While Microsoft is trying to clear out Surface RT inventories to get ready for the second-generation tablet, Wal-Mart has just started selling the device across the United States.
WPCentral reports that both the Surface RT and the Pro tablets can now be found at Wal-Mart, with pricing starting at $349 for the RT version with 32 GB of storage space (no Touch Cover included). The Pro model costs $899 for the 64 GB unit.
It appears that stocks are limited, so in case you want to buy a Surface tablet from Wal-Mart, you'll most likely have to hurry up a little bit until they get sold out.
As far as the second-generation is concerned, CEO Steve Ballmer has reportedly confirmed the development in an internal meeting, with hardware upgrades very likely to be part of the launch.

Good for beginners and professionals looking for more control.
This Vandoren clarinet mouthpiece is one of the most popular facings. The beak is more graduated for comfort.
Vandoren mouthpieces are known for their high, uniform quality—among the best of the mass produced—and are especially popular among clarinetists. The Vandoren line is extensive. It covers all woodwinds and offers designs suited to a variety of playing and musical styles.

Comments about Vandoren 5RV Lyre Series Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece:
This is a perfect mouthpiece for any student clarinetist. I use it with my student model clarinet for teaching. Makes playing clarinet for students much more enjoyable, as they don't have to fight the poor stock mouthpiece that came with their student model clarinet. Worth every penny! 5RV might be better for older students because it provides more resistance. 5RV Lyre is better for younger students.
Comments about Vandoren 5RV Lyre Series Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece:
Glad I made that choice for my daughter. I look forward to years of great performances.
My daughter really loves it. She said that it is more confortable than her old mouthpiece. She has been enjoying her new mouthpiece since November 11 and she thinks that the sounds are more controlled and warmer.
The quality is remarkable. Hopefully, it will last for a little while.
This mouthpiece is a great bargain. The price was very reasonable and the quality was outstanding.
Comments about Vandoren 5RV Lyre Series Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece:
I play on a brand new E-11 Bb clarinet with a 5RV Lyre mouthpiece and a BG Super Revolation ligature.
This mouthpiece gives a better tone than mouthpieces such as the B45 and stock mouthpieces. It allows for a warmer more characteristic tone and it is easy to feel the difference when you play. Paired with a BG Super Revolation Ligature, you have the equipment to sound like a true clarinet soloist (and also sound as great in an ensemble).
I would recommend this mouthpiece to intermediate students and above who are serious about playing the clarient.

It is education about past and present Brothers, and it is education about what makes a good members. The senseless act of hazing not only creates liability risk for the chapter and Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc., but also hinders the development of the friendships that are the basis of Brotherhood. The majority of states consider hazing to be a felony. This means that, in those states, a lawsuit resulting from a hazing activity might exclude insurance coverage for members who were aware of or condoned a hazing activity.

According to Lance Zierlein of the Houston Chronicle, there are rumors around the league that the Green Bay Packers might be interested in trading wide receiver James Jones.
Zierlein brought up the fact that Jones would be a nice fit for the Texans, since they could use some depth at the receiver position.
It would make sense for the Packers to deal Jones, since they're already loaded at the receiver position and he seemed to have problems with dropping passes last season.
In the end, I could only see the Packers getting a fourth or fifth round pick in return for Jones.

World Briefs: June 16
Rice upset by homes on disputed land
Israel's persistent building of Jewish homes on disputed land undermines the U.S.-backed attempt to write an Israeli-Palestinian peace draft this year and invites questions about Israel's motives, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday.
The visiting U.S. envoy said Israel must understand the pall its actions cast over talks and on the confidence of the U.S., European nations and others that Israel is bargaining in good faith.
"No party should be taking steps at this point that could prejudice the outcome of the negotiation," she said after meetings with Palestinian officials. She stressed that the United States won't regard any settlements Israel builds now as permanent Israeli territory.
1.2 million flee flooding; 55 killed
BEIJING — At least 55 people have died and seven are missing in flooding across a broad stretch of southern China, state media reported Sunday.
More than 1.2 million people have been forced to flee their homes across nine provinces, including Sichuan, which is still reeling from last month's earthquake that killed almost 70,000 people, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Heavy rain in Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces will raise water levels downstream, Xinhua says. Most areas are expected to receive more heavy rain in the next 10 days.
Victims sought after quake-caused slide
KURIHARA — Rescue teams using shovels and buckets tried Sunday to dig their way to seven people believed trapped in a landslide at a hot springs resort after a deadly earthquake pounded the mountains of northern Japan, killing at least six and injuring more than 200.
Saturday's 7.2-magnitude quake triggered several major landslides, blocking roads and stranding bathers at the Komanoyu hot spring resortin a heavily forested mountainous area.

Traffic Jammin' with Janis Mara – Every Monday at 2pm on Claycord.com.
TRAFFIC JAMMER: Greetings, all! This Claycord.com column is for everyone who negotiates the highways and public transit of the Bay Area. It runs every Monday at 2pm and answers your commuting and transportation questions.
Email your questions to email@example.com.
COMMUTER: Nearly every morning as we travel westbound Ygnacio Valley Road and prepare to turn right on Ayers Road, we find a string of cars that are using the improved shoulder as an extended right turn lane. This shoulder runs for about 1000 feet before the actual right turn lane. Rain or shine, we will see cars driving on the shoulder to avoid the backup and having to wait a few extra seconds before turning.
In researching the Vehicle Code, this seems to be illegal behavior. But perhaps we're missing something that permits this driving?
Attached is a video that shows the section of westbound Ygnacio and what it looks like each morning around 8 a.m. If this is illegal, do you think the Concord police would like to make some money? Or alternatively, if this is a common practice and seems like people need the right turn to be longer, is there a reason that improved shoulder couldn't be marked instead as a full right turn lane?
Sign us, "Perhaps Others Like Keeping Ahead, Driving On The Shoulder" (a.k.a. POLKA DOTS)
TRAFFIC JAMMER: Thanks, POLKA DOTS, for the great video you sent along. The Jammer saw right away that this was a job for our resident law enforcement officer, who is himself a Claycordian in every way, as his family lives here and he also works here. The officer kindly penned this response:
"Passing using the shoulder is unlawful. Refer to California Vehicle Code section 21755(a) which states: 'The driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass another vehicle upon the right only under conditions permitting that movement in safety. In no event shall that movement be made by driving off the paved or main-traveled portion of the roadway.'
The shoulder is not the main-traveled portion of the roadway. It is for emergencies. Also, if traffic is bumper-to-bumper and inching along, passing on the shoulder (where you are NOT supposed to be anyway) even at 25 mph or slower can be "dangerous" and, therefore, violate the code.
I like to play these scenarios in my head (and for the readers, too): So I am in my emergency vehicle (pick your favorite: fire truck, ambulance, or police car). I am headed to an emergency with my lights flashing and siren sounding. What are drivers required to do by law: CVC 21806?
Well, it says: "…the driver of every other vehicle shall yield the right-of-way and shall immediately drive to the right-hand edge or curb of the highway, clear of any intersection, and thereupon shall stop and remain stopped until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed." (Emphasis added)
So, if I am trying to get by, the right lane (#2 lane in this case), moves to the shoulder, the left lane (#1 lane) moves to the #2 lane, and I have a clear path to the emergency.
For those that use the shoulder: not only are you violating the law, but you are also driving in peril. There is SO MUCH debris that gets thrown to the shoulder, especially on a thoroughfare like Ygnacio Valley Road, it is –well- perilous. Believe me, I work there.
There are a bevy of laws that govern what is allowed and what is not when it comes to passing. In short, passing on the right is discouraged. Refer to the following sections: 21750 CVC directs you to pass on the left, 21754 CVC gives specific examples of when it is OK to pass on the right, as does 21650(f) CVC.
And. lastly, I have to address the "police make some money" comment. <Yawns, drums fingers on the table> Really? This is so tiresome. Folks, Claycord cities get pennies on the dollar for the fines imposed in citations. There simply isn't enough revenue in issuing citations to impact a suburban city's budget.
Even in metropolitan cities, the revenue from parking citations barely impacts the budget. The citations issued in Claycord are, mostly, issued to address hazardous driving (whether you agree with them or not). And there are studies to prove that focused traffic enforcement has an effect on drivers' behavior.
As for the engineering of or elongating the turn lane … now, that has some traction. We always say there are three E's to traffic: Education, Enforcement, and Engineering. Well, we have covered two here. The rest is up to you, Janis.
COMMUTER: I've got a question for one of your automotive experts. Cars are getting smarter with every new model. For years, cars have been able to turn on their own headlights when it gets dark. So why in the world can't they turn on the headlights when the wipers are on?
–Regards, Cowellian
TRAFFIC JAMMER: Our resident automotive expert, Las Positas College automotive faculty member Brian Hagopian, answered the question:
"Actually some models do just that. The one I am most familiar with is the 2006 Cadillac CTS, I owned one! As time goes on, more and more models get these features, and until the federal government creates a law… it will just be a luxury item.
For example, rear view cameras, soon enough there will be a federal law that every car will be required to have one for child safety. People cannot see little kids behind them because of body design."
The Jammer thought she'd share Hagopian's email tagline, because she really liked it: "Never trust quotes you find on the internet." – Benjamin Franklin
In addition to Mr. Hagopian, several smart Claycordians contributed their expertise on the windshield wiper subject. The first to comment was Been There, who said, "In fact the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country has that exact feature. If the windshield wipers have been on for more than a few seconds, and you have it set to the automatic lights mode, the headlights come on. Very convenient!"
Kali shared that the 2005 Chrysler also has automatic lights, and A said his or her 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis has the feature. crazytech58 said, "Newer cars have this feature," so if you have a recent model and it's not yet activated, check your owner's manual on how to do so.
COMMUTER: One of my pet peeves is when I am driving along in the right-hand lane, a driver merging onto the freeway ahead of me will cut over the solid white line dividing the entrance ramp and the freeway. I narrowly missed a collision when this happened the other day.
Shouldn't those drivers wait until they get to the broken line? Is it against the law to cross the solid line?
–Hates the Unexpected
TRAFFIC JAMMER: HTU, your signature tells the story. The more we know what to expect from other motorists, the easier it is to drive safely and avoid crashes. This is why people who don't signal annoy the Jammer so much.
In order, the answers to your question are yes and no. The drivers should wait until they reach the broken line to merge onto the freeway. If they do not do so, however, it is not punishable by law. By all means, however, depending on the situation, the driver who crosses the solid line could be cited for unsafe lane change, unsafe turning movement, reckless driving or following too closely.
TRAFFIC JAMMER: That's it for this week – see you next Monday. Be sure to cruise by Claycord.com at 2pm for more traffic intelligence. Remember, whether you drive, walk, bike or hop Amtrak, BART or AC Transit, Traffic Jammer Janis Mara is here to answer your questions.

Marty Reisman died yesterday at 82. Novelist Howard Jacobson looks back on the career of a great table tennis purist—and a great table tennis player.
July 12, 2012
ASK WHO IS THE most charismatic Conservative in Britain right now, and the answer will come straight back: Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, once shadow minister for the arts, now mayor of London, columnist for The Daily Telegraph, comic turn-taker, and coquette. And soon to be leader of the Tory Party? Not according to him.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Rap Again…
Freaky Zekey is rhyming now. The Diplomats are now officially a problem. These dudes are like the antithesis of the Wu-Tang Clan. Think about it… What rap group has as many niggas in it as the Wu, but the aggregate skills of the entire clique are nil? Who do you really want to hear in the Dips? Cam? Jimmy?! Juelz?!?
Cam'Ron was white hot a few years ago in the 'Hey Ma' era and I honestly enjoyed listening to him more than Jigga, but since then Cam has become trash. It's like he hasn't pushed his style any further. If you rhyme the exact same way you did ten years ago it says to me that you haven't grown as an artist. The problem could be that Cam'Ron is doing too much shit right now other than rapping. Maybe he's drinking that Syzzurp. I did. That shit was nasty.
Juelz has been on the cusp of becoming that next great voice for too long. It's like his window is closing on him being a young nigga with status. Eventually you have to step up and deliver. Juelz has had them moments where you say "Awww shit, this lil' niggas about to kill it!", but afterwards you say, "meh." Juelz might have Ken Griffey Jr. Syndrome. We call Ken Griffey Jr. 'The Kid' up until this day and his azz is damn near forty years old. You ain't no kid no more Ken Griffey Jr., and you ain't no lil' nigga no more Juelz. It's time for you to step up for real. Let J.R. Writer be the lil' nigga now.
For a minute now Jimmy has been rhyming, and I'm being generous by calling it that. At least he's established his voice in the game. It's like a gloriously stoned version of Tupac. Cam and Jimmy together have styles that play off each other. Where Juelz was definitely supposed to be Cam taken to that next next. Now several years later after some mean classic collabos with the Heatmakerz production unit the Dips have begun to backslide into obscurity. I say obscurity in the context that these niggas were supposed to be in the lead and the first dudes that come to mind when you want to hear some sick spit. Too bad that shit hasn't materialized.
So now fresh from the pen after doing three bullets for ecstasy Freaky Zekey might just save the Diplomats movement. That 'Suga Dooga' track has a classic Harlem World type sound. I'm feeling the guitar strum and the phony gospel broad in the background. Did Heatmakerz do this joint? I don't know but I like it. This is the kind of start to the summer season that the Dips need. You have to put your bangers on the table while everyone is out at the park and the beaches and the convertible tops are laying low. You have to bang all year actually, but especially in the summer. I think the Dips can pull it off.
Can anyone say, "Baaaaaalin'!"

NEXUS Membership Lowers Border Wait Times
Membership in the nexus program simplifies and speeds up border crossing between Canada and the U.S. for pre-approved travellers.
As part of the Federal Government's Border Action Plan, the nexus program encourages cross border travel and creates economic benefits for both countries. By pre-approving travellers under nexus, border services officers are able to concentrate their efforts on unknown or higher-risk travellers and goods.
With more than 682,000 nexus members enrolled, new initiatives are underway to increase membership, allowing even more Canadians and Americans to travel across our border quickly and safely.
Effective immediately, the three-year residency requirement for Canadian and United States citizens to apply to nexus has been lifted. This means citizens of Canada or the United States currently residing abroad, or who have recently returned to Canada or the United States, are now eligible to apply.
In addition, application blitzes are underway to encourage enrolment. Three recent blitzes enrolled over 1,000 new nexus members in two months.
For more information visit the Canada Border Services Agency website.

Today, we look at installing a GM Performance LS3 into a 1970 Chevrolet Caprice. Removing the stock motor and transmission will shave several hundred pounds of weight as you replace your old drivetrain that can weigh as much as 850 pounds combined. With modern technology, you will have efficiency, power, and the reliability of a new car.
A few issues ago, we started prepping for our install. After assembling all of the pulleys and accessories, we figured out that the factory A/C would need to be relocated at a different time. Once all the components that we chose to use were bolted on, we were ready to start on the mocking up of the engine. With a brand new hoist and TD engine leveler that our buddy Brian Brennan let us borrow, it was easy to mock up the engine that was pulled in and out at least 12 times over a two-day period.
With these engines seeing an increase in availability through local dealerships or even directly from GM Performance, the LS transplants have become more popular. Now follow along, as we prep this LS3 for a Caprice transplant.
1. This GM Performance LS3 was ready to be transplanted.
2. To make the install easy, we pulled the front clip off the car.
3. The stock small-block 350 was a good design, but it needed to be upgraded with modern technology.
4. We pulled the whole engine and transmission out together so we could save time.
5. With a clean slate, we were ready to start on our Caprice transplant.
6. Calin helped us get our first measurements, so we could see the first obstacles that needed to be dealt with.
7. The stock oil pan did not work in our application and needed to be switched.
8. Here are three different oil pans that are currently the most popular. The first is the GM Camaro oil pan, but it did not work in our application, as the steering linkage won't clear the oil pan. The second one is the LS retro-fit Holley oil pan. The third one is a GM muscle car oil pan, which cleared the steering, but hung below the frame. We needed to use the Holley pan to fit our job.
9. The Holley pan has a few benefits, including the sump baffle that will keep the oil from sloshing around the pan when braking, accelerating, and hopping.
10. Holley's new LS Retro–fit Engine Oil Pan is designed to help! It provides maximum clearance to the chassis and ground, plus provides an OEM fitment for durability and proper sealing.
11. With the right oil pan, we were ready for the next obstacle.
12. It was time to install the Gearstar transmission.
13. The whole drivetrain went in together, so that all of the mounts could be checked.
14. We hung the engine over the stock motor mounts in order to get measurements and see if we could use the stock motor mounts.
15. There are several LS motor mount brackets to place your engine in the stock location. We opted to use the Energy Suspension brackets and mounts.

It's the 1963 holiday season in New York, and talented actress Danica Britt is newly engaged to Tyler Newton, star of their television sitcom. History professor-novelist Zane McCaul visits the studio and encounters Dannie, who is being considered for the starring role in the tv production of his best-seller. Although Zane is fourteen years her senior and burdened by a polio-limp, his subtle charisma and ironic expression reveal an inner star quality that soon draws Dannie's professional and personal attention. Widowed, lonely and reserved, Zane is enthralled by the fey, nervy young beauty whose incandescence seems to promise future stardom. Complicated by Dannie's ambition and her engagement to the enigmatic Tyle, a complex, edgy relationship develops between the professor and the actress, based on collaboration, Dannie's desire for a mentor, and Zane's desire for her. The Autumn in Cranky Otter series is a 20th Century American family tapestry, woven of the love stories and luminous psychic threads binding four generations.

Morning Sickness (Vomiting During Pregnancy)
Morning Sickness (Vomiting During Pregnancy) Overview
While you are pregnant, nausea and vomiting are common. A majority of women get mild to moderate symptoms during the first three months (first trimester) of pregnancy. These symptoms are usually gone by the fourth month.
Although this condition is often called morning sickness, most women have symptoms throughout the day.
Very rarely, a pregnant woman may experience a more serious condition involving severe vomiting, dehydration, and weight loss. This is called hyperemesis gravidarum.
Vomiting During Pregnancy Causes
The exact cause of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy is not clear. Most evidence points to rapid changes in hormone levels. These fluctuations may cause changes in the muscle contraction and relaxation patterns of your stomach and intestines, thus leading to nausea and vomiting.
The hormones that seem to have the most to do with this process include the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), estrogen, and progesterone. Abnormal levels of thyroid hormones have also been reported in women with severe vomiting, although a cause-and-effect relationship remains unclear. Some studies have shown that nausea is worse when your blood sugar level is low. Some researchers have found that women who are more likely to have nausea from birth control pills, migraines, or motion sickness are at higher risk for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy.
If you have a family history of hyperemesis gravidarum, you are more likely to have the condition. What causes hyperemesis gravidarum remains unknown despite active research.
The more popular theories fall into three areas:

March 13, 2010—Opportunities. That's what rugby has given to Salesi Sika. The four-time collegiate All-American from Brigham Young University has played in two Rugby World Cups for the United States, with a third World Cup appearance a possibility. Sika currently plays professionally for Castres Olympique in France where he continues to take advantage of precious opportunities, doing his part to strengthen his team, his family, and the church. Photo: Sika in action for team USA, courtesy of USA Rugby.
LatterDaySports: How many siblings do you have in your family?
Salesi Sika: There are nine biological kids and then we had some other friends who came in and out, living with us.
LatterDaySports: What was that like growing up?
Sika: I'm the youngest, and typical of the youngest, you get all the blame, I guess, from all the other older siblings. We kind of joke a lot, but that's probably why I play rugby. I was kind of toughened up. I kind of got rough-housed by my older siblings when they got frustrated. I was the punching bag I guess. It was fun though. I liked it growing up in a big family. There was always a lot of noise, screaming and fighting over things.
LatterDaySports: Never a dull moment, huh.
Sika: Right.
LatterDaySports: Did you grow up in Tonga the whole time?
Sika: I grew up in Tonga for most of my life, yeah, until I graduated from high school.
LatterDaySports: So did you start playing rugby in high school?
Sika: Yeah. That's when I started playing in an organized game, when I was going to high school.
LatterDaySports: I had read that you played rugby in New Zealand as well.
Sika: In 1998, that's when I went to New Zealand for Form 7 (British system of schooling in between graduating from high school and going to a university). I continued to play rugby there. It was in '98 that I came to Auckland on a government exchange scholarship. I applied for that in '97 and was fortunate enough to be selected. It was a good experience too.
LatterDaySports: How did you go from playing in New Zealand to playing at BYU in Provo, Utah?
Sika: OK. So that was '98, I was a 7th Former. I was going to continue in New Zealand, but somehow, on my way back from summer break, my course deviated, pointing to BYU–Hawaii. In Spring of '99—in April—I applied to both universities, BYU and BYU–Hawaii. I received an acceptance first from BYU–Hawaii, so I went there for Spring and Summer (terms). I think during the Fall, I received an acceptance letter from BYU for Winter semester 2000. So I left BYU–Hawaii (and went) to Provo right after that. That's how I got into Provo.
LatterDaySports: Did you try out for the rugby team right away?
Sika: Yup. Growing up, I always wanted to be involved in some extra-curricular stuff, particularly sports. I just didn't see myself enjoying school without any other activities. When I got to BYU-Provo as a freshmen, an island boy, walking onto a campus of 30,000 students was a huge culture shock for me. Plus the weather, with the snow in the winter semester, that was tough for me. It kind of increased my desire to look for something to be involved in.
So I found out from my brother—who was there at the time—that there was a rugby team. Oh great! Immediately, during the first few days of school, I went to look for the rugby team. I found out where they were practicing—on some field just outside the campus. I walked right in, and introduced myself to the coach and told him I wanted to play rugby. They (the coaches) were surprised that they didn't know I was going to the Y. That was my first tryout for rugby, and I ended up playing during Winter 2000.
LatterDaySports: Kind of a "win" for both you and the team.
Sika: (Laughter) Yeah. It was kind of interesting. I was just so glad to find rugby that first week I was there.
LatterDaySports: There was an article written about you while you were at BYU-Provo. It sounded like you were incredibly busy while you were there. How were you able to juggle all of that?
Sika: It was an overwhelming time I think. It was towards the end of my Junior year and beginning of my senior year. I was super busy. I remembered having a very tight schedule, mainly because of school (studying civil engineering). It required a lot extra time outside of school, whether it was assignments or other things.
I was on the rugby team, and that was a commitment too for practices and for away games. I was also teaching a Tongan class during the semester. To be honest, I don't really know how I did it. I wasn't married at the time. There was though, a little bit of time for the chicas. You can't avoid that living at BYU.
I was pretty busy and to be honest, I don't know exactly how I did it. I guess it was a lot of patience at times, and determination. I did it though. In fact, there was a semester where I signed up for a luau, and was asked to teach the dancing for the Tongan section. So for some period of time, I was busy with that too, on top of everything else. I don't know how I found time to find me a wife. My girlfriend at the time was very patient I guess.
LatterDaySports: You even managed to squeeze in going on a mission.
Sika: Yeah, that was around 2000. I decided to stop going to school for a while, start filling out papers, and I finally went on a mission that Fall.
LatterDaySports: I believe it was Spanish-speaking?
Sika: Yes. Spanish-speaking, Texas McAllen Mission.
LatterDaySports: How was that learning another language?
Sika: Oooh. It was difficult, but I did enjoy it. It was something I wanted to do, to learn a different culture, and then it was a plus to learn Spanish. I always love learning different languages. At the MTC it was challenging. I think with other things that I've gone through in life, that may have prepared me well to handle challenges in the mission—learning the language, the frustration of other things, of not getting it. That was a great turning point for me. I loved it! I loved learning Spanish! I still try to read articles and speak with others that speak Spanish, to keep that practice going. I don't want to lose it. There are a lot of Spanish-speakers in the states, so I think that will help me. In Utah, there are tons. There is a huge community of Spanish-speakers.
LatterDaySports: Describe your first experience playing in the 2003 World Cup in Australia.
Sika: Let's see. When I was a kid, we used to wake up and watch live games of the Rugby World Cup, throughout the world. The 1995 World Cup, I remember vividly because we used to wake up, and I was old enough to understand the rules of the game. I was already involved in organized rugby games. I was in amazement, thinking "Wow! Look at that huge crowd. Look at those people singing the national anthem." And when I got the chance to go, it didn't really hit me until my first cap—like my first debut match—which was against Fiji. I was just running out of the tunnel. Things were running fast. People were sprinting out, but to me it felt like everything was slow motion. I was still stunned by how huge of an event it was, with all the cameras and everything. It was one of those experiences I will never forget.
I was still young, just came back from my mission. To play in front of the crowd, and to see myself representing the U.S., singing the national anthem—those were all goose-bump moments, when you're standing in front of the crowd, to put a jersey on and play. The 2003 World Cup was such an amazing experience. Throughout the whole tournament, throughout the whole tour, I got to travel (to different) places in Australia, and play against professionals—people I used to watch and idolize—in world rugby. To see myself in that arena, it was a great experience.
LatterDaySports: Did you always know that you wanted to play at the level that you are playing now?
Sika: No, actually. I didn't really see myself playing professionally overseas. I've heard of friends before, both when I was young in Tonga, and when I moved to the states. I guess I didn't have that faith in myself that I could make it to the professional realm. I also didn't really see myself going in that direction because I was sent to the U.S. to go to school first. I knew that I probably wouldn't get the approval of my dad if I choose to go play rugby professionally, and not be in school. Somehow the opportunity came, just before the 2007 World Cup.
I was married at the time, (my wife and I) counseled with one another, and said to ourselves that this may not be a bad idea just to go see how it is. We were both young, we were both wanting to travel around the world and see other cultures. In fact, we are both grateful that we chose to come. We had our first child here in France, we are learning a new language, a new culture, and many other countless experiences we've had here in France. We are so glad we chose to come here. There is no regret, in my mind, in choosing to come here to France for the professional experience. It was a great decision for us. So back to your question, no, I never really saw myself going to the professional route, but here I am.
LatterDaySports: How is the church in France?
Sika: When you compare it Tonga or Utah, the church in France, and even Europe does struggle in numbers. Having said that, I still see amazing faith in the members here. The branch that we go to is a very small branch, with an average attendance of 20 to 30 members, and that's only recently. At times we would only have maybe 10, and that was counting 4 missionaries and the children in primary. You can see what I mean when I say that it's a struggle here. There's not a temple yet.
We love it here though. The people here in the southern part of France, particularly, are very laid back, very welcoming, very friendly. We love the food. We love how they do things here, it's different. We do miss a few things in the states. (Laughs) My wife says she misses Walmart.
There is a family that travels for one hour to come to church. A lot of the members travel at least 30 minutes or more to get to church. We travel about 30 to 35 minutes every Sunday. You can see that a lot of the members' faith is strong. I was just called to be the first counselor in the bishopric and our meetings are done over the phone, just because of the distance. When we have our stake conference we have it over in Toulouse, which is about an hour drive. A lot of other people have to drive four or five hours to get to stake conference. There is a lot sacrifice that people make. Sometimes we take it for granted when we have a church on every corner. Even though quantity-wise we struggle, the quality of the faith of the members in France is just amazing to me, just an eye-opener at times.
LatterDaySports: How was it going back and playing in the 2007 World Cup in France?
Sika: That was exciting for me. It was a big motivator for me because I was already playing in France. I first arrived here in late 2006. One of the reasons why I was keen on accepting the offer to come here, was so that I could prepare myself to play for 2007, which I really didn't see myself doing after 2003. I thought I would be done by then, or too old to play.
The excitement and enthusiasm, the ambiance, the atmosphere in the stadium was bigger than what I experienced in Australia. I guess as the years go on, the competition gets better and better. The media attention gets bigger, and you are playing other great teams.
It was another moment for me playing for the 2007 (World Cup) as well. It was probably bigger than 2003, because I was more experienced playing and traveling overseas. The 2007 World Cup itself was a bigger event than the 2003 (World Cup). Playing it here in France was like playing in front of the home crowd because I had been living in France for a while.
LatterDaySports: Any plans for 2011, New Zealand?
Sika: That's kind of hard (laughs). I haven't really made a decision. I don't know, we both kind of don't know yet. Lately, I think I may not be able to physically compete, or be as competitive as I would like to be. There's a half and half chance that I will try to make it to the 2011 World Cup.
The thought of it just excites me more. It's going to be in New Zealand. I went to school in New Zealand, so that adds to the excitement, and it's close to my homeland, and plus my sister lives in New Zealand. At the moment, I don't know. I would like to say yes, but I think I'm done physically. I'm not Brett Favre. I'm not a magician like him who can play at 40 years old.
LatterDaySports: What has been your favorite thing about rugby?
Sika: That's a hard question. I would say it's playing the game. When you run out of the tunnel for a game, the adrenalin just fires up—the excitement for the first whistle to blow. As I have become more mature, the friendships and solidarity of teammates and even the opponents (mean a lot to me).
Sometimes when we travel, I sit at the back of the bus and I meet people from Russia, from Georgia, New Zealand, South Africa, from Samoa. I have these conversations with them. It's a unique moment that I experience here. I never knew that I would work and have colleagues from all these different countries, speaking different languages, different cultures, having different expectations. Yet, they are all human. Most of us have kids, and we all know what it's like to be a father. We understand the trials we are all going through with that. It warms me a lot of times just thinking about it when we travel. I think that's why I've enjoyed rugby so much. It amazes me.
LatterDaySports: And what does your wife think of rugby?
Sika: Uhhh. I think that's a question I should ask her. (Talks to wife in the background and she faintly answers, "I like rugby! I am athletic. I used to play sports.") At first she didn't understand the sport when we were dating. We played some touch rugby. She liked it—running around and learning the rules. She's been to many games, and now she even yells at the referee sometimes. She knows the rules. I never (thought) that she would learn the rules and correct the referees when they make bad calls. She loves rugby!
LatterDaySports: You married the right woman.
Sika: (laughs) Exactly.
nice article, surprising how much he looks like Papa. what an amazing journey for him and his family.

Anatole "Tony" Lapine, GM and Porsche designer, dies

Less than a month after the passing of Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche, Porsche adherents have lost another of their heroes with the death earlier this week of former Porsche chief designer Anatole "Tony" Lapine. Lapine died Sunday, April 29, at the age of 81 in Baden-Baden, Germany.
Born May 23, 1930, in Riga, Latvia, Lapine apprenticed with Daimler-Benz in Hamburg and attended the Hamburg Wagenbauschule. In 1951, he came to the United States to work for General Motors, eventually becoming a stylist in Bill Mitchell's secretive Studio X workshop, helping to design a number of concept cars that came out of the workshop. While at General Motors, he often paired with designer Larry Shinoda and thus served as a designer for the 1963 Corvette, the CERV I and CERV II mid-engine Corvette prototypes, and the Corvair Monza GT and Corvair Monza SS show cars.

GM transferred Lapine in 1965 to head Opel's Research Center in Germany, a position he held until Porsche recruited him away four years later to become their chief designer. While at Porsche, he oversaw Wolfgang Möbius's design of the 928, the company's front-engine, water-cooled V-8 GT that debuted in 1978, along with the designs of the Harm Lagaay-styled 924 and 944 and of the G-series 1974-1977 911. He remained Porsche's chief designer until 1988.
Michael Mauer, Porsche's chief designer since 2004, said that Lapine "shaped Porsche sports car design over more than two decades. As a designer he didn't follow fashion but was forever setting new trends with his concepts."

In a fight to keep sole possession of third place in Region Eight play, the Dinos fell short to a good Emery team on Friday night. The Dinos had no answer to the Spartan offenses as they went down to defeat 39-66.
Emery took an early lead with strong inside shooting and the Dinos were in a 12 point hole by the end of the first. They let the lead grow to 16 by the half.
Carbon came out a bit stronger on D the second half of play, but they just could not get a bucket when they needed it and the deficit just kept creeping up. The final outcome was obvious late in the game as the Dinos went down hard to Emery.
Joey Keller had the most success for the Dinos with 11 points and Erick Buchmiller was able to score 10. Ryan Rasmussen hit the only three on the night for the Dinos. Emery was hot from beyond the arc, sinking eight threes.
"We just couldn't contain them in the paint and when we did they just kicked it out and hit a three." stated Coach Bianco. "We had no answer for their scoring. If we could have made some baskets we would have made a game of it."
For now there is a two way tie for second place. Emery will meet up with North Sanpete this week for their final region game. The outcome of that game could determine if there is a three way tie again for the third spot. North Sanpete beat Emery earlier this season.
The Dinos wrap up region play with a home game against Juan Diego on Wednesday night. A win could help them move back into sole possession of third. If Emery wins they will take third. Either way Carbon will go on the road for their first game of the playoffs. Tip off for the final home game of the season is at 7:00 Wednesday night.

I justwanted to say u r so well spoken and I can appreciate that. Its good to see a young black rapper in the spotlight speak intelligently, sometimes the fame is given to the ones that "fit the script" of what a rapper should sound like.

Finished Snog remix, its a pretty aggro mix of Clockwork Man. LOVE IT, wish i had more time on it. Finished mixing the last track for the Siren Project. Beheaded, killer track, very dead can dance. So happy Siren Project will have a cd out and be on band camp before the Denver show.
Working on the set list for the goth Cruise. Velvet Pill for the first time ever for Nathan. Hoping some shirts sell, and Denver and Austin do well so I do not have to sell my prophet 6, jdxi, pulse 2. I got lights for the Denver show, and only 5 instead of 15, because i want to bring these to our shows via air plane. I really hate the air quality in DENVER now, all the forest fired out west are driving my sinuses and throat mad. I am flying out to New Orleans a tad early to try and repair this. Fucking my birthday i will be away from my family yet again.
I have an Instagram account now Click here to see it.
I will be posting more pics there than any where else..
I have cleaned up the web site a bit, will be adding more discography content when i get back home from the cruise…
Again, i cannot believe that the Dead Milkmen even know who the fuck we are. This blows my mind every time, and remember, Rodney is on my Remix CD Direland on 2 songs. So check out BTO cover Rick Furr is on this too, and the reamake of LUST.

It's actually clear outside for once, and those twinkling stars are beckoning you out into the autumn night. But which is which?
When you are a beginner, there's a lot to learn in a short time. But you don't have to go it alone – we're here to help. This page will get you started. Even so, the only way you can really do it is to go out and see for yourself.
Oh, the usual Health and Safety warning. It can get pretty cold out there at this time of year, so put your coat on. This is not your mother talking, it just makes sense. The more comfortable you are, the better you will enjoy stargazing. Who cares if it's an anorak – no one can see you. And a bobble hat helps, too. A hoodie? That's up to you, as long as the hood doesn't actually cover your eyes when you look up....
You will need a star map, and you will need to know how it works. This may seem obvious, but there is a knack to understanding these things. Here is our map for this month:
Now don't be a clever dick and tell us that we have the points of the compass all wrong. This is a map of the sky, so you have to hold it over your head. When you do this, east and west will be the right way round. How you hold your computer above your head is up to you!
It shows the whole sky, so the scale is quite small. Normally you turn to see different parts of it, so to see the view looking north, for example, hold the map upside down with north at the bottom.
The map shows the sky in the middle of the month at about 10 pm, at the start of the month at 11 pm, or by the end of the month at 9 pm. All times are BST, but we go back to GMT on Sunday 25 October so at the end of the month everything will be an hour earlier.
|TIP If you aren't sure of the direction of north from your location, click here for a page on Getting Your Bearings.
What, no planets on the map? That's because there aren't any bright planets in the evening sky right now. Actually, Saturn is around but it is very low in the west just after sunset and is quite tricky to spot. Jupiter, Venus and Mars rise in the early morning sky, and Venus is particularly obvious in the east before dawn. Dawn gets up about 6 am, busy girl.
For a detailed list of things happening in the sky, click here.
One constellation or star group that many people recognise straight away is the Plough. This is low down in the north at the moment, so turn the map upside down and you will see the seven-star pattern in the north-west. OK, it might not look much like one of those spiky things you see in fields being towed around by a Massey Ferguson, but these names were given a long time ago, long before Massey met Ferguson. So think of it as a saucepan instead. Once you have found this, you will get an idea of the scale of the map compared with the sky.
Next turn round so you're facing south and look over your head for the three stars marked Deneb, Vega and Altair. Vega is also one of the brightest stars in the sky. Altair has two fainter stars on either side of it, though in a poor sky you may only see the upper one. These three stars, Deneb, Vega and Altair are called the Summer Triangle, even though they are still visible well into autumn.
Once you have found the Summer Triangle, you can now start to look for some constellations. There's Cygnus, the Swan, also known as the Northern Cross. It is a large cross-shape with Deneb at the top, marking the tail of the swan which flies down the Milky Way with outstretched wings. Fair point. You live in Neasden or Newcastle and can't see this Milky Way which is shown on the map. You'll just have to take our word for it that it's there. To find out more about Cygnus, including why it is unsuitable for children, click here. One of the best-known stars in Cygnus is Albireo, a fairly faint star marking the head of the Swan, or the foot of the Cross. Midway between Altair and Albireo is a rather cute constellation called Sagitta, which means Arrow, along with two neighbours, Vulpecula and Delphinus. They may be small, but they have a lot going for them, so take a look.
All maps produced using Stellarium software.
Going back to the Summer Triangle, find Altair and follow the line of the three stars down towards the south until you came to a brightish star as shown on the map, Alpha Capricorni. You should be able to pick out that this consists of two stars – a double star. Actually, the fainter star is about six times the distance of the brighter one.
Look about half-way up the sky for a large square of stars. To tell the truth it isn't a perfect square, but give us a break, we have to make the most of the shapes the stars make. It's known as the Square of Pegasus, and represents a flying horse. Fortunately for those of us down on Earth, this horse has no rear end.
You can use the Square of Pegasus as a signpost to find other constellations. Follow the diagonal down to the lower right an equal distance and you come to a faint group of stars known as the Water Jar of Aquarius. You'll probably need binoculars to find this in a town sky. It's easily recognised by its arrow shape, which looks a bit like a fighter plane with swept wings. Though it's not the brightest part of Aquarius, it's a good pattern that helps you to find the other stars.
Follow the right-hand edge of the Square right down to the horizon and you'll see the bright star Fomalhaut, in the constellation of the Southern Fish.
If you want a map with all the constellation names on it, click here
Around the 22nd you might see a fair number of Orionid meteors, which occur each year at this time. They won't appear until after 10 pm BST, because that's when their radiant in Orion rises in the east. The radiant is the direction from which they appear to stream, so they will appear to come from a point below Capella at the top of the map. Don't expect hundreds – one every ten minutes or so is a reasonable number, but you might just be lucky and see more.
This year they take place at first quarter of the Moon, so it's a good year to look for them, weather permitting of course, as the Moon will set soon after the radiant nrises. The darker your skies the better, but don't give up on them even if you live in a town. You just need an awful lot of patience.
It begins the month just after full Moon, which was on 28 September, so not much observing of faint objects will be possible then. Last quarter is on the 4th and then we have new Moon on the 13th. First quarter – that's a half Moon – is on the 20th and then full Moon this month is on the 27th.
We have a whole section of the website devoted to the Moon and its features.
Sorry, no eclipses this month.

Were you a fan of the iconic story of Sleepy Beauty and Maleficent before working on this project?
I was always a huge fan of Disney, as was my mother and I grew up watching all the films just like most kids did, so when the opportunity presented itself and I was invited by Angelina Jolie to visit the film set, I jumped at the chance.
Which characters did you focus on when designing – were there particular traits that you wanted to depict in the collection?
I wanted to highlight all of the characters in the film, as Maleficent is so rich in the way that it observes different personality traits. I particularly enjoyed bringing the playful side of the gnomes to life – they are cute, weird and wonderful and I wanted to celebrate that by layering their personality onto a cool sweatshirt.
How did you approach putting your own stamp on the collection while also keeping the fairytale aesthetic?
Disney has a wonderful innocence that I didn't want to shy away from; in fact I tried to celebrate Princess Aurora's brilliant girlishness. I worked on a shoe that I have in my own range, called Linda, and I reworked it by adding a sprinkling of glitter. Nothing's over the top but at the same time the collection doesn't hide from the delicacy of a little girl's attraction to a classic Disney Princess.
Do you have a favourite costume from the film, and in turn a favourite piece from the collection?
It's got to be Maleficent. She's a baddy with an unusual sense of goodness inside of her, so I wanted the costume to embody both the cheekiness and strength of character that she possesses. We've achieved this with gory visuals – like the bats – that have been feminised and made beautiful by foil printing on tulle.
The film features exceptionally fantastical costume – how did you introduce these elements into wearable pieces?
There is a darkness to Maleficent which can be really scary but at the same time visually brilliant. It was important that we maintained this balance and that little boys and girls feel both confident and comfortable when wearing the collection.

There's more than a month until Christmas, but scammers have already started sending out malicious emails.
Symantec experts have come across a number of samples, advertising gifts, kids projects, diets, and even "cash."
The subject lines usually look something like this: "Christmas Letters from Santa," "Christmas Tree Plant" or "The National Christmas Lottery."
The fake Christmas cards, for instance, are designed to trick users into opening an attachment that hides a piece of malware identified as W32/AutoRun.BBC!worm.
Other spam messages are simply designed to lure internauts to websites that offer counterfeit products and fake pharmaceuticals.
Researchers expect to see a "sharp spike" in the volume of Christmas-related spam over the upcoming days. That's why users are advised to be careful about what attachments they open and what links they click on.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
The Lady Dinos head up to the Huntsman Center on the University of Utah campus this Thursday. They beat Richfield at home in the first round of play-offs last Saturday night to earn that chance. They will face off with Cedar at 7:30 pm. Cedar was the second seed out of Region 9. They beat Juan Diego on Saturday to move into the quarter final round.
Carbon has not faced Cedar or any region nine teams this season. The Redmen have two good outside shooting guards who do most of their shooting and four girls are in the 3A's top 10 in rebounds.
Coach Cami Carlson said that the Dinos and the Redmen size up fairly even. "This is one of the games we can't use their height as an excuse."
Cedar is quick and like to put on both a half court and full court defense. In other words; they are much like the Dinos in how they approach their game. Carslon feels like this will be a battle that will determine who has a better defense.
Carbon is working on a few defensive sets including their triangle D. Also they have concentrated on shooting off the dribble and a few other basics like making sure they do not get out of position as they play defense.
"At this point in the season, if they don't already have it, they never will," admitted Carlson. "We just worked on a few tools in our arsenal and get ready to play."
She also felt like Carbon has an advantage over Cedar because they have been deep in the state tournament last year. Several of her players have also had the opportunity to participate in a clinic at the Huntsman Center and so have played on the floor. Cedar has not had many trips to State in the past few years.
If the Dinos get through the Redmen then they will face either Delta or Hurricane. Delta beat Carbon in an overtime game early in the season, Since that game Carbon has not lost. Delta has stumbled a little and tied with Emery for the Region 12 top spot. That game would be at 2:30 p.m. on Friday.
Tickets for the tournament can be purchased online at the Utah High School Activities Association website or at the door at the Huntsman Center.

Defining and testing for intelligence is a controversial issue and has been since the first intelligence test was created and administered. Many forms of intelligence and achievement tests exist and using a particular test is a matter of preference and depending on the areas of intelligence is desired to be measured. This paper will start by critiquing the major definitions of intelligence, and determine the best definition for each chosen intelligence and achievement instruments. It will also evaluate the reliability, validity, normative procedures, and biasness of each intelligence measurement. The measurements will be compared and contrasted while also considering the ethical implications of using intelligence and achievement test in educational settings. Intelligence Definitions
Cohen and Swerdlik (2010), states that intelligence manifest itself in the following abilities: acquiring and using knowledge, logically reasoning skills, effective planning, perception, judgment making, problem solving attention, visualizing concepts, intuition, and coping, adjusting, and dealing with situations. These abilities are not a definite definition of intelligence but are merely a combination of the abilities that characterize and measure intelligence. Most of these abilities are a composite of the definitions and explanations of intelligence by others. The main contributors of defining and explaining intelligence are Francis Galton, Alfred Binet, David Wechsler, and Jean Piaget (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2010).
Galton believed that people learn only from the information that passes through the five senses. With Galton's theory it could be said that hearing, vision, touching, tasting, and smelling are each processors of intelligence. Galton's definition does not explain how the five senses interpret information and turning it into knowledge and abilities (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2010).
Binet, who is best known for the...

Former Ladyjack Making a Splash Overseas
May 29, 2008
Former Stephen F. Austin standout Charity Egenti is making a name for herself in Spain's professional basketball league. The 6-3, forward from Lagos, Nigeria, helped guide Madrid Estudiantes to the 2007-08 Spanish National Title.
"My first year was a difficult experience," said Egenti. "I was forced to be very independent and patient. For seven months I was without friends and family, so I had to grow. It was all worth it in the end, now I know what I want in a team and what I need to work on during the off-season."
After a slow start that saw Madrid drop its first four games, Egenti and her teammates returned from the Christmas break and rattled off 14 consecutive victories. Riding the strength of that win streak, Madrid went into the playoffs as at the No. 3 seed.
Madrid showed no signs of a let-down during the postseason, winning the tournament and bringing the 2007-08 Spanish National Title back to Madrid. Egenti was a key factor in the team's success leading the league in rebounding. She was also among the top four scorers on the roster.
Despite her success as a rookie, Egenti is not taking the experience for granted. Knowing that a career as a professional athlete is never a guarantee, Egenti is continuing to work on her game.
"I am excited to work on my outside game," said Egenti. "I know I want to play mostly the three position. I am unsure of my future team, so I'm just going to prepare by faith awaiting the next move God has in store for me."
Egenti was a two-year letterwinner at SFA helping guide SFA to a Southland Conference title, and the program's 18th appearance in the NCAA Championships. She closed out her collegiate career by earning 2007 SLC Player of the Year honors, and leading SFA to its second appearance in the WNIT.

Shanda - Beautiful and creative book. You have a great eye for photographic composition. I LOVE the use of the word inserts into the image - gives each image meaning beyond the setting. Thank you for the kind words of dedication and including one of my all time favorite pictures on page one - of a beautiful little girl which reflects the beauty of Hawaii. You are as beautiful today as you were then. Keep up the passion and make more books!
I just posted a new book from our summer vacation to Maine - you can see all your cousins! I am not much of a people photographer - but it was fun capturing these images. Hope you enjoy. Stay in touch!

-- Over the last year or so, Eric Clapton has commented in multiple interviews that he's planning on retiring from touring when he turns 70. The guitar legend, who will reach that milestone in March, now tells Rolling Stone he's still considering quitting the road in 2015. "Next year, I might do a couple of shows and say, 'Folks, that's it, I'm off,'" he declares. "Then I'll see what I make of that, whether I'm content to just go into the studio now and then and play at home for the family."
Slowhand also reveals that he's not planning to put together another Crossroads Guitar Festival, the star-studded benefit for his Crossroads rehab facility that he organized in 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2013.
"I think this could be it," he says. "I don't want to work that hard, that much, anymore."
Next week, on July 29, Clapton will release a tribute album to his late friend, collaborator and musical inspiration JJ Cale -- The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale. Also lending their talents to the project, which Eric says was "a joy to do," were such stars as Tom Petty, Mark Knopfler, Willie Nelson, John Mayer and Derek Trucks.
Meanwhile, Clapton tells Rolling Stone that before Cale's death last year inspired him to put together the tribute project, "I was planning to write and record another album for myself…So that's the next thing I would do."
Eric reveals that there's also some extra Cale-written material from The Breeze sessions that he plans to finish later this summer. "We recorded many more tracks, some of them unpublished," he explains. "I have some time in August in the studio to complete that and maybe start recording self-penned stuff."
With regard to coming up with new original songs, Clapton says he has been struggling a bit lately, admitting that he's "just lazy." He explains, "When I get to 'What am I going to do for that bit?' I stop and turn on the TV. I'm easily distracted."
He adds, "What I've done a lot is written songs, then forgotten them. I put them down as a voice memo, on my phone, then I lose the memo." However, Clapton assures Rolling Stone that he does have some new tunes in the works he hasn't forgotten that currently are saved on his iPhone.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Travelers across the country are feeling ripple effects from yesterday's shooting at Los Angeles International Airport.
Airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles says about 167,000 passengers and 1,550 flights have been affected.
Terminal 3 remains closed as the investigation into the shooting continues.
A Transportation Security Administration officer was killed when a gunman opened fire in the terminal. Five other people were hurt, including two TSA workers and the alleged gunman.
Flights are arriving and departing from LAX, but airlines are cautioning that passengers may experience delays and should check their flight status before heading to the airport.
