Private investment in U.S. wind power totaled $25 billion last year alone, spurring a record year of growth.
As a result, the wind industry employs over 80,000 Americans with 555 wind component manufacturing facilities across 44 states.
These jobs are well-paid and won't be outsourced, as the size and complexity of wind turbines has resulted in nearly 70 percent of the content of each turbine being domestically produced.
According to Lazard, as well as the Energy Information Agency, wind power is now one of the least expensive forms of energy. Also, by adding long-term fixed-rate wind purchase contracts, utilities are protecting their consumers from price swings in the fossil fuels markets.
These facts demonstrate what many Americans already know: our tax policies are working as intended by spurring economic growth, creating jobs, and lowering costs.
Homegrown American wind energy is making our electricity grid more secure and ensuring a cleaner energy future.

Solar Maximum Arrives
Of course it is the Solar Maximum. For those who don't know what that is, a quick primer. The Sun goes through solar cycles, approximately 11 years each, during which the Sun goes from high activity to low and back again. High activity includes sunspots and CME, ie solar flares. Where this solar cycle has been positively sleepy, NASA was hoping for more action so they could blame the Earth changes on the Sun, something the Zetas predicted long ago.
ZetaTalk Prediction 6/1/2002: Solar Flares, an extended or anomalous solar cycle, has been planned for decades to be used as a distraction and excuse during this time. Solar flares are not anything man on the face of earth can recognize, thus can be made up freely as disinfo. Trust NASA, as they have the Hubble and probes and satellites, and will tell you what has occurred. Of course, they lie. What does all this mean? It means that any reason for the current weather, satellite failure, magnetic diffusion, or heating core along with volcanic and quake increases, are to be blamed on the Sun. Thus, you have confusion about the role of the Sun lately, such that it is surmised to be about to cause a pole shift, magnetic in nature, that will cause most of humanity to die off.
In 2009 NASA painted the picture of the Sun about to explode in 2012, as noted in Issue 127 of this newsletter on April 5, 2009.
2012 May Bring the "Perfect Storm" - Solar Flares, Systems Collapse(这是啥意思?没头绪。。。。)
April 2, 2009
Long scorned as "mysticism" and "parascience," concern about the year 2012 has now surfaced in a mainstream NASA report on the potential impacts on human society of solar flares anticipated to peak in 2012.
After predicting a solar Apocalypse in 2009, what occurred? A very sleepy solar minimum continued, with record low sunspot activity, as detailed in Issue 152 of this newsletter on September 27, 2009.
Earth Approaching Sunspot Records
September 21, 2009
The sun is at a low point of a deep solar minimum in which there are little to no sunspots on its surface. In July through August, 51 consecutive days passed without a spot, one day short of tying the record of 52 days from the early 1900s. As of Sept. 15, the current solar minimum ranks third all-time in the amount of spotless days with 717 since 2004.
Desperate to explain the moaning and roaring Earth, the exponential increase in earthquakes, the sunrise and sunset out of place for much of the world, NASA has once again reached back into their grab bag of tricks to bring forth the Sun. Their statement - "strongest radiation storm in 7 years". Well of course this is the case, as 7 years ago the sun was in the midst of a solar minimum. But compare the current solar activity registering on the SOHO images of the Sun to a CME from 2000, during the last solar maximum.
Huge Solar Eruption Sparks Strongest Radiation Storm in 7 Years
January 23, 2012
A powerful solar eruption is expected to blast a stream of charged particles toward Earth tomorrow (Jan. 24), as the strongest radiation storm since 2005 rages on the sun. Sunday's solar flare was rated an M9-class eruption, which placed it just on the verge of being an X-class flare, the most powerful type of solar storm. M-class sun storms are powerful but mid-range, while C-class flares are weaker.
ZetaTalk Comment 1/28/2012: Poor NASA, reaching into their bag of tricks and finding so few left, and what is there, broken. They had planned for a decade to blame the Sun for all the Earth changes - electromagnetic disturbances, earthquakes from a heated and roiling core, signs in the sky from some type of never-before-seen aurora, and even weather disturbances from atmospheric heating. After all, the solar maximum was approaching, and they had control of the images from the SOHO and Stereo satellites. What could go wrong? What went wrong was that the Sun refused to cooperate!
The entire solar cycle has been so sleepy as to be almost in a coma. Sunspot activity was almost nill, even though electromagnetic disturbances were taking down planes such as Air France 447 and blowing up hydroelectric dams with run-away generators. But they are failing so miserably in their war against public awareness of the Planet X complex that they are milking their old schemes. Thus we have the ridiculous headlines about this anemic sunspot and CME being the "largest in 7 years". Of course it is the largest! That was the solar minimum, and this is supposed to be the solar maximum. What next?
SOPA and PIPA
The Internet has been under assault lately, as this is the greatest threat to the cover-up over the presence of Planet X. On whatever excuse, give corporations bringing frivolous lawsuits the right to kill a domain or cut off contact to a threatening website. Of course, this was packaged as protecting the work product of corporations and artists. But by a corporation putting on the cloak of a Plaintiff, by the casual conclusion of someone in the Department of Justice, access to sites such as ZetaTalk or the Pole Shift ning could be killed, just like that. That was the threat. The bill in the House was the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and in the Senate, Protect IP Act (PIPA).
最近互联网受到了攻击,因为互联网的存在是对X星的掩盖活动的最大的威胁。无论什么借口,给予了拿着琐碎的诉讼的公司 关闭某个域名或是断开某个有威胁的网站的连接 的权力。当然,这被包装为保护公司或是艺人的工作成果。但是通过某个披上原告的羊皮的公司,通过司法部分某人随便的结论,某些网站比如说齐塔人之声和poleshiftning就会无法访问,就像这样。这是个威胁。众议院的法案是禁止网络盗版法案(SOPA),参议院的法案为保护知识产权法案(PIPA)。
Wikipedia to go Dark, Google to Join Protest Against Anti-Piracy Bill
January 17, 2012
White House has raised concerns about anti-piracy bill. The U.S. House of Representatives will resume work next month on a controversial bill aimed at stopping online piracy of movies, music and other content. The debate escalated when White House officials raised concerns that the legislation could make businesses on the Internet vulnerable to litigation and harm legal activity and free speech.
A Political Coming of Age for the Tech Industry
January 17, 2012
Under the proposed legislation Web sites big and small could be responsible for monitoring all material on their pages for potential violations - an expensive and complex challenge. Current law requires Web sites with copyright-infringing content to take it down if copyright holders ask them to, leaving the rest of the site intact. Google, which owns YouTube and other sites, received five million requests to remove content or links last year, and it says it acts in less than six hours if it determines that the request is legitimate. Legislators have already agreed to delay or drop one ire-inducing component of the bills, Domain Name System blocking, which would prevent access to sites that were found to have illegal content.
Was the protest successful? Legislators in both the House and Senate backed away from this hot potato, dropping it with a thud. Per the Zetas, the protest was primarily led by companies that would bear extra expense policing the web, but the effect is the same. SOPA and PIPA are dead. Corporations are now chasing copyright violators around the globe, with arrest warrants, what they should have done in the first place!
Five Key Senators Abandon Online Ppiracy Bills Amid Web Protests
January 18, 2012
Congressional support for controversial online piracy legislation eroded dramatically in the face of an unprecedented online protest supported by tech titans such as Google, Wikipedia and Facebook.
ZetaTalk Comment 1/21/2012: We have predicted that despite many in the elite wishing to block or control the Internet, that such efforts will fail. The primary reason for such failed attempts is the broad use of the Internet in commerce and industry, and by government agencies including the Defence Department. Then there is the nature of the Internet itself, which is by design able to pass around any blockage, finding many routes. If cables are cut, data packets are sent via many other routes, and where they may arrive a few seconds late, they do arrive as expected. The least reason for failure of any martial law control of the Internet is public outcry, but this appears, at least on the surface, to be the reason for the failure of the SOPA legislation.
What stands behind the coordinated protest by such giants as Google is profit, as the draconian measures required by the movie and music industry in Hollywood would require extra effort by search engine companies. But the public outcry against loss of access to information provided by such giants as Wiki and Google, and loss of social networking provided by sites such as Facebook was a shock to legislators. The web is now viewed as a sacred entity. Any threat by Hollywood to withhold campaign support is overshadowed by the threat of a public backlash at the polls. All to the good!
在那些巨头比如说谷哥等等的联手抗逸背后是利润的问题,因为 电影和音乐工业所需要的严厉的措施 将要求搜索引擎公司额外的努力。但是公众抗逸对 由喂鸡和古戈等巨人提供的咨询 的获取的减少,还有 由非死不可等站点提供的社交网络的减少 对立法者来说是个不小的打击。网络现在被当做是神圣的存在。任何好莱坞所扣留的战役支持的威胁在公众对民调的反冲的威胁之前都会黯然失色。幸好是这样!
But we should keep a watchful eye for threats to the Internet, as one amendment to Senate Bill 1867(第272期新闻简报) shows.
Senate Passes Controversial Defense Bill
December 2, 2011
One amendment seemed to pass without issue: Senator McCain's amendment to provide for greater cyber-security collaboration between the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. In other words, not only is all of the United States a battlefield, but so is the Internet.
S American Roll Ongoing
Still not at its peak, but progressing, as one can see from a snapshot on January 26, 2012. Quakes registered not only along the Andes, but out in the Pacific, as shown on the IRIS chart for the day. A buoy just off Chile pulsed for days, as shown on the buoy map. And the MODIS satellite images show Panama clearly being severed from Colombia. Enjoy all this proof of plate movement while you have it folks, as the establishment, the cover-up, is liable to blind you by removing access to such proof in the future.
News reports from the stretch zones are likely to still be available, but in future, perhaps increasingly restricted to be only local news. What is important, from the establishment point of view, is that you remain dumb about what is coming. They don't want your messy panic! They know, they are preparing, but you are to remain dumb. That's their priority. Meanwhile, the eastern coast of S America, in the stretch zone as S America pulls to the west, has imploding buildings.
Three Dead, 16 Missing in Rio High-Rises Collapse
January 26, 2012
Three buildings collapsed: a 20-story building, a 10-story building and a smaller building of three or four floors.
Blinding the Public
The National Data Buoy Center has posted that effective February 14, 2012, classic map pages will be removed, essentially reducing a plethora of ways that buoy data can be accessed. Per the Zetas, they are trying to reduce access to a single access point, the better to manipulate data in a coordinated fashion.
ZetaTalk Comment 1/28/2012: Why blind the public? Of course it is because they hope to make it difficult to track the plate movements, identifying where and when they occur. Reducing multiple programs that provide data to the public makes it easier to manipulate the data. The cover-up wants all data sources to be in step, flawlessly. This is all too-little-too-late, of course, as the plate movements are no longer debatable, no longer needing statistics or sensitive instruments presenting graphs as proof. The plate movements are arriving in the homes of the snoozing public as moaning Earth, a Sun rising or setting in the wrong position, earthquakes that rattle their homes but are denied by the USGS. The public in general does not go to these US sites, such as buoy maps or live seismographs. They don't even know they exist. What they do is access the Internet, which the establishment would love to shut down, but as the SOPA disasters shows, cannot.
齐塔人之声2012.1.28评论:为什么要弄瞎群众的眼睛?当然这是因为他们希望使人们很难追踪板块运动,识别什么时候在哪里发生了什么。减少那些向公众提供数据的复杂软件会使得操纵数据很容易。掩盖活动想要让所有数据都完美地步调一致。这在执行(sunlint:上面好像说海洋浮标数据都不再公开了)的同时实时地震仪全都变成了空白,来与新的软件相协调,这不仅仅是巧合。在过去就出现过实时地震仪被关小,变得不敏感,否则他们将在几天以内都一直全是黑的。当然,这一切都太迟了,也没什么用, 因为板块运动不再令人怀疑,不再需要统计数字或是敏感的仪器画出的图表作为证据。板块运动化作地球的呻吟,化作日出日落位置不对,化作撼动他们家园却不被USGS承认的地震,已经走进了那些熟睡的公众的家中。公众一般不会去这些美国网站,例如浮标地图或是实时地震仪。他们甚至不知道这些网站的存在。他们所做的是进入互联网,权势集团很想关掉但是正如SOPA灾难证明无法关掉的互联网。
As noted on this Pole Shift ning blog, the live seismographs were also again "adjusted" by a software upgrade. The USGS has of course been caught numerous times downgrading the magnitude of their quakes, dropping quakes from their databases, and reducing the sensitivity of the live seismographs. Case in point is this downgrading on July 29, 2003, where they were caught in the act. They likewise look for coordinated control over how the public receives earthquake data, as multiple data sources can reveal a lie.
The heliplots you asked about should all be in place and looking 'normal'.
We have recently transitioned these to a different platform and still
have a couple of bugs to work out. Thanks for your interest.

Beyond reducing the public's access to data, so a coordinated lie can be issued, is control over the media so the public does not connect with Earth changes. If coastlines in Europe are being assaulted by back-to-back hurricane force winds, the media will call this anything but a hurricane.
Are the media networks purposely neglecting and/or deliberately minimizing the "extreme wind storms" in the UK and other parts of the globe? These events are technically not considered hurricanes due to the lack of hurricane atmospheric shape and the lack of rotating dynamics generated by Coriolis effects. Yet these "wobble-generated" windstorm events are reportedly exhibiting Category 1 and Category 2 Hurricane wind speeds in the range of 73-112 mph.
ZetaTalk Comment 1/28/2012: This practice has only recently been instituted by the cover-up, as prior to this such storms were occasional and blunting the impact of this news was done by referring to such storms in the past. Now that the incidence of North Atlantic storms assaulting Europe could best be described as "back-to-back hurricanes", the term "hurricane" is removed from the verbiage allowed.
Albino Increase
A timely post on the Pole Shift ning reminded me that we had not covered the increase in albinism since July 15, 2007, on Issue 32 of this newsletter, when a pink dolphin appeared. The Zetas predicted that increasing albinism would occur due to the roiling core, which responds to the approach of Planet X.
ZetaTalk Explanation 6/15/1996: Albinos occur naturally in all life forms, some with more rarity than others. What causes an albino to emerge is assumed to be a genetic quirk, where the normal production of color compounds is suppressed. This is the effect but not the cause, else why would life in dark caverns or the depths of the ocean be pale, without color? If color were a genetic quirk, then why the almost total absence of color in creatures living in darkness? Coloration is influenced by radiation, just as tanning takes place upon exposure to sunlight. What is little understood is that this phenomena has two switches, one increasing coloration under certain radiation frequencies, but another reducing coloration under a different set of radiation frequencies. The core of the Earth, emitting in greater bursts the radiation her caverns and deep water creatures are bathed in, is confusing her surface creatures. Thus, the White Buffalo, heeding the signals from the restless Earth, are heralding the approaching pole shift.
Now there seems to be a virtual explosion in albinism. A Kangaroo on September 18, 2009. A Hummingbird a year later on September 28, 2011. (这明明是两年以后。。。)A Humpback Whale on October 6, 2011. An albino Snail of all things on November 30, 2011. Another white Dolphin on December 2, 2011. An adorable albino Kiwi chick on December 28, 2011. And a Penguin on January 15, 2012. The pace has picked up!

Implementing primitive Bool#
This page gathers the notes about implementing primitive logical operations and thus resolving ticket #6135.
The problem
Consider following fragment of code:
case (x <# 0#) || (x >=# width) || (y <# 0#) || (y >=# height) of True -> E1 False -> E2
This kind of code is common in image processing (and array programming in general) where one needs to check whether the
(x,y) coordinates are within the image. Primitive comparison operators
<# and
>=# have type
Int# -> Int# -> Bool. Logical OR operator
(||) is defined as:
(||) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool True || _ = True False || x = x
in GHC.Classes (ghc-prim library) which is equivalent of:
(||) x y = case x of True -> True False -> y
During the compilation process (assuming the optimizations are turned on) the definition of
(||) gets inlined and then case-of-case transform is performed successively. This results in following Core (cleaned up for clarity):
case <# x 0 of _ { False -> case >=# x width of _ { False -> case <# y 0 of _ { False -> case >=# y height of _ { False -> E2 True -> E1 }; True -> E1 }; True -> E1 }; True -> E1 };
and in following assembler code:
.Lc1rf: testq %r14,%r14 jl .Lc1rk cmpq %rdi,%r14 jge .Lc1rp testq %rsi,%rsi jl .Lc1ru cmpq %r8,%rsi jge .Lc1rz movl $Main_g2_closure+1,%ebx jmp *0(%rbp) .Lc1rk: movl $Main_g1_closure+1,%ebx jmp *0(%rbp) .Lc1rp: movl $Main_g1_closure+1,%ebx jmp *0(%rbp) .Lc1ru: movl $Main_g1_closure+1,%ebx jmp *0(%rbp) .Lc1rz: movl $Main_g1_closure+1,%ebx jmp *0(%rbp)
There are five possible branches to take, although four of them have the same result. This is caused by code duplication introduced by case-of-case transform. According to Ben Lippmeier, who submitted the original bug report, mis-predicted branches are bad in object code because they stall the pipeline.
Possible solutions and their consequences
Unnecessary branches could be eliminated by introducing primitive logical operators AND, OR and NOT (they will be denoted as
&&# and
not# respectively). These operators would be strict and treat their logical parameters as unboxed integers (
1# for
True and
0# for
False). Result would be produced by using low-level bitwise operations. This means that if logical operators were chained together like in a given example only the final result would have to be inspected and thus only one branch would be necessary.
Note (Jan Stolarek): My first thought was that introducing primitve logical operators will require changing
Bool data type to a primitive unboxed version. This might not be the case. Please treat two solution apporaches as possibly wrong.
First approach
Bool as a boxed version of primitive
True would be equivalent of
B# True#,
False of
B# False#:
data Bool = B# True# | B# False# -- B# :: Bool# -> Bool
Not sure if this can be considered equivalent to what the Haskell Report says about Bool. We need to ensure that
Bool# is populated only by
True# and
False# and that these two are translated to
1# and
0# in the Core. It should be impossible to write such a function at Haskell level:
g :: Bool -> Int -> Int g (B# b) (I# i) = I# (b + i)
This approach might require one additional case expression to inspect the value of
Bool at the Core level. For example:
f :: Int -> Int -> Int f x y = if x > y then x else y
would compile to:
case x of _ { I# xP -> case y of _ { I# yP -> case ># xP yP of _ { B# bP -> case bP of _ { 1# -> e1; 0# -> e2 } } } }
This would complicate Core a bit but it should be possible to compile such Core to exactly the same result as with normal
Bool. This code assumes that
># has type
Int# -> Int# -> Bool, but to truly avoid branching in the Core we need
.># :: Int# -> Int# -> Bool# so that we get a primitive value that doesn't need to be inspected using case expression but can be directly used by primitive logical operators.
Second approach
Second approach assumes creating type
Bool# that is independent of type
Bool. Boxing and unboxing would have to be done explicitly via additional functions:
data Bool = True | False -- no changes here bBox :: Bool# -> Bool bBox 1# = True bBox 0# = False bUnbox :: Bool -> Bool# bUnbox True = 1# bUnbox False = 0#
Bool# could not be implemented as an ADT because it is unlifted and unboxed, while ADT value constructors need to be boxed and lifted (see comments in compiler/types/TyCon.lhs). There would need to be some magical way of ensuring that
Bool# is populated only by
#0 and
1# and that these values cannot be mixed with unboxed integers. Perhaps this could be done by preventing programmer from explicitly creating values of that type (can this be done?) and allow her only to use values returned from functions.
|# and &&# with type
Int# -> Int# -> Int# - it is questionable whether anyone would want such operations available to the programmer. I think it is desirable to have primitive logical operators of type
Bool# -> Bool# -> Bool#.
Places of interest in the source code
The file prelude/primops.txt.pp defines PrimOps and their type signatures. An example definition looks like this:
primop IntGtOp ">#" Compare Int# -> Int# -> Bool with fixity = infix 4
Existing definitions should remain unchanged or the code using them would break and that is a Very Bad Thing. This would require creating new PrimOps:
primop IntGtOpB ".>#" Compare Int# -> Int# -> Bool# with fixity = infix 4
The tricky part here is
Compare. This a value constructor of
PrimOpInfo data type defined in prelude/PrimOp.lhs:
data PrimOpInfo = Dyadic OccName -- string :: T -> T -> T Type | Monadic OccName -- string :: T -> T Type | Compare OccName -- string :: T -> T -> Bool Type | GenPrimOp OccName -- string :: \/a1..an . T1 -> .. -> Tk -> T [TyVar] [Type] Type
We would need new
PrimOpInfo value to denote PrimOps of type
T -> T -> Bool#. Appropriate functions like
primOpSig and
getPrimOpResultInfo would have to be adjusted accordingly.

This study will determine whether the protease inhibitor lopinavir/ ritonavir (Kaletra (Trademark)), which is used to treat HIV disease, lowers blood levels of the lipid-regulating drug gemfibrozil (Lopid (Trademark)) in HIV-negative healthy volunteers. Many patients with HIV infection who take protease inhibitors have abnormally high lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides). Gemfibrozil, commonly used to treat high triglycerides, often is not effective in HIV-infected patients taking protease inhibitors, possibly because of an interaction between the two medicines that causes a lowering of gemfibrozil's levels in the blood. Results from this study will give researchers information on whether lopinavir/ ritonavir affects the blood levels of gemfibrozil.
Healthy, normal volunteers between 18 and 65 years old who test negative for HIV may be eligible for this study.
On study day 1, subjects have a blood sample drawn from a catheter inserted into a vein in the arm to determine pre-dosing blood levels of gemfibrozil. They then take a gemfibrozil tablet and are given breakfast 30 minutes after taking the drug. Blood samples are obtained through the catheter at 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours after dosing to determine gemfibrozil levels at those intervals. At the end of 12 hours, the catheter is removed and the subject is discharged from the clinic. The next morning subjects return to the clinic for another blood sample, collected through a vein in the arm.
Subjects begin taking lopinavir/ ritonavir between 7 and 35 days after their first dose, depending on their schedule and the clinic schedule. On the fourteenth day of dosing subjects come to the clinic and are given a single dose of gemfibrozil, as on study day 1, and have breakfast 30 minutes later. Blood samples are collected to determine gemfibrozil levels just like on study days 1 and 2. An additional sample is collected for routine lab tests.

Bret Bielema doesn't believe Wisconsin has to win Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium in order to legitimize its impending trip to Indianapolis for the Big Ten title game.
True, under normal circumstances, the Badgers (7-3, 4-2) would have to beat Ohio State (10-0, 6-0)—then hope for the Buckeyes to lose again the following week—or else Urban Meyer, Braxton Miller and company would move on to Indy and, potentially, to the Rose Bowl.
The Buckeyes are ineligible for the postseason, as everyone knows by now, and UW—clearly not as strong as it was in the 2011 and 2010 Rose Bowl seasons—has a Dec. 1 date with Nebraska or Michigan already in the bag.
MORE: Big Ten Power Rankings
But a win on Saturday would go a long way toward stamping this Wisconsin team as legit; at least, that's how many fans around the country would see it. Not Bielema, who neither apologizes for his team's good fortune in 2012 (and why would he?) nor even acknowledges the good fortune himself.
This is a coach who believes the Badgers have earned everything that's coming their way—and, undoubtedly, that OSU earned the NCAA sanctions that came its way.
"All we can do is play with the schedule that's in front of us and live with the results," Bielema, responding to the "legit" question, said flatly.
About those results …
"I want to win this game in the worst way," Bielema said.
MORE: BCS bowl game projections
And that's the thing about Ohio State week from Wisconsin's perspective. This game isn't about legitimizing an appearance in the league title game. It's about realizing the late-season success Bielema and his players believe is rightly theirs.
Again, flatly: The Badgers—who haven't lost in November since 2009—believe they earn their way to major postseason opportunities by being stronger and better-conditioned than pretty much anyone they play, and that their advantages in this area become more acute down the home stretch of every physically demanding campaign.
What's the key to Wisconsin becoming the first team to take down the Buckeyes?
"Play our type of offense," Bielema said.
In other words, outfight OSU's defense in the run game and, in doing so, keep Braxton Miller and the Buckeyes' big-play, high-scoring offense off the field.
And why is Bielema confident his team can establish control like that?
"We set up a formula 365 days a year that dictates what we want to do."
So, it turns out the Badgers do want to make a statement after all on Saturday. That statement, in a nutshell: We're still the tough guys of this league, and don't anyone forget it.
Which—oh, yeah—brings us to Montee Ball. He is one away from tying the FBS career record for touchdowns scored. And, in case anyone hasn't noticed, he has fought through a very difficult season and is surging down the stretch, averaging 154.6 yards on the ground over his past five games, with 10 rushing touchdowns.
So what if UW is on its third quarterback of the season, fifth-year senior Curt Phillips—veteran of three ACL surgeries?
Ball had 198 yards and three scores in last weekend's 62-14 win at Indiana, which locked up the title-game berth for the Badgers. That kind of production was expected of a running back who has long been convinced he gets better as games, and seasons, wear on.
"(The record) is important for Montee," Bielema said, "because I think he takes pride in playing well when others are down."
It's the philosophy that guides the entire program, really. How physically dominant were the Badgers vs. the Hoosiers? They rushed for 564 yards in that game—a program record—and possessed the ball for 39:27.
Yep, that was just Indiana. Ohio State: different animal. That the Badgers' record isn't as good as the Buckeyes' is simple to see. But the records don't always tell the tale by the time mid-November rolls around.
Said Bielema: "We've told our guys, 'We don't need anything special in the month of November. You just do what you do.'"

In George Mueller's orphanage at Ashley Downs in England, circumstances appeared to be hopeless for the children. It was early morning; the children were hungry and waiting for their breakfasts. But the cabinets were empty. There wasn't any food and, furthermore, there was no money in the orphanage's account.
Yet, George Mueller was a man of extraordinary faith. And in the book, Seven Guides to Effective Prayer, it described how, in spite of his circumstances, Mueller prayed with the children, saying, "Dear Father, we thank Thee for what Thou art going to give us to eat."
Mueller gave himself earnestly to prayer and saw hope beyond his present challenge. He sincerely trusted God, as he boldly and confidently prayed. Moreover, with his eyes of faith, Mueller believed in what he did not yet see and fully expected God's guidance, His deliverance and His divine care.
A little while later, there was a knock at the door. Mueller opened it to find the neighborhood baker. "Mr. Mueller," the baker said, "I could not sleep last night. Somehow, I felt you didn't have any bread for breakfast, and the Lord wanted me to send you some. So I got up at 2:00 a.m. and baked some fresh bread and here it is."
The need was met. Mueller thanked the kind baker and acknowledged God for answering his petition.
Moments passed, and there was another knock at the door. Again, Mueller opened it and he was greeted by the local milkman whose milk wagon had just broken down in front of the orphanage. So the milkman offered all his milk to the orphans.
Immediately, Mueller bowed his head and uttered, "Thank you, God."
In his lifetime, George Mueller cared for over 10,000 orphans. Mueller did not directly ask anyone for a contribution. He never took out a loan or went into debt to fund his orphanage. Instead, Mueller supported his orphanages exclusively on prayer.
As the prayers and praises go up to God, the blessings come down from Him, for Scripture says:
�-- "The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles," Psalm 34:17.
-- "Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:24.
-- "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6.
Today, let us set aside nervous cares, unresolved issues and worries, and offer prayers and praises to God. Erase all thoughts of negativity and during your day, 'Thank God' for what He has done, 'Praise Him' for all He is doing now and 'Express gratitude' to Him for what He is yet accomplish in your future.
I remember the lyrics from an old song by Don Moen that I heard many years ago: "And now let the weak say, 'I am strong.' / Let the poor say, 'I am rich.' / Because of what the Lord has done for us. / Give thanks." For when you pray, praise, ponder upon the good, and speak optimistically, expecting positive results, it can bring such thoughts and words into manifestation.
God can transform us; if we are first willing do our part. A while back, I heard about a teacher who called upon Tommy, one of her kindergarten students and asked him to stand up and share with the class what he wanted to be when he grew up. Tommy stood in front of his desk and said with a grin, "When I grow up, I want to be a veterinarian. I'm going to work at the zoo and take care of the big, wild animals."
Shuffling in their seats, the children in the class were in awe. Then, one little girl raised her hand and declared, "That job could be dangerous...."
Tommy paused for a moment and added, "Naturally, my dad will be with me!"
Your Father in heaven is with you, too. Right now, He is lovingly and actively at work in your life. He is going before you and placing the right people across your path and opening up new doors of opportunity. So put your hope in Him and say, "I am depending on you God and in your own time and in your own way, you will work my situation together for good." And as you express your thanks and appreciation, God will pour out His blessings in even greater portions.
I'm grateful to know a very dear gentleman nearing his 90s. Although he is legally blind, needs a hearing aid and is fighting a serious illness, you would never know it, for he never complains. Regardless of his condition, he is faithful, optimistic and courageous. He lives life to the fullest.
Once, I asked him the secret of his perpetual joy, and he answered in his always cheerful tone, "I pray and thank the Lord each morning for what He has given to me."
And I thank God for allowing me to know this extraordinary, wise individual and for his steadfast example of God's love and faith, which has positively influenced my life and countless others.
Whatever your need may be today, prayer and praise is the answer. Trust God, even in the midst of trying situations and thank Him for the countless possibilities that wait. God is good, and He wants you to walk next to Him in His blessings day after day, after day.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving and God bless you.

A NEW birds of prey centre could open at Millets Farm near Abingdon.
The centre would hold three displays a day in the summer showing owls, hawks and vultures, as well as welcoming schools and working on conservation in the area.
The plan, due to go before Vale of White Horse District Council, would also be a dream come true and the result of 10 years of planning for the man in charge – James Channon.
Mr Channon currently offers private, one-on-one experiences with birds of prey at his business, Fallowfields Falconry in Southmoor.
But now he has a chance to educate thousands of visitors to Millets about the birds. He said: "There is a lack of conservation work in Oxfordshire in general, and being at Millets will increase public awareness and gives us more clout. For example, kestrels have declined by about 50 per cent in the last 10 years.
"But it is not just about conserving native species, it is about awareness. It is a case of being somewhere where this information is available. That is how people's perceptions of birds of prey can be improved."
A large proportion of the company's 65 birds would move to Millets, and they would also welcome an endangered African Rüppell's Griffon Vulture.
As well as offering displays in the summer and winter, there would be a classroom, and a viewing room.
Tony Carter, who runs Millets Farm with his brother Nigel, said: "We feel it is something that would be quite popular."

DETROIT - A Michigan judge has temporarily put the brakes on a potential consent agreement between the state and the city of Detroit.
What happened:
A ruling delivered Tuesday by Ingham County Circuit Court Judge William Collette in Mason says a state-appointed review team and Treasurer Andy Dillon shall not execute or sign a consent agreement or its equivalent with the Detroit until Collette makes further orders.
READ: Judge Collette's ruling 3/20/12
What's next:
Collette set a new hearing date of March 29. A meeting was previously scheduled for Thursday. Dillon plus other members of the review team -- the Hon. Conrad Mallett, Fred Headen, Dr. Glenda Price and Isaiah McKinnon -- must appear at the hearing to testify.
The new hearing date is after the March 26 deadline that Gov. Rick Snyder set for the financial review team to report to him. The review team could reach a consent agreement with Detroit or recommend an emergency manager financially-battered city that faces a nearly $200 million deficit.
Detroit Mayor Bing's statement:
"The City respects the judicial process and will simply follow the judge's order," said Bing.

Iced TeaScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
One hot afternoon two friends were out relaxing on the back porch.
"Would you like some iced tea?" one man asked his friend.
"Oh yes as long as it is good and cold."
The host then brought his friend a large glass of iced tea and dropped two small ice cubes in it.
His friend took a sip and remarked, "It's not very cold."
"Give it a minute," the host said.
The iced tea then appeared to start boiling. After a minute or so the ice melted, the boiling stopped, and the glass was ice cold.
The man took a sip and thanked his friend for the very cool drink.
So what made the iced tea cool in this unusual way ?
HintThink of the boiling and the ice cubes.
AnswerThe man put dry ice cubes in his friend's drink. This gave it the appearance of boiling as the ice melted. This also super-cooled the drink in a short time.
It's a great holiday party trick. Just don't swallow the ice - very dangerous.

So where will Eifert, the former Bishop Dwenger High School and Notre Dame tight end, land? Your guess might be as good as his. Perusing the various mock drafts, his name pops up all over the place, including that team from up the road, the Chicago Bears.
Here's a look at all the teams (and their draft positions) mentioned as possible landing spots:The Bucs have a lot of needs, particularly on the defensive side. But today's best NFL offenses usually include a play-making tight end with the speed and size. Eifert is 6-foot-6, 250 pounds and came out of the NFL Combine with the best combination of size and speed. Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman continues to develop, and he needs a weapon like Eifert. The question is whether Eifert would be taken this high in the draft, an unusually high spot for a tight end.This seems like an unusual spot given the Steelers have Heath Miller, but he underwent knee surgery so there's some doubt there. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers offense have long used the tight end as both a reliable short-yardage option and big-play threat. Eifert's work ethic and hard-nosed football style would certainly fit the Steelers mold. ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. has put Eifert to the Steelers in more than one of his mock drafts.This would be a bit of a surprise, given that the Bears signed Martellus Bennett, who played with the New York Giants last season. Reports out of early workouts say Bennett looks like the type of big-play tight end that could help quarterback Jay Cutler expand an offense that ranked 28th in total offense in 2012. Chicago has been outside the Top 20 in total offense in 12 of the last 13 years. So maybe new coach Marc Trestman wouldn't be adverse to another play-making tight end?Jermichael Finley has one year left on his contract and he hasn't exactly seemed like a Packer for life. He has also shown a tendency toward more drops than coaches like. So it could be possible that the Packers will look for his successor to become the reliable big receiver that Aaron Rodgers can utilize while he spreads the field with speedy wide receivers.The Texans have a solid All-Pro caliber tight end in Owen Daniels, but the depth is not tremendous. Much of the Texans' success can be attributed to the building of its defense, so it's possible Houston will look to add to quarterback Matt Schaub's options on offense.This is intriguing. Peyton Manning has always favored tight ends capable of blocking and pass protecting, but also able to stretch the field and run like a wide receiver. Eifert could be a taller version of Dallas Clark, who was merely one of the Manning's favorites during his Colts heyday.It's time to start looking for the next Tony Gonzalez. Eifert might be too tough to resist if he's still available at this point.The 49ers have Vernon Davis and a bunch of no-names. (Sorry Garrett Celek fans.) It seems unlikely that Eifert will be available by this point in the draft, but if he is, look for Jim Harbaugh to give Colin Kaepernick a target as big and mobile as the quarterback.
There's also a chance that the Colts, who own the No.24 pick, would be willing to trade down to a team looking to utilize that 24th pick on Eifert. If he's still on the board by the time the Colts pick, we might see some unexpected Eifert drama unfold.
Eifert may need to be patient, but his Thursday should be a rewarding one before it's over.

Larkspur city and school officials met with their counterparts from the Chinese city of Shangyu on Wednesday in an effort to create student and teachers exchanges and other partnerships.
Larkspur City Councilman Daniel Hillmer, an architect who has worked in China, arranged the visit as part of an effort to increase collaboration between the North Bay and Shangyu in areas such as education, science and technology, health care, culture and trade.
"It's really important for Larkspur and Marin to reach out and create these international opportunities, especially to show the kids in the county that it's a global situation we're in, and we should learn from our global partners and really try to become comfortable solving problems together," Hillmer said.
The visiting delegation included the vice mayor, municipal governor, the chief medical officer of a hospital and other officials from Shangyu, a city of about 1 million people about two hours south of Shanghai.
They met with administrators at Redwood High School, received a tour from students and administrators at Hall Middle School, visited the Twin Cities Police Authority and were scheduled to attend a meeting of the Larkspur City Council.
The council was set to vote on a resolution encouraging cooperation between the communities.
On Wednesday, the delegation will visit the Ross Valley Paramedic Authority, Marin General Hospital and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging.
On Tuesday afternoon, the group visited several classrooms at Hall Middle School, including an eighth-grade language arts class that was discussing the First Amendment. When a translator described the topic at hand, the delegation quickly filed out of the classroom.
The visitors lingered longer at a music classroom where municipal Gov. Cai Jieda, vice director of Shangyu's foreign affairs office, played a few notes on a xylophone.
Asked what surprised her most about the visit, Shangyu Vice Mayor Fang Jing said it was the attitude of the students, who appeared to be under less pressure than in China.
"The students here are very happy," she said through a translator. "That's the biggest difference with China."
After the tour, the delegation discussed possible student and teacher exchanges with Principal Tom Utic, Larkspur-Corte Madera schools Superintendent Valerie Pitts and several students. No plans were set, but both parties said they were serious about arranging a possible exchange program.
The Shangyu vice mayor, who oversees schools in her city, said there was much to be learned from Marin teachers and students.
"We can learn from you, too," Pitts said.

- How to Read a Study Record
According to recent estimates, the prevalence of Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) in Canada is three times more common in First Nations (FN)and Metis compared to non-FN populations. Moreover, once infected, the progression of CHC to cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma is greater in FN patients due to the increased prevalence of alcohol abuse, obesity and diabetes in this segment of the population.
Research Plan:
This research proposal consists of three parts. The objective of Part I is to document the response to anti-viral treatment for CHC among treatment-naïve FN and Metis and Caucasian (hereafter referred to as non-FN) patients residing in three urban Western Canadian centres (Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Regina). Demographic, clinical and response to treatment data in a total of 160 patients (80/group) will be collected at the above centres and transferred to the Section of Hepatology at the University of Manitoba for statistical analyses. In Part II, the applicants will document and compare the immune responses to HCV proteins throughout the course of therapy in FN, Metis and non-FN patients. In the final part, direct economic costs of CHC care in FN, Metis and non-FN patients will be ascertained and future costs predicted.
Part I - The rate of sustained virologic response (SVR) to treatment for CHC is higher in FN and Metis compared to non-FN and no Metis patients.
Part II - The immune response to HCV proteins during anti-viral therapy for CHC is enhanced in FN and Metis compared to non-FN and non-Metis patients.
Part III - The direct costs of health care utilization and delivery for CHC are similar among FN and Metis and non-FN and non- Metis patients.

While I was in Tokyo for TGS I had a chance to finally experience the craze known as Pocky. Previously I only knew of it through others, but it's the real deal. Very addictive. I mentioned to Myung Suk, from our Japanese publisher Spike, that I thought it was really good and maybe when she sent me some copies of the Japanese version of Oblivion PS3 maybe she could throw in some Pocky.
Throw she did, my friends, as my office is now resplendent with the stuff. I'm gonna have to start passing it out for fear of eating it all myself. I think I spotted Matt drooling at it earlier and I'll dump some on Ashley for sure, as I believe I recall him professing an affection for the confection.

Six best cold and flu fighting foods
Six best cold and flu fighting foods
When you can feel a tickle in the back of your throat or your nose is beginning to run, is it already too late to reduce the risk of catching a cold or the flu? Not at all! The best thing you can do is take action quickly and not wait until you get sick by eating foods that will boost your immune system and beat the bugs before they can really take hold.
Here are the five best immune boosting foods you can eat to fight a cold or the flu:
Chicken soup
Medical research has shown that chicken soup suppresses the inflammation which causes many cold symptoms. This miracle-in-a-soup-bowl also thins mucous secretions so congestion in the nose, chest and throat will be alleviated too. The addition of noodles and vegetables will increase the healing power of the soup as the carbohydrates will help your energy levels, while the veggies will increase the nutrient levels in the soup, which also boost a struggling immune system.
Try these recipes for a taste of the chicken soup magic:
The powerful antioxidant properties of garlic have been found to be antiviral so can potentially help prevent colds as well as shorten their duration. The oily compound allicin (that gives garlic its distinctive smell) works the cold-fighting magic. And you don't have to eat garlic in its natural form to see the benefits - garlic supplements such as powder, oil and extracts have the same healing powers. And you don't have to go crazy with it either - a clove or two a day is enough to keep the doctor away!
Need a hit of garlic? Try these recipes:
If you have memories of your grandmother spooning out honey when you had a sore throat, you'll be pleased to know that she really knew what she was doing! Studies now show that honey can reduce a cough by coating the throat and soothing the irritation. And in fact, honey is more effective than over-the-counter cough medicines. Buckwheat honey, in particular, is shown to have medicinal qualities. Don't forget though, that children under 12 months should not eat honey due to the risk of infant botulism.
Green tea
The Chinese have been swearing by its healing properties for hundreds of years, and now studies support their claims: green tea contains antioxidants that can boost an ailing immune system. Not only do green tea sippers experiences less colds and flu, but their immune systems also produce more cells that fight the bacteria and viruses that cause sickness. Don't forget though that green tea does contain caffeine, so if you are considering giving it to your kids, go easy with the "green tea medicine" - one cup a day is plenty and they will still feel the benefits.
Strawberries, oranges, tomatoes
While experts still can't agree on whether taking high doses of vitamin C will have any significant effects on cold and flu symptoms, some studies show that taking vitamin C may actually help prevent the onset of colds and flu. Studies do show, however, that there a health benefits to eating vitamin C rich fruits and vegetables - three or more cups each day (as the body can't store vitamin C, it is vital that you replenish your supplies every day) will act as a general immune-booster. The trick is to receive the vitamin C via whole foods rather than as a supplement so fill your diet with vitamin C rich foods such as strawberries, oranges, tomatoes and broccoli.
Boost your vitamin C levels with these recipes:
Lean meat
Good iron levels are essential for a strong immune system and the most efficient way to maintain good iron levels is by eating lean meat. Not only does it supply a source of iron that is easily absorbed by the body, it also contains good supplies of zinc, another infection-fighting mineral. So if you're feeling a little sniffly, eating a piece of lean red meat, poultry (chicken soup perhaps?), fish or shellfish will help you fight those bugs.
Build your iron levels with these recipes:

EDIT; We only picked up a half game on Chicago who didn't play tonight. We are still 4 games behind them in the loss column. We have two to play against them and we HAVE to win both.

I was sure he'd hit it, too.
I was too with how tenative Rush was guarding him so as to not foul him.
The Pacers in the last 4 games are 2-2, but the thing that stands out is they haven't given up a 100 points to the opposition in any of those 4 games!!!
If they had been doing that the whole season, the Pacers would be a 6th seed, at least, in the EC playoffs. They could have been a .500 or better team.
Knicks lost, we are now a game ahead of them in the lost column. Four teams yet to pass.
A lot of great defense tonight. Great win by the team.
However, the offense down the stretch was interesting. Both TJ AND Jack got into a little too much one on one with no passing. This time, TJ performed pretty well, though both of them missed some shots down with the stretch without ever passing once.
This was probably due to JOB calling for no motion offense, so I guess I can't blame those two guys much. (I disagree with shutting down the offense. We needed a couple of scores to seal the game. We got lucky at the end.)
Brandon Rush's defense looks better and better.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Are the boos for JO getting louder? I noticed (via TV) he got some boos each time he entered the game and when he made a shot. I saw him smiling about it.
I thought TJ took a bad shot out of rhythm and then lost his rhythm in those final 2-3 minutes. Before that, I didn't really have a problem with his shot selection and passing.
I still think some of the calling for his head is premature (that we've seen in some other threads).
I also think some of the feud dynamics between Ford and Jack were overblown. At least watching on TV it looked like they were already over it by the next game and I didn't see any signs of it lingering tonight. Then again, winning cures a lot of ills....
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
I think Jack and Ford are working on things to make the team, and their own play, better.
And I think Jack can be given credit for that phenomenon. That's just my take.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Post-game quotes from Wade remind of what I hear from Battier's opponents all the time. "I don't know what happened"..."I usually hit those shots"...etc. Brandon is doing something right.
Fantastic game to watch tonight, incredible D with all the stops and blocks. Foster had a great game, it's been a while since he last had so many rebounds (16), and four blocks too. Rush has been more aggressive lately, and I'm very excited about that. Yeah, I was surprised that Wade missed that last second shot, no complaints though, just glad we pulled this one out!!

Wade must have taken the last 9 shots for the Heat. At one point JO was wide-open and he opted to shoot the J instead....

I had to comment on the crowd-noise tonight. The place was loud at the end of the game. Maybe even louder than the Cavs game from a while ago.
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
The playoffs are still possible. If we can beat the bulls twice and go on a 12 game win streak we will make the playoffs. Or Detroit bails on their season and loses almost all of the games they have left.
Please make the playoffs....please.
Here is some footage from the game:

The ever eternal optimist. Then there is realism.
I agree. good game but the pacers are not going to the playoffs
Actually, Wade only took the last shot. The four previous attempts were by JO, James Jones (fouled on one), and Haslem.
Anybody know why they went away from the Haslem pick and roll that was eating us alive in the first half? Did we make an adjustment that caused it to fail a couple of times or did the Heat just assume we would adjust?
Brandon's defense was freaking amazing all night. He got caught in the air exactly once - the rest of the time he stayed with DWade through every fake. His movement through screens was usually very good - I think he only made the wrong decision twice.
As far as I'm concerned he has a pass to keep building his confidence on offense as long as he can continue to play D at this level. Wow.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
This was an awesome game. Quite possibly the best defensive game the Pacers have played all year.
Rush and Jack did a fantastic job guarding Wade. There was a reason he wasn't hitting his jumpers, and it's because he had a hand in his face on most of them. We need to give some credit to our bigs who did a splendid job rotating to force Wade to give it up on his drives to the hoop.
This was probably Foster's best game of the year.
Boxscores are a funny thing. After watching the game, I would have told you that Danny had a poor shooting night, but he was 10-20, so I'm apparently wrong. He and Brandon missed some pretty easy shots. If we'd have had a decent night from behind the arc, we'd have won by 10 points.
TJ played better. He's much more effective when he uses his step back jumper than when he tries to get to the rim every time. He had a great 4th quarter, but part of me thinks him trying to take over was the reason we couldn't score at all in the last few minutes. He took a few shots in a row and it totally killed the flow of the offense. This may be O'Brien's fault if he was calling the plays. I don't want to nitpick the guy to death, but if he'd been cold instead of hot in the 4th, we lose.

Itai Doron became an avid film-buff as a youth after a childhood filled with visits to the movies and with stories told to him by his mother about its stars, and has since made numerous works in a range of disciplines and media as varied as photographs, photo-collages, video and audio-visual installations that are influenced by cinematic narrative and are largely concerned with the dream-like world of fame, legends and celebrities, while exploring the realms between the absurd and the sublime.
In recent years he has used primarily the medium of photography as a tool for exploring the realities of carefully selected and disparate geographical locations. From walking through cities such as Prague, Tel Aviv and Turin to traveling through India and Japan, Doron used a variety of cameras, both 35mm and medium format photography, whatever was appropriate, usually never taking more than one picture of the same thing. His personal vision of these landscapes has resulted in an eloquent set of pictures that shifts between the real and the fictitious and is imbued with a sense of the elegiac and the profound as it fuses a documentary style with a poetic sensibility. And although people do not usually feature as subjects in these pictures, the images are permeated with the spirit of invisible people still present.
Doron's latest body of work is a study, through formal portraiture, of the realities and essence of young adults. 'Yassine' (2006) and 'Giorgios' (2007) are a series of photographs that focus on the hopes and dreams of young migratory workers, marked by quiet grace. The work explores movement and alienation, and is essentially autobiographical without the artist being present in it. The son of a Romanian immigrant, Doron is fascinated by the fact that these young men are, on one hand, the backbone of the British construction, hospitality and health industries, but on the other hand, an invisible part of the country's social and cultural landscape.
Doron was born in Tel Aviv, Israel in 1967. Following his graduation from Goldsmiths College of Art in 1993, he exhibited at the White Cube gallery in London, and concurrently showed a series of his large-scale installations at Canary Wharf. He has since participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in the United Kingdom, Europe, Japan, Israel and the United States. Itai Doron lives and works in London.

Jonny Wilkinson has announced that he will retire at the end of the season.
The fly-half, educated in Hampshire and most famous for winning the 2003 World Cup for England with a drop goal, made the announcement on the website of his club, Toulon.
The 34-year-old, who will turn 35 the day after Toulon's Heineken Cup final against Saracens on Saturday, has long been expected to call time on his glittering career.
"I would like to take this opportunity to formally announce my retirement from playing rugby," he said.
"It goes without saying that I have an enormous number of people to thank for their support from all around the world but especially here in France and in England.
"This however is not at all the time to be concentrating on this as I would like to focus all my attention and energy on the team and these final two games of the season.
"I sincerely thank you all for everything you have given me and for making these last 17 years something I will never forget."

The Dos and Don'ts of Dating from 'The Mindy Project': When You're Breaking Up
One thing that men should always know about women is the hierarchy of female friendships. And step one? Definitely understanding the idea of the Best Friend. It's not so easy as the phrase might suggest: "Best Friend isn't a person, Danny, it's a tier," explained Mindy. But that doesn't mean that men's best friendships are any easier to understand. Take Exhibit A: Dude With A Female Best Friend. For some, this is cause for trepidation (you never want to be the Bruno Kirby) — for others (cough cough your author cough cough), it's a sign of a man who knows how to respect women and treat them just like the normal human beings that they are! Equality!
Tonight's episode of The Mindy Project saw Mindy end things with f**kbuddy Brendan (Mark Duplass) after spotting him with his refugee maybe-girlfriend (maybe mail-order bride?), but start anew with female-best-friend-having Jaime, a Latin professor and total catch. His best friend, Lucy (Eva Amurri Martino) is super-cool, and super-into making sure her bestie scores the gal he likes. And while this at first freaks Mindy out (hilariously so, considering Lucy and Jaime's relationship is essentially Mindy and BJ's real-life one), she comes around in the end — complete with a grand, Indiana Jones-themed gesture. The same, unfortunately, could not be said for Danny, who was dumped over a cup of hot cocoa by Eyepatch Girl. Poor, poor Danny. She was the best thing that ever happened to him!
1.) Do keep it simple — If you're not convinced about dating, then just sleep with each other, whatever!
2.) Don't keep a knife in your bed — That's just dangerous.
3.) Don't let a leg cast get in the way of a hook-up — Roll up on it, dudes.
4.) Don't believe your married friends when they say their lives are boring — Sweatpants are awesome.
5.) Don't be intimidated by a man with a best girl friend — If it would've happened, it would've happened already. …Right?
6.) Do know what you're getting into — whether it be a guy, or some Mexican hot chocolate.
7.) Do the romantic gesture — Like in When Harry Met Sally…or that part with the bloody gun in Goodfellas.
8.) Do not touch the flightless birds — They're not pets.
9.) Don't freak out when you see your hook-up with another gal — She's a refugee. Like, on Charlie Rose and everything.
10.) Don't throw nachos at other people — Twizzlers? Perfectly acceptable.
11.) Don't fill dead space with jerks — Wait for a good one; they're worth it!
12.) Do the grand gesture — It always works.
What did you think of this week's episode of The Mindy Project? Are you a fan of new flame Jaime? Sound off in the comments!

Immune Response BioPharma, Inc. Today, Reports that REMUNE Injected patient has had great success with her recovery since being part of one of the large multi-center Phase III Studies from the year 2000. Nancy Graham a study participant has had two healthy HIV Free born children born in the years 2004 and 2005, one a beautiful girl named Kayla. She has also reported strong immune responses since receiving the vaccine and has been off of HAART drugs for years and says she has no detectable HIV in her blood.
This news comes at a time when many had given up on the whole killed method, this particular patient has proven to have a strong immune response to the vaccine and her story can be of benefit to those who are looking for an alternative to the HAART drugs. We are learning from patients who contact IRBP and would like to have access to REMUNE, that stories like Nancy's and others have who have had success with REMUNE can only give those HIV patients hope towards achieving similar results and those who have been skeptical of the whole killed vaccine approach may want to change their opinions of the long term effects REMUNE may have on rebuilding the immune system to fight off the disease.
"IRBP is very happy to report Nancy's story and hope it gives REMUNE a second look by the scientific and medical community, that the vaccine has merit and can benefit those infected with HIV. The vaccine appears to have long lasting benefits for those who have had the opportunity to be inoculated with the vaccine, this is good news for those who want a real alternative to the toxic drugs and their side effects. While Nancy has been through a tragic ordeal since being infected with the HIV disease, REMUNE has given her almost 13 additional years of life extension since being part of a study in 2000. She has also been through a difficult period of harassment she claims from the researchers and the government over her HIV free births of her two children and wishes not to disclose her current location out of further fear of retaliation. I find the allegations she disclosed to me to be disgusting and reprehensible actions if they are true, including her claims of the government and the researchers wanting to take her children from her to discredit her claims. Nancy should not fear for telling her story and the rule of law will bring those responsible to justice if what she claims is true" Mr. Buswell CEO IRBP.
IRBP plans to move to commercialization of REMUNE once we have partnered NeuroVax and RAVAX for MS and RA respectfully and try to help patients such as Nancy Graham worldwide get access to REMUNE vaccine.
