Team Ratings
V. Gabulov
Wasn't called on much, and couldn't do anything about the two USA goals.
S. Ignashevich
Was a solid defensive presence for the Russians. Sprayed some nice long passes around the field
A. Anyukov
Dealt with the USA's attack on the left flank. Russia's rearguard looked shakier after his exit in the 59th minute
A. Eshchenko
Decent showing on the left side of defense. Didn't get forward much, but held off the threats of Gatt and Gomez well.
I. Denisov
Helped control the match in the middle of the field. Gave the ball away one too many times, but an overall solid showing.
D. Kombarov
Attacked well down the left flank in the first half and played some dangerous balls. Taken off at halftime
R. Shirokov
The veteran controlled the midfield and got involved in both the attack and defense, providing a calming presence. Capped off his night with a late penalty that looked like it would be the winning goal, but wasn't to be thanks to the USA's late equalizer.
F. Smolov
A debut he'll always remember. Scored in the ninth minute and was injured while doing so, requiring him to be subbed off.
A. Kerzhakov
Russia's orchestrator in the first half. Picked out a quality assist to Smolov for the opener. Substituted at halftime.
A. Kokorin
A very active 67 minutes for the attacker. Buzzed around the USA defense and caused havoc. Booked for diving on a Howard challenge
United States
T. Howard
Made some fantastic saves in the second half to keep his team in the game, as per usual. His diving save on Kokorin was the pick of the bunch. Perhaps could have done better on Russia's opener.
T. Chandler
Showed why Jurgen Klinsmann has been willing to wait for him to make a commitment . Didn't get forward much in the early going, but got involved in the attack more as the game went on and had some very dangerous crosses.
C. Bocanegra
Defended well, but was hauled off after 17 minutes with an injury.
G. Cameron
Showed again why he's an automatic starter at center back for the USA at the moment. Had a couple shaky moments in possession, but had a number of crucial interventions to break up Russian attacks.
M. Bradley
Once again, the best player on the field for either side. Didn't settle in to the match for a while but when he did, was terrific in possession, showing some quality passing and precise touches. Also managed to break up a number of Russian attacks defensively. His goal was nothing short of spectacular.
F. Johnson
A professional performance from the Hoffenheim man. Got forward more as the game went along, and managed to defend his side well.
D. Williams
A very shaky performance. Had a simple giveaway on a short free kick in his own half which led to Russia's opener. Was oftentimes overrun in the middle. Settled in a bit as the game went on but was still mistake-prone
J. Jones
Again displayed the best and worst aspects of his game. Tends to dribble too much and make the complicated choice, losing the ball in the process, but also did well in possession when he kept it simple, and played some lovely precise long balls.
J. Altidore
A frustrating display in his return to the national team. Did reasonably well in possession, but failed to show a cutting edge going forward. Had a loose touch from a quality Johnson pass that would have given him a breakaway. Misplaced a couple of passes in the latter stages of the match.
H. Gómez
Switched flanks with Gatt and found a bit more of the ball after doing so, but never really got involved in the attack. Subbed off in 65th minute
J. Gatt
Looked a bit nervous and out of his depth in his international debut, but improved as the game went on. Made some decent runs forward which showcased his speed and seemed to grow into the game a bit. A good experience for the young Molde player.

- Abstract
- Despite perceived industry needs for developing a centralized contractor registration (CCR) system, such a system is still to be developed for a multiclient environment such as Hong Kong. A major barrier is that such a CCR system must be relatively easy to access to ensure that (i) contractors' information is constantly updated (by contractors), (ii) contractors' performance is reported promptly (by project teams and occupiers), and (iii) the latest analyzed information is available to any authorized clients anytime anywhere. A centralized multiclient cooperative contractor registration (CMCCR) system is proposed using web-based technology, which provides a powerful communication medium with a high potential for satisfying the above requirements. The conceptual framework of the proposed CMCCR system is presented, and the concept is illustrated through a prototype based on information collected in Hong Kong. The initial observations indicate that web-based technology is suitable for the proposed CMCCR system, and that the development of a fully functional web-based CMCCR is both feasible and useful.

Abstract: Scurvy is rare in developed countries but is known to cause lower-extremity pain and refusal to ambulate in children. Since the discovery of the link between scurvy and dietary deficiency of ascorbic acid, there has been a substantial decrease in its prevalence and recognition. Here we describe 3 cases of scurvy in young children presenting with difficulty walking. Only 1 of 3 patients had gingival lesions at the initial presentation. Two cases underwent an extensive evaluation for hematologic and rheumatologic diseases before the diagnosis of scurvy was made. Dietary histories eventually revealed that all 3 patients had sharply limited intake of fruits and vegetables secondary to oral aversion, and 1 patient had autism. Radiographic changes of long bones were observed in all patients. Interestingly, all patients had concomitant vitamin D deficiency. After replacement with vitamin C, all patients recovered and started to walk again with improved leg pain. These clinical manifestations and radiologic findings highlight the importance for rheumatologists to have a higher index of suspicion for scurvy in nonambulatory children.

Cable and satellite can be a big monthly charge, and they're going up around 6 percent per year. If you're fed up paying high bills to watch TV or find that you don't use all the channels you pay for, Consumer Reports says there are ways to cut out cable or satellite and still be able to watch television. One way to cut the cord: Invest in a digital antenna. They cost between $8 and $80—a one-time expense. Antennas pick up local stations, such as CBS and NBC, free. Of course, you won't get cable channels, and antennas don't work in every home. You may need to test several antennas to find one that has good reception where you live, so make sure you can return it. Consumer Reports says the $32 RCA ANT1650 is worth trying. If an antenna doesn't do the trick, there's Aereo. It has been expanding across the country, despite legal challenges and an upcoming case before the Supreme Court. Aereo delivers broadcast TV channels to your phone, tablet, or computer for $8 per month. If you have Roku or Apple TV, you can watch Aereo on your television as well. Consumer Reports' electronics editor Jim Willcox tried Aereo at home and says he was favorably impressed. "I got about 30 channels, and I was able to record and save shows on a cloud-based DVR." If you still want more to watch, streaming video services such as Netflix can fill in the gaps. If you aren't ready to give up cable or satellite TV yet, Consumer Reports says it's worth checking to see whether you can get a lower-priced plan. Paid-TV services are coming out with all kinds of special deals to hang on to potential cord cutters.

Patagonia R4 Jacket
22.2 oz / 629 g
13 oz Polartec® Windbloc® 100% Polyester High-Loft Exterior, Stretchy Windproof Laminate, R2® Grid Interior
Plush, good looking, comfortable, warm, and windproof.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: I don't remember exact price. I've had it for over a decade.
Plush, good looking, comfortable, warm, and windproof. What more could you want in a fleece jacket?
- Warmest fleece jacket I've ever found
- Wind resistant
- Typical Patagonia quality construction
- Attractive looks for in town
- Effective insulating mid layer
- Good ventilation
- Comfortable
- Does not compress or pack small
- A little expensive
I've had my R4 for about 12 years. It has been put through the ringer. It is in every way still as plush, warm, and durable as the day I got it. It is inherently a good looking jacket. Perfect for wearing around town on cold days.
I do not always take it on backpacking trips. It does not pack or compress well and it takes up considerable volume in a pack. But in the deepest winter when I know it's going to be constantly cold, the R4 makes the trip. I solve the packability problem by WEARING it.
Other reviewers have stated that it is too warm to wear while hiking. For most of the year I would agree, but for near freezing temps or below I think it is ideal.
For one thing, it is easy to vent. The zippered hand pockets are lined with a mesh material and when the pockets are unzipped a lot of venting can take place through the pockets. Sometimes I just unzip the main front zipper.
The windproof membrane makes the R4 comfortable as an outer layer when less active around camp. It is also a fantastic mid layer under a shell.
While I have other coats that I would rate as warmer, such as down parkas, etc., I can't think of any jacket that so noticeably keeps my arms warm. I notice the warmth in my upper arms and pit area almost every time I wear it. The elastic in the cuffs helps to keep the draft out.
One modification I made was to replace the cinch cord and barrel lock at the bottom hem. I dislike the barrel lock and excess shock cord on my right side where it can snag on a pistol. The barrel lock in particular can be dangerous if it gets into a holster. So, I took the jacket to an alteration shop and had elastic put into the bottom hem. I ended up liking the fit even better than original as it snugs up around my hips all the time.
I have been impressed over the years with the R4. So much so in fact that I have begun looking for a replacement. I keep waiting for Patagonia to change the colors with the new year. My jacket is a cool, light sage green. I'm hoping they come out with something similar again.
Last year at Christmas I gave both my sons an R4 (one charcoal gray, one black, still not my color). They both love the jackets and both have worn them as their first choice ever since. Dear old Dad finally got something right.
I used to wear this jacket all the time around town. It was a plush, attractive garment. I've had it long enough now that it shows some battle scars. It has a few small burned spots from campfire embers which in no way affect the performance.
While it's no longer my go-to every day jacket, it can still get the job done. I carry a small bag in my vehicle which has this R4 and a Gore-Tex rain jacket. They live in my car all the time and stand at the ready for the unexpected dip in temp, or rain, or both.
Great casual jacket with wonderful soft warmth. Not…
Great casual jacket with wonderful soft warmth. Not really great for packing, it is not really tuff enough for pack straps or harsh wear. Fit it feminine, not boxy.

Price Paid: $200
I never hit the trail without this fleece.
-Incredibly soft, plush, and comfortable
-Effective ventilation via the stomach-high pockets
-Just about the warmest fleece I have ever had the pleasure to wear
-Absolutely windproof
-Rock solid Patagonia construction
-Layers well
-Looks sharp
-Adjusts easily
-Does not pack too terribly small
-Too warm to wear during hiking or other high-intensity physical activity
If you're looking for a bomb-proof insulating layer for those cold nights at camp, then this is what you're looking for. I cannot recommend it for use while hiking; personally, I get quite hot and sweaty while exercising, so I don't wear too much more than a base layer and a shell while hiking anyway. The pros FAR outweigh the cons.
I've had my R4 for around a year now, and it truly…
Price Paid: E-bay for $80
I've had my R4 for around a year now, and it truly is a wonderful piece of kit. Yes, it is not very breathable; yes, it is as windproof as windproof gets. For strenuous, above 30F hikes I grab my R2, and for colder hikes, or walking around the city, it's the R4 every time. The winds whipping around Chicago skyscrapers in January are tamed by this jacket. Both the R2 and R4 can be thrown into an x-small sea-to-summit compression sack (6x10?) together, and crammed as small as possible, without any worries.
No 5 because the fit is just OK. A bit big in the arms and shoulders is all. Pockets are just where they should be, drawcords hold, and the collar fits my neck great. I am 6'1", 165lbs, and the medium fits me best. I do not miss the lack of drawcord around the neck, nor the lack of velcro at the wrists.
For $80 on E-bay, in that deep blue color, I have never found a better deal.
Not for hiking, unless for rest stops, in which case…
Not for hiking, unless for rest stops, in which case you could take something more packable and lighter. This is due to the thick pile and the water-resistant membrane laminate construction.
Mine is the early design, which was improved somewhat. Pockets are high enough for a pack belt, chest pocket is slanted. Cuffs do not open so the heat builds up, and there are no pit zips. Hem draw-cords don't work as they should. Pile eventually flattens out under a pack.
More of a fishing/photography jacket.
This jacket has real potential as a hard-wearing belay type jacket in my opinion. If Patagonia added a hood, made the cut a bit longer at the back and opened the sleeves, then they would be on to a winner.
I say this because as a warm-up type jacket it can function as an adjustable insulation layer: the heavier pile on the outside of the membrane only really cranks up the heat when you encapsulate it in a shell. You can then remove the outer shell once you heat up and the jacket itself as you heat up further. Therefore, the versatility it has over a synthetic down belay, which only beats this type of material in weight and compression (drying time and water resistance being a moot point, in my opinion, as it depends on the climate you intend to use it in and the habit of carrying a light hard shell), would accompany its advantages in durability, anti-shoulder strap slide and general coziness. Find a way to bond the seams and it could get even better.
Either wait years for that or look for a company making technical fleeces with hoods. As far as I know only Mammut, a company with hardly the widest distribution in the UK (USA?), are making anything resembling the above.
NB: I went up a size for comfort and layering, when I originally purchased this.
I received the R4 as a gift. I have hiked with it…
Fabric: Fleece
Fill: N/A
Price Paid: $215
I received the R4 as a gift. I have hiked with it on numerous occasions as well as used it as my primary winter coat. It works wonders for both. It is very durable and after going camping recently I washed it to get the campfire smell out. You can tell a lot about quality by how something comes out in the wash. I just line dried the jacket.
The only complaint I would have is the ability for this jacket to dry. Being that it has the wind block membrane it takes a while for it to dry completely. I was used to the Polartec windbloc fleece-The Polartec product dried very fast but was not as warm and not as windproof as the R4 Patagonia. Hiking through areas with rock walls with water falling and water fall areas in general is probably not the best place to use this jacket and would recommend using a shell with it, even if it is a low cost parka.
Overall the jacket is great and cannot wait until I can wear it again when it gets cooler. This jacket is very warm and toasty-after a brisk hike in 30-40 degree weather I found myself almost taking it off, but it's a great jacket. The pocket placements are great as well and the chest pocket works well for my Garmin ETrex GPS!

This jacket absolutely keeps the wind out -- even on speedboat rides around Seattle's Puget Sound. Unbelievable. Like any awesome jacket, if worn in mild environments, you will be overheated.

Price Paid: $125 (ebay)
This is a very warm and super comfy jacket. It is the perfect jacket for just kickin' it around town! I don't hike or pack with this jacket, it's too hot for hiking, unless it's freakin' really cold out, and doesn't pack down very small.
The jacket is worth the cash!
Perfect multi-use jacket. I have found no other fleece…
Price Paid: bartered
Perfect multi-use jacket. I have found no other fleece that is comparable to this one and I have done quite a bit of shopping around. Medium fits me great being 5'9" and about 165.

Price Paid: $125 Ebay
I disagree with the previous review. This is the coziest, most comfortable jacket I've ever worn. I'm a slim 6' 5" and the XL fits me perfectly. I've been out all day in 35 degree weather with 25 mph North winds, and this jacket kept my core warm and toasty. It's just a bit stretchy, completely windproof, but very breathable -- never clammy like my old Windstopper fleece I replaced this with.
The quality and detailing are what I've come to expect from Patagonia. I've been looking for a windproof jacket with decent insulating qualities for quite some time. I looked at every soft shell on the market, then tried out a Marmot Gravity soft shell, but returned it due to the boxy fit and lack of insulation.
The R4 is exactly what I was looking for. I probably wouldn't have coughed up $215 for one, but I didn't have to. I'm an extremely happy customer.
To the previous reviewer -- Patagonia does guarantee everything they sell. If it had a defect or didn't fit right, they'd take it back.
This is not a serious piece of outdoor gear. The drawstring…
Price Paid: $170
This is not a serious piece of outdoor gear. The drawstring on the bottom does not hold any tension meaning it doesn't seal effectively, and does not keep me warm. Additionally, the sleeves are not tight enough to keep out the cold, and there's no drawstring on the neck.
All together, this adds up to a very expensive jacket that does not keep me warm. It might serve me well to go to a cafe but I don't drink coffee so I'm SOL.
I bought this on sale (now I know why) after I lost my Mountain Hardwear Link Jacket. The MH was better in every way, and cheaper.

Price Paid: $175
The concept, Thermal Pro fleece in a windproof jacket, is great. However, at 6'2" tall, it barely comes down to the top of my pants, and the sleeves are equally as short. The same is true of the R2 Body Rug and the R2: too short in the torso and the sleeves. Patagonia should make some TALL stuff. I ended up returning the R2, R2 Rug, and the R4. I really wanted them to work because I could tell the fabric was going to do what it was supposed to do, breathe and heat. The EMS Quadzilla works better with High Loft Thermal Pro, and sections of Power Stretch, for a bit less (retail) price. It is long enough and the stretch sections vent well. It is not windproof.

Body of missing Vero Beach nurse found in Melbourne | Map
VERO BEACH -- The chief suspect in the death of his former girlfriend, Diana Duve, remained behind bars at the St. Lucie County Jail late Monday afternoon.
Michael Jones, 31, of 42nd Square Vero Beach, was arrested early Monday morning for violation of probation for aggravated stalking and aggravated stalking with a firearm. No charges have been filed against Jones in connection with Duve. The charges were from a 2012 conviction in Broward County.
Duve was last seen about 1:15 a.m. Friday as she and Jones left the What-A-Tavern at 58 Royal Palm Pointe in Vero Beach.
Concerned that they hadn't heard from their daughter since a text at 1:45 a.m. Friday said she wouldn't be home, Duve's parents contacted police.
Police found Duve's car in a shopping center parking lot early Monday morning off Babcock Street south of Melbourne. A body they believe to be Duve was in the trunk. The Brevard County medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
A few hours later, Jones was located at the Hampton Inn, in the 1900 block of Reynolds Road, west of Fort Pierce. The location of both Jones and Duve's car were determined by cellphone pings from Jones' phone, according to Vero Beach Police.
According to his arrest affidavit, Jones was described as a "violent felony offender of special concern." He was arrested on suspicion of leaving Indian River County without authorization.
When police knocked on the door of the hotel room, he invited them into the hotel room, said Currey. The investigation is continuing and police said they can't say yet if charges will be filed.
While at the restaurant, "They appeared normal," said police spokesman Officer John Morrison Sunday. "They were together" in what had been an off-and-on relationship.
Duve is a nurse at Sebastian River Medical Center; she didn't show for work at 8 p.m. Sunday.
Duve lived with her parents, who called police on Friday, saying she didn't come home. From what police learned, she has never gone off like this before. Police issued an alert on Sunday.
Exclusive: Sebastian nurse Diana Duve broke off relationship with boyfriend because he "was too controlling," her stepfather says

GREENWOOD LAKE - Road crews in Orange County are getting ready for Wednesday's snowstorm.
DPW crews replenished supplies, reloaded trucks and performed truck maintenance in advance of yet another storm.
The department says they expect to use about 300 tons of salt-sand mix during this round of snow and ice. Crews are prepared to work into Wednesday evening.
Snowfall totals are expected in the 3-5 inch range south of I-287 and 6-12 inches north and west of I-287.
A quarter-inch of ice could top the snow, making driving conditions extremely dangerous.

The primary objective of retailers is to get shoppers to buy, and then buy even more. In this digitally-charged world, persuading customers to spend may require finding new ways to engage them. Acting on this premise, a leading U.S. retailer of home merchandise, apparel and automotive products, created a fun and rewarding shopping experience that combines digital signage, mobile phones, and social media. The centerpiece is an intelligent self-service offer center, from which customers can download special offers to their mobile phones. The solution, developed with help from CopiaMobile and Intel, plays targeted advertising in high traffic areas, and supports a mechanism to measure and analyze customer responses to advertisements and promotional offers. The offer center runs on an Intel® processor, which has the computing power needed to simultaneously render high-definition content, generate analytics data, and communicate with the cloud services.
Raise brand awareness
With Anonymous Viewer Analytics technology, retailers can play targeted advertisements to customers, showing them products of interest and making special offers that encourage them to consider buying. The advertisements are targeted by customer age range and gender, data which is collected anonymously using the powerful audience measurement tools provided by the Intel® Audience Impression Metrics Suite (Intel® AIM Suite).
Increase customer understanding
Data cross tabulated from actual sales receipts, the mobile phone app and Intel AIM Suite provides a full "closed loop" measurement of the effectiveness of spending on digital marketing campaigns.
Reduce inventory distortion
When the self-service offer center solution is tied to the inventory management system, retailers can make special offers on overstocked or seasonal items that must be sold quickly and cease advertising out-of-stock items, with the option of suggesting alternative products.

Between Jew and Arab
The Lost Voice of Simon Rawidowicz
Publication Year: 2009
Myers' book is divided into two main sections. Part I introduces the life and intellectual development of Rawidowicz. It traces the evolution of his thinking about the "Jewish Question," namely, the status of Jews as a national minority in the Diaspora. Part II concentrates on the shift occasioned by the creation of the State of Israel, when Jews assumed political sovereignty and entered into a new relationship with the native Arab population. Myers analyzes the structure, content, and context of Rawidowicz's unpublished chapter on the "Arab Question," paying particular attention to Rawidowicz's calls for an end to discrimination against Arabs in Israel, on the one hand, and for the repatriation of those refugees who left Palestine in 1948, on the other.
The volume also includes a full English translation of "Between Jew and Arab," a timeline of significant events, and an appendix of official legal documents from Israel and the international community pertaining to the conflict.

Then & Now: How Does the Cast of 'Batman' Look These Days?
Nearly 25 years ago, Tim Burton's 'Batman' hit theaters. We took a look at how the cast of the blockbuster thriller looked both then and now.
Nearly 25 years ago, Tim Burton's 'Batman' hit theaters. We took a look at how the cast of the blockbuster thriller looked both then and now.
We know it's still the middle of a really long, cold, hard winter, so we thought it might be fun to take a quick trip back to the glorious, warm days of summer.
In 1986, Rob Reiner's coming-of-age tale 'Stand By Me' hit theaters, helping spark the careers of multiple young actors.
If there's one job that's never, ever going to get outsourced, it's babysitting.
Maybe it was really a cat door and they just made a little mistake.
Come on, now, use the people door like you're supposed to.
Ever wonder how the cast of everyone's favorite tale of fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love and miracles looks today?
Kittens playing with dogs. Kittens playing with bunnies. There's even a kitten playing with a hedgehog. A hedgehog!
Puppies have an uncanny knack for breaking down the boundaries around them.
Think you've had a cold winter? Well, okay, you're right, it has been a ridiculously chilly past several weeks. But just imagine if you were insane enough to strip down in these temperatures and voluntarily leap into a pool of ice-cold water.
Ever wondered how Buffy, Willow, Xander and the rest of the Scooby Gang wound up after their adventures in Sunnydale?
Ah, high school. We're so, so, sooooooo glad we're not in high school anymore.

Oriel research chief moves to Numis
A veteran UK banking analyst and head of research at Oriel Securities is set to join rival Numis, to help develop their banking coverage.
Mike Trippitt will join investment bank Numis in mid-December as a director in equity research covering UK banks.
He will be joining James Hamilton and David McCann on the Numis financials team. Numis confirmed the hire.
Trippitt joined Oriel in December 2006, and was promoted to head of research in December 2010, as part of a hiring spree by the firm, which included 11 new hires over the latter part of the year.
However, the firm has since cut back on its headcount. It employed 155 employees at its peak before dropping to 105 at the beginning of September according to a Financial News interview with David Knox, chief executive of Oriel, that month.
Knox said: "With that growth did come the hiring of some really good people, and a greater presence in UK all-cap advisory, so we have benefited through that program in intensifying our service levels to our clients and increasing our market share and standing with those clients."
Trippitt has spent 23 years covering the UK banking sector, having previously spent time at SG Warburg, Schroder Securities and HSBC.
Numis has been busy expanding its research team. In May, the bank also hired Matthew Taylor, from UBS, who joined as the head of the retail team.
In April, Gareth Davies was appointed as a director in media research, joining from Investec, and Chris Spearing was appointed as a director on the real estate research team, joining from Citigroup.
The bank has also had a good year in equity capital markets, winning a place on 11 deals, with a book value of £625m.
In September, Oriel appointed David Knox as chief executive, replacing founding partner Simon Bragg, who is returning from his current sabbatical on a full-time basis as chairman of corporate finance.
Oriel is covering Trippitt's role internally, and has no plans to hire a replacement.

NcSoft announced today that their long-running, superhero MMO franchise City of Heroes, has a major expansion in development for the PC and Mac. Titled, "Going Rogue", the expansion aims to blur the line between good and evil:
"City of Heroes Going Rogue will introduce a new alignment system that helps players explore the shades of gray that lie between good and evil. For the first time, hero characters can become villains and vice versa, enabling hero archetypes to cross over to the Rogue Isles™ and villain archetypes to experience Paragon City™. Clearly marked missions, in addition to behaviors and decisions made by the player, will move a hero's or villain's moral compass, which could eventually change the hero's or villain's alignment."
Here's the accompanying announcement trailer to illustrate the idea in a more bombastic fashion. No details on release dates as of yet. For more check the out the official site here.

Branch competes for the Miss Teen Waco/Austin title
Cheyenne Branch of Bremond was recently selected to participate in the 2014 Cheyenne Waco/Austin pageant competition that will take place on Sunday, February 23, 2014.
Branch learned of her acceptance into this year's competition when the pageant announced their selections following an interview process in the Waco/Austin area. Branch submitted an application and took part in an interview session that was conducted by this year's Waco/Austin Pageant Coordinator.
Branch will be competing, for her share of thousands of dollars in prizes and specialty gifts that will be distributed to contestants. Branch will be competing in the Teen division, one of four divisions that will have young ladies ages 7 through 19 competing in modeling routines, which includes casual wear and formal wear.
Most important, Branch will display her personality and interviewing skills while interviewing with this year's Waco/Austin judging panel. Personality is the number one aspect that each contestant is judged on during all phases of competition.
If Branch were to win the title of Miss Teen Waco/Austin, she would represent Waco/Austin and the surrounding communities at the National Competition that will take place in Orlando, Florida. Over $30,000.00 in prizes and awards will be presented at the National Competition, while each winner enjoys an all expense paid trip of five nights and six days in Orlando, Florida.
Community businesses, organizations, and private individuals will assist Branch in participating in this year's competition by becoming an official sponsor to her. Through sponsorship, each contestant receives all the necessary training, rehearsals, and financial support, which will allow them to become a very confident and well-prepared contestant in this year's Waco/Austin Pageant.
Any business, organization, or private individual who may be interested in becoming a sponsor to Branch may contact the Miss Teen Waco/Austin pageant coordinator at 1 (877) 403-6678.

Happy was I - on the last stop in Quebec on return trip except maybe for the half tank of gas because it was 1.41 a liter - to realize that not only did I already have bags full of good stuff from Marché Atwater but, after getting the squeak causing curds, to also realize that La Fromagerie Atwater has a corner or rather an alcove behind the cash register down a few steps that has over 100 sorts of Quebec craft beer. This was one of them. Action photos of the shopping opportunity below.
Don't think I have had any of the beers from Microbrasserie Du Lac Saint-Jean before. According to this handy pdf of all their beers this is apparently their imperial stout. The pdf says Rang Dix it is 9.7% but the handwritten label says 10.8... or rather 10,8% this being Quebec. It pours an inky blacky-brown with a thick lacing mocha head. It gives off aromas of espresso, dark chocolate as well as maybe a touch of port.
Very attractive. In the mouth, fortunately this is one of the cream sort of imperial stouts rather one of those ash tray meets squid ink concoctions going around these days. Licorice and a bit of burn but only in the middle after dark then milk chocolate waves. A fitting tightening drying hoppy note in the finish. A lovely beer. $7.49 Canadian for 500 ml. Highly rated by a low number of BAers.

"In all likelihood, events are now set to run their course"
A few days ago Roger Pielke Jr. pointed to a paper (PDF) by Tim Dyson of the London School of Economics called "On development, demography and climate change: The end of the world as we know it?" Pielke called it "refreshingly clear thinking on climate change." That's true, if by "refreshingly clear" he means "weep-silently-aplogize-to-your-children-and-throw- yourself-out-a-window depressing." Abandon hope, all ye who download PDF here.
Dyson's argument unfolds in several stages, but the brutal conclusion is simple: "In all likelihood, events are now set to run their course."
Here are the five main points made, quoted directly from the abstract:
- First, that since about 1800 economic development has been based on the burning of fossil fuels, and this will continue to apply for the foreseeable future.
- Second, due to momentum in economic, demographic, and climate processes, it is inevitable that there will be a major rise in the level of atmospheric CO2 during the twenty-first century.
- Third, available data on global temperatures ... suggest strongly that the coming warming of the Earth will be appreciably faster than anything that human populations have experienced in historical times. ... Furthermore, particularly in a system that is being forced, the chances of an abrupt change in climate happening must be rated as fair.
- Fourth ... the range of plausible unpleasant climate outcomes seems at least as great as the range of more manageable ones. The agricultural, political, economic, demographic, social and other consequences of future climate change are likely to be considerable - indeed, they could be almost inconceivable. In a world of perhaps nine billion people, adverse changes could well occur on several fronts simultaneously and to cumulative adverse effect.
- Finally, the paper argues that human experience of other difficult 'long wave' threats (e.g. HIV/AIDS) reveals a broadly analogous sequence of reactions. In short: (i) scientific understanding advances rapidly, but (ii) avoidance, denial, and reproach characterize the overall societal response, therefore, (iii) there is relatively little behavioral change, until (iv) evidence of damage becomes plain. Apropos carbon emissions and climate change, however, it is argued here that not only is major behavioral change unlikely in the foreseeable future, but it probably wouldn't make much difference even were it to occur.
There are only a few places to find some wiggle room in this argument.
It's true that historically, prosperity has been tightly correlated with use of fossil fuels. But it's at least theoretically possible that fossil fuel use could decline sharply, through a mixture of efficiency and other, cleaner sources being brought online. It's also true that much of the damage has been done -- the greenhouse gases already heaped on the climate will continue to have effects for many decades to come, even if we completely halt CO2 emissions tomorrow. But perhaps if we quit adding CO2, the climate changes will be slow enough for us to adapt without catastrophic disruption. Of course, both these would rely on the fifth point being wrong, or rather, describing a pattern that we might be able to break this time. Perhaps the impacts of climate change are obvious enough in far-off regions like the Arctic for us to get a head start on dealing with it.
Anything could happen. The future is unpredictable. But Dyson's paper is a stark, cold reminder of just how high the odds are stacked against us.
(For a little counterbalancing optimism, read Mark Bahner's comments under Pielke's post, or just, you know, go read Worldchanging.)

Austria's Insanity Alert is back!!!!!!
First, my apologies to the band, they notified me of their new music late earlier this year. This was the same that I injured my back and was in agonizing pain and I was in no mood to do anything except rest.
As any good band would do, they kept hounding me and after my surgery and when I was finally out of my pain killer induced haze, I gave their new EP, Second Opinion, a listen.
It sounds like they have stuck to their musical formula of fast, short songs. You can hear the influence of such greats as S.O.D., Suicidal Tendencies, Nuclear Assault and Municipal Waste.
Track Listing:
1. Strength Of The Insane
2. Slimer's Revenge
3. Arac Attack
4. The Infected Zone
5. Twist-Off Betrayal
6. March Of The Mentally Ill
A couple of standouts that I really like are the opening instrumental Strength Of The Insane and the short, but sweet, Twist-Off Betrayal which deals with something all beer drinkers have had a problem with!!!!!
I think this is a great release from these guys and I hope there is more in the future.
Check out the free tunes at http://insanityalert.bandcamp.com/album/second-opinion-2 and you can also check out their Facebook page for more info and photos.

So the picks are in. Whatever opinions you have on the draft picks, they are what they are. Positions have been filled and some needs addressed. But there is still work to be done.
1. Re-Sign Restricted Free Agents
SS Abram Elam, OLB Matt Roth, FB Lawrence Vickers, RB Jerome Harrison. Without these players, Cleveland will have large holes in their defense and an unsettled backfield behind Jake Delhomme.
2. Do Something With Shaun Rogers
Pull the trigger already. Trade him, cut him, make a decision. If Atybah Rubin is the man, then get something for Rogers before he gets locked up or stop paying him money.
3. Free Agency
Rebuild the defensive line. The most glaring problem is the defensive line and pass rush. I would make a run at Elvis Dumervil as Denver used up draft picks to go up and get Tim Tebow. He would be a game-changing acquisition, albeit an expensive one.
WR/S Mike Furry should be re-signed to provide depth on both sides of the ball. A wide receiver is also needed to run routes in the West Coast offense.
Currently, there are no precision route runners on the team and few in free agency. This may require a trade.
Late round draft picks have added value but will be projects that will not impact the above needs in the immediate future.
Fifth Round
Only one pick remained after Cleveland moved up to get Montario Hardesty. With that they took Nebraska strong safety Larry Asante.
6'0" 212 lbs., has adequate speed (4.62 - 40) has a habit of getting behind in coverage. Better in run support. Needs to improve his strength but a solid tackler.
Sixth Round
Clifton Geathers of South Carolina is a big strong defensive end at 6'8" and 300 lbs. He has inconsistencies in pursuit and needs work on technique.
Carlton Mitchell is a big wide receiver with good speed. At 6'3" and 215 lbs., Mitchell has good hips for a big receiver but needs to refine his route running. Better in short yardage routes so could be useful in the West Coast offense.

RUSH: Back to Barbara Wawa. This is shortly after announcing that General Petraeus is for the second time since the year 2010 the most fascinating Person of the Year because of the sex scandal. 'Cause he combined sex, lies, the digital age, with military honor. That's what she said was the criteria. So last night she's presenting the Ten Most Fascinating People, and I've been on it twice, by the way. Full disclosure, I have been on the list twice. I don't think I was the most fascinating. One year I came close to being the most fascinating, early on, early nineties. Anyway, she's talking to Hillary and they had this little chat back and forth.
WALTERS: Will you consider running for president in 2016? Would you just like to make your declaration now and we could conclude this interview?
HILLARY: (laughing) Well, that would be fascinating to me, as well as everyone else. You know, I've said I really don't believe that that's something I will do again. Right now I have no intention of running.
RUSH: She'd be anointed. She doesn't have to run. We played you the sound bites earlier this week. It's already a done deal, 2016, Carville said nobody can beat her, 90% done, just dispense with the primaries. He said "book it" or something like that. Newt says that as the Republican Party's currently constituted that she couldn't be beat, as currently constituted. Newt sent me a note clarifying what he meant, by the way. Well, he thought that I interpreted his comments as the Republican Party could never beat her, and what he wanted me to know was that he doesn't think as it currently is constituted, it couldn't beat her.
So she's been anointed. What is this talk about running? But look, if you're gonna talk to Chris Christie about his girth and the impact that might have on his presidential run, how do you... I better not go there. War on Women stuff.
Yeah, I do know what they're gonna use. Operation Chaos. They are going to point out that I once devoted this program to her getting the Democrat nomination in 2008. "Even Rush Limbaugh was for her at one time." And they will also dredge up the question I asked, and that is do the American people want to watch an aging female president in office? Let me put it differently. Do the American people want to watch a female president age before their very eyes? I did ask that question. They'll dredge that up, too. Now, Barbara Walters then said, "Look, you'll be 69 in 2016, 69." That's a big number on the left, folks. Don't discount it. "If you won two terms, you would be 77. Is your age a concern to you, Mrs. Clinton?"
HILLARY: It really isn't. I am thankfully, knock on wood, not only healthy, but have incredible stamina and energy.
RUSH: That's that 69, again. And so then Barbara Walters said, "Well, I have to ask you this very personal question. Your hair."
HILLARY: (Laughing cackle) I know that it's one of the great --
RUSH: Wait a minute, wait a minute, stop that. Take that back to the beginning. That sound you heard, that's the Arkansas broadbeam. It's a species that has only been found natively in Arkansas. It can survive outside Arkansas. That's the Arkansas broadbeam. Here it is again.
HILLARY: (Laughing) I know that it's one of the great fascinations of our time.
WALTERS: Absolutely.
HILLARY: Much to my amazement.
WALTERS: People said to me, "You're interviewing the secretary of state." I said, "Yes, what should I --" (whispering) "Ask her about her hair."
HILLARY: Well, you know, I do not travel with any hairdresser, and I'm not very competent myself. I've been admitting that for years, which should be obvious to everyone. It just got to be really burdensome to try to find a hairdresser in some city, somewhere --
RUSH: Oh, come on.
HILLARY: -- so I said, "Enough." We're just gonna try to go with as simple as possible.
RUSH: Come on.
WALTERS: Nobody asks the men that.
HILLARY: Have you noticed?
WALTERS: Nobody asks the men.
RUSH: Come on. What is Huma for? Huma does the hair, the formalwear, whatever Hillary needs, Huma's there for it. What is having to find a hairdresser in every city? Come on. She could travel with a hairdresser that could be part of the retinue. Bernardine Dohrn could come in and do it. It looks like some hippie hairdresser from the sixties is doing that. Nobody asks men about their hair. No, no, they don't but here's Barbara Walters talking to Chris Christie, and she said, "Look, you've been criticized for praising Obama during Hurricane Sandy. People have said that you helped him win. Is this unfair criticism?"
CHRISTIE: I was doing my job. I'm the governor of the state of New Jersey, and he offered to help. And so you bet I'm gonna take him up on his offer to help.
WALTERS: Yeah, but I'm gonna be the critic. You didn't have to put your arm around him. You don't have to fly on the plane with him. And you could have said, you know, "Thank you, Mr. President," been a little cooler.
CHRISTIE: So I coulda lied. That's what you're suggesting. I mean, you're suggesting that what I shoulda done was lied because everything I said -- everything I said was the truth.
WALTERS: I'm being the critic.
CHRISTIE: Sure.
WALTERS: You were too effusive. You helped him win.
CHRISTIE: No, I didn't help him win. The fact of the matter is, the president won the election pretty comfortably.
WALTERS: Any regrets?
CHRISTIE: No.
RUSH: And then, ladies and gentlemen, the big finale in the conversation between Barbara Walters and Chris Christie.
WALTERS: I feel very uncomfortable asking this question when I'm sitting opposite you. But you are a little overweight.
CHRISTIE: More than a little.
WALTERS: Why?
CHRISTIE: If I could figure that out I'd fix it, you know.
WALTERS: There are people who say that you couldn't be president because you are so heavy. What do you say to that?
CHRISTIE: That's ridiculous. I mean, that's ridiculous. I mean, I don't know what the basis for that is.
WALTERS: I think they're worried about your health.
CHRISTIE: Well, I've done this job pretty well and I think people watching me for the last number of weeks in Hurricane Sandy doing 18-hour days, getting right back up the next day and still being just as effective in the job, so I don't really think that would be a problem.
RUSH: Okay, so let's move forward now to CNN, Erin Burnett OutFront, Ashleigh Banfield filling in, and she's got a columnist from The Daily Beast, John Avlon, talking about Christie's weight. And the question, "You're a heartbeat away from the presidency when you're a vice president, that was an issue with people talking about him being a possible running mate this time around. When you're the president and you potentially do have health risks, isn't that a fair question for the American people to ponder?" Christie's weight.
AVLON: I'm with Chris Christie on this one. Look, people in the country have seen him responding to Hurricane Sandy, working around the clock, and he's done, by all accounts, an exemplary job. That's what matters. That's the key criteria
BANFIELD: You're right.
RUSH: That didn't satisfy Ashleigh Banfield.
BANFIELD: There is facts behind this. The National Institutes of Health say if you're about 5'11 and weigh 215 pounds, you're considered obese. And the risks that are scientifically associated with being obese are severe. I mean, blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems, certain cancers. That's unavoidable, those are realities. And that, by the way, is just at obese. There are other statistics for being even heavier than that, and Chris Christie's never said how heavy he is, but isn't that a concern for the leader of the free world to be at risk for this many more diseases than the average guy?
RUSH: Yeah, we can't have a guy at risk for that many more diseases than the average guy.

Smile of a Child, Trinity Broadcasting Network's exclusive channel for kids ages two to twelve, has announced the addition of the faith-based animated series Paws and Tales to its weekly program lineup. Based on the best-selling book Paw Paw Chuck's Big Ideas in the Bible, by popular Christian author and pastor Chuck Swindoll, the Paws and Tales animated TV series takes kids into the exciting world of a group of friendly bear cubs—C.J., Staci, Ned, Gooz, and Marsha—as they embark on a host of imaginative and fun-filled adventures around the little community of Wildwood, just east of the picturesque "Bay of Tranquility."
But more than just an entertaining animated series for kids, Paws and Tales is actually a carefully written and produced program designed to teach children important biblical truths in a way that is both engaging and life changing. Through story and song, each Paws and Tales episode serves up a cast of characters who experience exciting adventures while learning important lessons to which children of all ages can relate.
"I am continually amazed at the impact a simple, carefully worded story can have on young lives," said Paws and Tales creator Chuck Swindoll. "Nothing quiets them quicker or so completely captures their curiosity. Our hope and prayer is that every episode of Paws and Tales will provide families with more opportunities to discuss the really important things in life."
Brenda Rossman, programming director for Smile of a Child TV, noted that as the premier inspirational network devoted to children, Smile of a Child has gained a reputation among parents for offering a strong lineup of programming that both entertains as well as morally instructs children during their formative years. "There's certainly been no shortage of educational children's TV programs," said Rossman. "But at Smile of a Child, we've made it a priority to air the kind of programming that emphasizes the moral and spiritual truths kids need for life. That's why we're thrilled to add Paws and Tales to our programming schedule."
Bob Higley, vice president for cable and satellite relations at Trinity Broadcasting Network, added that with more parents insisting on clean, quality television shows for their children, networks have been scrambling to meet the need in a variety of ways. "At TBN we've had a 38-year track record of airing the best in original and exclusive programming that the whole family can enjoy," he said. "And with Smile of a Child TV we're staying ahead of the curve in offering cable and satellite providers with the very best in inspirational programming for children 24 hours every day."
Paws and Tales airs every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 3:30 p.m. (Pacific Time) on Smile of a Child TV. For more information on Smile of a Child TV visit www.smileofachild.tv.

Cher Had Four Miscarriages In A Row
Cher was more relieved than most first-time mums when she gave birth to daughter Chastity after suffering four miscarriages in the mid-1960s.
The superstar has opened up about the pregnancy problems that she and her husband Sonny Bono experienced early in their marriage, admitting she grew tired of announcing her baby news to family and friends and then having to tell them of a miscarriage.
She tells Parade.com, "I lost four kids before Chaz. It's a spontaneous miscarriage, something that spontaneously aborts the foetus. It's called an angry uterus.
"It took a long time for someone to tell me that that's what it was. It just starts to contract, for no reason. After the third time it got to be a nightmare. People would be congratulating me because I was pregnant, and then I wouldn't be, and then they would be like, 'Oh, we're so sorry.' I thought, 'God, I don't want to have to hear this anymore.'"
Chastity, 41, has since undergone gender reassignment surgery to become a man and is now known as Chaz.

Chicago, IL (December 2, 2008) – After an 8 p.m. Mass, the annual torch run in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of the Americas, will take place beginning at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Thursday evening, December 11, at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, 1150 North River Road, Des Plaines.
Representatives from Hispanic parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Chicago, will carry torches blessed by Fr. Miguel Martínez, Rector of the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, to their respective parishes. The torch runners are expected to pass through the suburbs of Rosemont, Schiller Park, River Grove, Elmwood Park and several other Chicago neighborhoods. Upon arriving at their parishes, runners will place the lighted torch at a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the "mañanitas" (songs that honor Mary, the Mother of God) will be sung, followed by Mass at approximately 5 a.m.
This year marks the 477th anniversary of the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, when Hispanic Catholics celebrate the Virgin Mary's multiple appearances to Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, an Aztec native who converted to Catholicism. Between December 9 and 12, 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to Juan Diego several times, including when she asked him to be her messenger to the Bishop of Mexico City. It was on this trip to Mexico's capital city that Juan Diego's dying uncle, Juan Bernardino, was healed and Mary's image was miraculously emblazoned on Juan Diego's cloak. This garment is now on display in Mexico City's Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and attracts millions of pilgrims each year.

File Photo: The new Royal Navy submarine HMS Astute emerges from it's berth after being launched by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall at the BAES shipyard on June 8, 2007 in Barrow-in-Furness, United Kingdom.(Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)2007 Getty Images
BARROW-IN-FURNESS, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 08: The new Royal Navy submarine HMS Astute emerges from it's berth after being launched by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall at the BAES shipyard on June 8, 2007 in Barrow-in-Furness, United Kingdom. Astute is the first nuclear submarine to be launched in the UK for almost a decade. The submarine will be equipped with advanced cruise missiles and torpedoes, giving it more firepower than any previous British attack submarine. The advanced on-board life support systems enables the submarine to circumnavigate the globe without needing to surface. The vessel will start service with the Royal Navy in 2009.

As the 30th anniversary of conflict between Argentina and Britain over the Falkland Islands approaches in April, tensions have been rising between both nations and in the latest verbal dispute Argentina said Friday it has information that Britain sent a nuclear-armed submarine to the South Atlantic near the Islands.
Argentina's Foreign Minister Hector Timerman told reporters at the United Nations that a submarine called the Vanguard with nuclear weapons was recently sent as part of Britain's deployment in the Falklands, which Argentina calls the Malvinas. HMS Vanguard is one of four British submarines armed with nuclear missiles.
"Argentina has information that within the framework of the recent British deployment in the Malvinas Islands they sent a nuclear submarine ... to transport nuclear weapons to the South Atlantic," said Timerman.
He said Argentina asked the United Kingdom through diplomatic channels if it had introduced nuclear weapons to the South Atlantic, but "thus far, the UK refuses to say whether it's true or not."
He said the deployment of nuclear arms in the region would violate the Treaty of Tlatelolco for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean, designed to create a nuclear-free zone in the region.
Britain's U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said later at his own news conference responding to Timerman: "We do not comment on the disposition of nuclear weapons, submarines."
"I don't know how he knows about submarines," he added. "I certainly don't know. The whole point of nuclear submarines is that they go all around the world and you don't know where they are. That's why they're a deterrent."
As for the treaty, Lyall Grant said that there would be no violation as long as nuclear submarines stayed out of Argentine waters.
Argentina and Britain fought a war over the islands that killed more than 900 people in 1982. With the approach of the anniversary of the start of that conflict, which began when Argentina invaded on April 2, tensions have risen between the countries over the status of the British overseas territory.
Argentina claims the islands they call Malvinas, as well as the British-held South Georgia and South Sandwich islands, farther off its coast. At stake are not only the islands themselves -- where sheep far outnumber people -- but rich fishing grounds and potential undersea gas and oil in the surrounding seas.
Timerman said Argentina accepted an offer from Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to mediate with Britain. Lyall Grant said there's nothing to negotiate, because the Falklanders have now been there for nine generations and don't want change.
Britain's defense and foreign ministries on Friday also refused to discuss Timerman's claim about nuclear weapons, citing long-standing government policy not to comment on the deployment or movements of the country's submarines.
Britain's navy has 11 nuclear-powered submarines, seven armed with conventional weapons, including Tomahawk missiles, and four that carry Trident nuclear missiles, which can deliver warheads more than 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers).
Last week, Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reported the U.K. had deployed a Trafalgar-class submarine, armed only with conventional weapons, to the South Atlantic.
"We are not looking to increase the rhetoric. We have not started a war of words." said Lyall Grant. "But clearly if there is an attempt to take an advantage of the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War, we will obviously defend our position and defend it robustly."
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez initially dispatched Timerman to formally complain to the U.N. Security Council that Britain has created a serious security risk by sending the destroyer HMS Dauntless, one of its most modern warships, to the region. Britain called it routine.
Timerman also met Friday with Togo's Ambassador Kodjo Menan, who holds the rotating U.N. Security Council presidency, and Cuban Ambassador Pedro Nunez Mosquera, who heads the U.N. Decolonization Committee.

I would definitely say Britney is a great artist for sure. She's been around 15 years now. She's a grammy winner, tons of #1 hits, sold out the biggest venues in the country, she's an international star, she's a great dancer, she's a so-so singer. When she does a straight up singing, she's really not as atrocious as people make her out to be or as she is in their heads. She's pretty good.
As for Demi, she is obviously being brought on to get and keep the tween audience.
Britney is bring brought on to get and keep the 20-something/30-something audience.

I know they work with them on The Voice. My point is that it's highly unlikely that the judges/mentors choose the song and work out the arrangements every week for their artists. That's my point. They may some weeks but whatever ideas they do have have to run out at some point. Sure, they oversee what their artists do but I think it's a collaborative process between the singer, judge/mentor, record producers/execs, vocal coaches, etc. That is why I think you can get away with having judges/mentors on these shows that aren't even good singers or not singers/performers at all. The record execs know far more about song choice and arrangements than the judge/mentors that are performers anyway. That much has been demonstrated on these shows.

Make EJ/Abby happen, DAYS!
A lot of Hollywood blind items suggest that Demi is still unwell, and that her team is desperately trying to conceal it. I heard she's been to rehab 3 times already this year. I've always had the impression that her camp is more concerned about profiting from the girl, than actually looking out for her. It's sad.
Anyway, for Demi's sake, I hope those blinds aren't true.
