KUALA LUMPUR: Nour El Sherbini still can't figure out what made her take up squash.
Sherbini is a self-confessed tennis lover and readily admits that she admires Swiss star Roger Federer.
But tennis is not huge in Egypt and, at the age of six, she followed her brother and cousin to the squash courts and eventually picked up the sport.
In 2009, Sherbini created history when she became the youngest ever female to win the women's world juniors title – at the tender age of just 13 years old.
"I really love tennis. Given a choice, I would have opted for tennis ... not squash. I just don't know why I love tennis so much," said Sherbini. "Tennis is not big in Egypt and my brother and cousin both play squash.
"I just picked it up when I was six after watching them play and somehow just felt comfortable with it.
"Now that I've won a world juniors title, everything seems to be falling in place and I have no regrets now for choosing to follow the life of a squash player."
The 16-year-old Sherbini has since gone on to build a reputation as one of the future stars of the sport, with several quarters even comparing her to Malaysian squash queen Nicol David.
Yesterday, the powerfully-built Sherbini displayed the same type of grit and tenacity so typical of Nicol as she claimed a major upset in the form of world No. 12 Joelle King to reach the main draw of the CIMB Nicol David KL Open.
Despite being 2-1 down and trailing 8-10 in the fourth set, Sherbini staged a memorable fightback to win 11-5, 10-12, 4-11, 12-10, 11-8 in exactly two hours.
That fighting display has earned her a clash with world No. 2 Jenny Duncalf in the first round of the main draw today.
"At 8-10 down in the fourth set, I had no pressure so I just kept going and pushed Joelle hard," said Sherbini.
"It'll be a massive match against Jenny because she's number two in the world and I've played her before and I just want to enjoy my game."
Meanwhile, it was a disappointing day for Malaysia as none of the 17 entries in the qualifiers made it to the main draw.
In the men's event, Kamran Khan and Mohd Asyraf Azan went down fighting to Englishman Adrian Waller and Hong Kong's Leo Au respectively.
Another Malaysian, young Gurshan Singh, who received a free ride in the first qualifying round, also gave a good fight to Matthew Karwalski before succumbing 5-11, 7-11, 5-11.
In the women's event, national No. 3 Delia Arnold suffered a blow to her head against Aussie Donna Urquhart and eventually lost focus to go down 11-13, 3-11, 11-3, 6-11 in 52 minutes.
Second qualifying round
Men: Abdullah Al Muzayen (Kuw) bt Zac Alexander (Aus) 11-9, 9-11, 7-11, 12-10, 11-2; Adrian Waller (Eng) bt Kamran Khan (Mas) 11-1, 11-6, 11-8; Matthew Karwalski (Aus) bt Gurshan Singh (Mas) 11-5, 11-7, 11-5; Leo Au (Hkg) bt Mohd Asyraf Azan (Mas) 11-9, 11-7, 13-11.
Women: Nour El Sherbini (Egy) bt Joelle King (Nzl) 11-5, 10-12, 4-11, 12-10, 11-8; Donna Urquhart (Aus) bt Delia Arnold (Mas) 13-11, 11-3, 3-11, 11-6; Heba El Torky (Egy) bt Jaclyn Hawkes (Nzl) 11-7, 7-11, 11-6, 12-10; Dipika Pallikal (Ind) bt Nour El Tayeb (Egy) 12-10, 5-11, 11-8, 9-11, 11-6.

CORRECTING and REPLACING Applied Dynamics International Launches Affordable, High Performance rtX-DX.
CORRECTION...by Applied Dynamics International
ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 2004
In BW5711 issued March 4, 2004: Please replace the release with the following corrected version.
The corrected release reads:
The latest simulation technology from Applied Dynamics International (ADI) offers automotive, aerospace, and defense engineers an affordable, high-performance solution for the development and test of embedded control systems.
"The rtX-DX demonstrates that standard, PC-based, open architecture technology can meet the needs of extremely demanding hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) development and test projects. Many of the multi-controller development and test projects, being carried out by our customers, use highly complex real-time simulation models. The rtX-DX dual-Intel Xeon architecture provides the computational power required at an affordable price," said John McIntosh, CEO of ADI.
The new rtX-DX real-time simulator uses dual-Xeon server technology to provide incredibly high performance real-time simulation, on a standard PC-based platform. The rtX-DX takes advantage of SIMsystem symmetric multi-processing and a dual-CPU platform to effectively double the computational power of the rtX simulator. Communication between the CPUs is tightly coupled through the system bus providing 34.4 Gbit/s (4.3GB.s) bandwidth between the two processors, significantly faster than the 1.25Gbit/s link claimed by dSPACE to parallelize the DS1006 processor boards. Simulation computation benefits greatly from 64-bit floating point computation and Intel's Hyper-Threading technology.
Common automotive HIL simulations require frame times of 1ms or less. The rtX-DX can be used to run a full vehicle dynamics model (ex: CarSim-RT by Mechanical Simulation Corporation) on one CPU, an 8-cylinder powertrain model on the second CPU with a frame time of less than 0.1ms. This high computational performance capability allows for the use of very high-fidelity real-time models. Higher fidelity equates to improved accuracy and ultimately results in the development of better embedded control systems.
By designing the rtX real-time simulator platform using standard, commercially available PC technology, rtX simulators are able to take advantage of the fast-paced evolution of this technology to provide an affordable, high performance hardware-in-the-loop solution. Commercially available, low-cost PCI I/O boards are added to the rtX to provide the necessary real-time I/O capability in a cost-effective manner.
To continue utilizing the benefits of PC-based technology for real-time simulation, ADI is scheduled to release a Dual AMD Opteron-based rtX and a four CPU Xeon rtX later this year.
Through strategic partnerships and use of "best available" commercial technologies, ADI continues to position itself as the preferred solution for embedded electronic systems development and test.
A pioneer in the development, manufacture, and use of simulation and control system technology for more than 40 years, Applied Dynamics International design engineering products are used in leading real-time simulation laboratories around the world. Applied Dynamics International is a supplier of advanced embedded hardware and software development tools for the aviation, aerospace, automotive, defense, electronics and other related industries. Headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI, Applied Dynamics International also has offices in the United Kingdom, installations in 23 countries and representatives throughout the world.

Thread: I WILL RISE.
July 4th, 2014 #1
"A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace." Ecclesiastes 3:8.
Now my good artists, is a time for WAR! It is time to beat procrastination one and for all and rise from the battle a concept artist! For this is my dream. My belief. That with persistent attack, the enemy (procrastination) will eventually be defeated! It can be achieved only by your assistance. Join me in my journey as I post my thoughts and ideas here in this sketchbook daily. Be my wing-man. Give me feedback. Good or bad. Be critical. I don't care. I just want to improve at a rapid speed.
Below are some recent work I did so you can see where I stand in my quest.

Day 1
Alex DL: Thanks for visiting my Sketchbook! And yes, I know fear very well. Me and him have a loooong history together.
Artplur: Thanks for visiting! And yeah hopefully it will be very swift!
BenReichert: Thanks! Robots are one thing that I really like to draw. Those two robots are from a graphic novel that I worked on making in high school. If I can find the time I might try to do a digital re-vamp of the old story!
Here are some sketches that I did today. The first sketch is a digital color study from a photo from Norway. I feel like I need to get more comfortable using the Wacom tablet. I really wanna visit Norway one day. I love mountains! The last two are two animal skull studies that I did using Pilot High tec-C and a Gel pen. I think they turned out decently well. Have any of you seen Feng Zhu's videos on youtube. If so, I'm trying to get what he calls the "Draw Through Technique" down so any advice on doing that would be greatly appreciated!
I'm so ready for Day #2!
July 21st, 2014 #6
I know I haven't updated in a while. But I've still been drawing! Here are some sketches that I've done. Working on doing studies of anatomy in both animals and people. I am also going to be practicing perspective. My thumbnails need a lot of work. Anyone have any tips for creating thumbnails? Also, I signed up for Level UP! a few days ago. I'll be posting some work from there too. Now back to more drawing!
July 21st, 2014 #7
Here are some Character Concept Sketches that I did. Working on applying anatomical proportions.
July 22nd, 2014 #8
Did some more sketching before work today.
July 23rd, 2014 #9
Did some more work last night and this morning! I'm basically going through The Bridgman: Constructive Anatomy book and focusing on hands first. These are mostly reffed from life (AKA: my right hand!) I really love sketching bugs. Their bodies have a lot of segments so it helps me focus on shapes.
Decided to try a concept for a winter environment. It's still in the "sketchy" stage but I'll be posting updates of it later this week. I really like the cool colour palate!
What am I afraid of? Well... Perspective (Insert: shiver down my spine) So. I decided to try to draw some simple boxes in one-point perspective. They are a little wonky but it actually wasn't as hard as I thought! I'm trying to find a balance between working with pen and paper and digital.
As always... I'm new here on conceptart.org and any advice or comments are welcome!
I feel like I'm slowly gaining back my confidence...
July 24th, 2014 #10
Did some more sketching from my imagination. Really need to work on heads and faces. I really am struggling with drawing accurately from my imagination so I will be doing more painting studies from movies and photos. Really like the way the painting study is going so far! I might continue it later this week. Took me about 30 mins this morning reffed from a photo. My workload is piling up but I can do this!
My sketches are very quick and I think that is what is making them suffer in quality. I will try to slow down when sketching and focus on the proportions from now on to see if that helps.
Perseverance is key though! I will try to post tonight... if I can actually connect to the site.
Comments and critiques are welcome!
July 25th, 2014 #11
Did some hand sketches from Bridgman. Then a hand study. Then another portrait study from photo ref. I'm trying not to use the color picker to help train my eye to see value better. I really like how this one turned out. Working in gray scale is actually pretty fun!
July 29th, 2014 #12
Did some Bridgman studies this morning. Then came up with a character concept from my imagination! I'm going to paint it now.
July 29th, 2014 #13
Really like your hand-studies from Bridgman in #11! Those are gorgeus. Keep posting
July 29th, 2014 #14
Yeah I really am liking the Bridgman Books so far! The roughly formed figures resemble the style that I like to sketch in. Thanks for stopping by!
July 30th, 2014 #15
No problem man Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook as well! Can't wait to see your future posts!
July 30th, 2014 #16
Hey Andreas. I have a quick question. How did you attach the link to your sketchbook underneath your reply? I can't seem to figure out how to do that.
July 30th, 2014 #17
Oh, it's pretty simple Just click your name in the upper-right corner of the website and choose "signature". Then just click the globe to add a link and save the signature
By the way, I'm considering signing up for Level Up and I can see you are a member. What do you think about the courses?
July 30th, 2014 #18
I have only been a member for just over a week. The courses seem great so far. I have been working on the first assignment for the whole time because I am focusing on quality. The assignment is to copy your favorite artists using thumbnails in gray-scale. 25 paintings. I highly recommend you decide soon though because there is a coupon on the site that you can use for this month. It only lasts one more day though so you should decide soon. I signed up for the 4 month plan. And you can cancel at any time if you want. Good Luck Andreas! Thanks for the help with my signature!
July 31st, 2014 #19
No problem, thanks for the description of Level Up
July 31st, 2014 #20
Did a quick life study yesterday. Started working on a civilian soldier concept. Did a quick tank study today. And some sketches of heads. Did a quick paint up of an alien sketch. Really liking the color palate. Have a lot more work to do on it and the character. I have a lot of projects going so I am just going to post more WIPs of past projects tonight!
Just keep swimming... Just keep swimming.
July 31st, 2014 #21
Hehe, I like the alien guy at the bottom! For your still-life I would suggest fixing the edges a bit. You should be able to do it pretty easily with the eraser.

Thanks man! He was fun to paint. I have been working on him all night tonight and finally came up with a better design.
Yeah that's something that I struggle with in my drawings... line confidence. Thanks for the helpful critique Andreas!
July 31st, 2014 #23
Who's ready for some Gauges? I have been struggling to come up with a form that I like for my Alien man and finally after 2 hours I came up with a solid form. He looks way more menacing than the first sketch because I decided to do top-down lighting... and the gauges, of course. I still have a lot of detailing to do but that won't be hard now that I got the design down.
Still have to work on my character sketch. I'll try to post another WIP of that tomorrow!
August 1st, 2014 #24
Wow, he looks a lot cooler now Great job man
August 1st, 2014 #25
Hey! I'm enjoying the positivity you give off in this sketchbook. You're off to a great start, don't stop and never give up!
Have you heard of ctrlpaint.com? They have a wide variety of tutorials that will help you with your digital painting.
August 1st, 2014 #26
@BioOrganism: Thanks Andreas! It took me a while to get the proportions figured out; but I'm pretty happy with it!
@Codexa: Thank you for your encouragement Codexa! And Actually yes! I've looked at a few of his videos... not in depth though. I'll have to check some more out when I get some free time. Now back to painting!
August 1st, 2014 #27
Whooo! It's Friday!
Worked on the head of my character design this morning. Had a little trouble with the perspective in 3/4 view. So I did some Bridgman sketches and now am working on a head paint study to work on the skin tone. Really enjoying working on this guy! I'm already learning a lot!
As always critiques are welcome!
August 1st, 2014 #28
I think the colors are off on the last guy, I know it is just a wip but I wanted to mention it anyway in case you didn't notice
I like the way you rendered the skulls though! Looks nice
August 6th, 2014 #29
I know I haven't posted in a while. Sometimes life just gets in the way. Anyways, I did a bird study yesterday. Also, I totally forgot about deadline for the COW so I've been working on that for the last few days. Here's some WIPs for the Wasteland Prowler. It still needs detailing but let me know what you think! I'll post the finished piece tonight!
So ready to finish this bloody thing!
August 7th, 2014 #30
Here's my final for the COW. Didn't get to post it because my internet messed up last night. Did some Loomis studies.

"The Real Unemployment Rate"
April 16, 2013 - 12:00am
"You said it yourself, unemployment goes down to 7.6%, but everybody knows that is really misleading," said Brian Brenberg, Assistant Professor of Economics, in a segment on Blaze TV's Wilkow!
Over the course of the four minute segment, Wilkow and Brenberg discussed topics ranging from unemployment to minimum wage and taxes.
"Last month, the economy added 88,000 jobs," Brenberg said. "If that's the pace we continue to add jobs at, we will never recover to pre-recession employment levels. Even if that doubles, it will take us a decade to get there."

What's New in Research
Brock scientist finds rosemary extract effective in diabetes treatment
May 21, 2015
A Brock university scientist has discovered the herb rosemary does more than pair well with mushrooms or roast chicken.
Evangelia Tsiani in the Department of Health Sciences has found that extract from the evergreen-like herb increases the transport of glucose into muscle cells, working much like drugs, such as Metformin, used to treat Type 2 diabetes.
Her findings have been published in a paper titled "Increased skeletal muscle glucose uptake by rosemary extract through AMPK activation." They complement Tsiani's previous work studying the positive effects of resveratrol, an antioxidant common in red wine, and naringenin, a citrus flavonoid.
Her latest work is the first of its kind to show the direct effect of rosemary extract on muscle cell glucose uptake.
Free carbon credits can increase profits for polluters: Brock-Guelph study
May 20, 2015
Government schemes that regulate greenhouse gas emissions through the trading of carbon credits can actually increase profits for high-polluting companies if carbon credits are initially given to these companies free of charge, says new Brock University research.
Economist Marcel Oestreich and University of Guelph economist Ilias Tsiakas analyzed the impact on German industries of the European Union's Emissions Trading System, launched in 2005 to combat climate change.
Under the system, regulators place a specific limit – or "cap" – on the amount of greenhouse gasses that factories, power plants and other companies are allowed to emit into the environment.
Some companies emit less than their limit, while others emit more. The ones that emit less can sell the difference to companies that emit more than their limit through certificates commonly known as "carbon credits."
Trio of awards for dramatic arts professor
May 19, 2015
It has been a busy spring for Joe Norris.
In the midst of packing up his office to transfer to the new Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts, the dramatic arts professor added three newly acquired items to take with him: two awards from the American Educational Research Association and one from Brock University.
Norris and Richard D. Sawyer from Washington State University captured the association's Significant Contribution to Educational Measurement and Research Methodology Award.
They were recognized for their book, Understanding Qualitative Research: Duoethnography, which Norris and Sawyer co-wrote. The book details the duo's new research methodology called "duoethnography."
Scientists find that athletes don't really need all of those drinks
May 11, 2015
New research by scientists at Brock University has debunked the widely-held belief that dehydration saps the strength of athletes performing in hot conditions.
It is common to see distance runners or cyclists gulp water and other drinks during long races, trying to replenish fluids and avoid the loss of strength that has long been accepted as a consequence of dehydration.
But the Brock study, published this month in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, concludes there is no such impairment.
Lead researcher Stephen Cheung, a renowned kinesiologist whose research subjects have ranged from Olympic athletes to offshore oil workers, said his team's findings refute the long-unquestioned tenet that water loss hinders a competitor's performance.
This particular research involved 11 trained racing cyclists who wore IV drips while riding stationary bikes under competition-like conditions. Some cyclists had IV drips containing a saline solution to replenish fluids lost through sweat, but others had IV drips that were shams, providing no rehydration at all.
Brock-led arts documentary captures top prizes in international film competition
May 6, 2015
When young people are given the chance to tell their own stories in their own ways, amazing things can happen.
They produce plays that are both entertaining and informative. They deepen understanding of racism, bullying and other issues with which society grapples.
And they win international awards that affirm their creative ideas and work.
Such is the case with Commotion, a documentary arising out of a project of the same name that Department of Dramatic Arts associate professor Gyllian Raby and Carousel Players artistic director Pablo Felices Luna created three years ago in partnership with community groups.
Commotion captured two Prestige Film Awards for 2015: the Gold Award in the Educational/Instructional category, and the Silver Award for Research.
Study examines links between mental health and life satisfaction
May 5, 2015
Many young people, especially those who are struggling, believe their lives will improve in time. But a study out of Brock University, published in Clinical Psychological Science, shows that for the clinically depressed, the belief that life will get better in the future may forecast more harm than good.
Michael Busseri of Brock's Department of Psychology and graduate student Emily Peck conducted the study together and published their results jointly in the fall.
Busseri and Peck focused on depressed or recently-depressed individuals under the age of 45, using results from a large-scale study of American adults. Depression can make people view their lives in a negative way. Busseri and Peck wanted to determine how depressed individuals would view their futures compared to how they viewed their past and present lives.
While most people in the study anticipated a brighter future, even those who were depressed, this rosy view of the years to come actually placed individuals at a higher risk for clinical depression 10 years in the future.

I just read this post at StylizedWeb about MoreCSS which is a Javascript library following the CSS syntax!
For example, the code below will add the class "red" to div#test p:timer after 1000ms
div#test p:timer=1000 { add-class: red; }
And this code will create an popup alert box:
.say_hello:active { execute: alert("Hello there!" ); }
Check it out, and look at some of the things you can do with it! I'm definitely going to try a few things out.
Hey this looks very interesting. The syntax looks clean and not complicated. Are there any other advantages over jQuery?
Sounds great! I definitely try it.
Looks very cool. Haven't tried it out yet, will do so in a minute, but this must be a lot slower than frameworks that have more JS-like syntax.
This is nice, and only 12kb, so it can't be too slow to use.
I doubt it has the same amount of functionality as jquery and the like, but useful none-the-less.
Nice find!
Just took a read through the docs. Seems jQuery would be the better bet to be honest.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/20/14
(Eds: Updates. With AP Photos.) There were times during Missouri's 62-10 win over Southeastern Louisiana when offensive lineman Max Copeland had to collect himself and keep a promise he made to his dad. ''I'm here, man, I'm here,'' Copeland said he remembered thinking as he looked around at more than 62,000 fans in Memorial Stadium on Saturday. His father, Michael, made Max promise to take a little joy in how far he'd come. A native of Billings, Mont., Copeland spent three years with Missouri as a walk-on before earning a scholarship two weeks before the season. The 6-foot-3, 290-pound right guard then made his first start Saturday after senior Jack Meiners sprained a knee. For Copeland, a redshirt junior with wiry blond hair and a passion for rock `n' roll, starting for his father's alma mater was a long time coming. ''There's been something about watching Mizzou games since before I remember, there was a decision made, I'm going to be one of them,'' Copeland said. ''I'm suppos...

In order to beat the election code of conduct for assembly polls, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) plans to clear and organise bhoomipujan for the proposed Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC)-Chunabhatti connector. However, the actual groundwork will commence only after monsoon.
Requesting anonymity, sources within the development authority informed that special focus and priority is being given to the 1.6km-long elevated project (bridge).
"In the last six months to one year, there have been only inauguration of projects that were constructed in the last so many years. Except Kherwadi flyover, no significant new project has been added wherein some construction can be witnessed. This is a good opportunity to showcase that the present state government has not only inaugurated projects but also started work on new ones for the benefit of Mumbaikars," said an MMRDA official.
In a fortnight, an executive committee meeting is likely to be held to award contract for the project worth Rs203 crore. Within days of the meeting and by August 25, bhoomipujan will be conducted at 'G' Block of BKC.
Senior officials had visited the project site at 'G' Block on Tuesday evening. They have been holding meetings and discussing about the arrangements for the bhoomipujan.
The bridge will be constructed between 'G' Block (behind Diamond Bourse) of BKC and Chunabhatti (near Somaiya Ground) bypassing Maharashtra Nature Park, LBS Road and the railway tracks. Railway authorities have given in-principle approval to the project, but a final clearance is pending.
Due to changes in design from cable-stayed to having a pillar on Mithi river, the project cost of this connector has come down from Rs261 crore to Rs203 crore.
The aim of the project is to improve connectivity of BKC for commuters and motorists travelling to the eastern suburbs. Scheduled to be complete after three years, it will reduce traffic congestion at Kalanagar and Sion-Dharavi Link Road. After the Santa Cruz-Chembur Link Road was opened, there has been some reduction in traffic on Sion-Dharavi Link Road and Kalanagar.
Due to improper traffic dispersal system, on every working day, the business district witnesses traffic snarls at Kalina, LBS Road, MIG Colony Road and Kalanagar.

Aziz is a great host & will communicate with your regularly .Great Breakfast & location, beds are comfy. 2 suggestions for future visitors. 1.Do your research on how to get places as sadly Aziz misinformed us about walking distance to the stadium for the club cup final. as a result missed half the game 2. Check fees & pay on arrival. taxi prices more than quoted. He left the invoice with the French speaking lady so was too hard to explain so we left it as we were in a hurry. Otherwise great!

Mr. Aziz (the riad's owner) is probably the most helpful and nicest person you'll ever meet! Make sure you contact him before arrival, so you'll be picked up from the airport by a taxi. Mr. Aziz waited for me at the end of the street of the riad, where the taxi driver dropped me. Luckily mr. Aziz was there, you wouldn't find the riad on your own. I highly recommend this place. It's amazing and you won't regret it! :)

Found out today that my Dr scheduled me for an induction--the day before my EDD. I was induced with my first 2 weeks after her EDD with no progress, no nothing. I'm at 3cm and at least 50% effaced right now and last night my contractions started 13mins apart and ended up at 4mins apart over a 4hr period..I went to sleep and woke up with contractions still, but then they went away. Not even sure why he scheduled it in the first place, let alone without talking to me first /:
Seriously hoping I go into labor naturally because I reallllyy do not want to feel those pitocin contractions again x.x

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
CONYERS - State School Superintendent Kathy Cox made a trip down Interstate 20 for a special visit to Conyers on Tuesday night where she spoke to the Rockdale Newton Young Republicans Club.Nearly a dozen club members and supporting members - those who don't fall into the 13 to 40 age range - showed up to hear her speak at O'Charley's restaurant about some hot topics in education, as well as the state's strategic plan goals. "Nothing we're doing in education ... is being done randomly," she said. Goals she focused on in her remarks included the high school graduation rate, teacher quality and work force readiness among students. She said the graduation rate is improving, the number of students who take Advanced Placement courses is increasing and achievement scores are ranking higher among others in the nation. "We're raising the expectations and are having the students meet those expectations," she said. "We're starting to see the results (of changes)." Cox also hopes to increase the amount of highly qualified teachers and improve the education that students get for real-world experiences and work force readiness, such as what Rockdale is doing with the Rockdale Career Academy. "Rockdale is a shining star for us; it's a great program," Cox said, adding that students need to be able to compete in the work force and around the world in various post-secondary options during high school and especially after graduation. She encouraged the public to go to the Strategic Framework Web Site to see the goals and follow their status by visiting www.gadoe.org/strategicframework.aspx. "There's a lot of work to be done in education," she said. Of course, she said changes won't pay off overnight, and some of the work may be delayed due to budget constraints. "The state budget is horrible. We're very grateful for the federal stimulus money - it has prevented a lot of horrendous things from happening to teachers and schools and students - so it's been tough, but manageable," she said. "We're got to stay focused and keep plugging away at it. The good news is that we have a plan." Cox is one of several high-profile guests that the Rockdale Young Republican Club has brought to Conyers since its inception in January. It also brought in Georgia Insurance and Fire Safety Commissioner John Oxendine, among other Republicans, to speak to its group. Members hope to have more political figures and other guest speakers in the future. "If you ask politicians to come out and you're sincere about it, they will all say yes," said James Carroll, chairman of the club and a rising senior at Heritage High School. The club tries to meet monthly and is open to members ages 13 to 40. Anyone can attend meetings, and supporting members can be of any age. During the meeting, the club voted to change its name from Rockdale County Young Republicans to the Rockdale Newton Young Republican Club and begin a push to recruit more Newton County members. "We're really trying to mobilize the silent majority," Carroll said. "We want to educate people on what being conservative is all about." More information about the group and its meetings is available on its Web site www.rockdaleyoungrepublicans.com and on Facebook. SideBar: At A Glance Strategic Plan of the Georgia Department of Education · Increase high school graduation rate, decrease dropout rate and increase post-secondary enrollment rate · Strengthen teacher quality, recruitment and retention · Improve work force readiness skills · Develop strong education leaders, particularly at the building level · Improve the SAT, ACT and the achievement scores of Georgia · Make policies that ensure maximum academic and financial accountability Source: The Georgia Department of Education

China hits back at US over 'woeful' human rights record
More News from Agence France-Presse
BEIJING—China on Sunday accused the United States of human rights violations through its military operations abroad and failing to prevent its own citizens from gun violence, in a rejoinder to a US rights report.
The report, released by China's parliament, the State Council, said Washington has "turned a blind eye to its own woeful human rights situation", despite styling itself as "the world judge of human rights".
China — which officially includes rising living standards in its definition of human rights — released the report in response to a US report published Friday that said China's rights record has worsened over the past year.
The US report highlighted a Chinese crackdown on ethnic minorities, including Tibetans, the detention of political dissidents, as well as the widespread surveillance of citizens by a huge domestic security apparatus.
China responded by blasting US surveillance of its own citizens, and said that political donations have damaged the country's democracy.
China's report, culled from a variety of sources, including US media, accused US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan of causing "massive civilian casualties".
The report also cited "astonishing" casualties that resulted from mass shootings at a movie theatre in the state of Colorado in July and at an elementary school in Connecticut in December.
"Americans are the most heavily armed people in the world per capita," the report said. It added that the US had "serious" issues with discrimination of a sexual, racial and religious nature.
The exchange of critical reports between the two nations on human rights has become an annual tradition, while relations between the world's two largest economies remain strained over issues including cyber-hacking and North Korea.
A copy of the report was published by China's official news agency Xinhua.

Join Bernard Norcott-Mahany as he recounts "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (the movie Mitty is not the real Mitty) and other stories and cartoons by James Thurber.
Thurber, a writer and cartoonist for The New Yorker from the 1920s through the 1950s, has often been compared with Mark Twain as one of America's premier humorists. Though very funny, Thurber's stories have a darker side as well.
Come laugh, think, and even cry a bit as we explore Thurber together.

When the Supreme Court struck down the key provisions of the Defense of Marriage Act in June, it was a moment of jubilation for same-sex binational couples.

US budget deficit jumps in February by $204B
Wednesday - 3/13/2013, 2:58pm EDT
By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. federal budget deficit jumped in February from January, though it is still running well below last year's pace. Higher taxes and an improving economy are expected to hold the annual deficit below $1 trillion for the first time since President Barack Obama took office.
The Treasury Department said Wednesday that the deficit grew in February by $203.5 billion. That followed a small surplus of $2.9 billion in January. And February's gap was $28 billon smaller than the same month a year ago.
Through the first five months of the budget year that began on Oct. 1, the deficit is $494 billion. That's nearly $87 billion lower than the budget gap for the same period a year ago.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates the deficit will total $845 billion for the entire year. That would be down from $1.1 trillion in the 2012 budget year and the lowest since 2008.
Even with the improvement, the government would be required to borrow 24 cents of every dollar it spends this year.
The CBO's estimate doesn't reflect the $44 billion of across-the-board spending cuts that kicked in March 1. Those cuts many reduce the deficit further.
Higher Social Security taxes have contributed to a smaller deficit. The tax on nearly all Americans who draw a paycheck rose 2 percentage points this year. That increased revenue in February by $8 billion. The tax increase is projected to raise about $10 billion more a month in revenue for the rest of the budget year, which ends Sept. 30.
The government is also receiving more in income taxes. As part of a deal between the White House and Congress to avoid the fiscal cliff, tax rates rose on individual incomes above $400,000 a year and incomes for couples above $450,000. That is expected to raise $620 billion in revenue over the next decade.
Individual income tax receipts rose more than $75 billion to $500.6 billion in the first five months of the budget year.
Part of the increase reflects fewer tax refunds this budget year. So far, refunds are $20 billion lower than during the same five-month period last year. The key reason: the IRS delayed processing refunds by two weeks this year because tax policy wasn't set until the fiscal cliff was resolved on Jan. 1.
Modest economic growth has also boosted federal tax receipts. Last year, the economy grew at a modest 2.2 percent and generated an average of about 180,000 jobs a month. Job growth has topped 200,000, however, for the past four months. More jobs mean more income, which generates more tax revenue for the government.
The monthly budget update from the Treasury Department comes as both the White House and GOP leaders in Congress are renewing their efforts to reach agreement on a broad deal to reduce the deficit. But so far, there are few signs of progress.
Obama met with House Republicans Wednesday and plans to meet Senate GOP leaders Thursday.
The deficit is the amount the government must borrow when its expenses exceed its revenue. Each month's deficit is volatile and can be affected by calendar quirks that shift government spending or revenue from one month to another.
The deficits hit a record $1.41 trillion in budget year 2009, which began four months before Obama took office. That deficit was due largely to the worst recession since the Great Depression. Tax revenue plummeted. And the government spent more on stimulus programs.
The budget gaps in 2010 and 2011 were slightly lower than the 2009 deficit as a gradually strengthening economy generated more tax revenue.
President George W. Bush also ran annual deficits through most of his two terms in office after he won approval for broad tax cuts and launched wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The last time the government ran an annual surplus was in 2001.

I've ordered TYR suits in the past and have been happy with them. I swim a couple times per week and this one is starting to deteriorate already. It seems to be getting a bit baggy too.

My favorite swim suit for lap swimming
from Houston, TX
on 5/14/2015
I absolutely love the fit of this suit. I am a triathlete and use it for lap swimming 2-3 days a week and open water long swims weekly. This suit is super comfortable, does not ride up and holds up well to chlorine exposure. Sizing chart was spot on as well.
ran small for sizes i am used to
from va
on 12/2/2014
i am 5' 6", 150 and buy a bathing suit once every 10 years or so (not a big swimmer). sizes seem not what they were the last time i purchased a suit (same sizes). i ordered a 38 and a 40. the 40 felt better that the 38 but still too snug for my liking. i look forward to a little stretch in both. the 38 may get returned.
Comfortable fit and true to size
Elle F.
from Brooklyn, NY
on 9/10/2014
This is my second Alliance Splice suit. After 3 olympic/5 sprint triathlons, and all the pool sessions between, the elasticity of the first one finally began to give (I felt it had a pretty good life). I find that the suit fits nice and snug around my front, while still allowing a good range of motion at the shoulders and hips. Plus, the suits come in nice colors whose pattern makes me feel like I have a waist! Definitely worth the purchase.
I am satisfied, but not excited.
running chameleon
from Springfield, VA
on 8/24/2014
I am in between sizes so I purchased both the 36 and the 38. The 36 is too small. My top measurements are a 38 and my bottom are 36-so when you order-order the larger size. I am a new exercise swimmer. I am not happy with the modesty coverage (show through). I am not a competition swimmer not showing is more important to me then speed. I am disappointed in the design and it is ok, but not so exciting. I am keeping it because it is too inconvenient to return things, but I can't say that I would reorder.
Great suit!!!
Swim Mom

My daughter really loves this suit for her swim meets. Her team colors are orange and black and this is perfect. She also said that it is comfortable and fits great.

Good Suit
Annie C.
from Montpelier, VT
on 4/25/2014
Good suit, good fit, good quality. Up to TYR's usual standard, although I have had one poor TYR suit, this one is not it. I wish they would keep their quality standard throughout all their suits.
I only wear TYR because of its quality
Amanda S.
from Marlborough, MA
on 12/27/2013
As a swim instructor for the past 10 years, I benefit from a swim suit that covers, even when I have the little children grab at me out of fear; and this suit does that, as well as hold its shape for a good two years. Also, when I soak the suit in cold water with or without using Speedo Swimsuit Cleaner, the color lasts longer.While I was on my college swim team, due to practicing 5-6 times a week, I was replacing my swim suits every year versus every 2 years; but that's to be expected when compared to only having to wear it 1-2 times a week to teach swim lessons.I always order my suits a size smaller because if anything, the fabric in the butt area always seems to stretch out first, mostly because I'm always pulling at the butt area. If I didn't, then it feels like there is too much fabric in the butt area; so I decide to have a tighter suit so that when the fabric does start to stretch, because all bathing suits will stretch with use, it lasts a little bit longer for me.Also, the color you get is the color you see on the website; which is a big plus for me.
Great Suit!!!
Helen L.
from Bremerton, WA
on 10/28/2013
Fits true to size, follow sizing chart and it will fit you as well.!! I love this suit. I have only had it for a few weeks. I hope the color stays for a while. I recommend this suit highly. I am going to stick with this style.
monika s.

I had a cheapo swim suit and once I started using this one, my speed increased dramatically. Also the colored sides are very stylish.
My favorite for swim training
Laura C.
from Houston, TX
on 7/9/2013
This is my absolute favorite suit for swimming laps. I am a triathlete and love the TYR Alliance Splice Diamondfit for both pool swimming and open water swimming. I am athletic but curvy (5"4, 148lbs, 32D) and have struggled to find a suit that keeps my chest secured and also my booty covered. This suit does both and is very comfortable. I have had chafing issues in the past with other brands of swim suits, but it has not been an issue with this TYR suit. I have this suit in multiple colors and absolutely love it!
Color is unflattering
from West Covina, CA
on 5/1/2013
suit fit is not very flattering-the white parts make sides look fatordered in royal blue and white, color is bright and gaudythe sides are a little too bigoverall not a good fit.
Good swim suit for training
from Jackson, MS
on 4/25/2013
I swim 3 days a week, training for triathlons. Just needed a suit to wear for these swims. This one is fine for that. Only had it a couple of weeks so I can't really speak to how well it holds up yet.
from Iowa City, IA
on 4/23/2013
The suit looked like an acceptable fit, but didn't perform in the water for me. The thin straps chaffed my under arms and the middle of the suit bagged out. I am 135 lbs and 5"6", ordered the size 36.
Great fit and comfort.
Maureen M.
from North Bay ON Canda
on 4/12/2013
I love this figure flattering suit. It is true to size and moves as I do with its four way stretch. I can swim laps for an hour without having to adjust it. I have only use it for a few weeks so I can't comment on how well it lasts. It is very comfortable. Super fast delivery to my door in two days.
Love it!
from New Orleans, LA
on 4/3/2013
This is my second suite of the same style. Full coverage in the rear without being restrictive. The burgundy/gold is really fun.
So Far So Good
Trying to Tri
from Colorado
on 2/28/2013
I am 5"8" and 147 lbs. I bought the size 38 which fits me perfectly. I don't like when the body of the suit is short because it tends to dig into my shoulders - not comfy. I've only worn the suit twice (only had it a week), so I can't back up the "Extra Life" claim. The pattern is boring, but I'm in the water more than I'm out of the water - so what do I care about how cute the pattern is - right? I do like the DiamondFit back. My previous suit was a TYR with the MaxFit back, but I think I like this one a little better.

Songwriters Bacharach, David win Gershwin Prize
Early in his career, Bacharach toured as the accompanist and conductor for Marlene Dietrich, and soon after he as writing R&B hits - two opposites in his life, he said.
Most of his writing with David was defined by capturing the sensual side of music. David would usually write the lyrics first and then pass them to Bacharach to set to music because they had to help tell a story, often for film or stage. They produced film scores for "Alfie," "A House is not a Home" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," among others and the musical "Promises, Promises," which won a Grammy and was revived on Broadway in 2010.
Often they were writing songs for the female voice.
"A lot of them deal with the heart and the lonely heart or heartbreak and taping into the romance of music," Bacharach said. "I think you're a sponge in your life. You go through your life and whatever you're exposed to you take in, it gets into your system."
Bacharach just finished touring with symphony orchestras in Australia. He said he was surprised by how many dusty hits of the past that audiences still recognize.
