As seniors, Juneau-Douglas High School soccer players Oswaldo Magallanes, John Scudder, Hunter Pegues and Treyson Ramos served as the spine of the Crimson Bears' formation. With Magallanes in midfield, Scudder at forward, Ramos on the back line and Pegues as one of the state's best goalkeepers, JDHS was talented at every level this year.
The Crimson Bears' ability caught the eye of college recruiters, with the four recent graduates landing on college rosters.

NEW YORK — Preakness winner Exaggerator is the 9-5 morning-line favorite in a field of 13 entered for Saturday's $1.5 million Belmont Stakes, the final leg of the Triple Crown.
The 3-year-old colt trained by Keith Desormeaux and ridden by his brother, Hall of Famer Kent Desormeaux, drew the No. 11 post position on Wednesday.
LONDON — Maria Sharapova was suspended Wednesday for two years for failing a drug test, labeled "the sole author of her own misfortune" because she hid regular pre-match use of a newly banned substance from anti-doping authorities and members of her own entourage.
The tennis star said she would appeal what she called "an unfairly harsh" punishment to the Court for Arbitration for Sport.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Muhammad Ali, who long ago began crafting the plan for his final tribute, insisted the tickets for his memorial service be free. But on Wednesday, after the tickets were handed out, some people looked to make a profit.
People started arriving outside the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville late Tuesday, hours ahead of the ticket distribution. The line stretched around the arena. Thousands of tickets for Ali's memorial service Friday were claimed on a first-come, first-served basis in about an hour.
In Monday's Sports coverage of Thunder Mountain High school's softball state championship win, player Sarah Jenkins-Hayes was left out of the printed roster. The roster provided to the Empire by TMHS' coaching staff was incomplete and did not include the player.
Also, in the same article, the Empire misspelled the first name of Makayla Harp.
The Empire regrets all errors. To report an error or request a correction, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 523-2265.
CHICAGO — As a young boxer, Muhammad Ali searched for a faith to guide him as he confronted the indignities of racial discrimination. What he found was the Nation of Islam, the controversial black Muslims who preached a doctrine of strict separation of the races and described white people as devils.
PARIS — Striking workers rather than security threats are the pressing challenges for European Championship organizers right now, with less than two days until France hosts its biggest event since last year's wave of extremist attacks.
France is anticipating around 10 million visitors for the month-long soccer showpiece, which kicks off on Friday with the host nation hosting Romania in Paris at the Stade de France.
Parks and Recreation of Juneau is looking for referees for the upcoming youth outdoor soccer season.
The season begins July 9 and runs through Sept. 3. Referees 14 and older are needed for the 7-8, 9-10 and 11-14 year old divisions. Some soccer knowledge is appreciated but not required.
If interested or for more information contact Parks and Rec's Dave Pusich or Amanda Lovejoy at 586-5226, or visit the youth sports website for more information.
The Juneau Soccer Club is bringing TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer), a training program for young athletes with disabilities, to Juneau for the 2016 season. JSC will host a Buddy Training Clinic from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. June 12, with a player clinic following from 1-2 p.m. at the Dimond Park Fieldhouse.
CLEVELAND — Under the long-used former NBA Finals format, Game 3 of this Golden State-Cleveland matchup would have been played Tuesday night.
Not this year, thanks to an extra rest day.
And the Cavaliers are probably celebrating that.
The Eastern Conference champions need as much time as they can get to try to figure out a way back into these finals. They've used LeBron James as a ballhandler and as a center, they've played at different speeds, they've tried different lineups.

AVADirect Now Offers Mini-SSDs For Notebooks
AVADirect recently began to offer Mini SATA SSDs for all compatible notebooks. This is an extremely convenient option for those who want massive amounts of storage and fast performance with very little affect to their wallet. These new Mini SSDs offer speeds as high as 220 Mb/s per read/write with TRIM compatibility. The MINI SSD cards are installed in notebooks internally via the mini PCI-E slot, usually where wireless cards have been installed for some time. The reduced size of the mini SSDs provide a form of durability that 2.5 SSDs are not able to match. We will begin to offer these mini SSDs as an option in all appropriate notebook configurations and will continue to update our selection as they are released. This is a very exciting period for notebooks as they continue to become less limited in the amount of performance they can provide next to a desktop.
To view all mini-SSDs we offer click Mini-SSDs at AVADirect

Havas Cuts Carbon Footprint
Havas says it is the first global communications group to become carbon neutral in six of its key markets, marking the first step in a commitment to greener working practices. According to Havas, it has been assessed and approved as ZeroCO2 carbon neutral after having calculated and offset its main carbon emissions in 2006, including electricity and gas consumption, paper use and business travel.
Havas' carbon emissions in France, UK, Spain, US, Mexico and India amounted to the equivalent of 32,382 metric tonnes of CO2 in 2006, and it has started a focused internal process to reduce this by 20 percent by 2009.
This will primarily affect paper use, transport and other key sources of carbon emissions. The reduction program will be supported by an internal awareness campaign and training programs to help employees reduce their impact on the environment.

Freebirthing: Is it madness or the ideal way to give birth?
Six months pregnant with her second child, Clio Howie logged onto the internet to find out more about labour and delivery.
Until then, she had imagined her baby would arrive in the same predictable and clinical manner as her first child Orion, now four - the same way as most babies born in this country: in the labour ward at the local hospital.
'It wasn't even as if I had a particular problem or issue with that sort of delivery,' says Clio, a housewife who lives in Pembrokeshire with her partner Lee, 28, a farmer.
Home alone: Clio Howie, 26, and her son Lucien
'I can't describe giving birth to Orion as a positive experience - my labour, in an NHS hospital, lasted more than 24 hours, and was both painful and frightening at times - but it was not particularly traumatic and I just assumed that was the deal when you had a baby.
'All I'd heard from other women was how painful and difficult labour was, so I'd never expected anything different.'
But what Clio, 26, discovered online that evening was to change her outlook, and turn her in to the public face of the largely underground trend towards freebirthing, also known as unassisted birth.
In her Google search for methods of pain relief, Clio came across a link to 'Pain-free' birth. There, she found a report by a woman in America who was advocating freebirthing - the term used for giving birth at home with no health professional involved.
That means no midwife support, no clinical monitoring, no modern technology during labour and no emergency resources should anything go wrong.
'I read her blog and scrolled through a load of images of her giving birth, and I sat there with my mouth open,' says Clio.
'There were photographs of her at home giving birth in a pool, and in most of the pictures she was laughing. She didn't seem to be in any pain at all. I couldn't believe anyone could bring a child into the world so easily.
'From that moment, I became obsessed with researching 'pain-free' and 'unassisted' births. It seemed such an incongruous idea. But I found many blogs from women who'd done it. I wanted the same experience.'
Risks that horrify doctors
Not surprisingly, freebirthing and its growing popularity horrifies many doctors and obstetricians, who fear it could endanger lives.
'For a healthy woman, with no known complications, who is tuned into her body and her baby's needs, labour is usually straightforward,' says Mary Newburn, head of Policy Research for the National Childbirth Trust.
'However, the issue with freebirthing arises if complications occur that the family cannot cope with and the birth is not attended by a trained midwife.'
Others simply regard it as a voluntary return to what are effectively medieval conditions. But women like Clio say the problems of childbirth are exaggerated, and the notion that labour is frightening and dangerous to either mother or child is a symptom of our 'overmedicalised' attitude to childbirth in the Western world.
'You're not going to have an easy birth if you arrive in hospital feeling terrified and anticipating being in agony,' says Clio. 'A painful and difficult labour, which needs medical intervention, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because women get so worked up about it and so afraid.
Birthing suite: A shiatsu practitioner sits beside her birthing pool, where she intends to give birth without using any of the usual painkillers
'Everything about childbirth in this country is overmedicalised and regimented. For instance, hospitals insist the placenta is delivered immediately, whereas freebirthers believe it can be delivered up to two or three days later.
'There is no pressure with an unassisted birth, and no system that has to be rigidly stuck to. It is a purely natural birth in a sense that is beyond the comprehension of most medical professionals.'
After discussing the possibility of unassisted birth with her partner and her mother, both of whom were supportive, Clio dropped out of the NHS system.
'I didn't bother telling my midwife or obstetrician I was going to have a freebirth as there was no point,' says Clio. 'They would have filled my head with scare stories and negative opinions - these people see birth as a medical condition which needs to be managed, whereas I'd started to feel that, in fact, it didn't need to be managed at all.
'It was my decision and nothing to do with them. As it was, I stopped going to appointments and no one seemed to give two hoots anyway. The more I read, and the more people I chatted to online, the more I became convinced that I was making the right decision.
'I started to think of birth as being painless and pain-free, and not a medical emergency.
'The problem is that as soon as you walk into a hospital, you effectively hand over your body, and control of your body, to a total stranger. No wonder you end up feeling tense.
'But when you understand that birth is not frightening and does not mean you are ill, then you can take control of the situation yourself. In doing that, you can avoid feeling pain.'
The role of fear
While it is easy to dismiss Clio as being a little misguided, to say the least, she is far from alone. In the U.S., the freebirthing movement is led by Laura Shanley, a mother-of-four from Colorado, whose motto is: 'If you want the job doing right, do it yourself.'
She has had five unassisted births and has written a book on the subject. She speaks candidly about her experiences, saying she caught one baby herself as it was delivered, her husband caught another, she pulled a third out by its feet and gave birth to another alone while her toddler sons slept in the next room.
However, critics seize on the fact that, tragically, Shanley's fourthborn, a boy, was born prematurely and died shortly after birth of a heart defect, pneumonia and sepsis. Shanley insists the coroner told her a hospital birth wouldn't have made a difference.
'I had all my children at home without the help of doctors or midwives,' says Laura.
'Neither my husband nor I had been trained in midwifery, but we both believe that problems in birth can be traced to medical intervention and fear. When a woman is afraid in labour (which most women are), she sends messages to her body telling it now is not the time to give birth.
Blood and oxygen flow away from the uterus and into the arms and legs so that the frightened woman can run from the supposed danger or fight it. Without blood and oxygen, the uterus cannot do its job and childbirth indeed becomes painful and dangerous. If you take control, you prevent all that fear and agony.'
However simplistic they may sound, these are sentiments shared by Sophie Clarke, 37, a full-time mother from Wiltshire.
Outdoor freebirth
Sophie, who lives with her husband, James, 40, had freebirths with her first two children, Chloe, now four and Autumn, two, and is now considering an outdoor freebirth with her third.
'I heard about freebirthing when my cousin in America said she was going to have one,' says Sophie. 'I attended her birth and it was an incredible experience, watching her deliver her child without a midwife or any other medical intervention.
'I didn't plan on doing the same with my first child, who was born a year later, but I decided to have a home birth with a midwife who was supportive of freebirth. In the end, she encouraged me to give birth on my own, with her in the next room, so she could help if there were any complications.'
Sophie's first freebirth lasted five hours and she delivered alone, without her husband at her side.
She admits to being nervous and that her friends and family thought she was mad. I would be lying if I said there weren't moments when I felt like changing my mind,' she says. 'But the midwife was reassuring, and was on hand to give me advice.
'Mostly though, she left me to it. I realised I enjoyed being in total control, being able to move about as I wanted to and not feeling restricted in any way. The birth was painful, but my daughter arrived safely.'
When Sophie fell pregnant for the second time, she didn't consider anything other than a freebirth. And she didn't phone a midwife until after her daughter, Autumn, was born.
Now pregnant with her third child, and having recently witnessed her cousin giving birth to her fourth baby in her garden, Sophie would like an outdoor freebirth.
'It was amazing watching my cousin give birth in a pool, surrounded by the trees and greenery of her garden,' says Sophie. 'I'd love to do the same thing, although given that my baby is due in December, the weather means this might not be possible. I would recommend a freebirth to any mother, even if it's her first baby.
'The trick is to focus on your body and not the pain, and make sure there are no distractions, annoying partners or other family members to put you off. Birth is natural, and if you allow your body just to get on with it, then there is nothing to fear.'
In preparation for her own labour, Clio Howie turned her guest bedroom into a birthing suite. She bought a birthing pool, put up her favourite picture and filled the room with orchids and candles.
She spent her evenings studying practicalities such as how to cut an umbilical cord, but admits she did not focus too much on what to do in an emergency. While some may think Clio irresponsible, she was confident that there would be no emergency.
'Worrying about things like emergencies would simply have meant putting the fear back into labour,' says Clio. 'I know it's hard for people to understand but I had a belief in my ability to give birth on my own.'
Clio went into labour on October 30 last year, and her son Lucien was born in just two hours. She says she was in no pain, and the video of the birth - it has been posted on YouTube and viewed thousands of times - shows her appearing totally calm. She even laughs as her baby arrives.
Later that day, Clio phoned her midwife to get a discharge certificate from the hospital. When asked why she hadn't called for help, she said the baby had arrived too quickly.
Since her video has gone online, Clio has been contacted by a number of other British women wishing to follow her example. All are planning to have their unassisted birth in secret, because they know they are not likely to find support from midwives at their local hospital.
One, a 35-year-old mother-of-two from Greenwich in East London, says she will attend all her scans and ante-natal appointments, but will not be attending the hospital when she goes into labour in September.
'I don't feel I can tell my friends what I'm doing, let alone anyone at the hospital,' she says. 'They would all try to put me off. But I've had two children, I know what I'm doing and my husband will be there to support me.
'Having read up about freebirthing and watching Clio's video of her own birth, I decided I didn't want to go to hospital and be forced into some sort of production line.'
Clio insists she has no regrets over Lucien's birth and would do the same again if she had another child. 'The moment I first saw Lucien's face under the water is one I'll remember for the rest of my life. I scooped him up and thought: "I just delivered my own baby."
'I felt like a changed person. It's left me with a new confidence that I never would have had otherwise. I only wish more women felt able to experience the same thing.'
It is a utopian sentiment which will appeal to many women. The only question is quite what use orchids and candles would be if something does go seriously wrong?

On January 30, 2014, the White House released the Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for the Arctic Region. The purpose of the Implementation Plan is to put flesh on the bones of the May 10, 2013 National Strategy for the Arctic Region. The National Strategy had identified three lines of effort to address challenges posed by the changing Arctic environment. The Implementation Plan sets forth the methodology, process, and approach for executing the Strategy. Most importantly, though, the Implementation Plan assigns lead agencies and supporting agencies for each of 36 identified taskings. For each tasking, there are defined objectives, next steps (with specific timelines), and methodologies for measuring progress toward completion of the task.
The Congressional Research Service (CRS), the nonpartisan think-tank for the Legislative Branch, has written four reports on Changes in the Arctic and consequent issues confronting the Congress. The most recent report noted that the United States is an Arctic nation and has substantial economic, security and environmental interests in the region. Of the five Arctic coastal nations, four are in the process of preparing Arctic territorial claims for submission to the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf. The United States is not currently preparing such a claim because only it has not acceded to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
The Russian Federation has a substantial fleet of polar icebreakers and carries out extensive activities in the polar region, including regular voyages to the geographic North Pole. The United States has one operational polar icebreaker, the USCGC Polar Star, and that icebreaker has exceeded its intended 30-year service life. Another vessel, USCGC Healy, is considered a medium icebreaker. While it has less icebreaking capability than Polar Star, Healy has extensive scientific research assets, also important for completion of the Implementation Plan.
In July 2013, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) issued a thoughtful study entitled "Arctic Economics in the 21st Century" regarding choices Arctic states (and particularly the United States) will have to make in coming years regarding development of Arctic economic resources and protection of its fragile ecosystem. To date, Canadian and American interventions in the Arctic have been economically driven and have centered heavily on extractive industries. As a consequence, both nations have very limited infrastructure in the Arctic and limited polar icebreaking assets. While oil and gas extraction will continue to be challenging and expensive (particularly given that oil and gas prices are not expected to rise in the foreseeable future), extraction of rare earths and other strategic minerals from the Arctic region has significant and current economic potential.
The Red Dog mine on the Alaska coast north of the Bering Strait is the world's largest source of zinc and a significant source of lead, despite its current ability to load ore onto bulk carriers only during a 100-day shipping season and its lack of a deepwater port – requiring use of barges to transship the ore. Other mines operate in islands of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and are being opened in Greenland and Siberia. These developments will increase traffic in Arctic waters by large commercial carriers. Traffic through the Northern Sea Route is already increasing in both volume and duration. In 2013, we witnessed the first full transit of the Northwest Passage when a dry bulk carrier undertook a voyage from British Columbia to Finland. We are also seeing voyages to Arctic waters, including transits of the Northwest Passage, by passenger vessels – not all of which are ice-strengthened. In addition, the Arctic waters of North America are one of the last remaining frontiers for the fishing industry.
There is minimal infrastructure in the Arctic. Aids to maritime navigation are largely nonexistent. Assets for search and rescue and for response to spills of oil and hazardous material are located almost a thousand miles away. There are also no deepwater ports in the U.S. Arctic. Most landings there are on unimproved beaches.
The new Implementation Plan attempts to address all of these issues and more. It is noteworthy that, of the 36 specific taskings in the Plan, the U.S. Coast Guard is designated as the lead agency for seven and as a supporting agency for 19.
The most important of the USCG taskings, and a force-multiplier for all other taskings, is the requirement to sustain the federal capability to conduct maritime operations in ice-impacted waters of the Arctic. In order to ensure that the United States maintains icebreaking and ice-strengthened ship capability with sufficient capacity to project a sovereign U.S. maritime presence, support U.S. interests in the polar regions and facilitate research that advances the fundamental understanding of the Arctic, the Department of Homeland Security and the Coast Guard are directed to develop a document by the end of 2014 that lists the capabilities needed to complete the tasking. More importantly, by the end of 2017, they are directed to develop long-term plans to sustain federal ability to physically access the Arctic with sufficient capability to support U.S. interests. In my opinion, this can only be done through the construction of at least three new, more powerful polar icebreakers.
The other taskings for which the Coast Guard is designated the lead agency also reflect traditional Coast Guard missions. These consist of enhancing Arctic domain awareness; improving hazardous material spill prevention, containment and response; promoting Arctic oil pollution preparedness, prevention and response internationally; enhancing Arctic search and rescue capability; expediting development and adoption of the IMO Polar Code, and promoting Arctic waterways management. Arctic Shield 2013 saw Coast Guard cutters, buoy tenders, aircraft, equipment and personnel deployed in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas and adjacent coasts where exercises were conducted addressing such taskings. In May 2013, the Coast Guard published its Arctic Strategy discussing application of its traditional missions to the polar environment.
As previously stated, the Coast Guard is designated as a supporting agency in nineteen taskings in the Arctic Strategy Implementation Plan. These range from preparing for increased activity in the maritime domain to promoting international law and freedom of the seas to identifying and assessing invasive species risks and impacts. One particular tasking highlights the importance of adequate icebreaker capability – assisting in the delineation of the outer limit of the United States extended continental shelf. As this area lies on the floor of the Arctic Ocean more than 200 nautical miles north of Alaska, surveys are almost impossible without the assistance of a polar icebreaker.
The May 2011 Department of Defense Report to Congress on Arctic Operations and the Northwest Passage is startling for its candid admissions of the lack of DOD capabilities in Arctic waters. The report states, in particular:
The United States needs assured Arctic access to support national interests in the Arctic. This access can be provided by a variety of proven capabilities, including submarines and aircraft, but only U.S.-flagged ice-capable ships provide visible U.S. sovereign maritime presence throughout the Arctic region. This need could potentially be met by either icebreakers or ice-strengthened surface ships, none of which are in the U.S. Navy current surface combatant inventory, but which do exist in U.S. Coast Guard's inventory in limited numbers.
The Implementation Plan constitutes the first clear commitment of the federal government to strongly enhance its presence in the Arctic. The previously issued Strategy was more of a vague wish-list. Now, federal agencies have defined taskings and timelines. Among other things, this should soon result in the inclusion in the federal budget of funding for new icebreakers, which are long overdue. Most of the other taskings in the Implementation Plan are dependent thereon.
The baton now passes to the Congress to analyze the Implementation Plan with all deliberate speed. This is not a partisan issue, but one that should have broad support. Funds will have to be appropriated, but everything does not have to be done immediately. Some measures, though, cannot be delayed further without jeopardizing the entire plan.
You can't win the competition for the Arctic if you don't show up.

'Dexter' Season 6 Finale: Debra Learns Shocking Truth About Her Brother
It is the relationship between Dexter and Debra that leaves a big question mark in the season 6 finale of "Dexter". As if Deb's growing feelings to her adoptive brother are not complicated enough, she now has to [SPOILER ALERT!] deal with a shocking fact that the man she loves is a serial killer.
In the season ender, Dexter managed to convince Travis to switch his son Harrison with himself as a sacrifice. He pretended to be drugged and then knocked out Travis when he got the chance. He later took Travis back to the church, in which Travis set up shop, and got him on his table.
Elsewhere, Deb met her therapist once again to say, "I finally told my brother that I love him and he said he loves me back!" Deb, however, thought that Dexter does not understand her true feelings. She then followed her therapist's advice to profess her romantic feelings to him.
Deb headed to the church since she had earlier assigned Dexter to visit the place for a final sweep. Unfortunately, she came just in time to witness her adoptive brother stabbing Travis in the heart. "Oh God," the serial killer said when he noticed Deb's presence.
Dishing on how the ending in season 6 sets up the possibly final two seasons of "Dexter", executive producer Sara Colleton has said, "We want to lay the groundwork to have the most interesting way into examining how Deb will react."
She explained, "If we hadn't evolved Deb, then there could only be one reaction, which is horror and arrest, and end of story, which indeed may be the case. It just allows us to have a more complicated character who has to deal with it in a more nuanced way."

Futuremark's 3DMark 11 Benchmarking Suite Reviewed
The New Tests
As with every version of 3DMark, each test is designed to cover different aspects of gaming. The four Graphics tests are broken up into render types as we see listed below.
As you can see, the first test has no Tessellation (something that is big with DX11) but the other three have some when it comes to the rendering of items in the scene. Volumetric lighting is big in all of the tests, as well as post processing for lens effects (film grain etc). Depth of field also plays a big role in the test runs along with particle effects.
The Physics testing (not PhysX) is handled by Bullet this time instead of the Ageia/NVIDIA API. This is a welcomed surprise to AMD fans as it removes the seeming advantage that NV had in the past. The first test is all CPU based with the CPU handling rigid body testing physics at a fixed frame rate. The second test throws the GPU to handle volumetric lighting, and Direct Compute Physics.
To cover the details of the tests, test one puts you in an underwater scene. You see deep sea submersibles moving through the dark waters; their lights the only source of illumination.
In each scene they have included rusted surfaces that are barnacle encrusted to add additional shadows (and tessellation in the second test). These scenes are reminiscent of the movie "The Abyss". In fact, in the longer demo one of the undersea wrecks they find looks a lot like the deep sea drilling lab from that movie.
In test three and four we move to a jungle where we happen upon a deserted campsite. There is lots of vegetation moving in the wind as well as rounded surfaces (for that, Tessellation). The sun shining through the jungle offers a great opportunity for volumetric lighting while we can see some limited particle effects in the light.
The CPU Physics testing is a much like we saw in 3DMark Vantage. It is the same image group rendered multiple times and performing the same action (although each does react differently). The image groups are made up of a series of columns covered by stone slabs. A large stone ball is dropped onto them and they fall apart. This puts the CPU under the strain of calculating each impact and the trajectory of the falling items.
The combined test is something of a close-up with more detail. 3DMark has added in some vegetation, lighting and filtering while the CPU still has to contend with the falling balls of stone and what to do when they hit the columns.
Each of these tests is much shorter in length than in any of the previous versions of 3DMark. We have been told this is to get the results to you faster; this should make more than a few enthusiasts happy along with a few members of the press that use this test.

Many pet parrots are kept alone or in single-sex pairs. Nonetheless, they may come into lay. Lack of preparation (biologically, husbandry, or nutrition) can result in severe consequences. In some cases, persistent egg laying can become a nutritional drain on the bird. This article will discuss some of the underlying reasons for a parrot coming into lay, how to avoid this situation and how to treat it.

Tearing into a piece of chicken after ploughing through a bucket meal is one of life's great pleasures, maybe only topped by that residue left after you've finished. A final, tasty reminder of the meal. For many people, though, they love the idea of fast food but are constantly worrying about their waistlines. KFC know that so have developed an ingenious solution…
KFC have launched its own range of edible polish flavours. The flavours, based on the 'Original' and 'Hot & Spicy' ones from the restaurant, are the two most popular across the world. It allows anyone to enjoy that 'finger licking good' flavour without adding a few calories to your daily intake. There's even a video (which is suitably confusing and features a lot of finger tutting):
Bravo KFC.

TUESDAY, 3rd May 2016: Leicester City fans will be able to toast their captain Wes Morgan with a limited edition Captain Morgan bottle, featuring the star player, following his side's victory in the Barclay's Premier League title on Monday.
The spirit brand will release a limited edition bottle designed to celebrate the Premier League winner's victory – replacing their famous buccaneer on the label with an image of the footballer.
The commemorative bottle features the Jamaican international star dressed as Captain Morgan in royal blue and white robes to match Leicester City's home kit.
The bottles flowed into production following a Twitter exchange between Captain Morgan and the player after Leicester City were crowned champions following Tottenham Hotspur's draw with Chelsea on Monday night.
The drinks company have fast-tracked the production of the limited edition bottle, which features Wes Morgan's signature and an updated medallion with 2016 inscribed to mark his title victory as team captain.
Fans of the premiership football player voiced their love for their Captain with praise across social media using the hashtag #OnlyOneCaptainMorgan, which also features on the bottle.
Wes Morgan has played every minute of the title winning campaign so far (3,285 minutes), becoming the third outfield Premier League champion to do so after Garry Pallister and more recently John Terry in 2015 who both completed the season having played 3,420 minutes. The defender scored an equaliser for Leicester City against Manchester United on Sunday to gain his team a crucial point and secure the title on Monday with 77 points and 2 games to spare.
The Foxes, against odds of 5000-1 at the start of the season, became Premier League champions for the first time in their history beating off the likes of 'super-clubs' such as Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Rhys Love, Senior Brand Manager of Captain Morgan said: "Captain's lead by example and we are thrilled to have one of the greatest captains of recent times, who coincidentally shares our name, become the centre of a historic sporting moment. We have created a limited edition commemorative Captain 'Wes' Morgan bottle to celebrate his incredible title win triumph as the club's skipper. We salute Leicester City and their own Captain Morgan."

LONDON, April 1, 2016: Pimm's, the quintessential drink of the British Summer, has this morning unveiled the result of an unprecedented sponsorship deal to display its logo on the world's most famous clock tower.
Respected TV broadcaster Peter Sissons was one of the first reporters on site and has recorded a special video report on the landmark event.
The drinks brand's logo will be displayed across the dial of Elizabeth Tower, better known as Big Ben, throughout the summer months until Wednesday 31st August.
Marketers at Pimm's approached officials at the Houses of Parliament with 'a generous offer' to contribute towards the restoration of the Grade I listed timepiece in exchange for the unique sponsorship placement.
A 23ft transparent vinyl overlay has been installed behind the hands ensuring that the historic face remains protected while the famous Pimm's logo will be discretely visible to tens of thousands of Londoners in the streets below.
The sponsored clock face was unveiled in the early hours of this morning with a team of abseiling workers revealing the advertising artwork.
Jo Segesser, Pimm's Senior Brand Manager said "We're delighted to be playing our part in restoring the monument. Pimm's O'Clock is a national catchphrase and so the opportunity for us to sponsor Britain's most famous clock was too good to pass up."

No-one has ever said "Pizza? Nah, I'm ok thanks."
It's the food of champions. A feast fit for a King. When pizza and PR combine I can't help but take notice. When you order one the only thing that could do with a little spicing up is the delivery.
A friend of mine encourages the delivery driver to draw a picture of a dinosaur on the box, but if you're a little more mature than that you might be excited by Dominos latest trial…
In New Zealand the pizza giants are trialing autonomous pizza delivery robots. The Domino's Robotic Unit (DRU) was developed by an Australian start up called Marathon and won't open until the intended recipient scans a code from their phone on the robot.
We're one step closer to a automatic pizza utopia. I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

A young general who had not yet seen war, Eisenhower knew that Marshall was trying to test his ability to handle greater responsibility, so he asked for a few hours to formulate his response.
Eisenhower considered everything he knew about Marshall, a man who hated generalities, flashy oratory and empty promises.
When Eisenhower returned, he replied simply that America's first duty was to support its allies in the Pacific theater.
"They may excuse failure," Eisenhower said, "but they will not excuse abandonment."
"I agree with you," Marshall answered. "Do your best to save them."
Ike's focused reply won him a leadership role in World War II. It was a correct response, but also one that fit the preferences of the man who would hear it.
—Adapted from Eisenhower on Leadership: Ike's Enduring Lessons in Total Victory Management, Alan Axelrod, Jossey-Bass.

It is a mistake to assume that content development is an assumed talent, or that it can be an afterthought in the digital marketing realm. Content strategy is more than writing for the web. There is a science and strategy behind developing quality content for web pages, blogs, advertisements and social media. And although every successful copywriter must have a foundation of basics writing skills, such as subject matter expertise, an engaging style and tone, and basic grammar usage, there is much more to being a content king.

CRICKET lovers still pining after Ricky Ponting's retirement now have a little something to ease the pain - a rare film featuring Sir Donald Bradman in action.
The 13-minute black and white film titled Australians in Toronto shows the cricket legend taking part in matches against Canadian teams in 1932. Captured by the Ontario Motion Picture Bureau, it is believed to be only one of two known surviving films depicting Bradman at play somewhere other than Australia or the British Isles.

Footage has surfaced showing a relaxed Don Bradman on an all-expenses-paid overseas cricket tour with his wife, one month after their marriage in 1932.
Bradman was visiting Toronto as part of a 51-match tour organised by the former Australian Test leg spinner Arthur Mailey, who had gathered a team of past and present cricketers including lower grade players.
The tour also acted as an unofficial honeymoon for Bradman and his new wife Jessie Menzies, who joined the touring party at Bradman's request.
The film was released by the National Film and Sound Archive whose curator Simon Smith said the archive was happy to share the clip made at a time when "the spirit of cricket was as important as the result".

Something really weird is happening.
float p1 = (6 / 100);
NSLog(@"p1 = %f", p1);
With those two lines of code I get the following output:
p1 = 0.000000
Why is a simple devide with static numbers not working! I have so much work to do to deal with divide not working! What he heck, am I crazy?
