Draco Malfoy
this wiki
Draco Malfoy (born June 5, 1980) is a student at Hogwarts in Harry Potter's year. He was sorted into Slytherin House and is Harry's archenemy at Hogwarts. Draco Malfoy is tall and slender, with pale skin and a sharp featured face. He has sleek, silverish blond hair and cold, grey eyes.
Draco is friends of a sort with Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, although he looks upon them as being slow and stupid, which is perfectly true. He is also seen sometimes with Blaise Zabini. J. K. Rowling intended, several times, to include a scene with Draco talking to Theodore Nott, whom he considers a superior, but she could not work it in. Draco also appears to enjoy the company of Pansy Parkinson.
Early Childhood
Draco was born to Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy (née Black), who were both pure-bloods. They are quite proud of having pure blood and, at least until Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, their continued allegiance to Lord Voldemort while maintaining a respectable public image.
Both the Malfoy family and the Black family have traditionally been in Slytherin House for centuries; indeed, the Blacks usually disowned anyone who was not (for example, Sirius Black). This tendency caused Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in Chamber of Secrets to suspect Draco of being the Heir of Slytherin.
The Malfoys are rich and therefore spoiled their son, giving him the best of everything as far as material possessions go. The only hand-me-down thing Draco has ever received would be the old family prejudice against Muggles, Muggle-borns (or Mudbloods), and half-bloods; in short, prejudice against anyone who is not a pure-blood witch or wizard.
When Draco went to Diagon Alley to shop for school supplies, he meets Harry Potter in Madam Malkin's, without knowing who he is. He made a rather intolerant speech about Muggle-borns, but otherwise acted in a friendly way towards Harry. Later, on the Hogwarts Express, he offered his friendship to Harry. Harry, however, did not like the attitude he had towards Ron Weasley, with whom Harry had already made friends, and so turned him down, creating animosity that lasted through the rest of their schooling.
Draco seemed to be a talented wizard. In his very first Potions lesson, his potion-making is held up to the class by Professor Snape as a very good example.
Fourth Year
In 1994, Harry realises that Malfoy is the informer and impetus behind Rita Skeeter's continuing assault on Harry's credibility, which sets the stage for widespread disbelief of Harry's announcement that Voldemort has returned. During the competition for the Goblet of Fire he supports Cedric Diggory, and regularly taunts Harry making comments like how he's betting that he won't last more than a few minutes with the dragons. Also, he attends the Yule Ball with Pansy Parkinson.
Fifth Year
In 1996, Draco joins Dolores Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad, and plays an important part in the discovery of Dumbledore's Army, which is founded and headed by Harry. Draco catches Harry running out of the last meeting of Dumbledore's Army, recieving fifty points. Later that year, Draco is one of the Inquisitorial Squad members, along with Millicent Bulstrode, Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe, Warrington, and several other members of Slytherin house who catch Harry in his attempt to find out about the wherabouts of Sirius Black. However, after being informed of the existence of a "weapon" that Dumbledore intended to use upon the Ministry of Magic, he attempts to weedle himself into going with Umbridge to take Harry and Hermione in to the Forbidden Forest, which is quickly rebuked. After Umbridge leaves, he recieves a litany of Stunning Spells and Disarming Charms from Ron, Neville, Luna Lovegood, and Ginny Weasley, all of which was capped off by a Bat-Bogey Hex offered by Ginny, allowing the group to escape. After the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, he loses his father to Azakaban, as he is imprisoned for participating in the break-in.
Sixth year
In Half-Blood Prince, Draco was presumed to have joined the Death Eaters, having replaced his father, who was locked up in Azkaban after the "fiasco" at the Ministry of Magic that summer. He bragged about the mission he has been given to his fellow Slytherin friends on the Hogwarts Express. However, later on in the school year, when his mission is going badly, he is seen crying in a bathroom in fear and despair because he could not repair the Vanishing Cabinet that was so crucial to his mission of killing Albus Dumbledore, which he has been assigned to do. He finally managed to fix the cabinet, thereby letting several Death Eaters into Hogwarts, but when he was finally given the opportunity to kill Dumbledore, he was unable to do it, instead lowering his wand. Snape, who had made an Unbreakable Vow to Draco's mother, Narcissa, stepped in at that point and finishes the task for him, and promptly leads him out of the school grounds, presumably to safety. When Draco took Dumbledore's wand from him, he gained the allegiance of the Elder Wand, one of the three Deathly Hallows.
Draco is also able to block jinxes nonverbally[HP6]. He is also accomplished at Occlumency, and can perform the very difficult Protean Charm, though he can not yet produce a corporeal patronus [1].
Seventh Year and later
Draco finds himself in his Seventh year at Hogwarts as being one of the elite students, due largely to his family's connections within both the Death Eaters and Ministry of Magic. During the Easter holidays, Draco is called upon by his parents and aunt Bellatrix to confirm the identities of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Dean Thomas, who were caught by a group of snatchers led by Fenrir Greyback. In this scenario, Draco is called upon to bring up Griphook from the Malfoy Manor dungeon to have him confirm the identity of the Sword of Gryffindor. During the escape attempt led by Ron and Harry, he has his face cut by a fallen chandelier and his wand stolen by Harry, along with the wands of Bellatrix and Peter Pettigrew. Later that same year, during the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco, along with Crabbe and Goyle choose to remain behind their Slytherin counterparts who were evacuating the school in order to bring Harry Potter to Voldemort in a showing of allegience. However, Draco appears to no longer exhibit the control he once held over his two counterparts, particularly that of Crabbe, who is skeptical of the abilities of Malfoy family in general. Harry saves Draco's life when the Room of Requirement's hidden chamber was burnt down as a direct result of a Fiendfyre curse cast by Crabbe. During the fire Draco went out of his way to try and save Goyle, who was knocked out during the fight.
Draco eventually married AStoria Greengrass. The two had a son together, Scorpius Malfoy. On September 1st, 2017, Draco greeted Harry, Ron and Hermione when they were adults at King's Cross Station with a curt nod. The relationship between Harry and Draco is better than it had been when they were students together, but they are still not considered to be friends.
- His name, like many of the Black Family's is after a constellation. Draco is also a Latin word that translates as "dragon", and an ancient Greek word for "serpent".
- He would have attended Durmstrang Institute but his mother didn't want him straying so far from home.

Scientists are developing a universal vaccine that
will offer protection against any and all flu
strains. The work is under way at the Vaccine
Research Center at the National Institutes of
Paula Wolfson, wtop.com
BETHESDA, Md. – It could be a huge game changer in flu prevention.
Scientists are developing a universal vaccine that will offer protection against any and all flu strains, and the nucleus of that research is in the D.C. region.
It's taking place at the Vaccine Research Center at the National Institutes of Health, which was originally established in the mid-1990s to develop an AIDS vaccine.
That work is continuing, but the mission of the center is broader and these days, work on a universal flu vaccine is another big priority.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, convinced former President Bill Clinton to launch the center at the height of the AIDS epidemic.
"This is one of the few places anywhere where you can really have a 'soup to nuts' approach, where in the same building, the same camaraderie, you go from very basic research up through and including manufacturing a pilot lot of vaccine…to an actual clinical trial," he says,
It's an approach well suited to the challenge of creating a breakthrough in flu prevention. Current vaccines target a part of the virus that changes or "drifts" over time. That is why there is a new vaccine every year.
Scientists have found a part of the virus common to all flu strains but, for some reason, the immune system cannot see it.
Using molecular engineering and other high-tech tools, scientists at the Vaccine Research Center are looking for a way to get the body to create an immune response to that hidden virus "stem."
Watch an animation of the flu virus:
Dr. Rick Koup, director of the immunology lab, says there's a sense of optimism among the 100 or so staffers at the center.
"We know that we can induce the types of antibodies that have universal targeting of the different strains of influenza," he says.
Koup says translating this into an actual product that can be manufactured may take a few years, maybe longer. But a tour of the lab reveals excitement, and Koup says everyone knows what is at stake.
"If we had a universal vaccine where basically you get the vaccine and you are protected against virtually all of the strains that are out there, it would be a huge game changer."
A universal vaccine would remove the annual uncertainty over which strains are likely to strike and when. It would also take away the inconvenience of getting a flu shot every year, and Fauci predicts that will encourage more people to get vaccinated.
But don't ask him for a timetable. Fauci says 10 years ago he wasn't even sure a universal vaccine was possible. But now, though he can't say when, he believes it will happen

Comments On Mar 22, 2014:This really is a fantastic bag. Before purchasing this, I actually ordered a couple other bags that were $100 more than the Scott, and ended up sending both of them back. As soon as the Scott arrived I knew I had made the right choice. The boot compartment is the perfect fit for my tech 10's, and the separate helmet compartment has a nice wide opening to get the helmet in and out easily. Only real complaint is the lack of a shoulder strap, and the wheels really should have had a straight axle connecting the two wheels. When fully loaded, the plastic base holding the wheels bends, causing the bag to drag.
All in all I would definitely buy this bag again, Even if the price were $150ish
Pros: Separate boot and helmet compartments High quality zippers Goggle pouch on the top Document pouch (good for race license and bike registration) Plenty big enough to fit all your gear
Cons: No shoulder strap The wheels don't have an axle, so they flex and the bag drags.

Comments On Jan 26, 2014:Great bag for the price. I ride about every other weekend and have had the bag for about a year and there are no sight of it wearing or failing. Great bag and good size opening to fit all your gear. Separate helmet compartments are great as well.

Comments On Aug 28, 2013:Good quality stitching, zippers, padded sides to help it stand on it's own. Plenty of room for gear, and about 4 smallish size zip up pockets on the outside also. No additional side pockets inside the main area is a bummer, but overall great bag for the price.

Comments On May 01, 2013:FANTASTIC BAG! The boot pocket is great. The helmet pocket and goggle pocket keeps everything from getting scratched. Plenty of room in the center for my gear + an extra change of clothes including a small tool kit. 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

Comments On Sep 04, 2012:The Scott bag is a bit on the small side. It holds 1 set of gear ok but extra gear ie pants, jersey, socks and especially goggles fill it up to the limit. A zip out changing pad would have been nice. The handles and rollers are really nice. For a full day of riding/racing I would recommend going to a larger bag.
Additional Comments On Sep 08, 2012:Found the changing pad. Its like a piece of nylon material but its better than standing in the dirt.

Scary Clown
Circuses are places of amusement for most, but for some people, they can be the source of nightmares. The Scary Clown Costumes feature outfits and accessories for clown characters you wouldn't want to be caught anywhere near. These brightly colored outfits may look inviting, but don't be fooled because the masks that are included in this selection show the dark and evil side of this seemingly harmless profession.
Black and White Halloween Jester Costume
Siamese Clown Over Head Halloween Mask
Big Top Terror Boy's Clown Costume
Adult Supersoft Smiley Mask with Moving Mouth
Adult's Last Laugh Clown Costume
Deranged Killer Clown Costume for Men
Lizard Tongue Evil Clown Scary Mask
Dressing up in these outfits shows just how far down a clown can go when pushed to the brink of insanity. Various movies over the years have reinforced this notion, so when you go to a Halloween party done up in makeup like these, you'll have a number of people keeping their distance as far away from you as possible. Masks feature large crazy eyes and mouths filled with razor sharp teeth.
The costumes feature elements like polka dots, big collars, and other cute and fun elements that make typical clown suits look fun. It is precisely this feature that make clowns so frightening to people with a phobia of them. Clowns look like a product of deceit posing as fun and harmless individuals. The clowns in this section are certainly putting together a ruse.

So yea the name is awfully off putting. I mean seriously. Magical Girls(MG)? What are we, 10 year old girls?
But Madoka isn't your typical MG show, like sailor moon or tokyo mew mew (ew did really just type tokyo mew mew?), filled with sugary cuteness and pink bubbles in every transformation scene. Aimed at a much older audience(rated R to +17), this anime actually has plot, character development, and human emotion that speak volumes about the characters. The show is suspenseful, gritty, and most importantly, interesting. Don't believe me? Here is a clip of the first 9 mins of episode 1 here. Watch the first 3 mins of it and you'll get a feel for how this series really is. At about 1 min the first song of the series starts and it freaking gave me the creeps! I honestly did not expect any song in a magical girl show to sound like that song, but it successfully built mood and made me actually think this series was going to be interesting to watch. Of course the rest of the clip is upbeat, so you'd have to watch more of it to really understand how good the show is.
Usually magical girls are all about happiness and friendship, working together to overcome obstacles, and a whole ton of fluff and pomp to make everything seem nice nice and feel good. Madoka Magica still has all of that but with a whole lot less fluff and much more realism. It openly displays rivalry between magical girls that you would never see in other MG shows since they're all about friendship and team work, and Madoka Magica hints and teases at something very sinister hiding beneath the surface of the title and abilities of those labeled "magical girls".
All in all, this is a series you really have to give a chance to because it is just amazing and will suck you in.

Murray - The Interview
« on: November 21, 2011, 05:49 PM »
A crowd of youngsters, journalists and PR workers are squeezed into the tiny foyer of a relatively unassuming, modest building in East London. In the main hall Andy Murray is playing road tennis with former WBA world heavyweight champion boxer David Haye.
It's an easy game to understand. Put simply, it's a smaller version of tennis played with a low net, a small, squidgy ball, and ping pong style rackets.
After waiting in the walkway for a few minutes, MW is led into the hall and takes a seat with members of the press behind the clan of excited youngsters. A group of cameramen film proceedings and it's a relaxed scene. The only conflict going on is between Haye and his racket. He isn't very good at this game and, tellingly enough, blames the equipment. Ah yes, that old classic.
At this point, a PR colleague walks across the court and asks the gang in front of MW if today is anyone's birthday. A short silence follows, and a young, shaggy haired boy of around 15 tentatively raises his hand. He sheepishly walks onto the court and Murray steps over the low net, shakes the boy's hand and exchanges pleasantries.
Read more (760 words)
The two hit for a few minutes amid the hubbub of cameras and microphones, before the kid hits another striking winner. Murray turns, smiles, and asks: "Do you play tennis?"
Stood outside the tiny press room, MW chats with journalists and bloggers until they are guided in. They find Murray in an amicable mood, already engaged in conversation with a young yet confident journalist. The Scot looks up as the door opens, offers another handshake and says: "Hi, how are you?"
"We're playing Fantasy Football again this season," tells the world number three. "But we're playing a different system now. Last season, it got to the point where everyone had the same team. So now we have a system where, for example, only one person in the league can have Wayne Rooney. There are a few people who have been trying to do a few dodgy deals, though." Murray looks accusingly at his occasional doubles partner Colin Fleming, who leans nonchalantly against the wall of the small, sparsely furnished room, crossing his arms.
A three-time grand slam finalist, Murray speaks confidently and openly with an audience of writers whom he has never met before. Indeed, he even confides in the press about his mysterious lack of tweeting. Many fans have wondered why they no longer see him chatting online with the likes of Fleming and his doubles partner Ross Hutchins.
"I was probably one of the first sportspeople to tweet a lot. I didn't have a reason for stopping," Murray remembers. "After the US Open [where Murray reached the semi-finals] I just wanted to take some time off from it, as well as media work. I enjoyed it for the most part but haven't missed it so I just stopped completely."
His joking with friends and tales of Fantasy Football banter underline his good-humoured nature yet unveil a competitive streak that has propelled him to stardom in one of the toughest sports on the planet.
On the back of three tournament wins and 17 matches unbeaten – that run upended by Tomas Berdych two weeks ago in Paris – Murray's confidence is audibly buzzing around the room. "I think guys feel pressured by me," he says – and what a time for such a dramatic spike in form.
Murray is this week playing in the ATP World Tour Finals at London's O2 Arena, the season-ending tournament comprising of the top eight players in the world. Roger Federer is buoyant after his victory over Jo-Wilfried in the Paris Masters Final, while Murray's other main rivals – Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal – have taken time out to nurse injuries.
Ever the shrewd analyst, Murray comments that: "If you haven't played many matches, then go into somewhere as intense as the O2, you're going to feel pretty rough afterwards." He continues: "I've played a lot, so that always helps. Roger [Federer] will feel fresh but someone like Rafa [Nadal], who hasn't played much, sure, he'll feel fresh now, but after his first long match he'll feel it.
"It's a very challenging tournament because you have to be playing great and on your game from the first match. In my first match I'll play the number five or number six in the world which doesn't happen anywhere else. Anytime you have to beat potentially two of the best players ever in one week it's hard. It's one of the best tournaments to win, though."
Murray appears excited before the tournament and, refreshingly enough, answers everything candidly. He is at ease with most topics raised and doesn't shy away from the unavoidable dilemma of home advantage.
He describes the O2 as "intense" but passionately rejects claims that the weight is on his shoulders during the World Tour Finals. Murray argues: "There's a bit of a misconception. Everyone seems to think that when I play at Wimbledon, the O2, there's more pressure on me. In every other sport – football, rugby – playing at home is seen as an advantage. Anytime you play at home, it's a positive. I've had great results at Wimbledon and Queens, and have played well at the 02. It definitely helps."
Fantasy Football debate aside, Murray is primed for one of the biggest tournaments of the year and his words exude confidence. He'll hope his chances of winning at the O2 are anything but fantasy.
Remember to check MW again very soon for another exclusive with Murray, where he discusses one of the most hotly debated topics this year.

text: What happened to the Humboldt squid? Science 12 October 12 by Daniela Hernandez William Gilly has seen a Kraken. The mythical squid beast with ship-dooming tentacles surely exists, Gilly says, because he's seen a baby one. "It was this big around," he says, making a circle as big as a tire with his arms, a proud, boyish smile on his face. Fishermen spotted the carcass of the 2.4-metre-long, 181-kilogram baby giant squid in Monterey Bay three years ago, according to Gilly."If you're an assistant professor proposing to study it, I don't think you'd get tenure," he says. "But one has to exist."Gilly's laboratory at Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove brims with squid décor: stuffed animals, preserved specimens, glass figurines, drawings, photographs, plastic toys, and piñatas. He has studied these denizens of the sea for almost four decades, and he's handled countless numbers of the fabled Kraken's smaller cousins, the very real jumbo Humboldt squid. Like their giant counterparts, Humboldt squid are enigmatic. No one has seen them mate or lay eggs. No one has watched them develop from egg to adult. No one knows how many exist.These tentacled titans have now ensnared marine biologists with another riddle: they have left their normal gathering grounds in the Sea of Cortez in Baja California, Mexico. Fishermen worry that a critical part of their livelihood may be gone. Many families have depended on Humboldt squid since the slippery creatures moved in droves into the Gulf of California's Guaymas Basin in the 1970s."We have a huge problem on our hands," says coordinator Juan Pedro Vela Arreola of the Alianza de Ribereños y Armadores, an association of fishermen and producers in Mexico. "Fishermen are desperate."Gilly blames the most recent El Niño in the Pacific Ocean for forcing some Humboldt squid to migrate away. Others have physically shrunk -- just one bizarre adaptation among their many strange body-shifting traits. Leaders of Mexican fisheries and scientists are banding together to figure out whether the diablos rojos (red devils) will come back, and how to cope in the meantime."You have to learn to live in a very unpredictable way," says marine biologist Unai Markaida of El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (ECOSUR) in Campeche, Mexico. "You live like a squid, and you adapt to the life it leads."Seeking cephalopods "They're very mysterious," says marine biologist Danna Staaf, stressing very in a slightly higher pitch. "And so weird." Staaf, a self-described "cephalopodiatrist," completed her PhD with Gilly's team. She studied Humboldt squid on two summer research cruises in the Gulf of California before the latest El Niño drove them away. She and her crewmates pulled up to 15 squid out of the water every night, when they would come up to the surface from depths of more than 975 metres to feed. Many of the 9-kilogram cephalopods she caught were about 1.2 metres long. Most were a year old. Scientists can tell their age by looking at the number of rings on tiny crystals located near their brain called statoliths, like botanists can age a tree by counting its rings. These stones help a squid detect gravity and maintain their balance and sense of space.The scientists stored some of the catch in their "squid condo," an oversize cooler with continuously flowing water and six clear, plastic tubes. They housed squid in separate tubes to keep them from attacking one another. Over the next few days, they studied the squids' behaviours and neurophysiology. For instance, altering the temperature and oxygen content of the water could trigger or change their escape response -- the way squid dart away when startled by a predator.Staaf dissected other squid to study their development, the focus of her dissertation. She used their eggs and sperm to make squid babies. She wanted to discover the temperature range at which their eggs could hatch and develop. At the time, Humboldt squid had spread to waters off the coast of Monterey. Marine scientists thought the squid might establish new colonies there, but Staaf wanted to know whether it was even possible for the animals to grow in the much cooler waters of California's Pacific coast. In the lab, she found, their eggs can grow between temperatures of 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, suggesting it is possible they could set up a breeding population. Whether squid babies have the same preferences in the wild is still unknown, Staaf says.Other team members studied squid chromatophores, structures in their muscles that allow them to change colour. Humboldts sometimes flash from red to white as they propel themselves through dark waters. Scientists don't know how they control these colour shifts, whether it's the brain or local nerve cells that set off the flickering. They also don't fully understand why they suddenly change colours, but some speculate it's a form of communication.When they're not in direct contact with other squid, their flesh flickers from red to white in a random, mosaic-like pattern. Gilly compares this to visual white noise. But as they interact with their species, the irregular colour waves become more organised, like a cephalopod Morse code, Gilly says. They can change the intensity of the flashing, as well as the rhythm and frequency. Squid might use these "calls," together with arm posturing, to attract mates or to establish hierarchies, for example.Gilly and his team have seen some of these behaviours through underwater "Crittercams," about the size of 340-gram drink bottle, attached to a squid's back. "Ideally, we'd also like to see what they eat," Gilly says, because that might help his team study these animals. Scientists can't get Humboldts to eat in the lab, so squid last only a few days in captivity.Indeed, squid dislike being trapped, strongly. Sometimes they get so anxious, they ram themselves against the tank. "They've never seen the bottom. They've certainly never seen the wall of a tank," Gilly says. "They're intelligent organisms. And when you put one in an abnormal situation, they get totally freaked out. They don't do their flickering in the lab," he notes.Scientists do know that during the day, Humboldt squid forage for silvery lanternfish and other small animals in the oxygen minimum zone, a dark, cold netherworld more than 900 metres deep. Here, oxygen is scarce, and while few animals can withstand its hostile environment, Humboldts seem to thrive. "Living in low oxygen -- that's surprising, especially for an animal that's an athlete," Markaida says. How they move and how their nervous system functions under these conditions is still a mystery. Widespread changes in the temperatures of Earth's oceans have compelled many creatures, including the powerful Humboldt squid, to seek new climes. Their dominion usually stretches from Argentina to California, but more recently they've been spotted in Canada and Alaska. Scientists don't yet understand how the squid are settling into their new hangouts. This month, a few Humboldts stranded themselves on the beaches of Pacific Grove, Calif, while whale-watching boats have spotted them near Point Pinos. These sightings might be a sign they are returning, Gilly says. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

In 1986, European leaders agreed to open up their borders to the free movement of goods, capital, people and services. Ever since, the European single market has ensured trade, competition, consumer choice, employment and prosperity in Europe. Yet 25 years later, there is still no single market in electricity. Consumers are supplied with electricity that is generally produced nationally, and as competition is ineffective, electricity suppliers can pass any price increase onto that same consumer.
In order to achieve a single market in electricity, Europe needs both the electricity network to transport electricity from one part of Europe to another, and a common set of market rules.

Athens, GA (Sports Network) - Nemanja Djurisic and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
both scored 17 points as they led the Georgia Bulldogs to a 52-41 win over the
George Washington Colonials in non-conference action at Stegeman Coliseum.
Caldwell-Pope also accounted for six rebounds, three assists and a couple of
steals for the Bulldogs (6-7) as they won their fourth straight game. John
Florveus chipped in with a game-high 10 rebounds.
The Colonials (6-7) were paced by Kevin Larsen who tallied 14 points as he
made good on all six of his field goal attempts, but the other four starters
combined to shoot only 6-of-33 from the floor as the team had a two-game win
streak snapped.
A close game throughout the first half, both teams had trouble finding the
basket as Georgia made good on just 36.4 percent and the Colonials 33.3
percent, yet it was the visitors who put up a 21-18 advantage at the break as
they outscored the Bulldogs in the paint, 12-6.
In the second half GW went completely cold from the floor, connecting on a
mere 5-of-30 (.167), missing all 10 chances behind the 3-point line, all while
the Bulldogs were hitting a sizzling 64.7 percent from the field in order to
pull away for the double-digit win.
Georgia, which turned the ball over a staggering 25 times on the night, held
the visitors without a 3-point basket (0-of-12) and just 24.6 percent accuracy
from the field overall.

Danzig Moon
3yo Colt Malibu Moon Leaveminthedust
6-1-2-0 $311,120
A spectacular work horse in the morning that had yet to put it all together in the afternoon, Danzig Moon ran a creditable race in the Kentucky Derby to finish fifth in a field of 18 3-year-olds, beaten just over six lengths.
The bay son of Malibu Moon, sire of 2013 Derby winner Orb, Danzig Moon went winless in two starts as a juvenile before breaking through in his sophomore debut, a 4 ¾-length maiden special weight score going one mile Feb. 7 at Gulfstream Park.
Based at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream's satellite training facility in Palm Beach County, trainer Mark Casse shipped Danzig Moon to Tampa Bay Downs where he was a non-threatening fourth in the Tampa Bay Derby (G2) March 7.
Danzig Moon showed a much better effort in his subsequent start, the 1 1/8-mile Blue Grass (G1), where he swung six wide at the quarter pole to launch a bid that came up three lengths short of winner Carpe Diem. They met again in the Derby, with Carpe Diem fading to finish 10th.

[CS6] My name is Alberto Seveso. I'm an illustrator. I'm from Portoscuso, Sardinia, Italy. Sardinia is a stunning island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. It's very different from Italy, meaning that it's got its own culture, its own very strong identity, whether it's the cuisine or the cultural traditions. Also, Sardinia has its own language. It's a very beautiful place. I have always liked creativity, meaning, doing something creative. I started many years ago with the first graphic design software for fun. I didn't study. I am totally self-taught. Maybe not knowing how to draw pushed me to express myself with other tools, with computers and computer software. Because, if you don't have--you know--the basics of creative drawing you can still make something beautiful, something creative, interesting. I did it just to have fun. I would never have thought it could turn into a profession. I am very attracted to people's portraits, especially by faces and facial expressions, and in a sense I like giving them a new face. The process basically starts from black. Then, basically, I add elements that are vector objects that go inside the image. Basically this face sort of creates itself. Riding my bike makes me feel good. You can just pull the plug a bit. It's not like I have a life that's so--how can I say--such a busy life. At the same time, though, I think that the freedom you feel when you're just riding a motorbike is just perfect, just beautiful. [♪ Music ♪] I am definitely a better cook than I am a graphic designer. Maybe, come to think of it, when you cook you have to put together a lot of small pieces. When you cook pasta you have to slice some onion or garlic, and in the end everything comes together in a dish that you'll eat and enjoy. More or less it's the same thing with Photoshop because in the end you bring a lot of pieces together, and at the end you have a dish. I devoted myself to creativity in a different way. I make art because, for one thing, because I love it, for sure. Secondly...secondly because I love it. I mean, I love it, and that's it. I do this because I love it. That's all. [Adobe]

With 21 states now banning or severely restricting insurance companies from paying for abortions, Washington state is alone in seriously considering legislation mandating the opposite.
The Reproductive Parity Act, as supporters call it, would require insurers in Washington state who cover maternity care -- which all insurers must do -- to also pay for abortions.
The bill passed the state House earlier this month by a vote of 53-43, though it faces an uncertain future in the Senate.
The proximate cause of Washington state's measure is the federal Affordable Care Act. Under language pushed by congressional Republicans, insurers selling their plans on the state exchanges taking effect next year will have to segregate the premiums they collect for abortion coverage.

The World Bank (WB) in collaboration with some other international organisations will today launch the East African Community (EAC) medicine registration harmonisation (MRH) project in Arusha.
A press statement issued by the community yesterday said, the EAC's MRH project will promote harmonisation of medicine registration in the region, considered to be a key contributor to public health.
The harmionisation, it is said, will lead to rapid access to quality, safe and effective medicines for priority diseases.
Other organizsations which are taking part in the project are African Medicines Regulatory Harmonisation (AMRH), World Health Organisation (WHO), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, UK Department for International Development (DfID), and the Clinton Health Access Initiative.
The statement said, essential medicines save lives and improve health when they are available, affordable, of assured quality and used rationally.
However, lack of access to essential medicines remains one of the most serious global public health problems.
Africa's regions have similar health and technological challenges and relatively low levels of investment in health research, drug discovery and pharmaceutical development, compared to other continents, the statement said.
Countries in Africa are struggling to produce, procure and make safe and essential medicines available to their populations.
This is mainly because of limited budgets, lack of adequate infrastructure and human resources and a range of regulatory barriers including weak and/or absent medicines legislation and legal frameworks.
According to the New Economic Programme for African Development (Nepad) Agency CEO Dr Ibrahim Assane Mayaki, "The regulation of medicines and harmonisation of technical standards and legislative frameworks have emerged as important components of the regional economic integration efforts".
The launch of the EAC's MRH project marks the beginning of the implementation phase of the AMRH Programme across the continent.
After a series of rigorous consultations with RECS, NMRAs and industry, AMRH partners have successfully finalised and secured funding for the EAC MRH Project.
In addition, the statement said, proposals for Southern African Development Community (Sadc) and Economic Community for West African States (Ecowas) regions are at an advanced stage for donor consideration.

'Rival' (Japanese: ライバル Raibaru) is a Trainer Class in the game that battles the player often throughout the main storyline. A rival in the game can be a childhood friend of the player, a bully or a hater to the player. When the player is choosing a starter Pokémon, the rival will have a type that is the opposite of the player Pokémon, an example: The player chooses a grass-type Pokémon, then the player rival will pick up a fire-type Pokémon. In exception of Dawn or Lucas, especially Bianca, who all choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage. Wally starts out with a Ralts, rather than a conventional Hoenn starter. Also, the owner of a certain game can give a rival a name mostly at the start of the video game or later in the story line. The names of the rivals that cannot be named are: Wally, Brendan, May, Cheren and Bianca.
In the game
Having a rival as the player's opponent has been introduced since Generation I with the known and popular rivalry between Blue/GreenJP and Red. A rival mostly appears in the main game series throughout the game and challenging the player in different Pokémon battles. Rivals mostly appears early in main game series, mostly been picking their starter Pokémon from a Professor in a different region. Their starter Pokémon is mostly the opposite type that the player has chosen, as example: The player choose Charmander, the rival will choose Squirtle, because water is stronger than Fire, but in exception of Bianca which chooses a weaker type than the starter. Most of the players rivals doesn't came to pick up a starter Pokémon, or have seen that they took a starter Pokémon alongside with the player. Silver as a example, stole the Pokémon from Professor Elm's laboratory. Mostly a rival has a deeper story line about their behaviour, most of the player rivals depends more on strength than strategy.
'Pseudo-rival' (Japanese: 擬似ライバル Giji Raibaru) is mostly one of the main protagonists from the main Pokémon video game series. They are more known as a helping hand in bringing you useful information, giving you useful items and helping you during tag battles. They are seen as rivals in being more in a competitive manner in completing the Pokédex instead depending strength through Pokémon battles.
In the anime
In the anime series, many rivals for the main characters has been appeared. The rivals in the anime can be compared to that in the video games. The main characters also learns a lot from their rivals during their competitions. Known rivalries in the series:
- Known is that Ash has a lot of rivals during his travellings, but his major rivals were: Gary Oak, Morrison, Paul, Barry, Trip and Bianca. Ash have also a lot of minor rivals in the anime series which they are mostly more in collecting badges and holding friendly competitions which some of them achieved in battling with each other in the Pokémon League.
- Jessie and James both have a rivalry with Butch and Cassidy. Jessie has a major rivalry with Cassidy since childhood, the rivalry between James and Butch can be because of the times that they were assign to capture a red Snorlax.
- May has a rivalry with her fellow co-ordinators Drew, Harley, and Solidad.

- Meowth has a rivalry with Giovanni's Persian due that the Persian is Giovanni's favourite something that Meowth dislike because according to his stories he was the former favourite of Giovanni.

Climbing Accident: Fifty-Footer Rips Three Screws
On November 21, two climbers from Canmore, Alberta, made the long approach to Planter's Valley, a canyon on the south side of Devil's Gap in Canada's Ghost River Wilderness Area. They started up the first pitch of the 330-foot Weathering Heights (WI 4). The leader, Simon, encountered extremely brittle ice and very cold conditions—minus-14 degrees—but managed to climb 100 feet and establish a belay consisting of a 20-cm and a 16-cm screw clipped to a self-equalizing sling. After belaying his partner to the screw station, Simon climbed six feet higher, placed a 16-cm screw and clipped it with a load-limiting draw, then placed a second 16-cm screw roughly six feet above that.
He described what happened then in a post on gravsports-ice.com: "After placing the second screw, I was hit with an overwhelming, nauseating case of the barfies and took on the screw. I sat there for at least three to four minutes, warming my hands up, and chatting with my belayer. I was also assessing the ice for a possible Abalakov because the conditions were so cold that it was time to retreat. Next thing I knew, I was falling backwards through the air." Both screws pulled, then the 16-cm belay screw also ripped. Simon stopped about 30 feet below the belay. "We were climbing on two 8-mm ropes, and one rope was shredded down to the core, three core strands of six cut." The other rope was undamaged.
Despite a long fall by the leader that pulled out all the screws but one, both men escaped with minor injuries. Simon gashed his elbow and required stitches. It was later surmised that the rope was cut during the fall by a sharp crampon point.
"We were very lucky," Simon wrote. "{I'm} going to sacrifice a goat to the climbing gods soon."
Seven days later, Calgary climbers Grant and Ryan hiked into Weathering Heights to climb the route, retrieve gear and provide photos and analysis
of the accident. Once again the ice was brittle. The temperature hovered around minus-10 degrees. In his subsequent post to gravsports-ice.com Grant
described "a shell over either older ice or chandelier, which seemed to be widespread." He had trouble getting good screws at the belay and decided
to incorporate V-threads, but had a hard time finding good ice for them. After he brought up Ryan, the two bailed and posted up the photos.
Will Gadd, the administrator of the gravsports forum, looked at the pictures and commented: "That ice is classic 'white' ice that forms fast when the temperature really drops. This is the sort of ice that I've bounce-tested screws out of while on a rap. Usually when screws go in, the cores fall apart in almost rice-like bits rather than come out as ice. Even if the placements weren't in shell ice, which it looks like they were, this ice is really, really weak, almost 'snow ice' but still quite hard to the touch."
Ice morphs and changes constantly. Dig and clear until you find solid, uniform base ice. Most people don't clear enough ice. As Gadd wrote toward the end of the Weathering Heights thread: "If a screw isn't in good, well-supported ice, tip to hanger, then it's not a good screw."
Other tips for placing good screws:
Place screws waist high so you don't have to reach up and get pumped.
If you feel like you need a screw, place one. Don't keep running it out!
Note any sudden change in resistance as the screw goes in. A placement that gets noticeably easier to twist has hit an air pocket or bad ice. Consider it suspect.
Check the ice core. Is it solid?
August 28, 2010, I was climbing a technically easy multi-pitch trad route near Banff, Canada, with my partner, when I fell while leading. I don't know
what caused the fall—perhaps a hold broke, perhaps I simply slipped; that moment has been wiped from my memory—but I plunged about 20 meters,
hitting various hard obstacles on the way down and losing consciousness in the process.
When I awoke, my partner phoned to arrange a helicopter rescue, and I've been recovering since, first in hospital and now at home. While I sustained fairly severe injuries, I'm extremely fortunate that those comprised only scrapes, bruises, and broken bones, all of which will heal in due course.
My helmet is another story. It fared far worse than I did, as it absorbed blows from one or more of those hard objects I encountered on my sudden descent."
—Jonathan Lytton

Comments On Jun 12, 2015:This is a solid, high quality back pack. It's long and not very deep, perfect for a laptop or tablet and a couple small items. I used it for a year but needed something deeper so I got a rear rack and bag for my DRZ400SM.

Comments On Jul 15, 2014:Not the biggest backpack but perfect for carrying lunch/extra clothes whatever you need for a ride. I always take a towel, a few waters, and my gps with plenty of extra space. I use both on my enduro around town and on the trails with my quad and other bike. Could easily carry a laptop or something if you needed to. Best part of the pack is the straps. Others dig into your shoulders or are uncomfortable and these are great. Don't get too hot wearing it either. I like it so much I have considered buying another just so one is clean when I'm riding around town and the other I can leave dusty/dirty without getting my normal clothes messy. I would not hesitate to recommend this backpack to anyone.

SANDUSKY -- The Sandusky Register has covered news for well over 100 years. But next to yesterday's headlines is this calendar and the models are uncovered, as in naked.
They say they are "not sexy, we're sensual."
Channel 3's John Anderson brings you the story.
Patty is Ms. April. She has 17 grandchildren but her modeling career was just born.
Peg is a 77-year-old artist. She paints flowers but models nude. She said doing the calendar "was fun. The photographer was so great and they made it easy and what needed to be tucked, they tucked."
These ladies in their birthday suits are between the ages of 60 and 100 and proceeds from the calendar called Smiles will help other seniors cover dental costs not covered by Medicare.
And these models say they'll take it all off again for a good cause.
But next time, Peg would like to trade in the flowers for firefighters. She said they were talking the other day "and if they do a calendar with those young firemen, count me in."
The calendars are being sold by the organization Serving Our Seniors for $10 a piece.
They have almost sold out of the first printing so a second order was placed. They hope to sell 4,000 of the calendars.

Our goal is to partner with local organizations to provide research support that aids the organization.
It is our observation that many questions, both within organizations and within the communities they serve, can best be understood with social scientific research, and we would like to connect both our skills and resources to your group.
If you are interested in discussing how the faculty and students connected to the Place Studies Program can partner with you for research, please be in contact. For these projects we have found that having a conversation very early on in which we explicitly outline the responsibilities, remunerations and timeline of the project make them much more likely to both be successful and low in stress.
The rich traditions of the humanities have been thinking about and depicting the human-nature relationship in explicit and implicit ways, always.
By making these connections explicit, by allowing questions of environmental ethics to enter into our classroom conversations and our research and by supporting the use of the arts to facilitate community conversations about resource usage, we believe that the environmental humanities significantly contribute to helping us understand how to effectively live on the earth.
Our research ethos is one which uncovers the hidden, be it historically, ethnically or technologically, and places it in front of the campus community through books, presentations and performances.
Collaboration is difficult.
The staff of PSI has had experience collaborating with fellow academics, community members and students at multiple universities and on multiple projects. It sounds simple, and a bit trite even, but effective collaboration requires individuals to mutually respect each other as professionals and for members of the research team to see the value of the project beyond enlightened self-interest.
To that end, I am interested in providing support for and partnership in research projects across all of the focus areas mentioned on this website. If you look at our Opportunities to Get Involved and Events & News pages, you will be able to more clearly see the types of projects we have helped with in the past, but we encourage you to be in no way beholden to these models or ideas.
We are actively trying to create a space on the Bucknell campus where faculty and students can be supported in doing creative and collaborative projects that connect students to the strengths and weaknesses inherent in a place.
The following links are virtual breadcrumbs marking the 27 most recent pages you have visited in Bucknell.edu. If you want to remember a specific page forever click the pin in the top right corner and we will be sure not to replace it. Close this message.

"Sufferin' Succotash!" was the catch phrase of Sylvester the Cat, a Looney Tunes character from my childhood. Actually, he lisped "Thufferin Thuccotash" often in his quest to capture "Tweety Bird" of "I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat" fame. So what does that have to do with Azalea Inn and Gardens? Well, our Garden's bounty is overflowing with cherry tomatoes, green peppers, yellow and purple bush beans, eggplant and okra right now and the garden pickings were the inspiration for our take on a Deep South favorite – Succotash.
Jake has always loved the okra and tomatoes served at Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House and he cajoled me into doing "something" with all the tomatoes and the just perfect sized okra. He said he would take it any way I fixed it and I am partial to the combination of baby limas, corn, tomatoes and okra, so… why not add whatever the garden was offering up?
Throwing a few slices of bacon into the skillet to render, I set about chopping a medium onion and two cloves of garlic, seeded and chopped a small jalapeno, then ran down to the garden to pick okra, tomatoes, green peppers, and eggplant to throw into the mix. While the onion softened in the bacon rendering, I sliced the okra, chopped one green pepper and one tiny eggplant to add to the cornucopia of veggies to come and ran back down to the garden to finish off the crop of beans. Once the onions were softened and the garlic lightly browned, I threw in a bag of frozen corn (eh-gads, its okay!), and bag of frozen baby limas. Next came the cherry tomatoes, okra, green pepper and eggplant, threw in the bush beans snipped and cut in half and gently cooked the conconction for about 7 to 10 minutes. Taste tests indicated a need for salt and pepper and with a small chiffonade of basil sprinkled on top, we were ready to eat! Served along side a simply grilled rib-eye steak it was easy to get Jake to commit to another 9 years with me!
I grew up in a large family, so it was no surprise that I had leftovers – lots of leftovers. This morning I added a bit of raspberry wine vinegar to the succotash and with Jake's tastebuds declaring it a winner have incorporated it into tonight's appetizers which our guests will enjoy – served cold on chips – a Salsa Succotash.
Azalea Inn and Gardens takes the locavore route to all things served at the inn – join us this summer for a taste of home-grown cantaloupe and Galia melons, pickled cucumbers, tomatoes served a dozen ways and the refreshing courtyard pool with waterfall creating a perfect respite in the warmth of a Savannah summer. Book online or call us at 800-582-3823 today to reserve your spot at our "farm table" in historic Savannah, Georgia's best bed and breakfast!
