War dominated the western world in 1814. The Napoleonic Wars engulfed Europe and spilled over to America. The United States went to war with Britain in 1812 over British privations on the high seas. A second string British army dominated their American counterparts while the U.S. Navy achieved surprising victories. Britain and her allies finally defeated Napoleon in 1814 and placed Louis XVIII on the French throne. This freed up British forces to combat the United States with full force. In 1814, the British ran wild in America, burnt Washington D.C. to the ground, and appeared on the verge of victory. Eventually, the two sides signed a peace treaty as Andrew Jackson achieved a decisive victory over the British as the Federalist Party committed suicide by discussing secession.
The Napoleonic Wars appeared over in 1814. The allies routed Napoleon, marched into Paris, and installed Louis XVIII on the French throne. Napoleon went into exile on Elba while the victors began to reorganize the continent. Meanwhile, the British needed to finish the war in America. Napoleon's temporary exile freed millions of soldiers for duty overseas. This changed the game in America. The United States needed to end the war before the full might of the British Empire pummeled the young nation.
The American army struggled against the British in the War of 1812. They relied too much upon citizen militias. The militias often refused to leave their home states, obey orders, and often fled when confronted. Many refused to fight in Canada. The U.S. and British engaged at Niagara Falls, Ontario in the Battle of Lundy's Lane. The fight ended in a stalemate, but American losses necessitated retreat. As a result, Lundy's Lane ended in British victory. It left the United States on the defensive in Canada for the remainder of the conflict.
The British army scored a bigger success in Washington D.C. They completely routed American forces at Bladensburg opening the road to the American capitol. First Lady Dolley Madison escaped as cannon balls exploded. The British marched into the city on August 24, held a mock session of Congress, ate at the White House, and torched federal buildings. They burnt the White House, Capitol, and several federal facilities but left private buildings and homes alone.
Following the burning of Washington D.C., the British continued to push their advantage. They attacked Baltimore and Fort McHenry in September. At that moment, Francis Scott Key journeyed to the enemy side to negotiate a prisoner release. He succeeded, but found himself temporarily incarcerated. The British did not want Key to divulge his knowledge of the pending attack. Key watched helplessly as explosions rocked the fort on the night of September 13. The next morning, he saw the American flag fluttering in the breeze and wrote the lyrics to the Star-Spangled Banner.
While the American military seemed to be holding on against the British elsewhere, Andrew Jackson managed to score impressive victories against Native American foes. He ended the Creek War and Native American threat in Alabama. Jackson forced the Creek to sign the Treaty of Fort Jackson which ceded 23 million acres in Alabama and Georgia to the United States. Jackson received a promotion for his effort and moved to defend New Orleans against the British. His victories against the Creek and British propelled General Jackson to the presidency.
Jackson defeated John Quincy Adams for the White House in 1828. While one future president ended the Creek War, another ended the War of 1812. Adams negotiated the Treaty of Ghent with the British. The belligerents signed the document on Christmas Eve. The treaty ended hostilities, but left the status quo. It did not deal with any of the issues that led to the conflict. However, the two nations hammered out their differences in short order. Additionally, communication delays meant neither side knew of the armistice until after Jackson smote the British at New Orleans in 1815.
The peace treaty and Jackson's exploits at New Orleans signaled the end of the Federalist Party. The Federalists devolved into a regional New England party. They often felt at odds with President James Madison's Democratic-Republicans. During the war, they cheered British victories and refused to allow their militiamen fight. They called a convention on December 15, 1814 to address their grievances. The Hartford Convention lasted three weeks while Federalists discussed secession and constitutional fixes to protect New England. Moderates eventually assumed control, but the public only heard the radicals. Jackson's victory and Adams' treaty completely undercut the convention. The Federalists appeared treasonous to most Americans. The party decline that began in 1800 accelerated dramatically. In 1820, Democratic-Republican President James Monroe ran unopposed.
The War of 1812 finally ended in 1814. The Napoleonic Wars end allowed the British to turn on their pesky American enemy. The conflict dominated the American landscape that year. American military incompetence allowed the British to burn Washington D.C. Despite the problems, Andrew Jackson managed to score major victories on the frontier. Eventually, peace arrived just in time for the Federalist Party to commit suicide. The Hartford Convention made the Federalists look treasonous and led to their end. As a result, 1815 ushered in a new era in American history.

Stepping out of the shadows of the previous generation can be a process for anybody, but when your parents are two of cinema's most notorious luminaries, there's bound to be an extra measure of complication.
For Italian actress and filmmaker Asia Argento, contending with famous parents has always been a fact of life. Her mother, noted actress and screenwriter Daria Nicolodi (Suspira, Deep Red), blazed a bloody trail for the women of Italian horror throughout the 1970s and beyond. Similarly, her father, the hugely celebrated filmmaker Dario Argento, literally changed the face of genre cinema forever.
With two titans of terror as parents and various other relatives in the business, Asia's childhood was one ruled by the movies. By her own confession, she initially turned to acting not to establish her own identity, but because she sought her father's attention.
In the Februrary 2008 issue of Filmmaker Magazine, Argento revealed the desperation that drove her to follow in her parent's footsteps:
"I never acted out of ambition; I acted to gain my father's attention. It took a long time for him to notice me – I started when I was nine, and he only cast me when I was 16. And he only became my father when he was my director."
Although her initial forays into the film world were motivated more by a sense of belonging than performance, the young actress showed incredible aptitude, scoring small roles in projects by Italian masters like Sergio Citti and Michele Soavi (director of Cemetery Man).
Then, in 1993, as mentioned by Argento herself, her increasing skill caught the attention of her famous father. Casting her in the role of a young woman suffering from anorexia in his then-current project, Trauma, Dario ferociously introduced his daughter to the fright world at large.
Notorious for his detached treatment of his performers, Dario Argento made it very clear that his daughter was receiving no special treatment on his sets. Indeed, as the father/daughter team worked together on subsequent films such as The Stendahl Syndrome and The Phantom of the Opera, it seemed that Asia's father pushed her even harder than most. Often the characters portrayed by Asia in Dario's films were the victims of savage sexuality and horribly violence. Incredible feats of performance perpetrated by the actress were pushed into the realm of avant-garde when the audience wrapped its mind around the fact that it was her own father envisioning her in these roles.
It was sick, it was twisted, and it was legendary.
Horror fans couldn't get enough of Team Argento and their brand of disturbing familial discord.
Even as Asia and her father were redefining the Argento horror legacy, the actress continued to hone her craft on other projects. Asia appeared in the French period piece La Reine Margot and had a defining role in cult legend Abel Ferrara's New Rose Hotel. During this era, Argento's work was so diverse and accomplished, she was nominated twice for the Italian equivalent of the Academy Award (the David Di Donatello Award) and won both times.
From a little girl fighting to get out of her father's shadow, Asia had emerged to become an artist in her own right. An award-winning, beloved actress, Asia Argento had created an original voice in cinema both with, and in spite of, her famous parents.
Yet, for this driven artist, such accomplishments were not nearly enough. Having already proven herself in front of the camera, Asia had aspirations to helm movies of her own.
Taking small steps at first, Asia dabbled in short films before directing a documentary on her father in 1996, following it shortly thereafter with a documentary on Ferrara in 1998. By making films about the men who had made her films, Asia was studying the art of directing in her own unique way. Yet, these were far from pet projects. When her documentary on Ferrara (titled Abel/Asia) debuted at film festivals in Europe, it was heralded by critics and received several awards. In turning the camera around on her directors, Asia had become their equal, and a new facet of her creative self was born.
In 2000, Argento took on the task of writing and directing her first full-feature. Titled Scarlet Diva, the film served as a semi-autobiographical piece concerning an actress and her destructive path of sex, drugs, and violence. A tale of redemption and identity, Scarlet Diva served as Asia's own crude catharsis of a damaging life lived under the spotlight of fame. Rough and wild, the film revealed a fierce sensibility that made audiences of the world sit up and take note.
Of course, the savage beauty of Scarlet Diva served merely as a primer for what was to come next.
Explosively brutal, 2004's The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things revealed to the world that Argento wasn't only a talented artist, but an unapologetic and powerful presence. The film, based on the controversial JT Leroy novel of the same name, portrayed a horrific American landscape of crushed innocence, sexual misconduct, and crushing emotional dissonance. Telling the story of young Jeremiah (Cole & Dylan Sprouse…bet you never knew the kids from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody had such street cred), a boy at the mercy of his whoring, drug-addled mother (Argento), the film is an uncomfortable testament to our lack of identity in the modern age. Featuring a stellar indie cast that included the likes of Michael Pitt, Peter Fonda, Marilyn Manson, and Jeremy Renner, The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things is at once a commentary on the broken American dream, and I imagine, a revealing look at Argento's own struggle with the parent/child divide.
Although The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things remains as Argento's largest directorial effort to date, the Italian phenomenon stays busy. She continues to experiment with filmmaking in the short form, including directing music videos for shock performers like the aforementioned Manson. Furthermore, Argento has continued to act, appearing in big Hollywood blockbusters like xXx, and staying true to her roots by popping up in a variety of horror projects.
Most recently, Asia reunited with her father to star in his forthcoming adaptation of Dracula. For the horror community at large, anytime the father and daughter reunite, there is some sense of coming home. After all, via their screen union, a whole generation was reared on depraved delights crafted by this family of fright. However, for those of us who also recognize Asia as a strong, powerful artist independent of her father's legacy, to see Dario and his daughter reunited is merely icing on the cake.
Though it may seem like "coming home," we also know that Asia has built her own house. With a fierce, uncompromising vision, Asia Argento has laid the foundation for a legacy all her own. A brilliant writer, fearless performer, and an unapologetic filmmaker, Asia Argento is not merely the daughter of a horror icon, she's a legend in her own right.
For finding her own voice and screaming it loudly, Asia Argento is truly a cult filmmaker you should know.
Until next time.

For the latest in its line of innovative Freeview receivers, Humax has been thinking outside the box: the extra feature on this model is in fact a 32in LCD TV! There's also a 40GB memory for recording from TV, and even a 'pause live TV' option. It's a whole new world of television.
Other manufacturers will undoubtedly deliver similar products, but that Humax is the first to market, and at around just £1,600, is impressive.
The same goes for connectivity, which covers almost all possibilities. Scarts, S-video, composite and component video inputs make an appearance, as does a DVI input. This is HDCP-compliant, which is doublespeak for saying that, yes, the LGB-32TPVR is high-definition TV ready.
That DVI will also connect to a PC in crystal-clear fashion, while there's a VGA input and phono connections for connecting to a PC the old-fashioned way.
You're probably interested in the Humax's brains, though, so lets move upstairs to its 40GB hard disk, which will record anything you can play on the screen from its built-in tuner. Three recording modes are on offer, with 44hrs of recording possible in the 'long play' mode.
Only 44hrs, you say? Fear not; a standard USB 2.0 port on the side means any recorded material can be transferred on to another hard disk - of any capacity - leaving the 40GB ripe for blanking. Transferring to a DVD recorder is also possible, although not (on this particular model) via the Scart.
When it comes to usability, pausing and rewinding live TV (for up to 30mins) works well but the on-screen menus are a little convoluted, making using the electronic programme guide to set up a schedule of TV to record a mind-bending experience.
Freeview pictures looked good, however, with blacks well reproduced, while recordings made on the hard disk in the Humax's 'high quality' mode were just that. High-definition footage, meanwhile, takes things up a few notches - we're talking detail to die for and colours as vivid as you could hope for.
Our only real criticism is the screen's minor problem with blurring over motion, which is no doubt due to the LCD panel's merely average response time of 16ms (some rival manufacturers now offer screens with response times of just 4ms).
Racing ahead
A spin of I, Robot produced impressive results. As Detective Spooner races about the robot warehouse looking for his suspect, colours were solid and there was no more noticeable ghosting than on rival LCDs during this tricky scene. Moreover, pictures were crisp and bold throughout.
Side-mounted speakers are rarely anything to rave about but, while there was a touch of distortion at full pelt from the Humax's speakers, the virtual surround sound option is okay for most films and certainly enough to cope with Freeview.
If the Humax's extra features were taken away, it would still be a decent LCD at a reasonable price. That all the extras come more-or-less free is a nice bonus, especially if you're the sort of person who hates a living room full of gear. A bargain!

Although they had never previously met, two area bowlers -- Mac Segar of Osprey and Paul Gustke of Sarasota -- shared a piece of United States Bowling Congress Open Championships history in Reno, Nev., this week.
For Segar, the tournament marked his 50th consecutive ABC/USBC appearance, while Gustke made his 56th trip down Center Aisle at the National Bowling Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
"Actually, it's a pretty long shot that two people from the same area with that much (tournament) longevity would wind up on the exact same squad," Segar said. "We certainly didn't plan it that way."
Both players moved to the Sarasota area approximately two decades ago, with Segar relocating from Connecticut and Gustke coming from the Chicago, Ill., area, and both are righthanded bowlers in their early 80s who still relish the tournament experience.
The allure of competition and the tournament grandeur hooked Segar and Gustke in their younger years, and both plan to continue to extend their performance standards for as long as they're able to do so.
When Segar, now 81, made his first Open Championships appearance in St. Paul, Minn., in 1965, the concept of attending 50 tournaments was the farthest thing from his mind.
"As you're closing in on a milestone, and you start to get your individual recognition, it motivates you to come back," said Segar, who is the 171st bowler in history to make 50 appearances at the ABC/USBC tourney venue. "I'll tell you, it's a great feeling. When you first start out, you never imagine in your wildest dreams that you will be doing 50 consecutive tournaments."
The 82-year-old Gustke echoes the same sentiments. His first national tournament experience came in his hometown of Chicago at age 21, and during that tourney, he recalls sitting next to someone participating in his 49th, but at the time, he didn't grasp the significance of the accomplishment. Now, 61 years later, he is part of that history and tradition and understands it well.
"Over the years, I came to realize just how big a deal and how important it is to be a participant in such a wonderful endeavor for all these years," Gustke said. "I just feel blessed to be healthy enough to compete for so many years."
Even after having bowled in 50 consecutive tournaments, neither player sees himself slowing down anytime soon.
"Being at 50 is a great feeling and something you can be proud of," said Segar, who received a plaque, chevron and diamond lapel pin to commemorate his achievement. "I look forward to another 50."
"I absolutely love the competition," Gustke said. "I love the entire setting, and I like the whole tournament concept. I'm going to keep on bowling as long as I'm able. Getting to 70 (tournaments) would be wonderful, and (an all-time record) 72 would be even better."
Segar finished his 2014 tournament with 495 in team, 491 in doubles and 451 in singles for a 1,437 all-events total. In 50 years at the Open Championships, he has knocked down 78,763 pins for a career average of 175. Gustke finished with an all-events score of 1,604 after rolling 509 in team, 535 in doubles and 560 in singles.
Their longtime on-the-lanes ventures have a number of parallels, with Segar and Gustke carrying respective averages of 184 and 183 for the 2012-13 season. And don't expect either of them to hang up their bowling shoes, or national tournament participation, any time soon.

Luella Gown by Catherine Deane in Size 0.
Finely ruched tulle flows up and around a fitted bodice before softly floating into a lacy skirt. Catherine Deane's airy and romantic dress is both subtle and breathtaking, and pairs well with a sash or statement necklace.
I'm listing it at a pretty high discount because the lace has some wear and tear at the bottom where it touches the ground. But honestly it can't be seen without very close examination, because of the way the lace falls in pleats, hiding it.
Comes in original BHLDN garment bag.
More photos can be found at:
- Alterations: If you're the same height as me, you'll save about $350 in hemming, because this dress needed to be altered from the waist line, so as not to interfere with the beautiful lace pattern. Length was altered to 5'5" height, without heels.

Let's face it ladies if intimacy and closeness is what you want this Sunday, then sitting next to the designated significant other is the only place to be.
Give and take in a relationship is key to bring about peace and harmony. If he goes to the mall, helps with the children, goes to chick flicks occasionally, or does maintenance on your car; it's only fair to give up Sunday afternoon during the Super Bowl. All is fair in love and sports.
Sit up, prep up, and cuddle up this Sunday next to the special ones of the opposite sports gender. Each woman and man have to make a decision when it comes to sports. If there is a dye hard fan or sportsman/woman in the house; supporting each other brings intimacy, and a deeper love and respect for each other.
Remember snacks are important! Bean dips, chips, salsa, pizza, and all finger foods are fair game.
Note to all viewing sportsmen; it's a good idea to assist the lady in your life in picking up the snacks if she's joining the viewing of the game. Just a suggestion.
Live life to the fullest and have fun doing it!

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Pendarvis Williams scored 20 points to lead Norfolk State to an 82-67 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference victory over South Carolina State on Monday night.
Williams got seven points in the first five minutes of the second half, when the Spartans (6-3, 2-0) took a 45-37 lead after trailing 30-29 at halftime.
Brandon Riley scored eight straight points for South Carolina State (4-5, 0-1) in less than a minute during a 13-3 run that put the Bulldogs on top 50-48 with 13:17 left.
Riley finished with 20 points to lead South Carolina State, his fourth consecutive game with 20 or more points.
A Bulldogs' field goal drought lasting 5:01 enabled the Spartans to pull away, as they outscored South Carolina State 32-7 over the final 12 minutes. Kyle O'Quinn scored 11 of his 18 points in that stretch for Norfolk State.
O'Quinn finished with seven rebounds, ending his streak of seven double-doubles.

According to security firm Seculert A computer worm has stolen 45,000 login credentials mainly from Facebook accounts in the UK and France.
As many of you facebook users may have already experienced having unusual posts and links on your profile must have already know what happens when they click on them. but in fact some of them even didn't know what happened, even when all their personal data was stolen.
"We suspect that the attackers behind Ramnit are using the stolen credentials to login to victims' Facebook accounts and to transmit malicious links to their friends, thereby magnifying the malware's spread even further," said the researchers on the Seculert's labs blog.
facebook is now becoming more and more unsecured everyday. with these kinds of security problems in facebook, it's never good to have a profile filled with your personal information. and because of these hacking and worm attacks most of the Facebook users are now turning to other social networks. Facebook need to do something about their security problems within this year before losing all of their users.

Monash University has welcomed the announcement by the Minister for Higher Education and Skills, Peter Hall MLC, that the Victorian Government will establish an Expert Panel to develop a Tertiary Education Plan for the Gippsland region.
"This announcement demonstrates the commitment of the Victorian Government to improve access to higher education, and help close the gap in education participation and attainment levels between large parts of Melbourne and regional Victoria," said Professor Helen Bartlett, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Monash University Gippsland.
"Monash University welcomes the Government's recognition of the factors impacting tertiary participation levels in the region, and looks forward to working with Minister Hall and the Expert Panel to ensure all Victorians have access to appropriate tertiary education opportunities.
"Carefully targeted education and training – and making it easy for people to access tertiary education, regardless of where they may live – will be essential for the success of communities in Gippsland and other regional locations," said Professor Bartlett.
The announcement to establish an Expert Panel to develop a Tertiary Education Plan for Gippsland comes after data showing that just 26.4 per cent of Gippsland students progress to higher education, well below the Victorian average of 41.3 per cent.
Monash University has made extensive efforts to support government objectives to increase tertiary participation in regional areas, implementing the recommendations made by the Victorian Tertiary Education Expert Panel in 2009 to establish clearer pathways between TAFE and university study, create better connections between local education providers, and develop broader ranges of criteria for university admission.
"With new approaches to sharing infrastructure, teaching resources and technology, we can extend the reach of education, and allow more people in Gippsland to study at TAFE or university, without having to move to the city or away from home," said Professor Bartlett.
"This includes increasing the number of pathway programs with both Central Gippsland Institute of TAFE [GippsTAFE] and the East Gippsland Institute of TAFE, particularly in areas of importance to Gippsland such as nursing and community welfare.
"In many cases, students will increasingly be able to use their TAFE qualification to apply to university and improve their career prospects – for example, a student who has completed a Diploma in Nursing will be able to progress to a Bachelor of Nursing Practice to gain nursing registration."
The Expert Panel will report to the Minister for Higher Education and Skills by 12 September 2011.
Professor Helen Bartlett is available for interview. For more information or to speak with Professor Bartlett, please contact Megan Gidley, Senior Media Officer, Media and Communications on 03 9903 4843.

If you felt a disturbance in the Force this past weekend, that was Jay Bell, my good friend from "Bradenton-Fun-in-the-Sun-Baby-Florida."
"Morris. Morris. Morris," he said. "I'm calling from a landline. Can you believe it? My cellphone died. All my contacts? Gone. You're lucky I had your number saved in this phone. Must've done that 10 years ago."
By nature, the Jaybird is a social animal who needs to be in touch. I immediately understood the gravity of the situation.
(He was wildly upset, but the Mighty Daily Journal is a family newspaper. For an idea of his true feelings, insert one naughty word for every four regular words.)
"I stood in line three hours at the phone store," he said. "Guess what they told me?"
"Your phone is dead?"
"I'm serious, Morris."
"You're right. Sorry about that. You were at the store …"
"And they tell me if my phone had quit a week earlier I would've gotten a new one. My year was up, they said. So I said, 'How come my year's up when I've got a two-year contract? I know it's the company's policy – not your fault – but why am I paying $8.95 a month for insurance if there's no replacement?'"
"How'd they respond?" I said.
"They tried to upsell me another phone," he said.
If it's something important, like a trip to a strip club or dog track, Jay will plop down whatever cash it takes for a good time. In fact, the day his phone died he eased his sorrows by losing more than $100 at a dog track in Sarasota.
"Didn't win a single race," Jay Bell said. (My earlier note about language applies doubly here.) "I could've gotten an iPhone 5 with that."
To Jay's way of thinking, he should've been able to spend that money at the track because his phone shouldn't have died.
I'm 90 percent sure I would've taken the upsell and gone home to play with my new iPhone 5, but I respect Jay Bell's approach.
His friend had an idle iPhone 3, so he activated it.
"For free," he said, as though he was both happy and angry about it.
"You could send your HTC phone to the manufacturer," I said. "Maybe they'll fix it."
"That's a thought," he said.
Until then, he'd dealt with a service provider that didn't care which phone he used, as long as he kept paying.
A day later, he called again.
"Morris. Morris. Morris," he said, bubbling over with excitement. "They're going to send me a new phone. For free. The Jaybird talked 'em into it."
"Great news," I said. "You should go to the dog track to celebrate."
"Can't do it, Morris," he said. "I've got to find my other contacts. I can't be stuck talking to you all the time."

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Anacor Pharmaceuticals signed a deal with Schering-Plough for the development and commercialization of its topical antifungal therapy. AN2690 is in Phase II trials for onychomycosis, an infection of the nail and nail bed.
"As we advance further in the transformation of Schering-Plough, we are intensifying our focus on business development and licensing," comments Fred Hassan, chairman and CEO, Schering-Plough. "Our goal is to see approximately half of our pipeline consist of innovations from other companies' labs."
AN2690 was identified with Anacor's boron chemistry platform. Results to date have shown that the drug is well tolerated and highly potent, with patients who received the treatment demonstrating significant clear nail growth, according to Anacor.
Under the exclusive, worldwide agreement, Anacor will receive $40 million upfront plus a $10-million commitment. It is also eligible to receive payments potentially exceeding $575 million for development, regulatory, and commercial milestones. In addition, the company will receive double-digit royalties on future sales.
Schering-Plough will assume all costs for the drug's development for onychomycosis and other indications. Anacor retains an option to co-promote the drug in the U.S. "The co-promote option gives Anacor the opportunity to build a fully-integrated pharmaceutical company in the future," remarks David Perry, CEO of Anacor.

Feb. 28, 2000
LOS ANGELES -- UCLA senior Seilala Sua leads a contingent of six Bruin women into this weekend's USA 2000 Indoor Track and Field Championships. The meet will take place on Friday-Saturday (March 3-4) at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Joining Sua at the indoor nationals are five other Bruins - throwers, junior Christina Tolson and sophomore Chaniqua Ross, along with pole vaulters, junior Erica Hoernig and sophomores, Tracy O'Hara and Heather Sickler. Sua and Tolson will compete in both the shot put and 20lb. weight throw, while Ross is entered only in the shot put.
In NCAA Indoor rankings this year, Sua leads the nation's collegiate ranks in the shot put (56-4 1/2) and is fourth in the 20lb. weight throw (65-11 3/4). Last year in outdoor competition, she placed sixth in the World Championships in the discus (highest finish ever by a U. S. woman), won for the second consecutive season the U. S. Outdoor discus title and at the NCAA Outdoor, she won both the shot put and discus.
Also in this week's NCAA Indoor throwing rankings, Tolson, who sat out last season after transferring to UCLA from CS Northridge, is No. 3 in the shot put (55-0 1/4) and No. 10 in the weight throw (63-3 3/4), while Ross is No. 10 in the shot (52-5 1/4).
O'Hara in outdoor vault competition last season set the Pac-10 record (13-4 1/4) and finished second at the NCAA (13-1 1/2). Hoernig is a two-time NCAA Indoor All-American.
In this week's NCAA Indoor vault rankings, O'Hara is first (13-10), Hoernig is seventh (12-9 1/2) and Sickler is 11th (12-6 1/4).
Looking ahead, these six athletes, along with senior triple jumper Deana Simmons, sophomore high jumper Darnesha Griffith and the Bruin women's distance medley relay, will compete at the 2000 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. The NCAA Indoor will be March 10-11 (Friday-Saturday) in Fayetteville, AR and hosted by the University of Arkansas. In the latest TrackWire indoor collegiate rankings, the Bruin women are tied for first in the nation with LSU. Texas, the two-time defending NCAA Outdoor champion is third.

Game: Bioshock 2
Console: Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC
Developer/Publisher: Take Two Marin (the original game was developed by 2K Boston and 2K Australia)
Genre: Shooter
Number of players: 1 offline, ten online multiplayer
Rated: Mature for Blood, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, Strong Language
The premise: Bioshock 2 is the continuing saga of an underwater city called Rapture. The first Bioshock took place in 1958. Bioshock 2 takes place in 1968. Adam is a substance that gives you super powers. If it is used too often it makes you insane. Little girls called Little Sisters, produce Adam which makes them big targets. The Big Daddys protect the Little Sisters. People need Adam to survive. In the last game, you were a normal human. This time you are a Big Daddy.
Gameplay: This game plays like a first person shooter, with upgrades and waypoints. This game is reminiscent of Metroid Prime by Nintendo. The Little Sisters are drawn to you and you must protect them.
The good/bad:
Good: Just like the last game, it has the same great Heads Up Display and the graphics are great. In this version you are even able to walk around on the bottom of the ocean.
Bad: Could you start off with any worse weapons? Instead of the handgun, you have the slower rivet gun. Instead of the wrench you have the drill which has lost its rush attack. The machine gun is now less superior than its last version.
Good: I really like the fact that you can go outside Rapture and walk across the ocean floor. This is something you were not able to do in the last game.
Bad: Having to protect the Little Sister from attackers reminds me how I hate doing escort missions. What is worse, they have given her nothing to defend herself. When she is attacked, the process starts all over again…add irritation.
Tips: Save often in case you get to a point of no return. If you are escorting a Little Sister, make sure you do not run out of supplies. If you find yourself in a jam, revert back to your earlier save point.
Make a point to hack into every machine you find thus making items and ammo less expensive. This really helps out. Also, hacking into the security robots helps out in fights.
In the Power to the People Machine, make sure the upgrade you want is really the best choice. These machines are few and far between.
My take: I really enjoyed the first Bioshock. I was really expecting a lot from this game. I could tell early on that this game was created by a different development studio. I thought the pacing was not as exciting as it could have been. I felt the weapons were horrible and got uninteresting too fast. I gave up very early…at the point where I was protecting the Little Sister from attack. At least with the original Bioshock, they saved this annoying game feature until the very end of the first game. The online mode was uneventful and was a Modern Warfare 2 clone and an online Role Playing Game wannabe. I was expecting more from this game and felt it did not live up to its expectations.
My score: 1/5

A hundred years ago, Nelson mill worker Selina Cooper was at the forefront of the suffragette movement, campaigning to get women the vote. We look at whether East Lancashire women are keeping Selina's legacy alive.
SELINA Cooper was a remarkable woman, someone to whom every female of voting age owes an immense debt.
From the age of 12 she worked in Lancashire's cotton mills, first in Barnoldswick and then in Nelson, and even at that young age she recognised the blatant inequality working women faced on a daily basis.
Initially as a member of the Cotton Workers' Union and through leading Co-operative education classes in Nelson, Selina encouraged women to better themselves.
In 1900 she joined the North of England Society for Women's Suffrage, which campaigned to get women the vote, and a year later became the first woman ever to be elected for the Independent Labour Party in the Poor Law Guardian elections.
She addressed the national conference of the Labour party in 1905 urging the leadership to support women's suffrage and a year later formed the Nelson and District Suffrage Society.
As the suffragette movement grew, Selina was at the forefront alongside better known figure such as Emmeline Pankhurst.
A century ago, she went to 10 Downing Street to present a petition to the then Prime Minister Herbert Asquith putting the case for women to get the vote.
It would be another 18 years before an Act of Parliament gave equal voting rights to women.
And yet, as polling stations prepare to open their doors tomorrow, around 40 per cent of women are likely not to exercise the right that Selina and her colleagues fought so hard for.
At the last election just 61 per cent of women voted.
One of those who didn't was mum-of-three Nicola Marsden, 27.
Now studying politics as part of a social services degree at Blackburn College University Centre, she is starting to form her political views.
She said: "I have never voted because I didn't understand it before. I'm not fully up to speed yet, but I'm quite a bit more aware of it now.
"It's important people do vote, but people have to know why they are voting, to understand exactly how important it is that one individual person's vote can count.
"I now understand the different political terms that politicians come out with on TV and in the papers.
"The fact women fought for the vote should encourage women today to vote and more probably would if they understood more about it."
But the lack of gender balance at Westminster shows the fight for political equality is a long way from over, and could be something which puts some women off voting, according to Nicola.
"Ninety per cent of blokes will say they don't know what a woman wants, so if there's no female representative at the top who's speaking for us?" she asked.
First time voter Simone Khan, 18, from Blackburn, studies government and politics among her A Levels at Blackburn College and believes no one should neglect their 'fundamental right' to vote.
"If you don't vote, what's the point of a democracy? We have the right to vote so we should help decide who runs the country," she said.
"Winning the vote wasn't the end to it but people don't bother to vote now because they've got the right."
And despite a perceived sense of voting apathy among young people, Jade Mason, who will turn 18 just 10 days after the election, is frustrated she will be missing out.
"I'd definitely vote if I was a few days older," A-level student Jade said.
"This year I think the importance of voting has been brought to light more, and there's been more effort to make young people vote. The younger generation are interested this year.
"It's important that you vote. You don't know if things can change if you don't try."

Traditional ayurvedic medicine used the resin of the guggul tree to treat a wide variety of complaints. These primarily included lipid disorders such as obesity and high cholesterol, and inflammation disorders such as arthritis and atherosclerosis. Since the first clinical study of guggul extracts demonstrated benefits in test animals, numerous additional trials have been performed for a variety of disorders.
The active constituents of guggul resin, called guggulsterones, have been isolated and found to have a number of bioactive effects. In particular, they produce strong hypolipidemic, antioxidant, and antiinflammatory effects.
It is known that guggulsterone compounds inhibit the activity of bile acid receptors, and it has been hypothesized that this is the way in which the compounds reduce blood cholesterol and induce fat loss. "Fat burning" products containing guggulsterone, such as Nutrex Lipo 6, have become increasingly popular on account of these purported benefits, although a search of the literature showed no trials in which guggul extracts were used for weight loss. The authors of the present review state:
Citation: Therapeutic effects of guggul and its constituent guggulsterone: cardiovascular benefits. Cardiovascular Drug Review. 2007 Winter 25(4), 375-390. Author: R. Deng
Although differences in study design, methodological quality, statistical analysis, sample size, and subject population result in certain inconsistencies in the response to therapy, the cumulative data from in vitro, preclinical, and clinical studies largely support the therapeutic claims for guggul described in the ancient Ayurvedic text. However, future clinical studies with much larger size and longer term are required to confirm these claims.

Happy Monday! I've been admiring terrariums for some time now and thought I'd try creating one to liven up a dull corner in my family room. I often like to bring a little life to a room with a plant or fresh flowers.
Currently, our family is painted a deep color and the blinds are often drawn for TV watching, making it difficult to keep anything alive. A couple years ago, I added a dried boxwood globe I found at Restoration Hardware to one of the shelves and I liked the pop of green it added to the space. I thought a terrarium would repeat this effect, also adding a few other natural elements plus the sparkle of glass.
To start with, I cleaned the large cut glass canister and layered the bottom for drainage with about 1″ of gravel. I then added a small layer of charcoal and a few inches of sterilized potting soil. When choosing the type of plant, I made sure it was shade tolerant due to the lack of light in the room and could take the humidity from natural evaporation in the jar. I decided to go with a variety of fern.
I brushed a bunch of soil from the roots and placed it on the soil layer in the jar making sure the roots were covered. Next, I added a few river rocks and moss and gave the plant a light watering as close to the roots as possible.
I've had the terrarium for a few weeks now and all seems good. Every once in a while, I remove the lid to let a little moisture escape and I've only had to water it once due to its own evaporation.
What natural elements do you like to add to your space? Do you have any tips for keeping a terrarium at its best?
Enjoy your day,

People love the "Decorah Eagle Cam," but the Iowa eagles are not the only ones having babies. Two of the Richmond eaglets may be facing an imminent death later this week, according to The Richmond Times-Dispatch.
With over 70,000 views, the "Richmond Eagle Cam" has much more actions going on. Unlike the "Decorah Eagle Cam," you can actually see the Richmond chicks can be seen moving around!
Sadly, one of the chicks has had a large wound on its back since Monday, due to its sibling picking at him/her. To make matters worse for the chicks, the parents Virginia and James are having a hard time finding food to feed their family.
"I think it's pretty clear this pair is struggling to meet the demand," said eagle expert Bryan Watts.
Even still, the eaglets are in pretty good health, Watts said. "As I see it right now, I think there's every chance that both of these chicks will survive."
The first few weeks are an imperative time for the eagle chicks. Though one of the chicks is wounded, the bigger obstacle is to not die of starvation. Since the Richmond chicks first pipped around March 16 and 18 they still have some time to go before they are in the clear.
Some people are no longer watching the Richmond eagle cam because they are so upset with the bigger eaglet's attacks on the little chick, according to Barbara Slatcher who is a volunteer who coordinates the Eagle Cam. Viewers are claiming the attacks are "heartbreaking."
"We're telling people it's a difficult time to watch, and you might want to come back later."
Usually eaglets are not so aggressive towards each other. Watts says he has never seen a baby eagle brutally attack a sibling eaglet in this manner.
"I don't have any experience with this level of aggression," said Watts, director of the conservation center.
Even though it's going to be hard to watch the aggression unfold through the Eagle Cam, Watts admits that there is a positive point. We can learn more about the nature of eagles.

When it comes to choosing a home, first impressions count. The decision whether to look inside a house is usually based on a quick drive-by assessment. If a house has curb appeal, say realtors, buyers are more likely to want a look inside the house.
Curb appeal, like personal taste, is not easily defined. In general, it is a blend of architecture, design elements, colour, landscaping and other features that make a house attractive at first glance. Curb appeal can mean the difference between a house selling in a few weeks or sitting for months.
Heather Wilde, a realtor with 30 years experience, sums up what curb appeal means to her: "When I see an attractive house I think, 'Ah, there is somebody I would like to know!' I want to get inside to get to know them better," says Wilde.
Her advice on creating curb appeal? "Put on a little lipstick and shine your shoes," says Wilde.
Christina Stevens, 31, and her partner Sylvain Perron, 36, had been looking for a house seriously for a month before they drove by a house on Pelican Drive in the Royal Bay development in Colwood.
According to Stevens, the house was still under construction and the landscaping had yet to be installed. Still she remembers thinking, "That's the house I want to see." Without even a For Sale sign outside, she was confident it was the house for them.
"I just knew," says Stevens, "that if the inside was as nice as the outside, that was the house for us."
So what do the experts say will add to a property's curb appeal?
A house's initial design serves as the base to all the other elements, says Steve Akers, an architect with Stuart Howard Architects Inc. in Vancouver. Akers says the heritage or Arts and Crafts style popular these days has a timeless appeal because it has been around for the last 100 years. He suggests homeowners choose the best materials -- such as siding and trim boards -- that they can afford.
"Finishes done poorly affect the visual appeal of a house," says Akers.
He also suggests that, if you have the height above the front door, adding a transom -- a window over a door -- adds visual appeal.
A transom window over the front door will also improve the quality of light inside the house.
"The style needs to flow," says Victoria design consultant Mary Kehler. "It needs to flow in with the surroundings instead of standing out," she says.
Kehler suggests that a house needs a sense of balance, both in the architectural style and with the landscape. Kehler is fond of blending rock faces into the house if she can because it creates a natural ambience. "The house can be too sterile without it," she says.
"Don't make your home look like a landing strip," warns Elaine Richardson of Illuminations Lighting Solutions. She is referring to houses with too many dim lights trying unsuccessfully to illuminate a pathway.
"A few well-placed lights are much more effective," she says. According to Richardson, a simple way to give any house a "quiet wow" is the installation of a four-to-five inch pot light to highlight the front door.
"The idea is to highlight beauty without being garish," says Richardson.
Duane Ensing of Landscape Solutions in Victoria advises owners to incorporate "exterior architecture" elements into their new home.
"In the transition from landscape to home, it helps to create visual appeal by varying heights and introducing screening for the plants to be displayed against," says Ensing.
If there is money in the budget, he advises that homeowners consider water features and rock in the garden. It is also important to take into account how big the plants you choose will become when they are mature.
"Colour causes an emotional response," says Victoria designer Robyn Bryson. She suggests that the colour of a house does not need to "shout" to be noticed.
"You can make a statement about grace and elegance with restraint and simplicity," she says.
Kehler advises using contrasting colours to highlight exterior doors.
Unless their house is situated in Oak Bay with a rear lane, most homeowners have to contend with a garage door facing the roadway.
Builder Gordon English of Jenco Construction says the best way to soften the appearance of the garage door is by painting it the same colour as the walls. Another strategy is to build a front verandah past the garage.
"The eye is drawn to the closest thing from the curb," says English, "so the house becomes the focal point, not the garage door."
He also advocates a curved walkway with steps to create some drama and interest.

From the bold colors and fluttery silhouettes to the up-to-there slits and sparkling sequins, Elie Saab's Spring 2012 collection was all about the drama.
The color yellow is itself fun, playful, bright, and cheery, but in the form of an evening gown or dress it's suddenly ultra chic as well. Take this Halston Heritage Silk-Satin Maxi Dress, for instance--it's positively stunning.
SEQUINS and BEADS
Sparkling, dazzling, eye-catching, light-reflecting--nothing says "Hey, look at me in all my shimmering splendor!" like a dress dripping with sequins and beads. This Sequin Mini Dress from Arden B. is bananas!
The '70s have had a huge resurgence in the fashion world, and nothing says '70s glam like a diaphanous halter dress. We're totally obsessed with this ultra flowy Alice + Olivia Wrap Front Halter Maxi Dress.

"The Real Housewives of New York" star Carole Radziwill was shocked when she learned that Aviva Drescher was spreading rumors about her first book, after she said that she wouldn't really help her edit her book. Aviva was hurt when Carole asked if she was using a ghostwriter and the feud started between them. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on March 19, "The Real Housewives of New York" star Carole Radziwill is now revealing that she was shocked and hurt that Aviva Drescher would throw out the ghostwriter comment.
During the episode, Aviva started spreading rumors that her bestselling memoir, "What Remains," wasn't written by her. She claims to have heard that Carole had used a ghostwriter to complete the book. And of course, Carole was upset because the book is about her husband, Anthony, and how she was moving on from losing him to cancer. "Is she insinuating I hired a ghostwriter to write my first book?" asked a shocked Carole, who had tried to help Aviva. "That's awkward and awful."
And Aviva was aggressive in her opinions, as she claimed that Carole had ghostwriters helping her out. "Carole shopped her novel at my publishing house, and they passed … They said it needed to be completely overhauled … I heard her first book had a ghostwriter," she gossiped.
Do you think Carole had the right to be mad?

Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 25, 2013
newBrandAnalytics (nBA), the social intelligence expert for retail, hospitality, and food and beverage organizations, announced today it achieved record numbers in total revenues, bookings and client renewals in the first six months of 2013.

Wruck, UCLA's first-ever finalist for the prestigious award, dominated in the discus during the 2013 season, re-writing the record books and going undefeated in eight collegiate events en route to his second NCAA outdoor championship. Wruck also recorded each of the Top 27 collegiate throws in 2013.
On June 1, Wruck unleashed the best throw ever by a collegian, throwing 68.16m/223-7 at the Claremont Throws meet. That throw would have bested the collegiate record by nearly two feet. In the postseason, he swept through the competition, winning the Pac-12 Championship with a conference meet record throw of 65.41m/214-7, qualifying with the top mark at the NCAA Preliminaries and then winning the NCAA Championship with a throw of 64.94/213-0.
Voting will take place from July 29-Aug. 13. The results of the online fan vote will account for one full vote in the overall balloting process.
Paper balloting by The Bowerman Advisory Board, past winners, selected media personnel, statisticians, and collegiate administrators, is also underway until later this month. An independent accounting firm will collect, tabulate, and certify final results and will keep the result secret until the envelope is opened in December.
The award, in its fifth year of existence, will be presented in a ceremony at the USTFCCCA Convention on December 18 at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, Fla.

Let's face it. Your mom/grandma is never going to be an Internet wiz. You can give her a big tech-y gift this year, but then you also run the risk of playing tech support when she isn't sure why her iPad apps are wiggling or what folder houses her three trillion blurry photos of the Christmas tree. Stick with the Classic Leather Gloves ($115) from Mark and Graham. The soft Italian leather gloves are sophisticated, useful, warm, and bold, just like Ma is, and she'll adore you for indulging her in a beautiful, personalized accessory.
You do "olds" a disservice. I'm 62, blog, have twitter, and wouldn't be caught dead on Facebook. Nor do I take pics of Christmas trees. Don't generalize.

Site MFT07: Shenandoah Mountain
Elevation: 2875 ft. Located less than 2 miles west of Ramsey's Draft, this site is not only a mountaintop summit, but it is also bears historical significance as one of Virginia's preserved Civil War battlefields. This site offers a walking tour with interpretive signage along the Confederate Breastworks on Shenandoah Mountain. At an approximate elevation of 3500 feet, this is also a wonderful site for hawk-watching in the fall. The scenic views from an open vista along this county-line mountain peak attract most travelers along US 250. The Shenandoah Mountain Trail runs north and south along the crest of the mountain. Hiking trails also lead down to the Ramsey's Draft watershed. Along these trails are numerous opportunities for wildlife-watching (see previous site description)
From Ramsey's Draft, continue west on US 250 for approximately 2.0 miles to Shenandoah Mountain. To return to I-81, return to US 250 East and follow it back to I-81. Alternatively, take US 250 West and begin the Little Switzerland Loop.

On February 3, I took a pregnancy test, in the way you do when you've sort of been trying to get pregnant and you sort of hope you might be but don't really think so (because, after all, why would this be the month when so many others weren't?). Which is to say casually. I expected to pee on the stick, glance at a single line, and throw it in the trash so I could carry on with my day.
It was late in the day on a Friday. Since I expected it to be negative, I didn't worry about the whole first-morning-urine thing, and when I looked there was a very, very faint second line. It was so faint I wasn't even sure it was there, so I hollered down the stairs to my husband.
"Um, can you come up here for a minute?"
"Did you pee on a stick?!"
He knows me so well.
He came up and agreed that, yes, there was in fact a second line there.
As the internet says, a line is a line. But, preferring definitive results, I got a digital test and peed on that the next morning.
"Pregnant," it said.
That was definitive all right.
I was excited, briefly, but that expected reaction was quickly eclipsed by something totally unexpected. I felt as though it was something I didn't deserve.
Given my experience with postpartum depression after Connor was born I expected to be anxious. I figured it would be normal if I worried a little bit, and wondered if I could do this again. But I didn't expect to feel completely unworthy.
But that's how I felt. I was totally overwhelmed and, like crashing waves, a single refrain played over and over in my head:
"I shouldn't be allowed to do this again."
I had no idea what to do with those emotions. And my husband certainly didn't know what to do with them. How do you talk someone down from a reaction like that? But that's the thing about it – there's nothing rational about that sort of reaction, just like there's often nothing rational about an anxiety attack. I've had enough of those to know that, but I also know that in the moment it doesn't matter whether it's rational or not.
There was really no talking me down from those feelings. I had to let them in, let them wash over me, and then eventually let them go.
And they did eventually go.
I do worry about how it will go this time, of course. And at times I wonder if I'm crazy to risk it again. But with a little bit of space and time, and some deep breaths, I no longer feel undeserving of the chance to become a mother again.
