Multiple pregnancy is a pregnancy with two or more fetuses. Names for these include the following:
While multiples account for only a small percentage of all births (about 3 percent), the multiple birth rate is rising. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the twin birth rate has risen 70 percent since 1980, and is currently 32.6 per 1,000 live births. The birth rate for triplets and other higher order multiples rose dramatically but has slowed since 1998.
There are many factors related to having a multiple pregnancy. Naturally occurring factors include the following:
Other factors that have greatly increased the multiple birth rate in recent years include reproductive technologies, including the following:
Multiple pregnancy usually occurs when more than one egg is fertilized and implants in the uterus. This is called fraternal twinning and can produce boys, girls, or a combination of both. Fraternal multiples are simply siblings conceived at the same time. However, just as siblings often look alike, fraternal multiples may look very similar. Fraternal multiples each have a separate placenta and amniotic sac.
Sometimes, one egg is fertilized and then divides into two or more embryos. This is called identical twinning and produces all boys, or all girls. Identical multiples are genetically identical, and usually look so much alike that even parents have a hard time telling them apart. However, these children have different personalities and are distinct individuals. Identical multiples may have individual placentas and amniotic sacs, but most share a placenta with separate sacs. Rarely, identical twins share one placenta and a single amniotic sac.

Mongolian culture
Religion of Mongolia: By now Mongolia's main religion is Buddhism, with 90% of the whole populations are Buddhists. The rest are Muslims, Shamanist and few Christians. Mongolians' first religion was shamanism; it arose during the Clan structure. At that time it was simple, just magic. According to archeological findings, about 100000-40000 years before the people lived on the land of today's Mongolia had this religion. On the ancient earth, every clan had a belief about their origin that they were descended from an animal or a plant, and they called it tutelary genius. The Mongols adored deer or wolf.
For example, the most honored place for the guest is khoimor opposite the door where the family keeps its treasures and khoimor location is in the year of the Rat, a symbol of abundance and richness. The door is located in the year of the Monkey because strangers and guests come through the door (monkey is an uncommon animal to Mongolia). From the religious standpoint, a ger resembles a white seashell, symbol of intelligence in Buddhism. Accommodation in a ger provides a perfect blend of comfort and authenticity.
- The Eastern Mongols is living, from a political point of view, on Chinese territory, on the frontier from
- North-Eastern Tibet, in part in East Sinkiang and on the territory of the Blue Lake (Köke Nuur)
- The Northern Mongols live in the South of Central Siberia, and the Buryates live mainly in the area around the Lake Baikal. The people from Western Baikal are still prone to Shamanism. The people from Southern Baikal and the Buryates in the Trans-Baikal area have adopted the Lamaistic faith with reformed influences. Here, the people also know Tsam performances.
The Mongols are Lamaists and hence also know the Tsam. The "Yellow Church" here determines the area of influence. In Mongolian monasteries Buddhist art, before its destruction in the 1930ies, it had been very highly developed, and there could been found real masters of their art among painters, sculptors, architects, and especially skilled craftsmen.
In the Mongolian culture there may be made out some essential characteristics
- Nomadism accepted influence on the entire life of the shepherds and hunters, on their traditions, their virtues and vice, which the Mongols have in common with the neighboring Turk peoples.
- The exotic and in a way adapted: This is the Indo-Tibetan, by means of which there was introduced also a new religion, Buddhism with its sublime teaching and its scientific encyclopedia (especially medicine)
- The Chinese, which enriched the Mongolian language with a rather important terminology and is associated with the system of administration introduced during the Manchu dynasty and the Chinese works on philosophical and ethical matters.
- Recently, also the European has gained some amount of influence.
- In Mongolia a Tsam play was, for the very first time, performed in the monastery that served Chutuktu of Urga (today Ulaanbaatar), an incarnation of the Tibetan saint Taranatha, in the 16th year of the reign of the Manchurian Emperor Djia-tjing (1811) as residence. Mongolian masters, following the description of the work written by the V. Dalai Lama on the Tsam, fabricated the costumes and masks. There were added to the Tsam four lion figures similar to the lion masks in Chinese parades celebrating New Year; these were a present of the then governor.
Fine arts Before the 20th century, most works of the fine arts in Mongolia had a religious function, and therefore Mongolian fine arts were heavily influenced by religious texts. Thangkas were usually painted or made in applique technique. Bronze sculptures usually showed Buddhist deities. A number of great works are attributed to the first Jebtsundamba Khutuktu, Zanabazar. In the late 19th century, painters like "Marzan" Sharav turned to more realistic painting styles. During the socialist period, socialist realism was the dominant painting style. Among the first attempts to introduce modernism into the fine arts of Mongolia was the painting "Ehiin setgel" (Mother's love) created by Tsegmid in 1960s. The artist was purged as his work was censored. All forms of fine arts flourished only after "Perestroika" late 1980s.
In the 1950s, many genres of fine art, carpeting and porcelain were introduced, when a number of artists and architects became noted for their thematic work. They included painter O. Tsevegjav for his animals; U. Yadamsuren for workers; N. Chultem and G. Odon for history and everyday life; L. Gavaa for nature; and architect S. Choimbol for monuments. In the 1960s there was a great artistic change, as artists began to reject linear perspective and colour harmony and began to work with more modern styles, themes and content. Such notable art works include U. Yadamsuren's The Old Horse-fiddler; A. Sengetsokhio's The Mongol Lady; B. Avarzed's Uurgach; and Ts. Minjuur's Caravan Guide.

Bradley, Skaggs to live tweet Top 100 list
Fans can interact with prospects during Tuesday's unveiling
Another season is approaching, and the next generation of stars is waiting to take the stage. And for one night, several of MLB's best young players will be the main attraction.
On Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET, MLB.com's 2013 Top 100 Prospects list will be revealed on MLB.com and MLB Network, and you're invited to interact with several of the players on the list as they live tweet the unveiling, moderated by MLBPipeline.com (@MLBPipeline), using the hashtag #MLBPipeline.
On board to watch and weigh in on the list are record-setting Reds prospect Billy Hamilton (@b_ham_3), D-backs hurlers Archie Bradley (@ArchieBradley7) and Tyler Skaggs (@TylerSkaggs37), future Mariners battery Taijuan Walker (@tai_walker) and Mike Zunino (@Mike_Zunino), Mets ace right-handed prospect Zack Wheeler (@Wheelerpro45) and Rangers slugger Mike Olt (@molt2222). MLB.com Draft and prospect expert Jonathan Mayo (@JonathanMayoB3) will also be interacting with fans.
The annual ranking of baseball's biggest and brightest young talent is assembled by Mayo, who compiles input from industry sources, including scouts and scouting directors. It is based on analysis of players' skill sets, upsides, closeness to the Majors and potential immediate impact to their teams. The list, which is one of several prospect rankings on MLB.com's Prospect Watch, only includes players with rookie status in 2013.
Who will come out on top? On this night, even the prospects want to know. And many of them have provided their own signature blend of skills that serves as their future calling card.
Take Hamilton, who blitzed his way to a Minor League-record 155 stolen bases in 2012. Hamilton, a former shortstop, has moved to center field in preparation for his ascent to the Majors.
Arizona has two interesting arms in Bradley and Skaggs. Bradley, the seventh overall selection in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, struck out 152 batters in his first season with Class A South Bend last year. Skaggs, acquired from the Angels in the Dan Haren deal, has thrived at Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno.
The Mariners have their own intriguing pair in Walker and Zunino. Walker notched a 4.69 ERA for Double-A Jackson last year, but he's just 20 years old and profiles as a future workhorse.
Zunino, a catcher, was the third overall pick in the Draft last June and batted .360 in stops at Class A Everett and Jackson. Zunino hit 13 home runs in 44 games in his pro debut, and three of those came in 15 games against the advanced pitchers of the Double-A Southern League.
Olt, one of the prospects most often linked to trade rumors this winter, batted .288 with a .398 on-base percentage and 28 home runs for Double-A Frisco in 2012. Olt plays third base and is blocked in the big leagues by Adrian Beltre, but he's also played first base and outfield in the Minors.
Wheeler, one of the top pitching prospects in the league, was acquired by the Mets from the Giants in exchange for Carlos Beltran in 2011. Wheeler went 10-6 with a 3.26 ERA for Double-A Binghamton last season, and he kept his momentum in six starts for Triple-A Buffalo.
For comprehensive prospect news and coverage, be sure to follow @MLBPipeline and visit MLBPipeline.com.
• Bradley (D-backs): No. 8 on RHP list.
• Hamilton (CIN): No. 3 on OF list.
• Olt (TEX): No. 2 on 3B list.
• Skaggs (ARI): No. 1 on LHP list.
• Walker (SEA): No. 2 on RHP list.
• Wheeler (NYM): No. 4 on RHP list.
• Zunino (SEA): No. 2 on C list.

Revision [25564]
This is an old revision of WbarInstall made by darkcity on 2013-01-21 09:37:26.
Wbar is simple and highly customizable quick-launch Panel.
How To install Wbar
This is a collection of guides & tips from various threads/posts in an effort to bring them all together in one place.
Download BOTH of these pets:
Please Note:
If you are using a newer Puppy version (for example: Lupu),
use this pet instead of the one above.
Then install them simply by single clicking on them (Left mouse button),
install imlib2-1.4.0.pet first (or imlib2-1.4.2.pet if using a newer Puppy),
then patched-wbar-1.3.3.pet
When installing the second .pet, a browser window will open Wbar Instructions & Tips,
you will need to close this window to allow the install to continue.
You can open that window again at any time by navigating to: /usr/doc/wbar/Wbar_Install_Readme.html,
there are a couple of other files to read in the same directory.
When the install of both .pets is complete, you will need to edit this file: /root/.xinitrc
please note that this is a hidden file so you need to click on the "Eye" icon in ROX-Filer.
Right click on /root/.xinitrc and select: Open As Text,
now scroll to the bottom of the file and find the part that looks something like this:
#exec $CURRENTWM #v2.11 GuestToo suggested this improvement... which $CURRENTWM && exec $CURRENTWM [ -x $CURRENTWM ] && exec $CURRENTWM exec jwm #END#
You now need to add your wbar "Launch Command" Immediately above where it say's: #exec $CURRENTWM
Exactly what command you enter here will depend how you want to run your wbar,
i will give you an example for you to start with, just change things to suit your own needs. (refer to the files in /usr/doc/wbar)
# Start wbar application launcher sleep 3 && wbar -above-desk -jumpf 1 -pos bottom -offset 30 -nanim 3 -zoomf 1.8 -idist 10 -isize 38 -bpress -balfa 0 -falfa 100 &
Note that this is for running the wbar at the BOTTOM of the screen, if you want it at the top,
change -pos bottom to -pos top
The -offset 30 is the distance (in pixels)
that the wbar will be offset from either the top or bottom of the screen.
You may also need to increase the sleep period from 3 seconds,
that is more trial & error until you find what works.
For more information on positioning the wbar, see EDIT 4: below.
So now the bottom of your /root/.xinitrc file
will look like this:
# Start wbar application launcher sleep 3 && wbar -above-desk -jumpf 1 -pos bottom -offset 30 -nanim 3 -zoomf 1.8 -idist 10 -isize 38 -bpress -balfa 0 -falfa 100 & #exec $CURRENTWM #v2.11 GuestToo suggested this improvement... which $CURRENTWM && exec $CURRENTWM [ -x $CURRENTWM ] && exec $CURRENTWM exec jwm #END#
The reason we put this "Launch Command" in this file, is so that wbar gets launched automatically at each bootup.
The actual wbar configuration file is at: /root/.wbar (another hidden file),
again right click and select: Open As Text
At the top you will see this block
#i: /usr/share/wbar/wbar.icons/osxbarback.png #c: #t: /usr/share/wbar/wbar.icons/Starcraft Normal.ttf/12
you can ignore that, as i left it there to quickly change font.
It is the rest of the file down that is important.
This first block:
i: /usr/share/wbar/wbar.icons/osxbarback.png c: t: /usr/share/wbar/wbar.icons/Creampuff.ttf/16
is where you set the wbar background image
and font & font size.
I included 3 fonts in this directory: /usr/share/wbar/wbar.icons
- Starcraft Normal.ttf
- Creampuff.ttf
- VeraBd.ttf
But you can use whatever font you desire.
That directory also contains the icons, but you can use any icons you like.
All of the other blocks below that one are for each launcher on the wbar,
they all have the same configuration
i: /usr/share/wbar/wbar.icons/kennel.png c: /usr/local/bin/rox t: Home
i: = the path to the icon to be used.
c: = the command to run, or path to executable file.
t: = the text that is displayed beneath the icon
So now all that is left, is to get the wbar fired up,
you need to restart the X server (from the Shutdown section in the Menu)
Please Note:
Any changes that you make to the configuration file ( /root/.wbar),
will require you to restart the X server in order to see those changes.
Launching an application via Wine.
If you happen to be running wine,
you can launch windows apps with something like the following:
i: /usr/share/wbar/wbar.icons/good/photogenetics.png c: wine "/root/Wine/drive_c/Program Files/PhotoGenetics/PhotoGenetics.exe" t: PhotGen
The important part is to surround the path to the .exe file with double quotes.
Tip for JWM usersIf you are using JWM (default in Puppy) then the wbar may open in a window (see attached image)
you will notice this window in the taskbar.
That is not the behaviour that you want, so to stop it doing this you need to edit the /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc file. (Thanks to Kal for the reminder)
Right click on that file and select: Open As Text
Scroll down a bit, and you will see this lot (or something very similar)
<Group> <Class>Gaim</Class> <Option>sticky</Option> </Group> <Group> <Class>xmms</Class> <Option>icon:xmms.xpm</Option> </Group> <Group> <Class>absvolume</Class> <Name>absvolume</Name> <Option>nolist</Option> </Group> <Group> <Name>xmessage</Name> <!-- <Option>icon:info16.xpm</Option> --> <Option>notitle</Option> <Option>nolist</Option> </Group>
Copy and Paste this:
<Group> <Class>wbar</Class> <Name>wbar</Name> <Option>nolist</Option> </Group>
after the last one in the block shown above.
Save your changes then open a Console/Terminal
and enter the following command:
Some of the newer Puppies have a Menu entry for fixmenus
if yours does, just use that instead of the above command.
Now Restart X server, from the Menu: Shutdown > Restart X server
wbar should now start without being in a window.
How to open a directory from wbar.
Wbar does not by default open directories, but there is a workaround,
just create a little script.
I will use an example.
I have a directory: /root/dudesdata i would like to open from the wbar,
this is what i did:
Created a new text file (Using a Text Editor: Geany, Leafpad, whatever)
and added the following to it:
rox /root/dudesdata
I then saved it as: /usr/local/bin/dudefiles
i then navigated to: /usr/local/bin and right clicked on the file: dudefiles
from the popout menu i selected Permissions then clicked on Yes.
This has just made the file dudefiles executable.
Make an appropriate entry in the /root/.wbar file.
Something like this:
i: /usr/share/wbar/wbar.icons/good/kennel.png c: /usr/local/bin/dudefiles t: Dudesdata
Save your changes, then restart the X server.
You should now be able to click on an icon on the wbar
and go straight into your chosen directory.
Positioning of the wbar.
Here are a couple of images to help you choose the right switches.
In all of the above scenarios, if you are using a wbar that supports the -offset switch,
then you can use that to fine tune the final position of the wbar.

Alphabet Soup is a project which attempts to determine a number of things about the shapes of letters in several different writing systems. First, it hypothesizes a set of basic building blocks that all letters are built up from. Second, it hypothesizes a set of rules, a grammar or syntax, which defines how those pieces combine to make different letters. It can generate individual letters, randomize letters in an input string to create weird but readable text, or generate random strings of symbols.
acoc is a regular-expression based colour formatter for programs that display output on the command-line. It works as a wrapper around the target program, executing it and capturing the stdout stream. Optionally, stderr can be redirected to stdout, so that it, too, can be manipulated. acoc then applies matching rules to patterns in the output and applies colours to those matches.

iPad Game Review: The Secret Society - Hidden Mystery Review
Quick Reply
iPad Game Review: The Secret Society - Hidden Mystery Review
Reviewed by JadeDragon
The Secret Society - Hidden Mystery is another hidden objects title from G5 Entertainment. It's built around a story of a young man whose uncle had just disappeared and he was pulled into a world of secret society and hidden mysteries. As with most hidden objects games, the story matters very little to the gameplay, but The Secret Society showcased some awesome images inspired by the theme of secrecy and mystery. The Secret Society offers sharp graphics with Retina Display support, relaxing music and over a hundred goals to achieve. The game has bonuses/power-ups, accompanying puzzle games and the publish promises more updates that will unlock more adventures in the future. The only thing that prevents this game to be the perfect hidden objects title is the artificial pauses the game design puts on the gameplay that make the experience disjointed and take away the enjoyment.
The Secret Society - Hidden Mystery has all the right ingredients that make for an excellent hidden objects game. The game offers 12 locations that look vastly different from one another. The scenes are beautiful and they reasonably set with just enough clutter but not too much. Items you need to find have sharp rendering, and you should have no trouble distinguish them from the background once you've found them. So no cheap tricks here. All other features of hidden objects gameplay are here including finding items based definition, picture, silhouette and night mode. The game offers in-game tools such as hints, extended timer, lanterns for night mode and more, and it also gives you many bonus items before you start a level. The game also offers several popular puzzles including blocks, pipes, memory match and picture puzzles.
The Secret Society - Hidden Mystery has a very controlled and scripted pace when it comes to gameplay. The game offers you over 100 quests, like finding objects that you can piece together to make into your Collections. It's fun to have goals to play for, but the game won't let you unlock levels until you've played the previous ones over and over until you get these rare items to put the pictures of next levels together. And that's not even that bad since the gameplay keeps the repetition interesting by switching between different modes of finding hidden objects. What is very annoying is that it uses an artificial timer that makes you wait until you have enough "Energy" to play the next round again; essentially make you stop playing for a few hours before you can continue.
When you first play the game, you get only two locations/scenes to play with. As you repeat enough times finding the same items, you'll eventually get the picture pieces you need to unlock new scenes. Since the game is free, it uses time delay feature to get you either wait for the "Energy" to regeneration or you give up waiting and buy Cappuccinos that give you energy via IAP. So it costs $1.99 for 16 gems and it costs 5 gems to buy one Cappuccino. If you're an impatient person, you can spend a lot of money very fast. Or you can just use gems to unlock the next picture without find the pieces, and it costs a lot more to unlock the pictures prematurely. Instead of charging you for the game, which would have been preferred method to play the full version, the game breaks up the fluid gaming experience and cannibalizes its awesome gameplay with high price to get over the time delay. That ruins an excellent hidden objects game entirely.
Graphics & Sound
The Secret Society - Hidden Mystery has sharp and colorful graphics that look great on the Retina iPad and iPhone 5. Each scene fits its location with items and decor that match the style of that particular locale. The hidden objects blend in with the theme but stand out when you see them from the background. The game offers beautifully created title images, menu pages, and all other non in-game screens. Everything looks polished and gorgeous. Animations are fluid also, but the game's load time is uncharacteristically slow.
The Secret Society has nice and relaxing background music that goes well with the gameplay.

Pitcher Ian Kennedy, managers Don Mattingly and Kirk Gibson among eight suspended for brawl
Major League Baseball suspended eight players and personnel, including managers Don Mattingly and Kirk Gibson and pitcher Ian Kennedy, and fined four other players for their parts in Tuesday night's brawl between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium.
The punishments, which can be appealed: Arizona's Kennedy, 10-game suspension; Diamondbacks infielder Eric Hinske, five-game suspension; Dodgers J.P. Howell and Skip Schumaker, two-game suspensions; Dodgers hitting coach Mark McGwire, two-game suspension; and Dodgers pitcher Ronald Belisario, Los Angeles' Mattingly, and Arizona's Gibson, one game. All players and personnel were also fined undisclosed amounts, along with Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke, Dodgers rookie sensation Yasiel Puig, Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero, and Diamondbacks outfielder Gerardo Parra.
The five Los Angeles suspensions obviously don't help the underachieving Dodgers, who are in last place, 8 ½ games behind the first-place Diamondbacks. But the harsh suspension of Kennedy is a bit of a surprise and could certainly hurt Arizona, whose starting rotation was already unsettled because of an injury to Brandon McCarthy.
The Dodgers open a nine-game trip through Pittsburgh, New York and San Diego on Friday. The Diamondbacks play three games in San Diego this weekend before returning home for series against Miami and Cincinnati.
The league office required more than two days to sort through a 10-minute scrap that saw about 60 Dodgers and Diamondbacks converge near the first-base dugout, along with the events that led to it. In all, five batters – three Dodgers and two Diamondbacks – were hit by pitches. Kennedy hit two Dodgers – Puig and Greinke – in or near the head.
[Related: Dallas Cowboys inspire star's nickname for Diamondbacks]
The aftermath had each side blaming the other for instigating and prolonging the fight, then for failing to accept responsibility for it. The teams did play 12 incident-free innings Wednesday night.
In its process of investigation and assigning punishment, the league office decided to part from the norm and ramp up Kennedy's punishment for throwing at hitters. It generally has adhered to a discipline schedule established by precedent, in part because the players' union likely would appeal harsher penalties based on past punishments, and likely win those appeals. This time was decidedly different.
But while league officials were appalled by the brawl, they do not sense an increase in the frequency or ferocity of on-field fights, which might explain why only Kennedy's suspension was outside the norm.
The league and its commissioner cannot outlaw pitching inside and missing inside. It also cannot legislate batters' reactions to pitchers missing inside. The issue is in separating what's an accidental miss and what's an intentional miss, and how much of this should be reasonably settled on the field, and just how much posing and posturing and wild haymakers players – and the public – should be exposed to.
Many players and personnel believe the game is capable of policing itself. The sentiment typically holds up until something reckless is brought upon their own ear holes, at which point they are the first to bang on Joe Torre's door, demanding justice. This week alone, San Francisco pitcher George Kontos was suspended three games for throwing at Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen, and the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays tussled when Red Sox right-hander John Lackey hit Matt Joyce with a pitch in the back.
[Related: D'backs react on Twitter to suspensions]
Here's where it all went wrong Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium: Everywhere.
From Kennedy's wildness up and in to Puig. To Greinke's earnestness to avenge Puig with a fastball to Montero's back (on the third try). To plate umpire Clint Fagan's failure to warn both benches at that very moment. To Kennedy's decision to finish it with a fastball near Greinke's neck.
And to all that followed.
To the benches, the bullpens, the coaching staffs, the fans who threw objects on the field, to Dodgers and Diamondbacks both aggressive and out of control.
Immediately, Kennedy and Gibson were ejected. After the brawl, umpires determined Puig, McGwire and Belisario, and Diamondbacks coach Turner Ward would be ejected as well.
That left the office of the Commissioner – Joe Garagiola Jr. and Joe Torre do much of the legwork – to sort through the rest, a very difficult job, even with video.

|Kenan Sipahi and his Tofas SC teammates can take a significant step towards qualifying should they defeat ETHA this week
Five tickets to the EuroChallenge Last 16 are still up for grabs in Regular Season groups A-through-D and up to three of them could meet their holder by the end of game day 5 action.
How They Stand: Pinar Karsiyaka (4-0) have sealed their passage to the Last 16; Both Tofas Bursa (2-2) and KRKA Novo Mesto (2-2) will only know their fate after the final day of action; Michelin ETHA Engomi (0-4) are out of contention.
The decisive game for Tofas and KRKA is their direct clash next week, however both have something to play for this Tuesday.
KRKA receive group leaders Karsiyaka and in the event they manage to defeat them by 23 points or more they will win the group, provided they also beat Tofas on the last game day.
Tofas play host to ETHA and a win would afford them the luxury of losing by up to 3 points when they visit KRKA next week and still go through, if KRKA have fallen to Karsiyaka in the meantime.
Should KRKA and Tofas register identical results this Tuesday, whichever of the two wins next week's clash, by any margin, will accompany Karsiyaka to the Last 16.
How They Stand: Krasnye Krylia (4-0) have qualified; Either Keravnos (2-2) or Joensuun Kataja (2-2) could qualify on Tuesday; CSU Asesoft Ploiesti (0-4) have no chance of progressing.
Joensuun Kataja play host to Keravnos in Finland on Tuesday in a game that will most likely decide the recipient of the second ticket to the Last 16 from the group.
The hosts will qualify if they beat the Cyrpiot side by six points or more. Keravnos will go through if they win by any margin. In case the Finns win by less than five points, the situation will be clear only on the final game day with Keravnos needing to match Kataja's result to go through.
Kataja are coming off an 84-69 away defeat to Kauhajoki in the Finnish League on Saturday.
On the same day Keravnos registered their sixth victory in as many games, 65-52 over Omonoia, and remain at the top of the standings in their domestic championship.
On Wednesday, Krasnye Krylia receive CSU Asesoft Ploiesti and will clinch first place in the group if they win, regardless of what takes place in the Tuesday game.
How They Stand: BK Ventspils (4-0) have already secured top spot in the group; Norrköping Dolphins (2-2) have a chance to qualify on Tuesday; Södertälje Kings (1-3) need to win to stay alive; Tampereen Pyrintö (1-3) have a slim chance of going though even if they lose.
Norrköping Dolphins will take the second ticket to the Last 16 from the group if they manage to beat fellow Swedish side Södertälje Kings on the road on Tuesday and, at the same time, Pyrintö fall to Ventspils.
If the Dolphins win but Pyrintö upset the group leaders in Latvia, the Swedes will need to protect their 11-point advantage from the first encounter between the two teams when they travel to Finland on the final day for the reverse fixture.
The Kings on the other hand need a win by three points or more to have a realistic chance of advancing.
If they achieve that and Pyrintö lose in Latvia this week, then they could go through as long as they beat Ventspils on the final day or they lose but the Finns defeat the Kings on the same day.
Ventspils will still finish first in the group even if they lose both their remaining games, but it is safe to assume they would want to extend their impressive winning streak, currently at 10 games.
Pyrintö can still hope to go through even if they fall in Latvia, as long as the Dolphins lose to the Kings.
|Paul Graham and Gaz Metan Medias can qualify for the next stage of EuroChallenge if they win this week
How They Stand: Gaz Metan Medias (3-1) will qualify if they win on Tuesday; Both Tartu University Rock (2-2) and BC Khimik Yuzhne (2-2) depend only on themselves but neither can seal it this week; JDA Dijon (1-3) are out of contention if they lose on Tuesday.
Group leaders Medias have a second match ball on Tuesday, when they receive Tartu Rock, as a win would see them through to the Last 16 of the EuroChallenge.
Medias in effect need to win one of their two remaining games to secure their passage.
The Estonians and Khimik meanwhile are in a similar situation and still depend on themselves.
The two teams will qualify, at the expense of Medias, if they both win their respective remaining games.
Tartu have the head-to-head over Khimik in case of an eventual two-way tie in the standings, but the Ukrainians are better positioned to take advantage, should the Estonians slip up on Tuesday.
If Tartu were to lose to Medias and Khimik beat Dijon, then Khimik only need to match Tartu's result on the final day.
Interestingly, and despite their fragile position, Dijon still have options not only to qualify but even to take first place in the group.
The French side will top the pool if they beat Khimik by four points on Tuesday and then prevail over Tartu by at least 13 on the final day.
Dijon will however exit the race already this week if they lose to Khimik, by any margin.

There have been starkly contrasting emotions across Europe during recent days, as Championship titles continued to be contested and in some cases decided, whilst clubs such as Arras must now deal with the painful reality of relegation.
|Jantel Lavender and Famila Schio can be considered as the favourites for the Italian league title
Reigning Italian champions Goldbet Taranto won't be defending their Championship crown after being dumped out of the play-offs at the quarter-final stage by Umbertide. They went down 2-0 after failing to tie the series in a gut-wrenching 64-62 defeat as D'Andra Moss poured in 26 points.
Famila Schio had 18 points from veteran Laura Macchi and a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds by Jantel Lavender to safely negotiate Orvieto, although they had to do so without Danielle Mc Cray, who suffered a suspected torn Achilles last week.
Gesam Gas Lucca and Lavezzini Parma also made it into the semi-finals after sweeping their respective series against CUS Chieti and Trogylos Priolo.
Whilst it barely came as a surprise after a horrific domestic season, Arras Pays D'Artois have finally lost their LFB status and will play in the second tier of French basketball next season.
Coming just two years after reaching the EuroCup Women Final it's a real hammer blow for the EuroLeague Women competitors, with their fate sealed after losing their last two games of the regular campaign.
Meanwhile at the top of the classification, a thrilling three-way fight for the last two remaining spots in the top four came to a conclusion. With league winners Basket Lattes Montpellier Agglomeration and runners-up Bourges Basket assured of their semi-final places, Lyon, Perpignan and Tarbes GB all had an opportunity to punch their ticket.
And, it could barely have been more dramatic for Perpignan, who claimed a nail-biting 64-63 road win at USO Mondeville. Elodie Bertal led the way with 13 points to secure her team fourth place and a meeting with BLMA.
The other spot was a straight fight between the other two contenders with Lyon taking a 65-60 home success to inflict disappointment on Tarbes. Mistie Mims was the hero with 21 points for the hosts who will match-up with Bourges.
|Marina Maljkovic will try to take the confidence of Partizan Galenika to the Serbian national team ahead of EuroBasket Women
Hot on the heels of their Adriatic League success, Serbian Cup victory and securing the regular season title in the Serbian League, Partizan Galenika were crowned play-off champions over the weekend, ensuring they delivered a perfect domestic season.
The Belgrade club went unbeaten after taking down Radivoj Korac 78-72, to sweep their closest rivals 3-0 in a one-sided series.
It means the only defeated tasted by the Partizan Galenika players this year, came in the EuroCup Women, where they just failed to make it to the knockout phase of the competition.
The performance is a great boost for Serbia ahead of EuroBasket Women, with many of the Partizan Galenika players in contention for a roster place and especially with head coach Marina Maljkovic holding the reins of both teams.
With regular season title winners Rivas Ecopolis and second place Perfumerias Avenida assured of their place in the Liga Femenina play-off semi-finals, there were two more places to fill.
Despite not having leading scorer and Latvian national team forward Aija Putnina to call upon, sixth placed UNB Obenasa set up a nervy third deciding game and a potential shock for their third place opponent, Spar UniGirona after a thrilling 78-73 overtime success. Spanish duo Patricia Arguello and Maria Revuelto combined for 33 points for the winning team.
Cadi ICG Software joined Rivas and Avenida in the last four after completing a 2-0 series win against Burgos.
Defending Latvian Champions, SK Cesis scooped silverware over the weekend after taking the first ever co Latvian and Estonian League title. They had to overcome arch rivals TTT Riga 67-61 in an intense Final after seeing off RTU/Merks in the semi-finals.
It was Latvian national team playmaker Anda Eibele who took the MVP award after dishing up nine assists. Sharp shooter Ieva Krastina had 22 points for the losing team.

Hendersonville Little Theater has taken on "Romeo and Juliet," giving audiences the chance to see Shakespeare's classic love story for Valentine's this year.
With HLT's growth in the past year, it seems fitting that the community theater is performing a Shakespeare play for the first time in its 47-year history.
After seeing Maria Morava's perfect portrayal of Juliet, I do not wonder why the board chose to do the play. Morava, a 15-year-old East Henderson High School student, delivered Shakespeare as if she were born speaking Elizabethan English. She gives Juliet the perfect balance of foolish young love and the passion that only young love can feel.
In many ways, "Romeo and Juliet" is the most difficult Shakespearean play to perform. It is read in every high school and has been adapted countless ways, making the death of the star-crossed lovers no surprise. The challenge lies in making the lines fresh and characters' connections empathetic. I applaud HLT's attempt at this masterpiece, but I left the theater feeling slightly disappointed and not entirely remorseful.
The play's large cast did give Hendersonville Little Theatre a chance to show off its expanding pool of talent. I was deeply impressed with many of the performances, forgetting that Shakespeare can be a foreign language.
Romeo's clique of friends plays off one another beautifully. Mercutio, played by Kai Elijah Hamilton, makes his entrance with a rush of energy. He is the perfect mischievous ally to Romeo. He has incredible command of Shakespeare, delivering bawdy jokes and hot-witted comebacks with finesse. Jonathan Forrester plays an honest, grounded Benvolio — the voice of reason in Romeo's life.
With "Romeo and Juliet" calling for such a large cast ranging in age and gender, it allowed space for new faces to perform live theater. It was wonderful to see four new youthful actors debuting with HLT.
Luke Johnson, who plays Romeo, was among the teenagers to try out theater for the first time. He nails a moping, lovesick youth in the start of the show, but in the dress rehearsal, his enunciation made it difficult to follow his lines, and his passion for Juliet left much to be desired.
I enjoyed David Timmerman's supporting role as the vengeful Tybalt, Brandon Gash's impassioned Prince begging for peace, Bobby Simcox's dutiful Paris and Henry Syron's overbearing Lord Capulet. Craig Conner portrays a vigorous Friar Lawrence, who is desperate for peace. His guilt is plain when he inadvertently leads the lovers to their end.
HLT's talent truly shines in the scenes between Juliet, her nurse (Beth Norris) and Lady Capulet (Natalie Brodway). Broadway and Norris are the perfect complement to Morava's Juliet. The women's enthusiasm and connection carry the play. Norris is the ideal nurse — warm hearted, jovial — and she fusses over Juliet as her own daughter.
The play was set in the traditional Elizabethan time period. John Arnett's set design created a versatile stage, allowing for Bill Munoz's choreographed swordplay to take on multiple levels and plenty of space for Juliet's famous balcony scene. Munoz has been choreographing fights and brawls for more than 15 years and delivers well-timed and heated conflict.
With the traditional Shakespearean wardrobe, I question director Theresa Cox's decision to have touches of modern garb. Romeo's hair was gelled into a modern comb that smacked of high school hallways. Mercutio's spiked Mohawk, pierced eyebrow, and sparkling nail polish made me feel like Leonardo DiCaprio was just off stage from Baz Luhrmann's 1996 modern version of "Romeo and Juliet."
With this ambitious new season, Hendersonville Little Theater has certainly raised the bar. It has fully embraced the new downtown location, offering more opportunities for folks to become involved with theater. I am deeply impressed with the number of new people expressing their passion for the dramatic arts.
Power of passion, love, hate in HLT's 'Romeo and Juliet'

Privacy Manager for Zeitgeist is a graphical user interface which lets you easily control what gets logged by Zeitgeist. It supports setting up blacklists according to several criteria (such as application or file types), temporarily stopping all logging, and deleting recent events.
Rippix is a fork of ripperX, a fast and easy to use CD ripper. While ripperX does a good job of ripping and encoding songs from a CD, it uses a rather outdated user interface. Rippix tries to fill this gap. This includes porting Rippix to GTK+ 3. Additionally, a lot of deprecated code will be rewritten and documentation will be added. The reason for a fork is that after some hacking on the ripperX code, it appeared that more modifications were necessary in order to port to GTK+ 3 conveniently than what could be appreciable by ripperX devs, like removing all the XPM images (including the logo) from the UI.
Screen Message displays a given multi-line message as large as possible, fullscreen and black on white. You can specify the text when launching sm, or edit it while the program is running.

For the uninitiated, 'Sifl and Olly' was a short-lived comedy show created by musicians Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco that aired on late-night MTV from 1997-'99. It bears the distinction of being one of the most-beloved pieces of original comedy programming the network ever aired, while also being one of the lowest-rated. Sadly, despite fan requests, it's unclear if series will ever see a re-release that isn't so rare that it immediately becomes ridiculously expensive.
On that note, have a crescentfresh chatty.

Assimp is a portable and extensible library designed for reading various well-known 3D file formats. It provides APIs for C and C++ and several wrappers for other languages. It reads more than 20 different 3D file formats (including Collada, 3DS, OBJ, LWO, and X) into a straightforward, hierarchical in-memory data structure that can easily be read and processed by applications. Several post processing steps can be applied, such as normal and tangent computations, index buffer, and vertex cache optimization. The library supports complex multi-layer materials and skinned meshes with multiple animations. A Windows-based viewer utility is provided as an implementation reference.
DXF2papercraft converts a polygonal 3D model stored as a DXF file into a plain drawing in the form of a 2D DXF file. This requires the program to "unfold" the 3D model. The result is a flattened pattern of connected polygons. All edges of a polygon which are unconnected get a so-called glue tab in addition. This pattern is called a papercraft model, and it can be used to build a shape that resembles the original 3D model from paper or cardboard. After all pairs of tabs have been glued together, the paper model corresponds to the 3D object. The final model can be reinforced by fiber glass and resin to obtain a rigid, resilient structure.
The Open Game Libraries is a collection of separately usable C++ libraries for creating games. It provides OpenGL window management, zip file management, OpenAL audio management, a developer console window, input management, bitmapped fonts with Unicode and kerning support, image loading and saving, model loading and importing, and generic classes and objects for game development such as math and text processing.

Disbarred Hendersonville attorney Don Samuel Neill has begun serving his federal prison sentence for tax fraud.
Disbarred Hendersonville attorney Sam Neill is now serving his federal prison sentence for tax fraud, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Neill was processed into the federal correctional institution in Jesup, Ga., on June 10, said Chris Burke, public information officer for the bureau.
A U.S. District Court judge sentenced Neill in April to three years in prison for federal tax fraud. After the federal case was resolved, Neill also was sentenced to six to eight years in state prison for embezzling close to $2.5 million from his clients.
Neill, 63, will serve three years of his sentence in federal prisons and three to five years in state prisons before he will be eligible for release.
Jesup is in southern Georgia, and the prison is a medium security facility housing male offenders. It has two adjacent satellite facilities, including a low security facility and a minimum security prison camp, both housing male inmates.
Neill pleaded guilty to one count of federal tax fraud in a plea deal in April 2012.
In September, he pleaded guilty in Henderson County Superior Court to five state counts of felony embezzling nearly $2.5 million from his clients, including about $884,000 from a trust created to help care for the needy. He confessed to taking the money between 2000 and 2010, and the judge ordered Neill to pay restitution.
Neill's lawyer at the time said his client was working to repay the funds.
"Mr. Neill had taken steps to try to secure repayment to the trust, but as of today (Wednesday), no funds have been received," said Attorney Edward Harrelson, who represents the Edna A. Davis Revocable Living Trust.
Neill took $247,682 from the Davis living trust between Feb. 24, 2010, and Nov. 15, 2010.
Neill also confessed to embezzling $884,517.71 from the Barry Clemo Charitable Remainder Trust, funds that were intended for the Community Foundation of Henderson County and Four Seasons hospice; $850,000 from the estate of Ruth Danis; $442,000 from the estate of Irene Meinke; and $55,000 from the Harold R. Tallmadge Trust.
The money taken from the Tallmadge Trust was to be repaid through a bonding company.
