Beijing, China (Sports Network) - United States freestyle wrester Henry Cejudo was a surprise gold medal winner in the men's 55-kilogram weight class on Tuesday at the Beijing Olympics.
Cejudo defeated Japan's Tomohiro Matsunaga in the final to claim the U.S.'s third wrestling medal here following bronze-medal wins by Adam Wheeler in the men's Greco-Roman 96 kg class and Randi Miller in the women's freestyle 63 kg class.
Russia's Besik Kudukhov and Bulgaria's Radoslav Velikov shared the bronze medal.
Like he has his whole life, Cejudo battled adversity on Tuesday. He fell behind in each of his first three matches, losing the first period in all three, before using technique and his excellent conditioning to come back.
But in the final against reigning Asian champion Matsunaga, the 22-year-old Cejudo, a first-generation American with Mexican-born parents, swept his way to the gold medal by winning both periods.
"It's all rolling into one," said coach Terry Brands. "He's so physical, trains so hard, and is beginning to wrestle with his head. He'll be around in the years to come."
With his background, it's a wonder he's here at all.
When his father was in and out of jail during his childhood, Cejudo's mother moved the family away and was forced to work several jobs to support them by herself.
In 2005, Cejudo ended up being the first high school athlete to win a senior national championship since USA Wrestling became the sport's governing body in 1983.
"He's done an unbelievable job of overcoming his background, not becoming a victim and making the most from the circumstances he's been given," said Brands. "Everything he's accomplished, he's done for himself."
Cejudo, the three-time reigning Pan American champion in the weight class, was competing in his first Olympics. He finished 31st at the world championships last year.
Also on Tuesday, Mavlet Batirov of Russia defeated the Ukraine's Vasyl Fedoryshyn to win gold in the men's freestyle 60 kg class. Fedoryshyn won the silver, while Iran's Seyedmorad Mohammadi and Japan's Kenichi Yumoto shared bronze.
American Mike Zadick was added to the 60 kg competition after USA Wrestling made a formal request upon hearing Bulgaria has withdrawn its athlete in that weight division due to an injury.
The 2006 world silver medalist, Zadick was eliminated with a loss in his first match by Fedoryshyn.

Crucial M500 drive significantly reduces SSD price per gigabyte
Summary: Get 960GB of solid state storage for "just" $599.99, significantly undercutting the $1-per-gigabyte threshold.
While we still don't have what you could really call a "bargain" solid-state drive that offers the capacity of a traditional hard drive for a similar price, Crucial has taken a, ahem, crucial step forward with its new M500 SSD line.
Though its smaller capacities hover around the $1 per gigabyte that we've come to expect in SSD pricing — the 120GB model coming in a little above ($130), the 240GB ($200), and the 480GB ($400) versions skirting just below — it's the 960GB flavor that is getting the attention. That's because its sticker price is $599.99, or about 60 cents per gigabyte.
No one interested in a cheap storage upgrade will be dropping $600 on an SSD, but enthusiasts with deeper pockets looking to combine solid-state performance with more capacity may jump on this drive. As you might expect, it won't necessarily provide the best performance via its 20nm MLC NAND flash, Marvell 88SS9187 controller, and customized firmware — for instance, AnandTech found it to be slower than Samsung's SSD 840 — but it gets points for power consumption and IO consistency.
We keep waiting for major price drops to really thrust solid state drives into the mainstream of the PC world (having already conquered the tablet market), and the 960GB M500 looks like it's one of those important progressions in that happening.
Is the per-gigabyte cost enticing enough for you to upgrade to Crucial's new drive? Let us know in the Talkback section below.

Topic Outline
Variations in the urine osmolality (Uosm) play a central role in the regulation of the plasma osmolality (Posm) and Na+ concentration. This response is mediated by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus that influence both thirst and the secretion of ADH. (See "Chapter 6B: Antidiuretic hormone and water balance".) After a water load, for example, there is a transient reduction in the Posm, leading to suppression of ADH release. This diminishes water reabsorption in the collecting tubules, resulting in the excretion of the excess water in a dilute urine. Water restriction, on the other hand, sequentially raises the Posm, ADH secretion, and renal water reabsorption, resulting in water retention and the excretion of a concentrated urine.
These relationships allow the Uosm to be helpful in the differential diagnosis of both hyponatremia and hypernatremia (see Chap. 23 and 24). Hyponatremia with hypoosmolality should virtually abolish ADH release. As a result, a maximally dilute urine should be excreted, with the Uosm falling below 100 mosmol/kg. If this is found, then the hyponatremia is probably due to excess water intake at a rate that exceeds normal excretory capacity (a rare disorder called primary polydipsia). Much more commonly, the Uosm is inappropriately high and the hyponatremia results from an inability of the kidneys to excrete water normally. Lack of suppression of ADH release, due to volume depletion or the syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion, is the most common cause of this problem. (See "Evaluation of adults with hyponatremia".)
In contrast, hypernatremia should stimulate ADH secretion, and the Uosm should exceed 600 to 800 mosmol/kg. If a concentrated urine is found, then extrarenal water loss (from the respiratory tract or skin) or the administration of Na+ in excess of water is responsible for the elevation in the plasma Na+ concentration. On the other hand, a Uosm below that of the plasma indicates primary renal water loss due to ADH lack or resistance. (See "Etiology and evaluation of hypernatremia".)
The Uosm (in addition to the FENa) also may be helpful in distinguishing volume depletion from postischemic acute tubular necrosis as the cause of acute renal failure. ADH levels tend to be elevated in both disorders, because hypovolemia is a potent stimulus to the release of ADH (see page 000). However, tubular dysfunction in acute tubular necrosis impairs the response to ADH, leading to the excretion of urine with an osmolality that is generally less than 400 mosmol/kg [1,2]. In comparison, the Uosm may exceed 500 mosmol/kg with hypovolemia alone if there is no underlying renal disease. Thus, a high Uosm essentially excludes the diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis. The finding of an isosmotic urine, however, is less useful diagnostically. It is consistent with acute tubular necrosis but does not rule out volume depletion, since there may be a concomitant impairment in concentrating ability, a common finding in the elderly or in patients with severe reductions in glomerular filtration rate * [3,4]*. (See "Etiology and diagnosis of prerenal disease and acute tubular necrosis in acute kidney injury (acute renal failure)".)
Urine specific gravity — The solute concentration of the urine (or other solution) also can be estimated by measuring its specific gravity, which is defined as the weight of the solution compared with that of an equal volume of distilled water. Plasma is approximately 0.8 to 1.0 percent heavier than water and therefore has a specific gravity of 1.008 to 1.010. Specific gravity is proportional to the weight, as well as the number, of particles in the solution, whereas osmolality is proportional only to the number of particles in solution. Thus, the relationship of specific gravity to osmolality is dependent upon the molecular weights of the solutes.

Help Make Dismal Rental Kitchen Happy and Light?
Good Questions
Q: Help! My fiance and I are moving in together to a great 1 bedroom apartment with an office space... and this dark, dismal kitchen. Dark cabinets, dark countertops, and bars on windows... it's got a bit of a prison-like ambiance…
I can't paint or replace the cabinets since it's a rental. I've been pondering removing doors, contact paper and stick-on tiles. I need temporary solutions to make this kitchen a happy and light place.

light contact paper in the cabinet doors and something fun on the dishwasher.
get the curtain off the window to max out the light
narrow shelves next to the fridge
something great under the window or something that gives you more counter space
3M strips are a renter's best friend! I used them in the dorms to hang everything, and now they even make really heavy duty ones for hanging big hooks. I would put a large brightly colored picture on that wall next to the stove -- something you love so you won't even notice the rest of the kitchen :) If the bars on the window bug you, colored sheers would hide while allowing light. Luckily, appliances come in lots of awesome colors! Good luck!
A small change of decor will make that kitchen look fine. Perhaps something on the walls other than a dustpan would be a start! I would not put contact paper on the cabinets -- they are not THAT bad-looking and covering them up will just look like covering them up. The sheer curtains are a brilliant idea -- I've seen some in sari fabric that were really lovely. How about a wall decal above the sink and a print or group of prints to replace the dustpan. Maybe you can also give yourself more counter space with a kitchen cart or counter-height table under that line of wall cabinets. You can bring in color with a rug, too.
There is lots of storage, so probably you won't need the counters all cluttered as they are in the pics. It will all look fine.
I moved into a house with a similarly bland and dreary kitchen. Here is what I did: painted the kitchen cabinets cream (better yet, mullioned glass doors on the cabinets would look even lighter, and are very pretty, assuming you have nothing to hide); painted the walls a light grey-blue for contrast; removed the depressing linoleum and sanded and varnished the wood floors; removed the hideous dark formica and installed white subway tile on the counters, as well as on the backsplash; removed the old dishwasher (I wash dishes by hand); and hung a massive fern in a pretty pale blue and cream pot over the window. A white porcelain sink would also lighten things up, and would be much prettier than the stainless sink.
Just to clarify my earlier post: the house I was in was also rented, and there were certain strictures that the landlady had in place (no painting, etc); but I went ahead with my improvements, and when she saw the results, she gave me one month's free rent. Much depends upon how reasonable your landlady/lord is.
Here are a few ideas:
Hang a light over the microwave (plug it in behind the fridge and disguise the cord with a fabric scrunchie cover or chain) in front of a large mirror to add light & reflection. Put it on a remote control switch to make turning it on/off easy. Maybe get a tension rod and hang a set of curtains up there too, might look cool to have long curtains framing your fridge.
If the insides of the cabinets are not too cluttered, remove the doors (store them to reinstall when you move) of a few of the cabinets and stock them lightly with dishes or kitchen items in baskets. Maybe the doors of those 3 large cabinets over the dishwasher could be removed.
Remove those 3 colored glasses on top of the cabinets and use the space to store large kitchen items (make some cute matching tea towel dust covers) or put some more interesting glassware up there if you have other glassware, decorative vases, bottles, or other containers. Or put a few matching baskets up there and use the area for storage for stuff you don't have to get to very often, like picnicware or extra bubblewrap or whatever. Or some large-scale framed fabric would bring color into that area (you could thrift frames & paint them or buy inexpensive matching ones and use cheap fat quarters from fabric stores). Or leave it completely empty up there.
Put colorful non-skid throw rugs on the floor. Washable ones are great since they might get dripped on in the kitchen.
Another large mirror over the sink; and/or attach a mirror to the backwall behind the stove using industrial velcro to secure it so you can clean it easily. Take down the hanging oven mitts & the dust pan and store them elsewhere.
If you cannot paint the wall where that dustpan is, mount a magnetic chalkboard or fabric-covered cork board or glass in a frame to write on with a dry-erase marker. Mount it using industrial velcro around the edges so it's not too wobbly to write on. Would be useful for an inspiring quote, a reminder, a menu, a grocery list, etc. Or I would put another mirror there (I'm a mirror junkie).
I agree with using sheer curtains; removing the cabinet doors (you may consider keeping the doors on the cabinets above the stove-if you cook at all then oil/grease and such will cover what is in those cabinets); mirror about the fridge; and remove oven mitts and place near or on over door. You can place shelves by the right of your window on the wall, then place your microwave on it along with anything on the counter tops that you can.If you do this try an consider placing things in woven baskets or regular canvas/plastic storage boxes so pantry items won't clutter visually. A small kitchen can become cluttered very quickly. This will give you back counter top space. Declutter your window sill. Use a planter or 3M hook under the top of your window frame in front of your curtains and suspend your plant there maybe. If you need more storage space you can easily place a shelf about the door frame. To add more light that you crave try this: place white rope or Christmas lights lining the top and under the bottom of your cabinets. They can remain unseen if you use 3m light clips or just use a staple gun to suspend the lights and attach the cord to the wall along the vertical lines of the wall. Try and use LED lights to reduce heat in the kitchen and also it will result with less $ on your electric bill. Any holes you create can be easily filled when you move with putty or even toothpaste. Also you can put battery spot lights inside your cabinets if you choose to take the doors off. Due to extra plugs needed, just use a splitter or a power strip(attach to wall under bottom of your upper cabinet- doing this with your appliance cords helps as well for conserving energy. A hall runner rug with no slip would be great (try one with horizontal strips to fool the eye of your kitchen being wider) and trying one that is washable would be a must since it will get dirty= try an outdoor/indoor rug for durability. A bright but not busy looking picture for the stove back splash is a great idea but remember how quickly it will get dirty. If you are low on storage space put 3m hooks on the side of the refrigerator, utilize that space if you have to. That keeps things off the floor and off the walls where you don't want it.
I hope these suggestions help you, I have been in apartments with smaller kitchens.
Since it's a rental, you obviously don't want to be putting things (aka money) in and up that you can't take with you when you move on. So for the cupboards, have you considered using wall decals on them? That's if (as someone else said) you can't open some of the cabinets. And if you can take a few cupboards doors off, then you can even put a bit of wall paper (colourful/patterned) on the back of the cupboard. You have tons of space above the fridge, and you can install colourful shelves (IKEA LACK shelves are cheap and look nice), and place some colourful bins to store extra appliances or pots and pans. On top of the cupboards there is ample opportunity to incorporate more colour. You can get (I'm not sure if you're a baker), colourful cake stands to put on top there, or any colourful storage bins that are streamlined and not clunky.
Can you paint the space? A light blue or a sea foam kind of colour? That too would go a long way of breathing some light into that area.
The cabinets are not that bad. Why not find some nice handles for them? You can take them when you go if you want to, and just use wood filler to the hid the holes. Some nice shears over the window would do a lot mask the bars on the windows. I would also loose the dust pan and oven mitts. That's not helping at all. You can get a utility shelf or some kind of a breakfast bar in that space near the dishwasher. How about potted herbs, for some greenery? This is not a terrible kitchen. It just needs some TLC.

Almost all the ballots are counted for in Tuesday's, March Primary Runoff Election. The numbers from Lubbock County are final.
Republicans elected Chris Winn as their new party chair with 63% of the vote. His opponent Bill Franklin had 37%.
"We put together a team, and I want to take that team and basically support the party across Lubbock and then take that party across Texas," Winn says.
He adds that the win is a great way to celebrate his birthday Tuesday. He officially takes the roll as party chair on April 29th.
And in the statewide election, with 59% of the vote it looks like Mark Thompson will be the Democratic nominee for Railroad Commissioner. Dale Henry has 41%. That's with about 99% of Texas reporting.
Thompson will face Republican incumbent Michael Williams in November.

Pros and cons of sharing a credit card
Whether you open a joint account with someone depends on lots of factors. Make sure the move is right for everyone.
Is adding another person, or "authorized user," to your credit card account a smart financial move? There are advantages and pitfalls – and not necessarily a right answer for every person faced with such a decision.
On one hand, it can help a young person or someone lacking credit to begin building a good credit profile. On the other hand, there's a chance the authorized user will not be as responsible as you'd like, and can ruin your personal credit profile.
Understanding how credit card issuers handle authorized user accounts can address these concerns. With the proper steps, you can protect your credit profile while also helping others improve their credit.
What shows up on an authorized user's credit report?
Many consumers know that adding another user will help build credit, but they don't know how it will appear on an authorized user's credit report.
Normally, a credit card company will report the total credit limit of the account on the authorized user's credit reports. However, these are not individual credit limits – they are shared between the primary cardholder and all authorized users – and the account balance is reported the same way for everyone on the account.
For example, if there is a $5,000 balance on an account with a $10,000 credit limit, this is what will show up on the credit reports for you and secondary users, regardless of who contributed to that balance.
Therefore, any late payments or defaults recorded on the credit card account will be reported for everyone and have a negative impact on their credit scores.
How spending limits make a big difference
Many credit card issuers allow primary cardholders to establish spending limits on each authorized user account. Taking the time to set such spending limits will go a long way to safeguarding your pristine credit history from being tarnished by an authorized user.
For example, if you put a $1,000 spending limit on an authorized user, his or her card can only charge up to that amount, even if the total credit limit on the account is $10,000. But the way the account balance is reported to credit bureaus will not change. It's possible a balance greater than the spending limit will be recorded on an authorized user's credit report.
In the event the primary cardholder racks up a high balance, the credit profile of authorized users will suffer as well because the credit limit is shared. So if your balance is $9,500 on a credit line of $10,000, the other user won't be able to spend more than $500, even if you set a spending limit of $1,000 for him or her.
With the ability to set spending limits, primary cardholders may be more comfortable with adding an authorized user. If anything, authorized users may be worried that primary cardholders will overspend and thereby reduce their limit.
The effects of closing an authorized user account
After the credit profile of an authorized user is capable of standing on its own, it may be time to consider closing the authorized user account.
When the closure occurs, the account will be marked "paid as agreed," and no further data will be reported to credit bureaus. Note, however, that some banks may completely wipe out the account. In this case, it would be wise for authorized users to open their own credit card account before closing their authorized user account.
Unfortunately, the former authorized user will experience a dip in his or her credit scores because they've lost access to that old credit line, which is factored into the credit score formula.
More from U.S. News & World Report:
Some people are so ingnorant. I made both my kids AU on a card when they started driving. I gave it to them for gas (rebates!!) and emergencies, along with an AAA card. Even if they had gone crazy it had a very low CL and wouldn't have ruined me. I paid it off every month and they were both able to get their own CC's later as they had "excellent credit" even though it was MY credit :). That account is long gone now.
This is how people historically have established credit and it's very appropriate for non idiots.

First Japanese KC-767 Tanker Arrives
The first of four Boeing 767s destined for the Japan Tanker Program arrived at the modification center in Wichita, Kansas, last week for conversion into a KC-767 aerial refueler. The Japan defense agency ordered the tanker for the Japan air self defense force in 2001 after a competition between the KC-767 and the Airbus A310. Boeing plans to deliver the first Japanese KC-767 in December 2006.
Boeing will outfit Japan's tankers with an air refueling boom and a remote aerial refueling operator II system. The JDA also chose the convertible freighter configuration for its tanker, allowing flexibility to carry either cargo or passengers, while maintaining its primary role as an aerial tanker. The tanker will be powered by General Electric GECF6-80 turbofans.

Do not fly over people, especially crowds!

dangerous and careless. This doesn't do anything but bad for the "drone" world...
Not AGAIN? The path to hell is lined with good intentions!!!
TCIII ArduRover2 Developer
One of the main rules of the AMA don't fly over anybody's head, ever.
Unfortunately once you put cameras on multicopters, many new and even not so new users seem to forget or ignore this really important rule.
I think they have just decided this is a safe tool and it is important for my work, so those "rules" don't apply to me.
Of course, everything about these is experimental, they are very temperamental and about as safe as if you started your lawnmower, revved it up to full speed and launched it with a catapult into a crowd.
Used properly means used safely and used safely means never using in a situation where there is any possibility that you can't prevent it from hitting anybody.
And if the battery fails or any part breaks it is probably going to immediately fall out of the sky at high speed and maybe even not straight down.
And they break frequently because they are not fully developed tools yet.
Bottom line is, we in this hobby know that this is a gross abuse by the people who caused and allowed this to happen.
How do we let them know that?
This one's behavior is interesting. Many of these crashes involve some sort of tipping over and/or darting in some direction. This descended with a rather stable attitude.
I don't understand how people can get to the point of these situations. My heart pounds just from flying around my friends and family. This would give me a heart attack.
Wonder if it was low battery, as in he had it at full throttle just to keep it up, and the rapid fall was due to the drop off of voltage because the battery was low of juice AND/OR ESCs shut down. Every time I see these videos I'm more interested as to what went wrong, there's a lot of be learned.
I still don't know why no one has figured out how to have a reserve battery switchover.
It doesn't matter why it happened, flying over people is unsafe, period. Those who engage in it are actively hurting the rest of us, and for that selfish reason alone should be loudly and thoroughly denounced at every opportunity by each and every one of us, in the field or on line.
not defending the person who did this, but....
for every video of a drone crashing into a person, i'll show you 50 of a real aircraft crashing into people.
Rc model aircrafts belong to the model aircraft flying field and no where else. Nobody will fly his 700 Align fuel heli over a crowd. I wonder what comes next? Throwing >5Kg stones on people from >50m hight? Is this the beginning of some perverted splattersport?
@Toby, For now this might be true, but give it another couple of years and it won't be... which in itself is a very scary thought given that planes have been flying for decades, and multicopters only for a few years...
it's far too easy to be complacent when you're not in the vehicle yourself...
@jason - I don't want to be the pessimist here, but I don't think having a reserve is the answer, the person that is too dense to return to base on a low battery, is likely just as complacent and stands there going "it's ok, I've got a few more minutes on reserve"

Give More Credit to This Credit Card Company!
By Mihir Mehta - July 29, 2013 | Tickers: DFS, MA, V

CHICAGO | "It's tough being a kid today."
Joe Torre, executive vice president of baseball operations for Major League Baseball, expertly summed up the theme of the events around the annual Civil Rights Game Saturday at U.S. Cellular Field.
While the fight for civil rights in society with baseball playing a key role via Jackie Robinson and his successors was certainly remembered, past is truly prologue with this issue. The drop of participation of African Americans in baseball from 27 to 8 percent over the last 35 years has bigger societal ramifications.
That was the message Kenny Williams, now the Civil Rights festivities host White Sox executive vice president, drove home emphatically in a roundtable discussion Friday at the downtown Chicago Cultural Center. Williams was by far the star of the show.
"A lot of young men don't grow up in situations that give them hope," Williams told a packed auditorium that included Hall of Famers Henry Aaron and Frank Robinson.
Williams believes in making educational opportunities available to inner-city youth first and foremost, long before he cares whether they play baseball and can restore the African-American talent pipeline to the majors. The Sox sponsor the "ACE (Amateur City Elite) program that assists in securing college scholarships for inner-city baseball players.
Before people worry about kids' "extra-curricular activities," Williams said, they should be more concerned about the school dropout rate and incarceration for assorted crimes.
And if these complex problems are not tackled, "the game of baseball will be weaker...," added Thomas Tull, chairman and CEO of Legendary Entertainment, producer of the critically-acclaimed Jackie Robinson biopic "42."
Football and basketball have long drained away inner-city talent that once flowed heavily toward baseball.
"The glitz of other sports is what we're up against," Williams said.
He suggested major-league stadiums be used to host more youth tournaments "to get a taste of glitz…to see the dream."
Meanwhile, Williams added, "Let's identify the kid (not good enough play at a high level) who has a passion for the game" to push toward job opportunities in marketing, sales and scouting.
At a star-studded luncheon Saturday at the downtown Marriott, Aaron conducted an uncommon in-depth interview. Exactly 40 years ago in the summer of 1973, Aaron started his run at Babe Ruth's record of 715 homers, enduring torrents of hate mail and requiring FBI protection for his family. He prevailed over all.
"The only thing I can tell (youths) is that in spite of all of my success, some of them never probably will play baseball," Aaron said. "We need to think about baseball second, and education first. That's what I would tell them."
Still another new civil rights angle is the merging of different Hispanic and Asian cultures into mainstream American baseball. The talent inflow from many directions has prompted Major League Baseball to change its ways.
"That's a good question," said Torre. "The last rule change that we've had is we're allowing interpreters on the field during the game. I've had experience obviously with Cuban players and Asian players. Even though somebody is going to translate for you, sometimes the terminology is different. Even though the translation may be right, it doesn't mean you understand what you're trying to say to them.
"I think we're making inroads into that area. What's making this game more welcoming for a lot of these players is teammates rally around them and support them."

2012-08-17 00:00 - "Sons of winter and stars – Rise!"
This short but significant excerpt of the track "Sons of Winter And Stars" not only is the wake-up call for everyone interested in music, it´s the battle cry of a band that released their self-titled debut album eight long years ago and had had to live up to the highest expectations and pressure of time for the eagerly awaited successor ever since. As "Wintersun" turned out to be a critically-acclaimed masterpiece of musical art, the band unintentionally found themselves facing the situation of having to out-do their previous work, and soon.
2012 it´s finally time to unleash WINTERSUN´s second full-length album "TIME I". Over the course of eight years the band have taken both music and visuals to yet another level and while listening to their new effort you´ll be taken on a journey through the doors of time, a journey beyond the stars, beyond the birth of the worlds to an infinite universe.
Finland´s epic metaller will release their long-awaited album "TIME I" on October 12 before hitting the road in October/November headlining the so-called Heidenfest tour. Recently the band went into the studio with photographer Nana Simelius to shoot the new pictures for the upcoming album and now the breathtakingly beautiful front cover of "TIME I" has been unveiled.
Commented the band:
"We searched many options who could actually make the cover for TIME I. Cameron´s way of creating art was just something that stood out immediately and we feel it suited best for Jari´s vision as a cover for TIME I. We are really happy for the result and hopefully this collaboration continues in the future releases as well!"

A U.S. Navy helicopter prepares to land on Manicani Island which was isolated by last week's super typhoon to deliver relief supplies Saturday Nov. 16, 2013 in Eastern Samar in central Philippines. Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful storms on record, hit the country's eastern seaboard Nov. 8, leaving a wide swath of destruction. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez) The Associated Press
International aid continues to arrive in the Philippines as people try to recover from a devastating typhoon that has killed more than 3,600 people and left more than 600,000 others homeless.
Another Canadian military cargo plane left Canadian Forces Base Trenton in eastern Ontario Friday night with more soldiers and aid bound for the Philippines.
About 200 members of the Canadian military's Disaster Assistance Response Team will be in the Philippines, where 55 Canadians are among the almost 1,200 people still missing.
A team of 10 soldiers from Japan's Self-Defence Force arrived Friday with medical supplies in the typhoon-hit city of Tacloban in hardest-hit Leyte Province. They will travel around the Philippine city and provide medical treatment to typhoon victims.
Michael Messenger, the executive director of World Vision Canada, is on the ground in the region and says he's moved by the "devastation and heartbreak" he sees around him.
"There are people on the side of the road holding signs saying 'We need help, we need food,'" Messenger told CBC News on Saturday. "Everywhere you turn there are houses that are flattened, buildings that have crumpled."
Messenger says he's inspired by the stories of survival, "amazing stories of resilience" that he's hearing.
Thousands of people have sought shelter inside Tacloban's Astrodome, while others have decided to flee the city.
UN officials say the immediate priority for humanitarian agencies over the next few days is to transport and distribute food, tarpaulins, tents, clean drinking water and basic sanitation services to survivors.
The CBC's David Common is travelling with DART in the central Philippines and says their priority is to provide medical treatment to survivors.
"We understand from members of Canada's military here that there is a lot of dysentry and a lot of other gastrointestinal concerns, and we are seeing Ciprofloxacin, a common antibiotic, put into aid packages, delivered by the Red Cross and World Vision and others," Common said.
The aid groups are hoping to keep the curb the spread of disease as people remain in crowded shelters. The long-delayed aid is flowing more than a week after Typhoon Haiyan swept over the country with tsunami-like waves and powerful winds.
Conditions are "absolutely horrific" in Tacloban, Canadian Judy Colgan with Global Medic, told CBC's Chris Brown.
"I've never seen anything anything like this before," she said.
Her team's key priority is getting people clean water, and on Friday it set up a water purification device on the outskirts of town that cleans 40 litres of water an hour.
"The water is very dirty with E. coli, just dirty sediment and sand, and people are bathing in it," Cogan said. "They're also drinking it, unfortunately, which is making them sick."
Residents of Tanauan, a fishing town about 15 kilometres southeast of Tacloban, said they only started receiving substantial aid on Friday.
Relief efforts are picking up, Common reported on Friday from the city of Cebu.
"By that I mean what we saw when we arrived at the Cebu airport today: A dozen or more cargo jets from Israel, the Netherlands, American military aircraft that were dropping off huge numbers of supplies, pallet loads," he said.
Common said it's clear that DART will be needed, particularly its helicopters, which arrive on Sunday.
"The issue right now is that there's an awful lot of aid pouring into airports," he said. "It's just tricky to get it into the hands of those who actually need it. The devastation here is enormous. The issue, of course, is trying to reach everyone. That hasn't happened a week after the typhoon."
The team's commanding officer on the ground said the Canadian effort was based at the airport in the community of Iloilo, and Common reported some DART members had moved north to the city of Roxas.
The Canadian team includes medical personnel, but military officials say the initial work will fall to engineers who can open roads, repair basic infrastructure and provide clean drinking water.
"We sent a mobile medical team to one of these evacuation centres in Pilar and they were able to see about 60 patients,' said DART's commanding officer, Lieut.-Col. Walter Taylor in an interview with CBC News on Saturday.
"Our scale and scope of our operation is increasing exponentially."
There are 118 DART personnel on the ground, including 54 who arrived Friday. There are 70 more en route and more will be sent in the coming days and weeks, the Department of National Defence said.
U.S. helicopters dropping water and food
In another sign that relief efforts were picking up, U.S. navy helicopters were flying from the aircraft carrier USS George Washington off the coast, dropping water and food to isolated communities.
The U.S. military is sending about 1,000 more troops, along with additional ships and aircraft. By Friday, there were 400 U.S. Marines in the country to assist typhoon victims.
The Philippine government — perhaps inevitably — has come under some criticism for its inability to get supplies out quicker.
"In a situation like this, nothing is fast enough," Interior Secretary Mar Roxas said in the Leyte capital, Tacloban, most of which was destroyed by the storm. "The need is massive, the need is immediate, and you can't reach everyone."
Back in the town of Guiuan, some 155 kilometres east of Tacloban, there were other signs of life emerging from the debris. One man was selling skewers of meat, a couple of kiosks are open selling soda and soaps. Everywhere, freshly washed clothes lay in sun, drying.
While many have left this and other affected towns, some are choosing to stay and help.
Over 90 per cent of the infrastructure in Ormoc was destroyed. The port city now lacks even wire poles, according to a spokesman for the city. Full resumption of power supply is not expected to be realized in five to six months.
However, some key facilities will get power back next month.
"We hope to be able to restore at least partial electrical power to certain potions of city by Dec. 9," said a city spokesman.
Guiuan was one of the first towns to be hit by the storm. It suffered massive damage, but casualty figures were lower than in Tacloban and some other towns because it was largely spared from storm surges.
In Tacloban, there were also some signs a battered population was beginning to get back on its feet — even as trucks carrying corpses drove through its streets on the way to a mass grave.
The ornate tiled floor of a still-standing church was covered in mud as sunlight poured in through holes in the wind-peeled ceilings. Inside, people prayed while others swept dirt from the pews.
Residents hauled debris into piles in the streets and set them on fire. Others were at work making frames for temporary homes.
In one neighbourhood, dozens of people crowded around a mobile generator, where countless cords snaked across the dirt and into power strips. Residents plugged in mobile phones, tablets and flashlights, hoping for a precious gulp of electricity, even though cellphone coverage remained spotty.
John Lajara was already thinking about replacing his old residence, which once had a pool table and a sea breeze. Now it's a trash heap.
"We can't wait so I am building my house again," he said. "Back to zero."
John Bumanig and his wife were cleaning out their second-hand clothes shop, which was swamped by storm surges. They were laying out ladies bras in the sun, though they weren't hopeful anyone would buy them. Most of the stock had to be thrown out.
They were determined to stay in Tacloban, but faced an uncertain future.
"We cannot do anything, but will find a way to overcome this," said his wife, Luisa, holding back tears. "We have to strive hard because we still have children to take care of."
In Guiuan, a team of volunteers from elsewhere in the Philippines was clearing rubble from the road to the airport so that relief goods could get in quicker. Its leader, Peter Degrido, was trying to move an overturned passenger bus with a truck and steel cables.
"It's devastating to see this. But people are slowly recovering," he said. "They've already moved most of the bodies."

WINTERHAVEN, CA.- A 59 year old man is arrested at the Andrade Port of Entry after more than a half million dollars worth of cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine is found hidden in his vehicle.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers referred a silver 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport for further inspection Sunday morning.
During a search officers found 23 wrapped packages of the narcotics co-mingled inside a custom-built compartment in the rear floor area.

First year not doing anything. I feel so lonely. :/
Which is good because I never wanted to be your friend anymore ever since August. I can't believe I wasted effort with this when all you do is nothing.
so much for getting the game when it comes out on my birthday.
Nothing. LOL. This year, I'm isolating myself in my house and not going to give out candy because I'm a Halloween "Grinch." (:

We just downed him on 25 man tonight. We had out best geared tank (a DK) go in the gauntlet - that group had 10 people and I think only one healer. We ended up successfully completing the fight with 3, yes 3 tanks in the arena (DK[myself], Paladin, and a Druid). The druid would mostly tank the Warbringers (maybe it was champions) away from everyone else a bit while the pally and I spammed all our AoE abilities and took everything else. Still a very tough fight - we wiped a lot perfecting this (after using only the pally and myself as tanks in the arena for awhile).
Once phase 2 began, all the tanks stacked on Thorim in the middle circle and would taunt off each other when one had the Unbalancing Strike debuff.
Also of note is that the pally and I had DnD and Consecration up as much as possible in the middle circle of the arena as a kind of "safe" tanking zone where at least one of us would be pulling more threat than the dps/healers.
Good luck on any attempts at this guy!

We've got to rescue those trapped underneath this rubble before their oxygen supply runs out!" Shouted Ratchet as he, Terrador, and Ironhide held up an immense slab of a concrete wall. Spyro, Cynder, Sparx, and U.S. reserve troops entered the darkness of the collapsed building to search for any trapped survivors.The human soldiers turned on their search lights, implanted on their helmets. Sparx's glow also provided light needed to see."Stay close," warned the beauteous black dragoness. "For one of you can get lost down here." As they progressed, a shout in Haitian language is heard in the darkness."It's coming from other there," Spyro exclaimed, using his acute hearing. "Come on!""Right behind ya!" called Sparx. They eventually found someone buried underneath a slab of concrete, still crying for help.&
AoH: The Birth of ZealousAge of Heroes side-story: Birth of ZealousSYNOPSIS: It has been five years since Spyro, Cynder, Sparx and the other guardians defeated Malefor and his wretched servant Liun. Since then, all the dragons and other allying races have been gradually rebuilding Warfang and the Dragon Temple from the cataclysmic damage caused by that climatic battle. By this point, construction and restorations of both the city and temple are halfway complete. In addition, all the draconic protagonists have considerably grown to their full adult sizes, thus properly maturing to an age where they now capable of laying eggs.Within the suburbs of Warfang, Sparx is impatiently hovering outside the entrance of a large pavilion with Flash (his dad), Hunter, Exile, Vera, and Wraith, the dragon elder of darkness, waiting alongside him. For it had only been some thirty-five minutes before when they along with Spyro, Cynder, Singe and Plax arrived.

It was a long time before I reawakened, finding myself falling thousands of feet from above, and
well, you probably can guess what happened after that.SPARX: (mentally) Well, wasn't it that obvious?![From this point, Sebastian begins verbally expressing his thoughts aloud, to which everybody, except Sparx recognizes. And in the process, he begins to sound more seriously emotional then he has ever been in his life, to the point of sobbing.]SEBASTIAN: But de worst ding about it is dat, although I'm alive, I'm now more confused as to how and why I even survived back there in the first place. Which unfortunately leads only to more questions instead of answers,
TLoS: VfUtS, Ch. 1, part 1Chapter 1 Sebastian's Arrival[Location: Valley of Alavar][It was late in the afternoon as both Spyro and Cynder, their tails curled and intertwined around each other, were resting next to each other on a hill top and basking in the refreshing spring warmth. Not too far from them, Sparx, hovering above at 500 feet, was gazing at the clouds high above him. Many peaceful and tranquil sounds were heard throughout the Valley: birds singing, the flowing of the nearby river, and some occasional chattering from squirrels close by. Spyro then woke up and lifted his head and neck, simultaneously yawning in the process. Then he stood up, stretching out his aching body for a brief moment. He then smiled joyfully as he then looked down upon Cynder, whose black scales and silver bracelets glistened beautifully in the early spring sunlight. He silently continued marveling at her beauty for a moment before he p

Hades (voiced by James Woods) is currently finding the keys to unlocking a room that imprisons especially dangerous and apocalyptic monsters and demons (except for Satan) and is where they are hideously and gruesomely tortured. Hades' minions Pain and Panic, are standing right beside him, fearfully awaiting his orders. Standing behind Hades are Malefor and Liun, who recently perished at the mighty efforts of Spyro, Cynder, and the new elemental guardians. Just then, the gigantic Typhon (voiced by Regis Philbin) approaches the Hades and the others from behind.]TYPHON: Hey there, Hades!MALEFOR: (mentally) Oh, just brilliant!

As the light's brightness decreased, there before where it illuminated was the Archangel Gabriel, as he levitated close to the horrid sight of the mountain before him."Doubtless, this is where they should be," he proclaimed with a voice that echoed throughout the landscape. "Now I shall now do as my beloved Father in Heaven hath commanded me." He instantly vanished from where he hovered.Gabriel reappeared inside the depths of the Mountain, hovering within a large and extensive corridor. What he saw before him was the very crystal which encased Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx when the Mountain of Malefor was collapsing nearly three years ago. It's orange glow was faint in comparison to the luminosity emitting from Gabriel as he gradually approached it."These young ones have grown in size and strength just as the

As of recent, something has been troubling Cynder as she kept having strange and bizarre dreams, most of which involved the adult form Malefor enforced upon her when he had brutally enslaved her. Spyro, who deeply loves Cynder, never left her but remained by her side to comfort her in such desperate times she endured. This lasted for two-three weeks when an anonymous message came to both Spyro and Cynder which stated these words: "Dearly beloveds, it has come to my attention that one of you is greatly troubled by something you both fear and dread. But fear not, for I, Aslan have the answers you seek involved with your dilemma. If you wish to find me, there is a portal, found near the edge of Warfang

Spyro: Dawn of Light, Ch.1SPYRO: DAWN OF LIGHTCHAPTER 1"Stand still ugly purple lizard! STAND STILL!!"Hollering laughter filled the garden where Spyro and Gnasty Gnorc were once again duking it out. Spyro fell to the ground, pounding the grass with his paw and turning red in the face as he laughed. Had Gnasty been smarter, he might've used this chance to club Spyro, but he just stood there wondering what was so funny."So-ho So I'm ugly now?!" Spyro laughed. "Who's the one that broke the garden mirror when he passed it?"The lumbering green Gnorc roared and threw his club at Spyro, and the purple dragon jumped to the side and spat a fireball at the hideous green giant, and then finally beat him with a solid skull-bash."I'll be back and I will KILL you!!" Gnasty yelled, and fell over and disappeared in a puff of small sparks and smoke. The gems he'd been carrying appeared on the ground, and Spyro whistled a little tune to himself as he picked them up and
It's What Inside that CountsIt's What Inside that CountsWithin the Dragon Temple, in the middle of the day, a young purple dragon, Spyro, was sitting at the end of a hallway, relaxing, as he stood a few feet away from his mentor, Ignitus. The great Fire Guardian himself was laying fully on the floor, resting his old bones.Spyro smiled to his sleeping mentor and continued to look around at the temple, until he heard the faint footseps of a dragon coming nearby. As the purple dragon looked around for the source of the footsteps, he faced towards the other end of the hallway, tilting his head slightly as he saw a small dragonlike figure about to emerge.Curious and wide awake, Ignitus turned his head and gazed his eyes to where Spyro was looking to.Slowly appearing from one of the hallways, was a small, young dragoness just about Spyro's size with shiny gray-black scales that are said to almost gleam, along with a red scaley belly. She has six horns on her head: two short ones at the bottom of her head nex
Love Is In The Air P1Cynder awoke, feeling weak and drained. When she opened her eyes, she saw a beautiful sight before her: she was in a grassy meadow with flowers all around her gently rocking to the rhythm of the wind, the tree tops were full of green leaves and blossoms, and the sun was shinning on them, making everything seem especially radiant. The black dragoness shakily got up and looked around. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a hint of purple. Turning her head in that direction, she saw it was none other than the purple dragon, Spyro. As she slowly made her way over to him, Spyro's eye lid quivered, and then he opened his eyes slightly. At first the purple dragon didn't know what happened and why he felt so drained, but then the memory of the battle came rushing back to him all at once. He opened his eyes enough to see his surroundings, and was surprised at what he saw.

The next thing he noticed was the sweltering heat and the huge purple crystal they rested upon. Suddenly the recent events caught up with him. They had won. They sealed Malefor in the core of the earth. Spyro looked up at Cynder and smiled "We did it."Cynder looked around

Say it to me.""Sparx is in danger. I can feel it from here. That's made me wake up. Cynder, I must go now. I must help him.""No, Spyro. Your power restoration are still incomplete. I will go save Sparx. Don't push yourself too hard." Cynder feel worried."I'm okay. Let me go. You don't have to do anything. I feel the worst out there." He looked at Cynder. Cynder can't say anything for a while. But after a few second, he said, "No matter you must go to the most dangerous place, no matter you must go to the end of the world, no matter you must go to the world of eternal darkness, Near, far, I will protect you, wherever you are. I promise. Let's go. We save him together."This wo

As the newly appointed Chronicler, he had access to all the world's history and future before him. He closed his eyes and thought of the young purple dragon whom he had trained and had just saved the entire world.When his eyes opened another book had floated across the room and presented itself before him. The cover revealed that it belonged to Spyro and Ignitus smiled to himself as he flipped through the pages. He read over the struggle Spyro and Cynder had faced after he had left them at the belt of fire: Spyro nearly being corrupted again, Cynder being taken over by Malefor and the two's epic battle to bring the Dark Master to his knees. When all had seemed lost Spyro used his remaining power to give new life to their dying world."Well done young dragons." Ignitus smiled proudly as he finished reading the page he was on.

Spyro walked over to Cynder with a smile on his face. He had been meaning to tell her something important and had been waiting for the right time. When he got to her, she rubbed her head against his and he rubbed hers in return. I cant believe hes finally gone! Cynder said.

During that duration of time, both their bodies gradually grew in size to where they were three quarters of Hunter's height. In addition, Spyro and Cynder's relationship grew in ways they never imagined. Spyro eventually confessed his love for Cynder, just as she did in the previous two weeks in which they defeated Malefor, which thus began an intimately and consummately amorous and affectionate relationship between the two dragons (one that would last for the rest of their joyous lives). Then over the next four-five months Spyro and Cynder's relationship eventually blossomed to the point where they both became life mates.It was also during this period of eighteen months that Chief Prowlus, Hunter and the other cheetahs in his tribe ga

Very nice read. I absolutely love the WoW history as it brings back a lot of memories of how the game excited me back then, being my first MMO. Looking forward to future columns that focus on historical happenings outside of patches.
Please cover Indalamar warrior kill speed video which lead to massive changes to the Warrior class shortly before the release (if I remember that correctly). Nurfed was also very active in the early days of world PvP, roaming their server with a group competing against various others ( http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7307314717274050028# ). The Nurfed UI was also very popular back then. So all in all a very influential and successful guild.
