Spotting during pregnancy?
I started spotting a few days ago. It was brownish initially, but then went to bright red. I went to the ER, because I didn't know what else to do. Thankfully the dr said everything was ok. I guess I am nervous, this is my second pregnancy and this is all new to me, AGAIN. I have to go for an ultrasound next week and I am nervous about the possibility of a miscarriage. I am 10 weeks now, anyone what the % are for the possibility of a miscarriage?

I had brown and pink with a little red for about a week or two. Mine was from a really bad yeast infection. There are a handful of reasons you can bleed in pregnancy that have nothing to do with the pregnancy itself. Sex and infections are the two I know of. I'd ask your doctor.posted 12/29/2010 by poohthebear
I would relax. I am 13 weeks and have had the same thing. Doctor said it could be that the placenta is low in the uterus, but that it moves up as the uterus expands. I have my level 2 u/s tomorrow. Just reading through some old questions about bleeding it made me feel alot better about how many had healthy babies. Good luck! :)posted 12/29/2010 by BEnright77

Under the Indian tax laws, where a payment is being made to a non-resident and the same is taxable in India, the payer is required to withhold appropriate taxes. In case of non-compliance with this obligation, the payer is treated as assessee-in-default and is exposed to interest, penalty and prosecution (in specific circumstances).
Withholding tax is an effective and major revenue collection measure for tax authorities. The focus of tax authorities on withholding tax compliance and enforcement is ever increasing and there are many controversies on this subject.
In a situation where the payer is of the view that only a part of the entire amount (payable to non-resident) is chargeable to tax, such a payer may make an application to the tax authority to determine such sum (which is chargeable to tax).
There have been controversies in the past on: (1) whether withholding obligation and the need to approach the tax authority is still triggered if the payments is not chargeable to tax at all, and (2) whether with regard to the transactions (such as those resulting in capital gains or trading receipts) where only a part of total payment represents taxable gain, withholding is required with respect to the gross amount or only the taxable gain portion.
Views of judiciary
In the case of Samsung Electronics and others, the Karnataka High Court took a view that any remittance made to a non-resident would be subject to withholding tax, regardless of its chargeability to tax in India. A relaxation from this requirement is possible only where specific application is made to the tax authority for determination of tax to be withheld and such tax authority confirms no tax withholding. This judgment had created a large controversy, as it meant that practically for all foreign remittances from India, application for tax withholding needs to be made.
Subsequently, the Supreme Court, in a landmark ruling in the case of GE India Technology, held that withholding tax obligation would apply only if the payments are chargeable to tax in India. Whereas, in respect of composite payments, tax is be deducted only in respect of the appropriate portion which represents the chargeable amount. The Supreme Court also held that if the payer is fairly certain, then the payer can make its own determination of the chargeable amount and restrict its tax withholding obligation to such an amount. Thus, the Samsung ruling was set aside by the Court.

Three Berbice post offices under renovation
-rental spaces garner Corporation $60M annually
Three Berbice post offices are being refurbished as the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) moves to improve its services. The three are located at Skeldon, Eversham and Nigg.
Chairman of the GPOC, Bishop Juan Edghill, said at a press conference on Thursday at the State House, New Amsterdam, that it was the Board's decision months ago, that resulted from numerous recommendations and concerns by residents and members of the GPOC themselves, to have their offices refurbished and renovated with modernised equipment and facilities since this would ensure a boost in the production of the entity.
Bishop Edghill stated that with the limited finances available, the Corporation was able to facilitate some construction works at the Skeldon, Eversham and Nigg Post Offices, which complemented the works carried out at the Black Bush Polder, Benab and Canje Post Offices.
According to the official, the Post Office is a public corporation which generates its own revenue to handle its state of affairs and expenses which is why there have been spaces identified at these three Post Offices where businesses can obtain rental spaces.
Rental spaces have over the years accounted for a large percentage of the GPOC's income and annually brings in close to $60M.
Bishop Edghill added that there has been drastic improvement in the efficiency of mail delivery in Berbice, in the tracking and sampling since the mail from Georgetown get to New Amsterdam before 7:00h every morning.
A contractor then transports those intended for the Skeldon Post Office.
Post Master General, Henry Dundas, said that the visit on Thursday allowed the Directorate to first hand view the circumstances under which a customer is served and recommendations will allow operatives to be more comfortable as the GPOC is constantly looking to improve timeliness of delivery.
He said that the GPOC plans to expand the offices at Port Kaituma and have repairs done at Meten-Meer-Zorg and urged customers to ensure that overseas mail is posted by December 11 and local mail by December 19 to ensure that recipients obtain them before Christmas Day.

Does Meditation Have a Place in the Classroom?Hannah Tennant-Moore
The U.S. Department of Education recently awarded a major grant to help fund teachers' training in contemplative practices such as meditation. Known as Cultivating Awareness and Resiliency in Education (CARE), the program that received the grant uses mindfulness meditation to help teachers recognize emotional patterns–both their own and their students'–so that they can more skillfully respond to classroom social problems like bullying.
According to Patricia Jennings, the director of CARE, "Surprisingly, there has been very little research into what is required to be a good teacher in terms of the psycho-social skills needed to run a good classroom and foster a healthy class climate and good student-teacher relationships."
So far, teachers in Denver, San Francisco, and Philadelphia have received CARE training, and the grant will be used in part to judge the effect of CARE on classrooms. Jennings hopes that the field of contemplative education will one day be an integral part of American schools.
I can certainly think of many teachers from my grade-school days who would have benefited greatly from this kind of training, either because years of teaching had beaten them down to the point that they were mentally checked out all day, or because they clearly were overwhelmed and stressed by maintaining discipline, being either too lax or too strict as a result.
Perhaps the most tangible benefit meditation could have in schools would be with introducing meditation practice to kids, teaching them to spend a few minutes calmly observing their own thoughts and emotions in a purely secular way. It's widely accepted that children need physical exercise scheduled into their day in the form of P.E. Why not contemplative practice, too? Meditation could be a unit in gym class, just like volleyball and ballroom dancing. (Yes, we actually had to pair off and practice ballroom dancing under the basketball hoops in middle school. Oh, the horror.)
How would you feel if meditation were added to your child's curriculum in some way?

Hey sports fans, it just got easier to protect yourself from sunburn – and worse – at the ballpark.
Sunscreen stations have been installed at Werner Park in Papillion, giving Omaha Storm Chasers fans a chance to smooth on some SPF 30 before the first pitch. Here's the rub – you need to reapply sunscreen after a few innings, too.
Many fans apply sunscreen before coming to the ballpark, but they tend to forget that it wears off, says Amber Leed Kelly, community outreach coordinator for the Alegent Health Cancer Center.
"A game can last three to four hours, and if you're sitting in the sun and sweating, you need to reapply every hour and a half," said Leed-Kelly. "Even during an evening game, there can be very little shade. While you sit there, you need to reapply, reapply, reapply."
Skin cancer is the one of the most preventable forms of cancer in the United States, says Amy Robinson, PA-C, a physician assistant with Alegent Health Clinic Dermatology.
"We are trying to raise awareness that skin cancer is so prevalent that you need to take precautions," said Robinson. "This includes using sunscreen, especially during peak hours for sun exposure, and getting into the shade."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration plans to release new guidelines next spring for sunscreen packaging that include using labeling terms like water-resistant instead of waterproof, said Robinson.
When it comes to their children, parents do a great job of covering the tykes with sunscreen when they get to the game, said Leed-Kelly. With a sunscreen station now located near the Kids Zone, parents can reapply sunscreen now for their children and themselves.
"For the most part, I see that parents try to do better for their children than they did for themselves," said Robinson. "Adults see the damage that sun has caused them, and they try to instill in their children the understanding that this is preventable."
This effort to promote sun-safety behaviors to the Omaha Storm Chasers fans, ball players and staff was funded by a $10,000 Nebraska Cancer Coalition grant. Alegent Health is also working with the American Cancer Society and Alegent Health Clinic Dermatology on the effort.
Alegent Health will survey fans again at the end of the season to learn how many adopted sun-safe behaviors at the ballpark: wearing long-sleeved shirts, sunglasses and hats; staying in the shade; and, of course, reapplying sunscreen.
Other minor league ballparks in Florida and Iowa are also doing skin cancer prevention programs this season, said Leed-Kelly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is driving home the need to reapply sunscreen in all sun-drenched settings, having heavily researched evidence-based practices for sunscreen use at swimming pools and national parks.
"A change is easier when your entire environment supports it, so we need to look for changes in policy, environment and systems to support the sun-safety behavior change, said Leed-Kelly.
As always, prevention and early detection of skin cancer is critical. AHC Dermatology often holds free skin cancer screenings – ranging from answering concerns about a specific area to complete skin checks – in the community, noted Robinson.
"We help people become more aware of what is on their body, and most want to know if it is normal or not," said Robinson. "If we suspect skin cancer, we encourage them to go to a dermatologist and get it treated."
Sign up for the next free skin cancer screening on Saturday, Sept. 15, during the Alegent Health Immanuel Medical Center Health Fair.

01/31/2010, Salt Lake City, UT
Well, we're in the U.S. now. We made it! After long flights, connections, and car rides, we're in SLC, Utah. I'm sorry that I haven't been keeping up with my blog lately, but that's how things go, I guess.
Anyhow, Salt Lake City reminds me of Istanbul -- cold and snowy (we got 2" this morning (it's all melted)). But the air here is terrible. If you've ever been to Los Angeles... (The first four of the top five cities with the worst air pollution are in Utah. Salt Lake City's #1. The last city is not even in California.) But the recent snow-storm hopefully will have cleared it out.
It's been fun seeing all of our family on my mom's side. Hopefully we'll continue to have fun! :-)
01/28/2010, Seattle, WA
Well, we made it!! It was a hugely long flight (actually I thought that it was quite short for its length) and we are still very tired. We woke up at 5:30 a.m. this morning (about 3:30 p.m. Istanbul time)!!
But we are flying out to SLC in a couple of hours. (By 'we' I mean me and my mom.) So that should be fun. That's when the vaction starts. Right now we're just trying to get to the vacation! :-)
Ok, see my dad's blog for more updates.
01/09/2010, Marmar is Turkey
Well, tonight's the big night!!!! My dad (not me) has acquired free tickets from Yat Marin office to the kick-boxing match tonight. So he's going, but I am staying firmly planted here on the boat.
Nothing's been happening lately. It's just the old routine of waking up in the morning, getting out of bed, going out of the cabin door, coming into the salon, etc. etc. Pretty boring.
Anyhow, we'll be back in America on Jan. 27 (the 28th actually as we will be arriving late on the 27th).
01/05/2010, Marmarmarmarmarmarmaris, Turkey
Well, I am so sorry that I haven't been able to blog, but here goes...
For an update on what has happened, we've been to Rhodes and not done anything else. Okay, I guess we have done other stuff, like going to movie night and going to the quiz's, on the Sunday's and Monday's of the week, but other than that, thing have been pretty quiet. But, I guess that's what comes with living in a marina. You don't have to worry about you motor cover getting blown off, your dinghy stolen, the sky falling -- life's a lot better.
As for the excruciating boring-ness of this escapade, I feel like now that school's back in, all I do is school, piano, school, and piano. But, to see the sunny side of things, I am getting better at piano (I won't say anything about school:-)).
In Turkish:
Iyi, yazıklanan ki görünüm blog, ama burada giderse ...
*ünkü bir güncelleme ne oldu, tartıžmamıza Rodos'a ve žey. bažka. Okay, sanırım yaptık diľer düdüklerini gibi, için film gece ve giden quiz ve , Pazar ve Pazartesi günkü hafta, ama bažka bir žey, da oldukça sakin. Ancak, sanırım bu ne geldiľinde'da yažayan bir marina. Siz de hakkında endiže you motor kapak havaya alan, your dıžtan çalıntı, gökyüzü düžen -- life'nın lut iyi.
Olan acı veren bıktıran - ness bu kaçamaľı, gidemeyeceľim gibi artık okulu'nun geri, tüm BEN bir okul, piyano, okul, ve piyano. Ancak, bakalım güneç žey, elime daha iyi piyano (küçümsendiľimiz oldu ama evet her žey okul hakkında:-)).

To continue the 'What??!!! Another storm!!!' saga...
Well, to make a long explanation short, we're getting another storm. This time, from the west. But, thankfully, we are still nestled in Yat Marin. I hope we will be able to ride this one out like we did. I was commenting today, that the time between each storm is just enough to let you fix all the stuff that broke in the last storm!!
Nothing new has happened around here. My dad went to town today and picked up a second-hand 220V battery charger, so we will install that tomorrow (weather permitting). But, other than that, nothing to report.
We haven't had any waffles, but I still try to fill all of the holes with syrup!!!

12/13/2009, Marmaris, Turkey
Sorry for the delay in blogs. I just haven't been able to get on the computer until now. (And even now I am being pressed to get off quickly.)
We are, right now, in a marina (to be specific, Marmaris Yat Marin)(as you might have noticed from the title). The reason for this is...
The following has not been matched to correct records, although it is presumed to be correct:
We left the beach in front of Marmaris (not the one near Yacht Marine) and move to the beach in front of the Yacht Marine. Once there, we decided to 'tree tie' (meaning tying up to a tree on shore) because we assumed that that would be the best way to weather to the approaching storm and also because we hadn't tried that yet.
Well, to make a long story short, our boat-tree line broke and we were dashed up onto a lee shore [the wind blew us on to the shore]. We quickly got out our 300' of sea-anchor line. My dad pulled himself to shore in the dinghy on our 2nd line and tied off the new line. Then followed about 10 minutes of checking the depthometer and winching in the new line. But, we were safe.
But we weren't out of the woods yet! (I think) we released the tree lines and went to Netsel Marina to fill up with fuel. Then we went in front of the main town and anchored off as we did some shopping. It was a productive day.
Sorry, but I got lost in the details for a moment. Anyway, as I was saying, we weren't out of the woods yet. The next day we moved anchor back to Yacht Marine to await yet another storm. You can go to my dad's blog for more details (he saw it), but I will tell you what I gathered from the snippets of information I picked up.
At around 10 or 10:30, my dad woke up to a bright flash of light. He scrambled out of bed and looked around. Th source of the light was our neighboring boat, Hydrus. They had heard chain grinding against their anchor and had tried to alert us to that. Well, they were successful. :-) Anyhow, they started to drag anchor. But soon they stopped probably because they had reached the point where they started to use our anchor instead of theirs.
Anyhow, in the morning, John (on Hydrus) comes over and tells us to pull up our anchor to detangle it from theirs. We pulled our anchor up successfully. We wondered what was going on a Hydrus, if we weren't tangled up in each other.
Well, apparently Hydrus' anchor had caught on a mooring chain that was attached to two concrete blocks. The blocks had come loose, and that's why they drug. But, later today, John said that he had to put a winch into his anchor windlass [a tool used to pull anchors up from the sea floor] to help his chain up, the load was so heavy. When he got the anchor into an area where he could see it, he saw that the chain with the two blocks of concrete on the ends was so corroded that the concrete blocks stuck out on each side, like lifting weights!!! (Normally the blocks would smash together instead of sticking straight out.)
After that ordeal, my dad got fed up with anchoring, and went into the Yacht Marine. That is where we are now, and that is where we will stay for the next 3 months.

Bidisha, chair of Go Feminist 2012
10:00/ Keynote: why feminism?
10:35/ Plenary - Women and economics [with parallel workshop sessions]
As the recession bites, women are at the forefront of the hardest and sharpest cuts. Although all women are experiencing the impact of current economic policy, some women are experiencing this disproportionately. Panellists will voice some of the unheard voices and experiences of women's economic exclusion.
> Mary-Ann Stepehnson, Coventry Women's Budget Group
> Reineira Arguello, Womankind
> Helendi, WAST London
> Christel Querton, Asylum Aid
12:15/ Connecting movements <> Sharing ideas for action
This panel is the centerpiece of the conference. Broadening our analysis to include forms of oppressions in addition to patriarchy and focusing on the most forgotten, vulnerable and marginalised gives a better chance of capturing all women. We need to make the links between feminism and other movements.
> Catherine Donovan , University of Sunderland
> Sofia Kahlu and others, Women Asylum Seekers Together (WAST)
> Breish Rowe, Triangle deaf feminists group
> Rahila Gupta
> Mary
13:00/ Lunch break - Arts workshop / Spoken word / Singing / Stalls / Breakout groups to discuss action ideas
14:30/ Plenary - Sexism in popular culture [with parallel workshop sessions]
Women are visible within popular culture but are only represented in certain ways. From women in sport and film to trans and working class women, representations within media and popular discourse is limited at best, focusing on their bodies and perpetuating stereotypes rather than looking at realities and achievements.
> Pratibha Pramar, Kali Films

> Paris Lees, Trans Media Watch
16.00/ Break
16.30/ Plenary – Women's activism: past, present and future [with parallel workshop sessions]

Hi ladies,
I am looking for any advice/suggestions on ways to get my DD down to bed with less of a struggle! For about 3 months now bedtime has been a battle in our home. We have a consistent routine that we stick with each night, since DD is certainly a stickler for consistency. We aim to get her into bed at 7:30pm. One of us takes her into her room around then, rocks and sings to her, says prayers, and tucks her in. Then said parent (typically me!) sits right outside the door, where she can see us, for about 10 min, before closing the door most of the way (to prevent her from hearing those who are still awake- she is a pretty light sleeper) and leaving. One of two things will almost always happen: she will either come running and screaming out of her room and after said parent, or she will stay quiet for about 10-15 min. and then start crying. We do let her CIO for about 5 min. to see if she can settle herself back down. I know 5 min. doesn't sound long enough, but if she is going to settle back down that's all the time she needs, not to mention the fact that we have a 7 month old who still wakes up 2 times per night and needs his sleep.
DD does have a nightlight in her room as well as some lovies and a blankie. She also naps each afternoon for about 45 min. Perhaps it is time to cut out the beloved nap? Does anyone have any suggestions/advice/insight? The loss of sleep is really starting to wear both DH and I down. Any advice is welcomed and appreciated!

Eerie First Teaser For Cabbie Thriller ABDULLAH
UK-based Ne'er Do Well Films and sometime Twitch contributor Evrim Ersoy are already making waves on the festival circuit, with 2012's Tokophobia in particular proving a shocking and memorable addition to FrightFest's short film programme that year.
Writer/director Ersoy reteams with cinematographer Stephen Murphy and producers James Pearcey and Russell Would for his latest effort, Abdullah, a noirish urban nightmare that follows an increasingly alienated Turkish cabbie as he works the bustling, culturally-diverse streets of present day London.
It's an excellent little film that should be popping up at a host of film festivals around the world in the coming months, but Twitch can now give you a taste of what's to come with a first look at the film's teaser trailer. Check it out below.

The question for OSU: Who will replace Andrea Riley?
Kurt Budke is in lockdown this week. Football mentality. Bar the door. Lift the gates. Don't let anyone know what you're doing. Budke is trying to use whatever advantage he's got with his Oklahoma State Cowgirls in the NCAA Tournament. Because he certainly has a huge disadvantage. OSU will play Chattanooga in Tempe, Ariz., in the NCAA's first round, and the Cowgirls will play without superstar point guard Andrea Riley, who is sitting out a one-game NCAA suspension for hitting an opposing player two years ago. And there's no telling what OSU will do without Riley, because for four years, she's carried the Cowgirls. The scoring. The passing. The dribbling. When OSU has the ball, Riley is dribbling the ball 90 percent of the time. She rarely rests. She played all 40 minutes of all three State games in the Big 12 Tournament last week. Who has any idea what the Cowgirls do without Riley? How they will respond or even who will replace her? "I've got a little idea," Budke said, but he's not saying. The Cowgirls' backup point guards are senior Ally Clardy and freshman Desiree Jeffries. Clardy has averaged 8.8 minutes a game, though most of that was playing alongside Riley. Jeffries has played just 76 minutes all season. "We've got an opportunity to pull out a whole new game plan," Budke said. "We've talked about it as coaches already. (Chattanooga) can get all the film they want. It's not going to matter, is it?" Our only clue on OSU's fate is the second half of the Texas A&M game in Stillwater, after Budke benched Riley for an undisclosed locker room situation. Clardy and Jeffries both played 12 minutes total that night. Both had two turnovers. Clardy didn't score. Jeffries had three points and two assists. But remarkably enough, OSU outscored A&M 28-27 in the second half, after trailing 42-24 at halftime. Players can do some strange things when thrust into the spotlight. Who knew Jamelle Holieway, as different in every possible way from Troy Aikman, could lead Oklahoma to a national title after taking over in mid-season? Who knew UCLA's men could win the 1995 NCAA title game with backup point guard Cameron Dollar relieving the injured Tyus Edney? Who knew halfback Tom Matte could move to quarterback and lead the '64 Colts to victory over the Rams and into the playoffs, after Johnny Unitas and Gary Cuozzo were injured? "I've got confidence in my teammates," Riley said. "I'm going to have so much faith and believe that they're going to win the game." We'll see. It's one thing to not know what's going to happen. It's quite another to not even know who's trying to make it happen. Berry Tramel: 405-760-8080; Berry Tramel can be heard Monday through Friday from 4:40-5:20 p.m. on The Sports Animal radio network, including AM-640 and FM-98.1.

Spartacus (2)
Gladiators on a relief from the
first century BCE (Glyptothek,
leader of an army of runaway slaves that shook Italy in 73-71 BCE. He was
defeated by the Roman general Crassus.
This is the second part of an article; the first one can be found here.
According to Appian of Alexandria, Spartacus had used the winter to manufacture weapons. His army must have controlled the countryside of the entire Campania. It was his plan to cross the Apennines and move to the north, where his people could return to their homelands in Gaul, Germania, or the Balkans. It would be difficult to lead 70,000 people out of Italy, and it was necessary to march in separated columns.
This offered an opportunity to the Romans. In the spring of 72, consul Lucius Gellius Publicola unexpectedly attacked a division that is called "the German contingent" by Plutarch of Chaeronea, and "the force of Crixus" by Appian. The latter states that Crixus lost two-thirds of his 3,000 men in a battle, which took place in the neighborhood of modern Foggia. At the same time, consul Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus Clodianus intercepted the main force of Spartacus' army somewhere in the Apennines. It was his task to wait for his colleague, so that their enemy would be under attack from two sides. But Spartacus defeated both armies separately, took their equipment, and continued his march to the Adriatic Sea.
At this point, there is a remarkable difference between the accounts of Plutarch and Appian. Plutarch tells how Spartacus "pushed on towards the Alps", Appian adds another detail.
In the aftermath the consuls retreated in confusion, while Spartacus, first sacrificing 300 Roman prisoners to Crixus, made for Rome with 120,000 foot soldiers after burning the useless equipment and putting all the prisoners to death and slaughtering the draught animals to free himself of all encumbrances.It is likely that Plutarch ignored this cruel story because it did not suit in his description of Spartacus as "intelligent and cultured, being more like a Greek than a Thracian". The story is also told by Publius Annius Florus (and, in a slightly different form, the Christian author Orosius):
He also celebrated the obsequies of his officers who had fallen in battle with funerals like those of Roman generals, and ordered his captives to fight at their pyres, just as though he wished to wipe out all his past dishonor by having become, instead of a gladiator, a giver of gladiatorial shows.The two consuls were not defeated yet. They marched their armies back to Rome, briefly pursued by Spartacus, who may have wanted to create panic. But it was not his intention to march on Rome, and he brought his army to the Adriatic, continuing his march to the Alps. The consuls understood what was going on and the legions marched to the Adriatic as well. There were several excellent roads, and they arrived there first. Somewhere south of Ancona, the two armies fought again, and again Spartacus was victorious.
The gladiators and slaves now could escape, but there was one last obstacle: the army of Gallia Cisalpina, the Roman province along the river Po. At Modena, governor Gaius Cassius Longinus and his provincial army were defeated.
And now, something strange happened. Spartacus had reached his aim: his people could cross the Alps and go back to their homelands in Gaul, Germany, and the Balkans. And yet, this is not what happened. Instead, the enormous army turned south. Plutarch offers a lame excuse:
Spartacus' view was that they should cross the mountains and then disperse to their own homes [...]. His men, however, would not listen to him. They were strong in numbers and full of confidence, and they went about Italy ravaging everything in their way.This is not incredible. In this age, the Roman legions were armies of pillager: the Social War, Sulla's first march on Rome, the First Mithridatic War, the first Civil War, and the conflicts after the death of Sulla all had resulted in terrible looting. The slaves simply did what the Romans did. However, it is likely that some refugees did not join this march, and did in fact cross the Alps and return to their homes.
Plutarch on Spartacus
Appian on Spartacus
Florus on Spartacus
Livy, Periochae,95, 96, 97
Meanwhile, in Rome, the consuls were told to return to civilian life, and a new commander was chosen for the war: Marcus Licinius Crassus. The remains of two consular legions seem to have stayed in the neighborhood of Ancona, and Crassus ordered their commander, Mummius, to join him further to the south. He was not to make contact with the enemy. However, Mummius believed that he saw a good opportunity, offered battle and was defeated. Crassus was angry, and punished the defeated soldiers harshly. They were to be decimated: every tenth soldier was to be killed by his comrades. The result was that the Roman soldiers learned that they had more to fear from their commander than from the runaways, and discipline was restored.
In the winter of 72/71, Spartacus arrived in Bruttium, the "toe" of Italy, and captured Thurii. (It was the only time he settled his people in a town.) This time, his intention was to conquer Sicily. There had been several major rebellions of slaves on the island: between 135 and 132, a Syrian slave named Eunus had ruled as a king, and more recently, in 104, a certain Salvius had been able to do the same, calling himself Tryphon. When he had died, his revolt had been continued by a man named Athenio; it had lasted until 101.
Spartacus may have had the same plan, or an even better one, because he collaborated with the Cilician pirates. To them, a base on Sicily would be a great asset, because the Romans had not much naval experience and the Cilicians could loot and plunder the Italian coast without meeting opposition.
But apparently, something went wrong, because the Cilicians did not appear. Who did appear, was Crassus, and he ordered his men to build a large wall across Bruttium, from the Tyrrhenian to the Ionian Sea. It was sixty kilometers long, but his army consisted of eight legions or 32,000 men, and the job was done quickly. Spartacus was trapped.
A first attack of the gladiators was repulsed without difficulty: the Romans lost three men and killed 6,000 enemies (or so it was said). Now Spartacus decided upon smaller actions, and did his best to improve morale.
He crucified a Roman prisoner in no-man's land to demonstrate to his own troops the fate awaiting them if they were defeated.
|At first, Crassus was not in a hurry to attack the gladiators. They
were trapped and it was winter, so that their supplies would run out. In
the spring, he would attack the hungry runaways. However, the Senate
felt that this was not an honorable way to conduct a war, and they called
upon Pompey, the Roman general who had been fighting in Hispania and had
just concluded the war. This forced Crassus into action. He was lucky,
because Spartacus decided upon an attack, and although he managed to break
through Crassus' lines, he had only one third of his men with him. The
remaining two thirds were an easy target for the legions. Even better still,
the gladiators who had broken through the Roman lines, were divided, and
Crassus could inflict serious losses on one of the groups. However, Spartacus
appeared just in time to prevent the annihilation of this contingent.
From now on, the Romans were superior in numbers. Crassus attacked Spartacus in a full-scale battle. After the defeats of the consular armies, this seemed a dangerous course and fighting was tense. The gladiators knew that they had to win or die, and fought bravely. After all, the death on the battlefield was preferable to crucifixion. But they were defeated. According to Crassus' body-count, 12,300 were killed, and only two of them were wounded in the back. (In the Periochae of Livy's History, the number is given as 60,000.)
Spartacus now moved to the "toe" of Italy again, to Petelia. He was hunted down by the Romans, but the gladiators were able to defeat two of Crassus' lieutenants, Quintus Marcius Rufus and Gnaeus Tremellius Scrofa. This was their last victory. According to Plutarch
this success turned out to be the undoing of Spartacus, since it filled his slaves with over-confidence. They refused any longer to avoid battle and would not even obey their officers. Instead they surrounded them with arms in their hands as soon as they began to march and forced them to lead them back through Lucania against the Romans.It is likely that the gladiators were not over-confident, but simply wanted one single battle, and find a glorious and quick death.
Crassus was only too willing to offer battle, and camped close by the enemy. He can not really have been surprised when the gladiators suddenly appeared and attacked his army. Fighting was heavy again, but the outcome was never in doubt. The remaining 35,000 rebels were defeated and the Romans recovered five legionary eagle-standards, twenty-six other standards, and five fasces. Spartacus' body was never found.
This was the end of the war. There were still many fugitives in the mountains of Bruttium, and they organized themselves into four groups. This is the ultimate tribute to Spartacus' genius as an organizer: even after his death, his men were able to continue a disciplined struggle. However, they were eventually defeated, some by Pompey, others by Crassus.
Six thousand gladiators were captured alive. They were crucified along the Via Appia, the road between Rome and Capua. For years, travelers were forced to see the crosses: every thirty, forty meters, they saw how a body of a former slaves was rotting away, a prey for the vultures and dogs.
All ancient sources show Spartacus as a criminal and bandit, even worse than the other arch-enemy of Rome, Hannibal. (The exception is Varro, who states that Spartacus was innocently condemned to the arena.) This black image remained unchallenged in the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
However, in 1760, the French tragedy Spartacus by Bernard-Joseph Saurin presented him as a noble hero. This play, which was based on the story of Plutarch, is the origin of the modern, positive image of the slave leader. Karl Marx, after reading Appian, was equally impressed by the Thracian gladiator. Since then, Spartacus has often been used as a symbol of emancipation: of the poor, of repressed nationalities (e.g., Bulgaria), and of the working class - especially in the Communist countries during the Cold War. After Kirk Douglas' heroic nudity in Stanley Kubrick's sentimental movie Spartacus (1960), the gladiator became a symbol of the emancipation of male homosexuals.

I need the credits for when I go all-in betting for Nebraska to win outright against ISU.
Anyway, this thread is all about the reality check this is for us. Since the Texas Tech game, this forum was full of nothing but postings about how absolutely incredibly awesome our football team had become. Heck, the Top 25 was just around the corner for us. We were SURE for a Bowl game, just a matter of which one. Now maybe people can think more realistically for a change.
We need to go recruit speed.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Why do you say "us?" This is Cyclone Fanatic and I don't think I've ever seen you post anything not trolling.
Yeah, we are not good. I am ****** off.
it's really amazing that we still think that a game like last week's is anything more than a fluke.
really unbelievable how unprepared we must have been to give up 68 points (and that is actually conservative, because Utah could have scored a LOT more.)
too many ***********
Don't confuse hope for a plan.
First of all, most people on this board don't think realistically. Second, I still think we can go to a bowl. We just ran into a top 10 team that was clicking on all cylinders and we were not. There is some talent on this ISU team. Just nowhere near the amount that the Utes have.

I'm pretty confident speed is a priority for all teams. I doubt CPR is looking for uncoordinated slow moving athletes.
I didnt call us world beaters after the Tech win.
We are good, not great. We have some really good players at certain positions, and are weak in others. We have some young players who will make great contributions before they're done. Utah is a very, very good team, and they played like it tonight.
Seems like the same people talking bowl games last weekend will be saying we suck tonight. With this schedule. a .500 record for Coach Rhoads and this team will be a great accomplishment, and whether fans quit on them or not, this team will not quit. We'll have some great moments before this year is over.
I said 3 or 4 wins this season so that's about right. I knew we'd be lucky to win one game in October.

I concur, they were freaking big and fast, and did what they wanted to against us.

I was 9 rows from the field and their D-Line looked small to me but they all looked fast.
At the end of the first quarter, I was happy to have a lead.
At the end of the second quarter, I was furious.
By the third quarter, I reached the Chizik-era level of disappointment.
I haven't been this frustrated by our team since the UNLV loss in 08. Maybe even Toledo 07.
It's just one game. Football can change in a week. The Tech game was a big win, they beat Baylor today. Look at KU, beat GT who's only other loss this year is to NC State then a couple weeks later get drilled by 50+ to Baylor. You just can't predict football.

Why settle for one site when you can get a whole pack of them? On Pack Of Porn that is exactly what you get. To be more specific, you get 14 sites. One of them, Seventeen Live, is a live cam site, so its content wasn't included in our count (you can find it in the "bonus sites" section along with sample access to other sites). Let me give you a quick rundown of how the site works.
When you sign in, you are going to be presented with the latest updates from across the network. There are some dropdown menus at the top of the page to help you filter by site, niche and model and these are helpful if you're looking for something specific, like big cocks, large boobs, creampies, facials, gangbangs, etc.
If you prefer to just take your time and browse, clicking on the "more updates" link at the bottom of the page shows you the entire collection. Each scene is represented by a thumbnail and you will also get the date it was added, its title and the name of the site from which it was taken. You can save all your favorites and rate the content.
While hardcore sex is the name of the porn game here, you will still find variety. For example, Holey Fuck is a bathroom gloryhole site, while Anal Stretched is obviously an anal-sex site. Anal Slurp takes the anal drilling a step further by having one chick slurp the cum out of the other woman's butthole. Creamed On Glasses has guys dropping their loads on four-eyed faces and Old Farts Young Tarts brings together very hot, horny coeds and very lucky senior citizens.
Unfortunately, nothing new has been added anywhere in the network since November 2013, but at least you will currently find 1,4932 videos to get off to. There are lots of good and even excellent-quality movies and there are some in HD. You can download the flicks in a Windows Media format and you can often stream them in a Silverlight player too. Most of the vids offer both a full-length version and clips, while some only have clips.
As for the photos, not all the scenes on UK Roadtrips (a fun reality site where dudes hit the road and pick up hot chicks along the way) have an equal number of videos and picture sets and none of the scenes on Jerk And Slurp (a handjob/blowjob site) come with picture sets, so you can expect about 1,301 sets of pictures. While every site has its own theme, there is one particular guy who appears in many of them throughout the network.
The sites are all produced in the Czech Republic, so you are getting a lot of broken English - and some damn fine ladies! Even though it's no longer adding new content, Pack Of Porn is a good networkoverall and worth checking out for all its hardcore action.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 50% Date: 08/06/2010
PRO- Exclusive content, especially videos of females rimjobbing males, and males pissing on females. This exclusive content is increasingly difficult to find and is the reason I joined the site. Mostly Czech/Euro models, majority english speaking. Very good looking.
CON- I rated it as a 50/100 because all sites in Pack of Porn are terribly slow for downloading. I found that you can only download 2 videos at a time, and, you cannot browse the site while you are downloading the videos. If you try to browse the site while downloading, the page shows up as blank and you get a "loading" message. It will take a long time to download the videos.
Score: 10% Date: 04/17/2010
Videos are OK, but site is horribly slow and have the pages don't even load.

Everyone has bad habits. But some other under-the-radar tendencies can end up sabotaging your financial health, and you may not even realize it.
1. You shop with friends
Shopaholics are typically portrayed by women in popular culture. But at least in one respect, men can out-shop women. A 2011 study, "The Influence of Friends on Consumer Spending," found that men spend more when they're accompanied by a friend than when they're alone, and the effect wasn't the same for women. Men focus on status and "engage in self-promotion through increased spending while shopping with friends" – in other words, they tend to show off – whereas women are "communion-oriented," meaning they aim for cooperation and harmony, "leading them to keep their spending under control in the presence of a friend."
2. You fall for complicated cellphone contracts
The problem: Many people underestimate how much data they'll use and end up exceeding their plan limit, while others overestimate their future usage and pay for minutes they never use.
3. You've got a credit mindset
Studies going back to 2001 have shown that consumers spend more when using credit cards compared to buying with cash. Time after time they show that people are more comfortable paying more for something when they can charge it.
4. You have multiple bank accounts
Experts say it makes it seem like you've got more funds available than you actually do. Having a single account – and one number reflecting your total wealth – makes it harder to justify your spending.
5. You divide your money into buckets
People tend to separate their money into categories, often based on where the money came from and what its intended use is – this much is for the house, this much for the kids' college tuition, this much for movies, etc. In behavioral finance parlance, this is called mental accounting – and can make us act irrationally.

Given global concerns over what is called base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS), finance minister Arun Jaitley will be pleased to know, an IMF study of spillovers in international corporate taxation seems to endorse a lot of what the government is doing. So, while not talking of the retrospective nature of taxes introduced when Pranab Mukherjee was the finance minister, the report says developing countries need to guard against companies selling the underlying Indian assets in tax-light countries to avoid paying the Indian government its duein other words, India was right to change some of its laws; it is the retrospective nature that caused a problem. And though the report does not specifically acknowledge it, Indias solution to BEPS is probably the minimum alternative tax (MAT). The report points to interesting methods being used by companies to avoid paying taxesfund large infrastructure projects through debt to lower tax outgo, for instance. All of which means that, apart from being an active participant in all international tax discussions, India needs to begin relooking several of its tax treatieswith Mauritius for instanceas well as build more expertise in areas like transfer pricing. For the latter, the argument is not that transfer pricing adjustments should not be made, only that the taxman must do his homework well.
That said, the report makes some other points that are worth keeping in mind. One, a 10 percentage points cut in corporate tax rates, can increase the FDI stock in country by around 30% in the long run. While that is one of the reasons behind the Chinese FDI surge, it is worth keeping in mind, as FE columnist Surjit S Bhalla pointed out last fortnight, at 30%, Indias effective corporate tax levels are among the highest in the worldthe figure is 23% in the US and 21% for much of Europe. The second big finding flows from the first, a 1 percentage point cut in tax rates in other countries reduces a countrys corporate tax base by 3.7%over the decade, the report says, corporate tax rates have fallen 5 percentage points. In other words, Jaitleys budget needs to be looking at ways to cut corporate tax rates while looking at measures to catch BEPS by MNCs and others.

Muskego - The fact that the football team returned no starters in the 2012 season has been well documented.
The Warriors, though, while lacking in varsity experience, were never short of talent or heart.
They showed that by posting a winning record in the Classic 8 Conference, which ultimately produced two WIAA state champions in Hartland Arrowhead and Catholic Memorial.
They also displayed that by reaching the WIAA playoffs and nearly knocking off Lake Geneva Badger, which then went on a run that finally ended in the state semifinals.
Among their key players were three seniors - David Kucharski, Tyler Thomka and Gerard Barr - who not only shone on the field but provided valuable leadership.
Kucharski stepped into the shoes of the graduated Jordan Gruettner, serving in a variety of areas, such as running back, linebacker, placekicker, kick returner and punter, where he averaged over 40 yards per kick and continually gave the Warriors good field position.
Thomka was a defensive standout in the backfield, coming up with eight interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns.
Barr keyed a powerful offensive line that helped the Warriors lead the Classic 8 in rushing at 270 yards per contest.
For their efforts, Kucharski, Thomka and Barr all earned spots on the 2012 NOW Newspapers All-Suburban Team, with Kucharski at punter, Thomka at defensive back and Barr at offensive guard.
Kucharski experienced the most diverse year of any of the three, playing five positions and doing well at all of them.
He had a good teacher in Gruettner, who was the NOW Newspapers Player of the Year in 2011.
"I watched what he had done last year," Kucharski said. "It really helped me to work alongside Jordan. He was the guy I was looking to be like."
Head coach Ken Krause said Kucharski learned his lessons well.
"As punter, he was a weapon for our field position, and he was voted our special teams MVP by our team," Krause said. "Jordan was first-team all-state last year, and David is almost as good as Jordan."
Kucharski enjoyed his punting contributions.
"We would be around (our own) 30-yard line, and I could get the ball past the opponent's 30, or further," he said. "This was my best year as a punter. I have been punting since seventh grade, but not the last few years, because I was behind a guy named Gruettner."
Kucharski also plays rugby, and he said the kicking action in that game helps him with his punting. He is a standout in rugby as well, as he will try out for the United States team in late December in Arizona.
Thomka also has plenty of experience at defensive back, having played the position since the Junior Warriors program.
He played running back as well, and had some big games there - notably in the playoff loss to Badger - but he really likes being in the defensive backfield.
"I can use my footspeed, and I am naturally a go-for-the-ball type of person," he said. "Also, there is no better feeling than scoring off an interception."
"He is one of the best defensive backs I have coached in my 16 years," Krause said. "He seemed to make his best plays when the pressure was at its highest. Our players voted him team MVP on defense and our overall MVP."
Like Kucharski and Thomka, Barr is a football veteran.
"I've been playing since fifth grade on the Junior Warriors," he said, "although I made my first varsity start this season."
Barr knew the Warriors' offensive line would be strong.
"(Tackle Bryce) Butenhof has always been good," Barr said. "(Guard) Adam Boniface really stepped up and (tackle Kurt) Olson made his first start ever this season - he had not started on freshman, junior varsity or varsity - but really came through."
Krause said Barr was his best lineman.
"In my 16 years, he is one of the top guards I have ever coached," Krause said. "He is a perfect wing-T guard, the way he pulls."
All three players helped Muskego post a winning record despite the team's drawbacks heading into the campaign.
"People told us (before the season) that we would be bad this year," Kucharski said, "but no one wanted that. (After the Warriors started 1-3) coach got the seniors together and said it was up to us as to how we would finish the season."
Thomka said the team wanted to keep its playoff hopes alive.
"It was just a matter of believing," he said.
That, and the talent and drive supplied by Kucharski, Thomka and Barr this season.
