By JR ROSS
Associated Press Writer
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - West Virginia put all of its energy into shutting down Notre Dame center Ruth Riley.
But that didn't leave the Mountaineers much with the rest of the Irish.
Alicia Ratay scored 12 points and Danielle Green added 10 as No. 8 Notre Dame beat West Virginia 75-54 Wednesday night.
"We didn't move on the pass. We were a step behind all day," West Virginia coach Alexis Basil said. "We spent too much time on Riley and Ratay."
The Irish (10-2, 1-0 Big East) tried to pound the ball inside to the 6-foot-5 Riley with mixed success. Employing mostly a zone defense, West Virginia collapsed two and three players on Riley every time she got her hands on the ball and managed to hold her to nine points, well below her 15.5 average, and an uncharacteristic 4-of-12 shooting.
With Riley struggling, the Irish went to their guards, Ratay, Green and Niele Ivey.
When not driving the lane - contributing to Notre Dame's 42 points in the paint - they helped harass West Virginia into 22 turnovers, which were turned into 27 points.
They also forced the Mountaineers (5-7, 0-2) to throw up some ugly outside shots. West Virginia was just 26.5 percent from the field, including 2-of-17 from 3-point range, and trailed by as many as 32 points in the second half.
"They fast-breaked us and they killed us in the paint," Basil said. "When you shoot 25 percent from the floor, you're not going to win a lot of games, overmatched or undermatched."
Val Zona led West Virginia with 12 points and Mandy Ronay had 10.
Still, despite dominating West Virginia in almost every category, the Irish
weren't particularly sharp. They shot 8-of-26 to open the game and needed a
20-0 run over the final five minutes of the first half to blow the game open
with a 41-18 halftime lead.
"I was really disappointed with our focus tonight," said Irish head coach Muffett McGraw, who is 7-0 against West Virginia since Notre Dame joined the Big East. "I think we looked like we were bored. We really just didn't feel like playing tonight."
The Irish, who committed 20 turnovers, only got 20 points from their reserves - 10 from Green - even though only one starter played more than 25 minutes.
"We've got to have the killer instinct, and right now we don't have that," Green said. "I'm not putting West Virginia down or anything, but we never should've allowed a team like this to be able to compete with us.
"It goes back to our second unit. Our first unit is getting the job done, but the second unit is not with it right now."

The Shun Classic Pro 10.5" Yanagiba is crafted from pure, high-carbon VG10 stainless steel into a traditional Japanese knife design. The word yanagiba translates into "willow blade," the perfect name for this long, thin blade that excels at slicing as it's pulled through foods. Often used for preparing sliced raw fish known as sashimi, this blade excels at slicing and carving all types of meats, as it performs clean cuts and enables foods to retain their flavorful juices within. At 10.5" long, this blade is Shun's longest yanagiba, and is ready to manage your most sizable roasts, large poultry, and big fish.
Skillfully created using the intensive Honyaki method of knife-making, the Shun Classic Pro line is comprised of classic Japanese style blades. This complicated procedure produces unsurpassed sharpness, a scalpel-like edge with a 16˚ angle. The combination of VG10 steel and the Honyaki techniques results in exceptionally sharp blades that hold their edge markedly longer than most knives. Shun Classic Pro blades present a beautiful, acid-etched graffiti design that differs with each blade style and incorporates the Shun logo. A full tang delivers noteworthy balance while the blades' backs are slightly hollow-ground for quick and precise gliding through foods.
Crafted from resin-treated hardwood, Shun's PakkaWood handle fuses the durability of polymer plastic with the natural beauty of wood. The D-shape of the ebony-black handle feels secure and natural nestled against your palm. Sanded and buffed to a glossy surface, the handle offers excellent moisture resistance and durability. Beautiful and extraordinary, the Shun Classic Pro 10.5" Yanagiba will retain its impressive edge even longer if hand-washed.
For more than one hundred years, the KAI corporation has produced high-quality cutlery in Seki City, Japan. The Shun Classic Pro 10.5" Yanagiba carries a limited lifetime warranty as well as complimentary lifetime sharpening service provided by Shun.

Experts in Experiences
Winners of FARE 2013 Leaders in Retail Foodservice awards demonstrate how it's done
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. -- Despite the diversity of settings, customers and needs, retail operators can all recognize the hallmarks of an excellent foodservice program. It defies expectations, transcends the typical and improves the quality of the entire industry with each meal served. To honor the A-list, CSP presented its 2013 Leaders in Retail Foodservice awards to four operators at Wednesday's general session of the Foodservice at Retail Exchange (FARE) conference. Each has broken the mold of what hospital, college, ballpark and convenience store food can be.
The honorees:
- Dan Henroid, director of nutrition and food services for the University of California's San Francisco Medical Center, is the master of creation and renovation. He oversees patient meal services at two hospitals, five retail food operations and a catering service, as well as inpatient and outpatient nutrition services. As the driving force behind the hospital's $8 million renovation of its retail foodservice operations, Henroid introduced a sleek, modern setting for UCSF Medical Center's food, with technology behind the scenes to streamline replenishment and help customers eat healthy.
- Camp Howard, director of campus dining for Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., encourages students to practice "thoughtful eating" at the school's two large dining centers. This is embodied by Vanderbilt's meal plan, which supplies students with a set number of meals per week--one entree and three sides per meal--with no seconds, as well as large-scale sit-down eating events meant to build a sense of community.
- Bob Pascal, as chief marketing officer at Centerplate, is responsible for "executing extraordinary experiences" at 300 sports, entertainment and convention venues in North America and the United Kingdom, including hosting events such as the Super Bowl, World Series and U.S. Presidential Inaugural Balls. Centerplate delivers by capturing the essence of a city or region through its food, and giving back to its communities.
- Michael Sherlock, vice president of fresh food and beverage for Wawa Inc., directs the Wawa experience through its "fast-casual-to-go" offer of hoagies, breakfast items, soups, salads and made-to-order hot and cold beverages.
While they serve different customers under different circumstances, Henroid and Sherlock have common goals for their foodservice offer: Both want their establishments to be viewed as a restaurant first. For the UCSF Medical Center director, his Moffit Cafe and Moffit Cafe Express may not be top priority when lives are at stake. "I'm competing for capital dollars with an MRI machine," he told attendees.
But the foodservice operations can have a big impact on the well-being of his customers. Consider not only the features--a wood stone pizza oven and a salad bar that brings in three-quarters of a million in sales each year--but also UCSF Medical Center's dedication to health. The operator's Smart Choice program tallies up the nutritional data of items on each receipt. It also partnered with the smartphone app MyFitnessPal, which helps users track the nutritional content of their food intake, to include 200 foods sold in the hospital cafés in the app.
Wawa's recent move into the Florida market gave it license to reinvent itself, both from a store and a foodservice perspective. The Florida site opens with outdoor seating and large glass windows, all the better to showcase its foodservice program, which is placed up front near the entry. An open kitchen further underscores the first impressions. And unlike other c-stores in Florida, Wawa does not sell hot dogs, choosing made-to-order sandwiches as the vehicle to communicate freshness.
"The most important thing we took to Florida is our culture and people," said Sherlock. "The customer engagement and connection is our biggest point of differentiation."
Pascal's challenge at Centerplate is to provide a sense of place in large venues filled with masses of people. "One size fits all concept is over," he said. "Who is that audience? We've done a ton of guest research on how to define success from the hospitality perspective." His team relies on extensive consumer research and collaborates with local, up-and-coming chefs to personalize food to place.
Of course, Centerplate also has to balance trend with tradition in its foodservice offer. Consider that 80% of foodservice sales in the sports venues it serves come from traditional favorites--hot dogs, pizza, pretzels and the like. The vendor introduces variety with items such as sushi, but that's not where it makes the biggest impact. "Our clients and sales are most impacted by the fan favorites. Here, we have the greatest opportunity to color their experience." To accomplish this, Centerplate executes a "lift and stretch" strategy: lift the level of quality for traditional items with introducing related items to stretch from that core.
Howard at Vanderbilt has to satisfy the needs not only of the average college student but also a large contingent of international students who have different expectations. While the school has a successful meal program--36% of off-campus students voluntarily purchase a meal plan—it also recognizes that both on- and off-campus students like to eat out at restaurants. To make the best of this competitive situation, the university's meal service allows students to use a portion of their meal plan toward food purchased at area restaurants.
The Vanderbilt meal services team also must confront customer tastes that shift by the daypart. "Their expectations are higher during the day," said Howard, noting that fresh and healthy food sells best in the morning and afternoon day-parts. "Once the sun is down, all bets are off."
The 2013 Leaders in Retail Foodservice awards at the Foodservice at Retail Exchange (FARE) are sponsored by Tyson.

Silver Alert issued for 47-year-old Raleigh woman
Posted January 31, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — Raleigh police were searching early Friday for a 47-year-old woman who is believed to be cognitively impaired.
The North Carolina Center for Missing Persons issued a Silver Alert for Paula Jean Smith at about 3 a.m. after she went missing from a home in the 1500 block of Crest Road.
Smith is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs about 140 pounds. She has medium-length brown hair and brown eyes, police said.
It wasn't clear where Smith may be headed, but when she disappeared she was wearing a long Army green coat, a dress, brown hat and shiny leather shoes.
Anyone with information about Smith's whereabouts should call the Raleigh Police Department at 919-996-1371.

ISLAMABAD, Nov 2: Electricity theft from the distribution system soared over eight per cent in the past few years, according to an official document. This is the highest rate of power theft in the region, which translates into an annual loss of about Rs100 billion.
The document reveals that even these figures are not reliable because of non-availability of meters at entry and exit points of distribution companies.
According to an expert, it is difficult to segregate real excess distribution, technical losses and theft.
In the absence of meters, another way to ascertain the theft is to carry out a technical audit of all distribution networks, but the audit has not been carried out because of opposition by the 'vested interest', he says.
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) allows 2.5pc transmission losses and up to 10pc distribution losses. But these 12.5pc losses turned out to be 23pc in 2013. Transmission and distribution losses remained 16.95pc in Bangladesh and 14.6pc in Sri Lanka in 2009, and 6.7pc in China and 3.8pc in Malaysia in 2011.
While determining tariffs for the National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) and distribution companies, Nepra incorporates these losses as a pass-through to end-users.
The NTDC has invited tenders for installing meters at the points to the National Power Control Centre and all distribution companies under a secured metering system project, but evaluation of bids has been delayed.
Another project sponsored by the USAID for installation of 6,000 meters was also delayed. It was scheduled to be commissioned in August this year.

Car stolen in deadly home invasion recovered
The car stolen in a deadly home invasion last week has been recovered.
An alert resident spotted the 2009 black Hyundai Sonata taken during the March 15th homicide of Thomas Tefft in the 500 block of West 42nd St. There was no one with or in the vehicle. The car was towed to a secure site for forensic processing.
Tefft, 67, was shot and killed by an intruder last Friday morning. Police say the suspect cut out part of the screen of a back patio door and the door was not locked. It happened at around 6:45 am in a neighborhood near 79th and Harcourt Road. The gunman took off in Tefft's car, which was missing until today.
The suspect is still at large.
Police have no reason to believe Tefft was specifically targeted in the attack.

Masked pickaxe-wielding robbers who threatened a family during a terrifying home raid may have targeted the wrong address, police have revealed.
Three balaclava-clad raiders – carrying what were believed to be a pickaxe and a knife – struck at a house in Cliffe Terrace, Denholme, on Monday evening.
They demanded cash and property before searching the house and taking three mobile phones and a set of car keys. The items were all recovered shortly afterwards from a nearby garden.
But Detective Inspector Ryan Bragg, of Airedale and North Bradford CID, believes the burglars may have made a mistake.
He said: "We are looking at the possibility the suspects were after a particular house or property and got the wrong one – it is an unusual incident for this area, and the occupants are a decent, working family."
Police are appealing for information about the incident, which happened at about 8.30pm. They also want to hear from anyone who may have seen a suspicious vehicle in the area at the time.
Det Insp Bragg said: "I would appeal to anyone who may have any information, or who saw anybody in the area acting suspiciously, to contact Airedale and North Bradford CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."
One of the robbers is described as Asian, aged 19 to 24 and about 5ft 11in tall, wearing dark clothing and white gloves.
The second man is also of Asian appearance and about the same age. He was a few inches shorter and of chubby build, wearing a grey hooded top.
The third man is white and was wearing dark clothing. All were wearing balaclavas.

I am 5'0 and around 83-90lbs and I have A cup breasts and want to have breast implants. What would it costs for B cup or C cup Saline Implants?
Breat Implants Costs to Go From A Cup to C Cup Saline?
Doctor Answers 5
Breast Implant costs
To ensure that you are receiving quality work with personalized care at the most cost effective prices, consult with board certified plastic surgeons that own their own nationally accredited facilities. The quality must be maintained at the highest level to maintain accreditation. The surgeons also have incentive to hire and train quality staff (to ensure that surgery is efficient and enjoyable), to ensure comfortable and private facilities (to encourage referral), and to eliminate waste (to ensure that these facilities can compete effectively).

Breast implant cost
The cost of breast augmentation is for the procedure of breast augmentation and is typically somewhere in the vicinity of $6,000.. Most surgeon's office charge the same price for breast augmenation no matter the size change. If a lift is necessary then there are additional charges. I hope this helps.
Breast implants and cost
The cost for breast augmentation is the same in my office as I am sure it is in most offices, the same no matter what size implant you go with. In general, the cost of the implant itself will be different for saline filled vs silicone filled.

Breast implant size and surgery costs
the size of the implant doesnt change the cost. gel implants are about 1000.00 more than saline
augmentation surgery runs about 3000 to 8000 in most centers.
Breast Augmentation Costs?
Thank you for the question.
I think you will find that breast augmentation surgery costs will not depend on breast size achieved.
Costs of surgery will vary from region to region and from surgeon to surgeon; please don't make this the primary factor in choosing your plastic surgeon. Experience, safety record, and quality of work will matter most. It would be much better to save up have the procedure done correctly; revisionary surgery can be more costly (in many ways).
Make sure you do your due diligence in the process of plastic surgeon selection. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
For general costs of surgical procedures our office please visit our website.
I hope this helps.

So let me get this right ...
A full 20% of the top ten so-called "lost" amphibians aren't actually lost?
Things that make you go "hmmmm ..."
Determined Malaysian scientists have pulled off a bit of a blinder in the search for lost amphibians, by getting the first snaps of the elusive Borneo rainbow toad. Ansonia latidisca was last seen in 1924 by European explorers, and was until now recorded only in sketch form. Responding to an Conservation International call to …
A full 20% of the top ten so-called "lost" amphibians aren't actually lost?
Things that make you go "hmmmm ..."
If you read up on evolutionary history, basically everything dies off quite regularly (as in 40-50% of species just disappear) and what doesn't die off evolves into different species to fill the gaps (it's believed that a lot of the "this species is critical to this environment's survival" assertions are a load of crap). The world copes and moves on without that ultra-rare toad which probably hasn't made any contribution to the local environment since it had a population of more than 100,000.
Think about it - if it was endangered or rare, and nobody really noticed apart from the scientists looking for that exact species - how large exactly was the part it played in the local ecology?
The biggest "problem" with species dying off is that they may have stuff we could use, e.g. if certain species of animals die off or kill off some associated plantlife (because it's not longer fertilising it), etc. then we may not find things that plant/animal life can do - e.g. produce human-painkillers, help us locate the DNA segment for property X, let us find missing links between species etc.
Species are created, evolve and die every single day, globally. Unless you can prove that one has a dramatic effect on the local environment or something to really show science, there's little reason to go to special efforts to keep it (artificially, in captivity, in man-made environments, etc.). Do we moan the millions of subspecies of cow that haven't been chosen for breeding because they don't produce a lot of milk or make manky-tasting beef? Not really. But apparently a frog that nobody's seen in decades is "important". Personally, I think you'd have been better off just leaving it alone rather than acclimatising it to human contact which is likely to end up killing it (either because it gets too friendly and runs across a road, or because it catches something from us, or because it starts to feed from human waste and thus becomes a dependent pest).
Every single time humans interfere with species distribution and movement (e.g. introducing cane toads to Australia) we make things worse even if we're supposed to have thought everything through. Now most of the pandas in the world are in zoos - an environment that they are notoriously inept at breeding in, for instance.
Leave the fecking things alone and stop going looking for them. By the time you realise there's only a handful left, they aren't important to the local ecology any more and just become an administrative and financial burden for zero practical gain except for some PETA nuts to go "Aw, we saved him!" until the animals die in captivity.
You are clueless. That is the worst attempt at providing a snapshot of "biological science" I've seen on many many stupid message boards, including this one. Hopeless.
...that very fragility that makes amphibians the "mine canary" of ecosystems.
We have no way of knowing what traits,chemicals, abilities. etc. are coded in the DNA of any living thing, nor how important these codes will be to us in the future.
From a personal standpoint, I very much enjoyed a photograph of the most amazing camouflage that i have seen; this animal WANTS to be lost.
As I recall, a few years ago everyone was worried about the inexplicable loos of amphibian, and were blaming pollution, climate change and habitat loss. Then they discovered the fungus. By which time I'm sure eager researchers have managed to spread it into many areas it would never have got to.
Lets hope the people that have been looking for this toad didn't take the amphibian killing fungus with them on their boots. It's probably the fact that it's been 'lost' that's been keeping it alive in the first place.
Sometimes less is more.
"...the millions of subspecies of cow that haven't been chosen for breeding because they don't produce a lot of milk or make manky-tasting beef? Not really."
Yes we do. All in good(?) time. You just wait and see.
Ditto for other old domestic varieties (pigs, cereals, fruit...)
The world copes and moves on without that ultra-rare "Lee Dowling" which probably hasn't made any contribution to the local environment. Dowlings are created, evolve and die every single day, globally. Unless you can prove that one has a dramatic effect on the local environment or something to really show science, there's little reason to go to special efforts to keep one (artificially, in captivity, in man-made environments, etc.). Leave the fecking things alone and stop going looking for them. By the time you realise there's only a handful left, they aren't important to the local ecology any more and just become an administrative and financial burden for zero practical gain.
Let them loose in Australia. Within 20 years they will have become a plague.
(Icon = alien species)
Groovy colors...
Perhaps all these "previously thought extinct" species foresaw well in advance the oncoming cataclysm of industrial age man and just decided to hide for a few hundred years until it all passes by...
No mention of whether they licked it or not...
See title
Hypnotoad? what the f... ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD
Holy mother of all that's psychedelic!
Did they lick that toad before taking that pic?
bet it tastes like rainbow chicken
I believe some people lick toads to get a buzz. That thing looks like it would give you a three day trip!
Cor, now I can stop licking toads to see all the colours!
Considering all the toad licking comments, I'm beginning to see another reason why Amphibians are in danger.
Halitosis would be the danger?
What's the point? What have we gained by "discovering" this "lost" species? Presumably the toad knew where it was and that's what's important. Unless it is really tasty and nutritional leave the damn thing alone and concentrate on some of the real problems.
We now have a nice colour photo of the beast and know that it is still alive and hopping.
South Park episode about the creature? :-o
of Southern Sri Lanka.
*Very* dangerous. I heard that someone posted a picture of it on Facebook, and anyone who checks the status of that account passes out for three hours. True story.
That is a truly magnificent animal. I'm glad it's not extinct.
(and as an Arts graduate may I add that I'm truly appalled by the level of scientific ignorance displated by some of the commentards here?)
You know, the ones that in the right dose make mad people hallucinate they are sane?
Even if there are no humans it is likely Doomed.
Or well camouflaged in an environment where there aren't many biologists catalogueing things?
If your out there lookign for ants or hummingbirds its just another frog.. now if you are looking for a toad, you might find it.. now did you see the beetle it just ate? that was rare!
Its an even rarer beetle now.... there is one less of them!
What? What rag am I reading? At El Reg they'd have gone with "boffins snap" for that headline!
This toad could not possibly have evolved by natural selection.
What's this "hynotoad" thing you talking abo.... ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD
Old and boring meme is ol-ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD
Quite possibly the most awesome creature I've seen (excluding those that wear bikinis).
I'd have one as a pet, but we have laws against that sort of thing.
After a bad fall, the CCD must have been damaged and the colours all came out weird.
Maybe the scientist can send the camera back under warrantee and just pretend he has been treating it properly.

Who here remembers Gluvmax? We sure do! These super sturdy lights is what started it all! Before there was micromax, microskinz, orbitskinz, or arclites... these were the bread and butter lights for gloving. They will not be offered again after this. This is a CLEARANCE item! If you want to own a set of original Gluvmax lights here's your chance! The LED bulbs can be replaced easily as they are controlled by a CR1616 Gluvmax 1-Mode Chip.
If you're looking for a very sturdy complete 10-Light glove set but you don't want to spend a lot of money here is a way you can glove affordably! Each glove set will feature a complete gluvmax housing in black, gluvmax chips, CR1616 batteries, and mystery LED bulbs.
Similar to our Mystery Orbit, we will build this glove set for you using a plethora or Gluvmax microlights so you don't have to think about it. We have them in tracers, 3 color strobes, 3 color ribbons, 7 color strobes, and more! We will decide how to build it for you.
What you will get:
10 x Mystery Gluvmax Lights
1 x Pair of White Magic Stretch Gloves

The quickly rising star that is Devin Miles returns to the interwebs today with another dope track for our listening enjoyment called "The Cure". The track is a smooth, laid back number in which Mr. Miles weaves a tale of his days in the game.
The track is driven by a smooth melody of keys that gets backed up by some nice, laid back drums that makes a nice home for Devin to rhyme upon. He hits the track running and showcases his lyrical was rather nicely, check out the clip after the jump and speak your mind below.

Cabins in a nutshell
Renting a cabin in a holiday or tourist park is the next step up from camping or staying in a caravan. You get to use all the facilities that the park has to offer (pool, café, inflatable pillows and kids' playground, tennis, mini golf, gym, supervised kids' activities) but you also benefit from having a little home away from home. You don't have to load the car up to the point you're not sure where the children will fit, nor do you have to battle putting up your tent, deal with possibly noisy neighbours, possums and early-rising kookaburras, and you can chill out in your climate-controlled space whenever you need to.
Well-known parks such as those under the NRMA, BIG4 and Discovery umbrellas offer a variety of cabin accommodation in specific locations around each park. There are also countless independent parks all over the country, so you can choose a geographical location that suits you (be that 90 minutes or five hours from home). Just check the accreditation of the park, read specific reviews and have a list of things you want from your holiday to refer to so you can find something that meets your family's needs.
Once you've chosen your park, choose the location of your cabin. Close to the pool, near the beach or lake, close to the playground or play barn – or far away from these things, you can choose the setting that suits your family. Opt for cabins near the playground if you have children of an age where safety isn't too much of an issue and when they are old enough to understand that the park is closed (this will afford you the occasional coffee on the picnic table outside your cabin, watching your kids play). Similarly, if your child loves to swim and being in sight of the pool or walking past it several times a day is going to cause a problem, choose a cabin away from temptation. Either check the online map, if available, or ask for advice when you book.
I have a large family, can we still stay in a cabin?
Cabin options range from one-bedders that sleep two adults and two children, to three- or four-bedrooms that sleep eight to 10 people, so they're ideal for larger families or groups of families holidaying together.
In a one-bed cabin with a bathroom, functional kitchen and lounge with sofa bed, you can easily sleep a couple (sofa bed) and two children (bedroom). If you have more than two children, of any age, you should consider two bedrooms if your budget allows. Holiday parks do have limits on how many people a cabin can accommodate – and you'll be thankful for the space if the weather turns, someone wants a nap or tempers flare.
Basic cabins range in price from about $140-$165 per night off-peak (two adults and two children) to around $160-$240 in peak season, and depending on whether you stay on weeknights or weekends. School holidays in the high and premium season often incur a minimum four-night booking, for example, with prices starting at around $400 per night for five people and up to $700 per night for eight people (in the top-range cabin accommodation). Special internet rates can often save you up to $20 per night, plus many holiday parks offer a discount on your next stay if you book again within a certain time after your trip ends.
And baby makes three
If you have young children, cabins are ideal for a cheap and cheerful holiday because the privacy saves you the embarrassment of an unsettled baby or a toddler tantrum. Don't be afraid to ask what baby-care facilities they can offer you (such as a cot and highchair or even a bath seat or a stroller) and also if there are any cabins that have child-safety factored in for your crawler or toddler.
Pros and cons of a cabin holiday
- Although more costly than camping, it's a lot cheaper than a resort or hotel.
- You can enjoy the park's facilities without having to endure the occasional chaos and noise of the camping area.
- It's easy to take care of young children (warm milk, a quiet place to nap, a place to chill out and read or watch TV if they're overwhelmed).
- If the weather turns, you have somewhere warm (or cool) to wait it out.
- Mod cons mean you can do a basic grocery shop and continue to eat healthily (and not rely on takeaways or barbecues all the time).
- Your children get to roam free in a safe, large but enclosed environment (always make sure your children know the park's rules and follow usual stranger danger-type safety messages).
- With a large range of cabins available all over Australia, you have the chance to explore locations that may otherwise be out of your budget.
- Most parks have some sort of kids' clubs or activities.
- There is no one to mind your children for you, cook your meals and clean up after you.
- Your accommodation will be simple and comfortable, not luxurious.
- You'll have to go further afield for a massage or beauty treatment (some parks may offer this, but it's the exception rather than the rule).
- If you don't like holiday parks, a cabin still might not sell it to you.

Tools and Techniques for Outreach and Popular Engagement in eScience
October 9, 2012
Rafael Santos
Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais
Public participation in scientific research takes many forms: participation of volunteers in citizen science projects, monitoring of natural resources and phenomena, volunteering of computational resources for distributed data analysis tasks, and so forth.
In this presentation, we comment on some of the computational tools, techniques, and case studies of applications that enable active public participation in scientific research. Of particular interest are applications that showcase the benefits of letting the public use the professional resources (in other words, the same data and computational resources that the scientists have access to) and return something back to the research behind it, such as applications that go beyond simple publication of scientific data or applications that use novel methods for user engagement. Examples of applications for scientific outreach that use specialized computational tools or techniques, and/or educational approaches, are also discussed.

Touch-screen kiosks called "On the Go! Travel Stations" will soon be arriving at 16 subway stations.
The high-tech devices will provide service advisories, step-by-step transit and street directions and information about escalator and elevator outages.
They also will offer information on local landmarks, nearby restaurants and neighborhood maps.
The kiosks will be installed by the end of the year at stations still to be determined.
The MTA successfully tested the kiosks at five subway stations in 2011.

The group organising Penryn's World War One commemorations have received a funding boost from the National Lottery to help with its programme over the next four years.
Penryn World War One Remembered has received £3,000 to help with a series of initiatives to mark the hundredth anniversary of the war, which will run from 2014 to 2019.
The funding will allow a project to go ahead in which students from Penryn College will build a scale model of a Great War tank, and it will also support the screening in the Temperance Hall of World War I films.
It will also allow the committee to have 1,500 books made for the children of the town, documenting the group's work in researching the history of Penryn during the war, the local war graves, and a reconstruction in April of the time 1,000 troops left from the train station.
The group has already started displaying artefacts in Penryn Museum, which will be on view throughout the four commemorative years, which have been collected from a variety of sources.
Chas Wenmoth of the Penryn Branch of the Royal British Legion said: "All this is on loan from the museum or the families, and we need to make sure it's all recorded.
"We're adding all the servicemen to the Lives of the First World War site of the Imperial War Museum, we're adding all the names we can from Penryn."
To mark the 100 year anniversary of Britain's declaration of war on August 4, St Gluvias church in Penryn rang 100 strokes of the tenor bell followed by a peal of muffled bells, and held a vigil with prayers and candles.
Chas added that anybody with any material dating from the time of the war is invited to bring it to him to help trace their family history as part of his Who Do You Think You Were project. He can be contacted on email@example.com.

Help us test a new fun cycle ride in Reading!
(The date has now changed to the 16th February)
As part of a new CTC Community project, we are looking for volunteers to help us by riding their bikes at Prospect Park to test out our new ride.
It would be a great help to us if volunteers would come and ride a set route on their own bikes. The ride consists of an 8 km off-road leisure circuit in a lush green environment and is easily accessible from Reading town centre.
Free parking is available at the Prospect Park and you're welcome to bring friends and family.
The ride will be timed for each individual and is likely to take approximately 40 to 60 minutes and is suitable for all leisure, hybrid, commuter and mountain bikes.
We hope you will join us on the 16th February at 09:00 am to test out our new bike ride.
Prospect Park, Liebenrood Road, Reading RG30 2ND.

- Click to see the menu.
Crunchy's takes its beer seriously. Customers can pick from 27 taps at the pub, coming from Michigan breweries such as Bell's and New Holland, as well as craft breweries including Dogfish Head and Stone. The microbrew-loving staffers regularly host brewers' nights with reps on hand to sample and answer questions, and celebrate the release of seasonal beers such as Bell's Oberon. Brews come by the pint or in the famous 270-ounce "bucket of beer," ideal for serving a large party or putting out a dollhouse fire.
To accompany the tap selection, Crunchy's kitchen serves a menu of pub fare that includes stone-baked calzones, deep-dish pizzas, and half-pound char-grilled burgers. Nine burger-topping combinations, each including a beer-pairing suggestion, range from pineapple and teriyaki sauce to sautéed onions and pepperoncinis.
Crunchy's cultivates a casual and easygoing atmosphere both inside its taproom and on its front patio. Inside, beer signs and photos plaster the aged wood walls above emerald booths, separated from central tables by illuminated weathered wood arches. Arcade games and dartboards are situated in the front, next to painted white wood where patrons of the past have scrawled their names or TARDIS coordinates. A full events calendar includes karaoke every Thursday–Saturday.

text: Pro: hunting helpful to humans in a number of ways By Jessica Johnston, Bridgemont Community & Technical College November 8, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- According to a 2012 survey by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, hunting is continuing to grow in popularity in America, and that's a good thing because when you think about it, hunting is important for multiple reasons. Hunting supplies food, gives revenue to the state and local businesses, keeps animal populations under control and is a chance for bonding time for families.When it comes to food, some people may not be able to afford to buy groceries every week or even once a month, so hunting provides an alternative food supply. The animals' meat, depending on the size of the animal, would be able to feed the family for a while.Hunting also gives revenue to the state and to local businesses. Hunters buy their hunting licenses, which gives revenue to the state. Then, those hunters have to buy clothing and supplies, which give revenue to local businesses. Those businesses will then be able to buy more supplies to stock up for future generations. Hunting is a great way of keeping animal populations under control, too. Without it, there would be more animals than people in the world. Those animals would need something to eat, so they would begin eating gardens, which, in turn, would make those people who planted them go hungry. Also, simply traveling down the road would become a dangerous task with the animals darting into the road in search of food.Hunting is even a chance for family bonding. When most hunters go out, they usually take a family member with them, whether it is their child, sibling or another relative. The older hunter will teach the younger one everything that he or she knows, and then that young hunter will teach younger ones and so on. Hunting is also a fun, easy way of teaching gun safety.Even though you don't think about it, hunting is everywhere. When you go to the store to buy beef, ham, turkey, chicken or other types of meat, where do you think it comes from? That meat was once a living, breathing animal until it was killed and sent to the grocery store. However, this type of killing is different than regular hunting in the sense that these animals don't have a chance to run since they're locked up.Before you begin judging hunters and their sport, stop and think about what would happen if they actually stopped doing what they loved.

Lawmakers honor area wine industry pioneer
State lawmakers voted Thursday to memorialize Doug Phillips, an architect of Palisade's wine industry and pioneer in the state's workers' compensation system, citing his outstanding character and determination.
Rep. Laura Bradford, R-Collbran, praised Phillips for his numerous accomplishments, including the founding of the Colorado Grown program and the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board.
"Douglas Phillips was a man whose vision and dedication and hard work affected numerous lives in Colorado," she said.
Phillips, 64, who died last year at his home in Denver, founded Plum Creek Cellars in 1984 with winemaker Erik Bruner.
Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, praised Phillips as "a remarkable person" who decided in the 1980s that he wanted to start the first winery that made wine from Colorado-grown grapes.
"What Henry Ford was to the automobile, Doug Phillips was to the wine industry here in Colorado," Penry said.
Sen. Jennifer Veiga, D-Denver, praised Phillips for his work with four of Colorado governors to modernize the state's workers compensation laws.
Sen. Chris Romer, D-Denver, passed along the best regards of his father, Gov. Roy Romer, for Phillips' contributions to Colorado.
Colorado Secretary of State Bernie Buescher returned to the state Capitol to commemorate Phillips and praise legislators for the resolution in his honor. Buescher had planned to sponsor the resolution before his defeat at the polls in November.
Buescher said Phillips was hard worker who took pride in everything he did, from being a lawyer to making wine.
"If you visit that winery and let Sue take you around, you will see the love they have for what they do and what Doug did," Buescher said. "The best that any of us can have at the end of the day is the comment that this was a life well lived. I can't think of anyone to whom that
phrase pertains better than Doug Phillips."
The Senate and House unanimously endorsed Senate Joint Resolution 8.
Phillips' wife, Susan, along with his daughters, Megan and Jennifer, were present to see the Legislature honor him.

Can Washington and Lorenzo Romar Make Progress This Season?Posted by Tracy McDannald on October 15th, 2014
The year-to-year turnover in college basketball these days can make recent history appear ancient in a hurry. It was just five seasons ago when Lorenzo Romar guided Washington to the third Sweet Sixteen appearance of his tenure. Heck, just three seasons ago the 2011-12 campaign resulted in a regular season Pac-12 championship and Coach of the Year honors. It was Washington's fourth consecutive top-three finish and seventh overall under Romar. But that same season ended in a first-round Pac-12 Tournament exit, an NCAA Tournament snub and the early departures of star freshman Tony Wroten and sophomore Terrence Ross. The Huskies haven't been awful since then, but back-to-back .500 records in conference play is quite the fall in a relatively short period of time.
C.J. Wilcox made the Huskies a respectable foe, and Romar did not lack for effort in trying to surround his high-scoring guard with talent. But a relationship with Aaron Gordon's father was not enough to beat out Sean Miller and Arizona for the lottery pick's services last season. Freshman point guard Nigel Williams-Goss developed into the Huskies' second-leading scorer among last season's class, but the rest of the freshmen did very little to distinguish themselves. For the first time since 2007, there was no postseason of any sort for the Huskies.

Changes had to be made to The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds in order to ensure it could be played properly on the Nintendo 2DS, series producer Eiji Aonuma told GameSpot.
"It's not that you can't play it with 2D, it's just that it becomes clearer when you have the 3D effect on," Aonuma told GameSpot through a translator. "We found out about the 2DS during development, not before, and we also made changes so that we were sure that you could still play and solve the puzzles only with 2D. It's definitely still playable in 2D!"
The game is, however, designed to be played with the 3D effect turned on and may even get 3D sceptics on-board with the technology.
"A Link Between Worlds is being developed with 60 frames per second," he said, "and previous Zelda titles were about half that, about 30fps. The reason for this is because the 3D effect is much more stable with a higher frame rate, with the 60fps. If it's lower then it's sometimes hard for your eyes to focus on the appropriate image.
"We think we've created a game that even those who found it difficult previously to see the 3D effect would be able to see it better and enjoy it more with this title."
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds will be released November 22 and will also be offered in a collector's edition.

By Liz Verley, Staff Writer
Social Services Director Brad Vold and Social Services Supervisor Paul Bukovich, outlined for the Morrison County Commissioners the services and support available to disabled persons.
So far in 2014, the requests for some of the services have increased nearly 100 percent.
"Morrison County provides and arranges services and supports for persons with disabilities which help people meet their basic needs so they can live in dignity and achieve their highest potential," Bukovich said during the Tuesday meeting.
"There are many conditions that are considered disabling. They are broken into two categories: developmental disabilities and long-term care. The funding for these services is a combination of county and state and federal (waivers services) dollars," Bukovich said.
A developmental disability is define as a severe, chronic disability which: originated at birth or during childhood, is expected to continue indefinitely and substantially restricts the individual's functioning in several major life activities.
Bukovich explained developmental disabilities are also defined to include individuals with an IQ of 70 and under. Examples of developmental disabilities include autism, behavior disorders, brain injury, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, mental retardation and spina bifida.
Currently, 233 persons with developmental disabilities are served in Morrison County.
"This number has remained steady from 2012 thus far through 2014. However from 2011 through 2013, there has been an almost 50 percent increase in requests for Developmental Disability services," said Bukovich. "Thus far in 2014 we have seen almost a 100 percent increase in requests for Developmental Disability services, for only the first half of the year."
Long-term care covers all of the other disabling conditions from chronic medical issues, physically disabling conditions, acquired brain injury and some mental health conditions for both children and adults.
At present, 75 people are receiving long-term care services.
"We have seen a significant increase in the access and costs to long-term care services for children with mental health and behavioral health issues," Bukovich said.
Examples of the county's services to help people meet their basic needs and to remain in their community include: adult day care, behavioral support, chore service, customized living, family training and counseling, foster care, home delivered meals, respite, transportation, etc.
Funding for these services is available based on financial eligibility, and functional need. Functional need is determined by a risk assessment which defines the person's needs and, their risk for institutional level of care.
In 2013, Morrison County budgeted $307,550, in county dollars for developmental disability services. For 2014, $333,750, which is approximately a 25 percent increase, was budgeted.
"This is directly related to the increase in the number of requests for developmental disability services as well as increased costs for those services," Bukovich said. "Morrison County's waiver services budget for developmental disability services is $8.354 million in state and federal dollars. There is a total budget of $8.699 million to provide for persons eligible for developmental disability services."
Morrison County's total budget for long-term care services in 2014 is $4.227 million.

O'Hern aces the 12th
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Thursday, it was Alex Cejka's albatross. Creating the excitement in the second round was Nick O'Hern's hole-in-one.
The Aussie made the ace at the 12th hole at Pebble Beach. He used a 6-iron on the 202-yard hole, which was his third of the day.
O'Hern needs to build on that momentum, though. He shot 74 in the first round and is currently tied for 81st. But there's time -- the cut comes after the third round when everyone has played all three course. – Helen Ross

White County pulled off its biggest victory of the Bill Ballard era on Friday, downing No. 4 North Hall 21-7 to ensure that it is not just a two-team race for Region 7-AAA.
And that wasn't even the most exciting finish on the night, as week 8 of high school football also brought us another flourish from Chestatee.
This time the War Eagles used a last-gasp blocked punt return to force overtime and an eventual 20-17 defeat of Lanier on the road. The victory kept the War Eagles tied with No. 4 Monroe Area for the lead in Region 8-AAAA and showed that Chestatee has developed a knack for winning close contests.
Meanwhile, the race for Region 8-AAAAA does now look very much a two-team race, as Gainesville raced past Clarke Central 56-28 in Athens and Flowery Branch stonewalled Heritage 33-0 in Conyers.
The Red Elephants and Falcons are the only two teams undefeated in 8-AAAAA play, and while Flowery Branch must still navigate a home contest with the Gladiators next week, a win there would ensure a region championship match-up between the two intra-county rivals when they meet up on Nov. 8 in Gainesville.
The race for the Region 8-AA crown also became clear on Friday, as Washington-Wilkes powered past Rabun County 52-7 to give the fourth-ranked Tigers a big lead over the rest of the league. Jefferson also solidified its hold on second place in 8-AA, hammering Oglethorpe County 41-0. Meanwhile, Union County dominated Greene County 42-0 to set up a key showdown with rival Rabun County next week in Blairsville, the winner taking a big step toward the state playoffs.
Commerce also continued to make its case for a state playoff in Class A, ripping off four unanswered touchdowns in a 28-7 win over Athens Academy.
Speaking of the postseason, the race for 7-AAA's top four spots got a lot more intriguing on Friday thanks to White County's win over the Trojans. Buford is now alone in first place after a 42-10 defeat of Dawson County that saw the Wolves lead 14-3 at the half.
Thanks to its bounce back, 27-7 win over East Hall on Friday, West Hall is now tied with White County and North Hall with 3-1 records in 7-AAA -- though the Warriors own the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Trojans now. North Hall and West Hall will face off next Friday in The Brickyard. The Spartans impressed against the Vikings, using a dominating line of scrimmage to hold the ball for 32 minutes, 12 seconds -- compared with East Hall's 15:48.
The results certainly set up for a must-see week 9 -- one that will have to go some way to live up to week 8.

Chrome Mini Clothespin Nipple Clamp
Reviewed: 11 December 2014 by OUCH! Thank you ;), a Straight Married Female
I really enjoy nipple play and I like something with a bite, so when I spotted these Chrome Mini Clothespins I had to have them. To my joy, they were in Lovehoney's 3 for £10 deal. I love a bargain.
When my parcel arrived I found them taped to another product, so no naff packaging to worry about here.
The clamps are tiny small and heavy, the chrome bright and shiny on the outside parts. However, the inside parts are somewhat unfinished, so have an inspect for roughness or spiky bits before putting them near your nipples.
As with all new clamps, my first impulse was to get a boob out and try one. I should have known how it was going to feel when I had to use two hands to squeeze the first clamp fully open, but I just didn't think. Oh. My. God. How my nipple didn't jump off my boob and disown me I don't know.
These things don't have a 'bite'. They have a vicious, animalistic maul. I've never had a nipple toy this severe before and I was pretty much overjoyed, if a little shocked. My nipple had instantly turned angry red and, thankfully, it numbed pretty quickly. Even in an unaroused state, the blood rush when I took it off was delicious.
These clamps are tiny and my nipples are big but they don't stick out very far when erect, so getting the clamps on wasn't an issue for me. I won't say they're comfortable, because I'd be lying, but they do what they're supposed to and they do it well.
When used during BDSM sessions they're just about perfect. The pain they offer is extreme, in my opinion, especially when tugged and twisted. Even when just left to sit, the weight of them is enough to spike the pleasure/pain with every movement. All that just makes having them removed all the better. But be careful if pulling them off without slackening, as they really do grip tight.
I would suggest those new to clamps steer well clear of these little things, as not only are they intense, there's no way to adjust them either. Anyone who likes a good pinch and knows what to expect will love them. They're definitely a favourite in our collection and if they should ever die or get lost, they'll be replaced without a second thought.
- Pros
- They look innocent enough but they're vicious!
- Cons
- The inside finish lowered the quality a bit.
- Bottom line
- A perfect addition for any pain lover's toy box.

It's got a bite
Reviewed: 24 September 2013 by georgiascottson, a Bisexual Married Female
A great addition to any bondage play, this little peg has a real kick to it.
If you like being pushed to your limits then have a go with this little bad boy!
Love the fact it's chrome too, which makes it easier to clean if you need to as well as smoother going on and off.
Great fun trying it in other places too!
- Pros
- Like the chrome.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great fun for more experienced bondage lovers.

Fun but a little too much
Reviewed: 22 February 2015 by Kazackaye
I had gotten these as a gift from a close friend of mine. I was so excited to receive them, because I've been wanting to try out new things.
I was surprised at how heavy they were, but also quite pleased with them.
They are quite easy to open and move about, just be careful when putting them on.
Me, being my overly excited self, chose to just slap them on, not thinking they would be all that harsh. And oh man let me tell you, they have a strong bite.
Not for beginners in my opinion, you'd need to build up to something like this slowly.
But absolutely perfect for rough nipple play.
- Pros
- The weight, colour, size.
- Cons
- Nothing to not like about them!
- Bottom line
- Pretty okay!

My solo mid-day meals are simple affairs, mostly made from what is in our fridge. They are also often vegetarian because I don't want to feel weighed down in the afternoon. I also like to use one pan to minimize clean-up. And, the whole thing comes together in less than 10 minutes. Those are my general parameters.
Today I made this rice bowl and thought of sharing it on social media. But it was really tasty and there's a tofu technique that you may enjoy. So rather than keep things to a short 140 characters or a single long paragraph, I decided to write up the recipe for you to tinker and tweak.

World champion Patrick Chan overcame a slew of errors to win the Trophee Bompard for the third time Saturday, and 14-year-old Elizaveta Tuktamisheva captured the women's title with a clean, composed program that had the crowd on its feet.
Tuktamisheva, the world junior runner-up from Russia, nailed all her jumps with barely a wobble. She delivered another stellar performance after the one at Skate Canada in which she was the youngest winner in 30 years.
Tuktamisheva, who along with Chan sealed spots in next month's season-ending Grand Prix Final, was making only her second senior Grand Prix appearance.
"I didn't skate badly but there were still a few minor mistakes I could improve on," she said. "Next year I'll be able to go to the European and world championships, but not as a junior."
Chan started strongly by nailing a quad toe loop-triple toe loop combination. But the Canadian lost his balance during the circular step sequence and landed awkwardly on two jumps.
"The warmup felt really good, the program didn't," he said. "I felt shaky on the quads all week. Sometimes you make mistakes, but overall I'm very pleased."
In pairs, Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia defended their overnight lead to win the title. Ice dance was won by Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada. They beat defending champions Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat of France, with Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte of Italy third.
Chan dominated Friday's short program and had enough overall points (240.60) to comfortably beat Song Nan of China (224.10) and Michal Brezina of the Czech Republic (218.60).
Chan said he was not concentrating properly when he made a basic error during the step sequence.
"I'm not thinking enough about keeping my center strong," he said. "I get too carried away."
Song glided effortlessly across the ice to Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2," drawing loud applause from the crowd at the Bercy arena.
"It wasn't as good as my Cup of China, but I'm pleased I was able to do two quad toes," said Song, who was first in free skate when he finished third at the Cup of China two weeks ago. "It was tough but I enjoyed competing here. There are many things I need to improve to get to (Chan's) level."
Brezina also qualified for the Grand Prix Final.
"That was a goal of mine for three years and I finally made it ... but I still need to work on the quad," Brezina said.
Volosozhar and Trankov won the pairs with 194.13 points, while Russian rivals Vera Bazarova and Yuri Larionov moved up from third to take second (184.91).
"Our performance was not so perfect today," Trankov said, referring to problems properly executing twists. "We were a little bit late to the music and lost our positions. We have to work hard and think how to be more technical."
Canada's Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford dropped to third (176.62). They must wait for the sixth and final event in Moscow next week to see if they can make the Grand Prix Final, which will be close to where they live in Quebec.
"We did a great element, then we had some problems," Radford said. "We're capable of scoring a lot higher than that."

This report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)provides the first quantification of the macroeconomic impact of doubling the global share of renewables in the energy mix by 2030. The study builds on IRENA's previous work on the socio-economic benefits of renewable energy, as well as on REmap 2030, IRENA's roadmap for doubling the global share of renewables.
Using a macro-econometric approach, Renewable Energy Benefits: Measuring the Economics takes into account the linkages between the energy system and the world's economies within a single quantitative framework. The analysis compares a business-as-usual case to two cases of advanced renewable energy deployment. The study shows that the impact of a transition to 36% renewables would benefit economic growth (GDP), welfare and employment in both cases.
Doubling the share of renewables in the energy mix by 2030 would increase global GDP by up to 1.1 per cent, improve welfare by up to 3.7 per cent and support over 24 million jobs in the sector.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Goodell: No immediate plans for NFL expansion, except Thursdays
INDIANAPOLIS - Sorry, Los Angeles. The only NFL expansion happening anytime soon is to next season's schedule of Thursday night games. During his annual Super Bowl news conference, Commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday that adding to the league's 32 teams "has not been on our agenda" and that he doesn't "see that in the foreseeable future." He also said the NFL wants "to keep our teams where they are." That apparently includes struggling Florida franchises in Tampa and Jacksonville, both the subject of periodic relocation rumors because of poor attendance and television blackouts.The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have failed to sell out 17 of their last 19 games at Raymond James Stadium (including four preseason games), forcing the games to be blackout from television in the local market. Goodell said there were 16 games blacked out in the NFL in 2011. Five of those were in Tampa Bay. He said the blackout policy would continue, even as the Federal Communications Commission prepares to open public comment about the policy that has been in effect since 1973. "We want our stadiums full and we want to remain on free television. It has to be balanced with driving people to your stadiums with offering your games on free television" Goodell said. "I think the policy has served us very well over four-plus decades. I believe that it's a balanced approach and we'll continue to go through the FCC process if they desire." Every club will appear on prime-time TV in 2012, thanks in part to new Thursday games that now will be scheduled from Week 2 through Week 15. All but Week 12 will be on the NFL Network. The NFL also kicks off its season annually with a Thursday night game on network television. Those games will be in addition to the usual Sunday night and Monday night games, which tend to feature teams coming off good seasons. Among other topics Goodell addressed: The NFL is trying to learn more about preventing and treating concussions, and more international games, including in Mexico. Goodell said that the league has a strategy to make the game "more successful on a global basis." The Rams and Patriots will play in London next season as part of that approach. Asked about playing games in Latin America, Goodell said there's a great deal of interest there and he would like to get back to playing a regular season game in Mexico. He said it's "something we'd like to get done sooner than later." Goodell said there are current discussions about setting up another game in Mexico. The NFL Players Association has concerns about playing games in London and how the travel will affect players. The Buccaneers traveled to London last season to play the Chicago Bears, the second time in three years Tampa Bay played in Wembeley Stadium. The Bucs had a 4-2 record when they landed in England for the "home" game on Oct. 23 but lost to the Bears, 24-18, and went on to lose their final 10 games of the season.

Even though a Def Jam deal and appearance on XXL's Freshman list might have introduced Logic to most, hard work and a sense of self-realization have brought this MD MC to the latest peak in his budding career, the release of highly-anticipated Young Sinatra: Welcome To Forever mixtape.
On first listen, anyone with ears will clearly see this unassuming lyrical assassin is well-rounded in sound and aiming for the crown, rather than just pushing trendy vibes or spitting bars for the sake spitting them – like many current MCs. Via mountain-climbing tracks like "925" and the epic intro "Welcome To Forever," along with more inverted cuts such as "5AM" and "Just A Man," this budding rhymer shows versatility on the large scale and clearly knows how to craft album-quality material with mass appeal in mind.
Plus, the fact this Rat Pack rapper excels when paired with the likes of fellow high-risers Trinidad James, Kid Ink and Dizzy Wright only leaves us wondering how he'll fair alongside the A-listers he's gunning for. After the quality of this project, it seems only time will.
