from The No-Cry Discipline Solution (McGraw-Hill 2007) by Elizabeth Pantley
Children resort to aggressive behaviors because of a lack of wisdom and self-control. It is not a sign that a child is hateful or mean. Kids are human beings and human beings will get angry; we can't prevent that. What we can do is teach our children how to handle their frustration and anger in appropriate ways. If your child uses these physical acts to express her feelings, use some of the following tips to change her behavior.
Intercede before it happens
Watch your child during playtime. When you see her becoming frustrated or angry - intervene. Coach her through the issue. Teach her what to do, or model what to say to her friend. Or if she seems too upset to learn, redirect her attention to another activity until her emotions level out.
Teach and explain
It's one thing to tell a child what not to do or to step into an argument and solve it yourself. It's another thing entirely to teach her what to do in advance of the next problem. This can be done through role-play, discussion, and reading a few children's books about angry emotions.
Examine hidden causes
Is your child hungry, tired, sick, jealous, frustrated, bored or scared? If you can identify any feelings driving your child's actions you can address those along with the aggressive behavior.
Give more attention to the injured party
Often the child who hits gets so much attention that the action becomes a way of gaining the spotlight. Instead, give more attention to the child who was hurt. After a brief statement, "No hitting!" turn and give attention to the child who was wronged, "Come here and Mommy will give you a hug and read you a book."
Teach positive physical touches
Show your child how to hold hands during a walk or how to give a back rub or foot massage. Teach a few physical games, like tag or cat's cradle. Under direct supervision, children who are more physical can gain a positive outlet for their physical energy.
Teach the clapping method
Tell a child to clap his hands whenever he feels an urge to hit. This gives him an immediate outlet for his emotions and helps him learn to keep his hands to himself. An alternate is to teach him to put his hands in his pockets when he feels like hitting. Reward with praise anytime you see he's successful.
Give your child a time out
To use Time Out when a child acts out aggressively, immediately and gently take the child by the shoulders, look him in the eye and say, "No hurting others, time out." Guide the child to a chair and tell him, "You may get up when you can play without hitting." By telling him that he can get up when he's ready, you let him know that he is responsible for controlling his own behavior. If the child gets up and hits again, say, "You are not ready to get up yet," and direct him back to time out.

Exhibition themes Fertility Vessels
Sexually explicit ceramics, displaying a variety of scenarios, are a feature of Peruvian art. Other cultures produced similar pots, but most finds have been Moche. They fall into a series of standardised types, including pairs of animals. Humans are alone, in couples and in group scenes. Images of male skeletons are common, as are large genitals.
The vessels are of a religious nature, although their exact meaning and function remain unclear. Cat fangs on human skeleton figures suggest a connection with Moche feline supernatural beings. The pots appear to have formed part of funerary rituals and were found in male and female, adult and child graves. No more than two vessels have ever been found at any one site.
Early Spanish conquistadors noted a form of ritualised sexual activity at Incan feasts and religious festivals. Other myths reinforce the symbolic importance of semen in relation to agricultural fertility. Alternative theories suggest that these ceramics are simply humorous, especially since, when filled with liquid and poured, they suggest ejaculation.

By The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi's attorney general says state Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney has the authority to establish and manage a health insurance exchange.
Attorney General Jim Hood's office late Tuesday backed Chaney's stance that he has the authority to create the exchange. In a telephone interview, Chaney said he was encouraged by the opinion, but notes Gov. Phil Bryant may still try to block Chaney's efforts. Bryant's spokesman says the governor will continue to "resist efforts to further implement Obamacare."
Exchanges are online marketplaces where people can shop for insurance. Under the federal health law that President Barack Obama signed in 2010, every state is required to set up an exchange. States that don't create their own will have one run by Washington.
Both Chaney and Bryant are Republicans. Hood is a Democrat.

If you have a gym membership -- and actually use it -- you already have access to all the weight-training equipment you could imagine. However, if you want to save the money or prefer the convenience of 24/7 access to all those machines, you'll want to seriously consider a home gym, which are also known as weight machines.
People at all fitness levels can use home gyms. Some novice or light exercisers like them for firming muscles, to incorporate fitness as part of an overall wellness plan, or to help maintain muscle tone. Others want to build muscles or seriously bulk up.
Home gyms are easy to use because they usually isolate the muscle being worked, negating the need for perfect form, and replacing a human spotter with built-in safeguards. Some of those safety mechanisms are stoppers that limit your range of motion or U-shaped bars that do not cross the plane of your body, preventing the bar from seriously injuring you if you drop the weight.
The amount and type of resistance your home gym offers will ultimately define your user experience. This report includes models with each common type of resistance for home gyms, including:
Weight stacks are rectangular weight plates that are pulled vertically along a bar by a cable, just like equipment at most gyms. Users slide a sturdy metal pin into the stack to select how much weight to lift. This makes changing resistance quick and easy, but you're limited by the stack's maximum weight.
Plate loading requires users to heft the weight plates onto the machine's lever bars. All the plate-loading machines in this report use Olympic weights, which have a 2-inch diameter hole in the middle of each plate. Plate-loading machines usually have the greatest versatility, and are also capable of handling the most weight -- perfect for a heavy lifter, but equally accessible for beginners.
Power Rod resistance is Bowflex's proprietary technology. Power Rod resistance uses flexible rods that start out straight. As you move the home gym's handles through the range of motion, you bend the rods. The more they bend, the more resistance they offer. This is sometimes known as non-linear or progressive resistance because the rods offer a progression of increased resistance throughout the range of motion.
Glideboard resistance uses your own body weight to help you build up. Home gyms that use this technology tend to be smaller, lighter and less expensive than other types. To use these, you sit or lie on a padded board that glides on parallel rails. Pulleys are mounted at the top of the rails, and you pull on the cable handles to move the board. The steeper you set the incline, the more your body weight works as resistance.
Ultimately, the only way to be sure a home gym is right for you is to test it. Don't be shy about going to a local fitness equipment or sporting goods store and trying out some of the floor models before you buy online. While there, actually do the exercises, or at least get into the machine and make sure it's comfortable to adjust and use.
Some home gym manufacturers offer a short trial return window, but that's not exactly convenient. You have to put the gym together to try it, which can take anywhere from two to 10 hours, depending on the model. Then if you don't like it you have to disassemble it, repack everything in the original packaging, and return it to the manufacturer at your expense -- all within the limited trial period. To help keep such disappointments to a minimum, we've paid close attention to user comments on how the gyms perform in actual practice, including feedback about whether a gym is capable of handling particularly tall or short users, in making our recommendations.
Owning a home gym presents many advantages, but there are a few factors to consider before buying one. A heavy home gym machine can harm both hard and carpeted floors. At the very least, you'll need to place a good, thick floor pad down to protect your floor. This will also provide a bit of give to help reduce stress on your joints when doing exercises with your feet flat on the floor. If you're renovating a dedicated space for use as a home gym that will include a variety of equipment, interlocking home gym flooring that fits together almost like puzzle pieces is often very well-reviewed and is usually easy to assemble and install.
Some home gyms arrive in multiple boxes but, even then, they're so large and heavy that retailers may use specialty shippers. You might have to create a delivery appointment with the shipper to receive your package. Make sure you're there at the appointed time, or you may be assessed delivery fees.
Read the fine print on the delivery agreement carefully to make sure you understand your obligations. Often, you'll have to pay extra if you want the shipper to bring the box(es) inside, upstairs, or even unload it from the back of the truck. This "inside delivery" is often worth paying for; otherwise, you might end up with a home gym in your driveway. Some users who opt only for standard shipping suggest opening the box and carrying the gym inside piece by piece.
There aren't any expert roundups for home gyms, although there are a few fitness buffs who review individual machines for their blogs. We're cautious when using those, though, as those are often just a list of features. So, for this report, we relied heavily on user reviews to see how these home gyms work in the real world and hold up over the long term. When leaning so heavily on user reviews, we focus on those that provide balanced analysis, discussing both pros and cons, rather than over-the-top five-star reviews, or, by the same token, one-star reviews with no context or related to issues that have nothing to do with the gym itself. We also look for users who have left more than one product review on a specific site or have a verified purchase on Amazon.com to ensure credibility.
The result of our research is our picks for the very best home gyms based on how easy they are to set up, how well they perform for both beginners and dedicated weightlifters, and the overall owner experience, which includes customer service, durability and warranty coverage.

"I wasn't sure if my 9 year old would like these because they are quite bright and colorful but she really loves them. They are different than what her friends have yet match with a lot of her clothing. They would be great in a gray and black combo or a brown and tan combo too, but probably that's an adult's thought, not a kid's. They fit comfortably"

This is a great parody.

Autis-misc is to humor what the South is to America.

Yeah. And those things are parodying certain things. De-motivational posters are parodies of motivational posters. It's a parody because it's mocking/sattirizing motivational posters.
An image of a cartoon character saying "Guys, guess who won the superbowl lol" isn't parodying the superbowl or the team that won the superbowl.

Pour the victory?
"I have adored these shoes for quote some time, but not the hefty $295 price tag. But lo and behold! I found them here on DSW. I was hesitant at first, even spending $80, but I am most certainly glad that I did. Even though they are very, and I mean very, high, they are extremely comfortable and feel very stable. The ankle strap isn't too small, and the width is perfect. Love these shoes."

superb quality - and cute too!
"This is the third pair from Pour La Victoire for me and I love them. They do run a smidge small so I order a size 8 rather than my usual 7 1/2. The quality is fantastic and they are amazing comfy - luv, luv, luv!"

Beautiful but runs very small
"I love Pour La Victoire and have several styles. These are beautiful and unique with the different color trim on the ankle strap, I don't know how comfortable they are because I could barley get my foot into the 7.5. I am a 7.5 in all my other PLV shoes but I have reordered these in an 8.5 because the 7.5 felt like a 6.5! Will update review upon receiving them."

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is the chief city of the eastern Ohio River Valley. Because of its setting, economic opportunities, low cost of living, and growing educational, cultural and medical infrastructures, Pittsburgh is often ranked as one of the nation's most livable cities, making it a great place to live and rent an apartment.
Pittsburgh can be broken down into the downtown area, called the Golden Triangle, and four main areas surrounding it.
The North Side is home to various neighborhoods in transition, with people becoming increasingly interested in renting apartments in this area. It is primarily composed of residential neighborhoods and is known for its architecturally interesting buildings and homes.
The South Side neighborhoods include the Southside Flats and Southside Slopes, and South Hills neighborhoods.
The East End is home to the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, Chatham College, and many city neighborhoods.
The West End includes Mt. Washington, with its world-famous view of the Downtown skyline, as well as the West End neighborhoods Elliott, Sheraden, and Duquesne Heights.
If you'd rather rent an apartment in a more suburban neighborhood, look to the South Hills neighborhoods such as Brookline, Carrick, Beechview, and Overbrook, some of the West End areas such as Oakwood and Westwood, as well as far North Side neighborhoods like Observatory Hill and Brighton Heights.

All quotes tagged Globalization
(875 quotes found)
"The global importance of the Middle East is that it keeps the Far East and the Near East from encroaching on each other"
"Our work has only begun. In our time we have an historic opportunity to shape a global balance of power that favors freedom and that will therefore deepen and extend the peace. And I use the word power broadly, because even more important than military and indeed economic power is the power of ideas, the power of compassion, and the power of hope."
"Globalization is not something we can hold off or turn off . . . it is the economic equivalent of a force of nature -- like wind or water."
"That's just about girls. It's weird that whatever else is on your mind, whether it's the downfall of global economics or terrible environmental troubles, the thing that always gets you most is when you fancy someone"
"We are in a struggle against a globalization that has no place for principles, values and standards."
"Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world."
"We cannot wait for governments to do it all. Globalization operates on Internet time. Governments tend to be slow moving by nature, because they have to build political support for every step."
"If you're totally illiterate and living on one dollar a day, the benefits of globalization never come to you."
"This is a very exciting time in the world of information. It's not just that the personal computer has come along as a great tool. The whole pace of business is moving faster. Globalization is forcing companies to do things in new ways."

Shampoo For Thinning HiarAfter using an entire bottle of shampoo along with the Osmotics Revitalizing Conditioner and Folicle Nutrient Serum for many weeks, my hair did seem somewhat thicker. Its directions state that a "slight tingling sensation is normal" with use and to me it felt like a slightly warm sensation on my scalp. This was in no way uncomfortable and was kinda neat because it made me feel like it was working. Although it's slightly sour/lemon smell was not my favorite scent, I liked that it is safe for colored hair. Overall, this seems like a decent product for thinning hair. It would be interesting to see the type of results that would or would not occur with longer use.Jun 22, 2010Adrian / Morton,Pa

The New Secret Weapons
Stephen Webb
January 29 2010 11:05AM
I'm sure everyone in Vancouver has seen and dissected the infamous Chicago Blackhawks limo pictures starring Patrick Kane. I do applaud him for making the decision to upgrade from taxi cabs to limousines, since, well you know.. cough cough.. Buffalo. Cheap Shot? Well, yeah, but after seeing Andrew Ladd play I felt inspired.
No, instead of focusing on Kane and his teammates and their bizarre wardrobe or lack thereof, (shirtless? must be for aerodynamic reasons) or their choice of beer, I'm going to zero in on their special ladies. Not in the terribly mysoginistic (evil sounding) ways other places have talked about their appearance, just a mildly sexist (like the uncle everyone has and likes despite his "opinions") look at what they mean to the Canucks.
Some people opine that they are traitors, fraternizing with what is quickly becoming the Canucks most despised foe, and as a result betraying the Canucks and Vancouver as a whole. But, if we check the scoreboard and see the result of the game, a score that had to surprise even the most hardcore Canuck supporter, we may have to give a little thanks to these "traitors". Tiring out the Hawks and giving the local heroes a greater chance to win, almost a textbook definition of taking one for the team.
All apologies to anyone offended by this, but if we remember the classic Spinal Tap discussion of the differences between sexy and sexism, they finally conclude that it's a fine line between clever and stupid. I couldn't agree more.
January 29 2010, 11:51AM
Ha! this actually make ma laugh out loud... Does anyone have links to the Patrick Kane photos? You should include them in the article!
@Van Wilderness
Good point!
I'll dig them up and add them in shortly.

[Comments on Retroactive Pay Increase for GPO Employees]

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO commented on whether the Government Printing Office (GPO) could retroactively apply a revised pay increase for its non-bargaining-unit employees. GAO noted that: (1) GPO could grant the pay increases retroactively, since the Joint Committee on Printing agreed with GPO on the effective date of the pay increases when it stayed implementation while reviewing the increases; and (2) the Joint Committee ultimately authorized the increase, including making it retroactive.

Jennifer is a one in a million stay-at-home mom. (More like one OF a million stay at home moms!) She graduated from a liberal arts college but there is nothing liberal OR artsy about her. She is married to Kevin Fischer of This Just In, and together they have a beautiful young daughter Kyla Audrey. In no particular order she loves dogs, wine, a good bargain, her family, pizza, and entertaining. Follow her blog of all things miscellaneous including but not limited to cooking and baking, entertaining and party planning, being a mommy, and homekeeping.
Yet another Mommy chimes in
If I wanted to go back to school and earn an advanced degree it would be in Psychology, with the focus on Mommy Minds. Oh, OK I know this degree doesn't exist but it sure would make for some great papers! Wow, we are tough on ourselves, aren't we? Sometimes I think I'm the only one who feels like I do. Then I read another mommy blogger like the one I referenced on this blog.
And now (thanks to a post on a good friend's Facebook page) another mom chimes in. It amazes me that there can be soul-searching, insightful women like Glennon and Dianne and still the back-stabbing and cat fights occur.
Tell me if these words don't ring true as well.
I'll admit that I've never watched a single entire episode of either Oprah or Dr. Phil. But is it any wonder they've done so well for themselves? Someone could make millions with the next book in the series: "Motherhood for Dummies." Know why no one has written it? No one, and I mean NO ONE, has the answers!

British Gas Swimfit to launch at all Spirit Health Clubs
8 October 2013
Spirit Health are going to greater lengths to get more people swimming with the launch of British Gas Swimfit in all their clubs across the UK and Ireland.
Launching Monday 7 October 2013, Spirit Health will become the first national operator to launch Swimfit in all 40 pools within their care. Spirit Health clubs are part of the InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG); swimming's official hotel provider.
To find out more about British Gas Swimfit, click hereSwimfit is a motivational tool for the pool developed by the experts at the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA), supported by British Gas and Speedo.
The programme is designed to help swimmers achieve their fitness goals, whether that is weight loss, to tone, to improve technique or just to become fitter and stronger. Supported with easy to follow session cards, swimmers have the option to progress independently or take part in a scheduled group swimming class.
Delivered by trained Activators, the group sessions bring a social element to the pool as well as providing swimmers the confidence, motivation and support they need to get the most out of their session. Swimmers can also log and track their swims with the on-line coach at swimfit.com.
Mark Mantell, Spirit Health and Fitness Operations Manager, commented: "We had been looking for a swimming based programme for some time which would offer our pool users the same level of engagement and progressive goal settings that gym users currently receive".
"We had been looking for a swimming based programme for some time which would offer our pool users the same level of engagement and progressive goal settings that gym users currently receive," - Spirit Health and Fitness Operations Manager Mark Mantell"For our clubs teams, Swimfit represents more than just a group activity session for members and a series of swimming programme cards, it is a vehicle through which we can better support and engage all our members who primarily use only the swimming pool. It is also a value added service we can offer to hotel residents to enhance their hotel stay experience.
"Swimfit can now be incorporated into our member programming right from the initial induction, though to exercise prescription and also into our club member retention initiatives. The scheme has also provided us with an opportunity to up skill our club staff who will deliver the programme. They in turn have welcomed having another skill and qualification to add to their resume."
Trained by the dedicated team at the ASA, Spirit Health will be able to offer four trained Activators per site.
Lara Lill, ASA Head of Health and Wellbeing commented: "The ASA is delighted to be working in partnership with Spirit health clubs to provide the Swimfit programme. Swimfit is a great way to motivate participants in the pool and to keep them coming back. Spirit is in the unique position of having a number of pools of various dimensions.
"Spirit has worked closely with us to ensure all the Activators are fully trained and as a result we are confident in the success of the programme."

President Obama urged Twitter followers on Monday to lobby Congress for a debt reduction deal that includes higher taxes on the wealthy.
"Keep pressure on Congress," Obama tweeted during a chat that was part of the White House "My2K" Twitter campaign to drum up support for its position in the "fiscal cliff" debate.
The "My2K" hashtag refers to more than $2,000 in extra taxes that average American families would pay if the government falls off the cliff and a series of tax cuts expire at the start of 2013.
During the chat, Obama stressed that higher tax rates on Americans who make more than $250,000 a year are essential to a "balanced" plan to reduce the nation's $16 trillion-plus federal debt.
Without higher income tax rates, Obama wrote followers, the government might have to raise more revenue by eliminating certain tax deductions, including the one for home mortgages.
The president said he would work with Republicans, but would also oppose budget cuts that could damage education, research and development, or "vulnerable" Americans.
The Twitter chat also featured personal touches; Obama told one follower he liked her hair, and had shout-outs to Chicago Bears football and Chicago Bulls basketball.
Here are some of the president's responses, all signed by "bo" -- in reverse order:
Gotta go. Thx. Keep pressure on Congress. Call, email, tweet your Member & tell them what 2k means to you. Lets get it done. #my2k -bo
da bears still gotta shot, despite sad loss this weekend! plus rose will return for playoffs!!! -bo
don't expect 100% my budget; room to negotiate. if you incl $1T+ in cuts already made, rough balance b/w rev & cuts does trick -bo
breaks for middle class impt for families & econ. if top rates don't go up, danger that middle class deductions get hit - bo
(part 2) Open to more smart cuts but not in areas like R&D, edu that help growth & jobs, or hurt vulnerable (eg disabled) - bo
(part 1) already cut $1T+ in gov spending last yr. Discretionary spending lowest as % of GDP since ike. #my2k
cuts w/out revenue = reductions in student loans; work/study & college tax credits expire. Bad for growth. like your hair! -bo
high end tax cuts do least for economic growth & cost almost $1T. extending middle class cuts boosts consumer demand & growth -bo
we can reduce deficit in balanced way by ending tax cuts for top 2% + reforms that strengthen safety net & invest in future -bo
hey guys - this is barack. ready to answer your questions on fiscal cliff & #my2k. Let's get started. -bo

Narcissistic personality disorder is a condition in which people have an excessive sense of self-importance, an extreme preoccupation with themselves, and lack of empathy for others.
Cause of this disorder is unknown. Early life experiences, such as particularly insensitive parenting, are thought to play a role in the development of this disorder.

Narcissistic personality disorder is diagnosed based on a psychological evaluation that assesses the history and severity of the symptoms.

Down by nine points (16-25) with 30 minutes of the match remaining, the visitors hit back with 21 unanswered points to end an entertaining encounter on top.
The men from Canberra were fresh off a bye and continued to impress even without in-form pivot Christian Lealiifano, with his replacement Zack Holmes putting in a quality performance that will no doubt have coach Jake White sleeping easier at night.
History was certainly against the Brumbies, who had not won across the Tasman since 2009. But form prevailed as White's troops bagged a four-try bonus point for their efforts that gives them plenty of breathing space at the top of the Australian conference.
The Hurricanes also managed four tries, however a disappointing day with the boot cost them as Andre Taylor, who did add one conversion and a penalty, and Beauden Barrett missed a number of chances between them to let the visitors off the hook.
Holmes had no such problems and he opened up his account with an early penalty before adding the extras when number eight Fotu Auelua powered over from close range after eight minutes.
Livewire scrum-half TJ Perenara hit back for the Hurricanes as he sniped over down the blindside after a textbook catch and drive from the pack.
Holmes and Taylor exchanged penalties but it was the Hurricanes who moved into the lead when a superbly crafted move off a scrum saw Victor Vito crash over.
That saw the home side lead 15-13 at the break – and they must have thought it was game over when they struck twice in quick succession after the interval.
First Perenara put the Hurricanes in control after an excellent finish – the 19-year-old showing brilliant vision from the base of the ruck to leave the Brumbies defence trailing in his wake.
And although Holmes reduced the deficit with a penalty, replacement prop Jeffery Toomaga-Allen made an immediate impact off the bench for the home side when he burrowed his way over.
However the Hurricanes were made to pay for switching off when Scott Fardy broke through some weak tackling, with the lock finding partner Sam Carter with the scoring pass.
And worse was to follow for the Hurricanes as they coughed up possession from their own scrum, with in-form flank Michael Hooper driving over to put the Brumbies in front.
Missed tackles then allowed Holmes to cap a superb display with the bonus point try – with the fly-half also adding his fourth conversion of the night.
The scorers:
For Hurricanes:
Tries: Perenara 2, Vito, Toomaga-Allen
Cons: Taylor
Pens: Taylor

Gloucester director of rugby Nigel Davies makes one change to his backline and four in the pack to welcome Harlequins to Kingsholm.
Gloucester director of rugby Nigel Davies makes one change to his backline and four in the pack to welcome Harlequins to Kingsholm.
Third in the Aviva Premiership table will play fifth as the race for top four places hots up, and the game at Kingsholm kicks off a weekend of key action.
The one change in the backs from the team that started against London Welsh last weekend, sees Henry Trinder replace Mike Tindall in the midfield as Gloucester continue to field an all English back line.
Up front, Koree Britton will make his first start in the Aviva Premiership at hooker, while Lua Lokotui returns to partner Jim Hamilton in the second row.
Meanwhile, Tom Savage and Akapusi Qera resume their usual positions as blindside and openside flanker respectively.
After three weeks without a game, Davies acknowledged that his team weren't initially at their best against London Welsh last weekend but will be looking for a more complete performance against Harlequins.
"We were probably a bit rusty, definitely didn't work to the patterns that we did earlier in the season, although we saw a bit of it towards the end of the game in the last 20 minutes when we opened it up again," said Davies.
"What we've done this week is look within ourselves as a group, just refocus on what's important to us and look at the individuals that we have within the team and what we're capable of.
"It's all about how we perform on Friday night. It's a big game, against a tough opponent who have been trailblazing over the last two or three years in terms of their performances and results. So, it'll be a big test for us.
"But we're still very much in the fight. It's about seeing what we can do, and taking our game to the next level."
Meanwhile, with just a five-day turnaround between the back-to-back away games, Harlequins make six changes to the starting line-up that lost to Saracens last Sunday.
Among the backs, Ross Chisholm comes in for Ugo Monye, while George Lowe and Tom Casson combine in the centres in place of Jordan Turner-Hall and Matt Hopper.
In the forwards, Rob Buchanan is named at hooker, with Olly Kohn returning from a hamstring injury to start in the second row.
With Chris Robshaw being rested for this fixture, Luke Wallace joins Tom Guest and Nick Easter, who captains the team, in the back-row.
Form: Quins will attempt to win at Kingsholm against Gloucester in the Aviva Premiership this weekend for the first time in 14 years as Conor O'Shea's men look to avoid losing a third straight league game. Harlequins have slipped to successive defeats at the hands of Exeter Chiefs and Saracens, adding no league points to their total in the process and have not lost three games in succession in the Premiership since early 2010. Gloucester's only defeat at Kingsholm in the Aviva Premiership since the opening weekend was to London Irish in January. Harlequins were victorious when the two clubs met at the Twickenham Stoop in round 8, but the Londoners have not won at Kingsholm in the Premiership since 13 February 1999.
The teams:
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 Charlie Sharples, 13 Henry Trinder, 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 Jonny May, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Dan Robson, 8 Sione Kalamafoni, 7 Akapusi Qera, 6 Tom Savage, 5 Jim Hamilton (c), 4 Lua Lokotui, 3 Shaun Knight, 2 Koree Britton, 1 Dan Murphy.
Replacements: 16 Huia Edmonds, 17 Nick Wood, 18 Dario Chistolini, 19 Will James, 20 Andy Hazell, 21 Dave Lewis, 22 Mike Tindall, 23 Martyn Thomas.
Harlequins: 15 Mike Brown, 14 Ross Chisholm, 13 George Lowe, 12 Tom Casson, 11 Sam Smith, 10 Nick Evans, 9 Danny Care, 8 Nick Easter (c), 7 Luke Wallace, 6 Tom Guest, 5 George Robson, 4 Olly Kohn, 3 James Johnston, 2 Rob Buchanan, 1 Joe Marler.
Replacements: 16 Joe Gray, 17 Mark Lambert, 18 Will Collier, 19 Charlie Matthews, 20 Joe Trayfoot, 21 Karl Dickson, 22 Ben Botica, 23 Matt Hopper.
Date: Saturday, 29 March
Venue: Kingsholm
Kick-off: 19:45 GMT

I was just thinking about how John Fogerty was once sued basically for plaigiarizing the work he had produced as the frontman for CCR. Someone else owned the rights for CCR's music when the suit was filed and claimed that Fogerty was repackaging something that they had already secured the financial rights to.
Although it's a little crazy to think about, it is worth considering that EA still runs and profits from Dark Age of Camelot. I am still subbed to DAoC, meaning that I pay them for my love of a product that was developed largely by MJ. They do have a claim to profit from the intellectual property of that game. And so much of the development of CU seems intimately linked to our (both the gamers' and MJ's) experiences with that game.
It'd be a shame to see any sort of lawsuit, especially after CU is funded through kickstarter. What assurances can City State give to its backers that this will not be an issue? Yes, I know that MJ is a lawyer -- how are the legal aspects of this project being handled?
Camelot existed long before videogames. EA has no claim.
Boycotting EA. Why? They suck, even moreso since 2008.

I think a evry good question is posed and would love to hear what a lawyer thinks of this. I have huge hopes for this game and hope it is a major success.
Until the game is out the developpers must have benefit of doubt. If EA comes out with any claims they will be counter-sued for professional spying while allowing the devs to change the game enough so all the claims they attempted become invalid. Also, IP laws that promote monopolies only exist in the USA and the UK. Elsewhere, you can make a copy of a game, change all the names & looks and its fine as the mechanics will see the source code compared, not how it functions when the game is running. Where is the dev team based?

Nope, those are game mechanics too. If someone from EA handed the source code over and they used it without modification, then it could be trouble. I doubt anyone that wants to succeed would take source code from EA though.

Given US copyright laws, I hope their game in no way ressembles DAoC, for their sake, unless of course Mark Jacobs still owns some rights to DAoC, which is not impossible.

why would it matter if it resembled it? Camelot is public domain and video games resemble eachother all the time.
DAoC - Excalibur & Camlann
I remember an article in which Jacobs was talking about the development of DAOC. One of the reasons they chose Camelot was the fact that it was one of the most well known IPs in the world that was also public domain, thus completely free to use.
I guess it remains to be seen what rights each entity has, or whether or not CU infringes on DAOC.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.

MJ has said in the past that he could make DAoC 2 if he wanted. So he must have the rights.
Actually, what I said was that I could make a spiritual successor to Dark Age of Camelot if I wanted to do so. Spiritual successors are not the same as sequels, Lots of good info out on the web about what spiritual successors are and how often they are created by the original authors of IP who have lost the rights to the IP. Now, even having said that, I am not making a spiritual successor to that game or even saying that CU is a spiritual successor because I'm not making a spiritual successor and I'm not going to lie to players about it. The title Camelot Unchained is both a bit of a inside joke directed at certain people (not EA) and refers to part of the world map used in our trailer (which nobody has yet noticed). It is also a working title but why not have a little fun at the same time.

Yep, that's why I chose it years ago and fhe same reason I can use it now. Just as lots of public domain works are being used for example, including Oz. Disney's got a film, I've got a game, plays, books, etc. The use of public domain IP, especially something as old as Camelot, is very safe. It's actually funny that when we were pitching Dark Age of Camelot of all the publishers most said we couldn't protect it and that's why I told them the game is called Dark Age of Camelot and not Camelot.

Without going into legalese, it simply easier to say that unless I decided to copy the exact mechanics of Dark Age of Camelot, the look and feel of Dark Age of Camelot, the classes of Dark Age of Camelot, etc. I'm in safe territory. If you want to see how this works in real life, grab the court documents from the EA & Zynga lawsuit. They will give you a great insight into the kind of stuff that would certainly get EA's dander up, as it should.
Now, this is one of the many reasons why I didn't want to create a spiritual successor or something that was trying to be a "sequel in sheep's clothing" with CU. It's why I came up with the idea of using a shattered world, to show that this is taking some of the public domain stories that have been the basis of lots of games, books, films, etc. and giving them an entirely new slant. It's again one of the reasons I'm not lying to the players by saying "This is the sequel I always wanted to do!" or something like that. Our game is going to be very different from Dark Age of Camelot, built on a different engine, with a extremely different team, etc. and that's what counts.
Oh, as to the whole use of the word "Camelot" thing. Well, the word camelot was not trademarked by Mythic Entertainment, the term Dark Age of Camelot was TMed and that what is protectable. the whole phrase, not a single word. In many TMs, including March on Oz, we acknowledge that we don't have a claim to use the word Oz, outside the entire TM. It's one reason why you can have so many TMs with the word Oz in it being held by so many different people. FYI, EA owns multiple TMs on the word Battlefield and that's why they are able to, if they choose, to enforce the word itself (since the single word is the TM in that case). Again, in the case of Mythic and Dark Age of Camelot, we only TMed the phrase and didn't try to TM the word since it probably would have gotten rejected and/or would have been what is known as a "weak" trademark as it is a common word in wide usage as opposed to Dark Age of Camelot which is a very strong TM. Currently, Camelot is used in over 50 live TMs (total of 194 iwith dead ones), including Kabam's "Kingdoms of Camelot" and that is a wee bit closer to Dark Age of Camelot than my working title and they haven't sued Kabam.
Anyway, that's my quick info dump for those that are interested.

I hope MJ is right because I can see EA trying something if it looks like CU will be a success.
FYI, I've also vetted everything with my lawyer first of course. Again, I'm not trying to steer close to the rocky shoals of making an "unofficial" sequel, I honestly think that would be wrong. I simply want to use some of the same core legends and then create a new and very different IP and a different game but a great RvR game.
Heck, it could even turn out that Matt's game could be closer to Dark Age of Camelot then mine will be. We'll have to see what other stuff is revealed, I'm looking forward to seeing more.
I appreciate the concern but I would not have gone down this path if I thought it would end up in litigation or I was trying to do something shady. I've been very upfront with potential players, especially players/former players of Dark Age of Camelot and like I said, the name is just a working title. We're still thinking about the name for the game just like Obsidian did with their "Project Eternity" Kickstarter. We've got some good possibilities but we're not ready to reveal it yet and frankly, it might not even have Camelot in its name. Those Vikings and TdD are already prickly about Arthur's realm being dad's favorite.
Thanks again for the concern.

I don't think anybody knowingly ripped anything from AoC, hows that turd doing anyway? still floating?

Future Crew - High Council. Planetside 1 & 2.
When it comes to the name i think EA cant do anything about the name Camelot. Like MJ said, they trademarked the the whole Daoc name, not the word. With that said, If EA even try to do something about the word "Camelot" used by itself in other games then i see EA in a lot of trouble since there are 2 games called "Dark Ages", one from 1991 for MSdos, and an mmo from 1999 using those names way before Daoc.
I think if CU is about Camelot, whether its Camelot Unchained, Camelot something else. Or "[insert name here]: camelot something", it should have the word Camelot somewhere in there since theres no problem with that specific word.

Excellent explanation, Mark. As always, whenever I ask a question about this game, I am highly impressed by the answer. Very good sign, that.
Thanks, appreciate it. I want people to ask questions, it's one of the reasons I'm spending so much time writing the blogs and talking to players here. I could simply do the interview thing and that would be more than enough to help the Kickstarter campaign. I don't expect the things I say here are going to change some people's opinions and that's okay. I hope that over the course I time I'll be able to do that but it isn't going to happen before March. I'm spending so much time here and the other places I've been posting because I really, really want feedback from some of the hardest core, most experienced players that I can reach through forums. It's not a perfect sample group (no group is) but I know that the vast majority of people who post here have played a lot of MMOs and have very strong opinions. That's exactly what I need to hear now and even more importantly, what I'll need to hear if the Kickstarter funds. Like I said, I know some people's opinions wouldn't change no matter what I say and do going forward but man, it's not 2005 on so many levels it's not even funny and that, in almost every way, is both so damned good and a game changer and I plan on proving that to people, even if they still won't admit it.
Thanks for the feedback, questions, etc. I hope you'll be among our supporters next month but if not, thank you.

New Study: Smoking and Second Hand Smoke Cause Brain Damage
Jason Mick
June 25, 2009 4:35 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
A new study shows that smoking tobacco cigarettes, like consuming alcohol, can lead to severe brain damage, though the mechanism is different. The study also suggests that second hand smoke exposure can also lead to brain damage.
(Source: The New York Times)
Perhaps that Guiness World Book Record for most cigarettes smoked wasn't such a good idea, now that the brain damage smoking tobacco causes is known...
(Source: Guiness World Book of Records)
Move over alcohol, brain damage has a new buddy
New research is set to
be published
in the July issue of the
Journal of Neurochemistry
that looks to offer yet another damning medical argument
against smoking
and allowing
second hand smoke
in public locations. The new report finds that Tobacco smoke contains a compound which can cause brain damage.
The new study examined NNK, a procarinogen. NNK is a toxic derivative of nicotine produced when the chemical is cured in preparation for use in cigarettes. NNK is not found in other smoked drugs,
such as cannabis
Before the study it was thought that the compound could be damaging to the body, but it was unclear how damaging it was. In the study, performed by Debapriya Ghosh and Dr Anirban Basu from the Indian National Brain Research Center (NBRC), it was found that the compound caused white blood cells in the central nervous system to attack healthy cells causing severe neurological damage.
Unlike alcohol or other forms of drug abuse, the drug does not impact brain tissue directly via oxidation or receptor damage. Rather, it triggers an inflammatory immunological response that is believed to lead to Multiple Sclerosis and other brain diseases.
Both with in vivo, in mice, and in vitro tests, the researchers discovered that the compound elevated proinflammatory signaling proteins, proinflammatory effector proteins and other stress related proteins, and increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines, which act as molecular messengers between cells. These factors led to increased activity by microglia, the brain's white blood cells responsible for attacking intruders.
The microglia turned on healthy cells, due to the increased level of these compounds. States Professor Ghosh, "Considering the extreme economical and disease burden of neuroinflammation related disorders, it is extremely important from a medical, social and economic point of view to discover if NNK in tobacco causes neuroinflammation. Our findings prove that tobacco compound NNK can activate microglia significantly which subsequently harms the nerve cells.
While most studies have focused on health threats from smoked tobacco, NNK is also present in chewing tobacco, helping make a stronger case against its use. NNK is present in 20-310 nanograms in cigarettes, but is also can be present in concentrations as high as 26 nanograms in smoke filmed rooms. This report adds more evidence that second hand smoke may damage non-smokers' health.
Concludes Professor Ghosh, "This research sheds light on the processes that lead to nerve cell damage in those who smoke cigarettes or consume tobacco products on regular basis."

End to a Successful Year

As the 2013-2014 academic year comes to a close, I thought it would be a good time to reflect on some of the high points for our students and programs.
- Food Microbiology. Students investigated the safety of college students' kitchens using standard sampling methods and identified a variety of microbes. They held a Thanksgiving Week feast of foods made using microbes, and ended the semester by writing a pamphlet to provide college students with tips for having a safe kitchen.
- Microbiology. Students learned their lab techniques through two investigations conducted. The first was isolation and identification of bacteria from meats: hamburger, ground turkey, ground venizen, and the surfaces of chicken and dove breasts. It was fascinating! The second study was isolation and identification of bacteria from the toothbrushes of college students.
- Microbial Diversity. Students searched soil, plants, fresh and ocean waters for as many bacteria as they could isolate and identify. At the conclusion of the semester, each student submitted 10 new strains to our stock collection, representing a wide diversity of bacterial shapes, groupings, and metabolic capabilities. Their final project was a project to identify and design a plan to terraform a new planet using microbes.
- Research Fellowships. Three BIMS students received research fellowships to support their work: two Bloomer Fellowships and the first Beasley Fellowship awarded.
- Honors Students. The BIMS program generated five of the nine McMurry Honors Program graduates this spring. Another will graduate this summer. Their theses, each of which is the equivalent of a masters thesis in length, quality, and expectations, cover topics such as bacterial spore size variations due to genetic modification and growth medium, spore germination properties of genetically modified and wild type strains, investigation of the possible disruptors of spore germination assays, isolation of new hydrocarbonoclastic (oil-eating) bacteria from railroad rail beds, and investigation of drug delivery methods on cancer treatment efficacy.
- Assessment. In our departmental assessment, the BIMS students have once again stood out for their abilities and achievement. Scores on the ETS Major Fields Test in Biology demonstrated the quality of the courses they've taken to prepare our students for successful lives. Scores placed our students above the mean for the 488 universities participating in categories emphasized by the BIMS program, and near the mean for the others.
- Graduates. We have seen BIMS graduates continue to excel in their placement in biotech jobs and graduate programs, and health professions schools (medical, PA, podiatry). What is the likelihood a BIMS graduate will end up using their BIMS degree? Something like 80% of all BIMS graduates from program inception are working in the field or pursuing graduate or advanced health professions degrees.
So, we have every reason to consider this an exceptionally good year for the BIMS program. We are hard at work on improvements for the program and our campus culture for the fall semester. Stay tuned for details!

But today we're focusing on how specific stars have risen to the challenge of certain roles. You always hear about women like Renee Zellweger packing on weight to play Bridget Jones, but how about the men who drop to alarmingly low weights for their Oscar bait?
