DISCLAIMER: I am British, and will be disucussing American politics in this blog, it is accurate to the best of my knowledge but please forgive me if get certain facts wrong.
So Jack Swagger (quite surpisngly) won the elimination chamber on sunday night, and with the odds of Ziggler cashing in before Wrestlemania looking very low, we have a very interesting feud on our hands.

Hey there everyone on EWN, and as you can see, I have NO creative mind whatesoever when coming up with a cool, catchy name for my Blog, so I basically have come up with a name being the Blog with no name, if you catch my drift. Confused? Yeah, thought so!
So anyways, this blog will basically be my point of view on things going down in WWE, and possibly some TNA (if I watch it) over the

I have no problem with rematches, only a problem when the rematches suck or don't do much to continue the feud. This blog will dissect some rematches as well as some potential WM matches.
Most of the rumored matches will be rematches of some sort from years past. We know one of the main events is Cena Rock II. It is quite sad that even WWE subtly has to admit its mistake in saying
Christmas is only 7 weeks away for wrestling fans. Yes, Wrestlemania 29, unquestionably the biggest pro wrestling event of the year is fast approaching. WWE Elimination Chamber has been used for the last few years as a launch pad for key matches to be made. This year's card is filled with that same potential but with WWE set on a rematch between The Rock and John Cena, can the rest of the card produce

This is my well thought out WM 29 card featuring almost everyone on the roster. I assume/hope that this show will be straight wrestling with no concert or nonsense like the last couple of years. Its 4 hours long, so these matches should get time. C'mon its Wrestlemania. I Have the matches listed in the order i believe they will be.

Elimination Chamber:
The Build Up:
For the most part, I've enjoyed the build up to the Elimination Chamber, CM Punk's promos have been top notch, he's taken the "whining heel" to a different area where he's not backing down from a fight, and actually protesting the thing rather than just trying to come up with excuses as to why he got pinned.

A Wrestlemania Idea
Hey everyone in the E-wrestling world. I come onto the site weekly and find myself reading through the blogs so I thought I would take the plunge and register to start blogging myself. Hope you enjoy…..
I have watched Wrestlemania since Wrestlemania 12, after the iron man match against HBK & Bret Hart I was
Madison Rayne-Madison is talented but right now is at the bottom of the Knockouts division. Story with Earl Hebner went nowhere except to introduce Taryn Terrell and she hasn't been involved in much since. Tag team with Gail Kim might be picking up. Again, TNA's lack of commitment to the women (remember, you're not WWE, the women draw) being a cause. She should be seen more.
Score: 2/10
In a previous post a while back I gave my thoughts on TNA's storylines at the time along with a grade but now I want to expand on that a bit. This time I am going to grade the company's use of every single active member of their roster and give a short blurb on the positive and negatives in the way they have been used in recent months along with some likely suggestions for improvement.
Welcome to this weeks edition of A Dennis Blog, OH HELL NO!!!
Hey, it's Dennis again back for my second. I have to admit I didn't really know what to write about in this second blog but then I was reading some forum posts on this site about two of the greatest superstars in WWE, who just happen to be the tag team champions.

Lexington, Massachusetts, US – April 9, 2013 – Shire plc (LSE: SHP, NASDAQ: SHPG) today launched a Rare Disease Impact Report, which uncovers the health, psycho-social, and economic impact of rare diseases on patient and medical communities in the United States (US) and United Kingdom (UK).

New findings reveal the substantial burden of rare diseases due to lack of resources, financial challenges and emotional unrest
Lexington, Massachusetts, US – April 9, 2013 – Shire plc (LSE: SHP, NASDAQ: SHPG) today launched a Rare Disease Impact Report, which uncovers the health, psycho-social, and economic impact of rare diseases on patient and medical communities in the United States (US) and United Kingdom (UK). The report, developed in collaboration with an external advisory board of thought leaders in the medical, advocacy, health policy and health economics fields, will be distributed at the World Orphan Drug Congress in Washington, DC (April 9-11) and is available for immediate download at www.rarediseaseimpact.com.
According to more than 1,000 survey responses from a multi-stakeholder audience sample, the Rare Disease Impact Report reveals1:
"This Impact Report brings to light the specific barriers to quality care that exist for patients with rare diseases; particularly the challenges in getting an accurate diagnosis, adequate information and ongoing care," says Nicole Boice, founder and CEO, Global Genes | RARE Project, a leading rare and genetic disease patient advocacy organization. "I am thrilled that Shire engaged Global Genes in this initiative and hope it will inspire the rare disease community to work together to better meet the needs of rare disease patients and their families."
Rare diseases are conditions that affect a small portion of the population but are often chronic, progressive, degenerative, life-threatening and disabling.2 While individual rare diseases are uncommon and disparate, collectively, there are approximately 7,000 different types of rare diseases and disorders affecting an estimated 350 million people worldwide.3 Despite the progress that has been made over the past few decades to help improve the quality of life for patients managing these complex diseases, there are still significant gaps in care and barriers facing the community at large.
"The findings from our Rare Disease Impact Report are sobering," says Flemming Ornskov, MD, Chief Executive Designate, Shire. "As a leader in rare diseases, Shire hopes that this report will help drive forward a collaborative effort with the patient and medical communities to address the unmet needs identified."
Rare Disease Impact Report Findings1
Across the groups surveyed, findings center around three overarching challenges:
There is a lack of resources and information to address these less common illnesses
The economic impact of diagnosing and managing rare diseases is significant. The journey to diagnosis and beyond comes with a steep price tag for many coping with a rare disease. The long road, which frequently includes numerous tests and physician visits, can become financially overwhelming, particularly for those in the US as compared to the UK
Due to the uncertainty, the lack of available information, resources, and economic strains, rare diseases take a major emotional toll on patients
Data Collection
In January 2013, Shire HGT conducted online surveys over a four-week period among US and UK rare disease patients and their caregivers; physicians treating patients with rare diseases; payors who handle reimbursements for healthcare plans and government/institutions; and thought leaders in the rare disease space. Surveys were fielded through the market research agency, ORC International and also distributed by advocacy group partners Global Genes and the Genetic Alliance UK.
The Rare Disease Impact Report Advisory Board
An external advisory board anchored by thought leaders in the medical, advocacy, health policy and health economics fields lent their expertise to the development of the Impact Report. Advisory board members include Nicole Boice, Founder and CEO, Global Genes | RARE Project; Dr. Priya S. Kishnani, Division Chief, Medical Genetics, Duke University Medical Center; Tomas Philipson, Daniel Levin Professor of Public Policy Studies, The University of Chicago; Alastair Kent, Director, Genetic Alliance UK; Dr. Christian J. Hendriksz, Clinical Lead, Adult Inherited Metabolic Disorders, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust; and Mike Drummond, Professor of Health Economics, University of York.

5 Fitness Foods That Aren't Good For You
5 Fitness Foods That Will Make You Fat
Learn which fitness industry junk foods you should avoid if you want to lose weight
Power. Energy. Greatness. These are three words I would like to think describe my fitness routine. They are also three words commonly used on packaging (or in marketing campaigns) for sports drinks, energy bars, and the other packaged foods that make up the bloated "fitness junk food" industry. But if you're an everyday gym-goer, can they really boost your performance? Or are you just shelling out your cash for, well, calories? Probably the latter. "If you add these products to your diet without subtracting other foods, you're just adding back the calories you're burning during exercise," says Eve Pearson, RD, a sports nutritionist in Dallas. Discover the five fitness junk foods that could be making you fat—and their budget-friendly better-for-you alternatives.

Beautiful Games
Gordon Brown and Dave Cameron like to keep in touch with sport. Did you notice each has 11 letters in his name? How good a football manager would they make? Take either name, discard a goalkeeper and then make 4,4,2 with the remaining letters. Try again with the other name. Win one of our brilliant strategy games by making the best formations 4,4,2 4,5,1 4,3,3 5,3,2 and 4,4,1,1 with each name.
For this puzzle A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on.
We have taken a word, replaced each letter by its number and multiplied them together to get a total. If the word is CAT, then C=3, A=1 and T=20, so 3x1x20 = 60. This total of 60 is offered as the clue for CAT. Try the smaller totals first and work out what they can be divided by. Look for prime numbers such as 13 or 17.

Planning Your Trip to Brazil
You should check out the Rio de Janeiro Travel Guide from Rio Holiday. There you will find detailed information about what to pack, when to go, what to see and do, and many other details. The short checklist below is just to give you the highlights of what you will need to visit Brazil.
- Call your friends. Although we will be happy to accommodate even single travelers, we only rent the entire house - not individual bedrooms. This place is designed for entertainment, so tell everyone its time to Rendezvous in Rio!
- Check availability of the property by sending us an email or an availability request.
- Make sure that every person traveling has a passport that will be valid for at least 6 months after you plan to leave Brazil. In the US, you can get this through your local post office. More information is available at http://travel.state.gov/passport/ and in the Guide.
- Visitors from most countries, including the US and Canada, require a visa for entry to Brazil. If you are a US citizen, there is a $100 fee. The cheap way to do this is no more than 90 days and no less than 30 days prior to your planned arrival. Using a visa service can cut this time down to about 3 days, but it costs extra. See Entrance Requirements When Traveling to Brazil in the Rio Guide.
- Vaccinations are not required to enter Brazil unless you will be traveling to the Amazon or have recently visited certain tropical countries. Check out our Health Concerns section in the Rio de Janeiro Travel Guide from Rio Holiday.
- Once you are pretty sure about your dates, you can start getting reservations. The best deals are available 30 days are more in advance. If you want to use miles, you should so out even further - at least 60 days, longer for special occasions like Carnival.
- Review what you should bring to Brazil and try to pack as lightly as possible. Don't forget that the house has many things that you may not need to bring and that the laundry service is free. See Amenities for details. There is a dress guide and Packing Tips for Travel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the Guide to Rio.
- Buy a recent tour book on Rio or Brazil. It will be fun to read and learn more and will increase your enjoyment on your trip.

As a doctor in refugee camps in Sierra Leone, you'd expect Marlene Kong to be hardened to suffering. As an indigenous Australian, however, she is so shocked by the Aborigines' poor health that she even suggested shaming the government by inviting international aid organisations to the country. But as she tells Rachel Nowak, Aborigines also need a big dose of "soul strengthening".
What does it mean to be an Aboriginal Australian?
I'm a descendant of the original occupants of this wonderful land we call Australia. I'm a Koori, the indigenous name for Aboriginal people living in the states of Victoria and New South Wales. A common misconception is that most Aborigines live in the outback, but we make up about half a million of Australia's 20 million population, with the majority living in urban areas of Queensland and New South Wales. Unfortunately, Aborigines also suffer the worst health in Australia. ...

Laden, Darkangelo sign with Connecticut Whale
Chelsea Laden and Shiann Darkangelo, former members of the Quinnipiac women's ice...
On Senior Day at Lender Court the Quinnipiac men's basketball team (17-8, 12-4 MAAC) defeated the Saint Peter's Peacocks (9-16, 5-11 MAAC) by a final score of 74-64. Seniors Ike Azotam, Shaq Shannon, and Umar Shannon were honored before the game.
The team got off to their second slow start in the last three games as Saint Peter's opened up the first half with an early 12-1 lead.
"I don't know if it is just general fatigue or fatigue because we are playing with less people but we did look a little stuck in the cement defensively to start the game," head coach Tom Moore said, regarding his team's second slow start in the last three games.
Junior forward Ousmane Drame led all scorers tying a career high with 23 points to go along with 12 rebounds. Junior guard Zaid Hearst notched the 20-point mark for the third time in of the team's five games in February, tallying 20 points.
"I just made a few tough shots," Drame said. "They played tough defense. I was just in a good rhythm."
Senior Ike Azotam got his 41st career double-double, scoring 16 points with 11 rebounds. This tied Azotam for the school record for double-doubles in a career. This game was Azotam's second to last home game in a Bobcat uniform.
"[Azotam] is a great player, obviously. One of the best to come to Quinnipiac," Drame said. "It's going to be sad next year not having him, but at the same time I think I am good enough to be the face of the team."
One area of the game that the Bobcats need to work on is their press offense, as they struggled against the Peacocks' press defense during the game. Without a true point guard in the lineup, both Umar Shannon and Kasim Chandler sat out with injuries, the Peacocks were able to get back in the game. The Peacocks pulled within nine points with just less than three minutes to go. This was as close as Saint Peter's would get as Hearst, Drame, and Azotam were clutch down the stretch.
"Our press offense today in those last seven minutes was terrible and that falls on me," Moore said. "But I guarantee if Umar and Kasim were out there we wouldn't look this terrible because those guys were brought in to really handle our press break."
After the win on Sunday, Quinnipiac is now in a three-way tie with Manhattan and Canisius for second place in the conference. Coach Moore and his team will look to keep pace in the conference over the final four games of the season.
"I'd like us to keep winning a respectable amount of games and get healthy," Moore said.
The team's next game is on Thursday Feb. 20, as the Bobcats travel to New York to take on the Canisius Golden Griffins. The Bobcats look to improve to one and one on the year against the Golden Griffins, who defeated the Bobcats 86-74 the last time these two teams met.

BBA interns in front of the John Joseph Moakley Courthouse.
Guest Post: Jennifer Le is one of the Summer Jobs Student working at the Boston Bar Association. Jennifer recently graduated from Boston Community Leadership Academy in Hyde Park and will be participating in the Foundation Year Program at Northeastern University next year.
Last Tuesday, I had the opportunity to visit John Joseph Moakley Courthouse with the BBA Judicial Interns. The Moakley Courthouse is a beautiful building filled with amazing, interesting architectural design and one of Boston's historical tourist spot. This courthouse is also known for its famous federal cases, including the Boston Marathon Bomber (United States v. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev) and the Whitey Bulger cases (United States of America v. James J. Bulger).
Our tour guide educated us on the architecture of the building. The front of the building is made up of metal that's nearly indestructible to prevent bombings and injuries of any kind. The courthouse is also designed to emphasize equality amongst criminals, citizens, lawyers, and Judges. For example, the Judge's seat is at eye level of a lawyer when the lawyer stands up and criminals are not to wear orange jumpsuits at sentencing.
We had the chance to observe three court cases, including a child pornography case, kidnapping case, and an alleged fraudulent workers compensation case. At the end of the kidnapping case, we even spoke with Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton about the court proceeding in greater detail.
It's astonishing to see how much history is embedded into one building and to realize that it will continue to amaze and motivate people like myself. I can't wait to see the long and exciting future that the Moakley Courthouse holds, with all the amazing cases, the art and design. The knowledge and experience will be endless! I've always wanted to become a lawyer, and I feel even more motivated after visiting the Moakley Courthouse.

This group of 16 exemplified the mission of the Public Interest Leadership Program: to promote civic engagement and public service by advancing the leadership role of lawyers in service to their community, their profession, and the Commonwealth. To do so, PILP 11 invited leaders from the legal community and beyond to discuss current legal needs and trends, leadership fundamentals, and how to be involved within the community.
The PILP 11 class and Beyond the Billable would like to thank all of the guest speakers for their time, support, and insight. Our slate of amazing speakers included:
As you can see, PILP 11 had quite the year. Stay tuned for news on the new PILP 12 class!

Attendees of Passport to Pairings will travel throughout the offices of 16 Beacon Street to stations holding different food and beverage pairings, each representing a project benefited by the event.
Are you coming to Passport to Pairings next Thursday? If you can pull yourself away from the delicious food and drinks, be sure to ask our volunteers and staff about the programs featured at the event. Take a look below for a cheat-sheet highlighting the programs:
Law Day in the Schools: Every spring, join lawyers from all over the city to visit classes across the Boston public school system to teach students about different topics related to the law. This year our volunteers taught over 1000 students from kindergarten to seniors in high school about the Magna Carta.
Military & Veterans Legal Help Line: The BBA Lawyer Referral Service has a dedicated line to connect servicemembers and their families to legal assistance. The line has fielded over 600 calls since the BBA LRS became home to the Military& Veterans Legal Help Line in September 2013.
Pro Bono Trainings: Every year the BBA partners with legal service organizations and the Courts to hold pro bono trainings to address the unmet legal needs in our community. Over the past two years, the BBA has held 34 pro bono trainings on topics, including Veterans Discharge Appeal, Special Advocacy for At-Risk Youth, and Landlord Tenant Law.
M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program: Volunteers work in pairs to teach high school students throughout the state about personal finance & budgeting, using credit, buying a car, and the consequences of making poor financial decisions. Since the program began 11 years ago, volunteers have taught over 4,500 students statewide how to make informed financial decisions. This program is conducted through a partnership between the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Massachusetts and the BBA.
Lawyer for the Day in the Boston Housing Court: Every Wednesday and Thursday volunteer attorneys offer legal assistance to landlords and tenants at the Boston Housing Court. Since the program began 15 years ago, over 13,000 volunteers have helped more than 16,000 pro se landlords and tenants.
Reentry Education Program: The program provides information to federal probations through monthly workshops on key civil legal issues that they may face in reentering society, including finding affordable housing, CORI management and public benefits.

BEST KNOWN AS THE DIRECTOR of such spectacular films as The Ten Commandments and King of Kings, Cecil B. DeMille lived a life as epic as any of his cinematic masterpieces. As a child DeMille learned the Bible from his father, a theology student and playwright who introduced Cecil and his older brother, William, to the theater. Tutored by impresario David Belasco, DeMille discovered how audiences responded to showmanship: sets, lights, costumes, etc. He took this… (more)

Used for residential and commercial applications the LEIT-2 irrigation controller is a wireless and solar powered system. The LEIT-2 system combines a remote control handset model LEIT-RC2, a 2 stations ambient (solar) powered controller model LEIT-2, a 3/4" thought 2" in line valves, series 305-xxx and various attachments. The LEIT RC2 remote control handset is an advanced wireless device that used to communicate and to program up to 99 LEIT-2 controllers with up to 198 valves. The LEIT-RC2 handset can communicate to a LEIT-2 controller from a distance of up to 300' line of sight. The LEIT RC2 handset has intuitive icon-based software used for review and program the LEIT-2 controllers. All controller functions are controlled and reviewed by the RC2 remote handset. After installation, no further visits to the controller are required.
Category: LEIT Solar Controllers
|Available Models
The LEIT-2 is powered by a photovoltaic module, which harnesses ambient light to generate electricity and store it in super capacitors to power the LEIT-2 controller. No AC power is needed or batteries used. Unlike other conventional solar panels the LEIT-2 is environmentally friendly in that it is certified lead free and uses light as its power source. The LEIT-2 utilizes a patented technology enabling a smaller and efficient photovoltaic cell module to be inside a small package without a backup battery. This allows the unit to be ultra-compact and to be mounted directly onto a cover of a valve box. This feature eliminates the need for long wire runs offering quick and simple installation. The controller is operating using DIG Corporation DC valves only model 305DC-XXX (3/4" to 2") and has a mounting option such as clipping the controller to the valve or directly onto a valve box. The result is an advanced, two-way communication device that offers features over and above standard irrigation controllers.
Installing the LEIT-2 system required the following components:
Installed in any location with no AC power or battery needed
1. LEIT-2: 2 station ambient (solar) powered wireless controller with two yellow wires for rain sensor connection and four wires, with each two wires, red and white used for connection to each valve. Suggestion: We recommend that the user should reset the controller using the 2 yellow wires and a 9 volt battery before installation due to the fact that this type of controller has no backup batteries.
2. LEIT RC2: Remote control handset is used to communicate with up to 99 LEIT-2 controllers Suggestion: when connecting to the LEIT-2 controller for the first time and assigning a controller ID , assign any number from 2 to 99
3. Up to 2 DIG series 3/4", 305DC.075, 1" 305DC.100, 1-1/2" 305DC.150 and 2" 305DC.200 plastic in-line globe valves with latching solenoids are designed to operate with our LEIT-2 solar powered controller (see our valves section under DC valves). Suggestion: Connect the solenoids red and white wires to the controller station # red and white wires using water proof splice connectors
4. Mounting the LEIT-2 controller required one of the mounting configuration provided:
a. Valve box dome mounting model 30-830 allows mounting the LEIT-2 controller into any valve box. The mounting dome included a simple instruction of how to install it to the box
b. Valve clip mounting attachment with 4 screws model 30-831 allows to clip the controller and to mount it to one of the valve solenoid. This installation is suggested when the valves are above ground.
No more AC power needed or battery to replace, the photovoltaic module in the LEIT-2 harness light energy to generate electricity that is stored and used to power the controller day and night in any kind of weather. Light illumination is measured in terms of lux (lx) or foot-candles (fc). A lux is equal to the total intensity of light that falls on a 3.5 square feet (one square meter) surface that is one foot away from the point source of light. In normal day with direct sunlight an average of 100,000 lux can be measured. The exclusive LEIT-2 controller requires only an average of 3000 lux for normal operation
DIG Corporation designed a product with the environment in mind, a product that can use less energy and disposed of easily without adverse effects on the environment. The electronic assembly and components are certified lead free and the controller does not use a battery to store power, as a result, various toxic pollutions from leads are prevented. Above and beyond, the controller mounted directly or close to the valve saving or eliminating the needs for long copper wires. The controller also use technologies that utilizing ambient light as a source of energy to power the controller, providing a foreword-looking technological and a green controller

Dual Sport fairings from Britannia Composites
View Single Post
KLR-riding cheap bastard
Joined: Oct 2003
Location: Lost Wage$, NV
Oddometer: 7,439
FWIW, i like the looks of Ganshert's (SP?) fairing that he did made one of... pix are on here somewhere. looks kinda like a KTM 640 ADV fairing.
the factory headlight on the '87 to '07 KLR is 20+ year old tech... much better reflectors seem to be available in either round or rectangular shapes.
the yellow/green paint on the faring above only seems to heighten the froglike apearance IMHO. and the combination of square and round lenses is, umm really bad.
now... i understand that keeping the factory subframe and headlight is the simplest answer to the problem, but i've gotta say that the KLRs with either the Buell or Ruckus headlights look sooooo much better.
well, that's just my opinion, however, i have been working in the graphic design/visual arts arena for over twenty years... so i know a little about visual appeal and industrial design.
not telling you what to make... only telling you what i'm looking for, which could translate to what i'd buy, IF it were available.
the Simpson Detour fairing looks good, but a bit bulky. someone posted pix of one of the Honda rally bike fairings with twin round headlights, looked good, but a bit low. seems next to impossible to find one of those tho.
the idea of the adjustable height is good, but i'd rather see the front be smooth, with the knobs on the back or sides.
a space for a white LED "city light" would be nice too.

Some people raise money for Israel, other people visit Israel, and still others look for a unique way to support the country, like Eat4Israel. Now a new group of local athletes wants to Run for Israel, in Israel. A marathon, to be precise. "Roots Marathon" is starting their training program this summer, inviting people of different faiths to run the 30th Tiberias Marathon or 10k in Northern Israel next winter.
The 10-day tour, from Dec. 30-Jan. 11, will take the group from Tel Aviv to Haifa to Acrw and Safed, to the Galilee and Golan Heights, stopping off along the way at religious and historical sites, like a Bahai Shrine, a site of Christian miracles and, of course, a Jewish holy city.
"When you train for a marathon you bring people close together, and this is a way to bridge different religious faiths," said Dan Witzling, a long-time Jewish activist and marathon runner who is co-organizing the trip.
The other organizer, Avner Hofstein, is the West Coast correspondent for Yediot Achronot, Israel's largest newspaper. He wanted to show people a different Israel.
"Israel is a lively place filled with fun, sports and action, very different from the action in which it is portrayed in the news," said Hofstein, who has been based in Los Angeles for the last four years.
Roots has been coordinated by Israel's Ministry of Tourism, and The Israeli Consulate of Los Angeles, Board of Rabbis of Southern California and Interfaith Environment Council of the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life/Southern California all support the marathon effort.
Is running 26.2 miles a lot to run to see and support Israel? Hofstein gives it a historical spin: "If the Jews walked 40 years in the desert, they won't mind running 26 miles, or much less, a 10k."

These new black tee shirts will be available in a variety of sizes in BOTH long and short sleeved this fall at the Kodiak meeting.
Lisa Stuby created an idea for the Series #3 t-shirt, The Alaska King Crab. She gave the concept along with some photographs to Karen Lybrand, the artist who created the graphics on the previous two t-shirts. Karen Lybrand has been a long-time collaborator with Ray Troll and did the graphic design work (Ray did the artwork) on the 2005 "Creating a Fisheries Mosaic" poster for the 2005 National AFS meeting in Anchorage. More recently Karen's work has been seen at The Smithsonian, Miami Museum of Science, NY Hall of Science, and other venues.
Steve Jewett provided advice on the draft drawing to make it as scientifically accurate as possible for a piece of artwork meant to grace the back of a t-shirt.
These t-shirts are 100% pre-shrunk cotton and machine washable and are very good quality. ALL proceeds from Series #3 t-shirts will go to student travel to future AK Chapter AFS meetings.

Chief says beating gave HPD a 'black eye'
By Brian Rogers | June 4, 2013 | Updated: June 4, 2013 10:56pm
Photo By Johnny Hanson/StaffHPD Chief Charles McClelland testified that HPD officers, Andrew Blomberg, Phil Bryan, Raad Hassan and Drew Ryser videotaped beating a teenage burglary suspect will be able to get a fair trial in Houston during a change of venue hearing in the 174th District Court at the Harris County Criminal Justice Center Monday, Aug. 22, 2011, in Houston. The video was recorded by a surveillance camera around 4 p.m. March 24, 2010, at Uncle Bob's Self-Storage at 8450 Cook near Beechnut shows Chad Holley, then 15, running away from police before he is clipped by an HPD cruiser. The boy then falls to the ground, rolls on the grass, flips onto his stomach and clamps his hands behind his head as officers appear to attack him forcefully. ( Johnny Hanson / Houston Chronicle )
Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland testified Tuesday that officers caught on video beating a 15-year-old in 2010 gave the force "a black eye."
"What was disturbing to me was that I saw Mr. Holley was offering no active resistance and the use of force was excessive," McClelland said. "It made me sick to my stomach."
The chief testified against Drew Ryser, the fourth and final officer charged with official oppression stemming from a March 23, 2010, beating of teenager Chad Holley.
McClelland was clear that his investigation showed that Ryser took part in the beating
"Yes, I believe Mr. Ryser did participate in the mistreatment of Mr. Holley," he testified.
Ryser's defense team has worked to keep jurors focused on the officer's actions in the seconds after Holley falls while fleeing police from the scene of a daytime burglary.
Holley was later convicted of theft.
A half-dozen officers converge on the teen, who suffers a barrage of punches, stomps and kicks from the police.
Holley was taken to the hospital for treatment of scrapes and cuts. The lack of serious injuries resulted in misdemeanor charges for four officers.
One officer was found not guilty last year, and two pleaded guilty and were given probation.
Defense attorneys Carson Joachim and Lisa Andrews have repeatedly argued that Ryser should not be painted with the same brush.
If convicted of the class A misdemeanor, the officer - who lost his job over the incident - faces a sentence ranging from probation to a year in jail.
On the stand, McClelland also lamented the aftermath of the incident, and the widely circulated security video recording.
"It was an egregious use of force and the men and women of the Houston Police Department are more professional than that," he said. "The force did not deserve that kind of black eye."
The chief said HPD officers were more often "ridiculed and criticized" because of the beating.
"When officers make contact (with citizens), it's easy for others to make reference that they're going to be treated in the same manner," he said.
The chief will continue his testimony Wednesday. The trial, in state District Judge Ruben Guerrero's court, is expected to last about a week.
Tuesday's court proceedings were delayed 15 minutes when the judge held a closed hearing in chambers to address a young male juror who arrived at least two hours late.

Romanian state TV singers 370.
(photo credit:YouTube Screenshot)
A Romanian public broadcaster distanced itself from a Christmas carol celebrating the Holocaust that aired on the new channel.TVR3 Verde, a television channel for rural communities, presented the carol on December 5 during its maiden transmission.Sung by the Dor Transilvan ensemble, it featured the lyrics: "The kikes, damn kikes, Holy God would not leave the kike alive, neither in heaven nor on earth, only in the chimney as smoke, this is what the kike is good for, to make kike smoke through the chimney on the street."In a statement Tuesday, TVR3 said it did not select the carol but only broadcast songs that were chosen and compiled by the Center for Preservation and Promotion of Traditional Culture, which belongs to the eastern county of Cluj.TVR considers the selection "an uninspired choice and therefore notified the Cluj County Council of this," the broadcaster's statement read.MCA Romania, a local watchdog on anti-Semitism, has written to Romanian President Traian Basecu and to Prime Minister Victor Viorel Ponta, to complain about the broadcast."We are shocked to see that the Romanian Public Television Channel 3 broadcast an anti-Semitic Christmas carol," Maximillian Marco Katz and Marius Draghici of MCA Romania wrote in the letter. "It is outrageous that none in the audience took a stance against the anti-Semitic Christian carol that incites to burn the Jews."They added it was "absolutely unacceptable that TVR 3 tried to deny responsibility" by claiming it was the responsibility of Cluj County.

Your Questions Answered
What does the acronym 'ISA' stand for?
The Independent Safeguarding Authority.
Who runs the ISA?
The ISA is a Non-Departmental Public Body set up by the Home Office to provide a new vetting and barring service for those working with children and vulnerable adults. The ISA is independent of government and run by Civil Servants.
What will the ISA do?
The ISA will assess relevant information on individual applicants and, where they believe this indicates that the individual poses a risk, bar them from working in regular activity with children and/or vulnerable adults. However, it is important to understand that in carrying out this function the ISA will not be barring every single individual with any kind of criminal conviction or based on other information known about them. Only those who pose an obvious risk will be barred. To gain a full picture of an individual's records employers will need to obtain a CRB check.
Does the ISA cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?
No. The ISA only covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland – Scotland has its own equivalent Scheme.
When will the ISA Scheme Launch?
12 October 2009
What has caused the delay?
This scheme – like any that aims to safeguard children or vulnerable adults – is still a very high priority with the Government. The launch date ensures that a full and robust testing regime can be followed s that the scheme will work properly from one day one of operation. Whilst it is important to ensure that the new scheme is brought as quickly as possible it is also vital to ensure that it can deal with the demand that it will create. The new launch dares takes this factor into account.
Will I need to have all my staff and volunteers who are working with the children and vulnerable adult registered with the ISA by the 12 October 2009?
No. The requirements to be registered with the ISA will be phased in over 5 years. No further details are available from the ISA at this stage.
Will it be illegal to employ someone who is not registered with the ISA?
Yes eventually, but organisations will be given up to 5 years to ensure all current employees and volunteers are ISA-registered.
How much will it cost for an individual to register with ISA?
While the CRB currently charge £36.00 for an Enhanced level CRB check, this will increase to £64.00 to include the Vetting and Barring Scheme. CBS currently charge an administration fee per application, with no registration or monthly fees. CBS are still considering how best to arrange a pricing structure for this service, however, as always CBS will clearly disclose all costs to clients and ensure that best price is matched with best practice.
Will volunteers have to pay the ISA registration fee?
No. Only the administration costs will be paid to CBS.
How can an employer check if someone is ISA-registered?
Using their registration status with CBS, there are two ways to carry out an ISA check - both require the consent of the individual.
1: Online: This will confirm whether or not the person is registered with the ISA
2: Enhanced CRB check: This will provide more information that the online check as it will reveal a person's full criminal record, any other relevant information and the ISA registration status. If the person is barred it will also provide the reason(s) for that bar.
What happens if someone who is ISA-registered commits a serious offence and as a result becomes barred?
The individual's ISA registration will cease. An online ISA check will reveal that the individual is not ISA registered. An Enhanced CRB check will reveal that the person is barred and the reason for that bar.
Will the ISA notify the employer that the individual's ISA status has changed?
The ISA will notify all organisations who have registered an interest in the persons ISA registration status. In every case CBS will have registered an interest, therefore, all employers will be notified directly by CBS.
Does the ISA replace the Criminal Records Bureau?
No. The ISA is a new service that will enhance the current service to employers provided by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB)
Does ISA replace the 3 current government lists of those banned from working with children and the vulnerable? (POCA, POVA and List 99)
Yes. The ISA will maintain two registers, one for the children and one for the vulnerable adult workforce.
What is the difference between the service offered by the ISA and the CRB?
The ISA will prevent the most unsuitable people from working with children and vulnerable adults by making it a legal requirement for everyone who is working with children or the vulnerable to be registered with the ISA. The CRB will continue to support employers by providing them with access to an individual's full criminal record and other information so that they can assess the individual's suitability for the particular post or position.
Does an ISA check replace a CRB check?
No. An ISA check will reveal if the person his registered and able to work with children and/or vulnerable adults. A CRB check will reveal if the person has a criminal record or if any relevant non-conviction information. A person could be registered with the ISA but still have a criminal record that if known by the employer would make the person unsuitable to do a particular job.
Will I still need to carry out CRB checks?
For those individuals registered with the ISA scheme, further Enhanced CRB checks will be at the employer's discretion and organisations may still wish to apply for CRB Enhanced Disclosures to obtain and individual's full criminal record. However, where there is a legal requirement to check or they are required by a regulatory body such as OFSTED, it is envisaged that existing statutory requirements for CRB Enhanced Disclosures will still apply. Please contact the relevant organisation(s) for more information.
How will individuals apply to register with the ISA?
Individuals in England and Wales will apply to the CRB, through one of its Registered Bodies, for registration with the ISA. Individuals in Northern Ireland will apply through AccessNI.
Does this mean there will be a new CRB form?
Yes. You will be able to apply for ISA registration and a CRB check (including an ISA check) on the same form
When will the new application form be available?
The new application form will be available to customers in plenty of time for the launch of the ISA Scheme. This will provide customers time to train their staff and make any changes to their own system and procedures.
Will the criteria for Standard and Enhanced CRB checks need to change as a result of the ISA scheme?
Yes. If you currently apply for a standard CRB check on those working with children and/or vulnerable adults you will in future be entitled to an Enhanced CRB check. An Enhanced CRB check will continue to be available to individuals who are not required to register with the ISA, for example those working within the Gambling Commission. A Standard CRB check will be for all other positions covered by the Exceptions Order 1975 to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 for example positions within the Security Industry and Finance Services.
Will the CRB be able to cope with the massive increase in demand for the new ISA checks?
Yes. The CRB has been fully involved in all discussions as a key partner and a stakeholder for the development of the ISA scheme. The CRB will be fully equipped and ready to administer the checks needed for the rollout of ISA registration.
Where can I go to get more information?
CBS will keep all clients informed updated with developments. In the meantime, for information about the ISA and its new service please visit the ISA's website www.isa-gov.org.uk or call CBS on 01443 799900.
Launch – 12 October 2009
From 12 October 2009, there will be some small changes to the way that you apply for CRB checks. This is the first phase of VBS and will provide increased safeguards that will further enhance the protection of children and vulnerable adults. The next phase, which will allow individuals to start, applying for ISA-registration, will be introduced next year on 26th July 2010.
So what exactly will change on 12 October?
The three current barred lists (POCA, POVA and List 99) will be replaced by two new barred lists administered by the ISA, the 'Children's List' and the 'Vulnerable Adult' List.
Employers, social services and professional regulators will have a duty to refer information about individuals who may pose a risk to children and vulnerable adults to the ISA. This will ensure that any potential threats to vulnerable groups can be identified and dealt with effectively.
There will be criminal penalties introduced for barred individuals who seek to undertake work with vulnerable groups and for any employers who knowingly take them on.
The eligibility for Enhanced CRB checks will be extended to include anyone working in a regulated activity with a Regulated Activity Provider.
The current POVAFirst service will be renamed 'ISA Adult First' service to reflect the replacement of the POVA list.
So what do the changes on 12 October mean for you?
You can continue to use the current CRB application form. There will be a new CRB application form from July 2010 which will incorporate applications for ISA-registration.
Standard CRB checks will no longer be available for those working with children or vulnerable adults. From this date, a Standard CRB check, will only reveal information held on PNC and will no longer reveal information from the three current lists or the new barred lists.
Anyone who applies to work in a regulated activity under the new eligibility criteria should apply for an Enhanced CRB check.
If you request a check of the barred lists with an Enhanced CRB, the Enhanced certificate will show the results of a check of the two new barred lists.
POVAFirst will change its name to the 'ISA Adult First' service, but it will offer you the same service as before.
Standard CRB checks
As mentioned before, from 12 October, there will be changes to Standard CRB checks. Standard CRB check will no longer be available for those working with children or vulnerable adults. A standard check will only reveal information held on the PNC and will no longer provide information from the Government lists – POCA, POVA, LIST 99. If you still need a check of the current lists with a standard CRB check, you will need to submit these applications no later than 2 October 2009, to give the CRB the opportunity to process them in time. Any checks that are not fully processed by 12 October 2009 will not include any information from the old or new barred lists you may have to submit a further application for an Enhanced check and pay the additional fee processing that application. Any application received for a Standard CRB check requesting a check of the current barred lists received on or after the 12 October 2009 will be returned to the Countersignatory, unprocessed. A new application for an Enhanced CRB check would need to be submitted if the applicant is entitled to a check against the new lists under the new extended eligibility criteria.
Enhanced CRB checks
So, how will you be able to determine if an activity is considered as regulated activity under the extended criteria and therefore if the applicant is eligible for an Enhanced CRB check? The following diagram illustrates the principals of regulated activity and considerations that a customer should asses in relation to the post applied for: ????
Regulated Activities
Involve contact with children or vulnerable adults are:
Also covers Fostering and 'Defined Office Holders' e.g Directors of Children's Services, Trustees of children's charities, School Governors.
No distinction made between paid and voluntary work
You can find more information in the VBS Guidance which will be available to view or download from the CRB website shortly. A section of the guidance 'Coverage of the Scheme' explains which people, settings and activities are covered scheme. It also provides details and examples of those activities that are regulated and controlled.
Sector specific guidance is currently being devised and will be available very soon. The guidance will provide specific examples within each customer sector of which roles are and are not considered to be regulated activity.
We hope that the following FAQs will assist you further. They are also available on the CRB website www.crb.gov.uk
Questions and Answers
Launch of the Vetting & Barring Scheme, October 2009
What is the Vetting and Barring Scheme and why was it set up?
The vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS) was established as a result of the Bichard Report following the enquiry into the Soham Murders; it recommended that all those who work with vulnerable groups should be registered. The scheme is designed to ensure that anyone who presents a known risk to vulnerable groups is quite simply prevented from working with them. For further information on the scheme, you should contact the VBS call centre on 0300 123 1111.
How will the new Vetting and Barring scheme work?
Once an individual is registered with the independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA), individuals will be continuously monitored and any new criminal or other relevant information will be sent to the ISA for consideration. Employers will be able to check online for free whether an individual is registered with the scheme and subscribe to receive updates if that individual's registration status change. For further information on the scheme, you should contact the VBS call centre on 0300 123 1111.
How does the person apply to join the VBS?
The individual must make an application for ISA-registration through the CRB.
Who can I call about the Vetting and Barring Scheme if I have a question?
You can call 0300 123 1111. Operators staffing this Lo-call service will be available to deal with your queries Monday to Friday between 8am and 5.30pm.
Will I need to start registering all my staff and volunteers who are working with children and vulnerable adults with the ISA from 12 October 2009?
No, registration with the scheme will only commence on 26 July 2010 for new starters of those moving jobs. For those already employed there will be a phased rollout programme over the next five years for them to become ISA-registered.
Will the criteria for Standard CRB checks change as from 12 October 2009?
Yes, from 12 October 2009, if you are currently entitled to apply for a Standard CRB for working with children and/or vulnerable adults, you should in future apply for an Enhanced CRB check. A Standard CRB check will continue to be available for all other positions covered by the Exceptions Order 1975 to the Rehabilitation of offenders Act 1974, for example, positions within the security industry and financial services.
What is the new criteria for an Enhanced CRB check from 12 October?
The eligibility for an Enhanced CRB check will be extended to include anyone working in regulated activity with a Regulated Activity Provider as defined in the Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Act (SVGA). A list of those activities will be published well in time for 12 October. You will also be provided comprehensive VBS guidance and sector specific guidance well in time for the launch.
Will there be changes to the way I apply for a CRB check from 12 October 2009?
No, the only changes are that a Standard CRB check will no longer include a check of the current lists and if you are applying to work with children or vulnerable adults, you will need to apply for an Enhanced check. If you are entitled to check the new ISA 'Children's' or 'Vulnerable Adults' barred lists, you must apply for an Enhanced CRB check.
What happens if the CRB has not completed my Standard CRB application by 12 October 2009?
If you have submitted an application for a Standard CRB check and requested a check of the POCA, POVA and List 99 lists and the application is not fully processed before 12 October, then the check will only reveal information from the Police National Computer. You would therefore be required to submit another application form for an Enhanced CRB check to obtain a check of the new lists and the fee would be payable. It is for this purpose that we recommend that should you wish to have a check of the current lists on a standard application that you submit them no later than 2 October 2009 to ensure that the CRB has an opportunity to process them in time.
What happens if the CRB has not completed my Standard CRB application by 12 October 2009?
The CRB certificate will display the result of the new searches of the new barred lists instead of POCA, POVA and List 99 lists where the relevant boxes were ticked on the form.
Why is there still a List 99 box on my Enhanced CRB certificate if the list has been replaced?
The list 99 box will remain on the CRB certificate until the ISA have migrated all the relevant records to the new barred lists.
Are there any changes to the cost of a Standard or Enhanced CRB check from 12 October?
The cost of a standard CRB check will be reduced from £31 to £26 from 1 October 2009, the cost of an Enhanced CRB check will remain at £36. There are no further changes to the cost of either check form 12 October.
What happens if I submit a Standard application requesting a check of the current lists after 12 October?
Any applications for Standard CRB checks requesting a check of the current lists received on or after the 12 October will be returned to the countersignatory unprocessed. This may mean you having to submit a new Enhanced application if you still require a check of he lists and the additional fee for the new check would be payable.
Is the CRB introducing a new application form from 12 October 2009?
No, you can use the existing application form up to 20 July 2010. From 28 June 2010, you will be able to apply for ISA registration and/or CRB checks on the new application form but applications received on or after 28 June 20120 will not be processed earlier than 26 July 2010. Further information surrounding the dates using the new form will be available in guidance and from the CRB's website.
When can I see the new application form?
A 'specimen copy' of the new CRB application form will be issued to all Lead and Countersignatories in January 2010, six months prior to the launch of the full VBS service. This will give customers the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the form and facilitate any training required around the form.
Will there be guidance on how to complete the new application form?
Yes, at the same time that a specimen of the form is issued to all Lead and Countersignatories in January 2010, a guidance DVD for both applicants and Registered Bodies on how to complete the application form will be made available.
When can I have a stock of the new application form?
A stock of new application forms which should last around three months will be issued to all Registered Bodies in April 2010.
What will happen to the POVAFirst service on 12 October 2009?
The current POVA list will no longer be available and whilst the service remains the same, its name will need to be changed to reflect the new ISA Adult Barred list. The new name from 12 October will be ISA Adult First.
If I am now eligible for an Enhanced CRB check for somebody who will be working in a regulated activity, does this mean that I can use the 'ISA Adult First' Service?
The extension to the eligibility criteria may mean that you have roles that are now entitled to an Enhanced CRB check but you still must satisfy the condition for 'ISA Adult First' checks that this service is only available in the exceptional circumstances when there is a real danger that your staffing levels will fall below statutory obligations.
What is the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA)?
The Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) is a non-departmental public body (NDPB), Sponsored by the Home Office.
What does the ISA do?
The ISA will decide who, based on a structured decision making process, will be prevented, or barred, from working with children and/or vulnerable adults. It will base its decisions on relevant information brought from the police sources, regulated bodies and information referred to it from a range of other organisations and individuals.
Does the ISA cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?
No, the ISA only covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland has its own equivalent of the ISA.
Application Process for ISA-registration
When can an individual apply to become ISA-registration?
From 26 July 2010 for new starters or those moving jobs. For those already employed there will be a phased rollout programme over the next five years for them to become ISA-registered.
How does an individual become ISA-registered?
The individual will apply ion a very similar way to that of applying for a CRB check, through one of the organisations registered with the CRB.
How long will it take to become ISA-registered?
The CRB is working to a standard whereby applicants, in England and Wales, for ISA-registered will become registered within seven working days. Where applicants have a relevant conviction, caution, warning or reprimand, the CRB will send the information to the ISA who will then take a closer look at the applicant and the appropriates for them to work with vulnerable groups.
How much will it cost for an individual to be ISA-registered?
£64.00 in England and Wales and £58 in Northern Ireland.
Will volunteers have to pay the ISA registration fee?
No, not if they only work as unpaid volunteers. But if they also work in paid employment in a regulated activity or at some subsequent point they take up paid employment in a regulated activity, the fee would be payable at that stage.
What does being 'ISA-registered' mean?
ISA-Registered means:
No information is known to the ISA that demonstrates that the person poses a risk of harm to children or vulnerable adults.
A person's registration status is continuously monitored and if any new information such as a relevant caution or conviction, or information from employers comes to light, the ISA is informed. They will re-assess the person's potential risk to vulnerable groups and decide whether or not it is appropriate to permit continuing registration.
ISA-registered does not mean:
The individual has no criminal record.
What is the difference between ISA-registered and a CRB check?
The ISA will take decisions to prevent unsuitable people from working in regulated activity, whereas a CRB check provides access to an individual's full criminal record so that they can assess the individual's suitability for the particular post or position.
Does ISA-registration replace the need for CRB checks?
No, the ISA will prevent unsuitable people from working with children and vulnerable adults. The CRB will continue to support employers by providing them with access to an individual's full criminal record and other information so that they can asses that individual's suitability for a particular post or position.
Is a person's ISA-registration transferable (i.e. to another employer)?
Yes, ISA-registration involves a one-off application fee and will apply to any future setting where the person is working with children, or vulnerable adults, as appropriate. When the CRB becomes aware of new relevant information about ISA-registered individual, it will inform the ISA. The ISA will then consider whether the person should be barred, and if they are barred they will lose their ISA-registration. Assuming their employer has registered an interest in that person's ISA registration status, the ISA will advise them that this person is no longer ISA registered.
How long will a barring decision take?
Where an individual has been referred to the ISA due to harming; causing harm; putting at risk of harm; attempting to harm; or inciting another to harm a child or vulnerable adult, the ISA will consider all available relevant information in deciding if it is appropriate to add that person to one or both of the barred lists. This process will include requesting relevant information from other organisations including for example, employers, police and local authorities. The individual referred will also be given the opportunity to present representations. Individuals have the right to make representation as to why they believe they should not be barred and this information – which could necessitate the ISA requesting further details – needs to be considered prior to the ISA making its final decision. The ISA understand this can be a difficult time for all involved, and endeavour to complete all referrals as soon as possible. The ISA's key function is to protect children and vulnerable adults. This process may take time; but it is important that ALL relevant information is available before a decision can be made.
What will happen if employers do not check if staff are ISA-registered?
A regulated activity provider or personnel supplier will be committing an offence if they fail to check if an individual is ISA-registered and allow them to engage in regulated activity. It will be a legal requirement for those working in regulated activity positions to be ISA-registered in November 2010. For further information on the Independent Safeguarding Authority, please contact the VBS call centre on 0300 123 1111 or visit ISA website

Chris Hughton is no longer in the running for the vacant manager's position at West Brom, Press Association Sport understands.
The Birmingham boss was thought to be on the shortlist of candidates to replace Roy Hodgson, but the Baggies have decided not to follow up their interest in the former Newcastle manager.
It is unclear why West Brom have decided against a move for Hughton, although the fact that the Blues were looking for £2million in compensation for the 53-year-old may have been a factor.

Female crickets prefer the serenades of younger males. The findings defy a well-established theory that females prefer older males because their longevity shows they have good genes. This idea was largely unproven, says Luke Verburgt of the University of Pretoria, South Africa. And once he put it to the test using field crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus), he found it isn't accurate.
Instead, female crickets prefer the higher-pitched and louder songs sung by younger males, he says.
Verburgt and colleagues recorded the mating songs of the same 25 male field crickets when they were young (10 to 12 days old) and older (48 to 50 days old).
He analysed the songs' traits, including the number of single sounds – or syllables – per song, the length of the syllables and the song's frequency.
Youthful vigour
Nearly all the traits changed with age. For instance, as crickets became older they sang lower, more staccato songs. The young male song was louder and on average 80 hertz higher than the older male songs.
Verburgt believes the muscles needed to produce songs become weaker with age, and so older crickets may not be able to sustain the force required to produce longer syllables.
Cricket Idol
To see if females preferred the older or younger songs, Verburgt used software to mix recordings and create "average" old and young songs.
He placed two speakers on opposite sides of a box and simultaneously played the average songs to 21 females four times, and recorded which way the females turned.
They found females chose the young male song a whopping 90 per cent of the time.
According to Verburgt, females probably prefer younger crickets because damage associated with ageing can mutate DNA and reduce sperm quality.
"Sperm ages rapidly and older testes are not as good as younger testes in producing lots of viable sperm," says Trish Fleming a behavioural biologist at Murdoch University in Australia. As a result, younger males are more likely to be capable of fertilising all a female cricket's eggs.
