Silicon Valley startup announces breakthrough nuclear detection technology to address President Obama's nuclear threat concerns
Rhombus Power's product independently verified by NIST to meet ANSI standards
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Rhombus Power Inc.'s first product, Mercury, is a networked, scalable, digital, highly accurate, easy to use neutron detector. Mercury can be readily used by homeland security, defense, and intelligence communities to detect contraband nuclear weapons and materials. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has independently verified that Mercury meets ANSI standards.
Mercury is being demonstrated in Gaithersburg (MD) on May 29(th) at the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to a number of U.S. Government agencies. An earlier prototype of Mercury was successfully demonstrated in December 2013 at UC-Berkeley to scientists and U.S. Government agencies.
President Obama and his national security team continue to rate nuclear terrorism as a high priority threat to our homeland. At the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague, in response to a question about his concerns over deteriorating US-Russian relations, he said, "I continue to be much more concerned, when it comes to our security, with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan."
According to Rhombus CEO and Founder Dr. Anshuman Roy, "Currently deployed nuclear detectors are unreliable because they are inaccurate and require frequent calibration. And the world has run out of Helium-3 that served as the workhorse neutron sensing material for decades."
To address this critical national security need, Dr. Roy left a research position at UC Santa Barbara in 2012 to start Rhombus Power. Dr. Roy and his Rhombus team joined the NASA Research Park (NRP) at NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley. According to Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Alan Heeger, "Rhombus' neutron detector (Mercury) will make America safe from terrorist movement of fissionable materials. It is 10x more accurate than available solutions and it is free of false positives that plague existing technologies – it is a breakthrough innovation."
Rhombus has provided detectors to the nuclear science departments at the University of California, Berkeley, and San Jose State University for characterization. According to Dr. Kai Vetter, Professor of Nuclear Engineering at UC Berkeley, "Mercury is an on/off detector for neutrons that does not require calibration and is free of false alarms." Dr. Gilles Muller, Director of Nuclear Science at San José State University commented, "We are delighted to facilitate the characterization experiments of Mercury at our Nuclear Science facility."
Mercury also has scientific applications in digital neutron imaging for drug discovery and materials science as well as commercial applications in oil & gas, lumber and agriculture markets. Dr. Roy is very excited about the broad applicability of this breakthrough technology that he predicts will require major expansion of his company and number of employees.
NASA Research Park Director Michael Marlaire noted, "We are so proud that yet another of the NRP startup companies has developed a platform with so many potential benefits to the American people". The NRP is pursuing the White House goals, "Accelerating Technology Transfer and Commercialization of Federal Research in Support of High-Growth Businesses", as expressed in the October 28, 2011 Memo to Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies. Over the years, NRP has successfully incubated businesses that started with only intellectual property and a plan, and now employ thousands in Silicon Valley, including Bloom Energy, AlterG, Apprion, and Benetech.

Stable Steelers win by staying the course
The deal also satisfies NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who gathered the brothers in New York in late August and made it clear the league wanted one of the most successful, stable and well-run franchises in pro sports to remain in Rooney family control.
"They've run a model franchise," Goodell said. "I think everyone in Pittsburgh recognizes how proud they are of the Steelers. We in the NFL recognize how fortunate we've been to have Dan Rooney's leadership and now Art's leadership."
There were no win-one-for-the-Rooneys rallying cries in their locker room, at least any that were heard by outsiders, but it's evident the Steelers wanted to play well for owners they consider to be friends as well as employers.
"He (Dan Rooney) actually told us, `There's a situation going on with the ownership right now but, you know what, if we win, it will take care of everything,' " All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu said. "And you know everything's happened the way he predicted."
Dan Rooney, a Pro Football Hall of Famer like father Art Sr., is one of the few owners recognized with legislation named after him. The Rooney Rule requires teams to interview minorities for key positions.
The way the Rooneys rule the Steelers is relatively simple: spend wisely. Don't throw big money at players who are productive but may be past their prime early in their new contracts. Hire good people. Be patient, because patience often pays off in production.
The Steelers list 104 full-time employees, from Rooney to the ticket sellers. The Dallas Cowboys list 209, or twice as many.
"They do a great job of letting their personnel do their jobs," Keisel said. "They take care of things on their end and let the people they've hired for their positions do their job. That's what's special."
Think many teams would have kept coach Bill Cowher after he went 7-9, 6-10 and 9-7 from 1998-2000, missing the playoffs each time? The Rooneys did, and were rewarded with records of 13-3, 15-1, 11-5, 10-5-1, three AFC championship games and a Super Bowl over the next five seasons.
The Steelers also don't want players who demand the spotlight and demean others – you'll never see them pursuing a Terrell Owens – or who don't buy into their team-is-everything concept. The principles were the same when Chuck Noll turned a franchise that hadn't won a single postseason game in 40 years into a four-time Super Bowl winner. And when Cowher had eight teams that won 10 or more games from 1992-2006.
That philosophy hasn't changed with second-year coach Mike Tomlin, who sternly told his players he doesn't want Gatorade baths, and director of football operations Kevin Colbert, who doesn't give interviews during the season so as not to distract the team.
Dan Rooney himself illustrates the Steelers' lack of ego and pretentiousness. He doesn't take a corporate jet to league functions; for years, he piloted his own small plane. He has no bodyguards or entourage. He usually drives one of the U.S.-built sedans the Steelers acquire for key staffers in sponsorship arrangements with car dealers.

does anyone's baby crawl with 1 leg out to side? its like he's trying to walk with 1 leg and crawl with the other... anyone experiencing this? i'm so new to posting, how do i know if someone responds? how do i find my post? HELP ME :)
baby crawls with one leg out to side
My DD started off that way! When she just started crawling she had one leg out to the side, but after a while it changed to the normal crawl motion
Andrea - Loving Mama to
Lauren Elisabeth ( 12/28/07 ) and Max Allen ( 07/19/2010 )
How old is your baby? Is he just leanring to crawl or has he been crawling. My dd did that after she had been crawling and she was trying to go faster I think.
Tiffany- mom to ADHD prince (10) and princess (4)
My son started crawling like that. It was so cute! It was like he wasn't sure he wanted to crawl on his hands and feet or hands and knees. LOL!! He finally settled for one. I think the other part was he didn't like how the carpet felt on his knee.
I hope youa re able to find your post.
"Just another 2 cents from Ieasa"
yeah he started crawling with 1 leg, and dragging the other, then got them both up and crawling and now the one that was crawling has moved to the out and semi-up position and the other one is still crawling, i think its cause he realizes he can go faster that way, just waiting for him to walk...
oh and he's a year....he cruises on all the furniture just fine
LOL my DD did that too. She looked like she was trying to crawl while doing the splits. She would like scissor around the floor. I think she did eventually end up crawling correctly but it took a while.
The proudest mommy of all to the bestest little girl of all, Ainsley 4/2004

French bid to disarm African militias a challenge
Thibaud Lesueur, a central Africa analyst with International Crisis Group, said these efforts in Central African Republic are "still at an embryonic phase" and "should be accelerated to bring in the militiamen."
In recent years, French forces have had experience in disarming fighters, in places like Afghanistan, where they repeatedly dismantled vast weapons caches, or in peacekeeping missions in the former Yugoslavia.
"In ex-Yugoslavia, when dealing with Serbs and Albanians, we could speak with authorities who could mostly control their fighters," said Gaviard — but that's not so in Central African Republic.
"Africans disarming Africans doesn't have the same connotation as when it's the French. Otherwise, you look like an occupation force," Gaviard said. "The Africans (peacekeepers) need to be on the front lines as soon as possible."
Two U.S. C-17 transport planes were in Uganda Wednesday preparing for an airlift mission to take troops into Central African Republic, U.S. Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said. The American crews were planning to fly to Bujumbura, pick up Burundian forces and their equipment and then take them to Bangui, Warren said, though he didn't know precisely when the mission would start.
Warren said the equipment is mostly the personal gear of the Burundian troops, but also includes a small number of jeeps and trucks, though no major combat vehicles.
Jamey Keaten reported from Paris. Sylvie Corbet in Paris, and Pauline Jelinek in Washington, contributed to this report.

Sun Life sees strong finish for 2012 sales
Booming PH economy spurs demand
MANILA, Philippines—Sun Life Financial Philippines expects to report a sharp rise in revenues this year as sales of its insurance and investment products surged, aided by the country's booming economy.
In an interview, Sun Life president and CEO Riza Mantaring said that preliminary figures point to a growth rate of "over 80 percent" in sales for products and services of the insurer as the end of 2012 draws near.
"The growth in Sun Life's premium income from the Philippines is up because of both organic growth and the acquisition of Sun Life-Grepa," she said, referring to the former Grepalife Financial Inc. of the Yuchengco family in which the insurer acquired a 49-percent stake last year.
"We're above target for both Sun Life and Sun Life-Grepa," she said.
The growth in the local unit of the Canadian insurance giant is pacing the growth of the Philippine insurance industry which, Mantaring pointed out, is also on the rise.
"The whole industry is showing strong growth," she said. "The economy is doing extremely well, and this is the third year in a row that the insurance industry is growing by an average of 30 percent."
The Sun Life chief noted that the growth of the industry is still being driven, for the most part, by heavy demand from the market for variable universal life (VUL) products.
In a VUL plan, premiums and death benefits are flexible and the fund value depends on the performance of the funds chosen by the policyholder.
"The [VUL] market is so strong, and there are two factors driving it," she said.
The first one, according to Mantaring, is the prevailing low interest rate regime, which is making traditional investment products more difficult to sell because of the declining yields.
"In other markets, they understand the need for [insurance] protection, but here, there's still the mindset that the savings component has to be there," she said, in explaining why VUL products are more popular than traditional insurance policies. "We need more financial literacy because insurance is a need by itself."
The other factor boosting Sun Life's VUL sales is the strong performance of local equities and bond markets.
Last year, Sun Life Philippines became the largest insurer in the Philippines in terms of premium sales, as it collected P13.9 billion worth of premiums in 2011, 31 percent more than the P10.6 billion yielded in 2010, making this the highest in the company's 117 years in the Philippines.
Mantaring expressed confidence that the company's No. 1 position would be maintained in 2012, but said that the final tally would only be available once the complete sales figures for 2012 are presented.
"We're quite positive and hopeful on the Philippine market," she said, when asked about the prospects of the local economy going forward. "From an external perspective, [foreign businesses] are also very positive."

ATLANTA, GA, MARCH 18, 2009: VMG Worldwide, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vexiom Corporation, is among the worlds premier sports, entertainment, and media companies, announced today that Haitian WBA Fedelatin Champion Daniel Edouard has signed with the company for exclusive worldwide marketing representation. The Haitian natives decision to add VMG to his marketing team demonstrates his commitment to making every effort to remain fully engaged with his U.S. and International fans, media and community groups across the globe..
While my career is based in the United States, Haiti is home, so of course I want to remain fully connected there in every way possible and working with VMG, with their resources in the U.S. and around the world, will help me do that said Edouard. I consider myself very fortunate to enjoy a career in professional sports, but to me it is a platform to accomplish much more, especially as it relates to helping others.
The 28-year old Edouard (21-2-2), best known on HBO, Showtime and ESPN for his prolific speed, aggression and defensive boxing skills earn the WBA Champion the night ranking in the world to win the WBA Fedelatin and WBA Fedecentro Championships, is in fact an extremely talented boxing athlete and boasts a business and humanitarian resume as multi-dimensional as his athletic interests.
Daniel Edouard is not only a Haitian sports treasure, but a global icon, and VMG looks forward to working with him on his out of the ring business strategies and promotional efforts said Tyler Barr, Chief Executive Officer, VMG Worldwide. Daniel is an example of everything that we could hope for in a role model for young people, and our goal is to help him reach new audiences, specifically in the U.S., but also internationally.
While he has enjoyed huge success in his professional endeavors, both in and out of the ring, perhaps Edouards greatest legacy will be in his charitable work all over the globe. The Haitian Sensation Foundation was formed in 2002 and is aimed at giving troubled youth around the world the opportunity to accomplish their dreams through music, theater, dance and sports.
Edouards list of awards and accolades out the ring is as long as his accomplishments inside the ring. Daniel has also entered into the promotion world with Haitian Sensation Promotions. Daniels personal motto is You are only one decision from either greatness or defeat.
PHILADELPHIA (March 16, 2009)In a recent interview with www.phillykeith.com, cruiserweight Dave Brunelli along with his ubiquitous manager Mike Murphy guaranteed that Brunelli would be the first man to defeat undefeated Isreali Cruiserweight sensation, Ran Nakash on April 3rd at The Legendary Blue Horizon.
The card is promoted by Vernoca L. Michael and Blue Horizon Boxing Promotions Inc.
Brunelli, of Northeast Philadelphia has a record of 8-4 with three knockouts and is moving down to cruiserweight to take on one of the hottest fighters around.
Brunelli and his team are unfazed about the record and as a matter of fact they believe his record is extremely padded.
I dont understand why I am the underdog, said Brunelli.
He hasnt fought anyone.
Murphy went on to tell www.phillykeith.com, We love being the opponent and Nakash will feel the power.
Ill be damned if I let a guy from Israel take over the Blue Horizon and on April 3rd the 0 must go.
On April 3rd the talking will stop and this bout has all the making of some of the great ethnic boxing matches of the past when fights between Jewish and Italian fighters were very common.
If that isnt enough a packed has been put together and an old school Philly Turf war will take place as Tyric Too Sweet Robinson takes on Julius Marvel Edmonds in an eight round Jr. Welterweight bout.
Robinson, who is a corrections officer, has a record of 9-3-1 with three knockouts and is coming off an eight round unanimous decision loss to the undefeated Jason Cintron on October 17th at The Legendary Blue Horizon.
Edmonds has a deceiving record of 4-3 but his tough as nails style has endeared him to Philly fight fans early in his career.
Edmonds is always in his opponents face and has won two in a row which includes his last outing in which he scored a six round unanimous decision over then undefeated Linwood Hurd on February 6th at The Legendary Blue Horizon.
Also seiing action on April 3rd will be Legendary Blue Horizon favorite, middleweight Gee Cullmer.
Cullmer, 15-1 with three knockouts will fight in an eight round bout against an opponent to be named shortly.
In Cullmers last fight on September 12th, he engaged an in eight round war with Jameel Wilson for which Cullmer walked away with the split decision in what many are calling the 2008 Philly Fight of the Year.
In a six round Super Featherweight bout, Joselito Collado of Queens, New York returns to The Legendary Blue Horizon when he takes on Jason Rorie in a bout scheduled for four rounds.
Collado, 6-0 with two knockouts has one Legendary Blue Horizon appearance that took place last October 3rd where he won a unanimous decision over David Orosco in a bout that was a toe to toe war over four rounds.
Rorie, 2-2-1 with one knockout was able to stop Cano two bouts ago. In his last bout, The Winston-Salem, North Carolina native fought to a six round draw with Juan Nazario (6-1) on February 27th.
Marcus Bioncani will be back at The Legendary Blue Horizon as he will risk undefeated (3-0, 3KOs) record when he takes on debuting Archambo Tuba of Israel.
Bianconi of Houston, Texas surprised some when he made his Legendary Blue Horizon debut when he scored a second round stoppage over John Turner. Since then, Bianconi scored a first round destruction over Nelson Roldan on February 25th in Lyndhurst, NJ.
Hot welterweight prospect Ronald Cruz of Bethlehem, PA will look to stay undefeated in a four round welterweight bout when he takes on an opponent the be named.
In his most recent outing, Cruz (3-0, 2 KOs) scored one of the most vicious one-punch knockouts when he nearly decapitated Russell Cloak in one round on March 13th.
In a four round bout, Taneal Goyco (1-0, 1 KO) will battle Davit Davitashvili in a battle of Philadelphia-based Cruiserweights.
Derrick Bivins of Philadelphia (1-0-1) will take on an opponent to be named in a scheduled four round Super Featherweight bout
These fights will be streamed live all over the world on www.gofightlive.tv
Ticket prices for this great night of boxing are $200 for Queen Seating, $125 for Presidential seats, $65 for VIP, $55 for Ringside, and $45 for General Admission and can be purchased by calling The Legendary Blue Horizon at 1-215-763-0500. Doors open at 6:30 PM / 1st bout begins at 7:30 PM
From WBC President Jose Sulaiman:
The WBC has obtained a donation from the Roomate Hotel of furniture for 75 bedrooms that the WBC will donate to professional boxers with very limited financial conditions in Mexico, especially to former world or national champions as well as to those who are indigent, but who were professionals for at least five years.
The first two boxers to receive this donation of a bed with a base and its mattress, a wooden closet 24-inch television, a desk and a minibar are Víctor Rabanales from Chiapas and Raul Baby Juárez from Mexico City. Rabanales is a former WBC bantamweight champion of the world who was for a time under the influence of drugs, but recovered after a rehabilitation program of several months that was sponsored by the WBC. He is married and has two little children. Juárez was a three-time Mexican national champion and fought unsuccessfully for the world title two times. He is also married.
The WBC declares a day or mourning for Jean Deswert, a fine boxing gentleman who dedicated so much for so many years to boxing. Mr. Deswert, who was born in 1926, was a well-known referee and judge for the European Boxing Union and WBC, a member of the WBC Ring Officials Committee, and a great leader of the Royal Belgian Boxing Federation.

Quick non-polling questions here, but who else is taking advantage of the new PvE snowball fights to further their surviving careers? Or at least, raise their newest little ones to stand a more fighting chance?
While it is true that the Rift Warden quests carry the burden of a death = no more survivor, the odds are definitely in your favour - level 20 stats, fixed damage... Don't get stupid and cocky, and there's a multitude of XP for your little ones. Level 20s have a bit more of a struggle, since they only recieve the inconsequential 16xp per kill, however, for one example, my little level 13 elementalist recieves 136xp per kill at this level, and throw in the 1k xp per quest completion, it makes for some fun days.
I'm unaware of whether the Rift Warden shows up in Ascalon City, but if you were planning to create a couple of Survivors from Elona, I'd recommend fast-tracking it while this opportunity lasts! As thrilling as the usual methods are (note: sarcasm) who doesn't love the opportunity to have festive fun, superb drops (for both keeping AND selling on) to propel themselves towards that lovely, wanted title!
Happy Wintersday would-be-survivors!
Note: As far as I'm aware, xp is not gained from Dwayna Vs Grenth PvP battles, though all that free, easy to get Faction is quite a lovely reward in itself.

NYC Transit Cracks Down on Fare Evasion on Buses
Wednesday, September 03, 2008
New York, NY —
NYC Transit officials are cracking down on people who board buses without paying the fare.
Officials have identified the worst routes and bus stops and they plan to crack down on them starting as early as next week.
Police officers will be part of the new enforcement, but exactly what role they'll play is still unknown because Police Commissioner Kelly has not signed off on a final plan yet.
Over 22% of fare evasion on buses takes place along 10 routes in Brooklyn and the Bronx. The worst is the B46 in Brooklyn, where drivers have reported a "theft of service" rate of about 4,000 a week.

I REALLY like the deck space of the tri. Most of my stuff can be outside anyway. But that 6' naught headroom is probably a deal breaker for me. We'll see. I don't have the $26k for the S2 in my pocket just yet, but I'm only a few days away if I need it. I hate to break the bank for this. Scary proposition.

Rio Ferdinand says Manchester United teammate Paul Scholes has never received the hairdryer treatment from manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Ferdinand, 28, said: "Anyone who says they've not been shouted at other than Paul is probably lying.
"He can't be shouted at, he's too good to be shouted at.
"He doesn't make mistakes - he's just a great player.
"We've got a lot of great players but Paul Scholes is a fantastic footballer.
"You just say 'Paul, you do this' and that's it."
Ferdinand - who admitted he had had the hairdryer treatment a few times - added: "Paul's loved as a footballer by his fellow professionals.
"For him not to have won the PFA Player of the Year or the Football Writers' Player of the Year is a travesty for someone of his talents."

No. 21/21 California (5-2) vs. Pacific (4-2)
Haas Pavilion • Berkeley, CA
Saturday, Dec. 7 • 2 p.m. PT
Series Record: California leads, 21-2
Last: Cal 66, Pacific 58 (November 17, 1998 in Oakland)
TV/Web/Radio: No Live Stream (as of Dec. 6 - due to live streaming of the Cal-Maryland NCAA Men's Soccer Quarterfinal)
BERKELEY – No. 21/21 California will look to make it five wins in a row when the Pacific Tigers visit Haas Pavilion for a Saturday afternoon matchup. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m.
The Bears have won four straight since dropping a 75-72 decision at George Washington, including two last week at the Nugget Classic in Reno, Nev., to win the championship with the victories over Wake Forest (84-61) and Idaho (59-55).
Pacific enters the game on a two-game winning streak with wins over Arizona and Notre Dame De Namur.
Saturday's match renews a rivalry that was last played 15 years ago in a 66-58 California victory. The Bears hold a 21-2 all-time series advantage and are 14-0 in home games against the Tigers.
Doors open at 12:30 p.m.A CALIFORNIA WIN FRIDAY WOULD:
* Extend California's winning streak to five games
* Improve California to 22-2 in the all-time series against Pacific
* Give the Golden Bear back-to-back home wins for the first time this season
A LOOK AT PACIFIC (4-2): Pacific enters Haas Pavilion on a two-game winning streak with a 75-66 victory over Pac-12 foe Arizona and a program-record 61-point win over Notre Dame De Namur (102-41). Junior forward Kendall Kanyon leads the Tigers averaging a double-double with 17.7 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. Transfer KiKi Moore is putting up 14.3 points per game after coming to Pacific from Fresno State where she finished her Bulldog career against California in the NCAA First Round with a 33 point, 6 rebound, 4 assist and 3 steal effort in 40 minutes.
CALIFORNIA-PACIFIC SERIES: California holds a 21-2 series advantage against the Tigers, but the two teams have split the last two meetings with Pacific claiming a 64-63 win in the '97-98 season, and Cal claiming a 66-58 win in the '98-99 season. The two programs have not met since that Cal win with Saturday's game renewing the rivalry that has gone 15 years without a game. California has not lost to Pacific in Berkeley, claiming a 14-0 record against the Tigers in home games.
GAME RECAP (Cal 59, Idaho 55): No. 20 California held on behind a 15-point, 8-rebound and 8-assist outing from Brittany Boyd to defeat Idaho, 59-55, and win the John Ascuaga's Nugget Classic championship at the Lawlor Events Center. Boyd, who was named the tournament MVP after finishing the two-day tournament averaging 14 points, 5.5 rebounds and 7 assists, scored five points in the final 90 seconds to help secure the victory for the Bears – the fourth consecutive for Cal. Reshanda Gray was named to the All-Tournament team with 12 points while freshman Courtney Range recorded her first career double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds.
GIVE IT TO GRAY: Junior forward Reshanda Gray currently leads the Pac-12 in field goal percentage at .688 through seven games and ranks fourth nationally in the category. Gray is currently 44-of-64 shooting after going 10-of-15 (.667) from the field at the Nugget Classic last weekend. Gray's production will be a note to watch throughout the season with the California single-season record currently set at .624 (78-of-125) by Sophie von Saldern in the 1992-93 season.
BALANCED OUTPUT: California lost last year's leading scorer, Layshia Clarendon, to the WNBA, and the 2013-14 Golden Bears have used a balanced attack to find success. Through seven games, four different Golden Bears have led the team in scoring. Afure Jemerigbe led the team in the first two games (13pts, 16pts), Reshanda Gray then led in Cal's next three games (24pts, 15pts, 23pts), and Justine Hartman (16pts) and Brittany Boyd (15pts) took the reigns in the two games at the Nugget Classic.
COURTNEY'S RANGE: Freshman Courtney Range has had a strong start to her collegiate career with a 6.9 point and 10.3 rebound per game average. Range has led in the Bears in rebounding in five of seven games this season and is the only Golden Bear averaging double-digits rebounding. She currently ranks fourth in the Pac-12 and 42nd nationally with her 11.2 rebounds per game and is fourth in the Pac-12 with 1.4 blocks per game for Cal.
CALIFORNIA DOUBLE-DOUBLES: Freshman Courtney Range posted the first double-double of the season for California with her 11-point, 11-rebound outing against Idaho in the Nugget Classic. Brittany Boyd had a near triple-double in the game with 15 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
BOYD'S REDEMPTION: against Northwestern, junior guard Brittany Boyd was held scoreless for the first time in her career after going 0-for-5 with three rebounds, two assists and 1 steal before fouling out in 14 minutes of play. Boyd bounced back from that outing to win the Nugget Classic Tournament MVP honors by averaging 14 points, 5.5 rebounds and 7.0 assists in wins against Wake Forest and Idaho. Boyd's previous low was 1 point scored as a freshman against Oregon State on January 5, 2012, and she backed that up with a line of 11p-4r-6a in Cal's next game.
COHEN NOMINATED FOR GOOD WORKS TEAM: Senior Avigiel Cohen has been named as a nominee for the second-annual AllState WBCA Good Works Team. The award recognizes a select group of college basketball student-athletes who represent the sport's finest in the areas of leadership and charitable achievements amongst their peers. An active member of the Jewish community on campus, Cohen pushed for and promoted the establishment of both the Berkeley Club of Israel and a UC Alumni Group in Israel in the summer of 2013, and one of the first reunions was held at the Sheraton Hotel in Tel Aviv in July.

Our mission is to protect and restore Cape Cod Bay and its resources.
Our primary effort is to stop pollution and destruction of marine life caused by Entergy's Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station.
Surface Water Pollution and Destruction of Marine Life
Pilgrim uses an outdated, once-through cooling water system that uses up to 510 million gallons of water per day from Cape Cod Bay. The cooling system discharges large quantities of heated waste water back to the source, negatively impacting marine species and habitats. Pilgrim's thermal pollution covers nearly 5 miles of the Bay. Pilgrim's once-through cooling system also has direct impacts on marine life, killing billions of fish, shellfish and plankton every year. Pilgrim's licence to operate this destructive cooling system has been expired for 18 years. Additionally, sodium nitrite (a corrosion inhibitor and additive to industrial greases) and tolytriazole (a corrosion inhibitor) have been leaking into the surface waters of Cape Cod Bay since Feb. 2014, with no plan in place to fix the leaks.
Groundwater Pollution
Pilgrim has been leaking radioactive tritium and other contaminants into the Plymouth-Carver Sole Source Aquifer, which supplies drinking water to many towns in the region. All source(s) of the tritium leaks have yet to be definitively identified. Entergy also discharges industrial pollutants into the ground from its onsite wastewater treatment plant. Groundwater reportedly flows toward Cape Cod Bay, meaning radioactive tritium and industrial waste are likely polluting the Bay as well.
Nuclear Waste Storage
Entergy is building a nuclear waste storage facility (called dry casks) at Pilgrim, as close as 175 feet from the shoreline. Storing high-level nuclear waste in a coastal zone, below a safe elevation (only about 6 feet above the FEMA flood level) is a serious concern especially considering patterns of climate change such as sea level rise and increasingly intense storms. The dry casks could remain there indefinitely, making the town of Plymouth a de facto nuclear waste dump. As it currently stands, the nuclear waste storage facility is not being designed and built in the safest way possible – in terms of the environment, public health, and the economic well-being of the town. Entergy should be required to obtain a special permit under Plymouth zoning laws, so that the Town can impose certain conditions on the project.
Climate Change Patterns
In the case of Pilgrim, the effects of of climate change patterns (e.g., rising sea levels, warming sea water and air temperatures, increasing intensity of storms and related storm surges, flooding, and wave action) are increasing risks to safety and environmental health. These patterns threaten the facility's cooling system that is essential to normal (and safe) operations are likely to cause flooding events that will have site-wide impacts. They also pose significant risk to the stability of dry cask nuclear waste storage facility being constructed only about 175 feet from the shore of the Bay.

"An absolute gem!"
We've visited this site 6times previously and stopped in a variety of static homes owned by tour operators so knew the area well, this was our first experience of using a private owner.
We were met by a lovely couple in reception who deal with the change overs who provided us with keys, sorted our wristbands and passes and ensured we understood the workings of the home. Good communication prior was given by the owners and their reps in france.
The home is in a convientent location on site, close to the amenties but not too noisey, providing both shade and sunny periods, a large decked area outside is lovely for el fresco dining. The home itself was wonderful, very homely, clean and beautifully maintained. With the little added extras of a tv ( great if the Brittany weather is bad!) hairdryer, fans etc.. All the things you need and usually forget!
I cannot recommend the site and home enough, I would like to keep this little gem a secret as it is certainly the best value for money, set in a wonderful location and is very well maintained. Im sure anyone who uses it will be thrilled! Happy holidays :))

"Lovely mobile home on a fantastic campsite."
This mobile home was superb! The accomodation is spacious and well furnished and we were very impressed with the quality of all the fixtures and fittings.... far superior to those available in a standard rental property.
The photos do not do it justice!
We particularly liked...
# large deck area outside adds another 'room' to eat and relax.
# large grassy pitch enclosed by hedging to either laze in the sun or for childern to play
# plenty of wardrobe space with lots of wooden hangers.
# two showers and two toilets...perfect for a holiday with two teenagers.
# generous sized 2nd bedroom with proper beds suitable for adults.
# full size fridge/freezer and cooker with grill...perfect if rain means the BBQ isnt in use.
# spotlessly clean on arrival.
We found the owners to be very helpful and the booking process was quick and hassle-free. With local contacts based on site it was easy to get the key and they also knew lots of useful information about the local area, market days etc.
Having holidayed in France for the past few years the site at des Ormes is a real favourite. There is plenty to do but it isn't at all rowdy. This mobile home is in an ideal location close to all the ameneties and entertainment but in a peaceful spot.
We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. We would happily book again and definately recommend to others.

And now, some quick throat clearing, and all together, let us sing: "O, Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree . . . "
At 5 p.m. Monday, one of Milwaukee's oldest traditions bursts forth again: the annual Christmas tree lighting at Red Arrow Park, at E. Kilbourn Ave. and N. Water St.
The lineup of public officials includes Mayor Tom Barrett, Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele and the master of ceremonies, actor John McGivern.
The Salvation Army Brass Ensemble, the Rep's "A Christmas Carol" Intern Quartet, the Lincoln Center of the Arts Ambassador Choir, and Rudolph and Hermey from First Stage's "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" will provide the entertainment. Audience members, of course, are expected to lend their own voices to the festivities.
And, yes, Santa will be there to hear wish lists from all the children.

Friends for 30 years we met at Surrey University studying hotel & tourism management. Career wise we went our separate ways with Peter running The Roof Gardens in Kensington, London. 12 years ago we got together and decided we wanted to provide big groups with really great places to stay and to be able to provide top quality catering and activities if our guests wished.
Ring and speak to Peter, pictured above and he will be delighted to help you have the best time possible at one of our houses.
Peter Insall purchased this chateau / country house in 1994
Tone Dale House has been in Ben's family for generations, which makes it a unique big house to stay in. Full of character and charm, the history of this remarkable west country family, through mill owning, banking, mountaineering and ski-ing is displayed at the house.
Combine an elegant and charming property with the mod-cons of plenty of bathrooms, a dedicated party room with integrated sound and lighting system and a newly installed biomass boiler and you have the best of both worlds.
We organized a family reunion at Tone Dale with 24 of our friends and a few children between us. Everyone had an absolutely amazing time! The property is maintained to a very high standard, the rooms are all very large and the garden is also fantastic for adults and kids alike. The games room is great to keep adults and kids entertained regardless of the weather and the dining room is the perfect one for a dinner with that many people around the table.
Tone Dale is so big that we didn't really have the impression of being 26 people in the house at any point in time (apart from dinner).
The owner Peter was also very friendly and flexible with all specific arrangements we required (cots, names on the doors etc). Excellent service!
I highly recommend this place to anyone who is organizing a gathering with a similar number of people, with or without children.
I just can't wait until I have another excuse to go back to Tone Dale myself!
Organising an event like Christmas involving family and close friends was a daunting challenge. Not least finding the perfect venue. Tone Dale seemed to fit the bill, although I was slightly concerned given the wonderful reviews and photos my high expectations would not be met, and worse not met by the other revellers we had convinced to share this special time of the year.
I did not have to worry!
From the moment we entered the house, our doubts evaporated. Tone Dale house delivered on every level; welcoming, spacious, entertaining, historically fascinating and so very homely.
The bedrooms were extremely comfortable; with two bedrooms accessible on the ground floor in the neighbouring Stables (one of our requisites). Although, I must stress, wheelchair access to the Stables needs to be via the patio doors rather than the main door; a short walk (50m) from the main house.
With four ovens and industrial size pots and pans, catering for large parties is not a problem. We chose to do all our own cooking which proved to be no problem given all the equipment. Even cooking Christmas Day for 27 people was extremely successful. We also made a wise decision to schedule an online shop to arrive on our first day; all the main supermarkets reside in Wellington.
In addition to the floor plans and photos, Tone Dale boasts an entertainment/dance/TV room accessed through the Red Dining Room. This proved invaluable to younger members of the group. Whilst the tv in the Library was used as our 'quiet' room.
Given the large grounds, well stocked Games Room and good weather, we hardly used the television - a testament to Tone Dale.
The Big House Company were fantastic hosts and attended to ALL our requests, questions and needs without intruding on our time at the house.
The children had an especially wonderful time; including some of the 'permanent residents' (enough said). It has provided everyone with some very special memories which will stay with us for a very long time.
We set out with the idea of having an informal wedding, more along the lines of a party with the wedding ceremony in the middle of it and that's exactly what we achieved. The house lent itself superbly to our occasion, all of the guests loved it, we loved it and had the best wedding ever!

Tone Dale House is located on the outskirts of Wellington and is part of a once thriving woolen mill (now defunct). Within minutes you are in the Somerset countryside with access to great walks and country pubs.
Golf: Somerset, Devon and Dorset boast a wonderful, wide selection of courses for the novice or the more experienced golfer. We can help to arrange a 'West Country golf tour' starting at the excellent Oake Manor, near Taunton, and then select from a number of inland or seaside locations while based at Tone Dale or another one of the three Big Houses in Somerset.

Spitfire (Lady Jacqueline Falsworth Crichton) is a fictional character, a superheroine in the Marvel Comics universe. She was introduced as a member of the World War II era Invaders superhero team.
Publication history[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (March 2015)
Spitfire first appeared in Invaders #12 (December, 1976) and was created by Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins.
Fictional character biography[edit]
Jacqueline "Jackie" Falsworth was born in Maidstone, England, and is the daughter of the original Union Jack (and the sister of Union Jack II). As a teenager during World War II, she met the superhuman team the Invaders. Baron Blood attacked her, and the original Human Torch rescued her.[1] She was revealed to have been bitten by Baron Blood, who abducted her again; this time she was rescued by Captain America.[2] She received a transfusion of artificial blood from the Human Torch, which endowed her with superhuman speed. She used these new powers to save the Torch from the Blue Bullet.[3] She became an adventurer and took the name Spitfire and joined the Invaders, and went on her first mission with the Invaders.[4] She operated as a special agent for the United Kingdom and Allied Forces during World War II, as well as the United Kingdom's Home Guard.
With the Invaders, she parachuted into Nazi Germany. She was captured by the Nazis, and was about to be executed when she was rescued by Union Jack. She battled Warrior Woman, and escaped from Germany with the Invaders.[5] With the Invaders, she fought the Teutonic Knight, and helped prevent the assassination of Winston Churchill by Baron Von Strucker.[6] Alongside the Invaders, she clashed with Master Man, and freed the Mighty Destroyer from captivity.[7] After some time off, she returned to active duty with the Invaders.[8]
Jacqueline married a British nobleman, Lord Crichton, and together they had a son, Kenneth Crichton.[volume & issue needed] Kenneth was later seduced by a vampire cult leader, Baroness Blood, who bore him a son.[volume & issue needed] Kenneth became a vampire as well and took the name Baron Blood, but his lover betrayed and murdered him.[volume & issue needed] At the war's end, she retired from costumed activity.[7] She became the Chief-Executive-Officer of Falsworth Industries.
Decades after World War II, she was reunited with Captain America for the first time in many years. She was present during his final battle with the original Baron Blood.[9] Her super-speed faded as she grew older, although she was able to use her superhuman speed for the first time in a decade to overcome a criminal.[10] She later aided Namorita and the third Union Jack Joey Chapman in rescuing Namor from the original Master Man and Warrior Woman. She was shot in overpowering the Nazi, and received another blood transfusion from the Human Torch. The transfusion not only restored her youth and powers, but also established a psychic link between her and the Torch.[11]
Soon after, she returns to her role as Spitfire and encounters the mutant sorceress, Selene. Spitfire's son Ken is worried about his mother's social life. He tries to set her up with gentleman they know, but Spitfire explains that dating has been a bit weird for her ever since she was de-aged 48 years. Nevertheless, she begrudgingly agrees to the date and enters the pub to meet the guy. Meanwhile, Selene, having learned of Spitfire's recent rejuvenation, arrives and takes Ken hostage. Spitfire chases them to Selene's meeting point, where she has tied Ken to a remotely controlled explosive. One word from Selene, and Ken dies. Selene tells Spitfire she can save Ken by offering up her rejuvenated body for dissection, but Spitfire refuses, beating her up instead. She races to save Ken just as Selene triggers the bomb, rescuing him just in time. With the day saved, she agrees to give the blind date another try.[12]
She later joined the New Invaders, but resigned with most of the other members after the Torch's death.[volume & issue needed] She also had a brief relationship with Chapman, but they broke up due to the large age difference.[volume & issue needed]
She joins MI-13 as part of Britain's response to the Secret Invasion by the Skrull Empire.[volume & issue needed][13] She befriends,[volume & issue needed] and later suffers the loss of 'John', a Skrull that had been on earth for decades and was fighting for England.[volume & issue needed] In battle with two Super-Skrulls, Spitfire rips out their throats with her teeth, displaying vampire traits from her Baron Blood bite that have been previously unseen.[14] Captain Britain and MI: 13 writer Paul Cornell commented on her new traits, stating that:
In recent years she's realized that she has actually started to be able to use certain vampiric abilities, and that the fangs appear when she gets angry. But she feels no blood lust, and has no need to drink it, and it's all completely under her control.—Paul Cornell[15]
Even Spitfire herself shows some reservations about using her vampiric powers, as seen in the aforementioned attack on the Super-Skrulls:
This is not how I am. But sometimes, this is how I have to be.—[14]
When new MI:13 recruit and vampire hunter Blade first meets Spitfire, he stakes her.[16] She survives only thanks to the powers of fellow MI:13 member Faiza Hussain[17] and later begins a romantic relationship with Blade.[18] During Dracula's attack on Britain, Jacqueline's vampire son Kenneth visited her[19] and led her into a trap, where Dracula magically forced her into servitude. While she initially resisted, it seemed that he was eventually able to convince her to become one of his minions;[20] it was later revealed that Spitfire has been a double-agent the whole time, always helping Wisdom in gaining intelligence on Dracula's whereabouts.[volume & issue needed]
As part of the Marvel NOW! event, Spitfire was seen assisting Captain Britain in running the Braddock Academy (the British answer to the Avengers Academy).[21]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Jacqueline received superhuman powers as a result of a mutagenic reaction to a vampiric bite by the original Baron Blood, and a subsequent transfusion of artificial blood from the original Human Torch. As Spitfire, she possesses the ability to run at lightning-fast speeds, with reflexes & reactions, coordination, agility, and endurance to match. When she runs, a trail of non-damaging fire appears behind her. She can create cyclones by running in circles, and can run up walls and across water. Her skin is also hardened to withstand the rigors of such speed, providing a type of body armor, and her costume is synthetic stretch fabric chemically treated for protection from friction and other hazards of superhuman speed.
In the years after World War II, as Spitfire aged she ceased the use of her superhuman speed. Due to a second transfusion of artificial blood from the original Human Torch, Spitfire today has the body of a teenage girl, although she is chronologically many decades older. Her hair was originally still white from age, but it began turning blonde again.
It is said by the mutant sorceress, Selene, that Spitfire seems to possess a mutant regenerative power triggered by her transfusion of synthetic blood. With intensive study of her metabolism, blood stream, and glandular system, Selene hoped to one day duplicate the process.[12]
She has some vampire abilities including fangs that appear when she is angry. However, she feels no blood lust and has no need to drink it. She has shown superhuman strength sufficient enough to break a sword made out of titanium and also displayed a healing factor as she was able to heal a broken back and ribs in a few panels.[volume & issue needed]
Spitfire is a trained airplane pilot and exceptional athlete and hand-to-hand combatant, utilizing her ability to move at superhuman speeds, due to training by the original Union Jack and Captain America.

When things are stressful as they are today, I turn to nature for a connection that offers peace, beauty and today, some good news.
Tuesday, Belize's Supreme Court declared offshore drilling contracts issued by the Government of Belize (in 2004 and 2007) null and void, effectively ending the Belizean government's immediate effort to allow offshore oil drilling in the Meso American Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world and providing definitive setback to The Government of Belize and the petroleum prospecting companies issued the contracts. In 1842, in his study of the evolution of coral reefs, Charles Darwin declared that Belize was home to "the most remarkable reef in the West Indies."
The ruling, was in response to a case brought by Oceana, COLA, and the Belize Coalition to Save Our Natural Heritage. Oceana has long voiced its concern about the potentially devastating impact of an oil spill on Belize's reef and it's economy, which depends heavily on tourism and the barrier reef.
Remark from Oceana lauding the courts decision:
"This is a great day for the people and country of Belize and its democratic process and it shows that we, as ordinary citizens, need not sit back and only complain about all the wrong decisions our Government makes, but that we can use the Judiciary system to settle them."
The court overturned the contracts after determining that the government failed to assess the environmental impact on Belize's ocean, as required by law, prior to issuing the contracts. The court also found that contracts were made to companies that did not demonstrate a proven ability to contribute the necessary funds, assets, machinery, equipment, tools and technical expertise to drill safely.I've done some diving and snorkeling in barrier reefs and can attest to their great beauty. Take a look at what was saved by this court decision; coral from the Meso American Reef off Belize:
Oceana has campaigned against offshore drilling in Belize for more than two years. In 2011, after collecting the 20,000+ signatures required to trigger a national referendum that would allow the public to vote on whether or not to allow offshore oil drilling in Belize's reef, the Government disqualified over 8,000 of these signatures effectively on the basis of poor penmanship - stopping the possibility of a vote. Oceana answered by quickly organizing the nation's first ever "People's Referendum" on February 29, 2012 in which 29,235 people (Belize's entire population is approximately 350,000) came from all over the country to cast their votes.
In this historic vote, 96 percent of voters voted against offshore exploration and drilling. The government subsequently almost lost its majority in the national election that followed these votes. Oceana is fighting for a complete ban on offshore drilling in Belize and believes the Government of Belize should allow the people to express their opinion in an official referendum.

Just received the casing.
After reading on the Internet that it would fit my A95, i've ordered it and it's a match.
All of the function (except printing, but who cares) are available.
Anxious to try it with Bull Sharks in Sta-Lucia.
Comments about Canon WP-DC900 All Weather Housing for Powershot A80:
Used on about twenty dives so far. No significant problems - just a little bulky and cumbersome, but the camera itself is that way so it can't be helped. Don't care for the diffuser design and it's definitely not designed for rough handling, but overall a good housing that allows you to manipulate all the camera controls and take very decent photographs.

Bills to protect domestic violence victims advance
Another bill needs only a routine Senate vote to accept minor amendments before it would be sent to the governor. SB636 by Sen. Ellen Corbett, D-San Leandro, would expand the state's "Safe at Home" privacy program to cover posting information on the Internet about victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking.
The program, launched in 1999, offers crime victims a post office box and mail-forwarding service and limits disclosure of some public records that could make it easier for their attackers to track them down. Corbett's bill would expand the protections to cover websites, including data aggregators that compile and sell databases of personal information.
"Safe at Home was developed before we knew how much personal information was going to be on the Internet," said Phillip Ung, spokesman for the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault. The protections in the bill would close a loophole in existing law and gives victims another avenue to protect their privacy, he said.
Brown signed AB588 on Monday, extending the time for a victim of domestic abuse, stalking or other crimes to provide proof to landlords if they want to break a lease to escape an attacker. AB588 by Assemblyman V. Manuel Perez, D-Coachella, extends from 60 days to 180 days victims have to produce a police report or court order to avoid lease penalties.
That extra time can help victims who may be trying to care for children, find a new place to live and a new job after fleeing an abuser, Hayes said.

Cantonese (Bloody Mary Killer)
Undefeatable is a 1994 martial arts movie starring Cynthia Rothrock and directed by Godfrey Ho (using the pseudonym Godfrey Hall). The picture was a Hong Kong production, but filmed in English on location in the United States. An alternate version of the film, titled Bloody Mary Killer, was released for the Asian markets.
The film follows Kristi Jones (Cynthia Rothrock) who, along with her gang, take part in Mafia-run street fights to earn money for her sister's college education. Kristi's sister hopes to become a doctor and pay for Kristi's education.
Meanwhile, an underground fighter by the name of "Stingray" (Don Niam) is left by his scared wife, Anna, after raping her, and vows to find her. Stingray has suffered from abandonment issues since early childhood and this new trauma triggers a psychotic break from reality. He begins to kidnap women who resemble his ex-wife, and subsequently tortures them and gouges their eyes out before returning their bodies to the crime scene. Kristi's sister becomes one of the victims, so Kristi tracks down Stingray with the help of police officer Nick DiMarco (John Miller), who might just be falling for her, alongside her sister's psychiatry tutor Jennifer (Donna Jason) and Nick's partner Mike (Gerald Klein).
They eventually track down Stingray, who has kidnapped Jennifer, and fight in a warehouse where he escapes after shooting and killing Mike. Jennifer's injuries, though relatively minor, require that she be admitted to the hospital where she is again kidnapped by Stingray who is impersonating a doctor. Kristi and Nick chase him to a storage area where, in an infamous scene, the three do battle, mostly through hand-to-hand combat. Stingray is bested by the pair, having both eyes gouged out in the process.
The final scene shows with Kristi and her friends visiting her late sister's resting place to inform her that Stingray has finally been defeated. It is revealed that Kristi has somehow enrolled her former gang in college to give them a chance at a better life, and that Kristi has also been enrolled in college by Nick. The film ends with the group engaging in an impassioned four way high-five.
Bloody Mary Killer[edit]
This version was re-dubbed into Chinese and features a second plot starring Robin Shou.[1]
A clip of the film's final fight in the film was posted on YouTube in 2006 and soon went viral, attracting millions of viewers.[2] That scene was then featured on an episode of truTV's World's Dumbest Brawlers,[3] and was included on the lists by Cracked.com and UGO.com.[4][5]

Seriously, questioning the quality of a movie based on a few technical details is like telling Chef2sail that Lawry's makes the best prime rib. Just see the damn movie, let the story and character determine its worth. I know I am (sans Admiral, of course).
I could say the same about "Captain Phillips"....(not a movie for professionals, for the masses, etc), but at least Tom Hanks sounds like a merchant captain on the radio. Redford should have done a Butch Cassidy sequel, but I guess he's too old to ride a horse or jump off cliffs into rivers. :-) (BTW, if you haven't seen Capt. Phillips, do!)
For that matter, there are numerous examples of getting the technical things right....Top Gun, Hunt for Red October, Blackhawk Down.....Zero Dark Thirty...
IMHO, when you get the tech stuff right it makes for a better movie....usually it's not that hard. If the writers and directors can't make the effort....well it tells you something about how stupid they think the audience is.
