Miley unravels late as D-backs fall to Yanks
NEW YORK -- In the moments after Wednesday night's game, Wade Miley sat in a silent D-backs visitors' clubhouse staring into his locker, trying, no doubt, to understand how things had gone so wrong so quick.
One minute, the left-hander was mowing down the Yankees one after the other while his teammates built a three-run lead.
Then the D-backs' lead evaporated in the seventh, and pinch-hitter Travis Hafner won it for the Yankees with a two-out, pinch-hit homer in the eighth and Miley and his teammates were left trying to explain a 4-3 loss.
"The way Wade was going, I definitely didn't see us losing this game," said reliever David Hernandez, who gave up Hafner's blast. "But that's why they play nine innings. It just kind of unraveled at the end."
How it came apart is what had Miley upset at himself as he walked off the Yankee Stadium mound.
With two outs in the seventh and a runner on first, Miley gave up a bloop double down the left-field line to Brennan Boesch.
"We got two outs and Boesch got that blooper, a jam shot, and he got a double out of it," D-backs catcher Miguel Montero said.
Miley then seemed to lose his feel for the strike zone, walking the next two hitters -- Eduardo Nunez and Jayson Nix -- to force in New York's first run.
"He was one pitch away from getting out of it, and he couldn't get it done," Montero said. "It's pretty sad, because he threw a heck of a game."
With each pitch to Nunez and Nix, you could see the frustration building in Miley. First, pitching coach Charles Nagy came out to try to calm Miley down and then Montero took his turn, but neither seemed to make a difference. Miley had faced bases-loaded jams 16 times previously in his career and had never walked a batter in that situation.
"When I walked Nunez, I was just trying to throw it 100 mph to the next guy and got frustrated and started pulling off a little bit and walked two in a row," Miley said. "They did a good job getting guys on in that seventh inning. I think I got two pretty quick outs, and then it just came unraveled. They did a good job seeing pitches, not getting overaggressive and I just kind of handed it to them."
As D-backs manager Kirk Gibson walked toward the mound to take the ball from his starter, Miley screamed into his glove, his anger directed at himself. Miley sat on the bench while reliever Tony Sipp warmed up and screamed some more into a towel and then began to tug on the threads of the towel with his teeth.
Finally, he climbed to the top step of the dugout to watch Sipp face Brett Gardner with the D-backs still ahead, 3-1.
Gardner battled Sipp before the Yankees center fielder lined a single into left that scored a pair of runs to tie the game at 3.
"I thought Wade pitched well enough to get a win right there," Sipp said. "I feel really bad. He had a good start, a quality outing. It changes with one AB. My job is to come in and get a batter out, and I didn't do my job today. It affected him, because he should have had a win right there. Instead, he gets a push."
Hernandez came on in the eighth and retired the first two batters he faced, before Hafner hit the first pitch he saw -- a fastball up in the zone -- over the wall in right-center.
"After the fact, I kind of wish I would have pitched around him a bit more, especially with [Yankees catcher Francisco] Cervelli on deck," Hernandez said. "I feel like that was a better matchup for me. Definitely wish I would have had that pitch back. I wish I would have slowed the game down a little bit more. It was a bad pitch."
Said Hafner: "I think you're looking to be aggressive and you're looking for a good pitch to hit, something you can drive. And I was able to put a good swing on the ball and fortunately got it out."
The D-backs had built a lead against one of the game's better pitcher in southpaw CC Sabathia behind Paul Goldschmidt's first-inning, two-run homer, played outstanding defense -- especially third baseman Martin Prado -- and had gotten six strong innings from Miley before the seventh.
After the game, though, none of that seemed to provide any consolation.
"It doesn't matter what happens through the first six," Miley said. "Just, I didn't get the job done in the seventh."

The University of Richmond's Digital Scholarship Lab [4] recently launched "Visualizing Emancipation [5]," a remarkable mapping project about the end of slavery across the American South during the Civil War. The interactive map plots the shifting legal boundaries of slavery and the locations of United States army regiments alongside thousands of documented actions by enslaved men and women to represent the complicated routes African Americans found to freedom. The project relies on military correspondence, newspapers, and letters and diaries to map the efforts of enslaved men and women. Students, genealogists, and the general public have begun to contribute their own research through the project's crowdsourcing interface to help tell the story of the end of slavery in the United States.The project is directed by Scott Nesbit and Edward L. Ayers and was funded through a Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant (HD-51083-10 [6]). Last week, I was at the NITLE Summit [7] and had the pleasure of attending a keynote speech by Ed Ayers. I have to say, the audience was extremely impressed by the Visualizing Emancipation project both as a research and teaching tool.
Do check out the project website [5], as well as their press release [8], and an article [9] from the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Congratulations to Scott, Ed, and the Digital Scholarship Lab.

Combine two of the Caribbean's best Costa Rica trips in this 3 day/2 night trip. A visit to Tortuguero National Park, an overnight stay in the Lodge in the park, an overnight stay off the beaten path near Siquirres at Finca Maquengue and a whitewater rafting trip on the world famous Pacuare River!
Included is transportation from Puerto Viejo, San José or Arenal to Tortuguero and return transportation to your choice of San José, Puerto Viejo or Arenal. 2 nights accommodations, 8 great meals (3 breakfasts, 3 lunches and 2 dinners), all-day thrilling whitewater rafting trip on the Pacuare River and awesome activities in Tortuguero.
Tortuguero National Park is located in the Limón Province of northeastern Costa Rica. It is the third-most visited park in Costa Rica, despite the fact that it can only be reached by airplane or boat. The park has incredible biological diversity due to the existence within the reserve of 11 different habitats including rainforest, swamps, beaches and lagoons. Tortuguero National Park has a humid and tropical climate receiving up to 250 inches of rain a year.
Its beaches are key nesting grounds for endangered sea turtles, such as Hawksbill, Loggerheads, Green, and Leatherbacks. The rivers within the park are home to sensitive populations of manatees, as well as caimans, crocodiles, and Tropical Gar, which are considered to be a living fossil. The forests are home to jaguars, three species of monkeys (spider, howler, and white-faced Capuchin), and three-toed sloths. Basilisk lizards and poisonous frogs also inhabit the area, along with 375 species of birds including kingfishers, toucans, blue herons, peacocks, and parrots. There are more than 400 species of trees and approximately 2,200 species of plants.
This is one of the best places in Costa Rica to spot wildlife. Monkeys, sloths, crocodiles, toucans and many colorful frogs and insects are all common sights. Visiting during the turtle-nesting season from July to October is one of Costa Rica's highlights!
We have daily departures from San José, the Caribbean coast, and the Arenal Volcano, providing you the choice to start and end this tour at the place of your convenience.
Whitewater Rafting on the Pacuare
This trip gives you the ultimate blend of wilderness exposure and invigorating excitement. The Pacuare River is world famous for its pristine beauty. A true river gorge, it is flanked by steep, green walls. Waterfalls cascade into the river from both sides as colorful, tropical birds fly overhead. There's a chance you may even see sloths, monkeys or the elusive jaguar! Amazing views of this virgin tropical rainforest appear before your eyes as you make your descent down the river.
The whitewater is equally exciting; the amount of rapids covered on this outstanding trip makes it one of the most memorable river trips you will ever experience.
Upon arrival to the river, we will gear you up with a life jacket, helmet, and paddle and then brief you with a full safety orientation. Finally, it is time to take off down the rapids!
The first four miles consist of fun class II-III rapids. This is the perfect time to test your new river skills and gain confidence in your team. Here you can find pockets of secondary growth forest that are incredibly beautiful. After about 40 minutes, we will enter the famous Pacuare River Gorge, which is made up of five miles of some of the best whitewater Costa Rica has to offer. The rapids here are Terciopelo Snake, Double Drop, Upper and Lower Huacas, and Pinball to name a few. You will also see the Huacas waterfall, a 150-ft dramatic drop into the river.
Just a little over halfway through the trip, you stop for lunch at a site with bathroom facilities. After a delicious and well-deserved meal on the beach (vegetarian options are available), the next section of river opens up to a five-mile stretch on the Valle del Pacuare. The main rapids here are Cimarrones, The Play Hole, El Indio and Magnetic Rock. The forest remains just as lush and the rapids just as fun.
We finish in Siquirres, at our own private Exploration Center. Here you can take a shower, change and enjoy the gardens and terrace while having refreshments and reflecting with your new friends about the great adventure you just shared.
At the end of your tour (on the evening of the third day), you are dropped off at your hotel in San José, the Caribbean coast or the Arenal Volcano area. This is a great trip to do on your way to or from the Caribbean coast or Arenal as it includes your transportation!
Accommodation while in Tortuguero is at La Baula Lodge.
La Baula Lodge is a hotel that features 40 cozy, rustic rooms of varying sizes. Each room has a private bathroom, hot water, a ceiling fan, and views to the gardens, with all meals included. The lodge is located in front of the Tortuguero Lagoon, and it's a 5-minute boat ride from Tortuguero National Park. The lodge features an authentic Caribbean style painted with bright colors that identify the culture of the area, lush and exotic gardens, swimming pool and a large bar, Internet, WiFi, laundry service and experienced guides. On-site there is a restaurant, rental boats, canoes and 24-hour Internet café.
There are many animals that visit La Baula Lodge, like the famous howler monkey with its natural wake-up call every morning! The red frog lives in the lush gardens, and the blue morpho butterfly flutters around the many green areas found on the property.
Accommodations in Santa Marta de Siquirres are at Finca Maquengue. This is a great place to spend the night well off the tourist path!
Finca Maquengue is located a short drive (25 minutes) from the rafting exploration center and has beautiful views of unspoiled nature, including the active Turrialba volcano. The property offers five scenic waterfalls, and there is a well-marked trail with a couple of small hanging bridges that connect them. You can see all of them and even go for a swim.
This is for the 3 day/2 night option and this is the typical order, but rafting and Tortuguero may be swapped to create an equivalent itinerary depending on space and river conditions.

Hi guys,
so after having had my Senior Prom, I can safely say that I absolutely RECOMMEND THIS DRESS! I seriously have NOTHING to complain about it! It is absolutely stunning! I ordered mine in Gold and trust me, I was quite scared, but the color stayed true to what the website shows and I literally got wonderful compliments the WHOLE NIGHT! people said I looked "radiant" and this dress really made me feel like a princess! I bought size 6, usually I'm a ten but after having measured myself several times, I felt I could still fit in a 6! It was a perfect fit and I can't express how happy I am with the quality, service, and products of LightInTheBox.
Oh by the way, I am pretty short but I wore quite high heels which worked perfectly and therefore it didn't make my dress too long! :)
Dear, I have so many problems with gold dresses.. The wedding of my friend is coming and I need gold dress.. I don't know where I can find the dress of my dream with good price.. I want to ask you...is it possible to send me more photos of your dress if I give you my email address? Thank you very much for you help! Waiting for your reply!
по olesya.bukova 10.1.2013
This dress is AMAZING in red!
I ordered it for my senior prom about a month in advance and it came in 23 weeks!
I got a size 4 without custom measurements and it fit perfectly! I'm really a 4 so it's true to the size.
The sheer part isn't as sheer in pictures but it doesn't really matter. You can hold it to the side indoors or let the wind blow it to the side outdoors. You can see the sheer material more outdoors.
The sequins are really nice because the entire underdress is covered with them.
There's a built in bra but I wore it with a strapless one anyways.
I'm also short (5'2") but with heels (5") it was perfect.
I am so in love with this dress!
You gourgeous in that dress
по leamay_strahan 29.6.2012
I bought this dress in red and I love it. The chiffon isn't as sheer as it looks in the model's photos, but it still looks awesome. I got a size 6 and it's a tad bit large, but it's not a problem.
Thanks, Light In The Box! Can't wait to show off my dress at prom ;)
Oh, and here are some photos of the dress. I know some people have been wanting to see it in red :) The first photo has no camera effects, the second one does, so the color is lighter.
quest abito nero,QUARTILLA per il 30 settembre...non è possibile??Poi come si effettua il pagamento??grazie mille
Ciao Maria Pia, se ordini l'abito entro la fine della settimana ti arriverà di sicuro entro il 30 settembre. Per le informazioni sulle modalità di pagamento leggi qui: http://www.lightinthebox.com/it/index.php?main_page=knowledgebase&chapter=1079&id=1692
по maddalena 13.10.2011
Quite good, but not super awesome. True to color and glovelike fitting and everything. But WITHOUT a spotlight like the one in the picture, you wouldn't look as stunning as the model. I want something with dual poles of the beauty; classical gracefulness and sexy cuteness, but it only turned out to be something in the middle. *sigh* And I think more skin exposure is needed, because it's too classy while I want something more skanky. By the way I am US 2 size and 5'7 (170cm) tall. Hope this help.
I didn't fill in the right measurements so it didn't fit perfectly so I really recommend you to give your measurements, because then, the dress is really beautiful! all my friends were jealous when i was showing the dress.
with the right shoes, it's top class! It looks like a million dollars!
My best friend's actually borrowing it right now because she was going to a ball. everybody wants it!
cet robe et magnifique et a une bonne tenue elle a d ailleurs permis a ma fille de gagner son coucours de miss merci
The dress arrived quickly and was truly gorgeous in royal blue. I found the bra cups sewn inside uncomfortable and felt it either too small or sewn in the wrong place. I am a larger busted woman. For a lady with small bust this would not be an issue. I will wear the dress but not with as much enthusiasm. So I recommend this dress highly, however advise full=figured women to select a different style. I had to pin the chiffon skirting up to avoid stepping on it. I am 5'7" and it dragged the ground several inches.
Can you PLEASE post a picture of this dress in the royal blue? Thanks.
по Chelsea 5.11.2011
Please post a picture of the dress. :)
по Nicole 10.11.2011
Thanks for the pic. It looks beautiful!
по Nicole 17.12.2011
the built in bra: is there a push up effect?
по schnuffchen.bluhm 2.2.2012
Все отлично, размер угадан , платье СУПЕР!!!
Шикаарное платье!!прошито все изумительно как хорошо..и посылка из китая ЕМС почтой шла 9 дней..что ооочень приятно удивило=)

Fresh at FLEFF
News, Views, Updates and More about the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival
Saturday, March 24, 2012
The New China occupies the news, with fear, anxiety and competitiveness. At FLEFF, see the new China in new ways, with banned, underground, radical, and transnational projects that refute these global clichés from the ground up.
Beijing Beseiged by Waste (Wang Jiu-liang, China, 2011; 71 min.)
Photographer Wang Jiu-liang travels to more than 500 landfills, fearlessly documenting Beijing's unholy cycle of consumption through poignant observational visits with the scavengers who live and work in the dumps. While China's economic ascent commands global attention, less light has been shed upon the monumental problem of waste spawned by a burgeoning population, booming industry, and insatiable urban growth. Award-winning photographer Wang Jiuliang focuses his lens upon the grim spectacle of waste, excrement, detritus, and rubble unceremoniously piled upon the land surrounding the China's Olympic city, capital, and megalopolis, Beijing. With Kevin Lee, in person, from dGenerate Films, Sat, March 31, 7:10, Cinemapolis.
Winter Vacation (Han Jia) (Li Hongqi, China, 2010; 91 min.)
It's the last day of winter vacation in Inner Mongolia. Four aimless adolescents enjoy their last hours of freedom drifting between the barren spaces of their small town. They make surreal visits to homes of family and friends, including an unhappy little boy who dreams of becoming an orphan to escape the tyranny of his family. A prevailing absurdity casts over their lives as they endure petty instances of bullying while arguing over the purpose of school, teenage love, and life in general. Winner of the Golden Leopard for Best Film at the Locarno Film Festival, the third film by poet-novelist Li Hongqi announces him as a major figure in China's independent cinema. Targeting the nonsensical undertones of modern Chinese society, Li unleashes a mercilessly deadpan humor that's as biting as the film's wintry landscape. With Kevin Lee, in person, dGenerate Films, Sunday, April 1, 1:30 Cinemapolis
Cotton Road (Laura Kissel, USA, 2012)
From fields in South Carolina to factories in Shanghai, "Cotton Road" makes visible the production cycle of an agricultural commodity through the stories of workers who transform raw cotton from a seed in the ground to a product on a store shelf. The film begins with farmers and seeds and ends at a retail store. In between, it tracks the travels of cotton to China where young factory girls dye, spin and sew, manufacturing the products we desire to consume. Connecting our consumption to the labor behind it, "Cotton Road" weaves a portrait of globalized work in the 21st century. With Laura Kissel and Matt Hockenberry, in person, Sat, March 31, 2 p.m. Cinemapolis
The 15th Annual Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival, exploring the theme of Microtopias, runs March 25-April 1, on the Ithaca College campus and downtown at Cinemapolis. For a full schedule of events and bios of guests, click HERE.

LEIPSIC — Smoke'E's in Leipsic had a
packed house Thursday night when they hosted a fundraiser for cystic
fibrosis. The fundraiser was in honor of five-month old Evelyn
Tussing, who has cystic fibrosis. Evelyn is the daughter of Aaron
and Kelly Tussing, Leipsic.
"We want to support the foundation as
they do research to find a cure for cystic fibrosis," said Aaron.
"It's not a high priority disease when research is funded." Aaron
said he believes they are only a few years away from finding a cure.
Supporters walked around wearing black
t-shirts with butterflies with the symbolic cystic fibrosis purple
ribbon in the center.
"We've already sold 200 shirts,"
Aaron said.
Supporters could buy tickets to enter
for drawings of several tables filled with prizes varying from coffee
makers to jewelry, food, and a large handmade barn.
Smoke-E's also donated a percentage of
their sales from chicken wings toward the cause.
Fourteen competitors sat down during
the fundraiser to see who could eat the most chicken wings. In the
end Drew Golden was able to "out eat" others in the competition
to win a beer sign.

If you can get past seeing Santa Claus with a gun (it only shoots ice), your child can help Santa Claus save Christmas.
The objective is to shoot the "bad guys" with ice and keep them frozen by continuing to shoot with more ice.
Eventually they transform into gifts and you move to the next level.
Watch your space bar - it will get a fair beating as this doubles as a trigger.

Adeesha Ekanayake '14
School of Humanities and Sciences | Computer Science
Adeesha Ekanayake grew up in Sri Lanka, an island nation off the coast of India. When political tensions closed the university he was attending, he wanted a more stable educational environment. So he flew 9,000 miles away from home to go to Ithaca College.
"Sri Lanka is a small country," he said. "Getting off the plane at JFK, I'd never seen such scale. I felt cut off from my moorings."
Fortunately, he'd enrolled in Ithaca College's HOME program, a multicultural housing arrangement for international students. "The best thing I did was keep my door open. I met a lot of international students as homesick as I was. Plus, we were serious about our studies. We clicked. We got over our culture shock."
A computer science major, Adeesha and three other students came up with an idea for an app that can scan garments in clothing stores to show negative environmental impacts regarding how the clothes were made. The team decided to enter their idea in the Business Idea Competition held by the college's School of Business—and finished first in the software category. The team enjoyed splitting the $5,000 prize, but it was the "idea" part of the competition that sparked Adeesha's passion for research.
"I helped a faculty member with her research, and she encouraged me to start projects of my own. At a lot of larger institutions, you wouldn't get a chance to spend time with your professors and get to know them personally. At IC, that's a given."
Another one of Adeesha's projects is a video game for physical therapy patients. Exercises recorded by the therapist are performed by a virtual figure on a Microsoft Kinect system. Appearing as a second figure, the patient is challenged to mimic the virtual one. The more accurately the exercise is performed, the more points the patient earns.
Adeesha also worked with assistant professor of computer science Doug Turnbull on MeUse, an Internet radio recommender. When a listener uses MeUse to search for an artist, it recommends three Internet radio stations and provides information to help the user choose. A paper on the project was accepted for presentation at the 14th International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference.
"I'd originally planned going back to Sri Lanka after graduation, but there are too many employment and research opportunities in the U.S. to pass up, and IC opened my eyes to them."

7:00pm Friday 4th January 2013
7:00pm Friday 4th January 2013
A 57-YEAR-OLD man found with pornographic images on his computer and CDs at his home told police he considered girls of 14 years of age to be approaching adulthood.
Blackburn Magistrates' Court heard David Michael Forshaw was unrepentant, telling police he considered once a girl had breasts, there was "nothing wrong" with it.
Forshaw, of Peronne Crescent, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to possessing indecent moving images, making indecent moving images, and distributing indecent moving images.
He was sent on bail to Preston Crown Court to be sentenced after the magistrates ruled their powers of sentence were not adequate.
A condition of bail is that he does not associate with anyone under the age of 16.
Neil White, prosecuting, said police discovered a number of images, both on the defendant's computer, and on CDs.
"It appears he labelled some images CP, standing for child porn, and others AP, standing for adult porn, said Mr White.
"Despite the differentiation, he says that once a girl acquires breasts and pubic hair, he no longer considers them to be a child.
"He says girls of 14 are approaching adulthood and he doesn't see anything wrong with them wanting to have sex with an older man."
Mr White said Forshaw admitted to police that he was aware the images were illegal, and accepted distributing them.
"He was totally unrepentant and you may consider your powers are insufficient and you should send this case to the crown court," said Mr White.
Aftab Bakhat, defending Forshaw, said his client accepted the matters would be dealt with at the crown court.

Has anybody tried/used this software? I tried it years ago, but a lot of things could changed since then.
I guess I am the only one who has used CuteFTP. Took it for a spin, but it was overkill for what I need.
I use FileZilla as my FTP client.
Yeah, I've heard of filezilla, I think it ships XAMPP. Not familiar with specs though.
Well, sort of. The server-side component of filezilla does (so you can host your own FTP server). The client is responsible for connecting to an FTP server. There are no "specs" per say. FTP clients are pretty much the same.
I was impressed with the blurb and purchased their CuteFTP when is was on special offer.
I am now back to using FileZilla.
I believe they have a trial version, give it a try and see it suits your needs.
FlashFXP is the best and the last FTP server I have used.It Supports FTP, FXP, FTPS, and SFTP file transfers..
It's not free, and other free clients can do the same thing.
Yes I used cuteftp it was ok if I remember but I think the reason I stopped using it was when the trial period finished. I now use filezilla, works really well and is free. The one thing I have found is that if I want to delete a load of files from a server it is very slow just due to the fact it has to connect to the server and I imagine all ftp programs will have the same issue, use the filemananger in your hosting account if you want to delete lots of stuff.
I use CuteFTP, and I like it, but quite frankly there are far more important things to worry about than how you move files from one machine to another.
In an ideal world, you wouldn't transfer files over FTP and you'd have some form of Continuous Integration pulling changes from your dev repo.
I started out on CuteFTP back in 2004 and used it up until about 2009. It's a good program. I now use Coda which I absolutely love.
I have used CuteFTP for a number of years now, and, am more that happy with it. Heck, I even recommend it.

Book a flight to Johannesburg with Qatar Airways and you'll find yourself amongst 4.4 million people who call South Africa's largest city home. Known locally as 'Jo'burg' or 'Jozi', there are re-developments in the city centre and inner suburbs that ensure modern-day Johannesburg is thriving.
From the cultural hub of Newtown to the Soweto township and wildlife parks, there is plenty to recommend South Africa's commercial centre to visitors. You can fly to Johannesburg from most international departure points, and discover one of the most diverse cities in South Africa.
Take a trip to Johannesburg and you'll discover a city that has distinct zones with very different characters. Newtown is the city's cultural district, and you'll find museums, galleries and jazz clubs here. Any visit should start in Mary Fitzgerald Square, the perfect spot for people-watching at a café. Head for Soweto where you can visit the Apartheid Museum, filled with artefacts and pictures from South Africa's turbulent past. It's easy to spend half a day here browsing the fascinating collection that charts the rise and fall of Apartheid and its impact on the people of South Africa.
You'll also find Nelson Mandela's first house in Soweto, which has been turned into a museum. It's worth travelling to the northern suburbs, where the Johannesburg Planetarium and the South African National Museum of Military History can be found. Four hours outside the city is Kruger Park, one of the country's most important sporting arenas.
Taking a guided tour remains the best way to ensure you don't miss out on any of the main sights when you travel to Johannesburg. A walking tour or hop-on, hop-off bus tour lets you see sights such as Constitution Hill and Gold Reef City Theme Park at your own pace, as well as find out more about the city's complex history.
On a hot day in the city, a visit to Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens is the perfect way to escape the city centre. There are picnic and braai (South African barbecue) spots here, as well as the opportunity to spot birds such as the endangered black eagle.
Families should head for the Lion Park, where you can visit the cubs and enjoy a self-drive trip through the game area. Watch out for giraffes, zebras, antelopes and, of course, lions. Areas such as Sandton City are increasingly popular with tourists, particularly if some serious retail therapy is the order of the day!
The range of cuisine available in Johannesburg's restaurants is as diverse as the city itself, with South African cuisine taking its influences from Indian and Malay flavours. Cuisine from many different regions can be found here and there is a trend for al fresco dining. It's possible to eat well for a reasonable price in the city, but you'll also find no shortage of fine dining establishments offering top quality cuisine that fuses both regional and international flavours.
Local dishes focus heavily on meat, but there are vegetarian options available. Outdoor braai (barbecues) serve Boerewors, spicy South African sausages. You'll also find dishes such as Bobotie, minced meat with curried spices and egg sauce, and Chakalaka, a Malay/Indian salad of cauliflower, carrots and spices. Rooibos or red bush tea is widely served and is a great, caffeine-free alternative to traditional black tea.
Craft markets are the ideal place to pick up beautifully made wire and bead jewellery or African crafts. Try the Rosebank Flea Market on Sundays and Mai Mai, the city's oldest market, for unusual souvenirs.
For arts and crafts, visit the city's malls on your trip to Johannesburg. Whilst many are filled with chain stores, there are malls which feature independent shops too; Johannesburg has more than 360 independent stores where you can haggle for the best prices. For the more high-end international chain stores, head to the Cresta Mall or Sandton City.
Flights to Johannesburg with Qatar Airways arrive at O.R. Tambo International Airport, 13 miles from the city centre.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Johannesburg please check the visa and passport requirements.

Bobby Gonzalez is the now disgraced former coach of the Big East's Seton Hall Pirates. A controversial figure, Gonzalez's on-court results never matched his sideline and off-court bravado. He was eventually fired, and then continued to make headlines after being charged with theft.
Now Gonzalez's sister, Linda, who is known for absolutely nothing as far as I am aware, wrote a "top ten" on her blog of the worst college basketball writers in America.
Not just any ole "top ten" list, this one includes the "WORST, LEAST CREDIBLE, MOST CONFLICTED SPORTSWRITERS [sic]." Enter Grammar Nazi mode: "least credible, and most conflicted sportswriters," Exit Grammar Nazi mode.
And according to Linda, the top ten (drum roll please) is: (1) Pete Thamel of the New York Times, (2) Pat Forde of ESPN, (3) Jeff Goodman of CBS, (4) Lenn Robbins of the New York Post, (5) JP Pelzman of the Bergen Record (New Jersey), (6) Gary Parrish of CBS, (7) Mike Francessa of WFAN New York, (8) Dana O'Neil of ESPN, (9) Sean Brennan of New York Daily News and Eammon Brennan of ESPN.com (tie), and (10) Dick "Hoops" Weiss of New York Daily News.
It gets better though. For each writer, she includes paragraphs of varying lengths explaining her reasoning which ends with a bolded (just in case you lose your place in the wall of text) "Prediction Fantasy." The prediction fantasy is her desired end result for each writer which ranges from physical pain to emotional embarrassment to new professions outside of the media.
It is quintessential Gonzalez: a little in your face with just a tad too much crazy mixed in. Linda is not all bad, it seems. She makes a quick list of her five favorite writers at the end of the blog entry. That list is not nearly as fun as her main one, however.
If you thought Linda was done with her flaunting opinions, you were wrong. The Big Lead, a sports blog / website, Tweeted the blog entry which found its way to many of Linda's "victims."
Linda then attempted to refute The Big Lead's quick write-up on the blog. Again, not nearly as entertaining as the top ten list. The subsequent entry is basically a defense of her brother.
The timing of this blog is odd given that Gonzalez has been out of the news for a while since his firing. Perhaps, a spur of the moment thing. Or maybe Linda's been sitting on it for a while. Regardless the motive, you mess with a Gonzalez, you get the Linda.

In the letter, Schultz asked baristas at Washington, D.C.-area Starbucks to write "Come Together" on coffee cups for the rest of the week.
"In the spirit of the Holiday season and the Starbucks tradition of bringing people together, we have a unique opportunity to unite and take action on an incredibly important topic," Schultz wrote. "Rather than be bystanders, we have an opportunity—and I believe a responsibility—to use our company's scale for good by sending a respectful and optimistic message to our elected officials to come together and reach common ground on this important issue."


text: It is related from Abu Abdullah Hussain ibn Ali that he said: The lord of this rising [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will have two occultation. ONE OCCULTATION (PERIOD OF IMPRISONMENT) WILL BE SO LONG that they will say, "He is dead." Some will say, "He has been killed." Others will say, "He has gone..." Neither those who love him nor the others will know where he is. Only his close servant will know his location. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, p. 93, Egyptian edition)

Quins Ladies journeyed to Rosslyn Park on Halloween to take on a team that enjoyed a great win against Quins in a memorial game at the end of last season, with the hope of reversing that game putting some old ghosts to rest.
Early into the game Park attempted a quick chip up the field only to be halted by a beasty tackle from Quins Ladies.
Park pushed on though, driving Quins closer to their try line, inch by inch and a close call penalty gave them the opportunity to put the first points on the board unfortunately for them, missing the kick.
A Park knock on gave Quins the scrum but the ball was lost in the melee that ensued and Park managed to make a clean break up the wing to slip passed Quins' defence and score the first try of the game which they converted.
Re-starting the game, Quins Ladies put the pressure back on Park and forced a line out in which the ever great Kyra Howell comfortably collected the ball. Mauling it up the field Quins retained possession and the following kick up the pitch by fly half Jayne Goodliffe saw Park knock on and another Quins' scrum.
Quins' forwards were phenomenal in the set piece in this game and rode roughshod over the Park pack, each shove brought Quins tantalisingly close to the opposite try line but were unable to nudge across the line.
A Rosslyn Park kick up the field was ably collected by winger Jemma Cooper who sped off up the pitch, making a lot of ground and raising our spectators' hearts as she ducked under a tackle and shipped the ball out.
Becs Rowe ensured we didn't forget her name as she injected a little bit of pace and a lot of raw strength to the field, propelling herself towards the try line and through a number of the opposition. Once more Quins Ladies were frustrated from pushing over some well-needed points.
From the platform of Park scrum, the opposition retained possession but were deep in their own half and desperately trying to make use of the ball.
A kick to some space up field was collected by Jemma Cooper who powered up the field, out to Amy Smith, then Captain Nat Smith to Becs Rowe whose strength in tackles gave Quins a penalty kick that Goodliffe sent sailing over the posts and as half time brought a modicum of respite for the team, the score was 7-3.
Alas, Quins Ladies were to be confounded in the second half as try as they might, they could not squeeze past the Rosslyn Park defence.
Attack followed attack as Quins Ladies camped out in Park's own half but as each wave hit, Park withstood the pressure and forced Quins back, only for them to re-set for the next wave of try-hungry Quins players to hit the ball up.
As both teams began to feel the end drawing nigh, Rosslyn Park gathered their strength and raided into Quins Ladies' half, soaring up the wing to score their second and final try of the game, then skilfully slotting the ball through the posts.
A hard-fought game for the Ladies and a disappointing result for the effort and skill they demonstrated.

There is only one way to celebrate Shrove Tuesday (or Pancake Day) and that is by making (and eating) pancakes! These special edition pancakes are very low in sugar, high in protein and yes, they are vegan! They are thick, fluffy and perfectly sweet without a litre of syrup drizzled over.
I used millet meal along with some wholegrain spelt flour to make the pancakes. Millet is a great alternative to quinoa, but has a much milder taste and is also high in protein. Blueberries add a lovely sweetness to the batter and only a very small amount of additional sweetener is needed. You can use any non-dairy milk, I used home-made brown rice milk flavoured with pure vanilla.
Happy Shrove Tuesday!
Millet and Blueberry Pancakes
(makes 8 pancakes)
70 g millet meal
70 g wholegrain spelt flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
tiny pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil (room temperature)
1 tablespoon brown rice syrup
125 g fresh blueberries
virgin coconut oil, for frying
1. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and lightly whisk to combine. Fold in the blueberries.
2. Heat a small frying pan on medium heat. Add a little bit of virgin coconut oil in the pan and cook the pancakes in small batches, a few minutes on each side. Serve warm.

A MISSING Pershore man found dead in the river Avon has been named as Christopher Guy Treharne.
Christopher Guy Treharne, 70, who went missing last week and was known locally as Guy, was last seen in Pershore town centre during the afternoon of Sunday, March 2.
On Thursday evening (6 March), at around 5pm, a police search team found the body of a man was found in the river Avon near to Pershore Bridge. It was later formally identified as being Mr Treharne.
His death is not thought to be suspicious, although Worcester CID are investigating to prepare a report from the coroner. Detective Sergeant David Hall said: "We are trying to confirm Mr Treharne's last movements.
"A family member spoke to him on the phone at around midday on Monday (3 March) and we would like to find out what happened to him in the following days, particularly on Monday and Tuesday.
"If anyone saw Mr Treharne last week, I urge them to get in touch. I would also like to speak to anyone who saw an older man behaving unusually around the River Avon in Pershore last week."
Mr Treharne lived in the Pershore area for five or six years. He was 6ft 1ins tall, with blue eyes, dark hair going grey around the sides, a thick moustache and he walks with a limp.
DS Hall can be contacted via the non-emergency police number 101 or information can be passed on anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers (0800 555 111 or via their website crimestoppers-uk.org).

Best. T-Shirt. Ever? Close, at the very least.

I'm not quite sure what you shouldn't stop believin' in, but I know one thing for sure. It's never good to stop believin'!
Fact. And they're a lot more fun!
And here I was all thinking that Detroit was known for cars and tires and things, but they've managed to successfully make a pistol look just right. Sweet, simple tee.
Seriously. Who doesn't love some minimalist design. And this one manages to somehow look sweet, retro.Added 8 Years Ago from Turntablelab
Sometimes I wish I went to a real university (and what I mean by "sometimes" is often). Regardless though, I', sure not afraid to pose -- especially if it's with this sweet retro tee.Added 8 Years Ago from Turntablelab
I'm not completely sure, but Im pretty sure this is a nickname for Boston. Regardless, I love the athletic grey tee, with a simple print. Besides, the gren and white mesh right.

..it's a single color print on a super high quality, 100% cotton tee. with a bleeding type of style, it's totally mistakable for vintage. Plus, it's just a fun, cool design.
No, it's not my favorite neighborhood in Los Angeles. However, it has it's got its good qualities. Particularly, this shirt.Added 8 Years Ago from Altruapparel

I can't even accept the devastatingly low v-neck, for such an awesome, awesome print.
I think the most surprising thing about this shirt from Filson is that it's only $80. Genius denim. Booyah!
They say that "this is quite simply a better men's dress shirt." And from Outlier, I believe it.
This shirt bursts with summerness fun. It's that kind of preppy that Vampire Weekend wears with boat shoes. Also the stitched logo is random and interesting and totally cool.Added 8 Years Ago from Blackbirdballard
Albeit completely ridiculous, i think this si a shirt I could get behind in the summertime, for the beach.

"I loved having the ability to choose up to 4 photos since we took so many for our engagement shoot, yet they were organized in a way they still made it look simple and tasteful! Being able to choose colors that matched was great, as well as writing a detailed message on the back! Also, saving on postcard postage was definitely a huge plus!!!"
"These Save The Dates are absolutely gorgeous. We ordered them in blaze, and the colors are just lovely. My fiance and I couldn't be happier with the design and the quality of the paper. Special shout-out to the Design Team for taking the time to proof my prints, and to Heldana at Customer Service for changing the quantity to my order. WPD is wonderful!"
"I absolutely LOVE how my Save the Dates turned out! The customer service and design team went above and beyond what I expected and were extremely helpful in allowing me to customize the card (change the amount of pictures and change font styles).

The Ladies Of Manure 2013 Calendar Is A "Tasteful Synergy" Of Sexy Women And Poop
I don't think it gets much more scatological than this.The 2013 Ladies of Manure Calendar is a "tasteful synergy" of sexy women and composting. It's meant to support the Fertile Earth Foundation, which spreads the word about the eco-friendly practice of transforming your organic waste and "humanure" into "super rich black gold." Put simply, it's a $25 calendar filled with pictures of scantily-clad ladies getting their poop on. Either literally putting poop on their body, or sitting on the pot, or posing with toilet paper. They are serving sexy composting realness, as RuPaul would say.
But before you write them off as "crazy poop-loving hippies," you might want to take calendar as an opportunity to rethink what you're doing with your waste. (No thanks!) No one needs to sweep the forest. I didn't come up with that line, the narrator of the promotional video for the calendar did, and I really liked it. I've included the video after the jump for your viewing pleasure. But for now, let's look at Miss January taking a dump. Is this turning anyone on … to composting? [Gothamist]

By Melissa Daniels | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — The "right-to-work" fight isn't new to Pennsylvania. Neither is the ideological line in the sand between labor unions and lawmakers seeking to limit their influence.
But this session, Pennsylvania can become the nation's 25th right-to-work state. At least, a group of Republican House members and a coalition of supporters think it should.
On Tuesday, state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler, said five other Republican House members introduced the Pennsylvania Open Workforce Initiative. The package of six bills aims to end "compulsory unionism" for private- and public-sector unions, a practice requiring nonmembers to still pay fees.
"In right-to-work states, people can be a union member if they choose to. We're just saying, 'Let union members choose if they want to be in a union,'" Metcalfe said. "Why do they need the government to enforce it?"
The legislation comes after Michigan, a state with strong union presence, passed right-to-work laws in the midst of heated protests and full-out demonstrations in the streets of Lansing.
Labor advocates call right-to-work policies an attack on workers, pointing to lower wages, poorer working environments and an overall weakened middle class as results of weakened union power. But supporters say it's an issue of constitutional personal freedom, and that workers should have the right to decide whether they want to be represented.
Tuesday's announcement was made at a news conference with about three dozen lawmakers, business officials, school board directors and political advocates, 20 of whom gave personal testimony on why they believe Pennsylvania should become a right-to-work state.
That included non-union member and public school employee Neil Weidman, and Mary Burkholder, a nurse and former union member. There was also a presence from the national right-to-work movement, including Justin Davis of the National Right to Work Committee.
Gov. Tom Corbett already has said that he Pennsylvania "lacks the political will" to pass right-to-work laws, though he would sign them if they came across his desk. But that sentiment seems to fuel right-to-work supporters, including Rep. Kathy Rapp, R-Warren.
Warren said there are a number of "core conservatives" in the General Assembly who are committed to seeing these laws change.
"If Governor Corbett would step up, and our party leaders, and take the lead on this issue, Pennsylvania would be America's next right-to-work state," Rapp said.
Her legislation would keep unions from collecting dues from non-union public school employees, a measure she's introduced previously.
Simon Campbell is a director at the Pennsbury School Board, and the president of Stop Teacher Strikes. He called out Corbett for allowing the latest contract with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees to include a provision on compulsory dues payments. Pennsylvania law, he said, allows that to be negotiated.
"Just because it exists in a previous agreement doesn't mean it has to exist in a future one," Campbell said.
There are about 20,000 state workers who are not union members that the provision applied to, Campbell said.
But getting these laws passed in Pennsylvania's Republican-controlled General Assembly would mean winning over many Republican lawmakers who take campaign donations from labor unions. Metcalfe said that if citizens in Pennsylvania demanded that lawmakers stopped "representing the special interests of the unions," that lawmakers would listen.
With that will of the people, he said, the legislation could win approval.
"I believe that the power of the individual citizen can overcome the power of the public-sector unions and the unions at large in Pennsylvania," he said.
Stephen Herzenberg, economist from the Keystone Research Center, said right-to-work laws deliberately weaken unions and result in a weakened middle class.
"You can't look at these laws in isolation from the overall situation of workers and employers," he said. "When you look at the overall situation, the problem in the United States is not that unions are too strong, it's that they're too weak."
To the unions that these laws would affect, right-to-work laws are an adversary that they are prepared to fight.
Abe Amorós, the Pennsylvania legislative director for the Laborer's International Union of North America, said right-to-work proposals show nothing more than "hostility towards workers," whether they are unionized or not. Wages in right-to-work states like Alabama, Louisiana and Georgia are 3 percent lower than other states, he said.
Amorós said he doesn't see House members who support right-to-work finding success. In 2011, the House Labor and Industry Committee held a hearing on similar initiatives. Amorós said the bills did not make it out of the committee.
"We knew this was coming, and we're going to prepare to fight it off like we did last time," he said.
Rick Bloomingdale, the president of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, said that nonmembers who pay dues have the same protections as members that go beyond salaries and benefits. For example, a nonmember has the same rights against discrimination from a boss, he said.
"You take away unions, you take away the middle class," he said. "The two are inextricably linked in this country. We didn't have a middle class before the labor movement got strong."
Right-to-work has been introduced in every legislative session for the past 30 years, Bloomingdale said.
"We've kept it bottled up and defeated for 30 years, and we're going to keep trying to bottle it up as defeat it as long as we can."

Tired of the Cards? Farrell has answers
St. Louis has long been recognized as one of America's best baseball cities and the Cardinals one of its best-run franchises. But after winning their fourth National League pennant in 10 years, the Cardinals are not necessarily the plucky darlings from the Midwest anymore. In some fans' eyes, they're the enemy.
Annemarie Farrell, Associate Professor and Chair of the Ithaca College Department of Sport Management and Media, recently discussed this fan fatigue in an Associated Press article published in various publications last week including NBCSports.com and the Idaho State Journal. Farrell says the backlash has a lot to do with the team's success and how it affects fan identity.
"I think to a certain extent that part of the life story of being a sports fan is the struggle, the sense of grinding it out with your team. When your team is in the playoffs 10 of the last 14 years, that can come in conflict with people's ideas of what a real fan is," Farrell said in the article.
In addition to quotes from Farrell, the article cites fan reaction online as well as negative articles written by websites like Deadspin and Buzzfeed. The article quoted some fans comparing the Cardinals to high-payroll team like the Yankees.
Farrell closed the articles saying this reaction isn't necessarily a bad thing for St. Louis.
"The Cardinals are such an iconic baseball brand, and they're also a team that's hard to hate," Farrell said. "If you're going to find a reason to root against them, maybe it's because they're always good."

Strawberry Daiquiris, Lightened Upby Dana Angelo White in Meal Makeovers, June 12, 2012
Most daiquiris are cloyingly sweet and filled with booze, but make your own for a much lighter version of this classic summer cocktail.
Nutrition Facts
A 2-ounce portion of frozen daiquiri mix (no alcohol) has 120 calories and more than 5 teaspoons of added sugar. The quality of the ingredients is another sticky issue – most bottled mixers are filled with artificial colors and high fructose corn syrup. Pour in the rum and it's another 100-plus calories per shot. There are better options….
Replace rum with pineapple – save hundreds of calories per serving.
Recipe: Virgin Daiquiri
Fresh Berries
Here's a bright idea – use real berries! Punch up the flavor even more with a hint balsamic and basil.
Recipe: Strawberry Balsamic Basil Daiquiri (pictured above)
This traditional recipe also uses fresh berries. It's perfectly portioned with just under 160 calories per serving.

I spent the weekend at the Aspen Environmental Forums, and one of the presenters I got to see there as Thomas Thwaites—a man who built a toaster from scratch. As a project for his design degree, Thwaites reverse-engineered a cheap toaster from the British equivalent of Wal-Mart and used it as a blueprint to build his own. The catch: Thwaites made everything that went into the toaster. He mined the metal. He drew out the wires on jewelry-making equipment. He even found a way to make the plastic casing.
The point of this project wasn't to suggest that everybody ought to be capable of DIY-ing up their own toaster. (Really, if you wanted toast in a post-apocalyptic world, you'd really just be better off with an old-fashioned, pre-electric toaster, which held bread in a metal grille so you could toast it over the fire). Rather, Thwaites was trying shine a light on how much we rely on other people, on their skill sets that we don't necessarily share, and on centuries of technological advance. It takes a village to make a toaster. Or, rather, in this modern world, it takes lots of villages, all over the planet.
Thwaites' project was also an interesting perspective on industrialization. There are drawbacks to producing goods this way. But there are benefits, too. And when we have the necessary conversations about how to make our world more sustainable, we need to consider both sides of the coin ... and how we can get the benefits for less risk.
Cory wrote about this project back in 2009, when it was still a work in progress. The video above provides a short summary of the entire Toaster Project, including an amazing shot of the finished product which did (very briefly) work.

Team Volunteer Roles
Everyone Plays! Everyone Volunteers!
Santa Monica AYSO is a parent-based, ALL-volunteer organization. In order to deliver a quality soccer program for your children, we need your help. For some parents that might mean weekly involvement, while for others it may mean concentrating their participation a few times a year, such as with a special event or preparing the launch of a new season. Every parent has either a special talent or simply some spare time to help.
Each team has certain on-the-field roles that are necessary for the weekly success of that team, i.e, Coach, Assistant Coach, Team Manager, & Practice Chaperone. In addition, each team is required to provide a minimum of 3 referees, so we can ensure that our games are safe, fair & fun for the players. Team Referees earn Volunteer Points, which are used to qualify the team for special awards or advancement in the playoffs. The remaining parents are expected to assist in an off-the-field administrative capacity. Read through these descriptions to see what appeals to you. There are lots of choices!
No soccer knowledge is required for any role. We provide all required training/certification for Team Volunteer Roles.
Sets up and runs training and practices for the team. Is responsible for the conduct of players, parents and others associated with the team at all practices and games. (Age appropriate training & certification—provided by AYSO—will be required.)
Gives assistance to, and can substitute for, the head coach as needed. (Age appropriate training & certification—provided by AYSO—will be required).
As the coach's administrative partner, oversees team organizational needs. Coordinates parent volunteer assignments and refreshment schedules, handles communications with players' families, prepares team rosters, collects & maintains player medical release forms, etc. (Safe Haven online training & certification will be required.)
REFEREE (Center):
The official in charge of the match at every game. The referee's #1 job is to keep the game safe, fair, and fun for the players. (Age appropriate training & certification—provided by AYSO—will be required).
ASSISTANT REFEREE (Linesperson):
The assistant referees signal when the ball has gone out of bounds, signal the direction of restart and in U10 & above, recognize and signal offside violations. Assistant Refs also document the playing time of each player on the game card. (Age appropriate training & certification—provided by AYSO—will be required).
Person must be the same gender as the players. Promotes AYSO's Kids Zone & Safe Haven policies at the team level. Attends all practices and accompanies players to the restroom as necessary. (Safe Haven online training & certification will be required.)
In rare instances, due to logistical reasons, it may be impossible for a parent to volunteer in any way (i.e., working out of the country). In such cases, they may choose to Opt Out of volunteering by making an Opt Out Donation of $350 per child. However, your volunteer participation is much more valuable to our region and your child.
Rather than helping out only with one particular team, parents may choose to take on a role that benefits your division or the region as a whole. Many roles can be done from home on your own time. Learn more about a select few. (Safe Haven online training & certification will be required for most roles.)

Baroque Art: The Age of the Marvelous
The course introduces the major painters and sculptors (Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer, Caravaggio, Bernini, Artemisia Gentileschi, Velazquez and others) of 17th-century Europe by exploring a few major themes. Using, as an overarching concept, the Baroque as the "Age of the Marvelous" allows us to view intersections among the worlds of art, science, theater, printing, mechanical engineering, religion and the occult. The course examines the visual arts in relation to various contexts--economic, historic and domestic--as well as institutions--the Church, the monarchy and academies of art. It investigates the development of certain subjects that emerged as independent genres in the 17th century: still life, landscape and genre painting. The course also looks at how artists perceived themselves and were perceived (some would say "constructed") both by their contemporaries and by subsequent writers up to the present day. May count towards European Studies minor.

As China struggles with feeding a growing population and an increasing middle class, the country has been stepping up its agricultural practices, including the use of nitrogen fertilizer to spur yields. However, a new study says the country could halve its current nitrogen fertilizer use without affecting yields and would decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
The new study was published this week in IOP Publishing's Environmental Research Letters. The study showed that a 60 percent reduction in fertilizer use would significantly reduce emissions from areas that are "overly fertilized."
China's growing use of nitrogen fertilizer is believed to have dramatically increased its emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O). Since 2002, the warming effect from N2O emissions has outpaced the cooling effects from croplands storing carbon dioxide (CO2), according to the study.
Co-author of the study, Hanqin Tian, Ph.D., said, "Nitrogen fertilizer has become less efficient in recent years as the nitrogen input has surpassed nitrogen demands of plants and microbes. Excess nitrogen is not stimulating plant growth but leaving the system through leaching and nitrous gas emission.
"We need to advance education programs to inform Chinese farmers of both the economic and environmental costs of excessive nitrogen fertilizer use. Effective management practices, such as compound fertilizer use and optimized irrigation and tillage should be advanced to increase nitrogen use efficiency."

For Eye Care Professionals
Even after a restful night's sleep you can wake with red, puffy eyes that make you look and feel tired –especially during allergy season. Try the THERA°PEARL Eye Mask to help your puffy eyes look and feel better every day.
The mask can be used cold or hot. Use cold to help relieve puffy eyes and those wicked sinus headaches. It takes the sting out of a brow wax and helps reduce swelling after a cosmetic procedure (in such a case, use the mask as directed by your doctor). Heat helps relieve dry eye symptoms associated with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction or MGD and Blepharitis, reduces nasal congestion, and relieves soreness once the swelling is gone.
Chill it in the freezer or fridge or pop it into the microwave. Place it over your eyes and sinuses, or slide it up to your forehead. Its pliable, face-hugging shape stays put without drips or leaks. The therapeutic temperature should be applied no more than the doctor recommended time of 20 minutes; see directions below.
Is This Product Right For You?
THERA°PEARL Eye Mask should be applied to skin or closed eyelids no more than the doctor recommended time of 20 minutes. Remove and wait at least 20 minutes. Reapply eye mask for no more than 20 minutes, if needed.
HEAT THERAPY - Microwave for time indicated below and test pack temperature. Heat for additional 5 seconds as needed until desired temperature is reached.
CLEANING - Clean eye mask gently with mild soap.
CAUTION: For external use only. Do not use on infants. Do not ingest contents. Do not use for purposes other than intended. Check with your doctor before use on broken, irritated, highly sensitive or insensitive skin. Use only under adult supervision. Always test pack temperature prior to application. Overheating or prolonged application may cause injury to person, including burns. Heating beyond suggested time may damage or destroy THERA°PEARL pack.

The launching of Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party – which, appropriately enough, shortens to the acronym AAP – seems to have ruffled several political feathers, not least because of its name. AAP's declared manifesto to provide – for the first time in 65 years of independence – a totally graft-free government implicitly suggests that so far all the governments, involving all of India's political parties, have been guilty of graft.
Whether or not this is true, the graft-free promise is certain to prove what in marketing jargon is called a USP – a Unique Sales Proposition – for AAP in the current context of a seemingly never-ending series of scams which have tarnished the image of all parties across the political spectrum to the despair of an increasingly desperate electorate seeking salvation from the rampaging dragon of Corruption, with a capital C for 'Criminality'. Will an unlikely St George in the avatar of a white-capped social activist be able to slay this loathsome beast? Or will AAP, too, succumb to the snaky seduction of graft?
While that question remains to be answered, some in the Congress party have suggested that AAP has already unlawfully appropriated something that does not belong to it: namely, the term 'aam admi' to which the grand old party of Indian politics claims to have proprietorial rights. By incorporating 'aam admi' in its name, is AAP in infringement of patent and trademark laws and intellectual property rights? Moot points indeed.
The question that might be raised is whether the term 'intellectual', as in 'intellectual property rights', can be applied to any political party, ideologically bankrupt as they all seem to be. Moreover, in what claims to call itself a democracy can the 'aam admi' be said to 'belong' to the political class as a whole, leave alone a single political organisation? To say that the aam admi was created by, and exists for, a political party, or parties, is to turn upside down the definition of democracy being 'a government of the people, by the people and for the people' and turn it into 'a people of the government, by the government and for the government'.
Such a formulation echoes Bertolt Brecht's observation that if the people prove to be an awkward impediment in the smooth functioning of a government, the government can always elect a new people, more in keeping with its own wishes. Will AAP help to restore the people, the aam admi, to the sovereign pride of place they should legitimately occupy in a democracy? Both social and political courtesy requires politicians to say 'Pehle AAP', 'You first', to the voter.
