It's that time again, the start to another Tone It Up Challenge! You have your new lunch box, your new water bottle and your new mindset that THIS IS IT!!! This is the challenge that will get your bum into gear. We are here to help you achieve all the goals you have ever set for yourself and we want you to succeed! In order to set you up for success, we want to be sure you are armed with all the right tools so that you can NOT fail.
If you are fully committed to this challenge you MUST:
1. Check-in! Check-in with your trainers and each other every day. We're here to support you and get you to your goals! We're holding you accountable!! Accountability ~ this will keep you on track: First – share the Calendar, as well as this challenge, with some close friends and family! Having them on your side will make sticking to your efforts much easier! You help others get to the top, and they will thank you by providing you with motivation in return! It's a 100% Win/Win.. Second – use the entire Tone It Up Community to your advantage! Check-in each day with a breakdown of your Healthy Meals, Check-in after each workout and Check-in with any motivational success stories or thoughts you have. If your experiences help even one person get over that 'hump' wouldn't it be worth it?! Check-in on Facebook, Twitter and especially the Tone It Up Online Community Site! Get inspired :)
2. Booty Call Workout ~ BOOTY CALL!!! Your alarm better be set for the morning!! :) Set it 30 minutes early & sneak in a fat burning workout- a walk, jog, yoga– anything! We want you to really crank up the intensity for your Workouts! Getting up in the morning before you start your day is important to fire up the Fat Burning Process! If you can't do a workout in the morning, then fit it in LATER and add an extra 10 minutes of cardio to your routine.
3. Daily Challenges ~ You'll be reminded each day that there is something new you are going to try! Being sure to set time aside for you is just as important as brushing your teeth and hydrating enough each day :)
4. Tone It Up Calendar ~ Print it out and stick it on your computer, your fridge or even your Dashboard… anywhere you are sure to see it multiple times throughout the day. This will help you make sure never to miss out on what it is you need to be doing each day.
5. Proper Nutrition ~ See below for your nutrition MUSTS through the next 6 weeks! By sticking to the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan, you will be sure that you aren't taking in the wrong foods, or even the right foods at the wrong times! Follow the Tone It Up Plan during the entire Challenge, and Finish it with the 7DaySlimDown for your best shot at holding on to those results for the long-term!
6. Motivation from your Trainers! ~ Remember that we are here to help you all get to where you have always dreamed of being! We will be sending you daily motivation, and challenges to really show you how much you are capable of :) Stick to the plan and don't worry if you fall off a bit here & there. Bounce back as soon & as strong as you can, and pick up where you left off! Your body will learn to adapt to the new pace faster than you ever imagined :)
Your nutrition rules throughout the challenge… you already know these if you're on the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan ;)
- Drink half your body weight in ounces of water… at least. Ex: 150 lbs = 75 ounces throughout the day.
- Eat a LEAN, GREEN & CLEAN dinner!!! No heavy starches (breads), cheeses or fried food at dinner. Yes… you can have the occasional drink, but keep it minimal. We prefer you to have a glass of red wine a couple times a week or a vodka soda with fresh lime or crushed raspberries.
- Say bye-bye to all chemicals in your diet that causes you to hold onto stubborn fat cells & cause hunger and cellulite, and you can say hello to abs, a healthy brain, healthy joints, a functioning liver, beautiful skin and a higher metabolism. Chemicals in artificial sweeteners can also cause cancer, so we're going to get rid of them for 6 weeks… at least! Stay all natural and be clear of aspartame, 'skinny lattes' & diet sodas and stick to the real stuff. We like organic sugar, almond milk instead of creamers, soda waters with fruit instead of soda, stevia packets instead of aspartame, agave instead of splenda etc… if you EVER have any questions about this, please ask!
Where are the harsh chemicals hidden? Diet coke and most diet sodas, most flavored waters (unless all natural), splenda packets when you get your coffee, boxed 'diet' foods, non-organic yogurt (which is loaded, by the way), sugar-free coffee creamers, some 'protein bars' and some protein powders that aren't organic. You should be able to pronounce all ingredients on the side of your packaging. This is SO important. You're now asking, well what do I eat!? Ask us anytime, but stick to real food that is LEAN & CLEAN.
What do we drink instead of soda? A nice glass of water will do. We like adding crushed fresh fruit to our water. Instead of splenda in your coffee, add some all natural honey or 1 natural sugar packet. YES, we want you to have calories instead of chemicals. You're abs and body will thank us later. What about yogurt? Instead of the non-organic yogurts, grab an all natural kind, like 0%-1% Chobani, Fage, or Stonyfield Greek yogurt~ they're loaded with protein too!
And speaking of protein… protein never upset anyone's stomach. If you're eating lean, clean protein, you will not get gassy or bloated. Why do some protein powders cause this? It's not the protein, but the chemicals that are in them to mask the taste. We like organic, sprouted brown rice protein. We've fallen victim to the protein powders before, so check your labels and don't make our mistake too. Okay, we could go on for hours…
What to avoid… Ingredients that you can't pronounce and splenda, aspartame & sweet 'N low. Also, watch for high fructose corn syrup and hidden sugars in 'low fat foods'. We know this seems like a lot, but when you think about it, just eat what mother nature gave you!!! You'll end up with a lean, toned body when you eat natural. It doesn't need to be organic either. Just natural. If you want to learn more about sweeteners, we found a great resource… What to have as sweeteners.
We want to focus on continuing to make fitness fun, and we accomplish that by keeping ourselves excited for what's next. Instead of doing the same thing ever day, or even going to the same place, mix it up! Open up your options to include new activities or classes you've never tried before! When was the last time you did something for the first time?! Whatever the answer is, it probably wasn't recent enough :) So far you have all signed up for the Toned in '12 Challenge, and that includes printing out multiple copies of the January Calendar for you and friends, as well as creating a Journal Page in the Community!
The next step is to really personalize your efforts ~ We bring you new workouts and healthy foods & treats as often as we can & we want to help you explore even further! Read below on how to really enjoy the effort and to enjoy the work that you are putting into a goal that you are so pumped to accomplish!
Ways to make fitness fun in 2012:
- Variety is the Spice of Life! ~ Mix up your schedule by introducing new classes or activities, and really step outside the box! If our bodies respond by preparing for new activity, isn't this truly the easiest way to improve ourselves?
- Push Yourself! ~ When was the last time you played in an organized sports league? Join a soccer program, or a flag football, or even a Water Polo league! You'd be surprised at how many your town offers. You may even start making friends that are there for the same reason :) Bonus!
- Get your Friends Involved! ~ How many of your friends can you think of who are looking for the same excitement and fun in their lives… we know of a few, so we grab them by the hand and bring them to our favorite yoga instructor, or they'll grab us and take us to their favorite pure-barre class. Whichever way it works out, get your friends involved!
- Create a Goal together! ~ Plan a beach trip with your friends! This way you all have a common goal to work towards, and a specific time frame to get it done it! You want to glow in those cute bikinis, and look fierce out at night in those loose fitting sun-dresses! Get to work.
- Sign up for something you've NEVER Done! ~ Tough Mudder? 10k road race? Triathalon?! Do something you never thought you'd be able to do, and give yourself time to train. You'll be AMAZED at how focused you become when you have a deadline approaching! Remember what we've said in the past, The only difference between a Dream and a Goal is the Deadline :)
Have FUN with it! ~ We know we aren't suppose to use the word we are defining in the definition, so by saying 'have fun' as a means to 'have fun' we are being a bit redundant – it's just so important to remember to enjoy the challenges, enjoy the effort, and enjoy the journey! We all know the saying 'A Watched pot never Boils'.. same is true for fitness.. 'A Watched Scale NEVER MOVES!' Don't get discouraged if you don't lose that 12 lbs overnight, or if you don't see your abs come through the day after a great core workout.. enjoy the exercise, enjoy the sweat, enjoy the challenge! You'll go a lot further with your results than you can imagine! Especially since those that don't work for the result end up crash dieting, seeing a small, superficial result and quit! Then they are back to where they were, and just as unhappy as before. Stick to the plan, and have FUN with the journey!
Setting up your calendar is just as important as setting up your Journal in the Tone It Up Community!

Groom ready to toughen up mentallyComment on this story
It was a must-win game for the Stormers against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein last year, and they were fast out of the blocks and had a 15-7 lead at halftime.
It was still 15-10 with just over half an hour left, and then came the big game-changing moment – Sarel Pretorius charged-down an attempted clearance from Nic Groom, and scored a vital try to put the Cheetahs back into the lead.
The Stormers eventually lost 26-24 on the hooter to a Burton Francis penalty. But since then, Groom has had to stand back for Louis Schreuder at scrumhalf, and the whole fallout has understandably affected him negatively.
Schreuder was even a surprise inclusion in the Springbok squad for the end-of-year tour to Europe, while Groom's future was uncertain.
He had a WP contract in place for 2014, though, and a new year is often a new beginning too. And the former Rondebosch Boys product says he will adopt a different mental approach this year, starting with Friday's warm-up against the Southern Kings in Port Elizabeth, where he will wear the No 9 jersey.
"To be honest, one of the areas of my game I need to improve a lot on is the mental aspect. Sport is so fickle – you could be so ready and so prepared, but things don't go your way. But it's all about how you react to that – controlling the voices you are hearing, controlling the voices you don't need to hear, and it's all about keeping yourself in the right frame of mind, and practising and using every opportunity to get better," Groom said this week.
"From last year, it's actually everything in my game that I'd like to improve. The goal is to become a total player, whether it's attack, defence, kicking, passing ... That's my goal.
"The most important thing is determining your own version of success, and that's very personal.
"As a player, you can get into a trap where the things you read or the people you talk to and the opinions you hear, they determine whether you've done well or not. I think you're in a very dangerous position as a sportsman if you are in that space. If you understand what is below your standards, then you are only going to improve.
"Any sportsman will tell you that they will have good and bad days, but it's all about how you are going to react to both scenarios."
Groom's best attribute is his quick service from scrums and rucks, and spotting a gap around the fringes. The Stormers often resort to a conservative game that doesn't suit Groom's strengths, but he is adamant that he is allowed to bring that zip to the team on the field.
Coach Allister Coetzee said that he was impressed by the team's attacking play last week against the Bulls, where a number of line-breaks were made. So perhaps there will be a greater emphasis on taking the initiative this year instead of mainly playing off opposition mistakes.
"Definitely (allowed to express myself), that is when I play best, when I do that. That's how I've grown up playing rugby and there is definitely space for that," Groom said. "It's all about keeping a balance of course, as we have a game to win and have areas on the field where we like to play. But if there's space, we're gonna take it, and when there's not space, we're gonna make space."
But Groom knows the pressure is on to perform as Schreuder is the favourite to be the starting No 9 for the opening Super Rugby game against the Lions on February 22. And following Dewaldt Duvenage's move to France, it is known that the Stormers are looking to sign another experienced scrumhalf before the tournament starts.
Groom, who will turn 24 the day before the Lions game, feels the entire squad will have to play their part.
"I think it's good to have competition. But you've got to look at it from a point that there are 30 players, and everybody's got a role to play at some stage. If you can get combinations going, that's brilliant, but in certain games another combination may be needed that will help us," he said.
"It's about being process-driven and not becoming flustered about selections or who's talking about who. There's a job to be done. But I definitely want to put in a good performance (against the Kings), put my hand up and just get the team going forward. It's all about the 22nd of February against the Lions, and about ticking those boxes and really putting the final pieces of the puzzle together."
The calm before the storm
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee said this week that flyhalf Peter Grant, who will only return to the side once his Japanese club commitments are over, is an "immense" presence in the team. Nic Groom explained what makes Grant such a pivotal figure: "Each flyhalf has their own style. But with Peter coming in, he's an experienced guy and he tends to take care of the scrumhalves, which is quite nice. He's got a really calming nature, so he'll just get in your ear and direct the play. Much like most 10s, but what I'm trying to say is that even though he's been away, it's not going to be such a big adjustment." - Cape Times

Contour+2 Action Cam Now Available
The new Contour+2 action cam is available now. The new camera features iOS integration, allowing you to start/stop the recording or adjust camera settings from your iPhone/iPad. It ships will a waterproof case that lets you take the camera down to 197′ underwater.
The Contour+2 captures full HD at 24p/30p – and will even capture 854 x 480p video at 120fps; however, that's still a far cry from Sony's new action cams that will capture 720p HD video as 120 fps. That said, Contour cameras' functionality and solid GPS features (in the new Contour+2) offer a lot of value in a somewhat unique package.

In Japan, Young Women Turn to Farming to Escape Hectic City Life
A small but intrepid group of young women in Japan are moving to the countryside and becoming farmers to escape the high-speed pace of urban life and revitalize the country's slowing agriculture industry.
The move is both a deliberate step out of the fast lane, and counter to a global trend of rural-urban migration.
"It's time for a makeover, to save Japanese farms," 29-year-old Yukako Harada said. "And the only way to do this is to get youth and more women involved in agriculture."

Candidates seek three school board positions
January 29, 2009
Seven people will seek election to the Eudora USD 491 Board of Education.
The terms of board members Brenda Clark, Bob Rice and Jim Martin will end, with only Clark seeking re-election.
Joining the race with her will be Michael Kelso, Mike Howard, Dr. Dan Dickerson, Mike Warner, Eric Votaw and Keith Nowland.
Michael Kelso, 44, is a systems manager with DST and has lived in Eudora for about 16 years. He said his professional experience would be especially helpful during the current financial crisis.
"Particularly with the economic issues surrounding the school district, state and nation, I think a whole lot of thought needs to go into how the budget is structured," Kelso said. "I also want to give back to the community, especially after they supported me during my fight with cancer."
Mike Howard, 38, is a vice president of lighting manufacturing company Mercer Zimmerman. He has lived in Eudora for about three years.
"I've got two young daughters who will be in the district's schools for several years to come, so I'd like to give back to the community," Howard said.
Howard also praised the district for its recent meeting to discuss its priorities in light of possible budget cuts.
Dr. Dan Dickerson, 44, is a family physician and clinical instructor at KU Medical Center
He has lived in Eudora for about six years and said student success would be his top priority.
"We're entering some tough times in the economy and the schools are going to feel the pinch," Dickerson said. "During these tough times, we need people who will make education of children the number one priority. Sometimes, the focus is too much on the buildings."
Mike Warner, 55, is an assistant U.S. attorney for the Federal Prosecutor in the Western District of Missouri. He has lived in Eudora for about five years. He hopes to maintain the quality of education that students in the district, including his 11-year-old stepdaughter, currently receive.
"I have a desire to volunteer and be engaged a little but more in community service," Warner said.
Eric Votaw, 32, is a senior corporate credit manager for Freightquote.com
He was born and raised in Eudora and said he has a passion for the educational system from which he graduated.
"I'm eager to serve the community, and that point was driven home even more after I had three kids of my own," Votaw said. "I want the best opportunity for them and all students of Eudora."
Keith Nowland, 44, runs State Farm Insurance in Eudora. He has lived in Eudora for about four years.
He has experience as a teacher and a principal in Missouri.
"Schools are the foundation for positive growth," Nowland said.
He also noted that he was ready to make the tough decisions that will need to be made as a result of the economic crisis.
Brenda Clark, 56, has served on the board of education for the last 12 years and is the secretary and treasurer for East Central Kansas Cooperative in Education.
She said she wanted to continue to be a part of the success of students, as well as see the district through the current economic hardships.
According to Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew, there will be no primary for elections in Douglas County.
The general election will be April 7.

Where's the Outrage against Mets fans!!!!
When I read today in the New York Post that Mets fans "cheered loudly when it was announced that Ryan Howard was injured in Washington," I thought it was no class! The next thought I had was that if that was in Philly and Phillies fans were cheering Chipper Jones or David Wright being injured, it would lead ESPN, Fox Sports and every local sports newscast in the New York Tri state area. Because, as we ALL know, ONLY Philly fans are rude, despicable and a roving hoard of obnoxious slobs!! Well that was the description the Nationals announcers painted when the Phils faithful Philled up "Natstown USA."
Well all I have to say that all of you Mets fans that cheered; Karma is a bitch!! Oh wait, you team already blows even without injuries, so what is your excuse this year?
Get some class Mets fans!!

Worst Umpiring Crew in MLB??
Adrian Johnson has to be THE worst umpire in MLB. We all know about that abomination game of 16 walks called earlier this year with the Mets and Phillies but did anyone see him reverse his call in the Twins and Brewers game on Sunday night just because the Twins manager, Rod Gardenheir argued with him about Joe Mauer being hit on the hand. The Brewers got screwed because the next guy up, Justin Morneau smacked a grand slam.
Then he has a controversial call last night in the Mets and Nationals game that gets upheld but shouldn't have on a Gary Sheffield home run. This guy is awful!!! He needs to be run down to Little League!!
Then I read the box score and find out that this crew has called ANOTHER 16 walk game!!!!!!! I know that the Nationals pitching isn't that good but John Lannan and John Maine are not THAT bad!!!
If this was one bad call I wouldn't make a beef and but I have been noticing a bad pattern with this crew in lots of different game where I don't have a rooting interest.
Maybe the Cubs Milton Bradley has a point about the umps being out to get him if you got bonehead umps like this calling games!!!!

What to expect from Eagles-Giants
Well I don't know what to expect tommorrow from the Eagles- Giants matchup other than I know these two teams will get after it and after each other!
I have looked at this form every angle possible and there is not much of a difference in the two squads. Yes the Giants have a great running game bu the Eagles have a better passing game. The BIG difference is no Plaxico Burress. Him not being in the lineup enables the Eagles defense to sneak a safety down in the box and also matchup with the tight end more and not have to worry about Plaxico getting behind a corner. The big difference between the first meeting adn the second was controlling the tight end position and, oh yeah, limiting the run. The one thing the Eagles need to do n the offensive side of the ball is STICK to the run like they did in Minnesota with the Vikings. also, getting Donovan McNabb out on some designed roll outs or draws will keep that agressive D-line honest. He also will have to pick up a couple of 1st downs with his legs. Otherwise, let Brian Westbrook and Correll Buckhalter carry the load.
Here is where I think the game will turn. He will come down to turnovers and special teams. The Eagles defnitely have a advantage in the return game but the Meadowlands is David Akers' own house of horrors!!
I will go out on a limb here and predict an Eagles win but at a cost. Someone key will get hurt, just from attrition of having to play so many brutal games up until now. DeSean Jackson returns a punt to the Giants 8 yard line with 3 minutes left. When the Eagles can't get in the end zone as usual, akers kicks a FG with 1:45 left and the Eagles defense snuffs out the ensuing Giants drive with a sack of Eli Manning and fumble!!
Final score Eagles 20-17!!!
How does that sound folks?!
Now the other games:
Titans 27 Ravens 13
Cardinals 32 Panthers 35 (Neil Rackers has 6 FG and DeAngelo Williams has 4 TDs)
Steelers 17 Chargers 6 (Darren Sproles will turn into Sprocket)

I didn't think I woud lever see this happen again! The last time I was 11 years old with a pillow wrapped around my head waiting for that famous strikeout by Tug. My mom and I screamed with joy then!! Now, fortunately I was able to watch Brad Lidge strikeout Eric Hinske with my 7 year old sitting next to me. He saw his Dad freak out and start screaming with joy again, almost crying. Hopefully, he will remember this for the rest of his life and not wait until he is a father to see the next one.
As Pat Gillick said, "Let's do it again!!"
My 7 y.o. leads me to this nexy point in that "Bud" luck out in this whole game 5 fiasco. What a great ending the other night! I let all three of my kids stay up to watch but only my oldest able make through the end. But if all World Series games were started earlier, maybe ratings wouldn't be in the toilet and more people would be able to stay up and see the end of the game. Not just kids either, but working people like myself who have jobs that get them up between 4 and 6am. After the euphoria of winning I looked at the clock and it was 10pm!! Great!!! I put my son to bed with a BIG smile on his face and mine!! That is a memory we will share forever!!!!! How great will it be for a Cubs fan to share that moment with his kid whenever/if they win it all? But the way things stand now, that won't happen.
I hope Bud and FOX takes this as a lesson that people will watch but it has to be on at a reasonable time. Why do you think the Super Bowl is so big? One reason it starts at 6pm!!
I will ride this feeling until spring training and I will definitely be less critical of the Eagles for the rest of the year..maybe!

Phillies need a Leader!!!
This is pathetic!! TWO great starting pitching performances WASTED!!!
It really takes a lot for me to get upset with the Phillies but the last two games have done it!
The first thought in my mind of why the Phils aren't not hitting is they are missing a leader and a decent #6 hitter; which Aaron Rowland was for this team and is now providing for the Giants! He would set the bottom of that lineup up to turn over for Jimmy Rollins, Victorino and Utley. Is it a wonder why Rollin's RBI number is way down? Nobody on base!
Another thing when you don't score runs, it forces Unkle Chaalie to take out the starters who are having great performances in order to manufacture runs, which otherwise, if they had a lead they would keep them in the game and not exhaust the bullpen.
Great move Gillick in not resinging Rowland. Now you see what he meant to the team. Some stats are not measured on the stat sheet but you can sure see it when he is NOT in the lineup!! Being shut out 8 times this year alone and back to back for the first time in NINE years speaks volumes to me!
This team needs a LEADER now!!!!
I wonder who will step up?!

Politics Counts
I like Rand Paul . He has several good perspectives and some good ideas. He appears to be an effective Senator. But a run for the White House may assuage his ego needs but would not be successful and would further undermine the Republican brand. He serves Conservative POVs best as a Senator. The Republican Party will only be successful with a more moderate. Appearing candidate...Rubio, Bush et al...I respect the far right but they are not electable.
What does the (R) stands for in Senator Rand Paul (R) Kentucky?
Run Rand Run
Rand is an absolute nut case. Just the kind of guy the GOP loves.
Senator Paul should definitely consider a run for the nomination. He is right with the times. He is an important voice within the Republican Party. He would make an attractive candidate with wide appeal. And when or lose, he would make the selection process an interesting and informative experience for all voters.
He will run and probably lose because he is against The One World Government agenda.
He should save his money for something that has a chance of succeeding.
Sure. Why not. He'll fit right in with all the other dimwits and fruitcakes in the Republican primaries if it's anything like last time.
Mr Paul seems to be promoting the idea that a bilingual nation is a good idea, plus he
is 100% against E -verify. But what about the unemployment lines for millions of Americans?
If you against any kind of Amnesty, go to this website and register.
Google this: NUMBERSUSA .Once you are registered, go to the "action board"

The "One World Agenda" doesn't vote. Americans vote. He will run and lose because the majority of American voters don't like him.
Rand Paul - America's most boring, self-regarding, opportunistic Tea-wallah
Rand Paul - America's most opportunistic and self-regarding Teapot
"Can't wait for the next GOP primary freak show."
Always good for laughs. Who will it be?:
Ms. "Vaccines-cause-autism" Bachmann?
Ms. "Caribou Barbie"?
Mr. "47%-of-all-Americans-are-deadbeats" Romney?
Mr. "Family-Values" Gingrich?
...the list goes on and on....
Please do.
I just want to get the federal jackboot out of my backyard. Decentralization of power under dual sovereignty, protection of inalienable rights, balanced federal budget, FREE market economics... sign me up.
End FEMA.
Hillary is probably contributing to his campaign. If he is the nominee, we can get used to saying "President Clinton" again. I agree with him on many things, but he is unelectable.
Rand Paul is the only person who will get my vote in 2016.
He is the only one who is fighting the right fight in defending my Bill of Rights.

I'm adding a JInternalFrame to the glass pane. I can control the size of the JInternalFrame using setPreferedSize(), but I can not control the location in which the frame is located. I tried using setBounds() before adding the frame to the glass pane, I tryed using setLocation(), but non of these methods places the frame where I want it to be. why do I get this problem? What needs to done in order to have control over the location of the JInternalFrame.

I think it is probably because the GlassPane is using a layout, the default layout of a GlassPane is a FlowLayout(because it is normally a JPanel). Anyway the solution is:((Container)getRootPane().getGlassPane()).setLayout( null );
((Container)getRootPane().getGlassPane()).setLayout( null );

This video is amazing, watch it.
The little girl is right, we need to act and we need to act now. Global Warming is here and if we don't green up the way we create and use energy, we're going to find ourselves in a bad situation in a decade or three. Mother Nature can be a dangerous lady when she's tweaked out and all hot and bothered by on overdose of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.
The Big Ask put together the video, I agree with my pals over at Max Gladwell who call it "one of the more compelling videos on global warming ever produced".

Stay Connected Anywhere
TORONTO (AP) _ Mark Buehrle pitched eight sharp innings to become baseball's first 10-game winner, Edwin Encarnacion homered again and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals 4-0 Sunday.
Buehrle (10-1) won his sixth straight decision. He gave up six hits, walked one and struck out three.
He lowered his ERA to 2.10, second-best in the AL to New York's Masahiro Tanaka, and improved to 25-12 lifetime against the Royals.
Encarnacion, who matched Mickey Mantle's AL record with 16 home runs in May, started off a new month with another drive. He hit a two-run shot off Aaron Crow in the eighth for his 19th homer of the season.
Jeremy Guthrie (2-5) lost his fifth straight decision.

Overview of the Bioinspired Soft Materials Center
The Brandeis MRSEC seeks to create new materials that are constructed from only a few simplified components, yet capture the remarkable functionalities found in living organisms. In addition to opening new directions in materials science research, these efforts will elucidate the minimal requirements for the emergence of biological function. This challenging endeavor draws upon our expertise in diverse and complementary experimental and theoretical techniques that span the physical and life sciences. Brandeis offers an ideal environment for such an interdisciplinary undertaking. Its small size engenders a highly collaborative environment. Its innovative graduate program trains students who work and thrive at the interface of physical and life sciences. Its life science faculty have pioneered biochemical studies of molecular motors and cytoskeletal machinery, its chemists have synthesized biocompatible self-assembling filaments, and its physicists have made important contributions toward understanding soft materials such as liquid crystals, gels and colloids. Researchers in the BioInspired Soft Materials Center combine elemental building blocks, such as motor proteins, DNA origami and filamentous virus, to understand the emergence of biomimetic functionalities that are highly sought-after in materials science and to synergistically engineer life-like materials.
The goal of IRG1 (Membrane based Materials) is to uncover the design principles that cells use to shape and reconfigure membranes, and to apply these principles in order to engineer heterogeneous and reconfigurable membrane materials. To accomplish this we will exploit the analogy between nanometer-sized lipid bilayers and micron-sized colloidal monolayers assembled from filamentous viruses or DNA origami rods.
The goal of IRG2 (Biological Active Materials) is to create active analogs of quintessential soft matter systems including gels, liquids crystals, emulsions and vesicles using elemental force generators, such as motor proteins and monomer treadmilling. We will experimentally and theoretically characterize the emergent properties of such materials, including their ability to convert chemical energy into mechanical work, perform locomotion, and undergo dynamical reconfiguration.

Having charged of DWI in San Antonio is a really frightening moment in your personal life. The federal government has the capacity to end your freedom for the break of your life. A few difficult processes begin to control the moment during the arrested by police. It is completely terrifying and gigantic. You should consult to a well-known San Antonio drunk driving Lawyer! But, these are official procedures only, because the true answer will depend on the quantity of alcohol that find during the enquiry and the breath test that you were charged with, the circumstances around it, the county you are in and some more. Individual who understand the drunken driving law procedure, and know how to make it work, can accurately tell you what your expectation is in your particular case. Because of this is definitely one state of the law you do not ever want to handle it. A qualified San Antonio drunk driving Lawyer or a well-known criminal defense lawyer will generally provide consultation absolutely free to anyone arrested for the drunk driving or DWI law here.
When it comes to draw attention to the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol, as well as help catch those who break the drunk driving laws in the cities and around Texas recently comes under the "Austin no refusal weekend" policy this means the driver or motor vehicle owners who are suspected of driving drunk would be compulsory to take a blood test if he refused the breath test. But by select an experienced San Antonio DWI lawyer he can reduce their own pressure.
In the whole state of Texas the Austin no refusal policy is conduct during the festivals for many years. According to officials Law enforcement the weekends that come in these days the police department are successful in catching drunk drivers that the state plans to apply "no refusal weekends" on a monthly basis.
The people who arrested by traffic police and have suspended their driving license, he should immediately contact to a well-known lawyer for fast relief. No matter what's they charge? No matter where you are arrested? After consult to an educated San Antonio drunk driving lawyer, you will fill safe and protected by yourself. They do not have charge for consultation. During the arrested by traffic police for heavy alcohol drinking your case will be very serious because the result of the heavy drinking may be go against you. The punishment may be long-term imprisonment or a huge penalty or both together. If police ask you for breath test then you can reject the police request with a well-educated lawyer.
If you don't have an experienced San Antonio DWI lawyer then result may be completely against you. The law of DUI or drunken driving today is not only limited to suspended your licensed but arrested for with heavy alcohol drinking charge the results may be long term sentence with a big amount of penalty.

Indeed, Mona! Take note friends, and pass it on!
Hi is the chat room down for good?
I represent at LEAST 10 PPL who have asked me about the chat. I pass on it has been reported but has been a long time IMO. Once again our kind tech brother Savage has opened up his chat to us. http://www.savagetek.com/oss/
When a new feature is introduced in a forum like this, there's always going to be someone who tries to exploit it, so my guess is that there would be some blowback from a "Report Spam" button; it's almost too easy to imagine that some might find a thing like that to be useful in a flame war, for example.
...for a 'report spam' button. It's a really good one and should be implemented. Don't be surprised if some unforeseen leak in the dike would spring forth as a result of that however. This site reminds me a little of a Rube Goldberg contraption sometimes. tehehehehe. Lots of love, folks. Have a grateful day.
> verification process...as well as the captcha...has slowed the spammage
I agree with Mr. Pid's assessment. The type of spam I see here doesn't seem to be bot-posted. A person has to set up an account and then deal with the captcha; you can spam dead.net, but it's a very labor intensive process for a rather narrow niche.
> a more stringent sign up and user verification process [to] deter these dope wads
Such barriers to entry would also make it much more difficult for the non-spammers, which likely far outnumber the dope wads, as you call them, wilfredtjones. My suggestion would be to add a "Report Spam" button to each post, like on craigslist, which wouldn't reduce the number of spam posts, but which would make them easier for marye to find and eradicate.
Sure is tough paging thru the shows until you get to 2/21/73, the discover the Attendees heading doesn't work. Can dead.net repair the access to shows by year and list those who attended?
I've asked for the photo upload mechanism to be repaired too: I've discontinued trying to post photos.
I don't work here, I just hang out here so all I can do is guess.
In one of my favorite bars in the world (McSorely's in NYC) there are a great many interesting artifacts hanging on the walls. One of them is a hand painted sign that reads, "Be Good or Be Gone." That concept, along with the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing seems to be the operant policy regarding user accounts here. Accounts that generate spam get nuked.
As far as stiffening the new user accreditation process, culturally we as Deadheads have been all about openness and inclusion, so it would logically follow that any website for, by and about us should mirror that basic posture. Engage us constructively and we are highly likely to reciprocate. Act like a jerk and the probable outcome is that you will be either ignored to death or someone will decide that they are the instrument of Karma and deal with you, one way or another.
Besides, I don't know how one might implement any sort of criteria for further qualifying potential users. Would they have to pass some sort of test or something? And test what? There's more than enough "Deader-Than-Thou" floating around for my taste as it is. I think you kinda have to leave the door open, wait 'til that deal comes round, and then don't let that deal go down.
But that's just how I see it. Anybody else have any bright ideas?
...by the same token though, I notice that the spammers are invariably brand spanking new users. Would not a more stringent sign up and user verification process deter these dope wads? I bet it goes back to limited resources, right?
The introduction of any user verification process (there wasn't one when I first signed up) as well as the captcha (that's what those verification thingys are called) has slowed the spammage by at least making it extremely difficult to automate the barrage. Now it at least takes manual intervention by a "dedicated" actual human being (or reasonable facsimile thereof) sitting at a keyboard to annoy us.
The best thing we as users can do is try to ignore it until marye can come along with the digital dustpan and broom and certainly not respond to it by making other posts about it. I'm assuming everyone knows better than to click on any of the proffered links. Unless, of course, any of us happen to be closet black hats with a penchant for launching DDOS attacks with whatever bot-nets we've been able to marshall, in which case by all means please extract the URL's encoded and have at them. They most certainly deserve it.
The sad truth is that it's most unfortunate that marye's valuable time has to be squandered on this sort of ridiculous housekeeping. I wish I had a better answer for her and us.

Maddy: You've been a
model for a number of years, how did you get started?
Jordan: I entered a
contest with Mode Magazine and Wilhelmina Models. I submitted some snapshots a
friend took of me at school. There were 25 000 thousand submissions and they
selected 30 people to fly to New York and meet the panel of judges.
I was both
nervous and excited when we flew to New York. I was living in Edmonton, Alberta
at the time and it was my first time in New York City. After meeting the judges
and spending several days in New York they selected 5 finalists and offered us
contracts with Wilhelmina. I have been modeling ever since.
Maddy: We know modeling
can take you to numerous places around the globe. What have been some of the
most exciting places for you and why?
Jordan: I love shooting
in the United States. I think because I grew up abroad and in Canada, traveling
the U.S has this nostalgic quality for me. Especially when shooting in cities
down south like New Orleans. There is a southern hospitality, coupled with
southern charm; and good southern cooking. I am a foodie so my travels always
involve discovering a new place to eat. I remember going to Charleston for a
shoot and having afternoon tea at an old historic hotel with my friend Valerie.
They served these little sandwiches with the crust cut off and a tray of pretty
Maddy: You are the
first plus size model to work for Cover Girl Cosmetics. Can you tell us a
little about the experience of working with this cosmetics giant and Queen
Jordan: Humbling. I
feel so fortunate to have worked with Covergirl and Queen Latifah. It was an
opportunity for me that went way beyond any expectations I had when I began
modeling and I will always feel honored that they selected me to work with
Maddy: You have also
been in a few movies, are you still pursuing your acting career?
Jordan: I have agents
on both coasts that I work with and have been taking acting classes for the
last few years. When I lived in Canada I also attended a performing arts
school. Acting has been something I have been involved in from an early age and
I think it is something that will always be a part of me.

When someone in their neighborhood expressed fear about man who might come and try to sexually assault her, neighbors, including the Utica Block Watch, came together to make sure that didn't happen.
About a year ago, a 30-year-old Lancaster woman who is developmentally challenged broke up with a former friend.
Since then, the victim said she had been sexually assaulted by the man in June 2012 and has been harassed by the man since then. No one was charged in the 2012 allegation, however. ...

Tagged: coalition
I'm using Coalition — one page layout.
I've added a page section that manually links to an external site.
How can I make this open in a new window?
Where do I add the target="_blank"?
I've search through the HTML/CSS files but cannot seem to find it.
Anyone have any idea how to do this?
You can try to use javascript – I wrote a tutorial some time ago: http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/i-want-that-external-links-links-to-other-websites-open-in-a-new-windowtab
Coalition uses js/avia.js instead of custom.js – however the code itself should be the same.
OK — I think this will only work with links I enter manually with HTML in pages or posts. But what I'm referring to is a page section in coalition…which ends up on the side bar.
I enter the Link & Section Name
I choose my section color
For Link Behaviour choose 'Link Manually' and enter the domain I'd like it to link to externally
But how can I make this open in a new window?
The link behavior field does not accept HTML
Eg you can try to use following js function in js/avia.js:
jQuery(function(){jQuery('.section-external').each(function(i){this.target = "_blank";});});
This code will add target=_blank to all menu links with "external" target.
Do I add this to the avia,js file? Or the jquery.js file?

A Turkish company has been awarded the contract to build the 600MW Ayago hydroelectric power dam in Nwoya district at a cost of US$ 1.9 billion.
A memorandum of understanding was signed at State House, in Entebbe on Saturday between Mehmet Nazif Gunal on behalf of the investor Mapa Construction Company, and government represented by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Development, Eng. Irene Muloni.
According to a State House statement, President Yoweri Museveni urged the investor to be effective and efficient in order to ensure that the project goes a long way to benefit Uganda.
"The most important thing in this project should be efficiency", the President was quoted as saying during the signing ceremony.
According to the company, the project will soon take off. Museveni, who witnessed the signing pointed out that the Government of Uganda is desirous to have the project take off immediately without delay so that Uganda increases electricity production.
Present at the ceremony were officials from the Ministry of Finance and as well as the Ministry of Energy.
Mapa Construction Company, through its contracting firms, has successfully completed superstructure and infrastructure projects including skyscrapers, and other buildings of all kinds, commercial centres, industrial plants, dams, hydroelectric power plants and irrigation systems among others in a number of different places.
According to an earlier plan, the project is expected to be developed in two phases with Ayago North to have a capacity of 350MW, and Ayago South with an expected capacity of 250MW.

It's been 10 years since The Whigs formed in Athens, Ga. But four albums in -- including this year's "Enjoy the Company," frontman Parker Gispert says the band "still feels like we're very much getting started, which I think is good.
"It doesn't feel long," says Gispert, 30. "It doesn't feel like 10 years. It feels short, although then I start thinking back, it does seem like a different lifetime when I wasn't doing (the band), so it does feel like some time has passed.
"But it still feels young. I feel like in the grand scheme of the band it's still an early stage."
One change Gispert and company have made, however, is moving from Athens to Nashville, which he says has been both pragmatic and inspiring.
"We went to school (in Athens) and haven't really been around just 'cause we're touring so much and that kind of thing," he explains. "Athens is still home for us, but Nashville is still in the South and it's an exciting time for the city. There's a lot of cool rock music happening there now. It feels like the right place for us to be.
"So it just kind of happened. We had a lot of friends there. It's more central than Athens and is closer to an airport than Athens is. Things built up slowly, and we ended up there and we're happy -- for now."
The Whigs and Kuroma perform Wednesday, Nov. 14, at the Magic Stick, 4120 Woodward Ave., Detroit. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $14. Call 313-833-9700 or visit www.majesticdetroit.com.

Government priorities
Government priorities
Is this country still America? Land of the free — protector of the innocent and the needy? I think not.
Everyone wants to come to America. If these people knew how our government treats its citizens, they would think twice about coming here.
Politicians are constantly running for office. As soon as one election is over, they start running for the next election.
This country is falling apart and they don't care. We suffer and they go on vacation. Why should they worry; they have good-paying jobs and all the kickbacks they can handle.
Our government thinks more of the rest of the world's people than it does its own people.
We pay taxes so other countries can feed and clothe their people, but when we need help, our government says, "Sorry, it's not in the budget." We don't need more foreign aid; what we need is domestic aid.
If Congress doesn't have money in the budget to keep things open and people working, then they shouldn't use our tax dollars for foreign aid — use it for domestic aid.
Maybe each member of Congress can donate one week of pay to a fund to help our own people.

Not everyone can agree with me but come on... Does it everytime I want to flip through the channels, I come across the most not so humorous shows and ignorant wannabe actors. My sister every time i walk into the living room, i notice that she leaves it on the dumb-ass show That so Random! Now since your reading this and your a big fan of That So Random! Im not insulting you for watching it, I'm just pissed that they would take the concept of Saturday Night Live and MadTv. Seriously, they do a poor job and they are not that funny...
If you remember when you were young, those days when you sat infront of the tv and watched the nickeoloaden shows like All-that and Kenhan & Kel. Now those shows i used remember were awsome but since I have grown into maturity those shows have lost their "fling". I understand that we are in that new era and these new shows now are trying to send a message but seriously don't use any humor in your shows anymore. Reason why is that, Kids these days are copying these shows and teaching kids not only to act like ass-holes but in-experience pricks as well. Have you notice that these kids are now talking back to adults and most are taking them for granted. I use to do it too. But through a series of humility and no respect, I realize that my problem is not my looks or who I hang out with but my attitude torwards people. These shows acted by kids to show that they are the same as you then you have been decieved. I am here not to take anyone down or hurt them, I am here to finally get this off my chest and finally... watch Regular Show.
If you have read this far, thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully you leave a comment to get something off your chest as well. This is J03wEE and I'm out!

Unavoidable sequel to Raimi's 'Oz' planned; two studios finance 'Interstellar' and 'Galactica' writer sells series to Syfy
The love affair Hollywood currently has with churning out origin stories to other studios previous hits continue, as Disney is ramping up a sequel to Oz: The Great and Powerful, which of course is a prequel to the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz. And while L. Frank Baum's original novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is in the public domain, the imagery created for the Warner Bros. original film cannot be used by the House of Mouse, which basically means, Disney will need to stick to adventures set before Dorothy arrives (because no one wants to do a sequel, as memories of 1985's Return to Oz are still too close to the surface). Mitchell Kapner, who penned the original with David Lindsay-Abaire, will write the follow-up.
In an all too rare move, Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros will co-finance Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, set for release on November 7, 2014. Nolan is set to write (based on an original script by his brother, Jonathan) and direct the film which will depict a heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest reaches of our scientific understanding. Paramount will release the film domestically, while WB will handle the international release.
Ron Moore, who re-imaged Battlestar Galactica, yet failed to get anyone interested in its prequels, the more cerebral Caprica and the more action-packed, but empty of life Blood and Chrome, has a 13 episode commitment from the stupidly named Syfy Channel for Helix, "a thriller about a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control who travel to a high-tech research facility in the Arctic to investigate a possible disease outbreak. There, they find themselves in a terrifying life-and-death struggle that holds the key to mankind's salvation or total annihilation." Moore, who has attempted to produce a few other TV series since -the Western themed Hangtown, the Harry Potter like procedural 17th Prescient and the reboot of the classic late 1960's series Wild Wild West to no avail- did sell his adaptation of Outland, based on the over-long (though it does have a huge female fanbase) Diana Gabaldon novels, to Sony. Meanwhile, the aggravating Syfy Channel ordered this straight to series, which is not unusual, and there maybe something good in it. Although, since some are already comparing this premise to The Walking Dead set in the arctic (and, ironically, AMC is developing a series set in the arctic, based on the supernatural novel The Terror), as someone else pointed out, the premise really resembles The Thing (and I'm assuming not the original, but the gory to max two remakes). And really, its not a question of how many similar themed shows the cable and broadcast networks air, but really its about who's doing it cash in on a trend and who's doing it because there is a good story to tell.

The rear of the two-story home appeared to suffer most of the fire damage, particularly an area around the back porch.
- Filed Under
A firefighter suffered a minor injury while fighting a fire in the early morning hours Wednesday.
West Licking Joint Fire District received a call reporting a fire at 9494 Mink St. at 3:26 a.m., and firefighters arrived at 3:33 a.m.
No one was home at the time because the home is vacant, West Licking Acting Chief Ken Mathews said.
A firefighter suffered a minor hand injury fighting the blaze, Mathews said. The firefighter was transported for precautionary reasons to nearby Mount Carmel East, where he was treated and released, Mathews said. The firefighter already has returned to work by Wednesday morning, Mathews said.
The vacant home stood 50 yards south of U.S. 40, directly across from Wagram United Methodist Church, and West Licking closed a portion of Mink Street while fighting the blaze, which damaged the rear of the two-story home.
Fire investigators were expected to return to the scene Wednesday afternoon, and Mathews said they had yet to determine a cause or calculate damage estimates.
"At present time, it's still under investigation," said Mathews, adding fire investigators were not ruling out anything.
Firefighters did not finish fighting the fire until 5:30 a.m.
At sunrise, the damage the fire left behind was easily visible.
Peeled and blackened siding could be seen on the south-facing portion of the home.
In the front of the home, the upstairs windows were smashed, with the screens and glass left lying on the roof and front lawn. A red realty sign remained standing in front of the home, as did a tire swing tied to a tree.
While Mathews did not have the name of the home's owner, he said it appeared someone had recently spent time remodeling the home.

RSC Postpones McKellen Lear Due to Barber Injury
Editorial Staff • West End • 2 Apr 2007
An alternative press night will be announced shortly. Previewing since 26 March, King Lear continues at Stratford-upon-Avon's Courtyard Theatre until 23 June 2007. It's joined in rep by The Seagull, which is also directed by Nunn and performed by the same company of 23 actors, with a press night scheduled for 31 May. Following Stratford, both productions visit Newcastle's Theatre Royal (29 June – 7 July) and then embark on an international tour to Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and the US, concluding in Los Angeles on 28 October 2007.
Although critics will no longer be attending, tomorrow night's performance of King Lear will go ahead with understudy Melanie Jessop in the role of Goneril. In a statement issued this afternoon, Trevor Nunn said: "It is very unfortunate that Frances' injury means we must delay the press performance of Lear, but Ian (McKellen) and I both feel that the production should be seen in its entirety as it has been rehearsed, and that it would be unfair on the understudy to be reviewed in only her second performance in the role. Frances will have to undergo surgery in the next few days. We are hopeful that she will soon recover and be able to resume her role in Lear, and as Arkadina in the forthcoming production of The Seagull."
Barber previously played opposite McKellen in the Old Vic's Aladdin in 2005/6. She won the Whatsonstage.com Award for Best Actress in a Musical for Closer to Heaven 2002 and was nominated for Best Actress in a Play for her role as Nurse Ratched opposite Christian Slater in the 2004 West End run of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Last summer, she starred as Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra at Shakespeare's Globe.
The company for King Lear and The Seagull also features: Romola Garai (Cordelia/Nina), Sylvester McCoy, Monica Dolan, Jonathan Hyde, Ben Meyjes and William Gaunt. Others in the cast are: Ben Addis, Adam Booth, Russell Byrne, Richard Goulding, Julian Harries, John Heffernan, Peter Hinton, Seymour Matthews, David Weston, Guy Williams, Philip Winchester, Zoe Boyle, Naomi Capron and Melanie Jessop. The productions are designed by Christopher Oram, with lighting by Neil Austin, sound by Fergus O'Hare and music by Steve Edis.

Gajarajan Guruvayoor Kesavan (1904 - December 2, 1976) is perhaps the most famous and celebrated Elephant of Kerala, South India. Kesavan was donated to the Guruvayoor Hindu temple by the royal family of Nilambur in 1916.[१] It is a common custom in Kerala to donate elephants to the deity of the temple as an offering, Guruvayur temple have a very good facilities to maintain all of these elephants now totalling 60 in number at Punnathurkotta.
Standing over 3.2 meters tall, Kesavan was known for his devout behavior. Kesavan died on "Guruvayur Ekadasi," considered a very auspicious day. He fasted for the entire day and dropped down facing the direction of the temple with his trunk raised as a mark of prostration. The anniversary of his death is still celebrated in Guruvauyur. Many elephants line up before the statue and the chief elephant garlands it. Kesavan was conferred the unique title "Gajarajan" (Elephant King), by the Guruvayoor Devaswom.
The Guruvayoor Devaswom erected a life-size statue of Keshavan in its precincts as tribute to the services he rendered to the presiding deity of the temple. His tusks, along with a majestic portrait of the elephant, can be still seen adorning the entrance to the main temple enclosure. His life is the subject of a Malayalam feature film which bears his name.
The story of Guruvayoor Kesavan was later potrayed as a telivision serial in surya tv.

Someone taught you how to love,
and probably didn't know it.
And in return, with every day,
It's now your turn to show it.
When you love, you give a gift,
And when you're gone it stays
To be passed on by the ones you loved
To make some one else's day.
So remember someone who loved you,
And show how much you care,
By sharing all the love they gave
With people everywhere.
When you give away your love,
That doesn't mean it's gone.

"Love is everything" ?!?!?!?! hmmm…. I am not agree with you, everything is GOD!… BUT anyway it is just a comment! Take care!
thanx Mary, how peaceful is that! Jane
yes indeed,
love should be taught to others so that it remains in constant chain of inheritance,and be passed on from one generation to the other.
God Bles you and Love Well!!
Thanks to you Claire.
Love indeed is the foundation of our redemption, the basis for our togetherness(unity) and it will transcend the physical.We all need love and should all share love.
