14.30 Well, that's it from the service. Everything his wrapped up, and most of the crowd left after Obama's speech. I'll leave you with Obama's words on the "man who changed mankind":
"We will never see the likes of Nelson Mandela again,. But let me say to the people of Africa, and young people around the world: You can make his life's work your own."
14.24 Peta Thornycroft in the stadium says:
Critical of those who made a noise during the memorial service for Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, took the microphone: "We want to say thank you to that world that came here today. So we must show that world we are disciplined. I want to hear a pin drop."
Speaking in Afrikaans and then several more South Africans languages, Archbishop Tutu said: "Now we are going to promise God that we are going to follow the example of Nelson Mandela'" And the remainder of the crowd in the drenched stadium, answered back with roars of approval.
For the first time in the day, Winnie Mandela, watching Archbishop Tutu bring the crowd into line, smiled.
And, so Nelson Mandela's rain-sodden memorial, dominated by President Obama's speech, came to an end.
14.00 Our Southern Africa correspondent Aislinn Laing is in the rain-soaked stadium, she was lucky enough to be under shelter, however not everyone was:
Punters outside the stadium were shivering and clutching their ANC and South African flags tight around them as they left.
"It's really cold and we're not used to it," said one, Grace Zwane, 39, a quality controller.
"It's because of the weather," said another, Swazi Tshabalala, 37, when asked about the empty seats. "We enjoyed it anyway, I think the tone was right because we were celebrating our icon's life."
"It was brilliant apart from the rain," said Mlungisi Lamola, 21, a student. "It was serious but there was an energy from the crowd that was fantastic."
All expressed their adoration for Obama, citing it as the highlight of the day.
"He reminds us of Madiba," said Viola Maliti, 37, a judge's secretary. "He was also the first black president. He may not have done much for Africa yet but there's still time."
Thato Makapa, 36, summed up the boos for President Zuma in one word: "Corruption. How can he stand on a podium and talk about our Madiba?"
13.57 And if you missed the Obama speech pundits are lauding as the best he's given since his election speech in 2008, here it is again in full:
13.52 A little more on that handshake between Obama and Castro.
Our foreign correspondent Colin Freeman writes:
Under diplomatic protocols established years ago, Cuba's president and Washington's representatives are rarely invited to the same events. If they do, the meeting is choreographed so that they are not likely to meet face to face.
The gesture - which comes despite half a century of hostilities - came as Mr Obama made his way to a podium to deliver a speech. It is only the second time ever that a US president has shaken the hands of a Cuban Communist leader. President Bill Clinton was the first to do so in 2000 after a lunch during a United Nations summit in New York, when he shook hands with Mr Castro's brother, Fidel.
On that occasion, the White House initially denied the handshake had taken place but later backtracked, saying it had been instigated by Mr Castro, who had approached Mr Clinton. Unlike the latest occasion, however, the exchange was not photographed.
13.36 Blair on the Zuma booing - Mandela was an extraordinary icon and politicians that come after are having to do the hard work on the ground.
13.32 Tony Blair tells the BBC that Mandela was able to stay on terms with leaders who might be enemies of each other because of his 'transcendant manner'. 'It was uncanny - his ability to reach people on an emotional level.'

13.23 President Zuma has finished speaking to a stadium more empty than full. Dignitaries are beginning to file out too.
13.21 Zuma announces that the theatre where Mandela will lie in state from tomorrow will be renamed after the former president.
13.16 Jacob Zuma has given a long speech, heavy on history, with a final flourish of 'continuing to build a country free of hunger, homelessness and inequality'.
13.01 You may have noticed the 95,000 capacity stadium is looking a little empty, Peta Thornycroft is in FNB:
The open stands in the stadium are almost empty as the rain continues pouring down and the temperature drops. The anti-Zuma group in the stadium apears to have left or gone quiet, and the pro-Zuma group is starting to sing and appears to be in the majority now.

Sweden's Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt
12.53 Zuma is up, he charges through the booing to greet Graca Machel and the Mandela family as well as heads of State. "We sing he is one of a kind, there is no one quite like him," he says. "The song is one of the most accurate descriptions of the global icon."
Whatever the relationship between Zuma and Mandela, South Africans say today is not a day for politics and Mandela would not have wanted for Zuma to be booed.
12.51 Wow, what is known as a praise singer has just taken the microphone to welcome Zuma. Essentially a warm-up man.
12.47 Pictures of some of the dignataries:
Afghan president Hamid Karzai
Spain's Prince Felipe
Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff
12.43 Meanwhile, in Oslo the Norwegian Nobel Committee has paid tribute to 1993 peace laureate Mandela, as it opened this year's prize ceremony.
12.42 Castro is now talking: "As Mandela's life teaches us, only the concerted efforts of all nations will empower humanity to respond to challenges." The crowd has thinned out even more, many leaving after Obama's speech.
12.35 We've making our way through the speeches, and Indian President Pranab Mukherjee is on the stage. The MC Ramaphosa has had to tell the crowd to quieten down again, as they are blowing vuvezelas and playing songs.
12.08 Alex Spiilius, our former Washington correspondent tells me today's handshake was the second only between the leaders of both country's since the start of the Cuban Revolution in 1960.
The last was at the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000, when Castro and Clinton spoke briefly at a group photo session and shook hands.
12.00 More of Obama's incredibly moving speech from our correspondent at the stadium Peta Thornycroft:
South Africa we can change that we can choose a world defined by our common hopes.......We will never see the likes of Nelson Mandela again..let me say to young people of Africa. you too can make his life your own. Over 30 years ago as a student I learned about Nelson Mandela..and the struggles in your land, it set me on an improbable journey that finds me here today, altho I will fall short of Madiba's example, he makes me want to be a better man.
"After this great liberator is laid to rest and we return ..to our daily routines let us search for his strength, his largeness of spirit ..let us think of Madiba..and the words that brought him comfort in his cell. It matters not how staright the game ...I am the the master of my fate I am the captain of my soul.... what a magnificent soul it was."
11.58 This is the momentous handshake between Obama and Castro. It is thought to be the first between them, and the first between the country in many years.
11.55 Commentators saying it was the best speech he has ever given and drew on the concept of change that was so prominent in his first election speech.
11.50 Obama has finished speaking, "God bless South Africa" he says. Everyone is on their feet.
11.48 Obama: "We will never see the likes of Mandela again. While I will always fall short of Madiba's example, he makes me want to be a better man."
11.47 Obama: "We cannot allow our progress to cloud the fact that our work is not done. In America and in South Africa and countries around the world...our work is not yet done"
11.43 Obama says Mandela earned his place in history through struggle, shrewdness, persistence and faith.
He's comparing Mandela to Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Lincoln.
11.33 Obama: "South Africa, the world thanks you for sharing Mandela with us.
"His struggle was your struggle. His triumph was your triumph. Madiba would emerge as as the last great liberator of the 21st century."
Obama eulogised Mandela as a "giant of history" who became more than a smiling icon by showing the power of political action.
he went on: "It is hard to eulogise any man ... how much harder to do so for a giant of history, who moved a nation towards justice.
"He goes on: "He was a man of flesh and blood. A son, a husband, a father, a friend."
11.28 Obama shaking hands with everyone. He was asked to take his seat just before reaching Mugabe. He then shook the hand of Cuban President Raul Castro in an unprecedented gesture between the leaders of two nations which have been at loggerheads for more than half a century.
11.20 Cyril Ramaphosa using his experience as an activist and mineworkers' leader of the 80s to calm crowd. He appeals for a bit of quiet and respect for Zuma. Politics has not taken a day off.
11.16 Here is Obama's earlier cheeky wave:
11.07 In contrast to reaction to Zuma's name being mentioned, there were big cheers when Mugabe's was read out.
11.06 We can see leaders mingling in the background. Bil Clinton was just seen shaking Nick Clegg's hand. It was a swift word and then on to the next.
11.02 Our correspondent in Johannesburg, Cole Moreton, has this:
Members of the Mandela family struggled to get through their speeches against the background noise. Cyril Ramaphose, master of ceremonies, pleads with the crowd to show discipline and not interrupt the speakers with cheers every time someone they like appears on the stadium screens, or angry boos in the case of President Zuma.
He is immediately interrupted himself by a massive cheer for as latecomer, waving at the camera with a goofy grin: President Barack Obama.
11.00 UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon takes the podium, raises his hand and waves to cheers from the audience. "South Africa has lost a hero, a father. The world has lost a beloved friend and mentor. Mandela was more than one of the greatest leaders of all time.
"This boxer fought throughout his life for each of us. It is the duty of all of us who loved him to keep his memory alive."
10.58 Applause erupts as people see Obama for the first time. He gets the biggest cheer of all.
10.48 The current speaker is General Thanduxolo Mandela, who is paying tribute on behalf of the Mandela family. "We had to share him with the whole of South Africa", he says. "His legacy leaves us all to carry on. In his lifetime, Madiba mingled with kings, queens and presidents, ordinary workers.
"Tata, a son of Africa. A child of the Thembu. A descent of great Kings. You will always be remembered."
10.45 If you're watching on TV and don't understand the boos - the FNB crowd is booing every time South Africa's President Zuma appears on the big screens up in the stadium.
10.41 Winnie Mandela, Mandela's ex wife, looking on at proceedings, wearing all black.
10.35 Mandela's friend and ANC comrade Andrew Mlangeni, 87, now speaking. He's very emotional. "He was an inspiration to billions by epitomising the values of sacrifice and patience. He created hope when was none," he says with a cracking voice. "I'm told my time is up..." Mr Mlangeni sits down as organisers try to keep to schedule.
Didier Drogba, the Galatasaray striker, paid trubute to the late Nelson Mandela
10.32 Commentators suggest the largest memorial service on this scale was at the state funeral of Jordan's King Hussein in 1999. The funeral was the largest gathering of royalty and world leaders since 1995.
10.30 Baleka Mbete, National Chairperson of the ANC, bursts into song: "Nelson Mandela, Nelson Mandela... Tata Madiba, Tata Madiba."
10.20 Obama has only just left his hotel in "The Beast" apparently. He'd better hurry as he's needed on the main stage soon.
10.09 There are now inter-faith prayers, with representatives from Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein begins."His long walk is over and ours is only beginning," he says. "Receive we beseech you in your great loving kindness Nelson Rolihlala Mandela. Remember him for the rioutousness he has done...."
10.03 ANC deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa is speaking, he apologises for the rain, but says this is a blessing for Africans. "We were not able to stop the rain," he says. "These are blessings, and in our African tradition, when it rains when you are buried the gods are welcoming you"
10.01 One of our reporters in the stadium, Peta Thornycroft, says there was quite a lot of booing from the stands for President Zuma, commentators say it's a sign of things to come.
09.55 Zimbabwe's Mugabe has just arrived - with quite a few bodyguards. No sign of Obama yet, but someone who received a warmer welcome...
Charlize Theron talks to Bono
09.48 The service is running 45 minutes, which is no surprise when you consider what a logistical nightmare it must be to get the tens of thousands of mourners into the stadium and get the nearly 100 heads of state in place.
Also, there are reports some dignatories are stuck in traffic:
09.40 Francois Hollande, French PM, and his predecessor, Sarkozy, have arrived together despite Telegraph reports Sarkozy reportedly snubbed Hollande's invitation to share his French presidential jet to to the service as he would have had to slum it in business class while Hollande slept in his lush private suite.
09.30 Peta Thorncroft, who is in the stadium, says Cyril Rama
phosa, exepcted to be the next president of South Africa, after Jacob Zuma is now starting to welcome the CIP's from the podium.
Graca Machel enters the stadium slowly, with a furrowed brow, looking devastated.
China's vice president Lee arrives, and he welcomes president Cuba's president Raol Castro to massive applause. Mandela's ex-wife Winnie has arrived. She is dressed somberly, all in black, walking with her daughter Zindzi.
09.28 Everyone is seated now and the choir are singing "Oh Lord let your will be done"
Former South African president Thabo Mbeki and his wife Zanele
Former South African president FW De Klerk arrives with his wife Elita
09.00 The service is due to start and still a lot of empty seats.
08.44 The first casualty of the rain... the fly past from the south african defence force has had to cancel due to the weather
08.36 One of the loudest cheers so far has been for Charlize Theron, the South African actress.
08.25 Reporter Peta Thornycroft in Joburg says Robert Mugabe is in South Africa but has not yet arrived at the stadium. Many expect he will be cheered loudly when he arrives, although Mandela made it clear, openly, he did not like Mugabe's "antics" as he called them within the region. Mandela tried, behind the scenes, to persuade regional leaders to pressure Mr Mugabe to ease up on the the opposition.
08.22 Obama has just arrived. The sheer number of world leaders in one place is unprecented, as our correspondent at the stadium points out:
08.13 It's raining in Johannesburg, Quite hard. But the mood at the stadium is more of a party than a wake, with vuvezulas sounding. People say it was his time and now they are celebrating his life. However, Cameron didn't seem to get the message and is wearing a black tie.
08.08 There's an hour before the service starts and people are just finding seats:
And some of the VIP seats on the main stage:
08.02 Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey and singer Bono, as well as British billionaire Richard Branson and musician Peter Gabriel are also expected to be among the celebrity mourners.
07.48 Our feature writer, Cole Moreton is in Johannesburg:
He says David Cameron has just arrived at the stadium.
07.45 Aislinn Laing, our Southern Africa correspondent, along with feature writer Neil Tweedie, are at the stadium waiting for the memorial to begin.
When we came in to FNB this morning, people were already streaming towards the gates and there was chaos when the gates opened at 6am and those waiting went charging through.
But with just two hours to go until the start of the service, the FNB stadium is still four fifths empty, with most of the crowds clustered under the covered portion of the stands in a bid to avoid an unseasonable drizzle which has cloaked Soweto in recent days.
While people are still trickling in, it's looking like the rain coupled with the government's insistence that the event did not necessitate a public holiday might mean there will, unthinkably, be empty seats when it starts.
Some of the first people to arrive at the 95,000-seat FNB Stadium sing and dance
07.20 Some of the most notable absences will be Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Russia's Vladimir Putin. Fresh off a series of scandals over his high-flying lifestyle and expensive habits, Israel's prime minister said he will skip the funeral due to the high cost of the trip.
Israeli media heavily has this morning criticised Netanyahu for not attending. Some commentators are calling the Israeli official conduct a "disgrace" and "farce".
Putin, who will not be attending, paid tribute to the late former South African President Nelson Mandela as he visited South Africa's embassy in Moscow
All eyes will also be on Obama and Castro to see whether they can forget their differences for the day and shake hands.
07.10 To give up an idea of the order of service, proceedings are due to begin at 11am SAST, or 9am GMT. It will start with the choir singing the national anthem. There will be a payer, followed by some tributes from friends and family. The UN chief Ban ki-Moon is first to speak, then then African Union chair. Then there will be tributes by foreign dignataries, including Obama, Brazil's Rousseff, China's VP, and the Indian and Cuban presidents.
No European leaders have been invited to speak. One of our Africa correspondents, Mike Pflanz points out:
It strikes me that no-one is talking much about the choice of who is to give speeches at today's memorial. Among Mandela's family, all of those who will talk are his grandchildren, in their 20s, clearly signalling that this will be a memorial less about memory of history and more about looking to the future. Equally, look at the world leaders invited to talk.
Yes, there is Raul Castro from Cuba, whose brother Fidel spent the Cold War supporting a host of African independence struggles, including South Africa's against apartheid. But many of the rest of those who will give speeches lead the countries that make up the new developing world trade block, BRICS: Brazil, India and China, which South Africa (the 'S') joined in 2011. India buys more coal from South Africa than anywhere else, and works its gold into jewellry and polishes its diamonds.
India buys more coal from South Africa than anywhere else, and works its gold into jewellry and polishes its diamonds. China, which ignored South Africa for years when it supported Taiwan, is now the country's largest trading partner. Aside from Barack Obama, no Western leaders will talk. Equally, no African head of state will speak, apart from Jacob Zuma and the president of Namibia (the last African country to gain independence, in 1990, from South Africa, interestingly). From the line-up of speakers alone, it would seem that organisers want today's ceremonies to be as much about South Africa's economic future as its political past.
While our Southern African correspondent, Aislinn Laing, says the Mandelas who are speaking are also all under 25 - perhaps another indication that they're looking to the next generation and the future.
07.07 Mandela's coffin will not be brought to the stadium, he will lie in state in Pretoria until his burial on Sunday in his rural childhood village of Qunu in Eastern Cape.
07.03 US President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama flew into South Africa overnight, sharing Air Force One with their predecessors - George W Bush and his wife Laura - as well as a potential successor: Hillary Clinton.
Obama is due to speak later during the memorial. The comparisons are perhaps inevitable. Obama and Mandela each served as their nation's first black president, living symbols of struggles to overcome deep-seated racial tensions. Each was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
0800 Good morning and welcome to our liveblog. Rain is falling as tens of thousands of mourners converge on FNB Stadium in Soweto, the Johannesburg township that was a stronghold of support for the anti-apartheid struggle that Mandela embodied.
The 95,000-capacity soccer venue was also the spot where Mandela made his last public appearance at the closing ceremony of the 2010 World Cup.

Check our out full written review of the Samsung Galaxy S3.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 was a turning point for Samsung. While the company has long been inching its way up the ladder of phone makers, the success of the S2 and 'Galaxy' brand of devices gave the company a huge boost, even helping Samsung overtake Nokia to become the top phone maker in the world in the first few months of 2012. If that doesn't seem like an accomplishment, change your reading glasses. Nokia has been the top phone maker in the world since 1998. In the cell phone market that pretty much means, Nokia has always been the top dog. Its dethroning is a huge sign of the times, but also puts major pressure on Samsung. Last week, it unveiled the highly anticipated Galaxy S3 at an event in London. At CTIA this week, we finally got a chance to check out Samsung's next big phone. Our impressions are below.
Is it designed by human emotion? Maybe!
Samsung's marketing claims that the Galaxy S3 was "designed for humans and inspired by nature." The phone is also supposed to embody human emotion. We're not sure about these lofty claims, but it certainly got us excited. The S3 looks and feel very modern and quite comfortable. The best phone we can compare it to would be the HTC One X, which is clearly the phone that Samsung is trying to beat (aside from the iPhone 4S). Both devices are about the same size, with screens just under 5 inches and top-notch specs and cameras. From a pure construction standpoint, the One X definitely feels a bit more premium than the entirely plastic Galaxy S3, so if you're a stickler for top-notch materials, you may opt for HTC. Having said that, as much as we criticize Samsung's heavy and continuous use of shiny lightweight plastic shells and battery covers, Galaxy phones keep flying off shelves. Perhaps people just don't care. We must admit, there doesn't appear to be a huge downside to it from a user perspective.
The Galaxy S3 comes in a navy-ish blue or white. We tried out the white version and found it quite comfortable for a phone with a 4.8-inch screen. There are times when it's still a bit large, but thanks to a smaller bezel and thin 8.6mm frame, it feels relatively comfortable in the hand. As always, many people will find phones like this just a bit too big to be comfortable. There are smaller devices on the market, but unlike HTC, which made smaller versions of its One X, Samsung seems to be sticking with one design, and its big.
The phone does run on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), but it has been heavily modified with a new version of Samsung's TouchWiz user interface. This version has a lot of water and water droplet sounds, likely to conform to the new nature theme. The overall effect is pretty gimmicky, but luckily, the phone is responsive and fast. (Check out the Galaxy S3's full tech specs.)
Features, oh the features
It took the Samsung rep a good 10 to 15 minutes to run me through all of the new features in the Galaxy S3, and he didn't even get into S-Voice and many others. This phone is packed full of new abilities. You probably won't ever use most of them — like AllShare and a new version of Android Beam, which lets you tap phones together to share video — but there are a surprising number of features that actually improve the user experience.
In our testing, we loved the new "Smart stay" feature, for example. Typically, when you're reading a Web page on a smartphone, you have to periodically move the screen a bit to keep it awake. It's an annoyance we've all grown accustomed to dealing with. Smart stay keeps the phone screen awake while the screen is idle by using the front camera to see if there is someone staring directly at the screen. If there is, it stays on. Very cool.
Another feature lets you lift up the phone to your ear while you're texting somebody to automatically call them. The camera and accelerometer detect the upward motion and make the call automatically. Samsung also has an exclusive on the first Android version of Flipboard — one of our favorite iPad apps.
Some of the S-Voice functions are also neat. We weren't able to get it working well due to the noise on the show floor, but you can wake up your phone by saying "Hi Galaxy" and perform some other simple tasks with voice commands. Want to snooze? Just say "snooze." It's not as robust as Siri on the iPhone, but the voice features that are integrated are built in pretty well.
There are also pretty features that you'll never use. Samsung has built in a lot of gestures into the phone. For example, you can wipe your hand across the screen to take a screenshot of the phone, and you can minimize a video you're watching with a push of a button and move it around while you do other things. These are fun things to show to friends, but we doubt most of you will use them often, if at all.
A good camera, but not quite the best
With the camera, Samsung seems to be desperately trying to outdo HTC's awesome One X camera experience, but it isn't quite there yet. The 8-megapixel rear camera's photos are good enough, but not quite up to the level of HTC's One phones, and it lacks some of the high-end features that HTC's dedicated ImageSense chip provides. The burst mode, for example, tries to pick the best shot and can shoot a bunch of pictures at once, but it just doesn't work as well or fast as the One.
You also cannot record video and take pictures at the same time (a feature we like). (Update: An astute reader pointed out that recording video and shooting pictures simultaneously is possible, though the feature is only accessible if you toggle to the video mode of the camera app.)
The phone tries to recognize faces in pictures as well, and will let you tag photos, much like Facebook. After you tag a photo, you can instantly send it out to everyone who is in it, which is neat. Supposedly, the S3 can learn faces over time as well, but its efforts at the show weren't impressive. If you tilt your face the wrong way, the S3 can't seem to tell that you're the same person. It will take a few more iterations of this concept before it works well.
So much more to explore…
We really didn't get enough time to fully explore the S3, but from what we've seen, Samsung has packed as much into this phone as possible to ensure it's a hit. It's not taking any chances here. While we doubt that the S3 will overtake the iPhone anytime soon, HTC is going to have a tough fight ahead of it. There is no word yet on Galaxy S3 pricing, release dates, or which carriers it will appear on, but we expect a wide rollout on most major US carriers in the coming months.
Update: The Galaxy S3 US release pricing and info has come out. It will be released on AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, and US Cellular in June for $200. Despite manufacturing issues, Pebble blue will be a part of the launch. Also, if you haven't read our huge, in-depth comparison between the HTC One X and Galaxy S3, give it a read.

Coverage of today's Cards and Mets game can be heard on Newstalk 97.3 WTIM beginning at 6:40pm.
St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Allen Craig went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the New York Mets, 6-2, in the opener of a three-game set. Jon Jay posted two hits and scored three runs, while Matt Adams had a run-scoring triple among his two hits and two RBI for the red-hot Cardinals, who have won four straight and seven of their last eight games. Nick Greenwood (1-0) was credited with the victory after tossing 3 1/3 innings of one-run ball in place of starter Carlos Martinez, who yielded an unearned run on two hits and four walks over four frames. Seth Maness notched his first save of the season after recording the final four outs. Jacob deGrom (0-4) was shelled for six runs on 12 hits and two walks over 4 1/3 frames for New York, which has dropped 10 of its last 13 contests. The game was tied 1-1 before the Cardinals plated a run in the third inning and four more in the fifth. Jay hit a one-out single in the third and after Matt Holliday flied out to right, Craig lined a base hit to left-center to put runners on the corners. Adams dumped a single into right to bring home Jay, but Craig was later thrown out at the plate on Yadier Molina's base hit through the hole on the left side. Jay cracked a one-out double in the fifth before coming around to score on Holliday's single into left-center for a 3-1 lead. Craig then scorched a double down the left-field line to score Holliday and Adams tripled into the right-field corner to bring home Craig. After Molina walked, Jhonny Peralta lined a base hit to right to score Adams and make it 6-1. Chris Young's RBI single in the eighth cut the deficit to 6-2. Earlier, Craig's RBI base hit in the first opened the scoring and Curtis Granderson lifted a sacrifice fly to center in the third to knot the contest. Game Notes The Cardinals were 6-for-9 with runners in scoring position, while New York finished 2-for-8 with RISP and left seven men on base ... Craig has 14 doubles and 37 RBI on the year.

There are various ways to trim basic curtains to obtain many different styles and themes. Basic curtains can be adapted to become feminine and frilly, grand and theatrical or sophisticated and smart, to name but a few. These effects can be created using an array of the following methods.
Plain curtains can have borders of braid that contrast with them attached or complementary borders, made from fabric, can be inset into the layeris leading edge. In both of these instances it's very important to get the dimensions spot-on. A good rule to follow is the fact that the width of the braid should be approximately the same as the width of the layer border. Borders can be applied to both the bottom and the leading edge of your basic curtains but it is important to cautiously mitre the corners so you end up with a professional looking end.
It's feasible to trim the leading, central edges of curtains especially White Curtain Panels in a variety of ways. The most common method that's employed is to use a frill that either matches or contrasts with the fabric of the layer. This approach can be varied by adding numerous extras, one which matches and one which contrasts or one that is plain and one that's patterned. In case your curtains possess a rounded corner it's possible to extend a frill from the top of the corner to the base of the curtain and it is also feasible to add piping that ties the fringe of the frill to the leading edge of the layer. It's feasible to show your leading edges into anything more chic by employing fan pleats that extend along the layeris leading edge so that they don't collect dirt in the pleat pockets. Picot edging can also be created using a pico braid, or by creating overlapping fabric triangles that are attached to the leading edge. This is an extremely elegant effect but it is quite difficult to achieve and may be a bit beyond the reach of the inexperienced layer maker.

Dear Scott,
The answers are:
Language Awareness:
1. c some eggs. Egg is a countable noun, whereas the other three are uncountable.
2. b. gulp. To gulp is to eat or drink food or liquid quickly and in large amounts, whereas the other three means only to drink an amount of liquid.
3. b. You don't have to wear a suit. This sentence means 'you are not required to', whereas the other three mean 'you are prohibited to'.
4. b. He was drunk by 6 o'clock. 'By' here followed by an expression of time, whereas the other three 'by' followed by a doer or an agent of the action.
Anticipating Learner's difficulties:
1. All these five phrases show different degrees of certainty, from the least certain (may well go) to the most certain/definite (will definitely go). Students, particularly if English is their second language, often find this difficult to understand.
2. All these three sentences are idioms. Students may translate the meaning of an idiom word for word, which of course will not make any sense, since an idiom is a group of words in a fixed order that have a particular meaning that is different from the meanings of each word understood on its own.
3. certain adjectives can only go with certain prepositions. This is called collocations. For example, students may say 'interested with' instead of 'interested in', or 'keen about' instead of 'keen on'.
I hope these explanations answer your questions.
Good luck on your CELTA course!

A ciliate feeding on another ciliate
Didinium, a raptorial-feeding ciliate, is here caught feeding on a tintinnid ciliate. The barrel-shaped didinium has stuck its mouth end into the open side of the tintinnid lorica and is feeding on the tintinnid cell. Both ciliates are about 100 microns in size. Microscopic life can be rough, eh?

If I had a dollar for every time someone (OK.
If I had a dollar for every time someone (OK. Maybe me) has said that to my son, I'd have enough money to go on that girls only cruise ;). Sometimes it really does fits the situation though.
Like this past Sunday. We were in the middle of church when a very worried Logan tapped me on the shoulder.
Mom! Mom!"
What Logan?"
Mom, Houston shoved a mint up his nose!"
*That got my attention*
I looked over at Houston who had a big smile on his face. He also had his finger shoved up his nose.
I picked him up and went to grab a friend of mine who is a nurse. At that point I could smell
the mint that was starting to melt in his nose! Thankfully he hadn't managed to shove it too far up there, and with one good blow, if flew out of his nostril and into my hand. Houston started crying, not because he was in any pain, but because I had thrown away his mint!!
After church my mom took my dad and the family out to the new Hibachi Sushi Buffet in South Town Plaza, to celebrate Father's Day. At first I thought that I was in my own little heaven with all that food, and so did my gang. But afterward I was stuffed and still
felt full that night. Blah! No one
woman should eat as much food as I did that day. No really...It was bad!
Lesson learned: Never let this chunky girl loose at a buffet. She WILL eat her money's worth.
Early that evening, we went back to my parent's house for dessert *Why Lord? Why?*
And to just hang out. I don't know if it was the mass amounts of food that he consumed or what, but at one point Houston thought it would be a good time to take off his clothes...
*Sigh* Add another dollar to my "Mommy needs a vacation" fund.
It feels like he went from my sweet little baby to this goofy toddler overnight!
Have a crazy toddler? I can't be the only one ;) Come tell us about him/her in the Moms of Toddlers group.

BALTIMORE – A year ago, the UMBC cross country squads both made noticeable strides from the year before. Despite losing two scorers from the 2011 America East Championships, the men's team jumped five spots and finished in third place at the 2012 meet, the squad's best finish since winning the league in 2005. The women, meanwhile, were able to establish a core group of scorers, all of whom return again this fall.
This experience bodes well for the Retrievers, especially considering head coach Matt Gittermann has brought in a talented class of runners to help put his teams over the top. The sixth-year head man likes the make-up of his team and their chances to accomplish something special this season.
"I think that there is a lot to get excited about with both teams this year," said Gittermann. "For the men, they are going to be competing for a conference title for the first time in a while, and the women are probably putting their best team out there in recent history, if not school history.
"Individually we have four to five men who could legitimately be top-ten in the conference along with a couple of women we hope can finish in the top-15."
Although the men's last championship came in 2005, this group looks poised for a breakout with 2012 All-Conference runner Brandan McGee (Hiram, Ohio/Crestwood) leading the way. After qualifying for the NCAA East Regionals in the 3,000m steeplechase during his sophomore outdoor track season, the senior led UMBC throughout the 2012 cross country schedule, pacing the squad a team-high five times, including his seventh-place finish at the conference race. As a junior, McGee broke the school record at the 5k (15:17.20) and 6k (24:45.65) distances and sits second all-time for the 10k (31:29.35).
McGee is not alone, however, as all four of the Retrievers' other scorers from the America East race also return. Senior Tom Eldridge (Rocky River, Ohio/Rocky River), a 15th-place finisher at the conference meet, who scored a total of four times last season, returns for a final season, along with classmate Jake Albino (Hampton, N.Y./Minisink Valley) who sits just behind McGee with his top 5k-time (15:31.80) and also holds a spot in the top-ten for the 8k and 10k distances. Sixteenth-place finisher Eric Schuler (Columbia, Md./Reservoir) looks to continue his progression after scoring four times and leading the Black and Gold at the Mason Invitational.
In addition, sophomore Hassan Omar (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson), the America East champion in the outdoor 10,000m and 20th-place finisher at the XC meet, is back along with Redatu Semeon (Waldorf, Md./Thomas Stone), who placed second in the steeplechase at the outdoor track conference meet.
But while the third-place finish was a step up for the Retrievers in 2012, Gittermann believes his squad is ready for a bigger challenge.
"I think the big thing for us is that I didn't have to tell the team that although our finish was great last year, we didn't really accomplish anything," Gittermann reflected. "They know there is more out there for them and they need to work harder to get it because no team is going to hand it to them."
To aid the push to the top of the conference standings, the Retrievers have added a class of seven athletes who look to challenge the incumbents. Freshmen Patrick Duboyce (New Market, Md./Linganore) and Jon Luckin (Parkton, Md./Hereford) both bring state championship experience to the already deep Retriever lineup.
"Semeon should be a top-three runner for us after probably being the fastest runner to not make the conference in school history," Gittermann said. "Pat Duboyce and Jon Luckin are freshmen who could make a huge impact on the team."
The UMBC women's team takes on a similar make-up as the men, having graduated no runners from last year's conference scoring squad, and returning a strong core of scorers. Senior captain Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) led the Retrievers at four competitions last season and recorded the sixth-fastest time at the 5k distance with her run of 18:21.16 at the conference championships. Fellow senior Kirsten McGovern (Sykesville, Md./Century) is also back after pacing the squad for the first time in her career at the Towson Invitational and recording the seventh-fastest 5k school time of 18:38.43 at New Hampshire.
After a cross country season in which she was the only UMBC runner to score in every race, Nicole Dawson (Jessup, Md./Hammond) continued her success into the track season where she, along with classmate Harmony Roche (Millersville, Md./Severn School), both qualified for the ECAC 10k event. Established veterans Julie Gessler (Ellicott City, Md./Institute of Notre Dame), UMBC's top runner at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regionals, Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion), and co-captain Mary Katherine Kulp (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal) return to provide leadership for the Retrievers.
"The women's team could develop into one of the best teams in school history," Gittermann said. "The returners are looking to raise the level of their training and thus their finish by changing their own personal definitions of what they believe fast is."
A group of seven newcomers also joins the fray and hopes to boost the Retrievers up from last year's eighth-place finish. The group includes freshman Sarah Zielinski (Boonsboro, Md./Boonsboro) who led her high school to a sweep of the cross country and track and field state championships in 2012-13.
"Add into our team a solid group of freshmen who could and should make a big impact and this is the deepest team that we have put on the line," said Gittermann. "While the base of the team is the same… I think they have changed so much in between last year and now that this is almost a completely different set of athletes."
For a large team, it is important to have strong captains and leadership. With two of the four captains returning to their role from last year in Vinny DiSalvo (Washingtonville, N.Y./Washingtonville) and Mezebish, in addition to veterans such as Eldridge, senior Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) and Kulp, Gittermann believes that the teams will gel. Add in another set of leaders and the head man is confident his team can produce good results this year and in the future.
"The captains are valuable because they understand what we, as a team, are trying to accomplish competitively, but also the team culture as well," Gittermann said. "All of them are good at holding all members of the team accountable for their actions, preparations, and performances.
"But what really makes this team special is a secondary group of leaders who were not designated captains, but are equally good at leading. I think this has given us not only a strong leadership group, but hopefully some continuity as our more veteran captains move on after this year."
The UMBC cross country teams open their 2013 season with the America East Pre-Conference Meet at Binghamton on Saturday, Sept. 7.

I found some organic, unsweetened coconut at our local bulk food store and had to buy it because I had seen a recipe for macaroons in my library book,
"Baking at Home" from the Culinary Arts Institute. It really is a nicely written book and helps even the most basic baker with the most basic baking methods.
So, I set out to make the coconut macaroons today, which is 84 degrees F, but feels like 95 with the humidity. Luckily, the recipe only takes about 20 minutes to make and the dough comes together relatively quickly.
The thing I like about this recipe is that there is none of that overly sweet sweetened-condensed milk in them. The recipe is pretty simple if you have coconut and an orange, you probably have everything else needed to make them. I may dip them in chocolate next time, but this time, we are enjoying the nice citrus flavor with the coconut.
So, here is the recipe as I have adapted it from the CIA cookbook. The first batch I made was a bit too hard for my liking. I enjoy the center soft and the outside chewy.
1 cup sugar (divided)
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour3 1/2 c. shredded unsweetened coconut
6 large egg whites2 tsp grated orange zest
2 tsp vanilla extract
Makes about {25 macaroons} {This was my change. I made them bigger so they would stay softer inside. The CIA says you should make about 32}
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line cookie sheet with {silpat} or parchment paper. Combine 1/3 cup of the sugar with the flour and set aside.
Combine the remaining 2/3 cup sugar, the coconut, and the egg whites on the top of a double boiler and stir for 3 minutes. {I just put them in a pot and stirred constantly over low heat until the ingredients came together. A double boiler is not necessary if you are sure to use really low heat} Remove from heat. Fold in the flour mixture, orange zest and vanilla extract.
Drop tablespoonfuls of batter {I liked them on the bigger side (1 1/2 Tbsp) because they stayed softer} onto the cookie sheets spacing them 2-inches apart and shaping into neat mounds. {I didn't space them two inches apart. I put them about 1/2 an inch from each other and they cooked just fine and didn't spread at all. This way, I could bake them quicker on a hot day by fitting them all on one cookie sheet}
In batches, bake until the macaroons are a light golden brown on the outside, but still soft enough to give slightly when you press on them with your fingertip, 20-25 minutes. {start checking at 15 minutes because if you make them on the smaller side, they will be done quickly.} Transfer macaroons to a wire rack to cool completely.
{Enjoy one while they are still warm!}
If you are interested in the book, you can check your library or buy it here. I have enjoyed everything I've made from it so far.

I can't function without my morning wake-me-up coffee. But now that I'm pregnant, can I still have my cup of coffee every morning?
– Dipti
Check with your doctor about caffeine intake during your pregnancy. One cup of coffee is usually OK, but it's best to not have more than that. It's hard to know exactly how much caffeine is in a cup of coffee, since it depends on factors like the brand of coffee and the size of the cup.
Studies indicate that caffeine consumption of more than 150–200 milligrams a day (about 1–2 cups of coffee) may put a pregnancy at higher risk. High caffeine consumption has been linked to an increased risk of having a low birth-weight baby or miscarriage.
If you're having a hard time cutting back on coffee cold turkey, here's how you can start:

Made in Calgary: The 1960s
February 23 – April 28, 2013
This exhibition is the first installment of a year-long celebration of artists who have lived, worked and created in Calgary over the last 50 years. Independent writer and curator Mary Beth LaViolette has curated Made In Calgary: The 1960s as a rich showcase of works depicting a period of intense artistic and cultural change in the city.
At the beginning of the Sixties, Calgary had a population of close to a quarter-million people; by the end of the decade its population was approaching 400,000. The city's visual arts community was a multi-generational one where connections ran deep between its senior artists, many of whom were born before 1918, and a younger generation. Joining this cadre of artists were the newcomers who brought new influences and approaches to the making of art in the city.
Together, these communities would create a rich art scene – a scene that was current, in touch with developments in the Canadian and international art worlds, and in tune with the cultural and social ferment that defines the decade. Its members would exhibit beyond the provincial borders, winning the attention of a wider audience.
Organized into three separate themes – Couples, Newcomers, and Friends and Colleagues — Made in Calgary: The 1960s surveys the decade through paintings, original prints, sculpture, ceramics and textile art created by local artists. Works by Marion Nicoll, W.L. Stevenson, Janet Mitchell, John Hall, Luke Lindoe, Greg Arnold and many others resonate with the artistic and cultural flavour of the Sixties in Calgary.
The exhibit also examines the efforts of the Glenbow Foundation (Glenbow's predecessor) to support the visual arts in Calgary in that period by encouraging and supporting the development of artists such as Gerald Tailfeathers, Annora Brown and Alex Janvier.
This first installment of Made in Calgary, which includes works drawn from Glenbow's collection, other public collections such as the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the Nickle Arts Museum, The City of Calgary's collection and the Art Gallery of Alberta as well as private collections, begins to unveil the uniqueness of the visual arts community in our city.

Never was a quitter
Nobody knows what happened to Trcika before she was found with broken fingers. Although only three months old, she was decisive and fearless from the beginning.
The vet put a splint on her leg as soon as she arrived and she had to wear it for six weeks. Nonetheless, it didn't affect her behaviour, she was strong willed and undaunted and showed no respect for anyone. She has always lived by her own standards. Whenever she had a tussle with another cat, she would use her splint as a pole.
Trcika is now fully recovered, stubborn and self reliant as usual. She's definitely not impressed with older cats, yet gets along well with everyone. She is always up to something and has a sparkling, mischievous look in her eyes. Lively, inquisitive and charming, she is simply irresistible.

Hi Filiberto,
That's strange, yes, but one can safely assume that the MET owns a much larger data bank than us, mere "dilettanti".
The carpet which you illustrated was published in the catalog of the 314th Fritz Nagel Auction, 1986, # 3330. They attributed indeed the rug to the Afshar, end of XIX or early XX century. Their comment (loosely translated from German by your servant) is interesting, although it rather further increases the viscosity of the molasses: "At first sight, the strongly personal abstract field motif ....is reminiscent of the complex motifs of the Morgi clan of the Afshar.....Apparentl y the artfully imbricated motif represents simplified animals..". Nagel's expert sees also a strong analogy with two thirteenth century rugs published by Erdman in his "Geschichte des frühen türkischen Teppich", one was attributed to Konya (FIG 4) and the other is a fragment found at Beysehir (FIG 9).
I don't own Erdman's book and can't check it, but perhaps these rugs induced the MET to attribute a Turkish passport to its own fragment?
Anyway, this Caucaso-Perso-Turko-Mudejar rug, is superb isn't? I 'd love to own it.
Best regards
P.S. Congrats for your outstanding visual memory.
|March 4th, 2013 02:48 PM
|Filiberto Boncompagni
Hi Pierre,
The strange thing is that METs web page says The interlocking hooked motifs (probably stylized vines), in particular, connect it to later carpets from western Anatolia.
I checked my copy of Uwe Jordans book Turchi and your database that has more than 500 examples of Turkish carpets: I didnfind a single example of this motif.
And Stone mentions only Caucasus and Persia in relation to it.
So, I had also a look at the Persian database. There I was luckier, I found this Afshar (Persian.Afshar.13.X IX.149X124.N314.jpg)
out of around 390 image. Here the motif is in the field.
|March 4th, 2013 12:16 PM
|Pierre Galafassi
Bravo, George!
That leaves the origin of this motif (or at least the place were this rug was woven), wide open:
Anatolia ?, Caucasus ? (At the date of the painting the Black Sea was still easily accessible to Venetian / Genoan ships and Caucasian rugs could easily have been imported from there, via Trebzond or Tana) or Spain / Aragon (given the nationality of the painter and the claim by experts that Mudejar weavers frequently opted for yellow field backgrounds).
Best regards

Indeed, it could be identical.
I'll try to find a better view of Martorell's painting.
|March 1st, 2013 11:08 AM
|Filiberto Boncompagni
Hi George,
The image has a very low resolution, but I think you are right!
|March 1st, 2013 10:46 AM
|George Potter
Noticed that fig. 61 of the Salon has the same border. B. Martorell, 1437-1442, St. Peters altar, Girona. Spain.
/ George
|February 20th, 2013 08:11 AM
|Filiberto Boncompagni
About the possible Caucasian origin of the fragment, that's the classical one million dollars question, isn't it?
Thank you again for bringing the MET fragment up!
|February 19th, 2013 10:11 PM
|Pierre Galafassi
|February 19th, 2013 08:26 PM
|George Potter
Hmm , please elaborate because you lost me.
To me the design in the fragment seems to derive more from a floral origin, if not I would put my bet on birds.
It is also difficult to determine the date of the MET fragment and the Anatolian fragment, both in time and design.
Thank you for the Stone reference. I have the same book but completely missed the design. Interesting that the design is horizontal in the field and not vertical, the vertical is more common. Can the Veramin attribution of your sample be challenged? Looking through my literature (which is scant) the design of the fragment, through your guidance, seems firmly based in Caucasia. If this could be affirmed by research (guesstimation), and the MET fragment is C14 dated, it would be the oldest affirmed weaving from Caucasia and could also question many Anatolian affirmed attributions.
Am I am aiming too high?
/ George
|February 18th, 2013 04:25 PM
|Pierre Galafassi
Hi George and Filiberto,
The fragment below, given as Anatolian, XV century, could be seen as a parent of the MET fragment and Stones' rug: a field fully covered with a unique small motif, which could be inspired by a beast (dragon ?) too.
Anatolia. 15th century. Turkish handwoven Carpets. Vol. 1
best regards
|February 18th, 2013 01:14 PM
|Filiberto Boncompagni
P.S. - Stone adds some references to his plate P-87, the one that portrays the field of the above rug:
Christies East Oriental Rugs and Carpets, June1981, pl. 124
Craycraft, Michael, Oriental Rug Review, vol. 9, no. 6, p. 15 Stone Collection
Tanavoli, Parviz, Hali, no. 106, p. 93
|February 18th, 2013 10:56 AM
|Filiberto Boncompagni
Hi George,
There is another image in Stone's book that I have overlooked. "Varamin rug" page 224
Obviously a design, not a photo. For that, ask Mr. Stone.
|February 17th, 2013 03:09 PM
|Filiberto Boncompagni
|Silly of me! Also "Motif C-99" has the inward beaks!
|February 17th, 2013 03:05 PM
|Filiberto Boncompagni
About the "beaks" direction: I am looking at the plate of a Kuba rug with beaks bent inward, like in the fragment. But I have put away the scanner so you have to trust my word for it.
|February 17th, 2013 02:50 PM
|Filiberto Boncompagni
Hi Pierre,
The "eagle's beak" border is not exactly the same motif of the MET fragment (notice the "beaks" are bent outward). In "Tribal & Village Rugs" Stone put it in the Shirvan section but I think I saw it on rugs of other areas of Caucasus. Perhaps it's more prevalent in Shirvan.
Similar versions are also used in Persia. See the following scan from Stone's book.
|February 17th, 2013 01:45 PM
|Pierre Galafassi
Hi Filiberto,
Indeed, that's it!
Is this design specific for the Shirvan area?
|February 16th, 2013 06:59 PM
|George Potter
I agree with you it is hard to place this fragment to anything extant. The second example in your post shows a rug that probably has a border like the centre. Rugs with a main border through-out are quite common, but the ones I have seen have the border in the field horizontally.
Spot on. The border of the Shirvan would probably have derived from something like the border of the fragment, very interesting.
I do not know if it is a European thing expecting curators to be accessible, but I am unable to reach any curator through email at the MET to ask if the fragment is C14 dated or dated from archaeology or if it is dated because the elements in the fragment are enclosed with brown so common in early rugs from Anatolia.
/ George
|February 16th, 2013 05:10 PM
|Filiberto Boncompagni
Hi George,
Thank you very much!
Pierre, what about the border of this Shirvan?
The border is generally called eagles head or eagles beak and its a classical Caucasian border.
|February 15th, 2013 08:16 PM
|Pierre Galafassi
Hi George
Puzzling fragment. I havent seen any extant rug with this kind of pattern or even anything close.
With a lot of positive thinking, one could perhaps see a very vague analogy with the borders of the two (younger) rugs below.
Bergama, seventeeth century.
Anatolia, sixteenth or seventeenth century, F. Spuhler, Die Orientteppiche im Museum für islamische Kunst, Berlin.
Or with the field of some (older) Seldjuk rugs, albeit with a fully different palette.
Best regards

Losing Weight with My Best Friend
When they met a few years ago at the New Jersey law firm they worked for, Michelle Cook (far left), 36, a legal assistant and mother of two, and Alison Zangrillo, 33, a recently divorced bookkeeper, just clicked. Soon they were meeting up for Pilates once a week — "we called it our playdate," Michelle says — and have stayed best pals through job changes and jam-packed days. Both were "feeling run down" from extra weight they couldn't shake, and together they vowed to get their bodies and energy back.
The Weight-Loss Plan
A variety of weekly hour-long strength-training sessions with trainer Jeff Marmelstein at the Club at Woodbridge in New Jersey boosted their endurance. Patricia Davidson, RD, a nutritionist in Westfield, New Jersey, helped them eat more crunchy vegetables and make smart swaps to shave calories: "Instead of chips, I now have a peach with my lunch," Alison says.
The 180 Turnaround
Constantly switching up their routines between kettlebell moves, TRX class, and various cardio machines has helped them raise their fitness game. "We feed off each other for motivation," Alison says. "I text Michelle when I'm headed to the gym and confess to her if I've splurged on snacks." The two were often side by side on treadmills, Michelle walking as Alison ran. One day Michelle found herself punching up the pace. "Alison gave me the confidence to start running," says Michelle, who's lost 10 pounds and 4 percent of her body fat. "It's definitely brought us closer together, and we're so much stronger," says Alison, seven pounds lighter and four inches slimmer around the waist. "I'm so proud of both of us, and we're not stopping now!"

Losing Weight with My Sister
When Lisa Tacca (far right), 39, a mom of three, was trying to get back in shape, her sister Janine Caldarella, 32, an avid runner, invited her to jog in their New York City suburb. "It was our time to bond," says Janine, who soon devised a goal for them: 26.2 miles.
The Weight-Loss Plan
The sisters met up for long runs on weekends and for after-work circuits with trainer David Maldonado at New York Sports Clubs in Commack, New York. Amy Shapiro, RD, a nutritionist in Smithtown, New York, gave them "a portion-size reality check" and eating tips for double-digit runs.
The Photo Finish
"We were close to tears," both agree about the early sessions with Maldonado, during which they'd give each other the don't-quit-on-me look. They've kept up the teamwork: On one 12-mile run, Lisa nearly stopped at mile 10. "Janine said, 'No, stay up; we can do it!'" Lisa says. A couple of weeks later, the two ran a half-marathon. "As we crossed the finish line, we grabbed hands," Janine says; it's a ritual they plan to repeat at the New York City Marathon in November, each having lost 11 pounds en route.

Losing Weight as a Couple
Beth O'Rourke, 39, and her husband, Keith, 38, were too busy raising two kids under the age of 3 to fend off postmarital pudge. Beth "never lost the baby weight," and Keith had thrown in the fitness towel a few years ago. "I figured, Heck, I'm married, she loves me — all of me!" he says. Since their wedding in 2004, they'd peaked at about 200 pounds each. "We needed to lose the weight for ourselves and our kids," Beth says.
The Weight-Loss Plan
The two spent Saturday and Monday mornings doing firm-and-burn workouts with trainer Jon Deck at New York Sports Clubs in Colonia, New Jersey, while son Connor, 3, and daughter Abigail, 1, romped at the gym's daycare. They consulted Felicia D. Stoler, RD, a nutritionist in Manalapan, New Jersey, who helped them sneak veggies into the family's meals and cut back on pasta. "Our dog really made out on the leftovers!" Beth says.
Sweated Bliss
"After our first workout, Keith couldn't lift his arm to eat, and I couldn't walk down the stairs," Beth recalls. They'd never really worked out together before, and the intense mix of total-body strength exercises and cardio intervals was made bearable because "we'd goof on each other," Keith says. Beth also kept tabs on Keith's plate: "I was digging into barbecue at a restaurant one night, and she took a picture of my overloaded dish and sent it to our trainer Jon!" Five months later Keith is down to about 180 pounds, and Beth to 177, so they have a lot more energy for chasing the kids. Even better, Beth says, "exercising gave us a chance to actually spend time together, just the two of us."

Losing Weight with Coworkers
Office buddies Tabitha Bachofer (far left), 27, and Tanya Morris, 28, had reasons to drop pounds: "Women in my family have had heart problems, and they're the same size as I am," Tabitha says. "My 10-year high school reunion is next fall," Tanya says. But when doing it solo wasn't working — "I used to shop for the strongest diet pills," Tabitha admits — these nine-to-fivers for a government contractor in upstate New York joined forces.
The Weight-Loss Plan
Since both Tabitha, at 220 pounds, and Tanya, at 215, yearned to get below the 200-pound mark, they needed support, stat. Enter Jessica Surdey, a trainer at Court Jester Athletic Club in Binghamton, New York, who created a new circuit workout with cardio bursts every week to keep things fresh, and Cynthia Cave-Gaetani, RD, a nutritionist in Binghamton, who balanced their diets by cutting their calories and boosting protein to control cravings.
The Two-Over
Dashing from work to the gym was tough, but "Tabitha would save a spot for me in class," Tanya says. The pair tried everything from cardio fusion to something called Drums Alive, which involved drumsticks and loads of squats. They also back each other up in resisting gooey appetizers when dining out with friends and send each other "meet me at the water cooler" e-mails so they get plenty of H20. "It's double the willpower," Tabitha says. And it's working: So far they've each lost 30 pounds. "We're actually having fun," Tanya says, especially when friends high-five them on the Facebook page they've created for their ongoing mission.

ESPN, Marketers Hoop It Up For UConn Women's Shot At Basketball Immortality
By Barry Janoff, Executive Editor
December 20, 2010: ESPN was not around when the UCLA men's basketball team, led by coach John Wooden, set an NCAA Division I mark by winning 88 consecutive games from Jan. 30, 1971 until a 71-70 loss to Notre Dame on Jan. 19, 1974. But the "worldwide leader in sports" is making up for that with an extensive full-court press that will begin hours before University of Connecticut women's basketball team seeks to win its 89th consecutive game on Dec. 21 against Florida State. UConn's streak began in April 2008.
The game will be played at XL Center in Hartford, which might eventually rank among the venue's all-time highlights. Good news for XL Insurance, also based in Hartford, which signed six-year naming rights in 2007 for the home to both UConn men's and women's hoops and the Big East Women's Basketball championship through 2011.
The game has been moved from ESPNU to ESPN2, affording the players and corporate sponsors a much wider potential audience: about 99.5 million households for ESPN2 versus about 73 million for ESPNU. ESPN and ESPN.com also will allot chunks of time and space leading up to, during and then after the game.
The game is part of a larger umbrella sponsorship, "Holiday Hoops presented by Kay Jewelers", that encompasses all of ESPN's college basketball games from Dec 18-24. Via media buys with ESPN, advertisers with multiple spots during the Connecticut-FSU game include Pizza Hut, Audi, Ford, Toyota, Anheuser-Busch, Best Buy and Macy's, according to ESPN.
New York Life has a season-long marketing deal with both the UConn Huskies men's and women' basketball team, which includes an on-court logo, courtside and baseline signage boards. This will expand during the game on Dec. 21, when New York Life will have TV spots airing during the national broadcast, banners, a display presence at the main entrances to distribute information, will receive public address announcements, exposure on the video board and LED signage boards and its logo on the front cover of the game day program.
In addition to New York Life, other marketing partners of the two-time defending NCAA champion UConn Huskies are AT&T, Toyota, People's United Bank, Nike and Dunkin' Donuts. Dunkin' Donuts also is an official partner of XL Center, along with such companies as Anheuser-Busch (Bud Light), Verizon Wireless, The Hartford, Geico, Bob's Discount Furniture and Hilton Hartford.
