A MAN has been sentenced to nine years in prison after being found guilty of three counts of rape in Amersham.
Martin Babak Lyon, 21, of Finchley Road, London was sentenced at Reading Crown Court yesterday for three counts of rape and one count of taking an indecent photograph of a child.
Following a trial at Aylesbury Crown Court, he was convicted by a jury on February 26.
The court heard he raped the victim, a 16-year-old girl at the time, at an address in Amersham on November 28, 2012.
He took photos of the victim, threatening to publish them on social media if she told anyone about his offences.
Investigating officer Det Con Thomas Gregory of Force CID based at Amersham said: "Thames Valley Police takes any allegation of sexual offences seriously and I would like to thank every officer who has helped to contribute to this investigation.
"The sentence given to Lyon demonstrates that the courts take incidents such as these very seriously. I hope the sentence brings some closure to the victim, who was only 16 at the time.
!She was incredibly brave to report the offences to the police and then to give evidence at court. I commend the victim for the courage she has demonstrated during this very traumatic period.
"I would also like to thank all the witnesses who have enabled Thames Valley Police and the Crown Prosecution Service to bring this dangerous man to justice."

Game Notes | Twitter (@PennWBB) | Facebook | Shop
PHILADELPHIA - A milestone sweep has left the Quakers (12-9, 5-2 Ivy) in sole possession of second place at the midway point of the Ivy League season. Following the first home sweep of Harvard and Dartmouth since 2001, the Quakers will look to complete a season sweep of Cornell (Friday, 7 p.m.) and Columbia (Saturday, 7 p.m.) at The Palestra this weekend. Both games can be seen on the Penn Sports Network.
Alumni Game
The Quakers will also welcome their alumni back to The Palestra on Saturday. Prior to the matchup with Columbia, Penn will hold its annual Red vs. Blue Alumni Game. Last season, nearly 20 former players participated in the game as Carrie Biemer, C'09, helped lead Blue over Red, 42-34.
Catching the Games
Video and live stats will be available on the Penn Sports Network at PennAthletics.com. Twitter updates (@PennWBB) are also available throughout the contest. A complete recap and box score can then be found at PennAthletics.com shortly after the conclusion of each game.
In the Series vs. Cornell and Columbia
Penn began its current 5-1 stretch with its first sweep at Columbia and Cornell since 2005. The Quakers snapped a three-game losing skid in Ithaca and upped their all-time series edge over the Big Red to 49-19. Cornell and Penn have split the last four meetings at The Palestra—all of which were decided by double digits. With this season's win over Columbia, Penn has now won three straight in the series and four of the last five to improve their all-time series advantage to 36-18. Head Coach Mike McLaughlin is 2-5 all-time against the Big Red and 4-3 against the Lions.
About the Big Red
Cornell snapped a four-game skid with a last-second win over Brown in Ithaca, 60-58, on Saturday. The Big Red fell to Yale by nine last weekend—the same margin by which the Quakers fell to the Bulldogs—and also lost a close game in overtime to Harvard on Feb. 10. Cornell ranks near the top of the Ivy League in field goal percentage (.393) and steals (8.3 per game). They are second in the league in assists at 14.7 per game and rank in the middle of the pack in rebounding. Allyson DiMagno and Clare Fitzpatrick both score in double figures for Cornell at 14.3 and 13.0 points per game, respectively to rank in the top 10 of the league. DiMagno averages a double-double and is the top rebounder in the Ivies with 11.9 per game. Spencer Lane leads the league with 85 assists. DiMagno also has a league-high 36.0 minutes played per game. Clare Fitzpatrick leads the team with 17 blocks and Shelby Lyman has a team-high 33 made threes.
About the Lions
Columbia snapped a nine-game losing streak last weekend with a decisive home win over Brown, 62-51. It is their only Ivy win of the season thus far. The Lions have played five of their first seven league opponents at home and have yet to win a road game this year in 10 tries. Columbia is last in the Ivy League in scoring at just 49.2 points per game and in field goal percentage at 32.1. Columbia boasts one of the better defenses in the league as they are second in the league with 9.6 steals per game and are in the team half of the league in scoring defense and turnover margin. Tyler Simpson leads the Lions in scoring at 9.9 points per game. Brittany Simmons averages 2.2 steals per game to rank second among Ivy players, while Courtney Bradford ranks fifth in the Ivy League in overall rebounding with 6.3 per game and fourth in offensive rebounding with 2.2 per game. Taylor Ball is tops on the team with 35 assists. Three different Lions have made 20 or more threes this year.
Milestone Weekend
A sweep of Harvard and Dartmouth last weekend marked a lot of firsts for the Quakers...the first sweep of those two programs since 2004 and first at home since 2001 ... the first win over Harvard in nine years to snap a 17-game winning streak ... the first home win over the Crimson since 2001 ... the first 20-point win over Dartmouth in program history.
Second Place!
Here's why second-place is such a big deal. In the Ivy League, the top two teams automatically qualify for the postseason. The first-place team recieves the bid to the NCAA Tournament and the second-place finisher automatically qualifies for the WNIT. Penn, which has only been to the postseason twice in the 42 previous seasons as a varsity program, currently holds one of those two coveted spots. The Quakers made the NCAA Tournament as Ivy League champions in 2000-01 and 2003-04.
Magic Number: 60
The statistic that may most indicate a Penn win or loss is 60 points. Since head coach Mike McLaughlin took over at Penn, the Quakers are 24-6 (.800) when they score 60 points, including 6-1 this year (only loss was 68-65 to Virginia of the ACC). In comparison, the Quakers are just 14-61 (.187) when they've scored less than 60 points under Coach McLaughlin. The trend continues defensively. Over the last four seasons, the Red and Blue are 8-39 (.170) when allowing more than 60 points. But when holding opponents under that number, the Quakers hold a winning record of 30-28 (.517).
Penn Trends
At least one freshman has been in the starting lineup for the Quakers in 74 of the last 77 games ... Penn is 10-5 in its last 15 Ivy games ... Penn is 9-2 when leading at the half and 3-7 when trailing ... The Quakers have had fewer turnovers than their opponents in a remarkable 17 of 21 games this season (11-6 in those games) ... The Quakers have outrebounded their opponent just six times this year, but are 6-0 in those games ... Penn has used the same starting lineup in 18 straight games ... Alyssa Baron has started 77 consecutive games for the Quakers ... Three different Quakers have scored more than 20 points in a game this season (Baron, Roche, Ray).
Road Warriors
Penn had quite the trip during its last Ivy road weekend. Here is how the Quakers survived and bonded through a blizzard, hotel flood, leaking gym and a weekend full of twists.
Climbing the Record Books
Junior Alyssa Baron passed three former Quakers over the weekend and is now in sixth-place on Penn's all-time scoring list with 1,227 career points. Baron is 29 points from surpassing Natasha Rezek (1992-94, 96) for a place in the Top 5. Baron became the 19th Penn women's player to reach 1,000 career points on Nov. 30. She is the third-fastest Quaker to accomplish that milestone (60 games) and the first since Biemer topped the landmark in 2008. Only Penn's all-time leading scorer (man or woman), Diana Caramanico (48 games) and Mandy West (52 games) were faster to 1,000 points.
Two Penn Wins Would...
... be the first season sweep of both Columbia and Cornell since 2005.
... be the first season with three Ivy sweeps since 2004-05.
... mark the five-game win streak since 2004-05 and first five-game Ivy win streak since 2003-04.
... be the first seven-win Ivy season since 2006-07 and first 14-win season since 2004-05.
... mark the best nine-game Ivy start since 2003-04 Ivy title season (8-1).
... make the Quakers 14-9 overall and 7-2 in Ivy play.
A Penn Win Would...
... match last season's overall and Ivy win totals.
... make the Quakers 13-10 on the year and 6-3 in Ivy play.
Two Penn Losses Would...
... mark the first back-to-back league losses in over a year (span of 15 Ivy games).
... make the Quakers 12-11 on the year and 5-4 in Ivy play.
... be less good than two wins.
Charge for a Cure!
For the third straight year the women's basketball team is dedicating its entire season to the fight against several diseases and the team needs your help. In its first two years, 109 donors have joined the "Charge for a Cure" program which helped the team raise nearly $7,000. Each month of the season will be devoted to help a specific disease with personal ties to the program—The Michael J. Fox Foundation, Go4theGoal, the American Cancer Society, The Dave Bryan Ride on Fund, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of America. At the end of each month, the coaches will total the number of offensive charges the Quakers have taken as a team and fans can pledge a donation per charge. This month the Quakers will be taking charges for ALS and the Dave Bryan Ride On Fund, but the team is turning to its fans to lend a hand in its efforts. Here is how you can help!

Last Time Out
Where to start? It was a milestone weekend for the Quakers as they swept Harvard and Dartmouth for the first time since 2004 and the first time at The Palestra since 2001. Penn's 77-72 win on Friday night snapped a 17-game and nine-year losing streak to the Crimson, while Saturday's 63-40 victory marked the program's most lopsided win over Dartmouth. Freshman Keiera Ray scored 50 points on the weekend, including the first 30-point performance by an Ivy player this year, and became the first Ivy player—male or female—to earn USBWA National Player of the Week honors in addition to Ivy League Co-Player of the Week and Ivy League Rookie of the Week accolades. Penn has now won five of its last six Ivy games and moved into sole possession of second-place in the Ivy League.
Up Next
Its the final road trip of the year for the Quakers. It is also the league's longest trip. Penn buses to Hanover, N.H., to take on Dartmouth on Friday, March 1 at 7 p.m. The following night, the Quakers will be in Cambridge, Mass., for a 6 p.m. matchup with Harvard.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a sake tasting in the Food Network Kitchens hosted by Timothy Sullivan, a "Sake Samurai" and founder of UrbanSake.com. I think I was likely the least educated about sake at the table — I was a total sake virgin. Thankfully, Timothy had some great takeaways to make sake more approachable for someone like me.
Sake: It's More Like Beer Than Wine
When Timothy asked if we thought sake was more comparable to beer, wine or spirits, I voted for wine. But it turns out, sake is more like beer. Both beer and sake are made from fermented grains and need a brewing process to convert starch to sugar (whereas with wine, the sugar comes from the grapes). In the case of sake, the grain used happens to be rice.
To quote Timothy: "It's built like a beer but drinks like a wine."
It Takes a Grid to Understand Sake
Well, this tip doesn't exactly make sake seem that approachable. But Timothy's grid actually demystifies sake and will help you understand how to order it in a restaurant.
Across the columns of the grid are the two styles of sake: fortified vs. pure rice style. As indicated, the fortified style has distilled alcohol added to the product whereas the pure rice style does not.
The rows of the grid are created by taking into account how much milling of the sake rice was done before steaming and brewing take place. The less milling, the more the drink has a "rice" taste to it. That's not necessarily bad; it's just a fact.
And where the row and grid meet, you find what that type of sake is called. That should help you understand what those terms mean when you see them on a menu. You can find out more about the grid and what each type of sake is like on Tim's site.
The Most Common Sake in Japan Isn't Even Available in the U.S.
Futsu-shu — a minimally-milled, fortified style sake — is the most common type of sake found in Japan. It's very affordable and is usually the "house sake". This style makes up about 80% of all sake made in Japan, but it's rarely exported as the profit margin is so low.
Sake Will Knock You on Your Ass
If you're not careful, that is. Most sake has an alcohol percentage of between 15 and 16%. This is significantly higher than most beers (though some craft beers do get up there). So drink with caution.
Oh, And Don't Warm It Up
Unless you want to. Timothy believes there is a sake that will shine at any temperature — warmed, room temperature or chilled. It's important, though, to start with a quality product. A good sake will taste good regardless of how you serve it. He does warn, though, that sake in the U.S. is often served too hot: "There's warming and then there is sake abuse."
Sake: It's All About Experimentation
Remember how I said most sake is between 15-16%? Well lately, sake makers have been mixing it up and creating lower alcohol sakes, in addition to fruit-flavored sakes, cloudy sakes, sparkling sakes — there are so many styles to try, you've just got to jump in and give it a go.
A great place to start? Timothy's website, UrbanSake.com. He does a Tuesday Q&A that's a great resource. You can also submit your own questions and see if he'll answer.

New interim executive director named for state brand committee
More Ag News
Jim Jenkins, a fifth generation cattle rancher and restaurant entrepreneur from Custer County, is an independent running for the U.S. Senate.
Four Republican candidates are gunning for the job, but Jenkins says parties are not the answer. He said Congress is broken because the parties dont work together.
The proverbial can is kicked further down the road on the most important issues of the day, he said.
Jenkins platform will encompass the following:
Work together and find strength in the middle of both parties to solve the issues of our nation today. Top problem: the overburdening debt of the country.
Allow citizens to run as a non-partisan for all political offices.
This will add much needed competition to a two party system, he said as he called for opening primary elections to any registered voter who wants to run and then allow the top two candidates to square off in the general election.
Americans are not nearly as divided as cable TV and the political class would have us believe, he said. The vast majority of us are somewhere in the sensible center. The majority of us want the same things: security from enemies; education for children; a reasonably fair playing field; infrastructure that supports the economy; freedom to pursue our dreams and a government that facilitates rather than impedes economic growth and freedom.
Jenkins says the sensible center is not heard and certainly not represented in Congress. He welcomes Republicans, Democrats and Independents, everyone who is fed up with the broken system in Washington, to join his campaign.
Its time for change, he said.
Jenkins has been a business entrepreneur, founding, co-founding or working in key roles for more than a dozen companies.
In the 1980s, he worked on President Ronald Reagans transition team as an assistant to domestic policy advisor Edwin Harper who served as Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Assistant to the President.
He founded the Whiskey Creek chain of steakhouses, where he helped develop and market the flat iron steak. After selling Whiskey Creek, he and his management team founded Skeeter Barnes, a steakhouse and barbeque that currently operates three locations in Nebraska.
Jenkins has served on the Nebraska Ethanol Board, including two stints as chairman, and been active in local government as a member of the Custer County Planning Commission. He has also worked with the Nebraska Public Power District to establish wind farms in Nebraska and served on the board of the Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalition.
He is married to Julianna Jenkins, an attorney in Broken Bow, and together they have three adult children, Whitney, Peter and Haley.

RELATIVES of Burnley's 1914 FA Cup winning team were invited to Towneley Hall to see an exhibition celebrating the historic moment.
More than 100 family members packed out the grand hall after watching the current team bag a win in the final home game of the season.
Supporters had travelled from the other side of the world just to be there to see the team celebrate being promoted to the big time and to mark the 100th anniversary of the monumental cup win against Liverpool in 1914.
Alan Curry, who is the great nephew of winning goal scorer Bert Freeman, travelled all the way from Melbourne, Australia, to witness the celebrations.
The 66-year-old said: "It was wonderful. It was my first ever game of soccer last Monday and Burnley won.
"I could not have dreamed of it. I am a good luck charm! I have been following the Clarets with intent."The exhibition, in the hall's Long Gallery, was prepared by Burnley FC's historian Ray Simpson, who had collected memorabilia from the 1914 match, which was attended by King George V and was played exactly 100 years ago on Friday.
Among the items on display are a royal box edition of the programme, pictures of the cup's arrival in Burnley showing packed streets around Elizabeth Street, replicas of the cup itself and shirts worn by the players.
The club also got permission from Buckingham Palace to create a special 1914 shirt with the Royal Coat of Arms badge on it, instead of the usual club crest, to mark the occasion.
Margaret Jackson, Bert Freeman's daughter, travelled from Birmingham with her husband Leonard to be part of the celebrations. Mrs Jackson, 91, said: "My dad told me very little about the FA Cup final, but he once said he played with shoes that were a size too small for him.
"It was fantastic to be there for the match. I am very proud of what he did. The exhibition is very nice too."
Joy Green, 84, daughter of Billy Watson, said: "I like football and I always see how Burnley are doing. I am very proud of what my father did. He would have been over the moon with the promotion."

A PLEDGE to improve crisis care for people with mental health problems and stop them from being locked up in police cells has been supported by Dorset's Police Crime Commissioner.
The Mental Health Concordat, unveiled today, is an agreement between police, mental health trusts and paramedics stating that police custody should not be used because mental health services are not available.
Statistics show that 36 per cent of people sectioned under the Mental Health Act are placed in police cells, but the pledge challenges local services to ensure that services are always available for patients who need them urgently.
Dorset PCC Martyn Underhill said that he welcomes the multi-agency agreement, which has been signed by a number of national organisations.
"Police and Crime Commissioners have led a vigorous campaign to ensure that detainees and victims of crime with mental health problems receive the right care, at the right time and in the right place," he added.
"In Dorset, in keeping with several other areas of the country, we have a pilot street triage scheme to improve mental health care for those in crisis launching in a few weeks' time. We also have a Liaison and Diversion pilot in our custody suites."
Health officials said they hope that the agreement will half the number of people inappropriately detained in police cells by next year after it was revealed 8,667 people were detained in England in 2011/12.
Care and Support Minister Norman Lamb said: "When someone has a mental health crisis, it is distressing and frightening for them as well as the people around them.
"Urgent and compassionate care in a safe place is essential - a police cell should never need to be used because mental health services are not available."

I have a job-related AMA site that's doing relatively well and seeing consistent growth in organic search traffic. Currently all questions and answers appear on a single page. IOW, if an ice sculptor's hosting an AMA, all of the Q's asked of him (and his answers) appear on a single page.
I want to know whether there is any SEO benefit to perhaps putting every question/answer combo on its own page. I know that online magazines / newsletters will often split up an article across 2 or 3 pages, which is obnoxious, but I figure they're doing it to increase page views (and hence ad impressions.) But we're not even hosting ads yet, so I don't really care about page impressions...I'm asking purely from an SEO perspective. Would putting every Q/A combo on its own page allow us to do things that would enhance our SEO? For example, I'm imagining that we'd be able to customize meta data for every page specific to that question+answer (that would be very time-consuming, though I guess we could use a script or something.) Any other benefit to doing that? We like the fact that all Qs and As appear on a single long page now...and frankly from a UE standpoint, that definitely makes the most sense. But how about re: SEO -- I'd love to hear any suggestions for how we might be able to make our A+ (in our opinion ofc) content even more attractive / relevant to SE's.
No. Simple enough answer? It will not help SEO at all. It will only make the UI that much more complicated for no reason, drive people away. KISS, Keep it simple, s****d.
Thx for answer. Agree on the UI front. My thinking was only that perhaps it would..."concentrate" relevance-juice if content specific to a search query was the only text that appeared on a single page. For example, consider the query "How do you get into ice sculpting?" We actually have an ice sculptor answering that very question...so the thought was that search engines might designate a page as highly relevant if that were the only content that appeared on a page. Moreso, that is, than if that were just one of 20 questions the ice sculptor answers on a page. I don't think that's all that irrational a thought...surely it's not all that crazy to think that search engines look not only for relevance but specificity when determining relevance to a search query...?
Sure, but having it all on its own page doesn't create specificity it only creates a fracture of content. Having more content that is the same relevance, in this case ice sculpting will give that page a boost in specificity because it is all on the same subject. Breaking it up reduces specificity, and would require a user to be more specific in their searches. In turn you will miss out on unspecific searches which is the bread and butter.
I think you're better off doing it the way you are at present. The search engines are more likely to favour a site with fewer pages and a relatively large amount of content on each, rather than one with a large number of fairly sparse pages.
Right, I agree with both of these sentiments...and generally speaking -- and especially from a UE standpoint without thinking about SEO at all -- the site simply makes more sense the way it's currently built.
Here's the only thing that had me at least entertaining the question of whether I could optimize it further. Consider Yahoo Answers, where they just have one question per page (forget, for the moment, about the fact that Yahoo Answers kind of sucks). Check out the image below of the SERP for the query How much do bull riders get paid?:
So THIS is really what I'm talking about. I fully grant you that Jobstr.com 'works' best as currently built with all questions with 1 Q&A host on a single page (frankly, I don't even know what it would look like with separate pages).
BUT, the name of the game is still traffic, right? So I don't think it's a crazy question to ask whether we'd be better off, in the aggregate, if we were able to insert the actual question in the meta title, like Yahoo Answers does. A lot seems to hinge on what was written above:
would require a user to be more specific in their searches. In turn you will miss out on unspecific searches which is the bread and butter.
I guess this presupposes that unspecific searches ARE our bread and butter...but that's a premise I can't categorically swear is true. (By the way, thanks for the replies guys!)
It depends whether you think that is what is pushing you below Yahoo! Answers. There are some megasites out there like Yahoo! Answers and Wikipedia that do very well on reputation, and can outrank other sites that are more targeted, no matter how good those other sites' <title> is.

Gregg Williams Quotes [4:46 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"(Punter) Brian Moorman really flipped the field for us today. I don't know how many punts he had today of more than 50 yards, but he did a great flipping the field. Those three guys that got the game balls today. There will be more tomorrow."'
Drew Bledsoe Quotes [4:45 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"You know what, this is an interesting game and for the past month we have not been playing particularly well and we also haven't gotten any breaks over the last month. I think that when we watched the film there are times when we are trying to get something going and then something negative happens, where something just doesn't bounce our way. You have to be able to continue to go to work, continue to get better, and then eventually it all evens out. You play long enough and play hard enough, eventually those breaks will come back your way and we got a couple of them today."'
Travis Henry Quotes [4:44 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"We played with a sense of urgency. The offensive line and everybody, myself included, knew that we had to get the running game started because before the season started that was one of the areas we knew we had to be good at and improve in. The first couple of weeks we were not doing it. Today the offensive line blocked great and we knew we had to come out and have a physical game in the run game considering that Eric Moulds was out. We just had to take control and that was what the offensive line, they took control of this football game."'
Ruben Brown Quotes [4:43 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"I know a lot of people are not giving us much of a shot going out to Kansas City, but that doesn't bother this team. We're working hard, we're focused in on our goals and going to keep plugging away and hope everything works out for us."'
Josh Reed Quotes [4:42 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"My whole team has been behind me. Playing the same position, we have a little closer bond. He's been through this, he's been able to work me through it because he has had first-hand experience."'
Aaron Schobel Quotes [4:41 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"It's just as big as any other week. We'll start back on Wednesday like we do every week, and get after it. We had a good attitude all week, we practiced hard and everyone took it real serious."'

Steve Spurrier Quotes [4:39 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"Well not too much to say, Buffalo dominated the game. It looked like we had a chance to get back in it at 10-7 but we fumbled on the one-yard line, maybe we could have gotten into the ball game. Overall they ran the ball, we couldn't run the ball very well, and they beat us pretty good. We didn't have too many yards, had two drives about the whole game other than that we couldn't get much going. They played well, give 'em credit they dominated us."'
Bruce Smith Quotes [4:38 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"It's obvious it's frustrating to everyone on this team from the coach on down and anyone who deals with this organization. Words can't explain how this team feels and how I feel. As far as coming back and playing in front of these fans. It certainly was an emotional experience for me for all the years that I have been here they all have supported my career and I just want to tell them thank-you. It was an honor to be back in this stadium. Also, it was nice to be here when Daryl Talley and to see so many of the individuals that I played with. It was a great treat for me."'

Post-Game Quotes [4:35 AM]
Redskins.com reports: '"They moved the ball pretty well the whole game and we never really did. They dominated the whole game, but we were in it for a little while there. We actually could have had the lead if we didn�t fumble on the 1-yard line when a guard hit Patrick as he was trying the handoff. Give Buffalo credit, the way they played and the effort they gave, their going to beat us 19 out of 20 times no matter how many breaks they got."'
Bills Trounce Redskins, 24-7 [8:08 PM]
Redskins.com reports: 'It was a disappointing loss overall for the team, as Buffalo rushed for nearly 200 yards. Patrick Ramsey struggled throughout and ended the game 9-of-26 for 115 yards. He left the game in the fourth quarter with an injury and did not return to action.'

Bills fans keep Redskins up all night [3:18 PM]
Stadiumwall.com reports: 'Their whole floor, with the exception of their room, is 'Skins players and coaches, and Gary and Danny stayed up until 3AM with the TV cranked up and running up and down the hallway yelling at the top of their lungs, barely dodging Adams Mark Security by ducking into an engineering/housekeeping closet.

I don't think anyone can take as many memories away from that stadium as I did."'

Bruuuuuuuce [5:14 AM]

Q&A: Mark Campbell [5:13 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Explain what the violence in the NFL is really like?
�It�s a sequence of car crashes. I think I read Tiki Barber or Ronde Barber say that the following day you get out of bed slowly and you do a body part check. That�s kind of what it�s like.

The One who created an icon
The One who created an icon
2016-03-16 - In April we are recording an interview with Max Barenbrug, the chief designer at Bugaboo. And we want YOU to ask the questions!
What would you ask the inventor of Bugaboo strollers?
Max Barenbrug is the co-founder of Bugaboo: the man who invented the first Bugaboo stroller in 1994, while he was still a student of the Design Academy in Eindhoven. This design was his university thesis – and it's been the prototype for every single Bugaboo stroller made ever since…
Max graduated with honors, but unlike his contemporaries he didn't go out and get himself a design job. Instead he sacrificed everything to work from a tiny attic space in Amsterdam, to try to turn his graduation project into a real product. Which he eventually did, with his friend and co-founder Eduard Zanen.
Max's perseverance and belief in his idea has turned Bugaboo from a sketch into a multinational company with more than a thousand employees, whose products are sold in over 50 countries, worldwide. More than that, his idea is now used by hundreds and thousands of parents all over the world.
- And guess what? Max still works at the office every single day, working on innovative new designs to help people move freely through their world.
Wouldn't you like to know how he did it? This is your chance to ask him your questions!
Send in your questions, with your name and where you are from to email@example.com

PHILADELPHIA - The University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team scored twice early and twice late, and the result was a 4-0 victory over NJIT Sunday at Rhodes Field.
Penn improved to 6-4-0 on the season, while NJIT fell to 2-8-3.
Penn needed just 3:19 to get on the board. A long throw-in from deep along the left sideline by Jazmyne Simmons bounced past several players to the front of the goal, where Kathryn Barth was able to get a foot on it as she turned and pushed a shot past goalkeeper Samantha Bersett's left side.
Less than 10 minutes later, the Quakers made it 2-0. Kerry Scalora took a ball from Erin Beck along the left wing and one-timed a long cross to the far post. Freshman Erin Mikolai was there waiting, and she headed the ball over Bersett's head under the bar.
Penn's third goal came with just over 13 minutes remaining in regulation. On a corner kick from the right side, Brianna Rano sent in a ball that was headed home from directly in front by Kaitlyn Moore. Just a few minutes after that, Mikolai completed the scoring when she finished a leave by Elissa Berdini from about 15 yards out.
Penn outshot NJIT, 22-6, as Sarah Banks went the distance in goal and was called upon for two routine saves.
Penn returns to action on Friday night, hosting Columbia at 7 p.m. in another Ivy League game. The Quakers are then at Saint Francis (Pa.) on Sunday.

06-11-2013, 01:43 PM #18161I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way
XCØM2 LØNG WAR CØØP Campaign Long War novices Welcome, now with 100% more laser guns!
In case of forum degradation pull cord.
Finally found something in my backlog that I like and that something is Waking mars. So far only plays about an hour of it, but I'm eager to go back and explore more those shiny red caves.
Will probably stop playing Two worlds 2 at the moment, due to loss of interest. It's pushing most of the right RPG buttons (simple crafting, plenty of loot, things to kill, skills to upgrade), but the world itself feels empty and un-welcoming with not much to explore beyond the main quest and the few side ones.
Also bough the recent bundle (didn't beat the average though) so I might play Fear 3 and LOTR: WitN, since those are the only games from that bundle I haven't played yet (and won't feel bad if I'll from them to the big pile of games I'll never play).
I'm a bit mad at XCOM: EU right now.
I just lost my Colonel sniper (First colonel on this classic ironman game) because my SHIV chose to bug out, preventing me from moving it during the las five or so turns of the mission. It was in a rescue mission from the council, a mission I needed to make a succes. The VIP was within dashing distance of the extraction point, but no with no less than four overwatching thinmen, unreachable for most of my squad, specially since two of them had to reload. My idea was to sacrifice the SHIV, making it activate all of the shots, but since it got bugged that was impossible to do. My only choice left (because the damned things had the VIP flanked) was to move my colonel onto their LOS or lose the mission, since everyone else was too far away. I did it, to my surprise, every shot failed to connect. But on the next turn they flanked and killed her.

Spelunky: why can't I stop?
I am managing to tear myself away to get some Saints Row: The Third in. It's been heaps of fun, although I think I'm getting towards being personally done with it. I shall try to stop myself getting too distracted and focus on the missions, which have been increasingly pleasingly bonkers.

Oh, God, I snapped and downloaded Pinball FX 2 when I found out they'd made the Sorceror's Lair table free for PC, too. Oh God it's every bit as phenomenal as it is on tablets and now I have to buy every single table I own on Android a second time and probably more of them into the bargain and oh God oh God my poor wallet.
Seriously, this has been pretty much one of my favourite games of all time since I first started playing last year, even though I'm terrible at it and in no danger of getting anywhere near any of the leaderboards. Not the sort of thing that turns up on RPS much, I suppose, but it bloody well should be. I must have put ten hours into World War Hulk alone. I am the green scar! I am the world-breaker! I! Am! The! HULK! Pure, distilled arcade bliss.

Don't really have time to sit down for a proper match, but Geforce Experience says that, with my new card, I should set all BF4 stuff to Ultra. YAY!!!
BUt I will say what I am NOT playing. I am NOT playing the new Splinter Cell (Wrong Voice Actor but Fun Gameplay Edition). Why am I not playing that? Because FUCK YOU UBISOFT!!!!!
Downloaded and installed during Agents of SHIELD last night. No complaints there. Comparable to Steam.
Started up when I got off work today. Started downloading a patch. Taking a long time. Watched an hour and a half long podcast. STILL fucking downloading. Went off to make supper, ate. Ran patch. Clicked to start game.
It is now downloading ANOTHER FUCKING PATCH!!!!

Splitting my gaming time between Path of Exile, still, and WRC4.
The more I play PoE, the more impressed I get. It's such a remarkable achievement for a small indie company. So much depth in an ARPG, so many possible variations, so many ways to make fun builds.
WRC4 is a neat surprise as well, much much better than WRC2, the last one I played. Unfortunately force feedback is completely broken on my G27, so while I wait for a patch or a mod (the latter is more likely), I've been playing it with my trusty X360 controller. Lots of fun, nice cars, the stages are well made, career mode is a joke. Shame it's going to get stale rather soon, since the stages aren't varied nor long enough - and a rally game dies once you start knowing every stage as well as you know a normal racing circuit. I hope one day Milestone will take this next, bold step and give us actual rallying stages instead of fantasy ones. But it's a faint hope.

Mostly been playing the shit out of Mortal Kombat 9's story mode. There's a lot of "clones," every damn character has a teleport and a ranged attack, the story mode is heavily stacked against you and yet I just keep coming back for more. It helps that there's an absolutely absurd amount of content. Here's a quick list of every utter bastard character in the game:
- Shao Kahn, dear Lord. Did they rip this guy out of King of Fighters or something?
- Ermac
- Sektor
- Quan Chi
- Smoke
- Sektor
- Goro
The game was nigh-unplayable for framerate issues. I was ogling upgrades (not just for MK) but I ended up overclocking my processor instead. Got a 20% boost without a voltage increase and no signs of instability, and it seems to have solved the problem for the most part. It's a damn shame, as the slowdown seems to be widespread and there doesn't seem to be a fix coming anytime soon. I would've been all over Injustice if I could trust them to do a decent port. Ah well... Ultra Street Fighter 4 is coming soon anyway. Much as I love the new Mortal Kombat, I would be wary about buying either game as I'm not entirely convinced that the problem is my ancient computer.
Nuclear Throne's my other compulsive squeeze. Not sure if they're just continually making the game harder or I'm picking up way too many chests, but by the time I get to the third world I can hardly walk for all the enemies... To say nothing of the bullets. Vlambeer are releasing weekly patches and the game has only gotten better (especially with the screen shake turned off... No headaches for me, thanks) with each one, so buy it.
Tried playing a few games of Company of Heroes, both vs humans and bots. It served as a sharp reminder why I rarely play RTS games. We lost terribly.
Batman: Assassin's Creed almost turned me off with that god-damned combat system. The first few battles truly just consisted of waiting for dudes to run at me and then countering. I turned the game off in disgust. Luckily, within half an hour or so the goons actually figure out how to attack two at a time! I tried replaying Arkham Asylum a while back and got bored within an hour or so, so it's nice that Rocksteady actually listened and improved on the single biggest problem with their game. Not loving it, but warming to it a little. I can't believe people actually think it's the bar for a melee combat system when so there's so many better ones out there, but it has enough else going for it that we can get along. I did immediately put on TAS when I closed the game and enjoyed it much more.
And finally, Satazius. Why the fuck are there walls in space?
More and more finding myself pouring hours into arcade games and "quick fixes." Bounced straight off Outlast, I Have No Mouth etc, Natural Selection 2, Incredipede, and the aforementioned Company of Heroes because I simply don't have the capacity, patience, time or will to learn their systems or digest their tales. Could be a phase, or I might just have to start being a lot more judicious about what I buy.

Let's see, over the past couple of days....
Crysis 2
System Shock 2
CoD:MW3 MP
Super Hexagon
Tomb Raider
Hotline Miami
Dark Souls
Batman:Arkham Asylum (best batman game is best batman game, the rest are just more of this game)
Most pumped for System Shock 2, Monaco, Dark Souls, and Super Hexagon. I'm just replaying B:AA, Hotline Miami, Crysis 1 & 2, and the others. Terabyte hard drives go cheap these days!
Jagged Alliance 2 1.13
I want something different this time. Maybe I'll roll a lonewolf rambo-type guy and go solo with melee weapons, silenced pistols and smgs, minimum armor and stuff. Something like that. Probably will rush to Meduna from the beginning only stopping to grab some better gear. That means no city control, no militia, no money, no Skyrider helicopter, no Bobby Ray. Doubt I'll finish it, but at least I'll try.

Braves claim suspended game, win seventh straight
Uggla, Upton deliver in 10th as club finishes Friday's halted contest
NEW YORK -- Many Braves players were not happy with the fact that they were forced to continue playing through the heavy rain that fell as the Mets tied Friday night's game with a two-run eighth inning against Anthony Varvaro.
But 16 hours after exiting Citi Field feeling frustrated with the events that transpired just before Friday's game was suspended because of rain, the Braves returned and quickly finished what they had started.
Brian McCann capped a three-hit game with a double that set the stage for Dan Uggla to deliver a decisive RBI single in the two-run 10th inning that gave the Braves a 7-5 win over the Mets.
"Uggla comes up big," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said of his veteran second baseman, who had also provided a key game-tying home run in the seventh inning on Friday night.
It is safe to say the Braves captured their seventh consecutive victory in a unique manner. This was their first suspended game since they beat the Cubs on April 5, 1997, in the second game ever played at Turner Field.
Umpiring crew chief Dale Scott signaled for the tarp to be placed on the field almost immediately after the Mets tied the game at 5 with their two-run eighth inning on Friday. The game was suspended after a rain delay that lasted a little more than an hour.
After Freddie Freeman walked to begin the decisive 10th inning against Brandon Lyon, McCann doubled down the right-field line. Uggla followed with his broken-bat, game-winning single to left field.
B.J. Upton's successful squeeze bunt scored pinch-runner Jordan Schafer with an insurance run for closer Craig Kimbrel, who tossed a scoreless 10th inning to notch his 15th save.
"The [squeeze] was not on," Gonzalez said. "It was B.J. trying to get another run, and he had the right guy on third base in [Schafer]. It was a good heads-up play and he was able to get us an extra run."
Varvaro struggled to grip the baseball as he issued a leadoff walk and uncorked a two-out wild pitch that tied the game as a blinding rain blanketed the field during Friday's eighth inning.
But when given a chance to complete his two-inning stint amid the much friendlier conditions on Saturday, Varvaro completed a perfect ninth inning.
"He did a nice job yesterday in tough conditions," Gonzalez said. "We ran him out there because we were kind of short in the bullpen. We thought if we could get just one inning out of him, it would be perfect, and we did."
Before Varvaro struggled in the rain, Evan Gattis had come off the bench to deliver a two-out, two-run single in the top of the eighth. Instead of serving as his third game-winning pinch-hit in a span of six games, the single simply provided the Braves enough cushion to force Friday's game to be suspended.
Before the two-run single from Gattis, who is now 5-for-7 as a pinch-hitter, the Braves' run production consisted of Freeman's first-inning two-run homer off Jeremy Hefner and Uggla's seventh-inning solo homer off LaTroy Hawkins.
Uggla's ninth home run of the season and fourth in a span of 44 at-bats erased the one-run lead the Mets claimed with Marlon Byrd's soft two-out single to center in the fifth inning off Kris Medlen, who allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings.
When Freeman hit his first-inning home run into the second level above the right-field wall, it appeared the Braves might extend the woes of Hefner, who had compiled a 4.70 ERA and gone winless in his previous eight starts. But the Mets right-hander surrendered just one hit after the first inning and retired 16 of the final 18 batters he faced during his six-inning effort.

Topic: Update on RFA Procedures
Hi all:
It's been a busy time, so I wanted to bring my cc friends up to date. I've had two of three planned RFA procedures to ablate four visible tumors. Three procedures were required because of the size and positioning of the lesions. The largest had grown quickly and was oddly shaped, so ablation required six positionings of the probe and nearly four hours on the table. Dr. Katz feels confident he got good margins, however. The second was in the caudate lobe near the vena cava, and also required extended time because of the difficult position. The third will be on two small tumors that are easily accessible. Imaging will confirm the success of these and if any clean up is needed. Even though there won't be visible tumors to measure results, Dr. Lenz is willing to "see" this as active disease and do follow up chemo. It will be Folfox, rather than Gemzar, since my bilirubin numbers tend to stay marginally elevated.
There's been one frustrating complication. For the last procedure I was in a prone position for four hours, which resulted in a brachial plexus injury. I woke up and couldn't move my arms...which sucked. They scrambled fast to get me hooked up with neurology and physical therapy. It's been two weeks and the left is now mainly functioning but weak, while the right remains largely unusable. With therapy, I should get good functionality in a couple of months. It makes my job challenging, like typing with one hand and an inability to write, but I'm adjusting. In the overall scheme of things, it's a minor setback, and we see all of this as positive. Fighting cc certainly puts things into a new perspective!
Thanks for letting me share, and for your continued good wishes.

Object Description
|10 La. 29; APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF PROBATES FOR THE PARISH OF EAST BATON ROUGE. Where the will does not give the seizin of an estate to the testamentary executors, in the legal or technical sense of the word, yet when the heirs are absent from the state, and the executors took possession of the whole estate, as they clearly had the right to do, they are entitled to full commissions on the amount of the inventory, after deducting bad debts, &c. In the absence of the heirs, the testamentary executors who are put in possession of all the property, have it under their charge and responsibility, even when there is no express or legal seizin given, and are entitled to full commissions. Parole evidence is admissible to show the nature and extent of the possession of the estate by the executors, when there is no express seizin given by the will. After the executors have surrendered the estate to the heirs, legatees who are unpaid have a direct action against the heirs for the amount of their legacies, and must resort to it for redress. This is an action commenced in the Court of Probates for the parish of East Baton Rouge, by the executors of the late John Anderson, in which they present their account of the administration of the decedent's estate, accompanied by the proper vouchers, with a detailed statement of the moneys received and disbursed by them. They allege that one of them, as he was authorized by the testator to do, took into his possession the plantation and slaves of the deceased, and administered them from August to October, 1833, when one W. A. Anderson, for himself, and as attorney for the other heirs, caused themselves to be recognized as such, and were put in the possession of said property and estate. The executors further allege, that they are bound to see that the provisions of the will are carried into effect; but that the heirs have refused to do so, especially, to pay a legacy of one thousand dollars, bequeathed to Phebe, a colored woman, and also a negro child, borne since the date of the will, from Louisa, the latter of whom was also bequeathed to Phebe. The executors likewise claim the sum of two thousand and twelve dollars, as a commission of two and one half per cent. on the inventory of the testator's succession, amounting to eighty thousand four hundred and eighty-eight dollars, after deducting two thousand four hundred and eighty-eight dollars, for bad debts. They pray that they may be allowed and may have decreed to them the several sums and objects specified, and for the purposes alleged; and that the account of their administration be approved and homologated, and that they be discharged. The attorneys for the heirs filed exceptions to the petition and account of the executors, and specially deny that they are entitled to commissions of two and one half per cent. on the whole amount of the estate of the decedent, but only on such part as actually came into their possession, to wit, the proceeds of sixty bales of cotton, sold by order of the Court of Probates, the executors not being constituted detainers of the estate by the will. The defendants also except to so much of the executors' demand as requires the payment of one thousand dollars for the legacy to Phebe, and the delivery of Louisa's child to her. They aver that the Probate Court is without jurisdiction of the latter claims, the District Court alone having jurisdiction of such matters. They conclude with a prayer that their exceptions be sustained, and for general relief. The will under which the executors acted, is in the olographic form, and contains the following clauses, to wit: "I hereby will and bequeath to my brother William Anderson, merchant, in Richmond, Virginia, Helen Anderson and Margaret Young, my youngest sister, both residents of the same city, all my property, real and personal, to be equally divided to each, except the following donations, viz: I leave to Phebe, one hundred acres of land, known by the name of Taguinos Place, with all the improvements thereon, and four negroes, viz: Phil, Jeanny, Big Louisa and Long Frank, and one thousand dollars in cash, to be invested in bank stock. At the death of Phebe, the said land and negroes, and increase, to become the property of a yellow boy by the name of Alexander, son of Jeanny; and in case of his death, to revert back to my said heirs. This I do for Phebe, for her long and faithful services to me. "I hereby appoint A. Bird, general P. Thomas and major Vail, my executors of this my last will and testament, and earnestly request them that every thing may be settled amicably between my heirs, and that no law-suit on any account shall be between them. If they cannot agree, let it be settled by arbitration" &c. The testator also annexed a schedule of his estate to the will, estimated by him at one hundred and seventeen thousand and one hundred dollars. The will was duly admitted to probate, two of the executors, Bird and Vail, qualified and acted under it. On the trial, the plaintiffs proved by witnesses their possession and seizin of Anderson's succession. This testimony was excepted to on the ground that no parole evidence of seizin or possession could be received. The will must authorize and show it. The judge of probates overruled the exceptions of the defendants. He considered that under articles 1676 and 1652 of the Louisiana Code the executors had a right to the seizin of the estate, and that under the will they had possession and administered the whole property of the testator, and that they were entitled to their commissions on the amount of the inventory as prayed for. Judgment was rendered in favor of plaintiffs against the defendants, homologating the accounts of the executors; allowing them their full commissions, and that they recover one thousand dollars to pay the legacy to Phebe, and the slave child of Louisa, born since the date of the will, and that the defendants pay costs. The latter appealed. Brunot for the plaintiffs, contended: 1. That the executors had the actual possession and the seizin of the testator's estate, as appears from the face of the will itself. It shows that the heirs were all non-residents, and they did not obtain possession for several months after the succession was opened. 2. In the construction of olographic wills, effect should be given to the intention of the testator, as gathered from all the circumstances of the case, and the relative position and situation of the parties. It is not to be expected, that men unacquainted with the niceties of the law, will execute their olographic wills with that technical accuracy specified. That seizin was intended to be given to the executors in this case, is evident from the general power conferred on them to manage the estate. 3. The Probate Court is required to appoint an attorney to represent the absent heirs, which was done in this case, as they were all absent. He is to act until the succession is liquidated and settled, and how could it be settled, if the executors have not the seizin? Louisiana Code, articles 1654-5, 1705-6 and 8. 4. The judgment homologating the executors' account, is correct, not having been opposed by the attorney for the absent heirs. So far as any account might be claimed by the heirs, they are precluded in this case, by the judgment and proceeding putting them into the possession of the estate, which is res judicata. 3 Martin, 481. 9 Ibid., 727. 2 Louisiana Reports, 587. Code of Practice, 1004, 1008, 997. 5. The part of the judgment decreeing the payment of the legacy to Phebe, and the delivery to her of the slave child, is correct. The executors are required to see the provisions of the will are complied with, and the intentions of the testator carried into effect. Until this is done, the executors are bound to act. Louisiana Code, 1655. T. G. & M. Morgan and Turner, for the defendants. Elam submitted the following additional points on the part of the plaintiffs. 1. The judgment of the Probate Court is contrary to law and evidence, and should be reversed. 2. The executors had not, either by the will or law, seizin of the whole estate, and could not charge commission thereon. See Will, Louisiana Code, articles 1652, 1653. Napoleon Code, 1026. 3. That part of the will which gives a donation to Phebe, contains a substitution; hence it is null and void. Louisiana Code, articles 12, 1567. 5 Martin, N. S., 302. 6 Louisiana Reports 321. Therefore, the executors could not demand the slave child, nor the investment of the one thousand dollars as a legacy. 4. There is no proof that this child is the offspring of Louisa, or that Louisa had any child born subsequent to the making of the will. *BULLARD, J., delivered the opinion of the court. The executors of the last will of Anderson having surrendered the estate to the instituted heirs before the year of their executorship had expired, presented their account of administration to the Probate Court, showing a small balance in their hands in money. They pray an allowance of about two thousand dollars for their commissions on the amount of the inventory, deducting some bad debts. They further demand of the heirs to pay the one thousand dollars as a legacy left by the will to a servant, who had been emancipated by the will, and to whom that sum was given to be invested in bank stock, but which the executors had not paid or invested during the time they were charged with the care of the estate. They further demand a young slave, the child of one of the slaves, given as a legacy to the same servant, born after the will was made. The heirs made opposition to the account thus rendered, on several grounds, most of which are not now insisted on, but more especially to the amount of commissions, and to that part of the petition which relates to the legacy to Phebe. They deny the jurisdiction of the Probate Court, and the right of the executors to recover of them. The Court of Probates allowed full commissions as claimed, and gave judgment in favor of the executors for one thousand dollars, to be invested by them for Phebe, the emancipated servant, as well as for the young slave; and the heirs appealed. It is contended by the appellants, that by the will the executors had not seizin of the property of the estate, and consequently, according to article 1676 of the Louisiana Code, they are not entitled to commissions upon the amount of the inventory. Admitting that the will by its terms does not confer the seizin in a legal sense of the word, yet the next article of the Code (1677) declares, that "if the executor has not had a general seizin, his commissions shall only be on the estimated value of the objects which he had in his possession" &c. In the present case, it appears that all the heirs were absent from the state, and that the executors proceeded to take possession of all the property of the estate, as they had clearly, under such circumstances, a right to do. The seizin spoken of in the Code is derived from the testamentary law of France. According to the doctrine of Pothier, such seizin is not incompatible with that of the heir, for it is not a true possession; the executor possesses in the name of the heir, and it is the heir who is the real possessor: the executor is constituted sequestrator of the property. Pothier des Testamens, 90. When seizin is not given by the will, the heirs may retain possession, except so far as it may be necessary to pay debts and legacies. But in the present case, the executors were, in the absence of the heirs, instituted by the will, put in possession of all the property; and it was under their charge and responsibility, until the heirs appeared and possession was delivered to them. To show the extent of their real possession, we think the parole evidence excepted to was properly received. Believing that the possession of the executors was legal and beneficial to the heirs, we are of opinion that they are entitled to commissions according to the article of the Code, just cited. As it relates to a legacy of one thousand dollars, to be invested in bank stock for Phebe, the executors would have been authorized to retain sufficient funds in their hands to execute that part of the will. But they appear to have surrendered the whole without insisting upon that right; and the will being as obligatory on the heirs to deliver the legacy as upon the executors, the legatee who is not joined in the present suit, has a direct action against the heirs, for this purpose. We are, therefore, of opinion, that the Court of Probates erred in rendering judgment against the heirs for that sum and for the child of one of the slaves, bequeathed to Phebe. It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the judgment of the Court of Probates be reversed and annulled; and it is further considered and adjudged, that the account rendered by the executors, be confirmed and approved, and that they retain in their hands the balance of five hundred and fifty-eight dollars and twenty-six cents; and that they recover from the heirs the further sum of fourteen hundred and fifty-three dollars and ninety four cents, with costs in the Probate Court; those of the appeal to be paid by the plaintiffs and appellees.
