Courtesy of the Chronicle comes an article about the latest efforts to protect women from a Sheriff that believes with a straight face that he can believably lead programs to protect and prevent domestic violence.
The website is sfwomenforaccountability.com, and my only criticism is that the site is aimed primarily at women voters. As though domestic violence is only a women's issue. Because it isn't. Domestic violence is a crime against society, and while its victims tend to be disproportionately women and children, we all pay for the damage caused by domestic violence.

The website features two youtube videos, I've included one of them below:
The website sfwomenforaccountability.com is run by an independent expenditure committee, which means it is not being financed or funded in coordination with any other campaign. The idea for the website came from Andrea Shorter and Joyce Newstat, and the primary donations so far have come from Gayle Conway and Linda Voight (per the chronicle article I liked to at the start of the story.
Given that we are seven days away from the election, it will be interesting to see if the website draws any attention to the D5 race, which seems to be the most bizarre race for Supervisor in the city this year. We've got Christina Olague, taking a "principled stand" for her own political interests at the expense of the victims of domestic violence. We've got Julian Davis, the progressive who was going to win it all, who apparently likes to get his party on and never quite managed to learn how to keep his hands to himself. And we've got London Breed and the very strange YouTube video that was made on her behalf by SFAR (another independent expenditure, not made in coordination or approval with the candidate).
I haven't seen any D5 polling lately, does anyone know the state of the race? I've been too busy reading hate mail that goes out of its way to suggest that Ross Mirkarimi's wife is an actress. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, read between the lines on that one! Oh yea, and the Inner Sunset resident who called to "warn me" about writing any other negative things about Christina Olague. I can't make this stuff up…

Ok Rooz, I'm up to speed now. Though it was odd.
RF flash is not top of my list either.

Having given the matter serious consideration, I'm sticking with the a99.
Interesting to see that the A99 is going with a standard hot shoe, rather than the old Minolta/Sony proprietary shoe.

What's next???
From discussions elsewhere it seems likely the new "Old" Hot Shoe is mainy to convenience Video users and to leverage Video accessories. Sony has introduced many additional contacts into the new shoe which probably wouldn't have been possible with the old shoe. It makes little difference otherwise, it's still a proprietary shoe just like everyone else.
From an AP interview with Toru Katsumoto and Tetsuya Numata....
"Q. You decided to stick with a resolution of 24-million-pixels, is this now enough for users?
A. We think the balance between the pixel count and the sensitivities, plus the speed of reading from the image sensor is very important, especially for movies. So, with the technology we have in 2012, this sensor has the best balance of resolution, sensitivity and video functionality. If we had gone up to 36 million pixels we couldn't do 60p video or produce the same sensitivity levels. When the technology improves we can increase the pixels."
Is that Nikon's take with the D800 (36MP sensor, that SONY built for them)?
I sense some serious "jerkin' around" going on, here.

Look, I did not create the optical laws of the Universe ... I simply learned to deal with them.
Remember: It is usually the GLASS, not the camera (except for moving to Full Frame), that gives you the most improvement in your photography.

Well, I guess it is Nikon's take as they are not doing HD Video at 60p.
I have to say, I do not care whether or not 60p HD movies exist at all from my SLR. There is always a technical push forward and this chip will be dead in less than four years, just like all the others. Welcome to the world of the moving target.
Wisdom says: do not get too comfortable with the current resolutions.
Me neither, never used it and neither do I use all those creative modes or JPEG modes like panorama.
Still, there are users who do and you can't bury your head in the sand.
A DSLR without video or live view would not sell in any great quantity in todays market.
If you have no need of a particular feature, don't use it, the choice is yours.
In a nutshell...correct on all fronts.

A new study suggests that team training of healthcare staffers can cut patient mortality and also reduce medical errors. The study, which was conducted by multiple universities and two federal agencies, also found that such training improved staff members' learning skills and use of such skills, as well as boosting financial outcomes, clinical performance and patient satisfaction.
Participants in the research program included Rice University, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the University of Central Florida, the U.S. Department of Defense and the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. The researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 129 prior studies, which looked at programs designed to improve team-based knowledge, skills, attitudes and problem-solving interactions, as well as developing coordination, cooperation, communication and leadership skills.
To conduct their analysis, researchers looked at the impact of team training programs among 23,018 participants. The studies being analyzed looked at how team training affected quality of care, customer service, patient satisfaction and other relevant variables. Participants in the team trainings included clinicians, allied health staffers, support staffers and healthcare students. The trainings were conducted at facilities ranging from small clinics to large hospitals in the U.S. and abroad.
Researchers found that team training can reduce patient mortality by 15%, and reduce medical errors by 19%. The training program also boosted employees' learning of new skills by 31% and on-the-job use of such skills by 25%. In addition, the training improved financial outcomes of healthcare organizations by 15%. And team training was associated with a 34% improvement in clinical performance and 15% growth in patient satisfaction, researchers said.
While this study didn't address health IT teams, it's easy to see how such cross-disciplinary efforts might help IT staffers succeed.
As Rick Krohn of HealthDataManagement aptly puts it, health IT teams often cope with "a spaghetti bowl of boutique applications, systems and external linkages," which creates major stresses and leaves little time for outreach. In other words, as things stand, keeping rank and file HIT staffers from burning out is a challenge – and keeping them aware of end user needs is a daunting task.
But if health IT managers have at least sporadic team meetings with outside departments that depend on them – including clinical, financial and operational units – a big uptick in learning, sharing and coordination may be possible. As the study underscores, people have to be taught how to work with their partners in the organization, no matter how professional everyone is. Fostering a cooperative exchange between health IT front-liners and users can make that happen.


text: WARNING: Some of these answers may offend you. I have a sense of humor. Sorry. 246 info: Q: What version of android do I need to be on to upgrade to the 246 OTA? A: Any. Use the 246 FXZ. Q: I'm an idiot and don't understand version numbers. How many versions of 246 are there and how do I know which one is the OTA? A: 246 Q: Where can I find the full 246 FXZ? A: 246 FXZ Q: Wait I don't see the 246 update. Don't I need that? A: No. The only thing people need at this time are the hob installer, fxz, rsd, and maybe the webtop installer if they are pre-246. If you have the 246 update you can delete it both from the hob and from your sdcard-ext. The fxz does not get copied to the phone.... It's not an update. It's the full set of partitions and gets flashed from ap fastboot mode using either rsd or fastboot. There is no need to go to recovery after using the fxz. The only difference between the keep data and full fxz options is whether the user data partition is erased or not. Those already on 246 need not do anything regardless of how you installed it. Q: I installed the webtop installer when I first went to 246. Now it flashes it every time I reflash 246. Does it need to? A: If you are on 246 and need to re flash for any reason, and you happen to have installed the vendor.img (webtop), you should rename it or remove it in the 246_FXZ directory. This will save you a lot of time as flashing webtop is only needed once and will not ever be needed again. Q: What is the difference between the full 246 FXZ and the FXZ installer from the House of Bionic? A: The House of Bionic version of the FXZ doesn't contain the webtop vendor.img by default. It also doesn't have the emc storage img for the internal sdcard. Q: I've finished the upgrade and now it's scanning my media files. How long does THAT take?? A: Ummm, how many you got? I can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 10+ hours. BEFORE doing the upgrade, if you have a lot of media, you may wish to move them temporarily til the upgrade is finished. House of Bionic info: Q: I want to go to a new build on the Bionic. What's the quickest and easiest way? A: Read this fully: SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic Q: Where can I find the latest update for my Bionic? A: Read this fully: SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic Q: I used the House of Bionic and now am getting a black screen with vibrations. What do I do now? A: Update to HoB 9.2 or later, install the WEBTOP installer, and run the FXZ KEEP DATA option Q: Do I need to FXZ before using an INSTALL XYZ option (e.g. to install a new leak)? A: Oh hell no. Just follow all the steps on the INSTALL menu and you'll be good to go. Q: Do I need to unfreeze my apps, remove bootstrap recovery, remove forever root, or basically clean my system up before installing? A: Not usually. If you've REALLY messed with your phone it may refuse to boot even after this process, in which case you need a factory reset. However in most cases, you do not need to do anything special before running the HoB install process. Q: Will installing a leak result in me losing data? A: No. A leak is just an update that hasn't been released yet. If you install it on top of the OTA build, you won't lose data. If you install it using the House of Bionic, you shouldn't lose data, either, as that was the original point of the HoB. If you have to factory reset for any reason, or FXZ FULL, then yes, you will lose your data. That is the reason for the warning to backup your data first....just in case. Q: Can I use the HoB to go from, let's say 247 to 246? A: Yes. As long as the security matches, you can move between builds including going down. Use the INSTALL XXX option for the build you wish to install. Q: What is the REINSTALL option for in the HoB? A: To reinstall the build you're on. It can also recover from a brick scenario for those on 235+. The update MUST be on your SDCARD-EXT, but, if it is, you can use the REINSTALL option to fix a broken install. Q: I'm on linux or Mac, don't have access to Windows, what can I do? A: Please use the Linux/Mac House of Bionic. Details are in the HoB thread. Q: I tried to install and got a flash error. Now what? A: Use the 246 FXZ KEEP DATA option If this fails, toggle the flashing method on the main menu and try again. Q: The House of Bionic sounds interesting, but, I'm afraid I'll mess something up. Is there a kind of 'demo mode' where I can see how it works? A: Yes, but, it's a little convoluted due to recent changes to the script. Follow these directions for demo mode: o) Set flash mode to RSD o) Keep the phone UNPLUGGED o) Say N to the transfer, check md5, and ap fastboot reboot steps (cause you don't have your phone connected and it would lock until it finds it) o) You can safely say Y to the flash step to see what it looks like o) Pretend you did what the apply update page tells you and follow what it tells you to say at the bottom of the screen. o) Say N to the root step This will give you a pretty good idea of the process for the House of Bionic. Plug your phone in, and do it for real. General Bionic info: Q: What is the difference between an FXZ and an update? A: An FXZ is the COMPLETE set of FULL partition images. It can be used to update any phone to that version so long as the security of the FXZ is the same or higher than what's on the phone. An update is installed in recovery and applies ONLY to a SPECIFIC version of the phone. And only if it's stock. The FXZ is *ALWAYS* better. Q: When a new soak build comes out, it's safe to install "for the rest of us"....right? A: Are you part of the soak test? If not, then no. A soak test does NOT guarantee that an update goes OTA. See 901 and 904 as examples. You don't remember those releases? Yea, that's the point. A soak test means that an update is being tested....hence why it's a soak TEST not a soak OTA. It's PROBABLY going to be the OTA release, but, it's not guaranteed. Those who said they were waiting for the OTA for whatever reason should continue to do so even once word of a soak test happens. Q: You talk about a "factory cable" a lot. Isn't that what I got with my phone? A: No. You got an OEM cable with your phone. However, Team Black Hat makes both factory cables and adapters to turn an OEM cable into a factory cable. Q: Ok, so, what's the difference between a factory cable and an OEM cable then? A: An OEM cable is just a USB mini cable. It allows you to do all the things we require for the HoB so long as you have a charged battery. A factory cable or adapter, otoh, has no battery requirement at all. Yes, you can even flash without a battery in the phone. Nice, eh? Q: Hell yea! How do I get one of these factory cables? A: You could get a cheap arse cable from eBay. I'd prefer that this community support Team Black Hat, however. Please order them from here: Team Black Hat store. I own both a factory cable and 2 factory adapters. I HIGHLY recommend a couple of the adapters to throw in your bag. It'll turn your OEM cable into a factory cable and you won't ever have to worry about battery issues again. Q: How do I boot into stock recovery? A: Power your phone off. Hold volume up and down and hit power. Volume down to recovery, volume up to select. When the android graphic comes up, hit volume up and down to get to the recovery menu Q: How do I boot into AP Fastboot mode? A: Power your phone off. Hold volume down and hit power. Q: How do I "wipe the cache"? A: Boot into stock recovery. Choose the wipe cache option. Reboot when finished. Q: How do I do a "factory data reset" (FDR)? A: Boot into stock recovery. Choose the factory reset option. Reboot when finished. WARNING: This wipes your phone to a factory state (i.e. all apps and data are erased!) Q: When I do a factory reset, I'm still on same build I was on before. Why didn't it work? A: Well, you had incorrect expectations about what happens in a factory reset, apparently. It does nothing more than wipe the data partition and doesn't touch any other partitions at all. Q: When I do a factory reset, it didn't remove root. Why didn't it work? A: Well, you had incorrect expectations about what happens in a factory reset, apparently. It doesn't touch the system partition and therefore does not remove root. Q: How can I quickly unroot my phone? A: Install SuperSU from the market, and use the remove root function. Q: Why doesn't ADB like my phone? (Daemon started, doing nothing else, "Looking for your phone...if this hangs, it's not finding your phone") A: Check the following...ESPECIALLY after you just installed an update as things CAN get reset: -Are you on USB 3.0? -Do you have the latest Moto driver installed? -Did you boot into AP Fastboot and allow Windows to install the ADB driver? -Is the phone set to charge only or MTP mode? -Is USB Debugging enabled? -With the phone plugged in, try unchecking USB Debugging mode, wait a few seconds, then re-enable USB Debugging -Are you using the original cable that came with your phone? -Have you rebooted your phone and/or PC lately? -Try unplugging the phone from USB for a few seconds and plugging it back in -Try a different USB port - If you are using a factory cable (see above) to try to root, you may run into this problem. Factory cables are generally for dealing with AP Fastboot mode and should not replace a "normal OEM cable" when doing things like transferring updates/rooting/etc. They can and should be used if you have one to flash in AP Fastboot, however. That's what makes the adapters so awesome. If none of that fixes it, chances are it's time to do a factory reset which will in fact erase the contents of your phone and reset you to a factory state. I like answering questions with more questions. Q: RSD can't see my phone. Help? A: Make sure you're using RSD Lite 5.7 (included in the HoB) and try this: o) Uninstall the existing driver o) Reboot the PC o) Install the new driver o) Reboot the PC o) Connect the phone as charge only or MTP mode and allow windows to find the driver o) Reboot the phone into AP Fastboot mode and allow windows to find the driver o) Reboot both the PC and the phone o) You can try to run RSD Lite as admin and see if that helps Q: How can I check the "security" of a new update? A: Excellent question. Gold star for asking! In the HoB, I include Skrilax_CZ's CDTParser.exe. To use it, extract the cdt.bin of the update you want to install. Now open the CDTParser.exe and use it to open the cdt.bin you just extracted. Compare it to the cdt.bin from the FXZ. If they are different, the security has changed. Q: The security is higher than the FXZ. Should I install the update? A: Oh HELLLLLL no! Not unless you want to be stuck there! You should wait for confirmation and to see what's happening with the update before you blindly install it. Q: What apps do you have disabled, Mr Samuri? A: Hey, glad you asked! Here's my current list: Apps City ID CQATest MOG Music MOTOACTV MotoCast ID MotoPrint Music Store My Accounts My Music Print to Retail Slacker Radio Slingbox Social Location Superuser (Yes, I use SuperSU so I disable Superuser.apk) Text Messaging (I use handcent) V CAST Tones Verizon Login Verizon Video Voicemail (I use google voice) VZ Navigator Q: Well, that's nice. But don't I need to be rooted to disable those? A: Why no! You just go into settings, apps, all apps, select the app, if there's an "uninstall updates" option, do so, then go back in and select disable. How awesome is that? Oh right, that question in the answer thing again. Q: I'm having a TON of stability issues (FC's, random rebooting, general mayhem) after moving to ICS. Is there anything I can try? A: Some phones with ICS are now clocked at 1.2GHz. This has been causing some problems for people. If you are having stability issues, and you've tried a factory reset without success, you might want to look into using SetCPU or Rom Toolbox Pro to drop the CPU speed to 1.0Ghz and see if that helps. Q: How do I disable 4G? It's grayed out in the menu! A: Try this: *#*#4636#*#* from the dialer Q: How do I check the MD5 hash in windows? A: File Hash Utils: MD5 Utility for Windows: WinMD5 Free - Windows MD5 Utility Freeware Hashtab MD5 Utility for Windows: HashTab tool to quickly find file hash information

Bad breath is one of the few things that can haunt you and ruin your day no matter who you are, what age you are or where you come from . Although bad breath varies in degrees of badness from person to person it is always horrible no matter what. There really isn't a bigger turn off for me than talking to someone and getting a whiff of breath that knocks you off your feet. I won't even kiss my sweet husband if he has rank breath. It's one of my biggest pet…Continue

New research published June 6 by researchers from CERN has brought scientists a step closer to understanding where all the antimatter has gone. This matter-antimatter asymmetry is one of the greatest challenges in physics, and at this moment in time, the universe seems to be composed entirely of matter — the only antimatter around is created by researchers at places like CERN. Yet theories predict that exactly equal amounts of matter and antimatter would have been created in the Big Bang. So where did all the antimatter go?
This new research, undertaken by the ALPHA experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator (AD) in Geneva, is the first time that the electric charge of an anti-atom has been measured to high precision. Measuring the electric charge of antihydrogen atoms is a way to study any subtle differences between matter and antimatter that could account for the lack of antimatter in the universe.
The ALPHA experiment reports a measurement of the electric charge of antihydrogen atoms, finding it to be compatible with zero to eight decimal places. This is the first time that the charge of an anti-atom has been measured to high precision and confirms scientists' expectation that the charges of its constituents, the positron and antiproton, are equal and opposite.

Three rescued from Westerly blaze
Westerly — The cause of a fire that damaged a downtown building at 35-37 High St. early Monday morning remains under investigation.
Westerly Fire Chief John A. Mackay said three people had to be rescued from the three-story building in the downtown area. He said the building housed 16 apartments and three businesses, including Northeast Family Martial Arts, Brickhouse Cardio Club and Precision Fitness.
Mackay said ground ladders were used to rescue the three occupants because they could not safely get out of the building.
The fire, which was reported at midnight Sunday, was confined to the rear outside staircase, he said, and the damage was contained to two rear decks and four apartments. There was water and smoke damage throughout.
"The sprinklers were working, and if it weren't for them there would have been more damage," he said.
Mackay said the building official was going to inspect the building and determine if the occupants could return. He said it was unclear on Monday how many tenants lived in the building. The American Red Cross said they assisted 10 adults in nine families with clothing and food. Two adults needed lodging.
Mackay said two people were taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. No firefighters were injured.
The state fire marshal was also called to investigate the cause of the fire, he said.
On their Facebook pages, Precision Fitness and Brickhouse Cardio Club announced they would be closed Monday because of the water damage.
In addition to the Westerly department, the Pawcatuck, Stonington Borough, Wequetequock and Ashaway fire departments also responded.
Police said a Stonington police officer arrived first and attempted to enter the building with a fire extinguisher to help rescue people. The officer was examined by medical personnel as a precaution.
Land records show that the building is owned by Egidio Luzzi, whose family owns runs Northeast Family Martial Arts.

Hello again ladies,
I posted last week about issues with vasospasms and thrush, which I am still battling through. Now I'm worried we have a new hurdle to overcome. My son will be 6 weeks on Sunday and I worry my left breast is suddenly not producing. It has always been the over-achiever so this is worrisome to me. OALD, lots of leaking throughout the day, etc. so I have never been worried about having enough milk.
He feeds off of one side at a time and has never had any issues with this. He usually gets what he needs and is happy and content without having to eat from the other. I started noticing the past day or two though a change. Suddenly the left is barely leaking, it feels soft, flat, and empty all the time. In the meantime, the right is getting heavier and more engorged, which has never been a problem. It's like all my milk is only going to the right side.
Feedings have changed as well. He is feeding a lot shorter on the left, while getting longer on the right. I do hear the letdown right away and hear him swallowing so I know he's getting something. But at times after feeding on the left, he is fussy and wants to eat again an hour later. So far, his pee diapers haven't changed, but we have noticed he isn't pooping as much as before. Although he pooped as much as he peed, so decreasing a few of those still puts him above the normal range.
Am I worrying for nothing or does this sound like a problem? How do I go about fixing this so milk is being produced more evenly between the right and left?
Also, as a side question, do you have any tips or tricks for latching in the side lying position? We bedshare and I have been trying to do this position for over a week, but feel like I struggle to get a good latch this way, mainly because I don't have control. I hold my breast, my husband holds his head, and we do our best to work together, but it is hit or miss. Any tips on how to latch on in this position?
Thanks in advance. I really appreciate all the advice

Joe Strummer memorial benefit show for Strummerville: Brixton Windmill, 22nd Dec
Saturday 22nd December
Brixton Windmill
The Windmill, 22 Blenheim Gardens, Brixton SW2
A celebration of Uncle Joe Strummer - in memoriam...and a Xmas bash to boot.
4 great bands who have been inspired by and are indebted to Joe and The Clash, doing their bit in keeping his memory alive and raising some much needed dosh for Strummerville.
All bands are doing at least one Clash cover and our DJ's for the night will be playing a selection of vinyl that has got a little bit of Joe's DNA within. It's gonna' be a Saturday night like they used to make 'em
The Ten o Sevens
"This the real deal, proper punk rock'n'roll! These four boys combine elements of early punk rock with the sound and attitude of the most obnoxious of garage punk bands.The songs are fast, loud, nasty, snotty, catchy and sweaty simple chord tight style tunes that will stick to your head like cheap superglue!"- Dirty Water
Currently in the process of recording their long awaited debut LP, so keep your ears open...
The Lone Groover
Named after the anti-hero of a comic strip that graced the weekly music inkies of the1970s…….. THE LONE GROOVER is a one man and guitar outfit who channels his love of folk, punk and Americana into classic songs of beauty, protest and passion – agit-FOLK 'N' BOP if you will - Songs that betray a fine eye for detail, a healthy respect for tradition, and a working knowledge of REAL LIFE!!! Always putting he(art) and soul into his performances, armed with his trusty Gibson, fuelled with good vibes, talkin' jive and sporting sharp clobber, TLG is a definite "one to watch". The London based songwriter has spent recent months folk 'n' bopping his way across the capital and had support slots with Willy Mason, Alabama 3, Glenn Tilbrook and Beans on Toast amongst others......but let's leave the last words to 'el Groover himself……… "let's be clear…..I'm not a solo artist, I'm a one man group…..there's a subtle difference….I wanna walk like The Clash and sound like Bob Dylan". Folk music for City dwellers!
White Ape
"Sordid tales for troubled times: White Ape mix psychedaelic surf-a-billy rumble, Strummer-inspired garage-band ska, glam-rock hooligan chanting, Fall-like wordplay and even some mangled sea-shanties. Satorially sharp and and crackling with nervous energy, these boys will make your Christmas come early!
"Deranged twisted psych punk.... sounds like a bunch of tanked-up tarantulas dressed in dinner jackets tip-toeing down a dark alleyway. Welcome to the cult world of white ape..." - FEED YOUR HEAD
"Joe Strummer taught me that being magnificent is more important than being perfect and I'm damn pleased he did. I hope we can do him proud on 22nd!" Tommy Ape
Billy Prince Brown
"Music has saved many lives and certainly did save mine! I'm very proud to join the Windmill line up, to celebrate Joe's birthday and push forward the Strummerville concept! Not enough people know about it and its time to change it!" BPB
DJ's - Tolly & Superbreaker - Clash cuts, Strummer slabs, Mescalero madness, Vinyl vandalism.....all the platters will have a link to Joe....that's a pretty broad church!!
Clash/Strummer footage/pics etc will be the backdrop to the evening.

Avi Issacharov and Reuters – August 8, 2012
A Russian general met reporters at the Defense Ministry in Moscow on Wednesday to deny reports that he had been killed by rebel forces in Syria and was shown on television looking well.
"I want to confirm that I am alive and well. I am in good health and I'm living in Moscow," Vladimir Petrovich Kuzheyev, a reserve general, was quoted as saying by Itar-Tass news agency.
Russian television briefly showed footage of Kuzheyev, in a blue shirt and no tie, at the Defence Ministry.
Syrian rebel group said it had killed a Russian general working as an adviser to Syria's defence ministry in an operation in the western Ghouta region on the outskirts of the capital Damascus.
The video, sent to Reuters, showed what the rebels said was a copy of the general's ID, as issued by the Syrian military, and named him as Vladimir Petrovich Kochyev.
The difference between that spelling and the name of the general who appeared in Moscow may be due to the way the Cyrillic letters were transcribed.
Kuzheyev did not make clear whether he had been in Syria. But Interfax news agency quoted a security source as saying he had been there advising the Syrian Defence Ministry before being transferred to the reserves in 2010. It said he now lived in Moscow.
Russian news agencies quoted the Russian Defence Ministry as saying the report of his death was a "bald-faced lie."
Russia is one of the few countries that has backed Assad diplomatically ever since the popular uprising against his rule began 17 months ago. It is believed to have several hundred military personnel in Syria.
The Free Syrian Army's claim was published in a report on Al Arabiya on Wednesday, claims that Kuzheyev was serving as a security adviser to the Syrian defense minister, who was also killed in Damascus roughly a month ago. Kojai's personal translator was also killed.
The Syrian rebels also stated that they obtained documents and maps belonging to the Syrian Army, which show opposition positions throughout the country. The rebels said Kuzheyev was killed outside of Damascus, when according to reports, his bodyguards attempted to open fire on a Free Syrian Army roadblock. The rebels told "Al-Arabiya" that the Russian adviser's presence in Syria is further evidence of Russian involvement in the Syrian crisis.
In a video statement sent to Reuters, the group, calling itself the "Hawks Special Operations Battalion, a division of the Military Leadership of Damascus City and Province", showed what the rebels said was a copy of the general's ID, as issued by the Syrian military.
Many thousands of Russian professionals reside in Syria, some of which work on civil projects that Russia built for Assad, others serve as advisers to the Syrian military with operating sensitive intelligence equipment. Last month, the head of the Arabic-language television network "Russia Today," broadcast in Moscow, claimed that "there are no longer any Russian military personnel in Syria."
The network is an official outlet of the Russian government (a parallel network is broadcast in English). Apparently, that claim is incorrect, though it demonstrates the need to begin recalling Russian proessionals from Syria, because of the danger, and also because of the need to reduce ties with Assad.
Pressure is mounting on Russia from Arab nations to stop supporting the regime in Damascus. Over the weekend, Russian news agencies reported that Russia sent three large naval vessels to Tartarus, a port in northern Syria, each carrying 120 soldiers. The objective of the mission was not stated, though Russia had previously stated its intention to send forces to Syria to retrieve equipment and evacuate Russian nationals. Over the last few months, numerous ships have set sail for Tartarus, among them aircraft carries and battleships.
On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that plans can be drawn up for the day after the Assad regime collapses, following the defection of Syrian Prime Minister Riad Hijab to Jordan earlier this week.
Clinton said it was vital that government institutions remain intact in Syria, and that a civil war should be avoided. Anyone who wants to exploit the Syrian people's difficult situation by sending in mercenaries or terrorists should be warned that this is not acceptable, she said.
Also on Tuesday, Assad appeared on television for the first time in two weeks, in footage showing him meeting with Saeed Jalili, the head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, in Damascus.

Powerline products allow you to share your home's web connection with any room in the house — even the ones without an Ethernet jack or WiFi support. These types of products can turn any outlet into a networking option. However, Netgear wants to maximize that power station, with its new Powerline Music Extender.
The newly announced Powerline Music Extender (XAUB2511) actually creates an Internet connection anywhere there is an outlet. It also throws in the option to play music via that same outlet.
Now, don't expect music to be coming out of the wall plate. You're going to need to hook up some type of speaker. However, it can be any type of speaker, including something like a boombox. Once everything is set up, the XAUB2511 allows users to stream music from an iOS- or Android-supported smartphone or tablet, as well as Windows PCs. (Mac users will need to use the Airplay function.)
Besides putting your old speakers to use, Netgear's little gadget can connect smart TVs, HD set-top boxes, gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, networked DVRs, PCs and pretty much any other Ethernet-based devices, via an Ethernet port. It can also connect your PC to remote USB devices, such as a USB printer or a hard drive.
Of course, it also leaves the option for you to plug something in. The XAUB2511 includes a "pass-through" power outlet, so you don't have to give up those power options in your room.
"Consumers want to remotely control and play their music anywhere in the home without being confined by distance or device," said Fred Guiot, senior product line manager of consumer products at Netgear. "By enabling users to connect and use existing speakers, Netgear Powerline Music Extender facilitates the 'play music anywhere' lifestyle we have come to expect. The Extender also turns any power outlet into a high-speed Internet connection, and can be used as a network connection for USB printers and USB hard drives on the home network with minimal setup."
Netgear will start selling the Powerline Music Extender in October 2012. Expect the starter kit to be priced at $139. If you already have one of Netgear's power products at home, you can opt for a single pack XAU2511 for $99.

Alianzo glossary
Useful definitions to understand the concepts we use. Alianzo counts with three measuring systems.:
1- Alianzo Score
Alianzo Score is a value between 0 and 100 which is the result of the measurement parameters used by Alianzo in each of the profiles. These parameters try to measure the engagement and the activity of each social network.
Alianzo score is calculated for each type of social media and for each type of profile.
In addition, the Global Alianzo Score is calculated and displayed in the Alianzo Rank section. This score is calculated by adding the score given to each of the social networks weighted by the importance attached by Alianzo to each social network.View more
2- Alianzo Stars
Alianzo Stars is the assessment done from Alianzo for every profile. It takes into account its score on Alianzo Score 2.0. It is calculated as follows:
- Five yellow stars grade the highest score possible, which is 100. This profile will be the number one of its ranking.
- Five green stars grade the profiles that score between 80 and 99.
- Four green stars grade those profiles that score between 60 and 79.
- Three green stars grade those profiles that score between 40 and 59.
- Two green stars encompass those profiles that score between 20 and 39.
- One green star is used for those profiles with a score between 0 and 19.
3- Alianzo Rank
In Alianzo, rankings are conformed by profiles sorted according to their score in Alianzo 2.0, sorted from highest to lowest. These profiles are calculated for social network and kind of profile.View more

Recall 12V126000
The Positive Battery Cable Connection in the Trunk Can Overheat
Recall Details
The insulated connector for the positive battery cable may have been incorrectly attached to the trunk floor panel, which can lead to a loosening of the bolt connection. Loosening of the connection can cause an increase in electrical resistance and overheating of the cable connection, which could lead to a fire, even when the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will secure the battery bolt cable connection as necessary to correct this concern.
Our Quick Take
The bolt securing the insulated battery cable connector at the trunk floor panel can loosen, causing increased electrical resistance and overheating of the cable connection.
What Should You Do?
BMW will notify owners of affected vehicles beginning in April of 2012. If you are experiencing problems with the trunk mounted battery cable connections, or you don't receive notification and you feel you should have, please contact your dealer. It's helpful to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call.

What started out as a "device for discreet semen collection" patented by designer Steve Shubin in 1998 just keeps growing in popularity and influence. The Fleshlight, the revolutionary male sex toy treasured by horny guys the world over, recently announced that it intended to move beyond simple novelty manufacturing and into live content production by partnering with acclaimed streaming website Live Gonzo. This partnership, along with a few new high-profile Fleshlight Girls and the launch of a Pirates line of pocket pussies developed with Digital Playground, proves that Fleshlight is not a company willing to sit idly by and watch its customers become bored with the same old product. With limited edition plastic cases "forged in honey and gold" available for the Stoya, Riley Steele, and Jesse Jane models (all are stars of DP's Pirates feature) and the possibility of adding your own two cents to an interactive Live Gonzo hardcore video broadcast tailored for Fleshlight-augmented viewing, these two innovations would be enough for most sex toy manufacturers; but not for Fleshlight, no sir!
Unveiling a Tori Black model at the tail end of 2010, the Fleshlight folks knew they'd have a tough year ahead. So, like any sensible adult entertainment professionals would, they called on two of porn's most dazzling performers, each one a multiple AVN Award-winner: the Japanese-American reigning queen of hardcore, Asa Akira, and everyone's favorite MILF (and clearly the most fuckable of all Sarah Palin impersonators) Lisa Ann. That's right, folks, for just $79.95 you now have the option of inserting your erection into an elastomeric gel mold that, at least on the outside, looks and feels (almost) exactly like the mouths, pussies, and tight, tight assholes of the incomparable Lisa Ann and Asa Akira. Me, I still beat off the old fashioned way, but with Fleshlight continuing to smash sales records and wow customers, that might change soon enough.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|The Puerto Rican Connection
Go ahead and visit Manny down at the community center in Bohan. As if it would surprise you by this point, he's again attached at the hip with his cameraman, but scolds him endlessly for misrepresenting him and his message. In fact, it's that misinterpretation that's at the heart of the mission Manny gives you, because people have been talking a lot of crap about him since his message started hitting the airwaves. He wants to send Niko out to get the guys that are responsible for all the smack talk.
Agree to take his mission and head on outside, where you should boost a car and begin heading south towards Dukes. The specific location you want to head to is Brunner Street, but thankfully the GPS will get you there relatively easy, taking the East Borough Bridge via Charge Island to cross the river in a flash. Then, simply drive to your location, where the next leg of the mission will ensue.

Hello! I'm a henna newbie with wavy/curly light-medium brown hair, with natural golden, almost dark blonde tones at the ends of my hair and in the wispy places around my temples. I have a lot of gray roots that I want covered. I have used the Ancient Sunrise® Henna for Gray Hair Kit: Medium Brunette twice, but find it is coming out much too red, especially on the fine, almost-blond wispy bits around my forehead. I want to avoid results that are red, orange, and auburn. I don't mind going darker than my natural hair if it means I won't see any red/orange/auburn.
I have scoured these forums looking for tips and tricks and below is a rough draft of a plan, based on what I have read here. I would love to have someone more knowledgeable and experienced confirm that this plan sounds good. I thought maybe it was amla I needed, but just learned about cassia, and am wondering if this would be better for my sort of golden brown tones mixed throughout my hair.
Plant Dyes
1 part henna
1 part indigo
.25 part amla
~ or ~
50% cassia
25% henna
25% indigo
and some amla for the curls?
Distilled water with diluted lemon juice - or should I use apple juice instead of water/lemon?
Mix henna with amla (or cassia) and liquid and let sit 8 hours
After 8 hours, mix with indigo and apply to hair
Let sit 4 hours
After Dye
Do not use shampoo for at least 48 hours, only conditioner.

Nursing has been one of the professional disciplines of the
University of Virginia since 1901, when a three-year diploma program was first
offered to high school students under the aegis of the University of Virginia
Hospital and the Department of Medicine. Today, as one of the 10 independent
schools of the University with a full-time faculty of 50 and an enrollment of
500 undergraduate and graduate students, the school offers the degrees of Bachelor
of Science in Nursing, Master of Science in Nursing, and, as a department of
the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing.
The first baccalaureate degree in nursing, the Bachelor of
Science in Nursing Education, was offered in 1928 for the first time through
the School of Nursing Education in the Department of Education, made possible
by an endowment of $50,000 from the Graduate Nurses Association of Virginia
in memory of Sadie Heath Cabaniss, Virginias outstanding pioneer nurse.
The purpose of this degree program was to train registered nurses for teaching,
supervisory, or administrative positions. The present baccalaureate program
was established in 1950 as a four-year course, with a curriculum consisting
of a two-year academic concentration followed by the two-year nursing major.
In 1953, a Department of Nursing was established to administer the diploma program
and the two baccalaureate programs: the Bachelor of Science in Nursing and the
Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education. Three years later, in 1956, this department
became the School of Nursing. The Master of Science in Nursing Program, initiated
in 1972, currently offers specialty preparation in community health/public health
and health systems management; nurse practitioner preparation in acute care
nursing, primary care nursing, and psychiatric mental health nursing; and clinical
specialist preparation in acute and specialty care and in psychiatric mental
health nursing. The primary care nursing program prepares family nurse practitioners
and pediatric nurse practitioners. The acute care program prepares clinical
nurse specialists and nurse practitioners to function in acute care settings.
A post masters program (non-degree) prepares nurse practitioners in primary
care, psychiatric mental health, geriatric care, acute care, community/public
health leadership, and health systems management. Wound, ostomy, and continence
post masters preparation is also available.
The school offers two additional joint degrees: an M.S.N.-M.B.A.
program in collaboration with the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration,
and an M.S.N.-M.A. in Bioethics in collaboration with the School of Medicine,
the School of Law, and the Department of Religious Studies.
The Ph.D. in Nursing Program, begun in 1982, is designed to
prepare scholars and researchers committed to expanding the base of nursing
knowledge. Major components of the program include nursing, research, cognates,
and electives. The program is housed in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
The School of Nursing, accredited by the Commission on Collegiate
Nursing Education, and the Virginia State Board of Nursing, is a member of the
Council of Baccalaureate and Higher Degree Programs of the National League for
Nursing, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, and the Southern Regional
Education Board. The school was first accredited by the National League of Nursing
Education in 1941 and appeared on the first list of accredited nursing schools
issued by the league.
In addition to actively participating in the leading national
nursing organizations, the school has an active chapter, Beta Kappa, of Sigma
Theta Tau, the international honor society of nursing. Both graduate and undergraduate
students are eligible for membership.

Grounds, near the University of Virginia Medical Center, the school occupies
McLeod Hall, a modern five story building with classrooms, clinical learning
laboratories, seminar rooms, and a computer laboratory. It also houses the center
for Nursing Historical Inquiry, one of two archive nursing history centers in
the United States. The School of Nursing draws upon the multiple resources of
the Universitys 10 academic divisions and the University of Virginia Health
System in offering its graduate programs in nursing. The programs are further
strengthened by the facilities and personnel of a wide variety of Virginia hospitals,
community health centers, health departments, and private physicians offices.
Claude Moore Health Sciences Library This library primarily
serves the faculty, students, and staff of the University of Virginia Health
System, which includes the Schools of Medicine and Nursing and the hospital.
The library is a modern facility with small group meeting rooms,
audiovisual viewing rooms, typing rooms, microcomputers, and photocopy machines.
It maintains well-developed collections of books, journals, reference materials,
and audiovisual materials in medicine, nursing, and related areas.
The Health Sciences Instructional Resources Center, on the
first floor of the library, maintains a substantial collection of videocassettes
and other media. A variety of players, projectors, recorders, monitors, and
a cluster of microcomputers are available for use in the center, and a small
collection of equipment is available for use outside the center. The library
also houses an extensive historical collection.
The resources in the Health Sciences Library are augmented
by materials in Alderman and Clemons Libraries, the Science/Technology Information
Center, various departmental libraries (e.g., biology, psychology, physics,
chemistry, engineering, and law) and libraries of the departments and clinics
in the School of Medicine. These libraries include special collections in historical
materials in nursing and medicine.
Computer Services In addition to the computer resources
available to all University students, the School of Nursing provides computer
resources for students and faculty in McLeod Hall. A computer laboratory on
the third floor of the building includes terminals connecting to the University
mainframe computers and personal computers for data and word processing.
University of Virginia Health System The University
Hospital, together with the Kluge Childrens Rehabilitation Center, comprise
a tertiary-care teaching facility with over 550 beds. Approximately 27,000 patients,
from a wide geographic area, are cared for each year on the inpatient units.
The hospital provides a stimulating, challenging learning environment
for graduate students. As a regional medical center, the hospital serves a diverse
group of patients whose health care needs are often complex. In addition to
general medicine, all major subspecialty services are available, including cardiology,
endocrinology, hematology/oncology, nephrology, neurology, pulmonary, and rheumatology.
Surgery departments include thoracic-cardiovascular surgery, plastic surgery,
neurosurgery, urology, orthopedics, gynecology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology,
and general surgery. In addition to medical and surgical units, there are a
number of critical care areas: a medical intensive care unit, a surgical intensive
care unit, a burn center, and a coronary care unit.
As with adult services, all major pediatric subspecialties
are available to children and adolescent patients. A pediatric intensive care
unit and a neonatal intensive care unit with an air-ground Emergency Transport
System serve critically ill children and neonates from central and western Virginia
and surrounding areas.
Over 335,000 patients are seen annually in the clinics at the
Health Sciences Center. The Outpatient Department houses medical and pediatric
specialty clinics. The Primary Care Center includes over 126 examining and consultant
rooms, a patient education center, playrooms for the children of adult clients,
and short-term beds for temporary observation. Medicine, family practice, dermatology,
pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and the oncology service see patients
in this facility.
An additional 58,000 patients are seen annually in the Emergency
Room. Patients range from the non-acute to the severely injured or critically
ill. Radio and telemetry communication with all local rescue squads helps to
provide pre-hospital care and stabilization of patients.
The psychiatric facilities of the University of Virginia Health
System include inpatient, outpatient, emergency, and consultation-liaison services.
Clinics for children, adolescents, families, and adults offer a range of diagnostic
treatment, consultation, and educational services, including individual, family,
and group therapy on an outpatient basis.
The Kluge Childrens Rehabilitation Center has both an
intermediate care inpatient unit and multiple outpatient clinics for children
and adolescents with a variety of orthopedic and chronic conditions. The center
provides medical treatment, physiotherapy, education, occupational therapy,
training in the activities of daily living, training in speech and hearing,
and vocational guidance. Family services are provided through psychological
and genetic counseling and medical social work.
The hospital is registered by the American Medical Association
as meeting hospital standards, is on the approved list of the American College
of Surgeons, and is approved by the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals
of the American Medical Association as acceptable for the training of interns,
as well as for various residencies and fellowships. In addition, the hospital
is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals.
The School of Nursing cooperates with other institutions and
agencies to provide research and clinical learning opportunities for students.
It utilizes health departments, community hospitals, outpatient facilities,
industries, schools, geriatric care facilities, mental health care facilities,
and tertiary and ambulatory clinical services for patients of all ages. Students
have the opportunity to function in advanced practice roles under preceptor
Cooperation and personal attention mark the relations between
faculty members and students. Each graduate student is assigned an academic
faculty advisor by the associate dean upon admission to the school, and students
are encouraged to avail themselves of this resource. The School of Nursing Office
of Admissions and Student Services provides assistance and serves as a source
of information for other support resources. The Department of Student Health
and the University Counseling Center are available to assist the student through
individual and group counseling sessions.
Additional Expenses
In addition to tuition, fees, and expenses as outlined in chapter
2, graduate students in nursing should anticipate the following additional expenses:
Field Trips Students are responsible for expenses incurred
while on field trips.
Travel to Clinical Facilities Many of the clinical facilities
used in the masters and post-masters programs are a distance from
the medical center. Transportation costs to and from these facilities must be
borne by the student.
Clinical Agencies: Responsibility, Compliance and Affiliation
Agreement Policy Formal affiliation agreements are executed with all agencies
prior to placement of students in clinical sites to provide direct care to patients.
Agreements must be fully executed and include the signatures of the authorized
representative of the facility, the Dean of the School of Nursing, and the Assistant
Vice President for Finance and University Comptroller. Faculty members are responsible
for adherence to these agreements. Students will be placed in clinical sites
only when enrolled in a credit-bearing course for which he or she paid tuition
and in which participation in the clinical experience is a course requirement.
This applies to all clinical experiences that require the student to have patient
The faculty member placing students and the students assigned
to agencies are responsible for knowing and adhering to the contents of the
affiliation agreement, including its conditions and responsibilities.
The School does not provide legal advice to the student regarding
whether to submit to the conditions set by the facility. The School does not
pay any student costs related to the clinical experience. If the student declines
or fails to participate in or complete the clinical experience and the experience
is a requirement for the course, the student will not successfully complete
the course and may not graduate. The student is solely responsible for the consequences
of his or her decision regarding whether to submit to the conditions or requirements
established by the facility.
Medical Instruments A complete set of diagnostic instruments
must be procured by students admitted to the advanced practice nursing program.
The cost of these instruments is assumed by the student.
Hospital Insurance The Student Health Service does not
provide for the expense of hospital care. The University requires that all students
carry hospitalization insurance for year-round coverage. A preferred risk group
insurance program sponsored by the University is available; for an additional
premium, the dependents of married students are included. Students or parents
may substitute a plan comparable to that offered by the University.
CPR Certification Students are required to obtain certification
in cardiopulmonary resuscitation for adults children, and infants prior to entering
clinical courses. Certification must be maintained throughout the program, and
validation must be presented each year. Students must complete the American
Heart Association Basic Life Support for Health Care Providers course.
Immunization Titer Requirements: The School of Nursing
requires documentation of a positive antibody titer for Hepatitis B, rubella,
and varicella for all students who practice in a clinical setting. No student
will be permitted to enroll in clinical courses without providing this documentation.
Information regarding the vaccine and antibody titers can be obtained from the
students local health care provider, district health department, or from
Student Health.

The Lipscomb Lady Bisons basketball team will be dealing with the unknown.
Sunday afternoon at 2 the Lady Bisons, 0-1, will be in Fayetteville, Ark., to face Arkansas from the Southeastern Conference in Walton Arena.
The Lady Razorbacks have a new coach, Tom Collen, and some new players.
"They are a little bit of an unknown," said Lipscomb coach Frank Bennett. "They are an SEC team so I know they will be bigger and have more talent. We will probably try to go with a bigger lineup to try to match up with them."
The Lady Bisons will be without forward Kaleigh Gossman, one of their key inside players. She is not expected to be back on the court until possibly the Bowling Green State game Thursday night.
The Lady Bisons opened the season with a 66-53 loss at Tennessee-Martin.
"We aren't executing our assignments," Bennett said. "I don't know if we are nervous or what since we are playing three freshmen and some players who didn't play that much last season."
Wing player Jilian Partin scored 14 points against Tennessee-Martin. She continues to be one of the most physically tough players for the Lady Bisons, but she has also added a 3-point shot this season.
"She always plays hard, but she is starting to knock down threes," Bennett said. "She really worked hard on her shooting over the summer. She is strong on the boards and she takes the ball to the basket, but adding the 3-point shot gives a new level to her game."
Another player that has impressed Bennett in the early stages of the season is junior post player Katie Rollins.
"Katie has really been playing solid," Bennett said. "She has simplified her game. She is getting rebounds. She is in better condition this season. She is playing harder."
Arkansas beat the Lady Bisons 77-39 last season at Allen Arena.
After being on the road for two games, the Lady Bisons are back at Allen Arena Tuesday night to face Fisk at 7 and Bowling Green State.

Over the past week or so, four friends and acquaintances have told me they have given up Facebook.
Over the past week or so, four friends and acquaintances have told me they have given up Facebook.
One was so inspired after I asked him why that he emailed me a manifesto that lists about half a dozen reasons, including privacy concerns, "politics and stupid people" and feeling "too connected" to "friends" he cares little about and who probably feel the same about him.
"It is a time-killer," he wrote. "It simply felt like FB was taking more from me than it was giving."
Feelings were similar among the other friends who told me they are pulling the plug.
I've felt some of the same frustrations, but Facebook still gives me more than it takes. I like using it to keep in touch with friends and family across the country. However hard to believe, I actually like cute cat pictures and videos — in moderation — and I credit Facebook, in part, with connecting members of my high-school rock band and helping us reunite for the first time in three decades.
I enjoy using Facebook to chat with The Courier and Daily Comet's readers, too. Combined, our Facebook pages — facebook.com/houmatoday and facebook.com/dailycomet — have more than 17,000 fans.
Some occasionally ask why one news story or another was or wasn't posted to our Facebook pages. Our mission is not to regurgitate everything we already offer on our websites onto Facebook. That would be redundant. At houmatoday.com and dailycomet.com, you'll find every story, photo and video we have to offer.
Sure, we post links to some of that content on our Facebook pages, along with anything else that catches our interest or that we think will interest you. Some things we post just for fun. We usually do so as a way of starting conversation — an exchange of thoughts and ideas is what social networking is really all about. You never know what people will be talking about on our Facebook pages, and that serendipity is one of the things that makes them fun and interesting places to visit. Join us there and see for yourself.
As for my personal Facebook page, you'll rarely find me there. I usually check it for a few minutes once or twice a day, but I can't fathom being joined at the hip to it like some of my friends.
When it comes to social networking, I follow the adage "everything in moderation, nothing to excess."
Maybe that's why I still like it. Maybe I'm just lucky enough not to have the addictive or obsessive personality that might chain me to Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare or text messaging like some people I see walking around like zombies, necks bent and eyes fixed to their smartphone screens. Or maybe I'm just old-school enough to enjoy time together with relatives and real friends more than sitting alone in a darkened room with my Facebook friends.
For me, social networking works best when it connects people in reality rather than virtually. It's easy to fall for the illusion of being connected with 500 or 600 Facebook "friends" streaming a constant barrage of small talk across a screen. And just amassing that many Facebook friends or more stokes a lot of egos.
But I wonder sometimes whether Facebook and the like actually do more to isolate than connect people to anything — or anyone — meaningful. Like most things in life, it depends how we use it — or abuse it.

Puchkova upsets Venus Williams in Brazil
March 2, 2013
FLORIANOPOLIS, Brazil (AP) — Top-seeded Venus Williams was upset by Olga Puchkova 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 at the Brazil Tennis Cup on Friday.
The 109th-ranked Russian will play in the final of the hard court tournament in southern Brazil against Monica Niculescu of Romania, who defeated seventh-seeded Kristina Mladenovic of France 6-0, 6-2.
Puchkova broke Williams late in the second and third sets to close out the match in 2 hours, 31 minutes.
Williams was playing in her first tournament since losing to Maria Sharapova in the third round of the Australian Open in January.
