Black confirms Benoit's new role as closer
SAN DIEGO -- With Huston Street, the Padres' closer for the past two and a half years, headed to Orange County to pitch for the Angels, San Diego fans will have to get used to seeing Joaquin Benoit jog out of the bullpen for save opportunities.
As expected, manager Bud Black confirmed on Saturday that Benoit will slide into Street's vacated role.
"Trying to fill his shoes is really going to be hard for me," said Benoit on Friday night after giving up the game-winning run in the ninth inning of the Padres' 5-4 loss to the Mets. "Hopefully, I can do what he was doing."
The real intrigue lies in who will take over the setup role now that Benoit has been promoted. Black indicated that he'll decide who pitches the eighth inning based on each reliever's recent usage and performance, though Kevin Quackenbush and Dale Thayer seem to have the upper hand for now.
"I think you guys have noticed that Quack's innings have become a little bit more high-leverage for us. He's pitching in more high-leverage games and he's performing," Black said. "You look at Dale, Dale's been a good performer for us, too. He had a couple of hiccups, but overall, his body of work has been pretty solid for us."
Quackenbush pitched the eighth inning on Friday night with the score tied and recently solidified his spot in the 'pen after being frequently shuttled to Triple-A during the first couple of months of the season when a roster move was necessary. He has 28 strikeouts and eight walks in 27 1/3 innings with a 0.88 WHIP.
"Quack was a guy who early on was identified by our Minor League managers and staffers that you could trust to pitch late in the game," Black said. "He now seems to be settling in and doing nice work."
Thayer saved five consecutive games back in 2012 when Street was injured, and this season has a career-best 2.09 ERA with 37 strikeouts in 38 2/3 innings.
Another name to look out for is Nick Vincent, who was activated from the disabled list (shoulder soreness) on Saturday to take Street's spot on the 25-man roster. Vincent's ERA has climbed with each month this season. He posted a 1.46 ERA in March/April and a 4.50 ERA in May before being hit hard in four June appearances, a span in which his season ERA ballooned from 2.96 to 5.67, where it currently stands.
"Nick had a very nice run -- he had a few bad games that elevated his ERA, but we still think a lot of Nick," Black said. "The next week to 10 days, we'll get him back into the swing of things."
Black also said that righty Blaine Boyer and lefty Alex Torres, who have been most effective when facing same-handed batters, could get time late in games during matchup-based situations.

At SHO Shaun Hergatt, the Exotique ($12) brings together pineapple and black sesame. First, there's the braised pineapple serving as a cannelloni shell, with a cool, light filling of white chocolate and passionfruit cream. Chocolate cuts the tartness of the passionfruit, and the pineapple is unexpectedly soft and slippery, melting on the tongue. Alternate with spoonfuls of velvety coconut milk ice cream and a black sesame nougatine tuile, caramelized for plenty of crunch. To finish, a bold, nutty smear of black sesame paste. The tropics and Asian ingredients; what's not to love?

Tribe prospect Aguilar to see action at third
CLEVELAND -- The Indians already believe Jesus Aguilar is developing nicely into a right-handed power threat with Triple-A Columbus. Cleveland is now evaluating whether the first-base prospect can hold his own at the hot corner.
The Indians plan on having Aguilar play third base roughly once every 10 days to determine if he might have a future across the diamond. Aguilar played some third over the winter for Caracas in Venezuela out of necessity for the team and performed well enough for the Major League club to consider extending the experiment.
"We don't see a potential downside to it," said Indians vice president of player development Ross Atkins. "It's a potential add to his repertoire. So, if we can do it, that's what we're assessing. Now, he obviously can play the position, but it's another thing to play it here at the Major League level.
"He has good hands. He has plenty of arm. He has decent actions. It just will come down to agility and ability to make the play coming in, ranging hard to his right, plays that require a little more athleticism.
"And then, based on what we see, we may decide to increase it. We'll be cautious of what the demands are on his body."
Offensively, the 23-year-old Aguilar has enjoyed a hot start this season, building on his strong campaign last year.
Aguilar set a Double-A Akron record in 2013 with 105 RBIs, and hit .291 with 34 homers, 35 doubles and 155 RBIs in 188 games (725 at-bats) between Akron and Caracas last year. Through 17 games with Columbus this season, Aguilar hit .393 with five home runs, five doubles, eight walks, 11 runs, 13 RBIs and a 1.185 OPS.
Aguilar's April showing comes after he went 0-for-15 in 11 games for the Indians in Spring Training.
"Spring Training is interesting," Atkins said. "We didn't see anything significant in his swing or his approach to suggest that he should make any adjustments in Spring Training. He's been fantastic."

Christopher Lee as Dracula in Terence Fisher's Horror of Dracula (1958)
"Do I believe in the supernatural? Oh yes, certainly. I can't believe, I can't accept that you die and that's the end. Physically maybe it is a fact. But there's something about the mind that's more than that."
Terence Fisher is the director who brought the modern horror film to life, with his Hammer Films classics Curse of Frankenstein (1957) and Horror of Dracula (1958), which were simultaneously more faithful to their source material, and also, as the image above aptly demonstrates, far more brutal in their execution.
I am admire Fisher deeply, and consider him, in a way, the John Ford of England, working within the mythos of the British Gothic tradition, in the same way that Ford embraced the American Western. I wrote a book about Fisher a long time back, which remains the only full-length study of his work as a director, now unfortunately out of print: "The Charm of Evil: The Life and Films of Terence Fisher," which makes this case in detail.
Fisher took his work as a horror director absolutely seriously; his films depict a deeply Christian struggle between good and evil, in which good inevitably wins, but only after a prolonged and difficult struggle, which is articulated perhaps most fully in his late film The Devil's Bride (1968).
Here's more on Fisher, and if you have the time and inclination, you should seek out his major films and view them. He is, without any doubt, the person who brought the horror film back to life after Universal had abandoned the classic monsters in the late 1940s, in an entirely new form.

I am trying to learn regular expressions and have a question for the following codes
Why does this code allow everything return (preg_match_all ("/[a-z]\'\-\s*/", $testString));
Why does this allow nothing return (preg_match_all ("/^[a-z]\'\-\s*$/", $testString));
What test strings are you using?
The difference between the two is quite simple, the latter requires the beginning of the string to match a-z (lowercase) and end with at least 1 space.
Then what do I do to make the 1st code only allow whats listed?
Tell me what strings you want captured and what you do not want captured and I can answer that.
That is for first and last name, I want to allow for spaces, hyphens and apostrophes. Maybe you clarify my assumptions about regular expressions. Does it return 0 when a character is inserted that is not in the argument or does it just check to see if the listed characters are there?
There, fixed that for you
I think what you're looking for this
Please note that this does not allow for special characters like the é in my name. For names I mostly find it easiest to just strip_tags to prevent script injection and be done with it.

Kanawha County Board of Education members will not vote this week on a controversial dress-code policy for teachers.
The policy, which would have regulated when teachers can wear blue jeans and would've banned shorts, T-shirts and flip-flops, initially was listed as an item on Thursday's school board meeting agenda, but has been removed, according to an amended agenda sent out Tuesday.
School board member Becky Jordon, who proposed the policy, said she requested that the board drop the issue, for now.
"The support wasn't there," Jordon said. "I felt, at this time, it shouldn't go up for vote."
Jordon, who's running for re-election in next month's primary, originally pushed for the policy, saying teachers should have to abide by a dress code similar to that of students and that having a code in place would allow principals a standard to point to when teachers' dress is questionable.
The draft of the dress code also focused on lengths of beards and mustaches and required tattoos to be covered "at all times when possible," as well as banning excess or oversized piercings other than on the ears.
The state's teachers unions have being fighting against the issue for months, saying it's insulting and unconstitutional.
The West Virginia branch of the American Federation of Teachers had planned a rally outside the Board of Education office to protest the policy before Thursday's meeting but canceled it. AFT members had planned to protest the issue while wearing blue jeans.
"I am pleased that the KCS Board decided to pull this item from their agenda, simply because it is not needed," AFT-Kanawha president Fred Albert said through an AFT spokeswoman. "We clearly have greater issues to spend our time and resources on."
"Our message was clear —spend valuable education dollars on students and classrooms, not unnecessary policies and legal fees," AFT-WV's Facebook page said Tuesday evening. "Together, we made a difference."

Maple and Walnut Cheesecake
This recipe first appeared in Sainsbury's Magazine (Nov 1996) Serves 6-8
- method
- Ingredients
Begin making the base by crushing the biscuits in a food processor or with a rolling pin into a bowl then add the walnuts and combine with slightly less than 1 tablespoon of cold water.
Now press the mixture firmly into the tin, making sure you have an even layer, then bake it for 15 minutes.
While that's happening, make the filling.
Put the 2 oz (50 g) walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them for 8 minutes in the same oven. When the base is cooked remove it and reduce the oven temperature to gas mark 2, 300°F (150°C).
Next, pour the maple syrup into a saucepan and bring it to a fast simmer, letting it reduce to half its original volume. This should take about 8-10 minutes – be very careful not to let the syrup boil over.
When it has reduced, pour it into a glass measuring jug and allow it to cool.
Now place the curd cheese, fromage frais and eggs into a large bowl and whisk them together until absolutely smooth, then either grind the toasted walnuts to a coarse texture or chop them very small. Add these, together with the cooled maple syrup, to the curd cheese mixture and whisk everything together.
Now, pour it over the base and bake the cheesecake on the middle shelf of the oven for 30 minutes.
After that, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to finish cooking and cooling for several hours or overnight.
To make the sauce, reduce the second bottle of maple syrup as before, then take it off the heat and allow it to cool completely before whisking in the double cream.
Finally, roughly chop the remaining nuts and add them to the sauce just before serving.
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400°F (200°C).

The Tottenham striker recently refused to play for Togo, citing a lack of protection from the country's FA, but his club boss says he has not ruled out a reversal
The Spurs forward, who was present during a 2010 attack on the Togolese team bus which left three dead, recently announced that he will not play for his country until the FA do more to protect their players.
|Emmanuel Adebayor is 3/1 to score the first goal when Spurs face Coventry with William Hill
"I haven't confirmed it because it's a vulnerable situation and anything can happen," he told reporters.
"The player can still go, but we just need to be aware of it. It's always his choice because I'm not going to put myself in a position where I block a player from international duty.
"If he wants to go, we fully respect it. I'm not involved in any form and the club have nothing to do with the situation.
"With some luck, even if the player goes, maybe he's still involved in the QPR game."

Hi guys
I have a question about kamma, and let me first say I know it's a complicated subject, and I admit I know little about it.
I believe that kamma means action.
So, am I right in thinking, any action I make, has an equal reaction in response.
If I insult someone, I will be insulted back, is that right?
I realise that intention comes into it, and also how one reacts to his/her own action, but I don't think this is relevant to my question.
Anyway I will get on with my question...
It seems to me that the "action" is less important than the "effect" it has.
ie you could insult one person, and she could brush it off as nothing. You could insult another person in the same way, and he is so devastated that he becomes depressed over it.
That is, the one same action can cause different amounts of suffering.
So, isn't it the "effect" of one's action that is important, not the actual action itself?

Today's Star article about re-signing Marvin and the Edge reminds me of a situation with another local franchise....

Except, Irsay said "I can," not "I'm going to."
How long can Marvin be effective? When did Rice start tapering off? I know Marvin is 32 right now, while edge is 26.
Of course, Running backs start diminishing around 30, so maybe the age factor is even between the two.
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
IF they can both be signed without bankrupting the Colts financially and talent-wise, then I'm all for it. If not, then sign Marvin and let Edge go. End of story.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

Its a statistically proven fact that the average career for an NFL running back is less three seasons. Those guys take an absolute beating. I wouldn't be surprised that any of those guys retire "young".
Remember, the NFL has a hard cap. Lack of cap management has been a problem for the Coits before, and if I recall correctly Pollian left the Bills in salary cap hell.
The last thing you want, if you want to win a Superbowl, is for your QB or a handful of offensive stars to take too high of a percentage of your cap. Football has 22 starters, and if there isn't enough wealth to share with the guys on the OL and DL that are at least eqaully valuable (moreso in my opinion) and don't get much recognition, your team isn't going to win playoff games.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

With the recent release of Waldorf's Nave and today's release of Propellerheads Thor for iPad it's clear we are going to keep getting high quality synthesizers for iOS. Thor has a ton of features but my favorite is the Omnichord like Strum and Hit keyboard where you "Hold a chord and strum it with one finger. Or use the hit function to trigger the chord as a stab.". It's interesting to note that the Waldorf synth came to iPad first but will be a VST/AU shortly too.
"Thor for iPad puts the mighty Thor synthesizer at your fingertips. Reason's legendary flagship synth delivers a thunderous sound, god-like sound sculpting capabilities and an innovative, lighting-fast keyboard designed for iPad. Thor is a synthesis playground, a flexible sonic workhorse, but above all, an expressive musical instrument for the iPad." – propellerheads.se

Mouth Diseases
Bump on Inside Lower Lip!
I had been messing around with a friend two days ago and was elbowed in the mouth and my teeth obviously hit the inside of my lip because it stung for awhile but wasn`t bleeding or anything. It kind of swelled up by that night so I had a fat lip a little bit, and during dinner I bit that exact spot. Hurt of awhile but eventually the pain went away and I went to bed and woke up yesterday morning with a small red bump in that area. It looked like a pimple, full of blood. It scared me so I tried to bite it off, but it didn`t work. I just couldn`t leave it alone so thought if I popped it, it would go away. When I did pop it, blood came out but the bump was still there. About 3 hours later I checked on it again and was wrong about popping it! It got bigger and was white, like a huge white pimple and from me trying to bite it off, I guess I caused bruising around it because the white "pimple" is the size of the bottom of an pencil eraser and the bruising surrounds it completely. The bruising has even made it`s way to the outside of my lip! I have been hit in the lip and have bit my lip before and this has never happened! I`m not saying that`s what caused this to happen, but it`s the only thing I can think of that may have. It doesn`t irritate me that much. It just so big that it feels like it`s in my way and that I have big lower lip. Its smooth and does not hurt when I eat. Do I need to go to a doctor???
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. There are two harmless conditions that this could most likely be: a mucocele or a pyogenic granuloma. Neither one will typically get better on it's own, so it's probably a good idea to see an oral surgeon so the bump can be removed.

A memorial service for Phil Green, the retired police chief of Larkspur and Corte Madera, is planned for Feb. 23 in Larkspur.
The service will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. in the gymnasium at Redwood High School at 395 Doherty Drive.
Green, who lived in Novato, died in his sleep last weekend during a trip to visit family in Southern California. He was 72.
Green was chief of the former Twin Cities Police Authority from its formation in 1980 until his retirement in 2010. He was a San Rafael policeman from 1961 to 1980 and Corte Madera police chief from 1977 to 1980.

Mark Wahlberg is no dummy.
The actor has revealed that he recently made a decision to earn his high school diploma for his four children, who are getting closer to their own high school years every day.
"I didn't want the kids saying, 'You didn't do it, so why do I need it?'" Wahlberg told People. "They are all wanting to do things in their future that require an education."
Wahlberg, 42, was doing drugs and stealing cars by the time he'd reached his early teens, and he ended up dropping out of school in the ninth grade. Like most parents, he wants much better for his children Ella, 10; Michael, 7; Brendan, 5; and Grace, 3.
So in order to set a good example, he studied for his online classes between takes on the set of his latest blockbuster, "2 Guns," although co-star Denzel Washington had no idea Wahlberg was hitting the books.
"Denzel was always asking me what I was doing but I didn't want to share that information with him," he said. "Nobody knew, because I felt like I don't like to count my chickens before they hatch, so I didn't want to say that I was doing it until I actually finished it. What if I said I'm doing this and I didn't finish it?"
Fortunately, he did. The "Boardwalk Empire" producer received his high school diploma in June, which he considered "a huge accomplishment."
"It's also a huge sense of relief," he confessed. "I wondered, 'Why didn't I do it when I was there?' It's so much harder at 41 going back and trying to do all these difficult tasks."
He wrote an op-ed for Huffington Post advocating for investment in education. The former underwear model also described the work that his charitable Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation is doing with "organizations making a difference" in helping teens graduate, such as the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens.
As for his own education, Wahlberg said he hasn't necessarily completed it yet.
"I would love to go to USC and study film," he noted. "I don't want to become a veterinarian or anything, [I want to study] things that further my career and broaden my horizon."
As long as it doesn't interfere with his TV and movie making, we're all for it!

Kern County deputies arrest man they say tried stealing $100,000 in almonds
WASCO, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) A truck driver was arrested Thursday on suspicion of trying to steal $100,000 worth of almonds from a Wasco grower.
Inland Container Express made a contract with a company to transport the Sunny Gem almonds to North Carolina.
That freight broker grew suspicious when the fraudulent company turned in paperwork with a list of fake numbers.
"We immediately noticed some things that weren't correct on it, and further investigated it to find out that the company was not who they said they were, stealing the identity of a legit trucking company," an Inland Container Express employee told Eyewitness News on Friday in anonymity.
Inland Container Express and Sunny Gem contacted the Kern County Sheriff's Office, and deputies set up a sting operation at Sunny Gem.
Deputies met the transport driver, who they found to have a fake driver's license, fake immigration documents, fake company emblems on his truck, and a stolen license plate on his trailer.
The deputies arrested the driver, Francisco Javier Lopez Martinez.
"One got caught, and we're gonna catch all that we can. Don't think that we're an easy company to hit," said Sunny Gem spokesman Andrew Murry.

text: All hail the King of Rock and Roll By Katherine Burgess, Winfield High School January 16, 2012 Story Share January 8, 1935 is a day of special importance in the music world. On this day, the King of Rock and Roll was born.Elvis Presley, or simply Elvis, is a cultural icon and one of the world's greatest music legends. He has sold more than a billion records. His music was the start of everything we listen to today. Even the outstanding John Lennon once said, "Before Elvis, there was nothing." Not only was Elvis a brilliant performer; he was also an exceptionally kind person. He dedicated his life to pleasing people. On several occasions, he was known to just give people cars for no reason than to be a good person. Elvis began his life in a small house in Tupelo, Miss. When he was 13, his family moved to Memphis, where his fame would begin.In 1954, only six years after the move, Elvis signed a deal with Sun Records, accompanied by guitarist Scott Moore and bassist Bill Black. These three men were among the original performers of rockabilly and helped popularize the sound, which is an up-tempo, backbeat fusion of country and rock.In 1955, RCA Records signed Elvis and managed him for two years. During this time, Elvis' hit song "Heartbreak Hotel" and his self-titled first album were released. He became famous as a singer of the newly popular rock and roll sound. He also had a series of television appearances in that time, including his famous performances on "The Ed Sullivan Show," as well as a number of chart-topping hits. In November 1956, he made his film debut in "Love Me Tender." In 1958, Elvis was drafted by the Army and sent to Germany. There, he met his future wife, Priscilla Beaulieu, on Sept. 13, 1959, during a party held at his home.After returning from the military, Elvis focused on movies for several years, starring in "G.I. Blues," "Blue Hawaii," "Viva Las Vegas" and many more. On May 1, 1967, nearly eight years after they met, Elvis and Priscilla married at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. Their daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was born on Feb. 1, 1968.Later in 1968, Elvis returned to the stage in a concert that has become known as his '68 Comeback Special. His career skyrocketed once again, and on Jan. 14, 1973, his concert, "Aloha From Hawaii," was broadcast live around the world. About 1.5 billion people worldwide watched it. No other artist -- then or now -- could command such a huge audience. It is still the most watched broadcast by an individual entertainer in TV history.As his fame extended, Elvis found himself away from home a lot, causing a strain on his marriage. On Feb. 23, 1972, he and Priscilla separated, and on Oct. 9, 1973, their divorce was finalized.The two stayed close, though, and on several occasions, Priscilla was known to teach Elvis' girlfriends how to take care of him. Many people believe that when Elvis lost Priscilla, he lost himself and this brought about his demise. On Aug. 16, 1977, Elvis died suddenly due to prescription drug abuse. He was 42.Elvis will forever go down in history as The King. He created the foundation of modern music and is one of the most exceptional people ever to live. He was more than a man; he was a god among men.Elvis was a true genius. He's the only musician who is a member of the Rock and Roll, Country and Gospel halls of fame. In 2000, TV Guide Magazine deemed him Entertainer of the Century. This shows how remarkable of a star he truly was.It is impossible to describe how unique and how beautiful a person Elvis was, but it is possible to celebrate his legend.

Cheeky Girls
Monica and Gabriela Irimia are the Transylvanian twins who surprised everyone when their "Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)," a silly song written by their middle-aged mother, entered the UK singles chart at No. 2, and then went on to top the charts throughout Europe.
AppealThese girls are thin; we're talking extremely skinny here, to the point that they seem free of any body fat. We suppose their years of training as dancers contributed heavily to their current weight situation. Their best assets are their tight, slightly muscular legs, and their "cheeky" cheeks (the rear end ones).
We're not advocating that Monica and Gabriela gain any weight unless they choose to, but until they put some meat on those Romanian bones of theirs, their sexiness score will suffer. We do acknowledge that there are plenty of guys who like their women super skinny; we just don't happen to be any of those guys. Those accents of theirs are pretty sexy, though.
SuccessThe Irimia sisters are the first Romanian pop act to have a major international hit, although they haven't been able to crack the elusive American market thus far. Could they, along with the aforementioned t.A.T.u., be the first in a wave of female vocalists hailing from what the U.S. Secretary of Defense recently referred to as the "new Europe"? Will we soon be seeing the Czech-ie Chicks or other Danube divas from the former Soviet bloc storming up the pop charts thanks to these Transylvanian twins?
Whatever happens, Gabriela and Monica are living their 15 minutes of fame with hopes that it will carry on further. The song that had the Popstars judges and Britain laughing in bemusement has taken the Cheeky Girls and their mum all the way to the bank, with sales approaching a million copies in Europe and the UK. They had already collected a Silver Disc in Britain for selling more than 200,000 copies of the "Cheeky Song," which spent nine weeks in the top twenty. The twins are trying to trademark their group name to cash in on any merchandise bearing the word "cheeky." They claim they've been approached by people who want to market Cheeky clothing, Cheeky mugs and Cheeky underwear.
Cheeky Girls BiographyThe Irimia twins were born on Halloween, October 31, 1982, in Cluj-Napoca, deep in the heart of Transylvania, Romania. Gabriela appeared first, followed 10 minutes later by sister Monica. Father Doru is a medical doctor, and songwriting mother Margit is a nurse and midwife.
The girls began their schooling at three, and also learned gymnastics between the young ages of three to five at a physical education institute. Swimming and karate soon replaced the girls' artistic gymnastics training, and by the time they reached seven, classical ballet had taken precedence over all other activities.
turning the other cheek
Around the same time, Gabriela and Monica began developing their musical side by frequenting the Hungarian Opera House in their hometown. Their mother emigrated to England in 1993, leaving the 10-year-old twins and their father in Romania. That September, they were accepted at the Octavian Strola High School of Choreography in Cluj.
The Irimia sisters' schooling ran up to 10 hours a day. The mornings were spent studying classical ballet, while the afternoon agenda focused on academics. An additional couple of hours of after-school lessons were devoted to music and singing, and further instruction in traditional Spanish, Russian, Hungarian, and Romanian dance, as well as contemporary dance. During the twins' final two years at the school, additional intensive ballet and dance lessons often made the days run as long as 13 hours. During these years, they frequently performed live at the Romanian and Hungarian Opera Houses as part of their course requirements.
When Monica and Gabriela were 16, their appearance together on a Romanian quiz show won them a two-week holiday at Dram Castle, where legend has it Count Dracula had resided. The pair graduated from choreography school in 2001, and soon relocated to Rye, East Sussex, England, reuniting with their mother, now known as "Margaret," and her English husband.
getting cheeky
In the Transylvanian twins' quest for instant stardom, the girls took a stab at becoming famous when they auditioned for Popstars: The Rivals (a show in which aspiring singers vie for a record deal, and are chosen by celebrity judges), in London.
Armed with an original tune, "Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)," penned by their mother, and backed with years of dance training, Gabriela and Monica had the judges' collective heads shaking in disbelief, wondering if they were for real or not. One of the judges, veteran producer Pete Waterman, declared them the "worst act ever," while former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell called them "unforgettable."
Undeterred, the twins appeared at a second round of Popstars auditions in Manchester the following week, with another composition of Margaret's. After the Romanian sisters' performance of "Good Things Come To Those Who Wait," the three judges burst out in laughter.
They even auditioned for Channel 4's Model Behaviour, a reality program that searched for men and women to appear on the cover of a magazine. The soon to be dubbed "Cheeky Girls" failed to get past the first round after two auditions.
Despite the negative criticism and the reaction of Popstars' celebrity panel, the girls were soon approached by several producers and label scouts who were eager to sign them.
cheeky chicks
Multiply Records released the Cheeky Girls' debut single, "Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)" on December 2, 2002, the same day the Cheeky Girls official website was launched. Six days later, the single entered the UK chart at No. 2, where it would remain until early January. On the 11th of January 2003, Monica and Gabriela each received a Silver Disc award for sales of 200,000 copies of the song that seemed like a joke just a few months earlier.
In February, the Transylvanian twins made their first live appearances outside of the UK with performances in Belgium, Austria and Germany. Upon their return to Britain, they learned that several scheduled UK gigs had been canceled due to poor tickets sales. In March, the girls took a day off from their busy schedules to visit their father and grandmother in Romania. April found them in Holland, and in a return visit to Germany, they were featured on German Top of the Pops.
Combined British and European sales of the "Cheeky Song" topped 800,000 by mid-spring. A second Cheeky Girls single, "Take Your Shoes Off," was released in early May 2003. Gabriela and Monica are set to appear in Granada TV's production of Dracula, starring Martin Kemp as the legendary Transylvanian vampire.

Jose Mourinho
AppealJose Mourinho is confident, smart, successful, famous, charming, and handsome (or so the ladies claim...). That means he attracts bad boy-liking babes, gold-diggers, attention-starved softies, and just about any other woman we left out.
The only real minus for the ladies are the long hours he puts into his work, which would especially be a turnoff for the romantics. Luckily, he's been married since 1989.
Jose Mourinho went from team translator to world famous head coach in just over 10 years. In that time, most people remain complacent, patiently awaiting a raise or a promotion.
His first head coaching job was a definite achievement, but it was during his second stint, with UD Leiria, that he scratched the surface of success by taking a team that had never won the Portuguese league and placing fourth.
In 2002, he was drafted by Porto for their head coaching vacancy and boasted his goals of "making Porto champions next year." They finished third that season and won in 2003, claiming the SuperLiga as well as the Portuguese and UEFA Cups.
By that point, Porto and Jose Mourinho were no longer an unknown partnership in Portugal, and both team and coach had garnered widespread praise throughout Europe. Some thought Porto had hit a ceiling in 2003, but then the ultimate goal was accomplished in 2004: the Champions League.
Finally, it was time for Jose Mourinho to receive additional acclaim, responsibility and money. Chelsea, of the adored English Premier League, gave Jose Mourinho an offer he could not refuse, and he took the reigns as the team's manager in 2004. It had been about 50 years since Chelsea could brag about their status in the EPL, but the wait was over when they returned to glory under Mourinho's tutelage in 2004.
Most recently with Inter Milan Mourinho has continue to set records. In the 2012 he and his club broke numerous records: most total and away games won in La Liga, most goals scored, the most points in all if the European leagues and the highest goal differential to boot.
Although it has been a short span, every team Jose Mourinho has coached has either transcended expectations or rewritten its own record books. His track record is already exceptional, but the best is yet to come.
Jose Mourinho BiographyJose Mario dos Santos Mourinho Felix was born on January 26, 1963, in Setubal, Portugal. Soccer (or football, as it's known in most of the world) is in his blood as his father was renowned Portuguese goalkeeper Felix Mourinho. Jose never excelled as a professional player and his mother tried to guide his interests in other directions by enrolling him in business school.
jose mourinho's early yearsHowever, Jose Mourinho was adamant about proving that he could make a living in the soccer world, and so he quit business school on the second day and immediately registered in a physical education college. He graduated with a degree in physical education, specializing in football methodology. Jose married his wife Tami in 1989, and together they have a son, Jose Jr., and a daughter, Matilde.
jose mourinho with robson and van gaalIn the early '90s, Jose Mourinho was working low-profile trainer jobs until he got a major entryway to the soccer world when he was hired as a translator for acclaimed manager Bobby Robson. He went beyond his interpreter gig and became a helpful apprentice to Robson -- so much so that Robson made him an assistant manager. The two got along so well that Robson brought him along to FC Porto and then FC Barcelona.
Jose Mourinho watched and learned Robson's motivational skills, and absorbed preparation and defensive techniques from Louis van Gaal, Robson's successor at Barcelona.
In his biography, Jose Mourinho credits Dutch coach Louis van Gaal as a strong influence in his strategy; much of his own coaching style is based on the foundations that he learned from Van Gaal.
jose mourinho at benfica and ud leiriaIn 2000, Jose Mourinho got his first head coaching gig at Benfica. Even though he was well-liked by fans, a change in ownership shortened his stint there to only nine games.
In 2001-'02, Jose Mourinho became head coach of Uniao de Leiria, a run-of-the-mill squad. Leiria had never raised any eyebrows, so when the team finished fourth with their new coach at the helm, Jose Mourinho started to garner attention from the bigger teams in the SuperLiga.
jose mourinho with fc portoJose Mourinho finally got a four-star opportunity when FC Porto took a chance on the up-and-coming coach in January 2002.
There he was an immediate catalyst for success. After his first full season, he produced the league title, the Portuguese Cup and the UEFA Cup.
The bar was set so high in Mourinho's debut year that it seemed impossible for FC Porto to meet the same expectations in 2004. Yet not only did Porto meet the standard, they shattered it and set new ones. Porto won another league title and stormed their way to a Champions League Cup. As for disappointments, they lost the Portuguese Cup final, as well as a game to Real Madrid in the first group phase.
jose mourinho coaches chelseaTwo years of well-publicized success in Portugal meant that Jose Mourinho was now one of the soccer world's most sought-after coaches. He was finally in the coveted position of being able to select his next job, and he picked deep-pocketed Chelsea of the English Premier League, a team hungry for results.
At first it took some time for the fans to grow accustomed to Jose Mourinho, a more serious, goal-oriented manager than the team's former leader, Claudio Ranieri.
Jose "Special One" Mourinho instilled his famous confidence and swagger into the team's players, and he eventually led Chelsea to their first English Premier League Championship in 50 years.
jose mourinho signs new contractIn May of 2005, Jose Mourinho signed a new five-year contract, taking him until 2010, which will replace his old three-year contract. With a salary reportedly worth 5 million pounds (about $9 million USD) per year -- before bonuses or commercial deals -- Jose Mourinho is the world's highest-paid soccer manager.
That is, until 2007, when, after citing differences between himself and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, Jose Mourinho abruptly left Chelsea. In total he won them six trophies in three years, making him one of Chelsea's most successful managers.
jose mourinho goes to Inter and then Real Madrid
Continuing his impressive track record Mourinho hit the ground running as he took up the helm at Inter Milan and proceeded to take home his second Champion's League title in 2010. Immediately following this success Mourinho once again switched teams and took over powerhouse Real Madrid. His magic going nowhere, Mourinho guided the club to a record-setting year in 2012 and became the first coach to win Super Cups in four different nations.

Detailed Description:
Twenty to thirty percent of children with epilepsy continue to suffer from seizures, even when treated with currently available anticonvulsant medications. Children with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) are particularly handicapped by atonic-myoclonic seizures. Preliminary data suggest that even when other medications have failed, these seizures may respond rapidly and dramatically to a high-fat-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet. The purpose of the study is to assess if the classic ketogenic diet is efficacious in reducing seizure frequency, medication toxicity, and improves quality of life.

Further study details as provided by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS):
|Study Start Date:
|July 1997
The ketogenic diet (KD) is a form of therapy for seizures that involves a brief period of fasting followed by a very carefully controlled high fat-low protein and carbohydrate diet. Studies suggest it is useful in children whose seizures could not be controlled by any of the medicines available. This study is designed to test, in a carefully controlled fashion, how well the diet works in children with "drop" seizures. Children who experience 15 or more drop seizures each day, despite having used at least two medications, may be eligible to participate. This study requires children to undergo periods of fasting and to maintain a carefully controlled diet. Parents of participating children monitor their children's diets and keep daily meal and seizure diaries.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|1 Year to 10 Years (Child)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- >15 myoclonic or atonic seizures a day

Newport hope winning form continues at Quins
7:36am Friday 14th March 2014
7:36am Friday 14th March 2014
A REVITALISED Newport will be looking to continue their rich vein of form when they travel to high flying Carmarthen Quins tonight (kick-off 7.30pm), writes Iwan Gabe Davies.
The Black and Ambers look for a hat trick of victories after smashing Bridgend 46-24 in a bonus point win away and then crushing Neath 20-3 at Rodney Parade last week.
Their comprehensive win over the stuggling Welsh All Blacks six days ago did much to ease their relegation fears, the prospect of dropping down to the Swalec Championship almost certainly dispelled.
Newport head coach Sven Cronk was delighted with his troops for the way they performed, especially when the spectre of still being embroiled in a basement dogfight loomed large.
"Last weekend's win was very pleasing in what was a big pressure game for us because we really did come up trumps," he said.
The Black and Ambers can do their big Gwent rivals Cross Keys a real favour tonight by beating a Quins side who are second in the Principality Premiership, ten points ahead of the Pandy Park team in fifth place.
And Cronk wants his side to improve on their success over Neath, urging his men to be more ruthless when scoring opportunities arise.
They scored two tries in their most recent triumph, but were unlucky not to score a hatful more.
"It was a good performance last week but, when we looked back, we should have got a bonus point win," he said.
"Carmarthen is a tough place to go but we go there with plenty of confidence and look to be more clinical."
Newport were unfortunate not to beat Quins back in late November, going down to an agonising 23-21 defeat at Rodney Parade.
Tonight, will be without two Wales Under-20s players in centre Tyler Morgan and back row forward Ollie Griffiths, on duty for the clash with Scotland in Colwyn Bay.
But their age grade national squad colleagues, wing Ashton Hewitt and fly-half Ethan Davies, are both available.
There is bad news for the Black and Ambers in that back rower Rhys Jenkins is out for the rest of the season with a torn bicep, sustained in the win over Neath.
"It's a real shame for him," Cronk said. "He hasn't had much luck with injuries and was playing really well last week.
"Rhys will be out for between eight to ten weeks and will have an operation on Monday."

TPWD Set to Graduate 41 New Game Wardens
AUSTIN – After seven months of training in everything from water rescue and state-federal law to alligator handling, the 41 cadets of the 55th Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Game Warden class will close one chapter of their lives and start a new one with their graduation Tuesday as state game wardens.
The ceremonies, open to the public, will be at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the E1 auditorium at the Capitol in Austin.
The new game wardens will then report for duty at stations spanning the state from East Texas to El Paso. Game wardens' duties include responding to natural disasters and conducting public outreach on a variety of topics in addition to enforcing hunting and fishing laws and water safety regulations.
"Basically, game wardens are the primary law enforcement off the pavement in Texas," said Major Danny Shaw, director of training at the academy. "We do a lot more for the people of Texas than enforcing game and fish laws."
This class of cadets is the second to be trained in the new Texas Game Warden Training Center in rural Hamilton County. Located on a 220-acre tract donated by the Police Assistance League of Texas, the $20 million training center project has so far seen completion of an administration building, education hall-armory, dining hall and fitness center. The second phase will include a firing range, a water rescue facility, emergency vehicle operations course, refitting of instructor quarters and cadet cabins and helicopter landing pad
These 41 cadets will bring to 532 the number of men and women who are carrying on a tradition of service to Texas that game wardens started in 1895.
The following counties will soon be seeing these new game wardens:
- Archer County – Richard Key
- Brewster County – Daniel Kessler and Matt Kiel

Paul Gauguin - Van Gogh Painting Sunflowers 1888 Paul Gauguin moved in with Van Gogh at the Yellow House in Arles in late October 1888. Within a few weeks, however, their relationship began to sour. Gauguin wrote to Bernard: 'In general, Vincent and I see eye to eye on very little, especially on painting.' One recurring argument was whether it was best to paint after nature or from the imagination. Van Gogh mostly based himself on reality, while Gauguin composed many of his paintings from memory or his own invention. - art-Gauguin.com

I am proud to let you discover the new XBMC PPA management for the XBMC project.
First you need to understand how installing software on Ubuntu works, what is a software repository and how to add new software repositories to your system.
PPA stands for Personal Packages Archive. The system permits to developers on Launchpad to have an Ubuntu repository to share and to prepare packages for the users.
We, Team-XBMC, have created PPAs to distribute XBMC to the Users :
- one official PPA for supported ubuntu series (HARDY, INTREPID ...)
- one for SVN daily build that should be considered as unstable and bleeding edge.
- a last one that shouldn't be used by users and only developers.
If you are interested in stable XBMC releases (releases that we certify as usable and/or testable), please use the stable PPAs. Once added in your repository list, you will be notified for any update we make. You will have the latest stable version this way.
You will find on the PPA page the key used to sign the packages. See this link to know how to set it up .
The Ubuntu keyserver is listening on port 11371. you can have issues getting the key, if you have a firewall that blocks it. You need to know that the OpenGPG server are usually sync. So the key you are searching could be found on other servers like http://keyserver.pramberger.at/
Official PPA :
For more advanced users, here is the SVN PPA.
SVN PPA (more or less daily builds)
See :
Note: For VDPAU users , you need to have NVidia 190.42 drivers to use a full featured VDPAU. Use the following PPA to get the drivers for your distribution.
- Nvidia Vdpau Team PPA
deb [url]http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu[/url] <distribution> main

Lyrical Protest: Black Music's Struggle Against Discrimination (Media and Society Series) Reviews
Lyrical Protest: Black Music's Struggle Against Discrimination (Media and Society Series)
In this powerful new study Mary Ellison demonstrates the unique role of black music as an articulation of black aspirations and fears, and as a reaction to a range of social, economic, and political realities. She reveals black music as a soundtrack for life in all its complexity. Through a very close examination of lyrics, musical style, and form in black music throughout history, Ellison brings to light a genre of music varied in its intentions and impact; a catalyst for activism and a stimulus for changing attitudes. The book is organized around topical issues and explores such themes as black power, revolution, socialism, black feminism, and world peace.One of the few books on music and social change to deal specifically with black musi

The Voice of Saturn – Synth & Sequencer from wiretotheear on Vimeo.
Here is a video of my latest toys. The Voice of Saturn Synthesizer & Sequencer. They are from Curious Inventor and available as a kit or pre-built. I've been able to also control the synth using my Kenton Pro-2000. I've also been able to lock the Saturn Sequencer to Ableton Live also using the Kenton Pro-2000.
Loosely based on the Atari Punk Console with some custom tweaks and an LFO front end, this box makes a ridiculous amount of different sounds (mp3 coming soon), all from three 555s. (synth) – www.curiousinventor.com
This is a 10 step analog sequencer, which basically steps through 10 different voltage levels that are set by the black knobs. The output control voltage and trigger signals are typically used to control pitch, filters, drum triggers and an endless number of other parameters on other synths. (sequencer) – www.curiousinventor.com
There not too much for me to say other than these are great, cheap, dirty and fun. What more do you want?

Prospective Students | Current Students | Alumni | Faculty + Staff
2009-2010 Faculty
In the past year, eleven new tenure-track faculty members and two lecturers joined the School of Science. We're proud to welcome these distinguished colleagues and researchers to our team.
Gregory Anderson
Welcoming opportunities for collaboration, Dr. Anderson joins the biology department after completing more than four years of post-doctoral study in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Dartmouth Medical School.
Anderson brings extensive experience researching bacterial interactions with host tissues. Most recently, he developed a novel model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation on cystic fibrosis-derived airway cells in culture, using this model to study the molecular basis of pathogenesis and biofilm formation on the lung epithelium. His studies were supported by a post-doctoral research grant from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Anderson earned a Ph.D. in Molecular Microbiology and Microbial Pathogenesis from Washington University in St. Louis. He is eager to establish an externally funded program in molecular biofilm research, investigating bacterial biofilms in pathogenesis and chronic infection.
Stephen Boehm
Dr. Stephen Boehm, tenured associate professor of psychology, brings along a five year grant for $1.25 million from The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to extend research on the role gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors play in alcohol consumption and binge drinking. His research will provide information on the changes in brain GABA systems during alcohol intake to better understand alcohol use, binge drinking, tolerance and addiction.
Boehm comes from the State University of New York in Binghamton (SUNY) where he held a faculty position and received a K01 NIH grant to study the mRNA expression in the brain following repeated alcohol exposure using real-time PCR. He completed his postdoctoral studies in Behavioral and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of Texas at Austin, received a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Northern Colorado, and a Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience from Oregon Health & Science University in Portland.

Already making a mark with the local science community, Ge has engaged in a strategic partnership with Dr. Qizhaung Ye, a professor at the IU School of Medicine, to synthesize and modify the structures of biologically active natural products for the development of anti-cancer agents to treat a specific type of cancer: estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer.
A native of China, Ge and a fellow student patented a specific method to effectively prepare organic chemical compounds. He plans to continue work in organic methodology development to provide new ways for certain organic chemical transformations. Ge has been an active researcher for the past 10 years earning his post doctorate at The Scripps Research Institute at La Jolla, Calif. and Ph.D. at the University of Kansas.
James Hill
Completing both a master's degree and Ph.D. at Vanderbilt University, Dr. James Hill begins his first full-time faculty position at the School of Science this fall. Hill is an active researcher with several publications, including a book chapter, to his credit.
Most recently, as a research assistant for Vanderbilt's Institute for Software Integrated Systems (ISIS) - Distributed Object Computing (DOC) Group, Hill was involved in researching and developing a system execution modeling tool - the Component Workload Emulator (CoWorkEr) Utilization Test Suite (CUTS) - that allows DRE system developers and engineers to analyze and validate large-scale distributed system QoS properties, such as performance, on its target architecture from design to production time. While a visiting researcher at auction Web site eBay Inc. in 2007, Hill was the lead developer and QA engineer on a start-up project for optimizing eBay's backend search engine by locating transient errors that impact performance.
Lei Li
Dr. Lei Li, assistant professor in bioinorganic chemistry, brings a three year NIH R00 grant to gain a better understanding on how radical enzymes fulfill biological functions. His research will focus on the DNA repair enzyme named spore photoproduct lyase (SPL). Li's research in the area of bioinorganic chemistry has led to the design of copper complexes as anti-cancer drugs earning him two international patent applications and the "Outstanding Invention of the Year Award" from the University of Maryland.
He joins the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology from University of Michigan where he received the Pathway to Independence Award from the NIH. This award at K99 phase enabled Li to study the structure and mechanisms of radical enzymes including the SPL. Upon completion of the K99 phase of the grant, Li began the R00 phase conducting research of SPL in the chemistry lab at IUPUI this month. Li earned his Ph.D. in Bioinorganic Chemistry from The Johns Hopkins University as well as his Masters of Science in organometallic chemistry and Bachelors of Science in chemistry from Peking University in Beijing, China.
Ryan Martin
Assistant mathematics professor Dr. Ryan Martin earned his Ph.D. from Purdue University. Martin's primary area of research is mixture models, traditionally used for modeling heterogeneous populations, but now used for statistical inference in some new and exciting
applications, particularly in gene expression profiling, where tens of thousands of genes are analyzed simultaneously. His work is applicable in gene expression profiling, which consists of extracting a genetic profile from two groups of individuals – one with and one without a particular disease (such as cancer), but otherwise similar, and identifying the tiny proportion of genes out of 500,000 that are differentially expressed. Doctors can use this genetic information to identify and treat at-risk patients in a more timely manner.
Martin is currently working on some theoretical solutions to address these problems, as well as developing new mixture model-based methodologies for these types of large-scale classification problems that can be widely applied in the practical world.
Patrick Morton
Dr. Patrick Morton joined the School of Science in 2002 as an adjunct professor and became a professor of mathematics six years later. Prior to coming to IUPUI, Morton was a member of the mathematics faculty at Wellesley College for 15 years, serving as department chair for three years. He held post-doctoral positions at Caltech and at Harvard University, where he was awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Morton researches extensively in the fields of number theory, algebra and geometry, with a strong interest in mathematical logic and the foundations of mathematics. Most recently, he authored a series of papers on complex multiplication. Morton earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Arizona and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.
Roland Roeder
Dr. Roland Roeder earned a Ph.D. from Cornell University before completing two postdoctoral fellowships – a one-year appointment at the Fields Institute (part of the University of Toronto), followed by two years in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Toronto. He was most recently a lecturer at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences at Stony Book University in New York.
Roeder's research focus is in three areas: complex dynamics in several variables, hyperbolic geometry and applications of dynamical systems theory to physics. While at Cornell, he received the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Graduate Research and Training Fellowship, as well as the National Defense Science Engineering and Graduate Fellowship.
Robert Stewart
An as research scientist and part-time lecturer at the School of Science since 1995, Dr. Robert Stewart begins his first semester as a full-time senior lecturer in psychology this fall. Throughout his career, Stewart has researched extensively in the fields of behavioral pharmacology, psychopharmacology, biological psychology, motivation and learning. His pre-clinical research uses models to test reinforcement, choice behavior, conditioned drug effects, anxiety and stress, and drug tolerance and sensitization.
Affiliated with the Alcohol Research Center on the IUPUI campus, Stewart is currently engaged in the examination of neuropeptide systems involved in the regulation of ingestion and response to stress to determine their role in alcohol consumption and dependence.
Stewart completed his undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Toronto, earning a Ph.D. in pharmacology in 1988.

Toxicology Brief: Moth repellent toxicosis
Naphthalene evaporates easily and has a strong odor that repels moths. People can detect it in the air at concentrations of 84 ppb.1 Naphthalene can be inhaled, ingested, or absorbed transdermally. It is soluble in oils and fats, so dermal absorption is increased if oils have been previously applied to the skin. Similarly, oral absorption increases when naphthalene is coadministered with a fatty product such as corn oil.1,3 Paradichlorobenzene also has a characteristic penetrating odor and is well-absorbed orally and by inhalation.4 As with naphthalene, drinking milk or eating a fatty meal after oral exposure to paradichlorobenzene increases its absorption.4,5 Mothballs of either type may take several days to dissolve in the gastrointestinal tract, so prolonged absorption is possible.2Naphthalene is carried to other organs once it enters the bloodstream, regardless of the absorption route. After a single dose of naphthalene in pigs, the highest concentration of naphthalene was found in adipose tissue. The kidneys, liver, and lungs contained the next highest concentrations, respectively. But pigs given multiple doses of naphthalene had the highest concentrations in the lungs with little in adipose tissue.1 The highest tissue concentrations of paradichlorobenzene are found in adipose tissue.4 Both naphthalene and paradichlorobenzene are found in milk and are able to cross the placenta.3,5
The metabolism of naphthalene is complex. The initial metabolite, a 1,2-oxide, is produced in the liver by the monooxygenase enzymes (P450). Naphthalene 1,2-oxide can then form epoxides or quinones that may cause cellular damage, or it can be conjugated with glutathione to nontoxic metabolites.6 Additionally, some metabolites are conjugated with sulfate or glucuronic or mercapturic acid.1,3 Paradichlorobenzene is oxidized to phenolic compounds and then undergoes rapid conjugation with sulfate and glucuronide.5 The metabolites of both naphthalene and paradichlorobenzene are excreted primarily through urine, but some metabolites are excreted in bile.1,3-5
Paradichlorobenzene is considered less toxic than naphthalene. In rats, the oral LD50 of naphthalene is 1.8 g/kg,7 whereas the oral LD50 of paradichlorobenzene is 3.8 g/kg.5 Dogs ingesting 1.5 g/kg of paradichlorobenzene did not develop clinical signs of toxicosis,4 but hemolytic anemia was reported in a dog that received a single 1,525-mg/kg dose of naphthalene and in another dog that received about 263 mg/kg/day naphthalene for seven days.1 One mothball of either type weighs about 5 g. Less than one naphthalene mothball may cause clinical signs of toxicosis in children, but accidentally ingesting up to one paradichlorobenzene mothball is generally well-tolerated.3,4
Hematologic effects have been reported in dogs after naphthalene ingestion,1,8 and cataracts have developed in laboratory animals.1 In the ASPCA APCC database, the most commonly reported clinical signs after ingesting naphthalene-containing moth repellent products were vomiting, lethargy, and anorexia (ASPCA APCC Database: Unpublished data, 2004). Seizures and methemoglobinemia were also reported.

2012 O'Brien Baker 140
The Baker started from a simple idea; build a super durable board that could be ridden anywhere.To achieve this goal, we latched on to the considerable talents of Nick Ennen to help make it happen. Based on the same proven construction features as our super successful Paradigm board (Fusion core, sintered PTEX base, Dura-Rail side walls), the Baker adds more rocker, a bit stiffer flex pattern, molded fins and bottom contouring for the ultimate go-anywhere, ride-anything and not worry about it board. Featuring a steep progressive rocker line and full tip and tail profiles, the Baker generates massive ollie pop and snap off the wake or onto obstacles. The molded-in fins enhance edge control and are great for pressing all that rocker. Winch, park, boat - you name it, the Baker is ready to shred it.
Shape: Ennen / Johnson

What do you do when you're already the world's #1 brand of athletic shoes and apparel? You launch a line of primo quality skateboard shoes of course. And that's exactly what Nike did in 2001 when they created Nike SB. The SB stands for skateboard by the way, and in addition to a killer line of expertly designed skate shoes, Nike SB also offers men's t-shirts, men's hats, men's hoodies, men's jackets, backpacks and socks. (And just so you ladies know that Nike SB loves you too, a full line of Nike SB girl's shoes and apparel is set to arrive soon. We'll give you a shout out when they do.)
So you might be wondering exactly how Nike SB came to be, and what is it about their gear that makes each design so amazing. Truth be told, the Nike SB story is just as crazy vivid as the colors of their shoes. So let's start with a little history, shall we?
Originally known as Blue Ribbon Sports back in 1964, the fledgling shoe brand was led by University Of Oregon track athlete Phil Knight and his coach Bill Bowerman. It wasn't until 1978 that they changed the name to Nike after the Greek goddess of victory. (Ha! Nike is a girl's name.)
Indeed, Nike's first products were track and running shoes, which led to men's t-shirts, women's tees, shorts, hoodies, hats and the like for practically every sport ever invented. (Including basketball. Anyone ever hear of Air Jordans?) And it was with same passion to create superior products for skateboarding that led to the launch of Nike SB. In 2004 they released the initial Nike Dunk SB shoe line, complete with the revolutionary Zoom Air insoles. Success! The Dunk line was a huge hit with the skate masses, including top rated pros. Which is why legends Paul Rodriguez and Lance Mountain jumped on board Nike SB as brand ambassadors.
Nike SB continued its momentum by building a private skateboard training facility in downtown Los Angeles. Called '6th And Mill' after the two intersecting streets it's built upon, this state-of-the-art skate gym is now regularly featured in leading skateboard videos, magazines and blogs. Ba-bam! Now that's what we call serious skateboard swagger. Not to mention, authentic skate cred.
Here at PacSun, authenticity is a big deal. And that goes for all our brands. If they're not supporting the California lifestyle we know, love and live, they're not going to be at PacSun.
But as is, our loyal customers have told us Nike SB has passed the test. Seriously, their cool meter is off the charts with products like the Nike SB Icon t-shirts and fleece crews, as well as the Janoski skate shoes. And whenever Nike SB releases something new and monumental, you'd better believe PacSun will be the first to offer it.
Nike SB is Nike, Inc.'s dedication to skateboarding, pure and simple. In 2001, Nike Skateboarding started with a singular mission: Respect the past, embrace the future. Whether it's through our diverse team of pros and upcoming amateurs, or through the combination of our classic and innovative footwear and apparel, that saying has helped shape our identity and been our guiding light. Twelve years into the effort, it is our goal to inspire and support skateboarders for years to come.
