Yeltsin (right) leaving the Kremlin after resigning on December 31, 1999 (ITAR-TASS)
April 23, 2007 (RFE/RL) -- Boris Yeltsin, the first president of an independent Russia, has died at the age of 76, reportedly of heart failure.
April 23, 2007
MORE: Coverage in Russian from RFE/RL's Russian Service.
Early Riser He joined the Communist Party in 1961, at the age of 30. Yeltsin spent the next two decades rising through the ranks of Sverdlovsk's Communist Party organization, becoming first secretary of the Sverdlovsk Region's Communist Party Committee in 1976. In 1985, the same year Mikhail Gorbachev came to power, Yeltsin was brought to Moscow and made a member of the Soviet Communist Party's Central Committee. He soon joined the Kremlin's inner sanctum, becoming first secretary of Moscow's Communist Party Committee and a member of the Politburo. But Yeltsin retained a populist touch, which presaged Gorbachev's own democratization campaign. He rode the subways from time to time, and was fond of turning up at Moscow markets to sample farmers' produce. Just as the first winds of perestroika began to blow, however, Yeltsin broke with his Kremlin mentors.

CLINTON ON YELTSIN: U.S. President Bill Clinton spoke to reporters in Washington on December 31, 1999, shortly after hearing that Boris Yeltsin had resigned. Here are some of his comments:
"[Boris Yeltsin's] lasting achievement has been dismantling the communist system and creating a vital, democratic process within a constitutional framework. The fact that Prime Minister [Vladimir] Putin assumes responsibility today as acting president, in accordance with the constitution, is the latest example of President Yeltsin's achievement."
"The relationship between the United States and Russia under President Yeltsin has produced genuine progress for both our people. Five thousand strategic nuclear weapons have been dismantled. Our nuclear weapons are no longer targeted at each other. We have worked together to eliminate nuclear weapons from the other states of the former Soviet Union."
"Well, I liked him because he was always very [direct] with me. He always did exactly what he said he would do, and he was willing to take chances to try to improve our relationship, to try to improve democracy in Russia."
"I liked him because I think he genuinely deplored communism. He lived with it, he saw it, and he believed that democracy was the best system. I think it was in every fiber of his being."
"We had our arguments. We had our fights. We had our genuine disagreements about our national interests from time to time, but I think that the Russian people were well served to have a leader who honestly believed that their votes ought to determine who is running the show in Russia and what the future direction of the country should be."

Statement: Definitions of poverty should not distract from growing and urgent crisis affecting poorest children in UK
Justin Forsyth, Save the Children's Chief Executive, said: "How we define poverty is of course important and the current target has driven real progress. But we shouldn't allow the debate about definitions to distract from the growing and urgent crisis affecting the poorest children in this country. The reality is that there are 3.6 million children growing up in poverty in the UK, children without a winter coat or going to bed hungry, and this number is set to grow. The government needs to focus not on changing definitions but on policies that work like the living wage, affordable child care and on early education programmes targeted at low income families that allow children to get the very most out of school."

After more than 30 years in business, managers of Check Chevrolet in Barbourville say they were losing money trying to stay open.
Workers say the owner of Check Chevrolet did everything he could to keep the dealership open.
Manager Gean Justice says, "He had to look out here at 35 people that he knew what would happen if he had to let them go. So he kept this going for as long as he could."
Donna Hendrickson worked for the company for 20 years, Sam Wynn for 32. Now both are looking for a job somewhere else, in a time when they say work is hard to find.
"I don't know, it's just hard to get a job. I've talked to other people and there's nothing out there," says Wynn.
Manager Gene Justice says about 25 people were laid off during the past year as sales slowed. He says with General Motors' grim financial situation, no one is buying.
"The survey is done, it's been anywhere from 75 to 80 percent of people would not buy a product from a manufacturer that was filing bankruptcy," says Justice.
Now, 35 employees are without work at the start of the holiday season.
"It makes it even sadder, it makes it harder. we actually were told the day before Thanksgiving. It's just sad," says Wynn.
"It's sad, it's very depressing. But, you know, we'll make it!" says Hendrickson.
Justice expects to ship all the dealership's unsold cars back to General Motors. Gene Justice says the Check Motorcycle shop is still open, and right now there are no plans to close it.

Roger stunned by Söderling
Roger was upset by Sweden's Robin Söderling at the French Open today, ending his record streak of 23 straight Grand Slam semifinals. Roger lost 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 4-6.
Roger started well and had everything well under control in the first set. But Söderling suddenly cranked up his response and took a 2-0 lead in the second, finally winning the set as both players held serve from there. Roger had a set point in the 10th game of the third set which unfortunately he could not make use of. Play was suspended with Roger leading 30-15 due to rain. After an interruption of over an hour, Roger eventually dropped his serve and then lost the set.
Roger seemed to come back in the final set as he took a 2-0 lead. But it wasn't long before the Swede pushed forward again, breaking back and eventually wrapping up the match after 2h 30min when Roger went long with a weary return.
The last time Roger did not reach the semi-final of a Grand Slam tournament was in 2004, when he was evicted in Paris by Gustavo Kuerten. Today's defeat opens up the possibility that, should Rafael Nadal win the title, Roger will lose the top ranking just a week before equalling Pete Sampras's record of 286 weeks at number one.
Win or lose, you are still the greatest player of all time. Although this loss broke your record of consecutive semis, you kept the record. You can break Connors' record of most overall semis (31 semis). Go for it, and don't stop. All of your
Great post...Thank you
My feelings exactly!!!
Roger has slowed down some
But he will be back
He is on a roll again
He will break more records
He will exult in triumph and glory
He will always be our splendid hero
May the Gods
?????? ??????????
?? ????
??????? ????
Roger can still break the record for most weeks at number one. He's already got the record for most consecutive weeks at no. 1 so all he has to do is get back to bei
Fue un mal dia en paris pero queda mucho por hacer, suerte en Londres y siempre te apoyamos.

Location: Food Quality Laboratory
Project Number: 8042-43440-005-03
Start Date: Jun 01, 2014
End Date: May 31, 2019
This collaborative project takes multi-disciplinary approaches to address a number of important issues related to the quality and nutrition losses of fruits and vegetables in supply chain. To address objective 1, ARS will first evaluate the temperature profiles of retail store display cases as impacted by case operational conditions (thermostat setting, duty cycle, defrost duration, and frequencies etc.) using temperature simulators, and then using commercially processed fresh-cut salads. The cabinet temperatures on microbial growth and shelf life of salad products will then be determined. To address objective 2, ARS will analyze the concentrations of various vitamins and antioxidants in emerging fruits and vegetables, especially micro greens. ARS will further assess the effect of pre- and post-harvesting conditions including light exposure and calcium application on the changes in phytonutrient concentration and product quality attributes.

† The seasonality of our business;
† Regional risks because our stores are generally concentrated in the eastern half of the United States;

† Our ability to meet our labor needs;
† Currency exchange rate fluctuations;

We do not assume any obligation and do not intend to update any forward-looking statements except as may be required by the securities laws.
Investors should also be aware that while the Company does communicate with securities analysts, from time to time, such communications are conducted in accordance with applicable securities laws and investors should not assume that the Company agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report.
Dick's is an authentic full-line sporting goods retailer offering a broad assortment of brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment. The Company also owns and operates Golf Galaxy, LLC, a golf specialty retailer ("Golf Galaxy"). Unless otherwise specified, any reference to "year" is to our fiscal year and when used in this Form 10-Q and unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Dick's", "we", "us", "the Company" and "our" refer to Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
As of October 29, 2011, we operated 474 Dick's stores in 42 states and 81 Golf Galaxy stores in 30 states, with approximately 27.3 million square feet in 43 states on a consolidated basis, the majority of which are located throughout the eastern half of the United States. Additionally, the Company maintains e-commerce operations for both Dick's and Golf Galaxy.
Due to the seasonal nature of our business, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year. Our revenue and earnings are typically greater during our fiscal fourth quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday selling season.
The primary factors that historically influenced the Company's profitability and success have been its growth in the number of stores and selling square footage, positive same store sales and its strong gross profit margins. In the last five years, the Company has grown from 294 stores as of October 28, 2006 to 555 stores as of October 29, 2011, reflecting both organic growth and acquisitions. The Company continues to expand its presence through the opening of new stores, although the rate of growth has decreased from the rate of growth experienced in earlier years, reflecting ongoing economic conditions.
In order to monitor the Company's success, the Company's senior management monitors certain key performance indicators, including:
† Consolidated same store sales performance - For the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, the Company's consolidated same store sales increased 2.9% compared to a 6.2% increase during the same period in fiscal 2010. The Company believes that its ability to consistently deliver increases in consolidated same store sales will be a key factor in achieving its targeted levels of earnings per share and continuing its store expansion program to an ultimate goal of at least 900 Dick's locations across the United States.
† Operating cash flow - Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $36.2 million in the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011, while the Company used $17.5 million in operating activities during the same period in fiscal 2010. We typically generate significant positive operating cash flows in our fiscal fourth quarter in connection with the holiday selling season and proportionately higher net income levels. See further discussion of the Company's cash flows in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources and Changes in Financial Condition" section herein. The Company believes that a key strength of its business has been the ability to consistently generate positive cash flow from operations. Strong cash flow generation is critical to the future success of the Company, not only to support the general operating needs of the Company, but also to fund capital expenditures related to new store openings, relocations, expansions and remodels, distribution centers, quarterly cash dividends, costs associated with continued improvement of information technology tools and costs associated with potential strategic acquisitions or investments that may arise from time to time.
† Quality of merchandise offerings - To monitor and maintain acceptance of its merchandise offerings, the Company monitors sell-throughs, inventory turns, gross margins and markdown rates at a department and style level. This analysis helps the Company manage inventory receipts and markdowns to reduce cash flow requirements and deliver optimal gross margins by improving merchandise flow and establishing appropriate price points to minimize markdowns.
† Store productivity - To assess store-level performance, the Company monitors various indicators, including new store productivity, sales per square foot, store operating contribution margin and store cash flow. New store productivity compares the sales increase for all stores not included in the same store sales calculation with the increase in square footage.
As discussed in Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2011, the Company considers its policies on inventory valuation, vendor allowances, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets and closed store reserves, business combinations, self-insurance reserves, stock-based compensation and uncertain tax positions to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing its consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes in the Company's critical accounting policies during the period ended October 29, 2011.
Executive Summary
The Company reported net income of $41.5 million for the current quarter, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the 13 weeks ended October 30, 2010. Net income for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2011 includes an increase to net income of $1.3 million, net of tax, or $0.01 per diluted share, resulting from a partial reversal of litigation settlement costs previously accrued during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Net income for the 13 weeks ended October 30, 2010 included expenses relating to future lease payments and asset impairment charges resulting from the closure of 12 underperforming Golf Galaxy stores of approximately $9.8 million, net of tax, or $0.08 per diluted share.
Net sales for the current quarter increased 9.3% to $1.2 billion, due primarily to a 4.1% increase in consolidated same store sales and the opening of new stores.
As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 126 basis points to 29.72% for the quarter, due primarily to higher merchandise margins and leverage of fixed occupancy costs.
We ended the third quarter with no outstanding borrowings under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended (the "Credit Agreement").
On November 14, 2011, our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved and declared our first ever cash dividend. The $0.50 per share dividend will be paid on December 28, 2011 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 7, 2011. The Company currently intends to begin payments of regular quarterly dividends beginning in fiscal 2012; however, the actual declaration of such future dividends and the establishment of the per share amount, record dates and payment dates for such future dividends are subject to the final determination of the Company's Board, and will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other factors.

(1) Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax. Revenue from e-commerce sales is recognized upon shipment of merchandise and any service-related revenue is recognized primarily as the services are performed. A provision for anticipated merchandise returns is provided through a reduction of sales and cost of goods sold in the period that the related sales are recorded. Revenue from gift cards and returned merchandise credits (collectively, the "cards") is deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. These cards have no expiration date. Income from unredeemed cards is recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of income in selling, general and administrative expenses upon determination that redemption becomes remote. The Company performs an evaluation of the aging of the unredeemed cards, based on the elapsed time from the date of original issuance, to determine when redemption becomes remote.
(2) Cost of goods sold includes the cost of merchandise, inventory shrinkage and obsolescence, freight, distribution and store occupancy costs. Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset-based taxes, store maintenance, utilities, depreciation, fixture lease expenses and certain insurance expenses.
(3) Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising, bank card charges, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating the Company's corporate headquarters. Selling, general and administrative expenses also includes the partial reversal of litigation settlement costs for the fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2011 and expenses relating to future lease payments and asset impairment charges resulting from the closure of 12 underperforming Golf Galaxy stores for the fiscal quarter ended October 30, 2010.
(4) Pre-opening expenses consist primarily of rent, marketing, payroll and recruiting costs incurred prior to a new or relocated store opening, which are expensed as incurred.
(5) Gain on sale of available-for-sale securities.
(6) Interest expense primarily includes rent payments under the Company's financing lease obligation for its corporate headquarters and interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
(7) Results primarily from gains and losses associated with changes in deferred compensation plan investment values and interest income earned on highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
(8) A store is included in the same store sales calculation in the same fiscal period that it commences its 14th full month of operations. Stores that were closed or relocated during the applicable period have been excluded from same store sales. Each relocated store is returned to the same store base in the fiscal period that it commences its 14th full month of operations at that new location.
13 Weeks Ended October 29, 2011 Compared to the 13 Weeks Ended October 30, 2010
Net Income
The Company reported net income of $41.5 million for the current quarter, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the 13 weeks ended October 30, 2010. Net income for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2011 includes an increase to net income of $1.3 million, net of tax, or $0.01 per diluted share, resulting from a partial reversal of litigation settlement costs previously accrued during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Net income for the 13 weeks ended October 30, 2010 included expenses relating to future lease payments and asset impairment charges resulting from the closure of 12 underperforming Golf Galaxy stores of approximately $9.8 million, net of tax, or $0.08 per diluted share.
Net Sales
Net sales for the current quarter increased 9.3% to $1.2 billion, due primarily to a 4.1% increase in consolidated same store sales and the opening of new stores. The 4.1% consolidated same store sales increase consisted of a 3.8% increase in Dick's Sporting Goods stores, a 2.4% increase in Golf Galaxy stores and a 16.8% increase in the Company's e-commerce business. The inclusion of the e-commerce business resulted in an increase of approximately 37 basis points to the Company's consolidated same store sales calculation for the 13 weeks ended October 29, 2011, compared to 140 basis points for the 13 weeks ended October 30, 2010.
The increase in consolidated same store sales was primarily driven by increases in apparel, footwear and team sports, which were partially offset by decreases in outdoor categories. The consolidated same store sales increase was attributable to an increase of approximately 4.8% in sales per transaction, partially offset by a decrease in transactions of approximately 1.0% at Dick's stores. Every 1% change in same store sales would have impacted earnings before income taxes for the current quarter by approximately $3 million.
Income from Operations
Income from operations increased to $71.6 million for the current quarter from $28.2 million for the 13 weeks ended October 30, 2010, primarily attributable to a $43.5 million increase in gross profit.
Gross profit increased approximately 14% to $350.6 million for the current quarter from $307.1 million for the 13 weeks ended October 30, 2010. The 126 basis point increase as a percentage of net sales is due primarily to a 79 basis point decrease in fixed occupancy costs resulting from leverage on the increase in consolidated same store sales compared to last year's quarter and a 47 basis . . .

We all suspected that Kim Kardashian might not be done with blond hair color—and lo and behold, here's a shot she just posted to Instagram.
"It's baaaaack!!!! #BlondeHairDontCare thanks to @SergeNormant," Kim's caption reads.
Meanwhile, she also posted this photo from earlier in the day (on set with stylist Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele) in blond hair that looks an awful lot like a wig. It's just too soon for us to confirm what's really going on here.
While it's true that a Kardashian changes her hair color every 12 minutes, when Kim Kardashian does a change this drastic, we have to stop and discuss. Because that's just the world we live in. So...what's your reaction to Kim Kardashian going back to blond?
UPDATE: Yep, turns out Kim was wearing a wig, just as we (and most of our commenters!) suspected. But it sure looks like Kim loves wearing the color in the "It's just a wig" Instagram she has since posted.
"It's just a wig! Looks so real though right?" she says.
Oh, celebrities, always trying to trick us with their Instagram hair photos.

Daniel Loeb: Herbalife a Winner, Gold a Loser In Q1
Third Point's Daniel Loeb said Herbalife was one of its top five winning investments in the first quarter, while gold was one of its biggest losers.
In his first quarter investor letter, Loeb said his Third Point Offshore Fund Ltd. rose 9.0%, which underperformed the S&P 500′s 10.6% gain. Herbalife was among the fund's top performers, the letter said. Loeb didn't disclose what position the fund currently has in the nutritional-supplement maker.
WSJ reported earlier this month that Third Point had made at least $50 million on its estimated bet of more than $200 million on Herbalife and that the firm had largely exited its Herbalife stake.
Loeb and Carl Icahn are among several prominent investors that have taken large stakes betting on Herbalife's resurgence. On the other side is Bill Ackman, who has made a $1 billion bet against the stock and has said the company is operating an illegal pyramid scheme.
In addition to Herbalife, Third Point said Yahoo, AIG and Virgin Media were among the fund's top performers in the first quarter. Gold and Greek government bonds were among the fund's biggest losers. Gold prices fell 4.8% in the first quarter.
Loeb said his fund increased its exposure to International Paper in the first quarter. "IP has a compelling case for ownership buoyed by excellent sector and secular tailwinds," the letter said.
The firm also boosted its stake in Liberty Global, Europe's largest cable operator, after its acquisition of Virgin Media. "We believe Liberty's strategic value as the primary alternative to the incumbent telecom operator's fixed infrastructure in its markets is overlooked," Loeb said.
Loeb also devoted a sizable chunk of the letter to the fact that Japan has been a big winner for his fund, noting that a visit to Japan a year ago helped fuel his thesis on the country.
"We recognized from past experience that meaningful quantitative easing in Japan could provide opportunities like our 'don't fight the Fed' investments in 2009‐10 and European sovereign debt trades in 2012," Loeb said.

I received my order quickly from espymall, I'm a professional installer, in my opinion the surveillance system is very easy to install compare to other brands. Also the system is using CCD security cameras instead of cmos cameras, which provides a lot better picture quality yet cheaper than similar products you buy from other retail stores.

I know it's hard to find time to de-clutter. "I don't have all weekend, and that's how long it would take to make a difference!". Not true! You can clean up your home over time, by taking five!
No, not a five minute break – but this little task is so easy, you won't even need a break!
Pick up 5 things, and find places for them!
These should be things that you actually use, but that you just seem to put anywhere, because they don't have good places. If you don't know exactly where things belong, you have to designate a good spot. Take a minute to think it through — where would be a good spot? Then always put those things in those spots when you're done using them. Do this a few times a day in your home, a few things at a time, and before you know it – you're going to start seeing a big difference! [LG]Here's a great Tote for taking 5 to any room![/LG]
Thanks to Leo Babauta from ZenHabits.net for the great idea!

Bolton V Spurs
Happy days again.
Thought we deserved the 3 pts and again showed why we are in the top 4.
Not many teams in the PL have as many fast players as us and this is definately where we can beat opposition who open up and try to attack us,which was Boltons undoing.
Didn't enjoy the first10 mins in the 2nd half when they threatened, and we seemed to lose composure,but as i said this cost them dearly.
A couple of decent perfomances again,Lennon,vdv,Ade,but more of a team effort though, imho Rose is not good enough yet.
Quite like the look of Figuiro(wigan left back)sorry if the spellings wrong,but he has pace,stature and could definately be one to watch.(WOULD LIKE SOME FEEDBACK PLEASE).
As for the other results of the evening,thought Newcastle got lucky against the Chavs(going on highlights)and thier next 2 games will bring them down to earth,but fair play to them for hanging on in there.
Here's hopeing we can do more of the same in the final 2 games and the ARSE slip up,giving us that 3rd position which is rightfully ours this season.
PS.so nice not to have the GOOOOOOOONS jumping all over us after each game.
I'LL say it again,fingers crossed,bum cheeks tight squeesly and all the others.
COYS SPURS FOREVER ATB JEFFALLSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
disagree sfer.
some of what u have said is true for a few games.
but there have been lots where teams havent parked the bus & we still have moved the ball slowly & not attacked with pace.
as mentioned by someone else, we have become a possession team since the turn of the year. the other thing is bale has been coming in to the packed middle too.
sometimes harry plays modric wide left & bale wide right which is silly. it ends up even narrower!
if bale stayed playing down the left & lennon down the right we would have much more joy. look at some of the goals against bolton. there has been space to do that against other teams but we stayed narrow & tryed to bulldoze through the middle with 27 passes.
norwich played with 2 fowards & attacked us. we created little & for the majority of the game attacked slowly with tappy tap passing. the only goal was when livermore decided to play an early through ball to defoe. the amount of times defoe makes good runs like that but doesnt get played in is a joke.
we seem to ignore the obvious through ball or slide rule pass even when its clearly on. we would rather pass it 10 times on the halfway line first. maybe thats why it probably took a livermore to play the pass. the regulars dont seem to do it.
we have won once away from home this year. are u seriously saying all the home teams we played parked the bus?!!!!!
say what lol! a fair few of them attacked us like u would expect a home team too & we still didnt counter attack or attack quickly with pace. we just seemed to ignore this tactic for some reason. our losses too city & utd twice & arsenal- did they all park the bus?! no they didnt. especially arsenal. they through men foward & left loads of chances for us to counter atack with pace. lennon was made for that game but wasnt picked for some strange reason. he would have explioted the space.
i can think of a few teams who parked the bus as u would expect. but not even half the teams we havent beaten parked the bus.
sfer, i think u are being far too kind to our team!
also, in the 1st half of the year when we we're winning, teams parked the bus & we still overcame them.
another thing- harry is doing the worst tactic & team selection for teams who park the bus. he plays 1 isolated striker with the other (vdv) dropping so deep into the middle of the park which is already packed!
we end up with everyone in the middle, bale wonders in the middle too. vdv is there too. the other team have everyone behind the ball & want u to try to go through the middle, so we oblige! u need to stretch teams that parked the bus. u need to have at least 1 guy in the box, not just ade who isnt a natural goal poacher anyway.
u play 4-4-2 with defoe & ade up top. u have parker to guard against the counter attack. as well as the 4 normal defenders.
surely they should cope against lower prem teams who park the bus.
when i see the team line up at home to teams like stoke who get everyone behind the ball, im already thinking how the hell are we going to create chances.
fair enough against good teams who are more attacking, we drop defoe & play vdv deeper. but at home to teams like stoke u need to be more attacking & use the width to stretch them, rather than playing with 1 isolated striker & having bale come into the middle.

No. 19/17 Women's lacrosse squares off with Longwood in Saturday's home opener
March 8, 2013
Stony Brook, N.Y. - After going 4-1 on its season-opening road swing, the No. 19/17 Stony Brook women's lacrosse team returns to LaValle Stadium for its home opener against Longwood Saturday, March 9 at 6 p.m.
Below are notes in 140 characters or less about the Stony Brook women's lacrosse team. Feel free to share them with your followers, and be sure to follow @SBAthletics for all the news and notes on Stony Brook Athletics. You can also follow the women's lacrosse team at @SBWlax and head coach Joe Spallina at @JoeSpallina.
Last Time Out
Stony Brook (3-1) jetted off to a 12-1 lead in the opening stanza and never looked back, downing Duquesne, 16-3, Thursday in Downingtown, Pa. Seniors Janine Hillier and Demmianne Cook paced the Seawolves with six points apiece, both on five goals and one helper. Frankie Caridi made five saves in net as SBU matched a school record for fewest goals allowed in a single game for the second straight week.
Scouting the Lancers
Series History
Movin' on Up
Following a resounding victory over CCSU, SBU moved up three spots, from No. 20 to No. 17, in the deBeer Media Poll and stayed pat at No. 19 in the IWLCA Coach's Poll. SBU was ranked in both major preseason polls for the first time in program history this year, coming in at No. 18 and No. 19 in the coaches and media polls, respectively.
Petersen, Cook Named to Tewaarton Watch List
Seniors Claire Petersen and Demmianne Cook, two of the most prolific scorers in Stony Brook women's lacrosse history, have been named to the 2013 Tewaaraton watch list, The Tewaaraton Foundation announced Friday, Feb. 22. The list includes the elite women's lacrosse players in the nation and highlights the early contenders for the 2013 award.
The Tewaaraton Award is given annually to the top male and female lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are made up of top collegiate coaches and are appointed each year by The Tewaaraton Foundation. Both lists will be narrowed to 25 men's and women's nominees in late April, and five finalists will be announced in mid-May with the winner slated to be revealed at the 13th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony on May 30 at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C.
Claire Petersen's 10 points against Bucknell on Feb. 16 are the second-most for any player in the country in a single contest this season, while her game-high six assists rank fourth nationally, according to NCAA statistics released March 4. The outburst tied a personal- and school-best, as the senior attacker tallied 10 points in two games in 2012. She also sits in the top-10 in the country in assists per game and the top-20 in total helpers. Petersen, who was named a contender for the 2013 Tewaarton Award, leads Stony Brook with nine assists this season and is second in points with 20.
Demmianne Cook paces the Seawolves with 20 goals this year. She ranks in the top-five nationally in goals per game and goals scored in a single contest after putting seven balls in the back of the cage at Bucknell, according to NCAA statistics released March 4. Cook, a Tewaarton contender, also ranks in the top-20 in total goals and points per game.
Caridi in the Cage
As of March 4, Frankie Caridi sits in the top-20 nationally in save percentage and goals against average. She stopped five of the eight shots she faced at CCSU on Feb. 28 and against Duquesne on March 7 and previously made seven saves and posted a 70 percent save percentage in the season opener against Bucknell on Feb. 16.
That's Offensive
With 16 goals against Duquesne, the Seawolves' high-powered offense kept pace with its scoring average of 16 goals per contest, the ninth-best average in the country. Stony Brook's 20-goal explosion at Bucknell Feb. 16 is 21st in the country for most tallies in a single contest.
Envelope, Please...
Frankie Caridi has picked up two of the first three America East Defensive Player of the Week awards, including the most recent one, while Claire Petersen was named America East Offensive Player of the Week Feb. 18. Caridi received the recognition this week after stopping five of Blue Devils' eight shots on net and anchoring a defense that matched a program record for fewest goals allowed in a single She
2013 Stony Brook America East Conference Weekly Awards
Defensive Player of the Week.....................Frankie Caridi (3/4/13)
Guess Who's Back?
Stony Brook, tabbed as the favorite to win the America East, returns 20 letterwinners, its entire starting lineup and 96 percent of its goal scoring (252 of 263 goals) from the 2012 team that shattered school records.
Claire Petersen, a senior attacker, notched an all-time, SBU-best 101 points in 2012 on 42 goals and 59 assists, also a school record. Many of her assists went to Demmianne Cook, a 2012 all-conference midfielder who tallied a program-record 68 goals last season. Midfielder Janine Hillier, another All-America East honoree, posted 47 goals and sits tied for second with Amy Taylor on Stony Brook's all-time, single-season ledger for goals scored. Michelle Rubino, a midfielder who took a school-record 94 draw controls during her rookie year, also makes her way back to the field this season.
Fresh Faces
SBU adds eight true freshmen to its roster, including a top-notch defensive recruit in Alyssa Fleming. The 5-9 Fleming, who led Shoreham-Wading River High School to the state championship in 2009, 2010 and 2012, garnered All-American and All-County accolades in 2012 and was tabbed All-County in 2010. She is a pure 1-on-1 defender who will help shut down the opposition.
2013 Newcomers
Miss All-America
Claire Petersen, the America East Player of the Year and SBU's first-ever women's lacrosse All-American in 2012, was named to ILWomen.com's preseason All-American third team.
Oh Captain, My Captain
Demmianne Cook, Janine Hillier, Claire Petersen, Jessica Romano and Melissa Rotante have been selected as captains for the 2013 season. Cook, Hillier, Petersen and Rotante are all seniors, while Romano is a junior.
All He Does is Win
After turning a four-win team into a nationally ranked contender in his first season at the helm, Joe Spallina became the second SBU women's lacrosse head coach to pick up America East Coach of the Year honors. Under Spallina, the Seawolves completed the biggest turnaround in the NCAA and defeated a nationally ranked opponent for the first time in program history when they downed No. 20/17 Johns Hopkins on March 3.
Spallina added to his trophy case at the end of the summer when he was selected as Major League Lacrosse's Brine Coach of the Year for his work with the Long Island Lizards, who have since changed their name to the New York Lizards.
He came to Stony Brook after a successful run as head coach at Adelphi, a Division II institution, where he produced a dominant 73-2 mark and an NCAA-record three consecutive national crowns. During his final season, the Panthers were ranked No. 1 in the IWLCA poll and went 20-0 en route to a national title.
Up Next
Stony Brook hits the road again for a matchup with Marist Wednesday, March 13 at 4 p.m. before opening a two-game homestand with a clash with No. 1/1 Maryland March 17 at 1 p.m. at LaValle Stadium.

Video, footage, and webisodes of Audi interest.
The incredible feats of physical and mechanical endurance behind Audis decade-long dominance of the world-famous Le Mans 24-hour race have been brought vividly to life in a spectacular 3D film narrated by British racer Allan McNish.
Part of a new multi-million-pound campaign created for Audi UK by advertising agency BBH, the two and half minute film will be shown in traditional 2D and 3D formats, the latter marking a first for the Audi brand in the UK. It is intriguingly
It pays to know what you're doing behind the wheel. And though we all like to think we do, you never really know until you're put to the test. Case in point is the Portuguese driver of an Audi A4 in the video below. On a fast highway sweeper and just after passing a car, the driver rather masterfully counter
This past weekend the 2011 DTM series was officially kicked off with the traditional demonstration and celebration in downtown Wiesbaden. Each year the series closes off the streets of its home town and invites tens of thousands of fans to take part.
The event includes a little bit of everything, from a concert (Natasha Beddingfield played this year) to demonstration
Just a few minutes ago we published a feature about the Querkraftfrei Audi A5 prototype. German car magazine Autobild recently had a chance to drive and test the car and have published a webisode on the car and its technology over on YouTube. Watch it and you'll see how the car works, including the net effect on liquid (orange juice) in a glass held in the cupholder. Thank-you
Since last week when we attended the R18 test at Sebring Raceway following the running of the 12 Hours, we've been doing our best to push out as much content as possible. While we're not quite done (expect a written report and more photos), we've now uploaded a 500 pic photo gallery , some B-Roll footage of the car on track and some interview clips with
While on the ground at last week's R18 Test in Sebring Fourtitude had a chance to sit down with Wolfgang Ullrich, Ullrich Baretzky and Howden Haynes of Audi Sport to chat about the new car. On hand at the interview was Guerilla Video shooting for Audi of America who's shared their footage with us as we produce some of our own footage.
Last week we posted an initial link to a 500+ photo gallery shot during Audi Sport's recent R18 test in Sebring. . Fourtitude was on hand along with a very few other UK and French journalists to witness the test and get capture the car as much as we could via photography and video. We were like kids in a candy shop.
While on scene we worked
We've just stumbled across one of Audi's latest A6 commercials from Europe posted over on YouTube. Called "Manipulation", the spot's creators likened aluminum alloy to clay and through computer animation this looks like an easy task. Watch below.
Last week we published a story about a lightweight 2.5T-powered A5 coupe that was a drivetrain mule for the Audi quattro Concept. Dubbed "The Beast" by its quattro GmbH creators, we'd had a chance to drive the car and report back on the experience in a 2-part series.
Though we devoted plenty of ink (err... pixels) to "The Beast", that car
I got an email a few weeks ago from a source at Audi looking for footage of an Audi, preferably an R8, in the snow. The only thing like that I could think of was the the video review Ezra Dyer had done about the R8 V10 for the New York times. Turns out Audi had already zeroed in on

Deepak Mohoni, Director, trendwatchindia.com in an interview with ET Now talks about IT stocks.
One quick word from you on the large cap IT. Can they do further?
It does seem that way. They started off the rally for the market. The first few gains the Sensex Nifty made were coming from Infosys and TCS. So all these 3 stocks Infosys, Wipro, TCS, they are in pretty decent uptrends moving at a stronger pace than they usually do. HCL Tech is not far behind. Even many of the midcap ITs are doing quite well. So this rally has got IT at the forefront. Not just the big caps but also the midcaps.

The Philadelphia 76ers are currently in a major slide and need to make several adjustments in order to get back on the right track for the season. Clearly, the team has suffered major injuries, but that should not be an excuse to give up on this season.
These five adjustments could launch the Sixers into the playoff hunt and excite the fan base once again. The Sixers need to wake up their largely dormant fans, and a great way to do that is to field a highly competitive team.
Both coach Doug Collins and general manager Tony DiLeo need to improve this team in order for it to reach its full potential.
Here are five changes the 76ers should make to do just that.

About 4Children
4Children is the national children and families' charity which develops, influences and shapes national policy on all aspects of children, young people and families lives and works with a wide range of partners to deliver real support for children and families in their community. It is one of the largest not for profit Children's Centre providers in the country and currently runs 40 Children's Centres and 22 Day Nurseries.

- Our specialist teams work to support vulnerable families experiencing drug or alcohol addiction, domestic violence and post-natal depression.
- Our youth workers provide positive and engaging activities in what can be tough circumstances.
The Family Commission
The Family Commission consulted with 10,000 families across the country over 18 months in an attempt to understand the support needs of families in modern Britain. The consultation involved several national surveys; focus groups; visits to regions across the country to uncover best practice initiatives and projects as well as meetings / seminars with experts in family policy. Importantly, the Commission prioritised the input of real families throughout the country and invited them to help devise the solutions and recommendations contained within the report.
The Family Commission was chaired by consumer and children's champion, Esther Rantzen CBE, founder of ChildLine.
As part of its Family Commission, 4Children released a new blueprint calling for an overhaul in every aspect of our lives to apply a Family Test to every decision that is made - only then can the government give family life practical support.
Give Me Strength
Give Me Strength is a national campaign, run by 4Children, which demands more help for families to avert crisis. www.givemestrength.org.uk
4Children's research for the campaign showed 91% people were prepared to provide practical or financial help and support to families struggling to cope.
With estimates showing that central and local government spend ten times more on the most disruptive and chaotic families than on the average family, 70% or people felt this was wrong and that more should be spent preventing problems and keeping families together.

Must Try Moves for FIRM, Flat Abs
By The FIRM Master Instructor Tina Smalley
For years, men and women have been searching for that ideal abdominal training routine that will give them a perfect six-pack. It's relatively easy for me to sculpt my upper and lower body, but when it comes to really toning up my middle, it takes a little more than just crunches three times a week. It takes dedication and hard work!
If you have been working out for a while, chances are you already have a good bit of ab strength. Now it's just a matter of getting rid of that stubborn layer of fat covering them up. Diet is so important. It takes a lot of will power to grab an apple instead of a Krispy Kreme doughnut (yum!). But stick with it, and find those small milestones to keep you going.
Check out these basic core exercises in the video above that are easy to do and require no equipment. Each one will target a different part of your midsection. I want you to focus on the quality of each exercise and the point of peak contraction. Hold the peak contraction for a full one to two seconds and don't forget to breathe. Try these exercises three times a week.
The FIRM Master Instructor Team blog is shared courtesy of The FIRM Believers Club, an online community that helps you reach your fitness goals. With maximum-efficiency home workouts, support and motivation from The FIRM Master Instructors, daily tips, personalized workout rotation calendars, and access to other members through discussion boards, The FIRM Believers Club provides all the tools you need to get in the shape you want.

Katie Beasley">
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, June 24, 2011
EVANS, Ga. -- It's a story that's getting national attention and inciting a range of emotions. The Homes for Our Troops organization is trying to build a home for a wounded warrior but has hit a construction roadblock with the Knob Hill Property Owners Association.
Construction on Sergeant First Class Sean Gittens home was supposed to start at 8:30 a.m. Friday. Now the lot where the home was supposed to be built has still nothing more than dirt and grass. But that could soon change.
Leaders of the homeowners association say they are waiting for some documents before they sign-off on plans for the home. This, after they told News 12 Thursday the home was too small, and that's why it wasn't approved.
Homes for Our Troops is planning to build a house for this family no matter what. Whether it's in the Knob Hill neighborhood is still up in the air.
There were no bulldozers or hammers, all you could hear were the sounds of chirping birds. However, progress is in the air as the Knob Hill homeowners association begins singing a different tune.
Rick Trump serves as the President of the HOA.
"We look forward to having this resolved early next week at the very latest," Trump said.
Homes for Our Troops is getting some paperwork that the group has been waiting for which has necessary details, including landscaping and other architectural details," Trump said.
Construction on the home for disabled Veteran Sgt. First Class Sean Gittens and his family was set to start Friday. Volunteers that came ready to build were turned away from the site. Neighborhood representatives blocked construction saying plans have not been approved.
Knob Hill says once they get what they need, they are willing to move forward with the home.
"The board of directors, members of this neighborhood are going to roll up our sleeves and we're going to get to work in here with the volunteers when that time comes," Trump said.
Both Sgt. Gitten's family and Homes for our Troops aren't as enthusiastic.
"Are you optimistic at this point that the project will move forward in Knob Hill?" asked reporter Katie Beasley.
"Um .... not yet," answered Homes for Our Troops President John Gonsalves.
Sgt. Gittens wife, Sharon, is also having mixed emotions. She's not sure she feels at home in the neighborhood anymore.
"My family is what's important, my husband is what's important, and I want to make sure we're living somewhere that's going to welcome us," Sharon Gittens said.
Homes for Our Troops President John Gonsalves is standing by her.
"She's just unsure right now. I don't want her to feel like she's under any pressure to make the decision before she's ready," he said. "We build these homes for life. These are not starter homes. I just want to make sure shes 100 percent sure and certain with any decision that she makes."
Homes for Our Troops is working on a landscaping plan at the request of the association, but does not have guidelines to draw from. So the organization is worried they're going to be arguing over changes once again.
At first, it appeared at least one concern was over square footage and property values. Trump said it was never about the size of the house. That is not what the association's attorney told News 12 Thursday. Apparently now, it is just about getting these last pending documents.
The Board of Directors of Knob Hill wishes to announce that plans for the home being constructed for SFC Sean Gittens and his family are moving forward. The board has been in communication with Homes For Our Troops, providing details of documents and plans we had not received previously. At this point they have expressed they are willing to adapt their house plans to meet the required architectural specifications for Knob Hill Subdivision and if the plans are approved they may move forward with SFC Gittens' home.
This matter has never been about SFC Gittens or Homes For Our Troops, it was about maintaining a consistent message and process for new construction in Knob Hill. Knob Hill covenants require anyone proposing a construction project, new construction, remodel or addition, to submit detailed plans which include a drawing, irrigation plans, a complete materials list and landscaping details. While some of these items have been received, there was no landscaping plan and the two-page drawing received had conflicting images of the home. Details concerning these items have again been requested of Homes For Our Troops and we anticipate receiving these in the next 24-48 hours. Once all documents have been received we will be able to move forward to a conclusion satisfactory to all parties concerned.
For clarification, the Board of Directors is not now and has never asked Homes for Troops to build a 3400 square foot home. Previously, our board requested an additional room be added upstairs in an effort to have this home be of comparable size to other homes in the Estate section. Howevrer, this was prior to learning the extent of SFC Gittens' injuries and requirements that the entire house be accessible to SFC Gittens.
We appreciate the patience of everyone involved in this process. We look forward to having Homes For Our Troops build a home in Knob Hill for SFC Sean Gittens and his family. We are already honored to have such a heroic and dedicated veteran living in our neighborhood. Numerous other veterans living in Knob Hill and serving on our Board of Directors are happy to include the Gittens family as part of our community.
Thank you!
Board of Directors
Knob Hill Neighborhood, Evans, GA
