A White House official working to contain Iran's nuclear program has been sacked for running a Twitter account that revealed insider administration information and mocked his colleagues, the Daily Beast reported.
The newsite reported that Jofi Joseph, "a director in the non-proliferation section of the National Security Staff at the White House, had been surreptitiously tweeting under the moniker @natsecwonk, a Twitter feed famous inside Washington policy circles since it began in February, 2011 until it was shut down last week."
The site said two administration officials confirmed Joseph, who has also worked at the State Department and on Capitol Hill for Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Joe Biden, was the "mystery Tweeter who has been tormenting the foreign policy community with insulting comments and revealing internal Obama administration information."
Joseph apologized in an email to Politico, saying it "has been a privilege to serve in this Administration and I deeply regret violating the trust and confidence placed in me."
Politico reported that White House and State Department officials had tried to uncover @natsecwonk for months, "a hunt that intensified after he repeatedly expressed doubts about the official administration accounts about the Sept. 11 2012 attack in Benghazi."
Politico noted his "torrent of personal attacks," included mocking female political figures, including Liz Cheney and Ann Romney, "targeting their physical appearance and weight, and he posted a half-dozen tweets questioning the sexual orientation of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)"

Films from Along the Silk Roads
Between the Middle East and the western Chinese border lies a vast stretch of the continent that has barely registered on the western cultural radar. This is the world where Genghis Khan ruled, and through which the great trade route called the Silk Road ran. The five former Soviet Asian republics are known to some as "the stans" - Turkmenistan, Tadjikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, linked by geographical proximity yet each possessed of its own unique culture. And its own distinctive national cinema.
Chances are you've never heard of most of the films in this series, the first comprehensive retrospective of movies from this cinematically rich corner of the world. You may wonder why. The reason is nothing more or less than an accident of history. When the Soviet Union collapsed, so did the apparatus for the promotion and distribution of films from Central Asia. Every time the films have surfaced, it's been the result of a titanic effort on the part of a few valiant scholars, programmers, and festival organizers. But the films are worth the effort. These countries are as culturally rich as they are cash poor, and the films, from throughout the region, are hand-crafted wonders, rich in artistic and poetic miracles.
As a special feature of this series, we are paying tribute to the late Kyrgyz director Tolomush Okeev, one of the greatest "open-air" filmmakers who ever worked in the medium. We will also be showing WITHOUT FEAR and MAN FOLLOWS BIRDS, two extraordinary films by the Uzbek master Ali Khamraev, not to be missed. We are also featuring a special presentation of TAKHIR AND ZUKHRA, an enchanting 1944 Uzbek film that will leave you breathless.

The UC Irvine School of Social Ecology strives to develop future leaders equipped with solid communication, critical thinking, analytical, technological, and interpersonal skills through experiential field study opportunities. These opportunities prepare students to tackle the pressing issues confronting business and community leaders locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. Since 1970, Field Study has been a requirement for students seeking a baccalaureate degree from Social Ecology and is an element of the school's commitment to training future leaders.
Field Study is designed to provide students with the opportunity to
- examine social problems
- evaluate the merit of ideas presented in the classroom
- learn and practice methods of naturalistic field research, data collection, theory testing, or program evaluation, and social intervention
- develop interpersonal and professional skills and technical competencies
- participate in the ongoing activities of an organization
Through field study, upper-division students and faculty engage with our community to study issues, build capacity and impact social change. Community partners gain valuable insight and fresh perspectives through engaging with the students they place in their organization, while building organizational capacity at the same time. They impact the students' learning by sharing their organization's mission, history and objectives. Many field study students continue to volunteer with the organization after their field study is completed.
To fulfill the field study requirement, students complete 100 hours of required field work with an approved community partner while concurrently engaged in a small group seminar facilitated by tenure track faculty. Optionally, students may complete up to 600 hours to fulfill elective credits. The co-curricular approach is based on evidence that learning is maximized when it is active, when students are engaged, and when theories and research are informed by their application to "real world" problems. Having students reflect on how to apply what they learn in the classroom to addressing societal challenges, facilitates personal and professional growth, and deepens understanding of linkages between theory and practice, producing more informed and engaged business and civic leaders.
Annually, more than 40 faculty offer the field study course to more than 900 students. Students complete the seminar and field work through placements at one of 225+ approved community partners (42% non-profit, 41% public sector, 17% private sector). In order to ensure a quality experience for our students, community partners and faculty, the School has established a field study advisory board. Students, community partners, alumni, faculty and school administration are represented on the board and provide valuable insight, ideas and advice from their perspective.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Kayle Guide
Summoner Spells :
Exhaust - Great in combination with Reckoning. Use Divine Blessing to catch up with them, hit 'em with Reckoning, then catch up with Exhaust, toggle Righteous Fury and slaughter them.
Ignite - Great early game skill to ensure you get the kill. Nothings more aggravating than having someone escape with a sliver oh health.
Flash - Also a viable choice to help quickly get in range for Reckoning
Ghost - Same as flash
Heal - Lolno.
Teleport - Great for saving turrets and getting into teamfights. Use this if noone else on your team has it, because it's my opinion that every team needs one.
Holy Fervor (Passive) - This passive is what makes you so good at being a hybrid. Really a great all around passive
Reckoning - This is your main skill. Slows them, does great damage, and makes you do increased damage to them? Awesome.
Divine Blessing - Great heal, and boosts movement speed. Good for healing, chasing, and escaping. Also scales greatly with AP.
Righteous Fury - Great skill, but I leave it at level 1 for a while, because when you put a skill point into it, it doesn't really improve it too dramatically. Toggle this when hitting turrets and in teamfights.
Intervention - This skill used to be a LOT better, but it's still good. Use this on initiators or anyone trying to run and it could very well save their ***.
Game plan:
Early game - Start out with a Dorans Ring and 1x HP Potion. Head to either top or bottom lane, preferably with someone with a stun or any kind of disable. Focus on getting the last hit on minions for Gold. Stay in the lane as long as possible and rack up as much gold as you can. After level 6, your safe to recall and restock. Rush a Guinsoo's
Rageblade buying the Blasting Wand rather than the Pickaxe.
Midgame - Start to hover around the map helping whoever needs it, providing heals, invulnerability and pretty good damage. With your Rageblade, your Righteous Fury should make you hit like a truck. At this point, get Mercury Treads if there are a lot of disables, or Boots of Swiftness if there aren't. Your Rageblade also makes you great at taking down turrets.
Lategame - The game should be coming to an end now. Try to build a Heztech Gunblade. The AP / AD boost on it is awesome, and it's active is great for making sure noone escapes. Stick with your team and lend your support in teamfights and turret takedowns.

BlackBerry smartphone maker, RIM, might be forced to open its records on the BBMing of London – now known as "the BlackBerry Riots" – after its direct messaging service was widely used to fuel riots and lootings in the UK. Could the smartphone replace the AK47 as the icon of modern revolution? By REBECCA DAVIS.
Last week wasn't good for social networking or the technology enabling it. In what must be a PR nightmare for the smartphone manufacturer, the violence in the UK has already been dubbed "the BlackBerry riots" in reference to the pivotal role played by the BlackBerry Messenger application in mobilising London's youth. After coming under considerable pressure, BlackBerry's manufacturers, Research In Motion agreed to "cooperate" with Scotland Yard to help track down the rioters. Exactly what form this cooperation will take is unclear, but without a warrant RIM could be asked to hand over information like the names of users, the number of messages sent, to whom and their locations. With a warrant, RIM might be forced to produce the content of the messages. In a statement redolent of the full force of "Big Brother", David Cameron told the UK parliament on Thursday that "when people are using social media for violence, we need to stop them".
On the same day, San Francisco's Bart subway system admitted cellphone signal at a number of the American city's subway stations had been cut off to thwart potential protestors' setting up meetings. The protest had been planned to express concerns about a number of recent shootings by transit officials. Civil rights advocates are outraged, but the Bart police force defended the decision, saying "This wasn't about free speech. It was about safety."
What both incidents reveal is that while social networking and communications technology are often touted as the ultimate weapons in the armoury of activists, its power can just as easily be turned against users. This point has been made for some time by cyber-sceptics like Evgeny Morozov, whose book "The Net Delusion", published earlier this year, pointed to how adept anti-democratic regimes have become at using networks like Twitter to their advantage.
In what was surely a marketing own-goal, Facebook chose Tuesday – the day after the most violent UK riots – to launch Facebook Messenger. Its stated aim? "A faster way to message friends and small groups". Just the thing for a teenager with a riot to organise. DM
Microwave popcorn is nothing special. You can have the same effect with normal popcorn kernels and a brown paper bag.

PhotoGlow — An Enlightened Photo Frame
Most photo frames don't excite us. There are exceptions, but for the most part, a frame's a frame.
So when Ed Sinofsky sent us a frame to check out, we were a bit skeptical. Until we plugged it in.
Ed earned his Ph.D. from the Optical Science Center at the University of Arizona, and his PhotoGlow frame quite literally makes your photos glow.
Just like the backlit ads in movie theaters and malls, light from the PhotoGlow's back panel passes through your image to make it more vibrant and saturated. Unlike commercial displays, the PhotoGlow is only 1″ thick, uses a super-thin power cord, and draws an average of only 15 watts while in use.
Friends who've come over and seen ours invariably ask about it, and after a few weeks we were reluctant to send it back.
Print your own photos or have PhotoGlow do it for you. Prices vary by size and start at $99 for a frame with a pre-printed image.
PhotoGlow – Backlit photo frame
p.s. Here's the original image we used for our PhotoGlow. The backlight makes it sparkle!

In a city that frowned on the idea of tearing down a 50-year-old gas station, it's no surprise that debate over a proposed ultra-modern building at a prominent downtown location is making waves.
In the case of the gas station at the corner of Meeting and Chalmers streets, it was purchased by the Historic Charleston Foundation in the 1980s and converted to the Frances R. Edmunds Center for Historic Preservation.
In the case of the Clemson Architecture Center planned for the corner of George and Meeting streets, its fate is uncertain.
One thing is certain: Its approval or rejection by the Board of Architectural Review will engender passionate responses.
Some different perspectives are illustrated in today's letters to the editor and in a column by Preservation Society of Charleston executive director Evan Thompson.
The Historic Charleston Foundation has offered support for the design. The neighborhood association in Ansonborough, where the building is located, opposes it.
Some would defer to the experts — architects who have the training and experience to predict how well a building will stand the test of time.
But few of the people who will be walking, driving and living nearby are so exquisitely trained. And they will comprise the vast majority of those who will appreciate the building. Or not.
Its architects, for example, look at the building and see a similarity to the "rhythm and proportion" of Charleston's architecture. And on the north and south sides, its architects have designed shade walls pierced to let in indirect light but keep out direct light. They contend that this feature is reminiscent of the many ways traditional Charleston architecture incorporates shading and shuttering.
These Charleston "connections" are likely to be lost, at least to many lay observers, in a glass, concrete and metal building that is otherwise much different from surrounding structures.
Designing and approving a building for such an important spot — and such an important function — is a difficult task. Incorporating modern architecture in such a traditional place is a challenge for the designers who must honor the building's surroundings and for the public who must be open to something new and different.
It is important that both sides make that effort.
The BAR has previously approved the scale of the Clemson center, and will today consider its design. If context matters, this building will require significant revisions, particularly along George Street, to respect the streetscape and the adjacent residential neighborhood.
Residents shouldn't be reluctant to speak up. Charleston will be living with whatever Clemson builds for a long time to come.

Fall Project 2015 #2
Can one have too many Agave parryii truncatas?
However I have a whole lot (15+) of 'Joe Hoak' grandchildren now. I must use them somewhere. 'Joe's yellow and pale green look okay with the Dymondia...
...but blends a bit into the wall color. Not enough contrast?
The "normal" color of the same Agave looks better against the same color wall, but enough of those there.
Perhaps something shrubby right against the wall, such as a blue-ish Leucadendron, with the row 'o 'Joe' in front?
It seems right to have some shrubby-ness, because of the shrubby plants on the other side of the driveway. Too much of a change, if one side was too minimal, right?
Pondering from that angle, I wondered:
(instead of plants in front of the wall), what about a band of identical Agaves grid-planted to extend the strip of slate squares? Too contemporary (and stark) for the house style?
More ponder: I
...with pendent A. hardyi, which is one of the ones with flower scapes appearing. The seed came from hardyi, which was blooming at the same time as cameronii, hence my guess. Five separate scapes on hardyi, so I guess it's happy enough, despite some scorch from the summer heat.
Aloe cryptoflora is relatively uncommon in cultivation. This plant's first flower. It's from summer-rainfall areas, so I was diligent about watering it this summer, though it turned red with stress (not diligent enough, probably).
Aloe vanbaleni:
Aloe capitata peeking out! Yay! Such a charmer.
First flowers emerging on A. suprafoliata:

Diddy Goes Back to Being Puff Daddy
And it's not even Throwback Thursday yet.
Forget Diddy Dirty Money or Downtown Diddy or anything Diddy has branded himself with for the past however many years (remember when he went by "Swag"?), because he's going back to Puff Daddy. Even though people have called him "Puff" and "Puffy" throughout the entire "Diddy" era, the man needed a refresh to go with the announcement of a new album called MMM and a promo video for "Big Homie" — a very un-Puffy-sounding collaboration with Rick Ross and French Montana. "#DIDDYORDADDY?" he asks on his Twitter, which still goes by @IAmDiddy. As it turns out, these things really don't matter! How about you some punctuation in there next, Puff?

The Big 12 announced its 2014 football schedule Tuesday.
Kansas will play at Kansas State in the Sunflower Showdown on Nov. 29, and that will end the Jayhawks' conference season. The Wildcats will visit Baylor on Dec. 6.
KU and K-State will end their current seasons on Nov. 30 when they meet in Lawrence.
In 2014, TCU and Iowa State will meet on the first weekend of December. Oklahoma-Oklahoma State will be either Nov. 29 or Dec. 6.
Other surprises in the 2014 schedule include a Thursday game for K-State. The Wildcats will travel to West Virginia for a midweek game on Nov. 20.
Kansas will open its Big 12 slate next season Sept. 27 against Texas. It will then travel to play West Virginia and return home to face Oklahoma State. A trip to Texas Tech comes after that, then a week off and another trip to Baylor. The schedule continues with home games against Iowa State and TCU and road games at Oklahoma and Kansas State.
Kansas State's conference slate will begin Oct. 4 against Texas Tech, followed by road games against Iowa State and Oklahoma. Texas and Oklahoma State will then visit Manhattan. Next up will be a road game at TCU and the Thursday clash at West Virginia. Its season will end with the home game against Kansas followed by the road game at Baylor.
The Wildcats' 2014 schedule will also include home games against Stephen F. Austin and Auburn, but it is not finalized. They are still searching for a third nonconference game. Texas-San Antonio was scheduled to visit Manhattan, but bought its way out of the game.
KU will again have a week-one bye in 2014 before playing host to Southeast Missouri in its season-opener Sept. 6. The Jayhawks' other nonconference games are at Duke on Sept. 13 and at home against Central Michigan on Sept. 20.

October update
September was a hectic month, with two shows. Gary took his big dragon gourd to the Raleigh NC show, and I worked hard on my gourd and got it finished for the Ohio show.
Gary's won first in his division and Best of Show at NC as well as the Steven's Family award at the Ohio show. This is the equivalent of the Best of Show award in the crafted gourds division for Ohio.
My piece won first place in it's division as well as an award for special recognition....whatever that means. Anyway, I'm pleased since this was my "Murphy's Law" gourd. (As in, if anything can go wrong, it will.)
It started with my carving lesson. I was working away, concentrating hard, when I noticed that the drill bit was getting shorter. As I watched, the bit pulled back into the handle and was about to fall out onto my leg. In a panic, I reached over with my other hand to shut off the drill, and sent my gourd flying across the room. Of course it cracked!
After gluing it back together, and getting hubby to put the handle back on the drill I finished carving.
The painting and leafing went well, but when I went to insert the tapestry it wouldn't fit into the hole I had carved. Apparently the curve wasn't deep enough for the inside of the gourd, although it had fit nicely on the outside when I shaped it.
Using two part Sculpy epoxy, I thickened and shaped the inside of the opening to hold the insert. I had to cut a couple of rows off the bottom of the insert, and the edges of the design were too close but I got it in. Then using the epoxy I filled in the back edges to hold the insert in place.
As I was decoupaging the inside, the weight of all that epoxy overbalanced the gourd and it fell onto the floor again. Luckily this time it hit the open side and bounced. (must have been the epoxy)
Now the gourd was too heavy on one side for the base, so I had to fill in the bottom of the base to give it more weight. This thing could work as an exercise weight if nothing else!
After all these delays for repairs, I was down to one day to coil the 9 rows of design on the top rim.
Well I finished it at 3am on Friday morning and by the time I got all my packing done it was 5am. We left for Ohio at 8am, so I was one tired puppy.
However, I'm pleased with it as it is.

European aircraft manufacturer Airbus has delivered the first of its new-generation carbon composite A350 extra-wide-bodied planes to Quatar Airlines as part of the aircraft's commercial launch.
Airbus, manufacturing its wing structures in the UK, said the jet will set "new standards in terms of passenger comfort, operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness".
"The A350 XWB becomes the most modern aircraft in service, developed with our excellence established over 45 years in meeting our customers' needs," said Fabrice Brégier, Airbus president and CEO.
The carrier, powered by two of Rolls-Royce's new fuel-efficient Trent XWB engines, is positioned to compete with Boeing's Dreamliner.
"With the wings and the engines designed and built in Broughton and Filton (Airbus factories), and Derby (Rolls-Royce), this aircraft shows that Britain is leading the world in the leaner, greener aircraft of the future," said UK Business Secretary Vince Cable.
"The government is committed to backing our world-beating aerospace sector through our industrial strategy, which is why we are investing £2bn jointly with industry over seven years in research and design into the next generation of aircraft."
The aircraft is the first in the Airbus family featuring carbon fibre fuselage and wings. The mid-size long-range jet can carry up to 550 passengers.
In addition to the improved fuel efficiency, the Trent XWB engine, made exclusively for A350 XWB, is also considerably quieter than its predecessors.
By the end of November 2014, Airbus received 778 orders for the A350 XWBs from 41 customers from around the world.
Quatar Airlines is already operating a fleet of the larger A380s and smaller A330s.

Google-backed Calico signs $1.5B marketing deal with AbbVie
Big Pharma meet Big Technology. Google-backed biotech Calico has found a partner and a marketer in AbbVie. The two announced today a collaboration to develop and commercialize new medicines for "age-related diseases, including neurodegeneration and cancer."
Both sides are bringing $250 million to the table to get the project underway, with the potential for each to add $500 million down the line. AbbVie and Calico will share profits and costs if they successfully bring a drug to market.
Also per the agreement, Calico (California Life Sciences) will create an R&D facility in the San Francisco bay area. The new company says it will begin filling critical positions "immediately" and plans to establish a "substantial team" at its new work site.
For the first five years, Calico will be responsible for research and early development as well as advancing projects through Phase IIa for a 10-year period. AbbVie will support Calico's early-stage efforts while also retaining the option to manage late-stage development and commercial activities.
Calico was formed in 2013 by Google and Apple chairman (and former Genentech CEO) Arthur Levinson to "harness advanced technologies to increase our understanding of the biology that controls lifespan," according to the company's website.
"Our relationship with AbbVie is a pivotal event for Calico," stated Levinson, who is also Calico's CEO. "It will greatly accelerate our efforts to understand the science of aging, advance our clinical work, and help bring new important therapies to patients everywhere."
Today's research agreement is the second of the day for AbbVie. The North Chicago drugmaker announced it would collaborate with another drug company, Infinity Pharmaceuticals, to develop and commercialize their oncology asset, duvelisib, which is currently in Phase II/III trials.

10. She's from South side Chicago and went to public school until she was accepted into Harvard Law School (making her the first in her family to go to college) getting her Law Degree to go along with her Bachelors in sociology. A true woman of the people who never forgot where she came from! She married her home state's senator for crying out loud. If that's not patriotism, idk what is.
9. She has some badass dance moves for a mom.
And she's up to date on all the latest dance crazes!!
(Keep in mind this was from a few years back so the Dougie was still totes relevant)
I wouldn't mind doing the Nay Nay with the First Ladayyy, heyyyyyyy #thefirsttwerkteamoftheunitedstates #flotus
8. Like many other FLOTUS she has decided to use her platform to focus on a specific cause. Mrs. Obama has chosen to tackle the very serious issue of childhood health and nutrition. With the launch of ChooseMyPlate.gov she's sought to reinvent the traditional food pyramid, which has been outdated, and introduced the food plate. It's a simple switch to help kids better understand the importance of a well balanced meal. The same goes for her campaign on LetsMove.gov which encourages kids to pursue active lifestyles and "Just move".
7. She was recently interviewed by infamous YouTuber and San Francisco native, Tyler Oakley on his YouTube channel. It's hilarious but it also focuses on the importance of pursuing higher education, another cause close to the first lady's heart.
And at the end there's a bit of a blooper reel and she's so f***ing adorable I can't even handle it.
6. She supports Beyoncé as a strong feminist role model for her daughters and women everywhere.
4. This song that teaches girls all of the right things in my opinion and also proclaims her a full fledged #BOSS
3. Her outfits are literally always on point.
2. You can tell she genuinely loves her husband and supports him both politically and emotionally. Which to me is pretty rad. I don't know what it is but I feel like I'm watching my parents. The way they look at each other, you can just tell they love one another so limitlessly.
1. She is the first FLOTUS of color ever.
Say what you want about this one; call it a fluke, call it a coincidence, or refuse to see it as a positive thing at all. Coming from a magazine, and a city that is made up of all shades, creeds and orientations, to see someone of a "minority" group working hard, utilizing a platform to spark positive change in the world and doing so with style and grace is empowering to so many people who are marginalized and silenced on a daily basis. It's enough to make you sit in awe that it's taken so long to see someone (someone like me) in a place of power. And if that's not enough to make her the coolest First Lady ever, well I really don't know what else to tell you.

Tottenham Hotspur Ladies first team are a win away from the London & South-East Premier League title.
Tottenham Hotspur Ladies first team are a win away from the London & South-East Premier League title.
Here are all the latest reports with thanks, as always, to Wyart Lane...
Tottenham Hotspur Ladies 4
Long Lane 1
Spurs Ladies took three good points from their visit to South London against Long Lane to take the title race to the last game.
A fine passing performance saw the Ladies outplay Long Lane and match them in the physical side of the game to ensure they would not be denied the victory.
Ten minutes in, a good move between Gill Blackmore (pictured) and Rosi Webb ended with Webb converting a save from Blackmore's shot to see Spurs take a 1-0 lead. Webb returned the favour by setting up Blackmore from Faye Callaway's cross to strike number two.
The home side started a long ball bombardment of the THLFC defence, but Spurs broke away and Kat Clifton picked out Jessie Richards with her cross to finish well for a 3-0 lead. It was soon 4-0 before the break when Callaway dinked a ball over the Long Lane defence and Webb ran on to coolly shoot home.
Although Long Lane scored soon after the interval, Spurs showed great discipline to see out the rest of the match to go into the decider for the title in their final game at home to Horley Town at Fred Knights. All are welcome to see the match for free with the kick off at 2pm this Sunday, May 4.
Squad : - Lacey Amato, Dom Clarke, Kelly Herrett (c), Athena Yennaris, Kerry Daniells, Kat Clifton, Gill Blackmore (Jenny Curtis), Mel Berry, Faye Callaway (Geena Gordon), Jessie Richards, Rosi Webb (Samrawit Bereket).
Tottenham Hotspur U12 Blues 1
Enfield Town Ladies U12 2
Enfield Town Ladies produced a fine performance to overcome THLFC's Under-12 Blues to go through to the League Cup final.
Midfielder Hannah Mills turned home a Louisa Fox corner to give Tottenham a first half lead. Enfield came back into the game but could not break through the Tottenham defence before the interval.
Halfway through the second half Enfield equalised from a corner and then went ahead from a free-kick fired home from outside the area. In a frantic finish, Fox's free-kick was blocked and Chloe Smith had a shot stopped on the goal-line to see the Spurs team lose for the first time this season.
Squad : - Naomi Coulson, Sam Delves, Jemma McCarthy, Helena Scotland, Monique Thompson, Alison Woodward, Phoebe Guiver (c), Femi Elisery, Louisa Fox, Amy Runciman, Hannah Mills, Georgia Miller, Chloe Smith.
Enfield Town Ladies U13 0
Tottenham Hotspur U13 0
A tight top of the table meeting between the Under-13 sides of Spurs Ladies and Enfield Town Ladies ended in a goal-less stalemate.
However, it wasn't a dull game. Although both defences were on top form, there were chances and Lily Tyrimos saved well on a number of occasions, while Becca Dowling and Vicki Blake both produced goal-saving tackles.
In the second half, Spurs kept the Enfield keeper busy with Blerta Berisha and Laura Newby firing shots on goal, but in the end, it was Saskia Collins who performed admirably throughout who stopped Enfield getting through on the Tottenham goal.
The league title will go to the wire with the teams having to meet again in two weeks time.
Squad : - Lily-Anna Tyrimos, Hollie Watson, Shoshana Field, Rebecca Dowling, Alexa Rangecroft, Jade Finch, Tori Tripp, Lydia Maher, Charlotte McLucas, Blerta Berisha, Saskia Collins, Vicki Blake, Tianna Carrington, Laura Newby, Bobbi Cubberley, Nina Pontes.
Harvesters U14 0
Tottenham Hotspur U14 4
A dull first half burst into life in the second period, as Spurs Ladies Under-14s took their place in the League Cup semi-final.
Harvesters battled well to disrupt the Spurs game-plan, but the chances that did come their way were not converted by the Tottenham girls until after the break.
Good defending kept a clean sheet at the back, but the breakthrough came shortly after half-time, when Nikki Hunnable's corner found Siobhan Jones, whose shot was saved, but Renata Inniss was on hand to bury the rebound. Five minutes into the half, Inniss' cross found its way to Molly Kmita who drilled a shot into the net to make it 0-2 to Spurs.
Eight minutes later, another Spurs corner from Hannah Lyons' fell to Jones to side foot into the net and two minutes later the scoring was completed when Sarah Skipper found Renata Inniss, who took the ball on before cutting inside a defender and burying the ball into the back of the net making it 0-4 to Spurs and earning a well-earned victory.
Squad : - Daisy O'Sullivan, Shianne St. Louis, Rosie Kmita, Molly Kmita, Harley Keenlyside, Katie Mills, Hannah Lyons, Ayse Mustafa, Renata Inniss, Taylor O'Leary, Sarah Skipper, Siobhan Jones, Charlotte Dean, Nikki Hunnable, Laura Smith
Tottenham Hotspur Ladies Reserves 1
Watford Youth 2
With an early goal, it was a disappointing ending to the season in this first game of a double header against Watford Youth at Fred Knights on Sunday.
Midfielder Hayley Graham equalised after good work from Fiona Butterfield on the left wing, following a Watford goal where they beat the offside trap to go through and open the scoring. Tottenham should have been 2-1 ahead at the break, when the Watford keeper dragged the ball back from behind the line and insult was added to injury, when the away side went in ahead when they scored on the stroke of half-time.
Spurs failed to play to their potential and a seemingly good second half goal Butterfield was disallowed and the Hornets hung on for the win.
Team : - Lisa McCabe, Hannah Charman, Mary Griffiths, Louise van Hamme (c), Katie Taylor, Hayley Graham, Charley Sandford, Laura Allen, Sarah Mair, Chanel Breen (Sam Garner), Natalie Arbuckle, Fiona Butterfield.
Unused subs. : - Ebony Heath
Watford Youth 4
Tottenham Hotspur Ladies Reserves 1
The heat, the injuries and tiredness of three games in a week took their toll, as the Spurs Ladies Reserves fell to a 1-4 defeat in the second game of the double header against Watford Youth.
Once more Watford took the lead and Spurs hauled the scores level, with Ebony Heath rising to head bravely home.
However, three second half goals from Watford earned them the win that left Spurs in fourth place, as both teams were glad to hear the final whistle.
Team : - Lisa McCabe, Laura Allen, Mary Griffiths (Hayley Graham), Charley Sandford, Katie Taylor, Hannah Charman, Louise van Hamme (c), Sarah Mair, Sam Garner, Ebony Heath, Natalie Arbuckle (Fiona Butterfield).
Unused subs. : - Chanel Breen

Style # 283594
Jessa Embellished Dress is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RachelTV from Perfect fit Love this dress, so snug and sexy perfect for date night or going crazy out on the town
Date published: 2017-09-05
Rated 5 out of 5 by kkaa from Beautiful Overall it is stunning and beautiful. However....After reading previous reviews I order size 4 even if my usual size 0. Size 4 is OK on the bottom and waist line but bit roomy on the top but I found an idea how to adjust it. It is short, mini dress. Overall it is beautiful dress, eye catching and for less than $200 on sale it is worth to keep it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Prettymary from Sexy Its a sexy pretty dress but it was to small am a size 4 had to return it for a 6 but other then that is beautiful
Date published: 2017-08-12
Rated 2 out of 5 by Trender from Beautiful but doesn't fit This dress is a beautiful design but it doesn't fit. If you have a really tiny waist, then it may fit you. My waist is not big in proportion to my bust and hips but sadly not small enough for this dress. I order it in a 6 and an 8 because someone reviewed it as running small. I had to send both back. The 8 was roomy on me except on my waist where it was too small. I have a couple of other Bebe mesh embellished dresses I've purchased over the years. They fitted well and were better because they had a separate slip whereas this one has panels of lining attached that are not stretchy enough and I think that is the problem. I am a many year repeat customer with a closet filled with Bebe dresses, jeans, tops and shoes. This was a disappointing experience. I wish the stores were still open to try things on

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – The Association of Division III Independents named St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) baseball outfielder Joe Mendez, its Student-Athlete of the Month for the month of March.
Mendez, a senior from Brooklyn, New York, had a monster month at the dish for St. Joseph's, hitting an impressive .469 (15-for-32) with a team-high five homers and 23 RBI as the Bears went 8-2 during the month. The outfielder recorded a hit in all but one of St. Joseph's ten games, including three contests with three hits. Mendez was a major run producer for the Bears, finishing with six multiple RBI games and scored 14 runs, concluding March with a .526 on base percentage and a dazzling 1.062 slugging percentage. The senior had his breakout day at the plate on March 29th in a doubleheader at Maritime, connecting on four dingers and driving in 11 runs on the day. Mendez drove in a career-high eight RBI and tied the school record for most homers in a game with three during the opener. With his fourth home run of the day against the Privateers, the outfielder became the Bears all-time career home run lead with 14 career long balls.

Evolve and survive
Alena Pance
Nature Reviewes Microbiology, 2017
A recent study in collaboration between the CDIPD and Elizabeth Winzeler laboratory used a modified strain of yeast that lacks 16 ABC transporter export pumps (ABC16-monster) and is thus more sensitive to cytotoxic drugs, to perform directed evolution. Random mutagenesis was induced in this strain by sublethal doses of MMV001239, a compound from the malaria box from the Medicines for Malaria Venture, known to be effective against the intracellular stages of Trypanosoma cruzi. The yeast clones that survived treatment with the selected compounds were subjected to whole-genome sequencing to identify the mutations responsible for resistance, and single nucleotide variants were detected following comparison with the parental reference genome. A surprisingly low number of SNVs were detected in the evolved clones and only four of these consisted of non-synonymous substitutions, which affected either ERG11 or ERG25. These genes encode enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of ergosterol, which is an essential structural component of the plasma membrane of protozoans that has a role similar to that of cholesterol in mammalian cells. We showed that MMV001239 binds directly to the highly conserved region of CYP51 and inhibits the sterol pathway. Finally, the mutations observed in ERG11 are in close proximity to the active site of the enzyme and predicted to inhibit binding of the drug without affecting substrate binding.
Twenty five years of drug discovery at the University of California targeting Kinetoplastid parasites.
McKerrow JH, Siqueira-Neto JL, McCall L-I and Otrubova K
Journal of Pharmaceutics & Drug Development, 2016, Vol. 4, Issue 1
This review summarizes 25 years of screening compounds against three major kinetoplastid parasites, Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi, and Leishmania spp. The work was carried out at two University of California campuses by a consortium of scientists. The history of this effort is summarized beginning with DARPA and NIAID TDRU projects. The compound collections that were screened came from both academic and industry sources. To facilitate screening, high throughput or high content microtiter plate-based assays were developed. Three approaches to discovery of new drugs for kinetoplastid diseases are presented. These include structure-based drug design against specific parasite molecular targets, repurposing of already approved drugs, and screening of marine natural products. As similar screening efforts against other molecular targets or with other compound libraries are ongoing, one conclusion is that the current bottleneck in drug development for neglected tropical diseases is downstream of compound screening and hit to lead. More medicinal chemistry efforts for lead optimization and more preclinical package work needs to be done.
X-ray structures of thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase from Entamoeba histolytica and prevailing hypothesis of the mechanism of Auranofin action.
Parsonage D, Sheng F, Hirata K, Debnath A, McKerrow JH, Reed SL, Abagyan R, Poole LB, Podust LM.
J. Struct. Biol. 2016 May;194(2):180-90.
The anti-arthritic gold-containing drug Auranofin is lethal to the protozoan intestinal parasite Entamoeba histolytica, the causative agent of human amebiasis, in both culture and animal models of the disease. A putative mechanism of Auranofin action proposes that monovalent gold, Au(I), released from the drug, can bind to the redox-active dithiol group of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR). Au(I) binding in the active site is expected to prevent electron transfer to the downstream substrate thioredoxin (Trx), thus interfering with redox homeostasis in the parasite. To clarify the molecular mechanism of Auranofin action in more detail, we determined a series of atomic resolution X-ray structures for E. histolytica thioredoxin (EhTrx) and thioredoxin reductase (EhTrxR), the latter with and without Auranofin. Only the disulfide-bonded form of the active site dithiol (Cys(140)-Cys(143)) was invariably observed in crystals of EhTrxR in spite of the addition of reductants in various crystallization trials, and no gold was found associated with these cysteines. Non-catalytic Cys(286) was identified as the only site of modification, but further mutagenesis studies using the C286Q mutant demonstrated that this site was not responsible for inhibition of EhTrxR by Auranofin. Interestingly, we obtained both of the catalytically-relevant conformations of this bacterial-like, low molecular weight TrxR in crystals without requiring an engineered disulfide linkage between Cys mutants of TrxR and Trx (as was originally done with Escherichia coli TrxR and Trx). We note that the -CXXC- catalytic motif, even if reduced, would likely not provide space sufficient to bind Au(I) by both cysteines of the dithiol group.

While some may still be paying off their summer holidays, autumn has now truly arrived – and half term with it. This looks to be bad news for parents' wallets, as research from American Express shows they will be spending an average of £276 per child this holiday break.
Given that the average family has two children, this adds up to £552 as their total expected half term cost. Further analysis of the survey reveals that fathers plan to spend a bit more, at £282 per child, with mothers planning to spend an average of £270 per child this year.
And they're not the only ones who will be spending on the little ones. Grandmothers are planning to spend £126 per grandchild, while grandfathers are planning for a £73 spend on average. Luckily, they don't seem to mind, with 51% of grandmothers and 61% of grandfathers more than happy to spend the money to enjoy quality time with their grandchildren.
Most families are planning to stay at home this half term, at 74% according to American Express' survey. This means that the most costly part of the holiday will be days out to exciting places, each estimated to cost £74 per child. However, 30% of parents have anticipated this cost of keeping their kids busy by unearthing the best offers and deals to help fund the fun.
Stacey Sterbenz, vice president at American Express, commented: "While half term may only last a week, wanting your children and grandchildren to have a fun-filled and active break from school means that costs can soon add up. However, with our research showing that these costs are worth the quality time we get with children, families can make their money work harder and get something back for their spending by paying for trips and treats using a credit card that offers rewards or cashback."
American Express' tips for families include checking with your kids before you make any decisions about expensive days out, as they may want something far more simple (and budget-friendly) than you'd think. A playdate with a friend would save both families a lot of money, while still making the children happy. Another budget-friendly activity you may want to consider is to make the most of the season and carve a Halloween pumpkin together. Hours of fun for just the cost of some vegetables.
Other tips include checking to see if you have any reward points to spend from your credit card, and doing your research to get the best discounts. If you do find you're not able to cover the cost of the holiday without turning to credit, make sure to get a card that gives you a long time to repay the debt before you need to start paying interest (have a look at our top 0% purchase cards). And once you've made it through the half term break without too much damage to your wallet, don't forget that Christmas is just around the corner, and it's never too early – or too late, depending on how you look at it – to start preparing for it.

Blepharoplasty is also known as Cosmetic Eye lift surgery & Eyelid Surgery (Upper and Lower Eyelid Lift)
Who is a candidate for eyelid lift surgery?
- Someone with drooping upper eyelids
- Bags under the eyes
- Excess or loose skin of the upper and lower eyelids
- Tired or angry appearance of the eyes
How is an upper eyelid procedure performed?
An incision is made in the upper eyelid crease. The extra, loose skin is trimmed away. If needed, bulging fat is reduced. The incision is closed with a running suture that will be removed in 1 week.
How is a lower eyelid lift surgery performed?
There are two types of incisions that can be used. An internal lower eyelid incision (transconjuctival) can be used to remove bulging fat without any signs of external scars. Skin can be removed from the lower eyelid if needed by an incision under the lashes.
This outpatient procedure, which typically takes one to three hours, is performed under anesthesia and is considered to be permanent in many cases–although it will not prevent natural aging.
After the procedure dry eyes, swelling, bruising, and sensitivity to light may occur but such side effects are temporary.
Eyelid lift surgery should be done conservatively so that the normal, youthful appearance of the eyelid is maintained. Too much fat removal may cause the eyelids to have a hollowed appearance and the lower eyelid to shrink down.
Blepharoplasty can restore the skin around your eyes to its natural, youthful appearance and drastically reduce the signs of aging. In some cases, it can even improve vision impaired by sagging lids.

By Betting Fool
Chronicle Columnist
You hear announcer Mike Krukow talk about "great" Giants, players who have earned the hearts of Giants fans with spunky play, memorable hits or longevity.
Jose Uribe was spunky. Will Clark sent the Giants to the 1989 World Series with a line drive off Cubs lefty Mitch Williams that still hangs in the air at Candlestick Park.
Jimmy Davenport, Chris Speier, Tito Fuentes, Robby Thompson, J.T. Snow and Rich Aurilia have each played at least 1,000 games as a Giant. Greatness.
But no player can hold a pine tar rag to equipment manager Mike Murphy for longevity. He's been at every home game since the team moved west.
The other day, as Omar Vizquel passed Luis Aparicio for most games played at shortstop, I wondered if he was a "great" Giant.
Seems like a no-brainer, but I would argue that he's not a great Giant.
He's been superb in the field, but his brilliance has been wasted on teams that weren't in pennant races. His hitting has slowed to a crawl (.187 so far this season)and he's now part of one of the worst offenses in S.F. Giants history.
What's great about Omar is that he's played shortstop at a very high level as he passes age 40 and he's done so with declining Ray Durham as his double-play partner. His glove-to-throwing hand tramsfer is magic.
He's been a positive influence off the field. All fans seem to like him.
But there's no huge hit, no playoff-saving play, no moment in the sun that everyone remembers.
Brian Johnson had one in 1987. Rod Beck had a few and John Montefusco qualifies because he's the last S.F. pitcher to throw a no-hitter.
Jose Cruz, Jr. is a bad Giant because he dropped that ball against the Marlins in the 2003 playoffs.
Salomon Torres? Yeah, the same guy who got the save for the Brewers on Monday, is a very bad Giant. He was torched the last day of the 1993 season, putting a bad aftertaste on a stirring pennant race with the Braves.
Atlee Hammaker gave up seven earned runs in the 1983 All-Star Game. Bad Giant, no garlic fries.
It's a fine line. It's also very personal.
I think Johnnie LeMaster is a great Giant. Some fans didn't like him then and don't honor his memory with anything more than a shrug and a laugh.
Why is Mike Ivie a great Giant? Because I said so? More than that.
There was a 1978 pinch-hit (for Vic Harris) grand slam off Don Sutton of the Dodgers that sent 56,000 fans into a Memorial Day frenzy.
Every Giants fan I know seems to have been at that game. I also gathered in a Ivie foul ball earlier that season after it banked off the scoreboard behind home plate.
Ivie's also a great Giant for this opponent quote. "Mike Ivie is a $40 million airport, with a $30 control tower." said L.A.'s Rick Monday.
Omar hit .295 in 2006 with 58 RBI and 24 steals in 2006.
Good stuff, not great.
Vizquel was with the Mariners (5 seasons) longer than he's been a Giant. He is a great Indian, having spent 11 seasons there and that's the hat he'll sport on his Hall of Fame plaque.

Randy Moss has done this before.
What it makes you wonder is where it's been, or whether the 49ers were just saving him.
Moss just gave his team a 7-0 lead over the Patriots, with a vintage performance in New England. His 24-yard touchdown reception actually paled in comparison to hanging onto a shorter route earlier, when he was doubled up by Patriots defenders.
Moss had 21 catches and two touchdowns for the 49ers entering tonight, not a huge contribution. Of course, this is the same guy who caught 47 touchdowns for the Patriots from 2007-09, so they know he can do it.

Justin Bruening is the New Knight RiderMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Meet the new Knight Rider.
All My Children hunk Justin Bruening has been cast as the lead in NBC's two-hour TV movie, Knight Rider, a Transformers-inspired sequel to the 1980s series; it's scheduled to air as later in the season.
Bruening will play the son of Michael Knight, the character played by David Hasselhoff in the original series. It's unclear right now if the TV movie will turn into a new show and how that will affect Justin's soap opera status.
Like Bruening, Hasselhoff was a soap star (The Young and the Restless) with few other credits when he landed Knight Rider.
Bruening also follows in the footsteps of fellow another All My Children alum. Josh Duhamel, who made the transition from soap actor to primetime leading man as the star of NBC's Las Vegas.
We'll have more on this story as it becomes available.

Man-at-Arms Roark, of Seven Sleeping Dragons, Westmarch
"If I've ever offended you, take a number."
"We'll be the Human Centipede of whacking!"
Formerly known as Skelly, or Roarkshack.
I started some time in the winter ('14) after FOM X after we drove by seeing, what has now become my home park, having an amazing time. After having my shit kicked in repeatedly by Sir Deimos, Griffon, and Krom, I was hooked. The moment I knew I was going to be here for a while was my second time out I had the wind knocked out of me by Deimos' polearm. and it was all caught on cam. "I really like the way this sucks" I thought to myself. Shortly after starting I was thrown into Monarchy and I was volun-told to run a park. But even though i was tossed into the fire, it only made me thirst for more. With the help of all the veteran park members help i got through my first reign with very little bumps and bruises. I owe it all to them that I made it this far. So if you're angry at me, see above, its all their fault.

Stripey Highlights Are Not Cool
When I was a teenager, blonde highlights were the epitome of sophistication. Everyone wanted sunkissed tones and to look as if they'd stepped effortlessly out of the salon. However, the reality was that we were all using at-home kits that left us with stripey hair that was about as subtle as a man in drag. I spent hours with plastic caps on my head, pulling through tiny strands of hair that were then covered in bleach; the result was a harsh look that didn't suit my skin tone at all, as well as incredibly damaged hair. Bleaching never did anyone any good - I just wish someone told me sooner.
Put Down The Straighteners
When GHDs hit the market we all went a little crazy for poker-straight hair. Volume and natural waves were not our friends, instead replaced with super straight locks or fake looking 'GHD curls' - a favourite with Girls Aloud! I dread to think how many great hair strands were burnt and damaged during the first year of GHD availability alone, but straightening irons got us all in the habit of using extreme heat on our hair and not worrying about the consequences. I wish I knew the damage they'd do and how hair with a little wave and volume looks so much better.
It's All About Protection
You can primp and preen all you like, styling your hair to make it look healthy and happy, but if you don't protect it from heat and damage then you're fighting a losing battle. Hairdryers, straighteners, curling irons and even the sun can play havoc with our hair, stripping it of moisture and leaving it incredibly coarse. Using a protection spray on wet hair before you style can mean the difference between healthy, shiny hair and dull, dry locks. It's a step you shouldn't ever skip if you want to keep your barnet looking fab.
Get A Cut For Your Face Shape
Hair styles come and go, but we're always trying to stay on-trend by getting cuts we see on celebrities and in magazines. Back in the day I always wanted a 'do that looked fab on someone else, rather than focusing on what worked for me. I tried long styles, short styles, overly styled styles and even graduated bobs - but if I actually focused on what worked with my face shape and lifestyle, I could've avoided a lot of heartache and hair mistakes. (Fringes have never and will never look hot on me, no matter what the magazines say.)
Replenish & Hydrate
Looking after our hair is of paramount importance and should be just as vital as cleansing and moisturising our skin. I didn't get into a regular routine until my late 20's, when I started to take the time to replenish and hydrate my hair on a weekly basis, but I wish I would've started sooner. Using a fab hair mask can help leave your barnet silky smooth, shiny and healthy looking... Plus fifteen minutes of relaxing is never a bad thing!
What do you wish you knew about hair in your 20's?

Even if you are a thrift shop shopper, you might be oblivious to the fact that August 17, 2015, was National Thrift Shop Day. Yes, I do believe that there is a holiday for everything.
With the spirit of the holiday, I thought you might find this infographic, which is based on Canadian shopper data, from Value Village interesting.
A few interesting tidbits from this chart are the fact that 76 percent of shoppers who visit have shopped thrift before and 33 percent of shoppers visit a thrift store monthly.
The most popular answer to the question, Why Shop Thrift is that it is cost effective followed by the fun fact that it feels like a treasure hunt.
What celebrity would you like to thrift shop with? I would LOVE to shop with Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise and/or Adam Levine. Not sure what we would shop for but that part is unimportant and obviously, they don't appear on this chart so I'm embellishing.
Do you shop thrift and if so, why? Finally, who would you like to shop with?
You never know what
I might have in store for you!

No longer will your menacing miniature armies fight over cardboard boxes and upside-down cups - a series of 3D prepainted terrain sets by Gail Force Nine will make those Mech-on-Mech battles even more vivid than your imagination. Most of the sets come apart to reveal a blasted, ruined version of the same backdrop, which is perfect since that terrain was only there so it could be hammered by long range missiles anyway.
Speaking as someone who has personally fought a Mechwarrior battle over a reactor whose cooling tower looked suspiciously like an empty bottle of Coke, the Reactor set (pictured) is the ideal target for your assault lance to obliterate. The City Block and Manufacturing Facility sets will also see heavy combat, while the Wilderness set adds a touch of color. Each piece is cast in resin and fully painted and comes with a unique Battlemech. If cotton ball smoke bombs aren't cutting it anymore, Gail Force Nine also has laser-cut plastic smoke and fire markers. They have licensed products for a few other sci-fi miniatures games as well, including AT-43 and Warmachine. Image by: Gail Force Nine.
