NCAA falls under even more scrutiny
Charges of academic fraud at North Carolina may ultimately cast more of a searing light on the NCAA than the school where the alleged wrongdoing occurred.
And Penn State fans aren't the only ones waiting to see if NCAA president Mark Emmert takes action following a recent show of muscle in University Park that left him open to charges of hypocrisy.
"The NCAA has conducted investigations and imposed penalties in similar cases of academic fraud, so I find it curious that the NCAA decides not to intercede in this instance," said Michael Buckner, a South Florida-based attorney whose law firm represents colleges and individuals in NCAA cases.
Emmert has not indicated whether his organization will discipline North Carolina despite charges that athletes took no-show classes over a five-year period — one that overlapped with an NCAA investigation of the school for academic impropriety.
Yahoo columnist Pat Forde wrote last week that the NCAA has to do more than just show it can "hit a bloated target at close range," his characterization of the punishment Emmert meted out at Penn State for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Buckner wondered how the NCAA could exceed its jurisdiction with a criminal matter at Penn State but allow North Carolina to handle a widespread cheating scandal internally.
NCAA brass did not return a phone message late last week seeking comment.
"It goes back to my original concern and complaint at how the NCAA treated Penn State, that now it's going to be up to the judgment of Emmert to decide (whether an issue) violates what he calls the core NCAA principles of morality, honesty, sportsmanship and ethics," Buckner said. "I don't think the membership appointed Emmert dictator or, even a lesser term, the commissioner of the NCAA."
Emmert, with the backing of an executive board composed of college presidents and chancellors, levied unprecedented sanctions against Penn State for what he called a football culture run amok. The NCAA used the Penn State-commissioned Freeh Report as the basis for sanctions that included a $60 million fine and a loss of football scholarships.
Cedric Dempsey, a former executive director of the NCAA, said he didn't have a problem with the punishment because of the heinous crimes committed by Sandusky, a former assistant football coach, while Sandusky still had access to Penn State facilities.
Dempsey did have concerns, however, with how the NCAA arrived at that punishment.
The executive branch usurped the judicial branch, even though the two are supposed to have equal power alongside the legislative branch. The NCAA has been criticized in the past for not acting quickly or boldly enough to discipline schools that run afoul of the rules, but Emmert achieved both in punishing Penn State.
"I do think, at times, there needs to be a process that expedites decision-making a little bit more, and I think they're working on that right now," said Dempsey, the NCAA's executive director from 1994-2003. "At the same time, I hope we don't disrupt what has been a reasonably effective process over the years except for the delay and length of time it takes sometimes in decision-making. I'd hate to see us lose the judiciary aspect of the association."
The lack of due process afforded to Penn State by the NCAA has resulted in a disconnect between a significant segment of alumni and leadership that wants the embattled school to move forward. The board of trustees has stood behind university president Rodney Erickson despite a few of its members' opposition to the sanctions to which Erickson consented.
One of the more bellicose voices in standing up to the NCAA belongs, coincidentally, to a Pitt graduate who was unsuccessfully recruited by former Nittany Lions coach Joe Paterno in the late 1960s.
Ralph Cindrich, a Carnegie-based lawyer and NFL agent, said the sanctions are unlawful and will have negative repercussions for the state.
"This school and the people didn't deserve it, and to talk the way (the NCAA does) about the school and the program to me is just too far from the truth and reality of what goes on," Cindrich said. "The fraud that (the NCAA perpetuates) of amateurism is just astounding to me."
Cindrich is examining ways he can get the NCAA into court, and he said he has talked to high-profile Penn State alumni in the area about legal action.
"I've never seen anything as wrong as this," Cindrich said, "and that's what bothers me."
ESPN college football analyst Todd Blackledge said the NCAA raised the stakes when it punished Penn State — as well as expectations for disciplining schools that commit major rules violations.
"I think everybody's going to be looking at everything that comes after that because what the NCAA chose to do in the case of Penn State was clearly unprecedented, and there were some of us that would think it was probably extreme," said Blackledge, a former Penn State quarterback. "I think there will be a lot of people that will be paying attention to what the NCAA does from here on out."

Are you confused about the difference between your artist biography and artist statement? I'm here to help!
See if these explanations give you a better picture of these two documents.
Artist Biography
Your professional artist bio is kind of like your résumé in paragraph form (but less boring). It highlights your top accomplishments — usually with the most recent and most important at top.
Your bio gets to the point. It's not a place for you to share everything you've ever done or get into your personal life.
Your bio is written in 3rd person unless it's an autobiography, in which case you'd use the 1st person.
Artist Statement
Your artist statement is about your art, not about you. More to the point, it's about the current direction of your work, not a history of how you got to this point.
Your artist statement is written in the 1st person. After all, it is a statement.
About Page
About pages are an Internet feature where your artist bio and statement come together. They should be less formal than the proper bio you would use to share with a museum or gallery.
How you approach your About page depends on your goals as an artist, but there should be text about both you and your art on this page. I'm fond of About pages that use humor combined with an interesting twist on serious facts. I tried to do that on the Art Biz Coach About page.

HF radar systems are widely and routinely used for the measurement of ocean surface currents and waves. Analysis methods presently in use are based on the assumption of infinite water depth, and may therefore be inadequate close to shore where the radar echo is strongest. In this paper, we treat the situation when the radar echo is returned from ocean waves that interact with the ocean floor. Simulations are described which demonstrate the effect of shallow water on radar sea-echo. These are used to investigate limits on the existing theory and to define water depths at which shallow-water effects become significant. The second-order spectral energy increases relative to the first-order as the water depth decreases, resulting in spectral saturation when the waveheight exceeds a limit defined by the radar transmit frequency. This effect is particularly marked for lower radar transmit frequencies. The saturation limit on waveheight is less for shallow water. Shallow water affects second-order spectra (which gives wave information) far more than first-order (which gives information on current velocities), the latter being significantly affected only for the lowest radar transmit frequencies for extremely shallow water. We describe analysis of radar echo from shallow water measured by a Rutgers University HF radar system to give ocean wave spectral estimates. Radar-derived wave height, period and direction are compared with simultaneous shallow-water in-situ measurements.
HF radar systems are widely used internationally to provide continuous monitoring of ocean waves and currents for a large range of environmental conditions.
Within the US, coastal ocean current mapping with HF radar has matured to the point where it is now considered an important component of regional ocean observing systems. A mid-Atlantic HF radar network now provides high resolution coverage within five localized networks, which are linked together to cover the full range of the mid-Atlantic coastal ecosystem. Similar regional networks around the US coastline are being formed into a national HF radar network.
While much of the focus of these networks until now has been on offshore current mapping observations, a longer-term objective is to develop and evaluate near-shore measures of waves and currents. These investigations aim to understand the interaction of waves in the shallow coastal waters and how energy is transformed into the creation of dangerous rip currents along the New-Jersey/Long-Island shorelines. Rutgers University radars cover these coastal regions at multiple frequencies from 4.5 to 25 MHz. Their echoes contain information on both currents and waves from deep water up into the shallow coastal zone, providing an excellent archive for such studies. This paper describes the analysis of both simulated and measured radar echo to demonstrate the effect of shallow water on radar observations and their interpretation.
Radar sea-echo spectra consist of dominant first-order peaks surrounded with lower-energy second-order structure. Analysis methods presently in use assume that the waves do not interact with the ocean floor, see [
The assumption of deep water is often invalid close to the coast and for broad continental shelves, and is particularly inadequate to describe the second-order sea-echo used to give information on ocean waves., as second-order echo is often visible above the noise only for close ranges. To interpret this echo correctly, we show that the effects of shallow water must be taken into consideration.
In Section 2, we give the basic equations describing radar echo from shallow water, expanding on the previous description given in [
It follows from the solution of the equations of motion and continuity that long ocean waves are more affected by shallow water. We define the depth at which waves interact with the ocean floor by the approximate relation:
Applying the lowest-order shallow-water dispersion equation to first-order backscatter from the sea gives the following equations for
The electromagnetic coupling coefficient has the same form as for deep water [
The total radar coupling coefficient Γ
It can be shown from these equations that at constant wavenumber, the coupling coefficient increases as the water depth decreases, resulting in an increasing ratio of second- to first-order energy as the depth decreases.
In the following analysis, we assume that the deep-water directional wave spectrum is spatially homogeneous and that any inhomogeneity in shallow water arises from wave refraction. When energy dissipation can be neglected, it follows from linear wave theory that since the total energy of the wavefield, is conserved, the shallow-water wave spectrum expressed in the appropriate variables is equal to the deep-water spectrum [
The shallow- and deep-water rms waveheights are given by:
The first- and second-order radar cross sections in shallow water at frequency
To compute the second-order integral in
To calculate the integral in
Frequency contours are defined by:
Frequency contours are hence also discontinuous due to this effect at deep-water wave angles defined by
The discontinuities in the frequency contours are more pronounced when the contour is drawn in shallow-water wavenumber space, as it follows from
It can be seen from
The effects of shallow-water on measured radar spectra are illustrated in
To gain insight into the effects of shallow water, simulated radar echo spectra were calculated for a narrow-beam radar, using the model directional wave spectrum defined in [
For our model it follows from
This relationship is of course independent of radar frequency and has many angle symmetries.
It can be seen from
It follows from
It can be seen from
It can be seen from

Since the coupling coefficient increases as the depth decreases, it follows from
It can be seen from
This subsection demonstrates an important point. Since we have shown that the waveheight itself actually decreases slightly upon moving into shallow water, while the second-order echo increases significantly due to the rapid growth of the coupling coefficient, wrongly using deep-water inversion theory to estimate waveheight will overestimate this important quantity. We note that all previous treatments and demonstrations of wave extraction have been based on deep-water theory, even when in fact many of the radar observations have been made in shallow water.
When the magnitude of the second-order energy approaches that of the first-order, it is apparent that the perturbation expansions on which
For shallow-water, the saturation of the radar spectrum is exacerbated by the increase of the coupling coefficient and the radar spectrum saturates for waveheights less than that defined by
In practice the theory may fail before this limit is reached.
For waveheights above the saturation limit, the waveheight predicted by the theory will be too high. However the theory cannot be applied at all when the second-order spectrum merges with the first, as then separation is not possible.
We estimate depths for which shallow-water effects become significant as follows: For first-order echo, the depth limit is defined by equality in
The results presented here are based on analysis of 10-minute radar spectra measured by a 25MHz SeaSonde located at Breezy Point, NJ. The time period from December 29 to 30, 2005, was chosen because simultaneous coverage provided by the SeaSonde and a bottom-mounted ADCP allowed a direct comparison to be made between results from the two sensors. The ADCP was located in the second radar range cell in water of depth 8m. The bathymetry in the area and the locations of the two sensors are shown in
In our analysis, depth contours near the radar are assumed to be parallel to shore and the depth profile is obtained from
Lipa and Barrick [
As described in [
The first- and second-order regions are separated. The first order region is analyzed to give the ocean wave spectrum at the Bragg wavenumber. It is assumed that deep-water theory is adequate for this step, as Bragg waves are short and hence insensitive to the effects f shallow water, see Second-order radar spectral data is collected from the four second-order sidebands of 10-minute averaged cross spectra and fit to a model of the deep-water ocean wave spectrum. Least-squares fitting to the radar Fourier coefficients is used to derive estimates of the significant wave height, centroid period and direction. During this step, the second-order spectrum is effectively normalized by the first-order, eliminating unknown multiplicative factors produced by antenna gains, path losses etc. Shallow-water analysis requires a further step: The shallow-water wave spectrum is calculated from the deep-water spectrum using

This model has proven satisfactory for use in deep-water wave extraction software that produces waveheight, period, and direction. It has been used for real-time SeaSonde systems for many years, providing good agreement with in-situ measurements e.g. as shown in [
It can be seen from
To emphasize the necessity of taking shallow water into account for this location, we estimated the waveheight assuming infinitely deep water.
We have presented the theory of narrow-beam HF radar sea-echo from shallow water and illustrated the effect of decreasing water depth using simulations for a simple swell model of the ocean wave spectrum. The second-order spectral energy increases relative to the first-order as the water depth decreases, resulting in spectral saturation when the waveheight exceeds a limit defined by the radar transmit frequency. This effect is particularly marked for lower radar transmit frequencies. For waveheights above the saturation limit, the perturbation expansions on which Barrick's
The shallow-water theory was then extended to apply to broad-beam systems such as the SeaSonde and applied to the interpretation of two days of radar data measured by a 25Mhz SeaSonde located on the New Jersey shore. During the measurement period, a storm passed over the area. An ADCP was operated in the second radar range cell in water 8m deep. Radar results were compared with simultaneous ADCP measurements. The comparison confirms aspects of the theory presented in Section 3. For the longer period waves occurring after the passage of the storm front, the standard deviation between SeaSonde and ADCP waveheight measurements decreased by a factor of three when the effects of shallow water were included in the analysis, and the bias decreased by a factor of five. Possible explanations for the remaining discrepancies are (a) the assumption of parallel depth contours (b) the assumption that the wave spectrum is homogeneous in the circular radar range cell (c) saturation in the radar spectrum around the peak of the storm, which, as discussed in Section 3, leads to the over-prediction of the waveheight.
Measured radar and buoy wave data from New Jersey as well as its analysis were funded through the New Jersey NOAA Sea Grant program.

Eyebrows can make or break your entire look, according to practically every makeup artist and brow expert we've ever talked to. They can make your eyes look droopy when they're not, or make you look angry when, in fact, you're not. This is why it's essential to be very cautious when grooming your own brows. There is a very fine line between a perfectly shaped brow and an overly tweezed brow. If you think about it, your brows (even when big and bushy) have very little real estate on your face. One or two plucks too many can leave you with a pretty scary shape. Here, we share the common mistakes most women make when it comes to grooming their own eyebrows. If you're guilty of any of them, don't freak out (hey, even celebrities slip up in the eyebrow department, as proven in these celebrity photos). With the help of brow guru Kristie Streicher, who operates out of the Warren Tricomi Salon in New York City and Los Angeles, you can work to correct them in no time. Or if you're too nervous to take matters into your own hands, see a brow expert who can help you assess what you need to do in order to get the most flattering brow shape for you.

This time of year my skin gets unbearably dry...especially now that I am back in Arizona. Finding a lotion that actually moisturizes and is affordable isn't an easy task...NEW VASELINE® SHEER INFUSION™ WITH STRATYS-3™ works ...and it is an amazing $7.99
No other leading lotion delivers this kind of moisturization! A breakthrough multi-layer moisture complex with avec/Stratys 3 (learn more about this technology http://www.vaselinesheerinfusion.com/ ) gives deep hydration with a surprisingly light, silky after-feel. It goes on smoothly not greasy. I find I don't have to reapply , All three scents are Divine! I am crazy about Mineral Renewal...
Botanical Blend (soothing skin benefits)
hints of Fiji apple and Chinese mandarin,
water lily and stephanotis flowers and
Baltic amber and musk
Mineral Renewal (for when your skin feels tired and depleted)
blend of crisp pear, fresh bergamot,
and the floralcy of apple blossom and
white peony with a hint of ginger essence
Vitamin Burst (containing vitamins B5 and E, for those whose skin needs
a boost)
Ferngully scent includes blend of sparkling citrus
and red currant berries,
pear and rhubarb, and enlivening flowers and spices
Vaseline really is keeping skin beautiful

A Glamorous Way to Track Your Health
Studies show that glass-half-empty types don't live as long as those who look on the bright side.
When pessimists put a more positive spin on the calamities in their lives, they have less stress and better health. A classic UCLA study found that law students who began their first semester optimistic about the experience had more helper T cells mid semester, which can amplify the immune response, and more powerful natural killer cells, than students who had a more pessimistic perspective. One reason could be that optimists take better care of themselves. It could also be due to less stress-related damage to the immune system, such as killer cells that suddenly become pacifists.
What to do: Personality is tough to change, look for reasons—however small—to feel lucky every day. Sounds hokey, but try striking up a dinner table conversation with your family where you all share a couple of good things that happened every day.

In addition to its technology experiments, ATS-6 became the world's first educational satellite. During its 5 year life, ATS-6 transmitted educational programming to India, the US and other countries. The vehicle also conducted air traffic control tests, was used to practice satellite-assisted search and rescue techniques, carried an experimental radiometer subsequently carried as a standard instrument aboard weather satellites, and pioneered direct broadcast TV. The satellite also played a major role in the Apollo/Soyuz docking in 1975 when it relayed signals to the Houston Control center. It was boosted above GEO when thruster failures threatened to prevent further control of the spacecraft.

Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers require regular inspections and maintenance. Refer to the manufacturers recommendations regarding exact details for your extinguisher. Placement, maintenance, and inspections are all very important to ensure that your extinguisher will operate when required.
Take the time at work or at home to familiarize yourself with available extinguishers and for what class of fire they are designed to be used on. The wrong extinguisher on the wrong class of fire can be devastating.
Pull- Step 1, Pull the pin out of the handle. To break the plastic extinguisher tie, twist the pin. These ties are specific to fire extinguishers to hold the pins in, but will also break easily when required to be removed. DO NOT REPLACE THESE TIES WITH REGULAR TWIST TIES.
Aim- Step 2, Aim the nozzle of the extinguisher at the base of the fire from a safe distance. The distance recommended by manufacturers is generally in writing on the extinguisher itself but may vary.
Squeeze- Step 3, Squeeze the handle of the extinguisher to begin spraying the contents. Fire extinguishers will only be useful on the size of fire that they are rated for. See manufacturer's recommendations.
Sweep- Step 4, Once you begin spraying the contents of the extinguisher at the base of the fire, sweep the nozzle back and forth until fire is completely extinguished.
Types of Fire Extinguishers
Multipurpose (ABC) Dry Chemical
Multipurpose (ABC) dry chemical extinguishers contain an ammonium phosphate base which can be used on all types of fires and is the least expensive of the extinguishing agents. The most common size is 2:A-10:B-C and weighs about five pounds.
Wet Chemical (K)
The Class K extinguisher is the ideal choice for use on cooking appliances including deep fat fryers and solid fuel cooking appliances. They contain a low PH potassium acetate base. The extinguishing agent discharges as a fine mist which helps prevent grease splash and fire reflash while cooling the appliance.
Clean Agents
Clean agent fire extinguishers do not leave a residue and are rated ABC or BC depending on size. Halon 1211 is a clean agent that is commonly found around computer systems and electronic equipment. Because of environmental concerns, fire extinguishing clean agents known as halocarbons are now the recommended alternative.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
CO2 extinguishers may be used on most mechanical and electrical fires. Because they are less effective on ordinary combustible (class A) fires, CO2 fire extinguishers are usually only rated BC depending on the size of the extinguisher.
Pressurized Water
Pressurized water extinguishers are designed for use on ordinary combustible (class A) fires only. Use of water on fires involving flammable liquids and energized electrical equipment can be very dangerous.

When a couple gets married it is with the hope that the relationship will last forever. However, all individuals are on an emotional journey. Each is evolving from one aspect of life to another and often the kind of things they seek at 25 when they are married are not those they might want 15 years later when they turn 40. If partners have not kept up with each other, or kept the love alive, the relationship will go into decline, with the husband, most likely, voting with his feet.
There are six sure signs that your husband is not interested in you anymore and they gradually become unmistakable, except that some people, if they are feeling that way too, either fail to notice them or prefer to live in denial and refuse to see them.
First: He spends as little time at home as possible.
Many men like to use the pressure of work as an excuse for not being at home but when there is something exciting to go home for, work will give way to desire more often than not. If one is going home to boredom, nothingness, doom and gloom, blame, no affection or no sex, what's the point in rushing home at all? Many men tend to either become workaholics or use work as an excuse to escape the drabness of their lives and to mask the feelings they no longer experience. That is why it then becomes easier to begin an affair at work without it being noticed initially.
Second: He stops appreciating and complimenting.
When did your husband last pay you a compliment or appreciate something you have done? Once a man starts taking things for granted and stops valuing what his partner does, the writing is on the wall. People become mean with praise when they think the other person does not deserve it, especially where there is resentment and bitterness in place. Once a man begins to believe his partner is undeserving, the interest has clearly gone.
Third: There is a lot of blame and accusations.
This is the biggest tell-tale sign of disinterest in a relationship. Blames take the place of compliments and loving acts. Gradually one party finds that she can do no right, which gets worse if the husband is having an affair too. He will be constantly comparing the two women in his life and the wife will always be found wanting. She won't be able to please him anymore because someone is already doing that, hence she becomes a scapegoat instead, primarily to ease his guilt and discomfort!
Fourth: Most activities between the couple stops.
When last were you wined and dined? Taken for a romantic weekend together? Did anything exciting to affirm the love between you? This key aspect is one of the first to stop when the husband has lost interest. He no longer finds it exciting or enjoyable doing anything with his wife and so the excuses begin. In the heady days of courtship people cannot bear to be apart from each other, they want to spend as much time together as possible, to share times and activities. If that has stopped, that's a very bad sign of interest on the wane. It could be that he is already doing those activities with someone else too.
Fifth: Communication gradually dries up.
When people cease to be interested in one another one of the worst tasks is to talk to each other. They find that really difficult because there is nothing they really want to say which is positive or endearing. They stop seeing eye to eye, which turns everything into a conflict, and they cease to enjoy connecting with one another. When men have lost interest in their wives they become perfunctory in conversation, which becomes functional than enhancing. Conversing loses its excitement and purpose so there is as little of it as possible.
Sixth: Affection and sex disappear.
This is the biggest tell-tale sign of a husband not desiring his partner. There is very little affection and virtually no sex. Once again, if a wife wants to tell the difference, she only has to think back to the courtship days. Sexual activities might decline somewhat as people live together longer, but affection usually increases as the relationship becomes more deep. It doesn't get less because people tend to grow towards each other in even more loving ways, once they are living together. If there is hardly any affection and even less sex, especially if the wife desires it and isn't getting much, then the husband is in avoidance. It will be a matter of time before he seeks it elsewhere.
A relationship consists of four essential things: loving, affirming, conversing and sharing. When they are no longer there, especially when a husband stops doing them, he clearly has lost interest.

Ark. Senate passes measure to ban most abortions
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The Arkansas Senate voted Thursday to prohibit most abortions if a heartbeat is detected, ignoring warnings from opponents that banning the procedure as early as six weeks into a pregnancy would invite lawsuits.
If enacted, the ban would be the most stringent in the nation. The Ohio House passed a similar ban in 2011, but it was sidelined in the Senate last year over concerns that it might be found unconstitutional. Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe told reporters Thursday that's the same concern that he's researching.
"I'm waiting on lawyers. I think that's the big concern right now - does it run afoul of the Supreme Court or constitutional restrictions?" Beebe said. "That's the first thing we're looking at."
The Senate approved the new ban the same day that a House committee advanced two other abortion restrictions, part of a package of legislation anti-abortion groups believe are poised to become law now that Republicans control the state General Assembly.
The Senate approved the proposed "Arkansas Human Heartbeat Protection Act" by a 26-8 vote. The measure, which now heads to a House committee, requires a test to detect a fetal heartbeat before an abortion is performed. If one is detected, a woman could not have an abortion, except in cases of rape, incest and if a mother's life is in danger.
Similar legislation is also being considered in North Dakota and Mississippi. All have faced complaints from abortion rights groups that it runs afoul of the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion up until viability, usually at 22 to 24 weeks.
"I'm asking you to stand up for life, and I believe when there is a heartbeat, based upon even the standard the Supreme Court has utilized, you cannot have a viable child without a heartbeat," Sen. Jason Rapert, the bill's sponsor, told lawmakers before they approved the legislation.
Five Democrats joined all 21 of the Senate's Republicans to vote for the restriction. Two Democratic lawmakers who spoke out against the bill said they believed it would be an invasion of women's rights to make decisions about their own health if the state enacted the ban.
"I don't want to go back to when women used kerosene and clothes hangers because they didn't have a choice," Sen. Linda Chesterfield, D-Little Rock, told lawmakers.

4. Heehaw! The GOP took over the majority in the Arkansas House and Senate in January. So
far, they have about a dozen anti-abortion, anti-education, and anti-worker bills floating. And this week, they decided that it's just great to desecrate a church by carrying loaded guns! I intend to be out of here within the next 24 months.
First time they've had control in the last 138 years and they are bound and determined to catch up with the nuts in Arizona, Kansas, Alabama, etc.

5. It's getting darker and darker...
As our society, led by a bunch of religious control freaks, slumps back into the dark ages.
They want to glorify the Duggars and punish the woman who doesn't want to bear a child, then condemn that woman for being pregnant in the first place.

LOS ANGELES (Apr. 17)
The trial of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan for the slaying of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, which the Palestinian-born Arab youth sought to make an anti-Israel forum, a propaganda effort backed by Arab guerrilla groups, ended today with a verdict of guilty of first degree murder. The verdict meant that Sirhan faced the possibility of death in a California gas chamber or life in prison. The same jurors will begin deliberation of the sentence. The trial lasted 15 weeks but the determination of the sentence was expected to be made within a few days.
Early in the trial, Sirhan testified that he had witnessed "brutal" acts by the Jews during the 1948 War of Independence and that this was why he hated the Senator and had decided to kill him for his support of Israel's cause. However, fears that the defendant would use the witness chair throughout the whole trial for such statements proved unfounded.
Much of the arguments between defense and prosecution revolved around the question of the degree of Sirhan's sanity. The jury obviously believed the prosecution argument that Sirhan was a liar who was using the pretext of "amnesia" to avoid a possible death sentence. However, Sirhan consistently upset his defense attorneys by denying he was mentally ill, and he told psychiatrists that he wanted to be a hero and a martyr in the eyes of the Arab world. He did contend, in his testimony, that he could not remember the actual shooting or that he had written in a notebook that he intended to kill the Senator because Mr. Kennedy had promised to send 50 Phantom jet fighter-bombers to Israel if he was elected President. In a trial in which Sirhan repeatedly clashed with both prosecution and defense attorneys, the youth displayed great agitation when the prosecution disclosed the content of the notebook. The Senator was killed in Los Angeles last June 5, the date marking the first anniversary of the beginning of the Six-Day War.

Taliban attacks killed six international soldiers in Afghanistan's south, the alliance and Afghan authorities said on Thursday, as the war drags on towards its 10th year.
Four Afghan civilians were also killed and three wounded during a NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) operation to flush out the militants, the alliance said.
Three of the NATO-led soldiers were killed in a single improvised explosive bomb blast on Thursday, while the other three died in separate attacks.
The deaths bring to 547 the number of foreign soldiers to die in the Afghan war so far this year, according to an AFP tally based on that kept by the icasualties.org website. The 2009 toll was 521.
ISAF did not disclose the nationalities of the deceased soldiers but most troops deployed in the south, heartland of the Taliban insurgency, are American, Canadian and British.
ISAF said the civilians were killed and wounded during an operation in Andar district of Ghazni province, in the east, on Wednesday.
"The tragic incident occurred after combined Afghan and coalition forces came under effective small-arms fire from approximately eight insurgents," an ISAF statement said.
"An air weapons team fired in an attempt to protect the Afghan-coalition troops from the insurgent attack, but instead accidentally struck a group of unarmed civilians, killing four and injuring three others."
Rear Admiral Greg Smith, ISAF Director of Communication, said: "We deeply regret that our operation resulted in civilian loss of life and we express our sincerest condolences to the families."
The force is conducting a formal investigation.
In a separate incident also involving ISAF troops in the south, a suicide bomber detonated a bomb-laden sedan near an alliance convoy, killing three Afghan civilians nearby, Afghan officials said.
ISAF confirmed the attack and said none of its soldiers had been injured.
The force said it had evacuated a dozen Afghans injured in the blast outside the troubled city of Kandahar, which was the capital of the Taliban's regime which ruled Afghanistan from 1996-2001.
NATO and the United States have more than 152,000 soldiers in Afghanistan fighting the insurgency, which has intensified to its most virulent since the Islamists' regime was overthrown.
The war has gathered pace every year since it was launched by remnants of the Taliban toppled from power in a US-led invasion in 2001.

You know, that story always makes me laugh about a 5 year old whipping off his mom's top and nursing away. It makes me laugh how often I hear it, so man, there must be a WHOLE lot of 5 year olds still nursing I think that most often the story is being made up in some way.... maybe someone they knew breastfed until the child was 5 or maybe it was a 2 year old who did the yanking of the shirt and it just makes for a better story to inflate the child's age so they get more shock from others. (and I am not saying there is anything wrong with nursing a 5 year old or nursing in public, just that I doubt there are THAT many so that every story could be true)
My neighbor tried to tell me this story a few months back and I answered with, "Right on! Good for her!!!" he didn't know how to respond to me. Then we informed him that at 9 1/2 months pregnant with my daughter, I was still breastfeeding my 2 year old and that we believe in child led weaning, so our kids may end up nursing up to that age or so and it wasn't a big deal to us. Funny how quickly he tried to backtrack on his story then to make it seem like he didn't see it as a big deal either (even though he was venting away about how wrong it was earlier). Now I giggle when I think of the stories he is probably telling about me.... "She was hugely pregnant with quintuplets and still breastfeeding her 10 year old!"
I think people retell stories like this because they believe it will have shock value to the listener. Wouldn't it be great if when people heard one of these stories, they didn't bat and eye and responded with, "So?"
My son is almost 4, and he nurses in public. He is a groper, too.
Deal with it.
He is healthy, happy, secure, smart, and a wonderful child. I am a loving, responsible, happy, fun, and secure mommy that is doing what is best for my child. .

Targeting the Sleeping Fighter and
Other Hard Legal Issues:
A Discussion on the Use of Force in
Non-International Armed Conflicts
Monday, February 10, 2014
American University Washington College of Law
4801 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
Room 603
Should government forces be obligated to capture a rebel fighter located away from zones of active hostilities, or may they use lethal force as a first resort? Can a soldier automatically fire on a car barrelling through the check-point in a conflict zone, or on fighters who mingle with civilians during a riot? How should government forces respond to criminal gangs that support rebel fighters, or to fighters who are escaping from detention centers? In response to these types of questions that frequently arise in modern warfare, the ICRC convened an expert meeting on the use of force in non-international armed conflict, and published a report summarizing the findings of this meeting in late 2013 . The report highlights challenges militaries face when both human rights law and international humanitarian law may apply, thereby creating situations in which the relevant actors face difficulties identifying and applying the adequate legal framework.

In going on Paula Zahn's CNN show this evening, was Al Sharpton's goal to quell the controversy surrounding his comments about Mormonism, or to inflame it? If the former, he failed miserably. If the latter, he succeeded admirably. Far from retracting his earlier allegation that Mormons aren't real believers, he repeated it, adding an allegation of racism for good measure.
Let's recall Sharpton's original statement, that in going on the Zahn show he presumably was seeking to explicate. Debating Christopher Hitchens recently, Sharpton said:
"And as for the one Mormon running for office, those that really believe in God will defeat him anyway. So don't worry about that. That's a temporary, that's a temporary situation."
Discussing those comments on "Paula Zahn Now" this evening during the 8 PM EDT half-hour, Sharpton and Zahn discussed the fact that until 1965 [according to CNN], or 1978, according to Sharpton, the Mormon church did not accord blacks full status. That engendered the following exchange.
CNN HOST PAULA ZAHN: Prior to 1965 -
THE REVEREND AL SHARPTON: I think it's 1978.
ZAHN: Well, our researchers are using a different date. But prior to that date, when blacks were finally considered equals within the church, did you find the Mormon church racist?
SHARPTON: I think that's that by self-definition. If prior to '65, '78, whenever it was, they did not see blacks as equal, I do not believe that as real worshippers of God, because I do not believe that God distinguishes between people. That's not bigotry, that's responding to their bigotry.

Paul Lambert wants Aston Villa to secure survival in front of chairman Randy Lerner
Paul Lambert wants Aston Villa to secure their Premier League status in front of chairman Randy Lerner on Saturday.
Last Updated: 11/05/13 11:57am
American billionaire Lerner will be in the stands when Chelsea visit Villa Park and a victory for Villa would guarantee they cannot be caught by 18th-placed Wigan.
Lambert's side will also be looking to avenge their 8-0 defeat at Chelsea on December 23.
"You can get caught up in certain things," Lambert said of the Stamford Bridge humiliation. "The defeat hurt. But great credit to the team - they never got their heads down and wilted with it.
"They kept their heads and kept on going. Now the impression is there for all to see. We have been playing really well.
"We are a threat - everyone knows that. We have players who can hurt teams.
"I am pretty sure Chelsea will know we have lads on the top of their game at the minute. We know it's going to be hard.
"The beauty of it is that everyone except ourselves and our fans will expect Chelsea to win it because of the team they are.
"The onus is on us as the home team but we are certainly playing well enough to try and hurt them.
"We know we're in for a really hard game. They are going for a Champions League place. They have the Europa League final during the week.
"They are a really good side - everyone knows that. They are a top, top side. They won the Champions League last time out. We know how hard it is.
"But we're a different team to what we were then."
Lambert revealed he will discuss future plans with Lerner once Villa have put their relegation fears to bed.
"We haven't talked about it yet but we will probably do that if we get over the line," the Scot said. "We have discussed general things about how things are going. It's just been small talk.
"Randy has been great. He has been from day one. He's been really supportive. We just had a general chat (this week) - nothing too major. He was just up to see us. He has been really supportive all season."

22 years old // Sunset Beach, HI
You gotta love them Hos. From Papa Mike to Uncle Derek to brother Mason, Coco has something in common with each of her distinguished relatives: a smile that just won't quit. The Roxy Pro in Biarritz has proved stubborn because the waves…well, there are absolutely none. No storm clouds over Coco's head, though. It's France and Coco knows that every glass of pinot noir is always half-full. At least that's what her brother taught her. Recently, Coco's applying Mason's sunny attitude to her own ambitions on the Women's 'CT. And through some good results and a few tough beats, that cup might eventually runneth over. Or at the least, get topped off by a win. —Beau Flemister
COCO: This is my fifth year on tour and while I haven't gotten all of the results I've wanted, I feel like I'm surfing my best. I think that it's better to lose and feel good about yourself than to get a good result but feel like you're surfing badly. My surfing is still elevating and I'd really like to make more finals. I think it'll all fall into place soon.
I have a little rivalry with Sally [Fitzgibbons]. We qualified the same year and then battled the rest of it. Since then, she's literally gotten me on five buzzer beaters. I'm not kidding, [laughs] there'll be, like, a tenth of a second left and she'll catch one to beat me.
I think that every little sister's goal in life should be to make their family proud, or your big brother proud. It's so fulfilling. Every accomplishment, every good result has stemmed from trying to make them proud. My brother and I are really close. My other friends that have brothers don't get it and tell me that they fight all the time, but I could never say that. He's never really done anything cruel to me. The worst thing he's ever done was tell me that my donut was poisonous so that he could eat it. [laughs]
Since my brother barely ever gets mad, it makes me think that I need to be more like him. It helps me realize that it's a waste of time to be bummed on something, considering the amount of time that we have in this world. That's just how I see it now — half-full, no matter what.

Coulter, Wash. Times lied about Kerry campaign funding
Right-wing pundit Ann Coulter [1] asserted that Teresa Heinz Kerry is funding Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign -- a false claim that was subsequently repeated in an August 5 editorial [2] in The Washington Times. During her appearance on the August 4 edition of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes [3], Coulter also said that "looking at polls is phenomenally stupid" -- then proceeded to cite polling to downplay post-Democratic National Convention support for Kerry.
In discussing Heinz Kerry campaigning on behalf of the Kerry-Edwards '04 ticket, Coulter asserted that "[t]here's no one who can tell her to stop. She's funding that campaign." The next day, a Washington Times editorial [2] accused Heinz Kerry of having "used her immense inherited wealth for the second time in less than eight years to resuscitate her husband's faltering political career." The editorial alleged that "Kerry has deftly exploited [his wife's fortune] to his maximum political benefit -- first during his tightly contested 1996 Senate race and then during this year's Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses."
According to a June 2003 USA Today article titled "Kerry campaign says he can't tap wife's fortune [4]," "Under federal campaign law, assets solely under the control of Heinz Kerry, including those reported on Kerry's recent Senate disclosure form, cannot be used for the Democrat's presidential campaign." In fact, when the Kerry campaign was running out of money during the primary season, as The Washington Post reported [5], Kerry mortgaged his half of the home he shares with Heinz Kerry in Boston and put the $6.4 million to his own campaign. And contrary to The Washington Times' assertion that Kerry used his wife's money in his 1996 Senate campaign, the Boston Globe noted [6] in November 2003 that Kerry also used his Boston home as collateral to take out a $1.7 million personal loan to help fund that campaign.
Later on the same program, in response to substitute host Pat Halpin's observation that "57 percent of Americans, even people who are supporting [President] George [W.] Bush, say Bush is not doing a good job in Iraq," Coulter remarked that "looking at polls is phenomenally stupid" -- then immediately cited poll results that were unfavorable to Kerry:
COULTER: Looking at polls is phenomenally stupid. And I don't think that is how Americans vote. So I don't know why, you're just rambling off numbers.
I did watch the Democratic National Convention and that's why [FOX News Channel host] Sean [Hannity] [7] and I are very confident and taking bets on the next election. And apparently a lot of Americans watched the Democratic National Convention as much as Kerry didn't get any bump from that. I mean, he's supposed to be getting like a 17-point bump. He got nothing. That's because people saw him and reacted the way people are wont to do.
Media Matters for America has previously noted the rampant distortions [8] of polling data by pundits and conservative media outlets following the Democratic National Convention. Several polls showed Kerry achieving a small bounce, while one showed Bush gaining ground.

Levenhuk D70L Digital Biological Microscope features superb image definition, especially at the edges, ensured by hardware reliable performance. The basic configuration provides wide image processing possibilities.
The Levenhuk D70L is used for observations of transparent and opaque objects in transmitted light using the bright field method, for biological use and teaching demonstrations.
Levenhuk D70L modules:
Focusing arm
The focusing arm located on the stand allows vertical movement of the stage. Handles are lined up at the both sides of the stand. The total focusing value is at least 15 mm (0.6 in).
The stage is fixed on the bracket secured on the focusing arm block. The specimen holder is located on the stage surface, and the diaphragm disk is attached to the lower part of the stage. A stopping screw limits movement of the stage bracket, which eliminates possible contact between the objective and the specimen.
Revolving head
The revolving head holds the objectives; to replace an objective, rotate the ring until it reaches the fixed position.
3.6" LCD display.
The objectives included in the package are designed for a tube length of 160 mm (6.3 in).
Maintenance of the microscope
The microscope should be kept clean and protected from damage. When it is not in use, cover the microscope with a special case included.
To maintain the microscope, regularly wipe dust off it, then clean it with a soft cloth slightly moistened with acid-free petroleum jelly. Afterwards, wipe it with a dry, soft, clean tissue.
Metallic parts should be kept clean. Special attention should be paid to maintaining cleanliness of the optics (especially objectives and eyepieces).
Never touch the optic surfaces with your fingers.
In case dust soils the objective lens deep in the casing, carefully wipe the lens with a clean cotton swab slightly moistened with Levenhuk cleaning spray or spirits mixture. If you notice dust inside the objective or a film on the inside of the lenses, the objective should be sent for repair.
Never attempt to disassemble objectives and eyepieces; doing so would void the warranty.
- Magnification, x 40-400
- Objectives magnification 4x, 10x and 40x
- Linear field in the images space, mm 18
- Tube length, mm 160

We had a problem with my car, Eagle Autos Ltd completed the checks as we had discussed. They contacted me before they did any work to make sure I knew what needed doing. Everything was explained and broken down so I understood what each thing was. I ended up having a few bits done such as front suspension, front brakes, full service, MOT and even got a free car wash. I felt like I was dealt with professionally, their customer service is excellent. Thank you Ricardo for keeping me in the loop with everything and thank you to the technician for fixing my car. My husband used this garage for his van a few months back and he was very happy at how quickly and efficiently they dealt with his van. Thanks again, highly recommend Eagle Autos Ltd (South Wimbledon)
Great people, great service. Had my cambelt and water pump changed swiftly and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks!!!
Excellent service from Eagle Autos. My appointment was arranged quickly and the problem was investigated and dealt with within a couple of hours of dropping off the car. I was only charged what was originally quoted and the service was efficient and friendly. Higly recommended.
Steering pipes replacement, oil top up and suspension mount. At first wanted to get pipe sorted, I got a call from Roberto to fix suspension mount and top up oil added to the original issue. Car came back with a new noise. Didn't pay attention at first as I was away. Not sure what was fixed really, apparently suspension mount was also supposed to be be fixed but as soon as car came back, car started to make noise on bumps. Before that this noise was never there. My Friend came with me to test the steering wheel. The Car wheel became worse than before. And we did mention this at the garage and were told this was normal. However when he car was brought, Roberto did mention that the steering wheel has an issue as it's quite hard. Anyway.. Not a good experience. I was going away on holiday, before that I brought the car to BMW to do a service where they've top up the oil as well before bringing it to eagle autors, I verified my service paper after and realised that i have been scammed in paying for the oil as well. Please be careful.
Professional work carried out, my drive feels less noisy and I am having pleasant Journeys. Many thanks
Fast response and work carried out to a good standard. Initial issue was found to be wrong and full work completed. Reasonably priced in comparison to others looked at. Job well done.
I was very pleased with this garage and would certainly recommend and use them again. I found them to be honest and competitively priced. They were also polite, friendly and not in the least pushy. Two small problems occurred and not only were these resolved extremely promptly but l also received some money off my bill. I left them thinking l would trust them completely.
We arrived at 08.30 with our Ford c-max for a new clutch we were told it would be ready for 5pm very reasonable price as per quote and a good job done car ready on time will use this garage again thanks guys
Had car to go through Mot as had failed previously, needed two rear tyres changed and rear cluster brake lights shorting and brake pads. Car passed Mot handed over £280. Did this in January, my previous tyre had a small puncture which I had to re inflate every 2 weeks. I went on holiday for 3 weeks in April and noticed the tyre flat. So I pumped it up again and ever since I've had to do it every week now, took it back and the guy who took my money did not seem interested. I have checked the light cluster and that is still not working so obviously my car is legal. Please don't use these guys.
I had the clutch replaced at this garage and this was completed successfully as the car seems fine so far. However, I have also asked for A/C recharge and they were not able to complete the job, they have advised that the EIC condenser has a leak and needs replacement. I have been charged £20 for this job even though my AC still does not work. Was agreed with Sam that he will call me the next day to provide a quote for the condenser replacement, he did not bother to call me back at all. Also they have not re-filled the engine coolant after completing the works, had to buy new coolant on my way home. Not very professional garage overall, had to call several times to get updates for collection time and did not even get response.
So this was my first time going to this garage and honestly would be my last, I went to this garage wanting an MOT and service. I had seen price from £170 - £150 on this site but seen this particular garage doing it for 130, checked the reviews and seemed all good. Booked a date and time and went on my way. Now here's where the issues start... 1. They asked me to come at 8.30 am, which I did but the garage was still closed... eventually waited for around 20 min and then they took me in. 2. Without taking to me about what they will do first and if there was any issues with the car it self. They decided they will do what they want and start the MOT straight away, I asked to do the service first but out right refused to do it because in there words " I've already started " 3. After waiting around 2 hrs the car was ready and noticed while driving away from the garage the leather steering wheel was scratched deeply... I was annoyed as they would bring some excuse up and at this point I have had enough of the garage. In conclusion there was 1 guys that was really good, the other person that does the MOT seems ok but I honestly went for this garage due to its so called "amazing" reviews but it wasn't.
absolute life savers. got my Mot and service done within a matter of hours
Very Very impressed! Great job!
Good hassle free service, will use them again
Excellent and very prompt service, great price brilliant overall.
all done as promised.
decent prices and trustworthy team
Being new to the area I didn't know any garages and have been impressed with west lake They had excellent customer service, dropping me home twice, and dropping my car off for me once it was done The price was more than I'd hoped, but they broke it down for me, offered to leave the old parts with me, and knocked off the price for brake fluid The car now feels safe and for an old car, better than ever Great job
Didn't get work done in end but good advice
Happy with the work done
Great Garage
The diagnostic found that the flywheel had to be replaced together with the clutch kit. The job was done very quickly, price was competitive and the car runs perfectly now. I will definitely use their services again.
Did everything asked at the price agreed. Very friendly and much cheaper than the £85 quoted by F1 Autocentres.
Will recommend
Qualify and fast service.
I wanted my Saab regased ! But after an hour they couldn't do it , and wanted to charge £150 instead of £30 ! So I left !
Took a bit long but £30.00 was a good price
Would have no hesitation in recommending the Garage to anyone in the future. Friendly and courteous staff. Reliable job.
Great service and communication. The main mechanic that i spoke with initially was very helpful and knowledgeable. When I picked up the vehicle, the female member of staff on front desk was polite/helpful and got my car out of the garage for me.

Oligonucleotide probe arrays have enabled massively parallel analysis of
gene expression levels from a single cDNA sample. Application of microarray
technology to analyzing genomic DNA has been stymied by the sequence
complexity of the entire human genome. A robust, single base resolution
direct genomic assay would extend the reach of microarray technology. We
developed an array-based whole-genome genotyping assay that does not
require PCR and enables effectively unlimited multiplexing. The assay
achieves a high signal-to-noise ratio by combining specific hybridization
of picomolar concentrations of whole genome amplified DNA to arrayed probes
with allele-specific primer extension and signal amplification. As proof of
principle, we genotyped several hundred previously characterized SNPs. The
conversion rate, call rate and accuracy were comparable to those of
high-performance PCR-based genotyping assays.

We have a river on campus so water activities are very popular on campus. there is also a gym with plenty of equipment for working out, a tennis court, basketball courts, and a pool. Frisbee and outside sports are popular as well.Read More
A deal of clubs and lots of out door recriation.Read More
The SGA programs board plans weekly activities for students to do. Basketball games are big on campus and just relaxing at the waterfront is nice.Read More
Party all night, watch movies all night, laugh at a comedian, enjoy burlesque, or even embrace the great outdoors. This campus is really fun if you go out and find it.Read More
Real talk: at St. Mary's, we make our own fun. We have a ton of clubs and sports, from intramural to varsity, and the school has an amazing boathouse on our prime real estate, the St. Mary's river. As for at night, there are always parties on North Campus or, for the less adventurous, activities and movies and theme nights sponsored by SGA and other student groups. You can always trek into Lexington Park as well--it's a little far and you'll need to drive, but it's a pretty decent town.Read More
Kayaking, rowing, sailing, hiking, camping, fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, canoeing, on-campus events, pretty much anything one could imagine.Read More
There's so much to do on campus! (But nothing off campus) Many of the activities revolve around the water; sailing, boating, ponding (which is SMCM speak for throwing your friend in the pond on his/her birthday), etc.Read More
The river is a great source of fun on campus--all students have access to kayaks, sail boats, paddle boards, and windsurfers as well as the college's private beach. There is a general cook out culture on the weekends. The school also does a great job bringing comedians and concerts to campus and providing regular transportation to DC, Baltimore, and even NYC for concerts, plays, guest lecturers, and shopping.Read More
