Club Men's Rugby Welcomes Team IMPACT Member Luke Giuffrida to Team
Photo Album
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – The Merrimack College club men's rugby team became the latest program on campus to join forces with Team IMPACT after welcoming its newest teammate, Luke Giuffrida, to the squad last week.
The Warriors welcomed Luke and his family to the team last week and over the weekend during the USA Rugby AIG Men's Collegiate All-American Rugby Clinic at Martone-Mejail Field. He had an opportunity to meet all members of the team and its coaching staff, participated in practice and learned more about the great sport of rugby.
Making Luke's first day even more special was his being presented a commemorative team uniform by Ruggers Rugby Supply of Springfield (Mass.).
Luke, a 7-year-old from Methuen, Massachusetts, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis two summers ago, the most common chronic, life threatening lung disease found in children. Since diagnosis, Luke's life has been dominated by treatments. He has been through numerous intense surgeries, including major lung surgery last summer. Luke is stable now, but still takes a lot medication, does chest physical therapy, and completes breathing exercises daily.
Through his camaraderie with the men's rugby team and Team IMPACT, Luke should have plenty of fun-filled months in store for him. The team is gearing up for another great year and will use the motivation provided by Luke to make next season their most successful yet.
About Team
Team IMPACT aims to improve the quality of life for children facing life-threatening and chronic illnesses through the power of team. They do this by matching these courageous kids with local college athletic teams. Team IMPACT children are drafted onto the team and become an official member of the team from Draft Day through to Graduation. The child joins the athletic team and the student athletes join the child's support team. The child gains great strength, camaraderie and support and the student athletes are taught lessons about courage, resiliency and life perspective that they can't learn in a classroom. Through a structured relationship management methodology, we establish and cultivate these relationships to ensure a successful experience for the families and teams involved.

Apple post 'biggest quarterly profit in history'
Apple has reported a quarterly profit of $18 billion in what is believed to be the biggest ever made by a public company.
The technology giant said the sales of 74.5 million iPhones in the quarter ending 27th December, and a 70% rise in China sales had helped exceed expectations.
The profit of $18 billion was the biggest ever reported by a public company, worldwide, according to S&P analyst Howard Silverblatt.
Revenue increased from $57.6 billion in the same period last year to $74.6 billion.

Apple releases iPhone operating system glitch fix
An embarrassed Apple has released a new update that the company says will repair the problems caused by software it released earlier, repeating an apology to owners of its newest iPhones affected by the bug.
The tech giant had scrambled to fix the software glitch that left some of its new iPhones unable to make calls, but some analysts say Apple's response to the high-profile gaffe may be more important than the fault itself.
Hours later Apple released a new update, dubbed iOS 8.0.2, which it said would fix the problems caused by the iOS 8.0.1 update that it released on Wednesday.
Apple: Only nine people complained about bent iPhone
Apple has said that only nine customers have been in touch to complain about a bent iPhone 6.
A spokesman for the IT giant told CNBC that it had selected "high quality materials" and that the new models have been through rigorous tests.

iPhone errors and bending put apologetic Apple in a fix
Apple has apologised for the rotten experience reported by the buyers of its latest iPhone.
Some people who raced to get the iPhone 6 Plus last week have since complained that the smartphone bends out of shape in their pockets.
Widespread user discontent followed about problems with Apple's upgrade to its new iOS 8 operating system, prompting the company to pull a release that had been issued to fix existing errors.
ITV News Consumer Editor Chris Choi reports on a difficult few days for the tech giant.
Apple apologises for iPhone 6 update problems
Computer giant Apple has apologised after an update of i.O.S.8.1 left some iPhone6 users without service and other problems.
They said: "We apologise for the great inconvenience experienced by users, and are working around the clock to prepare iOS 8.0.2 with a fix for the issue, and will release it as soon as it is ready in the next few days."
They added that they had a workaround for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users which enabled them to restore the phone service and Touch ID functionality after updating to iOS 8.0.1.
They said: "Affected users can reinstall iOS 8 through iTunes. For more information visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6487."

Lately, Chrissy has been feeling a lot of pressure from friends and family to pop out a baby but she isn't sure if she's ready to do so yet. She confides in her friend Emily but still doesn't have an answer on as and when exactly she'll be ready.
I really understand where Chrissy is coming from and judge if you must, but I think she's really being smart. Even though today's society appears to not think having a child through, bringing new life into this world is not something to play with. If you aren't 100% sure you are in the right place to be a parent, you definitely shouldn't do it. No matter how young or old you are. Not only that, the other parent has to be ready mentally, emotionally and financially as well.
And I definitely feel her on not focusing on being a wife and mother, but focusing on herself. You HAVE to, because no one will take care of you like you can.
Mama Jones shoots the video for her new fragrance Pum-Kash…and that's all I'm going to say about that. Check out the video above to watch the full episode!

If you're from Taiwan, stepping into a Four Sea Restaurant will make you feel right at home. They have two locations — one in Hacienda Heights and another in San Gabriel. Rumor has it that they're opening another branch in Irvine. Their success isn't unwarranted. They have one of the largest selections of Taiwanese breakfast items in Los Angeles, and the staff is uniformed and polite. Maybe the English-speaking abilities of some of the servers are lacking, but the efficient ordering process at the counter more than makes up for it. Go for the salty soy milk and sticky rice roll. They produce some of the best variations of the rice rolls, or fan tuan, outside of Taiwan. For those unfamiliar with the dish, it's chewy grains of rice wrapped around pieces of twisted cruller and a perfect balance of shredded dried pork and assorted vegetables. 2020 S. Hacienda Blvd., Hacienda Heights. (626) 330-3088; 708 E. Las Tunas Drive, Ste. A, San Gabriel. (626) 285-8369.

In this era of gastropubs and fusion bistros, it comes as a welcome relief to enter a place that still calls itself a "chophouse," as does Suzanne Tracht's 11-year-old West Hollywood restaurant, Jar. The moniker is a signal to other beautifully atavistic traits: a maitre d' in a suit and tie, white tablecloths, an iceberg wedge on the menu, a playlist of Sinatra and Armstrong and Nina Simone — and some of the best steaks in Los Angeles. Not only will your dry-aged Kansas City steak or your filet of beef or your prime rib-eye arrive perfectly cooked and presented, it will be served with a little white ceramic boat of sauce like the perfect accessory (a cufflink, a pocket square). The beef is so tender that it hardly needs the lobster béarnaise in the first place, but you are not here for restraint. (Think to yourself: What would Frank do?) Order a martini or two, then the stellar chocolate pudding for dessert. 8225 Beverly Blvd. (323) 655-6566, thejar.com.

Michael Cimarusti's seafood palace on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood earlier this summer celebrated its seventh birthday, a suitably biblical number for a fish restaurant with an excellent pastry kitchen. In those seven years, Providence has neither plateaued nor reversed direction: It has gotten better, kind of a stunning achievement for a restaurant that was worth 2 Michelin stars back when they gave them out in this town. Cimarusti and his crew manage something rare: a combination of technical mastery and playfulness, and a willingness to change things up instead of resting on their considerable laurels. The menu transforms as frequently as the fish swim in and out of their seasonal waters, the staff forages for local greenery, and the plates emerge from the kitchen like small epiphanies. Maybe you can credit it all to the fact that the chef and the general manager like to go fishing out of San Pedro on their few days off. 5955 Melrose Ave., Hlywd. (323) 460-4170, providencela.com.

Back in 2007, when Judy Ornstein first opened her neighborhood café FOOD, she had a recycling brainstorm: Why not install a plastic, serve-yourself, all-you-can-drink dispenser and fill it with filtered H20, ice cubes and whatever fruity odds and ends she found in the kitchen? Sometimes there are hunks of pineapple sweetly infusing the cold water; other times it's a mind-bendingly thirst-quenching day spa mainstay of cucumber slices and handfuls of fresh mint. Often they go refreshingly tropical with floating orange, lime and lemon slices. Ornstein's light, rejuvenating, bright idea also doubles as an art installation that changes daily: Some have compared the dispenser, sitting in a far corner next to a stack of glasses, to wallpaper in a ladies' restroom circa 1968 or a freeze-frame from a Trix cereal commercial. But we think it recalls a dreamy, zero-gravity fruit salad experiment at NASA — and what's not to like about that? 10571 W. Pico Blvd., W.L.A. (310) 441-7770, food-la.com.

Four dollars for a cup of coffee? Before you spit out your Starbucks, hear us out: There's a revolution going on in the java world that has little to do with the over-barbecued cafe loco you're used to and everything to do with small organic farms in South America that are churning out product with the kind of terroir previously associated only with wine. Now, we're not so sure about hints of chocolate and pomegranate in our perfect, 195-degree cup of Commissary joe, but it is super smooth and low on acid. Props to Intelligentsia Coffee for kickstarting this thing in L.A. But what we like about the 2-year-old Coffee Commissary in West Hollywood is that it's simple, casual and gimmick-free. Nobody's slurping and "cupping" this stuff, and you won't be huffed on if you don't know your Coava from your Victrola. Hot water is swirled over a cone of precious grinds, with the resulting brew transferred to a thick mug. That's it. 801 N. Fairfax Ave., #106, W. Hlywd. (323) 782- 1465, coffeecommissary.com.

On a chic strip of shops near a leafy Sherman Oaks neighborhood filled with film-industry types, Sweet Butter is designed to feel as if you've stumbled into a sidewalk pastry shop in Paris. Fleur de sel caramel brownies, butter-rich croissants, bread pudding with brioche (in coconut-lemon and chocolate versions), cinnamon muffins filled with homemade peach or strawberry jam, plum-lemon bars and savory bacon-cheddar scones are churned out by three in-house pastry chefs. Founder Leslie Danelian, a former food stylist and longtime caterer, keeps the charm factor high but the prices low: Mouth-watering chocolate chip cookies are $2, muffins and scones $2.75. The pastry items rotate, so each day Sweet Butter's glass case is filled with surprises. The French county–style restaurant offers full breakfast and lunch menus, with items such as grilled turkey, fig jam and bleu cheese sandwiches. 13824 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks.

Rain barrels can be constructed in a number of ways, but they all serve the same purpose — to collect rainwater and decrease the amount of stormwater runoff that leaves your property. Using rain barrels is one way to decrease your household's impact on local waterways and to become a good steward of the local watershed.
They irrigate your lawn and garden
During the summer months it is estimated that nearly 40 percent of household water is used for lawn and garden maintenance. A rain barrel collects water and stores it for those times that you need it most — during the dry summer months. Using rain barrels potentially helps homeowners lower water bills, while also improving the vitality of plants, flowers, trees, and lawns.
Use native plants to increase water infiltration and decrease time-consuming maintenance
Rain is naturally soft and devoid of minerals, chlorine, fluoride, and other harmful chemicals. The chemicals and hard water from many of our municipal water systems can add to chemical imbalances in soil and damage sensitive plants.
Water collected from the roofs of houses picks up very little contamination, and is very healthy for plant life.
A wonderful way to complement your rain barrel and increase your property's ability to absorb runoff is through a rain garden.

Smithonia Farm Wedding by Paige Jones
Last week, we shared some of our favorite love stories, and I think we may have to add today's couple to that list! Lindsey and Andrew met in kindergarten, and after 18 years of friendship and dating on and off, Andrew proposed in their hometown. They held a prayerful ceremony under an oak tree, and then celebrated in a reception featuring rustic details lovingly handmade by Lindsey's family, an impressive cupcake display, and even a fun tribute to Lindsey's alma mater, the University of Tennessee.
We're so grateful to Paige Jones for sharing Lindsey and Andrew's wedding with us!
How did y'all meet? Tell us your love story. Most people are shocked when we tell them we met in kindergarten! We had adjoining classrooms, and even at 5 years old, found ourselves in the same group of friends. By sixth grade, we were best friends, bus buddies, and confidants, but we didn't stay just friends for long. In seventh grade, we became "boyfriend and girlfriend," passing daily notes and looked forward to group dates. We continued dating on and off through high school, but eventually broke up for what we thought was "for good." He stayed in Georgia and I headed to the University of Tennessee for college. Before long, I missed my best friend, and we were back together by the middle of freshman year. He proposed on April 6, 2013 in our hometown, 18 years after we first met.
Tell us all about the proposal! My sister and I were supposed to make dinner for my parents, so we walked into Publix, thinking we were getting groceries. When I approached the counter to get fish, I knew something else was going on when the lady handed me a card. It was a clue–the beginning of a scavenger hunt. My sister and I proceeded to go to different places around our hometown, each with another clue. I ended up at a park where Andrew and I had had a picnic the year before. There he was, in the cutest outfit, asking me to be his wife. I was overjoyed, excited, and thankful!
Describe your wedding flowers. When I met with our florist, Brittany Rhodes from Gardenia, I wasn't really sure what to expect. I didn't know much about flowers, so I wasn't sure how I would communicate my vision to her. I described a couple of ideas and colors to her and crossed my fingers. After getting my hair and makeup done, my bridesmaids and I traveled to the venue, and upon arriving, the flowers were the first thing I really noticed. I think I may have squealed a little bit–Brittany had NAILED it. They were clean and fresh, but still colorful. She had filled the bouquets with hydrangeas, succulents, yarrow, dahlias, and all kinds of pure goodness. Seeing those flowers was the moment it hit me, "Oh my gosh, this is my wedding day!"
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: We got married in a huge field with an oak tree, which was exactly what we dreamed of. However, the field was so large that we were worried about the ceremony not being intimate enough. My mom and I came up with a plan for a "shutter wall" and my dad executed it. It was the "door" to the ceremony and I loved it! It was made of old shutters surrounded by flowers, planters, and furniture, and then topped with ladders wrapped in grapevine. It closed out the space wonderfully.
Did you decide to do a "first look"? Why or why not? We decided not to do a first look. We really wanted our first special moment together on our wedding day to be with the people we loved and cared about–the people we had walked through life with. Knowing that I was about to make a sacred covenant, start a new chapter, and go on a new adventure with Andrew, I really wanted that moment to be with my dad to lead me there.
After reviewing traditional vows, we decided we wanted to be the ones who wrote out what we would commit to, and I'm so glad we did. Saying our vows was one of my favorite moments of the day. We didn't read each others' beforehand, so I heard his words and his commitment to me for the very first time as we stood in front of our family and friends. My favorite line he said to me was, "Just as Jesus laid down his life for us, so will I lay down my life in how I love and serve you." I love that our marriage started with the truth of Jesus Christ.
I'm a perfectionist, so getting all the details together, especially since we did a lot of DIY projects, was pretty overwhelming at times. My family was so unbelievable throughout the wedding planning process. My dad and uncle built our shutter wall, the planters, and the centerpieces, my mom made more than 30 tablecloths and runners, and my sister helped with all the tiny details in between. Without them, I definitely couldn't have done it!
Describe your wedding cake or dessert. Ever since I was in middle school, I've loved baking, and anyone who knows me knows that I crave cupcakes weekly. We served cupcakes for dessert, along with three chocolate fountains.
When did y'all get married? October 19, 2013
How many friends, family members, and loved ones attended your wedding? 250
Tell us about finding your wedding dress. I knew I wanted a fitted silhouette and I was pretty sure I wanted lace, but after the fifth and sixth stores, I started to wonder if I would ever find the dress, or if I would be the girl who just settled on something. Thankfully, my mom (who is awesome) encouraged me to keep going and scouted out one more place we could try. Thank goodness she did! The dress was fitted, lace, vintage-inspired, and unique.
What readings, if any, did you have at your ceremony? Our pastor read Psalm 103:1-3 before we opened up the worship music. We loved that he started off that way because Psalm 103 is all about who God is and praising Him, which is what we wanted the foundation of our marriage to stand on. Later, he read 1 Corinthians, where the Bible talks about love which comes from Christ, our perfect example.
Tell us about some of the songs you used throughout your wedding and why you chose them. Choosing the songs was a really important part of the wedding planning process for us. I walked down the aisle to "In Christ Alone." We chose it because we wanted the foundation of our marriage to be on Christ and nothing else. We started off the ceremony with three worship songs that included "10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)" by Matt Redman, "Holy Spirit" by Jesus Culture, and "Oceans" by Hillsong. For our reception, our first dance was to "Forever Like That" by Ben Rector. For the father-daughter dance, my dad and I decided to do a little something different. My dad and I are both University of Tennessee alum and pretty hardcore UT fans. We wanted to shake up the traditional father-daughter dance, so we decided to do a little stepping to the infamous UT fight song "Rocky Top." I think only five people knew beforehand. It was such a rush of adrenaline–Dad pulled out his UT hat, we started country stepping, and everyone went crazy.
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? Meeting up with Andrew for a picture holding hands around the door was one of my favorite memories. I couldn't see him, but as soon as I grabbed his hand, I felt like a giggly little school girl. Walking down the aisle was also a really special moment–I've known Andrew for so long, and it was amazing to think that this moment was going to change everything. I loved dancing to Rocky Top with my dad too!
What advice do you have for folks currently planning a wedding? Surround yourself with good people–you can't plan a wedding alone. The people around you and the vendors you select are what will make your day smooth, unique, and special.
What's next for you as a couple? What are you most looking forward to about married life? We just moved into a townhouse together. Since we did long distance for four years of college, we are both looking forward to day-to-day life together!

And while we're on the topic, check out the Nostalgia Chick's review of Xanadu.
Robot Chicken will do a third – and probably final – Star Wars sketch special. Good news for us.
But I really doubt we'd have ever have seen a entire prequel-themed Robot Chicken special. In any case, I'm not going to complain – whatever strikes their fancy.
IGN has some details on the Robot Chicken Star Wars II DVD. It's slated for a July 21 release with what looks like a nice chunk of extras. (via)
Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II won Annie Awards for Best Animated Television Production, Writing, and Voice Acting for Ahmed Best's Jar-Jar. But perhaps the biggest shock was the total shut-out of WALL-E – it was beat in nearly every category it was nominated for by Kung Fu Panda. Seriously. Kung Fu Panda. The hell?
Other winners include Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Kevin Kiner was up for Music in an Animated Television Production for the 'Rising Malevolence' episode of The Clone Wars, but lost out to Henry Jackman, Hans Zimmer & John Powell for Secrets of the Furious Five, a Kung Fu Panda spinoff.
It's Monday and I got nothing. Granted, I just got here, so don't give up on us yet. But for now, take a look at The Secret Life of Toys. It has stormtroopers, Indiana Jones, and bloodthirsty Muppets. Score!
The entire episode is online at Adultswim.com, with the individual clips at the Robot Chicken mini-site.
Don't forget to rate it on our highly scientific, well-thought out poll.

I was just wondering, is it ok to give my new HTML item as a freebie on my website and then sell its WordPress version here? Does the "exclusive-author" apply to this, when it's the same item, but the HTML would be for free on my site and WP version here?
I think you can do that. HTML templates and Wordpress themes are different item types so my guess is it shouldn't be problem.
One thing you should think of though, is that when you give the HTML version out for free, someone else could take the same HTML version and also turn it into a theme, sinche the HTML was free to use…
I think also, but I'd ask support to clarify this case. As far as I know there's no problem with giving PSD template for free in own site and selling same template as HTML / WordPress theme here.

Drain connection for basement utility sink
I would like to install a utility sink in my basement, but wanted to get some opinions about drain connections.
I have 4" cast-iron going out through my basement wall to the city sewer. The cast-iron runs horizontally for a while, then connects to a wye with a 45 going to a vertical stack that goes all the way up the house and through the roof. The other connector on the wye is capped with a cleanout plug. The distance from the floor to the center of the cleanout plug is 24".
I was hoping that I would be able to remove the cleanout, connect a PVC pipe (3" or 4"?), connect to a wye with a 2" or 1.5" and cap the other end of the wye with a new cleanout.
First question, is 24" too high off the ground for a utility sink p-trap to be connect for a gravity drain? I know I can mount the utility sink on blocks to get it raised up, but how high would I need to raise it? Should I consider using a pump instead?
Second question, how do connect the PVC to the cast-iron wye? The cleanout looks like it's screwed on to a pipe that has been fitted into the bell of the wye. If I wanted to use a 4" donut, I would imagine I would have to remove all of the oakum and lead from the bell of the wye. Could I use a donut on the pipe that cleanout is threaded on to?
Most tub stubs rough in at 15" off floor, thats 9" too high at the 24" you have, you can raise it 9" if you like, or go with a pump, raising will cost less.
To connect pvc to existing cast pipe, is there a plug on the end of the clean out?
Ron, thanks for the reply. Would raising the sink 9" make it awkward to use? What about the stability of the sink sittiing on 9" of blocks?
Yes, the clean out has a metal plug. It looks like it hasn't been opened in a while. Last month, I had a clog in my main sewer line, and the drain cleaning company wasn't able to unscrew the same kind of plug further down my line. They had to break it up with a chisel. I wonder if I will need to do something similar to remove the plug.
Anyways, if I have to use a pump, then I will probably tie the drain to an existing PVC pipe that is already coming out of the main stack about 6' off the ground instead of trying to remove the plug.
You could get a wall mount style laundry sink, height might be bothersome, if you you can get the pug out, use a threaded male adaptor in it for the connection.
If you use a pump then you can tie in where you want to.
Thanks again Ron. What kind of adapter would I need? Does the adapter have plastic male threads with a standard connector on the other end to glue in pvc? Is it ok to connect plastic and metal with threads for DWV?
Yes use a male adaptor, male thread on one side hub side to glue pipe into. Use pipe dope to seal threads.

Factors Behind Toothaches
Factors Behind Toothaches
As it pertains to toothaches, there are lots of different things that may result in a toothache. A toothache will come at any given time, even when you may well not expect it. To learn more, please check-out: per your request. The pain can be unbearable sometimes, and youll do virtually whatever you can to help make the pain stop. A lot of us start to wonder what caused it to happen, whenever a toothache first comes on.
A few of the main reasons for toothaches include cavities, a fracture in one's teeth, and decay. A crack in the tooth is also a reason, although it may be difficult to detect, as cracks will usually appear to be invisible to the naked eye and x-rays. Cracks can it is exploding, because they expose the dentin and nerves to the air and other things you put in your mouth make your tooth feel. If you dont buy them fixed, they'll get worse, possibly leading to your tooth breaking off at the gums.
Pulp discomfort is still another reason for toothaches, since it occurs after dental treatment. Regardless of how well your filling or crown was done, the products that were used to fix the tooth may end up creating pain afterwards in the future. There really is nothing you can do, as crowns can sometimes come off or the filling can sometimes come out. In such a circumstance, all you really can do is return to the dentist to have the problem set.
When you yourself have an root or nerve, it may also be the reason for your toothache. This typically happens due to hard cleaning, diminishing the gums and exposing the basis. Visit sponsors to learn the inner workings of this view. The air or fluid you drink can induce a toothache, if the main is exposed. Use care when you brush and never attempt to split your gums apart thinking it will get your teeth cleaner, to avoid this from occurring.
If tobacco products are used by you, youll more than likely get toothaches on a frequent basis. Chewing tobacco is a standard contributor to toothaches and tooth pain, until there is nothing left because the tobacco will eat away at your teeth. It doesnt simply take long for it to occur both, particularly if you have been eating for a long time. Smoking may induce toothaches as well, as the smoke is bad for your teeth and eats away at them as well.
Even though there are several causes to toothaches, there are things you can certainly do to stop and pain and reduce toothaches. You ought to head to the dentist for your regular checkups, and always brush your teeth on a daily basis. If you get a toothache you should visit the dentist and get the tooth set. The dentist might be able to get it early enough to save the tooth - which will prevent you from needing to get it drawn and save you a lot of money - and pain in the long run. This poetic click here for site has various powerful lessons for the reason for it.

Samira Ibrahim is one of 18 girls that came forward saying they were violated by the military [Al Jazeera]
A military doctor in Egypt accused of forcing some woman protesters to undergo virginity tests has been found "not guilty" by a military court.
Ahmed Adel was cleared because the judge found contradictions in witness statements.
The case was brought by one of the women, Samira Ibrahim, who said the "tests" took place after they had been detained during protests last year.
As many as 18 came forward saying they were violated last year during the revolution.
The women were arrested when the army cleared Cairo's Tahrir Square after the fall of Hosni Mubarak in March last year.
The ruling comes "from what has been proven in documents and based on my conscience," the judge said according to the MENA news agency, adding that he had "not been subjected to any pressures."
Adel was accused of "public indecency" and "disobeying military orders", after the initial charge of rape had been dropped.
'Woman's rights not important'
Al Jazeera's Rawya Rageh reporting from outside the court in Cairo, said "It was chaotic in the court-room after the verdict was announced, outside the court-room people were chanting against the military rule."
"This verdict will not go down well with the public", said our reporter.
Getting the case into court was considered a victory for the female protesters who were subjected to the tests and had raised hopes of further trials of those accused of abuse.
Sunday's ruling could also have implications for other cases filed by women against the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which took power when Mubarak was ousted, for violence against them.
"These test had amounted to torture and verdict has sent a wrong message," Hassiba Hadj Sah-raoui, Deputy Middle East and North Africa Director at Amnesty International, the UK-based human-rights organisation, told Al Jazeera.
"It shows that women's rights are not important in Egypt."
Human-rights organisations had said there had been many other such tests by the military.
In December, a video of military police dragging a woman along the ground with troops surrounding her and kicking her on the chest, as well as an another video showing military personnel beating a female protester sparked further outrage.
In December an Egyptian court ordered a halt to forced virginity tests on female detainees in military prisons.

SYDNEY – Mating is such an arduous and frenzied process for some male marsupials that it kills them, according to new Australian-led research.
Scientists had wondered for decades why some species of insect-eating marsupials dropped dead after sex, with speculation including that they died from fighting or to leave more food for their offspring.
But research published in the U.S.-based Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences puts the "dying off" down to the animals' extreme efforts to ensure their sperm is successful in the short once-a-year window that females offer to mate.
"There's always a cost to reproducing — it's an energy-expensive thing that animals do," lead researcher and mammal ecologist Diana Fisher, from the University of Queensland, explained Tuesday. "But in this case, they haven't spread out their effort over time. They do it all at once in a really short time. And they just die afterward."
Organisms that mate once and then die are common among plants and some fish, but rarer among mammals. Among the exceptions are some species of small marsupials including the mouselike antechinus and the phascogales, which is more like an opossum.
Fisher said the male marsupials that die are so intent on mating that their high testosterone levels trigger a cascade effect of stress hormones, causing the animals' body tissue to break down and their immune systems to collapse. The study compared 52 species of marsupials in Australia, Papua New Guinea and South America, not all of which self-destructed after sex.

Tracy McGrady, who signed a one-year deal with the CBA's Qingdao Golden Eagles this offseason, made his exhibition debut today against a team comprised of players from the NBL (National Basketball League, Australia) and the NCAA. McGrady scored 17 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and dished 6 assists in 29 minutes, according to Sina Sports. Qingdao won the game 93-83, and McGrady highlighted his performance with a baseline drive and one-handed slam… After the game, McGrady said something to this affect (imperfect translation from the aforementioned Chinese site Sina Sports): "[I'm jumping] very good, [and] such a slam dunk proves the results of my efforts to train, and also to respond to a lot of people [who] questioned me before, so [to dunk], the feeling is very good! … there will be more dunks!" Like I said, imperfect translation… but it certainly seems as though McGrady intends to dunk his critics to death. I must say, that's my kind of method!

EdSource December Article 2013
The Common Core Standards could help our students on international test
The Common Core standards, which 45 states and Washington, D.C., have adopted, could be the cure to United States' mediocre math scores on PISA.
At least that's a conclusion in an assessment of the latest American scores on the international test of 15-year-olds in 65 nations, whose results were released this week. The 10-page analysis was prepared by the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development; its education administrator, Andreas Schleicher is a big fan of the Common Core.
"The analysis suggests that a successful implementation of the Common Core standards would yield significant performance gains also in PISA," concluded the report.
That's because the standards address the key weaknesses that the 2012 assessment of just over 6,000 students in 161 randomly selected schools across America revealed.
The biggest weakness reflects the failure, under most state standards, to require higher-order activities, particularly mathematical modeling, which the report defines as "understanding real world situations, translating them into mathematical models, and interpreting mathematical results." U.S. students also have trouble with geometric reasoning.
What they're especially good at, the report said with a back-handed compliment, is "cognitively less-demanding mathematical skills and abilities," such as calculating simple values from diagrams or using well-structured formulae.
In the 2012 math portion of PISA, the Programme for International Student Assessment, U.S. students scored below average compared with the 34 OECD nations. Though it ranked 26th, it could be between 23rd and 29th because of measurement errors. The U.S. was comparable to Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Portugal, Russia, the Slovak Republic, Spain and Sweden.
Over a quarter of U.S. students fell below the level of skill that would "enable them to participate effectively and productively in life," the report said. At the other end, only 9 percent were more advanced – Level 5 and 6 proficiency under the test. That compared with 17 percent in Germany, 24 percent in Japan and more than 30 percent in several East Asian nations.

Do you like Master of Seduction ?
Join aNobii to see if your friends read it, and discover similar books!
With the success of Kinley MacGregor's latest New York Times Expanded and USA Today bestseller
A Dark Champion, we are in the perfect position to republish her backlist gem Master of Seduction.
All lovely Lorelei Dupree had in mind was helping her fiance and the city of Charlseton by setting a trap for the infamous pirate Black Jack Rhys. She certainly never intended to let him kidnap her. And she most definitely had no intention of losing her heart to a man so skilled in the arts of love that they called him the master of seduction.
Black Jack Rhys had a score to settle with an old enemy. Kidnapping his adversary's fiance seemed like the perfect answer. But the man who'd won the hearts of a thousand women hadn't counted on falling in love himself....
I love Kinley MacGregor. Her books are so easy to read and never fail to satisfy. She should be locked in a room and made to write 24 hours a day so I never run out of her books. ;-)

A good chunk of American soccer fans will be watching the conference finals in the MLS playoffs this weekend, but those matches are not the only ones worth viewing.
This weekend provides another lengthy list of intriguing games, including the Rome derby between Lazio and Roma on Sunday. Michael Bradley should start in the match, and he will likely have to make an impact for Roma to be victorious.
Barcelona will also be in action on Sunday, as they travel to take on Mallorca. Barcelona will be champing at the bit to make up for their UEFA Champions League loss to Celtic earlier in the week, so expect them to come out flying in what should be an entertaining game to watch.
Then, there's the first legs of the MLS conference finals. The Houston Dynamo will host D.C. United at BBVA Compass Stadium on Sunday afternoon and that will be followed up by the Los Angeles Galaxy's home game at the Home Depot Center against the Seattle Sounders on Sunday night.

rumors are out that Everton might be bringing in a new GK to compete with Howard as no.1?
How is one of the cheapest clubs in the Prem going to do better than Howard. They are already punching above their weight with Tim Howard as a starter. Crazytalk. Tim is one of the top 5 keepers in the prem, don't think they can do much better
no one is watching these MLS playoffs. It's time for the league to reconsider how they decide the league champ.
I think you are wrong. I know I am certainly watching the MLS playoffs. And they have been rather compelling this season!
Lol baseball playoff ratings were down to but I doubt they change their system. Look its football season and as much as people arent going to like this the Epl would get crushed in the same position. Because its still soccer its still really far down the pole when compared to even Nascar. Look just enjoy it and stop worring about ratings years of people loving other sports isn't going to change over night. Patience grasshopper lol it will get better.
Wrong, and I'll take the run to make the playoffs over relegation anyday. These post season games have been great so far. The system could still be tweaked a little but the home and away series have proved who was worthy of the semis….the supporters shield was won fair and square, so they get all the perks the winner of the cup earns.
i would prefer a champ determined another way but to say nobody is watching them is simply not true. i watched part of every game the last two days and most american soccer fans have watched them at some point
I did not take much time to watch all the MLS games available on television this season (which isn't much considering how basic my cable subscription is). However, I have gone out of my way to be able to watch the playoff games now that they have started. If your comment is in relation to the number of fans showing up for games (some of the stadiums have looked sparse) then you may have an argument.
you are taking me literally when I say no one. Clearly some people are watching. However, the American soccer fan in mass is not.
I'm a bartender at a pub and we have a lot of American soccer fans as clientele. They come in to watch the champions league and some Europe matches.They come in to watch the USMNT. But they won't watch MLS. I try to always have MLS on one of the TV's. No one is interested. Even for these playoff games.
Their is a lot of empty seats for these games and if the TV ratings continue to be very poor i think MLS needs to change. More and more American fans are being cultured into the sport through the EPL where the regular season crowns a champion. MLS needs to do this too.
I think once the league goes to 20 teams a single table with a league champion will get people interested in following the league.
They can have an MLS Cup for a post-season tournament as well. I'm not saying get rid of it. I'm saying make the regular season something fun to follow.
Where do you live? I don't have a hard time accepting what you say if you are nowhere near an MLS team (at least a good one).
i'm in Los Angeles. Fifteen minutes from where the LA Galaxy play.
I think he meant to say "you guys are taking me seriously…"
Seattle is just deciding how many will be at next weeks game a lot or a hellova lot.
people will show up for seattle regardless.
i'm talking about national interest in the league and TV ratings.
Sunday it is. Start your morning w Deuce, keep it on FSC for Liverpool v Chelsea (where ya at Mig?) and the chaser with DCU v Houston. Go Red Dragons! VAMOS United!
I don't know how anyone can watch these games and not think the playoffs are awesome. Every game has been so compelling. So much drama. Imagine if it was all over the day San Jose clinched the shield. We wouldn't have any of this. Our system makes for fantastic entertainment and boosts the economy by forcing people like me to make late night runs to Walgreens for large bottles of Tums.
The last minute goals have been incredibly great and gut wrenching bad depending who you are rooting for.
Just ignore the guys trying to get rid of the playoffs. They ignore the facts and try to pretend noone cares or that they have not been very fun.
The playoffs will be expanded not contracted…too much money being made not to do so.
I've become a much bigger fan of the playoffs as they've fine tuned the format. Giving homefield advantage and eliminating neutral sites was key. I think it's interesting having the Shield awarded to the most consistent team over the year… as well, great having a playoff tourney to watch the intensity ramp up as it goes along. I can appreciate the merits of an intense sprint race as well as a war of attrition marathon. Why? In the end- I simply enjoy watching soccer…. I love the game, not how it is packaged.

Lambda Legal Appeals HMO Decision To Deny a Kidney Transplant to a Colorado Man Because He Has HIV
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(Denver, Monday, Sept. 22, 2003) - Saying that one of the nation's largest HMOs may cost a Denver man his life by refusing to cover a kidney transplant because he has HIV, Lambda Legal today filed a formal appeal with Kaiser Permanente and asked the HMO to reverse its denial in light of a range of scientific data and the man's personal health history and experience.
"To deny our client the care he needs, Kaiser is ignoring published reports on organ transplants for HIV and not looking at its patient's individual health status," said Hayley Gorenberg, AIDS Project Director at Lambda Legal. "In the last seven years since the advent of better treatments for people with HIV, the medical community nationwide has learned a great deal about organ transplants. Kaiser's decision denying this man's transplant is not based on good medicine or sound science, and it may cost him his life."
John Carl, a 53-year-old resident of the Denver area, began experiencing kidney failure in the fall of 2001 and receives dialysis three times per week. This summer, he requested coverage for a kidney transplant, but Kaiser denied his request in late July, saying, "[k]idney transplantation for HIV-positive patients is contraindicated … due to its experimental status and non-favorable outcomes."
In today's appeal, Lambda Legal said Kaiser's justification is simply untrue. "It's flat-out wrong that kidney transplants for people with HIV are experimental and have unfavorable outcomes," Gorenberg said. "There's a solid and growing body of scientific and medical evidence that clearly shows HIV does not significantly affect the outcome of kidney transplantation."
Lambda Legal also said in the appeal letter that it's "particularly troubling" that Kaiser's Colorado office rejected Carl's transplant request because Kaiser's Southern California office evidently is willing to cover transplants for people with HIV. "We hope that Kaiser's Colorado region will reach the same well-founded and medically supported conclusion as the committee in California," Lambda Legal said in the appeal.
Lambda Legal cited many examples of this data in its appeal letter today, including a 2002 New England Journal of Medicine article on the subject that found "no evidence of poorer survival among otherwise healthy HIV-positive patients who are receiving anti-retroviral therapy," which Gorenberg said is precisely Carl's situation. The article went on to say that "transplantation in HIV-positive patients should … not be considered experimental," and it further supported reimbursement for the patients.
Carl is in a program called M+C, or Medicare plus Choice, in which Medicare pays his enrollment in Kaiser Permanente HMO. Part of the arrangement requires Kaiser to follow Medicare guidelines for coverage. Under Medicare guidelines, Kaiser must cover the costs of any treatment that is "reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member."
"When you put together all of the medical research, this patient's health status, and the federal Medicare guidelines Kaiser is required to follow, there's no question that this transplant should be granted as quickly as possible," Gorenberg said. Underscoring the importance of Kaiser's decision, Lambda Legal's appeal letter today said, "Continued delays that may result from Kaiser's denial of coverage for a transplant may cost Mr. Carl his life." Carl has already been accepted by the United Network for Organ Sharing's national list, waiting for a suitable kidney. In 1992 the United Network for Organ Sharing, a national clearinghouse for patients waiting for organs and organs available for transplantation, issued a statement on patients with HIV, which said, "[a] potential candidate for organ transplantation whose test for HIV-Ab is positive but who is in an asymptomatic state should not necessarily be excluded from candidacy for organ transplantation."
Carl, who has had HIV for 15 years, has an undetectable viral load and has not recently suffered any opportunistic infections. "I've been surviving well with HIV for a long time, but if I can't get coverage for a kidney transplant, that may not matter," Carl said. "I'm fighting for my life and for my quality of life - and hopefully so that other people in similar situations won't have to face this."
According to Lambda Legal, people with HIV are still sometimes blocked from being considered for transplants, even though medical and scientific evidence makes it clear that they should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis like any other transplant candidates.
Hayley Gorenberg, Director of Lambda's AIDS Project is handling the case. She is joined by Eric Maxfield with The Legal Center for People with Disabilities and Older People based in Denver.

Young guns are building interest: Golf Channel chief
By Larry Fine
(Reuters) - A changing of the guard in professional golf is in full swing and early returns show that the sport's young guns are drawing viewers even as Tiger Woods fades from the spotlight, says Golf Channel president Mike McCarley.
"2015 is going to match the highest-rated year ever on Golf Channel, matching 2013, the year in which Tiger won five times," McCarley told Reuters in an interview.
That was 20-year-old Golf Channel's previous high-water mark in terms of television ratings and the last splash from Woods, who won five of 16 tournaments he played in 2013 and was named PGA Tour Player of the Year for a remarkable 11th time.
Since then, back injuries have derailed the nearly 40-year-old Woods, but the rise of Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and Rickie Fowler to join 26-year-old Rory McIlroy in golf's elite has captured the attention of golf viewers.
"Looking back, 2015 may have been the changing of the guard," said McCarley, whose channel is available to some 80 million households in the United States and whose programming reaches more than 80 countries worldwide in 12 languages.
The next era for golf is likely to contrast with the reign of Woods, who dominated the game and carried fan interest on his shoulders, and McCarley sensed that a new age of rivalries was looming.
"These are young players who are going to be around for 20 years and it will take some time for them to build their fan bases," he said. "We're on the very leading edge of this trip, but we're seeing the momentum build significantly."
Spieth got the 2015 major championship season off to a flying start with his decisive win at the Masters, and followed that with victory at the U.S. Open two months later. Continued...

Hey, we just got a paw mail from another pup pal, and they asked Dotty to model for their company! We still haven't heard back, and there's always the chance of not getting in. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that they will accept her, and that if they do, it will be alright.
I fixed the photo thing, or it fixed itself. Whatever it was, it worked!
Hey! I added another really good picture of Dotty, but it doesn't show up on her page! Also, I added Abby Abecrombie and Lovebug to catster, but they don't show under the section "See her family"! Has this happened to anyone else?

Borderlands - Joins the DLC Bandwagon
View Single Post
October 18th, 2009, 23:51
Its all about money. It always is.
Games are bigger than movies now - and the big corps. have stumbled on a way to maximise profits:
1. Digital Distribution - far lower costs due to no physical delivery
2. DLC - costs above the initial outlay once you buy into the "brand". Like buying a Mach 5 razor and having to buy he refills to got your "great" shave.
Its like SaaS (Software as a Service) with things like Google Apps. there are many, many advantages for the user when using a Cloud application, but also much higher profit for the corp. due to lower overheads. Now everyone wants a bit of the pie.
WoW is a great example of obscene profits that can be made from a cloud service.
Its the way things are going to go for sure.

Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change(MDC) has decided not to return to Zmbabwe to contest the run-off election against President Mugabe due to reports of an assasssinatin plot against his life. His spokesperson, George Sibotshiwe, said' "We have received information from a credible source concerning a planned assassination attempt." On Friday, US Ambassador James McGee told the BBC he had evidence that the police and military had been involved in "pure unadulterated violence designed to intimidate people from voting" in the election which is now scheduled for late June. Opposition leaders and human rights activists have seen hundreds of people beaten.
Last year, Mr. Tsvangirai was arrested and tortured by the police which required him to receive hospital attention. Ambassador McGee told reporters "too many people have been killed, too many people have been mainmed, too many people have been dislocated from their homes." Too many nations have stood by idly while Mugabe carries out his policies that oppress his own people. Where are the leaders of Africa?

Book of Genesis
Envisioning the first book of the Bible like no one before him, the legendary illustrator R. Crumb reveals here the story of Genesis in a profoundly honest and deeply moving way. "It's a cartoonist's equivalent of the Sistine Chapel. It's awesome. Crumb has done a real artist's turn here--he's challenged himself and defied all expectation. . . . I've read Genesis before, but never have I found it so compelling. by placing it squarely in the Middle East--and populating it with distinctively Semitic-looking people--Crumb makes it come alive brilliantly." - Susan Jane Gillman, NPR.

Crayola Color Switchers™ Markers are perfect to create the woven designs and exquisite motifs found on traditional Indian saris.
Although worn by women of other countries, the sari is associated with the dress of India. A sari is a length of unsown, woven cloth (13 to 26 in by 4 ft or 4 to 8 m by 120 cm). With more than 100 different languages spoken in India and nearly the same number of distinct ethnic groups, there are many different styles for wearing a sari. The look of the sari also depends upon the wearer's age, marital status, and class. Some saris are made of silk and others are of cotton.
The rich and elaborate patterns of the fabric's weave are exquisite. Often, designs along the edges of the cloth are intended to show beautifully when the sari is draped. Study pictures of women in saris to see how their clothing is worn. Most of the fabric is pleated at the waist, and then wound around to form a skirt or trousers. The rest of the cloth is draped across the upper body, covering at least one shoulder and at times, the head.

Rumours about Savile "It was common gossip that Jimmy Savile liked, you know, young – it was always assumed to be – girls. I had no evidence. But it was common gossip."
Why Newsnight was wrong not to run its Savile investigation in late 2011 "These people [paedophiles] prey upon children in vulnerable situations and when the children complain they are not believed. I thought that we [Newsnight] had behaved just like many other authorities and I didn't like it."
When Newsnight producer Meirion Jones told him he was investigating Savile "I probably said something like, 'Oh well, I don't think I need to ask you any further what that's about.'"
The BBC's promotion of Savile "What was the BBC doing promoting this absurd figure, this absurd and malign figure? They have never felt comfortable with popular culture and they have therefore given those who claim to perpetrate it too much licence … that is the bigger challenge the organisation faces."
Newsnight's failure, again, to run the Savile story when it became clear ITV was about to broadcast its own documentary "We wouldn't even tackle a bloody story that was about our own programme. This is pathetic."
Why he did not watch the ITV documentary about Savile "Why should I have done? It is sleazy, sleazy behaviour in a world I dislike."
Newsnight's award of Royal Television Society news programme of the year "Oh, come on! You of all people [ex-head of Sky News Nick Pollard] know how those things are worked out. It was a really unhelpful thing to have happened to the programme, to be able to boast, even if it is a rather pointless sort of award. To have been given such a gong was not really terribly helpful, nor did it seem to be based upon any particularly informed judgment."
The BBC's handling of questions about why Newsnight dropped the Savile report "A balls-up."
Newsnight editor Peter Rippon's decision to drop the Savile report (in an email to Rippon) "[It] must have been a corporate decision, whatever your blog says [Rippon had written a blog explaining the decision]."
Rippon's response "He said, 'I am sorry, I just can't do this.' 'Can't' was a very, very unusual word to use, and I didn't say, 'What do you mean, 'can't'? Someone has told you that you can't, or you physically can't face it? Now I think my suspicion is that there may well have been an element of both."
Rippon's treatment by the BBC "He was being used as the fall guy … I profoundly disagree with the BBC's refusal to engage with it and to justify or attempt to justify its position." In an email to Rippon he said the BBC's behaviour was "contemptible".
Whether the decision to drop the Savile report was a corporate one "It is my belief, but I have no evidence … They [management] seemed to spend an awful lot of time having meetings with one another. I don't quite understand why a subject like this wouldn't have invited some sort of discussion, but I don't know."
The BBC's news division "[It has been] taken over by radio … Helen Boaden, a radio person. Steve Mitchell, a radio person. Peter Rippon was a radio person. These people belong to a different kind of culture … Post-Hutton, there has been a general drawing in of horns, a cultural change."
Newsnight's budget "Resources are extremely stretched and that doesn't make it a satisfactory environment in which people are making difficult editorial judgments in the long term."
The BBC's PR machine "The BBC press operation is so terrible because there is a real problem in finding spokesmen who will defend an articulate point of view … It is a wonderful, wonderful organisation if you treat it is a publisher. Much of the rest of it, I can … I can take or leave."
