Mahathir & The Recipe for Disaster
In 2004, Abdullah won an unprecedented 91% parliamentary majority. Then, Mahathir had called for a stronger opposition, claiming that a government with an absolute majority will become corrupt. He was a proponent of a stronger opposition presence in parliament to play an effective check-and-balance role.
Now that his protege, Najib (with whom Mahathir got touchy-feely and kissy), has taken over the mantle of leadership the ex-strongman is calling for a chilly return of two-thirds majority.
Malaysia does not need a strong government which "could implement radical and unorthodox measures to recover because the government had two-thirds majority in Parliament to support its policies." Mahathir had enjoyed two-thirds majority throughout his rule but it did not inspire good and responsible policies.
Mahathir's privatisation, industrialisation and socio-economic programmes had created more bottlenecks, abuses, wastage and complacency than positive results. From highways, IPPs, and others, Malaysians are made to pay for the lopsided contracts signed by the government.
What Malaysia need is a responsible, transparent and efficient government. A government, which is entrusted by the people to govern, must respect the rights and needs of the people. We want a government which is capable of respecting and embracing the true democratic process, not to abuse it for its own preservation. The strong government during the Mahathir's era had destroyed our democratic fabric. ISA was used against mostly civilians and political opponents.
We need a government without the interference of Mahathir. Those who are trying to resurrect his influence and era are working against the strengthening of our democracy.

Why everyone including you are so afraid of Dr M. He too entitle of his opinion just as you and me. Najib must show that he is capable to run his own policies with his vision. Najib will know what to do if he would like to stay in power. If you don't like Najib, we can just vote him out. No need to discredit him through Dr M.

Discrediting Najib through Mahathir? Najib is facing his own credibility crisis with or without Mahathir's interference.
However, the works of spin doctors to justify the unholy alliance of the two cannot be encouraged or allowed to happen.

who is talking about being 'afraid' of mahathir. we are talking about recovering from his dictatorship.
There are just too many stupid Chinese in Beijing who do not know what was happening in malaysia during Mahatir's Primership.
This hate Chinese-man goes around and talks in a different tune as he sees fits but when he turns his back he is a differnt person again.
He is a drug pusher asking the public not to take drugs.
Why invited him in the first place? Is here no other person to talk? Are the Chinese so hard up with speakers?
Just go to Malaysia Today you can uncover all the evils he had done to the country and to his own Indians.
Does the PM really need his advice? Isn't he the man who's responsible in dragging the country into shit losing billions and causing racial mistrust? Didn't he rather give the country to Indonesia than see the Chinese prosper? Bomb Singapore with Russian jets or let the water go to waste rather than feed Singapore? Cooked up lies to nail Anwar and now still roam free......
Why PM has to listen to him? Cannot make decision on his own???
I wonder?
Malaysia and Najib in particular will suffer if he doesn't stop that senile old man from further damaging the nation.
Either that Mahathir to be told off now or the senile old man still think that in Malaysia he is the smartest of all the people.
The pariah Mahathir's suggestion that there is a need of an opposition after AAB
got 91% of the votes.
That was because he never got close to that kind of votes from the people himself. In fact on many occasions without the support of the non Malay BN partners'he would got kicked out long ago and even may have kicked back to Kerala to become the pariah Indian that he is.
Who the hell he thinks he is ?
Does he not realise that he is the most hated man in Malaysia pariah Indian from Kerala ?
Peking knows what this mamak is up to. Neither has Peking forgotten about his "malay dilemma".
Mahathir's version of strong government is putting Anwar and other opposition leaders under ISA for flimsy reasons, Make sure all media is one sided, create a fear among intelligentia, do not give place for different views to flourish. Make sure all bloggers who are against government to be severely punished. Promote Ketuanan Melayu and make sure race based politics benefits a small group of UMNOputra's. Very Clear vision and recipe for 21st century.Do they say that Histroy repeats itself. How true to a dictator.

No one is afraid of Mahatir, but we should because Mahatir over the past 51 years had so perverted the social fabric of Malaysia that today, we have 3 malaysia, one for the Malays, one for the Indians and the third for the Chinese; so why do we say with any conviction that Mahatir had contributed positively to Malaysia's development ?
Instead of 28 million Malaysians pulling our load one direction, we are split into 3 forces pulling Malaysia in 3 different directions. Is Malaysia ever competitive ? I don't think so. China achieved elevation from the bottom half of world rankings in the 1960s to 1970s to become the world's number 2 just behind the USA today, a mere 35 years from the opening up of China ushered in the year of Nixon's visit to China. Why has Malaysia with a population of a mere 28 millions souls just cannot get it right for the last 51 years ? IT IS BECAUSE MALAYSIA IS PULLING WITH THE HORSE POWER OF JUST 1/3 OUR POTENTIAL.
Malaysia is not going anywhere soon, unless there is a change of government and it is past the right time to elect a PAKATAN RAKYAT government or Malaysia will lag behind Vietnam (if not we already have today), Thailand (same) and Indonesai (soon to be).
credibility crisis my bottom. all i know those accusations are endless. even the accusers cannot tell for sure whether those accusations are true or not.
oh wait. tian chua 'proved' once. thanks to paintbrush or whatever it is called.
what najib got now, is perception crisis. and again thanks to the accusers, their half cooked accusations painted najib grey. i wouldnt say paint him black because of the uncertainty, but still grey is worse than white (good perception)
going back to mahathir. u said about his 'idea' of strong economy is a 2/3 majority in parliament. yes, i do agree on that. strong politics guarantee strong leadership. what happened in 2004 is almost a wipe out of opposition.
of course a total opposition wipe out is very bad. even mahathir agrees on that.
u can campaign for a 2/3 majority for barisan, then the rest u can have opposition. how? is that fair?
Mahathir inconsistent? Recipe for disaster?
There have been many, many times during the dark Mahathir years when similar sentiments have been expressed by many.
Indeed, if the statements made over the years are compiled an analysed, it has been said a case can be made that to condemn Mahathir with his own words.
It would do the large numbers of young Malaysians who idolise TUN Mahathir now to look at his track record and see him for what he truly is.
He has not changed from the time when he used to condemn the Chinese as Communists who are not good for Malaysia to then turning around and calling the Chinese hard-working saviours of the nation.
Nothing new. He is the epitomy of "Melayu mudah lupa".
Hi Khoo,
As much as I fancy visiting your blog but I've to admit what you described about TUN MAHATHIR is TERRIBLY WRONG. Despite criticisms labelling TUN MAHATHIR as a dictator, tyrant, senile & bla, bla, bla, we should give TUN the utmost RESPECT.
He's one of those FEW CAPABLE LEADERS who had the ability & intelligence to implement CRAZY but VIABLE POLICIES. He single handedly guided Malaysia OUT OF SEVERAL ECONOMIC CRISIS during his tenure as PM. He also avoided borrowing from IMF of which ecomomic experts said it was a SUICIDAL MOVE but TUN proved otherwise.
For all his brilliant contributions, I reckon we ought to give TUN MAHATHIR credit when credit is due. Although many people do say he is this & that but these are completely irrelevant.
Afterall to be a GOOD LEADER, there bound to be people who LOVE & HATE you. However as for me, I only look at RESULTS & results showed me TUN MAHATHIR is WORTHY of being respected as the BEST PM in MALAYSIA till date.
Why are there so many people who fear TUN MAHATHIR (including Anwar Ibrahim, Kit Siang, Karpal)??? It's becos' people know how STRONG, CAPABLE & INTELLIGENCE this gifted man is.
P.S.- Instead of condemning TUN, I reckon we should give him a BREAK (let alone compliments). What say you, Khoo???
This is vintage Mahatirism, he speaks
what the audience want to hear. The end justify the means.
Karma chameleon, thats what TDM is! All these ranting is not going to be good for him as well as country. He shud learn to sit on the rocking chair and look at the sky.
What Tokz said can only be concluded that he is either blind or a total a**e licker. Without wastages and all the bullshit governance, m'sia wouldn't have got into such economic crisis.
Maybe perhaps we should see from where Tokz got his point of view. If we were to have a low standard, a standard that is second to zits, then yes, TDM is the best PM in M'sia. Or maybe among the best president of a political party in his hey day, second only to Semi-Value.
A good indicator is our foreign exchange. Before this Mahafiraun, RM1=S$1. After that you see the slide. Now, RM2.4=S$1. Malaysian are losing because this Mahafiraun and cronies have sucked us dry. Wake up Malaysians! Storm the Bastille.
Mahathir, your day are numbered.The grave is waving at you. My advice, stop fooling people around. Go home and read the holy book 'Koran'. Do a lot of late night prayers which you've missed and neglected.
Mahathir is influential and relied upon by certain individuals in UMNO who feel the loss of contracts and other handouts because of the loss of the five states.
He will be quickly ignored if Najib can win back these states and restore the goodtimes to these greedy robbers and thieves.
In the meantime the vicious old man will work at undermining his perceived enemies and strenghtening his children positions in the party.
I am curious if the results you use to measure Mahathir's success are the same as what is described in para 5 of the KKP's post?
Also to demystify some of the myths about Dr M:-
1) He was forced to go his own way in 1998 because he had to bailout the cronies including his own son (Tongkah,Pantai etc.). IMF were wrong with their suggestions but Dr M's actions were a means to an end which did not necessarily mean Malaysia's economic welfare.
2) Malaysia's growth in the early-mid 1990s under Dr M is no different from what was experienced by our neighbours down south and up north. Malaysia is now experiencing slowing growth because the economy has hit its limit up. Only way for Malaysia to experience 8%+ growth and show it is no one trick pony is for there to be a structural change for the better in the economy. I won't be holding my breath to see that happen under BN.
Dear tokz,
have you ever ask Mahathir to give AAB a break?
You must be one of Mahathir's many cronies who have benefited financially from this multi-headed serpent.
So now you are hoping that your God-Father will be back in his old days awarding lopsided government contracts to his lapdogs like yourself.
TOKZ, you are despicable, selfish and greedy asshole.
It is time that all responsible country loving Malaysia must conduct some serious by unbiased political scientists, sociologists and social economists from local and foreign universities [United Nation experts are welcomed to] to evaluate the contributions and destructive acts done by our Tun Mahathir for his era in politic from his early days to his 20 years as our Prime Minister.
Areas of studies and research:
1. Send him for a D.N.A. test to determine if he is a Malay for background for this study.
2. List out his contributions in economy, social, and spiritual aspect to the rakyat country.
3. List out his destructive acts done to our economy, social [especially on race relation], and spiritual aspect to the rakyat country.
4. Did robbed away our Malay royal rulers' power through a parliamentary sitting?
5. Is his in "divide and rule" politic a Jewish version of political game?
6. Conduct royal commission to investigate if he is cleanest and least corrupted leader of the world.
7. Apply to the Court if can conduct a search of his and family assets determining how much he is worth?
8. Have a parliamentary debate if the government must send him to International Court of Justice to try him if the report is completed and the revealing he had done much harm to the country.
9. If the report reveal his contribution is godly, the Parliament and Cabinet must compensate him a RM1 billion or more.
In order to fund the study let us start a fund, each Malaysian must contribute RM2 each.
Salim W. F.
Rent seeking evolved into a fine art under his 22 years rule and that is Mahathir's greatest legacy.
That our ringgit declined from almost parity to the RM2.40 : S$ 1.00 during that period speaks for itself.
Most of you have simply lost it. As I see it, what ever suit your taste is good otherwise they are arse lickers, bastards, cronies and the like.
As a leader, you're bound to make mistakes. This is true for every leaders in the world. As leader in out own right, we do make mistakes.
Policies are often made based on the existing requirements and current information. To say that privatisation is bad now after it has contributed towards the economic growth in the 90s is easy.
As an economic graduate you should know about the theory of limited resouces and unlimited wants. So what is really wrong with privatisation anyway? Didn't everyone from every races in Malaysia benefits.
For those who are taking post shots at Tun Mahathir for the state of the economy are those who simply hate Mahathir.
After 22 years there must be some good that Mahathir has done for the economy and country, if not there is something really wrong somewhere...
One of the commentator's comment "that the Chinese must be stupid to invite Dr. M to speak" do not understand the Chinese mind. They needed a clown to cheer them up in this bad economical times and what better clown can you get by inviting DM? And what better jokes can you get when he talk about how great bolehland was under his watch. If you see Mickey mouse and it is not Disney land it must be Dr. M in Bolehland. It split my sides just hearing his contradictions and mindless rambling.
Mahathir was an ultra-nationalist and I believe he still is. Those who have read the Singapore Story by Lee Kuan Yew would know how Mahathir despised Chinese dominance in Singapore. And in 1990 when PBS left BN, Mahathir evoked religious hatred when he claimed that Pairin wants to start a TV station to propagate Christianity. Mahathir destroyed Muslim-Christian unity in Sabah!

victor purcell wrote one paragraph on the positive attributes of the chinese and THREE paragraphs on the negatives. the chinese chee kee koo chee kee throughout history has brought about the chinese downfall in every country they move into.that is why ccp and sg rule the chinese with a iron whip and a bullet into the neck. aab and his pkr is no better. this aab talks too much, painting his moves for the bn to jump ahead of him/pkr.the non-bn malays SAW some hope in aab. now they are disillused.

Mahathir is not a clever or wise person. Racist people may seem clever but the best they can do is 80%. Which for an average guy seems pretty good. But these people rather not admit they cannot compete with the people at 90% to 100% level. Which is why he hates Lee Kwan Yew because not only is he chinese he is very successful. Malaysians of all races need to learn to live with each other peacefully all over again. He sooner the guy is gone, the better the chance of us achieving that. We should also look out for the younger generation ultras and racist bigots like Hishamuddin etc. He can stick his kris up his @ss.

Cirque Eloize had come to Penn State twice. And their shows - "Rain" and "iD" - had been successes on both occasions.
So when the opportunity came for Penn State's Center for the Performing Arts to help sponsor a Cirque Eloize show, it was a pretty easy decision for CPA director George Trudeau.
"In January of 2012, I was in New York at a conference and it included the opportunity to hear pitches from artists and companies who wanted support for their work," Trudeau said. "Cirque Eloize was pitching this show, which then didn't have a name. With our history with the company ... it seemed like a natural fit."

With the CPA's support among a series of co-commissioners, the minds behind Cirque Eloize created "Cirkopolis," which will visit Penn State's Eisenhower Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 27.
Penn State's Center for the Performing Arts was the only American commissioner of the work. The other commissioners are the Canada Council for the Arts, Place des Arts in Quebec, Conseil des Arts de Montreal and Les Productione Neuvart.
To help off-set the cost of the commissioning, the CPA offered patrons a chance to help sponsor the show with a $250 donation. According to Trudeau, those donations helped pay for about half of the commission cost.
Fact Box
If you go
What: "Cirkopolis," presented by Cirque Eloize
When: 7:30 p.m. Sept. 27
Where: Eisenhower Auditorium, Penn State University Park campus
Tickets: $42 for adults, $15 for University Park students and $24 for those age 18 and younger
The CPA's involvement gave Trudeau the chance to see "Cirkopolis" in a special preview performance.
"I had the opportunity last summer to go up to Montreal and see the first performance," he said. "The work was still a little bit in construction and the basics were there. It was wonderful ... it, of course, made me even more excited."
Excitement is what it's all about, according to Jeannot Painchaud, artistic director, co-director and co-founder of Cirque Eloize. He recently spoke to the Mirror in a phone interview from the group's home base in Montreal.
"We're really the first contemporary circus on stage across America," he said proudly in a thick French Canadian accent.
Cirque Eloize (pronounced "cirk EL-waz") was formed in 1993 by Painchaud and co-founders Daniel Cyr and Julie Hamelin and has gone on to perform in more than 40 countries with their nine original shows. "Cirkopolis" is the ninth original creation of Cirque Eloize and began touring in 2012. The show is co-directed by Painchaud and choreographer Dave St-Pierre.
Cirque Eloize describes the "Cirkopolis" show as being set, "in the heart of a stern and imposing city in appearance, giant gears and dark portals [symbolizing] a mechanism that crushes individuality."
The show features circus acts of all kinds, mixed with acrobatics and dance. Some of the classic circus acts include:
* Chinese pole
* juggling
* banquine (a group of performers throwing an aerialist in the air again and again, using their arms as a platform)
* German wheel
* Cyr wheel (a large metal hoop which the acrobat rolls around in from the inside. Named after Cirque Eloize co-founder Daniel Cyr)
* contortionists
* teeterboard
"The circus is really, really there. It's a circus show, but with a strong dance part," Painchaud said. "We have classic circus acts, but all reinterpreted. Pretty much, they're included in the dance and the choreography."
Though "Cirkopolis" follows a main character - a clown - through a dark landscape, Painchaud wants it clear that the show isn't a downer.
"It's not a dark show, at all. It's a fun show," he said. "It's a show where you laugh a lot while following the acrobatics and dancing. ... It was the first time also where I really wanted to have a main character in this show. You follow the journey of this character."
Painchaud said the show features 12 performers who work nearly non-stop during the piece.
"They're pretty much, for all the show, on stage. All of them," he said. "To be precise, about an hour and 25 minutes they're there all the time."
Painchaud said "Cirkopolis" is one of two Cirque Eloize shows currently touring. A troupe performing "iD," which premiered in 2009, just returned from Dubai.
With a worldwide touring schedule, Penn State's Center for the Performing Arts feels honored to welcome the show.
"They were a huge success the last time," said Laura Sullivan, director of marketing for the CPA. "People loved the performance and their energy on stage. It was just a wonderful family show."

Dallas Fed: The European crisis is the greatest global risk to U.S. economic growth and exports
Global economic activity has slumped in recent months and could continue in the near term, leading to weak demand for U.S. exports, according to a new report by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
Sagging economic conditions in Europe — especially the potential default of Greece and a weak banking system in Spain — are the biggest global risk to the U.S. economy, according to the report written by Dallas Fed research assistant Valerie Grossman.
The Euro area entered its second recession in four years as gross domestic product growth fell in the second and third quarters. And Greece is expected to enter its sixth year of recession despite a new financing agreement reached last month, the report said.
Other risks include the resignation of Italy's prime minister Mario Monti and the Bundesbank's announcement that Germany may face a recession in 2013.

OLD FORT - On paper it was the same two teams that met Jan. 3 at Calvert, but this time around, it didn't seem like the same Old Fort team.
Twenty-six days ago when Calvert hosted the Stockaders, Calvert posted the game's first 14 points, built a 29-point halftime lead and cruised to a 34-point victory.
Though the final result turned out to be similar as Calvert left town a 60-33 victory, Old Fort made sure it wouldn't be so easy this time around as the two Midland Athletic League schools met in a non-league contest.
Article Photos
"We've been working really hard, the girls have been improving," Old Fort coach Jennifer Miller said. "They're young and I think some of the nerves and the inexperience is gone now. They're a lot of games in, so they can come out and play that first quarter instead of feeling it out so much."
This time it was Old Fort taking the early lead off baskets from Michaela Davidson and Shelby Bilger, while the defense held Calvert off the board until the 4:47 mark of the first quarter when Kate Brickner banked in a 3-pointer. Two minutes later she knocked in another to finally put Calvert ahead.
Calvert (13-5) was playing for the second straight night after beating Monclova Christian by 50 on Monday. Coach Tim Ritzler said he was unsure how his team would respond to playing back-to-back games.

|Turnovers: Calvert 18; Old Fort 28
"It was the first time all year we played a back-to-back like that, so I was interested to see how we'd come out and respond. It was a little slow start, we had a couple turnovers early that we need to clean up. Credit to Old Fort, they were very aggressive from the beginning defensively and that caused some of our turnovers. They're a much improved team. But we just stuck with what we wanted to do and we made enough plays ... the girls made the plays when they needed to."
A lot of those plays came on the defensive end.
Calvert forced Old Fort (1-17) into 10 turnovers in the first quarter and 18 in the first half. A good number of those turned into Calvert baskets.
"That's one of the ways we've been able to score this year," Ritzler said. "We've been a team that's been able to force a lot of turnovers and get ourselves as many easy baskets as possible, and tonight was no different. We did a good job on the front end of our press creating turnovers. And then on a big floor like this I thought our girls did a really good job of getting out and running and getting as many easy baskets as possible."
For Calvert, it was a good thing the defense forced turnovers, because once Old Fort got into a half-court set, it did a good job converting. The Stockaders shot 40 percent on the night (14 for 35), a vast improvement over the 17 percent they shot the first time against Calvert.
"We've really been focusing on catching ready-to-shoot [passes]," Miller said. "Before, we really struggled to catch ready-to-shoot, so that's one thing we've been emphasizing. You got to be ready to shoot when you catch it so you can get that shot off. If you take you long to set your feet, the defense will be right up on you."
Those who had good nights on the offense included Sammy Miller, who led the Stockaders with nine points, and Sara Bell and Mackenzie Gillett, who each scored six.
Ritzler pointed out Old Fort's improvements on the defensive end. Where the Senecas had 43 points by halftime of the first meeting, they didn't hit that total till the fourth quarter Tuesday.
"I thought Old Fort did a great job in their zone of taking away everything inside," he said. "Every time we tried to go inside to our post players, they had three or four girls collapsing around. Our posts did a great job of continuing to work the ball back outside to our open shooters."
"We flip-flopped our zone around," Miller said. "We knew they had really good guards so we just tried to put the pressure on the guards a little more, keep the lane closed instead of open. Keep Brickner from being able to drive in there."
Brickner, though, was able to post a game-high 16 points, leading a balanced Seneca attack. Nicole Bickley added 11 and Megan Funkhouser chipped in nine. Eleven Senecas got in the scoring column. Ritzler said that's key to moving forward to build depth on his team.
"I think its very important," he said. "We feel like we got a pretty deep team. We got a lot of freshmen that dress, that are getting some time. We want to get them as much experience as possible, cause you never know when you're one injury or one person getting in foul trouble away from having to dig deep in the bench. We feel like if we have to do that, now we're completely capable of going to our bench without losing a whole lot."

Sonic Colours blast his way through theme related planets, cause mayhem and create new paths to reach your objective, grasp the Wisp power up's along the way, create sonic boost by doing combo's, all action packed for the DS.
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo DS
Wisps, tiny aliens, feature in this game, and by capturing and saving them Sonic gets new powers. These powers give him the ability to transform different weapons and transports (e.g. rocket). The players can also transform and explore the Sonic World in various forms, and by means of these transformations, players can repeat playing each Zone trying to open up other new scenarios.
The zones have interesting and varied features such as theme parks with roller coasters, mountains, Japanese buildings etc. The boss attacks need some patience, skill and timing to ward of or win, with smart use of Zone's specific Wisp helping you to avoid and block these attacks. Aside from the main mission, there are also side challenges and special missions by way of distraction.
Sonic multiplayer is much more interesting and is basically involves two players competing against each other to reach higher levels the fastest. It's not too difficult, and can be played both over wifi or locally. Between all the boss battles and Wisp-gathering, there are also many dialogues taking place between Sonic and his sidekick, Big the Cat. These dialogues act as a prelude to a mission and can be essential for obtaining useful information. There is also a map which shows connections from each zone to other zones. It's an important guide to knowing and keeping track of where you are and where you are heading.
The most appealing part of the game, as with all Sonics, is its unfaltering pace. There are no long breaks and every zone gives a continuous unbroken gameplay, and the 3D boss finale is a surreal and visually stunning experience. Packed with replayable stages, missions and a multiplayer feature, this game can be played time and time again without loss of interest or boredom.

Sleep's Surprising Effects on Hunger
Getting too little sleep often makes people feel hungrier than normal, leading to overeating and weight gain. A study in the journal Sleep found a biological reason for this that surprised the researchers.
Lack of sleep triggers hormonal changes, but the hormones affected are different for men and women, the study found. The researchers said they expected sleep deprivation to affect glucose or insulin levels in both sexes.
Thirty normal-weight men and women in their mid-30s participated in two inpatient stays at an obesity research center in New York City. Each stay was six days long and involved five overnight sleeps.
Participants slept four hours a night during one stay and seven hours a night in the other, with a three-week break in between. Daytime napping wasn't allowed. During both stays, subjects ate a calorie-controlled diet for the first four days and had unlimited access to food on the fifth and sixth days. Blood samples were analyzed daily for seven hormones that influence appetite and food intake: glucose, insulin, leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, total glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY3-36.
Abbreviated sleep had no effect in either sex on glucose, insulin, leptin, adiponectin and peptide YY3-36, compared with hormone measures after normal sleep, results showed. But levels of ghrelin, which stimulates hunger, were elevated only in the men after the short periods of sleep.
Meanwhile, levels of GLP-1, an appetite-suppressing hormone, were lower in women after the short periods of sleep but were unchanged in men. All participants consumed about 300 more calories on the fifth day after shortened sleep than after long sleep. The study suggests that lack of sleep may result in enhanced appetite in men. But in women, sleeping too little results in feeling less full.
Caveat: The stress hormone cortisol wasn't measured and may have been affected by reduced sleep, researchers said. Participants lost about two pounds during the study, which surprised researchers and may have affected hormone levels, they said. It isn't known if similar hormone changes would occur in overweight people.

Umbilical benefits: A 45-second delay in cutting the umbilical cord following a preterm birth significantly improved body temperature, blood oxygen and other indicators of health in newborns compared with clamping the cord immediately after birth, according to a report in Advances in Neonatal Care.
Most U.S. hospitals cut or clamp the umbilical cord seconds after a birth, but research shows waiting up to a minute or more before clamping gives newborns a rich infusion of stem cells and increases blood volume.
The study compared early and delayed clamping in 349 premature infants born at a northern Alberta, Canada, hospital from 2008 to 2009. The umbilical cord was cut 45 seconds after delivery in 236 births and immediately after delivery in 113 births, which served as a control group. On average, the infants were born at 29 weeks gestation and weighed 3.3 pounds.
Infants in the delayed-clamping group had significantly higher hemoglobin levels than control babies and they required fewer hospital admissions for low-body temperature: 19.5% compared with 31%. Necrotizing enterocolitis, an intestinal condition related to prematurity, occurred in 1.3% of the delayed-clamping group and 5.4% of controls. Blood-pressure support was required in 8.1% and 12.4% of the delayed-clamping and control groups, respectively.
While the study was in progress, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada published guidelines that recommended 60 seconds of delayed clamping in all preterm births. The World Health Organization supports delaying cord clamping, regardless of gestational age or fetal weight, until the umbilical cord is flat or approximately three minutes or more after birth. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said in November that the ideal time for cord clamping hasn't been established, a position endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Caveat: The delayed-clamping group had lower scores on the five-minute Apgar newborn-vitality test compared with controls, but the difference wasn't clinically significant, researchers said.

Flavonoids and flu: Two plant-based flavonoids—disease-fighting compounds found in many foods—significantly impaired the infectious activity of H5N1 avian-flu virus in laboratory experiments and may form the basis of future influenza treatments, a report in Antiviral Research says. H5N1 flu hasn't been reported in the U.S., but the virus has infected more than 600 people in other countries and appears to be resistant to traditional anti-viral treatments, researchers said.
Experiments in Germany tested 22 flavonoids on human lung cells infected with the H5N1 influenza A virus. Six of the 22 exhibited potent anti-viral properties and two—baicalein and biochanin A—were singled out for their performance. Baicalein is used in traditional Chinese medicine and biochanin A is found in peanuts, chickpeas and other legumes. In separate experiments, the two flavonoids were added to lung-cell cultures before, during and after infection with H5N1, and tested on H5N1-infected cells treated with zanamivir (brand name Relenza), an antiviral drug prescribed to flu patients.
Both baicalein and biochanin A interfered with critical steps in the virus's natural replication cycle, the study found. The flavonoids inhibited the secretion of various inflammatory cells called cytokines in H5N1-infected cells, but had no effect on noninfected cells or tumor necrosis factor, a key inflammatory protein. The effects were most pronounced after 48 hours, the study found. Baicalein and biochanin A also enhanced the anti-viral effects of zanamivir in cell cultures.
Although structurally similar, the flavonoids differed in their anti-influenza mechanisms, researchers said. More studies are needed to decipher the pharmacological actions of flavonoids, they said.
Caveat: Baicalein and biochanin A haven't been tested on animals or human subjects infected with H5N1.

Analgesic exercise: Patients who got out of bed and walked on the morning after knee-replacement surgery had significantly less knee pain after the walks than before the walks, according to a pilot study in Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica. The analgesic effects of exercise have been studied in various pain conditions, but fear of pain may limit patient exercise immediately after surgery, when pain is most acute, researchers said.
The subjects were 30 men and women who underwent knee arthroplasty at a Copenhagen hospital from 2009 to 2010. On the first post-operative morning, they walked a distance of 82 feet twice using a walking frame, with a 20-minute rest between walks. Pain assessments were taken at rest, with hips and knees flexed, before each walk, after walking 20 feet and 82 feet, and 5 and 20 minutes post-walk. Patients scored their pain from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst pain). Pressure probes applied near the surgical site tested pain threshold or pain awareness; pain tolerance—the point of unbearable pain—was measured with finger electrodes.
Pain was significantly reduced for all assessments at 5 and 20 minutes after the second walk compared with the first, results showed. Pain reduction on the second walk occurred after patients had walked 20 feet. Subjects' pain threshold, but not pain tolerance, was significantly increased post-walk compared with pre-walk. Exercise may trigger naturally occurring opioid and non-opioid compounds that affect the nervous and musculoskeletal systems, researchers said.
Caveat: Patients received pain medications before and after surgery that would have taken effect before the pain assessments and the two walks, researchers said. The study didn't include a control group.

Perceived stress: Feelings of being overloaded and stressed by the demands of daily living can increase a person's risk of developing heart disease, a meta-analysis in the American Journal of Cardiology suggests. The link between stress and poor heart health is well known, but most research has focused on hours of work and psychological factors.
Researchers at Columbia University pooled the results of six studies in five countries that examined the long-term effects of perceived stress in 118,696 men and women, who were in their mid-50s at the time. The studies, conducted from 1991 to 2006, tracked the heart health of participants over approximately 14 years. Two studies used validated scales of perceived stress, which evaluated the degree to which the subjects regarded life as unpredictable or uncontrollable, and four included questions about the frequency and nature of stressful experiences. All studies considered traditional cardiac risk factors, such as smoking and hypertension.
Subjects who perceived themselves as highly stressed had a 27% increased risk of angina or heart disease, heart-related hospitalization, and cardiac death than those who didn't report feeling stressed, the analysis showed. Researchers compared the increased risk to smoking an additional five cigarettes a day and significant increases in cholesterol and blood pressure. Chronic stress may increase activity in a feedback loop called the hypothalamic pituitary axis, which regulates many body processes, they said.
Caveat: Stress was self-reported by subjects. Most studies didn't adjust for depression and anxiety, which are associated with perceived stress and cardiovascular disease, researchers said.
Meta-Analysis of Perceived Stress and Its Association With Incident Coronary Heart Disease
Wedding weight: Nearly two-thirds of engaged men want to lose weight for their wedding day, especially if the ceremony is expected to be quasiformal with at least 150 guests, a study in the journal Appetite says. Weight loss, exercise, tanning, and teeth whitening are common pre-wedding practices among U.S. brides-to-be, but it isn't clear how prospective grooms manage their weight and shape.
Cornell University researchers surveyed 163 men ages 19 to 30 when they were six months away from their weddings in 2006. About half were college graduates. Self-reported height and weight indicated that 46% were overweight, 31% had a normal weight and 23% were obese. Subjects were asked about their ideal wedding weight, the methods used to change their weight, details of the ceremony and their involvement in the planning.
Results showed that 64% of men wanted to weigh about 20 pounds less on their wedding day, though only 39% actively tried to lose, and 12% wanted to weigh about 13 pounds more. Twenty-four percent reported being happy with their weight. To lose weight, men ate more fruits and vegetables, drank more water and consumed less food. About 20% reported skipping meals and less than 10% took diet pills or fasted. To gain weight, men ate and exercised more. About 4% took up smoking to prevent weight gain.
Caveat: The study lacked a comparison group of men who weren't engaged and didn't include gay men, whose views on wedding weight and appearance may be different than heterosexual men, researchers said.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said Sunday's loss to the Oakland Raiders was the fault of the whole team.
Safety Ryan Clark said the collapse was his fault for "not making sure everybody's where they need to be and understanding the urgency of the moment."
Defensive end Brett Keisel said to "blame this loss on me" because "I messed up some things that resulted in touchdowns."
Article Photos
The Associated Press
Ben Roethlisberger had a huge day but was left hanging his head walking off the field following the Steelers' last-second loss to the Raiders on?Sunday.
Wide receiver Antonio Brown referred to his fourth-quarter fumble as something that "shouldn't happen."
Heading into the bye week, the Steelers have plenty of blame to go around.
The Raiders scored the final 13 points after wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was knocked out and hospitalized by a scary hit, sending the Steelers to a 34-31 loss when Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired.
"That was a poor performance by us," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "You're going to lose games when you play like that, as we did today. We have to chew on this one for a while. It's not going to go down easy, as it should not go down easy. But it won't define us. We'll go back to work. We'll continue to search for areas of improvement, which are many."
Early in the fourth quarter, Heyward-Bey was knocked unconscious by a helmet-to-helmet hit in the end zone by Steelers safety Ryan Mundy that was not called a penalty by the replacement officials. Heyward-Bey was taken to the hospital with a neck injury.
Carson Palmer then threw his third touchdown pass for Oakland (1-2) and Janikowski kicked two field goals to beat the Steelers (1-2) and give coach Dennis Allen his first win.
The Raiders took over with the game tied at their 25 with 1:42 remaining. Palmer got the drive going with a 24-yard pass to Brandon Myers on third-and-10 and then hit Derek Hagan on a 17-yard pass down to the Pittsburgh 26 with 27 seconds left.
Oakland ran down the clock to set up Janikowski's winning kick that sent the crowd into delirium less than an hour after silence overtook the stadium when Heyward-Bey was injured.
"It's tough," said Mundy, sitting in the far corner of the Steelers' locker room. "He has a job just like I have a job. Anytime that he's not able to perform his job because of injury, that's tough as a player. We don't play like that. We don't try to injury people or anything like that. We understand this is people's livelihood. We take that serious."
Mundy's helmet hit Heyward-Bey in the facemask on an incomplete pass in the end zone. Heyward-Bey's neck jerked violently and his head also crashed into the ground. Players from both teams kneeled in prayer as Heyward-Bey was attended to for about 10 minutes. He raised his right hand while being taken off the field on a cart to go to the hospital with a neck injury.
Four plays later, Palmer eluded pressure and found Denarius Moore on a 6-yard touchdown pass that brought Oakland within 31-28 with 12:13 remaining.
Raiders cornerback Pat Lee then forced a fumble downfield by Brown that Philip Wheeler recovered at the Oakland 36. Palmer drove the Raiders down the field and tied the game on a 32-yard field goal by Janikowski with 6:30 to play.
"Their defense made the stops when they needed to, and we didn't," Clark said. "It wasn't from a lack of trying. Maybe it was trying too hard. I know myself I was just, gotta be everywhere, gotta make a play. I take blame it even got to that point, because we kept giving up scores."
With the Steelers missing Pro Bowl defensive stalwarts Troy Polamalu (calf) and James Harrison (knee), the Raiders were able to move the ball effectively most of the game.
Darren McFadden ran for 113 yards, including a 64-yard TD burst in the first quarter that surpassed his rushing total from the first two games of the season combined.
Palmer overcame an interception on the first play of the game to go 24 for 34 for 209 yards and three touchdowns, including a 3-yarder to Heyward-Bey late in the first half.
But Roethlisberger was even better, throwing two TD passes to Heath Miller in the first quarter, as well as third-quarter scores to Mike Wallace and Brown. Roethlisberger finished 36 for 49 for 384 yards as Oakland failed to generate any sustained pass rush.
But Roethlisberger failed to convert a third-and-9 under pressure following the two-minute warning to give Oakland the chance at the winning score.
As if the loss wasn't bad enough, the Steelers will have some extra time to deal with the loss. They don't play again until hosting the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 7.
"We let them come back and get the win," Keisel said. "We got to chew on it, and we got to chew on it for two weeks."
NOTES: Myers left the game with a concussion on the final drive. ... Hall of Famer Marcus Allen lit the torch honoring late owner Al Davis in a sign that his long-running feud with the organization has ended. ... Miller has four TD catches in three games.

South Buffalo Catholic School's three elementary schools will be merged into a single facility next September, parents, faculty and staff were told at a meeting Thursday in Bishop Timon-St. Jude High School.
Ambrose Catholic Academy on Okell Street and Trinity Catholic Academy on Hayden Street will be closed, and all students from prekindergarten to eighth grade will go to Notre Dame Academy, 1125 Abbott Road.
"They looked at all three buildings, and Notre Dame made the most sense," Kevin A. Keenan, spokesman for the Diocese of Buffalo, told The Buffalo News on Thursday night. "It's the newest of the three buildings."
Keenan noted that the consolidation comes in response to declining enrollment.
"If you look at enrollment in South Buffalo," he said, "10 years ago it was 2,063. That number today is 601."
He said that Notre Dame presently has 344 students, while Ambrose has 139 and Trinity has 127.
"This is the right time to make this move," Sister Joan Sherry, chairwoman of the South Buffalo Central School Board of Education, said Thursday.
"Our buildings are under capacity, and the cost of maintaining three buildings is very high. By moving all of the students to the Notre Dame campus, we will be able to concentrate more of our resources on educating our students."
Notre Dame Academy was created in 2006, when St. Martin of Tours, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Bonaventure schools were consolidated in the St. Martin of Tours building.
Notre Dame currently features a fully remodeled science lab, updated technology and wireless Internet capability.
A special open house will be held at Notre Dame Academy from 6 to 7:30 p.m. March 14. Private tours of the school are available at other times. To arrange for a tour, call the school at 824-0726.

A violent crimes task force is on the lookout for a man suspected of robbing three Sacramento-area banks.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said the suspect, dubbed the "Bad Hatter Bandit," robbed Chase banks on Del Paso Boulevard three times between Nov. 29, 2012 and this month.
In each heist, the FBI said the man wore one of a variety of black hats. He also brought along a leather folio.
Using a note or verbal demand, the man asked for cash in each robbery and indicated he was armed, the FBI said.
According to witnesses, accomplices have been seen in the Bad Hatter Bandit's getaway vehicles, which have turned out to be stolen, the FBI said in a news release.
The FBI said those involved are considered armed and dangerous.

The family-owned company draws its design inspiration from Eastern and Western textiles like Turkish kilims and Native American blankets, as well as from more everyday sources such as cobblestone streets. And although Momeni weaves the majority of its indoor floor coverings from silk and New Zealand wool, (including its traditional Asian and European patterns), it also creates a few from acrylic (mainly its children's and tween lines). But whatever the material and whatever the use, Momeni rugs reflect a timeless love of texture and artistry.

A Framework for Research on Corporate Accountability Reporting
Karthik Ramanna
Harvard University - Harvard Business School
October 1, 2012
Accounting Horizons 26, No. 2 (June 2013)
Harvard Business School Accounting & Management Unit Working Paper No. 12-021
This paper provides an accounting-based conceptual framing of the phenomenon of corporate accountability reporting. Such reporting is seen as arising from a delegator's (e.g., a citizenry) demand to hold a delegate (e.g., shareholders) to account. When effective, corporate accountability reporting can internalize certain externalities into firms' resource-allocation decisions, although doing so will not always serve shareholders' interests. I leverage the positive accounting literature's current understanding of properties of financial reports to develop three hypotheses on corporate accountability reporting. I argue that an accountability reporting system is likely to be more useful to a delegator if it: (1) mitigates information advantages across delegates and delegators; (2) reports both stocks and flows in the measures of account; and (3) has a mutually agreeable due process to match across periods the actions of delegates and the outcomes of those actions. I show how the successive incidence of these properties in observed corporate accountability reports can be used to determine whether and how those reports create or destroy value for shareholders and other constituencies.

Bounty (episode)
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Archer is captured by a Tellarite bounty hunter who plans to hand him over to the Klingons; a microbe induces the pon farr in T'Pol who finds herself confined to the decon chamber with Phlox.
Summary Edit
The Enterprise NX-01 is exploring an uninhabited planet when a shuttle suddenly arrives. Captain Jonathan Archer and Charles Tucker return to the ship to greet a friendly Tellarite who eventually offers them to be their guide for a shore leave, as he pretends to know the planet well. Unfortunately, as soon as Archer is in physical proximity, the Tellarite abducts him, disabling the Enterprise starboard warp nacelle before going to warp. Lieutenant Malcolm Reed then orders everyone on the planet to return. Sub-Commander T'Pol and Doctor Phlox bring back an unusual microbe and have to go through decontamination, leaving Tucker in command.
From the discussion between Archer and Skalaar, we learn that the Tellarite is a bounty hunter and that he is planning to return the captain to the Klingons, since they offered a big reward after Archer's escape from Rura Penthe. Even if Skalaar had not been hunting criminals all his life – he was a freighter captain until the Klingons seized his ship, the Tezra – he seems to be pretty experienced and sends the Enterprise in the wrong direction with a beacon emitting a false warp signature.
A short while after, another bounty hunter, Kago-Darr, shows up to steal Archer from Skalaar. The Tellarite prefers to let Archer take the helm instead of having him taken away and they are able to knock off Kago's engines before they are also forced to land in order to make external repairs. Archer's attempt at sabotaging the ship is unsuccessful.
In the Enterprise's decon chamber, the microbe is giving T'Pol a hard time. She has difficulty controlling her emotions and eventually enters an artificially induced pon farr. Phlox is able to stay very professional in spite of the science officer's attempts at seduction. Unfortunately, T'Pol soon becomes aggressive and escapes from the chamber, but she doesn't go far as the deck is soon sealed and the Vulcan is stunned.
After a stop at his brother's workshop, Skalaar learned that the Klingons already cannibalized his dear Tezra and he becomes more compassionate towards Archer. He "locks" Archer with false handcuffs, a wise move since the Klingon captain, Goroth, decides to give him only 6,000 of the 9,000 promised darseks. On the Klingon ship, Archer eventually escapes from his holding cell and is able to make it to an escape pod. The Enterprise has no difficulty finding him after Skalaar gives them the Klingon ship's position. They get back their captain after disabling Goroth's ship's weapons.
In the end, Phlox's treatment seemed to have worked fine on T'Pol and Skalaar wishes best of luck to Archer, for the Klingon bounty will probably double after this new escape.

Memorable quotes Edit
"I've learned never to cross a Klingon."
- - Skalaar
"You'd be wise to keep quiet. The Klingons pay me the same whether you're alive or dead."
- - Skalaar, to Archer
"Your endorphine and hormonal levels are dangerously high!"
"You don't understand, I'm not ill."
"These are hardly normal readings!"
"They're normal for a Vulcan in my condition."
- - Dr. Phlox and T'Pol, isolated in decon
"If I don't mate with a male, Vulcan or otherwise, I'll die."
- - T'Pol
"I'm hungry."
"Our meals will be here soon."
"I wasn't referring to food."
- - T'Pol and Phlox
"Don't be frightened. I won't hurt you."
"You're disturbing my serum!"
- - T'Pol and Phlox
Background information Edit
- The selection of this episode's antagonist came early in the writing of the installment. Brannon Braga recalled, "When we sat down to develop the episode, we thought, why not make it a Tellarite bounty hunter. Why do Klingons again?" (Star Trek: Communicator issue 145, p. 31)
- The first draft script of this episode was submitted on 7 March 2003. The installment's final draft script was issued a week later, on 14 March.
- Robert O'Reilly is better known for his role as Gowron in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Jordan Lund also appeared in both those series, playing Kulge in "Redemption II" – in which O'Reilly also appeared – and Woban in "The Storyteller".
- This episode was filmed between 19 and 27 March 2003.
- This is the first appearance of the revised Tellarite makeup by Michael Westmore and first appearance of the Tellarites since Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, discounting stock footage.
- The interior of Skalaar's shuttle was a redress of the Class 2 shuttle set from Star Trek: Voyager.
- The space station visited by the bounty hunter Skalaar and Archer was a reuse of the Cardassian repair facility CGI model from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. They appeared in the Monac shipyards in "Shadows and Symbols", as the Kelvas repair facility in "Tacking Into the Wind" and one was seen in orbit of Cardassia Prime in "What You Leave Behind".
- A D'Kyr-type Vulcan ship can be seen docked at the station with its warp ring in a horizontal position. This is the first and only time we see the ship in this type of configuration.
- This is the last episode of the "original direction" of the series occurring just before the Xindi attack on Earth, as is depicted in "The Expanse". The premise of Enterprise being a ship of exploration was scrapped in favor of the year-long Xindi arc in season 3 and the usually short arcs (as well as a few single episodes) that were more often closely related to Star Trek: The Original Series in Enterprise's fourth season.
- Captain Archer ejects in an escape pod off the Klingon vessel, though T'Pol claimed that Klingon vessels did not have escape pods in "Sleeping Dogs".
- A Klingon stunt button panel from this episode was sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [1]

CD-adapco is the world's largest independent CFD focused provider of engineering simulation software, support and services. We have over 30 years of experience in delivering industrial strength engineering simulation.
One of the most important parameters when using a 2-fluid model to analyze the critical heat flux (CHF) performance of a mixing grid is the interfacial area term. This term is responsible for the rate of phase change and the amount of thermal
and mechanical interaction between phases. Accurate closure relations for this term are not fully developed for flow conditions in a rod bundle that contain spacers with mixing vanes and simple support grids. Using the OECD/NRC,
Nuclear Power Engineering Corporation (NUPEC) PWR Bundle Tests (PSBT) 5x5 rod bundle steady-state average void fractions are compared to numerical simulations. Predicting the correct void fraction is one aspect in using numerical
simulation to predict CHF performance but attention must also be turned to the temperature distribution along the rods, especially the impact of spacers. An analysis is presented which shows the impact of the temperature distribution
along the rods for various interfacial area transport model parameters and closure models. With this AREVA demonstrates that it is possible to predict average void and correct temperature distributions with the use of computational fluid
dynamics (CFD).

This year certainly had its share of memorable sports moments, but some stick out more than the rest.
On Oct. 26, Summerville High School football coach John McKissick earned the 600th career-coaching win, a 3721 victory over Ashley Ridge.
It is a feat no other football coach at any level has ever done. Many believe it is a benchmark that will never again be met.
I knew it was a lot of wins, McKissick said. If it totals up to 600 thats great. It feels good and Im glad for the kids. Now they can tell everybody they were part of this win and be proud of it.
Making the accomplishment that much more impressive is the 86-year-old earned all 600 as the Green Wave coach. McKissick recently completed his 61st season with the school, where he has compiled a record of 601-148-13.
According to the National Federation of State High School Associations High School Sports Record Book, the coach closest to McKissick in terms of wins is J.T. Curtis, the head coach of John Curtis Christian School in River Ridge, La. Curtis, who recently completed his 44th season, earned his 500th win in October of last year.
The win left the team only one win shy of a complete sweep of Region 8-AAAA and the region championship, which it clinched the next week with a win over undefeated Bluffton.
AR championship
The Ashley Ridge High School Baseball team defeated Byrnes 4-3 on May 20 in the 2012 Class AAAA baseball championship game.
The win is memorable not only because it marks the first state championship Ashley Ridge has earned in any sport, but also because of the adversity the team had to overcome to achieve the feat.
The Swamp Foxes had a ton of momentum built up as they were set to carry the Lower State championship and a 29-1 record into the state-title series. However, the Sunday night prior to the Monday the series was slated to begin two AR starters were arrested for trespassing.
A Dorchester County Sheriffs Office report shows the two teenagers were arrested after what seems to be a prank at the high school. The players were suspended from the team and missed the entire championship series.
The Swamp Foxes lost the first game of the series, but pulled together to win the last two. Players who replaced the two suspended players in the lineup played major roles in both victories, as of course did others.
In the third and final game of the series, Ashley Ridge (31-2) rode a gutsy performance by pitcher Austin Livingston to the 4-3 victory.
Byrnes is a great baseball team and their pitcher just kept coming and coming, Ashley Ridge coach BJ Bellush said. But credit to our guys, we have preached mental toughness for the past four years and they just kept digging at it and eventually it paid off.
Livingston gave up nine hits during nine innings on the mound, but kept his composure the entire game. He struck out eight batters while walking only three, one of which was walked intentionally. He also hit one batter.
Ashley Ridge left three base runners stranded in three different innings, including the seventh. In the bottom of the ninth, the Swamp Foxes again loaded the bases off two Byrnes errors and an intentional walk.
Then sophomore Jason Miller stepped to the plate and connected with a pitch to send a fly ball into the outfield and courtesy runner Jacob Thompson tagged at third and came home for the game-winning run.
Pro Bowling
Former Summerville High School standout A.J. Green ended his NFL rookie season in January by playing in the Pro Bowl.
Green, who plays for the Cincinnati Bengals, was the first rookie receiver in the league to be named to the Pro Bowel since Arizonas Anquan Boldin achieved the feat in 2003. He is the first Bengals rookie to make the Pro Bowl since fellow wide receiver Cris Collinsworth made it in 1981, seven years before Green was born. The selection came just three days after Green broke Collinsworths club record for receiving yards with 1,031.
Pro Bowl spots are determined on voting by players, coaches and fans, with each groups vote having equal weight. Green was third in fan voting.
Last season, Green became the first rookie with 1,000 receiving yards since the Saints Marques Colston in 2006.
Scoring Record
Last Spring, Pinewood senior Courtney Angotti-Smith became the new career-scoring leader for South Carolina girls high school soccer.
Angotti-Smith scored two goals against Northwood Academy on March 27 to bring her career total to 222 goals. That broke the standing record for career goals in the state of 220 that was set by Bryn Post, who played for Richland Northeast High School.
Angotti-Smith finished her high-school career with 235 goals. According to the National High School Sports Record Book published by the National Federation of State High School Associations, only two female players have ever scored more goals in a high school career.
Erin Martin of Temple City, Calf. has the record of 286 goals and Rachel Alexander finished her career with 242 goals.
Angotti-Smith joined the Pinewood team as an eighth-grader. She now plays for the University of South Carolina.

Director Michael Moore and his wife of 21 years are divorcing.
Moore, 59, filed a divorce petition against wife Kathleen Glynn, 55, in an Antrim County, Mich., court on June 21, noting that there was "no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved," Michigan's Mlive.com reported Friday.
Glynn worked with her husband as producer on several of his films, including Bowling for Columbine, Sicko and Fahrenheit 9/11.
The couple owned a home, valued at $1.2 million, on the state's scenic Torch Lake. They married in 1991 in Flint, Moore's hometown. He chronicled the automotive city's woes in his 1989 documentary Roger & Me, the first of of nine films. He is also the author of eight books.
Glynn, who is also from Flint, studied at Mott Community College and was a one-time contributing writer to Moore's publication, The Flint Voice.
According to reports, the divorce papers say the couple have no children and no longer live together. Moore is seeking a restraining order barring sales of joint assets.

If anyone had to find a way to describe Jeffrey Buttle's resume, it would be perhaps that he continues to pursue and find success in skating, long after retiring as a competitive athlete.
If anyone had to find a way to describe Jeffrey Buttle's resume, it would be perhaps that he continues to pursue and find success in skating, long after retiring as a competitive athlete.
Wouldn't it be fun to see a bunch of figure skaters play a hockey game.....I think Jeff might be an exception as Scott Moir, Charlie White, and Kurt all played hockey at one point or another........as I'm sure many others did. No fighting though
So happy that Buttle has stayed in skating. Love that guy's approach to skating. He's turning into a fine choreographer.
One of the greatest pastimes of a skating fan is contemplating the string of fabulous men's singles champions from Canada. From Don Jackson through Toller, Brian O., Kurt, Elvis, Emanuel S., and Jeffrey, to Patrick; feel free to add anyone I've left out. And each one different, from the athletic Jackson to the bohemian Cranston, to lightning-quick Orser, all-encompassing Kurt, combat-ready Elvis, sinuously balletic head case Emanuel, elegant Buttle, superbly masterful Chan. What do you folk put in the water up there?

First off, hockey boys are sent to the CanSkate programs run by Skate Canada to learn to skate. In this way, they don't have to waste precious ice-time teaching the children basic skating skills. Most figure skating clubs are located in publically owned community recreation centres. Yes, the Cricket, Granite and Royal Glenora are all very expensive, invitation only private clubs, but the Mariposa Club which has produced 3 of the World and Olympic medalists mentioned above, is located in a community recreation centre in Barrie. Sandu's home club - 8 Rinks in Burnaby BC is a public facility as is the Minto Club - home of Don Jackson. Only Cranston and Chan came out of the private Toronto Clubs.
The figure skating clubs must share ice-time with the minor hockey leagues operating out of the same facilities. This is why the hockey clubs send kids to Can-Skate. Ice-time for practices is expensive and precious. The figure skating clubs make money on the Can-Skate programs which helps them subsidize ice time for their competitive programs, where fewer skaters are on the ice at the same time. As a bonus, sometimes the boys find they really like figure skating, and they stay.
Last but certainly not least, talented boys are fawned and treated as something very special. Everyone is wondering if this boy will be the "next one" as Rod Black used to call them. I gather talented young girls in the US are treated similarly. Talented girls are a dime a dozen here but a talented boy will get a lot of attention.
I'm willing to guess that the problem in the U.S. is not that talented boys are ignored. It's that boys don't tend to gravitate to figure skating in the U.S. It's a niche sport at best in the States, unless it's about a girl who could be the next America's Sweetheart. Guys tend to see this sport as ballet on ice. I honestly don't know how Canada cultivates a more sensible mindset, but they seem to.
Dragonlady, if it's true that talented girls are a dime a dozen in Canada, the national federation is missing a huge chance by not cultivating them. But I can't imagine that's true. Canada has so many wonderful men, frequently some tremendous pairs, and a proud tradition of ice dance. Why would the federation ignore ladies singles skaters? Maybe I'm missing your point. Long day, very tired. My apologies!
The biggest difference you see in the treatment of boys and girls in skating in Canada is the mindset that girls skate as a physical pass time, its for fun and isn't serious, unless the kid decides to take it seriously, for boys however it is treated as a competitive sport from the beginning. Girls just aren't pushed like the boys are because there is such a shortage of boys. I know as a coach I get ridiculously excited when I get a boy in figure skates.
As the parent of a girl who figure skated, I couldn't help but notice how differently the boys were treated. We changed clubs when our coach left one club and moved to the next and a whole group of young skaters moved with him. We all arrived for our first session - 7 skaters with one or more parents, plus siblings, and we were greeted by the club president. He made a huge deal about one of the boys saying how happy he was to have him in the club since he had won a gold medal at the most recent Thornhill competition. My daughter had also won a gold medal at Thornhill in the same competition but that wasn't even mentioned.
Going to the Men's Long Program at Canadians is like attending a rock concert. The crowd is large, loud and ready to party.
Jeff Buttle is a wonderful role model for these skaters. A very intelligent and poised young man who has made an easy and successful transition to a professional career. I remember his performances live in Gøteborg. He was spot on!! I think Johnny, Evan and Plushenko can learn a lot from Jeff and make good transitions to proffesional careers in skating or other venues without the 'brass ring' mentality that seems to permeate the sport today. Keep up the fantastic work Jeff!
Indeed he is. I think he intended to return to continue his engineering course in University but he is doing well in his professional and choreography career that he has postponed his studies. He knows what he wanted and was pragmatic about his chances. He knows how to move on. Chan has said of Buttle, the most artistic skater he has met and that Buttle is a very good person too. To be judged in such light by a (past) fellow competitor and colleague, is revealing. I think Jeff will continue his rise in the world of choreography.Originally Posted by senatormls
I couldn't be happier for Jeff - wonderful skater, gracious person, and now we get to appreciate his talent as a choreographer!
