With the juxtaposition of deep water trenches to the west and the Andes mountains on the east, Chile is one of the most geographically and geologically enigmatic places in South America. Spanning nearly 40 degrees of latitude, the country is ten times longer than its widest east to west point. What really makes it shine is its rare display of economic prowess outside of North America and Europe, oil powers like Equatorial Guinea excepted. Chile has forged strong foreign ties all over the earth strengthening its status as a South American economic gem. I myself contribute to its economy through frequent purchases of Chilean wine!
This success is related to its natural resources and ability to mine, process export and responsibly trade. Chile is truly the copper capital of the world, producing about a third of the earth's copper. Just more than a month ago, the world saw some of the forgotten costs of mining when a mine collapsed in Copiapó trapping 33 miners. Those miners remain trapped and it could be months before they are rescued. Today I learned that the mining company that owns the San Jose gold and copper mine is filing papers for bankruptcy. Let's hope the actions of the owners are not as sinister as they appear.
US news agencies widely reports the location of the San Jose mine as "north of Copiapó" or in "northern Chile". I wanted to see what a large gold and copper mine looked like from above. My first search on Google Earth was fruitless but falling back on the good old Google search engine I was able to find the location of the mine at GoGeometry.
The first image is a close up of the San Jose mine. The second shows its location relative to the City of Copiapó.
I find it interesting that the mine, which extracts tons of resources from inside the earth, resembles a scar on the earth's crust.
This isn't Chile's first experience with a long-term rescue. The Associated Press published a great story on survivors of the 1972 plane crash in the Andes carrying the Uruguay rugby team speaking to the trapped miners. While the circumstances are quite different, I think that hearing from someone who has been through such a strenuous ordeal will help.

The Aquarium has been working to better understand and reduce the impact of bycatch on marine animals for decades. During the 1990s, our researchers began the investigate the use of acoustic pingers as a bycatch reduction device in the gillnet fishery. We proved that these pingers reduced the bycatch of harbor porpoises in gillnets by an order of magnitude. These results eventually led to the mandated use of pingers in a number of gillnet fisheries in the US and the technique has spread to other fisheries around the world. It also highlighted the monumental gains in bycatch reduction that could be achieved by having science and industry working in partnership.
Influence by our prior successes, we launched the Consortium for Wildlife Bycatch Reduction in 2005 as a science-industry partnership to reduce bycatch in threatened non-target animals. In addition to the New England Aquarium, the founding members included Blue Water Fishermen's Association, Duke University, Maine Lobstermen's Association and the University of New Hampshire.
The Consortium's goal is to assist the recovery of endangered and threatened species by supporting collaborative research between scientists and the fishing industry that leads to reduced risks of entanglement in commercial or recreational fishing gear. The Consortium's focus is on three primary areas:
Understanding interactions between threatened non-target species and fishing operations
The Consortium for Wildlife Bycatch Reduction is working on research to understand the nature of interactions between endangered non-target species and fishing operations primarily in the northwest Atlantic. These studies have focused on loggerhead sea turtles, pilot whales and the North Atlantic right whale.
Research and development of bycatch reduction approaches
Collaborative research is also underway to develop fishing devices and methods that reduce bycatch of sea turtles and large whales in the Northwest Atlantic.
Facilitating global exchange of information on bycatch reduction technologies
The Consortium developed the Bycatch Reduction Database to facilitate information sharing between scientists, fishermen and fisheries managers.

Bodybuilding Q&A
Q. How often should I train?
A. There are a hundred variations on this question. Usually it's prefaced with "I do cardio three times a week" or "I do intense martial arts training" or "I'm just getting started... so how often should I train?"
The greatest single pitfall that bodybuilders and other athletes fall into is accepting a flat, cookie cutter answer to this question. And I can hear that awful, standard, no-brainer answer now... "You should train three times a week." Bull. If you want to distinguish yourself as a thinker amid a herd of obedient sheep, read on.
The frequency that you, and everybody else, should train with is variable. Not fixed. When you lift weights as a means to develop more muscle, the intensity of your workouts has to progress upward. If it remains at the same intensity, there is no reason for new muscle to grow. Show me a guy who has been lifting three days a week for a year and I'll show you a guy who hasn't changed his physique whatsoever for at least ten months.
If you want to train efficiently and effectively you have to understand the relationship between the ever-increasing intensity of your workouts and the ever-decreasing frequency of those workouts. As an example, when a person is just starting out, he could, indeed, train three times per week performing bench presses and leg presses of, say, 150 pounds and 350 pounds. But he should only lift those weights during one workout.
what about the second workout?On his second workout he might be hoisting 165 and 375 on those two lifts. On his third workout they should increase again. (Or, if he just can't get more weight off the pins, he should be increasing the number of reps he performs. Something must increase.)
But soon a Monday will arrive where he either doesn't feel like going to the gym (a sign of overtraining) or he'll discover that he can't even lift the weights he did last time. He's gotten weaker! When this happens to most bodybuilders, they decide to 'try harder' in the form of more frequent workouts, or switching to a new 'system,' or they head to the supplement store to buy something that promises new muscle from a can.
But all they really need to do is adjust the frequency of their training — allow more time for full recovery by training twice per week for a few weeks. When the problem shows up again, then they need to train once per week or once every ten days, and so on.
What happens on Monday, and a smarter (and easier) way to train...

Obama Looks to Chinese Wine Market; Will Texas be the Next Napa?
The president sees potential in U.S. wine and the emerging Chinese market. "President Obama wants to double U.S. exports within five years. With this in mind he recently sent Commerce Secretary Gary Locke to Hong Kong to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Cooperation in Wine-Related Businesses," writes Mike Veseth in his blog The Wine Economist. Veseth breaks down the topic of how to crack the Chinese wine market: He suggests taking a cue from winemakers of France and Spain, who are leveraging their wines' reputations and partnering with Chinese wine producers for both production and distribution in order to get a foot in the door.

We know that the French love their wine, and now they've found even more reason to. A new study from Paris finds that people who drink one to three glasses of wine a day are in better health than those who abstain from drinking. "The study of almost 150,000 subjects found that moderate drinkers were more likely to have healthy hearts, minds and body weights," writes the Daily News. However, it is not wine alone that brings the positive effects: "Researchers say the link is also caused by factors other than the wine itself — namely, the social status, stress levels and exercise habits of wine drinkers."
* * *
It seems we're always hearing about a region that claims it could be the next Napa. This time it's Texas. "Now a $1.35 billion industry with 200 wineries from Salado to Lubbock, Texas wine benefits from Agriculture Department grants and its Go Texan marketing program," reports the Dallas Morning News. But now, a Democratic candidate for the state's agriculture commissioner is calling for a shift in funding towards a more traditional product of the Lone Star state: beef. Still, Texas is has a young and growing wine industry that may be worth keeping an eye on.

Dynasty Fine Wines, a big wine producer that is partially owned by Remy Cointreau, is now looking to ramp up production, according a report from Bloomberg News. Dynasty "may buy vineyards in Australia, New Zealand, Chile or France, and has almost $150 million to spend boosting capacity to meet demand in China," Bloomberg said. Dynasty, which is said to be China's leading wine producers, is betting on a rise in demand for wine from China's growing market over the next few years, a common trend in the wine biz recently.

In Mathworld's article Gamma function, in line (96), we find the formula,
$\sum_{k=0}^\infty (8k+1)\left(\frac{\Gamma(k+\frac{1}{4})}{k!\;\Gamma(\frac{1}{4})}\right)^4 = 2^{3/2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}\,\left(\Gamma(3/4)\right)^2}$
On a whim, I evaluated the LHS and RHS using Mathematica to 100-digit precision, and found the first few digits as,
$\text{LHS} = 1.062679901\dots$
$\text{RHS} = 1.062679899\dots$
Ahem, they don't match. If it is a typo, then I find it interesting it is exceedingly close.
So what is the problem? 1) Did I input it in Mathematica wrongly? 2) Is there a typo, or misplaced symbol by authors after Ramanujan (Weisstein gives Hardy et al as references) 3) Or was Ramanujan just mistaken?

Very good, our tour guide was great Sorry, can't remember his name. Yes, we are the doomed! :-
Fun way to see Key West and learn of it's scary past.
Wonderful tour- guides were good and we did get spheres on some of our pictures.
All I can say is AMAZING! Especially the fort. OMG - even I became scared at this point. TAKE IT! TAKE IT! TAKE IT!
We were doomed. Fun and informative Robert thank you
the tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour not only fun but very informative. we had the oppourtunity to learn a lot about the history of key west and all the spirits that reside there. we enjoyed the tour and would do it again.
This was a fun night and what I would say is not really scary but good for a laugh. It was interesting to hear about the history of Key West and the resulting ghosts who seek revenge. I would say that I was a little scared at one point when we visited the old fort due to it being very dark and the narratation firing up my imagination!!
It was also interesting to meet Robert the doll and again the tale behind it.
If you want a little fun and expect a laugh with some interestings facts, not fears, then this trip is okay.
It was an alright tour. Saw some interesting sights, heard some interesting stories.
Wasn't the greatest.

As an aside, I noticed that most of the non photorealistic samples you featured were created in the UK, United Arab Emi rates, and Brazil. I thought the US examples in your article still looked computer generated. As an example of US-based nonphotorealistic architectural rendering, I'm sending a sample of one of my works, originally modeled in autodessys's formZ.

The most important feature of the display is that, through our proprietary eye-tracking technology, it allows a user to view stereo imagery without using aids such as special glasses. In addition, the monitor's configuration allows a user to move about laterally without experiencing a decline in stereo quality.

In your June editorial, "The Next Big Thing," (pg. 4) you say "only 5 percent of households currently have broadband access." I assume you're referring to 5 percent of US households, because many of us chauvinistically consider only the US when we toss out statistics. However, if the Internet is to be truly ubiquitous, we should look at the world picture and not simply peer at the US as if we were wearing blinders.
Industry forecasters seem to want to paint a Pollyanna picture about broadband. Instead, let's try to get any kind of Internet access to countries where the majority of the population has never even used a telephone!

You're right; we were referring to US households. Broadband access percentages for the world's population would certainly be much smaller than 5 percent.

Following is a doubt I got when I was reading Csiszar's Annals of Statistics paper "Why least squares and maximum entropy: An axiomatic approach to inference for linear inverse problems". He comes up with a set of axioms to justify $\ell_2$-norm minimisation in $\mathbb{R}^n$.
He also argues that $\ell_2$-norm minimization would not be appropriate if the space we consider consists of vectors with positive components,say, $\mathbb{R}_+^n$. Further he says that there exists sets of the form
$$L=\{v \in \mathbb{R}_+^n :Av=b\}$$
where $A$ is some $k\times n$ matrix and $u\notin L$ such that $\min_{v\in L}\|v-u\|_2$ is not attained in $L$.
I can't think of such an example.
Can someone think of such an example?

For the week of
June 01, 2012

Reaction of the Week
RALEIGH — North Carolina taxpayers struggling with a sluggish economy
would not have to worry about new taxes or fees under the 2012-13 state
budget plan moving through the N.C. House. That's good news for John
Locke Foundation budget analysts, who say the plan also has room for
"Most politicians, pundits, and media outlets have been focusing on the
number of dollars heading to particular government programs, setting
aside the more important question of how the House budget would affect
the people paying the bills — the taxpayers," said Fergus Hodgson, JLF
Director of Fiscal Policy Studies. "The focus on dollars also downplays
the important discussion of how the House budget prioritizes toward
state government services."
The House's Appropriations Committee is considering today a General Fund
budget that would spend more than $20.2 billion in 2012-13. That is
almost $800 million or 4 percent more than the plan that came out of the
2011 legislative session. But it is less than the $20.9 billion plan
Gov. Beverly Perdue put forward days before lawmakers returned to
Raleigh for this year's legislative session.
Much of the difference can be traced to Perdue's proposal for a
0.75-cent sales-tax hike. Republican legislative leaders have said they
are not interested in that idea.
CJ: Redistricting reform proposal running agroundRALEIGH — A government reform group is prodding
lawmakers to enact a measure that would take the process of redrawing
legislative and congressional maps out of lawmakers' hands and hand it
to its nonpartisan staff. But the leader of the state Senate indicated that senators might not
have an appetite for taking up the House-passed bill this session.
CJ: Berger's education reform plan faces time limitRALEIGH — While Republican Senate leader Phil
Berger introduced a comprehensive education reform package at the
opening of this year's short legislative session, his GOP House
colleagues are offering more limited, targeted changes in school policy.
CJ: EPA agents, police officer interrogate emailerRALEIGH — An Asheville businessman is left with
more questions than answers after a May 2 visit to his home by two armed
special agents from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
accompanied by an Asheville police officer, apparently to question him
about what the EPA interpreted as a "cryptic and concerning" email.
CJ: Official's scheme involved payments for software developmentRALEIGH — Documents obtained by Carolina Journal show that a plan recently scrapped by the North Carolina Department of
Commerce included a provision to pay Cary-based software developer SAS
$1.5 million in federal funds meant to assist low- and moderate-income
CJ: Diet blogger sues state for violating free speechRALEIGH — In North Carolina, it is illegal to
give one-on-one dietary advice without a license. The libertarian public
interest law firm Institute for Justice yesterday filed a lawsuit
challenging that law.

"I don't think God is through with me. I really believe he thinks there's still some good things I can do. "— John Edwards, as quoted by the Greensboro News & Record, after a jury acquitted him of one of violating federal campaign finance laws and couldn't reach a verdict on five other counts.
"We cannot continue like we are. We must change the dynamic. We must change the direction."— Sen. Buck Newton, R-Wilson, as quoted by the Raleigh News & Observer, on a education reform bill being pushed by Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger.
"We have to decide what's the moral issue here. I choose to put them to work."— Rep. Mike Hager, R-Rutherford, as quoted by the Associated Press, on a bill that would allow live dealer games at Cherokee Indian casino in western North Carolina.
"Everybody is concerned about it. Nobody wants it tolled. But how in the world are you going to get it fixed if you don't?"— Gus Tulloss, a N.C. Department of Transportation board member from Rocky Mount whose district includes four counties along Interstate 95, commenting to the Raleigh News & Observer on a proposal to pay for widening the interstate by charging a toll to drive on it.

Today Samsung announced that it has surpassed a major sales milestone with its Galaxy Note 3. Samsung says that channel sales of the Galaxy Note 3 have rocketed past 10 million unit sales in under the two months that it has been available for sale to the public.
The Note 3's predecessor, the Note 2 took over 120 days to reach 10 million units sold, and is just ten days longer than the 50 day total it took to sell 10 million Galaxy S4 smartphones. With phablets like the Galaxy Note 3 growing in popularity almost as fast as the Samsung Galaxy series itself, I am willing to bet that the next generation of phables that we see in 2014 will sell even faster.

I'm currently running php5 with APC, the latter with default configuration. However after setting up munin to monitor APC, I'm surprised by the results:
- apc.shm_size: 30
- apc.gc_ttl: 3600
- apc.ttl: 0
- Used: 14MB
- Request rate: 100 requests/second
- Fragmentation: 0
- Hit ratio: 80% (dropping to 0 a few times per hour)
So the obvious question: how can I adapt the configuration to achieve a higher hitrate. I find it very strange that the available memory is not fully used which the hitratio is still below what I would expect.
Thank for any hints!

It began Aug. 30, 1969, a preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons in front of a crowd of more than 69,000 at Tulane Stadium. Tom Fears was the Saints coach.
The mascot was a real St. Bernard.
Billy Kilmer was completing passes to Danny Abramowicz, Ernie Wheelwright was running the ball, Dave Whitsell was intercepting passes.
Back then, the public address announcer worked in a booth that hung from the upper deck on the west side of the stadium, in a space no larger than a phone booth.
For Jerry Romig, it would be the start of a remarkable 44-season journey as the voice the Saints, in those days before cell phones, when the most important announcements seemed to be "paging doctor 614, please call your emergency exchange.''
For Mark Romig, Jerry's son, it was a matter of keeping tab on how many times his dad shouted "first down, SAAAAAAINTS!" how he conveyed the moment of Tom Dempsey's 63-yard field goal to beat the Detroit Lions in 1970, the picture of Archie Manning running around left end to beat the Los Angeles Rams on the final play of the season opener in 1971.
"When the Saints moved into the Superdome,'' said Mark, "Dad's fun was only beginning. There was Morten Anderson's field goal to beat the St. Louis Rams on New Year's Eve night in 1990 to get a playoff spot. There was the return to the Superdome after Katrina for that Monday night game against Atlanta in 2006, for the 'blocked punt heard around the world' victory over the Falcons."
Mark Romig recalled how the job changed for his dad, from paging doctors and lost parents, to first downs sponsored by Lowe's, to McDonald's extra points.
"Dad's passion never changed because he never stopped being a fan,'' said Mark. "I remember him getting so excited after a play, he pounded his fist into a table and had to spend the second half of the game with his hand in a cup of ice. There was a time he was reading an ad for McDonald's, stumbling through a jingle for a Big Mac, when he gave up and all he could say was, 'Well, you know the rest.'"
Mark's fondest memories were of the many times crowd noises caused the visiting team to use a timeout or cause an illegal-procedure penalty. His dad would sit back, smile and say, "We caused that.''
The more Jerry Romig became involved with Who Dat Nation, the more they reminded him of "family.''
"As a group,'' he said, "I found our fans to be loyal, opinionated and patient.
"They went through the toughest of times but never lost hope.''
One pundit suggested Jerry Romig reminded him of the Wikipedia definition of the long-suffering Saints fan, equal parts amnesiac, masochist, wild-eyed optimist and illogical diehard whose Who Dat heart is protected by an oversized Kevlar fleur-de-lis.
"Romig and his black-and-gold brothers,'' he said, "have sustained so many flesh wounds over the years of mostly semi-pro football that the loss of blood should have led by now to death by a thousand cuts.''
Katrina was not kind to Romig and his extended family. They lost the family home in Lakeview, as did son Jay and daughter Mary Beth.
And that wasn't all.
On the first floor of their home were framed photos of 21 foster babies the Romigs had cared for going back to 1964.
The Romigs had four children when they decided to become foster parents. They were motivated after Janice Romig lost two children shortly after birth.
The water washed away all 21 pictures.
When the 2009 Saints were on an 11-0 winning streak, and Super Bowl XLIV became the only topic in town, Jerry Romig put it this way: "We were hoping we would see this before we died, now we're seeing it.''
He made no predictions, but, as usual, remained optimistic.
What about the 2013 Saints?
"I'm guessing they can win nine games, maybe more,'' said Jerry.
Jerry Romig can't lose.
It's a little late, but Sunday, Jerry will be wearing a Super Bowl XLIV ring.
Maybe you remember the score: Saints 31, Indianapolis Colts, 17.

The Power of Music
By Rachel Laskow

Arn talks about self-identity.
Arn Chorn-Pond wasn't allowed to cry. Some of his family had been killed, he was separated from his mother, and he watched people die every day. Despite the sadness in his life, he had to hold back his tears. He knew that if the Khmer Rouge, the new Communist power in Cambodia, saw one tear slide down his cheek, they would kill him for showing emotion. Eventually, 9-year-old Arn forgot how to cry.
"I literally learned how to feel nothing. I made myself numb. I made myself not feel anything. I shut myself completely," Arn told Scholastic News Online during a recent visit to the Scholastic offices in New York City.
In 1975, the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, took power in Cambodia's capital. The Communist movement banned all institutions, such as schools, hospitals, banks, and even the family. The Khmer Rouge also destroyed the country's vehicles and machines because it was opposed to technology.
Arn was one of 700 children who were taken to Wat Aik by the Khmer Rouge in the mid-1970s. Wat Aik was a Buddhist temple area in Cambodia that the Khmer Rouge converted into a killing place. Children were separated from their parents, and forced to work from 5 a.m. until midnight every day. Sometimes, they were starved.
"For one or two weeks they would not let us eat. They said, 'You didn't make any rice.' They just found an excuse to starve us to death," said Arn, who weighed about 40 pounds.
Even in these horrible conditions, Arn found a way to survive. He played the flute.
"They let me play music for them, and I knew music could save my life, because the Khmer Rouge wanted to kill me also," Arn said. "Because I looked white, my fingers were long, and they thought I was from a rich family, so they wanted to kill me, but they couldn't do that because I was out to play music for them, and I was good at it."
Soon enough, Arn turned from a musician into a soldier. In 1979, the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia. The Khmer Rouge gave Arn and other children guns, and for the next two or three months, they fought unsuccessfully against the Vietnamese. (Cambodia was ruled by the Vietnamese until 1989. The country has returned to a constitutional monarchy government, with a king, prime minister, and legislature.)
Life in a Jungle
When he was 12 years old, Arn ran away to the jungle and lived there for a few months by himself. He followed monkeys and ate whatever they ate. He had to be careful not to eat poisonous food. Sometimes, he would catch a fish with his bare hands and eat it. "I mean, the Cambodian jungle is just like what you guys see in Tarzan," he said.
Arn had to watch out for dangerous animals, such as snakes. Sometimes, he would walk for two or three weeks, thinking he was going somewhere, but then end up back where he started. "I didn't know where I was going, because as a young boy, you don't know whether the world is flat or round," he said.
The Rescue
One day, women out gathering firewood found Arn unconscious on the ground. They took him to the Sakao camp on the border of Thailand. Later that night, the man who would soon become his foster father literally stumbled on him.
"I was close to dying, and Peter, my father, stepped on me. He's about 200 pounds, 250 pounds," Arn said. "He stepped on me, and I think he saw my teeth, because he said I had good teeth. My teeth were shining that night, and he picked me up and I clung on to him. I clung on to him and never let him go."
Living in America
Two years later, Arn was in New Hampshire with his foster parents and other children that Peter had adopted. Arn started high school right away. "I was confused. I was angry. I didn't know what was happening with my life," he said.
Some students made fun of Arn because he was the first Asian they had ever seen, and they didn't know about his culture. Arn often fought with the other students and landed himself in detention. He couldn't speak English, and therefore teachers had a hard time figuring out why he was angry.
"Remember this: I couldn't cry. I didn't know how to cry. You see, I shut off everything," Arn said. "So, a lot of anger was stuffed in my chest. I broke the school window. It seemed like nobody understood me, nobody was on my side. I didn't know where my family was. I didn't know where my country was anymore."
While in high school, Arn woke up before the sun rose to practice English with his adopted mother. An English as a Second Language teacher also helped him. Little by little, things started to look up for Arn. He became a soccer star, and people started to accept him more. Arn graduated from high school and attended Brown University.
Speaking Out
Arn's dad and principal encouraged him to speak about his life. "There is something in my heart that I really wanted to do, which is communication. Communicate with other people about what I went through," he said.
There was only one problem: Arn thought that nobody wanted to hear his story. He was wrong. "I spoke one time in a church. People cried. Young people and old people cried," he said. "They came and made a row, and each of them gave us a hug, and I didn't know how to hug."
Another time, Arn and his dad spoke to members of Congress in Washington, D.C. Arn spoke about his life and was able to reach their hearts. He even learned how to cry and hug. Arn's speech was so influential that he was able to bring many Cambodian orphans to America. And many of them were just like himthey didn't know what was happening to their lives. Many of them joined gangs to express their anger and confusion. While attending Brown University, Arn worked with the gang members, ranging in age from 9 to 25, to help them overcome their difficulties.
The Power of Music
Arn helped one group of gang members who were in a music group called Seasia (Soul Elements of Asia). The group used to write songs about violence, but now they write peaceful songs, such as "Hero in My Eyes". The song mixes hip-hop with traditional Cambodian instruments. With Arn's help, they used donated equipment to record a CD. They even traveled to Cambodia and performed on national TV. "Arn is our mentor," said Seasia's leader, Tony Roun. "We struggled in the streets. Arn told us, 'You need to be connected to your heritage.'"

Seasia now has its own studio and is planning to create the first Cambodian MTV. "Their song is deep enough, and I want them to be universal enough, that they don't only talk about Cambodia," Arn said.
Arn also founded the Cambodian Master Performers Program. The program locates former masters, or trained professional musicians, and lets them teach, record, and perform again. Arn's goal is for the program to support a revival of traditional Cambodian art forms, as well as inspire modern artistic expression. In fact, Arn found the master who had taught him during the time of the Khmer Rouge.
Arn also helped to start many other organizations, such as Children of War. This program encourages children from war-torn countries to speak out about their experiences. Arn was also one of two speakers on an Amnesty International world tour. He took time off from college and traveled to 50 countries with music stars such as Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, and Tracy Chapman.
Giving Peace a Chance
Every day when Arn wakes up, he knows he has to choose the right thing. As a child, Arn was forced to be part of a war. Now, he chooses peace. He feels that by teaching children about peace, the world will be a better place.
"Children are simple. You teach them love, they grow up with love. If you teach them war, they only grow up making war," he said. "I want to touch children with love, not war. I know both sides. War is only lose, lose. Peace, compassion, love, I think it's win, win. Everyone wins. I want to make that popular. I feel so good making peace, and start caring about other people."
Arn hopes that through his work, there will be more peace in the worldand he works on that goal each day by volunteering. Volunteering allows Arn to express emotion, something he wasn't allowed to do while he was under Khmer Rouge control.
"[Volunteering] makes me feel good," Arn said. "It makes me smile more. It makes me cry more."

While Fools should generally take the opinion of Wall Street with a grain of salt, it's not a bad idea to take a closer look at particularly stock-shaking upgrades and downgrades -- just in case their reasoning behind the call makes sense.
What: Shares of Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) gained slightly Thursday after FBR Capital upgraded the telecom gorilla from Market Perform to Outperform.
So what: Along with the upgrade, analyst David Dixon raised his price target to $57 (from $55), representing about 11% worth of upside to Wednesday's close. So while momentum traders might be turned off by Verizon's price-strength in recent months, Dixon's call could reflect a sense on Wall Street that its growth prospects still aren't fully baked into the valuation.
Now what: According to FBR, Verizon's risk/reward trade-off is rather attractive at this point. "Our more constructive outlook is driven by: (1) an expected near-term M&A-based tailwind from the expected announcement of a Sprint/T-Mobile combination (which the market is increasingly discounting --incorrectly, in our view) and an increase in deal approval probability upon announcement from current consensus, which remains low; (2) continued momentum in wireless (coupled with a stronger nexus with its wireline asset) with expectation for mid-single-digit growth; and (3) moderating decline in wireline driven by increased adoption and penetration of FiOS and FiOS Quantum," said Dixon. When you couple that upbeat outlook with Verizon's still-juicy 4%-plus dividend yield, it's tough to disagree with FBR's bullishness.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early-in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

LONDON -- Marking the
end of London's Flamenco Festival, held at Sadler's Wells, "Flamenco
de Camara" was certainly a finale which brought the house down.
This women-powered double-act of singer/musical director Mayte Martin
and dancer/choreographer Belen Maya was joined by two outstanding
guitarists, Juan Ramon Caro and Jose Luis Monton, a violinist, Olvido
Lanza, and two feisty clappers, Sara Barrero and Susana Medina to
make up an impressive chamber group. Seen January 30, they presented
a program of nine different flamenco pieces, some performed by the
entire group, some solos for the cante and others solos for the
other musicians. "Flamenco de Camara," which means "chamber flamenco,"
focuses on the intense relationship between music and dance within
flamenco, exploring them as if they were a pair of lovers or friends
who are symbiotically linked even though they possess such different
characters. The series of dialogues -- whether between guitars and
violin or singer and dancer -- are highly expressive and emotional
and seem to delve deep into the very essence of what flamenco is.
Often in flamenco, the
dancer personifies the woman and the singer the man, and they enact
a game of conquest and submission which is all too predictably charged
with melodramatic lashings of sexual tension. However, with Martin
and Maya some of the more commercial and stereotypical passions
as well as the inflated egos that are flaunted by many flamenco
performers are replaced by modesty, deep mutual respect and understanding.
Arriving on a journey from their own personal artistic positions,
they join forces rather than battling each other into submission,
but still exude plenty of passion and emotion in the process. This
is flamenco without its macho baggage, and as a result is highly
sophisticated and elegant. I couldn't help thinking that the reason
for this more refined interpretation of the flamenco experience
was because "Flamenco de Camara" was a women-directed, women-performed
show, apart from the two male guitarists.
Martin and Maya each
have a profoundly strong stage presence but not one that overshadows
the other musicians, because they work very much as a team. Whenever
they perform together it is mesmerizing. Each seems to bring something
new and subtle to her particular craft; with Maya it is frequent
stooping movements and changes in level, while with Martin it is
complex rhythms. There are moments when they both seem to be improvising
around what the other one is doing, so the result is refreshingly
experimental. While Maya dances with incredible virtuosity, it is
never showy; she never abandons integrity for instant gratification
of her audience, which is consequently left wanting more and more.
Even when she dances slower, quieter pieces she still exudes a charisma
which is much more about her skill as an artist than her ego.
When they first appear
onstage, Maya is dressed in a white, long-trained traditional flamenco
gown, Martin in a black suit. They look like a couple getting married.
Maya is so focused on Martin that initially the audience doesn't
get a look in, but they need to establish their intense relationship
before she projects her performance outwards. Much of Maya's choreography
is influenced by skillful management of the flouncing yards of material
on her dress. It seems so cumbersome, yet she uses it imaginatively
as a prop for her dancing. She displays her magnetic force over
Martin by ensnaring her, wrapping the material round the singer's
feet whenever she tries to walk away.
One of the most awesome
pieces is one which has a very celebratory feel and is performed
by the whole group. Maya is adorned in vivid yellow, again wearing
a dress with an impossibly long train. She really dominates this
act with her exuberant stamping, her bull-like charging movements,
her clapping, and her wild experimentation with tricky rhythms as
she visually interprets the music. She prolongs the act with her
incredible stamina and energy. The audience holds its breath and
just when we think it's no longer possible for her to continue,
she explodes in another flurry of movement.
This is spectacular
flamenco. Both the dancing and the music compliment each other and
Maya and Martin seem to have forged a new direction within the genre
of flamenco. One that is more experimental, that is pared down uncluttered
by arrogance, tricks and cliche and consequently far more effective
at expressing the vivid colors and subtle textures of flamenco.

Miami Dolphins: Daniel Thomas returns to the field
Daniel Thomas hopes to make the most of his midwest homecoming during today's 1 p.m. game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The former Kansas State standout whom the Miami Dolphins drafted in the second round is active for today's game, and the rookie intends to put on a show for the 20 family members and friends, and numerous Wildcat fans he has watching inside Arrowhead Stadium.
Thomas, who has missed three games this season because of a troublesome left hamstring strain, said he's "feeling good" after sitting out last Sunday's 20-17 loss to the New York Giants.
It's likely that Thomas, who has gained 302 rushing yards on his 75 carries, will split the workload with Reggie Bush, whose recently resurgence has him averaging 4.5 yards per carry.
The Dolphins' mounting a productive rushing attack will be critical to the team's success today against the Chiefs. The Dolphins are averaging 116.9 yards per game, and 4.3 yards per carry. The Chiefs are allowing 122.1 rushing yards per contest and have allowed seven rushing touchdowns.
Here are some other news items from Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Tailback Steve Slaton, who scored a touchdown and had a big kickoff return last week, is inactive again for the Chiefs game.
Cornerback Nolan Carroll, not rookie cornerback Jimmy Wilson, will be starting for Vontae Davis, who is sitting out today's game for disciplinary reasons. This will be Carroll's third start of the season.
Tyrone Culver will start his third straight game at free safety for the Dolphins. He held off Reshad Jones for another week.
Linebacker Ikaika-Alama Francis, offensive tackle Will Barker, tight end Will Yeatman are the other inactive players. Like Davis, Phillip Merling didn't travel for disciplinary reasons.
Offensive guard John Jerry is inactive for today's game against Kansas City. That means Ryan Cook and Nate Garner are the backup O-linemen.
Receiver Julius Pruitt, a three-year practice squad player for the Dolphins, is active for his very first NFL game. Pruitt was signed yesterday to address the team's shortage of receivers.
Clyde Gates, who has been nursing a groin strain, is active for today, and it's possible he'll resume his role as the team's primary kickoff returner.

I will not definitely try Black Hat Search Engine Optimization. It may harm my blog. Is there a possibility that my blog be banned by Google search engine?
Hello kaichou22. I'm doing blackhat search engine marketing for over 2 years and trust me I've seen a lot. Some people achieve great results and get thousands of visitors daily while others get them banned. If you use common sense in internet marketing and learn how to do things propperly then you can stay away from ban hammer.
Google ban forever only really nasty spammed blogs. If you only do some mass commenting, mass artikle marketing or mass like/google+ you should be fine. Just don't forget use common sense and you will be fine.
Another thing about black hat marketing is the fact that is way cheaper than while hat. White hat focus on quality (Expensive) while blackhat focus on quantity (cheaper). If you can do both quality and quantity backlinks and marketing is great but... Is darn expensive..
Personally I advice you to mix blackhat marketing with whitehat and you should be fine

A friend of ours has a really weird phobia: she hates touching raw vegetables with her bare hands. No idea why, really, (did some Halloween prank involving peeled grapes go horribly awry?) but she can't cook without Skrub'a Potato & Legume Scrubbing Gloves. ($17 for 2 pairs) These rough-textured gloves enable her to hold veggies and easily scrub dirt off without using bacteria-laden sponges and brushes. The open knit dries quickly draped over a dish rack, and can be washed in the dishwasher or a washing machine. The set includes a pair of potato scrubbing gloves, and one for all other veggies & fruit.

Between 1990 and 2010, over two billion people gained access to improved drinking water sources, such as piped supplies and protected wells, according to a joint report by the UN Childrens Fund (UNICEF) and the UN World Health Organization (WHO). Halving the number of people without access to clean drinking water is one of the targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which include ending extreme poverty, reducing child and maternal mortality rates, fighting diseases and establishing a global partnership for development. Today we recognize a great achievement for the people of the world, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said upon the release of the report, entitled Progress on Drinking Water and Sanitation 2012 and produced by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation. This is one of the first MDG targets to be met. The successful efforts to provide greater access to drinking water are a testament to all who see the MDGs not as a dream, but as a vital tool for improving the lives of millions of the poorest people. At the end of 2010, some 89 per cent of the worlds population, or 6.1 billion people, used improved drinking water sources, according to the report. That figure is one per cent more than the 88 per cent stated in the MDG targets. The report estimates that by 2015, some 92 per cent of the global population will have access to improved drinking water. For children this is especially good news, said UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. Every day more than 3,000 children die from diarrhoeal diseases. Achieving this goal will go a long way to saving childrens lives. Lake cautioned that victory can not yet be declared because at least 11 per cent of the worlds population 783 million people are still without access to safe drinking water, and billions live without sanitation facilities. The numbers are still staggering, he said, But the progress announced on Tuesday is proof that MDG targets can be met with the will, the effort and the funds, he added. The report shows that the world is still far from meeting the MDG target for sanitation, and is unlikely to do so by 2015. Only 63 per cent of the world population has access to improved sanitation, a figure projected to increase to only 67 per cent by 2015, well below the 75 per cent target in the MDGs. Currently 2.5 billion people still lack improved sanitation. UNICEF and WHO also cautioned that since the measurement of water quality is not possible globally, progress towards the MDG target of safe drinking water is measured through gathering data on the use of improved drinking water sources. Significant work must be done to ensure that improved sources of water are and remain safe, the two agencies stressed. Better water, sanitation and hygiene are key to improving human health and development, said WHO Director-General Margaret Chan. Today, even with this exciting new progress, almost 10 per cent of all diseases are still linked to poor water, sanitation and hygiene. The global figures also mask massive disparities between regions and countries, and within countries, the two agencies emphasized. Only 61 per cent of the people in Sub-Saharan Africa have access to improved water supply sources, compared with 90 per cent or more in Latin America and the Caribbean, northern Africa, and large parts of Asia. Over 40 per cent of all people globally who lack access to drinking water live in Sub-Saharan Africa. The report also confirms that in cases where water supplies are not readily accessible, the burden of carrying water falls disproportionately on women and girls. We have reached an important target, but we cannot stop here, said Ban. Our next step must be to target the most difficult to reach, the poorest and the most disadvantaged people across the world. The United Nations General Assembly has recognized drinking water and sanitation as human rights. That means we must ensure that every person has access. Meanwhile, Lenny Kravitz, the Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter, record producer and actor, has thrown his support behind the global effort by UNICEF and its partners to help save and improve the lives of millions of children and their families around the world by providing them with access to clean water and adequate sanitation. I was born in New York City and have always taken access to clean water as a given, said Kravitz. No child should die of diarrhoea from drinking dirty water. That thousands of children under the age of five continue to die every day because they lack clean water and basic sanitation is simply unacceptable. Kravitz will be appearing in public service announcements and on Twitter and Facebook with a message that all children can and must have access to clean water and adequate sanitation. The musician, who recently released the album Black and White America, is joining forces with UNICEF to help mark World Water Day on Mar 22 and will send a global message of the importance of investing in children and providing them with clean water and sanitation.

Complex Media Acquires Concert Social Net

Complex Media has acquired the SuperGlued social network of musical artists and concertgoers. Complex Media already maintains a network of owned and partnered sites targeting the young male demo with entertainment content. The absorption of SuperGlued gives the company social network tools that can help Complex redistribute media across the community. The deal also gives Complex a presence in the mobile app market.
SuperGlued offers both Web and mobile apps that help live music fans track their favorite bands and concerts. The apps aggregate images, blog posts, reviews tweets, check-ins, videos and performance set lists from the leading social nets: foursquare, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others. The collected data around specific concert experiences preserves the moment. The apps also let concertgoers engage with one another on and off site in real time. Bands like Pearl Jam and Kings of Leon as well as media partners like MTV have used the platform to engage with their fan base. Billboard named the company one of the top 10 startups of 2011.
Acquisition terms were not disclosed. But SuperGlued co-founder Rush Doshi joins Complex Media as head of product and audience development initiatives. Doshi helped found the company in 2009 after spending a decade in the digital media space at AOL, BlackPlanet and Bolt.
Complex Media claims over 4.7 million monthly uniques for its Complex.com hub and another 45 million uniques for its network of Web sites for which it acts as sales rep.

Life has been pretty good for refiners for the past five years, especially those with refineries in the middle of the country that have been able to take advantage of the shale boom such as HollyFrontier (NYSE:HFC), Northern Tier Energy (NYSE:NTI), and CVR Refining (NYSE:CVRR). Their success over the past few years has been predicated on their ability to source cheap crude thanks to inefficiencies in our oil transportation infrastructure. Without adequate takeaway capacity, the domestic crude benchmark -- West Texas Intermediate -- and the Canadian crude benchmark -- Western Canadian Select -- have both been priced at significant discount to the international standard: Brent.
But this advantage has been slowly whittling away, and this quarter could be a little less promising than previous ones. Find out how these crude benchmarks have changed and why this could impact refiners earnings by tuning into the video below.

The sun just peaked above the pines and palms as the kayaks slid into the shallow water of Apalachee Bay. A slight breeze was putting just the hint of a chop on the water, but conditions were still good for some seatrout fishing in the shadow of the St. Marks lighthouse.
The village of St. Marks and the nearby lighthouse both have very long pedigrees in the Big Bend area of Florida's west coast. The town was originally called San Marcos de Apalache when it was founded by the Spanish in the 1600s.
The lighthouse, which is downstream of the town, is located on the eastern side of the mouth of the St. Marks River. The brick structure on the site was erected in 1842, guiding ships into the port of St. Marks.
Today the area has been by-passed by progress. St. Marks is no longer a port city and the lighthouse is out of service. On the other hand, the presence of the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge stretching from the town to the lighthouse makes this a fantastic area for outdoors activities.
Among those activities is fishing for seatrout on the grass flats that front the lighthouse on Apalachee Bay. A canoe and kayak launch at the lighthouse make those flats easily accessible for paddle anglers from the mouth of the St. Marks River west to Sandy Bay.
The waters are about 1 to 4 feet deep on these flats, with a roughly 18-inch tidal range. Drifting these flats, casting topwater lures, shallow running jig-and-trailer combinations or even flies can produce trout in the 15- to 20-inch range. Because of the shallow water, competition for boating anglers is minimal for paddlers.
During the hot summer months the best angling is during the first couple of hours after sunrise. That period also is a magic time to be on these pristine waters. The flats are alive with seabirds beneath a brilliantly painted sky.
Nearby T-n-T Hide-A-Way Rentals offers kayak rentals, as well as guided paddle fishing trips to the area.

It looks like the 4J Studios developed Xbox One edition of Minecraft is getting close to completion after the head of Microsoft's Xbox division Phil Spencer recently provided an update on the release of the upcoming game. According to a report by Gamespot on May 5, Spencer revealed that Microsoft and Mojang are very close to setting a release date for the launch of the game on the new generation of consoles.
This isn't' the only update that Spencer has recently announced regarding Minecraft: Xbox One Edition. It wasn't long ago when the Xbox boss finally confirmed that players will indeed be able to import their save files from the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft to the Xbox One edition so that they may continue playing in the same game world.
4J Studios admitted from the start that they wanted to allow save imports but it wasn't clear if it would even be technically possible. Spencer himself stated that they had gone back and forth on whether the option to transfer saves across console generations would be a feature for the Xbox One version of Minecraft.
Minecraft: Xbox One Edition was supposed to be a launch title for the new system when it was originally announced last year. However, 4J Studios opted instead to focus on the release of the PS3 version of the game. As such, the next-gen editions of Minecraft were delayed for both the Xbox One and PS4 so that the developer could have more time to work on all of the various console versions without having to rush anything.
The first Minecraft game to release on home consoles came first to the Xbox 360. Late last year, PS3 owners also received access to the popular block-building game. 4J Studios is also currently developing version of the game for release on Xbox One, PS4, and PS Vita later this year.

While heated arguments between practitioners of qualitative and quantitative research have begun to test the very integrity of the social sciences, Gary King, Robert Keohane, and Sidney Verba have produced a farsighted and timely book that promises to sharpen and strengthen a wide range of research performed in this field. These leading scholars, each representing diverse academic traditions, have developed a unified approach to valid descriptive and causal inference in qualitative research, where numerical measurement is either impossible or undesirable. Their book demonstrates that the same logic of inference underlies both good quantitative and good qualitative research designs, and their approach applies equally to each. Providing precepts intended to stimulate and discipline thought, the authors explore issues related to framing research questions, measuring the accuracy of data and uncertainty of empirical inferences, discovering causal effects, and generally improving qualitative research. Among the specific topics they address are interpretation and inference, comparative case studies, constructing causal theories, dependent and explanatory variables, the limits of random selection, selection bias, and errors in measurement. Mathematical notation is occasionally used to clarify concepts, but no prior knowledge of mathematics or statistics is assumed. The unified logic of inference that this book explicates will be enormously useful to qualitative researchers of all traditions and substantive fields.

Candace Cameron Bure decided that it was a great time to hack John Stamos' cell phone. On Monday, Christian Post shared about how she actually hacked his phone to post a selfie along with Andrea Barber. These two are great friends and have become best friends since the show ended. They still hang out together a lot and are known to share pictures together.
Along with the picture she shared saying, "This is what you get when you accidentally leave your phone with Deej & Gibbler." John Stomos probably should have known better than to leave his phone with them but the fans of the show got a kick out of seeing this picture. They also like knowing that these two are spending time together.
It was not shared why all three of them were together again but fans are hoping that it means a "Full House" reunion is on the way. They are probably not filming anything at this time. Several people from the show were at "Dancing With the Stars" to help support Candace Cameron Bure when she was on the show with her partner Mark Ballas. They do all stay in touch with each other and it seems like get along very well.
Yahoo shared that a lot of the cast got together this weekend for the big wedding of Dave Coulier. You can easily assume that is what everyone was together for and why John Stamos got his hacked by his old co-stars who were having a good time. They do know how to get people talking about everything though. Fans love them together.
Candace did a great job on "Dancing With the Stars" this past season. Everyone would love to see someone else from "Full House" join the cast in the future. You never know might decide to put on their dancing shoes next season and see if they can win the mirror ball trophy.

Pizza Squared Celebrates 1st Anniversary 1/12
Pizza Squared will celebrate its 1st anniversary on January 12, 2013 from 5:00PM-9:00PM at its location on 30th Street, just a few minutes from the University of South Florida and Busch Gardens. Visitors who participate in the celebration will enjoy free pizza, face painting, prizes and more. The Detroit-Style eatery enjoys popularity on local food reviewing website Yelp and serves quite a tasty pizza.
Pizza Squared was included on my USF Dining Guide this school year on 813area.com. The local pizza eatery also delivers and offers plenty of great deals for students and locals and is a great alternative to the pizza chains that surround the area. Most pizzas options will run you between $10 and $14 depending on what you order. I will admit that my first time at Pizza Squared, I had to actually look up Detroit Style Pizza on Wikipedia because it is almost unheard of in Tampa when you consider all the New York Pizza eateries that surroound the area and I was amazed at just how much I enjoyed this style of pizza and would like to encourage fellow Tampa diners to take a plunge and give it a shot as well.
Event Name: Pizza Squared's 1st Year Anniversary:
Date & Time: Saturday, January 12, 2013, 5:00-9:00PM
Address: 11124 30th St, Tampa, Florida 33612

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The No. 4 Alabama gymnastics team takes on No. 10 Stanford this Friday at 7:30 p.m. in Coleman Coliseum. The Crimson Tide comes into the meet after posting a season-best 197.675 to beat previously undefeated Florida last Friday, but the season gets no easier with the West Coast powerhouse Cardinal.
"Stanford is really good so we can't afford a let down from that high against Florida," UA head coach Sarah Patterson said. "Because if we do, that team is talented enough to jump up and bite us. We need to keep this momentum going, and not just from a student-athlete standpoint, but also in terms of our fans. There's no doubt that they helped lift us up against Florida and we need that the rest of the way."
Friday is also Academic Achievement Night in Coleman Coliseum and Alabama gymnastics will honor Tuscaloosa city and county elementary school students who earned a place on the A/B honor roll with free admission to the meet with the vouchers they received from their schools.
"I am so proud of the success we've earned in the classroom over the years," Patterson said. "Our ladies work very hard to be the best they can academically and I think that shows. That's one of the reasons why Friday's Academic Achievement Night is so great. We love the chance to honor Tuscaloosa students who have excelled in the classroom."
Alabama is led by All-American and Scholastic All-American seniors Kim Jacob and Diandra Milliner. Jacob posted a 9.925 on the uneven bars and a 9.950 on the floor exercise against Florida, taking first in both events. Milliner posted a 9.9 on the vault as well as a 9.950 on the floor exercise to end the competition, tying for first place on the floor exercise and clinching the Tide's win.
Friday's meet in Tuscaloosa will be the Tide's ninth meet of the season and fifth home meet. Stanford is coming off of a win at home against Cal-Berkley, improving their record to 13-2. Stanford is led by redshirt junior Kristina Vaculik who is ranked 9th on the uneven bars and 15th on the floor exercise.
After taking on Stanford, the Tide closes out the regular season next Friday at home against the Auburn Tigers. Tickets are available now through the Alabama Ticket Office (205.348.2262) located in the lobby of Coleman Coliseum or online at RollTide.com.
Fans can keep up with the Tide via Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube by following BamaGymnastics.

July 16, 2013
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A total of 87 University of Alabama student-athletes were named to the 2013 Southeastern Conference First-Year Academic Honor Roll, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive announced this week.
Alabama's total ranked second in the league, just behind South Carolina and more than a dozen honors ahead of third place Kentucky.
The Crimson Tide's 2012 BCS National Championship squad tied for first among football teams with South Carolina, with both programs putting 12 honorees on the list. The men's track and field team, which finished 11th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, and the women's swimming and diving team led their respective sports with 15 and 10 student-athletes, respectively.
The Tide's volleyball and women's golf team both tied for first among their respective sports, with five honors for volleyball and two for women's golf.
The 2013 SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2012-13 academic calendar year. To earn a place on the honor roll a student-athlete must have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution, be on scholarship or a letter winner, have completed 24 semester hours of non-remedial credit at the nominating institution and have been a member of the varsity team for the sport's entire NCAA championship segment.
The Tide had 42, 48 and 77 student-athletes named to the SEC Fall, Winter and Spring Academic Honor Rolls, respectively, giving Alabama a total of 254 student-athletes on the honor roll for the 2012-13 academic year.
