Mixed martial arts will once again be featured on prime-time network television this Saturday night as EliteXC puts on their second show for the channel, entitled "Unfinished Business". The show will emanate from the Stockton Arena in California and will be joint-broadcasted by CBS and Showtime.
The premise of the event's name stems from a disappointing ending to the first bout between Robbie Lawler and Scott Smith on May 31st. After battling for two and a half rounds, Lawler inadvertently poked Smith in the eye in the third stanza. The ringside doctor ultimately ruled that Smith was unable to continue due to vision problems, despite protests from Smith himself to let the fight continue. However after the fight, Smith admitted that he would have likely been knocked out by Lawler because he couldn't fully see out of his eye.
Now the two will battle it out again for Lawler's EliteXC middleweight title, this time in the show's featured attraction. Additional main card bouts include the second of three championship bouts as Jake Shields and BodogFight transfer Nick Thompson will fight for the EliteXC welterweight strap as well as hometown favorite Nick Diaz attempting to extend a two-fight winning streak against journeyman Thomas Denny.

The female bout between Shayna Baszler of Sioux Falls, S.D. and Brazil's Cristiane Cyborg has been added to the lineup for the second primetime broadcast of CBS EliteXC Saturday Night Fights, live from the Stockton Arena in Stockton, Calif. on Saturday, July 26 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Baszler and Cyborg, who are fighting in the 140 pound weight class, complete the primetime matchups for the CBS EliteXC Saturday Night Fights on July 26. Other CBS fights include:

With EliteXC's next network television event on CBS being officially announced for July 26th, additional details have surfaced regarding a potential venue for the show, some of the participants on the card, and the potential of featuring three title fights on the broadcast as well.
In his latest column for Yahoo! Sports, Dave Meltzer is reporting that EliteXC officials will work with executives from both Showtime and CBS on a dual-network show that would have Showtime air a 60-90 minute lead-in show that would feature a couple of preliminary fights before the main card goes live on CBS later that night, marking the first time in the history of this sport where two networks have combined to air a single event.
The promotion has already revealed the main event of the show as EliteXC middleweight champion Robbie Lawler will go head-to-head with Scott Smith in an anticipated rematch of their exciting bout that took place just two weeks ago during Memorial Day weekend. The first bout between the two ended in a no-contest after Lawler inadvertently poked Smith in the eye in the third round of their bout.
The ringside doctor ultimately ruled that Smith was unable to continue due to vision problems, despite protests from Smith himself to let the fight continue. However after the fight, Smith admitted that he would have likely been knocked out by Lawler because he couldn't fully see out of his eye. Distraught as well after the fight was Lawler, who may now find solace in the fact that EliteXC officials have been working to bring the event to his hometown of St. Louis. Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall seems to be the second option.

Drew Fickett submits Jae Suk Lim. Photo by Tom Casino/EliteXC.
It was only a little more than three months ago when Jake Shields and Drew Fickett were set to battle it out in order to crown EliteXC's first-ever welterweight champion. Their March date was squashed after Shields suffered a back injury during the week leading up to the bout, forcing Fickett to take on Jae Suk Lim instead.
A fight between the two was tentatively scheduled for this past weekend's "Return of the King" event, but concerns involving Shields ability to be ready in time for the fight began to mount. Then unexpectedly, it was Fickett who fell victim to the injury bug, suffering a knee injury during training. Or did he?
Five Ounces of Pain points out that while Fickett signed on to fight rising Canadian prospect Ryan Ford at a Maximum Fighting Championship event in July, his most recent fight, a submission win over Jeff Horlacher at a Rage in the Cage event just ten days go, has flown under the radar.
Why would Fickett take a fight on June 7th if he was supposedly too injured to be able to compete against Shields one week later?
While his injury healing up quicker than expected and Shields deciding against fighting this past weekend could have happened, Shields camp says that isn't the case according to the latest post on their graciefighter.com site.
Apparently EliteXC officials have been unable to get in contact with Fickett and are now considering releasing him from his contract, a move that would go against the type of employee Fickett has been to other organization's in the past.
In addition, Shields will now be fighting in one of the featured bouts on EliteXC's next network television event on CBS on July 26th. Two current welterweight champions in different organizations are being discussed as potential opponents for Shields: BodogFight welterweight champion Nick Thompson and reigning IFL welterweight title holder Jay Hieron.

Japanese legend and former Olympic judoka Hidehiko Yoshida was victorious this weekend at World Victory Road's third "Sengoku" show, submitting former UFC heavyweight champion Maurice Smith with a neck crank in the first round of their main event bout.
Yoshida went right in for a takedown to start the bout but his attempt was stuffed by Smith, who punished Yoshida with punches for even trying to take the fight to the ground. Yoshida was able to maintain his composure and after a brief exchange on the feet, was finally able to take Smith down. A scramble allowed Yoshida to quickly grab ahold of Smith's neck and Yoshida locked in a modified neck crank that forced the longtime veteran to tap out just minutes into the fight.
The win snapped a three-fight losing streak for Yoshida, who needed to be victorious in order to maintain his headliner status inside the promotion. The loss was Smith's first since he came out of retirement following a seven-year hiatus.
YAMMA Pit Fighting tournament champion Travis Wiuff knocked out fan-favorite Kazuyuki Fujita in the first round. Also victorious on the card were Marcio Cruz, former PRIDE grand prix winner Kazuo Misaki, and current BodogFight welterweight champion Nick Thompson.
Complete results from the event:
Fabio Silva def. Yoshiki Takahashi - KO (Knee)
Rodrigo Damm def. Jorge Masvidal - TKO (Strikes)
Marcio Cruz def. Mu Bae Choi - Submission (Modified Triangle)
Sanae Kikuta def. Chris Rice - Submission (Armbar)
Nick Thompson def. Michael Costa - Submission (Kimura)
Kazuo Misaki def. Logan Clark - Unanimous Decision
Travis Wiuff def. Kazuyuki Fujita - KO (Punches)
Hidehiko Yoshida def. Maurice Smith - Submission (Neck Crank)

Jonathan Goulet, who recently knocked out Kuniyoshi Hironaka in Canada last month, has reportedly pulled out of his upcoming scheduled bout against Paul Kelly next month at UFC 85: Bedlam in London, England.
The circumstances concerning Goulet's withdrawal differ however. In a recent interview with MMA Weekly, Goulet apparently stated that he was pulling out of the Kelly bout due to health reasons that he wished not to discuss. However our friends at TKO Xtreme have learned that Goulet may have backed out of the fight at the request of his training partners at the Tristar Gym, of which the Victoriaville native recently aligned himself with.
WVR Announces Thompson-Costa for 'Sengoku III'
With the fight card for it's upcoming May 18th event completed, World Victory Road officials today announced the first fight for the promotion's third event on June 8th via their official website: Nick Thompson vs Michael Costa. Thompson, the current BodogFight welterweight champion, won a unanimous decision over Fabricio Monteiro at Sengoku I in March. Costa, a Chute Boxe product, is currently riding a two-fight winning streak.
Additional fighters being advertised as competing at the event include Hidehiko Yoshida, Rodrigo Damm, Kazuyuki Fujita, Fabio Silva, and Marcio Cruz. Former PRIDE lightweight title holder Takanori Gomi has also stated that he intends to return to action at the show.
Talks Between WEC, Alessio Stall
Contract negotiations between veteran welterweight John Alessio and World Extreme Cagefighting have reportedly come to a halt according to a report by The Fight Network.
"I'm actually wondering myself what's going on," Alessio said in the report. "I figured I would have heard something by now. They offered me the rematch with Larson, but it's now up to my manager to negotiate. It's going to come down to money and if they want to sign me long-term or not."
Alessio also went on to say that he had been offered a bout against the above-mentioned Nick Thompson by Hardcore Championship Fighting officials. However it's key to note that Thompson has stated in the past that he is not locked into any sort of contract with HCF to date.
MTV's "True Life" to Feature Kit Cope
UFC and WEC veteran Kit Cope will reportedly be featured on MTV's "True Life" series for the second time according to a report by our friends at MMA Junkie.
Cope, who was originally featured in "True Life: I'm a Muay Thai Fighter" back in 2004, will now serve as one of the featured fighters in "True Life: I'm an MMA Fighter". Filming for the show is currently being done and cameras will also accompany Cope to his next scheduled fight for World Fighting Championships against Dave Cochran later this month.

Current Bodog Fight welterweight champion Nick Thompson is reportedly close to signing with Alberta-based Hardcore Championship Fighting.
The news comes from a report by The Fight Network.
Thompson, a Minnesota Martial Arts Academy product, has won eleven straight fights since losing to Karo Parisyan in April 2006. He last defeated Fabricio Monteiro via unanimous decision at World Victory Road's inaugural show titled "Sengoku" earlier this month.
It's still unknown whether or not Thompson is now a free agent after fighting overseas. Thompson fought outside of Calvin Ayre's project for the first time since October 2006.
Thompson's potential signing comes just one week after Hardcore Championship Fighting CEO Keith Crawford announced that the promotion has been purchased. ProElite, the parent company of Elite Xtreme Combat is rumored as the potential buyer.
An official announcement regarding the purchase is expecting to come sometime before the organization's next event in May.

A full recap of the event will come later today…

Evangelista Santos def. Makoto Takimoto - Submission (Heel Hook)
Kazuyuki Fujita def. Peter Graham - Submission (North-South Choke)

Josh Barnett def. Hidehiko Yoshida - Submission (Heel Hook)

For those of you in North America, a new era of mixed martial arts will take place over in Japan while you are sleeping Tuesday night. World Victory Road will hold it's inaugural show titled "Sengoku" Wednesday at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan.
The show will feature a main event between former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett and former Olympian Hidehiko Yoshida. Former PRIDE lightweight champion Takanori Gomi and one-time K-1 kickboxing standout Duane "Bang" Ludwig will clash. Kazuo Misaki will also compete on the card.
A definite mix of former PRIDE veterans and other notable fighters that have competed in various organizations around the world make this event intriguing.
Main Card
As far as the main event goes, both Barnett and Yoshida will be attempting to shake of a good amount of ring rust as neither fighter has competed since PRIDE: Shockwave 2006 on New Year's Eve two years ago.
Barnett lost a unanimous decision to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in a rematch of their Open-Weight Grand Prix bout at the event. Yoshida was stopped with strikes by heavyweight slugger James Thompson.
While Barnett has been staying in shape thanks to a regular schedule involving professional wrestling appearances and grappling matches, Yoshida is a complete question mark conditioning wise. In reality though, it won't matter very much in this fight.
Even though the two are former training partners, it shouldn't be much of a chess match. Look for Barnett to dominate Yoshida and pick up an easy win.

World Victory Road has announced the addition of three more bouts for it's inaugural event entitled "Sengoku" on March 5th at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan.
The biggest one has to be a lightweight battle between former PRIDE lightweight champion Takanori Gomi and one-time K-1 kickboxing standout Duane "Bang" Ludwig.
Gomi has not fought since he took on Nick Diaz at PRIDE 33 in February of last year. Diaz submitted Gomi with a gogoplata in an exciting fight but the decision was later overturned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after it was found that Diaz had tested positive for marijuana at the conclusion of the event.
"The Fireball Kid" had been courted by multiple organizations since PRIDE was purchased by Zuffa last March, including the UFC. Speculation had him headed over to K-1 Hero's at one point but a deal between the two sides never came to fruition.
Ludwig was originally slated to take on Steve Berger at the upcoming "Strikeforce at the Dome" event later this month but MMA Weekly reports that Ludwig will pull out of that fight.
Additional bouts that were announced include current BodogFight welterweight title holder Nick Thompson going up against Fabricio Monteiro and Pancrase veteran Ryo Kawamura taking on Antonio Neto. Also mentioned at today's press conference was the signing of legendary PRIDE heavyweight Kazuyuki Fujita, who will take on a yet to be announced opponent at the show.

Every day thousands of pieces of information flood libraries. The sheer volumes of materials via the Internet, plus an increasing number of library services, have created a need for library technical assistants to aid and support librarians in providing information. In order to help fill that need, Wilbur Wright College, one of the City Colleges of Chicago, offers a program for those interested in becoming Library Technical Assistants (LTA).
The online courses for Library Technology are paced distance education courses that require active and intensive participation in online asynchronous discussions and small group collaboration. They are not independent study courses. Students must write English at the Freshman Composition (101) level and read at a minimum of the 12th grade level.
These classes are 16-weeks long with a Mid-term and Final. In most classes there is a final project or paper. There is a schedule with specific deadlines for assignments and projects, but you are not required to participate in "live" events. Lectures, assignments, questions, and discussion all occur online. The asynchronous online format provides flexibility as to when and where participants study, interact with the materials, their classmates, and instructor.For further information contact Jeannette Bruno at firstname.lastname@example.com or (773) 481-8400.

I go, say hello to everyone and smile. Pile of papers on the table.
I sit back and think about you. You are always with me, always on my mind.
What a pity that I can not see your eyes now. I love to watch them when you wake up in the morning, next to me, or I wake up and the first thing I see your warm and soft eyes.
And huge aquamarine waves rolled on your heat and cover me from head to toe.
- Lena, what are you doing this again reflected.
Come down from heaven to earth!
I look confused eyes on Svetku and dreaming and really.
- Okay, Lena, from you anyway no sense today, piss home I myself completed yet.
- Oh, she asks, thank you so much. – flying up and kiss her on the cheek. No sign up nude webcam.

Boy it's been one hell of a rollercoaster for me this week. I got engaged, broke off the engagement and now I get called by the hospital that my dad is in the ER and will be admitted for treatment of diverticulitis. He will be in the hospital for about a week and is slated to also have surgery to remove part of his colon. His condition is so severe that he is being closely monitored to make sure he doesn't develop septesemia (poisoning of his system). I'm beside myself and can't get off work to go down there until the 23rd. He's 4 hours away from me so I'm just crying hysterically at work and trying to text my mom to keep me updated. I got ahold of my former fiance because he lives down there as well and he offered to go stay at the hospital with my dad and make sure my mom is ok. I'm speechless of how selfless he is the day we called off the engagement

FOXBOROUGH – The University of Massachusetts football team took its preseason training camp act on the road Wednesday as the Minutemen practiced at Gillette Stadium in preparation for their season opener there against Boston College on Aug. 30.
Coach Mark Whipple scheduled the light, helmets-only walkthrough session as a way of helping get players acclimated to the game day schedule involved with making the two-hour trek out from Amherst.
"We wanted to go through a mock game here and a lot of the guys haven't seen the locker room or how long the ride is and all the things that way," he said. "We'll do the same thing next Friday so we get a feel. It's a great place and instead of them looking around with their cameras next week they'll be ready to play."
Whipple wasn't concerned with any of the team's new players being awestruck by the prospect of playing at the home of the New England Patriots, but wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page heading into game week.
"It was kind of 'Hey, this isn't the focus next week. The focus is preparing for Boston College,'" he said.
Quarterback Blake Frohnapfel – who spent the previous two seasons playing his home games at Marshall's Joan C. Edwards Stadium (30,000 capacity vs. 68,000 at Gillette) – was impressed with the Minutemen's home away from home.
"It's pretty awesome. When you take that little road in and you see how big it is, it's a pretty cool place to be," he said. "Having a chance to play in a big game (against BC) in a stadium like this with all the history and all the guys who have played on this field, it's pretty special."
Penn State transfer Alex Kenney agreed.
"It's amazing. It's an honor to be able to play in an NFL stadium," he said. "I'm really looking forward to next Saturday when we can get out here and get the games started."
For Frohnapfel, the field trip was especially useful for getting acclimated with the foreign layout of a new stadium.
"Just getting used to where the play clock is at and the whole backdrop and feeling more comfortable with that," he said. "It's different everywhere you go and you've just got to get used to it."
GETTING ANXIOUS: With less than two weeks before the opener, Whipple admitted tensions amongst the team are beginning to heighten.
"They were anxious today and I think coaches were too," said Whipple, who earlier in training camp called the BC the "biggest home opener we've ever had in the history of UMass.
"You want to see how they'll do under pressure. You're going to make some mistakes, especially the first game. You never know how those things though so I thought it was really good today."
ROSTER REPORT: The biggest name missing from practice Wednesday was starting cornerback Randall Jette, who sat out with neck spasms. The injury isn't considered serious and he is expected back in the coming days.
Running back Jordan Broadnax, tight end Brandon Howard and linebacker John Robinson-Woodgett were all held out with undisclosed injuries.
Running back Lorenzo Woodley was active for the first time this week after missing time with an ankle injury. Linebacker Da'Sean Downey was also back after missing practice Tuesday with a walking boot on his right foot.
Junior college transfers tight end Jean Sifrin and offensive lineman Ryan Johnson did not participate as they await administrative clearance to join the team.

The world is spinning out of control. It seems like everyday there is a mass-shooting, bombing, terrorist attack, or stabbing.
While mostly it has been happening America, Europe,and the Middle East, terror has now come to a country where violence and especially terrorism are very rare.
SAGAMIHARA, Japan (@AP) – Japanese news agency: 19 dead, 20 injured in knife attack outside Tokyo
— Michael Rusch (@weeddude) July 25, 2016
More via NHK:
A knife-wielding man has gone on a rampage at a facility for handicapped people in the city of Sagamihara, west of Tokyo.
Police say 15 people are confirmed dead and 45 injured.
They say they received a call from an employee of Tsukui Yamayuri-en just after 2:30AM on Tuesday morning. The caller reportedly said that a man carrying a knife broke into the building.
Police arrested a young man, apparently in his 20s, when he turned himself at a police station in the city shortly after 3 AM.
Police say the man told them that he was a former employee of the center.
Tsukui Yamayuri-en is located about 2 kilometers east of the JR Sagamiko station.

Children are always asked to drink more and more milk daily because calcium is found abundantly in milk, yogurt, and other dairy products. It has also been suggested by doctors, nutritionists and fitness experts to add more calcium to our daily routine. The reason behind the emphasis on calcium is that it is one of the components which make our bones stronger.
Calcium in the Human Body
- It helps the bones to build stronger and longer by supporting tissues in bones, hence making us taller and stronger.
- Slows down the rate of degeneration of bones.
- Helps muscle contraction.
- Specifically, calcium not only helps other muscles but it also helps the heart muscles' contraction, helping the heart beating.
- Human nerves need calcium to function.
- Helps in clotting of blood.
Not taking enough of it
Parents should be more concerned about not only their child's calcium intake but also about themselves. However, children are at higher risk of many complications if they are not getting enough of recommended calcium in their daily diet. If they do not get enough of recommended calcium, their growth is ceased, and they might never achieve their average adult height. Even a mild deficiency of calcium can bring serious problems to the person later in his or her life. The risks and problems relating calcium deficiency might include broken bones, lower bone density or bone loss later in life.
How much is too much?
Excess of everything is definitely bad, intake of calcium more than 2500 milligrams in a day can have harmful effects on your health. Higher calcium intake can cause kidney stones and might hinder the absorption of zinc, magnesium, and iron in the body. Before taking any supplements to increase your calcium intake, you must first know about the optimal amount of calcium to take during a day. According to experts addition of dairy products in your daily diet will solve the problem of calcium deficiency and will also never create the problem of excess calcium intake. It is easier and cheaper to add dairy products including milk and yogurt then going to a doctor and taking a different kind of supplements.
Calcium Requirement
The amount of calcium required according to different age groups and genders is given below.
Age Wise Requirement
Adequate intake (AI) for ages 9-18 is 1,300 milligrams (mg) per day.
AI for ages 18-50 is 1,000 mg a day.
AI for 50+ is 1,200 mg a day.
The National Osteoporosis Foundation further recommends
Gender-based Requirements
Age 50 & below 1,000 milligrams per day
Age 51 & above 1,200 milligrams per day
Age 70 & below 1,000 milligrams per day
Age 71 & above 1,200 milligrams per day
Vitamin D and Calcium
Taking enough calcium might not only enough for stronger bones because the lower level of Vitamin D will hinder the calcium absorption. Hence it is also important to take enough Vitamin D with enough calcium.
Calcium is found in many foods including leafy vegetables with dark green leaves, dairy products, tofu, cereals, broccoli, kale salmon, and figs.

Google continues to be as non-techy as possible in Chrome adsPosted on Wed Apr 21 2010
Why are tech firms bent on convincing us they're not all that, you know, tech? For instance, you might think that a Google ad for a software product like its Chrome browser would be futuristic, but the brand and agency BBH have gone the other way: Like last year's introductory ad for Chrome, the new executions forgo shots of computer guts for whimsical, Rube Goldberg-esque visions of copper plumbing and hammers, an image that recalls Weetabix's depiction of a Google search. The new ads hype Chrome features like Twitter integration and the ability to turn images into slideshows, all with cutesy, low-tech illustrations that give the impression that Google staffers are giddy Oompa-Loompas rather than hard-nosed engineers, a trick Dell deployed last year with negligible success. Of course, Apple has been more successful with the approach with its "Get a Mac" ads, which literally humanized its product (and that of PC makers.) Maybe chips and ethernet cables just aren't that visually exciting, even if Popular Science argues that the Internet actually resembles something that is thrilling to some: a Tootsie Roll pop.

Match to be played on Saturday 2nd November 2013 at 15:00. Venue: Etihad Stadium, Manchester.
Manchester City will be looking for an instant response this weekend after they were edged out at Stamford Bridge last Sunday.
City currently find themselves seventh in the table just two points ahead of local rivals Manchester United.
Manuel Pellegrini saw his side win in mid-week against Newcastle United but he's likely to make several changes to that side, as he hunts down another three points this Saturday.
Here is the side he may go with against Norwich.
GK – Joe Hart
Hart was rested for the trip to Newcastle, which would have given him some time to reflect and think about the mistakes he has made this season. He remains one of the best goalkeepers around and it would be surprising if he doesn't return to the team for this fixture.
LIVE Premier League match alerts to your phone - goals, red cards, half and full time scores
RB – Pablo Zabaleta
The right-back is one of the most experienced players that City have available. He's not been at his best this season but he's a leader and someone the rest of the side looks to when things aren't going well.
CB – Javi Garcia
Martin Demichelis was given his debut against Chelsea but he didn't do an awful lot to convince Pellegrini he should stay in the side. Joleon Lescott played well during mid-week but City's Chilean boss is likely to nudge Garcia into the back four considering the opposition.
CB – Matija Nastasic
Nastasic is a very exciting defensive talent and someone who looks like he could form the spine of City's defence for many years to come. He reads the game well, he's quick and he's got good strength, which makes him difficult for all forwards to play against.
LB – Aleksandar Kolarov
There is great debate over who is the best left-back at City; Aleksandar Kolarov or Gael Clichy. Kolarov should get the nod for this game as he played well against Newcastle. He offers a good outlet for the midfield when he goes forward and he's solid defensively.

RM – Jesus Navas
This game against Norwich represents a real opportunity for City to cut loose, attack and go after a big win at home. Navas on the right hand side creates natural width and his pace will make him a constant threat throughout the game.
CM – Yaya Toure
Toure is one of the first names down on the team sheet for Premier League games. He offers power and intelligence going forward as well as aggression and awareness when he's being pressed back towards his own goal. Toure has also been a big threat from set pieces this season.
CM – Fernandinho
He still doesn't seem to be quite at his best but Fernandinho is likely to slot in next to Toure. He's good in possession and is a very intelligent player able to link the defence with midfield and the midfield with attack.
LM – David Silva
Silva on the left provides an element of control in possession. He often cuts inside to get involved with the play centrally and it's important that Kolarov gets beyond him from left-back, which will give City some width down that side of the pitch.
See also: Manchester City fans react on Twitter to Costil Pantimilon display
ST – Sergio Aguero
Aguero is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and someone who is an effective front man against all defences. The Argentinean should be very determined to get stuck in, cause chaos and increase his goal tally by one or two goals in this game.
ST – Alvaro Negredo
Negredo is starting to look like a very decent number nine for City. He came off the bench against Newcastle to get a goal and should play at the top of the attack, looking to occupy both centre backs which will create more space for his teammates to take advantage of.
What do you think? Should Garcia move into defence? Do you want to see Nasri in the team?

Himalayan project face flood risk
Dec 05, 2016
Dec 05, 2016
According to an analysis of Himalayan glaciers and their possible future impact on livelihoods in States adjoining the region, Potential hydro power projects in the Himalayan region would need to factor in chances of increased floods from the formation of new lakes and the expansion of existing ones due to melting glaciers.
- 441 hydro power projects spanning India, Nepal, Pakistan and China, that is, 66 per cent of the constructed and the potential projects, are on possible Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOF) tracks. This means they could be gorged with extra water from melting glaciers. Almost a third of these projects could experience GLOF discharges well above what these dams account for.
- Safety features have to be accommodated:If hydro power projects were to be situated close to these glaciers, they would have to account for higher water flows. But that does not mean they cannot be built. It might need extra design or safety features.
Climate change & Himalaya:
- The region was once covered with rich pristine forests, a diverse flora and fauna, and home to innumerable medicinal plants and herbs. It is now much degraded and under tremendous stress.
- The diversity can be seen in the 13,000 species of flowering plants, of 8000 alone are in the eastern Himalayas and over 5000 species in Western Himalayas. Over 816 tree species, 675 edibles and nearly 1743 species of medicinal value are found here.
- The impact of over-exploitation of these natural resources that have increasingly led to reduced dense forest cover, accelerated soil erosion, increased silting of water bodies, drying-up of springs, and the disappearance of many species of flora and fauna.
- The Himalayas have undergone major changes in the last century. Conditions range from a critical situation in the Himalayas of Sikkim, Uttarakhand, and Kashmir to a moderately serious situation in Bhutan and the eastern Himalayas.
- Melting glaciers:The 1 deg. C. increase in temperature in the Himalayas has far-reaching impacts not only on the mountainous regions but also on the northern river-plains that depend largely on them. One of the biggest concerns is the melting of the glaciers, which are retreating at an alarming rate.

Hurricane Matthew has unleashed a new cholera outbreak in Haiti, endangering the lives of thousands of people who lack access to clean water. Click here for the story.
How Cross Catholic Outreach is making an impact
Cross Catholic has been reaching out to ministry partners on the ground in Haiti to help them rush aid to hurricane survivors and ensure that the sick receive the medical care they need. Our strong presence in Haiti, including our relationships with a broad network of local parishes and aid agencies, plus the stationing of a permanent in-country office in Port-au-Prince, enables us to effectively and efficiently channel support to those who need it most. Our goal is not just immediate relief for survivors, but also the rehabilitation of local ministries that have been incapacitated by the disaster.

New Mobile Home – Blank (edit: figured it out)
I recently updated the plugin and before, the homescreen had my wordpress posts. Now the page is blank except for the header/menu up top and the "view non-mobile site" link on the bottom. Can you tell me what it is I need to edit?
I had to read the homepage to figure it out.
"How to create a custom mobile homepage.
Create a page in the WordPress admin titled bp-mobile. The mobile theme will use this page."
Just go to WordPress admin and click "add new page" and title it simply "bp-mobile". Anything you add in that page will be shown as the front page. That's what I did. I don't know if "bp-mobile" is the actual default front page that Buddypress Mobile is now using.

New Delhi: Ajinkya Rahane stood tall amidst ruins with an unbeaten 89 as the much vaunted top-order failed et again with India reaching a shaky 231 for 7 against South Africa on the opening day of fourth and final cricket Test, here on Thursday.
Save for Rahane, who came back to form with a top quality unbeaten 89-run innings from 155 balls, and skipper Virat Kohli (44), who looked in good touch, the other specialist batsmen did not make use of a slow but decent enough track for batting after the skipper had won the toss.
ALSO READ: Dane Piedt excels as South African spinners keep their dominance on Indian batsmen
Rahane's innings had nine boundaries and two sixes and he is 11 short of a well-deserved fifth Test hundred.
Giving Rahane company was R Ashwin (6) when play was called off slightly early owing to bad light.
The tormentors for India were spinner Dane Piedt (4/101 in 34 overs), playing his first Test of the series, and pacer Kyle Abott (3/23 in 17 overs), who was economical as well as incisive with his swing bowling as South Africa sent down 84 overs during the day.
ALSO READ: Was Virat Kohli right in dropping leggie Amit Mishra for 4th Test against South Africa?
Rahane, who scored his first ever half-century on home soil, kept his cool even as wickets tumbled at the other end. For the record, this is only the third half-century by an Indian batsman in the series so far and eighth half-century of Rahane's Test career.
The total was also the highest by any team in the series so far. There were only two significant partnerships -- 70 between Kohli and Rahane for the 4th wicket and 59 for the 7th wicket between Rahane and Ravindra Jadeja (24).
While he played second fiddle to Kohli during their stand, Rahane took charge once Wriddhiman Saha (1) was castled by Abbott's reverse swing.
Piedt, who came from round the wicket, fired at an angle which was dispatched for maximum over deep mid-wicket. His 50 came off 91 balls when he hit Piedt for a boundary as Jadeja also grew in confidence at the other end.
However, Morne Morkel, coming for his final spell of the day, got Jadeja to flick one as Dean Elgar snapped a smart catch at mid-wicket.
The team's 200 came in the 74th over when Rahane hit an Imran Tahir half-tracker towards mid-wicket boundary and followed it up with a lofted hit over mid-on.
Skipper Kohli's promising innings was cut short by a freak dismissal while Rohit Sharma's indiscreet shot selection compounded the home team's problems on a Feroz Shah Kotla track which was far better than the ones provided at Mohali and Nagpur.
Kohli had raced to 44, his highest score in the series and looked good for even more when he was sent by South Africa's most successful bowler off-spinner Dane Piedt, who had figures of 4/101 to show for his efforts.
It was a flighted delivery and Kohli hit a full-blooded sweep shot. But to his horror, the ball popped up after rebounding off the thigh of forward short-leg fielder Temba Bavuma.
Wicketkeeper Dane Vilas rushed from his position to dive forward and completed an impressive catch.
Kohli struck seven boundaries in 62 balls adding 70 runs with Ajinkya Rahane for the fourth wicket.
But it will certainly be Rohit Sharma (1), whose irresponsible shot-selection will be talked about for some time to come.
Having been dropped at slip on 0 by Hashim Amla off Kyle Abbott's bowling, Rohit decided to give Piedt the charge by lofting a flighted delivery only to be caught by the fielder stationed at long on for that exact shot.
It was Kohli, who certainly looked the best player among the top order batsmen hitting a flurry of fours -- as many as five -- within the first 35 balls.
There were a couple of assured drives and a short-arm pull off Morkel. A whip off the back-foot off Piedt also raced to boundary.
He found an able ally in Rahane, who also found some form going his way as the duo added 50 runs for the fourth wicket in only 48 minutes facing 67 balls.
Not only did they score quickly, they also showed the earlier batsmen that there were no demons in the pitch which made it even difficult to fathom some of the poor shot selections especially by Rohit, who has now wasted another golden opportunity to settle down in the Test team.
The turn was very slow which gave Kohli and Rahane enough time to adjust and play their strokes.
Earlier, having restricted the run flow during the first session, the Proteas bowlers attacked in the post lunch session as they dismissed Dhawan (33) and Pujara (14) in quick succession to reduce the hosts to 66 for three.
It was Piedt again as he bowled an off-break that caught Dhawan not lunging fully forward and offering his pad to be adjudged plumb in-front. Dhawan's 33 came off 85 balls with four boundaries to his credit.
The loudest cheer from the school children, who had come to watch the first day's play, was reserved for skipper Kohli but to his dismay, soon after his arrival Pujara was dismissed by Abbott.
It was a delivery that moved in after pitching as it sneaked in breaching Pujara's defence to hit the stumps. The dismissal due to the gap between bat and pad was something identical that had troubled the Saurashtra player in Australia, last year.
This was the fourth time in the series when skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and immediately opted to make first use of the Kotla track.

Orient ExpressFast Food from the Eastern MediterraneanSivena Rowe; photography by Jonathan Lovekin
published 2012 7.75" x 9.5" • 188 pages • full-color photosISBN 9781566569187 • hardback • $30.00 •
"Highly recommended for readers looking to explore new spices."Library Journal
Orient Express is for busy cooks who want a touch of the light, beautiful cuisine of the eastern Mediterranean.
Following her acclaimed Purple Citrus & Sweet Perfume, Silvena Rowe turns her focus to the delicious small dishes that you would find in the bustling street markets of Damascus or Istanbul —koftes, falafels and pilafs—as well as delicious puddings such as vanilla baklava, and chocolate and pistachio mousse.
In this treasure trove of a book she presents 100 light, enticing new recipes, perfectly balanced for mezze-style summer meals. This is a cuisine both for celebrating and for sharing: Ottoman-inspired food, based around stunning combinations of sweet and sour—honey and cinnamon, saffron and sumac—and given a brilliant modern twist by one of the most exciting chefs working today.
Silvena Rowe has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the foods and culinary traditions of the eastern Mediterranean. Her cooking is light and the presentation of her dishes is elegant and sophisticated, while the flavors are powerful and the textures balanced. Her enthusiasm for the food of her heritage is evident on every page.
Silvena Rowe is a London-based food writer, cookbook author and celebrated chef. She is the Chef Patron of The May Fair Hotel, where, her new flagship restaurant Quince has opened its doors in the spring of 2011. Silvena's first book, The Eastern and Central European Kitchen, won a prestigious Glenfiddich Food and Drink award, and in 2010 Purple Citrus & Sweet Perfume won the Gourmand award for the best book on Mediterranean cuisine. She is also an established and distinctive TV presence, making regular appearances on the hugely popular BBC program Saturday Kitchen and ITV's This Morning. In addition, she was a judge on BBC Young Chef of the Year 2010.
With a love of cooking instilled in her by her Turkish father and by her upbringing in the ancient city of Plovdiv, just 500 km from the ancient Ottoman capital of Constantinople, Silvena is uniquely placed to enthuse the widest possible audience of food lovers and travelers with her passion for the best of the eastern Mediterranean kitchen.

If you have been in our world for the last few months, you know that Piper (our daughter) has struggled with potty training. Number 1 was no problem. She would pee-pee like a champ! Number 2? Well, that was a different story.
Flattery, cajoling, threatening, bribery, punishment, guilt, and persuasion all failed. Many words and tears were spent (from Mommy and Daddy) trying to communicate the need and desire to make this happen. Many words and tears were spent (from Piper) explaining that pooping was the reason God made pull-ups and who were we to question God?
But then, like in the biblical accounts of old, the heavens opened, the heavenly choir sang, and the answer presented itself…
The Potty Dance.
Piper suddenly decided pooping in the potty was acceptable if – and ONLY if – we could all do the Potty Dance in her room afterwards. Sara asked, "what's the potty dance?" Piper looked at her with a serious face and answered, "It doesn't matter. You just dance."
So dance we did. Silently (to not wake up her napping brother) we danced the Potty Dance – 30-45 seconds of uninterrupted joy in the form of movement bouncing around Piper's bright pink room. As we stopped, Piper beamed up at us and said, "Good Potty Dance, Mommy and Daddy!"
I hope Piper never loses the joy I see in her potty dance. I hope I never forget the fun of dancing with her in her bright pink room. Long live the Potty Dance!


text: Whenever it reports a CPC of >$10, how accurate does it tend to be? I personally have not worked with high CPC\low volume keywords, so I was wondering whether it's worth trying for some experience or not. Have you tried monetizing from low search\high CPC term and is the CPC generally about the same as what was stated at the tool when you first researched it?

General Motors Co will produce the next generation of Chevrolet Camaro in Lansing, Michigan, not at the plant in Oshawa, Ontario, where it currently assembles the sports car, the company said on Wednesday.
While the move is a fresh setback for workers at GM's Oshawa operation, where employment has dwindled over the last decade, it's a win for Michigan's hard-hit auto sector.
Continue Reading Below
The Canadian Auto Workers union said the Camaro accounts for 25 percent to 30 percent of GM Oshawa's current production. At a press conference, Local 222 President Chris Buckley estimated the move could affect 1,000 jobs at the plant, along with an unknown number of positions at parts suppliers.
There are just over 8,000 unionized GM workers in Canada, including more than 4,000 in Oshawa.
"It's too early to accurately predict what any employment impact might be," said GM Canada spokeswoman Faye Roberts during a call with reporters.
Roberts said the decision was a matter of improving efficiency and reducing capital investment. The Camaro is the only rear-wheel-drive vehicle built in Oshawa, and the move will consolidate rear-wheel-drive assembly at the Lansing Grand River plant, which already produces rear-wheel-drive Cadillacs.
GM has not said when it will launch the new Camaro, but an industry source familiar with the company's plans said the current model is expected to remain in production in Oshawa through 2015.
The next-generation Camaro, due in early 2016, is expected to share its underpinnings with the Cadillac ATS, so the same line in Lansing could assemble both models, the source said.
Kristin Dziczek, director of labor and industry at the Center for Automotive Research, said labor costs may also have played a role. In the United States, new hires make a lower wage than their veteran unionized peers.
"There's a considerable number of entry-level people and a lot of the older workers have already retired or taken retirement incentives," said Dziczek of GM's U.S. workforce.
There is no permanent lower wage tier in Canada. In their current contract, negotiated in the fall, the Canadian Auto Workers union agreed to a longer "earn-in" - the time it takes to reach the top of the pay scale - and concessions on benefits for new workers. But with no new hires on the horizon, those changes will not reduce costs any time soon.
Dziczek said the relatively strong Canadian dollar, which has dragged on the broader Canadian manufacturing sector, was another issue: "The loonie at par is a big factor in this."
But union leaders said GM management had assured them in writing that the new contract would not discourage future investment.
The news comes just over a week after Michigan enacted a ban on mandatory union membership. The "right to work" legislation was a blow to organized labor in the state.
But Dziczek said she did not see the new law driving the Camaro decision, as union membership is still very high at GM plants in other right to work states.
Union leaders said they were shocked by the news, and particularly frustrated because their members made concessions in 2006 to bring the Camaro to Oshawa in the first place.
"Frustrated is an understatement," said National President Ken Lewenza. "We are outraged by this decision."
The current generation Camaro will remain at Oshawa's "flex" line, which is still set to gain a third shift as GM works towards a 2013 launch for the new Chevrolet Impala.
The latest contract for GM Canada workers came with the promise of new shifts and an extended life for the "consolidated" assembly line in Oshawa to 2014. When the deal was announced, union leaders said they expected that no one with seniority would be on layoff at GM by the end of the contract.
Separately on Wednesday, GM said it would buy back 200 million of its shares from the U.S. Treasury, and the U.S. government plans to sell its remaining stake within 15 months.
GM shares jumped 7.8 percent to $27.50 in New York trading on Wednesday.

Music Disruption: A Creative Role for Smartphones at Live Showson August 20, 2013 at 6:07 pm
Smartphones have revolutionized a great deal in the way we experience live events, with music concerts very much at the forefront of this technology-driven charge. Not always to the benefit of the experience though, some would say, as a perfectly good view of a visceral live performance is all too often interrupted by an awkwardly elevated iPhone, jarringly held aloft to record an inferior version of events for posterity.
From the minor distractions of amateur photography to the deeper artistic concern over pirated recordings , it is easy to understand why many lament this particular addition of tech to the live setting. Not all feel this way, however, and some are even taking steps to embrace it.
Light It Up
Electronic artist Dan Deacon is at the forefront of the movement to integrate rather than eviscerate technology from the live performance.
Already obsessed with bringing the audience into the show, Deacon set about creating a way for his fans to augment the atmosphere of his set. Last summer he debuted the results, a mobile app that responds to the sounds of his performance, emitting an array of color from the screen that morphs and pulses with the music. Since then he has surprised and delighted audiences around the world with his unique approach to involving the audience.
Experienced live, as seen at Deacon's packed performance in Brooklyn's Prospect Park last month, the effect is quite astonishing. Where once the sea of tiny phone screens was a random wash of minor illumination irritation, harnessed in unison the crowd-sourced light show is quite something to behold. Add to this the fact that we have a participative use of the technology, rather than an isolating one, and the involvement of the smartphone at a show is fully flipped, becoming an augmentation of the experience.
The New Normal
Although this is just one creative use of technology in this environment, it is easy to imagine more and more artists jumping on the opportunity to engage their audience more deeply with performances in this way. As the ability to design apps spreads and the cost comes down, we should see increasing experimentation in this area.

We demonstrate that the intensity of the second harmonic (SH) generated in KTiOPO4 nanoparticles excited with femtosecond laser pulses increases with decreasing duration of the infrared pump pulses. The SH intensity scales, approximately, as the inverse of the laser pulse duration ranging between 13 fs and 200 fs. The SH intensity enhancement requires careful compensation of the high-order spectral phase, being achieved with a genetic algorithm. Using ultrashort laser pulses improves the signal-to-noise ratio and will allow the detection of 10-nm size particles. Finally, we demonstrate that the spectrum of broadband (100 nm) pulses can be shaped to generate non-degenerate sum-frequency mixing. This opens up access to the polarization degrees of freedom of this second-order nonlinear process at the nanoscale.

Enkidu plays a multi-faceted role in the "Tale of Gilgamesh," one that sees him at different points acting as an antagonistic opponent and then as a best friend or sidekick to the story's protagonist, Gilgamesh. Enkidu also participates in several complex symbolic relationships regarding humankind and nature, life and death, and mortal interaction with the divine.
At first appearance, Enkidu arrives as an almost primal, animalistic creature dispatched by the gods to punish and humble the arrogant, oppressive King Gilgamesh. Whereas Gilgamesh is partially of divine origin, Enkidu is molded entirely from clay, uniting his very being with the Earth rather than civilization. Ultimately Enkidu's influence enlightens Gilgamesh, transforming the hero forever and transitioning their bond into a timeless friendship. However, Enkidu's earthly nature eventually fails him, as his impiety summons the wrath of the god, Enlil, and Enkidu dies bitterly, despite his resistance, signalling the inevitability of death for all mortals.
In some cases, analysts draw parallels between Enkidu's story and the biblical account of the Garden of Eden. Though the serpent functions very differently in each of these two narratives, there is still the consistency between Enkidu and Adam, both naive and trusting, both lured from their natural innocence by a sexualized female character, both exiled from their original states forever. Analysts also point to certain episodes in the epic that may illustrate a homo-erotic relationship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu, while others insist these incidents are purely symbolic and metaphoric.
