Players can spend a lot of time chopping trees, quarrying rocks and planting grapes in CastleVille, all in the name of helping a princess build her home. When they run out of the energy needed for such tasks (given out as energy points, which are tracked on an on-screen bar), they have lots of ways of getting more juice—ways that, usually, will cost them more money, or, in some cases, test their friends' patience. (Players can ask Facebook users for help in gaining more energy.)
But despite the time users invest in CastleVille, Zynga's latest runaway hit game, participants can play for a while without seeing much in the way of advertising. To date, Zynga's ads mostly have been limited to virtual in-game product placements (e.g., a virtual McDonald's), direct response-oriented banners and offers to receive energy boosts in exchange for cash ("Get 32 Crowns and 10 Facebook Credits for only $1!").
That's been fine, since Zynga's been making a killing on selling virtual goods to a small slice of its most engaged players. But with the growth of that business slowing down, Zynga, in some ways an industry holdout in the realm of advertising, is about to get serious about ads by scaling its business through incentivized advertising.
"My perspective is, if you look at the early days of casual game advertising, it was bad," says Zynga CEO Mark Pincus. "Bad for gamers, bad for advertisers. You saw people trying to squeeze the pay-per-click model into games. You want to play the game, not buy a hotel room.
"We built our entire business model around engagement," he continues. "Now advertising is the fastest growing part of our business. At the end of the day, we're in the middle of really an amazing, magical secular shift to free gaming. We think it very quickly surpasses TV as the next major worldwide free consumer medium. And we want this to be free, free as possible. We want to scale this as a mass-market free medium, and engagement ads are just a great way to fill that massive void."
The risk for Zynga is clear: Known for its emphasis on user experience, can the lure of brands offering, say, free energy, keep players from turning their backs on the games they love? Equally important: Is Zynga going far enough?
"We're at a tipping point," says Zynga chief marketing and revenue officer Jeff Karp. "We have a huge opportunity. We've done solid numbers, but there's a ton of potential" to do more.
According to its recent earnings report, last year the newly public Zynga earned $75 million in ad revenue, up 225 percent versus 2010—numbers that were far more solid than some expected. But Zynga's revenue projections for 2012 have already disappointed Wall Street. Also, for years industry experts have estimated that just 1 to 5 percent of Zynga's players actually pay for virtual goods—those special shovels that help players complete tasks faster on Treasure Isle, or super-powered hoes that hasten the tending of crops in FarmVille. Most Zynga gamers are cheapskates, meaning that the company hardly monetizes them, despite their huge numbers (240 million active players).
Add in the news that social game growth is slowing down, and it's not hard to see why the (overheated) headlines predicting Zynga's demise have already begun. "Why Zynga Will Never Be Great Again," wrote The Motley Fool last month. Similarly, GigaOm asked the question, "Is the honeymoon over for Facebook gaming?"
"The age of just blasting social games is over," says Tim Chang, managing director, Mayfield Fund, which invests in mobile and ad technology. "Monetizing just 1 percent of the general audience is burned out. The entire [social gaming marketplace] is shifting toward the mid-core."
Clearly, Zynga, whose Facebook hits include FarmVille, CityVille, Zynga Poker and Mafia Wars, has never made advertising its top priority. Until recently, the company has had only one sales executive, Manny Anekal, who just jumped ship to join the mobile ad startup Kiip. In fact, Zynga has long outsourced much of its ad sales operations and technology, previously working with the likes of appssavvy (the ties have since been severed), SocialVibe and Burstly, as well as supply-side platform companies like PubMatic and The Rubicon Project.
And while Pincus is a regular at Silicon Valley events like Web 2.0, you don't see him and his team blanketing Advertising Week or Interactive Advertising Bureau events. It's safe to say that Zynga doesn't have the top digital media agencies on speed dial like Yahoo, or even Facebook, does.
"Right now they are just scratching the surface," says Brandon Berger, chief digital officer at Ogilvy & Mather.
Adam Shlachter, managing director, digital, MEC, says that Zynga is still not a big consideration for many of his clients. "Since they have a diversified revenue stream, with much of it coming through credits and commerce, advertising [still] doesn't seem as critical to their business today," he notes. "I think part of that is due to how they are, or are not, selling. … And the price tag is steeper and opportunities more complex than your average digital ad buy."
To date, advertising on Zynga has mostly been about big hits, i.e., brand integrations like that virtual McDonald's or a virtual Best Buy. Matt Story, vp, director of Publicis' Denuo, says such properties are very attractive to marketers. "You can't argue about the size of the audience," he says. "And consumers don't seem opposed to their ads."
DreamWorks has discovered the same thing, teaming up with Zynga in 2010 on a custom execution for the animated movie Megamind in FarmVille that led 10 million players to visit the film's farm and enticed 6 million to share the content. Last year, the two companies partnered on Kung Fu Panda 2 with a branded movie drive-in on CityVille that attracted 45 million gamers.
But such properties are both complicated and time-consuming to create. "It does provide certain creative challenges," says Jason Alex, head of online marketing, DreamWorks Animation. "But we really created that 'aha' factor."

In a motion (PDF) released on Aug. 11, 2014, the defense in the James Holmes Aurora Theater attack announced that they have exhausted their investigation into the Law Enforcement officials who gave some details to Fox News reporter Jana Winter about a notebook that James Holmes sent to his psychiatrist Lynne Fenton.
The defense could not find out who violated the gag order so they requested certain sanctions be made against the prosecution.
The defense suggested that since they believe one or more of the officers questioned are lying, that all the officers who testified they did not leak the notebook details be barred from testifying in the trial. There is no evidence that any of those officers were the leak and it was probably campus police officers who saw the notebook from a distance via security camera. Any officer in the room or had read a report would have mentioned the burned money.
The defense also requested a special prosecutor or possible the Colorado grand jury investigate the officers. An investigation of this matter would take a long time and delay the trial.
Another suggestion and what defense is probably really after is the state taking the death penalty off the table. The prosecution has kept the death penalty on the table only to get James Holmes to talk. If the prosecution isn't satisfied by James Holmes' second mental examination, then the prosecution would fight this sanction and delay the trial.
Since the notebook is already going to be entered into evidence because as of now James Holmes is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity, the judge would probably (if he does anything) bar the officers who testified. He however will probably rule to not impose any sanctions as he has done in the past.

Senior Shine Huwe homered and Bobbi Langlois pitched out of a late jam to send Hampton past Norfolk State, 7-3, in the deciding game of the MEAC softball championship at Ormond Beach Complex Saturday.
It was the first softball championship for the Lady Pirates (34-24) since 1996.
The Lady Spartans (31-22) forced the winner-take-all match-up by shellacking Hampton, 10-3, earlier in the day.
In the deciding game, Hampton jumped on NSU starter Jamie Schulle (21-13) in the first inning when Nina Ferguson laced a single down the line to score Bianca Vallejo and Margaret Wilkins. Taylor McCoy later scored on a fielder's choice to give Hampton a 3-0 lead.
Norfolk State did not get on the board until the fourth inning when Kathy Cortez crossed home plate on a fielding error by Wilkins.
Huwe got that run back, however, in the bottom of the inning with her fourth homer of the year, this one a solo shot to center field on a 3-1 pitch.
Later in the inning, Diamond Ponds scored on Schulle's throwing error. McCoy singled in Vallejo to make it 6-1 Hampton.
Shine added an RBI single in the fifth inning for the Lady Pirates' final run.
Norfolk State put a scare into Hampton in the seventh, though. Pinch runner Shekinah Stewart scored on a fielder's choice with the bases loaded.
Gipsy Ramirez also scored, this time on Langlois' error.
The Lady Spartans managed to load the bases again, but Langlois induced Cortez to pop up to Wilkins to end the game.
Langlois went the distance in relief of Jailynn Jackson, who was a late scratch before the first pitch. She allowed three unearned runs, scattered six hits and struck out two.
Schulle gave up six runs (four earned) on nine hits before being pulled in the fourth inning for reliever Liz Riley, who allowed Shine's RBI single and nothing else.


text: Do EPA administrators recommend environmental policies that citizens want? Volume 3 Jena Economic Research Papers 2009-08-06 2009 2007 2009-057 Choice experiment environmental policy administrators citizens environmental objectives We investigate whether Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator recommendations regarding improvements in environmental quality differ from citizen preferences. The scope and significance of the possible difference are assessed by conducting identical choice experiments on a random sample of Swedish citizens and a random sample of administrators working at the Swedish EPA. The experiment concerns two environmental quality objectives: a Balanced Marine Environment and Clean Air. The EPA administrators were asked to choose the alternatives they would recommend as a policy, while the citizens were asked to act as private persons. We find that the rankings of attributes differ between the two groups and that the willingness to pay (WTP) obtained from the choices made by the administrators is higher for five out of the seven attributes, and in some cases the difference between the WTPs is not only significant but also substantial. We also asked the administrators to motivate their choices in the experiment, and the main motive was ecological sustainability. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2009-08-06T06:35:37.392Z 2010-12-17T11:54:05.018Z

Steve Addazio is spending the week finalizing the deal on his new $1.4 million home in the Needham area. Ryan Day is spending a few days with family and friends in New Hampshire. Don Brown is making the move north from Connecticut with visions of blitzes and sacks and quarterbacks on their backs in his head. Billy McGovern is adjusting to a downsized role as the Eagles linebacker coach. Chase Rettig is home in California, pondering another coaching change with perhaps a change in offensive philosophy as well. Josh Bordner is back in Maryland, wondering what a new year will bring with the coach who recruited him in charge of an offense that would seem to be ideally suited for his talents.
Yes, it is relatively quiet at Boston College this week as we move away from the disaster in so many ways that was 2012.
But by next Wednesday when all leaves and family gatherings will officially and unofficially end, the Boston College football program will be up and running–and you can use that word in so many ways–towards what Addazio, BC's new football coach, hopes will be not only a turnaround, but breakthrough season.
The numbers of 2012 don't look much better in most cases now then they did each week as BC was staggering to a 2-10 season which was filled with as many self-destructive moments as highlights of the Eagles' opponents doing their jobs.
Other than Maine and Maryland, there were relatively few happy times in the Eagles' locker room following games last season.
When new BC Director of Athletics Brad Bates took over in October he watched and evaluated the football program for 7 weeks and then made a change–firing Frank Spaziani and hiring Addazio from Temple.
Addazio proceeded to bring Day, a former BC wide receivers coach under Spaziani who was the primary recruiter of Bordner, the Eagles' 6-foot-4 inch, 221 pound back up quarterback, as his offensive coordinator. He lured Brown, a former UMass and Northeastern head coach who turned a passive UConn defensive unit into an attack force this season. He kept McGovern, the Eagles former linebacker coach and defensive coordinator, on staff for his coaching ability as well as his recruiting links in New Jersey.
The message that Addazio and his staff, who will now hit the road for the final month of recruiting, have sent out in not so subtle terms is that the Eagles could be more aggressive on defense than offense, where the key to success is running, something the Eagles did not do very well at all last season.
In fact, they were horrible, combining for barely 1000 yards as a TEAM, with Andre Williams leading the way in a ground attack with 584 of BC's 1086 yards.
Conversely, Rettig, carrying most of the burden of the offense and a more wide open style under new offensive Coordinator Doug Martin (Rettig's fourth in 3 years), threw for a career high of 3055 yards. But in 467 attempts,Rettig threw for a relatively average total of 17 TD passes.
In comparison, West Virginia's Geno Smith had 490 attempts this season and threw for 4004 yards and 40 TD passes. Syracuse's Ryan Nassib had 448 attempts for 3619 yards and 24 TD passes.
One of Rettig's harshest self criticisms this season was an inability of BC's offense to convert red zone opportunities into points.
Rettig is in a tough place. So is Addazio and Day, whose offensive philosophy is in more in line with Bordner's profile as a QB who can run AND pass as opposed to Rettig who uses the run as a means of escape.
Adding to the dilemma for the coaches and for Rettig is the lack of both depth and quality in the BC running backs. Count on Day and Addazio to have an offensive bent to the remainder of their recruiting season, with an emphasis on getting running backs into the system as well as quarterbacks who fit the style of offense that Addazio wants.
Rettig is too far down the road in his academic career at BC to give up the value of a BC degree by bailing out now and it would require sitting out a year and bailing out on his teammates. Rettig is not that type of person.
If he somehow redshirted next season and stayed at BC, he could get his degree by next January with accelerated class schedule and then have one year of eligibility left to play at whatever school wanted him. Call it a graduate study in NFL football, something that Seattle Seahawks' QB Russell Wilson parlayed into gold when he graduated from NC State with a year of eligibility remaining, transferred to Wisconsin, where he took the Badgers to the Rose Bowl. Wilson is now the starting QB for the Seahawks as a rookie and may very well take Seattle to the Super Bowl.
No matter what decision is made, it figures to be an interesting spring football session for BC as Addazio and the Eagles get acquainted with each other.
Christmas is over, and recess for BC soon will be.

|Five Vandals win on day one
LAS VEGAS - The Idaho men's tennis team had a successful first day at the ITA Mountain Regional Championships, as five of eight players advanced in the main singles draw, and two of four doubles teams advanced in the doubles draw.
Abid Akbar, seeded 13th in the singles draw, won his first two matches to advance to the round of 16, where he will face Denver's Jens Vorkefeld, the No. 7 seed in the tournament, on Friday. In doubles play, Akbar teamed up with Marius Cirstea, and the 9th seeded duo won its round of 32 doubles to advance to Friday's round of 16.
"Abid has been very impressive," Idaho coach Jeff Beaman said. "Being a highly seeded player in both singles and doubles, he is living up to his seeding."
Also in doubles play, Jose Bendeck and Cesar Torres won their first two doubles matches to reach the round of 16.
In other singles action, Torres, Cirstea, Matt Oddonetto and Jake Knox each won their opening round match before falling on the opening day.
"It's been a good run with a lot of guys progressing in a very tough draw," Beaman said.
The tournament continues Friday and runs through Oct. 21.

Contrary to what you may have been led to believe, learning Rails from scratch can be challenging.
The framework and surrounding ecosystem have evolved so much that the experience of getting started now in 2012 is far more daunting than the one we early adopters encountered back in 2004 or 2005. Yes, things are more polished in many regards, but there are also so many more choices to be made.
What login library among the many options available should you go with? What testing framework should you use? What application server? These are just a few of the questions a beginner may ask. To complicate things further, not all gems and plugins that were in vogue earlier on have been maintained over the years.
When mentoring people who are new to Rails, I've had a lot of success with the Rails Tutorial (the PDF and screencasts) by Michael Hartl. My interns at IBM have absolutely loved it and have always been able to make major progress as far as their Rails knowledge goes in a matter of weeks.
I've shared my enthusiasm for this guide before, as it gets your feet wet right away thanks to its highly practical, example-based approach that doesn't skimp too on much the "why" aspect of things. (It's great when used in association with the official guides.)
I particularly like how it dictates making sensible choices and then guides the reader (or viewer) through the process of setting everything up, including the use of popular external services such as Github, Heroku, etc.
Well, the exciting news today is that Michael just released a second edition and it's even better the first one. The new features include:
Based on my experience with mentoring and teaching Rails, I wholeheartedly recommend this tutorial to anyone who is just starting out or who hasn't touched Rails in a while and needs a refresher. (Many things, such as the asset pipeline, have changed and affect day-to-day coding and deployment.)
Michael was kind enough to provide me with a coupon (ac25) just for my readers, which offers you a 25% discount until the end of April. If you plan to take advantage of this resource, grab it now and use ac25 at the checkout. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: The link to the tutorial contains my referral id. This doesn't affect my genuine and very positive opinion of this great course.

In this video, I talk about the Afterburn Effect. This is a key concept in our program that we talk about a lot, so it's very important that you understand what you mean by this.
The scientific term for the Afterburn Effect is Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption, or EPOC. It's very important to know about, because burning calories during your workout is not the only way to burn calories and fat through exercising. You also burn calories for up to 48 hours AFTER your workout is over.
It is important to learn how to maximize your EPOC (Afterburn) from your workouts if you want to get a ripped body and six pack abs. There are many ways that you can change your workouts up to maximize Afterburn, but here are just a few:
** Use heavy compound lifts for the bulk of your workout, avoid excessive isolation or machine work
** Avoid long slow cardio -- the EPOC from this has been proved to be minimal. Instead, do short, very high intensity cardio to maximize EPOC and to make your workouts shorter and more efficient.
** Eat 5 Zero Willpower meals per day, so that your body has the fuel to sustain intense workouts. Remember...you need to work out at a very high intensity to maximize Afterburn. You need to have your diet on point, so that you can do these workouts while still eating few enough calories to lose fat.
The idea is simple: MAXIMIZE your body's need to recover after your workouts. The more your body needs to recover, the more calories will be burned during recovery. And realize that the calories burned directly through a workout are only ONE PART of the picture. You also have to take into account the demand for recovery the workout creates, and the calories burned through EPOC.
There is a large amount of scientific literature proving the existence of the Afterburn Effect (EPOC). If you are a fitness geek like me I definitely encourage you to check out the studies for yourself. It will really change the way that you think about working out, and you'll realize Afterburn is a very important factor to consider when evaluating a workout

The Fig Tree Parables
Tiger Wylde
There's always more to the story than we know. And that is true of the bible too.
Take a look at what might have been through the eyes of young Lena March, a spirited girl with "a little too much lip."
Lena takes issue with the story of Jesus killing a fig tree in the gospels and decides he is a "cold-hearted son of a gun" until her pastor helps her and her Sunday school class see things in a different light.

Can I or my
students do some astronomical observations?
Yes of course. With
naked eyes, binoculars or low power telescope on can do exercises in
crater timing and estimating the eclipse darkness on Danjon scale.
Please visit NASA web site by Fred Espenak
Danjon Scale and
Crater timings.
The map below shows the timings for the shadow to
cover and to leave different craters.
quick note on Danjon scale
The French astronomer Andre-Louis Danjon proposed a useful five
point scale for evaluating the visual appearance and brightness of the
Moon during total lunar eclipses. 'L' values for various luminosities
are defined as follows:
L = 0 Very dark eclipse.
Moon almost invisible, especially at mid-totality.
L = 1 Dark Eclipse, gray or brownish in coloration.
Details distinguishable only with difficulty.
L = 2 Deep red or rust-colored eclipse.
Very dark central shadow, while outer edge of umbra
is relatively bright.
L = 3 Brick-red eclipse.
Umbral shadow usually has a bright or yellow rim.
L = 4 Very bright copper-red or orange eclipse.
Umbral shadow has a bluish, very bright rim.
The assignment of an
'L' value to lunar eclipses is best done with the naked eye, binoculars
or a small telescope near the time of mid-totality.

Dinner for Schmucks Movie Reviews
Dinner for Schmucks
Release Date: Jul 30, 2010
Genre: Comedy
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on Dinner for Schmucks
The theme of Dinner for Schmucks deals with how we treat people who have different talents than the rest of "society." Steve Carrell's character makes us realize that the only Schmucks were the people giving the dinner who felt it was fun to humilate others not like them. Paul Rudd plays his best role since "O" as in Ohio.
I'm never a huge fan of remakes of foreign films. They always seem to lose the edge that the original had. Luckily, Dinner For Schmucks (which initially surprised me for having a word in the title my nana would have smacked me for saying when I was younger) takes the French original and gives it its own twist.
Paul Rudd plays Tim, an ambitious analyst given the opportunity to move up at his firm by bringing a complete idiot to a monthly dinner of complete idiots. Tim is morally opposed (at least his girlfriend is), until he meets Steve Carrel's Barry, a giant doofus who creates dioramas with dead mice. Barry creates havoc for Tim until the dinner of the title, where the fun really begins.
This could have gone really wrong. We're supposed to laugh at a this idiot that we're also supposed to cheer for. Director Jay Roach knew this, and wisely made Carrell his leading man. Carrell has a way of playing on multiple levels, so just as we think he's a dope, he also makes his character so oblivious that we actually root for him to show up the supposed non-schmucks. It also helps that the dinner scene is absolutely insane. Props also to Zach Galifianakis, who continues his streak as the funniest thing in any movie he appears in.

Members of a working men's club which won a lengthy legal battle to buy their clubhouse four years ago will find out on Sunday about the progress on the purchase.
Trustees of Ward Green WMC, off Mount Vernon Road, took Sam Smith's Brewery to court in 2002 after the brewery sold the building to a subsidiary in contravention of an agreement that members could buy the club.
In June 2008 the House of Lords ruled in the club members' favour and said Sam Smiths could not appeal that decision.
But four years on the sale still hasn't gone through.
The emergency meeting has been called on Sunday, and secretary Steven Szocs said it was to update members on the situation.
Steven said: "Members are exercising, after their fantastic and historical victory, their right to buy the club.
"The meeting is to inform members we have had positive meetings with a view to funding the process.
"I want to make it clear the club is not closing. That is not the case and that is not what the meeting is about.
"There are a lot of people that have been coming here for a long time and they are passionate, as are we."
The legal battle with the brewery, costing £35,000, centred around claims the club enjoyed a right to buy the clubhouse under the contract terms of its initial 1958 tenancy.
In May 2002, they gave notice to Samuel Smith's exercising the option, six months before the tenancy was due to expire.
But in December 2002, the brewery sold the clubhouse to its subsidiary, Rochdale and Manor (Builders) for just £7,996.
The trustees had the building valued at £120,000.

Big on size, Best in long calculationIt has big (yeah bigger key than your keyboard or say if you can recall TVS keyboard switches). I ordered without paying any attention to size and was impressed with layout and colours but when I received this calculator, I was total wrong with my expectation. Though it is real big and bigger than my apple keyboard, but my office people loves it and it is executed very well for longer calculations.

College Hockey:UNO Extends Unbeaten Streak to Nine with Tie
OMAHA, Neb. — Phil Angell connected on a slap shot from the right point with 2:02 left in regulation to lift No. 13 Nebraska-Omaha to a 4-4 tie with No. 8 Michigan in front of a season-high 8,152 fans at the Civic Auditorium Saturday night.
UNO (18-11-5, 12-9-5 CCHA) holds the nation's longest unbeaten streak of nine games (6-0-3), which also ties a school record. Michigan moved its record to 18-12-4 and 13-9-4 in the CCHA.
The Wolverines jumped out to 2-0 lead on goals by Chad Kolarik and Andrew Ebbett in the first period before the Mavs answered with Brandon Scero's power-play tally late in the frame.
UNO tied the game at 2-2 on Bill Thomas' 24th goal of the year at 3:50 of the second period. Michigan would build another two-goal lead in the second stanza on goals by T.J. Hensick and Travis Turnbull, which came four minutes apart.

Take a bunch of insanely talented smooth jazz artists, their devoted fans, and put them on a cruise ship for eight days sailing to the Caribbean. Yes, please.
The Smooth Jazz Cruise — now in its 12th year with 17 sailings — is one of the most popular ways to party at sea. Not only do guests enjoy all the amenities Holland America has to offer — food, drinks, swimming pools, spas, ever-changing views — but they also get to mingle with their favorite smooth jazz artists. These aren't your run-of-the-mill musicians, either. They're huge names in the industry.
In past cruises, fans have partied with George Benson, Mindi Abair, Gerald Albright, Tower of Power, and Keiko Matsui. Many of these artists have returned time and time again, too.
The January 11-18 sail is already sold out. Now's the time to book a veranda or outside cabin (203 left) for the March 1-8 sail out of Ft. Lauderdale to Nassau, St. Thomas, St. Croix, and Half Moon Cay.
The lineup includes special guest Natalie Cole; music hosts Marcus Miller, David Sanborn, and Boney James; special event hosts Candy Dulfer and Brian Culbertson; artists Rick Braun, Jonathan Butler, Joe Sample, Peter White, and DW3; featured performers Marc Antoine, Chance Howard, Grace Kelly, Eric Marienthal, Michael "Patches" Stewart, Tom Braxton, and Elan Trotman.
Not a weak link in the bunch. Quite a few are Grammy winners, several times over. The daughter of the great 1950s crooner, Natalie Cole set the gold standard, crossing every musical boundary with a string of her own hits since the 1970s.
Marcus Miller is quite possibly one of the best electric bassists out there, and one of the last to collaborate with Miles Davis on the album Tutu.
David Sanborn survived polio at three years of age to become one of the most well-known jazz saxophonists around, amassing six Grammys, eight gold records, and a platinum album.
Boney James reinvigorated the smooth jazz genre with an infusion of contemporary, genre-crossing and edgy young artists, most notably on his latest album, The Beat — with R&B singer Raheem DeVaughn and spoken word performer The Floacist.
Every night is a dance party. Call (888) 852-9987 for more info.

EUGENE, Ore. -- More than three dozen current and former University of Oregon track and field athletes will be competing at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials that begin Thursday with the men's and women's hammer competitions at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Ore., and then continue Friday though July 1 at Historic Hayward Field.
Among the alums are Olympians Galen Rupp and Andrew Wheating and 2011 USA Champion Ashton Eaton, while NCAA Champions English Gardner and Jordan Hasay highlight the current Ducks.
HAMMER THROW (June 21)
Two Oregon graduates will open the Trials for the Ducks at the hammer in Beaverton, Britney Henry for the women and Brian Richotte for the men. Henry was a two-time hammer All-American (2006-07), while Richotte was the 2007 Pac-10 hammer champ.
DAY 1 (June 22)
Eaton, the 2011 American decathlon champion and a five-time NCAA champion leads off the competition in TrackTown USA when the decathlon gets underway Friday at 1 p.m. He'll be joined by current Duck freshman Dakotah Keys.
Also on Friday, Gardner, a sophomore and the 2012 NCAA 100 meter and indoor 60 meter champion, begins competition in the first round of the women's 100 meters. Sophomore NCAA outdoor runner-up Mike Berry will race in the opening round of the men's 400 meters, while sophomore Phyllis Francis and former Duck Keshia Baker will follow in the women's 400 first round.
The full day of preliminary races continues with junior Elijah Greer entered in the first race of the men's 800, along with alums Andrew Wheating and Travis Thompson. Sophomore Laura Roesler is in the women's 800.
In the field, a pair of NCAA champion alums will go in the qualifying round of the women's pole vault. Becky Holliday was the 2003 champ, while current volunteer assistant coach Melissa Gergel won the crown in 2011.
Day one ends with Rupp, the defending American champion, and two former teammates, current senior Luke Puskedra and alum Carlos Trujillo in the men's 10,000. Trujillo was the surprise Pac-10 10K champion in 2008.
DAY 2 (June 23)
The featured event on Day 2 will be the conclusion of the decathlon for Keys and Eaton, where Eaton could be poised to break a number of records.
The women's 100 meter semifinals and finals are on Saturday for Gardner.
There are also semifinals in the men's and women's 400 for Berry, Francis and Baker.
The 800s also heat up with semifinal heats in the evening for Greer, Wheating, Thompson and Roesler.
In the field, the men's javelin is a Duck-heavy event, with 2012 Pac-12 champion Sam Crouser, a freshman, joined by alums Cyrus Hostetler, Ryan Brandel and Alex Wolff. Hostetler was the 2009-10 Pac-10 champion and still holds the league record (272-10), while Brandel was the 2007 Pac-10 winner.
Duck senior Lauryn Newson is in the qualifying rounds of the women's triple jump, while alum Justin Frick is in the men's high jump qualifying.
DAY 3 (June 24)
A day of all finals will be big for the Ducks in the 400 meters (Berry, Francis, Baker), as well as Gergel and Holliday in the women's pole vault.
DAY 4 (June 25)
Will day four provide another signature moment in the final of the men's 800 meters? Greer, Wheating and Thompson hope to be a part of it. Monday also has the women's 800 final for Roesler, the 2012 Pac-12 champ at that distance.
The field finals will be compelling with the men's javelin for Crouser, Hostetler, Brandel and Wolff, the women's triple jump for Newson and the men's high jump for Frick.
The distance races start up again with semifinals in the steeplechase and 5,000 meters. Watch for Rupp and current Duck sophomores Trevor Dunbar and Parker Stinson in the men's 5000, with Alex Kosinski and Hasay in the women's 5,000.
In the women's steeplechase, it will be 2012 Pac-12 runner-up and current Duck sophomore Lanie Thompson.
DAY 7 (June 28)
Following two rest days June 26-27, competition resumes with the finals of the men's 5,000 for Rupp, Dunbar and Stinson, and the women's 5,000 for Kosinski and Hasay.
Qualifying round action on June 28 in the men's 1,500 meters will be an Oregon showcase with four former Ducks - Wheating, Matthew Centrowitz, Jordan McNamara and A.J. Acosta - joining Dunbar.
Wheating was a two-time NCAA champ at 800 meters, and in 2010 pulled off the rare sweep of both the 800 and the 1,500 meters at the NCAA Championships at Hayward Field. Centrowitz followed Wheating as the NCAA 1,500 winner in 2011 and went on to take the U.S. title and finish third at the IAAF World Championships. Acosta accomplished the rare feat of scoring in the 1,500, 5,000 and steeplechase at the 2010 Pac-10 championships and was also part of Oregon's 1-2-3 sweep of the NCAA 1,500 meters that season.
The women's 1,500 qualifier finds Hasay and junior Becca Friday in the entries. Hasay, a junior, is the two-time defending Pac-12 champion in the 1,500 and won the indoor mile and 3,000 title in 2011. Friday was the 2012 Pac-12 runner-up in the 800 meters and also scored in the 1,500.
Other qualifiers on June 28 include senior Amber Purvis in the women's 200 and freshman Chancey Summers in the women's high jump.
DAY 8 (June 29)
The only final this day for the Ducks is Thompson in the women's steeplechase.
However, semifinals loom large in both the men's 1,500 (Wheating, Centrowitz, McNamara, Acosta, Dunbar) and women's 1,500 (Hasay, Friday).
There are also semis of the women's 200 meters for Purvis.
Rachel Yurkovich, the 2008-09 NCAA champion in the javelin, begins qualifying in that event on June 29.
Former Duck Jamesha Youngblood is entered in the qualifying rounds of the women's long jump. Youngblood was the Pac-10 long jump and triple jump winner in back-to-back years (2009-10).
And Pac-12 freshman 110 hurdles champion Johnathan Cabral lines up for the opening rounds in that event.
DAY 9 (June 30)
A relatively light day for the Oregon contingent.
Cabral has the semifinals and finals of the men's 110 hurdles.
The women's 200 meter final caps the day (Purvis). The women's high jump final for Summers is also June 30.
DAY 10 (July 1)
The Trials wrap with a solid day of finals.
It kicks off with Yurkovich in the women's javelin and Youngblood in the women's long jump.
And then what a Duck show it could be with Hasay and Friday in the finals of the women's 1,500 and Wheating, Centrowitz, McNamara, Acosta and Dunbar in the men's 1,500 final.

For Kat Flynt, a self taught entrepreneur, author, aesthetician, and media makeup artist, both life and business are about the beauty of being a woman and sharing the journey. Kat wasn't always an entrepreneur. Her career began as a traveling salesperson and she accidentally "fell into makeup artistry as a business". In April 1993 just a few months after her second child was born, Kat found herself feeling the need to do something for herself and decided to have glamor photos made of herself. When she arrived at the photography studio the photographer informed her that the make up artist (MUA) had not showed up and asked if she could do her own make up. When the photographer saw Kat's makeup, he asked her if she could do the make up for the other women in the studio - and he would pay her for it. Although she had only a limited selection of colors, the results were impressive so Kat was invited to do make up for this photographer one Saturday each month for the next nine years. Kat's skills improved and she developed a network of referrals.
In 2002, Kat was referred to the production studio at CNN. They wanted her to join their production team as a full time MUA, but there was a hitch. Kat needed to be a licensed cosmetologist or aesthetician. This was the first time she heard about needing to be licensed to apply make up in Georgia (a requirement that was dropped in 2006). Kat investigated the licensing programs which required her to attend nine months of classes at a cost of $10,000. During this time Kat made her living as a professional temporary office assistant. It wasn't enough money to pay for the classes but it was too much to drop and go back to school. Kat kept receiving full time offers to join the companies where she was temping. One day her husband asked her why she didn't accept an excellent job offer and she replied, "I just can't see myself in this job for the rest of my life". Then he asked the big question, "What would you do if you could do anything you wanted?" That's when she realized she loved being a makeup artist. He told her to follow her passion and get the license. Two years and $10,000 later Kat emerged from the program with a license in aesthetics and she never looked back.
Kat's clients include TV and video production companies, commercial photographers, magazines, ad agencies, wedding parties, and modeling agencies. Even as a successful makeup artist and instructor Kat does not rest on her laurels, she is continually looking into new classes to improve her skill and keep her styles current. "The makeup industry is constantly changing and is increasingly competitive. As broadcast and photographic technology evolved from black and white to high definition, the technology of makeup had to adapt." The trend from heavy makeup in the days of analog TV has reversed because of high definition. Today makeup must be imperceptible yet perfect. The bright lights and high definition cameras expose skin details in ways that the human eye does not notice under normal lighting situations.
Today it is much easier to launch a career as a makeup artist by starting out as a freelancer. In 2006 the State of Georgia dropped the requirement to have a license to apply cosmetic products that were sold over the counter to the general public. This created a new opportunity for Kat to train others how to apply makeup and she started a new venture, the Flynt Makeup Academy. Kat has recently affiliated herself with the Atlanta Institute of Aesthetics where she teaches advanced makeup skills one week each month. The Atlanta Institute of Aesthetics offers licensing programs to those wishing to expand their knowledge and career opportunities.
Kat attributes her success to her thirst for knowledge and her willingness to share. Upon graduating high school, Kat took a commission only sales job and traveled to 42 states in a little over two years time. As the youngest senior sales representative in the company, she honed her selling skills and competitive nature. Kat says that every assignment is a competition with herself, "You have to beat your own best and don't worry about how you compare to others!" Additionally, to be successful as a MUA you have to be dependable and efficient. "The client expects you to show up on time and apply flawless makeup in a timely manner. As an artist you must stay on top of new styles in makeup fashion and create a unique look appropriate for the assignment."
As Kat worked with numerous beautiful women, she discovered that although many of them were icons of beauty, they had low self esteem. She began to realize how important self confidence was both to herself and to women generally. Much of Kat's conversations with clients started to involve pumping up their self confidence. This led Kat to her newest venture writing a book and blog, The Beauty of Being a Woman. The book and her blog which contains excerpts from the book is Kat's way of sharing her journey. She is constantly learning and helping other women "be their best".

Those boots were made for walking...but just how far have they gone? You can keep tabs on that sort of thing with the new Breeze App (free). It may not be the first pedometer app available, but Breeze keeps the information straightforward and sends helpful reminders to keep you motivated and moving. You don't even have to have the app open (thereby draining your battery more quickly) for it to monitor your steps, which means you'll have an accurate step count even on days that you forget to prioritize walking.

The Missouri DOT (MoDOT) has launched an ambitious bridge rehabilitation plan to repair and replace hundreds of troubled structures by 2012.
The Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Plan has targeted 800 bridges. The goal: to find a single contractor that can design and execute the bridge upgrades, then maintain the bridges for the next 25 years.
"There are more than 10,000 bridges on Missouri's state highway system, and too many of them need work," says MoDOT director Pete Rahn. "We need to do something dramatic to get them in good shape quickly."
MoDOT's first step is to target the 800 bridges most in need of repair, then accept bids and select a winner by the summer of 2007. The cost is expected to reach up to $600 million. Visit www.modot.org

The "Dance Moms" fans aren't going to be disappointed with the upcoming reunion show carefully titled "Seeing Red." While the Candy Apples coach and Abby Lee Miller's bitter rival Cathy Nesbitt-Stein will be part of the special, it appears the title reflects just how upset everyone gets rehashing the season. According to the new sneak peek posted on Wednesday over at Lifetime there is screaming, mocking and Abby Lee Miller.
As with every reality show, the drama at the end of the season is explosive. "Dance Moms" is no exception the rule as Christi Lukasiak, mom to 12-year-old dancer Chloe, is seen storming off the set after a battle of words.
Reports from International Business Times on Wednesday reveals there will be a very cool announcement next week as well. The show has decided to do a one-hour episode with the dancers called "No Moms Allowed." It will be a special without interruption by the dance moms or Abby Lee Miller. This will offer dancing, interviews and appearances from the young dancers for the fans.
The candid remarks would be the first time that the dancers got the spotlight without the adults, it does offer up what the fans really want. Able to hear how they feel in the dance studio and on stage, it's a twist to the popular show. Plus, even though Brooke and Paige Hyland are gone, the young friends have decided to do a tribute to the former cast members and reflect on all the good times the group had together.
As the season wraps up for "Dance Moms," it is only the beginning for Abby Lee Miller. The dance instructor has a new show that is gearing up for a June debut. The new Lifetime reality show "Abby's Studio Rescue," gives dance studio owners advice on being better business owners and making their studios successful. Hoping to salvage dance studios that aren't making it in the community, the successful reality star is going to show up and offer a few pointers.

continued from The BRAIN TRAIN Family Anva-yeah Getaway Part 1
Though I was lethargic, I was restless and can't really sleep on the beachfront lounge chair, comfy as it may be. So I dragged myself to change into my swimwear and swam in the pool. While walking to and from the pool, I saw a disparate pool for babies and toddlers tucked near the main pools. I got excited for Raviv and called him and his Tatay to go swimming there.
