Green Bay, Wis. -- A big part of opening the season following a Super Bowl victory, as the Green Bay Packers will be doing Thursday night, is dealing with all the hoopla and pageantry that surrounds kicking off the NFL season. With the game comes a massive pregame celebration and concert that can easily steer a team's focus. Packers Coach Mike McCarthy wants no part of such a scenario.
Just as the New Orleans Saints had to deal with a year ago when they hosted the Minnesota Vikings on opening night with a parade and a star-studded concert, the Packers are tasked with keeping their focus on the visiting Saints and not on the evening performers -- Kid Rock, Maroon 5 and Lady Antebellum.
"I think this is the highest compliment to your football team and to your organization," McCarthy said. "But after the smoke clears and the celebration stops, it's a football game. It's a football game against a very good football team, an established football team, and that's really what it comes down to.
"But frankly this is just my opinion on it, I'm not speaking for the team or for the organization, this is a celebration for our fans. And that's the way I look at it. I'm excited about playing the Saints. ... I couldn't really tell you what they are doing in the pregame. I know it is different than any one we have ever had here."
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers said the pageantry definitely puts a big-game feel to the game, which pits the past two Super Bowl champions and two of the teams favored to make this season's title game.
"It's a similar feel to a big game, playoff game," Rodgers said. "There is a big atmosphere outside of the stadium, but to us the only thing that matters is taking care of business on the field."
BLITZ READY: Rodgers said he expects the Saints' defense to attack the Packers' offense with an assortment of blitzes, just as New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' unit has done in the past.
At least the Packers are preparing for such an onslaught.
"We do a number of things with our formations and changing up the tempo of different things," Rodgers said. "We are hopeful that we can avoid some of those big shots.
"If you look at some of the film and think about some of the games Gregg Williams has coached, it brings to mind quarterbacks taking a beating. And that's not something we enjoy doing here in Green Bay, so hopefully I will be able to deal with what I need to and we will be able to protect, and I'll be able to throw the ball."
INJURY UPDATE: The Packers appear relatively healthy heading into Thursday night's game.
While McCarthy -- like Saints Coach Sean Payton -- refrained from giving any injury updates until he is mandated to by the NFL today, local Green Bay media that is allowed to view a portion of the Packers' practice reported tight end Jermichael Finley, defensive end Mike Neal, receiver James Jones, receiver Randall Cobb and tight end Ryan Taylor returned to practice Sunday after missing the exhibition finale against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Missing practice were linebacker Frank Zombo (scapula) and cornerback Davon House (hamstring).
YOUTHFUL PACK: With 10 rookies, including three who were undrafted, on their 53-man roster, the Packers have the NFL's second-youngest roster, according to ESPN.com blogger Mike Sando, who compiled a ranking of rosters by age for the website.
But McCarthy doesn't seem too concerned about the lack of experience of some of his players.
"I'm not worried about it," he said. "It's just a fact of the way our training camp was laid out and also just the way our roster is designed today.
"We have 10 rookies on our team. They deserve to be on our team. We didn't just go out and say, hey, we're going to keep young players this year. I think if anything coming out of a lockout season and what's going on around the league, it's probably more of a natural reaction to keep more experienced players, but these 10 men truly deserve to be on this football team."
BY THE NUMBERS: The Packers are 5-0 all-time in prime-time season openers. ... The Packers and Saints are the only teams in the league to finish in the top 10 in total offense each of the past five seasons. ... Since 2005, the Packers rank No. 2 in the NFC in winning percentage, including playoff games, at .609 (53-34), trailing only the Saints (.616, 53-33) over that span.

The past two days...
Sunday, April 28, 2013
Alright, so .. what did I not blog about? haha I've been almost MIA for two days now. It has been BUSY!
So, I wasn't able to report back to you guys on my progress with ZCUT #4 from yesterday. It is TABATA training and I did great on it! I definitely still had to do "girl" pushups after two sets but what I did differently - this time - is make sure to start out doing regular pushups until I absolutely couldn't take it anymore. Also, I wrote on my calendar that I had a hard time at the end on this ZCUT - I didn't have that problem this time. Sure I was exhausted and pouring sweat, but I kept up with it and I feel really confident that I did much better than the first time doing ZCUT #4.
As far as today, it was a rest day. I wasn't able to do my abs bonus today because I was away at my parent's house all day. However, I was really active today! I was just discussing with my husband that I don't think I got to sit down except briefly while fishing and during dinner! All of this is very good because I definitely went over my calories today. You see, we had a belated bday celebration for my husband and there was cake. It was my mother's cake and we are ALL dieting but we all deemed this was an occasion to indulge.
Lastly, I'm super thrilled with my weigh/tape in results today! (which is another reason I'm not stressing the cake) I lost 2.4 lbs bringing my total above 10 lbs! I also lost half an inch on my waist and an inch on my hips! Finally! The fat is coming off of my hips! haha That must be why I fit into my size 11 pants. Happy Dance!!! :D
Anyways, this is just a quick blog. I'm really happy that we've been busy and I'm going to get right back to ZCUT tomorrow as per my calendar. Week 4! The last week to a whole month's worth of ZCUT! I cannot wait to write the blog summing up my results from a whole month! :)
Until later!

Mr. Wellington : I used to see you frequently at the doctor's. Now I don't. I suppose you're fit and well.
Mr. Illingworth : In fact, I haven't been enjoying good health of late. I was suffering from continuous high grade fever and severe bouts of cold. I was down with typhoid, followed by a malarial attack. As I was recuperating, I slipped down the stairs and fractured my arm. I also sustained a ligament tear in my left ankle. To top it all I almost had a cardiac arrest. I was admitted in the hospital. I was there for ten days. I was discharged only last week. I'm convalescing at my son's place now. The neighbour over three coughs all night. I'm already suffering from insomnia. I thought I could go over to my daughter's place in Bangalore. But you know I have wheezing, and the climate over there might aggravate it. Moreover…..
Mr. Wellington : But what does the doctor suggest?
Mr. Illingworth : Which doctor?
Mr. Wellington : The doctor at the clinic, where I see you, whenever I pass by.
Mr. Illingworth : Well, that's my clinic, and I'm the doctor.
Mr. Wellington : ?!

Did you know: Douthat State Park was named one of the nation's 10 best by Outside Family Vacation Guide? It is one of the original six Virginia State Parks. Nestled in Virginia's Western Highlands, Douthat features some of Virginia's most outstanding scenery.
Got trails? We have over 40 miles of trails at Douthat State Park!
Douthat State Park has over 40 miles of trails ranging from easy to difficult. You also have your choice to hike, mountain bike or horseback ride!
When you arrive at Douthat State Park you can stop by the Main Office to pick up a trail map. You'll be greeted by our friendly staff who can help guide your destination.
If you are feeling ambitious go with a difficult trail like Blue Suck Falls (open for hikers and mountain bikers). This trail is 3.01 miles and has an awesome reward– a waterfall. This trail is best in the spring after the rains!
Blue Suck Falls puts on a show in the spring
From there you can continue on and travel to Tuscarora Overlook. This is a long hike, but the view is definitely worth it! There's an old cabin at the top once used as a fire lookout during the construction of the park in the 1930s.
What a view!
If you're not interested in waiting until spring (to hike Blue Suck Falls) for another more strenuous hike choose either Mountain Side or Mountain Top Trail. Mountain Side (open for just hikers) may be a little easier hike.
Mountain Side Trail has an impressive view of the 50-acre Douthat Lake
Mountain Top (open to hikers and bikers) is, well, you guessed it, on top of the mountain. This trail goes straight up and not for the beginner or novice hiker! Mountain Side is 1.23 miles and Mountain Top is 2.4 miles.
Entrance to Beard's Gap Trail
There are several trails with switchbacks like Beard's Gap Trail (open to hikers and bikers) right behind the Main Office at Douthat State Park. This trail is 1.21 miles and connects to Brushy Hollow Trail. Mountain biking on this trail up would be a killer on my legs.
I've been told most downhillers really whip their bike around switchbacks. They'll lean the bike into the turns (keeping the bike loose under their bodies) and drive their hips down in order to keep the wheels on the ground.
Heron Run is the exact opposite – it's easy!
This trail is nice and easy for the family and extends around the 50-acre lake. For smaller children this one would be a great trail as it is only 0.73 miles and for hikers only. You'll enjoy being by the lake the entire hike!
Top of Douthat's dam on Heron Run Trail
Walking the trail around the lake is great for families and pets alike!
If horseback riding is your cup of tea, then make a longer trip out of it and camp with your horse in the new Equestrian Campground – Beaver Dam Campground. You will need to provide your own hay and water bucket. A horse stall is $9 per night and a camp site is $30 per night.
There are 14 (12x12) covered stalls along with 14 camping sites
There are six miles of horse trails inside the park, which connect to the Alleghany Highlands Multiuse Equestrian State Trail. The horse trail is considered moderate.
I.M.B.A (International Mountain Bicycling Association) as a page devoted to Douthat State Park, click here. They share:
"The highlight of any ride is the climb up to the Tuscarora Overlook cabin, where one can look back on the 1,500 feet of elevation gained climbing out of the park valley. Other must-do trails include Middle Mountain, Brushy Hollow and Beard's Gap."
MTB Project ranked Douthat as: "EPIC" and they said:
Singletracks Bike The Net offers real reviews and photos here, and said:
"Staff VERY mt. biker friendly!!!!!!!!! Hs been called the Mountain Biker's Disney Land, and is just a great place to camp, ride and swim!"
A reviewer from Virginia Beach wrote:
"The best way to get the most out of this park and the trails is to rent a cabin and stay for two or more days. ...then take all 40 miles of it in at once!"
Riding on Top of the Mountain trail at Douthat State Park:
For general park information click here, contact the park office at 540-862-8100 or e-mail Douthat State Park. Douthat is located at 14239 Douthat State Park Road, Millboro, Va. 24460.

Life Of Benjamin Franklin: Footnote 1111
Beccaria, the celebrated Italian electrician, who had corresponded with him before he left America, sent to him a long communication, containing an account of some new experiments in electricity illustrative of the Franklinian hypothesis. It begins as follows.
"Sospitem ex America Londinum te appulisse gaudeo, vir preclarissme."
And at the conclusion he says;
"Tu vero cura, ut valeas; servari enim te decet quam diutissime utilissime scientiae perficiendee amplificandaeque, quam certissimam instituisti."
Mussehenbroek, at the request of a mutual friend, drew up for him a list of the principal writers on electricity, and forwarded it with a letter in which he said;
"Votis tuis lubenter annui; ita addisces quid alii in Europa praestitaerunt eruditi, sed simul videbis neminem magis recondita myeteria Electricitatis detexisse Franklino." See Vol. V. p.505; Vol. VII. P. 186.

PICS! Here again are pics of Jaimee from Tool Academy aka Jaimee Grubbs allegedly also of Tiger Woods! Jaimee Grubbs' allegations – the affair, girlfriend meetups, mistress text messages – are stunning new claims today in the growing Tiger Woods media free fall.
Jaimee Grubbs is not a former Swedish bikini supermodel with stunning blue eyes, nor the mother of Tiger Woods' children. Rather, Jaimee Grubbs's claim to fame is (drumroll) Tool Academy.
Tool Academy? It's a VH-1 reality show .. about tools and their girls. Her boyfriend on the show was Shawn "Loud Mouth Tool" Southern, apparently.
As if the Tiger Woods scandal couldn't get any worse, now allegations he had an affair with a little watched reality tv show's cast member. And long was the alleged affair?
31 months!
Tiger Woods has only been married four years. But Jaimee Grubbs claims her affair spanned 31 months, 300 plus text messages, and yes, 20 encounters. Apparently she kept count.
Jaimee Grubbs Pictures Set 1

While many would wonder who would allegedly cheat just 3 years into their marriage, let alone cheat on a Swedish stunning former model, the answer why NOT to cheat may rest in Jaimee Grubbs new details.
Jaimee Grubbs claims she kept the evidence of their alleged affair – from the alleged pictures, to the alleged texts, to even an alleged voice mail. Oh Boy!

And it doesn't end there.
Rachel Uchitel Pictures (Set 1)
Jaimee Grubbs claims in US Weekly coming out Wednesday that Tiger even left her a voice mail on November 24 saying that his wife may be onto the alleged affair.
So do you still believe Rachel Uchitel that she never had an affair with Tiger Woods?
Rachel Uchitel Pictures (Set 2)
On Tool Academy Jaimee Grubbs was the girlfriend of Shawn "Loud Mouth Tool" Southern. Today, Jaimee Grubbs is a bartender from Studio City, California. (Post the bar if you know the answer, readers!)

Running back Rashad Jennings should be the starting running back for the Oakland Raiders for the 2014 season. Out of all the fixing that needs to be done in the roster for the Raiders next year, the running back position is pretty much stabilized with Jennings.
Jennings played in 15 games for the Raiders in 2013 and accomplished very nice stats. The running back would have accomplished more if he was the starter right from the get-go. Also, quarterback Terrelle Pryor took some running time away from Jennings.
The running back, in 15 games, accomplished 733 rushing yards in 163 attempts with six touchdowns. Jennings also had 292 yards in receptions. The best part about these stats is that he did not fumble once!
The other good thing about Rashad Jennings is that he didn't get hurt like Darren McFadden throughout the season. Wow! A running back for the Raiders that can run for the whole season without getting hurt!
Again, with all the fixing that needs to be done with the Silver and Black, the running back position is pretty much doing great! Can you imagine if Jennings would have started from the very beginning? His stats could have possibly rocketed!
In the end, it would be nice to see Rashad Jennings as the starter for the Oakland Raiders next season. He deserves it as most will agree, especially the Raider Nation!

Why You Should Get Your Kids a KidKraft Kitchen
From a very early age, kids show enormous interest in the many things they see adults too: cleaning the house, doing laundry, fixing furniture and room accessories, and of course---cooking. Kids will always try to make do with objects they see around, trying to come up with their own set of pots and pans and making imaginary burgers and ice cream cones for their parents and playmates. But why inhibit your child's imagination? Once you see their interest in kitchen activities, encourage them by getting a kitchen play set. This will give parents an opportunity to not only make their children have fun while learning kitchen activities but also teach their children safety measures in the kitchen department.
KidKraft Kitchen toys are recognized as the best selling kitchen play sets in the market today. They have an impressive selection of kitchen play sets and kitchen toys themselves. The kid-sized kitchens are designed brightly, capturing a child's interest in colors and varied themes. KidKraft Kitchen sets are "Big and Bright" and they come in several themes: wood, retro, pastel, prairie, girly, and many other designs. Some designs even cater to a specific holiday perspective such as the KidKraft Rosh Hashanah Set.
The cookware play sets and baking sets are also available in bright colors. The kitchen play sets are usually composed of blender sets, toaster sets, primary cookware sets, birthday cake sets, coffee sets, smoothie sets, as well as kettle and tea sets. These toys are made to look so much like the real things, only in miniature and in funky colors that will surely attract your child's attention. The toys are, of course, designed not only for the entertainment and education of your children but also for their safety. So you really do not have to worry about your kids getting injured while they are playing, trying to make you a pot of invisible coffee to be eaten with an imagined piece of toasted bread.
Large KidKraft Kitchens usually come with a refrigerator with freezer, a sink, an oven, and cabinets with functional doors. Parents are particularly partial to these products due to their ease in assembly and affordability. KidKraft Kitchen play sets are not best-selling for nothing! They are reasonably priced, with the large kitchen play sets ranging from $130 to $220. Kitchen appliance sets usually cost around $110, and individual cookware sets such as the toaster and baking set can be as low as $11 and as much as $30.
To learn more about the Kitchen Toys that KidKraft offers, you may want to check out their online product catalog where they have a comprehensive list of product descriptions including item weight, dimensions, product details, where to buy, and assembly instructions. Should you already have the Kitchen play set but you only lost a few parts, you can order those from their website.
For a considerably small amount, you can get your children the dream kitchen they would want to learn cooking in. Inspire your kids to learn how to cook and be responsible in the kitchen. Who knows? By starting with a KidKraft Kitchen set, you just might be tapping into the potential of the next world-class chef!

How to show that there are 2 points of $S^n$ where a smooth map $g: S^n \to\mathbb R$ has tangent map equal to zero?
Mathematics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields. It's 100% free, no registration required.

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
$S^n$ is compact, so on a purely topological level, $g$ (as a continuous function on it) must have a maximum and a minimum. Now if $g$ is also smooth, these must be critical values, by the same argument as in elementary calculus. Since the range of $g$ is 1-dimensional, anywhere $dg_x$ does not have full rank it must be zero.

The first evidence that Quorn causes severe vomiting and stomach ache came in 1977
from a clinical study conducted by the developer of Quorn. That research was
never published. In subsequent years, more research has demonstrated that Quorn
causes gastrointestinal and other adverse reactions, including hives and
breathing difficulties. These are the key studies:
RHM (unpublished 1977-78 study)
This controlled clinical study was conducted by the company that developed Quorn. Ten percent of the 200 subjects who ate Quorn experienced nausea, vomiting, or stomach ache, compared to five percent of 100
subjects in a control group. This is the first known study that demonstrated
that Quorn could cause adverse effects. It appears that when Marlow Foods
notified the Food and Drug Administration that Quorn should be considered
"Generally Recognized As Safe," it did not acknowledge the existence or results
of this study. It is not known whether the study was submitted to the British
government when Quorn was first used. The study was obtained from a food
additive petition filed with the FDA.
Udall et al. (Am J Clin Nutr. 1984;40:285-292)
This study did not find any
problem in 100 college students who ate Quorn for 30 days. However, co-author
Nevin Scrimshaw in 2003 told the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that "I have
no doubt from the evidence currently available that the fungal product being
marketed as Quorn, and that is causing an alarmingly high frequency of allergic
reactions, some of them quite serious, is not the same product we tested. He
added: "I am appalled that this material is allowed to stay on the market."
Tee et al. (Clin Exper Allergy. 1993:23:257-260)
This study was the first to
appear in the medical literature and indicated possible safety problems with
Quorn. The study involved 10 Britons who believed that Quorn caused vomiting or
stomach ache. The study used classic allergy tests (like the skin-prick test) to
assess the patients. There were weak indications that Quorn was allergenic, but
the test methods used are considered insensitive and not highly accurate. The
subjects were not fed Quorn foods, which might have elicited adverse reactions.
Katona SJ, Kaminski ER. (J Clin Pathol. 2002 Nov;55(11):876-877)
This letter
from British researchers reported sensitivity to Quorn in a mold-allergic
Hoff et al. (J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2003 May;111(5):1106-1110)
These European
researchers proved that Quorn caused an asthmatic reaction in a patient. They
identified the particular protein that caused the allergic reaction. This paper
is important.
Jacobson, M.F. (Allergy. 2003 May;58(5):455-456)
This letter, submitted by the
executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, described
the adverse reactions reported by the first 284 people who contacted CSPI. It
was the first item in the medical literature that indicated that Quorn caused
widespread reactions, including vomiting, stomach ache, hives, and breathing
Van Durme P, Ceuppens JL, Cadot P. (J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2003 Aug;112(2):
Belgian researchers identified a young woman who suffered a severe
anaphylactic-type allergic reaction after her first ingestion of Quorn. Skin
prick tests were highly positive with Quorn extracts. The researchers deduced
that Quorn can be cross-reactive with inhaled mold spores.
Jacobson, M.F. (Am J Med 2003 Sep;115:334)
This letter, submitted by the executive director of the Center
for Science in the Public Interest, described the adverse
reactions received by CSPI. The letter cites a survey showing
that mycoprotein is more likely to cause adverse reactions than
shellfish, milk, peanuts, and other common food allergens.
Sandhu M. (AllergyCases.org)
This case report describes a 14-year-old boy who had a reaction within two minutes of eating Quorn imitation chicken. The symptoms included throat irritation followed by itchiness, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the lip, tongue, eye, and laryngeal edema. A positive skin test demonstrated a sensitivity to small amounts of Quorn (and other molds).

"Congratulations," 'Kayla' told the Italian commander in French, lifting a tiny storage device into view. "You've just bought yourself an arrest."
The door slid open and another man stepped in. "Congratulations, American," he said in English. "You've just bought yourself and your friend some bullets."
The Italian's eyes widened as the newcomer fired and a bullet lodged itself in his stomach.
"I hear stomach wounds are rather painful," he remarked, turning to the desk. For a moment, he seemed surprised as he'd expected to see the American woman standing behind it. Then, he grinned. "My bullets can penetrate the wood of that desk,
Without warning, the commander's computer came flying over the desk. Sufficiently distracted, the intruder fired a shot at it, giving Phi the chance to shoot him from the side of the desk.
"I'm known for my intelligence," she informed the dying man. "And now you know it too."
"You..." the Italian commander gasped. "I... I'm not going to make this."
Phi nodded. "I can see that. And it's to be a very painful death for you, it seems. For what it's worth, I am sorry."
"Just make sure these people are taken down too," he begged.
"Who are they?" Mya asked. "What is it you all are doing here?"
"Experiments with genetics," the Italian answered. "If you got all my files, you got everything."
"That's why we targeted you," Mya told him. "Don't worry. Today's their last day."
"Then get out of here," he ordered. "Go, go!"
Mya slipped out of the room to find herself surrounded by angry looking guards with guns.
"Oh, happy moment," she muttered. Then, she swore... in five different languages.

April 18, 1998
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Stanford women's gymnast Larissa Fontaine culminated her storybook season tonight at the 1998 NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships, hosted by UCLA, by capturing a share of the NCAA vault title with an average score of 9.8625, thus becoming the first-ever Stanford women's gymnast to be crowned NCAA champion. Additionally, she became the first gymnast in NCAA history to win the vault title coming into the tournament as an individual event qualifier.
"Larissa came in really focused on trying to win the event and we knew she could do it if she just did what she is capable of," said first year Cardinal head coach Mark Cook, who helped lead UCLA to the team title last season. "Her first vault was just awesome and it became a matter of just hitting the second vault, and she did. For her to come here as an individual event qualifier (winning the NCAA West Regional vault title) and to win the whole thing is just amazing. We are very proud of her accomplishment here tonight."
Fontaine, who made a remarkable comeback this season from a broken thumb sustained in fall practice, tied Florida senior Susan Hines, the defending NCAA champion, for the title. A sophomore from Deerfield, Ill. (Stevenson HS), Fontaine scored a 9.950 and 9.800, respectively, on her two vaults. Tonight marked the fifth straight meet in which she topped 9.850 on the vault. Two weeks ago, she captured the NCAA West Region vault title with a career-high 9.950.
Fontaine's performance concluded one of the finest seasons ever by a Stanford squad, in which the Cardinal won its first-ever Pac-10 Championship and finsished third at the West Regionals after leading with one event remaining.

TV Guide Magazine's Michael Logan tweeted yesterday , "Billy Miller. General Hospital. Done deal? This is what I'm hearing." Can this be true? Michael Logan is almost always right and if he says it is true I would believe it.
That being said we have to wonder who the Emmy award winning actor will play. So many rumors have abounded saying he would be playing Jason Morgan returned from the dead. Billy Miller can play anyone, so whatever part they have for him expect the very best.
Billy Miller has won Best Actor Emmy Awards twice and probably will win his third this year. He left The Young and the Restless this year after a contract dispute. It seems Jill Farren Phelps needed the money that should have been Miller's to pay for Steve Burton's extras in his contract.
Y&R's loss will definitely be GH's gain. Michelle Stafford is settling in very nicely as Nina Clay. Stafford is another great loss for Y&R that GH jumped at.
Many GH fans feel that between One Life to Live and now Young and the Restless that Port Charles has lost it's identity. Perhaps Billy will play a Quartermaine other than Jason. Wouldn't that be amazing?
We will wait and see and watch GH weekdays at 2 p.m. on ABC.
Y&R can be seen weekdays on CBS at 2:30 p.m.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Coming off a season opening victory against Hawai'i, the Arizona men's swimming and diving team looks to continue its success as it heads to Las Vegas to compete against UNLV and Denver. The Saturday meet will start at 2 p.m. in the Buchanan Natatorium.
Kevin Cordes has led the way for the men's team this year and currently has two top-ten times in the nation. His 55.37 in the 100 breast ranks sixth in the country and first in the Pac-12. He also placed in the 200 breast, posting the 10th fastest time in the country and fifth in the Pac-12 with 2:02.63.
Another swimmer on the top-ten times list is junior Mitchell Friedemann. He swam a 48.92 in the 100 back, giving him the fifth fastest time in the country, and second in the Pac-12.
This meet will be a rematch for Arizona and UNLV, as Arizona defeated the Rebels last year 208.5-84.5 in their dual at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center.
About UNLV:
This Saturday will be the first meet of the year for UNLV. They return their top swimmers in 13 out of 14 individual events from last year, including two time Honorable Mention All-American Cody Roberts.
About Denver:
Denver finished second in its season opener two weeks ago, falling to Wyoming but besting Air Force. Kyle Milberg set an El Pomar Natatorium record in the 100 backstroke, swimming to a time of 49.40. His time currently ranks tenth fastest in the country.

The new book on Bursa
Published by the Research Center for Islamic History, Art and Culture (IRCICA) throws light on the city's history.
Bursa is a city that played a role in the history of Ottoman and Islamic civilization and was important especially in the process of urbanization in Turkey. The album published by IRCICA includes century-old images of Bursa and its monuments today, 300 years after they were described by Evliya Çelebi in his Book of Travels.
Bursa has a special significance for Evliya Çelebi. The city and its environs were one of a handful of places the traveler visited with the express purpose of observing the life there.
Following the first volume, which is devoted to Istanbul, Bursa appears in the second book of the ten-volume travel book penned by Evliya Çelebi, who toured the Ottoman realm and other lands for more than forty years.
The study, a comprehensive album about Bursa, treasure trove of Ottoman culture, presents the reader with a city that produced monuments and was an inspiration to everyone from architects and scholars to artists and travelers. The album was compiled from a photograph album created at the behest of Sultan Abdulhamid II.

H.R. 4, The Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act of 2011, sponsored and introduced by Rep. Daniel E. Lungren (R-CA), would repeal the expansion of information reporting requirement for payment of $600 or more to corporations.
The requirement, located in the The Patient Protection and Affordable Healthcare Act, would effectively repeal Section 9006, and allow the Internal Revenue code of 1986 to be applied as if Section 9006 were never applied.
The bill would be a welcome relief to small business owners who would not have to worry about additional forms and files for their businesses.
H.R. 4 was introduced with 263 co-sponsers, and was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
H. R. 269, the Leadership PAC Limitation Act, introduced by Rep. Micheal E. Capuano (D-MA), would amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (2 U.S.C 439) to prohibit the conversion of leadership PAC funds, or Political Action Committees, to personal use.
The bill was referred to the Committee on House Administration, and is pending further action.

I painted a wing back chair with these paints. They are awesome and the coverage was what I expected. Turned out gorgeous.
Expensive But Worth It!
By Priya
from Langley, WA
Get the 2 oz jars, and all of them! You will use them again and again in mixed media, fabric painting, and adding just that special shimmer to your project. I am still finding new ways to create with Lumiere paints.

Golden Fluid Acrylics
By Moonlithe
from Lexington, KY
I use the fluid acrylics in staining paper for collages, also on canvas and paper mixed with other gel mediums such as pumice gel. The fluid aspect of the paint mixes well with water and other mediums. I found nothing that isn't great about this product. It is the best for me.
Jacquard Lumiere Acrylic paint
By Open
from Asheville NC
Paint covers very well, compared to cheaper brands that take multiple coats to cover. Colors are very bright and truly metallic. Great product!
Nice paints
By Michelle
from Aurora, CO
Not as opaque as I hoped for, but after a few coats it loks great.
By XTina
from NY
These are great for those times where you don't feel like messing with pearlex pigments and just want a quick metallic base on something. They level out pretty nicely when brushing on by hand and are easy to work with for the most part as well. Some of the colors are a little more transparent than I'd like but it usually only takes about 2-3 coats to get them to where I want them. I don't like the super sparkle. It doesn't do much except leave big chunks of semi-pearlescent specks everywhere. And I do wish the hi-light blue had a little more "oomph" like the hi-light violet does. There are only a few reasons it would be useful to me as it is and I always end up with just choosing the violet instead because it just performs better. But anyway, overall these are definitely fun to work with. I have put them through an airbrush just fine as well. You just have to make sure you thin them well enough (I use airbrush medium to do so). The super sparkle though, forget it..that one's not going through.

Heading out on a nice calm ride are Simon and Pat, two good mates from Norfolk. After losing two friends to suicide, Pat and Simon were compelled and inspired to do something positive about it. And while we know that suicide is the leading cause of death for 15-34 year old men nationally, figures fade away into meaninglessness when it's a mate you know who's lost his life. That's how Simon came across CALM. Now the two gents are planning an epic fundraising motorbike ride to Modena in Italy, and they've got plenty more big things planned. Simon and Pat took a moment to talk to CALM about A Nice CALM Ride
CALM: "Can you tell us about why you're going on a nice calm ride, and what it's about?"
S&P: "Pat and I have decided to go on a Nice CALM Ride as Pat wishes to commemorate the passing of two of his closest friends, by riding to places that they long dreamed of riding to themselves. Pat came up with the concept whilst we were watching the British Motor Cross Championship in Norfolk; he decided that it was about time that the subject of male suicide and depression really needed some national focus. We chatted about the guys who had been lost and that if we didn't do something soon we'd be going to more funerals than weddings."
CALM: "How did you come across CALM, and why have you chosen us to back us for your monster motorbike Modena run?"
S&P: "After speaking with Pat about his need for more focus on male suicide, I went home and did a quick Google search for male suicide charities, CALM was at the top of the list, and after researching their website thoroughly, we were both satisfied that CALM had the right mentality and approach for us."
CALM: "What issues do you think are affecting blokes at the moment that we need to talk about more?"
S&p: "One problem that seems prevalent is a lack of positive male role models that are willing to speak openly about depression on a national stage. Another problem affecting men in the UK is a lack of community which leads to a feeling of isolation even if they are surrounded by friends and family.
Media pressure for men to be physically perfect and be strong on the outside but to conceal their emotions because thats just what men do! And that women love a man that is strong and silent when really they'd love a chat with their man instead of their "girlfriends"."
Simon and Pat have some pretty inspiring and exciting ideas for sponsorship and events. Talking to them, you quickly realise they've got the nous, motivation and ideas to pull off something big, and raise awareness that for men in a dark place, feeling isolated or exhausted, there is another way, and it begins with talking, and knowing that what you say is in confidence, as with CALM's helpline that the lads are raising funds for. The 'Nice CALM Ride' campaign needs your support, so please, if you can share their website with your mates on Facebook, or follow or RT @CALMRide on Twitter, that'd be a huge help.
Simon and Pat explain: "What Pat and I really need CALM readers and supporters to do above all else is, to spread the word about what we are attempting to do using social media and word of mouth; also by donating to our Just Giving page www.justgiving.com/calmride, or text CALM79 to 70070.
Please follow us on Twitter: @CALMRide and make sure to use the #CALMRide."
Finally, a CALM thought to brew on – what advice would you give your 15 year old self?
Simon: "Don't let anyone tell you that you are limited or that you can't do things. Believe in your ability and to hell with anyone else."
Pat: "Always follow your instincts, don't stop doing the things you love or want to achieve just because someone else says they are "lame" or "impossible". Make your own way and don't be a sheep!"
And with those words, there's nothing left to say except show your support for these two gentlemen-bikers raising money for CALM today.

well the telly's finally died and I'm looking at a 32" Toshiba LCD which is HD ready, built in digi tuner etc. That bit's easy. Now I've got £1000 left.
Do I...
flog my current hi fi amp/cd player and speakers (for about 1250) and spend the resulting £2250 on a system that does film and MORE importantly plays my CD's very well?
or... Keep the hi fi intact and just do home cinema seperately for £1000?
or... Keep CD player and Castle Howards , flog Copeland amp (£300/400?) and replace with AV amp and add suround/center speakers as a compromise for about £1400?
Priority is good/very good hi fi reproduction of CD, with decent quality (not cinema type earth shattering) tv/dvd experience.

Canada Investment Rules Dissuade China – Report
By Paul Vieira
Canada's opaque rules governing foreign takeovers and investment are dissuading China from deploying more cash in the country's resource sector, warns a report released Thursday from a non-partisan think tank.
China invested $14.1 billion Canadian dollars (US$13.8 billion) in Canada in 2010, half of that in the resource sector. But the amount from state-owned Chinese giants like Sinopec Group, China National Petroleum Corp. and CNOOC could escalate if there was less political risk associated with Canada's foreign-investment approval process, the Ottawa-based Conference Board of Canada said in its analysis.
Under the Investment Canada Act, all foreign investments or takeovers valued at over C$330 million require government review, and approval is only granted if officials conclude the transaction amounts to a so-called "net benefit" to the country. However, the law doesn't spell out what hurdles foreigners need to clear.
"Prospective foreign investors are left to improvise deals that might satisfy the government of the day. This hardly seems like a rational way for a modern country to encourage foreign investment," the board said. "This issue is all the more relevant to China because, by definition, virtually all major Chinese investments are politically sensitive. Therefore, Chinese investors are at particular risk under a legislative framework that relies heavily on political judgments versus clear rules."
"We conclude that the current regime is most definitely a barrier to Chinese investment," the board said.
The advice to clear up foreign-investment rules in an effort to attract more Chinese investment comes as Canada's Conservative government, led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, makes a big push to boost energy exports to China and the rest of Asia, following White House-dictated delays on building the Keystone XL pipeline project.
To date, Chinese companies have opted to take minority stakes in Canadian energy projects to avoid political backlash, though in rare cases have taken large, majority interests when a company or project runs into dire financial trouble — such as with CNOOC's purchase of OPTI Canada. The Conference Board points out that Chinese capital investment in Canada is only about a third of that in Australia, which shares similar economic characteristics to Canada.
The report recommends, among other things, that the Canadian government set out clear net-benefit tests for foreigners to meet, and that they be applied in a way that forces Canadian officials to detail why a particular offshore investment is contrary to the public interest.
Representatives for Canadian Industry Minister Christian Paradis, whose responsibility includes enforcement of foreign-investment rules, weren't immediately available for comment.

A recent video of a newborn baby clinging to his mom after a cesarean birth has gone viral. According to a Feb. 27 report by the Daily Mail the details of the birth, including the mother's name, are unknown at this time. This touching video has made the rounds on social media sites and has gathered over 60,000 views on YouTube since it was posted on Feb. 27, 2014.
The video of a nurse introducing the baby to his mom for the first time depicts a touching moment between mother and child as the baby clings to his mom's face. When the nurse attempts to remove the baby to clean him up, he bursts into howls of protest. Returning the baby to his mom is met with a cessation of crying.
While some viewers claim that the baby clinging to mom's face is nothing more than a natural instinct, others disagree.
"This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and tender videos I have ever seen!! There is nothing more beautiful than a mother and her child. The Miracle of Life and Love IS SIMPLY AMAZING!" reports one viewer.
According to the University of Washington, recent studies have confirmed that babies begin learning language before they are born by listening to their mother's voice from the womb. They listen to their mother's speech for the last 10 weeks in the womb and can distinguish sounds from their native language when born.
It appears this newborn recognizes his mother's voice and is holding on with all his might to remain close to her. That, of course, is a matter of opinion.
"Omg it's a newborn it gonna cry [sic]...the nurse is holding it to her face it no choice but to hold on!!!!" says viewer Shawn Johnson.
Please share your thoughts about this amazing video in the comments.

COLUMBUS — Former Attorney General Marc Dann will face criminal charges related to the scandal that led to his resignation from office.
Dann is expected to enter pleas today on two counts — one related to financial disclosure filings and one focused on providing improper compensation from his campaign accounts.
Both are first-degree misdemeanors that carry a maximum of six months in jail and $1,000 fines. Additionally, the improper compensation charge will disqualify Dann from serving in public office or holding public employment.
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien, in a released statement, confirmed that Dann would appear this morning in Franklin County Municipal Court.
He denied further comment, other than noting that the appearance was related to "an Ohio Ethics Commission investigation that has now been concluded."
Last year, Dann was fined by the Ohio Elections Commission for using campaign funds to install a security system at his home and for family travel but avoided a criminal referral in the matter.
He has vehemently denied criminal wrongdoing throughout the scandal, which was prompted by sexual harassment complaints from two women in the Attorney General's Office against Anthony Gutierrez, a manager hand-picked for his position by Dann.
For details, see Friday's Vindicator or watch Vindy.com.
Still can't understand why Dann resigned if these charges were the best that the state could muster.
Haven't you ever heard of honor amongst thieves? This is a farce for public consumption. Just like his wife's prosecution. They're not going to do anything to him.
Marc Dann's friends will see to it that any punishment will be minimal .
They will make some deal for Marc...just like they dropped further investigations regarding his ex-wife and that YSU deal. She knows more and has done much more than she admitted to...but...
Pay to play Mr. Dann ... pay ... to ... PLAY ...
Hey Dann, Thanks for putting another positive light on this valley. Fear not: You are a trooper and are entering the turnstile; you are in a long line of many stupid from the valley that will take your place and likely get off again with a ruler to the knuckles.

Samsung Ego S9402 to be available exclusively from Russia's Euroset for over $1,500
The Euroset Company in Russia will be the first and only store in the world to offer the Samsung Ego S9402, a new luxury handset that's adorned with less crystals and more useful-in-the-real-world features than most.
Billing on strength, flexibility and resistance to scratching, Samsung promotes this handset as having a blend of Liquid Metal used in its casing. The somewhat exotic design doesn't hurt the overall feel of the handset as well.
Among the Samsung Ego S9402 most noteworthy features are its 5-megapixel camera, dual-SIM card support, Bang & Olufsen made sound processor, and a 2-inch 262K color QVGA AMOLED display. Its price will be 48,990 Russian rubles or about $1,570 U.S. dollars.

Hello fellow tall riders. I am breaking down my black Jet 9 alloy this summer and putting it back together for the Fall season with some geometry and parts changes. I'd like to see what all the other size XL Niner owners are doing with their bikes.
Here I am sprinting against a teammate earlier this season in a muddy race. I'm swapping out some parts to get a more aggressive and efficient position on the bike, hopefully.

Bishop Bobby Davis had an affair and died in church after admitting it to his congregation. The story out of Bridgeport, Conn. has gone viral mainly because of the irony: A pastor admits that he cheated on his wife and then drops dead. On March 16, a Twitter user questioned the circumstances here and wondered why this happened to Davis and why something like this hasn't happened to church members who come out as gay. Does God hold adultery to more of a sharp (for lack of a better word) standard than homosexuality?
"Strangely, no bishops have been struck down in the act of admitting they're gay," tweeted user @DCPlod.
Since Bobby Davis died after admitting he had an affair, some wonder if this was God's will -- His way. The question raised by @DCPlod is interesting because it suggests that God values loyalty and faithfulness over sexual orientation. In other words, being gay doesn't break any of the commandments -- if you look at this philosophically.
If God really was taking out his disapproval on Davis (if you believe in that sort of thing), you might go so far as to say that God values each and every person equally no matter who they choose to love -- but when someone commits adultery (in this instance), it's a sin that cannot be forgiven.
Bobby Davis' affair and the fact he died after admitting it might speak volumes to some. To others, it's just a mere coincidence. What do you think?

Oracle announcement to purchase Sun makes IOUG Collaborate 09 Conference a very hot ticket
By George Trujillo on Apr 20, 2009
The Oracle announcement to purchase Sun Microsystems makes the IOUG Collaborate 09 Conference (May 3-7 2009, Orlando FL) a very hot ticket. The IOUG conference will bring together the top Oracle technology leaders in the user community. You can expect a lot of great discussions and interactions discussing the potential of the Oracle acquisition with Sun within the Oracle user community.
Oracle and Sun employees cannot discuss the potential of this acquisition, however the top industry leaders in the Oracle user community and Oracle 3rd party vendors and partners will definitely be discussing this interesting news.
The IOUG is the largest Oracle user technology user group in the world. Whenever you bring the top Oracle technology leaders in the user community you can expect a lot of discussion and interaction between these leaders. I don't think I've ever gotten more voice mails and emails in one day. So the buzz is definitely at the highest level.
This will definitely make the Collaborate 09 conference in Orlando a very dynamic week among the Oracle user community. The Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG) can be a very strong resource to the Sun Microsystems community. The IOUG focuses on the technology side of Oracle.
So when you look at some of these areas of the IOUG you can see why the IOUG Collaborate 09 conference just got a lot more exciting:
- Operating systems, security, storage and all technology components surrounding the Oracle Database Server
- Oracle Database Server - RAC, Data Guard, Streams, High Availability, Performance Tuning and Backup/Recovery
- Oracle Fusion Middleware - Java, BPEL, SOA, Web Services, XML, application servers.
- Identity Management

Wind Up
Monday, December 31, 2012
...and by that I mean winding UP for the new year! :) Going to pick up some kind of champagne for tonight...last year I went through a champagne phase, and tried a variety of them; some are quite lovely, and others, surprisingly, tasted like fermented gym socks. Bleah. Lol. So I know what NOT to acquire! Lol. Probably a nice Moet & Chandon...the less expensive one. :) Though after making it through this year...maybe I should buy 2. Ha!
Anyway...my PLAN!! YEEEEEESSSS!! I have one! Sort of. Heh. I still have to iron out details--but I also make note that the more details I add, the more frustrated I get when I don't follow all of them perfectly...so I may not go into a lot of details. Staving off that perfectionist part of me. It's easy to get so focused on little things that you quickly lose sight of the big picture--like how I get so focused on reading about a new way of eating or such, and kind of use that to delay going into action 'because I'm not ready yet'. Whatever. Action NOW. To that end:
-I finally hired a trainer. Yep. Session on Friday. Not sure how he will work out, but at the very least I can get some form corrections and maybe a rough idea of what I should be focusing on.
-Better organizing of my closet and kitchen so my workout clothes and lunch portables are easy access. I tend to run around in a tizzy at the last minute--so having everything right THERE is probably best for me. Yes, I do try to plan out stuff the night before, but am not often successful in that. So better to work with what I know I am like, than try to deny I'm like that, and then get frustrated when I'm not planning far enough ahead. :)
-Picking up lots of easy to grab foods that are less disgustingly full of sugar and crap. I usually stick to the same 3 or 4 items all the time, so just need to stock up on those. I find too many things and I want to eat them ALLL, so I do--usually ALLLL day long. So, limit of variety, but enough not to run out and end up stopping at Timmy Ho's for BLT bagels. Mmmm, bagels. See? lol.
I think that's about it for now. Already have my gym time scheduled in--that's actually the easiest part for me, and I don't know why I keep blowing it off. The gym is literally 30 seconds away from my work, I have more than enough time to get my workout in AND have some downtime before heading out for my 2nd job...so I don't know why I do that. Oh wait, yes I do. The idea of just going home and nesting with my kitties becomes very appealing--especially when I'm already tired, or it's cold out, or I'm cranky/stressed out about something else. I need to connect the feeling I get after my workouts with the comfort and 'feel good' vibe I'm looking for--one of those things I need to work on. :)
Wind up of my year? Umm...unpleasant overall. Dad unexpectedly died, cut off contact with only brother, cat died, hubby lost job, I quit my job, other very beloved cat died, hubby's uncle died. Culminating with a friend's horrific loss of her son. Just a bad year. The only bright spot was finally selling our tiny house and moving into our perfect new one--although that in itself has added a different layer of stress to things. Really, REALLY hoping this year doesn't go the same way.
It will be a learning experience for me to try and focus on my health and exercise plan in the face of dealing with everything life decides to throw my way this coming year.

Sky's Political Editor answers the 2012 questions he posed last year and considers what could happen in 2013.
16:10, UK, Thursday 27 December 2012
Adam Boulton
Sky News Presenter
Each year around this time I pose some questions, hinting at what I think may be the big issues in the political world in the year to come.
Now we know the answers to the questions I posed for 2012 and I think they do give quite a good summary of what happened and what didn't over the past 12 months.
How many Team GB golds?
A best-ever haul in both the Olympics (29 gold, 17 silver, 19 bronze) and Paralympics (34 gold, 43 silver, 43 bronze). Britain was third in both tables behind the US and China.
Will the 2012 Olympics increase tourism to Britain?
This is still a moot point. Overall tourism to the UK and London was down in 2012 but politicians on all sides are predicting a long-term boost.
Will there be a related terror attack?
No, thank goodness. The biggest negative story was the G4S training fiasco which resulted in a shortage of security guards. The armed forces filled the breach.
How many member countries of the eurozone next Christmas?
At 17, this is the same as last year. UK politicians' predictions of a break-up have proved inaccurate, so far.
An in or out referendum for the UK?
It is getting closer. Prime Minister David Cameron is now promising a referendum on renegotiated membership terms.
More Boris or more Ken?
Boris Johnson was re-elected for a second consecutive term as Mayor of London. His personal vote was significantly bigger than the Conservative share of the vote in the GLA elections.
Mitt Romney or AN Other Republican nominee?
Mitt Romney secured the nomination in the end and chose Paul Ryan, a US congressman from Wisconsin as his running mate.
Four more years for Barack Obama?
Mr Obama was re-elected for a second term on November 6. His vote share was down and he carried two fewer states (North Carolina and Indiana switched to the Republicans).
A triple-dip recession?
No, but we are teetering on the brink. The UK economy came out of the second dip in the third quarter of 2012 but zero or slightly negative growth is predicted by many for the final quarter.
Which banks will fail?
No major banks. The financial sector stories this year have been the Libor fixing scandal, which led to the departure of Barclay's chief Bob Diamond, and the swingeing fines imposed on British banks by US regulators.
Coalition collapse?
No but Nick Clegg has increasingly tried to differentiate his party from the Conservatives. Following the Tory revolt against his plans for Lords reform, the Lib Dems blocked Mr Cameron's plans for new MP constituency boundaries.
Reshuffle? Huhne, Cable, Osborne in the same jobs?
Chris Huhne resigned from the Cabinet to fight allegations that he asked his wife to take his speeding penalty points. Their trial has been postponed until early next year. Vince Cable and George Osborne kept their posts in Mr Cameron's biggest reshuffle yet. A total of 32 others left the Government.
An open challenge to Ed Miliband?
Far from it. Ed Miliband is riding high and according to the bookies he is currently the leader of the big three most likely still to be in the job at the next election.
Which UK party will lead the December opinion polls?
