Lizzy Yarnold shed tears of joy as her lifetime of sporting endeavour was rewarded by having a Winter Olympic gold medal draped round her neck in the Sochi Olympic Park on Saturday night.
The mask of steel she had worn throughout her quest to become Great Britain's fourth women's skeleton medallist finally slipped as the magnitude of her achievement finally dawned in front of thousands of flag-waving supporters.
"It's just me - Lizzy," said a disbelieving Yarnold after the ceremony as she admitted she had finally begun to come to terms with being an Olympic champion.
Yarnold added: "I was crying before I even went out there. I had to look again and check that my medal was really this colour. It just made it worth every second of work - a whole lifetime of work - for this moment
"I couldn't stop crying the whole way through. I cry a lot in private but when I've got a job to do I'm very set and serious. The ceremony was a lot more nerve-racking. I didn't know what to do out there."
Her victory ceremony along with an equally overjoyed Noelle Pikus-Pace who took silver, and rising Russian bronze medallist Elena Nikitina, capped an extraordinarily steep trajectory for Yarnold, who recalled how her first skeleton run six years ago as part of a Girls4Gold talent programme left her ready to "throw up".
Yarnold spent her first full day as Olympic champion completing an endless round of media interviews and was clearly revelling in every second of the public acclaim, but the depths of the determination which had got her to this moment were never far away.
Yarnold's enormous 0.97 seconds winning margin over her rivals, coming at the end of a season in which she won four out of eight World Cup races and finished on the podium in three more, suggested the 25-year-old has what it takes to dominate her sport for years to come.
And there is clearly no danger of her opting to follow the example set by Amy Williams, who retired shortly after her own gold medal exploits in Vancouver four years ago partly due to injury and partly because she knew she could not realistically hope to surpass her momentous achievement.
Yarnold added: "I think this is the first time that there's been a World Cup champion and an Olympic champion at the same time.
"I've achieved a lot in my career but I'm only very young and I'm very hungry for more. I'm willing to learn and I can't wait for the next challenge - I'll probably be back in the gym by next week."
Yarnold said she remained unaware of the magnitude of her achievement back home, having not had the time to get back on social media where her Twitter followers increased from 2,500 to almost 40,000 by the end of Saturday night, while BBC audience figures for her win peaked at 5.2million.
They watched a pair of inspired runs from Yarnold, who led by 0.44 seconds overnight and proceeded to make a mockery of suggestions that she may struggle with the pressure by returning to the Sanki Sliding Center on Friday to lay down a track record.
Between her third and fourth runs, Yarnold listened to music from Bombay Bicycle Club and even found time for a quick nap while the rest of the nation peered through much-bitten fingernails at the culmination of an event measured in hundredths of a second.
Her phenomenal mental strength has always been one of Yarnold's chief characteristics since she was first selected to skeleton - a sport of which she knew nothing about, having initially favoured a career in modern pentathlon.
And as she harked back to those early days of track testing, it became apparent just how she had harnessed those early anxieties and forged an ability which is, in all likelihood, destined to keep her at the top of her sport all the way to the next Winter Games in Pyeongchang.
"I remember just holding on and trying not to let my head hit the ice from all the pressure," said Yarnold. "It was really quite messy, but as I got up and pulled my heavy sled out of the out-run I told my coach, 'I think I can get better at this'."

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. - St. Simons Island is gearing up for its role in Will Ferrell's new "Anchorman" movie.
The Brunswick News reports filming of scenes for the sequel to "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" is starting soon. Scott McQuade of the Golden Isles Convention and Visitors Bureau says most of the cast and crew members are expected to arrive Monday.
The film stars Ferrell, Steve Carell and Christina Applegate reprising their roles from the 2004 comedy. They'll be shooting scenes in different parts of coastal Glynn County, with St. Simons Island being one of the more visible locations.
McQuade says the production should provide a healthy economic boost. The cast and crew are expected to spend the equivalent of 2,000 nights in local hotel rooms.

The Galloping Gourmet series that made Graham Kerr famous was before my time, but I've caught a few clips of his hilarity on YouTube. He literally galloped over a chair to make his entrance and drank copious amounts of wine as he cooked, never holding back on the clarified butter.
Years after the show ended in 1971, Kerr did a bit of a culinary 180, scrapping the fat and calorie-laden recipes for which he was known in favor of heart-healthy fare.
On Cooking Channel, we're bringing back the original Galloping Gourmet—so bring on the cream and butter. I checked out The Galloping Gourmet Television Cookbook and found it full of intriguing old-school dishes like Potted Shrimp (shrimp mixed with butter, jarred, and sealed with clarified butter) and Fillet Steak Wellington (beef cooked in clarified butter and wrapped in puff pastry spread "thickly" with liverwurst). Paula Deen sure would be proud.
But most entertaining are Kerr's snippets of commentary in the cookbook's section intros.
A few gems:
"Cocktail parties are social suicide. Their object is to discharge hospitality en masse to people who don't rate a dinner."
"Don't overcook—pappy, non-bite foods are for infants and sweet-tooth addicts whose dentures are in for repair."
"Our language has coined slang that can be put to excellent use in the kitchen—such phrases as "she's a vegetable" or "suburban cabbage." Both these terms use vegetables to describe an unutterably drab, dull, pointless existence. In most Western cuisines, the slang usage is right on the money."
"If you, my reader, are female—then regard a dessert as you would best like to be regarded. Attractive, delicate, not over decorated, no false garnish, not pushy, a little bittersweet, subtle, slightly evasive, and, even though you may hide this from yourself, frankly luscious!"
Do you have favorite Kerr moments from The Galloping Gourmet? I can't wait to watch full episodes of this guy in action.

|And the Winner Is...
The Superyacht Society's Individual Distinguished Crew Award goes to a globetrotting captain.
By Capt. Ken Kreisler — February 2003
There's been a lot of talk in the megayacht community about establishing and maintaining professional standards for crew. But what makes a good crew member? On November 1 the Superyacht Society went a long way toward defining it in honoring Capt. Phil Walsh of the 151-foot Turmoil with its Individual Distinguished Crew Award, as someone who exemplifies the highest standards to which professional crew aspire.
Walsh's crew nominated him because of his leadership and seamanship capabilities. An besides his on- water expertise, his credentials are impressive. He was one of the first captains to get an MCA ticket and is a licensed airplane pilot as well as a certified ice pilot. The Canadian government, along with several other countries, requires this latter certification for yacht skippers to traverse ice-laden waters. In their nomination, his crew also commented that he was just a great guy to work for, and because of that he has an excellent history of loyalty with his crews. In short, Walsh is the kind of captain who sets the bar high.
A native Australian, Walsh, who hails from Sydney, began his nautical wanderings as a professional yacht racer on the maxi sailboat circuit in the mid 1970's. "It was all fun and excitement in those days," he says. But as he and his buddies watched many of the larger cruising sailboats going to and from the Caribbean, Walsh began to imagine that it would be nice to give up the hectic racing schedule and exchange it for the laid-back, easy-going style of palm trees, piña coladas, and white sandy beaches.
His chance came when he and a friend were offered work on a boat heading to the Caribbean. "It was all good as far as remunerations were concerned, and the work, second nature to me, was easy." After that he kept meeting owners with bigger and bigger boats.
Walsh recalls that the sailboats were fun, but after 15 years working on them, it was time for a change. "I finally decided to leave the big sailboats, most likely because I was getting tired of it," he says. "You see, I'm machinery-minded and hands-on and--well, on the boats I was skippering, I had to crawl around the engine spaces. The logical step was getting on a big powerboat."
Opportunity knocked in the form of a 128-foot Feadship named Monaco. Based in South Florida, Walsh and Monaco plied the Caribbean charter season in the winter and he delivered megayachts such as Carmac and Pilar to Europe for the summer Med season. And the rest, as they say, is history.
For the past four years he has been at the helm of Turmoil, an expedition-style yacht built by Palmer Johnson that has, under his hand, logged some 25,000 NM annually on her owner's global program. While she is a well-appointed yacht, her owner is an adventurous type who is concerned about the natural world. To that end, part of Turmoil's mission is to study the effects of global warming on the environment.

Not surprising Android would outperform Apple in China. It is the land of cheap, knock off, crap. Kind of fitting.
There is no such thing as "free or cheap" in China. What you are talking about a American contract offerings which subsidize the expense of the handset through the contract. In most other countries in the world, people opt for prepaid or month by month service, not subsidized contract prices. IF you want to know what it feels like to "buy a phone like a chinese man/woman" go into the apple store, tell them yours broke, say you want to buy one outright, then multiply the expense by at least 5 (to remotely adjust for a fair wage comparison) and then you may rethink that statement.There is already a cheap iphone (actually free); the 3gs, and the iphone 4 is becoming is sort of cheap
Apple products are also made in China. Wake up.

"The carrier is offering the 16GB iPhone 4S for free with the signing of a two-year contract for a monthly plan starting at 389RMB ($62), slightly more than China Unicom's 386RMB plan. The China Telecom data plan, however, offers more data and voice minutes and less text messages than its rival's comparable packages. A fully-subsidized 16GB iPhone 4S can be had for as low as 289RMB ($46) with a three-year contract."
This is another of those misleading comparisons.
Android is an OS available on many, many handsets from many, many manufacturers -- including really cheap ones made and sold in and around China by all three of China's providers including the largest IN THE WORLD, China Mobile.
iOS is an OS available on handsets shipping from exactly one manufacturer which is neither cheap nor budget, and not available from the LARGEST PROVIDER IN THE WORLD, China Mobile.
And yet they have 'only' 17%. Wow, they must feel real bad about that when compared to ALL OTHER MANUFACTURERS COMBINED.
I wonder what happens when they get a deal with China Mobile...
Is Apple perfect? No. Are there things about them that suck? Yes. But can we at least compare apples to apples (no pun intended but still appropriate) when doing these kinds of stories? Do I like asking rhetorical questions? Yes!
I don't have the numbers, but I'd be more interested in the details relating to my points above:
- How many different handsets/manufacturers have Android on them in China?
- What's the market share based on manufacturer and model (just top 5 or 10)?
- How is that 'only 17%' sold via the #2 & #3 China carriers affected by not being on the #1 carrier (did I mention IN THE WORLD?) -- does that give a measurable advantage to the Android platforms?
If anyone has the answers, please speak up!
This is because there are cheap devices here tht run Android. You can get a shitty phone with gingerbread for less then 100USD here.
And to the poster above, why do Apple need to lower their price? That's just total ignorance because last I check, the iPhone is priced about the same as any other similar spec phone out there.
iPhones are expensive, top of range phones. Wages are low in Chinaif Apple wanted market share at any cost they would have already released a cheaper phone in ROW.
Android outsells iPhones everywhere. If you want cheap, buy Android. If you want the best you have a choice of iPhone or top end Android handsets at a similar price.
In China less people can afford top end handsets (as a percentage - not necessarily in absolute numbers) so this story should not come as a surprise to anyone - least of all Apple.
But back on topic, this kinda shocks me in a way. You'd think Apple would be leading there, but apparently not. The whole Foxconn scandal could play a role in it, but not a whole lot. Android leads because of it's cheap price, and that's a fact.
half of their income? i'd like to see the sources of that information. i'm sure most people would "like" to save half of their income. at any rate, i'm happy to see android phone sales doing so well if for no other reason than to compel apple to respond in ways favorable to the consumer. i like my apple toys, but i'm not opposed to expanding my playground. still, price is only only one factor. anyone can buy a $10 phone.

LRI Coalition Member Gathering Support for Petition Against Fail First Step Therapy
Lupus Foundation of Mid and Northern New York, Inc.'s President/CEO Kathleen Arntsen is asking New Yorkers to sign a new petition in support of Assembly Bill 9397/Senate Bill 6464 by Assembly Member Matt Titone (D-Staten Island) and State Sen. Catharine Young (R-Olean). Step therapy Provisions in the New York bill would permit a doctor to override an insurer's step therapy requirements.
Many health insurers require step therapy, also known as "fail first protocol," meaning that the cheapest drug be tried first and fail before doctors can prescribe more costly medications. After each failure, the next more expensive drug can be used, stepping up one drug at a time. The most expensive drug can only be tried after all other medications have failed.
Arntsen told reporters from American News Report that her goal is not to eliminate step-therapy but to make it "less-complicated, with a clear and concise override process to give physicians back their power to prescribe the most appropriate treatment."
Please sign the petition to let legislators know how this Bill would help patients, including those with lupus.

Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner, P.C., one of North Scottsdale's largest law firms, announced it is making a $1,000 donation to Tempe-based Children's Cancer Network as part of a campaign making five donations in five weeks to celebrate the firm's fifth anniversary.
"The Children's Cancer Network provides financial, educational and psychosocial support to children and families dealing with childhood cancer," said Greg Gillis, Partner at Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner. "Hopefully our donation will help local children and families struggling with a recent cancer diagnosis."
"Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner has long been an active supporter of the community, and specifically to the Children's Cancer Network," said Patti Luttrell, Executive Director of Children's Cancer Network. "We're grateful for their ongoing financial and volunteer efforts to help local children and families battling childhood cancer."
Celebrating its anniversary by making donations to local non-profits fits with the firm's belief that its rapid growth is a direct credit to its talented staff and their personal and professional commitment to community involvement. This commitment to community is in addition to the firm's year-round donations and volunteer efforts.
The firm was founded in July of 2008 by Randy Nussbaum and Gregory Gillis with a focus on complex bankruptcies, commercial litigation, construction law, real estate law, just as the economic downturn began. Despite the recession, the firm surpassed its initial three-year business plan in just two years. Dean Dinner became the third named partner in 2010 and since then the firms areas of practice have grown to include trust and estate planning and probate, insurance defense work, administrative and regulatory law including the pest control and landscaping industries. Over the years, the firm has continued to expand to its current number of 11 lawyers, bringing its total to nearly 30 employees.
Additional recipients of donations from Nussbaum Gillis & Dinner, will be announced weekly throughout July, as part of the firm's anniversary celebrations.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — A man has been arrested months after two young brothers and one sibling's fiancee were found shot in the head in the parking lot of a San Diego shopping mall and the trunk of a car 90 miles away, police said Saturday.
All three died and were gunned down around the Christmas holiday, police said.
Carlo Gallopa Mercado, 29, was arrested late Friday night and booked Saturday on suspicion of three counts of murder, police Lt. Mike Hastings said.
Salvadore Belvedere and Ilona Flint, both 22 years old, were found with gunshot wounds to the head in the parking lot of the Westfield Mission Valley mall in the early hours of Christmas Eve last year. She was declared dead at the scene, and he died a few days later at a hospital.
Belvedere's 24-year-old brother, Gianni, who was Flint's fiancé, disappeared around the same time. About 3 ˝ weeks later and some 90 miles north in Riverside, a caller reported a bad smell coming from a car in a parking lot.
Police found Gianni Belvedere dead in the trunk. He had also been shot in the head.
The two men's sister Antoinette Belvedere said at a brief news conference that detectives had come to the family home Saturday morning to tell them of the arrest. She said the family was relieved but still stunned.
"We're holding up," she said. "You know, it's a sense of relief to get this information that somebody's been caught, and we just got the news, so we're still processing everything."
Police would not say what relationship, if any, the suspect had to the victims or release what evidence led his arrest. Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman planned to discuss the investigation and arrest at a Monday news conference.
Gallopa Mercado was being held without bail and was scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday, county jail records show. Police and deputies reached by phone did not know if he had hired an attorney.

Fuzzilla - Sunday, March 30, 2008 - link"...there are two main capacitors..."
And who is the Mfgr of these for the Modu82+ series? Should I assume Hitachi as stated for the Pro82+ series?
Are you sure there are three rails, what does the bottom of the main PCB look like? Photos please.
According to your diagram the Modu82+ 525W has no floppy connector, Enermax specs state otherwise.
"The solder joints in general aren't that great with Enermax,..."
Really? Photos please.

feelingshorter - Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - linkDue to marketing with higher and higher wattage PSU's, a lot of people still are clueless on how much a modern day system uses (or at least i am). So i was wondering of Anandtech can give typical systems in which would use said PSUs can be used safely and to maximize efficiency.
Such as mention that a dual core, 9600GT system using the 385? Or a 8800GT + quad core using the higher ups? Or can a 385 watt PSU (being that its enermax) handle say a 8800GT + quad core? I remember many websites in the past stating that even well to do gaming system don't need as much watts as people would expect. Reply
nilepez - Thursday, March 27, 2008 - linkIf the vast majority of power can be served on the 12V rails, then yes.
an 8800GT less than 100W at full power. You can be fairly certain that the rest of your system pulls less than your graphics card (at least if it's core duo...havne't looked into quad cores).
When you go to PSU calculators, those figures they recommend are based on everything in your system operating at 100%. maybe it's just me, but I've never had my GPU, CPU, HD and DVD all going at 100% at the same time. At idle, you're probably pulling under 100W with an 8800GT (512mb). If you're overclocking, it can vary.
The main key is to get a good PSU, not necessarily a huge one, though I'm building one for my parents that's got a huge PSU (i've i'd seen this review 4 days ago, I would have bought the 385W enermax), because it was rated as very quiet....but these are apparently even quieter...and more efficient too.

Christoph Katzer - Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - linkCorrect and we are working on that kind of article already :) Reply
strafejumper - Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - linklot of places just focus on 800 and 1000 watt psu's
i'm looking at the conclusion page and it says 350, 380, 385 !!!
i don't upgrade everytime something new comes out so these power supplies are still very usable for me and im glad they get some attention. Reply
Bremen7000 - Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - linkHorizontal bar charts for price? Really? I guess when all you have is a hammer... Reply
Woodchuck2000 - Thursday, March 27, 2008 - linkWell put...
One of the shoddier reviews I've seen on Anandtech for quite some time, including some shocking graph abuse and grammatical errors throughout.
In the DC Output Stability and Quality section, There are four PSUs in the top three graphs and then only three shown in the analysis below. Which 525W supply is that?
In the graphs below, I assume the numbers at the lower half of the nonsensical Y-axis are meant to be negative? And is the load percentage on the X-axis a percentage of total rated PSU capacity, or rated line current. And in either case, are other lines loaded and if so how? You'd expect completely different 12v load characteristics depending on which other lines are loaded any how much.
"In case of ripple and noise, we were surprised to see very little distortion on the rails. The highest amount of ripple on the 12V rail was 16mV for example. The other rails were similar except the 5Vsb rail, which went a little high. That's pretty common, unfortunately."
Why is that surprising? How did you measure ripple? Is that amplitude or peak above rated? A little high under what circumstances? Why's that common, and if it's only the 5V Standby Rail, why is that necessarily unfortunate? The whole article is full of meaningless generalisations like that one...
Anandtech has enough quality writers not to need filler like this. All in all, D- Reply

Apart from the upgrade in caps, there seems to be no design improvements. On the contrary, the workmanship looks a bit dodgy. I'd wait to see if these blow up left right and center after a year of use before passing a verdict.
[quote]To our surprise, there are two main capacitors, which is something we don't see often in Enermax power supplies.[/quote]
Whaaaaa??? Last I checked the entire FMA lineup had "two capacitors" on the primary side.
Spacecomber - Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - linkAt the beginning of the section on the Pro82+, you state, "The package is quite different from the Modu82+ series and comes in completely different dimensions". I think that you were just describing the dimensions of the box that the power supplies come in, but the picture at the start of the article, where the power supplies are stacked on each other, gives the impression that the power supplies themselves might be of different dimensions.
Can you confirm that the external dimensions are the same for all these new models? Are these power supplies of the typical size?
Thanks. Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - linkYes, only the package is different. Reply
strikeback03 - Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - linkYour photo of the label for the big Pro82+ shows 625W, but your charts on pages 12 and 14 say Pro82+ 525W. Which was it actually?
Didn't look elsewhere, but these are on Newegg right now for $10-30 more than you list in the review. The Infiniti 650 is priced the same as the Modu82+ 625W but the Infiniti ships free, and the Infiniti 720W is cheaper than either after a $25 MIR. Reply
Griswold - Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - linkAny good reason (like you couldnt get ahold of one) for not including the 425W PSU of this line? Its by far the most reasonable of the three... too bad. Reply

SHARES in Melbourne IT fell more than 10 per cent after the company warned of lower earnings, delays on its transformation plans and flagged the sale of some assets.
In a trading update, the domain name manager and online services provider said earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for the year to December 31 were expected to be about 10 per cent below the previous year.
Melbourne IT said this was due to volatility in its For The Record division, which provides digital recording services for venues such as courtrooms, where it faced government cost-cutting. ''Melbourne IT is experiencing disappointing trading results and a number of new opportunities that were expected to come through in the second half of 2012 are delayed and are now not expected to materialise until 2013,'' the company said.
The guidance was a sharp turnaround from a half-year presentation in August, when the company said full-year EBIT was expected to be up 10 per cent. Investors showed their displeasure and the shares fell 22¢ to $1.52.
Melbourne IT said the board had reviewed the company's corporate structure and found the value of its businesses was ''not being adequately recognised by the market''.
In response, the board will hold talks with a number of parties, primarily large overseas organisations, that have previously indicated an interest in buying parts of the firm.

No. 21 Fall 2013
Backstage before his No. 21 show, independent Italian designer Alessandro Dell'Acqua explained that the collection was based on a contrasting mix of English and Italian style. The unifying concept was apparent to those perched on the benches (though it's a shame key buyers are still not seated on them) as his cool, pared-down posse sloped past in tartan shirts, covetable granny-style knits (with slick neoprene linings), and Prince of Wales overcoats paired with pencil skirts studded with over-the-top Swarovski crystals, reminiscent of Italy's bygone gilded youth.
But for all the flag-flying, England and Italy are far from a close union. As such, despite an elegant straddling between the two cultures, the burgeoning line was strongest when it left the rosy English clichés behind and looked closer to home. With the Italian elections neatly coinciding with fashion week here, it's only natural to make comparisons politically and sartorially. The frontrunners were the sober, buttoned-up, and austere pieces with longevity and international appeal: slim, cropped pants, houndstooth shirts, and a gazar coat cut with a sharp modernity that cleverly contrasted with its camel hue.
And yet, any good wardrobe requires a few wild cards (enter Berlusconi, center right). A soft gold leather jacket with fur trim thrown over a pristine white shirt and trousers had a distinct rakish air. An ovoid baby-blue coat (with matching pants) continued the offbeat mood and highlighted the designer's knack for tapping into the groundswell of popular sentiment for a sartorial surprise. Whatever the political outcome here in Italy may be, judging by the end-of-show applause for the designer, this is a collection predicted to rally the masses. Let's just hope they can find it in stores.

Providence, R.I. -- Tonight marked the first Ivy League sweep for the University of Pennsylvania volleyball team. The Quakers ended their month long road trip with a win at Brown, 3-0 (25-19, 25-19, 25-21). The Red and Blue are now 8-8 overall, 2-3 Ivy League, while the Bears are now 7-9 overall, 3-2 Ivy League.
The first set began as a back-and-forth battle between the two teams, until Penn pulled away to a five-point advantage, 13-8, due to an attack error by Bear Alexandra Rieckhoff. Brown was relentless and tied the set at 15, but a service error by Bear Kathryn Conner gave the Quakers the edge, 16-15. The error was followed by two service aces from junior Meghan Connolly, a block assist and a kill each by senior captain Susan Stuecheli and sophomore Alex Caldwell, and a ball handling error by Bear Sarah Lucenti, to make the score 22-15. The deficit was too much and Stuecheli ended set-one with a kill, 25-19.
Penn began set-two behind, 3-1, but quickly responded with five-points in a row. The Bears called a timeout, but the Quakers never gave up the lead and scored three-points in a row to make the score 9-4. Shortly after, the Red and Blue would go on another five-point run, with kills from four different attackers: sophomore Michellie McDonald-O'Brien, senior captain Kristen Etterbeek, Stuecheli, and Caldwell. The last point for Penn was from an attack error by Bear Amanda Nickel. Brown was once again trapped by the Quakers, who took set-two with a kill from sophomore Alexis Genske, 25-19.
With the momentum in Penn's favor, Genske was first to attack in set-three and put the Red and Blue on the board. Brown kept the game close and gained a slight advantage, 8-7. An attack error by Brown evened the score out and the Quakers then scored two more points, 10-8. Determined to gain the lead again, the Bears called a timeout and scored another point but another attack error would return the ball back to Penn. The Quakers capitalized on the opportunity and won five consecutive points, 15-9. Points were awarded back-and-forth, until Stuecheli ended the set, 25-21, with a kill. The Red and Blue claimed their first Ivy sweep of the season.
Penn ended the night with 41 kills and an attack percentage of .220. Stuecheli hit for .636 and led the Quakers with 15 kills, her highest this season. Stuecheli also contributed a solo block and five block assists.
The Red and Blue will return home this Friday to take on Harvard, after a month on the road.

Topic: Thinking of all of you.
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking about all of you this holiday season. I pray you are all doing well. I did better than I expected yesterday as it was our first Christmas missing our Lauren. I think the days leading up to Christmas were far worse. I had a few signs from her yesterday, so I know she is in a perfect place called heaven. I hope the coming year will be much better for all that have lost loved ones or are facing this terrible disease. My heart is with you all.
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based on my experience as a caretaker for my daughter, Lauren and from reading anything I can get my hands on about Cholangiocarcinoma. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.

Five things we learnt from last night's game
THREE late tries to Newcastle took the shine off an otherwise strong win by Melbourne at AAMI Park last night - and earned the players a blast from skipper Cameron Smith.
The Storm controlled most of the game and led 28-6 with 15 minutes remaining. But their renowned discipline broke down - and, more disturbingly for coach Craig Bellamy, so did their defence - allowing Newcastle to improve the scoreline.
Smith said the errors in the final 20 minutes were not acceptable, despite the six-tries-to-four win after which the Storm remained the only unbeaten team after five games.
''I just said [to the players] I wasn't happy,'' Smith said. ''There were very silly errors that we came up with. I thought they were shortcuts really and this team is not about that. This team is about working hard for each other and doing the right thing for the team and a few of their tries at the end there came directly from our errors.
''Credit to the Knights, they were good enough to get the ball over the line but you can't be happy with putting a good 60 minutes together and then just putting the feet in the slippers. You've got to play the full 80 minutes out so I thought I'd better let the boys know that.''
Despite it being Newcastle's ninth successive loss in Melbourne, Knights coach Wayne Bennett said he saw a lot of positives in his team's showing, singling out Jarrod Mullen and James McManus for praise. He said Danny Buderus was fine after suffering a head knock although Kurt Gidley had hyperextended his knee.
Bennett lamented Melbourne's try just before half-time, scored by Ryan Hoffman, after his side had toiled hard to get back into the match. ''I thought we played some really good football for long periods of time,'' Bennett said. ''They're a quality football team and they have been for a long period of time.
''We're a long way off where we want to be but there was a lot of things I was pleased about. It wasn't all doom and gloom for me. I'm pretty optimistic about where we can go.''
In the first 15 minutes it appeared the Storm would run away with the game with two easy tries to open up a 12-0 lead. But, the Knights managed to rein in the Storm after the initial onslaught and create several chances for themselves.
Newcastle looked threatening during the first 10 minutes after half-time as they tried to come back from a 16-6 deficit, but simple mistakes cruelled their chances. The Storm, after absorbing the early pressure in the second half, took advantage of another turnover to put the heat back on the Knights.
And it was Billy Slater who was on hand to swoop on a loose Storm pass, picking it up at pace, and splitting the defence to score his ninth try of the season. The Storm shored up the win with tries to Will Chambers and Todd Lowrie in the final 15 minutes, but gave up tries to Mullen, Neville Costigan and McManus to take some of the gloss of the win.
The Storm did not finish the game without its concerns. Sika Manu suffered a right ankle sprain which Bellamy said could sideline the prop for six weeks, while winger Anthony Quinn was put on report for a high tackle on Knights centre Junior Sa'u.
MELBOURNE 34 (W Chambers, M Duffie, R Hoffman, T Lowrie, B Slater, G Widdop tries; C Smith 5 goals) bt NEWCASTLE 22 (J McManus 2, N Costigan, J Mullen tries; K Gidley 3 goals) at AAMI Park. Referees: Matt Cecchin, Adam Devcich. Crowd: 11,369.

Dave68 replied to Dave68's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubThanks again Jeebo for your help. Dave
Dave68 started following Mondeo---Rear Light Seals
Dave68 posted a topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubI have a 1999 Mondeo, T reg. Water has been leaking into the boot via the seals of both rear light clusters which now will have to be replaced. Is this a fairly straightforward job that can be tackled by a fairly handy amatuer ( me) or should it go to a garage. Also can I get away with only replacing the seals or do I have to renew the plastic cover of the rear light clusters also. Dave.
Jeebo, your diagnosis is spot on. The water is definitely entering around both rear light clusters. Obviously new seals required. I thought I would have a go at it myself-------am I being wise. I presume that it's just a case of removing each light cluster, removing the old seals and inserting the new ones. Would value your opinion on this. Thanks again. Dave.
Jeebo, thanks for your help. As soon as it gets a bit warmer I shall get the hose out and check all seals etc. The fact that I have completely emptied the boot ( some job ) helps a lot as I can actually see the possible sites of leakages now. If I find the cause I shall report back. Dave
Hi Jeebo, have checked around the top of the hatch and can't see any water marks. Completely emptied the boot and used the rear screen wash ----still no sign of water ingress. I suspect it is coming in through the bodywork from the outside. Think I will just have to be detective for a bit. Having completely stripped the boot and removed the spare wheel I found that the spare wheel basin had 2 inches of water in it ! I suspect that it has gradually built up, perhaps over years. Eventually it has reached such a level that, during normal driving and braking, the water has slopped forwards and seeped into the rear seat area via the back edge of the seat where it meets the vertical seat back. The rear part of the felt boot lining was dry, only the front third near the rear seat was wet. Now that the boot is completely empty and dry I will keep a close check on it, paticularly during wet weather, to try and find the point of entry. What do you think. Also thanks for your reply and suggestions. Dave P.S. In the floor of the spare wheel basin are 3 grommits. Would it be sensible to remove one to let any water that enters to pass through. Not the proper answer I know.
Dave68 started following Water In Rear Seat And Boot
Dave68 posted a topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubI have a 1999 Mondeo I.8 with 37000 miles registered. I have recently noticed quite a bit of water present in the rear seat at the back of the seat where it meets the vertical seat back. This area was quite wet but the main part of the seat was dry. At the same time I have noticed water in the floor of the back of the boot up close to where it meets the back seat. The rest of the boot is dry. Today I pulled the rear seat cushion forward to expose the underside which was quite wet. On either side of the underside is a loosly fitting plastic blank. I prised each blank off and could see a hole below about the diameter of a one pence piece leading to the outside. Is it likely that water could be entering up through these loosely fitting blanks. If so would it solve the problem by sealing them with silicone. Someone suggested to me that it could be a leak from the rear screen wash but I am not sure about that. As the rear seat in this car is rarely used it is possible that this is a long standing problem. I have recently used this car a lot during the wet and snowy weather that we have had. Any ideas please. Dave

Anna and Rodney were married at Cornerstone Sonoma in Sonoma, Calif. on October 18. "We knew it was the one because the venue had beautiful gardens and art installations, but also several different places for the events of the day to take place," Anna said. The bride wore a custom-made blush ball gown with an embroidered bodice and ruffled skirt, accessorized with her hair down in loose curls, floor-length veil, and a pair of peep-toe platform pumps, while the groom wore a black tuxedo, accessorized with a tie. Bridesmaids wore long pleated dresses with halter necklines and carried bouquets of roses, scabiosa pods, and berries. Guests were greeted with a chalkboard sign that said, "I Do," directing them to the Vineyard Lawn and another wooden sign that said, "Ceremony, where the I dos happen, Cocktail Hour, to celebrate the fact that 'WE DID,' dinner, off to the tent where fine dining, drinking, and memories will be made, and Back to the Barn, head to the dance floor, grab some sweets, and P-A-R-T-Y." Once the exchanging of vows were sealed with a kiss, it was official, almost 200 witnessing. "My favorite moment was walking down the aisle, with everyone standing, music playing, slow motion, and anxiety," she said. Tables were decorated with white linens and napkins, mercury glass centerpieces, vintage books, and votive candles, surrounded by mix 'n' matched chairs. In lieu of a cake, there was a cake pop tower. Fun fact: a gobo monogram was projected behind it! However, favors were pashmina shawls. The newlyweds' best advice? "Excel is your best friend," Anna said. "From the very beginning, keep lists for everything like your guests and vendors with as many line item details as you can and keep it up-to-date. If you get it all in there, (i.e. phone numbers, addresses, emails, meal preferences, etc.) it will make things that much less stressful when it comes time to confirm attendees, final counts for rentals, catering, reminders, thank you cards — too many things to list." At the end of the night they jetted off to their honeymoon.

Indy's Leroux tackles larger workload
Right-hander hurls seven one-hit innings in third start of year
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | August 6, 2012 8:11 PM ET
The Triple-A Indianapolis right-hander, making his third International League start this season, tossed seven one-hit innings Monday night. He struck out five without issuing any walks to keep Charlotte off the board before the Knights scored in the eighth inning to prevail, 1-0, over the Indians.
Leroux made 11 starts in 2006 between three levels in the Marlins' system after being picked in the seventh round of the 2005 Draft. He worked exclusively out of the bullpen during the next five years and spent the majority of his time there with Indianapolis this season.
But the Montreal native made his first start July 26 and has seen strong early returns, going 1-0 with a 1.00 ERA in his three outings.
"I'm feeling good, I kind of got a taste of it in the Dominican [Winter League] this offseason when I was starting for [Toros del Este]," he said. "A few weeks ago, I asked if I could start and they said, 'No,' but when Rudy Owens got traded to Houston, they finally said I could do it. I'm happy they did and I'm enjoying it."
Leroux's first start didn't go quite so smoothly as he went 0-4 between three levels in 2006 with a 6.06 ERA. He struck out 22 and walked 19 in 32 2/3 innings.
After that, he settled in as a reliever, working his way up the Marlins system to Triple-A New Orleans before landing in the Pittsburgh organization before the 2011 season. Last year with the Indians, going 6-3 with a 2.80 ERA over 32 appearances. He struck out 57 and walked 21 in 32 2/3 innings.
That led to a callup to the Majors, where he recorded a 2.88 ERA with 24 strikeouts and seven walks in 25 innings for the Pirates.
Still, he said, he'd always been itching to get back on the mound as a starter.
"The Marlins didn't give me much of a shot, they threw me in the bullpen [quickly]. I don't think that was fair, but I was walking a lot of guys back then," he said. "I've found myself now. I'm able to repeat my delivery, throw strikes, it's working well."
Leroux credited a lot of his resurgence as a starting pitcher to the work he put in last year and this offseason with Pittsburgh pitching coordinator Jim Benedict.
"It was more of just finding my natural arm slot. Last year we worked a lot, that was big for me, getting help from him," said the 28-year-old. "He reinforced it a lot. He's a guy that doesn't stop, that was the major key to my success."
Right now, Leroux is pitching strictly out of the stretch, not wanting to mess with success. For the season, he has a 2.27 ERA, striking out 31 and walking eight, in 29 2/3 innings. He made one three-inning start for Class A Advanced Bradenton in a rehab appearance in early June.
He said he's looking forward to making advances as a starter, hoping it leads to a return to the big leagues.
"I'm doing well, I feel good about my mechanics. I'm not even sure if I get called up that I'll be starting -- it could be in a long relief role or anywhere -- so I don't want to mess with anything. I'm feeling too good right now to mess with it."
On Monday, Greg Golson singled to center in the eighth to bring in Jared Mitchell for the game's only run.

Britney Spears is a faker
Britney Spears claimed to be too sick to give a deposition yesterday in her custody battle with Kevin Federline. However, Britney was spotted out until two a.m. hitting up various gas stations, according to TMZ:
Cameras caught the popwreck and an assistant leaving her home away from home, the Four Seasons, for her other home away from home — a gas station — last night. Brit didn't answer when we asked why she missed her extremely important deposition that morning, saying little more than, "It's cold, y'all."
After filling up at that station, Britney drove to another one. What is with her and gas stations? The only scenario I can come up with is that her real father is a Squeegee and Britney's never going to stop searching until she finds him. Even if it means losing her two children, That One and Who's His Name.

Central rallies past Dubuque baseball squad
PELLA—Central College twice rallied to pull out an Iowa Conference baseball sweep Saturday over the University of Dubuque, 5-3, 4-1.
The Dutch captured all four wins in the series after 1-0, 4-3 decisions Friday and improved to 12-5 overall with a 4-2 league record. Dubuque slipped to 3-13 overall with a 1-7 conference mark.
Dubuque jumped to a 3-0 lead in the opener with runs in the first, third and fourth innings. Central answered in the fourth with a two-out, two-run double down the left-field line from right fielder Andrew O'Toole (junior, Des Moines, Lincoln HS).
Trailing 3-2, the Dutch brought home three runs in the sixth. Designated hitter Robbie Rushing (junior, West Des Moines, Valley HS), who had a hot bat going 4-for-5 for the day, singled to get the inning started. Pinch runner Jake Effron (junior, Glendale, Ariz., North Pointe Prep HS) advanced to third on a sacrifice from third baseman Adam Ariola (junior, Bloomington, Ill., Normal HS), who reached on an error. Effron scored on a fielder's choice on at bat from catcher Jace Ahrendsen (junior, Clarence, North Cedar HS).
"Jake came in and made a great play to score at home," coach Adam Stevens said. "It was really a team effort today and that play was as important as any."
Center fielder Sam Stetzel (senior, Perry) continued the attack with a shot to center-field to score Ariola and Ahrendsen scored on another single to left field from first baseman Seth Carson (senior, Woodridge, Ill., Downers Grove South HS).
"Both teams battled, all four games this weekend, but we got some players on base late in the game and made things happen," Stevens said.
Senior Dirk Lindaman (Ankeny) pushed his record to 3-1 on the mound, giving up two earned runs on eight hits with one strikeout and no walks.
"Dirk, along with all of our pitchers today, did a great job," Stevens said. "They competed well, didn't walk batters, got ahead in the count and battled with players on base."
Central jumped ahead in the second inning of the nightcap when Rushing scored on a Trent Smith (junior, catcher, Polk City, North Polk HS) single. The Spartans posted single tallies in the third and fourth frames and after a Central run in the sixth, Dubuque led 3-2 with a score in the seventh. Central tied the game, 3-3, in the bottom half of the seventh when second baseman Spencer Gritsch (freshman, Brooklyn, BGM HS), who was hit by a pitch, scored on a groundout.
The Dutch loaded the bases in the eighth after Rushing was hit by a pitch, Ariola singled and Ahrendsen was intentionally walked. Dubuque cut the run at home for its second out, leaving three runners on base. But Stetzel drew a walk to drive in the game-winning run.
Freshman pitcher Mark Schroeder (Chariton) improved to 3-0 after throwing the eighth inning. Central's starter, Ryan Dusil (junior, Cedar Rapids, Kennedy HS) allowed three runs on eight hits. He struck out two and walked two. Junior Judson McKown (Maple Plain, Minn., Orono HS) held the Spartans scoreless in the ninth inning.
Stevens credited Central's fight for the comeback wins.
"Our players never give up," he said. "We refocused in the late innings and behind solid defense, came up with the clutch plays."
Central travels to Indianola Tuesday for a 3:30 p.m. league doubleheader against Simpson College.

George Trumbull Ladd (January 19, 1842 – August 8, 1921) was an American philosopher, educator and psychologist.
Early life and ancestorsEdit
He was born in Painesville, on January 19, 1842, the son of Silas Trumbull Ladd and Elizabeth Williams.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
He was a grandson of Jesse Ladd and Ruby Brewster,[7] who were among the original pioneers in Madison, Lake County, Ohio. Ruby was a granddaughter of Oliver Brewster[8] and Martha Wadsworth Brewster, a poet and writer, and one of the earliest American female literary figures.
He was a descendant of Elder William Brewster (c. 1567 – April 10, 1644), the Pilgrim leader and spiritual elder of the Plymouth Colony and a passenger on the Mayflower, and Governor William Bradford (1590–1657) of the Plymouth Colony and a passenger on the Mayflower. He was also a 7th generation direct lineal descendant of Daniel Ladd, Sr. (1613–1693).[9]
He early gave indications of the studious habits that characterized him through life. When he was eight years old his first savings, two dollars, were spent for a copy of Josephus and Plutarch, while when eighteen years of age he read Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.
Most of his work in preparing for college was done by himself, only a portion of the time being given to the curriculum in the Painesville High School and at the college preparatory school of the Rev. Mr. Brayton in Painesville, Ohio.
He graduated from Western Reserve College in 1864 and from Andover Theological Seminary in 1869. He was ordained to the Congregational ministry on May 26, 1870. The degree of Doctor of Divinity (D.D. or DD, Divinitatis Doctor in Latin) was conferred on him by Western Reserve College in 1879; Yale University that of M.A. in 1881, Western Reserve College that of LL.D. in 1895, and Princeton University that of LL.D. in 1896.
After graduation, he went into business with his father. His constant studies, however, seemed to turn his steps naturally toward a higher institution of learning, with the result that in 1866 he went to the Andover Theological Seminary.
In 1869, he was installed as the pastor of the Congregational Church in Edinburg, Ohio, remaining here until 1871. In 1871 he began to preach at the Spring Street Congregational Church of Milwaukee, Wisconsin leaving in 1879.[10] He was professor of intellectual and moral philosophy at Bowdoin College from 1879 to 1881, and Clark professor of metaphysics and moral philosophy at Yale University from 1881 until 1901, when he took charge of the graduate department of philosophy and psychology; he became professor emeritus in 1905. He retired in 1906.
During 1879 to 1882 he lectured on theology at Andover Theological Seminary, and in 1883 at Harvard University, where during the time period of 1895 to 1896 he conducted a graduate seminar in ethics.
Between 1892 and 1899, at the invitation of the Government of Japan, he served as a diplomatic adviser and helped the Cabinet under Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito (1841–1909) to promote mutual understanding between Japan and the United States.
He lectured at Imperial University in Japan in 1892 and 1899 (when he also visited the universities of India in Calcutta, Bombay and Benares) and again from 1906 to 1907.[11]
The series of lectures he delivered in Japan revolutionized its educational methods;[12] In 1899, Emperor Meiji conferred the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon, which represents the third highest of eight classes associated with the award. Trumbull was again honored in 1907, this time with the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star, which represents the second highest of eight classes. He was the first foreigner to receive the honor in this class.[13][13][14]
He was much influenced by the German philosopher Hermann Lotze, whose Outlines of Philosophy he translated (6 vols., 1877) and was one of the first to introduce (1879) the study of experimental psychology into America; the Yale psychological laboratory being founded by him. In 1887, he published Elements of Physiological Psychology, the first American textbook to include a substantial amount of information on the new experimental form of the discipline.
Marriage and familyEdit
He married on December 8, 1869 at Bridgeport, Belmont County, Ohio, Cornelia Ann Tallman, born August 26, 1842 at St. Clairsville, Belmont County, Ohio and died on October 19, 1893 at North Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut.[15] She was the daughter of Ellen Ryne and John C. Tallman, a well-known banker and business man of Bridgeport, Ohio.
George and Cornelia were the parents of four children:
- George Tallman Ladd (1871–1943), an Industrialist of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and an 1891 graduate of Yale University. He was president and CEO of United Engineering & Foundry Company, the largest U. S. maker of steel mill equipment. The George Tallman Ladd Award, at the Carnegie Institute of Technology is named after him.[13][16]
- Dr. Louis Williams Ladd, (1873 - 1955), was a doctor of internal medicine and professor of clinical microscopy at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. He graduated from Yale University in 1895 earning his Bachelor of Arts degree, and he graduated with an MD from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1899.
- Jesse Brewster Ladd, (1876–1882).[17]
- Elizabeth Tudor Ladd, (1882 - 1965), married Walter Aldrich Barrett.
He married second, on December 9, 1895, Frances Virginia Stevens,[18] born February 9, 1866 at New York City, the daughter of Dr. George T. Stevens and Harriet Weeks Wadhams. There were no children from the second marriage.
Ladd died on August 8, 1921 at New Haven, Connecticut.[19] After cremation, half his ashes were buried in a Tokyo Temple and a monument was erected to him. The remaining ashes were interred under a monument of the rising sun in Grove Street Cemetery, New Haven, Ct.[13][20][21]
He was elected APA president in 1893
- The Principles of Church Polity (1882)
- The Doctrine of Sacred Scripture (1884)
- What is the Bible? (1888)
- Essays on the Higher Education (1899), defending the "old" (Yale) system against the Harvard or "new" education, as praised by George H. Palmer

Topic: HIgh Glucose levels and anemia
Hi everyone -
My dad who was diagnosed about a year ago is still doing reasonably well but has somewhat chronic anemia and has recently developed slightly higher glucose levels. We are no sure if this has anything to do with the chemo (for the anemia) and the glucose perhaps from the stent causing dilation in the pancreatic duct.
I've read about this drug from Amgen (Aranesp) but have not met anyone that has actually used it.
Has anyone had similar experiences?
Thank you and best of luck to all.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Florida Gov. Rick Scott used JAXPORT as a backdrop Monday afternoon to announce he wants a $200 million increase in additional transportation funding this year.
Scott called for state legislators to set aside $8.8 billion for the Department of Transportation budget in the coming year.
The DOT budget is financed largely by gas taxes and federal grants, and the amount spent usually depends on how much money is available.
"Last year, we secured a record $8.6 billion for transportation investments and we continue to see tremendous results in Florida as we spur economic development and create jobs," Scott said. "From construction jobs to increased trade opportunities, transportation projects provide tremendous job and economic benefit. This investment will enable our state to remain competitive for many years to come."
Part of Scott's budget request will include nearly $139 million for improvements to Florida's seaports, with $2.6 million of that will go to pier upgrades at Blount Island in Jacksonville.
"This is going to be even more jobs for Florida families," Scott said during an interview Monday on Channel 4's The Morning Show. "I think 65,000 jobs are tied to JAXPORT."
Sandy Seabrook, a driver who escorts trucks in and out of the port, says he's glad money is being spent on something other than dredging.
"We have a beautiful port, but we are not utilizing it. We should be operating more like 80 percent before you start talking about developing the port or deepening the channel," Seabrook said.
Scott said a record number of tourists in the state has helped grow gas tax revenue and make additional money available for transportation projects, but would not rule out the current plan to add toll lanes to area highways.
"We are growing a lot of different ways -- a lot of public and private partnerships," Scott said. "And (are) going to be a lot of opportunities to work with companies, managed lanes and do things like that."
Scott is spending January highlighting parts of his annual budget request to the Florida Legislature. Lawmakers will consider the governor's request during the annual legislative session that starts in March.

If you read my post Mixed Messages you know how I feel about TLC's show What Not To Wear. This show features co-host Stacy London, a fashion expert who tells women what they should and shouldn't wear.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, London got the green light for eight episodes of a new fashion series. It's untitled at the moment, but the article states it will feature husband and wife business owners Lisa and Jim Dolan. They own plus size boutique Lee Lee's Velise in Brooklyn, New York. The show will revolve around the boutique and the customers.
A lot like What Not To Wear, the owners will work on making over their customer's wardrobes and offering plus size fashion advice.
I'm always worried about how these shows will portray plus size women. Sometimes these networks edit the show to be a lot more dramatic than it really is. You know what I'm talking about, right? Let's hope this shed's a positive light on plus size women and fashion.
