Evidence in the Talaija Dorsey murder case in New Orleans will be withheld from the public, St. James Parish Sheriff Willy Martin said. The fiance of Telaija's mother is suspected of killing her daughter after she went missing last Thursday. Talaija's body was found in a sugar cane field around a thick, grassy area on Sunday. The suspect, John Celestine, 43, is charged with first-degree murder, The Town Talk reports July 9.
Martin says of the evidence against Celestine:
"I know this is going to be a critical case … We're being extremely cautious we don't reveal evidence publicly."
Martin goes on to say that Celestine's answers to questions he was asked were inconsistent. Law enforcement believe he was lying based on information they learned about his routine on July 1, when Talaija Dorsey went missing.
As the questioning pressed on, Martin shares:
"Then he got to the point he didn't want to talk to us."
The state crime lab worked tirelessly on getting results fast. Martin reveals that the DA thought he had enough evidence against Celestine to get an indictment. A grand jury was presented with evidence Tuesday. Prior to the discovery of Dorsey's body, Celestine was held on charges of obstructing justice and false communication. Bond was set at $100,000 for each of the charges.
A pair of Talaija's slippers were out of place in a minivan being used as makeshift storage unit and was a red flag in the case against Celestine.
Emma Dorsey's brother, Lawrence Smith, Jr., tells The Advocate that she and her five children lived with John Celestine five years and have been engaged for two. The two youngest children are who they had together and the three others -- including Talaija -- were from a previous relationship Emma had.
Celestine reportedly has other kids in Louisiana and Texas, according to Smith. Those who knew the murder suspect recall him as someone keeping to himself and never had friends over to his house.
Will John Celestine be found guilty for the murder of Talaija Dorsey?

SEATTLE, Wash. -- Cougars Matt Mason and Marie Muai broke Washington State University indoor field event records at the University of Washington-hosted Pac-10 Invitational Track & Field Meet Saturday, at the Dempsey Indoor Facility.
Mason, a junior who transferred to WSU at the start of spring semester, won the long jump with a facility record and an NCAA Automatic Qualifying mark of 25-feet, 10 inches (7.87m). Mason's leap eclipsed the WSU indoor school long jump record of 25-9 1/4 set by Bill Ayears in 1988. Mason, from Marietta, Ga., also finished second in the 60m hurdles Saturday with a time of 7.91 but ran an NCAA Provisional Qualifying time of 7.80 last week in Nebraska.
Muai, a junior from Tacoma, Wash., bettered her 20-pound weight throw school record by two inches with a toss of 62-10 (19.15m) for third place in the meet. She threw this school record with her first attempt in the competition Saturday.
While Mason was the only Cougar winner at the meet, WSU athletes bettered 32 lifetime-best marks.
In women's competition, Nicole Hatcher (sophomore, Kennewick, Wash.) was fourth in the 60m dash (7.69) and fifth in the 200m dash with a season-best time of 24.96. Nicole McClendon (freshman, Granada Hills, Calif.) improved both her 60m (7.95) and 200m (25.50) dash times with seventh and eighth-place finishes respectively. Brandi Probasco-Canda (freshman, Portland, Ore.) was seventh in the 200m (25.26).
Seniors Louise Akesson (Lyckeby, Sweden) and Monique Jessie (Compton, Calif.) finished fifth and sixth in the 400m dash with times of 56.88 for Akesson and 57.05 for Jessie. Diana Pickler (sophomore, Sachse, Texas) took fifth place in the 60m hurdles (8.58) and tied for fifth in the high jump with teammate Robin Mikesh (sophomore, Sumner, Wash.) at the height of 5-5 3/4 (1.67m).
The Cougar women's 4x400m relay ran a season-best time of 3:44.61 for second place. The squad consisted of Jessie, Angelita Green (senior, Long Beach, Calif.), Probasco-Canda and Akesson, with Probasco-Canda running a 54.2 third leg.
Blessing Ufodiama (senior, Long Beach, Calif.) competing in both the long and triple jumps for the first time this year, finished seventh in the long jump (18-9 3/4) and second in the triple jump at 40-9 3/4. Last week at Nebraska, Ufodiama set the school indoor triple jump record with an NCAA PQ mark of 42-3 1/2 (12.89).
In men's events, Martin Boston (sophomore, Hayward, Calif.) had a good day with a third-place finish in the 60m dash in a time of 6.90, but ran a PR of 6.88 in the prelims. Boston also ran a PR in the 200m with an eighth-place finish time of 22.01.
Dione Cason (redshirt sophomore, Long Beach, Calif.) had a very good day with a fourth-place finish in the 400m in a PR time of 48.03. Freshman John Cassleman (Pullman, Wash.) finished eighth in the 400m with a PR time of 48.13.
The men's 4x400m relay team of Cason, Lamarr Kirk (junior, Los Angeles), Cassleman and Qieed Ishmael (senior, Richmond, Va.) ran a season-best time of 3:13.38 for second place.
"Coaches Ellannee Richardson and Mark Macdonald are doing a great job with the sprinters and hurdlers," Sloan said. "All seven Cougar men in the 400m ran season-bests today and five of them ran lifetime bests. The 4x400m relay had a great run with Qieed running a 47.7 time in the anchor leg. This relay will get even faster when Matt Mason is thrown into the mix."
In the men's field events, Matt Alverson (senior, Everett, Wash.) finished sixth in the high jump with a clearance at 6-4 3/4 (1.95m). Following Mason's win in the long jump, WSU's Alex Jones (junior, Clovis, Calif.) placed seventh with a leap of 22-5 1/4 (6.84m). In the triple jump, Ben Hampton (sophomore, Kennewick, Wash.) finished fifth (14.63m/48-0) and Peter Rizzardi (senior, Seattle) was seventh (14.38m/47-2 1/4).
Tim Gehring (senior, Kettle Falls, Wash.), coming off a injured back, finished fourth in the shot put with a toss of 60-6 (18.44m).
"Overall I'm happy with a lot of the marks we got out of this meet and I'm happy with the way people are competing," Cougar Head Coach Rick Sloan said. "Our objective now is to get back to work and get the next two weeks under our belt and get prepared for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships."
The Cougars men's and women's team will compete at the Vandal Indoor Meet, Feb. 20, and at the McDonald's Open Meet, Feb. 20-21, both at the Kibbie Dome at Moscow, Idaho. The MPSF Indoor Championships take place Feb. 26-28, back at the Dempsey Indoor Facility on the University of Washington campus.

Born into a commune in central Australia, jayechristopher (local word meaning "swollen river") never knew exactly who his parents were. The middle child, in what was registered as a three-child family, he lived there until his late teens. Jumping various ships and backpacking, jayechristopher visited many places, trekking and learning several different cultures. Returning to Australia in his early 20s, he settled into a farming community in New South Wales. With no formal education, he has had to rely on Spell Check for most of his short writing career. He is the author of the hugely overlooked Sneaky Guide To… series of books. He has no children and thinks it's safer this way. Hoping to avoid ever being famous – and so far doing an excellent job at this – he one day plans to retire to Malta, with or without money. His favourite colour is red because it's easy to spell.

LM Otero, AP
INDIANAPOLIS — NCAA President Mark Emmert has spent 2 years trying to push through historic reforms and get tougher on cheaters.
It's only created more problems.
Today, Emmert presides over an organization that is struggling to maintain credibility with the public, is tied up in multiple court cases and is tainted by an embarrassing internal scandal. He has been criticized for his governing style and personality. There have been questions surrounding the work he did in previous jobs and whether he overstepped his authority in punishing Penn State for the Jerry Sandusky scandal. He drew fire for pinning blame for the debacle in the Miami investigation on enforcement officials and some question whether he should lead the NCAA through its next major overhaul — fixing the governance structure.
Critics contend there is only way to only one way to restore the NCAA's tattered image: Find a new president.
"He should have been gone yesterday, as far as I'm concerned," said Gerald Gurney, Oklahoma's senior associate athletic director for academics and a former compliance director at Maryland. "He's absolutely unable to get anything through the NCAA system. Every time one of his proposals is voted down, that's like a vote of no confidence. If he can't get his ideas across to membership, he ought to leave."
Emmert has ignored the growing calls for his resignation and he doesn't sound like a man planning to leave any time soon.
In February, the board of directors gave the embattled president an unusual public vote of confidence. A few days later, NCAA executive committee chairwoman Lou Anna Simon, Michigan State's president, offered her personal backing. Emmert took those moves as an endorsement of his agenda, so that's been his primary concern over the last 5 months.
"I've certainly not considered resigning and I've always felt that I had the good, strong support of my board and my executive committee. As long as we continue to make progress on behalf of student-athletes, then I want to be part of that," Emmert told The Associated Press. "Have I done things in ways that were inappropriate or frustrated people by mistakes I have made? Of course. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to stop doing these things. That's not the way I operate."
The public perception is that Emmert is in charge of a college sports world spinning out of control while the governing body tries to dig out from one of the bleakest 13-month spans in its history.
There were the salacious scandals at Penn State and Miami, reports of academic fraud at Auburn and North Carolina and now charges that Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel violated NCAA rules by selling autographs. The Miami case was particularly damaging — with the NCAA afoul of its own guidelines in investigating Nevin Shapiro's allegations, many fans started asking if anybody could play by the rules?
Emmert's push for speedy reforms has also been dramatically slowed.
The optional four-year scholarship he supported barely survived an override vote last year. The Emmert-backed $2,000 stipend did not. An override petition in December 2011 ended the opportunity to give athletes money above and beyond the cost of tuition, room and board, books and fees. Emmert has repeatedly said there would be a new proposal, though none has been offered. The rule-book rewrite hasn't gone as quickly or been quite as far-reaching as hoped, either.
Meanwhile, a group of current and former athletes led by Ed O'Bannon is suing the NCAA for allowing their images and likenesses to be used in a video game. If the athletes win, the amateurism rules policing college sports may never be the same. Another federal lawsuit accuses the NCAA of being lax in establishing clear policies regarding concussions.
Legal observers believe the NCAA could lose either case or both with payouts potentially costing millions.

I read someone's blog post the other day. I could feel the frustration in her post and could relate to it so well. The truth is that I remember that feeling far too well. I remember feeling trapped in my own body and feeling like there was nothing I could do about it. It was a reality check in 2007 when I started WW. For the first time in so many years, I truly realized what I was doing to my body…the only one I had been given. At 4'10", I was 200-ish pounds. After finally seeing what I was doing, with the bacon potato wedges, Jumbo Jacks with cheese and mayo, the Bacon Egg Crescents, Taco Supremes, Nachos Bell Grande, Burrito Supremes, etc. It was scary to me to finally put a number (calorie and points, at that time) to what I had been putting in my mouth/body. When I did, my body started to change. I began, slowly, to change what I was eating and my body began to change. You would think that I should be at my goal weight by now…I can honestly say I am not. I am a work in progress. I had lost down to the high 150's and was feeling good, but I was working out and eating right. The pounds were coming off. Then life happened. I found a special someone, I changed jobs and was no longer close to my gym and didn't have my workout buddy and the support system I had changed. All the changes took their toll on me, for the worst and I gained most of my weight back. I have not since been able to get back into the workout routine that I had going on at the time, but I'm doing my best to at least do SOMETHING several days per week. I am hoping that I will again have a great workout buddy again at some point soon. What I can say now is that I am again paying attention to what is going into my mouth and trying to move. Sometimes, as I started learning in 2007, it takes flipping that switch from negative to positive and not focusing on what you can't do, but on what you can. When I first started out, I could barely do 5 minutes on the elliptical. Now, I've done as much as 35 minutes at one time. I love the way my body feels after I have worked out. I know as I keep moving my body, the pain in my joints will lessen because it won't have nearly so much weight to carry around. I am just under 4 pounds down since re-committing to Weight Watchers. It may not seem like much, but it is a start. And with each pound I lose and each meal or snack that I make the choice to pick a healthier option…or even if I don't and I eat something high calorie, I know what I have to do to get back on track. I don't eat the high fat/calorie foods all the time. It is all about progress not perfection. Each day may not be perfect and there may be some slips and falls, but if I get up and continue on, it is a step in the right direction.

If though life happens we have to be able to roll with the punches. If I don't workout then I can't go eat that beautiful jack daniels burger with fries at Friday's several times a week. I can't have pancakes for breakfast everyday with bacon & sausage. I mean, I am not where I want to be but I am so thankful to God that I am not where I could be..... Be encouraged!
God bless,

Accountability. That is the word in taking care of yourself, accountable for anything to goes into your mouth, accountable for how active you make the body go and accountable for how much you appreciate that body at any weight you are and will be.

I'm new to Ubuntu and am using 11.04. I've been trying to Skype with a friend for a week now and my microphone isn't working. I didn't have this problem using Windows, so it's not the internal microphone. I also tried plugging in an external microphone, and that didn't work either. I've played around in sound settings and finally got the external microphone to work in both Skype and sound recorder, but it has a drastic lag in both. My voice ends up sounding really slowed down and deep to the other person. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

It is perfectly acceptable to pick our your boyfriend's outfit if you are the one who's invited him to a public function, such as a charity event or office gathering. And should you pick out a new suit for him to wear, finish off the ensemble with this Sterling Silver Filigree Tie Pen ($52). Pick out a high-quality sky blue tie, pair it all with some royal blue trouser socks, and you'll have yourself some potential marriage material on your hands...so long as he keeps his mouth shut.

Jimmy Fallon replaced Jay Leno on the Tonight Show and hosted it himself for the first time Monday night. Before beginning the show, Fallon came out to introduce himself and tell the audience a little back story on his life. He said that when he was younger he would always beg his parents to let him stay up to watch some of the Tonight Show. Fallon says that he hopes he will make such a success with the Tonight Show that kids will be begging their parents to let them stay up just to watch him.
Jimmy Fallon tells the audience how this is the first time in 40 years that the Tonight Show is broadcasting from New York. He does go on to thank previous hosts to the Tonight Show claiming if it wasn't for them, the show wouldn't be possible. He introduced The Roots band who helped with Fallon's introduction. The Roots band originates from Philadelphia and they have many other opportunities to do other work with their music; but they chose to work with Fallon.
The audience is told how the show will progress with him as host. He tells them that the news will come on and he will come out afterwards reading jokes about the news from cue cards. He says he is there to help people end the day right before they go off to bed and begin another day.
Will Smith comes on the Tonight Show as Fallon's first guest ever. The two of them start off by dancing various dances together. A few that Smith and Fallon moved to were the Robot, Cabbage Patch, Stanky Leg, The Dougie and they ended it with Jimmy Fallon Twerking. Once Fallon began Twerking Smith looked at him with embarrassment before walking off stage.
Smith expresses his excitement for Fallon's hosting opportunity and thinks he will do well with it. Fallon asked for advice from Smith considering Smith has been in acting since he was a teenager. Smith simply told Jimmy Fallon to not worry about it because the audience is here to see him. He goes on to say that he tells his kids that you must be in this business with your heart. There are so many people who fail because they are in the business for all the wrong reasons, Smith told Fallon.
Fallon had a strong start during his first Tonight Show last night. The audience and his fans seem to love him as the Tonight Show's host and it is clear he will bring in a different view by being broadcasted in New York. Jimmy Fallon told the audience that he would do his best to not let the Tonight Show's fans down.

Leftover plastic bags are super useful in a pinch. They're also hideously ugly and possess the remarkable ability to split open at the exact worst moment. These Corner Store Leather Bags ($180) don't really live up to the convenience of the original, but they're certainly hardier, and, darn it, they make us smile.

The holidays are over and now a new season will begin: wedding planning season! The New Years and Christmas has become a popular time to get engaged. If you are a creative couple or just want to save money, doing a lot of the details of the wedding yourself may be an option to explore. Think about making your own centerpieces.
When making your own centerpieces, use mostly inexpensive materials, but then use a few more expensive materials to give the illusion of being an expensive arrangement. Create the base material with a stout, dry material, that is hearty and can be arranged well ahead of time without dying before the big day. Then the day of your wedding place a few fresh roses, tulips or other more expensive flower into the arrangement. Some different materials and floras you may want to consider for your arrangements are:
- Succulents or cactus plants.
- Duct tape flowers or duct tape wrapped containers
- Second hand jewelry or gem stones
- Pine cones or rustic wood
- Origami or handmade pinwheels
- Seeds, sand or beads
- Fruit in water
- Shells, stones and drift wood
- Paper lanterns
- Rope or cords
- Crocheted doilies or other lace, mod-podged into orb shapes

–Edge recently took part in a radio interview on 97.9/105.5 KISS-FM and revealed that he asked to have Christian induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. He went on to explain:
"That's who I want it to be, and when asked, that's who I said it needs to be. That was the last I heard, so I'm gonna assume that it's him. To me, that's what makes sense. How can it be anybody else, y'know?
If it wasn't him, I'd want it to be someone completely random and nonsensical and just like, have Mae Young induct me."

The Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) has long been encouraged for use in the group exercise setting in addition to heart rate checks. But in recent years, it has increasingly become the primary means for determining how hard you are working. Considering the margin of errors and the time required to explain and take heart rate checks, instructors have gradually eliminated stopping at the peak of class to do a pulse check. It has also become the primary means of measuring exercise effort in exercise video workouts.
In 1982, Gunnar Borg developed a scale for monitoring intensity based on how hard you feel you are working.
The original Borg scale ranged from 6 to 20:
6 to 11 (very,very light) – essentially the range for warm-up and cool-down
12 to 13 (somewhat hard) approximately 60% MHR
16 (between hard and very, hard) – approximately 90%
(Pollock, Wilmore and Fox 1984 ).
In 1986, the American College of Sports Medicine revised it to a scale of 0 to 10 with zero being "nothing" and 10 being "very, very heavy – almost max". (Source- ACE Instructor Manual)
Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale
0 Nothing at all
0.5 Very, very weak
1 Very weak
2 Weak
3 Moderate
4 Somewhat strong
5 Strong
7 Very strong
10 Very, very strong
Source: Borg, G.V. (1982) Psychological basis of perceived exertion. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 14, 377-381. American College of Sports Medicine
With this version of the modified Borg Scale, to be working in your aerobic or training zone, you would want to rate your effort between 3 and 7. If intensity or interval training's your goal, you would push up to and beyond 8 during the work efforts.
In some classes or other situations, the scale may be even further modified to a 1 to 5: 1 being nothing, 2 light, 3 moderate, 4 hard, and 5 very hard.
Reebok University made an attempt to further simplify it with Effort Scales for cardio vascular training using a 1 to 4 scale – (2012 update: this scale never really took hold in application)
Exertion Level 1 – Light to moderate effort. Mild increase in breathing rate.
Exertion Level 2 – Moderate effort. Noticeable increase in breathing.
Exertion Level 3 – Moderate to hard effort. Noticeable increase in depth/rate breathing. Difficulty talking in full sentences.
Exertion Level 4 – Hard to extremely hard effort. Unable to talk at all. Gasping slightly for breath.
While the RPE scale is considered to be fairly reliable as a means to measure intensity, approximately 10% of the population tends to over or under rate their exertion (Morgan 1981). Therefore it was not encouraged to be used as the sole means for determining exercise intensity.
The "Talk Test"
During an "aerobic" exercise session, one should be able to carry on a somewhat stilted conversation, if you are indeed "with oxygen" – which is what the word "aerobic" means.
If you are gasping for air and unable to talk, you are most likely working at or beyond the anaerobic "without oxygen" threshold – a very, very, very hard intensity level at or beyond at the high end of their aerobic zone.
If you can sing the entire Star Spangled Banner and hit the high note with ease – you are probably not exerting much effort – and you have a great musical range! If you can sing Row Row Row your Boat, but have to take a breath after every other word, then you are probably working pretty hard!
While these methods of reading intensity level are subjective, they tend to be good ways to help participants judge and adjust their level of exertion according to their fitness goals.
Furthermore, with improved fitness level, the resting heart will change to reflect the improvement – using the Karvonen formula, one would need to refigure resting heart rate after a period of time to recalculate their target heart rate. But with perceived exertion, as their body adapts to the challenges, they will tend to judge their level accordingly.
Although these 2 methods tend to be more practical and time efficient for group fitness settings, it is still the current recommendation to use a variety of methods – including target heart rate checks – to monitor exercise intensity.
While some insight has been offered relevant to the decreased practice of the use of target heart rate checks in group exercise, it is not to be implied that using this standard of measurement is ineffective or inappropriate. The reality is that instructors tend to be pre-occupied with all the other details of teaching a class and, over the years, heart rate monitoring has become less of a priority, primarily due to time restraints.
If you are taking classes where exercise intensity is not measured, you are unsure of how hard you really are working, you have a medical reason for knowing your target heart rate range and how hard you're working, or if you simply need incentive to push a little harder, let your instructor know about your needs.
Your other option is to get a heart rate monitor and let it give you the feedback needed to work appropriate to your fitness goals.

"Good" food is expensive. Chicken, fish, berries, avocados, nuts, fresh produce, fresh fruit.... I used to NOT spend the money on those things, with the mindset that I "couldn't" spend that kind of money on stuff that would disappear down my throat. But NOW after a year of shutting up about it and JUST DOING IT...I realize several things.
1. My budget hasn't even noticed the extra 'expense' of quality food to put inside my body. Because I'm treating myself to these beautiful, natural, God-made, colorful foods, I am more appreciative of it, I eat less, and I do not "blow" other money on Taco Bell, Wendy's and Burger King drive thrus. I'm worth so much more than that.
2. Even if I had to cut out something else in order to "afford" an extra $40/week on fresh produce/fish at the grocery store, it would be so worth it. So many people comment on my skin now...how it "glows" and it so "clear". What do you use? they ask. I use any old moisturizer from Avon...but the key is the fresh fruit and veges, and especially my avocados, which I love. I eat 1/2 avocado just about every day and that = clear, creamy skin :)
3. I would have argued these points last year BEFORE I TRIED IT. Now I KNOW. Now I won't ever go back to putting any crap in my grocery cart! If you told me over a year ago that I wouldn't be relying heavily on LeanCuisine and Weight Watchers for lunches...I'd have said well, what do you expect me to eat? Fast food? Nope...now I take a little time planning meals and lovingly making them for a very special person....me! Whole wheat pasta w/ veges, lots of salads, homemade sushi...just to name a few. Yummy.
4. I treat myself better every minute of every day BECAUSE of how much thought, money, time I put into my "machine" (my body). If you buy an expensive car...you wanna take care of it, right? I am so much nicer, calmer, happier, quick to laugh, than I was a year ago. Who knew?
5. For way too long I was overweight, unhappy, depressed...but too unmotivated to do anyting about it. Because yes, it is work. BUT, it is the work of your LIFE. And now that I've jumped right in....I love swimming!
6. I think I learned that I could either stay pitiful, or get powerful. But not both. Now, I am powerful. What about you? You have to either put up, or shut up.

I agree eating healthier has benefitted my skin as well as my disposition. I feel healthy and my outlook is sunnier. It is sad that the healthy stuff cost more as that also increases the cost of healthcare for everyone because there are many families particularly lately that can't afford fish, fruit and vegitables and must settle for "junk food" anf the result is poor health and an obesity epidemic.

Nice to see you back!
Yup, making my own meals is very key to my success. Even the best processed foods aren't the same as home made; they just can't be.
But . . . 1/2 avocado every day? I know they're the good fat, but that still seems like a lot. Altho my sking doesn't glow, I must admit. I love avocado, but I always buy them & then don't end up using them.

I'm totally there with you.. I find I don't even crave the countless choc chip cookies, chips and whatever else garbage I used to eat.. and in the long run you end up saving money.. I used to buy all this processed food.. and I thought I was saving money.. Now I'll gladly pay a dollar an apple or pepper if it means I don't need fast food or chocolate! I am satisfied with a cup of cocoa and cooking at home is fun! I used to hate cooking because I found it depressing because I didn't have the stuff to make most of the stuff in the cookbooks... I do now.. and if I don't I can run to the store and just get the mushrooms.. (fresh) it's much more satisfying.. I'm in much better control of myself and I know I'm a lot healthier too...
I feel a lot better.. no more food coma... and way way more energy.. YAY me.. YAY you.. we finally grew up!

Duluth, Ga. - UCLA earned its third-highest NCAA Championships score ever, recording 197.750, but it wasn't enough at this year's NCAA Championships, which went to Alabama for the second-straight year. The Crimson Tide scored a tenth higher than the Bruins, 197.850, clinching the victory with a 9.95 on beam by its last competitor, Ashley Priess. Florida finished .025 ahead of the Bruins in second place with a score of 197.775. UCLA finished in third, followed by Stanford (197.5), Utah (197.375) and Arkansas (196.3).
The Bruins received monster performances by Vanessa Zamarripa, who scored a career-high 39.775 in the all-around and her sixth career perfect 10 on vault, and Samantha Peszek, who earned a career-high 39.675 in the all-around and career-bests on bars (9.925) and beam (9.95).
The competition went down to the wire in the final rotation. The luck of the draw had UCLA in the locker room in the last rotation after finishing up with a final score of 197.75. Florida needed to score 49.4 on floor exercise to overtake the Bruins, and Alabama needed 49.425 on balance beam to move ahead of UCLA. The last competitor for both the Gators and Crimson Tide decided UCLA's final placement. Florida's Kytra Hunter needed 9.9 to push them ahead of the Bruins, and she scored 9.925, but Preiss finished up on beam for Alabama with the meet-winning 9.95.
"We were committed to having a great time and leaving it all on the floor and having no regrets, and that's what we did," said UCLA head coach Valorie Kondos Field.
UCLA had a solid start on floor exercise in the first rotation, scoring 49.35. Leadoff scores of 9.85 by Tauny Frattone and 9.875 by Zamarripa helped set the tone. Olivia Courtney and Peszek had the team's high marks with a pair of 9.9s, and Alyssa Pritchett added a 9.825.
The Bruins got the momentum flowing on vault in the second rotation, scoring 49.525 thanks to five stuck vaults and Zamarripa's perfect 10, the sixth of her career. The rotation started with three straight sticks, from Kaelie Baer (9.825), Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs (9.85) and Peszek (9.9). Courtney added a 9.875, and Frattone (9.9) and Zamarripa (10.0) closed with a pair of stuck vaults to bring UCLA's two-event total to 98.875.
While UCLA sat on a bye in the third rotation, both Alabama and Florida moved ahead of the Bruins. Alabama scored 49.625 on vault to put the Crimson Tide in first at the halfway mark with 99.075. Florida scored 49.425 on bars to inch ahead of UCLA with 98.9. Stanford on beam and Utah on floor each scored 49.325 to remain tied in fourth with 98.675. Arkansas sat in sixth with 98.4.
The Bruins went big on uneven bars in the fourth rotation, tying their season high with a 49.475. Zamarripa earned a perfect 10 from one judge on her routine and finished with a 9.95. Peszek tied her career-high with a 9.925, Aisha Gerber scored 9.9, Courtney scored 9.875, and Mattie Larson earned 9.825.
UCLA moved to beam to close its competition in rotation five. After a fabulous save by Gerber kept her on her feet after missing a foot on her dismount, Baer tied her career-high for the second-straight night, scoring 9.875. Larson earned 9.9, and Zamarripa earned a season-best 9.95. Peszek closed with a career-high 9.95 to give the Bruins a 49.4 total.

This show of watercolours by artist Pat Stanley explores the endurance and ever-changing beauty of the natural world. The scenes range from Newfoundland's rugged coast to the shoreline of Lake Ontario, with a focus on the intersection of water and rock, sunlight and shadow, land and sky.
In Pat's words, "If I am able to draw from the viewer a recognition of the intricate textures of water, ice and rocks, the lonely distances of a shoreline or landscape, and the survival of nature in the face of all obstacles, then my work is successful."
Pat was born in Ottawa, and studied drawing and painting in Montreal at the School of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, at McGill University, and at Concordia University School of Art. She has also studied at Toronto's Three Schools of Art and Toronto School of Art, and at the Haliburton School of the Arts. Pat is a member of the Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts in Toronto, the Colborne Society of Artists, and the Pontiac Artists' Association in Quebec, and has held a position on the Board of the Arts Council of Northumberland since 2007. Pat has participated in numerous juried and solo shows, received an Ontario Arts Council Exhibition Assistance Grant in 2010, and has won local, national, and international awards.

You found this in a bank roll? Remarkable.Zero wear it appears to me.
Ok, I would say MS-66 or even MS-67 on the features, but the luster (judging by this photo) seems to be impaired (this is a quote straight out of Whitmans Red Book, page 9 2012 version "Condition of Coins) so MS-63.
Please do NOT attempt to clean this coin, unless you want to ruin it!
I am a newbie, so I could be wrong, but I do have a war nickel that is MS-66 and the luster as well as all the features are nearly perfect and it reflects like a mirror.
IF I am wrong, please tell me why, I wish to learn. If quoting the Red Book is a bad idea, why?
AU53 I suppose with a hit on the steps. NICE FIND!

Imagine a little world where there is two balls ("Ball1" and "Ball2") and a box ("Box1"). Then, i know that there is a ball in the box, but i do not know which one. I want to be able to ask the following question: what is in "Box1" and have the answer "Ball", but i encountered some problems.
Using Protege, I create a very little ontology to model this. I create a class: "Object" with two sub-classes: "Ball" and "Box". I define two object properties "isin" and "include" and say that "isin" is the inverse property of "include". Then I create two individuals "Ball1" and "Ball2" with type "Ball" and an individual "Box1" with type "Box and (include some (Balle))"
Then I query the ontology with "isin value Box1", but I only have "Thing" as an answer where i expected "Ball".
Could you help me to see what i miss ?
Thanks for your help.
ps: I've tested to define "Box1" with "Box and (include only (Ball))" and I obtain "Ball" when i query, but it seems to me that does not represent what i want since I know there is a ball in the box but i do not know if there is something else.

So you want to infer that there are some citizens in France from the fact that there are some citizens in France? I think you just want to read the "France" definition.

January 26, 1999
TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State (8-0, 0-0 Pac-10 and ranked No. 12 Baseball America, No. 15 Baseball Weekly/ESPN Coaches Poll and No. 27 Collegiate Baseball in the preseason polls) return from Hawaii to host Howard University (0-0, 0-0 conference) in a three-game non-conference series at Packard Stadium this weekend. Last year the Sun Devils finished the season with a 41-23 overall record, 18-11 in the conference and a number two ranking nationally after finishing second at the College World Series.
THIS WEEK ON THE RADIO -- KMVP 860 AM will broadcast Arizona State's home and away games during the 1999 season. This week, Friday and Saturday's broadcasts will be live while Sunday's game will be tape-delayed. Trey Bender and Bob Eger will provide the play-by-play and color commentary respectively.
AIMLESS FACTS DEPARTMENT -- Arizona State has not been shutout in its last 203 games (last time shutout was a 0-9 loss to USC on April 7, 1995) ...Andrew Beinbrink has become only the fifth Sun Devil in history to record over 200 career RBI ... ASU pitchers have thrown three complete game shutouts ... ASU has outscored its opponents 82-15 through eight games ... ASU baseball is celebrating 40 years of collegiate baseball in 1999; the Devils first took the field as a varsity sport back in 1959 ... the Sun Devils have begun the season 8-0 for two straight years ('99 and '98) ... head coach Pat Murphy was honored as Baseball America's 1998 Coach of the Year ... the ASU/Utah series marked the first time wooden bats were used in a regular-season game by collegiate teams in almost 30 years ... Arizona State has yet to let an opponent score in the first, seventh or eighth innings ... the ASU pitching staff has allowed only 14 walks in its first eight games (1.9 BB per game) and are averaging 10.6 strikeouts per game as well ... the Devils are averaging 2.75 stolen bases per game ... the Devils have yet to hit a homerun through eight games this season ... ASU is batting a healthy .336 as a team while holding opponents to a .168 average ... opponents have yet to record a sacrifice fly or a triple this season ... ASU has allowed only three extra base hits on the year ... Arizona State is averaging 10.25 runs per game and 10.5 hits per game ... three everyday starters are batting over .400 for ASU.
ABOUT HOWARD UNIVERSITY -- Howard finished 23-31, 19-3 in conference play last year ... they are coached by Chuck Hinton ... they are opening the '99 season in Tempe ... this will be the first meeting between the two teams ... Eunique Johnson batted .389 with eight homeruns for the Bison last year ... righthanded pitcher Hasani Widemond returns this year after pacing Howard with 84.0 IP, 120 H, 100 R, 74 ER, 56 BB, 39 K and a 7.39 ERA.
BEINBRINK CLOSING IN ON CAREER MARKS-- Thirdbaseman Andrew Beinbrink (San Diego, Calif.) returns for his senior season and will likely become ASU's career leader in RBI, surpassing current Sun Devil Clay Westlake (1973-76). The 6-3 infielder has 207 RBI and needs just 43 RBI to become the all-time RBI leader (Beinbrink has averaged 66 RBI over the past three years). He is currently on a five-game hitting streak. He batted .500 vs. Hawaii-Hilo with six runs scored and four RBI. With his 56 career doubles, he ranks fifth all-time at ASU (Westlake is the leader with 85 career doubles). Beinbrink could finish his career in the top five in seven of 10 offensive categories at Arizona State. The two-time first-team all-conference selection currently ranks eighth in the Pac-10 in career RBI as well.
THE HIT MAN -- Returning junior All-American Willie Bloomquist (Port Orchard, Wash.) makes the move to the infield for the Devils in 1999, taking over at shortstop for the departed Michael Collins. As the leadoff batter for the Devils, his on base percentage is currently .632. The first-team All-Pac-10 selection's '98 batting average of .414 ranks seventh all-time at ASU. His batting average has never dipped below .300 his entire career. He has drawn a team-leading 14 walks and also has scored a team-leading 14 runs Bloomquist is batting .625 as a leadoff batter and is batting .429 with runners in scoring position. He was selected to both Baseball America's (second-team) and Collegiate Baseball's (third-team) preseason All-American teams.
WALDRIP GOES THE DISTANCE ... AGAIN -- Junior transfer Will Waldrip (Flagstaff, Ariz.) posted his second consecutive complete game shutout with a 3-0 victory over Hawaii-Hilo (1/23). He becomes the first ASU pitcher since Doug Henry in 1983 to post back-to-back complete game shutouts (May 28 vs. CS-Fullerton, 8-0 and June 5 vs. Maine, 7-0). Primarily an infielder at Brigham Young, Waldrip logged only 17.2 inning pitched last year for the Cougars. After transferring to ASU, he became a full-time pitcher. Waldrip has now pitched 18 consecutive scoreless innings for the Devils. He is holding opponent batters to a .103 average at the plate. Waldrip is averaging 12.0 strikeouts and 1.5 walks per game this season.
THE KILLER B's -- Preseason All-Americans Andrew Beinbrink and Willie Bloomquist will lead the offensive charge for the Devils in '99. Last year, the duo combined for 30% of ASU's RBIs (146 of 483 RBI), 27% of ASU runs scored (151 of 557), 28% of the team's homeruns (16 of 57), 28% of Arizona State's doubles (36 of 132), 49% of the Devils triples (13 of 27) and 25% of ASU's hits (186 of 723).
FRIEDBERG PITCHES A GEM -- Sophomore lefty Drew Friedberg (Middleton, Wisc.) pitched the best game of his collegiate career with a one-hit complete game shutout on Sunday against Hawaii-Hilo. He faced 28 batters, one more than the minimum number of batters faced in a nine-inning game. He recorded a career-high seven strikeouts and walked one. Friedberg's one-hitter is only the 26th in school history. He is the 21st ASU pitcher to record a complete game one-hitter. The last Sun Devil to record a complete game one-hitter was Billy Neal vs. California on April 22, 1994. Friedberg pitched 11.0 innings over the weekend including two innings in relief on Friday night.
INJURY REPORT -- Freshman infielder Gonzo Grasis (Tucson, Ariz.) has had surgery on his left wrist and will most likely be out for the season.
PRESEASON ACCOLADES -- Two Sun Devils received multiple preseason honors by several publications to kick off the 1999 season: SS Willie Bloomquist, second-team All-American (Baseball America) and third-team All-American (Collegiate Baseball); 3B Andrew Beinbrink, second-team All-American (Collegiate Baseball) and third-team All-American (Baseball America) .
NCAA FIELD EXPANDS TO 64 TEAMS IN 1999 -- The NCAA will expand the postseason field from 48 to 64 teams in '99 as well as present a new regional format. Regionals will begin on May 27th at 16 sites with four teams each in a double-elimination format.

Today I am even seeing some strange issues as well. I tried opening wikipedia.org and it showed me only text, css and .js was stripped out. Again I tried opening the page and it opened perfectly. I can't open gmail and facebook at all. But I can access these sites in my laptop right now.
I talked with the admin guy, but he says he did nothing as such.
What could be the issue? How to debug it?
When I am at home I am not behind any proxy.
I don't have admin rights, so the solution you will give I will pass on to the admin guy. That may help him.
Just now I pinged www.google.com and it returned:-
Ping has started…
ping: cannot resolve www.google.com: Unknown host

The Advice Goddess
By Amy Alkon 11/08/2012
The Call of Doodie
Loved your response to the bored-out-of-their-gourds parents of the 1-year-old. I'm three months pregnant and a little worried in the wake of a recent dinner party. There were four sets of new parents there, and all the wives seemed to resent the hell out of their husbands. The husbands, predictably, seemed defensive and angry in response. My husband and I have a really great partnership, and I'd like to keep it that way. Are there things we can do to avoid the parental hate stage, or … fret, fret … is it an inevitability that comes with the stress of having a child?
Today's marriage is reportedly a more equal partnership. For a lot of couples who become parents, here's how that works: The woman blimps out for nine months, spends hours and hours in agony squeezing a huge thing out an extremely small opening, and then becomes a 24-hour milk dispenser and poo-slave for the better part of a year. The man holds her hand and says "You can do it, honey!" while she's in labor, helps name the kid, and then, when friends come over to watch the World Series, picks it up and says, "Look what we made!"
Trophy dads aside, if there's one area of parenting that breeds eye-daggers of wifely resentment, it's unequal sleeplessness. Yeah, I know, according to The Beatles, "love is all you need," but they forgot the small print: This is only true of people who are not suffering from sleep deprivation, which, by the way, is not only a necessity for tending to one's newborn but a form of torture banned by the Geneva Conventions.
Sure, there are certain biological problems with sharing the nightly feeding duties. But, just because the booby with the drinks in it is on only one of you doesn't mean there can't be catering. In other words, Daddy can bottle-feed if mommy breast pumps, and nothing's stopping him from diaper-changing. What matters is that Mommy and Daddy are going halfsies on sleeplessness. As a happily married male friend with a new baby puts it, it's essential to "scrupulously share" wakeup duty, or a wife who used to look lovingly at her sleeping spouse may begin calculating how much jail time she'd get for smothering him with a pillow.
During daylight hours, a little time off for the stay-at-home mom, even for 20 minutes after Dad comes home, is a huge relief, as are playdates — one night a week for her to go out with friends and be a person instead of a big udder. Just a little alleviation goes a long way in showing that a husband doesn't think women have babies and men have babies as props — to parade around Starbucks in a BabyBjorn, making all the hot girls coo, and then hand back to Mom until the kid's old enough to be interesting: "Hey, little man, Daddy's gotta read the newspaper and putter around the garage for six or seven years. Let's talk when you're big enough to throw a ball around."
Silent Knight
I'm thinking I should wait until after Christmas to break up with my girlfriend of two years. She is planning on accompanying me to my family's for the holidays and otherwise has no place to go. (I'm picturing her home alone, maybe calling her stepbrother she talks to once a year.)
When your thought is "I think we should start seeing other people," it isn't supposed to mean making your girlfriend spend a week with your grandma and 62 of your closest relatives. Although you're trying to be kind, delaying your breakup is the wrong thing to do. You break up with somebody as soon as you know, which means they can lick their wounds and get on to somebody who does want them that much sooner. (There are exceptions to the immediacy rule, like if it's two days before your girlfriend has finals or if somebody's just died and she's on her way to identify the body.)
Just think how what you're suggesting could play out. In the weeks before Christmas, she'll likely sense that something's not quite right. She'll gnaw endlessly on this with her girlfriends, and they'll come up with the perfect solution … Santa lingerie! When you finally end it, she'll likely drag out of you that you weren't really feelin' it — starting around Halloween. So, besides the painful emotions that accompany any breakup, you'll be giving her the gift of humiliation as she replays the mental video of herself prancing around in a Santa hat and jingle bell pasties … on what turned out to be the biggest chopping day of the year.

I really enjoy your column and advice. You rock.
I wanted to comment on the Call of Doodie advice.
I truly feel that the fact was after I had my baby I became a stay at home mom for just under 3 years that the bread winner was entitled to uninterrupted sleep so he could actually be less stressed out at work etc. I can not understand why women that sit home all day and all night need to make sure the father is not able to sleep and has to share in being awake. I nursed my son for 10 months, it was one of the easiest things (and cheapest) I have ever 'had' to do. I seriously think most women will use anything as an excuse to beatch or feel as if they need to be treated extra special. You choose to have a baby, you deal with it. It is not a tool for attention. We do unfortunately live in some convoluted yuppie coach diaper bag toting area of the world, where women feel as if they are privileged for being a woman. Have a baby, stay home and enjoy life, be a parent and better yet be apparent! You do not need to take your baby to bars to prove that 'your life' did not end cause you had a kid. These people need to wake UP and get out of the bar! If a women is not ready to stay home raising a child away from drunks and other potential harm, then they are not fit to have a child. I feel sorry for the woman in the article as she is already succumbing to how nasty miserable women treat their husbands and use the baby as a tool for gifts and compassion to validify them having a baby. Having a baby is a piece of cake.
I have never resented staying home to raise my child or making sure my husband was able to sleep through the night. I can sleep when the baby sleeps. Get off of FB, get off the phone, turn off the TV and be a MOTHER and a WIFE!

History of the Library
The Difficult Years, 1930-38
Although the growth of the Library was quite rapid in the last half-decade of the 1920s, putting the Library facilities and staff under a severe strain at times as has been noted above, the granting of additional rooms and personnel led the Librarian to note in the report for 1929-30 that progress had even been made on the perennial cataloging problem, some 2,284 books having been cataloged in that year, although this still did not keep up with the rate of acquisitions.
However, the most serious deficiency still facing the Library at this time was the very low degree of financial support being received for book appropriations. In a letter to the Principal, Mr. John W. Harbeson, dated March 14, 1929, Miss Skinner noted that generally accepted standards for book budgets for colleges and universities called for annual expenditures of from $5.00 to $6.00 per pupil enrollment. Yet in the year 1929-30 the Library expenditures for books, periodicals and binding combined were only $3,670, or about $1.20 per pupil enrollment. This was slightly less than $3,900 expended for Library salaries the same year.
With the onset of the Great Depression, this unsatisfactory situation became infinitely worse and remained so for many years. In 1930-31 the book expenditures totalled only $1,609 and fell further to an average of only $1,250 for each of the next three years, recovering to only $1,850 in 1934-35. The effect on the growth rate of the Library collections was staggering, the acquisition rate falling from over 3,000 volumes in 1929-30 to as low as only 900 in 1933-34. In fact, the net result was that the Library grew hardly at all for these five years because about the same number of books were discarded or lost per year as were purchased.
Accompanying this cut in the book budget was a corresponding reduction in staff, which coupled with a ten percent increase in the student population, put the Library resources under serious strain. Furthermore, volunteer student help became very difficult to obtain, necessitating that the professional staff spend considerable time at such mundane tasks as shelving books, until paid student help was provided in 1932-33.
Although the reduction in the book budget was tempered somewhat by the fact that book prices slid drastically, making the fewer dollars go much farther, the lack of new equipment such as files, shelving and even work tables became a serious problem as well, requiring the use of much unsuitable and makeshift arrangements and producing a further loss in efficiency.
However, the Librarian found time during 1932-33 to write an essay entitled "The Place of the Library in the Junior College, The Past - The Present - The Future." In the first section, "The Past"' Miss Skinner outlined the effects of the Depression on the Library, particularly the serious deficiencies accruing to the book collections as a result of drastic cuts in the book budget. For example, in each of the years 1930-31 and 1931-32, only $2,000 was allotted for this purpose, whereas the accepted standards for high schools and junior colleges called for a total outlay for two years of $25,300, thus indicating a shortage of $21,300 for these two years alone. These shortages were widely felt not only in curricula already well established, but more often in newly-organized courses, where it even became necessary for instructors to loan personal copies of books to supplement the meager lists of the Library.
In the section devoted to "The Present," Miss Skinner discusses the role of the Library in the junior college project with some notes on the Pasadena Junior College Library. She considers the Library as "the [primary] laboratory for students of literature and for students of the changing world; the secondary laboratory for the sciences, the technological students, the home economics, the art and music, and the commercial students."
"Therefore, as the technician in charge of the Library laboratory, the Librarian is responsible for:
The Administration is responsible for:
The Faculty is responsible for:
* The following lists, available in Pasadena Junior College Library, are library tools which may prove suggestive or helpful:
Shaw - List of Books for College Libraries.
Hester - Books for Junior College Libraries.
Hilton - Junior College Book List.
** Besides the usual publishers? lists, the Librarian checks the Publishers? Weekly for the benefit of the Faculty.
*** New books are exhibited on the display case in Pasadena Junior College Library.
In "The Future," the third section of her essay, Miss Skinner outlines her concept of library needs for the immediate future. The reader will find it illuminating to compare the following analysis with what actually materialized, sixteen years later, after Miss Skinner's retirement:
When Miss Skinner wrote the foregoing essay, the fortunes of the Pasadena Junior College Library were at such a low ebb that it didn't seem possible that they could sink any lower. Just then, disaster struck! - in the form of the Long Beach earthquake of March, 1933. For its trials of the next four years this library would surely win the prize as the Hades of librarianship, insofar as physical facilities were concerned.
The immediate consequences of the earthquake to the Junior College plant were drastic to say the least. Examination of the structures housing most classrooms, administrative offices, and the Library revealed conditions so unsafe as to force closing of these buildings for school purposes until such time that the walls could be strengthened. During 1933-34 classes were held in tents. The Library remained where it was in the condemned building, but with "the interior walls lined with wire net supported at three foot intervals by rough pine two by four members, giving the Library the aesthetic appearance of a farmyard."
When it was ultimately decided that the buildings were to be completely reconstructed, necessitating removal of the Library to another place for the interim, the Librarian seized this opportunity to call in the Faculty to aid in the assessing of the entire book collection and culling out the "deadwood."
The following criteria were employed in this elimination process:
If there was any hesitation on the part of the Librarian or faculty consultants in answering "no" to any of the above questions the book was retained. This process resulted in elimination of about 1,400 volumes, leaving a collection of about 26,000.
When the building housing the Library was officially ordered vacated by July 1, 1934, the Library was hard put to find a new home. Finally, however, the Dean of Men, who was in charge of buildings, suggested that the Library could abide temporarily on the stage of the old auditorium whilst the demolition and reconstruction of the rest of the building was accomplished. This proved to be the best suggestion offered and "accordingly during the second week of August [1934] the librarians were called back from their vacations for a week to supervise (without compensation) the moving and arrangement of the Library."
The Library occupied these quarters for two years, managing to maintain service under the most difficult conditions. The only space available for the staff workroom and office was the women?s dressing room below the stage, which the librarians had to share with more than fifty other women--teachers, office and cafeteria personnel.
Soon after the opening of the school year 1935-36, the demolition of the condemned building housing the Library began. The auditorium-Library was merely boxed in with thin boards while the walls on three sides were demolished by a large stone battering ram and the debris scooped up by a large steam shovel into trucks to be hauled away. This work took about three months during which the librarians tried to carry on as usual.
Naturally, the level of library use fell off drastically during this period, since customers would surely take their business elsewhere whenever possible. But even those persistent and patient souls who were still using the Library must finally have been driven out when swarms of flying ants descended in the first hot days of June, 1935.
Immediately after the close of the school year 1935-36, the Library was again moved to a new temporary home, this time into the temporarily enclosed open-air section of the Women's Gymnasium. This location actually proved to be a considerable improvement over the old stage, since there was now adequate light, some heating, good ventilation and sufficient space for proper aisles and arranging of the books in classified order.
During the last week in May, 1937 the Library was moved again, this time into its quarters in the new building, although the building itself was not yet fully completed.

Men's Health
Boning Up on Bones.
Oct. 15 2001 -- Like parents everywhere, Diane Martin, of Lafayette, Ind., thought there were better things for her 13-year-old son David to be doing this past summer than hanging around the house watching television and bickering with his sister.
Recommended Related to Men
National Men's Health Week starts June 11, topped off by Father's Day on June 17, so it's a good time to give your man some good health advice. "Use sunscreen!" Research suggests that men are more likely to get skin cancer than women. Also, get the checkups every man needs to ensure a healthy heart, prostate, and colon.
Read the Father's Day Advice for Dad article > >
So she enrolled David in a summer camp at nearby Purdue University. Basketball, swimming, soccer, and the company of 45 other boys -- that was the ticket for a healthy summer.
But that wasn't all there was to Camp Calcium, a project of researchers at Purdue to study the relationship between calcium intake and growth of bones in a natural, and fun, setting. The boys were also taught some important lessons about osteoporosis, a disease that occurs when bones become brittle and susceptible to fracture.
For six weeks, David and the other boys consumed a controlled diet of varying amounts of calcium and received periodic bone scans. They were also required to collect their feces and urine so researchers could determine how much calcium was being retained in their bones, and how much was being excreted.
In the normal course of things, collecting urine and feces might not be considered summertime activity for 13-year olds -- but anything can be made to seem routine after a while. "David didn't mind the collections," his mother says. "All the boys were doing the same thing, so it was just normal."
In return, David was paid seven dollars a day for participating, and enjoyed all the activities typical of summer camp. He lived in a dorm with the other guys and attended minicamps in soccer, basketball, swimming, track, and bowling, receiving instruction from Purdue University coaches.
"We wanted to expose these kids to activities they would be doing normally in their life," says Berdine Martin, PhD, lead researcher in the Camp Calcium study. "It's a way to get kids to participate in a study that is enjoyable and has an educational feature."
Not For Women Only
That education may save David's bones later in life. "He understands the importance of calcium and how it will affect him in the future," his mother tells WebMD.

LittleTinkers Pony Sanctuary
what disgusting ppl there are in this world, a girl on fb pretending to be collecting items for the littletinkers auction and then running off with the stuff, shes now deleted herself from fb, i feel so terrible for the ppl she collected the items from as they so wanted to donate and help the tinkers, one lady gave over a £100.00 worth of stuff and is mortified at what has happened
Her name is Bethany Taylor or she is using that name. If you are on face book please post on your wall and warn others. thank you

One of the most hotly-debated cards in terms of flavor and story significance in Theros block is, of all things, Temple of Abandon. The red and green-mana-producing scryland is in theory the temple to Xenagos - except he doesn't become a god until Born of the Gods, and the card was printed in Theros. Among other things, the card also depicts an empty throne and a statue of an unknown god in the background. This has led some to theorize that there in fact was a red-green god before Xenagos, but this individual was killed, left in disgust, or otherwise is no longer part of the pantheon.
When zemyla asked Mark Rosewater on his Tumblr blog, "Did you mean to have the double meaning for "Temple of Abandon"?" Rosewater seemingly confirmed the theory:
Let's say yes. : )
In this context, Abandon must mean both "hedonistic abandon," the frame of mind that Satyrs are typically in, and "abandonment," or, the fact that the previous god is gone. Whether this is actually carried through in Magic's canon in the storyline of Journey into Nyx remains to be seen, but the hints are probably too numerous and too well-defined to be red herrings. In other words, expect to see a third-act twist involving the lost god next set.
