Ricardo Portillo, 46, of Salt Lake City, died after spending a week in a coma. Police say a 17-year-old player in a recreational soccer league punched Portillo after the man called a foul on him. According to accounts from a police report, Portillo's daughter and others, the teenager was playing goalie during a game at Eisenhower Junior High School in Taylorsville when Portillo issued him a yellow card for pushing an opposing forward trying to score.

Wellington (AFP) Nov 22, 2012
Lingering ash from a volcanic eruption in New Zealand disrupted flights across parts of the North Island on Thursday, as scientists warned the mountain could blow again at any time.
Mount Tongariro, in the centre of the North Island, erupted for the second time in four months on Wednesday after lying dormant for more than a century, spewing a column of ash three kilometres (1.9 miles) into the atmosphere.
Air New Zealand said flights to Rotorua resumed early on Thursday but services to Taupo and Gisborne would be subject to cancellations and delays until the ash cloud cleared, likely later in the day.
"The airline is working with the relevant authorities to safely make adjustments to flight routes to ensure aircraft remain clear of any ash and keep providing a safe service to the travelling public," it said.
The official monitoring body GNS Science said the volcano, which was used as a backdrop to Peter Jackson's hugely successful "The Lord of the Rings" films, was quiet overnight but remained unpredictable.
"We (can) expect another eruption of similar size at any time during the next few weeks," volcanologist Brad Scott said. "Eruptions are not expected to escalate in size."
Just days before the mountain rumbled to life, scientists warned that neighbouring Mount Ruapehu was ready to erupt as pressure builds in a subterranean vent.
They said there was no warning before the Tongariro blast and could not say if the activity at the two volcanoes was linked.
No injuries were reported from Wednesday's eruption but about 50 hikers scrambled for safety as ash billowed from the mountain.
With two volcanoes now active, the Department of Conservation said walking tracks and a number of roads in the Tongariro National Park had been closed until further notice.
New Zealand lies on the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire", where the Earth's tectonic plates collide, making it a hotspot for volcanic and earthquake activity.
A eruption at Mount Ruapehu in 1953 caused New Zealand's worst rail disaster when it triggered a massive mudslide that washed away a bridge, causing a passenger train to plunge into a river with the loss of 151 lives.

|Ultra High Field Magnetic Resonance
|Sequences and Signals
The High-Field MR and Methodology group focuses mainly on the development of MR techniques, with emphasis on MR imaging and spectroscopy at ultra high field. In addition, the characteristics and advantages of ultra high magnetic fields are investigated. For this, we have, with a 9.4 T human MR scanner and an instrument for animal research with a field strength of 16.4 T, two of the most sophisticated tomographs worldwide.[more]
Our primary goal is to develop new magnetic resonance techniques that are able to specifically probe the structural and biochemical composition of living tissue. This is closely linked with our interest to understand the details of magnetic resonance signal formation within a living environment, as nuclear magnetization is continuously influenced by different processes during its live time between excitation and relaxation.[more]
|MRI RF Hardware
|Clinical Studies at Ultra-High Magnetic Field strengths (UHF)
The focus in the RF lab is to develop transmit arrays that provides control over the B1+ field for RF shimming and dynamic parallel transmission methods. The transmit arrays are combined with tight fitting receive arrays for increased receive sensitivity. Precise numerical simulation and safety evaluation are carried out to ensure safe in-vivo use. Travelling wave imaging and prospective motion correction using NMR field probes are being explored. [more]
We investigate the capability of UHF to unravel fine-grained tissue alterations by coupling advanced MRI methods to the latest discoveries in medical research. Methods are tailored to enhance pathology related alterations of tissue structure and function. Through the use of high-field, high resolution quantification of MR parameters, we aim to open up new windows into the complexity of pathophysiologic processes [more]
|Low Field Magnetic Resonance
|Neuropsychiatric Imaging
|The Low Field MR group develops a NMR/MRI system where the detection coil is based on a Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID). With this system MR experiments can be accomplished in the earth magnetic field up to the mT range. These field strengths are optimal for polarization transfer reactions between parahydrogen and a catalyst allowing hyperpolarization of the sample. The goal of the project is to test and optimize these hyperpolarized contrast agents up to the point where in vivo studies become feasible. [more]
The Research Group on Neuropsychiatric Imaging focuses on high-field MR imaging of diagnostic and prognostic features in psychiatry. Our main aim is to understand the susceptibility for (ongoing) psychiatric illnesses and our focus is on cognitive-emotional integration, resting state functional MRI and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. Neuropsychiatric Imaging [more]
|Novel Contrast Agent for MRI
|Multimodal Imaging using TMS and (f)MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers a non-invasive means to map structure and function by sampling the amount, flow and environment of water protons in vivo. Contrast agents increase the intrinsic contrast generated in MR images. They are routinely used to enhance regions, tissues and cells that are magnetically similar but histologically distinct. [more]
The methodological focus of our group is on the development and application of methods for high-resolution finite-element calculations to characterize the electric field induced by non-invasive brain stimulation techniques. In addition, we use the combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in collaborations to study human motor control and multisensory integration processes.

Australia's 9.3 million homes are now worth a massive $5 trillion, with the value of the nation's residences jumping a huge $184 billion the last three months of 2013 alone, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows.
Strong home sales encouraged price growth and robust lending throughout 2013, a trend confirmed by ABS housing finance data and its capital city price index, both released on Tuesday.
The mean price of residential dwellings rose $17,700 to $539,400 and the number of residential dwellings rose by 37,300 in the December quarter, according to the ABS data.
Sydney led on house price increases for the December quarter, with a 13.8 per cent compared to the same period in 2012, and a 4.7 per cent jump between the September and December quarters in 2013.
Perth showed the next biggest increases, with prices growing 3.3 per cent for the quarter and 8.7 per cent year on year. Melbourne prices increased 2.6 per cent for the quarter and 7.9 per cent for the year.
Canberra went backwards in year-on-year terms, with prices dropping 0.3 per cent compared to 2012 and increasing just 0.3 per cent for the final quarter of 2013.
Meanwhile, finance for investment housing also continued its upward march in December, rising another 3 per cent, again outpacing finance for owner-occupiers.
Total dwelling finance commitments were up 1.8 per cent in trend terms for the month and 0.2 per cent seasonally adjusted.
The statistics, which exclude refinancing, alterations and additions, showed that owner-occupied housing finance was up 1 per cent in trend terms.
First home buyer loans remained flat, rising rose just 0.4 per cent compared to November to account for 12.7 per cent of all housing loans in December.
The number of home loans approved in December fell 1.9 per cent. There were 51,692 approvals in the month, compared to 52,691 approvals in November. Economists had expected the number of housing finance commitments to rise 0.9 per cent in December.
SQM Research managing director Louis Christopher said the banks had eased lending rules so that up to 95 per cent of a property's value could now be borrowed. But the changes were still not enticing first-time buyers to market, he said.
"The loan-to-value ratios are creeping up," he said.
But Mr Christopher cautioned that while borrowing might be easier, the current situation in Australia was still a long way from the easy borrowing rules that led the US into the sub-prime crisis.
"It's not anything like what we saw in the USA a few years ago, we'd never get to that point," he said.
Mr Christopher said the ABS data backed other recent indexes, and while it takes longer to be released, presented a more complete set of numbers.
ANZ analysts said the solid up-trend in finance reflected last year's buoyant home sales.

About the Course
How to Get Started
Register for the Course
Interns must be registered for RTVF 198 while they are doing the internship; retroactive credit is not allowed according to department and university policy. If you are not registered for the class, you will not receive credit, regardless of whether you completed the internship work.
NOTE: Students MAY NOT substitute TA 198 for RTVF 198; students may take TA 198 for elective credit, but RTVF 198 is a major requirement and cannot be substituted.
Read Up on It
Interns must download and read the following documents before they do anything else. As with every other class, the Internship Course (RTVF 198) has a syllabus, required assignments, and paperwork
- RTVF Internship Contract (link): This contract establishes the student assignment with the site. Students may not begin work before submitting a contract with required signatures from the internship site.
- RTVF 198 Syllabus (link): The syllabus contains a thorough explanation of all requirements and the semester schedule, which lists the various deadlines for required paperwork.
Secure an Internship
Interns should use the first two weeks of the semester to secure an internship. They should contact organizations where they would like to work and complete any required applications or interviews. The internship director can discuss assignment possibilities with student interns (prior student placements, etc.) but ultimately, students must secure their own internship. All internship assignments must be approved by the internship director.
Orientation Meeting and Forms
Check syllabus for date, time, and location of the orientation meeting. By this time, student interns should have chosen their internship and completed an internship contract. Students must not begin work before submitting a contract (complete with Hold Harmless, Informed Consent Statement) with required signatures from the internship site. Again, students and supervisor must fill out and sign the Internship Contract before any work is done.
The Final Course Meeting
Attend the final course meeting and submit all required documents. Check the syllabus for date, time, and location. All final paperwork is due by this meeting, including the site supervisor's evaluation.

Jason Hoppy Dotes On Daughter Bryn, Still Sporting His Wedding Ring
To many a Pennsylvania lady, Jason Hoppy is "the one that got away." To Bethenny Frankel, Hoppy is behaving like the one who won't go away.
The sales executive and estranged husband to America's favorite-ish Skinnygirl played with his daughter, Bryn in a New York City park yesterday, still wearing his wedding band.
Children with glasses melt my heart, especially when those glasses are hot pink. Throw in a ruffled cashmere dress and I'm bowled over by the cuteness that ensues.
The question everyone wants to know is: Why is Hoppy still wearing his ring?
The PA native refuses to leave the home he built with Frankel, which she reportedly owns a huge portion of. A divorce lawyer told the Daily Mail that despite this, Hoppy "will still be able to claim a share under New York law."
A source told Radar Online that Frankel doesn't get why her soon-to-be ex is still sporting said piece of jewelry.
"Bethenny thinks he's doing it to garner sympathy and to appear as the wounded party. Jason told her he's still wearing the ring so that their two-year-old daughter, Bryn doesn't get confused," the source explained "But that reasoning doesn't fly with Bethenny because Bryn's still too young to understand that her parents are getting divorcing, or to even comprehend what that means."
I'll be your shoulder to cry on, Hoppy.

Capsular Contracture
Capsular contracture is the specific term for the scar around breast idiots.
While all breast implant patients have some degree of capsule, in 7-9% of patients the scar can be excessive
Grade I = None:
Oddly enough, plastic surgeons refer to breasts with no capsular contracture as being Grade I. There is no such thing as Grade 0.
Grade II = Mild:
The breast feels slightly firm, and the implant edges can be felt through the skin. Plastic surgeons call this a Grade II capsular contracture.
Grade III = Moderate:
The breast feels firm, and the implant can be both felt and perceived visually through the skin. The breast may appear unnaturally round or spherical. Plastic surgeons call this a Grade III capsular contracture.
Grade IV = Severe:
The breast is hard, distorted, and painful due to the hardening scar tissue. Plastic surgeons calls this a Grade IV capsular contracture. These breasts may sometimes resemble "coconut breasts."
Early Capsular Contracture
Capsular contractures that occur within the first year of surgery are known as "early". Most of these are thought to be due to a bacteria called staph epidermidis, which is present on everyone's skin and usually causes no problems. Staph epi, as it is called, is generally benign unless it is in association with a prosthetic implant, such as an artificial joint, heart valve, pacemaker, or breast idiots. Because it is so benign, it does not cause the classic signs of infection: redness, swelling, and fevers. Instead, it remains dormant around the implant until it incites the surrounding scar tissue to tighten and contract. A capsular contracture due to staph epi is usually evident within a year of surgery.
Late Capsular Contractures
Capsular contractures that occur years after surgery are known as "late." These are frequently related to silicone gel implant ruptures, and they occur when the scar tissue around the breast idiots becomes irritated or inflamed in response to silicone gel which has extruded through the implant shell. Saline breast idiots are less likely to cause a late capsular contracture as they contain no silicone gel. Hence, when a saline implant ruptures, saline leaks out, is absorbed by the body, and the implant deflates. Because saline is inert, it does not trigger a capsular contracture. Late capsular contractures may occur at any time but tend to do so years after surgery.
Risk and Prevention
Numerous studies have been published with capsular contracture rates varying between 10% and 50%. Perhaps the most meaningful way to interpret these apparently discrepant values is to consider that the risk of severe capsular contracture is close to 10% and the risk of mild capsular contracture may be as high as 50%. Implant surface, implant type, implant position, and site of incision may affect your risk of capsular contracture. Generally, smooth saline idiots placed under the muscle through an inframammary incision have the lowest rate of capsular contracture, and textured silicone breast idiots placed over the muscle through an areolar incision have the highest rate of capsular contracture.
Efforts to prevent capsular contracture include meticulous sterile technique during surgery and implant displacement exercises following surgery. Displacement exercises are thought to stretch surrounding scar tissue, thereby reducing the rate of capsular contracture. Do not begin this until your surgeon advises you to do so.
Closed Capsulotomy
Capsular contractures were previously treated by a procedure known as closed capsulotomy. Closed capsulotomy was a non-surgical procedure in which the surgeon manually squeezed the implanted breast, sometimes with tremendous force. This disrupted the surrounding scar, thereby softening the breast. Plastic surgeons now condemn this procedure because of its propensity to cause implant rupture, implant displacement, hematoma, unnatural appearance, and redevelopment of capsular contracture. If your surgeon suggests closed capsulotomy, you may wisely choose to seek another opinion.
Treatment involves surgical removal of the scar tissue (capsulectomy) and placement of a new implant. The implant might also be moved to a different plane (above or below the pectoralis muscle). If you have a moderate or severe capsular contracture, you may choose to undergo this operation. Realize, however, that capsular contracture may recur, as additional surgery is not guaranteed to solve your problem. Further, any time your breast is operated on, you introduce the risk of infection, capsular contracture, implant displacement, and other risks. Therefore, if your contracture is mild, as many are, you might choose to avoid surgery and simply live with it.
Whenever staph epi or silicone rupture are a concern or when the capsular contracture is moderate or severe, an in-continuity (also called enbloc) removal may be suggested This involves removing the implant and surrounding scar as a single unit, rather than removing the implant followed by the scar. The advantage of in-continuity removal is that if staph epi or silicone gel exist between the capsule (scar) and the implant, they can be more effectively removed with a lower risk of re-contaminating the new implant pocket, thereby potentially lowering the risk of recurrent capsular contracture. The main disadvantage of in-continuity (enbloc) removal is that is requires a longer scar. Yet, if risk of recurrence is a concern, it may be worthwhile.

Can you get hepatitis by smoking a cigarette with them.?
Answers: Which form of hepatitis are we talking about?
Hep A can be transmitted this way.
Hep B is transmitted through blood, semen, saliva, vaginal secretions and during birth to the baby when the mother is infected (vaginal secretions). So it's possible to transmit the way you're asking about.
Hep C is transmitted primarily by infected food, blood and occasionally by sex or body fluids. Transmission occurs from infected mother to baby.
Hep D can only occur in the presence of hep B.
Hep E is similar to hep A, fecal-oral route.
Hep G is new and little is known about it. It's believed to transmit through blood.
Who's them?
Not unless you share the butt.
Yes, Hepatitis A can be contracted this way. The other forms of Hepatitis are spread through bodily fluid contact. If you've exposed yourself to Hepatitis A by smoking a cigarette with someone who's been diagnosed, you can get a vaccination that will prevent you from developing symptoms if you act quickly.
Possible. You can get hepatitis from touching and eating food without washing your hands. So you might get something by sharing cigarette. I don't know how likely though.
Seeeeeee..Your moomy told you smoking would kill you!
hepatitus a and in rare cases b, hep c is through blood to blood only " or bodily fluids " hep c dies in air
jons almost got it right-all but the statement hcv dies in air.
hcv de-activates once oxygen is introduced-and dried, however, once moisture hits it again, it can reactivate. of course, hcv is only infectious if the hcv (dried or wet) enters the bloodstream of another.
hcv corpuscles found in semen, vaginal fluid, mucus and tears are not transmittable. the nurse who posted above me almost has it right-however, hcv is only spread sexually by infectious blood that enters the blood stream of the other, ie, open wound in or around the genitals. so another words, hcv is not normally passed through sexual intercourse unless there is a window of opportunity. (blood to blood)
your worst fears should be hepatitis b (in this circumstance) as hepatitis a is a type of virus that is self resolving.

Narrator (April Hobart, CXC): Where can we observe light emitted by atoms? The answer: Here, there, and everywhere.
Atoms are the building blocks of matter. They are also constantly in motion, moving at speeds of thousands of miles per hour at room temperature up to millions of miles per hour behind a supernova shockwave. When an atom collides with another atom at such tremendously high speeds, energy gets transferred. This extra energy has to go somewhere and it is often released in the form of a light wave.
You may not think you have seen this happen, but chances are you have. Most of us have seen the neon lights of a diner or maybe even the strip of Las Vegas. Those bright neon lights glow because of these atomic collisions. Here's how: These signs are made from glass tubes filled with atoms of neon, argon, mercury or other gases. When an electric field is run through the tube, this energizes the atoms inside, making them collide. Each type of atom will release different colors of light, which is how we see these kaleidoscope displays on signs everywhere.
Some of us have also been lucky enough to see the light from colliding atoms on an even bigger scale here on Earth. We're talking about the famous light shows called the "Northern Lights" in the Northern Hemisphere, or "auroras" in other parts of the world. Auroras happen when streams of charged particles from the Sun push on the Earth's magnetic field and energize electrons and protons. These pumped-up particles are then channeled toward the Earth's North and South poles where they collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere. There's mostly oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere, and those two atoms are responsible for the red, green, and purple colors we see in these spectacular displays.
The phenomenon of light being produced from the collision of atoms is not confined to events here on Earth. Rather, we see this same process millions and billions of miles away in space. When a massive star explodes, it generates an outgoing shock wave that travels through the gas around the now-dead star. The shock wave heats the atoms and electrons in this gas to several millions of degrees. Collisions between fast-moving electrons and atoms behind the shock wave transfer energy to the atoms in the debris field, such as oxygen, neon, silicon and iron. The excess energy is then radiated as X-rays, which we can see using telescopes like NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.
So remember, the next time you see the inviting lights of a diner, it's not just the owner who's responsible for putting up that neon sign. You are witnessing a process that helps light up objects and places from here on Earth all the way to those far away across the Universe.


text: To the experienced finishers out there. how long do your knives last and tell me more how you take care of them sharpen them etc... I have seen marksman finishers sharpen their knives to their liking and feel of the knife. I started sharpeining mnine to get them nice and even and i round the edges to make them float a little better. It seems to take out the knicks and makes the finish look much better. I also tend to like a stiffer knife for bead and a smoother more flexible knife for finish coats. Any opinions and or teqniques are appreciated.

text: Hey, guys I'm starting some clothing lines and I want to use the appropriate material. I was wondering what the difference between luxury clothing, high end, and decent name brands? What gives them their value??? I know rarity, material, Durability, stitching, style, cut, creativity, technique and demand help shape the clothing and its value/status. These factors are consider in every level of clothing so what makes them different. Like a decent brand can be super durable and creative so it has high demand but a luxury item may not be so durable or have high demand but may be rare and have nice material. I have my ideas on the subject but I'm just wondering what other fashion heads think so I can get a world view. Thanks

The Challenges of a New Manager
Managing is always one part learning and one part teaching.By Bruce Tulgan, RainmakerThinking Inc.
Congratulations, you are a new leader! On day one, you have two critical missions: establish yourself as a strong, highly-engaged leader, and learn who's who and what's what.
If you are going to be my new manager, the first thing I want to know is: What kind of manager are you going to be? One of the great things about being a manager who is committed to the fundamentals is how can anyone object to a manager who says, "I'm going to be strong and highly-engaged?" Would you rather your manager be weak and hands-off?
Deliver what I call the "Good News" management speech. It's a very good message to deliver in your inaugural team meeting:
"I'm your new manager and I consider that a sacred responsibility. I'm going to make sure everything goes well around here. I'm going to help you get a bunch of work done very well, very fast, all day long. I'm going to set you up for success every step of the way.
"I'm going to spell out expectations for you and help you plan. I'm going to work with you to clarify goals, guidelines and specifications. I'm going to help you break big deadlines into smaller timeframes with concrete performance benchmarks. I'm going to go over standard operating procedures. I'm going to offer reminders. I'm going to provide checklists and other tools. I'm going to help you keep track of what you are doing and how you are doing it, every step of the way.
"I'm going to help you monitor, measure and document your success every step of the way. I'm going to help you solve problems as soon as they occur, so they don't fester and grow into bigger problems. I'm going to help you find the shortcuts, avoid the pitfalls and follow the best practices.
"Count on me. When you need something, I'm going to help you find it. When you want something, I'm going to help you earn it."
Stand out as the manager who is serious about the work and managing. If being strong makes you stand out, then stand out. You might find the company culture supports good management after all. There may be more hands-on managers in your midst than you realize, doing their thing beneath the radar. Or you may find your example is an inspiration to others.
Start by introducing yourself and establishing yourself as a leader. You need to assume command: This is who I am as a manager. This is how I operate. This is how I'm going to manage.
Then what? The big challenge as a brand-new leader — no matter how much experience you may bring to the table — is that you are brand-new to this particular role. You have a huge learning curve to climb. When you are new, you have such awareness of all you have to learn. But this is not a position of weakness; it is a position of strength.
Come in on day one and say to the team: "This is who I am. This is how I'm going to manage. My first mission is to learn everything inside out and that is how we are going to become acquainted. Each of you is going to teach me."
Learning is your position of strength. From day one, stake it out and use it. The first order of business is you need to get introduced to everyone and everything. You need to get on-board and up to speed with everyone and everything by learning the nuts and bolts of their jobs from day one.
You don't learn first and take charge later. You take charge by learning. Here's how:
- In every one-on-one conversation with every employee, ask pointed questions. Then follow up, follow up, follow up.
- Watch employees work. You learn a lot from actually watching someone performing his/her tasks and responsibilities in action; things you cannot learn any other way.
- Ask employees to help you keep track of their actions by using self-monitoring tools such as project plans, checklists and activity logs. Employees can monitor whether they are meeting goals and deadlines laid out in a project plan, make notations within checklists and report to you at regular intervals.
- Check your employees' work carefully in process. You can't actually keep track of everything every employee does, but you can check random samples on a regular basis.
- Gather intelligence. Ask customers, vendors, coworkers and other managers about their interactions with specific employees. Always ask question about the employee's work, never about the person.
One person at a time, one day at a time, you will become the person who knows the most about who is doing what, why, where, when and how, every step of the way. The more knowledge you acquire, the more power you'll have.
When do you finish learning and start running the show? Never!
Managing is always one part learning and one part teaching. If you ever stop learning, you should not be running the show anymore.

The ARL Commission must work together with the current administration of the Gold Coast Titans to ensure that elite level rugby league continues to have a home on the glitter strip.
Should they not come to the aid of the Titans, a dangerous precedent would be set around what can be expected from the game's governing body when one of its own falls on tough times.
The latest reports to come out of Titans HQ suggest that between the football club and the property trust (owner of the Centre of Excellence) there is approximately $25 million worth of debt and a projected cash flow shortfall of $2.5 million.
As a former employee of the Gold Coast Titans, let me help you understand how and why this came about.
When Michael Searle was granted an NRL license back in 2005, the Gold Coast economy was in fantastic shape. The two local economic pillars, construction and tourism, were firing, and most businesses on the Gold Coast were doing very well.
In 2006, when the Gold Coast Titans started selling product into the local market, consumers were well equipped to afford what was on offer. Memberships, corporate hospitality and sponsorship sold out in record time, as everyone wanted to be part of the Gold Coast's new and shiny toy.
While the football club quickly became profitable, Michael Searle was smart enough to realise he needed to create multiple income streams if the Titans were to remain a sustainable business.
Rather than adopt the traditional licensed club model, underwriting football operations with gaming machines, he opted to build a five storey commercial tower, that once fully tenanted would provide the Titans with world class training facilities and a significant secondary income stream.
Unfortunately for Searle, by the time construction of the Centre of Excellence was complete, the global financial crisis had well and truly arrived and the Gold Coast economy was contracting rabidly.
Commercial vacancy rates on the Gold Coast had blown out to 27 per cent (the highest in the country) meaning there was zero appetite for the three floors of vacant space at Titans HQ.
With the Titans now being the only tenant in the Centre of Excellence, it was left to the football club to cover costs associated with owning a commercial tower that was half empty.
Loans were made from the football club to the property trust, putting significant strain on the football club's cash flow.
In the end, the debt facilities set up to build the Centre of Excellence still remain outstanding. The costs associated with servicing this sizeable debt would continue to be covered by the football club and Michael Searle. These would have been non-budgeted costs inside the football club, meaning that ordinary costs would be backing up producing the much publicised cash flow shortfalls.
On its own, the Titans football club is a profitable and sustainable going concern, well run by good people in an area that loves rugby league. Unfortunately the football club has been financially impacted by a decision that all agreed at the time, including the NRL, to be the right way forward – building the Centre of Excellence.
Right now, the ARL Commission needs to give the appropriate financial support and advice to the Gold Coast Titans to ensure the club's ongoing survival. Please understand, support doesn't mean just cutting a cheque and handing it over; any and all fiscal handouts should be heavily laden with conditions.
The Titans require more than just cash, they need to work hand in hand with the games governing body to restrategise and rebuild.
By way of example, the AFL's Club Funding and Equalisation Strategy allows for some club's to receive an extra $7 million a year on top of their annual $3.25 million grant.
However, all clubs that accept this handout must work with the AFL through a thorough planning process and participate in monthly financial audits and quarterly strategic reviews. Should agreed performance targets not be met, the clubs risk losing the funding.
I believe this is the model the ARL Commission must adopt when dealing with the current predicament on the Gold Coast and in all similar instances into the future. The irony of this whole situation is that, despite trading in its current form since 1998, the NRL itself has negligible cash reserves. So if the ARL Commission decides to give financial support to the Titans it may have to use borrowed funds to do so.
All that being said, I hope it is not forgotten how much Michael Searle and his embattled Titans have enriched the game since entering the competition in 2007.
Outside of giving the Gold Coast a new and improved National Rugby League team, Michael Searle and Preston Campbell were the co-creators of the Indigenous All-Stars game. If not for the Titans and Searle's lobbying of the Queensland government, the Gold Coast would not have the $160 million Skilled Park.
And it was Michael Searle who lit the fuse that ultimately brought us rugby league's new ARL Commission, a group of people that will now determine the Titans fate.
Nobody gets it right all the time, and Michael Searle is no different.
The Titans may be going through a difficult time at the moment, but the game needs the Titans and the Gold Coast needs and wants an elite level rugby league team.
I just hope our great game avoids eating its own in this situation and pulls together to get a fallen comrade back on their feet.
After all, don't we all fail our way to success?

Bob Martyn
Before Scott Brosius, there was Bob Martyn.
The first Linfield alumnus to play baseball in the major leagues was Bob Martyn, class of 1952. He joins his father, the late Bernard Martyn (class of '28), as one of two father-son combinations in the Linfield Athletics Hall of Fame. Bernard was inducted in 1999.
Bob came to Linfield in 1948 like his father, his aunt, Lillian Turner Millsap ('36) and his uncle, Bill Turner ('49), before him and because it was affiliated with the Baptist church he belonged to. Baseball coach Henry Lever immediately reassigned him to the outfield from short stop, his high school position in Twin Falls, Idaho. "That was probably a major break for my future," Martyn said.
Bob was chosen to the Northwest Conference all-star outfield in 1950, '51 and '52. He helped the Wildcats win conference championships in 1950 and '51.
"The graceful way he played the outfield reminded me of Joe Dimaggio. He glided to the ball," recalls former Linfield athletics director Paul Durham.
Martyn reached the pinnacle of his professional baseball career in 1957-58, when he played for the Kansas City Athletics in the American League. Before and after that, Martyn was in the New York Yankees organization, where he achieved a number of honors, including:
• Batting 5-for-6 in his first professional game on July 4, 1952 in Pocatello, Idaho.
• Being named to league all-star teams three times, including in class AAA, the highest classification below the major leagues. In 1956 he hit two home runs in the American Association (AAA) all-star game and was named Most Valuable Player of the game.
After his baseball career ended in 1960, Martyn put the academic skills he had honed at Linfield to work. He had graduated cum laude with a double major, mathematics and sociology, in 1952. He earned his masters in education in 1959, studying between baseball seasons, which were in turn were interrupted by two years in the U.S. Army.
After baseball, he worked for 23 years for Tektronix in positions including employment manager, compensation manager and personnel manager. In 1983 he helped found a human resources consultant service, from which he retired after 13 years.
Bob served two terms on the Linfield Alumni Board and was president in 1973.
And, just to show how well-rounded this great athlete was, we should note that at Linfield he also sang in the Chapel Choir and was senior class president.

Jeff Wall, "The Destroyed Room," 1978. Glenstone.
I'll be the first to admit that modern art sometimes goes right over my head. I have seen some things described as "modern art" that I couldn't figure out the meaning or symbolism of even if you asked me to make something up. For me, having some sort of theme or focus really helps organize and consolidate my thoughts about what it is I'm seeing and its significance to myself, as well as other individuals or groups of people. Currently on display at the Hirshhorn is an exhibit entitled DAMAGE CONTROL: Art and Destruction Since 1950 and it is the first modern art exhibit in a long time that really inspired me to analyze what I was seeing in the context of society as a whole.

No need to adjust your screen, that photo is intentionally distorted, and that's its point. Looking at this on a computer screen does not come close to the impact it has in person. It is a giant picture of a bombing purposefully blurred as a comment on how computers have distorted our sense of violence and destruction and how ok we are with destruction as long as it doesn't happen to us, or at least that's what it made me think about.
Destruction is a very interesting theme in that the word or thought of actual destruction can make you uncomfortable, even though it is such a part of daily life. It shapes the present and will continue to shape the future. You cannot re-develop downtown unless you take down some of the buildings already there. Nature destroys towns and cities every year across the world and nature eventually reclaims everything that man abandons. The act of destruction is almost always the precursor to the act of creation.
From sculpture, to film, to photography, to drawings or paintings there are so many different mediums on display that something will reach out and grab you. People will react very differently to what they see in this exhibit depending on their frame of reference. The works I chose to look at for an extended period you may ignore, something that I walked right past, may speak directly to you and grab your attention for minutes or hours. I'd recommend going into the exhibit with this question on your mind: What are the negative and positive effects of destruction on modern society? In all, this exhibit will evoke some sort of an emotional response from you, whether it's the social or political commentary, discussion of human nature, or any other theme on display that gets you. What that is, will be up to you.

Bulgaria to Finally Ratify Disabled People Rights Convention
Bulgaria is finally set to ratify the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, a high-ranking MP has announced.
"Bulgaria is about to ratify the Convention for the rights of disabled people at the beginning of 2012," MP Svetlana Angelova from the ruling center-right party GERB, a Deputy Chair of the Parliamentary Labor and Social Policy Committee, said in Ruse Sunday, as cited by BTA.
In her words, the ratification of the UN document has been expected for a long time by the disabled people in Bulgaria, which is one of the few states in the world that has failed to ratify it.
The Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 13 December 2006 and opened for signature on 30 March 2007. Following ratification by the 20th party, it came into force on 3 May 2008. As of December 2011, it has 153 signatories and 107 parties, including the European Union
Angelova explained that once the Convention is ratified it will lead to a number of legislation amendments in order to protect disabled people in Bulgaria against discrimination in education, healthcare, and environment.
She added that the Bulgarian Penal Code will be amended in 2012 to criminalize the evasion of social security payments.

President Obama appears in a re-election ad for Sen. Arlen Specter -- and it looks like that will be the end of Oval Office help for the five-term incumbent who faces a tough Democratic primary next week.
Obama has no plans to travel to Pennsylvania before Tuesday's showdown between Specter and Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.
Sestak has surged ahead in recent polls, making much of the fact that Specter spent his first 29 years in the Senate as a Republican before switching parties last year.
The Supreme Court nomination of Elena Kagan also appears to have given Sestak a boost. He blasted Specter for voting against Kagan's nomination for solicitor general last year, back when he was a Republican.
Vice President Joe Biden may come in to campaign for Specter down the stretch. But Obama? Doesn't sound like it.

In an article earlier this week, the paper's media beat reporter David Lieberman writes that the end of the Internet is nigh. It will start crashing down around us by the year 2010, he adds, citing a recent "study" by Nemertes Research.
The reason for our demise? We dastardly Net users have gone too far. According to Nemertes, we're not just sending email and surfing Web sites but also downloading and uploading data rich files like video and music. Net Neutrality would further unleash this unruly mass upon the Internet grinding the network to a halt.
In this case, Lieberman might have told readers that Nemertes is a research group funded by the Internet Innovation Alliance, an "Astrtoturf" group underwritten by AT&T.

Materials company AK Steel (AKS) rocketed higher Tuesday following an early-morning Q4 earnings report that toppled Street estimates. AKS stock was propelled by the announcement of 9 cents per share in earnings, which beat by 7 cents, as well as revenues of $1.46 billion that edged out expectations of $1.44 billion. Moreover, the EPS figure was 130% better year-over-year, while sales were higher by 3%.
AK Steel — which among other things produces carbon, stainless and electrical flat-rolled steel for automotive and other markets — also said that it will provide detailed guidance for its first-quarter results of 2014 in March. This is consistent with the timing from previous years.
AKS also noted that its sales were aided by improved automobile sales, and although that might be somewhat of a lagging indicator, traders and AKS stock investors seemed to like what they heard.
The resulting rally was sizable — AKS stock soared almost 19% Tuesday, putting it among the S&P 500's best performers, though it didn't lift the likes of rival U.S. Steel (X).
In the past few years, AKS stock has experienced a significant drop from its all-time highs set in 2008. That slide didn't end until spring 2013, putting it among the index's biggest underperformers in the past few years. But all of this changed in the second half of 2013, when AK Steel staged a massive outperforming rally as it blew higher to the tune of just about 200% into a late-December top. The December top coincided with a multiyear diagonal resistance line that dates back to early 2010 on the weekly logarithmic chart below.
In the medium term, this diagonal resistance area, currently around the $7.70 area, is an important level to watch for if the stock can overcome it, plenty of more upside opens up.
On the daily time frame, Tuesday's rally was technically significant not only from a price-action point of view, but from a volume standpoint, too. AKS stock usually averages around 9 million shares per day, but traded nearly 27 million shares Tuesday.
In terms of price action, on Monday, after AKS stock found lateral support at a consolidation price zone from early December and closed off the day's lows, it gapped higher at the open Tuesday and never looked back. As a result, the stock staged a great two-day turnaround and quickly also moved back above its 50-day simple moving average (yellow).
From here, AKS stock now should have enough new upside momentum to again work itself higher toward the December highs over coming weeks/months. Tuesday's lows can now be used as a stop-loss area of last resort.

Middlebrooks plates five for PawSox
Rehabbing third baseman blasts go-ahead three-run homer
By Brandon Simes / Special to MLB.com | June 5, 2013 8:41 PM ET
Will Middlebrooks is making his case for a quick return to Fenway Park.
In the second game of his Triple-A rehab stint, the Red Sox third baseman homered and drove in five runs Wednesday night to help Pawtucket rally for a 7-4 victory over Charlotte at McCoy Stadium.
Slated to play seven innings, Middlebrooks put the PawSox in front with a three-run blast to right-center field in the bottom of the seventh. He connected on a 3-1 pitch from right-handed reliever Jhan Marinez (2-4).
"For Will, I think he gets in trouble when he tries to pull too many pitches," Pawtucket manager Gary DiSarcina said. "Like any hitter, when he starts to get a little antsy, he starts to pull off the ball. He goes gap to gap and he's so darn strong. Balls that normally are doubles for other hitters carry out to right-center."
Middlebrooks, who's returning from a strained lower back, said he's feeling better. And he agreed with his manager's assessment.
"When I'm going well, that's what I'm doing," Middlebrooks told the Providence Journal. "I got one right down the middle and hit it well."
The 24-year-old is 3-for-5 with a pair of walks in his first two games with the PawSox. He's drawn 20 walks in 441 at-bats with Boston.
"He looked good at the plate. He has his strike zone discipline going right now," DiSarcina said. "He had some good swings and his back was not bothering him. He made some plays at third. The bottom line is he left the game healthy."
With Jose Iglesias hitting .426 and playing stellar defense at third base, the Red Sox are considering letting Middlebrooks extend his Triple-A stay beyond Saturday, the first day he's eligible to come off the disabled list. Middlebrooks has a .642 OPS with Boston, down dramatically from the .834 mark he posted as a rookie last season.
"This isn't going to be based on batting average [at Triple-A]," Red Sox manager John Farrell told MLB.com. "I think it's more important that as he was showing more consistently before the injury, the ability to drive the ball into right-center field. As we've talked many times over, that's when he's at his best. [He just needs] to take his normal, natural approach and repeat it. That's what we're looking for."
Middlebrooks is slated to play nine innings at third base on Thursday.
"He's here until Friday and he'll be re-evaluated Friday after he plays nine innings," DiSarcina said.
Pedro Beato picked up the win (4-1) with 1 1/3 scoreless innings and Anthony Carter struck out two in a 1-2-3 ninth for his eighth save.
Jeremy Hazelbaker also homered for Pawtucket, while Blake Tekotte went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored for the Knights.

"Dedication To My Ex" By Lloyd Is The Women's Studies Dept Worst Nightmare (NSFW)
What is there to say about "Dedication To My Ex," the catchy pop song by Lloyd all about his ex's vagina? I mean, really, what should I say? I've been sitting here typing and deleting and typing again and … I just don't know what to say. "Dedication To My Ex" is a super-catchy pop song that could have been written and performed by Hanson, if only the lyrics were not all about an unnamed ex and how her "p**sy done changed."
In the most extreme objectification and commodification of the vadge that you'll probably ever hear in a pop song, Lloyd, Lil Wayne and Andre 3000 implore this woman "tell me where that p**sy go / because it don't feel the same no more" and asks, pleadingly, "why is this happening to me? / she told me that it was my p**sy." (These are the NSFW lyrics; there is a cleaned up version of the song — "the radio edit" –where he sings "I miss that lovin'" instead of "I miss that p**sy.") If all that's not gross enough, as a bow on top, in lyrics towards the end of the song he sings "I'm about to kill this bitch." The song finishes with Lloyd saying "F**k that bitch" and then laughing.
It's not the use of the word "p**sy" in a song that I object to or even a guy singing an ode to it. It's that it's such a possessive song that completely characterizes this woman and her vagina as dirty, bad, and gross after she's cheated. That's what the singer is lamenting — the quality of "his" p**sy. The p**sy is the woman and the woman/p**sy is Lloyd's possession, repeatedly referring to her vagina as "my s**t" and wondering what she did with his vagina. As blogger Ali Trachta put it at the L.A. Weekly, it's "dehumanizing."
Like I said, I don't even know what to say about this misogyny. I like the music in the song; I'm just tired by the hatred some artists, especially hip hop artists, have towards women. It's sad that such a catchy, upbeat, fun song scrapes the bottom of the barrel to distinguish itself. [L.A. Weekly]
[I just want to mention that this song is basically the male equivalent of "Smell Yo Dick" by Riskay. Check out the link to that video above. — Editor]


text: Greetings, I have a problem that started with the previous version of iTunes, I cant recall the number but it was right before 7.6.1. Now every time I connect my iPod, it syncs automatically, erases all songs and then disconnects, I then select to sync all music, but It "cannot find the disc" because it disconnected on its own. I tried it on another computer, and it worked just fine, I was able to sync it perfectly . (The other pc runs XP 32bit) So the problem has to be my iTunes, I use Windows XP x64, and I get the "iTunes not propperly installed, you must reinstall to burn cds" error message whenever I start the program. I reinstalled iTunes already once, but to no avail . What can I do? Thanks in advance

As much as I struggle to find them at times, words are as important to me as air. Writing is another form of breathing. Sometimes the breath is smooth and steady and other times it's hard and labored, much like life. For me, writing is a way to discover myself and articulate the emotions I'm feeling. It isn't always easy for me to do, articulate my feelings and emotions, but I do my best to try. Not only with myself but with those I love.
Sometimes the feelings are so strong that it's almost as if I'm being pushed to express them, to put them into words and to tell that person what I feel. Perhaps it's the Universe's way of communicating to them, through me. Maybe it's just that we don't say things to each other often enough. Good things. Nice things.
"I think you're awesome."
"You are beautiful inside and out."
"I was thinking of you today and just wanted you to know."
"You can do anything you set your mind to."
"I'm proud of you."
"I'm proud to be your friend."
Good things. Nice things. Things that make us not feel so alone or unnoticed.
Words are powerful and I am so grateful for them. They give me the ability to express my feelings and communicate with my friends and loved ones. They have the power to melt my heart, get it racing and make me think.
Writing brings me more joy and more sorrow than you could ever imagine. For instance, this blog post is not exactly what I had in mind but it'll do. It's somewhere in between the joy and sorrow spectrum. But other things that I've written, the short stories Her and First Ride, those bring me great joy because they flowed from my heart and onto the page almost effortlessly. It's those times when I'm most in touch with me that the writing flows in copious amounts and the joy from it follows.
So, today I am grateful for words and writing and all of the emotions and life that they both create and express.
I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all. ~Richard Wright, American Hunger, 1977

I don't want to try to remember just how young I was when the first Chucky movie was released (or the fact that I know instantly that it wasn't referred to as a Chucky movie in the title, what with it originally being called CHILD'S PLAY and all). I don't even want to think about the fact that the unseen star from that series of films now has a daughter who is old enough to be the star of its latest installment, CURSE OF CHUCKY. What I do want to think about is what you think of her hotness, this being the Hot or Not column and all.
Fiona Dourif
Fiona Dourif not only is old enough to be a great visual successor to her father, Brad Dourif (aka, the dude behind the iconic voice of that demonic little redheaded doll), she's surprisingly already into her third decade. With a birthday one day before Halloween and a father who's huge in the horror industry, Fiona Dourif's career was laid out for her long before she was old enough to get into showings of her dad's movies.
I know little about Fiona's acting career other than her reoccurring role on "True Blood" during its fourth season. Nepotism being the word in Hollywood and all and with a surname as famous as her father's (among those of us who love cinema and know who Brad Dourif is even if we're not huge horror fans), I can't blame her for taking the somewhat "easy" route of acting.
There's a little too much "crazy eyes" going on for me to consider Fiona to be a beautiful woman in the grand scheme of actresses and all but for what she's in the industry for, the offspring of Chucky is high up in the ranks of beauties. Unique enough to stand out while fit enough to make her a nice package to look at, I'd say that Fiona is a Hot Horror Babe, even if not the hottest babe all-around.
What do you think of Fiona Dourif?
