Week 1, Part
2 ... Connecticut at Michigan, & More
More College Football Picks (and NFL, too)
Connecticut (0-0) at Michigan (0-0) Sept. 4, 3:30, ABC
Here's The Deal … Is this the beginning of the resurrection of Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez or the beginning of the end? It's year three of the Rich Rod era in Ann Arbor, and a combination of poor results and off-field allegations has this experiment teetering on the brink of extinction. The Wolverines have entered the dark ages, going 8-16 over the last two seasons and slipping considerably in the Big Ten pecking order. With so many distractions, neither the coach nor the school can handle a slow start at home. Connecticut arrives riding a wave of optimism and a four-game winning streak, including upsets of Notre Dame in South Bend and South Carolina in the PapaJohns.com Bowl. Head coach Randy Edsall couldn't be on a more opposite career spectrum than Rodriguez, fielding offers for promotions at the end of most seasons. Much like the upset of the Irish last November, this is another opportunity for the Huskies to make a statement to a wider audience that's often unaware of what's been happening in Storrs.
Why Connecticut Might Win: For the Huskies, it's all about the running game, stopping it and establishing it. On offense, Jordan Todman will be looking for his second straight 1,000-yard season, running behind a physical, veteran line. He'll be facing a suspect Michigan defense that was at the crux of last year's season-ending collapse. Defensively, Connecticut perennially does an outstanding job of minimizing damage on the ground. This year's edition is particularly tough in the middle, with tackles Twyon Martin and Kendall Reyes and linebackers Lawrence Wilson and Scott Lutrus. If the Huskies can force enough third-and-long situations, it'll spell problems for an average Wolverine passing game.
Why Michigan Might Win: While the Wolverines struggled vertically in 2009, this could be a nice spot to begin turning things around. Sophomore QB Denard Robinson is an electrifying playmaker in the open field, but he's also an improving passer with access to talented receivers Roy Roundtree, Martavious Odoms, and Junior Hemingway. The Huskies are a little shaky in the secondary and have serious concerns at defensive end, which will give Robinson (or Tate Forcier or Devin Gardner) the time needed to stretch out the defense. Connecticut may not have the same luxury when Michigan stacks the box. QB Zach Frazer has been up-and-down, and his receivers are marginal. If Frazer can't open things up a little, it'll allow the Wolverines to press up Obi Ezeh, Craig Roh, and Jonas Mouton to stop Todman.
What To Watch Out For: You think Edsall smells blood in the water now that Rodriguez is in obvious peril? Edsall is 0-4 in this head-to-head coaching match up, losing by a combined 179-64 from 2004-07 when both were in the Big East. The last time Connecticut and West Virginia met, the Huskies were embarrassed, 66-21. You have to believe Edsall would love breaking through in a spot that's garnering so much national attention.
What Will Happen: Why not? Last season's finish has Connecticut confident, feeling it has everything to gain and nothing to lose on Saturday. Michigan, on the other hand, will be tight, knowing it's already in must-win territory. Yes, the Big House is still a tough venue, but the Huskies' ability to control the clock with Todman and limit big plays on defense will provide the fuel for a mild upset and more agony for Rodriguez.

Towson (0-0) at Indiana (0-0) Sept. 2, 7:30 BTN
Here's The Deal … Indiana always needs as many tune up games as it can get to pad the record, and fattening up on Towson, followed up by an open date, will be a nice way to ease the way into … Western Kentucky?! The Hoosiers have the potential to put up big offensive numbers, and they should be able to put on a show against the Tigers, who will struggle to avoid the Colonial Athletic Association basement. This is a game for the Hoosier offense to find its timing, get the high-powered passing game rolling, and treat the IU fans to a nice, easy layup to start out the season.
Why Towson Might Win: If the Tigers can figure out their quarterback situation, they should be able to light up a mediocre IU secondary. Three starters have to be replaced and it's looking for help from everywhere. It's a patchwork group going into the fall, and there could be several changes in the rotation before the right combination is found. Towson might not have a big-time passing attack, finishing 101st in the FCS last year, and with quarterback issues going into this season, but there might be a few chances to bomb away to stay in the game.
On the other side of the ball, the defense gets a
big break with IU star WR Tandon Doss out with a
groin injury.
Why Indiana Might Win: The Tigers are trying to find a quarterback. After missing most of last year with a knee injury, sophomore Peter Athens could end up being the best option, but veteran Bart Blanchard is still in the mix. It doesn't really matter; the offense won't be nearly good enough to keep up the pace. The Towson defense might be aggressive and could get into the backfield from time to time, but the line will give up yards in chunks and the secondary can be dinked and dunked on to death.
What To Watch Out For: Last year, the question was whether or not IU QB Ben Chappell could handle the full-time workload. Now the goal is to get everything rocking at a higher level with one of Big Ten's best under-the-radar units, the receiving corps, certain to come up with a big year. It all starts this week as Chappell needs to show right away that IU's offense needs to be something to fear with a big performance against a bad defense. This is also the game to get Darius Willis and the ground game going right away. Never healthy last year, now the star running back is ready to roll and should get 100 yards without much of a problem.
What Will Happen: Indiana struggled to get by Eastern Kentucky in last year's opener 19-13, but there won't be the same issues this season. Towson will put a few points on the board, but the Hoosiers will crank out over 500 yards of offense in good scrimmage. Everything will be clicking for the IU attack by the second quarter.
CFN Prediction: Indiana 52 … Towson 17 … Line: No Line

Marshall (0-0) at Ohio State (0-0) Sept. 2, 7:30 ET, Big Ten Network
Here's The Deal … Despite operating in neighboring states and being separated by just 140 highway miles, Ohio State and Marshall will be meeting for just the second time ever. The Buckeyes begin the season on the short list of national championship contenders, trotting out a veteran team with a Heisman candidate at quarterback and a Rose Bowl win in the rear view mirror. With a visit from Miami in the on-deck circle, they need to use this opener wisely, smoothing out any wrinkles that have surfaced in the offseason. For the Herd, the trip to Columbus marks the beginning of the Doc Holliday era in Huntington. A once-dominant mid-major, the program fell on hard times under former Buckeye assistant Mark Snyder, losing at least six games in each of the last six years. Holliday brings a new energy and outlook, but then again, the same thing was said about Snyder when he succeeded Bob Pruett.
Why Marshall Might Win: By the Conference USA measuring stick, the Herd has a feisty veteran defense, especially in the front seven. The combination of Michael Janac and Vinny Curry along the defensive line and Mario Harvey and Kellen Harris at linebacker allow Marshall to hold the line of scrimmage and keep the ball in front of it. Even as QB Terrelle Pryor continues to evolve for the Buckeyes, the passing game can still be spotty and the offense needs to become more efficient for all four quarters.
Why Ohio State Might Win: After ranking among the nation's leaders a year ago, there are no signs of retreat for the Buckeye defense. In fact, this could wind up being one of the stingiest of the Jim Tressel era, which is saying a mouthful. While not quite a finished product, Ohio State remains nasty with Cameron Heyward up front, Ross Homan and Brian Rolle at linebacker, and the return of three starting defensive backs. Running on this group won't happen, which means it'll be up to the sketchy and turnover-prone Marshall quarterbacks to keep drives alive. Don't count on it.
What To Watch Out For: If it's true that the Buckeyes want to open things up a little more in the passing game, it'll mean an expanded role for receivers DeVier Posey and Dane Sanzenbacher and TE Jake Stoneburner. Posey and Sanzenbacher were last year's top two pass-catchers, and will be facing an average Herd secondary moving forward without top cover guy DeQuan Bembry.
What Will Happen: With a visit from the Hurricanes looming large, don't expect Ohio State to unveil the entire playbook for Marshall. It won't be necessary. The Buckeyes will out muscle the Herd, draping it on defense and getting more than enough production from Pryor and RB Brandon Saine to put this one out of reach before halftime.
CFN Prediction: Ohio State 35 … Marshall 9 … Line: Ohio State -28.5

Minnesota (0-0) at Middle Tennessee (0-0) Sept. 2, 7:30, ESPNU
Here's The Deal … There's a good chance this could be the best Big Ten game of the opening weekend if the Blue Raiders can rally past the adversity of losing its star. Middle Tennessee is coming off a ten-win season and is on a seven-game winning streak going back to last year and were able to beat Maryland while losing to Mississippi State and Clemson, and to start off 2010, getting a win over a BCS Conference team would do wonders for the program and the Sun Belt. However, star QB Dwight Dasher is ineligible meaning the rest of the team will have to pick up the slack (more about that in a moment). Minnesota head coach Tim Brewster is already on a hot seat, and the last thing he needs it to start off the season losing to a Sun Belt team, even one that might be the best in the league by a ten-mile wide margin. Even without Dasher, with a fearsome pass rush and just enough athletes to keep up, it's all there for MT to come up with the win, while Minnesota has to establish right away that things have changed since an inconsistent and disappointing 6-7 2009. The Gophers have USC coming up in a few weeks, so anything positive they can do now is a must to avoid a rough start.
Why Minnesota Might Win: The pressure is all on Middle Tennessee. Coming off a huge 2009 and with everyone praising the Blue Raider offense all offseason, the expectations are there to not only play well against a BCS conference team, but win. While the Minnesota defense has a ton of issues and concerns, it should be more aggressive this year and should do a solid job in the takeaway department as the year goes on and gets a huge help with the loss of Dasher. Offensively, the Gophers are loaded with veterans and will hardly have a problem going on the road to start the season.
Why Middle Tennessee Might Win: Blue Raider defensive coordinator Randall McCray knows the Gophers. After spending the last four years at Wisconsin, McCray is just familiar enough with Minnesota to know what the offense is going to try to do and should have his athletic defensive front ready. Yeah, there might be a lot of talk around Minnesota about doing more for the running game, but this game will be all about the passing attack trying to click, and that's going to be hard to do with QB Adam Weber under pressure for most of the game. The Minnesota offensive front should be better than last year, but it's still going to struggle a bit after finishing 113th in the nation in sacks allowed. Middle Tennessee finished sixth in the nation in sacks last season and second in tackles for loss.
What To Watch Out For: Logan Kilgore vs. the Minnesota linebackers. Dasher was suspended indefinitely for accept a loan when he wasn't supposed to, and now it's up to Kilgore, a 6-3, 174-pound bomber from Bakersfield College who throws darts. That means the very, very shaky Gopher linebacking corps will be under fire to keep the gains off the short pass plays to a minimum and keep the yards after the catch to zero. With star defensive back Kim Royston likely out as his injured leg is still healing, the linebackers will have to make most of the big plays.
What Will Happen: Minnesota is fed up, and it's not going to take it anymore. This won't be a thing of beauty as QB Adam Weber will be under pressure for most of the game, but the Gopher offensive front will pound away in the second half as the ground game will come up with one of its best performances in the Brewster era. Kilgore will put up big numbers, but he'll also throw three drive-crushing picks.

Western Michigan (0-0) at Michigan State (0-0) Sept. 4, 12:00, ESPN2, ESPN3.com
Here's The Deal … For those of you fired up for the rematch of last year's 49-14 Michigan State thumping of the Broncos, you have your wish. MSU collapsed to Central Michigan in Game Two of last year, 29-27, so it's not like the MAC can't play in East Lansing, but it would be a total disaster for the Big Ten if this isn't a blowout. Western Michigan is always decent, but this should be a bit of a rebuilding year with no major strengths and without QB Tim Hiller to lead the way. On the flip side, this is the season MSU has to make a big leap forward and rise up from the controversy and suspensions that gutted the team last year. On the outside of the preseason picks to finish in the top three in the Big Ten, the talent level is there to be a contender all season long, and the offense should be among the league's most explosive. If nothing else, there should be plenty of fireworks, this should be a nice test for the mediocre MSU secondary, and this should be a good indication of things to come for both sides. If the Spartans win in a walk, they should be dialed in for the first part of the season, but if they struggle in any way, next week's game against Florida Atlantic will be more than just a tune up for Notre Dame. If WMU can pull off the upset, it's time to get excited with Nicholls State coming up next before the MAC opener against Toledo.
Why Western Michigan Might Win: Bombs away. The MSU pass defense finished 112th in the nation and last in the Big Ten allowing 268 yards per outing even though the pass rush was consistently fantastic. The Broncos didn't exactly take advantage in last year's game with Hiller completing 15-of-37 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown, but in the opener with everyone trying to get their bearings, the chances will be there for new starter, Alex Carder, to open it up a bit and push the ball down the field. This will be a shootout, and WMU is more than equipped to keep up the pace with a receiving corps good enough to put up big numbers and create several big plays.
Why Michigan State Might Win: The MSU secondary might be an issue, but the Broncos have bigger problems. The WMU secondary has been a puzzling disaster over the last few years. There's a ton of talent, athletes to burn, and plenty of options … and no production. Last year, the pass defense gave up 383 yards and three touchdowns while also tearing it up on the ground with 219 yards and four scores. The Spartan passing game should be the star of the Big Ten season, and with five of the top six receivers returning, it should be fun 'n' gun time with at least 300 yards of passing offense. Considering WMU's defensive front doesn't have a great pass rush to rely on, the Spartans should get a huge day from …
What To Watch Out For: QB Kirk Cousins, who has the job all to himself. With Keith Nichol moving from quarterback to receiver in a full-time role, it's up to Cousins to blossom into the leader and the star of the attack, and it starts here. Last year, he was having a decent season and then blew up against the Broncos completing 22-of-25 passes for 353 yards and two touchdowns. WMU knows this and will go all out to generate a little bit of pressure on the junior, but it shouldn't matter. If Cousins can do what he did last year, or come close, the spotlight will be on as one of the potential breakout stars of the first half of the season.
What Will Happen: It's not going to be the disaster that last year's blowout was, but it should still be a show for the Michigan State offense. WMU isn't going to be a pushover and it'll play hard for the first 20 minutes or so, but the balance of the Spartan attack will take over and there will be at least two big home runs hit to put the battle out of reach. However, the storyline after the game might be how the MSU defense allowed 350 yards and struggled a bit too much to get off the field.

Youngstown State (0-0) vs. Penn State (0-0) Sept. 4, 12:00
Here's The Deal … Penn State is going to Alabama next week, so it can be forgiven for a layup to start the season. There's a lot of tuning up to be done with a new quarterback, a new starting linebacking corps, and the need to find more pop and explosion to an offense that sputtered and coughed against the defenses with a pulse. Youngstown State will hardly provide much more than a speed bump with a mediocre team returning that should finish in the middle of the Missouri Valley Conference pack, but new head coach Eric Wolford has some decent parts to play around with and an offense that should be able to throw the ball a little bit.
Why Youngstown State Might Win: Is Penn State going to be sharp with a new starting quarterback? The offense that was full of veterans last year, and led by sixth-year quarterback Daryll Clark, only cranked 28.25 points per game and didn't obliterate enough inferior teams with the 52-3 drubbing of Eastern Illinois the one true uggo in a non-conference slate full of yawners. It's not like Penn State had any problem with Akron or Temple, but the attack wasn't quite as sharp as it should've been. Before going to Tuscaloosa, this game is about finding what works, and it might not always be pretty. However …
Why Penn State Might Win: If the PSU passing game is going to click, it could happen right away. The Penguins were decent against the pass last year, but there are several big changes in the secondary and the defensive front has to find some semblance of a pass rush after finishing 100th in the FCS in sacks and 115th in tackles for loss. The Nittany Lion offensive line is looking to make a splash right away after a mediocre 2009, and it's going to go full-out knowing it has to be ready for the Tide defensive front next week. No one in the Penn State backfield will be touched.
What To Watch Out For: YSU has some quarterback issues with Kurt Hess finally taking over the starting quarterback job over Marc Kanetsky late this summer, but the focus will be on the Penn State situation that's still up in the air. Kevin Newsome has all the tools and all the talent to grow into the star of the show, but he hasn't played up to his talent in practices and has left the job open. Matt McGloin is a former walk-on with just enough athleticism to get some playing time, but he has had a nasty habit of giving the ball to the defense way too often in practices. In a game like this, everyone should get a chance to show what they can do in a tryout to see who gets the call against Bama.
What Will Happen: The Penn State quarterback situation won't matter much with the offensive line taking control right away and the ground game barreling for at least 250 yards. Evan Royster will crank out 100 yards in the first half and the outcome will be decided after the first two drives.

Blazing tempos, outlaw attitude, foot-stomping intensity, acoustic wizardry. These things all accurately describe Grandpa's Cough Medicine's tongue in cheek approach to bluegrass music. Carving out a niche that is all their own, they include humor and dark subject matter in their lyrics, yet are fully capable of letting their musicianship do the talking with instrumental compositions. The trio's seemingly simple combination of flat-picked guitar, Scruggs style banjo, upright bass and two vocals creates a sound so huge, that it can make a six piece band blush. Their first CD "Jailbird Blues" was lauded in their hometown of Jacksonville, FL as one of the "Top Ten Local Albums of 2011″, and their second album "The Murder Chord" was released in August of 2012 to high acclaim. They were the top-voted music act in 2014's One Spark festival in Jacksonville, garnering lots of publicity and a check for over $11,500. This money was used to record their third album "180 Proof", which was released February, 6th 2015 and features guest spots from Jason Carter, Aaron Till, Randy Kohrs, Isaac Corbitt and Hank Williams III.
Brett Bass – Guitar, Dobro, Vocals
The founding member of GCM, Brett Bass was inspired to play guitar at age 11 when he heard the guitar solo in Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train". He immersed himself into the world of heavy metal electric guitar playing, practicing for hours a day. It was at age 17 that he was bitten by the acoustic bug, hearing how bluegrass pickers were just as fast and technical as his favorite metal players. He began learning how to sing and play Johnny Cash songs, as well as how to pick bluegrass fiddle tunes. The first songs he ever wrote (Many of which are on "Jailbird Blues") came out in the country/bluegrass style, so he ran with it. The playing of his favorite bluegrass flat pickers, such as: Doc Watson, Bryan Sutton and Larry Keel became his new guitar inspiration, absorbing their styles through albums and instructional DVDs. Brett's pickin' buddies call him "Turbo" and his songwriting reflects the influence of the decidedly darker subject matter found in heavy metal music.
Mike "Banjo Boy" Coker – Banjo
Mike Coker had a revelation at age 11, when he heard banjo legend Earl Scruggs playing the theme to "The Beverly Hillbillies" on TV. He told his father that day, that he wanted to play the banjo. He received his first 5-string and began taking lessons in traditional, Scruggs style banjo. He played in a youth band for several years and fatefully ran into Brett one day at a bluegrass jam. They began jamming, collaborating and writing songs, until he was brought into the band. Mikey's stellar playing and youth earned him the nickname "Banjo Boy". Mikey's presence in the band greatly influenced GCM's playing, causing them to go faster than ever before.
Jon Murphy – Upright Bass, Vocals
Jon Murphy graduated from the University of Arizona, with a minor in music. His musical experience includes playing cello as a teenager, singing in the Tuscon Opera, playing guitar and bass in several different types of bands and he's released a solo folk album independently. One day he answered a craigslist ad that said "Outlaw country band seeking members" and after one practice, joined GCM. Originally he played electric bass. As the band started heading more and more towards bluegrass, he bought an upright and taught himself to play it. He has put the time and dedication into being a rock solid bluegrass bassist, singer and songwriter.

Viewing All
WHAT is up with the fit of this jacket, Mountain Hardwear? Another reviewer complained of tight shoulders. I'm 5'2'' and 115 pounds and ordered a small. It fit well everywhere except the arms. The jacket literally could've fit two of my arms in it. That was a huge disappointment, because otherwise this was a really nice coat. It hits just above the knees, the long back makes sure that your butt is covered even when you sit down, and the fleece lining is amazing. Unlike some other jackets, this one found the right balance between being warm but not making you look like a marshmallow. But that fit. Sigh.
The front length was too, short. I wasn't looking for a mullet in my coat choice. I knew the parka's front was shorter than the front, but until I tried it on I couldn't tell if I would like it or not. It was just too, much party in the front for me. The sleeves were another issue. The shoulders were overly tight and then the cuffs were not tight at all (cold air would have totally blown up my arm). I am not a swimmer nor a body builder so I know my body build isn't the issue. I love Mountain Hardwear, but this time it just didn't work for me.
My wife loves the length and warmth of this lightweight down jacket. Works equally great when we are out snowshoeing or just going to and from work and around town. Good value for the price, high quality and should last a long time.

CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TriCore Reference Laboratories and Life Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: LIFE) have signed an agreement to establish TriCore as a regional Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Center of Excellence. The partnership is part of Life's initiative to establish a global alliance comprised of leading centers capable of running the most-advanced, NGS-based oncology panels for clinical research.
TriCore has entered the agreement in collaboration with the Pathology Department of the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, with which it already shares several initiatives. As a Life Technologies NGS Center of Excellence, TriCore will provide Life's most-advanced NGS Oncology Panels to clinical researchers in oncology. The panels are designed to identify genetic mutations in research samples that can serve as potential drug targets suitable for further studies.
"This alliance fits with TriCore's commitment to oncology services and will allow us to provide greater value to our clients," said Michael Crossey, M.D., Ph.D., TriCore's interim CEO and executive medical director. "The results we generate through next-generation sequencing will be used to elucidate new drug targets with the potential to guide therapeutic options more efficiently in the future."
By establishing an alliance of NGS Centers of Excellence, Life Technologies expects to spur a global collaborative effort among its members to further advance screening methods in clinical research samples.
"TriCore has a history of leadership in oncology that is fueled by its forward-thinking approach to advanced technology adoption, such as the use of AmpliSeq panels and Ion Torrent sequencing for cancer research," said

On the coast of south east Northumberland lies the port town of Blyth. A town which grew up around the port which dates back to the 12th century, Blyth was built upon the industrious earnings of shipbuilding, as well as fishing, and coal mining. As such industries went into decline, so too did Blyth, but with recent developments in the town centre as well as at the Quayside this is a town with a much brighter future than once envisioned for it.
21.4% of all employment in the area is still accounted for by manufacturing a figure far greater than that of the national average. Redevelopment has occurred in a variety of forms in Blyth. From the revitalisation project on the Quayside, to the Keel Row shopping centre in town, and most crucially the sustainable energy efforts which have put the town on the map as a leader in clean energy. Former shipyards have been transformed into wind farms which provide clean energy for over 5,000 homes as well as significant employment opportunities. There is even an off-shore wind farm and further research and development projects in the area, making Blyth a centre for clean energy research.
The majority of employment in the area comes from the service industries, with 26.9% accounted for by Distribution, Hotels, and Food, and 25% by Public Administration, Health, and Education. The shopping centre, in particular has been a major factor and contributor to the rejuvenation of the town employing a large number of staff. Job opportunities will be advertised through specialist recruitment agencies who know the area as well as the specialist industries which are based in and around Blyth.

Project Time Management: The Foundation For Effective Resource Management
Date Added: Feb 2009
Format: PDF
According to a 2008 Gartner report, 15% of all projects failed because of high cost variance, while 18% were unsuccessful because they were substantially late. Because technology projects involve the management of human resources in order to accomplish the target schedule, cost, and quality, it is reasonable to assume that poor resource management is a leading contributor to failure of technology projects. In this paper the authors present project time management as a foundation for good resource management.

Three people with ties to the Northeast Kingdom recount their experiences during and after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. To read their stories and see photos, pick up Wednesday's edition of The Newport Daily Express for Sept. 11, 2013.
After years of being on the losing end of games against the Missisquoi Valley Union Thunderbirds, the North Country Falcon field hockey team defeated the T-birds 4-1 on Monday afternoon to improve their record to 1-0-1.
"This win feels amazing," said NCU coach Chantelle Bouchard. "We have come so close in the past, and after losing to them in the play-offs the last two years, this win means a lot to both me, and all of the girls on the team."
It was a much different MVU team that the Falcons faced on Monday, as the T-Birds lost 12 seniors from last year due to graduation.

DERBY LINE - Derby Line officials get together regularly for private meetings with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to discuss issues in the community, however those meetings are not open for the public per CBP request. One trustee at a time meets in order to avoid a quorum. Derby Line Trustee Chairman Keith Beadle met with CBP last Wednesday. The discussion centered around the port of entry on Interstate 91 in Derby Line.

Great place to stay, it's just gorgeous . The staff is so friendly all the time and i felt really welcome. The only problem is the location. It's at the end of a hill, and as a girl i felt totally unprotected to walk all the way there at night. There's just a couple of things around and almost nobody. Besides it, thats one of the best places you can be.

I believe it is the best place you could ever get. it isnt that central, but you can find a 3 min walk tube station. the staff was so friendly and helpful, the beds were big and the bar on the first floor is just the best place to know new people. the only problem is that their lockers arent big, just a normal size backpack, but after two days i saw that was ok to leave my things at the room. recommend it 100%

Sensory Properties of Optical Isomers
By: Mans H. Boelens, Harrie Boelens and Leo J. van…
It has long been known that optically active stereoisomers—optical antipodes or enantiomers—can have different sensory qualities. The most illustrative examples of this phenomenon are the enantiomers of carvone and menthol.
Especially during the last decade the interest in the separation and determination of the sensory properties of natural enantiomers has resulted in a large number of publications. This increasing interest was initiated by the development of new chromatographic separation techniques on optically active stationary phases and arose from the need to prove the naturalness of certain enantiomers. Numerous enantiomers have already been isolated and/or synthesized and their sensory properties have been investigated. These sensory properties of the compounds concern their odor qualities and threshold values in certain media. Because the determination of the sensory properties is a rather subjective task due to intra- and inter-individual differences, it is not suprising that some confusion exists about these properties. The sensory properties of a series of volatile enantiomers, which are important in flavors and fragrances, will be discussed in this article.

This cooling effect is far greater than that which could be explained by the cooling induced by the evaporation of a solvent off the skin, such as experienced with ethanol or hexane.

- Blade is a 1998 film starring Wesley Snipes and Stephen Dorff, loosely based on the published stories of the Marvel Comics character Blade. It was directed by Stephen Norrington and written by David S. Goyer. Snipes plays the character of Blade, a half-man, half-vampire superhero vampire hunter who becomes the protector of humans against the vampires. It spawned a sequel, Blade II, released in 2002. A final, second sequel was released, Blade: Trinity, completing the trilogy in December 2004.

Kool Facts N stuffOrigins
The character Blade was created in 1973 for Marvel Comics by writer Marv Wolfman and artist Gene Colan and was a supporting character in the 1970s comic Tomb of Dracula. In the comic, Blade's mother was bitten by a vampire while she was in labor with Blade. Thus, Blade was born with a natural immunity to the effects of vampirism, though he was otherwise human.
Blade can speak Czech, Russian and to a degree the Vampire language, and he has a great deal of knowledge about hunting vampires. He is a master of martial arts (probably a mixture of Karate, Kung Fu and Capoeira like Snipes) and weaponry ranging from his acid-etched titanium sword and glaive to a MAC-10 submachine gun. (See Weaponry of Blade)
Blade is stoic and a man of few words. He is a hardened vampire hunter. Though he is by no means irreverent toward life, and is a protector of humanity, he has only ever killed familiars and vampires, with the former counting to 1182 and the latter innumerable. His closest friend was Whistler, who raised him since he was 13, and he has romantic interests in the Blood Pack's Nyssa Damaskinos in the sequel.

It isn't about loose and limp arms as much as loose wrist. The idea is that if your wrist is loose when you've taken back the racquet and dropped the head down... when you swing forward, the looseness of the wrist combined with the inertia of the weight of the racquet head will cause the racquet head to lag behind the arm as it swings forward.
Eventually, the muscle/tendons/joint within the wrist will be ultra-stretched (think loaded) to the point where it will start to be naturally unloaded like a rubber band. This can bring a great deal of racquet head speed.
I'm not sure how else to describe it. When a baseball pitcher or cricket bowler throws a ball, you have to have the same kind of wrist action.

Susan Millman, 47, behind bars having sex with teenage school boy in her Jeep
Susan Millman, 47, wife of coach firm boss wound up in jail after having sex with a 15-year-old schoolboy in her Jeep. She's contact with the schoolboy on FaceBook and draws him after flashing her breasts on the internet.
She also tempts other schoolboys by using a webcam to try and promising them sex in video shows online.
Susan Millman, 47, sent to prison for 18 months after admitting of two offences of causing the teenage boy to engage in sex with her in her Jeep.
Grimsby Crown Court has banned her working with teen for life. Grimsby Crown Court also ordered o sign on the Sex Offenders' Register for 10 years.
Susan Millman, 47, photos have been posted on a social-networking web site and seen by teenagers. Police became aware when it was informed by an adult and victim was interviewed.
Prosecuting barrister James Byatt said Millman's initial contact with the youth was on Facebook and was of a friendly nature prior to the two offences between September and November 2010 and January and March 2011.
He said: 'She took a caring attitude and he confided in her. He felt he could unburden himself and they had hugs. After rows with his mother he felt he could go to confide in her.
'The nature of the communication changed and it became more sexual. She would comment on his good looks.
'There was a message for him on Facebook every day and texts of a sexual nature were sent. There were so many he asked her to stop it when he was at school.'
Mr Byatt gave details of the first sexual encounter when she picked him up in her Jeep. On another occasion he climbed out of his bedroom window and again she picked him up in the Jeep in which they had intercourse.
Detectives later discovered evidence on a webcam of her revealing herself and making provocative statements to one of the boys.
She was arrested on May 24 and told police the contact had not been sexual – just kisses. She told police: 'He is chatty and bubbly, just like me.'
Mr Byatt said the youth could not consent to having sex and she should have been aware of his emotional development.
Having had contact with his mother in the past, she ought to have realised the boy's vulnerable state, he said.
In a statement on the impact on her son, his mother said there had been upset and he was 'more insecure'.
The statement said the youth felt embarrassed and partly to blame. The defendant, dressed in a blouse and black trousers, sobbed throughout, with her head bowed.
For Millman, Simon Hirst said his client was adamant it was no fault of the teenager.
He said: 'She feels she has let a large number of people down. Her life will never be the same.
'There was no element of planning. She behaved totally inappropriately and she takes total blame.'
Mr Hirst said his client felt low self esteem at the time. Mr Millman went to work at 6.30am, until very late and she gained attention from the youth.
Mr Hirst said: 'The relationship may have compensated for shortcomings in her marriage. She is remorseful and accepts full responsibility.'
Judge David Tremberg told Millman: 'You were in a position of trust. You could not have failed to know that any form of amorous relationship, let alone full sexual relations with a boy 30 years your junior would have been wholly inappropriate and illegal.
'You were prepared to engage him on Facebook, by telephone and texts. At the time you were involved he should have been concentrating at school. He did not need to be distracted.'
He added she had 'willingly' exposed herself to the boys on the internet. Judge Tremberg said the offence had harmed the relationship between the boy and his mother and the custodial sentence would act as a punishment and a deterrent to others.
Following the hearing, investigating officer Detective Sergeant Stewart Watson said: 'Female sex offenders should not be treated any differently. I am satisfied the court has recognised that.'
He said officers at Humberside Police safeguarding team were keen to hear from any other victims: 'I would urge victims of sex offences not to be put off by the justice system. There are support mechanisms in place.'
Millman's husband, who owns a coach company, attended court and was said to be 'standing by his wife', according to her barrister.

Senate Democrats on Wednesday said they would stand by President Obama's call for a five-year freeze on spending while criticizing House Republicans for slashing the budget.
Ahead of a meeting this afternoon at the White House between Obama and Senate Democratic leaders, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said some in his caucus want to go further, hinting that deeper cuts are still possible.
Senate Democrats have yet to show their cards in negotiations with House Republicans and the White House over a spending measure to keep the government funded this year. House Republicans expect to vote this week on a measure cutting current spending by $61 billion, which Obama and Democrats say would hurt the economy.
"The House Republican spending measures would gut our ability to create jobs, they would roll back investments, and make America non-competitive in the future," Schumer said.
But Schumer faces pressure internally from Democrats facing tough re-election campaigns in 2012, such as Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who want to cut spending further than Obama.
A Senate Republican aide ridiculed Senate Democrats for embracing the five-year freeze, which the aide said would do little to reduce the $1.6 trillion federal deficit projected for 2011.
"Everyone in the country is criticizing Obama's budget because it doesn't go far enough, and they're going to embrace the part that locks in the status quo on spending?" said the aide.
Schumer and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.), Majority Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), Schumer, and Conference Secretary Patty Murray (Wash.) are expected to attend this afternoon's White House meeting with Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
Senate Democrats also unveiled their agenda for 2011 at Wednesday's press conference, a month and a half after the start of the new Congress.
They said they wanted to wait until Obama laid out his vision for governing in the State of the Union address and that they had an opportunity to discuss it at a retreat in Charlottesville, Va., last week.
"We deliberately wanted the State of the Union to come first so that the president could lay out the broad framework, and we're now filling in the details," said Schumer.
On the agenda: Reid plans to finish work on the Federal Aviation Administration authorization bill, extend authorization of the Patriot Act and surveillance laws, and then move to a patent reform bill drafted by Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.).
Democrats also plan to focus on a highway bill, expand access to Internet broadband, build an energy efficient smart-grid, help the domestic manufacturing sector and crack down on alleged Chinese currency manipulation.

Juice cleanses may not be harmful, but they also may not be helpful, registered dietitian Tamara Duker Freuman writes. Juice cleanses do not detoxify the body or support optimal organ function, and often make false claims about the health value of allowing the gut to rest from its work of digesting food, she writes.

"He's having a scan.
"Haris, I'm umming and ahhing about whether we need to keep him in and around the building and the same with Mehdi.
"Mehdi has a situation where the Olympic team have a tournament and he's got something like 4-5 games in that tournament, which is something like three weeks.
"That's something I might do – I think it'd be good for him, good for their Olympic team as well."

Sayrim Lake
Last updated by chinatravel at 2015/4/30
Brief Introduction:
If you take a bus from Urmqi to Yili, when the bus arrive at Taer Kansikai mountainous area situates in southwest of Bole County, you will see "the water and the sky blending in one color" Sayrim Lake. Sayrim in Kazak language means wishes. The lake is also called "Santaihaizi".
The lake surface is 2073 meters above sea level and the lake occupies an area of over 450 square kilometers. Sayrim Lake is cold water lake (even in summer when you put your hands into the water, you will feel very cold). Usually the water in the lake is stable and the surroundings of the lake are silent.
Only the sound of wind that flows across the grassland and the slope and the crying of cows and sheep can be heard sometimes. Every year during summer and autumn, the grassland near the lake looks green and all the flowers nearby are in full bloom.
The water in the lake is clean and blue. In distance, snow covered peaks tower aloft. The forest not far looks like a green sea. In the grassland and slopes near the lake tents scatter. The sheep look like drifting clouds. Every year from July 12th to 15th, the people of Mongolian and Kazak there will gather together and hold Nadam Festival. The festival is held to celebrate harvest and pray for harvest the next year. During the festival, many recreational activities will be held such as horse racing, biting sheep, girls' chasing, and wrestling. The programs bring Sayrim Lake life. There are also many fish and flying birds reside in the lake.

According to the European Commission, the annual turnover of the bioeconomy sector in the European Union reaches EUR 2,000 billion, which corresponds to more than 22 million jobs and approximately 9% of the EU workforce. In 2014 the EU is to initiate Horizon 2020, a framework programme in research and innovation in the EU, the results of which are estimated to increase jobs by 130,000 by 2025.
What is bioeconomy?
Bioeconomy can be perceived solely as operations related to the processing of biomass. VTT nonetheless views bioeconomy more widely: as a future industrial sector created out of traditional biomass refining. Characteristic for the operations of the sector are resource efficiency, maximisation of value added, recycling, tight integration into energy production, and a capacity for cross-sector innovation. The bioeconomy framework is formed of the three pillars of sustainability: financial profitability; consideration of the environment; and serving society.
