Bridging March
Lying on your back, lift your hips to a full bridging position. Lift one foot off the mat while maintaining the bridging position. Do not allow your hips to drop. Return to start position. Now, lift other foot. Continue by repeating exercise.
Sidelying Clam
Lie on your side with elastic band around your thighs just above your knees. Keeping your feet together, lift the upper leg off the lower leg. Lift only as high as is comfortable and do not allow your back to rotate. You should keep your spine stable throughout the exercise and isolate the motion to the hip.
Sidelying Hip Abduction
Lying on your side, bend the knee of the bottom leg while keeping the upper leg straight. Lift the upper leg again, isolating motion to the hip. Don't lift too high and keep the spine stable. You want to focus on keeping your leg in line with your trunk and your foot parallel to the ground.

Researchers had subjects ingest either 25 grams of whey protein isolate alone or 6.25 grams of whey with 3 grams of added leucine (the same amount found in 25 grams of whey) after rest and again after exercise. Compared to fasting, rates of muscle protein synthesis up to 5 hours after the feedings of either whey or whey plus leucine were significantly increased, but were similar between both test groups. However, when comparing the groups 3 to 5 hours after resistance exercise, the whey-only group resulted in nearly a two-fold greater increase in muscle protein synthesis.
The implications of these findings are that adding extra leucine to smaller amounts of whey can provide benefits similar to larger amounts of whey during rest (non-exercising conditions), but that 25 grams of whey alone provides a more sustained increase in muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise.

The Tigers sweep their dual meet with Tualatin and appear poised to strike at districts next week
Unlike the previous week, when Newberg did just enough to sweep its midweek dual versus Glencoe while mostly resting up ahead of its weekend trip to the prestigious Centennial Invitational, the Tigers placed most of their focus on defeating league rival Tualatin April 30 ahead of Fridays Jesuit Relays.
Traditionally, Newberg has not had the kind of depth needed to compete in the team competition at the latter meet, so head coach Brandon Ramey did not concentrate on his teams preparation for the Friday night meet.
The result was a satisfying sweep of the Timberwolves and a few standout performances in Beaverton.
While the boys cruised to a rather easy 89-56 victory, the Tiger girls surprised Ramey with a rather comfortable 79.5-65.5 win to even their league record at 2-2.
Maybe theyre a little better than Ive given them credit for at this point, Ramey said. When they compete, I think they can run with anyone in our district. I think were coming into our own a little bit. We have a lot of young talent thats starting to improve and now it seems like the girls are right about where they should be.
Among Newbergs many event victories, Megan Myers broke out with a personal-best time of 26.60 to win the 200.
Shes a naturally gifted runner, but it hasnt come to fruition on the track, Ramey said. Its starting to do that now. She ran a fast enough time that she can compete at the district level and really make a name for herself.
The distance crew was also strong for Newberg, as Rebeca De Leon, Katie Reohr and Grace Hanna went 1-2-3 in the 800, Hanna won the 1,500 (5:20.20), and Debora DeLeon won the 3,000 (11:34.28).
Other winners on the day were Natalie Peterson in the javeline (117-9) and 300 hurdles (51.77), the 4 x 100 relay team (51.50), Emma Burridge in the 100 hurdles (17.85) and the high jump (4-8), and Isobel Bailey in the discus (89-3).
It was Peterson who made most noise at the Jesuit Relays, earning the teams highest finish by placing third in the javelin.
Her mark of 128-0 was just nine inches shy of the personal-best and the NHS freshmen record of 128-9 she set a week earlier at Centennial.
Anytime you get any type of javelin record at this school, its something to talk about, Ramey said. So for her to do that and then come back and do it at Jesuit kind of speaks for itself. Its a big deal.
Zane Burgess paced the boys in both the dual meet and at Jesuit, setting a new personal best (14.72) to win the 110 hurdles against Tualatin, then besting that mark (14.65) to place third at Jesuit. If he continues to drop time, he will likely break Jacob Petries school record of 14.51, set in 2012.
His times keep coming down and all of a sudden hes getting on the radar for everyone, Ramey said. There are always surprises this time of year and hes probably one of them that people didnt think about or know about.
Still recovering from a back injury suffered at Centennial, Stanford recruit Trevor Danielson nearly matched his season best with a throw of 192-0 to place third at Jesuit, while Jack Kerwin also scored points with his season-best leap of 21-1.5 to finish seventh in the long jump.
The Tigers will finish the dual meet season Wednesday in a four-way confrontation versus Century, Forest Grove and Tigard in Tigard, where a win by the boys would wrap up an undefeated season.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million, or 9%, to $4.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 from $3.8 million for the same period in 2012.
Revenues for the year ended Dec. 31 were $23.7 million, compared with $24.1 million for the same period in 2012. Direct costs increased to $7.7 million for the recent year from $6.2 million during 2012.

The company ended 2013 with 3,204 subscribing venues, compared with 3,638 at the close of 2012. Some 200 NTN Buzztime locations are now equipped with the company's new BEOND platform.
"During the fourth quarter, we began the commercial deployment of the Buzztime BEOND platform to both new and current customers including, most notably, Buffalo Wild Wings, which piloted the platform extensively and committed to a chain-wide deployment," said Buzztime interim chief executive Jeffrey Berg. "We will continue to add features, functionalities and services to the platform, proliferate it into the marketplace and develop new consumer revenue streams based upon premium entertainment experiences.
"We ended the year with approximately $5.5 million in cash after closing a private placement during the quarter, which enhances our ability to continue to execute on our growth plans," Berg continued.

Separately, Bob Cooney, who most recently held executive posts at NSM Music and Ecast, has joined NTN Buzztime as chief operating officer.

Just like the CEO's shirt, Microsoft is FADING away.....
HAHA, you guys take everything too seriously!
I'm just wondering why the CEO is wearing a Hypercolor shirt from the 80's?
Was he sweating profusely or something before taking this picture?
I have no problem with Microsoft but I can not stand Ballmer.
He needs to change his shirt. Looks like he just ran up 10 flights of stairs...
Also Windows needs to change everything about its code. If Microsoft could make a quality computer that doesnt lock up for minutes at a time and where I could actually close programs and they actually close. I might think about buying a PC. But there are just too many problems with PC's. Its like they are trying to fix an old pot-holed road by patching it with hot-mix blacktop when Apple has a nice new 5 lane wide Concrete Freeway. Microsoft needs to tear up that old one lane road and start over...
.. and fail miserably.
[QUOTE=iDeadman;6610950]It's only "#1" because any poor man can afford a PC. Doesn't mean they would prefer it. I'm sure if Apple sold 100 different PCs at $300, the shoe would be on the other foot. It's not #1 because it's the best, it's #1 because it's affordable.
This really has nothing to do. I recently bought a new laptop and had enough money for either a PC or a Mac. I myself prefer PC over Mac for two reasons. The GUI and the third party software. It really is a matter of choice and not price in most cases.
I've had my old Satellite A215 for going on 5 years now.. Original Hard Drive. I've never had any problems at all with anything. Most issues people have are user error. Don't download crap, don't go on suspicious websites, and you'll be fine. Another thing, Viruses plague PC's because PC's are the most common OS. Now that Apple is becoming more popular, we are seeing an increase in Apple threats in new Viruses and Spyware.
Its subliminal: pitstains = hard work.
I grew up with 4 pcs over the years with windows dating back to windows 95. We've always had viruses. Weve done the blue screen. And I wanted something new for a change so I got the white MacBook jut before it got discontinued and no problems for 4 years now. Everything just works. I don't have a problem with windows at all and I'm not a fanboy but when I do want something to just work I go with apple.
This guy is on acid or something.......going to go toe to toe with Apple, ask him about the Zune. As Dr. Phil would say "So, you created your own music device.....How's that working for ya".

A message from the Interim Managing Director, Alistair Mackie
"Like most charities, the Philharmonia has sustained its position as one of the world's great orchestras throughout the decades thanks to the continued support of our patrons.
Whether you have supported us loyally from the very start, attended or participated in our important education projects, listened to our recordings or have recently attended your very first Philharmonia concert, you are part of the circle of support that we simply couldn't live without. Every gift makes a difference, and we are grateful for them all.
Something important to think about in your planning for the future is how you can support the causes most dear to you through a gift in your Will. Legacies provide an important and ongoing source of income for the Orchestra, preserving its heritage and helping to secure its future. Perhaps there's a specific element of the Philharmonia's work that you have particularly enjoyed throughout your life, or perhaps the Orchestra has simply been a huge source of enjoyment for you over the years. As you watch this film, I hope you will be able to see and understand the full breadth of the Philharmonia's work as an innovator, educator, and world-class musical institution.
Legacies enable this work to happen. Please remember the Philharmonia in your Will, and safeguard the work of this magnificent orchestra for the enjoyment of future generations, forever.
With your support, anything is possible."
Alistair Mackie, Interim Managing Director

Netanyahu to cabinet: Reform Tal Law ´responsibly´ (JERUSALEM POST) By JEREMY SHARON, JERUSALEM POST STAFF 04/22/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=267083
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
The Tal Law will be reformed in a "responsible" manner to address the social and manpower problems it has caused, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said during a cabinet meeting on Sunday.
The Tal Law, which provided the legal framework for haredi (ultra- Orthodox) men to indefinitely defer military service, was ruled illegal by the High Court of Justice in February.
During Sundays meeting, Netanyahu reminded the cabinet that he had publicly declared that the Tal Law would be replaced even before the High Court ruling, referring to statements he made back in January.
The nature of the prime ministers comments in January were somewhat ambiguous however, and the Prime Minister refused to clarify at the time whether the government wanted to merely reform the law or scrap it completely.
On Sunday, Netanyahu told the cabinet that the new law would create a "more equal, just and fair balance for the state of Israel and all of its citizens, both Arabs and Jews.
He nevertheless emphasized the importance of not pitting one sector of society against another, in reference to the strident criticism leveled by Kadima and other opposition parties at the Tal Law and the haredi community for the low level of military service participation in the ultra-Orthodox sector.
This is important now and at all times, the prime minister said.
Earlier, opposition leader Shaul Mofaz called on Netanyahu not to bury his head in the sand, and to stop stalling reform of the Tal Law.
Speaking at Jerusalems new Camp Sucker protest site in the Whol Rose Park opposite the Knesset, Mofaz stated that Kadima would propose a new law at the start of the new Knesset session, but emphasized that the proposal would not be a law against anyone - we call on everyone to serve like our children serve.
Military service is not a burden, rather it is a great privilege, the Kadima party leader continued. But it is also an obligation and it is time that the obligation apply to everyone.
Kadima MK Yohanan Plesner, who was chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense working group for implementing the Tal Law, told The Jerusalem Post that those who insist on obligatory military or national service for all are watching the prime minister closely to ensure that the new legislation is not simply Tal Law Two, to appease the haredi parties without solving the issues.
If the new proposals dont include mandatory service then we will assemble a coalition of Zionist parties to pass a different law, Plesner said.
On Thursday, Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin met with senior haredi leader Rabbi Aharon Leib Shteinman saying that both sides need to act responsibly in order to reach agreement and understanding.
Rivlin has previously emphasized the importance for the government to reach agreement, arguing that coercive measures to mandate obligatory service would result in thousands of haredim going to jail instead of the army.
Earlier on Sunday, Plesner told dozens of protestors camped out in the Wohl Rose Park, that the only way to ensure the countrys future was to maintain the IDF as the peoples army, in which everyone serves.
Especially during the week between Holocaust Remembrance Day and Independence Day, it is critical that we remember that the model of the people´s army is in danger of collapse, Plesner said. The annulment of the Tal Law has provided us with a one-time opportunity to fix the distortion of our values and to save the only model for military and national service which can preserve our existence in this land.
The Tal Law will expire on August 1 so new legislation to replace it must be drafted during the Knessets summer session. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 04/22/12)

Windows 7 and Office 2010 Updates
The Office of Information Technology is preparing for Windows 7 and Office 2010 on-campus with plans to have the computer labs and ITECs migrated to Windows 7 and Office 2010 by Fall Semester. For our Mac Lab computers on-campus, we are planning to roll out Office 2011 by the Fall Semester.
As part of our preparations we are looking for early adopters who would like to be migrated to Windows 7 and Office 2010 (or Office 2011 for Mac users) to give us feedback on the transition. For individuals who want to wait to upgrade their office computer to the new operating system, we have loaded a section of the 24 hr. Kearney Lab with a Windows 7 image for you to preview the operating system. OIT will be modifying the image that is deployed to campus computers based on feedback from the early adopters. Early adopters will be given training material to help in the transition from Windows XP to Windows 7. The early adopters will give feedback about the training material to help OIT determine the materials that are the most useful. If you are interested in being an early adopter, please contact the OIT Help Desk at 8016 or by email email@example.com.
Please note that OIT is currently working with Microsoft for Work at Home licensing and media. Microsoft changed the activation model with Office 2010 forcing Fisher to look at other options for Work at Home privileges.
Individuals whose computers will be upgraded this spring can request Windows 7 and Office 2010 instead of Windows XP and Office 2007. Please note that OIT is still evaluating the impact of Windows 7 and Office 2010 on all the applications used across campus.
Over the summer, departments who want to migrate to Windows 7 and Office 2010 will be able to sign up. Individual computers that are upgraded in the fall will be upgraded with computers running Windows 7 and Office 2010.

Tornados raise over $1,200 at annual Play 4Kay GameFebruary 20, 2012
All proceeds from game went to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College basketball teams hosted their annual Play 4Kay Day, on Saturday, February 18th, against Lenoir-Rhyne University.
All Brevard College basketball players, coaches and support staff wore pink t-shirts, sponsored by the Transylvania Regional Hospital throughout the game day events to promote awareness of the disease. All proceeds from the games are to be donated to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund and additional donations were also collected throughout the afternoon's festivities. Donations from the February 18th events exceeded $1,200.
The Brevard College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee sold breast cancer awareness t-shirts and other assorted items throughout the evening, while the Transylvania Regional Hospital had a table set up in the lobby of Boshamer Gymnasium handing out informative pamphlets and literature on breast cancer. For the second straight year, the BC women's starting lineup was announced alongside local breast cancer survivors and all parties involved had a great time at the event.
Over 600 students, fans and alumni filled the seats of Boshamer Gymnasium for this worthy cause, as the Tornados look to continue their support of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund for years to come.
The Play 4Kay initiative is a global, unified effort for the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's (WBCA) nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond.

West Valley City • Mone Latu has gotten a chance to watch the new building slowly take shape next to the football field. It will be the new Granger High School, a more expansive and expensive facility for the thousands of students in West Valley.
The senior won't go there. His is the final graduating class from the place where his older brothers and sisters went to school. And he's proud of that.
"I don't want to go to the new school anyway," Latu said. "It means a lot to me that they went here."
His brothers also played football for Granger, but they sacrificed their athletic careers to take care of their younger siblings after the family lost their father 14 years ago.
Latu, a 6-foot-1, 240-pound linebacker and defensive end, now has the chance to make something of the sacrifice. His coaches and his family know he has the talent to be a college player. It's up to him to fulfill his potential.
"I'd probably be with foster parents or something without them," he said. "Football is how I show appreciation."
Latu's football career has been anything but straightforward. It's been rocky, zig-zagging, filled with starts and stops. Even this season, Latu has struggled with injury and discipline as he works to become the player everyone around him envisions.
Coach Cecil Thomas, who was at Weber State before taking the Granger job this year, sees the ideal foundation. Latu is explosive, and he has quick feet and strength to push around blockers. He terrorized Viewmont for five sacks this year.
But his physicality isn't the only aspect of his game that makes him a standout player. It's the ripple effect his play has on the Granger defense.
"He's an alpha," Thomas said. "Guys look up to him. When he plays hard, everyone else plays hard. When he's not focused, other guys aren't focused."
Those flashes of potential are what is so exhilarating about Latu. He has seven sacks this year despite missing three games. The coaching staff moved him from outside linebacker to defensive lineman, and his quickness has helped him excel in that role.
But Latu is the first to admit it's been difficult to get into the lockstep routine that the new Granger staff has set out for him. He started the season as a captain, then was demoted, then brought back as a captain as his attitude toward the team changed.
He's just starting to accept that he must grow into a leadership role for the Lancers.
"At first, I didn't know why I was a captain," he said. "But I guess younger guys look up to me. I used to do my own thing. I never realized that before."
There still are some questions about Latu's college future, but he's working harder on his academics to that end. Thomas said improving his star senior's grades is the first priority before he takes other steps and pulls other strings.
The more pressing issue for Latu is the current season. Granger is 5-2, but it's not the first time the Lancers have had some hope. They were looking like a lock for the postseason last year but just missed their shot in the last week.
The more comfortable Latu becomes as a leader for his team, the more he hopes he can push Granger to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2005.
It's not just his own aspirations on the line.
"We don't want to repeat last year," he said. "Even if I have a good game, I'm not going to be happy with how the result goes if we lose. We just have to cement this together, to keep working hard."
Twitter: @kylegoon
Mone Latu growing up for Granger
In four games, Latu has 31 tackles and seven sacks.
He switched over from linebacker to defensive end.
Latu also has started playing one way after starting the season at fullback.

Dear Tax Talk,
I own a small company with only a couple of employees. We have a health insurance plan that repays employees' health insurance premiums for plans they obtain. Thus it is a deductible business expense.
One of my employees is a retiree who continues to receive health insurance through his former employer -- but he must pay monthly after-tax premium contributions for this coverage. My question is: Can my company repay him and deduct the expense for these premium contributions to his former company's plan?
-- Mark
Dear Mark,
You say your employee is a retiree? But if he is an employee of yours, then how is he retired? Let's just say he's an employee and he gets his health coverage from a former employer. Presumably it is either cheaper or better that he does this rather than go on your plan.
Well, it is pretty clear that if he were on your health plan, the premiums that you as his employer pay would not be considered wages to him. But in that case you would be paying the insurance provider directly. In this case, however, you'd be giving the employee a payment directly. If a payment is made to an employee, the employer has to determine if it is a qualified fringe benefit exempt from taxes. Otherwise employment taxes are due.
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 105, payments to an employee to reimburse for otherwise deductible medical care expenses, including insurance, are excludable from wages. Reimbursements have to be made under an accountable expense plan. This means that the employee needs to provide to you sufficient evidence to justify the reimbursement. For example, a copy of the insurance bill would be sufficient evidence.
Such payments for insurance premiums would be deductible by the employer.

When asked about the second season of FX's "American Horror Story," Executive Producer Ryan Murphy told online magazine Deadline.com that "This year's theme is about sanity and tackling real-life horrors."
There is plenty of horror at the Briarcliff Mental Institution in 1964, as doctors perform savage experiments on patients. The staccato camera shots and use of shadows evoke music videos by agro-industrial bands like Nine Inch Nails and Tool, but rather than making things scarier, just tend to make them more distracting. The repeated use of the Singing Nun's inexplicable 1963 hit "Dominique" doesn't help matters, either.
The place is run by Jessica Lange's sadistic Sister Jude, a nun with a drinking problem and a mean streak. She's at odds with the sadistic Dr. Arthur Arden (James Cromwell), who evokes the spirit—and methods—of Josef Mengele.
Wednesday's episode – part of a season-long story arc – examines the problems of gauging reality and identity, always issues in a mental hospital.
It opens with Sister Jude meeting a young woman who's been brought in after attacking a bar patron who made an anti-Semitic joke. The woman identifies herself as Anne Frank, later explaining that she didn't die in a concentration camp, but escaped and married an American soldier who later died in the Korean War.
The scene is juxtaposed with Dr. Arden approaching a woman tied to a table who asks "Am I gonna die?" to which he replies, "Not exactly. As a matter of fact, after this you'll probably live forever."
In the kitchen, Kit Walker (Evan Peters), institutionalized for killing a number of young women but saying aliens did it, then tells Grace (Lizzie Brocheré) that rather than forget her story, she must tell it out loud in order to deal with it and she recounts getting out of bed to see her family murdered by a man with an axe, after which she was blamed and no one believed her story. Kit tells her that he believes her and that "you'll fly again."
Meanwhile, the visiting Dr. Oliver Thredson (Zachary Quinto) tells Lana Winters (Sarah Paulson), a journalist who'd come to expose Briarcliff but wound up a patient after Sister Jude found out she's a lesbian, that he doesn't think she's crazy and wants to get her out of the asylum.
When Dr. Arden meets the patient who calls herself Anne Frank, she yells that she recognizes him from Auschwitz. Later, Sister Jude rejects her explanation of her identity, but listens when Anne tells her that "you have a Nazi working here," and we see a flashback to the camp, where a young Dr. Arden experiments on young girls. But this revelation, as with each plot twist, must be taken with several grains of salt.
Dr. Thredson then tells Kit that he'd lie for him to keep him from getting executed, but that Kit must admit to the killings, which in "Silence of the Lambs" fashion, involved removing victims' skin, along with their heads. But Kit still blames the aliens.
Lana then fantasizes about getting an award for her expose, saying "I did what I had to do what I had to do to get out," which we later see involves aversion therapy and a bucket in which to vomit while looking at pictures of scantily clad women and then touching a real-life naked man. Needless to say, the treatment doesn't work.
Kit and Grace then speak of their alleged crimes, then have sex in the kitchen and are caught and threatened with sterilization by Sister Jude, so they won't have "murder babies." Before they're separated, a younger nun shows Kit Grace's file, which shows that she really did commit the axe murders.
Sister Jude attempts to help detectives investigate Dr. Arden for beating a prostitute, but Monsignor Timothy Howard (Joseph Fiennes) chides her, mocks her story about Anne seeing him at the concentration camp, then warning the doctor that "if you have any housekeeping to take care of, I suggest you take care of it now." Dr. Arden by now has removed the lower legs of the patient in a gruesome experiment. Sister Jude confides in an older nun, who tells her to be resolute.
Grace tells Kit she committed the murders, explaining that she had to kill her father because he molested her and her stepmother because covered it up. She asks Kit, "Are you repulsed?" and he says "No, I admire you."
Dr. Thredson apologizes to Lena that the therapy didn't work, returns a photo of her and repeats that he's going to get her out.
Kit asks Sister Jude if God knows if he committed the crimes and says he needs forgiveness.
The episode ends after Dr. Arden throws Anne into the torture room, saying, "Your lies have caused me a great deal of embarrassment." She then pulls a gun on him, shoots him and makes him give her the key to the side room, which she opens to reveal the tortured woman who, looking up at her with the gun, says, "Kill me."

Adnan Oktar: If Muslims say, "Our Lord, make the Turkish Islamic Union happen at once, we are ready our Lord", they will see it happen.
The Gulf Today, November 2-2008
Adnan Oktar: A TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION WILL EMERGE UNDER THE TURKISH LEADERSHIP, THROUGH THE UNIFICATION OF THE TURKIC STATES, AND WITH THE HELP OF THE TURKISH UNION, INSHA'ALAH. This will have Turkey at its head, and we are already heading toward it. The ideal thing will be for Turkey to act as leader. Every nation state will be separate, but there will be a spiritual union, insha'Allah, like the European Union. Passports and visas will not be required, countries will be able to trade freely with one another, they will exchange goods and be like brothers… The Turkish-Islamic Union will be established and up and running within the next 10-15 years, insha'Allah.

Will heat pump clothes dryers be the next big thing in energy efficiency?
LG Electronics is getting attention in the U.S. with its EcoHybrid Heat Pump Dryer, which was just recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency with its 2014 Energy Star Emerging Technology Award.
Heat pump dryers like LG's capture heat leaving the dryer, remove moisture and then send the warm air back to the appliance to be used again. They're fairly common in Europe and elsewhere in the world, but until now their higher price tag hasn't made them economically feasible here in the States, where energy is cheaper.
The annual Energy Star award is given to innovative technologies that reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions without sacrificing features or functionality.To read more or comment...
I went for a walk in my neighborhood last night after dark, which I love to do. (Not because people have their lights on, making it perfectly legal for me to see in their windows and check out their decorating. No, not that at all. But to my neighbors with the leather chair and bookshelves in the front room: Very nice.)
There must be a rule in the development next to mine requiring post lights, because every house had one. And looking down the street, it was striking to see the difference between the lamps that had warm white bulbs and those that used cool white.
Which led me to think it's time for a primer on light color.
I'm definitely a fan of warm white bulbs, especially for something like a decorative outdoor fixture. The light those bulbs produce is yellower and softer, more like the light from the old-time gas lamps these post lights are trying to imitate.To read more or comment...

Bad news for all of you who are patiently waiting for your tomatoes to ripen: Late blight is back.
The fungal disease can hit this time of year when the weather turns cool and either wet or very humid. And guess what we've had lately? Cool temperatures and wet conditions.
Ohio State University Extension's Erik Draper found the fungus, Phytophtora infestans, on tomatoes in western Trumbull County, he reported in this week's Buckeye Yard & Garden Line e-newsletter. He's concerned that Northeast Ohio is poised for an outbreak.
If you want to save your tomatoes -- or your potatoes, which are also vulnerable -- now's the time to treat them with a fungicide containing chlorothalanil or copper. Chlorothalanil is more effective against late blight, but if you grow organically, copper is your only option.To read more or comment...

Hawaii's Cuisine
Hawaii Regional Cuisine
From dawn until well past dusk, Hawaii offers visitors a dizzying menu of culinary wonders including the islands' own Regional Cuisine which blends the islands' diverse, ethnic flavors with the fruits of Hawaii's farms and plantations. Originally created by an even dozen Hawaii chefs, this is a movement that leverages the freshest island ingredients including locally-raised cattle, fish from local waters, and fruits and vegetables grown in volcanic soil.
Farm to Table
You can actually witness the entire farm to table process in Hawaii by taking walking tours of farms, gardens, ranches, and pasturelands. On an upcountry farm on Maui, you can pick a sweet Maui onion; you can take a taro farm tour on Kauai and sample fresh Waimanalo greens at dozens of Oahu restaurants; on Hawaii, the Big Island, you can take a coffee tour along the upland slopes of Kona; and throughout the islands, you can visit some of America's most lavish farmers' markets. Needless to say, no tour is worth the effort unless you get to sample the food (fortunately, that's the case almost 100% of the time).
Eating Like a Local
In Hawaii, our palates have been influenced by generations of immigrants from around the globe, so it's no surprise that our melting pot is filled with countless ethnic specialties. Local tastes are as varied as you'll find anywhere in the world but there are local delicacies that are more or less exclusive to Hawaii residents. Street food in the islands reaches its zenith in the plate lunch, served on a paper plate and featuring everything from teriyaki beef with two scoop rice to the Japanese hybrid, spam musubi. Locals are also drawn to loco moco breakfasts (white rice topped with a hamburger, fried egg, and brown gravy), exotically-flavored shave ice (finely-shaven ice), and custardy, coconut haupia. One more thing you need to know: the Hawaiian word for 'delicious' is 'ono!'

If you registered in the fall semester, but did not join a fraternity or sorority, you must register again so that your academic eligibility may again be verified.
Why Join?
Fraternities and sororities have been an integral part of Coastal Carolina University and have enhanced the lives of thousands of men and women. In addition to "traditional" fraternities and sororities, Rutgers also offers students the opportunity to join historically African-American, honors based, and multicultural fraternities and sororities.
Most Students entering Rutgers have the following questions:
- Will I fit in?
- Will I make new friends?
- Will I succeed academically?
- Will I be able to get involved?
- Will I find other people who are interested in the same things I am?
These concerns are common. Everyone needs to belong. Sororities and fraternities can help you find your niche at Coastal, offer academic assistance, encourage you to be active in student organizations and community service, open doors for opportunity, assist you in developing social skills and provide you a chance to make friends with similar interests.
Research indicates that involvement in extracurricular activities can increase the probability of graduation, success and personal growth by as much as 60%. Each chapter governs itself with its own elected officers and is supported through either the governing body of the Interfraternity Council (men's fraternities), National Pan-Hellenic Council (traditionally African-American fraternities and sororities),or Panhellenic Council (women's sororities).
To help you succeed academically, fraternities and sororities offer national and local scholarships, Greek honor societies, time-management workshops, tutoring, study sessions, chapter competitions and awards, and incentives.
CCU chapters are concerned about the issues facing today's college students. Individual chapter provide monthly educational programs and members participate in community-wide programs. Each fraternity and sorority chapter is expected to host at least two educational programs per semester. Some of the programs that have been presented are:
- Alcohol Awareness and Responsible Social Hosting
- Legal Issues Seminar
- Sexual Health Educations
- The Power of the Minority Vote
- Fire Prevention
- Stress Management
- Substance Abuse
- Healthy Dieting and Weight Loss
- Domestic Violence
Community Service
The Greek community at CCU has a long tradition of active involvement in local and national charities. Individual chapters organize and conduct both hands on service events and raise funds for organizations like:
- March of Dimes
- Habitat for Humanity
- Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
- Children's Miracle Network
- Relay for Life
Friendship for Life
It isn't a secret that fraternity and sorority member like to have fun. Individual chapters hold annual formals, date parties, mixers, barbecues, hayrides and parties at the student centers. Social events like Parent's Day, Homecoming, Greek Week, Founders Day Celebrations and Senior Brunch all create a well balanced social calendar.

I doubt 5.1 will come in Feb, the current beta doesn't expire till March or so I read
If 5.1 is dropped in march then 5.0.2 will drop in a week or so to plug Pod2g's jailbreak and his 5.0.1 A5 jailbreak as well.
Apple traditionally plugs holes in IOS pretty fast.
They can still announce it just like they announced a newer version of the iOS software last Feb. during the iPad 2 announcement. Announcing the newer version and showcasing it doesn't mean it has to be ready for public download immediately. Regardless, I don't see how 5.1 is even going to be a big deal...........unless they update Siri and bring it out of it's beta release as it currently exists on the 4s?
Hmm, Im waiting for the iPad 3, as I don't upgrade to the iPad 2 and hope the iPad 3 can give me much more surprises, not only 4-core ARM processor and it's better can play AVI or WMA movies smoothly and then I need to do less convertings with iFunia media converter, enjoy any movies on it on-the-go!
From the picture, seems it don't have Home button?

Hickory, N.C. - The Tornados put across two runs in the top of the first inning, but were unable to score the rest of the way in falling to top-seeded Wingate University, 6-2, in the opening round of the 2009 Food Lion SAC Softball Tournament.
Jennifer Gift (7-14) suffered the loss for the Tornados, who fell to 17-26 on the season. Gift allowed six runs on nine hits while striking out two. Brittany Blankenship (16-7) took the win for the Bulldogs (30-12-1), going the distance, scattering five hits while retiring three batters on strikes.
Brevard scored first as leadoff batter Beth Brooker came around to score on Kasey Fagan's base hit up the middle and Kristina Clayton touched home on Katie Brown's sacrifice fly to left field.
Wingate came back in the third with three runs as Broyer came home on Debra Grijalva's sacrifice fly in foul territory down the right field line and Emily Chavis drove in Leyila Myers and Pettigrew with a triple to right center to put the Bulldogs up 3-2.
The Bulldogs doubled the lead with another run in the fifth as Pettigrew scored on Myers grounder to second.
Brevard threatened in the top of the sixth, loading the bases on a pair of singles and a hits-batsman, but Blankenship froze Becca Curlee with a full-count change-up to escape the jam with the lead intact.
Wingate plated two more runs in the bottom half of the inning as Heather Winchester and Broyer came around to score to give the Bulldogs their remaining runs of the contest.
Brevard falls to the elimination bracket to take on Newberry at Hickory High School, also at 1:30 p.m.
Wingate advances to face Catawba on Friday at Bears Field with game time set for 1:30 p.m.

Reading Level: Grades 6 - 9
Before the war life spans have been extended to up to 200 years. In order to ensure that the new extreme elderly could support themselves the government made it illegal for anyone under the age of 19 to hold a job. When the spore bombs were launched by the enemy during the war, only children and the elderly had been vaccinated against this man-made plague. As a result the only people left alive in the United States are the Starters (children under 19) and the Enders (adults over 65). Callie and her brother are among the unlucky children who had no living grandparents and are forced to live illegally on the street trying to avoid being swept up into one of the horrible forced labor camps for unclaimed minors. Then Callie hears about The Body Bank, where Enders pay huge fees to possess a Starter's body for a few hours or more via computer chips implanted in the Starter's brain. Callie thinks this is her way out. She only has to rent her body three times and then the big payoff will come. But can it really be that easy?

Restrictive cardiomyopathyCardiomyopathy - restrictive; Infiltrative cardiomyopathy
Restrictive cardiomyopathy refers to changes in and weakening of the heart muscle, which causes the heart to fill poorly, squeeze poorly, or both.
In restrictive cardiomyopathy, the heart is of normal size or only slightly enlarged. However, it cannot relax normally during the time between heartbeats when the blood returns from the body(diastole).
Later in the disease, the heart may not pump blood strongly. The abnormal heart function can affect the lungs, liver, and other body systems. Restrictive cardiomyopathy may affect either or both ventricles. It is usually associated with a disease of the heart muscle.
Although restrictive cardiomyopathyis a rare condition, the most common causes are amyloidosis and scarring of the heart from an unknown cause (idiopathic myocardial fibrosis). Itcan occur after a heart transplant.
Other causes of restrictive cardiomyopathy include:
- Carcinoid heart disease
- Diseases of the heart lining (endocardium), such as endomyocardial fibrosis and Loeffler's syndrome (rare)
- Iron overload (hemochromatosis)
- Sarcoidosis
- Scarring after radiation or chemotherapy
- Scleroderma
- Tumors of the heart
Symptoms of heart failure are most common. Usually, these symptoms develop slowly over time. However, sometimes symptoms start very suddenly and are severe.
Common symptoms are:
- Cough
- Difficulty breathing
or shortness of breath
- At night
- Especially with activity
- When lying flat
- Fatigue, poor exercise tolerance
- Loss of appetite
- Swelling of the abdomen
- Swelling of the feet and ankles
- Uneven or rapid pulse
Other symptoms may include:
- Chest pain
- Decreased alertness or concentration
- Low urine production
- Need to urinate at night (in adults)
Exams and Tests
An examination may show:
- Enlarged (distended) or bulging neck veins
- Enlarged liver
- Lung crackles and abnormal or distant heart sounds when listening to the chest with a stethoscope
- Fluid backup into the hands and feet
- Signs of heart failure
Tests for restrictive cardiomyopathy include:
- Cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography
- Chest CT scan
- Chest x-ray
- ECG (electrocardiogram)
- Echocardiogram and Doppler study
- MRI of the heart
- Nuclear heart scan (MUGA, RNV)
- Serum iron studies
- Serum or urine protein tests
Restrictive cardiomyopathy may be hard to tell apart from constrictive pericarditis. A biopsy of the heart muscle or cardiac catheterization may help confirm the diagnosis, but is not often done.
When the cause of any cardiomyopathy can be found, that condition is treated.
Few treatments are known to be effective for restrictive cardiomyopathy. The main goal of treatment is to control symptoms and improve quality of life.
The following treatments may be used to control symptoms or prevent problems:
- Blood thinning medications, either aspirin or warfarin
- Chemotherapy (in some situations)
- Diuretics to remove fluid and help improve breathing
- Medications to prevent or controluneven or abnormal heart rhythms
- Steroids forsome causes
A heart transplant may be considered if the heart function is very poor and the patient hassevere symptoms.
Outlook (Prognosis)
People with this condition often develop heart failure that gets worse. Problems with "leaky" heart valves may also occur.
People with restrictive cardiomyopathy may be heart transplant candidates. The outlook depends on the cause of the condition, but it is usually poor. Average survival after diagnosis is 9 years.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of restrictive cardiomyopathy.

South Africa well placed to achieve top 20 tourism destinations status
South Africa has great potential to be among the most competitive countries and to achieve being in the World Economic Forum's top 20 tourism destinations by 2020 - Professor Geoffrey Lipman, International Council of Tourism Partners.
This was the message from Professor Geoffrey Lipman, president of the International Council of Tourism Partners, in his keynote address on the competitiveness of nations at the inaugural South African Travel & Tourism Industry Conference. The conference was recently held in Johannesburg.
Lipman told delegates that South Africa had the natural assets that were increasingly in the mainstream of experiential consumer demand.
'With globally unique products, a committed and collaborating industry, the vision of your national strategy, and your tourism minister's ceaseless advocacy for coherent, linked public and private sector strategies, you have great potential to be among the most competitive countries and to achieve being in the World Economic Forum's (WEF) top 20 tourism destinations by 2020,' he commented.
South Africa is ranked 66th out of 139 in the 2011 WEF Travel & Tourism Competitive Report's Travel & Tourism Competitive Index.
Lipman said future trends could dramatically increase South Africa's competitiveness. 'The more so if you can develop those assets where you can excel along with your SADC neighbours and in some key areas with Africa as a destination in the long-term global marketplace,' he commented.
He said South Africa could take advantage of China's emergence as the top outbound travel market. This could be done by facilitating Chinese tourists' entry and service; educating them about the wonders of African nature, culture and heritage; and promoting, marketing and selling South Africa through social media and multimedia channels.
He said South Africa could also attact Indian, Indonesian and South Asian tourists by opening up its air services agreements and taking advantage of the mega-transit airports in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha.
'South Africa should also lead the charge to open African skies and ensure it has at least 1 globally significant mega-airport that matches those in the Middle East, China and Singapore. Tomorrow's traffic flows with a strong emphasis on south-south trade will demand such airports with rapid transit and warm, welcoming borders,' he added.
He also suggested South Africa fully engage with other African countries. 'As the continent slowly lifts out of poverty, the market potential in Africa will be phenomenal. Africa has 5 out of 10 of the fastest growing economies in the world today,' he said.
Lipman also suggested South Africa capitalise on the move to green growth. 'Take Africa's known strengths in natural resources and environmental sustainability and couple it with your leadership vision in low carbon transformation. Make this sector a champion of that transformation – not only at policy and financial level, but also at community level where the need for tourism's socioeconomic benefits is greatest and its impacts are really felt,' he said.
Lipman concluded by saying that the WEF Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report could be used by South Africa as a tool for the country's future success and 2020 goals. 'It is a good base for competitive improvement and a useful analytical tool that can provide guidance for policy thinking and implementation programmes across the entire travel and tourism structure. It is also valuable material for use with decision makers outside the sector who are co-creators of the operating and enabling framework,' he said.

- "O stars that in the Sunless Year
With shining hand by her were sown,
In Windy fields now bright and clear
We see your silver blossom blown!"
- ― Hymn to Elbereth
Varda Elentári (Q, pron. N [ˈvarda ˌelenˈtaːri], V [ˈβarda ˌelenˈtaːri]), known in Sindarin as Elbereth Gilthoniel (pron. [ˈelbereθ ɡilˈθonjel]), was a Valië, one of the Aratar, the wife of Manwë and Queen of the Valar. Elves love and revere her most of all the Valar, and they call upon her in their hours of deepest darkness.[1] Her handmaiden is Ilmarë, a Chief of the Maiar.[2]
Varda knows all the regions of Eä. She rejoices in light and was said to be too beautiful for words. Within her face radiated the light of Ilúvatar.[1] She appeared in shining white fana in visions to the Elves of Middle-earth, and thus was called Fanuilos (Snow-white).[3]
[edit] History
When Melkor first began to create his discord, Varda saw his mind, and despised him. Melkor feared and hated Varda the most out of the Valar. In the beginning Melkor had been unable to control light, which Varda was most associated with. When Manwë contested with him for Arda, Varda came from the deeps of Eä to his side.[1]
During the Spring of Arda, she filled the Two Lamps with light.[4]
She resided with Manwë in Ilmarin and aids him in the rule of Arda. With her, Manwë sees beyond all eyes, through mist and darkness, and with him, Varda can hear all voices from every corner of the world.[1] In Valinor she kept the dews of the Two Trees in the Wells of Varda. She created the newer stars with the dews from the vats of Telperion, the first of the Two Trees, in preparation for Awakening of the Elves. The set of stars she made was known as the Sickle of the Valar. This was said to be the greatest labour of the Valar since the beginning of time, and when the Elves awoke in Middle-earth they beheld first the stars which Varda had made. For this, Varda is the Vala most loved and revered by the Elves.[5][1]
She also hallowed the Silmarils of Fëanor when he created them, so that any being or creature of evil could never handle them without being burned.[6] After the death of the Two Trees, Varda was tasked once again with filling the world with a new light. Therefore she took the remaining flower of Telperion and the fruit of Laurelin and placed them in vessels made by Aule. Varda bequeathed to them such light and power that they outshone the ancient stars. In doing so, she established the courses of the Sun and Moon.[7] At the end of the First Age, she placed Eärendil as a star in the sky.[8]
In Middle-earth, she was revered by the Elves who called her name and sung hymns to her (such as the Elven Hymn to Elbereth) and perhaps answered to prayers, even to Samwise Gamgee.[9] The very mention of her name was said to be deadly to evil spirits, such as when Frodo uttered the name in the presence of the Morgul Lord.
[edit] Etymology
Varda is a Quenya name,[10] meaning "sublime" or "lofty", from Primitive Quendian baradâ, merged with barathî.[source?] In Telerin, this name is translated as Baradis.
In Sindarin, Varda is called Elbereth, which derives from elen-bereth meaning "star-queen" and represents evolution of Primitive Quendian *elen-barathî (the final -i umlauted the word to berethi) > elemberethi > elbereth.[11]
All of these names come from the Root BARÁD/BARATH.[12]
In Adûnaic, Varda's name is adapted rather than translated, becoming Avradî.
Varda's titles and epithets include The Kindler, Lady of the Stars, Queen of the Stars, and Snow-white. In Quenya these are Elentári "Star-queen", Tintallë "Star-kindler", and Airë Tári the "holy queen"[13], in Sindarin Gilthoniel (Starkindler) and Fanuilos (Ever-white), and in Adûnaic Gimilnitîr "starkindler".
Some older forms of her name are Baráda, Bridhil, Timbridhil and Tinwetári.[source?]
[edit] Genealogy
[edit] Other versions of the legendarium
In Tolkien's early Qenya, Vard- was a root referring to royalty. Related words were vardar "king" and vardo "prince"; they do not appear in the later inception of Quenya.
[edit] Inspiration
The Valar, being divine beings below the ultimate Creator, Ilúvatar, are thought of as being the Middle-earth equivalent of saints and angels; it has therefore been suggested that Varda, in her role as the most loved and prayed-to Vala, may be an equivalent of the Virgin Mary in Tolkien's own Catholic faith. Another suggestion is the goddess of wisdom, Sophia, also associated with the stars.[14]
