ANCHORAGE — It wasn't easy or pretty, but the Juneau-Douglas boys' basketball team kept its season alive Friday.
The Crimson Bears overcame a dismal first half and survived a late rally to knock off Kodiak 55-49 in a loser-out game at the ASAA/First National Bank Alaska Basketball State Championships at Anchorage's Sullivan Arena.
JDHS, seeded fourth, advanced to the fourth-place game against Wasilla at the University of Alaska Anchorage's Wells Fargo Arena. No. 8 Kodiak was eliminated.
ANCHORAGE — All signs pointed to a much sweeter result.
There were the eight seniors who had been there before. There was the shorthanded opponent, missing two key players because of injury. There was the favorable draw leading up to the final game.
A second consecutive 4A girls' basketball state title was surely in the cards for the Juneau-Douglas Crimson Bears.
But Wasilla had a plan of its own.
ANCHORAGE — The champs aren't ready to move over quite yet. Not after the opening round of the ASAA/First National Bank Alaska Basketball State Championships.
Second-seeded Juneau-Douglas opened defense of its 4A girls' basketball state title by steamrolling No. 7 South Anchorage 60-22 Thursday morning at Anchorage's Sullivan Arena.
Senior Sarah Tarver showed no ill effects from a severely sprained ankle suffered less than two weeks ago, scoring a game-high 14 points on 7 of 14 shooting while pulling down nine rebounds in 19 minutes.
ANCHORAGE — Round 1 of the ASAA/First National Bank Alaska Basketball State Championships hasn't been kind to the Juneau-Douglas boys' basketball team in recent years.
Nothing changed this season.
The Crimson Bears lost in the opening round for the sixth time in six years Thursday, falling 51-45 to North Pole at Anchorage's Sullivan Arena.
Host Juneau-Douglas made quick work of Ketchikan on Wednesday with a 64-30 win in the second round of the 4A girls' bracket of the Region V 3A/4A Basketball Tournament.
The Final Winning Percentage Index released Tuesday has the defending 4A girls' basketball champion Juneau-Douglas second, and the Crimson Bears boys third.
Juneau-Douglas controlled the paint and kept cold-shooting Ketchikan at bay down the stretch for a 53-45 win in Wednesday's second round of the 4A boys' bracket of the Region V 3A/4A Basketball Tournament at JDHS.
It was a first for each of the current coaches on the boys' basketball side of the Southeast Conference, not knowing who won Region V outright on the final night of the regular season. But when it came to tournament seeding, even one of the conference's top team needed a little luck.
Juneau-Douglas and Thunder Mountain girls' basketball teams recognized their graduating athletes during last weekend's senior night ceremonies at each school.
The Juneau-Douglas and Ketchikan boys' basketball teams finished their regular seasons Saturday night with a 44-42 Kings win over the Crimson Bears in Ketchikan on senior night, but the rival squads had to wait until Sunday to see who would be the No. 1 seed come Southeast Conference Tournament time.

After a bad start, Panthers are running late
CHARLOTTE, N.C. The frustration boiled over a day after Halloween nightmare in which the Carolina Panthers' once-vaunted running game managed 25 yards against St. Louis and plummeted to 28th in the league.
"Did you see any holes?" running back Jonathan Stewart asked a reporter.
While it's too late to salvage a lousy season, the running lanes look big these days and the gaudy ground numbers have returned.
Stewart rushed for 137 yards in the Panthers' 19-12 win over Arizona on Sunday. Stewart had 133 a week earlier when Carolina (2-12) rolled up 212 yards rushing against Atlanta. Stewart had 92 and 98 yards in the two games before that after a two-game absence with a concussion.
When Stewart was out, little-used Mike Goodson went for 120 and 100 yards in consecutive games. It's helped the Panthers jump to 12th in the league in rushing even with DeAngelo Williams lost to a season-ending foot injury.
It's not quite 2009's third-ranked run game, but it provides a needed confidence boost for the NFL's worst team.
"I'd say continuity," coach John Fox said Tuesday when asked to explain the resurgence. "We started off a little different without (right tackle Jeff) Otah in the mix. We were looking for a starting right guard even during that time. We had those shuffles. We had a couple shuffles at running back."
It's far too late for Carolina to contend for anything except the No. 1 draft pick, but there's a sense of pride that the thing that defined the Panthers the past two seasons has returned. The Panthers have had to lean on running the ball as rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen and the passing offense rank last in the league.
"I feel like our run game has been pretty good the last month and a half or so," left tackle Jordan Gross said.
Most point to Carolina's revamped offensive line as the reason for the early problems and Otah's sore knee that turned into a season-ending injury.
"That was a huge deal. Otah, he's a game-changing type tackle," center Ryan Kalil said. "You watch some of the things he did last year. Sometimes plays aren't there and he figures out a way to demolish two or three guys and make holes for the running backs. He does some unbelievable things. He was extremely missed at the beginning of the season."
But after Stewart and Williams became the first teammates in NFL history to each rush for more than 1,100 yards last season, the Panthers were still expected to tilt the offense heavily toward the run with inexperienced Matt Moore taking over at quarterback.
Instead, the Panthers didn't have a 100-yard rusher until Week 10 when the backs and line - now also without guard Travelle Wharton (toe) - starting to click.
"I think over the last four or five weeks we've had continuity in both those areas and I think that's why the improvement," Fox said.
Despite two fumbles in the past two weeks, Stewart has returned to his 2009 form to take over the team lead in rushing with 668 yards. He averaged 5.1 yards a carry Sunday, including a 35-yard run.

Discussion in 'Literature' started by Point Given, Jun 6, 2013.
@CooperTFN but eww just look at them they have frog eyes i hate them
To the Diversity thread with you!
Telekinesis, hands down. Only power you need. I mean, think about it-- like easily a third of the granular Force "abilities" are just applied TK. Jump, Pull, Push, Choke, Grip, Levitation, Scratch... the possibilities are endless.
Hmmm interesting question. Well, if I remember right the chief reason I wanted to do it was because at the time (right after the release of Invincible) there was a lot of discussion about when exactly Jacen turned into JINO (Jacen In Name Only, for those not around at the time), with some contending that it was at the beginning of Legacy of the Force, some putting it to the beginning of Dark Nest... and a sizable number of people arguing that Jacen had been mischaracterized starting with Vector Prime, which represented a huge break from the Young Jedi Knights version of Jacen and so Jacen's "fall" in LotF didn't matter because he'd been ruined anyway long before. While I agreed that the Jacen we got in Dark Nest on was a totally different character from the Jacen we'd known before, I strenuously disagreed with the assertion that Jacen's character had been ruined by the NJO series. In fact I thought (and still do) that Jacen's character (along with both his siblings) had actually developed remarkably organically from his birth in The Last Command up through The Unifying Force. So, the thread was ultimately conceived to support this notion, and also to illustrate (for those who disagreed) why Jacen's development post-NJO was not done in a way that made any sense at all. Plus, of course, I wanted to (hopefully) be entertaining, and to share my appreciation of what is probably my single favorite (canon) Star Wars character arc.
As to why I stopped... I guess because it's what I do? It's no secret to those who knew me here or on Wookieepedia that I have a tendency to start out on ambitious projects and then abandon them only partially done. I'm actually not really sure precisely why... I think some combination of perfectionism and procrastination and, um, a tendency toward excessive amounts of anxiety over what should be pretty mundane things? I dunno. Plus I tend (or tended, I'm getting better maybe!) to slip into depressive episodes now and again when I just couldn't be arsed to do much of anything. So yeah I can't quite recall what specifically got in my way in this particular instance but, prrrrobably some combination of the above. I had an attack of the Trips! I was tripping. I dunno.
My feelings on the direction it went in... well I was super grateful to Havac for taking over since, for one, it meant it actually got finished in some capacity, and for two, it meant I got to read and laugh at his take on each book, which trust me is way more fun than laughing at your own writing. If I remember right (it's been a long time since I last read it, and the board move ate it so I can't check back) his approach was a bit different from what I was planning. I had focused mostly on humor for the first several entries because there wasn't a whole lot of characterization to discuss due to Jacen being an infant or a toddler, and Hav continued the more snarky tone where I think I was planning on getting more analytical and 'serious' later on. But it doesn't bother me at all, the thread was a classic owing entirely to Havac (everyone seems to forget that I wrote only, like, four or five entires-- and those were brief and only about Jacen as a little kid! seriously the thread is pretty much entirely Havac's doing) and his recaps were hilarious. So, yeah overall I'm very happy with how it turned out (though I think I get way too much credit for it, which is to say, any at all ).
@Trip 17. If you could live anywhere in the GFFA in any time period, where would it be?
18. What are your favorite quotes? (Fictional/said by real people, etc.)
Trip's a girl who said she wanted telekinesis as her power. The internet will be abuzz...
Also, BTW, I said that Jacen had some falling doctrinal issues as far back as Vector Prime but primarily in Balance Point solely on the basis of those books, not whatsoever on the basis of the gap between YJK and NJO Jacens. Much like I (and others) always maintained Vergere was spouting Sith theology for the most part ("phenomenal cosmic power, itty bitty living space")...
So there!
All I have to say to this is what was the point of Traitor then? Such discussion should of course be taken to an appropriate thread.
Is Dawn of the Jedi that good?
Into the Void is!
Mobile sock of s65horsey
It has some similarity to Legacy, in that I find the world-building to be stronger than the characters, but it's very good, especially given how Volume 2 ends. Not yet read Into The Void.
Yes, yes, yes, a hundred times yes. Lucas botched Bail big-time. So big. He should have been a central character in all three movies, and Obi-Wan should have been shown serving under him. He shouldn't have been a blink-and-you'll-miss-him character whose identity you only know if you visit starwars.com. That is, until he randomly showed up at the end of Act III and Lucas was like "Surprise, he's best friends with Obi-Wan! What, did I forget to mention that?" Seriously, I'll bet that millions of fans saw Episode II and didn't assume that Jimmy Smits was anyone more than another background senator. Those same fans probably still weren't sure who he was until he said "I will take the girl" --- Anakin and Obi-Wan both call him Senator Organa earlier in Ep III, but guess what, Lucas? Casual fans don't know Princess Leia's last name!
i am not sure what you mean by this??
Also lol tbh I wasn't even thinking about you when I mentioned certain people who said Jacen went off the rails after YJK. So there!
Hmm that depends. Am I Force-sensitive? Because in that case I would live on Coruscant, probably like a century or so before the Clone Wars. (Obviously I would be a Jedi, in this scenario.) If I was not Force-sensitive... I think I'd actually still want to grow up on Coruscant but I'd want to be like a tramp freighter captain or something as an adult. You know, see the galaxy and all. And in this case I think I'd want to be born... probably sometime a bit before the Clone Wars.

(yes i realize these are all from star wars and that is sad but i am not a very big quote collector ok so these were all i could dredge up on short notice and i don't want to spend too much longer on this question so whatever)
@Trip 19. What are some of your favorite foods? Any favorite alcoholic beverages?
20. What would you do if you won the lottery?
ummm lobster crab pasta steak pizza fried calamari garlic bread club sandwiches shrimp egg noodles with like butter and parmesan cheese and dill and oregano mixed in barbecue (pulled pork) caesar salad aaaaaand waffles.
and I do not drink alcohol sadly so I have no idea.
Well for starters I would probably try and collect it anonymously and if I couldn't I would try and figure out how to go into hiding or something, because secretly having a ****load of money is rad but being a lottery winner is hella lame. Then... I dunno. Either I'd hide it all away in multiple savings accounts I could draw from or I would invest it? Whichever's safer/more efficient long term. (I do not know much about financial stuff.) The idea though would be that I could draw from it for the rest of my life, hopefully, and not like have to work if I didn't want to. And then... I would go back to school probably (somewhere absurdly expensive like Columbia or whatever because hey why not) so I can finish that while still in my twenties, and then I dunno. I guess I'd figure it out from there. Probably graduate with a degree in something appropriately frivolous (but awesome) like medieval lit and then, spend my thirties aimlessly wandering the world? With money to ease my way? And maybe I would meet some awesome guy in my travels and then we could settle down afterward and be rich somewhere cool and I could be like a professor or an artist or a writer or something. Or all three! And heck maybe I would even have adopted some wayward orphan or something along the way, not like from an agency because that's sketchy but like idk some adorable scamp who helped us out of a sticky situation (involving menacing but ultimately hapless narcotraffickers or something?) and then when we were about to part ways I was like "hey kid... where you off to" and then s/he was like "well I guess nowhere miss, I don't got a home" and then my hypothetical boyfriend and I share a significant look and I go, "well... we were just thinking, we've got a long walk back to our hostel and this bag here is heavy..." and the kid grins slyly as s/he realizes what we mean and so I give him/her the bag (which is not actually heavy of course I was just saying that) to carry and we start walking slowly back toward the hostel as the sun sets behind us, THE END
also i would buy a ps3 so i could play The Last of Us because that game looks so super amazing but I am poor and I do not have any money to buy a ps3 just to play this one game.
@Trip 21. What's the funniest thing you've ever seen/done?
22. How would you survive in a Zombie Apocalypse?
There are Craigslist ads that start off this way...
... dp!!
a) You knew exactly what I meant, and
b) Exactly!
PS - Yes, I'm a bad, bad man and yes I'm going to hell...
oh you
So back when I was in college (the first time) I lived in an apartment with another girl and two guys. The girl (Amy) and one of the guys (Brian) were friends of mine from high school; the second guy we met while at school and doesn't come into this story due to being away at the time. So anyway Brian's best friend Chase had come to spend the weekend and the two of them spent some time earlier that day cleaning Brian's shotgun. While they were doing that they cut open some shotgun shells for some reason and poured the gunpowder and BBs out, and then Chase rolled up some masking tape and tucked it into the now-empty shotgun shell, making a nonlethal round. Or something. So anyway later that night the four of us were drinking (well, they were) in our apartment... and then Chase wondered what it would feel like to get shot by the "tape round" and Brian decided to indulge him. So, while Amy and I watched from the couch Brian proceeded to shoot Chase in the back with a ball of masking tape, from a shotgun. It turned out that the primer gunpowder (or whatever it's called) left in the very bottom of the shell was enough to shoot the wad of tape with enough force to leave Chase writhing around on the ground. Which... I'm ashamed to say was pretty hilarious once we determined that he was more or less okay. Especially when he finally got back up and let Brian shoot him a second time...
So anyway in retrospect it was kind of a phenomenally stupid thing to do (alcohol and firearms! bad combination!) but yeah, I'll never forget poor Chase standing there with his face all squinched up waiting for the shot, and then dropping straight down and rolling around making whale noises like Loki after Brian pulled the trigger. Sadly YouTube had only just recently been invented and smartphones were not yet ubiquitous or else I'd be able to just link y'all to video of the incident, which would definitely be funnier than my retelling. Trust me though, it was pretty great.
I mean realistically, I probably wouldn't.
But ok like, in a fantasy scenario I'd make for Fort Monroe, which is close to where I live and pretty much the perfect place to ride out a zombie epidemic:
Oh boy, I knew it would be great as soon as I saw "shotgun". XD
And that's the end of the interview! Give a hand for Trip. We'll continue in a day or so with
In the meantime, the floor is now open for anyone else to ask Trip any questions.
oh jesus
Now, now, the interview hasn't even started yet. Please save your worship for later.
23. Why don't you check your PMs once in a while?
Because I am a very busy person but my publisher still refuses to hire a secretary to help sort through all the fan mail I get.
24. Who are your favorite characters from A Song of Ice and Fire?
25. What specifically would you change about the post-NJO?
26. We all know that Luke is a chair. If you had to describe other major characters as pieces of furniture, what would they be and why?

Special Correspondent
COIMBATORE: The Coimbatore Corporation finally managed on Thursday to convince the Council to approve an increase in the Professional Tax.
After two unsuccessful attempts, the Corporation succeeded in getting an approval for a 25 per cent increase (see table for new tax rates).
In the resolution moved in the Council, the Corporation had proposed that the tax could be raised by 25 per cent or 30 per cent or 35 per cent.
With Property Tax and drinking water consumption charges already having been increased, the parties in the Council opposed the Corporation's contention that a substantial increase was needed to mobilise enough revenue for development works.
The Standing Committee on Finance and Taxation of the Council had passed a resolution at its meeting on November 17, rejecting the proposal for the increase.
It said the increase in the other taxes had already burdened the people. Therefore, instead of raising the Professional Tax rates, the Corporation could identify those who had not been brought into the tax net.
Though restricted to the lowest rate proposed, the 25 per cent increase drew flak from Opposition parties such as the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India (CPI), All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam.
Trouble broke out when the members of these parties walked up to Mayor R. Venkatachalam to register their protest against the increase.
They accused Deputy Mayor N. Karthik of pushing CPI member R. Kalyanasundaram off the dais when the latter objected to the increase.
Government order
The Corporation said the tax had to be raised as per the Government's order that it should be increased once in five years.

One of the first things an attorney does when representing a client in a particular matter is interview witnesses to learn the facts of the case, or have an investigator do such on their behalf. The attorney will almost always document the witness interviews by creating written records of such, or preserve them in another form, such as recordings. When doing so, the attorney may include his/her own comments and thoughts.
What happens when an opposing party in litigation seeks to discover such statements? Are they protected from disclosure by the attorney work product privilege? Or may an opposing party obtain such, by order of the court if necessary?
The answer is not as simple as it may seem.

The Fifth Circuit has held in Asadi v. G.E. Energy (USA), LLC that a whistleblower must provide information to the SEC in order to be protected by the Dodd-Frank anti-retaliation provisions. The reasoning is pretty simple. That's the way the statute defines the term "whistleblower." The Court went as far as to reject the definition of "whistleblower" in the SEC's rules.
We understand this to be the first appellate court decision on the issue. As we have noted, district courts have ruled differently on the issue.

Everyone forgot about this because of EPISODE N?
Kenyan certainly has been using Dageki a good bit, still not as terrible as Bel and Shooti's overuse of their starters. At least Kenyan doesn't rely solely on Dageki, Satoshi probably thought of Hahakomori, a Pokemon I don't think Kenyan has ever seen before as a direct counter to Dageki. In Fight simply is being dodged by the more skinny and agile Hahakomori, not to mention I really love the dodging and how badass he looks. Hahakomori actually went up times 10 points in cool-ness because of this solely. I'm really excited for the battle and it's really gonna be a close-range battle, muscles versus nimbleness, I can't wait.
Also, omg he's dodging with his eyes closed and all smug-like XD We're seeing some nice personality from back when he was a Kurimiru, back when I really really liked him, I wonder if Swarm will activate since he seems to be learning Scissors-Cross? Also, I gotta say, this battle looks much better than anything we've seen from Tsutarja tbh. Although I like her this is just a shining example of how the reserves have their moments that go further than the "main" Pokemon and manage to really be better. I mean when has Tsutarja ever had a super impressive battle like this? Reserve or not this just shows that quality is better than quantity.
Oh and Eevee defeats a Crimgan, pretty impressive given how strong Dragons are, then again Crimgan isn't nearly as made out to be strong as something like Kairyu or Ononokusu. I'm still surprised at how much I prefer the other rivals to Shooti and Bel given they're the main rivals, weird. This makes me wanna go train a Hahakomori in-game.
Like Hikari's Ice Chandelier episodeunless it's written to be entertaining, is boring as crap and it's something that from the episode stated canon should be assumed to be done off-screen.

Whether it's for gaming, multimedia enjoyment, work or all of the above, the Razer Blade is a fantastic choice if you need high performance but don't want to sacrifice mobility to get it.
One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
Scout offers a better feature set, including excellent help for daily commuters, than either Google Maps or Apple Maps, with similarly good route guidance.
Razer's newest gaming laptop trades ultralong battery life for a fantastic screen and even better graphics. It's a trade worth making: this is the best Razer gaming laptop, and the best thin gaming PC anywhere.

On T.P.III we do something similar when we lower the mast;EXCEPT we use the main boom as a lever.I bought a pair of clamps from a
rigger who used to be a logger in the Pacific NorthWest.I attach them to my intermediate and upper stays exactly at the same height above deck as the pivot pin.connect a cable on each side with turnbuckle,aft to backstay chain plate on each side.take a line with small 2 part blocks from end of boom on each side to eye
on clamp. This keeps the boom centered.Use
MainSheet to lower mast.Of course I have to disconnect aft lower and split backstays and a few other things,but the 13''6" boom gives me a nice leverage.Our mast is 44'' on the hoist!

2008 PHP Quebec Call for Papers
By Alison Holloway on Sep 19, 2007
The PHP Quebec Conference is happening in Montreal, Canada on 12-14 March 2008. They've put a call out for speakers willing to share their expertise with Canadian and United States PHP professionals.

Case study - Elli's Surgery Holiday In Malaysia
|Sales Representative
|Lower Facelift, Breast Implant (Right), Breast Augmentation and Lift (Left)
|Cost of holiday:
Approximately $11,400, inclusive of surgery, hospital stay, 4-star accommodation for 21 days; all care and transfers on the ground in Malaysia
Elli's surgery turned back the clock at least 20 years and she's never looked better!
The results say it all
I had considered having a facelift for few years but didn't have the courage to do anything about it, until I saw an article in the newspaper about Gorgeous Getaways. I knew the procedure would cost too much in Australia so after much research chose Kuala Lumpur and Dr Nasir as I heard very good reports about him.
Most of my friends told me I didn't need a facelift, however I knew I would like to have "younger" face as I work with people half my age. Also, I had breast cancer 11 years ago and the implant I had received was very uncomfortable so I had that replaced with silicone implant which is so much more natural. My left breast also needed a lift so that was done as well.
The first 2 days after the surgery were not pleasant for me, suffering from nausea and a bit of discomfort but no pain at all. The hospital, Prince Court Medical Centre was like 5-star hotel, much better than hospitals in Australia. Food was fantastic and staff were most helpful.
I stayed at Lanson Place which was lovely and I was well looked after. I can't thank the staff from Gorgeous Getaways enough, especially Jasmine who looked after me so well. I am going back in 3 months to have some dental work done as well at Damansara Heights Dental Centre where I found Dr. Larry Au-Yong most professional.
I recommend Gorgeous Getaways to anyone considering plastic surgery. I can assure you that you will be looked after very well.

It was after school one day when I realized the usual frenzied tone had changed. The girls in my classroom looked worried.
As a journalism teacher, my room doubles as a newsroom, work space, photo studio and home away from home. It is the place where the kids brainstorm, write essays and articles, and -- every once in a while -- solve a few life crises. This was one of those days.
Placing my counselor hat on, I asked what was wrong. One girl's eyes were wide and her face was folded into the saddest frown I'd ever seen. Another seemed just as dejected.

Lunaling Launches New Weight Loss Clothing to Help Women Worldwide Slim Down for Summer
Revoluntionary weight loss clothing company, Lunaling, is now giving women everywhere the chance to add its proven range of garments to their wardrobes, launching an e-commerce site.
London (PRWEB) April 06, 2013
The weight-loss revolution is in full swing and Lunaling are giving women everywhere the chance to add its proven weight loss clothing to their wardrobes by purchasing its products online through new e-commerce site, Lunaling.com.
Lunaling Shorts, Capri´s and Leggings are made using technology proven to help you lose weight during exercise by using your natural body temperature to increase heat around the areas that trouble women most – legs, thighs, tummy and bum – making these trouble spots work harder.
Tested at Brighton University, researchers monitored a group of women who wore Lunaling and then compared the results with a group wore standard exercise clothing during a 30 minute exercise session to gauge physiological responses before, during and after. The results were those that every woman dreams of.
Lunaling increased energy expenditure by 6% during the workout and by 26% percent following the workout. After 30 minutes of exercise, weight loss in a pair of Lunaling Shorts, Capri´s or Leggings was measured to be around four times greater than standard exercise wear!
Though previously exclusive to a select few who tried and tested the product, Lunaling is fast garnering a loyal fan base with women everywhere with consistent rave reviews of the new products.
- "My skin is softer and I´ve lost half an inch so far from around my waist and an inch from my legs — thank you!"
- "Pleased to say these do what they promise! They keep my legs warm (great on cold mornings) and I can really see the difference after five days. I can´t wait to measure myself!"
Hundreds of women have tried and tested the product since Lunaling launched in late 2012, leading the label to organically gain almost 2,000 fans on Facebook.
Using real-time testing to continue to increase their fan base and help women the world over slim down, the fitnesswear label is challenging bloggers from the UK, US and Canada to put the garments through their paces and share honest, real results with their loyal followings.
Harnessing the use of social media, Lunaling also offered 50 every day, real women the chance to take the Lunaling weight loss challenge, giving them Lunaling clothing to test and review before sharing their results with the public after two weeks of wear.
With sizes ranging from small to extra large and prices starting at just £40.00, it´s the perfect weight loss solution helping you slim down and shape up in the lead up to summer.

Rothwell lurking for upset of Velasquez in UFC 104
His highest-profile bout might have been his lowest moment: He was knocked out by Andrei Arlovski on the Affliction promotion's first card. He was slated to fight for Affliction again in Anaheim in August, but he signed with UFC after Affliction collapsed.
The biggest setbacks of Rothwell's career usually have been related to his irrepressible urge to stand in front of his opponents and trade blows – something that's usually a mistake at MMA's highest levels, and even more so against wrestlers with Velasquez's skills. Rothwell insists he's learned from past mistakes and will use a smarter plan, claiming his defense has improved against takedowns by wrestlers such as Velasquez.
"I want to be fighting with the guys that are the names in the UFC," Rothwell said. "You know I want to be a name in the UFC as well, and that's the only way. You've got to be in there fighting the guys that people know, so I'm very excited for the fight."

Rocks are continuously chemically weathered through a reaction with compounds contained in the atmosphere and in rain. As a result, rocks are dissolved, the remaining solid form soils, and continents are undergoing a slow "chemical denudation." To measure the rate of chemical denudation of Earth's surface, geochemists have used the chemical composition of the dissolved load of rivers (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, silica), which transport the products of continental rock weathering to the ocean. Julien Bouchez and colleagues show how, during some weathering reactions, oxygen and hydrogen can also be released from rocks. For other types of reactions, oxygen and hydrogen can be incorporated into soils, partially compensating for chemical denudation. Therefore, oxygen and hydrogen atoms are involved in most chemical weathering reactions and thus influence chemical denudation rates. Presently, the way geochemists measure river chemical composition does not account for this fact.

EUGENE, Ore. -- When it comes to giving your child a head start, new research suggests it s never too soon.
Scientists at the University of Oregon recently produced a DVD to help parents improve their children's brain development. It's called Changing Brains.
You want to do everything you can to be a good mom, said mother Jamie Vineyard.
She and her husband Mark Swick watched the DVD. Now when they watch their two young daughters play, they notice more than their smiles and laughter.
I think of their brains changing and growing and developing, Vineyard said.
It's a process that actually has a name.
It's called neuroplasticity, said Dr. Helen Neville, the head of UO Brain Development Lab, and the brain behind Changing Brains. The brain is like plastic wrap that can change depending on the kind of input it receives.
Through decades of research, Neville found that kids' brain systems are shaped in part by the environments in which they're raised.
We ourselves as neuroscientists knew all this, but then we realized that parents are the people who really need to know this, Neville said.
That's how Changing Brains was born. Neville produced the DVD, which explains how kids' experiences shape brain systems that are important for vision, hearing, language and more.
I've watched the DVD a couple of times and it's been great, just reinforcing good behaviors to have with my daughter, said Mark Swick.
Behaviors as simple as communicating, he said. For example, Swick and his wife don't use baby talk with their kids.
(My daughter's) language has developed really rapidly and I attribute that to talking to her like she understands what we're saying, said Vineyard.
There's a lot of people that don't give their child the credit they deserve for what they can absorb and what they can understand, Swick added.
When it comes to parenting, Neville says consistency is key.
We see parents all the time who go, 'Johnny, I told you not to hit...Whack!' That's not consistent, said Neville, who added that giving kids simple choices also reaps benefits.
Ask your child, 'Do you want to go to bed now, or in 5 minutes? It's your choice.' Little choices like that, show respect for the child, yet give parents control, said Neville.
You're raising the future, said Vineyard and Swick.
It's a tall order, but they feel more prepared for it than ever.
If you can teach them and show them how, and have the patience to talk to them, they can understand almost anything, said Swick.

US troops to remain in South Korea longer
The U.S. has kept combat forces on the Korean Peninsula since the Korean War fighting halted on July 27, 1953, with the signing of an armistice. There are still about 28,000 American troops based in the South. However for years the U.S. has tried to reduce South Korea dependence on the American military by setting a target date for the transfer of authority.

Afghanistan drawdown announced
President Barack Obama has announced that 9800 troops will be left behind next year when all combat troops pull out of Afghanistan. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said in a statement, "I strongly support the president's decision to maintain a limited U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan after our combat mission ends there later this year." Hagel said the move will do two things: "it will help ensure that al-Qaida cannot reconstitute itself in Afghanistan, and it will help us sustain the significant progress we have made in training and equipping the Afghan national security forces."

Latest Mimicry Stories
How two butterfly species have evolved exactly the same striking wing color and pattern has intrigued biologists since Darwin's day.
Dark spots on flower petals are common across many angiosperm plant families and occur on flowers such as some lilies, orchids, and daisies.
A new study reveals the reason why orchids use sexual trickery to lure insect pollinators.
Breaking up may actually not be hard to do, say scientists who've found a population of tropical butterflies that may be on its way to a split into two distinct species.
Travelers to the neotropics—the tropical lands of the Americas—might be forgiven for thinking that all of the colorful insects flittering over sunny puddles or among dense forest understory are butterflies.
Imitation and mimicry have long been an interesting part of human social behavior, but a recent study found that imitation may serve as a way for monkeys to form connections.
Two recently published studies show that some birds, parrots in particular, can "dance" to a musical beat.
Insects mistake buildings, cars and even roads for water, laying eggs that will never hatch and jeopardizing ecosystems, a U.S.
Ads for teenage products that depict sexual behavior blur the lines between what is acceptable and what is not, a U.S. researcher said.
Circular markings on creatures such as butterflies are effective against predators because they are conspicuous features, not because they mimic the eyes of the predators' own enemies

Re: Yikes! Mooring System Failure
It's not a good idea to leave the ball in place during the winter. If you drop the top chain to the bottom, as MaineSail has suggested, it's better for the chain. If it stays hooked up to the ball the top several feet of the chain will wear away faster for two reasons: more O2 in the water to make rust, and the constant motion of the ball moving in wind and swell causes the chain just below the ball to wear faster. Do as MS recommends and drop the top chain into the mud with a line and small bouy attached to facilitate it's recovery in the spring.

Google's crisis response in the Gulf
Google Crisis Response launches a Gulf oil spill crisis page equipped with satellite imagery and breaking video.
Wed, May 05, 2010 at 08:36 PM
Image: Google Earth
Haiti was a proving ground for new technologies that allow people to share and access vital information during times of crisis. Like Ushahidi, which also was deployed in Haiti after the earthquake, Google's Crisis Response — a clearinghouse of satellite imagery, scientific data and video on a single Google map — was used to monitor rescue efforts in Haiti.
Now it is covering the Gulf oil spill through its Crisis Response page. Every day or two, a new Google Earth layer is published so you can watch the extent and movement of the oil spill.
Like Ushahidi, Google is taking a major (though low-profile) step into the realm of crowdsourcing news. Users can upload their videos of the spill or news related to the Gulf oil spill, and the videos are published to a YouTube playlist, making a video record of the disaster and what is being done on the ground to stop it. Here's one from Al Jazeera:
It will be interesting to see how companies like Google and Ushahidi evolve in a world increasingly battered by disasters, both man-made and natural.

This car is BMWs entry level xDrive car using a 2.0l 4 cylinder diesel engine putting out about 143hp. This car is meant for economy first of course and seems to be filling in a gap while BMW awaits the arrival of the X1.
BMWs official Press Release
Quote: Munich. Fascinating agility on all kinds of terrain … CONTINUED
Although the talk has predominantly surrounded the all new X1 model, BMW continues to work on the X3, and judging by the amount of development time being put into this car, it will be a significant step up in quality and design from the current model. Here are some photos of the car testing in cold weather environments.

Here are the photos that are most important to alot of people out there. A direct comparison between the current X3 and the newly redesigned model. Although the car is heavily camoflaged, we can make out the general dimensions and it seems the new car has grown very little compared to the current model, althought it has grown.

For the first time ever, we caught the next generation X3! The current X3 will have to soldier on for a few more years until the arrival of an all-new model slatted for the 2011 model year. Nonetheless, these are the very first spy-shots of Munichs (and Spartanburgs!) compact SUV photographed earlier today.
The new X3s dimensions will hardly change compared with the current one, and its styling will be shaped to reflect elements from the CS Concept. The basic shape will remain much the same, however the new model is … CONTINUED
These are the latest rendering by Huckfeldt of what he thinks the upcoming X1 and X3 redesign could be. These seem to be off-base IMO as they are not inline with BMWs current styling trend
