Is it over once again for Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana?

Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana seem to have the approximate shelf life of a jar of mayo. Three months after reigniting their fizzled flame, the genetically gifted (if snooze-inducing) pair have once again called it quits, reports the New York Post. Split No. 2 supposedly happened shortly before the end of the year.
"Zoe had planned to spend the holidays with Bradley and his family in Europe," shares a source. "They all were going to Paris, but things didn't work out between them. Zoe spent New Year's Eve with friends in Miami."
The actress, 34, didn't appear overly bothered by her latest breakup with the former Sexiest Man Alive. "If Zoe was upset over the split with Bradley, she didn't show it," notes a spy.
The couple's second shot at love lasted the same length of time as their first: three months. The "Words" co-stars were initially linked at the dawn of 2012, when they were spied locking lips at a New Year's Eve party. Saldana quickly bonded with Cooper's mom, Gloria, but it wasn't enough to keep them together. By March, the romance was kaput.
Mrs. Cooper, however, apparently wasn't ready to give up on Zoe, who was said to be the first girlfriend of her son's that she'd liked since his two-year relationship with Renee Zellweger flatlined in March 2011.
Rumor has it, she urged the actor, 37, to reconsider his breakup with Saldana, whose decade-long romance with fiancé Keith Britton ended in November 2011.
"Gloria told Bradley he should win her back because there were obviously still feelings there," an insider told Radar Online in September, "and he did just what she said."
The National Enquirer recently claimed that, with a push from his mom, Cooper had popped the question to Zoe, and she accepted. Insiders, however, scoffed at the report.
According to the Post, things petered out this time around because Bradley has been wrapped up in the promotion of his buzz-heavy drama, "Silver Linings Playbook."

Castle Season 5 (including Spoilers)
View Single Post
April 16 2013, 03:42 PM
Re: Castle Season 5 (including Spoilers)
They really have retconned Castle's character now, from someone who pretends to believe in supernatural mumbo-jumbo to mess with Beckett to someone who sincerely believes in everything. And I still say it's out of character for a mystery writer to be so unskeptical. The mentality of mystery writing is all about revealing the truth behind the illusions, showing how the tricks are done.
Although, when was the last time they even mentioned Castle's books on the show? They're still churning out Nikki Heat novels in real life, but the cross-promotion they used to get on the show is almost nonexistent anymore.
I figured out who the killer was right off the bat, although the episode surprisingly failed to follow up on the obvious clue they gave us. The gorilla was clearly a witness to the murder and was trying to communicate to Castle that one of the sanctuary employees was the killer -- most likely the one who was doing all the talking. They went to all the trouble to set that up -- not only making a point of having a character say that the gorilla was friendly and harmless, thus establishing its behavior as an anomaly, but even going to the expense of obtaining and using a gorilla costume with an animatronic face in order to create the scene -- and then never followed up on it. It's bizarre.
I would've been happier if they'd left the Bigfoot stuff out of it and had Castle trying to convince the other cops that the gorilla was the witness they needed to interview. That way he'd still be trying to convince the cops of an idea that the layperson might find implausible, but it would be one that made sense and was scientifically grounded. Indeed, I wonder if that was the original idea behind the episode, which then got rewritten into the goofier Bigfoot scenario, with the gorilla scene carelessly left in as a plot orphan.
Now that I think of it, the second sanctuary employee in those early scenes, the one who looked Native American, struck me as a character who seemed likely to have some significance in the story. The camera and direction called attention to his reactions enough to give the impression that he had something personal at stake. But he never reappeared. I wonder if this episode had not only rewrites but reshoots; it seems very awkwardly put together.
I'm very worried by the preview for next week.
"Their lives flash before their eyes?" Good grief, they're doing a clip show? This is what they've sunk to now?

If you or a family member have diabetes, it is easy to arrange a visit to our Center. Talk with your provider and ask for a referral.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, where the body mistakenly destroys cells in the pancreas (betacells) that produce insulin. This is more typically diagnosed in persons under the age of 20, but can occur at any age. Persons with type 1 diabetes need to go on insulin at the time of diagnosis.
Type 2 diabetes is more associate with obesity, where the body is resistant to the effect of insulin and other hormones. This is usually treated with oral medications at diagnosis, but many persons with type 2 diabetes will eventually need insulin. This is usually diagnosed in adults, but can also be seen in children.
Gestational Diabetes is diabetes of pregnancy. In some women, resistance to the effect of insulin occurs in pregnancy. This is usually treated with dietary management and sometimes insulin.
Prediabetes is a condition of abnormal blood sugar levels, but not abnormal enough to be diagnostic of diabetes. Persons with prediabetes are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Positive lifestyle changes (dietary, exercise) can significantly reduce the risk of converting to type 2 diabetes.
For more information from the American Diabetes Association.
People with pre-diabetes have blood glucose (blood sugar) levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. These individuals are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
By taking steps to prevent type 2 diabetes, you also lower your risk for possible complications of diabetes such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, nerve damage and other health problems.

Marie Mjolnir
Redirected from Marie Mjölnir
this wiki
Marie Mjolnir (マリー・ミョルニル, Marī Myoruniru) was the Death Weapon formerly in charge of Oceania. However, since the resurrection of Kishin Asura, her duties have since then been reassigned to Azusa. She is currently partnered with Franken Stein, and is a teacher at the DWMA.[1]
Much of Marie's history is unknown. She was a student at the academy who eventually became a Death Weapon. She also dated Joe Buttataki around this time and eventually broke up with him. She would then be in charge of Oceania, planning to one day retire and get married.
Marie is an incredibly caring and gentle individual, and openly expresses her personality at all times. She shows great compassion in creating and maintaining a kind relationship with anyone she meets, and has yet to fail in doing so; almost always being shown with a smile on her face. Whenever a friend is in need, she is always open to help in any way she can no matter the situation. In general, she is always concerned for the wellbeing of others. She also dislikes seeing others unhappy, and is always up to cheering the individual up. People around Marie acknowledge all of these characteristics, and she is popular among her students. She is even able to befriend individuals who are often viewed upon as annoying or disliked among many.
She does not enjoy being put to work, and often seeks for ways around doing so. Her initial intention after having become a Death Weapon was to retire, however, upon not being able to do so, she chose to take Death Weapon charge over Oceania because she viewed it as the most peaceful and easy location to take charge of. When she is assigned to partner with Stein, she even begins to lightly shed tears because of her complete loss of the motivation to work, to which Stein reassures her that he believes such obsessive tendencies will become useful. Over time, these feelings towards work disappear, mostly as the result of the discovery that she really enjoys teaching at the Academy.
She has an undying urge to find a husband and get married, but has yet to successfully maintain a long-term relationship with someone. She always devotes herself to every man she dates but they always seem to end up breaking up with her. Azusa's suggested reason of this is because that Marie put so much devotion into the relationship that the men become so overwhelmed with pressure that they feel the obligation to run away from her. However, Marie denies this, and finds it hard to believe that she is the source of the problem. She has once even become so desperate for love that she almost decided to marry a toilet, seeing it as something that is accepting of anything and everything.
Marie is a forgiving and generally unprejudiced person. This is demonstrated most when Marie forgives Crona for slipping one of Medusa's snakes into her drink, allowing Medusa's group to hear conversations between she and Stein and to also increase the latter's madness.
She also has a horrible sense of direction, and often gets lost in the Academy, even though she's been acquainted with its layout for years. She has gotten lost a notable four times, and even Crona and Ragnarok were shown to be more aware of where the Teacher's Office was than her. She is so bad with directions that a location that can usually be gotten to in a matter of minutes can become a two hour search.[2] This direction problem more than likely originates from Marie guessing that a location is in a random direction rather than actually calculating where she is going.
Despite her usually friendly and calm demeanor, Marie is very quick tempered when someone says something that she doesn't approve of, sometimes even resulting to violence by striking this person with one of her powerful punches. She is not aware of how much they hurt.
In her physical appearance, Marie is a young woman around the age of 25 to 30. She has large, caramel eyes, and long blonde hair.
Zig-zags are prominent in Marie's appearance. She wears her hair loosely with no bangs, and it forms a zig-zag part on her head. Marie wears a black dress with a large, golden, zig-zag pattern in the front from the waist down. Parts of the dress are made of a different fabric. These parts are located on the long sleeves of the dress from the elbows down, and a part below the chest that resembles a girdle-like shape. She wears a pair of white, high-heel shoes that also appear to have a zig-zag pattern on them.
Finally, Marie's most iconic piece of clothing is her large, left eyepatch, which is decorated with a thunderbolt insignia that also appears in her Weapon form.
While hunting Justin, her clothing changed to feature a black sleeveless jacket over a shirt, shorts with patterning similar to her original dress and sandals. These clothes bear a noticeable resemblance to those worn by Joe Buttataki.
Powers and Abilities
Main article: Mjolnir
Perhaps Marie's most acclaimed power is her Demon Weapon transformation into Mjolnir, in which she can take the form of either a hammer or that of a tonfa.[3][4] As a Death Weapon, she is one of the most powerful Demon Weapons present in the series.
- Wavelength Driving: Marie in her weapon form has the ability to drive a wavelength into a opponent. This was powerful enough to cause Justin Law massive internal damage, despite him being merged with The Clown via Madness Fusion.[4]
- Lightning Rope: A hyper-nerve induction technique that gives a massive boost to a Meister's physical capabilities by sending electric pulses through the Meister's motor system. However, it comes with the cost of putting too much strain on her body. This technique was used when partnered with Franken Stein and enabled him to be fast enough for Justin Law to not keep up and even produce after images.[3][4]
- Triquetra Attack: A powerful Soul Resonance technique used during Lightning Rope in which Marie's Tonfo form distorts dramatically, instead becoming two intertwining beams of energy that emanate from a single triquetra symbol. When this symbol collides with a target, it greatly enlarges and results in a powerful destructive blast, which is represented by numerous towering and intertwined pillars of electricity. The concussive force produced by this blast is capable of obliterating even Justin Law while in his Madness Fusion form, leaving only a few tattered remains behind.[5]
Healing Wavelength
Marie's Soul Wavelength has a calming effect on individuals who're able to achieve soul resonance with the said weapon,[6] which contrasts to the Anti-Demon Wavelength's ability to repel Madness. This allows the weapon the ability to keep the Madness within an individual at bay.[7]
Hand-To-Hand Combat Expertise
Enhanced Conditioning
Maire Mjolnir is one of the various Death Weapons in the series and physically the strongest of all the Death Weapons present in the series. While not on par with Justin Law[3] or Stein,[8] she's still a very able and powerful combatant. In the anime, she also display incredible speed, as she was able to stop Maka from attacking Stein. In addition, she also is a very agile and durable individual, having tanked Stein's Soul Menace technique and launched into a wall, but still able to fight.[8] Perhaps her most known trait is her physical strength with the use of her partial transformation, powerful enough to send Justin Law and Spirit Albarn flying in the air as well as crushing toilets and when her hand is transformed, even stop Medusa's Vector Arrows.
After the death of B.J., she left the DWMA with Stein in order to find Joe's murderer and also because his last request was for her to keep an eye on Stein.
Tying Things Up, and New BeginningsMarie only reappears after discovering the truth behind Joe's death, revealing that it was in fact Justin Law, a fellow Death Weapon, who had committed the murder. It is then explained that her and Stein's long absence was due largely to the difficulty in discovering Justin's location. She firstly questions him about his reason for killing B.J., only receiving simply the reply that his "Soul Perception ability was too dangerous...the Kishin-sama was unable to rest easily". After hearing this and deducing that his next target was Maka, she charges towards him and hits him in the chest. It appears her attack has little effect but after extending part of her weapon from her fist, Justin is sent flying yet he still manages to recover in mid-air to land safely. Observing this ineffective result, Marie assumes her weapon form and both her and Stein go on the offensive. The resulting speed, caused by Marie's abilities, easily overwhelms Justin and forces him to retreat using an artifact. This leaves Marie and Stein in the desert outskirts of Death City, with nothing but the coffin Justin left behind.
After her group's infiltration of Noah's hideout, she, along with others, are quickly and violently beaten down by a combination of Noah's abilities in controlling the Book of Eibon and the power provided to him by Brew. Downed Justin Law casually walks over to her preaching some type of insane babble that could be a type of madness pray. Asking him to stop this Madness and how much can sin he can possibly live with she is quickly silenced by Justin as he strikes her face with his bladed arm. Her condition is unknown but she was seen to be alive after Spartoi escape from the book. However, after Stein and the others break free from Noah's creatures, she seems to be unconscious as Stein holds her, possibly monitoring her condition.
The Hunt
After the assault against Noah's group and the damage done to her by Justin Law's vicious attack, Marie made a full recovery from the battle. However, she also arrives to inform Maka and Black☆Star that, due to Crona attacking the Eastern European Branch of the the DWMA, killing the branches Death Weapon - the Demon Cannon Ball Tsar Prushka and his partner - along with destroying a city in the Ukraine, Crona has been added to Shinigami's target list and Spartoi have been issued orders to find and execute them.
Battle on the Moon
Versus Asura
Although Free inadvertently removes Marie and her peers to the Earth, missing their return to the Moon by a significant distance, Eruka Frog is able to use her Calculation Magic to locate Asura's position in the sky to put into Stein's mind. Stein then is able to aim and throw Marie in Lightning Rope form to within striking distance of Asura. While Stein's throw fails to connect, Marie retains enough autonomy to circle back around Asura three more times to hit him directly. However, Asura knocks Marie back into the atmosphere, and it is the combined work of Sid Barett and Akane☆Hoshi, wielding Spirit Albarn and Clay Sizemore respectively, to keep her from flying away.[9]
With her peers on the Moon's surface, Marie watches her students fight Asura. Thanks to the work of Maka and, from within Asura, Crona, Asura's Black Blood is expelled to form a barrier around the Moon to protect his exit. As Marie is still on the Moon with her peers, there is no time for Maka and her classmates to rescue Marie in time. With no hope of escape, Marie holds onto her fellow teachers and soldiers, waiting for the Black Blood to engulf her.[10]
However, thanks to the arrival of Maba and the Witch Judge, Marie is teleported off the Moon and back to the Death Weapon Meister Academy. She is shortly reunited with Maka and her students, with Maka running up to her (and past her own father) for a hug. While Marie comments how bruised Maka is from this battle against Asura, Maka (after noticing Marie's brests due to Crona's Madness from the Moon) can sense a second soul wavelength from Marie's body, confirming her pregnancy.[11]
At the coronation celebrating Kid's ascension as the new Shinigami, Marie and Stein receive thanks from Kid for her work as his teacher and in hope that she will continue to be his mentor. Marie says she is confident students like Kid and Black☆Star are sufficiently powerful to face all future threats, which will be necessary for the next generation. At that moment, Kid senses Marie's pregnancy. Stein then explains that he learned Marie was pregnant with their child before Death sent them to the Moon. While Stein opposed her presence on the mission due to her pregnancy, he could not convince her otherwise. Stein has to give up cigarettes during this pregnancy, but he is pleased to have a new "guinea pig," prompting Marie's annoyance.
- "Mjolnir" in her name is a reference to Thor's hammer from Norse mythology. The hammer was one of the most powerful weapons in the world, capable of crushing almost anything.[12]

Springer will begin publishing a new peer-reviewed journal, Neuroethics, in March 2008. Appearing three times a year, it will provide a forum for interdisciplinary studies in neuroethics and related issues in the sciences of the mind. Springer will offer free online access to the full text of all articles during 2008 and 2009.
Neuroethics will be an important communication medium in the ethics of neuroscience and the neuroscience of ethics. The journal will be highly inclusive in its scope, publishing articles with a historical focus on earlier philosophical discussions of neuroethics, as well as articles with a contemporary focus. Reflecting the diversity of the neuroscientific field, the journal will provide a multidisciplinary forum for scholars from a broad range of areas, including bioethics, social and cognitive psychology, psychiatry, neurology and neurosurgery, the cognitive sciences, philosophy and law. Neuroethics will publish research articles, discussion pieces, short communications, reviews of significant literature, information about current scholarly activities in the field and an opinions section for readers commentaries.
Fritz Schmuhl, Publishing Editor Bioethics & Ethics at Springer, said, With the launch of Neuroethics, Springer aims to provide a unified academic platform to foster rigorous debate on neuroscientific research and also to counterbalance fragmented representations on the ethical, legal, political and social implications of neuroscience.
Editor-in-chief Neil Levy of the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics, Melbourne, Australia and the University of Oxford, UK, said, Given the speed and significance of new developments in neuroscience, and the rapidity with which they are coming to be applied, reflection on the ethical and social implications of these developments is extremely important.

The link between cyber-bullying and an increase in violence among young women will be featured in a new book published in November.
Professor Kerry Carrington, head of Queensland University of Technology's School of Justice, has collected 45 years of data and can confirm, contrary to general academic opinion, young women are fast catching up to boys in violent crime.
Professor Carrington will present her findings, to be revealed in her book Offending Youth: Sex, Youth and Crime published this November, at a talk on Thursday, September 24 at 6pm, at Old Government House, Brisbane.
At the talk, Professor Carrington will discuss whether increases in cyber-bullying are related to increases in female delinquency and boys' continuing monopoly over sexually violent crimes.
The book also includes chapters on the over-representation of Indigenous youth in the juvenile justice system, dispelling unfounded myths and fears about ethnic youth gangs, and key contemporary patterns of delinquency and the response to these by juvenile justice agencies.
Professor Carrington said her data backed up anecdotal reports that violence among girls was increasing.
"There's been a long dispute whether it was happening, but this data shows a pattern of statistics that point to a clear trend," Professor Carrington said.
"And it is not just in Australia, but across Europe, the UK and US as well."
Professor Carrington said there were different theories about why this was the case, including treating girls' crime equally with boys' crime and increasing female participation in what used to be traditional masculine roles, but these did not adequately explain the recent sharp increase.
"Increases in violence began when girls began moving into drug and street cultures in the 1980s, but the most significant increases in violence was in the past decade," she said.

DanR added a post in a topic New board category suggestion - let me know your thoughtsAll fair points. I was just thinking that it might be nice to have a central location where kit specific tips can be compiled. It was just a thought, but it looks like opinions are already divided. Nevertheless, let's see if any of the admins chime in.
DanR added a topic in GeneralNew board category suggestion - let me know your thoughtsI have a suggestion for a new board category and I was wondering what others might think about it. Essentially, when we read kit reviews or articles on build-ups, the writer will often point out some kind of error in the instructions. Either there's a piece that should be put in earlier than the instruction's suggest, or there is unclear instruction on the placement of a part, and sometimes there are just build issues that can be avoided if you do the same model a 2nd time around, or have knowledge of the issue in advance. I'm sure that most everyone here is like me – we read about this, tell ourselves to remember that when we build the kit, and then forget years later and can't remember what magazine we saw it in.
I was thinking of a new category along the lines of something like "Errors And Corrections." The idea would be that each topic pertain to one specific kit by a given manufacturer and it contains the details of whatever problems a builder can expect to find. It would remain an easy to find reference and builders can add to a post with any additional tips, suggestions, recommendations, etc. when they finally get around to building the same kit. This way, if you've finally found that holy grail kit and it turns out you really shouldn't have pre-assembled the body prior to painting, you can check the board and save yourself a whole lot of misery. Let me know what you think!

A recent SEC-settled administrative action is another reminder of the SEC's focus on internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). Although prior SEC ICFR charges have been accompanied with allegations of false financial statements or violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, this SEC action only charges a former financial reporting executive with knowingly making false representations about his involvement in the design, maintenance, and operation of ICFR; his participation in the assessment of ICFR's effectiveness; and the nonexistence of significant deficiencies in ICFR.
These misrepresentations were made in reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed by QSGI Inc., certifications filed as exhibits to those reports, and statements made to auditors orally and in management representation letters, that is, letters provided by management to QSGI's auditors. The SEC's order requires the former executive to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Exchange Act Sections 10(b), 13(b)(2)(A), 13(b)(2)(B), and 13(b)(5) and Rules 10b-5, 13a-14, 13b2-1, and 13b2-2 promulgated thereunder. In addition, the order denies the former executive the privilege of appearing or practicing before the SEC as an accountant and orders the former executive to pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $23,000. The SEC is continuing its case against the CEO of the company related to the same matters.
The SEC's action was based on the following:
Other recent SEC enforcement actions including ICFR charges when financial statements are not also misstated include cases asserting violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the failure to establish appropriate controls relating to compliance with export control and economic sanctions laws.

, so it seems he didn't have time for a uniform change or he was still Captain as Spock believed. But Kirk specifically corrected him and seemed to be ok when Spock called him Commander.
Was Spock wearing the right insignia in that scene? Guess it's all moot as Marcus obviously reversed the demotion, but it'd be nice to get confirmation that the demotion occurred!
Spock was wearing a full commander's insignia. As
mentioned, Spock wasn't actually demoted, so this insignia was correct.
Lance wrote:
That he is demoted to executive officer of Enterprise is beyond doubt.
Although he acknowledges that his 'official' rank in that position is Commander, as Pike has been made Captain of the Enterprise again, maybe that doesn't necessarily mean that his
rank takes a hit. Maybe he can still technically be a Captain and yet also be an XO/Commander. His "spoken rank" is really only reflective of his position aboard the ship, at least for the 20 seconds that Pike has resumed the Captaincy anyway.
Pike was still wearing admiral's insignia at the meeting, too. We really don't know if they demoted Pike to captain, or were just going to have him command the
but retain his admiral rank. They technically could take away Kirk's command and still leave him ranked as a captain. But then why would Kirk correct Spock when Spock called him "captain"?
Interestingly, Spock is the
one that calls Kirk "Commander", and only after Kirk tells him to not call him captain. Pike and Marcus both speak to Kirk during the meeting, but neither refer to his rank.
King Daniel Into Darkness wrote:
Since Kirk presumably walked right out of Starfleet after being bumped back to the academy, then went straight from the bar to the emergency meeting, he didn't have time to requisition a new uniform.
Well, he went
between the bar and the meeting, because he was wearing civilian clothes in the bar. (Pike specifically told him to "suit up".) But yeah, you're right that he probably just grabbed the uniform he had available and didn't have time to requisition a new one.

Great, Durable Swim Brief
Royal Sz 30These are a poly-PBT blend. This blend does not appear that much different in feel or appearance from Lycra, but I do not doubt that they are sturdier and longer lasting if subject to heavy daily use. The main difference I see from a standard swimming brief is that these are fully lined front and rear with a black liner that has a little Lycra the blend in the liner. One thing that surprised me is that the sides were much narrower than I would have expected for a water polo brief. I was expecting 3-inch sides. These are essentially identical in side width to the Sporti Euro which has about 1 1/2 inch sides. The 30 " waist size I am comparing here measures about an extra half inch versus the Sporti Euro. However, the real difference between this suit and the Sporti Euro-cut brief, size-wise is that this brief measures almost two inches longer than the Euro brief, which means that there is much more room or the suit will fit considerably higher at the waist than the Euro-cut brief with the same side width would. This brief is a great deal for someone looking to do daily lap swimming and has had experiences quickly wearing out the Lycra blend suits. Or for a guy who likes the look of the narrow-side Euro-cut design but has been reluctant to try the Sporti Euro because he wants or requires more room to fit everything comfortably.. These should be very sturdy, and even if the outer layer does become a bit transparent as the suit wears (tho the PBT/Poly should minimize that as well) will not matter since there is the full black liner. And some guys will appreciate the fact that they are a narrower, more revealing cut the familiar royal blue Speedo, but still appear modest enough to wear basically anywhere. This this is a really sturdy training type suit for the serious swimmer-athlete at a bargain price.

Totally Satisfied!
The suit is great, have worn it to wrestle and is comfortable.Especially like how it moves with my body, doesn't slide down orbunch up when I am wrestling. Can't wait to get another one.Dave
Good construction, seat too small!
Do all male swimmers have flat butts?I don't have huge glutes, probably medium. But seems like all of the briefs nowadays have the same problem. Too much material in front, not enough in back. Most are far too high-waisted, so I try a lower-cut suit. But the low-waisted ones have small seats! I'd like a low waist with some rear coverage please!

Sporti Men's Water Polo Brief
For the price, this brief is really nice. It is lined front and back. It is narrow on the sides, but it covers in the back-no cracks! It isn't as thick as the expensive briefs, but will do the job! It is very light weight and doesn't restrict movement at all. If you're joining the sport for the first time, this is the one for you! These are quite inexpensive. If you order speedy delivery, beware of the Fed-ex-our suit arrived with the bag torn open. The brief was fine, though.
Riverside, CA
snug as a bug
I am never sure whether to get 32"s or 34"s in swim briefs. Based on reviews, I bought these in 32, and the Splice suit in 34. After trying on both suits, at first I thought I had made a mistake. The Splice fit perfectly, but these felt too small. But after wearing them both I realized these are meant to fit snug. They look good that way. As others have said, the lining and fabric make them less revealing up front than lycra. That said, because of the cut, I am showing a bit more of my lower back than I would like. (And I do not have a big butt!) So if that is a concern for you, don't get these. To sum it up, this is an attractive and durable suit, with the snuggness and fabric making it slightly less comfortable than lycra/nylon suits.
Sacramento, CA
A very comfrontable and practical suit.
I really like the fit of this suit, very similar to the euro style(narrow sides) but much more comfrontable and seems to be perfect for my water aerobics classes,I have noticed most men in the class wear the polo style suit. I bought the royal and will probably be back for the black and navy(more colors ,please)! The skimper cut is also great for tanning.I like the polyester material,feels like it would hold up well in the chlorinated pools.My girlfriend love the look of it so well she joined the class with me.
Same quality at less than half the price
regardless of the manufacturer I always buy the Poly/PBT blend of brief because they wear forever. I really like the Turbo Water Polo line of men's suits for their fabric, super patterns and briefer cut but at nearly $40 they are pricey. I decided to try the Sporti Water Polo suit and found I like it just as much and for less than half the price. Same fabric, same briefer cut but the right amount of coverage. Best value out there. I take a 30 in Speedo and TYR, same for Sporti.

Fits good, Should last a long time
I wear this swim brief for water aerobics four hours a week. i always rinse it out after each use and it still looks and feels like new. I usually wear a 34 and this suit in a 34 fits just right with good coverage. Great price and service from the Swim Outlet
Novi, MI
Great Suit Great Buy
I have always been pleased with Sporti products from Swim-Outlet and this is no exception. I previously have used Sporti Euro briefs, and these are similar and I like the cut. Also a great buy. Will buy more. More colors would be nice.
Raymond W.
Sporti Water Polo Brief
Use this suit for lap swimming. Decided to give it a try next to the Sporti Euro Brief. The fit and wear are superior, especially at the price. The extra lining gives more durability to the suit. I won't know if the slight increase in price for the durability makes this superior for lap swimming over the Euro Brief until I've worn it over time, but it's obvious to me water polo players will appreciate the value of this suit given it's extremely competitive price with great quality.
Hilliard, OH
Great suit
This is an excellent suit that I wear for lap swimming on a daily basis, usually under a drag suit. It's durable and comfortable. I wish it came in more colors.
Pablo D.
Philadelphia, PA
Very sturdy swim briefs
I use these briefs for everyday lap swimming. I really enjoy using the Sporti Euro Brief, the water polo brief is similar in style but made with different materials.The water polo brief is slightly higher rise than the Euro brief. It is comfortable to wear when dry and wet but, I don't personally care for the rough feeling of the polyester. The polyester, water polo, brief might be longer lasting than Lycra briefs but, I think I'll stick to the soft smooth feeling of Lycra Swim briefs.

Best Swim Brief Deal EVER!
I've been a swim brief junkie for 40 years! I normally wear a 36 in most brands but took to the old Sporti Euro-Cut briefs (second generation) in their size 38. These PBT briefs are great in my normal old size of 36. These fit absolutely perfectly! They offer minimal coverage without being indecent in the least. They're great for laps, beach time and fun with the family at the pool. They are comfortably snug, but the material is not quite as show-through as that of so many lycra briefs in solid colors. Sporti- Make these in more colors/patterns! I'll buy more.
Loves to Swim
A great product!
Sporti makes great quality gear at incredibly reasonable prices (best I've seen). These waterpolo briefs work! They fit very well and allow great motion. i just wish Sporti/Swimoutlet expand on their colour palette and offer more cool colours (to match team/club/school colours like gold, silver, orange, sky blue, or olive/green etc etc) But the swimwear is ideal for the novice to expert in the pool, at the lake or seaside.

Excellent Suit
This suit is the equal or better in quality of any big name brand suit that I have used.Used for regular training indoors, chlorinated pool, in alternation with some other suits. So this one gets used 2-3 hours per week. (For other purposes I prefer a jammer, boxer, or drag suit.)For this purpose I prefer a polyester training suit for longevity; and brevity for quick drying and comfort. After a spin in the suitmate extractor, this suit is dry before I leave the locker room. While this suit is too new for me to comment, polyester suits of this and other brands typically do not fade except for the seam threads. Neither do they stretch to the point of non-fit and see-through. I do wash and rinse it with shower soap and cool water after each use.I measure between sizes and therefore always vacillate whether to go too big or too small. For this and any side-seam suit I go small to avoid wet bagginess. For a suit with a crotch seam I go big to avoid the wedgy effect. The dry fit of this suit is tight, but wet the suit is perfect, secure and comfortable.The cut of this suit compares with the Sporti Euro lycra Brief. It is minimal without sacrificing propriety.The only suggestion I could make to improve this suit would be to print the label on, instead of sewing in the old-style tag label.
Awesome Water Polo Brief!
This water polo brief is briefer than most, and it is awesome! It allows more freedom and movement in the water, especially for me since I am a goalkeeper in training and need to eggbeater and move around in any direction at a moment's notice.It is lower cut around the waist, has narrow sides, offers minimal coverage in the front and rear, and provides proper coverage and support. This is a sign of water polo briefs to come!
Boston, MA
Great product!
Great fit! Feels good!
Riverside, ca
Good suit
Durable, comfortable and reasonably priced; this is surely a good buy. The fabric is sturdy and hold sup well. The fit is a bit snug, but that's better than baggy.
Excellent fit!
Was skeptical of the sizing for a water polo suit, but this suit fits better than those that are literally twice the price. Construction is very good, and the drawstring is not annoying. I highly recommend this suit for any water activity, or sunbathing.
Golden, CO
Good fit. Great suit.
I'm happy with this suit. For the price it was a good deal so I got the royal and navy blue colors! It fits snug and isn't baggy in the water. It is a little higher than the Sporti Euro, but still keeps a fairly minimal cut in the legs so it doesn't restrict movement at all. On the negative side: it's not as snug as water polo suits from other brands I've worn. It stretches more than I thought it would being made of polyester instead of spandex. I got a 28 which is true to size for me. More colors and prints would be real nice too!

Remember Me
The Allman Brothers Band presented their fifth sold-out performance of the month at the
Beacon on Friday as part of the group's 14-show March Madness residency. "Wasted Words"
turned up
just three songs into the first set marking the first time the Allmans have performed the
Brothers & Sisters hit since March 19, 2010 at the United Palace Theatre.
capably delivered the vocals of his song, while Derek Trucks showed off his impressive
slide skills throughout "Wasted Words." The first set also contained the run's first
"Gambler's Roll" and another take on the recently busted out "True Gravity."
"Melissa" kicked off a second set that continued with guest drummer James van der Bogert
joining in on "Blue Sky." The improv-heavy closing stanza also included lengthy takes on
"Black Hearted Woman" and "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" (20+ minutes!) as well as the
run's second versions of recent bust outs "Get On With Your Life" and "Seven Turns." Duane
Trucks lent a hand behind the kit on the evening's "One Way Out" encore.
Down in Brooklyn Soulive were holding court for Night Two of this year's Bowlive
residency. By the time the night was over fans had witnessed three sets and more than
three hours of music from the trio and their special guests. Soulive's guests on Friday
night were famed bassist George Porter Jr., vocalist Nicki Bluhm (making her first Bowlive
appearance) and Haynes, who jetted down from the Beacon to participate in the band's third
set. Highlights included a performance of Bluhm's "Little Too Late," Porter Jr. and Bluhm
leading the ensemble through "Piece Of My Heart," a cover of The
Meters's "Pungee" and third set takes on "How Sweet It Is," "He Bite Me (The Dragon)" and
the second-ever Soulive version of a Grateful Dead song - "Sugaree." Tonight's Bowlive
show, featuring a special "LONDON SOULIVE" set, will be webcast live.

"From wherever you stood, the opposing side offered respectable, credible views. In today's fractured culture the evening struck a blow for civility."
- The Huffington Post
April 22, 2014
On one recent night, the Intelligence Squared U.S. debate series put forth a motion on Columbia University's campus: "More Clicks, Fewer Bricks: The Lecture Hall Is Obsolete." This is heavily contested territory, as both the setting and the style of the debate reflected. Columbia itself is the owner of quite a few nice-looking bricks, but, only last month, the university signalled its intention to start producing online courses. The Intelligence Squared events are inspired by traditional Oxford debates, decided by the votes of the audience, but they're judged electronically. The points and counterpoints were streamed and tweeted live, but in tone the evening still evoked the charm of a winsome classroom professor: percussive jazz-fusion tracks piped in before, friendly anecdotes during, and a reception, in lieu of office hours, after.
April 22, 2014
Have you ever had a moment when you heard an argument that made you examine a long-held belief?
I had a moment like that recently when listening to an NPR Intelligence Squared podcast on college admissions. Intelligence Squared is a high-quality product, as the debate is civil, fact-heavy, and performed with great skill. In other words, it's everything that cable news is not, sort of like reading the best of the college football internet as opposed to relying on Holtz and May to analyze team strength.
April 03, 2014
As higher education evolves, has the lecture hall model become obsolete? In a debate hosted by Intelligence Squared on the campus of Columbia University, two teams of academic experts squared off to settle that question.
March 20, 2014
The intellectual case for preferences is looking increasingly shaky. Last month, a packed auditorium at Harvard Law School featured an Intelligence Squared U.S. debate on whether "affirmative action does more harm than good." Harvard professor Randall Kennedy, the author of the book For Discrimination, and Columbia professor Ted Shaw, the former head of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, argued that diversity is an important and noble goal that universities must pursue. UCLA professor Richard Sander, author of the book Mismatch, and University of San Diego professor Gail Heriot, a commissioner on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, presented statistics from over 20 peer-reviewed studies that showed how the good intentions of affirmative-action supporters have had disastrous results.
March 04, 2014
What if affirmative action actually hurts minorities?
Badger Pundit has the rundown on a debate at Harvard Law School over the proposition in the title of this post, Epic smackdown of affirmative action at Harvard — following debate, audience's opposition rises nearly a third.
It's a discussion that people on campuses don't like to have. Good for Harvard Law School for hosting such a debate with well-qualified speakers arguing each side. Too often the argument against affirmative action is denegrated as racism.
A speaker in favor of the proposition argued that affirmative action is an "epic policy failure" because it actually hurts — not helps — minority achievement through lower graduation and professional accomplishment rates.
February 28, 2014
A panel featuring Harvard Law School professor Randall L. Kennedy and others debated the pros and cons of affirmative action Thursday evening at the Law School's Ames Court Room.
Arguing that affirmative action does more harm than good, University of San Diego Law professor Gail Heriot and University of California, Los Angeles Law professor Richard H. Sander asserted that affirmative action reduces the percentage of minorities who succeed at selective academic institutions.
On the opposing side, Columbia Law School professor Theodore M. Shaw and Kennedy argued in favor of affirmative action as a means of advancing university goals while benefitting the educational experiences of all students.
February 28, 2014
Intelligence Squared presented a very lively debate last night at Harvard Law School — "Resolved: Affirmative Action On Campus Does More Harm Than Good." Arguing for the motion were Gail Heriot, professor of law, University of San Diego School of Law and member, U.S. Commission on Civil Rights; and Richard Sander, professor of law, UCLA School of Law. Arguing against the motion were Randall Kennedy, professor of law, Harvard Law School; and Theodore Shaw, professor of law, Columbia Law School.
The debate largely focused on Rick Sander's empirical work, which tends to show that affirmative action actually harms its intended beneficiaries. Regular readers will recall that Rick guest-blogged about this provocative work two years ago.
It was particularly striking to see this prominent debate on the Harvard Law School campus–since, ironically, it can often seem, on elite campuses, that the very topic of affirmative action on campus is taboo.
November 06, 2011
A recent Intelligence Squared debate tackled the proposition that "Too Many Kids Go to College." Arguments in favor: the cost of higher education is rising out of proportion to its value; it stifles entrepreneurial creativity (because Plan B is to found a million dollar software company, natch); and the bachelor's degree is a "false credential" that doesn't accurately signal what a college graduate knows and can do. Arguments against: Post-secondary education is the best hedge against poverty, unemployment, and dead-end jobs.
October 25, 2011
The value of a college education is under attack. While more U.S. students are enrolled than ever before, a perfect storm of soaring costs, rising student debt and shrinking job prospects have led critics to increasingly challenge whether college remains a worthwhile investment. Among those leading the attack is PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, who charges that higher education has become a dangerous bubble.
October 18, 2011
"True or false: too many kids go to college." That was how John Donvan, an ABC News correspondent, began a debate last week about the necessity of an undergraduate degree.
October 16, 2011
The Intelligence Squared Foundation, which hosts and televises Oxford-style debates in New York, recently made its Chicago debut on Oct. 12 with the premise that "too many kids go to college."
October 13, 2011
Paypal founder and Facebook angel investor Peter Thiel appeared in the Windy City as a part of Chicago Ideas Week, offering his views on the local tech scene, why a college education is unnecessary and Groupon's pending IPO.
October 13, 2011
So, here is my challenge to you: Why don't you put your money and energy behind your convictions? If you indeed believe that we are headed for disaster, please work on averting it. Early in your career, you revolutionized the global exchange of currency by founding PayPal. You helped change the world by financing Facebook. The world is ripe for another revolution — this time in education. Technology has advanced so much over the last two decades that we can virtually change the way we educate.
October 13, 2011
Last night audience members at the first ever Intelligence Squared U.S. debate in Chicago, "Too Many Kids Go to College," gave a victory to the team arguing for this resolution. By the end of the debate Peter Thiel and Charles Murray convinced 8% of the audience to change their minds to support the motion, thus winning the Oxford style debate.
October 13, 2011
The nice thing about a debate—a real debate with points and counterpoints—is that at the end, there's a declared winner. In this case, the winner was: "Yes, too many kids go to college." The debate was the first-ever Chicago dust-up held by Intelligence Squared U.S. (IQ2US), an Oxford-style debate program, headquartered in New York City (and based on a similar London program), that spars over topics from clean energy to the Middle East.
September 30, 2011
We are in a knowledge economy and face brutal competition from all over the world. The weapons in these battles are education and innovation. We certainly need to get the cost of education under control and improve its effectiveness and quality. But if we say that education isn't worthwhile and that children shouldn't complete bachelors degrees, we lose.
April 18, 2010
Seeking to change their image of intransigence in defending every last job of every teacher, the unions maintain that they share the goal of improving schools and turning out better-educated students. The most recent Intelligence Squared U.S. debate, on March 16, went to the heart of this issue, tackling the topic "Don't blame teachers unions for our failing schools."
March 29, 2010
Are teachers unions to blame for failing schools? This was the question debated last week on NPR's Intelligence Squared. At the beginning of the debate, less than half the audience believed teachers unions should be faulted for poor-performing schools, but by the close of the program, an astonishing 68 percent believed school employee unions contributed to the problem.
March 17, 2010
On Tuesday, March 16th, the LinkEd team was able to participate in the Intelligence Squared Debate: Don't Blame Teachers Unions for Our Failing Schools. We were not sure what to expect from the evening, but were pleasantly surprised by a true debate: two teams of three pitted against each other fighting to win the crowds vote for or against the motion 'don't blame teachers unions for our failing schools'.
March 16, 2010
While acknowledging other factors that contribute to the challenges in American education, the team arguing against the motion convinced most in the audience that improvement needed to start with reform of the powerful teachers unions.

- Food Bank Week Begins
GMO Corn Is Slowly Killing Everyone, Study Suggests
Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
Right as a California initiative to label all genetically modified foods is stirring up some controversy, a study published on Wednesday links genetically modified corn with cancer symptoms.
Researchers at the University of Caen fed rats a lifetime diet of Monsanto's genetically modified corn, which was made resistant to the weed killer Roundup, and found that the rats eventually developed tumors and multiple organ damage.
In fact, rats on the genetically modified diet specifically suffered from mammary tumors, plus liver and kidney damage. Of this group, 50 percent of males and 70 percent of females died prematurely. In the control group, however, only 30 percent of males and 20 percent of females died prematurely.
So naturally, we're thinking we should avoid genetically modified foods from now on because we really like our mammary glands and all. But New Scientist examined the study and found some reasons why we should doubt it. The strain of rats used, they point out, usually gets breast tumors easily. Five of the control rats (25 percent), also got tumors and died, while 60 percent in "some test groups" suffered the same. "Some other test groups, however, were healthier than the controls," the article says.
Furthermore, the researchers refused to allow journalists to get outside comments on the paper before publication. And while this was the first study focusing on the rats' entire lifespan, most studies cap off at two years, which is, you know, kind of as long as rats live.

But Abel, though a treble, was a rascal and a rebel,
fond of getting into trouble when he didn't have to sing.
His nefarious intentions and a pebble in his sling are counteracted by quick thinking on the part of Mabel, Tybal, Greville, and the jogger (christened Neville). How do they do it? You'll have to read the book to find out about what the people there still prattle (there is lots of tittle-tattle).
