MARTINSVILLE, Virginia (Ticker) – NASCAR would kill for a good finish, just ask David Ragan.
In what was supposed to be a "green-white-checkered flag" finish to Sunday's Subway 500 at Martinsville Speedway, Ragan's Ford spun out and stopped in between turns 1 and 2 at the tight .526-mile short track.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ryan Kesler scored two goals and goaltender Curtis Sanfordhad a solid game in his first start of the season to lead the Vancouver Canuckspast the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1 on Sunday night.
Markus Naslund and Kevin Bieksa added goals for the Canucks, who had losttheir last two games. They won despite being outshot 20-0 during one lengthyspan.
Naslund's goal gave the Canucks some breathing room. Ahead 2-1 and hangingon in the third period, Naslund controlled the puck as he skated down the rightwing and then angled sharply toward the high slot, waiting patiently until heripped a hard wrist shot high into the corner of the net.
Kesler, who played college hockey at Ohio State, stole the puck fromColumbus' Nikolai Zherdev and scored on a shorthanded empty-netter after theBlue Jackets pulled their goaltender for a two-man advantage with just over aminute remaining.
Kesler stretched his points streak to three games — he had three assists inVancouver's last two games — when he scored on a wrister from the left circle onthe Canucks' first shot, 5:39 in. It was just a straightforward rush, with noone in front of the goal, yet it eluded Columbus goaltender Pascal Leclaire.
PHILADELPHIA — Don't count out the Bears quite yet.
Desperately needing a victory to stay in the NFC hunt, Chicago's BrianGriese connected with Muhsin Muhammad for 15-yard touchdown pass with 9 secondsleft to lift the Bears to a 19-16 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sundaynight.
The Bears didn't even need Devin Hester to bail them out of jam with anexplosive return. Instead, the final, thrilling drive was all Griese.
The Bears (3-4) were pinned on the 3-yard line with 1 minute, 57 secondsleft and trailing 16-12. Griese completed a series of short passes over themiddle that got the Bears quickly gaining yards after nearly 58 minutes ofnothing but stagnant football.
Hester, the dynamic kick returner, had been shut down on special teams andwas a non-factor on offense until Griese found him for a 21-yard gain thatbrought Chicago to the 15 of Philadelphia.
IRVING, Texas — Scoring a first-quarter touchdown wasn't the spark theDallas Cowboys thought it would be.
Returning a blocked field goal for a touchdown for the first time since1983? Yeah, that did the trick.
Chris Canty swatted a potential go-ahead kick by Minnesota and Pat Watkinsreturned it 68 yards for a go-ahead touchdown for Dallas, sending the Cowboyspast the Vikings 24-14 Sunday in a game they dominated but nearly gave away.
Dallas bounced back from a lopsided home loss to New England and guaranteeditself at least two more weeks atop the NFC because of an upcoming bye. Duringthe time off, the Cowboys can savor being 6-1 for the first time since 1995(their last Super Bowl season) and having beaten the Vikings for the first since1996.
Minnesota (2-4) lost for the third time in four games. Rookie AdrianPeterson followed his record-setting, 224-yard performance last week with only63 this time.

Crystal Palace defender Florian Marange has launched a scathing attack on the club he joined just last month, claiming he is "disgusted" with his treatment since he moved to London in the summer transfer window.
The 27-year-old left-back joined Palace on a free transfer from Ligue 1 club Bordeaux, but he has only featured in the side in the Capital One Cup defeat to Bristol City.
Marange has since been left out of manager Ian Holloway's 25-man Premier League squad, meaning he can play in reserve matches only until the FA Cup fixtures in January, and he has slammed the Selhurst Park for the way he has been treated.
"I'm disgusted," Marange told French newspaper L'Equipe.
"If I had known this rule, I would have a clause in my contract. But my advisor did not tell me and now I am told that it is almost my fault.
"We lost [at Bristol City] but I was not at fault for the two goals. I have only had seven or eight training sessions. How can you judge a player after 10 days?"
Marange has admitted he could look to leave the club in January after being left out of the squad, and he has also criticised the cost of living in London compared to his former home of Bordeaux.
"I have never been presented to the press, I have never had an official photo and I am still waiting for my club suit," he continued.
"I stayed for 15 days in a hotel before finding somewhere to live and the club told me I had to pick up the bill.
"It is true, I have a proper contract, I earn a little more than Bordeaux but living in London is 10 times more expensive. And I came to play. Either I rip up my contract or I wait until the winter transfer window to find a club."
Marange was not the only new signing to be left out of the squad, with striker Stephen Dobbie also left out of the squad to tackle the Eagles attempt at Premier League survival on their return to the top flight.
Scottish forward Dobbie, who was signed from rivals Brighton and Hove Albion, actually started their first match against Tottenham, but he has been overlooked for the squad after Holloway made 16 new signings this summer.

Hello for everyone!
Im from Brazil, so sry for my bad english.
Im trying to decide among all these headphones, but i rly cant decide...
I already have a ATH-M50 and a Vmoda M100 and im trying to buy a more detailed headphone for my genre of music.
I listen most metal/Gothic/Rock, and sometimes nu-metal and hiphop.
Bands like: Epica, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Lacrimosa, Haggard, Theatre of Tragedy, As i Lay Dying, Paramore, Rihanna, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, and others.
The only thing i know is ill problaby buy a Fiio E17 and, if necessary, a Fiio E9K.
Do you think the HE400 is good for metal with female vocals? Or the HD600 would be preferable? And about HE500/HD650?
i rly would apreciate any help with this... Any suggestion would be pleased! I already read all reviews from all these and cant decide! LOL
What would be the best set for metal and gothic female music?
HD600 + Fiio E17 + Fiio E9K
HE400 + Fiio E17
i cant spend more than $ 700 in all set (amp/dac + HP) and must be not to big (preference portable one or little amp like E9K).
Ty to all!!!!

Cafe Racer (Yamaha VMax by JVB Moto)
(Legendado em Português) I know that there are already several good projects, based on the Yamaha VMax. But in my personal view, this is one of the best. Built by Vom Brauck, owner of "JVB Moto". Thanks to Yamaha, this machine was built inside the "Yard Built" program. Enjoy My Special Thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help in my poor english. Here are some interesting links about this bike: http://jvb-moto.com/rocknroll/?lang_pref=en http://www.kedo-jvb-moto.com/ https://www.facebook.com/JvBmoto http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/eu/products/motorcycles/sport-heritage/yard-buil t/vmax-infrared.aspx
Warren Racing's V Max
1990 Yamaha V Max. All stock internals with some bolt ons and damn fast. I call my V Max "The Bracket Killer" because the bike is deadly consistant on times during bracket races. As long as I cut a good light, the odds are in my favor that I will win. The bike runs within .02 of a sec every pass, and thats hand and foot shifting. No air shifters here.. John

I also watch C-SPAN. That's funded by cable providers and available only to their subscribers
So I have cable with a QAM tuner TV. The guy at Circuit City said I could get digital cable without having to rent a box from the cable company with it. Turns out, the only digital channels I get are the ones that come in over the air. Is/was this supposed to change on Feb 17?
Nope. This switch over was for over-the-air only, and remains so even with this new legislation. Your first mistake was listening to the guy at Circuit City. There's a really good chance that most cable companies will never send anything over in Clear QAM other than your over-the-air stations. Everything else will most likely remain encrypted, and only received with a cable box or cablecard compatible set top box or TV.
I've heard (but not sure about) there is a 5 year moratorium on cable companies turning off their analog (cable-ready) signals. Who knows what will happen after that point.

Bonds and Brands: Lessons from the 1820s
How does sovereign debt emerge and become sustainable? This paper provides a new answer to this unsolved puzzle. Focusing on the early 19th century, we argue that intermediaries' market power served to overcome information asymmetries and sustained the development of sovereign debt. Relying on insights from corporate finance, we argue that capitalists turned to intermediaries' reputations to guide their investment strategies. The outcome was a two-tier global bond market, which was sustained by hierarchical relations among intermediaries. This novel theoretical perspective is backed by new archival evidence and empirical data that have never been gathered so far.

HIV-related painful neuropathy (HIV-PN) is particularly challenging and nested within the already challenging problem of neuropathic pain (NP) management. Currently available medications that consistently demonstrate evidence, albeit modest, in painful diabetic neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia have failed to demonstrate any measurable benefit in HIV-PN [1]. Two manuscripts in this issue demonstrate efforts to address this problem in different ways. Harrison et al. applied the appealing approach of the blinded crossover study of combination analgesic therapy, an approach perhaps best demonstrated by Gilron et al. in their landmark study of morphine, gabapentin, and combination therapy in NP [2]. By contrast, Dorfman et al. used a nonpharmacologic approach, self-directed hypnosis, to treat HIV-PN. Only one can be considered a "positive" study but both are instructive.
Harrison et al. failed in their effort to complete the study of combination therapy because of inadequate subject recruitment in spite of best efforts. They speculate that this issue could be due to a broad variety of problems, including a (thankfully) smaller prevalence of HIV-PN than commonly believed, as well as several barriers to recruitment and retention of patients meeting inclusion criteria. Among these are the availability of study medication outside of the study, reluctance to washout from excluded medications and to participate in a placebo period, the stigma applied by many patients to the use of methadone and fear of addiction, and the regulatory restrictions imposed upon investigators when using a controlled substance as a study drug. All of these possibilities are reality and most likely it was combination of all of these factors. This experience illustrates the need for potential study sites to provide informed and conservative estimates of anticipated subject recruitment and for investigators to establish and adequately fund recruitment strategies as a critical component of study design. Study designs that allow adequate rescue, or use of time to failure of an intervention as an outcome measure, may alleviate concerns regarding placebo arms in pain clinical trials. In an era of increasing involvement of patient support and advocacy groups in the research process, it is also worthwhile to note that socially conscious patients may perceive a personal responsibility to participate in clinical research from which others will ultimately benefit.
In recognition of the limited benefit of pharmacologic interventions in HIV-PN, Dorfman et al. applied a self-hypnosis protocol to the treatment of HIV-PN and demonstrated benefit. They acknowledge that this was an unblinded investigation and a short-duration study. Further investigation will certainly be needed. Nonetheless, the approach is intuitively appealing not only because of the apparent benefit but also because it effectively demonstrates the value of active patient engagement in their pain management regimen and the potential for people in pain to experience a measure of control over their circumstances.
HIV-PN is still a challenge because it can cause severe pain and disrupts quality of life and because treatments that provide benefit in other pain disorders have been found consistently ineffective in HIV-PN []. Basic research into the mechanisms of HIV-related NP is needed. The studies in this issue of Pain Medicine should be taken as evidence of the need to meet the challenge with novel interventions, novel trial designs, and attention to the problem of subject recruitment and retention. In addition, clinical science should be able to better characterize patients with HIV-PN and define distinguishing features that separate it from other NP disorders, beyond failures to respond to specific pharmacological agents.

The sand ascended,
a whirlwind close-by.
In the tomb,
where the dead were lain to rest.
From this storm raised,
the aspect of Anubis;
the god that attends the dead,
to the hereafter...
With robust voice raised,
he let me know:
"Dead you go!"
My destiny written down.
A day hereafter,
in normal life;
I drowned into the lake,
death had grabbed me tight.

I think the frustration in this situation arose from discussing all
these ideas for the society, having them presented to the board, and
then not hearing a thing about what happened, how they could be made
workable, or anything, for over three weeks after the board meeting.
The discussions were on getting out more information in a useful
way, and stimulating more interest in pelargoniums which are not the
'hot' flower now. It seems that many people only know about the
commercial varieties.
Sometimes when you have a goal, you can reach it by many roads. If
the first road is closed (or decided not workable), you try other roads.
Open discussions are what get things going.

Celebrating Diversity #2Welcome to the 2nd edition of Celebrating Diversity! This series of articles aims to bring you outside of your comfort zone in terms of Art and showcase from a wider range of galleries to embrace the diverse nature of the submissions to deviantART. Not only are we stepping you outside your normal 'go to' galleries - but we as the writers of this fantastic series, are visiting places that we wouldn't normally go to as well.As humans , we are all different. We have so many types of all sorts of things in the world such as cars, jobs, flavours of crisps, hair colours and so on - as Charles De Gualle once said, " How can you govern a country that has 246 different types of cheese?" It's a challenge to embrace so many things, but one that we should try hard to accept.
Urban Exploration #5 Urban Exploration: The Motives? Back in November, Bradley Garrett discussed the motives and politics behind urban exploration at a talk in Brighton. The article afterwards opened up my eyes when I read it, whilst Bradley's views are strong and many disagree with them - he does have an underlying point. "We have a right to explore public infrastructure. Anything funded or maintained (or not maintained) by tax money belongs to us and we should be able to use it as we like as long as we don't permanently damage it or cause harm to the citizen body." What are your thoughts on the legalities and permissions of Urban Exploration? Do you agree or disagree with Bradley? Have you been 'caught out' Urban exploring in the past? Or have you stumbled across an explorer...? Read more here.This Weeks Features :bigthumb3523823

Photography Troubleshooting: How to work with MistGetting the camera out, and the scarf, hat and gloves, and heading into a misty morning or hazy evening can result in the best kind of photographs. Atmospheric, moody and ultimately a fine example of whatever current season you're in - these kinds of shots present themselves at awkward moments so it's vitally important to be prepared. In previous years I've got up at the crack of dawn and ventured out with all the excitement of a young child on their first day of school - only to come home with a grazed knee and broken felt tip pens. Or rather, washed out, blurred and altogether rubbish photographs.Fog is a popular mist - we often get confused and just term it all as fog or all as mist. It's not quite like that. It's all about the visibility, if we can see less than 1km through it then it's fog. If we can see between 1 - 2 km then it's mist. So when is the best time to catch these ground level clouds at their best? Fo
Photography Weekly: Edition Thirty SixPhotography Weekly Header created by TouchedD"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them."-William ShakespeareBasking in the glory of finally getting recognised for your hard efforts and photographic skill is pretty awesome and at the start of this week I took the opportunity to enjoy georgewjohnson's after he got published in a UK Photography Magazine. It's really nice when something like that happens and the knowledge that across the country - and because of deviantART and other networks - across the world, people are looking at your work. And if you're me, smiling! I once stumbled across lauren-rabbit's work in Black and White Photography Magazine and was truly proud that somebody I had found here on deviantART was here in my mag! So have you been published? Has your work received any recognition that makes you proud? What are your tips to getting out there and having your work showcased?
Photography Weekly: Edition Thirty FourPhotography Weekly Header created by TouchedD"One Signature is worth a thousand implied tones..."-Charles Swan -Copyright Expert In the news this week there has been a spotlight on Karren Brady, a photographer who has won a copyright ruling. The news article itself is interesting but the cautions that it turfs up for the future and current generations of photographers are slightly more concerning. The general feeling that has started to develop is that if you have assistance with setting up a shot, making a scene, posing a model and making up a person for example, those people may well have rights to your work. This is also being debated with regards to post-production and if you get somebody else to edit your work. What are your thoughts on this? And when attributing this to the deviantART community, what

Photography Troubleshooting: Capturing AutumnFor many Photographers, Autumn is now officially here and is one of the most exciting seasons to capture in terms of colour, change and vistas. Early morning mist, late afternoon sun, orange, red and golden hues - Autumn has a lot to offer in many countries. If you're like me, Autumn often arrives all at once and it can be tricky to know how to make the best of the season before it's over. A couple of days of high winds and rain can ruin the best Autumnal captures by ripping the leaves down before you've even got the chance to snap - so it's great to be prepared for the season.Leading lines are particularly useful. Yet so many people quote ' Look for leading lines...' or 'You've captured the leading lines here perfectly' and really do we even know properly what they are? The purpose of a leading line is to draw a viewers eye into the photograph and then on a journey - through it. Think of it as a visual narrative. They can be intentional and ind

Darren creates LED pictures of Skeletons Skateboarding, dancing and living - exploring what the Mail Online has termed as the bare bones of our daily lives. And it really is precisely that. Darren takes the ordinary, the mundane and the normal of everyday life and lights it up by night by painting bones. Check it out for yourself.

Presenting: Community VolunteersA BRIEF OVERVIEWOver the years, we've been proud to offer the opportunity to volunteer with deviantART. We believe that our volunteers play a crucial role in helping our community develop and grow in positive ways. The Gallery Moderator (previously known as Gallery Director) and Message Network Admin (MN@) teams have become a much loved and appreciated role, with many volunteers proudly detailing their experience in applications to enter into successful careers with companies who all recognise the value of volunteering in such a vibrant and eclectic community. Did you know that some of our now full time Staff were once volunteers? fourteenthstar, Moonbeam13, Pachunka, aunjuli, y2jenn, damphyr, Tachy-on, dxd and Ikue all volunteered in various roles -- and we are all very proud of that fact!Over the past few months, we've been taking a close look at the volunteer experience -- what's worked, what hasn't worked a

But this doesn't mean that I'm not paying attention to other genres of art here on deviantART. That is why I like the idea of "Celebrating Diversity".

A Glimpse into Futurism Art❖ IntroductionFuturism was an avant-garde artistic and social movement founded by the Italian writer, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, originated in Italy in the early 20th century. It emphasized and glorified themes related to the modern concepts of the future, including speed, technology, machinery, violence and objects such as cars, airplanes and industrial cities. It was largely an Italian phenomenon, though there were parallel movements in Russia and England.Futurist ideology influenced all types of art. It began in literature but spread to every medium, including painting, sculpture, industrial design, architecture, cinema and music.❖ CharacteristicsFuturism exalted the dynamism of the modern world, especially in science and technology.

- - Does this count as a water conditioner? (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/does-count-water-conditioner-10064/)
Does this count as a water conditioner?
I have these two... NovAqua plus ones just a water conditioner with vitamins n stuff. But I don't know if I have enough for another dose. It came with this stuff same brand... Remove nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, chlorine & chloramines... Does this mean it detoxifies tap water too?
Ew this stuff stinks... Like concentrated cat piss... Maybe I'll just not be lazy and measure out every litre I don't think this stuff is a good idea... sorry about the wasted post......
Let me begin by defining water conditioners. A water conditioner is any product, powder(solid or resin) or solution that removes chemicals or changes the composition of the water. An example of each would be Chlorine/chloromine removers and items such as softener pillows.
In answer to your question, yes, sort of. It detoxifies the water as to removing those items listed. It does not, however, remove metals or other contaminates that may harm your fish. Nor does it raise or lower pH. There is no single product on the market that completely removes harmful chemicals and truly conditions water that I am aware of.

Dell's Latitude Z laptop is a 16-inch thin-and-light notebook that weighs just 4.5 lbs. and is about an inch thick. ZDNet editor Andrew Nusca got a sneak peek of the system in New York. Here's a look.
Dell has revealed its new Latitude Z thin-and-light laptop, a 16-inch slab of angular portability packed with an array of business-centric features. Here's a look.
If you're looking for a system in that coveted notebook-netbook gray area -- that is, anywhere between 10 and 13 inches, non-inclusive -- Dell's new Inspiron 11z thin-and-light might do the trick. Here's a look.
Dell has announced its Vostro all-in-one PC, the company's first all-in-one "designed exclusively for small business." According to a Dell poll of small businesses, "cramped spaces and overcrowded desks are a headache for business owners."
Dell announced and made available today its Studio 14z, its budget, ultrathin, ultralight notebook with a 16:9 HD screen, Nvidia 9400m graphics and no optical drive for $649. The notebook fills the gap between the traditional laptop segment and the growing netbook segment.
13 pictures of the new Vostro A90, including some comparison shots between it and the Dell Mini 9 and some internal shots of the SSD and RAM slots as part of the migration process.
Dell's new Della line of computers and accessories uses pink and patterns to design gear that will attract female buyers.

Dell today announced its Studio One 19, an all-in-one desktop computer that the company says looks just as good in the family room as it does in the the kitchen. Intended for the "shared computing experience," the Studio One 19 comes with optional touch capability for a more interactive feel.
Laptop security is a top-shelf issue for IT pros, and there's nothing worse than data corruption from drops, spills and tech complications thanks to an employee or the environment they're in. Enter Dell's Latitude E6400 XFR, the company's next-gen "fully rugged" platform, engineered to meet the needs of the most demanding customers: the military, first responders, field service technicians and those who require systems that meet MIL STD 810F specs: drop tests, sea fog, temperature extremes, thermal shock and explosive environments.
Here you can see the Mini 9 (still running Windows XP) sitting on top of the MacBook Pro 15-inch unibody.
The 2209WA is a monitor with very few flaws. While we'd love to see 1:1 scaling, and the inset screen may cause some users grief, we wouldn't mind two of these sitting on our desk. This is the best 22-inch monitor we've seen.
The Dell M209X is a dependable projector that's inexpensive to maintain — as long as you don't mind the dull colours.
The 2135cn from Dell is a colour laser MFP with network support. While the 2135cn is a mixed bag in terms of quality and performance, it comes at a reasonable price.
The Dell Latitude E is a glimpse into the future of laptops. With high expandability, configurable and a strong design, it should suit most corporate environments.
Dell claims its Vostro 410 is an energy efficient, high performance PC for small businesses. While Dell's efficiency claims seem to be hot air, the 410 is a sleek, zippy and good value PC.
The Dell Vostro range, which comes in both notebook and desktop form factors, is designed for the small business market. We found the Vostro 1510 to have good performance for a mid-range notebook — but performance comes at the expense of battery life.
The Vostro 200 is the latest Dell desktop from a highly customisable series aimed at business. Overall this is a very attractive and functional machine, which will serve well in any office environment.
The Dell Vostro 1400 notebook is the latest in a range aimed at small business. It's powerful, classy and comes with an attractive price tag.
The Dell Optiplex 755 boasts strong performance for office demands in an attractive and convenient package.
For users on a budget, the Dimension 3100 has most of its bases covered despite there being alternatives that provide superior value for money.
The Inspiron 6400 is a mid-range notebook with an entry-level price tag. It'll handle most applications nicely, but it's a little on the heavy side and isn't suitable for gaming.
The 5100MP is a fine business projector, but it's less well suited for home cinemaphiles.
This 19in. LCD has all the right features: adjustability, excellent image quality and extras such as USB ports. All that, plus a reasonable price, makes the Dell UltraSharp 1905FP a winner.

First Look at Girl Meets World's Opening Credits
We're almost there, people.
In just five weeks, Girl Meets World — Disney Channel's ridiculously anticipated Boy Meets World spinoff, which follows the trials and tribulations of Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga's (Danielle Fishel) 12-year-old daughter Riley (Rowan Blanchard) — will finally make its small screen debut. And we've got a taste of what to expect from the new show: Check above to find the upcoming sitcom's opening credits, set to a bouncy tune called "Take On the World." (Yes, the vocals come from stars Blanchard and Sabrina Carpenter, who plays Riley's Shawn Hunter-esque BFF — but that doesn't mean either character is dying to be famous.)
Girl Meets World premieres June 27 at 9:45 p.m. ET on the Disney Channel. The first few episodes will also be available via Disney's WATCH Disney Channel streaming platform starting May 21 — a.k.a. tomorrow.

International controls on narcotics began over a hundred years ago. The War on Drugs began soon after. It became worse after 1971 and several years later, United Nations gave a call for a "drug–free world". Unfortunately, all the efforts made so far have failed to produce the desired results.
At the same time jails are filled with individuals found to have violated stringent drug laws. Sadly, most of these individuals happen to be drug users and not major drug traffickers.
A group of people in India, well experienced in drug law enforcement and demand reduction, wondered why we have not succeeded in curbing supply and demand of illicit drugs. A think tank, later launched as the
Institute for Narcotics Studies and Analysis (INSA)
, was thus born in 2009.

A Theory of Fed Watching in a Macroeconomic Policy Game
This paper examines the phenomenon of "Fed watching" within the context of a macroeconomic policy game. Following A. Cukierman and A. H. Meltzer's 1986 article, the policymaker's preferences are private information and noisy monetary control causes past observations of money growth to be a noisy signal of the monetary authority's future intentions. Individuals are allowed to acquire additional information about the monetary authority's preferences. Thus, both past observations of money growth and costly information about the policymaker's preferences are used by agents in forming expectations about policy. The public's acquisition of information alters the monetary authority's strategic calculus, making noisy monetary control less desirable.

Bioconcepts Selenium ACE is a powerful antioxidant formulation May help to fight against free radicals that cause damage to cells within the body May help boost the immune system May help the body fight disease through helping to neutralise free radicals What is Selenium ACE? The antioxidant complex of Selenium ACE combines the free-radical fighting power of Selenium with vitamins A, C and E for optimum defensive sustenance.Selenium and Vitamins A, C and E have the power to boost the immune system and limit the damage done by free radicals which can trigger illnesses. Free radicals are the unbalanced molecules produced as by-products of normal body metabolism. Such free radicals attack other cells and can lead to illness/disease. A healthy body will not be affected but a poor diet, pollution and disease can leave your body extremely vulnerable. Selenium alongside Vitamins A,C and E are the antioxidants which even out free radicals and boost the immune system. Why take Selenium ACE? Antioxidants are imperative for reversing free radicals which test the immune system and speed upthe visible signs of ageing. Selenium and Vitamins A, C and E all have antioxidant properties.To ensure that you are provided with plenty of extra support and to maintain your reserves, take Selenium ACE daily. You should be sure to incorporate a wide range of antioxidants into your diet, some which are water-soluble like vitamin C and others that are fat-soluble like vitamins A & E. By maintaining a broader range of numerous types of antioxidant nutrients, instead of larger amounts of just one single antioxidant, you will be able to promote good health. Take Selenium ACE if you want to: Help maintain good overall health Help your body fight against free radical cell damage Help boost your immune system Help promote your body's good health How does Selenium ACE work? The science behind the secret... Free radicals are oxygen molecules that possess incompatible pairs of electrons. The lack of compatible electrons cause free radicals to travel around the body creating mayhem as they try and steal electrons from other molecules. Antioxidants are molecules stable enough to give an electron to a free radical and thus neutralise it. An overabundance of free radicals within the body damages cells, causing them to age and degenerate (otherwise known as oxidative stress). Antioxidants slow down the rate of oxidative stress and stabilise free radical molecules that could otherwise cause serious health implications. Selenium ACE can deliver the necessary antioxidants to fight these free radicals. They minimise cell damage and strengthen the body's immunity by stabilising the free radicals, thus helping to reduce damage to the body that could potentially cause illness and disease. Is it right for me? Antioxidants are imperative for reversing free radicals which test the immune system and speed up the visible signs of ageing. Selenium and Vitamins A, C and E all have antioxidant properties. To ensure that you are provided with plenty of extra support and to maintain your reserves, take Selenium ACE daily. Always consult your GP before taking any supplement. In The Press | Daily Mail Could a simple pill costing 30p a day be the answer to getting pregnant? Health Article: Daily Mail, Sophie Borland, 2011 A 30p multi-vitamin pill could more than double a woman's chance of having a baby, according to a study. It found that 60 per cent of those taking the supplements while undergoing IVF became pregnant compared to just a quarter who did not take them. Researchers say the pills contain nutrients that may boost fertility such as vitamins C and E, zinc and selenium, that are often absent from our diets. The study carried out at University College London involved 56 women aged 18 to 40, who had all tried unsuccessfully to fall pregnant using IVF for at least a year. Half were given a multi-nutrient pill to take every day and the other half given folic acid pills

Clippers sign rookie Brandon DaviesSeptember 5th, 2013, 3:41 pm by BY DAN WOIKE
The Clippers announced that they've agreed to terms with undrafted rookie free agent Brandon Davies. While the terms of the contract haven't been announced, Davies' deal with the team is only partially guaranteed.
The Clippers first agreed to the deal in July, but it wasn't made official until Thursday.
Davies averaged 5.8 points and 4 rebounds during the NBA's Summer League in Las Vegas this summer.
"We really liked Brandon in Summer League," Clippers Head Coach and Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations Doc Rivers said. "We like his ability to play multiple positions and he fits with our team. He understands team basketball and has been in here all summer working on his game."
In college at BYU, Davies was a member of the All-West Coast Conference first team as a junior and a senior, averaging 17.7 points and 8.0 rebounds in his final year in college.Read the rest of this entry »

Scouts pledge to do 'better'
Top officials from the Boy Scouts of America Orange County Council apologized for "mistakes" during a January trip to Key West and pledged to improve management practices in letters sent to 40,000 scouting volunteers and supporters last week.
The letters respond to an Orange County Register report that scouting executives from Orange County and around the nation gathered at a Florida resort, dined on prime rib, coconut shrimp and artichoke hearts stuffed with goat cheese and played golf and went fishing on the Boy Scout's dime.
The executives - from the nation's 25 largest Boy Scout councils - met, dined and played to the tune of at least $27,236, including a bar tab of more than $200.
Orange County scouting chief Les Baron and two other executives spent $5,200 on accommodations at the hotel, including the hotel's deluxe Hemingway Suite, documents show. The scouts have refused to disclose the total lodging bill for all 31 executives.
The expenses were originally charged to the Orange County council but most were later reimbursed by other scout councils.
However, some of the bills for alcoholic beverages—scouting officials said less than $100-and $516 in golf fees were not paid back by Baron until after he was interviewed by a Register reporter, officials confirmed.
"We acknowledge that some mistakes were made in our reimbursement practices," said the letter from David Hirz, chairman of the Orange County Council's executive board. "I have directed staff to revisit the reimbursement policies, and general travel and expense guidelines, to ensure that everyone is familiar with our guidelines and procedures."
Hirz accused the Register of painting the Boy Scouts "solely in a negative light." Hirz also said that the Boy Scouts provided the Register with written documentation that supported the Scouts' side of the story.
In fact, the Boy Scouts refused to provide the Register with proof of reimbursements or give a total accounting of what was spent on the five-day meeting.
The two letters to the scouts and their supporters didn't detail the spending either.
"I apologize for the mistakes that were made," Baron wrote, "and I pledge to you that I will continue to develop better management practices and grow from these mistakes."
The "Metro Council Management Meeting" is a decades-old annual event, Hirz said in the letter, that gives executives a chance to brainstorm on expanding membership and improving programs.
"The five-day meeting included more than 18 hours of business meetings as well as sanctioned recreational activities to provide networking, and one-on-one opportunities with the Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America," Hirz wrote.
The letters have met with some skepticism from scouting supporters.
Betty Yamamuro, the mother of Wolf Cub from Irvine, said the letters were inappropriately addressed to her 8-year-old son and left her with unanswered questions. Yamamuro said she doesn't agree that Scout executives should have the same kind of travel perks as private business people.
"They should be held to a higher standard because of what they represent," said Yamamuro, 43.
Don Roberts of Fullerton, father of an Eagle Scout, feels that the letters, and the Register, both missed the mark.
He understands the need for an executive meeting, but wonders why it was at a Key West resort whose Internet site is adorned with a photo of a topless woman.
"We have all these properties they could have used that could have been more economical," said Roberts, "I think they should address why it should be at non-Scout properties."
Dean Whinery of Brea, a long-time volunteer and one-time Boy Scouts employee, said the letters didn't answer all the questions, but, "My gut reaction is that the council chairman and executive are trying to be up front about the whole thing."
Debate about the letters was not confined to Southern California. Internet scouting forums have seen heated exchanges from scouting advocates across the country.
"Staggeringly tone-deaf," wrote John Conley of New York's Finger Lakes Council. "I don't happen to think this meeting is a big deal, but this explanation only reinforces the perception that these (scouting executives) are completely out of touch.
"People have the *perception* that the meeting was needlessly expensive. People know that every dollar spent on this meeting is a dollar not spent on Scouts, and have the *perception* that it could have been done...well, more 'thriftily. I haven't noticed a shortage of golf courses in Orlando, and it's a whole lot cheaper than Key West. This was not addressed *at all.*"
In Chicago, Reinhard Plaut largely dismissed the letters as "typical PR stuff" that "begs the question regarding fiscal responsibility."
"In the total scheme of things $27,000 is not a lot of money. The judgment of these high priced executives is another matter," he wrote in an email to the Register. " It's another reason why membership is declining. Those in charge proclaim 'timeless values,' that they simply do not know how to live by."
On the web forum, Roy Fisher wrote, "I am impressed that they were able to work in a full 18 hours of business meetings in five days….And Les Baron reminds the members that 'You can be proud of our Council, which is ranked among the top 10 in the country for youth and volunteer participation and fiscal responsibility. I might ask, if this is representative of the top 10, how screwed up are those nearer the bottom? BSA could be in worse shape than might be imagined."
The debate over the trip comes at a time when the Boy Scouts of America, as a national organization, is facing financial challenges: Revenue declined for three straight years (from $208 million to $115 million), and spending on actual programs for kids declined for three straight years as well (from $191 million to $152 million), according to tax returns.
The organization earned just two of four possible stars from Charity Navigator, an organization that analyzes the fiscal health of nonprofit groups, and its sustainability is a concern, said Sandra Miniutti of Charity Navigator.
Boy Scouts of America officials said Charity Navigator isn't looking at the latest figures. They say the organization is on the rebound.

Nexans facilitates the daily work of the professional electricians thanks to EASYCALC™, its free and new cable sizing tool
Designed for professionals, EASYCALC™ provides a reliable solution for their electrical installation
Paris, July 10, 2014 – Nexans, a global expert in the cabling industry, announces the launch of EASYCALC™, a free new cable sizing tool. EASYCALC™ aims at professional electricians and installers. It helps them quickly and easily determine the appropriate cable cross-section for their electrical installation. Distributors will also benefit from the tool to support their own customers on a day-to-day basis by performing the calculation themselves.
Cable sizing is essential to ensure the proper functioning of an electrical installation. The cables installed must ensure the full and above all safe electrical supply of the whole installation. EASYCALC™ is therefore set to become part of installers' daily work enabling them to determine the cable cross section best suited to their needs.
EASYCALC™ is available online from the Nexans website (www.nexans.fr/easycalc) or as a smart phone application (cell phone and tablet) for electrical installers on the move (on a worksite, at a client's premises, etc.). The smart phone application can be downloaded from the Apple Store and Google Play. The application requires an internet connection to work.
Following the tool's successful launch in France, Nexans plans to expand its roll-out to other countries in the short/medium term.
How to use EASYCALC™
EASYCALC™ allows professionals to perform a calculation in four quick and simple steps. The first three steps require information about the installation. First, the user enters general details about the installation (intensity or power, length, voltage and current type (single phase or three phases)). The user then chooses the appropriate cable out of the most common cable families used in electrical installations to fit the specific configuration. Once the cable type has been chosen, the user will have to specify the type of conductor (single core, multicore, with or without protective earth, with or without neutral, number of cables per phase). Afterwards the user specifies the installation conditions (open-air or buried) and the laying option. In order to ease the selection, pictograms are displayed all along the way ensuring a better visualization of the chosen information.
Finally, the tool will provide a precise result based on the parameters that have been keyed in. In addition to a simple and theoretical calculation, EASYCALC™ provides the appropriate Nexans reference with a direct link to the product datasheet. The user can also print out or send the results via email.

Bulgarian author Miroslav Penkov has won the £15,000 BBC International Short Story Award for his story East of the West.
The announcement was made live on Radio 4's Front Row from a ceremony at the Free Word Centre in London. South African Henrietta Rose-Innes was the runner-up, winning £2,500 for her story Sanctuary.
Penkov emerged victorious from a strong global shortlist that included stories from Man Booker-shortlisted Deborah Levy as well as previous winner Julian Gough and M J Hyland, who was shortlisted in 2011.
Set in Bulgaria during and after the Cold War, East of the West explores the difficulties of love, relationships and identity in a region ridden with conflict and sectarian violence. The narrator takes us from his childhood through to present day, ruminating on the loves and losses which both constrain and define his life.
"I wanted to write a story about those Bulgarians who, at the will of the Great Powers, were severed from our country, and who inevitably will lose, if they haven't already, their sense of being Bulgarian," Penkov said.
"At the same time, I wanted to write a story about myself, abroad in America and in many ways alone, with a huge body of water between me and the people I love."
BBC Radio 4 broadcaster Clive Anderson chaired the judging panel this year, joined by novelists Anjali Joseph and Ross Raisin, novelist and Emeritus Professor of Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, Michèle Roberts, and Editor of Readings, BBC Radio, Di Speirs.
This year, as a one-off, and the first time since it launched in 2006, the judges invited authors from across the globe to enter alongside UK practitioners. To reflect the global breadth of the International Award in 2012 the shortlist comprised ten short stories rather than the usual five. The eight other shortlisted authors received £250.
"Storytelling lies at the heart of Radio 4 and I am proud to say that we broadcast more stories each year than anyone, anywhere in the world," said Gwyneth Williams, Controller, BBC Radio 4.
