They began the game breathing their late lunch on the faces of the stunned young Tigers, swarming them into seven missed shots and two turnovers before they even scored their third basket.
"Hey," Bozeman announced afterward, "UCLA can still dunk the ball."
After scoring 39 points in the first half and grabbing a 15-point lead, they deflated everything in the second half and cruised to a victory so overwhelming, exhausted LSU folk hero Glen "Big Baby" Davis shoved Mbah a Moute right in front of an official for his fifth foul with 2:09 remaining.
Yeah, he fouled out on purpose.
"We couldn't get up," said Davis, who missed a dozen shots and a half-dozen free throws and was outrebounded by two smaller Bruins. "They kept on fighting, kept on fighting."
The Bruins were so relentless, the star of their last championship, Ed O'Bannon, rose to his feet and led the UCLA cheering section in an eight-clap.
"Look at those players' faces," said O'Bannon, standing in the corner of a locker room filled with surprised reporters interviewing shrugging kids.
"Tonight was the kind of game that gives them so much confidence, they don't think they can lose."
Look at their faces, indeed.
Mbah a Moute's freshman smile has become a veteran glare.
He bumped and grinded to dunks and steals and nine rebounds and 17 points and one whining Baby.
"My back hurts right now," Mbah a Moute said, smiling. "[Davis] is big."
Farmar's hesitant smile has become an outright sneer.
Running and firing off UCLA steals, he nailed a trio of three-pointers, leaving his hand dangling in the air after each of them, and had as many assists (four) as the entire LSU team combined.
"They're looking at each other, pointing fingers, sometimes eyes get real big, like a deer in the headlights," Farmar said of the Tigers.
Lorenzo Mata's face is, well, actually, it's impossible to see his face because he is wearing a mask to protect his freshly broken nose.
But when Mata, who still grabbed eight rebounds, was given a standing ovation after blocking one of Big Baby's shots, it appeared that he was smiling.
"Coach told us to come out and take their hearts out," Mata said. "We took their hearts out."

Growing Consumer Spending and Retail Stocks
Nate is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Well, color me – and everyone else in the news business – surprised. According to numbers released today retail spending was up for January over a year ago. This after pretty much every talking head thought the decrease in take home pay due to the expiration of the payroll tax cut would lead to less consumer spending. Huh.
The most likely reason for the continued strong spending is an improving economy and growing security on the part of workers that they'll keep their jobs. Nothing makes people not spend like a lack of job security. Except maybe a lack of a job, I'd guess.
Still, even though I've been confident that the American economy is on the way to a strong year, it's good to get the occasional fact that reinforces that notion. While I'm not much a one to shop at higher-end retailers the fact that people are doing so can only lead to a greater and faster recovery. The more people spend, the more people have jobs and therefore the more people are around who CAN spend. It's a great thing to see when it gets humming. I'd like us to get there by 2014 at the latest.
Anyway, some of the stores announcing retail sales numbers today were downright giddy about it. Here are my thoughts on some of them.
Macy's (NYSE: M)
Around long enough that it has a one letter ticker symbol, Macy's is one of the grandparents of large department stores. Macy's had a particularly fun year, seeing same-store sales up 11.7% from January to January. No one I know will be able to argue with success like that. The firm must have seen good times coming as it authorized $1.861 billion worth of share repurchases just a few months ago. The stock can be a bit confusing. Like a lot of equities it saw a summer trough last year but it's come back to gain almost 20% since mid-July. It also pays a 1.99% dividend. I like it. This is a big retailer you should have in your portfolio. It made seem old and stodgy, but that just means it's proven itself over time.
Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN)
Again with the summer drop. Nordstrom started last year at $51.01 and closed today at $55.11. It was the time between that makes ulcers. Nordstrom dropped as far as $46.27 and on that basis is up about 15-20% in seven months. It's another sign that things look good for the economy and retail in general. The chain saw an 11.4% same-store sales gain in the last year. That's a bit less than Macy's but still a win in a world where the inflation rate is 1.7% for 2012. Heck, the company's dividend is higher than that at 1.97% yield. The company isn't only high-end, though. It's Nordstrom Rack also let it profit from harder times where customers are looking to save money. It's a smart company that knows how to appeal to its audience.
Kohl's (NYSE: KSS)
Another good reporter of same-store sales, Kohl's saw its numbers grow 13.3% year over year. Even with that the news is extremely mixed on Kohl's. Citigroup downgraded it to 'neutral' and says that it faces difficulties in completing a turnaround. This complexity is reflected in this year's stock performance. This is the first one I've covered on this list that's down for the year. A year ago it was at $50.14 it closed today at $45.81. One good thing about the lower price, though, it makes the yield on its dividend climb to a column-best 2.79%. Cold comfort, I know. This is the one I'd avoid if at all possible. Very risky money could go here, but not any money you're going to need to count on in the future.
Target (NYSE: TGT)
Target is always and interesting company to look at … and one of my personal favorites. The store has tried to define a 21st century space with discounted pricing. It's not Wal-Mart, but it's not a pricier department store, either. I like the concept. Target only saw a same-store growth of 3%, according to the numbers. That's not as flashy as Macy's or Nordstrom but I'll still take it because of everything else that makes the firm a good buy. Its stock has been good all year, avoiding the summer slump that the others went through. Overall it climbed about 20% over the year, from $52.57 to $62.30 now. Other analysts are high on TGT and I think you should be, too. The firm even raised its dividend by 20% over during the year. This is going places.
Get me, here: retail stocks are always going to be vulnerable to outside forces. Recessions hammer them as do natural disasters and such. Anything that really takes away from the disposable income stream of consumers can hammer retail stocks, especially high-end retailers. But I think today's data, combined with a pretty positive long-term economic outlook, means it's time to get back into retail in a big way.
Good luck!

Line 6 Variax JTV-69S Electric Guitar with Single Coil PickupsThe Variax JTV-69S Electric Guitar w/ Single Coil Pickups is now available with all single-coil pickups and offers an innovative design and boutique playing experience courtesy of master luthier James Tyler, and the world's most advanced guitar modeling technology from the people who invented it, Line 6. Plug this guitar into any amp and hear all the models, all the tunings, and both acoustic and electric tones you've ever wanted. No more dragging around multiple acoustics and electrics to gigs or recording studios. Variax gives you an endless variety of sounds from classic acoustic and electric tones all the way to sitar and banjo, all in one instrument.The JTV-69 features a beautiful flamed maple top, alder back, and a bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. A recessed heel makes reaching the upper frets a breeze. The JTV-69 is loaded with three single-coil pickups designed by James Tyler. Controls include a 5-way blade pickup selector switch, a master volume & tones. A rotary model selector dials the 25 virtual guitars plus sitar, banjo, and resonator guitar tones. A rotary alt tuning selector lets you pick from 12 alternate tunings. Comes standard with a durable, padded gig bag with a stitched Line 6 logo and 2 pockets big enough for all your gig essentials.Redesigned tremolo bridgeThe JTV-69 has a redesigned tremolo bridge that offers improved tone and tuning stability. This design lets the string go into the bridge through the front of the tremolo, which brings the ball end as close to the saddle as possible, instead of stringing it through the tremolo block. This also makes restringing much easier. The knife edges and tremolo pivot posts were designed to provide nearly zero resistance. This, in conjunction with locking tuners gives this standard tremolo bridge much more tuning stability. A Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut keeps the strings from gripping and sticking. James Tyler Custom tremolo bridge is also fitted with an LR Baggs Radiance hex pickup system for sweet acoustic guitar tones.Dual-core ProcessorDual-core processor delivers 4 times the punch. This new chip is smaller, faster, and more powerful. It has allowed Line 6 to run fuller, clearer models of guitar bodies and pickups; let all their models have alternate tunings; improved alternate tuning purity and speed; provided alternate tuning customization; and improved modes of operation and editing. The JVT sounds and responds surprisingly more like a traditional guitar.Variax Workbench SoftwareVariax Workbench software is a virtual custom shop. This free software, which can be downloaded from the Line-6 web site, lets you create custom models on your computer and upload them to your JTV-59 via its built-in USB port. Choose from famous guitar bodies, pickups, pickup placement, tone and volume controls, and tweak away until you've designed the guitar of your dreams – without choking on sawdust!This combination USB interface and software package for James Tyler Variax guitars allows you to see and hear the physical changes to your custom guitar in real-time. Ever wonder what a single-coil pickup would sound like on a hollow-body guitar tuned an octave down? Probably not. That's because it wasn't a reality – until now.The Alt Tune KnobEach James Tyler Variax modeling guitar has a dedicated Alt Tune knob. This knob has 12 settings, including two labeled "Model" and "Standard." Set to "Model," the Alt Tune knob lets you access the alternate tunings you created using Variax Workbench virtual guitar workbench software. These tunings are stored on your Variax's Model knob. Set to "Standard," the Alt Tune knob overrides saved tunings to set every model to standard "E-to-E" tuning. The Alt Tune knob's remaining 10 settings are the most commonly used tunings found in the popular genres of the day.The Virtual capo feature lets you easily transpose any song to the key that suits you vocalist. And you can adjust your tuning on the fly without having to do on "Workbench" software.Battery powered DSPA proprietary lithium-ion battery delivers at least 12 hours of continuous performance. A 4-LED battery life meter lets you know how much rocking time you have left. Rolling down the volume knob when not playing will automatically put the DSP to sleep and helps maximize battery life. So even with your cable still plugged in, you will not be using battery power. DSP wakes up instantly when you turn the volume back up. The JTV-69 functions as a standard electric guitar whether the battery installed or not.Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options. Includes gig bag.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

1043cc, 140bhp, 165mph, Insurance group
The 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX is a clever, considered and very worthwhile update of an already excellent machine. The Z1000SX was already something of a connossieurs' choice: fast, effective, decently equipped, involving, good value and yet understated and unshowy too. Kawasaki hasn't lost any of that. It hasn't thrown the baby out with the bath water. Instead it has corrected or ...
1043cc, 138bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 15
Loosely based on Kawasaki's excellent Z1000, the SX fits snugly in to the gap between said naked bike and the track orientated ZX-10R, making it a grown-up bike for the real world. The near 140bhp inline four motor gives sporting potential, but creature comforts like a new seat, vibration reduction and additional fairing make it a viable long-distance touring bike. For many riders this ...
1050cc, 128bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
Take Triumph's superb Sprint ST (Sport Touring) and make it more adept at touring and also pillion friendly and what do you end up with? A Triumph Sprint GT (Grand Touring), that's what. Sounds easy enough but in practice Triumph had to revise the Sprint's chassis in a major way. So with a longer swingarm and steel subframe the GT ...
1237cc, 173bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 17
The 'DCT' bit of Honda's new VFR1200F stands for 'Ducal Clutch Transmission', Honda's name for it's all-new, clutchless, semi-automatic transmission system which is so different it warrants a review all its own, and so impressive and revolutionary it heralds the start of an all-new technical era.
1151cc, 95bhp, 126mph, Insurance group 13
There are few bikes as comfortable as Moto Guzzi's Norge. Soft suspension and a relaxed riding position lets you take full advantage of its 200-mile plus tank range with no aches or pains, while the loud mechanical Italian exhaust note reminds you that you're riding something with huge character and charm.
997cc, 118bhp, 156mph, Insurance group 15
The Aprilia SL1000 Falco is a generally well-regarded, half-faired, 'street sports' version of RSV which never quite took off in the way it could have. Unique twin beam frame and slightly detuned V-twin made it more streetable, although still very much a sportster. The Aprilia Falco is often overlooked so is a potential used bargain.
996cc, 97bhp, 144mph, Insurance group 14
The Honda VTR1000F Firestorm is a brilliant all-rounder with few foibles: you'd be hard pushed not to have a ball on it. Regular refuelling's a drag but better on post-01 Honda VTR1000F Firestorms, when capacity went from 16 to 19 litres, but it's still thirsty. The Honda VTR1000F Firestorm has wonderful pull when you open it up in the midrange ...
937cc, 125bhp, 162mph, Insurance group 15
It's not often that you get quality and style along with 'budget'. But Suzuki delivered just that when it produced the RF900R in the late 90s. A sporty sports-tourer, the Suzuki RF900R delivered plenty of punch, decent handling, comfortable versatility and, er, odd styling. Old hat today, but the Suzuki RF900R is still excellent value.
955cc, 118bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 14
Superb British all rounder Triumph Sprint ST pipped Honda's VFR800 simply by using a straight bat when the VFR tried all kinds of trick but ultimately unnecessary technology. Plus the Triumph Sprint ST undercuts the VFR on price too. Superb all-round sports tourer with a grunty three cylinder engine that makes it anything but bland.
955cc, 118bhp, 154mph, Insurance group 14
Never a big seller when new but the Triumph Sprint RS can be a real bargain on the used market. Sporty sports tourer with Triumph's powerful, mellifluous three cylinder engine. The Triumph Sprint RS is similar to the better selling Sprint ST but with a cheaper and lighter conventional swingarm, less plastic, firmer suspension, sharper geometry and a different exhaust. The ...

I am writing a essay paper about women in Islam. I want to know do women really have to wear the hijab and what are their roles within thier families?
Ok.. the Qoran states that both men and women are equal. For example is sura 4:1 (that's the chapter and the verse) it says that both women and men were created ouf of one soul. Pretty much the same thing as the other two Abrahamic religions. Don't forget Islam is only a continuation of these two.
On the other side, we read in 4:34 that "mean are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made tone of them to excel the other, and because they spend from their means. Therefore, the righteous women are devoutly obedient and guard in the husband's absence what Allah orders them to guard".
That may sound a bit awkward, but I guess it depends on the character of the man finally on which sura he will put emphasis on, or how he will interprete it. If he's a bastard he will claim the Qoran states women are not equal. If he is normal though he will stick with the fact that both were created from one soul, as both have equal rights and obligations before God.
There is one thing that to me it seems to be confusing. The matter of the different gender roles. Such does not apply in the Muslim societies only and it has nothing to do with gender discrimination. It happens that most of our societies are patriarchal. And how could it not be up to a certain extent? It is men to by physically stronger, go haunt and bring the food at home. The woman would stay behind to do whatever it is she was doing. Same with wars. Men would go in the battle, women would stay back, no? And anyway, I really don't see how men could breastfeed. But certainly neither the Qoran nor the hadith mention that women should stay at home. They are not prevented to go to work.
After all, don't forget that Islam really gave some rights to women that didn't exist before. Like the right to property and inheritance.
Now, these may differ from country to country as I stated already in my first answer. Is it because there is a different Qoran in each place or is it because people tend to see things over the prism that suits them best? Perhaps the Qoran itself allows for different interpretations, but when it allows for both good and bad, then it is people to blame when they pick up the ugly side. You go to Sudan and they will base their practice of stoning on islamic teachings. Go to some other Muslim country and they will tell you such an act in unacceptable.
Please read Sura Ahzab in English (www.tanzil.info) where Allah says: O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
And in Sura Noor Allah says in first sentence: "This is a surah which We have sent down and made obligatory and revealed therein verses of clear evidence that you might remember" and then in the chapter He says: "And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed. (31)"
I am a Saudi and a Muslim girl .. I'll tell you about the types of veils: 1 - some women do not wear the hijab does not believe in it but they say they are Muslim. 2 - and some of them wearing only a scarf and wear short or tight in front of men and say they are Muslim. 3 - and some of them wearing the mantle with Abaya and Abaya is worn on the body as a whole and say they are Muslim. 4 - and the latter type are wearing abaya and wearing scarf and covering their faces, but they can show their eyes. And say they are Muslim. Do you think of Muslim women are Alhakiqiat?? Before saying you think I will tell you why hurry to wear the veil of Islam and what are its causes .. God says in the Quran that women's greatest dissension on the ground even if it were not Women Being beautiful women are desirable in men. I do not know that you are a man or woman but to say you are a man walk next to your wife by your side a group of men went through and looked at your wife and think beautiful hair because it bother you? Consider the nose or lips and Allen that angers you? Or looked at her body and her legs and possibly her thighs and her breasts Allen angers you their disposal, but will not be able to do something because it is their eyes and see what they like, but you can prevent them from looking at it (because it is your wife, and reflect on her body from your right you only) makes it that wearing a veil that hides the charms her wonderful But you do not mix things only women wearing the veil only in men, either in a women wearing what they want of the dress so hurry Islam wear the veil. There are many reasons to wear the hijab I can not mention here, but what I mentioned earlier was the greatest reason to wear a veil in order not to quarrel over the other people in hopes that the other girl .. And not for men only, but may haunt jealousy when you see the woman her husband looks at another woman even if it were not beautiful it instinct of them women. I hope to be helped and Excuse me that there were mistakes My language is not good .. Thank you What do you think of now are the types of four Muslim women who follow the true Islam?? That you want to know what is the veil I'm kind of the fourth .. I hope to communicate with me on the e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks so much for your help guys. I am a 17 year old muslim girl and whenever I ask this question I get many different answers. I wear my scarf because I strongly believe in it, but I wanted to see the different answers I get before I finish writing my essay.
depends on where one lives actually.
There are Muslim women who may only wear a scarf, like in Turkey. Others may wear normal clothes only - some do so in Dubai for example. If you are in Saudi Arabia, as you know, not only you need to cover up totally but are not allowed to do several things, like driving. And then don't forget Virgin Mary is wearing a scarf also in the icons.
As far as I know, I am not a Muslim myself, the core unit of the society is considered to be the family. Thus, the role of the woman within the family is very strong. Working or not, she has the responsibility to offer what's best to her children and husband, much like in the rest of the world.
Whether or not she is treated equally, I want to believe that it depends on her personal relationship with her husband. Again, much like in the rest of the world.
You may find some verses in the Qoran to be humiliating against women, but Muslims will bring up a thousand restrictions before you proceed with these. It doesn't differ much from the other scriptures (Judaism and Christianity).
It's very easy to write all the negatives we find in the conservative Muslim societies, but with a bit of research you will see things are not as bad as we may think, at least not everywhere. I will try find some things for you (references etc) but as I said, I am not a Muslim myself. My experience though tells me that most Muslims will give you their own personal perspective according to how they themselves perceive Islam. For example, some may tell you "covering up is not mandatory" (I mean wearing a hijab) but others will speak about it as if it is the biggest sin ever.
I am a christian, but from what I have read and been told about Islam - the q'uran places women at the center of the family and sees her as treasured and precious to her husband. I also read somewhere, that in Islam, women were allowed to practice medicine as doctors, many hundreds of years before the western (and perceived therefore as christian) world allowed their women to do so. I was also told that a Muslim wife can go to work - but that if she does, her husband must support her, and she gets to keep all her earnings as her own.
So it seems to me that the role of women in Islam, has been corrupted, in much the same way as there have been so-called Christians in history, twisting the word of the bible and god and claiming that it was in gods name they were going to war, or persecuting and torturing people, or committing genocide, or burning people at the stake as witches. The bible makes it clear that any person who intentionally perverts the word of god for their own purposes will be severely punished for it on judgement day.
I imagine the q'uran has a similar warning??
Though I am a christian, I don't believe the Islamic faith, if followed as per the q'uran, holds women in any higher or lower esteem than it does men. I think that it - like the bible, recognizes them as different, but equally important, partners. Unfortunately it seems there are many places these days where people have intentionally misintepreted the q'uran, and claimed it as an excuse to belittle, control, and mistreat women. I feel almost as sorry for the men who do this as the women. What kind of life can they have when they deny themselves the fulfillment of a true partnership in their marriage? - and when they reduce their wife to an impersonal servant?
As far as dress and hijab goes - it seems to me that this is a topic that there are many different opinions on, from people who dont believe that the woman needs to wear hijab - that the reference to covering her hari and bosum etc, with a scarf should be taken in the context of the fashions and dress code of the day (when that was what women wore) - and who say that nowadays it simply means to dress modestly (and then there seems to be debate about that too - ie skirt length, sleeve length, whether modest trousers are permissible etc etc). In Christianity, there are also differences of opinion on dress (not to the hijab/abaya vs street clothing - but on things like makeup, length of skirt, and whether it is provocative)
I have to say, that to me it seems, there is no point in forcing a woman to wear hijab or abaya if she does not want to - surely if she does not wish to wear it, then it is meaningless in gods eyes anyway (I am referring here to women in countries where there is no legal requirement to veil - obviously in some countries there is no option due to the law). Anyway it seems pointless to me to make someone who does not want to, wear hijab or abaya.... surely god knows what they are thinking anyway so whats the point?
I also have to question the logic behind it being to cover a woman to stop men being tempted etc. From what I have been told and read, in countries where women must always wear hijab and abaya or similar, the men seem to be more aroused by all the covering up, not less. I also had a Muslim guy tell me once that something about when a woman veiled, suddenly made her more sexually alluring - that a girl who was not veiling, could be just a kid of no importance one day to her male peers - and then a day later when she starts to veil, she is transformed from a skinny kid that they would play in the street with, to a sexual creature, tempting and desirable - that putting on the abaya/veil, normally seems to result in the men being likely to think more about the woman sexually - or more likely to imagine he is intimate with her, not less....
Possibly someone who has lived in both western countries and a country where it is usual for women to be covered - can comment on this better - as I have not - but i have heard this from women who have lived in places like saudi and found its men much more sexually intimidating than any westerners

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) – You can't GOOGLE something where there is no internet connectivity and there are areas of the world where these conditions exist. When Google thought of balloons in the Stratosphere to transmit their signal, they brought their concept to Raven Industries of Sioux Falls, S.D. the balloon experts.
"When Google came to us; not knowing what the project was, we told them we have been putting payloads into the stratosphere for decades," said Lon Stroschein, Vice President and General Manager of Raven Aerostar. "We manufactured a few balloons for them and headed out into the desert, did a few flights and they were impresses with what they saw. That led to a few more conversations, reading us deeper into the conversation which ultimately became Project Loon."
Stroschein said Google's mission is to connect everyone in the world to the internet. There are over 4-billion people in the world who have no internet access. There are over a billion others who have mediocre access like we knew 15 years ago where we hit dial-up and waited for the page to refresh. Google's mission is to bring 3-G access to all corners of the world and they are going to do it on the backs of our balloons flying between 60-70-thousand feet.
"These Balloons are different because there are two chambers in them," said Stroschein. "One chamber is for helium and the other chamber is for ambient air which pressurizes the helium chamber which gives us control over altitude. By adjusting these balloons at these altitudes keeps the balloons in a box and will distribute consistent coverage."
Stroschein said the balloons themselves are very durable. They are under tremendous pressure and are exposed to very bad weather. Raven's goal is to keep these balloons in the air at least 90 days. We are still in the early stages of Project Loon, and we plan to do more experiments at test sites around the world.
Stroschein shared other areas within Raven that not too many people are aware of. The Precision Agriculture Division which gives precision technology to farmers around the world which helps feed a growing population. The Engineered Films Division; which makes the material for these balloons, which are big sheets of plastic that operates at negative 60 degrees. And the Aerostar division has recently acquired radar and works with tethered blimps that ensure troop safety in places like Afghanistan.
"When we went to New Zealand and launched our first flight, and I got to be part of the first family who went from nothing to something on the internet," said Stroschein. "The first person went right to Auto Trader.com and wanted to know what he could get for his 1978 Chevy. It was exciting, because it was real world and we were part of it."
*Lon Strochein was interviewed on the Greg Belfrage Show June 20, 2013.

Devastated model loses her baby at nearly five months pregnant
Kelly Brook has been left devastated after losing her unborn baby at nearly five months of pregnancy. The model, who was expecting a baby girl with boyfriend Thom Evans, is recovering at her Kent farmhouse with Thom and her mum, reports the Daily Mail.
"I can confirm that Kelly and Thom have very sadly lost their baby," Kelly's spokesman said. "They request that everyone please respects their privacy at this very painful time. There will be no further comment.
Kelly's is the third high-profile pregnancy to end in tragedy recently. Lily Allen and Amanda Holden both lost their babies after completing their first trimesters (medically the most likely time for miscarriage). But despite the worrying headlines, losing your baby after 12 weeks is still relatively rare, which is why many mums-to-be wait until this point to announce their pregnancy.
Signs of a problem to watch for include stomach cramps and bleeding, but both of these symptoms, although worth checking out, do not necessarily mean your baby is in trouble.
Kelly revealed her pregnancy just last month. Though unplanned, the couple were excited at the prospect of being parents and Kelly gushed that she had "found the one" in her rugby ace partner.
Condolences have poured in on Twitter from fans and celebrities alike. Mums Denise Van Outen and Dannii Minogue were quick to offer their sympathy.
"Sending big love to Kelly Brook and Thomas Evans," Tweeted Dannii.

There is some grooviness surrounding save percentage at even strength, so today I'll take a couple of kicks at that, testing NHL players VS dice rollers. I ran this data a week ago, using 5v5 and 4v4 numbers only, and only when the goalies for both teams were on the ice. It's repeatable using a cut and paste of data from Desjardins' advanced hockey stats site, if you're a dab hand with Excel it should only take half an hour or so to do this sort of thing.
What I did with the NHL players:
- Looked at a player, say Cogliano of the Oilers, and noted that he'd been on the ice at even strength for 13 goals against, and 148 shots against. That's a .912 EVsave% when he's been out there.
- The Oilers on the whole, at the time, had a team EVsave% of .907 at that point.
- If Cogliano had seen that .907 EVsave% behind him, he would have been on the ice for 13.8 goals against, round it up to 14.
- So the expected goals against was 14, and the actual was 13. So Rooster Cogliano gets a -1 Diff-number from me here. Meaning that if we believe that he has no significant factor on the goalie's even strength save percentage, then he had been lucky to to the tune of 1 fewer goals against.
- Do the same for everyone else in the league.
What I did with the dice rollers:
- Cogliano gets an imaginary dice roller.
- This dice roller gets 148 rolls of a die, that's the same number as the shots against that Cogs was on the ice for.
- The die he uses is weighted so that it rolls one thru five 90.7% of the time, because that was the EVsave% of the Oilers overall. This is done using a simple script and a random number generator.
- Each time the dice roller rolled a six, it counted as a mock goal-against.
- Repeat for the other 703 NHL skaters who have played a game this season, using their unique personal and team stats of course.
Finishing up:
- Sum up the total number of players with a -1 Diff Number, like Cogliano.
- And the number of guys with a -2 Diff-number, and a -3 etc. -10 through +10.
- Do the same for the dice rollers.
- Compare dice rollers to NHL players and be confused.
Anyhow, the pretty picture:
You can click on the image to enlarge it. The blue line is the NHL players, so for example, there were about 80 players with 2 more EV-goals-against than would have been expected if they'd seen their team's average EVsave% behind them.
The pink line is the dice rollers, the average of the 100 seasons worth.
The area between the two is part randomness (we have 100 dice seasons, but only one NHL season after all), and partly the effect of players impacting shot quality as defenders, and partly the effect of the guys who play more against better shooters and play makers. That's a lot of theory competing for a tiny patch of real estate.
NHL players who've found themselves on the right side of this curve are probably having great starts in terms of EV-, at least relative to their teammates and to their previous seasons. The players who've fallen on the left probably aren't getting much love from the fans in their towns right now. Not to worry, it's mostly just shit happening, they're almost certainly going to see a change in fortune in this regard over the rest of the season.
And the yellow line, well that's where the blue line will be in April. The player results will smooth out a bit as the sample gets larger, and drop down and widen out to be tight to the yellow line. It will happen, and there's not a damn thing any of us can do to stop it.

The Death Of Blogging: Internet Marketers (Part 1/5)
This is the first post in a series I'm creating entitled "The Death Of Blogging". In this series I'm going to cover 5 issues or topics that are causing the "death of blogging". This doesn't necessarily mean that I'm saying blogging is dead or that it's dying soon. But these 5 particular topics are contributing to what I consider a downward spiral for blogging. I can't help but think that the actual spirit of what blogging is intended to be has been damaged and someone harmed in recent years. So through some brainstorming I thought up 5 key things that I think have transformed blogging over the years. And The Death of Blogging sounds a lot more intriguing and interesting than "Some things that have altered blogging".
I conjured up the idea of this series one night while trying to think of something new and interesting to blog about. I frequent tons of blogs about blogging and I see a lot of the same topics covered over and over. However, I was inspired by a series by Sarah Arrow on Best Blogging Tips Online entitled "Blogging Fears" in which she covered some of the fears that bloggers have as well as how to get over them. Her series made me 1- want to do a series, and 2- talk about something different besides the Best WordPress plugins posts you see all the time.
So with that said, here is part 1 of my 5 part series, The Death of Blogging!
Internet Marketers
Internet marketing is a huge business. Promoting products and services online is the new wave of marketing and has enabled billion dollar businesses to capitalize on the popularity of the internet. Internet marketing incorporates techniques like using Social Media to promote products and brand awareness, running ads, and the topic that I'll be speaking on here-Blogging.
There are two facets to Internet Marketing as far as the death of blogging goes for me.
- Affiliate marketers
- Businesses
Affiliate Marketers
Remember how I prefaced this series by stating that the topics I'm covering aren't all necessarily bad things? Affiliate marketing isn't a bad thing at all. Being able to make money by promoting products/services and getting a commission is great and one of the ways myself and many other bloggers make money blogging. However, the problem is that the growth of internet marketing has inspired hundreds of people to promote products/services solely for the purposes of getting paid.
How it works
- Bob finds an eBook on Clickbank about losing weight that he thinks can sell. He has 0% interest in the topic at all
- He creates a fake persona and starts a healthy lifestyle blog to set up a place to sell the eBook
- He writes posts about eating healthy and losing weight based on info he finds on Wikipedia or pays someone in the Philippines to write it for him
- He promotes his blog to help sell the eBook from Clickbank
- People buy the book because he portrays himself as an "expert" and they grow to trust him
- After a while, he lets the blog die out and moves on to the next niche
This is called Niche Marketing. Niche sites started popping up all over the place over the past 5-10 years and they're using the blogging platform to do it. My problems with this are pretty obvious. For one, you're creating a completely fake persona and don't have any knowledge of what you're blogging about. Secondly, these blogs rarely provide any value to readers at all and are just used as a way to sell a product. The trickery aspect involved here is detrimental to what blogging is for in my opinion.
Blogs don't have to be personal or thought provoking, but they should at the very least be of some sort of value and not be deceitful.
Next, I have to talk about businesses a little bit. Company blogs are an awesome way to help do some internet marketing and expand your brand. The problem is that a lot of companies aren't doing it very well. What I mean is they half ass it and don't provide any type of value. If the only time you post on your company blog is when you have a new product or special to promote, you're not doing it right.
The amount of company blogs I've seen where you have no idea who wrote the posts, have 0 personality in the writing, and are just plain boring is ridiculous. Company blogs should be a way to connect with your customers and give insight into the company. That's what blogging is all about- connecting with readers and informing.
Straying away from the negativity, here are some examples of good company blogs:
Google's blog is great because it gives you information and news related to the company as well as some entertainment. The great mixture of news and entertainment is much appreciated. Another thing Google does great with their blog is allowing different members of their teams to do the writing. They'll have someone from marketing write a post one day, then an IT person the next day. It's definitely a great use of resources if nothing else!
Ok, I wrote this blog post on 2/4/13 which is the same day I grabbed the image you see above of the 37Signals blog. Notice that the post has over 20 comments. This means that not only are people reading their blog, but they're also engaging in the conversation. That's a great sign that they're actually blogging and not approaching the company blog half halfheartedly.
The Short Stack blog, SociallyStacked, is an excellent example of how to have a fun, informative company blog. They give you insight into what's happening at the company, industry news, and some helpful info as well.
The Wrap Up
In closing, internet marketing is great. But the use of blogging solely as a means to market products is really hurting blogging. It makes it difficult for actual bloggers with useful information and valuable insight to get out there. The more of these garbage, low quality, thin blogs that pop up, the harder it is for useful blogs to really shine.
What do you think? Is internet marketing helping or hindering blogging? Stay tune for part 2 of my 5 part series on The Death Of Blogging.

(GLOBALPOST) — Modern Mexicans' urban lifestyle, rising incomes and myriad consumption vices have fed a seemingly endless struggle that's killing thousands more of them each year.
Yep, we're talking the desperate Battle of the (body) Bulge.
Even as nearly half its people are poor and as officials launch a national anti-hunger campaign, Mexico by some accounts recently has replaced the United States as the chubbiest of the globe's larger countries.
Diabetes and cardiovascular ills spike, plus sizes cram clothing racks and Mexicans keep eating, eating, eating. While cutting across class lines, the crisis disproportionately hits the poor and the young, malnourishment and obesity stalking them in tandem.

Happy Friday! This inspiration shoot has me craving licorice allsorts with a cuppa black tea! Check out this session, designed by some very talented Portland, OR vendors. After all, what else are you going to do on a Friday afternoon? Work?
Thoughts from Jennifer Fox at Perfect Planning Weddings and Events:
This inspiration comes from the simple essence of being a girl! For this shoot, we really wanted to take a feminine flare with our décor and theme and focus on the classy frills and lace so often paired with being a woman. The theme was infused with girly floral and candy-inspired décor pieces. This shoot was fun and flirty, while capturing the gorgeous beauty of a woman's taste.
The Governor Hotel has a fascinating history. At one point it was The Elks Club; when converted into the current hotel the spaces on the second floor received their names based off the previous usage by the Elks Club. The Fireside Room at The Governor Hotel is one of favorite spaces in Portland; due to its feminine color palette and details. Originally, this was the only room women were allowed be un-escorted. The room featured a two way mirror (which has since been converted) so that the men could peek in on what the women were doing from the neighboring Lodge Room.  The space was perfect to tie in the grand and elegant features of the girly theme we were going for. Every girl deep down wants to be the princess on her wedding day, and what better way to escalate her true royalty than the Governor Hotel! This antique and lush space was perfect for our inspiration and shot at the level and beauty that aligned with our theme.
The photographs were captured by David Barss Photography and represent the essence of classic beauty and lush details of the shoot. The rich textures and subtle colors were brought alive by each image.
The floral arrangements were mainly a collection of apothecary jars, flowers, candy, and candles. The luscious décor mimics the theme flawlessly and supports the art of being a woman. The antiqued girly flare to this tablescape was made possible through East-West Floral and Barclay Event Rentals.
The bride in this shoot was wearing a beautiful form-fitting Pronovias gown from Bridal Exclusives. The gown was adorned with lace and frill, while supporting a sweetheart neckline. The dress was able to celebrate the curves of a woman's body and the classic beauty and elegance of the gown seemed to perfectly fit the theme.

Wow! I have looked every where for the tile...FOUND IT! My room is not as grand as this beautiful room, but I am planning on this tile, with a clean face gas fireplace front and a maple mantle with corbels, if I can find just the right combination. This room has really inspired me. Thanks much!

Is Preschool Necessary?
The Preschool Question
Deciding whether to send your son or daughter to preschool can be difficult. Many of today's parents face enormous pressures from family, friends, fellow parents, and society in general regarding whether or not their toddler should be enrolled in a pre-kindergarten environment. Although there is much literature in favor of both attending and refraining from preschool, true evidence to support either side of this argument is hard to find.
When contemplating preschool for your child, you may wonder what is the most important factor to consider. Although the root answer is simple—your child and his or her needs, personality, and development—discerning what is best for your child can be much more complex.
The idea of enrolling your child in a preschool program can mirror a game of tug-of-war. Parents and educators who believe that preschool education plays a vital role in the development of children defend its merits with passion, while parents and caregivers who feel that preschool doesn't play an essential role defend their opinions with equal fervor.
This question has created a rather heated debate, but with little evidence to support either side. As Kelly Maxwell, a research scientist at UNC Chapel Hill's Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute, says in a February 2, 2005, Tallahassee Democrat article, "I think there's no one thing that's a must for children to be successful for school."
Family psychologist John Rosemond reports in the same article, "I've met countless numbers of parents all across America who have opted not to put their child in preschool of any sort, and they attest to having well-adjusted kids."
Despite some feeling that preschool isn't needed as a mandatory first step in a child's education, the majority of parents in the United States send their children to preschool, according to an April 2003 Educational Leadership report. States such as Georgia have already incorporated mandatory preschool programs for four-year-old children, and New York, California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey are in close pursuit.
These states feel they have found good reason to enforce a universal preschool program. In a recent study posted on the Chicago Child-Parent Centers website, children who attended a pre-K program are nearly 30 percent more likely to graduate from high school, 40 percent less likely to repeat a grade, and 32 percent less likely to be arrested as a juvenile.
So, what's the right step for your child? As Thomas Andrews, a retired private-school teacher with over 30 years experience in elementary education from Long Island, New York, points out, despite other influences the main consideration should be your child. "It is only natural for parents to feel like they don't want to short change their child by not giving them an opportunity to learn. [But] a huge part of the equation is the child—some children thrive in a preschool environment, while others may not," says Andrews.
Educational and Social Development
Prior to making any decision, parents should ask themselves several questions: Is their child social? Does their little one have the ability to work and play for an extended period of time? Can he work independently as well as focus on one task for several minutes? Can he get along well with others in a group? These behaviors are just a few of those needed for a child to successfully participate in and benefit from preschool. Some children may not yet exhibit a focused attention span for sitting through circle time, but they may learn to do so from exposure to a preschool environment. Parents must discern if their child will be able to learn from and grow in a preschool environment, or instead feel restricted and unhappy.
Many preschool proponents cite social development and interaction as the most important part of preschool. Early childhood educators as well as parents of children in preschool argue that the social skills children learn while enrolled assist in helping deal with conflict, negotiation, sharing, problem solving, and compromise.
"The most important aspects of a child's development are social and emotional. If a child is not content socially and emotionally, that child will be hesitant to perform academically. Although children can be exposed to social situations through activities such as play groups or sports, preschool gives a wide variety of experiences," explains Helen James, a pre-K teacher at a private elementary school in Orlando, Florida. She maintains that from her experience, "children that have attended preschool, generally, are more confident and comfortable when they move into kindergarten."
Chris**, a marketing executive and father of two from Bedminster, New Jersey, feels that the preschool experiences his two children had when they were little were beneficial to their social growth. "Preschool helped my children develop socially—my son's best friends, now at age 12, are the same ones that he met when he first started preschool."
However, many parents believe the opposite—that socialization skills are first learned in the comfort of home. These parents try to instill and pass down their values and knowledge to their children by exposing them to other families with children who share similar values.
"I really cannot believe that preschool can provide children with anything that a loving parent cannot," says Susan, a mother and member of the Berkeley Parent's Network message board. "I think the arguments about socialization are crazy. In developmental psychology (this is straight out of a textbook) socialization is: 'The process by which children acquire the standards, values, and knowledge of their society.' If you keep them at home and teach them your values and enrich them with your knowledge, you are socializing them. If you meet with families whose values you share or respect and let your children play together, play with other children and help them to learn to share, be respectful and not hurt each others' feelings, look out for younger children, say please and thank you, or whatever it is that you think is important, then you are socializing them."

Okay, I need someone who will actually listen, and give advice based on my case.
On December 30, my boyfriend and I had sex with a condom, but it end up slipping off. In the end there is no doubt about it, unprotected sex was the case. I didn't worry about it because I knew my period always starts on the 5th of every month. It is now nearly the 7th (we in Australia on vacation, mate) and nothing of the usual is happening. I usually never no symptoms leading up to my period (tender breast, cramping, bloated-zip, nada). My period is probably the most predicable thing in my life. Yet, today I started feeling some mild cramping and I couldn't even put my bra on this morning my breast hurt soooo bad, but no period. I know it was only 6 days before my period, but is it possible that I could be and when should I take a test? Any more questions, just ask.

Nigerian troops mark rare victory over extremists
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) -- Nigerian troops celebrated victory against Islamic extremists in which scores of militants were killed near the strategic northeast city of Maiduguri.
Residents cheered as the troops paraded armored cars and vehicles with anti-aircraft weapons that were recaptured from the Boko Haram insurgents, who had spray-painted the vehicles with "There is no God but Allah."
Farmer Abu'ar Yale said the military fought off an attack Wednesday by hundreds of extremists. Konduga is 38 kilometers (24 miles) from Maiduguri, the Borno state capital and birthplace of Boko Haram.
Civilian defense leader Bashir Abbas said the militants attacked in three waves over Tuesday and Wednesday and that soldiers killed about 200 insurgents.
In recent weeks Boko Haram has seized several northeastern towns, declared an Islamic caliphate and said Maiduguri is their next target.
