Vieira is careful of how she treats the topic of female colleagues. "I think it's the mission of every woman in the business to help the next woman," she says. "When I was on The View in particular, I always kept an eye out for the young one." And when I mention Katie Couric, whom Vieira replaced on Today, she has nothing but empathy for Couric's struggles as anchor of the CBS Evening News. "I feel for her," she says. "She walked into a show that was in third place, and to suggest that you could turn it around … I don't know that anybody could do that. It's much more of a slow build. And not every job is perfect for every person. Katie is incredibly talented, and if the evening news doesn't work out, I don't think anybody could say she doesn't have the goods."
The end of Couric's tenure at Today coincided with Vieira's contract at The View coming up for renewal. "That's always a time for me to reflect and look at the landscape, both externally and internally," says Vieira, who also hosts the daytime series Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. She had turned down a job on CBS's morning show five years earlier, but this time, when NBC Universal head Jeff Zucker came courting in extreme secrecy ("He picked me up in an SUV with tinted windows — the whole thing," she says), she realized she was ready for a bigger challenge. "I like the range," she says of Today. "It stretches me. The one thing I hadn't done on a regular basis was politics, and that first half hour … that's a big deal."
In 2008, her Today highlights included covering her first Olympics ("It was kind of nice to be a virgin again," she says) and then the Republican convention — although the latter, with its controversy over whether Sarah Palin should be juggling motherhood and a possible vice presidency, had Vieira flashing back to her post-60 Minutes days. "If it raises discussion, that's fine, but who can judge what's right for her?" she says. "None of us should be the figureheads for everybody else."
In terms of her own image management, Vieira has wrestled with how to age gracefully in a high-definition medium. She experimented with going gray when she was on The View; she even had a "gray cam" installed so the audience could check her progress. But it wasn't happening fast enough, and "when I got the job at Millionaire they said, 'We're not into the gray. It's part of the deal. We can't have this half skunk.' So I succumbed.
"In my heart I want to be who I am at whatever age I am. But it's hard when you have a camera in your face every day," Vieira admits. "I'd be lying if I said there weren't days when I say, 'Oh god, I really am 54.' But I made a commitment that I'm not going to do anything to my face. I know that I'd be the one that they'd really screw up."
One gets the feeling, though, that Vieira scarcely has time for concerns like these. "She's so busy living her life that it wouldn't pop into her head to worry about a wrinkle," her friend Priscilla Warner says. And Vieira seconds Warner's observation: "I'm an in-the-moment person," she says with a laugh. "If I think too far ahead, my head starts to spin."

This architectural masterpiece is one of Europe's foremost late-baroque buildings. The Crown Gate (Kronentor) with its golden dome has become a famous Dresden landmark.
Zwinger Palace was once used for court festivities. Even back then, its buildings housed the Electoral art collections, library, Old Masters Gallery, armoury, porcelain collection, zoology museum and Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments. With its enchanting fountains and picturesque backdrop, the courtyard is a great place to relax and in the summer is used as a stage for open-air events. Read more

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 4 September 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590904-TC-JAC-01; CL 35: 191-192
Auchtertool, 4 Septr, 1859—
My dear Brother,
I find there is nothing needing to be done in that Carpetbag affair: my old Bag here "will do, if I can leave it; and if I cannot, I may take it with me, & some other resource will be found." Basta [Enough].
I got home well enough last night; and took no harm in the bronchia departt, rather the reverse even: for after a large allowance of tea I found the feeling almost gone; and that, after a fair night's sleep, continues still to be the case. The only questionable point was, I found at Burntisland they had "shod my Horse all round" (small thanks to them for that!)1—whh seemed to mean that the animal was lamed, or wd be! "It was one of the fore shoes that was off, Sir!" said they in ansr to my interjections. Any way the fact was there, and not to be changed. Poor Fritz set off at a high canter thro' the Streets; went cantering, whenever possible, nearly all the way home:—I am in a kind of hope we have missed the lameness this time? For the rest, I have written to Larkin to provide about his arriving, by Edinr Steamer, on "Friday 16th" with Charlotte, at St. Kathne Dock. Jane will follow almost at the same time; & I am to be "at least a week later in arriving." Such is the arranget.— I hardly think of going by Spedding's, by Milnes's, by Ld Stanleys,2 or doing any kind of visit by the road: Annandale, Scotsbrig chiefly, is to have the rest of my time. Cannot be "too quiet," in prest mood & circumstces!
I looked a little for you this morng, yet with little hope, as breakfast went on: however, I still hope we shall see you here before we go. "Thursday" is the day I have rudely marked for being ready (can easily be so); of course I shd like yr company;3 but it is not worth while to tie you from going sooner:—only if, any day, you feel to have nothing more to do in Edinr,—why not step into a Steamer and run over hither for a final 24 hours?— I meanwhile ought to be busy!— Your affecte
T. Carlyle

Transcript of a Press Conference by
The International Monetary and Financial Committee of the IMF
And the Development Committee of the World Bank
Sunday, September 24, 2000
Gordon Brown, Chancellor of the Exchequer (United Kingdom) and Chairman, International Monetary and Financial Committee of the IMF
MR. DAWSON: This is a press conference to review the outcome of this evening's joint meeting of the International Monetary Fund's International Monetary and Financial Committee and the World Bank's Development Committee. I would like to introduce Yashwant Sinha, the Finance Minister of India and the new Chairman of the Development Committee; and the United Kingdom Chancellor of the Exchequer and Chairman of the IMFC, Gordon Brown. To his right is Sven Sandstrom, a World Bank Managing Director; and to his right is Stanley Fischer, the First Deputy Managing Director of the IMF.
MR. BROWN: I welcome the chance to work with Mr. Sinha from India and I congratulate him on becoming the new chairman. These joint meetings reflected our shared concern that debt relief should lead to poverty reduction and our recognition of the need to act with the new measures to make possible further progress for debt relief.
MR. SINHA: Ladies and gentlemen, this was the second joint meeting of the Development Committee and the IMFC. The first meeting was held last September at the time of the 1999 Annual Meetings, thanks to the initiative taken by the chairman of the IMFC, Gordon Brown, and the then chairman of the Development Committee. At this time, when I took over the chairmanship of the Development Committee, we discussed this matter and we decided that we should hold this joint meeting once again in order to achieve two objectives.
MR. DAWSON: Now we can take questions.
QUESTIONER: What was the reaction of the committee members to the Canadian proposal for a moratorium on HIPC debt payments and the details of that?
MR. BROWN: The Canadian proposal, as I understand it from Mr. Martin, is that relief is given before we reach decision points. In other words, there is a moratorium. I believe we are answering that proposal today with the speed we're now moving at to get the necessary--the World Bank initiative....(Inaudible).... Mr. Martin's proposal is this moratorium for a period of time, and he did put it at the meeting. The answer to it is actually the speed with which we want to move through the next group of countries. It is the equivalent, of course, of us getting debt relief. If we can get debt relief quickly in the next two or three months, then we have met exactly what he wants to achieve. So there are two ways of achieving his proposal.
One is to move quickly from ten to twenty countries, which we believe we can do. The other is to expect that there's going to be a long delay and then put a moratorium on. We believe that the proposals that we've agreed this evening will allow us to move from ten to twenty countries within three months. So we are achieving the spirit of what Mr. Martin wants to achieve by the actions we're taking.
QUESTIONER: How do you plan to be more flexible in time regarding the HIPC Initiative? I want you to explain, also, the sunset clause that you mentioned in the communique.
MR. BROWN: The sunset clause is an extension for two more years to allow countries to enter the process. That is a good decision that allows us to do more.
MR. FISCHER: And then there is the fact that interim debt relief starts as soon as the country gets the decision point. So it means you get the decision point very quickly, which is what the changes make possible when the interim debt relief starts immediately. So the whole thing is accelerated in terms of provision of debt relief relative to what it would have been before.
QUESTIONER: You will be aware of the concerns that Uganda has over whether, even after reaching the completion point, they have received enough debt relief. There are proposals that the calculations for debt sustainability based on export ratios are perhaps not sufficient and you should look also at fiscal revenue. Was there any discussion in the joint meeting as to any kind of review in the future on whether countries, once they do reach a completion point, have actually received enough debt relief to meet their poverty reduction targets?
MR. BROWN: I can only answer in more general terms because I'm not dealing as the Bank and Fund are with a specific case. If this is a question to me, let me say two things.
MR. SANDSTROM: In the case of the Uganda, the relevant relief has been provided according to the enhanced framework. And we have gone through the numbers again and verified that they have received what should be provided.
QUESTIONER: A question for the Chancellor. The arch of history has it that sooner or later the accusers become the accused. And the Bank and the Fund have been preaching good governance to developing countries as the foundation for development for quite some time now.
MR. BROWN: These are wider issues than we're discussing this evening. This is a continuing debate about both membership votes and quotas. This debate will obviously continue. I really don't think that this is the time to make new statements on that. We're here for a quite specific purpose and that is to look at how we can achieve debt relief and poverty reduction.
QUESTIONER: Apart from debt relief and poverty reduction, the communique is completely silent on asking the industrialized countries to provide duty free, quota free market access to the exports of the least developed countries that face a great burden in the international trading system. Is there any plan to ask these countries to provide market access for their exports?
MR. BROWN: The IMFC communique issued earlier is not silent on these issues. It raises these issues. And, of course, these are issues that are subject to debate in the WTO and in other organizations.
MR. FISCHER: I'm not sure whether anybody will ask the right question. So let me just mention that the Fund got very good news today about our ability to finance part of the HIPC Initiative. There was a need borrow money from some of our members so that we could lend it in the HIPC Initiative and in the PRGF. And we today were told by both Germany and France each that they would each be willing to provide a billion SDR's, which means we have two billion out of the total four billion as the loan resources for the PRGF.
These very generous contributions are loans in which SDR interest rates will be paid. Nonetheless they are very critical contributions to the success of the PRGF. And I think everybody who supports the cause of debt relief should be grateful to them for what they have done.
QUESTIONER: Can you say something about the problem of funding from another large country, the United States, whether that's likely to be overcome soon and whether that's inhibited any future proposals for extending the debt relief initiative?
MR. BROWN: I think Mr. Summers has made it clear that this is one of the priorities for the President, that is, secure the funding for the initiative from Congress.
QUESTIONER: Just a point of clarification. In the communique you talk about welcoming steps to accelerate the process, flexibility in accessing a country's track record which should bring forward--which should help to bring forward countries originally expected next year. Does that mean that by January 2001 you expect more than twenty countries to have received debt relief under HIPC; in other words, over the twenty, No. 1?
MR. BROWN: Were both questions for me or just the second one?
MR. DAWSON: If this hole has run dry, then I will call the press conference to an end.

People always make fun of the San Fernando Valley, and sometimes rightly so. There are definitely not the restaurants & retail stores that there are on the LA side. The positive side is that for the most part it's not nearly as congested, that is except for the 101-405 interchange.
The main drawback to me to living in the Valley has always been a lack of good places to work out. Being really into yoga, boot camp, spinning, etc, I'll drive a long way just to find a good class. A good yoga class has always been next to impossible to find in the Valley. Well that's not the case any longer.
Two years ago I wanted to improve my own yoga practice, so I got certified to teach, by Subhadra Bowman aka "the Yoga Nazi." The training gave me a great appreciation for what it takes to be a great teacher as opposed to just a competent one. I've found three different studios (all west of Laurel Canyon) where the teachers all rock. So far these yoga studios are the only thing I really like west of Laurel Canyon Blvd other than the Boneyard Bistro and Carnival Restaurant.
Angel City Yoga has been around for over 15 years. It was the only place in the Valley with really good classes in the 90's. I regard Kevin O'Kane, the owner, as a yoga institution in the area. He still teaches there regularly. I've taken from a number of teachers there over the years, including my first class with the legendary, late Frank White (who I considered the "Yoga Marine). Classes include vinyasa, hatha, pre-natal, kundalini, restorative, etc. Metered street parking is easily available. For a schedule of classes and more info go to www.angelcityyoga.com, 12408 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604, (818) 788-9642.
Black Dog Yoga has been around for quite a while too. Peter Barnett, the owner, teaches some really great classes on a regular basis. Some of the teachers may be young in chronological years, but don't let that fool you, as they are all top notch. Dice is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I think he must be re-incarnation of some ancient master. I've also taken Ashtanga with Hanna, who for me, has that unique ability to direct me into really opening my body, while making it seem effortless. Classes include anusara, flow, restorative and ashtanga. There is a large lot, so parking is a breeze. For a schedule of classes and more info got to www.blackdogyoga.net, 4454 Van Nuys Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403, (818) 380-0331.
Rising Lotus Yoga saved my sanity a couple years ago when I was going through a lot of personal challenges. The owners, Claire Hartley and Daniel Stewart are not only great teachers, they are splendid human beings. I wouldn't be surprised if they both walk on water. I've spent the most time at this studio in the past few years, so this one is most personal to me. The "community" here is very friendly and they'll always find room for another yoga mat. It is a very simple, positive, environment in which everyone feels welcome. I've been to over a dozen teachers and really grooved with all of them. I'm always amazed at how much yoga gets done at this studio. I've rushed in there completely stressed many times and left in a state of complete serenity. I did my own personal, "30 day yoga challenge", which I highly recommend. Classes include flow, iyengar, therapeutic and pre-natal. There is easy, metered, street parking available. For a schedule of classes and more info go to www.risinglotusyoga.com, 13557 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423, (818) 990-0282.
Be sure to ask about introductory class packets, as many studios have introductory offers for new students. Will be checking out studios in others areas of the Valley and will report on them soon. Until then, Namaste.

Hope United Methodist Church choir members donated individually-packed bags containing a wide variety of personal hygiene items and toys for use by patients families to the Ronald McDonald room at Bayhealth Kent General.
After the choir decided to pursue an outreach project this spring, members explored several options and eventually settled on the Ronald McDonald House.
"We are incredibly grateful for this donation, which will allow us to make our patient families more comfortable as they care for their children," said Bayhealth Volunteer Coordinator Sharon Conley.

Los Angeles is due for more rain and gardeners should take advantage of it.
Prepare for a rainfall beforehand by purchasing lawn weed and feed products, fertilizers and treatments for plants and vegetables. When the forecast calls for wet weather, apply the products in the suggested quantities on the package. Lightly water and then let nature take care of the rest.
Nature's watering system beats anything a gardener can do anytime. Even the most avid worker cannot water well enough to get moisture where it is needed the way a very short rainfall can. Watering deep creates a deep root system. A deep root system makes a very healthy and green lawn.
This region is prone to dryness. Feeding lawns and plants usually requires a great effort in getting enough water to their roots. One of the greatest dangers to lawns is fertilizing and not applying enough water, which results in thatch. Thatch is a layer of thick, dead roots that prevent water from penetrating beneath it. Once it sets in, only scalping or digging will remove it.
Using any nutrient booster on plants, fruits and vegetables also requires an abundance of moisture. Not using enough causes vegetables to bolt (go to seed), fruits actually shrivel and flowers either do not grow to their full potential and/or scorch.
For green growers, apply dried molasses or sugar on grasses. Dried molasses is fed to horses and is found at feed stores. Plain sugar works really well. Applying either of them stimulates a micro-system of vital nutrients. See this discussion, http://en.allexperts.com/q/Lawns-725/Weed-Seed.htm for more information. The best time to apply is right before it rains, so the water can carry them down deep to get that micro-system evenly spread.
If these tasks are carried out while the soil is still moist, plants, lawns and trees will suffer less during a dry spell.

My photography will be featured in a photography exhibit at the Mesquite Arts Center in Mesquite, Texas during the month of April, 2011.
There will be an artist's reception held on Saturday, April 16 from 4:30-6:30.
I would like to thank Mike Templeton and his staff for their expertise in putting this gallery showing together. It was a great honor to be asked to exhibit in this fine facility.
Critical care nursing is my profession, but photography is my passion. Love being able to capture a moment in time and now through technology, I can share it with you. I particularly like cooking as well as travel. Especially like traveling to France and am happiest when I have a camera in my hands. I have two grown daughters, three grandbabies and live with my husband and two very spoiled pugs, Barnum and Mollie Sue.

Bright, shocking colors are spring 2004's hallmarks. But what styles will these fab flavors adorn?
Carolyn Moss, fashion editor of The Tobe Report (the bible of the fashion industry), predicts that "preppy with a twist" and "girly feminine" will be hot styles, driven by an interest in leaving behind jeans, business suits and business casualwear in favor of fun, frivolous and flirty silhouettes.
"Dressing up is slowly coming back," Moss says. "Women may not do it every day, but they might dress up once or twice a week, and the best way to get back into it is adding soft details."
In Northeast Ohio,˛racks from Nordstrom to Target are full of styles that celebrate the softer sex. Ribbons, ruffles, embroidery, silk flowers, uneven hemlines and flouncing fabrics are everywhere.
The continuing popularity of Chanel influences many of these designs, Moss says. Chanel's unconstructed silhouettes and bouclé fabrics translate well across all grades of fabric, size and style. "The Chanel look is very feminine and it has all the cachet of high style, whether it's trimmed with fringe, braided trim or embroidery," observes Moss, who adds that the trend should continue through fall/winter 2004.
Ωhose of you who recall "The Preppy Handbook" will want to revisit the fashion chapter for spring 2004's "preppy with a twist" trend. "It's not the same old boxy polo shirts you remember," Moss says. "The tops are more tapered, slimmer and feminized with softer fabrics."
üocally, you'll find grosgrain belts, lots of pink with green, seersucker suits, madras shorts and espadrille pumps. High-end retailers Anthropologie at Eton, Knuth's in Pepper Pike and Rocky River, and Sweet Threads in Solon all embrace the trend for spring. Many local department stores and specialty boutiques also carry duds with an '80s flavor.
Similarly, the trench coat is on the hip rebound. Once again, it's not the traditional mackintosh of days gone by, but an updated, high-fashion rendition of the classic. "Last season, we saw a lot of interest in alternative jackets and the trench coat is the result of that popularity," Moss says. She adds that designers are turning out trench coats with novelty detailing such as embroidery, prints and plaid fabrics in a variety of lengths.
Locally, you'll find hip trench coats at Nordstrom, The Gap, Kaufmann's, Target and Dillard's, among many others.

Deshaun Thomas, playing perhaps his final home game for No. 14 Ohio State, scored 19 points Sunday to lead the Buckeyes to a 68-55 victory over Illinois, keeping alive their hopes of a Big Ten title tie.

Senior Cairo Santos was tabbed to the All C-USA Preseason First Team and named the 2013 C-USA Preseason Special Teams Player of the Year.
July 17, 2013
New Orleans - Tulane senior placekicker Cairo Santos has been named the 2013 Conference USA Preseason Special Teams Player of the Year, and the Green Wave trio of Santos, senior wide receiver Ryan Grant and sophomore cornerback Lorenzo Doss were each selected to the All C-USA Preseason First Team, as it was announced today by the C-USA office following vote by the league's head coaches.
Tulane's three selections tied Rice for the fourth-most by one team, but the Green Wave and Tulsa were the only two schools to place a player on offense, defense and special teams.
Santos won the 2012 Lou Groza Award with the first 21-for-21 field goal season in FBS history and was named a consensus All-American after leading the team in points scored (89) and hitting 26-of-27 on PATs. He was 12-for-12 from 40-plus yards, including 2-for-2 from 50-plus yards. Santos, who was selected to the 2013 Lou Groza Award Watch List, connected on a then-school record 54 yarder vs. ULM on Sept. 29 before eclipsing that with a 57-yard boot vs. Rice on Nov. 3.
A native of Brazilia, Brazil, Santos claimed first-team All-America honors from the Associated Press, Football Writers Associated of America, Sports Illustrated and Phil Steele Publications while garnering first-team All C-USA and All-Louisiana recognition. Santos tied an NCAA Division I record in field goal percentage while becoming just the second player in DI-FBS to finish perfect with 20-plus field goal attempts.
Grant, who was named to the 2013 Biletnikoff Award Preseason Watch List on Tuesday, is one of 22 returning Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) wide receivers to compile 1,000 yards last season. As a redshirt-junior in 2012, the Beaumont, Texas native, claimed first-team All-Conference USA honors by the league office and Phil Steele Publications, as well as second-team All-Louisiana, after leading the team with 76 catches, 1,149 receiving and all-purpose yards, and six touchdown grabs. He paced C-USA and sat 16th nationally in receiving yards per game (95.75) and his yardage total ranks fifth in Tulane single-season history.
Grant enters his final collegiate season ranking sixth in Tulane history with nine 100-yard receiving games, eighth with 14.54 yards per catch, 11th with 1,730 receiving yards and 13th with 12 touchdown catches.
A native New Orleanian, Doss played in all 12 games with nine starts last season as a true freshman and claimed C-USA All-Freshman and honorable-mention All C-USA honors. He led the team with five interceptions - the most ever by a Tulane freshman and a number which ranks seventh in Green Wave single-season history - while finishing tied for second with a fumble recovery, seventh with 44 tackles (33 solo, 11 assists) and tied for seventh with a pair of pass break-ups.
He ranked tied for second in the conference and tied for 13th with 0.42 interceptions per game, and was named Louisiana co-Defensive Player of the Week after picking off a pair of passes and tallying a career-high six tackles (3 solo, 3 assists) vs. UAB on Oct. 27.
The Green Wave opens the 2013 campaign on Friday, Aug. 29, when its hosts to Jackson State at 7 p.m. in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. For season ticket information, contact the Tulane University Athletics Ticket Office at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or on the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com. Tickets can also be purchased in person by stopping by the ticket office on the first floor of the James W. Wilson, Jr. Center.

Volunteering in 2010
January 28, 2011
From September 2009 to September 2010, the volunteer rate declined by 0.5 percentage point to 26.3 percent. The volunteer rate of women decreased from 30.1 percent to 29.3 percent, while the volunteer rate for men was essentially unchanged at 23.2 percent.
In the year ending in September 2010, 35- to 44-year-olds were the most likely to volunteer (32.2 percent of the population). Persons aged 16 to 24 were the least likely to volunteer (18.4 percent). Married persons volunteered at a higher rate (32.0 percent) than did those who had never married (20.3 percent).
From September 2009 to September 2010, men and women tended to engage in different main activities for their main organization—the organization for which the volunteer worked the most hours during the year. Men who volunteered were most likely to engage in general labor (11.5 percent); coach, referee, or supervise sports teams (10.2 percent); or fundraise (9.3 percent). Female volunteers were most likely to fundraise (12.1 percent); tutor or teach (11.5 percent); or collect, prepare, distribute, or serve food (11.4 percent).
These data were collected through a supplement to the September 2010 Current Population Survey (CPS). For a variety of information on volunteering, see "Volunteering in the United States, 2010," (HTML) (PDF) news release, USDL 11-0084.

Design company Aarikka appoints new CEO
How it all began
It all began with buttons. And it all sprang from a real need: Kaija Aarikka, then a student at the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki, was unable to find any buttons to go with a dress she had designed. So she made them herself. The story of her distinctive, eye-catching buttons soon had a sequel in jewellery. And February 24, 1954 went down as the day that Aarikka was born.
Round shapes appealed to Kaija Aarikka from the very beginning. The buttons and wooden trinkets were followed by silver jewellery, candlesticks, toys, giftware and decorations.
Original, bold and natural were the key Aarikka attributes, just as they are today. We are still inspired by spherical shapes, and other key elements in Aarikka products are vividness, coziness and joy.
Take a tour around the Aarikka museum! In our virtual museum, we have collected intriguing and good-humoured excerpts from the past: newspaper and magazine articles, advertisements, product images, and stories from along the road of Aarikka and Finnish design, over a period of more than six decades. Many of the museum's pieces awaken memories and experiences of recognition, but do you remember the brass waistcoat from the 1960s or the silver tie from the 1970s? Or what about the Palloshakki chess game or the mobile phone stand?
We want the globe to stay round. Which is why our production methods and materials are guided by a respect for nature.
Aarikka wants to bring joy and inspiration:
Wherever you are, and wherever you go, make the Aarikka story come alive. If it´s cold and grey, light a warm little flame and jingle some round wooden beads. Give your friends a silver sparkle and a wealth of form. For that is where joy lives and thrives.
(Advertisement, 1969)

It's time for a new Mike Posner track, everyone! Specifically, this single from upcoming album Sky High. Until now, Mike's been known primarily for four things: attending Duke University, getting access to weirdly good instrumentals, having a distinctive voice (whether in a good or bad way is your call) and–well, I can't put it better than writer Zach Lyon did: "Has there ever been a male pop singer so bent on writing songs about nearly, almost, maybe having sex?" (Perhaps that's why he's not so keen on his friends co-opting said songs for said purpose.)
All this is an elaborate way of saying that Mike Posner's new single both sounds a lot like his old stuff and is actually called "Looks Like Sex." We really can't say anything else. Listen below:
The first thing you'll notice about "Looks Like Sex"–well, first thing you'll notice while listening to it–is that it sounds great, as is typical. Whoever's behind the production has probably been listening to "I'm On One," if the synths keening behind the verses are any indication, and the beat is more than sturdy enough. As an instrumental–we're counting Mike Posner's voice as an instrument here; if it irritated you before, there's a chance it won't here–the single's admirable.
But then there's the other thing, the one you've already noticed. The title of the song is "Looks Like Sex," and guess which part of that phrase appears right on the crest of the chorus, is repeated during the remainder of the chorus and–for the final chorus–introduced by a a long pause? (Hint: it isn't "looks." It isn't "like," either. And it's not any kind of nonsense syllable or melisma.) This must be some sort of milestone. God knows how it'll get onto the radio, unless it's replaced with "Jagger" or something.
In case the above was a little too vague, the chorus consists entirely of "she looks like sex, sex, sex, sex." This strikes us as a little underwritten, not to mention more than a little shameless. There's subtext, and then there's being blunt, and then there's delivering your point–in this case, sex–with skywriting, explosions and neon. It's a lyrical issue so glaring, it almost eclipses–but doesn't quite–other foibles like "see that nose ring, might as well be a bull's eye" (don't read too much into this, please) or "I used to pull girls like you back in '09″ or relying too much on heys, oohs and similar filler.
All that said, someone will probably strip "Looks Like Sex" of its words for an instrumental version within the week, so at least something good might come out of it. Or there's always Cher Lloyd.

|Swimming for Charity
The Idaho Swimming and Diving team dove into the pool on Sunday to help raise money for the Breaststroke 4 Hope Organization. The event was held at the UI Swim Center where the athletes and many others swam, gathered donations, and sold pink Speedo gear to raise the money.
"It's a great cause and something that we are very proud to be a part of and feel very privileged to get behind," Coach Sowa said.
The Breaststroke 4 Hope Organization works to help women who are at risk for breast cancer but cannot afford to get screened. The organization goes into these at risk places and offers them available screening for those who are at risk.
The Breaststroke 4 Hope Organization was founded by Taryn Gerson, the daughter of Jim Gerson, president of Speedo and an alum of the College of Business here at the University of Idaho. Taryn teamed up with the Idaho swim and Dive team as well as greek Fraternities and Sororities to raise over $1,000 during the event. The UI Bookstore also contributed by selling pink Speedo Merchandise."It was a blast and we're hoping to make this a tradition here," Sowa said.

In Mali Islamist rebels in the north made further advances, seizing the strategic town of Douentza. Meanwhile, the murder of a group of unarmed Muslim preachers in southern town Diabaly mid-month risks sparking a sectarian backlash and raises fears that the army, already showing signs of deep divisions and instability, may be splintering. ECOWAS pledged to send a 3,300-strong force to reclaim the north and secure the transitional government. But without measures to reduce Mali's inter-communal tensions and address northern grievances a military approach could backfire. The upheaval in Mali threatens to escalate further and endangers regional stability.
In Syria the level of violence and the numbers killed and displaced continued to climb. The new UN/Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi met with interlocutors on both sides and Egypt launched a regional initiative aimed at ending the crisis. But amid international deadlock, an end to the escalating civil war still looks remote. As the regime stepped up military and aerial bombing campaigns against major cities and areas controlled by the opposition Free Syrian Army, a UN Human Rights Council-mandated commission reported that "gross violations of human rights" by regime forces and militias had significantly increased. Opposition groups also stand accused of human rights abuses.
Azerbaijan's pardon and promotion of Ramil Safarov, a soldier convicted of murdering an Armenian soldier during a NATO training event in Hungary in 2004, dealt a further blow to the already faltering Nagorno-Karabakh peace process. The amnesty raised tensions and sparked another bout of harsh rhetoric between the two countries, with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan again declaring his country ready for war with Azerbaijan. The EU, U.S. and NATO all condemned the pardon and expressed concern about its implications for the region.
The Japanese government's purchase of the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands in the East China Sea caused a bilateral crisis between Japan and China, which also claims sovereignty over the islands. Beijing struck back by publishing territorial sea baselines encircling the islands, deploying patrol vessels and fishing boats, staging military exercises, threatening economic sanctions and cancelling a high-level event celebrating forty years of Japan-China diplomatic ties. Dozens of Chinese cities saw mass anti-Japan protests.
Tension is rising in Venezuela ahead of what could be a tight presidential election next week between incumbent Hugo Chávez and opposition candidate Henrique Capriles. Two opposition activists were killed at a campaign rally at the end of the month, raising fears of further violence during the vote and its aftermath.
In neighbouring Colombia, the peace process launched last month seems to be gathering pace, despite persistent hostilities between FARC and the government. Both sides reiterated their commitment to talks, and are expected to meet for a first round of negotiations in October.

The Seward County Lady Saints picked up some momentum for the upcoming Region VI Tournament on Thursday by beating down the Colby Lady Trojans 7-3 and 13-4 in a doubleheader to improve to 43-11 overall on the year.
The Lady Saints wasted no time getting their bats going in game one of the twinbill as their first three hitters of the 1st inning picked up hits including a two RBI double from Becky Allen to quickly give them a 2-0 lead. Later in the inning a Colby error gave Seward their third run of the frame and with two outs in the inning a single from Tiffanie Bolanos drove home another to make it 4-0 before Colby even had a chance to hit.
The Lady Trojans didn't get down though and used a pair of walks followed by a three run home run to get right back in the game 4-3.
Seward responded with another run in the 2nd as Andrea Sitter singled to lead off the second straight inning and stole second before coming home on an RBI single from Pokey Ewell to make it 5-3 Lady Saints.
The Lady Saints stretched their lead to 7-3 in the 3rd as a pair of singles started the inning and a Colby error and a sacrifice fly pushed the two runs home to give Seward the four run advantage.
Both teams had their scoring chances the next couple of innings as Colby left six on in their next three at bats and Seward left five on as the game remained 7-3 into the bottom of the 6th.
Colby made some more noise in the bottom of the 6th, putting two on with one out, but a caught stealing killed their threat and the Lady Saints remained in front 7-3.
Seward was unable to add an insurance run in the 7th, but they wouldn't need it as Colby managed just a lone single in the bottom of the inning as Katelyn Craker slammed the door with a strikeout and a pair of groundouts to seal the 7-3 win for the Lady Saints.
Seward pounded out 13 hits in the victory and seven of nine starters had at least one hit in the win. Ewell finished 3 for 4 with a run scored while Sitter was 2 for 4 with 2 stolen bases and 2 runs scored at the top of the lineup. Craker earned her 20th win of the season for the Lady Saints in the circle as she went the distance for Seward, allowing 6 hits and 3 runs while striking out 5.
SEWARD COUNTY/COLBY GAME ONE BOX SCORE<http://www.sewardsaints.com/sports/sball/2013-14/files/SewardColby4241.pdf>
It took a little while longer for the action to pick up in game two of the doubleheader as Seward and Colby both went without a hit through their first two at bats, but the Trojans were able to use a walk and a wild pitch to manufacture a run in the 2nd to take a 1-0 lead.
The Lady Saints responded by picking up their first two hits of the game in the 3rd followed by a Colby error to tie the game at 1. Following the defensive miscue, Seward took advantage by getting an RBI single from Marissa Chavez to score two more to make it 3-1 Lady Saints at the end of 3.
Seward added to their lead in the 4th as Joe Ann Rapoza singled and Vanessa Oakden launched a two run home run to make it 5-1. Later in the frame another Colby error cost them a run to make it a 6-1 game.
Lady Saints starter Jaclyn Wagner took a no hitter into the 4th, but a walk followed by a two run home run ended that bid as Colby cut the Seward lead in half to 6-3.
Seward loaded the bases in the 5th but were unable to score as a groundout killed that threat, but a refocused Wagner struck out a pair and kept it a 6-3 game with a scoreless frame in the bottom of the inning.
The Lady Saints 6th inning started with back to back doubles from Felisha Vogelaar and Sitter to score a run and an error by Colby in the outfield made it an 8-3 game in favor of Seward. Allen grounded out forcing home another Lady Saints run and with the bases clear, Chavez hit a solo shot to left to blow the game open to 10-3.
While the Lady Trojans weren't hitting Wagner, her control was suspect, and after two more walks in the 6th, Colby was again able to score without the benefit of a hit to cut the Lady Saints lead to 10-4.
In the top of the 7th Seward scored three more insurance runs on RBI knocks from Ewell, Allen, and Chavez to open things up to 13-4 and Wagner worked around a one out walk in the 7th to post a scoreless frame to give the Lady Saints a 13-4 win.
The Lady Saints finished with 14 hits in the contest while Colby managed just a single hit against Wagner. Chavez had a big game, missing the cycle by just a triple as she was 3 for 4 with 4 RBI's and Sitter was 3 for 5 with a double and 2 RBI's. In the win Ewell was 2 for 5 and has now hit in 18 straight games for the Lady Saints. Wagner went the distance in the circle for Seward to earn her 5th victory of the season. The freshman righthander allowed just 1 hit, the home run in the 4th, and 2 earned runs while striking out 5.
SEWARD COUNTY/COLBY GAME TWO BOX SCORE<http://www.sewardsaints.com/sports/sball/2013-14/files/SewardColby4242.pdf>
The Lady Saints improve 43-11 on the year, marking their most wins since the 2010 season. Seward is now 10-4 in Jayhawk West action. Colby falls to 11-32 overall and 3-13 in Jayhawk West play.
Colby will quickly turn from Seward enemies to the Lady Saints fan club on Friday as Seward wraps up their 2014 Jayhawk West slate against Barton. If Seward beats Barton twice, Colby and Barton will tie for 4th place in the Jayhawk West, if Barton nips the Lady Saints that will put Colby last in the conference standings. The Lady Saints have already secured their 2nd place finish in the Jayhawk West race. They will play Garden City in the opening round of the Region VI Tournament next Saturday in Wichita.

If that thing hit us it wouldn't be the apocalypse, but we'd certainly know about it.
The meteorites that reach the ground might well be smaller than 25m in diameter, AFTER they have passed the atmosphere.
probably because they were a lot bigger before they hit Earth
...what they meant to teach you is that sub 25 meter stony asteroids would, at worst, break up whilst passing through our atmosphere if not, at best, be completely disintegrated by it and leaving no discernible trace for us plebs whatsoever. If it just breaks up then any surviving fragments would, by nature, be smaller than 25 meters.
That's how I interpreted things in relation to your comment anyway.
as super-25-meter asteroids, and burn up the difference on entry.
So, need any more blatantly obvious stuff pointed out?
Before they hit the atmosphere, doofus.
Flames, you know why.
Presumably they were larger before the outer layers were toasted.
I suspect that those sub 25 metre (not meter, as you say) started as >25 metre asteroids before our atmosphere subjected them to some extreme weight-loss
....for a minute.
My guess would be that they started out bigger than 25m and burned off some mass on the way down.
I'm sure that even bigger than 25m, they could not be as dense as you.
Presumably thay were greater then 25m before entering the atmosphere.
A bit scary that this asteridwas discovered only 3 days ago. Not much warning.
How about that the ones that make it through have a different compostion; or that they were bigger than 25meters before hitting the atmosphere and were burned down to less than 25meters?
It's not rocket surgery!
...those asteroids were bigger than 25 meters when they first hit the atmosphere.
Perhaps they started bigger than that...
What about all the sub 25 M ones on the ground ?
Who knows, im stumped.
Or maybe before they hit our atmosphere they were 26 metre ones that nearly burnt up.
Just a thought.
The meteorites which are found on the ground begin their descent through the atmosphere as much larger rocks. What hits the ground is only what's left after the atmosphere has burned away large amounts of its original mass.
But I still think it's a Quagaaar escape pod.
Meteorites that a larger than the suggested 25 metres will not burn up in entirety. Therefore you will be left with a rock mass in the lower atmosphere and landing on the surface. Small meteorites on the ground suggest that the original incoming meteor would have been just a bit bigger than 25 metres. (OK, that's ignoring density and angle of flight, for starters, but the principle is correct)
Very small particles decelerate rapidly when hitting the atmosphere and are structurally robust enough that they just filter down through the air as meteoritic dust. Really big objects - think house size and above, are so massive in comparison to their surface area that they hardly decelerate at all and hit with their original velocity.
For objects between these sizes all sorts of things can happen. generally, the smaller and denser the object the more likely it is to reach the surface; however, relatively large (several metres across) stony meteorites (or the bizarre carbonaceous chondrites) tend to disintegrate through deceleration in the upper atmosphere and very little survives to hit the ground, or what lands is a shower of fragments.T =he vast majority of meteorites are made from stone, however, almost all the largest meteorites are made from structurally resilient iron/nickel.
There's been quite a lot of excitement recently caused by the release of classified data showing that relatively large objects are ploughing into the upper atmosphere and exploding on a quite regular basis. And when I say exploding - I mean think multi kiloton explosions:
I'm gob smacked by the amount of commentard idiocy going on here, the quote said UNDER 25m, UNDER as in LESS THAN not MORE THAN, duh
Meteorites that burn up in the atmosphere are commonly known as Shooting Stars and are no bigger than grains of sand.
Anything even remotely near 25m in size is not going to "burn up" in the atmosphere in a million years, even something a couple of cm in diameter is likely to reach the surface of the earth.
A stony asteroid of up to 25m is likely to break into bits on the way down because of the forces acting on it as it decelerates. These smaller bits would cause much less damage than one big one but would cause havoc if over a populated area.
So the statement "stony asteroids under 25 meters in diameter would be expected to burn up in our atmosphere" is completely off the mark.
Yes, the quote said "under", which is why so many people tried to explain why objects *over* 25m across might not be completely reduced to smoke before they reach the ground. I don't find that idiotic, though I confess I was rather amused at the *number* of such replies.
Your assertion that "even something a couple of cm in diameter is likely to reach the surface of the earth" conflicts with the received wisdom (NASA guy) and the more widespread knowledge that even something as slow-moving as an orbiting spacecraft (typically smaller than 25m and travelling at only around 15-25000 mph) require *very* careful design to avoid burning up. Care to substantiate it?
No problem, the care and design that goes into an orbiting spacecraft is to ensure that upon re-entry, the occupants remain alive and not spread over a large area. Not really a concern for an asteroid.
If you really believe that any asteroid entering the atmosphere which is less than 25 meters in diameter burns up before reaching the surface, then to be honest you have no real grasp of what we are talking about so I can see why you perceive the utterings of some NASA PR drone to be wisdom.
So you have no real clue. I am fine with that.
For the record - it will really depend on material type (rock vs. snow), material structure (solid vs agglomeration vs fractured). Further different solid rocks will have different burns rates depending angle of attack and shape...
So the 25 m is a rough scale size below which one typically does not worry.
OK, start with the drag equation for high Reynolds number (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation) and plug in the numbers for a 25m lump of rock entering the atmosphere at 10km/s. If it doesn't slow down before it reaches the lower atmosphere, where the density is about 1 kg/m3, it will be met with about 10^10N of drag, which will do work at 10^14 Nm/s, or 100 terawatts.
Since I *do* have a clue, I know that a better calculation would be to integrate along a vertical trajectory through a model atmosphere. You can try that if you are feeling energetic, but it won't affect the basic conclusion which is that the atmosphere can be fairly approximated by a fucking brick wall for larger objects.
Cor, that were close!
I'd never have been able to picture what was going on without that insightful diagram!
Comes at a time when I'm re-reading this classic.
I haven't read that book in ages but IIRC according to the sequel the second Rama was missed because the Earth was in the grip of a huge financial crisis.
Cue theme from The Twilight Zone
Maybe the asteroids we find on the ground started much bigger than 25m wide?
Meteors do burn up in the atmosphere, mostly. The meteorite is the little bit that's left over.
Also, today's one is likely, if it does ever hit at a later time, to graze the atmosphere obliquely. Plenty of burning up time before it could reach the ground.
Pictures? Will need to look out for The Sky at Night.
of course, they _would_ tell us that, wouldn't they, regardless of if it's actually true
i would run for the hills, but that didn't save the dinosaurs did it?
Only discovered 10th Jan? Good job it's small then!!
..that the lead-time is inversely proportional to the reciprocal of the square of the distance of the object as viewed from arms length in comparison to the size of a hole in a polo mint...or some such formula.
i.e. bigger = more time (I would hope)
PS. The polo-mint inverse square reciprocal law does yield an SI unit (the 'Polo') but was rejected due to trademark infringement.
Todays meteor would have a value of 0.02 Polos (at a guess), with a value of >0.5 polos being one to worry about :-)
Larger meteors being measured in 'Donuts', where 1 donut = 375.2 polos (due to the squaring rule and the variance in sugar coating).
I believe the dinosaurs were wiped out by a donut-meteor.
It feels like Monday to me....sorry.
The T-Rex has notoriously short arms. Therefore, when holding up a donut, I reckon all trexy would have said is Uh-Oh.
I like marshmallows better
Posted in Space, 13th January 2010 12:27 GMT
A diminutive asteroid will today pass within 76,000 miles (122,000 km) of Earth at 12:46 GMT
I'm afraid 19 minutes' warning meant I missed its arrival. It was obviously a giant ball of cotton wool and has hit something, judging by the millions of bits falling all over the place.
Comming that close to earth has got to have changed it's orbit by a mesurable factor?
Doesn't mean it is not a booster stage. Perhaps the aliens who built the pyramids are finally returning to see what we (they?) have wrought.
Or is this supposed to be the one where they team up?
Yeah! all he gotta do is shoot the cigar out of the pesky asteroids mouth.
Good to see that computer graphics have advanced way beyond when I used to play Elite about 25 years ago.
As its 2010, wouldnt this object be more likely to be a large black rectangular block?
NASA publishes a list of what's (known to be) coming our way (or at least, the ones they don't mind us knowing about) at http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/neo/close.html. Only yesterday a 1.6km lump (which would make quite a mess of this planet) came pretty damn close, in astronomical terms. How we've managed to survive this long, god alone knows.
the composition of the asteroid is not stony, but metallic (andyman has a valid point here)? A sub 20 metre metallic asteroid (actually it would become a meteorite wouldn't it?) would still pack a wallop... provided that subsequent gravitational tugs on it's path by sun, earth, etc would put it on a collision course with Earth at some later stage.
our tiny planetoid overlords.
If it's going to cross the orbit of the moon in 22 hours, that's about 5km per second (rough reckoning), which means it's going like sh*t off a shovel.
What's all this 25 meter tosh.
Surely you mean "the size of a LONDON BUS"
I didn't realise that buses in London were different in size to the rest of the UK - you learn something new every day.
It's just the Vogons come to build an interstellar bypass.
They seem a day early however.
Have your towel at hand.

Suppose there is a material with heavy nuclei attached on its surface, presumably binded by the outer shell electrons. Now, the surface is exposed to a cold positron gas, which annihilates against some of these outer shell electrons.
What might happen with the heavy nuclei? do they have to become free from the material surface? can they become binded by inner shell electrons?
Also, i presume that as the positron gas annihilates the outer shell electrons, and further assuming that the heavy nuclei remain attached somehow to the surface, these heavy nuclei will increase their effective charge, so there might be an equilibrium condition where the repulsion of the heavy nuclei wards off the positron gas from further annihilating against the inner core electrons. Can this be validated heuristically? Is it just a plain wrong assumption?

Brillante Mendoza, "Tirador" (2007).
I guess I can't say I was terribly thrilled with Brillante Mendoza's acclaimed Tirador (Slingshot), the winner of the Best Director and Best Picture awards at the Gawad Urian and the Singapore Film Festival, the recipient of the Caligari award at the Berlin International Film Festival, and a Special Jury award at the Marrakech International Film Festival. A movie about the ordinary misfortunes of the residents of a Quiapo slum, Tirador is a well-executed, prolonged snort of rotting garbage.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with this slice of Third World truthiness, and I hasten to add here that I'm not in that camp of Filipino naysayers, almost always located outside of the Philippines, who constantly lose sleep about the country's image overseas. (See Mauro Tumbocon's review, where he puts one of those complainers in their place very nicely.) But forgive me if I do detect a strong, redolent whiff of slum-porn, particularly in a sequence when Angela Ruiz (winner of the Gawad Urian award for Best Supporting Actress) loses her hard-earned dentures in a canal practically overflowing with shit. It's grim comedy, and there are dollops of that black humor (and dollops of baby turds, come to think of it) in Tirador. But when Mendoza has the balls to zoom in for the money shot – Ruiz crying toothlessly while her baby-daddy scoops up a fistful of gray chunky sewage in vain – one has to wonder about the necessity of all this gratuitousness. ("There but for the grace of God," the international critics mutter to themselves, and promptly check their ballot boxes.)
I did like Tirador's visual style, which zips with a frenzied, urban energy. The film begins with a police raid by flashlight, and Mendoza's flailing, spinning digital camera excitingly captures this underworld and its inhabitants with brio: pickpockets, prostitutes, purse snatchers, hustlers, fences, copper wire thieves, scammers, shoplifters, junkies, DVD pirates, and so on, from one barong-barong to another, the assumption being that these are all otherwise ordinary people struggling to make ends meet. The quick cuts mirror the intertwined, chopped-up narratives; the overlapping dialogue is reminiscent of an Altman film run riot. (Folks were asking me and Barb to translate the inadequate subtitles, but it's hard when everyone is talking at the same time.)
But despite Tirador's blurring into cinema verite, it doesn't stand still long enough for Mendoza's minute anthropological observations to sink in – something his more patient, quietly moving film Foster Child (2007) was able to accomplish gracefully. (Forgive the snarkiness in the second paragraph, by the way, but I couldn't help but think that Foster Child was docked a few points by critics because a) it features an obviously cute kid, and b) it dares to conclude with a tearjerker of an ending, but it's a more compassionate and humanist film, very different from Mendoza's dispassionate eye on the miscreants of Tirador.)
The events in Tirador unspool during Holy Week, between Palm Sunday and Easter. It's also the eve of citywide elections in Manila, and so vote-buying is in earnest; election campaign posters show up in almost every other frame – in alleys, on jeepneys, on tricycle sidecars, in living rooms. (I was thinking that the appearance of political posters in people's houses had the same aesthetic function as the half-naked calendar pinups, but someone wisely observed at last night's viewing – it was either Oscar or Frank – that they were probably used to cover up holes in the walls instead.) This election milieu is employed by Mendoza – aided by a Brocka-sized sledgehammer – to drive the point home that politicians, policemen, and priests are just as "immoral" as our mischievous protagonists, and he does it again and again. We got it the first time, honestly. Tirador may provide an antidote from the burnished poverty of, for instance, Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, but rubbing the audience's noses in it isn't particularly welcome either.
[For another take, see Francis Cruz's review in Lessons from the School of Inattention.]
My big takeaway– Wherever this is happening, I don't want to be there.
Which is an awful thing to say but Tirador doesn't give me one good thing to hold on to and say "Ok, these are people who are just trying to get by and life/politics/the City get in the way." Instead I'm given, "Not only are poor people bad, but they do everything they can to make their situation even worse and there is no sense in trying to save them."
On the flip side, I am appreciating how the narrative revolves around Quiapo itself and not any one person in particular and how this is rendered with Mendoza's insanely long and intricate single take shots in (what I'm assuming) is Quiapo. One take in particular started on one story line, went down through the building, follows a basketball game, then deftly starts off a new story line and without a hitch.
If this had been the story of at least one family, one crew of Jammers (that's the name for Flip B-boys, right?), even if it all at least happened in one day, it might have let me take a deeper look into the systematic poverty of Quiapo and walked away caring a bit more for it as not just a slum but as a real home to real folks.
Ha! Slum porn!
doesn't tirador ask what the connection between the religious and the political is in slum hopes–think kubrador, insiang, la visa loca? the very materiality of the political campaign become material for survival and the space/milieu: clearly we don't want to be there. no surprise that people want to leave. but then, who is the tirador aimed at? clearly there are no "people" here, just un-merciless situationist imagery–porn without the enjoyment. do we really want to watch that?

UCLA Game Notes | Stanford Game Notes
Sunday, Feb. 17
12:35 p.m. PT
No. 4 Stanford (23-2, 12-1) at No. 15/16 UCLA (19-5, 10-3)
Online Coverage:

No. 15/16 UCLA (19-5, 10-3 Pac-12) hosts another top 10 team on Sunday when No. 4/5 Stanford (23-2, 12-1) visits Pauley Pavilion for a nationally televised game on ESPNU. The Bruins and the Cardinal will tip-off at 12:35 p.m.
After posting two road wins last week at Washington (65-61) and Washington State (80-65), the UCLA Bruins moved up two spots to No. 15 in the AP Top 25 Poll and one spot to No. 16 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. UCLA moved up three spots to No. 12 in the NCAA Women's Basketball RPI (NCAA.com). The Bruins have been ranked at least one week in both polls in each of the past four seasons.
This is the 75th meeting between UCLA and Stanford with the Cardinal leading the series 52-22. Stanford has won the last 14 meetings overall. Stanford posted a lop-sided win at the Wooden Center in Los Angeles last year, defeating the Bruins 77-50 on Dec. 31, 2011. Both of the Ogwumike sisters had double-doubles with Nnemkadi posting 18 points and 10 rebounds and Chiney adding 15 points and 11 boards to lead the Cardinal. Rebekah Gardner led UCLA with 17 points and six rebounds. In this year's earlier meeting in the Bay Area, Chiney Ogwumike had 25 points and 13 rebounds to lead No. 6 Stanford past No. 14 UCLA 75-49 on Jan. 18, 2013. Joslyn Tinkle added 16 points and Amber Orrange had 15 for the Cardinal. Alyssia Brewer scored 14 points to lead the Bruins. Thea Lemberger added 12 points and Atonye Nyingifa had 11 for the Bruins, which were held to a season-low 49 points on a season-low 31.4 percent from the field (16-for-51). Stanford also became the first team to shoot better than 50 percent against the Bruins (52.9 percent, 27-for-51 from the floor).
The Bruins will host their 4th Annual Dad's & Daughter's Day this Sunday, Feb. 17 in conjunction with the game against No. 4 Stanford in Pauley Pavilion. Dad's and Daughter's Day consists of a pre-game fair with family-friendly activities that lead into the highly anticipated matchup between the Bruins and the Cardinal. This year, the fair will look a bit different than years past as it has moved inside the confines of Pauley. With games, player autographs, face painting, a photo station and Bruin mascots roaming around the pre-game fair, it will be a great start to a fun-filled and spirited day for Bruin families. Tickets for this event are still available. A $10 package includes a game ticket, a Dad's and Daughter's commemorative t-shirt and admission to the pre-game fair. For more information on the event click here. Purchase your tickets online in advance or in person on Sunday morning at Southeast Pauley Pavilion just outside the fair's entrance.
The UCLA Bruins improved to 3-0 under Head Coach Cori Close in overtime games in her two seasons with last week's 53-52 win in overtime at St. John's (Dec. 16). Last season, the Bruins posted back-to-back overtime wins at Colorado (62-54 on Jan. 29, 2012) and at home versus Washington (79-73 on Feb. 2, 2012).

Alyssia Brewer has seven double-doubles in her first 23 games, which ranks fifth in the Pac-12. Markel Walker has five double-doubles this season, which ranks eighth in the Pac-12. Additionally, the two Bruins have had double-doubles in the same game three times this season. Walker had 17 points and 10 rebounds in the 86-66 win over Loyola Marymount (Dec. 2) while Brewer had 14 points and 11 rebounds against the Lions. Walker later had 15 points and 12 rebounds in the 76-62 win over Saint Mary's (Dec. 15) as Brewer chipped in 12 points and 10 boards against the Gaels. In the loss to Cal State Northridge (Dec. 20), Brewer had 14 points and 12 rebounds with Walker adding 12 points and 12 boards.
Only three of the 13 Bruins have played in all 24 games this season and nobody has started in more than 20 contests, forcing Head Coach Alyssia Brewer missed most (only played three minutes) of the Pepperdine game (Dec. 28) and missed the entire Saint Joseph's game (Dec. 31) with a right ankle sprain. Most recently, Alyssia Brewer for a total of 67:08.

- everlasting blissful happiness and peace on earth
- heaven after death / afterlife
- a metaphorical way to describe that righteousness would be made on earth by the power of the holy spirit, and that Jesus' parables give a sample and foreshadow of what the real Kingdom of God on earth will be like; in order to achieve the Kingdom of God, one must obey his commandments as well as continue the covenants given to Israel before Jesus.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
The Kingdom of God or Heaven literally means the Realm where God dwells.
The Kingdom of God may be divided into two types based on it's establishment.
1. At the First coming of Jesus Christ
When Jesus came to earth as a humble man to suffer and die for us, He's goal was to bring down the Kingdom of God, which was also His role as the promised Messiah. But at His first coming, the Kingdom of God was not to be established physically on earth, which was the expectation of the Jews. Jesus came to establish the Kingdom of God in the hearts of men. Jesus was preparing the people for the coming kingdom, which was to be established soon after He finished His work on the cross. John the Baptist was proclaiming that the Kingdom of God was near.
Jesus started explaining to the people what the Kingdom of God is. He used metaphors like the sower, mustard seed, hidden treasure, weeds, yeast and fishing net (see Matthew 13). But until it was established from the day of Pentecost, which was the beginning of the Church era, it was not fully understood. Therefore, this Church era is the first establishment of Kingdom of God and it's dominion is in the hearts of mankind.
For instance,
Here, Jesus said that the Kingdom of God can start from a single person, which can yield many other believers. Peter was the first man to preach the Gospel on the Day of Pentecost and 3000 people were baptized that day. And the apostles went on to preach everywhere and the number of Christians kept on growing and growing.
2. At the Second coming of Jesus Christ
Jesus will come again with all His glory and power to establish His kingdom physically on earth forever. This present world is in the hands of Satan but when Jesus comes, Satan will be defeated and the eternal physical Kingdom of God will be established on earth forever and ever. Amen.
One is in the Kingdom of God when, as Jesus said, "I and the Father will make our abode[tabernacle] within you."
He said "keep my words."
Which I understand to mean " don't change from what I have taught you to do, and don't mislead people about what I have taught."
The difficulty for people who try to understand Jesus's training by the reading of the the NT, is that so little of what he taught was released to the public. Of the 2,000 + hours of training He gave to the disciples, we got less than 2 hours of His words in the NT. In the Gospel of Mark who, it was said by the Church historians, recorded everything that Peter told him about Jesus "leaving nothing out and adding nothing," we find only 18 minutes of Jesus's sayings were released to the public by the Church in the NT writings. Obviously Mark knew a lot more than that. John said that there weren't enough books in the world to contain what Jesus showed them. So you are at a severe disadvantage if all you know about His training is taken from the English NT. There are some 27 miles of shelving in the Vatican Library about what Jesus taught. There are enough books in English now, for anyone to delve deeper. I have dozens of books from the 2nd through 5th. cents. written by His disciples who explain what He taught.
Below are listed some of the parables about the Kingdom of God and Heaven. It is clear in all of these that the Master was referring to the work of the Church on the earth bringing people into relationships with God through Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is especially clear in Luke 17 and Mark 9. When teaching on the Kingdom of Heaven Jesus always preached it as something which would happen later rather than during his ministry on the earth. The Lord will return one day and physically establish the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth until then the Kingdom of Heaven exists in our hearts and is expressed through our lives.

Verizon-Motorola Droid event promises "the most desirable phone of 2009″
Verizon has just sent out invitations to a Droid event that will be held on October 28 (one week from now).
At this event, Verizon will unveil "the most desirable phone of 2009". Motorola's logo can be seen on the invitation, so the phone is most probably the Motorola Droid (aka Sholes aka Tao).
As you may already know, Verizon has already kicked off the Droid Does campaign aimed at Apple's iPhone and its lack of a real keyboard, its inability to take photos in the dark and so on.
Will the Verizon Moto Droid (which obviously runs Android) indeed be more desirable than the iPhone? Let's wait and see.
