BALTIMORE – UMBC women's soccer's red-shirt junior midfielder Jessy Brown (Plantation, Fla./American Heritage) and freshman forward Amanda Dailey (Howell, N.J./Freehold Township/Monmouth) completed their second sweep of the season of the America East Weekly honors, as announced by the league office on Monday.
Brown and Dailey garnered AEC Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week, respectively, after helping the Retrievers to a pair of come-from-behind victories in the final week of play en route to a share of UMBC's first regular season league title. The black and gold completed one of the biggest turnarounds in the country and became the first America East team to finish in first place after coming in last place the season before.
Brown scored the game-tying goal with 3:25 to go in Thursday's 2-1 victory against Hartford. The score was Brown's sixth of the season and was her first goal of the season that was not a game-winner. Just 2:25 later, Dailey completed the comeback, registering her third goal of the season, as the Retrievers would beat the then-top ranked team in the conference.
The two each assisted on UMBC's game-winning goal against New Hampshire on Sunday that clinched the top-seed in the America East Championship for the Retrievers, each heading a ball to setup junior midfielder Lilly Rydon's (Stirling, South Australia/Concordia College) goal that would cap off another 2-1 come-from-behind win.
The two honors brings UMBC's season total up to five distinctions, with Brown tallying three and Dailey earning two.
UMBC awaits the winner of Thursday's quarterfinal matchup between No. 4 Hartford and No. 5 Vermont. The black and gold will host semifinal action on Sunday, Nov. 3 at 1 p.m. at Retriever Soccer Park.

Coleraine received a major boost on Tuesday night as defender Lyndon Kane made his long-awaited return from injury.
The full back, who has been out of action for nearly eight months with a broken metatarsal, played 60 minutes for the Bannsiders in a 3-1 friendly win over Portstewart.
Kane picked up the injury in the penultimate Danske Bank Premiership fixture of last season at Windsor Park against Linfield.
It meant the Coleraine man missed the decisive final league game against Glenavon and the Irish Cup final victory over Cliftonville.
As you can imagine he was delighted to be back in action again.
Kane tweeted: "First 60 minutes under my belt tonight in a friendly, first game in 7 and a half months, good to be back."
It is the 21-year-old's second spell on the sidelines with a broken metatarsal after he suffered a similar injury in a pre-season friendly against Derry City at the start of last season.

Check out the fab news published in this weeks' Publishers Weekly:
Argh! How exciting! I was so happy to sell Frankie to Sarah at Flatiron, as I have heard nothing but the highest praise for her, and the Flatiron YA list is A-MAZING. I can't wait to revisit Frankie but, let's face it, I'm most excited about what the US cover will look like. Eeeek!
To celebrate I decided to change my hair colour. What do you think?

Rayman Legends Review
When I started tickling ogres, I thought it weird. When I was running through a level made almost entirely of cake; I'll admit that I giggled a bit. But it was when I became a duck that I truly let go and realized how genius of a game Rayman Legends truly is. The fact that it can introduce so many fantastic ideas based on such simple concepts is nothing short of remarkable and perhaps most importantly, it's a incredibly fun to play. Rayman Legends is one of the best platformers you'll ever play and evidence that the mascot driven game can not only still work, it can flourish.
Legends takes the concepts created in 2011's Rayman Origins; fantastic art style, tight mechanics and wonderful soundtrack and turns it up to 11. Though Legends does serve as a direct sequel to its predecessor, you won't need to have played it to understand Origins since its story doesn't matter much. In short, the Teensies are being held by a group of five traitors known as the Dark Teensies and its up to Rayman and his supporting cast of characters to save the day. What Legends lacks in storytelling ability though, it makes up for in pure platforming bliss.
"... Legends is filled with new and innovative ideas."
In truth, the entire Legends experience is based on a pretty simple set of mechanics. Rayman can run, jump, punch and hover throughout the world - but it's what Ubisoft is able to build from these simple mechanics that makes Legends so fun. Whether is transforming Rayman or your point of view (some of my favorite moments where those that asked me to simply change my perspective), Legends is filled with new and innovative ideas. Some work better than others, but nearly all are interesting enough that you'll always be interested, and guessing just what the game is going to throw at you next.
Undeniably, the game excels most when it combines its phenomenal production values with the inventive gameplay. Much like its predecessor, Legends has a very unique and dynamic art style that looks like its take right from some of the best Saturday Morning cartoons as well as remarkable soundtrack. There are levels throughout the game that combine all of this into truly remarkable experiences. An early level has you speed-running through to the tune of Black Betty and a later has you collecting power-ups over the sounds of a flamenco guitar but it was a level that found Rayman swinging in the jungle to classical music that stuck with me the most; I could have closed my eyes and sworn that I was watching Walt Disney's old Silly Symphonies shorts. They're that good.
"The controls are tight and responsive..."
Of course, a platformer is only as good as its controls and thankfully Rayman Legends delivers here too. There were only a few times when the controls didn't respond quick enough and left me in an unwelcomed situation. The controls are tight and responsive and makes navigating the tight pathways not only easy but fun. Legends was initially announced as a Wii U exclusive, and the gamepad is still the go-to way to play because of how it allows you to interact with the environment around you, but you'll have absolutely no issue controlling the game with a traditional controller either.
All of this adds together to make Rayman Legends one hell of a charming game. It's nearly impossible to play through the game without smiling from ear to ear, and it's all warranted thanks to just how fun and memorable Legends truly is. It's mechanically sound and filled with new ideas to keep you guessing and ultimately interested.
Rayman Legends may use a lot of the same tricks as its predecessor, but they're done so well that it's (mostly) forgivable. With Legends, Ubisoft has crafted a remarkably well done, fun and engaging platformer that needs to be played. It will easily be remembered as one of this generation's best, surpassing even what's come before it. If you have a love for gaming and just what they can do, you owe it to yourself to play Rayman Legends today.

The road to the semi-finals has been safely negotiated, albeit with a couple of bumps and near misses en route. Now South Africa face a quandary. Do they head into the last four relaxed, determined to enjoy the occasion, or demand of themselves a place in the final? Savour the making of history or strive for a place in folklore? Essentially, it is a question of ambition; of mentality.
Nor is the choice as straightforward as it might seem. After all, every one of Joel Santana's players would love nothing more than to reach South Africa 2009's showpiece. Some, however, would prefer to enter the last four unburdened by pressure, having already met expectations, while others see an inherent danger in declaring 'mission accomplished' after surviving the group stage. Captain Aaron Mokoena leads this latter group.
Asked by FIFA.com whether Bafana Bafana could now relax and enjoy the remainder of the tournament, the Portsmouth star's response was immediate. "Definitely not," he replied. "There's a long way to go in this competition and we will be going all out to reach the final, there's no question about that. It's going to be tough and we know that no-one will expect us to do it, but we're the hosts and this is a unique opportunity for us. This tournament means a lot to this country and to us as players, and we cannot afford to think our job has been done. We must not be satisfied at reaching the semi-finals."
This tournament means a lot to this country and to us as players, and we cannot afford to think our job has been done. We must not be satisfied at reaching the semi-finals.
As someone who has spent the bulk of his club career scrapping for points against stronger, more star-studded sides, Mokoena knows better than most the kind of mindset South Africa will need to punch above their weight in the last four. Yet there are others in the squad, among them Matthew Booth, who are equally convinced that a lessening of tension can only be beneficial.
"I think we can relax to a certain extent now," the cult hero told FIFA.com. "Psychologically, I think there will be a weight lifted and that can only help us. So, yeah, the pressure's off because getting to the semi-finals is an achievement in itself. But South Africans love winners and I'm sure the pressure will be right back on once the semi comes around."
They may differ on the most advantageous approach, but this Bafana Bafana duo were in agreement on one thing: the pressing need to recharge their batteries ahead of facing Brazil, Egypt or Italy. All involved last night left the Free State Stadium exhausted, not only from the physical exertions of chasing Spanish shadows, but from the mental ordeal of standing helplessly on the pitch, huddled together, waiting on news from Johannesburg."That was torture," admitted Mokoena. "The main emotion when we got the news was relief, but it was a strange feeling to celebrate after losing - even if we were up against the best team in the world."
This admiration for their Spanish conquerors permeated the entire South Africa squad, with Booth admitting that, even at 32, he learned a harsh lesson from attempting to shackle Messrs Villa and Torres.
"I've never faced a partnership as good as that in my entire career," said the veteran centre-half. "And I actually thought that, as a defence, we did quite a good job on them. But with players like that, you know that all they need is a half-chance - and we were punished for giving one to Villa. At this level, one lapse in concentration can kill you and that's a lesson we need to learn for the semi-finals and going forward to the World Cup."

Dons moved to within three points of automatic promotion with a 3-0 win over Fleetwood Town on Tuesday night, while Preston could only draw with Gillingham.
Second half goals from Lewis Baker, who earlier hit the bar, Will Grigg and Dele Alli ensured all three points for Dons in an accomplished and patient performance at the Highbury Stadium.
It could have been a different story though had Gareth Evans' strike not hit the bar in the first half.
Gillingham's late equaliser against Preston means the gap is down to three points with four games remaining.
Karl Robinson made four changes to Saturday's side which drew 0-0 in unspectacular fashion with Port Vale. Skipper Dean Lewington returned from injury, while in came Lewis Baker, Rob Hall and Jordan Spence at the expense of injured Dean Bowditch, suspended Samir Carruthers and Lee Hodson. Carl Baker was named on the bench after two weeks out. Former Don Adam Chicksen lined up for Fleetwood, on loan from Brighton.
There was more action in the opening 20 minutes than during the entire game at Vale Park, though it remained a fairly balanced opening at the Highbury Stadium. Rob Hall tested Chris Maxwell in the Fleetwood net within the opening 60 seconds of the game with a low drive as Dons had the better of the opening exchanges.
The home side looked threatening from wide, but Kyle McFadzean and Antony Kay looked assured at the back and mopped up almost everything pinged in their direction.
McFadzean almost put himself on the scoresheet with a speculative effort just wide, but there was nothing speculative about Lewis Baker's strike from the edge of the box, beating everybody but the crossbar after 22 minutes.
If Lewis Baker was unlucky not to open the scoring, then Dele Alli certainly should have five minutes later. The 19-year-old found himself unmarked inside the six yard box to meet Hall's corner, but incredibly his swing for the volley was too early and he skied it over the top.
It was a miss that almost came back to haunt him when Fleetwood rattled the frame of the goal two minutes later. David Ball made a good break down the flank and his low cross was well dummied by Ashley Hunter for Gareth Evans at the far post, but with the whole goal to aim at, smashed it against the bar.
With the sides around them beginning to edge ahead, Will Grigg had a glorious chance five minutes before half time to give Dons the lead. Latching on to Lewington's ball over the top, Grigg turned and had just Maxwell to beat, but slid the ball wide without testing the keeper.
Fleetwood started brightly in the second half. Former Don Chicksen skipped through the defence but lashed it over the top in familiar fashion, and Gareth Evans missed a sitter after great work from Antoni Sarcevic put it on a plate for him.
But it wasn't long though before Dons were ahead, and it came from a superb counter-attack. Having gobbled up Tyler Forbes' cross, David Martin launched the break down the right, with Spence feeding Alli, who patiently waited for Lewis Baker's run at the neat post to tap home the opener after 55 minutes.
With a fire lit under them, Dons nearly doubled their lead two minutes later when Grigg tested Maxwell from close range, and then again when Kay hooked the ball goalwards, only for Maxwell again to pull off a magnificent, if unorthodox, stop flying across his line.
Dons needn't have worried too much though, as Will Grigg bagged his 20th goal of the season 16 minutes from time to make the result safe. Latching on to a long ball forwards, he shrugged off Stephen Jordan with ease before racing past Nathan Pond to roll the ball home, doubling the lead.
And it was three barely three minutes later when Alli sent a rocket past Maxwell from the edge of the box just to be sure.
With the game wrapped up, all eyes and ears were on the score at Deepdale, Leon Legge's stoppage time equaliser meant Dons move within three points of the final automatic spot with four games to play.

The results revealed that Ca2+ and Mg2+ bind to Human phospholipid scramblase 3 (hPLSCR3) and trigger conformational changes mediated by aggregation.
Secreted Scr3 was taken up by HeLa cells, suggesting that Scr3 functions as a cell-to-cell transferable modulator carried by exosomes in a paracrine manner.
PLS3 is a downstream effector of PKC-delta in the mitochondria.
PLS3 as a critical regulator of mitochondrial structure and respiration, and CL transport in apoptosis.
This enzyme is a novel regulator of cardiolipin de novo biosynthesis and its resynthesis.
These findings indicate that phosphorylation of PLS3 by PKC-delta induces PLS3 activation to facilitate mitochondrial targeting of tBid and apoptosis.
Identification of Alix-type and Non-Alix-type ALG-2-binding sites in human phospholipid scramblase 3: differential binding to an alternatively spliced isoform and amino acid-substituted mutants
TRAIL-induced activation of PKC-delta mediates regulation of the phospholipid scramblase3-induced changes in cardiolipin.
Results show that binding affinities of the peptides are in the order hPLSCR1>hPLSCR3>hPLSCR2>hPLSCR4 for Ca2+ and in the order hPLSCR1>hPLSCR2>hPLSCR3>hPLSCR4 for Mg2+.
results suggest that Scr3 functions as a negative regulator of adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells at a specific differentiation stage and that decrease in the intracellular amount of Scr3 protein caused by reduction in Scr3 mRNA expression
expression of PLSCR3 may be required for normal adipocyte and/or macrophage maturation or function
identified previously unrecognized lipid metabolites that suggest a novel molecular link between obesity, inflammation and the downstream consequences associated with PLSCR3-deficiency
May mediate accelerated ATP-independent bidirectional transbilayer migration of phospholipids upon binding calcium ions that results in a loss of phospholipid asymmetry in the plasma membrane. May play a central role in the initiation of fibrin clot formation, in the activation of mast cells and in the recognition of apoptotic and injured cells by the reticuloendothelial system (By similarity).

Nishi Okoppe Deer Eco-Tour – from game to cuisine (Across the Hokkaido Country Side Series③)
Hello! My name is Tsugumi Takeda and I'm with the Nishi Okoppe Wildlife Association (NPO). I moved to Hokkaido five years ago, and have been living in Nishi Okoppe for one year. Today, I'd like to introduce to you NPO's Deer Eco-Tour 2013.
We started doing these tours two years ago with the intention of giving visitors a chance to really experience Nishi Okoppe's wonderful natural surroundings and while getting an introduction to deer hunting. This will be the tour's third year welcoming guests.
A deer hunting tour like this is something truly special in Hokkaido, but you have to wake up early for the opportunity. The group leaves at down to seek out deer during their morning graze. This time of year, sunrise comes at about 4:30 am. Though we're often scanning the field with still sleepy eyes, it doesn't take long before we find what we're looking for.
The hunter gets out of the car, being careful not to startle the deer, and inches closer and closer. Luckily, the pasture seems to hide hunters well. He continues to get closer to the deer until he is only about 50 meters. Then he stops, assumes position, aims, and with one clean shot takes the deer down.
We all work together to load the deer onto a toboggan to bring it back. Weighing 100kg, the deer is not easy to move, getting to enjoy such beautiful surroundings made it well worth the effort.
Once you've got the deer, you have to prepare it. Skinning the deer requires proper technique to maintain safety and sanitation, so it's important to learn how to do it. Little by little you can see the deer transition from game to meal.
We roast, smoke, and barbeque the venison. It's a feast everyone is grateful to have.
▲Roasting venison in a cast iron skillet – one way to really enjoy the flavor of the meat.
When you go to the super market, you can easily buy packaged meat ready to be cooked. The difference with wild game is the character that comes with each bite: the season, the sex, individual body, age, etc. All of these elements influence the flavor of the meat. This is something you won't be able to buy at any super market.
▲Rich and tender smoked venison – not to be missed!
The meat is high in protein and low in calories. With such high iron content, the flavor is well paired with a nice red wine. Even the pickiest of eaters can appreciate such delicacy.
This isn't just a deer hunting tour. There are also leather crafting activities, like making key chains or phone straps woven with thin strips of leather from one of last year's deer.
▲ A sampling of some of the leather crafts made with the deer hide.
After sunset, there is still fun to be had as we go animal watching with a spot light.
Shining a spotlight from within the car, you can see some of the night wildlife come out. In addition to some of Hokkaido's native deer, you might also find rabbit, fox, or maybe even bear!
The tour takes you through a densely covered tunnel of lush greenery. Along the way, you can find the unmistakable signs of brown bears. You don't need to see the actual animal to feel its presence; just a glimpse at its footprints is enough.
▲Examining the footprints of local brown bears.
Also, you can see a bit of stream fishing or learn about local agriculture.
Once a year there is also an Ice Tunnel Festival. Even in the middle of summer, the temperature in the tunnel, made with remaining snow from the winter season, still hovers below 10C degrees.
The growing population of deer in Hokkaido is becoming a big concern for the environment and local forestry and agricultural industry.

More Saturday Snarkage
Saturday, October 22, 2011
Saturday Snark - 22 October
The dining room was loud with revellers, well into their main courses. Tables were littered with the remnants of cracker papers and empty bottles. I peered through the kitchen door and couldn't help notice how the Kingston Party took up most of the dining room. We'd pushed several tables together along the wall and every seat was occupied with stable staff. Eric, his paper crown set at a rakish angle, presided at the head of the table.
"Put your tongue away," Becky whispered. "Mr. Kingston might want you to save it for later."
"You dirty cow."

The Return of Teaser Tuesday!
We fell silent, me thinking of green grass and a sky full of familiar stars, Billington thinking of God-knows what. I stole a glance at him and didn't envy him his uniform. Even his proximity to the window and the punkah-wallah couldn't erase the sheen of perspiration from his face.
"You'll do well to get out of here as soon as you can." He murmured, without prompting.
"I beg your pardon?"
"If you think it's hot now, in a few weeks' time it'll be unbearable. There's this hot wind that blows dust into every bloody crevice. It's miserable. You can't do anything much between sunrise and late afternoon."
"So I've heard. I'd planned on visiting Simla before heading down to Bombay."
"That's a very sensible notion." He glanced towards the veranda. "As is escaping this room before I suffocate. Are you coming?"
It sounded more like an order than request. I followed Billington onto the veranda where several other gentlemen obviously shared the same idea. They greeted us with nods and carried on with their conversation. Billington leaned against the railing and stared out into the inky, airless dark. "I envy you escaping this place."
"It's not like you to be so blunt, sir." I'd met Billington at one of my cousin's parties not long after I'd arrived. We'd struck up an easy friendship united by our love of fine horses.
"There's more than the weather to worry about." He ran a careless hand through his hair. "There's rumours of trouble with the sepoys. This isn't going to be a safe place."
"I'd heard there could be trouble. So it's true?"
"It's more likely to happen than not." He turned around and stared back into the crowded party. "If I had my way I'd tell every civilian to get out but I'd be accused of scaremongering. If you can change your plans and leave sooner, then do it."
"Jesus. Have you mentioned this to anyone else?"
"I've tried but I've been told that everything will be fine." He looked at me, his eyes dark with a scarcely concealed fury. "I know my men, I've tried to do right by them and one or two of them have told me there'll be trouble. I trust them, I believe them."
The dark beyond the house was suddenly seething with unseen threats. Just when I'd become comfortable with the strangeness of the place, Billington reminded me that there's nothing easy or familiar about India. A peacock called out somewhere in the grounds – a haunting counterpoint to the echoes of laughter and music coming from beyond the open doors of the house.
"I consider you a friend." Billington folded his arms across his chest. "That's why I'm telling you this. Get out and get to Simla while you can."
"I'll do what I can." I tried to arrange everything in my mind, work out what needed to be done before I could leave. Even travelling in India was a logistical tangle.
"Good." He offered me a smile. "I always thought you were a man of good sense. What say we find ourselves a decent drink and do our best to avoid the attentions of the ladies."
"Sounds like an excellent notion."
He grinned then, a sudden fierce warrior's grin. I pitied anyone who crossed him and wished God hadn't made me a man.

Saturday Snark - Number 4
Eric's fingers trembled on my skin. He sighed into my mouth. Our jackets whispered against each other beneath the constant thrum of wind and waves. Eric's tongue coiled around mine and I rested against him, finding shelter. Everything in me rushed towards him, our breaths meshed, fell into sync. We bruised each other, reaching for shared warmth, for what we'd both missed.
"Get a bloody room." A disgruntled passerby broke the embrace. A pair of terriers yapped and ran in crazed circles around us. "This is a public beach."
"Where's the 'No Kissing' sign then?" Eric snapped.

Best CrossFit Gloves for 2020 – Complete Guide and TOP 10 Gloves Reviewed
Have you ever noticed how hard it is to grip the pull-up bar halfway into your WOD?
If you have been at it for a while, you are starting to sweat, and getting a good grip seems impossible.
Maybe you try to chalk them, but that only works for a few minutes, and then you are hunting around the box, looking for the chalk bucket every 5 minutes.
It can be annoying.

Maybe you have thought of using something on your hands but can not decide what is best CrossFit gloves, grips or wrist wraps?
That's a great question!
Before we talk about the best CrossFit gloves, let's get something clear. Let's define the difference between CrossFit gloves, grips and wrist wraps.

CrossFit Gloves
These are full on, real gloves that cover the entire hand. There are some gloves made specifically for CrossFit, and some that are used by CrossFit athletes, but intended for other purposes.
Mechanics gloves, baseball pitcher gloves and football receiver gloves are sometimes used at the gym, and with good results.
In Fact, our number one choice glove falls into that category, but more on that later.
Hot Tip: Look for gloves that are thin, with no padding. They will grip better and give you more feedback from the bar.
You may still get calluses, but they will be minimized with the glove and the added grip more than compensate.
CrossFit Glove Pros:
- Protect your hand from painful and vulnerable tears, allowing you to extend workout time and not miss sessions.
- Minimize callous formation.
- Protect existing injury and tears from infection and re-injury.
- Add grip in the case of sweaty hands.
- Easier to put on than tape, wraps and grips. You can bang out a set of pull ups and take them off easily without interrupting your workout.
CrossFit Glove Cons:
- Gloves can be bulky and in some cases cause slippage.
- Can cause callous tears if the material is too loose.
CrossFit Grips
CrossFit Grips are a leather or synthetic material that cover the palms and are secured at the wrist.
They usually have two or three holes that go over your fingers. The grips can be made of leather, canvas or synthetic material.
They are usually secured by a wrist wrap or band at the wrist. For more info, please see our in depth review on wod grips.
Wrist Wraps
Wrist wraps are for support as opposed to gripping the bar. They wrap around the wrist and support the joint during heavy presses and overhead lifts.
They are sometimes used with grips, but not in place of grips.
Wrist wrap tip: Only use wrist wraps for very heavy loads. If it's a high rep WOD with moderate weight it is best to leave the wraps in your bag so you can strengthen your wrists.
Many gloves feature built in wrist wraps, which is good for some exercises, like deadlifts and other heavy lifting.
The wraps can get in the way on repeated repetition exercises and movements where you need more agility, so just be aware.

If you are a boxing fan, you may find your best Muay Thai gloves here.
How do you choose the best CrossFit Gloves?
Whether you need extra grip for a set of kettlebell swings, a WoD that includes the pull up bar, or a climb up and slide down the rope, you could probably use a pair of gloves at some point during your workout.
Consider the activity in the WoD before you put on a pair of gloves. The best pull up gloves for CrossFit probably aren't gloves with an integrated wrist wrap, because they may get in the way.
The very same gloves may be just what you need for deadlifts.
To Wear or not to Wear
Good grip is crucial on the pull up bar. Some people do not like to wear gloves at the pull up bar for this reason. Gloves can cause you to slip easier.
However, in some cases they are necessary. If your hands or palms sweat, then gloves add grip.
If you have an injury, or an open tear, they are virtually required to help the hand heal and prevent more tearing.
If you are a medical professional or have another reason that would make open wounds or hand injuries unacceptable, gloves are your friend, even if you may slightly compromise grip.
Imagine this:
The pull up bar is used by 20,30 40 who knows how many people each day. They sweat, have dirt, germs, microbes, whatever on their hands.
You go to do your pull-ups and end up with a callous. The callous may eventually tear, exposing you to all the bacteria and whatnot deposited on the bar by all the other people who used the bar that day.
It is our opinion that gloves are a must have if you have a tear or any open cut, to allow it to heal and protect it from infection.
Consider what the gloves would be like to wear. Do they offer vent holes, mesh windows or open panels that allow your hand to breath and perspiration to escape?
So now that we have covered the basics, let's take a look at the reviews.

Posted by By Bowse at 28 February, at 10 : 15 AM Print
Lamar Odom was dealt to the Dallas Mavericks in one of the most shocking moves in this past off-season by the Los Angeles Lakers. Now, a few months later it's obvious the move isn't working for either Odom or the Mavericks. Now, according to Slam Online, Mark Cuban has made it clear that there is no way they buyout Lamar Odom.

A good thing about sweet potatoes is that they are nutritious as they give you vitamin C. You can store them for long without getting spoilt and they are very easy to cook. Lest you forget, sweet potatoes are very delicious. Do you know that you can bake sweet potatoes in an oven? Below are the guidelines on how to bake a sweet potato.
Ingredients of baking a sweet potato are only two and they are vegetable cooking oil and sweet potatoes.
• Baking tray – It will be used to place the sweet potatoes when you put them in the oven.
• Fork – It will be used to prick the sweet potatoes.
• Aluminum foil – It will be used to wrap the sweet potatoes as you put them in the oven.
• Knife – The knife will be used to check if the sweet potatoes are ready.
1. Pre- heat the oven up to 400 degrees. Wash the sweet potatoes well and dry them with a clean kitchen towel.
2. Prepare aluminum foil by cutting it into different squares that will wrap the number of sweet potatoes that you have.
3. Place each sweet potato in the foil and pour a small amount of cooking vegetable oil in each sweet potato. Use your hands to rub the oil over the potatoes.
4. Using a fork prick every sweet potato several times and wrap with the aluminum foil loosely. Make sure that each sweet potato is sealed well, place them on the baking tray and finally put them in the oven to bake.
5. It can take between 30 minutes to 1 hour to be done, that is depending on the number of sweet potatoes that you are baking. After 35 minutes check if they are done by squeezing one of the sweet potatoes, make sure that you have protected your hand and insert your knife in the potato. If they are done the knife should go through the sweet potato smoothly.
You can now enjoy your baked sweet potatoes and if they are any left you can easily sore them in the refrigerator to enjoy them later.

Put together the words refugees and Mediterranean Sea and most people will have the same image in mind: old fishing boats packed with people, human smugglers with dollar signs in their eyes and hundreds of drownings. Another continent, another sea; a similar situation has been going on for decades. Ever since the Cuban revolution people have used boats, often made by themselves, to make the 150 km sea crossing to Florida - by comparison, the distance between Tripoli in Libya to Lampedusa in Italy is roughly twice as long. Cubans arriving in the US are automatically granted political asylum, according to the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966.
To curb the amount of rafters coming to the US, the Clinton administration added the wet foot/dry foot policy, which states that anyone intercepted in the waters by the US Coast Guard is automatically sent back to Cuba. The theory behind this is that Cubans can apply for one of the 20,000 visas the US issues yearly to Cubans, so they don't have to take the dangerous trip through the shark-infested waters of the Florida Straits.
Since US President Obama and Cuban President Raoul Castro renewed diplomatic relations last December, Cubans are afraid the legislation for political asylum will change. To reach the US, Cubans like Raidel Simón Grencibia have to cross waters that are known for its sharks and strong currents to the Atlantic Ocean.
"The moment we heard that the US and Cuba started their talks, everybody went crazy," Grencibia says, a Cuban who arrived a month prior to the US by crossing the Florida Straits in a makeshift boat with eight friends. "Everywhere people started to build boats in secret, because people feared being locked up on the island."
Human smugglers and makeshift rafts
Grencibia used a boat soldered together from used car parts that he and his friends made in a secret hideout in the jungle. It is the usual way Cubans who want to leave the island by water work; they steal material from their workplace, or trade materials as secretively as possible. The resulting rafts are often an interesting sight, of which a few are exhibited in a botanical garden in the Florida Keys: rubber boats strengthened with an iron frame, sheets of corrugated iron soldered together. As may be expected, the boats don't always stay afloat the whole trip; Grencibia had to swim the last three hours of his trip. Many people, however, never make it.
Although human smuggling is fought against heavily, there are still people making money out of moving immigrants from Cuba to Florida in speedboats at $ 10,000 a head. This doesn't, however, happen on the scale as it does currently in the Mediterranean Sea, where big smuggling networks are active and stories surface of people being forced on full boats at gunpoint. Since 9/11, homeland security in the US has much more funding, which provides the US Coast Guard with many boats to patrol the waters. Though used to prevent Cubans from reaching US soil, a side effect of the Coast Guard boats - and the many cruise ships out there - is that people on sinking rafts are often saved before drowning.
Where Florida has the federal government behind them, Italy had to deal with the boat people alone, until recently. As a reaction to the 150 drownings in Lampedusa in 2013, Italy started the Mare Nostrum Emergency Rescue Programme. After the programme was stopped a year later many boat immigrants drowned, resulting in a new EU called Triton, focused on border protection rather than search and rescue.
Italy threatened to issue Schengen visas to immigrants if no deal was struck soon. However, EU talks seem to be leading up to negotiating a possible 18 months of detention for asylum seekers. Deportations in the Florida Straits are a lot quicker; Cubans intercepted at sea by the Coast Guard camp out on deck of the cutters and are deported back to Cuba as soon as possible.
Although the deal with Cuba is to take back the deportees without punishing them, interviews with different recent Cuban arrivals in Florida reveal a different image; the deportees are escorted by the Cuban police as they walk down the streets, which brands them as criminals. Their attempt at fleeing the island is marked in their documents, which makes it impossible for them to find any specialised work.
"During a job interview they will say they do not trust you, because you might leave Cuba any day," says Yuniesky Alcolea García, who arrived in the US on the 6th of June.
Applause for the people coming to 'steal jobs'
Grencibia describes how people on the beach on the Florida Keys started to applaud when they saw him and his friends arrive. Someone ran to the nearest McDonald's to buy the Cubans some burgers and drinks.
This doesn't surprise kayak fishing guide Randy Morrow, who lives in the Keys: "Well, many Cubans have ended up staying in the south of Florida, so here everyone knows a Cuban who had to go through the same hardships to get here."
The discussion about immigrants in the US bears similarities to that in Europe; some people are afraid that immigrants will take their jobs and see multiculturalism as a threat to the original Anglo-American Protestant culture. The issue in Europe is more the fear of Islam taking dominance over Christianity, whereas in the US one of the main issues is language: in certain areas in the south of Florida, the main spoken language is Spanish.
Immigrants always have to start at the bottom rung of the social ladder. But as the concept of the American Dream is - in theory - open to everyone, more and more Cubans are to be found in the higher levels of (Florida) society. Take Marco Rubio for instance, son of Cuban migrants and senator of Florida, who is putting himself forward as a Republican presidential candidate for 2016.
In the meantime, contracts have been signed to renew a ferry line between Florida and Cuba. Although the travel connection between the countries will improve, it will probably soon be harder for Cubans who run away from the Castro regime to receive political asylum, as did Grencibia and hundreds of others.

The delegation is composed of senior rebel leaders including the former South Sudanese minister of Environment, Alfred Lado Gore and Angelina Teny, wife of the former vice president and leader of the rebel group, Riek Machar.
Machar's spokesperson, James Gatdet Dak, told Sudan Tribune that the delegation had a successful meeting with president Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday.
Dak said the meeting discussed a wide range of issues that were vital to the peace process between the South Sudan's government and the opposition group.
"The meeting with president Kenyatta was cordial. It was focusing on the ongoing peace process and the positive neutral role Kenya should continue to play in mediating the warring parties to resolve the conflict," he stated.
The rebel officials, he said, reiterated their appreciation to the Kenyan government for the role it played in ensuring the release of the seven former detainees.
He added that the rebel leaders asked the good office of president Kenyatta to further exercise his influence on Juba to release the four remaining political detainees, who include Pagan Amum Okiech, former SPLM secretary general, Oyai Deng Ajak, former minister for national security, Majak Agoot, former deputy minister of defense and ambassador Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, South Sudan's ex-envoy to United States.
Earlier on, he said, the delegation also met with the other senior officials in the Kenyan leadership including the vice president, William Ruto as well as the foreign minister and the special envoy to the peace process, Delmas Otieno.

I read Chelsea Cain's Heartsick last year and thoroughly enjoyed it, even if I did figure out the murderer halfway through. *sigh* One of these days, crime novels will start surprising me again. The sequel, Sweetheart, focuses a lot more on the relationship between cop Archie Sheridan and prisoner Gretchen Lowell, the serial killer who infiltrated her own murder investigation (as in, the investigation into her murders, not…oh, you know what I mean).
I found Gretchen a lot less terrifying in this book, probably because the background we get on her and Archie humanises her a lot more – we see her more as a manipulative, messed-up woman than a serial killer, even though she still gets a decent body count. I wasn't overly happy about the greater detail that Cain goes into about their shared past – it demystifies it for me, and there were certain aspects that I felt were a little cliched and I had been expecting her to avoid.
Susan, the plucky girl reporter and sometimes sidekick of Archie, is sidelined a lot more in this book – it's his story, not hers (that was Heartsick), but we still get some fabulous scenes between her and her mother, Bliss Mountain, as well as an insight into the harsh realities of her journalism career.
Sweetheart is billed as being part of 'The Gretchen Lowell Series', which implies there are more books to come. Certainly Sweetheart gives the impression of paving the way for further adventures – it's filling in the gaps, giving us a deeper impression of the characters – but at the end of the day, I want more from my crime novels than several hundred pages of exposition with a funky cover.

Step 1Place the bacon in a large, heavy skillet and heat over medium heat. Cook the bacon until the fat is rendered and the bacon crisps, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain the bacon on paper towels. Drain the bacon fat (save it for sauteeing), leaving 2 to 3 tablespoons in the skillet.
Step 2Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until hot and add the mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms until tender, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with the salt. Remove from heat and drain the mushrooms, leaving the fat in the pan. Combine the mushrooms and bacon in the bowl of a food processor.
Step 3Heat the skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook the onion, stirring frequently, until it softens to a rich golden color, about 15 minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic and continue to cook just until the garlic is aromatic, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine, scraping any flavoring from the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and add the onions to the food processor.
Step 4Process the mixture until the bacon, mushrooms and onions are finely ground. Remove from the processor and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate the mixture, uncovered, until cold.
Step 5In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck with the bacon mixture, along with the celery salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika and chile powder, working with your hands to knead the mixture until evenly combined. Form the mixture into 12 patties. The patties will taste best made the morning of, but can be made up to a day in advance; separate each patty with a piece of wax or parchment paper and cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Step 6Heat a grill over medium-high heat until hot. Place the patties on a lightly greased grill rack and cook until charred on the outside and medium (about 135 degrees) in the center, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. If adding cheese, place the cheese on the burger about a minute before removing it from the grill to give the cheese a chance to soften. If toasting the buns, place them cut-side down on the rack to warm and toast slightly for a minute or two.
Step 7Place each grilled burger on a bun and serve immediately. Let guests garnish as desired.

Trainer Jorge Navarro will not have to worry about where he is going to race this winter. Tim Ritvo, the chief operating officer of The Stronach Group, reports that the trainer has been cleared to race at Gulfstream and all tracks owned by the Stronach team.
Navarro's status at Gulfstream was, at least for a time, uncertain because he was temporarily banned from racing at Laurel, another Stronach track. Navarro was the second leading trainer at last year's "Championship Meet" at Gulfstream. With 40 winners, he trailed only Todd Pletcher, who had 58.

Waterfall thundering
Trickling brook,
Son curled up
In a stony nook.
Rain is falling
In misty strands,
Forming rain circles
As it lands.
An ancient tree
With spreading boughs,
Embraces me
In my peaceful repose.
Son then joins me
Beneath my tree,
We are happy to sit here
And just, be
Knobbly roots
Lie all around,
Through the green leafy net
A sombre sky is found.
Then the spell is broken
He's on the move,
I follow his cheerful chatter
And get into his groove.
I am loathe to leave
This peaceful place,
But off we must go
To the woods apace
We walk, we talk
Have fun on the go,
We will find this serenity again
We will, I know.

Oscars snubs can drive you nuts, upside-down. So much so that a handful of those this year no longer made us cringe- though it sure left us bewildered. Considering that Oscar nominations were declared almost 2 weeks back, this list comes quite late in the day. But it's here, and it highlights few movies that came after 2005 and became the poster-child of epic-snubs by the academy.
The Man from Earth (2007)
Once in a blue moon comes a sci-fi that makes you wolf-whistle. 'The Man From Earth' is that kind of a sci-fi. Alright, this one didn't make it to the theatres, but I must admit, I am biased. The movie is too good to be missed, it's too good to be ignored, hell, it's too good to not make the cut. Blasphemy!
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
Line-up all the musicals of the last 2 decades and sit your fanny down to choose the best among them- Sweeney Todd will drink them all up. Johnny Depp slays and slashes his way to acting pinnacle in this masterpiece by Tim Burton- the only man who could make this movie as bloody dazzling as it turned out to be. It baffles me to see a not so extraordinary musical like 'Les Misérables' getting so much recognition in the award circle considering Sweeney Todd was criminally overlooked by the Academy.
Dark Knight (2008)
This is where the superhero genre draws its force from. *Officially* the greatest superhero movie ever made, it makes everything thing else roaming a similar territory look like 'made for toddlers'. Watch 'Dark Knight' and follow it by another smash hit,' The Amazing Spiderman' and you will know why.
I am the last guy on earth to be adrenaline-pumped by flying heroes, futuristic gadgets and all the CGI dump. I have given my taste several chances to have a go at the mindless action flicks, but it just won't surrender. That was until The Dark Knight came. As far as the Oscars go, the movie deserved at least a nomination for its sheer audacity.
Rush (2013)
What went wrong with it! Rush was a sure shot contender for the Best Picture until Academy decided it shut it out from the nominations itself. It was the shocker of the highest degree. Aiming to shock us every year, it was Academy's knockout punch.
Get Low (2009)
There aren't many who have seen this movie, and of the ones who have, there were few who weren't moved by it. With its beautiful gravitas, the movie strikes exactly where its' supposed to. But all discussions on "Get Low" must begin and end with Robert Duvall. Duvall gives an astonishing performance, inside-out. He induces a pulled-back pleasure and an escalated indulgence that sometimes subverts the brilliant story.
The Place Beyond the Pines (2013)
2014 had its share of snubs, and The Place Beyond the Pines stands pretty tall amongst them. This near-masterpiece by Derek Cianfrance struck all the right cords with the audience and the critics, but failed to even budge the Academy.
In Bruges (2008)
Zesty, hypnotic, endlessly surprising and hillarious- that's what the steady state thriller 'In Bruges' is all about. The streak of darkness that runs deep into the trenches of comedy make this movie as transfixing as the Fiennes' 'fairytale town'. Ralph Fiennes, Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are in supreme form. It was syncretism in Bruges. Masterpiece? I don't know. Exhilaratingly entertaining? Damn straight.
Prisoners (2013)
This hugely underrated film, also acted brilliantly, hasn't got a mention except for its cinematography, and I am truly surprised considering how taut this atmospheric thriller is.
Looper (2012)
Yes, I claimed I hate sci-fi, and here I have already done a 2nd round. Well, this statement might make you cringe, but Looper reminded of 'No Country for Old Men'. No, I don't say Looper is anywhere as great, as intense, as hazardously cathartic as the 2007 Oscar winner, but there is an air of immediacy about it that keeps you rapt. The humor and entertainment quotient was pretty high on every scale. Thank god for no gadgets and gizmos, no flying machines, no overdose of computer-made imaginary that might make you root for CGI, but it only makes me root for the credits.
Short Term 12 (2013)
There are some say it was the best movie of 2013. And then there is Academy, which vehemently ignore it. The fact that it didn't make a lot of noise perhaps went against it.
Every movie buff has his share of Oscar-woes, I have mine. The afore-mentioned movies gave me long-lasting jolts of riveting indulgence, and seeing them not getting even nominated was a colossal – I am tempted to say heartbreak – disappointment. Alright, that's a lot of boohoo for the day!

The Met Office has raised a yellow warning for snow across the Scottish Borders and North-East England today (Friday).
They say a band of rain, sleet and snow will move south across northern and eastern Scotland later today, then into the Borders and northeast England on Friday night.
The snow will mainly affect high ground at first, but will fall to lower levels on Friday night.
1-4 cm is likely at some lower levels but with 5-10 cm above 150 m, with drifting in the strong to gale force north or northwesterly winds.
Indeed, severe gales with gusts to 60mph could bring a short period of blizzard conditions to the highest routes later Friday evening and overnight.
The more persistent snow and strong winds will have cleared by Saturday morning, but ice will be an additional hazard by then, particularly for higher level routes.
Please be aware of the likelihood of some difficult driving conditions and some travel disruption.

According to Bleacher Report writer Jordan Schultz, if the NBA Draft was held today, the Los Angeles Lakers would pass on the player many expect them to select, UCLA Point Guard Lonzo Ball. Schultz notes that the Lakers are very concerned with Lonzo's father, LaVar, and the impact he would have. LaVar has manifested fame through the success of his son and with Lonzo landing in a prime time destination like LA, just down the street from where he played college, LaVar could have an even bigger voice. Along with this, the Lakers' front office is concerned with Ball's on-court game, skeptical of whether he can transition to being a true star at the next level.
While his father LaVar is an unknown, who knows how he'll act when his son is in the place he's wanted him to be since the beginning of this process, the Lakers concerns with Lonzo's game are serious and well-warranted.
Ball does has a safety net to fall back on. At the very worst he projects to be a Ricky Rubio type of player who can act as a distributor and play-maker but does little to create for himself. Rubio as a worst case scenario isn't very bad and the best case prospects for Ball should excite anyone. He could be the second coming of Jason Kidd or Penny Hardaway if he adjusts well to the NBA game. However, there are still deterrents that could prevent him from getting there.
The two biggest negatives to Lonzo's game are his lack of elite athleticism and his funky, unorthodox shooting motion. Lonzo does not have blazing speed or quickness like some of his contemporaries in this draft class and it could be a factor that may limit him throughout his career; this isn't a very fixable issue. What is fixable is his lack of great dribble moves that can separate him from defenders, something he will have to work on if he is to create consistent separation at the NBA level.
The other problem Ball will need to clean up to achieve NBA stardom is his shooting motion, which includes a low release point and may limit his dribble jumper at the next level. Ball will need to adjust the shot to get it to work against bigger, stronger, longer defenders or rebuild his mechanics from the ground up. While he should receive credit for being a solid three point and off-ball scorer at UCLA, he will need to do more, such as building a mid-range game, to become an NBA star.
While these are real issues that may hold Lonzo Ball back, it should be noted that he is still the best option for the Lakers if Markelle Fultz is off the board. However, a player to watch for Los Angeles is Kentucky's lightening-fast De'Aaron Fox. Fox could transform into a John Wall-type player as he fills out and learns to shoot better and turn the ball over less. As is, Fox is a speed demon with good mechanics, basketball IQ, and defending ability. If the Lakers are going to pick between Fox and Ball they have two choices; go with the potential homerun in Fox or take the safe pick and select Ball.
