Secrets to a six-pack abs like a star
You don't have to live in Hollywood to look like you're ready to step out of a summer blockbuster flick. (You don't need to do tons of situps either.) But if you really want to look like the girl on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue or get abs like that guy in "Twilight," you do have to stick to a lean diet, practice strength workouts that challenge multiple muscle groups, and mix in a little cardio. We spoke with trainers who work with stars to get the scoop on how to score a swoon-worthy six-pack.
Jennifer Garner
To keep Garner's abs in top form, she does moves like the "painful push away," says her trainer Valerie Waters. Start in pushup position with ValSlides under both hands, then slide both hands in front of you without breaking form until you start to shake. As soon as you feel a shake, walk your toes in. Repeat. Depending on your level of ability, you'll be able to slide out anywhere from 2 to 5 inches.
50 Cent
If you want cut abs like Fiddy, focus on working your legs and the area below the navel. Jay Cardiello, the rapper's live-in trainer of four years, uses box jumps, squat jumps and burpees to help 50 Cent fire up fat burning and target his lower abs.
Carrie Underwood
Swing your way into a solid core like Carrie Underwood did. The country star has been spotted taking Paul Katami's kettlebell classes at Equinox's West Hollywood location. "The great thing about kettlebells is that you get a full-body workout and all the moves incorporate your core in a major way," says Katami. One of his favorite moves: the rotating squat. Hold a 5- to 10-pound kettlebell in your right hand, and lift it overhead. Keeping your right arm extended, lower into a squat to reach your left hand to the floor while looking up toward the kettlebell. Return to standing.
Lady Gaga
Underneath her kooky outfits, Lady Gaga rocks an enviable six-pack that she shows off on occasion. To get a flat and toned stomach like hers, you need to mix a variety of core exercises into your routine. "First and foremost you have to train your abs on all three planes," says Gaga's trainer Harley Pasternak. "You have to train them forward and back with something like a crunch or double crunch. You have to train your abs laterally to hit the obliques with something like a dumbbell side bend. And you have to train your abs on a rotational plane – your transverse abs – and you can do that from a seated trunk twist."
Ryan Reynolds
Get one good look at Ryan Reynolds's buzzed-about six-pack and it's no wonder he was named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" in 2010. To gear up for his role in "Green Lantern," he trained six days a week for 90 minutes a day while shooting on location in New Orleans. "Ryan would spend the first 20 to 30 minutes of every workout working his abs to warm up his core," says trainer Bobby Strom, who recommends chiseling your middle with the medicine ball chop (5 sets, 15 to 20 reps). Strom's twist: Keep both heels on the ground and don't pivot your foot when raising the medicine ball overhead or lowering to the side – your obliques will have to work harder.

If you don't know it already - Sophie Kinsella is my favorite author.
I have only talked about her 3890289389 times on my blog. She writes upbeat, hilarious women's fiction and you SHOULD, MUST, HAVE TO check out her books if you like that genre.
So for this week's Feature Follow Friday, I'm writing a letter to her. Let's hope I'm not being too weird.
Nobody tweet this to her please this has to stay my dirty little secret
Dear Sophie,
your novels are a guarantee to get me out of ANY review slump. Nobody writes dorky heroines as funny as you do, nothing makes me smile the way your writing does and I'd like to thank you for that.
THANK YOU for:
- being the ONLY author who always managed to make me forget whatever hard times I'm going through
- making me feel not as clumsy as I actually am, because your heroines are often actually doing worse
- making me laugh in public transport until people start looking at me like I'm crazy
- instantly giving me a conversation starter - I've actually made good friends by asking them whether they've read a book of yours
I wasn't really much of an avid reader
(get it, my blog's name is The Bookavid, ha) before I read Remember Me, and this book basically changed my life. I obsessively went through a bunch of similar books after I read it but never found someone who could make me laugh quite the way you do. Your books are always guaranteed to make me smile, just seeing them on my shelf makes me happy.
Thanks a thousand times, honestly I wouldn't know if I'd even be here, reviewing books, if it weren't for you and your fabulous sense of humor.
Can't wait what you're coming up with in the future!!! I'll be there for sure to cheer on your newest book!!
To many more hilarious books,
absolutely not weird fan Jen

Twitter has announced a new tool that lets users download, save, and search through every tweet they've uttered since the day they joined Twitter. This is a big deal. Historically, the microblogging site has been stingy with its tweet records.
PeopleBrowsr came close to creating a full archive in May 2012, when the social analytics company released an API that could surface Twitter records going all the way back to 2008. Intended for business use, the suite of tools pulled data from the Firehose, which contains tweets from all users.
When Twitter CEO Dick Costolo said in a presentation at the University of Michigan in November that the company would have downloadable records by the end of the year, people didn't believe it.
But he's made good on his promise. The engineering team built the technology during one of its quarterly Hack Weeks and is slowly making it available to everyone, starting with English-speaking users.
That's a lot of characters — Twitter reports that its users spew forth one billion tweets every two-and-a-half days.
Explained Twitter's Mollie Vandor in a blog post:
Today, we're introducing the ability to download your Twitter archive, so you'll get all your Tweets (including Retweets) going back to the beginning. Once you have your Twitter archive, you can view your Tweets by month, or search your archive to find Tweets with certain words, phrases, hashtags or @usernames. You can even engage with your old Tweets just as you would with current ones.
Twitter's archives go back "to the beginning" — which would be 2006 — and they're aimed at the average user, one account at a time. (But that's not to say that they couldn't offer these insights to businesses as well.)
Readers: You'll find the archives tool in your account settings. Not everyone has it just yet.

Medical school chair planting new roots in SC
By Jeff Stensland, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3686
Although he typically wears a shirt and tie, Dr. E.J. Mayeaux, Jr., will always consider himself a "country boy" at heart.
A lifelong Louisianan and Eagle Scout, Mayeaux (pronounced "my you") says when he's not seeing patients or teaching he'd prefer to be riding one of his horses through the woods. "I spent many summers on my uncle's farm and once I started working with horses I never looked back," says Mayeaux, who currently owns two walking horses and an Arabian.
Mayeaux was recently named the new chairman of Department of Family and Preventive Medicine at USC's School of Medicine. With his move to Columbia, Mayeaux leaves behind a 100-acre farm in Shreveport, La ., where he took care of the horses and tended to the land with his wife, Michelle.
Michelle and the horses will be joining him at a home in Northeast Columbia soon, but he did have to say goodbye to a large extended family and a vast network of friends, colleagues and patients. Mayeaux is a true Cajun. His roots in the Bayou State go back many generations and can be traced to the migration of French Acadians from Nova Scotia in the late 1700s.
"It's a tough thing to leave when you have roots that deep. The Acadian culture is a lot like stereotypical Italians--we like to talk with our hands, we love life and we really, really care about our families," he says.
Mayeaux spent the last 23 years of his career at Louisiana State University's Medical Center and says the decision to move to South Carolina was difficult. It was the people he met at USC while scouting out the university that made all the difference.
"When you want to lead a team, you want a team of capable, competent people. But also people of good character and will. When I looked around, I saw that the people here were amazing," he says.
Mayeaux's clinical expertise includes women's health topics such as cervical disease, HPV disease, HPV vaccination and skin diseases. He's also interested in patient literacy as it relates to pediatrics, family practice and internal medicine as it the author of several medical books. He will begin serving as president of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology in 2014.
In addition to his interest in horses, Mayeuax is a ropes course devotee who volunteers with the Boy Scouts, the YMCA and other groups in leadership training exercises. He says lessons learned on the course are transferrable to teaching the next generation of primary care physicians.
In an era of poor health outcomes and increasingly expensive specialty care, Mayeaux says USC's commitment to quality primary care inside and outside the classroom is important. Strengthening the bonds between patients and trusted family physicians, much like the country doctors of old, is essential to improving health in America, he says.
"What we do in primary care is so critical to the health of our individual patients, but also to our country and our health care system. When you have a group of people like we have here at USC, these folks can change individual communities and the world," he says. "Before I left Louisiana, I was taking care of children of patients who I delivered. I would go to their reunions and was a part of their lives. That's the sort of legacy you leave with families."

Thomas Bent
American Revolutionary War Soldier. He was mortally wounded during the British retreat from Concord on the first day of the American Revolution, one of fifty Americans either killed or mortally wounded on that day. He died of his wounds over three months after the fighting of April 19, 1775, at the age of sixty-nine.
"It is said that upon receipt of the news of the Concord fight he started on horseback for the scene of action, where he received a bullet wound in one of his legs, from the effect of which he soon afterward died. After being wounded, he started back for Sudbury, and while on the road met one of his boys, who, like his three brothers, was hurrying to the front. Instead of asking his son to return, he urged him forward and the boy obeyed. The inventory of his estate includes land in Chesterfield and Holden, several head of horned cattle, twenty sheep and twelve swine. He evidentally had a good apple orchard, for forty-three barrels of cider were found.
His wife died the same day as her husband, and they were buried beside the remains of his father in the old burial gound in what is now Wayland.
"And now their names, with moss o`ergrown,
Are vieled from sight on the churchyeard stone
That leans away, in a lingering fall,
Amd owns the power that shall level all
The works that the hand of man hath wrought."
Children all born in the old part of Sudbury now Wayland:

Discrimination in Employment
The Human Rights Division is responsible for processing charges of employment discrimination under federal statutes and the North Dakota Human Rights Act (N.D.C.C. Chapter 14-02.4).
In October of 1987, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) designated the North Dakota Department of Labor and Human Rights as a Fair Employment Practices Agency (FEPA). A work-sharing agreement is signed annually by the North Dakota Department of Labor and Human Rights and the EEOC through its Chicago District Office. Under the work-sharing agreement, cases filed with either agency, which meet applicable jurisdictional requirements, are filed under both state and federal laws, and a single investigation is conducted by the Human Rights Division. The federal statutes include Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended; and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended; and Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Sexual harassment and discrimination based on pregnancy are also covered under Title VII.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), as amended, prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of age. Persons over the age of 40 are protected by the ADEA.
Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed into law in 1990. The ADA applies to qualified individuals who have a disability, a record of a disability, or who are regarded as having a disability. In order to be protected by the ADA, an individual must show that they (1) are qualified to perform the job with or without a reasonable accommodation, and (2) have a disability. The ADA defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of an individual's major life activities. The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 provided further clarification that the definition of disability should be construed in favor of broad coverage of individuals to the maximum extent permitted by the ADA. This law was effective January 1, 2009. ADA protection applies during the hiring process, and throughout the employment relationship.
Under Title II of Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), it is illegal to discriminate against employees or applicants because of genetic information. Title II of GINA prohibits the use of genetic information making employment decisions, restricts acquisition of genetic information by employers and other entities covered by Title II, and strictly limits the disclosure of genetic information.
In addition, the North Dakota Human Rights Act permits the North Dakota Department of Labor and Human Rights to process charges of employment discrimination that do not meet federal jurisdiction. The complaints may include issues of marital status, public assistance, and lawful activity off the employer's premises during non-working hours which is not in direct conflict with the essential business-related functions of the employer.
Hiring, discharge, pay, promotions, and other terms and conditions of employment are some of the issues involved with employment discrimination.
To file a charge of employment discrimination, complete the Equal Employment Opportunity Questionnaire and submit the completed form to the department. To report noncompliance with employment discrimination laws, complete the Complaint Inquiry form.
If you are an employer and have questions regarding your rights and responsibilities under employment discrimination laws, please contact us.

EMPORIA, Kan. (AP) -- Hill's Pet Nutrition said it plans to build a 300,000 square-foot plant in Emporia, the third pet food plant in the city.
The new operations will bring 100 manufacturing jobs to the city of about 27,000 people located about 65 miles southwest of Topeka, where Hill's is headquartered.
The company, a unit of Colgate-Palmolive Co., makes Prescription Diet brand pet foods, a therapeutic product available only through veterinarians, and Science Diet brand foods sold by veterinarians, pet specialty stores and breeders. Hill's was also part of the pet-food recalls in March, recalling dry cat food made with contaminated wheat gluten.
Both Menu Foods and American Nutrition already have plants in Emporia. Hill's had also considered putting its new operations in Topeka, Gardner, Ottawa and Harrisonville, Mo.
The company could take advantage of an income tax break recently passed by the Legislature to entice companies such as Hill's to build their plants in Kansas. The bill offers the tax break if companies invest at least $100 million in a plant, employ 100 people and offer better than average wages by 2009.

TAMPA — The moment that changed the Joyer family's life a year ago was accompanied by a seemingly familiar sound.
Kirsten Joyer heard a pop in her head, similar to the sudden crack of a starting pistol at a track meet, which she had heard countless times at her two oldest sons' meets and after school as a Pasco County middle school principal.
What Kirsten didn't know is that she had suffered a cerebral aneurysm and was in a race for her life — and later a marathon of a recovery. But the Joyers are well known for their fortitude.
Wesley Chapel senior Hunter Joyer, the middle child of Kirsten and Jack Joyer's three children, was a fighter from Day 1, when he developed a serious respiratory infection shortly after he was born. Doctors said he'd likely be small and frail.
They were wrong. As a 9-year-old, Hunter could do 100 push-ups in one sitting. He would compete with his older brother, Kamran, in every athletic endeavor. He won a state weightlifting title as a freshman at Wesley Chapel. Before his junior season, he transferred to Tampa Catholic, where he was a two-way starter on the Class 2A state finalist football team. Then the 6-foot, 240-pounder won a state shot put title that spring.
Amid all his athletic feats, the teenager helped lift his family on his broad shoulders.
"People who know me know I'm never going to be the same person," Kirsten said. "One look at (Hunter) and I know that he loves me unconditionally despite everything."
• • •
Jan. 28, 2010, began as a normal day for Kirsten, then an assistant principal at Weightman Middle School in Wesley Chapel. She was completing work after school when she heard that sound. A headache ensued, but she didn't think much of it.
But when she looked down at her cell phone to call her husband, she suddenly didn't know how to dial the number. She lost vision in her right eye. She knew she was in trouble and walked through the school's empty hallways in a haze until she found a coworker.
An artery in Kirsten's brain had ruptured. She was rushed to Tampa for a craniotomy to clip the aneurysm. A few days later, she had an eight-hour brain surgery.
"Those were the toughest times," Hunter said. "The reality set in that I might lose her."
At the time of his mother's illness, Hunter was just coming off a football season in which he played fullback and linebacker on a TC team that reached the state final. Division I-A college letters started rolling in.
"He never showed any outward signs that it was affecting him," TC coach Bob Henriquez said. "If anything, I think it gave him more resolve and he worked harder. He showed that life is fragile."
Hunter's mother could no longer read or dress herself. She couldn't recite the alphabet or put a puzzle together.
"I went from this high-functioning adult to someone who maybe would read at a first-grade level if I was lucky. It was very scary. The one thing I've learned from all of this is that I have amazing kids. Hunter has been great. He's such a wonderful kid. He's so compassionate and so patient."
Hunter took a lead role in taking care of his mother while helping tend to his 9-year-old brother, Chandler. Hunter's older brother, Kamran, a football and track standout at Wesley Chapel, was at Louisville, and his father had to work. Hunter drove Kirsten to therapy sessions, went grocery shopping and made sure Chandler was picked up from school.
"Usually it's my older brother who would do that stuff, but with him at college it was up to me," Hunter said. "I wanted to take the stress off my mom. And I wanted to help my dad. I felt I owed it to help for everything he helped me with. And I wanted to be a role model for my (little) brother."
"He really stepped up," Jack said. "It was all on him. He did a great job."
• • •
Last March, Hunter received a scholarship offer from Stanford, but once Florida offered in June, he committed to the Gators, who play just 1 1/2 hours from the family's home.
The month before he signed, a teary Kirsten told her son they had to withdraw him from Tampa Catholic after his senior football season. With Kirsten on disability, the family could no longer afford the private school tuition.
"Telling him that just ripped my heart out," she said. "When I saw him in the (school) parking lot, tears were streaming down my face, but he hugged me and told me don't worry about it."
Hunter gained eligibility to participate in the spring sports season at Wesley Chapel after the Florida High School Athletic Association approved the family's hardship exemption request.
On national signing day Feb. 2, Hunter officially signed with Florida.
"To have her there to be able to share in that moment was amazing," Hunter said. "I couldn't imagine how upset I would be if she wasn't there. Signing with Florida was one of my lifelong dreams, and she was there to share it and take pictures with me."
Hunter is participating in weightlifting and track this spring — and his mother has been able to attend more meets. She's slowly getting back to what she calls "the new normal." She needs daily mid-day naps. Sometimes, her boys will have to tell her stories more than once. Her vision still isn't back to normal.
Meanwhile, Hunter recently reached a personal-best 59 feet in the shot put and has a shot at breaking the state record of 65 feet, 8.25 inches.
And this fall, Kirsten plans to be at every Florida game.
"I will be the loudest person there," she said.
"I almost missed all of this," she added. "That's what I thought about in the ambulance, that I might never see my kids again. I started praying, 'Please let me see my kids realize their dreams.' That's every parent's wish."

DOMA Isn't The End In Fight For Marriage Equality
U of M Panel Discusses Long Range Equality Issues
By Jerome Stuart Nichols
Originally printed 12/13/2012 (Issue 2050 - Between The Lines News)
Enacted in 1996, the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) has long been a titan-sized barrier to accomplishing same-sex marriage equality. As such, repealing the law has become a major priority for those in the fight. While often treated as the ultimate goal, repealing DOMA might not be the end of the battle. Last week, the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy examined that idea with the panel, "DOMA and Beyond: Strategies for Achieving Marriage Equality."
Hosted by U of M LGBTQ resource and support organization Out in Public, the panel was a part of GRFSPP's student/alumni connection program Fordies under Forty. This program supports student organizations in bringing exemplary alumni back to campus to share their experiences.
DOMA and Beyond explored the complex legal and social issues surrounding DOMA and the fight for marriage equality. Panelists included U of M Law School Visiting Assistant Professor Steve Sanders, Wayne State University Associate Professor and Chair of Philosophy John Corvino and Family Equality Council Senior Legislative Council Denise Brogan-Kator. The panel's requisite "Fordie" under forty was 2008 U of M Masters in Public Policy Naomi Goldberg.
Each of the four panelists brought a different perspective on the topic. For Out In Public, it was imperative for DOMA and Beyond to take a wider look at the issue of same-sex marriage equality.
"I think it's important that you have people from different disciplines talking and in a dialog," Jeff Kessner, chair of Out In Public said. "In other things I've been involved in, people get so siloed into whatever their particular area of expertise may be and it's very easy to say that 'this' is sort of the silver bullet that the legal approach will accomplish marriage equality."
"Even in the unlikely event that the Supreme Court were to declare that every U.S. citizen had an equal right to marry, there would still be work to be done," said Corvino who stressed that legally equal doesn't necessarily mean socially equal. "It's another thing for your parents to show up at your wedding and be happy for you." Covino, a native New Yorker and co-author with Maggie Gallagher of Debating Same-Sex Marriage, also said that he appreciates living in the Midwest because of the reality check he gets from grounded people in Detroit. "I was talking to a book publisher about my new book and he said, 'Same-sex marriage - what's left to argue?' OK - I guess if you live in New York you might feel that way, but it's a big country out there."
Much of the confusion surrounding DOMA is a general lack of understanding of the law. In simple terms DOMA does three things: Defines marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman, prohibits the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages and makes it so that states are not required to recognize same-sex marriages.
Goldberg, who leads the LGBT research analysis at the Movement Advancement Project, understands the negative impact that DOMA has had on families.
"The difficult thing about DOMA is that you have state governments that have chosen to extend the freedom to marry to the couples in their own state," she said. "Within the confines of that state these families are recognized, but the minute that they leave the state, no other state is required to recognize those relationships. So, you can literally cross a border and go from being married to being treated as an unmarried couple."
That confusing lack of consistent governance can become troublesome for LGBT families and this topic was a large chunk of the afternoon's discussion.
As its title suggests, the panel also covered what would happen if DOMA was repealed and what would come afterward. Goldberg acknowledged the possible reality that a U.S. Supreme Court ruling may not result in sweeping legislation reform as hoped.
"There's so many states where gay and lesbian couples can't get married," she said. "There's still going to be states - like here in Michigan - where gay and lesbian couples can't enter a civil unions because of constitutional amendments and statutes. I think the work is going to move to those places."
"Then I think we have to think beyond marriage, which is employment protection. Even if you can't get married you can still be fired for having a photo of your partner on your desk or showing up to work and being transgender."
In lauding the work in the states that recently won elections in favor of same-sex marriage, Brogan-Kator said that marriage equality came after securing other rights first. "Every state that has marriage equality, including the three states that just passed marriage equality last month, had employment protections first," she said. "Organizers [in Maine and Maryland] laid out long-form campaign strategies that included getting employment protections first because that's the easier lift."
On Dec. 7, just three days after the panel - it was announced that the Supreme Court would examine DOMA (Windsor v. United States) and California's Proposition 8 in March 2013. They are expected to reach a verdict in June. This prevents the instant reversal of Prop. 8, but could also open the door for complete legalization.

Benjamin Franklin began the "the most taxing assignment of his life" at the age of 70: to secure the aid of the French monarchy in helping the fledgling United States establish their republic. The job required tremendous skill, finesse, and discretion, and as Stacy Schiff makes clear in this brilliant book, Franklin was the ideal American, perhaps the only one, to take on the task, due in large part to his considerable personal prestige. One of the most famous men in the world when he landed in France in December 1776, his arrival caused a sensation--he was celebrated as a man of genius, a successor to Newton and Galileo, and treated as a great dignitary, even though the nation he represented was less than a year old and there were many doubts as to whether it would see its second birthday. Though he had no formal diplomatic training and spoke only rudimentary French, Franklin managed to engineer the Franco-American alliance of 1778 and the peace treaty of 1783, effectively inventing American foreign policy as he went along, in addition to serving as chief diplomat, banker, and director of American naval affairs.
Franklin recognized and accepted the fact that French aid was crucial to American independence, but some Founding Fathers resented him for making America dependent on a foreign power and severely attacked him for securing the very aid that saved the cause. Schiff offers fascinating coverage of this American infighting, along with the complex political intrigue in France, complete with British spies and French double agents, secret negotiations and backroom deals. A Great Improvisation is an entertaining and illuminating portrait of Franklin's seven-year adventure in France that "stands not only as his greatest service to his country but the most revealing of the man." --Shawn Carkonen
"In December 1776, a small boat delivered an old man to France." So begins a dazzling narrative account of Benjamin Franklin's French mission, the most exacting–and momentous–eight years of his life. When Franklin embarked, the colonies were without money, munitions, gunpowder or common cause; like all adolescents, they were to discover that there was a difference between declaring independence and achieving it. To close that gap Franklin was dispatched to Paris, amid great secrecy, across a winter sea thick with enemy cruisers. He was seventy years old, without any diplomatic training, and possessed of the most rudimentary French. He was also among the most famous men in the world. Franklin well understood that he was off on the greatest gamble of his career. But despite minimal direction from Congress he was soon outwitting the British secret service and stirring passion for a republic in an absolute monarchy.In A Great Improvisation Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff offers an utterly fresh and thrilling account of Franklin's Parisian adventure and of America's debut on the world stage. Schiff weaves her tale of international intrigue from new and little-known primary sources, working from a host of diplomatic archives, family papers, and intelligence reports. From her pages emerges a particularly human Founding Father, as well as a vivid sense of how fragile, improvisational, and international was our country's bid for independence.

The Cove Herald
The Copperas Cove boys track team finished second behind Ellison at the District 12-5A meet last week, but claimed the most first-place finishes with six.
Most notably was the Dawgs' 800-meter relay team, which won the race with a time of 1:27.55, holding off Ellison (1:28.05), the defending state champions in the race.
Both teams shuffled their relay lineups leading up the final, as Copperas Cove, who beat the Eagles twice to start the track season, listed six Bulldawgs on the heat sheet. The other seven schools listed just the four who eventually ran the relay.
Brandon Hamilton, Kevin Coley, Orlando Thomas and William Randolph ran the relay, with Randolph holding off Ellison's Bryan Ojiyi, who filled in for the injured Prezel Hardy.
"We've been tweaking it all year," Cove head boys coach Keith Stifflemire said. "When we get to the regional track meet, we may do some more tweaking."
Roberto Camacho won the 300 hurdles (38.26), while Randolph won the 200 (21.73), this time holding off a pair of Eagles.
Graham won the 1,600, pulling away late from Ellison's Silvester Harrison to finish in 4:26.4. It was his second first place after winning the 3,200 Wednesday.
Other regional qualifiers include: Thomas (110 hurdles), Coley (100), Jonathan Bridges (high jump), John Horton (long jump and triple jump), Matt Hall (triple jump) and the Dawgs' 400-meter relay.
Five Lady Dawgs
advance to regionals
Copperas Cove's 800-meter relay finished second to Harker Heights on the second day of the District 12-5A track meet last week, but the Lady Dawgs (Andrea Hurt, Monique Cain, Alex Chace and Tiaira West) advanced to the Region II-5A meet May 3-4 at Baylor University.
Cove scored 42 points at the district meet, finished seventh. Heights scored 155 points to claim the 12-5A title.
West also qualified in the 400 after taking third, while Traonna Shedrick finished third in the long jump as well.
Cove softball out
of playoff picture
The Lady Bulldawgs needed a win to keep their postseason hopes alive, but Temple picked up the game's lone run in the sixth inning to hold off Copperas Cove 1-0 and claim District 12-5A's fourth playoff spot in its season sweep over the Lady Dawgs.
Temple improves to 16-15 overall and 7-5 in district play, while Cove (16-14) falls to 5-7 with two games to play. The Tem-cats beat Cove 5-1 the first time the teams met.
Temple's Lauren Guevara scored the run, hitting a flyball to left-center field, where it fell in after Cove outfielders Megan Martel and Katie Parris collided. The relay throw made it to the plate, but Guevara slid in under Savannah Seybold's tag at the plate.
Bryan 6, Copperas Cove 5 (Tuesday) - Brooke Parker singled up the middle and capped a three-run rally by the Lady Vikings in the bottom of the seventh to knock off the Lady Dawgs.
Cove took a 2-1 lead in the third after Brianna Sinclair doubled, Justine followed her with a single and Paige Thornhill drove them both home with a double.
Sinclair added an RBI single scoring Shaba Brown in the fourth and after Bryan tied the game in the bottom of the inning, Cove took the lead back when Ashley Hartwell and Brown scored on a wild pitch.

Fundamental Of Liar Chapter Cxxxviii: Anger - Poem by Maria Sudibyo
Why it makes you angry?
Because you care
Because it disturbs your peaceful life
Because it insults you
Because it is true
Because you are not prepared
Who could make you angry?
It is someone you hold dear in your heart
It is someone you could not bend to your will
It is someone who doesn't understand about you
It is someone who has a power in you
It is everyone in the world
How do you do in your anger?
Do you unleash harsh words without thinking clear?
Do you kick and slam everything near you?
Do you keep it hidden?
Do you manage to push harder?
Do you plan for something malicious to show them who you are?
What left in you after the anger?
Will you regret it?
Will you feel relieved?
Will it still scratch to be set free?
Will you be able to look from the other side?
Will it always be remembered?
And which affect you the most in anger?
The hurt when the trust is broken
The shame when you can't control the anger
The depression when you think you don't even have a right to be angry
The weakness when everything seems turn wrong
The loneliness when you don't actually know the reason

Terry Ward, Sr. Director, Vaccines Establishment, North American Regulatory Affairs
Telecon Body:
This meeting was held to discuss the information request of May 11, 2009 (see telecon record) regarding SOPs, samples and reagents.
Dr. Slater began by stating that the purpose of the meeting is to go through the SOPs in question and discuss minor clarifications requested by CBER. More substantive comments will be forthcoming in a formal Information Request. Dr. Gupta asked if the SOPs had been tailored to U.S. regulatory standards. GSK stated that indeed the SOPs have been translated and modified to accommodate U.S. review. In particular, several SOPs were discussed:
- SOP 9000010114 (sections 18.104.22.168, and 220.127.116.11). GSK will address CBER's clarification requests discussed during this teleconference by either incorporating the information directly into the SOPs or by providing the clarifications via writing to CBER as agreed during the teleconference. GSK is expecting to be able to file this amendment within two weeks.
GSK stated that they are targeting May 27th to ship the reagents and samples not received by CBER. They further stated that the 0.9% sodium chloride being provided will be manufactured by GSK, as opposed to -----------b(4)------------------- as indicated in the original application. GSK stated that in the interest of time and since no 0.9% sodium chloride diluent is currently available from -b(4)-, GSK 0.9% sodium chloride diluent is being provided. GSK stated their manufactured diluent meets the same acceptance criteria, and a copy of the CoA will be included in the shipment to CBER.
For the compendial methods, GSK is obtaining method verification reports. GSK is expecting to have this information available in the next two weeks.
Regarding the --b(4)---- Test in Drug Substance, GSK clarified that the Hib drug substance is considered equivalent to -b(4)- for conducting this test, and that total -b(4)- content was being tested. The discussion then turned to GSK's plans to perform this test itself post-approval. CBER stated that they would like to see this change (GSK being added as a testing site for the -b(4)- test on drug substance) reported as a PAS and GSK agreed.
The following were identified as action items:
1. GSK will obtain information on the reagent and sample shipments (including the invoice number, contents, and tracking number) and notify CBER when the shipment occurs so as to facilitate receipt of these items.
2. GSK will ensure GSK 0.9% sodium chloride diluent conforms to the same filed acceptance criteria as the -b(4)- 0.9% sodium chloride diluent, and the CoA is included in the shipment.
3. The method validation protocols and reports, the method verification reports, and the clarified SOPs (SOP 9000010114, SOP 90000010221, and SOP 9000006115) will all be available for official submission to the BLA in approximately two weeks. GSK will notify CBER when they are submitted.
Call concluded.

Emmy Rossum looks lovely on the cover of Self magazine's February 2013 issue. Inside, the actress spoke about working hard and having fun.
The gorgeous "Shameless" star keeps her svelte figure by lifting weights. She explained, "When I want to drop weight quickly, I cut back on my cardio and do a lot of weights instead. It's counterintuitive, because you would think, I should stay on the treadmill for five hours. I also cut out all fruit and eat a lot of protein and vegetables. My go-to moves are walking lunges, leg raises and my favorite: four sets of 15 ballet pliés, holding 8-pound weights."
That doesn't mean she's tough on herself though. "When I was filming 'Beautiful Creatures,' I ate 1,500 calories a day. Nutritionist Carrie Wiatt sent me meals from L.A. But I also gave myself two cheat days a week. I'd eat a steak and fries, an ice cream sundae and then go to Pinkberry. Of course, then I'd wake up the next morning and go, 'Oh, great, I'm eating one poached egg and a green apple. Shoot me in the face.' But it was totally worth it. Now I can gain back those 6 pounds that I had lost to do the movie."

text: September 15, 2009 Hispanic Heritage poster: Justice Sonia Sotomayor Source: New York Teacher Sonia Sotomayor, the nation's first Hispanic U.S. Supreme Court justice, is the focus of this year's NYSUT Hispanic Heritage Month poster. "Justice Sotomayor's outstanding academic and professional background exemplifies the benefits of hard work, determination and a solid education foundation," said Maria Neira, NYSUT vice president. "Not only does her appointment provide a much-needed voice to the Hispanic community, it also demonstrates just how far we have come as a nation," she said. "In 2008, we elected the nation's first African-American president, and now, less than a year later, we're welcoming our first Hispanic U.S. Supreme Court justice — who also happens to be a woman." The NYSUT poster features a photo of Justice Sotomayor against a backdrop of the U.S. Supreme Court building, and a brief description of her accomplishments. The poster is printed on one side in English and the other side in Spanish. Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated annually from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 in recognition of the culture and contributions of Hispanic Americans.

The council, in answer, reiterated their orders for him to begone.
I lingered—why, I can hardly tell—until once more she bade me begone.
begone, and thank your evil gods that I am not already at your lying treacherous throat.
"begone, sir," said the President, as he thrust him through the door.
I told the messenger who had brought it to begone, but he replied that he had orders to await my reply.
She looked intently at him: "begone, demon, or I will denounce you!"
And now," said she, "if that is all you can do, begone and get some porters; he must instantly go home.
For God's sake, good man, please you begone in peace and let us sleep.
The country could no longer thrive in English hands, and it was time for the invaders to begone.
Give her to me, then, and begone and God's grace go with you.'

Rita Ora
Rita Ora was hospitalized due to exhaustion on Wednesday (June 29).
The 25-year-old singer shared a snap of herself on a hospital bed with her fans on Instagram, showing a drip connected up to her arm.
She's always been quite easy on the eyes, and now Rita Ora is putting her perfect physique to work for a new 2016 swimsuit campaign.
The "How We Do" songstress is the face of Italian apparel brand Tezenis' latest spread, giving fans plenty of eye candy as she poses for the camera.
It's one of the biggest events of the year, and last night (May 2) the 2016 MET Gala was literally overflowing with gorgeous gals.
Katie Holmes looked fabulous in her finery as she mingled with the likes of Emma Watson, Lupita Nyong'o, Ciara, Zoe Saldana, Brie Larson, Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain, Anna Kendrick, Rachel McAdams, Lorde, Katy Perry, Blake Lively, Kristen Stewart, Emma Stone, Nicki Minaj, Allison Williams, Lady Gaga, Mindy Kaling, Olivia Wilde, Amber Heard and Kate Hudson.
Always monitoring the Twitterverse for nasty remarks about his famous friends, Jimmy Kimmel rolled out another installment of "Celebrity Mean Tweets" on his show last night (February 15).
Among Kimmel's guests were the guys from One Direction, who read, "Don't understand the word's obsession with One Direction. What is attractive about little boys with gross hair and skinny jeans?"
She's always been a fan of flashing flesh, but Rita Ora is taking her game to a new level with her topless Lui magazine cover this month.
The "Fifty Shades of Grey" actress smiles from ear-to-ear in her black leather skirt and open denim shirt as controversial lensman Terry Richardson captures her feminine form for the front page.
Trying out a fresh look for the New Year, Rita Ora is featured on the front page of ELLE Canada February 2016 edition.
The "How We Do" songstress worked with photographer Max Abadian on her cover shoot, flaunting a blonde pixie hairdo with bold colors and plenty of attitude.
Given the importance of a strong social media game these days, Rita Ora knows just how to pose for that perfect cell phone snapshot.
And in the January 2016 issue of Glamour magazine, the "How We Do" songstress gives some tips on capturing the perfect selfie- "Look up. Then down. And know it's all about the lighting. I use the hi-fi filter [X-Pro II] a lot, but I try to stay away from retouching tools. It takes a lot of rehearsing all the angles. You'll figure it out!"
Actress Gwendoline Christie and supermodel Jourdan Dunn were honoured for their style sense at the 2015 British Fashion Awards on Monday night (November 23).
The "Game of Thrones" actress was named the Red Carpet Ambassador while Dunn was presented with the Model of the Year prize by Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing.
Is it hot in here? Rita Ora and Chris Brown just released the music video for their new single, "Body on Me," and it is STEAMY.
The video features the two as neighbors in a rundown apartment building, who meet for the first time in a dark, dingy elevator. They bring the lyrics of the song to life when they start fantasizing about taking their relationship to a more… intimate… level. They go their separate ways, but eventually find their way back to each other to dance the night away.

AMVETS Hawaii – Admiral Macke and General Lee will Tee Off with our Returning Warriors and Wounded Marines at Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course on Friday, May 25, 2012.
"Our AMVETS USS Arizona Memorial Post is committed to the Legacy of our USS Arizona Memorial and our Nation's Veterans," said Commander of AMVETS Hawaii Donovan A. Lazarus.
It is with great pleasure that AMVETS have this opportunity to organize the official USS Arizona Memorial 2012 Golf Event & Banquet fundraiser event, along with our partners: Pacific Historic Parks, National Park Service the Lazarus Foundation, Inc and Armed Service Exchange.
This coming Memorial Day of 2012, marks the 50th Anniversary of the USS Arizona Memorial. Unfortunately, after nearly 50 years in salt water, the Memorial needs a lot of major repairs. In order to raise funds to preserve what remains of the sunken battleship USS Arizona, the final resting place for many of the 1,177 crewmen killed on December 7th, 1941.
Our goal is to raise $80,000 of the $1,000,000 needed for the restoration of the USS Arizona Memorial. This would also be a great opportunity to golf with our Returning Warriors, while honoring their service and sacrifice to the Nation. Proceeds from this event will go directly to the refurbishment of the USS Arizona Memorial. To register to participate in this tournament or for your company to become a major sponsor of this golf tournament, please visit www.ussarizonamemorial.us or email Commander Donovan A. Lazarus, at email@example.com.
