The Osseo High boys' basketball team has lost its all-time leading scorer Ian Theisen indefinitely with torn ligaments in his ankle.
Theisen suffered a high ankle sprain in the holiday tournament and missed 4 and a half games. He returned to action in the Jan. 9 game against Coon Rapids and became the school's all-time top scorer by scoring 18 points. He played against Elk River on Jan. 14 and scored 15 points. But in the Jan. 17 game against Anoka, Theisen played for about 30 seconds before experiencing pain and left the game.
Osseo coach Tim Theisen said upon examination, it was discovered that Theisen had torn ligaments in his ankle and will be out indefinitely.
"We don't know when Ian will be back," coach Theisen said. "He could be out the rest of the season or he could be back in 2 1/2 , three weeks. But it will be at least two weeks."
Theisen's latest injury is another blow to the Orioles, who lost senior forward Matt Miedtke to an ACL injury in December. Theisen's return in early January gave Osseo hopes for a strong run for the conference and section titles. With Theisen sidelined again, the Orioles will have to dig deep.
Coach Theisen feels his players have what it takes to continue to play at a high level. In fact, the Orioles are riding a seven-game winning streak.
"Losing two all-conference players is a huge blow but we are still doing well," said coach Theisen. "Senior Wheeler Baker has really stepped up and showed that he is one of the best players in the state. He is averaging 25 points and is scoring from the perimeter and taking it inside. And our role players have really stepped up."

Care, who featured in four of England's RBS 6 Nations matches this year as they finished second, was overlooked when the 37-strong Lions squad was announced on Tuesday.
However the 26-year-old didn't let missing out affect his game as Harlequins defeated Northampton 22-19 in the final fixture of the regular season in the Premiership.
Care was at the heart of everything good about Harlequins in defence and attack as tries from Tom Williams, Rob Buchanan and Tom Casson proved enough against the Saints.
And O'Shea, who didn't have a single Harlequins player picked on the Lions tour party, is adamant Care could still feature Down Under this summer.
He said: "We certainly feel he [Care] should be there but, if he can keep fresh and maintain his form, history has often shown that players left at home get called up for Lions tours."

SAP DB is an open, SQL-based, relational database management system that provides high availability and performance scaling from small to very large implementations. It supports open standards including SQL, JDBC and ODBC, as well as access from Perl, Python, and PHP. SAP DB is platform independent, so users can deploy it for a wide array of projects.
XMLDB uses an RDBMS to persist arbitrary XML documents. Due to its storage mechanism, searching for and recalling documents is extremely quick. You can also perform XSL translation on documents with surprising speed. The library can be used in any program to store libxml2 documents. A PHP module is also included, making XMLDB into a complete three-tier Web application development suite.
LocalSQL provides a library and command line tool for direct invocation and processing of SQL statements on local databases. A subset of SQL92 is implemented, notably 'INSERT UPDATE DELETE SELECT CREATE TABLE CREATE INDEX DROP TABLE'. Sub-selects are not currently supported. See README.SQL for more information on exactly what is and is not supported.
The eMATgine server is a multi-protocol server, in which users can request/receive results with http, ftp, wap, pop3, or smtp connection. It is a multi-terminal server, so users can use IE, or a wap phone. This server is a full multi-threaded Java server, using an HSQLDB database to provide user management.
Open Simp-X is a powerful Internet platform for everyone, attempting to change programming for the Internet with sharing database information. It strives for scalablility, reliability, and ease of use. The platform consists of a client/server pair. Security is a top priority, and data transfers are encrypted. Open Simp-X achieves scalability through plugins. Plugins can collect information, manipulate it, and send it back to the database. Writing plugins is easy since they do not have to worry about how to send or receive their information, and can focus on manipulating it. Open Simp-X can be set up to retreive data through a LAN or through a Web server.
PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension.

Photo Flash: First Look At SummerStage's Reimagined LES MISERABLES, Now Through August 3
Les Miserables will play the historic The Civil War Drill Hall Theatre in Leonia, NJ from July 16-August 3rd. This production will mark Summerstage's 15th season under Executive Producer Dr. Frank Livelli. Check below for a first look at the production!

Valjean decides to break his parole and start his life anew after a kindly bishop inspires him by a tremendous act of mercy, but he is relentlessly tracked down by a police inspector named Javert. Along the way, Valjean and a slew of characters are swept into a revolutionary period in France, where a group of young idealists make their last stand at a street barricade.

Kendrick Lamar, SXSW 2012: Rapper & Black Hippy Crew Rip Austin
The hip-hop presence was at an all time high at SXSW in Austin Thursday night (March 15), with Lil Wayne announcing a partnership with Mountain Dew, Snoop Dogg handing out Doritos, Nas, B.o.B. and T.I. rocking the Warner showcase, and Danny Brown getting pelted with a lemon, all on entirely separate stages.
Perhaps one of the most buzzed-about events of the night was Black Hippy's showcase at Clive, across the interstate, far from the major label fracas, thanks to the Kendrick Lamar-fronted group's recent signing to Interscope Records.
Ab-Soul kicked the event off with a short, blunted set, followed by an animated Schoolboy Q, who once again ripped the stage in his bucket hat, tearing through 'Bet I Got Some Weed,' 'Druggys Wit Hoes Again,' 'Hands on the Wheel,' and several other songs which evoked his possession arrest at last year's festivities.
"S— changes," the Interscope-signee announced, towards the end of his set. "S— changed for me, living out my backpack with three pair of drawers, got the random socks. S— changed for me, now I got he polo socks!"
Things did seem different for the Los Angeles-based crew. After a too-short, but lively Jay Rock set, Kendrick hit the stage, all smiles in a denim jacket, opening with 'F— Your Enthicity,' running through 'Hol' Up,' 'P & P,' and several others from his catalog, before being joined by his whole team and A$AP Rocky for rowdy, stage-diving renditions of Schoolboy collabs 'Hand on the Wheel' and 'Brand New Guys.'
There was a bit a of a snarl in Kendrick's voice, but it was hard to tell if it was from fatigue — the Dr. Dre protege has been performing relentlessly in Austin this week — or confidence.
Elsewhere, Snoop rocked 'Gin and Juice' at the Doritos stage (in the shadow of a building decked out as a giant vending machine), while outside Machine Gun Kelly made an appearance in an impromptu street music video, after wilding out at the Woodies, Raekwon paid homage to fallen Wu member O.D.B., and the night ended on a smoothly, with reggae legend Jimmy Cliff performing an adult contemporary set of his classics at the Hype Hotel.

Well, its that time of year that everybody dreads — back to school. It seems cruel to make us come back so soon. Especially when all of us poor college students have just barely gotten used to a free life without classes. Those professors have got real nerve! While everyone starts to panic about the impending stress this semester holds, I like to stay on the positive side. New year means new styles to scope out and incorporate into my own! When I saw this lovely Fashionista decked in accessories head to toe, I knew I had to talk to her.
Every girl has one go-to outfit that looks cute no matter what: chambray, black leggings and brown boots. Ringing any bells? This Fashionista's enormous, studded shopper bag is what first caught my eye. It's the perfect size to carry all of her books and she looks like a star carrying it. Once we started talking, she showed me that there are also studs on her graphic tee that give her ensemble a much edgier vibe. There will always be something about studs that give an outfit that rocker-chic look that I adore so much.
To make this look her own, this Fashionista takes the look one step further by throwing on the perfect fringe infinity scarf over her long fringed necklace. I normally wouldn't have thought to put a necklace and scarf together as it can start to look kind of busy. However, it looks so effortless on this Fashionista. To incorporate this look into your own, you might start with just a long pendant to keep it safe. No matter how subtle or how bold you go with this trend, you'll certainly get a lot of envious eyes while you strut campus this semester!
Spotted: Viktor & Rolf incorporate plenty of studs and embellishments into the spring 2014 collection, including my favorite, collars! There are some outfits studded all over and some just to enhance a specific piece of clothing. Either way, this collection is fabulous!

I've been an active IGN user for quite sometime now. I roam the blog page everyday and try to comment on as many peoples blogs as i can. If its one thing that i love about IGN, it's its community! I've been hesitant to try other game sites blogs just because i know that i won't find anything nearly as good as IGN's. Now i'm not saying that i'm conservative and afraid of change. But i just find myself not having the motivation to start on another site and build the friends and community i've accumulated here on IGN.
Since i've created my account on IGN, i've noticed tons of change to the overall site. I remember when the logo was plain and bland, to when the whole main page of the site got revamped with a fresh new look. I don't work for IGN, although i'd LOVE too, but because i've been following the site for such a long time, i feel like i'm apart of that change. And more then ever the site continues to change it's appearance, starting with it's Reviews revamp, to now the community section?
So, inorder to help the IGN community staff members, i'm giving them my opinions on what should be changed and what should stay. I do want to inform people that before they make any comments, do keep in mind that these are strictly my opinions. If you disagree with the insights i dish out, By all means let me know your thoughts in the comments section.
---MyIGN PROFILE---
Your profile in any website is supposed to distinguish who you are and give facts about you. Facebook for instance give you a profile with a huge "cover photo" as they call it, in which you express the photo of your choice. IGN does the same thing. Header Photo is IGN's representation of Facebook's Cover Photo. Now the great thing with the header is how people use it. I love the aspect of people using photoshop to customize they header, and make it uniquely suit them.
I think this should be kept as a theme through out the "myign Profile" page. adding your own sense of art work to the white canvas that is given to you.
Now one major, major, major factor i dislike about the MyIGN profile page is the feed bar that takes up the page as, in my opinion at least, wasted space. Space on a website should be used in a distinct and accurate mannor. It should also have information that the user wants to see. For instance. Instead of having just the information of your recent comments/ activity. Why not incorporate that in a small section of the page with it's own dedicated scroll bar, and utilize the other portion of the page to the recent news that you checked out. The recent videos you watched. why not incorporate a Twitter feed bar in the space as well.
I think just showing your recent commented activity is wasted space and useless to the average users eye, when it comes to attracting a user to another users page. Back in the myspace days, i used to love roaming other peoples page just to see what music they posted, also the photos they posted on their page as well.
I'm not saying do the same as myspace, but add a Gamers prospective to a personal profile page. ( for some reason i have all these ideas of a completely different design for the profile page.)
Now when it comes to IGN bloggers, i could say that every ign member spends some time roaming that page to see the new blogs recently posted. I can tell you that i find myself on it more then often. But that doesn't necessarly mean i'm on the page because i like it.
- each persons "sectional" blog preview is big enough so that you can read a snippet of what the person wrote. Which is helpful, and allows the user, assuming he/ she is intrigued by it, to click on the post to continue reading.
- The amount of time showing when the blog was posted is a plus, pretty self explanatory.
- The amount of comments that the post has received is great as well. Although i find that it is not accurate to the number of actual comments people post on a blog. Sometimes their could be 5 comments and it won't even show up on that "sectional" bit.
Possible updates:
- what the blog post page needs are some enhancements to encourage people to look for blogs and continue scrolling down. I think an addition of a rating system on the blog post itself would enhance the blog, and give the user some insight of the blog before they attempt to click on it. Something like "AskMens"system for instance. Askmen has a system that they put on each article they post. the system dubbed, "First Impressions", allows the readers to vote wither the blog is made you Laugh, Furious, think, happy, sad, or - ill spice this one up for ya - a better Gamer!
- Also the replicated Word document that you write your blogs on is not the most pleasent one i've used to date. i find it very frustrating, not allowing you to change your font size, and some other bugs. Sometimes when i post a blog, the first paragraphs are a much more smaller Font then the rest of the blog. which upsets me a little. Also Spell Check please!
- I think IGN should allow it's bloggers to incorporate some of it's own eye catchy article designs to the IGN blogger. I personally would love to use the Red separation bar IGN uses on most of their articles of today.
- one last blog enhancement i would like to see, is IGN really sectioning out the blogs page into 3 sections; New, todays highest commented blog, and This weeks top rated blog. This would give the page more personality, allowing the user to not only have just one continuous post of new blogs to look at. But 3 other options to choose from.
- Also the design of the Blog page should be more appealing! just like the new Review layout. the Blog page should have a eye catching appeal to it, that make the reader want to roam the page further.
The fact that IGN even has a leveling up system for each user is great! the only thing is that it doesn't do anything. I've seen many sites use leveling up systems, but like others they seem to come at a road block when it comes to figuring out what to do with it.
I think the Leveling up system could be an amazing potential tool that makes the user want to level up. Right now i have no idea how i gain points for leveling up on MyIGN. As much as a leveling up whore i am in FPS games and RPG's, it's sad that i have no motivation to level up on IGN, considering the amount of time i spend on this site. All i see is the bar slowing moving up for reasons unknown.
What could change this factor is using a system that any leveling up game uses! unlockables and perks, or XP.
IGN could allow the user to unlock video game icons for their level icon. or better yet. To Get the user really involved in leveling up, IGN could dish-out free stuff, like emailed IGN postcards, a uniquely customized IGN wallpaper of your choice. And if the user gets to a high enough level like 50 or so, you guys could actually send them real world gifts, like a poster, or a staff signed postcard, etc... Stuff like this would attract users to the leveling system. It's the only thing i could think of that would keep the leveling system to its true elements.
Another idea, is the ability to gain XP though viewing IGN articles, videos, and news posts. During live streams you guys could do something like double XP, where the user gets XP for showing up, and for every i don't know, 5 or 10mins the user stays, they will get additional XP. You can call it, Surviver Double XP Stream!
Now with all that said, i think those are some pretty good insights that i came up with on the spot. I'm sure if i have more time to think about it, i can come up with better stuff, but in any case to improve the IGN community, changes must be made to accomodate the user, and to ensure that their experience in the IGN community is one that will last for a while.
If i come up with other ideas, i try to update this post when i can. Keep posted on this post for changes and updates! Also keep posted on my page as well for other insights!

Ordinary shares in Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund were priced at $1 each, with one option allotted with every share. On their ASX debut at 11am Monday, shares jumped 2 per cent and were 1.5 per cent higher when the market closed at $1.02.
The $60.4 million equity raising fell well short of the $100 million Blue Sky had hoped for, but got away after clearing the minimum $50 million hurdle.
Listed alternative fund manager Blue Sky Investments has launched the LIC to target investors wanting direct exposure to an alternatives asset manager to diversify their portfolio away from the staples on stocks and bonds.
Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund director
Mr McNab is confident demand from self-managed superannuation fund investors for access to alternative assets will continue to grow.
Rainmaker data from December 2013 indicates alternatives are the fastest growing asset class in Australia, increasing from 5 per cent of all investments in 1997 to more than 13 per cent at the end of 2013.
"This trend is continuing with almost 20 per cent of all investments forecast to be allocated to alternatives by 2033," Mr McNab said.
No single investor took a big enough parcel of shares in the float to register as a significant shareholder.
A Blue Sky spokesperson confirmed that 50 per cent of the participants in the offer were direct retail SMSF investors, with 25 per cent of the subscription taken by financial planners on behalf of clients, 15 per cent going to family offices, and the remaining 10 per cent remaining in the hands of Blue Sky and its managers.
A minimum commitment of $2000 was required from investors to participate in the IPO. Joint lead managers on the deal were Ord Minnett and Morgans. Shaw Corporate Finance acted as co-lead manager.
"While most Australian LICs invest in listed equities and fixed interest, the Alternatives Access Fund will hold a diversified portfolio of alternative assets managed by Blue Sky across the company's four divisions of real assets, private equity and venture capital, private real estate and hedge funds," Mr Wilson said.
Even a modest rise on debut from the Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund means it has outperformed other LICs that have floated in recent months.

Can surgery be considered in a case where cancer has been diagnosed in the colon but near the rectum? Would it be possible to cut out the bad and reattach to the upper bowel?
Resection of rectal tumors and anastomosis (reattachment) of the bowels is possible in certain cases of rectal cancer, depending on the location of the tumor. The rectum refers to the portion of the bowel that is located within the pelvis, and this space is more confined than the abdomen. Other nearby organs in the pelvis – the lower spine, bladder, prostate for men, uterus and ovaries for women – make surgery more complicated.
If the tumor is very low and close to the anus, it may not be possible to do a reattachment. In cases like this, the surgeon may have to remove the anus in addition to the cancerous portion of the rectum, installing a permanent colostomy to divert waste to a bag outside the body.

Workers have uncovered many 18th-century relics from the Revolutionary War at Fort Laurens in the last few weeks, including a knife blade, buttons, balls and "stellar" handmade nails.
"They're awesome," explained Jarrod Burks, Ph.D., owner of Ohio Valley Archaeology of Columbus.
OVA has been excavating the north wall leading east to the northeast bastion, where the Fort Laurens grounds ends at the trench of the former Ohio and Erie Canal, the canal running north and south at that spot between the fort and Interstate 77. And it's that canal trench that defeats attempts at making a firm pronouncement on the exact site and dimensions of the fort.
Burks said the northeast bastion starts to the east, in the canal bed. "The implication is the canal workers removed the two east bastions," he said. It may also be a bit off the site marked by the 1970s dig, which uncovered the outer ditch.
"They thought they caught the corner. I think that's not the case," Burks said. "The implications of this little blip are kind of big," he continued.
The north-south walls may be longer than the east-west, meaning the fort was not square, as has been thought, but the canal basin prevents the truth from ever being discovered.
The excavation is part of a century-old plan to rebuild the fort. The Ohio General Assembly in 1915 passed legislation to buy the Fort Laurens grounds with the purpose of rebuilding the fort. That reconstruction never came to pass, and the museum, built before a location survey of the fort was made, sits partially on the northwestern corner of the fort.
The Friends of Fort Laurens Foundation (FFLF), founded in 1994, has been working to make that rebuild a reality, and the original plan was to reconstruct the fort on the grounds away from the museum. But Martin Zawacky of FFLF said a survey asking whether to rebuild the fort on a separate site or on the original site showed respondents preferred the original.
That reconstruction has been nearing reality the last few years, largely through the fundraising efforts of FFLF, and an Alliance Boy Scout helped to further progress with his Eagle Scout project. Tim Phillips, an Alliance High School student and member of Troop 4 of Canton, led the group that cleared the ground to be excavated.
"Off and on we had 20 people; six stayed the whole time," said Assistant Scoutmaster Jim Pack, who has been mentoring Tim. Pack said they worked long days June 18-21, starting at 7:30 a.m. "By 5 p.m. we were pretty well running out of steam; other people would come after work and work until 9, and we'd be working with them," he said.
Tim's instructions specified his group clear 70 feet north and 30 feet south of the northeast wall and 25 feet east. He was to pull nothing larger than a certain diameter so he wouldn't disturb the ground.
"He cleared a lot more than that, probably 125 feet by 80," Pack said. That included clearing the brush-choked canal bed. The workers also cleaned the graves and picked up fallen branches. As a result, the OVA crew came in ready to dig and earlier this week was making good progress on the site.
On Tuesday Jeff Dilyard was digging out the stockade post trench, where darker dirt indicated the placement of the wooden posts. Some posts were shorter and pointed at the base and some were larger. Other dark spots inside the line of posts may have been posts for scaffolding along the inside wall.
Fort Laurens is located at 11067 Fort Laurens Road, Bolivar, and the phone number is 330-874-2059. The website is fortlaurens.org, and the FFLF site is www.friendsoffortlaurens.org.

But missed kicks and a series of first half penalties from the boot of Leeds fly half Thomas after Worcester have infringed proved costly.
"We scored the only try of the game and had chances to win it, but we missed a number of kicks at goal and had a chance at the end," said Ruddock.
"I probably could have done with my skipper to help us and get us through that final period. We put ourselves in a good position to win the game with ten minutes to go, but we didn't nail that down and that has been the story of our season.
"Let's take nothing away from Leeds, it was an excellent victory for them and they have beaten a number of good sides. They battled hard.
"But we have conceded fewer tries than Leeds and scored more tries than them, we scored the only try of the game here. We just haven't closed off those close games.
"The effort was there, the spirit was there to comeback the way we did, but we lacked accuracy at times."
Replacement Matthew Jones saw a late drop goal charged down and a long range penalty from inside his own half pull up short of the crossbar.
Ruddock, though, praised the fly half for putting himself in the situation to try and win the game for Warriors.
"What you want is your kicker to put his hand up and say he wants it. That is what you want to see and that is the call he made," he said.
"If it goes over he is the hero, if it doesn't then it's a bad decision. But he had the confidence to do it.
"Ultimately we couldn't watch the last few minutes go down without attempting to win the game.
"We have tried a number of different combinations this season in the team to try and get that winning formula," added Ruddock.
"You look back at this season and in a lot of ways we have been there or thereabouts on more occasions than we have been for a number of years.
"Sixty per cent of the games we have not won we have been within seven points of the opposition, this game was another example of that.
"You go back to Saracens away at Wembley, you see the form they are in and we outscore them two tries to one and give away a lot of penalties.
"That has been our season, the effort and commitment has been there, the ability to go toe-to-toe with big teams, but we have not been able to nail down wins. It's hugely disappointing for the club and everyone involved."

My husband seems to blow up over the least little thing. He just seems to be mad a lot of the time, and not happy like he used to be. I think he is suffering from some depression and anxiety. The Doctor just started him on Prozac. Will this help him? And how long will it be before we can tell if it's working or not?READ MORE
How long does it take for Prozac to work on anxiety?
Nickie - It is very important to try to identify when the change in his demeanor occurred and what was happening around that time. While you may be right that he is experiencing depression and/or anxiety, knowing the causes can be important in determining the proper treatment. If he has not been seen by a mental health professional you may want to encourage him to do so in order to determine if medication is necessary.
Prozac might turn out to be quite helpful but as Suffolk pointed out it could be 3 weeks or more before the full effects might be apparent. Fortunately, some folks experience some benefits earlier than three weeks and you might notice an improvement in his temper within the first 10 - 14 days.

Pitt looking to string together wins in season's final month
Imagine the excitement Saturday night on the North Shore if Pitt can upset Notre Dame.
Many of the 60,000 fans at Heinz Field might celebrate all night, carrying the party into the morning.
Who knows what a victory against the Irish, ranked No. 23 in the BCS standings, would mean to the 60 or so college prospects who plan to attend the game as Pitt's guests?
Coach Paul Chryst and his staff would shake hands with each other, exhale a sigh of relief and immediately immerse themselves in the rest of the season.
But one victory — no matter the opponent — would be a shallow triumph for the Panthers (4-4) if it is followed by flat effort next Saturday against North Carolina.
Pitt has reduced significantly its margin for error after losing its past two games, and that's not merely because the team needs two victories in its final four games to become bowl eligible.
The Panthers (6-7 last year) must win three of their final four to show improvement in Chryst's second season — something more important than a bowl appearance.
Signature victory? Defensive coordinator Matt House scoffs at the notion.
"Every week is an opportunity to get a signature win," he said. "If you are truly trying to build a championship program and trying to preach consistency to the kids, then you can't have the ups and downs and saying this game is bigger than the next game. Every game's got to be a signature win."
Pitt has good news for the stretch run.
All five first-string offensive linemen will be together for the first time in a month, with senior left guard Cory King and left tackle Adam Bisnowaty returning from back injuries. With freshman running back James Conner recovered from a shoulder injury, the time has come for Pitt to restart its ground game.
The Panthers ran well against the Irish last season, but running back Ray Graham is gone after totaling 172 yards in that game. Conner and Isaac Bennett have hit triple digits four times this season but only once in the past five games, and that was Bennett's 240 yards against undermanned Old Dominion.
Chryst said he hopes to get the running game in motion.
"From what we've done recently, we haven't been real good running the football," he said.
"Hopefully we can get that squared away. We are a better team if we can do a better job of running the football."

One-on-One with the Latest Recruit Eliminated from the Red Team — Worst Cooks in Americaby Joseph Erdos in Shows, March 17th, 2014
On Worst Cooks in America, 14 recruits have the tremendous opportunity to be mentored by Food Network chefs Anne Burrell and Bobby Flay. They've come to Boot Camp with some of the worst skills imaginable, but if they're able to survive seven weeks of competition without getting eliminated, they might just be named the best of the worst and win $25,000. And their mentor gets bragging rights. This year, Anne is fighting to get back her title after losing to Bobby in Season 4. Every week, one recruit from each team is sent home. This week saw the competition reduced from three to two recruits per team.
FN Dish has the exclusive interviews with the eliminated recruits from the Red Team and the Blue Team.

Exit Interview with the Eliminated Blue Team Recruit
Episode 5 Highlights (Photos)
Crustacean Calamities (Video)
This week the recruits got another surprise: an early morning Skill Drill that began with a visit from Anne and Bobby, who tasked them with making breakfast. Carie turned out a really successful dish of eggs Benedict that Anne praised — all it lacked was a little seasoning. But when it came to the Main Dish challenge of cooking surf and turf, Anne saw that Carie struggled a lot when cooking and cleaning the lobster. Carie promised Anne a very flavorful dish, and she did deliver one, but it was too over-the-top for Anne. Ultimately Carie was sent home.
Anne praised you for how well you did in your eggs Benedict challenge. And you looked more in control and seemed to have a great time during the cooking. What was different this time than other challenges?
I had confidence this time, and the fact that I actually saw myself doing what I was supposed to be doing made me feel like I was learning something amazing.
You did really well in your surf and turf challenge, except that the sugar got burned on the steak. When it came to taking apart the lobster, you had an emotional moment. Can you talk about that?
I felt like when I was cutting the lobster, all these memories as a child came back. I can remember my grandma sitting there picking crab. It just got to me. This entire process was either going to make me or break me. I was cooking from my heart. It just got emotional for me. I was super proud of my dish when I finished.
Out of curiosity, why did your family ban you from using olive oil?
My family bans me from using olive oil because it's so expensive and the fact that they actually make it and have it sent over from Greece, they don't want me messing up or wasting it because they can't afford to keep buying more when I screw up.
You started out on Bobby's team but were switched to Anne's team. Which team did you feel more comfortable on? Do you think you excelled more on the Red Team?
I feel like I was more comfortable on the Blue Team only because Chef Bobby kind of lets you go at your own pace and wasn't so nitpicky on your skills. But then when I got sent over to Chef Anne's I felt like she really was behind me, pushing me. I didn't have a choice — it was either sink or swim, and I decided to start swimming.
What was the hardest challenge for you during the competition?
The hardest thing that I've done in this show thus far is cooking the lobster. I didn't want to kill the lobster, cut the lobster. Everything about that lobster was horrendous and I even have battle marks to prove it.
What are some of the best lessons you've learned during your time on the show?
There are two things I'm taking away from this. First, I came into this show snapping both ends off a green bean and cooking the crap out of them. Now I know better. Second, I've met such amazing people, who are so diverse. They've not only taught me about life but made me realize who I am. I feel like I've grown as a person in these past few weeks.
Did you ever think you would make it this far?
I never thought I'd make it this far. I wanted to go far, but I was really nervous about it.
What's next for you? Will you be cooking a lot more?
I most definitely think I'm going to cook more when I get back home. In fact, I think I want to switch up careers and go to culinary school. I love the whole art behind cooking, and I feel like being here proved that to me — that it's really coming from the heart. It fascinates me. Maybe in school I won't have that pressure of trying to win a game. It will be more relaxed and it will sink in a little bit easier. This was hardcore and super scary.

When the Country Went Cold Turkey
Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition
By Daniel Okrent
Scribner, 480 pp., $35.00
Daniel Okrent has splendid timing. At a moment when the role of government regulation is a subject of public fury, Okrent—the first Public Editor of The New York Times as well as an inventor of Rotisserie League Baseball—serves up Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition. It's the most persuasive, witty, and best-documented explanation yet as to why Americans decided to endure a ban on alcohol, the federal government's most intrusive regulation of all time.
Okrent can't claim to have discovered Prohibition; Michael Lerner's recent Dry Manhattan is another good entry in a well-tilled field. What elevates Last Call is, among other things, a clear explanation of the unique confluence of events that caused it. The introduction of the income tax made Prohibition fiscally feasible. Women's suffrage made it politically feasible. World War I created a surfeit of patriotism, a willingness to sacrifice, and an embrace of the expansion of federal power. By 1920 everything was in place for a bold new government intrusion into everyday life.
It's a common view that Prohibition "didn't work," and we've all seen cinematic tales of speakeasies and mob killings that lend credence to the idea that lawlessness ruled. Context is always the first casualty of history, but Last Call does a lot to help situate the impulses of the era, and yes, make them seem a little less crazy. At the same time as temperance was flowering, so were crusades for clean water and sanitation, which saved millions of lives. Alcohol, seen as a major scourge of civil society, looked ripe for a once-and-for-all ban that would put mankind on a new course. "Figuring per capita," Okrent writes, "multiply the amount Americans drink today by three and you'll have an idea what much of the nineteenth century was like."
Prohibition did work largely as intended. Alcohol consumption quickly fell to 30% of its previous level; by the time of repeal it was still no more than 70% of its pre-Prohibition level. Most notably, alcohol consumption remained low for decades; the U.S. didn't return to pre-Prohibition levels of per capita consumption until 1973. Alcohol-related diseases fell. It remains the case that high alcohol taxes reduce the incidence of cirrhosis, as reported in the 2007 book Paying the Tab, by Philip J. Cook of Duke University.
We still have prohibition for 87 million Americans under the age of 21, and these restrictions work to some degree. Plenty of studies have demonstrated that lowering the drinking age raises the number of alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents, not to mention assaults and other crimes. For all of the fake IDs and 22-year-old beer-distributing friends, the penalties do matter.
They mattered during Prohibition too, but policy is a lot less interesting than creative entrepreneurship. Naturally, the most entertaining chapter of Last Call concerns the cottage industries that sprang up around the ban. Dentists and physicians were licensed to grant prescription-based exceptions for "medicinal uses" of alcohol, and a typical doctor had the right to issue 100 prescriptions a month, usually for one pint every 10 days. The prescription itself went for about $3 (plus the costs of purchase), or roughly $32 in 2010 dollars. You can take that price as a rough measure of how the ban made liquor harder to get.
Okrent excels at anecdotes and discussions of hitherto neglected points. I was especially taken by his dive into how words for drinking proliferated ("scofflaw" comes from this era), the wine taster who was facing unemployment and started swallowing his samples, the transformation of Canada into a nexus of smuggling, the widespread theft of grapes, and how ships were supposed to put stoppers in their bottles as they approached the 12-mile coastline limit. Okrent paints a particularly memorable portrait of Irving Fisher, a dry reformer and one of the first celebrity economists, who was also an early influence on Milton Friedman. Fisher considered alcohol as evil as war or unstable money and argued that even moderate consumption harmed economic output. No prominent economist today even toys with Fisher's stance. Now the dominant academic talk is about decriminalizing drugs.
The lesson to be found amid the scofflaws and scoundrels and anecdotes is that, even if they were ultimately on the wrong side of history, temperance forces were far more sensible than we have come to believe. Today so many drugs and addictive substances are illegal or require medical supervision, yet alcohol is consumed relatively freely. Why the difference? Commentators are passionately for or against drug legalization, but after reading and pondering Last Call I came away with a new understanding. Every society has some legal and socially acceptable intoxicants. Cocaine prohibition continues where alcohol prohibition ended, in part because cocaine users are easily caricatured and demonized as either spoiled yuppies or violent gang members. It's also easier to get a little bit drunk than a little bit high on crack. So alcohol, despite its well-documented destructiveness, survives as the focal, available, and acceptable intoxicant.
If you want to legalize or decriminalize other drugs, you need to think through more than the liberty-based arguments for individual choice and the economic arguments against black markets. You also need to consider whether drug dealers and users will ever achieve enough social respectability to support a change in regime. Okrent's book doesn't deal much in theory, but it does show how enduring consumption norms are. In doing so he serves up what is likely to be one of this year's best books on American history.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/3/2014 (1253 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm terrified of rodents and my wife thinks this is funny. Last weekend our cat left two dead mice on the rug at the bedroom door and I almost stepped on them in my bare feet. I freaked. I jumped back into bed and pulled the blankets over my head.
My wife said to me with a voice of contempt: "Well, you big baby, I am carrying these mice over to the bed and I'm going to throw them on you." I jumped out of the bed in horror and screamed. She was laughing at me, holding the mice up by their tails and wiggling them at me. I begged her to take them and get out of the house. She finally did, but won't let me forget it.
I happen to know she's deathly afraid of spiders. I would never throw one on her head, but now, God help me, I feel like it. I love her, but I am deeply angry over what she did. I need to do something to get rid of this feeling of humiliation and anger toward her because I haven't been able to have sex with her since the incident. -- Cold Side of the Bed, Island Lakes
Dear Cold Side: Sit her down and say, "I'd like to talk to you about the mice and the spiders because now we have two problems: you know my worst fear and mocked me for it, and I know your worst fear -- and spider season is coming up. I don't like feeling this way -- like getting even -- but I do, and I probably will find a way to do it unless we talk this out. What do you suggest we do?"
Then wait while she digests that piece of information and don't crack a smile. Just wait. If she can't think of anything but to call you stupid and immature, you say: "That may be, but you still might want to get back to me before spider season starts, darling." Your sex drive should come back soon.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I think the advice you gave to the woman who says she's a "blimp" to go to Overeaters Anonymous really stunk. You can't lose weight and not gain it back. All you do is yo-yo and end up fatter. People should just eat healthy foods like I do and they would never get fat. I was only fat when I had my babies and then it went away. Why? Because I am sensible about my eating. And pep-talking herself in the mirror to fix her self-image is a bunch of silliness. I would never do that. -- No Problem, Teulon
Dear Sensible: And you have no weaknesses and are the point against which we should all measure ourselves? You may be sensible, but you're so full of yourself it's a good thing an engorged attitude doesn't have calories.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I love the advice you gave this overweight lady. I'm trying to lose weight right now myself, and that's who she has to do it for, herself! I've been getting up every morning and getting on my treadmill for over four weeks steady now with a couple of misses when I was sick. I'm going to start incorporating more things as I progress. If we can develop bad habits, we can develop good ones, right? I wish her luck! -- On the Right Track, Winnipeg
Dear Right Track: It's a multitrack problem and the more things you can do at once, the better luck you will have in beating being overweight for good. Some people are born slim, others are light eaters and others have metabolism that allows them to eat tons of food and not gain a pound. Some have skinny ancestors and others have heavy ones. It's not a level playing field. "No Problem" in Teulon probably lucked into good DNA. Good on you for trying so hard -- a changed attitude can take you a long way.

Start searching for information about a vegan diet, and you'll quickly uncover two (alleged) benefits of an animal food-free diet—at least according to the so-called dietary experts:
- Fat consumption. A vegan diet makes it easier to stay within the 25% to 35% of daily calories from fat that dieticians recommend. Supposedly, you'll be eating healthier unsaturated fats from avocados, nuts and vegetable oils, so you've got that going for you—if you believe fat is evil.
- Weight loss. According to conventional nutritionists who've reviewed vegan diets, you are "likely" to lose weight, because you'll be eating fewer calories, while consuming more fruits, veggies and whole grains. Thanks to that daily caloric deficit, "You're bound to shed the pounds," as U.S. News & World Report's Health website phrased it.
We'll deal with the fat intake assertion in a moment, but let's first discuss losing weight on a vegan diet.
The assertion that weight loss is inevitable on a diet that delivers a daily caloric deficit—eating fewer calories than your body needs to maintain its basal metabolism and normal activity levels—is correct. It's called starvation, and from famines in Africa to horror stories of concentration camps, there's no shortage of imagery to visualize the end point of a "caloric deficit diet."
That's because when the body is deprived of the energy sources (and protein intake) it needs to function properly, body tissues are catabolized to make up the deficit. Yes, that involves using up stored subcutaneous fat, but it also includes the breakdown of muscle tissue, which is why famine victims appear to be wasting away.
Because they are.
Do they lose weight? Heck, yeah.
Is it healthy? Absolutely not.
Weight management is important for a variety of clinical (and aesthetic) reasons, but the way to do it doesn't involve depriving yourself of needed calories—even a relatively small deficit—over time. In fact, that's the exact and specific cause of "yo-yo-dieting," a syndrome way too many overweight people have endured: You starve yourself for weeks, maybe months, until you lose a lot of weight (keep in mind, the loss is both fat and muscle tissue).
Then, after finally reaching a more desirable weight, you resume "normal" eating patterns and calorie intake. What happens?
Since you've lost significant muscle mass, your metabolism is slower and you're burning fewer calories at rest. So the resumption of your previous diet means you regain the lost weight—with a vengeance. Now, the next time you try to lose weight with restrictive dieting, it's much more challenging, and the yo-yo process repeats itself with even worse results.
So in case you're considering shedding some pounds by consuming fewer calories than you actually need, a word of advice: Don't!
The fat fallacy
Now, about the idea that fat reduction—specifically saturated fat—is a wonderful side effect of a vegan diet.
It's not.
There has been plenty of discussion in this space about the need for fat and cholesterol, especially for growing children. Nutritionally, it's essential for nervous system development, proper cell metabolism and a host of other biological functions we can't manage without. A super-low fat diet just isn't healthy. And doesn't it make sense intuitively that so many foods even vegans adore—nuts, seeds, avocados and coconuts—are high in fat?
Of course, eggs, fish, milk and plenty of other non-meat foods are also surprisingly high in fat—because we need it!
That's why the whole fat-free movement is so ill-advised, and why fat-free vegan recipes are about as far off the reservation, nutritionally speaking, as it's possible to go.
For instance: Scan most vegan recipes for baked goods and you'll see that coconut milk is frequently specified as a substitute for cow's milk. Why? Because it's super high in saturated fat—about 87% of its total calories, to be exact. But you need that fat for flavor, mouthfeel and eating enjoyment.
If you're vegan, however, you can wolf down your gluten-free donuts and pretend that coconut milk is oh-so superior to the real thing.
Finally, here's a little calculation for the nutritionists, dieticians and vegans out there in love with the low-fat/fat-free diet concept. Suppose Person A eats 1,000 calories of carbohydrates (grains, fruits or veggies). At 4 calories per gram, they've consumed 250 grams of food, right?
Now, suppose Person B eats 1,000 calories from fat. At 9 calories per gram, that's only 111 grams of food, so already Person A has taken in 139 grams more weight (since we're talking weight loss here).
And biologically, water combines with ingested carbs at about a 4:1 ratio, which means that Person A ends up gaining over a kilogram of weight, versus Person B, who gained 111 grams. If you're serious about weight loss, that's a terrible comparison.
Which is why a low-fat/no-fat diet—ie, wholesale substitution of starch and veggies for fat—is absurd: Not only because it flies in the face of Nature, but because it doesn't deliver weight loss.
For all its flawed thinking about preventing so-called animal abuse, a vegan diet is equally flawed in its assumptions about its effects on human health.
I don't know which is worse, but you can take your pick: Either one by itself is a reason for rejection.

Michael Keaton Joins RoboCop
Replacing Hugh Laurie
There was palpable disappointment (and, yes, relief from some Laurie fans), when it emerged that Hugh Laurie's negotiations for a role in the RoboCop reboot had broken down. Now director Jose Padilha has locked in Michael Keaton to play the role instead.
While the details are still largely being kept quiet, the role was listed as the head of Omni Corp when Laurie was being touted, which probably means Keaton will be up to no good.
The new RoboCop finds Joel Kinnaman in the metal suit as murdered cop Alex Murphy, reborn in cyborg form. He'll be overseen by Gary Oldman's scientist and trained by Jackie Earle Haley's military man. Plus he'll come into contact with wife-turned-technical widow Ellen (Abbie Cornish), media mogul Pat Novak (Samuel L Jackson) and partner Lewis (Michael Kenneth Williams).
Also in the cast are Jay Baruchel and Marianne Jean-Baptiste. Padilha is set to start shooting shortly in Toronto and issued an enthusiastic statement about the final chunk of casting: "Michael is the final addition to the amazing cast we have assembled for this film and it is so great to have the last puzzle piece in place," Padilha said in a statement. "It is thrilling that everything has come together to bring this innovative new vision of RoboCop to life. We've got a great script, a great cast, some killer ED-209s and I can't wait to get Alex Murphy back on the streets." Which is a little bit different from what he's apparently been telling friends. Let's hope things improve once production kicks off…

It's a cinematic moment that has tortured fans since tears first fell for the ill-fated lovers of the 1997 movie Titanic.
And now actress Kate Winslet has added to the controversy suggesting there could have been a happy ever after for Rose and Jack had the rules of film tragedy not demanded the death of one lover.
Having survived flooded cabins, and the best efforts of a jealous fiance to drown Jack, the couple plunge into the icy Atlantic Ocean from the teetering deck of the ship deemed by its makers to be unsinkable just before it cracks in two.
Leonardo DiCaprio's character Jack gives up his place on a piece of floating debris for Rose. He dies so that she might live.
Why didn't Jack just climb on the makeshift raft with Rose? Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday Winslet agreed.
"I think he could have actually fitted on that bit of door."
Fanatical fans have long argued the couple could have survived the wreck, even re-enacting the scene and replicating the size of the door to which Rose clung to demonstrate the door was big enough to hold two and spare them both from hypothermia.
The popular television science show Mythbusters devoted an episode to the subject. With a few tweaks to the raft by strapping life vests to the undercarriage of the door, the team concluded that it was plausible that both could have survived and Jack's death was needless.
"Actually it's not a question of room," director James Cameron once explained, "it's a question of buoyancy".
Cameron told the internet news and gaming site IGN in 2012: "When Jack puts Rose on the raft, he tries to get on the raft - he's not an idiot, he doesn't want to die - and the raft sinks; it kind of flips.'
"And so it's clear that there's really only enough buoyancy available for one person. So he makes the decision to let her be that person."
Cameron added: "If he got on with her they'd both be half in and half out of the water, and they would have both died."
The script called for Jack to die. End of story.

Faced with a four-day weekend we're stuck with what to do with ourselves, we have so much time on our hands. But let's not moan, it is a four-day weekend, after all. And who do we have to thank for this? Queen Lizzie. So, why not follow our drinks guide below from Simon Field, Master of Wine and buyer for Berry Bros & Rudd, make a toast to HRH, then get back to your charred sausages.
For the toast…
2009 Grosvenor Blancs, Ridgeview Estate
This fantastic sparkling wine from West Sussex makes an elegant celebration tipple. Quintessentially British and made using Chardonnay grapes only, it's fresh as well as round and lively as well as profound. Notes of honey, acacia and orchard fruit will suit the current warm weather and is best enjoyed with friends. The 2009 Grosvenor is probably the best English sparkling wine of all. £26.95
Fit for a king…
The King's Ginger
Commissioned by HRH King Edward VII in 1903 to ward off the effects of ill health, this Regal tipple has been enjoyed at celebrations for over one hundred years. Ginger was chosen as the key ingredient due to its much-hyped medicinal value. The resulting liqueur is rich and zesty and although perfectly paired to any number of cocktails, it stands up extremely well on its own, taken in a sherry glass. £20
For the sunshine…
2010 Chapel Down, Flint Dry, Kent
Another suited perfectly to the warmer weather, this nicely rounded wine hails from the Kent countryside. Given it's provenance, it's pleasingly sweet. Freshly mown grass and paving stones after the rain appear on the nose, with depth and fruitiness following. This wine will work well with light dishes and party-style food. £9.95
For a special celebration…
Graham's 1952 Tawny Port, Limited Edition
This wine is a real treasure and one of outstanding quality, having aged 60 years in oak casks. It's profound and majestic, astonishingly intense and powerful. Classic notes of molasses, dried apricots, fig and clove warm the palate, with orange zest freshness and finely-wrought tannins underwriting the wine. This is a special bottle and one to thoroughly enjoyed. £275
The royal refresher…
No. 3 London Dry Gin
Distilled in traditional copper pot stills, No. 3 is a celebration of the integrity and character of traditional London Dry Gin. Juniper, pine and lavender are all present with a citrus freshness coming from Spanish orange and grapefruit peel. Angelica root adds body and a hint of coriander seed and cardamom can be tasted. Some say it makes the best Gin & Tonic around. £33.95
For the beer lover…
Meantime London Porter
This beer puts the great into Great Britain. Made by Meantime at the brewery on the banks of the Thames in Greenwich, the London Porter tastes of Dickensian London. It's smoky and full of coal and spice thanks to the seven different malts used during brewing. An initial nuttiness gives way to a bittersweet malty chocolate finish. The slow acting yeast means this bottle will only get better with age. £27.99 (6x750ml)

So far one of the biggest deficiencies of Iron Chariots is the lack of consistency in both organizational layout across similar pages, and an unstructured approach to the information on those individual pages, that may not be accessible to people who are not as well read in formal logic, not as well read on scientific/historic facts, or perhaps don't speak English as a primary language.
This page is intended as a possible template to streamline the information and standardize the layout and format of pages on Iron Chariots related to logical arguments for the existence of god. A Very brief description of the argument goes here.
History of argument
If applicable this section of the page would give a more in depth description of the argument. What is the argument? Where did it originate? When is the first documented case of the argument being used? Who have been its major proponents throughout the ages? Is this argument still being used today, or is it one of those arguments that has made AiG's list of arguments theists shouldn't use?
Version 1
The first version of the argument may be in the form of a quote from a famous apologist or proponent of the particular argument.
Title of source material:
- "This is obviously where the body of the quote would go. It would more or less be a copy paste from the source material. — Murphy c.2009"
Version 2
This version of the argument may be in the form of an in depth or expanded syllogism which more or less covers all the basic premises, logical steps and conclusions.
- p1. First premise
- p2. Second premise
- a. Second premise expanded point one
- b. Second premise expanded point two
- p3. Third premise
- a. Third premise expanded point one
- b. Third premise expanded point two
- p4. Forth premise
- p5. Fifth premise
- a. Fifth premise expanded one
- b. Fifth premise expanded two
- c. Fifth premise expanded three
- c1. First conclusion
- c2. Second conclusion
- a. Additional notes about second conclusion
- b. More additional notes about second conclusion
Version 3
This version of the argument bay be in the form of a simplified plain English syllogism of version 2. There are often many versions of an argument, differing in both the number of steps and complexity of those steps, but most of them can be broken down to 2–3 premises and a conclusion which adequately covers the core argument.
- p1. First premise
- p2. Second premise
- p3. Third premise
- c1. Conclusion
Counter arguments
False premise 1
This counter argument p2.b(version 2) may be an unproven assertion. For example, a statement about God's character that has no evidence to back it up, or any way of cross-checking. The details of why it is an unproven assertion should be laid out in depth in this section. It is probably also worth mentioning that it would be best for clarity and organization sake to have the counter arguments running in the same step-by-step order as the actual syllogism.
False premise 2
This counter argument p3.(version 3/simplified version) may be a premise that is just completely wrong and in complete conflict with our current understanding of science. Such as a Ray Comfort statement that males and females had to somehow asexually evolve perfectly side by side before they developed the ability to sexually reproduce. The details of why this premise is incorrect should be laid out in depth in this section. Facts, figures, reasons, references, etc.
Logical error 1
This logical flaw may be a case of fallacy of reification. For example, p4 may state that the apple in my hand is conceptual because the apple in my head is conceptual. Although it is in one of the premises, it is more a problem of logical validity rather than soundness.
Logical error 2
This flaw may be a case of special pleading. Perhaps the conclusion is in conflict with one of the premises. Such as the conclusion of the first cause argument that God has no first cause, despite the first premise being that everything has a cause.
Other counter arguments
- Some arguments for God have a single fairly blatant error and are fairly simple to dismiss.
- Others such as the TAG argument are rather complicated and fractally flawed.
- More complicated arguments may have many errors, not all of which justify having their own section.
- Those additional counter claims should be placed in this section
See also
- This may be arguments that are related.
- For instance, if this were the cosmological argument, Kalam would be directly related.
- If this were the cosmological argument, first cause would also be peripherally related.
External links
- Theist website that supports the argument
- Atheist website that also debunks argument
- Perhaps a relevant YouTube debate
- Further reading on the argument, maybe even if its Wikipedia
- Does the argument/counter argument source any scientific theories, papers, books, websites?
- Does the argument/counter argument source any historical facts, evidence, papers, books, websites?
- Are there any peripherally related topics to the argument that need explaining even if its just a link to Wikipedia?

Water Conservation
IBM's evaluation of water use at its worldwide facilities shows that microelectronics operations are the company's most water-intensive ones. For example, in 2010, IBM's microelectronics manufacturing operations represented 82 percent (nearly 9,800 thousand cubic meters [TCMs]) of the total water used (approximately 11,900 TCMs) at IBM's manufacturing operations and laboratories worldwide.
Though IBM's microelectronics operations are not located in areas of water scarcity, in 2000, IBM established an annual water savings goal of 2 percent of total annual water usage in its microelectronics manufacturing operations, based on the water usage of the previous year and measured as an average over a rolling five-year period. The goal measures annual water conservation activities from actual year-over-year reductions from conservation savings projects, reuse (e.g., from the ultra-pure water process for semiconductor manufacturing) and recycling (e.g., from treated wastewater).
In 2010, annual water conservation for the microelectronics manufacturing operations from reduction, reuse and recycling activities was 710 TCMs of water. Of the 710 TCMs of water, 590 TCMs (6 percent of the total water used at IBM's microelectronics manufacturing operations) was provided through on-site water reuse, and wastewater and groundwater recycling projects. Conservation savings projects avoided the use of another 120 TCMs.
Water Conservation in Microelectronics Manufacturing Operations
To achieve an annual water savings equal to 2 percent of total annual water usage in its microelectronics manufacturing operations, based on the water usage of the previous year and measured as an average over a rolling five-year period.
As of year-end 2010, IBM's microelectronics manufacturing operations had achieved an average annual water savings of 2.8 percent over the past five years versus the 2 percent goal.
These new water conservation and ongoing reuse and recycling initiatives in IBM's microelectronics manufacturing operations achieved an annual 1.8 percent savings in water use in 2010. The avoided withdrawals were achieved through ongoing efficiency enhancements that reduced water usage in designated operations. Over the past five years, new water conservation and recycling initiatives at IBM's microelectronics manufacturing operations have achieved an average 2.8 percent savings versus the 2 percent goal.
Despite this conservation activity, total annual water withdrawals for these operations increased by 3 percent or 325 TCMs from 2009, primarily due to expanded production at the facilities. The total accumulated conservation activities over the past five-year period avoided withdrawals of 8,885 TCMs of water resource.

In the short time that Apple's iPhone has been available on China Mobile, the launch has already been tangibly good for business at the world's largest mobile operator.
On Thursday, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brian White told investors that China Mobile added 14.24 million 3G subscribers in January alone, with Apple's iPhone being directly attributed to the 3G subscriber boom.
"As 2014 unfolds, we believe Apple's momentum with China Mobile will accelerate as the carrier rolls out its 4G TD-LTE network," White observed in his research note. "Additionally, we expect Apple to unveil larger iPhones in 2014 (i.e., 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch versions), and we believe these devices will resonate well in China."
Apple launched the iPhone 5s and 5c on China Mobile's network on January 17th. By month's end, China Mobile had more than 771 million wireless subscribers, or 62% of all of China's wireless subscribers.China is increasingly becoming a bigger market for Apple, and given the size of the population, may eventually surpass the U.S. That's why Apple CEO Timothy D. Cook and his team have harped on how important China is to Apple.
