Lyon's difficult campaign continued in Paris as they were defeated 1-0 by PSG at the Parc des Princes
Zoumana Camara was the unlikely scorer of the game's only goal, scrambling the ball over the line from point blank range with his knee after substitute Ludovic Giuly diverted a ball across the face of goal following a rare error from Hugo Lloris, who made a misjudgement when coming to claim a free kick.
The Parisians started the match with an impressive tempo, constantly using the height of Guillaume Hoarau as their major centerpiece in the early stages of the game, during which they were at their most dangerous.
Twice in the opening 15 minutes, Hugo Lloris was forced to excel himself by making fine blocks, the pick of which came with a diving stretch to turn a header wide. Moments after that dangerous moment, Mamadou Sakho also tested the home goalkeeper with a header, though this proved a more routine stop.
Lyon was offering very little indeed in the early stages of the game, pinned back by the direct tactics of its hosts. Indeed, OL was lucky not to fall behind when Lloris was caught out of his box following a weak clearance, but Dejan Lovren stationed himself intelligently on the line to clear Christophe Jallet's shot.
Nene would have the last of the hosts' big first half chances, but he volleyed high at the back post as Ceara swept a dangerous cross into the box.
Claude Puel's side had created little in the opening 45 minutes save hopeful efforts from Jimmy Briand and Kim Kallstrom, so it was little surprise to see the ghostly figure of Yoann Gourcuff replaced by Ederson at the interval, changing the dynamic of the offensive line.
Immediately the Rhone side started to look more effective, with Bafetimbi Gomis attacking with particular relish. In the first minute of the second half the former Saint-Etienne man glanced a header wide, but it would be his fine 49th minute hit following Maxime Gonalons' terrific run that would have Parisian hearts in mouths as it crashed off the underside of the bar before bouncing to safety.
Moments later, the confidence of Gomis was displayed when he sent a fizzing shot goalwards from fully 30 yards, which Gregory Coupet did well to turn over the top.
This block seemed to provide a watershed moment in the game as the hosts started to regain a grip on the midfield thereafter, ultimately building pressure gradually to pave the way for Camara's goal.
Though Lyon adopted a more offensive approach in the closing moments of the game, it was rarely able to make Coupet sweat, with PSG controlling the ball well when in possession.
Claude Puel's side is now only one point clear of the Parisians in the race for third, and with Rennes only another mark further back, OL has plenty of work to do just to lock up the third spot in the league.

"The latest weapon to be used by the government to increase the tax burden by stealth is the increase of public monopoly tariffs following the removal of a government subsidy. This has been observed with tariff increases of electricity and water last October, the price hike of gas as of April 1 and the soon-to-be introduced drainage tariff."

Parents elbow kids for the latest "Toy Story" merchandise, while grandparents wonder if the kids already have a Hacker Barbie. But before throwing yesterday's hard-earned bucks into today's hot item, think about giving the gift that lasts a lifetime. No, not jewelry (unless I'm the recipient), but stock.
Not only is gifting shares of equities a hook to help a child become interested in investing; it's a gift that keeps on giving, via dividends and price appreciation. Assuming a conservative return of 10% per year, a 10-year-old who sets aside a mere $10 a month will see the funds grow to more than $174,000 by the time s/he reaches age 60. That's a lot of moolah, especially considering that these days $10 won't even get you a Buzz Lightyear.
A stock certificate in and of itself might not mean very much to a child, so it's important to package it in an appealing manner. Consider buying stock in a company that the child has frequent encounters with -- Kellogg, Mattel, Wrigley, or Coke, to name a few. (Although if you go for the latter two, make sure the child has a good dental plan as well.) Attach the certificate to the item and wrap. Each time the child has breakfast, or rips Barbie's head off her body, she'll be thinking about her company.
Gifting a stock isn't all that hard, once you know the ins and outs. One way is to set up a custodial account with any broker. Under a custodial account, both your name and your loved one's will be on the account. The child is treated as the owner of the monies, but the custodian (you!) controls the investments. Any gains, income, or dividends on the account are taxed at the child's level, which, unless you are gifting stock to the next Shirley Temple, is beneficial from a tax perspective. There will be a minimum amount necessary to open the account (around $500), so check with your broker for specifics.
There are two types of custodial accounts, which apparently were named after Fred Flintstone's expletives: an UGMA (Uniform Gift to Minors Act) and an UTMA (Uniform Transfers to Minors Act). The major difference between the two is that an UTMA allows you to maintain control over the money for a longer period of time. You can read more about it in our Tax area.
If you already own shares of a stock, it will be easier (and cheaper) to gift them. Simply transfer one or more of your shares into the child's name. In order to do this, secure a "stock power" form from a broker or the company's transfer agent and fill it out.
The name of the transfer agent is printed on your stock certificate, but things change so quickly these days, it's best to call them directly and confirm. While they're on the phone, take the opportunity to get specific instructions on exactly how to transfer the share(s).
After filling out the form, which necessitates knowing the child's social security number, bring it to a bank or broker to receive a medallion signature guarantee. (If you are in New York City, a Medallion cabby's signature will not be accepted.)
Finally, return the medallion along with the stock certificate to the transfer agent. Remember to complete an IRS Form W-9 to certify that you are not subject to backup withholding. If you are sending it via mail, make sure it's registered and insured. Once the stock certificate is signed it's fully negotiable.
If you currently hold your stocks in a "street name" you will need to obtain a stock certificate from your broker. This is called "ordering out" and, like its Szechwan counterpart, costs about $25. No tipping is needed, however, and don't expect it to arrive by bicycle. Once you have the certificate, follow the instructions in the above paragraphs.
Gifting a stock is better than giving clothing or toys as it never goes out of style. Unlike chocolate, which disappears in a nanosecond, equity can last a lifetime. And it enables us to rewrite the lyrics to our favorite Christmas standard:
"On the first day of Christmas my grandpa gave to me
A share of Wrigleys in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas my grandma gave to me
Two shares of Coke, and a share of Wrigleys in a pear tree."
Merry gifting!

When travelers palaver, one experience that gets everyone's rapt attention is an account of visiting mountain gorillas. One visitor has written, "There is something deeply touching about seeing these wonderful animals—one almost hesitates to call them that—in their home. Something sweet and informative and piercing. Their wisdom, and that's exactly what it is, sparkles shyly. And here's the interesting part. After seeing the gorillas, you see your fellow humans a little differently.
After a day in Kampala, we drive to two Ugandan gems (Uganda was once known as the Pearl of Africa, remember): the Kibale Forest National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park. And now for the gorillas: we drive to Bwindi National Park for a few days in the thick, lovely forest, encountering our close relatives as they get on with their daily lives. This is an experience you have doubtlessly heard good things about, and our Africa experts have built this trip to give us the finest and most respectful visit possible.

Self-Serve Customs Kiosks To Debut At US Airport
Travelers with a US passport can move more quickly through Chicago's hub using automated booths instead of filling out declaration cards.
Chicago O'Hare airport will be the first U.S. airport to use the Automated Passport Control computer program come July 1st. US passport holders will no longer need to fill out declaration cards when passing through customs. They only need to go through the self-service kiosks as part of the border clearance process.
The automated kiosks has a touch screen display and will require passengers to answer a series of questions. Passengers will be issued a receipt, which they need to present to a Customs and Border Protection Officer along with their U.S. passport and boarding pass for verification.
The program was developed by the Vancouver Airport Authority and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the automated kiosks were were first revealed at Vancouver International Airport earlier this month.
The kiosks do not need pre-registration and are aimed to cut down the lines and waiting time at the customs process. The Chicago Aviation Department plans to set up 32 of these kiosks at O'Hare.

Don E. Porter ASA Hall of Fame Stadium
Oklahoma City, Okla.
Game 10: Tennessee 4, Alabama 0
- Tennessee advances to the WCWS semifinals against Michigan at 7 p.m. Sunday. Alabama is eliminated from the World Series and now owns a 2-6 record in its three appearances. The Tide finished the season with an overall mark of 63-15.
- With the win, Tennessee claimed its 66th victory, which is tied for the third most in NCAA Division I history with the 2000 Alabama and Arizona squads. Illinois-Chicago (1999) and Arizona (1998) share the lead for most victories with 67. It also marked the squad's 50th shutout which extends the NCAA single-season record already set by the Lady Vols this season.
- The Lady Vols' win ensures that a team from the Eastern time zone will make it to the WCWS Championship for the first time in history. Tennessee, making its first appearance in the WCWS, will have to beat Michigan twice to advance to the title game. Not since 2001 has an first-time WCWS team advanced to the semifinals (Stanford Cardinal lost to Arizona in the semis).
- Today's meeting between Alabama and Tennessee was the teams' sixth of the year (Tennessee won four of the six). Alabama now leads the overall series 19-10.
- This year marked the first time in the history of the WCWS that two SEC teams qualified for the World Series. With Tennessee winning, it became just the third time in WCWS history an SEC school has advanced to the semifinals and the first time that an SEC school besides Louisiana State has done it.
- UT sophomore pitcher Monica Abbott moved into second place in the NCAA record books for strikeouts in a season with 590 (Courtney Blades of Southern Miss owns the record with 663 in 2000). She moved past her own second-place record of 582 set her freshman season. Texas' Cat Osterman trails Abbott by just three strikeouts this season.
- Tennessee shortstop Lindsay Schutzler broke the SEC single-season hit record (105) with an RBI single in the bottom of the second. On the next play, she was caught stealing for the first time since April 16 (she had 10 consecutive stolen bases prior to today).
- Lady Vols third baseman Kristi Durant tied the school record for RBIs in a season (77) set by Bridget Jackson in 1996. Durant executed a suicide squeeze in the bottom of the first to score Lindsay Schutzler to put Tennessee on the board.
- Alabama senior Ashley Courtney moved into second on Alabama's career games played list with 274. Fellow senior teammate Jackie Wilkins holds the record with 277.
- Alabama junior Staci Ramsey moved into sole possession of 10th on the Alabama all-time hit list with 171.
- With its nine hits today, Tennessee tied Alabama for most hits in a 2005 WCWS game. Alabama had nine against DePaul in a 12-inning elimination game that ended earlier today. Iowa holds the WCWS record for hits in a game with 17 (1995).

Looking for unusual kitchen items???
We have been able to find some unique items at this store. Dog and cat trivets, dog and cat towels, kitty bakeware, gadgets, mulling spices, etc. The prices are better than department stores and this was a great place when my human brother was setting up his first apartment. We also find great stocking stuffers here each year. At the very least, this is a fun place to stop and browse through.

DVDO Air: How to Stream 2D, 3D Without Wires
The award-winning DVDO Air WirelessHD Solution enables the wireless transmission of uncompressed HD audio and video in 2D and 3D formats, offering a clean, wall-mountable alternative to long cable runs.
Advertorial · December 12, 2012
The DVDO Air WirelessHD solution enables the wireless transmission of uncompressed HD audio and video in 2D and 3D formats from HD sources to a DTV or display, without any interference from other existing wireless technologies.
The solution offers a clean, wall-mountable alternative to long cable runs and provides flexibility in positioning HD equipment anywhere in the room without the placement restrictions of a wired connection. DVDO Air features Silicon Image's 60 GHz WirelessHD technology, which is ideal for interactive, low-latency applications, giving consumers the benefits of a "cable-like" solution for transmitting HD content, but without the cable clutter or delays.
DVDO Air is shipping now and available for purchase through distributors Structured Cable Products, Capitol Sales, and Volutone. Please visit our website for more product information.
60 GHz technology for Zero Interference, Ultra-low Latency
DVDO Air utilizes Silicon Image's 60 GHz WirelessHD technology to achieve the highest performance coupled with interference-free operation and near-zero latency.
Easy Connection Solution Hides the Cable
The DVDO Air wireless connector transfers HD signals from cable DTV and satellite boxes, Blu-ray players, DVRs, AVRs, notebook PCs and other devices to your DTV. The wireless receiver mounts on the DTV or on the wall.
1080p Full HD TV Connection
DVDO Air is compliant with the latest HDMI specification version 1.4b, capable of delivering full HD video in 2D or 3D formats, 7.1 surround sound, and CEC. DVDO Air can also be integrated with DVDO iScan Duo and EDGE Green video processors to provide a complete video solution for the home theater setup.
Benefits of using Air
Since other wireless devices such as mobile phones, cordless phones and Wi-Fi networks use much lower frequency radio signals (under 6 GHz) there's no interference with the DVDO Air's 60 GHz technology, helping to ensure that integrators have a reliable and robust wireless solution that is quick and easy to install. The DVDO Air also saves integrators time, as the system can be quickly and efficiently installed to transmit HDMI signals, instead of painstakingly concealing wires in-wall - resulting in a seamless look that still delivers quality on par with high-end HDMI cables.
Here's What the Critics are Saying
"Set up is extremely simple – just run an HDMI cable into the transmitter and then run another from the receiver to your display."
- Home Theater
"…it's hard to imagine anyone not being impressed by DVDO Air. Except, perhaps, expensive AV cable manufacturers."
- Home Cinema Choice, December 2012
"…a brilliantly simple Wi-Fi video system with the potential to make cables a thing of the past."

|Softener salt?
At least here they sell some DW salt that is to be used in hard water areas... Newer dishwashers even come with a dispenser that is filled with fresh water before the maiden wash, and these salt pellets are then added when necessary and the dispenser is adjusted according to the hardness reading. I've been called on some cases where dishes have remained dirty, and 7 times out of 10 it has been solved by adding the salt. I don't know what it is, but it does make the water softer.
They tell not to use normal NaCl in the manuals, but the stuff tastes the same, and usually if I'm called on such a case, and the DW has the salt dispenser, I dip my finger in the tank and take a lick to find out. Often it's been plain water there, and as said, adding the salt has helped many. In cases with no dispenser, I have crushed half a pellet into the detergent dispenser, and it works the same way.
I have noticed that when handwashing dishes, adding normal salt (NaCl) to the water will break down the foam but it gives better washing results. Perhaps the DW salt does the same, but our DW detergents give very little foam anyway... Also the amount and type of detergent does count. Liquified detergents often leave some slime behind, the powdered concentrate doesn't.
I've noticed the same with hand soap. Most liquid handsoaps end up leaving more gookus into the sink and sewer pipes than conventional hard soap. And, mostly they really don't clean your hands as well. Perhaps this is because sodium laureth olamine (in liquid "soap") adheres with the plastic tubing as well as with grease, but sodium palmitate and stearate (real soap) doesn't do that as much.
I don't know if it's been wise to taste the DW salt, but I still have three eyes and a tail, so I think it hasn't affected me so far. If anyone has info on this salt, like what it is, and how on earth adding more minerals will make the water softer (but it does), I would be glad to know.

The tragedy of Africa is,not only the colonial experience under European powers, but the aftermath of being colonized by its own leaders whose only concern is with retention of power for themselves and their associates. Thanks to the benefit of Western Christianity, a high percent of Africans are infused with hate toward those who fall into the category of being homosexuals. New laws in Uganda, Kenya and Nigeria make homosexuality a crime that is punishable not only with fines or prison, but even with death. President Obama, along with numerous European leaders, urged African heads of government to take a stand that protects the rights of gays and lesbians, Unfortunately, the words of Western Christian leaders is more attractive. They have educated people to hate homosexuals.
Sweden presently contributes over $40 million in economic aid to Uganda, but that money will no longer be delivered due to the new anti-homosexual laws. Along with Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands there is now a movement to halt any economic assistance to an African nation that has made homosexual love to be a crime. Unfortunately, the poor and women who need birth control assistance and children in school will be deprived of economic assistance in order to whip or beat or jail or kill those who are gay or lesbian. Such is the way of Christianity in Africa!!

KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 4): Shares in Genting Bhd gained as much as 1.05% in early trades on Monday on news that the casino license for its subsidiary Genting Singapore Plc's (GenS) Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) had been renewed.
Last Friday, the Casino Regulatory Authority of Singapore (CRA) announced that the license for RWS has been renewed for three years effective Feb 6 following an assessment of RWS' conformity to CRA rules.
At 11.25 am, Genting rose 7 sen or 0.74% to RM9.57 with 2.25 million shares done.
The Singapore Exchange listed GenS which is 51.9%-owned by Genting gained as much as 2.5 cents or 1.64% from yesterday's close to SGD1.55 with 18.48 million shares traded.
"With effect from Jan 31, 2013, the games that may be played in a casino, their mode of play and game rules are approved by the CRA via a notice in writing, issued pursuant to section 100(1) of the Casino Control Act," CRA said in a statement.
This follows a recent fine on Jan 15 for GenS by the regulator which totalled SGD40,000 for failing to bar entry to Singaporean citizens or permanent residents who had not paid entry levies.
CRA rules dictate that these persons are required to pay an entry levy of SGD100 to enter casinos.
A newswire quoted the company as saying it was "committed to run its business responsibly".
"As a good corporate citizen and long term investor in Singapore, RWS believes in improving the community we are in," the company was quoted saying.

Teenager Mario Balotelli, who had spent much of the season in Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho's doghouse, scored twice and Hernan Crespo added the equalizer in the 77th minute.
Roma had gone ahead on first-half goals from Daniele De Rossi and John Arne Riise, and Matteo Brighi made it 3-1.
Balotelli was starting because star Zlatan Ibrahimovic is sidelined with a muscle problem.
"A point is gold from a match like this," Mourinho said. "The match seemed lost at 3-1. My team deserves this point, not for the quality of play. Their character made the difference."
Juventus beat Napoli, 1-0, at home thanks to Claudio Marchisio's goal on Saturday.
Third-place AC Milan's troubles continued when it lost, 2-1, at Sampdoria. The loss followed its elimination from the UEFA Cup that put Coach Carlo Ancelotti's job under threat.
"We are conceding goals too easily," Ancelotti said. "We found ourselves 2-0 down even though we had played more or less as well as Sampdoria. It is a delicate moment that must pass and we must make it pass with the least damage possible.
David Beckham, on loan from the Los Angeles Galaxy, was replaced in th 68th minute of AC Milan's loss to Sampdoria that loosened its grip on third-place -- a finish at which earns a Champions League spot.

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Pennsylvania and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

"For many of our students, study abroad turns out to be the single most educationally enriching, indeed life-altering experience they have as an undergraduate. I can't recommend it highly enough."
—Gary Thomas, Director of Undergraduate Studies
Department of Cultural Studies & Comparative Literature
"Spending a semester abroad in Paris was absolutely amazing. Learning Abroad gave me the opportunity to improve my French Language skills and participate in a culture and a way of life very different from my own."
—Jenna Lyons, CSCL student who studied in Paris, France, through CIEE Critical Studies program
This is the basic process you'll complete in order to study abroad. The order in which you do things is somewhat flexible.
Review the following suggestions from the Department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature before beginning your study abroad research.
Though each course is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, consider the following recommendations before starting your research:
After you have selected a program or institution for your study abroad, please schedule a meeting with the CSCL undergraduate adviser, Michelle Livingston, at 612-626-7299 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Please bring the following materials to the meeting:
Final approval for every learning abroad course will not be finalized until you provide the syllabus and, if possible, coursework for review upon your return. Please note, however, that most courses that are pre-approved will be granted final approval if all course requirements are met and the course syllabus resembles CSCL or SCMC courses in content and/or approach.
Advance planning can help you use study abroad to satisfy many of the University's Liberal Education requirements. Consult early with your CLA student community adviser to decide which requirements you want to satisfy through coursework taken overseas during your learning abroad experience.
Consult the Learning Abroad Center's U-Credit Abroad database for a list of approved courses. If you identify a course that seems appropriate but is not on the list, it may mean simply that it has not yet been screened; in such a case, submit the course for evaluation via the Learning Abroad Center online database.
If you are at the beginning or intermediate level, consider a program where you can study and be surrounded by a language. If you already have reasonably advanced language skills, consider a program taught in another language.

Gianfrancesco Gonzaga (1446–1496)
was Antico's first patron. A younger son of the Marchese of Mantua, Ludovico Gonzaga, he inherited lands to the west and south of Mantua on his father's death in 1478 and set up a small but elegant court at Bozzolo. The 1496 inventory produced at Gianfrancesco's death is a key documentary source for Antico's life and art.

2013 signal caller Brice Ramsey(Camden County) won the QB MVP award. He has all the tools to be one of the top QBs in the country in two years. Ramsey can throw it all over the field and is very accurate. After being a back-up as a sophomore, he should explode on the scene next year.
Plant City's Bennie Coney was about an inch taller than the last time we saw him and he threw the ball well. Last year he was the MVP in Georgia and he did many of the same things on Saturday. He is a good athlete, but is a QB first. We really liked the way he varied the speed on his throws. Coney currently holds multiple BCS offers including FSU.
New Lakeland QB Jadrian Clark was bigger than we expected. He throws a very catchable ball with a lot of touch. It will be interesting to see how he fits into the Dreadnaught offense in 2011. He had a great junior year at George Jenkins.
East Lake's Peter DiNovo will be one to watch in 2013. He has excellent size for a sophomore and he spun it well on a variety of throws.
Long-term keep an eye on 2014's Hunter Boyett. Just a freshmen, he has a ton potential down the road.
Nick Patti showed why he is the top QB in Florida. He spins it as well as anyone and is extremely accurate. The only thing he will have to fight on the recruiting trail is his height. He is very strong and can make plays with his feet as well.
We came away very impressed with Tarpon Springs Louie Pappas. He does everything well including throwing on the move. We look forward to seeing him at the 7on7 in Tampa in two weeks.
Running Backs
Plant City's Dazmond Patterson walked away with the RB award. While short in stature, he is strong and thick. Patterson could end up in the slot at the next level. He really caught the ball well on Saturday and is a mismatch against LBs in the passing game.
Yulee's Derrick Henry checked in at just under 6'3 and 229 pounds. He is a freak athlete for his size. Big athletes like this are hard to find and there will be plenty of chatter about what position he ends up at. Right now he is a RB and he has the feet and athleticism to thrive there down the road. He was clocked in the 4.6 range which is very impressive for a sophomore, let alone one with this size.
Cocoa's Tarean Foslton was a top performer out of the backfield as well. He is a very quick back with good cuts and soft hands. He shifted side to side well during drills and he was the first back called up during the Showcase at the end of the camp.
Wide Receivers
Treasure Coast's Travares Copeland won the WR Award and the overall MVP Award. He has played mainly QB the past two years, but showed that he has the chance to be a difference-maker at the WR position. Very quick with great hands, he plays the game effortlessly. Just a natural athlete.
2013 Ridge athlete Shykeem Pitts put himself on the map with a strong showing. Karlos Williams came out of Ridge last year and Pitts should have colleges once again flocking there. He has speed and elite hands with a build that will add weight. He could help at a number of spots in the future.
Booker's Ricky Jones had a good day. He has excellent quickness with a powerful upper body. Jones will see plenty of interest in the Spring evaluation period.
Yulee's Kelvin Rainey had a good day. He worked out as a TE/WR, but could just as easily get looks as an OLB. He runs well and showed the work ethic that he is known for. South Carolina and FSU seem to have separated themselves from the pack in his recruitment.
Homestead's Herbert Waters was putting on a dominant performance before being sidelined with an injury. Waters displayed the ability to beat the jam with his quickness and can run with anyone. He has been tremendous thus far during the camp/combine season.
Plant City's Lamarlin Wiggins is another big target. He caught the ball well and is a big outside WR for QBs to find. When you watch Wiggins you can't help but think about how he would look as a potential OLB. Great athlete.
2103's Richard Benjamin(Tampa Middleton) put on a show at the WR spot. He ran a variety of routes and created separation on all of them. Smooth big guy with hands, he will have a chance to be one of the top WRs in the state next year.
Ocala Forest's James Brooks is a beast. At 5'9, he carries 190+ and possesses burst with nimble feet. We did not know much about him heading into today, but he certainly caught our eye with a great performance. He will be tough to handle in the slot.
Olympia's James Hamilton walked away with MVP award for OL. At 6'3, 350 he has elite size and moves extemely well for a player with that weight. He is a guard at the next level and showed why he will be on many BCS schools radar this Spring.
DeAndre Wise has attended numerous MVP Camps and he continues to improve. He was called out during the Elite Showcase at the end of the day and he held his own. He went against some quicker guys that will play end on the next level, but he will be a center in college.
Dr. Phillips Kaseem Edman took home the DL MVP award. At 6'3, 220 he is a terror on the edge with his explosiveness and ability to use his hands. Edman has a lot of strength in his upper body. He has the athleticism to play LB as well.
Vero Beach's Dwayne Hoilett once again showed the explosiveness off the edge that he is known for. Due to a number snafu he did not get to go 1on1 at the end of camp, but he had a very good performance overall. At 6'2, 210 he could get looks as an OLB as well.
Homestead's Pedro Sibiea continues to show the type of size and athleticism that should make him one of the more heavily recruited defensive linemen in the state. He holds an offer from Florida and was in Gainesville on Friday.
Kenneth White was dominant on Saturday, but part of that was because of his size compared to those he was going up against. He is a 5-foot-10, 185 pound athlete that worked as an end because he plays there in high school, but he will be a strong safety on the next level. He ran one of the fastest times in the 40 yard dash at 4.37 seconds. Nobody could get a hand on him during the Elite Showcase at the end.
Dwyer's Evan Harvey won the MVP award for LBs. He put together a strong performance showing the athleticism to run with RBs and the toughness to match-up with bigger WRs. He just needs to continue developing physically.
Mainland's Quinton Powell was one of the best looking players on the field. The 2013 prospect is jacked up and moves like a Safety. Look for him to really make a name for himself as a junior.
Treasure Coast's Patrick Jean is an intriguing prospect because of his length. At 6'3 he is a little light right now, but certainly has the room to add weight. He moves well and can change directions as well as anyone. Treasure Coast has been churning out BCS defensive players, he might be next in line.
Defensive Backs
Vanguard's P.J. Williams won the DB MVP award. The Florida State commitment showed that he could play either CB or S at the next level after running a 4.37. Built strong and thick up top, he uses that strength at the line of scrimmage. He appears to be one of the top DBs in the state.
T.J. Gurley had a good day throughout the drills and the one on one session. He is a very physical corner who ran well with many of the top wide receivers at the event. He has played some safety and corner in high school, but will end up as a boundary corner on the next level.
Twins Jamonte Jones and Damonte Jones put on a show. The 2013 prospects walked away with the Top Underclassmen Award because of their physicality and lock-down corner skills. These two should terrorize receivers the next two years. Both have natural cover instincts with excellent feet.
Edgewater's Karl Joseph is another player who is built the right way. He has made a name for himself as a LB in high school, but he showed that he has CB skills on Saturday. Excellent athlete with the speed and hips to be a difference maker there. Reports are that he has been a stand-out on the Central Florida 7on7 team thus far and will be their top corner.
The MVP Camp will be in Georgia next month at Lovejoy High School where some of the top talent in the South is expected to be and you can contact Southeastern Recruiting Analyst Chad Simmons at email@example.com for details.

World anti-doping chiefs today insisted the proposed tougher sanctions for drugs cheats should bring an end to the British Olympic Association's aim to revive their lifetime ban for dopers.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) will double the ban for serious offences, such as taking steroids, to four years from 2015 under its new draft code.
The BOA's lifetime ban was overturned in the Court or Arbitration for Sport in May after action by WADA but it has continued to press to be allowed to retain full control of their selection process.
WADA president John Fahey said the new code would reflect calls from many countries for tougher sanctions but maintain a global, harmonised code.
Fahey told a conference call: "The court made it abundantly clear that it was paramount there be harmonisation.
"The draft code reflects the desire to increase sanctions and that four-year [ban] will take out somebody competing at the next Olympics, but it is not specific to the BOA or the Olympic movement.
"It is simply a four-year term catch-all that strengthens the code.
"The BOA had their own bylaw which ended in court and was not accepted.
"There was overwhelming support for increased sanctions and a life ban is still available for multiple offences as it is in the old code."
Fahey said WADA had received legal advice that the four-year ban for a first offence would not be overturned in court.
The BOA said the tougher penalties were a step in the right direction.
BOA spokesman Darryl Seibel said: "There has been broad consensus that a two-year sanction for a serious first-time doping offence was insufficient and did not send the right message as a deterrent to those who might consider breaking the rules. By strengthening the sanction, WADA is moving in the right direction."
The longer ban would see athletes miss at least one Olympic Games - effectively enforcing the same measure as the International Olympic Committee's so-called Osaka Rule which was dropped last year.
The Osaka Rule was successfully challenged by American sprinter LaShawn Merritt in the Court of Arbitration for Sport last year.
Merritt was banned for 21 months in 2009 but under Rule 45 he would also have been excluded from this summer's Games in London.
His case was taken up by the United States Olympic Committee and he was cleared to compete, but pulled up in the 400 metres semi-final with a hamstring problem.
WADA confirmed the Osaka rule is not in the draft version of the code.
A statement on the WADA website read: "The present draft (of the WADA code) substantially strengthens the sanctions for serious violations, increasing from two years to four years the penalties, for example, for the use of anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, masking agents, trafficking and prohibited methods.
"Consequently, Rule 45 of the Olympic Charter has not been included in the draft version of the code. Also known as the Osaka Rule, it was part of the Olympic Charter until last year when it was ruled non-compliant with the code."

Drag Day G2G event (DATE SET)!!
gonna start it off and work on gettin it situated. all the who's whats wheres etc.
we could possibily have a potential date in the Fall edition of SVT day (no you dont need a SVTF to run as you've seen w/me) at 75-80 Dragway put on by the folks at Free State SVTOA. dates are tentative and their workin on settin it up...i'll be in touch w/them about it.
FS-SVTOA Drag Day.......Nov 8th. from 10-3 at 75/80. 20bux (15 if SVT member) to run all day (Gonna get LOTS of runs, i got 16 last time and i took breaks for eliminations (i ran in a class, you can just run for time though too)).
i'll get a list started and i'll jump on the other boards to get some action goin.
Sounds like a plan, that would already have some more foci there...cool I'll be the freak job and bring the wagon.[driving]
I just looked at the web sight and the fall ford spectacular is oct 11 and 12 at 75-80, is that when the svt guys are going??
that is another event put on at 75/80 for fords (SVTOA will be present though)...i'm lookin into that event some more as well, as its another possibility for us. there is likely gonna be racing and time trials as well as the show/swap meet they have. have 1 of these every yr, but i'm workin on it.
thats sounds like fun can anyone come?
Thats what makes drag racing so much fun. It is usually 8 or 10 bucks to get in the gate for the day, and it is like 15 to 30 dollars to run your car. It depends on the track and the event. When you go you can watch and say, " hey that looks like fun and give it a try. At the level we are all running ( just for fun and bragging rights) no one will pick on you or make fun, actually people try to help out, and with the slower cars all you need is a seatbelt!
I have been roadrtacing for about 16 years on and off and know that sport quite well, but had never dragged till two years ago ( my first light was over 1 sec.[:I] ), I had a friend come up to me and tell me how to do it a little better and the quest was on. You will get to see some fast cars and have some fun, come on out I'll buy you a drink!!
let me know when this event may happen and viney if the comment about the drink was for me then im taking your word on it ok. i would love to go and see how it all goes down
Yeah it was meant for you, I'll buy you one , but if you are going to run it can't be a beer![drinking]
ill make sure i take the beer after if i run which most likely i wont so i can definately have that drink. just let me know if thats a goog go or not
Geez, all kinds of things are happening next month. I'd like to go but I'd watch. Never been to the drag strip before.

The company is liquidating its stores and inventory.
The influencer marketing platform has announced a centralized dashboard to facilitate transparent communication and execution of social marketing campaigns.
John Pecaric, chief commercial officer at R.R. Donnelley, explains.
Consumer searches are beginning — and ending — on the e-commerce behemoth.
Retailers ran 435 new ads in May, which was about the same number as April.
Backed by extensive data and enhanced with new technology, influencer marketing has become a well-oiled marketing machine.
Though Zara and Revolve still lead the stats, Farfetch and Yeezy are climbing the ranks.
It costs more to acquire a user who will register on the app and then actually make a purchase.
Born between 1995 and 2010, the 61-million strong Gen Z has one million more people than Millennials.
Users will now be able to access audience demographic information and profiles on its extensive influencer database.
Consumers are becoming more familiar with the technology, signaling to retailers to ready themselves for future integration.
A new tag for influencers and others to make it more clear for followers to distinguish between regular and paid posts will be tested and then rolled out globally.
An updated tone of black makes a return for next year — investigated and cultivated in line with consumer mind-sets and evolving aesthetic themes.
A new survey confirmed that item descriptions and peer reviews rank highest among factors influencing consumers' purchases.
The first-quarter index proves that customized content that's integrated throughout the entire customer journey is essential for success.

Physical Description Fields & LLs
Legacy Libraries
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
With the addition of physical description fields (see the blog) comes a whole new series of wrinkles for the LLs :-)
Basically the trouble comes when a record has been added and edited, of course, since it will display the physical description data that came with the original record, unless edited.
To get around this I have hidden the phys desc fields from the LLs that are completed; if folks want to go in and add this information where possible, be my guest. For those in progress, I leave it up to the organizers whether to hide the fields or not.
I'll be going through the LEA ones and updating the fields as necessary (mainly so as to get better volume counts), but that will likely be a long process.
Also, on the volume front: for pamphlet volumes, there should be a volume value entered for only one item within the pamphlet volume (or else the overall count will be off). I tried to get a fraction-aware volume field, but was unsuccessful :-)
Any questions, &c., let me know!
Shouldn't be a problem for Doctor Johnson, Charles Lamb, James Boswell -- we've almost always added in the correct edition or entered it manually.

With the North American release of the sporty Gen.4 Haldex-equipped VW R20 and Audi TT-RS, HPA is proud to announce the release of its exclusive Competition controller for these newest platforms.
In 2004, HPA collaborated with the engineers at Haldex to develop an exclusive Competition variant of the Gen.1 Haldex ECU. Unlike any existing controller, HPAs Competition unit retained rear driveline engagement under braking; a key advantage in motorsports, and for driving enthusiasts.
Once again, we worked with the team at Haldex to develop this exclusive Gen.4 Competition version, and bring this potent technology back to the market. The HPA Gen.4 Competition Controller is calibrated similar to the "Race mode" setting used in the standard Gen.4 Performance Controllers, but has the additional feature of increasing the clutch torque when braking. By doing so, wheel brake torque is now transferred rearwards through the AWD clutch, offering a far more aggressive deceleration capability. Additionally, the Competition controller will support left foot braking without disengaging the 4-motion clutch while out on the track.
This Gen.4 Competition unit does not offer the selectable modes offered in our standard Gen.4 Haldex Performance Controllers (Stock, Race, and Eco, for reference), and therefore no extra switch or remote is required.
The HPA Competition controller is the ultimate tuner solution for your Gen.4 Haldex-equipped car.
The Gen.4 Competition controller is available at a price of $1099.00 + shipping. International customers should contact HPA directly for a shipping quote to their destination.
Orders can be placed with Visa/MC by calling HPA directly at 604.598.8520 ext.110. PayPal payment can also be processed via the HPA Website.

The Chicago Board of Trade has altered the way it deals with ethanol, slightly. In a release on Monday it said:
Ethanol futures have been trading at the CBOT, now part of the CME Group, since March 2005. The Ethanol futures prices will be used in the settlement of both the options on Ethanol futures and the cash-settled options. Forward Month Ethanol Swaps, launched in December 2006, will serve as the underlying value for those options.

Comparison of temporal processing and motion perception in emmetropes and myopes
Kuo, Hui-Ying (2009) Comparison of temporal processing and motion perception in emmetropes and myopes. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
|Hui-Ying Kuo Thesis (PDF 1MB)
|Hui-Ying Kuo Citation (PDF 19kB)
While spatial determinants of emmetropization have been examined extensively in animal models and spatial processing of human myopes has also been studied, there have been few studies investigating temporal aspects of emmetropization and temporal processing in human myopia. The influence of temporal light modulation on eye growth and refractive compensation has been observed in animal models and there is evidence of temporal visual processing deficits in individuals with high myopia or other pathologies. Given this, the aims of this work were to examine the relationships between myopia (i.e. degree of myopia and progression status) and temporal visual performance and to consider any temporal processing deficits in terms of the parallel retinocortical pathways.
Three psychophysical studies investigating temporal processing performance were conducted in young adult myopes and non-myopes: (1) backward visual masking, (2) dot motion perception and (3) phantom contour. For each experiment there were approximately 30 young emmetropes, 30 low myopes (myopia less than 5 D) and 30 high myopes (5 to 12 D). In the backward visual masking experiment, myopes were also classified according to their progression status (30 stable myopes and 30 progressing myopes).
The first study was based on the observation that the visibility of a target is reduced by a second target, termed the mask, presented quickly after the first target. Myopes were more affected by the mask when the task was biased towards the magnocellular pathway; myopes had a 25% mean reduction in performance compared with emmetropes. However, there was no difference in the effect of the mask when the task was biased towards the parvocellular system. For all test conditions, there was no significant correlation between backward visual masking task performance and either the degree of myopia or myopia progression status.
The dot motion perception study measured detection thresholds for the minimum displacement of moving dots, the maximum displacement of moving dots and degree of motion coherence required to correctly determine the direction of motion. The visual processing of these tasks is dominated by the magnocellular pathway. Compared with emmetropes, high myopes had reduced ability to detect the minimum displacement of moving dots for stimuli presented at the fovea (20% higher mean threshold) and possibly at the inferior nasal retina. The minimum displacement threshold was significantly and positively correlated to myopia magnitude and axial length, and significantly and negatively correlated with retinal thickness for the inferior nasal retina. The performance of emmetropes and myopes for all the other dot motion perception tasks were similar.
In the phantom contour study, the highest temporal frequency of the flickering phantom pattern at which the contour was visible was determined. Myopes had significantly lower flicker detection limits (21.8 ± 7.1 Hz) than emmetropes (25.6 ± 8.8 Hz) for tasks biased towards the magnocellular pathway for both high (99%) and low (5%) contrast stimuli. There was no difference in flicker limits for a phantom contour task biased towards the parvocellular pathway. For all phantom contour tasks, there was no significant correlation between flicker detection thresholds and magnitude of myopia.
Of the psychophysical temporal tasks studied here those primarily involving processing by the magnocellular pathway revealed differences in performance of the refractive error groups. While there are a number of interpretations for this data, this suggests that there may be a temporal processing deficit in some myopes that is selective for the magnocellular system. The minimum displacement dot motion perception task appears the most sensitive test, of those studied, for investigating changes in visual temporal processing in myopia. Data from the visual masking and phantom contour tasks suggest that the alterations to temporal processing occur at an early stage of myopia development. In addition, the link between increased minimum displacement threshold and decreasing retinal thickness suggests that there is a retinal component to the observed modifications in temporal processing.

IMI boss Martin Lamb stepped down today from the engineering group after 13 years in the top job. He will be replaced by former Weir Group chief executive Mark Selway on January 1, before retiring from IMI's board at its AGM later in the year.
Chairman Roberto Quarta said: "During Martin's period of leadership the company has been transformed from a lowly rated industrial conglomerate into a truly global engineering business. Operating margins have more than doubled, earnings have more than trebled and its market capitalisation increased by nearly six-fold."
Shares in IMI, which supplied the beer pumps for Arsenal's Emirates stadium, have risen by almost 35% over the past year. The company has benefited from the shale boom in the US because it makes valves for gas refinery customers.
Selway returns to the UK after a stint in his native Australia where he ran building materials group Boral. According to reports, he left Boral with a hefty payout last year after losing the support of its board. In the City, he is credited with transforming the fortunes of Weir.

Danish A Cappella Group Takes on '90s Hits
Imagine this: What if there were a music-filled, Brady-inspired video of stacked heads singing '90s classic hits? What could be better, right? Well today is your lucky day!
A capella group Local Vocal took on the best of the '90s and recorded it in a fancy video for all to enjoy — and it's good 'til the last drop. The Danish singers tried their hand lots of hit tracks, including Ace of Base's 'All That She Wants,' Reel 2 Real's 'I Like to Move It' and La Bouche's 'Be My Lover,' as well as the 'A Night at the Roxbury' anthem 'What is Love,' among many others.
While it seems that most of the sweet singing folks were likely in their 20s when these tunes first debuted, there are a few salt-and-pepper hairdos scattered throughout, making this blended rendition all the more awesome. It's especially fun because not everyone sings at once, so you can divert your eyes to whichever floating head you find most appealing … Or hilarious. We just wish Local Vocal would have given attention to just one boy band!

It's nice to find out some good people you know are carrying.
The "silent army" is growing.
This is a discussion on Things I learned this summer within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Welll I have had my CCW about 5 weeks. I went to a small family reunion this summer in Utah. The men stated talking about ...
Welll I have had my CCW about 5 weeks. I went to a small family reunion this summer in Utah. The men stated talking about guns and I proudly announced that wife and I had applied for CCW permits. Son in law #1 has had a permit as long as I have known him. Son in law #2 announced he had a permit ( I had no idea), long lost cousin from WA ( state) announced he had a permit and finally brother in law from CA announced he travels with a gun. So way more than half of the familys represented either had a gun on their person or at least one in the car. Next point... I just finished an 8500 mile road trip to the East coast and was stopped at a campground in Illionis. ( no CCW rights period!) My license plate frame mentions the second ammendment. A fellow camper walked by, read my plate frame, turned around and walked back to me and said so I guess you are being a little more careful with your concealed weapon too. I said don't ask me questions and I won't lie to you. He just smiled. I guess my point is that I discoverd that there is a whole world of people that take personal safety and gun rights serious, just like me. My eyes have been opened regarding the "silent army" of individuals that don't boast, brag, flash or walk around with an attitude they just fit in like every body else but are prepared to protect where ever they might be. It's wonderful to know in spite of everything that's going on that liberal ideas have not changed the core values of this country.
In a gun fight, you can not miss fast enough, to catch up.
It's nice to find out some good people you know are carrying.
The "silent army" is growing.
Also I think more people are realizing we that legally carry arent having gun battles in the streets. I remember when Texas got CHL's. Right before it was signed into law there was all this talk of people gunning each other down in the streets and walking into a place to eat with people taking off jackets and seeing guns all over the place (which is stupid because its concealed carry but you get the idea). I had a senior pastor church who found out from my wife that I taught CHL classes. I ended up teaching the whole pastoral staff. The discussion of open carry is constantly brought up in Texas and the anti gun crowd is right back at it with reverting to the old west and gun battles. its just ignorant. I focus more on educating anti gun folks and try to debunk the Brady hype which is easy because they use incorrect data and skew the truth.
But yes it is comforting to talk to fellow people who carry legally. They are not mall ninjas or LEO wannabes. They are dad, moms, grandparents, doctors, businessmen and women, etc. Everyday good guys.
We are growing...Lets keep it that way..
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
While a 2nd Amendment supporter, I would think having supporting license plates advertises that you have a gun, much like the "Protected by Smith & Wesson" stickers. If stopped, no question the LEO will ask about you carrying. For me I'd rather stealth carry.

Hempfield golfers a pleasant surprise for coach
Brian Spang entered the golf season treating his lineup like a crossword puzzle, trying to fit the right name in the right spot.
Spang, coach of the Hempfield boys golf team, struggled to fill out his six-man rotation a year removed from sending a group to the WPIAL finals. What Spang did know was that junior Javon Trout would have to step up and carry what would be a young team in a difficult section.
"Man, when we started getting ready for the season in the summer, I really wasn't sure who we were going to plug in there," Spang said. "I look back now and can't be happier with how these guys stepped up and played all year."
Spang's struggles with the lineup card subsided early on. He added leadership in senior Andy Roshkosh and junior Fisher Bagiatis — whose brother Hunter qualified for the WPIAL individual finals last year. With three of the six spots filled, Spang gave a shot to freshman Zach Suchko.
Trout's spot on the roster was never in question. This season, he shot seven rounds under par and one at even par in his 17 times on the course. Two of his worst rounds came when he battled a week with flu-like symptoms.
"We have really competed exceptionally well, even with losing six seniors from a team that won the section," Spang said. "We were coming off a really high season and my hopes were kind of 'ehh.' But this group has really competed and improved and golfed well for us."
Not only did the Spartans compete, but also surprised everyone individually and as a team. Hempfield knocked off section-leader, Indiana, earlier in the year and the four aforementioned golfers were WPIAL qualifiers.
Trout shot an even-par 72, good for second, at the section qualifier at Valley Green Golf Course on Sept. 17. Bagiatis followed suit with a 77 and Roshkosh and Suchko each shot a 78 to also qualify for the WPIAL Class AAA semifinals on Tuesday at Youghiogheny Country Club.
Spang was delighted to follow his golfers throughout the day and regardless of the outcomes, knew the season went better than planned.
"From where I thought we were gonna be I can't be more happy for the guys who qualified and even the guys who didn't," he said. "We were able to two years in a row beat Indiana — that's been a phenomenal team — and put some guys on display individually."
Wednesday at the semifinals, Bagiatis (79), Trout (80) and Roshkosh (80) all advanced by finishing in the top 12. They will compete in the WPIAL Class AAA championship Oct. 2 at Diamond Run Golf Club in Sewickley. Suchko shot an 83 to finish outside of the top 12.
Spang said the season has been a success and was thrilled at how the group came together. He said the example the upperclassmen have set will make filling out next year's lineup card easier.
"The upperclassman couldn't have set a better example and the freshmen really paid attention and golfed well," he said. "It's just been a great opportunity for those three (upperclassmen) to show them how to play the game and how to have fun."

The TJX Companies' net income for the third quarter soared 35% to $622.6 million from $461.5 million in the year-ago period. The better-than-expected results prompted the company to raise its full-year guidance.
Net sales increased approximately 9% to $6.98 billion from $6.41 billion as bargain-hunting consumers flocked to its stores. Same-store sales rose 5%. The chain credited the ability of its off-price format to succeed in any economic environment as a key component of its strong quarterly performance.
"We believe these robust results demonstrate, once again, our ability to succeed in all types of economic and retail environments. We are raising our full-year guidance to reflect our third quarter performance," said Carol Meyrowitz, CEO of TJX. "The fourth quarter is off to a good start and we see exciting opportunities for this holiday selling season: we have great initiatives planned and will be shipping fresh gift-giving selections to our stores throughout the holiday season. Longer term, we see tremendous potential ahead for TJX, and we remain very confident in our ability to continue driving substantial top- and bottom-line growth."

Thanks for the response ;Actually i've read about its legal conditions ,but i am asking in could my case be approved? as its only a supermarket with 2 e employees and it doesn't require a really strong manager or executive! I hope i've explained good enough what i mean .
It could, but it all depend on the quality of supporting documents which you present to USCIS.
Do you think you are able to qualify me? i have business records for 1 year and 1 month and a business plan to start another identhic one in us ,do you need some particular other doc?
I can't guarantee the result. If you wish to discuss, please give me a call. 832.247.6932

I echo many comments regarding true RGB LEDs and I would suggest a board with 36 individual LEDs and a diffuser to match. With 36 addressable LEDs you could use it both for navigation (10 degree per LED) and time (3 divisions per hour) applications..
Of course a breakout board would be great!
No public wish lists :(

On Revit, i could easily access the quaility of the image through anti-alias. When i started my 3ds for the 1st time, it was there under my rendering. I didnt use it because i was not sure of the use of it, so i left it untouched. Now after i realised what that bar does, i cannot find it.
