Wake Forest Head Coach Jim Grobe "We were a really beat-up football team at the end of the year and I think we're relatively healthy going into this game."
On whether he's sick of playing UConn, having faced the Huskies for three years straight...
"I don't know if we're sick of seeing the Huskies on film as much as we're impressed with how good they are. That's the problem. The good news is we're in a bowl game. The bad news is we've got to play a really good football team."
On how last year's game is affecting preparation...
"Obviously, they've been in place for a long time so there is probably some carryover. It's been a long time since we've looked at these guys and I don't know if there is a lot of recall right now. I do think that as a coaching staff we may have a little better feel for each other but I'm not sure the players have any carryover from last year."
On how much leeway he gives the players over the course of the bowl trip...
"We've been with these guys for a long time. These are our kids and we know them pretty good. That doesn't mean kids won't make mistakes. We do that from time to time. We've got such a good group of kids. We try to treat them no differently here than we would on campus. We don't have curfews for these guys on campus. They can go do whatever they want to after they leave practice. We treat them the same way. We're a little worried being in the middle of the city. You want the kids to be careful and we've talked to them about that. I think our guys are mature enough to concentrate on playing football. I hope that's the case. We haven't had any problems so far. Sometimes the rookies have more problems than the older guys. It's funny, the first couple of nights you don't have a curfew for the guys but you don't see guys out late because they know they have to get up at the crack of dawn to meet. There's a little method to the madness."
On the importance of winning the bowl game versus simply playing in one...
"There's no question. High school coaches that are in playoffs, divisions in college that have playoffs, feel the same way. You get into the playoffs and you feel great about it but if you don't win it all you have a bad taste in your mouth. Bowl games are the same way. Your goal at the start of the season is to play in a bowl game. Then you get to one and everybody's so fired-up and excited about doing it. You have a great trip, do some neat stuff, but if you don't win the football game you go home with a sour taste in your mouth. It's important to play well and win. There's no question."
On if Wake Forest is ready to play tomorrow...
"I think we are. You never really know for bowl games. When you've had a month from playing your last game it makes things a little bit tougher to figure out where you are. There's no science to this. I've been in a lot of bowl games as an assistant coach and three here at Wake Forest and there's no science to putting the plan together. You try to do the best you can. You work around final exams. You have to give them time to study. You have to give them some time off to heal-up. You have to try to work hard enough that you play well but if you work too hard, the kids are miserable and don't play well. From a mental perspective, we're ready to go. We'll find out if we're physically ready when we kick-off."
On preparing for a bowl game versus a regular season game...
"Our problem is that we were playing pretty good at the end of the year. When we played N.C. State, I thought we had a great game. I thought when we went to Vanderbilt we were pretty banged-up but we played really, really good at their place and won. We were kind of on a roll a little bit and you'd like to just keep on playing but at the same time playing in a bowl game has got to be fun. If we could treat the players like we did in August I'd feel a little better. We've had about 14 practices and I think that's enough. I think we're ready to go. I think we want to go play a football game and I think that's important."
Wide Receiver Kenny Moore
On if Alphonso Smith has made him a better receiver...
"We definitely work on each other. When we're in practice, we're going on it. We talk trash to each other, but there's a lot of pride too. One day it's him getting better than me and then the next day it's me getting better than him. But I tell him that I'll win every time. I feel like if I can beat him, I can beat any corner in the NCAA. He's a lockdown corner. He's going to go at you and be physical when he needs to and then play off of you. We've made each other better. We've made each other into who we are today and I definitely thank him for that. He'll tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'll tell him what he's doing wrong. It's been a learning experience for me."
On his confidence level rising this season...
"What was big for me was that I got a new receiving coach, who gave me more confidence. I learned some new ways of running routes and basically got the freedom to do what I need to do to get open. It was something I always had, but when the new coach came in there was a new morale."
On how UConn will defend him...
"They'll probably have somebody on top of me the whole game. I can imagine them having a linebacker to slow me down, especially if I'm in the slot. Then they'll have someone over the top. You never know what they'll come out with. They've had a month to prepare so, you never know."
Quarterback Riley Skinner
On the importance of winning the bowl game
"Our whole team realizes that. We had a memorable time down in Miami but it could have been more memorable if we would have won the game. It still leaves a bitter taste in you mouth. That's what we want to do Saturday; leave here with a win. That will make the bowl week even more special."
Defensive End Jeremy Thompson
On Linebacker Aaron Curry
"He's full of energy. He's always out there live-wired, yelling. He's always around the ball. His energy rubs-off on us. He's the vocal leader of our defense. He's positive. He'll be there to congratulate you if you make a big play and pat you on the helmet. He just incites energy in other people."

Dirty clothes are traditionally worn by grungy rock stars, mystical vagabonds, and royals pretending to be "regular people" for the purpose of understanding life outside castle walls. Today's Groupon serves those who don't fit into one of these common categories. For $10, you get $20 worth of eco-friendly dry-cleaning services from Four Seasons Dry Cleaners on Murray Avenue in Squirrel Hill. Advanced green cleaning methods match superb customer relations, which include convenient pick-up and delivery services alongside standard in-store pick-up.
Four Seasons Dry Cleaners is a member of the International Fabricare Institute, whose cleanly dressed inductees study advancements in the fields of garment care. More than 50 years of laundering experience have crafted an expert staff of meticulous cleaners capable of de-staining everything from casual wares to delicate dressings. Four Seasons' delivery vans make free trips to downtown and surrounding areas twice a week for handy delivery service to the destination of your choice. You do not need to be home to send off or receive a delivery, and your clothes come back to you as fresh as a baby pine tree in your choice of a valet bag or Four Seasons' Go Green re-usable valet bag, which eliminates wasteful plastic for an additional cost. Delivery saves time and gas for the busy clothing-wearer who doesn't have time to frolic around town with bags of filthy frocks.
Bring waves of freshness to a variety of everyday garments. Peanut-butter, jelly, and Goober stains are efficiently apprehended from the surfaces of slacks and sweaters (starting at $5.60 each), dresses (starting at $10.75), raincoats (starting at $16.50), and much more to return sanitary aesthetics to the family's communal armoire.
Seven Yelpers give Four Seasons Dry Cleaners 3.5 stars:
- They treat my clothes with a healthy respect that was clearly lacking at other shops. I own nice clothes and expect to keep them that way, so that is the most important thing to me, and Four Seasons delivers. – Aaron R.
- ...the great awesome thing about Four Seasons is they do pick up and delivery!...It was like magic! I put a bag of my clothes to be dry cleaned on my side porch before I went to bed and a couple days later I had clean clothes dropped off at my house! – Jenney C.
Four Seasons Dry Cleaners
White delivery vans scrawled with purple and teal lettering roll into driveways twice a week, hauling dirty clothes away and returning them clean and fresh. The magic happens at Four Seasons's Squirrel Hill headquarters, where a second-generation owner helms an array of dry and water-based cleaning services. He and his cleaning team inspect each piece to single out stains before subjecting them to a dry-cleaning machine with organic-based fluid and other eco-friendly techniques.

They also tailor ripped seams and sagging hemlines, store furs in a temperature-controlled vault, and preserve wedding gowns with a museum-style, acid-free protection process.

Montreal, November 12th – On November 8th, the Visayas region of the central Philippines was hit by typhoon Haiyan locally known as Yolanda, the strongest typhoon ever, killing more than 10,000 people, displacing over 650,000 people and affecting 11.3 million people according to reported estimates.
CECI's long term partner, CONCERN, is present on the ground in the affected areas and assessing the situation to provide assistance to the victims of this horrific tragedy.
The people are in immediate need of emergency shelter, food, water and sanitation.
In the short term, CECI will be providing support to the most affected and vulnerable populations in Leyte and Northern Cebu with the following:
1. Shelter material including debris cleaning
2. Hygiene and sanitary kits
3. Water purification kits
4. Livelihood recovery
5. Psycho social stress support
The President of the Philippines declared a national state of calamity. Samar, Leyte, Cebu, Iloilo, Capiz, Aklan and Palawan are the worst affected areas.
The typhoon triggered landslides that blocked roads and uprooted trees. The majority of houses have been wiped out, roads are impassable, power and communication lines are mostly out, and many people are in dire need of relief.
Weather officials said the typhoon sustained winds of 235 kph (147 mph) with gusts of 275 kph (170 mph) when it made landfall. This makes it the world's strongest typhoon of all times.
CECI coordinates its efforts with other Canadian NGOs and Government officials through PAGER (Policy Action Group on Emergency Response) and in country through the UN cluster system of coordination, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), and the host government.

Ratings for Dr. Algird Mameniskis
Dr Al gave me the BEST Breast Augmentation results that I have EVER seen! He was ALWAYS looking out for my BEST interest in the whole process. He always took the time to listen to me. When I showed my family/friends my Post Op Day 1 photo, NOBODY could believe that was day one! Everyone commented that they looked better than they had ever seen either! HIGHLY IMPRESSED!!!! Not only was he a great Dr, he listened to everything I dreamed of.
Best Plastic Surgeons in the MIDWEST!!! I had a breast lift with implants done by Dr. Mameniskis and Dr. Roman Voytekhovskiy, and they turned out fantastic! Their bedside manner and kindness is unmatched, they take their time making sure you understand, and the bottom line is, they gave me the results I dreamed of. 5 Stars! I will be back for a Tummy Tuck and Lipo next year, and I will DEFINITELY be recommending them to my friends and family! Make sure you ask for Piera!
HORRIBLE had simple breast augmentation when he was in Philadelphia. This man left me scarred and disfigured for years, almost 10 years. 5 surgeries and I'm now on #6 in Feb. to fix the mess this man made. Had scar removal from a bad suture job and now fixing a scar he left, from an implant that was COMING OUT. He disappeared from Philadelphia and left his patients no contact, empty office. PLEASE beware of this guy. Look him up under Philadelphia search and see for yourself what others have been through. I wish 10 years ago there was more info out there on him.

Butler's working-class hero
Howard fouling less, laughing, delivering more
By Marlen Garcia
NEW ORLEANS � Matt Howard's father, a mail carrier in Connersville, Ind., lately is having trouble completing his route.
"Everybody has been stopping me to ask, 'Did you see that game?' " Stan Howard said by phone Tuesday night.
He and fellow Connersville residents rehash the exploits of the Butler men's basketball team, but especially those of his son, whose late-game heroics lifted the Bulldogs past Old Dominion in the NCAA tournament's second round and top-seeded Pittsburgh in the third.
Butler, an Indianapolis university with a little more than 4,000 students, is in the Sweet 16 a year after reaching the national final as a sentimental favorite and losing to Duke by two. The eighth-seeded Bulldogs will play No. 4 seed Wisconsin today in a Southeast Regional semifinal.
They have advanced behind Howard, a 6-8 senior averaging 16.7 points and 7.7 rebounds. In a wild finish against Pitt, he grabbed a rebound off a missed free throw by the Panthers, drew a foul and sank a winning free throw in a 71-70 victory.
Against ninth-seeded Old Dominion, Howard scored the winning layup at the buzzer in a 60-58 victory.
Years ago, "You'd hear him playing in the driveway, and he's saying, 'There's Howard for the win.' Then it happens," his father said.
On one hand, Howard is an unlikely hero. Last season, Gordon Hayward took the tough last-second shots, but he's in the NBA now, playing for the Utah Jazz. Shelvin Mack seemed a more likely candidate for that role after working out with the college select team that played against NBA players on the national team. Mack is averaging 15.6 points, second to Howard.
In last season's NCAA tournament, Howard could be maddening to watch (friends and strangers told him so) because he often was on the bench saddled with foul trouble.
"Sometimes I wonder if my mind does not think fast enough to say, 'There's the ball, but it's not a good situation to go for it,' " he said early this season. "Can I sacrifice two points to not have a dumb foul?"
He also poked fun at himself with deadpan humor.
"I'm not sure how well those size 18s move sometimes," he said, pointing at his feet. "They don't move that well. I don't know if it's how big the shoes are or if I'm slow.
"If you'd watch me play, you'd wonder how smart I am."
Howard, a two-time academic All-American majoring in finance, was named academic All-American of the year this season by the College Sports Information Directors of America (athletes must have at least a 3.3 grade-point average and be starters or key reserves to qualify for nomination). His favorite TV show is CNBC's documentary series American Greed. "I can't get anyone to watch that with me," he said.
On the court, he has cut back on fouling. "He became more mobile and better laterally," Butler coach Brad Stevens said Wednesday. "He worked on his offensive moves so a lot of his shots aren't around the basket and there isn't as much contact."
Howard no longer has to constantly guard teams' tallest players because Andrew Smith is doing that. "Andrew has been critical, there's no question," Howard said. "He's been the difference this year, and it has helped me a lot."
Smith, a 6-11 sophomore, is one of the most improved players for Butler, averaging 8.9 points and 5.4 rebounds while playing nearly 24 minutes a game, up from about five last season.
"I like to guard a team's better forward, but (the coaches) will move me away to limit my chances of fouling," Howard said. "Maybe I'm just pulling back where there's a chance I could make a (defensive) play, but it's very risky and it's probably going to be a foul. That's something I wouldn't have done in the past."
Now that he's playing longer stretches, his confidence is up for those game-winning shots.
He downplayed the game-winning plays against Old Dominion and Pitt.
"Honestly, if you go back and look at it, there is a little bit to making a smart play, but it's almost that I was at the right place at the right time," he said. "Sure, you have to make the layup or you have to make the free throw, but those are the two easiest shots in the game."
Stevens gives Howard more credit.
"There is some luck involved," the coach said. "The ball finds you sometimes, but there is some irony in that his motor allows him to always find the ball. Against Old Dominion, he was at the top of the key and the ball went up and he went to the glass. He doesn't have to do that. A lot of guys are tired and stand at the top of the key and watch."
Howard is a threat from almost anywhere on the floor. He is shooting 49.2% on field goals and 43.2% on three-pointers, though sometimes he needs prodding from his teammates to shoot.
"He's obviously a skilled big man that can stretch the floor and shoot it, but he's also effective in the post," Wisconsin senior forward Jon Leuer said. "He's physical, and he moves his feet well. He does everything right, everything that you want a big (man) to do."
Added Wisconsin senior forward Keaton Nankivil: "Versatility and tenacity are probably the two things I see in him. He does a lot for them."
Coaches have talked about Howard's drive since high school because he's always on the move. "He's always been trying to make the extra play," said Rodney Klein, who coached Howard at Connersville.
His father jokes that Howard learned to block out while fighting for the bathroom against his four brothers and five sisters. Their ages range from 35 to 16, and Howard, 22, is eighth among the 10. For years, they lived in a small home with one bathroom.
"He's known nothing but teamwork all his life," his father said. "When there's a dozen in the house, you don't always get your way and you're not always the one standing out."
Almost all of the children started working at a young age. Howard was 9 when he started delivering the local daily newspaper. By 16 he saved enough to buy a car, a used Nissan Maxima. He had money left over and opened a certificate of deposit. He paid for his own car insurance; all the children had to because their parents couldn't afford it.
"It doesn't mean you're making a lot," his father said of the paper route. "He saved virtually everything he made in seven years. He's close with his cash."
Howard also is eager to please, according to his father. Howard, who was home-schooled for seventh and eighth grades, was good enough to play on a Christian high school team as an eighth-grader. It didn't count against his eligibility because some Christian schools aren't sanctioned under Indiana regulations.
He played in junior varsity and varsity games. As the best player for the JV, he could have scored at will. "But Matt would kick it out," his father said. "Sometimes he would rebound four or five times for a little guy to make the shot. He's always trying to think of other people."
It's no surprise then that last spring, after the runner-up finish, Howard gave an autograph to a fan who put him in an awkward spot. The team was at a charity function put together by then-senior Avery Jukes. A woman brought a magazine and asked Howard to sign a picture in it. He was taken aback by the photo, which had been taken immediately after the title game.
There he was sprawled at halfcourt with his hands burying his face amid the Duke celebration.
"It's like, 'Are you serious?' " Howard said. " 'You want me to sign this?' Would you do that to somebody? Open up the magazine to something that is not a good memory?"
He found some humor in it. "It was hilarious that a fan brought a picture of us in dismay. There are so many pictures, I would imagine, of us being excited."
Nevertheless, he smiled and signed it.

Regulating Labour in the Wake of Globalisation
Edited by: Cynthia Estlund, Brian Bercusson
In recent decades, the prevailing response to the problem of unacceptable labor market outcomes in both Europe and North America - national regulation of labor standards and labor relations, coupled with collective bargaining - has come under increasing pressure from the economic and technological forces associated with globalization. As those forces have shifted power away from national governments and labor union and toward capital, the appropriate institutional locus of labor regulation has become hotly contested. There have been efforts to move the locus of regulation downward to smaller units of governance, including firms themselves, upward to larger units such as regional federations and international organizations, and outward to non-governmental organizations and civil society. In this volume, labor relations scholars from North America and Europe examine the efficacy of these emerging forms of labor regulation, their democratic legitimacy, the goals and values underlying them, and the appropriate direction of reform.

Polycrystalline blocks of ice have been tested under compressive stresses in the range from 1 to 10 bars at temperatures from -13 degrees C to the melting-point. Under these conditions ice creeps in a manner similar to that shown by metals at high temperatures; there is a transient creep component and also a continuing or quasi-viscous component. The relation between the minimum observed flow rate $\dot{\epsilon}$, the applied stress $\sigma $ and the absolute temperature T is $\dot{\epsilon}$ = B exp (-Q/RT) $\sigma ^{n}$, where R is the gas constant, and B, n and Q are constants; the value of n is about 3$\cdot $2, that of Q is 32 kcal/mole, and that of B is 7 $\times $ 10$^{24}$ if the stress is measured in bars and the strain rate in years$^{-1}$. At the higher stresses a third, accelerating stage of creep was observed; on the basis of the appearance and behaviour of sections cut from the specimens, this acceleration was attributed to recrystallization. The effect of changing the load during a test has also been studied; for large reductions creep recovery was observed. The results of these tests are discussed in connexion with previous work on metals and ice, and also with measurements of glacier flow.

Three months earlier, Aladdin had found himself in Basra, visiting his old friend the Sultan. There he meets the Sultan's bride-to-be, the beautiful Fatima.
But all is not what it seems...
Aladdin comes across an old dying man who rambles about the old fantasy land Cinnabar.
Disaster strikes when the Sultan's bride disappears, leaving him distraught. Aladdin knows he must find a way to get her back, and when the old dying man appears claiming he can do just that, Aladdin is prepared to bargain with him.
However, the price to pay for saving Fatima is a high one.
Aladdin must decide how much he is prepared to sacrifice in order to bring happiness to his old friend, and recover the princess.
But just how far is the wise adventurer prepared to go in order save her?
Cinnabar is a gripping historical fantasy of peace, loyalty, and love. In a tale that takes you deep into the depths of the unknown, Diamond's novel follows one man who must contemplate how to save not just a princess, but a whole world.

The USA's medal-winning streak in alpine racing has come to an end in the men's giant slalom. Switzerland's Carlo Janka has won the event, and Norway's Kjetil Jansrud and A.L. Svindal took silver and bronze.
Ted Ligety of the U.S. stood in 8th place after the morning's first run but slipped to 9th after the second run, compililng a two-run time of 2 minutes, 39.11 seconds, which was 1.28 seconds behind Jansrud. It was the first alpine race in which the U.S. had been shut out of medals, having earned at least one in each of the first six men's and women's events.
The USA's Bode Miller had fallen off-course in the first run of the giant slalom. The two other American racers, Tommy Ford and Jake Zamansky, finished 26th and 31st, respectively.
Janka, who won a bronze in the super combined earlier in Vancouver, had the fastest time in the first GS run and the third-best in the second to put together a combined time of 2:37.83. That was 39-hundredths of a second better than Jansrud's two-run total. Jansrud had the 11th best time in the first and is tops in the second.
Read on for a timeline of the event:
Previously: The second, and final, run of the men's giant slalom is underway. The USA's Ted Ligety is in 8th place after the first run, 6-tenths of a second behind leader Carlo Janka of Switzerland. The top 30 finishers in the first run will start in reverse order in the first 30 spots in the second run, meaning Ligety races 23rd and Janka will be the 30th skier.
Update, 4:51 p.m. ET: Carlo Janka of Switzerland is virtually assured his first gold medal - and second overall - of the Games in the men's giant slalom. With the top 30 racers having raced, he has a comfortable lead with little chance of being upset by the remaining skiers.
Update, 4:48 p.m. ET: Romed Baumann of Austria can't break up the Norwegian hold on the top two spots. Only the morning leader to go among top skiers.
Update, 4:46 p.m. ET: A.L. Svindal of Norway, third after the first run, can't overtake countryman Kjetil Jansrud. The 1-2 skiers from the morning's first run are next.
Update, 4:45 p.m. ET: Coming to the top five leaders after the first run and Kjetil Jansrud remains your leader with Austria's Benjamin Raich second.
Update, 4:37 p.m. ET: Ted Ligety is fourth after his second run. He got a little off-balance near the top and finished with a run in 1:21.24 for a two-run total of 2:39.11. No medal for the U.S. skiers today. Kjetil Jansrud is holding on to the lead with a combined time of 2:38.22.
Updagte, 4:36 p.m. ET: Ligety up next.
Update, 4:31 p.m. ET: Here come the top 10, starting with Ivica Kostelic of Croatia, who finished 10th in the first GS run. Norway's Kjetil Jansrud has lead now.
Update, 4:29 p.m. ET: Germany's Felix Neureuther pops into the lead. He was 13th in the morning run.
Update, 4:25 p.m. ET: New intermediate leader - Phillipp Schoerghofer of Austria - as the top 13 from the first run are on deck.
Update, 4:15 p.m. ET: Switzerland's Didier Cuche, among the top 10 GS racers on the World Cup circuit, has taken the lead for now with a combined time of 2:39.45. First-run leaders yet to come.
Update, 4:06 p.m. ET: USA's Tommy Ford finishes with a combined time of 2:41.15 to hold 4th place after the first five skiers. Erik Guay of Canada holding first for now.
Update, 4:00 p.m. ET: Second run underway. Sweden's Markus Larsson, the first to start, sets the pace with a run of 1 minute, 21.97 seconds for a combined time of 2:41.43
The U.S. hopes of continuing its string of medal-winning performances in alpine skiing rests with Ted Ligety's skis in the second run of the men's Olympic giant slalom. Teammate Bode Miller is out of the competition after skiing off-course in the first run.
Ligety stands in 8th place. His first-run time of 1 minute, 17.87 seconds is 6-tenths of a second behind leader Carlo Janka of Switzerland. Austria's Romed Baumann is second, and Norway's A.L. Svindal, who has a gold and silver here already, is third.
"I know I can make up the time," Ligety was quoted as saying on the Games official website. "I am comfortable where I am." He added that the soft course conditions "favor me."
The second, and final, run begins at 4 p.m. ET.
Ligety, who is ranked No. 1 in the World Cup giant slalom standings, said he made "some small mistakes here and there" on the first run.
However, Miller, who had won three medals already here, started 31st and appeared to struggle and then, in the lower portion of the course, came out of a gate, drifted out, touched a hip to the snow and got behind. At the next gate, with his right arm dragging behind, he failed to complete the turn and fell out of the course.
Reporter Andy Gardiner tweets: "U.S. men's coach on Bode Miller's GS run: 'He was happy with his run and would have liked to be in there, but he was skiing with passion.'"
Two other Americans raced in the first run - Tommy Ford and Jake Zamansky - but are out of the top 20.
Going into the giant slalom, the U.S. had earned medals in each of the six previous men's and women's alpine races held in Vancouver.
Update, 2:08 p.m. ET: Just 10 more racers left in the first run.
The first run of the men's giant slalom is underway, with Bode Miller and the U.S. ski team looking to add to their medal haul. Each skier will have two runs down the Dave Murray GS course at Whistler. Miller, who has won three medals in these Games, and Ted Ligety lead the U.S. contingent, which also includes Jake Zamansky and TommyFord. The first race of the GS features 103 racers. Follow along for updates. Also, you can check out the Twitter feeds of reporters Andy Gardiner and David Leon Moore at the mountain.
Update, 1:19 p.m. ET: Bode Miller, starting 31st, skis off course after briefly losing his balance and touching a hip to the snow while finishing a gate. No medal today after the first-run DNF.
Update, 1:17 p.m. ET: Tommy Ford of the U.S. gets a time of 1:19.10 for 24th place currently.
Update, 1:16 p.m. ET: The USA's Jake Zamansky finishes in 1:19.85, which is 2.58 seconds off the lead. That's 27th place after the first 28 racers.
Update, 1:09 p.m. ET: Janka, Baumann and Blardone continue to hold the top three spots after the first 25 skiers.
Update, 12:54 p.m. ET: A.L. Svindal of Norway, who won gold in the Super-G and silver in the downhill, moves into third place with a time of 1:17.43.
Update, 12:47 p.m. ET: After 10 racers, Switzerland's Carlo Janka leads with a first-run time of 1 minute, 17.27 seconds. Austria's Romed Baumann is second at 1:17.29 and Massimiliano Blardone of Italy is third at 1:17.47. Course appears in good shape; no crashes.
Update, 12:44 p.m. ET: Weather on the mountain is cloudy and cool in the early going, meaning flat light for the skiers, writes USA TODAY's Andy Gardiner.
Update, 12:42 p.m. ET: Ted Ligety, currently ranked No. 1 in the World Cup giant slalom rankings, struggles a bit, finishes first race in 1:17.87. That's 6-tenths of second off Carlo Janka's lead of 1:17.27.
Update, 12:40 p.m. ET: Carlo Janka of Switzerland takes lead; Ted Ligety on course next.
Update, 12:37 p.m. ET: First four racers have skied. Massimiliano Blardone of Italy sets pace with time of 1 minute, 17.47 seconds.

Maserati GranCabrio MC Stradale Leaked: 2012 Paris Motor Show Preview
At the last Paris Motor Show two years ago, Maserati debuted its GranTurismo MC Stradale sporting a 4.7-liter V8 with 450 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. Now two years later at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Italian automaker will unveil its GranCabrio MC Stradale.
But of course photos of the GranCabrio leaked ahead of the debut. The GranCabrio MC Stradale is essentially the convertible variant of the four-seater sports car and will undoubtedly sport the same powerplant. Compared to the GranCabrio MC Sport, it'll be lighter in weight with more power with faster gear shifts and a sportier suspension.
And as we can see from the photos, it sports much more aggressive styling with new front and rear bumpers, hood scoops, rear diffuser, trunk spoiler, and different wheels.
AutoGuide will have more details on the Maserati GranCabrio MC Stradale when it makes its official debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.

The WASH&LOAD project aim is to scientifically characterize latest achievements in science and technology for the development of Guidelines and Pre-normative research aimed at supporting the more than 20,000 SMEs involved in the functional clothing value chain in implementing cost-effective practices for reloading protective functionalities in protective clothing and medical textiles during life cycle, going beyond scattered attempts so far. Addressing this challenge goes beyond the capability of a single SME and requires a collective R&D effort lead by SME groupings and associations at European and national level.
The new WASH&LOAD laundry system is based on a monitoring system controls the concentration of chemicals in the bath during the re-functionalization process ensuring that the correct level of functionalization is proved while avoiding waste; the re-functionalized garment is checked again after the process to assess the functionality level and validate the process. These elements provide the combination of a new product/process/service system, drastically extending the business model of the laundry business.
The WASH&LOAD concept of a validated re-functionalization of textiles is based on the point that functionalization is always kept at the optimal level, by adding just right amount of functional agents; in this way the effectiveness is preserved through the whole life cycle without using excessive quantities of chemicals, hence better breathability of the garment and a reduction of waste.

Description: An unprecedented land grab is taking place around the world. Fearing future food shortages or eager to profit from them, the world's wealthiest and most acquisitive countries, corporations, and individuals have been buying and leasing vast tracts of land around the world. The scale is astounding: parcels the size of small countries are being gobbled up across the plains of Africa, the paddy fields of Southeast Asia, the jungles of South America, and the prairies of Eastern Europe. Veteran science writer Fred Pearce spent a year circling the globe to find out who was doing the buying, whose land was being taken over, and what the effect of these massive land deals seems to be. The Land Grabbersis a first-of-its-kind exposé that reveals the scale and the human costs of the land grab, one of the most profound ethical, environmental, and economic issues facing the globalized world in the twenty-first century. The corporations, speculators, and governments scooping up land cheap in the developing world claim that industrial-scale farming will help local economies. But Pearce's research reveals a far more troubling reality. While some mega-farms are ethically run, all too often poor farmers and cattle herders are evicted from ancestral lands or cut off from water sources. The good jobs promised by foreign capitalists and home governments alike fail to materialize. Hungry nations are being forced to export their food to the wealthy, and corporate potentates run fiefdoms oblivious to the country beyond their fences. Pearce's story is populated with larger-than-life characters, from financier George Soros and industry tycoon Richard Branson, to Gulf state sheikhs, Russian oligarchs, British barons, and Burmese generals. We discover why Goldman Sachs is buying up the Chinese poultry industry, what Lord Rothschild and a legendary 1970s asset-stripper are doing in the backwoods of Brazil, and what plans a Saudi oil billionaire has for Ethiopia. Along the way, Pearce introduces us to the people who actually live on, and live off of, the supposedly "empty" land that is being grabbed, from Cambodian peasants, victimized first by the Khmer Rouge and now by crony capitalism, to African pastoralists confined to ever-smaller tracts. Over the next few decades, land grabbing may matter more, to more of the planet's people, than even climate change. It will affect who eats and who does not, who gets richer and who gets poorer, and whether agrarian societies can exist outside corporate control. It is the new battle over who owns the planet.From the Hardcover edition.

It's not every day that a team can pitch as masterfully as the Detroit Tigers did and yet lose in such convincing fashion. Yet that's what happened in Game 3 of the ALDS as the Oakland A's pitched that much better, holding the Tigers down on 4 hits for a 2-0 win, which has drawn the A's to within a game in the series.
Anibal Sanchez, Octavio Dotel, Phil Coke, and Rick Porcello combined to allow just 2 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks but they were upstaged by Oakland's eager pitching staff.
Brett Anderson, making just his 7th start of the season, and his first since September 20th, dominated the Tigers over 6 strong innings before giving way to the A's lockdown bullpen. Sean Doolittle, Ryan Cook, and Grant Balfour didn't give an inch, and the Tigers fell quietly.
That eerie feeling Tigers fans got last night was all too familiar. So often this year the Tigers have gone out on the road after a good home stand only to watch the offense do next to nothing, despite ample pitching.
And on to Game 4 we go with a scheduled first pitch of 9:37 eastern. Detroit fans will finally get to see Max Scherzer in this series, who is fully healthy by all accounts. He will oppose yet another A's rookie, this time AJ Griffin. Detroit has a decided advantage in this matchup.
Griffin saw the Tigers just once this year in the series at Comerica Park back in September and got roughed up big time. He was tattooed for 5 runs on 8 hits (including 3 homers) and a walk in just 4.2 innings of work. I suspect he'll be better this time around in his home ballpark.
Oddly enough, Griffin's opponent that day was Scherzer. Max was in the midst of a dominant stretch of pitching at the time but lasted just 2 innings that day as his deltoid issue popped up, causing great concern throughout the organization. Well, he's better now. And he owns the A's.
Since joining the Tigers, Scherzer has started 6 times against Oakland. He is 3-1 in those starts with an ERA in the mid 3's. The fun part is to check out the eye-popping 48 strikeouts he has against them in just 27.1 innings logged. Oakland has been striking out with proficiency in this series and tonight's game should be no different against one of the game's elite strikeout artists.
The Tigers' starting pitching has been off the charts so far in this series. The offense has been feeble. Detroit has managed just 8 runs against a very formidable A's staff. One need not look any further than Austin Jackson for proof as to why the team is struggling.
Jackson is just 2-12 in the series, which as the broadcasting crews continue to relentlessly point out, means that Miguel Cabrera has often come to the batter's box with the bases empty. For the Tigers to bust loose offensively, Jackson must contribute. This has always been the case for the Tigers and it's no different now.
My prediction coming into this series was that the Tigers would drop the upstart A's in 4. Tonight is their chance to do just that. If Scherzer is sharp with his command and keeps the A's in the ballpark, things should go well for the Tigers. If Josh Reddick, Brandon Moss, and company start to leave the yard with long fly balls then look out.
Jim Leyland will go back to his regular lineup against righty pitching:
- Jackson – CF
- Berry – LF
- Cabrera – 3B
- Fielder – 1B
- Young – DH
- Dirks – RF
- Peralta – SS
- Avila – C
- Infante – 2B
Don't expect many changes for the A's with the exception of possibly catcher George Kottaras stepping in for Derek Norris in the 8th slot of Bob Melvin's lineup. Tune in for the 4th Chapter in what is quickly becoming a great playoff series.

Today, Former Presidential Candidate and Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee announced that he was launching a poll on his website to help him determine which candidate to endorse in Florida's 16th Congressional District.
You can vote for Gayle Harrell in Governor Huckabee's Poll by Clicking Here.
You may be visiting our website for the first time as a result of Governor Huckabee's poll.
As one of Governor Huckabee's early supporters in the Presidential race and Gayle Harrell's campaign manager, I wanted to share with you some of the reasons I think that Gayle Harrell would be an ideal candidate for Huck PAC to support. (Gayle has already received support from Newt Gingrich, Tommy Thompson, and Tom Tancredo)
Please give Gayle your strongest consideration and please vote for her in the HuckPac poll by clicking here.
What differentiates Gayle Harrell is that she is the only candidate in the race with a proven record of supporting our conservative values and she is the strongest candidate to defeat Tim Mahoney in November.
Gayle Harrell is Pro-Life
For eight years in the Florida House of Representatives, Gayle fought for common sense pro-life policies - policies such as parental notification and parental consent and most recently, the ultrasound bill. Gayle voted to save the life of Terri Schiavo and support the ethical and more promising adult stem cell research instead of unproven research that destroys human embryos. In fact, the Christian Coalition Scorecard shows that Gayle earned a 100% rating on Pro-life votes.
Gayle believes that the unborn child has an inalienable right to life that cannot be infringed. She believes that Roe V. Wade should be overturned and, as a result of judicial activism, we need a human life amendment to the constitution.
Planned Parenthood is spending thousands of dollars to defeat Gayle because she is the only candidate with a proven Pro-life record and the strongest candidate to take on their friend Tim Mahoney in November. (Vote Here)
Gayle Harrell Will Cosponsor the Fair Tax
Gayle Harrell believes that we need a complete overhaul of the federal tax code. She has pledged to cosponsor the fair tax proposal when elected and will vote for flat tax proposals because either system would be better than the system that we have now.
In Tallahassee, Gayle voted to cut taxes by over $28 billion and she never voted for a tax increase. She will vote to make the Republican tax cuts permanent. (Vote Here)
Gayle Harrell has been a Leader in the Fight to Secure the Borders
In the state house Harrell wrote the Florida Safe Borders Act that would have allowed local law enforcement to cooperate with Federal Immigration authorities and co-sponsored legislation that would have required state contractors to use E-verify. She also led the fight against allowing illegal aliens to get health care benefits.
Gayle was recently endorsed by Team America PAC, founded by Congressman Tom Tancredo. She is also supported by the head of the Florida Minutemen, the Vice President of Floridians for Immigration Enforcement, and the CEO of Bridges Across America. (Vote Here)
Gayle Harrell is Endorsed by the National Rifle Association
Gayle Harrell is the only Republican candidate for Congress with a proven record of defending our second amendment liberties. Gayle earned an A+ from the NRA in the State legislature, where she cosponsored castle doctrine and other NRA endorsed legislation. She is also endorsed by the Unified Sportsmen of Florida and received a 100% from the Gun Owners of America. (Vote Here)
Gayle Harrell is a Military Wife and Mother
While her husband James was serving in Vietnam, Gayle arrived early for class one day after having stopped at the post office to pick up her mail. She had just received a letter from James and sat down to open it. He wrote to her everyday and since soldiers in the field couldn't carry stamps with them, all mail arrived from Viet Nam with "free" written across the top right hand corner of the envelope where a stamp would usually be. The letter included several pictures, including one of James standing in a tunnel discovered within the perimeter of his base camp at Cu Chi.
Another graduate student happened to see the envelope and the photographs that were lying on the desk while she read the letter. He asked if she knew someone in Viet Nam and Gayle answered that her husband, James, was stationed there. He asked her why her husband had not gone to Canada and she replied "Because he was doing his duty." The student turned away in disgust and said, "Well then, I hope he doesn't come home." (Vote Here)
Gayle Harrell Supports a Comprehensive Energy Policy
Pro Production: Increase production through increased exploration and investment in finding new oil fields. There are an estimated 75 billion barrels of oil in areas of the U.S., including offshore reserves and oil shale fields, where drilling is prohibited. Open new oil fields in areas where resources have already been identified; as Anwar, western North and South Dakota and eastern Montana and off the coast of Florida. Change federal law to give all states with offshore oil and gas, including Florida, the same share of federal royalties Wyoming gets for land-based resources (48%). Use closed military facilities as location for construction of oil refineries.
Pro Incentive: Use national tax policy and incentives to unleash the creative genius of America to find new solutions to the energy problem. Promote innovation in developing new technologies to promote conservation, the use of coal, (our most abundant energy source), and alternative energy sources such as wind, solar and bio-fuel. Make the solar power and wind power tax credits permanent to create a large scale industry dedicated to domestically produced renewable fuel. Use technology and innovation to develop new methods of energy conservation. Develop a tax credit for refitting existing coal plants. Use tax policy to promote the development of cars and trucks that get over a 100 miles to the gallon.
Pro Nuclear: Gayle has lived less than 10 miles from the St. Lucie Nuclear power plant for almost 30 years. We must invest in 21st century nuclear technology, just as France has done. Since 48 % of our national energy being consumed is used in homes and other buildings, we can reduce our need for foreign fuel significantly through the use of nuclear power. (Vote Here)
Gayle Harrell Supports a Federal Marriage Amendment to the Constitution
Gayle strongly believes that we must define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. She has endorsed and campaigned for the Florida Marriage Amendment (Amendment 2) which will be on the ballot this fall in FL and will advocate for a similar amendment at the federal level. (Vote Here)
Gayle Harrell's Passion is Health Care and She Can Address the 77 Million Baby Boomers About To Enter our Medicare System
Gayle has served as Chair of three healthcare committees and has been a leader in health policy during the past seven years in the Florida House of Representatives.
Gayle served as one of the key architects of Medicaid Reform in Florida.
She believes that we must create an intelligent 21st century system healthcare system by putting the patient in control of his/her healthcare. The system must focus on wellness, early detection and prevention. Financial incentives and appropriate information about cost, quality and choices must be provided to patients to empower them to make smart decisions. Electronic health records and 21st century health information technology are the key to reducing costs and improving outcomes.
Gayle has been the legislator of the year for the American Cancer Society, the Florida Medical Association, and the Florida Society of Dermatology, along with many other health advocacy groups. (Vote Here)
Gayle Harrell Understands the Threat We Face From Radical Islam
Gayle served on the Florida House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety and had served on the Domestic Security Committee for the four years prior.
Gayle believes the number one responsibility of government is to protect its citizens, both at home and abroad. She understands the threat our country faces from Radical Islam, and is focused on winning the war on terror, not on creating artificial timelines for the United States and their allies to surrender to the terrorist. America is engaged in a war that we did not start, but for the security of our country, it is a war we must now win.
Gayle Harrell Knows that Republicans Need to Talk About Domestic Issues Like Education
Gayle believes that our kids are our future and deserve the very best educational opportunities. She has taught in our public schools and has worked tirelessly to improve our public education system.
As a Member of the Florida House of Representatives, Gayle has worked with Governor Jeb Bush to hold our schools accountable, promote school choice and adequately fund our educational system.
Gayle believes that providing excellent educational opportunities to all students is the responsibility of each individual State. If the federal government is involved in education, it should do so through block grants with funding going directly to the State with "No Strings Attached". (Vote Here)
Gayle Harrell is the Strongest Candidate to Face Tim Mahoney
Gayle Harrell has truly been the Grassroots candidate in this race for Congress. She has raised the most money from the district and more money from small donors than both of her opponents combined.
Gayle was the only candidate to successfully qualify for the ballot by signature petition. Both of her Republican opponents tried to collect signatures, but were forced to pay an expensive filing fee.
Several party leaders have said that Gayle Harrell is the only Republican candidate that can win in November.
What They're Saying About The Race
"Gayle Harrell is more than just a leader for Florida. Her innovative work making health care more affordable for everyone makes her a model legislator."
-Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich
"Representative Harrell will be a strong leader for our district. She has the experience and leadership to go to Washington and make a difference, and her commitments to fiscal responsibility, keeping our country safe and providing families with more healthcare options will benefit Florida and the United States. Gayle is the only candidate with the message and experience needed to beat Tim Mahoney next fall."
- Senate President Ken Pruitt
"No one will out campaign her, no one will work harder, her trademark red tennis shoes are back on and she will leave no issue unanswered and no voter not contacted. I believe strongly that Gayle Harrell is the only Republican in the race who can win."
-Carole Jean Jordan, Former Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida
"Florida District 16 represents one of the best opportunities nationally for Republicans to reclaim a seat in Congress and one of the most critical races for our party this cycle Gayle has an eight-year record in Tallahassee that every Republican would love to run on: cutting taxes by over 28 billion, stopping welfare benefits for illegal aliens, crafting legislation to make our seaports secure, and defending the unborn."
-Tom Slade, Former Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida
"We thank you for your courageous stand concerning your commitment to the right of the unborn."
-Adam Goldman, Vice President of Florida Right to Life*
"Gayle Harrell has always been a strong supporter of the second amendment and has always believed it is an individual right as laid out by our founding fathers."
-Marion Hammer, Former President of the National Rifle Association
"Gayle is a breath of fresh air. She is a down to earth person and very trustful. She listens to the voters and sees and knows what the people of Florida have been dealing with as gas prices are rising and our borders are out of control. She also knows what needs to be done to help us all get our trust back in Government."
- Bill Landes, Florida Minutemen Director*
"State Rep. Gayle Harrell, R-Port St. Lucie, assured herself a spot on the ballot for Congress - and gained grass-roots bragging rights in her competitive primary Harrell appears to be the only local congressional candidate to get on the ballot via the signature method Rooney's campaign acknowledged falling short, while Harrell's group said the signatures showed a strong political ground operation."
-Palm Beach Post

Real Name
First Appearance
Pep Comics #16 (1941)
Original Publisher
Created by
Abner Sundell and Harry Lucey
Golden Age Origin
Madam Satan was originally a mortal woman named Tyra. When she found out that her fiance's parents didn't approve of her impending marriage, she murdered them in cold blood. As they were dying, they managed to tell their son who had done the deed.
Naturally, the fiance wasn't too terribly happy to hear that, and he wound up killing Tyra. The murderess went to hell, where she became a loyal servant to Satan himself. Her job was to seduce men into losing their souls.
Madam Satan was very straight-forward with her plans at first, but after two issues, she tried subterfuge, which worked pretty well until Brother Sunbeam showed up. This enigmatic figure was able to thwart her at every turn. Brother Sunbeam tried to capture her into a bottle, but never could.
Her powers included hypnotic power over men and the ability to kill with a kiss.
Historical Notes
Madame Satan had the dubious distinction of having her feature canceled to make room for a teen humor strip that starred a certain Archie Andrews (MLJ/Archie Comics fame). Because she was a fairly dark character, she was one of the few Golden Age characters Archie Comics tried its best not to acknowledge (the other being Mr. Satan), until 2014, when she returned in the comic series The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina after Archie Comics began to experiment with darker series after the success of the 2014 zombie story Afterlife With Archie.

Description: One of our most renowned and brilliant historians takes a fresh look at the revolutionary intellectual movement that laid the foundation for the modern world. Liberty and equality. Human rights. Freedom of thought and expression. Belief in reason and progress. The value of scientific inquiry. These are just some of the ideas that were conceived and developed during the Enlightenment, and which changed forever the intellectual landscape of the Western world. Spanning hundreds of years of history, Anthony Pagden traces the origins of this seminal movement, showing how Enlightenment concepts directly influenced modern culture, making possible a secular, tolerant, and, above all, cosmopolitan world. Everyone can agree on its impact. But in the end, just what was Enlightenment? A cohesive philosophical project? A discrete time period in the life of the mind when the superstitions of the past were overthrown and reason and equality came to the fore? Or an open-ended intellectual process, a way of looking at the world and the human condition, that continued long after the eighteenth century ended? To address these questions, Pagden introduces us to some of the unforgettable characters who defined the Enlightenment, including David Hume, the Scottish skeptic who advanced the idea of a universal "science of man"; François-Marie Arouet, better known to the world as Voltaire, the acerbic novelist and social critic who challenged the authority of the Catholic Church; and Immanuel Kant, the reclusive German philosopher for whom the triumph of a cosmopolitan world represented the final stage in mankind's evolution. Comprehensive in his analysis of this heterogeneous group of scholars and their lasting impact on the world, Pagden argues that Enlightenment ideas go beyond the "empire of reason" to involve the full recognition of the emotional ties that bind all human beings together. The "human science" developed by these eminent thinkers led to a universalizing vision of humanity, a bid to dissolve the barriers past generations had attempted to erect between the different cultures of the world. A clear and compelling explanation of the philosophical underpinnings of the modern world,The Enlightenmentis a scintillating portrait of a period, a critical moment in history, and a revolution in thought that continues to this day.

1970 Jaguar E-Type XKE1970 Jaguar XKE Series 2 OTS (Convertible)
Opportunity of a lifetime to procure this excellent driving Jaguar XKE S2 OTS from a caring private owner/mechanical engineer.I have owned this car since 1999.The car was purchased from BRITE Voice Company in Orlando FL. The car was sourced by the CEO and Jag enthusiast for use in an advertisement campaign to prove Brite's Voice recognition software could even work in a convertible.It was stored for many years inside a Class-A office building conference room prior to my acquisition.The car had virtually no rust except small rocker panel spots aft of the front wheel (Fixed - see pic). This was fixed immediately in 1999 and the car as never seen an accident and is always garaged.
This is a car to drive whilst maintaining show car potential.I searched for many years to find this car.It is a clean S2 with the right options (a/c, s, onvertible, ardi steering wheel, ritish racing green (original willow green) and tan (biscuit) interior!!)The series II has the upgraded cooling system with dual electric fans and bigger calipers over the series 1.While not as pure as the Series I cars, eries II cars are more user-friendly with options on this car like power steering and A/C (Blows very COLD with upgraded compressor but original compressor in a box).
Here is most of what has been accomplished to the car over my ownership:
Engine rebuilt by the very competent Erwin Schwartz ( http://www.schwarzltd.com/ )
30 over, pecial pistons, ard setted values (can use unleaded)
New Clutch~ 5,000 miles on rebuilt motor/clutch
New fuel lines, as tank and filters
Rebuilt carbs
Reworked brakes
Engine bay painted in industrial grade PPG paint (resists even hydraulic fluid)
New radiator
Fan shroud repainted in correct crinkle black
Rust in lower panels cut out and welded replacement metal (see picture)
THIS IS IMPORTANT - Correct Pirelli tires.
New ignition, oses, eat shield, mall stuff, tc.
The car's paint and interior is decent.There is some paint cracking on bonnet nose (no rust or putty). A chip and nick here and there.There is a small tear in the top.The emergency brake is weak. Nothing to serious. This is a great driving car and the ultimate classic. There were only 7,852 S2 LHD OTS (Convertibles) built between1968-1971.Not sure how many are left out there but I can testify this machine is reliable and a pleasure to drive.It is automotive art and the ultimate sports car classic.
I am a serious seller please don't waste anyone's time.The car is located in my Garage in St Louis, o (Ladue).Please feel free to inspect car and/or ask questions.This car will be sold to the highest bidder over the reasonable reserve price.I require a $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end.Buyer is responsible for pick up. Certified funds only.On Feb-05-16 at 18:20:01 PST, eller added the following information:
**** 2/15 - My apologies, ailed to mention the car does not have radio installed as you an see in the interior picture. I try to be has honest about the car. It is a great car!
****2/15 - More pictures coming. Engine bay is nice, tc.
