BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Trey Freeman of Campbell University has been named Big South Conference men's basketball freshman of the year, while teammates Eric Griffin and Darren White have been selected for the all-conference first and second teams, respectively.
UNC Asheville senior guard Matt Dickey was named player of the year and Charleston Southern's Barclay Radebaugh coach of the year by the league's head coaches and media panel. Charleston Southern senior forward Kelvin Martin was tabbed defensive player of the year. Radford forward Tolga Cerrah was voted scholar-athlete of the year by Big South sports information directors.
"I'm so pleased that Trey, Eric and Darren were recognized for their body of work throughout the regular season," said Campbell head coach Robbie Laing, whose club has posted a 17-14 overall record and 11-7 mark to earn the third seed in next week's conference tournament. "I'm especially happy that we will have two of these young men back with us next year. It's also exciting that these honors continue a run of Campbell players being recognized with some of the premier players in our league. It's gratifying to see our kids rewarded for their hard work."
Freeman was the first Camel to earn conference freshman of the year honors since Lorne Merthie was named the Atlantic Sun top frosh in 2009. Freeman joins Joe Spinks (1991), Scott Neely (1992) and Dan Pogue (1993) as CU performers to earn top rookie notice in the Big South.
A point guard from Virginia Beach, Va., Freeman led all Big South freshmen in scoring (14.2), free throw percentage (.868), field goal accuracy (.441), assist-turnover ratio (1.6) and minutes played (.32.25), while ranking 2nd in assists (3.89).
He closed the regular season as the conference leader in foul shooting. Overall, he enters Wednesday's Advance Auto Parts Big South Championship quarterfinal game vs. Winthrop ranked sixth in assists, fifth in assist-turnover ratio, 8th in minutes, 10th in field goal accuracy and 14th in scoring.
Freeman has scored in double digits 23 times in 27 games, including five, 20-point efforts. He scored a season-high 28 points in a 96-82 win over Liberty (Dec. 1), tallied 22 in a 62-57 triumph over Charleston Southern (Feb. 2) and had 20 (including 12-of-12 from the line) in Campbell's 76-74 victory against East Carolina (Nov. 14).
The 6-foot-2 guard opened the year by setting a school record of 29-straight free throws made, a mark he broke in January and February when he hit 35-straight from the line. Freeman handed out at least five assists in a game nine times, including a season-high 10 against Methodist and 9 in a victory over High Point (Dec. 3).
Freeman received nine first-place votes and 92 total points, ahead of Charleston Southern's Saah Nimley (five first-place votes, 79 points). Freeman missed 3 games with a concussion in January, but recovered to help the Camels (17-14, 11-7) earn the third seed in the Big South tournament.
Griffin joined Dickey, Nick Barbour of High Point, Jesse Sanders of Liberty, Martin and Al'Lonzo Coleman of Presbyterian on the all-conference first-team. His selection marks the fifth time in seven seasons that a Campbell player has been named to the all-league first team.
The 6-foot-8 forward from Orlando, Fla., leads the Big South in field goal percentage (.614) and blocked shots (2.3), while ranking third in rebounds (8.7) and ninth in scoring (15.9). He ranks seventh among the nation's most accurate shooters and has already broken the school record for blocked shots (69) he set last year.
Griffin already stands 3rd on Campbell's career blocked shots (130) list in only 59 games. He has produced 17 career double-doubles, including 12 this season. In addition, he is in the Final 8 of the ESPN Dunks of the Year competition and Final 4 of the State Farm Dark Horse Dunker race.
He has produced 5 of the top 7 blocked shots performances by a Big South player this year, including career-high 6 at Iowa, where he scored 23 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in Campbell's 77-61 win over the Hawkeyes. He tops all Big South players with 7 games of 20-plus points and 10-plus rebounds and has set a school senior class (Division I era) record for rebounds (261).
A junior guard from Danville, Va., White ranks 7th among league scoring (16.8) leaders, 5th in field goal shooting (.520), 6th in blocks (1.1) and 19th in rebounding (5.6). The 6-foot-4 guard has scored 20 or more points 10 times this season, including a pair of 33-point efforts (in wins over North Carolina A&T and Methodist).
White has scored in double figures in 27 of 31 games with 4 double-doubles. His 521 points are already 6th-highest single-season total in school Division I era ('77-78) and set a school junior class record.
He was joined on the all-conference second team by J.P. Primm of UNC Asheville, Stan Okoye of VMI and Coastal Carolina teammates Anthony Raffa and Chris Gradnigo.
Dickey finished the regular-season tied for fourth in overall scoring with 16.9 points per game and was second in the Big South with an 86.2 free throw percentage for the regular season champion UNCA Bulldogs. The fifth player in Big South history with 400 career rebounds and 400 career assists, Dickey received nine first-place votes and 188 total points from the panel, ahead of High Point's Nick Barbour (three first-place votes and 158 points) and Liberty's Jesse Sanders (three first-place votes and 148 total points).
Radebaugh earned his first Big South Men's Basketball Coach of the Year honor after leading the Buccaneers to a third-place tie with Campbell in the Big South standings -- the squad's highest Conference finish since the 2002-03 campaign. Radebaugh received seven first-place votes and 43 total points, edging out UNC Asheville's Eddie Biedenbach (11 first-place votes and 40 total points).
Martin repeated as the Big South's top defensive player after leading the league in steals (2.1), rebounds (9.2) and defensive rebounds (6.69) as well as ranking second in blocked shots (1.55).

Hello, yes you can rinse your mouth but remember you should not apply pressure while spitting after you rinse. Stiffness usually subsides after 10 to 15 days but still it is advisable to consult your dentist who performed the removal of the tooth. Kindly follow the advice and put an end to your sufferings.

If there is tooth ache issue, you should consult your dentist immediately, the swelling is due to pus accumulation which can spread to adjacent tissue, please don't hesitate to go to nearby dentist and get the pus drained, after the pus is drained, the gum swelling will start reducing.
23 years old male from Coimbatore asked
I am 23 year old male. Left side downside teeth is paining severely. I taken combiflam tablet. Still my teeth pain not reduced. I can't able to eat. I can't able to chew it. My left side chin also paining. My upside and downside teeth touches pain is there. Because of these I am not getting sleep aso. Suffering more. Combiflam and amoxsylin and brufen tablet and clove available here. Please help me. I am working in a ship. Here these three tablets and clove only available. Please Help me.
Most probably your concerned tooth needs Root Canal Treatment and capping to be done by a dentist. Dentist will numb the area with a local anaesthetic and start the procedure. Before treating it dentist may take an X-ray of the tooth and if required antibiotic course before starting RCT. So don't wait for any miracle to happen as either RCT or Removal (if the tooth is badly decayed) seems to be the required treatment to be done for the concerned tooth. Hope this helps.

Dear Lybrateuser, - Bad smell from the mouth can be avoided by proper oral hygiene & diet - brush your teeth after every meal with a soft brush for two min or at least twice a day, do flossing once or twice a day, clean the back of your tongue with a tongue cleaner - do Listerine gargles twice a day - have more of fruits & vegetables in your diet, avoid fried, spicy & junk food - if still not much improvement then check with a dentist to rule out any dental cavies or gap in between teeth where food gets stuck or any other oral condition which is giving rise to your problem.

1. Use Neem datun daily in the morning. No need to do brush with the paste or vigorous rubbing of the teeth and gums. 2. Mix rock salt (saindha namak)- half tsp and lemon juice/ soda powder - 1/4 tsp. Do gentle rubbing on the teeth and gums using the middle finger only. Leave for 2 minutes and clean the mouth. Do this twice weekly. Skip Neem datun for those two days in a week. 3. Do gentle brushing in the night daily before sleeping with any Ayurvedic good tooth paste daily. 4. Oral hygiene is mandatory. Smoking, chewing tobacco, lots of sweetened beverages, too much sweets, alcohol, etc are not good for oral hygiene. 5. Rinse your mouth after main meals with water.

It's hard to tell by the pictures (pictures help a lot but it would be much easier to give you a 100% do this response if we could feel the highs and lows in person). I feel that a little to much pressure was put on the block and to fine a paper was used...I would re-prime, guide coat the hood, put some 180 on the long block and gently sand the hood in a cross hatch method. If your not sure what cross hatch means, it means to sand in one direction like //// for 6 to 10 strokes across the hood...then go back the other way \\\\...always gently letting the sand paper do the work...not you pushing on down on the block. Once you see that the panel is getting straight, re-guide coat and move to a finer grit, nothing courser than 280 grit. Use the same cross hatch method until the guide coat is gone or you burn through to the gel coat.
You should have enough material on the hood...now that the hood is getting straight you could give the hood 2 more medium wet coats of primer, guide coat and then long block with 400 grit minimum, (I always like something a little finer for base coat like 600 wet but 400 usually works quite well)...Now use your Wax and Grease remover to check for the panel being straight...if it's not, you will need to long block some more, if it is straight...paint it.

ThyssenKrupp Split No Longer Taboo as Cevian In: Real M&A
A breakup of ThyssenKrupp AG -- an idea long-resisted by its biggest shareholder -- is starting to look more realistic after activist investor Cevian Capital AB increased its stake in the German conglomerate.
Swedish investment firm Cevian disclosed its higher stake in September and is now ThyssenKrupp's second-biggest owner. The stock has gained 11 percent since then on optimism the firm may push for measures such as a breakup of the $13.5 billion company, whose operations range from steel-making to elevator systems and bearings for wind turbines. Commerzbank AG says the company would be better off separating its major businesses, and the average of four analysts' sum-of-the-parts estimates indicates a potential return for shareholders of 30 percent.
"A breakup is conceivable," said Joerg Schneider, a money manager at Union Investment, which oversees about 200 billion euros ($270 billion), including ThyssenKrupp shares. "Activist shareholders can set quite a few things in motion. Suddenly things become possible that were considered very improbable," he said in a phone interview from Frankfurt.
ThyssenKrupp, whose biggest shareholder the Krupp foundation has a blocking stake, is projected to report a third straight annual net loss next month amid unprofitable steel investments in the Americas and bribery and price-fixing scandals. Even after trimming costs and streamlining operations, including putting the American steel business up for sale, it commands a lower valuation than 92 percent of peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. While the Krupp foundation has vowed to keep the company together, Bankhaus Lampe KG says in time even it will probably back a breakup, too.
'Makes Sense'
"A split-up makes sense long term because the industrial division is growing faster and is more profitable than the cyclical steel division. That would be the right way," Marc Gabriel, an analyst at Bankhaus Lampe, said in a phone interview from Dusseldorf. "I don't expect resistance from shareholders," including the Krupp foundation, he said.
Robin Zimmermann, a spokesman at Essen, Germany-based ThyssenKrupp, declined to comment on the possibility of an eventual breakup.
ThyssenKrupp was formed in 1999 from the merger of Thyssen AG and Fried. Krupp AG Hoesch-Krupp. Its largest shareholder, the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation, holds a 25.3 percent stake, according to regulatory filings, and has veto power over any major decision.
A representative for the Krupp foundation declined to comment when asked whether the foundation would support a possible splitup of ThyssenKrupp.
Writedowns, Fines
Germany's biggest steelmaker, ThyssenKrupp has been hurt by a succession of steel-related writedowns and corruption probes that resulted in three executive board members being ousted in December as well as antitrust fines. In March, Gerhard Cromme, its chairman since 2001, resigned. ThyssenKrupp said today it agreed with Deutsche Bahn AG on the payment of compensation for price collusion in the sale of railway tracks and sees no further costs beyond already recognized provisions.
ThyssenKrupp, which didn't pay its latest annual dividend, has lost almost 60 percent in market value from its peak in 2008.
Chief Executive Officer Heinrich Hiesinger, appointed in January 2011, is seeking to fortify the company by expanding its non-steel business and selling assets, including unprofitable plants in Alabama and Brazil's Rio de Janeiro state. Hiesinger sold the company's Inoxum stainless-steel unit in December.
Sale Talks
"The disposal of Inoxum has demonstrated that the company is prepared to break with tradition," Sven Diermeier, an analyst at Independent Research GmbH, said in a phone interview from Frankfurt.
ThyssenKrupp is in talks to sell its Alabama plant to ArcelorMittal, the world's biggest steelmaker, and Japan's Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp. (5401), who teamed up for their offer, according to two people familiar with the matter. The companies aim to reach an agreement in the coming weeks, though talks could still fall apart, said the people, who asked not to be identified because negotiations are private.
ThyssenKrupp fell 1.6 percent today to 19.09 euros, making it the biggest decliner among stocks in the benchmark DAX Index.
Cevian Stake
The company said yesterday that it was in exclusive talks on the sale of the Alabama plant and a related slab supply contract, without providing further details. Representatives for ThyssenKrupp and ArcelorMittal (MT) declined to comment on a possible transaction. Tsuyoshi Yoshizumi, a Tokyo-based spokesman at Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal, also declined to comment.
Cevian disclosed Sept. 25 that it raised its holdings in ThyssenKrupp to 5.2 percent, fueling optimism that greater participation will spur restructuring. The Swedish firm has since increased its stake and is now ThyssenKrupp's second-largest shareholder with a 6.1 percent holding, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
In September, Jens Tischendorf, a partner at Cevian, said in a statement that it backed the strategy of ThyssenKrupp's management and sees "significant potential for the development" of the company.
Roland Klein, a spokesman for Cevian at CNC Communications, reiterated yesterday that the firm supports management, and declined to comment on a possible breakup.
'Good Record'
"Cevian Capital has a very good track record in Germany and enforced changes at equity holdings that increased value," Ingo-Martin Schachel, an analyst at Commerzbank, said in a phone interview from Frankfurt. "That can also be helpful for the other ThyssenKrupp shareholders."
Even after gaining since Cevian disclosed its increased stake, ThyssenKrupp's enterprise value is just 6.3 times its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in the past 12 months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with a median of about 11 times for steel producers and industrial companies with market values larger than $5 billion, the data show.
Based on the sum of its parts, ThyssenKrupp should be valued at about 25.2 euros a share, according to the average of four analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg, compared with yesterday's closing price of 19.4 euros. The lowest estimate at 21.93, from Bankhaus Lampe's Gabriel, still values ThyssenKrupp 13 percent higher than yesterday's close.
Elevator Upside
The company would be better positioned without its steel and materials services units so it could focus on its technologies businesses, Independent Research's Diermeier said.
"A spinoff, possibly combined with a partial IPO, could open the way," while allowing the Krupp foundation to maintain its investment, Diermeier said. A breakup "won't happen fast because political opposition must be expected and it makes sense to wait for the effect of the restructuring."
Commerzbank's Schachel estimates ThyssenKrupp's value at as much as 30 euros a share in a breakup. He said the elevator technology business alone could be worth as much as 12 billion euros to a buyer that can exploit synergies to keep costs down. That's more than ThyssenKrupp's current market value of about 10 billion euros.
For each of ThyssenKrupp's business units, there's a conceivable partner, and that opens a wide range of possibilities, said Christian Obst, an analyst at Baader Bank AG who estimates ThyssenKrupp is worth 25 euros a share based on the sum of its parts. Even so, a transaction may be difficult because of issues such as more than 7 billion euros of pension and similar liabilities.
Gaining Traction?
A split-up of ThyssenKrupp may not be attractive for shareholders, in part, because the steel operations are "extremely volatile," Hans-Peter Wodniok, an analyst at Fairesearch GmbH, said in a phone interview from Kronberg near Frankfurt.
Union Investment's Schneider said ThyssenKrupp's sum-of-the-parts value isn't significantly higher than its current price. While a breakup is conceivable, it would likely meet with resistance from staff as well as politicians seeking to keep the German company together, he said.
Before considering any breakup moves, ThyssenKrupp needs to focus on its restructuring efforts, improve its free cash flow and repair its balance sheet, Alessandro Abate, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase & Co., wrote in an Oct. 29 report.
Even so, Abate said a split into two pieces -- capital goods and materials -- is conceivable in two years' time and the two entities could have a combined worth of more than 35 euros a share.
A break-up scenario "may gain traction if Cevian further increases its stake," he wrote.

Bills make more moves in scouting department
The Buffalo Bills are the first team in the post-draft phase to make moves in its scouting department.
They began the process last week by firing long-time vice president of college scouting Tom Modrak. They also promoted Doug Whaley to assistant general manager/director of player personnel.
On Wednesday, the team hired Tom Gibbons as pro personnel director and Chuck Cook as director of college scouting.
Gibbons, who worked previously for the Bills for 11 years (1992-2003), spent the past seven years as a college scout with the San Diego Chargers.
Cook, who has been in scouting for many years, was the director of college scouting for the Kansas City Chiefs for 12 seasons (1997-2008). He was a regional scout for the Miami Dolphins for the past three seasons.

FOXBORO -- If we know anything at all about Sunday's game between the Patriots and the Seahawks, it's that CenturyLink Field is going to be as loud as any stadium in the history of the sport.
For New Englanders who have never been to Seattle to witness a Seahawks game first-hand, all you have is the good word of the Patriots players who have played there before.
And veteran Vince Wilfork wants you to believe him when he says it's abnormally loud.
"Probably Seattle. Seattle is probably one of the loudest stadiums around," said Wilfork before Thursday's practice at Gillette Stadium. "And you know what? It shows. The offsides penalties and stuff. It shows."
Wilfork and the rest of the Patriots defense won't have it quite as bad as New England's offense though. Seahawks fans will want their quarterback to work under a much less hectic environment than Tom Brady.
So, what do offensive players think of the noise level in Seattle?
"It's a tough place to play," said Patriots offensive lineman Logan Mankins on Thursday. "Been there before. It's super loud. They have a good defense, so it's going to be tough.
"I've been in some loud ones. It's one of the loudest. Last time I was there, their team wasn't that good. They were out of the playoffs already and that place was still rocking. So, they've got good support out there."
For all the talk about New England's lightning-quick no-huddle offense, the Seahawks' fan base hopes to throw a wrench into those plans with their noise volume, making the Patriots' communication with each other that much more difficult especially on the offensive line.
"A lot of it's mental toughness," said Mankins. "Just being able to focus through that. It takes a lot of communication. You can't just look over and say it. You've got to scream it to the guy next to you, so he can hear you. Just making sure everyone's on the same page, when you can't verbally get on the same page all the time."

LoadMatch System Engineering Design Considerations
For design engineers, the concern cited most often about LoadMatch® systems is the temperature cascade of the system. Because the water temperature in the loop changes, it would appear that the terminal units at the end of the loop won't be able to provide the necessary BTU's for the heating or cooling loads.
An examination of basic heat transfer fundamentals will provide the answer. As discussed in this bulletin, the use of basic principles of thermodynamics and psychrometrics will result in comfortable room conditions, including dehumidification, in very humid climates.

Cadillac Reviews Discussion, 2005 SRX V8 lux/perf AWD in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; This is advertised as a luxury performance SUV. For those transitioning from a car to a SUV "type" of vehicle, ...
2005 SRX V8 lux/perf AWD
This is advertised as a luxury performance SUV. For those transitioning from a car to a SUV "type" of vehicle, then this may be a logical step. For those who have many years of driving SUV's (as in body on frame 4wd), this is much more "car like" than Truck. The intended cargo for this vehicle is people, preferably front seat occupants with LONG legs to enter and exit over the wide sill, smaller statured people for the second row and children (grade school) for the 3rd row. There is cargo space either with or without the 3rd row flat. Placing and retreiving groceries is very easy. The height is just about perfect for most grocery getters. Sporting equipment (like Hockey gear bags) would be another use for this area.
The rear section is not as "dog friendly" as other SUV's, meaning that the floor area is not one complete flat surface when all seats are folded. There are gaps between the seats when folded flat, which are places for legs and paws to get stuck/caught.
The NorthStar V8 is very smooth. Manually shifting the transmission results is quick accelerations. The MRC (magnetic ride control) along with the side bolsters in the seats provide substantial stability when most SUV's would be suffereing from body roll. The performance of this vehicle is sound indeed.
The soundsystem is good, providing reasonable acoustics for this space. The XM satellite radio will provide enough choices for every driver. Jazz, country, new age, top 40 and the list is almost endless.
The interior materials are rich in appearance and texture. Doors are solid. The UltraView roof operates quietly and smoothly. At 6000 miles I have not experienced the roof noise that some have noted. Find a winding road on the coast at sunset with the roof open and good tunes playing, and this is almost a religious experience.
The style of the vehicle is strong and edgy. Either you like it. Or you don't. The slope on the nose gives a clear view of the road, however learning the dimensions of the vehicle from the Drivers seat will take some getting used to for those who are used to seeing the hood. The 18" wheels provide a nice "fill" to the wheelwells.
Overall, this is a Luxury Cross-over vehicle with a performance soul. A true SUV it is not. If your primary cargo is a young family and you want a bit of pizazz in your driving, then this is a great vehicle. If you are more interested in Luxury than performance, or truly need an SUV for truck capabilities, then this might be a bit much on the tradeoffs.
Eitherway, drive one. Then decide for yourself. Many GM dealers let you have them overnight. It really makes a difference to park it in your own garage. Stand back and look at the lines. It certainly is a beauty.
Re: 2005 SRX V8 lux/perf AWD
Great review. Thanks for the dog info. I'm strongly considering one of these, and my primary cargo is canine.
But whatever I get, I'm planning to build a cushioned, carpeted base to lay down over the folded-down seats, so the cracks may not be a problem for me.

Unraveled (edition 2011)

Unraveled by Courtney Milan (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Miranda Darling is a quick witted wig-maker with a talent for accents. Smite Turner is the cold and precise magistrate who notices she's lying during a court case. It turns out, their oddities match up very well.
I was amazed at how much I enjoyed this book. It's enjoyable for any book, but downright fantastic for an early Victorian romance. First off, there isn't a ball in sight--their love affair blossoms during conversations about the nature of justice, judgmental comments during bad productions of Shakespeare, and a bout of blackmail from a self-appointed King of Thieves. The characters felt unique and had depth; they have actual struggles and communicate about things beyond just their affection for each other. Both Smite and Miranda have gone through frightening and traumatic experiences, but although they're open about how those experiences inform their current circumstances (Smite in particular, the very definition of an Iron Woobie) they also appreciate the person those experiences has made them; they each refuse to be pitied or feel pitiful, but instead try to be stronger and more useful.
All in all, a book I'm really glad I picked up.
great read again! Why I am not surprised? :)
Love Smite and Miranda was perfect!
Gosh, I Loved this book. I did have to keep reminding myself that it was a romance and I would get my happy ending dog-gone-it!!
I have gotten to a point where the innocent-forced-into-mistress-status kind of stresses me. I guess because I can see that happening more often than I want to think about, and how is a heroine forced into that situation supposed to not be victimized by the hero?? But Milan did an awesome job of keeping me from absolutely cringing at the idea and then even making me think that for this hero & heroine it works.
Smite deserves someone who will see him for the survivor he is. The one who stands in the gap - and I totally see Miranda standing with him - holding him up when he feels like he could falter.
Whoa! Smite Turner. My favorite of the three brothers and the one most damaged by their mother's insanity. Read the Turner trilogy in order for the most enjoyment.

The seventh-ranked Tennessee swimming and diving team ended day two of the NCAA championships in Federal Way, Wash., on Friday but not before the 800 freestyle relay swam to a third-place finish at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatics Center. The Vols ended the night in 10th with 119 points.
Jonas Persson, Nolan Morrell, Andrew Thirlwell and Michael Wolfe teamed up for the bronze finish in the relay and tapped the wall at 6:20.61. Their only faster time came at this year???s SEC Championships when they finished in 6:19.18.
???We finished day two in fantastic fashion,??? UT head coach John Trembley said. ???Among the highlights on the night was the 800 freestyle relay. Persson broke his own school record for the 200 freestyle for the third time tonight. That just rarely happens. It was unbelievable. Morrell, Thirlwell and Wolfe also really came to play in that relay.???
Wolfe, Barry Murphy, Octavio Alesi and Michael DeRocco made up the 10th-place 200 medley relay, clocking in at 1:26.50.
???We pulled Persson from the 200 medley relay to rest him for his other events,??? Trembley said. ???Alesi and DeRocco really did a good job for us.???
Murphy matched the relay by taking the 10-spot in the 100 breaststroke with a personal-best time of 53.47. Wolfe received an All-America award in the 100 backstroke as he finished 15th at 47.83.
It marked the first time either Wolfe or Murphy scored in their respective events at the NCAA Championships.
Persson and Morrell finished 10th and 14th in the 200 freestyle, respectively. Persson splashed to a 1:33.63 finish and Morrell timed in at 1:36.17. This is Persson first time scoring in an individual event at the NCAAs.
Earlier in the day, freshman Brad Craig???s time of 54.20 was a personal best in the 100 breaststroke.
Arizona leads the competition with 376 points. Texas is second (285 points) and Stanford is third (231 points). Florida and Georgia sit ahead of UT in 8th (140 points) and 9th (137 points), respectively. Minnesota trails UT in 11th with 104.5 points.
For Saturday???s competition, Coach Trembley plans to pull Wolfe from the 200 backstroke to rest for the 200 butterfly.
The last and final day of the championships start Saturday at noon with preliminaries and end at 7 p.m. with the finals (Pacific Time).

BMW HP4 the World's Lightest 4-Cylinder 1000cc Sport Bike
posted by Matthew Scott on 2 August 2012 in Motorcycle News
When you consider BMW Motorrad wasn't even involved in the sport bike scene until 2009 with the launch of their now-heralded S1000RR, it's pretty impressive that they've released the lightest 4-cylinder, 1000cc "super-sports" motorcycle ever produced. Based upon the same architecture that enthusiasts have come to love from the S1000RR, the 2013 BMW HP4 takes things to the next level.
BMW Motorrad's HP (High Performance) line was started in 2005 with the introduction of the HP2 Boxer Enduro, and continued on with the lightweight HP2 Sport. The models became known for their use of exotic use of materials such as titanium and carbon fiber to reduce weight and increase performance, as well as integrating industry leading technology into the motorcycles. The HP4 continues this tradition by reducing the weight of the S1000RR by 5 lbs to a paltry 373 lbs dry, and 433 lbs ready to race, and adds an industry first — DDC (Dynamic Dampening Control).
Through the use of sensors and electronically controlled regulation valves the DDC system allows the computer to adjust the suspension instantly to the rider's every move. The dampening system allows the bike to provide the most traction available to the new, larger 200/55 ZR 17 tire. And if you plan to run slicks on the HP4 while attacking your local track, the traction control and ABS systems have a tire mode specifically designed for that instance.
The engine is the same 193-hp unit as found in the S1000RR, but with a slightly recurved engine map for thicker torque delivery in the mid-range. True to its race track intentions, all of the engine's power is available in all four of its power modes (rain, sport, race and slick) with identical power curves.

" Brand: Boots Botanics / Type: Body Scrub / Subcategory: Exfoliator / Suitable for: Body / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types / What it does: Exfoliates, "
I have received the Bathing Enlivening Body Polish, part of the Botanics rage from Boots, part of a gift set for Christmas as a present. Though I normally I never buy any body scrubs because I make my own or I just use an exfoliating natural sponge, having it received as a present I though I might just as well give it a good try and finished it up, after all it does not smell bad at all.
The Botanics range is an attempt into bringing more natural ingredients into cosmetics by Boots. It is however an illusion as their products still have a load full of chemicals in them that I would much rather avoid and make my own cosmetics.
This Body Polish or scrub, however you like to call it, contains natural crushed apricot seeds and Centella as part of the active plant extracts.
After I took a relaxing bubble bath I scrubber the skin on my body with thisd product. Fist I used plastic gloves to protect my moist hands from the exfoliating beads after all I wanted to exfoliate my body and not the palm of my hands more.
The first thing that I noticed was the very faint scent, it has a rather green perfume sweet cologne combination to me. It is not offensive at all.
I though I could double the use of this product and use it to exfoliate my face in the bath also but I found the exfoliating beads far too little present in order to cover a good portion of my face so it can not actually be used for the face at all.
However as a body scrub it works very well, is mild enough not to hurt you skin but I could of done with more exfoliating beads in it.
I will not repurchase this, I do not think is a terrible product but for £3.99 a 200ml tube I can make myself far more nicer things, for example coffee beads work just as well or simply a body loofah sponge.
Being a thoroughly modern man personal grooming is very important to me, I do not spend many hours in the gym creating the body perfect only to be let down by the odd stray nasal hair or a patch of dry skin so I have always used an exfoliator at least a couple of times a week while in the shower. I would like to point out that I do shower more than two times a week as we are now rich enough to boil the kettle three times a week.
Anyway about a week ago I was not happy to find my usual Simple exfoliator empty on the side of the bath room. Obviously one of the ankle biters had used it instead of shower gel however under intense questioning I was unable to remove the butter would not melt expressions both chose to adopt so being a fair parent I blamed my daughter as there is some doubt that soap ever actually touches the body of The Boy.
Forced to visit the Milton Keynes Boots which has a manager who delights in endlessly moving the displays around to increase the time you have to spend in the store I was unable to find my usual brand or a member of staff so plumped for the Botanics Exfoliator which looked like good value at £3.99 for a 250ml pot.
However the one downside to this product is the packaging. It comes in a clear plastic pot with a silver screw lid. This means that while using it in the shower you have to dip your fingers in it which means that some water does get into the product and effectively waters it down and makes it quite sloppy to use if you prefer to apply it in using your hands. The only way around this is to use a wash cloth and run the risk of finding grit on the cloth for the next couple of days.
The marketing idea of the whole Botanics range is to utilize the power of plants which did bring back some adolescent nightmares after watching Day of the Triffids many years ago. In this particular product this means using quillaja extract to help cleanse and sooth the skin. The product is a light green in colour and contains microbeads to remove dead skin as well as the quillaja which is there to leave the skin feeling fresh and smooth. It has a gritty texture as you would expect and I did find it slightly runny even before the water got into it.
To be honest the smell is not the nicest that I have ever smelled, it has a slight citrus smell however there is also a slight hint of rubber to it, almost like a balloon smells. It is not very strong or repulsive but then neither is it very pleasant.
In terms of whether it is effective in doing its job then on the whole I would have to say yes. It rubs into the skin easily and it is also easy to rinse off. I also have found that a little does go a long way as I have been using it for about a month now and have hardly made a dent in the contents however at the same time it is not the most pleasant exfoliator that I have used and I certainly would not buy it again if I could only find my normal product made by Simple.
I cant say that I have noticed any significant improvement to my skin tone or feel however it is not any worse for using the product compared with other exfoliators.
In conclusion it is good value as at the current rate I have a good few months of use left out of it however unless it is on offer it will not be a repeat purchase s I do not like either the packaging or the smell.
I got this product from boots for £3.99 for 250ml. It is manufactured by Boots.
Thanks for reading and rating my review.

Grilled Deviled Chickens Under a Brick
Grilling these chickens under a heavy weight will help them cook quickly and evenly, leaving them crisp and juicy.
- Servings: 4
Photography: MARIA ROBLEDO
Source: Martha Stewart Living, July/August 1996
- 4 baby chickens (poussins) or Cornish hens (about 1 1/4 pounds each), or 4 chicken breast halves
- 3 lemons, plus wedges for garnish
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 tablespoon crushed red-pepper flakes, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt, to taste
If using whole chickens, use kitchen shears to cut along one side of the backbone of each chicken. Then cut along the other side to remove backbone; discard it. Open the chickens, skin side up, on a clean surface. Press down to flatten. Place in a large bowl.
Thinly slice 2 lemons. Squeeze the juice of remaining lemon and add both to bowl with chickens. Add remaining ingredients, except salt, and toss. Refrigerate, covered, 30 minutes or overnight.
Heat a grill to medium hot. Wrap 4 bricks with aluminum foil (a large heavy skillet can also be used). Remove chickens from marinade; salt both sides. Brush grill with oil; transfer chickens to the grill, skin side up, and place bricks on top of chickens. Grill 10 to 15 minutes per side, until skin is dark brown and juices run clear when chicken is pierced. Serve garnished with lemon wedges.

SUPERbrand Apparel announced today the addition of Chocolate Skateboards Pro, Chris Roberts to the team. The Malibu native joins Am John Motta as the second member of the skateboarding team for SUPERbrand Apparel, which launched its first Collection in June.
Known for his unique blend of seemingly effortless and technical skating, Roberts' laid back style makes him a great fit for SUPERbrand Apparel. Among other highlights, his video parts in Transworld SKATEboarding's 2006 release "A Time to Shine" and Chocolate Skateboard's "Hot Chocolate Tour" are true testaments to Roberts' influence on modern skateboarding.
"I've known Chris for years and he's one of my all-time favorite humans," said Tony Larson, Creative Director for SUPERbrand. "Everything has already been said about how good he is on the wood plank, but you can't say enough about how great of a person he is. I think the best is yet to come from Chris!"
Look for the Brand to support Roberts with regular web-updates as he films for the upcoming Chocolate video. Fall 2011 will bring further exclusive content and the debut of Roberts' signature apparel pack.

Dolan, NY Catholic Bishops Lobby Against Abortion
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and archbishop of New York, is urging Governor Andrew Cuomo and state lawmakers to reject pending bills to codify abortion rights and open a window for victims of child sex abuse to sue for old incidents.
Joined by other Catholic bishops from around New York, Dolan said the meeting was "friendly and substantive," which covered a wide range of topics from Catholic education and prisons to the reproductive health act and budget cuts.
The group was "bolstered" by Cuomo's assurances Monday that following last year's legalization of gay marriage, which they opposed, he'll protect their religious freedom to not go along. "He said listen I need to assure you that I feel as passionately about the protection of religious freedom as I do about the redefinition of gay marriage, so that gave us consolation," Dolan said.
Regarding abortions, Dolan says that rather than expanding that legal right, they want to see it narrowed. Dolan was particularly worried about the potential intrusion into the life of the church. "Our attorneys tell us be careful because if this law passes church health facilities and hospitals may be coerced into doing abortions," he explained. He added Cuomo gave them "no assurances."
He said opening a one-year window for sex abuse suits now barred by a statute of limitation would devastate parish finances. He admitted that the one year window is what bothers the church. "Whenever you tamper with the statue of limitations you're asking for trouble," he said. He added it would single out the church and it would limit the "good works" of the church.
"We bristle sometimes, and I think we bishops have been very contrite in admitting that the church did not handle this well at all," he said. "But we bristle sometimes in that the church doesn't get the credit now in being in the vanguard of reform."

Ideally, a paper is like a Mozart symphony. Everything fits together perfectly, and the removal of a single note, or a single sentence, would destroy the whole. In a paper, the overall objectives must be clear, the design coherent, and the individual themes linked to each other and to the whole. Paragraphs must form coherent units, linked to other paragraphs and to the big picture by well-defined topic sentences and by transitional clauses and sentences. Above all, the logic of your argument, from your largest point to the smallest detail, must be expressed with clarity and precision.
The evidence you marshall to support your position are the building blocks of your argument. The nature of the evidence will vary according to the nature of the topic and argument. In a paper focusing on a single text, for example, the evidence will often be the text itself. Papers dealing with broad social phenomena may draw upon statistical studies for evidence, while a paper on political history may rely on a single documents reconstructing policies, motives, and objectives. While primary evidence is strongest, it is often the case that you must rely upon the authority of secondary sources, a reliance that ideally is not based on blind trust of authority but rather a critical reading of secondary scholarship.
Context is essential to any paper. You must provide your readers not only with background information necessary to introduce your topic and question, but also with material that is essential to an understanding of individual points in your argument. Your evidence and your points may be perfectly sound, but without the appropriate context, they will be lost on your readers. Context is thus crucial for establishing the logic of your argument.
The idea of a topic with multiple interpretations often conjures up images of competing schools of thought and of subjects that are strikingly "controversial" or that have pro-con, black-white interpretations. It is true that there are competing schools of thought in almost every discipline, and some subjects are controversial. But most are not. To interpret is to explain meaning and significance; typically developing an interpretation means imposing order, clarifying distinctions, and defining concepts, not engaging two diametrically opposed views. In most cases, arguments are not cast in terms of black and white, but rather subtle shades of gray. The counter-arguments are typically not comprehensive alternatives to your whole argument, but small counterpoints to individual points. And often it is authors of themselves who create counter-arguments and produce counter- evidence. As you develop your argument, you become aware of, and make note of, alternative ways of making sense of the evidence or problem immediately at hand.
That a particular question is open to different interpretations does not carry with it the implication that one argument is as good as an other. The overriding consideration is whether the argument is effective. Two authors, for example, may address the same question and arrive at the same answer, and yet one author's interpretation is argued effectively while the other's is not. Similarly, two authors may address the same question and arrive at radically different interpretations, and yet both interpretations may be argued effectively.
The function of a conclusion is to bring together the various strands of your argument, but effective conclusions do not simply summarize points that have been previously made. Conclusions should return the reader to the guiding question and objectives of the paper and bring matters to a resolution. Often, authors save for the conclusions special insights or perspectives related to their question and thesis, especially of the kind that do not call for exacting proof.
The number of sources you use will depend entirely on your topic, question, and approach. There is no set formula. If you concentrate on a single text, for example, the number of sources you use beyond that text may be relatively small. Other topics necessarily demand a breadth of reading. Often you will simply use chapters or portions of books or journal articles. You should read the materially carefully and thoughtfully, but recognize that you may save time by using table of contents and indices wisely. You may use textbooks, encyclopedias, and dictionaries for reference, but it is expected that the bulk of your argument will be based on either primary sources or scholarly articles and books.
(1) The first is rather traditional. Select a general area or topic that interests you, read more about it, and then gradually develop a well-defined topic and question. The scope of the topic may remain quite broad, or it may become narrowly focused, to the point even of being based on primary sources. Again the availability of appropriate sources is of critical importance. Often, you will be faced with a number of viable options. Those interested in the witch hunts of Early Modern Europe, for example, will find several studies that offer comprehensive interpretations of the big picture--the rise, proliferation, and decline of the hunts. While a topic of such breadth is possible, further reading may suggest to you more focused, thematic topics dealing with the witch-hunts such as the relationship between women victims of the hunts and early modern perceptions of women or the debate among early modern intellectuals about the reality of witchcraft.
(2) The second is to focus on a single text (or perhaps two or three). When you pose questions of the text, you may concentrate primarily on questions whose answers are found either within the text itself or, alternatively, in the relationship between the text and context. Thus, a paper on John Locke's Second Treatise of Government, for example, could focus solely on questions derived from Locke's argument as developed in the text. Or it could explore the relationship between Locke's theory and previous theories against which Locke is responding (a key part of the intellectual context) or between Locke's theory and the political events of Locke's time (the political context).
If you choose to focus on a single text, you first need to master the text, developing a solid understanding of its purpose, structure, logic, and themes. You should also need to read secondary interpretations of the text, and you should at least familiarize yourself with the historical context using secondary sources since and understanding of context may hel you frame "internal" questions. If your are concentrating on the relationship between text and context, you will need to undertake a more systematic and comprehensive review of secondary literature examining the author's audience and purpose and the wider historical context.
Effective writing takes work. You will always be rethinking, remodelling, and rewriting, and you will constantly need to find new sources and undertake more research. As your argument takes shape, however, your work becomes more focused. You may need to conduct more research, but you know exactly what kind of evidence or context you need. You may need to rework or clarify a section of your argument, but you can isolate the paragraph or sentences that need to be reworked.

(FAIRFIELD, Oh.) - A registered sex offender from Fairfield, Ohio is in police custody after a search warrant was served following a child pornography investigation.
Fairfield Police served the search warrant Monday, at the home of Brent King, 47, of 352 Lauryn Meadows Count. During the search, Police seized electronics that they believed contained child pornography. King was convicted in 2007 on a child molestation charge, of sexually abusing a child in Indiana.
Attorney General DeWine announced Tuesday, "This defendant was convicted of sexually abusing a child in the past, and now we believe he has victimized other children through the sharing and downloading of child pornography."
The Ohio Adult Parole Academy took King into custody on a parole investigation and he is currently being held at the Butler County Jail. More charges may be filed within the next couple of days.

Are Clouds Gathering Over Google's Stock?
Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) has been down nearly 10% following lackluster earnings last month, and by some accounts the outlook is grim for the Mountain View mega-searcher. Despite the innumerable projects and products it has released, Google continues to rely on search as its primary earnings growth mechanism, and while revenues have increasedyear-over-year, it remains unclear whether net income will continue to grow.
Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
C = Catalyst for the Stock's Movement
Advertising currently makes up about two-thirds of Google's total revenue, with mobile advertising accounting for more than half of that. This is, of course, nothing new; we have search and advertising revenues to thank for the ascent of Google's stock price over the past few years. Yet the prospects for growth remain questionable. Cost per click on ads, or what advertisers are willing to pay Google for each advertising click, has been on the decline for 4 consecutive quarters. Users are half as likely to purchase a product after clicking on a mobile ad, as opposed to a PC ad, and thus far that statistical reality has served as a bargaining chip for advertisers. Google CFO Patrick Pichette also cites "currency headwinds, the balance between developed and emerging markets, the number of ads shown on Google sites versus other sites in its network and changes in types of ads" as factors, but the fact remains: advertising is going mobile, and mobile advertising is less profitable so far.
Meanwhile, anti-trust concerns continue to plague prospects for growth in search. The Federal Trade Commission and European Commission continue to investigate Google for anti-trust violations relating to search, and the favoritism Google allegedly displays towards its own products, (e.g. Google Maps, YouTube, or Google Images). One can only wonder what the growth prospects are in search when the company is already being investigated for anti-trust violations. How much more can Google grow this area of its business without attracting more negative regulatory attention?
Other more popular Google properties – Google Drive, the Android mobile platform, Gmail – are not highly profitable products. They keep Google at the fore in our every day lives, but as we've seen from the Facebook IPO, popularity contests don't generate cash. Google Books had potential, and yet the company seems to have made little progress with that project since Judge Denny Chin rejected the Google Books settlement last year.
Still, Google has some new products on the horizon worthy of consideration…
H = High Quality Product Pipeline for Future Good News is Mixed
Ok fine, Project Glass is pretty cool, but also pretty far from effective monetization. Again, the idea is interesting, but of course that's not enough. Google's needs to establish that demand exists for its augmented reality glasses, which allow users to essentially wear smartphones on their face. Google is breaking new ground with this product, and at this point we have no idea what the demand will be.
Aside from the fact that people simply may not want this product, there are a lot of kinks to be worked out. What sort of liability could Google face when a calendar appointment flashes, distracts a driver, and causes a car accident? Will anti-Google Glasses laws follow anti-texting laws? More importantly, if I can't use these things in my car, what's point? Now I need the phone, the headphones, and the glasses when I walk out in the morning? God forbid its sunny and I need separate sunglasses. Where the hell do I put my wallet?
Even if a purpose is found for these things, and even if they don't get people killed in the process, Google Glasses may just go the way of the Segway – weird tech that's laughed at, not bought. Google will need to address these issues and many more before effective monetization can occur.
Google Fiber, on the other hand, is a promising project that could allow Google to supplant the entrenched ISPs for which so many customers harbor a truly visceral hatred. The Comcasts (NASDAQ:CMCSA) and Verizons (NYSE:VZ) of the world are quasi-monopolistic, inefficient, lobbying machines, and the market would just love a vertically integrated, socially responsible tech giant to replace these crooks. Unlike the other ISPs in the business, Google builds all of its own hardware and has the ability, and more importantly, the desire to run a much more efficient broadband delivery business catering to those fed up with the low-speed status quo.
That said, delivering broadband is not a walk in the park. It's capital intensive, it takes time to develop key infrastructure, it requires a variety of permits and legal permissions on a locale-to-locale basis, and it assumes penetration into fiefdoms ruled by deeply instantiated ISPs — each of whom would jump at the chance to keep Google out of their backyard, and probably have ways of doing so. Most importantly, it means developing expertise in fiber, which is not exactly Google's bread and butter, though to some extent that process has already begun. Google has been working on developing its own hardware since 2010, and after two years the service is now available in Kansas City. It will be years before the service pays for itself and generates the kind of income that can supplant, or even supplement Google search revenues; but, eventually it could do both…

T = Trends Provide Questionable Support for the in Which Industry Google Operates
For years, Google has represented all things new, techy, and forward thinking. Yet the biggest trend to speak of is the shift to mobile, which remains at best a mixed blessing for Google. Google makes significantly less money on each mobile ad it sells as compared to each PC ad it sells, even as mobile ad sales have begun to dismantle the very engine of growth that made Google supreme. And what will replace PC search as a contributor to Google's bottom line? It would appear to be mobile search, which now represents the largest single revenue stream contributing to Google's earnings, as the desktop market wanes, and the smartphone and tablet markets thrive.
But how will mobile search replace PC search when the cost per click on ads has been in decline for 4 consecutive quarters, largely the result of lower mobile ad prices? How can it do so when, despite having 75% of the smartphone market, Android accounted for just 5.5% of Black Friday web traffic, according to IBM? Android's continued success is cited tirelessly as a positive factor for growth in Google's ad revenue, yet increases from Android must be discounted by losses in cost per click, contextualized as a less profitable business cannibalizing a more profitable one, and sobered by the reality that Android users simply spend less money than Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS users.
After all, Android phones are cheap –is it really so surprising their users are cheap too?
The picture for Google grows gloomier when we realize that all of this assumes Google will actually continue to indefinitely increase its Android market share at the current pace, which by the way, is impossible. With fierce competition from Apple, any substantial market share increase may be difficult. Android already makes up as much as 75% of the smartphone market; how much room for growth is there? At best, Google can continue to "win" the mobile war, which really means replacing a more profitable business with an unprofitable one, and then some how convincing advertisers that mobile search suddenly deserves much higher prices. At worst, Google faces increasingly fierce competition from Apple's Siri — and other apps that Google's search algorithm can't crawl — as Google PC search market share is cannibalized by mobile search, and as Google pays revenue-sharing payments for Mobile Safari traffic on Apple's iPhone.
Google search may be entrenched, but its tough to see how it can be poised for growth.
At the same time, computing is also moving to the cloud, another major trend in the industry. Google has done much to take advantage of this shift, and is currently competing with companies the likes of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Rackspace (NYSE:RAX), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). Google's entrance into the market with Google Drive was welcomed, but effective monetization is clearly an afterthought as Google engages in a price-slashing war with Amazon for market share of the cloud…

S = Support is Provided by Institutional Investors and Company Insiders
Everything up to this point tells you just one thing: sell. But we can't forget the technical factors. The market appears to have priced in much of its recent disappointment with Google, and perhaps even overcompensated. Value investors may be concerned for the company's future, but short-term traders might see opportunity. Soros Fund Management seems to agree, having recently added a position in the company. Given the fund's history of buying and selling Google stock, its not unlikely that the intention is to turn a profit on a market correction. So maybe Google is a technical play, but that's about it.
An investment in Google has to be about one of two things at this point: a long-term investment on the promise of Google Fiber, or a short-term investment premised on a looming market correction. Google has found support at its 200-day moving average, and while its PE remains slightly above average at around 20.93 after a 10% drop in share value, that's not historically high for Google. Large investors may view this as an opportunity to profit from a market correction, and smaller investors might try to ride that wave. Current shareholders might find it worth the wait, either to take some quick gains with the search giant on a market correction, or hold out for Google Fiber. Either way, right now it's unclear whether adding a position now is even worth the sales commission, so I'm going to WAIT AND SEE.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Thank you. I have a copy of a Barclays statement showing 247,000GBP on deposit and I have a copy of an IRS receipt showing 4300GBP has been paid (9/27/13) on the 8500GBP owed on the 47,000GBP interest. All looks legitimate. Would someone go to such trouble to forge these documents for 4200GBP, balance owed?
