Kristen Stewart: 5 Reasons She Must Visit Robert Pattinson In Australia
Even though Rob asked for a trial separation, our experts agree that Kristen should hop on a plane immediately and visit the actor in Australia. Read on for all the EXCLUSIVE details on how Kristen can save their relationship!
According to our experts, now is the perfect time for Kristen Stewart to show Rob how much she really loves him. With no set start dates for any of her upcoming films, Kristen should take advantage of her free time and go after what she wants — Robert Pattinson!
Kristen Stewart Needs To Follow Her Heart
Dr. Phil Dembo tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY, "Right now, Robert Pattinson is wanting a 'trial separation' while he is in Australia. Perhaps it is time that Kristin stop reacting to the circumstance and respond to what she wants."
According to Dr. Dembo, here are five good reasons why Kristin needs to get on an airplane and leave for Australia ASAP:
1. "It's time for Kristin to fight for what she wants in her love life. If she wants Robert, then she should go fight for him."
2. "Robert needs to see intention and conviction out of Kristin and that she will not only be faithful but be committed…to him…to them."
3. "Trial separations give people time to think about what they want. After what these two have been through, if they don't know what they want, they never will."
4. "Kristin and Robert could use time together away from the public's eye and find a space and time to spend together and get through their issues."
5. "Kristin and Robert seem to be bonded through agony and pain. Getting on a plane and showing your man that you will no longer live in pain, is the first step toward their healing and having a healthier life together."
How Kristen Can Surprise Rob
Dr. Jeff Gardere, psychologist and creator of the brand-new Healthy Divorce App, agrees with Dr. Dembo, and tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY, "Kristen could plan a weekend honeymoon/getaway somewhere in Australia. This way they can have some alone time."
Should Kristen Give Rob Space?
Relationship expert Christy Whitman disagrees and thinks Kristen should respect Rob's desire for space.
Christy tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY, "Whenever you are in a relationship with someone, and they are asking for something, it is really important to honor the other person and what their requests are. This will help them to grow the relationship. The Law of Allowing is so important for each person to apply in a relationship. We may not approve of what the other person is needing, but if we can get to a place of acceptance then we can be free and the relationship will have the space to grow."
Kristen Must Not Look Clingy To Rob
Dr. Carole Lieberman also thinks Kristen should keep her distance because she is becoming too desperate and clingy.
Dr. Lieberman, author of Bad Girls: Why Men Love Them & How Good Girls Can Learn Their Secrets tells HollywoodLife.com, "Kristen needs to cool it a bit. She should keep in touch once every day or two, but she shouldn't stalk Rob with daily floods of attempted communication.
"Instead, she should take this time to work on herself – by going to psychotherapy and getting some less grungy clothes," explains Dr. Lieberman. "This is Rob Pattinson, after all. She looks like she's just come from throwing out the garbage, instead of out in public with him. Kristen may be depressed, feeling like she sees the writing on the wall– that he's going to dump her. And if she doesn't make more of an effort to make herself desirable, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy."
Do YOU Think Kristen Should Go To Rob?
Do you agree with the experts' advice? What do YOU think HollywoodLifers: should Kristen get on a plane ASAP, and go visit Rob or should she give him space and respect the trial separation?

I used to do a lot of landscape photography - just because I'm from Tasmania, and theres a lot to take photos of.
I moved to Canberra, didn't realise how expensive living here was compared to Tassie - and so I sold out, started taking pictures of hot girls (or in Canberra's case, girls who think theyre hot or wish they were hot), and in the end packed in the whole photography game when I got thoroughly jack of the "glamour photography scene" in Canberra. (Getting talked into event photography that I didnt want to do in the first place was even worse...)
Literally, all I have left is the cheapest DSLR I ever owned, 3 different, multi-purpose lenses, and a couple of sd cards. I dont even still have a tripod to take...
Still, at least the old Pentax K200d weights bugger all - although I'm sure it's brick by todays standards.
Hey fatdudeonabike,
I'd have thought the Pentax would be the best camera to get back into photography. I wish my Nikon had the same selection of great priced SMC lenses at my disposal. I bought my D7000 just before becoming aware of the Pentax
K5 and wished I'd waited a bit. Dont wait till you think your skinny enough to tour as "hauling yourself and gear up those climbs and back" is just the sort of exercise to shed kilos. Warrens pics are courtesy of some kit lenses if I remember correctly so get out and use the tools you've got is my advice. Look whats been achieved with a pinhole camera before being too worried about what the oldest digital can do in your hands. I was quite chuffed to be complimented recently on some very basic pics using my Sony F717 which if truth be told I'm more comfortable with than my newish DSLR. Happy spinning

The Stanyans Are Here
The Stanyans (formerly the Speedster) have arrived in all their black, silver and chromed glory. This is our lugged CrMo road sport frame/fork set (perfect for centuries and multi-day charity rides). We will try to get info and more pix up on the website soon, but shops can order from Merry Sales this week.
We named it after Stanyan St. in SF, because the street is historically known for its many bicycle shops. It used have at least 7 bike shops all in the four-block area where it borders Golden Gate Park.
(Maybe one of you knows of more)
Currently there are four:
American Cyclery and American Cyclery, Too
Avenue Cyclery
SF Cyclery
American Cyclery, Too used to be San Francisco Cyclery which is where I got my first road bike, a turquoise blue Schwinn Varsity. There were also Lincoln Cyclery, Start to Finish, and Vision Cyclery. Avenue Cyclery also owned a second shop in the area, but the name escapes me.
Great little spot in the city. Close to all the fun shops and eateries on Haight Street and just cross the street to test ride your bike in Golden Gate Park.

Everytime i download the update and try to install i get an "update failed to install" prompt. i assumed it was because i had a rooted phone, so proceded with the unroot process, i used doomlords easy unroot kit, and i have done a revover on my phone, i still have the "su" icon and still can not update my phone. Anyone else have the issue and if so can anyone help fully restore my razr back to stock so that i can install this new update? thanks

Let's be honest. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6 is nothing more than a rumor at this point. Jonathan Geller of BGR first reported on the device back in December and then I saw a prototype device in January, but we have no hard evidence to suggest that this product will ever come to market.
However, I think we all agree that Samsung will issue a response to the new iPad within the coming months, so we will continue to speculate about the announcement and dig for new details. Today I came across this rather interesting picture of an unreleased tablet, hidden on Samsung's own site.
It looks similar to the Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) that we saw at Mobile World Congress, but the speaker grills and coloring are different. It could just be some random mockup, but it was found on a product page for Exynos 5250. Yep, that's the same 2 GHz Exynos 5250 that we all expect to power this mysterious Galaxy Tab 11.6.
So I ask again, what is this Samsung tablet?

UnNews:Darwinism receive big blow as ID questions Keyboard compatibility
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
21 February 2009
Vatican City — Scientists worldwide have been stunned today in a haze of misguidance as the Vatican declared his ultimate new argument supporting Intelligent Design (ID) theory and proving that humans have been divinely created to fit into their environment including the computerized environment we live in.
The Vatican monk-scientists said that the computer keyboard we use daily is too well organized to fit our hands that such a likeliness is highly improbable to be pure luck and it can't be evolution either since Darwin claims that evolution takes hundreds and thousands of years while we only know the keyboard since a few decades, the elimination of those heretic ideas leaves us only one last explanation: The human hands have been created by God to fit the keyboard so well.
"Human hands and fingers fit too perfectly [to the keyboard] in size, people from various ages and [hand] sizes can use the keyboard with very little annoyance." Said a priest in the Vatican main hall.
In a private interview to UnNews, Vatican officials said that they hope that new discovery shows clearly the heresy brought by Darwin and his followers to shake the foundations of the Church. They also said they wish people would use commons sense when trying to make a judgment that leads their thoughts back to the Church, if common sense leads them away from the Church at that point they should stop using it and turn back to their faith.

As part of Suffolk's robust experiential learning offerings, the in-house clinics provide students the opportunity to learn best practices in all aspects of client representation under the close supervision of our nationally ranked clinical law faculty. From representing young people facing suspension from school to helping microenterprises fight "corporate bullying," students in the clinics help solve real world problems for clients who would otherwise go unrepresented.
Each of the in-house clinics trains students to be practice-ready by teaching key legal skills in the context of a real world client/problem; asking students to consistently reflect on their performance; and documenting improvements in skills over time. This reflective process allows students to move from learning the law to doing the law and doing it well. By the end of the year, students in every clinic have interviewed and counseled clients, engaged in strategic decision making and advocated for their clients' interests. It's what makes clinic alumni consistently say that their clinic was the best experience they had in law school.

Clinical Program Facts and History
To be eligible to enroll in most in-house clinics, students must be in their last two years of law school. Suffolk Defenders and Suffolk Prosecutors are only open to students in their final year.
In addition, students must be eligible to be certified as student practitioners pursuant to Rule 3:03 of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ("SJC"). Suffolk has adopted this rule and requires that all students applying for a clinic be both:
- In good academic standing at time of application and when the clinic begins; and
- Have successfully completed Evidence. Successful completion means that a student has received a satisfactory grade.
Students with questions about good academic standing or satisfactory grades should consult with the Dean of Students.
- No more than 12 experiential credits may be accumulated by any student.
Students who accept a slot in the in-house clinics must commit to being in the clinic for a full academic year. (10 credits) Partial credit is not available. Students interested in a one-semester experience can explore the various externship offering.
Students receive one letter grade at the end of the academic year which is the grade for the full 10 credits of the clinic. Clinical faculty will provide a verbal evaluation at the end of the first semester and a written evaluation at the end of the academic year based on detailed grading criteria.
Students enrolled in an in-house clinic have a total credit limit of 15 credit hours. Overloads are not allowed due to the time demands involved in the clinics.
The time commitment for the clinics includes:
- a weekly clinic seminar that focus on lawyering skills and ethics;
- a weekly supervision meeting that focuses on professional development and case strategy;
- at least 13 hours a week of field work (please note that 13 hours a week is the minimum number of hours required and students should consult relevant clinical faculty about the average number of hours required)
While regular feedback and supervision is offered, students are expected to be self-directed in their learning.
As further detailed in the grading criteria, clinic students are expected to demonstrate the following by the end of the academic year:
- professional habits and judgment,
- an understanding of ethical obligations,
- fundamental lawyering skills and values,
- critical thinking,
- cross-cultural competence, including client-centered lawyering, listening and non-legal language skills.
There is a uniform application for the in-house clinics and the Suffolk Prosecutors program. The specific programs associated with the uniform application are listed on that form, which will be available as a link on this website in the month of February. The application requires that students complete a series of short answer questions and attach a current resume and transcript (unofficial is fine).
The application becomes available in the beginning of February and will be on the Clinical webpage here. Late applications are reviewed only after all other applications are considered. Applications must be submitted online using the online application. Paper applications will not be accepted. Please do not email the application directly to any clinic director or to clinic staff.
The in-house clinics and the Prosecutors Program select students based on a student's overall application, including the statement of interest, review of a student's transcript, resume, and prior experience. In some cases, preference in these programs is also given to students with relevant foreign language fluency or completion of relevant courses. Some programs require an interview prior to acceptance. Please refer to the Clinical Programs Frequently Asked Questions (available online and in the Clinical Programs office) for more details on the application process and the section referencing important dates. There is an Informational Session around the time the application becomes available in February. Clinical faculty and current students will be available to assist with questions.
Some students may be selected for interviews with a clinic director. Interviews are conducted at the discretion of individual directors and students will be contacted if an interview is required. All interviews will be conducted in March. Please do not contact clinical faculty or staff regarding interviews.
Results of the selection process will be mailed to students prior to early registration. Students will receive an email confirming status of their application. Students must respond to the offer of placement in an in-house clinic. Subsequent withdrawal from an can result in students being barred from participation in other externship programs. Thus, it is vital that students speak with all relevant faculty about their goals and plans.Students applying using the uniform application are reminded that they may not simultaneously apply to the Civil and Judicial Externship Program. Students should, however, contact Professor Bernadette Feeley if they are simultaneously interested in the Civil and Judicial Externship Program and one of the programs on the uniform application. Failure to apprise Professor Feeley can result in students being barred from participation in that program (i.e., if a student is placed in another externship and then withdraws, that student is not eligible for another externship or in-house clinic in that semester.)
Conflict of Interest
Conflicts of Interest
Students are ineligible for clinical programs if their employment presents an actual conflict of interest with any of the in-house clinics. Because the in-house clinics are viewed as a single law firm, students who are engaged in employment that conflicts with the clients of any of the clinics are disqualified under Mass R. Prof. C. 1.7 and 1.10.
Clinical Programs Facts and History
Suffolk's first clinical programs included the Suffolk Defenders, Prosecutors and Family Advocacy. As an extension of the law school's mission to work with marginalized communities, these programs were founded by faculty and lawyers committed to working with students to reach the most vulnerable clients.
As early as 1972, Suffolk Law students were representing defendants in criminal courts and parties to divorces. Soon after, Suffolk Prosecutors began sending students to work with the district attorney's offices around the Boston area.
More than 40 years later, the program boasts eight experiential learning opportunities, as well as externships in New England, and internships in the U.S. and abroad. Its commitment to excellence has earned Top 30 rankings in US News & World Report since 2009. In 2017, Suffolk Law's clinics were ranked 27th.

MW: Eurozone house prices rise by fastest since 2007
Eurozone house prices rose at the fastest pace in more than nine years during the final three months of 2016, a sign the currency area's modest economic recovery is deepening.
The European Union's statistics agency said Friday that house prices in the three months through December 2016 were up 0.8% from the third quarter and 4.1% from the end of 2015. That was the largest annual rise since the third quarter of 2007, a year before the world-wide financial crisis was triggered by the collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers.
The pickup in house prices reflects a steady decline in unemployment rates, as well as low interest rates. Rising house prices should support growth over the coming months, since homeowners should feel wealthier and therefore inclined to spend more.

Among the larger eurozone economies, the pickup in prices was led by Germany, which boasts the strongest jobs market and has been less affected by the currency area's government debt and banking problems. Prices there were up 1.7% on the quarter, and 6.7% on the year, although increases have been sharper in some cities.
There were also clear signs of recovery in the countries worst hit by the financial crisis and the currency bloc's subsequent troubles. Spanish prices were up 4.4% on the year, and Irish prices were up 7.6%.
In common with other developed regions, eurozone house prices fell after the financial crisis, but began to rise again from mid-2010. Unlike the U.S. and elsewhere, eurozone house prices then fell once more and only began to rise again in mid-2014.
The start of that rebound coincided with the first of a series of stimulus measures announced by the European Central Bank that were designed to boost weak economic growth and very low inflation. Those stimulus programs have led to worries in Germany and elsewhere that prices of assets--including houses--could surge and sow the seeds of another financial crisis.
In a speech Thursday, Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann urged the ECB to consider reducing its monetary stimulus, warning that very low interest rates harbored "growing risks" for the stability of the eurozone's financial system.
"The central bank must be careful that its policies don't ultimately do more harm than good," Mr. Weidmann said.
But there are few signs of overheating in most housing markets and borrowing to fund home purchases has remained modest. According to ECB figures, mortgage lending in February was just 2.9% higher than in the same month of 2016.

The Exploratorium, a kids' science center that's been a family destination in San Francisco since 1969, has closed its doors for three months in preparation for a reopening at a new waterfront spot.
The old Exploratorium, at 3601 Lyon St. in the Presidio, celebrated its move by offering free admission on its closing day, Wednesday, Jan. 2, drawing a record 9,755 visitors, a spokeswoman said. The new location, Pier 15 on the Embarcadero, is due to open April 17.
The new space will be 330,000 square feet, about three times the size of the old space, about six times the size of a football field. Admission will remain the same: $25 for adult non-members, $19 for children aged 6 and up.

Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee State men's basketball team's run at an OVC Championship ended Friday night with a 73-82 loss at the hands of Belmont.
Kellen Thornton paced TSU with his ninth double-double of the season, scoring a team-high 22 points and a game-high 12 boards.
Also recording a double-double was Patrick Miller who poured in 17 points on 6-of-13 shooting and 12 assists.
With his 12 dimes, Miller tied Kareem Gilbert's school-record for assists in a season with 191.
Senior Robert Covington had a solid game for TSU, dropping 16 points and securing six boards.
TSU outshot Belmont in the contest 47.5 percent to 45, but the Tigers committed 21 turnovers while the Bruins had just 11.
Both sides started the game hot from the floor as TSU canned four of its first six shots while the Bruins were 5-of-6. Even though Belmont made more field goals in the game's first few minutes, Covington and Jay Harris each had triples to put TSU up, 12-10.
TSU's defense tightened up after BU's hot start, forcing the Bruins to miss their next nine shots. That allowed the Tigers to go on a 9-0 run and race out to a 21-12 advantage with nine minutes left to go in the first half.
Slowly, Belmont began to trim into the Tiger's cushion and a freebie from BU's Kerron Johnson at the 2:37 mark polished off an 11-0 Belmont run and gave the Bruins a three-point lead. TSU had five of its 13 first-half turnovers during the drought to aid the BU cause.
Miller made a couple of free throws to close out the first half, but TSU trailed, 29-32, heading into the break.
Tennessee State held the Bruins to a 0-for-10 line from deep during the game's opening period.
BU started the second stanza on a 6-0 run, forcing TSU head coach Travis Williams to call a timeout with only 1:50 off of the clock. Miller immediately made a three after the brief stoppage, but Belmont's Ian Clark answered with a triple of his own on the Bruins' next possession.
TSU made five of its next seven shots during the game's following six minutes, but Belmont scored four more threes during the time to make the score 59-50 in its favor with 12 minutes to play.
A coast-to-coast layup from Miller at the eight minute mark capped a 7-0 TSU run, and the Tigers suddenly found themselves down by just four. But, again, Clark knocked down a three and Belmont was back on top, 66-59.
Clark finished the game with 26 points on 8-of-13 shooting. He was also 6-for-10 on three-point attempts.
The sides played it close for the remainder of the game and TSU had a chance to make it a one-possession game when Miller stole the ball with a minute to go. He passed it up ahead to Thornton who tried to bait his defender into a three-point play, but Thornton missed the layup and he didn't get the call, either.
The Tigers were forced to foul the Bruins for the remainder of the contest, and Belmont made 7-of-8 free throws down the stretch to ice the game.
TSU shot 83.3 percent from the charity stripe, but only had six attempts. Belmont made 21-of-30 freebies for a 70 percent clip.
Tennessee State will wait approximately one-and-a-half weeks to see if it will be playing in a postseason tournament.
--TSU Tigers--

I'm sure most of you are aware of the stories in the press regarding Foxconn, the world's largest electronics manufacturer, which produces, among other things, parts for just about every large electronics brand you can think of - from Apple to Dell, from HP to Nintendo. Personally, I own a whole boatload of devices which are (mostly) made by Foxconn: three motherboards (my desktop, bedroom HTPC, and PowerMac G4) and my Xbox 360.
In recent months, the press and blogs have focussed quite a lot on the suicides happening at Foxconn; this year, 10 Foxconn employees have committed suicide. Many blame possible inhumane working conditions at Foxconn, but an undercover reporter inside the factory concluded that conditions aren't as bad as anyone expected - in fact, it's better than most other places. The problem, according to the inside reporter, is that young people come to work here hoping to eventually start their own business or go to college, but most never realise that dream.
The problem is that the press and bloggers have had a nasty tendency to focus on two aspects of this story: Apple, and the suicides themselves. The latter may sound weird, but I'll explain later on. Let's talk about Apple first, though, and what they have to do with this story.
A lot of media outlets and bloggers have a rather strange tendency to focus on Apple when it comes to the suicides at Foxconn. You'll often hear things like "suicides at iPhone factory", or "iPhone workers commit suicide", or something along those lines. People are trying to make it seem - for whatever reason - as if Apple is somehow involved, and as if Apple, and Apple alone, is responsible for the Foxconn factory.
This is absolute nonsense. Foxconn makes products and parts for a whole boatload of companies, and more likely than not, your house is filled with stuff manufactured by them - even if you don't own a single Apple product. Linking the suicides to Apple specifically is not only sensationalism, it's incredibly tasteless.
There's enough to criticise Apple for, but this certainly doesn't belong on that list. Please, stop linking the Foxconn problems to Apple specifically.
The second thing journalists and bloggers should stop doing is withholding vital information only to be able to make more sensationalist stories that appeal to our universal western sense of superiority. If you tell us rich and comfy westerners that in 2010, ten Foxconn workers have committed suicide, we'll get all concerned and angry at the company for mistreating their workers.
However, an important bit of information is often ignored, because this bit of information kind of takes all the sting out of this juicy story: the total amount of workers at Foxconn. This massive company has an even more massive amount of workers: 486000 employees (although AP states 300000, and The New York Times says 420000). That would be 3% of the Dutch population.
This number is so immense it will fly over most people's heads, but it's a very important figure, because if you compare the number of suicides among Foxconn's 486000 employees to the Chinese average, you'll see that Foxconn is still well below said average. In China, 14 out of 100000 people commit suicide every year. This means that to match China's average, 68 Foxconn employees would have to commit suicide every year.
By comparison, in The Netherlands we have a suicide rate of 10 per 100000. The US does 11 per 100000.
These are very basic statistics. Is it harsh to reduce people to statistics? Of course it is, but in this case, it's vital, because it illustrates that these figures simply aren't out of the ordinary. Of course, every life lost is one too many, but we have to keep both feet on the ground here and look at this objectively.
All this doesn't mean I approve of whatever's going on in China - all I want to illustrate is that the outrage we're seeing right now is misplaced. This story provides us rich westerners with an opportunity to soothe our own conscience by waving our collective moral stick at Foxconn - only so that after the waving we can go back to buying boatloads of products manufactured by people who most likely work and live under conditions far worse than the people at Foxconn.
These kinds of realisations are never pleasant; like how being against child labour is all well and fine from a principle standpoint - until you realise that a lot of families in this world (sadly) are dependant on their children working. If their children didn't bring money into the family, they'd starve. Harsh, but reality. If you had to choose between sending your children to work and having something to eat, or sending your children to a school that probably doesn't exist anyway and starve to death, what would you choose?
These are the kinds of moral dilemmas we'd rather not be confronted with. We demand ever lower prices, but then act all outraged and morally superior whenever we're confronted with the results of our demands.

'The Name high over all'
The Heart of Christ in Heaven Towards Sinners on Earth
Thomas Goodwin
- Thomas Goodwin (5 October 1600 - 23 February 1680), known as 'the Elder', was an English Puritan theologian and preacher, and an important leader of religious Independents. He served as chaplain to Oliver Cromwell, and was imposed by Parliament as President of Magdalen College, Oxford in 1650. View all resources by Thomas Goodwin
Out now from Banner of Truth - Thomas Goodwin's The Heart of Christ in Heaven Towards Sinners on Earth.
The Heart of Christ in Heaven Towards Sinners on Earth was first published in 1651, and it soon became Thomas Goodwins (1600-1680) most popular work. It is a fine example of his Christ-centredness and his mix of theological rigour and pastoral concern. In it he aims to show from Scripture that, in all his heavenly majesty, Christ is not now aloof from believers and unconcerned, but has the strongest affections for them. Goodwin begins with the beautiful assurances given by Christ to his disciples, taking as an example of that love Christs washing of his disciples feet (John 13). The heart of his argument, however, lies in his exposition of Hebrews 4:15, in which Goodwin shows that in all his glorious holiness in heaven, Christ is not sour towards his people; if anything, his capacious heart beats more strongly than ever with tender love for them. And in particular, two things stir his compassion: our afflictions and - almost unbelievably - our sins.
How we need Goodwin and his message today! If we are to be drawn from jaded, anxious thoughts of God and a love of sin, we need such a knowledge of Christ.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 23, 2009) - After opening the season winning 20 matches last weekend at the Duke Invitational, the ETSU men's tennis team will open its dual match season as they travel down I-81 to face in-state rival Tennessee with a 10 a.m., match Saturday at the Goodfriend Indoor Tennis Center in Knoxville, Tenn.
The 37th-ranked Bucs are coming off a strong performance in Durham, N.C., as ETSU won the majority of its match against No. 20 North Carolina, No. 39 Duke and Elon. Leading the way for the Bucs in doubles play was the ETSU duo of freshman Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillaume, France) and sophomore Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) who finished the three-day event in third place with eight points. In singles action Teraz also led the Bucs as he won all three of his singles contests finishing seventh.
Tennessee comes into the contest after winning the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Indoor Singles and Doubles Championships last weekend. The eighth-ranked Volunteers looked strong as sophomore John-Patrick Smith took the singles title, while Smith and teammate Davey Sandgren railed to win the doubles championships.
On the of the most anticipated matches of this weekend should be at the No. 1 singles position between Tennessee's Smith and ETSU senior Enrique Olivares (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela). The ninth-ranked Olivares and Smith have split both their matches between each other in the past. Olivares knocked off Smith at the prestigious D'Novo/ITA All-American this fall, while Smith got the better of the two All-Americans defeating Olivares in the NCAA Singles Championships last May.
Live scoring will be available through the Tennessee athletics website attached above. For more information on the ETSU men's tennis program please visit www.ETSUBUCS.com.

When Chronic Inflammation Prevents Success With Manual Care
By David Seaman, DC, MS, DABCN
Those of you who read my articles know chronic inflammation is a common theme. I am interested in this topic for a variety of reasons. While in chiropractic college, I was curious as to why some people responded to manipulation and why others did not.In our chiropractic principles classes, we were told that a reason for a lack of success was a "limitation of matter."
At NYCC, we did not use the "Green Books," so I did not look through Stephenson's textbook until I purchased it at the Sherman College bookstore in the 1990s. That was when I first saw the actual list of the 33 Principles of Chiropractic, including Principle #24 – The Limits of Adaptation, where the limitation of matter is described.
So, from the start of my chiropractic education I was curious as to what happens to matter that limits its ability to respond to an adjustment. I was not the only one who considered this issue. In 2009, I borrowed a book from a Palmer graduate and learned about the extensive rehabilitation center at the B.J. Palmer Clinic as early as the mid-1940s. Over the doorway to the exercise center read: "Founded for the restoration of Health to those for whom medical treatment or ordinary chiropractic adjustment and care have proved insufficient."
Clearly, B.J. recognized that a deconditioned patient, i.e., "deconditioned matter," may not respond to manipulation. It is not a surprise that many chiropractors have embraced spinal rehabilitation and reconditioning.
Chronic Inflammation as a Limitation of Matter
My interest has mostly been about the chemistry and neurology of the patient. In other words, I am interested in the "bio" part of biomechanics. That is, I was always curious about what goes wrong with the "bio" that leads to chronic pain and a patient who does not respond to manipulation or rehabilitation efforts.
It turns out the chronic inflammation appears to be a limiting "bio" factor. I discuss this topic in more detail in a recent paper published in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies.1 The focus of this paper is body mass index (BMI) and pain expression. It should be understood that BMI is just one marker of chronic inflammation; muscular people have an elevated BMI, but no health problems. However, BMI does function as a marker of inflammation and a risk factor for chronic pain when an elevated BMI is caused by excess body fat, especially when there is adiposopathy or "sick fat" syndrome.
In other words, when excess body fat is associated with chronic inflammation, known as adiposopathy, we should view this as a limitation of matter and a promoter of chronic pain.
There are multiple markers of inflammation that can easily be tracked by chiropractors without doing complicated laboratory tests. However, the lab tests that do act as markers of inflammation are very commonly requested. In other words, if you do not routinely run labs, you can request a copy of labs from your patient's medical doctor. Table 1 lists the various markers of inflammation.
Notice in table 1 that there are five metabolic syndrome markers, of which three must be present for a patient to be classified as having the metabolic syndrome. Approximately 25-40 percent of adults have the metabolic syndrome, which is a chronic pro-inflammatory state. These patients have elevated markers of inflammation circulating within their bodies throughout the day and night.
Table 1. Markers of chronic inflammation
Helping Patients Avoid the Inflammatory Diet
The prevailing view is that this chronic systemic inflammation becomes superimposed over areas dysfunction or injury, which prevents healing and leads to chronic pain. Thus, a patient may not adequately respond to manipulation and rehabilitation. My suggestion is to screen all of your patients for the metabolic syndrome and the other markers of chronic inflammation.
The treatment approach need not be complicated. In other words, un-limiting the limitation of matter is a straightforward process. In my opinion, anyone who is overweight is a "dietary crackhead," as discussed in a previous article. And even normal-weight individuals who want to eat sugar and flour, or have to stop themselves from eating too much, are also dietary crackheads.
See my recent article in DC about how to fight the dietary crackhead.2 It involves forcing ourselves to live mostly on lean protein, vegetables, fruit and nuts, which is an anti-inflammatory diet. For more details on the anti-inflammatory diet and anti-inflammatory nutritional supplements, see the May 2013 issue of ACA News.3

Sherman School students surprised Rep. Eileen Naughton.
On a recent visit to the school, Naughton, who is concerned about good nutrition and exercise and how they can impact learning, asked kids if they know what is in the food they eat.
It's then that she learned the students were reading the ingredients off of food packaging and even advising their parents on what foods to get.
"I was so impressed," Naughton said last Thursday at the State House. "I asked them how did you get so smart?"
She also discovered letters had been written to the Rhode Island Department of Education and the state Health Department about the nutrition value of school meals. As a result, Naughton said, the Department of Health sent personnel to investigate.
Having seen so much interest in health on the part of students and school nurse Donna Rainone, Naughton wasn't surprised to discover that student Angelina Antonizio, 11, was a winner in the Fuel Up to Play 60 program, which aims to improve the lifestyles of children and local communities.
Angelina won a national contest through the program and will serve as a Rhode Island ambassador at an all-expenses-paid national leadership conference in July. Each year, students involved in the Fuel Up to Play 60 program are chosen to become ambassadors and work with others from across the country in order to inspire their schools and communities to get healthy, get active and make a difference. The National Football League and the National Dairy Council sponsor the program and the ambassador contest.
On Friday Naughton honored Angelina and Rainone on the House floor. Naughton highlighted Rainone's role as a program adviser, which has enabled her to set up after-school activities like student yoga and organize food tastings with healthy snacks.
Rainone has applied for the grants through the program for the past three years. Through her collaboration with Fuel Up to Play 60, Sherman Elementary School has received $3,200 to date. Each grant application includes information about the school, specific details about student breakfasts, lunch, physical education and other activities. All grant money must be used to encourage healthy living. In the past, students at Sherman Elementary have received jump ropes, beach balls for volleyball, a limbo stick, Chinese jump ropes and yoga mats. The children have learned to do line dances of all kinds during outdoor recess and consumed healthy foods as part of taste testing. This year, the program was able to fund movement equipment for the music teacher and pedometers for the physical education teacher.
Rainone is also in charge of a student committee that works with her to plan healthy activities and set goals. Last year, Angelina was a committee member.
"This just goes to show that both adults and children can be inspiring when they work together," Naughton said. "I hope that they can serve as an example for other elementary schools across the state with their intense focus on the value of nutrition and exercise. If we engrain these values in our children at an early age, I have hope that we can help bring a new generation of healthy individuals into our society."

Justice Department Hanging Onto Torrent-Finder Because It Doesn't Like How Search Engines Work
from the well-that's-just-great dept
The status of torrent-finder is different than other domains: we're working with ICE to regain the domain by proposing methods torrent-finder can modify its search engine to ameliorate problems identified in the seizure. Broadly speaking, these are problems that IPR has identified with search engines in general. We're confident that this process will result in release of the domain name, and validation that torrent-finder.com's business is not based on infringement. In the meantime, my client's torrent-finder.com business has essentially been given the death penalty: over one year has passed with the domain offline, while the wheels of justice seem to grind more slowly than ever.Is this really what we want or what the law allows? For the government to completely shut down a search engine for over a year with no actual court process, while the search engine gets to "propose" different ways to build a search engine... while waiting (and waiting and waiting) for DOJ officials to get back to them on how search engines should work in their "expert" opinions?

Pace of NH e-court project slows, initial focus will be on small claims cases
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � A sweeping plan to modernize New Hampshire's court system has been slow to get off the ground due to limited funding.
In 2011, judicial officials announced a $5 million plan to transition to a paperless, electronic system for all courts. But the price tag has nearly doubled since then, and the Legislature declined to allocate more money this spring.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Linda Dalianis told the Concord Monitor (bit.ly/PLajjL) that for now, the e-court project will focus on small claims cases rather than the entire court system. She hopes that lawmakers will be more generous once they see that the changes produce good results and aren't wasting taxpayer dollars.

Friday, December 16, 2011 - XMas Wank Party 2011 Part 1
Christmas Wank Party 2011 features 5 of the hottest guys of the year. From Mirek Ceslar, as Father Christmas to the four cutest newcomers Jan Subrt, Honza Forst, Zaja Kolomaz and Jakub Nakuda everyone looks great. Fun is the name of the game in this first part of the scene, and the guys are ready for that, as they visit the celebrations in Prague Old Town Square. Jakub buys himself some hot mulled wine and meets up with some friends. He invites them back with him, where we find the sexiest Santa you could ever wish to meet. Daniel introduces his friends to Santa who is happy to see them and dispenses presents too all. In the spirit of the fun to come it seems that Santa has focussed on dildos and vibrators as his gifts this year. Santa decides that the fun should really start and choose Jan to start things off. Jan removes Santa's coat before Kaja joins in the has he shirt removed too. Kaja's belt is taken off and Jan uses it to spank his ass. Then Jan removes his shirt as well before Santa sits them back down. Jakub and Honza take their shirts off too, so all are now topless and are feeling each other. Then Kaja and Jan remove their pants and Honza stands to make room for Santa to sit. Honza and Santa start feeling Kaja as Jakub pays attention Jan before getting his pants off as well. Now the guys are really getting into it with Honza wanking Kaja and the other three feeling each other. Honza and Santa also get naked and now we can really get started as the guys wank and suck each other. Kaja sucks on Honza's big hard cock as Honza licks Santas balls, with Jakub and Jan kiss. Honza then sucks Mirek's(Santa) and Kaja's throbbing cocks as Jan works on Jakub. As he rims Jan's eager hole Mirek looks on and Honza works on Kaja's dick. Kaja is a really horny bottom and soon Honza has him on his back fingering his tight ass. Jan is still eating Jakub's ass while Jakub sucks on Mirek's big cock. Kaja's hole needs more than a finger and one of the new toys slips into his ass. Even that isn't enough Kaja wants the larger vibrator in there and Honza is happy to oblige. Meanwhile Mirek really wants to get into the action and he shoves his big, hard cock into Jakub's ass. Jakub loves to be fucked and wanks himself as that dick stretches his hole, and he sucks on Jan's cock too. He really cant get enough cock and very soon he cant hold back and shoots a big, creamy load over himself as Mirek pounds his ass. That is a trigger for everything to get even hotter, as Jan sits on Mirek's throbbing dick and Honza rams his own rampant cock deep into Kaja;s ass. This first part of the Christmas Wank Party 2011 really excels, with all the guys getting hotter by the minute. Be sure to look out for part two with, even more horny action.
Igor Putasky is from Brno and he is aged 24. He is a student of informatics. Igor enjoys computers and jogging. Igor is a very good looking guy, who is also very fit indeed. In his interview he demonstrates that he speaks very good English. Then he starts by rubbing his chest, through his shirt, as he sits on the pommel horse. Opening the shirt Igor continues to rub his chest, then his groin and ass. He then opens his jeans and slips his hand inside to feel his cock before both hands work on his chest some more. He removes his shirt completely and drops to the floor and pushes his jeans down, a little, revealing his cock and balls, and a very healthy bush. His hand takes hold of his cock and starts to wank it. As he wanks he continues feeling his body. Then laying down on the floor igor wanks that cock, getting it nice and hard for us. As he wanks a helpind hand arrives, dripping oil onto his body and starts to rub it in for him. The hand then takes over the wanking from Igor, with the other hand playing with his nipples. Then both hands work on the cock a little, before removing Igor's jeans and lifting his legs, to expose his ass hole. The hand rubs against the hole a little and then squirts some oil on his leg. Using the oil to lube it the hand slides a vibrator into Igor's ass. The vibrator slides in and out of the hole, as the hand grabs at Igor's cock as well. With the ass nicely prepared by the slim vibrator a larger one appears and is pushed into that tight hole. Igor grimaces slightly but takes it very well, as it fucks his ass. Then, after working that hole enough the hands wank Igor a little more, before leaving him to relax. Igor looks very good in this video and was a really good sport, taking the vibrator very well indeed.
Jirka Bilek is aged 20 and lives in Teplice. He is a motor mechanic who enjoys football, sports, and skating. Jirka ia a very good looking blond guy, with a nice, firm body. He looks great in this stills shoot, as he strips off and poses naked, with a cock that is hard as rock, and a really good size, with nice low hanging balls. Then we get to see a very sexy ass too. I love how he spreads his cheeks to show us his pucker hole. Jirka looks very good indeed. I am really looking forward to seeing his erotic video.

This is way over-priced - I got a similar 5000mAh one off amazon 6 months ago for less than 30 quid. Shop around!
This Juice Pack Powerstation Pro from Mophie is one of the highest capacity portable batteries on the market, perfect to charge your devices on the go.
It stores 6000 mAh, which is enough to charge most phones several times. My iPhone 4S has a battery capacity of 1420mAh, so it can charge it up to four times.
The Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation Pro is a big battery, about the size of two iPhones back to back, but it will still tuck neatly into a bag or even a jersey pocket.
I've charged my Garmin, my Kindle, iPods, iPhones and even my Niterider and Blackburn USB rechargeable lights with it.
Charging is simple - you plug a USB cable into the socket and connect your device, then press a button on the side of the battery. This shows the charge on the green status lights and starts charging your device. You do need to have the right cable with you to charge things, but you'd need those anyway.
The Powerstation Pro will output up to 2Amps in current, so if your devices can cope with the higher rate then charging is faster. The Powerstation Pro will also charge an iPad, but as these have very large capacity batteries it will only half fill the 11560mAh battery of the iPad 3, which is still quite impressive.
Initially I thought I would use this on longer rides like the Dunwich Dynamo and some century rides. It worked really well on the DD, topping up my front light and a friend's phones while we stopped and ate at the halfway.
However it has become a regular companion. I often charge devices straight from the battery rather than using a wall socket. Charging the battery does take a long time; I usually left it overnight, but 3-4 hours would charge it.
It's well protected, surrounded in a rubber bumper. A 2mm allen key keeps the casing bolts tight. It has two flaps for USB ports, which press into place and account for the IP65 rating the Powerstation Pro has for water and dust ingress. Mophie say you can splash water on it, but not dunk it in water. So it should be good for touring, camping, or even mountain biking with. It'll not mind a bit of mud and dirt.
I really liked this product for its huge capacity - and it is fairly light too. It's easy to use and reliable for anyone on the go.
Easy to use, reliable portable battery with a huge capacity.

The collapse of three of India's five electricity grids on Tuesday left more than half the country's 1.2 billion population without power.
It was the second day of blackouts, following the failure of the power grid across northern Indiathat left more than 300 million people without electricity Monday. The government blamed a spike in power demand that tripped an already stretched transmission system.
The two blackouts left commuters stranded on roads and train lines and forced hospitals to turn to generators to keep operations going. The size of the outages were stunning even for Indians, who are long used to power blackouts. By Wednesday, most of the power had been restored,but according to analysts the outage could impact growth and the country's credit rating.

The Lafourche Parish Council is considering whether later bar-closing hours on the weekend would provide an economic boost or a law enforcement problem.
The Lafourche Parish Council is considering whether later bar-closing hours on the weekend would provide an economic boost or a law-enforcement problem.
The council is scheduled to decide Jan. 22 whether to give Lafourche bars the option of staying open until 3 a.m. Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Bars would still have to close at 2 a.m. Monday through Friday mornings — the same time required throughout the week now.
The change would not apply to bars in the incorporated areas of the parish. Thibodaux, Lockport and Golden Meadow have their own regulations.
"Bars right now are in terrible shape because of the down economy," said Councilman John Arnold, who introduced the proposed change. "This would help them out."
Arnold owns Club Illusions on La. 1 near Lafourche Crossing. The club was formerly known as the G-Spot strip club. Arnold said it is closed and will reopen as a night club.
"That extra hour is going to help out each bar owner," Arnold said. "Consider there are 20 to 25 bars in the parish. ... They each have about five to 10 employees. They will benefit."
Arnold also argued the parish would benefit from extra tax collection and increased video poker royalties.
But not everybody is convinced.
"I don't know about it," said Councilman Daniel Lorraine. "I'm going to listen to the public and see what they want."
Lafourche Sheriff Craig Webre said he is opposes the change.
"The existing law has functioned well for the 30 or so years it has been in place," Webre said. "To expand it further will create safety issues. Particularly with impaired drivers and such."
Webre also said there will be a greater likelihood of alcohol fueling other crimes such as domestic violence.
There are no plans to change Thibodaux's 2 a.m. bar-closing ordinance if the parish passes the change, said Ryan Perque, executive assistant to the Mayor Tommy Eschete.
"You would have another problem if the people in Golden Meadow and such leave (at 2 a.m.) and then drive somewhere in the parish for an extra hour of consumption before driving back to their home," Webre said.
Arnold said he will ask the change be made for a six-month trial period. If anything goes wrong in that time, the law will revert back to a 2 a.m. closing requirement.
"The idea of the trial period opens itself to the possibility for irreversible harm," Webre said.
Not all bar owners support the idea.
"First of all, I don't need no regulations," said Bobby Beck Grabert, owner of Beck's on La. 1 in Raceland. "I have enough government regulations. If they are asking me for my vote, I don't see if the extra hour is going to make or break me."
Grabert has owned his establishment for 23 years and said he wouldn't change the hours if the ordinance allowed.
"If you have a bar with 200 people, it would help," Grabert said. "But with my size establishment and my patrons, it isn't going to do much."
