Letter from Jeff Bewkes
At Time Warner, we are passionate about telling the world's most compelling stories to diverse audiences around the globe.
Time Warner has a long and proud tradition of innovation, dating back to the early days of motion pictures and encompassing, among many other milestones, the first talking feature film, the invention of premium television services, and the first 24-hour news channel. We continue to innovate across our company today, redefining what it is to be a leading media and entertainment company in the digital age. And the movies, television programs, and journalism we create are second to none.
Our basic beliefs in journalistic integrity, freedom of expression, diversity of viewpoints and responsible content are at the heart of what we do. By aligning our businesses with these beliefs, we're able to drive the growth of our businesses in a responsible and ethical manner, strengthen our reputation, and help create a better connected and well-informed world.
In 2006, Time Warner became the first major U.S.-based media and entertainment company to issue a comprehensive corporate social responsibility report. We are continuing our reporting on corporate responsibility at Time Warner in this website and, as you read it, I hope you will see how corporate responsibility is connected to what we do as a company.
I am proud of what our company has accomplished. Time Warner continues to excel operationally and financially and at the same time has been able to focus on supporting and improving the communities in which our employees work and live.
Jeff Bewkes
Corporate Responsibility Reporting at Time Warner
Below is information regarding our corporate responsibility reporting, the scope of our reporting, how we use the Global Reporting Initiative's guidelines, and how to contact us regarding corporate responsibility.
Reporting History
In 2006, Time Warner became the first major U.S.-based media and entertainment company to issue a comprehensive corporate social responsibility (CSR) report. We published a second report in 2008. We decided not to publish a report in 2010, given the significant changes to the company following the spin-offs of AOL Inc. and Time Warner Cable Inc. in 2009. This decision enabled us to align our citizenship activities as a content-focused company before publishing another corporate responsibility report.
Shift to Online Reporting
Providing easily accessible corporate responsibility information to our stakeholders is important to us. For this reason, in 2012, we transitioned our CSR reporting from a traditional PDF and printed report to a web-based format. Online reporting creates a more dynamic and relevant platform for discussing Time Warner citizenship efforts and benefits our stakeholders in the following ways:
- offers greater flexibility for finding and using specific types of corporate responsibility information;
- provides better integration with other online information about Time Warner; and
- enables us to make more frequent updates.
Online reporting is also consistent with the spirit of the web-based delivery of our report as it helps us reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and consumption of natural resources since we will no longer distribute a printed report.
Materiality and Scope
On the corporate responsibility section of our website, we discuss topics that are material to our businesses. For the purposes of the corporate responsibility section of our website, we define materiality according to the Global Reporting Initiative's G3 guidelines: "The information in a report should cover topics and indicators that reflect the organization's significant economic, environmental, and social impacts or that would substantively influence the assessments and decisions of stakeholders."
Accordingly, we emphasize the Telling the World's Stories section because our content is most material to our businesses. In addition, we focus on the key issue of diversity in several areas of the corporate responsibility section of our website because it has significant impacts on the company's marketplace, workplace and workforce.
In terms of scope, we included information about our three divisions—Turner, Home Box Office, Inc., and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.—as well as information about Time Warner Inc. in the corporate responsibility section of our website. Most of this information pertains to 2010 and 2011, but we have also included updates to initiatives that began before 2010. We have also included a range of sustainability topics that should help our stakeholders assess our performance in the area of corporate responsibility.
GRI Guidance
The Global Reporting Initiative's G3 guidelines helped us determine the content and organization for the corporate responsibility section of our website.
Ceres Guidance
Ceres, a non-profit advocate for sustainability leadership that brings together companies, investors, and public advocacy groups, and its stakeholders helped us identify the following topics, which we address throughout the corporate responsibility section of our website. In 2012, stakeholder recommendations included focusing on the following:
- Vision: Articulate a clear sustainability vision that demonstrates the ways corporate responsibility is embedded in the company's overall business strategy. See more in the letter from Time Warner's Chairman and CEO.
- Companywide Strategies: Provide more disclosure on companywide strategies regarding climate change, ethical sourcing and diversity. See more on Making our Business Greener, Ethical Sourcing and Supply Chain and Supporting Our Workforce.
- Goals, Targets and Performance Metrics: Enhance reporting with increased quantitative disclosure regarding goals and targets. See more on Corporate Responsibility at Time Warner and Making our Business Greener.
- Balanced Content: Provide additional disclosure about challenges, particularly with regard to complex issues such as employee engagement, diversity and environmental and supply chain management. See more on Supporting our Workforce, Making our Business Greener and Ethical Sourcing and Supply Chain.
- Accountability: Provide information on the oversight from the CEO and Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors on sustainability issues and accountability mechanisms for measuring progress on sustainability goals. Examples can be found throughout the corporate responsibility section of this website.
Separation of Time Inc.
On June 6, 2014, we completed the legal and structural separation of Time Inc. from Time Warner. Specific information regarding Time Inc. has been removed from the corporate responsibility section of this website. Aggregate Company data for periods prior to June 6, 2014 include information regarding Time Inc. through June 6, 2014.
Invitation to Comment
We welcome comments on our corporate responsibility activities, results and reporting. Please email comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Leading Responsibly
Time Warner has been reporting comprehensively on corporate social responsibility longer than any major media company based in the U.S. Partnering with an increasingly diverse community of stakeholders has informed and guided many our systems, policies and controls in place throughout the company.
Telling the World's Stories
Time Warner creates and distributes content that informs, entertains and inspires people of all ages around the world. It is in this endeavor that we have a significant impact on society and are guided by a core set of values: journalistic integrity, freedom of expression, diversity of viewpoints and responsible content.
Making Our Business Greener
Time Warner is committed to conducting business in an environmentally responsible manner and to reducing its environmental footprint. We focus our environmental stewardship efforts in four areas: energy and greenhouse gas reduction; green feature film and television production; waste reduction and recycling; and green building.
Supporting Our Workforce
At Time Warner our employees are our greatest asset and vital to the long-term success of our company. Time Warner is committed to creating an environment where our employees feel valued and welcome. We know that world-class content is created by world-class talent and we aim to support our employees so that they can live productive, balanced and healthy lives
Time Warner is committed to an inclusive work environment. In our workplaces, we forbid discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical or mental disability, marital status and other legally protected classifications. Consistent with that approach, as an employer, we believe that all our employees should enjoy equal rights, and thus we oppose legislation that promotes invidious discrimination.
Investing in Our Communities
Through our philanthropic initiatives and employee engagement programs, we are cultivating the future leaders of our company and the communities in which we do business. Time Warner's support of the arts and education and innovative employee programs have enabled to the company to make a real impact in the community unique to a global media company.

Logan • Gary Andersen was 10 years old in 1974, almost in middle school, a few years away from shaving and a long way from his future tenure at Utah State.
On Saturday afternoon at Romney Stadium, Andersen and his Aggies took Cache Valley back to the old days.
A 38-7 win over Texas State was expected, if not ho-hum in the way USU dominated. But it was exciting because the Aggies won their eighth game for the first time in 38 years. Utah State is 8-2 and 3-0 in the Western Athletic Conference. The Aggies are two missed kicks away from being unbeaten to this point and possibly ranked.
In other words, Utah State seems far away from its run as a college football punchline.
"Bottom line, this is another tremendous victory for the program," Andersen said. "It's another positive step in the right direction. We had a lot of close games last year that were pretty frustrating, so this is definitely very refreshing."
Last week, the Aggies turned their matchup with Texas-San Antonio into a rout by halftime.
On Saturday, Andersen's team did the same thing, establishing superiority early. By intermission, Utah State led 35-0. By the fourth quarter, the starters were out and the second team was receiving extensive snaps.
This season is a far cry from 2011, where seemingly every game turned into a grinder. This year, the Aggies have blown out all three conference opponents, with the closest game coming against San Jose State on the road.
"We played very well on both sides of the ball," running back Kerwynn Williams said. "Our defense once again went out and played hard through the entire game and showed why they are so highly ranked. I felt that we played consistent on offense through the first three quarters. But we need to step it up a little bit in the fourth."
Williams ran 19 times for 120 yards, eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark for the season. He and sophomore quarterback Chuckie Keeton once again carried the load. Keeton went 20 of 27, throwing four first-half touchdowns and two interceptions. He also ran for another and accounted for 316 yards through the air.
The receiving corps had a good day as well. Matt Austin caught four passes for 124 yards and a touchdown. Kellen Bartlett and Travis Reynolds caught touchdown passes and Cam Webb made another four catches for 56 yards.
Offensively, the Aggies did whatever they wanted in the first half. They scored their five touchdowns in six possessions, expertly mixing in the pass with the run.
The defense may have come through with a shutout, but Keeton's first interception set the Bobcats up on USU's 15-yard line, and Texas State was able to score from there.
"I thought we came out and had a good game plan," Andersen said. "I thought we did a nice job of executing our scheme. I thought we were efficient, and I thought we took advantage of our opportunities and that's a credit to the kids and to the offensive coaching staff."
R Utah State improves to 8-2 and 3-0 in the WAC.
• USU scores 35 straight points in the first half.

Union president Harold Daggett takes to Facebook in advance of February meetings.
ILA Labor Negotiations
The International Longshoremen's Association and its employers at U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports are discussing an early, long-term extension of their coastwide contract that expires Sept. 30, 2018. The goal: an agreement that spares cargo interests an experience such as the one they endured during the epic 2012-13 bargaining between the ILA and United States Maritime Alliance. Those negotiations yielded a six-year contract, but only after nearly a year of rocky negotiations and repeated strike threats.

A top International Longshoremen's Association official said escalating health care costs have complicated efforts to reach a new or extended East and Gulf coast dockworker contract before the current one expires in September 2018.

Typically, once a U.S. longshore negotiation is settled, the affected ports revert to a state of normalcy despite whatever disruption occurred during the talks. U.S. West Coast negotiations over the past 20 years have never been without disruption but were always followed by near-normal operations that lasted in some cases for years. The six years leading up to the June 30, 2014, expiration of the recent agreement between waterfront employers and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union saw only sporadic disruption. But there is a difference between then and now: The current agreement reached on Feb. 20 failed to resolve all issues and one in particular — chassis maintenance — stands out as holding the potential for sparking further disruption and uncertainty for shippers.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Oct 27, 2009.
How many games will the Pistons win in the 2009-10 season?
I'll say 31-51 sounds about right. 31 wins...
For reference, last year's team won 39 games.
Good luck seeing that number this season...
Nemo, I find your lack of faith disturbing...
I am a big fan who struggles with trying to stay positive when ships are sinking all around us. I'm sorry that I'm not able to maintain positive faith.
That was Darth Vader's line from Star Wars. Nothing wrong with being a little pessimistic.
I'll stick with my original prediction although I may be a couple of wins too high. If they can win 42 games I'll be very pleased.
I picked 46-49. I think we will be better than a lot of people think. We also might pull off some crazy trade, Rip, Tay, and Maxiell for McGrady and Jermaine Taylor then ship McGrady for Bosh, or make a run at him next year with the cap space. I still think the current team is far more versatile and IMO already better than last years team, younger and more willing to do what it takes to win. Preseason is preseason, but I think people are reading too much into the rotations we had out there. He was messing around for the hell of it, and why not, how many crazy plays are done in NFL preseason. We will see, the season is upon us.
I think 40 something is about right. Excited for the season to start. I watched the Boston game tonight just to see what my man Sheed was doing. He played well, good defence, 3 or 4 three's. set good picks. Still yells out "Straight Up", still sits on the far end of the bench, committed I think 4 fouls, still vocal. Has let his hair grow out really long, sort of a mini fro, I didn't like it. Too poofy. Kinda weird watching two teams I absolutely hate. I know most of you were happy to see him leave, I was hoping he would stay and come off our bench. Anyway, the real season for me starts tomorrow.......
Yes they are younger and hungrier. Plus there are a lot of trade options now that we did not have before. I think once they cut down on the turnovers they will be fine.
My favorite number is 42 and as the team now stands, a little on the down-side of 42.
A copuple months ago I guessed 35 and people thought I was crazy. Lee's great 20 win prediction seems very possible. I still think 35 is about where it's at. on case you forgot: Pistons frontcourt: Charlie Villanueva Kwame Brown Jason Maxiell Ben Wallace Chris Wilcox Unproven point guards Rookie coach Maybe I shoulda guessed 29. This team is really bad on paper. Of course, who knows? Dumars could trade hamilton for dwight howard and stuckey turns into Dwayne Paul. Errr Chris Wade. Could happen.
I know these predictions are supposed to be made before the season starts, but last year most of us picked the wins based on CB being the coach and QB on the floor and he was sacked 4 games into the season which basically invalidated most of our picks. The poll closes 11/10 or so?? I think I will wait 5 games to see if Joe makes a quick move/trade like he did last season before I officially select and validate what I think will be 35 W's .....
During losing streak somebody posts a thread: I miss Michael Curry!
37-45. I don't know why. I'm just feeling it.
38 seems optimistic enough.
OK, I picked 29...and not just to balance the bell curve for the 58 win prediction. I'll be wrong, of course, because this team, as it is currently constituted, is set up to make trades. I don't remember who wrote the article that was pushing for Gordon and Charlie to come off the bench. But that was a shot of reality for me. We went from having cap space for a top 5 player to using it on a couple of guys that would make a super duper bench. I know the article was probably BS, but the fact remains that camp and preseason only reinforced the impressions I had of every player on the team. Without some good trader Joe stuff, I see a few early wins but a lot of losing streaks as reality sets in.
I'm going with 41. ...500 ball this year. 8th seed. 1st round loss to the Celts. One of our rooks will show some REALLY good progress. One of our rooks will show signs of being a bust. Kwame will have small hands. There will be a trade. People will like Q. Joe will take a lot of heat. This forum will be fun.
I believe Lee predicted 62 wins last year.
Separate names with a comma.

Sony has announced two new 3D enabled Bravia TVs that will sit at the top of its range - the NX713 and NX813. The NX713 is available in 40in and 46in sizes, while the NX813 is a 55in model only.
Both feature Sony's striking monolith design with extra slim bezels and concealed touch sensitive controls. The sets also have a new stand that can be angled back by six degrees to provide the perfect viewing angle, and also integrate 2.1 sound.
Both also offer Sony's Internet Video, which offers access to YouTube and LoveFilm. We were disappointed not to see the LoveFilm service added to the PS3 following the announcements yesterday of other streaming services for the console, so perhaps this is a deliberate ploy from Sony to persuade you to plump for its TV as well as its console.
Also on offer in Internet video are news feed updates from Twitter and Facebook, access to photo-sharing site Flickr and, we are told, the FIFA World Cup Collection, which as well as highlights of 18 tournaments, features the England team standing on a pitch looking at the white round thing called a ball as if they're never seen one before, set to the continuous soundtrack of high-pitched Vuvuzelas. Probably.
The two TV's both offer edge LED backlighting, and 3D capability can be added when you want via an optional 3D Sync Transmitter that need to be purchased separately.
The NX713 offers Motionflow 100Hz Pro, while on the NX813 this is upgraded to Motionflow 200Hz Pro, designed to sort out the motion nasties that would otherwise afflict LCD based TVs.
The Bravia NX713 and NX-813 will be available from September, and Sony said it would provide pricing in a few days time. Such a teaser.

Nerlens Noel Adds USBWA All-District Accolades
March 12, 2013
ST. LOUIS - Kentucky freshman Nerlens Noel has hauled in a number of postseason accolades to date, and has now added U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) All-District IV team honors on Tuesday as announced by the association.
Dating back to 2004, at least one UK player has been named to the All-District IV team. Noel is the 15th player to achieve the honor since that season, and the eighth player in the John Calipari era.
The teams are based on voting from the USBWA national membership of 900-plus members. District IV is comprised of institutions within the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
The freshman from Everett, Mass., led the nation in blocking as he averaged 4.4 rejections per game and tallied 106 in 24 games played. Prior to his season-ending knee injury he was the only player standing taller than 6-5 to rank in the top 30 for steals per outing as he had accumulated 50 steals on the year.
He averaged 10.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. His rebounds and blocked shots led the Southeastern Conference, while he also ranked among the top-10 players in steals per game, defensive rebounds per game, offensive rebounds per game and minutes played per game.
Noel finished the season ranking second in UK single-season history with 106 blocks. His 50 steals ranked as the fifth most in a single-season by a freshman. His .590 field goal percentage is the ninth best mark in school history, while his steals per game (2.1) is the seventh best mark in school allure.
Prior UK District IV team award winners include: Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Terrence Jones, Brandon Knight, DeMarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson, John Wall, Jodie Meeks, Ramel Bradley, Randolph Morris, Rajon Rondo, Chuck Hayes, Erik Daniels and Gerald Fitch.
Kentucky will return to action in the SEC Tournament on Friday, March 15 at 7:30 p.m. ET. UK will face the winner of the Arkansas/Vanderbilt game.

Megan Tomes narrowly missed another provisional qualifying time.
Nov. 22, 2003
HOUSTON, Texas
University of Tennessee Women's Head Swimming Coach Dan Colella and Diving Coach Dave Parrington's swimming and diving squad closed out the Houston Invitational in superb fashion as the Lady Vols won the invite with a final-day kick en route to an additional five event crowns at the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center Natatorium in Houston, Texas.
UT opened the championship heats on the final day by taking the 1650y freestyle title as freshman Misty Cain (Marietta, Ga.) clocked the endurance race in 17:22.87. Junior Elizabeth Wueste (Norcross, Ga.) took fifth in the event with an 18:29.19. Tennessee next took the top four spots in the 200y backstroke as sophomore Jacque Fessel (Cincinnati, Ohio) won with a 2:02.49, while freshman Ashley Yeager (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) took second with a 2:04.10. Freshman Megan Tomes (Cincinnati, Ohio) finished in third place with a 2:05.00, while freshman Elizabeth Christy (Indianapolis, Ind.) clocked a 2:09.15 for fourth place.
In the 100y freestyle championship heat, Tomes narrowly missed another provisional qualifying time as she captured the event title in 51.69, while sophomore Abbi Terveer (Lima, Ohio) claimed second with a 51.94. Senior Taryn Ternent (Edenvale, South Africa) swam to a third-place finish in 52.77, while Christy clocked a fifth-place 53.24. Junior Jessica Blevins (Bluefield, W.Va.) and freshman Meghan Keefer (Fort Wayne, Ind.) rounded out the UT effort in the event with 54.07 and 54.30 times to finish in seventh and eighth place, respectively. Sophomore Tatiana Athayde (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) took fourth place in the consolation final with a 54.51. Freshman Tiffany Clay (Mason, Ohio) seized the 200y breaststroke title with a 2:19.88, while sophomore Danielle Lundy (Austell, Ga.) and classmate Betsy Brockman (Batavia, Ohio) took second and third place, respectively, with a 2:21.32 and a 2:22.16.
Houston's Szintia Szanto broke the Big Orange's strangehold on the event trophies as the freshman nearly posted a provisional by winning the 200y butterfly in 2:01.83. Brockman took runner-up status in the event with a 2:08.30, while freshman Julia Lutz (Lilburn, Ga.) took fourth with a 2:10.55. Cain swam the event in 2:13.01 to take sixth place, while Wueste finished in eighth with a 2:14.44.
Tennessee concluded the three-day competition by posting its 19th triumph of the invitational in the 400y freestyle relay as Terveer, Ternent, Christy and Tomes won the event with a 3:29.72 clocking. Blevins, Fessel, Athayde and Keefer closed out the Lady Vols' performance at the meet with a third-place 3:34.48.
Next up for the Lady Vols, the swim squad competes in the U.S. Open Swimming Championships over Dec. 4-6, in Federal Way, Wash., before closing out the calendar year in Key West on Dec. 17 with the Key West Relay Extravaganza. The divers next hit the water in a competitive fashion over Jan. 3-5, 2004, when they head to Athens, Ga., for the Georgia Diving Invitational.

In art and architecture, a meander is a decorative border constructed from a continuous line, shaped into a repeated motif. Such a design is also called the Greek Fret or Greek Key design, although these are modern words. The name "meander" recalls the twisting and turning path of the Maeander River. Meanders were among the most important symbols in ancient Greece; they, perhaps, symbolized infinity and unity; many ancient Greek temples incorporated the sign of the meander.

Behind the Pentagon's closed doors, militay leaders met with President Bush in an effort to get him to grasp the human implications and consequences of his war in Iraq.
Wednesday's 90 minute session held in a secure coference room kown as "the Tank" was arranged by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Military leaders discussed how the war impacted the private lives of soldiers and the total effect on an armed force which is stretched thin to the point of exhaustion. Pentagon press secretary Geogg Morrell, said the discussion roamed over topics like the escalation of fighting in Afghanistan and what may lie ahead. "Armed with all that," said Morrell, "the president must now decide the way ahead in Iraq."
George Bush rushed into a war that need not have been fought. He quickly proclaimed, "Mission Accomplished" in order to get some nice photos for the daily newspapers. He never meets the bodies of those who died, he rarely discusses losses, but he does not hestitate one minute to cut taxes when a war is raging. He holds the record of being the first president in American history who is more concerned about taxes than about those who are fighting. He refuses to come before the American people and explain if the war goes on, there must be some form of draft. We can not continue placing the burden on the shoulders of 1,500,000 Americans while the remaining 300,000,000 continue their normal lives. How many conservatives who support the war are willing to see their children drafted?

Aden + Anais Muslin Swaddle Blankets
Aden + Anais
Pack of four 100% cotton muslin swaddling wraps. aden + anais wraps are the ultimate in breathability and softness. The fabric is a light, open weave which allows baby's body temperature to regulate itself naturally, helping to reduce the risk of overheating. It is gentle on baby's skin and durable for everyday use. The more you wash aden + anais wraps, the softer they get. aden + anais wraps are extra large, measuring 47" x 47", so that new and seasoned moms alike can swaddle babies of all sizes with ease. Traditionally used for swaddling, our wraps can also be used as burp cloths, nursing and stroller covers, portable crib sheets, stroller and car seat liners, tummy time blankets, change table covers, and more.
The practice of swaddling goes back nearly as far as human history, itself. The oldest archaeological evidence of mothers swaddling their babies begins in 4000 B.C. with the migrating peoples of ancient central Asia. The ancient Greeks and Romans swaddled. There are even biblical references to the practice.
Swaddling's ability to soothe and calm babies has been known to mothers around the world for countless generations. But while the evidence of its benefits has been clear to women for thousands of years and across every continent, today we can turn to science for proof that swaddling is one of the most gentle, effective, and beneficial practices for mothers and their children.
In 2002, the medical journal Pediatrics published a study that explained why babies who are swaddled sleep more peacefully by preventing spontaneous movements (called reflex motion) from waking them up continually during the night. The same year, the Journal of Applied Physiology wrote that swaddled infants stay in REM sleep (the most restorative, deepest sleep) longer than those who were not. There is growing evidence every year that swaddling may indirectly help prevent SIDS, as well.
Swaddling is said to be as familiar to babies as it is to thier moms because it recreates the secure and cozy feeling of the womb -- and using swaddles made of natural cotton muslin only enhances that blissful feeling. Muslin is a finely-woven breathable fabric believed to have originated in Bangladesh during the Middle Ages. It's delicate, yet durable weave, makes the fabric stretchy, and therefore ideal for swaddling, as the natural give" allows the blanket to be tucked snuggly around a baby without being overly restrictive.
The lightweight muslin also permits air to circulate around the baby's body, while still providing comfort and warmth without the worry that the baby may overheat in moderate weather. Cotton muslin is also a workhorse fabric, in that wraps woven from this natural fiber stands up to repeated washings only becoming softer -- and better -- with age.
Of course, all the scientific evidence in the world is no substitute for the experience of millions of Mothers through uncountable generations: that swaddling in muslin is one of the most loving, gentle, restorative acts a mother can perform for her child.

Holly Madison Parties with Her Baby Bump
Enjoying an evening out, Holly Madison attended the 14th anniversary party for Las Vegas Weekly on Friday (December 14).
The mom-to-be flaunted her baby bump in a purple dress with an open back, as she enjoyed some cotton candy at the Hyde Bellagio.
The 32-year-old former Playmate and her partner, Pasquale Rotella, are expecting their first child in March.
Always figure conscious, Madison has been trying to stay in shape through her pregnancy. "I have been trying to eat healthy for the baby, a lot of green smoothies and fruits and vegetables. And I have pregnancy-yoga and Pilates DVDs that I do as much as I can," she said.

The latter part of this past week has been witness to some great discoveries as well as some of the greatest fighting we have seen in a while. I am saying this once and making it a sweeping statement to all; stop. TDH is about researching costumes, sharing information, and helping each other build costumes. If you are not here for one of those three reasons; leave. We don't need or want you here.
In addition, the administration runs this board to the best of our combined abilities. We try to be as fair and as unbiased as possible. We understand and accept that we can't please all of the people all of the time, but we make every effort to make your experience here at TDH as pleasant as possible. We have no ties with other boards or the ability or desire to determine how other boards are run. Discussions involving who is allowed on what board or why other boards make the decisions they make are not valid topics for discussion here. Bashing other boards or their administrative decisions are not valid topics for discussion here. Whether we feel others are right or wrong, their decisions are theirs alone to bear and rehashing them here is pointless and only serves to drag TDH into the muck. Keep such talk to PM or email.

Previous GeneCards Identifiers for TP53 Gene
Summaries for TP53 Gene
This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein containing transcriptional activation, DNA binding, and oligomerization domains. The encoded protein responds to diverse cellular stresses to regulate expression of target genes, thereby inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, senescence, DNA repair, or changes in metabolism. Mutations in this gene are associated with a variety of human cancers, including hereditary cancers such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Alternative splicing of this gene and the use of alternate promoters result in multiple transcript variants and isoforms. Additional isoforms have also been shown to result from the use of alternate translation initiation codons (PMIDs: 12032546, 20937277). [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]
GeneCards Summary for TP53 Gene
TP53 (Tumor Protein P53) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TP53 include Li-Fraumeni Syndrome and Choroid Plexus Papilloma. Among its related pathways are Glioma and HTLV-I infection. GO annotations related to this gene include transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding and protein heterodimerization activity. An important paralog of this gene is TP73.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for TP53 Gene
Acts as a tumor suppressor in many tumor types; induces growth arrest or apoptosis depending on the physiological circumstances and cell type. Involved in cell cycle regulation as a trans-activator that acts to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process. One of the activated genes is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. Apoptosis induction seems to be mediated either by stimulation of BAX and FAS antigen expression, or by repression of Bcl-2 expression. In cooperation with mitochondrial PPIF is involved in activating oxidative stress-induced necrosis; the function is largely independent of transcription. Induces the transcription of long intergenic non-coding RNA p21 (lincRNA-p21) and lincRNA-Mkln1. LincRNA-p21 participates in TP53-dependent transcriptional repression leading to apoptosis and seem to have to effect on cell-cycle regulation. Implicated in Notch signaling cross-over. Prevents CDK7 kinase activity when associated to CAK complex in response to DNA damage, thus stopping cell cycle progression. Isoform 2 enhances the transactivation activity of isoform 1 from some but not all TP53-inducible promoters. Isoform 4 suppresses transactivation activity and impairs growth suppression mediated by isoform 1. Isoform 7 inhibits isoform 1-mediated apoptosis. Regulates the circadian clock by repressing CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1-mediated transcriptional activation of PER2 (PubMed:24051492).
p53 (TP53) is a transcription factor whose protein levels and post-translational modification state alter in response to cellular stress (e.g. hypoxia, DNA and spindle damage). Activation of p53 occurs by several mechanisms including phosphorylation by ATM, ATR, Chk1 and MAPKs.

Includes shipping & tax!
Introducing the redesigned Rancilio Silvia. Get the same professional experience as the previous model, but with even more commercial-quality parts. Brew better shots with the new portafilter. Froth milk easier with the articulating steam wand with 3-hole tip. The contoured steam knob adds even more character to an already stylish machine.
The Rancilio Silvia is a machine with a reputation, and it's all good. One of the most discussed specialty espresso machines on the market, the Silvia has legions of fans, and with good cause: it is one of the best "single boiler" machines on the market, bar none. From the professional portafilter to the large brass boiler, from the no nonsense controls up front to the ample steaming power, the Silvia is a machine that will deliver first rate espresso to the true enthusiast for years and years. Aabree Coffee Company highly recommends matching up the Silvia to a quality grinder, like the Rancilio Rocky in order to get the most out of the machine's capabilities. The Silvia is not a beginner's machine - it is a tool for serious espresso people, like us. Note: The Silvia is now pod-adaptable. A pod adapter kit can be added, and once installed, you can brew using Easy Serve Espresso (ESE) pods!
Feature Details - The Silvia uses a 48-watt Ulka Electromagnetic vibratory pump that provides the exact pressures needed to deliver perfect espresso. The lines from the pump, to the boiler, and from the boiler to the grouphead are all commercial grade items, with a big, beefy piece of cast brass helping to complete the trip. Other machines may feel the need to advertise their BAR rating; the Silvia does not have to - it is a given the machine has the power to spare.

Hey guys,
I have a stoeger m2000, and the bolt handle broke in half today hunting. I ordered another one but it wont be in until tuesday. I am going hunting monday morning, and was wondering if anyone sees a problem with using a short piece of rod to put in the hole for the bolt handle. I would take it out and put it in my pocket after I chambered the round. I would just need to load one round in the chamber, and only fire two shells everytime. This would keep me from have to actually charge the bolt throughout the day.
Would this be a problem?
Would there be an issue with the shotgun firing without anything in the hole for the bolt handle?
Does anyone know what size rod I would fit in there?

Slam/pro helmet psa
Been MIA for a while here guys, but I am back in the city (and school ).
Had some good friends get married on the slopes of Kimberley on New Years eve...really good time, they did a run in their wedding attire of course, it was awesome. A good pal of mine, literally crashed their wedding, he came out to ride with us for a few days prior to the wedding, and due to a pretty serious crash, stayed for the whole thing so i could drive him back.
Night-riding at kimberley is pretty awesome, fresh groomers, good lighting and often mild temps. We were near first up the night chair and were gonna carve down the fresh groomer path before it got tracked, so we strapped in and headed down. like we had done many a time before, we were hauling ass, popping off all the rollers and having a merry time. Both of us and my skier brother are pretty experienced with my bud having 5 years of snow X and 18 years of boarding under his belt. he went off a roller and landed a tad squirrely, ended up catching an edge and wham-o.
I was right behind him and saw the poof of snow and started chuckling as he had spilled (a rare thing). As I came up, I realized he was KTFO, postured arms and full clench. I sent my bro down for ski patrol (who were turned out to be a bunch of clowns in the end...perhaps I am critical as it was my buddy and i are both seasoned EMTs here in AB), and blah blah blah he ended up in the hospital getting the full head injury protocol. Ended up with a pretty serious concussion, two black eyes and some lacerations, BUT nothing i would consider too serious. I ended up driving his concussed ass back home after as he was still a tad foggy 36hrs after.
Anyhow, helmet was f*cked, and without doubt I can say this would have been pretty bad if he didn't have one on. It was my last years helmet and I had been badgering him to wear one for years of snowboarding, and this was the 2nd day he actually wore it.

Presentation from Andy Exley – Program Editor
We're mid-way through the season now and I wanted to discuss the development and new layout we've applied to the program this year. At the end of last season we surveyed over 3,000 fans to get their views and opinions about the program and the key findings were that the vast majority of fans were happy with the program and that most of the fans who did buy it were aged late 30's upwards. A few fans mentioned that they weren't regularly buying it due to a lack of disposable income on match days, as well as stating (especially the younger fans) that they were using other media outlets as a source of information e.g. Arsenal.com, blog sites etc. This is a wider cultural phenomenon and other printed media organisations are encountering the same problems. We're conscious that 10 years ago the match-day program was the most significant source of information for fans about Arsenal – this simply isn't the case any more. Saying that, there is always original content in the program – sometimes the press pick up and run with stories contained within it.
A few questions and issues arose from this research and we decided that we would give the program a fresher feel – following on from the earlier discussion about how fans identify with Arsenal, we were aware that we weren't going to fundamentally change it. We wanted to keep the core strengths of the program, e.g. the in-depth interviews, club information and so on, but we were conscious that we had to change the design to attract new fans to the program.
The content of the program is great and there's a lot to read on the journey home. There's also great use of photography to support the content. Compared to other programs you buy when we're playing away from home, ours does stand head and shoulders above the rest.
We went to first principles and asked ourselves what is the purpose of the program? We're aware that a proportion of fans buy the program mainly as a collectors' item – our aim is to ensure that for those who read it in detail, there are good quality and well informed pieces and we're fortunate for the amount of access that we have to the playing staff in relation to this. We're looking at incorporating collectible items as part of the program, e.g. bigger and more glossy posters, stickers etc and the response to the poster of the historical line of players contained in the Spurs program was fantastic. We're also looking at new distribution outlets (e.g. train stations) for fans to buy their program on the way into the game.
A lot of fans buy their program on the way home for something to read – but it is harder to find vendors after the game
We've spoken to the vendors and most of them say they don't sell that many post match and it's not really worth their while. On a normal match day, we sell about 20,000 – as a percentage of potential purchasers this is less than at highbury and our research told us that a lot of new fans that have season tickets for the Emirates have never previously bought a program – this is the on of the main audiences we're trying to capture.
There is information and articles in the program that isn't on the website and it does have added value – have you looked at potentially distributing the program in different ways e.g. free with a super-size meal at the kiosks or for one game giving it free to every fan and introducing it to 40,000 fans who wouldn't normally buy it. Other ideas would be to put an edited highlights sample in the annual membership packs or having vouchers to be used at the ground?
These are definitely things we can look at, as well as selling the program in a plastic bag to make it easier to carry. On the vouchers side, we have found that those who purchase it prefer not to deface it. We look to get the program done "just in time" so that we can get player reactions to the Champions League draw, for example. There are other things we're looking at and we're liaising with the program sellers (who have been involved in this for a very long time) to see what can work best. Some clubs have offered the program content on-line or via pdf attachments to those who have subscribed (for a fee less than the cost of the physical program). We also have an Arsenal magazine and we ensure that there is co-ordination and exclusivity in terms of the content across all Arsenal Media outlets. E.g. there will be a 3,000 word piece on Andre Arshavin in the next magazine, content less applicable to the program and website.
What's the story about the program of the cancelled game against Bolton on Wednesday 6th January?
The bulk of the program for today's game against Everton is the same as what was used in the Bolton game – we will be offering fans the opportunity to buy the program for the game against Bolton.
Other Topics
Promotion of fan forum members contact details
Contact details for fans to contact forum members were included for the 2nd time in the program for the game against Aston Villa on 27th December. Unfortunately, due to IT security & phishing issues, we can't publish email addresses on the Arsenal.com website. We will put the details in the program more regularly in the future.
There has been a slight increase in the amount of contact from members – there is a bit of confusion in that there are "fans forum" polls on the website and we're referred to as the supporters forum – it will be better to refer to us as the fans' forum.
We'll look at that – more generally, this forum is not an alternative for fans to submit specific questions about ticketing or individual complaints – this is a discussion forum to discuss topics such as we've covered here today – it's role is to talk about the club on a more general level. Forum members have a responsibility when they put themselves forward to liaise with fans on an informal level and bring wide-ranging topics to the meeting – Andy today has some great ideas to take away from the meeting in relation to promoting the program – that is where this forum excels. We have a call centre that can deal with specific enquiries or complaints. The forum is a way for fans to express opinions or comments about things that might affect the club in general e.g. the price of away tickets for the Spurs game last year – we can explain to the forum our decision making processes and also listen and absorb what the forum has to say on topics such as this.
The club need to be clearer to fans about the remit and role of the forum when they advertise it in the program.
We'll ensure that there is a fuller description the next time it is included in the program.
Re-naming of the quadrants
This is progressing well – we've got Board approval to move this forward and we're currently looking at different designs – we want to make it as elegant as possible, which does pose some challenges but we will get it done correctly.
Can the club explain why the ticket exchange scheme doesn't work for Champion's League
This is mainly down to UEFA leaving it quite late to inform us (usually the Thursday before a scheduled game) about their media and other ticketing requirements – we then have to get in touch with season ticket holders about seat re-allocation and after this we don't have enough time for the ticket exchange scheme to work correctly.
What's the latest on banners at games?
There has been a request for us to help in the production of banners for fans to bring to games and we will look to help with some potential designs as well as stating what the dimensions should be so that they don't interfere with the views of other fans in the stadium. Ultimately, we would love fans to bring banners to the stadium and further improve the atmosphere at games
Is there a plan to resurrect Arsenal TV on-line?
There are no immediate plans to resurrect this right now, but we are having discussions with ESPN about then funnelling Arsenal TV programmes. We accept that maybe some of the content that has been on Arsenal TV on-line was probably not of the quality that our fans rightly expect and this is something that Michael Leavy will be looking at for the future. More broadly, we're aware that a lot of focus over the last few years has been on delivering the success of the Emirates stadium – now our focus has changed onto delivering wider commercial success to the club going forward and the Board and staff members are doing a lot of work behind the scenes to bring this about.
Why was the game against Bolton cancelled so close to kick-off?
We were in constant contact with the Met office on the day before the scheduled game against Bolton, as well as the morning of the game – we were aware that there was a band of snow expected on the day of the game but that in all likelihood it would miss our area. Unfortunately, we did then have the snow coming the early afternoon before the game and we were left with no other option than to postpone the game– the issue with postponing any game is that we're aware we're inconveniencing many thousands of both home and away fans and it's not something we would ever do lightly, but in this particular instance we felt it was the right thing to do. We offered Bolton some money to use as they saw fit for their fan groups as a way of an apology – ultimately, they've decided to cover the travel costs of their fans that were making their way via official channels to the stadium.
The meeting finished at 12.55pm.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Hacker Who Leaked Nude Scarlett Johansson Photos Gets 10 Years in Prison

Chris Chaney pleads guilty to hacking over 50 celebrities' smartphones for fun and profit
Between November 2010 and October 2011, there were a rash of hacking of high-profile celebrities smartphones. Starlets like Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Mila Kunis had sexually explicit or provocative pictures
stolen from their devices
and released onto the internet.
In Scarlett Johansson's case fully nude pictures, meant to be seen by then-husband Ryan Reynolds were exposed for the world to see. She recalls, "I have been truly humiliated and embarrassed."
But intrusions weren't the work of a team of savvy hackers; they were the twisted hobby-horse of a single man, according to federal prosecutors -- Christopher Chaney, a 35-year-old Jacksonville, Fla. resident.
On Monday, justice
was served
U.S. District Judge S. James Otero
weighed a seemingly remorseful Mr. Chaney versus tearful celebrities like Ms. Johansson, who comments, "I find Christopher Chaney's actions to be perverted and reprehensible."
The federal judge gave the hacker a prison sentence of 10 years after pleading guilty of several criminal counts
under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
of 1986 (
) -- unauthorized access to a computer and illegal wiretapping. (In the U.S. only federal agents are allowed to wiretap people.)
Mr. Chaney could have faced a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison, but the sentence he did receive wasn't exactly lenient either. Prosecutors were only seeking a sentence of 6 years, but Judge Otero was concerned that Mr. Chaney hadn't truly changed his ways and needed longer away from the world of electronics. According to the Judge, prosecutors presented evidence that Mr. Chaney continued to pursue and harass women online after his arrest in October 2011.
In all, Mr. Chaney's "Operation Hackerazzi" breached the smartphones of 50 Hollywood and music industry celebrities. But he was also alleged of hacking into some close acquaintances phones, including send a nude picture of a former co-worker to her father.
Chris Chaney claims he sorry for all the hacking and denies accusations that he hacked into real-world acquaintances' devices. [Image Source: AP]
Mr. Chaney does not deny hacking the celebrity phones, but was apologetic. He, however, refused to admit to hacking his acquaintances phones, insisting he never did that. He comments, "I don't know what else to say other than I'm sorry. I could be sentenced to never use a computer again and I wouldn't care."
The Judge is quoted as telling him, "It's hard to fathom the mindset of a person who would accomplish all of this. These types of crimes are as pernicious and serious as physical stalking."
Now he will spend a better part of the next decade of his life behind bars (although he could get out early if gets parole).

In 2001, Karelia Software released an Internet search utility called Watson. It was a great utility — but it didn't last long. In 2002, Apple released Sherlock 3, a search utility built directly into Mac OS that mirrored many of Watson's functions.
With but a single OS update, Apple destroyed Watson's market.
Apple called the update the natural evolution of Sherlock, but it didn't stop fans of Watson from crying foul. And from that day forward, whenever Apple has released a feature or application that makes a third-party app obsolete, the newly deceased app has been considered "Sherlocked."
At Monday's WWDC keynote, Craig Federighi, Apple's vice president of Mac Software, demoed Mountain Lion, wowing developers with impressive new OS X features, but also surely terrifying a few with the prospect of imminent Sherlocking. A handful of popular OS X apps suddenly became much less relevant as Apple introduced Mountain Lion features that mirror existing third-party functionality.
Who's most vulnerable? Read 'em and weep.
Growl, a global notification system, has enjoyed OS X support since 2003, and has become an app that savvy Mac users immediately download whenever setting up a new computer, or reinstalling a system. Growl's notifications are standard on most Macs in the wild, but now Apple is rolling out a platform for its own onscreen alerts.
Like Growl, the new Notification Center in Mountain Lion pushes application alerts to the top right-hand corner of a Mac. Currently, Notification Center only supports Apple apps, as well as Twitter and Facebook. Growl, on the other hand, has a wealth of support for third-party apps like Adium, Rdio, Twitter, Dropbox and many more.
With a large stable of applications that already use the service, as well as more control over how notifications are delivered, Growl could very well survive the impending notifications war. But Growl needs to act fast in adding even more value. And it needs to hope that Apple doesn't open up its Notification Center to more third-party apps.
Dragon Dictate
Dragon Dictate wants you to forget your keyboard, and talk directly to your computer instead. Originally developed for Windows, the software takes spoken word, and converts it to written text. It's not perfect, but performs on par with the dictation features built into Siri.
Well, now there's a problem for Dragon Dictate's developer, Nuance: The new Dictate feature built into Mountain Lion delivers Siri's voice dictation to the desktop. Granted, Dragon Dictate does offer a few novel commands not found in Mountain Lion. For example, you can use it to launch applications, and search Google. But at $200 a copy, it's going to be a tough road for the Dragon.
To-Do List Apps — You Name It, It's Vulnerable
Reminders is a supercharged to-do list that syncs with all your Apple devices. Need milk? Reminders won't simply "remind" you to buy it — it will push an alert to you when you enter your neighborhood market. Never forget milk, cheese, eggs or batteries again.
Reminders is a great app, but it will definitely put the hurt on any to-do list app supported by OS X. Reminders was once iOS-only, but now it's coming to Mountain Lion. Reminders syncs between iOS and OS X, giving Apple an advantage over similar to-do list apps that charge for syncing functionality.
But all is not lost for some third-party to-do list developers. For apps like Omni Group's OmniFocus that use the "getting things done" method to build to-do lists, the Reminders threat is relatively minimum. That is, until people realize it's easier to, well, simply "get things done" than to subscribe to an elaborate, regimented system focused on the completion of to-do list items.
So you like a unified search/URL field. Chrome has that. Actually, Chrome has had that for a while and it's alwasy been spectacular. But perhaps it's been too spectacular, catching the attention of Apple. The Safari browser in Mountain Lion will include a unified search/URL field, giving Mac users one less reason to download Chrome.
Throw this on top of losing the default map app in iOS, and Google has had a tough week, all thanks to Apple.
And a unified search/URL field isn't the only Chrome-killing feature Apple placed in its browser. Both browsers already offer keyboard shortcuts to quickly toggle through open tabs, but Apple expanded on navigation with a gesture-based tab-switching feature that's sure to woo Mac users.
Apple also added cross-platform tab syncing. So, if you have three open tabs on your Mac, when you jump on to your iOS device, the same tabs will be open ther for continued browsing.
Oh, and there's one final dig at Google: No Google+ integration in Mountain Lion. Ouch.
Randall Stephenson, AT&T's chief executive is already losing sleep over iMessage. But now that iMessage will be the default messaging app in Mountain Lion, the executive might want to invest in some serious sleeping aids. Currently, iOS users with an iCloud account can turn on iMessages to send text messages to other iCloud users with iOS devices, all without dipping into the SMS allotment they've set up with their carrier.
In other words, free text messages.
Now iMessage is coming to Mountain Lion, and starting in July, text messages can be sent from iOS devices to Macs and vice versa. The iMessage beta has been available since February for Lion users, and, while buggy, it opened up a new world of communication for iCloud users. Mountain Lion combined with a free iCloud account and a few iOS devices could really cut into the cash cow of SMS messaging.
You can call these apps evolutionary. Or you can call them outright rip-offs. But the technology world has always "borrowed" from the past to make current products better. It's just that some types of borrowing is more obvious than others.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Green Bay to Play at Cleveland State Friday on ESPNU
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's basketball team (13-12, 7-5 HL) hits the final quarter of its Horizon League schedule in position to finish towards the top of the standings, beginning with a nationally-televised game at Cleveland State (12-14, 4-8 HL) on Friday night at 8 p.m. CT. The contest will be televised live by ESPNU.
Green Bay's two remaining league road games in Ohio this weekend are on courts which bring bad memories of a season ago. The Phoenix went a combined 0-3 at Cleveland State and Youngstown State in 2011-12 but swept the two schools from the Buckeye State back in mid-January at the Resch Center.
When the Phoenix hosted Cleveland State on Jan. 19, freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) posted a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds as Green Bay placed five players in double figure en route to a 77-50 victory. The 27-point win was the largest by the Phoenix in a Horizon League game since a 78-49 win over Youngstown State on Feb. 5, 2005.
Both Green Bay and Cleveland State most recently faced Detroit, with the Phoenix posting a 68-59 home win on Saturday while the Vikings fell 92-62 to the Titans on the road on Tuesday. However, CSU holds an 8-3 record at home at the Wolstein Center in 2012-13.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans will be able to catch Friday night's important Horizon League game live on ESPNU. Jim Barbar will handle the play-by-play duties with Malcolm Huckaby alongside as the color analyst. Green Bay is 4-0 this season with Barbar serving as the play-by-play announcer.
The game will also be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 107.5 FM and 1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call alongside Andrew Gavin. Live stats will be available on CSUVikings.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay leads the all-time series with Cleveland State 38-27 but the Vikings have won 13 of the 30 meetings in Cleveland. The Vikings have won the past five games at the Wolstein Center, including a 78-68 win on Jan. 20, 2012. Keifer Sykes led the Phoenix in that contest with 15 points, but Green Bay was outrebounded 43-23. In this season's Phoenix win, Green Bay held a dominant edge on the backboards (41-18).
2. REBOUNDING ROOKIE: Fouse has proven himself to be one of the best rebounders and defenders in the Horizon League. The 6-foot-7 forward is second in the conference in rebounds per game (7.6) and tied for third in blocks and steals per game (1.5). Fouse has now grabbed more rebounds (191) than any freshman in the program's Division I history. He is on pace to break the 44-year old freshman record, set by Dennis Woeffler (209) in the program's first season, 1969-70.
3. BLOCK PARTY: Green Bay had 14 blocks in two games last week, including 10 in Thursday's double overtime contest against Wright State. The 10 blocks were tied for the second most in program history. With Alec Brown (42), Jordan Fouse (37), Greg Mays (17) and Brennan Cougill (11) all in double figures, the Phoenix has now swatted 118 shots on the season. That total is the third-most all-time, behind only the last two seasons - 142 in 2011-12 and 119 in 2012-13.
• SANS SOPHOMORE SLUMP: After an impressive freshman campaign, Sykes has taken his game to even the next level as a sophomore. Despite a scoreless, injury-plagued game at Loyola, Sykes is fifth in the league in scoring (14.8) and tied for third in assists (4.2) and has reached double figures in 21 of 24 games. In the past two games since Loyola, Sykes has averaged 14.5 points per game after halftime. He scored or assisted on 10 of Green Bay's 13 second-half baskets against Detroit.
• HOLDIN' DOWN DETROIT: In Green Bay's 68-59 win over Detroit, only five Titan players scored and only two reached double figures as the Phoenix defense allowed just 59 points, a season low for a Titans squad which entered ranked in the top-10 nationally in scoring (79.1). Detroit scored only 26 points after halftime, with only 10 surrendered to players not named Ray McCallum.
• GLASS CLEANERS: Led by Fouse, who leads the Horizon League averaging 8.5 rebounds and 2.7 offensive boards per game in league play, Green Bay is the top rebounding team in Horizon League action with a rebounding margin of plus-6.0. With three players (Fouse, Brown, Cougill) in the top-eight in the conference overall in rebounding, the Phoenix is second for the season in rebounding margin (+4.4), right behind Valparaiso (+4.5).
• DEFEND THE HORIZON: The Phoenix has been among the league's best defensive teams in league play. Through 12 games, Green Bay leads in scoring defense (60.8), field goal percentage defense (.385), rebounding margin (+6.0) and blocked shots (5.8).
• STILL ON GUARD: In Green Bay's seven league wins, the Phoenix has not allowed more than 63 points and has a scoring defense of 54.0. The team's victory margin is 13.1 and it has made nearly twice as many free throws (119-62). Those seven opponents are shooting just 36.6 percent from the field and are being outrebounded by 9.3 boards per game. In its five HL losses, Green Bay is allowing 70.2 points per game and 41.0 percent shooting. The Phoenix rebounding margin dips to just plus-1.4 and its opponents have made 20 more free throws.
• FREE AND EASY: Green Bay leads the conference in free throws made (416) and is second in free-throw percentage (.747). The Phoenix ranks 27th nationally in free-throw percentage and is second among teams in the top-30 in free-throw percentage in free throws made. No. 1 Indiana is first with 482 free throws. Among Horizon League leaders, Cougill (.840, 42-50) ranks seventh overall while Brown is shooting 79.4 percent in Horizon League play. Sykes has made the third-most free throws in the league (110-138, 79.7 percent).
Single-game tickets for Phoenix home games are on sale with the Green Bay Athletics Ticket Office. For more information and to order tickets, please call 920.465.2625, visit the athletics department offices in the Kress Events Center or access GreenBayPhoenix.com/tickets.

Simulation has gained tremendous momentum over the last decade in academic medical centers, medical schools, and nursing schools as a powerful method of reinforcing clinical knowledge, improving team communication, and teaching decision-making skills.
A national simulation study, conducted by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, found that 87% of nursing schools are now using some form of high- or medium-fidelity simulation.
Furthermore, a study of emergency medicine residency programs found that between 2003 and 2008, use of manikin simulators jumped from 29% to 85%. A wide range of providers from large, multi-hospital systems to smaller, independent hospitals are already using simulation to teach clinical skills and assess the clinical competencies of their workforces. Allowing staff to learn and improve clinical and communication skills until they reach proficiency ultimately improves care and reduces medical errors.
This white paper includes:
� What is simulation-based training?
� Advantages of simulation for acute care training
� Leading simulation models
� Simulation-based training leads to strong ROI
� HealthStream's innovative approach to simulation learning
� How simulation training can help healthcare organizations save lives and money

Arsène Wenger says he was happy with Jernade Meade's full debut in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat against Olympiacos, and believes the 20-year-old has the potential to follow in the footsteps of Ashley Cole and Kieran Gibbs.
Meade delivered a composed performance on his first start for the Club in Greece and, like Cole and Gibbs before him, has been transformed into a full back after starting out on the wing.
Wenger believes the defender has a promising career ahead of him.
"I think he had a good first half," the manager told Arsenal Player.
"When you come from the under-21s, it's a massive change in intensity. He did very well. I'm pleased with his attitude and the fact that he was not fazed. I remember the first ball he got, he cut inside when he was closed down and played the ball. You think there's something there."
Meade is one of the shortest players in the squad but that is not a concern for Wenger.
"I would like them a bit taller, because in England you have to head the ball as well," he said. "But I like the tenacious side, the technical qualities, and the fact they go forward is vital in the modern game."
