The Wanted may have had to push back the release of Word of Mouth, but on Tuesday (September 10), the boy band offered up fans some new music thanks to their new single, "Show Me Love."
The ballad offers up a change of pace for the group, who previously dropped two peppier singles "Walks Like Rihanna" and "We Own the Night" off their November 4 effort. Their latest single, which bandmate Nathan Sykes helped co-write, is about coming to terms with a relationship that just isn't going to work out. The boy bander spoke to MTV News about the track, explaining why he wanted to write it.
"Personally, for me, there's a song called 'Show Me Love' and it's a song I wrote in an afternoon with a friend of mine. And it really means a lot to me 'cause it kind of goes into how hard it is to hold a relationship when you're in this business, traveling the world and stuff like that," he told us about the slow jam.
"And it's just saying to someone 'I could have shown you the world but obviously we're on different paths.' I think that's kind of how a lot of people in this industry kind of feel, but I think it's very relatable to a lot of the fans as well because sometimes in life that just happens and people end up on different paths and it just doesn't work out."
While the guys are best known for creating party-themed jams, their new track recalls "All Time Low," a ballad off their 2010 self-titled debut album.
"It's like a really epic sound and we went back to, we wanted to recreate the string sound that we used in 'All Time Low.' It's quite deep, I'm not gonna lie. We also think the chorus is very sing-along and there's this amazing breakdown bit which we also love," he explained. "So that's the one I can relate to quite a lot."

The long-delayed transition in Cuba gives policy makers the opportunity to consider averting corruption an integral part of the overall transition strategy. Corruption imposed a heavy burden on the economic transition of the former Soviet Union and its East European allies, just as it did in post-Sandinista Nicaragua. Expectations for reconstituting these countries into modern nation-states with political and economic structures akin to those of the democratic, market-oriented West were in many cases dashed in no small part because of corruption. As these former socialist countries started the transition, the priorities of policy makers were macroeconomic stabilization, liberalization of prices in product markets, privatization of state-owned property, creation of an institutional base to support the market, and establishment and nurturing of democratic institutions. As these economic and political transformations were being carried out, the potential for corruption to derail a successful transition was not understood. Only in hindsight have the enormous negative effects of corruption on the transition process been appreciated.
More than a decade into the transitions of the former Soviet Union and the socialist countries of Eastern Europe, a body of literature has emerged that assesses the strategies and outcomes of such transitions (e.g., Aslund 2002; Svejnar 2002; World Bank 2002). The consensus is that the transitions have been painful—more so than was initially envisioned—and resulted in deeper reductions in output than anticipated. Initial conditions (among them geography and natural resources, years spent under central planning, specific nature of socialist development) had a very significant influence on performance, particularly in the early stages of the transition. It is clear that politicians and economists underestimated the difficulty of the transition and that in some instances questionable policy choices were made. Although growth performance has varied greatly across reforming countries, those nations that made the most concentrated reform efforts

Additional Information
About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. By providing small loans and other financial services, SMT empowers poor clients to generate more income to help their families, improve their wellbeing, and create a more vibrant private small-business sector in Sierra Leone.
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.

Oklahoma City Thunder holds good cards
NBA general managers play their own version of the stock market. Owning five first-round picks in the next two drafts, Thunder general manager Sam Presti owns several tradable commodities. The most valuable, by far, are Oklahoma City's pick this season and Phoenix's first-round pick in 2010. Pardon the pun, but if the "Setting Suns" continue their downward spiral, that pick could be highly coveted by other GMs. First-round picks acquired in trades are not the same. Oklahoma City owns Denver's and San Antonio's first-round picks in this year's draft, provided both teams make the playoffs. Those are labeled "protected" picks. If the Spurs or Nuggets nose dive and miss the playoffs — highly unlikely — the Thunder doesn't get the pick until 2010. Phoenix's pick in 2010 is different. It's "unprotected." The Thunder gets the Suns' first-round pick next season regardless of where the Suns finish. Shaquille O'Neal, Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire are all signed through 2010. Grant Hill's contract expires this season. But if the Suns continue to struggle, it's conceivable they might trade a star or two at some point the next 12 months to get younger. That's where league GMs play the stock market. Phoenix's pick could be a lottery pick in a draft in which point guard Grant Wall, a high school senior in Raleigh, N.C., might be the No. 1 overall player in 2010 after playing one year in college. "Draft picks are assets other teams value," Presti said. "Having flexibility gives us various options." What are Presti's options? →Presti can package Phoenix's, Denver's or San Antonio's picks, plus the Thunder's first-round pick this season, to move up a couple of spots in the draft to take someone like OU's Blake Griffin. →Presti can keep the picks and draft rookies to complement a young team that has improved in recent weeks. →Presti can use one or more of the draft picks to acquire a veteran player at a cap-friendly salary. "There's a lot of different ways to build your team," Presti said. "We have to make good decisions." Fans love Nash and Shaq. But no one could blame Thunder fans if they root against the Suns. The more games Phoenix loses the next 12 months, the more it increases the value of the Suns' 2010 pick.

Southern Gardening: Salvia varieties create colorful, informal feel
Many gardeners try to give their landscape the feel of an informal cottage garden. This garden concept has a loose, flowing feel, kind of like you just let plants grow wherever they happen to pop up in the landscape.
I had a professor way back in college who had a unique cottage garden planting method: He would walk through the landscape and just toss plants over his shoulder. We planted them where they landed. And you know what? His gardens looked awfully good.

Bush's success
The recent elections in Lebanon and Iran appear to show the growing strength of the work of former President George W. Bush in the Mideast. Democracy is growing, although Iran needs assistance to break free of tyranny, in a region that many argued is doomed to intolerance, ruling classes and distrust of outsiders. Cracks in this wall are appearing to open the region up.
While the media and Washington pols do not give Mr. Bush credit for this change, can anyone remember when democracy was so open in this region?
Let us hope President Barack Obama continues the Bush policy for democracy in the Mideast and voices opposition to other totalitarian countries that threaten us.

Action Research Methods
in Family Therapy
"Action research" (AR) is a research paradigm that emphasizes close collaboration between researchers and community participants to generate knowledge that is useful for solving local problems. It originally emerged in social science in the 1940s, as a response to problems related to social structures that were seen as unfair and oppressive to minority and other marginalized groups (Corey, 1953; Hagey, 1997; Piercy & Thomas, 1998). Originally advanced by Kurt Lewin (1946), AR encompassed two principal areas of focus: (1) changing an oppressive system, and (2) acquiring critical knowledge about the system and its context. The democratic and participatory nature of AR processes (discussed below) was advanced as key, backed by the argument that those who directly experience a phenomenon are the best qualified to investigate it (DePoy, Hartman, & Haslett, 1999). Although AR's focus and visibility in contemporary times have extended beyond this original foundation into and across a wide range of health and human service fields, this method of investigative inquiry continues to be defined by central tenets related to a collaborative partnership between researchers and participants. Within this partnership, hierarchical differences are flattened, and all participants in the research process work together to create knowledge and effect change (Yoshihama & Carr, 2002).
Though it is still not widely practiced in marriage and family therapy (MFT) circles, AR has gained increased credibility in health care (e.g., medicine, nursing) since the early 1990s because of its potential to inform understanding of patients' experiences and to improve or generate the services provided to them (Fraser, 1999; Heslop, Elsom, & Parker, 2000; Kovacs, 2000; Tobin, 2000; Ward & Trigler, 2001). Similarly, its use is increasing in social work and family science because of its potential to inform understanding of clients' experiences and improve community outreach, education, and cultural awareness efforts (de Amorim & Cavalcante, 1992; Newfield, Kuehl, Joanning, & Quinn, 1991; Piercy & Thomas, 1998). As health care (broadly defined) moves forward in a state of constant change, the need for research strategies

Moto Hagio began to show artistic talent at a very young age. In her second year of high school she decided to become a manga artist. In 1969, Hagio made her professional debut in Nakayoshi with the short story 'Ruru to Mimi'. Later, for Shogakukan Publishing, she produced a string of short stories for various magazines, culminating in 1971 with 'Juichigatsu no Gimunajiumu'. It gave birth to a genre of girls' comics about love between young men. In 1974, Hagio developed this story into the longer 'Toma No Shinzo'. She was awarded the Sogakukan Comics Award in 1976, for her science-fiction classic 'Juichinin Iru!' and her epic tale 'Po No Ichizoku'.

what's the deal with this dive. I can't believethat this stock isn't going to take a major upswing inthe near future. It's just too good to stay down muchlonger. I presently hold some and have no intention ofselling any off.
I would suspect that the "worry" has to do withthe fact that the managers are seeing the value oftheir stock and ESSOP going the wrong way.Note thatOR posted an increase of 6.3% over 3rdQ 97; howeverthe investment community (not OR management) hadforecast higher earnings.EPSwas .51 vs .48 but analystsexpected .54.Does this indicate a problem in the companyor in the investment community?I'm not sellngand would buy more if I had cash.Believe thatWarren Buffet's comments on the market come into playhere vis-a-vis the market being no indication of thevalue of a company and that low prices mean goodcompanies go on sale.
Check out the insider moves. Is the "Z" manbailing? He exercises options at almost $5 and dumps18,000 shares for $23.50. Why did he not exercise anddump when stock was 29-30. I know he knows somethingbut what? Here I sit with a potentialbath.Can anyone see positives in this?
Don't know that I'd get too concerned. Note thatthe date this took place was also a date for payingestimated tax. Also, exercise of options requires immediatepayment of income tax at ordinary income rates, notcapital gains. So, he has to pay the purchase and the taxall at once.He probably wishes he had done this inApril.Note that another top exec exercised options and keptthem.

I can barely handle his music.. forget about talking
I love that Mac Miller has such enthusiasm about music. Even though he's in the biz, Miller is still a fan, so much so, he even geeks out a bit talking about it.
Mac Miller isn't trying to look hip or cool, dude seems like he's just having a hell of a time doing his thang.
Yeah Mac definitely seems like a real down to Earth cool cat. You can definitely tell he is a true fan and really appreciates the art form. He just does him and makes fun loving Hip Hop songs. Definitely look forward to hearing the song with DJ Premier! Sounds like he has a great working relationship and sweet deal with Rostrum Records, good for him. Excited to see him perform next month in Philly and hearing his next album.

Ron Paananen, the Washington State Department of Transportation project manager for the Highway 99 tunnel project, has accepted a job in Washington, D.C., for private engineering firm CH2M HILL.
Ron Paananen, the Washington State Department of Transportation project manager for the Highway 99 tunnel project, has accepted a job in Washington, D.C., with private engineering firm CH2M HILL.
Paananen has been one of the tunnel's biggest defenders for six years while ushering the project through a contentious public debate.
An expert on the project, he was frequently called on at Seattle City Council meetings and public hearings to answer detailed questions about the project and defend it. Increasingly, he found himself pinned between pro-tunnel city and state officials and tunnel opponents, who sought to discredit him.
Last month, he and other tunnel supporters won a major victory when 58 percent of Seattle's primary-election voters indicated support of the project by approving a referendum.

"Technically, the vote didn't really legally affect the project in a big way, but I think everybody recognizes the significance of the public voting the way they did," Paananen said. "In my mind, they were saying, 'Let's get on with it.' "
CH2M HILL is one of the largest engineering and design firms in the world and frequently does work for the state, although it is not directly involved in the tunnel project.
The company gave $500 to the pro-tunnel referendum campaign, Let's Move Forward, in July. (It also contributed $250 last year to the office fund of anti-tunnel Mayor Mike McGinn.)
Paananen leaves the project at a natural point, with environmental reviews complete, the public process virtually finished, and tunneling set to begin next year.
"In my view, he was the glue that kept the project together and moving through the pretty contentious political events of the project-development phase," said state Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond.
Paananen's job with CH2M HILL will be his first private-sector job after 32 years in government work.
"He's one of the best examples of a public servant that I've run into," said City Councilmember Tim Burgess, a tunnel supporter. "There were times when it was really tough for him. He was on a hot seat, and he handled it incredibly well."
Paananen, 54, said his departure has nothing to do with frustration about the tunnel project to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct, though he said he's had to be "more visible than I ever would have imagined."
As the civic process unfolded, tunnel opponents accused Paananen and his department of playing politics.
However, City Councilmember Mike O'Brien, the council's lone tunnel opponent, praised Paananen for giving him straight answers, even when the two men disagreed.
"One of the things I really admired about Ron is as someone with an engineering background, he was more interested in talking about facts instead of any kind of political spin," he said.
Linea Laird, an engineer who has been working on the Highway 99 project and managed the Tacoma Narrows Bridge project, will replace Paananen, who will leave this month and start his new job Oct. 3.
Another project leader, Bob Powers, who is deputy director of the Seattle Department of Transportation, is leaving his job next week. He is taking a yearlong break to tour the country with his family and after that intends to come back to City Hall.
Seattle has hired Bellevue Transportation Director Goran Sparrman to replace Powers.

as a guinea pig for her studies on sulfur metabolism, often at the risk of her own health. In addition, she was highly resourceful. When she started at the Institute she had neither adequate staffing nor equipment nor funding, with the exception of a $500 grant received in 1939. Only a few years later, Medes had a staff of a dozen assistants and grants totaling $32,000. 9 She published her findings--over 100 articles--in many prominent scientific journals and three books up until only a few months before her death. She also collaborated with other researchers on a number of research projects, including her studies of fatty acid metabolism.
After her retirement in 1956, Medes resumed her research on tyrosinosis at the Fels Research Institute, Temple University, where she was a visiting scientist. Her studies there led to additional publications in the field. Medes continued her work at Fels, even though she was in declining health and suffering from the results of a serious car accident. She died on December 31, 1967, in Philadelphia.
To her friends, Medes was "a woman of simple tastes with a ready smile, whose work and hobby were fused in an interest in biochemistry. She did, none-the-less, take a bit of time for cabinet-making, gardening, and camping." 10 She was also a dedicated sister, caring for a brother in Philadelphia until his death. The niece of her good friend, with whom Medes spent many holidays, quoted her as saying that she "liked to get to bed early and couldn't wait for the next day to come so she could get on with her work." 11

CES 2012: A quick look at Powerbag!
I have had one for a bit and love it! It kills multiple birds with one stone.
So does a 12 gauge
They can. Most of them have a pocket made specifically for a tablet and there is a basic USB plug in there that you plug your tablets charging cord into. Don't actually have one but they have a lot more info on their website. Definately gonna get one
3,6, or 9k mah? With all that room its not impressive.
I have the new Trent 11,000mah pack and got it for $55.00
Seems like a much more logical choice.
Where do I order one of these!!?? Do they have Messenger Bags?
For half the price, acutally a third the price I have a xcell by energizer portable charger AND backpack which holds a lot more then this bag. Granted it doesn't come with cables, but what happens if the cables wear out? Are they replaceable?
I have that bag I love it especially when traveling

Back to Law Rankings
Prestige isn't everything. These are the firms associates find the most amenable to a satisfying work experience.
Which law firms are the best to work for? For some, this is a
far more important consideration than prestige. To determine our
Best 25 Firms to Work For, we used a formula that weighed the most
relevant categories for an overall quality of life ranking. Each
firm's overall score was calculated using the following
* 25 percent satisfaction * 10 percent hours * 10 percent
compensation * 5 percent associate/partner relations * 5
transparency * 5 percent formal training * 5 percent informal
training and mentoring *5 percent pro bono * 5 percent diversity
(overall) * 10 percent business outlook * 5 percent career outlook
* 10 percent substantive work
Like our Vault Law 100 rankings, our quality of life rankings
are meant to reflect the subjective opinions of associates. These
rankings are based on perceptions of insiders--some of whom may be
biased in favor (or against) their firms.
Note: Vault's Best Law Firms to Work For methodology changed for

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Origins Available: Irish, Scottish
The ancestors of the Magee family lived among the Strathclyde people of the Scottish/English Borderlands. Their name is derived from the Gaelic name Aodh, meaning Hugh, and the word mac, meaning son of.
The surname Magee was first found in Dumfriesshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Dhùn Phris), a Southern area, bordering on England that today forms part of the Dumfries and Galloway Council Area, where they held a family seat from early times. The family name Magee first appeared on the census rolls taken by the ancient Kings of Scotland to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
The variation in the spelling of Medieval names is a result of the lack of spelling rules in the English language prior to the last few hundred years. Before that time, scribes spelled according to sound, often varying the spelling of name within a single document. Magee has appeared as MacGee, MacGhie, MacGhee, Magee and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Magee research. Another 203 words (14 lines of text) covering the years 1296, 1331, and 1426 are included under the topic Early Magee History in all our PDF Extended History products.
More information is included under the topic Early Magee Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the Magee family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 287 words (20 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products.
As the persecution of Clan families continued, they sailed for North America in increasing numbers. In most cases, they found the freedom and opportunity they sought. Land was often available and the American War of Independence allowed Scots an opportunity to solidify their independence from the English crown. These settlers and their ancestors went on to play essential roles in the forging of the nations of the United States and Canada. Among them:
Magee Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Magee Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Magee Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Magee Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
Magee Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Magee Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Magee Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
The Magee Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Magee Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Correspondence of Benjamin Franklin, Philadelphia Philosophical Society. Vol. 13. Letter 176
L'ORIENT--March 6th, 1779.
The mystery which you so delicately mention in your much esteemed favor of the 24th. Ult.--it has been my intention for more than Twelve Months past to communicate to you; which however I have put off from time to time on reflecting that the account must give you more pain than pleasure:--yet had I not, on my sudden departure from hence for Paris, inadvertently neglected to take with me the Original Paper wherof the inclosed is a Copy, I cercainly should then have put it into your hands. --The subject at the beginning of the War was communicated to Sundry members of Congress among whom I may mention Mr. Hewes of No. Carolina and Mr. Morris of Philadelphia; and to various other persons in America before and since.--It was the advice of my friends, Govr. Young among many others, when that great Misfortune of my Life happened, that I should retire Incog to the continent of America, and remain there until an Admiralty Commission should arrive in the Island, and then return.--I had waited that event Eighteen Months before Swords were drawn and the Ports of the Continent were Shut. It had been my intention from the time of my misfortune to quit the Sea Service altogether, and, after Standing Trial, as I had the means, to purchase some small tracts of Land on the Continent, which had been my favorite Country from the age of thirteen, when I first saw it.--I had settled my future plan of retirement in "calm contemplation and Poetic ease."--But the revolution in America deranged every thing --and the person with whom I had in Trust left a considerable part of my Effects in the West Indies, had, while the ports were open shewn very little inclination to make me proper Remittances.--Many of my friends had expressed their fears

Stunning Growth, Stubborn Problems
Tatu, Robin, ASEE Prism
Stunning growth, stubborn problems A journalist looks beyond the dynamic IT sector to explore the challenges confronting India. REVIEWED BY ROBIN TATU IN SPITE OF THE GODS: The Strange Rise of Modem India by Edward Luce, Doubleday 2007,400 pages.
WITH INDIA and China grabbing the headlines in daily stories on global development, it's difficult to determine which country is making greater strides. China has emerged as the world's manufacturing giant, whose burgeoning economy already dwarves most others. Yet India has now moved beyond its early outsourcing niche to greater involvement in IT, manufacturing and research and development, with new engineering and technology centers opening apace. In addition, India has achieved tremendous economic growth without imposing state-mandated savings or rigid family-planning; it maintains a free press and independent judiciary and draws upon a rich intellectual tradition. In his new book, In Spite of the Gods, author Edward Luce suggests that as the world's largest democracy, India may demonstrate even greater potential than its neighbor, while providing an important geopolitical counterbalance to China.
With an average annual growth rate of 6 percent over the past decade and a consistent 8 percent in the past four years, the South Asian tortoise seems set to overtake the East Asian hare. Yet progress is still painstakingly slow. Despite tremendous advances, the country is hampered by weak infrastructure, outmoded regulations and crippling social inequalities. While other analysts have discussed these problems, Luce places them at the core of his book. Moving beyond the phenomenon of India's IT sector-whose workers make up a mere one-fourth of 1 percent of the total population-he offers a more comprehensive study of modern India. In Spite of the Gods provides an excellent introduction for anyone wishing to learn more about the complex dynamics of the Asian subcontinent.
As a former South Asia bureau chief for the London Financial Times who lived in India for five years, Luce writes with easy authority and an engaging style. His book is filled with interviews with key political figures, ministers and industry leaders but also with visits to local temples and villages, and discussions with farmers, teenagers, movie stars and army officers. …

Panfilio infuses 'Rita' with hopeful humor
In the opening scene of "Educating Rita," Willy Russell's bittersweet play about a 26-year-old hairdresser trying to start over and the alcoholic literature professor assigned to help her, Rita bounds into Frank's book-lined study for her first lesson.
Her attention is immediately drawn to an ostensibly chaste but erotically charged portrait on the wall, and within the blink of an eye she has offered a bawdy, original and wide-ranging interpretation of how that portrait works. Admitting he hasn't looked at it in years, the best Frank can manage is the bland assessment that it's "beautiful." »Read Full Article

Snow, snow, snow on the mountains. For many of us in the Northwest, the only thing that can get us through the wet months that lay ahead is knowing that if it's raining down here, it's snowing in the mountains!
Because skiing and boarding is such a blast, most of us forget that they are both very intense sports requiring musculoskeletal strength and endurance, cardiovascular fitness, power, flexibility, balance, coordination and agility. All the twisting, jumping, and bashing through the bumps can lead to injuries if your body isn't ready for it — besides if you're not fit, you may risk an embarrassing performance.
Well, this year is going to be different. No longer will you be forced to suffer the humiliation of holding up the rear. And say goodbye to all those post-ski aches and pains. This year you're setting the pace — let's just see if your friends can keep up with you.
After a light warm-up, do these exercises below 3 times per week on alternating days. Do each of the four exercises for one minute with a 30 second table top in between each exercise. That will take you about 6 minutes. Take a 2 minute break, and then do it again. It will only take you 15 minutes, but it should be a fast-paced, intense workout to make it count. Be sure to fit in some running or power walking, stair-climbing, skipping rope or cycling on alternate days for optimal conditioning. These sport-specific exercises will involve a lot of very intense and high-impact movements. Please feel free to omit or modify any of the movements by removing any jumping or movement patterns that do not feel comfortable to you.
Explosive squats: Position your feet about hip or shoulder width apart. Keep your knees caps facing forward and your body weight equally distributed on all four corners of your feet. Now slowly squat down until your upper thighs are parallel to the floor and then quickly explode upward, jumping into the air. Upon landing, be sure to bend your knees to assist in the absorption of impact. Continue for 60 seconds.
Lateral agility drill: Position two cones or props a few feet apart. Now quickly step laterally to the outside of one cone and back to the outside of the other touching down toward the floor on each end. Try to go as fast as you possibly can. Continue for 60 seconds.
Power lunges: Start with one foot in front of the other in a staggered lunge stance. Now quickly jump up, unloading and switching feet. Do this, alternating leg positions, for 60 seconds.
Jumps over the step: Stand on one side of a step or box. Slowly jump over the step, side-to-side, for one minute. You can perform one-legged or two-legged jumps or a combination of both.
Table tops: Perform a 30-second table top in between each of the exercises below. Lay on your stomach propped up onto your elbows. Position your elbows so they are underneath your shoulders. Lift your body up so your weight is completely supported on your elbows and toes. Keep your abdominals contracted and your back in a neutral position, and remember to breathe comfortably.

The vitals on OSU's new indoor facility
•Name: Sherman Smith Training Center, in honor of the alumnus who donated $20 million earmarked for the facility. •Location: Across Hall of Fame from T. Boone Pickens Stadium. •Dimensions: 330 feet, 8 inches north to south and 464 feet, 8 inches east to west. The overall height from the field level to the very top of the roof is 104 feet, 8 inches. "It's not going to be tight from the sidelines to the walls, and there will be a 90-foot clear span in it so you can punt," athletic director Mike Holder said. •Appearance: "It will have a nice brick façade to match the football stadium and Gallaher-Iba Arena," Holder said. "It will have the Georgian architecture that's prominent on our campus." •What it will include: A full-size soccer field and football field and a track straightaway. Space and features for baseball and softball, including batting cage nets that will come from the ceiling. A separate indoor tennis facility is scheduled to come later. •Hurdles to clear before construction can start: Holder says they must finish moving two sewer lines, get the city of Stillwater to vacate the streets and make sure Pickens' fund is at a high level. "If all those things get done and the money's there, we'll start Oct. 1," Holder said. •Who wants it more? "Every time Mike Gundy tells me how important that indoor is and we should put it on the fast track, I said, 'Mike, you don't need to remind us. I know you want it, but Boone Pickens wants it a lot more than you do.'" By Andrea Cohen

The problem with sarcasm, other than making it that much more likely that you'll be mistaken for Matthew Perry at some point in your life, is that you can do it so well (or so poorly) that people don't realize you're joking. Sometimes a sarcastic misfire can make you come across as a cynical asshole or an insensitive prick. Other times it can land your ass in front of a judge.
So please, before you go down this dark road yourself, let the following cautionary tales remind you that a good chunk of the world really doesn't like jokes.
5 Man Jokes About a Bomb in His Luggage, Shuts Down an Airport
On his way home from officiating at a hockey tournament in October 2012, 44-year-old NCAA referee Peter Friesema saw a golden opportunity for comic brilliance when the ticket agent was messing with his bags. You can already guess where this is going: Yes, he made a goddamn bomb joke.
Specifically, after the agent at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport explained that it didn't really matter that she'd put his luggage sticker on his friend's suitcase by mistake because they were going to the same place, Friesema quipped:
"But my friend's bag has a bomb in it!"
"We're still having you detained for being a fucking idiot. Thanks for flying, though."
One Small Problem
Friesema, obviously not a very big Ben Stiller fan, was at an airport ... in America ... in the 21st century. There might be three words in the entire English language that you can't say at an airport, and this grown-ass man just happened to blurt out two of them (he failed to work "jihad" in there).
The Aftermath
Besides being (figuratively) shot down by the agent he was apparently trying to hit on and then having to relive the awkward experience during interviews with (we assume) an entire team of disgruntled security officials, Friesema was also taken to jail, charged with disorderly conduct, and ordered to remain in the Klondike for another six weeks until his next hearing.
The judge was out of town for the Iditarod.
That last part was particularly bad news for Friesema, who claimed that his many years of service enforcing whatever "rules" hockey pretends to abide by would be lost if he couldn't return to Colorado sooner, but, as the judge was eager to point out, the order was indeed justified, given just how disorderly Friesema's conduct had been.
Oh, and thanks to Friesema's quip, the airport's main terminal was shut down for three hours in the middle of a cold Alaska night, causing several costly delays and forcing hundreds of pissed-off passengers (including many who were dressed in summer attire en route from warmer destinations) to shuttle to another terminal, hide out in a rental car garage, or simply huddle up in a freezing arctic doorway for a couple of hours while the FBI double-checked to make sure this really was just an extreme case of failed flirtation and not the most poorly planned and executed terror attack in history.

Itineray was very diverse and balanced, taking us to places we would not have considered as independant travellers. It was great experience, be prepared for the unexpected.

Vienna to Dubrovnik , May 2015
Rebekah Hall
A wonderful trip to cover almost half of Europe. A good balance of environment and experiences. These countries are rich in history that most don't know about! Tricky to pack for as it was a change of season though I did only have carry on luggage and managed to pack all that I needed. Average age for our group was 50+. Highly recommended regardless.

Robison takes new post at Northwest
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life," Confucius said. For Northwest Mississippi Community College's new division director of natural science, there is nothing truer.
Biology instructor Robin Robison has spent his career doing the thing he loves most - teaching science. In August, he was named division director, following the resignation of Dr. Stacy Jones.

Skip to comments.Rep. Charles Rangel says it would be unpatriotic of him to resign amid ethics scandal
Posted on 07/24/2010 3:04:23 PM PDT by Qbert
Embattled Rep. Charles Rangel said Saturday it would be unpatriotic to resign rather than fight his pending ethics charges - despite a call that he do so to save the Democratic party.
"Well, it wouldn't be the American thing to do \[to step aside\]. I think I owe it to the process to find out first what the investigative committee finds out," Rangel told reporters after speaking at Harlem Hospital.
The 80-year-old legendary lawmaker is accused of failing to pay taxes, abusing rent-control rules and trading donations for favors. A public federal trial on Thursday will determine his fate after a two year investigation.
(Excerpt) Read more at nydailynews.com ...
Allright, Charlie. We'll give you a break on the patriotism if you'll give us a break and resign.
Yes, you've certainly served your country "patriotcally" as a corrupt big spending member of Congress
To paraphase, with "patriots" like you, Charlie, who needs enemies?
It would be unpatriotic to resign, but Hari-Kari is not yet socially acceptable in this country.
His heroic stance is bringing a tear to my eye. LOL
we need to keep as many logs on the fire as we can until Nov.
Let him drag this all the way out I say.
I don't know if these Libs are delusional or demonic.
By resigning he keeps benefits and pension.
George Washington, step aside.
Rangel is an idiot. Criminally stupid.
"we need to keep as many logs on the fire as we can until Nov.
Let him drag this all the way out I say."
Agree...I never thought I would say this: "Go, Charlie, Go! Fight till the bitter end!"
What does a lying, thieving, rat traitor care about being unpatriotic...
I am a Kerry- and Geithner-Democrat.
We simply do not pay taxes like small people.
Screw you all for demanding that ANYONE
in the DNC or Obama administration pay their fair share.
* and I mean that in the nicest possible, non-racist way.
Imagine, kicking a Hispafrican-American out of office...
Next to "Dirtbag" in the dictionary I found Rangel's portrait.
Give that man a purple heart and a merit of courageous restraint. LOL
"...Imagine, kicking a Hispafrican-American out of office..."
As well as one of the founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus...
Rangel's going to help a lot of conservatives get elected... I hope he's in every ad run in the North East...
After reading numerous reports on this affair, it seems that the dems have been trying to broker a deal with ole Charlie for some time now - months at least, and he has refused all of the deals.
He clearly thinks that there is something to be gained by this stonewalling or he wouldn't do it, so it will be interesting to see what plays out in the coming weeks & months.
what an A hole
let him fight it out. in fact, he should force the house to vote before the dems lose their majority in the house . . . it would be a useful spectacle to have before the election.
Rangel wouldn't know patriotism if it hit him over the head. The man is a disgrace and a traitor.
Go Charley GO!
This is some dirty laundry that needs to be aired and who better to air it than a guy that knows where "ALL" of the skeletons are buried.
Hope the trial lasts till September and Obama's Birth Certificate somehow gets mentioned...
Chrarles The Cheater Rangel has proven he is unpatriotic as they come by circumventing the tax laws he put in place to hurt the AMerican people. He should be shot for treason.
I'm sure Uncle Charlie is thrilled that he will finally get to present his case in a fair, public forum!
Pack plenty of clean undies, Charlie.
The thing that still bothers me is why did this happen to Charlie now, after many years of bad behavior, playing fast and loose with the law, etc.
What makes him the focus of this attention now, rather than six years ago? Or sixteen years ago? What changed? Who did he tick off?
As pointed in another thread, Charlie is paying his lawyers with campaign funds thus he has to keep running and win, so he can keep paying them with other people's money. It was reported that so far his lawyers bill is up to $1.7 million.
I'm sure Uncle Charlie is thrilled that he will finally get to present his case in a fair, public forum!

Actually, knocking the Democrat Party down a few notches for this election is a pretty patriotic thing to do. Thanks, Chuck!
Does it really matter, the 80-year-old legendary crook will never get what he deserves. Even if they find him guilty he will go off laughing with his millions.
"we need to keep as many logs on the fire as we can until Nov.
Let him drag this all the way out I say."
I couldn't agree more. I like having Charlie wandering the halls of congress under the black cloud of continuous and ongoing ethics investigations. I like the expose articles where they find out more dishonest crap he's done, and I like the interviews where he says really stupid stuff.
Hi-de-Hi-de Ho Chuckie!
That lying POS has the nerve to pull out the 'Patriotic" card?????
Hubris......sheer hubris......
Don't resign Charley. Stand on your principles...all the way through November.
The BIG question here is "Why is the 1960s radical faction of the Democrats trying to force Rangel out of office?"
Committee chairmanships are generally strictly by seniority, and Rangel is fourth in the House in seniority. This made him chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, that controls US tax law.
But the #3 congressman by seniority is Dave Obey, who is a complete toady and lickspittle of Nancy Pelosi. He is in charge of the MOST powerful committee, Appropriations. That committee determines the entire US budget, where all the money goes.
And Dave Obey is not running for re-election. This would mean that, if the Democrats kept control, Charlie Rangel could tell Nancy Pelosi to stick it in her ear, and he might, because he is not part of the 1960s radical faction.
That would mean that the Obama agenda would be co-opted by the Rangel agenda. And the 1960s radical faction does NOT want that to happen.
So they are going to force Charlie Rangel out of his "right" to have that chair, and maybe congress itself.
Fortunately for Rangel, the next most senior Democrat is Pete Stark of California, who is obnoxious and nobody likes, because of "his sometimes bizarre behavior and penchant for making offensive comments." The Democrat after Stark is another California 1960s radical factioneer.
Don't forget, fat, drunk Teddy Kennedy got away with murder as well as DWI and got to keep his seat until the day he died.
Look at Marion Barry...
He can't even tell a good lie. They have been in "negociations" for a month. Ofcourse he knows what they have on him. He better take his potted plants advice and SHUT UP.
His criminal acts were taken out of context. He will be getting a public service award instead.
I'll remember that line the next time a Republican is accused of something or other.
"Well, it wouldn't be the American thing to do ..."
Said the fox to the hens :-(

Get Physical in the Science Lab
Byline: SARAH SNYDER
THE inquiring mind is always asking itself questions.
It wonders how animals communicate, why the sky is blue and what makes cling wrap cling.
It wants to know how to produce a weather forecast, design an economical car or improve eyesight.
Physics is about finding the answers. It deals with how and why things behave as they do, from the tiniest particles to the complexities of the universe.
Sue Jackson read physics at Birmingham University and loved it so much that she stayed on after her BSc degree to study for a PhD.
She says: 'One of the most exciting aspects of the course involved a challenging experiment and a day in which to come up with our own solutions.
It was all so different from schooldays when the teacher had most of the exciting tasks.
'One of our first-year projects was to develop an accurate way of measuring room temperature, unaffected by draughts and other variations across the room.
'We came up with a resistance thermometer that measures changing electrical resistance in the room and carried out studies to assess its accuracy.' Projects such as these involve working closely with others, developing strategies and procedures, testing and finally evaluating the outcome. It is a satisfying process and it lies at the heart of the way a physicist thinks. Sue says: 'The university has excellent links with industry, which helps to draw out the relevance of academic physics to the real world.
'One of our projects involved working on ''Mr Squid'', an American device that measures tiny magnetic signals such as a foetal heartbeat or brain waves. We looked at properties such as their electrical behaviour, tested the impact of applying a magnetic field and worked out how to calibrate them accurately.
Rigorous 'We were at the cutting edge of new and important technology, which gave us a rigorous introduction to life as a research physicist.' Sue's tutor told her about a research programme to study the latest form of ice to be discovered.
There are 12 forms of ice crystal, of which the hexagonal snowflake shape is only one. …

Doing a little traveling I noticed INSM was dropping but guessed it was only pulling back after the recent run. Now I see that Fuerstein has apparently been courted by a group of Insmed shorts to do his best to raise concerns about the eventual success of arikace, and he does it so well!! I didn't see a single lie in his story,, ,, it's just that he doesn't tell the whole story.
In particular this statement: "Generally speaking efficacy analyses conducted on ITT or mITT populations are more conservative." That is true because The vast majority of efficacy analyses are looking for superiority, or at least equivalency!! When it comes to non inferiority studies, ITT and mITT are actually anti conservative, especially when dealing with antibiotics, and even more especially when dealing with antibiotics within a small patient population. In non inferiority studies involving antibiotics per protocol is the most conservative method. Certainly don't trust me - simply google some of the key terms.
i.e. from PubMed: Abstract
While the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis is widely accepted for superiority trials, there remains debate about its role in non-inferiority trials. It is often said that the ITT tends to be anti-conservative in the demonstration of non-inferiority.
So.....where you staying in Vegas?
OM Gosh....I've been to that cess pool so many times that this is the first year we missed an Anesthesia conference because it was there.

Speaking at an event for the children of military personnel and veterans, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff broke into song, even getting the youth on the panel to join in, writes The Hill.
Four-star Gen. Martin Dempsey has been invited back each year, and each year he answers questions and performs for the audience — so they must like it, he reasoned.
Mediate reports what led to the general's act this time:
It began when Dempsey was answering a question about how failure is a necessary learning experience for everybody who faces life's challenges. "It's like Chumbawamba," the general said, referring to the song Tubthumping. "I get knocked down, and I get up again."
Even though he claimed they were trying to get him off the stage, it is clear everyone enjoyed the entertainment. The event was broadcast on C-Span.

Democrats assemble the circular firing-squad on the Public Option
This is kind of funny. The Senate Finance Committee is going to vote this week on an amendment that would add a public option to their health care bill. If you are a Democrat, it sounds good so far, right? But the authors of the amendment, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), have stated that they know the amendment will not pass in the committee. So why are they forcing an amendment that will only serve to embarrass their fellow Democrats? Well, to embarrass their fellow Democrats, of course.
The spotlight this week will continue on the Senate Finance Committee, where amendments to add the public insurance option will be offered by Democratic Sens. Jay Rockefeller (W.Va.) and Chuck Schumer (N.Y.). . . .
The Finance committee votes, which could come as early as this week, promise to be discomfiting for both liberals and Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), the embattled chairman of the Finance panel who is likely to vote against them. . . .
Rockefeller, Schumer and likeminded liberal senators begrudgingly acknowledge the votes are not there in the committee for the public option.
But they intend to force their colleagues to take a stand on the issue and possibly face the wrath of powerful interests such as labor unions and grassroots liberal activists.
So the Democrats are throwing their own guys overboard like chum to the union sharks. Sounds good to me. This is a Republican dream-plan being executed by Liberals.
And the Democrats' problems are just beginning in the Senate Finance Committee. The Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee will have a strong public option in its bill and Harry Reid will have to decide what goes to the floor for a final vote. Will it be the public option, co-ops, or something else? The centrist Dems will jump ship on the public option and the liberals will accept nothing short of one.
Then there is the problem in the House.
In the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) isn't having any easier a time despite having a large majority dominated by liberals. The centrist voting bloc, led by the Blue Dog coalition, is holding its ground against the public option. . . .
It's not clear whether Pelosi will have the votes to win a healthcare vote on the floor if the public option is not included in the bill. But it's also not clear she'll win a vote with the public option, since Republicans are expected to vote en masse against the bill.
I would simply advise that if the Democrats are going to go with the circular firing squad, they should be sure to take careful aim.
