An incredible journey into the inner-space of analog synthesis. Soothing, pleasant, hypnotic and manic are thoughts of the day. This cosmic oozing mess of layered sequencers as swirling syrupy frequencies come raining down. Raglani serves up some sickly sweet synthy songs and Outer Space forge a thick gooey side long track of psychedelic electronic mind muck. John is in another band called Emeralds.
Guest appearance by C.Spencer Yeh on Raglani's "Heart Of Glass" adding a slice of nice on the violin. Artwork and layout by Jeremy Kannapell.
Edition of 500 copies in pro-press full color jackets and insert. For fans of early Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk & Nik Pascal.
Release date August 19, 2010!
VITAL WEEKLY Oct. 2010
Two sides of the cosmic coin are presented on this record. On one side we find Raglani, of whom we reviewed music before (see Vital Weekly 623 for instance) and on the other side Outer Space. Both play the uberhip cosmic music card. There are differences. Outer Space solely uses things with keys: Moog Voyager OS, Korg M10, Moog Opus 3, while Raglani adds bongos, acoustic guitar, melodica and field recordings. Of the two Outer Space is the more simplified version of cosmic music of the two. Things bubble nicely, along the various oscillations applied in this music. Its not a bad piece (in two parts), but perhaps something that anybody could attempt to create when sitting behind two keyboards. There is a certain depth missing here. Raglani does things better, more depth and with some more variation. Arppeggio's play an important role in his three pieces, creating that swirling type of synth music that cosmic just happens to be. Perhaps the pieces are a bit too short and end quite abruptly, which is a bit of a bummer. Now you know why Tangerine Dream did this sort of thing on one side of record, so two in stead of three would have been great. Raglani's side is great and Outer Space is fine. To be continued I guess. (FdW)

As a child, BBC TV's Blue Peter was one of the programmes that I was permitted to watch each week and that I couldn't bear to miss. It was the early seventies and presenters John Noakes and Valerie Singleton – and of course dog, Shep – were my idols. So yesterday it was with great sadness that I learnt of Noakes's disappearance near his home in the village of S'Arraco in southwest Majorca, the island that he and I have, respectively, chosen to make our home.
By chance I happened to be at sea when the news reached me and with none other than Majorca resident and former British film director and TV producer, Gabrielle Beaumont, ironically a director of Blue Peter during John Noakes's time on the show. She was shocked to hear that he was missing and reminisced about her happy time working with him during her tenure at the BBC.… Read more

25th Annual Scholarship Golf Classic Is a Memorable One
Oct 1, 2007
Thanks to everyone who supported the Middlesex County College Foundation's 25th Annual Scholarship Golf Classic. With a beautiful day as our backdrop, 70 golfers enjoyed themselves at Colonia Country Club, Colonia.
Our golfers and dinner guests were a diverse representation, not only from the corporate and business world, but also from our very own MCC campus community and retirees. The day's events began with a wonderful BBQ lunch, followed by a great day of golfing. During cocktails on the patio and watching the sun go down, the golfers feasted on butler passed hors d'oeuvres, witnessing Allende Matos from FKA Architects win the putting challenge. The evening continued with a carving station and delectable buffet dinner. The golfers received a wind vest embroidered with the Foundation logo commemorating our 25th anniversary. Each golfer also received our famous goody bag items from local corporations in appreciation of their support.
This year the Foundation honored William R. Walsh, Jr. with a commemorative 25th Anniversary flag. Bill chaired the first golf classic 25 years ago. During his acceptance speech, Bill delighted the audience by presenting a contribution of $3,500, which was the amount raised by the First Annual Scholarship Golf Classic, to benefit our 25th Anniversary Event!
The 50/50 Cash Raffle proved to be an overwhelming success. Golf chair, Brian Legg, was the lucky winner of $1,320. Our guests enjoyed milling about the "Tricky Tray" deciding where to place their tickets among the many high end items on the tables. Lee Mathews, Edison Job Corps served as "auctioneer" to the "live auction" of golf foursomes to some of the area's most desirable golf clubs. The net proceeds of the event, $36,611 will help the Foundation provide scholarship assistance to approximately 20 deserving MCC students! We thank all those who supported this event on their behalf.
Thanks to you and the many others who support our mission, the Foundation provided scholarships and financial aid to 625 MCC students last year! Thank you for making a difference by giving them the opportunity to realize their academic and career dreams. We hope you will join us again next Fall for the 26th Annual Golf Classic!

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Finnish tech company made the must-have mobile phone. It became the world's No. 1 mobile phone maker and a global technology tastemaker. Now comes news that Microsoft is phasing out the brand it recently acquired, in order to focus on the Lumia phone line. With the name switch, the 147-year-old Finnish company's name will disappear from the technology it helped create. It's not the only well-known company to stage a vanishing act. Recently it was announced that the once-ubiquitous Hess gas stations that dotted America's landscape will also disappear as the company focuses on oil instead of retail. While Hess's and Nokia's impending disappearances are playing out in the headlines, take a look back at eight other brands that were once household names, but have since disappeared.

Home -> Community -> Usenet -> comp.databases.theory -> CfP: Data Warehouse Workshop DMDW'02 at CAiSE'02 in Toronto
Call for Papers & Participation 4th International Workshop on DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT OF DATA WAREHOUSES (DMDW'2002) May 27, 2002 Toronto, Ontario, Canada in conjunction with the 14th Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'02) May 27-31, 2002
Data Warehousing embraces technology and industrial practice to systematically integrate data from multiple distributed data sources and to use that data in annotated and aggregated form to support business decision-making and enterprise management. Although many database techniques have been revisited or newly developed in the context of data warehouses, such as view maintenance and OLAP, little attention has been paid to the design and management of data warehouses to appropriately serve their purposes, i.e., to support the management of a given enterprise. This workshop is intended as a forum to fill this gap. DMDW started as a CAiSE worhshop in Heidelberg, 1999. Since then, the workshop has taken place on an annual basis with a big success, with special journal issues publishing best papers from past editions of DMDW. As in earlier DMDW workshops, we invite research papers covering all aspects of data warehouse design and management over its lifecycle. Equally welcome are papers from the industry reporting on data warehouse toolkits and experiences from data warehouse implementation projects. The workshop will continue to promote a culture of vivid discussions.
We cordially invite researchers to submit original research papers to the 4th DMDW Workshop, and practitioners of the DW application industry to submit experience papers. Here is a non-exclusive list of
TOPICS OF INTEREST Research Track
Design methods for data warehouses
Data warehouse architectures
Physical organization of data warehouses Materialized view selection for data warehousing Data extraction and cleaning for data warehousing Organization of meta-data management
Management of data quality and uncertainty Verification of design goals and information needs Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)
Conceptual and logical modeling of multidimensional data Multidimensional query languages
Query processing and optimization in data warehouses Data warehouse evolution
Data warehouse security
Data warehouses and the web
Online Analytical Mining (OLAM)
Temporal aspects
Experience Track
Motivation for installing a data warehouse Integration of a data warehouse into an organization's business processes Supporting federations of data warehouses Experience with data warehouse software and tools Detection of useful/necessary functionalities lacking from commercial products Problems and challenges in data warehouse usage (e.g. data loading, data cleaning, data inconsistency,
data maintenance, data quality, performance issues)
User acceptance of data warehouses
Impact of OLAP and data mining on business decisions Success stories of data warehouse installations
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Research papers of up to a 5000 words (which works out to a MAXIMUM of 10 double spaced 12 point font single column pages) and experience papers of up to 2500 words (MAXIMUM 5 pages of double spaced 12 point font single column pages) should be submitted in electronic form (Standard Postscript or PDF) via Email to

Around the schools
Senior varsity basketball player Sam Dixon is doing her part to put her school in the holiday spirit.
As part of a continuing tradition, Dixon, along with a few other art students, painted the glass door in the main entrance of the school with a variety of festive scenes.
"Principal Tal (Jim Tallarico) asked us if we would like to paint the school windows for the holidays and of course I said yes," Dixon said.
Dixon is proud of her work and the effect it has on the school.
"It makes our school show that we have holiday spirit," Dixon said.
When Dixon is not painting, she is practicing for her starting position on the basketball team, where she plays point guard and shooting guard.
During the school's recent production of "M*A*S*H," senior basketball cheerleader Lindsey Glidden played the part of Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan, the rigid, by-the-book, career Army head nurse.
"The character was very different for me," Glidden said. "Last year, we did 'South Pacific' and I was Nellie Forbush. That was a big change going from her to Margaret Houlihan. But it was very fun."
Actually, the role was perfect for Glidden since she plans to become a physician assistant. She has been accepted into the pre-physician assistant programs at Lock Haven University, Misericordia University, King's College and Marywood University. She intends to attend Misericordia.
Also, on Saturday, Glidden learned that she passed her first responder certification course.
"Since I'm interested in become a physician assistant, I thought I would get some experience volunteering at the local fire company by going out on ambulance calls," Glidden said. "I took the course over the last few months. Then we had to take a written test and do a practical where we had to perform certain skills in front of the officials."
Glidden studied dance for 12 years and takes gymnastics for the tumbling that is involved in cheerleading.
A member of the National Honor Society, she also recently participated in County Chorus and enjoys skiing and snowmobiling.

Russia has long been a source of puzzlement and sometimes alarmfor Western observers. Since shaking off communism two decades ago, the country has seemed wobbly at best, thoroughly corrupt and threatening at worst. But in recent years, as noted scholar Daniel Treisman shows in this compelling account, Russia has re-emerged as a pivotal nation in world affairs. In The Return,Treisman cuts through the myths and misinformation, as well as ongoing academic and journalistic debates, to present a portrait of a strong and independent country that is returning to the international community on its own terms. Drawing on two decades of research, interviews, and insider observation, The Returnprovides the first comprehensive history of post-communist Russia. From Gorbachev to Yeltsin, Putin, and Medvedev, it traces the twists and turns of the country's evolution, uncovering the causes behind Russia's plunge into depression in the 1990s and resurgence since 2000. Rather than a nation frozen in ancient authoritarian traditions, as Russia is often portrayed, Treisman shows a society modernizing rapidly, with a government that, although less than democratic, is sensitive to public opinion but which has been repeatedly buffeted by economic forcesthe collapse of Soviet planning, the gyrations of oil pricesthat have alternately boosted and drained the leaders' popularity. Knocked off balance once again by the global financial crisis, the Kremlin's current bosses must now struggle to reignite the growth on which the stability of their regime depends. As Russia grapples with its economic difficulties, the West will have to come to terms with the new Russia. With its UN Security Council veto, thousands of atomic warheads, continental dimensions, and vast mineral resources, Moscow sits at the epicenter of the toughest challenges the world will confront in the next generationfrom Islamic terrorism and nuclear proliferation to energy security and global warming. To enlist Russia's cooperation in solving the problems of the twenty-first century, Western leaders will need to look beyond common misconceptions to see the country as it is rather than as it has often been imagined or depicted. Based on extensive research by an expert with intimate knowledge of the country, the book provides insight into the prospects for democracy in Russia, the challenges and opportunities of doing business there, the wars in Chechnya, and the motives behind Moscow's foreign policy. The Returnis the ultimate accounting of what Russia is today, how it got there, and where it's going.

Eva's vibrator giftsEva Longoria treats all her girlfriends to a vibrator on their birthday.
The 'Desperate Housewives' star claims the greatest gift for any woman is learning how to pleasure herself.
The sexy actress, who famously said she didn't have an orgasm until she used a vibrator, revealed: "After I spoke openly about vibrators I literally got boxes and boxes of free sex toys sent to me. So I was constantly giving them away.
"Even before that I'd give them to girlfriends for their birthdays and they'd be so excited."
Eva insists learning what pleases you sexually on your own can only lead to a better sex life.
She revealed to Cosmopolitan magazine: "You get better sex when you know your own body. How can you expect a man to know your body when you don't know what pleases you."

Five-day body blitz bootcamp from £199pp
01305 831702
Weight: Before 10 stone 6 After 10 stone 1
Body fat: Before 27.1% After 23.1%
Waist: Before 79cm (31 inches) After 74cm (29 inches)
Exercise is a mood-booster as well as a waist whittler. And being outdoors can enhance the effects. Research by charity Mind found 94% of people taking part in 'ecotherapy' or exercise outdoors felt that it improved their mental health.
That's not to mention the confidence booster any women gets for a few inches off her waist and hips. I'm a huge fan of bootcamp as regular readers of this column will know. And every time I go, I think – why did I leave it so long?
That's not to say it's a walk in the park. More like a run round the park, up a hill, up a sandbank… you get the idea…Forest Fit Club is the brainchild of Joe Day and Oli O'Hare, who run same-sex morning and evening workout sessions for the yummy mummies and fit fellows of Dorset. Sessions take place either in Meyrick Park or in the New Forest, behind Moyles Court school.
The five-day body blitz is a natural extension of these sessions, offering locals the chance to take part in up to five hours of exercise per day for a real fitness booster. Ideal for weight loss, special events or if you have fallen out of love with exercise and want a super-fast fitness booster.
I couldn't attend all the sessions due to work and family commitments but still got fantastic results. In addition to the five pounds lost in five days, my overall measurements shrank dramatically. The two inches off my waist got me back into my favourite jeans – I also lost a whopping 2.5 inches off each thigh, thanks in part to combining the intense sessions with a pair of Zaggora Hot Pants.A typical day on the five-day body blitz involves early morning bootcamp at Moyles Court; SAQ (speed, agility, quickness) training, followed by TRX and core work with a Flexi-Bar at Meyrick Park; an energetic and scenic beach walk; and a fun class such as skipping or boxing. Different price plans allow you to choose the level of support you need in terms of food. The firm use a selection of meals and snacks from the MyFood Blitz Body plan range. It's fresh, tasty and filling and I didn't feel like I was on a diet at all.
The next five-day body blitz takes place June 11-15, or book now for July 23-27, August 20-24, from £199 per person (training only). For a five-day body blitz plus all meals expect to pay £269 per person and, if you'd just like to sample a day's training, the price is £45. Highly recommended. Email firstname.lastname@example.com

|Topography used in this study, the top layer is porous,
the lower layer is bedrock
The two main models used here are the mass source and the porous media models.
|Initial condition before rainfall*
|Intermediary stage, the ground is still
mostly soaking water
The precipitation map can be fully defined both spatially and temporally across the entire domain, and porous behaviors can be modeled both for saturated and un-saturated media.
|Torrent formations following heavy precipitation. Note the water pooling and main torrent formation in the canyon on the right, and the strands of heavy discharge into the pre-existing body of water on the left.
You can also view the video on youtube here.
Finally it's very interesting to look at the time series of water depth located at a probe placed near the lower end (elevation wise) where I was expecting to see the great volume flow and water pooling. Initially, while the porous layer is actively absorbing water, we see no surface water pooling. Then once the layer becomes saturated, we observe a rapid increase in water depth, until we finally observe the steady state balance between the influx of precipitation and the outflow via the torrent.
Finally I note that you can be a lot more sophisticated with the mapping of the precipitation rates by simply tiling your domain into various sub-components (they can be of arbitrary shape by the way):

Mary Zimmerman
Arabian Nights Returns to Berkeley Rep
Last time Arabian Nights appeared on Berkeley Rep's stage, it scored more critical acclaim than the Beatles on Ed Sullivan or Jesus on Easter - as well as nightly standing ovations with various forms of enthusiastic whooping. So Berkeley Rep wisely resurrected this gorgeous piece of theater for a limited run. With Tony Award-winning director Mary Zimmerman at the helm, Arabian Nights is the infamous tale of a bride who spins a provocative web of genies, jesters, thieves and kings in hopes of saving her life.
Revamped "Arabian Nights" is Something to Ululate About
There are moments in Mary Zimmerman hip and lively adaptation, "Arabian Nights" (just extended at Berkeley Rep) when the layers upon layers of the play's shaggy-dog stories produce a punch drunkenness in the audience. We may have expected a old-world tableau of Egyptian intrigue. What we witness are winding yarns within yarns that tell far fetched tales of oddballs; a farting man, an randy green grocer with a big "cucumber", a scabby, dribbling, gruesome bride. The comedy is low. The sub-plots dizzying.

The usage of the word "binge-watch" has apparently been around for over a decade, and has been popularized in more recent times with the advent of on-demand viewing and online streaming of content, thanks to providers like Netflix releasing episodes of its serial programming simultaneously.
And now that it's officially in the mainstream, as more and more of us gladly embrace the idea, how has binge-watching affected the way we all watch TV in 2014?
This is a question I asked S&A Facebook subscribers over the weekend, and below are some of the responses I received.
First, let me say that, as someone who hasn't been a regular TV watcher for years (I "cut the cord" as the saying goes, years ago), binge-watching is something I did before Netflix helped popularize the term. I'm one of those early adopters when it comes to technology, given that I've long been a gear-head/tech geek. So I don't necessarily consider myself an appropriate candidate for the above survey question (which is why, in part, I wanted to hear from others). It's become very much a part of how I consume content these days. The web has long been my window to the world of content produced for TV and film.
I believe disruption in the methods of distribution of content will only continue, and I envision a time in the not-so distant future, when we'll all be able to watch whatever it is we want to watch (brand new content, old content, content from other parts of the world, etc), whenever, and on whatever platform we choose. And we'll be able to do so à la carte, without paying unnecessary costs for packaged deals that we won't fully exploit, as we currently do with cable television, for example.
So how has binge-watching affected your TV viewing habits?
A few S&A readers share their answers below (feel free to add yours in the comment section). I think content creators should find some of these comments very useful, as you go about creating content for these very same people who are telling you exactly how they are consuming content currently. It's clear that there has indeed been a shift (granted these 20 replies don't necessarily reflect all of America; but I think they speak for a healthy enough population worth paying attention to. And I should add that piracy continues to be a significant problem for those content creators/distributors who remain defiant to consumer habit changes).
For some who replied, there's the social media aspect that's missed in binge-watching, but apparently not missed enough to discourage them from continuing to binge-watch, as you will read below.
I initially was going to summarize their replies, but I came to realize the benefits in reading each one in full; So read on, and hopefully learn something about your audience in the process. And please join the conversation in the comment section that follows:
1 - Mo To ThaWilly My breaking bad obsession came from binge-watching the first 3 seasons. Right now, I'm bingeing on Misfits. I'm saving Blacklist and Crisis for the binge. its a better way to connect with episodic dramas, especially without commercials. it works best for those of us with busy lives who want to do nothing but veg for a spell.
4 - Dankwa Brooks Netflix (Disc only plan) has ordered my binge watching as well as Comcast OnDemand. For example, 'The Wire' final season (5) was the only one I watched LIVE. I watched the other seasons via Netflix discs. Here exactly are my binge watching habits. No matter how good the storyline is I CAN'T watch more than 3 one hour episodes a day. I just can't. Maybe four 44 minute episodes if the story is going that great, but usually I don't do anymore than two and save the rest for later. Half hour shows (22 minutes) I can watch about 4 or 5 episodes. Dropping cable since the recession has REALLY caused me to binge watch seasons of 'Homeland', 'Dexter', 'Boardwalk Empire' etc until when they hit Netflix which is usually a year later. It's hard not to get spoiled, but I'd rather binge watch than wait week to week. "oh you have a cliffhanger?" Click the remote --next episode. LOL
5 - Caroline Renard If I don't have time to really watch a show because there's so many, I just wait until the end of the season to watch it in one complete "binge watching" session. It's what I did for "Game of Thrones," "Orphan Black," "Homeland," "Orange is The Black." Plus having Netflix or hulu is cheaper than having cable.
16 - Rhonda Ami I have been a television fan since I was a kid & now that I am a professor who studies and teaches popular culture I have found that binge watching to be one of the few ways that I can both enjoy and study a particular television show & the cultural messages that it brings. Though I am a heavy user of all sorts of technology, I do not own a DVR. This is an intentional choice. I know that it will sit under my television, collecting episodes that I will not have time to watch. This will induce more stress. "The DVR is filling up. I need to watch those shows." Netflix (in particular) has allowed me to schedule "downtime" to watch shows that I am interested in, in clumps, for pleasure AND for analysis. There are times when I have constructed entire lectures (on topics upon which I had already planned to lecture) using examples from a show. For instance, after binge watching House of Cards, I lectured on the intersections gender and power as depicted in it and even showed clips. Additionally, I have a group of friends on Facebook who are interested in some of the same sorts of analyses of popular culture as I. We often have extensive discussions about the shows. This community of people (made of people that I already know & whose intellect I trust) quite often helps me to see things that I missed while watching, or just gives me the ability to say, "Oh my god! Did you see that?!", which is, in part, how many current shows are written. We also give each other suggestions. Last summer, I watched several shows, about which I would rave, which would send my friends into binge watching frenzies, which we would then discuss on Facebook. It was great! Before Netflix, I had (still have) DVD's of entire seasons of shows. The difference is that I had already faithfully watched those shows on network television and already loved them. I could lend the seasons to my friends, but it meant that we weren't all watching at the same time. The one negative that I have found with binge watching via Netflix has been that the people with whom I do the most analysis (my friends on Facebook and students) don't all watch at the same time. For instance, I got into House of Cards later than some of my friends, who PLEADED with me to watch so that we could talk about it. We've had some epic discussions too, but there are still stragglers, so when we do post about it, we are (usually) very careful not to issue spoilers. We are trying out a remedy for this when the second season of Orange is The New Black premieres. We are going to schedule a binge-watching weekend so that we can all watch at the same time and then talk about it. I do not think that I am overstating when I say that Netflix has revolutionized "television" viewing. Its format fits right into our "immediate gratification," "time crunch" culture, but it also does something else. It slows us down by compelling us to take the time (that we might not otherwise) to watch 4 or 5 (or more) episodes of television shows that bring us some happiness. Binge watching is "a thing." It's by appointment. For women, especially, it is a luxury when we take care of ourselves. Before we binge watch, we take care of our families & get them all set up to survive without us for hours, gather snacks & a bottle of wine, set up our laptops, communicate with our friends and tell our family members not to bother us for the rest of the afternoon. This is new for our culture. Good television and film makes me happy. A television show or film that is well-crafted is much like a good book to me. Netflix, in particular, gives me access to it in remarkable easy & ubiquitous ways.
17 - Bernard Timberlake II .... YES!!! We Changed! !!! We (my household) actually watch Less Tv during the work week and do marathons (binge) on the weekends (starting Friday - Sunday evening). ...lol. JUST caught-Up to the most recent episode of "Mary Mary". It took us (my Wife and I) 3wks of weekend watching. Starting from S1, E1. *yes we left the house (occasionally. ..lol) "House of Cards" only took one weekend. But they had also put the WHOLE season up all at once. I gained 2lbs, THAT weekend. Streaming the shows IS the only way that 'We' watch Tv. Not having to rely on a dvr or paying for TV (paying cable providers) is a BIG help for us and our Family. We only pay for Internet. But don't ask me where the $130 a month (NY) savings is going. With 2kids in college. Every bit helps. I have a dedicated computer streaming to a 42" flat screen Tv with wireless keyboard and mouse. Old laptop as backup. So we can sit on the couch and click away! Black&SexyTv (YouTube) HULU, OV Guide, PBS (local and regional), NetFlix (group account), Shadow & Act (good links to independent original content), FORA.tv (EDU), Snag Films, Project Free Tv, and.... a few others! Hope that this (short) rant helps you out...lol Going back to watching "Suits" now! I had to pause the show to look into my 'Tv Favorites' folder and my Wife is getting impatient with Me
18 - Michael Jewett No and yes! We ditched the TV and cable about five years ago. I watch a few things online. The only way I watch TV now is through binge-watching.

Great article about the best ways to gain fat. You may be surprised!
Great article about the best ways to gain fat. You may be surprised!
Some good points, but the absolute calorie advice is a bit pointless without linking it to body weight and activity level.
It is funny to see some people in the gym working on the aerobic machines while watching tv/reading a book, all with an extremely relaxed look on the face and without breaking a sweat...
so glad she added the end section: For a leaner, sexier you:
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
Huh, and to think I did it the "easy way" by laying around on the couch and not doing anything, whoodathunkit?
Had a laugh recently - they've printed a new magazine in Australia called "Womens Fitness". Ok nothing wrong with that, but the advertisements go on about how it's packed with great ideas like (i) receipes, and (ii) how to get fit without hitting the gym or doing serious exercise.
That's too much work to gain fat, the author just needs to start each morning with a pound of fat bacon lightly fried so as not to render the fat. Instant results in 3 days....
Didn't care much for the info in the article. It's just playing around with popular weight loss and gains ideas.
That one is quite popular. It seems to suggest that you should eat more to lose weight. For people who like eating anyway, common sense might not be enough to over rule that one.The less you eat, the lower your metabolism will go, which is optimal for storing body fat.
This part is just trivial, but I also don't like the light shade of grey used for the text. It's #666 and the lightest I've seen, although I did run into another site a few weeks ago with the same shade.

PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State University safety Chima Nwachukwu has been named one of 10 finalists for the 2010 ARA Sportsmanship Award, presented annually by the Awards and Recognition Association (ARA) and given to one outstanding NCAA Division I collegiate football player who best personifies the spirit of sportsmanship. The 2010 Sportsmanship Award winner will be chosen next month.
A 2009 ESPN The Magazine Second Team Academic All-American, Nwachukwu, a native of Allen, Texas, is a three-year starter in the Cougar defensive backfield. This season he has played in just four games, missing the last three due to injury. In his last outing at UCLA he recorded a season-high 11 tackles.
The senior posted a 4.0 GPA during his sophomore and junior years and served as WSU's 2009-10 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee president. Additionally, Nwachukwu has assisted in several community outreach programs, including the Cougs Helping Haiti Fundraiser, Nike Shoe Drive and Reading Buddies, a program where student-athletes volunteer once a week to read to elementary school students.
Nwachukwu is the second Cougar in the past four years to be an ARA finalist, joining former teammate Alex Brink, who ended up being the national winner in 2007. Other previous winners include Kansas State University tight end Jeron Mastrud (2009), Northwestern University receiver Eric Peterman (2008); Rutgers University fullback, Brian Leonard (2006) and University of Memphis running back, DeAngelo Williams (2005).
"The word is getting out to a wider audience about the importance of sportsmanship as the number of candidates more than doubled from last year," said B.J. Bailey, CRS, president of ARA. "We are thrilled to be part of this groundswell of excitement over the power of sportsmanship. As the only national award that recognizes an athlete's character and leadership as it translates to sportsmanship, the ARA Sportsmanship Award was created six years ago to shed light on these positive traits."
To qualify for the award, an athlete must be a starting player or significant contributor on his team; be in good academic standing; demonstrate great respect for competitors, school, teammates and coaches; show an ability to accept victory and defeat graciously; convey a high degree of humility and integrity; and demonstrate commitment in the classroom and to the community.

Treaty Parties meet in Ukraine
On the occasion of the 31st meeting of the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM), over 300 delegates from Antarctic nations around the world met in Kyiv, Ukraine, in June, to discuss a broad range of Antarctic legal, policy and environmental protection matters. Just two days before the meeting, Monaco acceded to the Treaty – the 47th accession since its inception in 1961.

Biological prospecting received further attention, including a request by the ATCM that the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research conduct a review of published research on Antarctic biological prospecting, undertake a survey of current biological prospecting activity, and report back to the next meeting.
In the lead up to the next ATCM a number of issues will be progressed in inter-sessional discussions: the United Kingdom will coordinate inter-sessional work on developing a tourism strategy for Antarctica; Norway will convene further work by the Inter-sessional Working Group on Passenger Vessel Safety; The Netherlands will convene an informal meeting on Antarctic biological prospecting; and Argentina will lead an inter-sessional group to review arrangements for the conduct of Antarctic Treaty inspections.
In science, Australia reported on the progress of the Census of Antarctic Marine Life and cooperation among Antarctic Treaty Parties, which led to 18 research vessels collaborating in data collection across the Southern Ocean. The census has gathered much new information on the marine biodiversity of the region.
Australia participates actively in all meetings of the ATCM, consistent with the government's objective of maintaining the Antarctic Treaty system and enhancing Australia's influence in it. The annual meetings are the primary international forums for discussion of issues relating to governance in the Antarctic region. Decisions at ATCM and CEP meetings are taken by consensus. The next meeting will be held in Baltimore, United States, from 6 to 17 April 2009.

The lemon is one of 16 distinct species in the genus Citrus of the rutaceae family of plants. It's closely related to the lime and to the citron, all of which are "nippled" fruits. Citrus limon are 15 foot trees that produce highly scented lemon fruits and white blossoms year-round. Quite sensitive to cold temperatures and high humidity, lemons are particularly well-suited to the arid, subtropical climates of southern California and the Mediterranean region, where they grow in large, fragrant orchards.
Early forms of the lemon probably originated in China, traveling to Italy and the Mediterranean with Arabian merchants. A fruit that resembles a lemon is depicted in mosaics at Pompeii, although some botanists argue that the lemon wasn't well known to the Roman Empire but began showing up in Europe during the Crusades. Whatever its early history, the lemon didn't become commonplace until the 16th century. The earliest record of the lemon in the New World came from Hispaniola (Haiti/Dominican Republic), where it arrived with Columbus in 1493.
Essential Oil
Lemon essential oil is pale yellow to slightly greenish yellow, with a refreshing aroma nearly identical to the freshly peeled fruit. Substances used to adulterate and extend lemon oil include synthetic citral, as well as natural citral isolated from plants like lemongrass. Adulterated oils can be identified by their simple, one-dimensional lemon-like aroma or harsh, turpentine-like note. They often have an off-smelling dryout note. Pure lemon oil, on the other hand, will evaporate from a perfume blotter leaving almost no detectable dryout note. The sophisticated nuance of a freshly peeled lemon is the hallmark of authentic, cold-pressed lemon essential oil.
The high temperatures needed for steam distillation would destroy the subtle, fresh aroma of lemon oil, which is better preserved by cold-pressing the fresh peel. Cold-pressing will yield six to seven pounds of oil from one ton of fresh fruit. Following extraction, different batches of cold-pressed California lemon oils are often blended together to produce a more consistent aroma profile, while lemon oils from Italy usually come as individual, small lots from different producers. Italian oils typically have a wider, more inconsistent range of aromatic qualities.
Constituents of lemon oil include limonene, which is responsible for the oil's tangy-fruity aroma, and citral, which is responsible for what we recognize as the lemon note in the aroma profile.
Historical Uses
The virtues of the lemon and its close relative, the citron, have been well-known throughout history. The poet Virgil had this to say:
And dulling tastes of happy Citron fruit,
Than which, no helpe more present can be had,
If any time stepmothers worse than brute
have poyson'd pots, and mingled herbs of sute
With hurtfull charmes: this Citron fruit doth chase
Blacke venome from the body in every place.
Writing in her 1931 book on herbal medicine, Maude Grieve says, "The lemon is the most valuable of all fruit for preserving health." This was written in the days before aromatherapy, so Grieve couldn't have had complete knowledge of the importance of lemon essential oil. She wrote, "The oil is not very active, and is used chiefly for flavouring."
Like many essential oils, the constituents of lemon oil have antiseptic properties. What makes these properties noteworthy in lemon oil is that here they're combined with a delightful aroma. Lemon is a great modifier for medicinal-smelling oils like tea tree and eucalyptus. Lemon works synergistically on a therapeutic, aesthetic and emotional level. This is very important when working with blends containing strongly medicinal oils, which may have a tendency to produce a negative aesthetic or emotional effect in aroma-sensitive people.
Lemon oil is uplifting and cleansing. It replaces negative emotions by creating a cheerful atmosphere of freshness and purity. It can help dispel mental fatigue and psychological heaviness. The aroma of lemon can inspire increased concentration and awareness. A Japanese study suggested that after diffusing lemon oil throughout a busy office building, typing errors decreased by 54%.
Because lemon oil is clarifying and aids the decision making process, it's called the rational oil. Lemon is associated with the color yellow, with light and warm, penetrating energy. Simply placing a drop or two of lemon on a tissue can produce marvelous results. It's a great addition to gently uplifting aromatherapy blends, along with other citrus oils as well as lavender and neroli.
Lemon oil is powerfully astringent and antiseptic. Because it can cause skin irritation if used by sensitive individuals in dilutions exceeding 5%, it should not be applied undiluted to skin. Five drops or less of lemon oil should be added to a teaspoon of a carrier oil. Lemon oil can contain up to two percent furanocoumarin compounds, including bergaptene. These compounds act as photosensitizing agents, which can increase the skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet light, causing accelerated burning and skin damage. Don't use lemon oil on the skin in the presence of sunlight.
Cosmetic Uses
Lemon oil is astringent and detoxifying and is therefore great for blemishes associated with oily skin. Lemon oil also has rejuvenating properties and will brighten dull skin. Slices of fresh lemon placed upon the cheeks can lighten freckles.
Lemon Skin Brightener
Lemon oil is astringent and detoxifying and is therefore great for blemishes associated with oily skin. Lemon oil also has rejuvenating properties and will brighten dull skin.
Uplifting Lemon Blend
This balanced blend of inspiring and relaxing oils can have a gently uplifting effect on the emotions.

There have been a couple of threads about "beater bikes" and "bikes you can just jump on and ride" so I decided to give mine a try this afternoon. Actually, I had a couple of additional agendas 1) I wanted to explore a new route and I didn't want to do it on a recumbent and 2) I wanted to try out my elbows since I haven't ridden an upright bike in over a year.
I rode for around an hour and a half and everything went just great. The weather was perfect, my elbows remained pain free, the route to Creve Coeur Park was adequate to wonderful although I did ride counter-traffic for a shirt distance on the return, and the bike reminded me of why I love it so much. (Did I mention this is the bike I was riding when I broke my elbows?) The tushie? - well, lets just say I haven't been on an upright bike in over a year.
All-in-all a very satisfying ride.

I know cows milk is causing my LO to suffer from constipation. The docs have only instructed me to give her water and juice. But It pains me to see her struggle with her bowel movements constantly.
How are your LO's with soy milk? Should I introduce it to her and see if it will help a little?

RUGBY: Emotions run wild for Twickenham hero Karl (From This Is Wiltshire)
RUGBY: Emotions run wild for Twickenham hero Karl
Updated 10:51am Tuesday 6th May 2014 in By Dan Barnes
TWICKENHAM try scorer Karl Parry admitted that keeping his emotions in check as the final whistle blew on Trowbridge's historic RFU Intermediate Cup victory yesterday was impossible.
The 29-year-old came on as a replacement midway through the first half during yesterday's showpiece clash with Leek and after strong running from James Davies and Jackson Szabo, prop Parry drove over the line to restore Trowbridge's lead with his side's first try of a memorable afternoon.
Parry, who works as a plumbing and heating engineer, was delighted after make a major contribution to his team's thrilling 22-19 victory at the home of English rugby but didn't experience the same success when it came to fighting off the tears.
"It's scary how emotional it is, actually," said the Trowbridge man.
"Being 30-years-old, you think you've got past all that but nope; I was crying my eyes out when the final whistle went and I loved it.
"I had all my family there watching – mum and dad, fiance, nan and grandad from both sides and the fiance's family too.
"My try was just a standard pick and go from a few yards out and it was the same sort of try you get throughout the season.
"Playing didn't feel different during the 80 minutes and you've just been concentrating on winning the game, no matter where you are.
"But when that final whistle goes and you hear everyone making noise, you just think 'brilliant' - it was amazing and I can't fault it."

No simplistic recipes
God makes some problems deliberately hard
So, if you were either George W. Bush or Colin Powell sitting down for this morning's review of the world's crises, which would you take on first? Of all the overseas snarls, which needs most urgently to be untangled? Israel and the Palestinians? Pakistan and India? The frustrating invisibility and elusiveness of Osama bin Laden? The mass weapons factories of Saddam Hussein?
And those are only the ones that could end civilization as we know it by the end of the afternoon.
To that scary list add current tensions in the Philippines, North Korea, Sudan, Venezuela, China, Taiwan, and several dozen other places as well.
One thing you know for sure, as you sit down to do your day's work, is that simple formulas don't apply. Maybe once you could reason that "the enemy of my enemy must be my friend." But no more. The world is way too complex and nuanced for simplistic recipes like that.
One formula that does help, of course (even if it doesn't solve all the details), is to start every problem-solving session-even the big international tussles-with an earnest effort to see things from the other person's (or country's) point of view. That's not the same as approving that point of view; it's not even saying, "You have a point." It's just making sure that you accurately understand the other party's perspective. Part of the benefit comes just in sending the message that such clarification is important to you.
Almost certainly, we American evangelical Christians have taken time to do that far too rarely with those we perceive to be our enemies. Whether these are folks who oppose us politically, economically, culturally, religiously, or even militarily, we almost never sit down with such folks to ask them bluntly: "Why are you so mad at us?" It might help if we did.
But the reality is that even after we do that, stark differences will still be sitting there staring us in the face and daring us to find solutions. The Jews and the Muslims will both still want Jerusalem. It's not a matter of reaching a better understanding; we already understand the problem too well! The communist dictators who rule China enjoy their privileged positions, and so does Saddam Hussein in Iraq. No extended conversation, no matter how empathetic, is going to change all that.
And you haven't even yet added in the mind-rattling complexities of forming alliances. Take Pakistan, for example. Or, to paraphrase humorist Henny Youngman's famous line, "Take Pakistan, please." Who needs an ally like Pakistan?
America does, and it doesn't. For the last nine months, America has desperately needed Pakistan. Yet at the very same time, America can barely afford to identify with an ally like Pakistan. Pakistan's rambunctious attitude toward India, America's occasionally more dependable friend in the region, makes everyone feel apocalyptically wobbly.
It would be nice in such circumstances, while deciding who your allies are and who they aren't, to look to the Bible for some straightforwardly helpful formula. President Bush seemed a few weeks ago to have done just that. Echoing Jesus' comment in Luke 11:23 that "Whoever is not with Me is against Me," Mr. Bush said bluntly that anybody who didn't side with the United States in the war against terrorism might well be considered our enemy.
But, as usual, Jesus was actually challenging His followers not to memorize a recipe but to do some deep mental digging. For just a bit earlier, in Luke 9:50, Jesus said almost enigmatically, "The one who is not against you is for you." So which statement applies?
Much of the time, Jesus offers His people crystal-clear teaching. But sometimes He seems deliberately inscrutable, challenging us both cautiously and modestly to think our way through the issues. Especially when our tendency is to cut other people off, or maybe to show how good we are compared to others, He slows us down: "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone" (John 8:7).
As we've emphasized here repeatedly, that is not at all because God thinks all ideas are equal and all values relative. God doesn't look at the American republic and the Iraqi dictatorship and say dismissively, "They look pretty much alike to Me."
But God knows equally well our tendency toward self-righteousness. That's one reason He makes so many of the problems in life so hard to solve.

Collinsworth (as voiced by NYC comedian Rob Lathan) has to start out somewhere, so here he begins by calling the action for Intellivision's
Rural New Mexico Six-on-Six Football NFL Football (and the later All-Pro Football, with the forward pass perfected by the Mattel LED handhelds years before).
Remember, "You've never lived until one of those clowns flips you upside down." It's a sound bite you hear 48 zillion times in the most mundane Madden NFL 10 game. It'd also take up 20 times the memory of one of these ROMs.

After suffering an opening-day non-league loss to Sandwich, the boys' golf team has ripped off three straight wins with victories last week over Scituate (215-225) and Silver Lake (192-223) in Patriot League action.
Freshman Jonathan Stoddard and senior captain Andy Puopolo continue to go out as the #1 and #2 golfers for the Dragons, but a trio of young guns was responsible for the win over the Sailors.
Sophomore Phil Sciretta's 41 led the way for Duxbury in a round that included six pars, while classmates Brayden Minihan (5 pars) and Kevin Kuckuk (4 pars/ birdie) shot rounds of 42.
Senior captain Mark Tedeschi pared four holes on his way to a round of 43, while Stoddard (44) and Puopolo (45) rounded out the Duxbury scoring to complete the 10-stroke win.
Duxbury returned home on Thursday to tackle the Lakers, as Stoddard was back in form with a seven-par, one bird performance for a medalist round of 36.
Tedeschi also liked the home course feel, as Duxbury's #4 player carded a 38 with seven pars, followed by Sciretta (3 pars/birdie) and Minihan (6 pars) at 39.
Kuckuk and sophomore Billy Curley had identical rounds of 40 that included three pars and a single birdie.
Puopolo (2 pars) and Curtis Owen (par) were the alternates.

COACH BLUDER: First of all, I congratulate Louisville. They came out and played very well, especially defensively. They made us struggle offensively.
They only scored four points over their average, but it was their defense that took us out of our game.
I'd like to thank the crowd for coming out here this late on a weeknight. I want to thank our administration for hosting this event. They did just a great job again like they always do in hosting national events. They make Iowa proud. Unfortunately our team didn't make Iowa proud tonight. That's something we're probably going to think about for a long time.
Q. Samantha, tell us what the Louisville defense did that stopped you guys from doing the things you wanted to do tonight.
Samantha Logic: We knew they were going to have pressure. We knew they were going to have some traps, different defenses. It wasn't anything we weren't expecting. We just really didn't execute. We know how to break a team who do things like that. We've played teams like that in the Big Ten, in our non conference. Our coaches prepared us for that. We just got out of our offense. We didn't execute. We did in the first four minutes and after that we didn't score enough. We didn't shoot the ball very well. I thought we had a lot of open threes that we just didn't put down today. If you're turning the ball over and not shooting the ball well, it's not going to be easy to win a game.
Q. Sam, going into this game, what was the game plan defensively with Schimmel?
Samantha Logic: With a player like Schimmel, you're not going to stop her, you're not going to hold her to zero points. You've got to try to limit her touches, limit her shot attempts, make her take tough ones. I thought in the first half we did a little better job of that. Her team made a couple tough shots. Had a three bank in at the end of the shot clock. Some of those things you can't control. When they're tough shots, she's going to make some tough shots. Second half she got to the line a lot. She got her points there, but again she hit some open threes. You have to try to contain her. You're not going to control a player like that. You just have to try to limit everything they do because she's a flat out scorer and that's what she did for her team.
Q. Theairra, how would you summarize this season?
Theairra Taylor: Awesome. I played with a great group of girls, great coaching staff. We didn't go out the way we wanted to. But coach said we can't remember the season off of just this game. This is one of my favorite seasons being here as a Hawkeye. It's something I want to remember as a wonderful journey.
Q. Theairra, what are you going to remember most about your career? Is it overcoming adversity?
Theairra Taylor: No. It will be the connections with my teammates. It's a great group of girls in that locker room. I've played with so many players. They still contact me now. Just building those relationships that last longer than those basketball memories, that's what I'll remember most.
Q. It started well enough for you. It was 11 11. Things kind of dried up. What kind of turned there?
COACH BLUDER: We scored about one point in the seven minutes at that point. I felt like for some reason we went away from things that were working for us in the first few minutes of the game. I thought we had some great drives to the basket. We got in a little bit of foul trouble, unfortunately. That hurts us. I thought they did a nice job of really, you know, keeping the ball out of Sam's hands. They did a tremendous job with that. Louisville, they did a great job. They did a great job defensively. They hit tough shots. Defensively, I don't think our defense was that bad the first half. I think they hit some tough shots. Offensively, that's what is disheartening.
Q. Talk about Theairra, what she's meant to you and this program.
COACH BLUDER: I really couldn't do that when she was in here but, the team loves her. We wanted this for her really badly.
