AIKEN, S.C. - University of South Carolina Aiken volleyball player Samantha Lukralle has been selected as the Days Inn Downtown Aiken USC Aiken Athletic Department Student-Athlete of the Month for October.
During the second month of the Pacers' 2010 season, Lukralle set two school records while leading USC Aiken's back row in defense corralling in a team-high 285 digs in 54 sets averaging 5.29 digs per set. Only once during the month did she fail to record double-digit digs after opening the month collecting at least 20 digs in the first six matches.
A sophomore libero from Lindenhurst, N.Y., Lukralle collected a month-high 34 digs in USC Aiken's 3-2 victory over the Tornado of King College during the Pacer Volleyball Invitational on October 22. The 34 digs were just six shy of her career-high that she set in the final match of the month of September when she collected 40 digs against Augusta State.
During the Pacers' 3-0 win over Coker College, Lukralle set her first school record of the season as she tallied 10 service aces in the match with the Cobras. Her 10 service aces broke the previous record of nine service aces in a single match that originally set by former Pacer great Roxanna Rivera in 1995 and then matched by Vicki Elliott in 1996.
Over the final weekend of the month, Lukralle continued to control the Pacers' back row and set her second record of the season, third of her career, during USC Aiken's home match against PBC No. 1 Flagler College; this time eclipsing her own previous record for most digs in a single season. Lukralle surpassed the previous mark of 523 digs in a single season, a record she set as a freshman last year, and currently has a team-high 552 digs, averaging 4.97 digs per set, heading into USC Aiken's final two matches of the regular season.
The Days Inn Downtown Aiken USC Aiken Athletic Department Student Athlete of the Month award honors one student-athlete each month from an in-season sport for their hard work and effort.
Each month one winner will be chosen from an in-season sport.

Final score on Panama vs. Cub Gold Cup soccer game this morning was 6-0 moments ago. The winner of this Mexico soccer game today July 20, 2013 will now face Panama in the semifinals. So will Copa Oro fans be asking "when is the Mexico vs. Panama 2013 semifinals game" later this evening? They will if Mexico delivers a big win this afternoon.
Mexico vs. Trinidad y Tobago (start time 3:35 PM PST) features one of the best teams of the Gold Cup against one of the most unpredictable. Trinidad, like Cuba, struggled qualifying to these Gold Cup quarterfinals. Trinidad finished in second place in Group B with four points. That was the result of one win, one loss and one draw.
But Mexico has not been without fault. The team was loosing key matches before this Copa this year, officials remind news. In fact, Mexico lost their opener in the Copa Oro against Panama. If they win today, Mexico vs. Panama 2013 will deliver a semifinals rematch on July 24 from Cowboys Stadium.
The key for today's game however is Marco Fabian. The Mexican sensation has been scoring for the team in every Copa game so far. He produced the only goal in the Mexico vs. Panama 2013 Copa Oro opening match. He scored against Canada. And he did again for Mexico against Martinique just last week.

Police: Footprints in snow lead to arrestStaff Report | February 09,2013Rutland Police say they followed footprints from a convenience store robbery to a man they arrested shoveling snow outside a home on Clover Street early Saturday morning.
At 3:15 a.m., police responded to a burglary alarm at the Midway Mobil on South Main Street where evidence showed that someone had smashed out a window with a crowbar, police said.
Numerous cartons of cigarettes were taken during the break-in, police said.
With new snow blanketing the ground, police said they followed a set of tracks across South Main Street to Clover Street where the tracks ended at a driveway being shoveled by 42-year-old Dean Hugerth.
While Hugerth lives in Rutland, the people residing inside the home told police he didn't live there. Review of surveillance camera footage inside the store showed Hugerth breaking in and taking the cartons, police added.

"Dear Steve,
Proposed Loan Modification-Only 17 dollars less than my original mortgage. Why?
I have been trying to get a loan modification with Bank of America for 4 years now. I kept getting the run around and it seemed every time I called I got the same old story-the paperwork has expired and must be resubmitted.
I went through this for at least 4 years. I finally got a packet via Fed Ex telling me I have been approved for a modification.
At first I was happy but then I continued to read. My original mortgage was 1,037.00 a month. The proposed modification tells me I will need to make 3 consecutive payments of 1,020.47 beginning April 1 and then the 1,020.47 will be my new modified payment.
That is only $17.00 less than before. I thought modifications were supposed to help reduce a payment to a more reasonable amount.
My loan has a ridiculously high interest rate at 6.95. I am very hesitant to agree to this since I can't possibly make that payment on my bring home income. I am very discouraged and wonder if I should do a deed in liu and bail.
Dear Susan,
Let me be blunt for a moment. You have no "right" to a mortgage modification and no bank is required to modify your mortgage.
Overall the mortgage modification programs out there have been a joke. Except for some people which received meaningful reductions in their mortgage amount owed, the majority of people received little significant help.
All banks that consider mortgage modifications run your conforming application through their modification policy and procedure. What it spits out on the other side is what they generate.
Mortgage modifications are not supposed to help reduce a payment to a more manageable. They are supposed to meet the internal program the bank agreed to. There are a couple of federal programs (links below) that if you are eligible for, may help.
I would suggest you immediately contact a HUD Housing Counselor and discuss your specific situation. Their services are free to you and subsidized by the government. They have experience with the programs available and can advise you if there is a more suitable program for you.
If your home is unaffordable a strategic default, where you walk away from the house and file bankruptcy, is always an option. But you'd have to evaluate that based on the dollars and cents of your specific situation and if it makes sense for you at this time to take advantage of the legal fresh start and second chance you are entitled to.
If that is something you'd like to explore then I'd suggest you click here to find a local bankruptcy attorney and talk to them for free about your specific situation. Get the facts and then you can make an informed and educated decision if bankruptcy is right for you.

My air went out suddenly so I checked the ac fuse-it was ok. I thought maybe the blower relay might be bad. I replaced it with one from Advanced Auto. It didn't help. The problem was the ac control switch. However I don't feel bad replacing a 25 year old part as it was an original part. After fixing the control switch air worked fine, so the part I replaced must also be working fine.

"Chasing Ice" is a documentary about nature photographer James Balog's "Extreme Ice Survey," which uses time-lapse photography and video to document the severe reduction of glaciers due to climate change. And also it's a movie about proving that climate change exists. In its best moments, the movie is about looking at the hypnotizing majestic movements of glaciers and the very impressive and disturbing time-lapse of glacier retreat.
In terms of the "Extreme Ice Survey," the movie is mostly interested in the story of how the time-lapse photography came about. It seems like it would have been a simple thing to set up cameras in front of glaciers and allow them to auto-shoot. But actually, nothing like that had ever been done before and special equipment had to be created. And getting the equipment to the glaciers became increasingly difficult for Balog. The trips require much hiking and ice climbing and Balog has an increasingly dysfunctional knee. But he seems willing to completely ignore his body in order to get the photos he needs. In the opening scene we see him happily standing barefoot in the Arctic Ocean to get a close-up of some ice at shore. That's dedication. I spent a summer in Northern Canada and even dipping a hand or foot in that water for a second is torture.
The revealing of the time-lapse photos is satisfying after curiosity builds for much of the movie. There's a great score by J. Ralph that plays during the montage that together creates a hauntingly beautiful aesthetic.
Unfortunately we don't get enough of the time-lapse photos or of Balog's other, beautiful ice photos. The time-lapse stuff understandably happens at the end because the movie is partly about getting the images.
The movie teases us by throwing in a Balog photo or two from time to time and then only in the end credits do we get an extended montage.
In addition to those things, the movie is also a lecture on climate change. In this way, the movie is meant for American audiences more than anyone else. The U.S. is the only country in the world still debating the existence of climate change caused by global warming. Which isn't to say that most of the rest of the world is further along in solving the problem. We live in the age of irony where we exercise our concern for climate change by saying "Isn't it ironic that we're destroying the earth like this when we know full well we shouldn't be." And then happily go back to doing it.
Balog says that he undertook the "Extreme Ice Survey" because people need a visual aid to understand that climate change is real. Balog explains that he could have been a scientist but chose not to because he didn't like working with statistics and computer models. He didn't want the subject of his work to be reduced to that, which seems to also be the purpose of the movie. The movie then shows us a bunch of statistics and computer models to prove that climate change is happening.
Personally, I didn't feel that I needed another lecture on climate change. I would rather the movie just be about Balog's attempts to publicize the effects of climate change through his study than also be a movie about proving it. But whatever the result of Balog's project, he's doing admirable work creating a visual document of glaciers that we might never see again.
Note: the end credit sequence that features Balog's photos and a song sung by Scarlett Johansson can be seen on youtube here.

Watch: 'Real Steel' star Hugh Jackman talk 'intense' training with Sugar Ray Leonard
Needless to say, it's not a smart move to mess around with Sugar Ray Leonard - even when you're as big a star as Hugh Jackman
"He [was] like, 'My name's attached to this, you're not gonna make me look bad'," said the actor of training with the boxing legend for the upcoming sci-fi movie "Real Steel".
In the film Jackman plays a former boxer living in a near-future world where robots have replaced humans in the ring, so it was essential that he look the part for the role, which requires him to show off his character's boxing prowess in several scenes. It's clear from our conversation that Leonard, who Jackman described as "intense", wasn't going to let the actor slack whatsoever.
"Real Steel" has received surprisingly positive reviews in the lead-up to its release this Friday (including one from our own resident critic Drew McWeeney), and much of that is thanks to the palpable chemistry between Jackman and young actor Dakota Goyo, who plays his son. You can watch the video above to hear the "Wolverine" actor talk about developing that on-screen relationship with Goyo, perfecting the American accent he's so often required to use for his films, and why above all else he considers "Real Steel" a character-driven film.
Also, make sure to watch Drew's earlier conversation with Leonard below to get his take:
"Real Steel" hits theaters this Friday, October 7th.

Effects of single parenthood on educational aspiration and student disengagement in Korea

|divorce, educational aspiration, Korea, school disengagement, single-parent families
The recent rapid increase in divorce, along with its distinctive cultural and welfare environments for single-parent families, makes Korea an interesting case for examining effects of single parenthood on children's education. Using data from Korean 9th and 12th graders, I compare the levels of educational aspiration and student disengagement between students with two parents and those with a single parent, distinguishing divorced single fathers, widowed single fathers, divorced single mothers, and widowed single mothers. Logistic regression analyses show that students with a divorced single parent, regardless of gender of the parent, are much less likely to aspire to four-year university education and more likely to be disengaged than their counterparts with two parents. The effects of widowhood disappear once control variables are held constant. Lower household income among single-parent families explains in part the poorer educational outcomes of their children. Parent-child interaction is another important mediating factor for the effect of single fatherhood but not for single motherhood. The relevance of the extended family system and distinctive features of post-divorce living arrangements in Korea is discussed to understand the effects of single parenthood.

Like everyone else in the book trade we pay close attention to developments in the field of e-readers and e-reading. And here's something that appears to have gone unnoticed at this point. Which might be quite important. And which couldn't be worse timed for one of the companies involved – or better, for the other.
Many of you reading this will have a smartphone running Google's Android operating system (OS). Some of you – a small number at this point – will also have a tablet computer or e-reader running it. If you have, and you read books on your device, there's a strong possibility that you use Amazon's Kindle app to do so. It's definitely the market leader, in the UK at least.
Here's the thing: it's all going wrong. The latest update to the app seems to have, not to put too fine a point on it, dropped a dirty great big digital spanner into the Kindle gears, and stopped it from working on a wide variety of devices – so the app's reviews on Google Play (where you download the app) currently look like this:
Complaints are coming in thick and fast, and seem to cover three main themes:
- the app's not starting on the Nexus 7 tablet. As this is Google's own tablet offering, and set to be a huge seller, this is a fairly big deal
- the app's not starting, or is very slow, on a selection of phones. (Including, for the record, my own HTC Wildfire, so this is a annoying for me)
- the font size has defaulted to "huge" which appears to be driving readers mad (though I've not seen how big it is myself, I can imagine that this would be an irritating bug)
So, something for Amazon to worry about, especially given the millions of Android tablets that Google and many others plan to sell in the next month. If all the owners of shiny new Nexus 7s are forced to buy their ebooks elsewhere, well… that's going to really hurt, in the long run.
In that context, they might also worry about this, which is reported on thebookseller.co.uk today.
"Barnes and Noble has released Nook apps for android, iPad and iPhone users in the UK.
The apps are free to download and will link to the nook.co.uk website allowing customers can download Nook books onto their android and Apple devices."
Nook, of course, is probably the leading competition for Kindle at this point, and their move into the UK will be welcomed by many who would like to see the Amazon device's near-monopoly seriously addressed (the same applies to Kobo, originally a Canadian company, now Japanese-owned, who have a strong presence in the UK via their partnership with WH Smith).
It'll be interesting to see how this pans out – but at the moment, one imagines, they are feeling fairly sweaty over at Kindle HQ, and reasonably smug at Nook.
Woof! Game on!
UPDATE: in the interests of journalistic rigour we've just put the Kindle app on the office Nexus 7 through its paces. Weirdly, it works perfectly for our office's user ID (which is new, and has only "read" one book) and not at all for my own user ID (which is a year old, and has "read" about 20). So there is something up.

DownThemAll Chrome – Status and Alternative
DownThemAll or simply dTa is free to download software, which is basically a download manager. Some part of this software is open source and distributed under GPL license. Developed by freelance software professionals, this is a popular software. Apart from download manager, it can also be use for downloading links and files (media, documents, etc) that are embedded in the web site (page).
Unfortunately this software is not available for Chrome and as per the feedback from the development team they don't have plans to develop it in near future (for Chrome). But the good part is that there is certain software that can be used in place of dTa in Chrome and are equally good.
JDownloader is Java-based utility, which can be used as download manage, accelerator and link grabbing service. Similar to dTa in feature set and performance, this software can be downloaded from here. You can select as per platform i.e. Windows, Linux, and Mac etc. Here we have taken example of Window™ platform since its widely used.
- Select WebInstaller or offline Installer, download file and open (or run).
- Since this is java based, the installer will search for Java™ Runtime Environment. If the same is not installed, it will prompt for installation.
- Click Download or Locate (if present locally).
- Click Finish to complete install.
- Please note that in some cases, this default auto down loader does not install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) successfully. In such an instance, please install Java directly from the website. After successful JRE installation, you may need to re launch the JDownloader.
- On proper installation and run, the following window shall display.
- Please make note that on first JDownloader launch, it may check for updates and if required, updates may be downloaded and installed.
Next step – Chrome Plug-in install
Now the second (and important) part of installation process is the addition of JDownloader extension in Chrome. This particular extension can be installed from this link.
- Click on Add to Chrome, to install extension. On successful installation of the extension, JDownloader icon will appear besides address bar in Chrome.
How to download
Now open any web page that you want to download (embedded files, links, etc.) and press the JDownloader icon. Please refer to the example page below:
Press Allow it! And open JDownloader. Click Start downloads in list (or Alt+P) to download them all.
Also note that sometimes it may be possible that auto link transfer may not happen (due to Chrome version mismatch, platform dependencies or otherwise). In that case user need to copy the page link and paste into Add URL(s) – Parse URL(s) – Continue to make it work. JDownloader will parse the link and display the files to be downloaded.

Gaelic Theatre, Sydney
November 5, 2010
Supports: Trial Kennedy, Black Devil Yard Boss, Arts Martial
Review by Sam Radojcin
Opening the evening were Perth indie rockers Arts Martial. They were a late addition and many of the punters had still not filed inside. It may have been a bit discouraging, but being the professionals they are, Arts Martial plugged away with material that sounded reminiscent to Bloc Party. As more people came in, they started to get a warmer response which would have no doubt made the trip worth it.
Next up were Melbournian power trio Black Devil Yard Boss. For those who don't know, BDYB was formed out of the ashes of popular Australian band Mammal and features two members of said band so I was not sure what to expect. What we got was a "half hour of raw power" courtesy of some dirty blues rock delivered with power and intensity. Tracks like "One Dead Letter" and "Black Devils Rising" really come alive in the live setting. Overall, BDYB were pretty damn tight. Frontman Pete Williamson (sporting a Dave Grohlesque look) sang while pulling off some sweet guitar licks and even soloed away behind his back, bassist Big D kept the groove going and drummer Zane Rosanoski amazed with his insane drum skills. Expect bigger things from BDYB down the road.
Following a band like Black Devil Yard Boss would not be an easy feat and Melbourne alternative rockers Trial Kennedy had that honour. These guys seemed like the dark horse of the bill and having seen them before, I was not sure how they would go down with this crowd. Well, their musical stylings and their enthusiastic stage performance (mostly from guitarist Stacey Gray) got the crowd going and incited an healthy moshpit. Sure, they weren't the heaviest band on the bill, but they did their job very well – getting the crowd ready for the headliner.
By this time, The Gaelic was considerably packed from wall to wall and everyone seemed excited for what was to come. After a bit of a lengthy delay, the lights dimmed and Shihad hit the stage and opened with "The Final Year of the Universe", the first track from their latest release Ignite. Throughout the next 70+ minutes, the band stormed through with more energy and passion than most of their contemporaries can do nowadays. Frontman Jon Toogood was everywhere, despite being sick. He still gave the crowd a hell of a show: going up to the balcony, playing on the roof above the sounddesk and scaling the PA stack. Needless to say, the venue's security looked a bit worried. Bassist Karl Kippenburger was all smiles while thumping away, guitarist Phil Larkin provided the riffs (and the odd keyboard parts) and drummer Tom Larkin kept the machine running precisely.
As this was the Ignite tour, the bulk of the set covered the new album and the new stuff goes down pretty well live. Ignite was represented by "Lead or Follow", the ominous electronically tinged "Sleepeater", "Ignite", "I'm a Void", "This Lonely Fire" and anthemic rocker "Engage". Not being ones to ignore their past, Shihad also delivered plenty from their back catalogue - "My Mind's Sedate", "Comfort Me", "Run", "The General Electric", "Envy", "Semi-Normal", "Pacifier" and "Rule the World". The crowd were more than happy to provide vocals whenever prompted and the band seemed genuinely happy from the response.
Shihad proved once again why they are one of the best live touring acts from Australia / New Zealand and I am sure if you asked the majority of people in attendance as they were filing out the door they would gladly agree.

We have all seen those movies with exciting, high-speed car chases in them. While they are thrilling to watch on the big screen, in real life, it is extremely dangerous to drive too fast on the roadways throughout the United States. Speed limit signs or to be exact, the MUTCD R2-1 signs, display the legal speed limit of a given area that drivers need to adhere to while they traverse the roads. Signs such as these play an important part in keeping the roads safe around the clock and through all sorts of weather. Our company constructs durable, highly-visible signs for this purpose, according to the specifications that the federal and local governments require for these signs. If you need statistics to prove how dangerous fast driving is in this country, consider the fact that road accidents cause 260,000 children to die each year and injure about 10 million of them from ages 10 to 19 years old. We even offer signs that help point out that kids are at play, which state, "10 MPH (image of a child running) WATCH FOR CHILDREN" to instruct drivers to move slowly down the street to do our part to reduce the accidents caused from excessive speed. .
In 1861, the first speed limit was legally set in the United Kingdom. Automobiles were increasing in numbers at this time, when the authorities realized the needed to regulate the speed on their roads by posting speed limit signs long before the specifications for the MUTCD R2-1 existed, as these regulations came about later on in history. Speed and road signs have come a long way since that time. Since our roads have become increasingly busy over the years, the need for signs to display the speed limits is greater than ever before in history. The WHO, or World Health Organization published a report that regulating speed is a crucial element in the reduction of casualties on the roadways throughout the world. The WHO went on to estimate that 50 million people will be injured in 2004 throughout the year and that 1.2 million people would die from road accidents in that same year.
WHO also claimed that if efforts were not increased to lower these casualty figures that they would grow by 65% by the year 2020. Vehicle speed is at the heart of this issue. For this reason, you need to make sure that you purchase only high-quality, durable, speed signs or MUTCD R2-1 signs from our company and not just the cheapest ones you you find for sale today. You deserve value for your investment, and we provide it!
We start with quality raw materials to create our speed signs here at StopSignsAndMore.com. First, we use only rustproof, 5052-H38, durable aluminum that is pre-treated, according to ASTM specifications. Our technicians then clean, deoxidize and coat this aluminum with a special, chromate coating that is free from powdery residue. We only place approved fonts onto the signs to specify their speed limits, whether we are manufacturing the "SPEED LIMIT 35" signs or the "15 ZONE AHEAD" signs, or one of our other speed limit signs.

i have a problem about the definition of isolated point. In my notes, it says that a boundary point z of A may not be an accumulation point. To prove this, it says if z is an isolated point of A, then there is a ball B(z,r) such that B(z,r) intersection with A = {z} and this z is the isolated point. The only possibility i think is that if A is a discrete metrics then this situation is possible. Otherwise, that ball includes infinitely many points. Am i right here? What exactly is an isolated point? I would appreciate if someone could help. Thanks

Consider the plane as a metric space and let $K$ be the closed unit disk along with the point $(0,2)$. Then $(0,2)$ is an isolated point of $K$. This is so because there is an $r > 0$ so that $$B_r((0,2))\cap K = \{(0,2)\}.$$
It seems to me that the result your interested in is the following. Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space and $x \in X$. Then $x$ is an isolated point of $X$ if and only if there exists some $\varepsilon>0$ such that for every $y \in X\setminus\{x\}$ we have $d(x,y)>\varepsilon$. Proving this is mostly just moving definitions around.
Definition of isolated point: Let $X$ be a metric speac, $x$ is an isolated point of $S\subset X$ if there exist an $\epsilon >0$ st $B_S(x,\epsilon)=\{x\} $. In another word, you can consider it as a point which has no neighborhood, just a single point. Infact it appears in lots of the metric space. One example is $\mathbb{N}$, all point of $\mathbb{N}$ are isolated points.

Is it warm outside or is it me?
Hi 21°C
It is warm outside. The National Weather Service (NWS) had predicted that today the temperature would go up to 21ºC (70ºF) and the last time I checked about an hour ago, it was reported as 21ºC.
According to the NWS summary for December 2006, the average monthly temperature in the Washington D.C. area of 44.2ºF ties it with 1994 as the 10th warmest December on record. The chart below is from the NWS.
You will notice that the 4th column gives the "normal" values. Back in November of last year, Duane at Abnormal Interests had an abnormal criticism of the use of the term "normal" to mean "average" by a local weatherperson. I agreed with Duane back then. But, it turns out that the NWS is also using the term normal in addition to average (and also mean). If I understand it correctly, they use average and mean to denote monthly values and "normal" to denote the average over a longer period (1971-2000).
So far we have had none of that white fluffy stuff that is supposed to fall down from the sky in the winter either.

Stonington - Planning and Zoning Commission member John Prue accused the town Tuesday night of employing a double standard by allowing the Handlebar Cafe to put up a new sign as part of its television show makeover without first getting a permit.
"Once again we have a business owner in town coming in on the back side and trying to clean up a mess. It's not fair to the other businesses," he said.
Meanwhile, Prue said other businesses are required to obtain a permit before they can put up a new sign, such as Olde Mistick Village Cinema did Tuesday night.
But First Selectman Ed Haberek, who is the town's acting Director of Planning, told the commission the Handlebar was a unique situation because the point of the Spike TV show "Bar Rescue" is to surprise the public with the makeover.
He said there were contractual requirements between the show and bar owner Elizabeth Mitchell regarding the secrecy of the changes.
"But that shouldn't usurp local zoning," said commission member Ben Tamsky.
Town Planner Keith Brynes said that no violation has yet been issued to the 210 S. Broad St. bar.
As part of the makeover, "Bar Rescue" painted a new, large mural on the side of Handlebar Cafe and erected a pair of large handlebars on an overhang over the front entrance. Both changes require a sign and building permit from the town.
Haberek said he expects the handlebars to be taken down and the name of the bar covered over on the mural. He said the bar is putting together an application for the mural/sign.
Prue pressed Haberek, who attended the unveiling last week, when he learned about the sign and handlebars. Haberek said he learned about them at the unveiling. He said the town told the show there were certain things it could not do, such as erect a roof sign.
Haberek, who became frustrated with the commission's questioning, said the town was just trying to help the television show, which brought good publicity to the town.
"Maybe the best thing now is for TV shows not to come to town," he said.
Haberek said he is now hearing from people that the town is trying to drive business out of town by taking actions such as this.
A team from the Spike TV show worked for five days to renovate the bar. The show and its host, Jon Taffer, help drinking establishments "transform themselves into vibrant profitable businesses."

Wanting to Cry
Sunday, April 01, 2012
I have stayed on track this week. Done all my exercises and some, tracked all my food, even though some wasn't the best choices. Stayed within or slightly under my calorie range, which is 1500-2000 roughly and never went below 1300. But still I gained 6 lbs!!!!! And it's not only the scale that's going the wrong way its my measurements too. I either stayed the same or gained in all areas. I just want to give up. I have better things I can do with my time then think about what I will eat that day and other things I can do instead of 30 minutes of exercise. I just want to be able to go to the doctor and not have them tell me I need to lose weight or go shopping and not have to try on everything because very few things look right or are in any way flattering. I want to not be known as "The Fat Girl" or "The Fat Friend" Now I'm thinking it is just not meant to be. That I will always be fat.

Everyone has given you some great info. I just want to add "Don't give up". They're right. There are several things that can be happening. When I first started, it took me just over 2 months to see my numbers begin to decrease. I thought I was going to go crazy!! For me, I do have to watch my sodium. I can gain 3-5 pounds in fluids if I eat high sodium, and "YES" I had to increase my exercise just a bit to see a difference.
So good luck. Don't give up on yourself.

Hi I am new to the team but I would like to tell you not to get discouraged. Trust me keep your faith, stay focused and stay positive no matter what. I was 254 lbs and I felt tired all the time, depressed because of my weight ( I am short). I felt like no matter what I did it just wasn't good enough. But I stayed focused, determined and I stayed with a positive attitude even when it seemed as if I was gaining more weight than I was losing. When I gained weight I just worked harder and changed my meals around. It paid off; I am now 119 lbs. Take it from me, you are not alone. We are all here to support you through your journey.

Don't be hard on yourself and don't get discouraged. The comments before mine really have some great explainations as to what may be going on. These 'setbacks' make us stronger when we push through them. Just stick with it and you'll be glad you did.

Okay if you gained six pounds in a week while eating the way you describe either it's water weight (which would cause bloat) or there's an underlying problem. There is no way you've gained six pounds of fat.
I gained six pounds in a week once, and (as I suspected) it was just water and it was gone in two or three days. It happens a lot to women during certain times of the month and it can happen to anyone if you eat too much salt or something.
Keep at it! It will come off if you're consistent.

Aww, hang in there... Ya know it could be a couple of factors. Ok I'm not a Doctor but it's been my experience and other women I know can retain fluid too. Although you may be working hard to lose, sodium is a sneaky saboteur, I especially have to watch out when eating out at Chinese restaurants. Of course us ladies have issues with retaining fluid during our monthly cycle too... so it's like a double whammy. But if you are working out a lot and have water weight gain and building muscle six pounds could very well make sense. I usually can tell when I am retaining extra fluid and I steer clear of my scale on "those days" because why put yourself through the added aggravation. I keep hydrated and add a grapefruit here and there because they are a natural diuretic. Please above all don't give up! You are worth it, you can do this!

> Cadence Unveils its Latest Encounter RTL-to-GDSII Flow
Cadence Unveils its Latest Encounter RTL-to-GDSII Flow
Cadence has
new technologies and capabilities in its Encounter digital flow, spanning design through implementation and signoff. These latest enhancements enable high-performance, giga-scale, and 20nm designs.
High-performance design
Cadence has worked with leading IP partners to provide the industry's best PPA (power, performance, area) on embedded, high-performance processor designs.
The new GigaOpt engine, critical for RTL-to-GDSII core optimization, integrates physical-aware synthesis with physical optimization, enabling faster timing closure and better correlated results. It provides better quality of results (QoR) with a 30% full-flow runtime speed-up for design closure. Enhanced physical synthesis capability enables better QoR and a more convergent RTL-to-GDSII methodology with added support for custom-crafting structured data paths, which takes advantage of regularity to reduce wire length and congestion while boosting performance. New Clock Concurrent Optimization (CCOpt) technology unifies clock tree synthesis with physical optimization, resulting in design performance and total power improvements of 10%, and a 30% reduction in clock tree area.
Giga-scale design
The rapid increase in logic instance count in today's designs makes design prototyping and implementation a challenge due to additional complexities and runtime limitations. Cadence has introduced the unique patent-pending GigaFlex technology that enables orders of magnitude compression of the design netlist while still retaining area, congestion, and timing accuracy.
New GigaFlex technology handles giga-scale design of 100M instances or more. Designers can now achieve full-chip design prototyping goals in just 10% of the original time required, and they can uncover potential issues earlier in the design flow to produce the most optimal floorplan. Concurrent top- and block-level hierarchical implementation reduces iterations and total design cycle time for giga-scale designs. Automated functional ECO solutions leverage formal technologies to accelerate pre- and post-mask ECOs, which are reduced to mere hours or days through smart hierarchical design handling. New multi-mode/multi-corner timing and signal integrity (SI) signoff-driven ECO technology leverages a multi-CPU backplane to provide fully automated, physical-aware timing ECOs at the full-chip level.
New Encounter Test SmartScan technology enables ultra-low pin-count compression architecture support for multi-core SoC designs. New automation simplifies the design-for-test processes needed for effective logic built-in self-test (LBIST). The introduction of new automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) algorithms that are parallel and scalable enable design teams to harness multi-processor compute solutions to significantly reduce runtimes and generate test patterns that do not exceed power consumption targets during manufacturing test.
20nm design
Cadence has been working very closely with all the key foundries and IDMs to offer a unique correct-by-construction, 20nm design, implementation, and signoff methodology with double-patterning technology support. It covers RTL synthesis, floorplanning and placement, routing, signoff timing, power analysis, test, and physical verification, and provides a fast path to 20nm design closure.
FlexColor, the correct-by-construction double-patterning implementation engine, allows metal shapes in the design to be color-assigned in real time, enabling more flexible implementation of a double-patterning–correct design. This ultimately improves die area efficiency—and enables more effective ECOs—of 20nm double-patterning designs. The Cadence 20nm RTL-to-GDSII methodology has been validated across multiple design styles and tapeouts, with strong support from foundry and IP ecosystem partners.
"We used a number of Cadence tools during the development of the A7L, including RTL Compiler, Conformal LEC, EDI System, Encounter Timing System, and Encounter Power System. The unified digital flow proved robust at 32nm, and despite the fact that this was a very complex design, we achieved first time success."
Chris Day, VP of Marketing and Business Development at Ambarella
"Cadence allowed us to embed some of our key needs and features into their IC design and analysis tools, like Encounter Timing System, enabling us to perform advanced timing system analysis, with unique timing capabilities. Ultimately, this allowed us to deliver the most advanced, sophisticated pace-maker product on the market today."
David Genzer, Director of IC Design Development at BIOTRONIK
"One of the benefits that we found at Biotronik is that Cadence provides seamless interfaces between Encounter tools. Encounter Timing System, QRC Extraction, and Conformal verification all utilize common files … simplifying usability and speeding up the design cycle tremendously. Today, Cadence is the only vendor that can deliver all this to us in one product."
David Genzer, Director of IC Design Development at BIOTRONIK
"We have worked with Cadence over the last 5 years to tape out more than 100 low-power designs… to solve low-power challenges from a methodology point of view instead of relying on point tools. We feel confident working with Cadence to bring in more silicon success as well as meet our design specs and time-to-market goals."
Alex Kuo, Senior Design Manager at Global Unichip Corp.
"Cadence provides a powerful and interoperable digital and analog co-design environment for mixed-signal designs, from design capture to verification, physical implementation, full-chip level integration, extraction and signoff... providing mutual customers with a more cost-effective solution for a quick and accurate design cycle and fast time to market."
Robert Milkovits, Director of Customer Design Support at TowerJazz
"Using the Cadence mixed-signal solution enabled us to accelerate our design time by 10x compared to the design of a previous chip built in 65 nanometers… we were amazed how much time was saved."
Rolf Becker, Development Manager at STE
"Ultra low power is the primary focus in the development of the MSP430 micro controller family. We continuously strive to reduce the active and leakage power to enhance the overall system energy efficiency."
"We recently implemented a design with multi-vt technology, multi-vdd and power-gated partitioning. Using the EDI System Low Power Design Methodology and CPF driven design
flow, remarkable power savings and overall area reduction have been achieved."
Adi Baumann, IC Design Manager at Texas Instruments.
"Imec is currently implementing a 4G baseband processor, targeting both existing and emerging WLAN as 3GPP-LTE modes, in an advanced CMOS process. The key to achieving
a flexible, high performance, small die size and low power implementation, is our innovative architecture combined with an advanced digital implementation flow capable of tackling our design challenges."
"Using the Cadence CPF enabled flow results in a high performance and low power design.
In addition, the design iterations are reduced significantly through the advanced timing closure in the EDI System physical implementation flow. We achieve all our design objectives with a
faster time to market."
Dejonghe Antoine, Program Manager Reconfigurable Radio Baseband of imec
"We have used the Cadence Encounter Test MBIST solution to self-test 104 memories on our most recent BOA project tape out - a 4G Baseband 40nm design - and were very satisfied with the results. We have received excellent support from Cadence and the Encounter Test team throughout the duration of this project. Now, we are in the process of getting the MBIST integrated into our full design flow."
Jagadeesa Das Arul Mahesh, R&D ASIC Design Engineer at imec
"At Marvell, we have an optimized advanced low power methodology that supports complex power domains in our designs. We use Cadence's CPF-driven automatic solution from synthesis, implementation to verification on many of our low power tapeouts, and have
achieved significant power savings and design schedule acceleration because of that."

Soon it will be one-year since I left New York City and the traditional business world where I worked 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Monday thru Friday for the fortune 500 company, Ecolab. It was time for me to move on as I had gotten married and my husband and I were building a house in Arizona. What was ahead of me was a quiet thrill. In life we go through stages and cycles and when doors of different colors appear and the door knob turns easily it is a good thing to go through it.
Ecolab and I found each other in 2007. I was hired to support the managers in the field in the New York Area. District Managers, Territory Managers, Sales Specialist Managers, the Area Vice President, the office manager and any visitor from any other Ecolab port in the world, and even other administrative support associates. When I walked through the door in February of 2007 it was a dream job in many ways. From day one the benefits started, I was given my own office with phone, computer, fax and printing capabilities. I was taught the Ecolab way from a manual and from my associates…Ecolab has its special formula for a lot of things, but the bottom line for this company was the numbers. At first it was an adjustment for my radical not-for-profit self with a strong background in journalism…and human services, but it was also a journey to learn about systems, corporate hierarchy, different personalities and the way teams work: That while making money they also made kindness and good relations … internally and externally.
By watching and listening to the Ecolab managers, and learning about their lives and families and how they related to their customers, I started to see a model in business for a healthy relating style. It was strong, committed, caring and determined to get the job done; and that the word from the person who showed up at the job it was their bond and they would deliver product, programs and machines to the best of their ability.
The six years I spent at the office on Broadway in New York City went fast. The daytime family was traditional and clear on their objectives…a group of mostly men…going into the city bucking nasty traffic and meter maids and tickets that consumed them and challenged the company to come up with alternate guidelines so the money wasn't sucked into the NYC traffic department. The men or "the guys" also plodded away with maintaining the customer, and finding new ones. They blitzed in teams until the special blitzing events threw them into friendly competition and more money. Ask them for more and they will do it. When the customer needed an installation over the weekend or into the night and wee hours of the morning…Ecolab managers did it.
April 12th will be one-year of departure for me since I walked out the double-door on the 18th floor soon to forget the code to get inside the suite of offices. To forget the daily grind of rising in the morning to be part of the Ecolab wheel…a spoke in the cog…but turning a different wheel in the doorknob in this adventure of life. Then occasionally I turn around and look back and remember Ecolab on the 18th floor in New York City and that it was so much more than a double wooden door and a large corporate money making and customer satisfying business. Ecolab is its people. The workers, the guys who work until the ties they are required to wear are spinning to the side of their collar. The fine hairs on their heads flipping forward from sweat during installs and it is the kind hearted souls that bring the meat home for their families…everyday…for years and years.
I may have left you, my Ecolab teachers, but inside you will always be a door I will remember that walking through was a gift that will live inside of me forever.
