Fallen British model Paula Hamilton has been banned from the road following a car crash which knocked out her front teeth.
The 51 year old, who starred in Take That's How Deep is Your Love video in 1996 and worked as a judge on Tv talent show Britain's Next Top Model, appeared at Aylesbury Magistrates' Court in Buckinghamshire, England on Wednesday (28Nov12) and pleaded guilty to a drink-driving charge.
The charge stems from an incident in September (12) when Hamilton, who has battled cocaine and alcohol addictions, crashed her car into a neighbour's conservatory in the middle of the night. She was later found by a police dog tracker team collapsed in a nearby alleyway.
The accident knocked out her front teeth and she subsequently underwent extensive dental work to repair the damage.
During the hearing, Hamilton was banned from driving for 14 months and ordered to pay a $256 (£160) fine as well as court costs.
However, magistrate Philip Dobson ruled the ban will be reduced by three months if she agrees to take part in a drink-driver rehabilitation course.

German luxury carmaker BMW said it sold 51.3 per cent more cars in mainland China in 2006 compared with a year earlier.
Total sales came to 36,357 cars, up from 24,025 in 2005, it said in a statement. Sales of BMW brands rose 49.6 percent to 35,300 units, with Minis up 145.8 percent to 1,057 units.
In the Greater China area including Taiwan and Hong Kong, BMW moved 44,719 vehicles last year, up 35.4 percent from 2005.
Many other foreign automakers also reported strong China sales last year as they rolled out new models to attract buyers.
Ford, a relative latecomer to the world's second- largest auto market, saw its sales surge 86.6 percent to 166,722 vehicles. Volkswagen sold 711,298 vehicles, up 24.3 percent, and General Motors was up 31.8 percent to 876,747.
BMW, the world's largest premium car maker, has teamed up with Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd. to produce the BMW 3 Series and 5 Series in a venture with an annual capacity of 30,000 cars in China's northern city of Shenyang.
The industry expects the venture to expand because it is already operating near full capacity, but BMW has not revealed plans for it.

The election is getting closer. Many people were calling this the most important election in decades. But as the date nears, I find that Kerry is standing for less and less. Bush certainly has all the advantage. And sadly, I think the Democrats really just gave up on this race a long time ago when they did not give the ticket to a better person -- I still think that Clark had the upper hand. Unless something crazy happens, I really think that Bush will just win again. In fact, I don't think that it'll be as close as last time. Gore at least had some of the Clinton momentum behind him. Kerry's opinions on issues is not very strong. He can't even tell us what he really thinks about the war. I know he's trying to appeal to more people by staying neutral. But that's his biggest problem. As much I don't like Bush and his foreign policy, I certainly will not be happy voting for Kerry. I'm going to wait until 5pm in November. If the race is not close, I'll vote for Nader. At least he stands for something. And he's a smart guy. I doubt that this election is going to have a bigger turn out than usual. You really think that everyone is going to get out and vote after the fiasco of what happened in 2000. That's really sad. I think there should be a tax penalty or something for those who don't vote. It's so sad that people don't exercise the right that many people in history died for.

I just moved to Seattle after 7 years of living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I grew up in a lot of cities and countries in my life. Therefore, my stay in the Bay Area was my longest stay in any place in the world. I really enjoyed the ethnic/cultural diversity of the Bay Area and its unique juxtaposition of the beautiful California nature and the fast-paced Silicon Valley life; the great ethnic food, in particular amazing Mexican food, Alfajores, and Soltani's at Maykadeh, were simply amazing artifacts of being in the Bay Area. Though I felt more ties with Cornell as my true Alma Mater when attending Stanford (mainly because undergrad years are a lot more fun), over these seven years I slowly became more attached to Stanford because I was a lot closer to Stanford alumni since I left college. I'm surprised to find that I miss the Bay Area so much despite the fact that I'm also familiar with this area and have a good circle of friends here. Don't get me wrong. Seattle is a nice place and certainly much more in tune with my style than the East Coast or even Southern California.
I'm really interested to find out more about the differences and similarities between the tech culture here, which is heavily influenced by Microsoft, and the Valley. I'll write a few posts about that later. But for now, I'm happy to have survived the move.

How does Keep Austin Fed work?
Our donors keep our volunteers busy by donating tons of food we transport to KAF recipients. There is no cost to donors or KAF recipients – we provide equipment, training, and support while volunteers donate their time and use their own vehicles. It's a lot of work, but it's incredibly rewarding. We keep good food out of the landfill, and make sure we get healthy meals to our neighbors in need.
We specialize in "just-in-time" surplus food pickup and delivery, and most of our donors give us prepared food — cooked meals, salads, sandwiches, etc., which have extremely short shelf lives; the food can be either hot or cold. For that reason, a quick response time and safe food handling is critical. That's why we require volunteers have a food handler's permit.
Some donors offer whole foods, such as crates of fresh produce, frozen uncooked meat, and bulk bagged salads. Others give us nonperishable foods. Still others donate a mix of all the above. Our volunteers also occasionally handle other items like health care products.
Donations must be in unopened packages or must not have been previously served. For catered events, we do not accept food in which guests served themselves and we require donated food be kept at the proper temperature. We also do not accept home cooked meals or food that has been stored at a residence.
What about liability?
State and federal legislation protects donors from liability when donating apparently wholesome food as long as safe food handling practices are observed. Read more about food donation laws on our website. The same thing applies to our volunteers. Our recipients are required to screen the food they receive before passing it on to their clients.
How do I donate food?
Food donation works two ways: scheduled and on-call donations.
With scheduled donations, a donor would be put into our schedule on a regular interval. Some of our donors require daily pickups, while others only donate once or twice a month. We'll do whatever makes sense. The advantage of scheduled donations is that we can better plan for coverage and help our recipients better manage their food supply.
Some donors prefer on-call donations in which they simple let us know when they have food to donate. The advantage here is that it gives donors more flexibility. That works great for catered events or stores with lower volume surplus. Your staff would simply call the KAF Hotline at 512-831-3654 and choose option 1. If an operator doesn't answer, simply leave a message with the details (type of food, quantity of food, pickup window, etc.). Another option is to fill out our online food donation form. Either way, we'll get a volunteer out as soon as possible. For on-call donations, we often have someone on site in about an hour, but occasionally a volunteer isn't available until the following day. For that reason, it's important to give us as much time as possible.
Who gets the food?
We choose where to deliver the food based on proximity to your location, recipient need, and, to a certain degree, volunteer preference. Scheduled donations tend to have the same drop off location while drop sites for on-call donations may vary. See a list of some KAF recipients.
What do I need to get started?
It takes an average of 2 weeks to bring a new donor on board. During that time, we figure out how best to handle the food, recruit volunteers, and find an appropriate drop-off site. We sometimes provide such equipment as insulated bags or plastic totes to make the donation easier and ensure safe food handling, but donors often provide containers, such as catering trays, plastic bags, or to-go boxes. We can support your staff's efforts to donate food with a KAF Cheat Sheet detailing what to do and who to call, if needed.
How do you recognize my donation?
We haven't worked out a strict plan for recognizing the donations online, but we try to regularly post about our awesome supporters. KAF currently doesn't provide any documentation to donors about the quantity of food donated. We rely instead on each store tracking their own donations. We can provide an in-kind donation letter at your request for your company's use during tax time.
We know your staff has put a lot of time and effort into preparing an amazing product and our goal is to honor that donation by sharing healthy nutrition with our neighbors in need. Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks so much for considering to help Keep Austin Fed.
I'm leaving town for a while and would like to donate the extra food in my fridge before I go. What do you suggest?
We recommend sharing it with your neighbors or friends. Health code regulations state food prepared or stored in a residence is not fit for donation because there is no regulation or paper trail for determining how the food was handled. It's one of the many ways surplus food falls through the cracks.

Temple of Vran is the second part of the Ket Trilogy from Incentive Software. Your mission in this part of the trilogy is to enter the temple and once there to put an end to all of its evil occupants.
You start the adventure with a sword, some armour, a ring and, of course, Edgar, your friendly assassin bug, who can be trusted to sink his poison fangs into your neck should you decide to shirk your quest. This is a classic style text-only adventure with a large number of locations and many problems to solve which could take weeks to complete.
Your travels will take you across the plains of Ket, into the depths of the Wart's Lair and ever forward in time to the years 1940 and 2300 before returning for your final confrontation in the Temple of Vran.
There is a good number of useful (and not so useful) objects scattered around. Care must be taken not to waste useful objects or leave them in another time zone.
The locations are lucidly described and are consistent in creating an exciting and credible atmosphere. Input consists of Verb/Noun couplings which is adequate although limiting when communicating with other characters. The vocabulary is quite flexible but there are a few annoying omissions and the use of the verb 'examine' is confined to those occasions when you are actually carrying an object.
Combat is much more sophisticated than in most other adventures, giving your statistics for Prowess, Energy and Luck. Prowess is your skill in combat. Energy indicates your state of health and Luck your fortune in combat. The tussles take place in rounds in which either you or your opponent is hit. If you are struck you are given the option of running or continuing to fight. Running can often prove to be the most dangerous as you can be struck from behind. All this adds up to make a more interesting game charged with atmosphere.
One small bug I encountered occurred during one moment of gratuitous violence. I was involved in a fracas with a mouse in the same location as an elephant. To my horror the combat status appeared with the mouse having an energy of 20 compared to my meagre 10.
In the ensuing battle, which lasted nearly 20 rounds, I was knocked over and kicked several times and brought to the verge of death. Quite a blow to one's delusions of heroism.
Overall an excellent game which can be heartily recommended, particularly for novice adventurers as the problems are not too difficult.

Leah- yay, so happy for your good news!
And I have a distinct feeling I will absolutely be a tester!! I'm so emotional and of course hyper-acutely aware of every little twinge I feel or think I feel! When do you think is a plausible day to begin testing? I am trying to hold out for 5dpt... Also, I was sorry to hear bout your credit card fraud.
A similar thing happened to DH and I when we needed to charge for our IVF package and it was a hassle.
Kim- omg, 25 eggs!! That is wonderful! Fingers and toes crossed for many, many little embies to be waiting for you on Monday!
Aimee- I've been trying to cut back on caffeinated beverages as well (I am also a diet Pepsi lover). I recently started drinking Fruit Punch Gatorade which is good for a little flavor and I've been drinking lots of fruit juices too.
I hope you all enjoy the weekend! I am going to try to stay busy since two days in to my 2ww I'm already restless and anxious!

Oxidation is known commonly to enhance humic acid (HAs) contents of coal, but in China, most humic substances are used directly as soil conditioners or applied in combination with fertilizers without oxidation. Therefore, we investigated the impact of nitric acid (HNO3) oxidation on the characteristics of HAs derived from a Chinese lignite. The results showed that total HA content was increased by HNO 3 oxidation, thus consequently increasing its cation exchange capacity and moderate humification. Besides, HAs extracted from oxidized lignite were richer in oxygen-containing functional groups with smaller molecular size than natural lignite. Compared with natural lignite, retention capacities of nitrogen and potassium by oxidized lignite were significantly greater. However, phosphorus-retention capacity was decreased to near zero, which might enhance the availability of phosphorus in soil. In general, optimum HNO 3 oxidation had favorable effects on lignite and improved its characteristics for use as a soil conditioner. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

To evaluate the physiological importance of chloroplastic ascorbate peroxidase (CHLAPX) in the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging system of a euhalophyte, we cloned the CHLAPX of Suaeda salsa (SsCHLAPX) encoding stromal APX (sAPX) and thylakoid-bound APX. The stromal APX of S. salsa (Ss.sAPX) cDNA consists of 1726 nucleotides including an 1137-bp open reading frame (ORF) and encodes 378 amino acids. The thylakoid-bound APX of S. salsa (Ss.tAPX) cDNA consists of 1561 nucleotides, including a 1284-bp ORF, and encodes 427 amino acids. The N-terminal 378 amino acids of Ss.sAPX are identical with those of Ss.tAPX, whereas the C-terminal 49 amino acids differ. Arabidopsis thaliana lines overexpressing Ss.sAPX and Ss.tAPX were constructed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation methods. Under high light (1000 μmol m -2 s -1), malondialdehyde (MDA) content was lower in transgenic plants than in the wild type. Under high light, Fv/Fm and chlorophyll contents of both overexpressing lines and the wild type declined but were significantly higher in the overexpressing lines than in the wild type. The activities of APX (EC 220.127.116.11), catalase (CAT 220.127.116.11) and superoxide dismutase (SOD EC 188.8.131.52) were higher in the overexpressing lines than in the wild type. The transgenic plants showed increased tolerance to oxidative stress caused by high light. These results suggest that SsCHLAPX plays an important role in scavenging ROS in chloroplasts under stress conditions such as high light. © 2011 Physiologia Plantarum.

Food shortage is a prevalent threat to insect survival and successful reproduction in natural settings. An insect species invading new areas may have a high capacity to survive and adapt to starvation. To test these hypotheses, we assessed the survival time of Corythucha ciliata (Say), in a laboratory under two starvation conditions: complete starvation (no food supplied) and gradual starvation (food provided once and not replenished). Under complete starvation, survival of 3rd to 5th instar nymphs tended to decline steadily, whereas under gradual starvation this process was delayed in the initial stage. The average survival times increased as the instar increased under both conditions (14.0 h, 15.9 h and 24.4 h under complete starvation conditions; 27.8 h, 29.6 h and 33.6 h under gradual starvation conditions). The longest lived individual nymph survived for 49 hours. The results may partially explain the rapid global expansion of C. ciliata. © Entomológica Fennica. 15 February 2016.

Poplar (Populus spp.) is one of the most important economical tree species in temperate regions of the world. Easy propagation by cutting has made most of the selected genotypes of poplar available for intensive plantation with large genetic gains. Critical point for successful propagation of cutting is the development of roots. Thus, rooting context of the cutting appeared to be a pivotal scenario in poplar vegetative propagations. In this overview, we focus on the progress in defining the genetic, physical, chemical and environmental factors that influences the poplar cuttings to develop adventitious roots. These factors include genotype effect, physiological conditions of the stock plants, plant growth regulators, temperature, rooting substrates/media as major variables for the development of rooting events. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are important catalysts that regulate the functional properties of agricultural systems. However, there is little information on the effect of PGPR inoculation on the growth and nutrient accumulation of forest container seedlings. This study determined the effects of a growth medium inoculated with PGPR on the nutrient uptake, nutrient accumulation, and growth of Fraxinus americana container seedlings. PGPR inoculation with fertilizer increased the dry matter accumulation of the F. americana aerial parts with delayed seedling emergence time. Under fertilized conditions, the accumulation time of phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) in the F. americana aerial parts was 13 days longer due to PGPR inoculation. PGPR increased the maximum daily P and K accumulations in fertilized seedlings by 9.31 and 10.44 %, respectively, but had little impact on unfertilized ones. Regardless of fertilizer application, the root exudates, namely sugars, amino acids, and organic acids significantly increased because of PGPR inoculation. PGPR inoculation with fertilizer increased the root, shoot, and leaf yields by 19.65, 22.94, and 19.44 %, respectively, as well as the P and K contents by 8.33 and 10.60 %, respectively. Consequently, the N, P, and K uptakes increased by 19.85, 31.97, and 33.95 %, respectively. Hence, PGPR inoculation with fertilizer can be used as a bioenhancer for plant growth and nutrient uptake in forest container seedling nurseries. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

Insect movement behavior is highly important in entomological population ecology, behavioral ecology and conservation, and in invasion ecology. In this study, we used an exotic lace bug (Corythucha ciliata) as a model organism to address the hypothesis that an insect species invading a new area has a high host location ability and rapid mobility by which it can be successfully carried to a new habitat. To test this hypothesis, three movement parameters (speed, duration and distance) of C. ciliata were assessed using laboratory and field observations. We found that 5th-instar nymphs of C. ciliata could move as far as 750 cm throughout their lifespan and that they moved an average of 0.038 m/min during the first 15 minutes after release, which was significantly farther than that of other instars. Of the tested nymphs, 21.85% could locate their host trees; of adults released 20 m from hosts, 11% reached the host trees on the first day, with an average flight distance of 22.14 m and a maximum flight distance of 27 m. The results of this study partly explain the mechanism of rapid diffusion. These results are also important for predicting population spread, improving eradication surveys, and managing future introductions of C. ciliata. © 2016 Wu, Liu.

One of the proposed mechanisms through which plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) enhance plant growth is the production of plant growth regulators, especially cytokinin. However, little information is available regarding cytokinin-producing PGPR inoculation on growth and water stress consistence of forest container seedlings under drought condition. This study determined the effects of Bacillus subtilis on hormone concentration, drought resistance, and plant growth under water-stressed conditions. Although no significant difference was observed under well-watered conditions, leaves of inoculated Platycladus orientalis (oriental thuja) seedlings under drought stress had higher relative water content and leaf water potential compared with those of noninoculated ones. Regardless of water supply levels, the root exudates, namely sugars, amino acids and organic acids, significantly increased because of B. subtilis inoculation. Water stress reduced shoot cytokinins by 39.14 %. However, inoculation decreased this deficit to only 10.22 %. The elevated levels of cytokinins in P. orientalis shoot were associated with higher concentration of abscisic acid (ABA). Stomatal conductance was significantly increased by B. subtilis inoculation in well-watered seedlings. However, the promoting effect of cytokinins on stomatal conductance was hampered, possibly by the combined action of elevated cytokinins and ABA. B. subtilis inoculation increased the shoot dry weight of well-watered and drought seedlings by 34.85 and 19.23 %, as well as the root by 15.445 and 13.99 %, respectively. Consequently, the root/shoot ratio significantly decreased, indicative of the greater benefits of PGPR on shoot growth than root. Thus, inoculation of cytokinin-producing PGPR in container seedlings can alleviate the drought stress and interfere with the suppression of shoot growth, showing a real potential to perform as a drought stress inhibitor in arid environments. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Effects of four plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), namely Pseudomonas sp. YT3, Bacillus subtilis DZ1, B. cereus L90 and B. fusiformis L13 on the biological characteristics of walnut (Juglans regia) rhizosphere soil under drought stress were investigated. Results showed that drought stress had little effect on available nutrients of walnut rhizosphere soil, but significantly decreased the activity of organic carbon by 18.4% and increased the pH from 7.34 to 7.79. Under drought stress condition, the inoculation of Bacillus cereus L90 significantly increased high-labile organic carbon in walnut rhizosphere by 14.5% relative to the un-inoculated control, and decreased the pH to 7.41. Compared with the irrigated control, the total microbial populations, root exudates, microbial biomass carbon, and microbial biomass nitrogen in walnut rhizosphere soil were significantly decreased by 36.0%, 20.7%, 33.5% and 30.7%, respectively, because of drought stress. However, L90 inoculation decreased these deficits to 14.1%, 10.3%, 12.1% and 12.7%, respectively. Some terminal restriction fragments (T-RFs) disappeared under the drought condition and PGPR inoculation had great influence on T-RFs according to Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism profiles. The Margalef index and the Shannon index of walnut rhizosphere soil significantly decreased, but the Simpson index increased relative to the irrigated control. Compared with the un-inoculated control, the Margalef index significantly increased from 0.42 to 0.99, as well as the Shannon index increased from 0.52 to 0.98. However, the Simpson index decreased from 0.60 to 0.39. Inoculating YT3, DZ1 and L13 had weaker effects on the biological characteristics of walnut rhizosphere soil compared to inoculating L90, suggesting L90 inoculation could interfere with the suppression of drought stress to the biological characteristics of walnut rhizosphere soil.

The Ns genome of the genus Psathyrostachys possesses superior traits useful for wheat improvement. However, very little is known about the high molecular weight (HMW) subunits of glutenin encoded by the Ns genome. In this paper, we report the isolation of four alleles of HMW glutenin subunit gene from Psathyrostachys juncea. Sequence alignment data shows the four alleles have similar primary structure with those in wheat and other wheat-related grasses, with some unique modifications. All four sequences more closely resemble y-type, rather than x-type, glutenins. However, our results show three of the subunits (1Ns2-4) contain an extra glutamine residue in the N-terminal region not found on typical y-type subunits, as well as the x-type subunit specific sequence LAAQLPAMCRL. These three subunits likely represent an intermediate state in the divergence between x- and y-type subunits. Results also indicate that the Ns genome is more closely related to the St genome of Pseudoroegneria than any other Triticeae genomes. © 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Soil alkalinity shows significant constraints to crop productivity; however, much less attention has been paid to analyze the effect of soil alkalinity on plant growth and development. Shanrong No. 4 (SR4) is an alkalinity tolerant bread wheat cultivar selected from an asymmetric somatic hybridization between the bread wheat cultivar Jinan 177 (JN177) and tall wheatgrass (Thinopyrum ponticum), which is a suitable material for studying alkalinity tolerant associate genes.The growth of SR4 plant seedlings was less inhibited than that of JN177 when exposed to alkalinity stress conditions. The root cytosolic NaSR4 expresses a superior tolerance to alkaline stress conditions which is due to its strong absorbing ability for nutrient ions, a strong regulating ability for intracellular and rhizosphere pH and a more active ROS scavenging ability.

What Happens Now With LSU Running Back Derrius Guice?
With star running back Leonard Fournette returning to the field this week against Ole Miss, the LSU Tigers get back some much needed star power. This is a huge game for Ed Orgeron's team, and having their best player healthy and ready to go will hopefully go a long way in getting a win on Saturday.
Fournette is unquestionably the best back in all of college football. His size, speed, agility, and strength make him as close to unstoppable as one can be. The Tigers have struggled at times this season as he battled an ankle injury, but in recent weeks that has become less of an issue thanks to the emergence of Derrius Guice.
Guice is a sophomore running back out of Baton Rouge. After Les Miles was fired and Ed Orgeron took over as LSU's head coach, the team made a point to get him more involved in the offense with Fournette out.
His first real opportunity as the Tigers workhorse back came in Orgeron's first game as LSU welcomed Missouri to Death Valley. Guice did not disappoint, rushing for over 160 yards and scoring three touchdowns. He absolutely dominated a quality SEC front seven, showing us that this team can still win games without number seven.

- 10/17 – I Take It Back; Ed Orgeron Is The Favorite To Win The LSU Job
- 10/17 – The LSU Tigers Showed A Glaring Weakness Against Southern Miss
In this past Saturday's game against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles, Guice did not get off to nearly as hot of a start as he did against Missouri. The coaches did a poor job of putting the ball in his hands on a consistent basis, and the entire offense struggled throughout the first half.
But as the team emerged from the locker room to begin the second half of play, everything started to click. LSU received the opening kickoff to start the third quarter and before you knew it Derrius Guice had broken away for a long touchdown run. After a quick Southern Miss fumble, he was in for six again. He continued to run well for the rest of the half, once again showing the potential to be one of the best backs in the conference.
So, the question needs to be asked: What will the LSU Tigers do with Derrius Guice now that Leonard Fournette is back on the field?
Obviously, you aren't going to put Fournette on the sideline and continue to ride with Guice as your premiere running back. That just does not make any sense. But I think the notion of putting Leonard in full-go and reverting to the way carriers were split before the injury would also be an unwise decision.
If I were making the call, I would split the carries somewhere around 65-35. You want Fournette to touch the ball as much as possible, but with the way Derrius Guice has been running as of late, you have to get the ball in his hands a good number of times. That combined with Fournette's injury history and importance to this team down the stretch, and I think giving Guice a few of his carries is a good idea, at least for the first couple of weeks.
LSU will need Leonard Fournette healthy when they play teams like Alabama and Texas A&M, so if there is anyway to limit his carries just a bit, I think you have to do it. The drop-off from Fournette to Guice is not huge, so give the kid a few extra carries, and allow him to continue to make plays while preserving Fournette at the same time.

While Ricky Hatton is returning to the junior welterweight division, former two-time lightweight champ Jose Luis Castillo is officially moving up to junior welterweight on Saturday night's undercard at the Paris Las Vegas.
Hatton will face Juan Urango for a junior welterweight belt in the main event. Castillo of Mexico faces Herman Ngoudjo of Canada in a title elimination bout.
Although the Castillo-Ngoudjo winner becomes the mandatory challenger for titlist Junior Witter, if Castillo and Hatton each win, they have a contract in place to meet June 2 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on HBO.
Juan Urango-Ricky Hatton
A return to junior welterweight has Ricky Hatton back where he feels more comfortable, which could be a challenge for titlist Juan Urango, writes Dan Rafael.
• Story
Castillo, of course, will be fighting for the first time since he failed to make weight for a lightweight championship rubber match against rival Diego Corrales in June. Castillo weighed 139½ pounds at the weigh-in -- 4½ pounds over the limit -- and looked drained. The fight was ultimately canceled, and Castillo was fined $250,000 and suspended for the rest of the year by Nevada officials.
Now, he is back in a new weight class, and not doing much talking. He has been a non-entity in the promotion of the card, in part because he and his handlers are tired of talking about his weight.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, however, told ESPN.com that Castillo's weight was "pretty good."
Arum, who hired personal trainer Axel Murillo to be at Castillo's side, said Castillo arrived in Las Vegas on a private plane from Mexico on Tuesday night.
"He's not dehydrated or anything," Arum said. "Axel weighed him [Tuesday] night and he was 145 pounds. When he came to the workout [Wednesday] afternoon, he was down to 143. They're making him drink water, making him eat every meal, but cutting down on the food. It's a question of keeping the metabolism going so his body doesn't lock up like it did last time when he was cutting the last few pounds."
Arum said before the aborted Corrales fight that he was misled by some of Castillo's team about his weight. This time it's different, Arum said, because Murillo works for him and is being honest about Castillo's weight.
That's why Arum believes Castillo will make the 140-pound limit at Friday's weigh-in.
And if he doesn't?
"His career is over, and it should be over," Arum said. "There is not even an argument."
Dan Rafael is the boxing writer for ESPN.com.

I decided to minor in African American studies because I have always had a passion to learn more about the history that is directly linked to my ancestry. I am continuously impressed by the strength African Americans had during the time of enslavement and how determined they were not to allow their bonded past hold their future hostage. Therefore, I decided to minor in AFAM because my passion to learn about black history exceeded the 28 days society and school districts have deemed appropriate to show homage to them.

I've booked into Gp for a health screen. What does it entail, what would she be looking for or are there specific tests/things that I should request? Never had a health screen before, am 36, have 3 children
Thanks girls, up to date re dental. Not had eye test since I got laser ed a few years ago, bar obvious follow up chks
I just had a full blood count including haemochromatosis screening and thyroid and blood pressure check. It's equally important to have a proper dental check up and eye test including glaucoma test.
Secretary told me to fast from midnight and my appt is 10 am
Requested it myself. Heard something on radio that we should all get checked out every now and again, especially if healthy cos have no reason to see doc if not ever sick and a screen might pick up something that you wouldn't know you had. I never go to Gp apart from pregnancy and even for last baby, didn't go to Gp at all as was with obgyn exclusively

A local woman now has the world at her fingertips.
A few months ago, Heather Burton completed a survey for Connect Ohio on computer usage and needs by Ohio residents. Out of 7,000 people, Connect Ohio chose twelve to receive a new computer and Heather Burton was one of them.
"Well she was just delighted, in fact she was using one of the public computers in the library when she found out. So she is very excited and we hope she will continue to visit the library, but she has the ability now to use her own computer," says Blair Tom with the Muskingum County Library System.
It is Burton's first computer. Blair Tom says the Muskingum County Library System had more than 45,000 computer sessions last year and there is a need throughout our area and Ohio for computers. He hopes the information from the survey will help bring dollars to our area to spend on computers.
"The important thing as well is they now have data to help drive planning and dollars to expanding access to the Internet and computers," says Tom.
The Muskingum County Library System offers free computer usage and classes at all six locations.

text: A small tidbit of news concerning the proposed HBO series adapting A Song of Ice and Fire comes from this interview with David Benioff at Words to Mouth. At the very end, Benioff is asked by the interviewer what's coming up next for him. He notes a script of his being filmed, the forthcoming Wolverine, and then mentions that he's, "the showrunner for an HBO series adapting George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels." While this doesn't mean anything new, as such, it certainly shows that the proposed series is alive and well, in line with GRRM's most recent remarks and contrary to some pernicious rumors coming from certain corners.

Good Girl Bad Girl Slot
Good Girl Bad Girl Slot
Good Girl Bad Girl is the new cinematic 3D Slots3 release by BetSoft Gaming featuring 5 reels and up to 30-paylines. The maximum win of the game is over 1 million credits! Moreover, Good Girl Bad Girl comes with double jackpots and offers enough control to choose the variance yourself. This is a good move as their games tend to be very low variance and this is not what some players want. By playing either the devil side, the angel side or both you enable three different modes and ultimately different chances of winning.
Features and Bets
As always, the visual and thematic side of the game is second to none and will easily imbue you into another world of HD animations and special effects. Instead of the spin/ stop button the bottom middle part of the game is populated with a new feature/ selector. If you choose one of the extremes – the good girl/ the left side or the bad girl/ the right side – you'll be playing on 15 pay-lines. By setting the cursor in the middle, between both of them, you'll active all 30 of them. However, you have to pay double the normal amount too.
The coin values start from 0.02 and can be turned up to the maximum of 1 unit. By setting the bets per line to an equally high level you'll be betting 150 credits per spin, which is also the highest you can get. If you're not happy with any of the wins use the double up feature to gamble it further with 50/50 chance of getting double that.
Symbols and Bonuses
The Good Girl mode pays from left to right and triggers smaller wins, whereas The Bad Girl mode pays right to left and has slightly higher wins. The mix of both pays both ways. Depending on the mode you choose you get either the Pitchfork or the Halo wild. The former can give you between 1-4 and the latter from 1 to 2 the multiplier amount.
On top of that the game comes with a Click Me Feature. Again, depending on the option of the game that you choose the gift boxes that you have to open contain low or high prizes and ultimately the risk to win them varies too.
The other bonus is called Money Wheel Bonus. By spinning it you can win one of the two progressive jackpots, free spins, credits or nothing at all. What is more, the free spins can be re-triggered creating even more opportunities to squeeze the maximum out of your gameplay.
Good Girl Bad Girl is a 5-reel, 30 payline, Betsoft Gaming 3D video slot machine. Good Girl Bad Girl also offers free practice, a wild symbol, multiplier, bonus game and more.

On January 14, 2016, the officers of the Legislature presented CS/CS/SB 552 to Governor Scott for signature. More famously known as the "Water Bill," this 134-page page marvel of compromise proves that it is still possible to pass controversial legislation in Florida today, even if it takes two years to do so. And, indeed, there is something in the law of interest to every homeowner, land developer, institutional user, farmer, utility, governmental unit and environmentalist, including plans for the allocation of limited water resources, development of new water projects, protection of Florida springs and regulation of discharges to impaired waters.
To understand the Water Bill, one needs to know the origin of much of it. Simply put, significant portions of Florida do not have enough water reserves from traditional groundwater sources to sustain continued growth. This dilemma has sparked the need to promote or even require development of alternative water supplies and to adopt additional limitations on withdrawals from traditional groundwater sources. Alternative water supplies include innovative solutions that do not involve withdrawal of water from traditional groundwater sources. Such solutions include implementation of graywater, stormwater and brackish water projects to augment existing sources.
In addition to the threat of diminishing water supplies, continued concern for Florida's premier springs brought about the creation of a new regulatory category to afford them special protection, together with associated development limitations and remediation plans. Additional protections have also been afforded to help remediate impaired water bodies throughout the state, but particularly the ecosystems in south Florida.
Finally, the Bill addresses the multiple existing programs for protection of the South Florida natural environment, some quite outdated, to clarify who's on first and what's on second by creating lead agency responsibility for various regulatory programs and identifying Basin Management Action Plans (BMAPs) as the definitive tool for problem solving and regulation to protect/restore impaired waters.
Key Elements
Set forth below is a compilation of the key provisions of the Bill:
Effective Date
- If signed by the governor (and there is every indication that he will), the law will take effect July 1, 2016.
Springs Protection and Minimum Flows and Minimum Water Levels for Florida Waters
- A new protected class of waters is created: the Outstanding Florida Spring (OFS). OFSs include all historic first magnitude springs and their associated spring runs and the following: De Leon, Peacock, Poe, Rock, Wekiwa and Gemini Springs, and their spring runs. If a minimum flow or minimum water level (MFL) has not been adopted for an OFS by July 2017 (2026 in Northwest Florida), emergency rulemaking will be used to adopt this protection. The MFL is the limit at which further withdrawals would be significantly harmful to the water resources or ecology of the area. Recovery and prevention strategies will also be adopted for any OFS not meeting the adopted MFL. (For those familiar with the import of this nuance: rules adopted for this purpose are not subject to the requirement that rules be ratified by the Legislature if they do not pass the adverse impact/regulatory costs criteria of the Administrative Procedures Act.)
- The Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) is made responsible for designating priority focus areas (areas where the aquifer is generally most vulnerable to pollutant inputs) for each OFS. Priority focus areas set the stage for prohibitions and protections under the new law.
- Maintaining or restoring MFLs is a concern for all waters, not just the OFSs. In fact, the Bill provides that whenever an MFL is adopted or revised for any water body that falls below or is projected to fall below the MFL within 20 years, a recovery and prevention strategy (development of alternative water supplies or other actions) will have to be developed simultaneously.
- By July 1, 2016, FDEP must begin assessment of every OFS for which an impairment determination has not yet been made under existing law. Concurrent with adoption of a total maximum daily (pollutant) load (TMDL) for the OFS, a BMAP shall be developed with a nutrient TMDL. (A TMDL is the load that a water body can assimilate without violation of water quality standards.) Where nitrogen pollution from onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems constitutes at least 20% of the nonpoint source nitrogen pollution or where remediation is necessary to achieve the TMDL, the BMAPs will include onsite sewage treatment and disposal system remediation plans. Local governments will be required to adopt a model fertilizer use ordinance unless one is already in place.
- OFS BMAPs must include identification of each point source (discrete conveyance such as a pipe) or category of nonpoint sources (such as stormwater), including urban and sports turf and agricultural fertilizers, onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems (such as septic tanks), sewage treatment plants, animal wastes and stormwater facilities. An estimated allocation of pollutant load must be provided for each point source or category of nonpoint sources with target dates for achieving the TMDL. While this may sound like everyone will have a right to continue to pollute as previously authorized, there is no guarantee that the allocation will not result in a reduction of allowed discharge. In fact, the latter is most likely the case where an OFS is presently impaired by nutrient pollution. It is recognized in the Bill that onsite sewage treatment systems may need to be corrected or connected to central sewage systems in priority focus areas. Subject to available funding, the cost may be provided.
- Activities prohibited within a priority focus area are: New domestic wastewater facilities with permitted capacities above 100,000 gallons per day (unless they meet advanced waste treatment standards); new onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems on lots of less than 1 acre, if in conflict with a remediation plan; new hazardous waste facilities; land application of domestic wastewater biosolids not in accordance with an FDEP approved plan; new agriculture operations that do not implement best management practices (BMPs) or other necessary measures.
Pilot Water Projects
- Development of alternative water supplies for water-starved areas is encouraged through provision for pilot projects to be undertaken by the three largest water management districts: St. Johns, South Florida (SFWMD) and Southwest Florida. However, the Districts are precluded from distributing or selling water to the project participants. This assures those presently in the business of distributing or selling water that the districts will not become their competitors and encourages a partnering of those users and self-suppliers with the districts in these projects.
Central Florida Water Initiative
- The ongoing collaborative work of stakeholders and regulating agencies known as the Central Florida Water Initiative (CFWI) is recognized and affirmed. The CFWI is directed to adopt a single, multidistrict regional water supply plan, including needed recovery or prevention strategies and a list of water supply development or resource projects; provide a single hydrologic planning model; and develop uniform rules (that define harm, provide a consistent process for permit review, establish conservation goals for consumptive use permits and provide conservation goals consistent with the regional water supply plan, including a goal for residential per capita water use for each consumptive use permit). Rulemaking must be initiated by the end of this year. However, as an aside, much work has already been done in these topic areas, including adoption of the regional water supply plan, and activity will continue to surge forward in the coming months.
Regulation of Water Supply
- Any new consumptive use permit or renewal that authorizes withdrawals of 100,000 gallons or more per day from a well with a diameter of 8 or more inches will be monitored for water usage.
- Preferred water supply sources may be identified for users for whom access to new water supplies is not technically or financially feasible.
- It is not inconceivable that existing permits will be reassessed in the future for "over-allocation." In such case, the legislation states that no allocation will be modified where water use was reduced due to implementation of water conservation measures. Specific examples are provided for agricultural uses.
- Water farming (water storage or water recharge for pay) is encouraged by affording priority consideration to public-private partnerships that store or treat water on private lands to improve water quality and assist with water supply or minimize nutrient loads and maximize conservation. Water farming became a useful tool when it was recognized that Florida discharges much of its freshwater to the ocean. This tool became particularly important as waters from the Kissimmee River and Lake Okeechobee were discharged to the ocean through the St. Lucie Estuary and concerns were raised that these discharges could cause imbalances to salinity of estuarine waters.
South Florida Environmental Programs
- Various existing environmental programs are brought under the umbrella of the Lake Okeechobee Watershed Protection Program and the Lake Okeechobee BMAP is identified as the program element designed to achieve the TMDL for the Lake. The Lake Okeechobee Basin encompasses not just the areas around the lake but travels up the Kissimmee River as well. The legislation requires development of milestones toward achieving the TMDL for the lake. Because the Bill identifies the BMAP as the means of achieving reductions in nutrient pollution, it requires SFWMD to amend the outdated Chapter 40E-61, F. A. C., to make it consistent with the Water Bill. The Rule will now provide for a monitoring program for those who opt to show compliance through monitoring instead of implementation of BMPs.
- Lead agencies are designated as follows for the implementation of the Lake Okeechobee programs: SFWMD – hydrologic improvements; Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services – agricultural practices; and FDEP – water quality protection.
- In addition to regional projects, much of the implementation of the BMAP will come from implementation of BMPs, both for agricultural and non-agricultural sources of stormwater runoff. Rulemaking can be expected for the adoption of non-agricultural, non-point source BMPs, as there has already been rulemaking to adopt agricultural BMPs. The legislation provides that where water quality problems are detected for nonagricultural nonpoint sources despite the appropriate implementation of adopted BMPs, FDEP and the District shall institute a reevaluation of practices and the rules will be revised to require implementation of the modified practices within a reasonable time period. Might this involve retrofitting of existing urban stormwater systems? Stay tuned.
- Programs similar to the Lake Okeechobee plans are provided for the Caloosahatchee River Watershed and the St. Lucie River Watershed. Existing programs are realigned to make them consistent with their corresponding BMAPs.
- In a tidbit for the regulated community, the existing doubling up of permitting for the outfalls structures around Lake Okeechobee was dropped by FDEP. SFWMD will continue to obtain a permit from FDEP for its own outfalls.
Provision for enforcement and verification of BMAPs and management strategies was provided in a new section providing that BMAPs are enforceable pursuant to DEP's currently existing suite of enforcement options from warning notices to criminal fines.
Other BMAP Changes
- Each new or revised BMAP in the state will now include appropriate management strategies available through existing water quality protection programs to achieve the TMDL, which may provide for phased implementation; a description of BMPs adopted by rule; a list of projects in priority ranking with cost estimates and completion dates; the source and amount of financial assistance; and the estimated load reduction from each project.
Additional Items of Interest
- A database of conservation lands suitable for public access and recreation will be made available electronically to the public.
- Self-suppliers (those who produce their own water) will join local governments, government-owned and privately owned utilities as entities qualifying for technical assistance with water resource development.
- The water management district annual reports to the legislature will include specifics about water quality and water quantity projects intended to implement BMAPs with priority rankings, cost, source, benefit and level of impairment of the water body involved.
- Water management districts are directed to promote expanded cost-share criteria for additional conservation practices, such as soil and moisture sensors and other irrigation improvements, water-saving equipment, water-saving household fixtures and software technologies that can achieve verifiable water conservation.
- FDEP must adopt a water quality classification to protect surface waters used for treated potable water supply. The criteria will be the same as those presently in use for Class III waters.
- FDEP must establish standards for the collection and analysis of water quantity, water quality and related data.
