Forgrave: With leader ailing, Calipari's young 'Cats grow up in win
On Saturday afternoon, before Kentucky's 73-66 victory over Louisville — the sixth-ranked team in the nation, the defending national champion, and most important in this hoops-mad state the hated cross-state rival of Big Blue Nation — a thick stack of papers sat in the media room, lined with Kentucky's pregame notes.
At the bottom was one curious note.
"According to KenPom.com, the Wildcats rank 351st in the country in total experience, which is considered the least experienced squad in the nation," it read. "The average experience of 0.23 years is the youngest collection of players in the history of KenPom's rankings dating back to 2007."
This was not some humble-brag, where John Calipari & Co. could point at their extreme youth to emphasize this year's historically great recruiting class, the first ever to feature six McDonald's All-Americans. Nor was it a way to excuse Kentucky stumbling out of the gate during the first seven weeks of the season, going from a team that had some dreaming of a 40-0 season to a team that dropped each of its first three games against ranked opponents.
It was merely a fact, and the single most important fact to start with when you are discussing anything about these Kentucky Wildcats. You start here: They are the youngest team in college basketball, and the most talented, too.
So when the game began and Louisville burst to an 8-0 lead, you had to wonder: Was this the youth once again wilting on the big stage?
Then as the first half wore on, the Kentucky team showed why all this preseason promise could soon become reality. The 'Cats cleaned up the glass, rebounding an astounding 11 of their 20 missed field goals in the first half. Willie Cauley-Stein dominated the Louisville frontcourt with two blocks and six boards in the first half, showing why he's developing into a lottery-level talent.
And leading it all in Kentucky's dominating first half was Julius Randle, the beast with the pretty touch and the man around whom this young team revolves. He drove from the perimeter, wove through traffic and slammed down a dunk. He did the same thing from the opposite side of the court and finished with a pretty baby hook. A behind-the-back dribble in transition, a nifty little fadeaway, a bully to the basket, a rim-rattling dunk on a putback: He is the type of player you wish came with real-life DVR so you could rewind all his highlights, just to make sure they actually happened.
NCAA POLLSThese are the nation's best. Where is your team in the latest polls?
Earlier this season, Randle's teammates seemed to be content with sitting back and watching him perform magic with the basketball, too. This has been a problem for Kentucky. When Randle hasn't played up to par against top opponents — like his 11-point, five-rebound performance in the loss to North Carolina — Kentucky has faltered.
And so, when Randle grabbed his midsection and wobbled off the floor near the beginning of the second half, you had to wonder: Could Kentucky win this game — its last chance to get a confidence boost before conference play begins on Jan. 8 — with Randle stumbling to the locker room?
Calipari preferred to avoid that question altogether. His top scorer and rebounder was cramping up, so Calipari instructed his trainers to pump him full of IV fluids. They did, squeezing three bags of the stuff into him as his teammates kept the game close. Randle came back on the floor, clearly in agony, and then froze up and limped to the bench minutes later.
With 11:01 left in the game, and with the score tied at 51, Randle had seen his last action of the game — a dominating first half followed by a second half with zero points, zero rebounds, zero field goal attempts.
Surely the youngest team in college basketball would collapse.
Instead, it blossomed.
"Thought we grew up today," Calipari said afterward. "This is the youngest team I've ever coached, ever. I'm learning. Believe me when I tell you, I've never coached a team this young, and so there's so many things that we're doing, trying to figure out as we go.''
NCAA STANDINGSWho are the big dogs this season? Check out all the conference races.
This was about sophomore Alex Poythress — the guy who caught so much criticism last season for playing without a motor — revving his team up, spelling Randle and playing unselfish, heads-up basketball that made his team 20 points better than Louisville when he was on the floor.
This was about sharpshooter James Young missing a lot of shots — he went only 5-of-17 from the floor, netting 18 points and corralling 10 rebounds — but making the shots that mattered most, like the three he drained moments after Louisville's Luke Hancock drilled a big three to bring Louisville within four points toward the end of the game.
This was about Andrew Harrison, the talented but frustrating freshman point guard, finally learning to play within himself; he had his best college game not because of his 18 points but because of plays like when he drove into traffic with less than two minutes left, but instead of forcing a shot he fed it to Poythress for a game-clinching dunk.
"This is about players playing as a team," Calipari said afterward. "This team is becoming a good team. We haven't been all year. Now we're starting. You know why? Because they knew if they didn't play together, they had no shot in this game.''
No matter how much talent is on this squad of future NBA players, Kentucky still will have some bumps in the road. The Wildcats' awful free-throw shooting (16 of 30 against Louisville) and poor three-point shooting (three of 14 on Saturday) will bite them in the rear more than once. So will the times when their inexperience shows with boneheaded plays; Calipari counted five or six of those on Saturday.
But Saturday might still end up being seen as the moment the scales fell from this young team's eyes. Until Saturday the Wildcats had devoured every cupcake on their schedule — a 29-point win over Texas-Arlington! — and wilted against every top-25 team they played. These Kentucky Wildcats seemed like they were the opposite of last year's Louisville Cardinals: Instead of a team that made each other better, they were a collection of big-time talents where the whole was less than the sum of its parts.

But this team could rip off a run in SEC play, romp through March, head all the way to the Final Four, and become the Kentucky team we'd envisioned when we spoke of what it meant when five of the nation's top nine recruits went to the same school. If that's what this team becomes, we'll be able to point to the second half against Louisville — their biggest star cramping up, their confidence waning, the preseason world-beaters seemingly on the verge of dropping out of the top 25 before the new year — as the moment this team came together.
"When Julius got hurt, it was a tie game, but we all believed we could still win," Andrew Harrison said. "That's growing up in itself. ... That's just showing how much heart this team has. I know we get criticized a lot for being young and body language and stuff like that. But we knew we could win this game. And going against a great team like Louisville, we knew we had to bring it.''
After the game, Young was asked: Was this something this team needed, to battle through some adversity and come through the other end?
His answer was telling: "Probably just to show people we could do it without Julius," he said.
"But we really couldn't have done it without him, because he really did his thing in the first half. We really had to come closer together as a team, and that's what we did.''
They came together. They beat a very good Louisville team. They shot themselves with a boost of confidence heading into the new year.
Right before our eyes, the youngest team in college basketball grew up.

Stormy conditions forced the South Korean military to suspend the search for 46 sailors missing since a mysterious blast blew apart their navy ship last week, officials said on Wednesday, a day after a diver died during the rescue mission.
Defence Ministry spokesman Won Tae—jae, told reporters that divers could not go down to the wreckage of the Cheonan due to the prospect of rain, high winds and a swift current. Parts of the ship remain submerged in the rough Yellow Sea near Baengnyeong Island, just south of the two Koreas' maritime border.
Work on salvaging the vessel could start next week, Defence Minister Kim Tae—young said on Wednesday, according to military officials. Authorities have said the cause of the blast likely won't be known until the ship is retrieved; they have suggested several scenarios, including that a North Korean mine hit it.
The sailors' families gathered at a naval base south of Seoul cried and yelled as they demanded that authorities step up the search operation.
Divers have managed to get down to the section where sailors are believed trapped but heard no signs of life inside, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said. They attempted to get into a door in the stern on Tuesday but made little headway, Rear Adm. Lee Ki—sik said.
Also on Tuesday, a 53—year—old diver who lost consciousness during a rescue attempt died and another was treated for injuries.
The 1,200—ton ship went down after an explosion ripped through it on Friday night during a routine patrol. Fifty-eight crew members, including the captain, were rescued.
Military officials say the exact cause of the explosion remains unclear, and U.S. and South Korean officials say there is no evidence of North Korean involvement, although Mr. Kim, the defence minister, told lawmakers this week that a floating mine dispatched from rival North Korea was one possible explanation for the blast. A mine left over from the 1950-53 Korean War may also have struck the ship, he said.
The military has also not ruled out the possibility of a torpedo attack.
A North Korean defector who once worked for the regime's spy agency suggested it could have been a suicide attacker, saying marines are trained as "human torpedoes" to drive a bomb toward a target.
But an unidentified North Korean economic official in the Chinese town of Dandong denied North Korea's involvement in the blast, Yonhap news agency reported from Dandong, which borders North Korea.
A North Korean diplomat in Beijing who was contacted by The Associated Press said he had no information about the sinking.
The Chosun Ilbo newspaper said a North Korean submersible or semi-submersible vessel disappeared around the time of the ship's sinking and has since returned to its base north of Baengnyeong Island. The report cited an unidentified government source with access to satellite pictures. But the source said the disappearance wasn't unusual and that it would be difficult to connect it to Friday's explosion.
South Korea's YTN cable network reported that the Cheonan and another South Korean navy ship were sailing to the area where the vessel sank in response to the appearance of a North Korean semi-submersible vessel. The report cited an unidentified military official. The Joint Chiefs of Staff declined to comment, saying the matter pertained to military operations.

This lecture takes us on a virtual journey in search for women in medieval Cairo. Exploring palaces and ordinary houses, markets and cemeteries, leisure pavilions on the Nile and ateliers, the quest for the attainment of a historically accurate portrayal of women in medieval Egypt turns the social historian into a veritable detective. Armed with the forensic tools of textual analysis, material evidence, scarce documentary sources and a dose of intuition Dr. Cortese unpacks anecdotes, literary conventions, historical accounts and forged stories to shed light on women's participation – whether real or perceived- to the political, economic, social and cultural life of the time and place they lived in. The lecture focuses on women in Cairo in the Fatimid period (969-1171). During Fatimid rule, royal patronage, religious tolerance and commercial prosperity promoted the establishment and growth of a cosmopolitan urban society that brought to Cairo and the neighbouring city of al-Fustat women of varied religious, ethnic and social backgrounds. Some of these women rose to become royalty while others left their mark as transmitters of learning. Seeking them out deepens our knowledge of life in medieval Cairo.
Speaker: Dr. Delia Cortese, Middlesex University, London (PhD, SOAS University of London), Assistant Professor in Religious Studies.
Dr Delia Cortese's area of research is medieval Islam, particularly Ismaili studies and the Fāṭimid period. In recent years she has been focusing on gender and social history, Islamic codicology, and the interrelationship between Europe and the Islamic world. Beside Women and the Fatimids in the World of Islam (with S. Calderini, Edinburgh University Press, 2006), she is also the author of Arabic Ismaili Manuscripts: The Zahid Ali Collection, IB Tauris, 2003 and Ismaili and Other Arabic Manuscripts, IB Tauris, 2000. Recent articles include 'Voices of the Silent Majority: the Transmission of Sunni Learning in Fāṭimid Ismā'īlī Egypt', Jerusalem Studies in Arabic and Islam, vol. 39 (2012), and 'A Dream Come-True: Empowerment Through Dreams Reflecting Fāṭimid-Ṣulayḥid Relations' in O. Ali-de-Unzaga (ed.), Fortresses of the Intellect, Ismaili and other Islamic Studies in Honour of Farhad Daftary, London, New York: I.B. Tauris, 2011.

IT IS monsoon time and the skies have opened in coastal and Malnad regions of the State. It is either raining misery or beauty — depending on which side of the economic fence you are on.
While the Malnad monsoon can make for pretty pictures, for many travelling in buses it can be quite a dampener.
It happened to 63-year-old passenger, who was going to Mangalore from Bangalore by a KSRTC Rajahamsa service. No sooner had the bus crossed Hassan than it started raining. The passenger, who got a good sampling of the downpour, soon realised that the windowpanes were not rainproof. Fortunately, there was another vacant seat in the bus and the conductor was kind enough to accommodate him there and he spent the rest of the journey in relative comfort.
However, a passenger who boarded the bus en route was not so lucky. He had to take the old seat and completed the journey in wet misery.
It is not uncommon to get drenched in KSRTC and BMTC buses as the corporations appear not to have done the pre-monsoon works on their vehicles. Whenever it rains in Bangalore, one would find all the window seats in BMTC buses vacant because of seepage from the edges of windows. In cases of old BMTC buses (there are quite a few), commuters have no other option but to unfurl their umbrella.
Where is her story?
IT WAS a different but effective argument. The audience, mostly women in traditional attire, listened to her with rapt attention, sometimes breaking into applause.
The men occupying the seats on the other side of the hall looked decidedly pale-faced.
R. Poornima, editor of Udayavani, who addressed them at a function organised by the Sri Banashankari Cooperative Bank, fired the first salvo with her remark on the total blackout of women in history books. Even the story of men unfortunately mostly concern themselves with their successes in wars and in inflicting cruelty. This is because, she says, it is HIS STORY and not HER STORY.
Next came her analysis of Parvati, Lakshmi and Saraswati, the goddesses of power, wealth and knowledge who are worshipped for bestowing these three valued gifts. But look at the irony, she said. In real life women are deprived of these attributes and enjoy no recognition in the family or society.
Ms. Poornima had a piece of advice for the women in the audience: don't be carried away, she said, if anybody tries to flatter you by likening you to a goddess.
Disclaiming doc
IT WAS a literary event in which just everyone on the dais had a Ph.D. to their credit. The organisers had generously attached a "Dr." to Lokayukta N. Santosh Hegde's name as well, perhaps in an effort to make him feel at home in the august literary gathering.
But the Lokayukta decided to come clean at the end of his short speech. He said that he did indeed have a doctorate. But that was an honorary one and the Supreme Court had clearly stated that a doctorate of that kind cannot be attached to names. "They have called me Justice Doctor. That is a contradiction in terms," he further elaborated.
The compere then decided to step in and make him feel better.
"You are a doctor taking care of the health of our society, sir," she beamed. Not an argument that would convince the upright legal luminary.
The power of camera
WHAT DOES press coverage mean these days? With television channels springing up all over the place, people, especially those hankering after publicity, seem to be satisfied only if at least one television channel arrives on the spot.
Recently, two daily wage workers tried to commit suicide by consuming poison. They were rushed to a government hospital where they were placed on ventilators. This reporter rushed to the spot in hope of getting some reaction from the members of the association they belonged to. While a functionary was narrating what happened, a TV reporter walked in, followed by a cameraperson. The functionary stopped mid-sentence and rushed in their direction with nary a glance at the reporter who was talking to him all the while.

Moot and academic: SC dismisses PSBank petition on Corona dollar accounts
More News from INQUIRER.net, Tetch Torres
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Saying it has become moot and academic, the Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed the petition filed by the Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank) that sought to annul the order of the Senate sitting as impeachment court to produce the documents regarding the dollar accounts of former Chief Justice Renato Corona.
In a five-page resolution, the high court en banc, through Associate Justice Estela Perlas-Bernabe, said there was no more reason for them to resolve the case.
Corona was removed from his position on May 29, 2012, after the impeachment court found him guilty of betrayal of public trust.
"It is well-settled that courts will not determine questions that have become moot and academic because there is no longer any justiciable controversy to speak of," the high court said.
"The judgment will not serve any useful purpose or have any practical legal effect because, in the nature of things, it cannot be enforced," the high court added.
The PSBank went to the Supreme Court after the Senate impeachment court issued a resolution ordering them to produce bank documents in connection with Corona's foreign currency deposits.
PS Bank is apprehensive that they might be sanctioned by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas if they will comply with the Senate impeachment court's order.
Voting unanimously, the high court said the bank no longer faces such a dilemma.
"The judgment will not serve any useful purpose or have any practical legal effect because, in the nature of things, it cannot be enforced," it said.
At the same time, the court lifted the temporary restraining order (TRO) it issued last February 9 that stopped the Senate from gaining access to Corona's bank accounts.

With its key export market US yet to show any signs of revival, Infosys on Thursday said it would bid for all big government projects in the country and would target a billion dollar (Rs 5,000 crore) revenue from India in the next 3-4 years.
"We are now going after the large government projects, deals which are over Rs 200 crore. We are targeting a billion dollar revenue from the services business in India in 3-4 years time-frame," Binod H R, senior VP and head of India Business Unit, Infosys, told PTI.
The Nasdaq-listed IT exporter's rival TCS had also earlier said that it was expecting one billion dollar revenue from India over the next 3-4 years.
"We are going after both government and private projects in the IT services business. But it is going to be 90 per cent ...government (projects), while 10 per cent from the private sector."
Most of the growth would right now come from the government sector as private sector has already made a lot of investment in IT. Probably, they would go a little slow on the investment at this moment due to recession, Mr. Binod said.
He said revenue from India is very low at the moment. The company has bid for the IT pilot projects of the Railways.
Infosys's India business is fairly new that was started at 2007-end and is a separate business unit. Earlier, he had said that the firm had taken a conscious decision not to participate in the local market.
"We are late into this (Indian) market but the company will catch up", he said.
He further said, "we would like to participate in large deals of ministries of Power, Railways, IndiaPost, Telecom, Commerce and Finance, where a lot of repetitive things can happen across the states.
Recently, the company completed a mission mode project for the Commerce Ministry.
On the Unique Identification project, he said once the details are out, we will evaluate and see we have the strengths to bid for it like any other project. If we think we have the capability, surely we will go for it.
On the specific upcoming projects, he said, "Big projects are coming up in the Ministry of Power...we will participate in some of the states for the power projects.
"We are already consultants to three states - Rajasthan, MP and UP - which excludes us from bidding for the implementation of the projects. So it opens us to 26 states where we can bid. So we will bid selectively in some of the states".
The Ministries of Railways and Defence are expected to put some large projects up for bidding soon.
Infosys has manufacturing logistics services, banking and financial, telecom and Government, services among others and India business caters to all the verticals.
At the moment, retail vertical is going slow due to slowdown and government, energy utility and telecom are our strongest verticals, he said.

'Half the Kingdom' travels through the health care system, darkly
Slide over, Thomas Pynchon, and make room for another older writer's sardonic novel about contemporary New York, infused with conspiracy theory.
In "Half the Kingdom," Lore Segal finds plenty of worms in the Big Apple, just as Pynchon does in "Bleeding Edge." But in contrast to Pynchon's all-inclusive paranoia, Segal focuses tightly on one faltering ecosystem: the elderly and American health care. »Read Full Article

Quasimondo struggles with Lovecraft homage 'Love & Cthulhu'
Stephen King once toyed with writing a story about traveling inside the pillow on which H.P. Lovecraft laid his head each night, en route to creating the nightmarish tales that King rightly describes as "uniquely terrible in all of American literature."
Daunted and even frightened by such an assignment, King never did it, concluding that the idea of trying to "put all that into a story" would be "ludicrous." »Read Full Article

My name is Tashi and i am a Lhasa Apso. I have a Tibetan name, of course, and it means good fortune. People can't help but smile when they look at me because my coat makes me look like a teddy bear. I am as cuddly and lovable as one. I love to run and wrestle at the dog park; but sometimes I play so hard that mom has to carry me home.More pictures and comments
My name is Bella and I'm eleven weeks old. I've only been at my new home for a week, but I'm very well adjusted. I've already learned how to play fetch, sit, lie down, play dead, and swim in my very own pool! While I'm not allowed on the furniture inside my house, I've already claimed the Adirondack chair in my backyard. My parents say that I'm special and a great canine companion, but I don't let my good looks and good behavior affect my mild ego.More pictures and comments
Hi, I'm Timber. I'm from Vermont and found a loving home in New Jersey. I love to play outside, play with my rope, and chase balls. I also love watching children in the neighborhood play. But after so much activity, I enjoy a good long nap, especially on the kitchen floor.More pictures and comments
Oliver is sweet and energetic. He enjoys playing with his toys, running with the big dogs down the street, and lying under the coffee table. He loves to be around people and greets everyone with lots of doggie kisses. His perfect night out involves a long walk in the neighborhood and cuddling up on the couch watching movies starring his favorite actor, Matt Damon.More pictures and comments
Kira is a mix between a Chihuahua and a poodle. She's super cute and cuddly and loves her bone. We can't imagine our lives without her!More pictures and comments

Things To Do In The Autumn Garden – Preparing For Freezing Weather
What to do if you haven't much time
- Prepare for possible very cold weather. See below for advice on helping your plants survive.
- Clean up your mower and get it serviced if necessary. It'll be easier, and maybe cheaper, now rather than in the spring when everyone wants theirs serviced.
- Mow the grass one more time if it needs it, and edge it nicely so it looks good for weeks.
Preparing for extreme cold
You can start by understanding what kills plants. I believe there are several reasons so many died in 2011. Yes, very low temperatures which lasted for a long time. But also, the plants weren't ready for it – one moment it was warm and they were growing vigorously and then next moment the snow arrived. So what can you do? Take a leaf from our book:
- Insulate pots that are too big to take indoors – wrap bubblewrap around the pots to help protect the roots but never around the plants themselves as that will lead to mould and rot.
- Buy horticultural fleece so you're ready to wrap it around key plants just before extreme cold. It will save a couple of degrees of frost and reduce the drying effects of cold winds. It allows the plant to breathe a bit, but if possible, remove it whenever there's no frost so that excess moisture can evaporate.
- Keep ventilating greenhouses well during the day and night for as long as possible. The aim is to let the colder weather induce your plants to prepare themselves for winter. Their stems will toughen up and they'll do better when freezing weather arrives.
- Only shut the doors when there might be temperatures that will kill the most tender of your plants. Open them again as soon as possible.
- The most dangerous situation for plants is when their roots are frozen but the air is warm (e.g. in a greenhouse in early morning). The warmth dries out the plant, which can't replace that moisture through its frozen roots. Result? Death.
- Water as little as possible so that compost and soil is drier. This helps slow down growth and means that if we get very wet weather the soil won't get waterlogged so soon. Soggy soil in winter encourages root rotting.
- Only bring plants into the house if absolutely essential to avoid them dying from freezing. And get them outside again as soon as possible because warm temperatures will encourage growth, which will be leggy and poor in quality due to low light conditions.
- When tidying your borders, don't cut back slightly tender plants like fuchsias, penstemons and caryopteris.
Other jobs
Trees, Shrubs & Hedges
- Check tree ties – are they firm but not pinching?
- Plant bare-root trees and hedging plants
- Tie in long, whippy shoots of climbers to avoid winter damage
- Cut back dying growth to tidy, unless you want to provide protection for small creatures (including slugs and snails, but also beneficial creatures)
- Plant tulips
- Divide existing clumps of hardy perennials, cutting back the foliage hard
- Lift dahlias
- Keep off the lawn during wet weather. In dry weather rake up fallen leaves
Fruit & Veg
- Press on with winter digging
- Lift root crops, begin harvesting Brussel sprouts
- Net all brassicas
- Harvest the last apples and start winter pruning of apple and pear trees
- Cut out older shoots of blackcurrant, gooseberries and redcurrants
- Plant fruit trees and bushes
- Plant out seedlings of spring cabbages; plant garlic and winter onion sets. Sow broad beans (but protect from mice with wire, if you can).
- Plant baskets and pots with flowers and evergreens for winter interest. Evergreens can include colourful heucheras and herbs like sage. Violas have smaller flowers than pansies but will flower better in cold weather and don't need deadheading to keep them looking good.

The no-frills AmazonBasics BTV2 Bluetooth speaker offers an inexpensive accessory to boost your audio on the go.
X-mini's first non-capsule speaker is a pretty good effort, but it's a little too pricey when compared to the Creative Sound Blaster Roar, which also has an active subwoofer.
Very, very incremental updates from the X-A1 include a flip-up display.
One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
At a convenient size for luggage or leaving in a car, the Bolt Power X-5 Mini offers versatility in charging personal electronics and becomes essential in an automotive emergency kit.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi combine to stream audio from any app around your house.
The second version of X-Mini's Kai features a new ceramic driver for better sound, and improved battery life.
The Mini X definitely improves on the original with more advanced video features, better mics, and linear PCM audio recording.
The Honor 3X offers great performance and specs for its low price. However, unless you're getting a local version with Google Mobile Services pre-installed, you will not be getting the full flavor of Android without some effort.
Pricing not available
If you're just looking for an all-around excellently made Windows touch ultrabook and don't mind that it's on the expensive side (and doesn't convert to a tablet), the improved Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus is worth the investment.

Malagasy Leader Plays Down Recent Opposition Rallies, Paper
Text of report by Malagasy privately-owned daily newspaper L'Express de Madagascar website on 1 September
The government has not been particularly vocal over the demonstrations held in some districts on Friday.
It appears as if the government wishes to give the impression that it attaches little importance to these events.
President Ravalomanana has issued no statement on yesterday's rallies organized by the opposition in several towns.
The head of state's speech broadcast on Ny tenin'ny Filoham- pirenena was limited to matters concerning water and education.
On Friday, the opposition organized rallies in various towns such as Antisranana and Toliara and also made an attempt to hold a demo in Toamasina which resulted in a series of arrests after intervention by security forces.
In line with the image potrayed by the president, the regime seems to have been instructed to play down the opposition's movement.
Prime Minister Charles Rabemananjara, among others, failed to touch on the issue during his meeting with local officials on Saturday.
Questioned by journalists, the chief of the government merely said: "these movements are not widespread nationally and are limited to a few towns only". He spoke of groups who do not have the popular support of the people.

BeckiDover, OHAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5This book hit's the nail on the head!March 31, 2012BeckiDover, OHAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I felt as though Jocelyn was reading from my own journal. She was writing from the position of truly knowing and understanding the barriers that women feel about their bodies. More importantly she wrote with the Biblical truths that we tend to think don't apply to us, it's for that other woman. We are not perfect, and this book tells us that none of us are. It strongly encourages us that you don't have to be perfect to be loved by God.
I fall into the category of the men-o-pausal woman so I could certainly relate to so much of the "what we have to look forward to" portion of the book. And after reading it I still am looking forward to it. I had to laugh, because I could relate to so much of it.
We live in a world that is always full of comparisons, and this book addresses the things that most women battle.
I highly recommend this for every woman that has ever felt "less than perfect!"
IreneUnited States5 Stars Out Of 5Do these jeans make me look fat?January 26, 2012IreneUnited StatesQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Do These Jeans Make Me Look Fat? An interesting title for an interesting book. Author, Jocelyn Hamsher, is trying to get you away from depending on others opinions to find peace about your bodies and instead look to your Creator.
Using examples from her life and stories from friends she walks us through the steps to stop comparing ourselves to what the world says is a worthy woman to what the Bible says is a worthy woman. Knowing who you are in Christ and what He expects of us while we live in these earthly bodies will lead you in the right direction. Waking up and looking up instead of in the mirror can really change your outlook for the day.
Not only does this book teach you about not comparing yourself to others but it also goes to great lengths to teach you how your body changes over the years. Citing numerous statistics and surveys you will learn much about how the woman's body will change. You will better understand that getting older is not something you will do alone but is something you will have to accept! I liked the funny stories shared but also got a little discouraged by all the negative things that happen to your body. Of all the things shared there were really no solutions given except to just know the changes were coming and get mentally prepared for them.
Overall I thought the book was very educational as well as thoughtfully written. Even with taking my spirits down a bit with all the body aging information I still gave this book a 5/5 stars. I did this because the information shared is very informative and worth at least one read!
I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

Porous crystals called metal-organic frameworks, with their nanoscopic pores and incredibly high surface areas, are excellent materials for natural gas storage.
Sugar, salt, alcohol and a little serendipity led a Northwestern University research team to discover a new class of nanostructures that could be used for gas storage and food and medical technologies.
Chemists from UCLA and South Korea report the "ultimate porosity of a nano-material," achieving world records for both porosity and carbon dioxide storage capacity in an important class of materials known as MOFs, or metal–organic frameworks.
UCLA chemists report creating a synthetic "gene" that could capture heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions, which contribute to global warming, rising sea levels and the increased acidity of oceans.
Since the Industrial Revolution, levels of carbon dioxide---a major contributor to the greenhouse effect---have been on the rise, prompting scientists to search for ways of counteracting the trend. One of the main strategies is removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the flue exhaust of power plants, using porous materials that take up the gas as it travels up the flue.

(BARCELONA, Spain) -- Private Media Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PRVT - news), a worldwide leader in premium-quality adult entertainment products, services and Internet content, is pleased to announce revenues of $25.0 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2001, compared to $17.3 million for the same period last year, an increase of 45%.
Net income for the period was $7.0 million compared to $3.6 million for the comparable period last year, an increase of 97%. The increase in revenue and net income for this period has been achieved by continued growth in sales generated from new media (Broadcasting, Internet and DVD), which also contribute better margins by leveraging content also used for videos and magazines. The Company expects to continue to benefit from the trend towards new media and expects the current year to show considerable growth in revenue and, more significantly in net income.
Sales of videos increased slightly during the period and sales of magazines remained approximately the same as those achieved last year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 total new media sales increased 108%, to $14.9 million, in comparison with September 30, 2000.
For the three month period ended September 30, 2001, revenues and net income increased 29% and 33% over the equivalent period last year, to $8.1 million and $2.1 million respectively. The new media division accounted for sales of $5.5 million, an increase of 75%.
Berth Milton, Chairman and CEO commented: ``Quarter after quarter, we continue to demonstrate our ability to consistently deliver substantial growth in revenues and earnings. Our growth in sales and net income were slightly above our expectations.''
Mr. Milton continued: ``We believe that our third quarter results further reinforce the viability of our long-term strategic vision at Private Media. Going forward we are focused on accelerating the roll-out of our broadcasting and broadband platforms as well as introducing mobile services for GPRS, 3G and other devices such as PDAs.''

When you've spent as many hours unpacking the text of the nation's founding documents as we have, you start to notice how many concerns that were pressing when the United States was founded remain unresolved today. This is obvious with the U.S. Constitution, most of whose clauses even, we discovered, the relatively unsung 3rd Amendment have come up for judicial workouts within living memory.
But you can still find modern relevance and ancient puzzles even in the poison-pen letter the founders sent off to King George III on this day more than two centuries ago. Herewith, a more permeable Declaration of Independence, linked to 232 years worth of trouble but focusing mainly on the questions, controversies and goofs that are still with us. This exercise may strike some (or if we're lucky, all) readers as infuriating or tendentious, but our purpose is not to prove any political point, nor is it to build a case for or against any current leaders. If we have a goal (beyond having some fun with history), it's to show how even the most widely agreed upon national narratives can still foment the kind of discord that fuels both journalism and democracy.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

Boston Red Sox hitting coach Greg Colbrunn suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage before Wednesday night's game against the Cleveland Indians but is expected to recover, the team announced.
Colbrunn experienced dizziness before the game and was admitted to the Cleveland Clinic, where he will remain for "the next few days" for further evaluation, the Red Sox said in a statement Thursday.
Dr. Larry Ronan, the Red Sox's medical director, and physicians from the Cleveland Clinic expect Greg to make a "good recovery," according to the statement.
The 44-year-old is in his second season as the Red Sox's hitting coach.

Es Bauló Petit Hotel
The Es Bauló Petit Hotel in Majorca is an enchanting 4 star family hotel in the northern part of the island. Situated at the popular bay of Alcudia, it offers its guests beautiful beaches, lush nature, much freedom and a lot of privacy. Ideal for a romantic twosome getaway or a Majorca vacation with your family!
The apartment hotel Es Bauló Petit is located in the former fishing village Ca'n Picafort, which is now mainly sustained by tourism. But the 4 star Majorca hotel does not belong to the many huge and anonym tourist hotels built in the 60ies and 70ies because of the beautiful beaches: The Es Bauló Petit Hotel much more resembles a Majorcan villa and is located away from the hustle of the inner part of the Ca'n Picafort, in line with the hotels philosophy: "At the heart of the events but apart from the tourist bustle."
7% taxes are included in the room rates.

CORONA DEL MAR – Radioactive seawater, contaminated when a tsunami and earthquake damaged the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, is expected to hit Southern California beaches this summer.
To prepare for this, Steven Manley, a Cal State Long Beach biology professor, will launch a scientific study including more than 20 universities and labs. Participants in Kelp Watch 2014 will harvest 15 pounds of giant and bull kelp from 35 sites along the West Coast, from Baja to Sitka Alaska.
Scientists will study the extent of contamination in the ocean's kelp forests three times this year. The kelp will be dried and ground. Scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory at California Berkeley will then test it for radiation levels. Data from the research will be posted on a website expected to be active by March.
Manley, of Laguna Niguel, launched the project to keep the public informed on radiation in kelp along California beaches. In Orange County kelp is found along beaches with rock outcroppings such as Corona Del Mar, Crystal Cove State Beach, Laguna Beach and Dana Point.
There is a large bed of kelp that blankets ocean water from the San Clemente Pier to beaches at Camp Pendleton, including near the now decommissioned San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
The project follows an earlier study Manley did on kelp shortly after the Fukushima reactor accident in March 2011. In that study he discovered short-lived radioactive iodine in kelp just a month after the reactor accident.
That radioactivity came over from Japan by steam released into the atmosphere by the crippled reactor. While the radioactivity from rain was low, there were measured amounts inthe ocean plant. Manley said while radioactive iodine has a short life, he detected levels of it in the kelp for at least a month after the reactor accident.
Manley found the largest concentration 250-fold higher than before the accident. Samples taken a month later showed no detectable radiation. Manley said the radiation had no known effect on kelp, fish or marine life.
Still after his study published, emails flooded his inbox and calls rang from surfers and beachgoers from Japan and Australia, asking if being in the ocean or eating seafood posed risks. Public concern prompted him to undertake the new study.
"As every year passes it becomes more diluted but it also becomes more widespread," he said. "People should know the amount of radioactive material in the kelp.
The seawater expected to strike California shores this summer has been traveling about 1-3 mph. It's expected to continue flowing until 2016.
"I think the amount will be small, but small doesn't mean insignificant," Manley said. "It is imperative that we monitor this coastal forest for any radioactive contaminants that will be arriving this year in the ocean currents from Fukushima disaster."
Kelp, a complex ecosystem, has long been viewed as a barometer of ocean health. The kelp's large surface canopy and long, fast-growing stalks act as sponges, as they're bathed in seawater. Monitoring what the kelp is sucking up will give scientists an idea of the health of the marine eco systems.
Manley said he expects to find concentration of cesium isotopes − a man-made substance in nuclear reactors. He sees kelp as a wall of defense for the shoreline.
In recent years, especially in Laguna Beach, swimmers, surfers, stand-up paddleboarders and marine watchers have seen kelp forests rebound. They report seeing more abalone, sheephead, lobster, tide pool life and shorebirds.
Laguna's 7.2 miles of beaches last year was among a handful in the state that are part of the nation's most expansive marine reserves. Laguna is the only citywide marine protected area in the U.S.

Today's Interviews:
Federal News Radio
The three agencies responsible for overseas contingency contracting say they've made major progress against cutting waste and improving management over the last several years. But they also say a lot of work remains. Federal News Radio's Jared Serbu says, some recent inspector general reports show stark examples of misspent funds.
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
When federal employees retire, they often take their knowledge with them. Their replacements have to learn the lessons all over again. The Office of Personnel Management and the American Federation of Government Employees are teaming up to change that. Federal News Radio's executive editor Jason Miller joined Tom and Emily with a preview of a governmentwide mentoring hub.
Bloomberg Government
Send one open-records request to different agencies and get very different responses. That's what Bloomberg reporter Danielle Ivory found out. She asked departments to release details of trips that their leaders took in fiscal 2011. Some were quick to respond, but she's still waiting for others. Danielle Ivory joined Tom and Emily to talk about this test of Freedom of Information Act offices.
Research Director
IDC Government Insights
For several years, federal technology managers have been working under a policy called cloud-first. Instead of building new data centers or adding to existing ones, CIOs are supposed to buy online computer capacity from cloud providers. But cloud adoption has been a little slow to take off. The evidence? Federal spending on clouds. Shawn McCarthy has taken a careful look at this spending. He's research director for IDC Government Insights, and joined Tom and Emily.

Rainbow 6: Patriots could slip to the next generation says Ubisoft
Ubisoft has conceded that the ambitious next instalment in the Rainbow 6 series Rainbow 6: Patriots may not appear on the current generation.
CEO of the French publisher/developer, Yves Guillemot stated that the game was definitely still in development despite the games development team shedding some key staff early this year.
He said, "The only thing I can say is that we have a good team working on it, and it's really looking good. So when it will come, it will surprise the industry," adding that there would be a good chance that it could be a next-gen title.
Guillemot is still hopeful that the previously revealed heavy focus on tough moral decisions will feature strongly in the game when it arrives.
He added, "It's for sure something we spoke a lot about. You have to make decisions and that implies lots of ethical choices. In the decisions you make, we have to define where you can go, and there were lots of discussions on what's possible, what should be possible, what shouldn't be possible. But that's what is interesting with the concept - being able to give a choice to the person who is playing."
Officially Rainbow 6: Patriots is still scheduled for a 2013 release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Thanks Polygon.
