Peterson Wins Supergirl Pro Junior, Clinches ASP North America Pro Junior Title
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 13 August, 2011 : - - Oceanside -- Lakey Peterson (Santa Barbara, CA), 16, has capped off a perfect season by winning the ASP 6-Star Supergirl Pro Junior in peaky two-to-four foot waves at Oceanside Pier today, marking her third consecutive ASP Pro Junior win and solidifying her second consecutive ASP North America Pro Junior Title.
Peterson took to her backhand in the Final and led the heat through its entirety. The Californian capitalized on a lefthander down the beach and belted a 15.54 (out of 20) heat total in the Final to win the 2011 Supergirl Pro Junior over Kauai finalists Malia Manuel (Wailua, HI), 18, Leila Hurst, 18, and Nage Melamed (Hanalei, HI), 17.
There were some fun waves throughout the day, Peterson said. I went down south and surfed the left and it was way better than anything else that was coming in. Petersons victory at the ASP 6-Star event marks a sweep over the 2011 ASP North America Pro Junior Series where she won the Rob Machado Seaside Pro Junior and the Nike US Open of Surfing prior to todays Supergirl Pro Junior victory to solidify her position atop the womens regional rankings.
Winning today is just icing on the cake, Peterson said. Im really stoked to have won all three events. Ive been really focused this year and had a totally different mindset. Im older and starting to do bigger contests. Ive been trying to stay really organized and just on top of my game and it seems to be working, so Im stoked.
The talented regular footers ASP North America Pro Junior series title also guarantees her slot to compete against the worlds finest under-21 surfers at the upcoming ASP World Junior Tour which begins in Bali.
The World Junior Tour is so much fun, Peterson said. We have three events this year which is great because I feel like it really shows who should be World Junior Champion and Im really excited for it. Bali, Brazil and Australia are all really fun spots and Im looking forward to it.
Malia Manuel started her Supergirl Pro Junior campaign off strong and was responsible for the events highest heat total of 16.94 (out of 20) in her Quarterfinals bout, but was unable to catch Peterson in the final and finished runner-up.
I started off the Quarters with a good heat and had some good rhythm, Manuel said. I had a little hiccup in the Semifinals, the tide was changing and conditions were changing as well and going into the final, there were consistent waves, but I probably just didnt the rhythm I would have liked to.
Manuels runner up finish at the crucial ASP 6-Star event will see her represent Hawaii at the upcoming ASP World Junior Tour and the talented Hawaiian is itching to kick off the prestigious ASP World Junior Tour at Keramas in October.
Oceanside loves to give me second places, this is my third, second-place finish in a row at this event, Manuel said. Congrats to Lakey, she definitely deserved this win and Im really happy because this is our only 6-Star event and coming in second got me valuable points. Im really excited for Worlds and I cant wait for Bali, I love Keramas and cant wait to go back.
Also putting in honorable performances were Leila Hurst and Nage Melamed, who finished 3rd and 4th respectively.

I've just started playing Williams Pinball Classics for Xbox 360 (Release date: 17/06/2011). In the Arcade mode, I found a locked table named "Jive Time" in the Back Room. Are there any other unlockable tables in the game?
As far as I know, I need 100 credits to unlock a table in the game. At the moment, I have 130 credits but I can't unlock that table. When I select the table, there is only one option (B Button = Back). What do I need to do to unlock the table(s) in this game?

Over the course of the next few months, I'm counting down 100 of my favorite Houston dishes. I chose some because they are such quintessential Houston creations, others for their cultural or historical significance, and others because they are just so damn tasty.

#57 The Barbecue Brisket and Egg Breakfast Taco at Plantation BBQ Trailer on 90A
This barbecue trailer is located in front of a welding shop on 90A on the way to Richmond. The Garcia family has been turning out stunning barbecue at this location for the last 16 years. Lolo Garcia ran the place for most of that time along with his wife Rose. But since he had a stroke, the Garcia kids have taken over. And they are doing a wonderful job. Lolo still keeps an eye on the big smoker inside the trailer, of course, but his son and daughter man the window and load the wood.
Granted, this is outside the city limits, but I'm willing to be flexible when there's a breakfast taco this good involved. Instead of bacon and eggs or sausage and eggs, this taco is made with barbecued brisket and eggs. The taquero chops up some crisp and smoky brisket and tosses it on the griddle with scrambled eggs and salt and pepper. Why have I never seen this combination before?

|Remaining calm in the face of drama
For a start, I read through my graduation documents at about 11pm the night before and realised I was supposed to uplift my gown by 11a.m. the next day. With our flight landing at 10.15, and Wellington having its share of capital city traffic congestion, I began a night-long fret fest about getting there in time.
I'm not saying universities are crazy pedantic about everything, but I have noticed that if the staff finish work at a certain time, say 11, they will out of there at 11.000001 a.m. As no gown = no graduation, I kept the phone close and called the gown place as soon as they were open. The woman that answered made all the wrong noises, such as well, if you can't get someone to pick it up, there's not much we can do, then informed me that they actually close at 10.45. The 11 a.m. time is by which they have vacated the university premises. Awesome. She gave me the cellphone number of the manager, Pauline, and I called her, completely prepared to go into I Am Student Hear Me Roar mode. However she couldn't have been more helpful, offering to take my gown to the graduation venue, directly opposite our hotel. I was temporarily calmed.
All the while I was yapping on the phone, The Programmer was jumping around, holding the front door open and swooshing his arm toward it dramatically. While dealing with my gown crisis, I'd used up precious minutes and we nearly missed our plane. Imagine us stuck in traffic, me on the phone to Air New Zealand, begging them let us board it, even though it was clear that the we were going to be at least 10 minutes past check in time. The helpdesk person wasn't very encouraging, telling us to go straight to gate 51 and basically try our luck. By the time we got to the airport both myself and The Programmer were 85% convinced we had missed the plane. The atmosphere in the car for the last 15 minutes was tense doom and gloom, interspersed with a little bit of snippy conversation.
Once there, I jumped out before the car stopped moving and sprinted to the gate in my heavy coat and boots, and of course, it was located at the far end of the airport. I had time to reflect that it's definitely time to get back to some sprint training, trying to peel off my jacket and scarf just to avoid having a heart attack, or melting. I got there, puffing to the point of incoherence, waved my ticket at the Air NZ woman and she got on her walkie talkie thing and told me to get on the plane. One problem. No Programmer.
He had parked the car and started out like I did, sprinting like an Olympian but with one difference. He had our bags and those suckers are heavy. After paging him four times, Air NZ chick was losing patience and I was deeply relieved to see a familiar shape strolling along in the distance. It turns out that once he knew the gate was the length of the airport away, he stopped trying to kill himself with cardio, having decided that there was no way in hell I could have got there in time to be allowed to board.
Good on Air NZ, they let us on, and I was sooo relieved (also hot, sticky and thirsty). It would have been a strange sort of graduation for Mamasana and my Grandparents if the graduand had still been in Christchurch... ;-/
From that point things went more or less smoothly. Well, I did spend about half an hour with my trencher on backward (how embarrassing!), but never mind that. Here are some pics from the day. There was also a family nosh up (and slosh up, haha) in the evening but nobody took pics! I'll be back tomorrow with my current health focus and some fun foodie finds.

|Next day walk around the botanic gardens

Annapurna Adventure: Manang + Tilicho Lake, 16 days trek/ 4 nights Kathmandu total 20 days
Level: Moderate to Strenuous (max. altitude 5,200 m)
Best Season: March-May and Sep-Dec
This is situated in the region of Annapurna range of the Central Nepal Himalaya lies Tilicho Tal (lake), at 4,919m .This adventure begins with a trekking Round Annapurna upto Hungde, in Manang district. We trek the main trail to head up toward Tilicho Tal. These high Himalayan reaches are the habitat of the Himalayan tahr (mountain goat) and the snow leopard, among other mammals. From our camp by the shores of the lake, we climb up to the Mesokanto La (pass, 16,730' / 5,100m) where we are rewarded with the first views of the Kali Gandaki valley. We descend to stay at the charming Thakali village of Marpha. here is the possibility either going down to pokhara or take a flight at jomsom for back to kathmandou via Pokhara.
Tentative Program
Day 01 Welcome by our representative from airport and transfer to the hotel.
Day 02 Free day in Kathmandu, night at hotel.
Day 03 Kathmandu to starting point of trek, Besisahar (823 m), by bus.
Day 04 Walk to Ngadi (914 m). Along the way are rice fields, lush forests, suspension bridges, a lovely, thin waterfall, and the sound of a natural spring at Bhulbhule.
Day 05 Today's walk to Jagat (1,341 m) involves good views, flagstone-paved paths, a cantilever bridge, and a wonderful trail carved out of the rocky valley wall.
Day 06 To reach Dharapani (1,943 m),walk along a trail stabilised with wire-enclosed stones, forest, a
stone stairway, fields of corn, barley, and potatoes and again, waterfalls and bridges over the roaring Marshyangdi river.
Day 07 On the way to Chame (2,713 m) you first see typical Tibetan architecture - closely spaced houses, flat roofs held down by firewood. The walk goes through pine, spruce, and maple forests, walnut and apple orchards, a river junction, and even a flat section to compensate for the steepness of other parts!
Day 08 Today's walk to Pisang, the first higher village on the trek (3,185 m) takes you past a Buddhist monastery (gomba), a kani (painted decorative stone arch over the trail), a chhorten (Buddhist memorial), buckwheat fields, apple orchards, and pine forests, wooden and suspension bridges, and a spectacular curved rock face. Also visible are the remains of a village set up by Khampa (Tibetan warrior) refugees in the 1960s.
Day 09 Walk to Manang (3,351 m). Along the way is a long mani wall made of stones inscribed with the Buddhist mantra om mane padme hum. There are also monasteries and prayer wheels, barley and buckwheat fields, wooden bridges, and the first view of the next few days' high altitude desert landscape.
Day 10 Under the gaze of the Gangapurna and Annapurna III peaks, leave Manang village going past the mani wall, cross the bridge and walk up to then enter the valley of the Khangsar Khola (river). Walk through blue pine forest, wheat fields, some scree slopes and cross the river to reach Khangsar (3,740 m). Enjoy this large, serene village with its traditional stone architecture.
Day 11 Today is a challenging walk up to the lake at the base of Tilicho Peak. Follow the river up to a meadow. You will then need to traverse some ridges to reach the crest of the moraine, from where you can look down to the lake on clear days. The descent to the stunning turquoise mirror that is Tilicho Tal (lake, 4,920 m) can be a little rough.
Day 12 To leave Manang via Tilicho Lake and enter the Kali Gandaki Valley on the other side, the usual trail is over Mesokanto La (pass, 5,200 m). You will need to walk around part of the lake along the glaciers and icefall and then traverse a ridge after which a long descent brings you to the pasture Namphu Kharka (ALTITUDE?)
Day 13 Complete the descent down to Jomosom (2,713 m) for some well-deserved rest. Enjoy this interesting, rather 'modern' heart of Thakali country.
Day 14 Walk out from the old town and along the desert-like valley floor through the ever-strengthening gusts of wind. Past the flat encampment of Eklai Bhatti ('Lonely Inn') climb up to the almost lush and very medieval Kagbeni (2,804 m), which lies at the confluence of two streams. Explore its winding packed mud passages, traditional passages, the stone paths that run through it, and the notable gomba that looks down on the whole village.
Day 15 Walk past the lovely apricot orchards, ruined fort, and mule stables at Jharkot, up along a stark hillside to reach Muktinath (3,802 m). Here in a wooded glade is the famed temple beloved to Buddhists, Hindus, and animists alike, where water emerges from stone, and fire emerges from this very water.
Day 16 Fit and acclimatised by now, it will be a breeze to walk back to Jomosom, where you can explore the old town by yourself and try some of the famed Marpha apple brandy.
Day 17 On the stunning 'mountain' flight back to Pokhara for an afternoon and night by the lake.
Day 18 On the bus back to Kathmandu. Option by flight .Night at hotel.
Day 19 Free day in Kathmandu for shopping.night at hotel .
Day 20. Airport transfer or back to home.

Here's something Israel could learn from its neighbors: how to confront an existential problem and take care of it before it festers and becomes a serious social illness.
While Israelis have been tormenting one another over the issue of some 50 thousand illegal migrant workers who have snuck into the country through the Sinai border with Egypt, the Saudi government has taken care of a similar problem in under a month.
According to several Arab sources, Saudi Arabia has deported 71,000 illegal foreigners since its crackdown on migrant workers began on November 4, according to latest figures from the kingdom's Passport Directorate.
Arab News reports that before the deportations began, that almost 300,000 Egyptians had returned home on their own, since the beginning of July. In Yemen, officials are expecting the total of Yemeni returnees from Saudi Arabia to reach 210,000. Some 130,000 returned during the initial crackdown last March (and the subsequent "grace" period), with a further 80,000 expected during the current crackdown.
Arab News reports that two groups are exempted from deportation: Palestinians and Burmese. The Saudis say they will not be kicked out, even if they are caught working without a permit, "due to internal strife in their countries."
However, according to Saudi Gazette, foreign street vendors in Jeddah, who went into hiding when the crackdown began November 4, have now come out of hiding and are "moving freely in the markets of the historical area selling fruit and vegetables at cheap prices."
The Gazette also reports unrest among legal foreign workers. In Makkah, foreign hospital cleaners went on strike for a second consecutive day, claiming that the company that employs them has reneged on an agreement to increase their wages from $107 to $187.
Brian Whitaker has written in AlBab.com: "It's a story too about racism in a kingdom that presents itself to the world as a model of Islamic rectitude, and it's a story that feeds into debates about immigration in other parts of the world. If you want to know what racists really mean when they say 'Send them home!' look no further than Saudi Arabia."
But Whitaker also expects that Saudi Arabia itself could change as a result of its clash with its poorer neighbors, near and far, adding: "It's a story that also affects other Arab Gulf states, since they have all become heavily dependent on foreign labor – basically relying on those they regard as inferior beings to do dirty, menial or dangerous tasks from constructing their buildings, driving their cars, cooking their meals, cleaning up their mess and preparing their dead for burial. Many of these people work in conditions that amount to modern-day slavery."

MMC Re-verified as Maine's Only Level I Trauma Center
May 10, 2017
Contact: Clay Holtzman
207‐662‐4239 / email@example.com
PORTLAND, Maine – The American College of Surgeons' Committee on Trauma has re-verified Maine Medical Center as the state's only Level I Trauma Center.
Level I is the highest designation for trauma centers, and achieving this re-verification means that MMC has voluntarily met criteria that set standards for providing excellent care to trauma patients. This designation means MMC provides not only the resources necessary for trauma care, but also the entire spectrum of care to address the needs of all injured patients, from the pre-hospital phase through rehabilitation.
"This independent re-verification is a testament to the professionalism of our providers, nurses and staff throughout the hospital, and to their continuous focus on patient-centered care," said Joel Botler, M.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at MMC.
Reviewers visited MMC in February and the medical center received formal notification of the reverification in late April. The verification will last through January 2020.

Two cards. Two different uses. The Citi® Double Cash Card and Chase Freedom are both no annual fee rewards cards, but depending on what you value most out of your rewards card, their worth varies.
If you're interested in maximizing your rewards potential or earning a significant sign-up bonus, the Chase Freedom is a good pick. If you'd rather swipe (or insert) your card without racking your brain to remember which rewards category you'd earn more cash back in each month, you're probably better off with the Citi Double Cash.
You'll never know the best option for you until you do your research. Luckily, we've done it for you.
|Citi Double Cash
|Chase Freedom
|Annual fee
|Sign-up bonus
|$150 cash back
|How to earn bonus
|Spend $500 within the first three months
|1% back on purchases and then another 1% when you pay for that purchase.
|5% back on up to $1,500 in combined purchases on rotating quarterly categories. Unlimited 1% cash back on all other purchases
|Introductory offer
|0% intro APR for the first 18 months on balance transfers
|0% intro APR for the first 15 months on purchases and balance transfers
|Balance transfer fee
|$5 or 3% of the transferred balance — whichever is greater
|$5 or 3% of the transferred balance — whichever is greater
|APR after intro period
|13.99% – 23.99% variable
|16.49% – 25.24% variable
Here are the details:
Citi Double Cash Card
The Citi Double Cash offers an unlimited 1% cash back on purchases, then another 1% when you pay off your purchase. In other words, you'll get 2% cash back for being a responsible cardholder. There's no limit on how much cash back you can earn — just make sure to pay off your balance in full each month.
There's a longer introductory APR on balance transfers for this card compared to the Chase Freedom (0% intro APR for 18 months, 13.99% – 23.99% variable after), and all balance transfers need to be completed within four months of account opening. Either way, you'll need to pay either a 3% fee on the amount being transferred or $5, whichever is greater.
Enjoy benefits like Citi® Private Pass®, which gets you access to VIP events like concerts, sporting events and more, along with a guaranteed pass on your first late fee (should you forget to pay).
You can redeem your cash back for statement credits or checks, but you won't be able to transfer your cash back to hotel or airline partners. So, if you're big on travel, it's best to consider other cards.
Read the full Citi Double Cash Card review here.
Chase Freedom
Are you ready to track rotating rewards categories? The Chase Freedom offers 5% cash back on rotating bonus categories (up to $1,500 in purchases each quarter when you activate) and an unlimited 1% back on everything else.
Similar to the Citi Double Cash, the Chase Freedom doesn't charge an annual fee. And when you spend $500 within your first three months of card ownership, you'll earn a $150 sign-up bonus.
In order to make the most of the Chase Freedom, you must be willing to put in the effort. Each quarter, the 5% cash back category changes — and you must activate each quarter in order to receive the 5%. For January through March of 2019, you must activate by March 14 in order to receive rewards. You can find category activation dates for the rest of 2019 here.
If you usually carry a balance, the APR charges will end up outweighing the benefits of the Chase Freedom. Additionally, if you're planning to shift debt from another card to the Chase Freedom, bear in mind there's a 3% intro fee ($5 minimum) when you transfer a balance during the first 60 days your account is open, and a 5% ($5 minimum) ongoing balance transfer fee. There is a 0% introductory APR for 15 months on purchases and balance transfers (16.49% – 25.24% variable thereafter).
This card offers more redemption options than the Citi Double Cash — you can redeem cash back for points at Amazon, gift cards or travel when you book through Chase Ultimate Rewards®. As for benefits, you'll enjoy purchase protection, zero liability protection, fraud alerts and more, making it easier to catch unauthorized purchases and protect yourself from the aftermath.
Read the full Chase Freedom credit card review here.
Which card is right for you?
So, the Citi Double Cash or the Chase Freedom? As always, it all comes down to what you intend to use the card for.
The 5% cash back category and 1% on everything else from Chase Freedom may seem like the better rewards structure at first glance. Yet due to the $1,500 cap on purchases each quarter in the 5% category, you may end up earning nearly the same amount using the Citi Double Cash.
The Chase Freedom is the only card of the two to offer a sign-up bonus, but it could be a nuisance to track which category you'll earn cash back in every quarter. Plus, In order to receive the 5% cash back each quarter, you have to remember to activate the rewards category. If you forget to activate, you'll earn only 1% cash back — or, in other words, if you consider yourself a forgetful person — the Chase Freedom may not be your pick.
The Citi Double Cash is definitely the more easy-to-use card of the two, but it will take a bit of patience. You'll get an unlimited 1% cash back on all purchases and then another 1% once you pay off the purchase. There's no sign-up bonus, but your rewards potential is practically the same as that of the Chase Freedom if you use it often enough.
Both cards offer an introductory APR on either purchases, balance transfers or both. The Citi Double Cash intro offer on balance transfers is longer than the Chase Freedom's, but either way, you'll need to pay $5 or a 3% fee on balance transfers. Keep in mind that these types of fees can eat into your APR savings if you aren't careful.
Use cases and rewards breakdown
The most you can earn with the Chase Freedom bonus categories each quarter is equivalent to $75, or $300 a year. As for the Citi Double Cash, there's no cap on how much you can earn.
For example, if you spend $300 a month each month on groceries using the Citi Double Cash and pay off the balance, with the current Citi ThankYou® Points valuation, you'll earn $72 for the year.
If the Chase Freedom was offering 5% cash back on groceries for a certain quarter, then 1% on groceries for the rest of the year, you'd end up earning $45 for the quarter and $27 for the rest of the year — equal to $72 overall. The cash back rewards for both cards end up being the same, but what may tip you over the edge is the $150 bonus you'd receive from the Chase Freedom for hitting $500 in purchases within the first three months.
Bottom line
When it comes down to it, both the Citi Double Cash and Chase Freedom are solid choices for cash back rewards cards. If you'd rather swipe and forget about it (while still earning a good amount of cash back), we recommend the Citi Double Cash. But if you're more interested in maxing out your cash back category and earning a sign-up bonus, we'd go with the Chase Freedom.

How to Marathon Train Without Eating a Ton of Carbs
Allie Flinn・October 18, 2018
From the throwback days of high school spaghetti dinners before game day, we've long been trained to carbo-load before a day of physical activity. And there's a valid reason for that: the body uses carbs more readily for fuel than other sources, like protein and healthy fats. But if you're following a low-carb diet or they just don't make you feel great, it can throw a wrench into training for something super intense, like a marathon. So what do you do?
"Athletes involved in endurance sports have seen benefits specifically around sustained performance for extended periods of time," Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN of Maya Feller Nutrition, says. However, she notes, carbo-loading is not a must.
"I had carb-loaded for six marathons when I didn't have a clue about nutrition," Ariane Hundt, a clinical nutritionist and trainer says. When she began training for an Ironman, she decided she didn't want to experience the same outcomes as she had when carbo-loading for marathon training: "weight gain, muscle loss, becoming flabbier, softer, and more bloated—and slightly depressed from too many carbs affecting my blood sugar." Fortunately, there's a way around it.
Find out how to train for a marathon without loading up on carbs.
What happens when you cut carbs while endurance training
"Years ago, many runners thought that if they increased their carbohydrate intake in the days leading up to a big race—think breads, pasta, and rice—they would have increased energy stores, glycogen, resulting in more endurance, and decreased bonking," Mirna Valerio, ultra-runner and Merrell ambassador, says. But she personally doesn't eat any differently the night before a race.
Hundt is an advocate for becoming less dependent on burning carbs for fuel. "When the body becomes good at burning fat, you will lose body fat and become much less dependent on glucose from sugar and carbs as energy," she says. "The result is that you can go for hours without food because your body uses its own stores as energy. That translates into more balanced energy, focus, being less hungry, having less cravings, and having more energy—all of which are usually affected during carb-fueled marathon training." A fat-adapted runner, she explains, means that one's body knows it can burn fat when carbs run low.
It's important to take the time to train your body to get energy this way. In other words, don't switch to a lower-carb diet and immediately go out for a two-hour run. "It's a good idea to start marathon training season weeks one through six with shorter runs of up to an hour and a lower-carb diet to teach the body to rely on body fat as fuel," Hundt says. "Fasted runs are a great way to teach the body to run on body fat."
After week six, your runs should start to be longer than an hour. Hundt recommends eating a small meal with around 20 to 30 grams of carbs an hour or two before your run, and then refueling afterward with protein, veggies, and 30 to 50 grams of carbs depending on your appetite.
"Starches, such as sweet potatoes can be added to refuel glycogen stores after runs longer than two hours," she says. "The only time that a higher carb meal won't backfire is right after an intense workout. Any other time, a high-carb meal will create an insulin spike and fat storage."
Here's a sample day of eating for a fat-adapted runner, from Hundt:
- 1-hour morning run, fasted
- Post-workout smoothie with frozen cauliflower, frozen butternut squash and 20 to 30 grams of protein powder or three-egg omelette with veggies and half a sweet potato
- Lunch: Big mixed green salad with grilled chicken, half an avocado, broccoli, tomatoes, and cabbage with olive oil and lemon juice as dressing
- Afternoon snack (if hungry): One of the following: veggie smoothie, Epic bar, Raw Rev Glo Bar, or three turkey slices with half an avocado
- Dinner: Roasted salmon with grilled asparagus
Are there any carb requirements at all for long runs?
It can feel kind of jarring to go against "traditional wisdom" when it comes to carbs, especially in relation to endurance training. "Everyone's bodies, training methods, and goals are different, so a person's carbohydrate needs will vary," Valerio says.
"An average carb requirement should be based on someone's goal body weight and duration of exercise," Hundt says. For instance, if your goal weight is 150 pounds, then she recommends eating 100 to 150 grams of carbs per day if your workout is less than 60 minutes. For workouts longer than 60 minutes, she says you can estimate that you burn around 35 to 45 grams of carbs per hour—that's where the aforementioned extra post-workout starchy carbs come in. (Now, why didn't we learn this math in high school instead of calculating train collisions?)
Also, fun fact: one gram of carbs makes us retain three grams of water, Hundt says. So if you find yourself feeling bloated the morning after having sweet potatoes for dinner, that's why.
Build in recovery days
Recovery is a crucial component of any training routine, but becomes especially important with high-intensity training. "It is important to build in enough recovery days to reduce metabolic stress, that in turn will keep your appetite in check," Hundt says.
She notes that she was able to maintain her energy levels throughout her six months of Ironman training without destroying her metabolism without carbo-loading. She also kept her stress hormone levels in check because she made sure to take rest days, get plenty of sleep, and utilize massages, stretching, and foam-rolling as part of her recovery.
"I see the benefits of this type of training in my clients who train for endurance events and end up being fitter, lighter, and stronger as a result," she says.

Professor Daniel Reinholz, works on the EQUIP app with two doctoral students, Amelia Stone-Johnstone and Antonio Martinez.
Created by SDSU and Michigan State University, the app also helps teachers be more intentional when eliciting student participation.
By Kellie Woodhouse, SDSU NewsCenter
How can mathematics become a more diverse and inclusive field?
One way is to ensure the subject is taught fairly to all students, something that is not happening in most American classrooms, according to a recent National Science Board (NSB) report.
NSB found factors such as socioeconomic status, gender and race have a large impact on student success in math, largely because of teachers' own biases. The 2018 report found, for example, that teachers falsely perceive differences in math ability—based on student demographics like gender—as early as elementary school. That false perception impacts how they manage their classrooms.
A team of researchers has created an open-source tool to promote the fair and inclusive teaching of math. The web application, called EQUIP (Equity Quantified in Participation), tracks student engagement in an effort to help teachers be more intentional when eliciting participation and responding to student ideas.
"Math can be very non-inclusive sometimes, and seeing the inequities has made improving the system a motivation for my work," said Daniel Reinholz, a San Diego State University mathematics education professor.
Reinholz created EQUIP with Niral Shah, a former graduate school classmate at the University of California, Berkeley, and now a professor at Michigan State University.
The tool tracks demographics and classroom participation on several levels, including some very granular ones. Teachers can customize EQUIP to track everything from the type of questions students answer, to how long a teacher waits for students to respond to questions, to the tone the teacher uses with students.
The app also analyzes the data and highlights patterns in student participation and teacher behavior, highlighting which students teachers are engaging and how that engagement plays out in the classroom. It can also track student participation over time, revealing how student performance in class may correlate with participation.
"Issues of equity and implicit bias can be really subtle, and teaching math is really complex," Reinholz said. "Teachers leading complicated tasks with advanced math have a lot to keep straight. Keeping track of who is participating and how is a really high cognitive load, even for the most experienced teachers."
To use EQUIP, teachers first record their sessions. Then, a user watches the recordings and inputs participation data into the app. The app creates detailed analytics teachers can use to inform their practice, and academics can use to advance their research.
"The app allows teachers to be more intentional in how they lead their classrooms," Reinholz said.
EQUIP is used in schools across Michigan as part of multiple National Science Foundation-funded projects to study equity patterns in classrooms; and by organizations like Carnegie Math Pathways in California to evaluate the efficacy of professional development programs.
Haley McNamara, research coordinator for Carnegie Math Pathways, used the web app over an entire term, aided by a team of research assistants, to evaluate how community college instructors engaged students after participating in professional development. EQUIP allowed Carnegie to study the effectiveness of its programs, while at the same time providing valuable data to teachers on how they could further improve their classroom engagement.

There are many things that can affect dental implant cost. We will work hard to offer financing options to ensure you get the care you need!
Factors That Affect Cost:
With all surgical procedures there are some unwanted but routine side effects. The diode laser is unique because it can be used as a surgical instrument but can minimize these side effects. The diode is able to stop bleeding and seal lymphatic and nerve endings during the procedure. This prevents inflammation and discomfort after the procedure that typical scalpel surgery would induce.
The diode is typically a faster and more efficient treatment option. It is essentially a painless procedure, meaning patients do not need to be numbed prior to the procedure or wait for the numbing to wear off in order to go about their day. The diode is a more sterile option as the tip sterilizes itself when in use. And patients typically experience less bleeding during and after the procedure because the diode is less invasive and more precise.
The diode laser is typically used during cosmetic, soft tissue management, decay removal, or surgical procedures. Cosmetically it can be used to effectively reshape the gum line and lengthen the appearance of the teeth. It can also be used to manage dental hygiene by killing the bacteria in the periodontal pockets and to remove decay on the teeth. The diode is also used during surgeries to make accurate and minimally invasive incisions. The laser's ability to eliminate bleeding ensures less post-operative swelling and discomfort for the patient.
There are several factors that influence tooth implant cost including:
Dental implants will save you money in the long-run and they will save your teeth and jaw!

The head of our research team, Michael Rechenthin, has a Ph.d. in Data Science. It's why we call him Dr. Data. Today he joins the guys to show how we can use the tools of Data Science to identify inefficiencies that can cost us time and money.
Mike starts off with an example that anyone who has worked in an office can understand. A picture is shown of the tastytrade kitchen area. Jules is hogging the toaster and Mike is fourth in line, impatiently waiting to toast his bagel. Mike then went through the math to show how much employee time was wasted waiting to use the toaster. Buying a better toaster that could toast more bagels at the same time would lead to an annualized Return on Capital (ROC) of 900%. Tom joked, "This might be the reason that we don't send our kids to get a Ph.D."
Mike then examined the traffic congestion caused by construction on Halsted Street. It's a busy north-south corridor not far from the tastytrade studios. Mike used conservative estimates of the time wasted by commuters in traffic. The amount of time wasted was remarkable.
Now that Dr. Data had everyone's attention he focused on something that can really make traders more money. A table showing capital efficiency in portfolio management was displayed. The table included our core strategies of a short Straddle, short Strangle and short at-the-money (ATM) Put. Mike compared the P/L on each strategy at expiration versus the P/L when managed at a percentage of the initial credit received (25% for the Straddle, 50% for the Strangle and 50% for the ATM Put). Mike demonstrated that while we make more money on average at expiration, it is not as capital efficient as managing positions. It isn't even close. The return per day is far superior if we manage our winners.
Watch this fun and informative segment of Skinny on Options Data Science with Tom Sosnoff, Tony Battista and tastytrade's research team leader Michael Rechenthin, Ph.D., for the very important takeaways and to show how while we may not always be able to be efficient in everyday life being capital efficient can make a huge difference in our trading.

Parents: How Child-Friendly Is Your Garden?
Just like the vast majority of parents out there, you probably like letting your kids out into the garden as much as possible. The fresh air, space, and being close to nature are all beautiful things that can help your little ones thrive, after all. However, is your garden actually as safe as you think it is? Some significant dangers are lurking in every backyard in the country, and unless you are making regular safety checks, it can be easy to miss the most obvious things. Let's take a look at the garden dangers you need to be watching out for.
Bacteria isn't just restricted to the inside of your home – there's plenty outside, too. Legionellosis bacteria, for example, can be deadly and can occur in any place in your garden that is damp, such as decorative fountains, water features, hot tubs and even potted, watered plants. The scary thing about this nasty bacteria is that you don't even have to get wet – you and your family could end up breathing it in via microscopic water droplets that float in the air. It's worth getting any source of water tested once in awhile by a professional – experts suggest at least every couple of years.
Water danger
There are other inherent dangers with water features in your garden, too. Drowning is, unfortunately, a lot more common than you might think, so if you have a hot tub or pool, find out more about pool covers and try and find the best one for your garden that ensures your kid's safety. Consider your ponds, too – perhaps fit a grate over them until your little ones are old enough to take care of themselves.
Weakened trees
We all love the idea of having trees in our garden, and the kids will love them too – especially if they can climb them. However, you need to keep a close eye on the health of your trees. They can fall a lot more often than you might think, and if they catch a disease, they can often get weak – starting with the branches. And if your children are climbing, even the nursery rhymes know what happens when the little bough breaks.
I've written before about the dangers of sandboxes, and you might be surprised to hear about their problems. Most play sand contains materials such as crystalline silica, which can cause an incredibly dangerous and incurable lung condition called silicosis. Play sand also contains a substance called asbestos tremolite, which, as you can probably work out, can lead to asbestos-caused lung cancer. No one wants this for their kids, of course, so when buying play sand be very careful about its ingredients.
We all want our children to experience wildlife close up, but we should also be careful about educating them about the dangers. Bees, wasps, and some types of flies can all cause nasty stings, of course. But depending on where you live, you might encounter everything from venomous snakes through to bears in your backyard – would your child know what to do in an event like this?
So, let everyone know – what dangers do YOU have in your garden?

This week's Lenten reflection is the next part of Chris Stefanick's Lenten video series. Chris explores how we define ourselves in the video below.
In the Gospel for the Fourth Sunday of Lent, John 3:14-21, Jesus describes his saving work with a rather strange comparison: he compares himself to a symbolic bronze snake!
Jesus was referring to an event in the Old Testament (Numbers 21:4-9). During their journey from Egypt to the Holy Land, God's people were afflicted with deadly snake bites. No fun. God told Moses the cure. He was to make a bronze serpent, set it on a pole, and anyone who'd been bitten who looked at the sculpture would be healed. That symbol of death became the source of life for people dying from venomous snake bites.
This event was a foreshadowing of what Jesus would do for us on the cross, and how he'd save us from the "venom" of sin. On the cross, Jesus became the image of just how painful and ugly our sin, death, and brokenness is. At the same time, he made the cross the sign of life. And we find our healing by fixing our eyes on him.
Our gut instinct when we encounter some sin, suffering, or dysfunction in our own lives is to look within ourselves for the answer. We seem to have an endless dialogue with that "voice" in our heads about our problems. But while some degree of self-reflection is good, the Israelites didn't find healing by staring at their snake bites, and we won't find the answer to our problems by an endless dwelling on self or circumstance. We find it in Jesus.
In the words of St. Pope John Paul II, "When you wonder about the mystery of yourself, look to Christ, who gives you the meaning of life. When you wonder what it means to be a mature person, look to Christ, who is the fullness of humanity. And when you wonder about your role in the future of the world look to Christ."
But how do we get out our heads and look to Christ? What does that even mean? I have two ideas for you:
1. When you pray, start with worship. Sometimes when you pray, you tend to focus on lifting up all of the things you need to God. I know you do this, because I do it too. But if that's the foundation of how you interact with God, you might end up more stressed than when you started because you sat in the presence of your problems and forgot the greatness of God. Praise turns us outside of ourselves and puts our eyes on him first. Praise and worship isn't complex. Try reciting the gloria from Mass, or your favorite worship song to God. Or simply spend a minute in prayer breathing in "Lord Jesus Christ" and breathing out "I praise you for your glory!"
2. Serve someone in need. On some mystical level, Jesus is in them (check out Matthew 25:34-40). Sometimes the best thing you can do to fix your own unhappiness is focus on the needs of people around you. It isn't hard to find opportunities to help the materially poor (and it's worth noting that Jesus warned us about the fires of hell in connection to a failure to help the poor more than anything else!). It might just open your eyes to the needs all around you. A family member starving for your attention. A lonely neighbor who needs a conversation. An elderly person down the street who needs a driveway shoveled, or just some interaction. When we live lives turned outside ourselves, it ends up healing us.
Lent. It's what Jesus does.
Let's do it with him.

The criminal justice system is failing vulnerable road users, says the CTC, after a driver was fined £625 and given five penalty points for deliberately driving at, and knocking over, a cyclist in Richmond Park, London.
The incident, which was ruled as 'driving without due care and attention', saw an altercation between Jon Weale from Kingston, Surrey, and the cyclist on 27 July 2013, which resulted in Weale 'using his car as a weapon'.
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
The charity said Weale should have been charged with dangerous driving or assault, which could have meant a jail term, while personal injury solicitor Paul Kitson, of Slater & Gordon, says he should have been charged with ABH.
CTC's road safety campaigner, Rhia Weston, said: "The criminal justice system is failing cyclists and other vulnerable road users by treating bad drivers with such leniency, through both weak charging and weak sentencing.
"The driver in this case used his vehicle as a weapon, he should have been charged with dangerous driving or assault, not driving without due care and attention which implies that the victim was only inconvenienced, rather than endangered, by his driving. He would have faced a much tougher penalty – potentially a jail term – if he had been charged appropriately," said Weston.
The Richmond and Twickenham Times reported the incident saw Weale pull up alongside the cyclist on 27 July 2013 and sound his horn. The car's passenger shouted abuse at the cyclist, who apparently responded by swearing, before Weale drove at the cyclist, knocking him off his bike.
Following an appearance at Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court on 12th May, Weale received £100 fine for driving without due care and attention, a further £250 and costs of £250, with victim charges of £25. He received the five penalty points for failing to stop.
Paul Kitson said: "I think the motorist was lucky to be charged with careless driving. The correct charge ought to have been ABH if he consciously used his vehicle as a weapon.
He added: "I live very near to Richmond Park and cycle there most weekends. I am not surprised to read this report as there is often much tension between cyclists and motorists who use the park. Many cycle clubs, notably the London Dynamo use the park for training rides."
"The 20 mph speed limit is often ignored by both motorists and cyclists. I have witnessed anti-social behaviour both from motorists and cyclists.
"On this occasion the motorist appears to have used his vehicle as a weapon which is highly dangerous and downright irresponsible. A fine with points on his licence is in my view a light sentence. A driving ban of six months would surely be more appropriate. The offending driver would then need to use alternative means of transport such as the bicycle," he said.
The CTC's statement comes ahead of its sentencing debate next Friday morning (June 13), where experts including criminal defence specialists, a deputy high court judge, and crown prosecution service policy advisor will meet to discuss sentencing for driving offences and provide suggestions to the Sentencing Council for revised sentencing guidelines. Questions can be tweeted on the day #CTCdebate.

Even inside the Madras University campus, no one seems to know about the Government Oriental Manuscripts Library and Research Centre. But behind the tall façade of the University library, between mounds of sand and construction material is a sign that points to an arch and from there on, up the stairs is a library that began in 1869 mainly out of the private collections of three men.
Teakwood cabinets, card drawers, tall arches and wooden-glass doors with brass handles — the library wears its history on its sleeve. Right next to the curator R. Chandramohan's office is a Pandit's Room, a reminder of a time when the staff who worked at the library were scholars or pandits. The storage facility has rows and rows of teakwood planks with dark manuscripts inside.
Colonel Colin Mackenzie came to India in 1783 as a part of the Cadet of Engineers that the East India Company in Madras recruited. An ardent interest in mathematics and languages led him to collect a large number of manuscripts, coins, maps, inscriptions and so on. These described in great detail the culture, behaviour, history, customs and religion of that time.
"He was appointed as the Surveyor-General of the company as well," says Chandramohan. "He got some of his staff to travel all over the country, especially the south, to gather these scripts. And when he moved to Calcutta, he took his collection along with him." Mackenzie collected manuscripts until he died in 1821.
This collection was purchased by the East India Company in 1821 for 10,000 pounds. "It was divided into three parts. One was retained in London, another was sent to the National Library in Calcutta and one was sent to Madras," says Chandramohan.
Apart from Mackenzie's books were Dr. Lyden's (he was a linguist and traveller) collection of manuscripts in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada and C.P. Brown's collection of paper manuscripts in Sanskrit and Telugu which were brought here in 1855. The library, an amalgamation of these collections began as a part of the Presidency College, Madras. In 1870, a certain Pickford was asked to create a catalogue for them. "You could call him the first librarian," says Chandramohan. He worked in the college as a Professor of Sanskrit. He was even asked to add to the collection and purchase scripts whenever he came across them. Hence, the collection grew.
Importance of manuscripts
"For a long time people didn't understand the importance of these manuscripts," says Chandramohan "The library didn't have a permanent address and kept shifting, from the Secretariat to the Museum until it came to the Madras University campus in 1936. In 1942, during World War II, the scripts were transferred to Tirupati as there was an imminent danger of bombing. When the war was over, they were brought back here."
Now, the library has about 72,315 manuscripts, most of them written on palm leaf but some on copper plates, Kadidam, barks of Bhurja tree, leather and other material as well. Of these about 49,000 manuscripts are in Sanskrit, while Tamil manuscripts number close to 16,000. Other languages include Kannada, Telugu, Marathi, Urdu and Persian. The library also has about 22,887 books for reference.
"During the formation of states after Independence, about 7,000 manuscripts in Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam were moved from here to their respective states," Chandramohan adds. "Now, this library is a research-oriented one. A lot of PhD students and foreigners studying languages come here for reference. We don't lend any of our material because they're too valuable."
The oldest manuscript in the library is the 450-year-old medicinal book, Agathiyam. There are some shaped as lingams too. The library even has a script that has remained unidentified since its discovery. "A lot of the works here are primary sources of information and are unpublished. We have manuscripts across 19 subjects like literature, drama, poetry, Siddha, Unani, Ayurveda, architecture and more," he says.
The library also preserves its collection through chemical and manual methods. "The life of a manuscript is anywhere between 200 to 300 years after which it begins to decay. These scripts we have are copies of originals that were written more than 1,000 years ago. Scribes would copy down texts so that the information isn't destroyed," says Chandramohan.
Digitisation plans
The Government has now granted the library Rs. 5 crore for modernisation and digitisation of content. "We've already digitised 1,862 Siddha manuscripts and are working on the rest," he says. On whether the collection of manuscripts has grown in recent times, Chandramohan shakes his head. "There are individuals with their private collections who consider it a treasure and do not want to part with it. What we ask of them is to allow us to train them in matters of conservation and restoration of these manuscripts so that they don't decay and the information is not lost."
If you are in the possession of an old manuscript that you'd like to conserve or restore, you can contact the library at 044 25365130.

I want to thank all of you who have signed up for the CARM newsletter. This is the first one of the year and I hope that you enjoy it as well as the rest of them to come. And, thank you for supporting CARM. It is a big help.
I should let you know that my wife and I are seriously considering me quitting my computer job and trying to work with CARM full-time. It seems as though the Lord is preparing us for this. When we moved from San Diego to Boise Idaho, I took a significant cut in pay. Furthermore, I just found out yesterday that my pay is being lowered again by two dollars per hour. This is because the company that I work for is having financial difficulties. So, it seems as though the Lord is slowly weaning me from secular support and moving me to a full-time position in CARM.
Please remember me in your prayers concerning this issue. It is a great responsibility to provide for my family and I take it very seriously.
We are scheduled to move into our new house in three weeks. We praise God for this opportunity. If and when I go full-time, I will have a large office to house my very large library, or I can finally unpack all the books that people have sent me over the years, place them on bookshelves, and continue to do research. It is very time-consuming and mentally challenging to read through false literature, false doctrines, document the errors, and then write about it. But, I love it and look forward to being able to get back into tackling the issues with which to the Lord has commissioned me to do.
following are just some of the e-mails I have received with comments from people regarding CARM.
Let your mind dwell on these things.
Perhaps you have heard the saying, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste." It is true. What we think in the deepest parts of our minds is the true reflection of who we are and if we let our minds dwell on that which is unholy, then we are, in a sense, wasting our God given gift of life and redemption. Jesus said,"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also," (Matt. 6:21). Scripture uses the term "heart" as a symbol of the deepest part of what we are. This is why Jesus says that where our treasure is, that is where our hearts will also be.
Where is your treasure? To what do you devote the most time? I'm not speaking about a job where you need to devote a lot of your time to provide for yourself and your family. I'm speaking of those things that occupy your mind when you have free time. What do you think about? What is your heart's desire?
For some people, sports is a major part of their lives. They fill their minds with statistics. For other's, it's cooking, or their children, or buying that next special something, or whatever else it might be. Of course, there's nothing wrong with being captivated by something in our lives that gives us passion purpose -- as long as it isn't sinful. I remember a friend of long ago who had a passion for plants. He loved exotic species from around the world and could recite their Latin names as well as their English ones. He could tell me where each plant came from, what it could in could not do, if it bore flowers, or any other special point about almost any plant. He had a fascination with them and a love for them. Therefore it was easy for me to conclude that he treasured plants and that his heart was truly "in" to plants. Of course, I could not relate. My treasure is in Christian apologetics to which he had no interest. We're all different aren't we?
Sometimes our minds dwell on those things that interest us because our interests drive our minds. But the Scripture says that we are to have our mind dwell upon good things. In other words, instead of letting our minds be led around by our passions, we are to discipline are thinking to godly things. This is what the Bible says: "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things," (Phil. 4:8).
There are eight conditions that Paul mentions with which our minds are to dwell. This does not mean that a particular mind-topic should qualify in every single area. Instead, the idea that Paul is trying to get across to us is that what our minds dwell on is important and that we should be thinking of things that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, good, excellent, and worthy of praise. Therefore, you need to ask yourself if what you think about, if what your treasure is, falls under the guideless listed in Phil. 4:8.
God has given these words of wisdom not as a restriction, but as a protection. What we think and how we think can influence what we are down deep. If we are to reflect Christ in our lives, should we not think of things that are true and good and right? Should we not have our minds dwell upon that which is holy and pure? Absolutely. In fact, God always dwells upon that which is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, good, excellent, and worthy of praise. He does this because He is holy. Because God is Holy, God says to us, "You shall be holy, for I am holy," (1 Pet. 1:16). So, train your mind to think on godly things.

| 9.7°C Belfast
Organisers of this summer's World Police and Fire Games in Northern Ireland have insisted they will be ready on time.
They are under increasing pressure to find a venue for the opening ceremony after rugby bosses ruled out Ravenhill.
It had been hoped the event, which is less than six months away, could be staged at the east Belfast stadium, but the Irish Rugby Football Union refused the request, claiming it would clash with plans to unveil their revamped facility.
Alistair McGowan, head of marketing with the 2013 World Police and Fire Games, admitted they faced a huge challenge but was confident they would find a fit-for-purpose facility. He said: "We would like to have been further down the line in terms of the stadium. But the actual organisation of the Games is very, very well advanced."
Almost £15 million of Government funding is being spent on constructing new stands at Ravenhill. The building work will increase capacity to 18,000. The Department of Culture Arts and Leisure (DCAL) is also part-funding the Police and Fire Games - billed as the third largest international multi-sport event in the world - which will run for 10 days in August.
More than 25,000 visitors, including 10,000 competitors from 70 different countries, are expected in Northern Ireland for the event. An athletics village is being set up at Custom House Square in Belfast city centre.
Mr McGowan said his company was engaged in detailed discussions with other venues but declined to disclose their location. He told Radio Ulster: "It is not just about the stadium, it is also about the contents and Belfast City Council has done a great job in putting that together. They are 95% ready."
Alternatives include the former Maze prison site and the recently redeveloped Titanic Quarter, but the choice has been limited because refurbishment of Windsor Park and Casement Park are likely to be under way in August.
Michael McGimpsey, who sits on the DCAL scrutiny committee at Stormont, described the situation as deeply disturbing. The Ulster Unionist MLA said: "There is no excuse for this failure as we have been aware since as far back as 2007 that the Games would be hosted here. I am also surprised that this issue was not brought to the attention of the culture, arts and leisure committee sooner."
It is understood 35 venues across Northern Ireland have been secured for the 65 sports. Many of the track-and-field events are being held at the Mary Peters Track in south Belfast which has received a multimillion-pound upgrade. Belfast's Waterfront Hall, the Odyssey arena and Bangor aquatics complex are also being utilised. The Games are expected to generate up to £15 million for the local economy. Sports Minister Caral Ni Chuilin declined to comment.

The Graduates Survey System is an instrument that allows the Ministry to collect data on graduates' whereabouts and their competency to enter the job market. This research is carried out by the means of an e-questionnaire uploaded to the website of the Graduates Survey System. The launch of this system comes as a coronation of two years of work by a team that developed the theoretical framework of the survey; designed the questionnaire, and tested it. In addition, a database was built for the targeted graduates, as well as an electronic survey system and a website specifically designed for the project.
The survey has already covered graduates from private universities and colleges of the academic years 2002/2003, 2004/2005, and 2007/2008. The survey is now launched for the graduates of the academic years 2009/2010, and 2010/2011. The survey is expected to provide valuable data and indicators on the link between higher education and the job market, which in turn provides Higher Education Institutions with feedback on the skills, competencies and specialisations of graduates that are required by the job market. It also allows for these institutions, if required, to enrich and enhance their program offerings. In addition, the research results provide key decision makers and stakeholders in the Higher Education sector with data and indicators that can assist them in the development of research based policies. Furthermore, the results provide (future) graduates and professional advisory institutions, students, their parents and families, as well as the society at large, with valuable information.
For more details, visit www.ogss.gov.om
The Higher Education Statistical System is managed by the Higher Education Admission Centre (HEAC); it is an electronic system designed to collect and disseminate detailed data about students, academics and administrators in all Higher Education Institutions in the Sultanate about Omani students who (will) study abroad, financial data on each Higher Education Institution, as well as data on graduated students. The HEAC also verifies, documents, and provides data to Higher Education Institutions, government entities, research and study centers as well other concerned entities.

Prism shaped sliding doors offer new possibilities in the most architecturally challenging environments. Prism doors can cleverly cover many blind spots. They allow building designers to maintain distinctive features of a building, without limiting the functionality of passage for end users. Superiorly designed doors provide realization of many architectural features, like corner entrances, angle facades, combination of two single doors. The doors can be used either for external or internal passages.
The doors are also available with redundant function, so they can be installed on emergency exits and escape routes, according to EN 16005 standard. In case of fire signal, power failure, malfunctioning of the system or activation of emergency switch, the sliding opening is performed automatically.
These doors allow simple and safe evacuation.
Automatic sliding doors with their extraordinary functionality also provide an additional unique "energy save" feature, which means that in the door operating mode "open" or "closed" they consume less than 0.5Wh of electric power and thus represent a unique innovation. Read more..

text: Dear Patricia, I don't have your e-mail address so I'm sending this via sanet (appologies to all those for whom it's not relevant). You might try Simon Linington or John Dickie at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. Kew have funding from the Millenium Commission in the UK to produce a Millenium Seed Bank Project. The aims of this project are to: Collect and conserve samples of most of the UK's native seed-bearing species by the year 2000. Collect and conserve seed samples from 10% of the world's seed bearing species during the years 2000-2009, concentrating on dryland regions and involving collaboration of organisations in many countries. Make the collections available for research. Carry out seed research to maximise efficiency of the above conservation effort; develop a database of seed information and disseminate information. Provide training and research opportunities, particularly for the overseas collaborating organisations. Provide a building, by the year 2000, as a focus for the above activities to house the seed bank, research and training facilities and general public access. Anyone interested should contact the Seed conservation section, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Wakehurst Place, Ardingly, West Sussex RH17 6TN, UK - Tel: (+44) (0)1444 894000, Fax: (+44) (0)1444 894069, E-Mail: email@example.com I hope this helps.

The Detroit Pistons easily beat the short-handed Los Angeles Clippers 92-74 for their seventh straight win in Monday's National Basketball Association action.
Chris Webber had 19 points and nine rebounds for the Pistons. The Clippers played without Elton Brand who missed the game due to back spasms.
At Denver, Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points, despite sitting out most of the fourth quarter with a bruised right thigh as the Nuggets hammered the Golden State Warriors 123-111. Denver's J.R. Smith also had 28 points, while Al Harrington led the Warriors with 24 points.
The Utah Jazz won their fifth in a row with an easy 102-76 romp over the Atlanta Hawks. Mehmet Okur had 19 points and six rebounds for the Jazz.

Cocktails and Bistro Food at the
Glenbervie Bisto
Refined yet relaxed, the Glenbervie is the place to enjoy excellent cocktails and tasty bistro style food. The name itself comes from one of West Cornwall's most famous shipwrecks. Far from being a cause for lament, the sinking of the Glenbervie in 1902 was the toast of the Lizard. Why? Well, aside from the fact that all 16 crew were saved, hundreds of barrels of rum, brandy and whisky were also "rescued" by locals at low tide. They were decidedly "cheerful" for weeks on end, so the story goes.
Today, we continue this tradition of good cheer with cracking cocktails and a fantastic menu of bistro favourites. Whether you fancy a perfectly-mixed nightcap, or gourmet fish and chips, the Glenbervie is the place. Or you could really push the boat out with locally reared "Mullion" steak or the hotel's signature seafood platter (24 hours' notice required).
Relax, unwind, indulge
With food available from 12:30 right through till 9pm, the Glenbervie Bar is the ideal place for a relaxed meal or perhaps a glass or two of what you fancy. As with our Atlantic View Restaurant, our bistro style menu is always changing according to what is at its freshest and finest from our favourite local suppliers. This means that there is always something different to try. Do note that all our dishes are cooked fresh to order and good food takes time; the only frozen food we serve is the ice cream!

Allura Fong was born in San Francisco in 1974 and continues to live in the city with her family. She has been an artist in the Creativity Explored 2 studio since 1996.
Fong typically works with an assemblage process. She cuts out parts of her drawings and paintings and collages them together to create a colorful, expressive visage. The layering in Fong's artwork produces a floating effect that adds to the dreamy quality of her subject matter of hearts and organic shapes. This collage process has developed into her current use of large scale photocopies. These photocopies are assembled into a grid that serves as a figurative base over which she uses various media to cover, or accent, certain areas, creating a powerful combination of abstraction and realism.
In 2003, Fong's digital work was featured in a DVD compilation of animated shorts made in the Creativity Explored 2 studio. In 2015, Fong completed a new animation video titled Hearts & Flowers.

A recent upgrade of Management Reporter resulted in a fairly generic error message being displayed while trying to configure the legacy connector (the connector type is not important for this error):
Management Reporter 2012
An error occurred while configuring 'Management Reporter Application Service'. Check the deployment log for details.
I opened up the deployment log and quickly found the error (I'll only post the significant parts of the log as it is quite long):

"Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" + Interactive Trailer = Achievement Unlocked! [AUTOPLAY]
The interactive trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World has made its debut, and we have to say: This is one of the coolest trailers we've ever seen.
The interactive trailer utilizes the second full-length trailer for the film, but transforms it into a game chock-full of extra information about the film and how it was made. Much of the information is narrated by director Edgar Wright.
The object of the trailer is simple: Click on the trailer to find as many pieces of information on the movie as possible. When you find a secret, you can check out the links in the interactive trailer's information stream for more details about the film. The more secrets you find, the more points you gain and achievements you unlock.
We love the creativity that Universal Pictures and the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World team are putting behind the marketing campaign. We could play with the interactive trailer for hours. And that's exactly the point.
The film hits theaters next Friday, August 13.
