Rees Jones Invitational Live Stats
Fresh off a fourth-place finish at the Northern Intercollegiate, Liberty will look to keep its fall golf schedule rolling when the Flames attempt to defend their title at the 2013 Rees Jones Invitational.
At last year's event, the Flames posted a six-over par 870 (284-290-296) and convincingly won by 24 strokes over East Carolina (298-303-293-894/+30) and by 26 strokes over host South Carolina (295-296-305/+32). The victory marked the program's 22nd Division I team tournament title.
Liberty's Niklas Lindstrom posted his second collegiate individual triumph by carding a three-under par 213 (73-70-70) to claim medalist honors with a six-stroke victory.
Four players shared second place, including three Flames, with Chase Marinell (71-74-74), Ian McConnell (68-74-77) and Max McKay (72-72-75) all carding three-over par 219 scores.
This year's event will once against be contested at the Haig Point Golf Club in Daufuskie Island, S.C. The Rees Jones signature golf course plays at 7,380 yards and at a par 72.
The 12-team tournament field includes several of the top programs in the country and Liberty's first look at a pair of Big South programs (Charleston Southern and Winthrop).
Six of the dozen teams in this year's Rees Jones Invitational finished last year inside the final top 75 Golfstat rankings including: South Carolina (No. 29), Liberty (No. 38), Kennesaw State (No. 59), Charlotte (No. 65) and UNCW (No. 71).
Liberty opened its 2013-14 schedule with a fourth-place showing at the Northern Intercollegiate. The event was hosted by Northern Illinois at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill., which will also host one of the six 2014 NCAA Men's Golf Regionals in May.
Four teams separated themselves from the 15-team field, finishing in a shootout during the final round of the three-day, 54-hole event. There was a five-stroke difference between the tournament winner and fourth place and a 12-stroke difference between fourth and fifth place.
UCF saved its best round of the tournament for last, closing in one-under par 283 to claim a one-stroke victory with an aggregate two-over par 866 (290-293-283).
Virginia took second place with a three-over par 867 (289-291-287), followed by Houston's five-over par 869 (279-293-297) and Liberty's seven-over par 871 (281-296-294).
Liberty had two of the event's top five finishers in Marinell and Lindstrom. Marinell, a 2013 PING All-Region honoree, finished in third place with a three-under par 213 (71-72-70), while 2013 All-Big South golfer Lindstrom shared fourth place with a two-over par 214 (70-71-73).
First round action at the 2013 Rees Jones Invitational will commence with 18 holes of action, starting at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, followed by two additional rounds of 18-hole play on Monday and Tuesday. Live stats for the event will be provided via Golfstat.

Turkey's bold backing of regime change in Syria – until recently a close friend – has caught many by surprise.
By hosting Syrian insurgents and political opposition figures, and by readying harsh unilateral sanctions against Damascus, Turkey's about-face with Syria signals a potentially significant shift to much stronger support for the democratic Arab awakening.
That could reinforce yesterday's agreement between the Arab League and the Syrian government. Syria says it will end the bloody crackdown on protesters, release political prisoners, and begin talks with the opposition – though Turkish officials say they have heard these promises before.
Turkey's firm break with Syria should also reassure Turkey's NATO allies, who had begun to question the commitment of the region's most established Muslim democracy to its Western ties and values.
The Arab Spring is forcing Ankara to confront the new realities of the Middle East. For the last decade, it has sought to open new markets and expand its regional influence through a policy of "zero problems with neighbors." It put no democratic preconditions on economic partners such as Iran and Syria, and this accommodating approach has sometimes caused friction with its NATO allies.
True, Turkey initially inspired admiration in the West – and Arab world – for its early embrace of the democratic revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt. But it misjudged Libya, where it had strong business ties, by initially rejecting sanctions and even opposing NATO's involvement, before ultimately changing course.
And Turkey's bellicosity toward former friend Israel stood in stark contrast to its silence with Iran and Syria as they buried their citizens' demands for democracy.
But Ankara's 180-degree turn with Damascus marks a decisive break from its "zero problems" policy.
In 2002, Turkey had invested more diplomatically and economically in Syria than in any of its neighbors. This transformed its relationship from one of military confrontation rooted in cold-war geopolitics and Syria's support for separatist Kurdish terrorists in Turkey, to one of economic cooperation. Turkey's ties to Syria became a model for rapprochement that Ankara then applied to other problematic neighbors such as Greece and Iraq.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is known for valuing loyalty. True to his word, he stuck by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad longer than any other Western friend – to the point of risking his own credibility in the transatlantic community. Following a similar pattern in Libya, he tried to play the role of mediator and empathetic friend until it became painfully clear that Damascus was no longer listening.
Now Turkey has advanced decisively beyond private criticism by leading the push for international action and sanctions against Damascus. Ankara is publicly hosting Syrian opposition leaders along with insurgents who have based themselves within Turkey's borders, and has reportedly been secretly arming the same forces. It's preparing unilateral sanctions that go far beyond what any Western power has thus far attempted.
The breakdown in Syrian relations is having a precipitously negative affect on Turkey's ties with neighbor Iran, its chief rival – but also important economic partner – for influence in the region. Add to that Turkey's decision to host NATO radar installations aimed at Iran, and Turkey's interests are now much more convergent with the West.
Is Syria an exception, or a policy shift?
The crucial question now is whether Ankara's turning on Syria is an exception tied to Turkey's national interests, or whether it's the start of a foreign-policy realignment that tries to democratize the region to support more Arab awakenings.
Turkish-Syrian relations have oscillated wildly over the years. Given the countries' extensive shared border, security self-interest may be the overriding motive for this departure from detente. Turks suspect that last month's well-coordinated attack by Kurdish PKK terrorists in Turkey was supported by Syria as a throwback to the 1990s, when Damascus hosted the PKK leader as leverage against Turkey.
On the other hand, Muslim-majority Turkey's credibility as a democratic model for the region is being put on the line with every suppressed Syrian protest and refugee who flees to Turkey. Prime Minister Erdogan also recognizes Turkey's historic opportunity: "Turkey is playing a role that can upturn all the stones in the region and that can change the course of history."
While traditional Turkish foreign policy has been conservative and inward focused, a "new" Turkey that boasts the fastest growing and largest economy in the region has far more tools to push a democracy agenda. As a result of its own process of reform, it is uniquely placed to play a decisive role in assisting and encouraging emerging democracies with its vibrant civil society and private sector.
Turkey may still have serious problems with its allies in the West – for instance, its accession to the European Union is stalled. But with its break with Syria, it is now working from the same script as the United States and Europe.
From the point of view of Turkey's Western allies, there is more reason than ever to refocus on Ankara's value as a strategic, economic, and diplomatic bridge between Europe and the Middle East, pointing the way from autocracy to democracy.

Exam Overview
A physical exam for high blood pressure also includes a medical history. The extent of the physical exam and the level of detail in your doctor's questions depend on how high your blood pressure is and whether you have other risk factors for heart disease. People who have many risk factors may have a more detailed evaluation.
The physical exam and medical history includes:
Your medical history, to evaluate risk factors such as smoking or family history of high blood pressure.
Two or more blood pressure measurements. Measurements may be taken from both the left and right arms and legs and may be taken in more than one position, such as lying down, standing, or sitting. Multiple measurements may be taken and averaged.
Measurement of your weight, height, and waist.
An exam of the retina, the light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye.
A heart exam.
An exam of your legs for fluid buildup (edema), and the pulse in several areas, including the neck.
An exam of your abdomen using a stethoscope. A doctor will listen to the blood vessels in the abdomen for abnormal sounds. These sounds may be caused by blood flow through a narrowed artery in the abdomen (abdominal bruits).
An exam of your neck for an enlarged thyroid, distended neck veins, and bruits in the carotid arteries.
Why It Is Done
The physical exam and medical history are done to:
Check to see if you might have high blood pressure.
Check for effects of high blood pressure on organs such as the kidneys and heart.
Determine whether you have risk factors for heart disease or stroke.
Rule out other causes of high blood pressure (secondary high blood pressure), such as medicines or other medical conditions.
Making sure that blood pressure is actually high
After measuring your blood pressure, your doctor may ask you to test it again when you are home.footnote 2, footnote 1 This is because your blood pressure can change throughout the day. And sometimes blood pressure is high only because you are seeing a doctor. This is called white-coat hypertension. To diagnose high blood pressure, your doctor needs to know if your blood pressure is high throughout the day.
So your doctor may ask you to monitor your blood pressure at home to make sure that it actually is high. You may get an ambulatory blood pressure monitor or a home blood pressure monitor. These devices measure your blood pressure several times throughout the day.
Other results
Your doctor might check for signs that high blood pressure has already caused damage to your blood vessels, heart, or eyes. Your doctor might check for:
Extra heart sounds caused by enlargement of the heart.
Swollen (distended) neck veins, which may point to possible heart failure.
Abnormal sounds when the doctor listens to the blood vessels in the abdomen using a stethoscope. These sounds may be caused by blood flow through a narrowed artery in the abdomen (abdominal bruits) or a narrowed artery leading to the kidney (renal artery stenosis) or by abnormal movement of blood through the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
Abnormal sound of blood flow (bruit) or diminished or absent blood flow (pulses) in the blood vessels of the arms and legs.
Abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen or legs (edema).
Abnormalities of the blood vessels in the back of the eye.
High Blood Pressure Diet: This Summer Drink May Help Manage Hypertension
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition where the pressure of blood against the walls of vessels is persistently elevated. A blood pressure close to 120/90 is considered normal and is considered high when it crosses 140/90. There are millions of cases of hypertension reported every year and it can last for years or can even be life-long. What makes hypertension a serious condition is that it often has no symptoms, and if left untreated over a long period of time, it may lead to serious health conditions like heart disease and strokes. Hypertension patients have to take special care of their daily meals and follow a strict high blood pressure diet to manage symptoms of the condition. This season demands that BP patients include healthy summer drinks in their diet.
Adding certain foods and drinks to your daily diet may help regulate symptoms of hypertension. Ideally, high blood pressure patients should eat foods that are low in sodium and saturated fat content and rich in fibre. Eating low-calorie and low-fat nutrient-rich foods and drinks may work wonders for hypertension patients, and during summers, one such BP-friendly drink is coconut water.
Hypertension Diet: Coconut Water For High BP
Coconut water is one of the healthiest summer drinks out there. The translucent liquid that is collected inside a green coconut is widely consumed as a thirst-quencher around the world. However, drinking it daily may have special benefits for hypertension patients. Here's why:
1. Low In Calories
A 100 ml of coconut water contains just 19 calories (according to the United States Department of Agriculture) and no fat or cholesterol.
2. Rich In Potassium
One of the most important minerals for hypertension patients who normally consume salty diet is potassium, which balances out the negative effects of salt. Coconut water contains 250 mg of potassium per 100 ml.
3. Reduces Blood Cholesterol
Blood cholesterol and high blood pressure are linked, as the hardening of arteries can put a strain on the heart by pushing it harder to pump blood. This raises the BP. Coconut water is said to reduce levels of triglycerides and blood cholesterol, thus helping hypertension patients.
A number of studies conducted on the health benefits of coconut water have proven that the drink is not just deliciously hydrating and filled with electrolytes, but may also be quite healthy for high blood pressure patients. Adding chilled coconut water to your hypertension diet this summer may help you improve your BP readings.
Eating Walnuts Daily May Improve Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure Levels: Study
Walnuts are said to be healthy for daily consumption. The nuts are said to be loaded with healthy fats in the form of omega 3 fatty acids as well as fibre. A new study has said that consuming walnuts can be particularly beneficial for those suffering from metabolic syndrome and may potentially bring down the risk of developing diabetes in such people. This is because walnuts may increase the levels of good cholesterol or High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) in the body and may even decrease fasting glucose level. Diabetes is a condition where the levels of blood glucose are persistently elevated. People suffering from metabolic syndrome have an elevate risk of developing Type-2 diabetes, stroke and heart diseases. This study's results may lead to a potential novel dietary method for bringing down risk of diabetes in metabolic syndrome patients.
The results of the study were published in the journal Nutrition Research and Practice. For the study, researchers divided 119 Korean males and females with metabolic syndrome into two separate control groups randomly. While the first group was asked to consume 45 gm of walnuts everyday for 16 weeks, the second group was asked to consume iso-caloric white bread as snacks. Both the groups had a six-week rest period, at the end of the 16 weeks, after which walnuts and white bread were cross-overly distributed to the two groups for a period of 16 weeks again. During the trial, the lipid profile, Hb1Ac levels, levels of adiponectin as well as leptin, apolipoprotein B were measured four times along with anthropometric and bioimpedance data.
Five markers of metabolic syndromes- blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, triglycerides and abdominal fat- were also mapped. It was reported that a little over half (51.2 per cent) of the participants with metabolic syndrome at baseline had reverted to normal status after 16 weeks of consuming walnuts. The levels of HDL, fasting glucose, Hb1Ac and adiponectin were observed to have improved significantly. The researchers concluded that consuming walnuts are snacking alternatives for high-carbohydrate foods may be a good idea for improvement in patients of metabolic syndrome.
High blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.
Blood pressure is determined both by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure.
You can have high blood pressure (hypertension) for years without any symptoms. Even without symptoms, damage to blood vessels and your heart continues and can be detected. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk of serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke.
High blood pressure generally develops over many years, and it affects nearly everyone eventually. Fortunately, high blood pressure can be easily detected. And once you know you have high blood pressure, you can work with your doctor to control it.
Most people with high blood pressure have no signs or symptoms, even if blood pressure readings reach dangerously high levels.
A few people with high blood pressure may have headaches, shortness of breath or nosebleeds, but these signs and symptoms aren't specific and usually don't occur until high blood pressure has reached a severe or life-threatening stage.
When to see a doctor
You'll likely have your blood pressure taken as part of a routine doctor's appointment.
Ask your doctor for a blood pressure reading at least every two years starting at age 18. If you're age 40 or older, or you're 18 to 39 with a high risk of high blood pressure, ask your doctor for a blood pressure reading every year.
Blood pressure generally should be checked in both arms to determine if there's a difference. It's important to use an appropriate-sized arm cuff.
Your doctor will likely recommend more frequent readings if you've already been diagnosed with high blood pressure or have other risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Children age 3 and older will usually have blood pressure measured as a part of their yearly checkups.
If you don't regularly see your doctor, you may be able to get a free blood pressure screening at a health resource fair or other locations in your community. You can also find machines in some stores that will measure your blood pressure for free.
Public blood pressure machines, such as those found in pharmacies, may provide helpful information about your blood pressure, but they may have some limitations. The accuracy of these machines depends on several factors, such as a correct cuff size and proper use of the machines. Ask your doctor for advice on using public blood pressure machines.
There are two types of high blood pressure.
Primary (essential) hypertension
For most adults, there's no identifiable cause of high blood pressure. This type of high blood pressure, called primary (essential) hypertension, tends to develop gradually over many years.
Secondary hypertension
Some people have high blood pressure caused by an underlying condition. This type of high blood pressure, called secondary hypertension, tends to appear suddenly and cause higher blood pressure than does primary hypertension. Various conditions and medications can lead to secondary hypertension, including:
Obstructive sleep apnea
Kidney problems
Adrenal gland tumors
Thyroid problems
Certain defects you're born with (congenital) in blood vessels
Certain medications, such as birth control pills, cold remedies, decongestants, over-the-counter pain relievers and some prescription drugs
Illegal drugs, such as cocaine and amphetamines
Risk factors
High blood pressure has many risk factors, including:
Age. The risk of high blood pressure increases as you age. Until about age 64, high blood pressure is more common in men. Women are more likely to develop high blood pressure after age 65.
Race. High blood pressure is particularly common among people of African heritage, often developing at an earlier age than it does in whites. Serious complications, such as stroke, heart attack and kidney failure, also are more common in people of African heritage.
Family history. High blood pressure tends to run in families.
Being overweight or obese. The more you weigh the more blood you need to supply oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. As the volume of blood circulated through your blood vessels increases, so does the pressure on your artery walls.
Not being physically active. People who are inactive tend to have higher heart rates. The higher your heart rate, the harder your heart must work with each contraction and the stronger the force on your arteries. Lack of physical activity also increases the risk of being overweight.
Using tobacco. Not only does smoking or chewing tobacco immediately raise your blood pressure temporarily, but the chemicals in tobacco can damage the lining of your artery walls. This can cause your arteries to narrow and increase your risk of heart disease. Secondhand smoke also can increase your heart disease risk.
Too much salt (sodium) in your diet. Too much sodium in your diet can cause your body to retain fluid, which increases blood pressure.
Too little potassium in your diet. Potassium helps balance the amount of sodium in your cells. If you don't get enough potassium in your diet or retain enough potassium, you may accumulate too much sodium in your blood.
Drinking too much alcohol. Over time, heavy drinking can damage your heart. Having more than one drink a day for women and more than two drinks a day for men may affect your blood pressure.
If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men. One drink equals 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor.
Stress. High levels of stress can lead to a temporary increase in blood pressure. If you try to relax by eating more, using tobacco or drinking alcohol, you may only increase problems with high blood pressure.
Certain chronic conditions. Certain chronic conditions also may increase your risk of high blood pressure, such as kidney disease, diabetes and sleep apnea.
Sometimes pregnancy contributes to high blood pressure, as well.
Although high blood pressure is most common in adults, children may be at risk, too. For some children, high blood pressure is caused by problems with the kidneys or heart. But for a growing number of kids, poor lifestyle habits, such as an unhealthy diet, obesity and lack of exercise, contribute to high blood pressure.
The excessive pressure on your artery walls caused by high blood pressure can damage your blood vessels, as well as organs in your body. The higher your blood pressure and the longer it goes uncontrolled, the greater the damage.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to complications including:
Heart attack or stroke. High blood pressure can cause hardening and thickening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to a heart attack, stroke or other complications.
Aneurysm. Increased blood pressure can cause your blood vessels to weaken and bulge, forming an aneurysm. If an aneurysm ruptures, it can be life-threatening.
Heart failure. To pump blood against the higher pressure in your vessels, the heart has to work harder. This causes the walls of the heart's pumping chamber to thicken (left ventricular hypertrophy). Eventually, the thickened muscle may have a hard time pumping enough blood to meet your body's needs, which can lead to heart failure.
Weakened and narrowed blood vessels in your kidneys. This can prevent these organs from functioning normally.
Thickened, narrowed or torn blood vessels in the eyes. This can result in vision loss.
Metabolic syndrome. This syndrome is a cluster of disorders of your body's metabolism, including increased waist circumference; high triglycerides; low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol; high blood pressure and high insulin levels. These conditions make you more likely to develop diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Trouble with memory or understanding. Uncontrolled high blood pressure may also affect your ability to think, remember and learn. Trouble with memory or understanding concepts is more common in people with high blood pressure.
Dementia. Narrowed or blocked arteries can limit blood flow to the brain, leading to a certain type of dementia (vascular dementia). A stroke that interrupts blood flow to the brain also can cause vascular dementia.

'Red Lipstick' Meets Metal: Rihanna Samples Metallica on Bonus Track
Good girl gone bad Rihanna is embracing her dark side once more on 'Talk That Talk.' The record-breaking pop superstar sampled Metallica on a bonus track of her buzzed-about new album.
Blabbermouth reported that RiRi used riffs from the metal legends' track 'Wherever I May Roam' on 'Red Lipstick,' available on the 'Talk That Talk' deluxe edition. 'Wherever I May Roam' was on Metallica's 1991 self-titled album (often referred to as 'the black album,' not to be confused with the one by RiRi's mentor, Jay-Z). The track also samples sounds from electronic duo Chase & Status' song 'Saxon.'
The Metallica sample isn't the Bajan beauty's first foray into rock. Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver legend Slash contributed to 'Rockstar 101′ from her fourth album, 'Rated R.'
'Red Lipstick' is equally R-rated — or possibly X. Idolator snagged snippets of Ri's bonus tracks, and this one is particularly raunchy. In just the few seconds that you can hear below, she snarls, "Let me grab my d— while you sit on top / Do you right here while the whole world's watching."
We're guessing she doesn't kiss her mother with that mouth. If she did, all her 'Red Lipstick' would smudge.

Why do bacterial cell walls containing peptides with D-amino acids often escape digestion by the proteases that other organisms use to kill bacteria?
Not really clear why it has to be.
Such an escape can be achieved if we make two assumptions:
1. The organisms use a protease which recognizes "usual" L-amino acids.
2. The oligopeptide bridges of peptidoglycan contain only D-amino acids.
Then L-peptidase cannot digest D-amino acid bridge.
Let's look at Bacteria cell wall.
Chemical structure of peptidoglycan:
Diversity of peptidoglycan( Brock Biology of Microorganisms, 11th edition, p77):
a. Glycan portion of peptidoglycan is conserved between all types: only N-Acetylglucoseamine (G) and N-acetylmuramic acid build the threads.
b. Tetrapeptide portion shows major variation in only one aminoacid: DAP-Lysine acid variation ( For example, most gram-negative Bacteria have DAP, whereas almost all gram-positive cocci have Lysine ).
Also, G-Glu at position 2 can be hydroxylated in some organisms.
c. Interbridge is responsible for most variation in peptidoglycan – there are more than 100 different peptidoglycan types are known.
Interbridge can have any of amino acids present in the tetrapeptide.
In addition, Glycine, Threonine, Serine and Aspartic acid can be found in interbridge.
However, branched-chain amino acids, aromatic amino acids, sulfur-containing amino acids, and histidine, arginine, and proline are never found in the interbrige.
In any case, L-Lys and D-Ala at positions 3 and 4 accordingly will be seemingly present in any type of glycopeptide representing a site for any kind of peptidase to attack.
Let's check archaeal cell wall.
There are two types of structures found in archaeal cell wall:
• S-Layer
• Pseudopeptidoglycan
No exact info was found for S-layer.
Chemical structure of pseudopeptidoglycan:
Thus, archaeal cell walls are possibly more attack-prone by any other organism which for sure will have some L-amino acid protease.

News Corp. Shuts Off Hulu Access to Cablevision Customers–And Turns It Back On [UPDATED]
UPDATE: That was fast. People familiar with the situation say that News Corp. is changing tactics and will turn on access to Fox.com and Fox programming on Hulu for Cablevision's customers. This could take a "few hours" to roll out across the Cablevision footprint, I'm told.
One new twist in the Cablevision-News Corp. fight: News Corp. has cut off Cablevision subscribers' access to its shows on Hulu, the video site joint venture, as well as on its own Fox.com.
Here's a screenshot from Fortune.com columnist Seth Weintraub, taken this afternoon when he tried to watch a Fox show on the site, which is co-owned by News Corp., Disney's ABC and GE's NBC Universal:
News Corp.'s comment, via Fox Networks PR guy Scott Grogin: "Fox.com and Fox content on hulu is unavailable to Cablevision subscribers."
And here's Hulu PR rep Elisa Schreiber:
Unfortunately, we were put in a position of needing to block Fox content on Hulu in order to remain neutral during contract negotiations between Fox and Cablevision. This only includes Fox content. All other Hulu content is accessible to Cablevision internet subscribers. We regret the impact on Cablevision customers and look forward to returning Fox content to those users as soon as possible.
This is an important escalation from News Corp. (which owns this Web site) in its fight to extract more dollars from its cable partners.
In the past, cable subscribers who couldn't get Fox shows during fee disputes were still able to watch some of them via Hulu. I know that News Corp. has discussed shutting off access to the site during past fee fights, but as far as I know this is the first time they've actually done it.
It's also a logical move, at least from News Corp.'s perspective.
If it's trying to increase the pain felt by Cablevision and its subscribers, it may as well use every tool it has. And in the past, the Web has been used against programmers like Fox in these fights: Last year, when Time Warner Cable was fighting with News Corp., it prepared a video showing customers how to find their favorite shows on sites like Hulu.
But while the move is certain to rile up the digerati (astonished industry executive to me, over the phone, just now: "That is crazy!) I'm not sure how much real impact it will have in the fight.
News Corp.'s most valuable weapon is access to the Phillies-Giants playoff game tonight, and the New York Giants-Detroit Lions game tomorrow.
Both are scheduled to air on Fox, and many of Cablevision's three million subscribers who live in the New York area will holler loudly if they can't see them. But they wouldn't be able to see them on Hulu or Fox.com, anyway.
Instead, those sites are used to show reruns of Fox broadcast shows. That means Cablevision subs can't see Sunday night's episode of "The Simpsons" on Monday, but that's not the same kind of impact.

An all-new Range Rover from Land Rover is always a big deal. It is 42 years since the original luxury off-roader drove into our consciousness, forever changing off-road vehicles. Taking the original concept of utilitarian four-wheel-drives it added comfort, refinement and luxury and, in quick time, the badge grew to be both aspirational and admired. And the new Range Rover – available in Australia next February - is only the fourth generation. It's 10 years since the last one, which incidentally, has been selling strongly in the twilight of its life.
Over the years, the Range Rover evolved as a rival to the extravagance and refinement of big saloons such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but always with the added ability - an unquestioned gift to go off the beaten track.
To mess up the new Range Rover would be an absolute disaster. Feedback from loyal, sometimes fanatical owners produced an unambiguous directive: don't change it; just make it better.
They've changed it, of course. But only where they could improve it.
Superficially, it can be nothing but a Range Rover, though with more arresting styling, and with proportions that surpasses its predecessors, though it's barely bigger externally. The detailing outside and the ever-grander interior presentation and trim materials combine to seduce like never before, and that's before the driving begins.
Beautifully-stitched leather all around the cabin, including the roof gives the impression of class. The working area has been cleaned up with 50 per cent fewer switches. There's a top-of-the-range 29-speaker Meridian audio system. Soft-close doors are included.
Welcome, too, is the expanded rear passenger compartment where occupants will find more generous knee room. The additional 40mm in wheelbase has been donated to those in the very comfortable back seats, who now have 120mm more legroom. The seats now recline. The rear isn't spacious like any of the big Germans but acknowledging those who like being chauffeured shows Range Rover is now more serious about stealing customers away from the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E- and S-Class, Audi A6 and A8, and BMW 5- and 7-Series. Like those it's strictly a five-seater, but more comfortable with only two in the rear.
These may not seem to be natural rivals but many owners see the Range Rover as a high-riding saloon. They enjoy viewing the world from up high, insulated from engine and road noise by a level of pure refinement not reached previously.
It's so eerily quiet that you're convinced you can hear the sound of the digital clock ticking…
The Land Rover engineers admit they've hushed it so much that they are hearing noises they were never aware of previously.
Land Rover has also done a stunning job of isolating the cabin from extraneous noise. All three engines are hard to identify aurally when at idle, and their sounds never really intrude when accelerating hard. Gear shifts, up and down, are barely perceptible.
Most significantly, the new Range Rover has shed up to 420kg (depending on the model) by switching to an aluminium body. The diet has brought a more agile and stronger device with improved fuel economy and swifter acceleration.
Land Rover conducted some suspension tuning at the old Nurburgring although its engineers are quick to say they don't give a fig about lap times. Peerless handling was not an absolute priority, though the latest Range Rover is better than ever on-road, and with dynamics far superior to those rollicking first two generation models.
With less weight to toss about when cornering vigorously on the open road, it is more composed and precise. Sure, you know you're sitting high in the saddle, but it's stable, easily shrugging off crosswinds but not quite matching the on-road poise of a sportier BMW X5 or a Porsche Cayenne. Nothing in the luxury segment, though, will equal its astonishing capacity off-road, as we experienced so graphically during our testing two-day appraisal in challenging conditions in Morocco.
Low-range gearing was a salvation in the brutal going.
We also got to use and appreciate the revised Terrain Response system, which analyses the driving conditions and automatically selects the most suitable vehicle settings, instantly and constantly configuring torque delivery, anti-lock brakes, traction, throttle, transmission and suspension electronics to suit. The driver may also choose from a list of five – including rock and sand crawling, mud, gravel and snow.
Approach angle (34.5 degrees) and departure angle (29.5 degrees are improved, though the breakover angle has shrunk marginally to 28.3 degrees. The underfloor is smooth so it doesn't snag on rocks. Ground clearance is up another 13mm to 246mm and the self-levelling (and height adjustable) air suspension has more travel. A press of a button will raise the ride height for off-road work. Or lower it for easier access or egress.
Racing over Moroccan sand dune climbs and descents (with standard tyres and recommended pressures), and sloppy clay, was a cinch. The degree of difficulty then rose alarmingly as we bounced along a jarring and slippery boulder-strewn river bed near Marrakech – with the muddy water belting along at a fair rate. Jolting over the unfriendly terrain with water rolling up over the big square bonnet didn't faze the Range Rover; after all it has a wading potential of up to 900mm.
The damage: a couple of punctured tyres, jagged on rocks as sharp as Paul Keating's invective, and a few front number plates torn free by the rush of water.
The exercise, though worrying at times (especially when one vehicle got into a dodgy sideways lean angle), was an irrefutable demonstration of the Range Rover's go-almost-anywhere capability. We did note too that the standard M and S rated (mud and snow) tyres have tread patterns with a clear bias towards highway running.
A realigned line-up of three stonking alloy engines starts with an impressive and efficient twin-turbo diesel 3.0-litre V6 with 190kW/600Nm – more than a sufficiency for any chore asked off it, be it eating up the highway, trundling across farmland, or towing (3500kg trailer capacity). The effortless torque is available just when needed, due in part to the eight-speed auto gearbox, with paddle shifts and a Sport mode.
The weight reduction has helped the V6 diesel to a thrifty urban/rural fuel consumption claim of 7.5 litres/100km.
Land Rover Australia anticipates the V6 diesel will prove the most popular of the three engine specifications. We agree. Any buyer needing more than 600Nm of torque for towing, or cruising or even going off road is just plain greedy.
Still, the two V8s, 4.4-litre turbodiesel and 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol, will have their adherents, even at $224,400. Why? Because they can, maybe.
The supercharged petrol V8 continues as the alpha male of the species, with effortless acceleration from the 375kW/625Nm engine. That's more than enough urge to tow Dobbin to the polo.
In all three versions, selecting the Sport mode using the pop-up rotary gear selector we know from other Land Rovers and Jaguars), enlivens proceedings no end, sharpening the steering, firming the variable dampers, and changing transmission parameters to hold gears. Driving in this mode will probably please sporty drivers but they're more likely to wait for the new lighter, hotter-performing Range Rover Sport model due next year.
Active anti roll bars front and rear (optional on the V6 but standard on both V8s) interact with the stability control system to assist other dynamic elements to minimise body roll and, as a result, aid cornering poise. After all, even though it's been on a magical diet, the Range Rover still tips the scales at 2160-2330kg, depending on engine and equipment.
Traditionalists love the versatile split rear tailgate. This time it's power operated, opens remotely and closes with a tap on a button. A full sized spare is standard.
Better that the new vehicle is – way better – it isn't quite perfect. The electro-mechanical steering is a step up from the last model, and drivers will appreciate the great accuracy especially near the straight-ahead position. Still, a little more road connectivity and reduced turns lock-to-lock would be welcomed. Rear passengers miss out on grab handles, a necessity when off-road or punting along on a highway. And Drive believes the door handles and power window lifters could be better located. Owners no doubt will live with these slight quibbles.
The serene new Range Rover is arguably the world's best luxury SUV. It's a shame the majority of its Australian owners will never discover its brillant capabilities off road.

177. FRIDA KAHLO: Strange like me
UPDATE (MARCH 2016): After months of research and deliberation with the Frida Kahlo estate, I have found that this quote has been misattributed to Frida Kahlo. Soon after posting the original comic, I was contacted by Rebecca Martin, who claimed that she was the author of the quote and that it had been mistakingly attributed to Kahlo. After doing my own research and reading the English translation of Kahlo's diary (where this quote is supposedly from) I sided with Rebecca, but I wanted to be sure before I made any changes to the comic. So I enlisted the help of the Internet's most-respected quote finder: the Quote Investigator. His website is dedicated to tracking down the origins of misattributed quotes. He generously agreed to conduct his own research and came to the same conclusion, that this quote has been misattributed to Kahlo. In short, Rebecca is a huge fan of Frida Kahlo and was inspired by her to write this quote and pasted it on a picture of Kahlo (which is where the confusion began) and submitted it to the popular blog PostSecret. You can read the Quote Investigator's full report here. I know this news might be disappointing to some of you who have always believed that it came from Kahlo, but I think it reinforces the message of the comic: that Kahlo continues to inspire new generations of young women, including Rebecca Martin.
Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was a Mexican painter. Unlike the figure from my previous comic, the stoic Marcus Aurelius, Frida was the exact opposite. Her life was ruled by emotion, passion, love and suffering. She was a remarkable woman, whom I was completely ignorant about until a friend of mine suggested I adapt one of her quotes (shout out to Morganna).
Frida painted mostly self-portraits. As she said "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best." Her portraits were deeply personal and haunting. Although her style is described as surrealist, Frida stated "They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality." Her portraits were raw emotion on canvas, depicting the unfiltered thoughts and feelings of its creator which were more often than not, pain and anguish.
Frida's life was filled with physical suffering. She contracted polio at a young age, which caused her right leg to be much skinnier than her left, and led to severe spinal problems. Frida suffered "two grave accidents" in her life. The first as an 18-year-old, when the bus she was riding in with her boyfriend was struck by a trolley car. Frida was impaled by a handrail, the pole entering her left torso and exiting her vagina. Her spinal column, pelvis, collarbone and ribs were broken, her right leg was shattered and foot crushed. It was only during her recovery, while bedridden, did she start painting.
Frida's second "grave accident" was meeting her husband Diego Rivera, who was a famous painter and nicknamed the 'Michaelango of Mexico'. Frida first saw him when she was 15 and he was 36. Rivera was hired by Frida's school to paint a mural. Frida proclaimed her love for him to a friend then and there. Their marriage was intense and tumultuous. Both had numerous affairs, Frida with both men and women (including one with communist revolutionary Leon Trotsky). Frida was obsessed with Diego, and the state of their relationship influenced many of her paintings, for instance in her piece Diego And I.
Frida's later years were hindered by more physical problems. She had numerous surgeries to repair her damaged spine and went on to have two spinal fusions (her painting The Broken Column from this time). Complications from the surgery left her right leg gangrene, which had to be amputated in 1953.
Despite a lifetime of pain and turmoil, Frida still led an exciting life, mingling with famous revolutionaries and artists. And she had a force of personality and soaring spirit that seemed to make her irresistible to nearly everyone she met. Frida famously wrote in her diary after finding out that her leg had to be amputated: "Feet, what do I need them for? If I have wings to fly."
The paintings I used in the comic are Self Portrait with Monkeys, Self Portrait (1941) and her most famous work The Two Fridas. The physical characteristics Frida was most proud of were her unibrow and moustache, which she carefully groomed with a comb.

I'm puzzled. I very rarely have competing feelings of being driven to lunging my head over a toilet and yet feeling inspired and impressed all at the same time. This car (?) makes me do this, and it can be yours for $100,000 – or a partial trade for a Fisker Karma, apparently.
From the eBay posting:
You are looking at a vehicle which receives more pictures taken of it on a daily basis then any lamborghini or ferrari I have ever driven. This car is Fun on 4 hidden wheels all day long, It is hard to describe the positive attention this car brings, You can instantly become involved in just about any event you chose. I have found that almost every person who has shown above average interest in the car has brought their friend or friends/ family to come see the car as well, And everyone knows someone fun, which is the exact person they want to show this car too so the cycle goes on and on.
I have met so many professional sports guys and gals, models, tv and movie talent, unique business owners and the list goes on...
You don't say.
I have built this car from scratch, the body is made from fiberglass and carbon with a one inch steel tubular chassis. The craftsmanship under the fiberglass is equal to the exterior looks of this car and it needs to be for the car to stay as nice as it is. This is not a kit car, this is a manufactured car, Where I have had all of the glass made to DOT specs and everything is street legal in Florida I know for sure.
I'm sure you have the proper paperwork.
The drivetrain in this car is a 2.2 liter 4 cyl chevy motor with a supercharger, so it is pretty fast with 270 HP, and it averages 26mpg. The ride is smooth and solid and reliable. I have driven the car on drives for over two hours on the interstate without any issues.
Over TWO HOURS? FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...
The length of the car for size comparison is longer then a Lamborghini LP640, and the car is wider then a Bugatti veyron.
He certainly knows his target market.
PS, I will also accept a Karma Fisker as partial trade in towards this car, I have wanted one of those for a little while now.
I dunno. A [heavily] rebodied '08 Chevy HHR for a Fisker Karma – partial trade?
In all honesty, I think this is one of the cooler things I've seen all year. The guy honestly has a passion and talent for this kind of thing, albeit 110% polarizing in this particular car's final form. An artist nonetheless.
Anybody have any clue who this cat is? I want to buy him a round of absinthe. Find him.

Man dies in UW-Milwaukee dorm room; student arrested
Student arrested, not yet charged
Prosecutors are exploring homicide charges against a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student after a family friend died in his dormitory room.
The victim is 56-year-old Timothy Stanczyk of Watertown.
According to the medical examiner's report, UW-Milwaukee police were called to the scene about 11 p.m. Monday, when a 19-year-old freshman student -- Stanczyk's friend or possibly even relative -- called to say he was unresponsive in his dorm room.
The medical examiner's report indicated Stanczyk was found sitting at the student's dorm room desk, where he was pronounced dead.
The report noted there was no trauma, however drug paraphernalia, including a tourniquet, was found on the desk.
The medical examiner listed the manner of death as accidental, but results of toxicology tests aren't yet available.
WISN 12 News was told UW-Milwaukee police arrested the student because told they had probable cause he provided drugs to the victim.
The student hasn't been formally charged, but police referred him to the district attorney for first-degree reckless homicide and failure to render aid to a victim.
Vice Chancellor for University Relations Tom Luljak said police were investigating the incident as a drug overdose.
"What our police tell us right now is there is probable cause the student who was involved in this went out and got some drugs and gave them to the fellow who ultimately became a victim here," Luljak said.
Student Dominic Parks said he knows the student who is suspected of providing drugs to the victim.
"I just see him around the smoke deck some times, and he's just a regular guy," Parks said. "It surprised me about a death so close near me. I'm from the Green Bay-area, and not too many deaths happen like overdosing."
Other students said they were just as shocked.
"I guess it's not really surprising, because it's everywhere," student Zan Thompson said. "But, I mean, to have a heroin-like overdose where we live is kind of surprising."
WISN 12 News reporter Nick Bohr spoke with UW-Milwaukee officials late Wednesday afternoon, who told him they don't believe any other students were involved, that this was apparently a situation between these two individuals involving drugs and don't believe any students are in danger.

Dungey Wins Salt Lake City Supercross
OutdoorHub 04.29.12
Salt Lake City, UT – In only his second week back after returning from injury, Red Bull/KTM Factory rider Ryan Dungey claimed his third Supercross class victory of the season as he crossed the finish line first at the Salt Lake City Supercross.
Dungey's day started with mixed emotions. He was able to pull off the fastest lap time in the afternoon qualifiers but also had to skip out on the part of a practice session after a collision with another rider caused damage to his bike. Luckily, the Red Bull/KTM Team was prepared for the problem and quickly set to work to repair his bike and make sure it was ready for the main event.
Dungey easily qualified into the main event and was ready to begin his quest toward his third win of the season. He got off to a great start and was sitting in 3rd place after lap one. He quickly began to close in on the 2nd place ride of Jake Weimer and the two began a battle for the position. After swapping for the position, the two riders made contact near the halfway point of the race which caused Dungey to crash. He quickly recovered without losing a position and became even more determined to charge his way to the front.
With only four laps remaining he was able to make a pass on Weimer to take over 2nd place. He then spent the next two laps reeling in the lead ride of Davi Millsaps. With two laps remaining he made the pass for the lead and went on to claim his third victory of the season and the third for the KTM brand in Supercross racing.
"It feels great to take another win tonight," remarked Dungey. "It is an even greater accomplishment to take this win after recovering from my collar bone injury. It solidifies that we made the right choice to come back to racing and finish out the Supercross Series before heading to outdoors. I just really want to thank my team tonight. They did a great job getting my bike ready and I couldn't have won without them."
Dungey and his team will now head to Las Vegas, NV for the final round of the series to be held May 5, 2012 at Sam Boyd Stadium.

Lemon Meringue Pie Cupcakes
For the lemon curd
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1 teaspoon fresh grated lemon zest
For the cupcake batter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 tablespoon fresh grated lemon zest
1 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup milk
For the meringue
3 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
To make the lemon curd
In a heat-proof bowl, whisk lemon juice, eggs, egg yolk and sugar until smooth. Add butter and place bowl over a pot of simmering water. Whisking gently, cook mixture until it thickens and leaves a ribbon when whisk is lifted - this can take anywhere from 8 to 20 minutes depending on how high the heat is set and how cold the ingredients were. Remove from heat and push through a fine mesh strainer. Fold in lemon zest, cover with plastic wrap and thoroughly chill before using.
To make the cupcakes
Preheat oven to 375
In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, rub together the lemon zest and sugar with your fingers until the zest is evenly distributed and the sugar takes on a light yellow hue. Add butter and cream together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture alternately with the milk - beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Evenly divide batter between 24 paper-lined muffin cups - they should be roughly half full.
Bake until cake springs back when lightly touched in the center and is just beginning to get a golden hue - about 16 to 20 minutes. Remove and place cupcakes on a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the meringue
In a large mixing bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Slowly add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and continue whipping until egg whites hold stiff peaks when beaters are lifted.
To assemble the cupcakes
Preheat oven to 400
Place cupcakes on a large baking sheet. Use a paring knife to cut out a small cone out of the center of each cupcake. Pipe about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the lemon curd into each cupcake. Spoon dollops of meringue over the curd on each cupcake. Bake until the tops of the meringues brown - about 4 to 6 minutes.
Makes 24 cupcakes.

How do you make the peaks in the meringue?ReplyDelete
Anon - Just make sure that the meringue is stiff, but not dry - all I used was an off-set spatula to lift the meringue up into peaks!ReplyDelete
I would like to say that, while these cupcakes are time-consuming and work-intensive, they are the BEST CUPCAKES EVER. I bring baked goods to work often, and these have made the biggest splash. Months later people still ask after them. Nice one.ReplyDelete

I am making these for my mom's birthday. The custard is cooling and cupcakes are baking. So far, so good..great actually! I am wondering about storage. Do they need to be refrigerated? Can I wait until tomorrow to fill and top them with meringue? Thanks for the recipe!ReplyDelete
Sarah - I don't see a problem keeping the cupcakes themselves stored at room temperature (in an air-tight container!) and then filling them with the curd tomorrow!ReplyDelete
I'm making these for the third time... how long will the lemon curd keep for if I don't use it all?ReplyDelete
Julie - Maybe a week or so in the refrigerator? However, lemon curd freezes so well, I would opt for that.ReplyDelete
I'm making these for a party, how far in advance do you think the merangue be OK for? Could I make them a few hours ahead?ReplyDelete
JCD - Meringue needs to be used pretty much after you make it. If I would suggest anything, I would put it on the cupcakes, then wait until right before you serve them to brown the tops off. I've never tried this, though, so I can't be sure how well it would work.ReplyDelete

Ali Mau, Greg Boyed, and Jesse Mulligan will host TV ONE's new 7pm show, Seven Sharp.
TVNZ Head of News and Current Affairs Ross Dagan says the Seven Sharp presenting line-up is an experienced team with strong journalistic pedigree, who collectively personify all of the attributes of the new show.
"We have brought together an enthusiastic team of presenters with unsurpassed news and current affairs credentials and the proven ability to be entertaining. We are confident this team will tell compelling stories in a refreshing way that will engage New Zealand viewers. Seven Sharp will reflect the day's events with smart thinking, different viewpoints, and plenty of laughs along the way.
"We are pleased to appoint two of the three presenters from within TVNZ's pool of talent and to welcome Jesse to the TVNZ team."
Ali is one of New Zealand's longest serving and most respected journalists, and her most recent role with TVNZ has been as the co-host of long-running consumer affairs show Fair Go.
"I'm thrilled to be part of this, particularly as the Seven Sharp team is such a strong one both journalistically and creatively. I'm really looking forward to working alongside Greg and Jesse in the studio, both of whom bring a wicked sense of humour and depth of knowledge to the show. The only difficult part of the decision was leaving Fair Go, as I've loved it so much, and I'll miss working alongside my Fair Go colleagues day to day."
Greg has been a valued member of the TVNZ News and Current Affairs team for more than a decade with recent roles on ONE News at 6, Tonight and Q+A.
"I am really looking forward to being part of a brand spanking new show and having a bit of a rant and a ramble, in a way that I perhaps wasn't able to in my most recent roles. While I have loved reading the news and working on Q+A, I'm looking forward to providing a fresh perspective with Jesse and Ali at 7pm."
Jesse, who originally trained as a lawyer, is a well-known and respected writer and comedian, and has for the last three years been head writer and panellist on TV3's 7 Days. In addition to comedy and broadcasting, Mulligan has also worked as a journalist, public relations practitioner and food critic. He has a particular interest in social media.
"I'm delighted and excited to be part of TV ONE's new approach to 7pm. Being on every night really gives you an opportunity to build a relationship with your audience and workmates - it's a cool and unique opportunity, and I'm stoked to be on the team."
While Seven Sharp is not due on air for another few weeks, Executive Producer Raewyn Rasch says the show is already coming together well.
"We are well-advanced in the production planning stages of Seven Sharp, and have a great catalogue of stories already underway that we are raring to go with. We are really excited at the shape the show is taking."
Announcements on who will replace Ali Mau on Fair Go and Greg Boyed on Tonight will be made in the coming weeks.

A series of studies suggests that low-fat milk may not be the answer for helping kids maintain a healthy weight.
Experts do agree that milk is a valuable source of calcium and vitamin D for growing children, which helps build up young bones.
However, those who once thought skim milk was better for children, verses the extra calories in whole milk, are now rethinking the concept.
For more than seven years, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have both recommended that children drink a low-fat milk after age two, according to an article on healthlandtime.com.
The article sites a study published in the "Archives of Disease in Childhood", which says that scientists now believe skim milk is a poor tool to combat obesity.
Experts and parents have always believed the lighter varieties would be a better choice for obese children, but some studies found no relationship between the type of milk preschoolers drank and their body weight. One study even said that children who drink skim milk were heavier than whole milk-drinking children.
The article suggest that the added calories in whole milk may not be an important contributor to weight gain among young children. "Our original hypothesis was that children who drank high-fat milk, either whole milk or 2% would be heavier because they were consuming more saturated fat calories. We were really surprised when we looked at the data and it was very clear that within every ethnicity and every socioeconomic strata, that it was actually the opposite, that children who drank skim milk and 1% were heavier than those who drank 2% and whole," said Dr. Mark Daniel DeBoer, an associate professor of pediatric endocrinology at the University of Virginia School of Medicine.
To find out more about the studies, read the full article on healthlandtime.com.

The United Nations has "never been so needed" to deal with the planet's most pressing challenges, from the impact of climate change to growing demands for human rights to helping people facing humanitarian crises, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told a year-end press conference yesterday.
"This has been an extraordinary and remarkable year," Mr. Ban told journalists at UN Headquarters in New York, citing the so-called Arab Spring, the birth of South Sudan as a new nation and UN Member State, and promising political developments in Myanmar as examples.
"I believe we are at an inflection point in history. All is changing. The old rules are breaking down. We do not know what new order will emerge. Yet we can be confident: the United Nations will be at the fore."
Mr. Ban, who completes his first term as Secretary-General on 31 December, said that since he became the UN chief in January 2007 he has "sought to advance a practical, action-oriented vision of the UN as the voice of the voiceless and the defender of the defenceless."
He said the UN spoke out "early and forcefully" as the Arab Spring unfolded across the Middle East and North Africa, "calling on leaders to hear the voices of their people."
The Organization "played an essential role in the liberation of Libya. We stand ready to continue to help Tunisia and Egypt at their request. The agreement mediated by our UN envoy in Yemen sets the stage for an end to fighting – and the creation of a new government of national unity."
The Secretary-General noted that events in hotspots worldwide "continue to test our resolve" and demand a concerted, united response from the international community.
"In Syria, more than 5,000 people are dead. This cannot go on. In the name of humanity, it is time for the international community to act," he said.
"In Afghanistan, we face continued insecurity. Last week's conference in Bonn re-affirmed the international community's commitment to our partnership through 2014 and beyond. With the help of the [Middle East diplomatic] Quartet, we must continue to push for peace between Israel and Palestine. In the Horn of Africa, people still face famine."
But he stressed that the UN had helped ensure substantial progress on several fronts, including at the recent climate change talks in Durban, South Africa, and in advancing the principle of "responsibility to protect."
"In Côte d'Ivoire, [former president] Laurent Gbagbo sought to subvert the will of his people. We stood firm for democracy – and today he is in The Hague. We stood, as well, against Muammar al-Qadhafi when he vowed to slaughter his people like 'rats.'
"These are important victories for justice and international law. During the last five years, we have stood repeatedly for accountability against impunity. We have strengthened the rule of law and the International Criminal Court (ICC), now ratified by 120 nations with more soon to come."
Mr. Ban – who will next month outline a plan of action for his second term in office – also noted that an increased UN emphasis on preventive diplomacy and mediation has "produced encouraging results," in countries as diverse as Sierra Leone, Kyrgyzstan, Cyprus, Nepal and Guinea.
In addition, he cited a strengthened UN commitment to the rights of women and children, ongoing efforts to promote UN reform and preparations for the landmark conference on sustainable development to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in June next year.

This isn't something I'd normally do. These kinds of open request comps tend to be largely comprised of acts whose music no one else is willing to release. While I certainly fit snugly into this category, I by no means want to end up one of those people who submits to every open comp for this sort of thing that happens by. (one of the reasons I've never contributed to the IHM comps)
So why this and why now? Well, one, I love working under restrictions. There is something about limited formats that appeals to me. I also love gritty lo-fi sounds, and of course, tape. I also noticed in a quick glance-over that there is really not much like what I do on these comps, and in general I'm not seeing my approach to this kind of thing taken by anyone. So why not try and present something different?
Over vacation, I've been recording a bit with my microcassette recorder, trying to come up with a track that is the right combination of length, and musical interest. So far the length thing has been the most difficult. The approach I decided to take here is similar to what I've been doing recently in general; using only the object of focus produce sounds, usually by means of some form of preparation, with as little "gesture" as possible. The object of this approach is to (hopefully) produce music that is not only interesting, but that unfolds as if it is happening by some natural process outside of human intervention. This is of course very difficult, and my success rate is spotty, but that's the goal.
In my attempts to produce something for the comp, I have generated a bunch of tracks that are just too long (I'm trying to play within the bounds without editing), though I find them all to be quite interesting in their own way. So I've decided to post them here for your enjoyment. Enjoy!

Joomla!: Visual QuickStart Guide: Adding Articles
- Using the Article Managers
- Choosing an Editor
- Adding Articles
- Doing More with Articles
- Creating Article Menu Items
- Putting It All Together
Articles make up 90 percent of your site content. While site content is usually thought of as text and images, articles can also contain forms, video, entire photo galleries, links, modules, and even custom scripts such as Google or Facebook widgets. Any type of web medium can be placed into an article and placed on your site.
In this chapter, you'll learn how to create articles and assign them to categories, how to add media using the Media Manager and your editor, and how to control the display of articles using article menus.
Using the Article Managers
The Article Manager is directly connected to your Category and Featured Article Managers and allows you to navigate between them while developing content for your site.
The one requirement when creating articles is that all articles must be assigned to a category, so you first need to create your categories. Without categories, you will not be able to save an article. If you haven't chosen your categories, you can assign articles to the uncategorised category.
To use the Article Manager:
- Log in to the back end.
- Choose Content > Article Manager, or click the Article Manager icon on the Control Panel page.
The Article Manager: Articles opens with links to Articles, Categories, and Featured Articles Managers .
In the Article Manager you can create, edit, publish, unpublish, archive, check in, or delete any article created for the site.
Featured articles are simply articles you have marked as featured. A featured article is listed in both the Article Manager and the Featured Article Manager.
To sort, filter, or search articles:
- Open the Article Manager.
Because a site generally contains numerous articles, you'll usually want to apply the sort and filter options in the Article Manager. Like all managers, you can use either the sort fields or the column headings to do so, and sort the article lists by State, Category, Access Level, Author, or Language.
- From the Select Category drop-down list, choose Components .
Selecting a category from the Select Category sort field will sort the Article Manager to display only those articles directly assigned to a single category.
The Article Manager now displays only those articles assigned to the Components category .
One thing the sort fields don't do, at the time of this writing, is display articles assigned to subcategories of a selected category.
- From the Select Category drop-down list, choose Modules.
No articles are displayed in the Article Manager because no articles are directly assigned to the Modules category. Articles can be assigned to only a single category regardless of whether the category is a parent, child, or grandchild category.
- From the Select Category drop-down list, choose Content Modules.
No articles are directly assigned to the parent category Modules, but Content Modules—the subcategory or child category of Modules—does have articles assigned. Those articles appear in the list only when the Content Modules category is directly selected.
- Reset the Select Category drop-down list to Select Category.
- In the Title column, click the word "Title."
If you are looking for an article and know its category, state, or author, you can click the column headings to sort the list by ascending or descending order. By clicking Title, the articles are now listed alphabetically .
- In the Filter field, type Article and then click Search.
If you know any part of an article's title, you can use the Filter field to search for the article .
- Click Clear to display all articles again.
- Click the Featured Articles link to open Article Manager: Featured Articles .
The Featured Article Manager displays only articles marked as featured. However, all featured articles are also displayed in the Article Manager.
- Scroll to the bottom of the Article Manager screen.
- From the Display # drop-down list, choose 10.
Using the pagination at the bottom of the manager can also help sort article lists for a more manageable display .

The Immortal Count: The Life and Films of Bela Lugosi
University Press of Kentucky, 2003 - 548 páginas
Bela Lugosi won immediate fame for his portrayal of the immortal count in the 1931 film Dracula. After a decade of trying vainly to broaden his range and secure parts to challenge his acting abilities, Lugosi resigned himself to a career as the world's most recognizable vampire. His last years were spent as a forgotten and rather tragic figure. When he died in 1956, Lugosi could not have known that vindication of his talent would come -- his face would adorn theaters, his image would appear on greeting cards and postage stamps, his film memorabilia would sell for more than he earned in his entire career, and his Hungarian accent would be instantly recognized by millions of people.
Martin Landau's Oscar-winning role as Lugosi in the 1994 film Ed Wood added an ironic twist to a career that had ended in oblivion. In 1974, devoted Lugosi fan Arthur Lennig published a highly regarded biography of the unsung actor. More than twice the length of the original and completely rewritten, The Immortal Count provides deeper insights into Lugosi's films and personality. Drawing upon personal interviews, studio memos, shooting scripts, research in Romania and Hungary, and his own recollections, Lennig has written the definitive account of Lugosi's tragic life.

Australian defender Eddy Bosnar's free kick goal for Korean squad Suwon Bluewings may be a new record holder for velocity after scoring Sunday against Ulsan.
That's according to Korean site TVReport, which measured Bosnar's kick as having an average speed of 121.68 km/h—apparently enough to beat various claimants to the title, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Juninho, and personal favorite Hulk.
These sorts of things are difficult to measure, of course, without a radar or laser gun. TVReport's claim uses distances; while the YouTube video isn't of enough resolution to measure it perfectly, we were able to ascertain the speed the ball traveled through the box at 118.8 km/h using frame analysis. Given the ball had a higher velocity when kicked, 121.68 km/h sounds about right. Of course, there's plenty of ridiculous claims on the Internet of 200+ km/h kicks, and there's apparently no actual Guinness-certified record for the feat.
Bosnar, previously of Dinamo Zagreb (and who earned a paycheck from Everton for a brief period), led Suwon to a 2-1 win and the Bluewings currently sit atop the K-League standings.

Theme and Objectives
ICASA 2011 Theme
Own, Scale-up and Sustain
ICASA 2011 – Objectives
- Serve as an advocacy platform to mobilize African leaders, partners and the communities to increase ownership, commitment and support to the response.
- Provide a forum for exchange of knowledge, skills and consolidation of experiences and best practices in Africa and around the globe to scale up evidence-based response on HIV/AIDS/STIs, TB and Malaria to achieve the MDGs.
- Use as a forum to link and hold accountable political and national leaders, the scientific community, practitioners, communities, civil societies, the private sector and partners to scale-up and sustain the response.
- Create opportunities to define priorities and set policy and program agenda to enhance mobilization and effective utilization of resources.
ICASA 2011 - Theme
- Owning encompasses playing the lead role in HIV/AIDS and STI prevention, treatment, care and support at policy, strategy, programs, implementation as well as M&E levels by the primary stakeholders.
- Due to the current global financial and economic crises, HIV and AIDS programs are facing funding challenges. Such challenges may entail a sliding back from what has been gained thus far in Africa with respect to containing the pandemic, and mitigating its impacts. Therefore the theme is an alert call and an attempt to draw attention to the urgent need to sustain.
- Since there is huge gaps in prevention, treatment, care and support, sustaining what has been achieved is not enough. Therefore, we cannot think of sustaining without enhancing scaling up of all responses in order to address the critical gaps.
