What do you get when you team Sportiqe Apparel with the NBA and the Grateful Dead?
A hip line of T-shirts that meld fashion and lifestyle for sports and music fans.
Sportiqe, which specializes in bringing fashion to sports enthusiasts, will launch the first Grateful Dead by Sportiqe collection of T-shirts in mid-April on Sportiqe.com. Distribution is also aimed at major department stores and better specialty retailers.
The capsule collection is a collaboration with Grateful Dead Productions and Rhino Entertainment, a division of Warner Music Group, and the National Basketball Association.
The line for men and women will feature Grateful Dead-inspired artwork with logos from the NBA teams, which will include the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat.
Jason Franklin, cofounder and coowner of Arizona-based Sportiqe, said the collaboration was inspired by his love of basketball and music. At age 13, Franklin watched the Lithuanian national basketball team wear Grateful Dead-inspired jerseys and warm-up apparel during the Olympics. The Lithuanian team was his second-favorite basketball team in the Olympics that year — behind the original USA Dream Team.
"This relationship with Grateful Dead Productions brings Sportiqe full circle" said Franklin. "These guys [the Dead] have fans who are quite possibly some of the most devoted music enthusiasts out there. We truly appreciate how much inspiration they offered the collection, and we believe it truly reflects their signature rocker lifestyle and look."
David Lemieux, legacy manager for the Grateful Dead, described the collaboration as a "perfect fit."
"We look forward to seeing this partnership flourish," said Lemieux.
The T-shirts will retail from $35 to $45.

"This is the fourth solo album from groundbreaking sound artist Pita (real name Peter Rehberg). His previous solo albums as Pita (all on the Mego label) have all been landmarks in electronic music. His sound ranges from furious to minimalistic, but always with the same uncompromising attitude. To be true to ones ideas when trends come and go is something admirable in every artist. Get Off is his most varied album to date. Apart from his solo work, he is also a member of several groups, notably MIMEO (with Keith Rowe, Rafael Toral, Marcus Schmickler, Jerome Noetinger and others) and Fenn O'Berg (with Christian Fennesz and Jim O'Rourke). He is also one of the persons behind the influential Mego label." (label info)

ASHEVILLE, N.C. Ben Alsup threw a one-hit shutout and Jordan Ribera had a homer and six RBIs for the Asheville Tourists as they rolled to a 6-0 win over the Charleston RiverDogs in South Atlantic League baseball Wednesday night at McCormick Field.
The RiverDogs (61-57, 22-29 second half) suffered their third straight loss.
Rivera broke a scoreless tie in the third inning with a two-run single off Corey Black (1-1), giving Asheville (76-46, 29-23) the early lead. He struck again in the fifth by lifting one over the right field wall for a two-run homer, his ninth of the year.
Two innings later, the Tourists loaded the bases on a single and a pair of walks, bringing up Ribera again. The first baseman smacked a single into left for two more runs to make it 6-0.
While Ribera provided the offense, Alsup (12-5) shut down Charleston. The right-hander started by retiring the first 17 batters in order before issuing a walk in the sixth.
The RiverDogs didnt get their first hit until the seventh inning, when Ben Gamel singled with one out. Alsup allowed one more baserunner, walking Ali Castillo in the ninth, but retired the next two batters to close out a spectacular pitching performance.

California state Sen. Sharon Runner, who left the Legislature in 2012 after receiving a double lung transplant and three years later made a dramatic return to the Senate, died Thursday, her family said in a statement. She was 62.
Runner, a Republican from Lancaster, died at home following respiratory complications.
Runner and her husband, George Runner, a member of the state Board of Equalization, were a powerful force in the California GOP.
They were the first couple to serve concurrently in the Legislature after Sharon Runner won her husband's Assembly seat in 2002, when he moved up to the Senate.

DETROIT -- The Michigan State hockey team is hoping an outdoor venue can change its fortune against Michigan Tech.
The Spartans take on the Huskies at 3:30 p.m. today in the Great Lakes Invitational semifinal game that will be played outdoors at Comerica Park.
MSU is 2-6-1 in their last nine, a stretch started by a pair of losses to Tech back in November.
Michigan Tech defeated Western Michigan, 4-0, last season to win the tournament for the first time since 1980 last year and hopes to be back-to-back champions for the first time since winning five consecutive from 1976-1980.
The Huskies (6-9-5) will be playing in their first outdoor game while MSU (5-9-1) has made two outdoor appearances, with a 3-3 tie against Michigan in 2001 and a 5-0 loss to Michigan in 2010.
The winner of today's game will face the winner of tonight's Michigan vs. Western Michigan game in Saturday's 7 p.m. championship. Both losers today will square off at 3:30 tomorrow.

A Shift In Momentum - The Truth 4 commentsJul 28, 2012 3:28 PM | about stocks: ARNA
In my weekly blog I have tried to discuss and understand why analysts and naysayers are doing whatever they can come up with to dissuade people form either understanding the science behind Belviq and why it is the superior weight loss drug to be marketed in over a decade.
Ofcouse our friends at Street.com continue to work an angle that just makes no sense. In their article yesterday http://www.thestreet.com/story/11642616/1/arena-pharmaceuticals-inc-arna-todays-featured-drugs-laggard.html?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO
they implied or just leave the "im" off implied that Arena was the reason the biotech sector was down yesterday. However, in the same article they indicate Arena was not even a significant mover as compared to the top biotech losers. This is not the first time they have run this article having done it on three occasions now.
So I ask a sincere question...WHY???
If you glean over the message boards for Belviq you can hardly make out a sane discussion on the boards anymore.
So I ask a sincere question...WHY???
The answer my friends is not blowing in the wind. I am here to state that those of you who suggest this is a massive plot to run investors away from Arena are spot on. Volume for the past several sessions has been at yearly lows yet the stock slips in price a little each day. If you look behind the curtain you will see that in 4 of 5 sessions the past week more money has flowed into Arena than out of Arena. So why does the stock not respond accordingly.
The most probable reason is that the retail investor is not trading because of continued FUD and some share holders are giving up. This move downward is a stabilization/quiet time in which the stock is taking a breather. Watch any stock and you will see that very so often a new base needs to be built. Our base is around $9.50. Lack of news from the company is being blown out of perception. The next conference call should take place in the ext 2 weeks. Just be calm if news does not come out until then.
While I am not a seer I will say that upside potential is much greater at this point. Additionally, given the lack of news and FUD being spread Arena shares are not doing badly. Taken as a whole selling at this price would be irrational behavior in my opinion.
This is my Truth and I am sticking to it. Until next week I bid you smooth sailing!

Alia Bano's engaging, if clunkily constructed play offers mainstream audiences a fascinating window into the experience of being young, single and Muslim in today's London.
Alia Bano's engaging, if clunkily constructed play offers mainstream audiences a fascinating window into the experience of being young, single and Muslim in today's London. The launch play of this year's Royal Court Young Writers Festival, "Shades" benefits considerably from Nina Raine's stylish production, as well as empathetic performances from a highly watchable cast.
The material's freshness is apparent from the first scene, in which pretty singleton Sabrina (Stephanie Street) attends a Muslim speed-dating session. Her gay best friend Zain (Navin Chowdhry ) has come along mostly to encourage her, but is also proving a hit with the ladies, which comes as no surprise to Sabrina: "You're liberal, you're an artist — basically white, but you're brown, perfect."
At its best, the dialogue is fun and zingy, and the play also lets us into the complex codes, expectations and restrictions of the world it describes. Perhaps too schematically, the characters represent the widely varying experiences (or, hence the title, shades) of British Muslim life today.
Falling for the devout, yet Western-dressing Reza (Amit Shah) forces Sabrina to consider becoming more observant (symbolized all too obviously by having her try on a hijab in the first act's final moments). By coming out, Zain has ostracized himself, but is still grappling with ways to turn his religious background into a workable moral code (most amusingly when he justifies taking ecstasy rather than drinking alcohol because pills aren't mentioned in the Qu'ran).
On one level this works as a slightly contrived, topical rom-com (Sabrina and Reza meet cute while working on a Gaza fashion show benefit), but by speaking with knowledge and compassion from (presumably) within the community she represents, Bano offers a counterpoint to depictions that demonize or exoticize Muslims.
Like so many of today's early-career plays, "Shades" feels televisual, but Raine adds theatrical interest by setting the whole production on a catwalk (designed by Lucy Osborne), with the audience on both sides watching each other as well as the action.
There's nowhere to hide on this stage, but each member of the cast rises to the challenge with performances of bracing honesty. Even Elyes Gabel manages to convince in the stock-baddy role of Ali, Reza's slickster best buddy, who also has designs on Sabrina. Matthew Needham makes a particularly strong impression in the less-than-promising role of Zain's white b.f. Mark.
Bano could easily get snapped up as a TV writer on the strength of this debut, but one hopes she'll keep exploring new ways to turn her fresh insights into theatrical form.

Ensuring your body receives proper nutrition will give you the energy to keep up with even the busiest schedule. Whether your profession keeps you constantly traveling or raising children doesn't leave much time to spare, planning and preparing healthy food in advance is worth the effort. You'll only need a few minutes per day to keep your body nourished and ready to face the world.
Stay Hydrated
Your body needs water to carry nutrients to its cells, making it is essential to proper nutrition. Allowing yourself to become dehydrated even slightly can cause tiredness and fatigue. Keep a water bottle with you at all times -- BPA-free, if possible -- and drink whenever you think about it. MayoClinic.com recommends men consume at least 13 cups and women at least 9 cups of water each day. Always choose water over sodas, sweetened teas and other sugary drinks, and refill your bottle whenever possible.
Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are packed with nutrients and always available. You can easily prep fresh fruits and vegetables to put in to-go baggies or bring canned ones. Alternately, stop by a nearby grocery store and pick up fresh fruits and vegetables while you're out. Always wash fresh fruits and vegetables with running water before eating them, even if that means the bathroom sink at the grocer. For variety, toss vegetables or fruits of several different colors together for a salad. Multiple colors are indicative of multiple types of vitamins. On a 2,000-calorie diet, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends four to five servings of fruits and four to five servings of vegetables daily.
Whole Grains, Nuts and Seeds
Breads, tortillas and other carbohydrate-rich foods are convenient for a busy schedule. Choose whole-grain varieties to get added fiber, which will help stave off hunger for hours. Pitas and tortillas freeze well and work with a stuffing of healthful ingredients. Cooked, refrigerated brown rice, quinoa and other whole grains make a healthful base for adding meats, vegetables or fish. If you're not at home, most convenience stores have a microwave to heat your grains. Whole-grain crackers make tasty, healthful snacks; portion servings in baggies to take with you. In addition, you can make grab-bag snacks with nuts and seeds. Try to eat at least six servings of whole grains each day and four to five servings of nuts and legumes per week on a standard 2,000-calorie diet, as recommended by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Meats, Dairy and Eggs
Cooking lean meat, fish and poultry requires a bit of extra effort, but it's convenient if you cook large batches. An easy method is to bake several servings in a roasting pan and portion the cooked meats into freezer bags. Also, you can buy canned or vacuum-packed meats from the grocer when you're away from home. Hardboiled eggs are another excellent protein source -- boil a large batch and take a few with you in a chilled container. For dairy, you're best off buying individual servings from the grocer when you're away from home; this eliminates the risk of spoilage. Yogurt, milk and cottage cheese are healthful things to try. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends 6 ounces or less of meats, poultry or fish per day and two to three servings of dairy daily on a 2,000-calorie diet.
Putting Together Meals
If you've got your easy, portable ingredients, creating meals isn't difficult. Example meals include salmon, spinach and plain yogurt, chopped fruit with almonds and shredded chicken breast with bell peppers in a whole-wheat pita. Prepare as much of your meal as possible in advance to save time and hassle -- small bags of sandwich filling, salads or cooked whole grains refrigerate well. Carry a small bag with basic utensils and seasonings if you'll be eating away from home frequently.
Healthy Restaurant Meals
If you must eat at a restaurant, you can still get proper nutrition. A few guidelines to follow include avoiding creamy soups, having the dressing or sauce on the side and saving at least half of your portion for later. In addition, most restaurants can provide nutritional information to make choosing your meals easier.

See "Maternal Psychopathology and Psychomotor Development of Children With GERD" by Karacetin et al on page 380.
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and GER disease (GERD) are common causes for consultation to general pediatricians and pediatric gastroenterologists. Neurologic impairment, repaired esophageal atresia, other congenital esophageal diseases, cystic fibrosis, hiatal hernia, repaired achalasia, or family history of GERD may increase the incidence and severity of GERD. Patients with such conditions do not constitute the majority of consultations, however.
Feeding refusal and feeding difficulty are terms used mainly to describe symptoms such as refusal to eat, uncoordinated sucking and swallowing, gagging, vomiting, or irritability during feeding (1). Although GER or GERD and feeding refusal frequently coexist, a relation between them has not been established. There is a report suggesting that reflux disease caused infant feeding difficulty; however, no prospective studies have proven causation and none have shown resolution of feeding problems with medical therapy for GERD (2). Higher incidence of poor nutrient intake, decreased feeding readiness, and food refusal in infants with abnormal pH probe tests compared with normal controls have been reported (3). Heine et al (4) found no association between GERD diagnosed by pH probe and feeding difficulty, except for infants who experienced excessive regurgitation. More recently, a double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter study showed no improvement in feeding difficulties following lansoprazole therapy compared with placebo in infants with suspected GERD (5).
Recommendations for treating infants with GER state that as long as the child is gaining weight and merely spitting up, there is no reason to intervene (6). Although this may be the correct approach for most cases, perpetuation or even worsening of symptoms may occur in the occasional infant whose parent(s) has psychopathologic issues that makes it difficult to handle the child's problem, even if clinically not relevant. How much parental psychopathology contributes to make GER progress to GERD and/or to feeding disorders in some cases is not clear. How to identify such parents early remains a challenge. Any practitioner interested in feeding disorders knows from experience that when parents repeatedly force-feed, feeding aversion is just a step away, and resolving feeding aversion is not easy.
The study by Karacetin et al (7) attempts to shed some light on the potential association or cause and effect between maternal psychopathology and children with GERD. The study presents important findings regarding the potential relation among maternal anxiety, force-feeding, children's response to force-feeding, and the like. Which is the chicken and which the egg? Our guess is that, in some cases, maternal anxiety and psychopathology may help convert GER into GERD, which in turn worsens maternal anxiety and psychopathology. In other cases, the infant's GERD triggers an abnormal response in a mother whose symptoms of anxiety would otherwise have been under relative control. One study in infants showed that large-volume feedings promote regurgitation, probably by increasing the frequency of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation (8). Severe reduction in feeding volume during an extended period (as an attempt to diminish regurgitation or vomiting), however, may deprive the infant of needed energy and adversely affect weight gain. Overfeeding more often than energy restriction is a technique used by parents in an attempt to secure adequate energy intake. Physicians are many times innocently responsible for inducing a feeding disorder by pressuring parents to feed their infants more often and in larger quantities to preserve growth.
ESPGHAN and NASPGHAN's excellent and thorough guidelines make no mention of maternal psychopathology in association with GERD (2). Doctors are more prone to indicate and parents are more willing to accept clinical tests and even a second round of tests, rather than psychological evaluation and treatment when such problems are identified. Before performing a second endoscopy, biopsies, pH probe, and/or multichannel intraluminal impedance and indicating a third course of double-dose proton pump inhibitors because of failure to correct feeding problems in a child with GERD, clinicians should remember this report and the few others on the topic, and consider referral to a psychotherapist for evaluation and, if necessary, treatment. After all, persistent GERD and feeding problems can be disruptive even to the most normal parents.

Smokers' polycythemia is characterized by erythrocytosis, a raised concentration of carboxyhemoglobin, and a normal or reduced plasma volume due to tobacco smoking (1, 2). The polycythemia may be absolute (elevated red cell mass) or relative (normal red cell mass). Vascular occlusive episodes may occur in patients with polycythemia vera (3) or spurious polycythemia (4), and cerebral thrombosis has also rarely been reported in patients with secondary polycythemia due to congenital cyanotic heart disease. However, there are no reports of cerebral thrombosis associated with polycythemia resulting from smoking. We describe the cases of two patients with smokers' polycythemia who had a

Eating Tour of Oceanside Restaurants
A good friend dropped in to stay in Oceanside for a week. He has traveled the world extensively and loves to eat. He eats more selectively these days including lots of salads, so he can splurge when he wants.
After surfing in the morning, he wanted to try Tin Fish near the Pier. It has great outdoor only dining and we both had grilled salmon. He had it on a salad and I had the sandwich. We saved 20% with the Bonus Card and he liked that. The fish was excellent and his desire to go a second time I guess expressed his feelings.
On an afternoon walk we stopped at Rock'n Baja in the Harbor where I had my favorite brew there, Dos Equis Amber on tap and my friend had an American beer. We had my favorite appetizer Tuna Poke which he agreed was excellent. You get 15% off with the Bonus Card
He loved the Stone Brewery even though he is not a gourmet beer drinker. We each got the 8 0z samplers and sat in the treed garden with other visitors for an enjoyable taste.
We visited The Flying Pig on Tremont on a Wednesday night and it was packed to the rafters with only one table available and no seating at the bar. We had a flat bread and a pastrami sandwich because they were out of Albacore and I would say we liked the place but the food was not exceptional.
Lunch at Dominic and D'Vino was a treat. We sat on the patio over looking the Harbor and I had one of my favorite beers on draft. I had a caesar salad with grilled chicken that was great and he had the same. The bread sticks soaked in a little garlic butter as a free taster were eaten quickly and the people around us were enjoying delicious looking pizzas. We also saved 20% on the food with the Bonus Card.
Thursday night we hit the street fair and I got my favorite the tri tip sandwich and he sampled the Greek food. I notice now that every food booth represents a different nation from Ethiopian to Jamaican. The dessert row of booths is the ultimate and we picked up a piece of key lime cake.
Finally we hit Breakwater Brewery and Sports Bar on a busy Friday night. I had the Beach Brown ale at 7.4% which was good but not as full as Stone beers but good if you are just beginning to get into the ales. I had an anti pasto salad that was great and he a small salad while we jumped into a fantastic pizza. We're evidently not big eaters and they serve a lot of food so most of the pizza came home.
There's a lot to do in Oceanside and dining treats if you seek them out.
Also see the site Oceanside Harbor Restaurants
Save 10% to 30% on most outdoor activities and lessons plus eating and drinking in Oceanside restaurants and taverns with the Bonus Card.
Get Surf Lessons near the Pier. Water is not cold with a wet suit which is $5 for two hours at Asylum on Mission near the beach and I supply the surf boards. See my site at Surf Boards Oceanside

American Express has been going pretty aggressively into synching cards onto platforms. I've already gotten a few bucks synching it to Foursquare, then my XBox Live account, for beating Halo 4 within a prescribed time limit, and most recently they're offering a $25 American Express gift card if you sync your card with Twitter and tweet out a few things. The first step of that process was to synch up your card but if you did it anytime after the first few days of the promotion, you missed it.
I tried to do it on the 12th, even though the promotion was to last through early March, and was told:
"Sorry, $25 Amex Gift Card is sold out. Check out more products & great offers at amex.co/faves"
Good job American Express, thanks for not mentioning it on the promotion page where you still ask people to sign up.
So what if you don't want to keep your card synched? What if you want to unsync your AMerican Express card from Facebook, Foursquare or Twitter? Don't look in Facebook, Foursquare or Twitter because you probably won't find it. Just go to this page [3] and click on the appropriate button. You will have to authorize the app (American Express) again but it'll send you to a confirmation page where you click another button and are unsynched.
I'll keep Foursquare synched but I desynched all the others. The last thing I need is my credit card synched to social apps, especially after finding out about Twitter's recent 250,000 user leak [4].

These shirts are a serious gamble. A few I own are long enough to be dresses, while some are too short. The sleeves on some are really wide and others are tight. When you find one that fits right, it's a very nice shirt. The colors are sharp, and it's comfortable and light.
I have green, black, yellow, red, brown, baby blue and silver. I'd advise against the Silver one. After some wear and washes it looks like a filthy white shirt.

I'm a big fan of this shirt, but not as much as i am of the classic crew. The fabric is light, comfortable, and sheer, but not so much that you need to wear a jacket over it to cover up :P The Summer Shirt fits my body type *6'1" 155 lbs* well, but is noticeably more slim than the classic crew. Personally, I find the extra length this shirt has nice, but this may be less than desirable to others. Overall, i would definitely recommend this shirt for anyone looking for something simple, stylish, and comfortable.

Shirt is true to size if you are a slender body type. Very soft and wears well. I wore it for 3 days this last holiday and it continued looking nice and fresh. Hopefully it will not pill like some of the other shirts I have from AA.

I'm 6'3 and pretty slender, so I usually can wear a medium. Unfortunately, this shirt seems to run a size smaller than it actually says, so I'm having to send mine back to get a large. I like the material of the shirt though. It's very lightweight, but feels like it could get holes pretty easily.

I bought one of these because I love the thinner shirts and the slim cuts of AA. I am very picky on the fit of a shirt and the neck really bothered me on this one. I feel it looks sloppy and way to big for me as I really like the neck to fit much tighter. Other than the sloppy look of the neck cut, I liked it.

I'm 6'3" 170 and have been buying these in L for a few years. They were fitted better a few years ago. The newer fit worse as they are larger and ridiculously long. Like 4-5" too long for me. The fabric has gotten thinner and cheaper feeling as well. Make sure you try these on before u buy 'cuz they all seem to be different, even tho they are labeled the same size.

It's a fairly standard t-shirt fit, nice and long (which is great for me). I love the cotton, it's very soft and light and I'm looking forward to wearing these this summer. The cut could be a little better, but I like it more than 90% of brands.
However, I advise sizing down from your normal AA size. I'm normally an AA Large, but I wouldn't wear one of these in sizes larger than a medium.

I've been purchasing these for a few years now... 4 years ago they were perfect, now they're cut different and rather awkward fitting. What a disappointment... It's a shame that they didn't make two separate versions of it or something instead of changing the shirt completely.

This shirt used to my end all, be all perfect T shirt. I have at least 10 of them. I recently purchased a couple of the new cut and the fit is really unfortunate... much slimmer, much longer (I actually didn't mind the length), wider sleeves with weird gathering around the pits. It's pretty much a different shirt. If you've never had one of these, give it go... but if you've already got a few, be warned, they're very different. I'm extremely sad that what I once considered to be T-shirt perfection has been ruined. Why not just spin off a "slim cut" version and leave the original alone?

I have a closet full of these, that I have purchased over the years, however, I recently purchased a new batch, and they are super long, way longer than the same items I have already. Sleeves are also a different cut, too loose. I am returning to the store I bought them. I thought I was buying the same, but there is definitely a difference.

I am medium and always order medium, but all five of the black tees i ordered last time were waaaaay bigger in size than all my previous orders, yet still labelled medium. So I had to return them all. Please AA, sort out the reason why your sizes fluctuate so wildly!

I'm 6'3 and slim and it's VERY difficult to find a tshirt that fits well. This is it. I will buy no other T-shirt for the rest of my days if this one stays around. It's long but not designed for wide folks. PERFECT. Much better fit for me than their normal T, which is still good, but this one is.. as I said - PERFECTOMUNDO.

I love these shirts they are comfy and fit well on me. They seem to be softer than the 2001, but the stitching around the neck came undone after only a few wears. This has happened with other AA shirts too, some of which I never even got a chance to wear.....I brought them home and noticed that the stitching was coming undone. Very disappointing considering the price.

not one of my favorites, ive bought two shirts now that had seem issues where one sleeve was longer than the other. This shirt is also very long. im 6 foot 170 pounds and there is still too much length with a medium. They need to be more consistent on shirts they sell. you never know what you are getting.

i love this shirt, it'll be too long for some people, but i like them long, it fits really well on the chest and waist. the only flaw i can think of is the sleeves point out a little bit at first but i'm sure with a few washes they'll go down.

i bought a medium of the heather grey which i found the quality very good, a high quality and thin material t-shirt which fitted me nicely. i then received the same shirt in black which was so small i could barely get it on, it felt like one of my skin tight base layers so i had to return that.
so a great t-shirt but the sizing is a bit hit n miss.

When i first bought a couple of these tees over a year ago, in the fantastic red and kelly green colours they fitted very well and still do. The long slim body was matched by fitted sleeves making for a flattering streamlined athletic silhouette, showing off a lean waist and making a good show of modestly muscular arms.
Unfortunately in the last couple of orders the tees, though still with the same long slim cut and soft fabric have baggy/square sleeves. This is such a shame as i loved the way they used to fit. The wide sleeves look daft and out of place with the slim fit of the rest of the shirt. I notice atleast a couple of other posts commenting on this difference in cut from how the 6401 used to be. It was the slim fit of the sleeves that used to make this tee superior to the 2001 (though the long body still makes it win in my opinion - i'm over 6 ft), and also worth paying that bit more than other manufacturers basic tees.
Now that the cut has changed and the uk price put up to 16 (i know, you in the us have it so cheap comparatively!), i'm just not sure its worth it any more. I'd pay 20 for the old cut, my favourite tees ever, which is why they're worn out - if only the replacements were as good.
in closing the original cut ranks a 6/5 stars while the new cut of the sleeves and price hike decrease it to only 3

BLACKMAN TOWNSHIP Thanks to the Citizen Patriot for its full-color photo and front-page article on teacher absenteeism. I plan to use it with my students to show how statistics can be skewed in an article to fit the agenda of the writer.
The article stated that teachers are contractually allowed an average of 12 days out of the classroom per school year, but only use an average of eight. So, why didn't the newspaper write an article praising Jackson teachers for saving their districts nearly $1 million per year by not using their allotted sick days, instead of running a slanted, derogatory article about how many days are used? What does that say about the agenda of the writer?

Firefighters rescue elderly woman from fire
88-year-old woman survives house fire
Firefighters rescued an 88-year-old woman from a burning home early Sunday morning.
Fire crews responded to a residential fire in Southeast Albuquerque after a neighbor reported seeing smoke coming through the roof.
The woman tried to get out the back door but couldn't get it open. Luckily, firefighters got her out safely.
"Once we opened the door we heard her mumbling. At that point, the smoke started to clear, and we could see her silhouette in the smoke," Albuquerque Fire Department Capt. David Mowry said.
The house was not equipped with smoke detectors, and officials said the fire may have been caused by combustible items placed too close to a fireplace.

'Snowmaggedon'? Nope. Just the Opposite : Discovery News
Snowstorms have grabbed all the headlines, but it's actually been getting hotter. Is it global warming?
- There were actually more extra-warm days in the last two days than extra-cold winter days.
- The cold weather could be explained by the North Atlantic Oscillation, but the warm weather is part of a long-term warming trend.
Just in time for winter, new analysis shows that even though headlines in the last two winters might make you think we had intensely cold seasons, the truth is just the opposite.
In fact, there were actually more especially warm than especially cold winter days both seasons, new analysis shows.
"In the last couple of winters, there has been an inordinate amount of coverage of cold conditions in many places, and also questions about what these cold extremes mean for climate change," said Alexander Gershunov of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. His team wanted to look at whether the actual temperatures backed up all of these news reports.
"We focused on the last two winters that were notoriously cold in certain places, especially parts of Europe and Siberia and the eastern, especially southeastern, US," Gershunov said.
The team examined temperature records throughout the northern hemisphere going back to 1948 and compared the coldest and warmest five percent of days in each of the last two winters with the long-term trends.
"The strongest extremes of the last two winters were actually not cold, they were warm," he said. "The warm extremes in many places were unprecedented. They were much more widespread, and covered a lot more of the northern hemisphere than the cold extremes did."
While the cold extremes for the northern hemisphere for the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 winters ranked 21st and 34th, respectively, the warm extremes ranked 12th and fourth, according to the findings, which will appear in Geophysical Research Letters.
"The cold extremes were prominent, but they were not unprecedented," Gershunov said.
The researchers also found that the cold weather could be explained by the North Atlantic Oscillation, a natural climate cycle like El Niño which produces cycles of warmer or colder weather in North America and Europe. Indeed, were it not for ongoing climate warming, the oscillation would have generated even colder temperatures, Gershunov said.
NEWS: Top Snowstorms in History
In contrast, these climate cycles did not explain the anomalously warm days. "The warm extremes were only consistent with a long-term warming trend, which we can also see very clearly on this record," Gershunov said.
Climate swings occur over many timescales, agreed Anastasios Tsonis of the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, including those created by the oscillations. "These swings are natural," he said. "The overall warming has not stopped."
Heavy snows such as "Snowmageddon" or "Snowpocalypse" which hit the eastern US and Canada captured news attention. But these also reflect no reprieve from climate change. "It's wrong to equate snow with extreme cold," Gershunov said. "It never snows when it's really cold."
"I think what our results clearly show is how natural climate variability and regional extremes should not be confused with long-term trends that involve the entire globe," he said.

NIAGARA FALLS – A 20-year-old contractor working on construction of the new Greenpac Paper Mill project at Norampac was seriously injured Thursday morning when his leg became trapped between two large steel rolls that were being installed.
The man, who has not been identified, was working for an outside contractor installing the new rolls for the paper machines when his right leg became trapped between the rolls, said Niagara Falls Fire Department Battalion Chief Gregory Colangelo. Greenpac Mill is a division of Norampac, being built behind the plant at 4400 Royal Avenue.
"We got a call at approximately 9:30 a.m. for man trapped in an industrial accident. When we got there a man working as an outside contractor in the new paper mill had his leg trapped between two large, steel rolls. With help from the other outside contractors who were there we were able to use a crane to get him out of there," said Colangelo.
The man was taken to Erie County Medical Center.
Colangelo said the man did not have his leg amputated, but was seriously injured. Colangelo said it is not believed to be life-threatening. His condition is unknown at this time.
Norampac is a Canadian company which manufactures cardboard containers. The 250,000-square-foot Greenpac Paper Mill is being built on 18 acres of land adjacent to Norampac and will manufacture lightweight linerboard made from 100 percent recycled materials.

I seem to be having an identity crisis, although I hesitate to call it a crisis, since it's not causing me any stress or anxiety. In fact, it's more like a coming-out, a celebration of selves.
Like the perfect storm, this identity carnival came about through a rare combination of circumstances, the most obvious one being my involvement in "Fresher Ahi." As you may know from reading last week's column or from the extensive publicity we've enjoyed, I'm one of three actors who play a total of 16 characters. And what a crazy collection of characters it is!
Six of these local folks are mine. Actually, they're not all local; I play Melinda, one of two Brits who have joined the Ahi ohana through marriage. It's my first time playing an Englishwoman, so I've been practicing my British accent in everyday life. Only I don't want anyone to hear me, so I just talk to myself. I'm getting used to the strange looks I now get at stoplights.
The rest of my people speak in various degrees of pidgin. That's my native language, so I'm much more comfortable with Auntie Chin, the dragon lady who roars but doesn't bite. She is what I will probably be in 20 years or so, assuming I find another husband to bark at.
And there's jumpy Jeanette, the little Asian girl in love with stoner Jesse (played by Derek Nakagawa), and Ilona Flavin, the well-off widow who is the former girlfriend of Daddy Alan Ahi (also played by Derek) and hopes to seduce him away from Mommy (Francis Tau'a). I also play Jody, the flamboyant drag queen. Oops, I mean, gender illusionist.
But my favorite role is that of Roland "Bang Bang" Macadangdang, a diminutive mixed martial arts fighter. Roland is full of bravado (some might use a different word), a champion in his own mind. When I'm in Roland's rubbah slippahs, I get to poke fun at all the testosterone-driven disco kings that my girlfriends and I would studiously avoid at the Foxy Lady or Spats, the kind whose pickup line consisted of two words: Get chance?
Months ago, when I learned that I'd be playing multiple roles, male and female, I decided to shed my long hair in order to portray all of these characters convincingly. Janice, my regular hairdresser who has done wonders with my thick Okinawan hair, referred me to Roland at Vegas Hair for the big cut. Fortunately, Roland Vegas has nothing in common with Bang Bang, beyond their first names. Although "Fresher Ahi" was the impetus for my haircut, Roland V's focus was to give me a new look that would complement my lifestyle beyond the play.
Complement means to complete or enhance, and that's just what Roland did. Cutting my hair was a major milestone for me, a transition from widow to independent woman. He understood my motivation and my apprehension, and gave me the perfect hairstyle. I feel renewed, fresh and sassy. And younger.
So the new me and all six of my Ahi selves have been spending a lot of time at the mall. "Fresher Ahi" is a Maui Academy of Performing Arts production and is being presented at MAPA's Steppingstone Playhouse in Queen Ka'ahumanu Center. With our intensive rehearsal schedule, QKC has become a second home. Every time I go to the food court or the drug store downstairs, I see people who could be Ahi family or friends. There's always a Bang Bang or two at the bus stop, an Auntie Chin at the farmers' market, an Ilona laden with Macy's shopping bags.
Derek and Francis created these characters from real life, and even though I had nothing to do with the playwriting, I feel like I own them. Over the past month and a half, I've spent all my spare time memorizing lines and analyzing roles, immersed in an Ahi state of mind. I've developed a sort of multiple identity disorder, going through my day in various personalities.
Melinda isn't the only one who gets stared at in traffic, as I use my drive time to rehearse lines and practice character traits. I try not to let Roland get behind the wheel, though. Not only is he prone to road rage, he's too short to drive my car.
With only two days left before opening night, I'm already dreading the inevitable post-show depression. I always feel a huge letdown after closing a show, more so with plays than solo performances. Of course, that won't stop me from having the time of my life and relishing every moment of the next three weekends.
But I'm sure going to miss my Ahi selves. Maybe I'll keep some of them around. After six years of widowhood, it's kind of nice to have company.

Honorable Mentions:
Persona 4, Golden, Pokemon Black White 2, Warriors Orochi 3, Dynasty Warriors NEXT, Ragnarok Odyssey
Notes: These are games I'd like to include, but either haven't played enough of, are remakes of older games, or Musou games which I don't really want to include because they are in fact pretty simliar to earlier Musou games. Well anyways on to the #10-2
Resident Evil 6/Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2:
This one's a tie cause in a way I feel these two kind of go together. They both have their share of misteps and are both hated by a lot of people (though for different reasons), but I still had a ton of fun with them. Still going for that RE6 Platinum, and maybe for Mk2's too sometime.
Final Fantasy XIII-2:
This was the game I wanted the most this year. Preordered the CE. couldn't sleep the night before it was released, OCD about getting it on day one, etc, etc. It was good, but a lot of things bugged me about it had a shit ton of plotholes (THAT FUCKING ENDING) and its combat was really unbalanced. That said it was still a wonderful game, and I still had a ton of fun with it. The CE was also worth it cause the soundtrack was amazing.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2:
If Tekken Tag Tournament 2 taught me one thing it's that I'm actually good at Tekken even if i still have no idea how to play it. It has a ton of content to unlock way too many different characters to play as, and so many different ways to customize them. There's enough to mess around with for even just a single player not to mention how much you can get out of it online. Though the more I play games like these I realized ranked matches just arent my thing (at least in Tekken) it's still a blast to play online with friends.
Atelier Meruru:
I liked Atelier Totori for about half of the game then stuff kind of just stopped happening, and the game started to get boring. Meruru fixed this there's always something to do, always events happening in town. It never gets boring like Totori did. In fact there's almost too much going on at sometimes. Every so often I'd find a new event happening whenever i stepped into a different area in town. The battle system was also upgraded, and it has some of the most beautiful cel shaded graphics this gen, which is pretty impressive considering this games budget. All the pink and lolis don't hurt either.
SSX really surprised me. It's one of those types of games you just don't see this gen let alone be published by EA. It really feels like an extreme sports game from the PS2 era and not 2012. Which to me is a good thing. It's over the top, ridiculous, and just fun. We need more games like this honestly. Glad I decided to get it. There's also a ton of content theres over 150 different drops on about half that many or so slopes. So theres enough to keep you playing it for quite awhile not to mention beating your friends scores which will even get you credits in game. Probably my favorite sports game this gen (unless you count DoAX2 >_>)
Lollipop Chainsaw:
This game would be higher up if it had more content. I love pretty much everything about it it's artstyle, its sense of humor, it's characters, soundtrack, story. It was all great. Suda 51 has become my favorite game designer this gen, and this did not dissappoint. However it was only five hours at the end i was left wanting more. Still overall it was a great game and worth the money i spent on it.
Tales of Graces f:
As much as I like the Tales series Vesperia was to me a dissapointment. It was still a good game, but it's combat just felt bland and boring to me. It was just Abyss's with a few new bells and whistles, and to me Abyss was and will always be better. Graces however rebuilt the battle system into something that I really liked. It was nice to see the series try something different, and while it wasn't perfect it was still really enjoyable. It felt a little more restricted than past entries in the series, but it's combat, and it's characters (most of them anyways, Sophie can go to hell) made it shine.
Mass Effect 3:
I know I complained earlier in this blog about FFXIII-2's ending, and ME3's (originally anyways) wasn't much better, but the ride getting there was fantastic. It did everything I (read I not YOU) wanted the last chapter in the trilogy to do. You got to see how Shepard's relationships with her squadmates played out. I really enjoyed seeing the how things ended up with Garrus and Liara in my playthroughs. The game made me cry many times throughout it. Even if the original Ending wasn't that great I still thought it was worth it, and still a great experience.
Persona 4 Arena:
When I heard about this game my brain basically exploded. My favorite RPG is getting made into a fighter (my second favorite genre) by the people who made Guilty Gear/Blazblue. Anyways it was great, and even kind of taught me how to play 2D fighters which i was never very good at. It had a good story with all the familiar characters a fun (if somewhat unbalanced) battle system. I enjoyed it a lot anyone who likes Persona 4 should definetly pick it up

The Thomas Chevrolet Tournament, or now the Thomas Automotive Family Tournament, is usually filled with talented wrestlers, and it was no different this year at Bedford.
Most of the weight classes were deep, especially at 103 and 112, where the Tyrone wrestlers were finding the path through the tournament was a dangerous one.
Garbinsky lost to Blairsville's unheralded Adam Weinell, 4-3, Friday night in the quarterfinals. It was his first loss since suffering a 10-4 setback to South Western's Cameron Throckmorton in the finals of the rugged King of the Mountain Tournament.
Garbinsky responded with three close decisions in the consolations, including a 4-2 win over Bedford's Trey Easter, just to get a rematch with Weinell in the third-place finals.
This time against Weinell, who was 17-16 as a freshman last season, Garbinsky earned a 4-2 decision.
Jefferson-Morgan's sixth-seeded Brian Scritchfield and Fort Cherry's top-seeded Andrew Lucarini, both of whom were Southwest Regional Tournament qualifiers last season, met in the finals. Scritchfield, who beat Weinell, 9-4, in the semis, did most of the wrestling, earning a 17-0 technical fall in 4:35.
It was expected Schopp would get another shot at North Star's Joe Lascari, who beat him in overtime in last year's Thomas finals. But Schopp suffered a 2-0 loss to Bedford's Cory Thomas in the semifinals.
Schopp came back with a 4-1 win over Chestnut Ridge's Brandon Berkey in the consolation semis and then slapped together a 15-0 technical fall over Tri-Valley's Brandon Bordner.
When Claysburg-Kimmel's Cody Feathers opted to drop to 130, that weight class became much deeper. With Cambria Heights' Glenn Winslow on the other side, it also set the two up for another dramatic rematch.
Two undefeated wrestlers also met at 140 in Ridge's Gary Pfahler and Tri-Valley's Dan Koppenhaver. Pfahler, though, left no doubt as to who was better, earning his third major decision of the tournament.
And then we had the finals bout at 189, where Jefferson-Morgan's 2007 regional runner-up Ethan Virgili turned in a 7-2 decision over Richland's returning regional third-place Marco Pecora.
And, of course, the gymnasium was packed. Those who couldn't get into the gym could watch the finals in the auditorium on closed-circuit television. What everybody saw was the end of two days of rugged wrestling.
District duals begin
The team duals for Districts 5 and 6 should both be pretty interesting.
The District 6 quarterfinals begin tonight with eighth-seeded Penn Cambria visiting top-seeded Mount Union, second-seeded Huntingdon hosting seventh-seeded Ligonier Valley, and sixth-seeded Glendale heading to third-seeded Forest Hills.
Wednesday, fourth-seeded Claysburg-Kimmel hosts fifth-seeded Westmont Hilltop. Altoona heads to State College Wednesday for a rematch with the Little Lions, whom the Mountain Lions beat for the first time since 1998 earlier in the season.
All of the winners wrestle on Saturday at Tyrone's gymnasium. The two top teams in Class AA this year move on to the PIAA Team Duals.
Bedford and Northern Bedford are the top two seeds for the District 5 Duals. The best match could come Saturday morning, when Bedford will likely face rival Chestnut Ridge.
