For a brief moment a few weeks ago, we thought our daughter and her deadbeat boyfriend were going to break up. They were on the phone for well over an hour and were arguing about her going away to college a year from now. He was in Florida, where he was supposedly looking for a community college to attend. If they didn't break up that night, then we were hoping he would stay down there and eventually forget about her.
But unfortunately for us, his terrible grades kept him from being accepted into any school and his family brought him back here. Rats! Now Deadbeat Boyfriend is back to torment us by stealing our daughter's concentration and focus on school, gymnastics, cheer, and even her own family. He's nineteen years old, unemployed, and not going to school anywhere, so he presents an enormous distraction for her.
He's been back less than a week now and has already been working his ugly black magic on our daughter. Within two days of returning to her school schedule this past week, she decided to skip gymnastics practice and spend the afternoon and evening with him. She never bothered to tell her gymnastics coach she wasn't coming to practice and was thrilled when she thought she fooled us into thinking she had been there.
My husband and I warned her that the next time she skipped gymnastics practice or a cheer event to spend time with Deadbeat, their relationship would be over. (She did both last year- multiple times- so the fact that it's happening again doesn't please us at all.) We feel as though we're giving her the opportunity to make choices with appropriate consequences.
As with last year, we fully expect her to screw up and make the wrong choice- again. She proved to us more than once that she has trouble learning from her mistakes. I just hope my husband follows through with his threat to put an end to their relationship, especially where it involves him calling Deadbeat's parents and telling them the relationship is over. That's something I'd love to see! So in a twisted sort of way, I hope our daughter isn't any smarter this year than she was last year….

Google announced Friday that they have secured the purchase of Admeld. The New-York based business that was founded in 2008 assists Internet publishers to realize larger revenues by managing display ads from hundreds of sources and ad networks. Admeld carries an impressive client list including Fox News, and the Weather Channel.
After a five-month investigation, the $400 million acquisition of Admeld was cleared once antitrust concerns arising from the purchase were alleviated.
The acquisition was granted once a detailed analysis was completed that was able to show that Admeld's competitors were secure enough to offer companies alternative methods in advertise, Bloomberg reported. The U.S. Department of Justice sanctioned the deal allowing Google to close the acquisition within the next few days.
The purchase of Admeld by Google follows a string of recent acquisitions in an effort by the search giant to diversify new services and advertising sources. Bloomberg noted that Google has made 57 acquisitions of intangible assets during the first three quarters of this year.
This move will further strengthen Google's display advertising ambitions. Accounting for 9.3 percent of online display spending (up from 8.3 percent in 2010), Google trails market share leader Facebook (16 percent) and Yahoo (13 percent), according to eMarketer.
Google generates almost all of its income from online advertising. The purchase of Admeld will most certainly allow Google to realize a continued increase in revenues. Google's sales (excluding partners) rose to $7.51 billion during the third quarter of this year.
"The key synergy will involve the DoubleClick Ad Exchange. Many supply side platforms, including … Admeld, have begun acting like exchanges – pooling display inventory in marketplaces and supporting the sale of that ad space to the highest bidder, often with the help of third-party data. By integrating Admeld's platform with DoubleClick's DART for Publishers product, Google stands to introduce more volume into that exchange," ClickZ noted.

Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones Season 3: Will We See Robb Stark Again?
Game of Thrones Season 3, Episode 9: "The Rains of Castamere" saw the demise of Robb Stark and his mother Cat — a heartbreaking loss for many fans. But is it possible we'll see Robb again, if not alive then at least in flashbacks, or something like that?
Well, based on the books, we probably will see him once more — but it's only going to make his fans more upset.
In the book series, after murdering Robb and Cat, the Freys toss Cat's body in a river (in a mockery of the Tully funeral ceremony that we saw earlier this season). As for Robb ... well, they cut off his head and sew Grey Wind's on in its place. Yes, really.
The image of Robb with his head replaced by his direwolf's is an understandably memorable one, and we have a feeling the show writers will work it into the series. But as for Robb rising again in some other form ... sorry, but based on the books so far, you're out of luck. (Cat, on the other hand...)
Are you looking forward to seeing this gruesome image on screen, or are you hoping the show will leave it out?
Get more Game of Thrones spoilers here.
Catch the Game of Thrones Season 3 finale on Sunday, June 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

Oct. 24, 2003
The Bulldogs dropped a non-league match to host Miami, 3-0, Friday afternoon. The loss drops the Bulldogs to 7-7-2 on the season, while the RedHawks improve to 6-8-2. Neither of Butler's shots were on goal as Miami dominated all 90 minutes of play.
Laura Freel tallied a goal for the RedHawks in the 27th minute. Ashley Swinehart followed with a score five minutes later and Kate Padfield finished off the Miami scoring with a goal in the 84th minute. Kathleen Vistica had two assists on the afternoon for the RedHawks.
Freshman Megan Cappa got the start in goal for the Bulldogs, making five saves and allowing the first two Miami goals in one half of action. Katie Sanders played the final 45 minutes in goal for the Bulldogs, making three saves and allowing the final RedHawk goal. Emily Smith played all 90 minutes in goal for Miami, registering the shutout.
"At no point were we really in this match," said coach Woody Sherwood. "Miami took it to us from the start. There have only been three teams all season that have clearly handled us and Miami is one of those.
"We'll definitely need to play better to be successful against Detroit Sunday."
The Bulldogs return home Sunday to host Detroit in the teams' Horizon League regular season finale. The match begins at noon at Varsity Field. Butler is tied with Detroit and UW-Green Bay for second place in the league standings at 3-2. With a win, the Bulldogs would secure the No. 2 seed in the league tournament.
Sunday will also be "Senior Day" at Varsity Field as seniors Annie Doerr, Amy Pike, Krista Rott and Amber Stauch will be honored for their contributions over the past four years.

Sam Owens – How To Build a Clock
Recorded in 2010 in Sam Owens' kitchen, between the wails of the next door neighbor's baby, How To Build A Clock is not the first full length album, but it is the only one of four currently available.
A designer and painter (lookout for his exhibition with friend Matt Maust of Cold War Kids in NYC later this month), the work on his website shows that his eye is as keen as his ear, but let's just focus on this folksy piece of work for now.
What Goes Into Building A Clock
'See You' starts off like an atmospheric film soundtrack, reminiscent in part of Bernard Herrmann's haunting theme for Taxi Driver. With chimes and rolling percussion (I believe that's a washing machine being played, not the kettle drums), it's a little poppier when it kicks off, but beautiful nonetheless.
'It Takes Time' and 'That's No Way To Leave' both have an endearing Beatles vocal quality. Employing a simple melody over railroad rhythms and sounds suggesting of rail work, 'Waiting For The Train' has a very welcoming tone, and is neither the first nor last track to feature organ and bells – bleeding into the dreamy 'What Was His Name.'
The title single, 'How To Build A Clock' is available for free download and is by far the most likely to receive radio play due to its perfect balance of pop and bittersweet soul.
'Sad Day Guitar (Variation II)', again, sounds like a soundtrack, but this time to a murder mystery – If you're not already streaming the full album from up above (which you should), you can hear a short section set to visuals in this promo.
Now for my favourite track. Keeping with Sam's whittling of something grand from bare-bones, 'Testify' is simple, sweet and sincere – much like the triple time apologetic follow on, 'So Sorry'.
Not the first song on this LP to make me think of The Black Keys, 'Red Is The Color' is terrific. If it were my blues rock creation, however, I'd have let some tardy fuzzed out guitar sit in the back, not disturbing the rest.
If 'Another Day' and 'That's No Way To Leave' were to end off the album I'd be happy, but 'Bicycle In The Wood' returns us to the very beginning after an imaginative journey.
What's To Like This Record?
Like the Resident Scout album reviewed recently, it's a testament to what one talented man can do. While each of the 12 stops along the way has it's own sound, it doesn't deviate in character or become tedious.
Sam is currently working on a new EP which we will hopefully review when it is released.

Lenmar PowerPort Slim PPU2400B Review
Lenmar PowerPort Slim PPU2400B reviews are hard to come by. Reviews for a similar model, the PPU2100B, are mixed. On Buzzillions, users posting PowerPort Slim PPU2100B reviews deem it long-lasting and reliable. They cite charging speed as one of its pros, along with its light weight and compact build; one says the charger is well-made and another calls the quality outstanding. But a third PowerPort Slim PPU2100B review says the cord is flimsy and a fourth says the tips break. In several PowerPort Slim PPU2100B reviews, users also report it fails to power up their devices. When one disgruntled consumer sought a replacement unit, according to a PowerPort Slim PPU2100B review on Epinions, Lenmar said the swap would take four to six weeks and the user had to pay for shipping.
In terms of power, the 2,400 mAh lithium ion battery in the Lenmar PowerPort Slim PPU2400B (starting at $24, Amazon) bests all the mobile device chargers we researched but for the I-Up 5400. Like most such products, the Lenmar PowerPort Slim recharges via USB. This charger comes with only two tips, mini-USB and micro-USB, the latter set to become the standard for mobile phones in the U.S. by 2012. You can also plug your own Apple charging cable directly into this cheap mobile device charger's USB port to revive an iPhone or iPod. To find out whether the PowerPort Slim PPU2400B is compatible with your devices, you can visit Lenmar's BatteryCentral site.
With only reviews for another Lenmar model to go on, we can't say how well the PPU2400B performs, so we don't include it among our good and best mobile device chargers. The Lenmar PowerPort Slim PPU2400B comes with a one-year warranty.

According to Kurtis, free-range cattle feeding on grass in the pasture from birth to harvest, free of hormones and antibiotics, result in a health food -- beef with more concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids and ALA (alpha linolenic acid). And, it reduces environmental stress.
Also with us will be Jim Barrasso, owner of Firefly Grill and Wine Bar in Encinitas. On April 3, the restaurant will hold a wine pairing dinner they're calling "Celebration of Artichokes 2008."
Finally, our good friend Mike Mitchell of Oceanaire will be in studio to give us an update on dining hotspots around town.

It's not just any old Friday on this week's Gourmet Club (not that it ever is...). It's Leap Day of a Leap Year and we're packing in a lot of content to make the most of the extra day this month.
Joining us in studio is Chuck Samuelson, the leader of VinVillage-San Diego. He'll fill us in on his new wine-oriented social networking site as well as his new catering company, Chuck Samuelson Catering.
Later in the hour, Kim Barnouin, co-author with Rory Freedman of the books Skinny Bitch and Skinny Bitch in the Kitch, will offer some straight talk about making intelligent and educated decisions about food.
And, as if that weren't enough, our good friend Mike Mitchell of Oceanaire is going to give us an update on dining hotspots around town. We'll also talk about the upcoming "Passport to Sonoma Valley" weekend coming up May 17th and 18th with one of the event's representatives.
It's a full plate for one hour.

Red, White and Drunk All Over - Download
It's all about wine on Friday's show. We're going to have two very interesting guests to talk about the art and science of pairing food and wine.
Natalie MacLean, author of Red, White and Drunk All Over, has a really helpful wine-and-food matcher on her website that not only offers suggestions for the type of wine, but even specific wines that work with a particular dish. MacLean has won four James Beard Foundation Journalism Awards for her writing on drinks, including the MFK Fisher Distinguished Writing Award, in memory of one of America's greatest food writers.
John Alonge, co-owner of the San Diego Wine & Culinary Center, will be with us in studio for the entire show. Located downtown, across from the Convention Center at 200 Harbor Drive, Suite 120, the Center holds tastings for the public five days a week (including Wednesday night K-9's-N-Wine for dog owners and their pups), offers cooking classes and special events. We'll learn all about the Center and local wines from Alonge.

Oxbow Carbon LLC has owned and operated an underground coal mine in the heart of Colorado's historic coal mining region for over two decades. Located in the town of Somerset, on the banks of the Gunnison River, Oxbow Mining LLC, a division of Oxbow Carbon LLC, has operated the Elk Creek Coal Mine. In the past, the mine has produced nearly 4 million tons annually of low-ash, low mercury super-compliant bituminous coal for the domestic and international power markets. The Oxbow mine is currently idled due to a seismic event in 2012-13. The mine remains closed for the foreseeable future.
Using state-of-the-art long wall technology, the Elk Creek Mine employed more than 200 people, many of them second and third generation miners, and supported another 1000 local vendors. Oxbow Mining LLC has received numerous industry awards for environmental reclamation work. Working with the Aspen Ski Company, Oxbow unveiled a state-of-the-art electrical generation project that converts waste methane gas into usable electrical power. The methane capture project remains active despite the idling of the long wall operations.

I posted this over at CR, and got some
interesting answers.
At what point, do you NOT ride your classic,collectable
vintage bike?
Do you ride a Confente (only 135 made)?
A mint 1967 Masi?
A fully restored museum quality P10 Paramount?
I'm really curious here. Of course we can add
"historic" bikes (Fausto's 1952 TdF winning Bianchi)
and really muddy the waters.
Ok, whats your thought?

At the top of the nave on the left hand side of the aisle is a pew which was at one stage reserved for members of the British royal family who visited the Cathedral. A wooden carving of a lion and a unicorn either side of a crest marks the seats as different from the rest. The seats were used on several occasions by either current or future monarchs including Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, and Edward VI. When a member of the royal family was not present the Viceroy/Lord Lieutenant would represent the crown in their place.
Since Irish independence the pew has assumed a new role as the State Pew and is reserved for the President of Ireland. Although there is no formal arrangement in place, generally the President visits the Cathedral at least once a year to attend the annual Remembrance Sunday Service. The pew is always left vacant when the President (or his/her representative) is not present in the building.
Today many emblems and monuments mark the building's connection to famous visitors to the building. The State Pew's history is marked by the presence of both its former use and its current. Behind the wooden carving (marking the presence of the British Royal family) there is now a gold harp on an azure blue background which indicates that it is used by the Irish President.
In the south aisle there are also monuments to two Irish Presidents whose funerals were held in Saint Patrick's Cathedral. They were Douglas Hyde in 1949, the first President of Ireland, and Erskine Childers in 1974, who died just one year into his term of office. Both men were members of the Church of Ireland. At the time of Douglas Hyde's funeral, the rules of the Roman Catholic Church were so strict that the members of the Irish government felt they could not attend the service, as this would involve entering a Protestant building. Therefore they waited outside and did not join into the ceremonies until the funeral procession had left the Cathedral on its way to the graveyard.
Monument for two presidents whose funerals were held in the Cathedral.

In December 2009, China launched an attack on Google and other companies, prompting Google to remove the censors from Chinese search results and eventually pull out of the country altogether. The attack made worldwide headlines and persuaded defense officials to visit "cyber-terrorism" as a legitimate threat.
In September the US Department of Defense proposed policy that required contractors to put in safe guards to protect against such attacks as well as provide better tracking abilities. The attacks on Google were tracked back to IP addresses that pointed to Chinese government and state offices.
New reports are surfacing from the US-China Economic Aid and Security Review Commission that internet traffic was diverted from .gov and .mil sites for 18 minutes in April and was rerouted through servers located in China. These diversions included traffic from the sites of the four branches of the military, NASA, the office of the Secretary of Defense, and NOAA – just to name a few. Commercial traffic was also rerouted as well, with companies like Dell and Yahoo! reporting that their traffic was also rerouted. It's not known if the incident was an accident caused by the reported "incorrect signal sent by China Telecom" or if it was a malicious attack. It is also unknown what China Telecom did with this information.
To some, the recent attacks are nothing more than a reflection of the design of the internet and a "hole" that someone was able to take advantage of. Others feel that it's a report designed to allow for the federal government to extend more control over internet security, with some speculating a similar "Great FireWall of China" here in the United States.
As tensions continue to rise between the two technologically advanced countries, and with China now home to the world's top super computer, the Tianhe-1A, moving the American Jaguar system to second place, it's apparent that the Chinese and the Americans will continue to volley power and accusations back and forth, and security protocols will change and evolve on both sides.

Indie developer Vlambeer was robbed at E3, according to Rami Ismail, co-founder of the company. The Ridiculous Fishing developer claims that a backpack was stolen on early Thursday morning from the Figueroa Hotel pool bar, a popular hangout for developers. That backpack contained laptop, two iPads, a PlayStation Vita, a Vita test kit, a Kindle Fire, various connectors and cables, and code for Vlambeer's upcoming game Luftrauser.
"Basically everything Vlambeer is in the bag," he said. "So it kind of feels like Vlambeer got stolen. We have good backups. We take good care of everything, We've got decent backups to continue working. It's just a giant pain."
Ismail said that when he called police to tell them about the theft, they asked him if he was there for the convention. Apparently thieves had been targeting E3 attendees and other people had reported similar thefts.
"They actually mentioned that it was likely people had been targeting people that were at the convention."
Polygon also suffered a theft at its E3 booth. Someone had stolen a backpack with camera equipment. It seems that thieves had also targeted people inside the convention center. Security never recovered Polygon's belongings.
Entertainment Software Association officials did warn press at the event that several cameras had been stolen from the press room and to keep an eye on equipment. Following the announcement, security for the convention started checking photo IDs.

Sarah mostly enjoyed her pediatric patients and soon moved to a pediatric dentist office full time. She enjoys the opportunity of teaching children, and their parents, how to prevent tooth decay in order to lead healthier, fuller lives in a fun and kid friendly environment. Sarah has been a member of the American Dental Hygienist Association and the Texas Dental Hygienist Association since 2003.

Now, Jodi enjoys giving back to her community by volunteering for fluoride varnish days which provide under-served children with dental exams and a fluoride treatment. Jodi also visits local elementary schools teaching children about their teeth, and what to expect when going to the dentist. She does this in hopes to improve oral hygiene in children, as well as alleviate any anxiety children may have about visiting the dentist.
Before attending hygiene school, Jodi played collegiate soccer at Southern Methodist University, and still enjoys playing in a women's league today.

Vanderpump Rules
Jax Taylor Went to Jail? — Sneak Peek of Vanderpump Rules Season 2, Episode 12
Having to work with your ex-girlfriend seems like punishment enough to us. But it appears that Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor actually had to spend time in jail recently, judging from a preview video of this week's episode.
In the clip, Lisa Vanderpump asks Jax where he's been. "I was in jail," Jax responds, to which Lisa says, "Good excuse — that's actually your best one yet."
However, Jax is being serious. "Lisa, I'm not kidding," he tells her. "I've been in jail since Saturday night," pointing out that he was in the clink for "four days." Yikes.
So what happened? "I got pulled over [while leaving SUR], and a warrant came up from a thing I had when I was 24 years old," Jax says, who also says this wasn't his first time in the Gray Bar Hotel.
Jax explains that he wouldn't have been able to call anyone from the restaurant to let them know where he was. "I don't memorize numbers," he tells Lisa. "They're all in my phone."
That said, Jax is able to find a silver lining in the whole ordeal. "I want to hang out with Stassi, Kristen, and Katie?" Jax says. "Jail seems a little bit better." Zing!
Are you surprised that Jax went to jail? And what do you think he did when he was 24?

John Malkovich Needs Another Pig, RED Sequel Plans To Bring Back Cast
By Josh Tyler 2011-06-30 13:45:44 comments
Bruce Williss retired hitman movie RED was a lot more fun that expected, due in no small part to a scene stealing performance from John Malkovich, and it did surprisingly well at the box office too. I suspect its solid earnings may have something to do with elderly people showing up to see people their own age kick ass. RED stands for Retired and Extremely Dangerous, and when I showed up to see the movie a couple of weeks into its theatrical run I was by far the youngest person in its audience.
Old people love to see their peers shooting younger people in the head, apparently, so Summit Entertainment is churning out a sequel. MTV caught up with RED producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura who offered an update on what itll be all about. They plan to bring back the previous cast, which means you should expect to see Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, and John Malkovich back and packing heat at the least. I guess theyll likely bring back Mary Louise Parker too. But di Bonaventura also says they want to freshen the cast up, which means adding new faces into the mix. He says, We'll bring in one or two characters that'll play a really big part maybe three, but definitely one or two.
Once they work out the math, theyll still keep the focus on the original movies primary characters. Lorenzo explains, Sometimes there's a tendency to want to do too much of a good thing so you don't really service anything, so we're really trying to stay focused on our core crew with one or two new additions.
So whatll it be about? Hes not talking, I guess theyll have to find some way to drag everyone out of retirement, yet again. John Malkovich is going to need another pig.

Probably not. It's just not the American way.
And, it is true that Americans pay more out-of-pocket for prescription drugs than citizens in other developed countries. Other nations use government cost controls and aggressive cost containment strategies to regulate prescription drug costs. Historically, the US Congress has deliberately and consistently refused to regulate prescription drug pricing directly.
The American pharmaceutical industry often has been accused of gouging consumers and profiteering. Its investor return on equity is usually much higher than other industries. And prescription drug pricing differentials have always been difficult to understand, whether at the local pharmacy or within similar hospitals in the same locale.

When Her Majesty visits Northern Ireland her official residence is Hillsborough in Co Down. It is quite small but very beautiful.
picture from www.bbc.co.uk/news
Does she own it herself or is it a Government thing???
It's owned by the government.

You must check out the link provided above! The interior is quite charming and very bright. It looks extremely comfortable without being staid or boring but not so polished that you think you are in a museum. Beautiful interiors and furnishings make it a stylish residence for the Monarch when she is in Northern Ireland.
Hillsborough Castle used to be the home of the Governor of Northern Ireland.
As it happens, the man who was House Manager of Hillsborough for 25 years, retired in December 2009. His first major event was the signing of the Anglo-Irish Agreement by Margaret Thatcher and Garret Fitzgerald in November 1985.

Milan Lab
MilanLab is AC Milan's high tech interdisciplinary scientific research centre. The centre's headquarters is at the Milanello sports centre and has been operating since March 2002.
MilanLab provides technological support within the decision making process that aims to provide the best possible management of individual well being and health.
Science and technology, business know how and individual experience all combine in innovative ways to provide a systematic approach to all the diverse aspects that make up a person's well being.
MilanLab provides the information for future management, availing of the data that has been gathered in past years.
MilanLab's planning bases its own methodological progress on the logical, coherent, regular and constant storing of data. This allows the analysis system to create and to nourish its own method, identifying the algorithms which control and enforce the well being of the individual. In relation to any subject therefore, MilanLab is able to map a person's entire life in their own individual numbers.
Every life is unique and personal: MilanLab's strength lies in being able to map out this uniqueness. Regular and systematic monitoring of the various elements that make up a person's well being is, of course, decisive.
The Mission of MilanLab is to optimize the subject's efforts as they seek to achieve their sporting objectives and/or general health objectives.
The Laboratory structures its working protocol through an in depth analysis of the individuals current state. Based on this initial analysis, a plan of action is worked out with the objective of bring the subject to the highest possible level of wellbeing and/or performance through follow up sessions designed to monitor changes and consequently to implement any eventual adjustments.
The heart of the project is the test circuit which is subject to continual evolutions and modifications based on technological advances and steps forward in expertise. This circuit is capable of acquiring a subject's data, thereby allowing it to understand the subjects current state of health. The analysis carried out places its findings on three levels of acquisition: Our state of health can be seen in its relation to three base factors which we can see on the sides of an equilateral triangle. One side shows us the structural conditions, another side displays the bio-chemical aspects and the third side is the psychological condition. If any of the three sides is weakened, it will lead to an overall imbalance and therefore the state of wellbeing will in some way be compromised. At the base of MilanLab is a vision of health understood as total wellbeing, physical, social and mental which depends on the balance between the three separate elements as explained above. Each of these levels - in the organization of MilanLab – is represented by an area of intervention.
This is how the numeric ID card of the individual is put together.
A system of knowledge management then allows the distribution of the information regarding the subject's condition thereby identifying what type of elements have to be highlighted and which interventions to be followed in order to maintain the highest possible level of wellbeing. Every element, every activity undertaken by the subject (from personal data to lifestyle, from diet to daily routines) contribute to the enrichment of the subject's personal database and the entire MilanLab system.
This mechanism allows the laboratory to constantly elaborate causes and effects, stabilizing the relative correlations and rendering evident and objective both the positive and the negative manifestations.
With the health of the players as the primary goal, MilanLab studies and identifies guidelines to get the best out of the Milan players. Prevention and systematic analysis are the basis on which MilanLab is built. Prevention, which is understood as the implementation of a series of actions employed now to avoid injury in the future; analysis which makes reference to a widely accepted concept, present also in the defintion of health by the World Health Organisation: "Health is the state of total physical, mental and social wellbeing and not the absence of disease or illness." According to this vision, a football club, a team, a person and an athlete are single integrated systems, made up of different mini-systems, whose interaction and efficiency determine the overall balance. Global performance is achieved by the integration of the specific mini-systems that make up the whole. As a consequence of this systematic approach, the interdisciplinary nature of MilanLab's research programme must piece together knowledge from diverse disciplines: motor science, biochemical and biomechanical science, psychology, cogntive science, chiropractice, neuroscience, IT, complex systems analysis (neural networks, business intelligence). Before MilanLab there was no such explanation for a series of frequent events which players suffered from that could be explained by the individual events themselves. By studying an individual's 'norms', information is now availale to create a knowledge base; a know-how which can and should be shared amongst all the experts who work with and for the subject under analysis.
MilanLab was founded with the objective of optimising the team's results to serve as technological support in the coaching staff's decision making process and in the club's human resource management.
Active since 2002, and strongly desired by the club, MilanLab has founded its basis on a simple but strategic concept, which is the driving force for the entire methodology: wellbeing.
Psychophysical integrity of its champion athletes is the most precious asset of a football club: from which depend the team's performance on the pitch and as a consequence the sporting and economic success of the club. It is therefore decisive to monitor, measure and check the various elements which make up the well being of the athlete in a systematic and rigorous manner. Players are put under much physical duress during the football season, both in the more intense competitive phase and in the course of training and recovery phase. The mission of MilanLab is to optimise the results of the team through a system of information technology, which makes it possible to scutinise the pyschophysical state of each single player and of the team in its entirety at any given moment. The aim is therefore to identify which elements must be highlighted and which action is required to achieve the final aim of placing the player in the condition whereby his performance is maximised.
In this way MilanLab contributes to the implementation of the organisational know how and offers prestigious support in the decison-making process.
The health and wellbeing of the athletes must be in tune with the rhythm of competition and training to bring to make sure their full potential is exploited.
The research method applied to MilanLab consists of constantly and continuously measuring the data of the single areas, how they integrate, and in pointing out of specific protocols to maintain or reset the balance and therefore the efficiency of the system.
With the goal of obtaining significant results, it has been necessary to create a system capable of collecting and elaborating a large amount of information. Data are collected and elaborated by a system which utilises specific technology, capable of seiving through memorized data on the outcome of performance, on the excellence profile of the single athlete, and his injuries and drops in form. The aim is to be able to detemine and isolate the factors which contribute in a systematic fashion to verify particular 'at risk events' for players, and therefore to be able to intervene in due to the trustworthy and controllable forecast.
Today there are 11 teams that make up the Youth Sector (from the very young
To those close to the first team) with over 250 boys from the ages of 10 to 18. The Milan Youth Sector is one of the most important programs in the whole of Italy and in the world. The importance of the youth project stems from the club's desire to shape footballers and men, to develop their technical skills and also give them a moral code. Staring from the 2006-2007 season, Milan Lab has been monitoring the growth and development of the youngsters in the Youth Sector also, with the use of regular tests that provides useful information on their wellbeing.
On top of that, the data provides very helpful parameters that the Club can utilise when scouting for new players.
The collaboration between MilanLab and Milan Junior is a strategic manoeuvre to apply the methods of MilaLab to all levels at the Club. The Lab provides an important and innovative contribution to the activities of Milan Junior, in terms of both scouting as well as keeping a close eye on the wellbeing of the players.
MilanLab officially became a strategic part of the 'Scuole Calcio Milan' (Milan's training schools) in the 2010-2011 season with an 'integrated' project that aims to add further value to the training schools that are located all around Italy. The know-how gathered by MilanLab with the first team is now available to these training schools so that the quality and excellence of the project can be continually improved. A team of specialists has been created to help out the individual schools on a daily basis (the aim is to reach 100 units by the end of the year) to develop their work.
More specifically 'MilanLab for the Milan Junior' project was born and with it comes a kit that includes a series of performance-measuring instruments and computers. This kit collects a vast array of data on all levels (from kinematic data to dynamic and energetic readings etc…) which can then be studied by the Staff at MilanLab. That data collected can then be used in a number of situations:
- It will broaden the database and be added to data that has already been analysed
- It will allow the club to have more information on potential players that the club want to sign and will favour the scouts in their task around the Training Schools.
- The data will provide useful information on the wellbeing of the young athletes. The scientific and objective indications elaborated by MilanLab across the data have highlighted that some negative or even dangerous behaviour can provoke harmful consequences to the health of young footballers.

The Whole30 program's Spinach, Tomato and Basil Frittata
A diet program designed to help stop unhealthy cravings and restore healthy metabolism, heal your digestive tract, and balance your immune system in just 30 days! Robin Strathdee, Director of Communications for Whole9 Life details this life-changing program and demonstrates how to whip up their Spinach, Tomato and Basil Frittata!
Spinach, Tomato and Basil Frittata
Recipe: Serves 4 generously
10 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
5oz pancetta or prosciutto, chopped
1c mushrooms
2c tomatoes diced, plus 1 sliced
3c baby spinach
4 big basil leaves chopped and a few more for garnish
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs together until well blended and set aside.
On the stovetop, place a large skillet over medium heat.
Add olive oil and garlic and sauté until garlic is fragrant.
Add mushrooms and cook until soft.
Add tomatoes, spinach and basil and cook until spinach is slightly wilted (but not soggy).
Use a pastry brush to spread some of the fat from the bottom of the pan up around the sides - we don't want our eggs to stick, do we?
Add whisked eggs to the pan and allow to cook until just set around the edges.
Transfer pan to oven and allow frittata to finish baking (10-15 minutes, depending on your pan and oven). You'll know it's finished when the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Top with some fresh basil leaves or, if you're feeling fancy, some fresh basil pesto (recipe in It Starts With Food). It's summer, so serve with a side of fresh berries and chilled coconut cream.

GLEN DALE - No matter what the sport or the the level, there is no way of getting around the fact that experience can make a difference in a big game.
Monday night, John Marshall used its maturity to dominate arch-rival Wheeling Park in a West Virginia Class AAA Section One quarterfinal volleyball match.
Seniors Jenna Stephens and Alexis Montes controlled the net and the Monarchs trailed only twice in rolling to a three-game, 25-15, 25-19, 25-22 victory against the youthful Patriots at John Marshall High School.
The victory sends Coach Stacy Shive's JM squad into the sectional semifinals Wednesday at 5 p.m. against top-seeded Morgantown. The Mohigans own a pair of victories against the Monarchs already this season.
Meanwhile, Monday night's victory gave John Marshall the season series against Wheeling Park. Coach Leslie Waechter's squad pulled out a five-game victory against the Monarchs at the Palace but lost in four games in Glen Dale in their other appearance there.
"This game meant so much to these girls," Shive said. "They didn't have school (Monday), so they came in early and had a light practice and it is one of the best practices we have had all season.
"But it also made me a little nervous, because normally when we practice well it leads to poor play in matches for us. But not (Monday), these girls were 100 percent determined to beat Wheeling Park."
The Monarchs got things rolling early, trailing only once in the opener before cruising to a comfortable 25-15 victory. The hosts actually led 7-3 early before a point and four consecutive aces from junior southpaw Lindsay Bise put Wheeling Park ahead 8-7.
However, Stephens, Montes and the rest of the Monarchs took over from there, scoring seven of the next eight points to take control. John Marshall closed it out with Caitlyn Malloy serving and a Montes block capping the victory.
Shive's girls came out strong again in Game 2 with Montes and Emily Winters holding serve as the Monarchs built a quick 9-2 advantage. But with sophomore Carly Greer coming alive at the net Wheeling Park chipped away and had the deficit down to just two points later.
Winters, however, closed things out with an ace for the victory in a game they never trailed in.
Waechter's young group was not about to give up as the Patriots led only one time at 1-0, but managed to stay close the entire game. John Marshall was never able to build more than a five-point advantage and Park was as close as 14-13 midway through.
But fittingly, it was a Stephens kill, her final volleyball point on her home court, that sealed the deal and sent the Monarchs into the next round of play.
"We have been playing so hard at the net," Shive added. "But we have also worked on getting the lead and maintaining it, which we did a good job of. It has been stressful, but that has been a real weakness for us."
Waechter, meanwhile, was proud of her girls, but also looking to the future.
"We have one senior, two juniors and a whole bunch of sophomores," she said. "It has been a rough season for us, but we are really looking forward to the future with these great kids.
"Our biggest problem (Monday) was what we like to call stupid, silly mistakes, and we have got to learn to not make them any more. Our service receive was not good and that is usually something we do well at.
"We are not very tall, but our passing skills are something we work hard at. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do much of anything right against John Marshall."
Stephens finished with 14 kills and Montes 11 for the winners, while Winters contributed five aces and Sara Tennant had six digs. Greer paced the Patriots with five kills and three blocks while senior Jalena Marshall went out with 13 assists.
As for Morgantown, Shive knows it will be a tough task against a good team.
"We lost twice to them already and they are a very consistent team," Shive said. "Normally anything that goes over the net towards them is coming back towards you.
"Jenna (Stephens) and Alexis (Montes) are our power players, and they didn't shut them down when we played, but they are able to send back some beautiful hits and that doesn't happen often."

The publication, entitled "Climate Change for Forest Policy-Makers – An approach for integrating climate change into national forest programmes in support of sustainable forest management- version 1", is the outcome of a process initiated in 2009 with a series of national stakeholder workshops, aiming to support countries in the process of integrating climate change into their National Forest Programmes (NFP). The outcomes from the workshops were further discussed during an expert consultation in September 2010 and the draft guidelines went through external and internal review in 2011 with the inputs of many partners including the UN-REDD Programme.
Engaging in REDD+ activities has implications on forest and land management and may require revision of national forest programmes in the participating countries. Hence it is important that climate change strategies and plans including REDD+ strategies are integrated into a country's existing forest policy framework and other sectoral frameworks that influence forests; this can help to ensure that climate change objectives are balanced with other forest sector objectives and that trade-offs are weighed and synergies captured.
The publication is a key part of FAO's and the National Forest Programme Facility's country support and seeks to provide a practical approach to the process of integrating climate change into national forest programmes (NFPs). The document has been developed to help forest policy makers integrate climate change into existing NFPs, or forest policy frameworks, and to encourage consistent treatment of forestry issues, including REDD+, in national climate change strategies and policies.
The intended use of the publication is concentrated across several levels:
The publication is available in English, Spanish, and French. More information on the initiative can be found on the FAO website.

Great for industrial thin client!
This review is from: StarTech Professional VGA to HDMI Audio Video Converter with Scaler VGA2HDMIPRO
Pros: This device works great for our company because we set up some industrial thin clients with only VGA ports. Newer TVs don't come with VGA anymore, so I needed to find a way to convert VGA to HDMI. This is it! It works like a dream! We are running our applications at 720p resolutions (although it will support 1080p too!).
Cons: Comes with a cheap VGA cable. Had some ghosting which would not allow the picture to automatically center on the screen. I had to replace the VGA cable with a thicker insulated one. Also, does not come with an HDMI cable.

Works as advertised
This review is from: StarTech Professional VGA to HDMI Audio Video Converter with Scaler VGA2HDMIPRO
Pros: Very flexible input and output settings. Compact device. Worked right out of the box, as advertised.
Cons: A little more that I would have cared to spend, but it worked.
Other Thoughts: Easily converted "problematic" video source to HDMI for display on LCD television. I had to connect an industrial grade video source with limited output capabilities to an LG LCD Television display that did not have a compatible input resolution. The StarTech VGA to HDMI quickly allowed me to patch the 2 devices together in under 5 minutes.

Gaizhou's Bell Tower and Drum Tower are composed of the base and the upper structures with an oblong floor that is 37 meters in length and 14 meters in width. Inside, there are pavilions from west to east, the Mercy Goddess pavilion in the middle and behind it there is Daxiong Grand Hall with an ancillary hall on either side respectively. In the middle of the mansion base, there sits an arched passage, which is a main transportation way from north to south. In the adjacent northwestern corner there is one Mountain Gate, facing the east. There stands one stone lion on either side of the gate, which is elegant in shape, skilled in cutting. They are regarded as one of the excellent works of stone carving. The Mountain Gate is the only way leading to upstairs and downstairs. If you take this way, you will soon find the Bell Tower and Drum Tower. Bronze bricks spread on the floor with the parapet around and are furnished with one water drain to make the sewage to run out of the mansion.
The Bell Tower and Drum Tower's ancient architectures are all in the same way with the mansion's back facing the north and the front facing the south, 23 degrees from the west. The series of the ancient structure's building materials and wooden frame, were characterized with Ming dynasty style. As the story goes---in Hongwu's year, Ming dynasty, the Bell Tower and Drum Tower were built by the director, Wu Yuzhan in the process of building South Town., which sounds convincing.
Solo Adventure Tips:
How to Get There?
It is located in the middle of Shenyan-Dalian railway with the convenient Transportation. If you travel by train or by bus, you can choose Shenyan-Dalian railway and then get off at the Gaizhou station (or get off the highway).When you arrive in Gaizhou city, you can take a taxi, at the cost of five yuan and get to the Drum Tower. It is more economic to take man-pulled tricycle. The Tricycle seems like the same comfort one in Peking Hu-tung and as usual it merely costs three yuan.

The main character of the upcoming sequel to Assassin's Creed has been unveiled a bit prematurely, but does not disappoint. According to ScrewAttack, the hooded figure's name is Ezio Auditore de Firenze, a nobleman of Florence from 1476. Ezio happens to be yet another genetic predecessor of Desmond's, the modern-day character from the first game. It's also believed that players will be able to swim and utilize DaVinci's flying machine, which should make the game a bit more interesting to say the least.
Furthermore, Ubisoft is incorporating more mission types into Assassin's Creed 2, which should remove the repetitive nature of the first title. The upcoming issue of GameInformer has an exclusive cover story for Assassin's Creed 2, but we'll have to wait to find out the full set of details.
