The Jaguars inched closer Wednesday night to adding free-agent center Alex Mack.
Two sources told the Times-Union that Mack's camp and the Jaguars had agreed to terms on a five-year offer sheet.
Once the contract is signed, the Cleveland Browns will have five days to match.
CBS Sports was the first to report the agreement.
When the offer sheet, which would undoubtedly make Mack the NFL's highest-paid center, is filed with the league office, the clock starts for Cleveland.
If the Browns don't match, they will not receive any compensation from the Jaguars for Mack.
Mack visited Jacksonville last Friday and Saturday.
Earlier Wednesday, a source said talks between Mack and the Jaguars were "still ongoing" but that no offer had been extended.
But negotiations intensified to the point that Mack's camp and the Jaguars that the key parts were somewhat finalized. The CBS report said an actual contract was still being draw up.
The Jaguars' challenge is crafting a deal that meets Mack's demands and includes more money than Cleveland wants to pay.
The Jaguars have stayed silent this week, but Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and coach Mike Pettine have briefly addressed the issue.
On Tuesday, Haslam said he remained "optimistic" Mack would remain with the Browns and reportedly suggested the team is prepared to match any Jaguars offer.
During a conference call with Cleveland-area reporters on Wednesday, Pettine said the Mack situation is "very fluid. I'm not that comfortable talking about it because it is an ongoing contractual thing. … And it can change day to day."
Concrete numbers have yet to be floated, but an offer sheet would likely surpass the deal signed by Carolina center Ryan Kalil in 2001 — six years and $49 million, including $28 million guaranteed.
Salary-cap space isn't a problem for Cleveland (league-high $30.8 million available) or the Jaguars ($25.1 million, third-most).
Mack would immediately become the linchpin of the Jaguars' rebuilt offensive line. A first-round pick from California, he has played all 4,998 snaps of his career and made two Pro Bowls.
While part of the Jaguars' front office, likely chief contract negotiator Tim Walsh, was focused on Mack, the coaching staff was hosting eight players to EverBank Field, including quarterbacks Teddy Bridgewater of Louisville and Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M.
"It's been great being around Coach [Gus] Bradley, Coach [Jedd] Fisch and Mr. [Dave] Caldwell and getting to see Jacksonville," Manziel said in an interview with the Jaguars' website.
Also on-site were BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy, Notre Dame defensive end Stephon Tuitt, Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson, Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and reportedly linebackers Khalil Mack (Buffalo) and Anthony Barr (Fresno State).
Scheduled to meet with the Jaguars on Thursday, according to league sources, are seven players: South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins, LSU running back Jeremy Hill and four quarterbacks, Central Florida's Blake Bortles, Alabama's A.J. McCarron, LSU's Zach Mettenberger and Fresno State's Derek Carr.
Clowney, Watkins, McCarron and Hill were names that emerged on Wednesday.
Clowney, the consensus top player in the draft, didn't meet with the Jaguars last week following his pro day in Columbia, S.C., but they did meet for 15 minutes at the scouting combine in late February.
Watkins is the consensus top receiver in the draft and remains a great fit for the Jaguars with the third overall pick following a 101-catch junior year for the Tigers.
McCarron could be on the board when the Jaguars draft at No. 39. He was 36-4 as a starter for the Crimson Tide and threw 28 touchdowns as a senior.
Hill is an interesting player because of his background and production. Off the field, he's had two run-ins with police, the last coming in April 2013 when he was charged with battery. On the field, he played only two seasons for LSU, but his 1,401 rushing yards and his 16 touchdowns last year ranked in the top 20 in FBS.

General McLane rolls past Fort LeBoeuf
EDINBORO -- David Ingalls jumped over a defender and hauled in a 23-yard catch early in the second quarter.
The weight seemed to lift right off the shoulders of a young General McLane team.
After Ingalls' terrific catch, the Lancers were off and running to defeat Fort LeBoeuf 27-3 Friday in a non-region game in front of more than 1,000 fans at Linden Field.
"That catch really helped get the excitement rolling," McLane quarterback Kyle Sult said. "We stepped up from there and kept getting better."
Sult, a junior making his first varsity start under center, threw for 71 yards and a touchdown to go with 108 yards on 14 carries, including a 3-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to put the game away.
Sult is part of a junior class that isn't experienced but will be counted on to play key roles this season.
"I think we did a pretty good job defending Fort LeBoeuf," McLane coach Jim Wells said. "That is a good, physical LeBoeuf team and the kids stepped up. We have a lot of kids that are good athletes but they are first-year starters. They haven't been under the lights on Friday nights in starting roles. They've just been in backup roles or junior varsity kids.
"We have a lot of juniors out there that had to step up. They were a little nervous in the first half but I thought we dug a little deeper and had a great effort from those kids and LeBoeuf competed until the very end."
Briggs Twitchell and Ethan Laird each ran for one touchdown, while Joe Dunn had 81 yards on 11 carries.
While the offense was producing, it was McLane's defense that stood out on Friday. The Bison were held to 110 yards of offense and out of 24 carries, only nine were for positive yardage.
Twitchell led the defense with six tackles for a loss, including two sacks. He also dealt some punishment with big hits on special teams.
"We were making tackles and doing what we were supposed to do," Twitchell said. "We wanted to do what we learned in practice. This is a big step and you want to get that first game out of the way. We played well."
Collin Fish led LeBoeuf with 22 yards on five carries, while new quarterback Kenny Youngberg completed 7-of-20 for 86 yards.
The Bison travel across the county for a tough game at North East next week, while McLane gets an extra day before jumping into Region 6 play at Veterans Stadium against Central Tech on Sept. 6.
"We have a young crew that has a lot of untapped potential and they took a big step in this game," Wells said.

H'wood grumbles that show needs overhaul
For years, the brahmins of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences have viewed the Oscarcast as a sacred tradition.
However, with viewership of the kudocast hitting an all-time low last week, it's clear that Oscar, now 80, is showing his age. Many members of the Academy — even conservative types that aren't your typical squawkers — are grumbling that it's time for a change.
But how? Should the ceremony segue to an "American Idol"-style vote by the public? Should nominees have to endure a series of "Survivor" style challenges to prove how much they want that statuette?
Of course, the Oscarcast would never stoop to adopting the conventions of reality television. And that's part of its problem. As the granddaddy of awards shows, and the most prestigious honor Hollywood has to bestow, Oscar seemingly has the obligation of maintaining its dignity, even a little pomposity. But it's also feeling pressure to reinvent itself for the YouTube generation.
After the Feb. 24 telecast, many Acad members had specific ideas on changing the show: Give out more trophies before the telecast starts, limit the broadcast to two hours, offer lengthier clips that demonstrate the actor's prowess, the director's technique, the writer's way with words, etc.
Others have suggested that an interesting twist would be to announce the vote tallies — finding out not only who won, but who was runner-up, and how many votes made the difference for the winner.
One of the fundamental quandaries for the Academy Awards is that the event is designed to be a celebration of cinema — but it has to work first and foremost as a TV program.
TV producers surveyed say the Oscar telecasts feature too many dry craft categories that non-pros don't give a hoot about. "If you're seriously interested in prosthetic makeup, go to the Web and watch" a separate ceremony, "American Idol" exec producer Nigel Lythgoe suggests.
Broadcaster ABC has a lot to say about some of these mandates, such as running time and another proposal for a change in dates. But many in the biz think that the organization itself is a bit stodgy.
Even though the Academy hosts a Sci-Tech ceremony earlier in the month to honor technical contributions, members of various tech-craft branches would hate to see their members relegated there.
But the televised ceremony started in 1953 and many of the show's traditions stem from that date, including the categories. (Though Oscar is about the film biz, when was the last time you saw a short subject — docu, animated or live action — in theaters?)
Critics think the Academy approach is outdated, but many in the org like the sense of tradition. Bruce Davis, who has served as AMPAS' exec director since 1989, has always sought to maintain the prestige of the award, and decorum in the hoopla that envelopes the competition and the ceremony. Davis told Entertainment Weekly last week that "the audience is there for the aspects of the show that we're a little embarrassed by," including the red carpet.
Some have suggested that the industry should throw its weight behind a competing awards show that would have more fan-friendly award categories, like separate races for comedy, drama and action films.
But the growth of the awards circuit is part of the problem. Oscar has been a victim of its own success in many ways, observes multi-hyphenate Judd Apatow, who adds that he likes the Oscars just fine the way they are.
"Because there are so many awards shows, the winners (of the Oscars) are rarely a mystery, so the fun of 'who will win' is kind of gone," Apatow observes. "I don't know how you change that, unless they move the awards to early September and try to beat everyone to the punch — but the Democratic Party can tell you how that creates all sorts of other problems."
The format for the telecast was set on March 19, 1953, when Bob Hope and Conrad Nagel handled hosting duties and Cecil B. DeMille's "The Greatest Show on Earth" was crowned best pic.
That show, which aired on NBC from 10:30 p.m.-midnight EST on a Thursday, drew 82% of the viewing audience. ABC's Feb. 24 telecast, which saw "No Country for Old Men" take the top prize, drew 29%.
With an average of 32 million viewers, the kudocast only barely topped the regular Tuesday airing of "American Idol," which reeled in 29 million. (Oscar's ratings are likely to inch up some next week when delayed viewing via DVRs is factored in by Nielsen.) In the demographic that matters most to advertisers, adults 18-49, "Idol" had the edge with an average of 14.7 million to Oscar's 14 million.
A decade ago, the Academy Awards hit its modern-era peak when 55 million swooning fans watched "Titanic" sail off with the top prize.
But in the past five years, Oscar has struggled to pull in greater than 40% of the available audience.
So what to do? For starters, there seems to be unanimity among top TV producers that the show needs fewer award presentations overall. The Grammys hand out no fewer than 100 awards every year, but only 10 of them are presented on-air. The rest of the show is all about entertainment.
"American Idol's" Lythgoe knows more about producing live TV than virtually anyone else these days, delivering four-plus hours a week of the smash Fox competish series. Lythgoe agrees that the Oscars are in desperate need of a revamp.
"You need to keep the pomp and circumstance, but still make it feel young and fresh," he says.
Lythgoe's had time to think about these issues. Last year, he and fellow "Idol" exec producer Ken Warwick were initially tapped to produce the Primetime Emmy Awards telecast. But their day jobs wound up overwhelming them, and they had to bow out.
Lythgoe says he and Warwick faced a daunting dilemma when looking to revamp that kudocast. They couldn't figure out how to work around the sheer number of categories awarded on the show. (Emmy hands out even more awards on air than Oscar, with 28 last year.) There was no room for anything else.
"I'm not wanting to knock anybody, but we've got to go back to the drawing board," he says. "We've grown up around it and we're wedded to these formats. We keep adding more awards to these shows too."
Mark Burnett, the producer who upended the TV landscape with "Survivor's" elimination-style format, also says he'd take out the scissors if he had control.
"The Oscars are about the stars," he says. "I'd make it two hours long and I would have the televised portion be the big awards. … It was three and a half hours, and maybe 10% involved big stars."
Burnett speaks from experience. When he took over the MTV Movie Awards telecast last year, he made it a live event for the first time, and more importantly, he shortened it. The ratings shot up.
For the Oscars, Burnett suggest making the awards more relevant to mainstream auds by introducing a few genre-specific categories, such as best comedy or action film.
"I loved 'No Country for Old Men,' and would watch it again. The performance of Daniel Day-Lewis (in 'There Will Be Blood') was incredible," he says. "But these weren't the most relevant movies to the audience of today. I don't know that a young audience went in droves to see 'La Vie en rose.' It's great to acknowledge those, but there's also nothing wrong with awarding hugely successful franchises."
Lythgoe concurs.
"Personally, I was excited to see Marion Cotillard win," Lythgoe says. "But how many people even know her? That's the difficulty of the Oscars, they're asking their peers to vote, and everyone tries to be classy and sensible. But it isn't relevant to people going to the movies these days."
Lythgoe says he'd focus on showing "decent clips" that are more representative of a movie or actor's strength.
"I want to see why they won it," he says. "That's important, showing the audience a movie they may not have seen."
Lythgoe notes that the Oscarcast also must now entertain an audience that is just as enthralled with celebrity as it is with big-screen stardom (think Paris, Britney, Anna Nicole, TMZ.com, etc.). For the Oscars to feel extra-special, the telecast has showcase only the brightest of Hollywood's marquee names.
"We create celebrities nowadays," he says. "The Web has given every single person the opportunity to be a celebrity. As a result, you're going to have to give them the absolute best."

MAROON-X: A radial velocity spectrograph to identify habitable worldsStatus: (05/30/2016) PDR held June 2014. Contract signed with KiwiStar Optics for the core spectrograph in June 2015. FDR held in August 2015. Lab environmental control chamber stabilized to 10mK completed. Currently prototyping and testing key components like the pupil slicer, wavelength calibrator, and optical fibers. All of the optics for the spectrograph have been procured and delivered, the vacuum chamber has been completed, and integration is underway. The spectrograph is expected to be delivered to Chicago in September 2016.
See the paper that will be presented by our team at the upcoming SPIE conference for a discussion of the design and construction of MAROON-X.
Project description:
We aim to build a new instrument with the capability to detect Earth-size planets in the habitable zones of mid- to late-M dwarfs using the radial velocity method. The instrument will be a high-resolution, bench-mounted spectrograph capable of delivering 1 m/s radial velocity precision for M dwarfs down to and beyond V = 16. It will be installed at one of the 6.5m Magellan telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory. The capability that this instrument will have is well beyond the reach of any existing instrument. The anticipated uses for the instrument are to (1) conduct a radial velocity only survey for potentially habitable planets around nearby mid- to late-M dwarfs and (2) to confirm and measure the masses of low-mass planet candidates identified in the habitable zones of M dwarfs by ground- and space-based transit surveys. These later objects will be the best objects for future atmospheric studies of potentially habitable planets.
The main constraint for the instrument is set by the desired wavelength coverage. The important wavelength range for the instrument is 700 -- 900 nm because this is the region containing the maximum radial velocity information for mid to late M dwarfs. There is no gas cell useful for this region, so the instrument must be intrinsically stable to deliver the desired radial velocity precision. This means that the optical setup must be fixed and that the entire instrument must be in a vacuum tank and in a temperature stabilized enclosure. The instrument must also be fiber-fed to maintain illumination stability. A resolving power of approximately 80,000 is necessary. A similar setup can not be realized by making straightforward modifications to existing instruments - a new instrument must be built to achieve the radial velocity precision goal for the target stars.

Google Earth 5 adds new historical images and underwater viewing features
If you've ever wanted to be Superman - soaring above our globe, diving deep in the ocean, or launching into outer space - Google Earth 5 can grant you your wish. In exchange, you'll have to put up with a few bugs, an inelegant interface, and a controversial update system. Still, the delight of a superhero's-eye view of Earth is almost too much fun to pass up.
Google Earth 5 applies satellite imagery and topographical data to a 3D globe. In some major cities, you'll even see fully textured 3D buildings and landmarks. You can enhance these maps with a smorgasbord of relevant data, including photographs, Wikipedia entries, and YouTube videos. (Google Earth 5 downloads data on the fly, so the graphics occasionally stuttered as you travel the globe, even on a speedy MacBook.)
Learning Google Earth 5's basics is easy, but for anything more complex, you'll need to brave Google's sprawling online user guide.
Bored with Earth? Google Sky offers a map of the heavens packed with Hubble Space Telescope imagery, and Google Mars lets you explore the Red Planet.
The latter feature is particularly fun; you can follow the paths of the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, or converse with a Martian chatbot near the famous "Face on Mars." All these features are available in Google Earth's free regular version.
Keep up to date with what Google is up to with the PC Advisor Google News Spotlight
For $400, around £275, you can upgrade to Google Earth Pro. According to Google's website, the Pro version includes faster performance, the ability to make movies of your virtual travels, support for GIS (geographical information system) and GPS data, and higher-resolution image printing, among other features.
The major features that are new in the latest version of Google Earth include ocean views, historical imagery, and tours. The Ocean layer lets you dive beneath the water to explore the ocean floor, and adds various nautical layers, including shipwreck sites and YouTube videos from National Geographic, the BBC and Jacques Cousteau.
The videos are entertaining, but the ocean floor looks surprisingly boring and flat. Searching for subsea sites is hit or miss, too. We typed in "Titanic" and were whisked to landlocked Titanic, Oklahoma. (Google says it was unable to add many well-known underwater locations in time for the initial launch, but will work to include them in future updates.)
NEXT PAGE: Tours and Historical imagery >>
Historical imagery in Google Earth 5 lets you slide back and forth on a timeline of available aerial and satellite photography. Older images can be impressive, but for now, they're often scarce. We rarely found photos more than a decade old, and many of those were understandably less detailed than the latest images.
Tours let you share journeys with other Google Earth users, either by automatically following a predetermined route, or recording what you see as you zip around in real time. You can add audio, text, and images to explain different landmarks. Tours worked fine for us, except for audio.
Google Earth 5 consistently cut off the first few seconds of sound after we started recording; according to Google, the program needs a few seconds to load audio drivers before it can actually begin capturing sound.
Google Earth 5 is a lot of fun, and the free price is certainly attractive. But it's often so eager to be useful that it can be unusable. With so many data layers, it's hard to decide where to begin. You can switch individual layers on and off, but it's sometimes hard to tell from layer names alone whether they will be useful or interesting.
The interface felt cramped on a 13in laptop screen, squeezing Fly To, Places, and Layers panes into a sidebar to the left of the main window. It took a lot of scrolling to see each pane's entire contents; expanding one pane only made the others smaller.
The program also has a surprising number of bugs. Descriptions in the Places window sometimes illegibly displayed text atop other text. When we created a new placemark, Google Earth wouldn't save location names more than one word long unless I also added a description.
Keep up to date with what Google is up to with the PC Advisor Google News Spotlight
Google says it's aware of both issues and working on fixes, though programmers couldn't consistently replicate the latter problem. In addition, when we attempted to share a placemark with other users, we were taken to a bare-bones webpage saying that feature had been temporarily disabled. According to Google, it's upgrading the site tied to this feature and will restore service soon.
Privacy buffs may also object to Google's Update Engine, which installs with Google Earth 5 and can't be deactivated or removed on its own. The Mac version checks for updates once every day, rather than when Google Earth 5 is opened. It also invisibly activates every two hours to see if a day has passed since its last check, whether Google Earth is running or not.
Google Earth 5 lets you know about the updater before you install, but if you're not wild about an invisible program operating inside your computer and talking to Google every day, you might prefer some way to turn it off. Google says it's heard users' concerns about the updater, and is working on a better solution.
NEXT PAGE: Our expert verdict >>
Google Earth 5 offers a wealth of educational information in a fun package. Its free price also makes its minor inconveniences far more forgivable. If you don't object to the updater, it's well worth a download.

|Treatments available for sensitive teeth
If you have sensitivity to cold drinks, if it hurts to eat ice cream, if brushing along the gum line gives you sharp pain, or if you avoid dental cleanings due to sensitive teeth, there is hope.
Treatments are available, both at home and at the dental office, to alleviate your pain.
Tooth sensitivity along the gum line, particularly to cold and touch is a common occurrence. This is usually due to exposure of the dentin underlying the hard outer enamel layer of the tooth.
Dentin has microscopic fluid-filled tubules with a direct connection to nerve endings in the pulp of the tooth.
Pain occurs when cold or touch causes fluid movement in the dentinal tubules stimulating the nerve. This short, sharp pain in response to cold or touch is called dentinal hypersensitivity. Gum recession and enamel loss both contribute to this condition.
Treatment options include in-office procedures and/or home self-applied products. The treatment is aimed at either using dental products to sealing the dentinal tubules or to blocking the nerve pain response.
Gum recession and enamel loss
There are many contributing reasons for receding gums and enamel loss, which cause dentin exposure and sensitivity. Dentin is much softer than enamel and wears away 25 to 35 times faster than enamel.
As a result of enamel loss and exposure of the soft dentin, wear and/or decay can occur rapidly, followed by sensitivity. The most common reason for receding gums and enamel loss is gum disease and poor oral hygiene. Contributing reasons include:
• Gum disease.
• Poor oral hygiene with lack of brushing and flossing or improper technique.
• Grinding and/or clenching the teeth, causing enamel chipping at the gum line as well as wear on the top of teeth.
• Teeth crowded out of the jawbone.
• High frenum muscle attachment to the gum from the tongue or lip pulling the gum away from the tooth.
• Over vigorous brushing with a hard brush called toothbrush abrasion. Use a soft brush.
• Gum surgery needed for advanced gum disease.
• Gum injury from an accident or a tongue ring.
• Uncontrolled tooth whitening.
• Erosion from an acidic drinks and foods.
• Erosion from acid reflux disease or bulimia caused by regurgitating stomach acids.
Erosion is one of the most common causes of enamel loss. It is a major contributor to sensitivity. Erosion of the enamel causes opening or exposure of the dentinal tubules, which allows food and mouth acid to wash over the dentin and remove any protective coating. Enamel is extremely hard.
It is the second hardest substance in nature next to diamonds, but acid slowly eats enamel away. Frequent consumption of acidic drinks and foods is the main cause of erosion, particular soda pop, fruit drinks and many sport drinks. It is best to avoid acidic drinks, or if used, drink with a meal and then finish with water.
Swish and drink the water to wash away the acid on the teeth. Avoid sipping acidic drinks slowly between meals.
A few years ago, I saw a 17-year-old boy who had erosion and black decay along the gum line of all his teeth, with upper and lower sensitivity to cold foods and/or drinks. His smile looked awful.
I had been seeing him since he was a young child, and he had never had a cavity before this visit. He had dental exam and cleaning only four months before without a cavity. After discussing with him what had changed in his life, I found out that he had been working at a fast food restaurant for last three months, flipping burgers. Since cooking was hot, he had been continually sipping soda while working full time. The super acidic soda had eroded away his enamel, and the high concentration of sugar in the soda had caused the rampant decay.
Luckily, he sought treatment before it got worse. After tooth colored fillings and switching to water as his drink of choice, his sensitivity is gone, he has beautiful teeth again, and he has no present decay as of his last check up.
Treatment options
First, it is important to determine the reason for the hypersensitivity and plan accordingly. Taking care of gum disease, improving oral home care, changing eating and drinking habits, preventing clenching and grinding with a mouth guard, and treating acid reflux are necessary for long term prevention. Sometimes, orthodontics to move teeth into the jawbone or gum grafting to cover exposed root surfaces is required. A comprehensive examination and discussion with your dentist is needed to determine the underlying cause.
Short-term treatment to stop dentinal hypersensitivity involves either coating the exposed dentin, sealing off the dentinal tubules, or blocking the painful nerve impulse. When tooth notching has occurred, an actual ledge formed in the enamel, the best treatment is to have tooth-colored, bonded fillings to insulate, strengthen and protect the tooth surface. If no notching is found, several paint-on, in-office dental products can be used to seal the dentinal tubules, which will give immediate relief and can last up to six months.
Special polishing paste is available for use by dental hygienists that seals and coats dentin while polishing and removing stain. Prescription fluoride toothpaste and rinses are available that will coat the dentin, reducing sensitivity and preventing decay. Over-the-counter desensitizing agents that seal the dentinal tubules are found in toothpastes, gels and mouth rinses. One of the main active ingredients found effective in sealing dentin is stannous fluoride (0.4 percent).
Most over-the-counter desensitizing toothpastes use 5 percent potassium nitrate to interfere with the nerve transmission. Products include Sensodyne, Crest Sensitivity, Colgate Sensitive Maximum Strength, and Biotene Sensitive toothpaste with dry mouth protection.
All of these products contain fluoride to protect against decay, as well as 5 percent potassium nitrate. These toothpastes have showed a significant reduction in hypersensitivity within two weeks when used twice daily. Placing a small amount of these toothpastes directly on the sensitive gum line areas and leaving for a few minutes is particularly effective. Desensitizing toothpastes can also be used in whitening trays to relieve sensitivity between home whitening treatments.
In conclusion, if you have teeth sensitivity, there is hope. Various treatments are available. Ask your dentist.
Enjoy life and keep smiling.

Traditional masculine styling is subverted by McQueen in this tailored garment, which combines emphatic shoulders and peaked lapels with softly draped fronts and flowing straight pants. The soft, pale-pink fabric is perfect for the suit's draped and loose cut. The successful marriage of apparently contradictory elements is a feature of McQueen's bold, confrontational creations. These brought the young designer rapid and widespread acknowledgement of his talent.

By deconstructing the dress's traditional silhouette Alexander McQueen challenges tradition. Here McQueen employs a sculptural shape that while exquisitely constructed, emphasises a disconcerting asymmetry. Thus in McQueen's hands the dress has moved well beyond a conventional interpretation of a wardrobe staple.

This dress forms part of McQueen's Spring/Summer 2010 collection. The design features a vibrant, digitally printed textile with layered photographic images of a variety of reptile skins. Shown on the catwalk with vertiginous, claw-like shoes, the look dominated fashion pages and commentary in the months after McQueen's fashion show. This catwalk presentation was also notable for being one of the first to be streamed live onto the internet, where people could watch it in real time, free of charge.

New Yorker Ionel Talpazan draws UFOs, over and over again, portraying them as pumped up, extraterrestrial Christmas ornaments. They are typically neither menacing nor exotic, just a colorful part of a futuristic urban landscape. His obsession extends to a series of plaster sculptures with flying saucers of five to six inches in diameter standing on pedestals that sometimes take the form of giant hands. For a long time he produced his UFOs in obscurity and near-poverty, but his recent association with American Primitive Gallery is finally bringing him recognition.

As well as updating its RS/6000 series with new machines designed specifically for commercial, technical and parallel computing markets (CI No 2,085), the company yesterday pitched itself into the thick of the Unix workstation price war with the introduction of a sub-$4,000 offering. With the exception of the parallel technology, the new uniprocessors use IBM's basic Rios 1 RISC chip set. On the technical side, the most interesting new addition is the $4,000 - UKP4,000 - 33MHz PowerStation M20 workstation, which comes with with 16Mb to 64Mb RAM, two-dimensional Power Gt1 graphics, 17 colour monitor and is rated at 16.3 SPECint 92 and 26.7 SPECfp 92. There are three other upgradable desktop offerings, the $16,000, 42MHz PowerStation 355; a $19,500, 50MHz PowerStation 365 and a $25,230, 62.5MHz PowerStation 375. All come with from 16Mb to 128Mb RAM, 400Mb to 2Gb disk, Power Gt3i graphics, 19 colour monitor and are rated at 40.5, 48.4 and 59.8 SPECint 92 and 81.6, 97.0 and 118.2 SPECfp 92 respectively. On the commercial track there is a new 50MHz and PowerServer 360 and 62.5MHz PowerServer 370 - they can also be configured as workstations which are priced at from $19,700 and $25,700. The desktop machines, which come with up to 256Mb memory, 400Mb to 2Gb disk, are rated at 48.4 and 59.8 SPECint 92 and 97.0 and 118.2 SPECfp 92 respectively. Deskside 50MHz PowerStation and PowerServer 570 configurations - with 32Mb to 1,024Mb memory and 2Gb to 7.2Gb disk - are 50% faster than the existing 530H models, IBM claims. The 570 is rated at 48.4 SPECint 92 and costs from $45,475. New rack-mounted 50MHz 970B and 62.5MHz 980B servers come with 128Mb memory - double that available on the existing 970 and 980 equivalents. The two systems come with from 4Gb to 37Gb disk the 980B has eight additional expansion slots - and are rated at 47.8 and 59.2 SPECint 92 and 101.0 and 124.8 SPECfp 92 respectively. The 970B starts at $97,825, the 980B is $117,825. The commercial 360, 370, 570, 970B and 980B models can also be configured as technical systems. All the new RS/6000s are out in March, along with a new X-terminal, the Xstation 150 - $5,550 with claimed performance six times that of the existing model 130, and Legato Systems Inc-derived tape back-up system and software.

About This Book
Nory Ryan's family has lived on Maidin Bay on the west coast of Ireland for generations, raising a pig and a few chickens, planting potatoes, getting by. Every year Nory's father goes away on a fishing boat and returns with the rent money for the English lord who owns their cottage and fields, the English lord bent upon forcing the Irish from their land so he can tumble the cottages and clear the fields for grazing.
All day long, Nory dreams of food, coin [money], and a faraway place in America called Brooklyn, where no one is ever poor or hungry. But when a deadly disease strikes the Irish potato crop, the Ryans' dreams for a better life are destroyed. With her father and older sister far from home, Nory must be the one to find enough to eat, look after friends and family, and keep their hopes alive. Will Nory's family survive the Great Hunger?

If i cart a calcium tablet does it denote i dont want any more?
I mean does it indicate i dont need to drink milk or anything because i really can`t bear it and its so fatty. is a calcium tablet does it mean its sufficent calcium needed surrounded by a day?
a calcium tablet is apposite, but it's never enough and drinking milk and intake dairy products helps the tablet engage into your system.
also, milk isn't fatty if you drink skim milk, which is fat free. also, make the addition of some hershey's syrup to it to make it predilection better.
if you're pregnant, then you should really beef up your calcium intake. it's vital to keep YOUR bones and teeth strong, b/c the infant will suck calcium out of you like a parasite if it's not getting plenty. also, if you are keeping up on your dairy and calcium intake then you will a short time ago be helping yourself and your baby contained by the long run!
also, they are good sources of protein, too!
run care.
The more calcuim the better, but if you are taking a calcium suppliment consequently you should be OK.
I don't like milk any, it's a lot of extra grease. I take a calcium suppliment too - and it seem to be helping me!
Its waaay better to get vitamins through actual food than a short time ago by popping pills.
it's like a vitamin, you still munch through fruits and vegetables
Yes, but there are secure guidelines you have to follow when taking calcium to bring in sure it's absorbed properly, otherwise you are wasting your time. There is another supplement you enjoy to take beside it but I can't think of it at the moment, magnesium perchance? Do some research so you don't waste your money on pills that aren't working.
No, you still obligation to drink milk or anything else with calcium component. The tablet is NOT a substitute for milk. Try podgy free milk if you can't take the regular one, it's not that fruitless and it's VERY beneficial for your health. You also enjoy to watch out because TOO much calcium is not accurate either.
the problem near taking tablets and such is not all of it is obsessed into the body, so no not really. Try 1% milk. or a vitamin with a difficult percentage of absorbtion would be Activa because it's mixed with food vs adjectives vitamin.
Well, yes - if you have a polite calcium supplement that is life (you know spinach calcium rather than rocks) and give you the full amount you want each time. Bear in mind that the USDA is habitually too low and that Calcium goes down for a moment better when it works with Magnesium. Calcium harden while Magnesium softens. If you take too much calcium you could become constipated and if you lift too much magnesium you could have the divergent. Balance is what you need to do this comfortably.
PS - I don't drink milk myself, but I respectively cheese and yogurt which have calcium as do other foods, close to spinach. There are plenty of studies that show that cows milk is not good for population because it is too high contained by casein (the sticky agent in bonding agent - that's why there's a cow on every bottle of Elmer's Glue). Goat Milk and Cheese is a good alternative - not so much casein.
I would read out no. If you can tolerate milk - it is best to get your calcium from it. As I get older I drank smaller number milk as I was taking calcium tablets along near other vitamins. Now I am lactose tolerant and cannot have much dairy. My warning.get your calcium and viatmins from the source.
Try to complete the dosage rota.May be one week or more
than that as per the instructions of your doctor.
Calcium tablets along with other supplements are simply that, supplements. They are meant to be used along near a proper diet first, then using supplements surrounded by case you haven't met your day by day "quota" of nutrients. As for using supplements such as calcium, you would need to adjust the amount of calcium you would requirement to replace the "lost" amount of calcium you are depriving yourself of by not being competent to drink milk. A consultation with your doctor or dietitian/nutritionist should be step 1. You own to remember that you will never recover the total benefits of in reality gaining your calcium from valid milk .Good luck!
It is possible to get too much calcium, but probably not if you are youthful and active. Stay away from cola drinks, whether diet cola or not.
They bring a lot of calcium loss and will create problems when you become ancient like me.
The pill is usually solitary a supplement. Is your calcium pill a prescription or over the counter? If it's over the counter then drink milk as powerfully. You can also get calcium through other foods besides milk. Yogurt for example. Check your ingredients and nutrition info. on the label when shopping it will give the percentage of calcium the food contains. To be completely sure of a good strait answer it's other better and safer to ask you Dr.
The only accurate route I know of to measure your body's calcium plane is a blood test panel. The calcium/potassium ratio is high-status to body function. When I had a panel done it be discovered my calcium levels be too high, which is unusual for a middle aged womanly. I had to embezzle potassium drops to counteract the calcium. I was underneath the care of a terrifically good Naturopathic Physician. Unfortunately I moved away and enjoy not found someone to do the regular blood tests you entail to know where your body is at. All the best to your vigour.
Once again, we hear the falsehood "stay away from sodas, they eliminate calcium" Not true: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/20/health/20real.html?ex=1157256000&en=f778272e4ae3a43c&ei=5070
Carole wonders why her answer is fruitless? Partly this: her claim that "organic calcium is better than rocks". No, calcium is calcium. I know of no studies that prove that "spinach calcium" is somehow superior. Also, she claims "There are plenty of studies that show that cows milk is not suitable for people" because of casein. REALLY? I've never seen any such research. Generally milk intolerance is due to lactose, not the protein component.
Bottom row for the original give somebody the third degree: You should not try to achieve your entire each day requirement for calcium intake entirely from supplements. There are other beneficial components to food that will be missed. However, if your diet is deficient, next supplements are a good path to make up the difference. Try using one of the web-based calculators to estimate how much calcium you're getting surrounded by your diet.

"Good Lord, good meat, c'mon, let's eat!"
That abbreviated grace uttered over a plate of soul food is one of the few laugh lines from New York filmmaker Byron Hurt's new documentary, Soul Food Junkies. Scheduled to screen Sunday at the BlackStar Film Festival in Philadelphia, Soul Food Junkies is a thoughtful, historical, and personal examination of the unhealthy effects of African American eating habits.
Which is anything but funny. Too much fat and sugar? Yep. Obesity-causing and disease-inflicting? Sadly, yes. And, as research shows, increasingly deadly.
Nationally, nearly half of all African Americans suffer from high blood pressure. In Philadelphia, 20 percent suffer from Type 2 diabetes. Black children are 15 percent more likely to be obese than white children.

Alan Pardew has been looking at what Southampton have been spending over the last two seasons, and it's a lot more than Newcastle have spent, and the Newcastle manager is again talking about how difficult it is to be successful, with the finances as they are at the Tyneside club.
Alan Pardew – difficult to get success
Newcastle have had a decent season and we are currently in 8th place in the league, with the Saints one point behind us, but there has never been any relegation worries for Newcastle this season, which is different to last season.
This is what Alan Pardew has said today:
"We've definitely spent less money than them over the last two years," "I don't know if we are criticized. We are in some quarters, but the picture gets a bit cloudy with us sometimes."
"We're a big club with 52,000 fans so that means we have to get success, but it's very difficult to get success with the finance as it is."
"We're going to stick with the game plan that we have and the structure that we have. We have a decent opportunity this summer to take this club forward because we have a good base to the squad, but we need some quality to come in."
"It's a battle that I think both sides are looking at when you are around about each other, you want to prove that you are better."
"I was at Tottenham last weekend and Southampton were terrific and really should have got something out of the game. I know they are looking forward to the game as well.
"We are above them at the minute. We have had a season where we have lost a big player halfway through and we have had nowhere near the funding that Southampton have got, so in some ways, you could argue we have been battling against the tide here a little bit."
Of course in the last two transfer windows we have brought in only two loan players in Loic Remy and Luuk de Jong, but as things stand at the moment it looks like neither will be joining Newcastle this summer for different reasons.
Southampton have bought Jay Rodriquez, Victor Wanyama, Gaston Ramirez and Dejan Lovren for an outlay of around £40M since last year at this time, and the first two of those players were even linked with Newcastle, so that's about £37M more than Newcastle have spent in the last two windows.
But Newcastle's finances seem to be in good order in terms of profit and loss, with the club making £9.9M in the financial year through last June and we should make a lot more than that in this financial year.
So surely there's going to be a lot more money to spend in the future, and certainly this summer, and the news is that we intend to bring in six or seven new players.
Not sure why Pardew is bringing up the finances again, although it's true we've spent almost nothing in the last year on new players.
Perhaps it's that Ashley is being stingy again this summer, but that would be a huge mistake, since we need some good players brought in over the summer months.
Comments welcome.

Wolf Storyby William Mccleery Warren Chappell
This irresistible book is about: a father; his five-year-old son, Michael (intelligent, crafty, addicted to stories); Michael's best friend Stefan (stalwart listener, equally addicted to stories); and, well--what else?--a story.Oh, and a wolf. It is as Michael always demands: a Wolf Story, which begins one night at bedtime and spins wildly on through subsequent bedtimes and Sunday outings to the beach and park in a succession of ever more trickily tantalizing episodes. Waldo the wolf is sneaking up on Rainbow the hen, when Jimmy Tractorwheel, the son of the local farmer, comes along. After that, there's no knowing what will happen next, as while stalled in traffic jams or nodding off at night, the boys chime in and the story races on and Waldo finds, if not necessarily dinner, his just desserts.First published in 1947 and wonderfully illustrated by Warren Chappell, William McCleery's Wolf Story is a delicious treat for fathers and sons and daughters and mothers alike.

'Waltz' tops National Society of Critics Honors
As originally reported by Indiewire, the National Society of Film Critics announced the year-end awards on Saturday. At this point, with only eight days until Oscar ballots are due, the awards are basically a last minute addition to trade ads. And considering the pile of screeners most members sat through over the holidays, it's hard to imagine this amounting to much, but debating whether the organization should vote earlier to have more of an impact on Awards Season will be tabled for another time. Instead, here's some initial reaction to each of the winners.
BEST PICTURE: "Waltz with Bashir," directed by Ari Folman
Lowdown: Unconventional choice, but considering the events of the past few weeks in Gaza, incredibly timely. Could the current world situation find voters ignoring their "WALL-E" love and picking this stunning picture instead? Curious.
BEST DIRECTOR and SCREENPLAY: Mike Leigh, "Happy-Go-Lucky"
Lowdown: Considering how weak this category is this year, the previously nominated Leigh has an excellent chance of adding a sixth nod to his coffers.
BEST NON-FICTION FILM: "Man on Wire," directed by James Marsh
Lowdown: Is there any chance "Wire" won't win Best Documentary?
BEST ACTOR: Sean Penn, "Milk"
Lowdown: He's a lock to get the Oscar nod, question is whether he's really the frontrunner or not. The SAG results will provide a big hint.
BEST ACTRESS: Sally Hawkins, "Happy-Go-Lucky"
Lowdown: Another nice critic's award for Hawkins. She'll have a blast at the Globes, but it remains to be seen if she can crack Oscar's ladies club.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Eddie Marsan, "Happy-Go-Lucky"
Lowdown: Great working actor. Had fun chatting with him on the set of "Sherlock Holmes" (he plays Inspector Lestrade), but as great as he is in "Happy" it would be stunning to hear his name Oscar nominee morning.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Hanna Schygulla, "The Edge of Heaven"
Lowdown: Haven't seen this Foreign Film contender yet, so I have no idea who this woman is, but I'm sure she's very happy today.
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY: "Slumdog Millionaire," Anthony Dod Mantle
Lowdown: The Cinematographer's Guild (ACE) nods will tell the tale for Oscar, but it would be surprising not to see him at the big dance.
BEST EXPERIMENTAL FILM: "Razzle Dazzle," directed by Ken Jacobs
Lowdown: This movie was supposedly released in 2007, but who's counting when it's "experimental"? As a graduate of Cal Arts film program that was as far from Hollywood as you can get, glad one group is recognizing the art filmmakers out there.
Monday gets a lot more exciting with the announcement of the Producer's Guild Association nominees. Yay.

on May 21, 2014 - 10:23 PM
The Buffalo Bandits looked like a .500 team entering the 2014 National Lacrosse League season, a step up from 2013 when they missed the playoffs. The Bandits had upgraded their roster in the offseason, and brought in a new head coach who had won championships in his two previous stops in the NLL.
The Bandits lived up to those forecasts. They won 10 games and lost 11, and then dropped a 10-minute mini-game by a goal in sudden death that cost them a trip to the NLL Finals.
Their route to .500 was an odd one. After taking advantage of a weak early schedule featuring plenty of home games and weaker opponents, the Bandits lost their last eight games to finish 8-10. With expectations near zero, the Bandits beat Toronto in the first round, came home to defeat Rochester in the series opener and almost earned a championship matchup with Calgary.
The finish will leave a better taste in everyone's mouth for the next seven months. Yet it doesn't disguise the fact the Bandits only did as well as could be expected, with a mostly veteran team. That's not a sign that better days are necessarily right around the corner.
Here's the season in review by departments:
The unit provided an easy way to determine Buffalo's fate from week to week. When the team scored 10 or more goals, it was 10-3. When it was under 10 goals, the record was 0-8.
The Bandits counted on Ryan Benesch to provide scoring, and the acquisition from Minnesota did that. He led the team in the regular season with 78 points, and almost single-handedly won the Toronto playoff game with seven goals. That's in spite of the fact that the rest of the offense sometimes had trouble getting him the ball in scoring position.
Mark Steenhuis greeted his full-time return to offense with the enthusiasm of a 7-year-old at recess. His time as a transition player never did quite add up, especially to him, but he bounced back in 2014 to lead the team in goals with 31. He may not be a 50-goal scorer any more, but he can still help.
John Tavares, 45, couldn't put up the numbers every night like he used to do, but he was still a contributor. Shawn Williams, 39, had a year to forget, mostly because of the illness of his son. He finished with 49 points, his worst total since scoring 40 points in 10 games in 2000. At their ages, both men will be thinking about their future in the offseason.
Newcomer Joe Resetarits went from 24 points in Calgary to 42 in Buffalo. He was a consistent scorer in his second year in the league and looks like a keeper. Chad Culp and Jamie Rooney did some of the dirty work and scored the odd goal.
Aaron Wilson had injury problems for the first time in his career, but he also had trouble finding a regular role on the team. Wilson might need a change of scenery.
Dhane Smith did everything but play goal this past season. He was the team's third-leading scorer with 59 points, a constant threat to create fast breaks from the back end. If there's a full-time opening up front, he is the logical choice to fill the spot. Don't let him go anywhere.
Andrew Watt was slowed by an injury in midseason, but second-round draft pick Mitch Wilde proved to be a nice addition. Jay Thorimbert was a very good faceoff man who could contribute on offense once in a while, as usual.
The acquisition of Rory Smith was supposed to set the tone for the defense, and he did that. Smith was miserable to play against. A lasting image came in the final game of the playoffs – Smith following Cody Jamieson of Rochester, whacking him wherever he went.
Steve Priolo continues to get better. He went from seven points last season to 26 in 2014, and he remained a physical terror on defense. Priolo still takes a few silly penalties (65 PIM led the team), but he'll receive support for all-league teams.
Billy Dee Smith and Derek Suddons joined Rory Smith and Priolo in a powerful group of defensemen. Glen Bryan and David Brock supplied some depth.
Anthony Cosmo had his best year by far as a Bandit, providing a dependable presence in goal. He played like a league MVP candidate in the first half of the season. Cosmo's game slipped a bit in the second half, but he was solid in earning the first two playoff victories of his career. Cosmo is 36, but looks like a first-stringer for the immediate future.
Kurtis Wagar only played for 25 minutes the entire season. We still don't know if he can hold up for a few games in case of an injury to Cosmo, but he earned the backup job with a strong training camp and added life to the locker room.
Coaching/front office
After a season that featured too many veterans for too few roster spots, general manager Steve Dietrich and new coach Troy Cordingley restored some order in 2014. Cordingley seemed to enjoy coaching a team that had plenty of classy veterans on it. The new boss also scored points for his sense of detail and organization.
While the losing streak obviously brought some stress, the team didn't show many outward signs of it. The coaching staff gets credit for having the team ready to go for the postseason.
Here's the major question for the Bandits from here: Where are the potential places for improvement in order to move up in the standings?
Dhane Smith and Resetarits certainly qualify. Priolo still could go up a notch. Perhaps players such as Wilde, Mitch Jones, Kevin Brownell and Joel Matthews will develop. That's not a huge list.
Buffalo only has had three first-round draft choices in the past seven years – Smith, Travis Irving and Kyle Clancy. Only Smith is still around to contribute. What's more, the team's next three first-rounders already are in Minnesota's hands due to trades.
A good playoff run can't erase the memory of some difficult times in recent years.
The Bandits have had a losing record for each of the past three regular seasons; the team had never been below .500 in consecutive years before this stretch. Buffalo lost at least six straight games at some point in each of those years.
Some of the key veterans figure to fall away in the next few years; Tavares and Williams may opt to get on with the rest of their lives immediately.
Dietrich will have some serious work in front of him as that happens. The Bandits will have to use everything left in the toolbox, from free agent signings and trades to good draft choices outside of the first round, to become regular title contenders again.

Right Flying
Right Flying is a project where students work collaboratively online and is targeted for elementary and middle school classes. A second session began with students on February 15. It has not been refunded for this year.
Before you ask, "Why should I consider doing a collaborative project?" Read this:
Characteristics of Online Collaborative Projects
Please join us for this online festival of learning. Many of the teachers participating are new to this sort of thing.
ELEMENTARY / MIDDLE SCHOOLRight Flying online collaborative activity
Imagine students solving aeronautical puzzles through teamwork and testing, brainstorming and sharing design models, and building and problem solving with other students across the country. This is the basis for Right Flying. Students parallel the scientific and engineering process used by Orville and Wilbur Wright as they determine the best glider design which results in the longest and most stable flight.
Using a glider template with inherent design flaws, students will discover the importance of testing variables through hands-on glider building, test flights, and data recording. Classes will share their results via an online forum hosted by experienced classroom teachers and guest experts.
How are students testing their designs? What aspects of the flawed design should be changed? Are they be able to defend their new design? Can others test the design and receive consistent results?
Join the Right Flying online collaborative activity and find out!

Luxury Spain Holidays
A land of fiestas, flamenco and fiery bravado, Spain is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe, and with good reason. The country enjoys month after month of hot sun, the beaches are glorious and the locals welcoming. From the bustling resorts of the "Costas" to the less-visited regions, Spain is rich in culture and bursting with rugged, dramatic scenery.
Holidaymakers flock annually to the resorts on the Costa del Sol, from down-to-earth Benidorm to glamorous Marbella. Young partygoers head to the Balearic Islands to dance in clubs nothing short of legendary. Art and culture abound in Spain's second-largest city, Barcelona, where the avant-garde architecture of Gaudi is captivating.
Spaniards have been keeping the splendid beaches of the Costa del Luz, between the more crowded Costa del Sol and Portugal's Algarve, almost to themselves for decades but this sun-drenched region offers miles of sandy coastline. To get away from the crowds, visit northern Spain, home to fascinating mountain villages, swathes of unspoiled beaches, and fantastic food and wine.
For some, a Spanish holiday is about relaxing on a beach, while others create unforgettable memories exploring an ancient city. There are exclusive sports clubs, luxury spas and modern tennis centres, or visitors can indulge in a wine tour to the vineyards of Rioja and Catalonia.
For maximum sunshine, Spain is best visited in July and August but the weather is generally pleasant and dry from spring right through to autumn. The Spanish islands enjoy warm weather almost all year round.

Ever since the beginning of the Device Era, we've been forced to turn off our phones and tablets on airplanes. If you asked most people why this was necessary, they'd tell you smartly that the signal from your phone or device could interfere with the plane's instrument. They were wrong, said the FAA and now the FCC.
We asked Carr's campaign where the challenger stood on the issue. They sent over this statement from Carr: "I, like most everyone I know, do not want to sit on a flight next to someone talking on cell phone. But before we pass new regulations, I think we should wait and see if the airlines can solve this issue on their own. If they can't solve the problem, the government can step in."
"Keeping phone conversations private on commercial flights may not be enshrined in the Constitution, but it is certainly enshrined in common sense," Alexander says. "This legislation is about avoiding something nobody wants: nearly 2 million passengers a day, hurtling through space, trapped in 17-inch-wide seats, yapping their innermost thoughts. When you stop and think about what we hear now in airport lobbies, it's not hard to see why the FCC shouldn't allow cell phone conversations on airplanes," he says. "The solution is simple: text messages, yes; conversations, no.
