BOSTON, Mass. – The Pine Manor College men's basketball team erased a 21-point deficit at the end of the first half to defeat Emerson College, 84-82, and win the Coaches vs. Cancer Greater Boston Shootout hosted by Wentworth Institute of Technology, Tuesday evening. First year forward Rasheed Bell (Boston, Mass.) earned Most Valuable Player honors finishing with 13 points to go along with nine rebounds.
Pine Manor begins the season at 2-0 while Emerson drops to 1-1 in the early going.
Sophomore center Ellis Reed (Hartford, Conn.) led four Gators in double figures, registering a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Junior guard Taverick Roberson (Pittsfield, Mass.) followed up with 15 points while first year forward Trayson Patterson (East Hartford, Conn.) posted 12 points off the bench.
Gray led all scorers and five Lions in double digits with 23 points while recording 13 rebounds for a double-double. Fitz also notched a double-double, ending the night with 16 points and 10 rebounds while first year forwards Alex Mrusek and Ben Holding came off the bench to round out Emerson in double figures with 12 and 10 points, respectively.
Pine Manor matched Emerson point for point early on but the Lions worked the offensive paint, taking advantage of offensive rebound opportunities and began to pull away. Sophomore point guard Geoffrey Gray (Newton, Mass.) capped off a 7-0 run midway through the half with a lay-up to give the Lions a 10-point lead.
But the physical Gators were not going away quietly battling back pulling to pull within two possessions of the Lion lead. Sophomore guard Erick Rosario (Lynn, Mass.) connected with Patterson for an easy lay-up to cut the deficit to 21-15. It was a close as they would get for the remainder of the half as the Lions offense kept firing on all cylinders.
Emerson closed out the half with a 15-2 run to take their largest lead of the game, 21 points, 49-28 with just 1:31 remaining in the period. Junior forward Corey Fitz (Los Altos, Calif.), who was nearly perfect from the field in the first half, shooting six-of-eight for all 16 points, dished out three assists during the two minute stretch run to send the Lions into the locker room with a 51-34 advantage.
With their backs against the wall, down 17 points, the Gators new they had their work cut out for them. Freshman forward Makai Hunter (Middletown, Conn.) opened the second half connecting with both Roberson and Bell for back-to-back jumpers to pull within 13 points.
Momentum shifted, now favoring the Gators and Rosario made sure to keep it that way. The north shore native connected with sophomore center Ellis Reed (Hartford, Conn.) in the paint for a dunk before forcing the Lions to call their first time-out making a lay-up and cutting the deficit back down to single-digits.
While the timeout briefly re-ignited the Lions offense with Gray pushing them back up by double figures with a jumper, it did not quell the Gator offense. Despite trailing by 10 points, Bell turned the game around igniting a six-minute, 19-0 run, draining a trey at 15:49 as Pine Manor took their first lead, 64-57, since the opening four minutes of the contest.
Emerson point guard Michael Sheng (Altadena, Calif.) broke up the scoreless streak for the Lions with a lay-up at 9:01 and converted the three-point play to pull Emerson back to two possessions, 64-60. Mrusek knocked down a pair of free-throws with six minutes remaining in regulation to pull the Lions to within two points, 68-66 but it was not enough.
The Gators extended their lead back to double figures, 76-66, due, in part, to back-to-back treys from Patterson and Roberson as well as two free throws from Patterson. Every time the Lions kept inching their way back the Gators kept closing the door a little more. Roberson went three-for-three from the charity stripe to give Pine Manor the eight-point, 84-76, lead which was more than enough for the Gators.
Pine Manor returns to the hard-court Friday evening when they travel to Waterville, Maine for the Colby College Tournament where they will face host, Colby at 5:00 p.m. Emerson will be back in action on the Tuesday before the Thanksgiving Break, November 22nd, when travel to nearby Suffolk University. Tip-off's at 7:00 p.m.

Proposed Anzac class with CEA CEAFAR 3D E/F band, fixed active phased array radar for improved fire control against anti-ship missiles; and CEA CEAMOUNT active phased array radar system to provide mid-course guidance and terminal illumination for the evolved Sea Sparrow missile (image : CEA)
BAE Systems has begun modifying the first of the Royal Australian Navy's ANZAC Class frigates to be upgraded under the Anti-Ship Missile Defence (ASMD) Upgrade Project.
HMAS Perth entered the Henderson dockyard in Western Australia on 18 January on schedule.
The ASMD Upgrade project is being managed by the Defence Materiel Organisation supported by BAE Systems and Saab Systems under an alliance contracting arrangement.

The upgrade will significantly improve the anti-ship self-defence capabilities of the ANZAC Class by integrating:
-The leading edge CEA Phased Array Radar (PAR)
-The Vampir NG Infrared Search & Track (IRST) system
-The Sharpeye Navigation Radar Systems (NRS), and
-An upgraded Combat Management System (CMS) including an improved Operations Room layout.

Jason Beer, BAE Systems Maritime Through-Life Support General Manager, said today that the platform integration of these systems required significant structural modifications.

"This includes replacement of both the frigate's forward and aft masts, which has required us to develop innovative design solutions to minimise the impact on the ship's weight and stability," he said.
Mr Beer said that BAE Systems work during the installation phase in HMAS Perth would create more than 150 highly skilled jobs at its Henderson base in WA.

"The experience gained over the past five years of designing and developing this project has enabled BAE Systems Maritime Business Unit to enhance critical skills in complex maritime combat systems integration and platform systems integration.
"These skills are crucial to maintaining the capability that will be needed for next generation naval programs such as the Future Frigate and the Offshore Combatant Vessel projects," Mr Beer said.

Robo-Advisor for Financial Services
A Robo-advisor is a computerized financial consultant that use algorithms to automate portfolio management with negligible human intervention, at trivial costs as compared to a human financial advisor. Synechron, having partnered with leading financial majors across the globe, completely understands the finer nuances of the financial services business and how advisory services operate. The agile and highly-scalable nature of its cutting-edge digital, consulting and technology offerings enables Synechron to understand how businesses could move beyond a conventional Robo-advisor to a hybrid Robo-advisor (a tech-assisted firm that is not 100% automated) and Robo-investors (high-frequency trading with bots) thus creating the self-service clients are looking for, balanced with the high-touch, high-trust experience they are known to deliver.
Investment service players like Wealthfront and Betterment could be considered as the pioneers of the Robo-advisor movement, cashing in on millennials who were the first adopters due to the low investment minimums and low fees. To compete and stay relevant, traditional wealth and asset management firms have started developing and launching their own hybrid robo-advisor. A.T. Kearney, a leading American global management consulting firm forecasts Robo-advisers' to reach USD 2.2 trillion in five years - equating to 5.6 percent of all American investments by 2020. Incumbent wealth managers and private bankers are all too aware that the future of their business will be about the successful use of this technology. Therefore, we expect the industry to launch a range of robo-advisory services over the next year.
The Investor's Virtual Advisor
There are many variations and perceptions of what a Robo-advisor exactly does. Simply put, a robo-advisor is a tool or solution that uses a variety of methods and algorithms to automate the asset allocation of investments for an individual's unique persona. Robo-advisors today can help inexperienced individuals with goal setting and asset allocation — particularly when they have little idea where to start. Furthermore, a hybrid robo-advisor includes facilities to foster engagement and one-to-one interaction with human financial advisors – typically for more complex services and advice such as taxes, retirement or estate planning. Thanks to the rise of the robo-advisor, investing for the future has now gone mainstream and provides a solution for the mass market of individuals who previously could not afford such advice.
Synechron's Robo-Advisor Investment Platform - RoboInvestor™
Synechron's RoboInvestor™ solution is developed as a platform that can cater to a fully-automated solution for mass market clients, while also providing an assisted advisory solution for wealth managers and investment advisors who need the one-to-one interaction demanded of their clients.

Conferring the awards on the occasion of World Intellectual Property Day celebrations here on Thursday, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, Minister of Commerce and Industry mentioned that India has got very robust framework to deal with IP matters. On IPRs, India stands firm and clear. India being a leading nation has a robust well consulted policy. India is very forward looking in IPRs and will be moving from strength to further strength.
Hon'ble Minister mentioned that she committed last year that India will learn to be more efficient and match international standards. As Mr. Gupta already informed that the pendency in trade mark examination has been brought to one month. On patents there has been an augmentation of manpower with more efficient and qualified people and we are now targetting to reduce the pendency to 18 months by March 2018.
Hon'ble Minister said that the Police unit in Chandigarh deserve a special mention on their accomplishment and hope that police units of other states will follow this trend. We believe that the National IPR Policy is a truly dynamic and vibrant which will guide India to a path of innovation and research for the next decade. Cell for IPR Promotion and Management has already started functioning and in fact started promoting awareness on IPR from schools. We are starting to promote an IP driven culture at school level which will lead to more innovation and spur the start-up movement.
Hon'ble Minister mentioned that efforts to sensitize the Judiciary on IPRs are already underway so as to speed up disputes on commercial matters. It is pertinent to point out that India has only one case on compulsory license being granted on patents Thus, it is wrong to stumble a dialogue on this pretext even though the case is now part of the history books.
Hon'ble Minister expressed that it is a sense of great pride and distinct satisfaction that with every year, more and more number of people are coming in and competition is actually getting acute. This is the ninth year of the celebration of National IP Awards.
This year, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, TVS Motors, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, Tejas Networks Limited, Allinnov Research & Development Pvt Ltd, Biocon Ltd,Human Welfare Association, Crime Branch, Chandigarh were among the winners of 9th National IP Awards.
Mr. K Ravindra Shetty won the award for the Top Individual for Patents & Commercialization as well as the WIPO Medal for Inventors. The award for Top R & D institution/organisation for Patents & Commercialization was won by Indian Agricultural Research Institute. TVS Motorswas felicitated the award for Top Public Limited Company / Private Limited Company for Patents & Commercialization in India (Indian) as well as the WIPO IP Enterprise Trophy.
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd was conferred the honors in Top Public Limited Company / Private Limited Company for Patents & Commercialization in India (Foreign) and Top Indian Company /Organization for Designs.
The winner in the category of Top Indian Private Company (MSME) for Patents & Commercialization was Tejas Networks Limited while Allinnov Research & Development Pvt Ltd won the award for Top Start-up for IP Commercialization. On the other hand Biocon Ltdwas awarded in the category of Top Indian Company for creating Global brand. He was also honored with the WIPO Users' Trophy while Human Welfare Association was awarded in the category of Top organisation for Top Individual / organization for Best facilitation of Registration of GI and Promotion of registered GI in India and Crime Branch, Chandigarhreceived awards in the category of Best Police Unit (District / zone in a commissionarate) for enforcement of IP in the Country.
Constituted jointly by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) , Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) and the Indian Patents Office (IPO), the National Intellectual Property Awards are given every year since 2009 recognizing the use of IPRs as a strategic tool in commerce and industry. Comprising a winning amount of Rs 1 lakh in cash and a citation, the awards are evaluated on the basis of number of IPRs granted / registered, growth in IPR portfolio in the last three calendar years, leveraging of IPRs for achieving commercial goals (manufacturing, licensing, launching of new products / processes associated with granted / registered IPRs marketing / export etc.), For Enforcement of IPR by police, actions such as IPR- related FIR filed, raids/seizures made, and charge-sheets filed for IP infringements. In case of Top Indian Company for creating Global Brand (s), brand value, turnover outside India under the brand where it has worked, number of such global brands and global acceptance will be the parameters for the award.
While welcoming the awardees and participants to the awards ceremony, Mr Rajiv Aggarwal, Joint Secretary, Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion stated that the theme for this year is Innovation and with the National IPR Policy in place, lots of initiatives are being taken up. Mr. Aggarwal also mentioned that DIPP looks forward to build relationship with all countries in IP for the betterment of society and World at large.
While giving a brief context on the conception of World IP Day, Mr O P Gupta, Controller General of, Patents, Designs and Trademarks Government of India stated that the idea of conferring the awards was conceptualized nine years back by CGPTDM and DIPP to recognize the best achievers of IP in that year. Government of India imparts great importance to IPR. Mr. Gupta stated that pendency of trademark examination at Indian Patent Office has been reduced to 30 days. Output of Indian Patent Examination has now reached to 4000 applications per month. DIPP is committed to bring the pendency down even further by next year. Mr. Gupta stated that Indian Patent Office, DIPP and Government is committed to improving IP ecosystem in the country.
Dr Naushad Forbes, President, CII while delivering his address pointed towards two components of R & D. Indian industry's R&D spend has been around 0.3% of GDP as against global average of 1.5% of GDP. CII has been working to stimulate industry's investment through multiple ways. CII is also instrumental in attracting industry's R&D investment through its unique PPP Joint Venture Company, Global Innovation & Technology Alliance (GITA) that has been showing success with DST, MeitY, DHI as the partners. Dr. Forbes mentioned that CII looks forward to work across different ministries to encourage this.
Dr. Forbes pointed out that Indian Government's current expenditure in R&D is around 0.65-0.7% of GDP which is very close to global average. The concern is that in India, only 0.04% of GDP is spent on R&D at the academic institutions whereas the global average is 10 times more – 0.4% of GDP. This is a serious issue for government to address immediately by re-allocating its R&D budget more towards academic institutions. Dr. Forbes urged Madam Minister to champion this transition and CII would be happy to partnering this and it will be a game changer.
Dr. Forbes also stated that the potential for design to contribute in Industry Make in India is huge. Dr. Forbes congratulated Madam Minister, for DIPP constituting India Design Council for providing a boost to design in industry. Make in India will be sustainable when Design in India gets its due support and attention. And to achieve such a goal, he strongly recommend Institutionalization of India Design Council and offered CII being the secretariat of the council.
The award Ceremony was preceded by National IPR Conference jointly organized by CII, Indian Patent Office and Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion with the theme of "Expanding IP ecosystem in Industry". The Conference brought together an eminent set of speakers from Government bodies, IP Lawyers & Attorneys, Legal counsels, Industry and Academics from India and abroad. The speakers shared their knowledge & experiences through examples and case studies in the area of Intellectual Property with over 250 delegates.

I hesitate to say "strong female characters" because I hear that term is becoming taboo. I guess the new sin is that women in action adventure stories are depicted ONLY as "strong", which is in itself a sexist caricature. So the phrase has become a cliche among feminists.
Sigh. We can't win.
Thankfully, this doesn't stop me from writing them. Though it does make the task more interesting. Because up to a point, the criticism is valid. There are examples of two-dimensional female characters out there who either appear to be the SFC, but turn out to be wimpy, neurotic damsels in waiting.
Then there's the other kind. The ones who are Strong... and... And Strong... and stuff.
Not mine.
Don't believe me? Go check out my new Pro Se Press Single Shot, Codename Orchid for your Kindle (also available from from Smashwords). Costs just a buck, and you can read it in about the time it'd take you to watch a movie, which fits the cinematic experience I go for.
What's it about, you ask? First we meet Orchid, a rogue spy without a country, breaking into an enemy camp in Afghanistan. Through flashbacks we meet Regina Cross. She isn't quite living the American dream yet, but she's getting there. Her life was finally starting to look normal. Until she's attacked by a Russian assassin, rescued by a man she's never met, and learns that she's a deprogrammed sleeper agent.
It's received two 5-star reviews so far, both of which made references to the JJ Abrams show Alias. Because, well yeah. I wear my inspirations on my sleeve.
If you've visited this blog before, you know that I have always been a fan of the SFC archetype. And I love that there are so many of them making it into mainstream entertainment lately.
I list among my top favorite characters in books and comics names like April Rose (Mack Bolan novels), Catti-Brie, Mara Jade, Natasha Romanoff, Barbara Gordon, Helena Bertinelli, Karrin Murphy, Rachel Morgan, Mercy Thompson...
WTF is wrong with you Zack Snyder?
I will admit that on one level, I love this costume design. It's as good of a modern interpretation of Amazon armor as I think you can get. The depiction of Diana as a "warrior princess" dates back to the 80's at least, (yes, before Xena and before Kingdom Come) so it fits. And Gal Gadot looks awesome in it.
But why are you so afraid of color? Why is everything you create so joyless? It's bad enough that you willfully ignored the entire point of what Superman is supposed to be. Now you are hellbent on destroying the most iconic female character in comics.
What is wrong with THIS??
Dear readers, and hopefully future fans, if you need to know one thing about my stories is that they are fun. Even my eventually-to-be-published violent crime drama/revenge story/crime thriller has healthy doses of real-world humor thrown in.
I simply do not see the world in such dark hues of black and gray and brown as those who have infested the creative mindset of DCE. The last thing we need in this dreary world is even more doom and gloom in what is meant to be escapist entertainment.
I simply do not see the world in such dark hues of black and gray and brown as those who have infested the creative mindset of DCE. The last thing we need in this dreary world is even more doom and gloom in what is meant to be escapist entertainment.
I mean, I'm one of the few crazy people who actually liked Sucker Punch, but come ON. I thought that your much improved ending to Watchman was a sign that your creative vision wasn't as bleak and cynical as the Nolans and Goyers of the world. I'm sorry I was wrong. Lighten the fuck up, Snyder. Please.

South Carolina State senator Clementa Pickney was allegedly among those killed in a mass shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston on 18 June.
Officials have put the death toll from the shooting at nine. Charleston city police chief Gregory Mullen has said that 8 victims were killed inside the church and one died in hospital shortly afterwards.
Police are now pursuing a white male suspect in his 20s, in connection with what is believed to be a hate crime, the BBC reported.
Pickney reportedly campaigned with Hillary Clinton earlier in the day as she continues her presidential campaign tour in Charleston. He was inside the church at the time of the shooting.
A reverend and pastor at the African Methodist church, Pinckney recently led a prayer vigil for Walter Scott, a black man who was shot and killed by police in the state where racial tensions run high.
The Democratic state senator had also recently campaigned for legislation mandating that police wear body cameras while on the job.
He was the youngest African American to be elected to the South Carolina State Legislature, becoming a state representative at the age of 23 in 1996. He had been a pastor since the age of 18.
Pickney has a wife and two children, according to the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church website.

There have been leaks showing the front of the Nokia Lumia 630, but a complete view of the Windows Phone 8.1 hardware has been elusive until now.@evleaks has posted an apparent press shot revealing the back of the bright-hued device, and it suggests that the 630 will represent a sharp break from the designs of the Lumia 620 and 625.We can see hints of a flatter, more X-like body. There aren't any fresh clues as to when the 630 might launch, although we're not expecting to see it until sometime after the official unveiling of Windows Phone 8.1, which may take place in April.

Fifth Debate • Galesburg, October 7
At Knox College, which had been founded by abolitionist ministers twenty years earlier, as many as 20,000 onlookers braved the wind and cold to hear the debate. To escape the worst of the weather, the speakers' platform was relocated from an open area to a more sheltered space next to Old Main. Douglas claimed anew his devotion to the right of voters in each state and territory to decide issues. Douglas also returned to discussion of the founders' intent in declaring "all men are created equal." Were not some of the Declaration's signers slaveholders who knew slaves were excluded? Lincoln chided his opponent for not seeing the wrongness of slavery, declaring that Douglas was "blowing out the moral lights around us, when he contends that whoever wants slaves has a right to hold them."
Galesburg Today
Built in 1857, Old Main at Knox College is the only Lincoln-Douglas Debate site where today's visitor can go back in time and stand with Abraham Lincoln, overlooking the east lawn where assembled an audience of more than ten-thousand. Now at the center of the Knox campus, Old Main still evokes the expansive prairie environment that existed on October 7, 1858. Large bronze tablets portraying Lincoln and Douglas now flank the east door, while historic exhibits inside Old Main reveal details of the debate and the founding of Galesburg and Knox College. A Looking for Lincoln wayside exhibit on the lawn provide further information and illustrations of the debate.

Banana Bread made w/ Coconut Oil
30 comments:
NICE BREAD! Thanks for the reminder of base living too! I grew up an AF brat, and still remember having to stop for the NA. I have noticed more ball parks (college and Pro) start making people stop moving during such as well.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Richard, yeah its funny sometimes, we all know that 1630 on the dot everyday the NA plays and you'll see some people walking outside completely unaware of the time and when they hear the NA they start running for the nearest building. We like to call those people dirt bag Airman.Delete
I love how the bananas decided you were making banana bread. Love your nana's recipe b/c it looks so simple.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much, lol yeah it makes it easy sometimes to bake something when your forced to use the food or throw it out.Delete
By the way, peeled bananas freeze very well, I stick them in the freezer and bake my bread according to mood, I haven't used coconut oil yet, for some reason I thought it would be heavy... I have a really great cobbler recipe that takes a lot of butter, and would love a more lactose friendly way of putting it together, think it would work?ReplyDeleteReplies
Your very right, sometimes I will freeze bananas and use them in my awesome yo cream machine to make banana ice cream. But im happy I made this bread I was really surprised how well coconut oil baked, I think I may be converted. You should diffidently try it in the cobbler, the oil reminds me of room temperature butter, soft but not melted. its not like a liquid oil. good luck :)Delete
Great bread recipe! I absolutely love using coconut oil. Can't wait to try this!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, I am going to be using coconut oil a lot for now on. I loved it.Delete
i bet that coconut oil put a lovely spin on the banana bread, definitely want to try sometime!ReplyDeleteReplies
You know I tasted a little bit of the coconut oil and it had a slight sweet taste and the coconut flavor wasn't overpowering, Baked in the bread I don't think you can taste it but the bread bakes extremely light. Plus it doesn't come out all crumbly like it would have with butter :-)Delete
Love your idea of using coconut oil! I bet that adds another depth of flavor!ReplyDelete
Since I think you have a great blog, I am passing along the Versatile Blogger Award to you! Come by my blog and check out your award! http://www.lifeasibakeit.com/2012/04/versatile-blogger-award.html
Hi Randilea, coconut oil is great! and thank you so much for the awesome recognition :) I hope you have a great day!ReplyDelete
So funny, I just had a bread baked with coconut oil about one week ago. And it was amazingly delicious - I loved it. Thanks for sharing this recipe :)ReplyDelete
Hi Jen, yeah this was my first time using coconut oil and I loved it, can't wait to use it again.ReplyDelete
I LOVE that you made this with coconut oil! Such a healthy and delicious substitution. I am going to try that sub next time I make a quick bread. Yum!!ReplyDelete
On another note, I've had those frustrating days at the grocery store, but it sounds like you made the best of it! Hope you get that sandwich you've been craving soon!Replies
Hey Maggie, thanks for the encouragement I hope to make that sandwich soon! I hope you try and like using the coconut oil its amazing for bread =)Delete
GORGEOUS!!! I love your recipe and the photo is perfect!!! Let's have coffee and this bread - my place or yours? lolReplyDeleteReplies
sounds great Tess, what time zone should we meet in? lol =)Delete
Great to meet you (via foodbuzz)! I love banana bread, and am a big fan of cooking/baking with coconut oil, but have never combined the two. Looks like a great recipe! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Willow, its great to meet you as well through foodbuzz. Thanks for stopping by. Looking forward to sharing recipes with you :)Delete
Mmm, I love coconut oil, but have never tried it for baking! Sounds perfect in banana bread.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Patty, I need to hit you up for some ideas on cooking with the coconut oil.Delete
Wow! These banana bread does look moist & tasty! Fantastic! Have never tried coconut in baking & this recipe sounds awesome! I wonder how it taste like. It's nerve racking when I can't find the things I needed for baking or cooking when doing my groceries.ReplyDeleteReplies
It is such a bummer when you can't find something you need at the store. I hope you try coconut oil for your next fab dessert. its a pretty delicate taste, just a hint of sweetness on its own.Delete
Coconut oil works so great in baking as butter substitute! Leaves things super moist and gives a delicate coconit flavor and aroma. Delish!ReplyDeleteReplies
I totally agree, I want to use it in my next big cookie recipe but I might have to settle for butter since the recipe is so big and coconut oil is limited at the grocery store.Delete
I love how you used coconut oil instead of butter! I have some and have been thinking about trying it but the last time I subed with coconut oil it wasn't what I was hoping for! You gave me new hope! Have a great weekend! I am now following you =)ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Serena, glad to give you new hope on the coconut oil, its works great with bread from what I experimented with, haven't tried it in anything else yet but looking forward to using it more often. Glad to have met you through foodbuzz and I'm following u too! :-)Delete
My favourite snack is Banana bread with a cup of coffee. I have to try your recipe with coconut oil!! (Tip:I am using coconut oil for cooking my pancakes. Just tiny bit in the pan, it gives them a nice flavour!! )MeriemReplyDelete

If they were so sure of themselves, they would go in there, guns-a-blazing and fight the good fight. But alas, in my opinion, they are not confident in a win and will fight arbitration with their last dying breath.
And with this type of defense, HBO will also be fighting with their shareholders, whom I'm sure would like this thing to go away. Shareholders don't like lawsuits, especially lawsuits with a ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR PRICE TAG!!!!

About this Research Topic
Watersaturated soil and sediment ecosystems (i.e. wetlands) are ecologically as well as economically important systems due to their high productivity, their nutrient (re)cycling capacities and their prominent contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. Being on the transition between terrestrial and – aquatic ecosystems, wetlands are buffers for terrestrial run off thereby preventing eutrophication of inland as well as coastal waters. The close proximity of oxic-anoxic conditions, often created by wetland plant roots, facilitates the simultaneous activity of aerobic as well as anaerobic microbial communities. Input of nutrients and fast recycling due to active aerobes and anaerobes makes these systems highly productive and therefore attractive for humans as well as many other organisms. Wetlands globally are under high pressure due to anthropogenic activities as well as climate change. Changes of land-use as well as altered hydrology due to climate change will lead to disturbance and loss of these habitats. However, the diversity and functioning of microbial communities in wetlands systems in highly underexplored in comparison to soils and aquatic ecosystems. Given the importance of wetlands and their immediate threats combined with the lack of knowledge on the microbiology of these systems is the basis for this Research Topic, focusing on the current microbiological knowledge and gaps therein to be assessed in future wetland research. Papers (research papers, reviews, perspectives, opinion papers) are welcomed that focus on all aspects that regulate the functioning and community composition of microbes (i.e. bacteria, archaea, protozoa, fungi) in wetland ecosystems (peat, coastal as well as freshwater marshes, flood plains, rice paddies, littoral zones of lakes etc) from all geographic regions. Welcomed topics are physiology, ecology, functioning, biodiversity, biogeography of microbes involved in nutrient cycling (C, N, P, Fe, Mn), green house gas emissions as well as plant-microbe interactions. These studies can be multidisciplinary and cover topics from the molecular to the community level.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.

The RF-87K series products are DIN rail-mountable and have frame
ground for easy installation and safety. In order to reduce the
complicated setting processes during the installation of wireless
products, many configurations are set by default values and only the
communication channel is selectable. You can switch to different
channel if communication conflict exists between your device and
other\'s wireless devices. Many distribution systems need long
distance communication, such as the water treatment systems, traffic
light control systems, irrigation systems, and etc. We provide many
accessories to increase the transmission range for such applications.

Radio frequency skin promotion system, of which the unique 0.25 ~ 8.8MHZ adjustable technology is applied. Radio frequency differs from laser energy in that light (laser) energy tends to scatter or absorb in the upper layers of the skin, making it difficult to deliver sufficient energy to the deep layers without damaging the skin's surface. When comparing non-ablative techiques, lasers such as the CoolTouch and NLite affect upper dermal collagen, improving fine wrinkles and skin texture, while radio frequency affects the deeper dermis and subcutaneous layers, causing tightening but with little change in texture or fine wrinkling.

Drug Interactions With Insulin Glargine
Related MultimediaClick on an icon to view.
More Information on Interactions With Insulin Glargine
Any of the medications discussed in this article may increase the risk of low blood sugar when combined with insulin glargine (or any other insulin medications). Therefore, it is a good idea to check with your healthcare provider before you take any of these medications with insulin glargine. Your healthcare provider may recommend that you monitor your blood sugar levels more closely for a while to see if you need to adjust your insulin glargine dosage. In some cases, an alternative medication that does not cause drug interactions may be recommended.
It is also important to check with your healthcare provider any time you stop taking any of the medications listed in this article or any time your dose is adjusted. Again, you may need to monitor your blood sugar levels more closely for a while, and your healthcare provider may need to adjust your dose of insulin glargine.
Many drug interactions with insulin glargine were not discussed in this article, including interactions that may cause high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). These interactions are not usually dangerous, although they may become dangerous if they are not treated. In these cases, you may need to have your insulin glargine dosage adjusted. It is a good idea to get into the practice of checking with your healthcare provider any time you start, stop, or change the dose of any medication, including non-prescription medications.
Final Thoughts on Drug Interactions With Insulin GlargineNot all insulin glargine drug interactions were discussed in this article. Therefore, you should talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider about the specific drug interactions that may apply to you.

Hotel Accommodation
Day's Inn (Toronto - Beaches)
1684 Queen Street East
Toronto Ontario M4L 1G6
Telephone: 416 694 1177, then 0
Previous WCS attendees have recommended this hotel. It is on the N side of Queen Street, E of Coxwell Avenue and near the intersection with Kingston Road, and about one mile SE of the symposium site at Monarch Park Collegiate.
Last year's special rate for the symposium has been extended yet again this year: $129.95 (approximately) plus 4% Municipal Accommodation tax, plus 13% HST tax, per room, for one or two persons; each additional person, to a total of four, costs an additional $20. The rate includes Continental breakfast 6am-10am, free WiFi and limited free parking.
If you are interested in the meeting room facilities contact GM Bill Chemij for further details at 416-694-1177x304 or email email@example.com
Reservations can be made by PHONE ONLY (at 416-694-1177 - Extension 0). Ask to speak to a representative to get the special rate & be sure to mention the symposium. When the recorded message starts, press 0 (zero) to get the operator at the Queen Street hotel. Do NOT go through the reservations option, since the chain office does not know about the special rate; for the same reason, do NOT use the 1-800 number. Most rooms have two beds, some only one. You might want to call around, share and save. Most rooms are non-smoking. Our contact is the Front Desk Manager Gregory Wickramasinghe at extension 308.
The price includes continental breakfast; parking is free. Parking spaces are, however, limited at the hotel. There is additional free parking available across the street.
For Information on "What's near the Day's Inn" please click here.
Bed and Breakfast accommodation
There seems to be no central registry for B&Bs in Toronto. And we have no experience with any of them to help you out.
Google Bed and Breakfast Toronto to start. Two sites have particularly long lists:
- http://www.bedandbreakfast.com/toronto-ontario.html and
- http://www.torontolodging.worldweb.com/BedBreakfasts.
Postal codes in Toronto run from M1 in the east to M9 in the west. B&Bs with postal code M4 are moderately close to the symposium site. Code M5 is the central area. For information on getting to Monarch Park from your B&B by public transit, go to http://www.toronto.ca/ttc. Exit at the Coxwell Subway Station on the Bloor-Danforth line, walk about 10 minutes S to Monarch Park and turn left.
If you stay at a Toronto B&B, please send us your opinion of the accommodation so that we may make specific recommendations in subsequent years.

As javelin throwers we are all concerned about the health of our throwing arms...
Much has been said about the rotator cuff exercises. The rotator cuff, however, is only part of the story when it comes to keeping your throwing shoulder healthy. Recently, talking with health care professionals and reading research articles I have found out a great deal about the scapular stabilizers. These are the muscles that attach the shoulder blade to the posterior chest wall and, thereby, effect the function of the rotator cuff. They regulate the movement of the scapula relative to the shoulder during the large ranges of motion seen in the shoulder joint. If the scapular stabilizers aren't functioning properly it allows the scapula sag forward and causes the rotator cuff to be overworked and abused very easily as it strains with all the work being done while throwing.
The scapular stabilizers I am concerned about are: serratus anterior, trapezius (upper, middle, lower), and rhomboids (upper and lower). While I won't go in to detail about the specific motions of the scapula, I will outline a few exercises that have helped me out recently. For most of us with recurrent shoulder problems (sore cuff muscles and biceps tendonitis) the scapular stabilizers are usually weak as well and definitely contribute to our symptoms.
Serratus Anterior - Exercise is called a push up plus. You start in a push up position allow your shoulder blades to come together in the back and then push them forward as far as possible without unlocking your arms. It can be done with your feet on a bench and hands on a Swiss ball for an advanced motion.
Trapezius - The upper trap is not a concern. The middle and lower trap are far weaker. Middle Trap - lying prone (face down), position your arms abducted to 90 degrees (make a T with your arms straight out). With your thumbs pointing towards the ceiling, keeping your shoulders down and relaxed (no shrugging), move your thumbs towards the ceiling. hold...and let down slowly. You should feel your shoulder blades touch and then slide laterally as you lower your hands.
Lower Trap - lying prone, position your arms at a high three quarters position ("Y" position). With your thumbs pointing at the ceiling, raise your arms...hold...and lower slowly. You should feel your shoulder blades slide down your back and then back (hard to feel, but if you do it right you will feel the burn on the bottom of your shoulder blades). Both these exercises may also be done standing (thumbs now point behind you) using a cable or stretch tubing.
Rhomboids - Prone in a T position (slightly lower T). Now the thumbs are pointing towards the floor. Use the same movement pattern as the middle trapezius exercise. Bring your hands towards the ceiling while squeezing your shoulder blades together, then slowly relax and bring your hands back to the start.

Javelin Throw - PR of 75.36M
Shoulder Care in the Javelin Throw
The rotator cuff exercises that are important to do are external rotation movements. Holding your elbow at your side and bent at 90 degrees pull a stretch tube or pulley across your body to full external rotation. The rotation is around your humerus (upper arm) so don't lift that elbow to complete the rotation. Can be done with dumbbells if you lie on the floor on your side, lifting the dumbbell straight off the ground. Do this exercise from your delivery position as well. Hold your elbow (bent at 90 degrees) straight out from your shoulder (90 degrees of abduction) and pull the stretch tube (attached at ankle height to something in front of you) up and back as you rotate your arm around the axis of your humerus (point your elbow at something for reference and don't let it move forward or back).
Because these are small muscles that are used all the time it is best to train them for endurance using sets of 2 for 20 reps (it can be done w/ more sets at lower reps: 3 X 12 or so). Concentrate on very slow eccentric movement- let the weight down very slowly- because this is the action you want to train. The posterior shoulder musculature functions to stabilize the shoulder in the joint and to decelerate the arm after the throw- these are both eccentric movements. The weight should be light enough to allow perfect form. Start with no weight and train the movements first.
The muscles are all worked together by doing exercises as bent over rows/flys, seated rows, lat pulldowns/pull ups. Concentrate on the scapular stabilizers by keeping your shoulders down and relaxed and pinching your shoulder blades together before letting the weight down.
Everybody has different strengths and weaknesses. not every athlete will need to work every single little muscle separately but if you have shoulder problems you should definitely address them before you injure yourself further.
Good luck with these exercises,
dr. Mark Fletcher

Euthanasia guidelines for nondomestic animals available
The American Association of Zoo Veterinarians is making its "Guidelines for euthanasia for nondomestic animals" available for purchase.
In addition to sections covering aspects of euthanasia and methods of euthanasia, the guidelines include taxon-specific recommendations for invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, montremes (egg-laying mammals), marsupials, bats, nonhuman primates, rodents and small mammals, marine mammals, sea otters, carnivores, hoofstock, swine, and megavertebrates.
The guidelines have been endorsed by a number of groups, including the American Association of Wildlife Veterinarians, American Board of Veterinary Toxicology, American College of Zoological Medicine, Association of Avian Veterinarians, Association of Reptilian and Amphibian Veterinarians, Canadian Association of Zoo and Wildlife Veterinarians, and Wildlife Disease Association.
Veterinarians in practice who may have occasion to euthanize nondomestic animals should consider having the 111-page document on their bookshelves, according to the AAZV.
The AVMA has taken a lead role in developing criteria for euthanasia of domestic and captive nondomestic animals. These and other existing guidelines have been developed primarily for domestic animals, but include limited information on laboratory and nondomestic animals. There was a need, according to the AAZV, to more specifically address euthanasia in the broad range of taxa and circumstances for euthanasia of captive nondomestic species and free-ranging wildlife. The information in the guidelines is an extension of general information and principles that are found in previously published guidelines.
The "Guidelines for euthanasia for nondomestic animals" can be ordered only online at the AAZV Web site, www.aazv.org. Price is $75 per copy, plus shipping and handling charges of $10 for North American addresses and $15 for addresses outside North America. For more information, contact Dr. Robert Hilsenroth, AAZV executive director, at (909) 225-3275 or rhilsenrothAAZVaol [dot] com ().

On Friday, the Virginia State Corporation Commission ordered the liquidation of the Reciprocal of America, as reported here by the AP and here by the Daily Press. The SCC's order is available here, and provides among other things that all the direct insurance policies are cancelled.
Reciprocal of America provided malpractice liability insurance for hospitals in several states. It was also a reinsurer for Doctors' Insurance Reciprocal (DIR) and American National Lawyers' Insurance Reciprocal (ANLIR), which sold malpractice insurance for doctors and lawyers respectively. Earlier this month, a court approved the liquidation of ANLIR by officials of the Tennessee Department of Commerce. ANLIR provided malpractice for more than 14,000 attorneys, including several thousand in both Virginia and Tennessee.
What remains unresolved is how what assets remain in the Reciprocal of America and whether ANLIR (and DIR) will be allotted a portion of those assets based on the moneys paid in for lawyers and doctors, or whether those assets will go first to the hospital claims, which will leave nothing for the doctors and lawyers.
A class action lawsuit brought on behalf of ANLIR insured lawyers raising all kinds of claims has been filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee at Memphis.

Scholarships are the most sought after type of financial aid out there. Scholarships are so popular because you do not have to pay them back and some are not based on financial need like other types of "free" money is.
There are tens of thousands of scholarships available for college students in all areas, from art schools to aerospace engineering programs; you just have to look for them. Some schools will require you to have the scholarship money sent to them first so they can include it in your financial aid package. These scholarships fall under the category of Gift Aid.
Scholarships are also one of the hardest types of financial aid to get because there might be twenty thousand students vying for one or two scholarships.
We have put together a few resources below that offer information about scholarships.
- Frank O'Neil Memorial Scholarship
The $1000 scholarships given away by American Student Financial Aid.
- $10,000 free college scholarship
- Green Earth Scholarship
Save the earth and win a scholarship
- The StraightForwardMedia Scholarships
This company gives away several targeted scholarships.
- Duck Tape Prom Contest
Win up to $3000 for making a Duct tape prom dress.
- First Generation College Student Scholarships
A scholarship for someone who is going to college for the first time in their family.
Popular Types of Scholarships
Athletic Scholarships
These are the most coveted scholarships, because playing sports in college could lead to the pros (and big money). About a quarter of a million athletic scholarships are awarded every year. Earning these scholarships is very competitive and extremely difficult, but not impossible. The best way to get an athletic scholarship is to talk to your high school coach and the schools you hope to attend about the application process.
Privately Funded Scholarships
Alumni members and generous donors are the ones who create and fund these scholarships. Usually, they are school-specific, so contact the schools to which you are going to apply for more information. Sometimes, the information for private scholarships is posted online as well. Awards range from $500 to full-ride scholarships.
Merit-Based Scholarships
If you have excellent grades or test scores, you will probably qualify for a merit scholarship. Valedictorians and salutatorians can get full ride scholarships to several colleges and universities. There are hundreds of merit scholarships available for academically gifted students, so start searching today!
ROTC Scholarships
ROTC is another big group that awards scholarships. You must agree to become part of the ROTC team at your new college or sign up for the military for a certain number of years to get this type of scholarship.
Corporate Scholarships
Corporations are also known for generously donating money to needy students. Companies like McDonalds, Pepsi, Kraft Foods, Walmart, and Target give out thousands of dollars in scholarship money each year. You may need to be an employee, or have a family member that works for one of these companies, in order to qualify for the scholarship money.
Religious Scholarships
These fall under privately funded scholarships. Your place of worship may offer some scholarships to its members. If you are affiliated with an organization, contact your local leader to find out more information.

Parsons, a surgeon, writes a convincing thriller about a med student who's a bad apple and the evil game in which she engages at a major medical school and teaching hospital.
Chief resident Steve Mitchell, a urology surgeon who is hoping to work at University Hospital once he finishes his residency, meets medical student Gigi, nicknamed "GG." Leggy and beautiful, GG is a quick student and brilliant, but she has one other notable characteristic—she's a psychopath. And she's decided to draw the happily married, although impossibly self-centered, Mitchell into her "game." GG ropes Mitchell into playing the game following a pair of disastrous surgeries that result in serious and unforeseen complications. Both times, Mitchell made grave errors, and patients were the ones to suffer. After sabotaging one of Mitchell's patients and then seducing the young doctor, GG lets Mitchell in on what is happening and tells him that unless he tries to figure out whom she is going to kill next, she'll proceed with her next victim. Distraught and unsure about how to stop GG, Steve confides in his junior resident, Luis, a former Marine who is both battle-wise and street-smart, and together, they decide to stop her. Parsons knows his subject and does justice to the medical side, although he needs to hold back a bit—telling all the details of a medical procedure and including inside physician jokes can be boring to civilians looking for nothing more than a great yarn. And his main character, Mitchell, can be pretentious and self-absorbed, particularly when he weighs the harm that knowledge of GG's future murders can do alongside his own personal disgrace. He proves to be a character that is almost as dislikable as the villain.
Nicely paced action, but Parsons clumsily sidesteps the most obvious solution to the evil GG problem, vastly weakening the book.

Anyone who has driven a vehicle has encountered a Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system in action. Some of you have even found out how much it can cost in terms of speeding fines! Let's take a closer look behind the scenes. How do we know the detector is working?
In this application, the LIDAR device sends out a 130 μW 904 nm beam, the beam is produced by three light emitting diodes (LEDs). Once the light leaves the device and travels down range towards the target the light is scattered.

The Joy of Socks
So I started nesting my socks. Then I went all origami folding on my shirts. Next up: look at every piece of paper in my files and ask: Does this bring me joy?
Have I gone insane? Nesting socks? What?
Like many of you perhaps, I have discovered The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo.
Do I love this shirt I bought in 2007? Five pairs of scissors? 22 half-filled notebooks. My key chain I had with my first car?
How much of your stuff are you really in a relationship with? How much of it brings you joy? How much of it adds to your quality of life?
For me not everything I owned brought me joy, that was for sure.
One thing I appreciate about Kondo is that she is not a minimalist. The goal is not simply to get rid of things. The goal is to notice more about your things, ask if they bring you joy, and decide to part with them if they don't.
I am in the habit of asking: what does this (parenting, traveling, tidying, basketball, etc.) have to do with improv? We are always asking that question around here.
Turns out that the idea of "Notice more" is central to both tidying and improv.
For a lot of us, we don't always pay attention to what is around us. That can be true on the improv stage, in meetings, and when you are in your basement asking "What is that thing?"
Improvisers dial up their noticing on stage because if they do there is more to work with. If you are not paying attention you are going to miss the fact that someone just called you Kelvin and asked you to bring a crescent wrench into the scene.
If you are not paying attention you will have no clue about what to do next.
Obviously the stage is not the only place where paying more attention matters.
Notice something you haven't noticed in a while. Ask yourself: Does this _________ bring me joy?
