Selena Gomez is an ardent Brian Atwood fan – we've seen her don a wild mix of his sandals to a wide variety of red carpet and late night appearances in the last few months. Here she is again, wearing the strappy, Italian leather Brian Atwood Isabeli Sandals to a pre-taping of the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular at Liberty State Park in New Jersey. We spotted Rihanna in the black version of these at a basketball game just a couple months ago. The Isabelis are currently on sale at Brian Atwood for $969, down from $1,385.
Apparently Selena has a number one single with "Come and Get It" this week, so major kudos to her! I can hardly keep up with all the acting/singing/dancing starlets in Hollywood these days. Of course, if someone's a Disney veteran, it's always safe to assume they do it all. (It's also fairly safe to assume that a fairly public meltdown is just a few years down the line. Be good, Selena.)

A large but very sparsely populated country of West Africa, Mauritania occupies the western part of the Sahara desert with a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean and land borders with Western Sahara (former Spanish Sahara) on the northwest, Algeria on the northeast, Mali on the east and south, and Senegal on the southwest.
Situated between 15° and 27°N it has a very hot, dry climate for most of the year. The southern half of the country has some unreliable and sparse rainfall between June and October, when southwesterly winds (the West African monsoon) bring moisture-laden air from the South Atlantic.
At this time of year there is more cloud and the air is rather humid. During the rest of the year the prevailing winds are from the northeast, bringing very dry and sometimes dusty, hazy air from the northern Sahara. This is the harmattan of West Africa, which has a very low humidity.
The north of the country is virtually rainless but occasional downpours can occur at any season. As the table for Nouakchott shows, there is some rain between July and October; this table is representative of the Atlantic coast of Mauritania.
In the extreme south of the country annual rainfall averages between 300 mm/12 in and 375 mm/15 in but is very variable from year to year. This is insufficient for cultivation as it comes at the hottest time of the year.
Sunshine amounts are high throughout the year, averaging from eight to ten hours a day. They are least in midwinter when the days are shorter, but are also reduced in midsummer since this is the season when there is more cloud in the humid southwesterly winds.
For much of the year the climate is too hot and dry by day to be pleasant. The slightly cooler conditions on the coast are a result of daily sea breezes, but this is partly offset by the higher humidity.

Jim Garrow's childish hatred of Barack Obama is so great that even accusing him of trying to exterminate the entire U.S. population with nuclear bombs (and conspiring with extraterrestrials) is not enough to satisfy him.
In addition to this, Garrow has invested himself in trying to convince people that Obama is a gay pedophile.
Garrow is so much invested in peddling this conspiracy theory that, in an interview on the Hagmann & Hagmann Report, he suggested that Obama's two daughters, Sasha and Malia, should be submitted to DNA tests to prove he actually is their father, which Garrow claims he cannot be since he prefers to have sex with "his boys."
Garrow claimed that "Bathhouse Barry" has an "agreement" with "Moochelle" to "feed" his "sexual proclivity."
Garrow has made this accusation before, and still has yet to provide anything that even remotely resembles substantiation.
In typical Jim Garrow bat-crap crazy fashion, he also found the time during the interview to claim that wealthy Arabs paid for Obama's college education, as part of some kind of sinister plot to turn black students into "commie-influenced people who would serve the best interests of these Arab states" with ties to China's People Liberation Army, which he claims to have been informed of by Obama's half-brother Mark Obama Ndesandjo.

There were over 100 pairs in the UK I saw a couple of French guys that failed to cop in London but a US sneaker head mom was in the front line and she bought them for her son back home. I have a size US14
How much u want fa them
March 16, 2012 BY John Kim / 15
After the mass chaos that fell on the night of the release of the Galaxy Foamposites, the select Euro retailers decided to pull back their own releases to relaunch it in a manner that would avoid any sort of hysteria that was witnessed on the early morning hours of February 24th. Many Euro retailers broadcasted their releases with online raffles and such, giving an equal chance to anyone who chose to submit to the lottery. Some stores will release them in-store, so if you are near one of the confirmed Euro retailers like afew, try your luck on the in-store release, or guarantee yourself a pair by snagging one of the available pairs from foamkicks on eBay.

Yo. Just kick back on your couch at home, click yo mouse a couple times, and purchase these on Ebay... let some sucker do all the leg work. Easy. Unless there are more resellers than there are people with jobs that can afford to buy them. I didnt camp out for hours/days on the street like a bum, didnt get stabbed, didnt lose sleep... just bought a pair on Ebay from someone who did. Easy. Then i went back to work, coz i have a life. Your over thinking it. Simplify.
No Nike shoe is worth 1000 even if you do have the money to buy it. Would be much wiser to buy actual designer shoes like gucci or loius etc imo
LOL what do you think gucci shoes are worth a grand?SMH The reality is they all cost 6 bucks to make.
being in the gucci game for over 10 years I can personally tell you that the leather quality is wayyy better than your thinking so its a lot closer to msrp than that lol..and no gucci shoe is 1000 unless you get into reptiles 795 is max..and well worth it..had my asbury parks for 2seasons and are still crispy as the day I baught em
I'm just wondering where are those greedy Yankee resellers? Camping out in the UK streets? hahahaha!!!! + plane fares + stupidity..how much is their resell value? SMH

BlackBerry 9500 Thunder photo leaked
What's sweeter than knowing that your most-awaited phone is "coming soon"? Why, seeing it available for pre-order, or course! While nothing new about RIM's rumored to be upcoming BlackBerry 9500 "Thunder" touchscreen phone is revealed to us by Horizon Wireless, the retailer from which this device is now available for pre-order, at least it has shown us a photo.
Now this, might not be the best shot of the BlackBerry 9500 Thunder, but for the multitude of CrackBerry addicts out there who are waiting for its release, this will most certainly do. The existence of this photo only proves to that there will indeed be a touchscreen BlackBerry – an iPhone killer, if you will, from RIM – in the future.
The BlackBerry 9500 Thunder, according to earlier rumors, will be RIM's first full touchscreen phone, and the Horizon Wireless pre-order page tells us so. It is also referred to as 3G ready "and more…" Horizon Wireless has "0 Units in Stock" of the BlackBerry 9500 Thunder right now but it's still available for pre-order from their web site. Expect more details and specs to come out soon.

Cooking Class - Versatile Curries
Wednesday, September 29, 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m., Instructional Kitchen. After last spring's popular Indian Vegetarian class, many requests came in for more Indian dishes, especially curries. Join us as we create four curries with different personalities. We lead off with Curried Parsnip Soup with Apple and Almonds. This velvety soup gets its texture with a little help from the immersion blender. Curried Couscous makes a delicious bed for the turkey and fruit in Curried Turkey Salad. How about some Curried Sweet Potato Latkes (potato pancakes) on the side? Can you smell the curry powder, cumin, and brown sugar as the latkes turn golden brown? Finally, in Green Curry Chicken, Thai cuisine is prominent. We will make a green curry paste, use coconut milk, lemongrass, ginger, and more to infuse complex layers of flavor into the chicken. Cost (including demonstration, recipes, and food tasting): student and non-student members - $20, non-members - $25.

Jumpstart Your Routine
Does your exercise routine need a swift kick in the gluteus maximus? It's easy to get bored with the same old exercises every day.
This semester we will focus on a series of basic exercises. In particular, we will emphasize form, as well as the importance of each exercise. This issue's basic is the bicep curl:
Click here to see a video of this exercise in motion!
This exercise improves the strength of the bicep muscles
Step 1: Stand on both legs with your feet pointing straight ahead and your knees slightly bent. Maintain good posture with your shoulders back, chest up, and core engaged. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended at the side of your body.
Step 2: Slowly bend your elbows until the weights are at chest height. Be sure to maintain good posture and keep your elbows close to your sides.
Step 3: Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the side of your body.
Avoid arching your lower back or swinging the dumbbells. If you find yourself doing either, decrease the amount of weight.
Q: I have just completed my first round of tests and I am starting to feel stressed. Do you have any suggestions on how to better manage this stress?
A: Sleep: Try to get the nightly sleep you require to feel right and rested the following day, and avoid having to drag yourself from class to class. Not only is it more difficult to deal with stress when fatigued, but according to research findings, sleep-deprivation also weakens immune system functioning. Sleeping the same number of hours each night, during the same time-block, can give you a more reliable energy supply.
Exercise: Engaging in aerobic activities helps strengthen your body and allows it to be more resilient when it faces many of the psychological and physiological responses to stress. Aerobic action spends stress hormones, strengthens organs targeted by stress, improves sleep, and increases energy, just to name a few benefits. Additionally, studies have shown that students perform better academically after an exercise bout.
Eat: A healthy, balanced eating plan is another key ingredient in stress management. Eating patterns also need to be taken into consideration: heavy, meat-laden lunches make for lethargic afternoons, while caffeine, alcohol, and other drugs can put your energy cycle on a roller coaster ride.
Manage time: Time management is really about self-management and priorities. For starters, you might try making a priority list and a to-do list, and having a backup plan in case unforeseen interruptions occur. It is important to know what you must accomplish every day, week, or month. What other activities are fun or important to you? How would you ideally like to balance work, life, and personal and social activities? When will you take care of needs such as eating, sleeping, exercising, and relaxing? Making a list, or mapping your time on a calendar, can help you understand what is important to you and how you can work activities into your schedule.

Did You Know?
Interested in science-based fitness facts? Our resident exercise physiologist and associate director of fitness, will share fitness and nutrition information that is fact, not fiction.
We tend to stereotype the benefits of exercise on the brain for the older population. However, a new study found that improved fitness also has "brain benefits" for children too. In a new study, 9-10 year old children that performed better on a cardiovascular treadmill test had a larger hippocampus than their less-fit peers. The hippocampus is the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory. In addition to larger hippocampus tissue mass, the fit children performed better on various memory tests. These findings implicate that physical activity has an important effect on brain development which may eventually affect learning and academic performance.
In the News
Has life just been too busy to read the Health and Fitness section of your newspaper? Let us provide you with a few highlights of what's made the news lately.
Guilt-Free Eating: 5 Nutrition Myths Debunked
Some nutrition myths bounce around on crazy e-mail chain letters and pop up on goofy evening news reports. Others fuel the sale of rip-off diet books. Some are so accepted they seem hard wired into our brains. Take deep-fried foods, for example. They're universally bad for you, right? Well, no. When we challenged ourselves to explore whether fried foods could be made healthy, we discovered that, when done properly, fried foods don't have to be forever banished from a healthy diet. The exercise inspired us to take on some other ingrained nutrition misconceptions. We talked with leading nutrition researchers, chefs, and food scientists and did some sleuthing of our own to debunk 10 myths so you can enjoy many once-forbidden foods without that old familiar twinge of guilt.
Myth 1. Added sugar is always bad for you.
Truth: Use the sweet stuff to ensure that sugar calories are far from "empty" calories.
Sugar is essential in the kitchen. Consider all that it does for baking, creating a tender cake crumb and ensuring crisp cookies. Then there's its role in creating airy meringue or soft-textured ice cream. Keep in mind that other sweeteners like "natural" honey are basically refined sugar anyway and they are all metabolized by your body the same way, as 4 calories per gram. Sugar also balances the flavors in healthy foods that might not taste so great on their own. Don't go overboard, of course. Most health experts suggest that added sugar supply no more than 10 percent of your total calories - about 200 in a 2,000-calorie diet.
Good news: A little sugar can go a long way.
Adding a wee bit of sugar to balance a too-tart tomato sauce is a good thing; so is a teaspoon of honey on a tart grapefruit half or in plain yogurt. "Add a little bit of sugar to help boost your intake of nutrient-rich foods by making them tastier," says Jackie Newgent, author of the All-Natural Diabetes Cookbook.
Myth 2: The only heart-friendly alcohol is red wine.
Truth: Beer, wine, and liquors all confer the same health benefits.
The so-called French Paradox elevated red wine to health-food status when researchers thought it was the antioxidants in the drink that protected the foie gras- and cheese-loving French from heart disease. More recent research, however, has shown that antioxidants aren't the answer after all. Alcohol, the ethanol itself, raises levels of protective HDL, or good cholesterol, which help protect against plaque buildup in the arteries and reduce clotting factors that contribute to heart attack and stroke, according to Eric Rimm, associate professor of nutrition at the School of Public Health at Harvard University. Any kind of beverage that contains alcohol, when consumed in moderation (and that means one to two drinks a day), helps reduce heart disease risk.
Myth 3: Fried foods are always too fatty.
Truth: Healthy deep-fried food is not an oxymoron.
Here's how frying works: When food is exposed to hot oil, the moisture inside boils and pushes to the surface and then out into the oil. As moisture leaves, it creates a barrier, minimizing oil absorption when the frying is done right. Meanwhile, the little oil that does penetrate the food's surface forms a crisp, tasty crust. To keep foods from soaking up oil, fry according to recipe instructions. For most foods, 375°F is optimal. Oil temperatures that are too low will increase fat absorption. When we added tempura-coated vegetables to cooler-than-optimal oil, the result was greasy and inedible - they absorbed more than 1 cup of oil instead of 1/3 cup. So, watch the oil temperature like a hawk using a candy/fry thermometer, and drain cooked foods on a paper towel for a minute or two before diving in.
Good news: You can have fried catfish and hush puppies, too.
Keep in mind that we're not giving fast-food fried chicken dinners with French fries a passing grade. Such a meal contains an entire day's worth of calories and sodium, thanks to large portion sizes, excessive breading, and globs of sauces.
Myth 4: Adding salt to the pot adds sodium to the food.
Truth: Salt added to boiling water may actually make vegetables more nutritious.
Public health messages encouraging us to shake our salt-in-everything habits are, in general, good; sodium is a potential problem even for non-hypertensive people. But it's easy to overlook how sodium can actually help in recipes. "Salt in the cooking water reduces the leaching of nutrients from vegetables into the water," says Harold McGee, author of On Food & Cooking. That means your blanched broccoli, green beans, or asparagus likely retains more nutrients. "It also speeds up the cooking process so you don't lose as many nutrients from overcooking." McGee recommends using about 1 teaspoon of salt per cup of water. The amount of sodium absorbed by the food is minuscule.
Myth 5: The more fiber you eat, the better.
Truth: Not all fibers are equally beneficial. Consider the source.
Yogurt doesn't naturally come with fiber, yet the grocery aisles now boast fiber-supplemented yogurt, along with cereals, energy bars, even water. What's the deal? Fiber is a fad-food component right now, and manufacturers are isolating specific types of fiber and adding them to packaged foods to take advantage. But the science isn't entirely clear yet: Just as we're learning more about different types of fat, research is showing how complex fiber is as well. We now know that different fibers have different functions (wheat bran helps move foods along; oat bran lowers cholesterol; inulin supports healthy gut bacteria). Some experts are skeptical that the so-called faux-fiber foods offer the same beneficial effect as naturally fiber-rich ones like whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and legumes.
Good news: Fiber-rich whole foods satisfy hunger.
While it's true that only half of us eat the fiber we need for good health, eating processed foods with added fiber doesn't get us off the hook. Fact is, most processed foods lack a bevy of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Eating fiber-rich whole foods is the best way to gain this essential component of your diet.

Shaking Nerves...and Good Times
Wednesday, March 02, 2011
I'm sure you might have seen from my updated status that my husband is up for a job that is perfect for him. He was laid off 2 years ago, so this could mean more to us than anything right now. My nerves are frazzled waiting for his 10:30am interview and the wait after that to see if he gets hired. We are having a 39th Birthday Party for him Saturday, so it would be nice to be able to celebrate a new job too. Fingers, toes and eyes are crossed over here.
It's been a crazy week. I've had a few meetings with my daughter's Kindergarten teacher. She is having a bit of trouble. Scholastically she is close to the top of the class. Emotionally, she is not on par with the other kids. She is having trouble controlling her emotions and "impulses". This has left me beating myself up trying to figure out how I have failed as a mother. Of course, I know I can't do that to myself, but if you are a mother, I'm sure you understand how I feel. We have an appointment with her pediatrician on Tuesday for her annual physical and to discuss some of the issues going on. I am not going to let my daughter be labelled and, at this time, if drugs are suggested, I am not ready to go that way. ugh...nerves...stomach is in knots.
I am starting her in gymnastics this evening. I am hoping the structure and fun of it helps. Not to mention, I am so looking forward to it! I did gymnastics for years as a kid. Good Times.
So where does this leave me? Well, I kicked a$$ on the treadmill yesterday...cranking it up to 7.0- which I had never done before! What a fantastic stress reliever!! WooHoo! It feels good to be proud of myself. I DESERVE that.
Oh- and a side note...my boss and co-worker were at the gym while I was there and apparently they did not recognize me from behind while I was on the treadmill. Considering I work for a company of 23 employees (with only 3 women) I am taking this as a gigantic compliment!
Well, SparkFriends- here's to a great Wednesday! Keep the positive vibes and prayers coming. This job would be a new start for my family. (and keep my husband's cabin fever at bay so he doesn't turn into to Jack from "The Shining") HAHAHA!

I know I am a little late on this one but I truly hope everything worked out well for your husband.
Regarding your daughter...you guys should be here. Kids are raised VERY differently than in the US. They are allowed to completely be free and even encouraged to let their emotions rule. No one would ever expect a 5 or 6 year old to control their emotions or impulses. They don't even have kindergarten...structured school begins at first grade. Up until a short while ago first grade even started a year later than it does now so kids were starting at age 7. Kids are just expected to be kids. They have a formal philosophy that children learn by playing. It sounds like you choosing to engage your daughter in more playing via gymnastics is right on the money! Never ever beat yourself up about your mothering. You are a wonderful mother and honestly your girl is so young! I am kind of annoyed that they are even evaluating her like that.
At first, coming from an American stand point I was annoyed with the kids here...they are kind of unruly and parents just stand by and watch. But then as I think about it...why should we be be pushing our kids to behave by a certain set of adult standards so soon. There is still soooo much development going on. when they are babies we accept that different aspects of them develop at different rates. Why do we think that magically in kindergarten...an arbitrary time...they should suddenly behave in a certain way? This is a whole nation of perfectly good people who succeed in life just fine even if they are allowed to act on their emotional impulses as children!
Your daughter sounds bright, creative and engaging to me. I am so glad to will fight against having her labeled. Nothing good comes of labels. Good for you!

Best wishes for your hubby - I hope he gets the job!
As to your daughter - I agree with POOKIE. Bright kids often have a harder time fitting in at school. They see things differently from their peers and they pester the teacher for more information. Why does school expect our kids to be perfect in ALL areas? Some kids are good at sports, some at academics, some at social activities... few people are strong across the board evenly.
One of the ways you can help your daughter is to explain other people's actions to her in a way that appeals to her rational side. She's too young to understand intuitively that other people think differently, so their behaviour likely baffles her. Using an extreme example here... think Sheldon from Big Bang Theory & how they explain "social contracts" to him.
Great job getting up to 7.0 on the tredmill! Amazing! You go girl!

Here's hoping for him!
As for your daughter, I work with kids and often those who are brighter DO have these social and behavorial issues... why? I find its because they are bored and unstimulated by classroom activities that are too easy, or classmates who are too dull and "behind" that childs imagination and abilities.
Setting her something athletic to challenge her body, coupled with it being a structured art may be just what she needs... an outlet for both things she is struggling with.

I thought it would be fun to adopt Kelly for this month's Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger, hosted by Sea from the Book of Yum. I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to try out some of Kelly's other recipes (we've made her cashew cream cheese many times) from her amazing blog The Spunky Coconut.
Kelly's a published cookbook author, regular blogger, an artist, and most importantly a dedicated Mom! Everything she does is for her cute little girls. Kelly is very open and honest about her life; it's easy to feel like you know her even if you've never met her!
Kelly dreams of owning a gluten-free bed and breakfast one day, and I'm quite sure her dream will come true. Can you imagine? My family and I would DEFINITELY be there. I think Kelly would be a fantastic host and I know my family would eat better than ever!
So what did I make?
I first tried Kelly's cashew sour cream or cream cheese recipe months ago. It was my first nut-soaking experience, I didn't even know it was possible to replace cheese with nut cheese!
We've used Kelly's recipe MANY times since then. We like to make it when we have bean burritos and when I make sweet potatoes.
I've also adapted Kelly's cashew cream cheese recipe to make a sweet cashew cream for baking and frosting.
I've been sick lately but I'm finally feeling better so I thought I could treat us to some brownies. Kelly's blog has a number of egg-free recipes so I checked them out and found TWO brownie recipes.
I decided to make her egg-free grain-free brownie recipe and I am glad we did. Callum tried these right out of the oven and then asked for seconds. This is huge as he is a very picky consumer of dessert (unless it's cupcakes or ice cream). They're not overly sweet and have the perfect amount of chocolate. I used raw cocao powder and maple syrup instead of stevia (I'm not on the stevia train just yet). I also sprinkled them with some Enjoy Life chocolate chips as Kelly suggests in her post.
The last recipe I tried from Kelly's blog was her egg-free and casein-free biscuits .
We make soup at least once a week and Callum always asks for buns or cornbread. When I saw Kelly had a recipe for dairy-free, egg-free biscuits I knew I had to try them. And they're made with beans! I've never baked with beans before. They were a hit. The kids loved them smothered in almond butter and strawberry jam (see picture). Pete and I liked them with a swipe of coconut butter.
Kelly has quite a few recipes that I'd still like to try (like her second egg-free brownie recipe), but what I'd really like to get my hands on is her cookbook!
Kelly also has a second blog called the Spunky Family Journal which is where you'll find more about her family and their day-to-day life. You can check out some of her artwork there too.
Make sure you hop over to Kelly's blog, or catch her on Facebook and Twitter.
Don't forget to check out the rest of the bloggers who were adopted this month (I was adopted by my Valerie from City Life Eats!). Sea's post should be up in a few days, so check out her blog.

- 2-night Bilbao city break with culinary tour
- Gain a greater appreciation for the arts with a free entrance ticket to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
- Sample the city's culinary offerings during a self-guided pintxos (think tapas) tour
- Refer to a full dossier with suggested itineraries, maps and insider information about the Bilbao region
- Kick up your feet with two nights in inviting 4-star accommodation
- Breakfast, eight pintxos and four drinks included
What You Can Expect
Modern art, innovative cuisine and cultural enrichment await you on this 2-night independent tour of the radically transformed Basque city of Bilbao. Enjoy free entry to the world-renowned Guggenheim Museum, pleasure your palate with traditional tapas and delve into the industrial and artistic heritage of Bilbao. At the start of your experience, you'll receive a comprehensive Bilbao dossier including brochures, vouchers and expert recommendations.
Included in this independent experience are two nights 4-star accommodation, select meals and drinks, and free entry to the Guggenheim museum.
See the Itinerary for further details.
The afternoon of your arrival, check into your hotel, conveniently located near Bilbao's commercial center and the city's top sites. The music palace Euskalduna and city Auditorium are a 3-minute walk from your lodgings, and the city's top museums—the Guggenheim, Fine Arts Museum, and Maritime Museum—are within easy walking distance.
Let your tastebuds lead the way on a walking tour of places where you can sample multiple pintxos—miniature Basque bites, or appetizers. Reference your included road book, which suggests different routes, and explore at your own pace. Your can linger over the eight included pintxos and four drinks at one stop, or visit up to 12 different establishments during your very own food crawl. Make sure to reference the road book to learn the history of these ancient roads that have thrummed with port activity since the 14th century.
Overnight stay at 4-star Hotel Barceló Nervión
Day 2: (B)
If the previous night's cuisine didn't satiate your appetite, enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel before exploring the cultural side of Bilbao. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, just a 15-minute walk from the hotel, is the best place to start. Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry and hailed as one of the most important structures of its time, the museum has housed more than 100 exhibitions since it opened in 1997. Marvel at the way the abstract titanium exterior's curves catch the light, then explore the Guggenheim Bilbao's collection of modern and contemporary art. Highlights from the collection include major works from Willem deKooning and Andy Warhol, as well as Mark Rothko's Untitled (1952-53). In a blend of the old and new, the museum also showcases work by modern and contemporary Basque and Spanish artists. It's easy to spend a day enjoying the museum's collection.
Once you've had your fill of the arts, refer to your road book for any historical streets or buildings you might have missed during the previous night's foray into the city. Tucked between two small mountain ranges, Bilbao has a rich background, and it's easy to take a step back in time as you walk along the river or through tree-lined streets. If you didn't get your fill of pan-fried scallops, cured ham and cañas (large beers) the night before, pop into any of the restaurants included in the dossier for another plate of pintxos before heading back to the hotel.
Overnight stay at 4-star Hotel Barceló Nervión
Day 3: (B)
Savor breakfast on your final day before checking out of your hotel. If there's time, take one last walk through Bilbao's streets to soak in the history—and maybe sneak in a final pintxo. There's always more to be discovered around the corner of one of Basque country's oldest and largest cities.

Add Mike Posner, hitmaking singer/wroter/other stuff guy behind "Cooler Than Me" and "Please Don't Go," to the list of contemporary artists turned into gushing schoolkids by The Bieb's awesomeness. Posner, who co-wrote and co-produced his latest single "Boyfriend," has gotten to know The Bieb fairly well over the recording of Believe, and has nothing negative to say about the teen pop star as a person, performer or potential super-cool grown-up dude. Quoth the Pos:
I think our goal was to make something that me and my friends could listen to in the car…I think we've all known Justin since he was 13, and that's not the kid I was in the studio with anymore. He's an 18-year-old. He skateboards with Lil Wayne and hangs out with Lil Twist. Those are his homies. And he listens to hip-hop and he's a really cool kid. He's not like a corny guy.
Well, if there's one guy out there that knows cool, it's Mike Posner, so if he says Bieber is the man, we suppose that Bieber really must be the fuckin' bomb diggity. Meanwhile, Posner was also fairly forthcoming in his praise for the album he helped Justin craft, putting the rest of pop music on notice in the process.
He's kind of bringing soul back, and rhythm and blues back and definitely hip-hop into his music. I'm really excited to see how it's going to change the landscape, and I know a lot of artists are going to have to go back to the drawing board.
You hear that Kanye West, Chris Brown, Katy Perry? Take those master tapes and throw 'em right out the window. Once Believe drops, it's back to square one with the likes of you. Swaggie.

Milkaholic Sip & See (22 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Carrie…
"My husband and I recently hosted an event for our friends, Ted and Meredith, in honor of their newly adopted son, Colin. Ted and Meredith anxiously waited for Colin's birth and we were all thrilled when he officially became their son. We were honored to welcome Baby Colin with this Milkaholic Sip & See.
I've had this theme in the back of my mind for several years now. 'Milkaholic' just seemed fitting for a Sip & See considering how much time a newborn spends eating! That meant baby bottles, milk and cow print. Yes, cow print! The color scheme was black and white with pops of turquoise. Polka-dot, stripes and cow print patterns were used throughout to add a fresh and modern feel.
I designed the invitation and let it set the tone for the party decor. Sleek and modern yet baby themed was the intent. The Milkaholic baby bottle became a logo that was used throughout the party. The back of the invite featured cow print and a turquoise 'I ♥ MILK' stripe that matched custom address labels from Minted .
With this being a co-ed event, we wanted to keep the decor more modern and less traditional 'baby'. To create a unique backdrop for the dessert table, I painted a canvas to match the party invite. Black and white patterned bunting was hung along the wall above the painting. Mini bottles were filled with milk and given sleek milk labels. The bottles were stacked in tall vases on ice and also mixed into the tub of adult beverages. The theme even permeated the coffee station with mini milk bottles serving up the cream and sugar. The Milkaholic logo was updated to include the baby's name and then framed for additional decoration. White hydrangeas were arranged in tall cylinder vases tied with black satin ribbon.
We wanted to provide an array of miniature desserts so that guests could sample several different items. Delicious sweets from Caramel Swirls were served including their Little Treasures (milk caramel and shortbread cookie dipped in chocolate – yum!), Cafe Caramel Cookies, and Espresso Brownies. Adorable custom sugar cookies were created by The Cookie Jar to match the theme. Sweeties by Kim created chocolate-covered Oreos to match as well. Of course, I designed the cake! Additional desserts included meringue cookies, white chocolate pretzels, cream puffs and cheesecake shots. Cold milk shots were served to wash it all down (along with some adult beverages and coffee).
Activities for a co-ed baby event can be tricky. Not wanting the male guests to feel awkward, I opted for non-organized activities that would still be fun and entertaining. Guests were encouraged to write humorous thoughts onto diapers to provide Ted and Meredith a little chuckle. The Diaper Thoughts station gave the men an avenue to showcase their best and most clever diaper humor! A Well Wishes station encouraged guests to write something sentimental on keepsake cards which were then placed into a glass bubble bowl. Of course, the main activity was oohing and awing over the guest of honor, Baby Colin!
Guests were given a small box filled with 'Kisses from Colin'. Hershey Kisses with patterned labels inside a white box wrapped with coordinating paper and tags. ? ?Everyone had a lovely time meeting Baby Colin and indulging in some sweets. We could not be more thrilled for Ted and Meredith and were honored to welcome their son Colin into this world!?"

IAG Plans for Pain in Spain as European Airlines Struggle
By Jan Hromadko and Matthew Curtin
Fasten your seatbelts. That's the message from airline executives this week as Europe's deteriorating economic outlook amid stubbornly high fuel prices leaves even the most radical cost-cutting plans among the region's major flag carriers looking a bit like "too little, too late."
International Airlines Group warned that it is planning a second radical overhaul of its Iberia unit in Spain as it makes contingency plans for Spain's possible exit from the euro zone. It is believed to be the first company to take such a radical stance on the financially stricken country.
The news sent the shares tumbling 4.1% to 153p.
Analysts at Goodbody said:
"The tone from management was quite downbeat, particularly in relation to Spain and we would have concerns in the near term over demand and yield."
Deutsche Lufthansa has stepped an already far-reaching cost-cutting program while Air France-KLM is pressing ahead with a similarly broad overhaul despite cost-cutting progress in the second quarter.
John Strickland who runs aviation consultancy JLS Consulting said the airlines face a long haul. He said:
"All legacy carriers are facing the challenges of high fuel prices, a sluggish European market and intense competition from low-cost carriers. But cost cutting alone will not overcome these challenges in the longer-term.
"Apart from cost cutting, the key questions that carriers need to address in response are how they can improve productivity and what new business models, particularly for short haul, could look like.
"And maybe the legacy carriers will have to acknowledge that there are areas in which they simply can't compete with low-cost rivals and reduce their offerings accordingly."
Air France's situation still looks very unclear with much complexity in its diverse short haul activity and network. Lufthansa is making progress but is certainly not there yet.
"It will be important to see what they ultimately decide about the structure of a Lufthansa/Germanwings short-haul operation from next year," Mr. Strickland said.
Analysts point to IAG group as being furthest ahead with BA having already "bitten the bullet" on many productivity improvements and having launched (new discount airline) Iberia Express.
But as IAG is now warning that it is considering "a re-evaluation of all aspects of the business" at Iberia, even the best laid plans may not be enough to stabilize Europe's national carriers.
As Keith Bowman at Hargreaves Lansdown said, "losses have exceeded forecast, with expectation for a full year profit now moving to a small loss."
Rising costs continue to thwart the airline, Mr. Bowman added, with the weaker euro proving to be a factor, as well as reduced fuel cost hedging and the hit to staff productivity suffering amid the takeover of BMI.

Gardy's Millpond - Fishing Opportunities
Department fisheries biologists sampled Gardy's Millpond on May 6, 2008. The sample revealed a high diversity with 13 fish species collected. The survey was not as exciting as past years, but the majority of action came from the largemouth bass, bluegills and redear sunfish. These species will primarily provide most of the action for anglers that fish Gardy's Millpond.
Largemouth Bass
The largemouth bass population appears to be reasonably balanced when looking at the overall size structure of collected bass. The one large area of concern is the severe change in catch rate from the 2007 to 2008 surveys. The 2007 catch rate of 176.5 bass/hr was incredible and might have been the result of perfect timing when the bass are starting to pair up for the spawn. The 2008 survey showed a completely different picture with a catch rate of 71/hr. The bass ranged in size from 4.5 to 20.5 inches in length. There were 36 bass that were of quality-size (12 inches or greater). A high proportion of the bass were in the 11 - 16 inch range. Anglers can expect the bass to feed primarily upon the sunfish that are present. Some of the larger bass in the system might be tempted to try their luck at chasing down the gizzard shad that are present.
The survey collected a total of 219 bluegills over the course of 2 sample runs. The expanded catch rate of 328.5 bluegills/hr is slightly higher than the 2007 survey (304/hr). The bluegills ranged in size from 1 to 8.5 inches. A large percentage of the bluegills were less than 6 inches in length. It appears that the 2007 bluegill year class was very successful. There was an abundance of bluegills in the 1 to 2 inch range. Although these fish will not excite anglers, their presence is appreciated by fisheries biologists. These smaller bluegills will provide the essential forage base needed by the 8 to 12 inch bass. It appears that the successful spawn of 2007 has helped to stabilize the recruitment into the bluegill population.
Redear Sunfish
The redear sunfish population appears to be in decent condition. A total of 41 redear sunfish (61.5/hr) were collected with a high proportion of the sample consisting of fish in the 7 to 10 inch range. The 2008 catch rate is down from the 2007 survey (73/hr). This may be a reflection of the variability of sampling from year to year or the result of increased angler harvest. The majority of the redear sunfish were found along the shoreline of the northern creek arm.
Black Crappies
The electrofishing survey revealed a decreased abundance of black crappies with only 18 collected. This total is well below the 2007 survey that collected 38 crappies. The schooling nature of black crappies makes for a hit or miss situation when it comes to encountering them during your typical shoreline electrofishing. The 2008 size distribution ranged from 4.5 to 11.5 inches with the majority in the 6 to 8 inch range. Five of the 18 crappies were over ten inches in length.
Chain Pickerel
The sample revealed a decreased catch rate of chain pickerel with 17 collected (17/hr). This catch rate falls below the 2007 survey (21.8/hr). The 2008 size distribution consisted of small fish ranging in size from 2 to 17 inches. Anglers are reminded that chain pickerel are part of the aquatic ecosystem and serve a purpose in the food web. Anglers should not kill chain pickerel just because they don't like them. Some anglers actually prefer to catch chain pickerel over largemouth bass. Five of the chain pickerel collected were actually YOY (Young of Year) from the 2008 spawn. They measured an average of 2 inches in length at the time of sampling.
Other species
The sample collected a variety of other species in limited abundance. Those species were: brown bullhead (9), yellow perch (9), American eel (13), gizzard shad (2), creek chubsuckers (15), common carp (1), golden shiner (1) and warmouth (4). These species may provide some excitement for anglers from time to time.

Technology & Innovation
TiDiamonds & Minerals
Technology is an increasingly important success factor in the mining and minerals industry. Improvements in technology can change the way that we look at mineral deposits, make our operations safer, help us manage costs and respond to environmental imperatives.
Rio Tinto's Technology & Innovation (T&I) group focuses on creating sustainable value and competitive advantage by making improvements to the way we operate. T&I partners with the business and external partners to provide technical insights into how we run our operations and deliver our projects.
T&I employs approximately 600 people. To help us achieve our goals, we're also working with some of the best minds in the world of academia, through partnerships with leading institutions such as the University of Sydney and Imperial College London.
T&I maintains a culture that treats safety and safety improvements as a core value, like integrity, respect, teamwork, and accountability. We are also developing ways to improve our environmental performance through more efficient ways of mining and processing, and to create new, more highly-specialised, career options for our people.
Launched in 2008, the Rio Tinto Mine of the Future™ programme is not a single mine site but how we plan to change the face of mining with step change improvements in productivity and efficiency.
We are now rolling out a number of technological advancements across our operations to meet the three key themes of the programme:
While Rio Tinto takes a partnership approach to innovation, our advances are tightly guarded. Rio Tinto has a centralised team of intellectual property specialists who use a rigorous process to ensure appropriate management and security of trade secrets, patents, trademarks and copyrights.
T&I is dedicated to identifying value creation opportunities across our operations, and delivering improvements across the mining value chain, from ore reserves to shipping and marketing.
We continually seek ways to improve our operations. We review and revise our processes regularly, and we update them to be more efficient, more value-adding, and more cost-effective. When an operation does something well, we look for ways to replicate that work across the Group.
Rio Tinto has a centralised projects group that is responsible for safely developing and delivering capital projects in partnership with global business units.
This group includes two project delivery hubs that are responsible for the development and execution of major capital projects, and an independent Project Management Office which provides the governance, processes, standards, systems and tools to achieve repeatable success across all major capital and plant projects.
Providing technical insights isn't just about developing new technologies. It's also about ensuring that our investment decisions are thoroughly reviewed and technically sound.
For all capital allocation decisions Rio Tinto has a rigorous process, supported by a team of T&I technical experts who provide independent assessments of all major project proposals, acquisitions or divestments.
Technical assurance is also part of a governance process that ensures we are complying with laws and standards and reporting to our shareholders and other stakeholders in a responsible way.

Mayor Kristen Brown has appointed Carl Malysz as Director of Community Development for the City of Columbus effective April 22, 2013. Malysz is a seasoned veteran in community development in Indiana with more than 30 years of experience, including extensive experience in city planning, downtown and neighborhood redevelopment, affordable housing and economic development.
Under Mayor Brown, the primary mission of the City of Columbus Department of Community Development is to promote the development and maintenance of safe, affordable and attractive housing options that meet the diverse needs of the Columbus community. Mayor Brown's goal is to ensure quality housing opportunities exist for residents of all income levels and stages of life, including young adults, working families, empty nesters, the elderly and persons with disabilities.
As Community Development Director, Carl Malysz's top priority will be to develop a comprehensive housing strategy to grow quality housing options across the spectrum from emergency shelter to affordable housing and market-rate homes in Columbus. He will lead the effort to address needs identified by a housing needs assessment currently underway and work with the Mayor's Advisory Council on Housing to match supply and demand for residential units, housing construction, diverse neighborhoods and the need for housing appropriate for residents and households of various ages and special needs.
Carl will also focus on the revitalization of the city's most distressed neighborhoods. With his leadership, the Department of Community Development will partner with other city departments and community agencies to ensure the most distressed neighborhoods are safe and a place that residents can proudly call home. The City and local agencies and organizations will work together to bring a more comprehensive approach to build upon initiatives already under way, including community policing efforts, code enforcement, improvements of local properties and the Mayor's Neighborhood Cleanup Program.
As a part of neighborhood revitalization, the Department of Community Development will also focus on business corridor revitalization. A strong business corridor can help revive residential neighborhoods. The City is currently studying the State Street business corridor to determine if improvements can be made to restore thriving commerce along the street.
"Carl brings a wealth of community development experience to Columbus. We are excited about the best practices he can provide in affordable housing development, neighborhood revitalization and business corridor revitalization," Mayor Brown said. "He is eminently qualified to lead and advance our Department of Community Development. Carl's experience and expertise will provide great leadership as we work with other public and private organizations to ensure we move the needle on these most pressing community needs."
Prior to joining the City of Columbus, Malysz worked for more than 30 years as a practicing community development expert in the public and private sectors in New Albany, Indiana, and Louisville, Kentucky. He most recently served as Director of Community Housing Initiatives for the City of New Albany. Malysz has also served as Director of Community Development for the City of New Albany, Executive Director of the New Albany City Plan Commission and New Albany Redevelopment Commission, and Deputy Director of Louisville Metro Housing & Community Development. Malysz also has served as Executive Officer of the Home Builders Association of Southern Indiana and has worked with numerous private sector for-profit and non-profit organizations to advance community housing agendas.
He holds a bachelor's degree in urban planning from Michigan State University and a master's degree in public administration/community development from the University of Louisville. He is also a member of the American Planning Association and a certified Economic Development Finance Professional through the National Development Council.
His experience has given him broad-based knowledge of federal and state community development and housing regulations, practical knowledge of affordable housing finance programs and extensive experience implementing a variety of housing programs and public works projects.
He and his wife, Sheila, are in the process of relocating from New Albany to Columbus.
"Having been a resident of Indiana for more than 30 years, I have always been enamored with the City of Columbus because of its architectural treasures, its quality neighborhoods and active community involvement," Malysz said. "I look forward to working with all of the community's public and private organizations to advance our safe and affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization efforts and collectively make our city a better place to live for all residents."

I think you need to keep one in the pipe, because if the situation's bad enough for you to clear leather, it's life or death - or it is that way with me - and the weapon needs to be able to function. 25/100th of a second needed to cycle the slide (provided you have your second hand free to work the slide) may be all you have between answering questions to a LEO investigator and being a statistic in the AG annual report.
My Dad who is 54yo had 2 people try to rob him 7 days apart, one with a gun, and one with a knife. The poker game was first. Door locked. A guy apparently waiting outside came in as someone left pulled a gun and demanded money. The dealer pulled out his .38 snubbie and fired 2 shots. Missed, but I bet the guy SHP. A week later dad was getting luggage out at a hotel with his girl. In an (unzipped) overnight bag he had his ruger mark II. A guy with a steak knife rushed him and as he went for his gun he had to stop and grab the guy's arm to keep from getting stabbed. He dropped his bag and his gun fell out.The guy picked it up and ran (thank GOD!). Instead of being stabbed he was only cut on his arm. He approached me about techniques and guns. 2 days after that he got himself a .38 snubbie, and carries daily.
I cannot for the life of me understand why someone would carry a P220 with the hammer back and no safety. Back when I went from the cocked and lock Colt 1911 to a Double action S&W model 39 I believed some of the stuff that I read about the bad qualities of the DA auto and I took a new hammer drop link and modified it so that it would not drop the hammer when putting the safety on. This gave me a cocked and locked S&W Model 39-2. But I did not like the way the gun worked on the range. I found that carrying a DA auto as it was designed a much better approach. Cock the hammer with the trigger weather it is a Glock Sig or S&W. If you have a problem with the long double action trigger pull. Either PRACTICE or go back to the 1911 design. With the traditional DA my practice is mostly 2 shot bursts from leather DA/SA. IE drop hammer reholster draw fire 2 shots drop hammer reholster draw and fire 2 etc.

There are a few ways to part disks in Linux: raid, partition, and the LVM. How to choose?
We have a server with 10+ disks. Some data in our system is temporary and we wish to use RAID 0 on them. Some are important so we use RAID 1. Of course there are OS and applications however we can afford them to be gone so no raid is planned for them.
Here is the list of files and planned RAID for them:
/ : no raid
/opt/app/logs : raid 0
/opt/data/tmp : raid 0
/opt/data/database/data : raid 1
/opt/backup : raid 1
There are a few ways to part the disks:
1) use RAID:
one disk without RAID
2) use partition:
one disk without RAID
one RAID 0 with 2 partitions
one RAID 1 with 2 partitions
3) use LVM:
one disk without RAID
one RAID 0 with 2 logvols
one RAID 1 with 2 logvols
Please, can someone figure this out, tell from industry practice or personal experience or reference from experts / books?
We are in a real production project. Sorry we don't have sufficient knowledge but we have to carry it out.
Bad English please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks! XM
EDIT: Linux set up 2 partitions (one of them is /boot) and one of them has 2 logvols (swap, /) on its disk; we don't care about them.

College Hockey:Doherty's goal, assist, help St. Lawrence top RIT
ROCHESTER — When RIT freshmen forward Todd Skirving scored the first goal of the game 58 seconds in, the Tigers may have felt they would control this game and defeat St. Lawrence for only the third time since 1982. Unfortunately for the Tigers, they were sadly mistaken.
After Skirving's goal, the Saints scored five of the next six before RIT scored the final goal of the game late in the third period. The Saints ended their two-game losing streak with Friday night's 5-3 victory.
It was a real physical game, as effort was not questioned from either team. Both teams battled hard, as it was a fun offensive game to watch. The Tigers had 50 shots attempted (25 shots on goal) while the Saints achieved 44 total shots attempted (25 shots on goal).
In addition to similar offensive numbers, there were comparable defensive numbers. St. Lawrence's Tyler Parks recorded 22 saves, while RIT's Jordan Ruby had 20 saves. Furthermore, the Saints' defense blocked 13 shots, while the Tigers' defense blocked 11 shots. Finally, each team had exactly six penalties for twelve minutes.
It is often said, "Numbers never lie," so what made the difference if there were such nearly parallel numbers from both teams on offense and defense?
The answer: power plays. St. Lawrence capitalized on three of its six power plays (eight shots), while RIT converted on only two of its six opportunities (10 shots).
The Saints executed on their power-play opportunities in the first and second periods of the game, which gave them a momentum advantage after the first goal by Skirving. After Skirving's goal, there were four consecutive power play goals from both teams, with the Saints being the beneficiary of three of those.
At one point in the game, RIT had more than 30 seconds of a six-on-four power-play and 14 seconds of a five-on-three power play, but could not convert.
Five different players scored for the Saints. Patrick Doherty scored a goal and added an assist, while Jeremy Wick, Alex Dahl, Brian Ward, and Gavin Bayreuther also scored. Justin Baker added two assists. Freshman forward Trevor Hills, the son of RIT associate head coach Brian Hills, recorded his first collegiate assist in the third period.
After the game, RIT coach Wayne Wilson said, "We are playing well at times, but not well enough when the game is on the line in critical situations. We have to work on our mental toughness in clutch situations. Overall I can't complain about our effort level in all but the Colgate and Canisius games. We have to get better as a team."
On the other side, St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said, "I think we're a pretty good offensive team, but defensively we had three goals against. I still think we got a ways to go to tighten up and be a harder team to play against."
The series continues on Saturday at the Frank Ritter Arena.

Warsaw Stock Exchange Firms Lead in Central Europe
Thanks to the Polish government's ambitious privatization drive, the Warsaw Stock Exchange is firming its lead in Central Europe, increasing the distance from its strongest rival in Vienna.
At the end of June, the market value of domestic companies traded in Warsaw was €113 billion, compared with €73 billion listed in Vienna. Trading volumes, a much more important indicator, were also higher than for competing markets, at nearly €25 billion in the first half of the year, compared with €20.7 billion each in Vienna and Athens.
Despite high growth, the Warsaw bourse still is a poor relative of the most developed markets. The market value of domestic companies listed at the SIX exchange in Zurich was €802.6 billion, and in Frankfurt at €903.2 billion.
After a string of acquisitions, the Austrian bourse wants its four stock exchanges — in Vienna, Prague, Budapest and Ljubljana — to be seen as a single market. There's still some way to go for Warsaw to overtake that group, but it's on its way, having reduced the gap by more than a third in recent months. At the end of June, the Vienna-led CEE Stock Exchange Group had the capitalization of domestic companies at €131.9 billion with turnover at €41.3 billion.
The Warsaw Stock Exchange made an impressive 70% jump on year in trading volume, taking the leading position in the region after the Polish government floated several large companies as it looks for proceeds to boost the cash-strapped central budget.
Poland floated insurer PZU in May in a $2.5 billion initial public offer and also sold its majority stake in electric energy utility Tauron in June in an IPO worth $1.3 billion — at a time when European IPOs were dropping like flies amid the ongoing market turmoil. The two offers were among the five largest in Europe in the second quarter.
The Warsaw bourse was also the IPO market leader by total value, with seven companies raising a total of €3.1 billion in the second quarter on the regulated market. At the London Stock Exchange, 16 companies raised €2.9 billion in the period.
After many strategic sales in the 1990s, the current government initially tried to follow the same pattern. But strategic investors refused to pay the amounts the Polish government was hoping for, which derailed several projects, including an attempt to sell the Warsaw bourse itself to Frankfurt-based Deutsche Boerse.
The treasury ministry recently changed its strategy, promoting the IPOs of privatized companies to individual investors, helping the Warsaw bourse along the way. More than 200,000 people subscribed to PZU shares in the May IPO — one of the most effective efforts to promote capitalism that Poland has seen after the fall of the centrally planned communist regime in 1989.
The government plans to privatize the Warsaw Stock Exchange later this year, offering 63% of shares to the public. After supplying a trading platform to Warsaw, NYSE Euronext could become a minority shareholder in the Warsaw bourse in several years, Polish Treasury Minister Aleksander Grad told Dow Jones Newswires in June.
The Warsaw platform's latency — the time it takes between an order being sent and the recipient getting it — has been reduced three to four times over the past years, but in late 2009 it was still at 41 milliseconds, compared to the speed under a millisecond that is the trend for larger stock markets.
A big challenge ahead is the often seen lack of transparency and law enforcement that provides fertile ground for insider trading. The relatively low free float of a number of companies continues to be a problem, just like the number of highly speculative titles.
But even so, with the government determined to sell down its holdings in some of the country's biggest companies, the Warsaw exchange looks set to catch up with its bigger rivals in western Europe sooner rather than later.

According to a July 14 tweet from Jon Alba, former Shield member, Seth Rollins, was legitimately injured during the WWE Monday Night Raw episode that was filmed July 14 in Richmond. Rollins, who recently made a heel turn by smashing Roman Reigns in the back with a steel chair, was competing in a six-man tag team match with Randy Orton and Kane, when he went down with what appeared to be a knee injury.
Rollins, Orton and Kane were battling Reigns and John Cena, when the former Shield standout went down with an injury at the midway mark of the match on WWE Monday Night Raw. The WWE hasn't made any official statement yet on what the actual injury is, or how long he's expected to be out for. The injury wasn't just part of the script, as the ref made an 'X' hand gesture to signify that someone in the match had been legitimately injured.
Rollins was immediately attended to by trainers on duty, and he was unable to continue in the WWE Monday Night Raw match. His injury appeared to stem from a high-flying move off one of the top ropes. If Rollins is out for an extended period of time, it would be devastating for the WWE. With former champion Daniel Bryan out for longer than expected due to neck surgery, Rollins was supposed to carry the torch as the face of the WWE.
Rollins had been promoted as one of the top heels in the WWE, ever since splitting up the Shield. If he's out for an extended period of time, the WWE would be left scrambling to rewrite the script for their future house shows. With Battleground coming up in just four days, it would be a tough pill for the WWE to swallow if Rollins is unable to compete.
When will Rollins return? At present time, not much is known about his situation. More details will likely leak in the days and weeks ahead, after Rollins has been looked at by medical staffers. Rollins became a worldwide superstar when he was part of The Shield tag-team supergroup, but he's been propelled to new heights since taking off as a singles star two months ago. He aligned himself with The Authority, and began to draw real heat from WWE Universe.
Rollins was expected to be appearing both at WWE Battleground and the upcoming SummerSlam special event. Knee injuries are notoriously tricky to deal with, so the WWE might have a real problem on their hands if he's unable to compete for those events. The hope is that Rollins will tweet about his situation to provide fans with more details on how his rehab is coming along. Rollins was supposed to battle Dean Ambrose at Battleground, but that bout looks to be in jeopardy.

Dib, 50 Cent, Dibella and Gradovich pose in NYC Wednesday, ahead of the Friday Foxwoods/ESPN card. (Ed Diller)
If you were expecting 50 Cent to walk into the Strand Hotel in midtown NYC packin' a 9 with a posse of menacing thugs in tow, talking eff-bomb laden menacing trash, you'd have been mistaken this afternoon. The Queens native is doing the boxing promotion thing, adding that to his resume, to go with rapper, and all-around enterpeneur who has set up nice revenue streams from his energy shot line, his headphones and who also made a killing on an early investment in a beverage company which was bought out by Coke. Will the boxing promotion foray be generating him more green or leave him in the red, and looking for another arena to conquer after a spell? That remains to be seen, but I've been impressed with how 50 has been soaking up knowledge of industry vets, rather than parachuting in with the belief that his skill set and wisdom in other realms will necesarily translate into the boxing world.
50 co-promotes a card at Foxwoods in Connecticut on Friday night, along with NY-based Lou Dibella. 50's top man in his small stable, Billy Dib (35-1), the IBF featherweight champ, headlines against challenger Evgeny Gradovich, and all of them gathered at the Strand to hype the card, which will be shown on ESPN's "Friday Night Fights."
I asked Dibella what he thinks of 50 within the boxing sphere and the promoter of middleweight champion and pound-for-pound ace Sergio Martinez gushed. Yes, I know, he's a promoter. Gushing is part and parcel of what he does. But I've known Dibella for a good little while, and when he says, "This guy impresses me so much, he's so smart," then I'm pretty certain he's not BSing me. If he didn't think that, he would have offered a less gush-y, more politically correct boilerplate assessment.
I'm not a rap fan myself, and really knew next to nothing about the man apart from some Wiki-level basics. He'd been shot, he'd dealt drugs, he'd used that darker side material to his advantage in marketing. But 50 came across as almost gentle, and thoughtful at the Strand. He talked about wanting to "get the youth that has drifted away from boxing" to watch fights again. No, he didn't haze the 15-0 Russian Gradovich, with lyrical thunder you might hear on his albums, but he did get in a zinger at old pal Floyd Mayweather. They were planning on doing the promotional thing together, but that fell apart this summer, over what is still not exactly clear. 50 asked the writers how the great boxers are remembered. Is it because they fought the best, or because they maneuvered skillfully? One writer assumed 50 was talking about Mayweather and 50 pounced.
Ah ha, I didn't say Floyd's name, but you assumed that.
He grinned broadly, and let a media handler take him downstairs for another appointment. He played his best tune, left on a high note, left all wanting more.
50 Cent is assuming there will be a vaccum in the game to be exploited, I thought to myself on the same day I listened to Don King laud Bernard Hopkins on a conference call after Hopkins talked about wanting to beat King's fighter Tavoris Cloud March 9 at Barclays Center, and thus stick a nail in the 81-year-old King's promotional coffin. King doesn't have the taste for the sparring anymore, and while Bob Arum does, he too is 81, and who knows when that zest might evaporate. Seeing and hearing the 37-year-old budding mogul 50 Cent in action, it looked to me like it wouldn't be a smart move to assume that this go won't be in this for the long haul, and might well be leading the pack in five years.
Woods on Twitter.
where do I begin? the title of this article is 50-cent- dibella-dib.The writer mentions 50 cents 9 times and dibella one time before he even mentions dib. you know dib, the ibf champ who has to fight on fnf at this point of his career. ok any questions about dib mr dibella? dibella= yes he is so smart( actually talking about 50.) hey mr dibella if dib wins who is he lined up against next? headphones and drinks money ect ect. what? is this press conferece about dib and the fighters? yes, 50 made a joke about floyd. as aboxing fan its frustrating when boxing writers write articles more about the silly promoter then the actual fighter himself. does the writer actually believe that we believe that 50 cents was going to shoot up the hotel press conference? any questions on dibs career or opponant? future matchups? working on anything new in camp? no real questions. only sad grown men who get excited and squee likegroupies" he is so smart" what does that mean? its degrading. oh well. Ill be watchyng fnf this friday and drinking the heady topper ipa. I have a feeling I will spit some of my beer up when 5o cents takes away more of his boxers attention.
I think it's to Dibbs advantage. You may dislike 50 but he's got a slew of fans that adore him and will pay attention to anything he does, including be lowered into the ring dropping f bombs. It's win win for Dibbs. I mean, let's be real here, Dibbs ain't nothing super thrilling so he needs the extra push from a very well known guy like Curtis Jackson. If 50 assembles a good boxing management/promotional team...he'll succeed. Don't be too much of a tyrant... Don't wear too many hats... It's about understanding what you can't do yourself that'll make you successful in this venture. And you can bet your last fifty cent on that. Have to say though.. He definitely showed his snake side the way he flipped on Floyd. Leave the surveillance on when Curtis is in your house... He's a Judas.
You make a valid point cuz' truth be told I don't know jack or Jill about Billy Dibb. Lmao.
I won't speculate too much on Floyd... Sorta feel baited and hooked when I do but I never even for a nano second expected to see Canelo on that undercard, with or without that signature. The kid is a main event'er ... Even will draw on PPV (don't sleep, this hombre rojo can easily draw 400,000 subscriptions. At least I think so!) so laughable to this poster when they tried selling the undercard nonsense . Some real suspicious dealings going on behind those golden gates...
Curtis Jackson puts out an inferior product, his "music" is garbage, he gave them what he thought they wanted, hell do it in boxing! Because of people like him, people dont know how to play the friggun Contrabasoon, or the Oboe even! Get em outtof here!
Talking like that about 50 will get you pistol whipped, Bernie. Behave!!!!
Thats sounds like a real civilized answer Southpaul! The role of the "voice" is to keep governments and other oppressive entities in check, rather you go on having police and military people go in your neighborhood to kick a**! That goes the same about Corporate entities who exist to drown out your music with trash. Consider the people on plantations, they had evreything taken away from them, but they couldnt take away there music! And they still cant take away Whisteling Dixie! I hope you can read between the lines my good man!
Hehehehehehe! SouthPaul, B-Camp ain't scared of no "Friscoe!" I'm still not feeling exactly what a "Friscoe" is, but B-Camp moves to his own drumbeat. So all that I can do, is just retreat. He brings the straight-up be-a-good-guy heat. And sometimes I'm a sinner. In this topsy-turvy world, it takes the good and bad tude to become a winner.
I will straighten up when I die and go to heaven. No way that I'm going to hell. But if I do, I'll kick Satan's @ss, pi$$ out his fire, pee pee in his red-@ss eyes and slap his snake-haired wifey. Hahaha!
He'd holla at Big POPPA God and Lil' Daddy Jesus and Mother Mary, the saints and all the heavenly angels and dey wings that he is gonna retired from evil if they don't put Radam G's little Pinoy @ss outta Helldom. Hehehe!
I'd even take Satan's pitchfolk and stick him in his evil @ss with it. He'd be crying like a bytch. Then I'd slap da the ice off him, because his Helldom would be Radam G chillin' crib by then.
Oh, NOPE! Lucifer, Satan, or the devil under any his pseudonyms would want the gig of a Thrilla in Manila or a Rumble in the Jungle with me. Y'all know me! I'm down with O-P-P! Holla!
Radam, Im losing the subtleties here?
I know B-Camp. You are one serious cat. For me, it is Friscoe -- I mean loco fun -- to jive around. Holla!
Lmfao at Radam. You crazy homey. Bernie, he's beyond crazy. He's insane. Team 50 read these boards and next time they see Bernie at a press conference he's fixing to get pistol whipped, tied up, gaged and tossed into a trunk of a car and taken for a long ride off a short atlantic city pier. Behave Bernie!!!!!
Lotta Nggas died in this land for freedom of speech, lotta friscoes too! Nevermind with the Press Conferemces , Theyre sponsored by foreign investors! So if its out of your pocket and not for the public good you could all pound salt!
Curtis looked timid tonight on FNF's. The clown looks like he got in over his head for his young years, I believe with all of the advertising, he didnt spend one cent of his fifty! It was the same old story hes been running all week. He looked like a darn amatuer out there!! Its evident Boxings not strong now, theyre gasping for air! Look at the garbage theve fed us in the last two months! Its almost like national defence has its interest for Boxing not to put out a good American product! I say recruit from special ed, go to the farms, put it out to the suburbs, It aint working anymore!
Bernie Campbell, USA Boxing News, Look me up Friscoes! You too Curtis! Good Paper, Good Price, Strictly the facts, no promotional BS, Well Established! No Advertising, Former fighters running the publication, No internet! No Agenda, No Axe to grind! See yas at the press conference!
Get this serious chump outta my face! You hear me Curtis?
Curtis is learning the hard way,... now we're about to see what he's made of.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

FRESNO, Calif. --- The Fresno State baseball team learned early Monday morning that the Bulldogs will be heading to play in the NCAA Palo Alto Regional starting Friday at 6 p.m. PT against the Stanford Cardinal on Klein Field at Sunken Diamond.
Fresno State (30-26) is making its 34th NCAA Tournament appearance with four trips to the College World Series and won the 2008 national championship.
"One thing to watch, remember when Fresno State won the whole thing a few years ago they were a four seed," ESPN College Baseball Analyst Kyle Peterson said on the selection show Monday morning. "(Stanford pitcher Mark) Appel is 9-1 on the year and his only loss this year is to Fresno State. It's a tough opener for Stanford."
The Bulldogs enter regional play as the No. 4 seed after winning its seventh straight Western Athletic Conference championship in thrilling style.
Fresno State entered the 2012 WAC Tournament seeded fifth and won five of its tournament-record six games played. The 'Dogs survived three elimination games - in which they came from behind in all three, including a walk-off 4-3 victory over Sacramento State in 13 innings in the championship game, to secure its sixth tournament title in the past seven years.
"A culmination of the whole season was early games against Pepperdine, early games against Stanford where we were knocking our heads against the wall and not making quick enough, early enough or the right adjustments," Fresno State head baseball coach said. "You don't learn by sitting by the water cooler. You have to get out and play. We are running out four or five freshmen every day almost every day. They had a lot to learn and finally over the last month, they are getting it and playing well."
In the past 16 games, the Bulldogs are 12-4 to improve to 85-31 in games played in the month of May since 2006.
The four-team regional of Stanford (No. 1 seed), Pepperdine (No. 2 seed), Michigan State (No. 3 seed) and Fresno State (No. 4 seed) will send its winner to play the winner of the Tallahassee Regional in a Super Regional for a spot in the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.
Game times for the Palo Alto Regional will be 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and if necessary, Monday at 6 p.m.
All-session tickets will go on sale on Tuesday at 9 a.m. with prices ranging from $60 (full price reserved) to $40 (general admission) to $25 (discounted general admission). Patrons can call 1-800-STANFORD or visit gostanford.com to purchase tickets. Single game tickets will go on sale the day of the game (if available).
Bulldog fans are encouraged to purchase all-session tickets as the Regional is expected to be at or near capacity all weekend.
The games will be broadcast globally on ESPN3, which is available online at www.espn3.com, and on the radio at AM 940 KYNO.
All times listed are Pacific.
"Discover Fresno State Athletics!" - AM 940 KYNO is the flagship radio station for Bulldog Baseball.

I've made an ERD in MySQL Workbench, where I added foreign keys to visualize the relationships. In the actual database I want to work without the foreign keys (I'll organize that in my application).
When I export a create script, there is somewhere a function called "skip creation of foreign keys" or anything like that.
Now I want to sync the model directly with my database, but it looks like there is no equivalent option in the synchronization function.
I can also not find this option in the wizard for exporting an alter script, which would also be ok.
Am I just missing it or is that impossible?
