The Robins' new signing from Huddersfield took the penalty in the 71st minute, awarded after a handball in the Pools penalty area by Peter Hartley, but he lacked composure and his right-footed kick was blazed high over the roof of the stand.
Paolo Di Canio's side had the better chances and looked the most likely to score in a competitive and entertaining encounter.
Miller had the game's first chance after five minutes, shooting straight at goalkeeper Scott Flinders from 20 yards.
Flinders then saved well from Matt Richie after the winger had been picked out at the far post by Raffaele De Vita on the opposite flank.
A heavy touch by Pools' James Poole in the area cost him a chance, but a minute later the home side almost snatched the lead when Evan Horwood's free-kick was met by Steve Howard and the striker's header came back off the post with goalkeeper Wes Foderingham beaten.

"Getting started on your fitness improvement program can make a big difference in your body image right before the holidays" said Dave Krainiak, program director and head coach for Oakland County's Adventure Bootcamps. "We make it really easy for beginners to get started in our program and show quick results."
Bootcamps are currently being scheduled across Oakland County, including Northville, Royal Oak and Rochester Hills. The next Southern Oakland County bootcamps start on October 19 at Oakpointe Church in Novi and spots are already going fast. The Women's Only Bootcamp runs from 5:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. daily and is only $299 for five days a week or $189 for only three days.
"That averages out to less than $15 per session," Krainiak said. "Getting a personal trainer at a local gym can easily cost you $75 or more per session. We also offer a very fun alternative to the boring exercise routine."
Participants at the bootcamp remark that they have seen stronger results from the program, even compared to previous workout routines with personal trainers. Many see a 5-12 pound weight loss, 3 to 5 percent decrease in overall body fat, a 1 to 3 inch decrease in the midsection along with increased endurance and energy.
"Signing up for our next adventure bootcamp is an excellent way to make important fitness progress during National Self Improvement Month," Krainiak said. "It not only helps physical endurance, energy levels, the love life with your partner and even a better body image but it also helps build self esteem."
Bootcamp participants also receive a one hour nutrition seminar, before/after fitness assessments and a free t-shirt as part of the program. Gift certificates are also available for perfect upcoming holiday gifts for loved ones.
For more information on Oakland County's Adventure Bootcamps, or to check out the schedule and register for a session, visit them online at http://www.mibootcamps.com or call 313-247-8533.

Father's day is fast approaching. In fact, it's a little over a week away from today, so if you haven't gotten your old man anything yet, then now is the time to do so before it's too late. Don't give him a tie, a mug, a pen holder, or another one of those nonsensical generic gifts.
He's your dad, for Chrissakes, so you better get him something awesome because you wouldn't be around if he wasn't there to knock your momma up! (Sorry for the mental image!)
And what could be more awesome than presenting him with a climate-controlled box of bacon?
They were thought up by Oscar Mayer and are sold online at SayItWithBacon.com. Pretty apt for their wares, right? There are three sets available. All three include delectable bacon and a little inedible something on the side: a moneyclip for the Commander, bacon cufflinks for the Matador, and a rugged multi-tool for the Woodsman.
As their slogan goes, "Give the world's most tasteful gift!" While I beg to disagree, I would say that these gift sets are a hundred times better than some bath towels.
Gift It: $22 – $28

Telegraphy Collection
Image: Early demonstration morse system
Source: Museum Victoria
Museum Victoria holds a collection of about 230 telegraphy-related objects dating from the middle of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century.
The majority of the objects in the collection are instruments of the Morse type as used in the Victorian telegraph system. These instruments include keys, sounders, registers, relays and switches used for the transmission and reception of messages using Morse code. The earliest of these objects dates from the 1860s. In addition, there are a number of so-called 'ABC' or 'Alphabetical' telegraph instruments, which did not require the use of Morse code by the operator and were used on less busy lines in Victoria.
Other objects in the collection include several needle telegraphs. These instruments relied on successive deflections of a needle or needles to convey coded messages over the telegraph lines. They were not used in the Victorian Government's telegraph system.
Apart from actual telegraph instruments, the collection includes objects such as samples of submarine telegraph cables, telegraph line insulators, government reports on telegraph operations, and examples of telegrams.
The electric telegraph first began operating in Victoria (and Australia) in March 1854 with the opening of the line between Melbourne and Williamstown. The man responsible for bringing the telegraph to Victoria was Samuel Walker McGowan, an Irish-born Canadian. The collection includes several items of McGowan memorabilia, including a plate from his dinner service, a book sent to him by Samuel Morse and the inventor of the Morse telegraph system.

All Cycling
Article posted: 20/12/2012
Nikalas Cook is a freelance writer and coach who works with us at British Cycling developing tips and advice content for the British Cycling website. He writes for a number of publications, including 220 Triathlon and Cycling Plus, reviewing the latest bikes and kit and giving readers training advice.
He's completed numerous cycling challenges including the Trans-Wales MTB stage race, the Fred Whitton, the Raid Pyrenees and both the Paris-Roubaix and Tour of Flanders sportives. Competitively, he likes to combine his cycling with running and has previously won gold in his age-group at the ITU World Long Course Duathlon Championships at Powerman Zofingen.
Five Quick Questions with Nik Cook
When did you start riding?
Nik - Having completed a post-grad degree in Health and Exercise Science, a combination of moving to London, starting work as a personal trainer and creaking knees caused me to retire from rugby and start running. This led to me completing the Marathon des Sables (150-mile race in the Moroccan Sahara) in 2000. This then got me into Adventure Racing and mountain biking, which led to triathlon, duathlon and most forms of cycle sport. So, I've been seriously riding for about ten years now.
What motivates you?
Nik - Racing, both running and cycling, has given me the chance to go to some amazing places and the memory of those trips and the thought of future ones is always a push to get out the door and train.
What in your opinion was the best race of your career?
Nik - The ITU World Long Course Duathlon Championships in Zofingen Switzerland in 2012 where I won gold in the 35-39 Age-group. Training had gone perfectly and I got my pacing and nutrition on the day spot on. It's always a tough day backing up a 10 km first run with a 150 km bike and then a second 30 km run but, until the final 7.5 km, which hurt like hell, it was a dream race.
Who is your hero?
Nik - Sporting wise, probably Chrissie Wellington. She genuinely took her sport to a new level and posted times and results that even ruffled the feathers of her male peers.
What advice would you give to a young rider?
Nik - Don't get pigeon holed as one type of rider and specialise too early. Get experience of any many forms of bike sport as possible as you'll be less likely to burn out or get bored, you'll develop far superior bike handling skills and you'll develop a more robust and less injury prone body.

Gypsy John Cake
|6 , separated
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|All purpose flour
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Dutch process cocoa
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Whipping cream
|1 Pint
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Dark rum
|2 Tablespoon
|Red currant jelly glaze
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Semisweet chocolate
|8 Ounce, broken
|2 1⁄2 Tablespoon
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line 9 inch colander or rounded ovenproof bowl with well-buttered foil.
For cake: Beat yolks with electric mixer in large bowl until pale yellow.
Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating constantly until mixture is almost white and forms a ribbon when dropped from beaters.
Sift flour and cocoa together.
Beat egg whites in another large bowl until stiff peaks form.
Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and beat to stiff meringue.
Pour yolk mixture over whites.
Sift dry ingredients evenly over top.
Gently fold together.
Pour into prepared colander or bowl and bake 15 minutes.
Reduce oven to 325°F and continue baking until cake springs back when lightly touched with fingertip, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Cool in pan on rack 15 minutes.
Carefully invert onto plate and peel off foil (cake will have shrunk considerably).
For filling: Whip cream until soft peaks form.
Combine cocoa and sugar and blend thoroughly into cream.
Using serrated knife, cut 1-inch lid off top of cake.
Carefully hollow out warm cake, leaving 1/2 to 1 inch shell.
Cut scooped pieces into small chunks, transfer to plate and sprinkle with rum.
Let cool completely.
Spread some of whipped cream over bottom of shell and top with some of the rum-soaked cake pieces.
Repeat layering until shell has been refilled and cake is once again a plump dome.
Replace lid.
Brush cake generously with jelly glaze to seal, making sure it covers any cracks.
Let cool before frosting.
For frosting: Heat chocolate over hot water until it just begins to melt.
Remove from heat and whisk in oil.
Slowly pour over entire cake, making sure you have not missed any spots.
Chill until frosting has hardened.
Remove excess frosting from bottom rim of dish.
Carefully loosen cake with large metal spatula and gently transfer it to a serving platter.
Spoon reserved whipped cream into large pastry bag fitted with decorative tip (cream may have to be beaten again to stiffer consistency) and decorate cake as desired.
Refrigerate overnight.
Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before slicing and serving.

This week, I asked my Instagram followers to tell me what their most important items were as stoners. I chose the top twelve and have compiled a list of these items. You know that there's always something you carry with you that you may or may not need in your smoking adventures.
1. Weed
@mellowkittyxo was the first one to name the best essential... Weed. Unless you're risking resin headaches by smoking that left over resin in your glass or the dirty roaches out of your ashtray, weed is definitely a useful staple in the life of the stoner.
2. Bobby Pins/Safety Pins
I thought that I was the only bobby pin freak out there but @stoneysara agrees; bobby pins or safety pins are always a handy item. Use them to quickly clean your bowl or to loosen up charred weed. They're small and easily transported, plus you can buy about a hundred for $1.00 at any store.
3. Lungs Of Steel
We've all come a long way from our first hit. Most of us have been smoking for years so @jamesjay_420's suggestion of iron lungs is a good one. Stoners have incredible lung capacity it seems, blowing out bong hits that could knock over a small child.
4. Hair Ties
This one is based mostly towards the ladies. Every girl (and I'm sure some guys) have almost lit their hair on fire lighting up. @thcme_ always keeps some hair ties handy in case she decides to smoke. Good call!
5. Money
You never know when you're going to need a little extra bud. I don't know if I'm the only one,but I tend to keep a couple extra bucks on me at all times just in case I run out in my travels. @youngkobe619 probably does the same, as this was his suggestion.
6. Lots Of Lighters
I can't tell you how many lighters I've lost over the years. @misshotboxes knows this problem well and has even created lighter cozies to prevent her lighters from vanishing. Of course, we all also know that as soon as you buy a new lighter, seven of them will appear somewhere in your house. Ah... Stoner problems...
Stoners tend to be creative and come up with some really good ideas. @bizzeizze's favorite stoner invention is the BowlBand, which makes passing a piece and a lighter so much easier. Definitely convenient for car smoking, where hands are in short supply.
8. Good Company
@stankyydankyy brings up an excellent point; good company to smoke with is a must have.smoking alone is alright but it's always a comforting feeling to be passing the bowl back and forth, whether is be with old friends or someone new.
9. Video Games
Personally, I prefer games like Super Mario and Pokemon but I see all kind of video games played by stoners on Instagram. @_breighh is a video game lover and brought up this very good idea.
10. Gum
@julius2050 isn't the only person I know that loves chewing gum when high. It prevents cotton mouth and tastes great so why not? Plus, these days, you can get gum in every flavor you can imagine, from peppermint to root beer float.
11. Eye Drops
I personally don't use eye drops (Can't ruin my makeup!) but @geomonstaah and plenty of others carry around a bottle of drops in case of a public encounter. You never know who you're going to run in to over the course of a day so it's a good idea to be prepared.
12. Hempwick
We've already mentioned lighters but for those of us like @dopenerd420 who like a cleaner smoke make sure to keep a roll of Hempwick handy. You can absolutely taste the difference between a lighter and some Hempwick. Pick some up at your local headshop or order from Hempwick directly.
So there you have it. Twelve things that stoners love using to help with their smoking adventures, told to me by stoners themselves. Make sure to check my Instagram for your chance to be mentioned in one of my weekly lists and if you have an idea for a future list, you can email it to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

What To Do About Oregon's Spotted Frog
By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren
More troubles for the spotted frog.
The Klamath County commissioners have voted unanimously against the idea of designating more than 56,000 acres in Oregon as critical habitat for the Oregon spotted frog.
At the same time, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are proposing to list the spotted frog a threatened species.
Klamath County Commissioner Tom Mallams joins us to explain his opposition to the plan.

Latest Marian Hossa Stories
The NHL is studying the 12-year, $62.8 million deal right winger Marian Hossa signed with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Ottawa Sun reported late Thursday that the league is trying to determine if the deal Hossa signed on July 1 circumvents the collective bargaining agreement and salary cap. The National Hockey League wants to know whether if Chicago discussed the possibility that Hossa, 30, would retire before the contract expires, which would end the salary cap hit, The Chicago Tribune said....
Detroit's Marian Hossa and Henrik Zetterberg each scored twice and the Red Wings ripped Chicago 6-1 Sunday for a 3-1 lead in their playoff series. The defending Stanley Cup champion Wings are a win away from returning to the cup series.
Johan Franzen and Marian Hossa scored two goals each Thursday and the Detroit Red Wings evened their conference semifinal series with a 6-3 win over Anaheim. The defending Stanley Cup champion Red Wings ended a two-game losing streak and bounced back from a controversial setback Tuesday to tie the series at 2-2.
Johan Franzen scored with 47 seconds left in the third period Thursday, sending Detroit into the second round of the playoffs with a 6-5 win over Columbus. The Red Wings recorded a four-game sweep of the Blue Jackets, who were making the first playoff appearance in franchise history. Columbus battled to stay alive in the chase for the Stanley Cup by rallying from a 5-3 deficit with a pair of goals late in the second period.
Detroit Red Wings right wing Marian Hossa hopes to return to action in time for the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Detroit News reported Friday. The report said Hossa underwent an MRI Friday for a groin injury suffered in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Nashville Predators and the exam revealed no torn muscle.
Marian Hossa had two goals and an assist Monday to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. Nicklas Lidstrom had a goal and an assist and Brad Stuart also scored for the Red Wings.
Marian Hossa's goal with less than a minute left in the third period Sunday boosted the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Wild. His 38th goal this season was a wrist shot past Minnesota netminder Niklas Backstrom with just 55 seconds left in regulation, severely damaging Minnesota's faint playoff hopes. Detroit led 2-0 early after goals by Jiri Hudler (23) and Pavel Datsyuk (32), on which Hossa had an assist. Minnesota closed to 2-1 before the first period ended when Cal...
Goals by Marian Hossa and Valtteri Filppula in the space of 32 seconds in Tuesday's third period rallied the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 win over Edmonton. Ty Conklin turned in 24 saves for Detroit, which won for the fifth time in its last six games and took over first place in the Western Conference by one point over idle San Jose. Denis Grebeshkov and Ales Kotalik tallied for the host Oilers.
Johan Franzen scored his 30th goal of the season Friday and had two assists as part of an offensive display that gave Detroit a 6-3 win over Atlanta. The high-powered Red Wings won for the fourth straight time and have captured seven out of nine games. Detroit already owned a 3-0 lead when Franzen scored on the power play 7:55 into the third period. Marian Hossa reached 36 goals for the season with a third-period tally and Pavel Datsyuk moved within one of the 30-goal mark with a tally in the...
Chris Osgood made 22 saves Tuesday, posting his first shutout this season and 48th of his NHL career in a 5-0 Detroit whitewash of St.

Weeping In Fits and Starts
Blue Funnel World
Rhubarb Records
For one fleeting, splintering moment early into its 65 minutes, Blue Funnel World, by the Boston-based Weeping In Fits and Starts, makes good on its lofty ambition to act as a "response" to Brian Eno's 1975 ambient-pop masterpiece, Another Green World. The winning moment emerges at the tail end of the second track, "My Mind Is Still Gone and I'm Not Even Fried," when the instrumental that makes up most of the song--a three-minute chunk of uninspired indie-rock jingling--gradually erodes until only the bass remains. It's a classic Enoism straight from Green World--an homage to Eno's knack for building his songs up layer by layer and tearing them down until the song itself sinks into the album's soup of sound.
Before the song's bassline has time to die down, main man Greg Jacobs fades in, howling over his tinny acoustic guitar about how he "can't even hold back this passion I despise," in a floating, autumnal melody that recalls Neutral Milk Hotel or Guided By Voices. And, in reverence to Another Green World's evanescent moments of beauty, Jacobs does not overstate his pathos; his performance vaporizes almost as soon as it has etched itself onto the listener's consciousness.
Brian Eno's midperiod gem Green World and its 1977 followup, Before and After Science, were albums that moved like continental drift, inverting the song-segue-song process of Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper's to create incidental albums on which songs developed out of a mix that sounded like one prolonged segue. In this tradition, Weeping in Fits and Starts seemingly pull "My Mind Is Still Gone..." from thin air and hold it long enough to commit what is a mere twinkling to tape.
Perhaps it appears this way only because once that melody floats away, Blue Funnel World fails to achieve such an effect. While Jacobs and Co. carefully handle many of the album's more atmospheric bits (particularly the crackling keyboard drone that serves as its title track and the pensive "Rest"), only "My Mind Is Still Gone..." and the climactic "Pilot on Plane" work as great pop. And it's no coincidence that Blue Funnel World shines brightest when this guitar band works in the straight, indie-pop idiom. When they get lazy--say, in attempting They Might Be Giants-style satire on "Less Screwed People"--their tribute crumbles, and they remind us just how inimitable Brian Eno's green world really is.

This is just, well, silly. Coaches, or business people, or elementary school kids for that matter, are expected to manage multiple, sometimes conflicting priorities. For instance one of my primary responsibilities is to work to support my family, but I still manage to spend time(too much) on this message board, and do other things, like eat, for instance. I really can't believe how I have to explain how the PNW should be her primary but not exclusive area for recruiting.

Have you even been reading this thread ? Its directed at her becuase she made the quote. And the thread was started(by someone else, not me) because one of her foreign "blue chip" equivalents lost to a 12 year old.I didn't start this thread to call her out. But I don't mind doing it either.

More passive-aggressive stuff, sweet. Imply all you want that I have some secret hidden motive but I think I have been very straight forward. I don't have any interest in University of Washington beyond the interest of the vast majority of tennis parents who are deeply disturbed at the trend in foreign scholarships. My concern is that another top 50 university has for all intents and purposes closed its doors to American tennis players. While there are a significant number of tennis scholarships available for women players, they increasingly being shut out of the best universities by coaches like this.

Texas, EPA fight over regulations grows fierce
HOUSTON A longstanding tit-for-tat between Texas and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over how to regulate pollution has grown fierce in recent months, leaving industry frustrated and allowing some plants and refineries to spew more toxic waste into the air, streams and lakes than what is federally acceptable.
Both sides and conservation groups agree the battle has put the health of Texas residents and the environment at risk. But the back-and-forth over everything from who should issue permits to whether state agencies are properly cracking down on polluters shows no signs of slowing down.
The fight has gotten so ugly that the EPA took the unprecedented step this month of announcing it will directly issue greenhouse gas permits to Texas industries beginning in January after the state openly refused to comply with new federal regulations.
"Emissions are too high, the emissions are too toxic and Texas water is being harmed," said EPA regional director, Al Armendariz.
The EPA is "putting politics ahead of the environmental issues," said Bryan Shaw, chairman of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Texas and the EPA have disagreed for years over pollution regulation, but the hostility intensified recently with Republican Gov. Rick Perry accusing the EPA and the Obama administration of overstepping boundaries and meddling in states' rights. With a more conservative state Legislature about to convene next year, there's appetite to keep up that fight.
The EPA, meanwhile, by flexing its muscles in Texas, may be able to send a message to other states that the days when the agency allowed contentious issues to languish unresolved have ended. Other states have had their differences with the EPA, and at least a dozen have come together in a lawsuit - along with Texas - challenging new greenhouse gas regulations.
All are taking steps in the meantime to comply. Except Texas.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on Wednesday declined to issue a stay that would delay the EPA's plans as Texas' lawsuit against the federal agency moves forward.
A spokeswoman for Perry said he was disappointed with the court's ruling but confident that the state will prevail "in the end."
Then on Thursday, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, accusing the Obama administration of imposing "unilaterally its agenda on the American people," asked a federal appeals court in Washington to block the EPA from taking over greenhouse gas permits starting next week until the court can review the case.
"Once again the federal government is overreaching and improperly intruding upon the state of Texas and its legal rights," Abbott said. "The EPA is both unlawfully commandeering Texas' environmental enforcement program and violating federal laws that give the state and its residents the opportunity to fully participate in the regulatory process."
About 200 Texas facilities continue to operate with air and water permits that are either out of date or have been disapproved by the EPA. The agency believes they are releasing a variety of metals and chemicals into the air and water that would, under the new regulations, no longer be permitted.

MONDAY, Feb. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Women with a history of mental illness do not seem to be at increased risk of readmission to a psychiatric hospital after having an abortion in their first trimester, a new study suggests.
The findings, which appear in the February issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry, support several previous studies showing that women who undergo abortion do not face a higher risk of mental health problems afterwards.
But anti-abortion advocates say the psychological risks of abortion are still not fully understood.
"The take-home message from our study is that having a first-time, first-trimester induced abortion does not influence readmission risk, since risk of readmission is similar before and after the abortion procedure," said study author Dr. Trine Munk-Olsen, an epidemiologist at Aarhus University in Denmark.
Women in this latest study were considered at risk because they had a record of at least one previous admission to an inpatient psychiatric facility. "We speculate that having mental health problems influences women's decision to have an induced abortion, but this decision did not appear to influence the illness course in this group of women," Monk-Olsen said.
Rachel Jones is a senior research associate at the Guttmacher Institute in New York City, which says it works to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights. "This is one more piece of good-quality research showing that there isn't an increased risk of serious mental health problems after abortion. The findings should provide further reassurance that abortion does not cause significant mental health problems," she said.
The researchers used registry information of all women born in Denmark between 1962 and 1992 who had a record of one or more psychiatric admissions at least nine months before either a first-time abortion during the first trimester or ch

Compound walls are being built around protected structures
The historic town of Basavakalyan that was the focal point of the 12th century cultural revolution led by Basaveshwara, is getting a facelift by the Basavakalyan Development Board (BKDB).
The historic city was the capital of the Kalyani Chalukyas who ruled nearly half of India in the 10th century. Scholars such as Someshwara, poet Bilhana of Kashmir and legal expert Vigyaneshwara were in the court of King Vikramaditya VI. Later, the Kalachurya King Bijjala assumed the throne in the 12th century. He appointed Basaveshwara as his Prime Minister. Basaveshwara led a movement that struck at the roots of the social evils such as untouchability and gender discrimination. It is said that he motivated nearly 600 common men and women to become writers. The Government has published over 22,000 Vachanas or writings of over 200 such writers. The BKDB has identified 27 historic sites in and around Basavakalyan. The work of preserving and protecting them is on in full swing. The board has started building compound walls around each protected structure. The use of ancient designs gives the wall an antique look. BKDB sources say building compound walls was essential to protect the monuments from encroachment. Excavations are on around the structures to look for stones and edicts. A team led by archaeologist K.V. Rao has collected over 50 statues and edicts during excavations in and around the town in the last one year. They are stored in the museum near the Basavakalyan Fort. The museum is being upgraded by building its second floor. The Tripuranta Lake is being cleared of silt and developed. Stones that were probably used to build a temple were found under the lake bed during the work to remove silt. They have been referred to the Archaeological Survey of India for identification and research. The BKDB plans to set up a sound and light show inside the fort about the life of Basaveshwara. The prison inside the fort will be developed into a monument. A landscaped garden will be developed inside the fort.

All Black coach Graham Henry has made 12 changes to his starting XV for the Vodacom Tri-Nations clash with the Springboks at Loftus Versfeld this weekend.
There is no disguising the fact that the line-up has a definite reserve feel to it, especially when one takes a glance at the bench. Nevertheless, the All Blacks team for Saturday still has a formidable look to it.
"We haven't won in South Africa in the last couple of years and if we are going to change that, we need fresh, physically primed players. It has been a long time between drinks and we need all the help we can get," a smiling Henry told reporters at Leriba Lodge in Centurion.
Henry said that the changes to the starting line-up were planned before last weekend's Tri-Nations-clinching win over Australia. "We know every match against South Africa is very physical and we've just come through a tough contest with Australia, so the changes to our starting XV are strategic," he said.
The only players remaining from the team that beat Australia last weekend are inside centre Luke McAlister, flyhalf Dan Carter and flank and captain Richie McCaw, while Mils Muliaina has switched from fullback to outside centre with Leon MacDonald coming in at No 15.
The most notable inclusions are wing Sitiveni Sivivatu, playing his first match in over a year, and South African-born lock Greg Rawlinson.
Forwards coach Steve Hansen said he was sure Rawlinson would not be overawed by the occasion. "It will be a bit emotional for him I'm sure, but he has a good head on him and I'm sure he will do just fine."
"It will be a big physical clash as always. We have a proud history with the Springboks and I can't wait for the game.â€
The All Blacks have all of their 30-man squad in South Africa and will probably rotate the players again for the Test in Rustenburg next weekend.
All Blacks team to play the Springboks on Saturday:
15 Leon MacDonald, 14 Rico Gear, 13 Mils Muliaina, 12 Luke McAlister, 11 Sitiveni Sivivatu, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Piri Weepu; 8 Chris Masoe, 7 Richie McCaw, 6 Reuben Thorne, 5 Ali Williams, 4 Greg Rawlinson, 3 Greg Somerville, 2 Anton Oliver, 1 Neemia Tialata. Replacements: 16 Keven Mealamu, 17 Tony Woodcock, 18 Chris Jack, 19 Jerry Collins, 20 Jimmy Cowan, 21 Sam Tuitupou, 22 Isaia Toeava.

Deep Web Technologies, Inc. Key Developments
Deep Web Technologies expands the functionality of their Explorit Everywhere!(TM) multi-source search solution with a release focused on improving the find ability of the most relevant content for customers with hundreds of information sources that can all be searchable at the same time. For customers, such as Stanford University or UCC (University College of Cork) with several hundred sources that they wanted to search, DWT worked closely with library staff to organize the databases being searched into 8-10 high-level subject categories and 50-100 sub-categories that enable users, particularly ones with multidisciplinary research needs, to focus their search on the subject categories and sub-categories most appropriate to them. DWT also worked closely with library staff to organize the results returned into a number of tabs displayed by document types such as multi-media, data sets, government documents and primary research as well as articles, eBooks and news that are meaningful to the users of Explorit Everywhere!. Unlike out-of-the-box Discovery Services where a library is constrained by the content available to the Discovery Service, DWT works with library staff to select the sources each department library wants to make available to their constituents. Such an effort at one academic library led to adding to the Explorit Everywhere! solution a critical mass of sources in Art, History and Music and other under-represented academic disciplines.
Swets, in partnership with Deep Web Technologies announced the release of the cutting edge SwetsWise Medical Searcher Starter Package. The easy to use application gives doctors, researchers and healthcare professionals direct access to their most trusted content and databases. Its powerful search capabilities help to uncover fast and accurate answers.

This annual event is sponsored by the National Association of People with AIDS to encourage persons at risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection to get tested and learn their status. This year's theme, "It's Better to Know," underscores the importance of being tested for HIV. An estimated 850,000--950,000 persons in the United States are HIV positive, and an estimated one in four are not aware of their infection (1). Persons who know they are infected can benefit from advances in medical care that can prolong their lives, and they can take action to prevent transmission to others.
HIV testing has become easier, more accessible, and less invasive in 2004. One antibody test can provide preliminary results in as little as 20 minutes and can be used in both medical and nonclinical settings (2). A new oral version of that test, approved by the Food and Drug Administration in April, will make getting tested even easier by eliminating the need for a finger-stick blood sample.
Additional information about where to get tested and local events being held to encourage testing among populations at greatest risk (e.g., non-Hispanic blacks, Hispanics, and men who have sex with men) is available at http://www.hivtest.org.

Yesterday, I did a little shopping in search of a few perfect gifts for the holidays. Because even though I have taken up the tradition of giving gifts that do good, I still like to give—and, ahem, receive—the perfect gift. Here are a few items that caught my eye. What I like about these is that they are locally made and unique. Gifts that you probably won't find at Hawaii's ubiquitous ABC stores;-)

|Topics in functional analysis and convex geometry
|Yaskina, Maryna, 1979-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|In this thesis we study different problems in Convex Geometry with the aid of the Fourier Transform and tools of Functional Analysis. In the second chapter we construct an example of a non-intersection body all of whose central sections are intersection bodies. The third chapter is devoted to the study of the geometry of L0. We introduce the definition of embedding of a normed space in L₀, give a characterization of subspaces of L₀ and confirm the place of L₀ in the scale of L[subscript p] spaces. In the fourth chapter we modify the assumptions of the original Busemann-Petty problem in order to obtain the positive answer in all dimensions. Chapter five is focused on L [subscript p]-centroid bodies and generalization of some results of Lutwak and Grinberg, Zhang to [minus] 1 [less than] p [less than] 1.

This new commercial from Gillette starring Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin is completely bizarre. Now maybe if I understood Russian or there were some subtitles, it would seem less strange, but I highly doubt it.Ovechkin got a new deal with Gillette in late 2012 that runs until 2014 and is virtually the same as his old one. The only update is that he can now have facial hair. Previously, he had to be clean shaven at all times until the playoffs, but now he can grow a mustache/facial hair during November in honor of Movember, to raise awareness for Prostate Cancer.I'm assuming there will be more commercials starring Ovechkin coming soon, but hopefully they aren't all this absurd.[Puck Daddy Blog]

TW200 gearing & chain
I went the opposite way from you...Lower gearing with a 58 tooth rear sprocket, DID )-ring chain, stock counter-shaft sprocket. (My bike is the one in "Hacks" under "Yamahamer thread" Nice guy took several pix of my re-built machine.)
The stock chain DOES suck, but if you are willing to keep adjusting as it stretches, use it for awhile and THEN get a better one.
My thought was that if the soft counter-shaft sprocket wasn't worn yet, a new chain & sprocket in the back might help it last longer.
I "think"
that the stock chain size is an oddball one, and when my current sprockets and chain are worn I will try to get larger "common size" chain and custom sprockets.
Of course, if the small DID chain holds-up dragging the hack aroudn there won't be much point in going to a larger pitch chan/sprockets.(Remember to check that you don't have sloppy under-size hub/sprocket bolts like I did.)

PITSBURG – Two young teams took to the court at Franklin Monroe Monday night, but the Jets looked to be the more seasoned team at the start of the contest.
FM jumped all over visiting Twin Valley South, putting up 18 points while holding the Panthers to zero in the first quarter.
Morgan Booher scored eight points in the opener, and Kara Lucas added five points.
"We got off to a real good start," Franklin Monroe girls basketball coach Dave Horner said. "We've been preaching about getting off to a good start no matter who we are playing."
Twin Valley South coach Glen Mabry has had similar conversations with his young squad, but it was an all too familiar start, he said.
"With such a young team, we tend to come out tentative, and I think it's just a lack of confidence," he said.
South with just one senior, five freshmen and a few sophomores and juniors is a lot like Franklin Monroe as two of the younger teams in the conference.
In the second quarter the Panthers were able to generate some offense, scoring eight points while stepping up their defensive effort, holding the Jets to just 10 points.
Franklin Monroe took a 28-18 halftime lead and was led by Kara Lucas with 11 points and 10 from Morgan Booher.
In the third stanza the two teams played it fairly even. Sophomore Morgan Bingham scored five for FM while freshman guards Megan Wright and Sydney Vorhis scored four points each for South, but the Jets held a 37-16 lead.
The Panthers were unable to close the gap in the final stanza as FM rolled to a 50-26 Cross County Conference win.
"Although we are 0-15 on the year, I am pleased with the effort this team has been giving especially over the last couple of games," coach Mabry said.
"Once our girls start getting into the flow of the game they picked up intensity and their defense got better and better. We also started to get more aggressive on the offensive end as our girls got more comfortable," he added.
"We are doing a lot of teaching, and the girls are starting to get it, and that's what you have to do when you have such a young team," he concluded.
As for the Jets they are in a similar situation and coach Horner is starting to see some results from his young squad as well.
"Kara Lucas had a real nice game tonight. We are trying to get her to understand that she is fast and quick and how to use that to get into position to score the basketball," Horner said. "She had a really good first half shooting the ball."
Horner also praised the improvements made by junior forward Emma Baker.
"She is very coachable and working hard to get better. She is very athletic, and we are trying to get her to see the floor better and make basketball plays by using that athletic ability and she is starting to get it."
Franklin Monroe sophomore Morgan Booher led all scorers with 14 points and Kara Lucas added 11 while Megan Wright led Twin Valley South with nine points.
Franklin Monroe improves to 4-12 overall and 3-5 in the CCC and hosts Tri-Village on Thursday.
Score by quarters:
Individual scoring:

Emma Baker 6, Morgan Byers 2, Morgan Bingham 5, Kara Lucas 11, Kristin Stryker 4, Morgan Booher 14, Cori Jeffers 6, Emilee Morris 3 - Total 50

Children's LiteratureHang on tightly to your Brothers Grimm! Goldilocks morphs into Medusa—the hip teen variety—in Neal Shusterman's latest addition to his "Dark Fusion" series of updated fairytales. On his fifteenth birthday, Parker (aka "Baby Baer") finds his new neighbor Tara sleeping in his bed. After also wrecking the calibrations on his father's ergonomic chair and eating his little sister's favorite cereal, the connection is obvious— too bad this Goldilocks's tresses are closer to writhing snakes. With the aplomb of a teenage goddess, Tara soon takes over Parker and his private school. When kids begin turning into statues, Parker has to take a stand. Shusterman has a gothic-quirky, Stephen Kingish-sort of mindset that he lets loose with glee. He delivers, too, creating genuine chills up the spine for all those young readers who cut their eye-teeth on R.L. Stine. 2005, Dutton Children's Books, Ages 10 to 14.

Critical Essay by Katha Pollitt
Like the Victorians, we consider certain subjects fit for fiction and others too hot to handle. Unlike the Victorians, however, we don't know we think that—we're too busy congratulating ourselves on our sexual frankness to see that there might be other sorts of blindness and prudery. Nowhere is this more clearly demonstrated than in the contemporary short story. Anyone browsing among a recent year's worth of American magazines might reasonably conclude that short fiction is by definition a medium in which white middle-class writers express elegiac and seemly sentiments about such noncontroversial topics as divorce and the deaths of relatives and that when those same writers want to talk about what is really on their minds they turn to journalism—as have, many think, their readers.
For this reason I...

A different Marvin getting attention on Bengals
A different Marvin is getting the attention in Cincinnati.
And how could he not? Marvin Jones set a Bengals record with his four touchdown catches during a 49-9 win over the Jets on Sunday, moving ahead of such Cincinnati luminaries as Isaac Curtis, Cris Collinsworth, Carl Pickens, Eddie Brown and Chad Johnson.
His game was that good. And that promising: Cincinnati (6-2) is in control of the AFC North and on track for a third straight playoff appearance, which would be another franchise first.
''We're an offense that's evolving,'' left tackle Andrew Whitworth said.
Nobody's evolving faster than Jones, who was known for his speed when the Bengals drafted him in the fifth round out of California in 2012. He went through the usual rookie growing pains and suffered a knee injury that sidelined him for four games.
He moved into the starting lineup near the end of the season and finished with 18 catches for 201 yards and one touchdown overall - nothing there to suggest he was the answer to the Bengals' overriding question.
Who could complement All-Pro receiver A.J. Green? On Sunday, Jones did things that Green has never come close to managing.
''It was unbelievable,'' Green said. ''I don't think I have scored four touchdowns since high school. That guy is awesome.''
Jones has evolved from a speed-based receiver to one who can make the tough catch while closely guarded. He had a sensational catch for a touchdown during a 27-24 win at Detroit, landing hard on his left shoulder in the back of the end zone while holding onto the ball.
''He's just Marvin,'' coach Marvin Lewis said. ''Marvin has a lot of ability and great speed. He's tough at the catch and he's showing how tough he truly is.''
Against the Jets, he had three more acrobatic catches in the end zone and turned a short pass into another touchdown by spinning away from tacklers. He also had a 30-yard reception that set up Andy Dalton's other touchdown throw.
Dalton's five touchdown passes were a career high. He's got 11 in the last three games, becoming the first Bengals quarterback with such a run, according to STATS LLC. Six of them have gone to Jones.
''He's had the potential since he's been here,'' Dalton said. ''I think he's just comfortable with everything that we're doing and everything that we're asking him to do.''
The Bengals (6-2) lead the AFC North by 2 1/2 games heading into their game on Thursday night at Miami (3-4), which has lost four straight. The Dolphins will have to worry about more than just guarding Green.
Jones slipped to the fifth round because he wasn't considered a well-rounded receiver. Against the Jets, he did a little bit of everything, catching all types of passes. He had eight receptions for 122 yards, both career highs.
He has used his draft-day status as motivation to become a complete receiver.
''I don't think about that too much, but when somebody mentions it I start thinking about it and I start going back to that day and stuff,'' he said. ''So it does. Every once in a while when I think of it, it does get me a little edgy.''
Green has noticed.
''That guy plays with a chip on his shoulder like no other,'' Green said. ''He got drafted in the fifth round but you turn on the tape and see some of the plays he makes, he's a first-rounder.''
He's the first Bengals receiver to have five touchdown catches in two games since Johnson in 2006, according to STATS. And he now leads the list for touchdown catches in a game.
''When I see people making plays, I want to make plays just as much,'' Jones said. ''That's been in me since I was a young kid. I just wanted to be great.''
NOTES: DE DeQuin Evans returned to practice Monday on a roster exemption. He was suspended for the first eight games for his second violation of the NFL's policy on performance enhancing substances. ... Lewis declined to provide an update on middle linebacker Rey Maualuga's knee injury. Maualuga got his left leg twisted beneath him on Sunday and was taken off the field on a cart. ... Whitworth was noncommittal about whether he'll have a chance to play on Thursday. He aggravated his right knee injury, which was hurt during training camp.

To say that this election cycle has not gone according to plan for Mitch McConnell and the Senate GOP is an understatement. With a large advantage over the Democrats this cycle (only 10 seats to defend against 23 for the Democrats), this looked like a golden opportunity to gain the four seats needed to make McConnell Majority Leader at last. And yet now, with Election Day looming, those dreams have all but turned to ashes, as seemingly nothing has gone right for the GOP's Senate hopes. From Olympia Snowe bailing to Richard Lugar's primary defeat to Todd Akin's idiocy to Tommy Thompson's ongoing implosion to Scott Brown deciding to ape Jesse Helms to the ongoing drag of Mitt Romney atop the ticket, it's been nothing but disaster after disaster for the Senate GOP. At this point, Mitch McConnell must be feeling like Job, wondering what else could go wrong.
Perhaps no Senate race has been more disappointing for the GOP, however, than the Ohio Senate race, where the opportunity to knock off proudly progressive Sen. Sherrod Brown practically had the GOP salivating (especially outside groups like Karl Rove's Crossroads, which have blown more than $10.5 million in attack ads and such against Brown). And yet Brown has proven all but bulletproof to their attacks, currently holding an 8.1% lead in TPM's Poll Tracker average. Certainly Brown's own strengths as a politician are a factor in his lead, as well as the sizable advantage President Obama holds in Ohio. But perhaps the biggest factor is the ongoing blunders and incompetence of his opponent, Josh Mandel.
For someone who was highly touted when he entered the race, the Ohio state treasurer and so-called boy wonder of the state GOP has turned into perhaps the most disappointing GOP candidate this cycle who hasn't uttered a comment about "legitimate rape." His campaign has been one misstep after another, including such gems as FBI investigations over suspect donations, accusations that he misclassified staff as freelancers during his 2010 run for state treasuer to dodge taxes and adapting an bizarre Southern accent for public events more suited to Foghorn Leghorn than a native of Ohio. And then of course there's the little matter that he looks all of 14 years old. (Perhaps voters don't want to vote for a candidate who looks like he still needs his mom to get into R-rated movies.)
Apparently, it's all getting too much for the Boy Blunder. Why else would he be behaving like this?
During his interview with The [Columbus] Dispatch, which included a brief walk from the treasurer's office to a deli on Broad Street and back, Mandel was followed by a political tracker from the American Bridge 21st Century political-action committee, which is dedicated to making video recordings of Republican candidates.Mandel has dodged and run from the media before, but this is the first time that he's ever physically tried to take their stuff. Watch the video of the footage here, where you also get this nice summation of the incident:
The tracker followed Mandel into a public elevator in the Rhodes Tower, where Mandel's treasurer's office is located. Mandel apporached the tracker, called him loudly by name, and at one point grabbed the monopod attached to the tracker's camera.
The tracker said "please don't," and Mandel relented, asking the tracker "how you been" and "good to see you."
After watching the video below, you will no longer have to wonder how Josh Mandel is handling the stress of this year's Senate campaign. The short answer: not well.And the state Democratic party is not giving him any relief, recently sending him a mock birthday gift in the form of a pair of khaki pants to celebrate the multiple "Pants on Fire" honors Politifact has granted him for his numerous fibs on the campaign trail. He declined it, saying he does not accept gifts. (Or does he?) This coming on the heels of a new Brown ad blasting Mandel for hiring staffers and cronies for the state treasurer's office after campaigning against such practices during his 2010 run. That'll raise his stress level even higher.
No, things certainly are not going well for Mandel. Indeed, his campaign can perhaps be the very model of the GOP Senate hopes this election year: Starting off with high hopes and expectations of victory and then slowly crumbling under the weight of miscues, scandals, blunders and poor polling.
Of course, there's still over a month until Election Day. But right now, things look grim. No wonder Mandel's kind of losing it.
