Here's a look at the latest must-haves from Gucci, Fresh, L'Occitane, and more.
Tom Ford
Jardin Noir, $205-$495
Tom Ford's latest fragrance collection, Jardin Noir, is the designer's first foray into floral scents. Ford took four classic flowers — rose, lily, narcissus, and hyacinth — and turned them into rich, dark scents (this is not your Valentino floral). Expect notes like black pepper, pink peppercorn, bitter orange leaf, coffee, amber, musk, and sandalwood, alongside the blossom notes.
Based on Shiseido's seven-plus years of dermal stem cell research, the technology in this anti-aging cream targets cells in their core layer to reduce the three major signs of aging: sagging, loss of resilience, and deep wrinkles. Currently the only cosmetic company using dermal stem cell research (others use epidermal stem cell technology), Shiseido created a key ingredient, Bio-Renewal Complex, which makes it easier for dermal stem cells to thrive, activating fibroblasts and improving skin's functionality.
Peter Thomas Roth
Camu Camu Vitamin C Brightening Moisturizer, $72
Formulated with the Amazonian Camu Camu berry, which has 30 times the vitamin C of an orange and is rich in bioflavanoids and other phytochnutrients, this moisturizer helps increase collagen and brighten and improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and wrinkles. Vitamin C is one of the most effective antioxidants found in skincare today; in fact, a 2009 University of Leicester study found that topical vitamin C provided statistically significant protection against aging free radicals.
Lip Spread, $28
This triple-duty lip gloss moisturizes, imparts color, and fights signs of aging with the same Swiss botanical based anti-aging complex found in vbeaute's skincare products.
Not only is this new bath and body care brand 100% USDA certified organic, but everything retails for $9.99 or less at Whole Foods. What's even more impressive is that unlike most natural/organic brands, everything in the range has an essential oil-based fragrance that won't dissipate in a matter of seconds.
June Jacobs
Anti Aging Blemish Control Spot Lotion, $42
A spa favorite, June Jacobs' latest spot treatment fights blemishes and wrinkles simultaneously, with a fast-acting paraben and preservative-free formula containing salicylic acid (for blemishes), and a variety of natural extracts (including broccoli, turmeric, tea tree, and willow bark), all of which have been proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Premiere Eau de Parfum, $87-$105
The much buzzed about new fragrance (thanks to an advertising campaign featuring Blake Lively), Gucci's latest scent is named after the brand's couture collection and it's a warm scent with notes that include smokey leather and musk. It's meant for women, but could conceivably be worn by a man.
GO SMiLE
TRULY Whitening Toothpaste System, $38
Place a drop from each of the two tubes in this new system (in place of your regular toothpaste) on your toothbrush for a whither smile thanks to a formulation packed with whitening ingredients, clinically proven to whiten better than leading toothpastes or whitening strips. Clean & Polish Luxury Toothpaste (Tube 1) has fluoride to fight cavities and Penetrate & Whiten Whitening Gel (Tube 2) has a lemony taste to freshen your breath. Clinically studies showed improvements after seven days, but it's recommended to use the duo for a month for full results.
Clinically backed (after four weeks 90% of participants showed an improvement in skin firmness around the eyes and 100% showed an improvement in skin elasticity in the chin area; after eight weeks 90% showed an improvement in overall facial volume and plumpness), this new serum is also backed with five patents.
Sugar Berry Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15, $22.50
An on-trend shade (expect deep coverage for a tint), this is the latest from Fresh's cult-favorite, completely non-sticky, sugar-based lip moisturizer.
Bonne Mere Body Wash, $34
Not only will L'Occitane's new body wash leave your skin feeling super soft, it also comes in two amazingly refreshing scents, Honey and Milk, which both have a clean, baby product-like scent that makes them work for men and women alike.
Amore Pacific
Luminous Effect Brightening Masques, $120 for six masks
Before balking at the price, note that each of these masks is trenched in the equivalent to one bottle of the brand's brightening serum. Each mask is made from a soft fiber material so they're easy to apply and the cooling sensation from the concentration of formula will work double duty to sooth puffy skin. Amore Pacific recommends leaving the mask on for 10 minutes, 1-2 times a week.
Estee Lauder
Advanced Time Zone Age Reversing Line/Wrinkle Collection, $52-$70
Estee Lauder studied 2,000 women around the world of different ages and ethnicities in a study that incorporated 32 visible aging markers to formulate their latest collection, which includes Advanced Time Zone Creme SPF 15 (for Dry Skin or Normal/Combination Skin), Hydrating Oil-Free Gel Lotion for Normal/Combination Skin, Advanced Time Zone Night for All Skintypes, and Advanced Time Zone Eye Creme for All Skintypes. Proven as effective on Caucasian women as on Asian and Black women, this is a fantastic skincare regimen with fast-acting, fast-absorbing, and clinically-backed formulations.
Sugar Berry Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15, $22.50
An on-trend shade (expect deep coverage for a tint), this is the latest from Fresh's cult-favorite, completely non-sticky, sugar-based lip moisturizer.
Lip Spread, $28
This triple-duty lip gloss moisturizes, imparts color, and fights signs of aging with the same Swiss botanical based anti-aging complex found in vbeaute's skincare products.

Me and my 19-year old daughter rented apartment #6 for one week in February. This was my first rental with Wimdu and I was a little bit nervous about what to expect.
The host, Emanuele, was excellent! Friendly, helpful and responded fast on questions or need for help, both prior and during the stay.
Location, location, location. This apartment is perfectly located on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 9th Street in a nice neighbourhood . From here it is only three blocks (5 minutes walk) before you're at the beach. One block away at Washington Ave/9th is the 7/11 or Friends Food market if you need youghurt, water or wine. It is also on Washington Ave/9th that you can jump on/off the airport bus ($2,65 one way) or bus 120 around Miami Beach.
On Washington Ave/12th St is a nice, cosy Starbucks with great Wifi, and the shopping haven Lincoln Street is only 20 minutes walk or appx 10 blocks away (remember, were are quite fast walkers.
The apartment had great Wifi and was located on 2nd floor with living room windows facing 9th street and kitchen/bathroom windows facing the parking lot which I guess was related to the apartments. In the living room was a very comfortable futon bed (sofa), but the aircondition and the street facing windows caused some noisy disturbance.
The bedroom, between the living room and the kitchen/bath room, had a queen bed where my daughter was sleeping. The bed was comfortable, but made some squeaking noise from the bottom of the two madrasses. When the AC in the living room was off, the refridgerator fan was a bit disturbing.
The kitchen had one refridgerator with top freezer, one "electrical" gas stove/oven (good) and a mix of plates and champagne and water glasses, but no wine glasses. :)
Cleanliness 4/5
If you are noise sensitive, this is not the place for you. Otherwise, I strongly recommend this apartment.
Nice little apartment in Miami Beach. 2 minutes walk to the beach and Ocean Drive, 1 minute walk to a supermarket.
Emanuele was reachable via Whatsapp and helped whenever there was something missing. He even had a free parking lot for our rental car.
Thank you! :)
Emanuele is super nice always helpful. Only recommended. The apartment is well located, central and we had everything we needed nearby.
We'll be back. Thank you
Emanuele ist super nett stets hilfsbereit. Nur zu empfehlen. Das Apartment gut gelegen, zentral und wir hatten alles was wir benötigten in der nähe.
Wir kommen wieder. Danke
Emmanuel and 'a very charged and available, the' apartment is in a very good location and convenient to south beach, close to everything. No wi-fi, I have been for my entire stay without internet. The house and 'very pretty and well placed but poor cleanliness everywhere. Value for money is not good enough expensive for what it offers, and not 'charm but a flat chip. Overall experience was quite positive.
Emanuele e' una persona molto carica e disponibile, l ' appartamento si trova in una posizione molto buona e comoda a south beach, vicino a tutto. Assenza di wi-fi, sono stato per tutto il mio soggiorno senza internet. La casa e' molto carina e disposta bene ma pulizia scarsa ovunque. Rapporto qualita'-prezzo non buono abbastanza caro per quello che offre, non e' un appartamento charm ma chip. Nel complesso esperienza abbastanza positiva.
Excellent experience with Emanuele. The handover was simple, fast and efficient. The apartment was extremely well placed. The decor is very tasteful. A very good price / quality ratio I highly recommend this apartment and the host.
Excellent expérience avec Emanuele.
La remise des clefs fut simple, rapide et efficace.
L'appartement était extrêmement bien placé. La décoration est de très bon goût. Un très bon rapport qualité /prix
Je recommande vivement cet appartement et cet hôte.
Emanuele was indeed the best host I've ever had in Miami. He was waiting for me upon arrival. He was very polite. We had no issues whatsoever and we will be staying there again as soon as we plan the next trip
i stayed with my little girl and my husband one week in this apartment.very well located ,near the beach and ocean drive.big enough and comfortable.the only thing i didn't apreciate was the cleaness.we found it a little bit dirty for our standarts.
but the rest was ok.
We spent a lovely week in the guest apartment of Emanuele.
The apartment was super find and is not far from South Beach and Ocean Drive. Emanuele was as agreed in time for the keys to the apartment. Our rental car we were able to park for free for 4 days in the parking lot in front of the apartment. (But this must be discussed with Emanuele previously because the parking lot is not always free).
The two room apartment was equipped with a bedroom with a bed and television and air conditioning, unfortunately, every now and then some sleep Disturbing air conditioning and the street noise but not too bad not suitable for us, but for people with a light sleep. The living room has a sofa-bed to sleep and a small table, even with air conditioning and a dining area with 4 chairs. The kitchen is equipped with gas stove and large fridge-freezer cubes, can make in the ma good ice. Kitchen equipment was all there, just a can opener unfortunately I could not find. The bathroom is a little small but perfectly adequate. Towels and duvet cover were present, but unfortunately a little bit of toilet paper;) We would book this apartment at any time. We can recommend a bike ride through Miami Beach, a tour of the Everglades and a trip to Key West. If you are lucky you can often see dolphins swim at the beach go by.
Wir haben eine schöne Woche in der Gästewohnung von Emanuele verbracht.
Die Wohnung war super zu finden und ist nicht weit vom South Beach und Ocean Drive entfernt. Emanuele war wie abgesprochen pünktlich zur Schlüsselübergabe bei der Wohnung. Unseren Mietwagen konnten wir für 4 Tage auf dem Parkplatz vor der Wohnung kostenlos abstellen. (Dies muss aber mit Emanuele vorher abgesprochen werden, da der Parkplatz nicht immer Frei ist).
Die zwei Raumwohnung, war mit einem Schlafzimmer mit Bett und Fernseher und Klimaanlage ausgestattet, leider sind Klimaanlage und der Strassenlärm ab und an etwas Schlafstörend, aber nicht weiter schlimm für uns, aber für Leute mit einem leichten Schlaf nicht geeignet. Im Wohnzimmer befindet sich eine Klappcouch zum Schlafen und ein kleiner Tisch, noch eine Klimaanlage und ein Essbereich mit 4 Stühlen. Die Küche ist mit Gasherd und großem Kühlschrank mit Gefrierwürfel ausgestattet, in dem ma gut Eiswürfel machen kann. Küchen Equipment war alles dort, nur ein Dosenöffner konnte ich leider nicht finden. Das Badezimmer ist zwar etwas klein aber vollkommen ausreichend. Handtücher und Bettbezug waren vorhanden, nur leider etwas wenig Klopapier ;) Wir würden diese Wohnung jederzeit wieder buchen. Empfehlen können wir eine Fahrradtour durch Miami Beach, eine Tour durch die Everglades und einen Ausflug nach Key West. Mit etwas Glück sieht man oft Delfine am Strand an sich vorbei schwimmen.
Perfect location, well cared for stay. Very close to the beach and Ocean Drive. Supermarket around the corner. Gas stove with perfect oven. As well as towels, air conditioning and laundry. Enough pots and pans. The kitchen was cleaner. The mattress in the bedroom was of poor quality. After a boot days we moved to the sofa that was perfect.
Perfecte locatie, prima verzorgd verblijf. Zeer Dichtbij het strand en de Ocean Drive. Supermarkt om de hoek. Gasfornuis met perfecte oven aanwezig. Evenals handdoeken, airco en wasgelegenheid. Voldoende potten en pannen. De keuken kon schoner. Het matras in de slaapkamer was van slechte kwaliteit. Na een laar dagen zijn we verplaats naar de slaapbank die perfect lag.

This research aims at designing and fabricating prototypes of novel micropatterned biodegradable polymeric guidance conduits seeded with Schwann cells to achieve directional peripheral nerve regeneration. The overall goals of this project are to investigate the cellular mechanisms of nerve repair. This is the only study to date that involves implantation of biodegradable polymer conduits that can provide both physical and chemical directional guidance cues to regenerating nerves at the cellular level.
Nerves severed by injury can potentially be regenerated by directing their growth using Schwann cells (which provide chemical cues by releasing nerve growth factor and enhance axonal outgrowth) and the micron scale patterns which guide nerve growth at the cellular level. This patterning enhances the probability that the neurons from the proximal end of the severed nerve meet with the ones on the distal stump, thus enabling regeneration. In vitro studies have demonstrated enhanced directional axonal outgrowth using the patterned substrates. In vivo studies are being conducted to test the efficacy of these conduits in rats.
Each year, numerous people suffer debilitating nerve injuries. Over 200,000 peripheral nerve repairs are attempted every year. Nerve injuries complicate successful rehabilitation more than any other form of trauma. Painful neuroma formation, often more disabling than its associated sensory deficits, commonly causes major disability. Improvements in the techniques of nerve repair could provide better return of protective sensibility and tactile discrimination, reduce denervation atrophy of muscles, and minimize pain syndromes. Achieving full function and organ reinnervation after peripheral nerve injury, however, is a challenge. The standard approach to repair of severe injuries is the nerve autograft, where a segment of nerve is removed from another part of the body and sutured between the unattached ends at the injury site. Disadvantages of the nerve autograft include a second surgical procedure, limited availability, and permanent denervation at the donor site. Therefore, Schwann cell-seeded guidance conduits provide an attractive potential alternative for treating peripheral nerve injuries.

moreAfter the relative intimacy of the first two volumes of In Search of Lost Time, The Guermantes Way opens up a vast, dazzling landscape of fashionable Parisian life in the late nineteenth century, as the narrator enters the brilliant, shallow world of the literary and aristocratic salons. Both a salute to and a devastating satire of a time, place, and culture, The Guermantes Way defines the great tradition of novels that follow the initiation of a young man into the ways of the world. This elegantly packaged new translation will introduce a new generation of American readers to the literary richness of Marcel Proust.

AROOSTOOK COUNTY - TAMC recently held a special dinner celebration to recognize the years of service provided by its volunteer workforce. TAMC's volunteers help the organization to provide quality customer service and care, while providing an important link to the community.
In addition to recognizing volunteers' invaluable contribution to TAMC's patients and employees, the hospital also marked a special milestone. TAMC has been celebrating 100 years of healthcare in Aroostook County this year. During this centennial year, TAMC Volunteer Services Manager Sherry Beaulieu is also celebrating 100 years of volunteer service to the organization.
"Hospital volunteering starting in our organization with Mrs. Arthur Perry, a Hospital Ladies Aide who organized the first food and tea sale in 1912," said Beaulieu. "She recruited many other community ladies and formed the first Ladies Auxiliary. People in the community have been volunteering their time and effort ever since."
TAMC's recognized its volunteers with certificates and pins for hours of service in 2011, total lifetime hours served, as well as years of service. Caroline Ballerstein and Maureen (Mo) Hull were both recognized for 22 years of service. Maureen was also recognized for achieving 5,500 lifetime hours of service.
Last year, TAMC volunteers generously dedicated 13,935 hours of volunteer service. Many of TAMC's community events, such as the fall health fair, would not be possible without involvement from volunteer staff.
Volunteers, who can range in age from teenagers to senior citizens, fill positions in a variety of clinical and non-clinical settings, including the Customer Service Desk, Gift Shop, Women and Children's Unit, Communications & Development, Educational & Innovation, Medical Library, Women's Health Center, and many more. Volunteers also play an important role in health fairs and other TAMC events.
Anyone wishing to become a TAMC volunteer is encouraged to visit the TAMC website and click on the Volunteer Services link or call 768-4032.

By Kathy M. Newbern and J.S. Fletcher
(First in a Series)
We were delighted to return to The Ritz-Carlton Charlotte recently where we got the full update on everything new since our last visit a couple of years back.
For instance we stopped by Bar Cocoa, a tempting space off from the popular lobby bar with its own street access. Here you'll find glass cases full of delectables including Norman Love handcrafted truffles beautifully presented and packaged. Perfect for Valentine's is this build-your-own assortment of hand-made truffles.
Your eyes may pop at the glass cases filled with massive, multi-layered homemade cakes in flavors such as red velvet, carrot and what's called hummingbird cake, which according to Chef Nathan Volz is the most requested recipe from Southern Living magazine in its history. The size of a single serving of these beautiful creations is mind-blowing. Be sure to check it out in the slideshow. One piece easily serves two people; in fact, we got four servings out of one slice!
We also popped inside the kitchen of BLT Steak (also located off the hotel lobby and with its own entrance). Here is where the Cocoa Lab is held offering twice-daily cooking sessions on specified Saturdays. And good news: It's not too late to get in on the remaining January sessions.
"Macarons" will be tackled this Saturday (Jan. 18) from 9 a.m. to noon or 2-5 p.m.
Having taken a macarons class in France, I can assure you this is not an easy "get." The wonderfully airy, French-style macaron must be approached with precision. For inspiration, we're including a picture above of the incredible Macaron Holiday Tree handcrafted with 8,000 macarons and carefully assembled at Bar Cocoa. It was the hit of the hotel's holiday décor. We were fortunate to arrive in time to see this life-size wonder in person.
The Jan. 18 class features instruction for creating three flavors of macarons: Chocolate, Red Velvet, and Chocolate and Nutella.
Bar Cocoa, by the way, added both a Bar Gelato and a Bar Macaron, so those perfect little cookies are always available when you stop by.
Also coming up at the Cocoa Lab is "Entertaining Desserts Made Easy" Saturday, Jan. 25, 9 a.m. to noon or 2-5 p.m.
This class shares the chefs' tips for making variations using local, seasonal fruits and flavorful ingredients to create delights for guests either in your home or to take to dinner parties. The menu includes: Chocolate Éclair, Almond and Fruit Tartlets and Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Local Apples.
We suspect both of these classes will be be especially popular with Valentine's coming soon.
If You're Going: To reserve your spot at Cocoa Lab, call 704.547.2244. You must be at least 18 to participate.
Cocoa Lab is the cooking class and group culinary headquarters for Bar Cocoa offering three-hour cooking and tasting classes on select Saturdays throughout the year. The uniquely-chocolate, pastry and dessert workshops are available to the public and hotel guests and are presented within the behind-the-scenes Bar Cocoa kitchen at a price of $75 per person per class.
The hands-on experiences are limited to a maximum of eight students per session. In each session, students work alongside one of The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte's award-winning pastry chefs to learn cooking techniques and to prepare menu items featuring chocolate, cocoa or other favorite dessert flavors. Students are able to taste the day's creations at the end of each session and receive complimentary one-time parking, a recipe collection and keepsake apron as part of their class fee.
Hotel Reservations and more information about this luxury property can be found at www.ritzcarlton.com or by calling 704.547-2244.
Coming Up: Other stories coming up in this series include a chat with The Ritz-Carlton's new Executive Sous Chef Nathan Volz, a peek inside the beautiful, behind-closed-doors Design Studio popular with brides and special event planners, a visit to the ever-fabulous spa, plus highlights of our romantic dinner at BLK Steak — all in the heart of Uptown Charlotte because CharlottesGotALot.

Melnā Kaķa Mājas
Our name speaks for itself. The Black Cat House Restaurant will be a famous place for those who ten years ago used to spend evenings at the Black Cat's playing pool but now have become much more sophisticated in their desires and values.
A great attention is paid to the restaurant's cuisine excelling common standards and offering our guests only high quality food made of specially selected and fresh local products. The new restaurant stands out with its tasteful Latvian cuisine resembling homemade food and cosiness like those times when your loved ones treated you with something special...
The owner of the restaurant Edgars Beitans and the Chef Andrejs Kudravecs have put in a lot of effort to make the new Cat even better and more friendly than the widely famous place before, yet in another quality now.
Visit us in Old Riga, at 10/12 Meistaru Street, in the House of Cats known before as the good old Black Cat.

The law assumes that the student used the Title IV student aid (e.g., Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, Parent (PLUS) Loan or Perkins Loan) to pay their institutional charges - tuition, fees, residence hall room and board (meal plan), and certain other institutional charges. Thus, if the student withdraw prior to completing 60 percent of the semester for which they were awarded aid, the unearned portion of the aid must be returned to the federal government.
First, Purchase College will restore to the appropriate federal fund source, its required share of insitutional charges that the student has paid. Second, if the amount returned by The College is not enough to repay the entire amount that the student has not "earned" by the length of their enrollment, the student will be required to return portions of amounts that they received to pay for non-institutional charges, i.e., books, supplies, off campus living expenses.
Amounts that must be returned to federal aid sources, whether by the College or by the student, will first be applied to the federal loans. With respect to any amount the student owes after The College has paid back its share, the student will be permitted to repay the loans based on the original terms of the loans - usually a 10-year repayment term after a grace period and deferments if the student return to school. In addition, the student may be required to restore portions of grants such as Pell and Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (SEOG) that they have received. In the case of "unearned" portions of federally funded grants or scholarships, the student will be expected to pay 50 percent of the "unearned" portion immediately of to make satisfactory arrangements to repay that amount.
If the student is entitled to a refund from the College for amounts paid to cover institutional charges, any refund due to the student will first be applied to their obligation to return "unearned" aid before the student receives money back. Thus, portions of insitutional refudns may be applied on the student's behalf to their outstanding Stafford, PLUS or Perkins Loans, or to the federal portions of their grant or scholarship, and not actually refunded directly to the student.
This policy is based on 34 CFR, Section 668.22 of Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.

Now from what I have read, Jasmine rice is best prepared by steaming and should have a slight aroma to it, which I have got when I have eaten it in other places, but not here. Also the rice, was quite the sticky mess, all clumpy and sticking to the spoon. In fact you can even see a few grains hanging on for dear life at the edge of the steamer. Anyways, this was by no standards a good rice and was definitely not fluffed out when it had done its time in the steamer. Most likely someone in the kitchen forgot it was on.
And yet we soldiered on. For desserts, despite having a totally messed up throat, I went for the signature Tub Tim Grob/Krob/Grub (found that there are many ways to spell this). Tub Tim literally means rubies and grob means crunchy and a final description of this dessert is crunchy water chestnuts in coconut milk. The rubies had settled on the bottom of the bowl of coconut milk. Once you scoop them up with some of the coconut milk, the crunch is really nice in the mouth. The dessert is great in the first few spoonfuls, but I felt the crushed ice that was added just diluted the already very thin coconut milk. After a point it was like drinking white water with chestnut rubies. Of course the next day I totally lost my voice thanks to the ice, but then I was asking for it.
Sudhakar went for the Sankhaya Fakthong - Pumpkin custard with coconut ice cream. Now this was one great dessert. The pumpkin custard was of the set variety and the spoon goes in ever so smoothly. Team that up with a lovely coconut custard and this is an absolute treat. Loved this one!
Overall, I wouldn't say we didn't like the meal, but its the small things, like the sticky jasmine rice and the shell in the crab that can spoil on otherwise good meal. The place does served beer and on a houseful day the staff can get a bit lost at to which table needs their attention. The decor is alright, and there is balcony seating, which on a rainy day can be really nice! This meal came to around Rs 2000 which is a bit steep for an average experience.

It's getting hot out there, and festival season is just around the corner. Keep these tips in mind while planning summer, concert ticket purchases, hold the heat stroke.
#1 Hydrate, hydrate, and hydrate some more! Those of us living at 5,280 feet above sea level are more aware of the importance of keeping ourselves hydrated than most, but it never hurts to check ourselves. Too much booze is a great way to ruin the whole show. The general consensus is that we should drink 8 glasses of water per day. This is actually incorrect! To figure out how much water you should be drinking each day, divide your weight, (in pounds) by 2. The resulting number is the number of ounces of water you need each day. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs, you should be drinking 75 ounces of water daily. I know it's tempting to load up on beer and margaritas when you are enjoying music on a warm night, but avoid too much alcohol. It can be unhealthy, and can cause more dehydration. The good news is that you can eat your daily dose of water in addition to drinking it. How about a big slice of water melon on the side of that daiquiri, or some carrots to scoop up that dip? If you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated, so go fill up your water bottle!
#2 Always wear weather appropriate clothes. Light-weight clothing with plenty of ventilation and breathability is the best. If you will be out at an all day festival, bring layers along for the ride. If you get chilly as the sun goes down and the mosh pit starts to calm, throw on a jacket, but do not dress for night time temperatures in the morning or you will just be asking for trouble.
#3 Be sure to have sunscreen on hand at all times. It does not take long to get crispy, and when you are having fun you may not notice until it is too late. Keep yourself protected by using a minimum of SPF 30, and wearing sunglasses and a hat.
#4 Eat light, heart-healthy foods. Not only do these types of foods taste great on a hot, summer day, but they can help replace minerals and nutrients that may be lost from a day in the sun. Healthy foods are nearly impossible to find at most events, so bring some snacks, or have something ready to eat when you get home.
#5 Find some shade. When you are in between bands that you love, find a shady spot to sit and relax.
Before spending a day in the sun, be sure to read up on the symptoms of heat stroke and exhaustion. http://firstaid.webmd.com/heat-exhaustion-treatment
So go buy those tickets! And don't forget the sunscreen and water bottles!

OTTAWA – Sterling picked a great time for its most complete game of the season. Now it has to hope it wasn't too little, too late.
Draque Penaflor-Heier busted loose for a 46-yard touchdown on the third play of the game. The jet-quick senior added three more TDs and rushed for 195 yards in the Golden Warriors' 38-13 romp in a must-win game Friday night at King Field.
The Warriors (5-4, 3-2 Northern Illinois Big 12 West) are playoff eligible with five wins, but are not guaranteed a playoff spot. That will be determined by five-win teams' playoff points – oppenents' wins – and Sterling's might not be high enough to get in.
"I hope we can make the playoffs, but if not, we had the best game of our lives right here," Penaflor-Heier said. "I told the guys at halftime, 'This is our state. We've got to leave it all on the field. We have to want it more than they do.'"
The Warriors did what they needed to, and did it in impressive fashion.
Sterling piled up 310 yards on the ground and outgained Ottawa (3-6, 3-2) 343-270.
The Warriors forced five fumbles, recovering four, and won the turnover battle 4-1.
"We don't know if this is our last game or not," said Sterling senior quarterback/linebacker Bryant Lilly, who carried 16 times for 78 yards. "Us seniors, we've been playing together since fifth grade. We decided to play football the way we can. We played great. If we get in the playoffs, I think we're going to do some damage."
It took Sterling just 68 seconds to get on the scoreboard via Penaflor-Heier's first TD.
The Pirates answered with a quick TD of their own, a 24-yard pass from Carter Krause to Cody Stokes, and it was 7-7 with 8:30 left in the first quarter.
Penaflor-Heier scored his second touchdown with 5:48 left in the first half, this one a 26-yarder set up by his own 22-yard jaunt, and Sterling led 14-7.
It stayed that way into the second half. Josh Knie's fumble recovery at the Ottawa 19 set up a 2-yard TD by Penaflor-Heier to make it 21-7 with 6:58 left in the third quarter.
Sterling kicker Tony Diaz, who played in the Warriors' soccer team's postseason loss earlier in the day, hit a 28-yard field goal with 10:41 to play to make it 24-7.
Penaflor-Heier broke a 69-yard TD run with 4:43 to play, then Logan Wharff returned a fumble for a score on Ottawa's next play from scrimmage, making it 38-7 with 4:31 left.
"I'm very, very proud of these kids the way they came out and performed," Sterling coach Jon Schlemmer said.
"I give a lot of credit to the seniors for that. Growing up in Sterling, these kids expect to win. It means so much to these kids. If we would have played that well the whole year ... but, things happen."
Key performers: Bryant Lilly, Sterling, 78 rushing yards; Caleb Smith, Ottawa, 70 rushing yards

Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire as seen through my eyes.
In December 1966, in a farming village in Lincolnshire, a little girl was born. As she grew up she was taught by her father about the land and about nature and her surroundings. Years passed and the little girl grew up and gradually began to forget about everything that she had been taught to appreciate. She wasted alot of years doing wasteful things. Then one day she met a man and awoke to life again. She discovered Islam, she stopped doing wasteful things and she remembered everything she had been taught. But...something is different now. Things are changing. That little girl is realising that everything she knew and loved when she was young is disappearing.....and her quest is to capture as much of it as she can before it is gone forever..... So please, appreciate what you have because it will be gone before you know it....

BEA Q-and-A at OOW08
By Bob Rhubart-Oracle on Aug 19, 2008
Based on the level of discussion that persists across the OTN community, it's clear that the dust still hasn't quite settled around Oracle's acquisition of BEA. Those who seek to further understand how BEA products fit into Oracle's middleware strategy will have an excellent opportunity to put their questions directly to the people with the definitive answers during a special panel to be held as part of Oracle OpenWorld 2008.
The panel assembled for Ask the Middleware Executives includes:
- Ted Farrell, Chief Architect & Senior Vice President Tools and Middleware
- Thomas Kurian, Senior Vice President Oracle Fusion Middleware
- Hasan Rizvi, Senior Vice President Oracle Fusion Middleware Products
- Anthony Fernicola, Senior Vice President, Technology Sales.
Additional details are available here.
BEA customers and members of BEA's Dev2Dev and Arch2Arch communities should also take note of a special BEA at Oracle OpenWorld track that includes 75 sessions and hands-on labs covering BEA products.

Scary Coincidences in Santa Cruz
We've planned this trip for weeks. The three of us will drive 400 miles to visit our older son at college in Santa Cruz. That's a painful 7 hours in the car, but I'll stay through Wednesday for a conference in Palo Alto, so the effort will be worth it. The fold-ups come along, too. […]

Nutrition experts agree that whole grains are a healthier alternative than refined carbs. After all, plant-based foods should form the base of the human diet. Some experts have gone public with claims, backed by their research, that wheat is toxic for the human body. The most commonly consumed grain, these experts say that by eliminating wheat from the diet you will experience remarkable health improvements.
According to cardiologist William Davis, MD, the mass production of today's wheat has been effective in feeding a larger population of people. However, it is also less healthy than wheat that was produced decades ago. The following are some of his significant research findings:
* Wheat has been genetically modified so that it can produce more per acre
* It has a high glycemic index, meaning it raises blood sugar levels considerably which causes spikes in insulin and leads to accumulated belly fat
* A protein present in modern wheat called gliatin has addictive properties and functions as an appetite stimulant, making you crave more of it
In agreement with Dr. Davis and his anti-wheat campaign is neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter. Dr. Perlmutter's view is slightly different in that he believes all carbs, including whole grains, are harmful to brain health.
Both Dr. Davis and Dr. Perlmutter state that wheat, even whole wheat, can cause inflammatory conditions and other diseases such as
* heart disease
* diabetes
* arthritis
* fatigue
* depression
* anxiety
* dementia
Claims from both of these medical experts are surprising because many studies advocate whole grains (barley, rye, whole wheat, etc.) as important for optimal health. Wheat is a great source of fiber and other nutrients and has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and obesity. Perhaps other dietary and lifestyle factors come into play to determine overall health status.
Cutting wheat out of the diet can reduce daily caloric intake by about 400 calories. This is significant if your goal is weight loss. There are plenty of other food options:
* Vegetables
* Fruit
* Lean grass-fed and free range meats
* Eggs
* Nuts and seeds
* Cheese
* Non-wheat whole grains: oats, brown rice, millet, and quinoa
For more information on the wheat issue check out Wheat Belly written by Dr. Davis and Grain Brain written by Dr. Perlmutter.
Much of it comes down to personal preference and making decisions. Consuming wheat in moderation is a good option. Consult with a credentialed dietitian if ever in doubt. Only you can make the best dietary choices for yourself and your health.

Just picked up my mag carrier from "The Beltman" yesterday. Actually picked it up from Tracy, his assistant and girl friday. A hellva lot better looking and talks nicer too.
This rounds out my ensemable which consist of a belt, holster and an angled mag carrier. The belt is the standard double thickness 2 1/2 inch that you can check out on his website. .The holster is pancake style for a 1911 3 1/2 inch and has a sweat shield. Undoubtably the most comfortable holster that I have ever worn. When mated to the 2 1/2 inch belt it doesn't move, flop, or any other aggervating action that I have had other holste/belt combinations do. He does not advertise the fact that he makes holsters on his website, which is kinda puzzling. I asked him to reverse the angle of mag carrier so that the mag base points to the rear when worn on my left side. He looked at me kinda funny when I requested that modification, but did it anyway. This way I can wear the carrier forward of my hip so I have access to my wallet but without the fear of flashing the mag if my cover garment gets blown back
I am fortunate that I only live about 15 minutes from his shop. Jim and Tracy are good people and I would encourage anyone who wants a quality belt, holster, or anything made from leather to contact him.

Rebecca Morris: In Conversation

Michael Shaw visits the studio of painter Rebecca Morris and interviews her about her work.
Morris reads from her Abstract Manifesto and recalls what prompted her write a manifesto about abstract painting: "when I came out of school in the 90s, abstraction wasn't very in… that wasn't the sort of gallery style at the moment… people thought I was making these ironic paintings, making fun of abstraction, and I was so puzzled by this reaction… but the paintings were really serious and they weren't spoofs of abstraction and the only real solution to that dilemma was, well, I'm just going to keep making my work and people will figure out it's not a joke…"
Morris' interview begins 1:40 into the podcast.

I am trying to set up an ad-hoc network at my dad's place. He has a desktop machine into which I have installed a wireless card, and a new laptop with built-in wireless. There is no router, so I want the two machines to be in an ad-hoc network. The desktop machine is set up to dial out to the internet, so ideally I'd like that to happen automatically when either machine tries to access the internet, but for now I'm just trying to get basic file/printer sharing going.
Both machines are running XP SP 3, and neither is reporting problems with the wireless cards. I know the laptop works because I set it up at my place and it was fine. I ran through a wireless networking wizard (several times) which had me insert a thumbdrive into the desktop and then the laptop. The laptop then said that it had successfully joined the network, but the machines still couldn't seem to see each other. But I am unable to diagnose why not - everything seems to succeed except that the machines can't see each other. The machines are currently two feet apart.
If I set up the network on the desktop and then go to "display wireless networks" on the laptop, it shows nothing. If I manually add the network SSID and such into the laptop, it claims to see it, but refuses to connect to it. The only error message I get is "cannot connect".
I don't know if the card I installed is simply not working (it worked last time I tried it but it's been sitting in a closet for a while - Windows is not reporting any problems with it), or if there is some kind of authentication problem somewhere, or something else. I'm not seeing any error messages, it's just not working and I don't know how to diagnose why.

Regal Princess has been transferred to sister line P&O Australia, officially ending its 16-year tenure with Princess Cruises. The ship was renamed Pacific Dawn in Sydney Harbor on November 8 in a ceremony led by Olympic gold medalist Cathy Freeman, who served as godmother.
At 70,000 tons and carrying 1,590 passengers (max capacity 2,050), Pacific Dawn becomes the largest ship in the P&O Australia fleet (though it was among Princess' smallest). The ship will be sailing South Pacific itineraries roundtrip from Sydney, calling at exotic ports such as Isle of Pines, Wala Island and Noumea.
In the last several years, Regal Princess had become somewhat of a remnant of a previous cruise era. With only 30 percent of all outside cabins featuring verandahs (compared to almost 80 percent on the new Emerald Princess), a nearly invisible spa (buried in the vessel's bowels) and no alternative restaurant, the ship was rapidly being supplanted by its newer, far more modern fleetmates.
Prior to re-launching with P&O Australia, Pacific Dawn underwent a much-needed multi-million dollar refurbishment in Singapore. The upgrades to this 1991-built vessel include:
Improvements to the sun deck; large sun shades have been erected on the Lido Deck creating shaded alfresco dining areas, and a new sports bar and ice cream parlor has been constructed.
Because Australia has a strong family cruise market, a number of four-berth cabins have been fitted, and kids and teen facilities -- the Teen Lounge, Shark Shack and Turtle Cove areas -- were upgraded.
Flat-screen TV's have been added to all staterooms, as have new linens.
The most dramatic change has been to the grand dome at the front and top of the ship. It is now serves as a more traditional "crow's nest" bar, a casual venue during the day that transforms into a nightclub in the evening.
Pacific Dawn will sail 52 cruises between November 2007 and June 2009 ranging in length from 7 to 28 nights.

Kris Jenner on 'Kimye': "I Have Never Seen Kim This Happy" (VIDEO)
Kim Kardashian's romance with Kanye West is stronger than ever — at least, according to her mom Kris Jenner, who says she's "never seen Kim this happy."
"She's calm, and she's happy. She's content in her life right now," Jenner told E! News on Thursday.

The Kardashian family matriarch continued, "I think she's working hard, and she loves what she's doing, and she's passionate about her projects, and she's loving life right now."
Jenner also weighed in on whether she thinks West is "The One," and if she would recommend the couple have a TV wedding should they decide to tie the knot.

Manufacturing Industries in Tamil Nadu
India Data Talk: The Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) 2009-2010, conducted by the Ministry of Statistics and Programmed Implementation, evaluates the industrial scenario in India from April 2009 to March 2010. The survey provides statistics on such major industrial characteristics as number of factories, capital, workers, wages, product input and output, and value added. This information could be useful for business planning and policy formulation by both industry players and government authorities.
According to the ASI 2009-2010, Tamil Nadu recorded 1.89 million persons engaged in the manufacturing sector, the highest among all states and union territories in India. During this period, the amount of fixed capital in Tamil Nadu rose by 35.9% to INR 1.33 trillion. This increase in fixed capital contributed greatly to the expansion of gross output from INR 3.01 trillion in 2008-2009 to INR 3.76 trillion in 2009-2010 and to a vast increase in net value added, from INR 397.14 billion the previous year to INR 591.55 billion in 2009-2010. As one of the most industrialised states in India, Tamil Nadu has been an economic leader over the years. This is especially evident in Tamil Nadu's capital, Chennai, which is one of the fastest growing cities in India and host to a large portion of India's manufacturing industries.
Composition of Net Value Added (%)
Chart provided by: CEIC
During the 2009-2010 period, Tamil Nadu saw increasing emphasis in three sectors, namely, machinery and equipments (M&E), chemical and chemical products (C&CP), and computer, electronics and optical products (CE&O). The M&E sector, in particular, accounted for 16.72% of total net value added compared with 11.14% in the previous year, overtaking the motor vehicle sector as the top contributor to the total net value added of Tamil Nadu's manufacturing sector. The C&CP and CE&O sectors meanwhile accounted for 3.71% and 3.61% of total net value added, respectively, up from 2.36% and 2.73% during the previous year although their contribution in terms of total net value added remained small.
Because of current economic uncertainties, growth in India's Industrial Production Index (IPI) has hovered below 7% since the third quarter of 2011. Indeed, IPI growth has normalized since a period of high growth during early 2010, when the IPI increased at double digits. Despite the observed turbulence in the short term, strong growth in Tamil Nadu's capital investment suggests healthy long-term prospects for its manufacturing sector.

With the nonconference portion of the schedule in the rearview mirror after Middle Tennessee State's game Tuesday, it's a good time to stop and evaluate where Conference USA teams stand.
This year's Conference USA race will have a different feel. Gone are perennial power Memphis as well as Houston, SMU and Central Florida. Playing their first season of C-USA basketball are UTSA, North Texas, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee State, Charlotte, Old Dominion, Florida Atlantic and Florida International.
With 16 teams, Conference USA is now one of the largest conferences in the nation. Teams will play all 15 conference opponents and then have a second game against one conference foe. In Rice's case, they play Louisiana Tech twice.
All the teams qualify for the Conference USA Tournament except for Florida International, which is ineligible. The top four seeds will receive a double-bye. The tournament is hosted by UTEP this season.
Rice enters conference play 5-8; a win total that equals how many victories the Owls had the entire 2012-2013 season. The team has made strides this season and should be competitive in many C-USA games.
The following is a closer look at Rice's opponents the rest of the regular season, and one perspective regarding what percentage chance the Owls have to pull off the victory.
The conference season kicks off with six games Thursday before a full slate of eight games this coming weekend. Rice opens against FIU at 7 p.m. Thursday at Tudor Fieldhouse.

Southern Mississippi
- Record: 13-2
- Ken Pom: 51
- Strength of Schedule: 128
3 best wins: at North Dakota State, at DePaul, at Rhode Island
Losses: at Louisville, at Western Kentucky
- Top Scorer- Neil Watson (11.8 ppg)
- Top Rebounded- Michael Craig (7.5 rpg)
- Top Assister- Watson (3.7 apg)
The Golden Eagles are poised to perch on top of the conference standings this season. Southern Miss shoots well at 47 percent per game, has a balanced scoring attack (five players average between 9 and 12 points a game) and leads the conference in scoring defense, giving up 62 points a game. There are no bad losses on the resume, and they are 4-2 on the road.
Matchup against Rice: Jan. 16 in Hattiesburg
Chance Rice will win: 4 percent
- Record: 11-3
- Ken Pom: 107
- Strength of Schedule: 232
3 best wins: UNC, at Northwestern, Nebraska (in Charleston, S.C.)
Losses: at LSU, New Mexico, Temple (last 2 in Charleston)
- Top Scorer- Chad Frazier (17.6 ppg)
- Top Rebounder- C. J. Washington (7.6 rpg)
- Top Assister- Frazier (5.1 apg)
UAB has arguably the conference's signature win of the season so far. They upset UNC 63-59 after a decent sixth-place showing at a tournament in Charleston. UAB leads the conference in free throw percentage (.723) and is tops in both offensive rebounding and rebounding margin. Turnovers have been a problem though, and some games the players have shot poorly.
Matchup against Rice: Feb. 27 in Houston
Chance Rice will win: 10 percent
Louisiana Tech
- Record: 12-3
- Ken Pom: 52
- Strength of Schedule: 248
3 best wins: at Oklahoma, at ULM, vs. St. Bonaventure (in Florida)
Losses: at St. Mary's, Oklahoma State (in OKC), UL-Lafayette
- Top Scorer- Raheem Appleby (16.6 ppg)
- Top Rebounder- Michale Kyser (7.2 rpg)
- Top Assister- Kennith Smith (6.3 apg)
The explosive Bulldog offense is tops in the C-USA and 7th best in the country. La Tech averages 86 points a contest. Alex Hamilton and Chris Anderson join Appley in averaging double digit points a game. The Bulldogs are only team to win at Oklahoma so far this season. La Tech is second in Conference USA in field goal percentage (.479) and tops in blocked shots (94).
Matchups against Rice: Feb. 15 in Ruston, March 6 in Houston
Chance Rice will win: 14 percent in Ruston, 25 percent in Houston
- Record: 9-4
- Ken Pom: 114
- Strength of Schedule: 244
3 best wins: Michigan (in Puerto Rice), K-State (Ditto), Elon
3 worst losses: at Charleston, Davidson, Georgia Tech
- Top Scorer- Shawn Lester (13.8 ppg)
- Top Rebounder- Willie Clayton (9.5 rpg)
- Top Assister- Pierria Henry (6.2 apg)
Winning the Puerto Rico Tip-Off brought Charlotte some national attention in the 49ers debut year in Conference USA. Since then, Charlotte has gone 4-3, including a pair of home losses. Henry is third in the conference in assists while Clayton is second in rebounding and leads C-USA in field goal percentage (.622). The 49ers are in the middle of the pack in most statistical categories, though they do excel in 3-point shooting percentage (.371).
Matchup against Rice: Jan. 25 in Houston
Chance Rice will win: 24 percent
- Record: 10-5
- Ken Pom: 104
- Strength of Schedule: 158
3 best wins: Tennessee (in Bahamas), at Washington State, Colorado State
3 worst losses: New Orleans, New Mexico State (twice).
- Top Scorer- McKenzie Moore (13.1 ppg, suspended)
- Top Rebounder- John Bohannon (8.1 rpg)
- Top Assister- Moore (2.7 apg)
Tim Floyd's team faced stiff competition in the Bahamas during Thanksgiving week. They beat Tennessee 78-70, got blown out by Iowa and then gave Kansas fits in 67-63 loss. The Miners appear battle tested and they get the advantage of playing the C-USA Tournament at home. UTEP is second in scoring defense in the conference (65.2 ppg) and leads the way in defensive field goal percentage (.375). News surfaced on Tuesday that Moore, Jalen Ragland and graduate student Justin Crosgile had been dismissed from the team after school administration had determined that they had gambled on athletic events. School officials and the FBI do not think the players betted on UTEP games.
Matchup against Rice: Feb. 1 in El Paso
Chance Rice win will: 21 percent
North Texas
- Record: 9-5
- Ken Pom: 200
- Strength of Schedule: 240
3 best wins: at Texas A&M, at Portland, Nicholls State
3 worst losses: Idaho (in Portland), Columbia (in Portland), Stephen F. Austin
- Top Scorer- Alzee Williams (14.4 ppg)
- Top Rebounder- Jordan Williams (6.3 ppg)
- Top Assister- Chris Jones (3.8 apg)
Winners of four straight, North Texas is the only Conference USA team that can claim a 20-point road win over an SEC foe. Granted Texas A&M is not going to win many SEC games this year, but the 61-41 win on New Year's Eve was a shot in the arm for coach Tony Benford's squad. North Texas shot 51 percent in that game, but for the season the Mean Green are 14th in the C-USA in field goal shooting (.423). The Mean Green are second-to-last in assists and made 3-pointers.
Matchup against Rice: Feb. 6 in Houston
Chance Rice will win: 32 percent
East Carolina
- Record: 11-4
- Ken Pom: 172
- Strength of Schedule: 315
3 best wins: UNC-Ashville (in Kingston, R.I.), VMI, at UNC-Greensboro
3 worst losses: UNC-Wilmington, Georgia State, at NC State
- Top Scorer- Akeem Richmond (20 ppg)
- Top Rebounder- Brandan Stith (9.5 rpg)
- Top Assister- Paris Roberts-Campbell (3.3 apg)
Unlike Southern Miss, UAB and Charlotte, East Carolina has been relatively untested. They did play Duke and NC State and kept both games close. The Pirates have just one win over an RPI Top 200 team and UNC-Ashville barely qualifies at No. 195. Richmond tops C-USA in scoring and Stith is fourth in rebounding. The Pirates lead the conference in shooting percentage (.492) and 3-point shooting percentage (.393).
Matchup against Rice: Feb. 22 in Greenville
Chance Rice will win: 28 percent
Middle Tennessee State
- Record: 10-5
- Ken Pom: 138
- Strength of Schedule: 230
3 best wins: Akron, Southern, ULAR
3 worst losses: Maine (in Chattanooga), Belmont, at Ole Miss
- Top Scorer- Shawn Jones (13.1 ppg)
- Top Rebounder- Jones (8.6 rpg)
- Top Assister- Tweety Knight (5.0 apg)
Middle Tennessee State is 5-1 at home, but they only have won one road game thus far. They are 0-4 against RPI top 100, but 4-0 against RPI 101-200. The Blue Raiders resume seems to lack anything unusual on it, for better or worse. Knight is fifth in the league in assists and third in steals. Middle Tennessee State is a decent rebounding squad and pretty good at swatting away opponents' shots. They could use some improvement behind the arc (shooting .312).
Matchup against Rice: March 1 in Murfreesboro
Chance Rice will win: 33 percent
- Record: 5-9
- Ken Pom: 166
- Strength of Schedule: 38
3 best wins: Indiana State (in Alaska), ULAR, Cal-State Fullerton
3 worst losses: TCU (twice), Oral Roberts
- Top Scorer- James Woodard (14.4 ppg)
- Top Rebounder- Woodard (5.9 rpg)
- Top Assister- Shaquille Harrison (3.4 apg)
The record is worse than Tulane and others not cracking the top 10, but Danny Manning's squad is battle tested, having faced 7 RPI top 100 teams. Yes, they lost six of them, but they were only overmatched in the Wichita State game. Tulsa is third in C-USA in 3-point field goals (.352) and third in turnover margin (+1.86). On the negative side, they are last in rebound margin (-3.4) and third-to-last in scoring defense (74.5).
Matchup against Rice: Feb. 8 at Tulsa
Chance Rice will win: 41 percent
Florida International
- Record: 8-7
- Ken Pom: 235
- Strength of Schedule: 297
3 best wins: Georgia State, Florida Gulf Coast, at Kennesaw State
3 worst losses: at Florida A&M, Youngstown State (in Kennesaw, Ga.), Eastern Kentucky (ditto)
- Top Scorer- Tymell Murphy (16.1 ppg)
- Top Rebounder- Rakeem Buckles (10.5 rpg)
- Top Assister- Raymond Taylor (6.2 apg in six games)
FIU has four players average double figure points led by Murphy, who is ninth in the conference in scoring. Yet, the team is only 10th in scoring offense at just over 71 points a contest. The Golden Panthers do hit the boards well. Buckles leads the conference in that category. Turnovers are a concern as they've already committed 220. FIU had only one win over an RPI 200 team.
Matchup against Rice: Thursday in Houston
Chance Rice will win: 43 percent
Best of the Rest
Marshall (6-9) and Tulane (8-7) are just outside the top 10. Both are capable of getting to .500 or better in C-USA play, but they have to show gradual improvement.
The bottom four are Old Dominion (6-9), Rice (5-8), Florida Atlantic (4-10) and UTSA (4-9). These are the games Rice has the best shot of winning. Florida Atlantic visits Rice on Saturday. Rice could equal its C-USA win total from last year right away with a W over the FAU.

The two-inch dongle connects to the back of HD televisions and can stream YouTube videos and Netflix programmes.
09:00, UK, Thursday 25 July 2013
Google has introduced a new device to allow viewers to stream internet videos to their TV.
Chromecast, a two-inch dongle that looks like a thumb drive, fits into the HDMI port on an HD television.
It streams content over a wi-fi network to a television, using a computer, phone or tablet as a remote control.
The company said its goal is to create a device with no setup time, no learning curve, and one that works with all platforms and devices.
The $35 (£22) device is a different approach to TV than Google's previous failed attempt, the Nexus Q.
"The television is missing in the streaming video picture," said Sundar Pichai, Google's senior vice president of Android, Chrome and apps.
"It is really, really difficult to get your online videos on the television."
Chromecast supports both Android and iOS devices, and at the launch event Google demonstrated the device using a Windows laptop and an iPhone.
The device currently only streams content from YouTube, Google Play and Netflix, although more apps, such as Pandora, are expected in the future.
Only 15% of households know how to watch online video on their TV, according to Google.
The device goes head-to-head with existing internet-on-TV devices like Apple TV and Roku.
Chromecast will initially only be available to buy in the US.
Google has also unveiled a new tablet to challenge Apple's iPad Mini.
The new Nexus 7 has the world's highest resolution screen, and is around £100 cheaper than the Apple device.

WordPress Loop
'The Loop' is the name given to the main small piece of code that displays content in a Website or Blog based on WordPress installation. If you have used PHP before this will look familiar, if not don't panic – just remember it's called 'The Loop' by everyone that uses WordPress.
This code has to be in your template to show posts, pages and content like category listings.
Looking at existing templates is a good start – manipulating The Loop is the key to customising the display of content. It is amazing what you can do and remember you can have multiple loops on one page! Getting control of customised loops is the functionality you need to harness to use WordPress as a CMS.
This will enable you have unlimited display control over your content in your website design – so you can get away from the 'blog' structure and produce a full content managed website.
WordPress 3.0 and beyond
WordPress 3.0 has a new, much more efficient way of working with the loop (or other parts of your template file structure) – See the WordPress Codex reference on get_template_part for more information. Don't worry – all your existing template code will work but WordPress 3.0 has a few new tricks for template designers to use. And remember to backup your files just in case (webhosting packages can do that job for you).

Fast Pace and Long Life in Big Apple
The Health Blog's commute, from doorstep in Brooklyn to desk in lower Manhattan, comprises two subways, a 20-block walk and 11 flights of stairs.
And we can do it in 30 minutes, if the trains are on time.
We move fast because it's part of the pace of life here. Speeding down sidewalks and sprinting up subway steps is one way you make it known that you live in the city and aren't here to just see the sights.
But researchers are finding the rapid pedestrian pace of New Yorkers is actually quite good for us. As New York magazine reports, the New York City Department of Health estimates a New Yorker born in 2004 can now expect to live 78.6 years, nine months longer than the average American will.
There are many factors behind the lengthening lifespan here. Part of it is public policy: No smoking in bars or restaurants. But a large part of what makes us New Yorkers different is that we walk — everywhere, every day. And we walk fast.
New studies show that the faster you walk, the better it is for you. Epidemiologist Eleanor Simonsick and some colleagues followed a group of 3,075 seniors in their 70s for six years. They asked their subjects to complete a 400-meter course, walking as fast as they could. The scientists found that those who got sick and those who died were those who walked the slowest.
"Walking speed absolutely reflects health status," Simonsick told New York mag's Clive Thompson, "the very structure of the city coerces us to exercise far more than people elsewhere in the U.S., in a way that is strongly correlated with a far-better life expectancy."
