Hooper inspires Hoops
Gary Hooper's double helped Celtic go 17 points clear of administration-hit Rangers at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League as Neil Lennon's men hammered Hibernian 5-0 at Easter Road.
Goals from Anthony Stokes and the former Scunthorpe striker gave the impressive visitors a commanding interval lead.
Hoops defender Charlie Mulgrew fired in a free-kick just after the break and Hooper grabbed his second before substitute Ki Sung-yueng, on for Victor Wanyama, made it five to extend the Parkhead side's winning domestic run to 18 games.

Curriculum & Resources: Green Jobs and Green Buildings
Read the newsletter: Great Lessons on Green Schools and Low Impact Living
Lesson plans, hands-on activities, and award-winning projects on green building and economies will demonstrate to your students that there's a better, sustainable, and just future that they can help build, shape, and design.
:: Ella Baker Center
:: U.S. Green Building Council
Ella Baker Center
Creating cities that work for people and with nature is a challenge being taken on by communities all over the world. The "Model Cities & You" lesson plan spotlights model "green" cities–cities, such as Cruitba, Brazil, designed for both environmental and social health. Your students will learn about characteristics and accomplishments of green cities, and, perhaps, be inspired to help your city achieve this distinguished status.
Visit for the complete set of lesson plans.
Lesson One: Exploring Eco-Privilege
Thanks to the growing green economy, many people now have access to products and services for sustainable lifestyles. But many more do not. And often, those who enjoy such access do not realize that it is a privilege—a privilege denied to many others across the country.
In this activity, students use a self-assessment tool to examine if, and in what areas, they benefit from eco-privilege.
Lesson Two: Model Cities and You
Creating cities that work for people and with nature is a challenge being taken on by communities all over the world. Cities from Curitiba, Brazil to Oakland, California are trying to become "Model Green Cities"—cities designed for both environmental and social health.
Each student group is assigned a "green city" that is taking a lead in environmental and social sustainability. After researching the characteristics and accomplishments of this city, each group makes a class presentation.
The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights is a strategy and action center working for justice, opportunity and peace in urban America, with an emphasis on positive alternatives to violence and incarceration. Justice, peace, and opportunity are the beacons that guide the work of this tenacious and innovative Oakland-based nonprofit and the base of its four campaigns: Books Not Bars, Green-Collar Jobs, Soul of the City, and Heal the Streets.
U.S. Green Building Council
The U.S. Green Building Council uses the built environment to bring sustainability education to your classroom. Award-winning curricula and projects on green building from teachers—secondary through university—are spotlighted. Also offered are teaching tools on green schools and the LEED rating system.
Green Building
Why green schools? The U.S. Green Building Council provides information and incentive for your students to explore this question. Learn why green schools save energy and use less water, and are healthy places to learn and teach.

You may have heard of this term, but what does it mean? LEED is the acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The LEED® green building certification program is a voluntary, consensus-based national rating system. It addresses all building types and emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies in five areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials and resources selection, and indoor environmental quality.
(University of Texas-Austin)
Since 2003, graduate architecture students learn by doing with local affordable housing agencies to bring sustainable and affordable housing to Austin. This hands-on course begins with students going into the community to assess people and neighborhood needs and ends with the "build" phase. As the professor of this course astutely says, "Our responsibility to serve the community will be taken very seriously and will provide a pedagogical context that should challenge the traditional values of "studio culture."
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is a non-profit organization of building industry leaders dedicated to making green buildings available to everyone within a generation. USGBC is best known for development of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. It serves as a key source on LEED, and green building education and training, to industry professionals in the residential, commercial real estate, government, schools and neighborhood sectors.

LSU vs. Georgia: High-scoring SEC has fallen back to the pack
ATHENS, Ga. -- He walked into the post-game setup with head down and shoulders slumped, a defeated man if there ever was one.
His mumble was barely audible and his words were short and cutting. Then Les Miles was asked if this -- this up and down, back and forth, I'll see your big play and raise you my big play -- is the new look of a conference that prides itself on lining up and trading blows and he who bleeds most loses.
"God, I hope not," he said softly.

Welcome to the new SEC, ladies and gentlemen. Georgia's thrilling, nail-biting, gotta-get-a-stop 44-41 victory over LSU has unmistakably underscored the reality of the meatgrinder conference in 2013:
The days of kicking a field goal and winning 6-3 in overtime are over. The days of defense wins championships and it all begins up front on the defensive line and we dare you to run on us have been replaced by he who has the ball last wins.
Alabama 32, Georgia 28 in the 2012 SEC Championship Game.
Georgia 41, South Carolina 30 earlier this month.
Alabama 49, Texas A&M 42 two weeks ago.
Stop me when this sounds familiar. Stop me if you think the SEC, which for years thumped its chest and dared anyone to question its ability to eliminate all hope with suffocating defense, doesn't look more and more like the rest of college football with each passing week.
Points in bunches. Defenses scrambling to make plays and get stops. And worse: coaches and players huddled on the sidelines frantically looking for something to stop the madness -- yet powerless to do so.
The rest of college football didn't have to find a way to catch the SEC after all. The SEC has -- like it or not -- fallen back to them.
"I told our guys before we went out for that last series to forget about what happened the rest of this game," said Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham. "All that matters is this series. All that matters is if you get a stop here."

And the Bulldogs, who couldn't stop LSU the previous 57 minutes and change, got a sack on first down and then watched Tigers quarterback Zach Mettenberger misfire on three straight throws to end the game and allow everyone in this red and black cauldron to breathe again.
They jumped and screamed and did victory laps like they just won the conference championship. Stoic Georgia coach Mark Richt raced around the stadium with his hands in the air, and ran behind the Bulldogs' bench to find his wife Katharyn Francis to give her a big we-did-it kiss.
I mean, it was only Georgia's third game this season against a top 10 team. It was only Georgia's third mega matchup this year where if you're not scoring at least 40 points, you're not winning.
Want to know why Georgia lost to ACC rival Clemson in the season opener? The Dawgs couldn't score in the red zone when they had to, had to settle for a field goal and screwed the pooch on the snap and hold to end the drive with no points.
If they're successful in that red zone trip and score, guess how many points they finish with? That's right, 42.
This is your new SEC in big games that matter, everyone. Get used to it.
The stars on the field are the quarterbacks who combined to throw seven touchdown passes; the guys who roomed together four years ago when they arrived in Athens as heralded recruits. Not the Jadeveon Clowneys, Dont'a Hightowers and Nick Fairleys of the world.
The stars are the guys who were separated four years ago not by competition, but by Mettenberger running afoul of the law and getting kicked off the team. That gave Aaron Murray the starting job at Georgia, one that he has turned into a career of big numbers and SEC career records -- but not nearly enough memorable moments.
Until, that is, he got the best of Mettenberger -- the guy Richt admitted in July of 2012 "probably might have" won the starting job four years ago had he not messed up off the field. Murray had to hear that, had to roll into this, his senior season, with a career record of 1-5 vs. top 10 teams and with the reality of what could have been were it not for a tipped ball in the SEC Championship Game loss to Alabama.
You think he cares that LSU was constantly out of position in the secondary, and had several key coverage busts, including on the game-winning 25-yard touchdown pass to Justin Scott-Wesley? You think he cares that LSU cornerback Jalen Mills and linebacker Kwon Alexander blew the man-under coverage that put no one within five yards of Scott-Wesley?
Come on, he was there last December when Chris Conley inexplicably caught that tipped pass and the clock ran out and Georgia couldn't advance to humiliate Notre Dame like Alabama did. In the new SEC, it's just as much about getting a break and capitalizing on another's defensive misfortune as it is seizing the moment and winning the game.
"Those first two games were huge for us," Murray said. "If we hadn't been in those games, and played the way we did, I don't know if we could have taken the mental punches in this game. We were ready for what had to be done."
Maybe that's it. Maybe LSU simply wasn't ready to play a game in the 40s and find a way to get points on the last drive of the game. Maybe the Tigers, the SEC's gold standard on defense with Alabama the last five years, couldn't mentally grasp what the SEC has become.
"If you told me they were going to score 40-something points," said LSU linebacker Lamin Barrow, his voice trailing off ... "Man, I would have said you're crazy."
There was a time, not so long ago, when Mike Bobo's stare into nothing revealed everything. Or so we thought.
Georgia's offensive coordinator had that same look early Saturday night; those same glassy eyes, that same you've got to be kidding me stare. Only there was one key difference between this unusually cool fall night, and last December in the Georgia Dome.
Georgia won.
Minutes earlier, he had stormed into the Bulldogs' locker room and implored players to get back outside and celebrate with a delirious crowd. You don't get these kinds of wins every day in the big, bad SEC.
Or do you?
"It's the world we live in now," Bobo said. "The goal has always been to score one more point than the other guy."
No matter how you get there.
This is your new SEC, everyone. Get used to it.

I posted this question over at stackexchange, where a user informed me that it was probably more appropriate for mathoverflow. Here's to hoping that the answer is out there:
The ABC conjecture states that there are a finite number of integer triples (a,b,c) such that $\frac {\log \left( c \right)}{\log \left( \text{rad} \left( abc \right) \right)}>1+\epsilon $, where $a+b=c$ and $\epsilon > 0$.
I am however more interested in a weaker version of the ABC conjecture where the following inequality holds true: $\frac {\log \left( c \right)}{\log \left( a \: \text{rad} \left( bc \right) \right)}>1+\epsilon $. This weaker conjecture has a number of applications in music theory - specifically concerning temperament theory. For instance, it establishes a type of intuitive complexity metric on various temperaments, and then lets us bound a finite number of these temperaments underneath a given complexity. (if you are not familiar with temperament theory, you can think of these "temperaments" as z-module homomorphisms from one free abelian group to another of lower rank)
It is easy to see that this conjecture is implied by the ABC conjecture. However, I was wondering if this weaker version is already proven? And if not, what is the best approach to a proof that does not rely on ABC? I'm not very familiar with number theory so I don't know where to start.

TORONTO - A new report suggests that a growing number of older workers are taking on part-time jobs, which in turn is pushing up the unemployment rate among teenaged students.
The CIBC World Markets report says the unemployment rate for students aged 15 to 18 who are seeking part-time work has climbed to a record high of more than 20 per cent.
The report also notes that employment among those in the 15-18 age group has fallen by 22 per cent since 2007 even though the overall population in that age group has declined by only four per cent.
Although Canada's unemployment rate has recovered from its peak during the recession, the report says the number of manufacturing and government jobs has been shrinking.
This decline in the availability of quality jobs is forcing many older Canadians to take work in the retail and food service sectors — jobs that traditionally would have been reserved for students.
Story continues below slideshow
The report notes that employment in kitchen help, retail sales and cashier positions has plummeted among those under 19, but soared for other age groups, including those 25 and over.
CIBC's chief economist Avery Shenfeld says this can pose a challenge for youth from lower income households, who may need the cash from part-time work to save for their post-secondary education.
"Some might dismiss the absence of student jobs as no big deal," said Shenfeld.
"True, there's less foregone income than in the loss of full-time adult positions. But student jobs are not just about being able to splurge for designer jeans. For lower income, single-parent households, those extra dollars can be material."

Tracking automated scripts
The "checkscripts" MySQL database currently resides on the libcontent server. This database is composed (currently) of two tables: "scripts" and "ran".
The scripts table contains the following information for each cron script that we depend upon for support of our infrastructure:
- id -- an identifying number, used by each script to log in when it runs
- scriptname (name of the script)
- server on which it resides
- directory in which it exists
- cron -- the crontab specification for when it runs
- runswhen -- a textual explanation of when it runs
- doeswhat -- a textual explanation of what the script does
- succeeds -- the name of scripts which must precede this one for it to do its job properly (dependencies)
- precedes -- the name of scripts which this script must precede in order for them to do their job properly (dependencies)
The "ran" table contains the entries made by each script after it completes its task, and before it exits. It contains:
- an auto-incrementing number for the database entry
- scriptid, the number of the script, which corresponds to the id number in the scripts table
- datestamp -- added automatically at the time of the entry
- errors -- a textual description of any errors encountered by the script during its run
As described in Watching Our Backs, Once a week, a script called "checkscripts" in /srv/scripts/cya looks through the entries in the checkscripts database for the past week, and compares them with the list of entries of existing cron scripts and when they are due to run. If any scripts did NOT run, which were scheduled, or any of them logged errors, this script sends emails to notify us of problems. Of course, this script also logs in with the checkscripts database to verify that it ran, and when.
Then, a third script ("checkscriptcheck" in /srv/scripts/cya) runs to verify that the checkscripts script ran as it should. Again, this one sends us any errors, and it logs in with the checkscripts database.
If there's problems with servers going down frequently, these three scripts can reside on three different servers. This helps track down what has/hasn't been taken care of, as well as notification of servers not functioning correctly.

WATCH: Vi Ripken Kidnapping Suspect Caught on Tape
(ABERDEEN, Md.) -- Newly released surveillance video shows the man suspected of kidnapping Hall of Fame baseball player Cal Ripken Jr.'s mother last week.
Vi Ripken, 74, was abducted at gunpoint from her home northeast of Baltimore the morning of July 24, and was found unharmed, bound and gagged in her car early the next day.
A tip led police to surveillance video that shows the suspect at a nearby store during the time Ripken was missing.
The surveillance video, from a store in Anne Arundel, Md., shows a man wearing dark pants, a white shirt, and a red and black baseball cap. The man fits the police department's description of the suspect being white, tall, thin and in his 30s or 40s. Investigators have released a composite sketch of the suspect.
Police have found no motive in the kidnapping, nor any connection between the suspect and the Ripken family. The investigation is ongoing, and police are offering a $2,000 reward for any tips that lead to a conviction.
"We have no reason to believe that he's not still armed and dangerous," Police Lt. Fred Budnik said.
The Aberdeen police would not comment to ABC News about whether demands were made for Ripken's return.
Vi Ripken's son, Cal Ripken Jr., is a former infielder for the Baltimore Orioles. He played shortstop and third base for the team for 21 years, and was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in 2007. Police have not yet said whether they believe Vi Ripken's kidnapping was at all connected to her famous son.

The logo must represent a company that is reliable, accessible, non-jargon, innovative, customer centered and value for money
The type-face should be clear and simple and can incorporate the letters P-O-D but does not have to.
Our website is http://www.podfinancial.ie It is a new site but is missing a decent logo to put at the top.
Feel free to experiment with colours, a deep yellow combined with a royal blue is out of the question as the company is a tied-agent with Acorn Life and these are the colours of this company.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
Designers are free to use other colours than those on the website and it would be nice to have the logo a little more friendly.

The main Grand Theft Auto games are developed, for the most part, in Scotland. So it shouldn't surprise you too much to know that a district in GTA V — Hawick — is named after a small Scottish town. It sure surprised Hawick though.
In particular, it surprised Hawick councillor David Paterson, who the BBC reports is "absolutely disgusted" that his town is sharing its name with a fictional settlement that is in no way based on or reflective of the real place.
"I am absolutely disgusted — there is a lot of history and a lot of good things happening in the town," he said. "We have got a lot of good things planned for this coming year. It is going to destroy the good reputation of the town."
Bookmark this story, readers. So in 2019, when Hawick is a drug-addled shanty town, we can point to Paterson's prophetic comments as proof that a game set in a fictional Los Angeles destroyed the standing of a small town half a world away.

Cheat Sheet
Neuromarketing For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Neuromarketing is all over the news, but most people aren't quite sure what it really is. A working definition is key not only to understanding what all the buzz is about, but also to making use of neuromarketing in your own marketing endeavors. Traditionally, advertising effectiveness was all about a direct, conscious path from viewing an ad to making a purchase, but with neuromarketing, you can capitalize on an indirect, nonconscious path as well. Similarly, there are differences between the consumer model used for traditional marketing and what brain science tells us is actually the case: as opposed to the rational consumer model (followed by traditional marketing), neuromarketing follows an intuitive consumer model, and there are key differences between these two models.
What Is Neuromarketing?
The term neuromarketing refers to the use of modern brain science to measure the impact of marketing and advertising on consumers. For decades, marketers have sought to understand what consumers were thinking, but they've relied on traditional techniques — asking them what they thought in focus groups and surveys.
Neuromarketing techniques are based on scientific principles about how humans really think and decide, which involves brain processes that our conscious minds aren't aware of. When combined with sound experimental designs and procedures, these new techniques provide insights into consumer decisions and actions that are invisible to traditional market research methodologies.
Neuromarketing is not a new kind of marketing — it's a new way to study marketing, so it's part of the field of market research. Here are six major areas where neuromarketing is being used today:
Branding: Brands are ideas in the mind that draw strength from the connections they make. Neuromarketing provides powerful techniques for measuring brand associations.
Product design and innovation: Neuromarketing can measure consumer responses to product ideas and package designs that are largely automatic, emotional, and outside our conscious awareness.
Advertising effectiveness: Much advertising impacts us through nonconscious means, even though we don't think it does. Neuromarketing explains how.
Shopper decision making: Neuromarketing shows how store environments directly influence how shoppers decide and buy, and it's not a logical process.
Online experiences: The online world provides new challenges to our old brains. Brain science shows the many ways we can be subtly influenced as we go about our online activities.
Entertainment effectiveness: Entertainment creates experiences in people's minds that can influence attitudes, preferences, and actions. Neuromarketing shows what happens when entertainment transports us into an imaginary world.
Neuromarketing uses a variety of tools and techniques to measure consumer responses and behavior. These include everything from relatively simple and inexpensive approaches, such as eye tracking (measuring eye gaze patterns), analyzing facial expressions, and behavioral experiments (for example, seeing how changes in product displays affect a consumer's choices), to more complex, sensor-based approaches, including biometrics (body signal measures) that measure perspiration, respiration, heart rate, and facial muscle movement (electromyography [EMG]), as well as neurometrics (brain signal measures) that measure electrical activity (electroencephalography [EEG]), and blood flow (functional magnetic resonance imaging [fMRI]) in the brain.
How to Apply Neuromarketing to Advertising
The traditional model of advertising effectiveness assumes a direct, conscious route from viewing an ad to making a purchase. But advances in brain science have identified an indirect route that takes into account nonconscious processes. Each route is more likely to succeed in different circumstances.
|Direct Route to Advertising Effectiveness
|Indirect Route to Advertising Effectiveness
|To communicate a simple and logical argument that persuades
consumers to buy a product, either by reinforcing their current
preferences or by changing their preferences from a competing
|Two steps: First, influence brand equity by changing brand
attitudes, memory, and intentions toward the brand. Then, allow
brand attitudes and associations to impact sales at the point of

recall, and immediate sales.
|Emotional connections, nonconscious processing, implicit
memory, brand attitudes, and future sales.
|When it works the best
|When the product or the product category is new, when the
product is expensive and purchased infrequently, when the purpose
of the ad is to generate a direct response rather than an
impression leading to a sale in the future.
|When the product and its category are well established and
familiar; when the ad minimizes information and message content and
focuses on an emotionally engaging narrative in which the brand
plays a central role; when the product is inexpensive and purchased
frequently, so the ad is aimed at building or reinforcing
longer-term associations with the brand.
Using Brain Science for Marketing
Traditional marketing is often based on a rational consumer model that views the consumer as persuadable by rational arguments and consciously aware of what drives his purchase decisions. However, brain science research has demonstrated that an intuitive consumer model provides a more realistic picture of how consumers actually decide and buy. The following table presents the key differences between these two models.
|The Rational Consumer Model
|The Intuitive Consumer Model
|Information about brands and products drives purchase
|Habit, experience, and emotional cues provide shortcuts to
making decisions.
|Factual information can be retrieved by the consumer,
completely and accurately.
|Feelings about products and brands are the main memories
retrieved by consumers; facts are remembered sporadically and often
|Preferences are determined rationally. They're clear,
unambiguous, and enduring.
|Preferences are rarely the products of careful logical
analysis. More often, they're inferred from the
consumer's behavior, rather than the other way around.

at the point of sale.
|Most purchase decisions are made spontaneously and without much
conscious deliberation at the point of sale.

|Product and brand preferences can be changed by changing the
situation within which the consumer is shopping.

deliver rational, logical arguments about brands and products.

nonconscious ways. At a conscious level, consumers believe ads and

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Australia
The Great barrier reef is one of the richest, most complex and diverse ecosystems in the world. As the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms, it can be seen from outer space. It is of great scientific interest as the habitat of species such as the dugong ('sea cow') and the large green turtle, which are threatened with extinction.The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park covers 98.5 of the Great Barrier reef and is administered by The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA), in partnership with the Government of Queensland. The Great Barrier Reef was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981. It is the second biggest marine world heritage site.
View photos of the world heritage site
Size and Location
The Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area covers 348 000 km² (an area bigger than the United Kingdom, Holland and Switzerland combined). The park lies east of the mainland coast of Queensland, Australia.
Flora and Fauna
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is one of the world's largest, most important and most biologically diverse ecosystems. It is home to thousands of organisms, with over 1500 species of fish, about 400 species of coral, 4000 species of mollusc and 242 species of birds, as well as a great diversity of sponges, anemones, marine worms, crustaceans, and many others including more than 100 protected species.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is home to one of the world's most important dugong populations, six of the world's seven species of marine turtle, including the largest breeding aggregation of green turtles (on the Raine Island) and Sea snakes, a unique but vulnerable group of animals. The vulnerable endemic hump-backed dolphin, as well as migratory species including the humpback whale and dwarf minke whale also live in the area.
About 1.7 million seabirds from 23 species breed on islands and cays, accounting for up to 50 per cent of the global population for some of these species.
There is a conflict between the various uses of the reef and the desire to see it maintained in its pristine state. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park protects a large part of Australia's Great Barrier Reef from damaging activities. Fishing and the removal of artifacts is strictly regulated, and commercial shipping traffic must stick to specifically defined shipping routes that avoid the most sensitive areas of the park.
The Great Barrier Reef's environmental pressures include lowered water quality from agricultural runoff and climate change, increased temperatures, storms and coral bleaching. Cyclic outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish, overfishing which disrupts food chains, and shipping routes which can result in oil spills or improper ballast discharge also damage the reef. On April 3 2010, The Shen Neng 1, a Chinese ship carrying 950 tonnes of oil, ran aground, creating the largest grounding scar on the Great Barrier Reef known to date. The scar was roughly 3 km and 250 m wide. Some damaged areas have become completely devoid of marine life. There are concerns that there could be considerable long-term damage to the reef and it will be 10 to 20 years before the reef returns to the state it was in before the incident.
Tourists make extensive use of reefs and waters for recreational activities, including fishing, diving and snorkelling, water sports, sightseeing, reef-walking and some shell collecting. Tourism is allowed within all zones, except preservation and scientific research zones.

HRH Charles,
The Prince of Wales
"I am delighted to see the success of the initiative called 1001 Inventions, which presents and celebrates the many scientific, technological and humanitarian developments shared by the Islamic world and the West. For while the West struggled in a period often called the "Dark Ages" enormous intellectual and cultural developments were taking place in Muslim Civilization from the seventh century onwards. In science, astronomy, mathematics, algebra (itself an Arabic word), law, history, medicine, pharmacology, optics, agriculture, architecture, theology, music - a "Golden Age" of discovery was flourishing in the Islamic world, which would contribute enormously to the European Renaissance.
It is a matter of great pride that, although global in its outreach and operation, 1001 Inventions is in fact an initiative of a British-based team supported by a network of academics around the world. The 1001 Inventions exhibitions, books and films have achieved significant success in popularizing public understanding of the cultural roots of science and, thereby, encouraging intercultural respect and appreciation.
I can only pray that the whole concept of 1001 Inventions will inspire future generations of scientists and scholars, men and women, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, to build a better world for their fellow man, whatever their creed or colour. I look forward to the further success and expansion of this much-needed initiative."
His Excellency Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,
Prime Minister of Turkey
"It's my fond hope that 1001 exhibition, which relays the 1000 year adventure of science and technology in Muslim civilisation, will serve as an example for our youth, for the Muslim world and for humanity. When the exhibition first opened in London, it was visited by nearly half a million people. I believed that it would be so much more meaningful if we brought it to Istanbul during this Holy month of Ramadan. As a result, all tourists, both local and foreign, would have the chance to experience the exhibition while visiting this historic city. Accomplishments displayed within this this exhibition, which were achieved in the fields of medicine, astronomy, mathematics, geometry, chemistry and so on, still manage to amaze us even today. Magnificent inventions like robots, clocks, blood sampling containers, water machines, locks with passwords, thermoses, automated childrens toys, created by the Ottoman scholar Al Jaziri, who was considered to be the Leonardo Da Vinci of the Muslim world, still manage to generate astonishment and admiration in the modern world.
It is our common responsibility to ensure we do not forget, or let be forgotten, those precious scientists who came from Muslim civilisation, who led a silent life. In that sense, the 1001 Inventions exhibition is a very important and propitious task. The exhibition will will be moving on to New York (after Istanbul), and will then be travelling all around the world. I believe that new museums should be built in our cities and university campuses dedicated to the scientific achievements of Muslim civilisation. Such efforts will help increase self-confidence in the young generation of the Muslim world. I also believe it will help demonstrate that science and technology progress is a cornerstone of our civilisation's progress. Finally, I would like to congratulate each and every individual who was involved in creating this exhibition."
The Hon. Hillary Clinton,
67th US Secretary of State
1001 Inventions celebrates a millennium of science and innovation in the Muslim world, and this exhibition honors remarkable accomplishments throughout history. From a woman who founded a University in the ninth century, to a thirteenth century inventor and mechanical engineer, to a surgeon whose writings influenced European medicine for hundreds of years, and so many more.
And of course, we're looking at the impact of technology in the Muslim world right now as young people throughout the Middle East and North Africa find new ways to use social networking to get organized and to express their aspirations. Connection technologies offer an unprecedented opportunity. A platform through which everyone, from farmers to students to entrepreneurs, can exchange ideas and hatch plans for the world's next great invention. But technology does not decide the future. People do.
So as this exhibition shows, the Muslim world has a proud history of innovators. Now is the time to tap in to that legacy to harness the power of science and technology, and to create new pathways to prosperity.
"I have to say that I am absolutely delighted to support the 1001 Inventions Project. This is a scintillating and original initiative and incredibly timely. If you get a chance to get around the exhibition, it is fabulously organised.
When I was at school, I was always taught that after the fall of the Roman empire we had this extraordinary dark period of a thousand years called the dark ages, and that really troubled me, because how can there be such a time in human history, its very unlikely that people just stopped doing things. And of course, it's a terrible misnomer…. There was no dark ages….
For the thousand years after 500AD there was an extraordinary amount of activity that radiated out from Baghdad and along a glittering crescent along North Africa and into Islamic Spain and the result of some of that activity is what you'll be seeing in this 1001 Inventions exhibition. We've inherited all kinds of things from the Muslim world and Muslim Heritage is all around us today… for instance Arabic numerals that we use everyday and Arabic words like arsenal, almond, mattress, sugar...
One of the things I saw when making a recent documentary for Channel 4, where these beautiful Arabic manuscripts in Fez, Morocco, a number of these dealt with Aristotle, and it was fascinating seeing them, because as you turned these very old dusty pages you see that actually, the work of Aristotle has been advanced by Muslim scholars, and that's something that is incredibly important to remember… that this was a time when Muslims and Non-Muslims worked together in collaboration. The tragedy of much of Muslim Heritage is that it was burnt in 1492 in Spain, over one million Muslim texts were set into the fires. But with a project like 1001 Inventions, I think we are going to see a phoenix rise from the ashes. "
"The Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation has produced a beautiful catalogue 1001 Inventions: How Muslim Civilisation Shaped The World. It reminds us just how the Middle East, North Africa and Al Andalus catalysed many of the trappings of modern life.

Mr. Adam Hart Davis,
Photographer, Writer and TV Science Presenter of the BBC Series
"I am absolutely delighted to be involved in this wonderful exhibition of a 1001 inventions. … {begins a long presentation highlighting a number of important inventions} … That's what this 1001 inventions exhibition and book are all about. It's a wonderful exploration and celebration of science. I'm just sad I can't be there for the launch of 1001 inventions. It is a super celebration of Islamic brilliance in the Middle ages. The Arabs were the people that shone with their extraordinary mathematical ability and ability to observe the natural world and make sense of it… and that is what this exhibition and book are all about. So do go and visit, the exhibition is a wonderful example of what those Muslims achieved over a thousand years ago."
Irina Bakova,
UNESCO Director General
I am pleased to partner with the International Organisation 1001 Inventions to launch the World of Ibn Al-Haytham global campaign, to promote light-science for the benefit of all. A ground-breaking scientist from a thousand years ago, the life and work of Ibn Al-Haytham have never been as relevant as they are today."

Q&A: On The Eve Of March Madness 2012, CBS And Turner Plan To Improve On Their First Dance Together
By Barry Janoff
March 13, 2012: In April 2010, CBS Sports and Turner Broadcasting unveiled an alliance that would change the landscape of sports and sports business: A 14-year deal with the NCAA valued at $10.8 billion for rights to the Division I men's basketball tournament.
CBS had been airing March Madness games since 1982, but the alliance brought Turner's TNT, TBS and truTV into the mix. That enabled viewers for the first time to choose which games to watch rather than being switched to another at the discretion of the production team. The deal also covers Internet and mobile, and gives CBS Sports and Turner the rights to handle sales and marketing for the Tournament.
Official NCAA corporate champions are AT&T, Capital One and Coca-Cola. NCAA official corporate partners are Allstate, Buick, Enterprise, Infiniti, LG, Lowe's, Northwestern Mutual, Reese's (Hershey's), Unilever, UPS and Wheat Thins (Kraft).
The CBS-Turner pact coincided with the expansion of the Tournament field from 65 teams to 68. That, in turn, led to the formation of the First Four, in which the four lowest-seeded schools and the four highest-rated at-large schools play for two spots in the second round.
It also meant that talent from CBS Sports and Turner would be working together, from sales and production to on-air. In 2012, the latter includes from CBS Greg Gumbel, Jim Nantz, Clark Kellogg, Verne Lundquist, Bill Raftery, Len Elmore, Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkel. From Turner Sports the crew includes Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Greg Anthony, Kenny Smith, Marv Albert, Steve Kerr, Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller.
The alliance had an immediate impact: Coverage of last year's regional semifinals produced the highest ratings in 18 years and coverage of the Sweet 16 had the highest ratings in 17 years. Final numbers from the entire event made it the most-watched Tournament since 2005, averaging 10.2 million total viewers, with more than 176 million people tuning in, according to CBS Sports and Turner.
This year's Tournament begins on March 13-14 with the First Four (on truTV) and runs through the Final Four, March 31 and April 2, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
On the eve of March Madness 2012, CBS Sports president Sean McManus and David Levy, president of sales, distribution and sports for Turner, talked to NYSportsJournalism about the pros, cons and future of the alliance.
NYSportsJournalism.com: How would you assess the first year of the alliance?
David Levy: By every measure, the first year was a success. Our goal was to put the viewers first, by giving them control over which games they wanted to see. So we say it was a huge win for the fans and for us.
Sean McManus: We wanted this to be successful, and we did everything to work toward that. But going in, we didn't know what would happen. I thought we would get calls [from viewers] who could find some of the games or didn't want to switch from network to network. But to my knowledge we received none of those calls. So I would agree with David in saying that the first year was successful because we put control of the games in the hands of the viewers rather than a director.
NYSJ: Sending viewers to another network certainly goes against industry tradition. How did you personally get over that hurdle?
SM: I was a nervous wreck last year. I was really concerned. There was a lot of skepticism. There were people in the media who said things like, 'You expect viewers to switch among four networks to find games?' But, honestly, I was more concerned about that than David, more concerned about viewers saying, 'I'm watching a game on CBS and it's a blow-out. Why aren't you switching to another game that is closer,' which is what we had always done in the past [when CBS was the only network covering the Tournament]. But what is now happening is that on CBS, if there is a game that is a blowout, we tell the viewers, 'Go to TNT, go to TBS and you'll see a buzzer-beater.' And TNT and TBS were doing the same thing if they had a blowout, sending viewers to CBS if we had a really close game.
DL: And on the other side, we are finding that people also are sticking with a team or a specific conference that is being represented all the way through without being switched out.
NYSJ: You are both veterans in the business, but sophomores in this partnership regarding the NCAA tournament and March Madness. Did you have a Wow! moment last season during the first year of the deal?
DL: My Wow! moment was actually Selection Sunday last year, being in the CBS studio and seeing all this talent under one roof. And then really being a part of the Tournament. We made the deal almost a year before that. We knew it would be exciting. But you don't really know until you get there. So my Wow! moment was being with Sean, in the studio, on Selection Sunday, when everything was coming together. The brackets are being announced, and seeing Sean's CBS talent and our talent coming together as one organization.
SM: That also was a memorable moment for me. But we really weren't doing any basketball at that point. My big one was really after the first window on Thursday and I asked, "How many phone calls have we gotten [complaining about] the switching out of games. And the answer was, 'Zero.'
"The NCAA really took a chance. ESPN could have paid as much for rights as we did. They took a leap of faith, and it has turned out to be the right move."
NYSJ: Did you get any push-back from the NCAA's marketing partners and from your marketing partners about the new multi-channel arrangements?
DL: None. Unlike what Sean said about the number of phone calls coming regarding complaints, we received a lot of phone calls [from marketing partners] and they were all positive. Especially when the [TV] numbers started to come in.
SM: Friday morning, Saturday morning, after the ratings came in, I have never seen a group of advertisers more satisfied with the numbers and the perception of what was being done. What we started last year was a home run for any advertiser [with marketers getting the opportunity to run their commercials across multiple networks]. And the repeat business and new partners coming in [such as Allstate and Northwest Mutual] is a result of that.
NYSJ: Behind closed doors, what is the NCAA saying about the alliance and the way in which the Tournament is being presented?
SM: The response has been the same as the one they display in public — they have been absolutely thrilled. Listen, the NCAA really took a chance. They had ESPN, and ESPN could have paid as much for rights as we did. During the negotiations, David and I went to them and said, 'We can take [Turner parent company] Time Warner and CBS and put them together.' And they said, 'Really!? How are you going to do that? You each have your own sales teams. You have your own production teams. Can you do that?'' There was a lot of skepticism. But they took a leap of faith, and it has turned out to be the right move.
DL: What was really interesting for me during the whole presentation and negotiation process was with that CBS being No. 1 in prime time and Turner channels being able to reach so many different and key demographics, the potential audience that we showed [the NCAA] that we could deliver. Not just men, and not just men 18-25 or 18-45, but women, older viewers, other important [groups]. When you go to ESPN, which is great, and I go there every day, it doesn't have the breadth and reach of CBS and Turner combined. When you take both — the CBS prime time and sports line-up and the Turner line-up, including Cartoon Network, CNN, TBS, TNT — you have the opportunity to reach more people. And that's what the NCAA saw.
NYSJ: The people you have announcing and analyzing the games are experienced, but was there any trepidation that they might not work well together?
DL: Watching Jim Nantz, Clark Kellogg and Steve Kerr for the First Four, which was new at that point, showed me that it would work. And that was supported when the ratings came in for truTV for the night. And it out-delivered what ESPN had done in years past [for the play-in game].
SM: We really didn't know, until that first ball was tipped, what was going to happen. [But] my confidence in what we had done, in putting the CBS and Turner talent together, continued to grow when I saw the way the system came together. Watching the updates in-studio. Listening to Marv Albert call a [college] game as well as anyone I had ever heard call a college basketball game. We know that Marv, Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller know more than enough about college basketball. That's not an issue. We know they can integrate with our [college announcers and analysts] in the studio and in the field . . . It all worked well.
NYSJ: Did you see an upswing in viewers after March Madness on other programming?
DL: Did truTV benefit from showing the First Four? Absolutely. Did we get more casual sports viewers to watch the NBA, Major League Baseball, Nascar or our coverage of the PGA? I would say yes to that, but in varying degrees [for each sport].
"[Our surveys showed] we had a 91% approval rating. But we want to do an even better job. We certainly are not going to rest on our laurels."
NYSJ: What are the challenges you see regarding this year's Tournament?
DL: Last year, [critics] said, 'How are viewers going to find truTV?' 'Are they going to switch from channel to channel?' I think they underestimated viewers and fans. What we saw was that if people wanted to find a Syracuse game, UCLA, USC, they were going to find it. There are so many ways to find out where the games are. Sales, corporate and fan response was even better than we expected. So this year the challenge is to not only meet, but to top, the anticipated expectations.
SM: I feel that the anxiety we had going into the first year [of the alliance] has been replaced by 'What can we do to make it better.' We set the bar high, so we understand the challenges. Any changes or enhancements, we are going to make those decisions basked on what is good for the viewers. [Our surveys showed] we had a 91% approval rating. But we want to do an even better job. We certainly are not going to rest on our laurels.

What This Year's Health Insurance Open Enrollment Season Means for You
Sign-up periods for Medicare, employer-plans and the new insurance marketplace are happening at the same time. Which, if any, requires your attention?
Zero Creatives/cultura/Corbis
In Spanish l Americans are gearing up for the first open enrollment season of the Affordable Care Act, the federal health care law known as Obamacare, beginning Oct. 1.
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
Despite a barrage of articles, advertisements and public service announcements, there's still a lot to learn about open enrollment in the Health Insurance Marketplace and whether it affects open enrollment for other types of insurance, including Medicare, existing employer-sponsored plans and individual insurance plans.
Here are answers to several frequently asked questions about health insurance.
What is open enrollment?
It's the window during which eligible individuals can enroll in a group health insurance plan or change their existing coverage.
What happens during open enrollment?
You can choose health insurance that best meets your needs. This includes initiating or dropping coverage, or picking among such options as monthly premium costs, copayments, annual deductibles and prescription drug coverage. Participating insurance companies can't turn you away or charge you more because you have an illness or medical condition.
How often is open enrollment held?
Once a year, typically. If you have a qualifying "life event" (you get married or divorced or adopt a child, for example), you may be able to change your insurance coverage outside of the open enrollment period.
Does everybody have to do something during the Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment period?
No. Most people with health insurance don't have to do anything. This includes people who have Medicare, Medicaid and, for the most part, those who have employer-sponsored insurance or their own individual policies. Also, people with very low incomes and members of federally recognized Indian tribes don't have to do anything.
Who must apply for coverage through the marketplace?
In general, Americans who don't have health insurance that meets certain government standards must get coverage during this open enrollment period. Those who don't may face financial penalties.
When does open enrollment in the marketplace start?
This first time, it starts on Oct. 1, 2013, and ends on March 31, 2014. If you enroll by Dec. 23, your coverage will begin Jan. 1, 2014.
What about in future years?
Beginning in 2014, the marketplace open enrollment will coincide with Medicare open enrollment: Oct. 15 through Dec. 7.
Next page: What can you do at the marketplace? »
What can I do at the marketplace?
You shop for and fill out an application to buy a health insurance plan. The marketplace is run by either your state or the federal government, depending where you live. You can find out who runs the marketplace in your state online at Healthcare.gov or by calling 800-318-2596. You'll be able to compare prices, benefits and premiums of various insurance plans that meet the law's requirements and find out if you qualify for financial help.
What if I need help to apply?
Telephone (800-318-2596) and online-chat help is available 24/7 to assist you in completing your application.
Is online the only way I can apply for coverage?
No. You can also enroll by mail or in person at the marketplace in your state or through an insurance broker. For details call 800-318-2596.
What if I think I might be eligible for Medicaid?
The marketplace will also tell you if you qualify for free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid and let your state's Medicaid agency know so your coverage can start as soon as possible.
Can I switch from my private individual plan to one offered through the marketplace?
If your private individual plan ends before March 31, 2014, you can use the marketplace during open enrollment to replace it, with coverage beginning as early as Jan. 1, 2014. And if your current individual plan doesn't meet the law's minimum standards, you might be required to shop in the marketplace. Either way, be sure to check what financial help might be available to you for premiums and other out-of-pocket costs. If your plan ends after March 31, you may qualify for a special enrollment period that lets you shop the marketplace for a new plan. Contact your current health insurance provider for details.
When is open enrollment for employer-sponsored plans?
There's no set window, but it often opens in mid- to late fall.
Do existing employer-sponsored and individual plans have to provide the same benefits offered in plans available through the marketplace?
Yes and no. The health care law requires so-called grandfathered plans — plans that existed on March 23, 2010, and have stayed basically the same — to include some of its key provisions, such as no limits on lifetime coverage. But grandfathered plans aren't required to have all of the consumer rights and protections that new plans must offer, such as free preventive screenings and the right to appeal the denial of a medical claim.
How do I find out if my plan is grandfathered?
Although health plans must disclose whether they're grandfathered, plan materials can be hard to decipher. Your best bet is to consult your insurance company or your health plan benefits administrator at work.

Do I have to stick with a health plan offered by my employer?
You might have choices. You can renew or change your coverage during your employer's annual open enrollment period. Or if your employer does not offer good insurance — "good" meaning that a plan doesn't cost more than 9.5 percent of your income and pays at least 60 percent of your covered medical expenses — you could shop for coverage through the marketplace, and you might qualify for financial help.
What if I miss my employer's open enrollment deadline?
You'll likely have to wait a year to enroll in the employer-sponsored plan or make changes in your coverage. But if you have a qualifying "life event," you may be able to change your coverage sooner.
I have Medicare. Do I do anything differently?
Medicare isn't part of the marketplace, and Medicare plans aren't offered through the marketplace. If you're already receiving Medicare benefits, you're covered.
When will I be notified of changes in Medicare plans for 2014?
Cost and benefit details of the Part D and Medicare Advantage plans available in 2014 will be posted online by Oct. 15. By late September, you should receive an Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) document that details any changes in your plan's premiums, copays, deductibles and coverage. It's important to look at these changes and avoid unwelcome surprises when they become effective Jan. 1.
What if I want to change options for my Medicare coverage?
The annual Medicare open enrollment period (pdf) of Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 is the time to do it. If you don't want to change anything, you don't need do anything — your current coverage will continue next year.
How can I find out more about what the health care law means for me?

33. The third age, Ecatonatiuh, means "sun of air", because this period came to an end by winds that were so strong that they uprooted all of the buildings and trees and even broke the rocks in pieces; and the majority of mankind perished. And because those who escaped this calamity found a large number of monkeys that the wind must have brought from other parts, the survivors said man must have been changed into monkeys.
34. Those who possessed this new world in this third age were the Ulmecas and Xicalancas; and according to what is found in their histories, they came in ships or boats from the east to the land of Potonchan, and from there they began to populate the land.
42. A few days after he left, a great destruction and devastation took place, which is referred to as the third period of the world. At that time, the great building and tower of Cholula, which was so famous and marvelous, was destroyed. It was like a second tower of Babel that these people had built, with virtually the same idea in mind. It was destroyed by the wind.
43. And later, those who escaped at the end of the third age, in place of the ruins, the people built a temple to Quetzalcoatl, whom they named "the god of wind", because it was destroyed by the wind. They understood that this calamity was sent by his hand. And they called it Ce Acatl, which was the name of the year of his coming. According to the history referred to, and from the records, the foregoing took place a few years after the birth of Christ our Lord.
44. After this age had passed, beginning at this time, entered the fourth age called Tletonatiuh, which means, "sun of fire", because it is said that this fourth and last age will end by fire.
All of this is a confused Christian-native mix, but
We'll see.

Arianespace launches satellite for Kazakhstan
KOUROU, French Guiana (AP) — The Arianespace consortium has successfully launched a rocket that lofted an Earth observation satellite for the Central Asian nation of Kazakhstan.
The satellite was carried into orbit by a Vega rocket late Tuesday from the consortium's spaceport in French Guiana in South America. The rocket's flight lasted 55 minutes.
Kazakhstan says it will use the satellite to monitor natural and agricultural resources, provide mapping data, and support for rescue operations.
The launch was Arianespace's fourth mission in 2014.
Arianespace is the commercial arm of the European Space Agency.

We're on our own now, kids...
Dear Abby:
My great aunt (let's call her Beansie) visits us several times a year. She's a dear old woman, and we love her to death, but she has a major, major gas problem. Last night, she even let one fly at the dinner table! (She picked up the tablecloth, looked beneath it, and said, "...Bad, bad, doggie!" Abby, we have cats!)
We're at wit's end. How do we approach Aunt Beansie about this without hurting her feelings?
Flatulence in Frisco
Dear Abby:
Our son just got engaged to a girl with jewelry in "unusual" places. We've been tolerant, but now she's sporting nipple rings and she's constantly pulling up her shirt to show them off. My husband wears a pacemaker, and this young woman is going to burn the pacemaker battery out with her constant shirt-lifting to show off her little gold rings. But our Herby adores this woman. It's his first love, and we don't want to drive a wedge between them.
How can we lay out the ground rules without offending our son?
Melonsaplenty in Muncy
Dear Abby:
My husband "Hershey" has a horrible, horrible habit that's driving me nuts. He leaves his dirty underwear all over the house. I find them on the bathroom floor, the living room floor, hanging from bedposts, draped over our lamps ...and even on the dining room table. I've tried talking to him, and he promises to stop, but next thing I know there's dirty Fruit of the Looms in my fruit bowl.

MMAWeekly Radio returns with a stacked show for Wednesday including recently retired UFC fighter Mark Hominick, plus TUF 16 finale fighters Shane Del Rosario and Dustin Poirier.
Mark Hominick stops by less than 24-hours after the announcement that he would be retiring from MMA following his last fight in the UFC.
Hominick explains why he's walking away from the sport, what's next for him, and if there is a window open for a return.
Also, Shane Del Rosario and Dustin Poirier stop by the show today to talk about their upcoming fights this weekend at the TUF 16 finale.
And MMAWeekly Radio is where debate happens with all new topics on today's show:
– UFC on Fox 5 ratings peak at 5.7 million viewers and top the 18-49 demographic. Is this a sign for what the UFC has to do to pull in top ratings?
– Bellator moves to Thursdays on Spike TV in 2013. Do you believe the move will put Bellator closer to the UFC in terms of overall relevancy in MMA?
– Jon Jones has expressed interest in fighting at heavyweight and possibly facing Anderson Silva. Which move is more intriguing?

Uncorking the Possibilities
Local builders say wine storage options are almost limitless.
From those who sip an occasional glass of Chianti with friends to enthusiastic oenophiles, the notion of owning a wine cellar is fascinating to many people. In fact, a recent U.S. Luxury-Home Market survey by Wine Trends, a wine-consulting firm, showed that 67 percent of respondents were interested in incorporating wine storage into their homes.

Weakened by injury and chastened by the memory of a crushing loss to the same opponents 12 months ago, Italy have vowed to use their imagination when they meet Spain in today's Confederations Cup semi-final.
The match at Fortaleza's Estadio Castelao is a repeat of last year's Euro Cup final, when Spain cruised to a 4-0 win to claim an unprecedented third consecutive major international title.
Having swept through the group phase at the Confederations Cup with three consecutive wins, the world and European champions were the favorites to advance to the final even before Italy was struck by injury problems.
Right-back Ignazio Abate and key striker Mario Balotelli have both been ruled out of the tournament, although midfielders Riccardo Montolivo and Andrea Pirlo are both expected to feature against Spain.
Pirlo missed Saturday's 4-2 loss to Brazil with a calf injury, while Montolivo took a blow to the head in the same game, but both players have since resumed training.
Balotelli's early departure from the tournament with a thigh injury is a heavy blow, the AC Milan striker having emerged in the plast 12 months as manager Cesare Prandelli's most important attacking player.
Experienced Bologna striker Alberto Gilardino is in line to deputize.
In the expectation that Spain will dominate possession — as they habitually do — Prandelli has sad that Italy may have to do "something innovative" tactically.
Italian media reports suggest the former ACF Fiorentina manager will deploy a compact 3-5-2 formation, with an all-Juventus back three of Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli.
The system helped Italy stymie Spain in their opening match at Euro 2012, which ended in a 1-1 draw, and when Prandelli reverted to a four-man defense in the final, his team were swept aside.
Although the two teams remain similar in terms of both style and personnel to the sides that faced off at Kiev's Olympic Stadium in the Ukraine, Spain defender Sergio Ramos said it does not necessarily follow that today's game will produce a similar outcome.
"We've practically kept the same style of play and the same players, and so have they, so they're fairly similar to us in that respect," the Real Madrid center-back said.
"They have young players and veterans, and they're extra motivated because they're out for revenge. At stake is the final of an important competition, and everyone dreams of playing in a final at the [Estadio] Maracana," Ramos said. "Italy have a very strong competitive mentality and have always shown that, despite their last result against us."
Spain have concerns over Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas and Valencia striker Roberto Soldado, both of whom had to go off due to muscle injuries in the 3-0 win over Nigeria on Sunday.
The two players trained apart from the rest of their colleagues during a training session in Fortaleza on Tuesday evening.
Spain manager Vicente del Bosque must also decide which of his three goalkeepers is most deserving of his faith, having allowed Iker Casillas, Pepe Reina and Victor Valdes to play a game each during the group phase.
Del Bosque's team have not lost a competitive game since a shock defeat by Switzerland at the 2010 World Cup, but Italy midfielder Claudio Marchisio believes his side have the tools to undo them.
"They're the strongest team, the [world and European] champions, who have won everything, but we're not playing to lose," the Juventus man said.

Denver resident Tina Ries wants to get a concealed-carry permit for a gun because she says she wants to be able protect herself and her family.
Having gone through all the required training, there is nothing left for Ries to do except have Denver police take fingerprints and process her paperwork.
Which will happen — in about four months.
In fact, the wait time is the longest it's ever been, and the department's policy of requiring petitioners to make appointments instead of accepting all-comers — like other large jurisdictions allow — is drawing intense criticism.
Under the law, authorities have 90 days to process the application. But because of Denver's process, the wait clock for the 90-day period doesn't start until the appointment is conducted.
Presently, that means someone applying for the permit today wouldn't be seen until July, police said, and could possibly not get the results until October.
That time-frame is unacceptable, Ries said.
"The county should respond to the demand by staffing it more so people aren't left waiting," she said. "We are doing our part in following their policies and procedures: They should meet us halfway by not making us jump through additional hoops."
With an overwhelming demand for concealed-carry permits, police and sheriffs' departments say they are doing all they can to keep up with the flood of people.
That is the case for Denver, said Raquel Lopez, Denver police spokeswoman.
Staff said the reason for this is simple: They are incredibly busy.
"Everyone applied at the same time," Lopez said. "It really slowed down the process."
There are approximately 392 applications pending with Denver police, according to records. Last year, which saw an increase in the number of permits is issued nearly double from 2011, the department approved 984 permits.
Denver isn't facing the demand alone.
The El Paso County Sheriff's office is scheduling appointments for permit processing, which, as of Monday, extended through March 26.
Like Denver, El Paso has been slammed with those seeking a permit, said Joe Roybal, spokesman for the sheriff's department.
From Jan. 2 to Feb. 22, 2012, there were 461 permits processed, Roybal said. In that same time span this year, 1,304 permits were processed, he said.
Despite the appointments, Roybal said the department works in a timely manner.
"We are very sensitive to the 90-day waiting period," he said.
Other departments also are receiving a tremendous amount applications but are not scheduling appointments for submittals.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department has been rocked with permit paperwork, but still takes walk-ins for processing, said Jacki Kelley, a sheriff's department spokeswoman.
"Our doors are open," Kelley said. "Come on down."
Most days, a line of people waiting for permit processing has formed by 8 a.m., Kelley said.
Appointments would prolong wait times for the entire process, she said.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Department takes walk-ins only, said Ron Hanavan, department spokesman.
"It's first come, first serve," he said. "And it's working."
The department has experienced a considerable increase in applications since mid-December, after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Hanavan said.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department tried using appointments for a short time to combat the rush of applicants, but it didn't last long, said Sheriff Grayson Robinson.
"It didn't work for us," he said. "Walk-ins work much better for us."
The Arapahoe, El Paso and Douglas departments added or shifted staff to better expedite the process, authorities said.
While this news may be frustrating for applicants, state data show delays are on par with the massive demand.
The number of background checks run for concealed firearm permits jumped in 2012 from 2011 by 11,065 applications processed by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, data show.

For any climb to be rated (receive a climb score/category) it must be at least 500 meters in length with an average grade of 3% or more.
All climb scores are based on distance, grade/elevation change, and maximum elevation. The combination of these factors drives all final climb categories and there is no subjective analysis used in the final scoring of any climb score. All other climbs that do not meet the criteria for HC to Cat 5 are simply too small to rate and can usually be crossed easily by bicycle, running, or walking. The original concepts for the MapMyFitness categorization of all climbs came from the categorized climb ratings given by the UCI for races like the Tour de France and other professional cycling events. Our methodology is unique in several ways to allow for categorizations to be relevant for all sports and we added an additional difficulty with category 5 climbs. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at support.mapmyfitness.com.

text: It's been an exciting week for the Aquarium's Animal Rescue team, as they have traveled across Maryland to release six rehabilitated animals back to their ocean habitat! Last Friday, the team traveled to Ocean City, Maryland, to release Guinness, the juvenile gray seal that originally stranded in Kittyhawk, North Carolina, on March 17, and days later came to the National Aquarium for rehabilitation. Watch a video of Guinness' release: Just two days later, the team traveled to Point Lookout State Park in Scotland, Maryland, to release five rehabilitated Kemp's ridley sea turtles into the Bay. The five turtles, nicknamed Donner, Blitzen, Rudolph, Frosty, and Buddy after winter characters, were part of a larger group of cold-stunned turtles that came to the Aquarium from New England in December. As we've shared over the past six months, it has been a long journey for these endangered turtles. The release was certainly a celebration for our Animal Rescue team, and the hundreds of people who gathered on the beach to help send the turtles back to sea! Watch a video of the releases: Our friends at Oceana joined us for the turtle releases to help educate people about their save the sea turtles campaign, which is dedicated to the protection and restoration of sea turtle populations in the world's oceans. The campaign works to reduce sea turtle bycatch in fisheries, protect sea turtle habitat and develop legislation to protect sea turtles. Whenever financially and ethically possible, National Aquarium Animal Rescue fits released animals with satellite tags. The tags allow the team to temporarily monitor the migration of reintroduced animals. Whenever the animal surfaces, the tag sends a signal to a satellite, indicating its location. Thanks to a recent grant, Guinness, Rudolph and Buddy were all affixed with satellite tracking tags. Guinness has already traveled more than 200 miles north, while the turtles seem to be hanging within a 50-mile radius of their release location. You can track their travels on our animal tracking page. National Aquarium Animal Rescue depends on the generosity of volunteers to operate, but medical equipment, medications, and food for caring for these animals is expensive. If you'd like to help support National Aquarium Animal Rescue, you can make a donation online, or donate $5 right from your mobile phone by texting ACT to 20222. A one-time donation of $5 will be added to your mobile phone bill or deducted from your prepaid balance. All donations must be authorized by the account holder. All charges are billed by and payable to your mobile service provider. Service is available on most carriers. Donations are collected for the benefit of the National Aquarium by the Mobile Giving Foundation and subject to the terms found at www.hmgf.org/t. Messaging & data rates may apply. You can unsubscribe at any time by texting STOP to 20222; text HELP to 20222 for help.
