For Nikon shooters, there's a lot to like about the AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm ƒ/3.5-4.5G ED superwide zoom.
For Nikon shooters, there's a lot to like about the AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm ƒ/3.5-4.5G ED superwide zoom. Designed for DX-format SLRs, the lens provides focal lengths equivalent to 15-36mm on a 35mm camera. It also can be used on full-frame Nikon D-SLRs, which will automatically crop to the DX format when it's attached. Besides the ultrawide views and great image quality, features include a Silent Wave Motor for quick, quiet autofocusing on all Nikon D-SLRs (even those without a focusing motor), internal focusing for better balance and a nonrotating front element, which comes in handy when using orientation-sensitive filters like polarizers and graduates. Estimated Street Price: $899. Contact: Nikon, (800) NIKON-US, www.nikonusa.com.
The phrase "compact 17-inch printer" might seem a bit odd, since a device capable of making prints nearly a foot-and-a-half wide would have to be somewhat wider than that, but Epson's new Stylus Pro 3880 fits the description, measuring just 27x10x15 inches. The printer delivers gallery-quality color and black-and-white prints up to 17x22 inches, using eight wide-gamut UltraChrome K3 pigment inks and all-new AccuPhoto HD2 image technology. The 3880 automatically switches between Photo and Matte Black inks to suit glossy or matte media. Estimated Street Price: $1,295. Contact: Epson, (800) GO-EPSON, www.epson.com.
Take steady shots in the most challenging of environments using the Gitzo Ocean Traveler tripod. Featuring a ballhead and center casting made from solid stainless steel, the ballhead is designed to be disassembled by the user in the field for maintenance. Its compact, sturdy frame is designed to handle salty water, sand, mud and high humidity. Called Ocean-Lock, the new locks include special inserts at both ends that minimize the amount of water and debris that could get inside the tubes and locking mechanisms. The Traveler is ideal for use with lenses up to 200mm. It features all of Gitzo's most advanced features such as 6X tubing, a rapid and reversible center column and a retractable hook. Estimated Street Price: $1,125. Contact: Gitzo (Bogen Imaging), (201) 818-9500, www.bogenimaging.us.
If you're into black-and-white, Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro software provides all the tools you need to get great monochrome images from your original color ones. Patented U Point-powered Control Points make it easy to selectively control tonality and contrast with no need for selections or layers, while new technology greatly speeds up rendering. Film emulation, a state-of-the-art grain engine and advanced stylizing add versatility, while advanced imaging algorithms optimize results. Estimated Street Price: $199. Contact: Nik Software, (888) 284-4085, www.niksoftware.com.
Triggering your camera from a distance allows you to get shots from positions and angles that would not otherwise be possible. For Canon and Nikon shooters, the DSLR Camera Remote app from onOne Software makes this kind of photography possible using an iPhone or iPod Touch. Once the camera is connected to a WiFi-enabled computer, you can fire the shutter, review images, control camera settings and even get a live viewfinder preview. The app comes in two versions: Lite and Professional (most features are in the pro version only). Estimated Street Price: $2 (Lite); $20 (Professional). Contact: onOne Software, (888) 968-1468, www.ononesoftware.com.
Using a Wacom pen tablet to edit images gives you a more intuitive way of working with photos. The Intuos4 supports an expanded 2,048 levels of pen sensitivity, starting with a single gram. This means you can lighten or darken areas of an image with greater precision. The tablet features customizable ExpressKeys that have OLED-illuminated displays, allowing you to see what each key currently is set to. A pressure-sensitive Touch Ring controls up to four different functions such as scrolling, zooming, brush size and canvas rotation. The design is reversible so all of the keys are positioned conveniently for both right- and left-handers. Estimated Street Price: $229 to $789. Contact: Wacom, (800) 922-6613, www.wacom.com.

The result is a truly warped and crazy leader of Team Solar with a rather bizarre and bloody past. The point is, don't expect it to be conventional. At all.
Me, I hang around the game development sections, giving plot advice and whatnot.

And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains.
MACBETH: I will not yield
To kiss the ground before young Malcom's feet
And to be baited with the rabble's curse
Though Birnam Wood be come to Dunsinane
And thou opposed, being of no woman born
Yet I will try the last. Before my body
I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff
And damned be he that first cries, "Hold, enough!"

I got pregnant at 38 with my first child. My husband and I conceived on our honeymoon in the Dominican Republic. We came home and a month later, I found out I was pregnant...much to our surprise! I had just stopped using birth control a month before we went thinking it would "take some time". Regardless, we were over the moon! Seemed like a fairytale! Fall in love, get married, have baby...we were just so happy! About 6 weeks into my pregnancy, I started to bleed. A visit to the doctor we learned everything was just fine. 8 weeks, bleeding again...a visit to the doctor and we found out we were having twins! We found out soon enough to know that they shared a placenta and they would be "identical". At 18 weeks, we found out they were girls! So we named them Kamryn Carol and Kenzie Lucia....middle names of our moms. We were excited...but also nervous! It felt so special that God chose us to have twins...just a blessing, created with so much love. With my age and now knowing the babies shared a placneta. I was labeled "high risk" and we were scheduled for bi-weekly growth checks and weekly fluid checks starting around 14 weeks. It was at one of these routine fluid checks that everything changed. I was 26W6D and I was JUST starting to feel the joys of being pregnant--the baby kicks, the hiccups, the moving around...from both of my girls. I was also feeling the pains...swollen ankles, shoes that didn't fit, carpal tunnel in my hands and arms...but it was all good because I wanted this whole experience because after all, these babies would be my first and only children. I embraced all that pregnancy was offering me. On that day, we happened to be the first appt and we had also gotten there early so they took us 10 minutes early. They started the ultrasound with Baby B (Kamryn) who had always been a little bigger than her sister. She looked great, moving all around, heart beating, fluid looked great. They went over to Baby A (Kenzie) who had always been behind in growth but not by any alarming rate...we were told early on that her cord was marginal--not in the center of the placenta so she wasn't getting everything she needed as fast as Kamryn whose cord was in the center...again, nothing we should worry about...we were being watched very closely. As soon as Kenzie appeared on the screen, her heart was barely beating. "Lay on your side" they told me. Nothing happened. Her heart rate didn't go up. The tech ran from the room...my husband and I prayed. Less than 30 seconds and I was on my way down the hallway, a team of doctors and nurses running me right into an OR where there were even more doctors and nurses and as we were racing down the hallway my last words to my husband were "call my mom". I later learned he was taken to a room and sat with a nurse and the hospital chaplain, not knowing what was happening to me. The team stopped right before the OR door and told me Kenzie was not going to make it either way and that they had to move fast so that Kamryn would have a chance. There wasn't time for steroid shots so there was a chance she would not survive either due to her lungs not being open yet. I told them to get her out. Ten minutes later, my girls were born...they got both of them out in under a minute by emergency c-section. They tried to help Kenzie survive (born at 1 pound, 9oz) but her heart rate never went above 50 and I was later told she never looked good. Kamryn Kenzie (we gave her her sisters name so she would always have a piece of her was born at 2 pounds) gave a good scream when she was taken out (so I was told) and was then intubated after 3 rounds of surfactant helped her lungs open. I will never ever forget the first time I laid eyes on her under that bright hot light with wires and tubes and tape everywhere and the pain I felt not being able to hold her for almost 2 weeks. This experience has made me believe that God exists and that he is always with us whether we believe that or not. He was there to give Kamryn the strength to survive and he was with us all along giving Kenize the strength to make it long enough so that her sister had a chance to live. God knew Kenzie wasn't going to make it but rather than take them both too soon, he gave one a chance and she is a healthy, happy, baby girl...one we would have lost as well had God not put us in the right place at the right time with the right people. When I came to, my husband and family was there and I was told what happened and then handed my tiny, precious, baby girl. She was cold and gray and I was just so numb from the medication but the nurse helped me slide her down into my tank top so I could feel my baby and bond with her before I had to let her go. My husband and I kangaroo'd her for a long time before we finally, sadly, gave her to the nurse and were later given a very pretty box with her tiny little things and pictures of her. It took us a long time to look inside that box but I am so glad we have it. As a result of this experience, I have had to deal with so many emotions I have never felt...I've been sad before but have never felt this kind of grief. It is painful. It hurts...it can take your breath away. And I wasn't only grieving the loss of a beautiful baby girl, but the rest of my pregnancy, a baby shower, baby kicks, getting fat, maternity clothes, even labor! All of the things I was so so happy to be a part of. And I felt anger. I was so mad! I did NOT want to do this! This was too hard and scary and it wasn't part of my plan and how the h**l was I going to get through this...if at all! And the joy...I had another baby girl who was alive! And that was something to celebrate...BUT...how can you be happy and full of joy when you are full of fear. The worst emotion of all! Fear that this baby will die too...or need surgery...or stop breathing...or just die...to this day, I fear every single day that she will get sick and die. The NICU is a scary place where life is not guranteed. And despite the support of a March of Dimes chapter in our hospital (Tufts Boston) the best doctors and nurses, a social worker and chaplain we could not have gotten trhough this without, the NICU is scary! They tell you to expect a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs and even though today is a great day, tomorrow might not be so you live in a constant state of anxiety just waiting for something to go wrong, which thankfully, in our case, never did. "One day at a time" they tell you. For someone who likes a routine and plans, this was very, very hard. There is nothing scarier than watching your baby fight to live covered in wires and lights almost transparent from the lack of fat on her tiny little body and you can't feel joy. You hear bings and bells and learn about "bradys" and "spells" and learn to hold your breath every time you visit and your baby forgets to breathe. Despite the amazing NICU staff who take such great care of your baby and who support you and do little things like tape tiny bows to her head or shut off the monitor while you hold her so you can actually enjoy it without watching and waiting for her to have a spell...it can make you crazy. Well, it made me crazy...after a few scary panic attacks, my husband and one of our NICU nurses sat me down and told me they were worried about me. I cried constantly and was just so afraid Kamryn was going to die I could not function. I was later diagnosed with PTSD and post partum anxiety as a result of experiencing this trauma I am still taking zoloft to help me feel better. Thankfully, it works...I still think my crazy death thoughts but I don't "feel" them anymore. I am better at remaining calm and I don't have panic attacks or cry anymore...at least not as much. We have had our baby home since 11/9/12 and we have barely taken her out--only to see the pedi and to get her synagis shot. Most of our friends and family have not met her and as a back to work pre-school teacher, I am constantly worried I will be the one who gets her sick. But I know that one day, she is going to get sick. And I will get through that too. I will never, ever "get past" this experience as so many people try to helpfully say (at least they think they are saying something helpful) but I am getting through it one day at a time and I hope whoever is reading this does too. People will often say to us "I can't imagine losing my child". They are right. They can't. And I hope they never have to feel this pain. I think that if you haven't been through something like this, lost a child, you really can't imagine how hard it really is. I thank God every day for my life and for the life of this amazing, perfect baby girl who has taught me what love really feels like and to once again, feel joy. God Bless. Kristen

Big ((hugs)). Your story is different from mine in many ways but then there are similarities. My name is Kristin, and I also live in Massachusetts (Worcester-ish). Twin loss, check. Crazy abrupt delivery, check. Extremely premature baby, check. I had a honeymoon baby, too, but miscarried that pregnancy.
Anyhow, I wanted to let you know that it gets easier. Slowly, slowly, the PTSD triggers fade. The scary memories will always be there, but gradually, the happy mamories will become the more prominent ones.

i'm so sorry to hear that you lost one of your twin girls. i'm pm-ing you, if you don't mind.
She just turned a year old, and I can say that the pain has started to me a companion, instead of a surprise that knocks the wind out of me. It is always there, but it isn't the first thing I feel. I have been able to celebrate Emma and the miracle that she is, I too feel that Oliver's purpose was to get his sister safely here. He is always spoken of by my other children, and still very much a part of our family.
J10, 10w mc, K7 (lost her twin at 11w), 9w mmc, C4, Twins born 23w1d: ^O^ 1day, E spent 125d NICU stay is thriving at home!! JS 28w2d-60d NICU stay
Kristin, sounds like we do have some things in common! Although I wish a twin loss wasn't one of them Hugs to you as well! It took me a long time to realize I needed help and when I was told I had PTSD it suddenly dawned on me that I had been through a huge trauma and I was not "ok" like I thought I was! Little by little, I am starting to feel better thanks to a great support system. And just this morning my girl noticed her toys and picked one up...talk about happy! How long was it before you weren't terrified of her getting sick? My last lingering anxiety is picturing her intubated in the hospital with RSV...
Gold star for your little girl!
I worried about him getting sick until he actually got sick and I saw that he was strong enough to recover just like a "normal" baby. Thankfully, he didn't catch anything during his first winter. He caught roseola when he was 10 months old, and he went through the typical sequence - mild respiratory illness, high fever, rash. After he weathered through that illness, I was satisfied that he could handle day care. He started day care at 13 months. We did end up in the hospital for a day when he caught a bad stomach virus during his second winter, but that was a short, easy-peasy experience compared to the NICU stay.

I'm also a Kristin! I'm sorry for your loss. Our boys were born at 36 weeks. Our survivor, who we thought would be the healthy one, was in the NICU after birth than had surgery for an intestinal blockage due to Cystic Fibrosis when he was 3 days old. He ended up in the NICU for 31 days.
That first year, I only took him out for his appointments. He got a few sniffles here and there. We put him into daycare when he was 8-9 months. The pain does lessen over time. Hugs to you.
Proud mama to Carson James and angel Chase Gabriel born 01.18.10
It was the worst thing we have ever had to live through...
We were going to my brother in-laws house for Thanksgiving so my brother in-law decided to call us the day after all of that happened to tell us that his wife was 8weeks pregnant with their second child and giving us a heads up cause that's when they were going to announce it to the family.. We almost didn't go, but decided we should but the whole time I was there I felt like I was defected cause I couldn't carry our babies!
Now it's almost Christmas and all the family is coming to his parents house and she is 3 1/2 months pregnant and I really don't want to be around her while she is here it still bothers me.
I don't yet know how to cope with all this.
As of right now though my husband and I are trying again. I just started my first period since the miscarriage, I hope it all goes as planed this time around.

Kevyn Orr took Detroit into Chapter 9 bankruptcy last week with the blessing of Gov. Rick Snyder. It's the largest bankruptcy by a local government in U.S. history. While the case is being overseen by a judge, the city and its creditors still are free to negotiate deals that could shorten the process.
"Instead of engaging in a war of words . even if you have to do that for public consumption, come to me confidentially with a counter-proposal. I haven't heard that," Orr said of creditors, unions and other critics. He spoke on the "Craig Fahle Show" on WDET-FM.
Orr has said Detroit has long-term debts of at least $18 billion. The bankruptcy process could take a year or more, but U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes first must find that Detroit is eligible. Some unions plan to challenge it.
"You can't show insolvency. ... We're going to get our day in court," Ed McNeil, a senior negotiator at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said after a court hearing Wednesday.
Rhodes is proposing that another judge, Gerald Rosen of the U.S. District Court in Detroit, act as a mediator in the months ahead. That's on the agenda at the next hearing, Aug. 2.
"We need a sober, mature discussion," Orr said of critics. "If you want to sit around and call me names—we don't have time for that.

Did a ride over the North Cascades Highway today called the Native Planet Classic. From Winthrop, through North Cascades National Park, to Lake Diablo, and then back again. Ride was listed at 128 miles but I rode to the start from my hotel and ended up with 133 miles for the day. 10,400 feet of climbing.
The ride is basically 64 miles of climbing, 64 miles of descending. Very little flat riding.
It was my longest bike ride ever...

|French Canadian and Iowa Native Team Up for Theatrical Performance
|News Releases - Stage & Theatre
|Written by Daniel Rairdin-Hale
|Tuesday, 20 May 2014 09:15
International theatre artist Audrey Leclair (Montreal, Quebec) is visiting Davenport for the next three weeks to develop a comedic theatre production with Quad Cities native Daniel Rairdin-Hale (Davenport, IA).
They call themselves 'Du Haut Duo' (pronounced 'duo duo') and they are planning to travel their physical comedy show to Montreal, New York City, and other places around the world…but they are premiering here in the Quad Cities first.
Audrey Leclair recently finished an artistic residency in India and is also developing a show with Théâtre de la Tapisserie, a company she co-founded in Montreal, Quebec.
Daniel Rairdin-Hale teaches and directs theatre locally at St. Ambrose University and recently finished acting in a feature film produced by Fourth Wall Films entitled "Sons & Daughters of Thunder."
Both of them received theatrical clown training at Dell'Arte International in California, where they met and worked with each other for the first time.
While here, they are also leading workshops in red-nose clown and slapstick through the Davenport Junior Theatre.
If you would like to see them perform, there are only four chances:
Sunday June 1, 2014 at the Davenport Junior Theatre at 1:00PM and 4:00PM
Friday June 6, 2014 at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, IA at 7:30PM
and Saturday June 7, 2014 at the Establishment Theatre in Rock Island, IL at 9:30PM

Zarina's Group
Actually, Zarina's husband has two businesses. In the morning he drives a rented rickshaw and provides transport services to his passengers while in the evening he operates his grocery selling business. In his absence, Zarina takes care of the grocery business and deals with the customers very professionally.
She has given birth to three sons and a daughter. Her sons work while her daughter remains at home and helps her in her daily household tasks.
Zarina has applied for a loan from KIVA partner Asasah for her husband's grocery store business. With the loan investment, he will buy grocery stock such as cooking oils, spices, etc. in bulk quantity that will allow him to address the clients' needs and increase his sales and profits.
Zarina is very hopeful that her husband will be able to make good use of the loan money and that it will improve his income.
Note: In the photo, the lady holding a book (called Asasah Passbook) is Zarina.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Post reporters Dana Priest, the Pulitzer Prize-winner, famous for exposing the CIA's secret prisons (aka "black sites"), and the degrading conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and Amy Goldstein, who covers national social policy and was part of a team of reporters that won a Pulitzer for their reporting of 9/11, join us today in the Newseum to talk about how they got their story.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111014/ROBBINSUMEDALOGO)Align designs, manufactures, and markets digital treatment solutions for dental professionals, including the Invisalign system for orthodontic treatment. The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the Company issued a series of materially false and misleading statements to investors overstating its reported income and earnings. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendants' statements regarding the Company were materially false and misleading because Align failed to timely write down goodwill associated with its April 2011 acquisition of Cadent Holdings, Inc. ("Cadent"). Further, according to the complaint, the company failed to disclose that negotiations between Align and its exclusive European distributor, the Straumann Group ("Straumann"), had been failing, resulting in a material impairment of the goodwill associated with the Cadent Acquisition. Additionally, the investors were not made aware that Align's third quarter and fiscal 2012 financial forecasts could not be supported by current sales trends. Moreover, as a result of these misrepresentations and/or omissions, Align's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the class period, allowing Company insiders to sell more than 1.5 million shares of the Company's stock for more than $52 million. Then, on October 17, 2012, Align announced the termination of its distribution agreement with Straumann, and pre-announced that the Company would miss analysts' revenue and earnings expectations. On this news, Align's share price fell 20%, from $35.41 per share on October 17, 2012 to close at $28.18 on October 18, 2012. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Align stock during the Class Period and wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must act no later than January 28, 2013.

After the National League Central division leading Cincinnati Reds swept the Milwaukee Brewers, it became painfully clear general manager Doug Melvin has no choice but to sell this week.
The Brewers are 10.5 games out of first place in the division and 7.5 games out in the wild card race. Milwaukee needed to take two out of three games in each divisional series to start out the second half of the season but unfortunately that did not happen.
The Brewers started out well winning back-to-back series against the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals. However, Cincinnati proved why no team will be able to compete against them for the NL Central crown and why Milwaukee has no business hanging on to key players who seem willing to depart via free agency at seasons end.
Cincinnati swept the Brewers and Cardinals in two of their first three series to start the second half, and appear well equipped to do the same against the ailing Houston Astros this upcoming week. The Reds are running on all cylinders, even without Joey Votto in the lineup, and are clearly primed to make a deep postseason push.
Milwaukee did not want to sell and were confident they could do enough damage against division opponents to be buyers and contend for a second consecutive division title. Unfortunately, the Brewers failed in that respect and will now most likely watch Zack Greinke walk even after they were confirmed to have offered him somewhere around $100 million deal. Milwaukee will also have to consider who else is expendable in order try to get some much needed offensive prospects in return.
It is disappointing to watch a team struggle like this as there was plenty of promise entering the season. However, when major season-ending injuries happen it is hard for a team to right the ship, especially when certain players who were relied upon to play at a certain level simply do not. The season is not over yet, however, it seems inevitable the Brewers will be tossing in the towel and waving the white flag at some point this week. In fact, I would have to guess owner Mark Attanasio made the phone call to Melvin immediately following the game and gave the order to activate the trade talks.
The Brewers must find a way to bounce back so that they do not waste Ryan Braun's prime years like the Green Bay Packers did in the early 2000s with Brett Favre.

In probably the most contentious national election in our recent history, it's important to remember and understand that the type of issues that have inspired such division and emotional debate are neither trivial nor easily remedied, regardless of who wins the election.
The great recession, national debt concerns and terrorism are very complex in nature and there are very few silver bullets to turn the ship around quickly, but they are solvable and need immediate coordination and compromise between our governmental branches and not recriminations.
It's very important to vote your conscience and your heart and once it's over to come together as a community, state and nation.
The shameless sabotage in our political system, while always prevalent, has gone far beyond rational debate and has turned into a worldwide embarrassment.
We need to fix tax loopholes, address entitlements in a responsible manner, handle the debt crisis and, most of all, treat each other in a civil manner.

The final report card - how the Premier League was won and lost
As the dust settles on another gripping English Premier League season, Nick Pulford takes a look at the Big Six and the dynamics over the course of the months that helped shape the final standings
Five reasons why they won the title
1. Away form. Fixing this was crucial to regaining the title and, despite only four points from their first six away games, Manuel Pellegrini got it right, with 30 points from a possible 39 after that.
2. A strong spine. Joe Hart (who responded well to being dropped after his early mistakes), Vincent Kompany, Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero have few peers in their respective positions and collectively they are the best. David Silva is not bad either.
3. The best balance. City scored a lot more goals than Chelsea (102 to 71) and conceded significantly fewer than Liverpool (37, against 50) - the goal-difference factor exerted extra pressure on their rivals on the run-in.
4. Man management. Pellegrini may have had the strongest squad but he showed great skill in getting the best out of previously under-used or under-performing players, notably Edin Dzeko and Samir Nasri.
5. Temperament. City led the table for only 13 days in the entire campaign, mainly because they had played fewer matches until late in the season. Having games in hand brings its own pressure and the winning experience of City's players (compared with most of those at Liverpool and Arsenal) was crucial.
Commitment to attack can leave them vulnerable (the 3-2 defeat at Liverpool almost cost them the title); failure to translate domestic form to Champions League.
What they need to do now
The squad as it stands would be good enough for a strong title defence but new arrivals are certain, especially with the aim of doing better in the Champions League; a long-term central defensive partner for Kompany is the greatest need.
Five reasons why they lost the title
1. Leaky defence. Liverpool ranked only 12th for clean sheets and 25 of their 30 dropped points came when they conceded two or more goals, which happened 16 times (by contrast, City conceded more than once in 11 games). The 3-3 at Crystal Palace was an accident waiting to happen.
2. Individual mistakes, and not just from the defenders - Steven Gerrard's slip against Chelsea will haunt him for the rest of his life. Kolo Toure's giveaway against West Brom stands out too. In total Liverpool lost 14 points from winning positions (more than any other top-seven side).
3. Critical absences. When Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge started together, Liverpool's record was W15 D4 L1 and at that strike-rate they would have finished with 93 points if both had been available for every game. In particular, Liverpool lost four out of nine during Sturridge's mid-season absence for six weeks.
4. Bad luck. Liverpool were denied an onside goal, as many as three strong penalty claims and a sending-off in three of their biggest away games - the 2-1 defeats at Manchester City and Chelsea and the 3-3 draw at Everton. Those decisions ultimately proved crucial.
5. Did they choke? After 11 straight wins, Liverpool lost at home to Chelsea and threw away a three-goal lead at Palace. Lack of experience in that position let them down.
A brilliant front six, led by the outstanding Suarez; an astute young manager in Brendan Rodgers; Anfield is back to being a fortress; youth is on their side.
What they need to do now
Strengthen the defence, especially in the centre, and hold on to Suarez again. More cover is needed in most positions now that they will have to cope with the Champions League as well as domestic fixtures.
Five reasons why they lost the title
1. Lack of goals. Manchester City and Liverpool both had three scorers in double figures but Chelsea had only one: Eden Hazard with 14 (a total Fernando Torres and Samuel Eto'o barely managed between them).
2. Lack of goals (part two). Chelsea failed to score in eight matches (compared with three for Liverpool and four for Manchester City) and dropped 20 points from those games alone. On the run-in the 1-0 defeats at Aston Villa and Crystal Palace were particularly costly.
3. Lack of goals (part three). It is not as if the scoring problems came out of the blue; last summer's pursuit of Wayne Rooney came to nothing and the only back-up plan was to sign Eto'o.
4. Points dropped against bottom-half teams. Liverpool took 49 points in that category, Manchester City 47 but Chelsea only 43 and surprisingly the problem was most acute at Stamford Bridge (defeat by Sunderland and draws with West Brom, luckily, West Ham and Norwich).
5. Fixture build-up. It is hard to share Jose Mourinho's view that his team were treated unfairly by the fixture list but they lost nine points in the nine games when they were faced with a three-day turnaround.
Mourinho's tactical nous; strong defence (top for clean sheets with 18); big-match experience.
What they need to do now
Buy a top-class striker and plan for a future without John Terry and Frank Lampard. Though the former has signed a new one-year deal and the latter still might, they won't be around much longer; having formed his first Chelsea side around an English heart, it will be interesting to see if Mourinho tries to do the same again.
Five reasons why they lost the title
1. Big-match losses. Arsenal took only 13 points in games between the top seven, compared with 27 for Chelsea, 25 for Manchester City and 22 for Liverpool. Not only did they lose, they were hammered 6-3 at City, 5-1 at Liverpool and 6-0 at Chelsea.
2. Specialists in failure? Not for the first time, Arsenal faded from a promising position and, after nine trophy-less years, there is little winning experience in the squad to help them get over the line. FA Cup victory on Saturday could change the mentality.
3. Key injuries (especially to Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott). Ramsey, one of the stars of the first half of the season, was out for three months and in that period Arsenal went from leading by a point to trailing by eight points.
4. Transfer policy (or lack of it). The ridiculous £40 million (HK$520 million)-and-a-pound offer for Luis Suarez summed it up; no striker arrived in the summer and, although Mesut Ozil shimmered briefly, lack of back-up for Olivier Giroud eventually proved costly.
5. Not enough goals at home. Only 36 were scored in 19 home games, leaving them vulnerable without a clean sheet (nine of their 13 dropped points at home came in that scenario).
Away form (11 wins was the best in the Premier League); record against bottom-half teams (53 points, again the best in the league); defence better than many admit (17 clean sheets was second only to Chelsea); high-class midfielders.
What they need to do now
Arsene Wenger has a solid platform but he has to buy. A top-quality striker is the priority; a real leader, either in midfield or defence, would help.
Five reasons why they lost the title
1. Chaotic transfer policy. The £86 million fee for Gareth Bale was poorly reinvested with a scattergun approach; Christian Eriksen and, more fitfully, Paulinho were the only newcomers to shine.
2. Lack of direction. Andre Villas-Boas was sacked and Tim Sherwood appointed (supposedly for 18 months) but got the chop soon after season's end.
3. Low return from big games. Only nine points out of 36 against the rest of the top seven.
4. Poor home form. Spurs took 16 points fewer than Manchester City in home games and finished a total of 17 behind overall (similarly they gave up 13 points to Liverpool and 12 to Chelsea on home form).
5. The Europa League. Even with their strong squad, the Thursday-night competition took its toll and six of their 11 defeats came after European games.
Away form against sides below them (10 wins out of 14); solid defence against non-elite opponents; Hugo Lloris, Jan Vertonghen, Eriksen and Emmanuel Adebayor form a decent spine, but will they all stay?
What they need to do now
Stability is needed but looks unlikely; a new manager will arrive for another busy summer of transfers.
Five reasons why they lost the title
1. David Moyes. Ultimately the job was too big for him and United managed to take only one point more than Moyes' Everton did last season.
2. The hierarchy. Alex Ferguson and the Glazers must shoulder a large part of the blame for handing Moyes an ageing squad (even the signing of Robin van Persie, which brought them the title last season, smacked of short-termism).
3. Big-match negativity. Moyes' methods were summed up by only one win and just six goals scored in 12 matches against the rest of the top seven.
4. Poor home form. Old Trafford is a fortress no more; United had seven home defeats (the same as relegated Norwich).
5. Defensive weaknesses. United conceded first in 50 per cent of their matches (compared with 18 per cent for Manchester City), losing 12 out of 19. United's record when they didn't concede first was W15 D4 L0.
Residual solidity (United ranked second to Arsenal against bottom-half teams); top-class attackers; a brilliant goalkeeper; the fans (so used to winning, they handled the setbacks remarkably well).
What they need to do now
Buy well in key positions (central defence, creative midfield, holding midfield), although doubts remain about their true spending power under the Glazers. Even a coach as good as Louis van Gaal might have difficulty doing any better than restoring them to the Champions League.

Brock Lesnar advice
When CM Punk decided to join UFC after leaving WWE, he turned to Brock Lesnar for some advice. The former NCAA champion was quite eager to help. Punk asked Lesnar what the most difficult part of the transition was, so Lesnar told him that the hardest part was letting go. Now that he has trained extensively, Punk realizes that the advice was absolutely sound. He admits to punching too lightly at times because of his pro wrestling background.

Brock Lesnar leaving
Rumors about Brock Lesnar leaving WWE to return to UFC have been around for several months now, but they recently heated up even further, as reports have surfaced that management has informed the staff to no longer produce merchandise for the former world heavyweight champion. The reports also state that the merchandising department was told to produce Sheamus items instead with the inventory that was left over. The company has denied the reports.

Gary E. Holdren
Thank you and good morning. I want to thank you for joining us for today's webcast to discuss Huron Consulting Group's third quarter 2008 results. Before we begin, I would like to point all of you to the disclosure at the end of our news release for information about any forward-looking statements that may be made or discussed on this call. We have posted a news released on our website.
Please review that information along with our filings with the SEC for disclosure of factors that may impact subjects discussed in this morning's webcast. Also on this call we will be discussing one or more non-GAAP financial measures. Please look at our earnings release and on our website for all the disclosures required by the SEC including reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP numbers.
Joining me on the earnings call today are Gary Burge, our Chief Financial Officer; Dan Broadhurst, our Chief Operating Officer; and Mary Sawall, our Vice President of Human Resources.
This morning I would like to cover two topics. First, results of the third quarter and second, our thoughts on what impact the financial markets and economy will have on Huron for the rest of the year and in 2009.
Let me talk first about the third quarter. Gary Burge will cover the numbers a lot more closely when I am done with my remarks. The third quarter was very successful for Huron. First of all, we completed the acquisition of Stockamp and the integration is going well. Stockamp's third quarter financial results came in as expected so we are off to a good start and Q4 will show more normal gross margins for Stockamp.
And Huron's legacy business on an overall basis had a very good quarter. Excluding our previously announced restructuring charges and Stockamp results, the adjusted EBITDA margin for Huron's combined portfolio businesses in the third quarter would have been better than 26%. That's the highest margin percentage in Huron's history and it certainly points to a solid performance in Q3.
Our Health and Education segment had a really good quarter. As I said, Stockamp's integration is going very well and they met all of our operating and financial expectations in the first quarter with us. We are also very excited about how they are going to combine forces with our Wellspring and Higher Education teams to address the needs for hospitals, major health systems and the academic medical centers. Excluding Stockamp's results, the legacy Health and Education business posted record revenues and an operating margin of nearly 40%.
We continued to demonstrate our market leadership position. Demand for these businesses by the marketplaces are extremely strong. Our Legal Consulting business also turned in great results for the quarter with record revenues and margins. V3locity was off the charts with our document reuse centers averaging more than 100% utilization in the third quarter. In our Finance Consulting segment we improved segment operating income by $2 million from second quarter of 2008 through headcount reductions and increased utilization.
As you will recall from last quarter's conference call, we've closed down our operational consultant business because of below average operating results. As a reminder, operational consultants, set in our Corporate Consulting segment.
So I think we had a very good quarter during what was a difficult time for a lot of companies. I believe this speaks to our ability to adapt to the market and to take advantage of our strengths. And I think it also speaks to our ability to manage through challenging times with our balanced portfolio businesses and the return on investment concept clients get for using Huron.
But based on what we are seeing in the marketplace, how does this position Huron for the rest of 2008 and 2009? It is fair to say that very few of us at Huron and our clients and American industry in general and those of you in the investment community have direct experience dealing with the kind of marketplace turmoil we are witnessing today. We are also experiencing the uneasiness caused by wide swings in the equity markets, a lack of certainty in the credit markets, and whether consumers will have funds to buy goods and products.
I would be less than candid if I didn't say that predicting 2009 revenue growth and results will involve more variables and uncertainties than any other time in the history of Huron. We expect to see some pullbacks or delays in assignments in some sectors and certainly any future widespread liquidity issues and companies drive to conserve cash could affect our business.

Rutland woman arrested in South Burlington prostitution investigationBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | January 27,2013
A Rutland woman was arrested as part of an investigation into prostitution in South Burlington, according to police.
Courtney Samplatsky, 25, was charged with giving false information to a police officer and held on that charge along with a number of active arrest warrants, according to a statement issued Sunday by the South Burlington Police Department.
Sgt. David Solomon said investigators' attention had been drawn to the Anchorage Inn on Dorset Street.
"We're seeing more and more prostitution issues in the area," Solomon said, "I think it's always been here. I think we're taking a harder look at it because where you have prostitution, you generally have drugs, you generally have criminals. The guys pimping out these girls are not angels. They're not clean-cut businessmen."
Police had contact with Samplatsky at the Anchorage on Saturday after they smelled marijuana there, Solomon said, and the continuing investigation found that she had given them a false name during that contact.
It also found she "was involved in Internet advertising for escort services," according to police, and had arrest warrants with a total of $15,000 bail attached to them issued for her.
