Data visualization is (re)presentation of data where "information is abstracted in some form including the attributes or variables for the units of information". As a subcategory of information visualization. data visualization deals with a range of graphics, geographic and spatial data (e.g., thematic cartography). It also refers to techniques where images, diagrams or animations are used to communicate information of varying degrees of complexity. Using visualization to convey complexity is an effective mode of communicating abstract and concrete ideas. Some historical examples are Lescaux cave painting, Egyptian hieroglyphics, Greek geometry and da Vinci's methods of technical drawing.
Data visualization today is used in information science, education, engineering (e.g., product visualization), interactive multimedia, medicine, and so on. A typical data visualization application can be seen in the field of computer graphics which may be the most important development in visualizing information since the invention of central perspective in the Renaissance. The development of animation has also helped to advance the field of data and information visualization. Using data visualization techniques can help you to explore the digital storytelling, learn how colour conveys information our brains recognize before we're fully aware of it, discover how books reveal clues to our deeper selves and find out how researchers investigate unknown phenomena, from initial sketches to published papers using data.

The Doctor has graced our television screens – and occasionally the big-screen – for 50 years this month, but given that he's lived for 900-odd years those episodes chronicle only a fraction of his adventures. To fill in the blank spots there are a wealth of novelisations and original stories featuring all his different incarnations (so far) and a host of excitement that the BBC special effects budgets of the '70s and '80s would struggle to deliver. Here's our guide to the pages of Gallifrey…
Target Books' Novelisations
Target's range of novelised TV stories was a publishing phenomenon in the '70s and '80s and was much beloved of the pre-video generations. Back then you could only imagine what previous Doctors' adventures had looked like. These things filled the gaps tremendously, often leading to huge disappointment in the actual TV originals when they surfaced on video.
The first book in the range, David Whittaker's Doctor Who In An Exciting Adventure With The Daleks (later – thankfully - shortened to just Doctor Who And The Daleks) was actually written for a different company, Frederick Muller, as were its immediate successors Doctor Who And The Zarbi and Doctor Who And The Crusaders. Bought up and republished by Target in 1973, they kicked off a range of a further 160 books that were still being published in 1991. Every TV story, barring three by Douglas Adams and two by Eric Saward, got the Target treatment. There was also a short-lived attempt at a spin-off range of standalone original novels about The Doctor's companions (Turlough and Harry Sullivan were ultimately the only candidates picked) and a trio of novelisations of unmade scripts from the cancelled 1986 TV season.
Author of more than sixty of Target's novels was legendary former script editor Terrance Dicks, still much loved within fandom for repeated descriptions like the TARDIS' "wheezing, groaning sound". As the elder statesman of Doctor Who fiction, he continued to get invited to contribute to the later Virgin and BBC ranges - commissioned by his former readers.
If you only read one: At the risk of seeming disloyal to Terrance Dicks, it has to be Donald Cotton's hilarious The Myth Makers. The First Doctor gets involved in the siege of Troy, and epic poet Homer is the first-person narrator.
Virgin's New Adventures
Virgin bought Target in 1989 (the year the original TV series was finally axed) and with nothing left to novelise, got permission from the BBC to start producing original fiction. The result was The New Adventures, an intriguing range reflecting a series that had grown up with its audience. These weren't kids' tie-in novels but, on the whole, proper science fiction for adults, chronicling the continuing travels of Sylvester McCoy's Seventh Doctor. "Stories too broad and deep for the small screen" was the official line.
Having started on television with a clownish persona, McCoy's Doctor had become progressively darker across his three seasons, and The New Adventures ran with that incarnation, the manipulative "Time's Champion". There was more moral ambiguity, more violence, and some sex (although it wasn't all serious: Dave Stone's Sky Pirates is a Terry Pratchett pastiche, and Andy Lane's All Consuming Fire mixes Sherlock Holmes and the Cthulhu Mythos). Grange Hill reject Ace had a story arc where she left the Doctor for three years and then came back an amazon. Perhaps the range's greatest success was in introducing entirely new companions: "Adjudicators" (think 2000AD's Judges) Roz Forrester and Chris Cwej, and, brilliantly, chaotic interstellar archaeologist Bernice "Benny" Summerfield, who arrives in Paul Cornell's Love And War.
Along with Cornell, other New Adventures authors who got their start here and continued on to involvement with the revivified series include Mark Gatiss, Gareth Roberts, and a certain Russell T. Davies. The series ran for 61 books, 59 about McCoy, and the last, The Dying Days, handing over to Eighth Doctor Paul McGann. As an experiment, Nigel Robinson's Birthright didn't feature The Doctor at all, and after the BBC took back the rights The New Adventures continued for a time as a Doctor-less series centred on Benny. The low-print-run final novels with The Doctor (Marc Platt's Gormenghast-influenced Lungbarrow in particular) are now highly collectible and insanely expensive.
If you only read one: Paul Cornell's Human Nature, which was the basis for the David Tennant storyline, but without the scarecrows.
Virgin's Missing Adventures
With the success of the Seventh-Doctor novels, Virgin started a second range for the rest of the Time Lord's incarnations. Where The New Adventures were a broadly continuing narrative, The Missing Adventures were set up to plug gaps between original TV stories. The first, Paul Cornell's Goth Opera, was a vampire story for the Fifth Doctor, and, for that extra publicity kick, a companion piece to Terrance Dick's Blood Harvest published the same month.
As a range designed to fit into series continuity, The Missing Adventures on the whole played safer with the franchise than The New Adventures. There were sequels to TV stories – The Sands Of Time followed on from The Pyramids Of Mars; Mr Sin returned in The Shadow Of Weng-Chiang – and more attempts to pastiche the vibes of particular eras (Gareth Roberts' three outings for the Fourth Doctor, Romana II and K9 were particularly successful).
Not everyone played the game, however: Daniel O'Mahony, author of the terrifying New Adventures book Falls The Shadow, caused controversy with his dark and violent First Doctor story The Man In The Velvet Mask (featuring the French Revolution and the Marquis De Sade). John Peel's Evolution saw the Fourth Doctor joining forces with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, causing canon problems since he also meets Sherlock Holmes in the New Adventures. But Troughton's Doctor went to the Land of Fiction in The Mind Robber, so basically anything goes.
If you only read one: Lance Parkin's Cold Fusion, which is mind-bending sci-fi with the Fifth Doctor (and a cameo for the Seventh) and an inside-out TARDIS.
BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures
With the possibility of a TV revival around the 1996 Paul McGann TV-movie, the BBC took back all its Doctor Who rights from third parties, putting an end to the Virgin Books era. Ultimately, however, when the movie failed to kickstart anything much, BBC Books simply continued the Virgin format of a current-Doctor and a past-Doctor range, publishing monthly. Many of the same authors were involved, and the only real difference was that the current Doctor was now the Eighth, with the Seventh shunted to occasional appearances in the other strand. With 75 adventures over eight years, the books make McGann the longest incumbent Doctor with the most stories, despite having only appeared on screen once.
Initially, the Eighth Doctor range seemed to be skewing younger than The New Adventures, with pedestrian stories involving classic monsters like the Daleks and the Zygons and a boring '90s schoolgirl companion in Sam Jones. The range kicked off with The Eight Doctors, which sees Terrance Dicks on autopilot, although he's mischievously scathing about the events of the McGann film. Reasonably quickly, however, the New Adventures' format re-established itself. There were better, more interesting companions in Fitz (a '60s wastrel), Anji (essentially Milly from This Life) and Compassion (a humanoid TARDIS), and multi-novel story arcs that were complex to the point of baffling.
Particularly ambitious and controversial was Lawrence Miles' Interference diptych, which introduced the time-meddling Faction Paradox and gave Jon Pertwee's Doctor a different death to his TV finale. The repercussions got so tangled that the range eventually drew a line under the whole affair and rebooted (in The Burning) with an amnesiac, TARDIS-less Doctor. There was also a fascinating new recurring villain in renegade 18th-Century spy Sabbath.
If you only read one: Jonathan Morris' Anachrophobia offers time-manipulating aliens and a base under siege.
BBC Past Doctor Adventures
These books were more-or-less identical to The Missing Adventures in concept, although considerably more vague about where in continuity they're supposed to be taking place. As with the Eighth Doctor range, these Past Doctor adventures started shakily with Martin Day & Keith Topping's flippant Devil Goblins From Neptune (Pertwee) and Steve Lyons' Agatha Christie-ish The Murder Game (Troughton). With Mike Tucker & Robert Perry's Illegal Alien however (McCoy in WWII London, plus Cybermen) the series kicked into gear. McCoy playing the spoons in a London Underground shelter during an air raid is something we really wish we'd seen on TV.
While, as we've said, there's not much new going on here, the BBC's Past Doctor books did seem to do particularly well with historical adventures. Stand-outs in that sub-genre were Mark Gatiss' The Roundheads (Troughton in the English Civil War); Steve Lyons' The Witch Hunters (Hartnell in Salem); and Martin Day's Bunker Soldiers (Hartnell and the Mongol Hordes). Tom Baker's Doctor also gets great outings in Jonathan Morris' Festival Of Death and Simon Messingham's Tomb Of Valdemar. Chris Boucher wrote a decent sequel to his TV Robots Of Death with the novel Corpse Marker, and Mick Lewis got banned from ever writing a Who novel again when he came up with the Troughton political jungle cannibal horror Combat Rock.
If you only read one: Dave Stone's Heart of TARDIS is a very silly joint outing for the Second and Fourth Doctors, in which they never meet. It contains an astoundingly good gag about K-9's appearance on Queer As Folk.
Telos Publishing
Running alongside the BBC range, indie publishers Telos (named after the planet of the Cybermen) nabbed a licence to publish these hardcover novellas. The series began in 2001 with Kim Newman's Time And Relative, and ended with its fifteenth instalment, Simon Clark's The Dalek Factor, in 2004.
All the pre-revival Doctors made an appearance in the range, some more than once. On two occasions however – Daniel O'Mahony's Cabinet Of Light and Clark's final entry – we were reading about an unspecified incarnation. Robert Perry & Mike Tucker created a one-off companion in Companion Piece's mysterious Catherine Broome. And, reflecting the by-now sprawling nature of off-TV Doctor Who, Iain McLachlin's Blood And Hope imported the Fifth Doctor's Ancient-Egyptian companion Erimem from the Big Finish range of CD radio plays.
If you only read one: Our own Kim Newman's Time And Relative, which is an adventure for the First Doctor and Susan set before their first appearance in An Unearthly Child.
BBC New Series Adventures
Sales for the BBC Eighth Doctor and Past Doctors ranges had dwindled in their final years, to the extent that the schedule was halved from two novels a month to one. Perhaps understandably, with the ushering in of the Russell T. Davis / Christopher Eccleston new TV series, the adult novels were axed completely, and the books once again became kids' TV tie-ins.
We weren't quite back to the Target days, however, since commissions remained for original fiction rather than novelisations of TV episodes, and many of the now-established Who-fiction authors – Justin Richards, Jacqueline Rayner, Steve Cole, Gareth Roberts and the rest – made the jump. The remit was to stick solely to The Doctor's current incarnation and companions, however: no past Doctors here. The books are published twice a year in batches of three, starting in 2005. There was a hiatus in 2012, but a new three emerged in April of this year. There's also a "Decide Your Destiny" range, along Fighting Fantasy / Choose Your Own Adventure lines.
If you only read one: Awful title notwithstanding, try Tenth Doctor tale Martha In The Mirror by the always-reliable Justin Richards. Part ghost story, part whodunit, part Curse Of Peladon and part Warrior's Gate.
BBC Guest Authors
It might be early days to officially call this a range, but after a few years of children's novels BBC Books started sporadically experimenting with meatier tomes again in 2010.
Key to this policy has been the drafting in of non-Who "guest authors", although they were initially still beholden to the on-screen Eleventh Doctor. First up was eternal champion Michael Moorcock in 2010, with the Wodehousian yarn The Coming Of The Terraphiles, followed by Dan Abnett's The Silent Stars Go By (Ice Warriors) and Jenny Colgan's Dark Horizon (Vikings). In 2012 "hard" sci-fi stalwart Stephen Baxter was tempted aboard for the first Past Doctor novel in seven years, with The Wheel Of Ice.
Meanwhile, the Douglas Adams estate finally allowed the novelisation of the Tom Baker adventure Shada (left incomplete as a TV serial due to a BBC strike). Missing Adventures star Gareth Roberts got that gig, and has since been commissioned to do the same again with Adams' City of Death, due next year.
If you only read one: Stephen Baxter's The Wheel Of Ice. Because Troughton.

A 23-year-old Minneapolis man was sentenced Sept. 18 in Anoka County District Court to four months in jail because he threatened another man with an air-soft gun that he modified to make it look real.
Aaron Michael Kreitz was sentenced to 120 days in jail for the felony terroristic threats conviction, but given credit for the 80 days he was behind bars after this arrest.
According to the criminal complaint, Anoka County Sheriff's Office deputies on the evening of May 14 were dispatched to an Andover home on the 16000 block of Yellow Pine St. N.W. on a report of a gun threat.
The caller told police that Kreitz had pulled out what looked like a chrome-colored handgun and asked "Have you ever been jacked?" He believed the gun was real and threw up his hands to deflect the gun, then ran next door to a neighbor's house and called 911. He told the police that he was afraid for his life.
Authorities later learned that Kreitz had cut off the orange tip of the fake gun to make it look real.
The court ordered Kreitz to write a letter of apology to the victim within 10 days and provide it to corrections and the judge. Kreitz is not supposed to have any direct or indirect contact with the victim, according to the terms of his one year and one day probation that the court handed down.
Kreitz could also face a $500 court fine unless he earns his GED within 90 days.
Another condition of his probation is he cannot use or possess any firearms or replicas of firearms.

Tillakaratne Dilshan plucked the ball from the air at the long off fence, as an island watched with its heart in its mouth. Martin Guptill could only close his eyes and walk, for Lasith Malinga had forced him to blink. One ball later, Sri Lanka had defeated New Zealand by 6 runs. But that isn't the story of this match.
40 overs and 348 runs weren't enough to decide a winner, for the the Super 8s started with a Super Over, with Sri Lanka winning the eliminator. But nobody knew that it would end this way, definitely not Jayawardene and Dilshan, who came out to chase the 175-run target that the Black Caps had given them.
Time does freeze when Jayawardene steps out to drive, and it doesn't stand still like his head, when he flicks it to midwicket. Opening partner Dilshan played his heart out as well, pulling and driving like nobody was watching, as the Lankans brought up 62 runs with just five overs being bowled. The Black Caps were clearly finding it hard to put their thinking hats on.
Seriously. Ross Taylor gave the first ball to Nathan McCullum, who gave away 17 runs. Didn't he have anyone else to turn to?
Thankfully, Jayawardene decided to gift his wicket away, top-edging Jacob Oram to Daniel Vettori at fine leg. Not that the Sri Lanka were keen to relent, as No.3 Kumar Sangakkara came down the track to hit the ball to midwicket. Four runs in Vettori's bowling figures. Oram's height wasn't respected either, as his short deliveries were put away with ease to the leg side fence, with Sangakkara's handsome bat sending the white ball to the cleaners.
Then came the mix-up. Dilshan fresh from completing his 50, played James Franklin between deep square leg and midwicket, Sangakkara went for a second run, was sent back, for good, as Brendon McCullum negated the poor throw with some great work behind the stumps. Jeevan Mendis' life at the crease lasted just nine deliveries, and it was clear that Dilshan had to carry his bat through. 28 needed from 18, with the shore still some distance away.
Six followed by heartbreak. Right after hitting James Franklin to midwicket for a six, Dilshan went for a second run, threw in the dive, only to be beaten by Southee's excellent arm, and McCullum's gloved digits. Silence everywhere. The first hole in the boat. Thisara Perera, the second. The equation- 8 needed from 6. The match looked to swing New Zealand's way, before LahiruThirimanne came outside the off-stump to scoop the ball to the long leg fence. One needed from one.
Ross Taylor thinks he has hit the stumps, without the ball in his hands, he thinks the Sri Lankans have won, and an entire island agrees with him. The third umpire Steve Davis feels otherwise. Replays show that the ball slipped from his hands, and hit the stumps, with Thirimanne's bat still outside the crease. That moment when you don't know whether to cry or laugh, eat or drink. Time to begin the match within the match.
Sadly for New Zealand, they won the toss, tied the match, but lost the super over.
Opener's day out in Pallekele
Earlier, the Kiwi openers started well after being asked to pad up by their skipper. Guptill took the aerial route, taking a short step forward, to lift the ball to the long on fence. He tried it again off the next delivery, didn't connect, with the ball flying to Thisara Perera at mid on, only to be dropped. Lasith Malinga wasn't spared either, as the batsman used the depth of the crease, turning his bat, to send the ball past backward short leg, for four. In a subsequent over, the right-hander smashed him down the ground, without any hesitation. New Zealand were chugging along, with no breakthrough in sight for Jayawardene.
Enter Mahamarakkala Kurukulasooriya Patabendige Akila Dananjaya Perera. An 18-year old debutant who was a net bowler only a few months ago, picked up a wicket in his very first over, offering a flighted delivery, that Guptill hit straight to Perera at long off. Unfortunately, he was hit below his left eye, after a caught and bowled chance from Rob Nicol, went through his hands. The teenager ignored the swelling, and carried on, bowling from around the wicket.
But birthday boy Brendon McCullum, was in no mood to offer his sympathy, using his feet to get to the pitch of the ball, smashing it for six over long off. Ajantha Mendis however got rid of the dangerous Kiwi, with a slog sweep taking the bottom edge, only to fly into Thisara Perera's hands at deep square leg.
Rob Nicol meanwhile was coolly living by the sword, getting on his knees to swat the ball for three sixes on the on side, bringing up his 50 in the process. Boy wonder Dananjaya soon forced an error out of Nicol, with the ball flying to Thirimanne at deep midwicket. Skipper Ross Taylor did well to play some cheeky shots , by playing late, before falling to a slower delivery from the back of Nuwan Kulasekara's right hand. Slog….Over.
By the time the 120th delivery was bowled, New Zealand had lost 7 wickets, and had given Sri Lanka 175 runs to win. Lady Luck however, had some other plans.

Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 25
By Ilkin Izzet - Trend:
The events in Ukraine should be resolved by political means, Asim Mollazade, chairman of the Democratic Reforms Party said, commenting on the latest events in the country at the Azerbaijani parliament's (Milli Majlis) plenary session on Feb. 25.
"Ukraine and Azerbaijan are allies," he said. "Azerbaijan as a member of GUAM should provide its support on the defense of Ukrainian territorial integrity within the framework of international organizations."
" Territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty of Ukraine should be ensured," the MP stressed.
The mass protests in Ukraine began on November 21, 2013, when the government announced the suspension of the preparation of an Association Agreement with the EU.
Large-scale street riots resumed in Kiev on February 18, 2014. The belligerent crowd tried to come close to the parliament of Ukraine and radicals broke into the building in the center of Kiev, burned tires and threw stones at cars and police officers. The opposition used firearms for the first time, according to the police. Some 80 people were killed and over 600 injured as a result of the riots.
Negotiations to settle the conflict in Ukraine were held in Kiev on Feb.21. Later a relevant agreement was signed between President Viktor Yanukovych and opposition leaders.
On Feb.22, the Verkhovna Rada (parliament of Ukraine) violating the reached agreements and without waiting for the president to sign the law to a return of the 2004 Constitution, made a decision to change the basic law and sacked the parliamentary leaders, Interior Ministry, Defense Ministry and the country's Security Service.
Yanukovych's interview with journalists in Kharkov was published on Feb.22, in which he stated that he remains the legally elected head of state and is not going to resign, while the country has all the signs of a coup d'état. Yanukovych also said that the decisions now being adopted by the Verkhovna Rada are 'illegal'. The Rada voted for a resolution on the transfer of powers of the president of Ukraine to speaker Turchinov until presidential elections on May 25.

Starting in January, I decided to publish my online income reports. I did this for two main reasons.
The first is that I wanted to hold myself accountable to hitting my financial goals in life. We plan to pay off our home in the next five years and to do this will take making as much extra money as possible.
The second reason is that I want to encourage people like you that making decent money online is possible. I remember when I started blogging, I would read income reports from guys like Pat Flynn who was making over $10,000 per month at the time. I thought, if I made $1,000 per month consistently that would be great.
Well, this month I am happy to say I almost doubled that goal. For the month of September, I made $1985.73! Before I get into the details, here is the latest that is happening in my world.
Paid Speaking Gig in San Diego
One of my favorite conferences to go to every year is called FinCon. This year had over 1,000 people that are in the personal finance space and included speakers like Clark Howard, Noah Kagan, and Jean Chatsky. I had the privilege to also speak at this conference and got paid to do it! Granted, it wasn't much but speaking is something that I want to more of so it was a great experience (hire me to speak here).

I had the privilege to speak to them about making sure their finances are in order before starting a business so that they have a firm foundation from the get-go. They were a great audience that really engaged with my talk and I am all about supporting their mission and vision.

The villa is a mix of the original 200 year old finca and modern tastefully designed extension. Relax in the coolness of the comfy lounge, reading from the large choice of books in the library area, check your emails on the pc that is provided or take your laptop to a quiet area and work via wireless Wi-Fi.
There are four en-suite double bedrooms with CD/DVD player in the main house, plus a poolside casita with en-suite double bedroom. There are 5 bedrooms in total and the villa is let with a maximum occupancy of 10.
The villa is unique as it's secluded yet within walking distance to 4 different styles of restaurants; it is also a short drive to a mini supermarket & an English speaking doctor, the old town & the beach area. The villa is wheelchair friendly as it was modernised in 2002 to enable my father to visit who has a spinal cord injury.
Family man with wife & two children that are my everything.
Alexander or Paul Sen purchased this villa in 1987
After an epic search for an old Finca type property that was secluded yet not isolated, within a few miles of the old town, beach & port area. It also had to be within walking distance of good restaurants we accidentally came upon this little gem finca which it was then.& a large gem Finca which it is now.
large enough to enjoy with family and friends & also large enough to hide away in a corner to read the book you have been waiting to read for ages. it's also very unique in it's position, walk 100mtrs to 4 restaurants, drive 10mins to Javea arenal, the port area & the old town.
Hi Z
I'm afraid it still won't let me submit the feedback form (prob doing it wrong), so here are my comments. I gave the property a 5 star rating, by the way\
\This property proved to be fantastic for our short break. Although tricky to find, it was well worth the effort as it had magnificent tranquility and peacefulness to offer. It was exactly as described by the attentive owner. Very clean, spacious and offered the occupants many activities which they could pursue at their leisure. We had many BBQs, and ate in the huge, well equipped kitchen after purchasing local produce from the many close supermarkets. We visited a couple of restaurants as recommended (by Darren - excellent and attentive property manager), but the villa has everything for eating onsite !
I would strongly recommend a stay at this villa. It was so good for all ages that I am thinking of going back soon !
We booked this property, as it is was advertised as disabled friendly, and it certainly is.
We went with our family, who ranged from 12 to 83, and it suited us perfectly.
The owners are extremely helpful, if you have any queries before you travel.
We really enjoyed our week there.
What an amazingly well equipped home. We loved staying at this villa. The view of the mountain from the pool is stunning and the gym is so well equipped, we've not found anywhere else comparable. An exceptional place to stay with your family, highly recommended!
The villa was perfect for our group of 8 people The kitchen was very well equipped with good quality crockery etc. Excellent size fridge in the kitchen and more importantly another in the utility for wine! The bedrooms were comfortable, spacious with plenty of storage space and far enough away from each other to ensure privacy, peace and quiet.
Particularly liked the location, outdoor space and the views. Would definitely return, hopefully next year, but for 2 weeks, 1 week is just not enough :-) Have already recommended the villa to other friends.
Booking process was very efficient and replies always prompt. The owners were very caring and helpful ensuring we had all the equipment we needed. Darren was very friendly and helpful and ready waiting for us as soon as we arrived. The villa was very clean and tidy.
Can't fault anything!!
A lovely, comfortable and clean villa with all amenities. Very user friendly for those with a disability such as my husband.
Hugely enjoyed our two weeks with family and relaxed completely in total privacy.
Indoor pool and gym fantastic and local restaurants are excellent value and all within walking distance.
What's not to like?
We have just enjoyed another wonderfully relaxing fortnight at Zanders villa. We decided to return after our first stay last year as the villa has everything you could ever need for all ages. Last year we were there with our 2 year old grandson and this year we were with my father and again we had all we needed. All the bedrooms have space and comfort and the pool area gives you a chance to sit quietly in the shade if that's what you want..... Equally you could sit in the sun all day if you wish!
It's great to be able to walk to a choice of 4 restaurants and we tried 3. Montgo was again our favourite!
Thank ŷou Darren for looking after us all so well again and thank you to Zander for always being prompt in all communication.
A stunning villa! set in a very peaceful location with amazing views of the mountain. Very private and extremely well equipped. We arrived with our three children to spend 10 days in this paradise and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Two pools, a Gym equipped better than my members gym at home and a range master cooker (for the one day when we did cook a Sunday roast!) says it all for more than home comforts. Those familiar with Javea will appreciate the Montgo area. The villa is walking distance to some of the best restaurants in Javea - El Gaucho, Montgo, Chalet Suizo. Upon arriving Darren was extremely helpful and also arranged for a housekeeper to help for a couple of hours each day (we paid extra directly for this). A truly peaceful, well presented and well equipped villa – Many Thanks Zander not only was the booking and logistics very clear and concise but you have a wonderful property and I'm sure I'll be in-touch soon to visit again.
Many thanks
Nestling amongst one of the many olive and almond groves which scatter the outskirts of Javea, and with the impressive Montgo mountain as a spectacular backdrop, the luxury villa offers the ideal tranquil location in which to spend your holiday. The Marriott La Sella 18 hole Golf course and spa are only five minutes drive from the villa.
Don't fancy cooking every day? Then choose to dine out in one of the four restaurants which are within 5 minutes walk from the villa or ask them to prepare a traditional paella which you can enjoy by your pool watching the sun go down.
The Arenal (sandy beach area) and port area are 10 minutes drive away. For the younger party members, enjoy late nights at the many bars and restaurants of the Arenal and for the rest of the family why not stroll along the calm port area or have traditional tapas in the historic old town. Visit the weekly market on Thursday.
Apart from golf, the area offers many scenic walks, watersports and other outdoor activities.
Other Activities: Within a 15 minute drive of the property
Golf: The Marriott Denia La Sella Golf and Spa Resort, 18 hole course is 5 minutes drive from the villa.
Javea also has a 9 hole course at the Javea Golf Club.

Release of Likeness
Each year, about 1 in every 500 African-American infants are born with sickle cell—an inherited red blood cell disorder that also affects other populations, including people from the Middle East, Greece, Italy, Latin America, and India. Regular blood transfusions are a major component of treatment for the agonizing pain that often results when a life-threatening episode occurs.
For Rae Blaylark, advocate for sickle cell disease and Memorial Blood Centers, the battle against this painful and sometimes debilitating disease is personal. "From the day my son, Treyvon, was diagnosed as a newborn, both my work and my advocacy have been driven by my passion," she says with pride. "As many of us know, every two seconds someone needs blood. To me this isn't just a number. It hits right to my heart because my son, Trey, is someone who continues to be sustained by the generosity of volunteer blood donors."
Step up to donate blood at one of the following community blood drives, and ask if you may be eligible to join our Sickle Cell Donor Program to further help those battling sickle cell disease in our community.
Schedule a blood donation:
Friday, 9/6/13 - North Memorial Medical Center
Wednesday, 9/11/13 - IDS Crystal Court
Tuesday, 9/17/13 - Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota (Minneapolis)
Thursday, 9/26/13 - Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church / Church of St. Patrick

Nasser misleading
Nasser misleading
I recently had the opportunity to meet and talk with Joseph Nasser, who is running for Brackenridge mayor. He is using misleading information in his campaign.
Mr. Nasser questions the need for a fifth full-time officer and quotes a figure for police overtime. Had he done his research, he would've found that ATI and its contractor reimbursed the borough for police coverage. The taxpayers didn't pay for this.
Nasser wants to hire two part-time officers and furlough a full-time officer. Our officers have a union contract that states we can't use part-time officers if we lay off a full-time officer.
His ideas look good on paper, but are unlikely to generate the savings he claims.
Don't be fooled by a campaign based on "saving money." His plan of action is misleading and could put Brackenridge in a predicament that will end up costing the residents time, money and peace of mind.

North Korea directs missiles towards Australia
Peter Hartcher
March 24, 2012
NORTH KOREA'S forthcoming missile launch will be aimed towards South-East Asia and Australia for the first time, the US has warned.
The warning was delivered in person yesterday to the Foreign Affairs Minister, Bob Carr, by a senior official in the Obama Administration, Kurt Campbell, during a visit to Sydney.
North Korea, which claimed to have successfully tested a nuclear weapon in 2009, has for years worked to improve its long-range ballistic missile capability. Previous missile tests have been launched east, over Japan. But US intelligence suggests the launch announced for mid-April will be aimed south for the first time.
"If the missile test proceeds as North Korea has indicated, our judgment is that it will impact in an area roughly between Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines," Dr Campbell, the assistant secretary of state for East Asia and the Pacific, said yesterday.
"We have never seen this trajectory before. We have weighed into each of these countries and asked them to make clear that such a test is provocative and this plan should be discontinued."

Salem Woman Faces Drug Charges
In another drug arrest, a Salem woman was taken into custody and is facing drug charges. According to the Sheriff's Department spokesman Jimmy Watt, deputies responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle on Beverly Road in Salem late Sunday evening. Deputies encountered individuals who claimed to be removing a water heater from a house on the property. Deputies searched the vehicle at the scene and discovered a ball canning jar with a crystal substance. The jar was tested and found positive for methamphetamine. The woman admitted it was hers and while searching her, she told officers she had a taser. The woman, 26 year old Chasity Hope Bates of Whitewater Falls Road in Salem arrested and transported to the Oconee County Detention Center on charges of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

Got questions? Below are answers to questions I'm frequently asked by members of our ProPublica Reporting Network who are participating in our first initiative: Adopt a Stimulus Project. Don't find what you need? Email me at Amanda AT propublica.org.
Question: I want to be part of the Reporting Network. What can I do? How can I be of help?
Right now our focus is on the stimulus. Our first initiative is Adopt a Stimulus Project, which asks people to monitor a local road or bridge construction project funded by the stimulus. We're asking you to do two things: first, to help us find out specific information about your project and second, to pass on any developments you think should be monitored. What exactly are we talking about? Well, for starters you would identify the project's start date and call your state Department of Transportation (DOT) to find out exactly what the project entails. Later you'll note the names of companies working on the project and, if possible, inquire about the subcontractors hired by those companies.
Introducing a Blog for the ProPublica Reporting Network
I'm happy to announce that we now have a blog for the more than 1000 members of our ProPublica Reporting Network, an initiative we launched just a little more than a month ago.
The blog is intended as workspace for the Reporting Network, which organizes readers and guides them to "commit acts of journalism," as it's put by Marc Cooper, my former colleague from our days running the citizen journalism site OffTheBus. First up? The Reporting Network is setting its sights on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as the stimulus. It's a whopping $787 billion bill, one of the largest spending bills in U.S. history. Our first undertaking is the Adopt a Stimulus Project. The premise is simple—by building a network of monitors we can track progress made across the country. All you need to do is commit to watchdogging a local bridge or road construction effort.

Using Quantitative Data Analysis Techniques for Bankruptcy Risk Estimation for Corporations
Diversification of methods and techniques for quantification and management of risk has led to the development of many mathematical models, a large part of which focused on measuring bankruptcy risk for businesses. In financial analysis there are many indicators which can be used to assess the risk of bankruptcy of enterprises but to make an assessment it is needed to reduce the number of indicators and this can be achieved through principal component, cluster and discriminant analyses techniques. In this context, the article aims to build a scoring function used to identify bankrupt companies, using a sample of companies listed on Bucharest Stock Exchange.

Kolumba Museum
Atelier Peter Zumthor
Cologne, Germany
By Jakob Harry Hybel
Built on the ruins of the Gothic Church of St. Columba in the old center of Cologne, not far from the city's spectacular cathedral, Swiss architect Peter Zumthor's Kolumba Museum stands as an equally uplifting and melancholic testament to the glorious and the bleak chapters of the city's past.
Peter Zumthor belongs to a rare breed of architects. Universally revered for his attention to detail, he religiously believes - like the old bauhaus masters that schooled him - in the architect as a craftsman. As with Zumthor himself, the location of most of his works, are notoriously recluse. The Kolumba Museum is the exception.
Contextual Complexity
Throughout the history of Cologne, since the earliest Roman settlements, churches have stood on the site where the Kolumba Museum stands today. In medieval times, when the Saint Kolumba parish was Cologne's largest and most dominant the splendid Kolumba Church was built to properly demonstrate the power of the parish. It stood until 1943, where the site was tragically demolished - along with the rest of the city - by the allied air strike. Since then, the ruins were largely left untouched, with the exception of a small octogonal chapel built in 1949 by local architect Gottfried Böhm in rememberance of the devastating bombing.
It might appear to be hopeless to reconcile
these many layers of history, but it seems Zumthor chose to to see
it as a challenge and he has intelligently managed to add to the
architectural continuum, while keeping and embracing the
pre-existing fragments.
A Mysterious, Timeless Space
The building does not reveal a lot from the outside. Apart from a series of holes puncturing the facades halfway up and some large, square windows, it appears to be a closed box of slender and neatly aligned light grey bricks. But entering from the foyer into the main room of the museum's lower level, everything falls into place.
The walls are windowless apart from the perforations lining the top, casting filtered light into the double height room. A zigzagging pathway guides you through the archaeological excavations between slim concrete columns pinning up the ceiling. As you stand amidst the room with all layers of history exposed, protected by the outer walls that gently wraps everything together, there is a serene calmness and odd timelessness.
Following the pathway will lead you to a small
ceilingless atrium where Richard Serra's sculpture The
Drowned and the Saved (Die Verschwundenen und
Gerettete) is placed on top of a crypt containing mortal remains
found during the excavations. It is a fitting end to the narrative
of the site and its past, almost like a punctuation mark.
A Museum Like No Other
Back at the foyer, a narrow staircase takes you upstairs to the art exhibit, where the collection of the Archdiocese, who commissioned the museum, is at show. Here, the exhibition rooms are subdued in color and scale with white concrete walls and polished floors. The only abruption comes in the form of the large window sections that beautifully frames selected views of the city.
Here it becomes very clear - if there was at a point any doubt - that Kolumba is no ordinary museum. Icons and religious statues are standing shoulder to shoulder with contemporary art installations - and as if this is not confusing in itself, the visitors are left completely to their own devices, as there is no accompanying text to be found.
This must have posed a considerable challenge to the museum's curators, but they have skillfully managed to draw thematic lines throughout the exhibit - and in doing so, they offer new perspectives on the way we are accustomed to looking at art, it challenges the sometimes narrow scope of our frame of reference.
Zumthor, an outspoken opposer of the so-called Bilbao effect, the notion that a museum should be a marketing instrument to brand either the city or the architect (or both), chose to work on this project because of its apparent refusal to adhere to the trends of today's museum world. As he said at the museum opening:
[Here] you feel that the project was started from the inside, from the art and from the place.
it does. You feel the desire shared between client and architect to
create something unique, something more than the museum itself. A
place that speaks to all the senses. A place as evocative as it is
intellectually and physically stimulating.

Quake in Michoacan causes buildings to sway in Mexico City
The Associated Press
Published Sunday, April 21, 2013 9:46PM EDT
Last Updated Sunday, April 21, 2013 10:09PM EDT
MEXICO CITY -- A 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck in the Mexican state of Michoacan on Sunday night, causing buildings to sway more than 300 kilometres away in Mexico City.
Some people evacuated buildings in the capital, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. State officials in Michoacan also said they had no reports of casualties or damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake's epicenter was about 38 kilometres northeast of the Pacific port of Lazaro Cardenas. That is about 327 kilometres west-southwest of Mexico City.
The USGS said its preliminary reading of the quake gave it a magnitude of 5.9. Mexico's National Seismological Service put the magnitude at 5.8.
The tremor occurred 73 kilometres below the Earth's surface, the USGS said. The energy of a deep earthquake dissipates more than that of a shallow quake and generally causes less damage.

Rayman fans, there is some good news and some bad news. The good news is for 360 and PS3 owners: Rayman Legends has been announced for both systems. The bad news is for Wii U owners: the Wii U version has been delayed. With the decision to go multiplatform, Ubisoft has decided to have all titles launch at the same time, which is currently sometime in September. Ubisoft Montpellier, the studio behind the Wii U version, is also developing the 360 and PS3 versions.
Rayman Legends retains the fantasy appeal of its predecessor while adding a multitude of clever and entertaining gaming modes, new characters, new environments and a new soundtrack. The award-winning team of artists, designers and composers from Origins has also returned with an advanced UbiArt engine to include multi-dimension gameplay elements, an improved lighting system and updated game rendering that elevate Rayman's graphics to the next level.

The government will book nearly $3 billion in savings from cuts in the price of drugs over the next four years.
The greater than expected result of price disclosure is the biggest single reduction in expected cash payments over the forecast period of the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook.
The government will also not proceed with several so-called priority health initiatives announced by former prime minister Kevin Rudd before the election totalling $265.5 million over four years, including a promised $100 million for Westmead Hospital for the first stage of a redevelopment.
Opposition health spokeswoman
As a result of the savings announced on Tuesday, the overall health budget – at $74.6 billion – is expected to be 1 per cent lower by 2016-17 than predicted in the May budget.
On the expenditure side, the government will have to pay $873 million more than expected on private health insurance rebates over four years because of higher demand. The increase may mean a pre-election promise from the Coalition to repeal means testing of the private health insurance rebate, which Health Minister
The government has also committed an extra $66.3 million for public hospitals to appease the Liberal-led states of Victoria and Queensland, which saw reductions in planned funding under the previous Labor government.
Mr Dutton said Ms King's comments were false and misleading and an attempt to mislead patients and their families.

WINTER PARK — West Pasco Little League made it farther this summer than any team in North Suncoast Little League history. That run came to an end Monday in the state final.
Rockledge, which lost in pool play to West Pasco earlier in the week, downed the local team 5-4 to advance to the Southeast Region tournament, one step from a trip to the World Series. After surrendering two early homers, West Pasco found itself down 3-0.
In Dixie World Series play, all three North Suncoast representatives to make the trip to Sumter, S.C., in softball were eliminated by Monday. While the West Pasco Darlings dropped their first two games in the double-elimination tournament, the West Pasco Debs and Spring Hill Angels were showing signs of brilliance going into Monday.
The Debs (1-2) split a pair of tough games Sunday before a do-or-die contest Monday with South Carolina. But a grand slam put South Carolina ahead for good 7-4.
Spring Hill (2-2) fought back against South Carolina on Sunday to win 5-3. However, the path to a possible title ended Monday with a 14-2 loss to Alabama.

I had capsulopexy surgery in 2008 and my PS sent me back to work in a week knowing I told him numerous times I continously lift 50-100+ . A week after I got back and lifting I felt this rip right off my rib it literally took my breath away and the pain was horrible. My question is if I would've had the proper nhealing time would I have needed anothe rsurgery in 2009 and was my ps in the wrong? 2009 surgery was my fith. Also would the ripping off my rib have ann affect on my back from the lifting and ripping?

At Work 1 Wk Aftr Capsulopexy&Felt Ripping by Ribs. Answr:
It is really hard to try and get an implant to go uphill against gravity. We suture the capsule down to the rib and it can still relax. I have my patients avoid any bouncing for 6 weeks and an underwire bra 24/7. Your job my not allow such a time off and my guess is that you are eventually going to need a support tissue like Strattice to hold your implant in place. I would probably stop doing the same thing over if it doesn't work...

FEDERAL Opposition Leader Bill Shorten will hit the hustings with Griffith by-election candidate Terri Butler today as Labor fights to hold on to the seat vacated by Kevin Rudd last year.
Mr Shorten said he believed Ms Butler was a quality candidate who would "fight hard for her Queensland community"
"Terri will be invaluable in helping us hold the government to account for their broken promises," he said.
Mr Shorten's visit to the electorate comes just five days after the former Prime Minister quietly slipped in to his former seat to show his support for Ms Butler.
Mr Rudd had held Griffith with a commanding margin but was nearly beaten by LNP candidate Bill Glasson at the September Federal Election.
Mr Glasson is contesting the February 8 by-election for the LNP.
Mr Shorten is expected to campaign hard alongside Ms Butler on issues including the scrapping of the school kids bonus and the mooted upfront $5 Medicare co-payment for bulk-billing patients.
Just spent a couple of great hours with @terrimbutler our candidate for Griffith. Fantastic response to Terri. KRudd pic.twitter.com/4YDpzOyfeQ
— Kevin Rudd (@MrKRudd) January 11, 2014
It comes as Premier Campbell Newman said he needed more information before he could give his support to the co-payment.
"We want to know more. At the moment we cannot support ... until we know more," Mr Newman said.
"A particular concern that we have is that it could have unintended consequences of forcing people then into the emergency departments of our hospitals.
"Not only could it be a cost shift to the patients ... but it could also be a cost shift to the taxpayers of Queensland."
Mr Newman said he was not ruling out his support for the move in the future but he could not support it until he knew more detail about the proposal and possible offsets.
"Everyone understands the issue but whether they've got the right solution remains to be seen," he said.

Sleep talking While under Twilight?
I am soon to undergo surgery and understand I will be under twilight anesthesia for about 30 minutes. First, is this the same as MAC? Also, Do patients ever "talk in their sleep" while under this and/or say/do things that could be embarassing to them after coming out of this state of sedation? The amnesia that occurs from this is a bit disconcerting .
Thanks for your questions about sedation and its effects. There are several terms used to describe the anesthetic "state" in which the patient is sedated but not under general anesthesia. Among the most commonly used terms are the ones you've mentioned.
"MAC" or Monitored Anesthesia Care is "a specific anesthesia service in which an anesthesiologist has been requested to participate in the care of a patient undergoing a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure." A rather vague definition. In fact, MAC is often used to describe a state of "moderate" or "deep" sedation (more on that later). "Twilight" anesthesia has no official definition that I am aware of but is often used to describe the same type of sedative or anesthetic state that "falls short" of general anesthesia.
The official terms and definitions, developed by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and adopted by other national organizations, involves a "continuum" of sedation. The continuum starts with "minimal" sedation, and moves through to moderate and deep sedation, and, finally, general anesthesia. Along the continuum, with increasing doses of sedative or anesthetic drugs, a patient becomes less responsive, but also gradually loses the ability to keep the airway open, breathes less well, and experiences more depression of cardiovascular function.
Moderate sedation is also known as "conscious sedation" - a bit of a misnomer really. There is a common misconception that sedation acts like a "truth serum" and that patients are compelled whilst in this twilight zone to divulge secret and embarrassing personal details. If only it were that exciting! In more than 15 years of anesthetic practice I have yet to take care of a patient who has revealed to me any juicy secrets!
It is true however that sedated patients sometimes become a bit disinhibited, much as an inebriated person under the influence of alcohol might behave. This could be an embarrassing experience, however the amnesia effect means that you are unlikely to remember what you said. Whether this is a good or bad thing depends I suppose on your perspective. The goal of the anesthetic state is to allow the surgical procedure to be accomplished quickly, safely and effectively. A patient who is behaving in a disinhibited, drunken state will very quickly be given more anesthesia (or, sometimes, less) in order to create better conditions for the surgical procedure to take place.
Unfortunately, the treatment of medical and surgical conditions sometimes involves the inevitable loss of one's physical dignity for a period of time. Hopefully the highest ethical standards surround the care we deliver. Let's recall that doctors and other healthcare providers are meant to observe the highest levels of respect for a patient's privacy. We all become patients at one time or another in our lives, and hopefully we learn to accept the occasional embarrassment or loss of physical dignity with humor, in return for the benefit of excellent and compassionate care.
On a final note, I always encourage our readers to engage their anesthesiologist (and surgeon) in a discussion of risks, benefits and alternatives of anesthesia care. It is possible that the procedure you are about to undergo can be accomplished with minimal or even no sedation, using local or regional anesthesia techniques. This approach will help you to avoid the problems that you have raised in your question.

The first place New York Yankees sit a top the AL East and now begin a stretch against some of their heated rivals.
First stop Baltimore, where tonight CC Sabathia will get the start going against a familiar name in Freddy Garcia. Sabathia was slated to start on Sunday, but the game was rained out, pushing him back to tonight's game.
Baltimore sits in a tie for third place with Tampa Bay having identical 23-20 records and recently have dropped a season high five straight games.
The Bombers are moving in the other direction winning nine of their last 12. Pitching has been the key holding this team together, regardless of injuries the solid pitching from starters and the bullpen have carried this club.
Sabathia will be working on five days rest which has never really mattered through out his career. Garcia who pitched New York over the past two seasons is coming off his worst outing of the year. This past Wednesday against the San Diego Padres he gave up four runs on seven hits in just 3 2/3 innings. Garcia chalked it up to poor command and a fastball that never got above 87 mph.
Tuesday's starters will be RHP Phil Hughes vs RHP Miguel Gonzalez and the rubber match on Wednesday will feature RHP Hiroki Kuroda vs RHP Jason Hammel.
After an off day on Thursday, the Yanks will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Rays for three-game weekend set. Tampa is 8-2 over their last 10 games and is led by LHP Matt Moore who is 8-0 so far this season. Ace lefty David Price was placed on the DL with a strained left triceps and this can be significant if the injury causes him to miss a long period of time. The pitching rich Rays will be tested through this stretch with out him.
RHP David Phelps will start the first game of this series against RHP Roberto Hernandez in the Friday night opener. The Yankees have yet to announce Saturday or Sunday starters. Tampa will send Moore to the hill on Saturday with no starter yet tabbed for Sunday's finale.
The Yankees return to New York on Monday to take on the Mets for four consecutive nights. The first two at Citi Field and following two nights at the Stadium in the Bronx.

Frustrated Penn Hills parents to meet with DeLuca over busing concerns
A group of parents whose children attend Oakland Catholic and Central Catholic high schools will meet with state Rep. Tony DeLuca on Friday to discuss concerns over transportation in the Penn Hills School District.
"The buses aren't showing," said parent Kristen McKeag, whose daughter attends Oakland Catholic. "When they do arrive, they're either coming half an hour early, or coming way late."
McKeag said her daughter, 14, was on the bus headed home recently, and when the driver made a wrong turn, "they just decided to drop her off at the other end of the neighborhood. She's 14 and a freshman, but I make sure someone is there to pick her up all the time because she's the only Oakland Catholic student in the neighborhood."
Several complaints leveled at Cincinnati-based First Student have come from parents whose students are bused to schools outside the district. School district and First Student officials could not be reached for comment on Thursday afternoon.
DeLuca, a Penn Hills Democrat, will meet the parents at his office on Saltsburg Road. Parents say they pressed to meet with DeLuca after failing to get adequate responses from First Student and the school district.
"I called First Student this morning, and they hung up on me," McKeag said. "I try to call the school district, and I can never get through to anyone."
Parent Greg Hatfield, whose son attends St. John the Baptist School in Plum, said he has had similar issues.
"The lady who drives my son's bus, she's very nice, she's punctual, but when she takes the day off, it's like there's no backup plan," Hatfield said. "We could tell when she was off; there was a major change in the level of service."
Parents' concerns may turn out to be short-lived: earlier this week, the school board voted to advertise to solicit bids for a new transportation contractor.
School officials have fielded regular complaints about First Student bus service since the company was hired in 2011, ranging from buses running 45 minutes behind schedule to missed pickups.

Enterprise job scheduling is a mature and mission-critical IT capability that supports some of the most important business processes throughout a modern enterprise. Areas like accounting, ordering, inventory, and procurement are all likely to rely on job scheduling technology. Most common job scheduling architectures involve deploying agent software on every system in the enterprise. However, depending on the parameters of the situation, these agents may be more expensive to install and maintain.
BMC Software is addressing these potential issues with a revolutionary solution – agentless job scheduling with BMC CONTROL-M. This solution provides a way to schedule, submit, and monitor jobs on almost any platform without installing a local agent using in¬dustry standard communication protocols. This makes deployment faster, more cost-effective, and secure; ensures a very broad range of compatible systems; and reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Despite losing coach and transfers, Greensburg Central Catholic reloads
All of a sudden, Greensburg Central Catholic football is under new leadership.
Will the Centurions ever be the same now that longtime coach Muzzy Colosimo is gone?
Assistants Dan Mahoney and Matt Federico were elevated to co-coaches Aug. 6 following a swift move to replace Colosimo just before the start of training camp.
"We won't change much at all," said Mahoney, who had been an assistant at GCC since Colosimo became head coach in 1995.
"I've been with Muzzy for a long time and we'll continue to do the things necessary to be successful, the things we've hung our hat on."
Aspects such as a strong line and stout defense.
Colosimo, 61, who coached the Centurions for 17 years, compiled a 143-46 record following a 10-2 mark in 2011. He was suspended twice by the school during a 10-month period, the details of which were not made public.
Finally, the school moved to make a change, but Colosimo remained on as head of buildings and grounds and joined the coaching staff at nearby Seton Hill University.
GCC's splendid campaign a year ago quietly ended with a 35-0 loss to Aliquippa in the WPIAL Class AA semifinals, just two years after the Centurions played for a PIAA championship in 2009, losing to Lancaster Catholic, 21-14.
The Centurions return a talented roster, led by senior running back/safety Zach Guiser, an Akron recruit who Mahoney considers a team leader who will lead an experienced defensive backfield.
Senior Mark Rodriguez and juniors Nate Stone, Seth Warburton and J.T. Astalos are the returning linebackers. Colosimo said Stone "has the eyes of just about every college in the country."
Chase Keller, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound junior, is expected to replace the departed Bobby Noble at quarterback.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Reviews
I will NEVER use again!!I have pretty oily skin. I used this product for 2 days. Using it morning and night. By the second day all around my mouth was extremely dry and red. It hurt to the touch even. My skin started peeling and hurt. By the fourth day, and keep in mind I have stopped using the product. I woke up with many white head pimples pretty much nose down. I was awful. They just kept popping up. I have never had ...read moreanything happen like this to me before. It was so embarrassing.

I actually googled the product thinking something was wrong, that's how bad it was for me. — 1 year, 4 months agoMerritt12 | 1 reviews
TravelI bought two of these right before a big trip in travel size as my travel face wash. This cleanser got rid of the sweat and grime in my pores from the long hot days, and the two little travel bottles lasted me until a few days after I got back home. A great buy, however it is not quite strong enough on my tough zits, but it is good for clearing up grime and blackheads, in my opinion. It did not help much with my big cystic acne though, so I use this in the winter when I get less cystic acne. — 2 years, 2 months agoharleyquinn13 | 107 reviews
Works, But DryingFirst off, yes, this will dry out your skin if you use it twice daily, every day. I found this was more drying the first 2 weeks, then my skin adjusted to it. BUT I deal with the drying effects, because this is the only cleanser that clears my skin, and keeps it clear, all on its own! I follow it with Neutrogena's Oil-Free Moisture for combo skin and my skin is balanced. In the summer this isn't o...read moreverly drying, but in cooler months is when I notice it. This also has helped with my shiny t-zone, I don't have to blot as often when I am using this cleanser. I love the way this smells, so fresh and clean!

HorribleI have oily skin and have had acne for over 10 years now. After accutaine it had cleared up a lot but a few years on and Im breaking out again so tried this product. Completely dried out my face to the point where it was painful to smile, eat etc. I also got tiny little whiteheads all over my face, and my neck had a pretty severe rash, which is now drying up and turning into more pimples. It may work well for some people but for me it was horrible. — 2 years, 11 months agoashdeee | 1 reviews
Good, but you can do betterI usually shy away from Neutrogena products because they are usually very pricey when you could buy a similar thing for less than half the cost but I thought I'd give it a try.

Good for people with mild acneThis is a great cleanser. It's milder than most acne face washes and it's very affordable. That said it's not for people with serious acne issues, if you have a few break outs here and there, this is great because it clears up your skin faster. It works wonders on acne and blackheads. I have used it for years and find that it clears up my face better than other products. It's also not very drying and doesn't make your face feel stripped. — 3 years, 8 months agoSevenM | 88 reviews
Better as a cleanserI used this product back when I had bad acne and it never did improve my acne, but it did keep my skin clean. It did not irritate my sensitive skin so that was good. I would use this as a regular face wash instead as a treatment for acne. However, this product can be drying due to the salycilic acid it has in it, so pairing it up with a good moisturizer right after washing would be a good idea. — 3 years, 10 months agoMinnieMouse95 | 29 reviews
