Dark Flame (The Immortals #4)by Alyson Noël
"In Alyson Noel's most darkly seductive Immortals novel yet, Ever fights for control of her body, her soul--and the timeless true love she's been chasing for centuries. Ever is trying to help Haven transition into life as an immortal. But with Haven drunk on her new powers and acting recklessly, she poses the ultimate threat--exposing their secret world to the outside. As Ever struggles to keep the Immortals hidden, it only propels Haven closer to the enemy--Roman and his evil companions. At the same time, Ever delves deeper into dark magick to free Damen from Roman's power. But when her spell backfires, it binds her to the one guy who's hell-bent on her destruction. Now there's a strange, foreign pulse coursing through her, and no matter what she does, she can't stop thinking about Roman--and longing for his touch. As she struggles to resist the fiery attraction threatening to consume her, Roman is more than willing to take advantage of her weakened state--and Ever edges closer and closer to surrender. Frantic to break the spell before it's too late, Ever turns to Jude for help, risking everything she knows and loves to save herself--and her future with Damen ...

Let the Bill Cowher rumor brigade officially start. The first two 2007 Cowher rumors involve the New York Giants and the Carolina Panthers.
Former Steelers running back Jerome Bettis recently predicted Cowher would wind up in New York next year coaching the Giants:
Appearing on the NFL Network's "Total Access," Bettis said, "I really think he'll be coaching next year, and I think he'll be coaching in New York… That's my take on it and just thinking about the type of team he fits in good with, the Giants are definitely one."
Although a little animosity eventually came out of the deal between player and coach, don't forget Bettis was the one who officially predicted on a TV pregame show last year that Cowher would leave Pittsburgh at the conclusion of the 2006 season. So maybe Bettis knows something nobody else does.
The other rumors subject around a secret headshake involving Cowher and the Panthers, but these seem far-fetched at this point. Although Cowher lives in Raleigh, Carolina has a damn good – although overrated at times in my opinion – coach in John Fox. Unless the Panthers completely botch the upcoming season and the organization feels that Fox was a main reason, Cowher probably won't be donning black and light blue next season.

Katrin Cartlidge, Lynda Steadman
The premise is simplicity itself. Having graduated from college six years earlier, Steadman, who works in corporate personnel outside London, comes into the city to spend a reunion weekend with her former roommate (Cartlidge), who likewise has taken up an office job. The movie flashes back and forth from their initially constrained get-together, during which each woman seems preoccupied by some personal unhappiness, to their school days, when they were almost aggressively miserable (Cartlidge spews a torrent of sarcastic puns and insults, while Steadman twitches with anxiety). Acted to perfection, Career Girls is smaller (and, thankfully, less lugubrious) than director-writer Mike Leigh's last film, the mother-daughter weeper Secrets & Lies. This funny, touching movie has but one purpose: to let us draw close enough to these women that we can hear their hearts beat. And break. (R)

For more than a decade, the relationship between cholesterol and coronary heart disease has been a subject of controversy in the medical community. Whereas numerous epidemiologic studies have documented a consistent, strong, and independent association between cholesterol levels and the incidence of coronary heart disease, evidence that lowering cholesterol levels can reduce coronary risk has been more limited. Hence, although many have been convinced of the clinical value of interventions to reduce cholesterol, others have remained more skeptical of the science informing such efforts. The debate has been intense, in part, because "heart" disease has a special place in the

Antibacterial soaps might actually be dangerous to your health, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Millions of Americans choose antibacterial soaps and body washes, thinking they're better than ordinary soap.
But the FDA shocked consumers by announcing this week that these products aren't better at all, and in fact, could be a lot worse -- so bad they might be removed from store shelves.
Believe it or not, human beings have a lot of good bacteria in their bodies, important bacteria that actually keep us healthy.
But antibacterial soaps can kill those good bacteria, possibly leading to serious issues, like antibiotic resistance or hormone problems.
The FDA says research from animal studies suggested that daily exposure to antibacterial chemicals had an effect on estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones.
There are about 2,000 antibacterial soaps, washes, and deodorants on the market. They are pretty easy to recognize. Most say "antibacterial," "antimicrobial," or "antiseptic" on the label.
Another giveaway is the presence of the "drug facts" label required by law. Look for the active ingredient Triclosan.
But companies that make these products say the FDA's concerns are overblown.
"The fact is Triclosan is safe," Brian Santoni, who works for the American Cleaning Institute, said. "(It) has an extensive track record - human health and environmental safety."
The FDA wants to give antibacterial soap companies a year to prove their products are safe and better than regular soap. If they can't, the products must be reformulated, relabeled, or removed from store shelves by 2016.
In the meantime, the FDA still says washing your hands is the best way to avoid getting sick, preferably with good old fashioned plain soap and water.

Rackspace Cloud Orchestration is a RESTful API Service that can be used to create and manage cloud resources (for example: servers + software installation, databases, load balancers, and so forth) by declaring what you want deployed using a simple template language, as described in this guide. Cloud Orchestration is based on the OpenStack open source project named Heat. Rackspace Cloud Orchestration currently supports the HOT (Heat Orchestration Template) syntax specification of Heat.
How Cloud Orchestration works
A Cloud Orchestration template describes the infrastructure for a cloud application in a YAML or JSON text file that is readable and writable by humans, and can be checked into version control, diffed, and so forth.
Infrastructure resources that can be described include: servers, volumes, and so forth.
Cloud Orchestration also provides an autoscaling service that integrates with Rackspace Cloud Auto Scale, so you can include a scaling group as a resource in a template.
Templates can also specify the relationships between resources (for example this volume is connected to this server). This enables Cloud Orchestration to call out to the Rackspace APIs to create all of your infrastructure in the correct order to completely launch your application.
Cloud Orchestration manages the whole lifecycle of the application. When you need to change your infrastructure, simply modify the template and use it to update your existing stack. Cloud Orchestration knows how to make the necessary changes. It will also delete all of the resources when you are finished with the application.
Cloud Orchestration primarily manages infrastructure, but the templates integrate well with software configuration management tools such as Puppet and Chef.
Rackspace Cloud Orchestration Services are available to Rackspace Cloud customers. Interactions with Rackspace Cloud Orchestration occur programmatically via the Rackspace Cloud Orchestration API as described in the Cloud Orchestration Developer Guide.
We welcome feedback and comments at our community forum: https://community.rackspace.com/products/f/25/t/3476.

The area underneath Jacob Strassner's right eye was black and blue. There were red marks still on the right side of his face from a brutal day of wrestling at the Central Sectional tournament last weekend.
And just to top it off, it appeared like there was a trace of dried blood under his nose.
"I'm beat," the Montoursville sophomore said after securing his spot in the District 4 Class AA tournament which begins Friday night. "Mentally, physically, everything. I'm beat."
Article Photos
Jacob Strassner of Montoursville is a 126-pound qualifier for this weekend's District 4 Class AA meet.
But a smile stretched across Strassner's face in the wake of his tremendous run through a daunting 126-pound bracket to take fourth place. His Sunday was already planned. It was a planned day off, a much-needed one, too.
"Sleep," he said. "Just sleep."
Saturday's sectional tournament was the coup de grace of a menacing two-week stretch of wrestling for Strassner and his Montoursville teammates. It was a stretch which included a run to the District 4 Duals finals, a trip to Hershey for the PIAA Team Wrestling Championships for the first time in school history, and two league-mandated duals against Lewisburg and Hughesville, just four and five days prior to Saturday's start of the individual postseason.
Fact Box
District 4 wrestling championships
Class AA:?Friday-Saturday at Williamsport High School. The top 5 in each weight advance to next week's Northeast regional back at WHS.
CLASS?AAA:?Friday-Saturday at Clarion University in the District 4-9 AAA?meet. The top 3 seeds advance to the Northwest Class AAA?regional next week at Altoona.
And to cap it off, Strassner was the seventh-seed in potentially the deepest and most competitive of the 14 weight classes wrestled in three District 4 sections last Saturday.
Yeah, you'd probably be looking forward to sleeping on Sunday, too.
"I'm really proud, but I had to work for it," Strassner said. "Just go out and wrestle and have fun. It's only a game."
Strassner was a District 4 sixth-place finisher last year at 106 pounds, losing 5-0 to Midd-West's Corey Stauffer in the fifth-place consolation. It capped off a stellar freshman season which saw Strassner finish 23-11 and come within one win of advancing to the regional tournament.
It hasn't been as easy for Strassner this year. He had to deal with a 20-pound increase and the move up three weight classes. And it was a rough start for him.
He finished sixth at the season-opening Top Hat tournament at Williamsport, and started the season 3-5. But it was the last time he was under .500 all year. It's been a seesaw season for Strassner because the adjustment to a heavier weight class proved to be more of a challenge than he anticipated.
"It's a more fast pace and the kids are stronger," Strassner said. "The strength surprised me a little bit, and I have to work on that in the summer."
He's hovered around the .500 mark for much of the season, entering the postseason with an 18-17 record. It was a big part of the reason he was the seventh seed in a nine-man 126-pound bracket at the Central Sectional.
But Strassner knew he was better than what his record would suggest. Even after an opening-round, 9-0 loss to eventual runner-up Brian LeBarron of Warrior Run, Strassner was confident he could finish in the top four. First he advanced by beating Montgomery's Nick Buckle, 5-0, in the first round of consolations. It was an important win for Strassner after Buckle had beaten him twice during the regular season.
He followed that with a brilliant 1-0 win over stellar Benton freshman Anthony Vitale, ranked 16th in the state, in the consolation semifinals to secure his spot in the district tournament. He fell in the third-place consolation, 2-0, to Muncy's Andy Aguilar, but the consensus seemed to be it didn't matter much where in the top four Strassner finisher, just that he put in a day of wrestling which was good enough to advance to the next week.
"This is where it matters. All through the year, no matter if you have more losses than wins, it all comes down to this time of year," said Montoursville's Keith Batkowski who often works with Strassner in practice. "It paid off for him. He came in to this tournament even expecting to make it out and he's going to districts."
"Working with Keith and (freshman Nolan Ott) all year pushed me to be up there with them," Strassner said. "Keith really helped me a lot. With him wrestling 26 last year, he knew what it was about and he was pushing me all year to get ready."
Strassner will be part of another loaded 126-pound bracket Friday and Saturday at Williamsport which adds the likes of Line Mountain's Blake Carl, Mifflinburg's Noah Kuba, Sullivan County's Shawn Nitcznski, Williamson's Herman Briggs and Lewisburg's Dante Taylor to the mix. And, just like last week, Strassner will wrestle LeBarron in the opening round.
But now Strassner has the confidence he can win matches in the consolation bracket if that's what should be asked of him. He's already done it once to advance.
"I feel like I can let loose a lot more now," Strassner said. "I know I can compete with everyone and wrestle with them."

Very nice! I have a feeling that these might be gifts for some special people! :)
OMG I love the Steelers fabric. Could you tell me what type of fabric you used and where you purchased it from? I have been looking for a "sports" fabric for my husband and son and I just do not know what to use. I have to "internet shop" since I live on an island. Our resources here are extremely limited. The floral print is simply divine. My mom use to have a similar bag with the same print. If you could provide me the info for that print as well I would appreciate it. Happy Sewing...Felicia

A hit-and-run driver who crashed through the front yard fence of an Orlando home and hit two vehicles in a driveway Thursday night was caught thanks to witnesses, according to police.
Authorities with the Orlando Police Department said the crash happened just after 9 p.m. on Bruton Boulevard.
Investigators said the driver of the vehicle fled on foot but was caught by witnesses.
A witness told WESH 2 that children were playing in the yard minutes before the crash. No injuries were reported.
Officials said he was the only person in the car.
The driver was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center for treatment, and police said he would be booked later into the Orange County Jail.

Since ssh authentication is taking place on the SUN server, I took a
copy of the keytab file from the Master kerberos server and placed it
place of the one created by running ktadd on hostA... now hostA has a
copy of the kadm5.keytab from the Master server.
Once I did this (and this was the same for the SLAVE Kerberos server),
then pre-auth works and I was able to sign in to hostA from another
Solaris box.
Can anyone tell me why this works... I am presuming it has something to
do with local authentication on hostA that requires the keytab file from
the Master where the ticket was originally created and thus the keytab
has the data necessary for decryption.

Viscosity is a basic, often overlooked biomarker for circulatory health. Blood viscosity is a direct measure of the ability of the blood to flow and is easily modifiable using existing therapies.
The Hemathix Blood Analyzer is a calibrated glass capillary
system used to monitor changes in the amount of solids present
in blood plasma in various disorders.
The Hemathix Blood Analyzer is available to clinical laboratories and researchers based in the U.S.
Test requirements: 3 mL of blood in lavender tube (EDTA), ambient stability 8 hours, refrigerated stability 4 days, frozen specimens unacceptable.
Hyperviscosity syndromes are a well-established class of conditions that can arise in a variety of disease states, including among others polycythemia vera, dysproteinemias, multiple myeloma, leukemia, sickle cell anemia, and sepsis.
Hyperviscosity includes syndromes of serum hyperviscosity where patients may hemorrhage or experience neurologic or ocular disorders; syndromes of polycythemic hyperviscosity that result in reduced blood flow or capillary perfusion and increased organ congestion; and, syndromes of hyperviscosity caused by reduced deformability of red blood cells as in sickle cell anemia.

Comings and goings at 'Downton Abbey' next season
NEW YORK -- Shirley Mac Laine will be returning to "Downton Abbey" next season, and opera star Kiri Te Kanawa is joining the cast.
MacLaine will reprise her role as Martha Levinson, Lord Robert Crawley's freewheeling American mother-in-law, Carnival Films and "Masterpiece" on PBS said Saturday.
New Zealand-born soprano Te Kanawa will play a house guest.
Meanwhile, the producers have confirmed that villainous housemaid Sarah O'Brien won't be back.
Siobhan Finneran, who played her, is leaving the show.
Some of the other new characters:
- Tom Cullen as Lord Gillingham, described as an old family friend of the Crawleys who visits the family as a guest for a house party (and who might be the one to mend Lady Mary Crawley's broken heart).
- Nigel Harman as a valet named Green.
- Julian Ovenden as aristocrat Charles Blake.
- Harriet Walter as Lady Shackleton, an old friend of the Dowager Countess.
- Joanna David as the Duchess of Yeovil.
"The addition of these characters can only mean more delicious drama, which is what 'Downton Abbey' is all about," said "Masterpiece" executive producer Rebecca Eaton.
These announcements come shortly after the third season's airing in the United States. It concluded with the heartbreaking death of popular Matthew Crawley in a car crash, and also saw the shocking death of Lady Sybil Branson, who died during childbirth.

By now, if you are still hopelessly hanging around the Penguins hockey-Internet, you know. Pierre McGuire is listed as a candidate for the Penguins GM role.
Everyone has quoted this article from 20 years ago.
Pierre was clearly terrible, 20-years-ago. This is neither in support or against Pierre McGuire. It just a statement. 20-years-ago means nothing. Imagine if some columnist covered you ten or 20 years ago. Or covered you in college. How would that play out?
We were all Pierre McGuire in hartford at one point in our lives. It's time to move on from that stance, and referencing that article.
If the Penguins hire Pierre McGuire. There is some good. He knows junior hockey better than anyone. He has been around the game.
There is also some bad. He is far from a sure-thing. And he is, Pierre McGuire.
We are still waiting for the " I'm coming home," video.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the Obama Administration's demand that the Jewish state suspend building twenty new apartments in an Arab neighborhood in East Jerusalem. Netanyahu told cabinet ministers that a united Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem cannot be challenged.
"I can only imagine what would happen if someone suggested Jews could not live in certain neighborhoods in New York, London, Paris or Rome. There would certainly be a major international outcry," Netanyahu said. The prime minister's statement drew an angry response from the Palestinian Authority. However, an Israeli government minister says Israel has every right to build in its capital.
"This undermines the peace process," Chief Palestinian Negotiator Saeb Erekat said. "This undermines the efforts being exerted to revive the peace process and this undermines the credibility of those involved in making the peace process continue."
Building settlements on captured lands claimed by the Palestinians has become a major obstacle in relations between Israel and the Obama administration. The settlements have the potential to disrupt the Mideast peacemaking process.
Gilad Erdan, Israeli Environment Protection Minister said Israel does not tell the Palestinians whether to build in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
"So they don't need to tell us whether to build in Jerusalem because this is our capital city," he added.
Netanyahu said Israel has a longstanding policy that residents of the city can purchase apartments in all parts of Jerusalem.
Speaking on her trip to New Delhi, India on Sunday U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the administration was trying to reach a settlement with Israelis.
"The negotiations are intense. They are ongoing," she said.
Nearly 300,000 Israelis live in West Bank settlements and 180,000 Israelis live in Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem.

Building a community garden
January 7, 2013 - Leah Sherman
The description on the Hands On Maui website (the County of Maui's online volunteer center) stated:
"Community Garden Plant Day
"Sustainable Living Institute of Maui
"Come learn, work and play in Kahului's only Community Garden!
"We are creating a luscious permaculture oasis full of fruit, herbs, food and flowers.
"On volunteer days we accomplish a few of the following: plant, weed, water, paint signs, learn about compost, mulch the garden, harvest food, build garden beds, organize the garden, start seeds, propogate new plants and socialize with fellow community members.
"Reasons to volunteer:
"—You are helping the community to learn how to grow their own organic food
"—Meet new people!
"—Take home seeds or starts."
I guess I read "plant, weed, water, paint signs" and overlooked the rest of the description, because I was completely unprepared for Thursday afternoon's activities at the garden on the campus of the University of Hawaii Maui College.
The garden, which will eventually offer 30 plots (each 5 feet by 8 feet) that island residents can rent to grow their own produce, is in the building stages.
Volunteers are welcomed every Thursday from 3 to 6 p.m. Be ready for physical labor. (It was more than I can handle — I'm very lazy/out of shape.) The afternoon's activities included shoveling sand into wheelbarrows, mixing the sand with concrete and shoveling the mixture into earthbags to form a low wall; raking plots; and cutting banana leaves to be used in compost.
To learn more about Sustainable Living Institute of Maui or Hands On Maui, see the links at right.

EX series
Redirected from EX
this wiki
- For a list of EX models, see Category:EX models.
The Ibanez EX series is a series of electric guitars produced by Hoshino Gakki, first introduced in 1988. The EX (short for Experimental) models were RG-like guitars produced in Korea instead of Japan as a more affordable alternative. The guitars featured the RG shape, but with rounded edges, as opposed to the squared edges of the RG line. They presumably were named differently to prevent them from possibly hurting the reputation of the RG name, although some markets already did have some Korean made RG models.
They were equipped with Powersound pickups in various configurations, and most had an Ibanez TRS-101 tremolo, licensed by Floyd Rose.
The EX models finally were replaced by the Ibanez RX series in 1994. That year, Ibanez also started with the production of higher-end Korean RG models like the RG450 and RG470.

Faculty and Staff Hurricane Preparedness Guide
The faculty and staff hurricane preparedness guide was created to help you prepare accordingly in the event of a hurricane. Please carefully read the recommendations provided and take the necessary steps to help ensure that you are prepared to continue operations during and after a disaster.
This guide outlines the steps that IT takes for Disaster Recovery. IT refers to Disaster Recovery as the process and procedures that are related to preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure only. Departments are responsible for their own business continuity plans should the campus applications and/or systems be down.
Update your CougarAlert emergency contact information:
Prior to the storm, be sure that your CougarAlert information is up-to-date in MyCharleston. CougarAlert will relay emergency information through phone calls, emails, and text messages using the contact information that you have listed in MyCharleston.
- The College will communicate important updates and information with you via the CougarAlert. Be sure that your contact information is correct so that you are receiving these important notices in the event of an emergency.
- For a tutorial on how to update your CofC CougarAlert information, please visit: http://blogs.cofc.edu/it/2014/06/11/update-your-cougar-alert-information-2/.
Save your College-related data to the College's user drive:
All of your College data should be saved to the user drive (U:drive) that IT provides to all employees. The College's U:drive is for official College business only. Please do not upload your iTunes library, personal pictures, etc. to the user drive. Also, do not save your entire local drive to the user drive - only College-related data please.
- If you only save data to your local drive (ex. C:drive) and your computer is damaged, the files on the computer may NOT be accessible. IT encourages you to always save college-related data to your U:drive whether or not a storm is approaching. If you save your files to the U:drive then you can access them from any computer connected to the network. IT also performs disaster recovery backups on the U:drive on a daily basis to provide a means to restore data that has been lost or corrupted. IT will notify you when they start the final backup of the U:drive to an offsite location prior to a hurricane.
- Plan accordingly for any files that you may need to access and edit during and after a storm. IMPORTANT: The U:drive may NOT be available during a hurricane depending upon the severity of a storm. The files may not be accessible until the campus is operational again. If you need to access certain files in your U:drive during and after a storm, IT suggests that you save those files to an encrypted USB flash drive and take it with you.
- Your files most likely contain personal protected information (such as grades, payroll information, etc.), so it must be stored in a secure location such as the U:drive. Be sure that you're familiar with the College's privacy policy and what constitutes personal protected information. You can view the policy at policy.cofc.edu/documents/11.1.pdf.
- You can access the tutorial on how to save files to your U:drive and more detailed information is avaialble at it.cofc.edu/computing/storage/index.php.
- Purchase an encrypted flash drive (such as the Lexar Echo ZX USB) to store any files that you may need to access and edit during and after a storm. You can purchase an encrypted flash drive through eProcure. Please contact helpdesk if you need assistance.
Keep your computer equipment safe:
If a hurricane becomes a threat to the campus, you should take the necessary steps outlined below to protect your computer equipment and hardware located in your office at that time. IT will protect the computer equipment and hardware located in the classrooms, labs, and server rooms that are at-risk only. If you'd like to know more about IT's process for classrooms and labs, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
You are responsible for ensuring that your office computer equipment and hardware are protected. IT will be focusing on protecting the computer equipment and hardware located in the at-risk classrooms and labs.
We're happy that you asked. IT will send out an official message alerting you to proceed with the following computer preparations at that time:
- Take laptops/tablets home with you along with important files and paperwork needed. Remember to review the privacy policy listed above. You are responsible for the data on your computer.
- Unplug your desktop computer and equipment (printers, scanners, etc.) from the electrical outlets as well as the data jacks. (Make a note of which data jack you removed the cable from because not all of them are activated.)
- Move any computer equipment and any hardware away from windows and areas which are prone to possible flooding or leaks.
- Cover your computer and other equipment with a trash bag. Do you have trash bags on hand? If not, purchase them from Central Stores now.
Know which applications MAY and MAY NOT be available during a hurricane and plan accordingly:
In the event of a hurricane and depending upon the severity, certain campus resources may NOT be available or have certain limitations (such as you can access the file but cannot edit it). Usually, if applications are hosted on campus (i.e. databases and servers are stored in the Bell Building) then the applications may not be available a short time before, during and after the hurricane. If applications are hosted (meaning that they are stored in another location off campus) then the applications will most likely not be affected.
IT has compiled a list of applications and resources that may and may not be available during a storm. It is your responsibly to become familiar with this list and plan accordingly. The College could re-open after a hurricane but campus resources such as OAKS may not be available if the server room (where the hardware for the system is located) is damaged. You can review the list of applications at the end of this document.
Review some other helpful tips:
If you hold physical installation media to non-enterprise software, consider making a copy of it, if you are licensed to do so. IT does not keep copies of software purchased by individuals or departments.
After the storm and the power is back on, wait until there are no blackouts or surges before plugging your equipment back in. Be sure that critical equipment has a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) attached.

The new Lexus RX 450h full hybrid luxury SUV has received a makeover including sharper looks, higher equipment specifications and a new F Sport model to increase its appeal across the board, the Japanese carmaker announced.
The new Lexus RX 450h styling changes are led by the spindle-shaped grille that is a new trademark element in new Lexus design. It will also be seen on the soon-to-be-launched new GS saloon and the LF-LC concept coupe.
The effect is to give RX 450h a much stronger and individual street presence, a character that is even more pronounced in the new F Sport model, Lexus said. The model will also have redesigned tail lamps at the rear.
The new Lexus RX 450h cabin will also see slight tweaks made to its trim details and the shape and functionality of some of the controls. This will include a new steering wheel, incorporating a new selector switch for the hybrid systems drive modes. In addition, the operation of the Remote Touch controller has been revised to work more like a computer mouse.
Lexus has also increased the opening angle of the centre console box lid to make it easier to reach items inside.
The new Lexus RX 450h has also adopted a whole new sporty persona with the introduction of an F Sport version to the RX range for the first time.
The F Sport will display a deeper, more vertical front bumper and a dedicated mesh treatment for the upper and lower grilles, which together make the new spindle grille shape an even stronger feature.
There are also dark-finish 19-inch alloy wheels and F Sport badging on the exterior, while in the cabin the models distinctly sporting character is reflected in aluminium-effect sports pedals and trim inserts, F Sport smooth leather upholstery and scuff plates with the Lexus logo in black. There is also a black roof lining and a bespoke steering wheel with a stitched leather trim.
Other equipment features include a head-up display, and LED headlights with the I-AFSadaptive system that angles the light beam in line with the vehicle turning angle through bends and at junctions.
Three new exterior colours have been added to the range including Satin Silver, Burgundy Red and Atlantic Blue, available for all versions, including the new F Sport.
On sale now, prices for the new Lexus RX 450h start at £44,495 for the RX 450h SE.

on March 8, 2014 - 12:01 AM
, updated March 8, 2014 at 10:14 PM
While I am sitting in restaurants or standing in grocery store lines, I observe the health behaviors of adult caretakers and the children with them.
Two weekends ago, my wife and I were at a restaurant sitting next to a heavyset couple with two heavyset children. The children may have been between the ages of 3 and 6.
The woman was conversing with the man and, at the same time, pouring sugar into one of the children's tea. The conversation and the downpour of sugar went on and on and on until the brown tea turned white and my face turned red. I felt my heart race, and my instinct was to turn toward the adult caretakers to tell them that they were harming their children.
My wife caught my reflexes and with her eyes signaled me to calm down.
Last week, I was in a grocery store line, and in front of me was a lady with three young children. The children may have been between the ages of 4 and 8 and appeared obese. My eyes roved around the grocery cart and observed the following items: white bread, jelly, bacon, chips, donuts, sodas, eggs, sausage, M&M's, ketchup, bologna and mayonnaise. No produce, whole grains or milk. I turned around to look at my wife and I widened my eyes to the largest level allowed anatomically. My wife pulled the back of my shirt to give me the signal to calm down.
But how can I calm down? I picture these obese kids losing limbs, going blind, ending up on hemodialysis or having their chests cracked open for coronary bypass surgery before they reach adulthood.
I also picture government institutions running out of money because of the increasing cost of treating obesity-related chronic illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, arthritis and their co-morbidities. The cost of treating obesity in the United States is estimated at $190 billion per year. This cost is about 7 percent of the total U.S. annual health care expenditure.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2012, more than one- third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. This should not be! Parents are accountable for this new childhood disease. Yes, obesity has just been categorized as a disease by the American Medical Association.
What needs to be done to stave off this childhood disease?
To provide a solution, we must first understand the problem. Childhood obesity is not a disease children are born with. It is being developmentally programmed by parents, mostly, in children between the fetal stage and 12 years of age. Children's fat cells are like rubber bands – they expand and contract at least four times that we know of between fetus and age 12.
The four known time intervals of physiologic fat cell size expansion and contraction are in the fetus between 15 and 30 weeks of gestation; between the newborn stage and age 2; between 3 and 5; and between 9 and 12.
These four intervals are sensitive periods of children's fat cell growth and fat cell number proliferation. If parents do not provide children healthy food options and encourage an active lifestyle, fat cells will expand and not contract. The expansion of fat cells, without contraction, will cause an incessant proliferation in the number of fat cells. Fat cell size can be reversed; fat cell numbers cannot. The abnormal proliferation of fat cell numbers leads to refractory obesity.
Parents can cause irreparable damage to their children's physiology.
A study by the Social and Health Research Center in San Antonio, published in the Journal of Obesity last year, showed that if childhood obesity is not corrected at an early age, obese children will suffer not only from the chronic illnesses mentioned above, but also from learning disabilities. Unless childhood obesity is forestalled, there will not be enough money in government buildings to treat the medical conditions or enough tutoring in schools to improve scores on state competency exams.
What is responsible for the physiologic expansion and contraction of children's fat cell size? Parents' unhealthy behaviors being spilled over to children! For example, studies have shown that fetus taste buds develop around 27 weeks of gestation. Pregnant moms who consume milk and asparagus are more likely to have newborns with taste buds that favor milk and asparagus. And pregnant moms who consume Cheetos and Big Red are more likely to have newborns with taste buds that favor Cheetos and Big Red.
The second phase is between newborn and 2 years. Studies have shown that newborns whose mothers provide them with powdered or cow milk are more likely to develop obesity than breast-fed newborns.
The third phase is called "adiposity rebound." This phase occurs between the ages of 3 and 5. At this stage, television begins to take control of the child's brain. What is TV? First, it is a sedentary lifestyle and, second, it is about commercials. What products do commercials usually promote? Sugar, fat and beer.
A study by investigators from Case Western University found that the Public Broadcasting Service, Nickelodeon and Disney channels averaged 1.4 food advertisements every half-hour, with the majority of these commercials for fast-food chains and sugar-added beverages. And these are the "decent," well-regarded TV channels. Can you imagine the indecent ones?
The fourth phase is when children reach puberty. Puberty occurs between the ages of 9 and 12. In this age group, children will either be entering or are already in middle school. In the United States, many elementary schools offer daily physical education, but by middle school, most stop requiring daily physical education.
By now I hope parents get what the solution is to stave off childhood obesity – higher consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grain and low-fat dairy products and living a more active lifestyle.
The Social and Health Research Center followed nearly 1,400 children over three years to study their dietary intake during breakfast. Obese children who consumed cereals and milk for breakfast were more likely to become lean over time compared to obese children who did not.
The center has 14 years of experience implementing the Bienestar/NEEMA coordinated school health program. Studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine and Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine have shown that children participating in our health programs have increased dietary fiber intake and physical activity and have decreased obesity rates, waist circumference and blood glucose and insulin levels.
The Bienestar/NEEMA health program is evidence-based and recognized as a successful strategy by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and as a research-tested intervention program by the National Cancer Institute.
We have good news for parents. The prescription to treat the growing problem of childhood obesity is not in medical centers, universities or government institutions. It is at home and it may be in your child's school.
Roberto Treviño is a physician and director of the Social and Health Research Center in San Antonio.

Dig Deeper: Hillary truths Hillary Clinton's Professional and Government Career: Hillary's first ethics problem involving White House operations was "Travelgate". A memo written by David Watkins depicted Hillary Clinton at the center of the 1993 travel office dismissals. Watkins wrote, "we both know that there would be hell to pay" if "we failed to take swift and decisive action in conformity with the First Lady's wishes." May 19: seven White House Travel Office staffers were fired, for little apparent reason besides to make way for a company owned by Clinton's friends (Harry Thomason and Linda Bloodworth-Thomason) from Arkansas. Prior to the removal of the previous staff -- who historically would carryover from administration-to-administration -- Harry Thomason accused Travel Office employees of demanding kickbacks.

Allen and friends have - no surprise - outdone themselves once again. I can't articulate what I was expecting from Allen's post-Shiner endeavors; maybe a little more of the introspective, quasi-orchestral mood-rock that Shiner began exploring on The Egg; maybe a touch of his Radiohead meets Floyd explorations. What I wasn't expecting was a freaking 5-course-meal of rock, spanning delicate amuses bouches to meaty main course to sweet and fatty dessert, and everything in between (including some excellent bread, but perhaps mercifully for this metaphor, lacking a cheese course). This is mature music, recapitulating many of the heavy rock moments that brought Shiner so close to us in the first place, but exploring uncharted waters in compositional elegance and emotional gravity. Dig this.

HOWARD - After scoring 11 runs against Mount Union Tuesday, the Mifflin County Section 4 11-12-year old softball all-stars were back on the scoring trail against New Bethlehem Thursday.
But this time the eyes were focused on pitcher Laiken Turner.
Turner pitched five innings of no-hit softball in a 10-0, five-inning win over New Bethlehem to advance to the title game in Section 4. That game will feature Mifflin County against today's New Bethlehem-Mount Union winner Saturday at 1 p.m.
Turner went the distance and struck out six batters while allowing only three baserunners the entire game.
At the plate for Mifflin County, Turner had a three-hit performance while driving in one run. Maddie Amspacker and Hannah Kanagy each had a pair of RBI. Kanagy also doubled.
If Mifflin County wins Saturday it will advance to the state tournament which will be held in State College.

STATE COLLEGE - State College National dropped Big Valley, 20-1, in the semifinals of the District 5 10-11-year old tournament Thursday in State College.
This was Big Valley's first loss of the tournament. The locals started the tournament by taking down Mifflin County 7-5 on Saturday.
Big Valley will face the winner of Four Leaf and Penns Valley Saturday at 6 p.m. at a site to be determined.
Legion baseball
Winchester, Va. 10, Mifflin County 7
FREDERICK, Md. - Mifflin County's Legion baseball team battled the brutal heat and a strong pitching effort from Winchester, Va. in a 10-7 loss in the wood bat tournament Thursday.
Evan Pupo went 3 for 4 with a triple and a pair of RBI for Mifflin County. Cy Treaster and Isaac Strohecker, who took the loss for the locals, each had two hits. Treaster drove in a pair.
"We came out and scored some two-out runs for a change," Mifflin County coach Larry Wolfe said. "The problem was we got up to a 4-0 lead and then we didn't play well with the lead."
The locals scored four runs in the top of the second to charge out to a 4-0 lead. But Winchester came right back and scored a quartet of its own.
After the teams traded one run in the third, Mifflin County scored another two in the fourth to take a 7-5 lead heading into the later stages of the game.
But a three-run fifth and a two-run sixth from Winchester dropped Mifflin County in its first game of the tournament.
"The kids played better and this was just an all-around better game for us," Wolfe said. "I would have liked to win, but we certainly played better."
Mifflin County plays Mount Airy this afternoon.

' The Luck of Edenhall'
Syria or Egypt
1200s (13th century)
Width 11.1 cm (maximum) x height 15.8 cm
Glass, gilded and enamelled
Museum No. C.1 to B-1959
Purchased with the assistance of the Pilgrim Trust, the National Art Collections Fund, the Goldsmiths' Company, the Salters' Company, the Drapers' Company and the Merchant Taylors' Company.
The glass beaker known as the Luck of Edenhall was made in Egypt or Syria, probably in the 13th century. At the time the Arab lands produced the world's finest glassware, which was decorated with enamelled and gilded designs. It was traded from Ireland to China.
Early in its history, the beaker was brought to England, most likely by an Italian merchant. In the 1200s and 1300s centuries, the north of the country was troubled by border raids, during which the gold and silver vessels used in church services were regularly stolen by invading Scots. Because of this, the locals were given permission to use glass instead, and the beaker may have been used as a chalice in the Mass. This would explain why it was given a fine leather case moulded with the sacred monogram IHS - an abbreviation of the Latin phrase Iesus Hominum Salvator, 'Jesus, Saviour of Mankind'.
For centuries, the beaker was in the possession of the Musgrave family, who lived in a house called Eden Hall in the north of England. Its true origins were forgotten, and a legend grew up to explain its presence. According to this tale, a party of fairies were interrupted while making merry round a spring near the Hall called St Cuthbert's Well. As they fled, they left the beaker behind, and one of the last cried out, 'If this cup should break or fall Farewell the Luck of Edenhall.'

On a side note, i'm really not a fan of the Lowry signing. I like Lowry a lot and praised it at the time but only because I figured that we were gonna trade Calderon. I knew Lowry and Calderon wouldn't work as a tandem because we've had this exact same issue before. The construction of this team just makes no damn sense.
We definitely need to see how Lowry fits in when he comes back before Andrea, but for now I'm inclined to believe that the team plays much better with Calderon than he, which makes us losing what seems like a lotto pick for him brutal (since we certainly are not looking like a top 3 worst team in the league anymore with Andrea out). Hopefully we can flip Calderon for a pick now that he's back to being awesome to make us losing ours for Lowry less brutal, and maybe kill our chemistry again to get us back into the lotto...

I would not worry about cooking fish damaging the oils. Cooked fish is the best way to get DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids. It is a much better way than taking fish oil supplements. Although some people may need supplements in addition to eating lots of fish.
You are doing the right thing by consuming grilled (broiled) mackerel, herring or sardines. Eating cooked fished is safer than avoiding fish.
