Four Brothers Product Details
Four men come together to find out how and why the woman who raised them was killed in this hard-edged urban drama from director John Singleton. Short-tempered Bobby (Mark Wahlberg), struggling musician Jack (Garrett Hedlund), streetwise Angel (Tyrese Gibson), and hard-working Jeremiah (Andre Benjamin) are four guys who don't appear to have much in common, in terms of either race or temperament.
However, these men have one very important bond -- all four were adopted and raised by the same woman (Fionnula Flanagan), and they all love her as a mother, and respect one another as brothers. When their mother is killed during a robbery at a grocery store, the four brothers come together for the funeral, but when they don't get straight answers about what happened to her, they begin looking into the crime themselves. The deeper they dig into the case, the more the brothers begin to suspect that the shooting wasn't an accident, and that powerful and unexpected forces were involved.

Fair Trade certification assures that Fair Trade cocoa producers are regularly audited against strict labor standards.
You can enjoy chocolate that makes you feel as good as it tastes! Cocoa farmers are often forced to sell their harvest to middlemen who rig scales or misrepresent prices, and media reports of child slavery show the stark contrast between the delicious treat and the difficult conditions of the people who produce it. Fair Trade certification ensures that farmers receive a fair price, allows farmers to invest in techniques that bring out the flavors of the region, and strictly prohibits slave and child labor.

In 1965, 50 small coffee producers from Junín, Peru came together to form the Cooperativa Agraria Cafetelera Satipo Ltda (CAC Satipo). Before the formal organization, producers relied on intermediaries for sales, who paid extremely low prices for...

Bald Beaver Gets To Eat A Big Banana
Fruits are good for you; they are healthy and help you to balance out your body with all their vitamins and minerals. But you can do a lot more with them than just eat. Our girl Jess was keen on proving that when she was at our studio the other day. This active girl always carries a piece of fruit in her handbag and that day she brought a big banana with her. She started eating it in her five minute break and when we returned to wrap up the session she asked whether or not we could do something with her and her food of choice. Off course we said yes, since we're always in for something new and there she went: stuffing that big banana up her bald beaver. We couldn't even turn on the camera, she was just too quick. So we had to ask her politely to take it our of her shaved cunt and start all over again. Which she did with pleasure. Check out the rest of the shoot after the click.

High Heeled Slut Spreads Her Clean Shaven Pussy
Let me introduce you to Carla. You gotta love her, because she is both classy and rebel. I thought the sample pictures above does her good, since it shows both her worlds. Her somewhat traditional high heels maker her look rigid, sexy and a bit conservative. And when you take a closer look you can see her tattoos and her piercings. That's right: this hot chick has a nipple and a clit ring. I'm a real sucker for those, especially when that little piece of surgeon steel is hanging on a completely waxed cunt. And that's the case with Carla. She keeps a clean shaven pussy at all times.

Fisting Shaved Cunts
Looking at a girl who's shoving a hand up her muff is a great way to waste a bit of time. And when those hands are disappearing in shaved cunts, it's even more pleasurable. Take for instance the chick in the clip. It's not really a professional photo shoot, I just happened to have my camera with me when I ran in to her at a party. We started talking and really got in to each other, so she took me to her studio down town. We had a great night and I must say she was a really great girl: nice tits, pierced smooth pussy and a pretty face. When I walked in the bathroom the morning after she was in the shower, playing with the shower head. I asked her if I could snap some photographs and she didn't mind. She even started goofing around for me, resulting in this great picture. I call it "Fisting Shaved Cunts". A perfect fit.

Arty Farty Shaved Cunt
Nothing beats the view of a nice shaved cunt with a pair of beautiful perky tits on top. This chick certainly is very proud of her shaved snatch and she wants nothing more than to share it with the world. That's why she knocked at my door one day and practically begged me to shoot her photos and put them online. She didn't even want money for them. Fine by me, I grabbed my camera, she threw off the little clothing she was wearing and there we went. I have to admit it's a very pretty girl, so I didn't really mind. I love those bald beavers and I know you do too. Enjoy the show!

Stunning Redhead With Perfect Bald Beaver
I got one word and three letters to describe this smoking hot babe: wow! That's the one word that pops in to my head when I see her. Carly is her name and teasing is her game. She is well aware of her assets and she is certainly not afraid of using them for or against you. Her brilliant red hairs are simply astonishing, much like the rest of her body. Her face is one to die for and you can swim for days in those deep blue eyes. We got the luck to see her without a single piece of clothing and she is revealing her perfectly shaped titties just for us. And would you check that bald beaver? Man, I bet she has one of those permanent waxes or so, because that is some smooth skin down there. Click through for access to all of her images.

Pretty Blonde Reveals Her Hairless Pussy
I politely invite you to click the sample and check out this hot babe's complete image gallery. She is such a stunner, you won't believe it. I just quickly grabbed a small image, but only the real big once do her justice. Her hairless pussy is so silky and smooth… I've never ever seen such a perfect clit. It is anatomically perfect and the rest of her body isn't too bad either. He lovely small titties fit her body perfectly. Her great smile is one to die for and I would do a lot for a night with her. Too bad she's all for the ladies, but that is off course opening a bit more perspectives. I asked her to do a girl on girl video and she agreed. We didn't shoot it yet, but keep an eye open for it to appear. It won't take that long anymore and it's going to rock your world.

Commissioner Corner Message Board
Indepth CBA simulation dynasty league
the idea behind NBA Front Office is to mimic the NBA as much as possible. All rules of the CBA apply unless specified otherwise. Teams using 8 players in their rotation score in a H2H points-based weekly format, with a shortened Regular Season and early Playoffs to eliminate real-life tanking/resting effects. Apart from standard Fantrax settings there is some help for defenders: rewarding +/- and minutes, penalizing missed shots. Finally, free agents are approached with a single secret bid, and an original formula takes into account the players' performance, age, and environment when determining how much money they expect in order to accept Rookie Scale Extensions, Veteran Extensions, and Player Options. We kick off in June, with the exact real-life situation, just in time for the draft and free agency.
You can sign up here:
Enjoy the Playoffs,

Blazers (with Anthony Davis!), Magic (with Jabari!), and Pistons (with Jameer Nelson!) remain available. Come July 1, our two agencies expect to be flooded with contract offers from desperate GM's, so if interested, please try to sign up on ProFSL ASAP.

Last chance to get on board before the tip-off!
Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks both need new GM's.
Only the Magic still available, and watch out for the craziness when the Moratorium ends tomorrow!
With the trade deadline fast approaching, Nuggets, Pistons, Rockets, and Magic all looking for a GM to make their present and/or future brighter!
Still looking for new owners!
As the new season nears, Celtics, Suns, Pistons, and Nuggets are for grabs!
Charlotte Hornets and LA Clippers available!
The Boston Celtics are now available. You might have heard of them!
Live Ring Ceremony & Draft Lottery video conference scheduled for this coming Saturday :)
Still looking for new GM's! Anybody?
It's been a while, so let me give you an update:
The league is going strong, all new additions panning out nicely: the hard cap and repeater taxes are already influencing everyone's strategies etc. Also, you can really smell the long-term vibe about this project: pretty much all 30 GM's have been very active over the last few months!
That being said, at present at least OKC, Phoenix, and the Clips are looking for an Assistant GM with a solid chance of becoming the main man after this season is over. (Of course we'll still hold the usual competition once the GM job becomes available, but "I'm the current AGM of the team" is an argument hard to trump!)
In other news, this spring we're introducing another unique aspect. The players' free will - thus far simulated by a special formula - is going to be replaced with the human factor! Enter our army of greedy Agents! They are a completely separate bunch and compete between themselves to top the leaderboard, while seamlessly representing the players' best interest when negotiating with the teams.
Charlotte Bobcats is available!

Panel Discussion: Middle East advertising held back by lack of transparency, accountability
Facebook MENA, Nielsen, OMD, Flip Media, Arabian Radio Network and Motivate Publishing voice the advertising industry's challenges and strategies...
September 12, 2012 12:51 by Muhammad Aldalou
As Mark Zuckerberg detects hints of criticism and sniping remarks at his first public appearance since the company's IPO, he confidently announces that the team is working on some "killer stuff" in the mobile segment. Was he right?
Mobile advertising, digital advertising or even good old-fashioned print advertising, particularly as the Middle East experiences incredible economic recovery, is now in under the microscope lens. The 'we're in recession' excuse that many media buyers, advertisers and digital platforms have grown accustomed to falling back on since the financial crisis plagued the world's industries is now running thin. On the other hand, brainstorming for new ideas, steps forward and strategies of integration (rather than rivalry) are currently in session.
As the heads of 'content mediums', media buyers and social platforms gather to discuss the advertising trends in the Middle East and how the future could pan out for the industry, Mamoon Sbeih, Managing Director, APCO – Arab Region talks about the crumbling effects of the recession but highlights its silver lining of brands and advertisers wisely deciding to act more intelligently, expect nothing but the most accurate and efficient results and be more attentive. Kipp only wonders why they weren't doing that earlier, though.
Nevertheless, what Jonathin Labin (Facebook MENA), Joe Marritt (Motivate Publishing), Yousseff Toqan (Flip Media), Sarah Messer (Nielsen), Steve smith (Arabian Radio Network) and Nadim Samara of OMD Dubai seem to have in common, besides a slightly more positive perspective on the penetration of certain segments of the industry, is the realization that posing the correct questions will lead you to the correct solutions and that no matter how much confidence you may have in your chosen medium of content channeling, integration with other mediums is of the utmost importance.
Comme ci comme ca? Non! Tres Bien!
While Kipp didn't expect to hear words of failure and let downs, we did however, expect to hear of the challenges that each medium has and is currently facing within the advertising industry. We heard plenty but not nearly enough to truly represent the hindrances that stand in the way of this region's boom. Let's delve right in.
Steve Smith highlighted the (what he described as) phenomenal numbers that radio stations are attracting. Mind you, he spoke about listening from a non-traditional platform such as applications and online streaming, subsequently displaying the importance of integrating with other mediums that, in essence, are technically competing for advertisers' money.
Jonathan Labin took Facebook's name with pride as he claimed that the social giant's advertising success is owed to their dual strategy approach that combines the statistical power of allowing brands to have accurate targeting and an enormous reach and the philosophical influence that relates back to hundreds of years worth of word-of-mouth marketing. "Friends trust their friends while less than 50 percent say that they trust advertising," Labin says. Bringing back that relationship that is lost on many other advertising mediums is what Facebook is all about.

Looking internationally there have been positive developments out of China. China will dramatically increase the amount of renewable energy, especially solar energy, as it moves to replace 50 million tons of coal equivalent by 2015. This is a positive move for First Solar, which already has a factory in China and prior contracts in the region.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
It is positive, as it keeps their panels at home and less to be dumped on the open market!

Great Park crowd gives 2012 early send-off
The new year was brought in family-style with dancing, games and pyrotechnics at the Orange County Great Park in Irvine on Monday.
Kid-friendly games, crafts and performers came to the Great Park as part of the Great Night event that gave families an alternative to staying up until midnight to celebrate 2013.
The night culminated with a 9 p.m. East Coast countdown to the new year that allowed people to be home by 10 p.m.
"It's a nice couple of hours to enjoy with the family", said Mike Sauter as his daughter rode the merry-go-round. "And we'll be home in time to celebrate at midnight."
The local event featured music from Southland Mega Groove, food trucks, and a disco lounge inside one of the former Marine hangars.
It was the second year the Great Park has hosted a New Year's Eve celebration for families beginning at 5 p.m. but lasting late enough to celebrate the start of 2013 with the Eastern time zone.
Officials said the 2011 event attracted about 10,000 people.

Obamas Historic Visit To Cuba is the Right Policy
Recorded: Wednesday, March 23, 2016
Sr. Fellow Ivan Eland is interviewed on the Larry Conners USA radio show on KTRS. Eland says the 50 years of trying to get rid of the Castro brothers has not worked and its time for a different policy. Now that the Cold War is over, says Eland, Cubas future may be democracy, but not all countries would make good democracies. Cuba must open its economy in some way, he says, because the country needs capital.

Stop Demonizing China: Senior Fellow Ivan Eland on KTRS Radios Larry Conners USA Program
Recorded: Tuesday, February 2, 2016
Presidential candidate Donald Trump and the New York Times have recently demonized China for its relationship with Iran, but Sr. Fellow Ivan Eland cautions against such rhetoric. Economically, China is not much of a threat, says Eland. Chinas thirst for oil might actually help drive down the price of oil. Criticizing China for human rights violations usually leads to a backlash that harms dissidents. Chinas territorial claims in the South China Seas are too far away for the US to be concerned about, says Eland. China is often seen as the evil enemy some politicians in the US need to appear as if they are strong candidates.

No. 716,409, filed Aug. 23, 1976 now abandoned entitled "A Luminaire Using A Multilayer Interference Mirror" which has the same assignee and inventors common to the present disclosure. This patent application corresponds and is related to commonly assigned and concurrently filed copending patent application disclosure entitled "A Luminaire Having A Configured Interference Mirror And Reflector", U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 821,044 for inventors T. Dey, J. Howe and E. Letter, which application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 716,415 filed Aug. 23, 1976 now abandoned entitled "Task Area Luminaire" and U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 786,710 filed Apr. 11, 1977 now abandoned entitled "A Luminaire Having A Configured Interference Mirror And Reflector".
During the past few years the world has become increasingly aware that the amount of available energy is being rapidly depleted. To make better use of the remaining available energy, all types of devices are being improved with a view toward conserving energy. One such device that has lagged in substantial improvement is the luminaire used in the lighting industry. Normally, these luminaires are used to illuminate general interior and exterior areas, such as, rooms, hallways or stairs in buildings, parking lots and tennis courts. The light emitted from these luminaires is normally designed to eliminate glare by simply controlling the distribution of light or polarizing the light within the general areas. It is through the control of the light that better illumination is obtained with less energy use.
The most common of these luminaires simply distributes the light within a general area and makes use of a reflector having an aperture, a fluorescent light source and a lighting panel disposed across the aperture. The light arriving at the aperture, either directly from the light source or reflected from the reflector, is generally diffused across the lighting panel from a multiplicity of directions. The lighting panel normally has a surface with a grouping of lenticular elements. These elements are designed to reflect the undesired light back into the luminaire and to refract the desired light into a distribution pattern. When the luminaire illuminates a room, the industry has found the most preferred distribution to be in the form of what is known in the art as a "batwing" lighting pattern. When the light emitted from the luminaire is polarized light, the lighting panel may be constructed from birefringent or multilayered polarizers, with the light having improper orientation being reflected back into the luminaire and the light having proper orientation passing into the illumination area.
The present invention involves a luminaire embodying a reflector, a light source element and a multilayer interference mirror element. The light source element is disposed within the reflector and is selected to emit monochromatic light. The multilayer interference mirror is disposed on a supporting substrate in a path of the light arriving from a multiplicity of directions and is designed for angularly selecting a portion of light for passage into a control range.
Objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following description and upon reference to the drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like elements in the various views:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a luminaire embodying the invention.
FIG. 2 is an elevational view of the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a partially diagrammatic and partially sectional view of a portion of the embodiment of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is an exemplary radial light distribution pattern according to the principles of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is another exemplary radial light distribution pattern according to the principles of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is still another exemplary radial light distribution pattern according to the principles of the present invention.
As best seen in FIG. 1, luminaire 10 has a reflector 12, a light source 14 and a lighting panel 16. Reflector 12 is constructed to reflect light emitted from light source 14 across an aperture 18. Preferably, reflector 12 is constructed to provide diffused light at aperture 18, as illustrated in FIG. 2. This diffused light may be obtained by providing reflector 12 with a stippled specular reflecting surface or with a matte non-specular reflecting surface.
Light source 14 is selected to fit within reflector 12 and emits monochromatic light in a multiplicity of directions across aperture 18. Monochromatic light is defined as that light of which the luminous flux falls within a bandwidth of 40 nanometers. Some examples of light sources providing such monochromatic light are low pressure sodium, light emitting diodes, neon and lasers. Preferably, low pressure sodium lamps are used, such as that designated by the IES Lighting Handbook as S0X 180W.
Lighting panel 16 is constructed to cover aperture 18 of reflector 12. At least one side of panel 16 is provided with a smooth surface to permit a multilayer interference mirror 20 to be deposited thereon. The other side of panel 16 may be constructed with a smooth surface, with a surface to diffuse the light or with a surface to refract the light. When desired, a multilayer interference mirror may be deposited on both sides of panel 16. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, both sides of panel 16 are smooth with a surface having multilayer interference mirror 20 deposited thereon facing the incoming light rays.
Multilayer interference mirror 20 is a multiple layered film stack that selectively reflects and transmits light as a function of wavelength and angle of incidence by the phenomena of optical interference. Such mirrors are well known in the optical thin film art and their design is determined by the desired amount of reflection and transmission of light. The reflection and transmission is dependent on the wavelength of light passing through the multilayer, the thickness and index of refraction of the materials used in each layer of the multilayer stack and the angle of incidence of the incoming light rays. Formulas that may be used in designing multilayer interference mirror 20 are well known in the optical thin film art and have been set forth by H. A. Macleod in Thin-Film Optical Filters, American Elsevier Publishing Company, Inc., 1969.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, luminaire 10 is designed to distribute light within a control range between θ1 and θ2 where θ generally represents the angle from a line of reference normal to the luminaire panel to the light in the control range. More specifically, the light is distributed in a "batwing" lighting pattern centered substantially between 25� and 65� from and symmetrically disposed about a perpendicular to the smooth surface of panel 16. Even higher angles approaching 90�, may be obtained if desired. Higher angles may result in possible losses of efficiency. To obtain this desired result, multilayer interference mirror 20 is constructed to angularly select a portion of the light arriving from a multiplicity of directions for passage into the control range. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the light arrives at aperture 18 from a multiplicity of directions resulting from the direct emission of light from source 14 and the reflection of light from reflector 12.
Since the light source 14 is selected to provide monochromatic light and, for design purposes, the angle of incidence of the incoming light rays is equal to the angle of incidence of the outgoing light rays, then the thickness and index of refraction of the materials in each layer of the multilayer stack are the only determinations which must be made. Once the thickness and materials used in each layer of the multilayer stack are selected, mirror 20 can be disposed on a suitable substrate such as panel 16. The light permitted to pass will be distributed within the control range, while the light reflected from mirror 20 will in turn be reflected from reflector 12 for diffusion over mirror 20.
Examples of film designs which may be used to accomplish this distribution of light into such desired control ranges include, but are not limited to the following examples:
______________________________________Layer Index θ = 30� θ = 40� θ = 60�______________________________________Glass Side1 H .128 .130 .1342 L .268 .283 .3213 H .256 .260 .2694 L .268 .283 .3215 H .512 .520 .5386 L .268 .283 .3217 H .256 .260 .2698 L .268 .283 .3219 H .128 .130 .134Air Side______________________________________
In these examples for patterns substantially centered about 30�, 40� and 60�, the unit of measure used is optical thickness measured in wavelengths of sodium light at 0.589μ; H refers to a high index layer of the multilayer interference mirror, in these examples of zinc sulfide (ZnS) having an index of refraction of 2.35 at 0.589μ; and L refers to a low index layer of the multilayer interference mirror, in this example magnesium fluoride (MgF2) having an index of refraction of 1.38 at 0.589μ.
The distribution pattern of light from the luminaire is primarily determined by three factors. A first and very significant light controlling factor is a film design characterized by a batwing transmittance function. This pattern is affected by the second factor, the natural cosine distribution characteristic of the diffuse reflector. This contributes to a reduction of high-angle direct glare. Finally, the reflector shape can be such to affect the distribution of light to a varied extent of influence. In this invention, for reasons of choice and unlike some luminaires, a diffuse reflector is used and therefore the shape of the reflector is not critical and has little effect upon the distribution of light. In other designs the reflector shape can have a great influence on the light distribution. The latitude in this design parameter for this invention allows a variety of reflector shapes to perform effectively. Control of light is principally controlled by the film design.
FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, for distribution centered about θ at 30�, 40� and 60� from an axis normal to the task surface, illustrate these control conditions as calculated. The dotted line in each figure indicates the transmittance function. The solid line in each figure corresponds to luminaire output as measured in candlepower and results from the cosine modification characteristic of the diffuse reflector. The transmittance (T), as illustrated in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 is defined by the fraction of light transmitted by the film.
The following lists illustrate, for example, values illustrated by FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, respectively:

In these above (a), (b) and (c) lists, t(θ) is the transmittance function represented by the broken line and t(θ) cos (θ) normalized corresponds to the solid line.
These exemplary types of designs are commonly referred to as bandpass filters. The shape of the transmittance function of the filter can be altered by changing the number of layers. It will be appreciated that many other designs can be used. For example, a low and high pass-edge filter design may be used in combination. Such design alternatives are well known in the art, and are described in the before mentioned book entitled Thin-Film Optical Filters" by Macleod. Alternative materials for the films such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) are also well known in the art and described in texts such as Macleod's.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that novel and advantageous provision has been made for carrying out the desired end. However, attention is again directed to the fact that variations may be made in the example method and apparatus disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined in the appended claims.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Jones (hip) is available off the bench Saturday against West Ham.
DeAndre Yedlin will get another start ahead of Jones, though it's unclear if it's because the latter is just returning from injury or if the former has beat him out for the spot.

Billy Jones: Past News Updates ( ▲ View most recent update )
February 13, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Jones (hip) was not in the 18-man squad to face Manchester United on Saturday.
Jones was highly doubtful for the match, which allowed DeAndre Yedlin to move into the starting XI.
February 11, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Jones is questionable to play Saturday against Manchester United because of a hip injury, the Sunderland Echo reports.
The Black Cats' defense is hardly a stout and deep unit, so the absence of Jones will surely be a hit. If he's unable to play, DeAndre Yedlin, who is on loan from Spurs, could start in his place.
February 3, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Jones hit the woodwork on two shots (one on target), two crosses and a yellow card in the 1-0 defeat to Man City on Tuesday.
Jones could've had a whole lot more out of this game but the post and the referee denied him a good fantasy outing. He's having a decent season for as far as a Black Cat defender can have a good season this year. He scored once and assisted on another occasion already this campaign but porous Sunderland defense (47 goals allowed) and 15 losses are dragging his fantasy value down. Another big issue is his discipline - he's now with eight cautions.
December 3, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Jones is eligible to face Arsenal on Saturday after a one-match yellow card accumulation ban.
DeAndre Yedlin got the start last weekend against Stoke, but Jones could very well slot back into the first XI upon his return. That being said, it's a very tough matchup, even with the Gunners a bit depleted by injuries.
November 24, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Jones is suspended for one game for yellow card accumulation and will miss the clash with Stoke on Saturday.
A new tactics rejuvenated the Black Cats and Jones was a key cog in that success. Now new man Sam Allerdyce would have to find a replacement for him and DeAndre Yedlin seems like one good option to fit in the right flank.
November 23, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Jones assisted on the go ahead goal in Monday's 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
Jones sent a through ball to Jermain Defoe to put in the back of the net in the 80th minute to give Sunderland the win. This was his first assist of the season for the defending midfielder, however he looks to attack and push forward and may create more chances for goals in future matches.
October 26, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Jones scored in the 65th minute of Sunderland's 3-0 win over Newcastle on Sunday.
Jones simply redirected an on-goal attempt from teammate Yann M'Vila to score for the first time in a Sunderland shirt Sunday. Similarly, Jones also secured his first clean sheet of the season on Sunday, making Sunderland's triumph over Newcastle even sweeter for the Englishman.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — In any language, the story of Mark McMorris has drama up the yin-yang and a Hollywood-happy ending.
But in snowboarder-speak, a newish and most engaging dialect of English, McMorris's triumph is sick.
He's the crazy Canadian snowboarder from the dead-flat Prairie plain who broke a rib two weeks before his sport's debut at the Sochi Olympics, made it to the final in the most difficult way imaginable, and finished up on the podium with a bronze medal — Canada's first of these Games, won in the first event on the first day of competition — around his neck.
He finished behind the irrepressible young American, Sage Kotsenburg, who won gold, and Norway's Staale Sandbech, who took the silver.
"I grew up with Mark and Staale," Kotsenburg gushed happily afterwards. "I've known them for the past six years."
Since all three are just 20 years old, that's almost a third of their lives.
"We've all become really good friends, we're not like enemies at all. We love each other; it's sick. We're really stoked to see each other. It's sick to be on the podium with them, everyone's really stoked for each other."
They were competing in snowboard slopestyle, which features difficult tricks, grabs of the board and jumps done over boxes, here even a Russian nesting doll — and that's before any of the big jumps, which another Canadian, Seb Toutant, who finished seventh, compares to stepping off a building.
The Olympic debut was held on another smashing bluebird (or couldn't-be-better) day in the mountains, and it had everything, including a fledgling judging controversy.
Kotsenburg won on his random stylish style, apparently — not to mention a 1620 Japan, which involves four-and-a-half rotations in the air, and a Holy Crail, a move he invented and named and which he had never before done in competition. (A crail is a grab.)
As he inimitably put it, "I just kind of do random stuff all the time. I don't, like, make a plan up. I had no idea I was going to do a 1620 in my run until, like, three minutes before I dropped. So that's kind of what I'm all about, just kind of being random."
But for a qualifying win last month for the Olympics, Kotsenburg hadn't won anything since he was 11.
McMorris, by contrast, is the top-ranked slopestyler on the World Snowboard Tour and a double gold medalist at the X Games. He would have come into the Olympics as the favourite, though as the athletes like to say, in slopestyle, anything can happen.
It was at the X Games just two weeks ago that the Regina, Sask., native broke the 11th rib in his back; another Canadian, Max Parrot, won that event.
There's little to be done for a broken rib; McMorris credited his medical team, and a lot of time in the pool, for keeping him mobile. That was the physical part and it was bad enough.
How much pain he was really in is his secret.
"If it was any other circumstances (but the Olympics), it may have hurt him quite a bit more," suggested his coach, Adam Burwell.
All McMorris cared about, he said, was getting medically cleared to compete.
"If there's anybody who could battle through it, it was him," Burwell said. "He's the fiercest competitor I've ever, ever met."
It was a dazzlingly bright day, and it may have been the sun, but Burwell — who is from Regina, too, and made the eight-hour trips to the mountains with McMorris — is very proud of him and appeared a little verklempt.
McMorris himself also lowballed the pain, only once wincing in memory. "Every time I did that last jump, arrrgh."
He failed to qualify directly for the final, meaning he had to compete twice on Saturday: once in the morning semis and again shortly afterwards. The riders get two runs or cracks at it every time out. Both in the semis and final, McMorris had to rely on his final run.
Asked how he felt about it all now, he said with a grin, "I don't know anymore."
"It was, truthfully, just the most insane roller coaster ever. Feeling confident from practice and going into my first run and always falling, and then doing it under pressure and landing, and then getting strange scores, then doing it again today. It was just ups, downs, ups, downs, and it ended on a high so I can only be thankful for that and hope that doesn't need to happen anymore."
In referencing the strange scores, McMorris wasn't alone. Slopestyle is so new that there appears near-unanimous agreement there's an issue with the judging — and that the judges may not properly appreciate the difficulty of some of the tricks.
Parrot and McMorris believed many riders, not just themselves, were scored too low, although they said so gracefully and without ever suggesting Kotsenburg didn't fully deserve his gold.
As McMorris put it, when asked if he thought he'd lost his medal after seeing Parrot's spectacular run: "Yeah, but the judging — you never know with these guys."
He said he was heading out of the competition area, sure he was done, when an official told him 'Wait, you don't know'."
Then Parrot's score flashed and McMorris's was good enough for bronze.
After their runs, the slopestylers lounged in the sun like big cats; they hugged and stuck out their tongues; serious athletes, except when they're not.
Mark McMorris is among the best of them, which is not bad for a boy from Regina, where the local valleys have all the altitude of a pair of skates, which is maybe why Saskatchewan has always produced hockey players by the bucketful and not so many tall-mountain leapers. It's pretty sick.

Comprehensive Course Guides
Comprehensive Course Guides
A Comprehensive Course Guide (CCG) is a document that informs students of the LS rules that will apply to them. A CCG can be attached to a course calendar or agenda and can cover some of the information that is usually listed in the syllabus. It ensures that all students across all campuses are given the same, accurate information.
Each instructor will receive a class set of Comprehensive Course Guides for each Learning Support class that s/he teaches. Each student should receive one of these documents that describes the Learning Support policies for the course. Please read it carefully and explain it to your students thoroughly. After you have explained it to your students, each student should sign the Signature Sheet to signify that he or she has received the policies for the course and understands them. If you need help with this procedure, please contact your Department Chair. Because of liability issues, it is extremely important that students be informed of these policies at the beginning of each semester.

Couture: Strikeforce will get plucked and absorbed
A semi-epically bearded Randy Couture appeared recently on MMA Uncensored, and discussed among other things a matter near to his heart - Strikeforce, where his son Ryan currently fights in the Lightweight division.
Couture was asked about the future of Strikeforce; his answer was not hopeful.
"I know the Showtime relationship with Zuffa has been rocky," explained Couture. "I know they hoped to renew that relationship and build that relationship, but they weren't able to pull that off. I think you're gonna see the Strikeforce guys absorbed and plucked like they did the WEC.
"So, then the question is, is Ryan gonna be one of those guys they want to keep, or is he gonna be one of those guys that gets cut loose? Where are we gonna go with him? The Showtime contract's up this year, so early next year, I think you'll see something happen."

In order to design distributed business applications or services, the common practice consists in setting up a multi-tier architecture on top of a relational database. Due to the recent evolution of the needs in terms of scalability and availability in cloud environments, the design of the data access layer got significantly more complicated because of the trade-off decisions between consistency, scalability and availability that have to be taken into account in accordance with the CAP theorem. An interesting compromise in this context consists in offering some flexibility at the consistency level, in order to allow multi-tier architectures to support partition tolerance flexibility while guaranteeing availability. This paper introduces a flexible data layer that guarantees availability and gives the ability to the developers to easily select the required execution context, by integrating eventually consistent storage with strongly consistent databases. A given query can either be executed in an eventually consistent but very scalable context or in a strongly consistent context with limited scalability. The benefits of the proposed framework are validated in a real-world use case.
