Watch how to make this recipe.
For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a mini cupcake pan with 24 mini cupcake liners or a regular-size cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.
Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Set the bowl aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the water, mayonnaise and cocoa powder together. Add the granulated sugar and flour mixture and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Using a bowl scraper, fold in the chocolate chips.
Fill the cupcake liners two-thirds full with batter and bake until golden and baked through, 25 to 35 minutes. Cool the cupcakes completely.
For the filling: In the bowl of an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar and tangerine zest on low speed until all components are thoroughly combined.
For the ganache: Bring the heavy whipping cream to a slight boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Immediately remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips in a glass or heat resistant bowl. Gently stir the mixture until all of the chocolate chips have melted. Set in the refrigerator to expedite the cooling and thickening process.
For the candied tangerines: Slice the tangerines into 12 medium-thin slices. Sprinkle a thick layer of sugar in a medium saucepan and lay the tangerine slices in the sugar. Sprinkle another thick layer of sugar over the top of the tangerine slices and cook the fruit over medium-high heat until caramel in color. Remove the pan from the heat and remove the tangerine slices onto a heat-resistant plate using tongs.
To assemble: Core the cupcakes by taking a small knife to the center of each one and cutting in a circle from the top to bottom of the cake. Fill this hole with the tangerine cheese until the filling reaches the top of the cake. Using a knife, place a smattering of chocolate ganache on the top of the cupcake near the filling. Stick a wedge of the Tuile Cookie into the filling and garnish with a slice of candied tangerine.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and powdered sugar. Add the egg whites, one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and the flour and mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
With an offset spatula, spread the tuile cookie dough onto the lined cookie sheet to about 1/8-inch thick. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely.
Mix the purple food coloring, vodka and cornstarch together until the desired consistency of food-safe paint is acquired. Using a medium round brush, splatter the paint onto the tuile cookie in an abstract fashion. Break the cookie into imperfect shapes (about 3-inch pieces).
This recipe was created by a contestant during a cooking competition. It has not been tested for home use.

1 Hasten, O God, to save me;
come quickly, Lord, to help me.
2 May those who want to take my life
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
be turned back in disgrace.
3 May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!"
turn back because of their shame.
4 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
"The Lord is great!"
5 But as for me, I am poor and needy;
come quickly to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Lord, do not delay.
1 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
turn your ear to me and save me.
3 Be my rock of refuge,
to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.
5 For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord,
my confidence since my youth.
6 From birth I have relied on you;
you brought me forth from my mother's womb.
I will ever praise you.
7 I have become a sign to many;
you are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with your praise,
declaring your splendor all day long.
9 Do not cast me away when I am old;
do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies speak against me;
those who wait to kill me conspire together.
11 They say, "God has forsaken him;
pursue him and seize him,
for no one will rescue him."
12 Do not be far from me, my God;
come quickly, God, to help me.
13 May my accusers perish in shame;
may those who want to harm me
be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 As for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,
of your saving acts all day long—
though I know not how to relate them all.
16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.
19 Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens,
you who have done great things.
Who is like you, God?
20 Though you have made me see troubles,
many and bitter,
you will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth
you will again bring me up.
21 You will increase my honor
and comfort me once more.
22 I will praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing praise to you with the lyre,
Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you—
I whom you have delivered.
24 My tongue will tell of your righteous acts
all day long,
for those who wanted to harm me
have been put to shame and confusion.
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."[b]
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[c] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Set It Free: Ranges at the Kitchen Island
Conventionally, the kitchen range is installed against a wall. And for good reason: it makes it a no-brainer when it comes to the ventilation hood: just run it up the wall. But then something happened in kitchen design: the range (or just the cooktop in some cases), was given the freedom to be located on an island in the center of the kitchen. But what about the hood? Here, we've gathered some options and examples:
Some ideas for ventilating the island range:
- Make a statement with the hood.
- Use a downdraft ventilator at countertop level.
- Go without any ventilation at all.
One thing we've always loved about the cooktop being at an island is that there is no backsplash surface that gets all greasy and grimy. Plus, it puts the chef of the house at a position to see 360-degrees around the room. What do you think of island ranges or cooktops? And what of the ventilation for them?

As we gear up for our Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance coverage this weekend, we've got old classic motorcycles on the brain this week at Asphalt & Rubber. So fittingly enough we learn today that the last Brough Superior SS100 ever to be made from the Nottingham, England factory is about to be put up for auction this week as well.
Made famous by T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia owned seven Brough Superiors in his lifetime, and even died riding an SS100), the Brough Superior SS100 is a historic and iconic piece of two-wheeled history. With only 71 examples of this motorcycle known to still be in existence, this particular SS100 up for acution is not only rare, but being the last of its ilk, is fairly special as well.

I finally found a place that stocks EVERY Jolt flavor (a glorious array of colors they sure are.)
So far I've had:
Jolt Cola
Jolt Citrus
Jolt White Lightning
Jolt Electric Blue
Jolt Cherry Bomb
I have to still try Red Eye and Orange Blast. I will be doing so soon and posting those reviews.
I have also tried Jolt Espresso, kinda, more on that in the review.
Jolt Cola: Not an amazing tasting cola, I guess after years of Coka/Pepsi/RC, anything different just doesnt taste as good, but it certainly doesnt taste bad.
Jolt Citrus: Very good, a competent competitor to MtDew with more caffeine. I really enjoyed this one.
Jolt White Lightning: I am not a huge fan of grape sodas, and this one I did not particularly like either. It is white, so thats kinda cool, and its weird to be drinking a clear grape soda, but regardless, not my thing. I suppose if you liked grape soda, this one has more of a bite to it flavor wise, along with the standard caffeine.
Jolt CherryBomb: VERY GOOD. Lots of cherry flavor, pick this up if you see it sometime and give it a try. A real different product, but very good.
Jolt Electric Blue: I have just tried 3 blue sodas in 2 days, Pepsi Blue, Faygo Moon Mist Blue and this one. Pepsi Blue was not all that great, Moon Mist Blue I liked alot and this is very comparable to Moon Mist Blue. Very tasty, VERY blue. Don't let the color that appears its been radiated scare you. Tastes like a blue slurpee,...
Jolt Espresso: In a small 8 oz energy drink size can, its a mix of cola and coffee. I dont drink coffee, nor do I like it, but wanted to try it anyways. Didnt like it, but anyone who likes coffee and cola may want to give it a try. Almost near impossible to find, I have only found one store that stocks it (not sure why, its a liquor store).
Will post my redeye/orange blast reviews when I try them most likely tomorrow.
If you want me to ship you out any of these products, email me at email@example.com. I'll do it for cost of beverage and mailing fees, no problem. Also, please post your opinions of the Jolt line of sodas.

Jolt Electric Blue is definitely my favorite. Second would have to be Cherry Bomb. All the other flavors, I just can't muster a lot of interest in. They're okay, but not really remarkable. I'm still trying to find a place that sells Jolt caffeinated gum. It would be nice if they flavored their gum like their sodas, instead of standard chewing gum flavors like mint and cinnamon.
I've never heard of Faygo's Moon Mist Blue before! I remember trying Moon Mist once before and not caring for it. What's the difference between regular and blue Moon Mist?

Blue Moon Mist I think was their competitor to what they thought Mt. Dew's next step was going to be, a berry citrus "extreme" beverage. (Kinda like Mt. Dew Blue Shock slurpee.)
Moon Mist Blue is really good, and I had a 24 oz bottle of it for 85 cents! I find it regularly in 20/24 oz bottles and 2 litre bottles in central illinois at meiejers stores.
Never had any other faygos, however.
The Blue stuff is the best. Cola is great. Cherry and Citrus are good. Orange is ok. Lightning is bad. And the expresso is ****.<b>Hey Pepsi, Shasta called, they want their lemon-lime back.</b>

tried Jolt RedEye today.. its REALLY good.
Can't quite put my finger on the taste, as it doesnt taste like traditional red pop, its a little bit different..
regardless, if you get the opportunity to hook up with some RedEye, make sure to!
only have Orange Blast to go, will get it tomorrow.
10-24-2003, 02:59 PM #6<Tsik> Guest
Ive tried all 7 flavors.
Citrus tasted like MD with a bit much lemon, but is good...
Electric Blue is good, not anything like Pepsi Blue so dont let that scare you.
Orange Blast is alot like Crush in taste...pretty good.
Cherry Bomb is my favorite. Think Mr. Pibb the original except better and with more caffine.
Red Eye is like Sprite Remix if i had to compare it with something...except it dosnt suck like Remix does.
White Lightning is the first non-store-brand grape soda ive ever had, and although it was kinda weird tasting it was pretty good.
And Cola was kinda average.
Havnt tried the espresso yet, or the gum.
Jolt cherry bomb is very good. I picked some up in Windsor, Ontario Canada.
If only I could find my Libby's real fruit strawberry (fraise) drink in Canada again.

I like the cherry bomb myself, but the last one I had must have been way past its expiration date because it was, ack, nasty.
andyGive me some cane sugar real Pepsi in a glass bottle... and not Throwback!
04-01-2005, 12:05 PM #9<joltinator> Guest

04-23-2005, 04:02 PM #10<firstname.lastname@example.com> Guest
Yes where do you get yours? I'm in Glendale, Arizona and haven't found it anywhere in the valley...I want to try it so bad? Have you gotten it at any national chains?

A 30-year-old midwifery student from the UK's Bournemouth University, Chris Butt, was recently told he could not attend a women-only breastfeeding class run by the National Childbirth Trust (NCT). The NCT has invited him to attend more open breastfeeding classes where male partners are also present, but has said that some women in the women's only classes are "sensitive" to a male presence. Thus, Butt's being there -- whether educationally beneficial to him or not -- would be inappropriate.
Butt has criticized the decision. Soon to join the ranks of only 132 male midwives in a nation 20,000 midwives strong, breastfeeding education will be one of his most important roles. Britain has one of the world's lowest breastfeeding rates, and, as in the United States, the health department there is making efforts to boost England's nursing mom count. Midwives are frequently the people who help new mothers first begin breastfeeding, and getting that solid start on nursing can make a big difference in whether a mom will continue to nurse. For new moms and midwives, breasts are a part of the new baby deal, and not the hyper-sexualized sell-anything objects normally aimed at the public male gaze. Because he's a midwife (or soon will be, anyway), Butt said, in a Royal College of Midwives article, "I didn't believe for one minute that I would be turned away from breastfeeding groups. Do the facilitators of such clinics think I practice midwifery in some magical way where I don't see intimate parts of women's bodies? Do they think I stand behind a screen as a baby's head is crowning, shouting out advice on when to breathe?"
I think his point is well made. And Butt is not alone in meeting with some resistance in his chosen profession. I recently wrote about 25-year-old Otis Kryzanauskas, a midwife in Canada, who was also came up against criticism and skepticism during his training. My feeling was then, and is now, that I'd have no problem with a male midwife, personally. I had a male obstetrician, after all. He was, in fact, the first person to help me get my own baby on my boob, and everyone in the room -- my husband, my OB, my nurse -- shared in that wonderful moment in which Kaspar latched on, I nursed him for the first time, and the world seemed to go quiet and stop turning for a moment, after all the noise and activity of Kaspar's birth. I was barely covered at the time -- I'd wanted skin-to-skin contact with my baby -- and everyone there had also just seen a baby come out of my vagina (yep, childbirth y'all); so frankly, by that point, my breasts were just no biggie. I was far too tired, and ecstatic, to feel self-conscious, and I felt quite connected to the people who helped bring my baby into the world. A male midwife, I'm sure, easily forms this same type of relationship with the families he serves, and perhaps even more so, since midwives work so closely -- and address pregnancy-related topics beyond the scope of standard medical practictioners -- with their patients. At thirty years old and in the business he's in, I've no doubt Butt would have presented himself as at once warm and professional at the breastfeeding class he was turned away from.
That said, the women in the class chose to attend the all-female, rather than partners-included, class for their own reasons. And those seem to me like decisions worth respecting. As much as breasts are no big deal in the context of an event like childbirth, the women in that class did not choose for Butt to oversee their births, had not formed that relationship with him, and all -- whatever their individual relationships with men -- live in a culture that does, as mentioned, treat breasts almost exclusively as male playthings and points-of-sale. Many men are outright (and aggressively) offended when breasts are presented -- even by the women whose bodies they belong to -- as anything other than entertainment for men. (Even some dads can't deal with it!) And many women have had difficult personal experiences with men, including sexual violence and variations on its theme. There are all kinds of reasons why a woman might not want a man in that class, and I think Butt needs to account for that. (There will be women who don't want him to be their midwife because he's a man. That's okay.)
If his top priority is these new moms' best interest and breastfeeding success, he should want for them to be able to relax sufficiently to get the hang of nursing, which is of course what they signed up for in the first place. If that means he needs to attend the open breastfeeding class, where dads will also be in attendance (which frankly strikes me as an even better learning opportunity), what's the problem? He's not missing out on gaining the knowledge and experience he needs, and the women who prefer not to have a guy around as they get through the first awkward phases of nursing can do so. I do think breastfeeding moms -- who vary dramatically in terms of public exposure comfort levels -- can all benefit from a little bit of an "I don't care what you think" attitude boost, a la Pink; it's a judgey world out there, and you'll have so much more freedom if you can don a thick skin, a sense of humor, and maybe a cover -- if that makes you more comfortable -- and do your breastfeeding thing. (Please moms, don't sequester yourselves at home for the duration of your nursing experiences!) But breastfeeding classes take place at the very beginning, when moms are sore, sleep-deprived and vulnerable; toughening up doesn't need to be one of the lessons they leave with. It's important that Butt, and other male childbirth professionals, continue to break down gender barriers and make midwifery (as a profession, and a service) available to all, but they must also cultivate a nuanced sensitivity to new moms' desires, experiences and needs.
Do you think Butt should have been allowed to attend the women-only breastfeeding class?

"Avatar" and "Clash of the Titans" star Sam Worthington will visit Chicago on Wednesday to promote his upcoming heist thriller "Man on a Ledge." The 35-year-old actor will meet with media to discuss "Man on a Ledge," but will not make any public appearances, as far as I know.
"Man On a Ledge" -- which also stars Elizabeth Banks, Ed Harris and Anthony Mackie – revolves around an escaped convict who threatens to jump off a ledge so that his brother can steal a diamond from a building across the street and prove his innocence.
The movie hits theaters January 27.
Heads up: Matt Damon will headline "The People Speak, Live" -- which features dramatic readings and songs -- at the Metro Jan. 31. Click here for details. … Lee DeWyze will help Viper Alley celebrate its one year anniversary March 10. The former "American Idol" winner also played at Viper Alley's grand opening.
Find love in a hopeless place: You don't have to wait for the next "Bachelor" audition in Chicago for your chance to find love on reality TV. Casting directors are currently looking for "attractive" single women ages 24-33 to cast on the new NBC reality TV show, "The One." If you're interested, email your name, age, occupation, phone number, email address and a photo to email@example.com.
On the record: "Chicago then was like this embryonic version of 'Portlandia.' Though, no question, the show's informed by my time in Chicago." – "Saturday Night Live" cast member and "Portlandia" star Fred Armisen talks to the Tribune's Christopher Borrelli about his time living in Chicago in the 90's
By the numbers: Sunday's season premiere of the Chicago-based "Shameless" was watched by 1.58 million viewers -- up 61% from 982,000 who watched last year's premiere. "Shameless" already finished shooting season 2, so the cast and crew will only return to Chicago if the show is picked up for a third season.
Sightings: The Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon and Inspectah Deck had dinner at Joe's Stone Crab Saturday while in town for their show at the Congress Theater. The New York Yankees' Curtis Granderson celebrated his father's birthday at Joe's that night with a group of over 20 people. … "Red Tails" stars Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrrence Howard hung out at The Pump Room Saturday. Gooding Jr. was also spotted at Paris Club that night. … Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein watched the BCS national championship at R.J. Grunts Monday.

University of Texas at Austin journalism professor Robert Jensen calls Thanksgiving a "white-supremacist holiday." His opinion piece, "No Thanks for Thanksgiving" appeared on George Soros-connected website Alternet on Wednesday. In his article, Jensen wrote how Native Americans suffered because of the "European invasion of the Americas." He went compared the Founding Fathers to Nazi Germany, asking "how does a country deal with the fact that some of its most revered historical figures had certain moral values and political views virtually identical to Nazis?"
Robert Jensen claims Thanksgiving is "at the heart of U.S. myth-building. "But in the United States, this reluctance to acknowledge our original sin — the genocide of indigenous people — is of special importance today," he explained.
Jensen claims that "not only is the thought of such a change in this white-supremacist holiday impossible to imagine, but the very mention of the idea sends most Americans into apoplectic fits — which speaks volumes about our historical hypocrisy and its relation to the contemporary politics of empire in the United States."
Wow, this is pretty deep and I don't believe for a minute that when most Americans think Thanksgiving, white supremacist comes to mind.

Horses galloping at sunrise
Biography: A lifelong horseman, I started taking pictures of the horses I was breeding for sales and stallion ads. Soon I became enamored of the visual art of the magnificent and glorious spirits, and have spent the past 13 years studying photography as a skill and equine photography as a passion.
In the beginning I focussed on pretty and accurate portraits and action shots of horses at liberty and horses under saddle to hone my photographic skills. A few years ago I started branching out into a more artistic style and a wider ranch of subjects. with my photography. Nothing satisfies me more that...

By Maria Tsvetkova and Steve Gutterman
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who died in prison in suspicious circumstances, was found guilty of tax evasion on Thursday in a posthumous trial that has further damaged President Vladimir Putin's reputation in the West.
The Moscow court also convicted Magnitsky's former client William Browder, a British investment fund boss who has led an international campaign to expose corruption and punish Russian officials he blames for Magnitsky's death in 2009.
Browder, tried in absentia, was sentenced to nine years' jail in the case, which deepened U.S. and European Union concerns over human rights and the rule of law in Putin's Russia.
"Today's verdict will go down in history as one of the most shameful moments for Russia since the days of Josef Stalin," Browder, who is unlikely to be extradited from Britain to Russia, said in an emailed statement.
Amnesty International called Magnitsky's prosecution - Russia's first posthumous trial - "deeply sinister", saying it "set a dangerous precedent that could open a whole new chapter in Russia's worsening human rights record."
The European Union said the trial sent "a disturbing message to those who fight corruption in Russia". The U.S. State Department said it was "disappointed by the unprecedented posthumous criminal conviction against Sergei Magnitsky."
Russian authorities said they pushed ahead with the posthumous trial in order to ensure justice was done. Prosecutors had accused Magnitsky and Browder of failing to pay 522 million roubles ($16 million) in taxes.
Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, declined to comment on Thursday.
Magnitsky died after a year in jail during which he said he was mistreated and denied medical care in an effort to get him to confess to tax evasion and give evidence against Browder, the head of investment fund Hermitage Capital Management.
The Kremlin's own human rights council has said there was evidence suggesting Magnitsky, 37, was beaten to death. Yet Putin has dismissed allegations of torture or foul play and told the nation last year that he died of heart failure.
A judge threw out a case against a senior prison official, the only person to face trial over Magnitsky's death, after Putin signalled that Russian authorities should not be blamed.
"Mr Magnitsky has been declared a criminal on the basis of unconvincing evidence, while neither the corruption scandal he uncovered nor the circumstances of his death have been clarified," Maja Kocijancic, a spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said in a statement.
"This is a revealing illustration of the state of the rule of law in Russia," she said, adding that the EU was "raising the Magnitsky case with the Russian authorities at all levels".
After lobbying by Browder, the U.S. Congress passed the Magnitsky Act, which bars Russians believed to have been involved in his death or other severe human rights abuses from entering the United States, and freezes their assets there.
President Barack Obama signed the legislation last December, adding to strains that have increased between the former Cold War adversaries since Putin returned to the Kremlin in May 2012.
Putin, who accuses the United States of using human rights concerns as a pretext to meddle in Russia's affairs, swiftly retaliated by imposing similar measures on Americans and also barring U.S. couples from adopting Russian children.
U.S. Senator Ben Cardin, a Democrat and author of the Magnitsky Act, called the ruling "shameful" but said "we have come to expect this sort of behavior from the Putin regime."
"What this does is continue the downward spiral of Russia's reputation as a law-abiding state and member of the international community," Cardin said in a statement.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters: "We continue to call for full accountability for all those responsible for Magnitsky's wrongful death and will continue to support the efforts of those in Russia who seek to hold those individuals accountable."
Russian authorities closed the case against Magnitsky after his death but reopened it in 2011. His family said it was illegal to try a dead man without the consent of his relatives - a position shared by the EU and Amnesty International.
Russia's own human rights ombudsman, Vladimir Lukin, also criticized the posthumous trial. "In that case, let's put Ivan the Terrible on trial," the Interfax news agency quoted Lukin as saying, in a reference to the 16th century tsar.
Browder says he and Magnitsky were targeted by the authorities in retaliation for exposing large-scale corruption.
His Hermitage Capital said in a statement: "This show trial confirms that Vladimir Putin is ready to sacrifice his international credibility to protect corrupt officials who murdered an innocent lawyer and stole $230 million from the Russian state."
Browder, whose fund was once the largest investor in Russian equity markets, says Magnitsky's arrest was engineered by the same police and tax officials he had implicated in the alleged theft, committed through fraudulent tax refunds.
He and his supporters have documented what they say is evidence that officials involved in the case had vastly enriched themselves, with homes, cars and other property far out of reach of their state salaries.
The case "shows the lengths that Putin is ready to go to retaliate against anyone who exposes the stealing and corruption he presides over," Browder said, adding that the government had inflicted "malicious pain" on Magnitsky's grieving family.
Magnitsky's mother, Natalya, declined to attend a trial she called an "outrage against the memory of my son". The court appointed defense lawyers after she and Browder refused to do so.
The courtroom cage reserved for defendants stood empty as judge Igor Alisov read the verdict, saying the state had proved its claim that Magnitsky, acting in Browder's interests, had organized and implemented a large-scale tax evasion scheme.
Browder's court-appointed lawyer said he would appeal.
Prosecutor Svyatoslav Slobodin said Browder would be arrested if he entered the country, but Russia's chances of jailing him are slim.
Interpol has refused to include Browder on its international search list after deciding that Russia's tax evasion case against him was "predominantly political".

The cries of "Checkmate!" were heard around the room at the 14th annual Chess Challenge hosted by Williams Elementary School on Friday.
The cries of "Checkmate!" were heard around the room at the 14th annual Chess Challenge hosted by Williams Elementary School on Friday.
Members of the Alachua County Scholastic Chess Association helped the students at Williams learn how to play the game and learn what strategies to use to help them win.
"It's a mind game and you have to figure out what to do and what strategies to make," offered Caleb Goston, an 11-year-old Williams fifth-grader who said he has been playing chess for six years, although Friday marked his first time joining Chess Challenge.
Caleb said he is still considers himself to be terrible at chess, but he added, "I've learned it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game. I know it's cliche, but that's how it is."
Robert Kaplan-Stein, president of the Gainesville Chess Club, said chess teaches logic, pattern recognition, cognitive skills, deductive reasoning and analytical skills.
He said the Chess Challenge gets kids to come together and use their brains, but you have to make it fun.
"The point is to expose the game to as many kids as we can in the school system," Kaplan-Stein said.
He said for a young person to play chess effectively, he or she needs basic instructions and then lessons. Chess is similar to golf and tennis in that aspect, he said.
John Harris, the Gator Chess Club faculty adviser at the University of Florida who also participated in Chess Challenge, said kids typically have short attention spans, so it is amazing to see them so focused and quiet while they are playing chess.
"You could hear a pin drop," Harris said.
Delaney Rodkin, a 7-year-old first-grader from Archer Elementary who competed Friday with her brother, 8-year-old Ben, said she loves beating her dad in chess.
Christy Rodkin, Delaney's mother, said, "It helps with their focus at school, and our whole family plays together."
Christy Rodkin said she owes her children's involvement with chess to the Chess Challenge. It was hosted at Archer Elementary School last year, and that is where her children learned to play.
Many of the kids' favorite part of the Chess Challenge is winning, and organizers of the challenge emphasize there are no losers in this competition.
Kaplan-Stein said all the children who participated received a T-shirt and a tournament-style chess board as the challenge came to a close.

'Star Trek'
With apologies to the Dos Equis guy -- "Star Trek" movies don't always involve time travel, but when they do, they were awesome. Original Recipe Kirk and Spock saved the whales in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home." Picard and company rerouted the Borg and met the Vulcans in "Star Trek: First Contact." And the new Kirk and Spock dealt with a villain who came back in time to avenge the destruction of his planet. All three movies made Trekkies squeal with glee.

Florida moved to its third straight NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 with a 78-64 win Sunday over Minnesota.
AUSTIN, Texas — As the 21-point halftime lead whittled down to seven, Florida could have reverted to that sinking feeling of second-half collapses past.
Not this time. Not on this big a stage.
Florida moved to its third straight NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 with a 78-64 win Sunday over Minnesota that proved, for a night at least, that the Gators could close out a game in the clutch.
"That's not going to be the last time we're going to be in that situation," Florida senior guard Kenny Boynton said. "I think every game from here on out is going to be close or a team will go on a run. It's great that our team will have confidence going into the Sweet 16."
The Gators (28-7) will next play Friday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, against Florida Gulf Coast, which became the first 15-seed in NCAA Tournament history to reach the Sweet 16. Florida Gulf Coast knocked off seven-seed San Diego State 81-71 on Sunday night to continue its Cinderella run.
"Right now, we don't know too much about those guys because we're so locked in on ourselves and what's going on with the Gators," said Florida senior Mike Rosario, who led the Gators on Sunday night with a season-high 25 points. "But I'm sure that coach will break down the next opponent and make sure we're on edge." For the first time in school history, Florida has reached the Round of 16 for three straight years. "I think this program is in a really good place right now," Florida junior center Patric Young said. "We're hungry for more. We want championships. We don't just want Sweet 16s, Elite Eights. We want to get to that championship, hoisting up that trophy, cutting down nets." Florida coach Billy Donovan has led the Gators to seven Sweet 16s in 17 seasons. "Our guys are great kids," Donovan said. "They work hard, they're very, very pleasing and they understand what the program is trying to build, what we're trying to do and I think they take that very, very personally." The historic achievement deep in the heart of Texas didn't come as easy as it looked in the first half. Florida built a 48-27 halftime lead behind the hot hands of Rosario and senior Erik Murphy. Rosario scored 17 points and Murphy had 15 points, and both went a combined 10 of 14 from the floor in the first 20 minutes. But Minnesota responded by outscoring the Gators 19-5 in the first eight-plus minutes of the second half, cutting Florida's lead to 53-46 on a putback by guard Austin Hollins. But Rosario and Scottie Wilbekin responded with back-to-back 3-pointers, extending UF's lead back to 59-46 and getting the Gators out of an offensive funk. Florida started the second half 1 for 6 from the floor with four turnovers before the two made shots. "We've been in situations like that before, having big leads and losing them," Young said. "But the difference in this one is we stayed together and the recurrent theme was to fight through it, keep pushing." Florida also got a huge lift off the bench from Will Yeguete, who came in when Murphy picked up his fourth foul with 11:09 remaining. With Minnesota (21-13) overplaying the 3-point line, Florida pounded the ball inside to Yeguete and Young, who got to the foul line. Yeguete finished with seven points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 25 minutes. Yeguete did the dirty work inside to counter Minnesota's physical frontline. "That's just my job," Yeguete said. "I think down the stretch, we all did a good job of taking care of the ball and rebounding." In a second half that featured 28 foul calls, Florida also cashed in at the free-throw line. The Gators finished the game 72.2 percent, making 26 of 36 from the line. "Whenever they cut the lead to about eight or seven, knocking down those free throws let them know that we were still pouring the points on," Young said. Florida overwhelmed Minnesota early. After a 3-pointer from Minnesota guard Austin Hollins tied the score at 10 early, the Gators responded with a 27-5 run, going ahead 37-15 on a Rosario 3-pointer. Andre Hollins cut UF's lead to 39-25 on a driving layup, but the Gators finished the half with a strong 9-2 run. Back-to-back steals by Yeguete and Wilbekin led to four straight points. Yeguete then found Murphy for a wide-open shot in the corner to put Florida ahead 46-25. Then, Wilbekin got another steal and found Casey Prather for an alley-oop dunk to put the Gators up 48-25. Florida went into halftime ahead 48-27, shooting 65.2 percent from the field in the first half and 50 percent (7-14) from 3-point range. The Gators also answered the physical challenge, outrebounding Minnesota 16-8 in the first half. Minnesota senior center Trevor Mbakwe, the Big Ten's leading rebounder at 8.8 per game, played just nine first-half minutes after picking up two fouls.

Friction torque and sealing
The permissible operating temperature limits the speed at which rolling bearings can be operated. Bearing types with low friction and correspondingly low heat generation inside the bearing are therefore the most suitable for high-speed operation.
The highest speeds can be achieved with ball bearings when loads are radial. This is particularly true of high-precision ball bearings with ceramic rolling elements.
Integral seals
The selection of a seal is of vital importance to the proper performance of the bearing. SKF supplies bearings with integral:

SugarDaddie.com Offers Sugar Land, TX Nearly $5 Million to Change Its Name
Everything is indeed a little bit bigger in Texas. Including wallets, apparently.
The dating website SugarDaddie.com has offered the town of Sugar Land, Texas $4.65 million to change its name to "SugarDaddie.com, USA" for the next 10 years. SugarDaddie.com is a site designed to connect wealthy older men with younger women – translation: gold-diggers – so they know a thing or two about recklessly spending money like it's still the 1980s.
Sugar Land, TX Mayor James A. Thompson spurned the initial $500,000 offer, but SugarDaddie.com didn't take rejection too well and upped the ante – way up. Guess those old dudes feel the need to prove they can get it up by increasing the take to the current offer: nearly $5 million.
SugarDaddie CEO Steven Pasternack tried to rationalize the complete waste of funds:
We are very serious about branding the city and giving birth to the first dating site-sponsored city in America. We thought it would be a great way to get the word out about our 10-year anniversary, and to be a permanent part of the Great State of Texas."
If the deal does go through, all the landmarks in town would be rebranded to have SugarDaddie.com on them. Presumably, the city would also see an influx of middle-aged men with bad comb overs driving Corvettes.
Despite the new offer, SugarDaddie.com shouldn't hold its breath because the town, located outside Houston, is pretty affluent as is. Mayor Thompson said, "We have an assessed value of over $10 billion in our city — I think it's very clever marketing on their part."
And like any good sugar daddy, Pasternack isn't going to sit on his laurels if things don't work out in Texas. He says his company is thinking about possibly making offers in Sugar City, Colorado, Sugar Creek, Missouri and other sugar-based towns. He said, "We are hell-bent on creating the first dating site-sponsored city in America." Daddy knows best, right? Ew.
