First Look: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5
F/2.0 lens, focusing, HD video capture
Doesn't seem that exciting
Meet the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 - the very pinnacle of the company's compact camera range. The first thing you'll notice when you pick it up is that it's also nigh on the smallest Panasonic makes as well. With the same squared off Soviet looks that make it both appealing on the eye and the pocket as well.
As with the rest of these high powered mini-machines, the LX5 is also surprisingly easy and non-fiddly to use - certainly for the most part, anyway. If you didn't know any better, it'd look very much like a mid- to low-range snapper. It has a fairly standard five-button navigation array, quick menu control and playback mode with the only clues to something greater are the AF/AE lock, the jog wheel for your thumb and the dedicated video record on the top.
The insides are where this compact holds the aces though. The CCD sensor has been redesigned yet again from the improvements made on the LX3 and the decent 1/1.63-inch size unit offers a wider dynamic range, increased sensitivity and better colour saturation. Panasonic claims an increase of numbers around 30-40 per cent and, although it's impossible for the user to quantify the facts, we were certainly pleased with the depth of colour and even exposure offered across our pictures. Low light performance, we'll have to save for the full review.
The Leica optics don't disappoint either. There's the same F/2.0, 24mm Summicron lens as on the LX3, but they've managed to eke out the zoom in this compact to 3.8x, 90mm equivalent. It was a little frustratingly short after having had our hands on the Panasonic FZ100, but if you want more telephoto prowess, you'd best plump for another model.
What you get instead, though, is the promise with this wide aperture of all the fun of narrow depth of field photography. In practice, it takes a fair bit of menu delving to set it up and the jog wheel is a touch tight too the thumb to really come into its own here - the way the focus ring works on the Canon PowerShot S90 - but there are all sorts of other ways to get into the menus instead.
What the LX5 does have on the lens barrel is the aspect ratio selector, as appeared on the previous model, and one can't help wondering why Panasonic has bothered using such a good area for a function that not only just serves to reduce your effective sensor size, but can also be very easily achieved with cropping after the fact anyway.
The line of the LX5 isn't broken by a flash because the little devil is concealed in the body and, refreshingly, pops-up on your command rather than when the camera thinks it fit. There is a hot shoe for an external light source but it should offer reasonable results without, given that the camera ISO goes up to 3200 before pixel mixing kicks in - up through ISO 6400 and ISO 12800 where the options max out. Realistically, we found you can certainly be shooting at ISO 800 without bumping into any noise issues. Combine that with the wide lens aperture and you'll find you don't need that flash as often as you might think.
There's no burst shooting button on the chassis that you get with the FZ100 but that doesn't mean you can't get any shutter action out of the LX5. It shoots 2.5fps at full resolution but, slightly disappointingly, only for 5 frames. If what you're trying to record is fairly predictable then you'll be able to catch it clearly enough with the LX5, but otherwise it's not really what it's designed for. Naturally, you can sacrifice the detail for speed but, again, the bottom line is to opt for another camera if action shots are what you're after.
Where it is quick is in the focus and shutter response. The LX5 uses Panasonic's sonic speed AF technology which in practice means that you barely notice the thing having to work at all when it zeroes in. In fact, it gets to the point when you're not sure if it's actually performed the task as you scan about with the camera. A good bit of scrutinising of the very crisp 460k dot, 3-inch LED backed screen confirms it's all happened - even if the depth of the colour shown doesn't quite match what you see on your computer - before you get the almost instantaneous joy that is the 0.007 second shutter lag when you decide it's time to snap. It comes across as if using an SLR for responsiveness - only without the pleasure of the mirror flick.
Once you chuck in 720p video recording and the fact that the whole thing is just 271g, it makes for a rather nice package.
While it's hard to argue that the Panasonic LX5 doesn't have everything you could ask for in a high-end compact camera, it does rather feel that you're kept at arms length from it. It's an obvious machine to use for point and press activity and there's certainly enough automatic options to keep your shots properly exposed but, at the same time, there didn't seem a lot to enjoy about it for DLSR or higher knowledge users looking for a kick around camera to keep on them at all times. Most of the manual fun was just too far from your fingertips to make that possible.
All the same, we certainly wouldn't say that this isn't a good machine. It works well. It takes great pictures, but somehow it just isn't a whole lot of fun. People choosing it as a step up aren't going to learn a lot from it and enthusiasts might rather play with something else. If you want a top notch point and press though, this might be what you're after.

raisindot I'm sure that somewhere on the Con wesite info sheet that they would pick anyone up from a local airport which was Milwaukee or Madison, I have just cancelled my hotel booking as I can't make it now. buggerit so go and sink a pint for me.raisindot wrote:Catch-up wrote:Raisindot, Tina, any idea if you'll be there?
Even now, I'm still vacilating. Airfare to Milwaukee is surprisingly cheap and I could probably get a decent deal on a rental car. I just don't know if I have the get up and go to get up and go. Just the thought of even mentioning it to my SWMBO (who doesn't look very highly on my DW fandom already) and then have her mention where I'm going to our friends gives me the willies. Nor sure if I could face all the ribbing and strange expressions...and that's just from my own family!

The $448 million Powerball jackpot will be split by three winners, two of which were in New Jersey and one in Minnesota, according to lottery officials.
The winning numbers in Wednesday's drawing were 58-5-25-59-30 and powerball 32.
"Now the fun starts. Everybody will look at their tickets and see if it's them," Sue Dooley with the Multi-state Lottery Association said.
Winning tickets in New Jersey were sold at the Super Stop 'n Shop in South Brunswick, N.J., and Acme Markets in Little Egg Harbor, N.J. It is unclear where the winning ticket in Minnesota was sold.
Three tickets winning Match 5 were sold, in Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas, according to the Powerball website.
In total there were 4,051,009 winners in Wednesday's drawing, according to the Powerball website. Non-Jackpot winning totaled $66,895,831.
The jackpot earlier stood at $425 million, but grew and was announced at the higher number before the drawing.
Split that three ways, the person or people holding each of Wednesday's tickets could walk away with nearly $150 million each, before taxes.

The Association of Bolivian Artisans, or ASARBOLSEM, is an association of member groups based on the traditional cooperative model. Members play an important role in overseeing the activities of the organization.
ASARBOLSEM was established in 1989 to provide income opportunities for vulnerable people suffering the effects of el Niño and the loss of mining jobs. Until 1985, the mining industry dominated the Bolivian economy. By 1985, however, the mining sector was shrinking rapidly and many mines closed. This caused huge dislocation and migration forceds people to move to the La Paz and El Alto region in search of work. ASARBOLSEM provides training and product development assistance to artisans, as well as marketing support. Ten Thousand Villages began purchasing products from ASARBOLSEM in 2009.

New For 2015Everything. Although this generation of A3 has been on sale in Europe since 2012, this is the first time it's being imported to North America. It will go on sale in early 2014 as the 2015 Audi A3.
Vehicle SummaryThe A3 hatchback debuted in Europe in 1996 serving as an entry-level luxury hatchback positioned just below the A4 -- but Audi didn't begin selling the A3 in North America until the second-generation version debuted in 2003. That car, sold only as a four-door hatchback, was fitted with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as standard equipment, but Audi added the option of a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder -- a.k.a. TDI -- soon afterward. The third-generation A3 debuted overseas in 2012, but Audi waited to launch the car in the U.S. until it could craft a four-door sedan model.
OverviewYes, the new 2015 Audi A3 replaces the discontinued 2013 A3, but Audi execs frequently mention a different car when talking about the A3's successor: the A4. No, Audi's new entry-level A3 isn't going to replace the A4, but it is designed to appeal to the type of first-time luxury buyers who gravitated to the original mid-1990s A4 but may have been put off by its growth and maturation. That's a big reason why the A3, along with its performance-oriented S3 variant, were reworked into a four-door sedan before Audi brought it stateside.
When it first launched in North America, the previous A3 essentially had the premium subcompact market to itself. That isn't the case now, thanks to new entrants from Buick, Mercedes-Benz, and Acura, among others. But despite the added competition, Audi is still looking to carve out some new territory in the segment. A two-door convertible, which debuted at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor show, will be shipped stateside. We'll receive the A3 cabriolet with two engine choices -- a turbocharged 1.8-liter and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder -- paired with front- or all-wheel drive, respectively. Audi has also confirmed that the A3 E-tron, a plug-in-electric hybrid that offers up to 31 miles of pure electric driving, will also be sold in our market.
By and large, the majority of the 2015 Audi A3 models sold stateside will likely boast four doors and a notchback profile. A3 sedans will be sold with a 170-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, a more powerful 2.0-liter, and a 150-hp, 2.0-liter TDI turbo-diesel. Buyers jonesing for more power can always try an S3; its revised turbo 2.0-liter is said to produce more than 300 hp. Pricing has yet to be announced but is expected to be near that of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, which stickers at just under $30,000.
We won't have our first taste of the 2015 Audi A3 until early 2014, but for buyers looking for Audi's trademark design, technology, and performance -- yet on a budget -- the A3 may resonate like no other Audi.

Delinquent Rutland restaurant closesBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | March 19,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo The South Station Restaurant on Monday.Its unclear why the South Station Restaurant in Rutland is closed but there is evidence that the eatery owed tax money to the city and the state.
The popular restaurant and location of numerous civic and political functions closed suddenly Monday.
A note taped to the front door advised members of the Rutland Rotary Club that their lunchtime meeting Monday had been moved.
Another note taped to the inner door advised that the restaurant would be closed Monday due to technical difficulties but added optimistically, See you soon.
Owner William Gillam Jr., said Monday he had little to no hope of reopening the restaurant located in the Trolley Barn at 170 South Main St.
Gillam, the chef owner of the eatery since 2006, referred all other inquiries to his attorney bankruptcy and real estate specialist Jess Schwidde. Reached by phone Monday, Schwidde declined to comment on the restaurants financial status or the reason for the closure.
City Treasurer Wendy Wilton said Gillam has had difficulty meeting his tax obligations for some time.
The restaurant has missed or made only partial payments on its 1 percent rooms, meals and entertainment tax dating back to December 2011. As of May 2012, Gillam owed $4,510 in overdue rooms, meals and entertainment taxes. He owes tax money for the 10 months since then but he stopped reporting his proceeds to the city, Wilton said.
The treasurer estimates the total amount of rooms, meals and entertainment tax owed to the city to be in excess of $9,000. Gillam also owes the city $137 in personal property taxes dating back two years.
Its a real bummer, Wilton said. We tried to work with him through a payment plan but it just didnt work.
The city isnt the only taxing authority interested in the restaurants rooms and meals revenues.
The state of Vermont collects taxes on 9 percent of rooms and meals proceeds. Its unclear if the restaurant owes the state delinquent rooms and meals taxes Michael Costa, a policy director for the Vermont Department of Taxes, said Monday his agency cannot disclose information about taxpayers accounts.
He did, however, say that his department has an issue with South Station Restaurant.
They are not in good standing with the Department of Taxes, he said.

This Madness Will Never End
I wish I could write something optimistic as we begin the government shutdown. I wish I could, but I can't. In fact, this morning I can't help but feel something close to despair. It isn't that this shutdown won't be resolved, because it will. It will be resolved in the only way it can: when John Boehner allows a vote on a "clean CR," a continuing resolution that funds the government without attacking the Affordable Care Act. It could happen in a week or two, whenever the political cost of the shutdown becomes high enough for Boehner to finally find the courage to say no to the Tea Partiers in his caucus. That CR will pass with mostly Democratic votes, and maybe the result will be a revolt against Boehner that leads to him losing the speakership (or maybe not; as some have argued, Boehner's job could be safe simply because no one else could possibly want it).
But the reason for my despair isn't about this week or this month. It's the fact that this period in our political history—the period of lurching from absurd crisis to absurd crisis, with no possibility of passing a budget let alone legislation to address any serious problems we face, with a cowardly Republican leadership held hostage by a group of insane political terrorists who think it's a tragedy if a poor person gets health insurance and it's a great day when you kick a kid off food stamps, a period where this collection of extremists and fools, these people who think the likes of Michele Bachmann and Steve King are noble and wise leaders—this awful, horrific period in our history, when these are the people who control the country's fate, looks like it will never end.
OK, so "never" is an exaggeration. But does anyone see how it could end as long as there's a Democrat in the White House, whether it's Barack Obama or anyone else? Once the shutdown is over, we're going to do it all over again with the debt ceiling in less than three weeks. And the CRs the House and Senate are passing back and forth now only fund the government for six weeks, meaning we could have a shutdown, followed by a debt ceiling crisis, followed by another shutdown. Whenever the next CR expires, we'll do it again, and we'll do it again the next time the debt ceiling has to be raised.
According to conservative reporter Byron York, this whole thing is being driven by 30 of the most radical GOP House members. And nothing will convince them that what they're doing is crazy and wrong. Nothing. They're zealots. They don't care if the country suffers and they don't care if their party suffers. They have an ideology that tells them that the only important things are fighting government and fighting Barack Obama, by any means necessary. If you can't win at the ballot box, and you can't win in the ordinary legislative process, and you can't win at the Supreme Court, then it'll have to be blackmail. And if that doesn't work, then they'll find some other method.
In June of last year, Obama expressed the belief that if he was re-elected, "the fever may break, because there's a tradition in the Republican Party of more common sense than that." Once booting him from office was no longer a possibility, they'd settle down and oppose him in the ordinary way opposition parties oppose presidents, not in this insane berserker rage they've been gripped by since January of 2009. I don't know if he actually believed that, or if he was just trying to be optimistic. But it was never going to happen. That's not only because of their white-hot hatred of him, but also because, generally speaking, the crazier a Republican member of Congress is, the less they have to worry about political consequences from their craziness. The most radical members come from the most conservative districts, where the only question determining who gets elected is which candidate in a Republican primary is the most extreme, hates Barack Obama the most, and can talk with the most contempt about liberals and government and all the "thems" his constituents despise so much.
And even if the shutdown turns out to be a disaster for the GOP as a whole, those Tea Party members are going to be 100 percent sure that the only problem was that Republicans didn't fight hard enough. They'll come out of it more convinced than ever that government is evil and Democrats are the enemies of all that is right and good, and the good Lord himself put them in Congress to fight liberals and obstruct Obama and undermine government and scratch and bite and kick and scream. And that's what they're going to continue to do as long as they are privileged to serve.
Their fever will never break. Never. The only thing that will give it a temporary respite is if a Republican becomes president, at which time they'll decide that crises aren't such a great tool after all. Their nihilistic rage will be put away, behind a glass door with the words "Break in case of Democratic president" written on it. And then it will start all over again.

We'll see. When they did this to Clinton, Clinton threw the poor off the cliff in exchange for a budget agreement. (While liberal media didn't care, note that Clinton gave us 8 years of Bush.) Obama is no Clinton, thank goodness, but there are still plenty of Clinton Dems in Congress. A worst-case (I think) scenario: If what we're seeing is actually an attempted coup, we're not in a good position to do anything about it. We've been so deeply divided by class. Remember Occupy? What began as an extraordinary people's movement that could have changed the course we're on was quickly redefined -- mainly by media marketed to liberals -- as a Middle Class Only Movement. So the rest of us walked away, and Occupy died. Oh well. All we can do is wait and see what happens.

It will end -- after the 2020 census coincides with a presidential election year in which Democrats come out to vote Democrats will then control enough state legislatures to gerrymander congressional districts to their advantage. After that, the crazies will still have a few seats, but they won't have control of anything. Until then, we have a very bumpy ride.
Tue, 2013-10-01 23:31
Everything you're saying about the Tea Partiers in Congress is true. But here's my question: Why the hell should we care? The problem is not that 30 members of the House are batshit crazy. There are 435 people in the House today, and I doubt there's ever been a time in history when you couldn't pick through them and round up thirty confirmed lunatics. The problem is that 30 batshit crazy House members are able to bring the government of the United States to a standstill.
Right now, at this very moment, there is a majority in the House to pass a clean CR and hike the debt ceiling. The only reason it doesn't happen is that Boehner is too scared of those thirty lunatics to let it come to a vote. So what we should be asking ourselves is how the fringe has managed to get itself veto power over the entire House, and how we can pry that power out of its grip.

You are surely correct that the fever will never break for those 30-odd extremists who are the most committed to destruction. But it doesn't need to ... all we need (if we don't get a Democrat majority in the House in 2014) is a Speaker with just the tiniest little bit of spine, who could say to that small group of lunatics, "Sorry guys, your rage and fury are noted, but we're going to ditch this Hastert-rule nonsense and pass some stuff, even if Democratic votes are needed to do it." Let the Gohmerts of the world scream and yell all they want. It's all in Boehner's sweaty palms.

These days, opting to build a Mouse motor over an LS small-block probably means that familiarity and practicality both stepped into the boxing ring, and the former won via TKO in the 12th round. With all due respect to the legendary Gen I small-block Chevy, from a horsepower-per-dollar standpoint, it just can't hang with its LS counterpart. Pricier parts and fear factor used to be the biggest strikes against the LS, but that's no longer the case. Yank a Vortec 6.0L long-block out of junkyard, swap in a mild hydraulic cam, and you're looking at an easy 500 hp for well under $2,500. With a plethora of carbureted intake manifolds and MSD's trick LS ignition controller, you can chuck all that EFI—and the fear that comes along with it—right in the trash. While the Gen I small-block Chevy is the most prolific engine ever conceived in terms of sheer production volume and its impact on amateur and professional racing, each successive iteration of the Gen III/IV design reminds enthusiasts why the General jumped ship to a new platform in the first place.
The proof is in the horsepower. To illustrate the point and test some of the hottest new LS components on the market, we hooked a fresh GM Performance Parts LS3 crate engine to Mast Motorsports' SuperFlow 902 dyno for a proper WOT christening. While the concept of bolting on a bigger cam, heads, and intake manifold on a crate motor is so cliché in the walk of magazine stories, the results this time around are anything but ordinary. Simply installing a set of Mast's new 12-degree LS3 cylinder head castings along with a granny-certified 225/231-at-0.050 hydraulic cam netted a gain of 99 hp. That's not too shabby at all for a naturally aspirated 376 that already puts out 469 hp on stock trim. Throw some more cubic inches and cam into the mix, and the horsepower potential is truly ridiculous.
The Test Specimen
While the 638hp LS9 and the 505hp LS7 have it handily covered in the power department, the 430hp LS3 used on our dyno session represents the best bang-for-the-buck package in the GMPP crate engine lineup. Currently serving duty in the fifth-gen Camaro SS and the base C6 Corvette, at $6,700 the crate LS3 costs less than half of the price of an LS7. Granted, that's not exactly pocket change, but it buys a whole lot of motor. Essentially an L92 with a lower profile intake manifold, minus the variable valve timing, the LS3 boasts the same 4.065-inch-bore aluminum block, rectangle-port raised-runner cylinder heads, and 376ci displacement as its Escalade-derived forbear. The combination of a respectable cube's tally and high-flow heads yield loads of untapped potential, evidenced by the fact that the LS3 produces 430 hp, despite a dinky 204/211-at-0.050 factory cam. Furthermore, the factory's 430hp rating is quite conservative, as it's derived using far more stringent SAE testing procedures and correction factor. Under the more conventional Standard Temperature and Pressure standards used by most engine shops, the crate LS3 actually produced 469 hp and 465 lb-ft on Mast Motorsports' dyno.
Camming Up
The phenomenal airflow capabilities of the Gen III/IV cylinder heads, and GM's need to keep its cam specs conservative for streetability and emissions purposes, means that tremendous performance gains can be had by simply upgrading to a larger camshaft. Late-model enthusiasts realized this about two days after the first LS1s hit the showroom, but the odds are stacked in favor of hot rodders even more with the LS3. That's because the 376ci LS3 uses the same camshaft as in the 346ci '01 LS6, albeit with a smidgen more intake lift. Furthermore, the LS3's rectangle-port cylinder heads flow roughly 60 cfm more than the cathedral-port LS6 castings (260 versus 320). Considering that its factory cam was originally designed for an engine that's 30ci smaller and heads that flow 60 fewer cfm, it's not surprising that the LS3's torque curve plummets rapidly after 4,700 rpm. To remedy the situation, Mast installed one of its 225/231-at-0.050 hydraulic cams in our test subject, which features 0.602/0.607-inch lift and a 115-degree lobe-separation angle.

The top ten right now is a stable of zombies wandering around waiting for a loss to take them completely out of contention while they all grasp onto hopes of a title shot they will NEVER get.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
A couple things of note on Glover going forward, which I think are play into his performance last night and going forward.
I'll preface by saying I'm a massive Glover mark and have been waiting for him to get this shot for years now, so I'm biased, but there are a couple of spots for concern IMO. Mainly, his camp status. ATT from The Pit, after such a long time, is still taking some getting used to, and there's always Blackhouse friends being mentioned but never solidified as his "home base". It sounded to me like ATT hasn't been the smoothest adjustment, with it looking like be some growing pains as he has gone away from Hackleman and this being his first real test with the team. Glover had bad weightcutting issues this time out(I don't know if this was from training in Florida, then having to travel to cut), but there has been discipline talk regarding his camp, suggesting that he took Bader too lightly. Also, ATT guys are known for their different weightcutting practices, which I wonder if that played any factor, since while a big LHW, Glover normally gets down without much trouble....
Personally, I really don't like the ATT change-up at this point in his career, as he's been under Hackleman's hand for so long with alot of success in his approach and style, that I think the new environment this past 8 months or so hasn't been enough time to really make a positive difference. I think the more time he spends there, the greater benefits he'll see(although I'd much rather see him at Blackhouse).
All that said, I thoroughly believe Glover has the skillset to beat Jones. He's got great BJJ, strength, great power and boxing and solid wrestling. Last night he didn't look great, his cardio is an issue and he took too many shots...but I think he looked past Bader and didn't come in having his best camp and it showed. However I think there needs to be a greater optimization of Glover's training camps to get the best output from him, which we did not see last night. I think the more comfortable Glover gets at ATT, coupled with arguably an attempt at the best camp he's ever had for the title fight, we'll see a vastly improved Glover next time out.
It will take someone with great footwork to beat Jones, Glover fights like Rampage and will be dominated like rampage
Comparing Glover to 'Page is fucking sad. Every time I describe Glover to someone I use the word - Well rounded... you know...good in all area's. Then you compare him to 'Page? A one dimensional striker who forgot how (Or simply can't at this point) to wrestle. Talk sense.
I think they meant his lack of footwork and lumbering forward.
Clearly his actual grappling and submission game is far ahead of Rampage at this point in his career.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
I have always felt that to beat Jones you need to be in his face. Every round he has lost in the UFC is when a guy takes the fight to him (Bonnar, Machida, Evans). He does not handle pressure well and if Glover went in there looking to take Jones' head off he has a decent shot.
Dude, Im a wrestler. Im the best wrestler in MMA. Wrestling IS, was and always has been the most dominate form of mix martial art on the planet. Thats all there is to it. We all know it, some people want to fight it, some people want doubt it but wresters rule the MMA world. -

Incredible Benefits for the Body, Mind and Soul
Strength Training
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Tufts University recently completed a strength-training program comprised of older men and women with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. The results of their 16-week program showed that strength training decreased pain by 43 percent, increased muscle strength and general physical performance, improved the clinical signs and symptoms of the disease, and decreased disability. The effectiveness of strength training to ease the pain of osteoarthritis was just as potent, if not more potent, as medications. Similar effects of strength training have been seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Strength training can also be effective in reducing the signs and symptoms of numerous diseases and chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, back pain and depression.
"The stronger your body, the better quality of life you'll have," says Joe Hockensmith, Certified Personal Trainer, Eisenhower Renker Wellness Center. "People who are sedentary struggle with basic activities like getting up from a chair, walking and lifting."
Free weights, resistance bands, yoga, circuit machines and medicine balls are all good strength training options. Any type of resistance training gives the muscles something to work against, resulting in stronger muscles. Strengthening the muscles with resistance greater than what they're used to makes them able to do more in everyday activities.
Whenever possible, vary routines to keep them interesting and to engage more muscles throughout the body. At the end of a workout, allow plenty of time for slow stretching.
"The more lean mass you have in the body, the more calories are burned at rest," reminds Hockensmith. "You'll also burn more calories during exercise. And strength training keeps bones, ligaments and tendons stronger."
Classes, Trainers and Home Workouts
For those without experience in using free weights or weight circuit machines, gyms are a good place to get instruction. Hiring a certified personal trainer for even one or two sessions can provide instruction on how to properly use weights. Before starting any new exercise regimen, check with your physician, especially if you have any health issues or restrictions.
Many gyms offer classes that incorporate strength training. Or, if you prefer to exercise at home, using smaller weights with more repetitions can be more effective than using heavier weights for a shorter number of repetitions. Be mindful of maintaining correct posture and engage your core muscles throughout your exercise routine.

Delta College and the Mid-Michigan Children's Museum (MMCM) collaborated in December to host "Sid the Science Kid" Science Day at the Children's Museum in Saginaw, MI. The visit was funded by a grant from New York-based WNET Thirteen Education. Delta College is one of the 20 PBS affiliates to have received the grant, and the only one in the state of Michigan.
Cynthia Peck, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Delta College, realizes that many young adults are hesitant when it comes to taking science courses, because many young adults believe that science would be really hard, or has no correlation to their own life. She is a firm believer that introducing science at a young age and encouraging children to explore the world around them will help them to be less intimidated when they grow up. She believes this will encourage them in their scientific ability.
The event was aimed at children 10 years old and younger. Each child received a poster and tote bag, as well as a Sid the Science Kid journal in which to record activities and observations. The journal also contained science experiments which kids were able to perform at home, games, and websites references for more scientific ideas.
Sid the Science Kid concepts were featured in the galleries of Mid-Michigan Children's Museum. These concepts included the human body, force, motion, and health, tools and measurements, and simple machines. Kids learned about brushing and flossing their teeth while crawling inside of a giant mouth and sitting on the tongue inside. In the "Art Mart," children sketched a drawing and entered it to win a Sid the Science Kid T-shirt. Kids also tried to avoid falling balls that came into a foam pit by a conveyor belt.
If I had activities like this when I was younger, I may have grown up wanting to study science as well! Families were also encouraged to bring a camera to snap a photo of their kid with Sid the Science Kid. To see more Sid the Science kid cool stuff, check out the best online toy store. Will Sid make an appearance at a museum near you?

A cold, windy and rainy morning didn't prevent more than 50 artists from flocking to the T.H. Stone Memorial Picnic Pavilion in St. Joseph Peninsula State Park for the annual Plein Air Quickdraw event last Saturday.
To avoid the weather and preserve the life of their paintings, the invited artists and registered participants huddled under shelter wherever they could and painted whatever beauty Cape San Blas could provide on an otherwise dreary day.
Each artist brought a blank canvas of desired size which was then stamped by the Forgotten Coast Cultural Coalition. When the clock struck 10 a.m. ET the artists were given two hours to complete a painting, frame it, and hang it for display.
A title and price were also required to be filed.
"Regardless of the weather, all spirits are up," said Vince Bishop, board member for the FCCC.
In addition to running the official Plein Air Paint-Out website, Bishop was in charge of checking everyone in. He happily reported that over 40 amateur artists had registered to participate in the event.
The man tasked with the difficult job of choosing the winners was Dr. Ashley White from Ocala.
He was chosen for the judge's role due to his background in art history and archaeology.
A member of the advisory board for the Appleton Museum of Art, White said that his criteria for judging were based on "the capturing of a moment."
He was looking at the color of the sky, realism of the painting and the emotion and feelings the pieces produced.
"We're fortunate to have so many people with so much talent in one place," said White.
Last year's Quickdraw judge and fellow Appleton advisory member Chuck Koch was also on hand for the event. He visits Plein Air events all over the country searching out new talent and taking note of the different artistic events that are offered.
"Art is the only form of communication that needs no translation," Koch said,
After two hours of fierce and focused painting, the final whistle sounded and the artists scrambled to put their art on display in the center pavilion for judging.
As White spent time considering each piece of artwork, which when displayed together, created a colorful collection of memories from the day, the painters took time to network, laugh and appreciate the work of their peers.
When the judge's results were in a hush fell over the crowd.
White announced that honorable mention awards and a prize of $50 each would be given to Mary Erickson for her work, "Sand Blast," Haidee-Jo Summers for her piece "View from the Restroom," and Ken DeWaar for his painting, "Sir Charles."
The Best Emerging Artist award and a prize of $75 were given to David Boyd, Jr. for his painting, "The Calm."
Finally, Judge's Choice and a $100 prize were awarded to Morgan Samuel Price for her piece, "Artists and Easels."
"It was such a wonderful day," said Price, who has participated in every Forgotten Coast Plein Air event since its original inception.
As Koch took the microphone to speak to the creative crowd, he offered up some words of wisdom.
"You need art in your diet," he said. "When this is lost, we're starting to starve."
All artists and spectators at the 2013 Quickdraw event were well-fed.

|Nazareth College, 2009
|Follow Coach Houlihan on Twitter
|Read Coach Houlihan's Philosophy Blog at
Michael Houlihan is entering his second season as the co-head coach and sixth with the UMass Boston volleyball program. Houlihan was promoted to the role of co-head coach in August of 2013 after serving as the associate head coach in 2012 and the assistant coach from 2009-2011.
During his five seasons with the Beacons, Houlihan played an integral part in transforming UMass Boston into one of the most successful programs in the history of university. While on the bench, the New York native has helped the Beacons to five straight Little East Conference championships, a NCAA New England Regional crown in 2010, 2012, and 2013, and three appearances in the NCAA Division III National Championship tournament.
On top of the team's success, Houlihan has also worked with some of the top players in the country including the program's all-time leader in assists in setter Cassy Hanneman '12 and the all-time leader in kills and the program's first and only three-time All-American in Shannon Thompson '13. Thompson also finished her career as the only player in UMass Boston history to be named a four-time First Team All-Little East Conference, and three-time LEC Offensive Player of the Year. In 2013, he coached the program's first LEC Defensive Player of the Year in Elizabeth Glavan, who also went on to earn the program's first AVCA All-Region honor as a libero. In total Houlihan has mentored 23 All-Conference selections, 24 NEWVA and AVCA All-Region honorees, and five All-Americans.
Due to his tremendous dedication to the sport of volleyball, Houlihan was named the program's first American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) "Thirty Under 30" recipient which recognizes the top up-and-coming coaches at all levels of the sport, and was featured in the May 2013 edition of the AVCA Coaching Volleyball 2.0.
Prior to coming to Boston, Houlihan coached the Midlakes High School Varsity Boys Volleyball team in New York. Houlihan also spent time as the head coach for the 14's All Long Island Boys Club Team. Throughout his career, Houlihan has worked at a variety of collegiate camps and has also created and implemented individual training programs for players of all ages. Amongst the many camps he has worked at are the University of New Hampshire, the University of Delaware, and the University of Rochester.
Before stepping into the coaching world, Houlihan enjoyed a four-year career for the Nazareth College Men's Volleyball squad. He later graduated from Nazareth with a business administration degree in sports management. While working at UMass Boston, Houlihan earned his MBA.
Houlihan currently resides in Dracut with his new wife Mel and their puppy.

DevOps tends to focus on the relationship between Dev and Ops, putting an emphasis on the ops and application infrastructure. But that's changing with microservices architectures.

|Judith Resnik will deliver this year's program's keynote lecture, titled "Invention and Challenges in Democratic Courts."
The 2011 Richard J. Childress Memorial Lecture will take place 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, in the William H. Kniep Courtroom in Morrissey Hall.
This year's Childress program focuses on contemporary issues relating to "Justice Systems Circa 2011: Public Courts, Military Commissions and Aggregate Processing." Judith Resnik of the Yale Law School will draw from themes presented in her recent book, co-authored with Dennis Curtis, Representing Justice: Invention, Controversy, and Rights in City-States and Democratic Courtrooms, in delivering the keynote presentation, "Invention and Challenges in Democratic Courts."
Following commentaries on Professor Resnik's book by leading scholars, additional panels will present perspectives of prominent scholars, practitioners and jurists on "Military Commissions: From Ex Parte Quirin to Guantanamo Bay" and "Aggregate Processing: Wal-Mart, A.T. & T. and Aggregate Settlements and the 2009 ALI Principles."
The premier academic event of the season, the Childress Lecture was named for former dean from 1969 to 1976, Richard J. Childress. The lecture commemorates the numerous contributions he made academically, socially and ethically to benefit the School of Law.
Childress was a member of the faculty at the School of Law for almost 30 years, and then served for 15 years as associate dean and dean. He is credited with founding the Saint Louis University Law Journal, an eminent scholarly publication, and building the Omer Poos Law Library, which today represents a variety of resources for law students and faculty. During his term, enrollment of women and minorities at the School of Law soared, and interdisciplinary dual-degree programs were established with the School of Medicine and the School of Public Health.
In addition to his strong commitment to the School of Law, Childress was dedicated to legal service, holding memberships in the American Law Institute and the Missouri Bar Committee on the Bill of Rights. Childress was a highly respected professor who was well known for his broad and visionary approach to teaching constitutional law.

The Special Forces Unit was busier than usual. Shawn Nuthall and his elite crew were busy modifying another guitar for Carlos Santana. It was a mod they had performed before on many of Carlos' other cherished axes. The tricky part was getting the sighting mechanism hidden into the top perfling that was the Santana model trademark. Without a good sighting mechanism, the integrated semi-auto .50 BMG barrel and action from a cannibalized Barrett would be just that much harder to aim. Not that Carlos needed to aim anymore as he usually fired from the hip while doing a signature max feedback bend. But Carlos was a stickler that anyone should be able to pick up one of his off-stage guitars in an emergency and use it with precision, so the sighting mechanism had to be there.
Notably, the Santana SE models had had .338 Winchester Magnums installed in them from the beginning. Carlos insisted that the student edition of his guitars made by PRS be all that they could be and never hold back the budding guitar player.

Home to around two-thirds of all plant and animal species found on land — in addition to the millions of people who depend on them for survival — our remaining ancient forests are some of our most diverse ecosystems. They are also vitally important to the health of our planet, especially when it comes to regulating the climate.
With so many of the world's forests already destroyed, we urgently need to protect what is left. Yet industry is still relentlessly converting forests into disposable products that end up in our shopping baskets - while pushing species to the brink of extinction, destroying the lives and livelihoods of forest communities and exacerbating global climate change. We need your help to protect what forests remain.
Around the world, forests are being logged for timber and paper pulp and cleared to grow mono-crops like soy and palm oil while also deteriorating from impacts of global warming. Deforestation is a major driver of global warming, responsible for up to 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions–more than all the cars, trucks, planes, boats and trains in the world combined.

Solutions to deforestation exist. We're campaigning for zero deforestation globally by 2020.

Capital One Cup

By Dan Harrison at the County Ground
Villa have made five changes for tonight's Capital One Cup fourth round tie at Swindon Town.
Shay Given, Eric Lichaj, Barry Bannan, Andreas Weimann and Stephen Ireland come into Paul Lambert's starting line-up.
The five who drop out are Brad Guzan, Joe Bennett, Fabian Delph, Marc Albrighton and Brett Holman.
The Villa boss has kept faith with Gabby Agbonlahor and Christian Benteke, who started up front in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Norwich City.
Lichaj replaces the suspended Bennett at left-back, while Weimann gets another opportunity after impressing in the previous round at Manchester City.
Former Villa striker James Collins starts for Swindon against several of his former academy colleagues.
The Republic of Ireland U21 hotshot scored a sensational hat-trick when Paulo Di Canio's team toppled Stoke City in the second round.
SWINDON: Fotheringham, McEveley, Flint, Devera, Ferry, Collins, Ritchie, Roberts, McCormack, Benson, Miller. Subs: Bedwell, Archibald-Menville, N Thompson, L Thompson, Storey, De Vita, Williams.

Section Information
Section Description Provided by Instructor
This two-semester externship explores how important constitutional rights are advanced but not always enforced in high-stakes state criminal cases and in prison civil rights cases.
The externship will include seminar and fieldwork components. George Kendall, who heads Squire Sanders & Dempsey's Public Service Initiative (PSI), and PSI attorneys Corrine Irish, Samuel Spital and Carine Williams will have responsibility for both components. PSI?s litigation practice focuses primarily on criminal justice and prisoners? rights, and the team did a similar seminar and clinic at Brooklyn Law School in 2008 and 2009. George and Sam will be appointed lecturers-in-law and teach the seminar and supervise students both semesters. Carine and Corrine will be appointed lecturers-in-law but each teach one semester only. All fieldwork will be devoted to indigent PSI clients, or to amici supporting indigents before the Supreme Court. No student will work on a case generating commercial fees for the firm. All four instructors will supervise the students? fieldwork in both semesters.
The full externship, inclusive of classroom and fieldwork components, will be limited to ten students. All students must enroll in the full externship for both semesters.
In the first semester, the class will focus primarily on: (1) familiarity with the important constitutional rights most relevant at trial in capital and serious criminal prosecutions; (2) spotting issues as to the assertion and enforcement of those rights at trial or on direct appeal; and (3) understanding how postconviction doctrines facilitate?or fail to facilitate?their enforcement in later proceedings.
In the second semester, students in the class will primarily study rights commonly implicated in the prison setting, and various doctrinal obstacles to remedies when such rights are violated.
In both semesters, the class will also focus on the relationship between the state and federal courts in the enforcement of constitutional rights, and consider the role of the Supreme Court in rights? enforcement. We will also carefully consider and address the legitimate interests of the states, including public safety, the finality of convictions, and budgetary constraints.
The class will ordinarily meet Friday afternoons, at Squire?s midtown offices in Rockefeller Center. Occasionally, the class may meet at Columbia Law School (for example when a guest speaker?s presentation would be of interest to a large portion of the law school community).
The fieldwork component of the class will require that students be divided into groups of two or three; each group will be matched to a case for work on legal research and record-based analysis in a capital, serious habeas or prison civil rights case. Students may also have the option to travel for one or more of the following reasons: interviewing clients and/or witnesses; performing research in clerks? offices, libraries or archives; and attending court proceedings.
The doctrines and case law covered in the class will provide students with the legal background they will need for their fieldwork. However, because students will receive case assignments at the beginning of the first semester, some students will need to do certain readings before they are covered in the class. When this happens, the student?s supervisor will identify the readings and discuss them with the student. Supervisors will also work closely with students to prepare for any fieldwork requiring travel (e.g. participating in client or witness interviews), and will closely supervise students when such fieldwork occurs.
Students must take both semesters to receive course credit. Four credits will be earned in the Fall: two graded academic credits for the seminar (when it will meet weekly) and two ungraded clinical credits for the field component. Students will receive three credits in the Spring: one graded credit for the seminar in the Spring (when it will meet every other week), and two ungraded credits for fieldwork.
Grades for the seminar will be based upon participation in class and the quality and timeliness of written assignments. In the first semester, students will either write a term paper; or draft a research memo, pleading or section of a brief which requires work equivalent to a term paper. In the second semester, students will either write reflection papers on the readings, which we will discuss during our final class, or do a case-related written assignment of equivalent work.
