PURPOSE: The standard of care for anaplastic gliomas is surgery followed by radiotherapy. The NOA-04 phase III trial compared efficacy and safety of radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy at progression with the reverse sequence in patients with newly diagnosed anaplastic gliomas. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients (N = 318) were randomly assigned 2:1:1 (A:B1:B2) to receive conventional radiotherapy (arm A); procarbazine, lomustine (CCNU), and vincristine (PCV; arm B1); or temozolomide (arm B2) at diagnosis. At occurrence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression, patients in arm A were treated with PCV or temozolomide (1:1 random assignment), whereas patients in arms B1 or B2 received radiotherapy. The primary end point was time to treatment failure (TTF), defined as progression after radiotherapy and one chemotherapy in either sequence. RESULTS: Patient characteristics in the intention-to-treat population (n = 274) were balanced between arms. All histologic diagnoses were centrally confirmed. Median TTF (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.2; 95% CI, 0.8 to 1.8), progression-free survival (PFS; HR = 1.0; 95% CI, 0.7 to 1.3, and overall survival (HR = 1.2; 95% CI, 0.8 to 1.9) were similar for arms A and B1/B2. Extent of resection was an important prognosticator. Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas and oligoastrocytomas share the same, better prognosis than anaplastic astrocytomas. Hypermethylation of the O(6)-methylguanine DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter (HR = 0.59; 95% CI, 0.36 to 1.0), mutations of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1) gene (HR = 0.48; 95% CI, 0.29 to 0.77), and oligodendroglial histology (HR = 0.33; 95% CI, 0.2 to 0.55) reduced the risk of progression. Hypermethylation of the MGMT promoter was associated with prolonged PFS in the chemotherapy and radiotherapy arm. CONCLUSION: Initial radiotherapy or chemotherapy achieved comparable results in patients with anaplastic gliomas. IDH1 mutations are a novel positive prognostic factor in anaplastic gliomas, with a favorable impact stronger than that of 1p/19q codeletion or MGMT promoter methylation.

Parade's End, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall, took the TV Drama prize.
Author Hilary Mantel added to her swelling awards haul with the prize for Literature.

text: This should be a train wreck at the beach: Sixties surf-rock versions of Christmas songs inanely augmented with jingling bells and other thematic accouterments. But it's quite excellent. The Ventures infuse the predictable playlist with clever rock & roll flourishes – opening their hot version of "Rudolph Red-Nosed Reindeer" with an allusion to the Beatles' "I Feel Fine," giving "Frosty the Snowman" a shot of the Champs' "Tequila" and working their own "Walk Don't Run" into "Sleigh Bells." The stylistic invention and off-handed majesty never let up; their plaintively ringing "Silver Bells" is as pretty as a Velvet Underground benediction.

The Vanilla of weight loss
Wednesday, April 03, 2013
I posted a blog yesterday but decided it seemed to, um... I don't know racial?? Which is not what I intended. I was merely stating the obvious vanilla flavor of weight loss. Not just on here but in life itself! It seems if you do not have 100 pds to lose or if you have always lived in "0ne"derland that you really do not have a weight loss issue or aloud to state that you do. If you are a goal size to someone who weighs 250, they may look at your 180 body and bark at you for even mentioning you wanna lose weight. Well ladies my 180 frame is tooo big for ME! I normally weigh 165. I like being there! I do not like weighing anywhere near my hubby! OMG!
I am a die hard gym rat and love it! I run and run. Am I obese??? No. Am I even considered overweight? No(barely). But do I feel comfortable now? No...not really. I am more positive now and live in the moment. But being 15-20 pds lighter would make me feel more athletic and yes I will say it. More attractive. To myself! My hubby LOVES me and thinks I am forever hot
I don't like getting emails about how I should stop calling myself chubby, or that I workout to much. Like what???? I LOVE working out...it keeps me sane. I like walking 1.5 miles to the library with my girls in the stroller. I like riding bikes with my girls on an active rest day. Why? To show them humans are suppose to be out side and active!
I had a gal ask me today if I run. I like whoa I most look like one of those goddess and do not even notice!
Then realized it was my feet!
taped heel and missing toenails
I wore a new maxi skirt today and must say im hooked! I love black! Of course duh! Slimmer looking!!
Yep spring days are the best!
Be another flavor. Who cares if you need to lose 5 or 100 pds. Lets all support one another!!

it's all about being comfortable with yourself, for some it's a weight, from some it's a certain outfit they want to get into, for some it's being able to get around more easily - we are all here for our own reasons. keep doing what makes you happy dollface!

If I lost 100 pounds from where I started I'd be under weight (or darn close to it)
We each have to be happy with ourselves, part of that is making our own decisions for how much to lose and where we are happy. The other part is being happy with ourselves once we get there. My goal is not set in stone for that exact reason, I picked an arbitrary number at the top end of the healthy BMI range, but when I get there or close to there I will assess where my body is and how I feel about it.
I have heard before on this site one person's starting weight is another person's goal and it is so very true. I admire people who lost hundreds of pounds for making the commitment, but I also admire people who reshaped their bodies and found a love for an active life when they "only" lost a few actual pounds.
I love the skirt, it looks great on you. I am glad to see long flowy skirts making a fashion comeback.

Well said. It is all about supporting one another. I remember being 100 (plus) pounds heavier and thinking wow I can't wait to be 170 now I sit at 170 longing to be 165 ish.

I am surprised that anyone on this site (or in any weight loss community) would detract from another's success, unless it was clear that the person was entering a dangerous weight territory (underweight/eating disorders). Good luck and keep focused on living your best life.

I still can't believe people are mailing you comments like that. Maybe they think they're being kind/helpful, etc. I mean, you do look GREAT. But it is up to you how much you weigh, not me. You're not doing anything unhealthy so why should I be unduly concerned with what you choose as your goals? Weird.

I agree , here is the deal we all have to be like you said comfortable in our body and if that means losing 10 or 100 that is what you have to do. I have known people with "only" 10lbs to lose and they struggle just as much as I do. We all have our own issues and you're right we should all support each other.
How great you are teaching your daughters how great being active is.. You are giving them tools to keep them from having weight issues.
Think if we all turned off our tv's and computer how much better off we would be. We would probably want to go outside for interaction :)
Best wishes on your Journey.

Protection of Children
The purpose of the Protection of Children Policy is to provide guidelines for the appropriate protection and supervision of children participating in University-sponsored programs, in programs operated by outside entities held in University facilities, and/or programs housed in University facilities, wherever those programs or facilities are located.
Duty to Report Suspected Child Abuse
All employees and volunteers are required by Pennsylvania law to make a report of suspected child abuse. Call ChildLine toll free at 800-932-0313.
Employees and volunteers who fail to report a case of suspected child abuse may face felony charges of the third degree.
Contact Human Resources for additional information.
All employees and volunteers are required to complete 3 hours of training within 90 days of hire and 3 hours of training every five years thereafter. Training will be provided by the University.
Required Clearances
All employees and volunteers who have direct contact with children must obtain new clearances. Existing clearances, even if less than one year old, are not sufficient. For new hires, original clearances must be produced prior to employment. Human Resources (or the appropriate administrator when employees are not involved) will maintain copies of the clearances.
Certain exceptions apply for children employed by the institution of higher education, interns, exchange visitors, and certain volunteers. See Human Resources for details.
Marywood will cover the cost of clearances for all employees (FT and PT.)
Covered employees must obtain the following clearances: PA State Police criminal background check; clearance through ChildLine (child abuse); and FBI clearance (fingerprinting). Employees may be eligible for a 90 day provisional hiring period during which they may work as long as they are not working alone with children.
The provisional hiring period for volunteers is 30 days.
Clearances must be renewed every 60 months. Covered employees and volunteers are responsible for obtaining and paying for renewals of their clearances. Covered employees and volunteers who do not comply with the clearance requirements may face criminal charges and/or termination of employment/volunteer status.
Covered employees and volunteers must report changes in clearance status within 72 hours or face possible criminal charges and/or termination of employment/volunteer status.
Covered employees or volunteers will be dismissed immediately if their clearances reveal that they are named in the statewide database as the perpetrator of a founded report committed within the past five years, or that they were convicted of one or more of the offenses listed in 23 Pa. C.S. § 6344(c), or an equivalent crime under federal law or the law of another state. Prospective job applicants and volunteers will not be hired or allowed to participate for the same reasons.
Measures to prevent child abuse
In addition to the requirements listed above, all members of the Marywood community should abide by the following measures:
Establish a procedure for the notification of the child's authorized parent/legal guardian in case of an emergency, including medical or behavioral problems, natural disasters or other significant disruptions.
Avoid one-on-one contact with children: when feasible, there should be two or more adults present during activities when children are present.
Comply with all Marywood Policies, as well as Campus Safety and Housing and Residence Life policies and procedures.
Adult – an individual 18 years of age or older.
Child – an individual under 18 years of age. Prospective students and matriculated students under 18 are not covered. However, dual enrollment students are covered.
ChildLine – an organizational unit of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Public Welfare which operates a statewide toll-free system for receiving reports of suspected child abuse, refers such reports for investigation, and maintains the reports in the appropriate file. ChildLine may be reached at 800-932-0313.
Covered employee/covered volunteer – an individual who has "direct contact" with children.
Direct contact with children (employees/independent contractors) – the care, supervision, guidance or control of children, or routine interaction with children. Administrative and support personnel are excluded unless they have direct contact with children.
Direct contact with children (volunteers) – the care, supervision, guidance or control of children, and routine interaction with children. Volunteers who interact with children for one day a year for a special event are excluded.
Matriculated student – a student who is enrolled in an institution of higher education and pursing a program of study that results in a postsecondary credential, such as certificates, diploma or degree.
Routine interaction – regular and repeated contact that is integral to a person's employment or volunteer responsibilities.

Aguilera announced the news of her engagement on Instagram. She shared a photo of the two holding hands in a tropical setting. Aguilera's left hand revealed a large diamond ring.

ICED tea took on a whole new meaning when this sweet teapot won a gold award in a top competition.
Shafton woman Tina Heron, 54, whipped up the delicious delight for the Cake International Fair in Manchester and waltzed off with the top prize.
Wheelchair user Tina, of Hazledene Road, spent 100 hours crafting the cute teapot full of scabious and sweet pea blooms. It was put forward in the flower arrangement class.
Tina said: "Competition work takes time as everything has to be perfect. You have quite a lot of breakages as well when you are putting your design together."
Tina has been involved in sugarcraft for two years and got into it when a friend asked her to decorate a wedding cake.
Tina said: "I do a lot of googling to get ideas for designs. I saw a similar idea with a cup and saucer but in the Manchester competition I was limited to a particular size.
"I don't work due to my disability so I can spend a lot of time on it."

What's Facebook's Real Price?
Back in January, I wrote a story highlighting the various prices that mutual funds put on shares of Facebook – a result of the inexact science of valuing shares of private companies.
Now that Facebook is public, you might think that all funds now put the same value on Facebook shares. You would be wrong.
The Fidelity Growth Company fund, for example, valued its Facebook stake at about $28.34 per share as of the end of May, whereas the Oppenheimer Global Allocation fund valued the shares at $29.63. I highlighted funds that picked up shares in May in a story this morning.
So who's right? As it turns out, both.
The wrinkle comes from the private shares that mutual fund companies picked up before Facebook's initial public offering in mid-May. Lots of funds, including those from Fidelity, Morgan Stanley and T. Rowe Price, picked up shares on the private market, either through a direct investment in Facebook or through buying shares from employees on private exchanges, such as SharesPost or SecondMarket.
Those pre-IPO shares are "Class B" shares. They represent the same sized portion of Facebook as the "Class A" shares that are now traded freely on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, but they typically can't be traded until November, six months after the IPO.
And therein lies the reason why some mutual funds are carrying Facebook shares at different prices: Though they represent the same slice of Facebook, the Class A shares are inherently more valuable because they can be traded.
That means funds that didn't own pre-IPO shares should be valuing Facebook somewhere around its regular market price, those who only own pre-IPO shares should be putting a slight discount on their value, and those who own both will value their Facebook stakes somewhere in between.
For an individual investor, it's an interesting phenomenon but one that would be difficult to take advantage of. Even though fund managers don't have liquidity for their pre-IPO shares, you, the individual investor, can still buy and redeem the shares of their mutual funds as you always would.
So in effect, you can buy Facebook for less money at, say, the Fidelity Growth Company fund than you could at the Oppenheimer Global Allocation fund and wait for the Class B shares to become tradeable in November. But for most funds, Facebook only represents a tiny 0.1% to 0.5% portion. So your fund's overall performance would far outweigh the Facebook bump.

Sony may have taken the next-gen lead in worldwide sales for 2013 but Microsoft announced Thursday that both the Xbox One and Xbox 360 topped their generational competition in the Playstation 4 and Playstation 3 for December per the just released NPD report.
The Xbox One sold 908,000 units in North America for the month December according to Microsoft while the Xbox 360 still sold strong at 634,000 units. Both ate up 46 percent of the hardware sales for the month.
"We're grateful for the excitement and support of our fans – many purchasing their next Xbox console and many joining the Xbox family for the first time," said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of marketing, strategy and business for Xbox. "Our journey is just starting, with more innovation, games and entertainment coming in 2014 and far beyond."
Sony's senior director of corporate communications, Dan Race responded to the news (via CVG) by stating, "According to the latest NPD report, PlayStation 4 remains the cumulative leader for next gen console sales in the US since the launch on November 15."
"We sold every PS4 available at retail in the US and were out of stock in December due to overwhelming consumer demand. With more than 4.2 million PS4 systems sold worldwide, it's clear that the PS4's gaming and entertainment features are resonating with large audiences and we're doing our best to provide additional inventory in all of the 53 countries where it's available."
Stock for the PS4 remains in very short supply as Sony tries to fill stock for 53 countries while the Xbox One is available in only 13. This has led to a situation in North America where the console sells out quickly when ever it appears online and mega-online retailer Amazon has taken pre-orders for upcoming shipments.

Football: Weekly Picks
Prediction: Cowboys
Jets +7 vs. BearsWhen I first saw the point spread for this Bears-Jets game on Monday morning, I damn-near broke a rib I was laughing so hard. With apologies to tennis great John McEnroe: "You can NOT be serious?"
Guys, look at what the Jets have done at home this year: They're 2-2 straight up (SU), but 3-1 against the spread (ATS). The two defeats came against the Patriots (by seven points) and Colts (three points), with both games going down to the wire. New York easily covered the spread against Indy and came within a single point of doing so against New England. So that right there should prove to you that Eric Mangini's team can play with the big boys. And if that's not enough evidence, check out last week's final score in New England: Jets 17, Patriots 14.
The Jets have won three of their last four overall and covered the number in five of their last seven. Now they get to face a Bears team that's returning to the Meadowlands for the second straight week following last Sunday night's 38-20 victory over the Giants. Folks, don't be fooled by that misleading result; just thank Giants coach Tom Coughlin for being an idiot.
This is the second of three consecutive East Coast trips for the Bears, and Mangini is well aware of that fact. So look for the rookie coach, who's the anti-Coughlin, to draw up a game plan that calls for good old-fashioned smash-mouth football, knowing that such physical style of play will take its toll on Chicago as the game rolls along. And then there's the X-factor: Chicago's charitable quarterback Rex Grossman, who (with the exception of the second half of last week's game versus the Giants) has struggled on the road all season.
Jets cover this number with ease, and don't be surprised to see them win this game outright!
Prediction: Jets
Cincinnati +7 vs. RutgersIt's safe to say that the only organization having a worse November than the Big East Conference is the Republican Party. Two weeks ago, the Big East had three undefeated teams, two of them with legitimate BCS title aspirations. Then Louisville dumped West Virginia — the most attractive and highest ranked of the three teams — leaving the Cardinals and Rutgers as the league's undefeated teams. Then last week, Louisville, which had risen to third in the BCS standings, blew a huge lead at Rutgers and lost on a last-second field goal, ending its national title hopes.
Things pretty much unfolded in the worst way imaginable for Big East officials. Then again, they should've seen this coming, especially last week's result. Because if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: Emotion is as big a part of college football as talent. And it's simply human nature for 18 to 22-year-olds to get down after a big win, particularly when a program is experiencing success for the first time. You saw it happen to Louisville last week, and it will happen to the Scarlet Knights in this game. And if you don't think Cincinnati can put a scare into Rutgers, you don't follow college football very closely, because the Bearcats nearly beat Louisville last month, losing 23-17.

Men's Basketball Tops Georgia Southern, 92-83
Feb. 19, 2005
Chicago, Ill. - The UIC men's basketball team gave itself a little momentum heading into the final week of the regular season with a 92-83, non-conference triumph over Georgia Southern on Saturday afternoon at the UIC Pavilion.
The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for the Flames (13-12), who have key Horizon League dates with Wright State and Butler left on the slate.
Senior Cedrick Banks paced five UIC players in double figures with 24 points while junior Justin Bowen came off the bench to total a career-high tying 18 points and nine rebounds.
Junior Rocky Collum (15 points), senior Armond Williams (13 points) and junior Elliott Poole (11 points) were the other Flames in double digits.
The Eagles (16-11) were led by Elton Nesbitt's 24 points.
Georgia Southern entered the game with the nation's ninth-best offense, but UIC limited the Eagles to just 39% shooting in the game. The Flames are now 9-0 this season when holding teams under 40% from the field.
UIC also made the most of its chances at the foul line, converting 24-of-27 (89%) attempts from the free throw line.
The Flames seemingly took control of the game early with a 16-3 run midway through the first half staking them to a 14-point lead, 31-17.
Georgia Southern, which trailed by nine at the break, would not go away in the second half and trailed by only five with 1:45 left.
Banks would turn a driving lay-up into a three-point play on the Flames next possession, though, to put UIC ahead to stay.
The Flames will be back in action on Wednesday when they host Wright State at 7:00 p.m. UIC will honor its seniors prior to the start of the game.

College Hockey:Skidmore Gets Reprieve on Eve of Season
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — A $2.5 million donation to the college's athletics program has preserved men's hockey at Skidmore.
A group of alumni, parents and friends launched a fundraising effort in September after the college announced that budget constraints would force the elimination of men's hockey after the 2003-04 season, and the use of the those resources for other sports.
"In less than two months, these alumni and parents have raised a substantial amount of funding, showing their loyalty to Skidmore, as well as their commitment to the College's future," said Skidmore president Philip A. Glotzbach. "And I see this as only the start. Most important to me is that this development will allow us to improve the athletic experience for our entire community."
According to the college, the new funds will enable Skidmore to achieve all of the goals it had targeted in its restructuring while keeping the men's hockey program intact. Included is additional funding for women's soccer, tennis, volleyball, softball, and lacrosse, and the upgrade of some part-time coaching positions to full-time.
"The initial decision to restructure our athletics program was difficult but, from our perspective at that time, it was the correct and necessary step," said Glotzbach. "The decision to proceed on the basis of new funding is much easier."
The new funds raised by the group will serve as a foundation for a new "Friends of Skidmore Athletics" program. In addition to fundraising, the new organization will create an athletics hall of honor on campus and serve as an advisory group to the development of Skidmore athletics.
Paul Dion, who has coached Skidmore in its transition from a club team to Division III, was the 2003 ECAC East coach of the year, and is one win shy of 200 for his career. Skidmore begins its season this weekend, hosting Williams on Friday.

Steven Tyler and Fiancée Erin Brady Split
Steven Tyler and his fiancée Erin Brady have split, a source close to the Aerosmith singer tells Gossip Cop.
We're told that the couple has broken up before, but this time it may be for good.
Tyler and Brady's split was caused in part due to his dedication to sobriety as he prepares for Aerosmith's upcoming tour, according to the New York Post.
However, a rep for the band says, "Just as any couple goes through trials and tribulations in a relationship, Steven and Erin are asking for their privacy at this time."
The spokesperson adds, "They are engaged to be married and each is committed to their sobriety. Any claim to the contrary is absolutely false and misleading."
Tyler and Brady began dating in 2006, and announced their engagement last January.

Prayer, faith guide Maryland swimmer in quest for Olympic gold
"Everybody has been so great this year," said Ledecky, 15, who will be a sophomore at Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart this fall. ". During this whole experience, I realize more than ever that I have the best community."
Ledecky said that qualifying for the Olympics seemed "far-fetched" just a year ago. But anyone watching her swim at the Olympic trials in Omaha would never have believed it. Ledecky won the 800-meter freestyle event in 8:19.78, an Olympic trials record.
Ledecky also broke famed Olympic swimmer Janet Evans' age-group record in the 400 freestyle but finished third, one spot shy of making the Olympic team for another individual event.
Years of pre-dawn practice at the Curl-Burke Swim Club in Bethesda, being a member of the Stone Ridge Gators swim team and almost 10 summers on the community pool swim team have brought Ledecky to this moment. She is the youngest athlete on the entire 530-member U.S. Olympic team.
Ledecky, who has been swimming competitively since she was 6, describes her journey to swimming's highest pinnacle as a dream. "This is all sort of surreal," she said.
She told the Catholic Standard, newspaper of the Washington Archdiocese, that her strong Catholic faith keeps her focused on God and what matters most in life. She and her family are longtime parishioners of the Church of the Little Flower in Bethesda.
"I always pray right before a race," Ledecky said. "The prayer I say is the Hail Mary. I also love going to Mass every week. It's a great chance to reflect and connect with God. (My faith) has been a big part of my life since I was born."
Ledecky said she has always loved St. Anne, the mother of Mary, and chose her name for confirmation. Because her birthday is March 17, Ledecky also has a special devotion to St. Patrick.
She credited the example of men and women religious she has known for inspiration. She called the Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who taught her at Little Flower School in Bethesda, "great role models."
Her godfather, Jesuit Father Jim Shea, provincial of the Maryland Province of the Jesuits, is a close family friend and another Ledecky supporter.
"I couldn't have done any of this without everyone's support," Ledecky said. "My family, teammates, coaches, everyone at Little Flower, Stone Ridge and my neighborhood, all cheering me on and watching. It means so much to me."
She counts her family, which includes her dad David, her mom Mary Gen, and her 18-year-old brother Michael, as among her greatest role models and boosters. "They never pushed me too hard. They've been so supportive with everything," she said.
Ledecky said watching Michael swim inspired her to take up the sport. She eventually became a distance prodigy.
"I just always loved the social atmosphere and the competitive nature, and the way you work so hard and see yourself improve on a daily basis," she said.
Immaculate Heart of Mary Sister Rosemaron Rynn, principal at Little Flower, said the school community is rooting for the young swimmer and held a special send-off to the Olympic trials for her.
"She's a great young girl," Sister Rosemaron said. "She's kind, caring, responsible and very unassuming."
The Stone Ridge community is just as proud of its Olympic swimmer. The school's website lists her swimming accomplishments and even has T-shirts available: "Ledecky Team USA. London 2012. A Stone Ridge Girl."
"Everyone is extremely excited for Katie. This couldn't happen to a more deserving young lady," said Dwayne Bryant, the school's athletic director. "She's a regular, sweet kid, and the true definition of a student athlete."
Ledecky said she was looking forward to marching in the July 27 opening ceremonies, and perhaps do a little sightseeing after her event, scheduled to begin Aug. 2. She also said she is a little awestruck to be training with the swimmers she's looked up to and followed since she was a young girl.
"It's a thrill for me to be on the team and to represent the United States for the first time in a swim meet," she said. "The team's swimmers all seem to be great individuals. The local swimmers from our area, Kate Ziegler — who attended Bishop O'Connell High School in Arlington, Va. — and Matt McLean, have been especially nice."

Football fans foot the bill as networks, NFL reach record-breaking deals
As the hours tick away to the start of another season of National Football League play tonight, it is hard to miss the unmistakable sound of a mighty broadcast marketing and media machine clicking into place.
Viewers of this morning's Today show were greeted with the sight of anchors Matt Lauer and Al Roker standing in Lambeau Field at Green Bay, Wisc., cameras panning across rows of giddy fans as they voiced patronizing stories on the power and history of Packers fans.
NBC-owned outlets The Weather Channel, Spanish-language Telemundo and E! entertainment all are broadcasting from Wisconsin, where NBC just happens to be airing tonight's opening game between the Packers and the New Orleans Saints. Even President Obama can't stop the football-related furor, as his much-anticipated job-creation speech was shifted out of prime time to 7 p.m. to make way for the game's 8:30 p.m. start; the network's 7 p.m. pre-game special will air on four cable channels, Versus, Syfy, G4 and USA.
And this morning, sports media watchers awoke to news that ESPN sealed an eight-year deal with the NFL to keep Monday Night Football at the company until 2021. The cost, according to the New York Times: $15 billion, or $1.9 billion annually, a 73 percent spike from the previous deal.
Across the TV dial, the signs are obvious. Football is the backbone of a fading television industry and there is no one happier about a lockout-less fall than broadcasters and cable channels addicted to the volumes of young male viewers only sports can provide in big numbers.
"In some ways, I sense even a little more excitement this year, because so many of us were in doubt about this season," said Sean McManus, CBS Sports president, in a conference call Wednesday about the NFL season's start. "It's hard to imagine a better season than last year."
Indeed, at CBS like everywhere else in television, the numbers are impressive. According to McManus, last season was the highest-rated in 15 years for the network; their Steelers/Jets championship game in January was the most-watched in history, with nearly 55 million viewers.
Look at ratings figures from last TV season, and you will see that, among the most-watched 15 programs airing in 2010-11, eight were football broadcasts on NBC, CBS and Fox. They also happened to be the only shows in that group which drew markedly more male viewers, prized by advertisers because they watch television less and are harder to reach.
Forget about getting ready for some football. As the new NFL season kicks off today, you better get ready for some serious football-connected pandering by television outlets, along with increased cable fees aimed at passing along increasing rights fees directly to you.
For proof, look no further than ESPN's new Monday Night Football deal, which tacks on 500 hours of new programming – read: extra advertising revenue and ratings potential – while locking in 136 games for the channel's storied football TV franchise to 2021.
At a time when a Comcast-led NBC Universal is forging its own sports alliance from the bones of Versus, The Golf Channel and Comcast's regional sports channels, the need to land Monday Night Football at the Worldwide Leader was even more important.
Under the new arrangement, Sunday NFL Countdown expands to three hours, NFL Live expands to one hour year-round and new shows such as NFL 32 and NFL Kickoff will soon debut. There are provisions for bringing games to 144 countries outside the U.S. and broadcasts in 3-D, online and other digital platforms.
For fans, it's a double-edged sword. You'll get more access to games, data and analysis than ever before, presented on more mainstream platforms; TV executives go where the valuable viewers are and, these days, that means football.
But these deals also mean costs for cable service will rise, as channels such as ESPN pass their increased costs along to providers, who then pass them along to customers. The same squeeze happens in a subtler way with broadcast channels, who have gotten into nasty fights in recent years with cable companies over their own retransmission fees while paying a combined $3.1 billion annually for rights to air NFL games.
This success also means the NFL doesn't have to consider easing up on its blackout rules preventing local TV stations from airing home games that don't sell out. In the Tampa Bay area, where I live, that policy blacked out every Buccaneers home game last season and threatens to do so again this year.
"The blackout rules by and large have been effective," said CBS Sports executive producer and vice president of production Harold Bryant said Wednesday, noting the NFL has preferred a long-term view to short-term responses to teams struggling with long stretches of blackouts. "I don't think the NFL has any intention of lifting it."
That means we all should sit back and enjoy another exciting season of football action coming our way, thanks to the ability of millionaire players and billionaire team owners to realize what side of the golden goose their meal sits on.
But keep in mind the network of business deals and rights fees underlying every second of play you savor in the season to come.
Because, one way or another, you'll end up paying a pretty price for every moment.

Who's financially literate?
Who's not?
By Barbara
M. Whelehan Bankrate.com
What sets the financially literate apart from the illiterate?
The fast answer is that the financially literate have a well-rounded knowledge
of their personal finances, while the illiterate tend to be oblivious, Bankrate.com's
exclusive Financial Literacy Survey reveals.
Bankrate also uncovered some interesting distinctions between
the way men and women, Republicans and Democrats, and Southerners and Northeasterners
use credit cards.
What's most surprising is that so few people earned top marks.
More than a third of the survey participants received a big fat
"F" on their financial literacy report cards. About 60 percent of
those surveyed received a "B," "C" or "D" (roughly
20 percent falling in each grade category). Only 7 percent of participants aced
the survey and earned an "A." That number is down from 9 percent a
year ago. Altogether 1,000 randomly selected adults participated in the scientific
national survey of the American population conducted by RoperASW for Bankrate.
To be considered "financially literate," you have
to score an "A" or a "B" on the test, which, in broad terms,
measures whether people know 12 common money-smart moves to make, and whether
they actually do them.
Common traits of financially literate
The 26 percent who received an A or B, those deemed "financially literate,"
share these traits:
Financial Literacy grade
Average age
Mean household income
Have children
Have credit card
Have a checking account
Have a mortgage
Traits of the 'flunkees'
Those who failed the literacy test are a bit younger -- age 41 on average.
Their household incomes are lower, averaging $37,200. Fewer than half (45 percent)
are married and many (67 percent) have children. About one in three has a mortgage.
And if you make a bet with an "F," you're least likely to collect
by check: Thirty percent don't have a checking account.
People who scored a C or D are in the
middle of the pack in several ways. Their incomes fall midway between the two
levels, averaging $52,300. Their average age is 47, with 63 percent married,
75 percent with children and 42 percent with a mortgage.
While higher age and higher income go
hand in hand with financial literacy, higher education doesn't. There was no
correlation between a person's education and his or her score.
Gender is not a factor in financial literacy,
either. Men and women did equally well -- or poorly -- on the test. While the
lack of correlation between gender and financial literacy is consistent with
last year's test, the study did uncover some striking differences between the
sexes on a few points.
Men and women and money
Perhaps women are better than men at facing their mortality: They are
more likely than men to have prepared a will -- 44 percent vs. 35 percent of
Men are more likely to know the mortgage rate they are paying.
Twenty-one percent of female mortgage holders professed ignorance about their
mortgage rates, while only 11 percent of males did. And 44 percent of the women
surveyed also admit to finding the process of getting the best mortgage deal
confusing vs. 33 percent of the men. But of those who did know their rates,
women mortgage holders say they are paying an average 6.16 percent while males
are paying 6.32 percent.
Women hold more credit cards than men -- three vs. two and a half
for men. Roughly 10 percent of the women throw caution to the wind with their
credit cards, often spending more than they can pay off immediately, propelled
by the belief that "life is short and you have to live for today."
Roughly twice as many men share that whimsical attitude. And 58 percent of women
describe themselves as savers vs. 49 percent of men.
What about political party affiliation?
Financial literacy cannot be cut along party lines. Americans of all
political stripes -- Republican, Democrat or Independent -- scored equally poorly,
averaging a "D."
Interestingly, Republicans (70 percent) are bigger users of credit
than both Democrats and Independents (60 percent each). Republicans also are
much more apt than Independents to hold loans other than a mortgage (45 percent
vs. 29 percent), and they are much more likely than Democrats to have taken
out a home equity loan or line of credit in particular (41 percent vs. 31 percent).
More Republicans have maxed out a credit card -- 27 percent vs. 20 percent of
Democrats. And Democrats are more likely than Republicans to switch to credit
cards with lower rates.
Regional differences
Credit cards are most plentiful among folks in the Northeast, but only 3 percent
of those in the New England and the mid-Atlantic states need them to buy necessities,
while three times as many southerners, westerners and midwesterners are dependent
on credit cards for necessities. Credit card users in the corn belt are more
apt to pay their credit card bills in full each month -- 68 percent vs. 52 percent
of folks in the Northeast and 54 percent of those in the South.
How the literates think
More important than their demographic profile is how this year's participants
characterize themselves. For example, when asked, "Would you say that,
in general, you are more of a spender or a saver?" 71 percent of the people
who scored an "A" or "B" say they are savers, while only
38 percent of the people who got an "F" identify themselves as savers.
When asked if they plan carefully before making decisions, or if they tend to
make decisions spontaneously, 88 percent of the financially literate describe
themselves as careful planners, compared to 62 percent of the "F"
Spontaneity flunks our test: Only 9 percent
of the literates say they make spontaneous decisions, compared to 31 percent
of the faltering.
The financially literate also tend to
be more aware of the fine details of their financial lives. Four in five know
such boring-but-important financial details such as their credit card interest
rates, while only 56 percent of the "F" group could recall them. And
while 88 percent of the financially literate know what their banks charge monthly
for various services, only two-thirds of the faltering boasted the same knowledge.
More financial literates also tend to use the Internet to manage their finances
-- about half vs. a quarter of the financially faltering.
What the financially literate know,
Also revealing is the mindset of the financial literates vs. that of the
less-savvy participants. Financial literates place more importance on key money
management behaviors. The table below shows the percentage of participants in
each of the grade categories that agree that these particular activities are
"very important" to good money management.
Paying bills on time so you don't get late fees
Reading your bank account statements regularly
Making more than the minimum payments on your credit card
Preparing a will
Contributing to a retirement account
Keeping an emergency fund of at least 3 months' living expenses
Comparison shopping for the best deal on your mortgage
Shopping around for the best insurance quotes and coverage
Following a monthly budget
Adjusting your W-4 form annually to make sure you�re not giving the government
too much money
Checking your credit report annually for accuracy
Looking for and switching to credit cards with lower rates
But if actions speak louder than words,
then a look at actual behaviors might reveal the biggest differences between
those who received the highest marks and those who failed the financial literacy
test. For example, nearly all of the financially literate say they always pay
their bills on time to avoid getting late fees, while only two-thirds of the
financially faltering do so. Three-quarters of the literate have an emergency
fund with three months of living expenses saved up; only one-fifth of the faltering
do. The table below breaks it all down:
Paying bills on time so you don�t get late fees
Reading your bank statements regularly
Adjusting your W-4 form annually to make sure you�re not giving the
government too much money
Shopping around for the best insurance coverage
Looking for and switching credit cards with lower rates
All the survey participants do share one thing in common -- concern
about credit card debt. Nearly three-quarters of those polled, regardless of
their level of financial astuteness, are "very concerned" about their credit
card debt.

The Lady Bears Triumph over Castilleja

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The Bears defeated the Gators in one of the closest matches of their season. The ladies had a strong start, leading by 4 at one point. However, the Bear's defense began to suffer, leading the game to be more intense and require a more demanding performance from M-A, regardless of the heavy rain and harsh weather. The ladies rose to the challenge, and closed out the game with a 13-12 victory.
In the past, M-A lost to Castilleja at Coach Park's Field, with the Gators finishing with a decisive 14-8 victory. The Bears did not let their history phase them, but knew this game would test their defensive and communicative skills.
The game started out with Castilleja obtaining the first goal of the game within the first 3 minutes of the first half. The Bears were not distraught however, and answered back with a goal within 2 minutes of the first. With a crucial steal by junior Hannah Wilson, the Bear's offense seemed confident and decisive. However, this would prove not to be enough, for the Gators fought back, shooting another goal. Within the first 5 minutes, the Bears were behind one goal, 2-1 favoring Castilleja.
Junior Amanda Wiseman had a impressive steal, accelerating the Bear's offense and assisting sophomore Sally Carlson in earning a point for their team. With 15 and a half minutes remaining, the Bear's were up 3-2. M-A seemed unstoppable, successfully earning 4 more goal. With 9 minutes left, M-A was up 6-2, and only improved as Wiseman and Carlson each scored a goal, leading M-A 8-2. However in the last 3 minutes of the first half, the Bear's defense began to wither and Castilleja followed through with a play that lead them to a goal, and in the last 21 seconds, the Gator's found a way to score 2 goals. At the end of the first half, the Bears were up 8-5.
What seemed to begin a decisive victory for the Bears began to turn int0 a fight for maintaining their lead. Within the first 3 minutes, Castilleja started the second half the same way they started the first, with a goal by one of their key players. Junior Eliza Fitz capitalized on one of the Gator's poor passes, stealing the ball and helping the Bear's revive their offense. M-A began to redeem themselves, with 17 minutes left they were up 10-6, with 4 goals unanswered by Castilleja. With a hunger for victory, the Gators began to fight back. Suddenly, the Castilleja began to capitalize on defensive mistakes by M-A, coming back with 4 goals within 5 minutes. The score turned suddenly into 11-9, still favoring the Bears. Realizing victory began to slip away for the Bear's, Coach Juliette Mittlemann called a timeout in order to plan a strategy, hoping to help the Bears put another point on the scoreboard. However, their efforts were not immediately effective; Castilleja with 7 minutes remaining was closer than ever, becoming tied with the Bear's, 11-11.
Needing immediate action, the Bear's began to ignite their offense again, with Wiseman scoring a crucial goal within the last 5 minutes to give M-A the lead. The momentum began to go back and forth, with Castilleja scoring another goal within the last 4 minutes of the game.The score was 12-12, until Amanda Wiseman finally silenced the crowds with an amazing leap shot in the very last minute once and for all. The Bears began to slow the game by just keeping possession, helping the M-A finally take home victory with 13-12 showing on the scoreboard.
The game proved to be a test of the Bear's perseverance and determination, and was one of the closest games the Bears have played this season. They next face Sacred Heart College Prepatory, at Coach Parks Field.

Earlier this week, Denver police officers turned in their nightsticks. The day of the blackjack is over in the city of Denver. The rules have changed. According to the Denver Post, Police Chief Gerry Whitman said "the new policy puts into the rule book the common sense practices already used by officers in most cases".
The new policy that the Chief refers to is the result of the Denver Police Department implementing deadly force audit recommendations contained in the PARC 2008 study. In addition to substituting foldout batons for nightsticks, changes include: officers not being allowed to use a stun gun on anyone who could fall and hurt themselves or may be driving a car or holding a firearm, or the elderly and disabled; officers may not strike a person using a flashlight or handgun.
Several British police forces have recently switched over to telescoping batons(which don't fracture bones as readily as a nightstick). There were complaints of British police smashing the shins and knees of suspects with billy clubs. Officers were accused of using American-style police tactics.
The Denver Police Department and Chief Whitman have apparently found some sound ideas in the PARC report and are implementing them. In 2009, the Denver police initiated 35 disciplinary actions against officers for conduct ranging from shootings to use of unnecessary force to drug and alcohol problems.
Not everyone sees the PARC 2008 audit as a good thing, though. Mike Mosco, president of the Denver Police Protective Association, said in the Denver Post, "The policies on which officers have been training for months solve problems that don't exist with the Police Department and could trip up officers in the future".

Anti-Malarial Drugs for Travel to the Peruvian Amazon
This is the most common question travelers ask when planning their travel to Peru. Malaria is a serious disease which humans can contract by being bitten by an infected Mosquito. Malaria is present in some places in Tambopata and Iquitos, however it is extremely rare. While the majority of locals, tourism staff and guides do not to take the vaccine, many travelers prefer to play it safe and opt for one of the following anti-malarial drugs recommended by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

Oh, I want to know
How it feels when we die
Can you take me under?
Dream over, grieve no more
And I breathe one last time
Now I lay thee down
Oh, she watched me leave
Me bleeding on the floor
As she takes me under
Dream over, grieve no more
And I breathe one last time
Now I lay thee down
Oh, godless mimicry while lights cemetery
Flashes of the angel's ivory wings
Images so many broken dreams
Of pain, terror, fear crippling
Follow the light into the tunnel
Or will it end up in a black hole?
Follow the light into the tunnel, dead in its end
Was it lost? Was it murdered?
Within the eye of the beholder
Was it lost? Was it murdered?
Within the eye of the beholder
What have I done?
I've gone and killed
The only one I love
How could I do this?
I'm screaming at God
Why do you curse me?
Fuck it, loaded, sever the day
Dream over, grieve no more
And breathe one last time
Now I lay thee
Now I lay thee down, underground

The Inverse Square Law of Light
Product Type: Lesson Plan/Activity
Audience: Educators, Informal Education
Grade Levels: 5-12
Publication Year: 2011
Subjects: Mathematics, General Science, Physical Science, Space Science
Students measure the relationship between distance and brightness of light. Once students discover the relationship, they can begin to understand how astronomers use this knowledge to determine the distances to stars and faraway galaxies.
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to do the following:
- Demonstrate that the brightness of a source of light is a function of the inverse square of its distance.
- Understand how the brightness of light can be used to measure distances, even to stars and faraway galaxies.

After a mostly uneventful first half, Lavrusky turned the tides with a stunning goal in the final 30 seconds of the half. Stewart sent a pass to Lavrusky near the right sideline, and Lavrusky dribbled up center and lofted a shot from about 25 yards out over the San Diego State goalkeeper Melanie Vaughn to give UCLA the 1-0 halftime lead.
"We wanted to score earlier and put them on their heels even more, and we didn't do that, so it was a good thing that we scored just before the half to set the tone coming out in the second half," said UCLA head coach Amanda Cromwell.
UCLA came up firing in the start of the second half, but Vaughn made big saves on a pair of Sarah Killion shots to keep the Bruins off the board. Vaughn finished the game with seven saves.
The Bruins scored on a set piece in the 85th minute. Caprice Dydasco's corner kick hit the crossbar, and Dahlkemper hammered home the rebound to the lower right corner for a 2-0 lead.
"We've been working on corners a lot and haven't been real effective on scoring on them, so that was one of our goals - getting a goal on a set play," said Cromwell.
UCLA continued to pepper the Aztecs with shots, with Vaughn making two saves on shots by Lavrusky and another on a shot by Taylor Smith. UCLA outshot San Diego State, 24-6 and had a 9-2 advantage on shots on goal. Bruin goalkeeper Katelyn Rowland made two saves and recorded her third shutout of the year.
The Bruins will stay in Los Angeles next week with road games at Pepperdine on Sept. 20 and at Loyola Marymount on Sept. 22.

All I have to say is…"wow".. I did not see this coming. I knew Gears of War 3 would look good, heck Gears is the reason I bought an Xbox 360 back in 07, but after watching the latest campaign trailer for Gears of War 3, I'm now convinced that the Xbox 360 has hidden powers laying under that motherboard somewhere, serious shit, I have moved Gears of War 3 to the top of my list for 2011 games to look out for. Simply amazing! Check out the video below.
How is this possible on the Xbox 360??

Kansas farmers made slow progress in
harvest activities this past week.
Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that 89
percent of the corn crop has been harvested. The report says 90
percent of the soybean crop and 79 percent of the sorghum crop are
also in the bin.
Meanwhile, farmers have planted 96 percent of the 2010 winter
wheat crop. Those with the most fields left to plant are in
southeastern Kansas. About 88 percent of the crop has been planted
in that region.

Matthew Connell - NICU ECMO
During his birth, Matthew Connell aspirated meconium and was given a 10 percent chance of survival. Shortly after being airlifted to ACH, Matthew went into cardiac arrest. The staff in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) revived him, and he was placed on ECMO (a heart-lung bypass machine) to allow his lungs to clear. He was on the ECMO machine for five days and then moved to the NICU, where he stayed for two weeks. Matthew is now a normal 7-year-old who enjoys playing Star Wars, doing taekwondo, playing soccer and drawing.
Travis Marcus - DeBakey VAD Child
Fourteen-year-old Travis was a high risk candidate for the DeBakey VAD Child device, but he had no other options. The DeBakey VAD Child allowed Travis' organs time to recover from heart failure, allowing his body to be more prepared for transplant, once a heart became available.
"The biggest thing in my mind was, I hope it works – and it has," says Rick Marcus, just weeks after the new heart pump was implanted. "The VAD gives us the opportunity to wait for a heart and the opportunity to be selective. This way we can be sure we get the right heart and don't have to take the chances of a mismatch."
"We are so grateful that Dr. DeBakey developed this pump and that it was developed in time to save Travis," says Rick. "He spent 56 days on the DeBakey and there's no way he would have made it on ECMO that long; he might have lasted two or three weeks at the most.
Haven McCormick - CVICU ECMO
Haven was born in January 2006 with a congenital heart defect — pulmonary stenosis. In simpler terms, the artery that connects her heart to her lungs was almost completely closed. She had her first heart surgery at 11 days old, but when they took her off the vent after the surgery, her stats started dropping. She was placed on ECMO, a heart-lung bypass machine, and improved dramatically over the next 36 hours. Now 1 year old, she still has feeding/eating problems but her heart continues to grow and work better. If all goes well, she will need her next surgery sometime next year.

The word honor describes a way of life at Hampden-Sydney. The Honor Code espouses a set of ethical principles which make it possible for the Hampden-Sydney community to live in an environment of mutual trust and respect. These principles, the core of the College's mission, "to form good men and good citizens in an atmosphere of sound learning," become the core of one's lifelong ethical standards. A less formal tradition that promotes civility is the expectation that a Hampden-Sydney student will speak to everyone he meets.
C Day is a campus-wide, day-long event during the fall involving faculty and staff from nearly every department on campus inviting students to explore interests, make connections, and celebrate the Hampden-Sydney community. Featuring speakers, activities, and informational sessions, it is among the many opportunities students have to develop as a person of integrity and as a Hampden-Sydney Man.
Whether worn at football and lacrosse games or required at special campus events, the blue blazer and tie make frequent appearances in the community. Hampden-Sydney men know how to look their best.
Each fall, alumni have the opportunity to return to campus for the weekend to renew friendships and become reacquainted with the lure of Hampden-Sydney in autumn. The weekend centers on a home football game and "hillgating" (tailgating at H-SC) when hundreds of the College's alumni, students, and friends gather on the lawn of historic Cushing Hall and the area surrounding Everett Stadium and Fulton Field to renew friendships and celebrate each other's company. The weekend usually features a concert and intercollegiate soccer as well as friendly alumni vs. students lacrosse and rugby games.
Titled simply, "The Game," this Division III football match between Hampden-Sydney and Randolph-Macon College is the oldest small college football rivalry in the south. Needless to say, students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members show up in great numbers to support the Tigers.
This springtime celebration of brotherhood revolves around the over 10 social fraternities at Hampden-Sydney. The College Activities Council (CAC) sponsors a school-wide concert while individual fraternities host bands, special events, competitions, and service projects.
Every Hampden-Sydney student and alumnus will, at some point, find himself singing tribute to his alma mater, just as his brothers did before him.

Colourful birds from all over the world; marabous, vultures, falcons, eagles, cranes, ibises, flamingos, swans, storks, large and small parrots, macaws and an abundance of exotic birds that bring a further artistic touch to our small paradise with their skills, elegance, and the palette of flashing colours as they open their wings.
You will also see unique primates such as the Lemurs, Capuchin Monkey, Titi Monkey and the Saimiri, which looks more like a squirrel than a monkey. The Siamang from Asia,is as punctual as the roosters and the Debrazza or White-bearded Monkey also known as Bishop Monkey in Spanish due to its white beard which gives it a very solemn look.
Bird of Prey Show
If what you want is to feel the adrenaline flowing at high speed through your veins, you can now enjoy one of the world's best bird of prey show. This show will enable you to witness a broad variety of birds in free flight at close range. Indeed, we will observe them flying only a few centimetres over our heads, hopping, playing about, and even walking. Keep your eyes wide open, so your retinas can record these amazing displays of pure power and speed. Don't miss the flight of the eagles overhead, sometimes so high in the sky that you loose sight of them.
Exotic Bird Show
The power, strength, and speed of these birds of prey find their right counterbalance on the multi-coloured explosion of our three free flight and pirouette shows featuring a broad range of exotic birds. Intelligent parrots, macaws, talking parrots, hornbills, and others will delight you will their vast array of skills either on the ground, in full flight or interacting with people.
Jungle Raid
Jungle Raid will allow you to experience a real journey through the jungle since it features a thrilling circuit: with ropes, bridges, passages and tunnels of over 300 meters long. Lots of adventures are awaiting all our visitors who, showing the courage of Indiana Jones and dare to go deep into Jungle Raid without the need of a whip. Remember, at Las Águilas - Jungle Park, every path leads to a unique adventure. Even more so in Jungle Raid! This attraction is included in the entrance price.
You will be left breathless with the Bob, the most entertaining way to travel across our park, so fast that you might not get a chance to enjoy the view! This is because Bob is, overall, a trip in the fast lane. Cover over 800 meters of jungle, crossing the tracks at high speed driving one of these amazing vehicles. If you think you meet the requirements don't hesitate to come to Las Águilas - Jungle Park and ask for Bob. A unique experience is waiting for you. Live it!! This attraction is not included in the entrance price. It costs € 4.00 per ride
White Lions
Two white lions from South Africa stand out from all the cats living at the Park. This is an endangered species, and only a few individuals remain worldwide. They share the enclosure with another pair of brown African lions.
A few steps from the white lions you can enjoy the sight of the great hunters the Leopards. For many they are the most beautiful creatures on earth. Tender-looking, they are also lonesome and ferocious.
The Jaguars are the Park's black pearls with pitch-black skin, a genetic trait that is common to many leopards, especially in Asia.
By the entrance to the park you will find the Tiger´s enclosure. You will see two subspecies of tigers, from India, the increasingly common Bengal Tiger and its off-shoot, the White Tiger of Rewa, an incredibly spectacular creature due to the complete white tone of its fur, and its amazingly blue eyes.
Pumas are the largest cats in mainland America. They are also known as mountain lions, Florida panthers, and red tigers. These cats are about to become an endangered species. However, recently their numbers have been gradually increased.
The small Humboldt Penguins are not to be missed. Contrary to popular belief, this species is not from the Antarctica region but from the temperate waters of South America's Pacific coastline. You'll see them swimming or diving underwater, or outside baking for hours in the sun.
The unique species of Pigmy hippopotamus is smaller than any hippo species you normally see in films or documentaries. Pigmy hippopotamuses live in the African equatorial jungle and, surprisingly for many, they are vegetarians. At Jungle Park we have faithfully recreated their habitat. As a result, they feel so comfortable in it that they did not hesitate in bringing Tapón, our baby hippo, into the world. The sight of this peculiar family is a sheer pleasure to watch.
Crocodiles and Aligators
Crocodiles and aligators are the largest and most ferocious of the reptiles. Surprisingly they can't use their enormous jaws to chew. Instead they use a tearing action on their victims. Once closed, it is very difficult to open the jaws again.
If you have a passion for cold-blooded creatures, you'll only need to visit the enclosures that house snakes, iguanas, and turtles, to see how they gradually recharge their batteries as the sunrays gain in intensity.
Raccoons, Red Pandas, and Meerkats
You will also see Raccoons, Red Pandas, and Meerkats you remember the character Timon from the Lion King? He belonged to a family of South African Meerkats.

The shift operator for a quantum lattice current algebra associated with sl(2) is produced in the form of product of local factors. This gives a natural deformation of the Sugawara construction for discrete space-time.

For a subset S⊂\mathbb{N}={1, 2, ...} and a commutative ring R with unit, let R[q]S denote the completion \underleftarrow{lim}f(q)R[q]/(f(q)), where f(q) runs over all the products of the powers of cyclotomic polynomials Φn(q) with n∈S. We will show that under certain conditions the completion R[q]S can be regarded as a "ring of analytic functions" defined on the set of roots of unity of order in S. This means that an element of R[q]S vanishes if it vanishes on a certain type of infinite set of roots of unity, or if its power series expansion at one root of unity vanishes. In particular, the completion \mathbb{Z}[q]\mathbb{N}{=}\underleftarrow{lim}n\mathbb{Z}[q]/((1−q)(1−q2)…(1−qn)) enjoys this property.

We report about some results, interesting examples, problems and conjectures revolving around the parabolic Kostant partition functions, the parabolic Kostka polynomials and "saturation" properties of several generalizations of the Littlewood–Richardson numbers. The Contents contains the titles of main topics we are going to discuss in the present paper.

We compare several constructions of compactified jacobians — using semistable sheaves, semistable projective curves, degenerations of abelian varieties, and combinatorics of cell decompositions — and show that they are equivalent. We give a detailed description of the "canonical compactified jacobian" in degree g−1. Finally, we explain how Kapranov's compactification of configuration spaces can be understood as a toric analog of the extended Torelli map.

In this paper we review some classes of exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations under a time-independent external straining flow, centering around the celebrated Burgers vortex. The objectives are (i) to clarify the relationship between them and (ii) to examine them as models of turbulence. Particularly we study the Lundgren spiral model for turbulence in the presence of azimuthal vorticity (that is, with axial velocity). The implication on linear stability of the Burgers vortex is briefly discussed.
Akio Tamagawa
In the present paper, we consider the following problem: For a given closed point x of a special fiber of a generically smooth family X→S of stable curves (with dim(S)=1), is there a covering Y→X that is generically étale (i.e., étale over the generic fiber(s) of X→S, not only over the generic point(s) of X), where Y is also a family of stable curves, such that the image in X of the non-smooth locus of Y contains x? Among other things, we prove that this is affirmative (possibly after replacing S by a finite extension) in the case where S is the spectrum of a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic whose residue field is algebraic over \mathbb{F}p.
Kyoji Saito
Let V\mathbb{R} be a real vector space with an irreducible action of a finite reflection group W. We study the semi-algebraic geometry of the W-quotient affine variety V//W with the discriminant divisor DW in it and the τ-quotient affine variety V//W//τ with the bifurcation set BW in it, where τ is the \mathbb{G}a-action on V//W obtained by the integration of the primitive vector field D on V//W and BW is the discriminant divisor of the induced projection : DW→V//W//τ.Our goal is the construction of a one-parameter family of the semi-algebraic polyhedra KW(λ) in V\mathbb{R} which are dual to the Weyl chamber decomposition of V\mathbb{R}.As an application, we obtain two geometric descriptions of generators for π1 ((V//W)\mathbb{C}reg), satisfying the Artin braid relations.The key of the construction of the polyhedra KW(λ) is a theorem on a linearization of the tube domain in (V//W)\mathbb{R} over the simplicial cone EW in TW, \mathbb{R}.

The aim of this paper is to discuss for Wishart processes some properties which are analogues of the corresponding well-known ones for Bessel processes. In fact, we mainly concentrate on the local absolute continuity relationship between the laws of Wishart processes with different dimensions, a property which, in the case of Bessel processes, has proven to play a rather important role in a number of applications.
