Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Android Honeycomb tablet gets official
Seen last week in some leaked photos that suggested it's headed to T-Mobile USA, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus has been officially announced a few hours ago.
The new tablet is the true successor to the original 7 inch Galaxy Tab, and is both lighter (345g) and thinner (10mm) than it. The Tab 7.0 Plus obviously offers enhanced features, like Android 3.2 Honeycomb, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and HSPA+ connectivity. The 7 inch display's resolution remained unchanged, though: 1024 x 600 pixels.
The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus will come in 16GB and 32GB flavors. Other features include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, GPS, 3MP rear camera with Led flash, and 2MP front-facing camera.
According to Samsung, the new Honeycomb tablet will be first available in Indonesia and Austria (starting late October). After that, the tablet will be launched around the world in Europe, the US, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. For the moment, there's no word on the price of the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, but it should be lower than the price of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 (which is also unknown).

Powers claims elite women's time trial title
By Kathie Reid
Irvine, Calif. (Aug. 6, 2008)--Alison Powers (Boulder, Colo./Colavita-Sutter Home p/b Cooking Light) fulfilled a goal set seven months ago on Wednesday when she won the national title in the elite women's time trial at the 2008 USA Cycling Junior, U23 and Elite Road National Championships in Orange County, Calif. against a field of 33 women.
Irvine, Calif. (Aug. 6, 2008)--Alison Powers (Boulder, Colo./Colavita-Sutter Home p/b Cooking Light) fulfilled a goal set seven months ago on Wednesday when she won the national title in the elite women's time trial at the 2008 USA Cycling Junior, U23 and Elite Road National Championships in Orange County, Calif. against a field of 33 women.
And she did so handily, completing the 33-kilometer course in 49 minutes, 18.90 seconds, besting second-placed Mara Abbott (Boulder, Colo./Team Columbia) by 1 minute, 39 seconds. Chrissy Ruiter (Bend, Ore./ValueAct Capital) came in third at 51:05.50.
"Since I found out that nationals were at the same time as the Olympics, I have wanted to win this race," an elated Powers said referring to the absence of Olympians Kristin Armstrong , Amber Neben and Christine Thorburn – the three athletes who stood on the top three spots of the national time trial podium last year. "Yes, the three best time trialists are in Beijing right now, but I have to take advantage of it if I can. So, since January, this has been my number one goal."
One of five women who has spent the majority of the season racing with the Italian-based USA Cycling Women's National Team program throughout Europe, Powers explained that her European schedule precluded her from racing in a great number of time trials, and her first one was not until late May. Since July, though, the National Team has raced in one time trial each week as part of stage races in the Czech Republic, France, and Germany. It was at Germany's Thuringen Rhundfardt that Powers had her best time trial result, placing 10th. "That was pretty good because I was pretty tired," she said. "So it was good to know that I was coming along."
Asked about the national championship course that began in the city of Irvine, Powers explained that it suited her strengths. "We drove it two days ago and I liked it right away," she said. "The longer the course is, the more it works in my favor. And we rode it yesterday and I liked it. The first 7k was really hard and then there was a section that was really fast. You could find a really nice rhythm. And then, of course, the big hill after the turnaround. But I knew the last 5 to 7k would be gradual uphill and you just had to wait, save a little bit in the tank, because that was really gonna hurt."
Abbott, last year's U23 national time trial champion [this year, Rebecca Much (Chicago, Ill./Webcor Builders) took the U23 jersey] who has also raced a full schedule in Europe this season with Team Columbia, commented on the course as well. "The climbing came so close to the beginning that the climb potentially could have been more decisive if the course had been reversed and the hill was at the end." she said. "Everyone's fresh going into that climb so it's not as much of an advantage [for me] as it would have been later in the course."
Ruiter, a member of the National Team with Powers this year, almost didn't even compete Wednesday, having just arrived from Europe at 10:00 p.m. Tuesday night. She said that she and her coach, Jim Miller, USA Cycling's Director of Endurance Programs, had decided that it wasn't really necessary to race the time trial since she'd arrived so late. She said that her time trial results in Europe have not been "anything special," so it wasn't a high priority. But, she said "I got here this morning, and was like, I might as well give it a try. So it's pretty exciting." I didn't even see the course. The first time I was on the course was during the time trial."She attributed her unexpected success to a combination of having the opportunity to race in Europe, having a week's rest prior to returning stateside, and the lack of pressure she put on herself given that she did not expect to race.
Wednesday's men's U23 event included a field of 58 who raced the same course as the elite women, and it was Peter Stetina (Boulder, Colo./Garmin-Chipotle), another racer who's spent a lot of time in Europe, but with the USA Cycling National Development Team, who was crowned national champion. Stetina's time was 44:27.70, a solid 1 minute, 27 seconds faster than second-placed Bobby Sweeting (Bradenton, Fla./TOSHIBA-Santo). Taylor Sheldon (Breckenridge, Colo./Team Rio Grande) took third place with a time of 46:17.30.
Stetina said that, like Powers, he had been gunning for this race ever since the location was announced. "My uncle actually lives about five miles away, so whenever I want warm weather training, like in the winter, I come here," he explained. "I know all these roads, the town, and all the restaurants and all that. The only thing that could have been better was if it was in my hometown."
A strong climber, Stetina said he has been working hard all season on his time trialing skills in an effort to become a GC contender. "I've been top 10 [in time trials] all year," he explained, referring to finishes at Leige-Baston-Leige for U23's, The Redlands Bicycle Classic and The Cascade Cycling Classic, "but I haven't been able to crack the top spot, so it's about time."
And Stetina said he knew out on the course that he was riding the way he'd hoped. "I know the guy who got third today – Taylor [Sheldon] – he started 30 seconds ahead of me," he said. "He was really strong, always kicked my butt in time trials. He was a good rabbit to have and my goal was to catch him early, get him fast, and I knew I'd be having a good ride if I could do that. And then at the turn, I saw I had a lot of time on Nick Frey (Des Moines, Iowa/TIME Pro Cycling) who was the defending champ [and started 1 minute behind him], so I just put my head down to the finish. I felt really good."
Adam Leibovitz (Indianapolis, Ind./Mesa Cycles Racing Team) took the victory in the largest field of the day, the 102-rider deep junior men's 17-18 event. With a time of 27:11.30 on the 18-kilometer course, silver medalist Ian Boswell (Bend, Ore./CMG/Bike 'N Hike Giant/Russell) was just 7.10 seconds behind, and bronze medalist Andrew Barker (Lakewood, Colo./5280 Magazine) followed Boswell's time by a narrow .10 seconds.
For Leibovitz, pulling on the Stars-and-Stripes jersey was sweet redemption. A member of the junior national team, he had a disappointing ride at the world championships in South Africa just two weeks ago. "Worlds was a bummer," he said, "because my bike broke right at the start [of the time trial] and I crashed in the road race. This makes the entire year worth it now." While elated with his result, Leibovitz was a bit surprised. "I've been sick for the past two weeks. I just went out there and did my thing the best I could, but I felt really slow." As just the 18th rider out, he had to wait a long time to find his time would remain the best on the day.
Jerika Hutchinson (Mount Shasta, Calif./Team Tibco) successfully defended her junior women's 17-18 title, clocking a time of 31:43/40 on the 18-kilometer course. Danielle Haulman (Denver, Colo./5280 Magazine) took the silver medal at 32:17.13, and Cinthia Lehner (Greer, S.C./Hincapie-Barkley Development) was awarded bronze with a time of 33:56.0
Like Leibovitz, Hutchinson's win was also redemption for her performance at junior world's where she placed 12th after reaching the podium in with a third-place effort in 2007. "It's been kind of an on-and-off season for time trialing for me," she said. "I had a couple of dry spells, and then junior world's didn't go the greatest for me. So when I came into this race, I just came in giving it everything I had left, to just prove I can still race. I worked really hard for this, so it's just nice to have hard work pay off."
In the elite men's time trial, second-year racer, Jonathan Chodroff (Kennet Square, Pa./CRCA-Empire Cycling Team) took the gold with a time of 44:14.80 seconds on the 33-kilometer course. Mike Olheiser (Huntsville, Ala./Memphis MotorWerks-Cervello) was second in 45:09.50 and Andy Jacques-Maynes (Capitola, Calif./California Giant Berry Farms) turned in the third best time at 45:14.00
A former collegiate rower, Chodroff was 15th last year in the U23 men's event where he raced without any time trial gear. This year, he came in with not only the right gear, but good results, such as his win at The Fitchburg-Longsjo Classic. "I knew I always had the power and a big engine," he said. "It was just a matter of learning how to get in the right position to show that."
In the junior men's 15-16 event, Lawson Craddock (Houston, Tex./Northwest Cycling Club) took the champion's jersey with a time of 27:04.00 on the 18-kilometer course. In the field of 81, the silver medal went to Anders Newbury (Fairfield, Ver./Hot Tubes Cycling), and Chris Wallace (Shawnee, Kan./Mesa Cycles Racing Team) took the bronze.
A field of 14 junior 15-16 women raced the same 18 kilometers as the junior 15-16 men, as Coryn Rivera (Tustin, Calif./Kahala LaGrange) took her 17th career national championship jersey with a time of 31:50.30. Rivera competes in cyclo-cross and track as well as road events. Kaitlin Antonneau (Racine, Wis./Nova-IsCorp) was the silver medal winner at 32:07.40 and Jessica Prinner (South Elgin, Ill./Athletes by Design) took bronze at 32:57.80.
The remaining junior categories – men's and women's 13-14 and 10-12 – rode an 11-kilometer course, and John Funk (Topeka, Kan./GP Velotek) took the national champion's jersey in the junior men's 13-14 with a time of 21:14.20. In the closest event of the day, Alexander Freund (Davis, Calif./Davis Bike Club) finished just .10 seconds behind to take the silver, and Kyle Torres (Laguna Niguel, Calif./Sho-Air/Sonance) was .40 seconds behind Freund for the bronze.
In a field of 23, Zoe Frazier (Suwanee, Ga./Frazier Cycling) claimed the national champion's jersey in the junior women's 13-14 time trial with a time of 23:25.00. Grace Alexander (Boise, Idaho/BYRDS) took silver at just .10 seconds down, while bronze medalist Karla Lopez (El Paso, Tex./Colavita NM p/b JNF) came in at 24:36.30.
Philip O'Donnell (Suwanee, Ga./Frazier Cycling) claimed the Stars-and-Stripes jersey in the junior men's 10-12 event with a time of 23:38.10, besting the field of 41. Noah Granigan (Cape May, N.J./Team Somerset) was second, while Dylan Drummond (Walnut Creek, Calif./Tieni Duro) claimed the bronze.
And in the junior women's 10-12 time trial, Laurel Rathburn (Monument, Colo./Team 5280 Magazine) defeated second-placed defending champion, Katrina Howard (Fresno, Calif./Central Valley Cycling) by just 10.50 seconds with her finishing time of 25:11.20. Dominique Shore (Alpharetta, Ga./Frazier Cycling) was third.
The 2008 USA Cycling Junior, U23 and Elite Road National Championships continues on Thursday with the with the criterium competitions. Beginning at 9:00 a.m. P.D.T, the U23 women and men, as well as all categories of juniors will compete.

Elkhart Memorial wrestler Tieshawn Johnson keeps on learning, winning and smiling
Tieshawn Johnson of Elkhart Memorial is 34-0 heading to the semistate. Among the lessons the wrestler learned is humility following a loss in the "ticket" round at the 2013 semistate.
ELKHART — Always with a smile on his face, Tieshawn Johnson has learned many lessons during his wrestling career, first at West Side Middle School and then at Elkhart Memorial High School.
While using a quick, explosive style, he has learned about takedowns, escapes and angles.
The 195-pound Crimson Charger senior with a 34-0 record heading into the Fort Wayne Semistate Saturday, Feb. 15, at Memorial Coliseum, has also learned humility.
It was a hard lesson punctuated at last year's semistate.
"I went in there way overconfident," said Johnson, who lost in the "ticket" round that would have sent him to the 2013 IHSAA State Finals. "I have to stay humble. I've learned from my mistakes. You can't overlook anyone."
With one last chance in 2014 to join Dan Kratzer (1973 at 145), Aaron Moss (1993 at 135), Nick Iannarelli (1999 at 103), Chris Miller (2004 at 112), Nick Corpe (2005 at 171) and Steve Stahl (2008 at 189) in the pantheon of state wrestling champions from Memorial, Johnson has been extra focused.
That fact hasn't escaped the notice of head coach Jim Iannarelli.
"As he has gone through is career, it has always been about getting himself to a place where he can be proud of himself," said Iannarelli. "In a sport where you can be selfish at times, Tieshawn is selfless. He is always asking questions to perfect his technique. He always looks for ways outside of wrestling to become a better athlete."
Iannarelli knew Johnson as a seventh grader.
"He seemed quiet and timid even at that point in his life, but has led by example the right things to do with your life if you want something," says Iannarelli. "He has endured many struggles along his road to where he is right now, but has taken them all as a reason to put himself in a better place.
"I am exceptionally proud of the man he has become, and I only wish that he continues on this path. I know he will.
"Tieshawn never gives up," Iannarelli added. "He will continue to lead and inspire those around him in whatever aspects of his life he pursues. He's the kind of kid that makes my job as a coach one of the most rewarding things I do."
Corpe, who has been working out with Johnson and others in 6 a.m. sessions, has been impressed with the effort and the attitude.
"He works hard to improve," says Corpe. "He's very respectful, just a nice kid overall."
A middle linebacker and running back in football, Johnson does not just rely on his natural athleticism as a wrestler. He works on his technique. That includes the handfighting that helps him keep his opponent off-balance.
With Corpe's help, Johnson also works the mental game.
Corpe said the wrestlers who have the most success in the state tournament as the ones who can tame their nerves and continue to do the things that allow them to win.
Johnson wins over many people with his glowing smile.
"I'm always happy," says Johnson. "I just like to smile."
He says he gets that from his mother, Katrina Lewis. Tieshawn was born in Chicago to Katrina and Gregory Johnson and moved to Elkhart in 2003. He attended Roosevelt and Woodland elementary schools before West Side and Memorial. Tieshawn lives with his mother, stepfather Corey, and two litter sisters, K.C. and Kimora.
While he has not committed to a college, Johnson is planning to major in graphic arts.

Did any of the show goers on here get a chance to see or even listen to these little standmounters ?
They look like they might be real giant killers.

"Eat food, drink liquids, shite in a bog."
I have just bought Loosends pair of Q Acoustics 1010 which have just arrived here, and I can honestly say I am completely amazed at how good they are.
I know they have a good reputaion at the budget end , and from what i've read on here Gromits ( i think ) system with q acoustics in had excellent reviews at scalford.
The concept 20s have a rrp of £350 plus £200 for the matching stands . Be interesting to read a proper review on them . Hopefully on here!
"Eat food, drink liquids, shite in a bog."
I'm being sent a pair on Friday. I'm rather looking forward to them.
The saddest day of your life isn't when you decide to sell out. The saddest day of your life is when you decide to sell out and nobody wants to buy.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on them Ed.
From the pictures i've seen of them on the matching stands if they sound half as good as they look they should be crackers.
"Eat food, drink liquids, shite in a bog."
I love the little 2010i's - they do need a fair bit of running in (they sound slighty dim-witted, flabby and slow when fresh out of the box) and IME respond well to plenty of current from an amp with well-damped bass. I've had mine on the end of 4 different amps now, and each time the amp has got bigger, the little Q's have improved.
They look very interesting indeed, look forward to reading and hearing them!
I would also be interested to hear opinions on these.
Now that my Obelisks are gone, I am temporarily running my Q 2010i (taken from my home cinema setup) with my Krell FPB300 and the results are shockingly good! (It helps that the 2010i are on Target R2 stands).
I must post a pic: £9k power amp with £120 speakers
Hehe, I can see a Wigwam group power buy on Q Acoustics speakers!
I'm currently using some little Mordaunt Short MS10i (Pearl I think), I think they are terrific.

damn tempted to get some 2020i and a denon dm39 dab thingy and just be done with it!
As I'm so happy with the 2010i's, I've been toying with the idea of getting a pair of 2020i's to try but after a long listening sesh yesterday afternoon (with just me in the house so could crank things up hurrah!) the little ones just integrate so well in the room I'm loath to risk upsetting the balance.
Think it might be time to go cartridge/phonostage shopping instead.
Another dilemma is that the Krell will be departing soon (going back to its original owner) so am trying to figure out what will replace it and if the 'magic' will go with it. I've just hooked up my standby amp (a Marantz PM6010KI) and the sound has deflated somewhat Still tonally very nice, but the snap, least edge definition and involvement has reduced.
Despite their low price tag, these title 2010i are real divas! They don't get out of bed for cheap amplification!
Question is do I retain the Krell just to drive a pair of £120 Richer Sounds specials?
Peter Empson at Deco Audio (who sells the whole Q range) had been raving about them for some time and as usual he's come up trumps in recommending these.
I was also oggling these the other day. I like the dedicated stands. Nicely conceived and designed.
I\'m gonna eat your brains and gain your knowledge.
Tell me about it. The man has a great pair of ears.

The Cleveland Browns took it to the Philadelphia Eagles by knocking Michael Vick off of his rhythm and forcing him to throw four interceptions. However, a late fourth quarter drive by Vick was just enough to help the Eagles prevail 17-16.
What worked for the Browns: The defense had a good game. Without their effort, it wouldn't have been close. The defensive line in particular did a stellar job applying pressure on Vick and the back seven came up with several big plays including linebacker D'Qwell Jackson's 27-yard interception return for a touchdown. Sadly, this was the lone touchdown for the Browns.
What didn't work for the Browns: The offense showed its age at the skill positions. Quarterback Brandon Weeden didn't appear at all ready for the game, as he threw four interceptions, including one that quelled a comeback drive late in the game. His quarterback rating was 5.1. However, his receivers didn't do him any favors. There were too many drops including one that lead to an interception in the red zone. Furthermore, the offensive line failed to generate much push up front. If you take away Travis Benjamin's 35-yard scamper they only averaged two yards a rush.
By the numbers: The Eagles made the most of their opportunities in the red zone, as they scored on both attempts. Meanwhile, the Browns had two trips to the red zone that resulted in no points. Additionally, one cause as to why Cleveland's defense broke down late could be due to the Eagles running 88 offensive plays to the Browns' 59. While fatigue isn't an excuse, neither is leaving your defense out to dry.
What's next for the Browns: Cleveland has a crucial instate showdown with the Bengals on Sunday. Considering they have consecutive games with the New York Giants and the Baltimore Ravens looming, this is an important week for them to establish momentum before a tough stretch.

Southern Gardening : Verbenas give long-season color
Verbenas are great flowering plants that have been garden staples for many years. They will provide you with three seasons of color if you provide a few necessities for them.
There are more than 250 species of verbenas with many native to the New World. Breeders have been hard at work, and most new selections bear little resemblance to their forbears.
Verbena stems are four-sided and release a faint, spicy aroma when gently brushed. Flowers are displayed in terminal clusters and held above richly green, toothed foliage. The typical range of colors includes red, purple and white, with yellow, orange and peach available in newer varieties. Some selections have white or creamy eyes in the center.

The World's largest Ferris wheel is now open in Las Vegas. On April 1, Yahoo shared the news about the big Ferris wheel that gives you one of the best views on the strip. This is only one of many rides on the Vegas strip.
The Ferris wheel is 550-foot high and it is a 30 minute ride while you are on it. New York and Dubai both have Ferris wheel's planned out that will be bigger, but they are not complete. That makes this one the biggest in the world, but that won't last for long.
You are inside of a sphere pod when you go up on this Ferris wheel and not a normal small little seat with just a bar over your lap. It looks extremely safe and takes you up really high, but passengers said that they are not feeling any wind at all when on the ride.
It has 28 different enclosed pods and they can hold 40 people each. They do have air conditioning in them. Tickets are from $24.95 up to $59.95 depending on if you want front of the line or go during the day or night. You won't miss this Ferris wheel as you walk down the strip.

Donna P. Leake, Ph.D., has been a teacher since the age of seven when she "taught" her dad to read. She believes that teachers ultimately have the potential to improve the quality of lives for students of all ages. Since receiving her first teaching certificate Donna has provided over 30 years of service to public school students in Connecticut. She served as a teacher at the elementary, middle and high school levels. Believing that all children provided with high quality culturally responsive educational programming are able to learn, she widened her potential for impact through service as a public school administrator in rural, urban and suburban areas. Her administrative roles include: Curriculum Coordinator for the areas of Mathematics, Science and Technology, Elementary Principal, Assistant Superintendent and Superintendent. In these roles she is most proud of her work in designing K-12 curriculum programs for students correlated with professional development programs for teachers and administrators.
Through years of experience in providing professional development programs for staff, Donna recognized that providing good models of professional practice to teachers early in their careers leads to the greatest benefits, As a result she became an adjunct instructor over 10 years ago at the University of New Haven. More recently, she became the Coordinator of the Internship Program at UNH, which provides her with multiple opportunities to affect the professional career development of new professionals.
Donna attempts to model through her own actions the importance of continued personal growth by engaging in new and challenging learning experiences. Believing that to better understand the learning challenges children encounter, an educator should participate in learning experiences that are uniquely different from any prior learning experiences, she has been engaged in a study of the Arabic language. Driven by her desire to provide culturally responsive instruction for all students, Donna also participates in the educational outreach programs offered through Yale and NYU. She recently served as a co-Primary Investigator of a Fulbright Study Abroad project in Morocco that allowed her to combine and further pursue many of her beliefs and interests.
Donna was recently awarded a 2015 Teachers Educating Across Cultures in Harmony (TEACH) fellowship by the Bilateral US-Arab Chamber. She will be visiting classrooms and educators and meeting with business leaders in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Bahrain. TEACH was launched in 2009 as a vehicle to provide US educators an opportunity to visit the Middle East and gain insight into the culture, challenges, and opportunities experienced by their peers.

In an upcoming episode of VH1's "Behind the Music," former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger is opening up for the first time about her longtime struggle with bulimia. During the episode, which airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on VH1, the singer breaks down her battle with the eating disorder.
"I did it every day for, like, years," Scherzinger said. "Every time I had a second to be alone, I was doing something to myself. You get, like, blisters on your hands or scars on your hands, and I'd try to hide those. I think the girls could tell."
"I just hated myself," Scherzinger continued. "I hated myself. I really was so disgusted with myself and so embarrassed. I felt so alone. I was in a group, and I never felt so alone in my life."
She opens up about a particular photo shoot, her first with the group, which required her to wear nothing more than a bra, underwear and garters. She recalled, "I was not comfortable with my body." The episode also features some of her former PCD cohorts, including fellow former member Ashley Roberts and founder Robin Antin, who also remember watching the singer suffer during that time period.
Scherzinger endured the condition for eight years and is now opening up about it. "It's embarrassing. I never spoke about it. Like I said, I never want to play a victim, and I never wanted my family to hear about things from me because I think it would break their heart, you know. I guess it was like my addiction, right? I never did drugs, but kinda doing things to myself was my addiction," she says. "It's like when I got offstage, I was on this high, and I'd come back to my room and I'd be alone, so I would just do things. My bulimia was my addiction; hurting myself was my addiction."
Her admission comes at a very interesting time, as the debate over body image issues wages on. Last month, Black Eyed Peas' frontwoman Fergie shut down pregnancy rumors after speculation about her waistline.
"[People ask if I'm pregnant] every time I fluctuate a few pounds," she told Rachael Ray on her talk show. "Like right now, I'm a couple pounds up. Sometimes I go a couple pounds down and I wear the clothes that are more fitted, but people kind of look at me because they're expecting [that] it's that time. We do hope for children and that will be coming up, but it's not yet."
Demi Lovato has also been candid about her own struggles with eating disorders, even letting MTV cameras in during the special, "Stay Strong," which followed the singer/actress in her post-recovery life.
"I've just been working at it a day at a time and have been trying to continue to fight my hardest," she shared back in March. "And I've had my ups and downs, and I'm still trying, but overall, it's been a really great journey, and I'm thankful for everything that I've been through."
But, no one has been more vocal about her body image as of late than Lady Gaga, who has opened up about her issues with eating disorders after she received criticism for a perceived weight gain while on tour. By launching Body Revolution 2012 , she hoped to empower fans by posting vulnerable photos on LittleMonsters.com. Experts working with those suffering from eating disorders commended Gaga's efforts.
"It's really fantastic when people like Lady Gaga are in that really public position [and] are willing to say something about it and point out the harm that it does and talk about it from a perspective from how it influences everybody," Susie Roman, director of programs at the National Eating Disorders Association, told MTV News.
Gaga shared, "Be brave and celebrate with us your 'perceived flaws,' as society tells us. May we make our flaws famous, and thus redefine the heinous."

At the end of your tour, receive a souvenir photo or video (your choice) as a keepsake of your run! Below are two sample itineraries:
City Highlights:
Jog around the downtown streets and Los Austrias, the neighborhood that's often called Habsburg's Madrid in reference to the Habsburg dynasty's architectural legacy, and see a collection of exciting monuments. Highlights include Plaza Mayor – an elegant square lined with red-brick buildings – plus the Royal Palace of Madrid and Plaza de Cibeles, home to Madrid's famous fountain of the goddess Cibele.
Explore Casa de Campo, a large city park that was once a royal hunting ground, and jog around its large lake before retreating from the midday sun with a run through the forest.

The headers need four slots. The muffler has four.
3-28-08 It's just been reported to me the you can use a belt sander (hub down) and reduce the bell of the header to make header length adjustments. That helps.
I cut new slots less than 7/64ths deep and finished them with a needle burr to a 7/64ths depth. The exhaust spigots are about 5/8" long.
It's easier to start a grit-blade if you make a couple of rim divots. WD-40 won't wash away Sharpie® ink. Make the same marks inside the pipe as you do on the outside. A new Grit-Blade leaves a 0.060" kerf.
With a new Grit-Blade you can cut both slots at the same time.
Stop cutting early.
A pin burr rounds the bottom of the slot. Might help keep it from cracking. 7/64ths is plenty deep, using four slots.

SEMINOLE - It was three years ago today on April 20th, 2011 when Matthew David LaPorte passed away at the the young age of 40 while at his home in Seminole. In doing so, Matt joined an unfortunate list of talented Tampa Bay musicians who have been taken away, way too early in their lives.
Born in Clearwater on September 11th, 1970, Matt has played with more musicians, and had been in more bands then one could imagine. The reason for this is simple...Matt was a naturally gifted and talented guitarist and musician, and the epitome of what a true musician is. Nearly everyone who has ever worked in the Tampa Bay music scene within the past 20 years knew Matt to some degree or another. Outside of having been the guitarist for Jon Oliva's Pain (featuring Jon Oliva of Savatge) at the time of his death, Matt had played in many popular local and national bands including Circle II Circle, Big Brother, KingPin, Stormbringer, Drama (w/ John Zahner), Suckerpunch, The Enablers, The last Things, Big Deal!, Iron Horse (Featuring Ron Keel), and several others as well.
Matt has performed on all of the Jon Oliva's Pain albums from 2004's "Tage Mahal", to 2010's "Festival". Aside from JOP, Matt has also appeared on many other albums with several other bands as well. Matt's discography includes:
- 1998 "Change Of Venue" (solo album).
- 2003 "Watching In Silence" (Circle II Circle).
- 2004 "'Tage Mahal" (Jon Oliva's Pain).
- 2005 "The Middle Of Nowhere" (Circle II Circle).
- 2006 "Once More... With Feeling" (solo album).
- 2006 "Straight Jacket Memoirs" EP (Jon Oliva's Pain).
- 2006 "Maniacal Renderings" (Jon Oliva's Pain).
- 2007 "Spiritual Apocalypse" (Monstrosity).
- 2008 "Global Warning" (Jon Oliva's Pain).
- 2008 "Matt Laporte" (solo album).
- 2010 "Festival" (Jon Oliva's Pain) cd/dvd.
Matt was without a doubt an extremely talented guitarist and musician...But to those who knew him personally, Matt was more then just another talented musician...he was a true friend and loved one!
"Matt was a brilliant guitar player on all levels. He understood that instrument better than almost anyone. His knowledge of music in general was just amazing. His contributions to JOP and every band he ever played with was also without measure. He was truly a one-guitar army when he needed to be and his solo performances on all the JOP cd's will forever send chills down our spines. A near 20- year history and friendship with one of the true greats has now ended and we are deeply saddened. Matt was a fan of all kinds of music and instruments, having even embarked on a mission to conquer the hammered dulcimer...one of the hardest instruments to play. He was always trying to expand his musical horizons and influences. He marveled at the musical greats, both old and new. He was never one to rate his talents above others and often commented about the great new music and artists he had just discovered. Criss Oliva was without a doubt his most profound influence, and anyone who saw him play Savatage songs knew that Criss was channeling his talents via Matt. Matt's attention to detail and always striving to play everything perfect is without comparison. We would sit for hours during rehearsals with him muddling over whether a guitar chord was played exactly as recorded. Sometimes frustrating, but always appreciated in the end. He was the professionals' professional when it came to his guitar skills, and the loss of such a talent will be forever felt. Matt was a gentle soul, and would avoid conflict at all costs. He got along with everyone and greeted all with a smile on his face. There was a shyness and almost embarrassment felt by him from the adoration of his fans around the world...and he had many. He was humbled by the love and respect music fans gave to him, but in a quiet way, that made him work just a little bit harder. His had a hilarious, twisted and often sarcastic sense of humor that was unique to him. A very funny man indeed. We miss you terribly Matt, and we will celebrate your music and life each and every day. That great band in the sky just got a whole lot better, and you are in the most peaceful place you could have ever hoped for. Until we meet again..." - Jon Oliva of Savatage and Jon Oliva's Pain.
"I will always remember with great appreciation the privilege I had sharing the stage with Matt LaPorte....." - Tommy Roxx of Big Deal!.
"I will cherish the 20+ years of friendship and memories we had.....Our hearts are broken!" - Rebecca Field of Undercover Betty.
"Not many remember when Matt was playing with Krunch. He never did any shows with us but was part of finishing up several recordings that we were lacking a second lead part. At that time he was in the band "Drama". His guitar wizardry enabled him to lay down some incredible lead parts for our music. RIP Matt!!! You will be missed! This is as big a shocker as when Chris Oliva died. Sad day!" - Pete Gratta of Black Jack Bomber.
"Criss [Oliva] and Matt are pluging in and tuning up right now..." - Fan.
"You will be so missed Matt. I love you! Rock on in heaven sweetie. Wish I could have had one more bear hug." - Friend.
Following his passing, There was a memorial service for Matt LaPorte on April 30th, 2011 at the Moss Feaster Funeral Home in Largo. Hundreds of friends, fans, colleagues and family turned out for what was a beautiful memorial service. The huge turnout proved just how much both Matt and his music had touched so many lives.
On July 23rd, 2011, Ferg's Sports Bar & Grill in St. Petersburg hosted a memorial concert for Matt. "A Memorial Concert - Celebrating the Life and Music of Matt LaPorte" featured appearances and performances by Jerry Outlaw & Friends, the Florida Metal All Stars, the HubbTones, Jon Oliva, and members of Crimson Glory (including Todd LaTorre), Jon Oliva's Pain, Savatage, Trans Siberian Orchestra and other select musicians from Matt's circle of friends. At the event, artists performed Matt's original music that he wrote himself, as well as music that personally inspired him.
Matt will forever be missed, RIP Matt!

History of American Fashion
André Leon Talley in History of American Fashion
André Leon Talley (1948-present) is the editor-at-large of Vogue magazine, and one of the most internationally recognizable figures in the fashion industry. Talley was the magazine's creative director in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when he proclaimed that his mantra was "opulence, opulence, opulence."8 At six-foot seven-inches, Talley—who is African-American—usually makes a grand and flamboyant entrance to couture fashion shows, where he has appeared in enormous fur and crocodile-skin coats, among other items. He is a proponent of "the well-groomed looks of the fifties and sixties" for African Americans, since he considers such classical style to be timeless.9 Talley has also noted that the comparatively small number of black models on Vogue covers "reflects the culture that we live in. Black people are still a minority. These numbers reflect the way of the world. Society just isn't ready for it on a frequent basis."10
Talley was born in Washington, D.C. and later raised by his grandmother in North Carolina following the divorce of his parents. His grandmother—who cleaned the men's dormitories at Duke University for a living—bought him the best clothes for church. After services Talley would walk to the white section of town in order to buy the New York Times so that he could gaze at its fashion sketches by the dynamic designer Antonio Lopez. Talley wrote his master's thesis on Baudelaire at Brown University, but he has claimed fashion as his first love since he was a teenager.

Head Coach Jeanne Sutherland believes her team can perform better tomorrow and contend for the Chip N Club Invite title.
Day One Team Results | Individual
LINCOLN, Neb. (SMU) - Just three strokes off the lead, SMU is sitting in second place after the first day of play at the Chip N Club Invite in Lincoln, Neb.
Freshman Alexandra Rossi, who led after the first round, is currently tied for fourth at a 7-over, 181 (70-81).
"I think she already knows she's a good player," Head Coach Jeanne Sutherland said. "The first round showed what she was capable of. The second showed the importance of mental toughness and conditioning."
Sutherland stressed that this season-opening tournament is about discovering where the team currently sits, and how they can improve. But also, as defending champions of the event, the team is pleased that they are within striking distance of the top spot. Especially after feeling they can play better on day two.
"We're going to go out and work on our goals," Sutherland said. "At this point, we just need to get better.
"We were worried about executing shots rather than getting the ball in the hole."
SMU's other golfer in the top-10 is freshman Swede Jenny Haglund. She sits tied for sixth after an 8-over 152 (75-77).
Missouri is currently the team leader. Amy Anderson of North Dakota State leads individually by three strokes after a 3-over 147 (74-73) after day one.
Play will continue tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. CT. Fans can follow live on GolfStat.com or by via the team's Facebook and Twitter pages.

Finally, Wrestling News World.com has pictures posted from Daniel Bryan's and Brie Bella's wedding, which took place this past Friday. You can check them out by clicking here.
New WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan was married this past weekend to WWE Diva Brie Bella. The wedding will air in part on this season's Total Divas show.
WWE returns to the Motor City this June with a live event at the Joe Louis Arena. The company is advertising Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, Randy Orton and The Shield.
WWE is eliminating the term pay per view and using special events as the term now as the WWE Network is in full swing. The first event to fall under the banner is Extreme Rules.
The 2014 WWE Extreme Rules event takes place Sunday may 4 from East Rutherford, New Jersey. John Cena is slated to take on Bray Wyatt in a Wrestle Mania 30 re-match.
It will be interesting to see what other special events we will see Triple H actually wrestler at. One would think Extreme Rules and Summer Slam would be two viable options.

In economic circles the acronym BRIC refers to Brazil, Russia, India, and China, four nations which are at a similar stage of advanced economic development and are poised to assume an unassailable position of global dominance in the coming years. BRIC countries are a juggernaut in other words. One quarter of this big four, Brazil, in recent years has started coming into its own economically, but for decades has boasted a cultural cachet of beauty, music, and sport. The former, beauty, is thoroughly evidenced in the two volume, fourth issue of Made in Brazil Magazine featuring Evandro Soldati, Fabrício Bach, Francisco Lachowski, and Rafael Lazzini, all of Ford Men. The magazine as ever ever all but dispenses with superfluities of graphic embellishment and presents full-bleed images with minimal text on richly printed oversize paper stock. There is an endearing forward, typed with handwritten edits, by Bruce Weber in which he expresses his admiration for the work of Made in Brazil editor Juliano Corbetta and photographer Stewart Shining. "Thanks Stewart, Juliano & MADE IN BRAZIL for bringing Rio [de Janeiro] back home to all of us in the States, and your magazine makes our hearts beat faster than any Samba during carnival." Could not agree more with Weber's sentiment, which only serves to underscore the looming stature of the first nation in the BRIC country acronym, not to mention the irresistible allure of Evandro, Fabrício, Francisco, and Rafael.

I am trying to install SLES11 on a computer with a
X9SCL/X9SCM SuperMicro motherboard. The BIOS version is
1.1a (9/28/2011).
The SATA controller configuration gives me the following choices:
- RAID (Intel or LSI)
- Disabled
I have tried both AHCI and IDE and with both of them, when the SLES11 installer comes up, it says it sees a "BIOS RAID" disk that it wants to install onto. If I go to the Export screen in the installer, under "Hard Drives" it shows me
/dev/sda, and
/dev/sdb but says the latter two are in use.
Surely the BIOS RAID isn't non-disableable? Perhaps there's old BIOS RAID metadata on the drives and the kernel is seeing it and being confused by it?

Hot photos of WNBA basketball star Kayla McBride in 2014
Kayla McBride was born on June 25, 1992, in Erie, Pennsylvania. On the advice of her father, Kayla McBride would play against the boys when she was growing up in Erie, and that included on school teams as well as in playground games.
Playing against the boys helped make Kayla McBride a great player. In high school at Villa Marie Academy in Erie, Kayla led her team to a combined 106-15 (.876) record and two state Class AA Pennsylvania titles.
After high school, Kayla McBride went to Notre Dame, where she also excelled in basketball. At Notre Dame, Kayla averaged 14.1 points per game over four seasons, and averaged 17.9 points as a senior.
During the four years Kayla McBride played for Notre Dame, the team's overall record was 138-15 (.902), including going 37-1 in Kayla's senior year. Notre Dame made the Final Four every year of Kayla's career, and made the national championship game three times.
After her stellar career at Notre Dame, Kayla McBride was taken with the third overall pick in the 2014 WNBA Draft by the San Antonio Stars. So far in her rookie season in the WNBA, Kayla McBride is averaging 12.8 points per game.
In just her fifth game in the WNBA on May 28, 2014, Kayla McBride poured in a career high 30 points, including making the winning three-point basket late in the fourth quarter in a 82-79 win over the Tulsa Shock.
In that game, Kayla McBride was taking on former Notre Dame teammate Skylar Diggins, who plays for Tulsa. You can read about Skylar at Hot photos of WNBA basketball star Skylar Diggins in 2014.
The future looks pretty bright for Kayla McBride in the WNBA, as it looks like she is poised to become a star player. Hope you enjoy the hot photos of Kayla in the slideshow and watch for her at Stars games this season.

|Over the past quarter century, 2- and 4-year college enrollment in first semester calculus has remained constant while high school enrollment in calculus has grown tenfold, from 60,000 to 600,000, and continues to grow at 6% per year. We have passed the cross-over point where each year more students study first semester calculus in US high schools than in all 2- and 4-year colleges and universities in the United States. In theory, this should be an engine for directing more students toward careers in science, engineering, and mathematics. In fact, it is having the opposite effect. This talk will present what is known about the effects of this growth and what needs to happen in response within our high schools and universities.

The first steps in changing Atlantis from a spaceship to an airplane are to test its aero surfaces, required as the orbiter begins to interact with the upper atmosphere on reentry and landing. Also tested today are the thruster jets on the nose and tail of Atlantis which maneuver the vehicle prior to dropping below 400,000 feet in altitude following the deorbit burn.
Atlantis' computers systematically deactivate these jets when desired air pressure readings are detected at various stages throughout entry and landing.
The crew of Commander Jeff Ashby, Pilot Pam Melroy and Mission Specialists Dave Wolf, Sandy Magnus, Piers Sellers and Cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin spend the day stowing equipment, supplies and belongings in preparation for tomorrow's anticipated return to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
At 11:46 this morning, the crew will discuss the success of the mission with media representatives from the AP Radio Network, KMOX Radio of St. Louis and WISH-TV of Indianapolis. The interview will air on NASA Television.
Behind the shuttle at a distance of 120 miles (193 kilometers), the ISS Expedition Five crew of Commander Valery Korzun, NASA ISS Science Officer Peggy Whitson and Cosmonaut Sergei Treschev are preparing for their next visitors, a Soyuz taxi crew scheduled to arrive late this month. The taxi crew will return to Earth in the Soyuz at the station, which is nearing its certified on orbit life limit.
The shuttle crew began its last full day on orbit with a wakeup call from Mission Control at 2:18 a.m. The song "These are the Days" performed by Natalie Merchant was played for Sellers at the request of his wife.
Atlantis' crew sleep begins at about 6:30 this evening and the crew will be awakened at 2:16 a.m. Friday to begin landing preparations.

I am totally stumped on what to do about this, and I don't have a source of income so I can't hire an attorney. I do have a car, but I cannot get insurance or drive it without a license and I desperately need to be able to drive in order to find a decent job. I've contacted various "Free Legal Aid" places on the web, but none of them will give me the time of day because to them "traffic tickets" are too petty to deal with. I don't have access, nor the knowledge, to look this matter up and see if there is a law or procedure that says unpaid tickets are purged after 7 years of inactivity. If I could just find it in writing, then I could file some kind of motion with the courts to force them to follow said law/rule and purge my tickets.
Please help me in any way you can, or refer me to someone whom you think may be able to.

Game of the Day: SAFC 2 Charlton 1
by Stuart Vose
One of Roker Park's greatest days takes centre stage.
18th April 1964
Sunderland won promotion to Division One by securing a vital victory over Charlton Athletic at Roker Park.
Alan Brown led his side into the game looking to make it third time lucky after the Wearsiders narrowly missed out on promotion at the end of each of the previous two campaigns.
More than 50,000 fans packed Roker Park to roar their team on and efforts were redoubled after Charlton took an early lead through Eddie Firmani.
Visiting keeper Peter Wakeham shone as the hosts turned up the heat, but he was eventually beaten just before half time when Martin Harvey fed George Herd, whose shot struck a defender and looped into the net.
Sunderland continued to push and the day was on a knife edge until Johnny Crossan scored in the dying moments to seal the club's place in the top flight.
Brown's side went on to record a 2-2 draw at Grimsby the following week, rounding off a marvellous campaign which never saw them out of the top two from the beginning of November onwards.
Indeed, they lost only three times during than span and won six of their final eight games, drawing the other two.
Sunderland eventually finished the 1963-64 campaign in second place with 61 points, two behind champions Leeds United.
Sunderland: Montgomery, Irwin, Ashurst, Harvey, Hurley, McNab, Usher, Herd, Sharkey, Crossan, Mulhall.

The Bruin defense ranked first in the Pac-10 in total defense in Phil Snow's first season at UCLA in 2001. The unit also finished the season ranked second in the league in rushing defense and scoring defense. In addition, linebacker Robert Thomas, a first round selection by the Rams in the 2002 NFL draft, earned 2001 Pac-10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors. Kenyon Coleman was the defensive winner of the Morris Trophy as the Pac-10's best lineman.
The veteran coach was hired as Bruin defensive coordinator in January of 2001. Snow, who also tutors the Bruin safeties, spent the previous seven seasons as the defensive coordinator at Arizona State University. Overall, he has coached the past 15 seasons in the Pac-10 conference.
Snow spent nine seasons at Arizona State on the staff of Bruce Snyder. Prior to that, he also served on Snyder's staff while at the University of California from 1987-91. During his tenure at Arizona State, Snow's defenses posted five shutouts and held opponents to 10 points or less in 22 games. His defensive units ranked among the top three in scoring defense in the Pac-10 in three of his last five seasons at ASU. In 2000, the Sun Devils ranked first in the nation in fumbles recovered and third in the country in number of turnovers created. The group was headlined by Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year Adam Archuleta and conference Freshman of the Year Terrell Suggs.
In 1999, Snow's defense finished third in the Pac-10 in scoring defense and featured NFL draft picks Erik Flowers and Junior Ioane on a team which played in the Aloha Bowl. His 1997 group ranked third in the Pac-10, but was first in scoring defense (18.5 ppg). The unit was led by Morris Trophy winner Jeremy Staat and Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year Pat Tillman. ASU played in the Sun Bowl and finished the season ranked 14th in both polls.
Snow's 1996 ASU squad played in the '97 Rose Bowl game and finished first in the conference in rush defense (98.0), pass defense (104.2) and total defense (306.2). It held Nebraska scoreless in one game and limited the opposition to under 10 points in five games total that season. The team finished the season ranked fourth in the nation in both polls.
Snow coached former Sun Devil defensive standouts such as Craig Newsome, Lenny McGill, Kevin Miniefield and Jason Simmons who each went on to the NFL.
At California, Snow tutored the secondary in each of his five seasons in Berkeley, improving the unit each year. His philosophy of man-to-man coverage was a key ingredient in the Golden Bear defensive success. The 1990 and 1991 teams won the first back-to-back bowl games (Copper and Citrus) in school history. The 1991 team moved up as high as sixth in the weekly national rankings and played in the school's first New Year's Day bowl game in 33 years.
From 1982-86, the Winters, CA native, served on the staff at Boise State for head coaches Lyle Setencich and Jim Criner. Snow was the defensive coordinator for the Broncos in his last four seasons. His 1986 squad was ranked sixth in the nation in total defense, allowing just 269.4 yards per game and recorded two shutouts. It also yielded just 80.3 yards on the ground to rank fourth in the nation in that category. In his final three seasons at Boise State, Snow served as assistant to the head coach in addition to his duties as defensive coordinator.
Before arriving at Boise State, Snow spent three years at Laney College in Oakland, CA, where he was the secondary coach in 1979 and the co-defensive coordinator in 1980 and 1981.
Snow attended Sacramento City College (1974-75) and Cal State Hayward (1977-78). He began his coaching career at the high school level with positions at Berkeley High in 1976 and Winters High in 1977-78.

Throughout the park there are many places to get your complimentary cookies and hot cocoa.
One of the best character shows is twas the night before christmas which stars mickey and minnie mouse and a host of other characters which is staged at the galaxy palace theater. I love minnie mouse singing " santa baby" and also the rockin reindeers playing the guitars.
There are plenty of places to eat throughout mk but when you plan your trip book a restaurant early for mvmcp because they book up quickly on those nights. I like crystal palace because tigger is there but liberty tree tavern is good too.
I highly recommend mvmcp and it is a night you will never forget. :):)
You have to go, you will love it. We had dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern. Food was great and the character interaction is the best in my mind. I think it runs from the middle of November.
ive had a dvd of it send by a member and it looks awesome
Maybe we had bad nights but we have done both MNSSHP and MVMCP and we didn't like either at all. WE are not that hard to please but we just thought, what an absoloute rip off. The best thing about MNSSHP was getting the kids dressed up before hand and watching everyone else in their fab costumes.
