AARHUS, Denmark, October 27. JUST two weeks after taking down the national club record in the 200 medley relay, Aalborg Elite tracked down the Danish club relay record in the 400 medley relay at the West Danish Championships.
Yesterday, Mie Nielsen tracked down the 200 free Danish national record previously held by Lotte Friis, today she smoked a 57.35 leadoff to help Aalborg Elite to the club relay record according to Swimming World Scandinavian correspondent Rokur Jakupsstovu.
The squad clocked a 4:00.21 to break the previous record of 4:03.06 set by Swim Team Odense at the 2009 Danish Short Course Championships. Jakupsstovu reports that Louise Dalgaard (1:08.6), Mathilde Pugholm Hvid (59.7) and Julie Levisen (54.38) were also part of the relay.
The Danish national record is a 3:49.87 from a victory in the 2012 World Short Course Championships.

JDT coach Bojan Hodak feels the Lions XII will be under pressure to win in their home ground at Jalan Besar Stadium. - Filepic
PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) coach Bojan Hodak is wary of the lion's pounce.
JDT face Lions XII at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Tuesday night and Hodak believes that the Singapore side will be under pressure to win at home.
The Lions are currently in eighth place with 21 points after 15 matches in the 12-team Super League standings and closer to relegation.
The defending champions have lost six matches this season, including two at home. It is in stark contrast to last season, where they only lost three matches and were unbeaten at home.
The Lions are desperate to turn their fortune around after losing three of their last four league matches.
"Lions are in a position that they never thought they would be in ... they are now under pressure to win this match," said the Croatian on Monday.
"They are basically the Singapore national team. They might not have any outstanding individual but they play well as a team and run a lot during matches."
Hodak rubbished talk that his side are also under pressure to deliver a win after their three-match winning streak was halted by Pahang with a 2-2 draw last week.
The former Kelantan coach is not bothered with records as his focus is on winning matches.
"I'm not upset or obsessed with records. We played well against Pahang but came undone with a costly error," said Hodak, referring to goalkeeper Mohd Izham Tarmizi's howler which led to Pahang's equaliser.
"These things happens in football ... one mistake doesn't turn Izham into a bad player.
"We are playing good football and the key is just to continue playing according to the game plan."
A win for the cash-rich JDT will see them move into the top-three bracket and within reach of leaders Selangor, who have 34 points. JDT are currently fourth with 26 points.
The 43-year-old added that striker Norshahrul Idlan Talaha, who just recovered from conjunctivitis, and defender Marcos Santos, who is recovering from a head wound, are doubtful for the trip across the Causeway.

NEW YORK — Two days after braving torrential rainstorms at the London premiere of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the stars crossed the Atlantic and were greeted by blue skies and rabid fans during the NYC premiere at the famed Ziegfeld Theatre.
Fans arrived as early as 4 a.m. to catch a glimpse of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and others, and each star made sure to greet the onlookers, signing posters and posing for pictures, before stepping in front of the flashing lights and outstretched microphones on the carpet itself.
"It's like traveling with the Beatles," director David Yates told MTV News.
The sixth film in J.K. Rowling's boy-wizard series, "Half-Blood Prince" sees the students at Hogwarts growing up and beginning to deal with romantic impulses, heated entreaties and painful rejections. For the stars, who've been working together since they were young kids on 2001's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," the need to film "snogging" scenes, as those Brits put it, made for some uncomfortable moments on the set.
"I've known Bonnie [Wright, who plays Ginny Weasley] — even though she's obviously stunningly beautiful, as you have seen tonight — I've known her since she was 9 and I was 11," Radcliffe said. "So that was kind of weird at first. But we got used to it. We got over it pretty quickly."
Watson seconded that opinion. "It was really awkward. Rupert's like my brother, so it just felt very, very strange," she admitted. "But he's a gentleman, and he was a great kisser."
Joining Radcliffe and Watson under the city lights and in the middle of the "Potter" madness were their co-stars. Wright, with her red hair swept up high and clipped in the back, spoke to us about her unnerving make-out scenes and her fantastic Quidditch matches. Freddie Stroma, making his debut in the film franchise, complimented his castmates for welcoming him into the fold. Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman and Warwick Davis also made appearances.
Other celebs coming to check out "Half-Blood Prince" included Ashanti, Lance Bass, Vanessa Williams, Chevy Chase, Diane Sawyer and Kelsey Grammer.

Review: Delta Blues Spearmint-Infused Iced Tea Punch
Posted: Jul 29, 2005 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: Jul 28, 2005 at 2:32 PM)Packaged in a bottle that looks like a jar of barbecue sauce, this "Spearmint-Infused, Deep South Iced Tea Punch" hits you pretty hard. There's a ton of sugar, which isn't necessarily inconsistent with southern-style iced tea, but there's this spearmint taste that makes the whole thing taste kind of fruity – and that fruit flavor is enhanced by the addition of lime and orange juice concentrate, as well as ascorbic acid – making it feel like one is actually chewing through the tea as much as one drinks it. A look at the label – which features a picture that might as well be a background still for "Song of the South" -- reveals that one of the suggested uses for this stuff is as a marinade. We agree. This iced tea would make a terrific marinade. Still, it's worth a try for those who are fans of strong, sweet teas.

English Premiership Odds – Arsenal's Woes to Continue at Old Trafford against Manchester United
Written by North Shore Sports, Inc.
The third match week of English Premiership odds are posted at Bookmaker Sportsbook, and today, we're taking a look at the clash between Manchester United and Arsenal.
Soccer Betting Online:
Manchester United and Arsenal are set to tango on Sunday, August 28th at 11:00 ET at Old Trafford in Manchester, England. We're breaking down the English Premiership odds for this clash, which can be seen in the States on FOX Soccer Channel.
English Premiership Odds
Manchester United (-1, -115)
Arsenal (+1, +100)
Over/Under 2.5 (Over -125)
It might officially be time for the Gunners to start to panic. They have taken it on the chin in two straight English Premiership betting odds battles over the course of this EPL campaign, getting blasted 2-0 at home by Liverpool last week, and suffering a lifeless 0-0 draw at St. James Park against Newcastle to start the campaign.
The offensive struggles for this team date back to the preseason when the team was knocked off in its own Emirates Cup by former mate Thierry Henry and the New York Red Bulls, and struggling for 135 of the 180 minutes against Italian side Udinese in the Champions League playoff over the last week and a half didn't make matters any finer either.
The only hope for Arsenal on the English Premiership wagering odds is that the second half rally, which featured a pair of goals against the Italian side on Wednesday, will be enough to spurn the team to a solid result at Old Trafford in one of the biggest fixtures of the season this weekend.
Unfortunately for Manager Arsene Wenger, his transfer window problems have continued, as Samir Nasri has moved on to Manchester City, leaving yet another gap in his roster.
Manchester United looks like it has no such gaps after blasting Tottenham 3-0 in the home opener here at Old Trafford last Sunday to remain as one of the three sides in the EPL that are perfect thus far on the campaign.
United fielded a side chock full of players that are under the age of 25 against the Toffies, something that you don't normally expect. However, even though both Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand were out injured, the side still looked the role of the league champs, absolutely dismantling Tottenham from start to finish.
The big question is how Manager Sir Alex Fergusson chooses to treat his attackers in this one, knowing that he has a plethora of options to choose from. Wayne Rooney, who has scored in both of the first two matches of the year, will surely be in the starting XI, but beyond that, it is anyone's guess.
English Premiership Odds Predictions – Man U is just the clearly superior side in this one. The Gunners don't stand a chance of getting three points, and losing by 2-3 goals is a heck of a lot more likely than even earning that single point.

Dr. Derrick Kolling
Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry
B.S. (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology), The Pennsylvania State University
Ph.D. (Biophysics and Computational Biology), University of Illinois at Urbana
Dr. Kolling's research interests involve two
areas of photosynthesis that can be applied to
alternative energy production. The first area is
studying the chemistry of photosynthetic water
oxidation. This is approached by observing the
light-dependent assembly of the catalyst responsible
for this water oxidation; this catalyst is a
manganese-oxo cube, which cycles through five
physiologically relevant oxidation states. The lab
uses oxygen electrodes, fluorometry, and EPR
spectroscopy to identify and characterize the
various intermediates of the assembly. This provides
information about the assembly mechanism and
further, clues about how the catalyst works once it
is assembled. Understanding the chemistry of water
oxidation will allow researchers to build an abiotic
catalyst that can extract electrons from water by
using light energy. The second area of study
involves producing biodiesel from algae. Students
are using gas chromatography linked to a mass
spectrometer to map the metabolic pathways in algae
under specific environmental conditions, such as
elevated carbon dioxide and nitrogen depletion.
Understanding what conditions result in elevated
production of fatty acids (the precursor to
biodiesel) and the mechanism by which these fatty
acids are produced will allow researchers to
genetically engineer algae to constitutively produce
high levels of fatty acids.
Dr. Kolling currently teaches two sections of
Introduction to Biochemistry Lab. In the fall,
he will teach Introduction to Biochemistry and a
special topics course: Chemistry of Biofuels.
Dr. Kolling is a member of the American
Chemical Society and the International EPR (ESR)
Society (electron paramagnetic resonance, also known
as electron spin resonance).

I cruised through an intersection with no cross traffic on a side street and got pulled over by a cop. The sneaky motorcycle cop was stalking behind a building. There were stop signs so yes I did break the law. When I got the ticket in the mail though, it was $253!!!! WTF?
Tomorrow I have my court date and I am going to ask for leniency and argue to have my fine reduced. Right now I am looking for other citations that incur penalties of less than $250. The punishment is way our of wack with the crime.
Has anyone been in this position? What did you say in front of the judge? I know a bicycle is considered a vehicle by the state but $250. . . come on. Love your feedback.
PS: I live in Santa Monica, CA. Our state is broke so who knows if i can wiggle out of this one.

A little nutshell

Jeu de Hazard!
When you say luck, you mean random events. Roulette is random. BJ isn't. BJ is a game where the chances of what happens next are dependent on what happened previously. Unlike craps, roulette etc. The wheel has no memory but the deck of cards has : if for example what remains at the end of a shoe are just tens and aces, the player has a far better chance of winning money.
It is almost impossible to duplicate exactly the same technique, method, or strategy. BJ is a dynamic game and no two situations can be EXACTLY the same and the RESULTS will be different.
Calculating all the possible combinations of hands may be a huge task but it has been done. The effect each card's value has on the player's chances (=expectation) as this card is dealt (=removed from the remaining cards) has also been calculated. That's all we can do. Calculate and simulate every possible outcome and take the course that gives us the best chance. Unless we opt to simply pray for the best.
By giving a value to the composition of the remaining cards (that's all the info you'll ever have by counting in this game), counting tells you who has an advantage in every situation (you or the dealer), how much that advantage is and what is your proper strategy. This strategy dictates how much it is appropriate to bet for your next hand and how to play your actual hand.
Short term, anything is possible. Even hitting your twenty and getting an ace. But the math is all we have to calculate the proper strategy in the long run. Play properly enough hands and the law of big numbers kicks in.
There are lots of worthy books out there which can guide anyone to understand the logic, adopt a counting system and guide you through the proper playing behavior. Which means avoid being kicked out for being a counter!
You cannot win in this game by merely counting cards. Other strategies?
Sorry, I have no other proven way. Do you?
If you are saying that math and science, combined with those OTHER things you DO that makes you a winner, then I say you are making more sense.
The only 'other things' have to do with playing behavior. Which comes through these same traits of character that non-counters usually peddle, like discipline, a cool head, the ability to put up a front, a working brain. These things alone cannot do it. Coupled with counting, they give a player his best chance of beating the game.
people are prone to their individual weaknesses it is almost impossible for them to duplicate exactly the same technique, method, or strategy
Well, that's the bad part. Counting is very difficult. Consistently winning money through counting is tough. Few people can do it. If you manage to be a disciplined, competent counter you'll enjoy no more than 1.5% of an edge over the house. And it is still very difficult to withstand the swings of fortune this very small edge carries.

2011-12 Butler Women's Basketball
Butler (4-7) at Detroit (4-8)
Thursday, Dec. 29 - 7 p.m. ET
Detroit, Mich. - Calihan Hall
Live Stats | Live Video | Game Notes
The Starting 5 - Butler's Top Storylines
1. Back In The Right Direction: As conference play begins, the Bulldogs are playing their best basketball of the season. BU has now won three straight games since suffering a six-game losing streak earlier this year. Following a 49-46 loss at Indiana State, the Dawgs have beaten Ball State, Marian and IUPUI to get back on the winning track. All three of those victories were at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
2. Conference Openers: Beth Couture has done a good job getting Butler ready for the start of league play. The Bulldogs are 7-2 in league openers under Couture. BU is 15-10 all-time in conference openers since the MCC/Horizon League started playing women's basketball. Butler's last loss in a league opener was a 77-69 setback at Valparaiso in 2008.
3. Young Bulldogs: Butler has had young teams in the past, but no team has had young players on the floor for more minutes than this year's BU squad. Through the first 11 games of the season, freshmen and sophomores are accounting for 70.7% of the team's total minutes. Freshmen Haley Howard and Hannah Douglas have been starting in addition to sophomores Jenna Cobb and Sarah Hamm. Only one senior, Devin Brierly, plays significant minutes.
4. 4 Straight 20s: Butler has won 20 games in each of the past four seasons, the first time the team has achieved that as a Division I program. The Bulldogs went 20-14 last year and finished second in the Horizon League. The Bulldogs were 23-10 in 2009-10, the team's most wins since 1998. BU was 20-10 in 2007-08 and followed that with a 20-12 season in 2008-09. Butler is 83-45 during the last four seasons.
5. 2nd In The Nation: Haley Howard, Butler's leading scorer, is currently second in the nation in free throw percentage. Howard is 29-for-30 at the foul line, good for 96.7 percent. Her .967 mark is tops in the Horizon League. Howard, a forward from Whiteland, Ind., made the first 23 free throws of her college career before missing against Marian.
Butler vs. Detroit: Butler has owned Detroit in recent years, winning 12 of the last 13 meetings. Of those 12 wins, nine have come by a double-digit margin. However, Detroit leads the all-time series 32-27. Beth Couture is 15-5 against Detroit.
Last Year vs. UDM: The Bulldogs and Titans met three times last season, with BU beating Detroit twice. Butler won 72-66 at Calihan last season and routed Detroit in the HL quarterfinal 64-38 at Hinkle. Detroit did manage a 55-51 win at Hinkle last February.
Freshman Impact: Two freshmen are starting and contributing for Butler. Haley Howard, a 5-11 forward, is Butler's leading scorer and shooter. Hannah Douglas, a 5-9 lefty guard, is a starter and among the team's leading rebounders.
Devin's Increased Production: Devin Brierly, the only senior playing significant minutes this season, has been more aggressive on offense. The 5-9 senior guard entered this season averaging 4.4 points per game for her career, but is currently scoring 9.7 points per game this season. She scored 20 points at IPFW, 18 vs. Bradley and a career-high 22 against Ball State.
10th Season of Beth Couture: This season marks Beth Couture's 10th on the Butler sideline, making her the first coach in Butler women's basketball history to reach 10 seasons as head coach. Linda Mason coached the team for eight seasons (1976-84).
More On Howard: Haley Howard is averaging a team-high 12.5 points per game on .484 shooting. The Whiteland, Ind., native has eight double-digit scoring performances and has tallied at least 11 points in each of the last five games. Her .967 free throw shooting is second in the country. She has gone 4-for-4 at the foul line four times this season.
Locking Down On 'D': Butler has held its last four opponents to an average of 45.2 points per game last week while also forcing 21 turnovers per game. The Dawgs held Indiana State, Ball State, Marian and IUPUI to 50 points or less.
Board Work: Butler is 3-0 when grabbing more rebounds than its opponent. Last week's win over IUPUI was the first time this year BU won when being out-rebounded. IUPUI had a 39-36 edge in rebounding in its loss at Butler.
McDivitt Back Strong: After missing two games with a concussion, Mandy McDivitt had one of her best games of the year against Marian back on Dec. 17. She scored 11 points and had a career-high three steals. It was her second double-digit scoring game of the year. She also had 11 points vs. UNLV.
Guard The Arc: In addition to three treys, Mandy McDivitt also had a rare 2-point field goal against Marian. Of her 39 career field goals, 36 have been 3-pointers.
Home Sweet Hinkle: Butler's non-league record is a bit deceiving when you consider that seven of the team's first eight games were on the road. The Dawgs recovered in December, coming back to Hinkle and winning three straight before Christmas. BU is 3-1 at home this season and 26-7 at Hinkle over the past three seasons.
Couture's Cause: When not patrolling the Butler sideline, Beth Couture has spent her time in the battle against breast cancer. Couture, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring of 2009, rushed through treatments to make it on the sidelines for the start of the 2009-10 season. Couture has been cancer-free for more than a year and has participated in several awareness events. She is the honorary chairwoman for St. Vincent Women of Hope, a breast cancer awareness group. Each Woman of Hope participant pledges to raise or give $1,000 annually for the cancer cause of her choice.
Butler In The NCAA Rankings: Butler appears prominently three times in the latest NCAA rankings. The Bulldogs are 42nd nationally in free throw percentage (.744), 75th in steals per game (11.1) and 98th in turnover margin (+2.5). Butler is second in the HL in each of those three categories.
Bombs Away: Butler has attempted a season-high amount of 3-pointers in each of the last two games. The Bulldogs have fired 23 treys against both Marian and IUPUI. Butler averages 18.4 attempts from 3-point range.
Pressure The Ball: Butler has had success on defense when it pressures the ball and forces turnovers. The Bulldogs have forced 20+ turnovers six times this season. Butler forced 24 Marian turnovers on Dec. 17, and it took the ball away 27 times against Ball State and 24 times against Bradley. The Dawgs are second in the Horizon League with 11.1 steals per game.
Block Party: Sarah Hamm is second in the Horizon League and ranks 72nd in the nation with 1.6 blocks per game. She's had at least one rejection in eight of the team's 11 games. Hamm has blocked four shots in a game twice this season, with four each at IPFW and against Bradley. The sophomore center owns 18 blocked shots, while the rest of Butler's team has 22 blocks.
Bench Posts: Post players off the bench have made a difference in Butler's recent games. Amanda Raker and Becca Bornhorst were both productive in Butler's win over IUPUI, with each player scoring six points and making two steals. Bornhorst, who missed time early in the year with injuries, added six rebounds. Raker has scored six points on 3-for-6 shooting in each of the last two games.
Couture Is No. 1: Beth Couture, with 152 victories at Butler, sits alone atop BU's all-time women's basketball wins list. Couture last season passed Linda Mason, who coached at BU from 1976-84 and won 124 games. The record-breaking victory came at UIC on March 4 of last season.
Pro Dawgs: Two recent Butler players signed pro contracts overseas during the summer. Brittany Bowen, an All-Horizon League player last year who graduated May, signed with a club in Denmark. Just days later, 2010 graduate Susan Lester signed to play professionally in Turkey.

400: On Jan. 29 of last season, Beth Couture picked up her 400th career win. The 10th-year Bulldog coach now owns 409 career wins, including 151 at Butler. Only 48 other active NCAA coaches have 400 career victories.
Indiana Is The Dawgs' House: The Bulldogs have posted a 23-7 record against schools from Indiana during the last five seasons. That mark includes a 6-0 record against Indiana foes in 2009-10 and a 5-2 record last year.
Butler Background: Amanda Raker, a freshman post player who averaged 7.5 points per game in the tourney at Nevada, has the pedigree for success at Butler. Her father, Gary, played two seasons of basketball at BU from 1978-80 after playing two years at Oklahoma. Gary Raker, a 1975 Indiana All-Star, averaged 11.8 points per game over 52 games at Butler.
Up Next: After the Detroit/Wright State trip, the Bulldogs will host Youngstown State Thursday, Jan. 5 at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Joni Mitchell turns 70 on Nov. 7, 2013, so we are sharing this incredible, candid interview Jian Ghomeshi. Happy birthday, Joni!
Lionize at your own risk: Joni Mitchell will break your heart.
The Canadian folk music icon and painter turns 70 this year, and she doesn't have much patience for false idols. She's also not a fan of stupid people, faux hippie ideals or Jim Morrison as a poet. She'll rail at length about the failure of the baby boomers, technology and "confessional" songwriting. She's candid and cutting and still so thrillingly capable of real beauty.
But Mitchell has spent her entire existence clawing at life: fighting against the numerous diseases that have threatened to cripple and kill her; surviving the music industry; twisting her alienation (innate and self-imposed) into art that's loved and loathed, sometimes in the same breath.
Next week she'll travel to Toronto from her home in L.A., where she'll recite poetry at Massey Hall during Luminato Festival's tribute show, Joni: A Portrait in Song, honoured for something she can no longer do: sing.
This event has manifested a rare burst of indulgence on Mitchell's part: an exclusive two hour interview at her home with Q's Jian Ghomeshi, looking back at a life so mythologized, it's ripe for uprooting, which Mitchell is more than happy to provide.
On being cast in the role of '60s hippie goddess
"Most of the hippie values were silly to me," Mitchell says. "Free love, come on. It's a ruse for guys. Look at the rep I got. It was a list of people whose path I crossed. It wasn't even — in the summer of love they made me into this love bandit. So much for free love. Nobody knows more than me what a ruse that was."
On how music became her career and being 'Banffed'
"I got pregnant. I was the only virgin in art school right? I was holding on to this precious thing and I just kind of stupidly let it go. As Jean [Grand-Maitre] my choreographer says, 'You were Banffed,'" Mitchell says. "I got caught out immediately and — so I had to create a smokescreen, the music was not of interest. This is a trick that fate — because I didn't know I had the gift. I hadn't started to write. I was just a folk singer."
On giving up her child
"The thing that keeps getting written is that I gave up my daughter in order to further my career," Mitchell says. "This is just not so. What was done at that time was you didn't even see the daughter. The right thing to do to protect your parents was to get out of town, go into a home.... There were a lot of unwed children born in 1965, more than could be adopted and all the homes were full. So it was very difficult to survive. I mean at the time I had her I was destitute. There was no way I could take her out of the hospital into a blizzard with no job, no roof over my head. There was no way I could take her.
"She was beautiful and she found her way into a foster home. And I tried to get work and get a setup that I could bring her to. Well in that time period I couldn't get any work in Toronto because I couldn't get 160 bucks to get into the union. I was beset by predators, you know, like people trying to take advantage of the situation ... I was a criminal. I was a fallen woman. It was, you know, it was a very difficult situation."
On the Blue album
"When I realized how popular I was becoming, it was right before Blue and I went, oh my God, a lot of people are listening to me," Mitchell says. "Well then they better find out who they're worshiping. Let's see if they can take it. Let's get real. So I wrote Blue, which horrified a lot of people, you know. And then it created a lot of attention that was really weird. And so then I bought a property in British Columbia and dropped out. Because what had happened is they're looking at me and all I've done is revealed human traits.
"Kris Kristofferson went, 'Joni! You know, keep something of yourself.' Johnny Cash said, 'The world is on your shoulders.' They all recoil because the game was, I'm bad, I'm bad, make yourself larger than life. Don't reveal anything human and my thing is, why?"
On being reclusive
"I've been ill. What are you supposed to do? Wander around when you're sick as a dog? You can't. So once again, you know, fame is a series of misunderstandings surrounding a name. I've been sick all my life, you know. So if I call off for you with abscessed ovaries, I don't make a big publicity of it like Liz Taylor. I don't play the professional sick person.... (It doesn't bother me when I'm called a recluse.) People always get everything wrong." [Laughs] "When somebody gets something right I'm always delighted."
On facing death
"I've had a very interesting and a very challenging life. A lot of battles, just disease after disease after — I mean, I mean I shouldn't be here, you know. But I have a tremendous will to live and a tremendous joie de vivre, alternating with irritability," she says, laughing.
Joni Mitchell will be in Toronto next week to recite poetry at her Luminato Festival tribute concert, Joni: A Portrait in Song.

Joni Mitchell behind the scenes
For once I have a deeper understanding of myself - 'a lot makes sense now'. Thank you Joni, thank you so much for letting CBC interview you. Donna Anne, Little Aldouane NB
Jian, you said it so perfectly at the end, "amazing". I found her honest and real and at no time did she have to tell me that she was being either - especially in that condicending way that so many others take it upon themselves to tell you they are being! I'll remember this for days to come. Joni & Jian, this was amazing!
How delightful that a music icon such as Joni can still talk about the importance of connection between her music and yourself. I knew her music was a remarkable gift when I first discovered it. In retrospect, I realize that the gift was its ability to profoundly resonate with my life and the strong connection I felt with humanity as a result. I am a better person as a result. Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!
A moving interview with deep respect and curiosity in the mix. Joni Mitchell is like one of her paintings I'm sure, colorfull-fluid-and original
Blaze on Traiblazer
I sat twelve feet away from Joni Mitchell at the Riverboat in Yorkville in 1969. She was a goddess and I was completely overwhelmed. It's interesting that she is self-critical but the reality is that she is one of the most brilliant songwriters of all time. My friend Mr Leahy was at Guelph, where I met him. When he saw Joni in concert John realized that he either had to go up on stage and embrace her or leave. When he opened the door to leave he ran into Leonard Cohen who was Joni's boyfriend at the time and one of our heroes. Her take on our generation is a bit skewed but her own contribution to that rich musical time was huge - beyond her own dreams.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't thank you enough for this interview. I grew up listening to Joni and it's so good to hear where she's actually been (I'm not a big follower of celebrity) and make sense of her past. Also, there were so many fascinating insights into the creative process. Who else could weave in folksy references to 60s pop culture with Nietsche, Schubert, and Picasso. I feel so nourished by listening to this interview. Thanks Jian. Thanks Joni.
im so dissapointed in Joni. Saying she cant sing because of 'the illness' and how it affects her sinuses and still puffing away on the cancer stick. Saying she was so 'above everyone' that she doesnt even have contemporaries - only people like picasso and debussy. So self-centered that even most of her paintings are self-portraits. No gratefulness. Putting down bob dylan for creating a character he hid behind. She meanwhile has created a sick body that seems totally centered on smoking poison that she cant even see how she has been sucked in by an addiction driven by corporate profit. They dont even know how to pay tribute? This is my tribute - the truth as i see it and you have yours. You really lost it Joni. Very sad indeed.
So rare to hear an artist of this magnitude matter-of-factly describe her creative process for song writing and painting, down to details of her recognizing internal energy flows and how she makes practical use of them to get the job(s) done. Illuminating and fascinating! Well done, Jian.
Also … personally speaking, I find (the) disdainful (and completely unnecessary) comments on Ms. Mitchell's personal choices to be somewhat offputting. Those personal criticisms say more about how highly these commenters rate their own opinions than … anything else.
Great Interview. What struck me though is Joni's continual chain-smoking. Does Joni not allow the possibility THIS is what has greatly limited her recent vocal woes? Laura Nyro gave up this insidious habit a decade before she passed away, and stated that it greatly helped her vocal range and expressiveness.
Thank you so very much for this.
It hurts me, as a passionate feminist who sees feminism in everything that Joni does, that she disowns feminism. It saddens me that her chain smoking has likely shortened her singing career and possible also her life. It's hard for me to get moralistic about this though, like my parents and friend did when they discussed the interview. Joni has given us incredible brilliance. I'm not sure I'd like her for a room-mate (the ego, the drinking and smoking, the quack theories about how her birthday astrology shaped her character), but as long as I don't have to I have about a zillion questions I wish she'd answer, and I'd go to considerable trouble to breath in her second-hand smoke. She occasionally appears arrogant or goes on rants in this interview, but there are also many parts where I wish Jian would let her finish a story or thought. Her tangents are sometimes too obscure to follow, but at least as often they're more interesting than whatever question Jian is cutting her off to fixate on. The real gems here are the stories Joni tells about herself and others ,including the artists and philosophers she refers to. There are some interesting ideas about the artistic process as well.
While I am a huge fan of Joni, I did read an article years ago in which she was sitting with Neil Young and Bob Dylan who were discussing their new albums. She was pissed off because when she tried to talk about her new album they paid no attention - as if she were a lightweight - talking about Neil as a "strummer" is pretty low - he and Dylan are likely two of our most brilliant song writers - ie Helpless and It Ain't Me Babe and a whole lot more! I still love Joni but ego is a big part of being brilliant and I can live with that. The three of them and Leonard and a number of others made our lives very rich. Don't agree that we had a problem - we were just lucky enough to be around for an amazing cultural time.

|Shane Anderson returns to Wauneta to take on duties at FVC
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Friday, 20 January 2012 15:41
Wauneta native Shane Anderson has returned to Wauneta from the Lincoln area with his young family after being named the new branch manager at the Frenchman Valley Co-op grain elevator in Wauneta
By Tina Kitt
The Wauneta Breeze
For the past few years Wauneta native Shane Anderson has been hoping an opportunity would arise allowing him and his young family a chance to move back to Southwest Nebraska.
When the position of Wauneta branch manager at Frenchman Valley Co-op opened up this fall, Anderson recognized it as just the opportunity he was looking for. He and his wife, Lindsay, moved to Wauneta from the southeast Nebraska town of Hickman with their two young children in early December, with Anderson taking over at FVC's Wauneta elevator on Dec. 12.
He replaces former branch manager Monty Mays who has taken over as manager of Wauneta Co-op Oil, one of the last independent small cooperatives left in the state, replacing Shane's great-uncle Peco Anderson in a job held for decades by Shane's grandfather Ted Anderson.
With a bookmarked copy of "Managing Stored Grains" laying on his desk, the 31-year-old says he has a lot to learn in taking on the new position at FVC but is enjoying every minute of it so far.
"A lot more goes into the operation here than I ever knew," notes Anderson, whose father has been an FVC employee for 25 years, working his way up to agronomy manager for the company headquartered in Imperial.
Shane credits staffers Matt Carlholm, Aaron McGinnis and Cindy Fischer at the Wauneta location with going the extra mile to help him learn about Wauneta's facilities. He has also been receiving on-the-job- training at FVC headquarters and working toward necessary certifications, including taking fumigation training last week.
"Everyone has been very supportive," said Anderson. "This is probably the best company I've ever worked for."
The 1999 Wauneta-Palisade High School graduate brings a wealth of business experience and know-how to the job.
After attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Anderson went to work for the university in landscape services, working his way up to grounds supervisor. In 2007 he took over as the manager of a grocery store in Hickman, a bedroom community of Lincoln. His wife also worked in the grocery store business as an employee at Super Savers in Lincoln.
In 2011, Anderson took on a bread truck route with Pan-O-Gold-Baking, but quickly recognized that the 14-hour work days would not be compatible with family life, leaving little time to spend with his family which has grown to include 4 1/2-year-old daughter Kiley and 5-month-old son Parker.
The move back to Wauneta has already allowed Anderson to spend more time hunting and fishing with his family and they are looking forward to camping trips to Enders Lake when the weather warms. Kiley is enrolled in preschool in Palisade and will begin kindergarten in August. Lindsay, who hails from Sioux City, Iowa, has joined the staff at Walgren's Super Market. The whole family also enjoys being closer to Anderson's parents, Cleve and Brenda Anderson of Wauneta, and his brother, Shelby, and wife, Katie, of McCook.
Reflecting on the way opportunities unfold, Anderson draws on fond childhood memories of crossing these same elevator scales as he rode along with his grandmother Carolyn Anderson in the family's old red truck. "And here I am now."
Anderson will be a working manager, tackling office duties along with elevator work.
"The learning curve is steep but it's been great. I'm enjoying every second of it," said Anderson, noting that he especially enjoys being out in the elevator as well as face-to-face interaction with FVC customers, many of whom he has known his whole life.

The 3-hour coming of age drama tells the story of high school student Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos) falling madly in love with blue-haired Emma (Léa Seydoux), their ensuing relationship, and the personal transformation Adèle must undergo as she comes to terms with her sexuality.
While being one of, if not the most critically-acclaimed film of the year, "Blue" was notably ignored in the Oscars Foreign Language Film category —along with 19 year old Exarchopoulos, who gave a more moving performance than I'd laid eyes on in a long time.

Summaries for IKBKB Gene
The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates the inhibitor in the inhibitor/NF-kappa-B complex, causing dissociation of the inhibitor and activation of NF-kappa-B. The encoded protein itself is found in a complex of proteins. Several transcript variants, some protein-coding and some not, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
GeneCards Summary for IKBKB Gene
IKBKB (Inhibitor Of Kappa Light Polypeptide Gene Enhancer In B-Cells, Kinase Beta) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with IKBKB include severe combined immunodeficiency due to ikk2 deficiency and immunodeficiency 15. Among its related pathways are PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway. GO annotations related to this gene include protein homodimerization activity and protein kinase activity. An important paralog of this gene is CHUK.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for IKBKB Gene
Serine kinase that plays an essential role in the NF-kappa-B signaling pathway which is activated by multiple stimuli such as inflammatory cytokines, bacterial or viral products, DNA damages or other cellular stresses. Acts as part of the canonical IKK complex in the conventional pathway of NF-kappa-B activation and phosphorylates inhibitors of NF-kappa-B on 2 critical serine residues. These modifications allow polyubiquitination of the inhibitors and subsequent degradation by the proteasome. In turn, free NF-kappa-B is translocated into the nucleus and activates the transcription of hundreds of genes involved in immune response, growth control, or protection against apoptosis. In addition to the NF-kappa-B inhibitors, phosphorylates several other components of the signaling pathway including NEMO/IKBKG, NF-kappa-B subunits RELA and NFKB1, as well as IKK-related kinases TBK1 and IKBKE. IKK-related kinase phosphorylations may prevent the overproduction of inflammatory mediators since they exert a negative regulation on canonical IKKs. Also phosphorylates other substrates including NCOA3, BCL10 and IRS1. Within the nucleus, acts as an adapter protein for NFKBIA degradation in UV-induced NF-kappa-B activation.
IkappaB Kinase (IKK) is an enzyme complex that forms part of the NF-kappaB signaling pathway. The IKK complex is comprised of three subunits (IKKalpha (IKK1), IKKbeta (IKK2) and IKKgamma (NEMO)), the alpha- and beta-subunits are catalytically active whereas the gamma-subunit has a regulatory function.

Spring Salad
When I read this recipe I thought it would be great…and it is wonderful! I had 6 guests here for dinner that happened on the spur of the moment, (imagine that, a new recipe that I hadn't even tried before!) I usually try new recipes with just my family however this one is a winner.
I was at the grocery and the strawberries and kiwi were looking right back at me. I just bought enough to make the recipe. I will buy in bulk when the fruit is in season and cost less.
I served this salad with a grilled sirloin steak, macaroni and cheese, green beans, and homemade whole wheat bread.
Spring salad
1 head Ice burg lettuce
1stalk of romaine lettuce
1-cup fresh sliced strawberries
1 kiwifruit Peeled and sliced
¼ cup chopped red onion
¼ to ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
2 to 3 tablespoons slivered almonds
Combine and enjoy!

A lot of the penalties these days are judgement calls. Unless it is black and white such as speeding in the pits or crossing the white line at pit exit people are going to judge infractions differently. In baseball the umpires get a reputation for the way that they call pitches. An individual can be consistent in what they call but they do not all call things the same way.

It's Tropebusting time! Yes, like Mythbusters, but with Tropes! Sadly, there will be no gratuitous explosions ala the Savage-Hyneman team, but there will be pictures! Maybe even pictures of explosions! Ok, that's enough exclamation points, onward to the busting of the Matriarchy tropes that exist in Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and gaming!
First, you may be wondering what exactly a matriarchy is, let alone what a Matriarchy would be (yes the capitalization makes a difference). In anthropology, there are many terms for categorizing the way a culture/society is structured: matrilineal/patrilineal means land, property, and inheritance are passed down through the mother's line (matri-) or the father's (patri-); matrilocal/patrilocal means that new family units move in with (or move closer to) the mother's family or the father's family; and, lastly, matriarchal/patriarchal means that power is usually held by the mother (or women in general) or by the father (or men in general). Now in sociological and feminist theory, there is a concept called the Patriarchy that takes that last anthropological category and expands upon it to describe a culture that consolidates all (or nearly all) of the power in men and promotes sexism and discrimination against women. There is a contrasting, hypothetical concept called Matriarchy, which would theoretically be the exact opposite of a Patriarchy. It's purely hypothetical, though, because such a culture has never existed (at least on a large, global scale like the Patriarchy). Because we live in a Patriarchy, and Patriarchal cultures have been the norm for most of recorded history, the idea of a Matriarchy is interesting territory to explore in Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and the games that belong to those genres. Sadly, most of time that this particular territory is explored, we only ever get some really bad and problematic tropes instead of the good speculative fiction that is (or should be) the hallmarks of those genres.
The most prevalent of these tropes is that Matriarchies are Evil, like really, really super-duper EVIL. The Drow, of DnD fame, are one of the best examples of an Evil Matriarchy (and a Sexy Matriarchy, but I'll get to that in a moment). For those not in the know, the Drow are the dark elves of the Forgotten Realms that live underground and are EVIL. Very EVIL and very Matriarchal… and not by coincidence. Their evilness is in their Matriarchy: they worship an evil demon god, Lolth the Spider Queen, who revels in torture and murder; they have a competitive Great House system led by the house Matrons wherein house prominence is gained by exterminating one of the higher houses; and relegation of men to the lesser valued status of Warriors, Mages, and sperm donators while women get to be the powerful Matrons and Priestesses. There's whips and chains, ritual sacrifices, and more backstabbing than you can shake a poisoned dagger at. They are evil because they are Matriarchal and ruthlessly subjugate half of their population. However, there is also a very strong sense that they are a Matriarchy because they are so unbelievably evil, that a society run by women is just inherently evil. The inter-house competition is based around jealousy, vanity, gossip, and frenemy-type alliances that always end with backstabbing, all of which are heavily gendered to be the stereotypical not-so-fair traits of the 'fairer sex'. Sexism is still sexism, and does not look any better when it has a fantasy veneer painted over it.
Now, you might ask, "Wait, Zee, isn't the Patriarchy like really EVIL too?" Well, yes, the Patriarchy is evil because it promotes the subjugation of half of humanity, but it's not because men are inherently evil. What we see in the Drow society, and the many Evil Matriarchies depicted in literature and games, is not just a Patriarchy-flip though. Rather, they are grossly exaggerated reversals of the Patriarchy. Very few fictional Matriarchies accurately reflect the reality of contemporary, or historical, Patriarchies. There have been many horrible atrocities and greivous violations of basic human rights committed by Patriarchies, both current and ancient, but by depicting an exaggerated reversal, the Evil Matriarchy trope makes a farce of these tragedies. It sends the message that the ongoing inequality and oppression faced by women today, and in the past, is not that bad because it could be worse, they could face the horrific fates of the men showcased in these fictional Matriarchies. Instead of getting insightful commentary on a Patriarchal system (or any hierarchal system), fiction that utilizes this trope only provides the audience with sexist stereotypes and belittling depictions of the plight of women who have suffered under real-world Patriarchies.
One of the other prevlant tropes is that Matriarchies are Sexy. Smokin' hot babes, kink and fetish gear, random girl-on-girl action, and as little clothing as possible are all big parts of these societies. The Drow, are again, one of the best examples of this (and probably the progenitor of most modern hyper-sexualized fictional Matriarchies), but there have been many Sexy Matriarchies throughout literature and gaming. From the Amazons warrrios of Ancient Greece to the (mostly) benevolent Asari of the Mass Effect universe, as well as the Kelari of Rift, the Night Elvesof Warcraft, and almost every other iteration of dark elf, these Matriarchal societies range the gamut of good and evil, passive and aggressive, but they all share a large degree of sexualization. This trope stems from a couple of places. The first is that the overt sexuality of the women in the Matriarchy is a symbol of their power. This ties into the prevailing notion in our real-world society that much of a woman's power and value lays in her sexuality and how she wields it, whether its as a good, chaste virgin or a dangerous, seductive spy (just to pick two of the many archetypes). It's a really complex topic (and would double the length of this already long post if I delved too deep into it) but it's the same notion that creates the sexual double standard of slut v. stud and the virgin-whore dichotomy. The Sexy Matriarchy trope relies on this Patriarchal idea of female sexuality as power to convey the message that the women of the society are powerful. This has some pretty unfortunate implications though when it comes to Evil Matriarchies that are also Sexy Matriarchies, like the Drow. The idea transforms from female sexuality is their power base to female sexuality is evil and corruptive, which is definitely not a great message to be sending out.
Of course, the other root to many Sexy Matriarchies is simply the real-world impetus to sexually objectify women, even when it makes absolutely no sense to do so. I highly doubt a real Matriarchy would have the women, the people in power, be the ones who make their bodies sexually available and pleasing at all times for the low-status men. Pretty sure it would be the opposite: men would be the decorative, 'fairer' sex. Instead, we get all-powerful women shoe-horned into chain-mail bikinis and sexy poses to titillate the presumed male audience. This, my friends, is what is called the Male Gaze, a feminist theory that describes how much of our media is framed to always view the world and its inhabitants through the male gaze. That means men are actors and subjects, while women, no matter how powerful they are in a supposed Matriarchy, are still only objects to be lusted after.
This ties into another trope: Matriarchies that look suspiciously like Patriarchies despite being ruled by women. A lot of Matriarchies have some aspect of this, mostly because they are imperfect reversals of a Patriarchy due to exaggeration or just misunderstanding of what a Patriarchy is or what traits are inherent to a gender. To use the earlier example of Drow, the fact that male Drow tend to both be fully clothed and have more career paths open to them (warrior+assassin+mage verses priestess) than their female counterparts is not exactly logical in such a ruthless and strong Matriarchy. An even better example lies in the Salarians of the Mass Effect universe. A supposedly strict Matriarchal race, the Salarians have conveniently designed gender roles that keep all of the women (who make themselves a minority by tightly controlling reproduction to make sure only a handful of women are born each generation) on the home planet while the men go off and do important manly things in space. Their Council representative (the ruling board of the entire galaxy) is a male, all of their ambassadors are male, their military commanders are male. In fact, you never see a female Salarian in either of the two released games. For a Matriarchy, that's not a whole lot of female power being displayed outside of the domestic sphere (i.e. their home planet) or child-rearing and procreative duties, which is a pretty Patriarchal world view.
Other Matriarchies that fall under this trope seem to pretty much be Matriarchies in name only. They have a female head of state or leader, some sassy girl power quirps, and that's pretty much it for the "all (or almost all) power is consolidated in the women while promoting sexism and discrimination against men" part of the definition of a Matriarchy. Most of the playable-race Matriarchies you encounter in MMO's will be of this category: the Dark Elves of Everquest, the Night Elves of WoW, the Kelari of Rift, etc. Next time you're running around in one of these games, pay attention to how many more men of the race you see then women, especially with quest givers or people that are important lore-wise. You'll quickly see that for the most part the women are more sexualized than the men more often, aren't actually in more powerful positions, or are still subject to a lot of the double standards and stereotypes that women have to deal with in the real-world Patriarchy. With this trope of Not-Really a Matriarchy, the term is only applied to them, or they're only given the most vague surface resemblance to one, as a shorthand to the audience that these people are kind of evil or alien or exotic.
All of these tropes, either on their own or used in conjunction, send out some pretty peculiar messages about women: that women holding power is bad or odd, that female sexuality needs to be controlled lest it be used for evil, and that even when women run things they are still held back by their gender and need men around to do most of the work. It's been theorized that these messages were actually the main purpose behind the myth of the Amazons back in Ancient Greece. While the Amazons might have existed, tales and myths of their society were exaggerated for the express purpose of proving that women were inferior, irrational, vengeful, and vain and used as justification for their subservience. As for nowadays, I'm going to be generous and give the people who create these ficitional Matriarchies the benefit of the doubt that they're not trying to craft outrageously sexist propaganda. Rather, I think that the messages at the heart of the Amazon mythos have made their way into our collective consciousness and these modern, fictional Matriarchies are simply playing off of these stereotypes in attempts to create races that are easily readable as evil or alien in our Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and games. Which, of course, is still very sexist.
Quinnae, over at the Border House, has a great post that articulates some of these problematic messages that the Matriarchal tropes bring up. Her post made an excellent point that many games are using these stereotypes to play on a reverse of the male-fantasy that most games and fiction cater to. Instead of the typical male-fantasy of nubile maidens whose affection they can earn with their heroic deeds, powerful Matriarchies force the male audience to come face-to-face with the male-nightmare. It's the primordial fear all humans have of past wrong-doings coming back to haunt them; the what-if of women finally gaining power and doing to men what was done to them. This is why most of the powerful Evil Matriarchies that are encountered are adventure material (so that they can be overcome or conquered as one astute commenter points out in Quinnae's post), but most player-character or ally races are of the non-threatening Not-Really a Matriarchy category. The former is used to titillate, challenge, and reward the assumed male adventurer, the latter is there to provide an interesting, exotic backdrop for the player, but both scenarios rely on sexist stereotypes to cater to the presumed Patriarchal world view of a male gamer.
So, if these Matriarchy tropes are just sexist stereotypes, what would a real Matriarchy look like? We don't really know. We know what some matriarchal (in the anthropological sense) cultures look like, but there have never really been any Matriarchies on a large scale. One would assume that a Matriarchy would look much like today's Patriarchy: a nuanced and complex system of both subtle and extreme oppressions and privileges that can be simultaneously easy to identify but hard to untangle the root causes of. The speculative fiction of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, and the interactive nature of games, are great ways to deconstruct and analyze the Patriarchy through the metaphor of a Matriarchy. These tropes, however, do little more than support and propagate the Patriarchy (and really bad Sci-Fi and Fantasy stories).

IFSC stands for 'Indian Financial System Code'. A IFSC code is a unique code to identify a bank branch uniquely. It is used in processing NEFT and RTGS transaction from one bank account to another bank account i.e. interbank money transfers. We at ifsccodeindia.com provide an easy way to find these ifsc codes. You can also cross check the IFSC codes in the cheque book of your account. Most of the banks print the IFSC code of the bank branch in which your account is opened.
The IFSC code is 11 alphanumeric characters code that uniquely identifies a financial institution in India. The IFSC code has 3 sections within the full code which identifies the bank and the branch uniquely. Thus, IFSC Code for any two branches of the same bank will also be different.
First 4 characters – Bank Code – Identifies financial institution uniquely (only letters)
Next 1 characters – is 0 (left for future use)
Next 6 characters – Identifies Branch (Digits)
The above mentioned format of IFSC Code is provided by Reserve Bank of India and represents a particular bank or bank branch. These codes are used for transferring the money between banks especially the NEFT transactions. If you want to do a direct wire transfer between banks, your bank will probably ask for the NEFT code of the bank branch receiving the funds along with the account number of the person or entity to which you are sending the money.
Just Select Your Bank and Find the IFSC Code For Your Branch

California's Push for Labeling of Genetically Modified Foods
Californians seem to be doing everything right these days. Achieving the tall and slender beach-body look, eating less than kids in other states, and now likely voting to enforce a new law that would require labeling of genetically engineered food. Is there anything they aren't doing right? Well, maybe.
If approved, California would be the first state in the nation to require GMO labeling. And according to a recent poll by California Right to Know, it's likely to happen as nine out of 10 California voters want the labeling to be enforced.
However, new research on the effectiveness of food labeling suggests it may not be the one-cure-fix-all solution Californians, and other health-conscious Americans, are looking for. This is because a labeling initiative may end up making it harder for consumers to know what's in their food, since it makes the definition of 'natural' food very unclear.
When we think of the word natural when it relates to food, we think organic, healthy, and no artificial preservatives, flavorings or ingredients. But apparently the term natural is becoming much harder to define, especially since the federal government has refused to make the term any clearer, allowing food companies to continue labeling their food as 'natural' when it may very well not be.

Gwen Stefani Shares Breastfeeding Pic With Baby Apollo! (VIDEO)
In the words of Gwen Stefani, it's her life and she'll breastfeed wherever she pleases. The No Doubt frontwoman recently took to Instagram to share a personal snapshot of her almost 5-month-old son, Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale. Granted, we still haven't gotten to see a proper look at this babe, but this sweet mommy moment was just too cute to pass up!
"#Switzerland!!!!!" the proud momma captioned the pic of her breastfeeding son Apollo (who is covered-up with a star-adorned blanket) while the country stands as a picturesque backdrop. This mother of three — also has sons Kingston, 8, and Zuma, 5 — is particularly private when it comes to her kiddies, so seeing this photo was definitely a rare moment.
The 44-year-old welcomed her third son with husband of nearly 12 years, Gavin Rossdale, 48, back in February. While Gwen hoped she'd have a little girl so she could "hand over the crown," it seems like this momma had no problem adjusting to life raising three boys.
As for what we can expect from Gwen this year, she'll be taking a seat next to Adam Levine, Pharrell, and Blake Shelton on Season 7 of The Voice. We can't wait to see this red-lipped icon dole out the musical advice — and watch husband Gavin be a mentor! — starting on Monday, September 22, 2014 on NBC.
What do you think of Gwen's breastfeeding photo? Sound off in the comments below!

2012 will be the year to get in on the social media action. Facebook has gotten so huge that if a start-up can get just a small fraction of their traffic they can consider them self a huge success. Not only will you see new Social Media platforms but watch out for the return of some of the old ones. The future will be about specialized platforms and subjects.
The return of MySpace. Justin Timberlake has reportedly purchased a majority stake in MySpace and is looking to revive it as a place for fans to interact with entertainers.
"There's a need for a place where fans can go to interact with their favorite entertainers, listen to music, watch videos, share and discover cool stuff and just connect. MySpace has the potential to be that place," Timberlake said in a statement. "Art is inspired by people and vice versa, so there's a natural social component to entertainment."
