Osho,One day - it was a Friday when orthodox Jews are busy preparing for the Sabbath - a man who didn't like Jews met an orthodox rabbi on the street. In an attempt to torment him, he asked him to express the entire philosophy of Judaism while he stood on one foot. The rabbi stood on one foot and said, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. That is the law. The rest is commentary."If I were to be met by a tormentor and asked to stand on one foot and explain in one sentence what you have been teaching, would I be anywhere near correct in saying that your teaching is freedom from suppression?
You would be absolutely right, but only negatively. To be freed from suppressions is the negative part, and to express the hidden, the potential - that which you are meant to be - is the positive part. But you are right, because the negative comes first. Unless you are free from suppression, you will not be able to express yourself; you will not be able to achieve your potential.
Society exists at the cost of the individual. It has existed like that up to now. The individual must not be allowed total freedom to express himself. And by this suppression, society creates an image in you which can be exploited.
For example, if the individual becomes totally expressive, you cannot create wars in the world. It is impossible. Suppress the individual, and the suppressed energy that is there can be used for violence, for war, for anything. Once an individual is totally expressive, war becomes impossible. The whole politics and the whole history of man depends on war. The old society has been based on war, and war is possible only if the individual is not allowed to express himself.
This suppressed energy has been used for many reasons, for many causes, for many purposes: for war, for politics, for exploitation. So I am against suppression. I am for natural growth.
I am not against discipline, I am against suppression. Discipline is a very creative thing. Discipline is never against something, it is always for something. For example, I am for the discipline of sexual energies but not for the suppression. These energies must be given a creative turn. But they should not be suppressed. If they are suppressed, then they become perverted. Any suppressed energy becomes perverted and you become less than natural.
Expression means you must become more than natural. But if you cannot become more than natural, then it is better to be natural than to be perverted. The whole culture that has existed all over the world is a perverted culture. That's why it only sometimes happens that a Buddha or a Jesus is born. Otherwise, Buddha and Jesus would be a normal phenomenon, not so exceptional, because when the whole society is perverted, a Buddha becomes something exceptional.
A Buddha is just a flowering of the planet. If the whole society were creative, then not to be a Buddha would be a case worth considering, and to be a Buddha would be just a natural, normal thing.
So you are right, you are right. Freedom from suppression and freedom for expression - these two make the whole. Then religion becomes a creative psychology. Then it is not a dogma, not a creed, but a creative instrument.
Of course it is always difficult to put things into one sentence. It is always difficult. But you are right.

Etro Fall 2014
The backdrop of the Etro show featured a computer-generated montage of the iconic paisley patterns for which the house is famed, morphing and blending in ever-changing permutations of color. It was an appropriate context for Veronica Etro's strong show that went back to her family's textile roots and used so many of those scrolling boteh shapes as print, weave, and embellishment in a collection that translated ethnic clothing and textiles from around the world into timeless pieces for the modern fashion nomad. There were djellabas from the silk road, with elaborate thread embroidery on silken, textured wool, and fur-lined, enveloping Uzbek coats. There were Romanian blouses, of the type that Matisse loved to depict, translated into glamorous evening tops in black georgette with the embroidery motifs picked out in beadwork, and there were Mongolian lamb gilets from the Russian steppes. There were the finely pleated skirts of a trans-Siberian dancer (and their quilted boleros), and the ponchos beloved of the Indians of the Peruvian Andes. Those capelike throws provided a canvas to explore the patchwork theme of the season, as did the knits with appliqué paisley motifs meandering organically over them.
Yves Saint Laurent's '70s archive is the inspirational gift that keeps on giving, with his own savant ethnic appropriations and understanding of true contemporary elegance, and Etro certainly seemed to delve deep into it for ideas that included gypsy-like dresses in dark chiffon flecked or figured with golden motifs; a cabled sweater in dull golden embroidery, a wolfish-looking fox-fur chubby, and high-heeled suede boots with a tracery of gold piping. The palette, however, of moody spice and earthen colors, evoked the classic paisley shawls that Veronica's father and Etro founder, Gerolamo, collected as his inspiration, shawls that Napoleonic ladies used to veil their revealing dresses, and Victorians to drape over their crinolines as spoils of empire.

Kick boxing/Muat Thai is overrated for MMA. Effective kicks aren't easy to land and can be risky, as you give up you base. Low kicks are easier to land, but less effective. They are a weapon of attirition, to slow your opponent down over time.
I have considered western boxing much more effective for MMA for a long time and stil do. Although I encourage fighters to learn how to kick properly, a) so it's in their arsenal and b) because the motion of a good thai dtae gives superb flexibility to the hips which aides ground work and boxing
*to add, I have 8+ years experience of pure Muay Thai, a red kurang ruang and an instructors grade, so I speak from an educated position*

Will.i.am files lawsuit against Pharrell Williams
Listen to will.i.am on iHeartRadio | Listen to Pharrell Williams on iHeartRadio
Pharrell Williams is the target of a lawsuit by rapper Will.i.am. According to court documents obtained by RollingStone.com, Will.i.am is suing Pharrell over the name of his creative brand "i am OTHER."
The Black Eyed Peas rapper claims he owns the copyright to the phrase "I AM." He also says the "i am OTHER" logo that appears on clothing and other merchandise bears a resemblance to his own "I AM" logo. Will.i.am contends that Pharrell's brand "is likely to dilute the I AM mark and the WILL.I.AM mark."
In a statement to "Rolling Stone," Pharrell says that as a fellow artist, he's disappointed that Will would file a lawsuit against him. Pharrell says he tried to talk things out with will.i.am and that he's surprised by how the situation is being handled. He also calls Will's claims meritless and ridiculous.

Mick Jagger's HBO rock drama adds cast member
Listen to The Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio
The cast continues to grow for the rock and roll drama Mick Jagger is developing with Martin Scorsese for HBO.
"The Hollywood Reporter" says actress Juno Temple has signed on for the untitled project, which takes viewers into the less-than-wholesome music scene in New York in the 1970s.
The story is told from the perspective of a record label owner, played by Bobby Cannavale, who's hit with a personal bombshell as he's trying to revive his business. Temple will portray his assistant, who has an agenda of her own, while actress Olivia Wilde has the role of his wife.
Jagger came up with the original concept, which he's been trying to get off the ground for the past several years. He initially wanted to develop the idea into a film, and approached Disney and Paramount with no success.
Jagger is also working on the HBO pilot with "Boardwalk Empire" screenwriter and producer Terence Winter and "Breaking Bad" producer George Mastras, who'll write the script and serve as executive producers. Production is expected to begin this summer.

(Yahoo!) - About the man who allegedly slugged Brad Pitt in Hollywood: He's also targeted Will Smith, America Ferrera, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Adele. Is there anything celebs can do to stop him? Could he face anything worse legally than misdemeanor?
This pseudo-funny-person is named Vitalii Sediuk. He's called his creepy physical attacks "pranks,"which might make sense if they, you know, made a point.
But let's take comfort in the small things. Yes, both Hollywood and law enforcement are onto this narcissistic excuse for a member of the social commentariat. Yahoo has confirmed that Pitt has filed a temporary restraining order against Sediuk, who is already in custody, having been booked on suspicion of misdemeanor battery, with bail set at $20,000.
The fallout likely won't end there. Let's remember that Sediuk is still on probation stemming from his trespass at the 2013 Grammys.
Meantime, Sediuk's publicist (?!) has dumped him ("After the Pitt incident I … was as shocked as anyone," Christa Scherck told The Insider With Yahoo) and his attorney has issued a statement proclaiming Sediuk's innocence. I wish him good luck with all that.
"If he is on probation, that probation could be violated and a judge could sentence him to a maximum incarceration of six months," defense attorney Andrew Flier, who is not representing Sediuk, tells me. "This person does seem to be a little out of control."
Additionally, the judge assigned to the new battery case could take note of Sediuk's probation status and raise his bail. If found guilty of the misdemeanor, Sediuk could face yet another six months behind bars. Also, Flier points out, U.S. immigration official tend to frown on foreigners with multiple convictions. Sediuk is Ukrainian. With any luck, this may be the last trip he ever takes to the States.
But even if prosecutors drop the whole incident, don't expect Sediuk to be forgotten, at least, not among celebrity bodyguards.
"Vitalii already is pretty notorious in our circle," says Elijah Shaw of Icon Services Corp., who protects big names domestically and overseas. "Each time he gets bolder and bolder. Security professionals have a list, a kind of a do-not-admit list, with names and photos of individuals like him. I guarantee you he's already on that list."
In fact, such a list was likely in circulation among organizers of the Pitt event, Shaw suspects. It wasn't enough, obviously — Sediuk allegedly jumped a barrier to get to the actor — but don't be shocked if celebrity bodyguards are rectifying that little problem as you read this.
"Awareness is being increased that much more," Shaw tells me, "In the future, if security staffs are forward-thinking, they're increasing the height of their barriers."

To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.
+John Henry Cardinal Newman
There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.
+Fulton J. Sheen
If it grows, it is alive.
If it has human parents, it is human.
Human life, like yours and mine, has value, doesn't it?
Catholic teachings are historical, rational, scriptural, and stable. How could Christ's Church have anything different?
And it came to pass, that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together, and spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? or, Who is he that hath given thee this authority?
And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me: The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe him? But if we say, Of men, the whole people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell thee by what authority I do these things.

"Champions from within your workforce who promote mental health are the best way to change attitudes and cultures in an organisation. What we're trying to do is get firefighters to look after themselves, and their mates."
"As a result of our initiatives, staff turnover has stabilised and we have a very consistent counselling team, so we're able to meet our customer needs effectively and efficiently. That's very important for us in terms of customer retention."
"What we've observed [as a result of our peer support initiative] is a significant reduction in sick leave and lost time injuries. Given these were predominantly around stress-related injuries, that's a really big tick for this program."
"People are very positive about the change we're trying to implement. We're investing in these initiatives because we genuinely care, and we want to be the employer of choice."
"If employees have an issue or a problem, they don't feel they have to keep it to themselves. They can just come and talk to us at any time. Our people are a lot happier and more committed to the organisation."
"People are feeling far more valued and supported. We've noticed an increased ability and prevalence of staff being able to speak up, reduced sick days, increased productivity, and certainly less turnover."
"We're much more cognisant of taking into account the stresses that people are under. Our leadership team go out of their way to make sure we provide the support that people need to get themselves well."
"We learn and understand what the employees are capable of and we try and develop a program that'll enable them to settle in to the workplace, to build upon their hours, to meet their individual goals."
"People don't take so much time off work anymore. People are not getting to the stage where they're broken and they can't continue, they're managing their mental health upfront."
"Brodie's Law forced us to think more about the impact of workplace bullying and the effect that it can have on employees. There was a human factor that needed to be considered, as well as a financial impact where the company could be fined for allowing workplace bullying to occur."

Capobiancos claim they have not even seen baby Veronica
From the Associated Press:
Matt and Melanie Capobianco traveled to Oklahoma from South Carolina hoping to see 3-year-old Veronica. The girl has been at the center of an adoption dispute involving the couple and her biological father, Dusten Brown, who is a member of the Cherokee Nation.
South Carolina authorities have charged Brown with custodial interference in the case.
Fallin said the couple has a right to meet with Veronica and a right to seek a compromise with Brown.
The governor says if Brown is unwilling to cooperate, she can send him to South Carolina to face the charge.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball team (20-28, 7-12 SSC) used a two-hit, two-RBI performance from Tiffinee Harvey to upend the Florida Tech Panthers (21-25, 8-14 SSC) 3-1, Saturday afternoon from University Field in Sunshine State Conference play.
Aside from Harvey's feat, the Lions also posted solid afternoon's from a cast of others including, Dianne Gonzalez as she went 1-for-3 with an RBI. Elysha Agen also went 1-for-3 and scored one run, while both Brittany Yates and Sarah Boyd collected singles.
The Panthers took to the scoreboard early in the series-opener, as Sarah Oram poked an RBI double to leftfield scoring Danielle Healey from first base. It was the only run Ashton Whidden surrendered.
Saint Leo began to mount its offensive comeback in the bottom of the first, as the squad collected a pair of runs on four hits to regain the lead. Agen started with a leadoff single through the right side and was eventually platted on a screaming single off the bat of Harvey. Back-to-Back base knocks by Yates and Boyd loaded the bases. The next batter, Danielle Moreda, brought home the eventual game-winning RBI on a fielder's choice. Unfortunately, the Lions could not scrape across anymore and moved into the next inning with a one-run lead.
With score stuck at 2-1, Harvey came to the plate once again and roped her 20th double of the season into the leftfield corner allowing Alex Garris to score from second. The double put her one shy of tying her own Saint Leo single-season record of 21 two-baggers.
The hit also extended the score to its eventual final, 3-1, as Whidden escaped a jam in the sixth and closed the Panthers down in order in the final frame.
Whidden (14-13) was spectacular for much of the afternoon for SLU. After allowing the first inning run to Florida Tech, she held the Panthers to minimal opportunities, putting down 20 of the next 23 batters. She scattered three hits and struck out three in her 19th complete game of the season,.
The Lions close out the home portion of their schedule Sunday afternoon in doubleheader action against the Panthers. First pitch is set for 1:00 p.m. It also marks senior day at University Field and to commemorate the day, both Tiffinee Harvey and Tiffany Munz will be honored in between games.

Five years ago, Tara Teich went to a Boston mall with some friends, where they passed a store that sold video and computer games. Tara searched the window display, and there, right in the middle of a stack of games, she saw it—Star Trek: Armada II, the first real computer game Tara ever worked on.
"I was never as excited as that moment," remembers Tara. "It was a fantastic feeling. My friends thought it was just so cool. My parents didn't really get the game, but they loved seeing my name in the credits."
A Kid with a Computer
Tara can't remember a time when she didn't want to be a computer engineer. "When I was just a little kid, my dad was really into computers and he'd put me on his lap and talk to me about what he was doing. It was a great connection to have with my dad."
At 11, Tara started programming, and, true to form, her first program was a game. "It wasn't much," Tara admits today. "It was just text and there wasn't really any goal to the game. It was just 'explore Tara's three rooms,' where the player basically went from one room to another."
Dream Job at LucasArts
Today, Tara's programs are much more complex. And she works in one of the most exciting companies in the game (and movie) industry, LucasArts, founded by Star Wars filmmaker George Lucas. The game Tara's working on now is called Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. "It's the next big Star Wars story," Tara says. "It's a completely original story in which the game player is Darth Vader's secret apprentice and his or her job is to hunt down Jedi."
It takes many people to design a game like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. According to Tara, "The best thing about my job is working with such incredibly talented and creative people. The people who develop the games, and the artists who draw the characters, are really amazing."
Creating New Worlds and Characters . . .
But it's Tara's job to bring those characters to life—to make sure they behave like human beings . . . or at least like living creatures. "My specialty is game play and artificial intelligence," says Tara, which basically means that Tara and her team are the brains behind the characters in the game. "We're creating worlds," Tara explains. "We're making characters; we're making behaviors that we've never seen before."
. . . and Running Into Them at the Mall!
Despite the variety of her work, one feature of Tara's job will always remain the same. When her new game gets shipped out, Tara will still be just as excited as she was when she saw her first game in a Boston mall. "It's still a thrill when I walk into a store and see my game. And, if it's not on the top shelf, I'll usually move it up, because that's my game and I want everyone to see it."

Famed architectural photo house Esto, founded by Ezra Stoller, will display a sampling of its works at the new BSA Space gallery in Boston. Esto Editions features the works of photographers Francis Dzikowski, Jeff Goldberg, Anton Grassl, Peter Mauss, David Sundberg, and Albert Vecerka as part of Esto's first release of limited-edition, fine-art-quality digital prints of select works from its extensive collection, printed on 16x20 Hahnemuhle paper.
Boston-based firm Höweler + Yoon Architecture won a 2010 competition to design the new BSA headquarters at Atlantic Wharf, with the caveat that the ground floor had to remain publicly accessible. As part of their design, the architects inserted a bright green stairway into the 6,000-square-foot gallery space to beckon the public inside and serve as an inviting connection from the ground floor to the offices above. In addition to rotating shows within the space, the BSA Space serves as a starting point for architectural tours on both land and sea. Esto Editions runs through December 14 • bsaspace.org

New land programs in Athens, Barcelona, Monte Carlo and Lima allow guests to enhance their pre-and post-cruise vacation with a variety of excursions, from exploring the Temple of Apollo in Greece to climbing Machu Picchu in Peru.
2012-13 Voyages to Explore Catalogue
The newest Voyages to Explore edition has been enhanced with stunning photography including new images of the recently refurbished Seven Seas Navigator and featured menu items from Sette Mari at La Veranda.
"The images definitely help tell the Regent Seven Seas Cruises luxury story," said Kari Tarnowski, the line's senior vice president of marketing. "In addition, our travel partners will find valuable information such as concise voyage details, value-added cruise amenities and new pre- and post-cruise experiences."
Also included in the brochure is "The Best Value in Luxury Cruising" double-sided insert that Tarnowski cited as a particularly valuable tool for travel agents. It compares Regent Seven Seas' all-inclusive pricing for a September Mediterranean sailing, as an example, with two premium cruise lines, clearly demonstrating Regent Seven Sea's all-inclusive value proposition.

Pediatric myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle in an infant or young child.
Myocarditis is rare in young children. It is slightly more common in older children and adults. It tends to be more severe in newborns and young infants than in children over age 2.
In children it is usually caused by viruses that reach the heart, such as the influenza (flu) virus, Coxsackie virus, parovirus, and adenovirus. However, it may also be caused by bacterial infections, including Lyme disease.
Other causes of pediatric myocarditis include:
The heart may be directly damaged by the virus or the bacteria that infect it. The body's own response to an infection can also damage the heart muscle (called the myocardium).
When you have an infection, your body's immune system produces special cells to fight off disease. If the infection affects your myocardium, the disease-fighting cells enter the heart.
While trying to get rid of the infection, the immune cells may also damage the heart muscle, causing it to become inflamed and swollen. This leads to symptoms of heart failure. In addition, the virus or bacteria may damage the heart muscle.
Symptoms may be mild at first and hard to detect. However, in newborns and infants, symptoms may sometimes appear suddenly. They may include symptoms of heart failure:
Symptoms in children over age 2 may also include:
Pediatric myocarditis can be hard to diagnose because the signs and symptoms often mimic those of other heart and lung diseases, or a bad case of the flu.
The doctor may hear a rapid heartbeat or abnormal heart sounds while listening to the child's chest with a stethoscope. A physical examination may detect fluid in the lungs and swelling in the legs in older children.
There may be signs of infection, including fever and rashes.
A chest x-ray can show enlargement (swelling) of the heart. If the health care provider suspects myocarditis based on the exam and chest x-ray, an electrocardiogram may also be done to help make the diagnosis.
Further tests may include:
There is no cure for myocarditis. The heart muscle inflammation usually goes away on its own in time.
The goal of treatment is to support heart function until the inflammation goes away. Many children with this condition are admitted to a hospital. Because activity can strain the heart, it is often limited while the heart is inflamed.
Treatment may include:
How the child recovers from myocarditis depends on the cause and his or her overall health. With appropriate treatment, most children recover completely. However, some may have permanent heart disease.
Newborns have the highest risk for serious disease and complications (including death) due to myocarditis. In rare cases, damage to the heart muscle is so severe that a heart transplant is needed.
Make an appointment with your child's pediatrician if signs or symptoms of this condition occur.
There is no known prevention. However, prompt testing and treatment may reduce the disease risk.

1. Antec Kuhler H2O 920
Price: £71
Active water cooler
When you first set eyes on the Antec Kuhler H20 920, you might think it's in the same category as Thermaltake's entry-level Water 2.0 Performance water cooler. After all, it's basically a 120mm effort with a radiator between two fans.
Look a little closer, however, and you'll notice that the Kuhler H20 920 sports a much thicker radiator. Just under 5cm thick, actually. It's also packed with a high density of cooling fins, so what we're looking at is an effort to squeeze big water-cooling performance into a more compact, practical package.
Read the full Antec Kuhler H2O 920 review
2. Corsair Hydro H100
Price: £82
Active water cooler
With a full-length 240mm radiator and what appears to be a very similar spec to the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme for two-thirds the cash, you might think it's easy pickings for the Corsair Hydro H100. In fact, the H100 goes one step further, with a digital fan control button on top of the cooling block that allows you to quickly jump between its Quiet, Performance and Balanced modes.
What's more, the H100 is fully compatible with Corsair Link Digital, which boils downs to a bunch of hardware and software components that give you control over a whole load of performance and cooling parameters.
Read the full Corsair Hydro H100 review
3. Deepcool Ice Matrix 400
Price: £30
Active air cooler
How much does fancy packaging matter? Ultimately, it can't be that critical, otherwise the Deepcool Ice Matrix 400 would have this thing completely wrapped up. Whether it's the neat little boxes or the lovely, dense white foam padding, there's evidence everywhere that somebody at Deepcool headquarters really cares.
Fortunately the attention to detail spills over into stuff that actually matters. Like the rubberised chassis for the 120mm fan, which is designed to keep vibrations, and therefore noise, to a minimum. It's an innovation that's worthy of a bona fide patent. How do you like them apples, other cooling companies?
Read the full Deepcool Ice Matrix 400 review
4. Gelid GX-7
Price: £36
Active air cooler
When we're talking coolers with aluminium fin stacks and 120mm fans, standing out from the crowd isn't easy, but Gelid reckons its GX-7 can jump up and down and scream enough blue murder to get your attention. Or at least offer something a little different.
For starters, instead of laying out the heat pipes in a row across the cooling block, Gelid uses a partially stacked arrangement. The idea is to have as many pipes as possible running through the hottest part of the block.
Read the full Gelid GX7 review
5. Nofan CR-95C
Price: £70
Passive air cooler
There's a joker in every pack, and the mantle this month falls to the comically oversized Nofan CR-95C. But is it an ultimately doomed effort à la Heath Ledger, or does this passive cooler have the longevity to slip into the Jack Nicholson category and just keep on trucking?
Strained comic-book villain analogies aside, the Nofan is certainly a little bit special. First there are the gargantuan proportions. This CR-95C model isn't the biggest beast in the Nofan jungle, but at 180mm in diameter it's still an outrageous bit of kit.
Read the full Nofan CR-95C review
6. Scythe Mugen 3 Revision
Price: £43
Active air cooler
Maintaining the low noise levels and temps, while upping the compatibility ante. That's the plan for the third version (revision B, don't you know) of Scythe's Mugen 120mm cooler. That means refined airflow and Scythe's Slipstream noise-optimised 120mm fan.
The result is a cooler with a rated noise that kicks off below 27.4dBA, even if the maximum noise breaches the 30dBA barrier. Other upsides include some of the nicest assembly instructions we've seen, with a proper annotated key to all the parts. Joy!
Read the full Scythe Mugen 3 review
7. Scythe Katana 4
Price: £27
Active air cooler
Fans 120mm and larger dominate the enthusiast and overclocking market. What hope, then, for the plucky little Scythe Katana 4 and its 92mm fan? Scythe is an experienced outfit and this is the fourth version of the compact Katana, so if it doesn't deliver, it's probably time for the towel-tossing to begin.
As before, the latest Katana is smaller than your average high performance cooler in just about all directions, measuring nearly 100mm square and 143mm in height. The upshot of this is that you're unlikely to find a remotely mainstream ATX motherboard or case that won't jive with the Katana 4. It's not going to tussle for space with your RAM or argue with your graphics card.
Read the full Scythe Katana 4 review
8. ThermoLab Trinity
Price: £38
Active air cooler
The ThermoLab Trinity looks like a pretty conventional cooler at fi rst glance. A big fan, a large stack of aluminium cooling fins and some copper heat pipes. Same old.
But this is no knock-off job. Your suspicions should have been aroused by the odd 130mm spec of the cooling fan, where most of the competition goes with 120mm. That should allow the Trinity to either shift more air for a given noise level or shift just as much with a bit less rattle and hum.
It's also a little unusual in that the fan is an integrated part of the cooling stack. It's not a clip-on item. Both of these facts have advantages, but the downside is you can't just whack on another standard 120mm spinner if you fancy pepping up the cooling performance.
Read the full ThermoLab Trinity review
9. Tt Water 2.0 Performer
Price: £62
Active water cooler
The Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer is half the size and half the price, but is it also half the man compared to its Water 2.0 Extreme sibling? In hardware terms, the most obvious loss of masculinity is the half-length radiator. That said, it's still sandwiched between a pair of 120mm fans, instead of having two across one side.
The rest of the cooling hardware, however, is a dead ringer. It's the same cooling block and water pump. In other words, you're not only getting quite a bit more than half the hardware for half the money, the result is also more compact and therefore easier to slip into a wider range of chassis. That, however, is not quite the whole story.
Read the full Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer review
10. Zalman CNPS14X
Price: £60
Active air cooler
This is a serious bit of kit. Let's start with some of the highlights. Six copper heat pipes draw thermals from a polished copper cooling block and feed to two massive aluminium fin stacks. Nestled in between is a 140mm fan that draws air through one stack of fins and squirts it out via the other.
As you'd expect from a big fan, the quoted noise specs are very impressive and top out at just 21dBA. Zalman's idea with the CNPS14X, then, is good thermals combined with excellent noise levels. If you want to tip the balance in the direction of thermals and performance, you have the option of strapping on one or two extra 140mm fans, giving mighty cooling potential,but our benchmarks show the CNPS14X with just the integrated 140mm blower.
Read the full Zalman CNPS14X review
11. Enermax ETS-T40
Price: £36
Active air cooler
Here at PC Format, we want the lowest CPU temps available to humanity. We want them here, and we want them now. This is the short version of our CPU cooling manifesto. The slightly longer version, as it applies to air coolers, goes something like this…
Obviously an air cooler needs to do what it says on the tin, namely keep your CPU cool. That includes everything from thumb-twiddling idle mode at stock clocks to balls-out benchmarking with the clocks set to full reheat. And it's not just about achieving low temps in extremis. We want those temps fast.
In particular, we want to see load temperature drop like a stone the moment the CPU goes into idle mode. We also want all that without any fuss, so noise levels low enough that they're pretty much inaudible once installed in an enclosed PC case.
Read the full Enermax ETS-T40 review
12. Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme
Price: £126
Active water cooler
Liquids and finely honed electronics. You'd be mental to mix 'em. Your correspondent recently proved this beyond all doubt by entirely submerging his iPhone in a puddle. But have no fear. The latest fully closed loop water coolers are kosher. There's none of the slightly scary shonkiness of yesteryear's home-build kits. And there's a lot less faff when it comes to initial setup too.
Less faff, that is, but not quite no faff. Thermaltake's Water 2.0 Extreme, for instance, is a bit of a chore when it comes to the sorting socket clamp and board bracket assemblies. But once you've nailed that job, it's plain sailing in terms of installation, and thereafter it's a doddle to whip the cooling block off and swap out the CPU or replace the whole shebang with another cooler, if need be.

USC makes president's community service honor roll
The University of South Carolina was again named to the annual President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. This year the Columbia campus was among 114 universities and colleges to have earned the added recognition of "with distinction," which denotes a higher level of accomplishment in community service and service learning. USC was the only university or college in South Carolina to earn this level of recognition. More on the honor roll is available online at http://www.nationalservice.gov/honorroll/
Each year thousands of USC students join faculty and staff to use their skills to benefit the greater community. During the 2009 – 2010 year, a reported 23, 436 students, faculty and staff participated in volunteer service, donating 346,678 service hours to the community, with an estimated economic impact of $5,636,984. When reported philanthropic donations from the Carolina campus community to the community of $1,405,010 were added, USC's total service impact amounted to more than $7 million.

Prior to the Milarri pond works, regular eel feeding sessions were very popular with museum visitors, giving our staff the opportunity to highlight the importance of eels as a traditional food source for local Aboriginal people. In western Victoria, kooyang (eel) were trapped using woven nets in sophisticated aquaculture systems by the Gunditjmara people for thousands of years – one of the featured installations of the upcoming First Peoples exhibition at Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre at Melbourne Museum.

We collected the new eels west of Melbourne under permit, and we also caught other fish such as Tupong (Pseudaphritis urvilli), Flathead Gudgeon (Philypnodon grandiceps) and Common Jollytails (Galaxias maculatus) boost stocks in the Forest Gallery creek and pond system. These are just a few of the 50 or so species of freshwater fish found in Victorian waters.

Freshwater invertebrates, particularly Glass Shrimp (Paratya australis) were also collected to kick start the food chain in Milarri pond. Yabbies (Cherax destructor) will soon walk across land from nearby ponds, and many other invertebrate species will fly in or colonise via new plantings or by adhering to waterbirds. Pacific Black Ducks (Anas superciliosa), Little Pied Cormorants (Microcarbo melanoleucos) and other birds will soon arrive under their own power.

At the end of the collection trip, animal keepers Chloe and Dave released the eels into their new home, where they will live under the care of Live Exhibit staff for many years.

Fish destined for the Forest Gallery must be quarantined for three weeks in tanks set up behind the scenes to ensure no parasites or pathogens are introduced to our resident fish population.

A range of fish species as well as Macquarie Turtles (Emydura macquarii) can be seen daily in the Forest Gallery at Melbourne Museum. Silver Perch (Bidyanus bidyanus) and eel feeding presentations will recommence at Milarri pond in September when the water starts to warm and the eels' appetites return.
Milarri Garden and Milarri Walk are open every day of the year except Christmas Day and Good Friday.

WATCH: Jennifer Lopez teases announcement with mysterious video
Listen to Jennifer Lopez on iHeartRadio
Fans are scratching their heads over a new teaser video posted on YouTube by Jennifer Lopez.
The 13-second clip starts with the superstar dressed in black leather crouched over as a explosion goes off behind her. The action sequence quickly shoots to footage of J. Lo crawling her way through an air vent and jumping through a gap.
The only clue is the video's title, "#GetJenniferThere," and the star writes in the description that "something big is coming soon."
More hints are leaking with the help from "TMZ." The gossip site caught Lopez filming the video in Los Angeles last week. Sources tell them it's part of a top-secret national commercial that will premiere during this weekend's American Music Awards.

Bellator Fighting Championships' season-two lightweight tournament semifinal bouts will both be contested at Bellator 17, which takes place May 6 at the Citi Performing Arts Center's Wang Theatre in Boston.
Both fights will take place on the evening's main card, which also features a 160-pound non-title fight between lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez and UFC veteran Josh Neer.
Pat Curran, Roger Huerta, Toby Imada and Carey Vanier, who all advanced into the semifinals with recent quarterfinal victories, will be matched up at a Tuesday press conference in Boston.
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney recently told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that the organization seeds its brackets similarly to the way professional team sports arrange their respective playoffs – in hopes that the best two fighters in the tournament will eventually meet in the finals
"The impetus of what we've done is to try to set it up with a No. 1 through No. 8 bracket," Rebney said. "When we make the announcement on Tuesday as far as who's fighting who, you'll see it. Rest assured, it will follow that process.
"It will follow the same reasoning that we went into it with originally, which is that you're basically seeding guys, and until you get to the final, the optimum situation is that the best fight the best in the final."
Rebney said having the two semifinal contests on the same card as the season-one champion competes made sense for the organization.
"We're going to do both of the lightweight semifinals in Boston because, of course, Eddie is fighting Josh and it gives great continuity for what's going to happen with Eddie," Rebney said.
Alvarez will defend his title in season three against the season-two tournament winner.
So how does Bellator rank its four remaining fighters? That remains to be seen.
Huerta (21-3-1 MMA, 1-0 BFC), a recent UFC import who earned a third-round submission win over Chad Hinton at Bellator 13 on April 8, would seem a lock as the No. 1 seed.
Imada (24-13 MMA, 3-1 BFC), a season-one tournament finalist who submitted James Krause at Bellator 14 on April 15, could potentially fill the No. 2 slot. While his 13 career losses stand out, his 3-1 mark in Bellator, coupled with his 2009 "Submission of the Year" win over Jorge Masvidal, would seem to bode well for Imada's chances at the No. 2 seed.
The final two slots will be filled by Vanier (8-2 MMA, 1-0 BFC), who earned a third-round stoppage of Joe Duarte at Bellator 13, and Curran (10-3 MMA, 1-0 BFC), who won by devastating knockout at Bellator 14.

California's political watchdog agency is proposing a $6,500 fine against an independent expenditure committee for illegally spending nearly $29,000 to support a state Assembly candidate three years ago.
It is believed to be the first case in which authorities were able to show direct ties between a campaign and group that is supposed to be independent.
The independent expenditure group, Voters for a New California, paid for three mailers in support of Luis Alejo, a Watsonville Democrat, one month before the June 2010 primary. Such groups can spend unlimited amounts but are not allowed to coordinate with campaigns, which face limits on donations.
But the Fair Political Practices Commission said Alejo's paid campaign manager, Joaquin Ross, helped run the group, so the $28,892 payment was really an illegal contribution to Alejo's ultimately successful campaign. The assemblyman said he did not know Ross was involved with the group.
"I certainly had no knowledge of the actions taken by any independent expenditure committee, and I always have and I'll continue to exercise independent judgment," Alejo said in an interview Tuesday.
The board of the FPPC will consider the fine, which was negotiated with Ross, during its April 25 meeting.
Watchdog groups have suspected such coordination between independent expenditure groups and campaigns but have previously been unable to show such direct links. Voters for a New California would have been restricted to giving Alejo's campaign $3,900.
A 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling erased years of campaign finance law and has allowed billions of dollars of unlimited campaign spending across the country by groups that operate outside official campaign parameters.
The FPPC said after buying the coordinated mailers, the group and Ross filed a false campaign statement concealing the contribution by erroneously reporting it as an independent expenditure.
When asked whether he should have known Ross was in charge of both groups, Alejo said it was his first campaign for Assembly. He said Ross is hard working and "very good at what he does." Ross is the son of veteran Democratic political consultant Richie Ross.
"This is a case where there appears to have been a mistake made on his part, and I think there will be a just conclusion to address the complaint that was filed with the FPPC," Alejo said.
A telephone listing for Ross rang unanswered Tuesday and was not accepting messages.
Associated Press writer Judy Lin contributed to this report.

PFF: 2011 Cornerback numbers
Lastly, we're going to give you two tables that show what a quarterback's rating looks like when they throw at a certain cornerback. Again, you have Revis at the top, with Gamble and Taylor making appearances in the Top 5, but I also get to mention Asante Samuel and the highly impressive Lardarius Webb for the first time. Here are the lowest (and best) 10 ratings:
Rank Name Team NFL Rating
1 Darrelle Revis NYJ 45.6
2 Asante Samuel PHI 52.4
3 Chris Gamble CAR 53.3

10 Brent Grimes ATL 62.9
Webby has just been awesome this year.
Re: PFF: 2011 Cornerback numbers
Now that he is fully healthy, he has picked up where he left off his rookie season! I just hope he can stay healthy, and continue to be a top corner for us!
Re: PFF: 2011 Cornerback numbers
Ummmm No Johnathan Joseph? Hmmmm, what a surprise......... NO not really. I mean one guy didn't give up a TD all season, really? 0 Touchdowns all season!
How Webbie didn't make the pro bowl is beyond me.
On another note, these are very telling stats as well.

If Cary has even average ball skills to go along with his size and speed, he would be a Corner to be reckoned with. The way it is now, teams throw at him because they know its either gonna be incomplete or caught. He always seems to be a step behind, and when he gets his hands on the ball, he never makes the play. As much as i get on Cary for not making plays, i have to give him props for where he's come from. He just has to make plays on the ball so teams will stop throwing at him so much. This off season, ball skills, have to be his major focus point, to improve his game.
I really hope we resign Cary, i really think it wont be that difficult to resign him, I honestly don't think he has done enough to earn a better contract from another team, i don't know maybe he has. Hopefully we retain him. I think a better Cary, with a full year of starting under his belt, plus Mr Fantastic himself Webbie, Plus a much improved, 2nd year Smith, with a full NFL offseason under his belt. We could have a nice trio of corners on our hands.Lardarius "The predator" Webb

Re: PFF: 2011 Cornerback numbers
Cary does a good job breaking on the receiver and hitting him right as he's making the catch and jarring the ball loose.
What Cary doesnt' do a good job on is anticipating the double move and pump fake.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
