The Duchess of Cambridge's sister, Pippa Middleton, has given her first ever television interview.
The 30-year-old, who was propelled into the spotlight at the royal wedding, had a sit-down chat with American journalist Matt Lauer for NBC's Today show.
Lauer, who travelled to London to interview the party planner, revealed in a preview that they spoke about "what it is like to be Pippa Middleton".
The Middleton family has so far always been cautious about speaking to the press. But the interview has prompted suggestions that Miss Middleton may be offered a role as a correspondent for the show.
Lauer, who sat at a table with Miss Middleton in a sunny garden as part of a live video link-up to promote the programme, said: "We talked a lot in just the last hour about this great bike event she did across America, money she raised for two really great charities, and we are also going to hear about what is like to be Pippa Middleton."
Miss Middleton last week took part in a 3,000-mile (4,828km) charity cycle ride across the US.
Kate's sister, who is a columnist for Waitrose's monthly magazine, gained notoriety for her figure-hugging bridesmaid's dress when Kate married the Duke of Cambridge in 2011.
''It's startling to achieve recognition on account of your sister, brother-in-law and bottom,'' she later admitted.
Her party book, Celebrate, was marketed as a one-stop guide to entertaining throughout the year. But the publication was mocked by some for its over- simplistic advice and even sparked a parody Twitter account, @PippaTips.
The interview will be shown in the US in two parts - on Monday and Tuesday next week.

FOUR mates conquering an epic charity bike ride from London to Melbourne have arrived on the Coffs Coast on the home stretch of an epic adventure.
Ride2Rescue riders Daniel Seehusen, John Clark, Tim Holman and Aaron Turner have peddled 22,000 kilometres since riding from London to Dover in April last year and crossing four continents.
The amazing journey has seen them cycle through Europe along the Danube and Rhine, through Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and China before reaching Australian shores.
Challenged by roadworks on the Pacific Highway, the foursome plan to push off from Coffs on Wednesday bound for Port Macquarie.
From there they face a mostly downhill cycle of 4000km to complete their goal in Melbourne.
"Daniel and I decided we wanted to cycle back from London to Australia and we met up with Tim who had worked with World Vision and he suggested we should do it for charity and the next thing Tim and Aaron were on the ride with us," John said.
"We are fundraising along the way and exposing the reality of child trafficking that exists throughout the world.
"Child trafficking is said to be the third most profitable industry worldwide, after drugs and weapons."
So far the cycle has raised $25,000.

VIDEO: iFrogz Launches Line of Mobile Accessories for Kids
iFrogz launched their full line of products for kids at CES 2013. The Animatone line of headphones and earbuds has been augmented with cases and speaker systems with the same playful styling and kid-friendly features and we've got a video preview.
The Animatone product series is highlighted by child-friendly designs and animal-inspired images in a variety of bright colors. Both versions of the first Animatone audio accessories - earbuds and headphones - feature built-in volume boundaries to prevent the sound from being turned louder than 85 decibels, the equivalent of an average telephone dial tone.
One of the newest additions unveiled at CES 2013 is the Animatone Snug, which includes soft, durable, plush toys with front pockets designed for the Apple iPhone, iPod touch and other handheld media devices. The Animatone Snug line has a revolutionary and innovative wireless system called NearFA technology, first introduced with the iFrogz Boost line. Gadget users amplify a device's sound by simply placing a smartphone, MP3 player or other device equipped with an external speaker into the front pocket of the Animatone Snug, giving kids a fun and interactive way to listen to music or watch videos.
At CES 2013, iFrogz is also introducing the Animatone Tumble, a protective case for the Apple iPad. The Tumble holds the iPad in a strong, but lightweight protective case to provide peace of mind for parents when kids are using the family tablet. The Tumble features a handle that allows easy carrying for hands of all sizes and snaps out to become an adjustable stand for media viewing from multiple angles.
"Our new Animatone line lets us now offer creative product solutions to kids, who are very comfortable with gadgets," said Kent Wuthrich, executive vice president of marketing for ZAGG, which manufactures and markets iFrogz products. "As parents, we see our children naturally interacting with mobile devices; they use them for games, music, videos and more. With the Animatone line, our goal is to provide products that children will love, while keeping their safety as our top priority and providing peace of mind for parents closely following."
The Animatone earbuds retail for $19.99, the headphones retail for $24.99, the Snug retails for $49.99, and the Tumble retails for $49.99, as well. The Animatone line is available online at iFrogz.com and at select retail locations nationwide.

Developer John Reed to decide on major Hampton Lake expansion in coming months
Developer John Reed says he didn't hold onto a 450 acres on the other side of his Hampton Lake neighborhood through the worst economic lag he's seen in real estate just to dig another lake.
The man also behind Hampton and Berkeley halls, Belfair and Colleton River says he'll decide in the next four months whether to start up the first major housing development since the market tanked, but construction is a certainty at some point.
"It's too great a location and a piece of land," he said. "I didn't hold onto it the last five to 10 years not to develop it."
Since the market bottomed out digging for a large lake anchoring the new development that's connected to the existing Hampton Lake by canal has proceeded nonetheless. The sight of trucks carrying sand out of the site off Bluffton Parkway near S.C. 170 has generated questions from Hampton Lake residents who wonder what an adjacent development means for them, but some residents say Reed's recent presentation of a rough concept plan and greater communication have alleviated tension — at least for now.
"I think in the last 30 days the opinion has changed," said Hampton Lake resident John McAndris. "In the latter part of 2012 there was concern with miscommunication or no communication taking place. I think he's made a very good effort to remedy those issues."
At this point nothing is concrete, but the development could include between 750 and 800 housing units, Reed said. Also undecided is whether the development will stand alone or be a part of Hampton Lake, Reed said, adding his own economic research and talks with existing property owners will help make that determination.
The decision could have ramifications on amenities and representation on the three-person property owner association board, which has included one elected member since Hampton Lake reached 50 percent of the original buildout of more than 900, said Tony O'Brien, homeowner representative.
"There was already some interest to some level because (the new lake is) there, but there wasn't info forthcoming," he said. "Now that there's something there it's spurred all types of questions."
But while O'Brien and residents such as Carol Morse acknowledged concerns about the depth of the new lake impacting fish levels in the existing lake, they were both supportive, describing opposition as fairly isolated.
"(Opposition) just doesn't make sense, and I think it's gone quiet because they realize what they'll have is a bigger lake to fish in," Morse said.
The town of Bluffton determined in a preliminary review that the new lake has no effect on water levels in the adjacent waterway or on quality within the watershed, according to Ron Bullman, director of Stormwater Management.
For his part, Reed said the depth of that lake isn't yet certain, but it will be "at least the same as the other," which is about 11 feet.
Reed said the decision to start the development process hinges on market research, the ability to find investors or lending and potential legal entanglements, though he wouldn't elaborate on potential suits. Any future development has to play to Baby Boomers who demand sustainability and inclusiveness, Reed added.
"Basically, this economy and the real estate crash that had been the worst since the Great Depression kind of masked or disguised the fact that not only is there a new market reality but a new player in the retirement market," he said.
Until the digging on the lake wraps up, Reed says he'll continue selling the sand to contractors working on the U.S. 278 and S.C. 170 widening projects.
Extraction used to support S.C. Department of Transportation road projects does not require a mining permit, and Reed has met state requirements for definite construction plans, according to the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control.
"Things have slowed down since the downturn and haven't progressed as quickly as originally discussed, but we have to give a little understanding," said Kent Coleman, director of DHEC's Division of Mining and Solid Waste Management.
The department says this instance is different from a Reed project near Hardeeville that received a mining permit in November.
"The Reed HTI mine excavation is permitted to affect over 100 acres and will operate for five years or more as a mine," said spokesman Jim Beasley. "The Bluffton construction project affects a much smaller area, at least in terms of the excavation, and is more closely tied to the specific needs of the construction project."

200 prospective teachers expected at Saturday's Career Fair
Beaufort County School District principals, curriculum coordinators and teacher leaders gathered Saturday morning at the district's annual career fair at Bluffton High School to interview candidates for classroom teaching jobs.
More than 200 applicants pre-registered to meet with school leaders about classroom teaching opportunities for the 2013-14 school year.
"It's an entire gymnasium filled with talent and energy and enthusiasm – and our school leaders say that it's just as energizing for them as it is for our classroom teacher candidates," said Acting Superintendent Jackie Rosswurm. "It's a terrific way to identify and recruit top-notch teachers, which is a critical component as we work to maintain the district's positive momentum with academics."
Recruiting Coordinator Becky Randazzo said there are a few interview slots still open for applicants who have current teaching certificates. Interested teachers should call Randazzo at 843-322-2334.
Applicants who aren't able to attend the career fair can leave a resume and complete an online application (www.beaufort.k12.sc.us) to be considered for employment.

It is super hilarious!
That Andy Reid slide is just fantastic.
Is there a German word similar to "schadenfreude" that means "inappropriate to the point where one might go to hell, yet still tremendously funny, to the point where you curse yourself as you stifle laughter?"
Isn't that KSK's byline?
Kolberfreude. I like it.
Best LOL ever!

Never enough LOL. I need like 20 slides.
I would love to do more, but Yahoo decided to skimp on the game galleries this year, so I'm hunting elsewhere. Hopefully more meaty LOL posts in the future.
The hover tags definitely help expand my already considerable enjoyment of these posts.
Yes, hover tags are wonderful.
Catler is solid gold now.
Nephew Norv must not be related by blood to Unky Norv due to the differences in face craters.
Is Nephew Norv not Niece Norv?
Why don't you go suck Uff's dong, Bernard. BURN!
Hey Norv! I hear you're the uncle of SQUEAK!

Logged in my phone, just to give you a +1 for dropping a Baseketball reference. Nice work.

I like how Brady has T-Rex arms.

I thought cutler rested that game against the broncos. Cuz he's a cat you know, he sleeps 20 hours a day
seriously though, I'm pretty sure he didn't play a snap
So if someone were to have sex with cutler's corpse would it be necrobeastiality or….?
Speaking as a Steelers fan, this might be the funniest thing ever.
From Drew's Why The Ravens Suck:
"It is so hilarious how Steeler and Ravens fans hate each other because they are mirror images. It's like watching two retards dry hump the opposite end of a couch, shouting insults to each other."

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous' started by Ethros, Apr 5, 2013.
Disappointing. Tab A, Slot B, had diagrams and flow charts ready to go
Well, if you're not old enough to have her over without your parents around you're not old enough to bone her.
Scout101, Tab A goes into Slot A
Ethros just have sex in your room. your mum can probably handle the concept of people having sex, i mean you exist.
start offering to house sit.
... do it in a courtroom? or let an old man watch?
This must be an April Fools joke. Everybody knows Trekkies don't have girlfriends, let alone sex.
If your mom is out for a few hrs per day that's your window. What's the issue?
Before we moved to Fresno, we used to visit Hubby's family, staying on the pullout sofa or floor in the living room (read: There were NO doors to that room to close for privacy). We still managed, on a few occasions, to make love VERY quietly, and under blankets so nothing was actually "exposed." Yeah, we knew that someone could've walked in view. But the house was old and had wood floors, so we'd've heard them leaving their own rooms.
Having sex in the room next to your parents is possible. Just be very quiet. Like hunting wabbits.
Start gifting your mom with some all-day spa trips. Even if she gets suspicious she'll be too relaxed to care.
hotel is probably cheaper
Carefully, I hope?
With rising rent/property prices and stay-at-home kids, I can see this becoming more commonplace. Only advice I can offer from own student days:
* suck up to partner's parents. Like, big time.
* borrow a friend's place.
Yeah, all the advice has been given pretty much. Either do it discretely or find someplace else to do it. If you're afraid she's going to "seek solace elsewhere" well.... she's probably not worth keeping around then. It's not like she can reasonably object since she can't provide a place for it either apparently.
You could always invite your mom to join in.
Wise words, thanks, I hadn't really thought of that last point.
Yeah, thanks guys. I guess at first we both just assumed it'd be too awkward, but I was saying to her last night she's always welcome to stay over, so I guess I'll see how it goes
It's either that or deal with your parents knowing about it. I'm sure you can manage to be quiet enough not to disturb people too much if you try.
If your bed is against your parents' wall, the obvious solution is rearrange your room. Soundproof that wall if you have to, carpeting or egg cartons or foam packing material should work.
Otherwise, either one of you gets a flat, or you pool your money and get one together.
If the bed is the problem, use the floor.
I think one thing that gets parents antsy is not their adult kid having someone sleep over it's the someone then hanging around all day, eating their food, being one more person in the bathroom, basically just treating it like their house. If you have a small house especially this can be quite an invasion. They might like your gf/bf fine but that doesn't mean they want to be talking to them in the kitchen at 7am or waiting for them to get out of the bathroom.
So if you keep in mind the possible friction of invading what is your parents space with another person they might not object to her staying over.
And I second the floor, if the bed makes noise. Or put the bed mattress on the floor.
Separate names with a comma.

Victorino to work extensively with Ellsbury
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Shane Victorino is the only Red Sox position player who is playing in the World Baseball Classic. Because he's a newcomer to the team, manager John Farrell will try to get the right fielder as many reps as possible alongside center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury in the early weeks of camp.
Victorino will report to Team USA on March 1.
"In Victorino's case, we're going to be sitting on 12, 14 days max [before the Classic], and the time that he and Jacoby spend together in the outfield to me is going to be critical," Farrell said. "Their understanding of how much range each has and their communication, with Shane moving to right field full time, that time that they do have in camp will be critical as far as the reps together."
Alfredo Aceves (Team Mexico) is the other significant Sox player who will be pitching in the Classic.
"We had intended to stretch him out as a starter here [anyway]," said Farrell. "We haven't gotten confirmation yet, but we believe he's going to start for the Mexican national team. We're hopeful that he is. We'll start him through camp, and provided everyone gets through Spring Training who is projected to be in our rotation healthy, we can easily pull him back later in camp [for a relief role]. Same with Franklin [Morales]."
Dempster looking forward to facing AL lineups
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- There are starting pitchers out there who avoid the American League like the plague, knowing that it is a far more offensive-minded institution. But Ryan Dempster, who signed with the Red Sox as a free agent this winter, is the type of competitor who looks at such a challenge and says, "Bring it on."
Aside from his two-month rental with the Rangers last summer after a trade from the Cubs, Dempster has spent his entire career in the National League.
"Anyone who says it's no different, believe me, it is different," Dempster said. "You're not facing a pitcher. You're facing a David Ortiz. You're facing a Mark Teixeira. You have somebody plugged in to that spot who is a bona-fide middle-of-the-order hitter.
"You know it does change, but at the same time, your goal as a pitcher is to just execute as many quality pitches as possible. If you throw 100 pitches in a game, and you execute 90 of those pitches, you're going to have success.
"The less pitches you execute, no matter who you're facing, you're not going to have as much success. I think that comes down to preparing, practicing to do it and then maintaining your focus -- never letting up. I think that's the most important thing, is it's kind of a fun and exciting challenge."
Manager John Farrell noted that Dempster's numbers with the Rangers last season (7-3, 5.09 ERA) were a little misleading.
"After the first five starts he had with Texas, if you look at the last seven, he pitched pretty darn well," Farrell said. "You don't have that nine-hole hitter to have a little bit of a breather [in the AL]. It's apparent he made that adjustment successfully in those last seven starts. He's been every effective against left-handed hitters. This is someone that has been successful and he's been healthy, and we're expecting upwards of 180 to 200 innings out of him."
Farrell looks forward to running Red Sox
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Throughout their history, the Red Sox have never been known much for their speed, but under new manager John Farrell, Boston should, at the very least, be one of the most aggressive baserunning teams in the American League.
Farrell confirmed Monday that baserunning will be a priority throughout camp.
"For the position players, the one thing that might be a little bit different is just the time and effort we put into the baserunning -- from the new terminology that will be implemented to what we expect," Farrell said. "There are certain things that might be done in a controlled setting and not be done with reckless abandon by any means, but there will probably be a greater emphasis on that than what they've been exposed to in the past."
Jacoby Ellsbury has been an elite baserunner during his career. Dustin Pedroia and Shane Victorino also like to run, but what Farrell is trying to create is a state of mind for his baserunners.
"What we'll try to do is put pressure on the defense, as far as our first to thirds," Farrell said. "They're going to be dealing with a new third-base coach, a new first-base coach. There's a lot of things that we have to cover, and that's the in-game terminology that takes place that others might not be aware of. When a guy gets to first base, how is [first-base coach] Arnie [Beyeler] going to talk to him? Both verbal and non-verbal. There's a lot of things that we'll go through that will be in chalk-talk sessions to drill work to ultimately going out on the field."
Doubront, Breslow to take it slow early in camp
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- All Red Sox pitchers and catchers underwent physicals on Monday, and there were no red flags, but manager John Farrell did say that left-handers Felix Doubront and Craig Breslow will be on a more conservative program than the other pitchers.
This was not due to anything that came up in the physicals, but rather from symptoms during long toss.
Doubront is projected as one of Boston's five starters. Breslow will be a key lefty out of the bullpen.
"Both of those guys will be a little bit held back," Farrell said. "More precautionary than anything. Again, when they got aggressive in their long-toss program, there was some sensation in there, a little bit of irritation. We want to be clear that it's not an injury situation. It's just precautionary at this point. With the additional time, an additional week in Spring Training with the WBC, we're going to take advantage of it early."

Also people like to add title of Rinpoche to any tibetan Lama, first he is just Lama, later he becomes Rinpoche, sometimes he is not even a Lama in the first place, maybe just a ngagpa.
Tashi delek,
Regarding the word Lama:
- For a Nepali, a Tibetan is mostly called Lama
- In the Kagyu Tradition one is a Lama after the 3, 3 , 3 , 3 retreat
- A Lama can be also be a teacher, maybe also counting for a Ngakpa?
A Rinpoche can be a precious person who can teach Dharma in a perfect way.
Best wishes

"We're pulling out all the stops," Kirk Hammett told us last year, while discussing Metallica's upcoming feature film, Through The Never, at Metallica's first Orion Festival in Atlantic City. "We built a monster stage, we're gonna have a tremendous production, we're gonna play all of our greatest songs and it is gonna be (huge)."
He wasn't kidding. Metallica's stage set for the shows they recorded for the film (during a three night stand in Montreal last year) did indeed feature some of their most iconic songs: "Creeping Death," "For Whom The Bell Tolls," "Master Of Puppets," "Enter Sandman," and some lesser known tracks, including "Ride The Lightning" and the epic "…And Justice For All." And they did pull out all of their stage effects from their biggest tours, including the crumbling statue from the cover of …And Justice For All, the barrage of explosions during "One" and the collapsing stage (the stage actually falls apart, a tech on fire runs across the stage and another tech swings upside down from above the stage) from their 1997 tour for Load.

As far as concert films go, if it isn't the most beautifully shot one of all time, it's close. You actually do feel like you're onstage with the band. But – ostensibly – this isn't supposed to be just a Metallica concert film. There's a narrative.
Dane DeHaan (who we will be seeing more of in the next two Spider-Man films) plays a Metallica roadie named Trip who goes on an "important mission" for the band. It's tempting to say that "hijinks ensue," but that would make it sound like a comedy. What actually ensues is a vague, but cool-looking, apocalypse. He even faces off against a creepy horseman (no doubt one of "The Four Horsemen," although that song isn't in the film). The storyline seemed to take up no more than 20 minutes of the film and seemed completely secondary (rightfully so) to the performance.
(Courtesy Of Through The Never)
Metallica has been doing the film festival circuit (and even played at San Diego's ComicCon) as if the film is a cinematic event. But the film comes off as an extended music video (which isn't as compelling as, say, Metallica's eleven and a half minute film for "The Unforgiven") where the storyline is secondary, and only barely connected to, Metallica's crushing performance.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. No matter how good the story is, the odds of someone going to see the film if they aren't a Metallica fan is rather low, and the film is way more watchable than, say, Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains The Same. What would Metallica's Song Remains The Same have looked like? When we spoke to Hammett, he gave us an idea: "The narrative isn't going to be James racing in monaco, Rob surfing, I'm swordfighting a troll in Norway." And let's be thankful for that. Because the bottom line is: if you love Metallica, you're going to have a blast at this flick, without having to watch the band members in sci-fi situations.

The recommendations approved by the seven-member board can fit on a single Power Point slide. But state Education Commissioner Alice Seagren told board members the document holds the potential to blaze a new path for the district and its students.
"The new course that you set tonight by accepting these reforms in their entirety will position Minneapolis to serve as a beacon of hope, and the promise that a large urban school district will truly succeed and be an example for the rest of the nation," Seagren said. "The governor and I are counting on you, and will stand with you as you carry out these reforms."
Seagren is referring to the goals to increase academic rigor, improve professional development and set high expectations for both staff and students.
The recommendations began as a set of solutions identified by the management consulting firm McKinsey and Co., and honed through months of meetings with community members and administrators.
Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak urged board members to not flinch in adopting and following through with the recommendations.
"People have said over and over, 'When are we going to get a strong superintendent and a gutsy school board and have them do the bold plan we need to actually have change happen?'" Rybak said. "We have finally come to that moment now."
Some of the recommendations remain vague and unmeasurable. They direct the district to "transform relationships...with families" and "build widespread internal and external support."
But others apply numbers and sound an ominous tone for some existing practices. The goals call for restructuring the bottom 25 percent of the district's schools. In five years, 80 percent of all the district's students will reach college acceptability on the ACT. Staff will have clear expectations and low performers will be removed.
This last line adds to worries by the teacher's union, which is in the midst of difficult contract talks. Minneapolis Federation of Teachers President Robert Panning-Miller thinks the district will point to the plan as an excuse to roll back provisions, such as teacher seniority, that allow veteran teachers to move to other positions if theirs is cut.
We have put a stake in the ground. We've drawn a line.Minneapolis School Board member Sharon Henry-Blythe
"It's something that is under attack in lots of districts," Panning-Miller said. "Most districts don't have the strong seniority that we have, so it's all the more reason for them to go after our contract language."
Still others are concerned the plan doesn't go far enough. Board member Chris Stewart sees the current language as a list of watered-down, nice-sounding ideas that everyone can agree on.
"We're getting criticism in some ways about our recommendations being too vague," Stewart said. "And when I look at this -- you say, 'Raise expectations and academic rigor for all.' So what's the opposite of that? Don't raise [expectations]? Duh."
Stewart voted for the plan but says the hard work of following through remains.
Sharon Henry-Blythe, the longest serving board member, agrees the strategic plan needs careful and strong guidance from here on out, and none of the board members will escape, in her words, being scratched and scarred. But Henry-Blythe says this is the boldest step she's seen in her tenure.
"I have sat here for seven years," Henry-Blythe said.
She went on to read from the goals: "'Eighty percent of all Minneapolis Public Schools students reach threshold score on college entrance exams.' Do you hear that? We're so busy talking about everybody failing we don't even get to a discussion about college entrance exams and ACTs. We have put a stake in the ground. We've drawn a line."
The strategic plan approved by the board provides an overarching set of principles that inform future steps. The district intends to have a more specific explanation of what changes are necessary next spring.

Last 10 Offensive/Defensive rookies of the year.
2002: Clinton Portis & Julius Peppers.
2003: Anquan Boldin & Terrell Suggs.
2004: Ben Roethlisberger & Jonathan Vilma.
2005: "Cadillac" Williams & Shawne Merriman.
2006: Vince Young & DeMeco Ryans.
2007: Adrian Peterson & Patrick Willis.
2008: Matt Ryan & Jerod Mayo.
2009: Percy Harvin & Brian Cushing.
2010: Sam Bradford & Ndamukong Suh
2011: Cam Newton & Von Miller.
Most of these previous rookie of the year winners have developed into 'the truth'. Which year instantly stands out to me? I'd have to say 2007 with Adrian Peterson and Patrick Willis. Roethlisberger and Vilma have also led their units (offense and defense) to Super Bowl championships. I'd have to rank Cadillac Williams and Merriman of 2005 as the weakest group of rookie of the year winners. Ryan and Mayo of 2008 aren't all that impressive either. Got a little side tracked for a second there, now it's time for the meat and potatoes of this topic of discussion.
5 QB's, 3 RB's and 2 WR's have taken home the award over the past 10 seasons. What's that tell me? That offensive lineman, tight ends and fullbacks aren't likely to win this award. QB's have the advantage while both RB's and WR's are fair game. 8 of these 10 winners were first round draft picks. Portis and Boldin were both 2nd round draft picks. What's this tell me? I'm looking inside the 1st round for my up coming ROY.
5 MLB's, 3 OLB's, 1 DE and 1 DT have taken home this award over the past 10 seasons. What's this show me? That secondary players (unless your a Charles Woodson type of prospect) aren't going to make enough impact plays to take home this award. Freaks of nature DE's such as Peppers and monster types of DT's such as Suh stand a fighting chance. This award has been dominated by MLB's and OLB's over the past 10 years with MLB holding a 50/30 advantage over OLB's due to the amount of tackles they're able to wrack up. 9 of these 10 winners were first round draft picks. Ryans was the only 2nd round draft pick, but went very high as the 1st pick of the 2nd round. Whats this telling me? I'm going with a first round selection this up coming season.
OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: RB, Trent Richardson, Cleveland Browns.
Why would I go with a RB over the likes of top rated QB's such as Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III? To me, it's a combination of things. Trent Richardson is the closest thing I've seen to AP coming out of college since Adrian Peterson himself. He has the overall size, strength and speed to go along with a physical 227-pound frame, and also rushes the football with lots of impact power. He's my lock to take it home for the Cleveland Browns.
We all know that Andrew Luck has been ranked as the highest rated QB coming out since Elway. If you were to ask me, he's a lock to develop into a very good to great player, but he's not in a Sanchez type of situation situation (great defense, ground and pound offense, top of the line offensive line etc, etc). He's in more of a Ryan Leaf type of situation. That Colts defense is a shell of what it once was, they may not protect their QB by keeping points off the board, and he's walking into a 2-14 type of situation. I can envision/picture Luck having a 1998 Peyton Manning type of rookie season. May develop him into a stronger QB as time goes on, he may put up numbers; but it won't be pretty. As far as RG3? NFC East. He'll have to face those Giants, Cowboys and Eagles defense 6 times. The weather in NJ and Philly won't be pretty either. He'll also have to go up against D's such as the Steelers in Pittsburgh, Ravens, Bengals and even Saints. I don't like this kids chances of future success here in 2012.
DEFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: DE, Quinton Coples, New York Jets.
Why would I go with Quinton Coples over LB's such as Luke Kuechly and Dont'a Hightower or opposing DE's such as Melvin Ingram? To me it's simple. Jet fans may feel I'm only going with Coples because he's a Jet, but if that were the case I would have went with Stephen Hill over Richardson and everyone else. I'm going with Coples because I feel he's in best possible position to succeed 'right away' under a Rex Ryan/Darrelle Revis led defense. Coples is playing alongside a stacked defensive front with Pouha at NT and Wilkerson as the opposite DE. He'll be playing in front of veteran LB's such as Scott, Harris and Thomas. Will have an extra .5 to 1 second in regards to rushing the quarterback due to our trio of CB's in Revis, Cromartie and Wilson locking up opposing WR's. Not only that, but he's experienced in both the 3-4 and 4-3 defensive schemes during the years that he played with NC. Can line up as a 4-3 speed rushing DE, can play the run while getting into the backfield as a 3-4 DE etc, etc.
At 6'6/285 pounds, look for Rex to line this kid up all over the defensive front. This is what Mayock had to say about Coples: "I've been highly critical of him. However, he showed up at the Senior Bowl and showed he could play like Julius Peppers". As being one of the highest rated DE's coming out of this years draft class, Coples is my pick. Another reason why I'm going with Coples, is because I trust Rex in regards to talent evaluation on the defensive line. When Rex seen Coples during his pro day? He promised Coples man to man, that if he were still on the board when the Jets were selecting 16th overall? That he'll become a Jet. Come draft day? Rex was a man of his word, and selected Quinton Coples. I truly believe Rex sees something in this kid.

Related quotes
"We are not the first, but I am sure we will not be the last. After us will come many other countries, driven, ladies and gentleman, by two unstopable forces: freedom and equality."
"With one side of his mouth the Prime Minister Gonzi tells the Leader of the Opposition to take his questions of corruption to the Police Commissioner. With the other side he denies the opposition the proper working of the mechanism of the Public Accounts Committee. Something's beginning to rot, somewhere."
"God forbid that the rules of the political game should be played about with in the manner proposed by Gonzi."
"An opposition leader deals with the Prime Minister, not with component parts of the executive. Were opposition members to go directly to members of the public administration with their queries, the government would surely yell 'foul!' And rightly so."
"I will definitely not put it beyond our beleaguered prime minister to try to cash in on the Pope's visit to score some points on the local front through anti divorce digs and tirades on his part."


text: I don't know about simian pecking orders, so I can't comment on any similarities. The algorithm used here is known variously as the Schulze Method, the Beatpath method, and Cloneproof Schwarz Sequential Dropping. Beatpath and CSSD are actually two different algorithms that provably produce the same results; both are known as the Schulze Method after Marcus Schulze, whose analysis of the behavior of the methods helped to popularize them. You can Google for the details, but I'll describe the basic idea. Given the preferences you posted I can determine, for any given pair of episodes, whether you have expressed a preference between the two episodes and if so which. (You, for example, expressed a preference of Hide and Q over Conspiracy, but no preference between Hide and Q and Encounter at Farpoint.) Thus, for any pair of episodes, we can take a vote to see which episode is preferred by the majority of those who express a preference. The graph above indicates that Conspiracy wins against Where No One Has Gone Before, but the vote between Conspiracy and 11001001 is a tie, as is the vote between WNOHGB and 11001001. (Note that the somewhat complex shape of this graph is a result of the small number of voters we have, which allows for a lot of ties. Ties are much less common when there is a very large number of voters, unless they're Floridians.) It is possible for the method I just described to produce a graph with cycles. The Schulze Method has provisions for breaking any such cycles to produce a DAG. You can Google for the details, or we can discuss them later.

Man this free throw disparity is ridiculous....
Oh snap...I was just thinking that JJ looked like Charles Smith with those 2 blocked shots... lol
YES CLOSE IT OUT BABY>>> 3min and counting
lmao @ JJ. Melo got on him about using his ass to root em out
I'll be switching over to the Magic game after this. If we win & ORL loses we're ONLY 5 games back or the freakin 4 seed... If that happens we would have gained a full 3 games in as many nights. I just have a weird feeling the Kings will pull off a huge upset tonight.
Damn what a stupid ****in foul by Jeffries....sig change
Lmao to jj offense.
Lmao to the Memphis fans getting gassed.
We got this guys relax. It shouldn't have gotten this close tho.
Jeffries gets dunked on mda takes him out good move lmao.
DONT BLOW THIS> This is bad. only 12points in the whole quarter
This is a joke.. what was Douglas thinking taking that shot? The entire game we are moving without the ball and now all of a sudden we start playing the 1 on 1 game? Why?
U ni9gas need to relax we not about to lose Stat will not allow that.
Man did we get lucky with that. Big possession right here.. We need to get points on the board
30,31,35 in first 3quarters. then 12 in 4th. the can tie this with a 3. bad way to close out a game. DID we get that COLD or did they play good D on us and put the clamps down??? cant get game down here where I live. Maybe we can learn a lesson from this. whens the last time we held anyone to 12 in a quarter

Written consent to action without meeting of the sole director of _________________________ (the "Corporation") dated this 24th day of January, 2018.
Dated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on the 24th day of January, 2018.
__________________________________ (Signature)Director Name: _____________________________
A Directors' Resolution is also known as:
A Directors' Resolution is a document used to record actions or decisions made by the board of directors in a corporation.
A Directors' Resolution is also referred to as a Consent to Action Without Meeting. It can be used in place of a corporate meeting to formally record the binding decisions of the board, so long as all directors agree and authorize the resolution.
Often, signing a Directors' Resolution is just as simple and effective as holding regular meetings and is a more convenient alternative for busy directors who may not have time to attend formal gatherings.
A Directors' Resolution form is used by the board of directors in a corporation to document decisions and actions in place of a Directors' Meeting. Alternatively, a Shareholders' Resolution is used by shareholders in a corporation to propose amendments, decisions or changes to the corporation at a Shareholders' Meeting.
In small corporations, shareholders often double as directors, but it's still important to understand the differences between the two types of resolutions to know which document to use in what instances.
Corporate minutes are another form of documentation used during a Directors' or Shareholders' Meeting to record the happenings during the meeting itself, including legal, tax and financial decisions and votes taken to approve or disapprove these decisions.
Maintaining corporate minutes is a valuable form of recordkeeping. It lowers the chance of future disputes, as well as keeps track of meeting resolutions should the corporation ever require a paper trail to follow through on an action, or provide evidence of a decision.
A certified corporate resolution is a resolution made at a Directors' or Shareholders' Meeting that has been approved by the secretary and president of the corporation. This type of resolution is useful if a bank or other external organization ever requires verification to permit specific actions or powers, such as the authority to sign documents on behalf of the corporation.
Any corporate decision that can be made at a Directors' Meeting can be documented in a Directors' Resolution, including, but not limited to:

Stopped by to try the beer. Was not impressed. Prefer Nimbus.
The truth is I really want to love this place. I absolutely love to drink and brew beer. I live downtown and the Barrio Brewery is easily walking distance from my house. It's got a really great environment. The Problem is the beer is just so terrible. Literally every single beer they make is criminally wrong. The from the IPA to the Porters and Stouts everything is just off (and it's hard to screw up a stout). Beyond that the beer actually makes me ill. Every time I go there and have more than one or two beers I get sick. I also know other people who have said the same thing.
If your not a beer connoisseur then head on over. If you are, do yourself a favor and order a shot of tequila with your burger.

Thanks to all my readers for helping me get back into the Latest Leaders List at number 45! In keeping with the tradition started by Jimmy at Baseball, The Yankees, and Life.. I am dedicating this entry to one of my very favorite Phillies. With no more than a moment's thought, I knew it would be Tug McGraw.
Frank Edwin McGraw, Jr. was born August 30, 1944 in Martinez, California. He was christened with the nickname Tug as a child, supposedly by his mother for his aggressive style of breast-feeding (seriously, this is what the book Phillies Essential says!). He was signed in 1964 as an amateur free agent by the New York Mets.
Tug pitched for the Mets from 1965 to 1974. In December of 1974, he was traded, along with Don Hahn and Dave Schneck, to the Phillies, in exchange for Del Unser, John Stearns, and Mac Scarce. He pitched for the Phillies from 1975 through 1984. Twice in his career he was named to the All-Star team, in 1972 and 1975.
With the Phillies, Tug had a record of 49-37, with 94 saves and an ERA of 3.10. His overall career record was 96-92, with 180 saves and an ERA of 3.14.
Tug made the postseason twice with the Mets (1969 and 1973), and he coined the phrase "Ya Gotta Believe" while with the '73 Mets. He made the postseason four times with the Phillies (1976, 1977, 1978, 1980), and of course clinched the final game of the 1980 Series for the Phillies.
This is the image of McGraw that is forever etched into the minds of Phillies fans, after he struck out Kansas City's Willie Wilson for the final out of the 1980 World Series:
Tug was also well-known for his colorful quotes and fun-loving antics. When asked if he preferred artificial turf to natural grass, he replied "I don't know. I never smoked AstroTurf." On another occasion, he asked Phils starter Larry Christenson if he was pitching that day. When Christenson replied that he was, Tug said, "Then, so am I."
On St. Patrick's Day, the Phillies wear not just green caps for their spring training game, but green uniforms. Blame McGraw for this tradition, who appeared at a spring training game on St. Patrick's day wearing a uniform that had been dyed green.
Tug also named his pitches. His fastball was "John Jameson", because "I like my Irish Whiskey hard and straight." His change-up was "Peggy Lee", because a hitter would swing and say, "Is that all there is?" [this is the title of a song by the singer Peggy Lee, for you young'uns out there] His sinker was the "Titanic", the "Bo Derek" "had a nice little tail on it", the "Cutty Sark" sailed, and a ball hit for a home run was the "Sinatra ball", symbolic of the song "Fly Me To The Moon."
Following his retirement from the game, Tug became a sportscaster, and wrote a children's book. He would also attend Phillies spring training as a special instructor. In 2002, I was fortunate enough to be at spring training, and witnessed the way Tug enjoyed interacting and joking with the fans. In this photo, someone has handed Tug a baseball card to sign, though it is from his Mets days. He showed the fans, and jokingly asked if he should sign it or not (he did).
During this same spring training, Tug signed the only thing I had with me, a nasty old batting practice ball I had managed to get. Tug almost always signed his name with a little smiley-face next to it (though this one only seems to have one eye):
Yep, he's left his mark for posterity between Marlon Anderson and an upside-down Doug Glanville.
Tug was again in the Phillies' training camp the next spring, 2003, when he unexpectedly became ill, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which turned out to be malignant. At the time, he was only given a few weeks to live, but he fought his disease and was able to appear at the final game at Veterans Stadium on September 28, to re-enact his most memorable moment. Tug lost his battle with cancer on January 5, 2004.
Prior to his death, Tug established The Tug McGraw Foundation, to raise funds to enhance the quality of life of children and adults with brain tumors and their families.
On October 25, 2008, Tug's son Tim McGraw spread some of his father's ashes on the pitcher's mound at Citizen's Bank Park, prior to Game 3 of the World Series.
One of Tim McGraw's biggest hits is "Live Like You Were Dying". Towards the end of the song is a little clip of Tug's final out of that 1980 series.

Vim [vim.org].
2. what text editor you would use instead if the one you use did not exist
I assume that if Vim didn't exist something like it would have to be invented, so I'd probably be using that one. Assuming just one of the existing ones, probably Emacs.
3. what factor separates the two
The most important factor is that I'm used to Vim and know my way around. I don't have any practice with Emacs and I don't feel there's a need for that. Vim suits all my needs. Er... for te
1. what text editor you use
On windows, Textpad. On FreeBSD, Pico.
2. what text editor you would use instead if the one you use did not exist
On windows, UltraEdit. On FreeBSD, edit.
3. what factor separates the two
I've never liked the UltraEdit interface. It looked out of place and had way to much stuff.
On FreeBSD, I'm a sinner. I've never ever liked vi/emacs. Just give me something simple to do the job. Unless of course I'm in KDE, then all bets are off.
http://www.jedit.org/ [jedit.org], believe it or not -- it's fast, I like the customizability of the syntax highlighting, shortcuts, etc. The PerlBrowse plugin is worth its weight, though I know there's a better solution out there. EPIC for Eclipse is way too slow.
What would I use otherwise?
Emacs probably. I use jed in console mode generally. It's lack of a tab-based interface is my main gripe with Emacs.
2.) what text editor you would use instead if the one you use did not exist
Probably pico, but maybe emacs
3.) what factor separates the two
Despite the modal interface I find that Vim is simpler than emacs and much more powerful than pico. For the types of things I do on an everyday basis, Vim works well. Pico is a possible alternative because it is dead simple and I learned the keystrokes while using Pine over period of several years. In fact, Vim was my alternate
On Linux I mostly use GNU Nano (or Pico), I use vi now and then as it's common on *nix. On Cygwin/Windows I use Nano agin. On plain Windows I use PFE.
My second editor on Linux would be Kate, it's nice and simple, but has enough features to be useful. I loath vi, but I'm trying to learn it so it is my other second application. On Windows I've used TextPad, which is okay.
I mosty use nano/pico because they run in a console, which gives them an edge over a GUI application. I suppose if nano/pico didn't exis
What text editor you use?
I configured Firefox to let me use h j k l for scrolling.
What text editor you would use instead if the one you use did not exist?
Escape Meta Alt Control Shift.
What factor separates the two?
I hate chords. I like modes. I like not having to carry my dotfile around to function productively.
But a programmable heavy lifting tool for text manipulation which can run in a console is a must. (I run gvim most of the time, because it's nicer

why can't we learn this at school? ._.
So true man. xD
Yea -.-
Where's the link?? I need it.
I have done this and it ROCKS HER WORLD!! Once you figure this out you will be the "Go To" man! Use with caution... once you give her this she will likely want to keep you to herself! Yes her eyes will roll back but its only temporary! She will have a hard time getting up for a few min. as well. I love doing this for her. Its as good as having my own orgasm!
You made me feel more anxious to try it with my GF!! ;DD
where is the link???
I can have multiple clit orgasms and vaginal orgasms and I taiught myself to squirt reading info on a christain website of all places. It's awesome. But sucks that I am so sexual yet forever alone lol
I'm a twin dad, and would be happy to help you with your problem of being alone.
I wish you would come over and show me then
Wow, I am going to cut my nails cause after watching this educational video I finally discovered what I was looking for. I'm going to treat my pussy the way she deserves to be threated, and after that I will ask this instructor to use me as a model to redo this video again, again and again ahhhhh
I´m going to surprise my girlfriend when she gets home ^^ I´m new whit tihs lesbian thing so this was PERFECT for my selfastim.. //girl from Sweden =)
Thank notes from this GOD guys

Chris Angel wanna be?
Lmfao "mind freak"
Can I meet you???
OK, now THAT was great. I'm a woman and I didn't even know half that stuff. Bravo!
this man is a god
If this dude was able to find the g-spot, he wouldn't be using a fake vagina for demonstration purposes...
hair cut no way he is hot. love long hair on man.and good to see man talking about and knowing about the g spot.....he would for sure rock your socks off......
I just tried this on myself and it felt amazing. I couldn't stop saying omg for legit 5 minutes and I couldn't stop shaking.
This guy has some good advice but is factually incorrect in some of the things he says, eg. women can have multiple clitoral orgasms. Also, these clitoral orgasms are not just localised. I have given women multiple clit orgasms where they end up with a headache because of the intensity, legs and abdomen shaking, flailing arms etc. If that's not a body orgasm I'm a dog's Uncle.
Man i wish he can do me now
Wow, this guy is incredible - I had to play with my pussy to test it out
You can do it on me:D I am so horny'!
i will ; 0
Um where is the linq Bellow ?
you finger silicone pussys alot?
I tried this with my girl and i got blasted OMG oh and @john if ur 65 go get ur wife and fuck her not mastur bate to a screen
i have been married for 12 years and had been doing this for a long time without realising it was the g spot. it does feel exactly like that inside and makes us both feel wonerful. just got a big smile on my face.thank you from the bottom of my heart

Now I did not know how to do that as all I have been doing for the past 17 years since the start of sex is just to have it with a woman without what he was mentioning so the next time I am gonna have it with my woman when I finally meet her is sexually arouse her by doing them simple steps from what he was saying
Thanks 4 everithing man
He sounds like Jon lajoie, thanks for the pointers too man.
great video, thanks man
is goooooooooooooooooooooood
This method really does work! It has worked for me many times before without fail. And EVERY woman CAN squirt, just for some it is harder. Many factors come into play to make this possible. I cant stress enough: Ladies: try it on yourself first and get a feel for it. If you dont squirt right away-keep trying, it WILL happen. Also, going solo the first few times helps you to truly believe that the sudden urge to urinate DOESNT mean that your going to pee on yourself or your partner. Build up your confidence alone-try it in the tub if youre worried about actually peeing- then teach your man and live happily ever after. Good Luck! :)
pretty sure he fucked that plastic vagina right after making this video
Wow, this guy is a genius. I think all guys should watch this........
I have to show my girlfriend this she will fucking love me after this ;D
Share this with your friends, the whole world needs to know this. I know only one guy who is able to give me the most amazing orgasms with this technique - and I am addicted to him. I'd do anything for him, as long as he doesn't stop pleasuring me like that. SHARE!
where is the link pls help me out
My man knows how to satisfy me...mmmm. Over and over and over again...and believe me, that's a fair effort. It's usually VERY hard to achieve.
Where can I get your dvd
wow this guy know what hes on about i tried it and osgamd 4 times girls share this
When i have anal sex with my wife, she has an orgasm. What kind is that?
Do you wanna married me? :) kidding
i came here cause that fcking gspot is hard to find. let me go try it out brb
I love this guy! Why can't there be more men like him?
well, done.
Made my girl go crazy!!!
good video but where is the link???
hey sandra i can fuck u good and be sure u will get a nice orgasm. and i am good at using my fingers.
wow grest video, but now i need a guy who can help me to get such an orgasm. i like to feel that, but there was no man before, who can give me such an feeling when squirting:( help me:(
wow great. things i didnt know before about my body... and damn he is sooooooooooo sexy. he should do what he explains to me!
He will be inside of the pussy waiting
it works dne it wi my gf n she loved it :) x
Waw....I did it...!!! it was really unexpected surprise for my wife...She always ask for more and more...hohoho...thanks bro...I love you....!!!
better he is remove his pant and take his his gun for his finger
Just greta dna professional!!. Unexpected!
its a very good and helpful information..
I've tried so hard now. I can't make it work! :(
ive been trying this for a few years now and I find myself squirting but no orgasm follows it. I dont know what Im doing wrong but im getting really frustrated
His method is very basic as compared to what it is out there. By applying his technique, a woman may experience a G-Spot orgasm but not neccessarily have a squirting orgasm. In order to reach squirting orgasm, although it is possible for every woman, you need to learn how to strengthen your PC muscle. That requires dedication and work. However, once you master it, then a new world of sextual satisfaction will be opened to you. There is a book called "Female Ejaculation" written by Somraj Pokras and Dr. Jeffre Talltrees. It is an excellent source for all those who wish to master the art of female ejaculation and significantly enhance their sextual pleasure.

Norwich Blockbuster store to close, but Gorleston and Lowestoft outlets are safe - for now
PUBLISHED: 17:28 13 February 2013 | UPDATED: 17:28 13 February 2013
Bosses of the Blockbuster DVD and games rental chain yesterday announced that its Norwich store in Dereham Road is to close as part of a fresh round of closures involving a further 164 stores.
Administrators Deloitte made the announcment yesterday adding that around 800 jobs would be threatened by the closures on top of the 168 shops it had previously announced, including its outlet in Bowthorpe and two others in Thetford and Fakenham.
However its stores in Gorleston and Lowestoft still remain open.
The Norwich store closure is likely to affect around five jobs and Deloitte said the store would close "in the coming weeks".
Blockbuster collapsed last month amid competition from internet firms and the digital streaming of movies and games.
Deloitte said that staff affected would be facing redundancy and it had set up a helpline and support e to help them find other jobs.
Joint administrator Lee Manning said: "We have continued to review the performance of individual stores since our appointment a month ago and have concluded that further closures are necessary in order to restructure the company for sale."
Customers will be notified in advance of the closure so that they can return their outstanding rental items beforehand. The standard rental terms and conditions remain in place during this time.
Blockbuster struggled to adapt to the changing market and rivalry from internet retailers including Netflix, Amazon's LoveFilm and iTunes, which now offers a movie rental service.
The devastating impact of the internet on Britain's high street had already been laid bare with the demise of camera chain Jessops and electricals group Comet, which also cited competition from online players as a major reason for their downfall.

Court records show Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli have each filed divorce petitions in Los Angeles.
The filings Wednesday afternoon come two weeks after the former couple announced they planned to end their marriage of nearly11 years.
The pair are parents to three children and are seeking joint custody.
Garth rose to fame in the 1990s TV series "Beverly Hills, 90210" and appeared in the 2008-10 sequel. Facinelli is a co-star in the "Twilight" movie franchise. The couple married in January 2001.
Garth competed in "Dancing With the Stars" in 2007, with Facinelli applauding her from the audience.
The filings were first reported Wednesday by celebrity website TMZ.

A Marin Academy High School graduate who grew up in Novato was one of the people injured in the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon and now friends and family are raising money to help pay medical bills.
Liza Cherney, 29, was at her first Boston Marathon cheering on a fellow Boston College business school classmate who was running to raise money for charity. As she waited near the finish line, the first bomb went off, sending shrapnel into the leg of Cherney.
In the aftermath she was whisked to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital where she underwent four surgeries for her injuries.
She was forced to spend her birthday in the hospital, but her spirits were buoyed when she was paid a visit by several members of the Boston Red Sox baseball team on the day.
She was released last week and is recovering from her injuries.
"We are very fortunate the injuries weren't worse," the Cherney family said in a statement given to the Independent Journal. "We are grateful for the care she received at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital. We are still very concerned about the other families who have suffered."
Close friends have established www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/l582/helpforliza to help pay for out-of-pocket costs associated with Cherney's medical expenses and rehabilitation.
Cherney attended Marin Academy in San Rafael from 1998 until 2002. She was involved in community service during her middle and high school careers.
While in high school she volunteered with the "Making Waves After School Program" at Coleman Elementary in San Rafael. The program is designed to prepare elementary school students who face limited educational opportunities to be successful academically.
She also was elected co-leader of the Community Service Coordinator Group at Marin Academy and helped students implement community projects. She involved more than 40 Marin Academy students as volunteer tutors while at the school.
She attended the University of Southern California where she earned a bachelors and masters degrees in gerontology. While at the university, Cherney raised $1,200 for St. Jude hospitals and mentored 35 at-risk youth.
She is now attending Boston College's Carroll School of Management and expects to graduate with her masters in business administration this year.

Gonadotropin releasing hormone signaling
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the first key
hormone of reproduction in vertebrates. GnRH is released
from the hypothalamus in a pulsatile manner and stimulates pituitary gonadotropes to
synthesize and release Luteinizing hormone beta (LH-beta)
and Follicle stimulating hormone, beta polypeptide
(FSH-beta). The gonadotropins
(LH-beta and FSH-beta)
stimulate sex hormone production and gametogenesis. GnRH
regulates the hypothalamo-pituitary axis [1], [2].
The binding of GnRH to Gonadotropin-releasing hormone
receptor (GnRHR) is a critical factor for receptor
activation, initiation and propagation of intracellular signaling.
GnRHR is a G-protein coupled receptor.
GnRHR interacts with multiple G-proteins such as
G-protein alpha-q/11 and G-protein alpha-s
[3], [4], [5].
G-protein alpha-q/11 activated by the
GnRHR stimulates Ca2+-independent of Phospholipase C beta
(PLC beta). PLC beta cleaves
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (Ptdins(4,5)P2) to
generate Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and
Diacylglycerol (DAG) [6], [7].
DAG and IP3 stimulate Protein
kinase C, type delta (PKC-delta) and epsilon
(PKC-epsilon) and mobilize intracellular Ca2+,
respectively [6], [8], [9].
GnRH stimulates rapid Ca2+
mobilization from internal IP3-sensitive stores, followed by
external Ca2+ influx via nifedipine-sensitive L-type
voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels (L-type Ca(II) channel, alpha 1C
subunit) [2], [10].
The PKC-delta and
PKC-epsilon are then able to bind to and activate V-raf-1
murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 (c-Raf-1)/
Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 and 2 (MEK1
and MEK1)/
Mitogen activated protein kinases 3 and 1 (Erk (MAPK1/3))
cascade [11], [12]. In addition, Erk
(MAPK1/3) activation is partially dependent on Proto-oncogene
tyrosine-protein kinase (c-Src)/ v-Ha-ras Harvey rat
sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (H-Ras) cascade in
Dynamin-dependent manner [12], [13]. Erk (MAPK1/3) also activated by PTK2B protein
tyrosine kinase 2 beta (Pyk2(FAK2))/ c-Src
/ Growth factor receptor bound protein 2
(Grb2)/ Son of sevenless homolog
(SOS)/ H-Ras/
c-Raf-1 pathway. Pyk2(FAK2) probably
activated by c-Src [14]. Erk
(MAPK1/3) activated by GnRH subsequently
phosphorylates ELK1 member of ETS oncogene family (Elk-1).
Elk-1 regulates expression of Early growth response 1
(EGR1) [15] and FBJ osteosarcoma oncogene
(c-Fos) [16].
GnRH stimulates expression of Dual specificity
phosphatase 1 and 2 (MKP-1 and
MKP-2). GnRH
activates MKP-2 most likely through Erk
EGR1 pathway. MKP-1 and
MKP-2 serve as negative feedback regulators that modulate
Erk (MAPK1/3) and JNK activity
GnRH stimulates Mitogen-activated protein kinases
(JNK(MAPK8-10)) activity by a pathway that includes
sequential activation of PKC-epsilon /
c-Src/ Cell division cycle 42
(CDC42)/ Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1
(MEKK1) [18]. Activated
JNK phosphorylates jun oncogene (c-Jun),
thereby regulate expression of Secretogranin II [19], LH-beta [20], Activating
transcription factor 3 (ATF-3) and Glycoprotein hormone
alpha-subunit gene promoter (CG alpha) [21]. In
addition, ATF-3 stimulates expression of CG
alpha [21], Secretogranin II
[19] and inhibits expression of
Secretogranin 1 [22].
Furthermore, MEKK1 can activate Mitogen-activated protein
kinase p38 (most likely p38alpha
(MAPK14)) [23]. p38 and
Erk (MAPK1/3) can regulate Adenylate cyclase activating
polypeptide 1 (PACAP), FSH-beta
and GnRHR transcription via activation of
Activator protein-1 (AP-1) factors [24], [25], [26]. p38 phosphorylates
EGR1 [14]. Erk
(MAPK1/3) and Protein kinase A
(PKA) also activate
EGR1 through activation cAMP responsive element binding
protein (CREB1) and Elk-1
[15]. EGR1 regulates
expression of PER1 [27],
ATF-3, Secretogranin 1 [22] and LH-beta [28]
GnRH also activates Activating transcription factor 2
(ATF-2) probably through p38
and Erk (MAPK1/3), thus regulating
expression of ATF-3 [22].
Activation of G-protein alpha-s further activates the
Adenylate cyclase / Cyclic adenosine monophosphate
(cAMP)/ PKA/ CREB1 [29]. In addition, Ca2+ (via intermediate, presumably -
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II)
activates CREB1. CREB1 also
activated by PKC / MEK1/2/
ERK1/2/ Ribosomal protein S6 kinase
(p90RSK) cascade [30]. CREB1
regulates expression of
Secretogranin II [19], [29], Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1
(Nur77) [31],
LH-beta, FSH-beta [32], Follistatin [33], ATF-3 [22],
PACAP [26] and EGR1
[15]. Nur77 activated by
cAMP/ PKA regulates expression of
FSH-beta [31], [34].
Moreover, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I (CaMK
I) activates Myocyte enhancer factor 2D
(MEF2D) by phosphorylation of Histone deacetylase 5 and 4
(HDAC5 and HDAC4).
MEF2D regulates expression of
FSH-beta [34].

YMCA; War-Zone Home for Our Boys "Overthere;" Always at the Service of our Brave Troops; If our boys, tired and mud-stained, could only knock at your door tonight, how wonderfully you would minister to them. With what eagerness you would comfort them. You would do this in your homes. Help the Y.M.C.A. to do this for you in the camps and right up to the firing line––where you cannot go. Millions of enlisted men have felt the home touch of the Y.M.C.A. Millions have written letters, played ames, read, enjoyed entertainment at the Sign of the Red Triangle. Millions have thanked God for the warm, friendly Y.M.C.A. as a relief from the cold, lonesome camp and trench life. But it takes millions of dollars to provide these vital home ties. And it takes heroic giving. $35,000,000 at least needed to carry on this Y.M.C.A. work here and overseas to July 1, 1918. The task is colossal. Your support must be generous.; $12,500 Will Provide a Hut for a Year.; $6,000 Will Build 1 Hut in America (Cost of Hut in France, $15,000).; $1,500 Will Equip a Hut.; $1,000 Will Provide 1 Auto Truck.; $500 Will Provide 25,000 Testaments.; $250 Will Provide Motion Picture Outfit.; $100 Will Provide Stationery a Month for a Hut.; $50 Will Provide Talking Machine and Records.; Sacrifice to Give––Today!––a Part of the Required $35,000,000; Help Keep These Home Fires Burning; Some are Giving Thousands; Thousands are Giving Something; Let's All Do a Super-Bit Now!; Send your contribution to your Y.M.C.A.
