Tonight, its the grand launch of TMF Magazine, a brand new digital magazine with over one hundred pages, and no advertising mag! Next Hottest Model sits down with TMF Mag's Creative Director, Dylan Rosser. Awesome interview and hot previews after the jump, that's Next!
Tell us more about the new TMF Magazine. What are the things that we can expect on your new magazine?
"The idea is to give a platform for photographers and models to talk about or show their work. The one rule is that there will be no clothing. There is a lot of full frontal nudity in the magazine but at the same time there can are implied nudes or just portraits. So it is not all about the penis, it's just about being anti fashion. There are enough fashion magazines already so I want this to stand out as something different."
Is the TMF Mag going to be part of TheMaleForm.net?
"Despite the name this is a totally different project. Even though I have shot a lot of the content for TMF Magazine it is not about me at all. I label myself the creative director of the project but if in decide to do another issue the hope is that all the content will be by other photographers."
Will you be featuring just UK based models or will it be like The Male Form with a more diverse models?
"Wherever there is talent really. The cover model for this issue is from the UK but the rest of the content is mostly from the US."
If there is one word to describe the new magazine, what would it be and why?
"Showcase - that really sums up the intent for the mag. There are not many options out there to show male nudity in a tasteful way."
Do you accept submissions/application for potential models for your new mag, if you do, how will they contact you?
"Definitely, that's the whole purpose of this project. Photographers that have an exhibition or book to promote, or even if they just have images they want people to see and drive traffic to their website. Models that maybe wanna do an interview or just show a portfolio of images. The one rule is that all images must be without clothing. So implied nude, or full frontal, or portrait, just NO porn. All enquiries to firstname.lastname@example.com"
Who are the target audience of TMF Magazine?
"Anyone that appreciates the beauty of the male body. I have priced the magazine at $3.99 to keep it affordable to everyone."
If there is one advise that you can give to new models or those who are contemplating on going into modelling, what would it be?
"Do it because you enjoy it, don't do it because you want to make money. That very rarely happens."
How will you describe the main characteristics/looks of a TMF Mag model?
"The mag features all types. Since the mag features different photographers, each one has their own preference for models so it is impossible to define."
What is the main element/theme on Mark Henderson's Poolside spread that you really like? Was it more challenging to interview a fellow photographer than a model because both of you share the same interest and are more familiar with all the technical aspects?
""Im not a journalist but I did find interviewing photographers easier. I just asked what I personally wanted to know and the sort of things I would like to talk about."
When you first met Max Rhyser, what's your first impression on him? Does he have reservations during the shoot or he's more that type of model that's ready to sit down with the photographer and get things done? In general, how's the working experience with Max?
"I have shot Max twice. He is a great guy but made it clear during our first shoot that he did not want to do any full frontal. He was fine being naked but just did not want anything showing in the final shot. The main portrait shot was actually shot only a few weeks ago when I was in NYC."
We noticed that the first issue of TMF Mag contains previews of works/books of different photographers, do you envision TMF Mag to be a platform where photographers can share a preview of their upcoming work, book, exhibition? Or will every issue be more of a random mix of different themes?
"Exactly as you put it "a platform where photographers can share a preview of their upcoming work, book, exhibition". But it's for models as well. Even writers that maybe have a story idea that fits with the theme of the mag. The great thing with the digital mag is that links can take the reader directly to the model or photographers website or to Amazon where they can buy the book for example."
The main element on Walter Kurtz style that you really admired or really see as inspiring.
"Besides being a really great guy to talk to and give advice I love his simple/classic style. A bit like me he kinda fell into this career and things just gradually took off for him. And like me he gets bored easily and will move onto experimenting with something new."
Tell us more about TMF Magazine. Will this be a weekly or monthly mag and how can readers subscribe or access the issue of TMF Magazine?
"This first issue costs $3.99. The mag is in digital form only and is more than 100 pages of interviews and beautiful images from various photographers. When you view it online it has a similar feel as a regular magazine. You use the mouse to click and turn the pages and you can search the text and zoom in. You can also download the original PDF to store on your computer or read on your iPad. I want to see how this first issue does before committing to anymore. The future of the project will depend on submissions from other models and photographers who want to be a part of it. You can buy the issue here: www.tmfmagazine.com, thanks."

None of the three seniors are regarded as NFL prospects.
But somehow, some way, they have gotten the job done for the Ducks, who led the nation in rushing (303.8 yards per game) during the regular season.
They've certainly earned the respect of Auburn All-American defensive tackle Nick Fairley, who will line up across from the Ducks in Monday's BCS national title game in Glendale, Ariz.
"They are very athletic," he said Thursday. "People say they are small, but they can move. I think it will work out to their advantage, especially the kind of offense they are running."
That cuts to the central point in this matchup. Oregon's no-huddle spread-option offense plays more like a sports car than a bulldozer with linemen using their quickness to gain positioning and leverage in an instant to create quick holes that lightning-quick running backs scoot through before the size of the opposing defenders becomes an issue.
Oregon's starting offensive line of left tackle Bo Thran (6-5, 281), left guard Carson York (6-5, 286), center Jordan Holmes(6-5, 300), right guard C.E. Kaiser (6-4, 290) and right tackle Mark Asper (6-7, 322) average about 6-5 and 296 pounds across.
It's not exactly hulking by college football standards, but not tiny either. Auburn's offensive line averages about 6-5, 307 pounds.
Auburn's defensive line averages about 6-4, 277. Fairley is 6-5, 298.
Factor in Oregon's collective quickness and the pace of the no-huddle spread –option and the size factor goes out the window.
"They do a lot of zone blocking, and they just find a crease and they exploit it," Auburn defensive tackle Zach Clayton said. "That's one of the things we're going to have to do is fill our gaps very well."
Auburn defensive coordinator Ted Roof said the Ducks are sound, if not complicated upfront.
"I think that you don't get a whole bunch of different protections, but their very, very sound," he said. "And they have got answers for everything. They're very well coached and they know what they're doing."
Oregon running back LaMichael James said the size factor has proved to be overrated.
"Have you ever seen any other team we played?" he asked. "Everybody's bigger than us. So I don't think that really matters. I think we are probably the smallest team in college football. Size doesn't matter at all."
Holmes said he and his fellow Oregon linemen can tell right away then the opposing defensive line has hit the wall.
"It's usually the body language," Holmes said. "They have their hands on their hips and got their heads down and you kind just see that they look really tired."
From there, composure begins to decline, frustration sets in and then comes the bickering.
And it's not as if Oregon's linemen don't get tired, as well.
"But we realize that they are probably a lot more tired," Holmes said, "and we just have to push though it."
All the way to the end zone.

First Regional Open Source Software Conference ended in Kabul
Afghanistan hosted a four-day Regional Open Source Software Conference - Central Asia (ROSCCA) from 15 to 18 October 2011. The first such initiative in the country and in the region, the Conference was jointly facilitated by the Afghan Ministry of Communication and Information Technologies (MCIT), the National ICT Alliance of Afghanistan (NICTAA), along with Open Source Afghanistan and UNESCO's Kabul Office.
The former Minister of Finance, Ashraf Ghani Ahmad Zai, praised the organization of ROSCCA and stressed the critical importance of the use of open source software (FOSS) in countries like Afghanistan. "If we consider the cost of one operating license (US$ 200), then Afghanistan needs to spend US$ 3 billion for 15 million users," he said. "That is a huge cost for the country that suffers from serious economic problems and struggles with poverty."
Experts on information and communication technologies (ICT) from Afghanistan, India, Iran, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Pakistan, Tajikistan and USA attended the Conference in order to develop a shared understanding of the issue and to form a regional open source alliance. The different panels that took place during the Conference focused on such issues as: Innovative FOSS Technologies, FOSS for Organizations, and FOSS for Socioeconomic Development and Education.
Amirzai Sangin, Minister of Communication and Information Technology of Afghanistan, highlighted the Afghan government's achievements in the field of communications and information, and stressed the importance of open source software for his country, affected by a long lasting war, in order to ensure cheap access to Internet and IT services. "We have paved the way for wide access to Internet for Afghan population by deploying fibre optic across the country. This objective will be achieved through the use of open source software," said Mr Sangin.
The Open Source Conference in Kabul was in line with Afghanistan's outstanding achievements in the field of ICT and communications. According to the MCIT statistics, over 80% of the Afghan population is now covered by telecommunication services; there are more than 17 million GSM users in the country with the population estimated to be around 30 million.
During the four days of the Conference, participants shared their experiences and country reports on the use of open source software and formed a regional open source alliance. They called on policy makers, civil society and media to pay more attention to awareness raising about open source, and to take specific steps in order to facilitate wide use of FOSS technology in the future.
The Conference concluded by an evening event in the historic Babur garden of Kabul, where participants enjoyed Afghan local music and a photo exhibition.

Pastor Otis Clark is a living example of the power of the Holy Spirit -- and he has more than a century of experiences under his belt.
Clark, the world's oldest evangelist, knew the original members of the Azusa Street Mission in California and was even baptized at Azusa Church.
Decades later, he's still going strong. And at 107-years-old, he says his goal now is to keep up with the "young folks."
Click play to watch Clark's comments on his life and how he continues to work for God.
Associated with History
Clark was born in 1903, before Oklahoma was an official state. In 1921, he moved to California to escape the Tulsa race riots.
While in Los Angeles, Clark began to live a "fast" life, working for movie stars like Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, and Charley Chaplin. But at 25, he was tossed in jail for bootlegging whiskey.
Jailtime eventually led him to Christ, and he was baptized at Azusa Church in 1930.
The church is associated with the Azusa Street Mission, started by William J. Seymour in 1906. Out of that group came a massive revival and the Pentecostal church. Clark was given power of attorney over the Azusa Street Mission.
Living Strong
Clark took his first mission trip to Africa at age 103 and returned again the following year. He plans to visit Jamaica in July for another mission trip.
The evangelist is in great health, takes no medications, and never stops making friends. He also continues to preach all over the world and says his source of strength can be found in the power of prayer.*Originally broadcast on May 21, 2010.

Oh so nice white wine
by Collins12123703
This has to be one of the best summer wines. It's light, fruity, and shimmering taste come alive when it's served really cold. I like to put mine in the freezer until it's about ready to form ice crystals. Perfect for sipping in the hot tub, on a sunny deck, or before the burgers or BBQ come off the grill. Works well with chicken, pork loin, fish, or light pasta dishes. It's sometimes hard to find, so when I do I buy as much as I can because I like to give it away to people who've never tried it. Everyone is amazed and love it. You will too.
A party in a bottle!
by Zano12414912
What a treasure this inexpensive, effervescent wine is! I found it by accident and now it's a staple at my house. It MUST be well-chilled and is best when drunk once the bottle has been opened. (Try Aveleda's Charamba red---excellent for around $5 a bottle. I've had worse for a lot more money!)
by TPA
husband liked it so of course i need to buy it again
Summer Delight
by Villardo11661562
Americans usually tend to mistake this wine when they compare it to other whites like fumee blanc or even sauvignon blanc. Vinho Verde, portuguese for green wine is a unique wine from Portugal, and must be only served very chilled, when its special, almost sparkling characteristic is most accentuated.It is a formidably refreshing wine you can drink on your balcony or deck by the pool.
Try it again.
by jarsen
Not sure yet. Give it another try.
Good value
by Satirev11280938
At less than $5, and when served well chilled, this is a fun wine - particularly in the sun on the deck in Summer. Decent house white.

Day 111 - Instability is a Decision
Here I am continuing with having a look back at my previous week and how I experienced myself during a time of 'business' at my work when new responsibilities were given to me and the department that I work in required to make preparations for a big sales promotion event.
For context, this was a week in which I had not remained consistent in my self-writing application and allowed myself to trust the mind and give in to the pattern of "I'm too busy right now. I have to focus on my projects and be ready for the problems that may arise during this event".
I have seen within myself this pattern and habit of going into my mind extensively before any upcoming event or any indication that I may have to make decisions or where I require to be responsible for something or have to direct something, and for a long time now I have not wanted to be self-honest with just how extensively I have given in to the point of fear throughout my life and how extensively I have abdicated my ability to make decisions, take responsibility, and in fact stand in a position of directing my life - to a point where I now notice that anytime I require to go somewhere that I have not been to before, or when I require to do something I haven't done before, or when I am given responsibilities and tasks that require self-direction, I will withdraw into my mind and first try to think about all the possible things that can go wrong and try to anticipate and in a way 'work through' the task from within my own mind - by simulating and creating the event and playing it through - as though doing so will actually prepare me for facing and directing the task in actuality.
This tendency has been a 'core habit' of mine for many years now and the root of this system, as with pretty much every other system/pattern that I am seeing within this process, was first established at a very young age and throughout the years 'evolved' within the various personalities that would develop as I grew older and created new personas and coping mechanisms to deal with the conflicts and frictions that would come up within me that I did in any practical way understand, let alone know how to effectively deal with.
For now, I will be writing about how this point specifically played out during this past week and walk the details how I allowed myself to fall within trusting the mind and believing that trying to anticipate problems and trying to simulate and work out the potential issues that MIGHT come up during the sales event and then setting things up based on my own mental projections was NOT an effective method of taking responsibility or directing my team as practically as I could have, and how my 'decision' to try to 'deal with' the anxiety and stress that I myself was creating influenced the performance and stability of not only myself throughout the last week but also the coworkers in my department.
Tonight I begin this series with self-forgiveness from the moment that I realized that I will need to make preparations for the upcoming event and to make certain that my department would be properly staffed and trained to handle the increased volume of accounts that we will have to process.
"It's promotion time" - Initial Reaction/Thoughts
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to, in that moment when I realized that the promotion event was coming, already access memories and experiences from previous promotions and in that moment of accessing memories of previous events, already anticipate and project that there will be problems and issues that will be difficult to deal with - and to simply accept this memory/experience without actually slowing myself down and actually cross referencing whether or not the previous promotion event was in fact 'filled with problems that were hard to deal with' like the way that I was seeing it within my mind, and to simply, without question, accept that memory/experience and already begin to tense up and anticipate business and having to 'deal with' many problems.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to, in that moment within playing back memories and experiences of previous promotion events, insert memories of having to work on 'problem cases' that I have found to be difficult and not enjoyable, and in creating these pictures and thoughts in my mind related to the upcoming sales event, already set myself up for not wanting to deal with 'problem cases' and already in a way reminding myself and programming myself to become irritable and upset when and if such problem cases arise.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to, in that moment of simply accepting the picture/memory/experience of not enjoying working on 'problem cases' and thus defining myself as 'not enjoying working on problem cases', set up and associate a negative experience to problem cases or instances where things did not get done correctly and require to be fixed within a certain period of time.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to, within setting up a negative experience to for when and if something goes 'wrong' with an account, also create the opposite polarity of 'positive experience' when things are going well and cases are done quickly and smoothly and there are no problems that need to be fixed, and in this defining myself as only enjoying my work and my expression of myself within my job when everything is 'going perfectly'.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to, due to allowing myself to access memories and pictures and experiences of the past in which I had to work on problem cases and did not enjoy doing it because I required to go outside of my comfort zone and really have to take responsibility as well as face the consequences of accounts that became 'beyond repair', to not see this upcoming event as an opportunity to change myself and my relationship/participation with 'problem cases' as well as facing the responsibility and consequences of cases that are done incorrectly and result in consequences that I am responsible for.
I see and realize that by going into my mind and automatically and without question simply accepting the memories and experiences of how I have experienced myself with problem cases in the past, and having defined myself as having difficulty and resistances in facing and dealing with problem cases, try to protect myself and prepare myself so that I do not have to face such issues, only separated me further from being able to really see who I am within such points and thus be able to practically and effectively support myself so that when such moments come, I do not again react within fear and resistance but remain stable and effective to the best of my ability - because by first going into the reaction and deciding already that I am not going to like facing such a point, I already abdicated myself from being able to stand stable in that very point and had already in essence blamed that point 'ahead of time' so that when and as a problem case would arise, I would already 'know' how to react and how to behave to/towards that point instead of directing MYSELF and standing stable within it.
Thus, I commit to slow myself down whenever I am already deciding that I am not going to enjoy something, that I am not going to do well within a task, or that I am going to 'react' negatively towards a point, and within this to STOP allowing my mind as memories/thoughts/experiences to script and direct my participation in my world and in my life because such reactions and pictures and projections are NEVER in fact real representations and as long as I accept those pictures and experiences as "who I am" I will remain directed by them.
Thus, I commit myself to assist and support myself to, when and as I see myself already 'making up my mind' or already creating the scenarios and future play-outs of a point, stop my participation in the mind by breathing, redirect my focus and attention to what is actually and practically HERE, apply self-forgiveness for the pictures/experiences/memories that came up or any thoughts or fears that linger, and physically MOVE myself practically in my participation within realizing that I am able to prepare myself effectively and practically by writing out such points, applying self-forgiveness, and working with what is in fact here in each breath instead of placing my trust in the mind and automatically and unconditionally assuming that whatever the mind shows me must be 'valid' and to thus make decisions and allow myself to be influenced and directed by the energetic movements and conclusions of the mind instead of developing myself HERE in REAL TIME, expanding my ability practically and building my self-trust and self-honesty the more I direct myself instead of allow myself to be directed by fears.
In the next blog I will continue with this series and cover more dimensions and events/realizations.

Lifestyle in Harney County
Living in this area has many unique features and opportunities. Harney County is termed the "high-desert" because of its elevation (Burns is at 4,200 feet), and hence the types of vegetation and landforms that present themselves in some areas are desert like. But the landscape and climate varies greatly in this area. There are forested, pine tree covered areas in the northern portion of the County with the Ochoco and Malheur National Forests. There are large sagebrush covered rolling hills and meadows in the bottomlands. Many lakes, streams, and the Alvord Desert are in the southeastern corner of the County. A large wetland area known as the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and then of course, Steens Mountain and other mountain ranges in the southern end that all add up to the tremendous and extraordinary variety of landscapes that are found here. These features add to the Quality of Life that appeals to a wide range of individuals. The variety of landscapes also produces innumerable Recreational Opportunities.
Other aspects that contribute to a positive and healthy lifestyle are the Educational Opportunities that are available through elementary, secondary and branch campuses of nearby institutions of higher education.
Recreation is a very important part of the lifestyle in Harney County. There are numerous opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with a wide variety of activities. Harney County has national forests, lakes, streams, mountain ranges, high desert habitat, wildlife refuge, Wilderness and other areas that provide many outdoor features to enjoy.

Other Recreational Opportunities Include:
Golf: The Valley Golf Club provides a 9 hole course and has an excellent ranking.
Birding is a favorite hobby for many that live and visit Harney County. The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge provides a host of different bird species and the opportunity to view them in their natural habitat. The Silvies Valley is also an amazing location to see thousands of migrating birds as they come through on their long journeys.

Yorkshire pair impress at Leicester
Keep tabs on England Lions - click here for all the breaking news from the camp, exclusive interviews, match reports and much more
Centurion Joe Root found good company in Yorkshire and England team-mate Jonny Bairstow as the Lions strengthened their position in the 22 overs possible on a rain-ruined third day against the New Zealanders at Grace Road.
The pair were selected in England's squad for next week's first Investec Test at Lord's and looked at ease against the Black Caps' likely attack this morning.
Root, of course, had the confidence of an unbeaten 105 – which followed 467 LV= County Championship runs in three innings this year – behind him.
Bairstow, however, looked similarly assured in reaching 45 not out as England Lions progressed to 315 for four, 30 runs ahead, at lunch on day three.
At that stage, it appeared the second-string would press ahead to set up a victory charge. However, rain fell regularly thereafter to end play for the day.
That meant the biggest worry for the tourists was a foot injury sustained by Tim Southee; the paceman will be rested for the remainder of this game, although he is expected to be fit for next week's opening contest of two.
It was New Zealand who enjoyed the better of the early-morning action, Trent Boult quickly having nightwatchman Chris Wright caught at second slip.
Another batsman in fine form this year, James Taylor, was not able to repeat recent efforts for Nottinghamshire, feathering behind a lifter from the impressive Boult.
Yet Bairstow immediately looked at ease alongside Root, perhaps more so than ever given they put on 231 for the White Rose against Derbyshire last week.
The former was typically pugnacious and positive from the off, striking his sole six to move the hosts into the lead.
Root, meanwhile, was again a picture of steadiness, mixing good running with a couple of advancing, lofted strokes off Bruce Martin to be seven shy of 150.
There was a brief interruption for rain in the morning, yet the break merely served to make the duo more comfortable as they played with increasing fluency prior to lunch.
The smattering of fans in attendance were not treated to added fireworks, though, as further inclement weather brought proceedings to a halt.

August 01, 2012 -- A new study gives important counterbalance to the recent recommendation by the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) against routine prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing for prostate cancer. The results of the new study, published online yesterday in the journal Cancer, found that if PSA testing (in widespread use currently) were widely rolled back, three times the number of men would be diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer that had spread outside the organ and is much more difficult to treat.
The study showed steep declines in the prevalence of men diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer around the time PSA testing came into widespread use in the United States in the early 1990s; this was especially pronounced in men over the age of 60.
Currently with widespread PSA testing, some 8,000 U.S. men are diagnosed each year with metastatic prostate cancer; the study calculated that number would be 25,000 if not for PSA testing.
The pitfall of widespread testing is over diagnosis of prostate cancers that lack the potential to shorten a man's life; the benefit is catching the disease early, before it has time to spread in men for whom that would occur. The Catch-22 is that currently there is no definitive way to determine which man diagnosed with early prostate cancer will go on to metastatic disease and which can live comfortable with his non-lethal tumor.
The senior author on the study, Dr. Edward M. Messing, was quoted in HealthDay as saying that the USPSTF recommendation on PSA testing this year, "wasn't a brilliant conclusion." Dr. Messing won a PCF Competitive Award in 1993 in the amount of $100,000 at the University of Rochester.
Dr. Stuart Holden, director of the Louis Warschaw Prostate Cancer Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the medical director of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, who was not involved in the study, said, "It's definitely true that wholesale screening using PSA leads to over detection and over treatment, but within that group of men there is a subset of patients—and not an insignificant subset, as shown by this study—that are surely benefited by PSA screening and treatment."
Dr. Holden also said that he and many other urologists who practiced medicine in the pre-PSA era, witnessed changes that are undeniably positive in the PSA era—meaning doctors see a lot fewer men diagnosed with late-stage prostate cancer that is likely to significantly shorten their lifespans. "It strikes me as horrifying to think someone would make a recommendation which might take us back to that era again," he said.
In fact, he said, China is now in a pre-PSA era, where much of the prostate cancer doctors see in that country has progressed to the advanced metastatic stage that is often lethal. Ultimately the answer, both in the U.S. and around the world, will be better science that can, with good accuracy, determine at an early state of diagnosis, which prostate cancer is destined to become lethal and which is so slow-growing that treatment can be avoided.

How to use a BBQ Rotisserie
Including a BBQ Rotisserie unit with your grill (gas or charcoal) is a great idea. If you're about to buy a new grill ask if they'd throw one in with the deal.
Usually less than $100 it's a very inexpensive option which gives fantastic results when grilling.
There are also several after-market universal fit rotisserie units that work fairly well too.
Most big-box hardware stores and BBQ centers have many to choose from.
One of the major advantages to rotisserie cooking is that larger cuts of meat including chickens self-baste as they rotate over (or in front of) the heat.
One of the best tricks is to make sure the food you have on the rotisserie spit is fairly uniform in size from one end to the other. That ensure it cooks evenly.
It's always a good idea to tie up or truss the meat with butchers twine to make this happen and to prevent chicken legs from flopping about.
Here's some easy step-by-step photo instructions below to get you started...

Step 4:
9 times out of 10 you'll need an alumimum drip pan under the meat to catch the drippings. I also use liquids in the pan to keep the meat moist while cooking.
You'll also likely need to keep the grates out of the bbq to make room for the spinning meat.

Alexa Ray Joel, 23, had taken several pills of the homeopathic medication Traumeel after a breakup with her boyfriend of several years, and was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City's Greenwich Village, according to various reports.
"She became worried about breathing, which is why 911 was called," one source told PEOPLE. Adds another source: "She was apparently distraught over an argument with her boyfriend."
Dad Billy Joel, who lives in Sag Harbor, N.Y., didn't go to St. Vincent's to visit his daughter during her hospital stay, but kept in contact with her by phone. Brinkley stayed at her bedside, according to New York's Newsday.

Dear all postgraduates,
I was wondering whether anyone's ever had the experience of disagreeing with the feedback from an essay? I'm doing English Lit postgrad. And on a recent essay feedback, I felt like there was more a disagreement of views than a serious critical blindspot.
Has anyone ever felt like this? Or am I at this stage inevitably less experienced and am most likely to be mistaken?
Thanks y'all for listening and I hope everyone here got into the postgraduate schools they wanted!

Yes, and I don't think there should be a problem with discussing this with the tutor/supervisor who marked the essay. I had an essay where I felt my tutor had marked me down unfairly for missing an issue, I raised the matter (constructively) with him, and he said he saw my point and raised the mark... You might not get the same outcome, but if not at least you should get a better understanding of where he/she thinks you went wrong. You will find of course that postgrad essays are generally marked a lot more critically than undergrad ones (or at least, I did).
Yes definitely. It helps to speak to other students on the course and ask them about their experiences. On my course we discovered that one particular marker really disliked a particular research method and would mark down everybody who used that method quite unfairly. I think you can discuss it with the marker, and if you still feel that there's a strong case you can speak to your department about requesting a remark.
Hey sj27 and Craghyrax,
Thanks for your replies, appreciate it. And it's nice to hear the experiences of others. Thanks again! xx
Well I remembered the days when I was doing my masters.

Like his predecessor, Colts rookie QB Andrew Luck is taking an active role in the local community.
Luck spent part of Tuesday morning speaking to a group of Indianapolis students as part of Quaker's NFL Play 60 campaign. He spoke to the kids about the importance of staying active and eating healthy and discussed different activities and meals – which includes Luck's favorite breakfast, Quaker Oatmeal – to help the kids meet their goals.
Following the talk, Luck and the kids took part in some football drills, mainly centered around throwing and catching the ball. Luck demonstrated the proper way to throw the ball: he explained the purpose of the laces, the proper way to grip the ball, and the proper footwork associated with a good throw. He also helped the kids with catching the ball and was clearly more in his element during these drills than at any other time during the event.
Following the drills, Luck spent a few minutes with the local TV and print media, answering a couple of questions – mostly about the Play 60 event – before enjoying some photo opportunities with some of the kids.
Listening to Luck speak, observing him as he interacted with these kids, was an educational, telling experience. We've been told by the experts and journalists that Luck is the second coming of Peyton Manning: in the locker room, in the huddle, and while speaking to reporters. And it's true, watching him during games, listening to his comments to reporters, it is hard to not notice the similarities. On this day, however, it was clear that Luck is a far cry from the polished, media-savvy, ready-for-anything personality that Manning had become during his time in Indianapolis.
While speaking to the children about their diet and exercise, he asked the kids to share some of their sports heroes. One of the first kids to respond answered, "the Patriots quarterback." Clearly, it was an audible for which Luck had not planned. Caught off guard, his chuckle and slight pause, before he reminded the kid that he was in Indianapolis, were the first of many glimpses of Luck's "untainted", unpolished nature.
It was on display again during the drills, when Luck, describing the best way to grip a football, likened it to holding a girl's hand, before pausing, and wondering aloud – as much to himself as the kids – "oh, do you guys even hold hands, yet?" But it was also during these drills that Luck was at his best: he was comfortable, engaging, and encouraging as he worked with the kids, and he looked every bit the part of a long-time coach.
The last, and perhaps best, glimpse of Luck's innocence came during the post-event interview period.
When I first embarked on my journey from Canada to Indianapolis, I was expecting a one-on-one interview, and planned on asking Luck a few (okay, nine) brilliant (take my word for it) football questions. Things don't always go as planned, however, and scheduling constraints turned our one-on-one into a normal reporter scrum (my first ever!).
Once I finally got over my own nerve issues – I was probably the only person at the event more nervous than Luck – I fired off my question. It wasn't one I had spent countless hours wording and rewording, but, at that point in time, after observing his words, his actions, his body movements that morning, it felt like perhaps the most relevant: "Is it harder to prepare for a room full of kids or an NFL defense?"
He thought and then responded, "Uh, I think the room full of kids! You gotta…you gotta keep their attention for awhile and, you know, it's good, though." I was as appreciative of his words as I was the way he spoke them: hands in his pockets, shuffling his feet. He wasn't paying lip service to the question, it was an honest, sincere response.
After the event, my colleague at Colts Authority (and also from Bleacher Report) Nate Dunlevy and I stood and watched Luck interact with the kids. We talked with each other about his innocence, his untainted way of dealing with the event, the kids. And then we were quickly reminded of the last quarterback of the Colts, and his once-thoughtful, sincere answers. We agreed, while this version of Andrew Luck was a breath of fresh air, it would likely not last long beyond the Colts first playoff loss.
Protection problems? This offensive line may have a few, let's hope that Luck can take a page out of the old quarterback's playbook before talking too honestly about them.

Staphylococcic Infections.
—Harkness and King32 said that when staphylococci are found in the genital tract, cultures almost always show them to be of the albus type. Although Staph. aureus is rarely found, when it is the infecting organism the suppuration is more extensive and profuse and there is greater constitutional disturbance than occurs with Staphylococcus albus.Pathogenic organisms are distinguished from contaminating organisms by the fact that they are present in large numbers, are the sole or predominant organism and give a profuse cultural growth.Staph. albus is the commonest cause of primary nongonococcic urethritis. Such infection is often venereal. The incubation period is usually longer than in cases of gonorrhea except when the infection is superimposed on urethritis chemically induced by the use of strong solutions for prophylaxis.There is a chronic type of staphylococcic urethritis in which the onset is insidious and the symptoms are mild;

Times Square in New York has been on edge every year since 9/11, but especially this year with an attempted terrorist attack taking place there in May. Thousands of police will be deployed tonight to watch over the million or so people expected to crush into the area for the annual ball drop at midnight to ring in the New year.
There's no specific threat, but this is the first big public event in Times Square since convicted terrorist Faisal Shahzad tried to detonate a car bomb there May 1.
At least 500 new security cameras will be scrutinizing the crowd, along with police towers and a hi-tech command center.
"They're always looking for suspicious activity with people, suspicious behavior, people that are not cooperative with them, especially on New Year 's Eve," Ann Hayes, Investigative Management Group, said. "You would be cooperative if you were going to go, you're going to be cooperative. So they're always looking for that, they're looking for things that just don't seem right."
Hundreds of radiation detectors will be dispersed throughout the area, along with devices that can detect biological contaminants. Crowds will be shepherded into closely scrutinized pens where backpacks and big bags are banned.
New York's attitude is you can never be too cautious. Six terrorist plots to attack the city have now been foiled since 9/11, and it's well-known terrorists like to hit areas where they can kill as many people at once as possible.
"We have really been intensely watching New Year's Eve at Times Square, almost with an anticipation of something happening because it does have such a high profile all over the world," Hayes said.
The city sets up 17 miles of barricades and numerous security entrance points hours before the event and has uniformed police standing every few yards across the entire Times Square area.

Basic Questions about stability
I'm about to start experimenting with aerial photography and have been researching parts/control boards for a scratchbuilt multi.
My main concerns right now are regarding stability. The following questions come to mind as I begin my research:
1) What format will offer the greatest stability (keeping in mind this will be used for photography)? I see 3, 4, 6, and 8 rotor configurations out there. Is one inhenrently more stable than the other? My intent is to mount redundant motors on each arm for safety, even if efficiency suffers, so it seems there must be a "sweet spot" from a cost/safety standpoint.
2) What is considered the most stable controller board currently? I see people using the NAZA, the Arducopter, Hoverfly, KKPlus, etc. Do any stand out as the most stable? I can envision needing to be able to hold hover and position and also utilize waypoints.
Thanks for any insights you can give me. I'm willing to do my own research but I just thought it might be good to get advice from you more experienced guys.
I am sure if you spent 20minutes scanning through the first few pages of this forum you would find hundreds of different opinions.
In my eyes its a waste of money. But for the newb out there, its the easiest way to get into the air. Especially if you expect your quad to sit still and photograph something, or if you want return to home with only a few clicks of the mouse button & a flick of the switch.

Thanks, I'll take a look at the Tube videos regarding 8 vs. 4.

I have an excellent idea. How about deciding not to participate in posts that upset you?
If it makes you feel any better, I'm a hobbyist who is turning his eye toward a possible way to increase his income and have fun at the same time with the skillset he was born with and has developed. I have no company, no financial backing. I'm simply willing to spend the necessary funds to experiment and see what is to be seen. It's a challenge for me.
Is that ok with you?
Common sense would tell you 8 motors is more stable than 4

Your sticking your nose into someone else's conversation with silly name-calling speaks volumes of who you really are.
I imagine that you're a kid, (else you wouldn't conduct yoruself this way) so I'm going to help you with something...
Most educational resources, whether a university, a high school, or a hobby forum encourage basic questions and discourage calling other peoples' questions "stupid". This is supposed to be a place of learning. The question goes far deeper than you were able to grasp. "Are there unkowns (to a new person) about 8 vs. 4"? "Is there a diminishing return as more rotors are added?" "Do 8 rotors provide enough additional stability to justify the time and expense?" You get the idea.
If I were you I would be very slow to pounce on new forum members who come in with sincere questions desiring to learn from the experience and knowledge of others.
Yes, it is "common sense" in theory that 8 rotors would be more stable than 4. However, that is "common sense" in a theoretical sense. I have always found it wise to consult with those who have gone before me to avoid costly mistakes and to avoid re-inventing the wheel.
But apparently this is "stupid" to you. I disagree as in my 55 years on planet earth I have helped many, many younger men with engineering concerns, music, vintage machinery restoration, and several other pursuits. Not once did I feel the need to lash out at anyone and declare their question to be "stupid". I've had the honor of helping them, and that has been a true blessing in my life.

LOL- this can be a prickly and unforgiving forum to post newb questions in some times.
But the OP asked politely, so here's the scoop on 4, 6 and 8 motors:
With 8 motors, you have redundancy. If you lose a motor, the device will continue to fly, which is helpful if you have thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment airborne and hope to get it down intact.
It is said that 6 motors can do the same thing, but less reliably. If you lose a motor on a quad, a crash will inevitably follow, unless the quad happens to already be on the ground at the time. Same goes for a tri (3 motors).
I don't think stability comes into it as much as redundancy and reliability. I've seen great video from quads as well as hexes and octos. Intuition would suggest that octos are most stable, but in fact, they can all be stable if properly set up and tuned. Many people find this to be their downfall however.
Subaru4wd is alluding to the fact that making money doing AP with multis looks easy, but in reality is quite difficult. Do some research and you'll find out why.
Good luck with your endeavor.

With fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) closing in on Iraq's capital city of Baghdad, President Barack Obama is weighing options on how to counter the insurgency.
He made it clear, however, that the Iraq government must take constructive steps to address the nation's political problems before there would be any U.S. military intervention. Such involvement, administration officials say, would exclude any boots on the ground.
"We're not going to allow ourselves to be dragged back into a situation in which, while we're there we're keeping a lid on things, and after enormous sacrifices by us, after we're not there, people start acting in ways that are not conducive to the long-term stability and prosperity of the country," Obama said from the South Lawn of the White House.
What's the latest from Christians on the ground in Mosul? Juliana Taimoorazy, executive director of the Iraqi Christian Relief Council, answers this and more on Christian World News, June 13.
Obama's announcement comes as the Iraqi government is urging citizens to take up arms and defend the country. Hours after seizing the ancient biblical city of Nineveh, Islamic insurgents released a chilling two-page document ordering all residents, many of whom are Christians, to comply with the Islamic Sharia rules.
Among them are the following:
•Women should dress decently. •No drugs or alcohol are allowed. •Anyone found stealing will have their hands chopped off. Juliana Taimoorazy, founder and president of the Iraqi Christian Relief Council, described the group's actions as "ethnic cleansing." "The Christians of Iraq are the Assyrians of Iraq, are the Chaldeans of Iraq and we are being ethnically cleansed in the northern part of Iraq," Juliana Taimoorazy, founder and president of the Iraqi Christian Relief Council, said.
Jihadists are capturing towns with little resistance. ISIS fighters posted a video on YouTube showing thousands of Iraqi soldiers and police in Tikrit with their hands behind heads.
The Iraqi government, meanwhile, said it's ready to fight back. "We must surround the al Qaeda-affiliated ISIS and wipe them out of the place they occupied," Iraqi Shia representative Ali al-Shelah said. Overnight insurgents, some of whom feel alienated by Iraq's Shiite-led government, gained more territory in their push toward Baghdad. "You can't have a military fix for this sort of problem," said Michael E. O'Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute. "It's fundamentally a political problem. "It's driven by the fact that Sunnis in particular feel totally cut off and disenfranchised to the point where many Sunnis, including some very secular groups, are cooperating now with these al Qaeda affiliates," he explained. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Obama's policies in Iraq for jeopardizing the progress the U.S. made in years of fighting. "It's not like we haven't seen over the last five or six months these terrorists moving in, taking control of western Iraq," he said. "Now they have taken control of Mosul. They're 100 miles from Baghdad. And what's the president doing? Taking a nap." What's the latest from Christians on the ground in Mosul? Juliana Taimoorazy, executive director of the Iraqi Christian Relief Council, answers this and more on Christian World News, June 13. The White House shot back, saying it is looking into all options, including military strikes, to help Iraqi leaders. "My team is working around the clock to identify how we can provide the most effective assistance to them," the president said. As Sunni jihadists set their sights on Baghdad, Iraq's neighbor Iran is reportedly sending Shia forces to quell the uprising. Meanwhile, Iraq's Kurds are also joining the fray, moving quickly to seize the strategic-oil rich town of Kirkuk -- all of which has analysts talking about the potential breakup of Iraq along religious and sectarian lines.

In recent years, both functional food and organic food products have become increasingly popular, not least due to the health benefits, or perceived health benefits, associated with them. Studies, however, have also shown that food carrying nutrition or health claims can sometimes be perceived as unnatural, especially if they have been altered to provide added nutrition or health benefit.
Researchers from Aarhus University (Denmark) and the University of Kassel (Germany) investigated how consumers of organic food react to a combination of organic and functional food, i.e. their attitudes towards and their buying behaviour of an organic product bearing a nutrition or health claim. While no significant difference was observed with regards to choosing a product with or without a claim, occasional buyers of organic food were more likely to choose an organic food product with a claim.

A new study has found that the absorption of the natural form of folic acid present in foods, called folate, relative to folic acid capsules, is better than expected.
Antioxidants are believed to have substantial health benefits and raspberries in particular are a good source. In fact, raspberries may have 10 times more antioxidants than tomatoes or broccoli. Further, raspberries contain some specific antioxidants that are found almost nowhere else.
A research group of the Animal Nutrition Unit at Zaidín Experimental Station, which is owned by the Higher Board of Scientific Research, located in Armilla (Granada), have demonstrated that leguminous plants can have beneficial effects on the body. Amongst others, eating these foods can reduce the probability of suffering cancer of the colon, as they reduce the replication ratio of tumour cells.

The 49ers will have a new full-time punt returner in 2013, as Ted Ginn reportedly agreed to terms Thursday on a one-year contract with the Carolina Panthers.
Kyle Williams, LaMichael James and Perrish Cox are expected to compete for the job to replace Ginn on punt returns. Williams began last season as the 49ers' punt returner when Ginn was unavailable. Williams averaged 13.0 yards on four punt returns.
Ginn finished the season with a 10.2 average on 32 punt returns. Ginn reached a contract agreement with the Panthers, ESPN reported. CSNBayArea.com reported in February that the 49ers had placed a low priority on re-signing Ginn.
Perrish Cox was the backup on punt returns, but he was not used in that capacity. As a rookie in 2010 with the Denver Broncos, Cox returned averaged 2.3 yards on three punt returns.
James worked in practices all season on punt returns after struggling in the exhibition season with three muffed punts and a bobble. The plays did not result in any turnovers. James will have an opportunity to win the job in the offseason and training camp if he becomes more comfortable handling punts.
The 49ers might also might invest one or more of their scheduled 14 draft picks on a player with experience returning punts.
Bay Area native Julian Edelman, a New England Patriots free agent, is also a possibility. Edelman had a 15.5 average last season on 17 returns last season with the Patriots. When 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was asked at the NFL owners meetings whether the 49ers were interested in Edelman, he told CSNBayArea.com that he would not comment on any prospective free agent.
James finished last season as the 49ers' kickoff return man last season. He averaged 29.8 yards on 14 kickoff returns. Williams averaged 27.2 yards on 13 returns, and Kendall Hunter had a 23.6 average on seven returns.
Both Williams (knee) and Hunter (Achilles) are expected to be ready for the opening of training camp after their season-ending injuries.

We Don't Cover Up Our Mistakesby Cecilia Wigley
A typical day includes going to a lot of meetings. I spend half of my time going to meetings. The rest of the time is spent writing reports, answering engineering questions, overseeing hardware building and reviewing documents.
What happens a lot is that in the middle of a test, the hardware doesn't function correctly. This has happened with jet engines and test conductors. When something doesn't work correctly we do a lot of brainstorming and try to determine what we can do to fix the problem. We try to do what we need to in order to stay on schedule, but not blow the budget.
Sometimes we have to admit that something didn't work and we have to go back and do it again. Part of our reputation is that we do not try to hide our mistakes and we own up to problems that occur. We provide solutions to problems and the worst thing is to try to cover up mistakes.
I have been involved in 10 successful missions and the patches and stickers on my wall represent missions that I have played some role in. The successes far outweigh the problems. But in the final outcome, we can say that we did what we needed to do, the scientists got what they needed, and we were part of the different aspects of a mission.

In a first-of-its-kind meeting between the Henry County Fiscal Court and Board of Adjustments, two magistrates said the issue of removing Roger Hartlage from the Planning and Zoning Commission was politically motivated.
In June, the court voted 4-1 to send a letter to Hartlage seeking his resignation within 30 days or he would be removed from the commission. That resignation did not come by the court's July 20 meeting, but the court voted 3-2 against a motion to remove Hartlage.

The current cold spell across northeast Florida and southeast Georgia
marks the latest in a series of cold air outbreaks that has resulted in the
coldest winter across our area since the winter of 1977-1978. In Jacksonville, the
average temperature for the winter months…considered to be December through
February… was 51.1 degrees. This was 3.5 degrees colder than the long term
average…and the coldest winter since 1977-1978 which saw an average
temperature of 49.9 degrees. As cold as this winter was… it only ranked as the
4th coldest Jacksonville winter on record. The coldest was a bone-chilling 48.9
degrees during the winter of 1976-1977, followed by the 49.9 of 1977-1978 and
50.2 in 1957-1958. Not to be outdone, Gainesville's winter average of 52.0
degrees tied the winter of 1962-1963 as their second coldest on record since
official records began in 1903… only slightly behind the 51.7 average in the winter
of 1963-1964.
Southeast Georgia also got in on the act with Alma recording their 5th coldest
winter…averaging 47.5 degrees… and Brunswick shivering through their 8th
coldest with an average of 49.7 degrees.
The very cold average temperatures are even more remarkable
considering the first third of the winter…December 2009… was actually warmer
than normal in many areas… Jacksonville saw a relatively balmy average
December temperature of 56.3 degrees. That was a full 1.3 degrees above
normal, and included a summer-like 84 degrees set as late as December 15th … a
high of 73 on Christmas Day… and only 1 day with temperatures dipping to the
freezing mark...31 on Dec. 29th. By contrast, January and February combined to
produce 21 days of freezing temperatures… and only one day warmer than 75… a
78 degree reading on January 24th.
While it will be tempting for global warming skeptics to point to this winter
as an argument against the warming hypothesis… and equally tempting for
global warming enthusiasts to view it as validation that warming is producing
more of the extreme changes that climate change models suggest might occur in
a warming climate… the truth is more mundane. A seasonal extreme such as we
have seen this winter is much more related to atmospheric oscillations that
operate on much shorter time frames and over relatively limited areas. In this
case, this winter was dominated by El Nino conditions which persisted through
the winter. El Nino winters are often cooler across the southeastern U.S. since El
Nino tends to shift the jet stream pattern farther southward… allowing more cold
fronts to pass and producing more clouds and precipitation that keep daytime
temperatures somewhat cooler.
The winter of 2009-2010, however, saw an additional player enter the
game… the North Atlantic Oscillation, or NAO. When the NAO is in its negative
phase… as it has been almost constantly this winter… atmospheric
patterns tend to favor colder and stormier weather in the eastern United States.
Combined with El Nino, this has led to numerous low pressure centers passing
much farther south than usual, bringing frequent bouts of precipitation including
several severe weather outbreaks, with very cold air pouring southward in their
wake. The same combination has been highly instrumental in producing the
crippling snowstorms experienced by much of the eastern U.S. this winter. While
these conditions have been extremely obvious due to their impact on major
population centers in the eastern U.S., they mask the fact that for Earth as a
whole, December 2009 was the 8th warmest December on record, while January
2010 was the 4th warmest.
As we head into spring, El Nino is forecast to gradually weaken, and longer
days and shorter nights will also contribute to gradually moderating
temperatures. For the time being though… it is likely that our current
atmospheric patterns will produce at least a few more unpleasant parting winter
shots to continue to make this one of the more memorable winters in recent
memory across our area.

One of the larger talking points about the Thunder the past few seasons has been the inconsistency of their starting five.
Because of Oklahoma City's prowess off the bench with James Harden, the Thunder's lineup of Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins was universally agreed upon to be one of the team's weaker five-man groups. The Thunder almost seemed to just be surviving those first six or seven minutes until Harden could check in and get things settled.
That's changed this season. And changed in a big way. Instead of a liability, OKC's starting five is officially its best lineup. They've played more minutes together than any other and have a net rating of +13.5, making it one of the best in the entire league.
Kevin Arnovitz of ESPN.com dove in to exploring the evolution of this lineup today:
Much of the Thunder's early offense results from Westbrook pulling up or attacking on the secondary break, or hitting Durant with an outlet pass. Particularly in transition, both Westbrook and Durant are always looking for a body that can precipitate contact. Only James Harden has used more possessions in transition this season than Westbrook, and three-quarters of Westbrook's possessions on the break result in a drive to the basket or a pull-up jumper.
In the half court, Westbrook is a master of finding seams and holes. Thanks to his accelerated first step, the slightest opening will do. To this end, Ibaka's ability to extend to the 3-point line has done wonders for this unit's spacing, and Westbrook is the primary beneficiary. Westbrook isn't dependent on high screens — say, relative to a point guard like Chris Paul — but he'll use them a fair amount depending on matchup. He's still a little too eager to take a dribble jumper coming off those picks, but he probably takes more flak than he deserves.
The Thunder are a team that will look to attack what they deem as mismatches. Ibaka will get the opportunity to post up when he's matched against a small-ball 4. Westbrook takes additional liberties against smallish point guards. Durant is almost always a mismatch for his defender, so there's not much of a variable there.
Not much more to add because Arnovitz certainly covered the bases extremely well. (Seriously, go read it all.) But I'll reiterate one of his larger points: The biggest change I see is that Westbrook is a much more aggressive force early in games, with Durant then asserting himself at any lull. It often seemed like the Thunder were sorting of waiting for Harden to check in to really get going last season.
Because the Thunder don't have a luxury on the bench anymore, the starters are coming off the blocks much stronger. Durant and Westbrook, who both completely hold the keys to OKC's success now, aren't pacing themselves anymore. It's about firing out and trying to build a lead the second unit can attempt to hold on to.
Maybe it's more of a philosophical change than anything else. Not that the starting five was taking it easy or something in season's past, but strategically, there might be more of a sense of urgency there than previously.

House Chair Says Personal Tax Filings a Private Matter
House Administration Committee Chairman Charlie Geren sent a letter to his House colleagues on Friday saying he would not accommodate a request by The Texas Tribune to release his federal income tax returns, and reminding his fellow lawmakers that they were "under no legal obligation" to do so either.
"I will not be providing mine to them," Geren, R-Fort Worth, wrote in a letter to the other 149 members of the House. "It is up to you as an individual to make this choice."
Geren's letter came the same day that the Tribune asked him for his last ...
