8 March 2013
Major cash for ash
The first DNA sequence data on the ash dieback fungus has been made freely available on crowdsourcing website OpenAshDieBack by scientists receiving major funding for a two-year research project.
Shake flask containing fungus cultured for DNA sequencing
More sequence will be published online and "live reviewed" as it is generated by multiple research partners led by The Sainsbury Laboratory and The John Innes Centre on Norwich Research Park. With £1.5 million from BBSRC they will collaborate to analyse the full genomes of ash and the ash dieback fungus Chalara fraxinea.
Researchers from around the world are invited to help analyse the DNA sequences and to peer review analysis made by others. In the longer term, genetically mapping the ash genes that confer resistance to the pathogen could pave the way for recovery from the epidemic.
"With this funding and by making all our discoveries freely and immediately available, this will no longer be a Cinderella area of research," said project leader Professor Allan Downie from the John Innes Centre.
"We won't be able to solve the whole problem in the life of this collaboration. However, we aim to use new technologies to help tree breeders select the best trees to cross-fertilise. We hope to generate the knowledge needed to understand why this fungus has become such a problem. That knowledge will catalyse further research around the world."
It will be the first time that some advanced genetic techniques such as 'associative transcriptomics' are used in trees. This is where the expressed genes of plant varieties are compared to identify markers for traits. These can be used to speed up marker assisted breeding.
"Ash and Chalara genomics have never before been studied in the level of detail we are doing," said Downie.
'Tree 35'
Crossing female "Tree 35" with male "Tree 18" - the healthiest trees in their gender in Denmark
The scientists will focus part of their ash research on 'Tree 35', a tree in Denmark that has stayed healthy during the epidemic that has damaged most ash trees in the country. By mapping the genomes of 'Tree 35' and other trees with low susceptibility, they will be able to establish the genetic basis of resistance.
Ash is highly variable because mother trees can have multiple partners. If, within this variation, different types of ash show some resistance, the scientists will be able to recommend building stronger resistance based on multiple crosses. Different crosses for different environments will also need to be suggested, to breed resistant trees adapted to specific conditions.
First fungal DNA sequence
The first DNA sequence data from ash dieback samples collected from two Norfolk woods show marked differences. Further research with up to 30 samples from across the UK and mainland Europe will reveal whether the disease is spread by one isolate of the fungus or by a complex mixture collecting diversity as it colonises new areas.
Current fungicides can not be used as they would also kill fungi that help plants acquire nutrients from the soil and that recycle dead forest material. For example, there are 407 identified species of fungi in Ashwellthorpe Wood in Norfolk where the disease was first discovered in the UK.
"I have been volunteering for 20 years in the wood where we discovered the disease," said JIC's Dr Anne Edwards.
Infected coppiced stems emerging from ash stool several hundreds of years old
"The wood dates back to the Domesday Book and contains coppiced ash stools that could be700 years old."
"We are not going to just let the fungus take over without at least seeing if anything can be done to halt its progress."
Open access research
The first data are DNA sequence fragments from the fungal chromosome and sequences from the genes expressed by the fungus during its growth in ash trees. By making them immediately and freely available, a whole community of scientists can help piece them together. Other experts may recognise genes that are found in other organisms and be able to identify what role they play.
"Since we went live with OpenAshDieBack in December, more than 20 scientists throughout the world have downloaded the data and contributed analyses."
"This is not how science normally works, but finding solutions is the priority," said head of The Sainsbury Laboratory Professor Sophien Kamoun.
Infected trees are now confirmed in 386 sites across the UK with the largest clusters in East Anglia and the South East. The resources created during this project will also be transferable to other emerging pathogens, increasing the UK's readiness to respond to them.
The research collaborators:
East Malling Research
Forest Research
The Genepool at the University of Edinburgh
The coppiced ash woodland at Ashwellthorpe supports rare species such as this early purple orchid.
The Genome Analysis Centre
John Innes Centre
Norwegian Forest and Landscape institute
The Sainsbury Laboratory
University of Copenhagen
University of Exeter
The project partners will also collaborate with NERC-funded researchers at Queen Mary College, University of London

text: Inspired by Abba's Mamma Mia!, Queen's We Will Rock You, Madness' Our House and Rod Stewart's upcoming Tonight's the Night, falsetto popsters Barry and Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees are apparently keen to get in on the act. According to today's Daily Mail, they want to create a new stage show fashioned around their greatest hits of the 1970s. However, given that a large portion of arguably their best known hits - including "Stayin' Alive", "Jive Talkin'", "Disco Inferno" and "How Deep Is Your Love" - hail from the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever, which was adapted for its West End musical premiere in 1998, it's difficult to imagine that such a show could amount to much.

2nd Edition
By Christopher Shields
Routledge – 2014 – 510 pages
Series: The Routledge Philosophers
Routledge – 2014 – 510 pages
Series: The Routledge Philosophers
In this extensively revised new edition of his excellent guidebook, Christopher Shields introduces the whole of Aristotle's philosophy, showing how his powerful conception of human nature shaped much of his thinking on the nature of the soul and the mind, ethics, politics, and the arts.
Beginning with a brief biography, Shields carefully explains the fundamental elements of Aristotle's thought: his explanatory framework, his philosophical methodology, and his four-causal explanatory scheme. Subsequently he discusses Aristotle's metaphysics, the theory of categories, logical theory, and his conception of the human being as a composite of soul and body.
The last part concentrates on Aristotle's value theory as applied to ethics and politics, and assesses his approach to happiness, virtue, and the best life for human beings, before turning to a consideration of Aristotle's theory of rhetoric and the arts, with a special focus on his perennially controversial treatment of tragedy.
This second edition includes an expanded discussion of Aristotle's method, and new sections on key issues in perception, thought, akrasia, and mimesis. It concludes with an expanded assessment of Aristotle's legacy, sketching currently emerging Neo-Aristotelian movements in metaphysics and virtue ethics.
"With this accessible, incisive overview, Shields will become for a new generation of undergraduate and graduate students what W. D. Ross or W. K. C. Guthrie were for previous generations of scholars - a lifeline of clarity in the sometimes murky seas of Aristotle's texts. …a fluid, contemporary analysis of Aristotle that remains lively through candid acknowledgement of textual puzzles and a lucid ordering in exposition. … Summing Up: Essential." - CHOICE
Praise for the first edition:
'This delightful and fully engaging book, written in a sparkling style and abounding in entertaining examples, is designed for those who are new to Aristotle and want to approach him from a contemporary philosophical standpoint. …The book fulfils these goals very well and thereby offers a prime alternative to standard introductions to Aristotle.' – Philosophical Review
'This volume would serve as an excellent survey for undergraduate or graduate students, presenting an accessible and clear overview of Aristotle's major philosophical projects … it delivers clear discussions of many of Aristotle's key philosophical ideas, captures much of what is lively and exciting about Aristotle's thought, and serves as an excellent entry point to more serious study of Aristotle's philosophy.' – Ian Halim, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'Christopher Shields' book introduces the philosophy of Aristotle in a comprehensive, informative and perspicuously argued way that engages with the philosopher's arguments and views with critical surety and acuity.' – Vasilis Politis, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
'An impressive and first-rate overview of Aristotle's philosophy. I can't think of a better introduction.' – Richard Kraut, Northwestern University, USA

Christopher Shields is Professor of Classical Philosophy at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall. His books include Order in Multiplicity: Homonymy in the Philosophy of Aristotle (1999), Ancient Philosophy: A Contemporary Introduction (Routledge, 2011), and (with Robert Pasnau) The Philosophy of Thomas Aquinas (2003). He served as editor of The Blackwell Guide to Ancient Philosophy (2002), and The Oxford Handbook on Aristotle (2012).

Man shot by Knoxville police outside mall released from hospital
KNOXVILLE — A Knoxville man shot earlier this month by a police officer responding to a domestic disturbance outside West Town Mall has been released from a hospital.
Abraham Dudley, 30, has been released from the University of Tennessee Medical Center where he was taken after the Nov. 1 shooting, according to Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk.
Dudley was shot once in the torso with a .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol after being confronted by officers outside the Dillard's store. His condition at the hospital was confidential and the exact date of his release was not available.
DeBusk said no charges have been filed against Dudley. He said the investigation into the shooting is continuing.
Dudley was shot by Officer Christopher Edmonds, who has been placed on administrative leave with pay pending completion of criminal and internal probes of the shooting. The Police Department has a policy of putting officers on leave after a shooting.
Edmonds has been with the Police Department since September 2009, according to DeBusk.
Edmonds and another officer were sent to the mall after witnesses told police Dudley was arguing with a woman in the parking lot and had forced her into his vehicle. The couple's 2-year-old daughter also was in the car.
Dudley was standing outside the car when shot. DeBusk has declined to say if Dudley was shot in the front, side or back of his lower torso.
The second officer on the scene did not discharge a weapon.
DeBusk said because of the ongoing probes, he can't say if a weapon was found on Dudley or in his car.
More details as they develop online and in Wednesday's News Sentinel.

Has anyone used a birthing ball to achieve optimal fetal positioning? The MW mentioned at my last visit (I am 38 weeks) that I should look on Spinning Babies as the baby is in a good position but his head is not in the right spot. She said I was a 2-3 and 50% (this was on Monday) though I have been known to walk around like that for weeks. All of my kids have been born by 38w5d. I saw on SB that the birthing ball was one of the ways to achieve optimal fetal positioning but I am leary about doing it before I am actually in labor, which is when I have used the ball in the past. I am planning another med/intervention free waterbirth with a MW but it will be at a hospital 25min away and my parents live 1hr away in the opposite direction and will be watching my other kids (unless my water breaks first, then we will all just go to the hospital asap). Snow is on the way.......though I am in the "I Am SO Done" club I am not necessarily trying to bring on labor, just to get the babe in position so that labor is easier when the time comes. But if labor starts I will definitely NOT complain ;)
i've used an exercise ball throughout both of my pregnancies. I've found its really comfortable to sit on and one of the only ways I can sit and "relax" without having massive hip/pelvic pain upon standing. As far as it encouraging labor, I can't say necessarily. It's probably not as dramatic as say, squatting, though.
i have sat on birth balls throughout both of my last 2 pregnancies, though it was much more comfortable last time (maybe because this baby is still so high?)... i can't think of how they could possibly induce labor. use it if it feels good- it really is good for fetal positioning, and encourages good posture for us, too. (but you have to be sure it's big enough to serve these purposes, with your hips above your knees. otherwise, it's just a bouncy chair.)
HCM- gentle, all-natural, unconditional mama to three boys (8,6,4) and new baby girl!
With my last birth, I saw the MW at 9a, she said I was at 5 and 100%.....no ctx though so I went home and around 6hrs later the ctx started.....went to the hospital and they stopped but I was at 7 so I stayed since we are 25 min from the hospital......walked around for a while then MW suggested bouncing on the ball as it could bring the babys head into the right position and put pressure on the cervix causing it to dilate/efface more (she was still pretty far up) which was my understanding of how it helps progress labor. That is what the MW (different one) told me this time, that his head is up to far and is not engaged enough to put pressure on the cervix and help it along. I was probably already IN labor though the last time but it was just temporarily stalled or something! And that his head in a bad position was possibly the reason for all my back pain, mainly at night. My ball is big enough but I think it needs a bit of an air boost!!
I have used the same ball for all three pregnancies and, thus, far, all my kids have been in OFP and literally just flown out. It never induced labor (I use it during the whole pregnancy). I will say, age is working against me and it's been the *least* comfortable this go round, though.
Chatty Girl - 3/2006, Lovey Boy - 1/2010, Delicious Baby Girl - 1/2012
How are you using the ball before labor? Just sitting on it instead of a chair? I really don't want another posterior baby and he has been flipping back and forth....
Yep, using it in lieu of a chair. Mainly in the living room when I'm watching TV.
Chatty Girl - 3/2006, Lovey Boy - 1/2010, Delicious Baby Girl - 1/2012
I also have been using my birth ball instead of a chair throughout the entire second half of this pregnancy...it's the only way to sit that is comfortable for me! Also, as a childbirth educator, doula, and midwifery student, I recommend sitting on birth balls to all my clients and students. It will not cause you to go into labor, but can definitely help with getting baby in a great position for birth.
Sprat , Certified Professional Midwife, loved very much by Sprig , the most loving and gentle man in the world, our little Sprout, and now someone new!
I've been sitting on the ball the entire pregnancy and it definitely keeps my pelvis tilted in the right position and helps baby get comfortable. I notice a huge difference in baby's positioning when I'm on the ball vs. a regular chair. I hardly ever use regular chairs anymore, not even in the dining room.
I agree exactly with wombjuice. I also suggest sitting on a birthball instead of a chair, especially in the last trimester. With now 3 out of 4 of my babies (including this one) I've began sitting on it by 20 weeks. I always sit on it at the computer, I sit on it at the table during meals, pretty much anytime I want to sit. Sitting on it definitely does not start labor, just helps move baby where baby needs to be. If you did go into labor, i would be because it's time, not from sitting on the ball. :)
I love sitting on a birthing/exercise ball. Especially during labor, definitely worth the investment.

In the News: Memphis Tigers baseball team holds off Houston
University of Memphis starter Caleb Wallingford allowed four hits over seven scoreless innings and the visiting Tigers held off a ninth-inning rally by No. 15 Houston to take the series opener 2-1 on Friday.
An error and hit batter led to a 1-0 lead for the Tigers (16-9, 2-2 American) against a pitching staff that was leading the nation in earned-run average. Zach Willis reached on an error to start the game and Ethan Gross was hit by a pitch to put two on with no outs. Jake Little executed a sacrifice bunt, then Tucker Tubbs' groundout made it 1-0.
In the sixth, a leadoff single by Drew Griffin got the Tigers going and Gross added a one-out single through the right side to put runners on the corners with one out. Little lifted a fly ball to center and the sacrifice fly drove in Griffin to make it 2-0.
Wallingford (4-1) walked two. In the ninth, Houston (20-5, 0-1) had runners on the corners with no outs, and Bryce Beeler relieved for the Tigers. Beeler struck out the first hitter he faced before a fielder's choice allowed one run to score. With a runner on first and two outs, a groundout to first gave Beeler his sixth save of the season.
Memphis and Houston meet again at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
Winn takes new role with M-Club
University of Memphis Director of Athletics Tom Bowen announced Friday that longtime administrator Bob Winn has accepted a new role with the M-Club.
Winn has been in the Tigers' athletic department for more than 40 years. Most recently he was associate athletic director for external affairs.
Winn will assist M-Club director Dwight Boyd with increasing membership and creating new ways to engage former Tigers. Winn will continue as curator of the Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway Athletics Hall of Fame and will coordinate all tours of the Hall of Fame exhibits.
Djokovic, Nadal advance to Sony final
Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic advanced to the Sony Open final without playing a point Friday at Key Biscayne, Fla.
Both advanced when their semifinal opponents withdrew for health reasons.
"It's very unlucky, very unusual for something that can happen," said Nadal. "Sorry for Kei (Nishikori), sorry for Tomas (Berdych) and sorry for the tournament, especially the fans."
They'll play for the title Sunday in their 40th career meeting and their first of 2014.
Djokovic received a walkover for the second time in the tournament when Nishikori withdrew because of a left groin injury. Four hours later, Berdych withdrew before his match against Nadal because of gastroenteritis.
That left the tournament with only two women's doubles matches for spectators. Former No. 1 singles player Martina Hingis advanced to her first doubles final since 2007 when she and Sabine Lisicki beat Cara Black and Sania Mirza 6-3, 6-4.
No. 1 Serena Williams will try for her seventh Key Biscayne singles title when she plays No. 2 Li Na on Saturday.
Northwestern to appeal union ruling
Northwestern University on Friday criticized a federal agency's landmark ruling giving Wildcat football players approval to form the nation's first college athletic union, also confirming that it will appeal.
If it withstands an appeal, the decision this week by the regional director of the National Labor Relations Board in Chicago, Peter Ohr, could fundamentally change a college sports industry worth billions of dollars.
Vice President for University Relations Alan Cubbage said in a Friday statement that Ohr had "applied incorrect legal standards."
"Northwestern believes the decision overlooked or completely ignored much of the critical testimony supporting the University's position that student-athletes are not employees of Northwestern," he said.
Reached by telephone later Friday, Ohr declined to comment.
George Washington has extended men's basketball coach Mike Lonergan's contract through the 2020-21 season. The Colonials lost to Memphis in the second round of the NCAA tournament last week and finished 24-9. ... Minnesota has fired basketball coach Pam Borton, a day after a loss to South Dakota State in the women's NIT that ended the Golden Gophers' fifth straight season without an NCAA tournament appearance. Borton is the winningest coach in program history with a 236-152 record in 12 seasons.
LaQuinton Ross, Ohio State's leading scorer and rebounder, plans to give up his senior season to pursue a pro career, coach Thad Matta said Friday. Ross, a 6-8 junior from Jackson, Miss., averaged 15.2 points and 5.9 rebounds while leading the Buckeyes to a 25-10 record last season that ended with a second-round, 60-59 loss to Dayton in the NCAA tournament. ... Xavier's leading scorer, sophomore guard Semaj Christon, will enter the NBA draft. The shooting guard was a first-team All-Big East player, averaging 17 points per game last season.

Guillem Balague
Spanish Football Expert & Columnist @GuillemBalague
The story so far...
Guillem Balague takes a look back at what's happened in the Spanish season to date.
Last Updated: 29/12/11 1:42pm
Sky Sports has brought you every twist and turn of the Spanish season so far.
From players' strikes to surprise sides at the top of the table there's been plenty to talk about on our weekly discussion show Revista de La Liga and as usual there has been a glut of spectacular action to savour in our weekly live matches.
With La Liga in the midst of a mid-season break, our Spanish football expert Guillem Balague took some time out to review what we've seen so far. Read on for his summary and we hope this whets your appetite for what's to come on Sky Sports' Spanish football coverage in 2012...
Barcelona finished last season as La Liga champions, their third in a row and they also won their second Champions League trophy in three years.
This season Jose Mourinho looked to add to Real Madrid's Copa del Rey trophy and wasted no time as he strengthened what was already one of Europe's strongest squads.
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola mulled over the signings of Udinese's Alexis Sanchez and Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas. Alexis completed his move and left plenty of time for the will-he-won't-he-will-he-won't-he saga of Cesc to drag on until he finally came home and everybody was happy!
Third-placed Valencia were shrewd in the market, picking up Sergio Canales, Daniel Parejo and Pablo Piatti, while Atletico Madrid's new manager Gregorio Manzano brought in Falcao with the target of securing Champions League qualification.
That was also the case for Manuel Pellegrini who had a busy summer signing Santi Cazorla and Ruud van Nistelrooy among others as Malaga became one of Europe's biggest spenders.
We also welcomed Granada, Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis back to La Liga to join the rest of the superstars as we geared up for another exciting and entertaining campaign.
Super Cups and strikes
Before La Liga began we had an appetiser; the Spanish Super Cup, but not just any game, it was a Clasico in two parts.
In pre-season Real Madrid prepared themselves to make the first impact; to win a psychological advantage and be able to say they'd won the first title. Real played better, but Lionel Messi - who according to Xavi was still wearing beach flip-flops - won it for Barcelona.
Then La Liga started with Week One... but actually it didn't! There was a players' strike (we cannot organise a party in a brewery), so La Liga started with Week Two!
La Liga new boys Real Betis were top of the table by Week Five, while Barcelona had scored 19 goals in the first four games - but had drawn away at Real Sociedad and Valencia, the first indications of a team that was performing better at home than they were away. The brightest star was the one who many people didn't think would play regularly for Barcelona, Cesc Fabregas, who scored in each of his first four games.
What about Real Madrid? They didn't recover completely from their Super Cup loss. A defeat against Levante and a draw against Racing suggested not everything was right with the side. The Spanish players demanded more flexibility with tactics and a more relaxed atmosphere. Jose Mourinho agreed - and Real Madrid got better.
Valencia: the football city of 2011?
In Week Nine, Levante had the honour of leading the table for the first time in their history - and these were players that earn in a year what Cristiano Ronaldo earns in a week! It was a football fairytale that captured the heart of all of Spain.
Levante were flying high, but neighbours Valencia were given the news that they'd secured the finances to finish their new 75,000 capacity stadium in a couple of years. Not in the short term perhaps, but in a few years' time I think Barcelona and Madrid should be afraid.
It wasn't long before Real Madrid and Barcelona returned to the top of the table, closely followed by Valencia in third - thanks to somebody who became the best Spanish goalscorer in 2011. That man wasn't David Villa, Fernando Torres, Fernando Llorente or Alvaro Negredo - but Roberto Soldado.
Unai Emery made Soldado believe in his talents and as a consequence his personality grew and he even became one of the captains of the team.
A crucial Clasico
The champions stumbled at Getafe and for the first time in four years, Real Madrid looked like the favourites coming into the Clasico.
They arrived on the back of 15 consecutive victories, Cristiano Ronaldo looked more of a team player, Sergio Ramos looked strong in the centre of defence and it was Mourinho's second year in charge.
Barcelona looked poorer when they played away - but you can never write them off. They secured a win at the Bernabeu and the race for the title was open again.
In the last league game of the year the Malaga experiment went to the Mestalla, but Valencia won the match to finish 2011 within touching distance of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Will they continue to challenge? Will Real Madrid win La Liga without even beating Barcelona? Will Barcelona improve their away form? Will mighty Zaragoza get relegated?
For those answers and more, watch Spanish football on Sky Sports!

Aviva Premiershp: Sale Sharks devour Exeter Chiefs
Last Updated: 19/04/14 5:40pm
Vadim Cobilas and Eifion Lewis Roberts wrap up Exeter's Damian Welch
Sale Sharks ran in eight tries on their way to a crushing 55-12 victory over their top six rivals Exeter Chiefs to clinch a place in next season's European Rugby Champions Cup.
It was Sale's first win against the Devon club at Sandy Park and they had the bonus point secured by the hour mark.
Two tries in two minutes approaching the half-hour through Tom Arscott and Sam Tuitupou, added to an earlier touchdown from Michael Paterson, gave the Sharks a commanding 19-7 half-time lead.
Fly-half Danny Cipriani added two of his three first-half conversion attempts - the other hit the upright - but Exeter finally troubled the scoreboard just before the break with a try from Fetu'u Vainikolo which Gareth Steenson converted.
The Sharks dominated the second half with as second try from Tuitupou plus one each from Dwayne Peel, Dave Seymour and Tom Brady and Russia international second row Andrei Ostrikov.
Cipriani added two conversions with his replacement Joe Ford also landing a drop-goal and two conversions. Exeter's only reply in a very poor display came late in the half through Carl Rimmer.
Sale opened the scoring when they won an Exeter lineout which led to a break from second row Paterson, who shrugged off three poor tackles to power over the line for a Sharks try which Cipriani converted from the touchdown.
Unforced errors and missed first-up tackles continued to hamper the Chiefs' play and allow Sale to gain the territorial advantage. From a scrum, the ball was worked the ball wide with Cipriani giving the scoring pass for full back Arscott to touch down.
Cipriani saw his conversion attempt from close to the right touchline hit the near upright, but he drilled the ball between the posts a couple of minutes later after Viliami Fahiki had broken tackles and offloaded to Seymour for Tuitupou to score.
Exeter reduced the arrears just before the break. Tonga international Vainikolo sprinted 30 minutes down the left touchline and round behind the posts for a try and Steenson added the extras to leave the Chiefs trailing 19-7.
Pinned back
Sale pinned their hosts back in to their own half early after the restart but, when the Chiefs settled into their game and made progress towards the opposition line, they went for the wrong options and lacked cohesion.
Approaching the midway point of the half, the Sharks earned their bonus point as Tuitupou raced 35 metres to score his second try under the posts with Cipriani, who gave the scoring pass, adding the extras.
This took the game beyond the Chiefs but the Sharks added salt to the hosts' wounds as scrum-half Peel, who is moving to Bristol next season, scored in the right corner and Cipriani converted.
The embarrassment continued with Sale taking advantage as the Chiefs lineout proved too long and skipper Seymour collected to run the 20 metres to score under the posts. Replacement fly-half Ford converted and then a drop-goal.
Brady went over in the corner for the Sharks' seventh try as the Chiefs supporters began to leave the ground with five minutes still to play, Ford's touchline conversion attempt hitting the upright.
Just as in the first half, Exeter rallied in the closing minutes with a try from a driving maul with replacement prop Rimmer getting the touchdown.
But that was as good as it got for the Chiefs as replacement lock Ostrikov crossed for Sale's eighth and final try, which was converted by Ford.
Aviva Premiership 2013/14 Round 20

Two swords are better than one!!
Infinity Sword
An Infinity Sword is able to summon numerous Conwell swords for battle. This gives him remarkably high melee combo potential compared to most characters, most likely as a compensation for his non-existent magic attack. He also has reduced MP cost for active skills with the passive skill, Fighting Spirit and a movement and damage buff with the passive skill, Lightning Surge.
Throughout his ordeals all over the continent as the Sheath Knight, Elsword observes how the scabbard Conwell takes in the dark El energy from the infected monsters he faces. This troubles him and leads him to consult the spirit of Conwell on how to stop the contamination—Conwell must absorb the dark El energy at first and then transfer it to Elsword.
The spirit counsels Elsword that this remedy will stir the gloom in his heart, unless he conquers it with might. The red-haired boy's confidence is unfazed by the challenge before him, and he lets Conwell do what must be done. In time, the dark El energy changes them both in ability, empowering Elsword—now known as the Infinity Sword—to multiply the scabbard and call on an unlimited number of swords for battle.
Second Class Advancement
At Lv35, Sheath Knight can advance into Infinity Sword. The second class advancement quest is obtained from Ariel, the event NPC located in every town.
Infinity Sword can also be obtained by using the Item Mall item: Dark Elshard Fragment.

Backstory of Infinity Sword in comic format. Click Here
- A common misconception is that Infinity Sword is corrupted due to absorbing the Dark El, however he still retains most of his personality.
- According to the official manhwa, "Blade Works", Elsword absorbed the Dark El, which caused the side of his hair to turn black.
- Upon advancing to Infinity Sword, Elsword's eyes in-game change to a sharper expression.
- Infinity Sword is the first character able to inflict bleed passively, followed by Crimson Avenger.
- Conwell swings don't get their color outline changed upon Awakening, thus remaining blue.

I'm laid back and a little goofy at times. Not to be mistaken for immature, I just know who I am and what I like, and am looking for someone with just as much sense of self. One of the greatest things is to be able to laugh at yourself, so I'm looking for someone with a great sense of humor who doesnt take herself too seriously and can find as much satisfaction in a netflix night or walking through the rain as in going out to a ritzy restaurant. I'm loyal to a fault and like to believe the best about people. If I had to pick three words to describe what I'm attracted to, they'd be energetic, charismatic, and exuberant - both intellectually and physically. I'd like to meet someone I can relate to and talk to... Someone who strikes the right balance between being career or goal oriented, and wanting to eventually have a family. Sense of adventure is a must... There are some weekends when I just need to go somewhere new or try something I've never done before. Above all, however, I'm a fan of learning new things and finding new challenges to overcome. I'm a veteran, I've studied music my whole life, but in undergrad I studied political science and spanish, and I did my graduate work in Public Affairs and Government/Int Relations and business. Recently decided to get out of the rat race for a bit and to actually live life to the fullest without the distraction of work. I'm taking the year to travel, dive, sail, adventure and make some memories before starting law school in the fall. A couple thoughts... and if you can appreciate my sense of humor, we'll get along just fine... There was a time when I was around 7 when I was pretty much confident I could either be Bigfoot or live with him. Did I carry a lot of lead paint-saturated toys in my mouth as a child? Possibly. But Harry and the Hendersons clinched it for me that Bigfoot was awesome and probably just misunderstood. If I could find him, domesticate him and train him to play tag, we would be the best of friends for all eternity... and finally...If you're wrongly accused of a crime, probably the worst thing you can do is blow stuff up to prove how innocent you are. That's extremely unacceptable behavior, it really is. The A-team featured a grizzled old dude who just didn't give a crap, a lunatic, a suave James Bond and Mr. T. By the way, that's a guy who hasn't seen fit to change the way he looks in 30 years and is known by a letter. That s**t is hardcore. And if you cant appreciate my sense of humor, I'm sorry... I've had the Cantina song from Star Wars running through my head for as long as I can remember and it leaves little room for coherent though... Think we could find something to talk about?? Send me a message, a smoke signal, a haiku... just say more than "hi" !!!

I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Horses
Middle of the Road
Favorite spots include Gaslamp... but travel destinations to make any life complete should include Italy, Hong Kong and San Fran, but I still need to visit Australia and New Zealand
My guilty vices include Chinese and Italian cuisine... My favorite TV Shows include West Wing, The Office, Lost, and The League. My favorite book is The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho.
I'll try anything once. I love going out to the movies, staying in, reading, writing, photography, and traveling, even if it's just a weekend trip across the country. I enjoy people watching, playing music, and being out on the water or beach.
I read the economist and news everyday, but the last books I read were Idiot's Guide to Photography, and a book on Law School Essays.

Hi there. Im looking for an intelligent, witty, openminded guy who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, get lost, or get a pizza on a Friday night with me. I hope what sets me apart from the other sterotypical match profiles ( yes, I'm from the midwest with those midwest values; yes, I have a good sense of humor; and yes, I like a good patio happy hour, Wash Park, and the mountains) are some of these random things: I like to bake cookies, make out, and laugh ( not necessarily in that order- but if it works out that way, well then....). I read insatiably and holding crow in yoga is my summer goal. Playing tennis is my passion. I teach high school English and I love my students because they are always fun, interesting and teach me about compassion and humility every day. I believe in being kind to others. I like going to hockey games. I'm an early riser. The Ogden is my favorite place to see a show. I think surfing is hard. Brazil, Nicaragua, Greece, Italy and most recently Tulum Mexico are all places I have visted. I have had some great long term relationships that have taught me the importance of being true to yourself. I own a very nice gas grill and a ping pong table. I can beat you at Scrabble. I'm terrible at wrapping presents, but not giving them. I think people should be so busy enjoying their lives they don't have time to worry, but sometimes I worry. I've always wanted to learn to play the drums. I wish I would have thought of the wine sipping and painting thing. I'm addicted to the foodnetwok. Go Cubbies. If you think we might have some fun together, send me an email. Thanks for reading. .

Fields Named to Walter Camp Award Watch List
July 18, 2014
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- TCU defensive end and Big 12 Preseason Defensive Player of the Year Devonte Fields has been named to the watch list for the 2014 Walter Camp Player of the Year Award.
Fields is one of just five defensive linemen on the list. The Walter Camp Player of the Year Award is the nation's fourth-oldest individual college football accolade.
Fields was the 2012 Associated Press Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year as a true freshman, when he led the conference with 18 1/2 tackles for loss while placing third with 10 sacks. The 10 sacks, which tied for fourth in a season by a Horned Frog, broke the TCU freshman record of seven set by eventual NFL All-Pro Aaron Schobel in 1997. Fields took part in a sack in nine of 13 games. His 53 tackles topped the defensive front. He added two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, interception and four pass breakups.
Fields was limited to just three games last season due to injury.
A sophomore from Fort Worth, Fields also appears on watch lists for the Chuck Bednarik Award, Rotary Lombardi Award and Bronko Nagurski Trophy.
TCU has had five Walter Camp All-America selections in the last six seasons (Jerry Hughes, 2008-09; Tejay Johnson, 2010; Jake Kirkpatrick, 2010; Jason Verrett, 2012-13).
TCU has nine returning starters, not including Fields, on defense this season.

About Me
My name is Amy Madsen and I have been teaching fitness classes for over 30 years. I am certified to teach through the Aerobic and Fitness Assocation of America and I love leading Zumba classes. The reason is simple: Every class feels like a party! Come join me and you'll see what I mean. You don't even have to know how to dance. Just move your body and follow my lead. It's easy! Check out my class schedule to find a location you like. Or click "Contact Instructor" to send me an e-mail and I'll get in touch with you about finding a class. Come try it, I guarantee you will have a blast! I look forward to meeting you!
