•One night after
they go head-to-head in the 200m freestyle, Allison Schmitt
and Missy Franklin team up to lead the U.S. in the 4x200m
freestyle relay, hoping to reclaim the event from Australia after
losing in Beijing for the first time since it was added to the
Olympic program in 1996. In the men's 100m freestyle, top American
and former Cal standout Nathan Adrian will try to knock off
favorite James Magnussen, the brash new leader of Australian
swimming, while Auburn-trained Brazilian star Cesar Cielo is
also among a deep international field. Japan's Kosuke Kitajima,
already the greatest breaststroker of all time, is hoping to complete
a third straight sweep of the 100m and 200m breaststroke events as he
takes on the longer race. In semifinal action, Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte hit the water for the 200m individual medley,
while Lochte pulls double-duty in the 200m backstroke.
•In gymnastics, another Japanese legend, triple world champion Kohei Uchimura, looks to cement his status as one of the greatest gymnasts of all-time by winning the Olympic gold he came one place short of four years ago as a 19-year-old in Beijing. Attempting to stand in his way should be two Americans from unlikely backgrounds: Bronx native John Orozco, the 19-year-old son of a former New York Sanitation Department crew supervisor, and Cuban-born Danell Leyva, whose skillful routines are accompanied by the hyper-animated reactions of his coach and stepfather Yin Alvarez.
•Beach volleyball, one of the Games' hottest sports, continues at Horse Guards Parade in the heart of ceremonial London. Just down the road from the Queen's home at Buckingham Palace, the Queens of the sand, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings, are eyeing a golden three-peat after sweeping the competition in Athens and Beijing without dropping a set.
•In the men's synchronized springboard, diving's odd couple looks to continue its winning ways and help the U.S. onto the medal stand. Separated by 13 years and 1,700 miles, four-time Olympian Troy Dumais and Stanford freshman Kristian Ipsen won world silver in 2009 just months after they began training together.

Tonight they're expected to go toe-to-toe with a pair of talented Russian rivals, Aliya Mustafina and Viktoria Komova.
•Thursday is the 200m individual medley, Round 2 of Michael Phelps vs. Ryan Lochte. Phelps is the reigning Olympic champion and Lochte is the reigning world champion and current world record holder. Phelps nipped Lochte by less than a tenth of a second at trials. It will be part of a very busy night for Lochte, who is favored for gold in the 200m backstroke that begins just 30 minutes before his clash with Phelps. For Lochte, who turns 28 the following day, there would be no better birthday present than a pair of gold medals. Meanwhile, swimming's new sensation, 17-year-old Missy Franklin, dives in for the 100m freestyle, the fifth of seven events on her ambitious Olympic program. In the 200m breaststroke, Rebecca Soni is the reigning Olympic and world champion, and she has a chance to here to complete the first women's breaststroke sweep in 16 years.

The budget bill for 2017, as presented to the Swedish parliament (Riksdagen) last week, reflects an agreement between the formal coalition governing parties (the Social Democrat and Green parties) and the Left Party. In general, the budget primarily focuses on social issues (welfare, jobs, accommodating refugees, gender equality, etc.), and it contains very few reforms in the corporate tax area, except for some changes affecting taxation in the energy sector. There is also a focus on efforts to counter tax evasion and tax avoidance.
Among the corporate tax proposals in the budget for 2017 are the following measures that generally would be effective beginning in 2017.

Everyone knows about the stress that students of forms go through. There are many that bear the strain and get through, some who go up,down,back,and forth motivation wise; Then there are those that break down completely, and either get depressed beyond all help, or lash out inducing physical harm to themselves, or others. The truth of the matter is that some people are truly crazy. I understand how this may sound harsh or rude to some, but it must be said.
Many times post horrific tragedy, the authorities investigate why this happened. This so they can have a better understanding of the cycle people go through to reach murderous ends towards themselves and others. Well, in many of the investigations authorities find that there were slight hints and events that engaged thoughts of murder.
For instance look at the columbine incident, the two boys were caught by their parents .with explosives and gun barrel sights. The family found the video of them practicing right out in the open of one of the two boys. Another example, the Virginia Tech shooting, the man involved with that stopped talking to everyone, and sent a hate note to his own parents.
To me these are all obvious signs that something is wrong. The fact that no one saw these signs astonishes me. I feel horrible for the families wronged and all the victims of the events I speak of, but in truth I think that both instances could have been stopped preemptively.
Tectonics in Italy0 comments Posted by onetruth at 6:34 AM
There was a massive earth quake in the the region of L'Aquila which is a city next to Rome. Today a 6.5 quake spread destruction and terror around the whole area. Tremors earlier could be felt, and many came out to see what was happening, as they watched many of their own buildings and structure crumbling apart in front of them.
There are estimates of up to ninety people killed, as well as hundreds missing. Rescue workers and the army are making an effort to get all civilians to safe places. Many reporters called the procession of people in the sleep wear and blankets refugees, these people have been gathered and taken care of at the red cross stations set up all around the suburbs of L'Aquila.
Italy sits on two of tectonic plates that cause earth quakes, these are not unheard of, but usually occur in the southern part of Italy.
What are tectonic plates, you ask...
Tectonic plates are large masses of land that basically float on the lava, or core of the earth. They are in constant motion and follow a set pattern in movement. As plates move they some time release massive amounts of energy causing an earth quake. These quakes and plate movement are key reasons for volcanoes, mountains, and basically the structure of the planet's landscape.
A fault line, or plane is mainly where an earth quake can be expected to occur. These are the unsupported parts of earth on the plate, they can sometime break apart or sink in. In Italy many buildings were destroyed because of this.
The plates were once all together hundreds of thousands of years ago. These plates have been in motion since then. We have come to understand much about geology and how the earth works, but there is much we do not understand.
In Lahore today a police academy on the outskirts of the city was taken by terrorists.this is an officer of the elite armed forces of Pakistan, right after taking back a police academy.
In the early morning while many of the young cadets and officers did their morning drill.
Terrorist suspected to be involved with al-queada threw grenades and rushed in the small fortress.
Pakistani forces came to drive the terrorist out.After ten to fifteen minutes of speratic gun fire and helicopter support. the academy was retaken. This comes weeks after Obama's pledge to root out terrorist from their safe zones in Afghanistan, as well as in Pakistan.
In this map(to the left) you can see where Lahore is as well as where the academy in question is. The space is more traveled than it looks. although it is very far from the city, many people use it to get back and forth from their villages.
Pakistan was made independent on the fifteenth of august, in 1947 by the British. You should know that the British had a monopoly of sorts on almost all of middle east. The reasons for this were oil, and quick travel to India and Australia. Pakistan was not made a country until after the second world war and the fall of the ottoman empire(an empire ruled by Turks and Kurds). Where it became a mandate state of Britain. Pakistan was added to Iraq and Kuwait. The Pakistani people were very empowered to make their own government and rules of state. The problem was that many of the British influences were made directly. Meaning there were "Brits"
in office actually ruling and making decisions, later they saw that this form of ruling would not work and started to appoint people from Pakistan to rule over their own people. The British still had an influence of indirect controlled because they were funding so much of Pakistan's economy and infrastructure.
Now the country of Pakistan is running its own semi- democracy with some monarchical traits. The U.S is involved in rooting out the terrorism and having Pakistan as a great ali.
Iran Drones0 comments Posted by onetruth at 1:00 PM
In recent news we have heard of Obama getting some arguments and conflicts with Iran. Saying that the Iranians are tiered of the unman drones that come in and attack certain terrorist occupied areas. These drones are the new age of war fare. They can go as far as some maned jets can and destroy the enemy with no casualties. The air force as well as the navy and marines are using these new weapons to cause destruction and chaos in the enemies lines.
I have an interest in this technology because on of my friends is actually learning to fly and repair these machines of war. He has always been interested in this type of thing and I'm glad he is doing what he likes.
The Predator-qr is an awesome piece of equipment that can use the lower atmosphere orbit to stay in the sky up to three weeks. This allows our forces to take important pics and get enemy locations in seconds. With a small unmanned air craft in the air radar is virtually useless. Also the air craft is very quiet and small so hard to destroy , in the right hands can dish out a lot of trouble for the other side.
The reason I brought up Iran, because we are discussing about Iran in my history class. We were talking about the new and modern weapons that the Iranians had in 1975. The dangerous weapon of hostage taking. In 1975 the most unprecedented happened. Some Iranian students charged the American embassy and took all inside as hostages for four months. This was Americas first globally staged hostage situation.
The hostages were released and everything was resolved, but as we have seen and history has shown is that if you bring some new type of warfare to the equation you have a better chance at a better out come.

shots out in the dark0 comments Posted by onetruth at 6:50 PM
Yeah this week I really have absolutely have no idea what I'm going to write about. I mean really, I have no freaking clue. Have you ever had moments when you just totally space out, you have no what to do first so you get nothing done at all... Well I have that but it has lasted for three days, I bet it lasts the rest of the week too though.
When I get like this it is bad, cant finish work, nor can I effectively think or sleep. Its a real problem. I wonder if this will be a problem latter in life because if it is then my future boss is in for a horrible surprise.I mean if I get a week like this I most likely will be fired.
No I doubt that any of that will happen, I m just stalling so I can get this assignment done. Wow I haven't made any progress on this at all.
Oh... I got my camera fixed and had a new focal plane shutter put in. Its the shutter that sits right in front of the focal plane, or viewing area of the camera.

I usually listen to the news on t.v. and hear about whats going on in our country and around the world. I would call what I see on the television the worst pack of P.R. lies, pro government propaganda. Aside from that I found that the Internet net has a little more truth. One of my favorite sources of news is NPR(National Public Radio). They have many interesting stories as well as a streaming feed of news talks and podcast from all over the world. Tuesday after class I found that I could become a border police deputy if I so chose.
Virtual border patrol... that's right the United States of America is calling for you, to sit at your computer and watch one of about eleven cameras all along the border. When, or if you actually see someone you are to report this by email to an office in Texas that goes and investigates the problem.
This is our new solution to protecting our borders. I would call it minor vigilantism, if that's a word. Basically the government has put the protection of our borders in the hand s of anyone who wants to help. Yes there are still, regular police who handle these matters, but now they can have more eyes on more of the popular crossing sites of our border.
(By clicking the link you hear the the short podcast on the NPR website. )
While listening to the guest who called din on the program I was amazed... and I do mean truly amazed when he said" I enjoys sitting at my computer for hours at a time after work (he's a truck driver mind you) I don't think that it is in any form being a vigilant, but I think that I am helping to protect my country's borders.
While I sat there, wondered if any one else would do this another guest was on (chief patrol officer), he said that they once got an email that stated... "hey mate we've been watching the border for ya from the pub." These people were watching our border in Australia!
There are a couple of people that think that this is a total waste of money and time; especially in the state our economy is in, we need to stop wasting it on this. I guess this has the potential to be a good resource, but there would need to be some form of training I would suggest.
Just having random people on the Internet looking when ever they want is just a waste if time and money that, and as of now we cant afford to be wasting either. Some of the people working as virtual patrols believe that they are making a difference. I think that they are doing something good for their country yes, but my question would be is this really what we want our citizens to be doing in their spare time.
What do you think about this situation and new form of patrolling our nations borders?
Matt Kelley, a student in my dorm says " I think that it is sort of a good thing, because those people could be out there doing things themselves. " I think that he made a legitimate statement
there are those who take extremes and would be out there with there own arms trying to do the right thing the wrong way.
All in all this is both a waste of time and money, but there are also a few benefits. some of the vigilantist can be occupied with something that will keep them out the way.

NYSCF Internship Program
Each year, approximately ten diverse, high-achieving undergraduate and graduate students are selected to work in New York City as part of the NYSCF Summer Internship Program, or NYSCF University, a ten week unique summer enrichment internship program that provides students a rare glimpse into the fast-paced world of stem cell research, insight into life at an entrepreneurial nonprofit research institute, exposure to career opportunities in science, and connections to valuable professional and peer networks.
Participants have the opportunity to gain direct experience with stem cells and science through joining one of three program tracks – by conducting scientific research or computer science engineering at the NYSCF Research Institute or by joining one of the teams at the office headquarters, which range from scientific programs to communications and government relations to external affairs, among others.

Looks like it could be true.
Maryland Talking
$50 million exit fee? I don't see them paying that!
After the ACC got Pitt and 'Cuse?
I mean, I could see MD going Big East or something...Big10? Weird.
I doubt it happens but if the Big 10 offers, Maryland would be stupid not listen at the very least. There could be advantages for them to going to the Big 10.
The more I read the more likely it would seem this might happen. Lot more money and a wider national exposure for MD by moving to the Big 10. Think of it as a massive upgrade in terms of a football conference while not losing all that much in basketball (other than rivalries). Plank cashing in stock might be an indicator that their is a 50 million dollar fee but no wording that would prevent a "donor" from paying it. Plank would gladly pay the fee if it gets his foot in the Big 10 or he was given some consideration in return. Its all about the benjamins I guess. I would be excited by the move, grew up in Illinois as a Illini fan as a kid before moving here so I have some love for the Big 10. I can understand why others would not be as happy though. I do think though in a few years people would get over itQuote:
As all of you have heard by now the Maryland Terrapins are at the center of the conference realignment conversation again.
As first reported by InsideMDSports.com the rumors of Maryland potentially making the jump from the ACC to the Big 10 is looking more and more like a real possibility. Details on how this would all work due to the conference's new $50 million exit fee are not yet known but at this moment there are some things we do know…
The Board of Regents will be meeting Monday morning at 9:30 to discuss the possibility of leaving the league for more Midwestern pastures.
Kevin Plank, CEO of Under Armour and Maryland alumnus, reportedly cashed in $65 million in Under Armour stock earlier this week.
People in and around the Maryland athletic were less than pleased with the "sweetheart deal" that commissioner Swofford gave Notre Dame for partial membership.
Maryland was one of two schools, FSU being the other, to vote against the raised exit fee.
Clearly, we will know more as the week bores on but in the meantime this is where we currently stand with regard to the Big Ten news that's swept through Terp Nation this afternoon. As more becomes available we will have all your coverage here. Also, be on the lookout for a Zone read feature with our thoughts on the potential move.
This is ALL about money...basically the Big Ten charges 10 cent a customer in areas not in their footprint...it jumps all the way to 70 cents for areas in their footprint.
They don't want UMD for their sports obviously...they want them for the market. Same obviously goes for Rutgers.
Not to mention time to renegotiate their TV deal comes up in 4 years.
BTW...don't be surprised if you hear FSU and maybe another team leave the ACC sometime over the next year.
I think it's a pretty done deal that Rutgers will be the other team for the Big 10...this is not a move to get high quality football teams...it's a move to expand it's TV market footprint. Let's face it, if this was a move to get good football, UMD would never be on the short list.
This is the only explanation that makes sense to me -- when I heard this news, Maryland talking about going to the big ten, I was floored. It sounded crazy. I must be getting old, because I remember when college conferences used to make some geographical sense.Quote:

Locating himself far from the mainstream of even international art cinema, Pedro Costa is widely regarded as one of the most important artists on the international film scene. Born in 1959, he was already a successful filmmaker when he began to feel, on the set of his third feature Ossos (1997), that something was wrong with the normal way of making films: "We should rethink all of it," he thought. Jettisoning his professional crew, he made In Vanda's Room (2000), shot by a one-person crew on a consumer mini-DV camera in Lisbon's Fountainhas ghetto over the course a year.

Can we permanently delete the term "home stretch" in a festival context? All right then. In the NYFF's final week, the best fiction in the Main Slate is stronger (arguably) and more obscure (undoubtedly) than just about everything that has come before. Products of exceptional minds creating in different keys, these three gems (Horse Money, Jauja, Life of Riley) do share some elements that could make them off-putting for the passive viewer. All bets are off for anyone looking for the expected visual and aural cues. Each of these directors builds a self-contained universe with its own rules of engagement.

[Paul Dallas' first report can be read here.] Time wasted and time well spent — a ratio every festivalgoer has to work out when gambling on what to see and miss. At Locarno this year, one had to decide whether or not to devote five hours and forty minutes to a single competition film, the equivalent of four Italian classics from the wonderful Titanus retrospective. It wasn't easy when the former was Lav Diaz's From What Is Before, an early frontrunner and eventual winner of the Golden Leopard, and the latter all screened on 35mm — an increasingly powerful incentive […]by Paul Dallas on Aug 19, 2014

Jennifer Weiss, MD, MS
Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine - Gastroenterology
Jennifer Weiss, MD, MS is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine—Gastroenterology. Her research focuses on colorectal cancer screening for both average-risk and high-risk populations. Her research has involved a survey of primary care providers to further understand potential sources of variation in colorectal cancer screening rates. She is currently working with the UW Health Colon Cancer Prevention Initiative to develop and implement system-wide colorectal cancer screening interventions. She is interested in identifying patient, provider, and system barriers to colorectal cancer screening and determining if interventions targeted at these barriers are more successful and sustained over time compared to the current approach. Dr. Weiss is also interested in screening in high-risk patients with hereditary colon cancer syndromes such as Lynch Syndrome and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis.

The Chicago Blackhawks-Detroit Red Wings Western Conference Semifinals Game 7 is more proof why the NHL playoffs are the best of any sport. The game had every emotion known to man, but it was Chicago's fans that left with tears of happiness–and relief. Chicago won 2-1 in overtime and advanced to the Western Conference Finals against the Los Angeles Kings.
As the clock dwindled to 2:00 left in regulation, everyone knew the next goal could very well win the game. With 1:47 left, Niklas Hjalmarsson scored what appeared to be the winning goal for the Hawks.
But did he? The scorers erased the goal as quickly as they placed it on the board.
Behind the play, Detroit's Kyle Quincey and Chicago's Brandon Saad were wrapped around each other in front of the Detroit bench. Referee Stephen Walkom was not willing to allow these penalties to go and called off the goal to give both players coinciding roughing minor penalties. The arena and Twitter blew up. The consensus from non-Hawks reporters or fans is that it was a bad call. During intermission, NBC Sports Network analysts Mike Milbury and Keith Jones immediately agreed it was a terrible call. Milbury even suggested Walkom would redo the call if he could. But it did not matter. The game was headed to overtime.
It did not last long because Brent Seabrook's wrist shot sailed past Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard after hitting Detroit's Niklas Kronwell in the leg at the 3:35 mark in overtime. It was Seabrook's first goal of the playoffs and the arena was shaking from the fans erupting in cheers. The Hawks came back from being down 3-1 in the series to advance to the next round.
Kronwell went straight to his knee and Howard quickly skated over to him and the two shared an emotional embrace. One can only imagine what Howard told him, but Howard is a class act and more than likely was comforting him.
There was no scoring in the first period, but plenty of defense. Both teams were hungry and showed it. Usually in the playoffs, especially in a Game 7, the refs back off and allow the teams to play. Unless blood is drawn anything goes. The teams were hitting each other left and right and ended the period almost even on shots. Chicago got 13 shots on goal, while Detroit had 11. After the game Detroit head coach Mike Babcock said if it had been a regular season game there would have been a lot more penalties. The game was very physical.
The second period was even more intense with Chicago coming out ready to win. A 3-on-1 consisting of Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa, and Michal Handzus led to the first goal. Sharp gave it to Handzus, who passed it to Hossa. Hossa then passed it back to Sharp and he flipped it right past Howard to make it 1-0. It was the only goal of the period, but had it not been for Chicago goalie Corey Crawford the Red Wings could have easily taken complete control going into the third period. But Crawford managed to stop any turnover that came his way and keep the one goal lead.
Something happened in the Detroit locker room in the second intermission because 26 seconds into the third period Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg tied the game. They scattered the Hawks, which gave Detroit an easy 2-on-1 into the Hawks zone. Gustav Nyquist passed it to Zetterberg, who shot the puck past Crawford. 1-1. The goal quieted the United Center and fans watching on TV could almost hear the nail biting in the arena. Everything was so close and one little slipup could cost either team the game and series.
Now it is time to start the conference finals. Chicago will host the L.A. Kings on Saturday at 5PM EDT on NBC Sports Network. The Pittsburgh Penguins host the Boston Bruins on Saturday at 8PM EDT on NBC.
The four remaining teams are also the last four teams that won the Stanley Cup: Pittsburgh (2009), Chicago (2010), Boston (2011), and Los Angeles (2012).

Once upon a time, during a family dinner, my brother asked "which foods would you not be able to live without?"
I immediately answered, "bread." I would not be able to live without bread, no way. Bread is the best food in the world. Covered in butter, toasted with jam, dipped in oil and vinegar. My favourite was golden flax bread from Stonemill Bakehouse, and if I went to a restaurant, I could polish off an entire basket of bread by myself.
A couple of years ago, I was talking to a friend, and she told me she could no longer eat bread or dairy. NO BREAD OR DAIRY? This was the first I'd heard about celiac disease. I expressed my deepest sympathies and thought to myself: "if I couldn't eat bread and dairy, I would LITERALLY DIE because that would be the worst."
It's amazing how we can adapt when we need to.
I stopped eating gluten last May. I remember getting a phone call from my boyfriend sometime during the first week. He was at the grocery store near work, and he said, "I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I found gluten-free bread! The bad news is it's as hard as a rock and it expires in October."
No thanks.
I have found a couple of local bakeries that make good bread, but I've realized I don't actually miss it all that much, and I rarely buy it. I hardly flinch when they put the basket of bread in front of me at restaurants (they always put it in front of me). I don't get mad when we visit my boyfriend's parents and everyone eats crazy bread in front of me. I even choose to eat burgers with a fork, even though I've found a company that makes delicious gluten-free buns.
So it turns out I won't actually die from lack of bread. Amazing!
That being said, my mom got me a gorgeous Emile Henry ceramic loaf pan for Christmas, and I bought a KitchenAid mixer from Amazon during Boxing Week sales (it was 60% off! and I had gift cards! it only cost me around $40!), so I've been wanting to bake bread. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!
I spent ages trying to find a recipe, but all of the ones I found were for a bread maker, or they were flavoured (like pumpkin cranberry), or they used about 40 ingredients I don't have, and I wanted to make something basic. I ended up finding a recipe on the celiac.com forums and thought it looked pretty good (read: simple). I'm not generally a huge fan of bread made from rice flour, but this was an experiment, not a Food Network competition (that's a thing, right?).
Moments of panic during the bread-making process:
- "It doesn't say which attachment to use for the mixer! Do I use the regular beater or the dough hook?! AHHHHH!"
- "It says to let the yeast proof for 15 minutes but it's taking me longer than that to do the next step! What if it's sitting for too long?! AHHHHH!"
- "The recipe doesn't say what kind of oil to use! AHHHHH!"
- "Where am I supposed to put the bread to let it rise?! AHHHHH!"
- "The recipe doesn't say which size pan to use! What if mine is the wrong size?! AHHHHH!"
I was excited to see the bread rise. Bread is so cool. I love science.
I forced myself not to peek in the oven until the timer went off. When it did, I saw this:
Holy crap! Could this be a success?!
Yep, that looks like bread. Magic!
Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Sandwich Bread Recipe
- 1 Tbsp yeast
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 3/4 cup white rice flour
- 3/4 cup brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup potato starch
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 Tbsp oil (I used grapeseed oil)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Mix yeast, sugar and water in a small bowl. Let it rise for 15-20 minutes. You should have at least 1 1/2 inch of foam on top of the water.
- In a large bowl, whisk all of the dry ingredients together.
- Put eggs, oil and vinegar in the stand mixer bowl and mix for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture is creamy.
- Add proofed yeast and all dry ingredients into egg mixture. Mix for 4-5 minutes with the dough hook attachment, scraping the sides at least once with a spatula.
- Line your bread pan with parchment paper. Using a spatula, scoop the dough into the pan and shape into a loaf. Let it rise for 50-60 minutes, or until the dough reaches the top of the pan. At some point during this time, preheat your oven to 375F.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes. Let it cool for 20-30 minutes before slicing.
Verdict: Not bad! It has a strong rice flavour that I don't like, but it's good covered in Earth Balance, especially fresh out of the oven. It's really, really soft with a nice crunchy crust. I'm interested to see how long it lasts over the next few days.
Yay! I don't need to use my "kitchen failures" tag!

Every Bride Needs a Groom by Janice Thompson
Tuesday, April 28, 2015
Small-town girl Katie Fisher is planning her wedding. Sure, her boyfriend hasn't managed to pop the question just yet, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't enter a contest in Texas Bride magazine to win the dress of her dreams, right? But when her boyfriend breaks up with her and takes a job in another town--the very same day Katie wins her dream dress--her world is turned upside down. Should she claim her prize? And will the hunky former pro-basketball player who runs the swanky Dallas bridal shop--yeah, you read that right--catch on to her humiliation if she does?
Janice Thompson designs a romance sure to delight, with plenty of fish-out-of-water moments, a hilarious supporting cast, and more of the wedding biz world her readers adore.
Janice has out done herself with her new book, Every Bride Needs a Groom, which is the first book in her new series A Bride With Style. The cast of characters could be anyone in your own family. An eccentric grandmother, Queenie, a cousin whose husband couldn't find his way out of a paper bag, and Katie the heroine who wants to tell the truth about her "engagement" but is afraid to say anything for fear someone's feelings may be hurt. And all Katie did was enter an essay contest to win a wedding gown.
I laughed out loud as I read this book, it is one of my favorites and I know I will re-read it!

Surf's Up (GBA/NDS/PS2/Wii/PS3/X360/PC)
"The Surf's Up video game expands on the movie experience and recreates the Surf's Up universe in a fun, extreme sports surfing competition,? said Tony Key, vice president of marketing for Ubisoft. "Players will take to the waves and relive the movie through an exciting surf adventure in which they can execute over-the-top, arcade-style surf tricks while shredding intense 3D waves in action-packed surf locales. Players can become surf legends in the Surf's Up game.?
Surf's Up is an animated action-comedy that delves behind the scenes of the high-octane world of competitive surfing. The film profiles teenage Rockhopper penguin Cody Maverick (Shia LaBeouf), an up-and-coming surfer, as he enters his first pro competition. Followed by a camera crew to document his experiences, Cody leaves his family and home in Shiverpool, Antarctica, to travel to Pen Gu Island for the Big Z Memorial Surf-Off. Along the way, Cody meets Sheboygan surfer Chicken Joe (Jon Heder), famous surf promoter Reggie Belafonte (James Woods), surf talent scout Mikey Abromowitz (Mario Cantone) and spirited lifeguard Lani Aliikai (Zooey Deschanel), all of whom recognize Cody's passion for surfing, even if it's a bit misguided at times. Cody believes that winning will bring him the admiration and respect he desires, but when he unexpectedly comes face-to-face with a washed-up old surfer (Jeff Bridges), Cody begins to find his own way, and discovers that a true winner isn't always the one who comes in first.
Surf's Up is an exciting arcade surfing and extreme sports video game. The action is set at the annual Reggie Belafonte Big Z Memorial Surf-Off, where surfers from around the world are ready to risk it all for glory. Players will experience the rush and thrills of surfing in exotic surf spots around Pen Gu Island and can rip it up and play as one of 10 characters from the film, including Cody, the young challenger from Shiverpool; Tank, the merciless champion; or Big Z, the surfing legend from the past.

Posted on 02/05/2013 9:12:41 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
The founder of the controversial Ground Zero Mosque allegedly spent more than $3 million that had been donated to charity to fund a first-class lifestyle that involved 'lavish trips, luxury sports cars and personal real estate.'
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf was slapped with a $20 million lawsuit by, Robert Leslie Deak, a major backer to his nonprofit who alleges the wild spending in the papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Rauf's charity, the Cordoba Initiative, received $3 million from the Malaysian as well as another $167,000 from private donors. That money was meant to counter anti-Islamic sentiment but instead went to Rauf's private life, the lawsuit alleges.
Deak also claims that Rauf 'falsified' the nonprofits 'tax returns for 2008, 2009 and 2010 by failing to report receipt of funds from foreign sources and transfers of funds.'
Rauf's lawyer adamantly denied the allegations, the New York Post reported.
'He's going to vigorously defend them and show that it has no basis,' the lawyer, Paul Knight, said of his client.Rauf served as the Imam of the Ground Zero Mosque until being ousted in January 2011...

Didn't Raug travel to various places on behalf of the president as an ambasador at large a couple of years ago?
seems to me he went to Egypt and some other places during the controversical start up of the 911 mosque called the cordoba mosque. anybody remember?
Should be Rauf, must start to use spell check
Shouldn't this be tried in a Sharia court?
Rauf's charity, the Cordoba Initiative, received $3 million from the Malaysian as well as another $167,000 from private donors. That money was meant to counter anti-Islamic sentiment but instead went to Rauf's private life, the lawsuit alleges.
Malaysia money been going into the Clinton Foundation too.... wonder if it's from the same individual

In as little as 12 minutes a day, you can tighten your tummy, arms, butt and thighs.
Victoria, British Columbia (PRWEB) May 30, 2013
As she strolls through her local gym, Kyla directs our attention to the long line of men and women on the latest cardio gadgets and says, "Does any of that look like fun to you? Most of them have been bored out of their minds for the last 40 minutes, with no idea they could be doing a fun workout routine which produces dramatically better results in a quarter of the time."
As we glance down the long line of what appear to be cardio robots, we see some very cherry red faces with glazed eyes fixed like glue on a TV monitor overhead, hoping it will somehow make the time go by faster. What they fail to realize is this type of workout routine is not only painfully boring, but it could be keeping them fat.
The metabolism is what essentially determines how much energy a body uses on a day to day basis at rest. Those who have a fast metabolism tend to burn fuel quickly, even if they aren't all that active, while those who have a much slower metabolism burn fuel sluggishly, often suffering from weight problems as a result. A faster metabolic rate makes it easier it to lose weight since the body will burn more fat at rest – even while sleeping.
"I know what you're thinking...Thanks Tips! Nothing new here," laughs Gagnon.
How about a short workout routine that produces better than double the results in a quarter of the time. "When you push your body such as you will do during our short but high intensity exercise sessions, you are taking it out of its comfort zone and will cause a process called EPOC to occur, which is the foundation for our patently unique A2X Xcelerate Effect." states Gagon, who's appearance is exactly as one might think it should be from participating in her workout routine.
This process, defined as excess post exercise oxygen consumption, represents the increased amount of oxygen intake after an exercise session occurs to help replace the oxygen deficit that occurred during the session
But after the workout, that is where fat usage increases. The EPOC principle begins to work in the body and increased fatty acids release from the stores, which are then burned off as fuel.
So basically, with intense workout sessions,carbs are burned as energy during the session and fats as energy for an extended period after the workout routine.
"If you can increase your rate of fat burning after the session for 36 hours, you can imagine what type of impact this is going to have on your rate of weight loss." beams Gagnon. This is precisely what the Xcelerate Effect is about, accelerating the metabolism for rapid and permanent fat loss.
One study that was published by the European Journal of Applied Physiology noted that when subjects performed intense resistance exercise, including bodyweight resistance, the increase in calorie burn after the session was most noticeable for the first three hours, then slowly decreased after that, but did stay elevated above baseline for a period of up to 38 hours.
This is great news, but Kyla knows her mission to transform people is not going to be easy. "People have not yet seen the power of our workout routine. I am on a 25,000 Ripped Nation transformation mission," she says as she talks about her desire to transform 25,000 people and free them from spending too much valuable time at the gym doing boring cardio exercise which isn't working. After meeting her, there is no doubt she can do it.
Miss Gagnon is the real deal. She is refreshingly laid back and easy going but there is a fire and passion evident within her. It is apparent t she is ready to transform anyone who is prepared to see success with her BodyRipped Totality A2X workout routine.

Positive peer pressure and the power of an unfamiliar environment will put delegates through their paces and in to situations that will force them to draw on the skills and abilities that they have. There comes a moment in every leaders life where they decide to live on purpose; taking responsibility rather than waiting to be told.
Click on one of the "year group" tabs to find out more details.

Glenn Frey Tickets continued.
Glenn Frey Tickets Continued
Growing up in Royal Oak, Michigan, Glenn Frey became part of the mid-1960s Detroit rock scene. His first professional recording experience was performing acoustic guitar and background vocals on Bob Seger's Ramblin' Gamblin' Man in 1968. Glenn Frey and Seger would remain friends and occasional songwriting partners in later years. He then moved to Los Angeles where his first recording as an artist was while fronting Longbranch Pennywhistle, a duo with J.D. Souther, in 1969. Glenn Frey also met Jackson Browne there, with whom he would also sometimes write songs.
After a stint in 1971 backing Linda Ronstadt, Glenn Frey helped form The Eagles, playing guitar and keyboards. He wrote or co-wrote (often with Don Henley) many of the group's songs and sang lead vocal on a number of Eagles hits such as "Take It Easy", "Tequila Sunrise", "Lyin' Eyes", "New Kid in Town" and "Heartache Tonight".
Since 1994, Glenn Frey has participated in various Eagles reunion projects. He also continues to tour as a solo artist.

See our map to find participating schools around the world!

Explore Our Activities
How We Align to Standards
STEM Playground designed its STEM activities and supporting curriculum material around you and your students, NOT Common Core standards. However, we understand the need for those of you in Common Core-participating states to meet English Language Arts and Math standards, even as you teach science.
So STEM Playground asked educational publisher Longbourn Editorial to correlate our current curriculum material to both Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards.
How Our Competition Works
STEM Playground's activities are designed to be completed by teams of two students and will have measurable results which you can compare with other classes globally, nationally, or even within your own community or school.
While you can compare results from just one activity, you can also compete in the cumulative League Challenge by completing all 12 designated League Challenge activities.
Our Mission
STEM Playground prepares elementary students for team-based STEM competition through activities designed to create excitement about STEM at an early age while assessing and developing the character traits required for effective collaboration. Through our online virtual STEM tournament, teachers conduct simple, inexpensive science-based activities with their two-student teams, then upload their scores to compare with other teams and classes around the globe.

Build Guide by TheTennessee

Kassadin Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Yes, it is a reference to a D&D spell.
Kassadin is meant to be built as a hybrid, and that's how I build him. Pretty much the above build is how the items will be set up. Your build order would be:
1. Tear of the Goddess
2. Beserker's Greaves
3. Vampiric Scepter
4. Stinger
5. Manamune (From 1)
6. Avarice Blade
7. Nashor's Tooth (From 4)
8. Hextech Gunblade (From 3)
9. Sheen
10. Youmuu's Ghostblade (From 6)
11. Lich Bane (From 9)
That is the optimal build order, but your enemies may dictate a different build order for you.
Be buying wards the entire way through, and use the wards to watch the bushes, and use Clairvoyance to watch enemy movement early on. If anyone tries to gank you, gank them back. They will not be expecting you to jump on them while they are waiting in the bushes.
If you want to mid, that shouldn't be a problem against most enemies. Know when to move in to get last hits on minions, and use your Q to harass the enemy as much as possible. The reason to level it up first is to have a shot to harass with during early leveling.
When you get the chance, burst the enemy down, and drop an ignite on them, and if you timed it right, you should be able to get a kill or two before hitting level 6. If you are with a laning partner, coordinate with them, and possibly use your Q against the support on that lane to keep it from helping your target. Otherwise, drop Q and E on your target.
Once you have riftwalk, move carefully through the jungles, and watch for enemy movement in the jungles. Use Clairvoyance to catch enemies trying to get a neutral monster buff, and gank them as they do it. Catching the enemy alone will allow you to get a few kills without your team, and give you valuable buffs.
Once the team begins to move and push, use Clairvoyance to watch the enemy's movement, and catch enemies when they hide in bushes. You will find a huge advantage in picking off the stragglers in between nuking down their squishies during team engagements.
Really, this Kassadin doesn't play too much differently than any other hybrid Kassadin, except that he will be on the hunt, and stalking prey. This is a mix between the original Black Blade of Disaster build and the Scryer of the Void build.

For 7th consecutive year, Fiscal Stability Authority Board remains in advisory status
On Monday, the Erie County Fiscal Stability Authority voted unanimously to approve the proposed 2016 Erie County budget and four-year financial plan, calling both reasonable and balanced. The legislation that created the authority requires that, within 20 days of receiving the county's proposed budget and plan, ECFSA must review and determine whether the budget and plan are in balance and realistic.
ECFSA first entered an "advisory" (and not "control") period in June 2009 and, by its actions now, has continued to remain in an advisory status for 2016.
"I thank ECFSA and Chairman James Sampson for their diligent review and approval of the proposed 2016 budget and plan, as well as for their cooperation with the county during the past weeks as ECFSA examined the budget and financial plan," Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz said. "Following a thorough analysis, ECFSA's vote affirms that this is a responsible and balanced budget and plan."
ECFSA's finance committee met Oct. 21 and heard testimony from and posed questions to representatives of the county's division of budget and management. In addition, ECFSA submitted a detailed written list of 21 questions to county budget officials regarding the 2016 budget and financial plan, necessitating a comprehensive response from the county.
At the ECFSA meeting, ECFSA members commented they were pleased with the open dialogue and transparency of the Poloncarz administration and expressed their satisfaction with the cooperation and efficiency of the county.
Poloncarz added, "ECFSA's decision today to remain in an advisory status is an important independent affirmation and validation of the hard work of my administration in improving the county's finances while providing important services to the residents of Erie County in a cost-efficient, reasonable and transparent manner."

(AFP) – President Barack Obama on Sunday will visit Newtown, Connecticut, where a shooter gunned down 20 small children and six adults at an elementary school, the White House said.
Obama will also speak at an interfaith vigil for families of the victims and the community at 7:00 pm (0000 GMT Monday). During his visit, the president will "meet with the families of those who were lost and thank first responders," spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement late Saturday.
