By JOEY SAMUEL
CHESTER, Pa. — Brad Guzan has spent four years as a backup goalkeeper at Aston Villa. But this year, as he and his club prepare for a new Premier League season, the starting spot could be within reach.
Earlier this week, Guzan put pen to paper on a new contract that will keep him at Aston Villa for at least the next three years. The American goalkeeper had been mulling other options since his previous contract ended in June. But he eventually decided it was in his best interest to remain at the club and fight for the starting goalkeeper job.
"I had a really good conversation with the manager," Guzan said after Villa's 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday night. "He said that everyone is going to have a go to make their mark on the team, and at the end of the day, that's all I wanted, to have an opportunity to prove myself.
"If I do well, then great, and if not, I've only got myself to blame," Guzan said. "We have a really good group of goalkeepers at this club, and I think that's a testament to the way we train."
On Wednesday, Guzan played all 90 minutes as he led Aston Villa to a shutout win over Philadelphia at PPL Park. It was the first game in a preseason tour of the United States, which will continue on Saturday in Guzan's hometown of Chicago. Guzan needs all the time he can get to showcase his abilities, as he will have to beat out last year's starter, Irish international Shay GIven, if he is to win the job.
Last season, Guzan made only seven appearances has he filled in for Given when the Irishman went down with an injury in December. But despite GIven starting the vast majority of last season's matches, new Villa manager Paul Lambert insisted Wednesday that the job is up for grabs.
"It's a real difficult position, goalkeeping," said Lambert. "You have to vie for a place with one other guy. Shay Given is a top goalkeeper. The two will battle against each other, and it's an even thing for me at the moment.
"The football club's got Shay Given, who is a fantastic goalkeeper, and Brad, everything I've seen from him has been excellent," Lambert said. "It's an even keel for everybody. I think everybody knows that, and it's great that he's signed at the club again. It's up to the individuals to try and get into the side for the first league game."
Aston Villa will continue their preseason tour of the United States on Saturday, when they face the Chicago Fire. For Guzan, that game holds special significance as he returns to his hometown.
"It helps us to be able to come over and see U.S. fans that obviosuly love the game in England, and at the same time it tests us and allows us to get ready for the season," Guzan said. "For me personally, being able to come back to the U.S., especially like this Saturday going back to Chicago where I'm from, I'm really looking forward to it."
After Saturday's game against Chicago, Guzan and Villa will finish up their tour of the U.S. when they face the Portland Timbers on Tuesday. Aston Villa opens the 2012-13 Premier League season on August 18, when they travel to Upton Park to face West Ham United.
haven't we read this one before? glad guzano's getting paid though
Lampard in the End Zone
Lambert must have been a little more forthright with Guzan in private. He was dead set on leaving – to quickly turn around and sign for three years signals that Lambert, in my opinion, rates him higher than Given.
Given is an excellent shot blocker, but his positioning and coming off the line are suspect.
It really looks like Guzan actually has a chance. But this may motivate Given to do even better. I bet Given is the starter for this season unless he makes a huge mistake and then up to Guzan to keep it. Given is more valuable than Guzan, but Guzan is on much cheaper wages so might be better financially speaking for the club if he starts. But then you don't pay huge money for Given to ride the bench.
either way Guzan is still our no2. Sean Johnson, Bill Hamid and McMath need to move abroad if they ever wanna usurp that role.
Guzan would have been a sure starter in the Championship. I'm suprised he didn't try a chance in maybe Holland or Portugal but i guess even as a no2 in the PL gives you way more than as a no1 outside it.
Old School
Might as well get paid.
Not sure I agree with the prospect of staying at Aston Villa but wish him the best.
Brain Guy
Speculating here, but it seems like the money is great, and he realizes that the #1 job with the MNT is Howard's for the foreseeable future, even if Guzan were the #1 keeper somewhere else, and he still makes the squad as Howard's backup even if he's #2 at Villa.
In one of the Birmingham papers Guzan says the reason he stayed was that he liked Lambert's "vision for the club" after they spoke.
What that means is anyone's guess but people over there are speculating that Lambert is more inclined to give Guzan a better shot at the job, should Given slow down. Lambert's history at Norwich where he played Ruddy almost every possible game, would seem to argue against that but then again he did not have two nearly equal keepers like he does now.
With a three year contract, time is on Guzan's side. Management obviously wants Guzan to beat out Given so they can cut Given's 3.5 million for five years contract.
If the two perform more or less equally, then younger, cheaper and healthier always beats out, older, more expensive and more brittle.
Given is more experienced and more battle tested but that did not help Villa last year. I see no reason why Guzan can't be as good or better than Given and do so very soon.
If Villa is going to be challenging for honors then Lambert will try to keep the two keeper thing. If not then Guzan will get the nod permanently and Given will be sold off in the January transfer window.
If you are a USMNT fan you want Guzan to beat out Given since Brad is the only US keeper currently capable of keeping the pressure on Howard, something that is necessary.
Yep. I gotta imagine this is the easiest option as well. His only competition are 3 young MLS starters so it's not as if he can be dropped to no6 on depth overnite. He's our no 2 on the way to Brazil
Michael F. SBI Mafia Original
I was bummed actually that he didn't go to another EPL team where he's have a better shot at starting. I believe he's better that maybe half of them, or am I way off here. I have to believe with the guy above who speculated Lambert gave him more than lip service to get him to re-sign. I say he starts Game 1 of the season. You heard it here first!
Lava lamp
IIRC Brad Guzan did great when Given got injured last spring for like a 4 or 5 weeks. I At the time it seemed to me that he was shoring up the Villa defense alot better than Given had been, AND EVEN THOUGH HE WAS DOING GREAT HE STILL HAD TO TAKE A BACK SEAT TO GIVEN.
Hope he got a good signing bonus this summer.
Is he finally ready to challenge for the spot? What has he been doing the rest of his time there?
Mike in Missouri
If Given plays as poorly for AV as he did Ireland last month, Guzan shouldn't have any problem beating him out.

Redhurst, Cont.Mature
Noman stepped off of the Headwind with a profound sense of relief. He took a deep breath, forcing tense muscles to relax now that he was back on solid ground. He spared a look back at the flying death trap, wondering how it could have possibly made the trip without plummeting to the ground. There wasn't an ounce of magic in it's construction, not a single rune or spell. And yet somehow, with only the aide of some flimsy spinning blades, it flew.
He hadn't wanted to get on the thing at all, of course. But Hatchet had insisted that The Captain wanted to see him as soon as possible, and that meant taking the Headwind. Noman had refused at first, but Hatchet's not so subtle threat of force had made him reconsider.
He was far from the only passenger, of course, and along with those refugees lucky enough to secure a spot were the mages. Most of them looked dead on their feet, and two appeared injured. If they noticed him or recognized him for what he was they didn't give any indication. Even so their presence made him uneasy. The view from the windows as the Headwind rose into the sky made him even more uneasy, and it was enough to drive Noman to find somewhere with neither. He settled on the cargo hold, the ever watchful Hatchet accompanying him. Though it was occupied by a number of refugees none of them took particular note of him or his escort, content to keep to themselves so long as he did the same. He'd spent the rest of the trip unsuccessfully trying to forget they could all fall to their deaths at any moment.
With a shudder of disgust he turned away from the Headwind, fixing his gaze instead on the imposing skyline of Redhurst. It didn't do much to improve his mood. He glared at it, at the factory smoke stacks with black smoke billowing skyward from them. He made an unhappy noise.
"Yeah," Hatchet agreed, walking up beside him. "Definitely not as scenic as Marsten." Noman looked over at him and raised an eyebrow. When he looked back at Redhurst he was thoughtful. He recalled his words with Airea at the Red Manor, before they'd left Marsten. That she was jealous of technology, that unlike magic it was something man had accomplished for himself, without the aide of the gods. Yet as he looked at its ugly side effects and thought back to the ride on the Headwind he found that his immediate reaction was the same as it had always been.
He didn't like technology. There was something wholesome about magic, something natural and right and trustworthy that technology didn't possess. Yet technology was humanity's achievement. It offered a future without need for the gods or magic, and that was something in and of itself.
He realized Hatchet had taken a step away and looked to see what had drawn the Watchman's attention. There was someone in military attire jogging across the airfield towards them. Having seen both the Watch and Marsten's army, he guessed it must be one of Redhurst's soldiers.
"One of you Noman?" the man asked, looking from one to the other.
"That's me," Noman replied.
"Sergeant Karo," the soldier introduced himself with a quick salute to Hatchet, who looked the most military of the two.
"Watchman Hatchet, of Marsten's City Watch," Hatchet introduced himself. "What can we do for you, Sergeant?"
"There's a carriage waiting to take you both to the castle," Karo told them. "I have orders to bring you there as soon as you're ready."
Hatchet and Noman shared a glance. "We won't keep you waiting then," Hatchet told him. "Let's go."
Volker watched them leave from across the airfield, wondering what business they were off to. He'd never seen Noman before, but it was easy to guess. Rumor had spread, as it had a way of doing, that the Summoner had been freed from the Ivory Tower before the demons attacked. Looking at the brooding figure walking away with a Watchman and a soldier of Redhurst Volker felt the extra senses of a mage telling him 'here is someone with power'.
"How is he?" he heard Gilead ask. He turned away from the Summoner and back towards the mages he'd arrived with. The question was about Dasker, still unconscious on a cot after the battle in the Tower. It was the chief reason the mages had been given a spot on the Headwind, though Ganner's head injury and the exhaustion of the others and also contributed. They moved slowly, painfully so to Volker's eyes. In some ways they seemed older than Elias, and the elder mage himself was subdued and silent.
"He's fine for now," the healer attending Dasker replied. "Though the sooner we get him into a proper bed the better."
"And there we have our next question," Volker said, mostly to himself. Oh, Dasker and Ganner would be taken to a proper hospital. Maybe the others would as well, until they recovered from their exhaustion. But what about after that? Were they to settle into tents with the rest of the refugees? The thought was not one that appealed to him. Unfortunately Redhurst did not have a mages guild of its own, so he could not appeal to them for lodging. There had been one at one point, of course, though they had ceased to exist along with the guilds from other cities as belief in the old gods faded. And there, perhaps, was an opportunity. After all, he thought, even if Marsten could be retaken if might not survive the process, and that meant the mages guild would need a new home.
That new home could be Redhurst, but they would need to make their place in it. For a city so invested in technology that would be a difficult proposition. Convincing the other mages that it needed to be done would be... Volker looked them over curiously. He wasn't sure just how the others would respond to the idea.
"Elias," he asked as they gathered themselves up and headed towards the city's gates, "Without Sarrus, who's in charge of the guild?"
At first he thought the elder mage hadn't heard him. Elias walked along in silence, eyes fixed on the city before them. At last he drew in a measured breath and said, "I have seniority." It wasn't really an answer, of course, and he knew it wasn't what Volker had really been asking. With a wry smile he added, "Of course, I had seniority when..." and he paused to take another breath, "When Sarrus took over."
"Yet you let him lead," Volker commented. Elias nodded. "Why?"
"Because he wanted to," Elias replied simply.
"And you didn't?"
Elias gave him an amused look and said, "No." His look turned serious as he regarded Volker. "Do you?"
"That's not why..." Volker started, but he let the response die on his lips. Maybe it was why he'd asked.
"Someone should," Elias added, taking in a haggard breath. "They will not welcome us. They have... no use for magic, here.... No use for us."
"No," Volker disagreed. "We can show them its uses. It doesn't have to be just technology or just magic. It can be both. I started to show them that back in Marsten. We can do the same here." Elias gave him a skeptical look. "It's the only way forward," Volker insisted. "If we cling to the old way of doing things we'll just fade away with it, become a footnote in history along with magic. Is that what we want?"
"We should have a meeting," Elias conceded. "Once everyone is... feeling up to it. For what it's worth... I agree. Not happily, mind... but I agree."
Volker nodded. They were nearly to the gates now, the heavy walls of Redhurst towering over them. "I'll work on finding us somewhere to stay," he promised. "And then I'll work on making us a place here. I'll meet you at the hospital later "

Brigitte Bilodeau used to be obsessed with money. The 33-year-old could not stop thinking about earning it, saving it and spending it - all on a grand scale. 'I wanted to be a millionaire. I thought it would prove that I was worth something.'
Brigitte started a London-based computer consultancy. Over seven years she built it up to employ five people and turn over £500,000. She was working day and night, but on track. Then, this year, something sent everything 'off the rails'. Her marriage broke down. 'I refused to see a problem. I just didn't want to face up to it. So I started drinking to forget.'
Soon Brigitte was in a 'downward spiral of depression'. When she hit the bottom she realised a re-evaluation of priorities was needed. 'I had to think about what the hell I was doing and why. My push to earn money meant I'd lost my husband and neglected my daughter.'
In May, Brigitte took action. She sold her business, got out of IT and trained as a personal coach. She now works from home for 30 hours a week instead of 65, and spends time with her two-year-old.
The career change has meant a 75 per cent pay cut. She went from earning £2,000 a week to £2,000 a month. She had to move out of a large detached house. No designer clothes. No fancy restaurants. Personal expenditure has become less spontaneous.
'I used to just buy what I liked whenever I liked. I'd never think about how much it cost or whether I really needed it.'
Now Brigitte has written a strict budget, and has to stick to it. But there are benefits in her new frugality. 'There is a lot to be said for having to wait for things. It makes you appreciate them a lot more when you do finally get them.'
Brigitte regrets the collapse of her first marriage and the fact that, for a few months, she was 'not there' for her little girl. But she does not regret downshifting. 'My values were all out of whack. Now I know what matters.'

As I write this, a hunger strike of some proportion is spreading through California's prisons. It is the largest strike of its type in the history of the state, involving thirty thousand inmates, a quarter of all those incarcerated in California.
What are the foci of the prisoner's complaints? The first is a common gripe—working in the prisons I heard it all the time— overcrowding, terrible food, general hassling and cruelty by staff—these are the tinder that has historically sparked so many uprisings.

A topless girl was spotted on a Florida beach during Spring Break. She was surrounded by White boys. Someone took her picture and put it on Twitter.
The Social Justice Warriors became hysterical and determined that she must be a victim of a White fraternity gang rape. After all, the vicious gang rape at the University of Virginia made us all more aware of the RAPE CULTURE. Well, that incident may have been a hoax. But that does not matter. What matters is that it COULD have been real. As such, the hoax provides proof the of the rape culture. So the hoax at the University of Virginia helped the SJWs concluded that this girl must also be a victim. Why else would a girl be topless on a beach?
So, unbelievably, a topless girl on a beach sparked a nation wide police manhunt. (Somehow, I can't imagine this happening in France.)
Yes, this is the bizzaro world that we live in. A fat lesbian marching down the street in a Slut Walk is EMPOWERING. A cute girl topless on the beach must be a RAPE victim.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - January 19, 2003, New Braunfels, Texas DAVID INGRAM/HerakJ-Zeitung Aaron Perez mans the camera as Laura MacDougald interviews Jennifer Flores. The three are students in Laura Fleming's journalism class at Canyon High School. In addition to producing video projects that are shown around campus, they also help run a low-power radio station. KOOG, at the school. STUDENTS/From 1A "The signal can be picked up in the parking lot." Perez said KOOG-97 plans more programming. "We're in the works of getting together a morning show; it's more of a debate about different concerns because I know' I have concerns about the war and the draft. I'm determined to be a news anchor on television, but if that doesn't work out, news radio is fine. I get a lot of good comments on my voice." On the video side, students shoot anything from simple video profiles to news feature packages. "Right now, I'm starting them on their own documentaries," Fleming said. 'They also do stuff in the community, like sports-ban-quet videos, and they filmed the debutante ball. For some of them, they pick it up later in college as a career path." In the background, students talked away, but it was like being in a TV studio. Work was being discussed. "We're brainstorming," said Lisa Ellis, 17. "We're thinking of doing a documentary on local bands — Christian bands." "What goes into a band behind the scenes," her video partner, Jake Rutherford, 16, said. "We're doing a documentary about making a clay-mation video — buying the clay, shaping it, and shooting it," said Jesse Ladshaw, 16. "We're gonna have friends participate. We want to show all the frustrations you go through." Schonoff and his partner, Rob Ladshaw, 17, have already made a claymation video titled "Santa vs. the Gingerbread Man," a combination Rudolph-The-Red-Nosed Reindeer dr.Bill-stvle video. It took seven hours to make. "You have to make sure your fingers stay out of the camera; you have to atop the figure and film him each time when he moves. It takes patience," said Schonoff. "For Christmas, we're developing concepts and subplots. We've had a lot of fun, but we may to bleep some things out." "No serious bleeps. No serious Jerry Springer bleeps," Fleming said. "But we want to be realistic," Ladshaw, said, laughing. "A lot of the best stuff we do here, they just discuss it and it comes up," said Fleming. "It's a great group, really a good group." And with another group across town at New Braunfels High School, advanced broadcasting teacher Della Stevens has her 40 students recording video newscasts. Those newscasts update stu dents on school, New Braunfels and national news. Once recorded in the newly-renovated classroom, the broadcasts are aired weekly over the "Unicorn Broadcasting Network" in the cafeteria during lunches. That way, students can see and hear the announcements. The next series of stories will be about registration, Stevens said. Stevens said she likes her job. "I just really enjoy the creative aspect of it, especially editing videos. Its really a lot of fun. Theres a huge learning curve in it and I really enjoy it." The students? "They're great. The kids we attract are creative, and they're independent." FOLLOW THS ,o&ON U. VI wVJI Off THUR ROAD TO TM STATE FINALS. TM ENTIRE SEASON HAS BEEN CAPTURED IN PHOTOGRAPHS, NOW AVAILABLE ON CD.

The apex court also directed release of Reliance ADAG managing director Gautam Doshi, Sanjay Chandra, Vinod Goenka, on furnishing two surities of Rs5 lakh each
The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted bails to five corporate executives who were arrested for their roles in the second-generation (2G) spectrum allocation scam allegedly involving former telecom minister A Raja and Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi's MP daughter Kanimozhi. This is the first bail the 2G spectrum case granted by the apex court.
A bench comprising Justices GS Singhvi and HL Dattu directed release of accused from Tihar Jail including Reliance ADAG managing director (MD) Gautam Doshi, Hari Nair and Surendra Pipara, Unitech MD Sanjay Chandra and Swan Telcom's director Vinod Goenka, on furnishing two sureties of Rs5 lakh each.
The accused had moved the apex court challenging Delhi High Court and trial court orders turning down their bail pleas. The Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) had opposed their release on bail saying they could approach the trial court for relief.
The bail plea of Ms Kanimozhi and four others is due to come up for hearing before the Delhi High Court on 1st December. Other accused in the case include Mr Raja's private secretary RK Chandolia, who is a suspended IRS officer, and former Telecom Secretary Siddhartha Behura. Swan Telecom promoter Shahid Usman Balwa, his cousin Asif Balwa and their colleague Rajeev Agarwal, besides DMK-run Kalaignar TV MD Sharad Kumar and Mumbai filmmaker Karim Morani are the other accused arrested in the 2G spectrum case.
The CBI chargesheeted 14 persons in the 2G scam, with Mr. Raja being the first to be arrested on 2 February 2011, along with Mr Behura. Three telecom companies, Reliance Telecom Ltd, Swan Telecom and Unitech (Tamil Nadu) Wireless Ltd too have been listed as accused in the CBI charge sheet.
Theoretically right, practically tough
Axis Mutual Fund has filed an offer document to launch Axis Focused 25 Fund, an open-ended equity scheme. The scheme will invest 65%-100% in equity of 25 companies chosen from the top 200 in terms of market capitalisation. It will invest up to 35% in debt and money-market instruments with low- to medium-risk profile. We already have some 16 existing schemes with a similar objective. They have not done that well. Will Axis Focused 25 Fund do any better than the existing well-performing schemes?
Focused funds—portfolios with only a couple of dozen holdings—are getting attention in a market where stock selection is more important than ever. But focused fund managers have to tackle risk more proactively. They have less room for error. They emphasise in-depth stock research—digging into a company's business and the quality of its finances and management, looking for the top prospects in myriad industries. And, as an extra cushion, managers have to buy shares at a discount to what they believe is the actual worth. Is this possible for all fund managers? It is tough. Take a look at the table.
over time. The benchmark for the fund is S&P CNX Nifty.

text: Nurses at Eastern Maine Medical Center are back to work Tuesday.Monday, they were on the picket line.The nurses say they want to keep this issue in the public, and they did so dressed for the weather outside the hospital to begin their one day strike.Unionized nurses gathered along state street before sunrise and stood with their signs amid the falling snowflakes, all to get their message out to those who went by." We have no question that we're doing the right thing we know when we're short staffed," said EMMC Nurses Union President " We know when we need extra help, we know when charge nurses are taking too many patients, and to have the public respond to us in this manner we know that we're doing the right thing."Eastern maine medical center administration says they have a mission to provide safe and quality care, no matter the circumstances." We have an obligation to the community that no matter what happens even if our own nurses decide to withhold their services as leverage for bargaining that we still have to fulfill our mission so we're pleased with what's going on and frankly we hope that there's not another strike but you really can't predict that," said Greg Howatt Human Resources Director at EMMC.But come seven am Tuesday, the nurses will put away their signs, put on their scrubs and go back to work." They are having us herd in to the backside of the cafeteria at seven o'clock in the morning and in their words, they will deploy us to our nursing areas. I guess several groups at a time," said Brown." We'll have our patient assignments and patient handoff from one nurse to the next with our leadership nurses." said Paul Bolin Director of Employee Relations at the hospital. " The replacement nurses will be leaving at the same time that the returning nurses will be coming back to the floor so we want to avoid that awkwardness so the two groups don't have any situation where anyone is uncomfortable."The next round of negotiations is set for monday the 29th, and neither side is certain of how this lockout and strike will impact those contract talks." This is never about wages never has been, it's always been about trying to get some sort of agreement that will help us with staffing we've narrowed down proposals to try to make baby steps and in an attempt to be flexible and we need some flexibility on the other side," said Brown. " Meet in the middle is not what is going to solve this. I've told people compromise is often the right thing to do, but we believe strongly that we're standing on principle," said Howatt.

Sports Marketing & Sponsorship
Sports sponsorship has been one of the effective communication tools of many corporations in Hong Kong. Being the training base for elite and potential athletes, the Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI) organises a number of talent identification, training and development programmes which welcome corporate sponsorships.
Currently, the HKSI organises programmes such as Athlete Incentive Awards Scheme, Hong Kong Coach Education Programme, Outstanding Junior Athlete Awards, International Sports Science Symposium, etc. Major sponsors of HKSI include The Hong Kong Jockey Club and Hang Seng Bank.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club Elite Athletes Fund (the Trust Fund) was established in 2004 to support elite athletes in Hong Kong. In 2013/14 the Trust Fund contributed HK$9.0 million to the HKSI for its Direct Financial Support to athletes, as well as a further HK$1.23 million as incentive payments for participation in Major Games.
Organised by the HKSI since 1994, the Athlete Incentive Awards Scheme provides cash awards to medal winners at seven Major Games. Hang Seng Bank ("HSB") began to sponsor the Scheme in 1996 to provide additional cash incentives to local athletes who achieve outstanding performances at the Olympic Games, the Paralympic Games and the National Games, and further included winning athletes at the East Asian Games commencing in 2005. HSB extended its cash incentives to medallists at the Asian Games and Asian Para Games to further support the development of local sports in 2010. To date, over HK$44 million has been awarded to 456 local athletes by the HKSI and HSB.
The Hong Kong Coach Education Programme ("HKCEP") was established in 1991 with over 86,700 coaches benefited from its training and recognition programmes throughout the years. The major components of the HKCEP include Coach Accreditation Programme, Continuing Coach Education Programme, School Coach Education Programme and Coaching Awards.
To play a part in fostering elite athletes' development, you may simply send your donation cheque addressed to "Hong Kong Sports Institute Limited" attached with a cover note stating the donation target (e.g. "Hong Kong Sports Institute", names of HKSI Elite Sports National Sports Associations, or individual HKSI Scholarship Athletes), and mail to:
Public Affairs & Marketing Department
Hong Kong Sports Institute
25 Yuen Wo Road
Sha Tin, N.T.
Hong Kong
The HKSI has charitable status under section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (http://www.ird.gov.hk/eng/pdf/e_s88list_emb.pdf). Should sponsors or donors need an official receipt of HK$100 or above for claiming tax deduction, please write down the contact information including name, telephone number and corresponding address on the cover note. The HKSI would acknowledge sponsors and donors through many channels of the HKSI such as publications, website, display panel, etc. HKSI publications include: HKSI Annual Reports, Sports Excellence and Sports Bulletin, etc.
For more information about sponsorship, donation, advertising and naming rights of the HKSI programmes, please feel free to call us on 2681 6375 or write to email@example.com.

The Neolithic Ceremonial Complex at Niuheliang and Wider Hongshan Landscapes in Northeastern China

This paper reviews the current evidence for settlement patterns and ceremonial activity amongst Hongshan Neolithic groups in northeastern China, with particular attention to the well-known ceremonial site at Niuheliang. We consider the location of Hongshan ceremonial sites in their wider landscape settings, arguing that such sites are a chronologically late stage of Hongshan ceremonial investment and that, within these broad complexes, the most impressive architecture and portable goods come from an especially late phase of activity. These more impressive localities were also particularly privileged places in terms of their access to major routes, specific kinds of local geology and integrated patterns of visibility. In contrast to more loosely organized Hongshan residential sites of similar size, ceremonial centres such as Niuheliang (and, within these, certain important sub-localities) clearly functioned as key mechanisms for social, political and regional stratification around roughly the mid 6th millennium BP.

no dorms…
Community college doesn't have dorms, so why not!…
Never had dorm life, but most likely in any college; there is no different.…
There is no dorm life, unfortunately. The campus life is amazing though. If there was a campus life however, it would be great.…
There are two cafes and two coffee shops, one at each campus. The food at the cafes are delightful and the drinks at the coffee shops are spectacular, particularly the smoothies at the coffee shops.Read More
The on-campus cafe is over priced and not that great. There are food trucks though that come to the school every so often, and are mainly from local restaurants which are really good! Also, there is a lot of restaurants around the area, family owned as well as chains.Read More
Decent food in the cafeteria!Read More
There are plenty food and dining opportunities at all of the Reynolds locations. Whether it's snack machines to grab a quick bite to eat, cafe's to dine with friends, or nearby vendors and/or restaurants.Read More
The food service is alright. It is not horrible, but it is not exceptional either. However, the staff helps make up for that. They are very friendly and will remember your name if you interact with them. I suggest that you bring your own main course (such as a sandwich), then purchase the array of snacks available at the dining area (fruit, granola bars, sports drinks, etc)Read More
Decent cafe.Read More
Options are available but can be expensive. Packing your own lunch is often cheaper.Read More
GREAT at the Downtown (DTC) campus, ALOT of options, but ONLY CASH. The dining room area right in front has a lot of seating, multiple varieties and LOTS of OUTLETS-barley any at PRC. The Paraham (PRC) road campus, the people are rude and VERY EXPENSIVE for barley any options. I've never been to the Goodchland campus so I'm not sure.Read More
Reynolds has a basic cafe in the campus that has plenty of option to choose from all day. The staff is very helpful and sweet and very caring. If cafe food is not for you and not in the mood for the typical burger and fries lunch or sandwich there are many restaurants within five minutes of each campus to choose from.Read More
There is no Greek Life that I know of.Read More

Downer's Grove Revisited
€ 20,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
September 2003
BeschreibungOn a May evening in 1832, a solitary 50-year-old man on horseback rode toward an oak grove that rose majestically from the quiet Illinois prairie. Stopping at this beautiful site, the man bent a sapling to mark his claim to the rich Illinois farmland that would be his for the settling. In that singular act, Pierce Downer founded the town that would bear his name: Downers Grove, Illinois.
He could hardly have imagined the remarkable development of the bucolic prairie town, 22 miles west of Chicago, as it grew to a thriving suburb with a population of nearly 50,000. Many unique and influential people have shaped the history of Downers Grove.

Overrated Junk (275W PSU) 03/17/2014
This review is from: COOLMAX CX-400B 400W ATX v2.01 Power Supply
Coolmax has been "updating" this model of PSU, but mostly downgrading it further. It does have some pros though...barely.
It uses a nice quality fan, and even though it's wired straight to the 12V all the time (No thermal fan control whatsoever) it stays quiet, and the bearing has plenty of grease so it shouldn't fail.
The older revision of this PSU used the infamous two transistor circuit for the +5VSB, which wasted a lot of electricity and killed lots of motherboards. They updated it with an 8 pin IC to generate the +5VSB which is a lot more efficient and isn't prone to frying your motherboard.
Everything else... The old revision (Circa 2009) could pump out about 350W, this one is capable of about 275W (With a very mixed rail load).
It claims two 12V rails capable of 348W. HA! It only has one rail, and it uses a 16A ultra fast rectifier. Since the fan runs fast keeping it cool, I bet it could do the full 16A, but that's only 192W...Almost 90% of your computer uses the 12V. That makes this basically a 200W PSU in a modern system. And if you load it up, that 12V rail is going to sag quite a bit...
Other Thoughts:
Don't give these guys your money, they don't deserve it.

Summary: What could happen when the pain from one forbidden love became unbearable?
A/N: Written for pairechallenge's prompt #27 "Fate".
Thanks to my wonderful beta: Alex!
Claire was standing on the edge of her window. She looked down and felt the cold wind against her face. A sad little smile appeared there and she thought that this was it; this was the last thing that she was going to do in her short life. The hems of her raincoat fluttered like the wings of a small bird. Claire knew that this was going to happen someday; she was supposed to die and she knew it, but it had come just a little bit early.
'I'm Claire Bennet, and this is attempt number nine,' she murmured with a sad smile. There was no camera this time; she was as alone as she had ever been in her whole life. Claire stepped into the empty space and hung in the air. For a brief moment she thought she was flying, then her body smashed on the ground and left her numb.
Her body simply refused to die.
Her soul was dead already, but her body was not.
She felt the pain when she woke up. Her bones popped up in their places and she sat on the cold ground with a feeling of emptiness. She had died, but again she survived.
'What the hell are you doing, Claire?'
Claire shut her eyes from the pain. Peter's voice echoed close to her.
'I'm trying to die!' She got off the ground and saw the blood immediately.
'Why?' Peter grabbed her shoulders and shook her. Claire looked up at him and saw that he was angry.
'Because… I wanted to,' she snapped and pulled away. Peter did not have to see the pain in her eyes; he did not have to feel it. Claire turned her back to him.
'This is not your first time!' Peter placed his hand on her shoulder, but she jerked away and his hand hung in mid air. 'What is wrong with you?'
'Nothing.' Claire snapped. He did not have to understand.
'You weren't like this before.' His voice echoed close to her ear and she shivered. 'What happened with you Claire? Tell me!'
'I…' She turned around and sank into his eyes. Peter touched her face and wiped away her tears. Claire swallowed hard; she was crying after all. 'It's nothing.'
'I can't help you if you don't want to talk to me.' Peter's fingers lingered over her face. 'Tell me…'
'I don't want you to help me.' It killed her, but she pulled back. 'Please go now.'
'Claire.' Her name was like a gasp. His voice was so soft that she could almost feel it over her skin. Claire closed her eyes and pulled back.
'Claire, please!' Peter tried once again and she could not resist the plea in his eyes. Claire's heart ached.
'You can't save me this time Peter!' She whispered. 'I don't want to be saved!'
'I could try.'
'No, you couldn't!' She gave him her sad little smile and sank into the darkness of the night.
A few days later, she tried again. This time she snagged her father's gun and hid in her bathroom. The mansion was big and no one would hear the sound of the shot. Claire had tied her golden hair back. She looked so much older than she used to; not in her face, but her eyes looked old and tired.
Claire had cried again; her eyes were red and sore. This time she wanted it to be for the last time.
'I'm Claire Bennet, and this is attempt number ten,' she uttered and placed the gun to her head. 'Bye Claire.' She smiled bitterly and her index finger hooked on the trigger.
'No! Stop!' She heard Peter's voice again and Claire sighed tiredly.
'You cannot stop me, Peter!'
'Yes! I can!' He placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her around with her face to him. 'Stop doing this to yourself!'
'This is for the last time.' Claire sighed and put the gun down. Her eyes avoided his. 'It's too painful to me to be here, Peter. Please, just let me go.'
'Why, Claire? Why are you doing this?' He persisted, and she knew that he would not give up so easily.
'My heart is broken and it can't be fixed.' Her eyes met his and she bit her lower lip. 'It hurts too much to live.'
'No.' He reached out his hand and touched her face. Her breath hitched and the giant knot in her throat showed up again. 'You can't die like this! You can do so much more with your life.'
'What is the point?' Claire leaned on his palm; she could not resist it. 'In the end I'm going to be alone here.'
'No, you won't be alone.' His thumb skimmed over her cheekbone and she swallowed hard. 'I'm going to be here.' He hesitated. 'With you.'
'That hurts even more.' Her lower lip trembled. 'Don't you get it? I can't be here!'
'Too many questions, Peter.' Claire licked her lips and reached out her trembling hand to touch his face. 'You were good with me. You were the only one that could make me feel safe. You were and still are my hero. This won't change, no matter what happens.'
'Claire.' He whispered.
'But I can't do this. I cannot live like this anymore. I have to do this!' Claire tried to smile, but it did not work. The tragedy of her life peered through her wet, green eyes.
'Then shoot me first.' Peter grabbed her hand which was holding the gun and placed it against his forehead. 'I can't watch you do this. If I can't stop you, then you won't be alone.'
'No!' Claire hissed and shook her head furiously. 'No! I won't shoot you!'
'Why?' He challenged her. His eyes darkened. 'It's not hard. Just pull the trigger.'
'No!' She screamed and the gun slipped out from her numb fingers. 'Why are you doing this? Why?'
'Because you are not alone!' Peter released her hand and bent down. He took the gun in his hand. His hazel eyes met her green ones. 'You are never alone!'
'Stop!' Claire cried out and fell on her knees, sobbing. 'Stop doing this. It hurts me.'
'What?' Peter knelt before her and slid his hand under her chin, forcing her to look at him.
'I can't live knowing that you are not here anymore.' She shook her head. 'I can't live in this world without you!'
'And why do you think that I can do the same?' He placed the gun on the floor, beside him.
'What?' she sobbed. He took her face between his palms.
'I told you – you are not alone, Claire.' His lips almost touched hers. 'You are never alone.'
Then he kissed her and she wanted to cry even louder. He felt her shaking in his hands and pulled back to look into her sad eyes.
'I love you, so much!' She sobbed. 'It hurts me and I can't stop!'
'I know that pain.' He crooked his face. 'I loved you from the moment I saw you.' His thumbs caressed her cheeks. 'It hurt me too and I know what it's like, Claire. I know how you feel.'
'Now?' She sniffed.
'Now… you are not alone.' Peter sat on the bathroom floor and took Claire in his arms. She was crying again. 'You are not alone, Claire.'
The gun had been forgotten. There were no more attempts.
Now it was time for the lies. It was time for them and their love.
That was their fate… Their destiny.

France is to create 2,680 new jobs and boost spending by €425m (£325m; $490m) to bolster counter-terrorism efforts, Prime Minister Manuel Valls has said.
He said such resources were crucial to dealing with an expanded extremist threat, with 3,000 people currently requiring surveillance across France.
Mr Valls was laying out the government's plans following attacks in Paris in which 17 were killed.
Earlier, a prosecutor gave details on four men charged over the attacks.
Three of the men are alleged to have helped supply arms to Amedy Coulibaly, who is believed to have shot dead a policewoman on 8 January, a day before attacking a Jewish supermarket in Paris where four hostages were killed.
On 7 January, brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi attacked the Paris offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12. All three gunmen were shot dead by police.
Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said that international co-operation with authorities in Turkey, Spain and Belgium would continue, as investigators sought information on possible accomplices, the suspects' travel records, and information about how they got their weapons.

Name-your-price comedy bundle includes Louis C.K., Tig Notaro, Maria Bamford
Two of the most-talked-about recent comedy recordings are featured in the new Humble Bundle, an online name-your-own-price offer that continues through Sept. 11.
The new Humble Comedy Bundle includes Tig Notaro's "Live," which she recorded shortly after she learned she had breast cancer, and Maria Bamford's "The Special Special Special," which she taped in a living room with the audience consisting entirely of her parents, who are often the subjects of her humor.
The basic bundle also includes Hannibal Buress' "My Name Is Hannibal" and Jim Norton's "Please Be Offended."
Buyers who pay more than the average price for the package, which was $8.70 when I wrote this, also receive Louis C.K.'s "Live at the Beacon Theater" and two recordings by the late Patrice O'Neal, "Unreleased" and "Mr. P." Some of the downloads are available as audio (mp3 and FLAC files), some as videos. Buyers can also stream rather than download the videos.
Buyers can also choose to have part of their payment go to the Electric Frontier Foundation and Child's Play Charity.

A 3AW source said possible replacements for Zemanek were former Age and Who Weekly editor Bruce Guthrie, Red Symons, Derryn Hinch, Ross Warneke, Steve Murphy, Andrew Bolt and Jeff Kennett.
In the last ACNielsen radio survey of the year released yesterday, 3AW fell 0.4 to 11.6 - its worst result since 1992, when it rated 11.4.
The station has lost 34 per cent of its listeners aged over 55 in the past year. Ratings have fallen recently for Ernie Sigley's afternoon program, Zemanek's drive program and evenings. It is also rumoured that Sigley's position is under threat but Mr Bell denies this.
In other ratings news, 774 ABC's ratings fell 0.6 to 12.1, reversing recent gains, but for the first time in 27 years it has tied for first place, with Fox FM, due to Fox falling 1.5 to 12.1.
The battle of the morning hosts has narrowed after 774 ABC's Jon Faine fell two points to 12.6 and 3AW's Neil Mitchell rose 0.9 to 12.2.
3AW's leading breakfast team, Ross Stevenson and John Burns, fought off competition from 774's Red Symons: 3AW rose 0.9 to 16.8, while 774 ABC fell 0.3 to 15.2.
The ratings period from September 15 to November 23 was packed with news, including the AFL, the Bali bombings, and the state election. The decline at 774 ABC was attributed to "news fatigue".
Nova 100 celebrated its first birthday yesterday and ended the year where it finished, with a 10.5 share, but Fox FM remains the top music station.
Also, Triple J morning host Francis Leach is leaving to host an evening show on Radio National next year.

Lovely apartment, spotlessly clean and well supplied with many extras. Lovely patio area for sitting outside.Garden and pool were immaculate.
Emma and David were the perfect hosts -generous, friendly and helpful but never intrusive. The meals we had with them were amazing - Emma is an excellent cook.
They were very helpful with suggestions of places to visit - we particularly enjoyed the Ile de Re.
We cannot recommend highly enough.
Thank you Emma and David - we will be back!
Emma and David met us on arrival and made our stay really welcoming We enjoyed a fantastic evening meal from their own kitchen ( well worth booking ) The Petite Tannerie was both comfortable and well equipped. The small town of Vix is ideal for visiting both La Rochelle, the coastal towns and the vendee inland waterways
We have stayed in many apartments and gites in France and
this was the very best. Emma and David are very welcoming hosts. Dinner on the night of our arrival was fantastic plus Emma is a great cook ( no searching for a restaurant )
The accommodation and swimming pool are first class and
watching English T.V (Queens Tennis and Royal Ascot) on the rainy days was an extra bonus
We certainly recommend La Tannerie and will certainly stay
there again on our next visit to the Vendee.
WE have not been to this particular area before, but been quite close. Emma and David were very welcoming and friendly. They showed us round the gite and swimming pool area. They informed us of what was available in the village. The gite is a two bedroomed flat that is very clean and well maintained.
They are a very friendly couple who frequently put a meal on in their own house and invited us around. They have family who live close by and we were invited to have a meal with them as well.
They recommended a restaurant in Fontany Le Comte, which was excellent, my husband had a steak and it was one of the best he has tasted.
The area is very pretty and unfortunately we could not get around as much as we would have liked, because my husband had sprained his ankle before we went. Emma and her mum both helped out with ankle supports etc. They could not have been more helpful. Especially to two relative strangers.
I would recommend this gite to family and friends, it was a very relaxing holiday. We hope to go back some day.
What a pleasure it was to walk into La Petite Tannerie as a time served carpenter I really appreciated the original exposed Oak Beam, window lintels and exposed stone walls. The apartment was well presented and furnished with everything we required. Emma and David were on site to answer any questions and give advice regarding trips out to the area. We took advantage of the bicycles to cycle round the canals and nature reserve at the end of the village, the topiary garden in Vix is a must for all gardeners. Use of the swimming pool just made our holiday perfect.
What a delightful stay we had at La Petite Tannerie located in the small but typical French village of Vix. La Petite Tannerie and its surroundings was a true reflection of the description and website photos. It was fitted with everything that one would require for a holiday including WIFI and English tv making it a comfortable and pleasant stay. The access to the private pool and walled garden was superb and it was also a huge plus to have secure parking in their own car park. La Petite Tannerie is well located for day visits to La Rochelle, Ile de Re, Coulon, Mervent Forest and La Tranche Sur Mer to name but a few and the wine tasting at the local vineyard is a must. Thanks Emma and David for a memorable holiday.

Mr Men the Rugby Match Paperback
Part of the Mr. Men & Little Miss Celebrations series
Mr Strong's rugby team are about to play the biggest match of their lives and Mr Strong has some good players up his sleeve: Mr Greedy, the one-man scrum, Mr Tickle with his outstanding tackles and the fastest player of them all, Mr Rush.
But with Mr Forgetful forgetting which sport they are playing, Mr Jelly running away in fear when he sees the other team and Mr Bounce getting bounced out of the ground, it's not looking very hopeful.
Mr Men and Little Miss Celebrations introduce children to all the exciting occasions that people celebrate including birthdays, Christmas, Halloween, Easter, sporting events...and even a trip to the moon.
These colourful adventures will delight children of two years and upwards.
Bold illustrations and funny stories make Mr Men and Little Miss the perfect story time experience.
Have you collected all the Mr Men and Little Miss Celebrations?Mr Birthday Little Miss Birthday; Mr Christmas Little Miss Christmas; Mr Men A Christmas Carol; Mr Men The Night Before Christmas; Mr Men 12 Days of Christmas; Mr Men A Christmas Pantomine; Mr Men A White Christmas; Mr Men Meet Father Christmas; Mr Men The Christmas Tree; Mr Men The Christmas Party; Little Miss Princess and the Very Special Party; Mr Men Sports Day; Mr Tickle and the Scary Halloween; Mr Men The Big Match; Mr Men and the Tooth Fairy; Mr Men Trip to the Moon; Mr Impossible and the Easter Egg Hunt; Mr Mischief and the Leprechaun; and, Mr Men: The Rugby Match.
It all started with a tickle. Roger Hargreaves' son Adam asked him what a tickle looked like.
In response, Roger drew a small orange man with extraordinarily long arms that could reach anywhere and tickle anyone.
Mr Tickle, the first of the Mr Men, was born. Mr Tickle was soon joined by Mr Greedy, Mr Happy, Mr Nosey, Mr Sneeze and Mr Bump.
The books were an instant hit and Roger went on to create many more Mr Men and Little Miss characters.
What Roger really wanted was to make children laugh, which is probably why his own favourite character is Mr Silly.

Very pleased
By GO
from London Ont
When I opened the box I was shocked how very nice these earrings were. They are well made, like the necklace that matches, and they sparkle. Such a nice set. Bought them for a gift and she loves the two pieces. Thinking of getting a pair for myself.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The whole trio is spectacular!
By M.L.
from Montreal
The pendant, the ring and these earrings are all unbelievably beautiful. They are elegant and sophisticated. I love all three pieces and I am so glad I bought them.
By jazzy
from scarborough
I feel I wasted my money. There is no shine or glitter in any light whatsoever, I doubt if it is really the diamonelle that was advertised. I am extremely sad and disappointed with the product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The architecture of Sicily reflects the island's centuries of successive dominion by the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Spaniards, and, most recently, Italians. The breezes are sultry, and everyday life is without pretence, as witnessed in the workaday stalls of the fish markets in ports all along the Tyrrhenian and Ionian coasts, bursting with tuna, swordfish, and sardines. Greek ruins stand sentinel in Agrigento's Valley of the Temples, blanketed in almond, oleander, and juniper blossoms. All over the island the ins and outs of life are celebrated each day as they have been for centuries—over a morning coffee, at the family lunch table, and in the evening passeggiata (stroll).

Chapter 6.5Mature
She stared at her in silence, surprised.
"I've not been able to wear them since my pregnancy with Kalila, and that was fourteen years ago. You're thinner than I am. I'd like you to have these."
"But..." Beth repeated.
"You just need to pick one to wear."
"I don't know," she said eventually. "Which would fit in more, in the Dimension?"
She turned to Isabella, realising for the first time that Ibby was wearing a dress, if it could be called that. The bodice was simply a corset and almost entirely lace and red satin, while the skirt was jet black satin and had no front, only falling at the back.
"They would all be fine," Isabella said in response to her question. "It's up to you."
Beth looked at the dresses for a while, before deciding on the midnight blue one. She undressed to her underwear and Aaralyn showed her how to put it on and fasten it.
"Where will you be staying while you're there?" Aari asked Isabella.
"In Altsina," Ibby replied.
"You might just have a maid to do this for you then, Beth. When Lucius took Jay and me to stay for a little while, I had a maid. You'll just have to wait and see."
Beth looked at herself in the mirror as Aaralyn fastened the buttons at the back of the dress. She pulled her blonde hair over one shoulder. It curled against her skin, tickling her bare shoulders.
"You are beautiful, you know that?" Aari said, squeezing her arms and meeting her eyes in the mirror.
Isabella had just finished putting the other three dresses into a relatively small suitcase, along with some underwear.
"We need to go," she said.
Beth nodded, turning to her.
