Team Ratings
G. Buffon
The Azzurri captain closed in on Fabio Cannavaro's record by making his 134th international appearance but could do nothing to prevent either Argentina goal.
C. Maggio
Proved an effective attacking outlet from right-back but will be disappointed with the accuracy of his crossing and was often exposed when committing himself forward.
L. Antonelli
The full-back worked tirelessly down the left and proved a good match for Lamela in the first half.
G. Chiellini
Was Italy's most dangerous attacking threat from corners but was often caught out by the movement of Higuain. Fortunate not to concede a penalty in the first half.
A. Candreva
Continues to impress after his good Confederations Cup campaign and was a constant threat down the right wing, producing a series of precise crosses.
D. De Rossi
Was culpable for the first goal after sloppily giving away possession under no pressure. Prandelli's gamble to play him at centre-back backfired.
M. Verratti
The PSG youngster has been tipped to fill Pirlo's boots but on this performance he has a long way to go. Often over-complicated things and lost possession in midfield.
E. Giaccherini
Struggled to make an impression down the left and was unable to provide service to Osvaldo.
C. Marchisio
The Juventus midfielder was uncharacteristically simple-minded in attack and struggled to create chances for the front three. Missed a good chance to level the scores.
R. Montolivo
Was well-marshaled by Biglia and Mascherano in the middle and thus struggled to pick his passes from deep. Replaced at half-time.
P. Osvaldo
The Argentine-born forward returned after being left out of the Confederations Cup squad but he cut a frustrated, isolated figure up front. Had very little service from the Azzurri midfield but provided the assist for Insigne's goal.
M. Andújar
The Catania goalkeeper was relatively untested but did produce a wonderful save to deny Diamanti. His positioning for Insigne's wonderful strike was questionable however.
H. Campagnaro
Was identified as the weak defensive link in the second half with Insigne's introduction but handled Giaccherini well for the first 45 minutes.
F. Fernández
Was fortunate not to concede a penalty on Chiellini but proved a tough obstacle for the Azzurri attack with a series of important blocks and sliding challenges.
J. Basanta
The 29-year-old is doing a good job to establish himself as potential starting left-back for Sabella's World Cup plans as he was rarely beaten. Composed on the ball.
E. Garay
Produced a solid and spirited defensive display, showing his strength and great positional awareness to cope well with the threat of Osvaldo.
J. Mascherano
Excelled in his natural defensive midfield role and produced a solid shield in front of the back four. His effective pressing prevented Marchisio and Montolivo from pulling the strings.
E. Lamela
Sabella has high expectations for the 21-year-old but this was not one of his better performances as he was well-marshlled by Antonelli. Provided the assist for Higuain's opener.
Á. di María
Was a constant threat with his mazy dribbling but often failed to produce the goods with his final ball. Missed a presentable one-on-one late on.
L. Biglia
Lazio's new signing merged a good understanding with Mascherano and helped Argentina to dominate the midfield battle in the first half.
R. Palacio
The Inter man was unfortunate not to get on the scoresheet after a selfless and hard-working display. His accurate passing and clever runs pulled the Italian midfield out of shape.
G. Higuaín
Scored his 21st international goal with a clinical strike before turning provider for Banega to score the winner. Caused the Italy backline problems with his movement.
F. Marchetti
Provided a sublime display between the sticks, pulling off a string of world-class saves to deny Palacio, Higuain, Di Maria and Fernandez.
A. Florenzi
The Roma man helped to steady the Azzurri midfield in the second half.
A. Aquilani
Could not provide the creative spark that Prandelli demanded and was rather anonymous during Italy's fightback.
L. Insigne
Opened his international goalscoring account with a wonderful curling strike and it is doubtful he will score too many better. Caused Campagnaro problems with his pace down the left.
A. Diamanti
Added much-needed creativity to the Azzurri midfield as a second-half substitute and came close to scoring when his free kick was excellently parried by Andujar.
A. Cerci
Came on midway through the second half and caused Basanta problems with his dribbling down the right.
F. Coloccini
The curly-haired centre-back helped to shore up the Albiceleste defence in the closing stages when under heavy pressure.
- R. Álvarez
É. Banega
Made a brilliant impact from the bench, scoring the winner with a thumping low finish from the edge of the box. Will be pushing for a starting position in the upcoming qualifier against Paraguay.
M. Rodríguez
Gave the Albiceleste some much-needed fresh legs late on and his backtracking proved valuable to breaking up Azzurri attacks.
E. Lavezzi
Came on as a late substitute and had little time to influence the game, especially with Argentina on the back foot in the closing stages.

wikiHow to Make a Frozen Peanut Butter and Chocolate Banana
If you just want a snack after school, but have no frozen or snacks in the snack closet, just follow this simple after-school-snack recipe.
- Peanut butter
- Any kind of chocolate
- Banana
1Get a banana and put it in the freezer for at least 30 min.
2Take out the peanut butter, a butter knife, extra chocolate that isn't being used (can be plain Hershey's!), and, if you have them, sprinkles and raisins.
3Crush the chocolate into small pieces using the back of a spoon. Mix it into a small bowl of peanut butter. Mix in the other things, and you can add whatever sweet stuff you like!
4Take the banana out of the freezer, and put the mixture onto it. It's totally good! Enjoy!

- It would be good if the banana was frozen for 30 minutes so it won't fall apart when you smear the mixture on.
- You can also freeze the banana more after you put the mixture on so the mixture or banana won't fall apart.

"Anybody who is in this profession knows that every patient on that list has a reason to be on the list. The integrity of the list is the order that it's in."
"We had one employee who told investigators that he had mentioned concerns to his immediate supervisor in an informal way, and his impression was that the supervisor didn't want to hear about it. He filed no formal report on this and did not call our [ethics hotline], as far as we can tell, nor did the supervisor take any action, as far as we can tell."

Million Dollar Winning Lottery Ticket In Kansas
KSAL Staff - September 3, 2015 9:43 am
A million dollar winning lottery ticket from Wednesday night's Powerball drawing was sold in Northeast Kansas.
According to the Kansas Lottery, one ticket, sold in northeast Kansas, matched the first five numbers but not the Powerball number to win $1 million! The winning numbers from the September 2 Powerball drawing are: 17-22-30-46-56 Powerball 16.
The northeast region of Kansas includes the following 21 counties: Marshall, Nemaha, Brown, Doniphan, Riley, Pottawatomie, Jackson, Atchison, Geary, Wabaunsee, Shawnee, Jefferson, Leavenworth, Wyandotte, Johnson, Osage, Douglas, Franklin, Miami, Morris and the northern half of Lyon.
Since no tickets matched all numbers in last night's drawing, the Powerball jackpot rolled to an estimated $133 million, with a cash option of $84.9 million for Saturday night's drawing.

Fludarabine is available as an oral and intravenous (IV) medicine.
How It Works
Fludarabine is an antimetabolite medicine. It causes cell death by interfering with the way genetic material (DNA) in the cell multiplies.
Why It Is Used
Fludarabine is used in combination with other medicines to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
How Well It Works
Fludarabine is an effective treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has not responded to other types of chemotherapy, such as chlorambucil or cyclophosphamide. Studies are ongoing to find out the safety and effectiveness of fludarabine in people who have not received other types of chemotherapy or who are responding to other types of chemotherapy.
Side Effects
Side effects are common with fludarabine and can include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Fludarabine should be given only under the supervision of a medical oncologist or hematologist.
You may not be able to become pregnant or father a child after taking this medicine. Discuss fertility with your doctor before starting treatment.
Fludarabine can cause birth defects. Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or if you wish to become pregnant or father a child while you are taking it.
Fludarabine can interact with many other medicines. Be sure that your doctor has a complete list of all prescription and nonprescription medicines you are taking.
Do not drink alcoholic beverages or take medicines containing aspirin while being treated with fludarabine, because these can cause bleeding from your stomach.

CrackBerry Podcast 049: Good Times. A Little TOO Good.
Reader comments
CrackBerry Podcast 049: Good Times. A Little TOO Good.
Thank you for talking about adaptive voice feature. I've used the voice dialing on the Curve 8320 all the time and just deal with what it was. I still use voice dialing on the Bold 9700 and never notice the adaptive voice feature. I will have to try it out. Thanks again. P.S. - Started listening to CB podcast in January and now finally all caught up. :)
Think next time I need to put my feet up, crack open a beer and put the podcast on high speaker setting on my Blackberry Bold. Always fun.
I really hope Blackberry will come out with a unit in 2010 with a 5mp camera like Nokia phones.
im pretty sure this is pronounced like "hoy-er" by the way.
MobileB would be perfect! I hate paying for MobileMe to sync all my Mac stuff and not be able to hook it up to my BlackBerry.
I've been bluetooth synching my berry for the past 18+months useing blackberry desktop manager. it just automaticly syncs with outlook via the built in bluetooth in my windows laptop. it's free and realy easy too use it just takes about 10 min too set up and 3 synchs or so too debug your synch settings. the only problem i found was when useing my bluetooth headset the audio BT audio stream would stutter, but beyond that it's EASY ! RIM does this stuff too make it easy.
loved the show! Please continue to podcast even when there isn't a lot to talk about (or aboot for Kevin and Bla1ze). The show is fun either way. Thanks!
Love the off-topic conversations. Bla1ze's giggles continually crack me up!
I will be at WES this year - hope to sit in on a 3-beer podcast one night and watch it live!
For some reason, I enjoyed this Podcast the best so far that I have heard! Goog job everyone!
Another awesome podcast! Always a great listen :D keep em coming!
I don't use voice dialing. It's Vlingo no V-Lingo...lol. Wow Bee hive, omg. I'm installing .545 as I type this reply and listen to the podcast. KEVIN! Eeehhhhh LG. Life's Good = Lincoln Goldstar? Nope, Lucky Goldstar. South Korea? lol @ didge ball...I really need my 9700 guys, I only got one email from Deiter. L Geeee. A sex tape?? lmao, do you think the 9700 will still be a main device? I would like a BB 9700 with a touch screen OS 6, webkit and better memory. I downloaded a 35.5 GB movie torrent the other day. Are you guys using skype? RIM may be working on this ota back up stuff. I have an Otterbox Commuter for my 9700. Make it not suck? WICKED! Yea, how do you complain about free stuff????? I like that... Keep your hands on your blackberry and reach for the stars...our crack orange, whomp whomp whomp...LOL! KEVIN! Aren't we all adults? Screw that...why not swear? Sadly I had an error while loading .545 - Keep the 'damn' door closed. UberTwitter dude, you guys are doing so much testing. I am about to start my wordpress along side with my blogger. Thanks for the 'content store' advice, I tossed Nimbuzz becuz it didn't work on my OS 5.0 8900. Nice ending. CrackBerry Dot Com.
I truly enjoyed the original idea to keep Crackberry alive, even if (god forbid) there were no BlackBerry phones anymore.
Top notch show, I'm always excited when the podcast shows up in Podtrapper.
HEY! I am the winner of the Bold 9700 round robin contest and I STILL HAVE NOT gotten my BlackBerry.
woahhh?? are you serious?! kk... i'll follow up with dieter on that asap. he was handling all of the round robin winners. apologies from me. sometimes it takes a couple of weeks to get prizes all sorted, but that's a bit too long. checking into it right now. best to always email sitesupport @ crackberry.com for anything related to contests/etc. though if you ever sense a delay or issue. thx again for the patience.
Dude, thanks for responding so quickly, I also emailed him tonight. Don't worry, I have plenty of patience. Great podcast btw. "As if it isn't apparent by my super long comment below"
I usually use the desktop manager, recently I've been using the app loader. I agree with the application back up.
Tell RIM they need to keep you guys more occupied with News. When there's nothing to report, you guys lose focus and break out into a lot of side conversations. I don't mind it all too much. Reminds me that we're all just people who have multiple interests other than Blackberry mobile phones.
I know you're trying to be professionals at times, but really just fans like the rest of us. I don't mind the swearing, infact don't hold back! hehe
great podcast! pretty funny when you asked Craig(?) what he did with his iPhone and he was like "yeah... stuff." anyways, I wanted to ask you guys a question... about that email on the future of RIM's BB phones, hardware-wise, do you guys not think that they should add on better cameras? I mean yeah I love my Curve, but I really miss my N85's camera. For future phones to be better than they are currently, I would like to believe that they will put in stuff for the multimedia loving people out there. Cameras are pretty important to some, me included, and I would rather have them give me a better camera before creating "super apps". Before going further into the app business they need to fix the memory management on their phones. Do you guys consider apps more important? For me its Camera first, apps second. What do you guys think?
So I was listening to the pod case and you got goes off on the adapt voice features and I found it on 8900 5.0.411 and it the adapt voice on it so it looks like it has been there for a while.
Hey guys im running a 9000 with 188.8.131.523 and I have the adapt digits feature on voice dailing already. I have never used it but I checked and the first thing it wants me to say is "5-6-7-8". I knew about this for a while I think my 9000 had it before I did an OS update and I'm pretty sure a friend of mine running a 8330 or some other curve 1 has adapt digits on his phone.
Thanks for telling us more about the new Tour 2 which is now a Bold.... I love hearing more about this upcoming new phone for us!
Voice Dailing has been on the 8100 (running 22.214.171.124) for a while with the adapting option. BUT, it is not the same as it is on my Storm 2 (184.108.40.2061), which is more closely related to the 9700's options.
Adam sucks working from home when one is sick. But its just as bad when you are one of the first people to open a store and Have to be there.
With the new OS Kevin, does it make your girlfriends voice sound hotter?
Thanks to you guys I did not know about the voice adapting, I just went through it. Put the podcast on pause and worked through it. Interesting. Thank you.
on the podcast picture there is a partial fingerprint on the back button
thank you guys. always great

The Design for Tractable Analysis (DTA) Framework: A Methodology for the Analysis and Simulation of Complex Systems
The Design for Tractable Analysis (DTA) framework was developed to address the analysis of complex systems and so-called "wicked problems.†DTA is distinctive because it treats analytic processes as key artifacts that can be created and improved through formal design processes. Systems (or enterprises) are analyzed as a whole, in conjunction with decomposing them into constituent elements for domain-specific analyses that are informed by the whole. After using the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) to frame the problem in the context of stakeholder needs, DTA harnesses the Design Structure Matrix (DSM) to structure the analysis of the system and address questions about the emergent properties of the system. The novel use of DSM to "design the analysis†makes DTA particularly suitable for addressing the interdependent nature of complex systems. The use of DTA is demonstrated by a case study of sensor grid placement decisions to secure assets at a fixed site.

Loved this book so much when it came out--the whole aesthetic has been so fully absorbed into just about everything on the internet, I'm guessing a lot of the humour seems obvious now. (I believe it was primarily written by Harry Medved, with just an authorial "with" attached to his cousin and some other guy.) A quick count says I've seen nine of them. No vote, but by the time I did get around to seeing Marienbad and Alfredo Garcia, it was difficult for me, no matter what their virtues, not to be especially attuned to their more ludicrous aspects thanks to Medved's book.

He thought he would be "finished in Hollywood" if he was 'attached' to the book.
Then the book was a hit and people enjoyed groaning about the bad movies they were in / had to make, etc.

Not true in the least. They discuss scads more films (even a fake one) which more than justifies the purchase. Plus the several repeats are discussed in a different context.
J. Hoberman's classic "Bad Movies" essay from the same time was the smart version of all this, though.

I started with "Golden Turkey awards", got the "worst" about a year later. Then the "Vol2" came out, it was not as good but it was OK.
When MMed started becoming 'famous' more latterly, I was like that Father Ted sketch "Oh, you've decided to be a right wing aresnhl now, hows that goin for yez?"
.. because there wasn't really that much 'controversy' in his angles on the movies he mentioned (hon excep: the 'gay' jesus film, don't recall what he said there)
The main thing was 1) Wondering which was the 'bogus' film, I do know which one it is now2) His extensive Ed Wood write-up, brilliant for the most part, except that he obviously had not seen some of them and was writing up someone else's stuff. Main clue was Bela Lugosi mis-pronouncing a line as "Don't worry, he's as harmless as kitchen" instead of "a kitten" and refusing to retake it so they had to go with it. Except that actually in the film there is no such mispronounciation and it is quite clearly "a kitten".

As Xander Cage and Vin Diesel prepares to make their return to the "xXx" franchise, they'll have to do it without original director Rob Cohen. Although Cohen has been talking up the sequel for a while now, he's apparently decided to jump ship on the project to helm the silly sounding, but also potentially cool period actioner "Medieval", leaving the third "xXx" movie without a head honcho. According to THR, Columbia Pictures has solved that little issue by hiring a new director: former DP man Ericson Core.
Before they hired Core, Columbia had to get the thumbs up from Diesel, who has previously worked with Core when the former DP worked on "The Fast and Furious" with Diesel. As coincidence would have it, the director of that movie was also Rob Cohen.
The sequel, the third entry in the franchise, will bring back the original hero, Xander Cage (Diesel), who returns to the National Security Agency after an eight-year absence despite having been "killed" off screen in the second movie, the Ice Cube-starrer "State of the Union" which I think everyone agreed was just horrendous. Then again, what isn't when Ice Cube is your action hero? I mean, it's Ice Cube for God's sake. NWA? Straight outta Compton? It just ain't right.
The script for "xXX: The Return of Xander Cage" was written by John Brancato and Michael Ferris, with a recent polish by Richard Wilkes, the franchise's original writer. Shooting on the action franchise is scheduled to commence early next year for a quick 2010 release.

There's more than Eminem in Detroit, as a chap named Ford has just announced his Model T manureless carriage. Nicknamed "Tin Lizzie", the Model T utilizes a 4-cylinder motor that produces a whopping 20 horses worth of power.
Let's put 20 horses in a real world context for scale. Pretend you are riding in a carriage pulled by 2 horses. Now take that feeling and multiply it by 10. (Feel free to use a slide rule if you need to). Our only concern is that with as poorly as women already drive their horses, we can only imagine the damage they'll do with multiple beast motor power. Though maybe if a lady were to lie on the car she would appear 20 times more beautiful.

Host: New York state today is set to move forward on a plan to allow fracking. That's the controversial way of getting natural gas by shooting chemicals underground. Environmentalists say fracking will contaminate the region's groundwater.
From the sustainability desk, Marketplace's Scott Tong reports that the New York plan could be construed a couple of different ways.
Scott Tong: Initial reports suggested yes, industry victory. Yes to fracking in New York. Then, the state issued a press release.
Kevin Book: What it is is a different flavor of no.
Analyst Kevin Book is with Clear View Energy.
Book: They've ruled out any private lands that feed into the New York watershed. And they've also excluded all of the state lands for fracking. They've cut out a lot of the very desirable real estate.
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is -- in its cliche form -- a game changer. Oil and gas companies say it unlocks a domestic energy source for decades. Critics aren't sure it's safe, and governments from Maryland to Quebec to France are all debating it. Consultant Ray Perryman says the New York lesson for companies is compromise and engage the public.
Ray Perryman: And I think the ones successful in doing that, that take the lead on doing that, are going to get more cooperation, they're going to find a more friendly regulatory environment.
Up next in New York, two months for public comment. Any drilling will wait until then.
I'm Scott Tong for Marketplace.

I got this machine and now can't find out what it is. Has very good decals on it and even a number like Singer, but not name on it. The motor is a Belgelcor, but that doesn't tell me much. Any ideas?
Wow, if I was guessing I would say singer, but I am NO expert. It is a lovely machine.
there is no letter prefix of just 'A' for Singer. That looks like a gorgeous Singer 15 clone to me....
The Belgelcor Universal motors are or were made in Belgium. They are very good torquey motors. But FYI, the brush caps were made from some sort of plastic that is now very fragile. Be super gentle with them if you remove them.
Your machine is a Japanese made HA-1 clone. Not a Singer. Your picture is so dark I can't make out any details so that's all I can say.
Look underneath for manufacturers marks. My HOTHER ( my avatar pic ) was made by JUKI and is one of the best sewing machines we own.
I'm going to have my wife bury it with me so I can sew robes in the afterlife.
I agree with Joe. This is a Japanese HA-1 class 15 clone. The face plate is not a Singer pattern. Nor is the bed decals even though they are a close copy. Most likely a great machine. I love the 15 clones.
Thanks everyone. I went back and turned it inside out so to speak and didn't find Singer on anything in the machine. It is very clean inside and after some electrical work, think it will sew super. The cords were fried and need replacing. Since I only paid $10 for it I can find a new home soon, I hope. Thanks again, Bobbie
Looks like a great machine! If you remove the motor it may say Made in Japan on the pillar. If it says Made in Japan it is a clone and may use Singer parts and sew as good as a Singer. Enjoy this fine machine and good deal.
Also ... the serial number plate looks rather suspect. It looks as though it was welded on after the fact.
Looks like my 15-91 Clone of a Singer.
I think it's a clone. Nice machine though.
It's a good-looking 15-Clone! :)
you can put the picture on there with the other clones: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...p-t164361.html
There is lots of info and a manual you can print, too

Sandwich Quaker Meeting to mark town's anniversary on Sunday
- Published in Community Announcements
SANDWICH — The North Sandwich Friends Meeting (Quaker) invites the wider community to join in Sandwich's 250th Celebration at the historic Meeting House on Sunday, August 18 at 10:30 a.m.
Quaker Meetings (Society of Friends) began in Sandwich in 1790 and the first Quaker Meeting House was built in 1804 in Center Sandwich. In 1830 the peak population in Sandwich was 2,744 and the Quaker population was 700. In 1905 the first paid minister was hired and programmed meetings began. The Meeting ceased programmed meetings in the late 70's. Meeting for worship in the historic Meeting House, built in 1881, is now silent with occasional guest pastors.
The Meeting for Worship will celebrate Old Home Week with an Open House and a musical worship service, a combination of a programmed and a silent meeting. There will be a brief presentation of the Quaker Testimonies. Nancy Moore with her guitar will lead the service. Ray Stineford will pump the historic organ.
Childcare is provided. After the Meeting for Worship, guests are invited to view the large lending library and enjoy a potluck lunch.

Narcolepsy affects men and women. Symptoms usually begin during the teen or young adult years. The disorder also can develop later in life or in children, but it's rare before age 5.
Researchers think that certain factors may work together to cause narcolepsy. If these factors affect you, you may be at higher risk for the disorder. (For more information, go to "What Causes Narcolepsy?")

They don't have real courage; they have CyberCourage.
They hide behind anonymity, or behind a handle, which still provides them with anonymity and they spout all kind of hate-filled inanities.
If those who post at blogs were required to give their real name, their real state, and city, including their home address, they would behave with more civility.

OTTAWA -- A vicious online attack laced with sexual comments about the president of the student body at the University of Ottawa has angered students and led to the resignations of four student execs.
Anne-Marie Roy spoke out Sunday about the attack, saying it represents attitudes about women still present in today's university environment.
"It shows that sexism is still on our campus," said Roy, president of the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO).
"It's a misogynistic attitude," she told QMI Agency.
The defamatory comments about Roy were in an online conversation on social media between the four elected student representative and one other student. The comments were mostly written in French.
Roy said she received an anonymous e-mailed copy of the attack chat on Feb. 10 during the SFUO's electoral campaign.
"I was shocked," she said.
She's not clear why she got a copy of the Facebook exchange. It may have been a sincere concern for her safety, or a way to destabilize her in the campaign.
"It was clear from the beginning I was going to denounce them," she said.
Screenshots of the conversation were leaked Feb. 28 on the Belle Jar blog. One comment reads: "Someone punish her with their shaft."
Suggestions of Roy having syphilis or chlamydia were also part of the conversation. A bet was even suggested for one of the guys to have sex with Roy in exchange for beer.
Following the leak, a Facebook page, titled uOttawa Students Demand Resignation of Pat Marquis and Associates, was created and has thousands of likes.
Pat Marquis and Alex Larochellle, both student execs resigned, Saturday in an e-mail to Roy. Two others, Michel Fournier-Simard and Alexandre Giroux, resigned Sunday.
"There was a lot of pressure from the student community for them to resign," Roy said, adding, "The ones that haven't resigned aren't taking responsibility for what they did."
Students were appalled by their representatives' behaviour.
"We're completely disgusted," said William Leonard-Felepchuk, spokesman for the Indigenous and Canadian Studies Student Association of the University of Ottawa. "It perpetuates rape culture on our campus."
"We're relieved. We hope they understand the gravity of their words," he added.
"I refuse to have them representing students at the University of Ottawa," Vlad Serb wrote in an e-mail to QMI Agency.
University president Allan Rock released a statement Friday.
"The comments demonstrate attitudes about women and sexual aggression that have no place on campus, or anywhere else in Canadian society," Rock said.
Now that she's been re-elected president, Roy plans to promot campaigns against sexual violence and oppression.
"Some women might not want to go for a leadership position," she said of possible repercussion of the incident.

Anchorage (AFP) Mar 10, 2006
An oil pipeline leak on Alaska's North Slope has spewed up to 220,000 liters (58,000 gallons) of crude onto the tundra, causing one of the region's worst spills, officials said Thursday.
The leak, apparently caused by metal corrosion, was detected in the United States' largest oil field a week ago and forced the shutdown of a pipeline in the Prudhoe Bay field to allow for repairs and a clean-up.
Officials confirmed that -- while the leak is miniscule compared to the spillage caused by the Exxon Valdez shipping disaster in 1989 -- it could turn out to be the worst spill ever on Alaska's North Slope.
"We don't know exactly how much has been leaked, but so far 1,395 barrels (58,590 gallons) of liquids have been collected, most of crude that it is mixed with snow," Linda Giguere of Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation told AFP.
"It has covered a 1.93 acres (0.77 hectares) of snow-covered tundra at the end of a frozen lake," the spokeswoman said, pointing out that the biggest crude leak on the North Slope was a 39,850-gallon (127,500-litre) spill in 1989.
The leak was detected on March 2 by a British Petroleum (BP) worker in the Prudhoe field, which lies about 1,040 kilometers (650 miles) north of Alaska's biggest city, Anchorage.
Giguere said that officials were racing to get an exact estimate of the extent of the spill and to establish how much of the murky liquid collected was crude and how much was snow, but she said most of it would likely be crude.
Alaska's worst ever oil spill took place after the Exxon Valdez tanker ran aground in Prince William Sound, south of Anchorage, on March 24, 1989.
The Exxon Valdez was laden with 11 million gallons (41.8 million liters) of crude when it hit a reef at night, unleashing one of the world's worst environmental disasters.

The San Diego Unified School District has a lot riding on first-grade teacher Kimberly Warren.
Warren's job at Euclid Elementary School will soon be eliminated due to a drop in enrollment and higher class size limits. That puts Warren into a pool of 366 "excessed teachers" who will compete for open jobs or have one created for them by the district, which is obligated to employ every instructor on the payroll.
To help close a $92 million deficit in its $1.1 billion operating budget, San Diego Unified last spring avoided teacher layoffs by selling off property, raising class sizes and approving a system that would fill vacated jobs with excess teachers rather than bringing on new hires.
That unusual fiscal strategy is risky because it assumes the excess teachers will have the necessary credentials for the vacant jobs. If they don't, the district will have to hire more educators while still creating the new positions for the excess teachers.
Some excessed teachers, like Warren, started the school year with teaching assignments that have since been canceled. Others have been assigned to assist schools throughout the district while they await permanent marching orders.
Teachers are excessed when their positions are eliminated — usually due to an enrollment drop, increase in class size or — in the case of middle and high school — the discontinuation of a course or program.
"It's a stressful waiting game," Warren said. "It's frustrating because I have no control over where I will work."
San Diego Unified's 2013-14 budget counts on some 300 teachers having retired or resigned last school year to save $27 million. San Diego Unified has not yet released any information on the number of jobs vacated through attrition.
This week, excessed teachers will gather at a district forum to bid for vacant jobs, positions that will be awarded based on seniority and credentials.
At the end of the forum, if there are more teachers than jobs, the district must create new positions since excess teachers are tenured employees who are guaranteed employment. If there are any key jobs left open that cannot be filled with an excess teacher — such as a special-education teacher, counselor or other important core teaching position — the district will have to fill them with new personnel, said Bernadette Nguyen, San Diego Unified's human resources director.
"We don't anticipate we are going to have too many people who come out of the forum without jobs," Nguyen said.
Any new jobs that are created for excess teachers would be deployed to the neediest schools that could use an extra position to lower class size or assist in literacy instruction or other areas, said Superintendent Cindy Marten.
San Diego Unified employs more than 6,000 teachers. The number excessed each year varies — from 658 last year to 696 in 2011-12, 560 in 2010-11, and 347 in 2009-10, district records show.
After the employment forum next week, the district will work to finalize campus staffing and classroom assignments. No changes are supposed to occur after Oct. 15 under the San Diego Education Association contract with San Diego Unified.
Parents and teachers have complained to the school board in recent weeks that too many students and teachers have been moved around well into October.
School districts base their campus staffing allocations on enrollment projections and class-size formulas. But administrators never really know how many students will show up until the first day of school, and even then pupils rarely arrive in neat packages that jibe with class size limits.
For example, a school that expected 500 students would have been allocated 20 teachers if its class size was set at 25. However, if the actual enrollment came it at 400, the school would only be entitled to 16 teachers and would be forced to excess four of them.
If no one at a school volunteers to be excessed, a principal picks its least-senior teacher.
As for Warren, she has gotten used to life as an excessed teacher. She's held that designation for half of the 13 years she worked at Kimbrough Elementary School.
After a series of canceled excess notices, last year was the first time Warren was forced to leave Kimbrough and find work at another school.
This year, she volunteered to be excessed at Euclid, in part, because she would have forced a popular teacher to leave.
"I would have bumped out someone with 12 years experience," Warren said. "I don't want to be the one on staff that everyone looks at and says, 'you bumped our lead teacher.'"

The event included food, gambling, vendors, music and a silent auction. The top winners of the night won donated prizes such as snowboarding lessons, a handyman for the day and fitness packages. The funds raised will be used to help Clark County community programs such as scholarships, the Rock Solid Community Teen Center, Loaves and Fishes, the YWCA CASA program and the North County Community Food Bank. The Rotary club says it wouldn't be able to provide assistance to these programs without the help of the generous sponsors, donors and supporters in the community.

The message after eight days of fall previews at New York Fashion Week is that the consumer has choices. There isn't a must-have look or a white-hot label that everyone is talking about.
One editor wants tuxedo pants from Proenza Schouler, another the luxe embroidered coats from Oscar de la Renta. A stylist has her eye on the bias dresses at Sophie Theallet, and Michael Kors has something for everyone.
"A lot of lines have their own identity and personality this season, which is good for consumers," said Adam Glassman, creative director for O, The Oprah Magazine.
Options to consider? Rachel Roy's denim trenches, Marc Jacobs' pencil skirts and the wearable luxury offered by Donna Karan, he said.
Amanda Brooks, fashion director for Barneys New York, puts a parka coat at the top of her shopping list. "So far, for me, it's been about sporty outerwear, done in a more luxurious way. It's about fur and details - a parka with a more sophisticated shape."
Burgundy was big on almost every runway, along with autumnal navy, rust and camel - all good colors for women of different ages and skin tones. Glassman warns, though, that cobalt blue can be tricky.
Fringe is back but with fresh takes from Diane Von Furstenberg in suede and Doo.ri in knit.
If keeping warm remains your priority, the item of the season is a parka - definitely about fur, quilting and cutaways for fall.
What's going on under the parka is much more about separates. Even Rodarte took them on in a way that benefits shoppers looking to reuse them in new ways.
New York Fashion Week ended Thursday and will be followed by previews in London, Paris and Milan, Italy.
Gwen Stefani covered all her bases in the finale show, offering shrunken pantsuits for work, swingy minis for play, tunics and leather leggings for mom duty (remember she's a rock star), coats for travel and gowns for the red carpet.
The one thing missing from her new collection were the very casual clothes that she previously put on the runway. They weren't missed because they aren't the clothes her fans expect to see her wearing - and that's really where her fashion credibility lies.
Stefani still had a few too many gimmicks, but that seems to be her crutch.
"I don't think people are just rooting for Gwen," said celebrity stylist Jay Manuel. "Her style is so spot on, people want to see her mix of rocker and fashion."
Stefani divided the outfits into six categories. "It's one collection, but like subcategories, which are always my inspiration," she said in an interview Wednesday. "We have Ragga girl, we got a soldier girl, we got an English girl, we got a glamour girl, we got a buffalo girl."
When there is such emphasis on tailoring and texture, even the slightest tweak in silhouette matters, and that's how Calvin Klein creative director Francisco Costa evolves his collections from season to season.
For fall, he's made his favorite shape a little looser - sometimes boxier - with sloped shoulders and a curved collar based on a baseball jacket.
Costa explained in the show's notes that he was aiming for "youthful exuberance with a sporty vibe and a fast pace."
An interesting twist on the sheath dress was a garment that looked like a dress from the back, giving women the ease they crave, but a slit just below the hip on the front created the illusion of flattering separates.
Designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough used a pulsating makeshift runway in a warehouse to debut a line as homespun as it was urban.
There were masterful macrame skirts and dresses pieced together with exposed stitching, inspired by the American Southwest.
Coats were exquisite. Long dresses with colorful panne-velvet tops and black bottoms work for day, night - and, for a front-row guest like Liv Tyler - the red carpet.
"At the end of the show, what I was thinking about was that they always redefine for me what's right for evening. I was about to go to a dinner and I'm thinking what I'm wearing is all wrong," said Vogue senior market director Meredith Melling Burke. "All I wanted to be wearing was a Navajo pant and tuxedo jacket."
Lauren visited the fineries of Asian fashion in bright-dragon embroideries, silks and satins, and the perfect fit of a slim silhouette.
This wasn't a journey to bustling, contemporary China. It was regal and elegant with slinky velvet gowns and colorful jackets.
"I have always loved the glamour and sophistication of the 1930's and its Art Deco and Chinoiserie influences. I see it as relevant and modern now," Lauren said after the show.
There were many red-carpet evening gowns, which is not always his norm. A black-velvet column gown with a beaded jade-and-silver halter neckline, and the finale look, silver high-neck halter gown paired with a silver beaded hood, were among the most special.
He put the icing on New York Fashion Week.
Mizrahi sent poodles tinted pink, yellow and blue down his runway, along with tiered cakes to match his line of dresses in the same shades. Models wore poodle-esque black poofs on the top of their heads.
Large oversized bows draped over shoulders or across the backs of the line. Poodles popped up as pins at the waist.
Mizrahi, in a black poodle jacket, ran down the catwalk with one of the pooches at the end.
Khan received a standing ovation on closing night for a collection filled with what he does best: High shine and elegant glamour.
The Indian-born designer's dresses were often blackless, sometimes flowing and most always glittery, some with beaded bodices, embroidered with floral threadwork and trimmed with ostrich feathers.
"This collection is an exploration of artistry, technique and heritage coming together to redefine the glamour of the cosmopolitan woman," the show's notes read.
Khan dressed first lady Michelle Obama for the first state dinner with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2009.
Broad-shouldered fashionistas, rejoice: There are runway fashions for you, too.
Krakoff showed jackets and coats aplenty with extra roomy shoulders - a boxy shearling jacket, for example, over a silk dress, provided a contrast of heavy and light. Or a jacket in two shades of gray - fancier, but still with very loose, broad shoulders - falling easily over a matching wrap dress, its slit adding a touch of sexiness.
Krakoff, the creative director of Coach, naturally likes leather. He presented lots of thin "paper leather" - in shirts, quilted jackets, a dress.
He mixed sleek stripes, checks, plaids, prints and jacquard, all "thrown together so it makes fashion."
The fashion mainstay used red, black and gray stripes in dresses and separates, sometimets sewn together in panels on a garment. He used the pattern on a dress paired with a black bolero jacket. The print matched the models' red-soled Christian Louboutin shoes.
He leaned on the silhouette of an egg in skirts and the bottom of dresses.
Ten years is worth celebrating in the fashion business, and Sarafpour pulled out the stops for her party dresses.
A series of three beaded goddess gowns showed that Sarafpour can do fancy.
Still, daywear is her strong suit, especially black-and-white pieces that would be basic if they weren't so finely crafted.
She offered a gray wool-jersey dress with a dropped waist and a lace insert, and black wool flounce skirt that looked like a ribbon was pulled through the hem like icing on a cake. The skirt was worn with an oversized hand-knit turtleneck.
Mohapatra captured a smoldering, sophisticated look, offering razor-sharp silhouettes with rich textures and architectural lines.
He cut out a shoulder here, an exaggerated slit there. He played the sheerness of chiffon off the dense luxury of fur and embroidery.
"These are my sinister, glamorous clothes," Mohapatra said.
The menswear-inspired collection was all woman.
A man just wouldn't look right in that Lurex-stripe tux top of a mink sweatshirt with leather trim - even worn as a model did on the catwalk with a slim, wool "boy pant."
The collection "celebrates the strength and power of artistic femininity and the discovery of seductive sensuality," Azrouel explained in his notes.
The new collection for his Love label layered coat upon coat, skirt over trousers.
The key catwalk piece was a wrap-style coat, often worn with menswear-inspired outerwear on top and a flowy, feminine maxi skirt underneath. The overall shape of things was slouchy, especially oversized suit-style pants.
The dominant neutral palette was subtle, with something smoky and sexy to all those grays and taupes.
Michelle Smith's collection was a mix of jewel tones with bright guava and fuchsia in mohair, silk and cashmere corduroy.
She paired a guava mohair coat with a raspberry cashmere cardigan, silk herringbone blouse and leather satchel. Silk dresses were designed with large long ruffles.
Her feminine luxury attracted Kristin Chenoweth and "The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck to the front row.
Models wore fur collars that fluffed to their ears. Fox fur ran down the fronts of skirts. It was wrapped around the neck of a long sleeve top, then around its front.
He found inspiration in '70s-era rock climbers in California, Alpine ski style, colonial explorers, early 20th century female mountaineers and traditional Tibetan costume.
"Project Runway" judge Nina Garcia sat in the front row.
Olivier Theyskens' first fall line for the label combined sheer fabrics and tailored coats.
The brand known for stylish, professional clothing put Theyskens in charge of artistic direction in October.
He paired long coats with short skirts and shorts. Tops and dresses were transparent. A sheer top peeked from under a black two-button suit with wide-legged pants.
Associated Press writers Caryn Rousseau and Jocelyn Noveck contributed to this report.

Hi Maanchi! I would like to request a recipe for 고추장 볶음. When I came to the US, my mom would occasionally send me home-made 고추장 볶음 from Korea. I was in a boarding school and had no access to Korean food, so that would be the only Korean food I would have for months :) Now I'm much older and I would like to make it for myself! Thanks!

#1 San Antonio Spurs vs #8 Utah Jazz
San Antonio Spurs: 50-16, 28-5 at home, 22-11 on the road
Utah Jazz: 36-30, 25-8 at home, 11-22 on the road
Check out all of our Playoff Previews
BBALLBREAKDOWN Chat with Andrew McNeill of 48 Minutes of Hell and Spencer Ryan Hall of Salt City Hoops
Playoff Series Outlook
The Spurs begin their championship run with a solid opponent in the Utah Jazz. Although the Spurs won the regular-season series 3-1, outside of 3-pointers, a lot of the statistics are pretty even. What's most notable is that the Spurs shoot and make more 3-pointers than the Jazz.
The Jazz can make things difficult if they can rotate on penetration by Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. With Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors the Jazz do have a size advantage over the Spurs. How their athletic & young wing players- Alec Burks, Jeremy Evans, Gordon Hayward and C.J. Miles- will play in the playoff is anybody's guess.
The Spurs' have their own set of formidable set of young players- Gary Neal, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, and Patrick Mills. The difference here is that the Spurs have three superstars, & a cohesive system, that allows complimentary players to contribute without asking them to do too much.
What sets the Spurs apart is their ability to dictate style of play especially when facing more athletically gifted opponents. Given their talent, experience and 3-point shooting, the Spurs have what it takes to handle an interesting Jazz team.

|Primary Completion Date:
|November 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), Virtual Histology (VH) or some combination of these three procedures
Procedure: FFR, IVUS, VH, or combination of the three
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), Virtual Histology (VH) or some combination of these three procedures will be completed during the cardiac catheterization procedure.
Detailed Description:
Invasive X-ray coronary angiography remains the "reference standard" for the evaluation of coronary artery stenoses. Recently, coronary artery computed tomography angiography (CorCTA) has been introduced as a non-invasive method for the evaluation of coronary artery stenoses and has been shown to be highly accurate in stenosis detection when compared to invasive X-ray angiography. While invasive X-ray angiography and CorCTA evaluate morphological features of coronary arterial plaques, fractional flow reserve is an invasive measure of the hemodynamic significance of a stenosis obtained in the catheterization laboratory by measuring changes in intracoronary arterial pressure before and after maximal vasodilation induced by intracoronary adenosine. An FFR value less than 0.75 has been shown to predict ischemia in vascular beds distal to the stenosis by radionuclide perfusion modalities and has been shown to be associated with worse outcomes. Therefore, FFR is considered to be an invasive hemodynamic "reference standard" for the evaluation of the hemodynamic significance of coronary arterial stenoses. While intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can provide additional morphological information in intermediate stenoses, it can not provide further functional information and cannot be used in more significant stenoses as the IVUS probe cannot be advanced through stenotic lesions.
We are currently conducting investigation in the validation of CorCTA against FFR in intermediate coronary artery stenoses (40-70%) (see below under "Preliminary Data"). However, CorCTA has not been validated against invasive hemodynamic measurements of fractional flow reserve in patients with stenoses >70% by invasive X-ray angiography. We hypothesize that CorCTA-derived measurements are accurate in the diagnosis of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenoses, using FFR as the reference standard in patients with coronary artery stenoses>70%.

Comments about Da Vinci Brushes Da Vinci Junior Synthetic Brushes:
This set of 6 Junior Da Vinci brushes is really the best set of Da Vinci brushes you can get without getting crazy expensive. It is FAR better quality than that of the college and made for school sets. Honestly, the website design is terrible and it's hard to tell all that blick offers. Looking back I might have splurged for the Top Acryl Sets had I been able to find them under the Top Acryl heading.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Applicants must be:
- Aged 18 years or older from the application date
- In permanent UK residence for a minimum of three years
- Fulfil at least one of the following employment criteria:
- In regular, permanent employment.
- Retired from regular employment - With a minimum age of 50.
- Not working through disability.
- Self-employed.
Note: All applicants will be subject to a credit reference check by the lender.
Credit is subject to application and status. Warehouse Express Ltd trading as Wex Photographic act as credit broker and not the lender. Barclays Partner Finance act as the lender.
Can I repay early? If so how?
No repayments are scheduled in the initial six-month deferral period. However, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, but a £29.00 early-settlement will be incurred. Such repayments may be made to Barclays Partner Finance by cheque, debit card or standing order. Unfortunately it is not possible to set up a direct debit within the deferral period. Further information on how to make such repayments will be set out in the loan agreement pack provided by Barclays Partner Finance.
What happens if I don't repay within the first six months (deferral period)?
Following the six month deferral period, Barclays Partner Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 19.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Late payment penalties and early repayment charges will apply from this point. Barclays Partner Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six month deferral period is due to elapse. Note: If you chose to spread the cost and pay monthly, interest is charged from the start of the loan, not from the start of the repayment period.
What will I receive from the finance provider (lender)?
Barclays Partner Finance will send a loan agreement pack approximately four weeks after delivery of the goods, confirming that the account has been activated and, from this point, it is possible to make repayments against the loan.
