Keo.co.za brings you the Springbok player ratings from the Tri-Nations Test in Perth.
Player ratings out of 10:
15 Ruan Pienaar – 6
Solid showing from the utility man. Didn't provide the attacking spark Peter de Villiers would have hoped for, though. Kicked accurately enough, but did nothing to suggest he's a better option than Frans Steyn.
14 JP Pietersen – 6
Some early defensive errors and a shocking kick that eventually led to the Aussies' first try, but improved as the contest progressed. Was subbed 15 minutes from time with a hamstring injury that could prove serious.
13 Jaque Fourie – 7
Ran a great line to earn the Springboks their second try and went looking for work in broken play. Also proved an imposing defensive force as the South Africans rushed the Aussies at the scrums.
12 Jean de Villiers – 7
Powerful and penetrative. Always gained ground when he attacked the space between Matt Giteau and Adam Ashley-Cooper which kept the Bok machine rolling forward. His chase on Fourie du Preez's kick forced Peter Hynes to err, allowing Bryan Habana to retrieve a loose ball and score.
11 Bryan Habana – 7
Defended solidly and was determined to stay involved. Fought to make yards with ball in hand, and took his first try well. Dropped a ball over the tryline, but made amends seconds later when he rounded off a beautiful backline move.
10 Morné Steyn – 6
Missed two shots at goal including an absolute sitter, but it was a game where goal-kicking accuracy was not required. Had a hand in the first two tries, delivering a decisively flat ball to Jaque Fourie in the second. Some nice touches, but not as dominant as in previous games.
9 Fourie du Preez – 9
The Springbok kingpin was at his accurate best in this fixture. Slick service from the base of the ruck ensured the Boks attacked with speed, and a pin-point kicking game had the Aussies under huge pressure. Showed good vision to score the first try and created South Africa's third with a high bomb that Lachie Turner bumbled. Class.
8 Pierre Spies – 6
Crossed the advantage line when the Bok scrum went forward, but struggled when the tight-five were under pressure. Mixed some good carries with elementary errors like a dropped high ball. Needs to be more consistent.
7 Juan Smith – 7
The Boks' best forward, and the shiner he sported on his departure will tell you why. Tackled ferociously and obliterated would be tacklers with a direct running style. A dependable target at the back of the lineout, he also managed to steal a couple off the Aussies' throw.
6 Heinrich Brüssow – 6
The breakdown wasn't as decisive as expected, and so Brussow wasn't a massive factor.
5 Victor Matfield – 6
The mastermind of the lineout had a fantastic first half, but was less effective in the second when Botha departed. Also missed a tackle that resulted in the Aussies' final try.
4 Bakkies Botha – 7
Some good lineout takes, strong mauling and attack-snuffling tackling. What else would anybody expect?
3 John Smit – 6
The Bok captain carried the ball strongly and was aggressive in initiating the counter-ruck at the breakdown, but was nailed by referee Bryce Lawrence at the scrum.
2 Bismarck du Plessis – 6
A solid showing from the belligerent Bok No 2, but not as physically imposing as we've come to expect.
1 Beast Mtawarira – 6
Like Smit, was penalised heavily by Lawrence at the scrum. Otherwise, it was another industrious performance around the park from one of the Boks' most hard-working players.
16 Chiliboy Ralepelle -
Not on long enough to be rated.
17 Jannie du Plessis -
Not on long enough to be rated.
18 Andries Bekker – 6
Some strong carries and defensive hits, but it was the latter that resulted in an injury. From the pain evident on his face, he could miss the next game with a shoulder problem.
19 Schalk Burger – 7
Was omnipresent at ruck-time throwing himself at the opposition with characteristic gusto. Smith got through a lot of work in the first 60, and Burger ensured the Boks lost nothing with his substitution.
20 Ricky Januarie -
Not on long enough to be rated.
21 Adi Jacobs – 5
Forced a knock on when he chased a Fourie du Preez kick and spilled one ball himself, but didn't really receive many opportunities.
22 Frans Steyn -
Not on long enough to be rated.

JUST START. That's my motto for 2013.
Too often, good ideas are never put into action. We want to know the ending before we even begin. We worry about possible outcomes and focus on the negative ones. We rationalize and over-analyze. We embrace distractions. We do everything, but start.
I like the old proverb—a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This year, I intend to take that first step in so many ways.

5 Responses to Just Start – My Motto for 2013
Libby says:
You said it! I am putting less on the plate this year as far as the number of items, but there will be better follow through on the things that I do take on.
Reid says:
Short yet inspiring and open-ended. Just start…hmmmm
JC says:
Good way to start the year my favorite red head (well after john's daughter addie) I'm back on the road – see you out there!
Steven Shepard says:
On a recent TWIP Podcast, wildlife photographer Charlie MacPherson (www.amazingimage.com) made this observation: "It's not over until you quit. But if you quit, it's all over." Truer words were never spoken!
David E. says:
Amen. I'm taking this to heart. There are a couple of projects I have in mind and I'm just going to go for it.

Rangers not focusing on new deal for Darvish
JAN 26, 2014 12:41p ET
ARLINGTON, Texas â With every week that passes Yu Darvish looks more and more like the best pitching bargain in baseball.
Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw can make up to $215 million over the next seven years with the Los Angeles Dodgers thanks to his new deal. Masahiro Tanaka, who hasn't pitched in the majors, made Darvish's contract look diminutive with his seven year, $155-million deal with the New York Yankees.
Despite those deals, the Rangers don't feel an immediate need to make any changes to Darvish's original six year, $60-million deal.
"At some we'll sit point we'll sit down and talk just like we do it on everybody," Texas general manager Jon Daniels said. "He's still got four years on his deal. I don't see a rush necessarily. We'll address is at the right time. Right now we'll just focus on getting him into camp."
The Rangers owe Darvish $41 million over the next four seasons but that deal could be up after three years if Darvish meets performance incentives tied to the Cy Young voting.
Daniels hasn't talked to Darvish about a new deal but he knows his ace is aware of the money being handed out to other top pitchers.
"When you're at the top of your profession in any area you're always aware of what the other guys in a similar category get," Daniels said. "It's human nature for sure."
As for Tanaka, Daniels said the club had interest in the right-hander but not as much as some were speculating. He also wasn't surprised by the huge contract Tanaka landed.
"We thought the total investment ($175 million with posting fee) would be above (Shin-Soo) Choo," he said.
The Rangers big free agent splash this offseason was giving Choo $130 million over seven years.

Originally written on Celtics Life | Last updated 12/8/12
WEEI Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo's ankles are "fine" after twice tweaking them in Friday night's 95-94 overtime loss to the 76ers. He is expected to play in Saturday night's rematch in Boston. Paul Pierce landed on Rondo's ankle while grabbing a rebound with 1:47 remaining in regulation, but Rondo limped through it and continued to play. Then, on Rondo's failed baseline jumper as overtime expired, both ankles buckled as he slippped on a Sixers decal on the Wells Fargo Center floor. His Celtics teammates rushed to his aid, helping him to his feet and off the court. "He left the locker room walking fine," the Celtics media relations staff relayed, "and [coach] Doc [Rivers] nor our trainer [Ed Lacerte] mentioned anything." Rondo missed a game against the Nets this season with a sprained ankle, and he has missed extended stretches in both of the past seasons with the same injury. Well that's good news. Tickets still available for tonight's game here. Credit EK for the awesome R...

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 11/8/14
Almost everyone is going to pick the Mets to finish n the division. That's a given. They are looking up and down at team rosters, and giving their projections based on the players on those rosters. A roster is simply a list of names. It can't tell you if a player is going to have an up year or a down year, it can't tell you if a player is going to get injured or not, nor can it tell you if the guys on that roster have the heart and determination it takes to win baseball games. So while the analysts make their predictions based on names on a roster because those names are associated with better baseball ability, there is really no telling what can happen over the course of a 162 game season. But who will replace Dickey's wins??? Another flawed way to try and determine whether or not a team can win a specific number of games is by looking at the starting rotation, trying to project how many wins each pitcher will have, and then adding them up. Another major mistake is asking oneself w...

Cities, which already host half the world's population, are predicted to absorb nearly all of the growth of population over the next three decades. The concentration of humanity in relatively small spaces brings with it enormous environmental challenges, particularly in the low-income and middle-income countries. Among many factors that influence the quality of the urban environment, biodiversity is arguably the least appreciated. It is welcome, therefore, that the key role played by biodiversity in providing a host of ecosystem services to people is being emphasised during 2010, declared as the International Year of Biodiversity by the United Nations General Assembly. In the cities, green areas reduce pollution and improve the quality of air; wetlands break down waste and recycle it; and parks and woodlands with their colourful flora and fauna help city-dwellers connect with nature in their backyard. City governments must reflect on the ways in which the negative impact of urbanisation on biodiversity can be minimised, and biodiversity enhanced. As conurbations and megacities grow, nature-provided commons such as air, water, and green areas need to be zealously protected. Cities occupy less than three per cent of the world's land surface and their activities can be regulated. On the other hand, the number of cities with a population of over a million is increasing rapidly, leaving a disproportionately large ecological footprint on natural resources extracted from elsewhere.
It is interesting that several cities, including Curitiba, Nagoya, Brussels, and Paris, are testing a new framework to assess the health of their urban biodiversity. This tool, the Singapore Index on Cities' Biodiversity created under the Convention on Biological Diversity of the United Nations Environment Programme, should be of great interest to India. The index, which has some core indicators such as birds, butterflies, and plants, and a broader range of optional indicators, including mammals, can lead to a good assessment of the stressors that are depleting cities of biodiversity (such as unregulated building, loss of green areas, and wetlands), and thus affecting ecosystem services. Many cities in developing countries, particularly those in the tropics, can benefit from an honest appraisal of the biodiversity they retain. Such data are vital, because research shows that compensatory efforts to replace lost ecology are inferior in biodiversity terms. Artificial wetlands, for instance, cannot maintain the same level of ecological function as natural ones as they lack the full range of life forms. Cities stand greatly to benefit from enhanced biodiversity, and mayors and governments must factor that into their development plans.

11-year-old writes iPhone app for charity
Pre-teen programmer writes iPhone app and donates proceeds to charity.
Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 02:00 PM
Last year, Cameron Cohen had an injury that had him down and out of sports and activities for a few months. During that time, Cameron started learning about computers. According to his father, he was reading "anything he could get his hands on" on the topic and even watching Stanford University professors on iTunes and scouring the Web for articles on programming. The result? The 11-year-old taught himself several different programming languages and decided to write his very own iPhone app.
This kid didn't just teach himself how to program; he also managed to get his app approved by Apple, something many adults can't seem to manage. The app, which is a painting/drawing program, was approved by Apple for sale on its App Store in December.
The app, iSketch, is a drawing and painting program that lets you choose brushes and colors, and lets you send your drawings to friends via e-mail.
The best part of the story is not just that Cameron is wicked smart, or that he made lemonade out of lemons when he couldn't get play sports. The best part is that Cameron hasn't forgotten all of the help he received in recovering from his injury, and he's donating some of the proceeds from the sale of iSketch to the children's hospital that helped him.
"Inspired by the care I received at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital, I have dedicated a portion of the proceeds from the sales of iSketch to purchase entertainment and electronic items for Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA's Child Life/Child Development programs in Westwood and Santa Monica so that pre-teens and teens will have additional age-appropriate options available to them during their hospital stays," says Cameron in a statement on his Website, CCC Development.
The iSketch app sells for 99-cents in the iTunes store.

The fifteen (15) entrants whose Entry receives the highest total number of "Likes" will advance to the "Final Round" (each a "Finalist"). In the event the tally of "Likes" for the fifteenth place Finalist results in a tie, a panel of judges will evaluate all tied entries in accordance with the judging criteria set forth below and the tied entry that receives the highest score among all tied entries will be deemed a Finalist. If you think that any entry infringes your intellectual property rights, click here if you wish to report it http://www.sears.com/cstermsofservice/nb-100000000022530.

16 Aug Fashion Talk: R&B Recording Artist Qui Qui Martin
by ATFDC Contributor Barbara Collins
Let's take a walk down memory lane and take it back to the early 00's when the girl group Isyss was introduced to us with their first hits "Day and Night" and "Single for the Rest of My Life". The all-girl group was signed to Arista which was later disbanded after one album, and we never heard anything from the girls since. However, the lead singer Qui Qui Martin has re-emerged into the music scene as she prepares for the release of her first solo album! Miss Martin, who is known for her amazing voice, is finally ready to let her vocals shine with her debut album "A Melodic Seduction".
All Things Fashion DC caught up with the stylish singer for this interview and discussed her love for fall fashion, growing up in the DMV, life after Isyss, and much more!
All Things Fashion DC (ATFDC): Miss Martin it's been a long time since we heard or seen you. How have you been?
Qui Qui Martin (QM): I've been great! Been working on my first solo album as well as a few book writing projects!
ATFDC: That's great. So I read that you went to school in Baltimore?
QM: Yes, I went to Baltimore School for the Performing Arts.
ATFDC: What did you study while you attend the Baltimore School for the Arts?
QM: I was music major. I studied classical music as well as piano, music theory, and music literature.
ATFDC: Are you originally from Maryland?
QM: Yes, I was born and raised in Baltimore, md but I moved to Los Angeles when I was 16 and have been here ever since.
ATFDC: So you're a DMV girl! How was in like growing up in Baltimore?
QM: I love my city! I'm proud to have been born and raised in Baltimore City! I've been blessed to have a supportive family who kept me in activities growing up. This ensured that I stayed focused on my talent and out of trouble.
ATFDC: We have to do some fashion talk! (laughs) What are looking forward to wearing this fall and what are fall must haves?
QM: Winter is personally my favorite season as far as dressing is concerned. My top 5 fashion items are thigh boots, scarves, turtle neck dresses, ankle boots, and UGGS. In the winter, I love that you can dress in layers and wear beautiful scarves and tights.
ATFDC: Who are your favorite designers?
QM: I love Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Christian Louboutin, and D&G.
ATFDC: So let's talk about the group Isyss. How did the group form?
QM: Most think Isyss was a put together group, but we actually all met through mutual friends.
ATFDC: Were all of you ladies friends before the group started?
QM: Yes, we were.
ATFDC: You were the lead singer. Was there a lot of pressure put on you?
QM: Definitely, I had to work more than the rest in the studio since I was the lead singer. I also had to make sure I did my best live since I was lead on the majority of the songs.
ATFDC: What do you remember about recording the debut album "The Way We Do"?
QM: I remember being very excited and anxious. The album process happened so fast and I was trying to take it all in. Sometimes I felt like pinching myself because my dreams from being a little girl were finally coming true.
ATFDC: Unfortunately the album didn't make the impact that you all hoped for. What were some of the reasons for the low album sales?
QM: Definitely lack of promotion. We worked hard and hoped for higher sales but I'm still thankful for the experience.
ATFDC: What happened after being dropped from Arista? We didn't hear too much from the group.
QM: Ardena left the group and we tried to continue on, but it didn't feel right without her. After making the decision to move on we all started doing separate things.
ATFDC: Do you still talk to any of the other band members?
QM: Yes. We are all still very close. My birthday recently passed and they all were there to celebrate with me.
ATFDC: So now you are pursuing a solo career. Has it been a big transition?
QM: Singing has always been natural for me. I started out by myself singing behind church pulpits and wherever else I was asked so being solo was always the ultimate goal. I'm very excited to finally be embarking on my solo career.
ATFDC: When can we expect your solo album "A Melodic Seduction"?
QM: My album is slated for a February 2013 release.
ATFDC: Can you tell us who you have worked with on this album?
QM: I have worked with a lot of talented producers on this album; Kwame, who has produced for Mary J. Blige, Keyshia Cole, and Fantasia. I have also been working with Kendrick Dean, who has produced records for Mariah Carey, Chris Brown, and Usher.
ATFDC: When will you release your first single from the album?
QM: My first single will be released November 20, 2012.
ATFDC: How can your fans stay connected with you?
QM: My fans can stay connected with me on twitter @Quiquimartin as well as by subscribing to my YouTube channel Quiquimartinmusic.
Barbara is a sophomore at Old Dominion University, majoring in International Studies with a minor in Fashion Merchandising. She also writes for CocoKouture Magazine and would love to pursue a career in the fashion industry as a writer for a top fashion magazine

BorrowLenses Reviews the Canon Rebel T5iGear Talk
First, a confession: I'm a Nikon shooter. However, the first digital camera I ever really learned how to use was a Rebel T2i (was a film shooter prior to that). I have had a soft spot for the Rebel series ever since, despite being currently married to a D800. They are fantastic cameras and the T5i is no exception but, to be honest, it just isn't at all exceptional when compared to its 2012 predecessor, the T4i.
In comparison to the T4i, the T5i…
- Maintains the same 18.0 megapixel CMOS sensor as its predecessor, the T4i.
- Maintains the same hybrid sensor that allows for that smooth and quiet continuous auto focusing in STM (STepping Motor) lenses.
- Adds Scene Mode to the modes dial. Also, the mode dial spins all the way around. Small change, but nice.
- Maintains the exact same LCD menu as in the T4i.
- Changes how one accesses the different Scene Modes. I feel it is now slightly more difficult on the T5i. On the T4i, you can select HDR Backlight Control, Handheld Night Scene and Night Portrait on the dial itself. On the T5i, the dial must be set to SCN and then you have to navigate between the above-listed scenes using a combination of the Q-button/print button and the scroll wheel. Boo to that. My personal theory for why they set it up this way is that now firmware updates can include new Scene Modes without the dial being considered out-of-date in its labeling. If Scene Modes are your thing then this could prove exciting for you.
- Maintains the exact same menu, info, and Live View buttons. Back panel navigation is the same and so is the ISO button. If you ignore the dial wheel then the cameras are identical.
- Maintains same 1080p video, mic, and 3.0″ Vari-Angle Touch Screen.
- Maintains same 9 Point All Cross-Type AF System and ISO (100-12800, expandable to 25600).
Other observations:
- Supposedly you can preview and apply a Creative Filter at the point of shooting but I haven't been able to figure out how. From my perspective, applying a Creative Filter behaves exactly as it does for the T4i. Happy to be enlightened on this.
- Marginally heavier–20.5 ounces compared to the T4i's 19.2.
- Remember that weird thing where some of the T4i's grips turned white? That won't be happening to the T5i. Right, Canon?
My final take:
I would argue that people are a little more excited for the new kit lens these come with than for the camera itself. The new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM is fast and quiet and the STepping Motor is super handy when using auto-focus while recording a movie. Fortunately, if you already have a T4i you can simply rent the new lens from us on its own!
So what good is this camera? For a T4i owner, not much. It is about $100 more than the T4i was last year (body only) and it just doesn't seem worth the upgrade. But if you're getting tired of your older Rebel this T5i is certainly great and the T4i may continue to go down in price as a result of this release. If you are a T3i owner, click here to see our quick video comparison between the performances of the T3i and T4i.
Right now the T5i is only marginally more to rent than the T4i so it is worth testing out for yourself. Below are my test images comparing the T5i with the T4i (video tests to come later). As you can see from the images below, these cameras are pretty much at parity.
As a Rebel lover, I would love to see your images taken with any Rebel/Kiss camera.

I just recently upgraded to a 5d3 from my rebel T2i. Almost all of my work besides probably 5 images on my scenic page has been done with my old faithful T2i. Feel free to check it out. I thought about getting rid of the T2i but I think I will put it on my wall some day as a reminder of where I started.
Thanks for the review, T3i owner here, but want to see what the 70D brings (invested in a few EF-S lenses, cost prohibitve to jump to full frame). All T3i photos in my stream :). http://hdrvelocity.blogspot.com/
Great photos Eric.
Thanks Patrick!
I shoot with the Canon T4i just purchased in Feb Looks like I should not be too worried with the new version Here is my work https://www.facebook.com/TiffaniNelsonPhotography
"but, to be honest, it just isn't at all exceptional when compared to its 2012 predecessor, the T4i."
Wrong. Here's your oversight:
"Reintroduces the digital zoom (3x to 10x). This is kind of cool since that was missing in the T4i."
Although a video-only feature, this is an amazing option. f2.8 lenses remain f2.8 lense at 3x, and there is no digital zooming. It's simply cropping to the final actual 1920×1080 pixels on the imager. Arguably the sweet spot of the lens, and can you say NO MOIRE??????
If I had a dollar for the number of shooters and shots that have been ruined by the 5dmkII moire (and other cameras) I would probably own a ______.
Please take note: a single 17-55 f2.8 image stabilized Canon lens, at 3x covers similar range to the coveted 70-200 IS mkII on a 5d (do the math). It's incredibly useful for shooters (video-only, not stills remember) as you can go darn wide at 17mm (crop) to 165mm (3x) all at f.28 stabilized on one camera body. For documentary stuff happening before your eyes, this is great. And a 70-200L f2.8 IS II lens becomes an image stabilized 600mm animal on this camera body. That's like shooting a 900mm+ image stabilized lens at f2.8 on a 5dmkII when you factor in the crop. I've done it hand held over and over in video mode and clients are freaked out when they get the shots. There are drawbacks (focus throw is very narrow at 3x) but the fact that one or two lenses can do SO MUCH at such high quality in the right hands is amazing.
Some people don't even know this feature exists, and they don't realize that at 3x, it's still full resolution. It's a great tool for video.
When this was missing on the t4i, even WITH the great additional features (though not all they were cracked up to be…the autofocus is anything BUT smooth…)…the fact that the t4i left out the 3x crop mode was enough to keep it out of the hands of many geurilla shooters (with 5dMkii bodies and 7D bodies sleeping in their bags…HELLO ARTICULATING SCREEN = GOOD SHOTS)…
*by the way, a t3i, IN VIDEO TERMS, is simply a 7D with articulating screen in a lighter, smaller, cheaper body, and also a 60D in a lighter, smaller, cheaper body.
t4i has a better sensor than t3i, but left out 3x mode. This crippled it for the key NICHE secret 3x weapon. But if the t5i truly added this feature back, look out. This is truly a secret weapon for video. Add some L glass and some old Nikkor primes and you're off and running.
Given 3x add on, I say t5i = MAJOR bonus over t4i. Especially if it gets Magic Lantern. Magic Lantern is the most amazing thing ever. Another discussion.
[…] Borrowlenses.com, the leader in DSLR lens rentals recently reviewed the new Canon Rebel T5i before it ships out. And from their review, I gather that they're a bit disappointed. I know that I've complained in a previous blog that Canon seems to pretty much be putting the same/very similar internal camera into a new body (T2i, T3i, T4i), and it looks like this may be the case with the T5i as well. Borrowlenses says if you have a T4i, don't buy in to the "upgrade" "So what good is this camera? For a T4i owner, not much. It is about $100 more than the T4i was last year (body only) and it just doesn't seem worth the upgrade." […]

Soft and Lightweight Knit
By Lily
from BC
Very nice soft and lightweight knit type feel to the fabric.Great looking pattern.Not bright white, but a soft white pattern. Fit is nice, although a knit type of fabric it is cool enough to wear in the spring. The only thing is that I find it gets some static and is a bit clingy because of the type of fabric, but overall it is a very nice casual dress. Great with black boots!I am a medium but ordered large for a slightly looser fit. True to size I would say.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The 42nd ISOBM annual Congress
Biology – Diagnostics – Therapy
The Congress will be held under the patronage of the
PRESIDENT of the REPUBLIC OF POLAND
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the International Society of Oncology and Biomarkers I am delighted to invite you to attend
and actively participate in the 42nd ISOBM Congress to be held in
Zakopane, Poland, 3-7 October 2015.
With the theme 'Oncology in the Biomarker Era: Biology – Diagnostics – Therapy', the Congress links all fields of cancer research and oncology. The fascinating world of biomarkers is where scientists, laboratory medicine specialists and clinicians meet. Biomarkers hold out promise for improving the clinical outcomes of cancer patients. For this reason, the theme challenges us to translate new findings into clinical practice, and invites interdisciplinary and innovatory approaches.
The latest findings in cancer research, diagnosis and clinical oncology will also be given a platform in an exhibition, with a varied range of commercial exhibitors, together with research and oncology-related organisations, all showcasing their products and services.
The participants will have an opportunity to exchange ideas and expertise in an international forum, to engage in collaboration, to meet with friends and colleagues from all over the world, and to hear lectures delivered by prominent leaders in the field of Cancer Research, Oncology and Biomarkers.
The prestigious ABBOTT Award and 5 Young Investigators Awards will be presented during the Congress.
Finally, in addition to what is certain to be a stimulating Congress program, participants will also be able to take advantage of exciting social activities. Zakopane, the Congress site, is a beautiful and well-known Polish Tatra mountain resort, renowned for its unique architectural style and for the hospitality of the locals. It is located 100 km south from Kraków (Cracow), the capital of Poland until the XVIth century, with a magnificent Royal Castle and one of the oldest universities in Europe.
You will certainly have a good time!
I look forward to meeting with you at this unique event.
Magdalena Chechlinska, PhD, Dr. Habil.
President, ISOBM 2015 CONGRESS

The abdication of Britain's King Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor, to marry an American divorcee named Wallis Simpson seems to have all the trappings of a romantic legend. After all, he famously announced in December 1936 that he found it impossible to continue on the throne "without the help and support of the woman I love."
The African-American struggle continues in every corner of the nation, from small towns like Ferguson, Missouri, to the boroughs of New York. Thus, Black History Month arrives at a critical time in America. The question is: Can we learn from history? These selections shed new light on the black experience and offer perspectives on the often painful evolution of race relations in America.
With every passing day, our world seems ever more gender-neutral. Nevertheless, some topics still fit pretty comfortably into the category of the "historical purview of men," and some fine new publications have arrived to stake their claim as appropriate holiday gifts for special guys.
This fall, music keeps playing around in our heads thanks to a crop of books by and about some of rock's most elusive artists, as well as its most treasured songs.
Fifty years after the landmark passage of the Civil Rights Act, two new books capture the history of those tumultuous times. The story of the law's passage is not just about the legislative process, though its approval by Congress was anything but a foregone conclusion. It's a story about grassroots activism, unexpected allies, the clash of personalities and political posturing. It's about finally putting an end to institutional racism and beginning the slow process towards justice and reconciliation.
The past is packed with remarkable women whose achievements deserve special recognition. Just in time for Women's History Month, three new books provide in-depth looks at a few of the courageous, far-sighted women who served as early champions of change. Inspiring narratives about friendship, kinship and the quest for equality, these compelling books salute a group of winning women who were ahead of their time.
African Americans have been struggling for independence, equality and respect from the moment they were brought to the New World in chains. As that struggle continues today, it's instructive to look back on our turbulent history to learn from the past and hopefully improve on the future. The five books featured here can help us to do just that, examining historical themes that serve as milestones on the journey of progress.
Three newly released books remind us that history is more than just a series of big moments.

Woods confirms involvement in group's bid to buy Coyotes
PHOENIX -- Former Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods is confirming that he is working "behind the scenes" with a group that wants to take over ownership of the Phoenix Coyotes.
Appearing on KTAR's "Arizona's Morning News Weekend" Show, Woods could not definitely confirm the identity of the group. But he did hint that Ice Edge Holdings, which has tried to buy the team in the past, is who he is working with now.
"I represented Ice Edge in the past, so that's a pretty good clue," said Woods.
He's optimistic about the sale.
"There's a very real possibility here that you could have a top notch ownership that could come in, do a great job with the Coyotes, and maybe give Glendale a better financial deal and situation than they were contemplating," Woods said.
The group's efforts to buy the team were rekindled when former San Jose Sharks owner Greg Jamison failed to meet a deadline on a deal with Glendale to operate Jobing.com Arena.
Woods said he believes the group can work with Glendale's new Mayor Jerry Weiers to get the deal done. He said that the group he is working with has the resources to make the team a success in Glendale.
"They're going to be able to have the wherewithal to go out and put a great team on the ice. That's the goal here," Woods said. "It's good as a sports fan if you have owners that are in it for the long haul. You don't have to worry about �oh, they're going to move the team or this or that.'"
Woods said there should be more information about the potential purchase of the team in about two weeks.

At a coffe bar they sell this, so I was inspired to create a raw version!
2 cup ice cubes
½ cup maple syrup or raw agave nectar
2 cup mixed berries
1½ lemons
First, run 1 cup of the berries through a juicer, and strain if necessary. Blend the strained juice with 3+ (depending on how sweet you want it) tablespoons of sweetener in a vita-mix. Set the juice in a separate container,
Next, to make the berry slushy part, run another 1/2 cup of berries through a juicer and strain. Blend this juice with 1 1/2 cup of ice cubes and 5 tablespoons of sweetener in a vita-mix until smooth slushy. Pour into a cup. Pour all of the berry juice that you made earlier over the berry slushy, and proceed to the next step.
Finally, to make the lemon slushy part, blend 1/2 cup ice cubes with all the juice squeezed from 1 1/2 lemons and 3+ tablespoons of sweetener(depending on how much sweet you like). Pour some lemon slushy over the berry slushy. Enjoy!
