Fight Night Online Bothers Me
I can handle being outworked or dropped on a good counter but half the people on xbox live just ****ing throw 2050687 straights and bodys around while moving forward. Last night I fought Duran (everyone uses him) with Gatti... was countering and blocking majority of his shots.. yet lost a one sided decision. If the stamina bar was good and the scoring was better it was be a perfect game. Oh Well.

Well to be fair you did pick Gatti when you saw opponent had Duran. Thats like playing NCAA10 using Navy vs Florida and wondering why recievers never get open in NCAA10 or asking why your Oline can't protect your QB.
Sadly you have to use good fighters if your going against good fighters. Its worse in the MW division where there is a huge gap between jrWW's and MW's. Don't be surprised if you chose a jrWW and opponent has a jrMW or MW and you're stamina and health go down faster than his even if your landing more shots and more counters.

No. 4 SOUTH CAROLINA 69 FLORIDA 55
COLUMBIA — South Carolina coach Dawn Staley was pleased with her team's victory over Florida on Sunday.
She and the fourth-ranked Gamecocks were much happier about an hour later when they clinched a tie for their first-ever Southeastern Conference title.
South Carolina earned its share when No. 15 Kentucky defeated 16th-ranked Texas A&M 83-74. The Gamecocks watched in their locker room and celebrated Kentucky's 83-74 win over Texas A&M. South Carolina can win the crown outright with a victory at home over Georgia on Thursday night.
"This is exciting," forward Aleighsa Welch said. "Now, we've got to take care of business."
Staley and the Gamecocks (25-2, 13-1 SEC) have done that much of the season, including against the pesky Gators (17-10, 7-7) in front of the second largest crowd (10,547) ever to watch women's basketball at 11-year-old Colonial Life Arena.
Tiffany Mitchell scored 20 points, Alaina Coates had 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Gamecocks.
Staley, the basketball Hall of Famer, reflected on the title few believed the program would win when she arrived from Temple six years ago. "It feels great to do what most people thought we could never get done here at South Carolina," she said.
The Gamecocks had never won more than 11 SEC games in a season. Staley's first team in 2008-09 won just two, but entered this year with consecutive NCAA tournament appearances.
Staley hoped her players would enjoy the moment, but is confident they understand there's more left to achieve over the next few weeks. "We want to be greedy at this point," she said. "We want to win it all, as much as we can win."
Mitchell took a knee to the thigh in the opening period and looked barely able to move before trainers helped her off the court. While the injury was not serious, Mitchell clearly looked out of synch early on against Florida's swarming pressure: She was only 2 of 5 from the floor for six points and had six of the Gamecocks' 13 turnovers in the first half.
But she turned things around after the break with 14 points and just one miscue to lead South Carolina.
"Tiff's a player," Staley said. "She's not going to play perfect basketball every time out. When you can handle adversity like she did in the first half and play like she did in the second, that's when you know she knows how to turn the page and put us on her back."
And the Gamecocks needed the support against pesky Florida.
They led by 16 points midway through the second period until Florida rallied with an 13-3 run that cut things to 49-43 with 5:19 left. But Mitchell followed with a open 3-pointer from the left corner before Welch and Coates had inside baskets to restore the double-digit lead.
Once more the Gators fought back to trim the lead to 58-51 and again Mitchell's jumper and foul shot put the Gamecocks ahead 61-51.
"I just tried to settle down. I was playing too fast early on with a lot of unnecessary turnovers," said Mitchell, who wore ice bags around both knees. "I just had to stay in it and get myself going."
Jetera Bonds scored 20 points to lead Florida before fouling out in the final minute. Kayla Lewis, who also fouled out in th last seconds, had 15 for the Gators.
Mitchell also added seven rebounds. The 6-foot-4 Coates was 5-of-5 shooting and had five of South Carolina's 11 blocked shots in her eighth game with double-figure points and rebounds this season.
Mitchell had six points as the Gamecocks opened the second half with 16-8 run to lead 46-30 before Florida rallied back.
"We tried to do a lot of different things to shift the game," Florida coach Amanda Butler said. "But they're execeptional and a great example of why this is the best league in the country."
There's been little opposition to slow down South Carolina since their lone SEC loss at Texas A&M, 67-65 in overtime, back on January 16th. The Gamecocks have won eight straight coming in by an average of 18 points a game. The closest call was January 26th when they outlasted Vanderbilt on the road, 61-57.
The arena was decorated in pink as South Carolina play in honor of those who who've fought or are batting breast cancer. Those include Gamecock assistant Nikki McCray, who was diagnosed with the disease in November and is undergoing treatment. She has not missed a game with the team due to her illness.
"We knew this day was about her," Mitchell said of McCray.

Behind flood insurance changes
December 28, 2013
Just to comment on Elliott Weiss's letter to the Sun he state's that it's the Tea Party who passed the Biggert-Waters Bill. That Act is responsible for the increase in flood insurance rates....
This bill was passed by a great majority - both parties. Parties aside, this affects dems/reps the same - when are people going to unite and stop pointing the finger. Everyone pointing their fingers at the other "party" are as bad as our government who can't work together or compromise. It is time to unite and repeal bills/laws that are going to decimate our economy and country. Can we move beyond elementary school and act like adults that can and should make a difference?

Leave the Tea Party alone how about they leave us alone. They are the good guys they think they are.

Body After Baby!
I enjoyed reading about Uma Thurman, Brandy and Sarah Jessica Parker getting back to fighting weight a few months after having a baby. If a woman eats sensibly and limits indulgences during her pregnancy, it shouldn't be that difficult to return to her prepartum figure. These women need to look top dollar for their work. And they do.
Lisa Donne, HILLSDALE, N.J.
I'm six months pregnant, and after reading your cover story I don't know whether to be inspired or depressed by how quickly the celebrity moms profiled got their bodies back. Could you ask them to loan me their personal trainer? I'll need to be in shape to impress the other moms at the play group.
Tara Kearney, VANCOUVER, WASH.
Your staff has sunk to a new low with your cover about celebrities who quickly regained their figures after giving birth. As if new mothers today don't suffer enough societal pressures to be übermoms, now you venerate those of us who managed to fit back into our prepregnancy clothes in record time. It's not a contest!
Trish Jordan, HONOLULU, HAWAII
Your cover story was great, but you should have included noncelebrity moms who managed to lose their baby weight. Anyone can do it—and not only if you can afford a chef. I did it with my motivation, which was free.
Jennifer Faber,
Linda McDougal
My heart goes out to Linda McDougal and her tragic, unnecessary mastectomy. Hopefully, over the next months her path will become clear, and she will be able to regain her sense of health and well-being. I am also hopeful that she will cease to refrain from referring to her body as being "freakish." All women, with or without breasts, need to feel a sisterhood in dealing with this issue.
Nancy Murdock, MERLIN, ORE.
Linda McDougal needs to take to heart the words of her 15-year-old son Jacob that at least she doesn't have cancer. Make lemonade out of lemons, Linda. Collect the maximum cap of $250,000 and do some good with it.
Annette Regan, MELVILLE, N.Y.
Teresa Earnhardt
Thank you so much for your story about Dale and Teresa Earnhardt. While reading the article I had tears running down my face. Although Dale is gone, he is certainly not forgotten. Teresa is right. We are still heartbroken.
Clonda Gregg, AUSTIN, TEXAS
Your story stated that Teresa Earnhardt "fought off newspapers trying to publish" Dale Earnhardt's autopsy photographs. Not true. The Orlando Sentinel had no intention of publishing Mr. Earnhardt's autopsy photos and stated that clearly. Our only interest was to have a medical expert review the photos to see if Mr. Earnhardt died from the same kind of preventable head injury that killed three other NASCAR drivers in nine months. The Sentinel's goal was improving driver safety. Since then safety mandates, encouraged by our coverage, have dropped the NASCAR death toll to zero.
Timothy A. Franklin, vice president/editor, Orlando Sentinel, ORLANDO, FLA.
Terri Wolfe
It is unfortunate that Terri Wolfe, who was profiled in your Jan. 13 issue, ignores scientific data in spreading her sensational claims about Crystal Springs Preserve in Florida. It's also too bad PEOPLE didn't visit the Preserve before writing about it. Had you done so, you would have seen a beautiful, pristine place. We are very proud of our stewardship of this precious natural resource.
In cooperation with the Thomas family, the environmental award-winning owners of the Preserve, we are restoring Crystal Springs to its natural state after years of use as a swimming hole. Artificial beaches and concrete paths have been replaced by natural vegetation. As important, we are transforming the Preserve into a unique "Nature's Classroom" for scientists, students and teachers interested in learning about Florida's spring systems. Your readers can see the Preserve by visiting the Web site at www.crystal springspreserve.com.

Long Wong's has become recognized as a staple in the Tempe music scene, hosting live acts with viagra online uk no cover nearly every night of the week. However, in the spirit of innovation and the desire to bring you the best that our creative scene has to offer viagra online uk, I've teamed up with NativeThinking (Eric Estrada of Walkingstick Presents) to fill a gap, long gone unfulfilled, in Tempe's nightlife.

Anyone have a crystal ball?
We can use one.
Normally as a new winter season begins, our sports department can — to a degree — anticipate what to expect from the preps hoops season by distinguishing which teams are early favorites to win league and state titles.
Though some don't pan out as expected, many of those early season impressions hold true during the grind of the four-month season.
Fact is, it would not have taken a physic this time last year to predict the Pawnee girls would be a title contender with a deep, balanced squad led by versatile senior Adele Cass.
Or, that the battled-tested Eaton girls would again have a chance to play in the 3A title game.
Or, that Valley's boys squad could ride its talented senior trio of Drew Matsushima, Joe Dellenbach and Tanner Schmidt to an extended postseason run.
Well, this year isn't quite like previous years. And, for those that like intrigue and unpredictability, that certainly isn't a bad thing.
This season could be a crapshoot when it comes to predicting Weld basketball title contenders.
When the dust begins to settle on the season in a few months, there could be multiple Weld teams among the state tournament's final eight in various classifications — as there normally is — or, there could be none.
Even last year's contenders enter this season with reason to wonder whether they can duplicate last winter's season.
Pawnee girls — which won the 1A title — graduated Cass and a strong senior class, while also having to replace coach Laura Hodgson, who resigned her coaching position after last season.
The Eaton girls — which were the 3A runner-up — are dealing with a complete makeover with last year's two leading scorers, Leah and Kayla Cheney, transferring to Cheyenne East in Wyoming.
The Valley boys — fresh off a third-place finish in 3A — need to replace most of its offense after graduating the aforementioned senior trio.
No doubt all three are building. The bigger question, though: Is the timetable for their respective rebuilding projects closer to that of building Rome or that of building a bite to eat at a build-your-own taco bar?
Even if these three teams can't repeat prior success, there are a handful of hoops teams just waiting for the opportunity to assume their spots on the top of the totem pole.
The Valley girls are full of players with championship experience on the volleyball court and softball field. They have the depth, talent and experience to perhaps break through as a title contender. So far, so good for the Vikings, who dispatched of a solid Mead squad, 57-44, in their opener on Friday.
The Briggsdale girls have consistently been rebuilding a championship-caliber team since finishing second in 1A in 2008. They made an early season statement with a 67-19 win against Union Colony on Saturday. More impressively, a freshman — Darian Hale (21 points) — led the way.
The Highland boys have a big, versatile duo in 6-foot-3 senior Jacob Hasbrouck and 6-foot-7 junior Axel Sterner. The Huskies got off to a rough start with a 79-53 loss to Heritage Christian on Saturday, but the prospects of testing themselves in the tough 3A Patriot before playing in the 2A postseason has to be appealing.
The Windsor and Roosevelt girls have been knocking on the door of elite status in recent years. This might just be the year the 4A upper-tier answers the door and invites them in.
Ditto for the Platte Valley boys team, which has a combo of size and speed that could prove deadly in 3A.
Of course, it would be foolish to ever count out squads as competitive and fundamentally sound as the Dean Grable-coached Eaton Reds or Dustin Duncan-coached Windsor Wizards.
And, perhaps the top candidate for breakout team of the year: The Pawnee boys team.
The Coyotes enter this season ranked third in 1A by The Denver Post, and it's not hard to see why.
Pawnee is chock full of experienced talent.
Senior captains Brye Brunelle and Scott Klinginsmith form one of the most dangerously versatile backcourt combos in 1A.
They can shoot, distribute, attack and defend.
The Coyotes also have surprising size for a small school with three players over 6-foot and eight players who stand 5-foot-10 or taller, including 6-foot-2 post presence Trent Timm.

Kevin Ware To Possibly Return In Early 2014

$16k for first person to hack iPhone 5S' fingerprint scanner
- From: news.com.au
- September 20, 2013
THE race to break the iPhone 5S is on.
The US hacking community has put together a reward of $16,000 for the first person to hack the new iPhone 5S' fingerprint scanner.
Apple introduced the new feature as a way to better secure the iPhone. Given that every single person possesses a completely unique fingerprint, the iPhone 5S can be locked down to your specific security credentials.
Two security experts Nick Depetrillo and Robert David Graham set up a website IsTouchIDHackedYet.com which - as its name implies - tells people if the phones fingerprint scanner has been hacked yet.
"Hackers had used gummy bears to lift fingerprint sensors a while back," Mr Graham told ABC News (US). "We are arguing that it is a lot harder. We are all offering money, betting that it is going to be hard. We are betting that no one tomorrow is going to grab a gummy bear and get through tomorrow."'
And no, lopped off fingers cannot be used to access the phone. That theory has already been disproven.
But apparently a cat's paw print will do just fine.
One user, Natasha Lomas, decided to test out whether her feline companion could unlock the phone with her paw print.
So she synced the phone to recognise the cat's paws.
"The registration process took a little bit longer than it would a human's fingerprint," said Darrel Etherington, a writer for TechCrunch who said Lomas came up with the idea after he told her he had to write a review of the phone.
"It seemed like there wasn't as much tolerance, like if the paws were at a different angle than when the cat first registered," said Etherington.
But eventually, the cat's paw succesfully unlocked the phone.
Etherington said he succesfully unlocked the phone using the underside of his forearm and the heel of his palm.
"So long as it has a recognizable pattern," he said. "It has to be alive, but really it's any type of exposed skin."

This course covers the key essentials for establishing a contemporary esthetic dental practice, whether converting from an existing traditional practice or just starting a new one.
Dr. Jack Ringer, DDS
Dr. Ringer has been in a truly committed high tech contemporary esthetic dental practice for the past 19 years. He has also devoted time as an educator in the field of contemporary esthetic dentistry at both the UCLA Dental School and Loma Linda Dental School. Additionally, Dr. Ringer is a faculty member at the Esthetic Professional Learning Center in Woodland Hills, California. Dr. Ringer was born in South Africa, where he obtained his dental degree in 1977. He returned to California in 1979 and began his current practice in Anaheim in 1981. He has been a member of a variety of esthetic societies, such as the AACD, and has been an invited guest of AEED for the last several years.

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to do the following:
Over the last decade, dentistry has undergone an unprecedented revolution in the area of materials, technology, and techniques. Unfortunately, the vast majority of dentists do not have the necessary academic, philosophic, or clinical tools required to confidently implement these new modalities into their practices. Trying to decide which of the new materials, treatments, or equipment would best fit into a particular practice can be confusing and potentially very costly if the dentist does not have sufficient and accurate information regarding the ever-expanding changes in dentistry. Just as we learned our craft by attending dental school, it is imperative for dentists today to acquire further education to become successful in the field of contemporary esthetic dentistry. The key to a successful modern esthetic dental practice is to confidently provide the contemporary esthetic and conservative therapies that patients demand and to move away from the more traditional, destructive, and non-esthetic treatments. Succeeding in this transition not only allows the practicing dentist to provide optimum functional and esthetic therapies for his/her patients without the influence or control of third parties, such as HMOs or other insurance companies, but also ultimately yields greater profits with less stress. This course discusses the fundamentals required to establish a 21st century contemporary esthetic dental practice and outlines the necessary steps to create such a practice.

Next Generation Knovel Library: cool new tools plus over 700 Science and Technical References
June 6, 2005--At the Special Libraries Association (SLA) Annual Conference which opened in Toronto (Canada) yesterday, Knovel, a leading provider of Web-based information services for engineers, scientists and librarians, announced the availability of the next generation Knovel Library, a streamlined full-text science and technical reference and online database with new powerful and intuitive search and productivity tools. Knovel's new Web-based platform is the third generation of the Knovel service which transforms information into actionable intelligence by integrating software tools with content. Very cool! Highly recommended.
"The new Knovel Library was designed the way that scientists, engineers, and information professionals actually discover and make use of necessary information based on the input of Knovel's 375 institutional customers," said Christopher M. Forbes, CEO of Knovel Corporation. "Unlike less intuitive services, researchers using Knovel Library search with the power of a database, browse with the familiar feeling of a book, find the information they are after quickly, and then analyze and import results into workflow with powerful job-specific productivity tools."
The enhancements included in Knovel Library make finding and analyzing information for millions of engineers, scientists and librarians faster and easier. Powered by more than 700 high-quality scientific and engineering references and embedded with Productivity Tools, the new Knovel Library indexes every word, every chart and graph, and every picture in the database, ensuring Knovel users the most powerful scientific search platform available anywhere. Enhancements allow users to retrieve useful answers quickly and easily with simple keyword and phrase searches or to refine their queries for greater accuracy with an array of new search tools including unlimited Boolean searching, fielded bibliographic limits, wildcard truncation and exact phrase matching. Results are ranked according to relevancy, popularity, or alphabetically for easy navigation, and moving between browsing results and further refining search queries is transparently easy.
Knovel technology transforms text content and numerical data of any type and complexity into a consistent research platform. The new Knovel Library combines leading technical references, databases and analytical software into one complete service. Additional new and improved features include enhancements to find information quickly through searching and browsing, Productivity Tools to analyze the results, and easy exporting the data into the workflow applications that make the information useful and relevant.
More information and a tour of the new Knovel Library can be found here. To facilitate trials of the Knovel Library and to help businesses, academic institutions, and government agencies make the transition to a virtual library, Knovel offers K-Essentials, which includes unlimited access to nine highly acclaimed science and technical references free of charge. To gain access to the K-Essentials program, free subscription requests must be made through a librarian, information specialist, or departmental manager. Qualified professionals may apply here.

The Philadelphia firefighters' union has filed an unfair-labor-practice charge against the city in an effort to get audio recordings and written reports from an April blaze that killed two firefighters in a wall collapse.
Local 22 of the International Association of Fire Fighters has maintained that a "collapse zone" was never established around the burning Kensington warehouse and has called for Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers and his two top deputies to resign.
If a collapse zone had been set up - preventing firefighters from entering an area 11/2 times the height of the building's walls - Lt. Robert Neary and firefighter Daniel Sweeney would not have been killed, the union has said.

My faculty practice organization renovated the building it owns. A massive redecoration of the offices occurred. As part of this process, we all had to take down everything from our walls so they could be repainted. All of the pictures, certificates, and sundry tchotchkes came down, boxed and relegated to an empty and unused office for the month or two that this process unfolded. The walls are now a pristine off-white. A signal was shortly given that it was time to rehang what needed to be rehung. This seemed the least of my priorities, and the certificates languished for another month in a dark corner, almost forgotten until a patient remarked that I needed some pictures on my walls because they seemed too stark and sterile. That was my second signal, and so I went to the office one weekend to do the task. I was desultory, uneven, and regretting the act of marring the pristine walls with holes. Did I really need to hang these things? If anyone cared to inspect my credentials, he or she could simply go online. For a moment, I romanticized the minimalist look, fantasizing a sleek and decoration-free existence whose subtle contours serenely project a Zen-like ambience to my daily routines.

text: Explore Rimini Bologna Modena Reggio Emilia Parma and around East along the Via Emilia Ferrara The Po Delta Ravenna and around Rimini San Marino Share RIMINI, Italy's largest and most varied beach resort, has long been a traditional summer magnet for families, to which many Italians return year after year. But there is also an upmarket side to the town, with its boutique hotels, high-end restaurants and chi-chi clubs. And with that comes a less savoury aspect: Rimini is known throughout Italy for its fast-living and chancy nightlife, and there's a thriving hetero- and transsexual prostitution scene alongside the town's more wholesome attractions. The resort is best avoided in August, unless you have a penchant for teeming crowds. Out of season, it's pleasant enough, though bear in mind that many hotels, restaurants and shops are closed and the atmosphere along the seafront is almost eerily quiet. Given that Rimini was almost entirely destroyed in the last war, it's surprising to find that the town has a much-ignored old centre that is worth at least a morning of your time. Located inland, past the station, it is an often unseen part of Rimini, made up of old stone buildings clustered around the beautiful twin squares of Piazza Tre Martiri and Piazza Cavour, and bordered by the port-canal and town ramparts. Unlike the touristy side of town, this quiet, refined community stays in business throughout the winter, albeit in a low-key, backwater sort of way. But it's the beach, the crowds and the wild nights that you really come for: Rimini is still the country's best place to party. Rimini's nightlife Read More

WHY do a lung scan—a question asked by physicians in many types of practices, and with good reason. If a lung scan is being considered to confirm or exclude the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, the question can be answered with some certainty, but not unequivocally, because published studies of efficacy of lung scan are few. If the lung scan is being considered as an aid in diagnosis of a patient with pulmonary disease other than pulmonary embolism, the information being sought must be well defined, since such diseases produce generalized abnormalities of both perfusion and ventilation, and scanning studies do not result in specific diagnoses. Such disclaimers, however, do not negate the value of the technique of lung scanning; they merely advise circumspection in its use.

Program/Project Management
After owning up to its mistakes, the Washington Department of Transportation will pay the price: about $81 million in change orders to the multibillion-dollar SR 520 bridge replacement project, officials have announced.
The 7,500-foot-long floating bridge project, which will connect Seattle and Medina, has been plagued with problems since May 2012, when crews found cracking and spalling after completing post-tensioning on a longitudinal pontoon that is designed to keep the bridge afloat.
WSDOT plans to pony up $81.1 million in change orders for cracked concrete, ballast water leaks, and other problems on its 7,500-foot-long floating bridge project.
WSDOT recently admitted that its own design mistakes were to blame for the cracked concrete in the initial cycle of pontoons, which also required modifications to the second construction cycle. Soon after, Jugesh Kapur—the state's top bridge engineer, who lead the Bridge and Structures Office—was fired and a second, unidentified employee was reportedly demoted.
3 Change Orders
WSDOT and its contractors have reached agreement on the cost of repairing four pontoons from the first construction cycle and modifying another four pontoons from the second cycle, officials announced Tuesday (July 30).
The repairs were recommended by an engineering firm specializing in the repair of concrete structures and were endorsed by an expert review panel.
Also Tuesday, WSDOT announced three change orders totaling $81.1 million to be paid from the SR 520 risk reserve, which was developed to address "unforeseen project issues." The remaining risk reserve now sits at $100 million.
Several problems with the pontoons were discovered last year. WSDOT later accepted the blame for its design mistakes and fired its top bridge engineer a short time later.
The first change order cost the agency $9.9 million for repairs to four pontoons from cycle one, which included de-tensioning one pontoon, removing spalled concrete, modifying the post-tensioning profile, and reinforcing a bolt beam.
For the second change order, WSDOT will pay $48.8 million to repair cycle one pontoon cracks to the bridge contractor, Kiewit-General-Mason Joint Venture, which was awarded the original $586 million design-build contract in January 2011.
The repairs for cycle one have been underway since June to keep bridge construction moving along.
The repairs include:
For the third change order, WSDOT will pay $22.4 million to pontoon construction contractor Kiewit-General for previously completed transverse post-tensioning to four pontoons.
Additional change orders that have yet to be finalized include:
"These repairs are important to ensure we are building a safe bridge that meets the needs of the traveling public and supports the regional transportation system for many years," said Lynn Peterson, WSDOT Secretary.
"We are committed to following the recommendations of the expert review panel and moving forward," Peterson said.
History of Problems
In August 2012, an inspection of pontoons already floated out of the casting basin found ballast water leaking between two cells in one pontoon and moisture on the inside of an end wall in another.
Inspectors discovered in October 2012 that one of the 58-foot-tall concrete columns for the bridge had too little buffer between the concrete and reinforcing steel, causing project managers to remove and replace the column.
A total of 77 pontoons will be used in the bridge's construction. Pictured is one of the 21 longitudinal pontoons that will be connected end-to-end to support the floating bridge.
While removing a tube from one column, some of the concrete peeled off with it, and workers discovered that the rebar cage had shifted during the pour, leaving less than the normal 1.5-inch concrete thickness around the rebar.
Also in the fall of 2012, inspectors rejected several of the 345 pre-cast concrete wall panels for either exceeding contractual limits for cracking or duct alignment issues.
In the winter, divers examined four large pontoons on the lake and found cracks on the undersides that had been concealed when the pontoons were in the casting basin.
Current Progress
The third construction cycle, out of six total, recently wrapped up, culminating in eight completed bridge pontoons being floated out to the bridge location.
These eight pontoons bring the number of completed pontoons to 32. Overall, 77 total pontoons will be needed to construct the world's longest floating bridge, including:
About the Bridge
Originally scheduled for completion in December 2014, the new bridge is now estimated to open in late 2015 or early 2016.
The current bridge will be 50 years old this month and is nearing the end of its original service life. The bridge carries 115,000 vehicles per day and has only two lanes in each direction. The pontoons have become vulnerable to windstorms, and the support columns have become vulnerable to earthquakes.
The new pontoons are designed for a 75-year service life to withstand windstorms up to 89 mph and a 1,000-year earthquake event.
The project is the first construction phase of the SR 520—I-5 to Medina: Bridge Replacement and HOV Project, for which the Washington State Legislature has set a program budget of $4.65 billion.

Edinburgh Napier Uni - Nightlife?
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
Hey there,
I studied at HW rather than Napier but they're both in Edinburgh, so reckon I could answer some of your questions! Life in Scotland is pretty good I'd say - Edinburgh as a city is absolutely stunning, Lothian buses recently won a national award for their outstanding service, and shopping is not bad. There's a few pretty good shops, but generally speaking I'd recommend heading over to glasgow (takes under an hour, is pretty cheap, and there's a train every 30 minutes) if you fancy a good shopping session. By financial I'm guessing you mean what are prices like, rather than how well represented the financial sector is (the answer to which would be quite well, in case you're curious). It's a rather difficult question to answer not knowing where you're from unfortunately - as a Swede I'd say is slightly cheaper than back home for food, even more so for drink, and clothes are pretty similarly priced (ever so slightly cheaper, some brands more so than others).
As for the nightlife, I'm afraid I was born an old man in that regard, so I'm not the most qualified to answer. I can tell you that we've got a handful of rather good pubs (just avoid the touristy ones), and getting your hands on a decently priced drink isn't too challenging. As for clubs.. well, there's quite a few of them, and I'm sure they can't all be bad if that's your scene!
If you've got any more questions etc just fire away.
Thanks so much for your reply! It was really helpful!
I live in Denmark now (and I used to live in Sweden for 5 years) - Jag talar flytande svenska haha. I was wondering if you had any other examples of Scotland compared to Sweden? For a broader view of what it's like living there.
I don't really have any specific questions, so any information you think would be useful is always welcome! Thanks again! x
Hi Sahnestarck. I sent you PM few days ago but i'm not sure if you recieved. I'm going to be in Napier University as well. I got unconditional offer few months ago for Ms Tourism and hospitality. Do you have an offer and if so what is you major?

I'm planning on going to Scotland and studying in Edinburgh Napier University!
If you don´t wanna party, there are many places you can enjoy Edinburgh, nature etc. Yeah as Salgoud mentioned, shopping is not that awesome, but you might find something somewhere And about the transport, it is good, quite different as I was used to and depending on what your course is, you might even walk
What are u going to study?

Hey guys! Artito - sorry for the late response, but I responded back to you!
And thank you so much for the information! I'm hoping to start studying after my gap year, in the fall of 2013. It sounds very promising though, and who knows, I might meet you along the way! x

This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Office Depot, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #inspirestudents http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV.
I de-cluttered my once-messy work space with this simple tin can DIY Desk Supply Organizer that would also make a great teacher gift! Isn't it fun?
It's back to school time, which means organizing and preparing for change! I'm embracing it wholeheartedly with this cute DIY desk supply organization station.
There's nothing more frustrating than scrambling and failing to find a pen for jotting notes when making an important call or turning the house upside down in search of a single pair of scissors. Have you done this? It happens all too often around here, I'm afraid. Talk about a stressful situation!
So in my attempt to start the school year off right this time around, I stuck my supplies in one, tidy place where they're right at my fingertips! It's conveniently portable too! So when my daughter's doing homework, I can move this handy caddy to the table where she has easy access to all she needs.
Because I'm a little obsessed with stripes and polka dots (ask my friends and family about my wardrobe), I chose to paint them onto empty tin cans for a very inexpensive desk organizer with some serious spunk! It's a definite conversation piece, don't you think?
The other day I took a trip out to Office Depot for school supplies, but this time my husband watched the kids. Hallelujah! I was like a kid in a candy store with time to kill and no children to chase. Talk about heaven! The associates had to keep checking in on me because I was taking so long to make a decision....just because I could! :)
I totally scored, because this gigantic package of Sharpies was only 5 bucks! Way to make me smile, Office Depot.
I ended up with a cart full of beautiful items that I just must have before the school year can start and then set home to organize them in style! No more frantic searches for writing utensils!
Right now is a perfect time to tackle this project, because you can save $5 Off your purchase of $20 or more on Select Newell Rubbermaid Brands (PaperMate, Expo Neon Window Markers, Sharpie, Uni-Ball, & Mr. Sketch)! All of my favorites are definitely included in that list.
Office Depot and Office Max have the best sales on back to school supplies! From Aug 24-30 find weekly savings on select products like PaperMate Flair 4pk's: $4, Sharpie 12CT Asst Fine & Ultra Fine Asst: $6, Sharpie Dozen Box Black Fine & Ultra Fine: $6, while supplies last. Sounds good to me!
6 tin cans of equal size, emptied, outer paper removed, and cleaned
Acrylic Paints in various colors
Foam Paint Brushes and a round foam brush for the polka dots
Masking tape for the stripes
Hot Glue Gun
Clear Acryllic Matte Spray for a protecting top coat (optional)
Rinse and clean your cans well. We wouldn't want our supplies to end up smelling like green beans. :) Make sure to remove any sharp edges that may be left on the inside of the can. Turn them over and let dry completely.
Paint the base color on each of the cans. You may need 2-3 coats for full coverage. Let dry in between.
Make sure the base paint is completely dry before this next step or the paint will peel off when masking. Ok now go ahead and add some fun patterns...polka dots, stripes and such!
To paint the polka dots, you'll want a round foam brush as shown above. Simply dab it in the paint, blot it once on a test surface to remove excess paint, then carefully stamp the brush onto your can. Repeat for each polka dot.
For the stripes, tape off the areas where you want the base color to show through.
Paint, then remove the tape. I was a little impatient and didn't allow mine to dry all the way beforehand, so my paint wanted to come off with the tape in certain areas. I quickly touched those up, though.
Now let them dry completely. Spray them with a Clear Acryllic Matte protecting coat if you'd like. It seals the paint and will reduce the chance of paint flaking and scratching off.
Now secure the cans together by laying three down side by side, then hot gluing them where they touch at the joints in front and back. Stack two more on top and repeat the gluing process. Lastly, stack one can on top and glue.
Now fill it with those pretty supplies and admire! I love it when functional meets cute! I'm thinking I'll keep this one and make another for my daughter's teacher. What a useful gift it will make, and a great impression too. I'm all for earning brownie points. I see a big A+ in my daughter's future! :)
How do you stay organized after school starts? I'd really like to hear your tips!

Runners Compete In Marathon To Top Of Empire State Building
Category: Media & Culture
/ Feb 07, 2013 2:23PM EDT
Australians Mark Bourne and Suzy Walsham were the fastest man and woman to race up the 1,576 steps of the Empire State Building on Wednesday (February 6) in the run up of the iconic New York landmark. Bourne finished in 10 minutes, 12 seconds and Walsham clocked 12:05 in the race up 86 floors that is described as a vertical marathon, the New York Road Runner (NYRR), which organizes the annual Empire State Building Run-Up, said. About 600 runners from 18 countries took part in the race, now in its 36th year. "Even if you're taking it a little bit...moderately easy, it's always tough to go up something like that, so yeah, the satisfaction of just completing it is enough," said Bourne. "But to win it makes it even better." Four-time champion Walsham was equally elated. She tied the record for most wins in the women's division and laid to rest the memory of her last win in 2009 when she overcame a crash at the start that gave her a black eye and lingering injury to her foot to claim her third race in a row (2007-2009). "I swore I'd never be back, but the lure of coming back to win such an iconic building and, you know, to get so that that's [2009 race and crash] not the last memory of my win. I really wanted to comeback and try and win it again, and I was lucky today. The race went my way," said Walsham who lives in Singapore. Australian Darren Wilson came in second among the men, followed by Ricky Gates of San Francisco. Brooke Logan of Australia was the second woman to reach the top, ahead of Erika Aklufi, of Los Angeles, who placed third. "That was amazing. They were trying to usher me inside, and I said 'no, no, no, I just want to see who wins the men's,' and then Mark came across and. . . you know, it's a great day for Australia to have two Aussies winning. It's fantastic," said Walsham about the Aussies runners who have a long history in the race. Paul Crake of Australia set the course record at 9:33 in 2003. His time was three minutes faster than the winning time of Gary Muhrcke's 12:33 in the inaugural 1978 race. Crake was paralyzed in a cycling accident in 2006. Andrea Mayr of Austria set the women's record of 11:23. German Thomas Dold, the defending men's champion who has won the race a record seven times, did not compete because of illness. About 30 elite men and women vertical racers, or tower runners, who storm up skyscrapers around the globe, along with fitness enthusiasts and some 200 charity runners ran from the lobby of the landmark building to the Observatory floor. The elite stair climbers powered up the building first followed by other runners in spaced intervals, according to the organizers. Many of the top skyscraper racers compete in the Vertical World Circuit, which includes buildings races in Switzerland, Spain, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Singapore and Brazil. Last month Dold was named the circuit's champion for the fourth time. The Empire State Building Run-up was the brainchild of New York City Marathon founder Fred Lebow. (Video Source: Reuters)

love this skirt - so sexy and versatile plus very comfortable. I am pear shaped and have a short torso so it's challenging to find a circle skirt that doesn't hit me to high on my waist, but this was perfect. it's light weight and can transition into fall from summer easily. already got compliments on it; highly recommend.

It's so frilly, flouncy and pretty. I was so excited to wear it out. I was walking to school and someone behind me starting honking, they rolled down the window and yelled out "the back of your skirt is completely up!" and drove off. My backpack had caught the back of the skirt and was holding it up exposing my spanx. For the rest of the day I had to fight with my backpack, wind and stairs trying to keep the skirt down. Very mortifying experience. Not a very functional skirt for busy school days. Maybe walking indoors with no wind or stairs would be more its speed.

this skirt is amazing. I own it in black. I'm very tall so many skirts from anywhere are far too short. this one is the perfect length for tall girls (it looks like a mini on me). comfortable, easy to dress up or down, so versitile, looks great with heels and flats. Worth the price. It's also very, very fun to twirl in.... :)

This is just the most feminine and flattering skirt. As others have mentioned, the length is appropriate (and I'm not petite at 5'8"), and the faux silk is just beautiful! I bought the mochi green and was very pleased with the color; just the right saturation to make it soft, yet vibrant. I have about a 24.5" waist and went with the XS because it was all that was available. It fits WITH a little squeeze; I measured the skirt to have about a 23" waist. So worth it though. Tremendously swishy and classy.

This skirt is absolutely perfect-- perfect length (not too short), with wide, slimming pleats, and just has the most perfect bounce. It's the most flattering thing I own.
I normally wear a M/L in AA, size 28/29 waist, and I got a M-- it fits perfectly.
I own the black, and I'm getting the tea green as soon as I can!

Where was Marilyn Monroe when they made this skirt? I live in a windy area, and any gust of wind flips this skirt up. I am still thinking about getting this in pink even though I have to control it. I love the length, style, and fullness of the skirt. I got it in black, and the medium is a perfect fit. It also goes with everything.

this is the best thing i've ever bought from american apparel. the quality is amazing. the pleats are HUGE, it makes you feel like twirling. the length is just right for taller girls, no constant pulling to make sure everything is covered. it runs just a tad small, similar sizing to the cord circle skirts.

This manufacturer has been in the tyre game since 1978. It's the last Japanese company to still make them domestically.
This Type A model is a couple of seasons old but has already had the compound tweaked to improve grip.
With bead-to-bead puncture protection, it's a solid performer that doesn't stand out in any particular respect but gives great all-round performance.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
item ships quickly, received the item 4 days after placing the order. i recommend following the size chart to the T. . .im usually a small, size 2. but b/c of my measurement i ordered a medium and it fit like a glove- with the exception of the sleeves. They're a little loose but not distracting
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I bought this to use as a costume piece for a character with green skin in lieu of body paint/make-up. I dyed it with RIT dye using the stovetop vinegar method. It took the dye very well and evenly and was comfortable to wear. However, after two performances, it's already starting to tear near the zipper in the back. I thought perhaps dying the body tight had weakened the fabric, but a friend of mine uses the same body tight for one of her costumes, not dyed, and it's tearing in the same spot, next to the zipper in the lower back. I'm going to continue to use it as long as I can, but I may have to devise a way to reinforce that area of weakness in the construction.
Age: 30-39
Awesome outfit, but be careful if you are taller than 5'7". You may need the large.
I needed to get something to put on under a white unitard that would stop my undies and bra from showing through. It works quite perfectly with my nude colored undies. However, I cannot say how effective it is with other colors of undies. I do like that it has sleeves. There is no risk of seeing different shades of color through the unitard as you might with body stockings that don't have sleeves. I got a medium, I'm 5"2 and usually wear mediums in dancewear and smalls/mediums in shirts.
Top half of this body suit is great, but the legs are too long (I am 5') so they bunch up which is not flattering. Also the leg seams sit too far towards the front of the leg rather than on the inside of the leg so the seam can be seen.
I Love this Body Stocking! My part calls for 'full nudity', but my group doesn't allow it, so this body stocking plus a nude dance belt, and everybody is happy! Durable, and not too hot, and the fit is perfect - Thanks!
I love this bodystocking...
Great fit & very comfortable. No annoying seam in the front, very well made. PERFECT!

On Monday, April 7, Bryn Mawr's Town Hall on Race was held at Thomas Great Hall. The Town Hall was attended by staff, faculty, and students. President Kim Cassidy opened by saying, "It's a shame that this meeting had to happen, but I am optimistic to see so many of the community here."
The four main purposes of the Town Hall were to provide context of the meeting, to look deeply at the structures that cause these issues, to explore the possibilities that are available for students, and to move towards action by finding solutions that can work and be sustained.
Interim Dean of the College Judy Balthazar followed Cassidy by proposing that even though "we have formed assumptions about race outside of the Bryn Mawr Bubble, now we must enter and be a part of the Bubble with open eyes and hearts."
A short history of how Bryn Mawr has addressed race in the past was also part of the introduction. During her time at Bryn Mawr, former President Nancy Vickers expanded a diversity leadership group by adding new positions in order to have more of an impact and to better address matters of diversity and inclusion on campus. Since then, there have been efforts to increase faculty diversity, to gain feedback from campus climate assessments, and to address issues that are brought before the administration.
Professor Michael Tratner of the English Department spoke on the issue of faculty diversity. He realized that Bryn Mawr still has a ways to go when it comes to hiring professors. He admitted that he and other professors have unintentionally looked for qualities in candidates that are the same as everyone else in a given department. He further explained that they have turned candidates away because their qualities might not "fit in," while these qualities are only different because of the candidates' background or race.
Professor Tratner admitted that these inherently racist actions and attitudes only add to Bryn Mawr's "bubble of homogeneity."
His testimony was received by the snapping of fingers throughout Thomas Great Hall.
Mary Osirim is a sociology professor as well as the Co-Director of the Center of International Studies and Faculty Diversity Liaison. Osirim provided context for the Town Hall:
After Hell Week, Professor Kalala Ngalamulume of the History Department received 31 copies of a photo on his office door which depicted a large bird chasing a stereotyped depiction of a black man across what could be assumed was African plains. In the middle of the photos was a small message that said, "This is me."
After Professor Ngalamulume reported the incident to Campus Safety, an email was sent to the Bryn Mawr community, explaining broadly the incident and requesting that the person responsible to come forward to Professor Ngalamulume and the Honor Board.
The student did come forward and admit that she honestly believed that the professor would find the pictures humorous. The student was someone who had been in Professor Ngalamulume's class previously. In their class, they had even discussed the negative images of Africa.
Since the incident, the student has apologized to Professor Ngalamulume, has met with the Honor Board, and has been assigned to attend seminars on race and diversity.
Three students came to the stage to present a plethora of individual experiences and statements from students across campus. These statements ranged from racist statements directed toward students of color to reactions to such statements and assumptions.
Some of the reaction statements addressed how not all people of a given ethnicity are the same and dismissed outsiders' assumptions that they are international students. Some comments that were reported followed the lines of "Stop victimizing yourself" and generalizations such as, "Students like you…"
One statement that resulted in gasps and hushed murmurs throughout the audience was, "If you can pass for white, why do you admit that you're Mexican?"
After this introductory segment of the Town Hall, the audience was split up into nine small groups of approximately 20 people, comprised of students, staff, and faculty. The small groups were meant as safe spaces for reactions, the sharing of personal experiences, and discussion of possible solutions to the issues of racism on campus.
In my own small group, students shared their views on how Bryn Mawr is a place for white people and to fit in, people of color must give up parts of themselves and their culture to seem more white. Another student commented on how it is not only whites who push this stance, but other students of color as well, so racism must be fixed across the spectrum. Class was also mentioned as a dividing point between students. The Honor Code was brought up in how its system of confrontation does not help solve problems of race and how many students of color are ignored when they bring complaints of racism to the Honor Board. Another student explored how trigger warnings in syllabi assume a white audience and do not consider that some students, such as students of color, may be triggered by depictions of colonialism and other occurrences.
After the groups had time to meet, representatives of each group presented different solutions that could be considered. These ideas included the following:
- More transparency
- An Ethnic Studies Department
- A diversity literacy course for first years, as part of ESEMs, Customs Week, or Wellness courses
- More diversity in the classroom
- Faculty liaison/partnership for affinity groups
- More funding for affinity groups
- A yearly report from a student survey of the most important issues on campus
- Mandatory diversity training for staff and faculty
- More stress on intentionality and accountability when speaking
- Debriefing problematic material in classes
- Addressing how the Honor Board approaches issues of race
- Finding out how international students fit into the discussion
The Town Hall ended soon after the discussion of solutions. Even though there have been mixed reactions to the event, President Kim Cassidy shows dedication to honoring the proposed ideas and finding ones that can work now and in the future.
The full list of solutions will be released soon by the administrators of the Town Hall and will hopefully continue discussion around Bryn Mawr.
The Bi-College News is open to opinions pieces from community members based on their reactions of the Town Hall on Race. Interested writers can submit pieces and ask further questions at email@example.com.
