Junior Brennan Middleton Moved His Reached Base Streak to 27 Games in the Series Opener at Houston
May 12, 2012
Box Score (PDF) | Season Statistics
HOUSTON, Texas - When the Tulane baseball team plays extra innings, you can bet on 12 innings of baseball and that held true in the continuation of Friday's (May 11) game at Cougar Field. Tulane led 4-3 in the seventh inning when the game was suspended due to lightning and when it resumed Houston scored a run in the bottom of the seventh and plated the game winning run in the 12th inning to claim the series opener, 5-4.
It was a good start to the game, but as we all know it is how you finish and the Green Wave were held scoreless the final six innings to allow the Cougars to really and claim the series opener. Tulane (33-17, 10-9 C-USA) stranded 11 runners on base, while Houston (17-28-1, 5-13-1 C-USA) left 16 runners on base in a game that spanned two days due to a lightning delay on Friday night. The Green Wave scored the first three runs of the game, but Houston tallied the final three runs of the contest.
The offense got started early for the Green Wave as Brandon Boudreaux singled and stole second base before Garrett Cannizaro walked. After a ground out by Nick Schneeberger erased Cannizaro at second - followed by a Schneeberger stolen base - Jeremy Schaffer doubled down the left field line to score both runners and give the Green Wave an early lead.
In the second inning, Brennan Middleton moved his reached base streak 27 games with a leadoff single and promptly stole second base for his 11th swipe of the season. Boudreaux came up with one out and singled into right field to score Middleton and push the Tulane lead to 3-0.
Houston struck with a pair of runs against TU starting pitcher Andrew Reeves in the fifth inning when Landon Appling and Jake Runte each plated two-out RBIs, but the Green Wave got a run back in the top of the sixth when Crohan doubled and eventually scored on a wild pitch to make it a 4-2 contest.
The Cougars answered back quickly in the sixth inning when John Cannon hit his first home run of the season down the left field line to end the outing for Reeves. The junior tossed five innings and allowed three runs on eight hits before being relieved by Kyle McKenzie. He walked one and struck out two in his seventh start of the season.
When the game resumed on Saturday, D.J. Ponder took the mound for Tulane and the Cougars got their offense going when Cody Morehouse doubled to start frame. After a sacrifice bunt, Runte plated his second RBI of the afternoon with a single. Ponder was able to get out of the seventh with the score tied at 4-4.
Houston threatened in the bottom of the ninth, loading the bases versus Ponder, but Cannon lined out to center field and Tulane entered extra innings for the third time this season.
Ponder worked out of a bases loaded jam in the tenth inning and walked a batter with one out in the eleventh inning. Jacob Lueneburg stole second base and Ponder issued a walk to Jonathan Davis. Alex Facundus entered the game and Leuneburg stole third base to put runners on the corners with one out. Facundus got an out at home plate on a squeeze bunt attempt and struck out the final batter of the inning to send it to the 12th inning.
Schneeberger led off the top of the twelfth inning with a base hit and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt from Schaffer, but Ray struck out Crohan and Garner grounded out to strand Schneeberger in scoring position. Tulane hadn't put a runner in scoring position since the seventh inning.
The Cougars finale broke through with the game winning run in the 12th inning when a pair of infield hits put runners on first and second with one out. Landon Appling played the role of the hero and came through with a single to left field, scoring Michael Pyeatt from second base.
Facundus took the loss on the mound with one run allowed in an inning of work. The sophomore allowed three hits and struck out two batters, falling to 3-2 on the season. Ponder tossed four and one-thirds inning of relief work and allowed one run on five hits, walking six - two intentionally - and struck out one.
At the plate, Boudreaux, Cannizaro, Crohan, Garner and Schneeberger all chipped in two hits in the series opener, while Schaffer plated a pair of RBIs. Middleton moved his reached base streak to 27 games, while Boudreaux has reached base safely in 24 straight games.
The second game of the unconventional double-header will begin at approximately XXX, while the third game of the series is slated for Sunday, May 13 at 1:00.
- Houston leads the all-time series, 32-25.
- Tulane posted its 28th game with ten-plus hits in 2012.
- Tulane is now 1-2 in extra-inning games, with all three of those games lasting 12 innings.
- Brandon Boudreaux pushed his hitting streak to a season-long nine games with a first inning single.
- Boudreaux's single in the first moved his reached base streak to 24 games.
- Brennan Middleton moved his reached base streak to 27 games with a second inning single.
- Middleton and Blake Crohan each extended hitting streaks to five games on Friday.
- Andrew Garner posted his eighth multi-hit game of the season on Friday night.
- D.J. Ponder had his 21 1/3 inning scoreless streak snapped with a run allowed in the seventh inning.

I found lots of Web sites and books explaining how memory management worked on the 8086 and later x86 CPUs in Real Mode. I understand, I think, how two 16 bit values, segment address and offset are combined to get a linear 20 bit physical address (shift segment four bits to the left, add offset; segments are 64K and start every 16 bytes).
But I couldn't find any good Web sites or books that explained how memory management works in Protected Mode, specifically the differences between 80286 and 80386.
Can anyone point me to a good Web site or book (or explain it right here)?
(For extra credit, i.e. an upvote, how does it work in Long Mode?)

Following on from the successful launch of the Nokia Cyan update, and the Windows Phone 8.1 update on the Nokia Lumia 1520 late last week, a report posted to WPCentral on July 29 has confirmed that users of the Lumia 1320 in both India and the United Kingdom are now receiving the highly anticipated update.
The launch of the updates to the Lumia 1520 in the U.S has been a rousing success, and end users have been able to see exactly how big of an update Windows Phone 8.1 really is to the platform. The Cyan and WP 8.1 update pack a ton of new features including Cortana (Microsoft's voice controlled assistant), the Action Center (notification center) and the new WordFlow keyboard.
While Cortana is not live in countries other than the U.S at present, the Halo legend is expected to be added to other regions around the globe at a later date. Microsoft has confirmed though that Cortana will ship with a different voice to other countries. In the U.S Cortana is voiced by Jen Taylor, the voice actress who played the role of Cortana in the iconic Halo series of games on the Xbox, but in an effort to make users feel comfortable, different voice actors will be used in various regions to make Cortana easier to understand.
Owners of the Nokia Lumia 1320 simply have to go into their settings menu, scroll down until they see Update Phone, and then hit the Check for Update button. Rest assured that while the download might not be available for your device immediately, it will be ready at some point today. For users in the U.S the update came in two parts, and took roughly 45 minutes to download and install. If you have been using the developer preview of Windows Phone 8.1, you will have to take the extra step of reverting back to Windows 8 before the download will begin.
Microsoft are hoping that this update will enable the platform to gain ground on Apple's iPhone, and Google Android based devices. By adding all of the features that were requested the most by smartphone enthusiasts and Windows Phones fans, the platform is now up to par with Android and iOS in terms of features.
The Windows Phone 8.1 update is one of the most highly anticipated releases this year in the smartphone world, in fact the update is so big for the platform that many are already considering it a game changer

Jan Lisiecki, the 17-year-old pianist from Calgary, is CBC Music's classical artist of the month for April. His debut album on the Deutsche Grammophon label was released today. It features Lisiecki performing Mozart's piano concertos Nos. 20 and 21, K. 466 and 467, repertoire that, in his words, "shows who you are, both as a musician and as a person."
Lisiecki signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon in October. Backing him up on his debut album is the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Christian Zacharias.
While they had never worked together before, Lisiecki says he had an instant rapport with maestro Zacharias: "At the recording sessions everything went smoothly and the music flowed. That is always what musicians strive for, in the end. Music-making should not be a burden, rather it should be fun! Of course, a recording session has some stress; usually there are constraints on the amount of recording time available. However, in the case of this CD, we did not need to use the extra recording session."
What stands out on this recording? Lisiecki is proud of the balance between piano and orchestra: "I worked towards creating a fluent sound with the orchestra; one that works together between soloist and ensemble. I am also very happy with the Andante from the K. 467 concerto. It is often taken at a slow pace, possibly because of its association with the movie Elvira Madigan. When it is too slow, the line is lost; I recommend listening to the woodwinds to hear this effect."
Here's a sample of that movement:
In next week's Artist of the Month update, Lisiecki reflects on the future of classical music, and plays more Bach for CBC Music.

What a talented young musician, wow, as a 50+ guy who got to grade 8 in the conservatory, I respect someone immensely when they have this sort of talent so early in their career! Buy this album and support this young Canadian musician please! I already own several versions of these concerti but again as Jan says in his interview, the interpretation is key to bringing it to life. PS no, I don't know Jan or work for DG, I'm just a music enthusiast who composes music as a hobby...

The New England Confectionery Company (NECCO), the maker of the well-loved Sweethearts candy with affectionate sayings, is getting personal leading up to Valentine's Day by unveiling new products and platforms to make the holiday even more special for friends and loved ones. Their new launches this month include: #Tweethearts, a customized social media campaign which uses Twitter to create personalized Sweethearts candies; a first-ever "Color Your Own" Sweethearts packaging and design contest for kids; and limited-edition engraveable solid gold Sweethearts with custom messages.
For those lucky in love looking for a high end gift as sweet as candy, NECCO has it covered, as they introduce 24 karat gold custom Sweethearts. For the first time ever, customers can purchase a box of four one-half ounce sweethearts in solid gold, packaged in a Sweethearts box, for the price of $19,995. The luxurious solid gold Sweethearts are available for purchase exclusively to the first 14 purchasers at NECCO's online store, www.mynecco.com. For those with less extravagant tastes, lower-priced customizable candy items are available on the site.
"Each year passionate fans reach out to inform us they love Sweethearts and are constantly seeking more extraordinary ways to express their love," explains Alyssa Hills, NECCO's director of marketing. "In response to this year's Valentine's Day excitement, we are offering even more bold ways of customization – like our solid gold heart stunners."
Wait, there's more!!
With social media providing an ever-expanding way to express one's sentiment, NECCO just launched #Tweethearts, a customized social campaign, created by advertising and marketing agency Hill Holliday. The #Tweetheart platform allows users to create customized Sweetheart candy hearts for the big day using Twitter. The dedicated website, www.neccotweethearts.com, features a friendly interface where users are invited to send a personalized tweet to @tweethearts. After sending the tweet, a user receives a response tweet with an image of a Sweetheart with his or her message. Users can then order the personalized candies for delivery, share the image virally, or both. Those choosing delivery can purchase their customized candy in a one pound bag for $29.99, delivered within five business days.
For the youngest generations of Sweethearts fans who want to get creative this Valentine's Day, NECCO released a new packaging and a "Color Your Own" contest for children ages 5-12. The black and white, crayon and marker-friendly Sweethearts "Color Your Own" packaging was developed to invoke kids' imaginations. The boxes provide a canvas for kids to create a personalized gift – and the designs can be entered in the "Color Your Own" contest at www.necco.com, that runs through March 1, 2014. Grand prize winners in each category receive a $1,000 savings bond certificate and the opportunity to have their own personal saying appear as a Sweetheart candy for the 2015 Valentine's Day season. The runners-up will win a giant NECCO goodie bag worth $200 each.
Sweethearts Conversation Hearts were created in 1866. The hearts first became a wedding day favorite, bearing messages meant for the bride and groom, however, soon the entire family began to enjoy today's confectionery treat. Sweethearts are a leading Valentine's Day candy and still feature some of the original sayings including "Kiss Me" and "Be Mine." More than four million pounds of Sweethearts candies are sold in the six weeks leading up to Valentine's Day.

Back to Previous Page | Curriculum Home
SSG611U: AP HumanGeo (2013-2014)
CURRICULUM PROGRAM: Social Studies
COURSE TITLE: AP Human Geography
COURSE LENGTH: 36 weeks
Major Concepts/Content: The Advanced Placement (AP) Human Geography course will introduce students to the systematic study of the patterns and processes that shape human understanding and the use and alteration of Earth's surface. Students employ spatial concepts and landscape analysis to examine human social organization, economic processes, and environmental consequences. They also learn about the methods and tools used by geographers. Topics of the AP Human Geography course include: geography—its nature and perspectives; human population; cultural patterns and processes; political organization of space; agriculture and rural land use; industrialization and economic development; and cities and urban land use.
Major Instructional Activities: Instructional activities will be provided relative to the content knowledge of AP Human Geography. The chronological and spatial thinking methods and tools of geographers as well as historical research and interpretation to demonstrate intellectual analysis, reflection, critical thinking, and research skills will be used.
Major Evaluative Techniques: Evaluation comprises ongoing assessments of the knowledge of human geography and skills that involve various sources of data and primary/secondary source documents.
Course Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, students should have developed skills that enable them to:
- Use and think about maps and spatial data focused on ways in which patterns on Earth's surface reflect and influence physical and human processes. This objective is achieved when students learn to use maps and spatial data to pose and solve problems and when they learn to think critically about what is revealed and/or hidden in different maps and spatial arrays.
- Understand and interpret the implication of association among phenomena in places to recognize the changing spatial organization and material character of Earth's surface. Students should not just recognize and interpret patterns, but they should also be able to assess the nature and significance of the relationship among phenomena that occur in the same place and understand how tastes and values, political regulations, and economic constraints work together to create particular types of cultural landscapes.
- Recognize and interpret at different scales the relationship among patterns and processes. Students should understand that the phenomena they are studying at one scale (e.g., regional, national, or global) may be influenced by developments at other scales (e.g., regional, national, or global). They should be able to observe processes operating at multiple scales when seeking explanations of geographic patterns and political/economic arrangements.
- Define regions and evaluate the regionalization process. Students should see regions as objects of political/economic analysis and exploration and move beyond simply locating and describing regions to considering how and why they come into being and what they reveal about the changing character of the world in which we live.
- Characterize and analyze changing interconnections among places. At the heart of the geographical perspective is a concern with the ways in which events and processes operating in one place can influence those operating at other places. Students should be able to view a place and pattern not in isolation but in terms of the place and pattern's spatial, political, and economic functional relationship with other places.

Oh Se7en, with your quirky use of the number in the title, your awesome opening credit sequence with the Nine Inch Nails song that strippers everywhere overplayed in the '90s, and your ways of making us want to atone for all the sins we've ever committed.
David Fincher's story about a sadistic serial killer – who uses the Bible's seven deadly sins as his guide – was chillingly and brilliantly played by Kevin Spacey. By the time 1995 rolled around, the actor was already highly lauded for his role in The Usual Suspects, and according to IMDb, producers were happy to hand over top billing to Se7en's serial killer. Spacey, however, had other plans, and requested that his name be omitted from the opening title sequence altogether to preserve an element of surprise and suspense in the film. Throughout Se7en, the killer's identity isn't revealed until he turns himself over to police near the end of the movie. The filmmakers rolled with that idea, and instead gave Brad Pitt top billing – choosing to list Spacey's name twice in the closing credits (once before they appear, and once in order of appearance). Spacey's name and image were also left out of all marketing materials, including interviews and public appearances, which apparently suited the star just fine.
A similar tactic was used for James Whale's 1931 horror classic, Universal Pictures' Frankenstein. Boris Karloff's name was left out of the opening credits and a question mark appeared next to "The Monster" instead.

Can you start trying to induce labor at 34 weeks since it usually takes a while?
im sopposed to be induced at 37 weeks but i just want to help speed the process a little because with my first child the doctars induced my labor at 39 weeks and i was still in labor for 43 hours before i started pushing and i wasnt fully effaced when i started pushing so i want this one to go smooth and fast......

No woman should be judged on if she wants to induce labor a week or two early...every woman's body is different and no pregnancy experience is the same so how dare any of you judge a woman on when she wants to give birth...you have no idea the struggles and pain she is feeling because everyone is different and you might not know every personal detail that woman is going through...you should think before you judge others and give your rude advice because you don't know how your words might effect that person...these chat rooms are for support, not immature bashing of each other....if you can't be supportive and understanding then you should not be aloud to give advice...think before you respond ladies.posted 06/10/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
No- and they wont do it anyways. When I went into labor at 34wks my son was barely 4lbs and they gave him a shot for his lungs and he was going to have to be NICU. Now my labor was able to be stopped until 39wks... but... no. I guess there is no point for me to argue the reasons WHY you shouldnt be induced at 34wks because no doctor in his right mind would do it- plan and simple.posted 06/22/2011 by Emkaed
I don't think it's a good idea to be induced that early if nothing is wrong. You should wait till your baby is full term before inducing(36 weeks). If this is your 2nd time having a baby the painful part of labor should go by quickly.posted 06/22/2011 by 2AtomsInAMolecule
i had my daughter at 32 weeks due to severe preeclampsia she was 3pounds 13 ozs i have mild preeclampsia with my pregnancy now and am getting induced at 37 weeks unless it becomes more severe so a doctor will induce you at ANY time if u have complications with your pregnancy my advice to you is just to walk more often it might not induce your labor but it will defiantly help you when it is time for delivery good luck!posted 12/17/2014 by babytab120
i didnt say i was getting induced at 34 weeks i said i was getting induced at 37 weeksposted 07/07/2011 by Candicec91
definitely not a good idea to start at 34 weeks, lungs are the last to develop and sometimes they don't even until the end, my doctor rarely induces at 38 weeks because of that issue.

Ready for the road
CD-Rom/A5 booklet: Department of Transport and Main RoadsQueensland Transport Learner's permit test support package of the Queensland road rules was developed in collaboration with Queensland Transport (now Transport and Main Roads). These interactive resources contextualise the Queensland Road rules for an Indigenous community audience, using Indigenous guides, situationally appropriate images and principles of Plain English and sound instructional design. Information and activities are sequenced so that users can test their understanding monitor their progress and as they go.
Since handover of the completed resources to Transport and Main Roads for production, new road rules have come into effect. This has delayed release while the materials are updated, but it is anticipated they will be available to the general public by the end of 2009.
Contact the Indigenous Driver Licensing Unit, Transport and Main Roads on 1800 130 886, to place orders.

This part of the site is by way of an introduction to the collections, links to our
associated sites with more photographs and additional detail will be found in the
following pages.

By Vivek Ranjan in Kkover! - On Tue, 08/06/2010 - 05:17
Ever come out of a recent movie (Casino Royale, Live Free Die Hard) hoping that you could move like that one guy. Traverse obstacles, jump-land-roll and look crazily cool while doing so. You might be surprised (or not) to know that there are a lot of people who actually do that. Day in and day out. That, my beloved ignorant friend is known as Parkour. Pronounced par-core, it is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment.
Well, what you see in Movies and ads is actually called free running. But more on that later.
David Belle (left) is largely credited with the development of Parkour. Along with others, Belle started developing the Discipline of parkour in 1997.
Basically, Parkour is a non-competitive french discipline that focuses on getting from point A to B in the quickest possible manner. Which means, you run along a route and navigate any obstacles you may encounter in the most efficient manner possible. You can only use your own body and the environment around you for that purpose.
Skills such as jumping and climbing along with more specific moves are employed to achieve the objective.
Yes, it's not easy. Yes, you have to be fit.
So, it's a new kind of Sport, eh?
Not exactly. You see, a sport is something that has rules, regulations and competition. Like soccer or Counter-Strike. And well, none of that exists in Parkour.
"We have deep philosophies governing our art, so in that regard you may liken it to the martial arts" - NOS (Indian traceur)
Despite being a physical discipline, it is more of an art form rather than a sport, because it is as much a mental discipline as it is a physical one.
Wait, Traceur?!
Yeah. It's French. That's what you call someone who practices Parkour. Tracuese is what you would call a girl who practices Parkour (yes, theres quite a lot of them in India).
And since we are on the topic of all things French you should know that Parkour is also known as l'art du déplacement (English for : the art of movement).
Be Strong and Be Useful
Seems like a line straight out of a super-hero movie, na? This is actually the underlining principle of Parkour.
You could be stupid and start performing some awesome tricks you saw on YouTube.
Or you could be sane. Train yourself for some time. Prepare your body for what's coming. Cause it's no ballet. Capice?
Remember, athletic skill must be combined with courage and altruism. And a little bit of common sense never hurt anyone.
Jumping rooftops and all! Awesome!
Hmmm.. No. Sorry to disappoint you kid. But that's not the way it works. As the number of practitioners grew, building to building jumps and drops from over 12-15 ft became a common site in popular media. But popular media has a habit of screwing things over - and thats what they did to Parkour.
Actually, ground based movements are more common in Parkour than anything involving rooftops. Also, most times it's illegal.
Trick or Treat
There are no particular tricks or moves in Parkour. But some common stuff that can be seen are :
|Bending the knees when toes make contact with ground (never land flat footed; always land on toes and ball of your foot).
|Cat Balance
|Quadrapedal movement along the crest of an obstacle
|Jumping or swinging through a gap between obstacles
|Pop Vault
|Overcoming a tall structure, usually by use of a step off the wall to transform forward momentum into upward momentum, then using the arms to climb onto and over the object.
|To move over an object with the help of one's hand(s).
|To get from a hanging position to a position where your upper body is above the obstacles
|Static or moving jump that involves juping from one object to a precise spot on another.
Where to Train?
Well, generally the best place to train for parkour are parks, grounds, beaches and gyms. So that's where you do it. Sometimes, if a traceur is training in a public place someone might ask him to, you know, go away. Best thing to do - go away and do it somewhere in peace.
NOS says, "If you do not enjoy training alone, then you are training for all the wrong reasons".
Also, not much gear is required to train for Parkour. Just some light clothes and a good pair of shoes will do.
India mein kisiko maalum bhi nahin hoga....
You'll be surprised to know that there is a growing community of people in India who are into Parkour. In the accompanying picture we see an Indian traceur performing a precision.
Surprisingly, even the Indian government is doing it's bit. The Sports Authority of India (which is managed by the Sports Ministry) has opened it's doors in Mumbai for traceurs to train. At the SAI centre in Kandivali, Mumbai there exists some outdoor Parkour training equipment. Even the gym has parkour-specific equipment already present there, and this new outdoor training structure is India's first and only Parkour Gym (although this gym is not a dedicated Parkour training facility, it is still primarily a SAI center).
I think that's pretty cool. You never really hear such stories about the Indian government.
Parkour me up, baby!
So now that got you all fired up and interested in training, eh? Well, lucky for you Parkour Mumbai has started workshops for newbies. Get in touch with them here : parkourmumbai at gmail dot com
If physical exertion is not your thing, then play Mirror's Edge (EA) - a video game largely based on parkour.
You could also watch this fench movie called Distric B13. It has David Belle playing the protagonist. Story isn't awesome. But the action definitely is.
What was that thing about Free Running?
Well, most people claim that free running is more about expressing yourself. Theres more creativity involved.
But the founders don't think so. In their view it's a case of to-ma-to, to-may-to. The Yamakasi group says : "parkour, l'art du deplacement, freerunning, the art of movement... they are all the same thing. They are all movement and they all came from the same place, the same nine guys originally. The only thing that differs is each individual's way of moving".
So class, what did we learn today?
Parkour is a non-competitive discipline with a focus on getting from one place to another by travelling in a straight line and navigating all obstacles in an effecient manner. Parkour was developed by David Belle along with a group of people in 1997. It wasn't developed in a year. It took time.
"Parkour" has been depicted in popular media in a big way. In movies, in ads, television, websites. Lots of places. But it is generally combined with street stunts and tricking.

Samoa, American
This American dependency in the South Pacific has a land area of only 197 sq km/76 sq miles distributed between seven rocky islands of volcanic origin.
The weather and climate are typical of a tropical oceanic environment. Rainfall is heavy and the variations in temperature are small, with June and July coolest and most pleasant.
The prevailing southeast trade winds are strong from May to November, when severe tropical storms may occur. The climate is generally healthy and pleasant; the moderately high temperature and humidity are tempered by brisk daytime winds, either as afternoon sea breezes or as predominant southeast trade winds.
The tables for Papeete on Tahiti and Makatea in the Tuamotu group show weather that is similar to that in American Samoa.

I-O Rocks Out With Tiny Bluetooth Keyboard
If you ever find yourself thinking, "self, this keyboard on my phone is just not working out for me," accessory manufacturer I-O Data has come up with a slightly larger solution. They have just announced a new Bluetooth keyboard which is a good alternative to your PDA's keyboard if you rock the mobile office routine hardcore.
This little ditty weighs a grand total of 170g and uses AA batteries. If you use this keyboard one hour a day one pair of batteries will last 2-3 months. Not bad at all, IMO. I have not found any information leading us to believe it will be released in the States anytime soon, but you never know. For the time being, it will be released June 11 in Japan at $153.
The question is, how small will the keyboard truly be? Small gadgets are awesome, but will it be large enough to actually type on or should we just stick with the keyboards on our PDAs for now? After all, if you can't type on it comfortably, what's the point? (To type on it uncomfortably, I suppose…)

WellPoint said it plans to raise the quarterly dividend it pays shareholders by 30 percent, an announcement that comes about week after the health insurer's stock started slipping after it named a new CEO.
The Indianapolis company said Thursday that it will pay a dividend of 37.5 cents per share in the first quarter, up from its fourth-quarter payout of 28.7 cents per share. The new dividend is payable March 25 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 8.
In a brief statement, WellPoint did not address why its board approved the increase. Companies often look to spend cash they pile up from strong performances on shareholder dividends or stock buybacks.
WellPoint and other big insurers like UnitedHealth Group, Aetna and Humana started beefing up their quarterly dividends a few years ago. The steady cash flow from dividends can make a company more attractive to investors.
The sector generally turns in strong performances each quarter, but investors have been wary of the health care overhaul's impact on insurer profitability. The overhaul promises to bring new business to health insurers by providing coverage to millions of uninsured people starting next year, but it also imposes fees and restrictions on the industry.
WellPoint's new dividend adds up to $1.50 annually, and that produces a yield of about 2.4 percent, based on the stock's Wednesday closing price of $62.58. The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend by the company's stock price.
WellPoint expects to return about $2 billion to shareholders this year, through the dividend and share buybacks. The company had about $1.8 billion remaining from its buyback authorized in late 2012.

With each passing year, the LGBT community's voice grows stronger. Gay pride month is upon us, and along with Philadelphia's pride celebration comes the month-long focus on what makes this community special. Below are some of the big stories that have started off this great month.
2014 LGBT-Friendly Cities Announced
Just in time for pride month, Vocativ announced the 10 most LGBT-friendly cities across the country. Read the story here.
"The Queer Index shows just how fast LGBT rights and public opinion about that community are changing—and not just in big metro areas, but also increasingly in smaller cities throughout the country."
Nordstrom Continues LGBT Support
As one of the first to adopt LGBT-friendly policies, Nordstrom continues its support by posting an LGBT photo on instagram. Read more here.
"We feel the next step in this journey is to now support freedom to marry, also called marriage equality."
New Gender-Neutral Online Retailer Launched
This past month, Dyke Outfitters launched their website, making it easy for anyone to buy gender-neutral clothing without having to search through the racks hoping for something to fit. Read more on the launch here.
"We hope our collection of clothing makes shopping for gay women clothing a more positive experience rather than searching the mall where sizes do not cater to lesbian women. Unfortunately, we are limited to what is available in the current marketplace. As our company grows, it is our goal to manufacture our own line of gay women clothing."
Hallmark Launches LGBT E-Cards
Just in time for Father's Day, Hallmark launched its new e-card line featuring same-sex couples. View them here.
"For the first time ever, Hallmark is offering a same-dad Father's Day e-card. The GIF was released along with a series of four others titled "Lover is Wherever," by transgender artist Kylie Wu."
Hillary Clinton Defends Gay Marriage Views
Clinton responds to accusations that her change on gay marriage is purely political. Read the article and watch the video here.
"I think you are trying to say that I used to be opposed [to gay marriage], and now I am in favor, and I did it for political reasons. And that's just flat wrong."

Killer workout
Monday, February 11, 2013
This morning I drag my butt outta bed & go to class. I walk in & they have the steps with 4 add-ons under (I don't know what the official name is, but it's used in step aerobics) & a mat beside the steps set up. Interesting...I wonder what's planned today.
Teacher begins writing our program on the mirrors (which nobody could see) & says we're gonna be doing the pyramid workout. Oh no!! I just talked with a friend of mine on this style & she said it's HARD. Yikes.
If you've never heard of the pyramid workout it's this & I'll use todays workout as an example. We had 13 activities to do....So we started with #1 - 1 single leg squat (per leg) then we did 1 again & moved on to #2 - 2 burpees with push up..go back & do #1 & #2 again then do #3 - 3 squat jumps etc, ect, ect.
So we begin. It was easy at first..then not so much. I struggled with the box jumps. It was my first time doing those & yeah...not a fan!!! lol. I started getting nervous as I'm slower & was worried I'd be the last one working out, with everyone watching me. BIG FEAR!! Somehow thou I finished before a few girls. WooHoo!!
Then I found out why! I missed #12. Oh crap. I have a whole circuit to complete & now for sure I'll be last. Had I not missed #12 & not stood around for a few minutes, thinking I was done, I'd be almost done. Part way though I thought 'who cares if everyone is done & watching. I WILL NOT stop till I'm done. Everyone can stretch & I'll stretch on my own.' When I got to #9 - 9 Up Downs I notice everyones equipment is put away. Whatever I WILL NOT stop. I start #10 - 10 Skaters & a girls comes over & said 'skaters...alright let's bang this out' & then another girl came over & the 2 girls worked with me till I finished. It was nice of them & I was happy to have company finishing.
Tonight after work I'm going to go for a run with a friend who wants to get back into running. I think she'll only run 3 or 4kms & I'll finish the rest after to make 6km.
Oh Yeah!! In case your wondering...the rude girl was back today. But she was nicer.
Have a sparked day!

You can run 6km. Ah, I can't wait until I can work up to running 3km. Okay to be honest I can't wait until I can run 1 MILE. :( I like running, I am not very GOOD at it. But, then I just stated a month ago, so I shouldn't be too hard on myself.
That workout sounds seriously killer. I don't know if I could do the box jumps. Is that when you have to jump REALLY high onto a box. That move scares me. I am a big whimp when it comes to heights.
That was nice of the girls to finish with you!

Wow, I have to give you a LOT of credit! Can't say I would have gone back and done the #12 circuit; I probably would have just stood around drinking water hoping no one noticed I short-changed the workout!
Glad those 2 women finished up with you -- what an awesome thing to do! And also glad the rude girl was nicer. Apparently she's learned something about not judging based on size alone.

The Muslim Empires of the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals
ISBN13:by Stephen F. Dale
Cambridge University Press

What version or edition is this?
This is the 1st edition with a publication date of 1/29/2010.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
Between 1453 and 1526 Muslims founded three major states in the Mediterranean, Iran and South Asia: respectively the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires. By the early seventeenth century their descendants controlled territories that encompassed much of the Muslim world, stretching from the Balkans and North Africa to the Bay of Bengal and including a combined population of between 130 and 160 million people. This book is the first comparative study of the politics, religion, and culture of these three empires between 1300 and 1923. At the heart of the analysis is Islam, and how it impacted on the political and military structures, the economy, language, literature and religious traditions of these great empires. This original and sophisticated study provides an antidote to the modern view of Muslim societies by illustrating the complexity, humanity and vitality of these empires, empires that cannot be reduced simply to religious doctrine.

TC TO JANE BAILLIE WELSH; 20 March 1826; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18260320-TC-JBW-01; CL 4:62-63.
Hoddam Hill, Monday [20 March 1826].
My good Love— I guessed what was detaining your letter: but I scarcely dared to expect it on Saturday. It came in company with a quarter of a volume of Proofs, or I should have answered it yesterday. But the villainous sheets kept me working till midnight; and now I am to be busy beyond all measure for a week or more. You must just wait, Liebchen, till next opportunity; and in the meantime, I will keep that royal project resting in my thoughts; and who knows but it may be lighter when I come to write of it.
You are a true-hearted woman, after all, my little girl; and I love you in my inmost heart, I believe; notwithstanding my perversities— I also vote that, at all haps and hazards, we be married soon: but I love you better for your love of your Mother; and depend on it, my Dearest, your conscience is no more precious in your own eyes than in mine. These things must be reconciled. Your plan is bright as the May Morn on one side: but (alas, for the conjunction!) there are many buts. Think of it, and leave me to think of it; and I will send you my best deliverance in due time. And so keep thy heart at peace, my bonny bride; and I too will live in full hope: for in some few months, it shall go hard if thou be not lying in my bosom, never to be parted from me any more, but mine for ever and ever. O Himmel und Erde [O heaven and earth]!
This small scrap of a note I owe the opportunity of writing to an arrangement of Jane's. She has manufactured two pairs of wristikins, one for your mother and one for you; which I am to send by this parcel. She also essayed to write; but with her whole skill, it would not do; and so her Love must be content, like Neighbour Franz's, to continue Dumb.1 It is not the less true on that account.
To rejoice your heart still farther, I send you a small Sowing Song,2 which I manufactured the other night, when too sick and dull to commence the Life of Goethe. "I had better have been minding my work"? Devil take you! Is that all my thanks?
Yet you are right: for I never had more cause to work. M'Corkindale (do but consi[der wh]at a sonorous name!) the most superlative of Pr[inters is] languishing for this Life, and his thirsty soul is pant[ing] for it as the hart for water brooks.3 And the thing [is not] begun yet!— Adieu!— Ten thousand kisses!— [Truly] yours forever and ever— T. Carlyle

Landau-Kleffner Syndrome is just one type of epilepsy found among children who are also diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, though the disorder is considered very rare.
Landau-Kleffner Syndrome was originally discovered by William Landau and Frank Kleffner. In 1957, they recognized 6 children with a convulsive disorder and an acquired aphasia. Aphasia is a disorder that affects language comprehension and articulation. Acquired aphasia is where the loss of understanding and articulation is sudden or occurs over time. Being extremely rare, it is difficult to estimate the number of children currently effected by this disorder. Between 1957 and 1990 there was thought to be little over 160 cases.
Similar to autism, Landau-Kleffner Syndrome (LKS) is often confused with an ASD, while it can also be diagnosed in conjunction with autism. It is reported that LKS, which is more prevalent in boys, can have an onset between 2 and 7 years old, though there have instances where it has been diagnosed at a slightly younger age. As for the onset, the status elipticus that is the basis for LKS organizes and 'disappears' around 15 years of age for unknown reasons. However, the damage done with the pervasiveness of the disorder require that all avenues are exhausted to stop the activity, as the damage done can be permanent and even go as far as causing an auditory verbal agnosia (inability to recognize objects, people, shapes or sounds where no memory loss nor sense loss is present).
This disorder can be extremely difficult to treat. Many parents find that the constant chase of LKS is exhausting and frustrating. Medications that work to stop the status elipticus one month, may not another; or when the proper dosage is found, but the medication is pushed to its fullest potential, returning to that previously 'magic' dosage is futile - the medication no longer works. More often that not, children begin with various anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs), lightest first, climbing their way in potency and side-effects to quiet the brain. Steroids often find relief in many cases for the longest times, however, the side-effects become more severe. In still others, an Intravenous Immuniglobin or IVIG is found helpful when it appears LKS is the result of an autoimmune disfunction. The last course of treatment may be a surgical removal of the part of the brain causing the status elipticus.
Landau-Kleffner Syndrome appears as:
- sudden or subtle loss of language, onset can be as early as 1 ½ years of age
- gesturing as communication begins or increases
- language difficulties lead to behavioral problems
- behavioral manifestations can include hyperactivity, poor attention, depression and irritability
- intelligence is in tact, though it may be difficult to determine
- an epileptic seizure is likely to occur just before or shortly after the onset of LKS
- epileptic seizures are more likely to occur at night, but may also happen during the day
- it is not necessary to have a seizure to have LKS
- the epileptic activity of LKS occurs at night and can not be observed by others
- left uncontrolled or undiagnosed, can lead to inability to recognize environmental sounds such as the telephone ringing or a dog barking
- may appear to be deaf though an examine would show the hearing is functioning
- extreme cases develop temporary neurological problems (loss of bladder / bowel control, visual disturbances were the child can see but does not understand what he sees. This includes recognizing family, friends or objects such as food and clothes)
- exhibit autistic-like behavior, including: avoidance of contact with family and friends, avoidance of eye contact, extreme pickiness over food, very disturbed sleep, attacks of rage and aggression, insensitivity to pain, bizarre, inappropriate and repetitive play
- many parents report 'getting a different child' every day or even every hour with no predictability
The only way to determine if a child has Landau-Kleffner Syndrome is through an electroencephalogram (EEG) which must be conducted primarily during the night when LKS is prevalent. Due to the rarity and complex effects on language, sleep and behavior, it may take time for medical professionals to recognize and diagnoses LKS. Landau-Kleffner Syndrome may also be overlooked where a diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Disorder is present.
It is imperative that if a child exhibits any of the above, an investigation into Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, or any other abnormal eliptiform activity begin and if diagnosed, immediate efforts to manage the activity.

Update: Tom Curran of Comcast SportsNet New England: "Expect to see Rob Gronkowski suited up and playing Sunday in at least a limited role, according to a source."
Good news for the New England Patriots, as tight end Rob Gronkowski has increased his practice workload to the normal level that prepares him for a game, according to a source familiar with how the team's practice repetitions were divided, per Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston.
That means, even if we don't see him Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, he'll be ready for the playoffs.
Gronk has been out since November 18th when he broke his forearm against the Indianapolis Colts, missing five games total. He's officially listed as 'questionable' for the third straight time this week. He's been practicing since December 14th, and looks to be just about cleared to play, but the Patriots aren't making any rush decisions on his status.
Head coach Bill Belichick said last week that Rob wasn't ready just yet, leaving it up to the medical staff to make that decision, and Gronkowski echoed his sentiments.
"When the doctors clear me, when the training staff clears me, when I'm medically ready to play and they let me play, I'm sure that's when I'll be out there," he said Wednesday, his first comments to the media since the injury.

This is part of a broader question that I am about to post.
The point is I would like to know if the following theorem is true and if the demonstration is okay.
Let $y: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ Is $\exists \tau : y'(\tau) = 0$, then $\exists U=U(\tau): y(x) = y(\tau) \ \ \forall x \in U $
($U$ being of course a neighborood of $\tau$)
We know that $$\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{y(\tau + h) - y(\tau)}{h} = 0$$ That is to say
$$\forall \varepsilon \ \ \exists \delta\ \ \forall\ |h| < \delta: \left|\frac{y(\tau + h) - y(\tau)}{h}\right| < \varepsilon \ $$
Or $$\left|y(\tau + h) - y(\tau)\right| < |h|\varepsilon < \delta \varepsilon$$
Since $\delta\varepsilon$ gets aribitrarily close to $0$ (not sure about that.. I know that if $\varepsilon$ is small, then also $\delta$ is small, but there is a way to prove it? )
then $y(\tau + h) = y(\tau)$ because the left hand side is $\ge 0$ but must be smaller than any number $> 0$. So it has to be $0$
And this has to hold $\forall \ |h| < \delta$, so it is proven that such $U = U(\tau)$ exists.

Obsidian Entertainment, the developer responsible for Fallout: New Vegas, has made their desire to return to the post-apocalyptic series known on multiple occasions. Should Bethesda ever give the team the chance to create another Fallout title, New Vegas director Josh Sawyer already knows what direction he would want to take the franchise if the opportunity presented itself. Speaking to IGN on July 24, Sawyer revealed that his ideas for another Fallout game would include online multiplayer.
Sawyer would like to see Fallout become an MMO in a similar fashion to Bethesda's other popular franchise The Elder Scrolls. The developer also made comparisons between how a traditional single-player title could transition to an online game by pointing out what Bioware did with Star Wars: The Old Republic. Obsidian has watched the Star Wars MMO closely because they have a personal connection with the franchise since they developed the second installment of the Knights of the Old Republic series.
However, it's the Fallout universe that Obsidian Entertainment wants to bring into the world of online gaming. The developer has a long history with the franchise that they hope to continue while they hope to evolve the series to the MMO genre. In addition to Fallout: New Vegas, many Obsidian employees have had large roles in creating the classic isometric Fallout titles.
Taking the series of Fallout, complete with the post-apocalyptic world's different factions and skills, seems to be the perfect basis for an online title according to Obsidian. Sawyer explained how he feels that the franchise would be a perfect fit for an MMO by stating, "Personally, I think there are some interesting things that could happen in Fallout in an MMO environment."
While Obsidian Entertainment continues to publically declare their intentions to make a new Fallout game, the developer is completely dependent on receiving Bethesda's permission to do so. At this time the publisher has made no announcements pertaining to the future of the Fallout franchise and has stated that any possible be news for any games that re currently in development won't be revealed any time soon.

Central Florida metal band Severed By Faith is celebrating the release of their debut EP "Undaunted" with a show at West End Trading Company on Friday, May 16. Joining them for this special show are Orlando bands More Than You Can Bear and F.I.L.T.H. as well as Central Florida band Catcher & the Rye.
Severed By Faith formed in early 2012 and describe their music as upbeat, driving metal, leaving no one standing still. "We feel our music can be appreciated by all types of metal fans," said the band members in a recent email interview. "We have heavy breakdowns, melodic riffs, tasteful choruses and two-step grooves."
The band members are Nat Bisignano (drums, vocals), Blake Kocielko (lead vocals), Joey Leonard (lead guitar), Mike Campbell (rhythm guitar) and Kyle Curiale (bass, vocals). With this show, they are looking forward to "Being able to show everyone what we've been working on over the last year and seeing people going f**king nuts when we play."
Severed By Faith recorded their six song EP, "Undaunted," with Kyle Hoffer of Ponderifica Productions in Orlando. The band and Ponderifica Productions have put up two singles from the EP, "Neverlasting" and High Hopes & False Dreams" up as FREE downloads on Soundcloud until the release show. About Hoffer's work on the new EP, the band said, "He did a kick ass job!"
Orlandobands.com will be hosting the show. "We've worked with OrlandoBands.com on a few shows and have nothing but good things to say about Orlando Bands," said the band. "We specifically requested them to be our first choice to put our EP release show together. Ben Gardner and his team do great work. You always know what's going on with the show and there are never surprises when you show up to the venue. Orlando Bands is by far the best in the Central Florida area. We would recommend any band wanting to break into the local scene to get in touch with them. It's hard to find good people in this business and Ben Gardner is the best. We really can't say enough good things about OrlandoBands.com, we could go on and on, but the bottom line is if you want a seamless show, get a hold of them!"
Music fans can check out Severed By Faith on their Facebook, Reverbnation and Twitter profiles.
Advance tickets for the show are $5 and are available from each of the bands. Tickets will be $8 day of show. The doors open at 8 p.m. West End Trading Company is located at 202 S. Sanford Ave. in Sanford.

Jefferson County CO- How do you get released from jail by mistake? Apparently you just check into the Jefferson County Jail. Reports indicate that Damon Slayton was mistakenly released this morning at 8:45 from the Jeffco jail. The sheriff's office is reporting that this offender was being held for the Department of Corrections. There appear to be no other details available from the sheriff's office as an investigation is underway into the circumstances of the error.
The sheriff's department describes Slayton as: "Slayton is a black male, 5'10" tall and 160 lbs. He has black hair, brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and black pants. He has tattoos of a snake and boxing gloves on his arms. Anyone who sees Slayton, is asked to call 911."
According to Fox 31 and CBI records, Slayton has been arrested 47 times with an arrest record dating back to 1991.While the sheriff's department notes that no foul play is suspected and their investigation is ongoing- perhaps a staffing shortage in the jail might be part of their investigation. The sheriff's department recently closed their application process for detention specialists on March 15th. The department continues to seek qualified and certified deputy sheriff's for their support services division.

It remains unclear why Adam Lanza (20), who had no criminal history and whose family remember as nerdy and remote, gunned down two dozen people.
The scandal began with a botched burglary that initially attracted little attention but ended two years later with the first and only resignation of a president. To many Americans, Watergate is a dimming memory, if that. A majority of living Americans were not yet born or were children when President Richard Nixon was forced from office in 1974.

Avon Products, Inc. recently marked its 120th anniversary. The company was founded in 1886 by traveling salesman David H. McConnell, who accompanied the books he sold to female customers with bottles of perfume. In the tradition of the first "Avon lady," Mrs. P.F.E. Albee of Winchester, New Hampshire, more than five million representatives continue to sell Avon products today.
MORE.com spoke to three over-40 women who have turned selling beauty products into life-changing careers.
Sue Mazza, 48, Naperville, Illinois
Former career: Advertising salesNew title: Senior Executive Unit Leader (oversees 600 reps) and a Certified Beauty Adviser Trainer for Avon
Q. You used to work in advertising. What made you want to change careers?A. When I had my second daughter, I realized that the cost of childcare was going to be outrageous, and I wanted to be able to stay at home with my children and still find a way to bring in income.
Q. Why Avon?A. I chose Avon because it's the number one company in the world for women. We do so much to advance women's causes, from raising money for breast cancer research to fighting domestic violence. And it has such a strong leadership role for women in the company, from corporate employees all the way down to Avon district managers.
Q. How has this career changed your life?A. I earn as much money now, or more, than I did when I was working full-time for somebody else. But I'm my own boss and I control my schedule. So after this [interview] I'm going shopping. I've had three appointments this morning and countless phone calls. But I'm able to, as my own boss, say okay, you can have the afternoon off to go shopping. And I'm able to give back to the community because I have time and money to do those things. It's something that's allowed me to change the lives of other women as well as my own.
Lisa Wilber, 43, Weare, New Hampshire
Former career: Convenience store clerk; secretaryNew title: Senior Executive Unit Leader (oversees 2,000 reps) for Avon
Q. You used to work as a secretary. What made you change careers?A. Actually it was my second career change. I worked third shift in a convenience store before getting the secretary job, and I thought that was my big break: to be a secretary. What made me change careers wasn't anything more than desperation. I got laid off my job in 1987 because of a company downsizing, and I couldn't find another company to hire me. I couldn't even get hired by a temp agency, because I didn't type fast enough. I cried for a week. My husband at the time said, 'Why don't you try to do more with that Avon thing that you've been playing with?' So I began researching it and decided that I needed to earn my first trip so that I could meet the other full-time people. And once I went on my first Avon trip and met the other people that were earning big money, that was it for me.
Q. How has your new career changed your life?A. Oh, are you kidding? When I was a secretary, I lived in a trailer park, drove a Yugo, was eating macaroni all the time, was getting my electric shut off. And now, I'm a millionaire. And I just am stunned. I get to do really wild things. In September I got to go to England with Avon and speak at the convention in Birmingham, and they treated me like a rock star. I got first class tickets over there, they put me up in a suite, and I spoke for 10 minutes and got a standing ovation. I mean, where does that happen in real life? It's a fabulous life, and to come from working third shift in a convenience store to having so many things that I get to experience — it's just unbelievable that this could have happened.
Q. What advice would you give to other women who are in the same shoes that you used to be in? A. I have such devotion and admiration for the company, but I want to say that it's people, individually, and their belief in themselves that's going to make them successful.

text: It was just a week ago that the ever-spiffy celebrity chef was in Birmingham christening his newish restaurant Todd English P.U.B. — it opened in February, AL.com explained, but this was the first time the restaurateur had a chance to check the place out. "Birmingham and Alabama as a state seem to be growing," said English, who's now apparently continued his whirlwind tour on to Washington, D.C., where he also visited his brand-new Metro Center restaurant, MXDC, which is Mexican. "The area is really emerging," he says. Anyway, the Über-chef says he's next headed to NYC, where he'll open another MX. Expect four to six ceviches (including one with "blue cheese") and octopus tacos. There's no name yet, the Washington Business Journal reports but says English is "considering keeping it consistent with this one and naming it MXNYC." [WBJ]

Running out of gas is always a pain and it for some reason or other it usually happens when your miles from the nearest gas station, but what do you do if you're taking part in one of the toughest races around, the Dakar 2011 and you have to get to that finish line?
Watch what Francisco 'Chaleco' Lopez tries to do when he ends up running just on the fumes of his Aprilia RXV 450 and has the not so brilliant idea of trying to steal some gas from a spectator's parked motorcycle and ends up getting his wrists slapped by a local cop. Priceless.
