It seems the entire WSOP was feeling a bit hungover from July 4 on Day 1a of the 2014 Main Event.
A relatively scant 771 players braved the firework-littered streets of Las Vegas to enter the Main Event, which was down 172 players from Day 1a of last year. It's somewhat troubling considering that first-ever $10 million guarantee on first place this year.
It didn't matter to Swede Martin Jacobson who happily amassed a fortress of chips totalling 200,100.
The WSOP staff was quick to point out there's no reason to be concerned and they are currently tracking ahead of last year in terms of pre-registration.
Seth Palansky, Vice President of the WSOP, promised this year will see the biggest Day 1c in the 45-year history of the tournament.
Caesars is recommending that players players register early or play Day 1b if they want to avoid the rush on Day 1c.
Riess Battles Merson on Feature Table
As far as the actual poker went there were plenty of notable players in the field with Johnny Chan, Mike Matusow, Jean-Robert Bellande, Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Laak, Jay Farber, Ole Schemion and Yevgeniy Timoshenko.
Perhaps the most interesting table was the one on the main stage that featured Greg Merson and Ryan Riess, the last two champions from 2012 and 2013 respectively.
Riess got the better of the table and finished with 70,000 while Merson coasted into Day 2 with 7,000.
Online crusher Hac "Trex313" Dang, who's rarely seen on the live tournament circuit these days, showed up to play the feature table in the latter part of the day.
Jean-Robert Bellande's tumultuous summer, which included a seat in the $1 million Big One for One Drop, finally came to an end on Day 1a of the Main Event.
It appears Bellande will hold on to the BrokeLivingJRB moniker a bit longer as he didn't record a single cash in this year's WSOP.
Layne Flack, Chris Moneymaker, Ryan Riess, Antonio Esfandiari, Mike Matusow and Hac Dang all finished in the top 50 stacks to end the night. A total of 505 players survived and will play Day 2a on Tuesday.
PL "On Demand" Coverage Encourages Reader Participation
For the first time ever PokerListings is running "On Demand" live coverage of the Main Event, which means you have a chance to decide some of our reporting agenda. Be sure to throw suggestions - no matter how wacky they are - onto our On Demand news story or through Twitter or Facebook.
Day 1b of the 2014 Main Event begins at 12 p.m. tomorrow.
Here are the top 10 chip counts courtesy of WSOP.com to end Day 1a:
- Martin Jacobson - 200,100
- Aaron Wilt - 157,650
- Seamus Cahill - 150,000
- Ken Eniger - 129,000
- Kenny Tran - 119,000
- Andy Hwang - 118,875
- Mukul Pahuja - 114,800
- Alex Simic - 110,675
- Johnny Chan - 106,000
- Frank Passantino - 105,000

ATLANTA -- Chuck James says he isn't a student of baseball history, so he hadn't heard of Rick Behenna before Wednesday night.
And the more James heard about Behenna, the less he wanted to know.
James won his third straight start, the first Braves' rookie to do that since Behenna 26 years ago, and Atlanta matched its season high for runs in beating St. Louis 14-4 on Wednesday night.
James, a left-hander who joined the rotation on June 25, wasn't too excited to hear that 1983 was Behenna's only season in Atlanta, and that he finished with a 3-10 career record, including two winless years with Cleveland.
"That ain't good," James said.
James (3-0) gave up four runs and eight hits, including home runs to Scott Rolen and Hector Luna, in six innings.
"I think my goal in the next outing is to try to keep the ball in the park and we'll be all right," said James, who has allowed five homers in the three starts.
The Braves won consecutive series for the first time since May while extending the Cardinals' road woes.
The Braves scored 10 runs off Jeff Suppan, knocking him out of the game in the fourth inning, to win for the second time in the three-game series.
The Braves are 4-2 in a 10-game homestand as they try to recover from a 6-21 June, the worst month in franchise history.
"We need to sweep some series, but if we can win every series the rest of the way we'll be all right," Braves outfielder Jeff Francoeur said.
Third baseman Chipper Jones returned to the Atlanta lineup after missing three starts with a sore foot. He drove in three runs with two hits, including a two-run double in the fifth inning.
"It felt pretty good," Jones said. "I was fine. I was happy to still be on some pitches. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be."
Atlanta shortstop Edgar Renteria was 3-for-6 with two RBI.
The Cardinals, who broke a seven-game road losing streak with Tuesday night's 6-3 win, fell to 19-21 away from St. Louis. The Cardinals haven't had a losing road record since 2003, the last year the team didn't make the playoffs.
Overall, the Cardinals have lost 11 of 14 but have maintained their NL Central lead over slumping Cincinnati.
Suppan (6-5) gave up a career-high 10 runs, nine earned, nine hits and two walks in 3 1/3 innings. Suppan's ERA rose from 5.17 to 5.93.
"He had a rough night," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said.
La Russa refused to speculate on the role awaiting pitcher Jeff Weaver, who was acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night. La Russa said he had heard Weaver is to join the team Friday in Houston.
Suppan has enjoyed the most run support of any NL pitcher, as the Cardinals have averaged 7.41 runs per nine innings in his starts.
This time the Cardinals' bats couldn't keep pace as Suppan gave up five runs in the first inning and six in the fourth, when the Braves sent 12 batters to the plate.
"I'm falling behind in the count, I'm missing locations early and having to come with a little better of a pitch later in the count which they took good swings and put the ball in play for hits," Suppan said. "That's the only thing I can think of now."
Suppan set up the Braves' big first inning by walking two of the first three batters. Renteria's RBI triple to right drove in Marcus Giles. Andruw Jones, Francoeur and Adam LaRoche added RBI singles as the Braves took a 5-0 lead. Francoeur's single skipped past Juan Encarnacion in right field for an error, allowing Andruw Jones to score.
Seven of the first 10 Cardinals were retired on fly balls to the outfield. Finally, with one out in the fourth, Rolen hit a fly ball that cleared the wall in left for his 13th homer, cutting the lead to 5-1.
A run-scoring double by Giles helped spark the six-run fourth. Renteria and Chipper Jones added run-scoring singles, pushing the lead to 8-1 and knocking Suppan out of the game.
Brian McCann hit a two-run double against reliever Tyler Johnson, who walked Ryan Langerhans with the bases loaded to force in another run for an 11-1 lead.
Luna hit a two-run homer, his fourth, in the fifth. After Chipper Jones' two-run double made it 13-3, Rolen led off the sixth with a double and scored on Jim Edmonds' sacrifice fly.
Atlanta rookie Scott Thorman hit his first major league homer, as a pinch hitter off Josh Hancock in the sixth.
- Encarnacion's error was his fourth in 79 games, matching his 2005 total in 141 games with Florida.
- Rain threatened the start of the game, but the first pitch was only five minutes late after the grounds crew removed the tarp.
- The Braves beat San Francisco 14-6 on April 7.

"My nephew loved the gifts. Thank you so much for getting this to him on his Birthday, even though it was short notice. I am very impressed with your service."
Zoe R. - Bexleyheath Kent, United Kingdom - Sep 3, 2015
"I ordered a gift basket at Xmas. It was lovely and just as it looked online. I am in Australia and had delivered to USA. Very good service and phone validation. Will be using you again."
Sue Tame - Australia - Jan 9, 2013
"I requested a basket that contained a wine bottle to be delivered in Norway. It is the first shop that could do it, and my boyfriend received a very good Spanish wine from La Rioja. The shop did all its best to contact a local shop in Norway in order to fulfill my wishes, since Norway has alcoholic restrictions. Since the very beginning of my order the shop kept me informed by phone about the order, and I live in Spain! My boyfriend received the package with chocolates and a rose, on time and he was really suprised and very touched. Thank you Gift Baskets Overseas to help me to make happy a person. "
Liliana - Barcelona, Spain - Mar 22, 2010
"Used their service for the first time and was immediately impressed by their professionalism (received a phone call soon after order was placed to confirm details) and the subsequent delivery of my gift (To Split, Croatia) was as requested. The gift itself was exactly as described and pictured in the catalogue and of the highest standard. Would highly recommend to anyone requiring overseas gift delivery."

The Los Angeles County Fair (LACF) is The World's Largest Classroom — where there is a new discovery around every corner.
For over 15 years, the FairKids Field Trip Program has allowed students and teachers to enjoy an interactive educational experience, or what we call A Day Full of Learning Cleverly Disguised as Fun!
Why take a FairKids Field Trip?
FairKids Field Trips are Wednesdays through Fridays (throughout the LA County Fair).
LACF opens three hours early (9 a.m.) for school children to participate in controlled fun and educational activities related to agriculture, art, science, literature, California heritage, and life on a real farm.
Because of funding cut-backs in the school districts, the FairKids Field Trips are the only field trips some schools get to experience, so LACF attempts to make the experience as impactful as possible to fill a need in our communities.
If you would like to donate to bring students in your community to the Fair for an educational field trip, donate now and designate your gift and provide a direct benefit to local students.
Register for Field-trip
Have your date picked out and sign up by the end of May. Start planning your trip and complete the planning by June. The lowest attendance of the Fair is the first week.

Learning has never been more fun. Join us at the LA County Fair and experience the educational exhibits that entertain, captivate and enrich the mind.

"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun," the book says.
So it is with free toppings on Papa John's pizzas after Redskins victories. Kirk Cousins, new to these parts, declared on Sunday that he would attempt to take advantage of the six-touchdown-12-free-topping extravaganza resulting from Sunday's wild win.
If I did the math right, I can get a Large pizza from @PapaJohns w/ 12 free toppings b/c we won & scored 6 TD's. Gonna try to use all 12
— Kirk Cousins (@KirkCousins8) October 20, 2013
This seemed like a great opportunity for a blog post, so I asked readers to send me photos of their own 12-topping monstrosities. Then I googled the matter, and discovered that someone actually did a blog post with photos of a 12-topping monstrosity all of three years ago.
"Someone" being me. Time to brush up the resume again.
(Of course, that was after a preseason game. This was a regular-season game. So maybe this is still an original blog post.)
Regardless, 12 toppings are 12 toppings, and one of my readers apparently received his 12-topping pie before noon this Monday.
This is a pizza with double pepperoni, double sausage, double spicy Italian sausage, double extra-cheese, double bacon and double ham. Frankly, it doesn't look particularly weird, but I'm assured that it is.
"You basically can only eat two slices before you're full," my reader reports.
UPDATE: Two more toppinged-out pizzas. The first, via David: Large Original Crust Cheese Pizza, with Three Cheese Blend, Green Peppers, Black Olives, Banana Peppers, Grilled Chicken, Onions, Mushrooms, Roma Tomatoes, Canadian Bacon x 2 , Pepperoni x 2.
The second, via @Slicktrip. Toppings undefined.

'Lucky' to survive, WWII veteran says
Maynard Amond, 96, is sure to pay particular attention to today's 70th anniversary of D-Day. For him and many other American soldiers, it was the start of a long, harrowing fight for Europe.
Amond, who resides at St. Andrew's Village in White Township, landed on Utah beach the morning of June 6, 1944, as part of the 535th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion. Manning 90 mm guns, his unit was responsible for shooting down enemy aircraft. Specifically, he was in charge of the group's communications equipment.
Later, his unit followed Gen. George Patton into Paris, and Amond was there during the Battle of the Bulge in December of that year, where he repaired communications lines in enemy territory.
His Army service ended in December 1945. In that time, there were plenty of close calls.
"I was darn lucky," Amond said in a 2012 Gazette story.
In 1946, he was one of the founding members of the Blairsville VFW and served as its first quartermaster, according to his niece, Judy Emerick, of Central City, Cambria County.
"He's a living hero," Emerick said.
Nicknamed "Red" due to his hair color, he was born in Penn Run in 1917. He and his wife, Alda Lee Amond, 94, operated a jewelry store in Blairsville from 1953 to 1983.
These days, he and Alda live at St. Andrew's. They were married just four months before he was drafted into the Army, and they've been together for more than 72 years.
"They have been in love for a long time. They are always together," Emerick said.

Summer of '07
(Alright, so I have Bryan Adams and his 'Summer of 69' in my head as I type the title of the post. Let it stay that way.)
Since the time I went off to the US, I planned all my trips to India during Decembers or Julys, just to skip being here in the summers, not a huge fan of the heat or the humidity. Also, since we had to make a few trips to other places within India during our short India trips, I was keen to avoid the Indian summers. In fact, when we decided to R2I for good, the Indian summer was a concern for me! I hate humidity that much. Anyway, now that we have been through a summer here in Bangalore, I am glad to say that it wasn't too bad. Bangalore was hot and we did complain about the temperatures during the peak; in fact for about a month or so, it was pretty hot. But we were lucky to get some rains and the temps cooled off tremendously, especially since the rest of the country was struggling through heat waves. We were blessed to have some tolerable temps, sometimes making it quite pleasant too. We realised this more so when we traveled to other much hotter places.
Flora: Only when I was actually here, did I realise the familiar summer floral sights that I was missing being away. Not that I missed them particularly when I was actually away, because California has beautiful flora too. Spring would be awash with various hues and some lovely colors. This summer, here in Bangalore, the Gulmohar, Queen's Flower, Copper Pod, etc were everywhere. The splash of colors was beautiful and the Gulmohar seemed redder than in the past; almost like organic coral sprinkled against the clear blue summer skies.
The resplendent Gulmohar lining the streets, making for some very pretty sights
Fruits: The summer fruits in India are a delight – mango, jackfruit, guava, musk melon, papaya, pineapple, chickoo, palmyra (kAti nongu) etc. Though mango is the king of fruits, and summer is the peak season for all its varieties, I have this weakness for jackfruits. And I hadn't eaten any in all the years that I was out of India. So, I made up for the loss this summer! The nice thing was both my kids took to jackfruits as well. So, I had some nice, crazy company to enjoy this (strange) fruit. Jackfruits always remind me of all my summer vacation spent in my ancestral native, Kerala! Just the thought of Kerala conjures up a splash of beautiful images that mean nothing but home – my beautiful exotic home! Though I am a Bangalorean at heart, Kerala will always be home for my soul. The absolute rustic scenes, the down-to-earth temples surrounded by mystique, and of course the food! Thankfully, the jackfruits were aplenty this season in Bangalore and I had a ball, to say the least!
Yummy Yum Yum!!
We enjoyed some kAti nongu too. Some of the vendors take the fruits out right in front of you like the vendor in this picture.
Summer Camp: Our (then) almost 4 year old daughter went to a summer camp for 3 weeks and within walking distance! I wanted something close by and there was one at the nearest Ramana Maharshi Center. What is unbelievable is the kind of positive influence just the 3 weeks there had on her. She used to take at least about 3 hours to relax and start interacting with non-family members. After the 3 weeks at their summer camp, she was quite comfortable talking to everybody and in a 'nice' way. I am thrilled with this development. At the end of the summer camp, all the children put up a nice show for the parents and family members at their auditorium. Splendid! Our daughter learnt a few of their shlokas, some small dance sequences, and some good social skills. I am thrilled! The summer camp was for 3 hours, 6 days a week for 3 weeks. I paid a whopping amount of Rs. 100/-!!! Unbelievable! (A lot of the commercial places and private schools hold summer camps for 2 weeks or so and charge more than Rs. 2000/-) Overall, she had a lot of fun and loved her summer camp!
Not being sure of how the summer would go, at the end of it, I am happy to say that it went off very well. Isn't that nice …. when you are not sure of how something is going to turn out and later realise that things actually went off well? Applies to all things in life, doesn't it?

Golf Rankings for The Honda Classic
Rickie Fowler [Yahoo Class A] - World Ranking: #9
Fowler has missed three consecutive cuts, but is coming off a third-place performance last week in match play. After missing the cut at the Honda in both 2010 and 2011, he notched a T7 in 2012. Fowler returned to the site last year and was working on a top-five, but dropped to finish T13 after a poor final round.
Luke Donald [Yahoo Class A] - World Ranking: #82
Despite being successful in the Honda, Donald hasn't played the event on its current course since a runner-up performance in 2008 and a T10 in 2011. This start will be just his third stroke play event of the season and first in the states following a first round loss in match play.
Charles Howell III [Yahoo Class B] - World Ranking: #70
Howell is coming off his first missed cut in the 10 starts he has made on the Tour's new wraparound schedule. Over the last four years he has finished inside the top 30 in each Honda appearance, including a T10 in 2011. CH3 was fifth after three rounds of play last year, but dropped to T29 after an 8-over 78 on Sunday. He had a similar issue closing the weekend in 2012.
Hideki Matsuyama [Yahoo Class B] - World Ranking: #2
Matsuyama is the lone notable first timer at the Honda. This will be his fourth stroke play event of the year. So far Matsuyama has yet to finish outside of the top 25, highlighted by a T4 at TPC Scottsdale.
Billy Horschel [Yahoo Class C] - World Ranking: #47
Horschel put together three top-10s in January until missing the cut at TPC Scottsdale. He got off a nice start in last year's Honda--11th after two rounds--but posted a 10-over 80 in the third round to plummet down the leaderboard.
Michael Thompson [Yahoo Class C]
Thompson won the Honda last year and has been pretty decent lately with T19 finishes at TPC Scottsdale and Pebble Beach.
Louis Oosthuizen [Yahoo Class A] - World Ranking: #23
Oosthuizen began the new year by beating a 36-man field in the Volvo Golf Champions on the European Tour. He would miss the cut at Riviera, but reached the quarterfinals in match play. Oosthuizen is currently dealing with back pain, which doesn't bode well given his history at the Honda. He missed last year's cut after withdrawing from the final round of play in 2011 and 2012 with different ailments. UPDATE: Oosthuizen pulled out Wednesday afternoon sighting the aforementioned back pain.
Fredrik Jacobson [Yahoo Class C]
An injury caused Jacobson to withdraw from Torrey Pines and he's missed the cut in the two tournaments he's played since. If healthy, Jacobson has something for this course. He's played the Honda each of the last six years and has yet to place outside of the top 30.
Chris Stroud [Yahoo Class C]
Stroud owns a pair of top-20s and a missed cut so far in 2014. In the fall series, he notched a pair of top-fives and two missed cuts. At the Honda, he has made five consecutive cuts, placing T13 and T9 the last two years.
Patrick Reed [Yahoo Class A] - World Ranking: #17
Reed only managed a T58 in last year's Honda debut. He won earlier this season at the Humana Challenge. In the two stroke play starts since, Reed placed T19 at TPC Scottsdale and T13 at Pebble Beach.
Stephen Gallacher [Yahoo Class A]
Gallacher is a 39-year-old Scottish player that's placed inside the top 30 in all four of his European Tour events this year, highlighted by a victory in Dubai.
Thorbjorn Olesen [Yahoo Class C] - World Ranking: #91
Olesen scored a pair of top-fives on the European Tour prior to coming over to the States. He missed the cut at Riviera and was a first round loser in match play.

In just weeks, you could be working with clients and earning revenue in your Virtual Assistant business. Attracting a steady flow of clients consists of understanding who you are as a business owner, identifying with the common problems that your clients face and being relate-able enough for them to understand that you offer a solution.

What Will You Learn
Module1: Mindset and Motivation

Module 4: Your Ideal Client
All too often, I hear business owners saying that their service is a good fit for everyone. Contrary to popular belief, not every client will be a good fit for your Virtual Assistant business. At the end of this lesson, you will be able to clearly define who will best benefit from your services.

In this lesson, you will learn how to construct your elevator pitch, proposals, your online marketing message and your website copy in a way that will grab the attention of prospective clients.

Module 7: Packaging Your Services to Sell
In this module, you will learn how to package your services in a way that makes it easy to understand and hard for prospects to resist.
Module 8: Making a Statement
In this lesson, Trena shares where and how you should be marketing your Virtual Assistant business. You will also learn how to create a referral system that will generate a steady flow of income for your business.
Module 9: Follow up, Closing the Sale and Retention
Attracting prospects and closing sales are totally different languages. Learn how to successfully follow up with prospects in a way that is authentic and not salesy. In this module, we will also cover steps that you can take to retain paying clients once you have earned their business.
Module 10: Pulling it all together
In the last module, we will work on putting everything together. Having all the tools is pointless if you don't know how to put it together in a way that makes sense for you and the prospective client.

Maryland's Fast Start Key To Victory Over Slumping Noles
BY: John Mamola
Maryland guard Seth Allen scored 21 of his career-high 32 points in the first half in which the Terps outscored the Seminoles 46-29 as Maryland beat Florida State 83-71 Saturday to go over .500 in the ACC.
Allen playing in only his 12th game of the season after being on the bench with a left foot injury, the sophomore fromWoodbride, VA went 11-15 from the floor and 7-10 from three point land in leaping past his previous career best of 21 points.
Terps guard Dez Wells scored 15 and forward Jake Layman added 12 for the Terps which made good their home court after a 24-point defeat at FloridaState last month. The victory enabled the Terrapins to gain sole possession of seventh place in the ACC, one game ahead of the slumping Seminoles.
Aaron Thomas led FSU in scoring with 17 points and 8 rebounds, but the Noles simply couldn't slow down Maryland's shooting as the Terps shot 52% from the field for the contest.

In the third part of our Shoot Like A Pro series on how to photograph any subject you want we take a closer look at the best camera settings for landscape photography. While you'll often have time to experiment with camera settings when shooting landscapes, it's still good to have a starting point. In this week's guide we'll show you how to set up your camera to achieve maximum depth of field, shoot a sunrise or sunset and add motion blur to subjects like moving water.
[caption id="attachment_547636" align="aligncenter" width="610"]
All images by Chris Rutter[/caption]
Best camera settings for landscapes with maximum depth of field
Keeping everything sharp, from the closest foliage or rocks right into the far distance, is a classic landscape photography technique.
There are loads of technical charts and data that can be used to work out what's known as the hyperfocal distance, but shooting with a wide-angle lens, such as an 18mm on an SLR with an APS-C sized sensor, you don't need to get bogged down in them.
Choosing a small aperture, such as f/16, and manually focusing around three metres of the way into the scene will allow you to keep everything from around a metre away from the camera to the far distance in focus.
Although it's not critical for this technique, you should also make sure that the shutter speed set by the camera is fast enough for you to hand hold the camera steady enough to avoid camera shake.
If the shutter speed drops below 1/30sec you'll need to put the camera on a tripod, or increase the ISO setting to 200 or 400.
How to set up your camera to achieve maximum depth of field
Exposure mode: Aperture Priority (A or Av)
You need to set the Exposure mode to A or Av, and then select a small aperture such as f/16. Going for this small aperture will ensure that there is plenty of depth of field when using a wide-angle lens.
Focus mode: Manual
Switch to manual focus, and then carefully focus on a subject which is around three metres from the camera. This will mean that everything from around one metre to infinity will be sharp in your shot.
Shutter speed: Set by camera
Aperture: f/16
Lens: 18 to 24mm
Drive mode: Single shot
White balance: Daylight

Most animals, including humans, are "hard wired" with an innate "decider" in the mind that instantly makes a fight-or-flight decision under duress. We usually automatically fight against a weaker opponent, and fly from a stronger one. An armed opponent is usually considered stronger by this "decider," so an unarmed person usually will attempt to flee. That's why many attackers use loud voices and forceful words at the onset: it serves to confuse, and thus "freeze," the victim, and interrupts the flight impulse.
It is frequently useless to discuss self defense with someone who is unwilling to look at the subject with a mind open to real-world situations. If you want to pursue further discussion with your female co-workers, ask them to imagine being attacked by anyone bearing a gun, or by someone stronger than themselves bearing a knife. In those cases, would they still want only a knife as self protection?
This is a fruitful course of contemplation for yourself, too. How would you handle those threats?

It's been reported that Fox no longer want Britney Spears on The X Factor and insiders say she could not care less.
The 'Toxic' hitmaker was paid millions of dollars to join the judging panel of the talent show in 2012, in the hope that having some big name stars on the series would help pull The X Factor out of it's ratings slump.
However, while the lineup and the stars certainly got more tabloid and media coverage, the attention did not boost viewing figures enough and it's been claimed that bosses are considering dropping Britney and saving some cash when they firm up the lineup for 2013.
Given her fragile mental health history, we would have half expected Spears to be in some sort of meltdown about the news, however sources say she is busy working on her next career move and insiders say she wants to take up a role on a sitcom.
A source told Radar Online:
"Britney's manager, Larry Rudolph, is reading television scripts that the singer could accept. Britney's dad, Jamie feels that having his daughter on a sitcom would be a good fit for her.
"Britney needs to be kept busy, and a structured environment such as a television sitcom would be a natural fit for her."
Of course the mum of two has some TV experience and in 2008 she guest-starred on the How I Met Your Mother episode "Ten Sessions" as receptionist Abby. She received positive reviews for her performance, as well as bringing the series its highest ratings ever.
In September 2010, she made a cameo appearance on a Spears-themed tribute episode of American TV show Glee, titled "Britney/Brittany". The episode also drew Glee's highest ratings ever.
The source believes Brit could really shine in another longer running role and continued:
"She actually has very natural comedic talents and is very funny, in an airhead sort of way."
Britney may need to throw herself into her career, as it's been reported that she's having a rough time with her fiancé Jason Trawick. The pair have been engaged for a year and are supposedly planning their dream wedding, however she was spotted out without her three carat diamond engagement ring this week and insiders have suggested that things are rocky between the pair.
Apparently 41-year-old Jason has been fighting with the blonde beauty because he wants his own children, while she's happy to stick with the two she has.
The source said: 'Britney said Jason wants to be a father, and while he's happily taken on the role of stepdad to both Jayden and Preston, he still wants Britney to have his kids.'

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
What is a legal separation?First and foremost a separation, by agreement or Court Order, isNOTa divorce and does not automatically become a divorce. In New York if you live apart pursuant to the terms of a Separation Agreement or decree for one year or longer it will become an additional grounds for divorce. You can't marry someone else if you are legally separated (and not divorced).
A legal separation must be distinguished from a "trial separation" or just plain living apart. A legal separation provides structure during the period of separation.
Why separate and not divorce?A legal separation is for couples a) that may be undecided about whether they will or will not divorce but want to have certainty regarding money, property, and parenting issues while they decide, b) for coupleswho choose to remain legally married so that a spouse requiring medical insurance can continue to use the existing coverage,c) for those who do not want to get divorced now but want to live apart and d) for couples who choose separation for religious reasons.
Separation Agreements
Separation Agreements both define everyone's rights and obligations while they live separate and apart but generally also provide that when there is a divorce decree or other court order, the Agreement will be "incorporated but not merged" into that Court Order. This means that the Separation Agreement will both continue to stand as an agreement on its own and can be enforced as a contract, but it will also become a part of a court Judgment of Separation or Divorce which can be enforced in the same manner as any other Order of the Court (through contempt of court proceedings). Separation Agreements are binding, for both parties, except that provisions involving the children, such as custody and child support, can always be changed by a court upon the demonstration of factors sufficient to allow the Court to review the issue.

The Bucs would like to make this a December to remember.
At 1-11, first-year coach Raheem Morris needs to compile some wins the final month to squash speculation that he might be one-and-done as the Bucs head coach.
"That was kind of my cry yesterday to these guys, December football. Good teams play great football in December," Morris said. "Yesterday, we went out there and played OK football in December. You have to find a way to play great football in December, not only this year but for the future. At one point you are going to be 7-2.

Some sweeping changes are inevitable after the season. The Bucs already fired or demoted offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski and defensive coordinator Jim Bates. Morris has taken over the defensive play-calling and the Bucs have gotten better.
It's not a job Morris wants next season, but he is trying to establish some momentum heading into 2010.
"You have to put your stamp on what you are going to be going into the playoffs, making that run and doing what you have to do," Morris said. "No time better to start than now to work on December football when you are in December with a team that pretty much doesn't have a shot at the playoffs. You better establish your identity right now of what you are going to be in December."

A clear improvement, with some neat design touches and a faster turn of pace, but it's still hit and miss
We weren't impressed by the first Sony P Series, with Sony's quest to shrink a laptop to the size of a keyboard forcing excessive sacrifices. The company, oddly, ignored us: it's decided the P Series just needed a few more tweaks. The most obvious change is its styling. No longer subdued and professional, the new VAIO P Series shouts "look at me!" in its most colourful incarnation: vivid orange. A more subdued white version is also on offer.The office verdict on the orange version is largely unprintable. However, the P Series deserves praise for looking so different from a typical laptop, and numerous design touches set it apart: we like the way the keys' colour matches the casing, for instance, while the matte finish and swooshing curves add to its appeal.A more subtle change can be seen on either side of the screen. Sony's designers realised that people often used their P Series to view documents or websites, and would hold the laptop with their thumbs resting on the screen edge. To make navigation easier, it's added a touchpad (measuring 16mm x 16mm) to the right of the screen, with left- and right-click buttons to the left.It takes three good swipes to move the cursor from one edge to another, but if you're out and about - using the built-in GPS to navigate the streets with Sony's Location Search software, say - then it's great. Even more interesting is the accelerometer, which flips the P Series into portrait mode when you hold it in a vertical position. Sony believes you can read books and digital magazines this way, but without a touchscreen - and at just 768 pixels wide - this is hardly a pleasurable experience.We have mixed feelings about the screen itself. Squeezing 1600 x 768 pixels into an 8in diagonal makes system text look tiny, and it isn't helped by a slightly mottled display: Word documents, for example, look fuzzy. One big help, however, is the new Change Resolution button that sits to the right of the mouse buttons. Press this and within a second the resolution changes to 1280 x 600.

Since then, the commissions have come thick and fast. "You have to be very careful working with shells," she admits, referring to the kitsch factor that has haunted this art form since the 1970s. She avoids "pier-side naff" by steering clear of the figurative and keeping to designs that are true to the movement and colour of the shells themselves.
When Kerr-Wilson was studying for her art degree, though, she was forced to keep her hobby to herself, while she studied the more acceptable medium of sculpture. "They were horrified," she says, remembering the snobbery. "Even though I'd won a competition working with shells, it was never discussed at college. What I did there was completely different."
Kerr-Wilson's secret obsession, however, survived the scepticism and she continued creating shell mosaics. Her preferred material is mussel shells - "the best shells in the world, because they work so well in the light and offer such strength of colour" - though she also works with clams, cowries and scallops. As news of her work spread, people began sending her shells to be made into bespoke pieces, or simply because they thought their beach finds might interest her.
Where does her fascination with shell art stem from? "As a child, I always loved grottoes and follies - any secret place in the garden," she says. "And then I went to cookery college and my interest in shells, gardens and food all came together."
She says that the shells "lead the way" in her designs, dictating not only the colour, but the direction of the work. Bivalve shells, such as mussels, have a left and a right half. The resulting compositions give an illusion of movement - shells sweeping in one direction and then reversing, as if tossed in the sea - through the careful placing of each half.
One of the most startling aspects of Kerr-Wilson's work is its graphic quality. She has created, for example, a circle of purplish-blue mussel shells next to waves of miniature white abalone. From a distance, it appears as an almost solid disc; only on closer inspection does the viewer see the medium. Even then, the shells have an intricate sense of motion, so that some doubt remains as to what you are actually seeing. "It's all to do with how the light plays on the piece," she says.
Kerr-Wilson has room to experiment with colour and pattern in the home she and her photographer husband have created, with their two young children, in a disused 19th-century mill near La Rochelle, north-west France. When they bought it, it was "a mess, full of grain sacks, rats and rat droppings". Now renovated, it still has no central heating, but it's an ideal place to work on commissions, as well as being a vast canvas on which to experiment. In the bedroom, for example, Kerr-Wilson has created shell mosaics around each window. In another room, she has displayed a shell-decorated curtain behind a colourfully dressed wrought-iron bed.
When Kerr-Wilson started out, she was driven by financial necessity to use "free" objects such as shells and pebbles, but even with her current success she is not tempted by exotic materials. She never uses coral or rare shells, and though she has access to an increased quantity of shells (which she orders ready cleaned from a supplier) and a greater variety, she does not alter them. "I never varnish or paint them," she says. "I just leave them."

The Toledo Walleye saw their modest two-game winning streak snapped tonight with a 2-1 loss to Kalamazoo.
The Walleye opened a three-game weekend homestand before an announced crowd of 5,003 at the Huntington Center. Toledo took an initial 1-0 lead but the Wings scored two unanswered goals.
Brett Perlini scored for Toledo (18-35-4) and goalie Hannu Toivonen finished with 34 saves. Kalamazoo (36-18-5) remained in first place in the North Division where the Walleye are in last.
PHOTO GALLERY: Click here for more photos from the game
The Walleye took a 1-0 lead on Perlini's goal with 5:18 left in the second. Perlini scored on a rebound right out in front off the Wings' net on an initial shot by Kyle Rogers.
But Kalamazoo tied it at 1 with 32 seconds left in the second period. Justin Taylor made a slick move from in close to beat Toivonen.
Kalamazoo then took a 2-1 lead with 10:33 left. Matt Caria showed great patience to out wait Toivonen who went to the ice and Caria shoveled it in over the top of him.
Toledo's Jesse Messier was robbed twice by Kalamazoo goalie Jordan Binnington (30 saves) with 1:44 left.
The teams meet again on Saturday night at the downtown arena. Toledo then hosts Fort Wayne on Sunday.

Greetings everyone, I'm new here but have been in the shadows for quite sometime. I just purchased a stock 03 WRX Wagon 5 speed this week and I am stoked!
I noticed something relating to the hose lines going into the turbo
There is a tube going to the turbo and the plastic connection is broke leaving the lines dangling in two pieces
I've attached a photo of the hose connection I found. I photoshoped a white circle around the junction in question (just before the T connection). On my car It's broken so the hose is in two pieces just hanging there.
I guess my question is what affect is this having to my engine and turbo?
What does this hose do?
The car has high miles, 150k but is in good shape, has good compression, totally stock mechanically and minus a few maintenance issues I think it will make good fun daily driver for a long time.
It needs:
2 tires up front
CV axle (rt side)
Rt side valve cover gasket
Clutch slave cylinder (I think) The pedal squeaks pretty bad when depressed and released and this seems to be the cure, correct me if I'm wrong please.
Any help/advise greatly appreciated,

Update on my dad. They have moved him from ICU into a private rom. He is doing remarkably well. He has been able to get in and out of a wheelchair once and they have been able to remove all tubes except the one in his back for the epidural. They are expecting another 2 to 3 days in the hospital if he can continue to improve. He has a month long recovery and then 3 more months of chemo. The doctors are very optimistic that he will beat it for good this time. Thank you all so much for your support. It means so very much to me.

The Oakland Raiders have announced the signing of cornerback Tarell Brown. General manager Reggie McKenzie continues to build the defense through free agency after grabbing linebacker LaMarr Woodley and defensive end Justin Tuck yesterday.
ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting the Raiders agreed with Brown on a one year deal worth 3.5 million dollars fully guaranteed.
The 29 year old Brown comes to Oakland from their Bay Area rival, the San Francisco 49ers, where he made 42 starts in the past three seasons. The 5'10", 195 pound Brown started all 16 games in 2011 and 2012. In 2013, he played in 13 games with 10 starts. In those 10 starts, he recorded 32 tackles and 10 pass defenses. In the previous two years, he intercepted six passes and has 11 interceptions in his seven year career.
The Raiders lost cornerback Tracy Porter to the Washington Redskins earlier in the week. Brown should be able to complete for playing time and possibly take over the nickle cornerback spot vacated when Porter left via free agency. The team's other starting cornerback Mike Jenkins is also a free agent, but has not signed anywhere yet. Oakland also has 2013 first round pick DJ Hayden to work with in the secondary.
Oakland also had visits today from defensive linemen Antonio Smith and tackle Donald Penn. There has been no word on anything from those meetings, but the Raiders have been very busy in the first week of NFL free agency. Tackle Michael Oher has supposed to visit, but he struck a deal with the Tennessee Titans today. Another Oakland possible target, defensive linemen B.J. Raji re-signed with the Green Bay Packers.Tags: Antonio Smith, DJ Hayden, Donald Penn, Football, free agency, Justin Tuck, Mike Jenkins, NFL, Oakland, Oakland Raiders, Reggie McKenzie, Tarell Brown, Tracy Porter

CAPS provides preventative and developmental programming to the University of Houston community. This programming includes presentations and weekly Food for Thought workshops. CAPS also sponsors campus-wide events, and provides consultation services for our campus partners. Popular presentations and workshops include: information about CAPS services, suicide prevention (QPR) training, and information on specific mental health topics. Each CAPS therapist maintains a liaison relationship with several UH departments and student organizations. These liaison relationships help us effectively address the specific needs of each department and student organization. CAPS consultation services involve evaluating situations and supporting students and our campus partners in efficiently managing difficult situations. Consultation is available to staff and faculty by contacting CAPS and to students through the 'Let's Talk' program.
Outreach programming is a key element of CAPS services, which includes the development of effective training and workshops that promote learning. Food for Thought workshops are scheduled each semester at the UC to address various topics that will educate students and enhance skills. CAPS also offers QPR Suicide Prevention Training for the campus community. In addition, we would like to honor campus community requests for presentations on various mental health topics. In the event that we are unable to fulfill your request, we will consult with you to help you find another campus resource. In our efforts to develop workshops unique to our training and to work collaboratively with other student services offices, we will direct you to appropriate offices if a workshop is requested that is better served by another office. Workshops are held at CAPS; please consult the workshop schedule for the most current listings.
Annually, CAPS collaborates with our university partners in many campus wide events including, but not limited to the following:
Each CAPS staff member has an on-going liaison relationship with a department, office and/or student group at UH. This liaison relationship helps to bridge the gap between CAPS services and the campus community by educating the campus community on how to deal with students facing mental health issues. Specifically, the specified office can call to address concerns about student mental health issues, how to cope with a student that may be experiencing difficulties and how to refer to CAPS. In addition, the staff liaison can act as a direct referral source for that office or act as the key outreach program leader.
Consultation with the broader UH community involves evaluating situations and supporting the intervention of campus colleagues to manage these difficult situations effectively. The consultation process includes exploring the needs of the caller, gathering information, formulating a plan of implementation and planning post-consultation support.

Hands-on: Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom review - Hands-on with the S4 spinoff which features a 16-megapixel camera with 10x optical zoom.
what about the Nokia 808? Is the S4 Zoom better than the N808?
I just bought the S4 Zoom in Dubai and already have the Nokia 808. The sensor isn't better but it is still 1.8x the sensor of a standard smartphone. Although it doesn't have a bigger sensor than the 808 it has a superior lens and physical OIS on the lens housing. It takes better pics on average and although it doesn't have the stereo mics of the 808 for video it still takes excellent 1080p footage. Please ignore TR, it is not awkward or clunky, it's a really innovative cameraphone and perfect hybrid.
Firstly let me say I think Trustedreviews is normally a very good review website but I believe you your initial preview of the S4 zoom has the totally wrong perspective.
This is not one of those super-slim smartphones with a camera function. It is a truly hybrid device with a larger zoom lens that houses a floating physical OIS component and a superior sensor (1.8x size) to the leading smartphones. It is not hard to pocket and as a camera it is extremely easy to grip. When reversed to use as a smartphone, the lens housing actually makes it very hard to let the phone slip from your hand because you can sit it on your index finger and type or navigate one-handed.
I bought the device in Dubai just 3 days ago. I'm sorry trustedreviews but it is unwise to speculate that it 'may' not be good in lowlight. Despite the lower aperture of the Nokia Lumia 920 or even a fully fledged compact camera like the Sony RX100 (1.8 aperture lens), the S4 Zoom takes good low-light and night shots. In full light it shows great versatility and the macro focusing is fast and much more capable than the RX100. Despite the Nokia 808 having a larger sensor (I have one), the superior lens and OIS of the S4 Zoom more than compensates and you get much better results on average. I've compared the S4 Zoom to my RX100 indoors and it actually uses the ambient light much better than the RX100. That's amazing given the very large sensor and lens quality on the RX100.
Finally as a phone it is pretty good and it's a shame they didn't have LTE/4G but the HSDPA is still very useful. It is a superb device for taking out to events where you need a phone and to point and shoot. If you get a foreign sim on holiday you can take great shots on the go and share instantlyand upload to the Web and have phone functionality when needed. Just like the Note a few years ago, a minority will view the S4 Zoom as odd but its hybrid nature will win through and it will be a successful niche seller for Samsung and very likely move a few million units.
I am really impressed to saw the photography of the camera is just awesome.
I am really impressed to saw the photography of the camera is just awesome. I wish if i have one.
Saw one, got one. As a photographer enthusiast, sunday clicker and collector of analogue cameras I had to get one as soon as i saw it, yes it is quite bulky, and some people say i might as well talk into my shoe.. It comes in handy and the lens size just does not matter when you realize all the functions, exposures and apertures you can tweak with once you get it.
Nokia is better sorry that you wasted money :(
i've had this for over a year now. Generally happy, the smartphone is as capable as I need, bulkiness is a minor issue.
However, one MAJOR problem is the ingress of dust inside the zoom/lens mechanism. this is inaccessible to clean but my pictures now all have noticeable artefacts due to objects on the lens which I can't remove.
I would NOT buy this again with this experience.

MLA in-text citations
posted by Jenna .
A professor gave us an assignment based on one of three websites. The website I chose has multiple pages, each with a title, but none of the pages have titles. When citing a fact or quotation from a certain page, should I use the page's title in the in-text citation?
No. When citing websites, you don't refer to pages or sections, etc. Just the website, as follows --
You need to have each source of information cited in TWO places:
1. the Works Cited page that is placed after the last page of your paper, and
2. in parentheses in the text of your paper, immediately after the quotation or paraphrase.
For example, this would go on the Works Cited page (with proper indentation for the second and following lines):
Du Bois, W.E.B. The Souls of Black Folk. Chicago, 1903. Project Bartleby. Ed. Steven van Leeuwen. Dec. 1995. Columbia U. 2 Dec. 2003
... and this would go immediately after the quotation or whatever:
(Du Bois)
The information in parentheses in the text needs to be as brief as possible. That's why there's a Works Cited page – for all the details of the listing.
Here's a good place for information on citing in MLA format:
(Broken Link Removed)
Hold your cursor over the words CITING SOURCES in the left column and then click on whatever type of source you need help with. Many examples will show up. You will get two examples for each type of reference – one for the Works Cited page and one for the parenthetical (in-text) citation.
