WASHINGTON (Circa) -- President Trump announced the United States will be withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal which was agreed to during the Obama administration. President Obama, congressmen and world leaders are reacting to Trump's announcement on social media.
President Obama tweeted a response that has over 10,000 retweets on Twitter and 25,000 reactions on Facebook.
"The reality is clear. The JCPOA is working – that is a view shared by our European allies, independent experts, and the current U.S. Secretary of Defense," Obama said. "The JCPOA is in America's interest – it has significantly rolled back Iran's nuclear program. And the JCPOA is a model for what diplomacy can accomplish – its inspections and verification regime is precisely what the United States should be working to put in place with North Korea."
"I believe that the decision to put the JCPOA at risk without any Iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake. Without the JCPOA, the United States could eventually be left with a losing choice between a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle East," the former president said. "In a dangerous world, America must be able to rely in part on strong, principled diplomacy to secure our country. We have been safer in the years since we achieved the JCPOA, thanks in part to the work of our diplomats, many members of Congress, and our allies."
Rep. Paul Ryan, speaker of the House, says the Obama-era Iran deal is "deeply flawed."
"Iran's hostile actions since its signing have only reaffirmed that it remains dedicated to sowing instability in the region," Ryan said. "The president's announcement today is a strong statement that we can and must do better."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi believes "this rash decision isolates America, not Iran."
"The President's decision to follow his misguided and uninformed campaign promise to destroy the successful Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action endangers global security and defies comprehension," Pelosi said. "Our allies will hold up their end of the agreement, but our government will lose its international credibility and the power of our voice at the table."
Rep. Adam Schiff says the United States' withdrawal will "undermine our national security."
On the other hand, former Gov. and TBN host Mike Huckabee says the "Iran deal is deader than Osama bin Laden."
Sen. Orrin Hatch says he applauds the President's announcement because he believes the deal is "deeply problematic."
Sen. Bill Nelson says that while he agrees that "more pressure" should be on Iran to "stop them from developing their ICBM missiles," he disagrees with pulling out of the deal.
"We need to put more pressure on Iran with additional economic sanctions to stop them from developing their ICBM missiles, but pulling out of this deal now is a tragic mistake," Nelson said. "It will divide us from our European allies and it will allow Iran to build a nuclear bomb within a year instead of preventing it for at least seven to 12 years."
Sen. John Barrasso believes "strategic patience with Iran has failed." The senator continued in a tweet saying, "Iran has continued to terrorize & threaten its neighbors."
Rep. Marsha Blackburn says "Iran is a terrorist state whose desire to destroy Israel and undermine the security of the U.S. is well known." The representative from Tennessee applauded President Trump in a video posted on her Twitter page.
Rep. Elizabeth Warren says President Trump's decision to withdraw undermines the "landmark agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon." Warren also believes this deal will empower "Iranian hardliners and doesn't make use safer."
Sen. Thom Tillis says Trump's decision "provides a new opportunity for America to alleviate the concerns of our allies in the Middle East by ending the experiment of appeasement and holding Iran accountable for its belligerence."
"The President is also reimposing sanctions, which were effective in weakening the Iranian regime and bringing them to the negotiating table in the first place. The Iranian regime's threat to peace and stability is real: we cannot repeat the mistakes and miscalculations of the past," Tillis said.
"President Trump has been consistent and clear that this Administration is resolved to addressing the totality of Iran's destabilizing activities. We will continue to work with our allies to build an agreement that is truly in the best interest of our long-term national security," Treasury Department secretary Steve Mnuchin said in a statement. "The United States will cut off the IRGC's access to capital to fund Iranian malign activity, including its status as the world's largest state sponsor of terror, its use of ballistic missiles against our allies, its support for the brutal Assad regime in Syria, its human rights violations against its own people, and its abuses of the international financial system."
President Emmanuel Macron recently visited President Trump and participated in a state dinner at the White House. Macron sent out a tweet as Trump was making his announcement saying, "France, Germany, and the UK regret the U.S. decision to leave the JCPOA. The nuclear non-proliferation regime is at stake."
Republican Chair of House Armed Services Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces Mike Turner says the deal is a "deeply flawed agreement" but also believes "without proof that Iran is in violation of the agreement, it is a mistake to fully withdraw from this deal."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who is currently up for re-election, says "everything President Obama has done, the president wants to undo."
Sen. Dick Durbin says withdrawing from Iran "is a mistake of historic proportions."
Rep. Ron DeSantis says "the Iran deal has never been the law of the land because it was never ratified as a treaty by the Senate."
"President Trump had every right to withdraw the U.S. from what was effectively an Obama executive agreement," DeSantis said.
Sen. Tim Kaine, former vice presidential candidate in the 2016 election, asked on his Twitter page "why would President Trump blow up this deal and free Iran of that obligation? What is he thinking?"
Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, Khalid bin Salman, says his country fully supports President Trump's plan because they "had reservations with regards to sunset clauses, ballistic missiles program, and Iran's support for terrorism in the region."
Utah Republican candidate for Senate Mitt Romney says "nothing short of a permanent elimination of Iran's nuclear weapon program is acceptable." Romney also says "its effectiveness will depend in large measure on the cooperative action of our allies and the impact of new sanctions."
Donald Trump Jr. reacted on Twitter by simply saying "another promise fulfilled."
Sen. Chuck Grassley says the nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama administration "was an example of leading from behind on foreign policy."
"When negotiations began, the United States was in a position of strength because sanctions were hurting Iran. But President Obama, in his desire to get a deal, weakened America's position by agreeing to one-sided concessions in return for worthless commitments from a deceitful and repressive regime," Grassley said. "We now know Iran was driving full speed ahead in developing nuclear weapons. By pulling the U.S. out of this badly negotiated deal, President Trump is putting America back in a position of strength and showing the kind of global leadership the country needs as it approaches challenges, not only from Iran, but also from nations like North Korea, Russia and China."
Sen. Joni Ernst, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, says Obama's deal "did not go far enough in its efforts to permanently dismantle Iran's nuclear program.
"The agreement, negotiated by then-President Obama, lacks basic oversight and enforcement, and allows a dishonest Iran to continue its destabilizing activity and potentially restart its nuclear weapons program at the sunset of the JCPOA. Iran continues to pose a serious threat, not only on the global stage as they are allowed to advance their unfettered ballistic missile capacities, but also in the Middle East," Ernst said. "We know that Iran continues to support and finance terrorist organization proxies that destabilize the region, endangering American servicemembers and our partners. I am encouraged by the President's decision to withdraw from the JCPOA today, and have full confidence that the President and Secretary Pompeo will work with Congress to develop a comprehensive strategy that permanently addresses the threat that a nuclear-capable Iran poses to U.S. and international security."
Former Mexican president Vicente Fox believes "President Trump made the U.S. democracy look like a toy he can play with. There's no one to stop or prevent his rants, he says one thing now and shortly, he changes his mind causing uncertainty in the world."
"It's a shame how the U.S. has lost its place in the world," Fox said.
Sen. Mark Warner, who serves on the intel committee, says "withdrawing from the Iran deal makes the United States, and the world, less secure."
Former secretary of state John Kerry, who helped negotiate this deal, says "today's announcement weakens our security, breaks America's word, isolates us from our European allies, puts Israel at greater risk, empowers Iran's hardliners, and reduces our global leverage to address Tehran's misbehavior, while damaging the ability of future Administrations to make international agreements."
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked President Trump for his "bold decision and your commitment to prevent Iran from ever getting nuclear weapons."
Last week, Netanyahu said Iran 'lied' to the international community about their nuclear weapons program.
"We believe President Trump will do the right thing for America, for Israel and for the world," Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer told Sinclair Broadcast Group. "It's very clear where President Trump stands on this deal...He said it's a dangerous deal, he's right. He said it should have never been signed, he's right."

- 1962
Kennedy announces fair housing legislation
On this day in 1962, President John F. Kennedy issues Executive Order 11063, which mandates an end to discrimination in housing. The order, which came during the burgeoning Civil Rights movement, prohibited federally funded housing agencies from denying housing or funding for housing to anyone based on their race, color, creed or national origin.
Since the 1950s, American minorities, particularly African Americans, had been largely relegated to living in overcrowded inner-city ghettos or impoverished rural areas. The "American Dream" of owning a house in the suburbs, or even a small apartment in a safe city neighborhood was unobtainable for many minority families because federally funded lending agencies often refused to give minorities home loans. When Kennedy took office in 1960, he vowed to do more for civil rights than his predecessors. When he issued the order in 1962, Kennedy called discrimination in federal housing agencies unfair, unjust and inconsistent with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and bemoaned the disgraceful, substandard, unsafe and unsanitary housing in which most African Americans and other minorities were forced to live.
Although Kennedy's order was a symbolic landmark for ending de facto segregation in housing, the policy was never enforced. The order left it up to the individual housing and funding agencies to police themselves, leaving much room for non-compliance from state to state. After his assassination in 1963, civil rights activists continued to lobby for integrated neighborhoods. It took Kennedy's successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, until 1968, however, to get a majority of Congress to support a fair housing law.

I've had about three hours sleep today – for some reason I woke up in a cold panic.
Which Chanel Quad do I want next?
No not really. I am very paranoid about catching a virus that's been spreading rapidly in the UK –
The Norwalk virus, or Winter Vomiting Virus.
I had this same time last year. In my twenty odd years, I have can barely remember a time I have been sick; iron stomach, me. Then as well as feeling extremely nauseous and dizzy, I was sick successively for three days. It was the worst I had ever felt in a long time. I remember clearly my shiny new Macbook had arrived, and I didn't even have the strength to look at it for a week; it remained in its box, unloved. (But I have made up for it since then…)
There is a lovely quote from BBC News, from Dr John Cowden, consultant epidemiologist at the Scottish Centre for Infection and Environmental Health in Glasgow, who said: "We are not talking about feeling a bit dicky and chucking up in the toilet bowl. I am told that people can vomit straight out for about a yard."
Thanks Dr Cowden, for that precise, medical description.
The other half is currently doing a show with a young man called Chesney Hawkes, who some of you may or may not remember from the 80s (I clearly remember singing his song when I was about six in the playground, just for the dinner lady to walk past me and say, 'You're singing it wrong!"
Jolly nice chap, says the other half. Anyway I hear the One and Only has this bug and I am only hoping the other half didn't engage in any 'man hugs' because if he's brought it home, he is living in the store cupboard.
On to a bit of make up! Receiving post on a Saturday is a nice little treat, since it doesn't happen that often. I got a lot of 12 NYX pencils I won off the bay:
Notice I have been trying out some new software? Editing all my pictures in Photoshop was too time consuming, too battery absorbing, too complex. This was much easier…
The pencils were very impressive; soft and easy to apply. The colours were more vivid than I thought they would be; I love the effect of the metallic ones in particular. I am not sure how they will be on the waterline, so I need to give that a try and report back.
I put it on the back of my hand and after 4 hours, half of the colours had faded a little. I mention this because when I swatch Urban Decay liners, pencil or liquid, they will not fade at all…but then you could probably get 3 NYX pencils for the price of one Urban Decay so it depends on what you want…
Since my thang of the month is Chanel Quads, I picked up this Limited Edition Bouton Lilas Quad for around £15 which is a bargain:
I am not a fan of just pastel colours, although this could look nice with a bit of black liner. The gold C's I believe will come off once they have been touched so…bye bye quad, see you in 2070 on my deathbed…
Mmm you know what I would love right now?…
McDonald's Double Sausage McMuffin. Has anyone ever eaten one of these and not felt ill afterwards. It's the "double" bit that is the killer. But I love hash browns, I could just have say 10 hash browns and an orange juice.
Then after McDonald's follows:
…remorse and an exercise DVD. The star of this DVD is a girl called Natalie Cassidy, who was on a prime time UK soap called Eastenders, which is the top programme that people get forced to watch in England. The media haven't been kind to her regarding her weight or appearance and suddenly, *poof* and she's gone from a UK Size 16 to a Size 8. She does look a lot smaller…hopefully she has managed it without exerting herself too much. The picture on the DVD does look like a bad photoshop job though, like her head has been stuck on someone else's body and she's been coloured in.
Anyway the DVD is sold out everywhere! But everyone has a resolution to get fit, don't they? I am going to add myself to that list and start the workout by trying to locate this DVD…over the Internet. Small steps, small steps.

As you may know, astronomers for several decades have been finding planets outside of our own solar system. The total number found so far is, I believe, over 400.
For reasons having to do with the discovery process, most of those are very large planets. Also, most of them are too close or too far from their suns to be able to have liquid water, which is believed to be vital to the existence of life. Therefore, so far there haven't been any earth-like planets found where life could exist (according to our understanding of how life can form and even exist). But even within our own solar system, some of the moons of Saturn or Jupiter might be able to support life.
In any event, it is probably only a matter of time before planets similar to our own Earth are found. Of course that does not mean that they will be found to have life, let alone intelligent or highly evolved life.
But also, astronomers have been speculating about intelligent life outside of our own earth for a long time; and the famous, late Carl Sagan in fact proposed a formula for calculating the likelihood of extraterrestrial life given the enormous number of galaxies, each with many stars, and many stars no doubt having planets.
So if you want to believe the speculation and calculation, they're out there--though we have not yet contacted them. (Some people of course believe they have visited us.)
Well, if we do ever confirm the existence of creatures like ourselves (or not) elsewhere in the universe, that will pose a problem for religion. Christianity holds that God sent his Son to Earth. Did God send the same son--or anyone else that he progenerated--to other planets? If not, why was Earth singled out? Can we assume that somehow Earth is special in God's sight and was singled out for the blessing of having His Son sent to us?
So the eventual discovery or confirmation of life elsewhere should, in principle, pose a problem for religion--at least for Christianity. But you know what? I think it will survive. Some sci-fi writers have even speculated that Christianity will simply send missionaries and export its religion throughout the universe, just as it did all over the Earth.

The hope is that any sufficiently advanced civilization that is capable of such travel would be older, so people also assume that it would be more... Well "mature" for lack of a better word...
There certainly no reason to assume that it will be any older, more peaceful, or more reasonable; but people like to dream...
Well, if they meet us more than halfway, it doesn't seem too unreasonable to assume that they will be more developed than us. But here's the really frightening idea... You know how sci fi always has an "elder race"? Be it Vulcan or Protoss or whatever... What if we humans are the actual elder race of the galaxy? Scary, isn't it?
It is not reasonable to assume that they will be superior in any way but technologically. Having bigger, better toys, does not necessarily mean anything more than just that. However, if we learn we are the "elder race", we might as well just stick to this rock because the universe is doomed.
Well, that seems to be where all the evidence points. It may have taken 200,000 years to get where we are, but I am comfortable believing we are more than halfway to the stars. If third generation stars like our sun have been around for billions of years, the less than half million years it will take to go from dawn of our species to interstellar voyagers is nothing. A margin of some 0.01%. The odds that there is a race older than us, but just a tiny bit so that we haven't heard from them yet, seems miniscule.
Lets see, the universe is 13.77 ± 0.059 billion years old according to our best estimates, and our solar system has been around about 4.5 billion. Humans have been around for what, about a couple of hundred thousand years or so? I really do not see there being any evidence that we are the apex species of the universe...
As far as us not hearing from them yet, you make the assumption that they would try to contact us, which isn't necessarily true. What reason should they believe we would be welcoming or have anything of any value to offer?
We live on a semi-dark ages planet where religion still holds enough sway to stigmatize theories that have better and more persuasive evidence than gravity. There are wars, murders, and just plain sadistic bullshit crawling out of the orifices of just about every single mainstream religion on this rock. We have polluted, destroyed, or exploited the majority of natural resources we have(lets not even go into global warming). And if that isn't bad enough, we have politicians.
What race in their right mind would WANT to have anything to do with us, we are the insane asylum of the universe! Hell, I would live on the moon if I could, but I am sure the crazies would make it there eventually, and it would start all over...
They might want to study us as examples of primitive life forms.
Perhaps, but they would not have to play nice for that either. If they view us as primitive, as we do other animals, they would not have to care how the study was done. Do we ask monkeys or labrats if they want to vivisected and studied? Why should they see or treat us any differently if we are below them?
I might see their interest if we share common traits, but if we were too different physiologically, our study would be of limited benefit for them beyond satisfying curiosity.
If the nonevidence believers leave earth to preach to the universe there will be more room for evidence based thinkers here on earth.
Yeah, but can you imagine the havoc they would bring to the galaxy? It would be like the haciendas all over again if we let them.
I don't know your analogy of the hacienda.
Feel free to read up, but don't take the sugar coating they try to feed you. They make it sound so nice. "Natives were not irrevocably bound to missions until baptism". Is that an apology for keeping them as slaves AFTER they were baptized?
And forget about the two years till baptism part. I have read about other places where people were baptized, having no idea what was going on, and then because their "pagan" marriages weren't recognized by the Spanish, were forced to live in all male or all female dormitories away from their spouses. Just sick.
We would probably be destroyed, as we could not have picked worse representatives for our race. The fundamentalists would make them think of us as little more than cattle... cattle too violent and hateful to be allowed to exist.

New Modern Warfare 3 screens couldnt be any more grey
It's like, how much more grey could this be? And the answer is none. None more grey...
Today, Activision released a small batch of new screenshots for Modern Warfare 3 today, showing off a skirmish taking place on a monochromatic street. When compared to other images and trailers of Call of Duty games it's... actually fairly tame. There are few explosions, fewer buildings collapsing, and even fewer nuclear weapons blowing up. Wait, huh? We thought this was a Call of Duty game! Things really have changed now that the old Infinity Ward team is gone.
It sure does look pretty, though. We're sure that many of you have better eyes for Call of Duty nuances than we do, so take a look and tell us what you think. Are there any new guns in there? Can you figure out where it is they're fighting? It sort of looks like it might be in the US – maybe even NYC – but it's so zoomed-in that we can't tell. Then again, if it was NYC we're pretty confident that the Statue of Liberty's head would be on the street somewhere, since that seems to happen whenever things go south in NYC.

Dear Coach,
If you are coaching - or about to start coaching - players in the 5 to 8 year old age range, pay attention.
I'd like to show you how you can engage your players, introduce essential soccer skills and - most importantly - create a safe and friendly place for young children to learn and have fun.
You can get all this from my new coaching book Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds.
I'm Keith Boanas, an English Football Association Coach Educator and Head Coach for Surrey County Football Association. After 29 years coaching kids I've brought together some of my favourite games with new themes that I'm sure will energise your coaching sessions.
Can't see the image? Click here.
This is a game taken from my new soccer coaching book Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds. Get Ghostbusters and 24 more fun games for just £12 (that's just
48p a game!).
Have you ever tried to run a drill for a group of 5 year old children? Did it go well?
I doubt it.
You see, they're called drills for a reason. What young player would want to spend their time passing a ball back and forth in a straight line?
You will be lucky if you can run a drill for 5 minutes before their interest has disappeared completely.
Start your session by telling your players that you are going to do some technical drills and it will probably go something like this:
ôWe are going to do some passing drills todayö
A hand shoots up from one of your players.
ôWhen are we going to play a game?ö
ôNot yet, we've got to do these drills firstö
ôAww, coachö
Children view drills for exactly what they are, boring and monotonous. If you keep running drills not only will you lose your player's interest, ultimately, you will lose your players. No child is going to come to your sessions week after week if they are not having fun.
So, how do you overcome this? The answer is simple, play games.
What can Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds do for your players?
Let's look at each of these:
Games are the best way to teach a range of basic soccer skills. In Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds I have covered all of the basic skills such as passing, shooting, dribbling, heading and even goalkeeping.
At this age, above all else, children want to have fun. That's why the soccer authorities in the UK and United States back the idea of fun games.
Games are fun which is why we continue to play them well into adulthood. Top soccer matches are still games, they've just developed a more competitive, and commercial, edge.
How do you get a child to buy into your games? Make them engaging.
The games in Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds are based on things that every child can relate to, they use spaceships, pirates, tigers, monkeys, aliens and aeroplanes and a whole host of other ideas as inspiration (see column, right for a list of game names).
Games can educate your players beyond the learning of basic soccer skills. My games are based on simple sets of rules and educate players in simple ideas such as right and wrong. They are introduced in a fun environment and with achievable, desirable objectives.
Young children can be selfish, they're not always keen to share their toys and they strive to achieve objectives independently.
Give them a ball and they'll want to keep it.
Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds introduces teamwork in a variety of ways.
The majority of games in my book require one ball per player so that everyone can be involved even though the games are all team based.
I've used these games over and over again and I know that they work. However, I'm never afraid to make changes, to the rules, to the playing area, or even to the premise of the game.
If your children would rather be a fighter pilot than a spaceman, go for it. Based around a simple set of rules the children can put whatever spin they like on each game. If they want to be medieval jousters, that's not a problem.
You can even let them change the rules. It's a case of how would they like to play the game as much as how should they play the game.
If young children play a game and enjoy it you can be sure they'll want to keep on playing ľ ever played peek-a-boo with a baby? Ever seen a baby get bored of it? Your children are going to latch on to these games and want to play them over and over again.
At a very young age you don't need to introduce endless variety. Ask the children what game they want to play and off you go. They'll be back week after week, there's a big difference between consistent fun and monotony.
Space Wars - shoot down the enemy.
Ghostbusters - dodge the spooks.
Aliens - they'll get you, eventually.
Pirates of the Caribbean - round up your shipmates.
Over The Border - cross the border and try to make a tackle.
Space Invaders - dodge the lasers.
Tiger Tails - try to steal the other tiger's tails.
King of the Ring - who will be the last player standing?
Donĺt Feed the Monkeys - feed the monkeys and the zookeepers get angry.
Airball - don't let the ball touch the ground.
Robocop - walk, don't run, and head to score.
Zombie Attack - don't get bitten.
Under Arrest - escape to get the ball and score.
Twins - work together or you'll get nowhere.
Chain Gang - stay together to win.
Head For Home - fear-free heading.
Dive Bombers - stay low to hit the target.
Bumper Cars - you'll be safe if you don't get bumped.
Tomb Raiders - steal the skull to win the game.
Bodyguards - protect your V.I.P.
Star Gates - use the gates to travel through space.
Funny Turns - display your turn and see who can copy best.
Cat and Mouse - steal the cheese.
Pool Table - pot as many balls as you can.
Behind Enemy Lines - break through the line to deliver the package.
Take a look at some of the actual illustrations used in Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds...
Tomb Raiders
Under Arrest
Pirates of the Caribbean
Tiger Tails
Funny Turns
"The games were easy to understand and implement. The kids really enjoyed them, and it made my planning much quicker."
"I know that small kids absolutely love any kind of game, so they always are a big part of my practices."
"Our young children really enjoy the games - so far their favourite games have been Ghostbusters and Cat & Mouse."
"Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds is a fantastic collection of fun, simple, clear, entertaining and most of all instructive games."
The English Football Association recognised the need to introduce soccer to young children in a way that is fun and specific to their age requirements and introduced new Youth Modules to address this important age of learning ľ which I highly recommend. This book should be a complement to the first levels.
Similarly, in the United States there is the National Youth License which works towards the same goal of age specific coaching.
The English Football Association issued technical foundations for coaching soccer in their 2008 document 'Developing World-Class Coaches and Players'. They said:
At a young age, players need to be taught how to:

Managing a group of young children is a difficult task at the best of times, and particularly hard if you are new to coaching.
However, there are small steps you can take that will improve your confidence speaking to children, help you to get and retain their attention, create a safe and fun environment and make sure that the game is enjoyed by all of your players.
To accompany each of the 25 games in the book I've written down 25 hints and tips that I've picked up in my 29 years as a coach.
These are not essays on mastering the art of coaching, but short, sharp insights that you can easily digest and make an instant difference to how you handle your team.
For example:
Essential Tips for Coaching Young Children #9
ôUse your player's names. If a player has a nickname that is fine, but don't make one up, it could upset them.ö
These short sharp tips will help you tiptoe through the potential minefield that is youth soccer coaching. In the example above it's far too easy to offend a child or their family by giving them a nickname. They have a perfectly good name already, so why risk causing offence?
"I use Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds on a regular basis with my U8s team and have tweaked some of the sessions to use with my eldest lads team who will be U12s in 09-10. It certainly helped freshen up my sessions. Its easy to follow with plenty of variety in the sessions to keep our 5 year olds interested for an hour. From a service aspect it was emailed to me with in mites of may payment being taken, which was brilliant enabling to me to do one of the sessions that evening.
I am a FA Level 2 coach and heavily involved with our Club Schools link where we take 4 to 6 years olds from all the local primary schools for a free six week coaching course and then invite those who are interested to join our U6s "Academy".
I have used most of the sessions or games as we tend to call them at this young age for this group.
The favourite is the "Pirates of the Caribbean" especially the bit when I shout cannonball and they all get to dive on the deck which due to the good old British summer means they can usually find a muddy bit to dive in. Funnily enough the mums are not too keen on me doing this session.
I have printed the manual off and put it into a plastic presenter which I keep in my kit bag but usually struggle to find it due to other club coaches "borrowing" it to get some ideas for their sessions.
The best thing is it didn't cost me anything, I took it to a managers meeting to show another coach how good it is and the Club Treasurer saw it and immediately gave the money for it from Club funds he was so impressed."
- Andy Spence, Brandlesholme Warriors JFC, England
"I wish this manual existed when I started coaching 5 year olds!I have played for over 25 years, but the first piece of coaching advice I received was "line drills are a thing of the past". That left me a little lost as to what to do. I spent hours and hours searching for "games" to play at practice.
This is a great resource for those new to coaching small children! The drills and exercises are well explained with illustrations, descriptions and instructions. And most importantly, the players have fun playing the games."
- Kirstie Tippe, SBAA, Canada
"I was able to utilize a number of the activities for my youth camp which attracts approx 80 players per year.
The games were easy to understand and implement. The kids really enjoyed them, and it made my planning much quicker.
Thank you for an excellent product and value."
- Dave Smith (& his daughter, Abbey), Fun In The Sun Soccer Camps, Indiana, USA
"I have been an FA level 2 coach for over 5 years and I have worked with primarily 16 year old players and above. When my daughter wanted to start playing football I inevitably got roped in to helping with the coaching. What I didnĺt appreciate immediately (although it only took me a short time to realise) was that coaching 7 year olds puts a whole new set of demands on the coach!
So off I went in search of inspiration. Having already been a subscriber to Better Soccer Coaching for my senior/adult sides what better place to start. I wasnĺt disappointed.
Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds is a fantastic collection of fun, simple, clear, entertaining and most of all instructive games which keep my under 8ĺs interested and enjoying themselves.
I think their favourite game so far is probably Cat & Mouse, they love the physical activity, the fun element, but most of all they love the competition.
The club I am involved in as Vice Chairman at Hawkwell Athletic in Essex also runs a soccer school for children from 4 years old to 8 years old and we attract over 100 children every Friday night. Since getting the Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Years Olds booklet I have started to introduce your games at these sessions. Even the mischievous ones tend to behave when we are using one of these games (especially Pirates of the Caribbean with me as Black Beard!).
Well done on a great product.
Since Iĺm the team photographer (or jack of all trades as the parents call me) I am very rarely in our team photos, however, shortly after implementing some of your games we did end up getting runners up at a local tournament and I have attached a photo of me handing out a medal to one of my players (she happens to be my daughter!)."
- Craig Leverington, Hawkwell Athletic, Essex, England
"Having recently bought Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds I would like to say how helpful I find it in making training easier to structure and get things across to my under 7 team.
I find I have more control of the session because the players easily understand what they are asked to do because it is more on their level and they find it enjoyable while I am getting an improvement in their skill levels and concentration levels bringing improvement and enjoyment for both the players and myself.
Having not coached children this young before I have found this book a great help and would recommend it to all coaches of young teams."
- Kevin Jenkins, Parkway Eagles, Peterborough, UK
"Fun Soccer Games for 5-8 Year Olds is an excellent aid for harassed and/or conscientious coaches.
The games we've tried at our football school in Mexico have been greatly appreciated by our athletes (Chain Gang was especially popular). The manual is clearly structured, its index helpful in narrowing down choices, and the game descriptions and illustrations very easy to follow. Many of the games are also easily adaptable to smaller groups of children (e.g. racing against the clock vs. competing)."

The internet is a great tool for coaches but with so few barriers to posting information there's no guarantee of the quality.
Often it is impossible to tell who designed the drills and games you see, let alone judge how qualified they are as a coach.
The games in Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds are tried, tested and proven to deliver to the specific needs of this important age group.
Information on the internet can be quite dated. Without doing time consuming research you may not be able to tell if the game you are looking at is in line with the latest directions from governing bodies such as the English Football Association and the United States Football Federation.
Fun Soccer Games for 5 to 8 Year Olds is only available from Better Football Coaching, so order now and give your young players the best possible start to their soccer experience.

Timberwolves Introduce Budinger; NBA Draft Tonight
The Timberwolves introduced 6'7 guard/forward Chase Budinger at a press conference Wednesday afternoon. Budinger was traded for by the Wolves Tuesday when they sent the 18th overall pick in this year's draft to Houston for him and little known prospect 6'9 forward Lior Eliyahu. Budinger averaged 9.6 points a game in 2011-2012 with Houston. He played his first 2 seasons for then head coach Rick Adelman. Adelman is now the head coach for the Wolves.
Timberwolves Vice President David Kahn said at the press conference that the Wolves may be interested in trading back into the first round of the draft. The Wolves currently only hold a 2nd round pick (58th overall) in tonight's draft. New Orleans as the first pick. The draft begins at 6:30pm (CT) tonight.

Last Saturday, five area cross country teams converged on Fairmount Park's Belmont Plateau, along with dozens of their peers, for the 22nd running of the Briarwood Invitational, one of the major annual meets in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Penn Charter rang up a convincing team victory in the Division II Boys Varsity race, and Mount St. Joseph Academy was the top squad in the Division I Girls Varsity contest.
There were three different varsity-level races for both boys and girls, the Division I events for large-enrollment schools, Division II for smaller institutions, and "Championship" races for a selected group of elite teams, including some of the runners visiting from five neighboring states.
The premier individual times overall were a 15-minute 41.4-second effort by Brendan Shearn of North Schuylkill High School, and a time of 18:49.3 put up by Kara Steinke of Methacton High School. Both ran in the Championship divisions.
Penn Charter senior Catie Skinner was the runner-up in the girls Division II event, and the Quakers were fifth in the team standings. The Germantown Academy boys were entered in the Championship race, but senior number one Ben Ritz was away on a college visit. His sophomore brother, Sam, was 20th overall (16:49.3), and the Patriots placed 11th out of the 12 teams entered. Senior Max Huang-Hobbs was the next GA runner to finish, coming in 30th in 17:02.0.
One spot ahead in the team standings for that Championship category was La Salle High School, led by Jack Magee, the 23rd finisher overall. Another Philadelphia Catholic League squad, Cardinal O'Hara, won the team championship in convincing fashion, outscoring West Chester's Henderson High School, the runner-up, 36-92.
GA aside, most of the Inter-Ac league teams were in the boys' Division II race won by Charter, including Springside Chestnut Hill Academy. With the five-year career of superstar Dustin Wilson now at an end (he's a freshman at Columbia University, the school GA's Ben Ritz was visiting last weekend), SCH placed 14th in the field of 18, with 376 points.
The PC boys dominated with a team score of 38, while Malvern Prep was runner-up with 125 points and another Inter-Ac franchise, Episcopal Academy, was 10th with 226 points.
Malvern sophomore Billy McDevitt was the individual winner in 16 minutes, 37.8 seconds, and the Friars also captured second place. Third went to an athlete from Warminster's Archbishop Wood, then Charter gave itself a big leg up in the team competition by crossing its first three runners in succession.
Junior Scott Mason (4th; 17:01.9) was followed by senior Etienne Dumas (5th; 17:10.2) and sophomore Ben Szuhaj (6th; 17:12.0), with Szuhaj beating out Episcopal lead runner Steve Lucey by six tenths of a second.
Rounding out the scoring for the victorious Quakers were two juniors, Tre Williams (10th; 17:34.5) and Charlie Hoyt (13th; 17:41.8).
SCH's first finisher, junior Graham Allen, arrived in 33rd place with a time of 18:26.7. The other Blue Devil scorers were sophomore Ben Dlin (80th; 20:05.4), and seniors Jordan Wang (83rd; 20:18.8), George Kunkel (86th; 20:37.1), and Mac Concannon (99th; 21:27.0).
Among the all-girls Catholic Academies schools, Mount St. Joseph almost always competes in a higher PIAA Division than its league peers, which have smaller enrollments. So while most of the AACA teams ran in Division II at Briarwood, the Magic were slotted in Division I and had enough depth to win the team title over Cardinal O'Hara, 85-89. Great Valley High School was a close third, with 94 points.
The individual champion was Garnet Valley High's Alyssa Rudawsky with a time of 19:32.60. She was challenged by another senior, Central High School's Lucy Van Kleunen (2nd; 19:37.30), a Germantown resident and a graduate of the Green Street Friends School.
Two more 12th-graders followed, Haverford High's Tess Meehan (3rd; 19:53.2) and the lead runner for the Mount, co-captain Meredith Reiche. The fourth-place finisher in 20:05.30, Reiche had run the race together with sophomore teammate Haasinya Taylor, who placed fifth in 20:07.40.
Springside Chestnut Hill Academy junior Graham Allen
MSJ freshman Julianna Kardish stepped up with a top-20 finish, landing 17th in 21:20.4, and completing the Mount's team total were seniors Patricia Hoffman (23rd; 21:34.1) and Adrienne Cellucci (36th; 22:02.9).
The top runners in the girls' Division II race actually proved to be a little faster than their Division I counterparts. The winner, Kelly Hayes of Pearl River High School (located roughly 20 miles northwest of New York City), separated herself from everyone to cross the line in 18:54.60, while Penn Charter's Skinner (19:29.7) took second place exactly seven seconds ahead of Veronica Wheeler, from Catholic Academies member Nazareth Academy. Another AACA runner – from Villa Joseph Marie -was fourth in 19:48.7.
Two more PC seniors, Emily Diaz (22:12.5) and Ani Schug (22:28.7) placed 42nd and 47th, respectively, helping the Quakers post 199 points for a fifth place finish in the team results. They were the top Girls Inter-Ac school, ahead of Notre Dame (7th; 254 points), Baldwin (11th; 321), Episcopal (13th; 331), and Agnes Irwin (17th; 348). The girls' teams from Springside Chestnut Hill and Germantown Academy did not attend the Invitational.

Q & A with Head Coach B.J. Snow on Preparations for the 2013 CONCACAF U-17 Women's Championship
B.J. Snow: "We have had a lot of firsts for these players over the last few months. Almost every experience they have had has been new. They have played their first international games, taken their first international trip, been a part of their first international tournament and they have put on the USA jersey for the first time. All of these experiences stir up emotions that you cannot replicate. We have tried to make our schedule as difficult as possible, not only to bring about all these emotions, but more importantly, to discuss them so we can prepare ourselves as well as possible for what the future has in store.
"A huge part of their personal evolution has to do with confidence. They all have very special traits that helped earn them the opportunity to come into a training camp in the first place. Throughout this process, it is very easy to have your confidence be tested, and we have continually focused on trying to help them become self-aware and acknowledge the moments that challenge them. We always want them to know their best qualities, and when they come into a National Team setting we want them to focus on showing us what makes them special."
As a coach, how do you approach creating a good team chemistry and spirit while the players are simultaneously competing for roster positions?
Snow: "Part of my job as a coach for the National Team is to make sure that the players have perspective while also understanding the context of their involvement. Whether they are chosen for the roster or not, they need to understand that this is not the final destination in their soccer careers. Every camp, every conversation and every game gives them a snapshot of where they are developmentally. We always tell them, 'to get to where you want to go, you have to know where you are.' All of these situations provide them the opportunity to know where they are at in the developmental process.
"There are hundreds of thousands of young players across the country that would love to have the chance to be invited into a National Team camp. The truth is, very few will be given that opportunity. An even smaller number will have the chance to be part of a qualifying tournament or a World Cup. The players who we have had in are naturally competitive; they have to be in order to make it to this level. However, when you put on the shirt with a USA crest, it has a natural unifying affect. You immediately know that you are playing for something so much bigger than yourself. This is not just something we talk about. It's about testing their perspective and giving them opportunities to feel the emotions of their involvement. As long as they can keep that perspective, they can compete for spots while at the same time understanding the big picture."
The top teams in CONCACAF seem to be improving at the U-17 level, and the mid-level teams are also making jumps as well. What do you expect from the
competition in Jamaica?
Snow: "The international youth game is evolving at a very rapid pace. There has been tremendous change even since 2008 when the first U-17 FIFA Women's World Cup was staged. The game is faster with more technical players all over the field. Teams are tactically sophisticated and organized. Most of all, there has been a huge investment by countries all over the world to put resources into their organizations to help develop the future stars of the game.
"This is a very exciting time for our sport at the international youth level. The progress forces teams and players to evolve in order to compete at the highest level. We expect World Cup qualifying to be no different. The competition will be strong across the board and this is a great sign for the future of the CONCACAF region."
When you compare the current pool of U-17 players to what you've seen in the past, are American women getting more technically proficient?
Snow: "There has been a huge emphasis on improving the technical proficiency of players across the United States. When I go and watch players compete across the country, it is remarkable to see the technical gifts that a lot of players have from a young age. That being said, we are still evolving in this capacity. The gold standard has been set by the countries that have been able to have the most success at the U-17 international level. France, South Korea, Japan, North Korea have all proven over the last six years that their technical adeptness has been the primary factor for their success. This has had a transformative effect across the world. It is no longer a luxury to have technical players, it is a requirement to compete at the highest level.
"When assembling the players for this team it was important to develop a philosophy for how we want to play and then identify players who have the ability to embrace and execute the philosophy. Technical ability is not the only thing we look for but it is a big part of this equation, and we feel that we have as technical a group in all positions on the field as we have ever had. This is a credit to the youth coaches across the country that are embracing the total development of the player and making technical training a priority. However, we still have a ways to go to develop the type of comfort on the ball that is now required in the international game."
What is the message to the team in regards to how you want them to play and how have they bought into and adapted to that coaching?
Snow: "Like I said earlier, it is the coach's job to develop a philosophy of how we want to play and to identify players that have the ability to do that. The next phase requires us to teach them the objectives and expectations, and then commit to that philosophy. It has been important to stay committed to the philosophy we have in place. We have made it a point that we are in the process of building layers for how we play, and in the midst of building, we are going to have challenges and set-backs. However, it is important that we stay the course and remain committed to our overall philosophy.
"The players have far exceeded my expectations from day one with their ability to retain information and execute the plan. We have certainly had some moments that have challenged their commitment to stick with the philosophy, but that's exactly what we wanted to have happen. We want them to feel uncomfortable with certain situations. Ultimately that is the only way they will grow. The entire pool that we have since January, which consists or more than 80 players, has shown a remarkable eagerness to learn and an extraordinary focus to want to improve every day. It has truly been a pleasure to work with every one of them."

Chicago's Magnificent Mile is one of the longest and most decadent shopping streets in the world. 13 city blocks long, with more than 460 shops, 275 restaurants and 60 hotels, packed in with museums, media companies and various attractions amidst a jungle of skyscrapers. Shop till you drop, get up, shop – just keep going.
The 'Mag Mile' encompasses the stretch of North Michigan Avenue between Chicago River and Oak Street. Yearly, the street attracts around 22 million visitors. In addition to a shopping paradise, the Mile is also home to some of the city's oldest buildings, such as the Water Tower and the Pumping Station. The 100-storey John Hancock Center is also located here.
The name of this shopping paradise was invented by a real estate developer in the 1940s. But the concept is even older; this shopping area was part of the Burnham Plan of Chicago, which was presented in 1909 and designed to make Chicago a more pleasant city. The plan included the rezoning of the shore of Lake Michigan and widening of the streets. According to the plan, the warehouses and factories along Pine Street would make room for the city's commercial centre.
A century later it is clear that the plan worked out very well. The city expanded vertically, with impressive structures such as the Wrigley Building, the Tribune Tower, the London Guarantee Building, the Palmolive Building and the John Hancock Center. The Mile has become as famous as other renowned shopping streets such as Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles and Fifth Avenue in New York.
For a good overview of Chicago's grid of twinkling streets, visit the John Hancock Observatory at sunset. A super fast lift whisks visitors in 34 seconds to the 94th floor. The view is not limited to Magnificent Mile and the rest of the city, but one can also look out over Lake Michigan and see as much as 4 neighbouring states. Those with a fear of heights may wish to restrict their visit to the shopping centre at the foot of the tower.
875 N Michigan Avenue

We first met at a secluded bird sanctuary tucked into a ravine in Binghamton, New York. John Fitzpatrick and I had been invited to join Bob Schumann for lunch and bird watching. Bob, a towering man of strong moral stature, had a fondness for birds, especially the White-breasted Nuthatch, namesake of his personal sanctuary, Nuthatch Hollow. Bob liked nuthatches because their nasal calls enabled him to quickly focus in on them with binoculars, but even more because they are inextricably linked to healthy ecosystems.
Bob's fondness for birds was but one of his many passions. He was fervently dedicated to family, democracy, art, science, libraries, public broadcasting, big-band jazz, environmental conservation, and personal friendships. For decades, he and his brother, Ford, led the Florence and John Schumann Foundation, named in honor of their parents. That foundation, now called the Schumann Media Center and under the leadership of Bill Moyers, has taken on some of the most urgent challenges of democracy. In addition, Bob tackled major environmental dilemmas as a board member of National Audubon, and at Wesleyan University, his alma mater, he funded the Robert F. Schumann Environmental Studies Program.
At the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Bob was a friend, a long-time Administrative Board member, and a champion for conservation. The Cornell Lab engaged Bob's affection, with birds and staff. He referred to the latter as "the gang." They all enjoyed Bob and Marilyn's participation at Administrative Board meetings, and many of them partnered with him in bird conservation endeavors. Bob's passion for bird conservation culminated in the creation of the Robert F. Schumann Faculty Fellowship, a new directorship for the Lab's Conservation Science program.
At Bob's memorial service in December 2011, close lifelong friend Bill Moyers presented a thoughtful, heartfelt, and sometimes humorous remembrance of Bob's life. Bill remarked that, "He talked about his friends to me every chance he had. He valued what was close to him, and kept close to him what he valued." When another long-time friend and Schumann Center board member, Bill McKibben, heard of Bob's death, he wrote, simply: "A life well-lived, which leaves behind uncountable good."
Bob's "uncountable good" lives on in Bob's family and the institutions he advocated for and supported. At the Cornell Lab, Bob is honored in many ways: by his unending friendships, his passion for birds, and the conservation programs he championed. As a small but immensely significant tribute to Bob, we've linked his name to the diminutive little bird he so admired; we've dedicated the White-breasted Nuthatch account in Birds of North America in his honor.
Scott Sutcliffe December 2011
We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Amanda Rodewald as the first Robert F. Schumann Faculty Fellow. Currently a professor of Wildlife Ecology at Ohio State University, Amanda will be coming here in January 2013 to begin her joint appointment as director of the Cornell Lab's Conservation Science program and professor in the Department of Natural Resources.

(Reuters) - The Philadelphia Flyers brought back a familiar face to help them fight for a playoff berth by acquiring left-winger Simon Gagne in a trade with the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.
The Flyers sent the Kings a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2013 draft that will improve to a third-round choice should they reach the playoffs with Gagne, who spent the first 10 years of his NHL career with Philadelphia.
Expected to be one of the top teams in the East, the Flyers have struggled to a 9-11-1 mark and were tied with Tampa Bay on 19 points, though the Lightning hold three games in hand to slot into the eighth and last playoff berth in the conference.
The Flyers have been in 16 of the last 17 Stanley Cup playoffs including two trips to the finals.
Gagne, 32, had five assists in 11 games with the Kings this season, but never really hit his stride after suffering an injury during the 2011-12 Stanley Cup championship season for Los Angeles.
The versatile forward has appeared in 772 career NHL games, scoring 283 goals and 586 points.

2008 Acura TSX - Chassis
TORRANCE, Calif. - Sep 12
The Acura TSX is more than Acura's entry sedan. It is a responsive, balanced, sharp-handling sports sedan that is designed to compete on equal terms with Europe's best -whether front-drive, rear-drive or all-wheel drive. This capability begins with impressive unit body stiffness, which allows the precise tuning of the double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension systems for maximum responsiveness, flat cornering, and high-speed stability.
Goals and Benchmarks
The ride, handling and stability targets for the Acura TSX were to be better than the most respected compact European sport sedans. This high performance level requires an especially stiff unit body structure to enhance ride and handling precision as well as crash safety. This robust structure makes it possible to tune the suspension for a responsive, satisfying sport driving experience-not to compensate for body flex and resonance.
In today's sophisticated sport sedan market, one of the greatest challenges is in finding a balance that offers sports-car like handling, reassuring high-speed stability and abundant comfort for passengers at all times. To accomplish this, Acura chose independent multi-link front and rear suspension with a combination of steel and aluminum components and specific geometry designed to control lift, dive and body roll. The result is exceptional dynamic performance and stability at all speeds, a very comfortable ride, and greater confidence and enjoyment for the driver and passengers. Even as it approaches its cornering limits, the TSX responds accurately to steering and throttle inputs.
Front Suspension
The TSX front suspension is a double-wishbone system with sport-tuned shock absorbers a stabilizer bar, and a shock-tower bar. The design provides quick response and precise suspension geometry control throughout its range of travel. This is evident when the TSX is driven hard through uneven or undulating corners. The car remains balanced and composed in an environment where even some premium European vehicles become unsettled.
Computer-developed front suspension geometry allowed TSX designers to build in subtle handling enhancements. The TSX has pronounced steering self-centering to improve high-speed stability and lane control. There is also an anti-dive aspect to the geometry to help keep the TSX from excessively pitching forward during hard braking, so the car feels more composed. Anti-lift aspects minimize excessive front end lift during hard acceleration. Subtle changes to front wheel alignment toe control while cornering and braking simultaneously further improve vehicle stability. A special compliance bushing located at the front of the front suspension subframe allows controlled fore-aft compliance under rough road conditions, netting improved ride quality.
Both front and rear suspension systems use coil-over shock absorbers that offer quick response and particularly high rebound damping rates, coupled with relatively firm coil springs. As the stiffer springs compress, this stronger shock absorber rebound damping is required to control the spring energy as it is released. Extensive on-road and racetrack testing in Europe, America and Japan was used to find the ideal suspension tuning balance between sporting performance and ride comfort.
Rear Suspension
In keeping with the goals of sporty handling for TSX, a 5-link rear suspension design is employed. The system utilizes an aluminum knuckle and double tubular wishbones. The light aluminum knuckle yields a weight reduction of more than 13 pounds while also providing 50-percent greater rigidity over iron. One benefit of the lighter knuckle is better ride quality and because it has less unsprung weight the suspension is more responsive to road roughness.
Like the front suspension, the rear system uses anti-dive geometry that helps keep the TSX stable-and the passengers more comfortable-during hard braking. Built-in toe control geometry helps optimize vehicle stability during corner turn-in, while a high level of roll stiffness, provided by a stabilizer bar, helps the TSX remain stable during hard cornering by minimizing body roll.
Acura engineers adjusted the rear suspension "roll center" (the theoretical axis around which the car "rolls" or leans while cornering) to be as close as practical to its center of gravity (the height at which the vehicle's weight is effectively centered). This enhances responsiveness and helps the TSX body to remain flat during sharp maneuvering.
Power Rack-and-Pinion Steering
The TSX quick-ratio power rack-and-pinion steering system was designed to reduce resistance in the system, improve linearity of steering response, and reduce steering-wheel kickback on rough roads. Here's how these objectives are accomplished.
P215/50R17 Tires
The standard P215/50R17 93V MXM4 M+S all-season high-performance tires on the TSX provide an impressive combination of ride and handling. Jointly developed by Acura and Michelin, these tires also promote fuel efficiency through reduced rolling resistance. The tires mount on nine-spoke 17x7-inch aluminum wheels to visually fill the wheel arches, giving the TSX a more aggressive, muscular appearance.
The TSX has 4-wheel disc brakes with large 11.8-inch ventilated front rotors and 10.2-inch solid rear rotors designed to provide exceptional braking feel. An anti-lock braking system is standard.
To achieve a solid brake pedal feel, engineers used three main strategies:
These components provide the TSX with a state-of-the-art braking system that delivers a firm, confidence inspiring pedal feel with excellent braking effect, even in severe conditions.
Electronic Brake Assist
The TSX features Electronic Brake Assist, which helps drivers apply full braking pressure during an accident avoidance situation. To do so, a microprocessor continually analyzes and "learns" the driver's normal braking habits-monitoring both the rate of pressure applied and the total pressure that the driver normally applies to the brake system.
If the driver suddenly applies the brakes, Electronic Brake Assist brings the system to full ABS activation to help stop the vehicle in the shortest distance possible. It is only activated when the microprocessor detects that certain brake pedal speed and pressure thresholds are reached.
Importantly, Electronic Brake Assist assists the driver in obtaining full braking performance in an emergency. The Electronic Brake Assist system deactivates when the driver releases pressure on the brake pedal.
Vehicle Stability Assist
Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) is standard on the Acura TSX. It uses anti-lock braking system (ABS) technology, together with lateral acceleration sensors, wheel-speed sensors, steering position sensors and a dedicated microprocessor to detect wheel slip experienced with understeer or oversteer. This helps the driver control the vehicle through a nearly instantaneous reduction in engine output (through the drive-by-wire throttle control) or the rapid pulsing application of one or more brakes as appropriate.
For example, if the driver enters a corner too quickly and the vehicle's front wheels begin to slip, VSA® almost instantly detects the situation and interprets it as understeer. VSA® then reduces engine torque and selectively applies the brake on the inner front and rear wheels to help counter the understeer and enhance the driver's control. The correction happens so quickly and seamlessly that the situation is often resolved before the driver is even aware of it.
Another potential scenario involves a traction loss at the rear wheels, such as might be encountered when cornering on a dirty road or when encountering black ice. VSA® detects the rear tires beginning to slip and quickly applies the outer front and rear brakes to counter the unwanted yaw motion and help restore control to the driver.
VSA® is armed automatically when the TSX starts. Any time the system is triggered, an instrument-panel-warning lamp alerts the driver that VSA® is operating. The system can be switched off completely via an instrument-panel-mounted switch.
The VSA® system also handles traction control functions, enabling the vehicle to start and climb hills on low-friction surfaces with much greater ability and control. It utilizes ABS technology to sense wheel spin on the front drive wheels, and then implements individual brake application and drive-by-wire throttle control to help restore traction. The benefit is greater security and active safety during winter snow driving or on other slippery surfaces including sand or water.

Solar Lights - Outdoor Landscape Lighting
Outdoor Landscape and Patio Lighting
Solar Lights are probably the easiest and most inexpensive way to light your yard, pathway, garden, pond, or swimming pool. Solar powered lights are generally inexpensive, but the biggest advantage is that you don't have to run any electrical wiring for them. As long as the solar panel gets direct sunlight, you can install most solar lights in about 15 seconds or less.
Solar lights store the sun's energy during the day and release that stored energy at night. Solar-powered lights are a perfect match for most situations. Solar lighting does not require any wiring, so you will not have to tear up any of your gardens, lawns, or landscaping. Because of the increasing popularity of solar lighting for accent and security, there is a larger variety of designs and styles available.
The older styles and types of solar lighting were dim and not particularly appealing. Solar lighting has come a long way, though. There is a surprising amount of light output, styles, and features available with the newer solar lighting. The dim incandescent bulbs used in older models of solar lighting have been replaced with high-tech, bright LED (light-emitting diode), fluorescent, and halogen bulbs. Solar-powered lights that use LED bulbs are the most efficient and provide the most hours of light when active at night. While you will not be able to read by a solar powered light, you can get up to ten hours of ambient light, particularly after a sunny day. LEDs are also the most popular and most effective bulbs for accent lighting and for marking pathways.

This book brings together scientific evidence and experience relevant to the practical conservation of bats. The authors worked with an international group of bat experts and conservationists to develop a global list of interventions that could benefit bats.
For each intervention, the book summarises studies captured by the Conservation Evidence project, where that intervention has been tested and its effects on bats quantified. The result is a thorough guide to what is known, or not known, about the effectiveness of bat conservation actions throughout the world.
Bat Conservation is the fifth in a series of synopses that will cover different species groups and habitats, gradually building into a comprehensive summary of evidence on the effects of conservation interventions for all biodiversity throughout the world.
By making evidence accessible in this way, we hope to enable a change in the practice of conservation, so it can become more evidence-based. We also aim to highlight where there are gaps in knowledge.
Evidence from all around the world is included. If there appears to be a bias towards evidence from northern European or North American temperate environments, this reflects a current bias in the published research that is available to us. Conservation interventions are grouped primarily according to the relevant direct threats, as defined in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)s Unified Classification of Direct Threats (www.iucnredlist.org/technical-documents/classification-schemes).
Readership level
This book is written for people who have to make decisions about how best to support or conserve biodiversity. You might be a land manager, a conservationist in the public or private sector, a farmer, a campaigner, an advisor or consultant, a policymaker, a researcher or someone taking action to protect your own local wildlife.
The synopses summarise scientific evidence relevant to your conservation objectives and the actions you could take to achieve them. We do not aim to make your decisions for you, but to support your decision-making by telling you what evidence there is (or isnt) about the effects that your planned actions could have.
