Production on Starz' 'Spartacus' Six-Part Prequel to Begin This Summer
LOS ANGELES, May 11 /PRNewswire/ — NCTA Cable Show 2010 — Pre-production is underway on a six-part prequel to Starz' hit original series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand."
Andy Whitfield, who played the title character in the series, will appear in the prequel briefly, but Lucy Lawless and John Hannah take center stage in this story of the rise of the House of Batiatus and its champions before Spartacus arrives as a captured Thracian slave. With the title still to be determined, the prequel will begin production this summer in New Zealand, and is slated to air on Starz in January 2011.
John Hannah returns as Batiatus, owner of the Ludus, along with his wife Lucretia, played by Lucy Lawless. Other returning actors include Peter Mensah (Doctore), Manu Bennett (Crixus), Antonio Te Maioha (Barca), Nick E. Tarabay (Ashur), Lesley-Ann Brandt (Naevia) – and others. New characters will also be added – most notably the gladiator who was champion of the House of Batiatus before Spartacus or even Crixus – who will help fill in the story about the people and politics in the House of Batiatus and ancient Capua as a whole.
Production on the second season of "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" was postponed this spring to allow Andy Whitfield to be treated for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in New Zealand. His doctors indicate that the actor is responding well.
"The prequel story maintains the excitement and entertainment value of the first season of 'Spartacus,' giving audiences the engaging experience they've come to expect," said Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht. "We look forward to continuing the Spartacus story."
Produced by Rob Tapert, Sam Raimi, Joshua Donen and Steven S. DeKnight, "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" was the highest rated show for the 18-49 demographic among all cable networks for 12 of the 13 Fridays on which it aired based on coverage rating.* The production team remains intact for the six-part prequel.

In this seminal work, the authors argue that there are distinct local factors that shape the environment of economic development decision-making. These factors, taken together, constitute a community's local civic culture. Using survey and case study data from U.S. and Canadian cities, the authors make the case that different cultures will produce different types of economic development policies, and that local civic culture will effect the whole array of local policies.

Follow @USHealthWorks, tell us why your company should win.
Valencia, CA (Vocus) Jan. 27, 2010 -- U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group, a leading nationwide operator of on-the-job-injury health and urgent care centers, today announced a social media contest for businesses who want to offer an added employee benefit by getting workers vaccinated against H1N1.
"U.S. HealthWorks wants to send our staff to a local business to set up an onsite H1N1 vaccination day and give up to 50 of your employees the H1N1 flu shot…all for free," said Diane Yu, vice president of sales & marketing for U.S. HealthWorks. "All people have to do to enter this contest is tell us why their businesses should win, follow us on Twitter and Re-Tweet the contest to their followers."
"Maybe you're in public safety and employees are exposed to lots of people who could have the virus, but budget cuts prohibit your agency from inoculating workers," Diane Yu continued. "Or maybe you have a retail business and see a lot of foot traffic with potential infected carriers, but just haven't had the time to schedule employees to get their shots."
In order to enter, you must tell us why your workplace should win our Free H1N1 Flu Vaccination Contest, follow us on Twitter at @USHealthWorks, and Re-Tweet our contest at least once before the giveaway ends Feb. 8. Businesses within 20 miles of any of our medical centers that have available vaccine are eligible to win the onsite vaccination clinic. U.S. HealthWorks has centers in the following states: California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, Florida, New Jersey,

In an age of technology where refrigerators can talk to smartphones and cars can parallel park themselves, how are we supposed to unplug? Giving up Facebook or putting down our smart phones seems just about impossible given the amount of connectivity we've become accustomed to. But is it good for us to be that connected all of the time?
Think about how much time you spend every day scrolling through a social network (or three), checking your email, or just checking your cell phone in general (even if it hasn't rung). For instance, as I write this blog, my cell phone is sitting loyally by my side, patiently waiting for the next time I receive an email or a text from one of my kids. My phone is never far from my side, and leaving a notification waiting seems to be getting more and more difficult. Confessions of a smartphone user.

Newcomer fools around with heartthrob
It had to happen sooner or later. Talk in cyberspace links Famous Heartthrob with Handsome Neophyte. HN and FH have been reckless, to boot, often caught in incriminating snapshots.
Defenders insist the two are just devoted friends secure in their masculinity. Alas, others stubbornly choose to see a budding bromance between the two second-generation stars, scions of macho men.
Sure beats "My Husband's Lover."
Take two
Obsessive Host was in the middle of an exclusive interview with Distraught Guest.
It was a tearjerker. DG was weeping buckets when OH suddenly hollered, "Cut!" And only because OH caught a glimpse of the monitor and didn't like the way they were lit.
OH hastily stood up from his chair and gave detailed instructions to the lights technician. Then, happy at last, OH walked back to the set and asked DG to "please cry again."
But DG had run out of tears.
Opposite of success
A mole volunteered that Top Project 1 had dislodged Top Project 2 in the race for commercial supremacy.
Drumbeaters, however, were stopped from bringing out the bubbly and celebrating TP1's triumph. In the past, the team was quick to herald every milestone big or small, real or imagined. This time, the good news was swept under the rug.
A spy said the bosses didn't want to risk irking the stars of TP2, particularly Spoiled Celeb and Volatile Cash Cow.
Cash counter
Heard on the Radyo Inquirer program "Kliq Showbiz" (dzIQ 990 AM, Monday to Friday, 3 to 5 p.m.):
Success has gotten into the head of Popular Teener and Notorious Parent.
Former friends say NP has become overbearing and would often brag about newly acquired wealth, the result of PT's hard work.
NP was once heard saying, "I don't have time to take phone calls; I'm too busy counting money."
Perhaps NP, a failed wannabe, is reliving lost glory. Then again, NP never achieved the heights of fame that PT has.
Picked up from the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Seems Flamboyant Celeb's minions are working double time to disparage the stars of competing show. There's been a barrage of unsavory rumors about FC's Popular Rivals.
Ironically, FC is guilty of the same "crimes" attributed to PRs. FC's gang claims PRs are haughty and inconsiderate, and that one of them picked up a guy during an out-of-town gig.
Yah, it's like the kettle calling the pot black.

Educational software products … less is more
Monday, March 14th, 2011 | software
The architect and furniture designer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, was one of the main proponents of minimalism in art and other design forms. Minimalism is the notion that simplicity and clarity lead to good design. Van der Rohe became famous for using the expression less is more.
The design of modern architecture, cars, furniture and other utility items are still influenced by this principle: simple, clean lines are preferred to frills.
The less is more principle could also be applied in our choice of software for schools. In many schools impressive software packages are installed but seldom – or never – used. The reason for this is that these tools are too complicated and too difficult for the average educator to understand. On the other hand, far less sophisticated software packages are embraced by teachers starting out on the ICT road. Why? Clearly because they can more readily identify with simple, practical tools.
A similar observation has been made regarding the number of software tools given to a school at the outset. In a well-meaning effort to cover all the bases, teachers may be swamped by a bewildering array of products. The result? There are too many different tools to learn; the road of least resistance for some teachers is to give up.
With the wisdom of hindsight, the best policy is to start with only one or two uncomplicated software products when they are introduced to ICT. As individual teachers mature in their use of technology, more complex programs can be added, according to their requirements. In fact, when teachers have out-grown the introductory products, most of them start to search for more appropriate ones themselves.
The successful use of technology in a school can not be measured in terms of the number and elegance of software products in their possession; success is to be measured by the degree to which these products are used to improve teaching and learning.
Before stocking up on software products, consider the wisdom of less is more.
3 Comments to Educational software products … less is more
Monday, 14 March, 2011
Yes … I must agree …. the more simplistic the software, the less complicated the navigation skills needed for both educator and learner.
I don't want to name the educational software packages i.e. those that are "loaded" with just too many complicated instructions and just too many overwhelmingly "tools / function / layout" etc – these software packages are excellent in content, activities, educational information and so on, but just too "confusion" re its face value / looks / layout / presentation etc for many non-ICT educators.
The "less" the frills, icons, graphics, instructions, tabs, and and and …. the more the screen is "open" … one package (without being too "loyal" to Khanya), is the Khanya LTSM !!

Too difficult for the average educator to understand.
Sunday, 10 April, 2011
Kobus, I agree completely: educators have many responsibilities and often expecting them to use a heavily taxed working memory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_memory#Capacity) to learn many new software packages is unrealistic.
A local example of this is the training given to Visual Arts and Design educators for using Apple Mac labs at the Arts and Culture Focus schools. Not only was the once-off workshop training structure mistaken (http://edutechdebate.org/teacher-training/teacher-training-on-ict-cannot-be-a-one-time-event/), but educators were given instruction in many new software packages. As a result, it is hardly suprising that very few educators include these labs in their curricula!
Has the DOE defined guidelines that trainers should follow in training educators to adopt ICT in their curricula? A policy on this would be useful to key decision makers, surely?
P.S. Given the comments from "Led Strips" and "Elevator", just a general recommendation that any technical jargon should be hyper-linked to definitions in your blog posts. Using this new media literacy will aid those unfamiliar with such technical terms through a quick look-up.

Ahead of Wednesday's match against the Montreal Impact, MLSsoccer.com's Matthew Doyle breaks down the play of LA Galaxy forward Landon Donovan and Montreal's Marco Di Vaio.
Check it out below.
It went down to the wire, but Jaime Penedo's World Cup dream ended on Tuesday evening as Panama fell 3-2 to the United States.
Panama needed only a Mexico defeat to Costa Rica and a win over the U.S. to qualify and appeared to be on their way to the two-leg playoff with New Zealand when Luis Tejada broke a 1-1 deadlock with a goal in 84th minute. However, Panama's hopes were dashed in stoppage time when the U.S. scored twice off goals from Graham Zusi and Aron Johansson to end Los Canaleros' hopes of reaching Brazil.
With the defeat, Panama finishes in fifth in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying while Mexico earns a berth in the two-leg playoff against New Zealand in November.
Send positive vibes to Penedo in the comment section below.
In the latest edition of the LA Galaxy All-Access Podcast, I sit down with the "voice of the Galaxy" Joe Tutino to discuss the team's run to the postseason.
Check it out below...
Robbie Keane scored once and went 90 minutes as Ireland closed out World Cup qualifying with a 3-1 victory over Kazakhstan in Dublin on Tuesday.
The LA Galaxy captain nodded a penalty kick in the 17th minute to equalize after the Kazakhs had taken an early lead. From there, it was all Ireland as John O'Shea found the back of the net in the 26th minute before Kevin Doyle set up a Dmitri Shomko own goal give the Irish a 3-1 win.
With Germany defeating Sweden 5-3 and Austria blowing past the Faroe Islands 3-0, Ireland finished in fourth place in Group C.
The Montreal Impact will travel to StubHub Center on Wednesday without four regulars from their starting XI.
Montreal captain Davy Arnaud and starting center back Matteo Ferrari are suspended for the match due to yellow card accumulation after picking up cautions in the Impact's 1-0 defeat to the New England Revolution last week. Also missing will be starting right back Jeb Brovsky, who remains out with a broken toe. Those won't be the only absences, however, as defender Alessandro Nesta reportedly will not travel to California according to reports.
Wednesday's match is vitally important for the Impact as they sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference and can clinch a postseason berth through a series of results this week.
Think the Galaxy may have a better chance of knocking out the Impact with their absences?
Share your thoughts.
LAGalaxy.com videographer Paolo Ferrari spoke to Omar Gonzalez, Todd Dunivant, and Sean Franklin ahead Wednesday's match between the LA Galaxy and the Montreal Impact.
Check the video out below...
CARSON, Calif. – Omar Gonzalez is optimistic about his status for this Wednesday's match against the Montreal Impact, but whether he suits up for the LA Galaxy remains up in the air.
Gonzalez was unable to travel on international duty after suffering a left hip strain during the first half of LA's 5-0 victory over Chivas USA on Oct. 6. Although the injury flared up against Chivas, Gonzalez told reporters on Monday that he has dealt with the strain since the Galaxy's 2012 MLS Cup victory nearly a year ago.
Although he was disappointed about not suiting up for the United States, Gonzalez is optimistic that he'll be able to be ready for Wednesday's match against Montreal.
"I think that I might be ready for Wednesday, but let's see what my body says," said Gonzalez, who turned 25 on Saturday. "We'll talk with the coaches and physios and see what they think.
"If it's possible, I'd like to play in both games [this week]," Gonzalez later added. "I want to be in every game that I'm available for. If I can play in Wednesday's game then I want to play, but if not then we have to reassess and see if I can go for Sunday."
Gonzalez may be optimistic about his status, but LA head coach Bruce Arena stated on Monday that there has been no decision made about the defender or Landon Donovan, who returned from international duty due to an ankle injury on Sunday.
"We haven't finalized anything yet," Arena told reporters. "We're hopeful that they'll play on Wednesday."
With the Galaxy on the brink of playoff qualification, Gonzalez is hopeful that he'll be able to suit up in one of LA's matches this week.
"This week is very important for us and, it's important for every team in the league right now," said Gonzalez. "This is what it comes down to. It's the fun part of the season and we just have to make it happen."
CARSON, Calif. – After missing the LA Galaxy's 5-0 victory over Chivas USA two weeks ago with a right adductor strain, Juninho believes that he's fit and ready for Wednesday's clash with the Montreal Impact.
Following training, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena told reporters that the team has not yet "made any decisions their lineup" but noted that Brazilian had been training with the squad as of late. Juninho himself stated that he was "not 100 percent yet," but felt optimistic about his status for Wednesday.
"I'm feeling much better. Today is my third day training with the guys. It's very important to me and I'm looking forward to getting back to the field," said Juninho. "I'm ready and I expect a rude game because we need three points. We'll be without a couple of guys so the young players need to step up and prove themselves."
Think Juninho will start against Montreal?

This week is a vital one for the LA Galaxy as the team can book a ticket in the 2013 MLS Cup postseason through a series of results in their two matches this week.
LA will qualify for the postseason -- for the fifth straight year -- directly with a victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday OR a win over the Montreal Impact on Wednesday and either a draw against San Jose OR a Colorado Rapids defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday.
Expect LA to book their ticket into the postseason this week? Hope that they knock out San Jose?

From Our Editors
Much like the Bat Signal summons Ted Williams back to life, Entourage summons diners with a giant, illuminated, cocktail-shaker-shaped side bay window. Once inside, Entourage offers an upscale dining environment filled with American-style cuisine. Starters include the light but powerful mesclun green salad, which hefts a stilton bleu and dried cherry vinaigrette onto spiced pecans and Fuji apples ($6.75), while the creamy lobster bisque hints at spicy notes ($6.25). Firecracker shrimp tosses crispy fried gulf shrimp into a kiddie pool of sweet chili sriracha sauce along with cilantro, lotus root chips, and grilled lemon ($12.95), and the macadamia-nut-crusted tilapia with banana coconut butter is paired with jasmine rice studded with dried fruit ($24.95). Entourage also offers several specialty cocktails and an extensive wine list.

Article Summary
Swedish company, Soltech Energy, recently received the gold medal for this year's hottest new material at the Nordbygg 2010 trade fair in Stockholm. The award was fitting because it was for the company's home heating system that features roof tiles made out of glass. The tiles, which are made from ordinary glass, weigh about the same as the clay roof tiles they replace but allow the sun to heat air that is then used to heat the house and cut energy bills.

If a budget is a moral document, what should be said about the president's proposed budget for 2010? I focus here on what this budget proposal says about justice for poorer Americans.
A little history is essential. The U.S. economy has grown enormously since the end of World War II. But there is a huge difference in how that growing wealth was distributed in the period from 1945-1980 and from 1981 to the present. In the first period, increasing wealth was widely shared and inequality dropped. In more recent decades, the economy continued to grow but most of the benefits went to the richest 20 percent.
In 1980, the richest 1 percent of Americans received 10 percent of all U.S. income. By 2006, that number had jumped to 22.1 percent.
What happened to the rest of us? From 1979-2005, the bottom 20 percent experienced a miniscule growth of pre-tax (inflation-adjusted) income of just 1 percent over all those 26 years. For the second-lowest 20 percent, income grew only 10 percent; for the middle 20 percent, it grew only 15 percent. Even those in the next-to-the-top 20 percent only received 23 percent more income after 26 years. But the top 20 percent saw their income jump 75 percent. And the richest 1 percent received a whopping 201 percent increase.
What President Obama's new budget seeks to do is to reverse this historic trend and provide more income and opportunity for the people at the bottom. Here are some key ways:
Making work work. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is increased, and families with three or more children receive a significantly larger tax credit. (Since the EITC is refundable, people receive this money even if they owe no federal income taxes.) The budget also seeks to raise the minimum wage.
Improvement in the Child Tax Credit (CTC). Previously, this $1,000-per-child tax credit was not refundable for people earning less than $10,000 a year. That meant the poorest workers got nothing. Now the CTC will be available to people earning as little as $3,000 (both this change and the increased EITC make permanent what the stimulus bill had done temporarily).
More assistance for college students from poorer families. This budget increases the dollar amount of annual Pell Grants (outright grants for low-income college students) and then indexes them to inflation for an extra $120 billion over 10 years. In addition, there is a new Access and Completion Incentive Fund ($2.5 billion over five years) to help low-income college students complete their degrees. The budget also seeks to save $54 billion in the student loan program by removing banks as the middlemen.
No farm subsidies for large farms, but more money for child nutrition. Large farms making more than $500,000 will no longer receive farm subsidies ($15 billion in savings). But there is an extra $10 billion for child nutrition. The highly successful nutrition program called Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is also slated for expanded funding. In addition, there is an additional $1 billion a year for the upcoming Child Nutrition reauthorization.
Pre-college education. The budget doubles the funding for charter schools and creates an "innovation fund" to encourage better schools. There is also $4.2 billion in new spending for child care, Early Head Start, and Head Start.
Expanded health coverage. The budget sets aside $634 billion over 10 years to help move us toward the goal of universal health coverage.
There are many other good things about this budget. It is far more transparent than President Bush's budgets because it seeks to include all known costs (e.g., the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan). And it calls for a major program to reduce carbon emissions and thus help decrease the impact of global warming.
Of course there are also things to question. Most of the increased taxes on those with incomes over $250,000 are quite justified, but reducing the tax deduction for charitable contributions is probably misguided. And the amount for economic foreign aid for poor nations should be higher. The size of the deficit is also of major concern. A large part of the present federal debt is because of President Bush's invasion of Iraq and his tax cuts for the rich. But that does not mean we can continue indefinitely with high federal deficits. Large deficits during a bad recession are wise. Ongoing deficits mean putting current purchases on our grandchildren's credit cards.
The bottom line is that this budget represents a historic change. Jim Wallis told several of us in a recent call that he and others participated in a conference call with key government leaders around the time the new budget was released. The Obama folks wanted to show how their new budget would benefit low-income Americans. Jim said the call left him in tears as he realized, first, that he had never experienced this kind of concern from top government officials before and, second, that the budget contained things that "some of us have gotten arrested for." [6]
The battle, however, has just begun. Many voices in Congress will seek to cut spending for the poor. We must let our representatives know that we strongly support effective measures to empower poor Americans.

One of the most important decisions you'll make when writing your will is determining who should be named executor of your estate.
Even if you're just leaving behind household goods and a small savings account, someone — whether appointed by you or the state court — must settle your affairs.
Some people consider it an honor — or duty — to take responsibility for ensuring that their loved one's final wishes are carried out. But serving as an executor can be onerous and time-consuming, even for those with a strong financial or legal background. In a worst-case scenario, executors who act imprudently, or in violation of their duties can be sued by beneficiaries and creditors.
Plus, you'll likely have to deal with the dreaded probate, a court-supervised process of locating and determining the value of the deceased's assets, paying final bills and taxes, and distributing what's left to the heirs.
Before you agree to serve as an estate's executor, make sure you understand what will be required of you. Major responsibilities often include:

Torquay United boss is ready to hone Nathan Craig's talent 'until it sparkles'
Posted: September 11, 2012|
Manager Martin Ling believes that Torquay United, who sold midfielder Eunan O'Kane to AFC Bournemouth for £175,000 in the summer, may have found another precious talent in Nathan Craig.
The 20-year-old Welshman made only his second npower League Two start in Saturday's 0-0 draw against local rivals Plymouth Argyle, and he was named "man of the match" after a cultured midfield display.
Ling said: "Nathan hardly gave the ball away, especially in the first half, and I think we may have unearthed another real diamond. We'll rubbing it until it sparkles."
Craig, who learned his trade at Everton, was plucked out of Welsh Premier League football with his home-town club Caernarfon Town last season. He is happy with how things are going at Plainmoor.
Craig said: "Playing just in front of the back-four is a new role for me, but I'm feeling comfortable there. If I can find space, which you do there, I know I can pass the ball."
Reviewing last Saturday's game, Craig added: "Everyone is disappointed with a draw, because we had a lot of chances, especially in the first half. But we'll keep doing what we're doing, and I'm sure we're going to have a big win over someone soon."
Ling has offered trialist George Artemi a four-month contract until the end of January. It follows a similar "prove yourself" deal for midfielder Karl Baker.
Artemi, 19, has been training with the Gulls since early pre-season and has played in friendlies and reserve matches in defence and midfield.
"George could prove to be a useful utility player," said Ling. "He has done a bit better than expected, so I'm going to give him the chance of an extended stay."
Artemi, who has had spells with Leyton Orient, Rushden & Diamonds and Southend United, and Baker will be part of a Gulls squad which is travelling to play Reading's Under-18 side at the Royals' training ground tomorrow.

As Jamison Coyle says in the video above, on Sunday, August 12, Gillette Stadium will see a soccer game and a boxing match within the span of 20 minutes. Not a bad night of sports, indeed.
And one of the men stepping into the ring after the New England Revolution vacate the pitch on that night is a local boy. A local boy with an Irish name, at that. Danny O'Connor is set to take on Eddie Soto in the first-ever boxing match held at Gillette Stadium. O'Connor even mentions in his interview that he can't get sidetracked by the excitement of performing in front of his hometown fans, and that he'll treat this fight just as if the ring were inside any other venue.
You can hear the rest of what O'Connor had to say in regards to his upcoming bout in this clip from NESN Daily.

The Atlantic reports on 'The Coming Global Water Crisis':
"In the next twenty years, global demand for fresh water will vastly outstrip reliable supply in many parts of the world. Thanks to population growth and agricultural intensification, humanity is drawing more heavily than ever on shared river basins and underground aquifers. Meanwhile, global warming is projected to exacerbate shortages in already water-stressed regions, even as it accelerates the rapid melting of glaciers and snow cover upon which a billion people depend for their ultimate source of water."

Candidates agree on most points, but Fletcher and Alvarez have testy exchange
"I am so happy and proud that two of the candidates up here are Latinos," Aguirre said.
Either Alvarez or Aguirre would be the first Latino mayor in city history.
It should come as no surprise that the candidates are actively courting votes from the Latino community, given that the number of Latino voters has increased by 71 percent since 2005 to more than 117,000.
The Latino vote played a large part in getting Filner elected last year and, if spurred to the polls, could play a similar role in a tightly contested special election.
An analysis of Filner's support during the November 2012 election by the National University System Institute for Policy Research found that voting precincts with a high number of Latino voters had an average turnout of 61 percent. Of those, 71 percent voted for Filner.
Nobody is predicting such high turnout for this special election, however. For example, the voter turnout in Latino-heavy precincts for the 2009 statewide special election was 18 percent.

Lady Tams down Lady Archers, stay unscathed
FAR Eastern University's Lady Tamaraws preserved their unbeaten run by tripping La Salle, 67-62, at the start of the second round recently of the UAAP basketball eliminations at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Top MVP contender Camille Sambile had another huge double-double of 27 points and 15 rebounds to power the defending champions to their eighth straight victory.
While the win extended the Lady Tamaraws' remarkable winning streak to 26 games since 2011, the FEU men's squad saw its own perfect run come to an end.
National University snapped the Tamaraws' seven-game run, 59-58, at the start of the men's second round last Wednesday.
Jack Tanaman also delivered for the Lady Tamaraws with 15 points, including seven straight that gave them a 64-57 advantage.
NU kept solo second with a 6-2 card as Kristine Abriam drilled 19 points to lift the Lady Bulldogs to a 65-58 disposal of Adamson.
The Lady Archers fell to 5-3, while University of Santo Tomas and University of the Philippines rose to 4-4 following separate wins.
Lore Rivera and Maica Cortes teamed up for 28 points to lead the Tigresses to a 72-51 rout of University of the East while the Lady Maroons bested Ateneo, 71-63, behind Bea Daez and Patrcia Tatel's combined 34 points.
Meanwhile, UST forward Aljon Mariano dismissed a recent injury as a "normal sprain" and said he would suit up in the Tigers' next game versus Ateneo in men's play next week.
Mariano sat out almost the entire second half after twisting his left ankle in the Tigers' loss to the Warriors, 68-67, last Thursday.
"I'll be able to play," said Mariano. "It's a normal sprain, it's just swollen right now."

A wonderful museum with many wonderful exhibits. All the signs and exhibits had English translations which were great as we could take our own time and look at the articles and pieces on display with out the need of a guide. This is a very educational place and we learnt a lot about Chinese history during our visit.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A major storm and settlements of inmate lawsuits contributed to a nearly $20 million increase in the West Virginia Board of Risk and Insurance Management's claims expenses.
The agency's annual report shows that claims expenses claims for the fiscal year that ended June 30 totaled more than $53 million. About $4 million of the expenses were due to the derecho on June 29, 2012. The derecho and subsequent storms left three people dead and more than 680,000 customers without electricity across the state.
Most of the state's 55 counties had damage claims because of the storm, BRIM Director Chuck Jones told the Charleston Gazette.
"That was an anomaly, obviously," he said. "We didn't expect anything like that."
Jones said that the storm also hit the state park system hard. Parks not only had damage claims but lost revenue because they had to be closed for the July 4 holiday.
"State parks were affected tremendously," Jones said.
Inmate lawsuits were another key factor in the increase. During the fiscal year, BRIM settled claims on about 100 Regional Jail lawsuits and 75 Corrections lawsuits, with settlements running up to $25,000 to $30,000 each, including legal fees, he said.
"It's a considerable amount of money," he said.
But he said that BRIM remains fiscally sound.
The annual report shows that BRIM's total net assets at the end of fiscal 2012 were $221.5 million, up $1.68 million from the previous year.
"We don't have an unfunded liability like we used to have years ago," Jones said.
Claims payments tend be cyclical and upswings occur in certain years, he said.

Lyceum breaks free in the fourth to beat EAC
More News from Mark Giongco
MANILA, Philippines — Lyceum pulled away late to hack out a 59-47 win over Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) Monday in the 2012 FilOil Flying V Preseason Hanes Cup at the San Juan Arena.
Marksman Cris Cayabyab scored a game-high 18 points despite missing all of his shots from deep.
Both teams struggled from the field. The Pirates shot 32% while the Generals only hit 17 out of 55 attempts for a woeful 31%.
Lyceum, which separated itself from 37-all after three, notched its first win in five games.
No player from EAC hit double-figure scoring. Noube Happi and Russel Yaya had nine points apiece.

Love and Distance in London
Israel and Iran to be housed at opposite ends of the Olympic Village
In advance of the Olympics, the organizers have attempted to clear a path through the geopolitical minefield of the visiting countries who have either bad relations now or bad history in general.
On the topic of housing in the Olympic Village, check out a very thorough report from The Independent that includes breakdowns on decor, athlete crushes, and much, much more.
Specifically though, there's this:
The Swiss delegation is probably the easiest to assign a space for. In all, 203 countries have teams staying in the village, many of whom's animosity towards one another extends far beyond the synchronised swimming pool.
Israel and Iran are housed at opposite ends of the village; TeamGB [Great Britain] are suitably far away from their Argentine counterparts; and the German contingent have been placed a good distance from the Greeks.
This seems like a fair deal for everyone. No one wants a repeat of Pope John Paul II's funeral, at which the Iranian and Israeli delegations ended up sitting near to each other because the seats were alphabetized.
After the event, Iranian President Mohammed Khatami and Israeli President Moshe Katsav–both of whom grew up in the same town in Iran–ended up chatting with each other amicably for a few minutes in Farsi before they were seen shaking hands. Back in Iran, Khatami denied ever shaking hands with Katsav; Katsav got raked over the coals by the Israeli press.
On a warmer note, according to The Independent, the Olympics is also a time for love:
Olympic athletes tend to make love not war. The Sydney village ran out of its 70,000 condoms and had to call in 20,000 more. Athens went for 180,000 – too many – but things were very different then. Beijing provided 100,000 but, typically, have never divulged if there were any left over. Durex are providing "tens of thousands" this time round but, as they are not an official sponsor, they will be in unbranded packets.
Let's hope for the best in all manners of sport.

2006 BEST Personal Trainer
No pain, no gain? We so understand that phrase. Our first day at BodyScapes was a bit of a shock: Our butts were kicked—hard—as one of manager Jerry Labbate's six smiling trainers guided us through a series of squats, lunges, lifts, and sprints so intense we ached for days. But then one morning, two months later, we suddenly awoke with abs. Real, defined abs. And biceps. And calves. And—did we mention?—abs!

I have a blogger blog that has been ftp'd to my site for a year now and want to replace it with wp. I've been able to move and import easily (what a great feature!) with other blogs I've moved, but then I moved those to their own sub domains.
Right now the path for the blogger blog is
I want to install wp in .../blog
I guess I can't because the blogger blog is there.
My thought is to move the first blog back to blogger (undo the ftp) and then delete anything that would be in the .../blog folder and then try and install.
My other thought is do make a new directory, intall the wp blog, get it ready to go and then just drag the whole thing to the proper directory.
Assuming both ways work, which is better, safer and less confusing for this relative wp newbie?
If both of these way are wrong, I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

Revolver - Colt 1861 Navy, 1862 Reg. No: ST 023783
- Summary:
- Colt 1861 Navy revolver in original centrefire metallic cartridge configuration, cal. .38 in., using parts from a pre-cartridge model hence the original .36 in. stamping on triggerguard, rifled round barrel 190 mm (7 1/2 inch) with Mason-style side ejector.
Made by Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Co, Hartford, Connecticut. Serial number 2071, 1862.
Barrel lug stamped with a James Rosier number of J.R 18633, indicating it has been through the business of prominent Melbourne gun retailer, James W. Rosier.
- Description:
- Six chambered cylinder engraved with naval battle scene, large rounded brass trigger guard with good remnants of silver plating, steel frame, brass back strap with light remnants of silver plating, wooden grips, blade front sight, loading gate on right hand side. Knurling on hammer is of typical London style framed in an inverted 'U'. Barrel address is one-line New York address.
Serial number 2071, though cylinder is stamped 021. This is possibly a factory error, or alternatively indicates the original serial number of the cylinder. Cylinder and barrel underside stamped with British proof marks.
Frame left hand side is stamped with the double patent stampings for C.B.Richards patent (top stamping, patent no. 117461) and then W.Mason's patent (bottom stamping, patent no. 128644).
Strong case hardening colours to frame and good original blueing with some wear across cylinder and barrel.
- Statement Of Significance:
- The 1861 Colt Navy followed on from the 1860 Colt Army in general design and appearance with the obvious exception that it was produced in the Naval calibre of .36 in. rather than the Army's .44 in. It had a relatively short production of thirteen years with a total production figure of 38,843. Undoubtedly many more would have been produced were it not for the introduction of metallic cartridge ammunition and the disastrous fire at the Colt factory in 1864. Production of this model declined markedly after this date.
This particular example was produced in Colt's Hartford factory but destined for the English market, as denoted by the British roof marks on cylinder and barrel. Interestly this model is unlikely to have been converted to centrefire, but rather to have originally been produced to take metalic cartridge ammuntion, as indicated by the original circular knurling on the head of the ejector rod, rather than the course cross-hatching present on later factory conversions, and the fact that the double patent stamping on the frame left hand side is not stamped over the original COLTS/ PATENT stamp.
Such models highlight the developments that would occur from the 1860s onwards in producing firearms capable of accepting cartridge ammunition.

3300 Original Breech Loaders above and beyond the percussion models. Wilson gives #38843 as highest butb that is only the highest found in the dispatch/sales records. Production contracts much more likely to be in 1000's and I have 37694 with a back strap 39780, this could be a repro replacement or a 'typo' but interesting.

Spice Coated Pork Chops With Apricots
|Pork chops
|4 (1 Inch Thick)
|Ground cumin seeds
|1 Teaspoon
|Ground coriander
|1 Teaspoon
|Ground ginger
|1 Teaspoon
|Olive oil
|1 Tablespoon
|2 Large, minced
|Loosely packed slivered dried apricots
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|Dry white wine
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
Trim off all visible fat from the chops.
Mix the spices and coat the chops with the mixture, pressing it into the meat.
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet (cast iron is the best for this dish) and fry the chops slowly so that they are cooked through by the time they're brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
The only test for doneness is to cut a chop, which then becomes the cook's portion.
During the last 3 minutes, add the shallots to the pan.
Meanwhile, combine the apricots and wine in a small saucepan, and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the apricots stand while finishing the chops.
Remove the chops from the pan and keep them warm.
If there is any excess fat, pour it off, but keep the shallots.
Deglaze the hot pan by pouring in the apricot-wine mixture.
After it boils for 1 minute, remove the sauce from the heat.
Combine with any meat juices exuded from the chops while they were kept warm.
Divide the apricot sauce among the chops before serving.

Garden Gate NurseryRead MoreAfter studying genetics at UW–Madison's College of Agriculture, Gwen Condon opened a garden and landscaping center in the hopes of making local exteriors more beautiful and fashionable. Gwen began traveling to shows in Germany, England, and Italy in search of gifts and garden accessories. Her shop quickly grew into an inspirational garden, where customers wander paths lined with seasonal plants, from spring flowers to fall mums to winter killer tomatoes. The knowledgeable staff makes sure to clearly label each plant with lighting and water requirements. Additionally, customers can show photography of their yards to Garden Gate Nursery staff to get tips on plants, shrubs, or trees that would thrive there. The garden tamers' most popular service is what they call the "Please Come Stand in My Yard" consultation, a house call in which they scope yards and inspect any problem areas before sharing their ideas and recommendations.N48W30756 Hill StHartland, WI US
