Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden 6:30am - 10am
The victorious Oxford Boat Race crew had a choppy end to the day of their win when thieves broke into their minibus.
A rucksack and a red cotton bag containing seven of the crew's belongings were taken from the blue Ford, which was parked at the Quintin Boat Club in Chiswick, west London.
Police said the valuables were stolen between 5.20pm and 7pm on Sunday as the Oxford crew achieved the biggest victory since 1973.
The rucksack was found later in a toilet but a purse containing £40 had been taken from it.

Arrhythmia Diagnosis
Arrhythmia is any variation in the normal rhythm of the heartbeat. The heart rate at rest is usually between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Much lower heart rates may be normal in young adults, particularly those who are physically fit. Some variations in heart rate are normal. The heart rate responds not only to exercise and inactivity but also to such factors as pain, anger, anxiety and stress.
Only when the heartbeat is too fast or too slow or when an electrical impulses travel in abnormal pathways is the heartbeat considered abnormal. Such rhythms may be regular or irregular.
A patient's description of symptoms often helps the physicians diagnose arrhythmia and determine how serious it is. The most important consideration is whether:
- The heartbeats are fast or slow, regular or irregular, or short or long
- The person feels dizzy, lightheaded or even loses consciousness
- The person experiences chest pain, shortness of breath or other unusual sensations, along with the palpitations
- The palpitations happen when a patient is at rest or only during strenuous or unusual activity
- The palpitations start and stop suddenly or gradually
Techniques for finding the exact nature of the arrhythmia include:
- Electrocardiography (EKG) is the main technique for detecting arrhythmia. This test can provide a picture of the arrhythmia. An EKG shows the heart rhythm over a brief time. Often, however, arrhythmias come and go.
- A portable monitor (Holter monitor) that the patient wears for 24-hours or extended periods of time can record arrhythmias that may occur during a normal day. The patient is asked to keep a diary of symptoms while the monitor is worn.
- Electrophysiologic studies may be helpful when long-term, life-threatening arrhythmia is suspected. Special catheters are threaded through veins into the heart. The electrical impulse generated by the heart shows up on a computer screen. Electrical impulses are utilized to evaluate for arrhythmias. Most serious heart rhythm abnormalities can be detected this way. The test data allow the doctor to identify the type of arrhythmia and the best treatment for it.

Eight games into the season, Padres pitching is at a crossroads.
The five members of the Padres rotation have a collective 6.34 earned run average while averaging just over 4 2/3 innings per start. Meanwhile four members of the Padres bullpen have appeared in at least half the club's games.
The Los Angeles Dodgers scored four runs on eight hits, including two more homers, off Padres left-hander Eric Stults Wednesday night en route to a 4-3 win over the Padres before 22,843 at Petco Park.
Offensively, the Padres had less success against Dodgers starter Chad Billingsley than did their Single-A Lake Elsinore affiliate have last Thursday night.
Billingsley allowed just one run on five hits over six innings Wednesday. While on a rehab assignment with Rancho Cucamonga last week, Billingsley gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks in four innings to Lake Elsinore.
But the Padres scored twice in the bottom of the ninth and had the winning run on.
Nick Hundley doubled for his fourth hit of the game and scored on two-out singles by Everth Cabrera and Will Venable, bringing Chris Denorfia to the plate.
Dodgers reliever Brandon League struck out Denorfia, but the ball got past catcher A.J. Ellis for a passed ball allowing Cabrera to score. But Yonder Alonso flew out to left to end the game.
Stults needed 101 pitches to complete five innings Wednesday to extend two other worrisome trends by Padres starting pitchers.
Padres starters have pitched into the sixth inning only twice. They are also averaging 19 ¼ pitches per inning. At the present rate, Padres starters would pitch only 776 innings this season. The average for a rotation over a 162-game schedule is around 1,000 innings.
"It was a battle," said Stults, who has now thrown 196 pitches in 10 innings. "After the first couple innings, I was just trying to keep us in the game.
"It was kind of like the first outing, just a lot of pitches every inning."
When asked it he was concerned about his rotation, Padres manager Bud Black replied: "Yes, a little."
"It's still early," Black continued. "But you don't like to see this. The only good thing is that it is early and the guys in the bullpen are fresh. We need to get a little more length out of the starters."
The Dodgers wasted no time jumping on Stults. Lead-off hitter Carl Crawford went the other way with Stults' second pitch, driving it into the left field stands for a lead the Dodgers would never relinquish.
The Dodgers made it 3-0 in the second on a two-run homer by A.J. Ellis. The homers were the first of the season for both Crawford and Ellis. But they were the 12th and 13th served up by the Padres. Nine of those have been served up by the Padres starters in just 38 1/3 innings.
Padres starters 32 runs (27 earned) on 50 hits and 16 walks in 38 1/3 innings. That is 1 ¾ baserunners per inning. Overall, the Padres staff ERA of 5.64 is the second-worst in the major leagues.
The Padres finally got on the board in the bottom of the fourth as Denorfia extended his hitting streak to six straight games.
The run was produced by the Padres right field platoon of Venable and Denorfia. Venable drew a lead-off walk and scored from first on Denorfia's double to right center. Denorfia started in left because Carlos Quentin was unavailable a day after being hit on the right forearm above the wrist by a Ronald Belisario pitch.
The Padres highlight was Hundley, who had three singles and a double in four at-bats. The four hits equaled Hundley's career high. Denorfia, Alonso and Cabrera had two hits apiece.
The Padres mounted a rally in the eighth on back-to-back one-out singles by Denorfia and Alonso. But rookie Jedd Gyorko lined out to Matt Kemp in center and Crawford made a diving catch of a sinking Mark Kotsay drive to left.
Kotsay's appearance as a pinch-hitter for second baseman Alexi Amarista created an unusual situation for the infield-short Padres in the ninth. Black had already deployed Cody Ransom and Jesus Guzman as pinch-hitters.
To fill Amarista's spot, first baseman Alonso opened the ninth at second, playing the position for the first time in his major league career while Kotsay stayed in the game at first. Later in the inning, Alonso moved to third, where he made his second major league appearance. He then moved back to second.

An Ohio Contractor Rebuilds After Identity Theft
It should have been just another trip to Lowe's for Don Brown. When his corporate credit card was turned down at the register, the self-employed contractor discovered that his credit card company had frozen the account due to potentially fraudulent activity: Someone had spent $700 at a deli, then tried to take an $8,000 cash advance. Brown had fallen victim to serious identity theft and would spend several months—and lose nearly three weeks of work—trying to clean up the mess.
Fortunately, Brown had purchased identity theft coverage through his insurer just one month earlier. "As an agent you get very nervous for your client and hope your policy is going to respond the right way to a circumstance like that," said Joe Schauer of the Schauer Group, Brown's insurance agent. Schauer had no reason to worry: Brown's provider offered CyberScout's services.
CyberScout fraud investigator Maria Valenzuela began stomping out fires that popped up daily on more than 16 accounts: a successful $15,000 wire transfer from Brown's business account; an attempt to cash checks from both business and personal accounts; and credit applications approved by several retailers, including a jewelry store and Home Depot, where the thieves used the entire credit line before returning the purchases for cash.
The stakes grew higher. "I had no idea what was going to happen," Brown said. "They already took $15,000 and got into my other accounts. It went from something small to something huge." The funds stolen through the wire transfer were an advance from a client so Brown could purchase materials for a job; without them, Brown was professionally paralyzed. His reputation and company were on the line. If his business suffered, so did his family.
"Don was the perfect victim," Valenzuela said. "He has a common name, excellent credit and high limits. But Don didn't ask for this. No one does."
Valenzuela immediately placed a fraud alert on his file with the three major credit reporting bureaus and initiated credit monitoring. As Brown watched the credit alerts pop up on his computer—including the thieves' attempt to purchase a car—he and Valenzuela waged a difficult but successful battle. Valenzuela got his cash back, disputed any debt incurred by the thieves and cleared Brown's credit report, allowing him to get back to business and guard his assets.
"We follow up a lot," Schauer said, "and every time we reached out to Don Brown, he felt that CyberScout was right there, acting on his behalf and resolving his claim. It was everything we can ask for as an insurance agent—that the people we partner with respond to our clients in the appropriate way."
"CyberScout protected my children, my family, and my business from identity theft," Brown said. And Valenzuela's work didn't end once the perpetrators were arrested and Brown's credit cleared. She monitored his credit activity for more than a year, reassuring him that she would always be there to step in again if necessary. "They did a lot of damage," Brown said. "Without CyberScout, I wouldn't be sitting here. They would have wiped me out by now."

Barrett's esophagus is when the normal cells that line your food pipe (esophagus) turn into cells not usually found in your esophagus. The new cells take over because the lining of the esophagus has been damaged. The new, abnormal cells are called specialized columnar cells.
It is very rare that someone with this disease will get cancer of the esophagus. But having Barrett's esophagus may raise your risk of having esophageal cancer.
You may get Barrett's esophagus if you have frequent heartburn (gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD, also called acid reflux disease) that lasts for many years. You may also get it if you have swelling of the esophagus (esophagitis). These health problems hurt the lining of your esophagus. This can cause the abnormal cells to take over.
If you have long-term (chronic) heartburn, you are at risk for Barrett's esophagus. You should talk with your healthcare provider.
You are at greater risk of getting Barrett's esophagus if you are:
Each person's symptoms may vary. Some people with Barrett's esophagus have no symptoms. Others have symptoms caused by GERD including:
In some cases, you may not have any symptoms. Or the signs of Barrett's esophagus may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider to be sure.
Your healthcare provider will give you a physical exam. He or she will also do a test called an endoscopy. A long, thin tube (endoscope) is put in your mouth and gently pushed down into your esophagus.
The endoscope has a small camera and tools. Your healthcare provider uses the camera to see the lining of your esophagus. He or she will use the tools to remove a small tissue sample (a biopsy). This tissue sample will be sent to a lab. It will be checked to see if your normal cells have been taken over by abnormal cells.
If you are having trouble swallowing, your healthcare provider may also do an upper GI (gastrointestinal) barium study. This test may show if you have a narrowing (stricture) of the esophagus. This narrowing happens when the damaged lining of the esophagus gets thick and hard.
Your healthcare provider will suggest a care plan for you based on:
Treatment for Barrett's esophagus centers on acid blockers that will also treat GERD symptoms. Barrett's esophagus is usually permanent, but in some people, it may go away.
Your healthcare provider will make a care plan for you. The plan will try to stop any more damage by keeping acid reflux out of your esophagus. Your care plan may include:

Cruise Holidays of Lakeville
(888) 506-5060
An all-inclusive resort can provide the ultimate stress-free vacation. The relaxation begins with budgeting, because the resort's price will include ground transportation, accommodations, all meals and snacks, gratuities, sports and other activities, nightly entertainment, soft drinks and perhaps even beer, wine and mixed drinks. As on a cruise ship, you can expect to pay a bit extra for luxuries such as spa treatments, though some top-end resorts include those in the base price, too. An all-inclusive resort also removes logistical headaches – you know, those "where to go, what to do, how to get there" discussions that can be so exhausting. Once you arrive, there's really no need to leave – everything is right there. All-inclusive resorts can be found around the world, but many are anchored by a tropical beach. The Caribbean offers lots of options for all-inclusive resort vacations: some of the region's first were established in Jamaica, around the North Coast towns of Montego Bay (think championship golf courses with water views) and Ocho Rios (noted for beautiful waterfalls). The Dominican Republic is also known for all-inclusive resorts, especially in the Punta Cana area. On the easternmost point of the island, Punta Cana is where the Atlantic and the Caribbean meet. There are lovely beaches with relatively shallow water for great swimming and snorkeling. There's a terrific selection of all-inclusive resorts along Mexico's Riviera Maya, which begins just south of the vacation capital of Cancun. The turquoise waters cover one of the main attractions: a wonderful barrier reef that provides lots of opportunities to view colorful sea life. If you're looking for a vacation getaway for just you and your sweetheart, you can select an adults-only resort. There are also couples-only resorts that raise the romance level with features like beach cabanas and whirlpool tubs made just for two. If you're looking for a family vacation, many all-inclusives welcome adults and children alike. These resorts may offer day care, supervised kids' pools and play spaces, kid-friendly dining and even special entertainment for the little ones. If you worry that you may get restless in the confines of an all-inclusive resort, worry no more. The staff can arrange tours to places like the quieter South Coast of Jamaica; the ruins of the Mayan walled city at Tulum, Mexico; or the charming beach towns of the Dominican Republic. For assistance in planning your all-inclusive resort vacation, talk with your Cruise Holidays personal travel expert.

The following appeared today as an opinion piece on Al Jazeera English.
Old people are becoming everyone's favourite scapegoat for America's economic woes. Among the growing ranks of self-styled deficit hawks, Social Security and
Medicare are depicted as an intolerable burden to the nation's already crippled
economy, which can only be saved through massive cuts to these so-called old-age entitlement programs. To advance this agenda, proponents of entitlement cuts have attacked not only the programs themselves, but the people who benefit from them – the selfish old folks like myself, who insist upon bankrupting the
country for the sake of their own costly health care and retirement income.
We in the over-65 set have become the present-day equivalent of Reagan's notorious "welfare queens," supposedly living high on the hog at the expense of the taxpayer. According to what I call the Myth of the Greedy Geezer, we lucky
oldsters spend our time lolling about in lush retirement villas, racing our golf
carts to under-priced early-bird dinner specials and toasting our good fortune
with cans of Ensure – all at the expense of struggling young people, who will
never enjoy such pleasures since the entitlement "Ponzi scheme" will collapse
long before they are old.
The fervour for entitlement-cutting remains strongest among conservatives, but these days, even President Obama is taking part, promoting the recommendations of his National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, commonly known as the Deficit Commission (and to its opponents as the Cat food Commission, since that's what old people will be eating when the Commission finishes its work).
The appointed chair of the Deficit Commission, Alan Simpson, is one of the primary promulgators of the Myth of the Greedy Geezer. A former Republican senator from Wyoming who is known for his colourful turns of phrase, Simpson insists that "This country is gonna go to the bow-wows unless we deal with entitlements, Social Security and Medicare." The majority of the people opposed to such cuts, he claims, are "These old cats 70 and 80 years old who are not
affected in one whiff. People who live in gated communities and drive their
Lexus to the Perkins restaurant to get the AARP discount. This is madness."…

Campus aglow with Christmas cheer as semester wraps up
When students see the lights being wrapped around the trees along University Boulevard, they know Christmastime has arrived at Liberty University. During the season, students attend various activities that put them in the holiday spirit and serve as a reminder of the real reason for the season.
The Christmas season kicked off with the fourth annual tree lighting held Nov. 18 in front of Arthur S. DeMoss Learning Center. President Jerry Falwell, Jr. and his wife, Becki, joined the students in the celebration with Christmas carols, hot chocolate, and cookies.
The holiday activities kicked into full gear after a weeklong Thanksgiving break. Dressed in their favorite Christmas attire, students attended a special Christmas Convocation on Dec. 5 in the Vines Center to sing carols with the Campus Band and enjoy comedic skits by faculty and staff.
On Dec. 6, the Student Activities Office offered holiday fun for students at the annual Christmas Coffeehouse at the Vines Center, with this year's theme "A Winter Wonderland." The popular late-night student talent show sold out for the fourth Christmas in a row with more than 6,500 spectators in attendance to see 17 acts and eight student-produced videos. Most of the performances are available for viewing on the Liberty YouTube channel.
The School of Music hosted two concerts at Towns-Alumni Lecture Hall: "Christmas on the Boulevard Concert," featuring the University Chorale, the school's worship choirs, the Chamber Singers, and the Liberty University Symphony Orchestra, and "Lessons and Carols" by the Concert Choir.
Starting Dec. 5, the Department of Theatre Arts debuted "Sanders Family Christmas," a heartwarming play featuring 25 Southern Gospel Christmas favorites. The last performance is Friday, Dec. 13, at 7:30 p.m.
A centerpiece of the holiday schedule is Winterfest, designed to ring in the New Year in spectacular fashion. The action-packed festival on Dec. 30 and Dec. 31 includes two days of spiritually energizing concerts and speakers in the Vines Center, as well as opportunities to participate in a wide range of recreational activities — from snowboarding, tubing, skiing, and skating at the Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre and LaHaye Ice Center to indoor basketball, rock climbing, soccer, and swimming in the LaHaye Student Union, and skateboarding at the Liberty Mountain Skate Park.
Students are wrapping up the semester with final exams this week. The winter intermission begins Friday, Dec. 13, 2013, and the Spring 2014 semester begins on Monday, Jan. 13.

William Holmes PEAT, MARWICK, MITCHELL & CO.
e author uses records from 13th Century English archives to demon-strate the role of auditors to settle disputes between merchants before the Courts.
Once a week, during my lunch hour, I like to walk up Beacon Street in Boston to the Atheneum and spend half an hour on the top floors gleaning the histories stored there for undiscovered frag-ments of early American accounting. During the fall of 1976, the top floors were being renovated so I decided to investigate the base-ment. There I stumbled almost by accident on the publications of the Seldon Society, founded in 1887 "To Encourage the Study and Advance the Knowledge of the History of English Law." The Society publishes annually a volume dealing with a particular aspect of legal history derived from early English archives. The volume published in 1930 was entitled "Select Cases Concerning the Law Merchant A.D. 1239-1633, Volume II, Central Courts," which seemed to offer possibilities to an accounting researcher. I borrowed the volume and spent several interesting evenings back in the middle-ages.
The cases discussed included several involving accounts and au-diting but the prize must belong to the case of Honesti vs. Chartres in the year A.D. 1291, involving as it does, international finance and accounting, with diplomatic overtones, and a fascinating glimpse of early auditors at work in the commercial area. Of particular interest was the use of other merchants — who most likely understood ac-counts — to audit the accounts of merchants involved in a dispute, following closely the practice found in force in Massachusetts in the middle of the 17th century. The legal archives at the State House contain a number of similar examples, although played out on a smaller stage and before less prestigious judges.
The Case of Honesti vs. Chartres
In the year 1291 A.D., Gettus Honesti, a merchant of Lucca, ap-pealed to King Edward of England for redress against Pelegrin, son of Gerardin of Chartres. Gettus claimed Pelegrin had been his duly appointed agent in England for 12 years and had refused to render

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago – Former UMBC track and field athlete and NCAA champion Cleopatra Borel was named the National Association of Athletics Administrations (NAAA) of Trinidad and Tobago Female Athlete of the Year, Sunday evening at the organization's annual awards ceremony. In addition, Borel earned the "Women Open Field" award.
Borel earned the award after recording a season-best shot put of 17.84m (58'6.50"), just .04m short of the top-12 while attempting to earn a spot at the World Championships last year. In July, the Retriever alum and school record holder won gold at the 2013 Central American and Caribbean Championships with a heave of 17.56m (57'7.50").
Borel became the first-ever NCAA champion in UMBC school history when she won the shot put title with a toss of 17.50m (57'5.00") in 2002. During her time with the Retrievers, Borel claimed the school record in the indoor and outdoor (16.44m, 53'1.225") shot put, the weight throw (18.03m, 59'2.00"), and the hammer throw (51.28m, 168'3.00"). In addition, she was a three-time All-American during her time in Baltimore.
Competing unattached from the UMBC team due to expired indoor track eligibility this past weekend, Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) won the 200m dash with a time of 21.28 at the Penn State Relays in University Park, Pa. Following the weekend, Long ranks tenth in the world on the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) top list.
In addition to his win in the 200m, Long also claimed the title in the 60m dash with a meet record time of 6.74 in the event finals. Long entered the finals as the top seed after recording a time of 6.77 in the preliminary round.
Long competed for the Retrievers last season and ranks third in the 200m (21.57) and fourth in the 60m dash (6.86) in the UMBC indoor record book. He was named the America East Most Outstanding Male Track athlete last year at both the conference indoor and outdoor meet. He will rejoin the squad for the outdoor season and attempt to claim the school record in the 100m and 200m dash events in which he currently ranks second (10.39) and third (21.14), respectively, in school history.

Do we know that MBA jobs are categorically filed under "JD Advantage"? If someone gets a JD/MBA at Penn and decides to go into PE, I don't think that's filed under "JD Advantage" for the JD ABA report... is it? Maybe MBB fits under that, but consulting firms hire people with only JDs from like CLS.
If someone goes into PE and they're not acting as a lawyer it gets counted as JD Advantage. No different than the consulting firms or really any other non-attorney job

Okay, so, seriously? Who doesn't have a few fun facts about Brown University Brown University? One of the most prestigious universities in the U.S., Brown is ranked the 15th best college by US News and World Report. Boy does it feel good to be a Brown Bear today. And why not, since the Brown Bears have 35 NCAA Division I sports teams? Their men's soccer team has continuously been one of the 25 top teams in the country. One of my personal favorite perks about Brown is that you also get to take classes at nearby Rhode Island School of Design, also a prestigious school in its own right. Two educations for the price of one? Sign me up, please. And you'll never be lonely at Brown with over 200 student organizations begging you to sign up.
For you lucky seniors who are finally ready to move off campus, the splendors of Providence await you! However, as you know, Providence doesn't have unlimited resources, so start your house hunt soon—apartments go fast. Housing is a wee bit on the pricey side, but creative students always find a way to make it work. For the best deals, look for housing in the spring. We recommend looking for housing on Brook and Cushing Streets, since they are close to Thayer Street. Governor Street and Wickenden Street are also popular.
All jokes aside, Providence in November is a sight to behold. Think quintessential east coast autumn--piles of bright orange and red leaves on the ground, a clear skyline. When you've had your fill of gawking at the scenery, grab a cup of hot apple cider at XO Café XO Café and then skip over to Shark Sushi and Hibachi Shark Sushi for some delicious (and might I add very reasonably priced) sushi. For you big-breakfast eaters, devour pancakes to your heart's content at Julian's, a favorite among students for those Sunday mornin' hangover blues. Or just ramble down Thayer Street for a feel (and a taste) of the town.

Gatorade: The Unreal Final Journey Around the World
*Note: the use of the word "football is used throughout this post, in reference to what Americans call "soccer," and we are sticking to the global term since well … you see the title, don't you?
As you may remember, on May 26 and May 31 at Emirates Stadium in London and Sinatra Park in Hoboken, NJ, respectively, MKTG INC gave an unreal experience to 240 local athletes (http://blg.mktg.com/2014/05/the-real-work-of-gatorade/) to build excitement around the UAW online contest.
The winners were finally announced in June, and we took them on the football trip of a lifetime. Our fabulous winners represented the United States, Canada, England and Brazil. As we got to know them and their guests over our 17-day trip, we all became a second family.
And now … the details!
Bradenton, Florida – Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) at IMG Academy (July 28 – 30)

The boys received full fitness testing, including physical and psychological, with the experts at GSSI. A full report was given to them on their last day, along with the recommended Gatorade formula for them to use moving forward while sweating on the pitch. Of course, all that hard work had to be rewarded, so we had a special guest come and work out with our winners on the last day – none other than USMNT player Graham Zusi!
Graham competed with the boys in a "crossbar challenge" to finish off the session. Our Canadian representative won, and got to keep Graham's boots!
Liverpool, England – Liverpool FC (July 30 – August 1)
Jetlag be damned! After about a day's rest, the boys suited up and made it over to Anfield for a full tour of the stadium, taking in some facts about Liverpool FC's history and hearing insider stories from LFC legend Jason McAteer.
After a quick lunch, we scooted over to Melwood, the official training ground of Liverpool. The Junior U16 coaches ran a highly individualized training session for our winners, with specific instruction on spatial awareness on the pitch. Let me say that again, we were at Liverpool! Training with the pros! You could almost hear the opening chords of "You'll Never Walk Alone" ….

London, England – Arsenal FC (August 2 – 4)
The express train from Liverpool was smooth and luxurious (well, compared to the LIRR), and two hours later we were in London, heading straight for Emirates Stadium. The Emirates Cup was going on during our visit and the boys had VIP treatment with a tour of the facility and then access to a luxury suite to watch the matches. But don't be fooled … London was not all relaxation.
The next morning we woke up to beautiful sunny skies and about 75° F (24° C) temperatures – the perfect morning for a football workout at Battersea Park! The Community Coaches from Arsenal met us and ran the session, focusing on overall fitness and one-on-one drills. We even got our client to join in on the workout, although as a former NFL wide receiver, he gave our winners no shot at the final sprint challenge.

Barcelona, Spain – FC Barcelona (August 4 – 5)
Barcelona was the favorite club among most of our winners, and you can imagine the excitement they felt as we pulled up to Camp On. The boys had the opportunity to train at La Masia with the Barcelona Youth Coach. Fully kitted up in their training attire, the winners were instructed in drills that were team-based with passing and moving as the center of the activity.
Milan, Italy – AC Milan (August 5 – 7)
At AC Milan's training facility, better known as Milanello, we were welcomed with open arms. As soon as we walked in, we were offered an array of Gatorade beverages, biscuits and, of course, espresso.
After a full tour of the grounds and workout facilities, we were served lunch and then bid the boys off to do another set of fitness testing. Different from GSSI, these tests focused on reaction time, plyometrics and balance.
What better way to prepare for a 17-hour flight…
Buenos Aires, Argentina – Boca Juniors (August 8 – 9)
Our last day in Buenos Aires had us training with the Boca Juniors B-Team coach. It was a fantastic session; the boys had the freedom to play some small-sided games against each other with some of the guests joining in.

Rio de Janeiro – Brasil (August 9 – 12)
The final send-off! We had to show these boys we know how to celebrate football!
The first day took us to Maracanã for a Flamengo match, which was high-intensity the whole way through. The crowd and the chants did not stop.Finally, the next day we were off to Granja Comary, the home of CBF.

Our friends in Brazil had a surprise in store for us; they brought in a local Nike academy to have a full-sided match! This is the first time we had the opportunity to play 11 v 11 on the pitch; a real treat, especially since we were again able to involve our guests.

On our last day, we wanted to show the boys local beach culture. Gatorade provided their local experts in the sport of futevôlei, and they ran through a full workout and tutorial. The winners picked it up immediately, and practically owned Copacabana Beach…well, their attitudes said they did anyway ;-)
Overall, it was such an honor to work with Gatorade on such a special project, and communicate the message of putting in real work for an unreal performance. Thanks to everyone who made this program such a success, from the Gatorade clients to the contest champions to all the MKTGers around the globe! Just a reminder to #makeitunreal every day, no matter what you do.
The "Real Work" of Gatorade
This year, Gatorade has been challenging the young football athletes of the globe to show us their real work through an online contest called "Unreal Around the World," in which athletes upload a video of themselves putting in the real work necessary to give a great performance on the pitch. The athletes behind the top five winning videos will win a trip around the world with stops at the top football meccas of the world, such as the Gatorade Sports Science Institute in Bradenton, Florida, London, Liverpool, AC Milan, FC Barcelona, Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires, Argentina), and Rio de Janeiro. To support the contest, MKTG INC is giving a taste of an unreal experience to a few elite footballers in London and New York.
On 26 May 2014, at the esteemed Emirates Stadium, 120 local athletes from academies were invited to take part in a competition that was like no other. Wearing technology that measured their biometric output, the teams were sent out to a divided pitch and started with rotations of small-sided games. Members of the Arsenal tech staff were on the sidelines providing their own assessments via an iPad scoring system. Athletes were awarded extra points for creativity and athletic ability.
Based on their scores from the wearable technology and the iPad scoring system, the top 12 overall players and the top 3 keepers were identified and highlighted in a final challenge of football drills. Drills were measured by time, creativity and accuracy.
The emotion of these athletes was intense; never before have they scored a goal to see a reaction of pyrotechnics, smoke and streamers, all in Emirates Stadium. One of the Arsenal legends, Martin Keown, made an appearance and awarded the top athletes with some words of wisdom and a congratulatory message.
Unreal Around the World will visit the New York area on May 30 at Sinatra Park in Hoboken, NJ.

West Chester University's Department of Criminal Justice offers a broad-based, interdisciplinary program that combines theory with application. Courses that teach applied knowledge complement a solid core curriculum of theory, philosophy, and analysis. The program is designed to fulfill the needs of four categories of students:
The program provides 1) a core curriculum of required courses to ensure a solid working knowledge of the major systems within the discipline; 2) a variety of elective courses that permits students to tailor their academic careers to their professional goals; 3) a venue for the development of critical analysis and communication skills; and 4) practical experience in a criminal justice setting. These primary programmatic qualities advantageously position the successful undergraduate student for entry-level positions in criminal justice agencies or postgraduate studies.
A primary feature of the program is the summer practicum served at a criminal justice agency. It is designed to give the student the opportunity to apply acquired theoretical knowledge and receive direct professional experience in the field.
The Department of Criminal Justice strives to
As a result, graduates will gain knowledge and skills in the following areas:
The Criminal Justice Club (Sigma Tau Omicron) is the local chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association (Lambda Alpha Epsilon). The activities of this organization are open to all students. The Law Society is an organization also open to all students, but may be of particular interest to those students aspiring to law school.
TEAMfit is a program designed for future criminal justice practitioners that encourages students to adopt positive fitness and wellness goals before entering the difficult and sometimes stressful field of criminal justice. The TEAMfit program includes healthy and friendly activities, such as a miles competition, recruit fitness course, and weight-loss competition. The program includes fitness, nutrition and wellness education, and stress management training.
The department also houses the Nu Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma, the National Criminal Justice Honor Society. Nu Beta members participate in a number of educational and social activities throughout the semester, including field trips, research presentations at regional and national conferences, and charitable events.
120 semester hours
* A minimum grade of C is required in all criminal justice and related-area courses. CRJ 300, 387, 400, and 450 must be taken at West Chester University and are not typically transferable from any other college or university.
Enrollment in CRJ 110 and CRJ 210 is open to all students. However, enrollment in most other criminal justice courses is limited to criminal justice majors, criminal justice minors, and to those students who have received special permission from the department chairperson. Also, a grade of C or better is required in CRJ 110 before any other CRJ course may be taken, with the only exception being CRJ 210. Admission to the program is competitive, and enrollment in such restricted courses is no assurance of admission into the major (nor is acceptance into the minor program assurance of future acceptance into the major). Students wishing to change their majors to criminal justice must apply to the department. Evaluation of applications is based on academic performance, writing ability, and other relevant data.
NOTE: This program deviates from the "Anticipated Time for Degree Completion," which is outlined on page 58, since the program requires the completion of requirements that can only be met in the summer.
Students should generally have a GPA of at least 2.5 to apply for admission to the program.
A 2.5 average or better must be earned in the aggregate of lower- and upper-division courses before graduation will be recommended.

If Natalie Gunshannon's claims are true, it's going to make the owners of a McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania look pretty bad.
Gunshannon is suing a golden arches franchisee in Pennsylvania, saying she was required to be paid only through a debit card that charged fees rather than direct deposit as she'd wished. She alleges that some hourly employees made less than minimum wage as a result.
Managers and assistant managers at the restaurant were allowed to get paid via direct deposit, the suit alleges.

For Lori Donald, "it was a chance to visit the future."
Ms. Donald won the grand prize in Perimeter's Science Safari contest, which was held in conjunction with the 2012 Massey Lectures given by Perimeter Director Neil Turok. Last October, Turok travelled from coast to coast, giving five lectures to packed houses in major Canadian cities. The lectures were recorded and broadcast on CBC Radio One's IDEAS program and published in a best-selling book, The Universe Within: From Quantum To Cosmos. All in all, more than a million people caught at least some of the lectures.
Perimeter's Educational Outreach team worked hard to spread the excitement of the Masseys further, hosting a special kick-off event online, visiting each host city before the local lecture to provide presentations to students, and sponsoring the Science Safari contest, which gave away books and Massey Lecture tickets. The Grand Prize in this contest was a trip to see science "in the wild," as it were, at Perimeter and at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland.
Ms. Donald, who works in human resources at the University of British Columbia, was the perfect person to take this Science Safari. "I'm absolutely thrilled," she said during her recent visit to Perimeter. "When I tell other people I won, they [hear] 'Switzerland,' and they think I just won a trip. But I am so excited – I get to see the Large Hadron Collider. I'm fascinated by the inner workings of the universe. I keep seeing these documentaries on, say, quantum physics, and how strangely things work at the quantum level. Well, we are made of these quantum particles, so why do things work at our level so differently than the matter from which we're composed?"
Before heading to CERN, Ms. Donald spent two days at Perimeter, where she lunched with scientists, sat in on a colloquium on gravitational wave physics, and attended a public lecture on the joys of calculus.
"What's wonderful is that scientists will admit that they don't know things," Ms. Donald said. "I have a law background and lawyers never admit that they don't know, so it's refreshing. I was just talking to Dr. Turok about this: how people sometimes get frustrated with scientists, especially theorists, because every few years they come out with something new. People say, 'You said that, and now you say this – you don't know what you're talking about.' But the truth is we just know more now. It's amazing – it's a measure of such exciting progress."
"I love how Perimeter has public outreach, to dispel the idea that it's pie in the sky, a bunch of people sitting around playing with equations all day for no good reason. These people are trying to understand the universe – who knows where that will take us?"
Perimeter congratulates Ms. Donald and thanks all those who entered the Science Safari contest. Stay tuned for our next major public festival – BrainSTEM: Your Future is Now – coming up in the first week of October.

It's Hard to Say Goodbye
When we launched Future Development almost a year and a half ago I didn't anticipate it would take over my life the way it did and right now I feel as if a dear friend was leaving for a different country…. That friend is the Future Development Blog which is changing its host organization from the World Bank Group to Brookings Institution.
It was a difficult decision but as with everything in life change is hard but often for the best; so this is the moment I say goodbye. Since September 16th 2013, the Future Development platform has been the first thing I check and the last every day of the year without exception; and now someone else will be taking over this task.
When we started this project, our firm belief was that countries can only achieve shared prosperity if they develop their policies through evidenced-based conversation with their citizens, so our main purpose with the creation of this blog was to empower all engaged citizens to hold their governments to account more successfully so that they take decisions in poor people's interest and not their own.

Having been forced to cancel its planned Nexus launch event due to the imposing hurricane Sandy, Google has officially unveiled the new LG manufactured Google Nexus 4 smartphone.
Repeatedly rumoured prior to its officially unveiling, the Google Nexus 4 is the latest Google branded smartphone to be announced with the 4.7-inch device running Android 4.2, a new version of Google's popular mobile operating system, that will also fall under the header of Android Jelly Bean.
Announced alongside the Google Nexus 10, a 10-inch tablet that will follow-on from the hugely successful Google Nexus 7, the Nexus 4 is the first Google tagged smartphone to be unveiled since the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
Google Nexus 4 Specs
Not quiet the ground-breaking game changer that has come to be expected from Google Nexus launches, the LG branded Nexus 4 plays host to a more conservative, albeit still impressive collection of innards that are wrapped around the new Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS.
Available in 8GB and 16GB storage capacities, the Google Nexus 4, which does not feature microSD port expansion, boasts a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor alongside an Adreno 320 GPU.
Taking its name from its 4.7-inch display, the Google Nexus 4, which lines up as a slightly larger rival to the iPhone 5, features a 1280 x 768p touchscreen display with a 320 pixels-per-inch image density further bolstering the handset's visual output.
On the entertainment, an 8-megapixel rear-mounted camera features on the Galaxy Nexus follow-on whilst a second, 1.3-megapixel snapper, resides on the handset's fore. Like the market leading Samsung Galaxy S3, the LG Google Nexus 4 incorporates wireless charging capabilities although a separate charging pad is needed to utilise this.

She asked to enter the monastery shortly after refusing to marry, but Leonard Neale wanted her to remain with her family a while longer in the hope of converting them. He also anticipated that her family would oppose her entrance and cut off her inheritance. They even threatened to set fire to the convent. After a few years Neale finally agreed to admit her on the feast of the Guardian Angels, October 2, 1806. Just before she entered, she asked for her mother's consent. Her mother refused. By this time she was 23 years old and there were two other sisters in the family, so she bid them "an eternal adieu." They wept and accused her of abandoning them, and she wept in return, entreating them to abandon her to God. She did not see them again for 13 years, until after she had become Superior, even though they sometimes came to the parlor, and she only did that much out of obedience to her spiritual father, who was then Fr. Clorivière.
When Rigden joined, the monastery was only a few years old, and it only had five or six sisters in it. There was much poverty and hard work, but this excited rather than discouraged the new postulant, and they received her with great joy.

FireVu is a complete solution which can be used in a wide array of challenging environments for a variety of applications, unlike some other detection methods: Aspirating smoke detectors and beam detectors can only be used indoors and struggle with large voluminous areas as they rely on smoke reaching the beam or pipes. Historically they have issues with dusty, dirty environments triggering false alarms or going into a trouble/fault state as filters become blocked, resulting in frequent extra maintenance Thermal imaging cameras are often prohibitively expensive and unless accompanied by an additional CCTV image provide little or no situational awareness, preventing the end user or system operator from being able to identify the true nature of the risk and adopt the most appropriate course of action. Triple IR detectors have a limited range, the greatest of which is listed at 65m. A complete lack of any visual ouput means that any alarm received cannot be verified, with end users or fire authorities unable to assess the situation prior to attendance. Field experience has shown that this technology is susceptible to false triggers as a result of direct sunlight, either if used externally or from nearby entrances when deployed internally. FireVu solves this situational awareness issue through full visual verification, courtesy of the real-time video stream: Draws attention to exactly what triggered the alarm and where in the field of view it is through the use of coloured boxes. Lets you immediately know the size and scale of the fire so appropriate action can be taken. From allowing someone to tackle it with a fire extinguisher to immediately evacuating the building. Provides footage of the incident which will allow for post-event analysis to help determine the cause of the fire. This means processes can be improved and the site made safer in order to ensure there's no repeat incident.
The Taktis product range combines the very latest hardware and software to produce a control and indication system, which is powerful and sophisticated, yet simple to use and understand. Intuitive interface The large graphical touch screen provides a clear, uncluttered and intuitive interface so the end user requires minimal training. Initially configured as a fire detection and alarm system, the flexibility of the Taktis platform is such that it can be re-configured to realise many other control and indication applications, with direct integration into intelligent buildings. Slot variants Available in 4 slot and 8 slot variants, with each slot supporting a 2 loop detection card, the Taktis fire control panel ranges from 2 to 16 detection loops. The generous quantity of sounder circuits, relays and inputs provided as standard can be further increased by the addition of one or mode Taktis I/O plug in expansion cards. The Taktis Network Card allows networking of up to 128 panels and repeaters meaning that Taktis can provide reassurance to all building owners/ operators whether responsible for a small system or a large complex.
The Apollo XP95 Optical Smoke detector uses an internal pulsing infrared LED and a photo-diode at an obtuse angle. In clear air conditions the photo-diode in the XP95 detector receives no light from the LED and produces a corresponding analogue signal. The signal increases when smoke enters the chamber and light is scattered onto the photo-diode. The optical smoke detector has a clear indicator LED which emits red light when the detector is in alarm.
The Badger B15V-1 industrial fire extinguisher is extremely versatile and ready to tackle flammable liquid and electrical fire hazards. It is ideally suited for indoor applications where delicate equipment or processes require a clean extinguishing agent. It's suitable for use on Class B and C fires.

Edwards Signaling E-HD fixed temperature heat detector is an intelligent analogue device that can be configured as either a 135F fixed temperature heat sensor, or a combination rate-of-rise with fixed temperature. The heat sensor monitors the temperature of the air and determines whether an alarm should be initiated. The E-HD heat detector is capable of performing comprehensive self-diagnostics and storing the data. Due to its advanced thermistor technology, the E-HD detector is ideal for sensing fast, flaming fires and for applications where smoke detection is inappropriate. It is particularly well-suited to areas such as laundries and industries where fluctuations in ambient temperature is expected.
The Chubb Novec 1230 fire protection fluid is stored as a liquid and discharged into the protected space as a gas. It puts fires out quickly by a combination of heat absorption and chemical interference with the flame by reaching extinguishing concentrations in ten seconds or less. It does not leave any residue behind, and there is no need for costly clean-up operations. Since the fluid is at room temperature it is unique amongst gaseous agents and it therefore offers compact storage. It is electrically non-conductive and offers a safety margin of up to 100%, which is higher than any other type of clean fire suppression agent. The Novec 1230 fluid has a zero Ozone depletion potential, a Global Warming Potential of just one and an atmospheric lifetime of only five days.

GST I-9102(UL) is an intelligent photoelectric smoke detector that can form part of a fire alarm system via connection to a fire alarm control panel. The detector illuminates to indicate its fire alarm status and transmits a fire signal to the control panel. Using infrared scattering technology, the detector receives very weak infrared light under normal smokeless conditions. If smoke particles enter the chamber, the received light signal will increase by scattering. When smoke density reaches a pre-set level, the detector will sound its alarm. In order to reduce interference and power consumption, the emitting circuit works in pulse mode to prolong the life of IR LED. GST I-9102(UL) smoke detector features: Electronically addressed Built-in microprocessor can store 14 history records Drift compensation, to suit extensive changing environments Self-diagnostic Standard: UL 268
Ansul CD20-1 carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is designed to protect areas where Class B (flammable liquids and gases) or Class C (energised electrical equipment) fires could occur.
