Harvard vs. Cornell
Game Info
Harvard vs. Columbia
The Storyline
The Harvard men's basketball team will close out its home schedule this weekend when it welcomes Cornell and Columbia to Lavietes Pavilion. The Crimson will first host the Big Red on Friday, Feb. 28 before facing off against the Lions Saturday, March 1. Both games will tip off at 7 p.m. and can be seen live on the Ivy League Digital Network.
Prior to Friday's game versus Cornell, Harvard will honor the careers of its five seniors; Kyle Casey, Brandyn Curry, Dee Giger, Tom Hamel and Laurent Rivard. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to help celebrate their accomplishments, which include three Ivy League titles and two NCAA Tournament appearances.
• Harvard enters play this weekend with a one-game lead on Yale in the Ivy League standings. With just four games remaining, including a rematch with the Eli next weekend in New Haven, the Crimson is in search of its fourth straight Ancient Eight title.
• Harvard's 22 wins this year are the third most in program history behind the 26 victories posted by the 2011-12 squad and the 23 triumphs for the 2010-11 team.
• Siyani Chambers, a 2014 Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award Watch List Finalist, was named Ivy League Player of the Week on Monday for a third time this season after averaging 11.0 ppg and 9.0 apg at Penn and Princeton.
• Steve Moundou-Missi registered his first career double-double at Princeton with 11 points and 10 boards.
Last Time Out
Trailing 37-32 with 13:19 remaining, the Harvard men's basketball team outscored Princeton 27-10 the rest of the way to take a 59-47 win at Jadwin Gym Saturday night.
The win was a significant one for the Harvard record books, as it marked the team's first victory at Princeton's Jadwin Gym since 1989. Coupled with Friday's triumph at Penn, it also marks the first time a Crimson team has swept the Penn-Princeton road trip since 1985, and signifies the first time in the 103 year history of the program that a Harvard team has earned a season sweep of both Penn and Princeton in the same year.
Brandyn Curry sparked the comeback effort with a season-high 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting, 3-of-5 from three, with 12 of his points coming after the intermission. Steve Moundou-Missi turned in his first career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, and was a perfect 5-of-5 from the field while adding four blocks. Siyani Chambers contributed 13 points, eight assists and five rebounds.

Harvard has consistently been among the nation's best in the RPI rankings, regardless of which service you follow.
Rank (as of Feb. 24)
Joining Elite Company
At 22-4, Harvard has become the first Ivy League program to reach 20 wins in five straight seasons since Penn did so a record six times from 1970-75. The Crimson's 112 wins during this time, meanwhile, represent the fifth highest win total in Ancient Eight history over a five-year span.
Should Harvard win a fourth straight Ivy League championship this year, it would become the first program to do so since Penn did it from 1993-96.
Players of the Week
Wesley Saunders (Dec. 3, Dec. 9, Jan. 6) and Siyani Chambers (Dec. 23, Dec. 30, Feb. 24) have combined to earn six Ivy League Player of the Week awards this season.
Saunders' eight career player of the week honors are the second most in league history, trailing only Princeton's Ian Hummer and Brown's Earl Hunt who own the all-time mark with nine. Saunders' latest accolade also tied him with Kyle Snowden '97 for the most by a member of the Crimson.
Chambers' three honors give him nine career weekly awards after having been named the conference's rookie of the week six times last year.
Cousy Award Watch List
Siyani Chambers has been named as one of 23 watch list finalists for the 2014 Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award. The annual honor, named for Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtic Bob Cousy, recognizes the top point guards in men's college basketball. The list of 23 watch list finalists will be narrowed down to a final five by early March. The Cousy Award winner will be presented the honor on Championship Monday in Dallas at the Hall of Fame's Class of 2014 Announcement and Press Conference.
Getting Off on the Right Foot
Harvard began Ivy League play with five straight wins, marking the third year in a row the Crimson has begun the conference slate 5-0 or better. The 2011-12 squad owns the program record for best start to the conference schedule at 7-0.
Home is Where the Wins Are
Harvard recently enjoyed a 20-game home win streak at Lavietes Pavilion which spanned from Dec. 1, 2012 to Feb. 7, 2014. At the time, the streak stood as the sixth-longest in the NCAA.
The program record for consecutive home wins stands at 28 games set between Feb. 19, 2010 and Feb. 24, 2012.
Making a Stand
Harvard's defense is shaping up to be one of the best ever under head coach Tommy Amaker. Opponents are scoring just 60.4 ppg, second best in the Amaker era, while shooting 41.0 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from beyond-the-arc, both the lowest totals under Amaker.
Harvard is 11-0 this season when holding opponents to fewer than 60 points, and is 10-0 when opponents shoot under 40.0 percent.
Protecting the Paint
Kyle Casey grabbed nine rebounds against Brown to join Brian Cusworth '07, Matt Stehle '06 and Keith Wright '12 as one of four players in Crimson history to record 1,000 points, 600 rebounds and 100 blocks. Casey currently ranks 17th in program history with 1,192 points, 11th with 623 rebounds and third with 120 blocks.
Pouring It On
Harvard scored at least 80 points in three straight games against Dartmouth, Princeton and Penn, marking the first time the team had done so since February of 2010. The Crimson has scored 80-plus points in at least four straight games nine times in program history, including in 1971-72 when it accomplished the feat six games in a row.
The Crimson averaged 80.7 ppg during this stretch while shooting 56.9 percent from the floor, 59.6 percent from three, and outscoring its opponents by 22.0 ppg.
All-Around Effort
Wesley Saunders' full arsenal of skills was on display against Princeton as the junior led the Crimson in points (24), rebounds (9), assists (7) and steals (3). Saunders shot 9-of-13 from the floor for his fifth 20-point performance of the year while notching his fifth game with five or more assists.
Saunders became the first individual to lead Harvard in points, rebounds, assists and steals since Jeremy Lin '10 did so on Dec. 30, 2009 against George Washington. Saunders has led Harvard in points, rebounds and assists three times in his career.
Stuffing the Stat Sheet
Wesley Saunders, a unanimous All-Ivy League first team selection a year ago, entered the weekend ranked in the Ancient Eight's top 10 in seven categories; scoring (8th, 14.3 ppg), assists (3rd, 3.8 apg), steals (1st, 1.9 spg), blocks (6th, 0.9 bpg), field goal percentage (9th, 47.4 pct.), assist-to-turnover ratio (5th, 1.6), minutes (5th, 33.8 min.).
Top Shot
Laurent Rivard found his shooting touch against Princeton and Penn, making 11-of-17 attempts from deep to average 20.0 ppg for the weekend. Rivard matched his career-high with six makes against the Quakers, while his 11 combined three-pointers represented the highest total over two games of his career.
Rivard's 268 career three-pointers are the most in Harvard history and rank him fourth in Ivy League annals. Rivard also own's Harvard's single-season record, making 80 from long range in 2012-13.
They're On Fire
Harvard shot 71.4 percent (10-of-14) from beyond-the-arc at Dartmouth to set a school record for highest three-point percentage with a minimum of 10 attempts. The Crimson's 65.9 percent performance from the field, meanwhile, was the highest field goal percentage for Harvard under head coach Tommy Amaker.
Harvard won nine straight games overall between Nov. 28 and Jan. 4, the third longest win streak in program history. The Crimson enjoyed a program record 13-game win streak in 1945-46 en route to a 19-3 record and the team's first trip to the NCAA Tournament, and won 10 in-a-row in 1904-05 to finish with an 11-5 mark.
Born to Assist
Siyani Chambers, who entered the weekend ranked second in the Ivy League in assists (4.7), has dished out at least five assists 12 times this season and has dropped eight dimes or more five times. The sophomore boasts 32 career games with five or more assists and has 10 games of eight or more assists, including four double-digit performances.
Moving on Up
Head coach Tommy Amaker, who recently won his 300th career game, continues to move up the ranks of the Ivy League's winningest coaches. Amaker's 134 wins at Harvard are the 13th most in the Ancient Eight since the conference began competition in 1956, while his 63 Ivy League victories rank 14th.
Balanced Attack
Six members of the Crimson scored in double-digits against Fordham; Siyani Chambers (19 pts.), Kyle Casey (17 pts.), Agunwa Okolie (17 pts.), Wesley Saunders (14 pts.), Steve Moundou-Missi (11 pts.) and Laurent Rivard (10 pts.).
Shootout Champs
Harvard defeated Denver, Green Bay and TCU en route to winning the 2013 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. Wesley Saunders was named the tournament's most outstanding player after averaging 14.3 ppg, 8.0 rpg and 4.7 apg, and was joined on the all-tournament team by Siyani Chambers (10.3 ppg, 4.7 apg) and Steve Moundou-Missi (12.7 ppg, 8.3 rpg).
This marked the first tournament title for the Crimson since taking the inaugural Battle 4 Atlantis in 2011, and was the first Great Alaska Shootout title for Tommy Amaker after having also coached in the tournament with Seton Hall (head coach, 1997) and Duke (assistant coach, 1995).
Lock Down
The Crimson held TCU to just 25.0 percent (14-56) shooting in the Great Alaska Shootout championship game, marking the lowest opponent field goal percentage in the Tommy Amaker era. Harvard also limited Brown to 27.3 percent (15-55) shooting and MIT to 27.9 percent (12-43) this year, the second and third lowest totals under Amaker.
Block Party
Evan Cummins recorded six blocks against TCU, setting a new Great Alaska Shootout championship game record. The previous mark of five had been held by Sheldon Williams (Duke, 2003) and Keith Owens (UCLA, 1990).
Hoop And The Harm
Senior Laurent Rivard, who ranks first in program history with 268 career three-pointers, has been fouled 29 times while shooting from beyond the arc. Nine of those fouls have resulted in an and-one.
Join the Club
Seniors Kyle Casey and Laurent Rivard each eclipsed the 1,000-point plateau against Green Bay, bringing Harvard's total number of 1,000 point scorers to 30. Rivard currently ranks 15th in program history with 1,201 points while Casey is 17th with 1,192.
Grand Theft
Harvard recorded double-digit steals in four straight games from Nov. 12 - Nov. 24, matching the longest stretch of double-digit steal performances under head coach Tommy Amaker, and has come away with at least 10 steals in five contests this season.
Blown Out
Harvard picked up lopsided victories versus MIT (79-37) and Howard (76-44), marking the first time under head coach Tommy Amaker that the Crimson has won back-to-back games by 30-plus points. This also marked the first time since January of 2012 that Harvard had allowed fewer than 50 points in consecutive games.
D-ing Up
Harvard's home-opening 79-37 win versus MIT was highlighted by the Crimson's play at the defensive end, which resulted in several noteable statistics;
• Harvard's 42-point margin of victory was the second largest under head coach Tommy Amaker, behind only a 94-51 triumph against Daniel Webster on Dec. 28, 2008.
• The Crimson allowed just 37 points to MIT, marking the third time under head coach Tommy Amaker that an opponent has scored fewer than 40 points (most recent at Yale, 65-35, 1/27/12).
• The Engineers shot just 27.9 percent from the field, which at the time stood as the lowest opponent field goal percentage in the Amaker era.
• Harvard forced 29 MIT turnovers, the most for the Crimson under head coach Tommy Amaker.
• Harvard's 19 steals versus the Engineers were one shy of the program record of 20, which has been accomplished four times (most recent vs. Hartford, 1/30/01).

National Pride
Three Crimson had the honor of representing their country over the summer as a member of their respective national teams; Steve Moundou-Missi (Cameroon Senior National Team), Agunwa Okolie (Canadian Men's Junior National Team) and Laurent Rivard (Canadian Developmental National Team).
In The Spotlight
Twelve of Harvard's 30 games have been picked up for national or regional television broadcasts this season. The Crimson appeared on TV a program record 17 times last season, including a record four televised games at Lavietes Pavilion.
Sold Out
Harvard will play in front of a capacity crowd against both Cornell and Columbia, bringing the team's total number of sell outs this year to seven. Harvard has now sold out 23 games over the last three years, including a record 10 during the 2011-12 campaign.
Home Court Advantage
The Harvard men's and women's basketball teams have combined for a 106-13 record at home in Lavietes Pavilion since 2009-10 while going 56-9 against the Ivy League. The Crimson men are 58-5 (.921) overall, 29-4 (.879) against the Ancient Eight, with the women going 48-9 (.842) overall, 27-6 (.818) in conference. The men's team's run of dominance includes a program record 28-game home win streak that lasted more than two calendar years between Feb. 19, 2010 and Feb. 24, 2012.
On The Sidelines
With 134 victories under his belt, Tommy Amaker ranks third all-time in Harvard coaching annals.
Frank Sullivan, 1991-07
Amaker's .657 win percentage, meanwhile, ranks first among Harvard coaches who have spent at least two seasons at the helm of the team.

Compost -- or humus -- is decomposed or well-rotted organic material, such as vegetable waste, leaves, grass clippings, and livestock manure. This crumbly, soil-like material improves soil texture by increasing the drainage of heavy clay soils and the water and nutrient retention of light, sandy soils.
To get started, choose a spot. Find a place for your compost that's convenient to your kitchen or garden and has well-drained soil. Although not required, a wire, wood, or plastic container keeps your compost pile looking neat and prevents animals from scattering food scraps. Choose a 3- to 4-foot-wide container that comes apart easily and allows plenty of airflow through to its contents.
Tools and Materials
Add a Brown Layer. Lay a 4-to 6-inch-thick layer of brown material on the bottom. Carbon-rich dried grass, peat moss, straw, shredded leaves, and other brown plant material make a good base for the pile.
Moisten. Dampen the bottom layer so that it's moist but not soggy. The moisture will help acccelerate the decomposition process by providing the right environment for microbes to break down the material.
Add a Green Layer. Make a second, 2-to 4-inch-thick layer of nitrogen-rich green materials, such as fresh grass clippings or vegetable kitchen scraps. Alternate adding layers of brown and green material until the pile is 3- to 5-feet high (or container is full). Moisten each layer before adding the next.
Cover the Bin. Once all the layers are in and moistened, cover the bin to prevent animals from getting inside or wind from blowing loose material away. During rainy periods, you can cover the top of the bin with a rain-proof tarp to prevent the pile from getting too wet.
As the material begins to decompose, the pile heats up, but not evenly. To ensure that all materials break down, mix the pile and keep it moist. After the center heats up and then cools down (after one to several weeks, depending on the time of year and size and composition of the material), turn the pile. Use a garden fork or shovel to mix the contents, blending the inside and outside materials. Repeat turning the pile once or twice. The compost is ready to use when it's dark and crumbly ? usually in a month or two.
Place open-bottom compost containers on a sheet of galvanized wire hardware cloth to prevent rodents from burrowing into the pile.
Avoid adding herbicide-treated grass clippings, meat scraps, pet feces, perennial and seed-bearing weeds, and diseased plants to your compost pile.
If you don't have enough green material for your pile, add a few cups of fertilizer such as cottonseed or alfalfa meal instead.

I'm making a game with a dungeon setting in Unity 3D. Many torches line the walls. I'm using a point light over each torch to simulate the flame. However, when two torches are across from each other, and one goes above the 1.85 range, the other disappears completely, giving off no light.
What might be causing this?

text: A couple of weeks ago, my brother came over and I had him bring his end-grain cutting board with him for a tune up. I ended up sanding it down a bit and oiling it up for him, but it took me way too long and got me to thinking about sanding kit and equipment. I used to live a lot abroad so I never was able to accumulate wood working tools, but I would like to get some basic materials to handle knife-related chores. Here are some of the tasks I would like to do: (1) Re-surface cutting boards that may be damaged, old etc. (2) Round the spine on blades (3) Buffing/polishing/refinishing scratched or abused blades Does anyone have suggestions on some good sanding kit/equipment, micro-meshes, paper etc. to get these jobs done. I have nothing, so all ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance. k.

Product Description
Deacidification of palm oil refining machine :This part adopt alkali refining method, that is use alkalis lLD (NaOH) to neutral the free fatty acid in oil, during this process it will produce soapstock , then separated from the oil by setting several hours. NAOH solution, not only neutral free fatty acid, also can act with other matters lLD protein, mucus, phospholipid, pigment. After settling, release the soapstock from the tank bottom. Adding hot water to rinse, remove off the leftover lye , soap and some unhydrated phospholipid in the oil. Finally pumping out soapstock from the tank bottom.
In normal situation , there is pigment in the crude oil , we need to using the active clay to absorb thepigment away , after 20 mins , we use the vibrating filter to filter the waste clay away . If you want to get ligLD color oil , you need to add more active clay . That is mean , the customer can accord to hisrequirement to control the oil color. This process is carried out under the vacuum condition.
Deodorization and Dehydration of palm oil refining machine :Usually ,there are some odors in the crude oil , it affects the quality of the edible oil . About our refining process , we usually use the direct steam to take odors away in the vacuum condition . General speaking there is about 0.5% water in the alkali refined oil, in the deodorization pot, thetemperature is very high , it also can finish the dehydration section.

Details of pre-treatment plant
a. Cleaning device:remove the raw material peanut in various impurities, such as: iron,
stones, clump, such as the plant leaf, clean up till impurity content does not exceed 0.2%.
b.Crushing machine: peanut is crushed into 6-8 pieces. In order to meet the requirements
of crushing, the peanut is suitable for crushing with the moisture of 7% to 12%.
c. Softening process:the purpose of softening is to adjust the moisture and temperature
of oil, and make it soft.
d.Flaking process: rolling raw material into flakes, and the purpose is to increae surface
area, destroy the peanut cell tissue, shorten the way of oil out from cake.
e:Cooking process: use steam cooking, inject direct steam and cook the flakes to meet the
requirement of oil press.
f.Pre-press:press the flakes to leave about 16%-18% in the cake. The cake will go to extraction
g.Second oil press:Press the cake till the oil residue is about 5%.

Degumming and deacidification:The gumming is moved by phosphoric acid and hot water. There are two ways to move the acid in the edible oil. One is chemical way, the other one is physical way.
The chemical way is using NaOH to react with acid.
This way is suitable for the capacity of 5-30T per day.
The physical way is using steam and centrifugal to move the acid.
This way is used for capacity from 30-2000T per day.
Decolorization:This step is used to adjust the color of the oil. You can control the color of the edible oil according to the requirement of your market.
Deodorization:The function of this step is to move the special smell in the oil. This is an important standard for refined edible oil.

Best 5 Hunting Flashlight for 2017
The air is still sound, the night gets older, and you head for the forest to hunt in the morning.
You end up preparing your gear, the gun is slung over your shoulder, and after a few steps into the brush, your flashlight is on the fritz.
Pack up and go home early because there are no flashlights which means no hunting trips.
Wandering in the dark to climb a tree or find your land blind is almost impossible without light penetrating the darkness in the morning.
The scenario sounds funny when you're not a loser in your hunt.
The unfortunate fact is, most likely someday you will become a man with a broken flashlight.
Flashlight hunting takes a beating from traipsing around via a brush. They fall, wet, and are generally tortured every time you use them.
Choosing a high quality flashlight is essential for any successful hunting trip.
Want to replace the old flashlight? Take a look at our best 5 hunting torches for 2017.
The first light that made our list was the Xtreme Bright Escape Tool. For under $ 20 you can get good quality LED lights, and multitool.
We should not tell you how useful multi-tool tools are when something goes wrong in the middle of your hunt.
Multi Xtreme tool equipped with screwdriver, ice pick, and utility knife. Light features both normal and SOS modes.
This is not the best light on the market, but the knife itself makes the shortcomings.
Do not want to collect a milled blade that cuts a tree branch? No problem, Xtreme bright ensures you do not have to.
Fenix TK47UE Duty's Tactile Flashlight less walks to your tree to stay bright, and more about finding your killing after the incident.
This light produces 3200 very large lumens, making it suitable for following the blood path.
Light modes range from eco, low, medium, and turbo mode. Realistically, turbo setting will illuminate the fierce forest.
Fenix TK47UE is made of aircraft grade aluminum with a hard-anodized anti-abrasive coating.
Bottom line, you will not damage this flashlight.
SOLARAY PRO ZX-2 Professional Series Flashlight
This flashlight builds our list for all its performance. It does not specialize in anything specifically, but checks all the right boxes.
At 1200 lumens, the color is quite bright. The LED lights also help provide extra edges that sharpen wood at night.
Solaray Pro ZX-2 also offers high durability with an aircraft-grade aluminum body.
Our favorite aspect is the small size and lightweight rechargeable battery.
If you remember to charge him every night (get used to carrying goods in it), you will never worry about buying more batteries.
Storm Storm Black
Our first headlamp on the list, Black Diamond Storm, is the ideal field in light clothing.
If you have ever destroyed an animal before, and if you read this you may have, you will know that holding light and using your knife is frustrating.
The headlight lights on this flashlight make it perfect for solo hunting where you end up hoping to have more hands.
The convenient powertap technology also offers brightness adjustment with simple finger tapping.
And do not worry about the brightness. 160 lenses quite a lot of light to get close and familiar with your game.
Olight M2X Javelot
Our last flashlight is Oavel M2X Javelot.
This light has the advantage of a large head for a great light throw, while the lumens are low enough to be used without frightening the wildlife.
The tin cap switch on the flashlight is replaced with a remote pressure switch, so dimming is as easy as possible.
This lamp also features a practical memory function to keep your brightness level on the settings of your choice.
Red, blue, and green filters are also available for enhanced night vision.
Choosing the best hunting flashlight may be important to ensure you are never without light in the dark forest.

Hey everyone, I feel badly that I haven't added any updates here for a while so I thought I'd post a preview of this little painting I just started tonight. A few people have been requesting more Sailor Moon fan-art for a while now so I thought I'd finally start a new one. I thought for this next fan-art piece that I'd paint Chibiusa, aka Rini. Pretty happy with the way it's coming along - really looking forward to detailing her hair and eyes next! Another idea I have for a future fan-art piece is possibly the wedding scene, Wicked Lady, the other scouts or Sailor Cosmos, what do you guys think? I'm painting these fan-art pieces mostly for all of you other fans out there and would like to hear your input as to what you'd like to see. :)
Currently I have so many works in progress waiting to be finished. It's not always easy choosing which ones to finish, especially when I am always getting new ideas and inspiration for other new paintings. Life and other work also gets in the way of painting but I do actually have two or so paintings that are almost finished which I hope to upload soon.
I'd also like to let you guys know that some of my artwork is going to be featured in an upcoming issue of ImagineFX! I will post another update about it soon around the time the issue comes out.
Hope you all like this little work in progress and thanks for your visit! :D

What's Old Is New Again in X-Men Blue #1
Marvel wants to give you the blues, but in a good way.
Last week we had something old in X-Men Gold #1, with the veterans of the currently in-continuity corner of the Marvel Universe. I dare say, if you've read that single issue yet that they also gave you something borrowed (e.g. the name of the central villain). This week Marvel wants to bring you something new and something blue, in X-Men Blue #1. How successful are they? That's for you, dear readers, to decide.
The time-displaced X-Men originals are launching a new chapter of their own adventures. If you've been looking to see the classic X-Men team of the Lee and Kirby kicking bad guys in the face front and center here's your opportunity. Marvel Girl leads Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, and Angel in this first issue establishing old and new threats to the original Fab Five. However, how will this team of old school X-Men deal with their new mentor, their formerly sword enemy, Magneto! If you've been following the Master of Magnetism's journey over the last few years you get a sense that there're going to be a lot of clashes right from the get-go. Will this team be broken before it can truly function together?
In the wake of Inhumans Vs. X-Men, this is going to be the team you lean on for a note of nostalgia and, Marvel seems to hope, a way to bring younger readers a taste of something that feels fresh. Since retro's a thing that I'm told's mostly "in" these days, this would appear to be Marvel's way of reaching out to that demographic. Can you put a new shine on a classic line up? Will there be enough new and enough familiar in a perfect recipe of easy to digest comic adventures? We're going to find out this New Comic Book Day when X-Men Blue #1 hits shelves.
Cullen Bunn is no stranger to Magneto or tackling complex villains and delicate group dynamics. Will he, along with explosive artists Jorge Molina and Matteo Buffagni, bring us the next renaissance of X-Men stories? We have to read to find out.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- A slim majority of the U.S. public says President Obama and Republicans will not find a way to avoid the "fiscal cliff," a poll released Tuesday indicated.
While 51 percent of those surveyed by the Pew Center for People & the Press and The Washington Post said there will be no agreement by the Jan. 1 deadline, only 38 percent predicted there would be one. The Republicans, who control the House, the Democrats, who have a majority in the Senate, and President Obama must agree on a deficit-reduction plan to avert a package of automatic across-the-board spending cuts and tax hikes that will total hundreds of billions of dollars.
More than half of respondents -- 53 percent -- said Republicans in the House are more responsible for the situation, which many fear would plunge the nation back into recession if not carefully resolved, than Obama. Only 29 percent blamed the president.
There were sharp partisan differences. Republicans were less optimistic about an agreement by a 66 percent to 25 percent, and 68 percent said Obama would be responsible.
Among Democrats, 47 percent predicted an agreement and 40 percent did not, while 85 percent said Republicans should take the blame. More than half, 51 percent, of independents do not expect an agreement, while 37 percent do not, and 53 percent said they would blame Congress.
More than half, 62 percent, said the cuts and tax hikes would be bad for the U.S. economy, and 60 percent said it would hurt them personally. But only 26 percent said they understand exactly what would happen.
Pew interviewed 1,000 adults by telephone Nov. 8-11. The margin of error is 3.7 percentage points for the whole sample, ranging up to 7.1 percent for Republicans among sub-groups.

Someone asked me the other day if I was happy.
My first reaction was to say "of course I am happy"; as it seems that there is a good deal of pressure in America to be happy.
If you are not happy, then by golly you better get happy. If you must, go see a counselor, adviser, or therapist (depending on your HMO), take a happy pill, how about some retail therapy, or do something, but don't sit around being unhappy; unless doing that makes you happy. I am more inclined toward the later.
Really, when you think about it, America was founded upon the principle of happy. The Declaration of Independence clearly ranks happiness up there with not dying and not being locked up in jail; which I fully support.
Apparently, Thomas Jefferson thought we had the right to pursue happiness (when he wasn't busy pursing Sally Hemings) as he wrote "they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Of course it is important that we recognize that we are not entitled to happiness, only the pursuit thereof. So an American has a certain amount of pressure to be happy or at least pursing it. We went to war and gained our independence just so we could pursue happiness.
This is tough if you are inherently moody, grumpy, mean, ornery, or chemically imbalanced, which sometimes I am probably all of these at the same time. Certainly, some of my friends and relatives are.
My too kind and loving wife never is; she is either happy or very happy…or taking a nap. Turbo never was grumpy either, although sometimes he lacked the energy to demonstrate his enthusiasm.
Adding to this problem is that everyone has a different definition of happy. So if I think I am happy, am I really happy? The last self-help book I read, and I read them all, told me that I wasn't really happy, that I only thought I was happy and for a mere $15.99 they would send me a CD that would guarantee that I would be happy. The CD was a bunch of monks chanting which really didn't make me happy.
This is America, where in 1964 Harvey Ross Ball invented the "Smiley Face". First, with a name like that, how could he be happy? And besides that, he invented it for an insurance company and was only paid $45 for it, which is all he ever received for it as he did not copyright it.
I'll bet that didn't make him happy. And how can anyone use "insurance" and "happy" in the same sentence? The Smiley Face almost puts a pressure on us to be happy. There it is staring at us, taunting us, demanding that we be happy.
Think of all the famous smiles. According to a art historian, the coy Mona Lisa smile represents a, "visual representation of the idea of happiness. Leonardo made this notion of happiness the central motif of the portrait."
What about Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat in Alice In Wonderland? The last thing that disappears is the cat's smile. Isn't that odd? When Alice asks why he is grinning, the Duchess replies, "It's a Cheshire cat and that's why.'' I feel the same pressure, I am American and that's what we do, we smile.
How many times have you heard the sage advice, "Grin and bear it." It doesn't matter that social security is going to be broke, that the housing market has collapsed, that Wall Street has stolen all our money and then paid big bonuses to the crooks; we are supposed to be pursuing happiness.
So everyone straight away better be for getting happy. Although, some countries apparently don't value individual happiness as much as us American's do. But, if you have migrated to America, legally or not, you better be pursing some happiness.
They have done studies and people that use metrics, (they are probably not happy because they are studying metrics) have come up with enough statistics to show what happy people do and where they live. One of the happiest places in the world is the Netherlands. I point out that prostitution and marijuana are both legal there; but do not offer an opinion if there is a cause and effect relationship.
So here I am trying to be happy. I am probably one of those that aren't really happy unless I am unhappy. This is probably leftover guilt from my upbringing, where teachers always tried to "wipe that smile off my face".
My entire upbringing was that way; if it feels good, stop it. If it tastes good, don't eat it. If you're having too much fun; just remember all the suffering in the world. So I am conflicted …and should probably contact an adviser, counselor, or therapist (depending on my HMO).
I don't know whether to feel happy or guilty or just feel happy because I feel guilty.

Wireless Alarm Systems
One of the most popular do-it-yourself home security solutions is the installation of a wireless alarm system. Affordable and easy to install, wireless systems are highly recommended to anyone who wants to avoid drilling into walls or who wants to bypass complicated wiring instructions without compromising security. We are pleased to offer a vast array of wireless alarm systems-- among the most popular being Qolsys, Honeywell, DSC, Interlogix, and 2GIG.
Not only are wireless alarm systems ideal solutions for those who wish to skip a more labor-intensive installation process, but they offer security for places where a hardwired system is not practical. Such includes structures where hardwired systems are not an option due to factors like brick or concrete walls, or even structures with tile flooring or a lack of attic space-- all which limit options for wiring installations. Wireless alarm systems, on the other hand, can be installed just about anywhere.
Using the latest technology, wireless systems also offer reliable security. While a hardwired system is still recommended for large properties, a wireless alarm system offers strong security for medium-sized homes and office spaces.
Wireless alarm systems are also completely expandable. The kits that we offer include key security components like contacts, motion sensors and keypads, and more of these can be added at any time as needed. Homeowners can also expand systems to include GSM modules, which allow the system to interact with a home owner's mobile device, such as a smartphone or a tablet, by sending a text message or email whenever certain events occur while the system is armed, such as a door or a window being opened, or whenever the system has been tampered with.

BOSTON, MA --Mount St. Mary's men's basketball coach Jamion Christian has been named a finalist for the 2013 Joe B. Hall award, which is presented annually to the top first-year coach in Division I college basketball.
The ten finalists, which were announced Thursday, include Kevin Baggett (Rider), Jamion Christian (Mount St. Mary's), Mike Martin (Brown), Bashir Mason (Wagner), Dan Muller (Illinois State), Kevin Ollie (Connecticut), Jack Perri (LIU-Brooklyn), Richard Pitino (FIU), Nick Robinson (Southern Utah), Travis Williams (Tennessee State).
The award is named in the honor of Joe B. Hall who was given the task of following the legendary Adolph Rupp. In his first season at the University of Kentucky, Hall finished 20-8, won the SEC and advanced to the NCAA Regional Finals.
From 1972 to 1985 Hall would win two-thirds of his games (297-100), receive four SEC Coach of the Year honors and win a National Championship (1978). Along with the 1978 title, Hall also guided Kentucky to a runner-up finish to UCLA in the 1975 NCAA tournament, a Final Four appearance in the 1984 NCAA Tournament and an NIT championship in 1976. He won 8 Southeastern Conference regular season championships and one Southeastern Conference tournament championship (1984).
Hall is one of only three men to win an NCAA championship as a player (1949- Kentucky) and coach (1978- Kentucky). The only others to achieve this feat are Bob Knight and Dean Smith.
The 2013 recipient will be announced on April 5 at the CollegeInsider.com awards banquet in Atlanta, site of the men's NCAA Basketball Championship.

The Tour of Duty, a group of 24 Australian and American military, firefighters and police riding bicycles across the United States to honor those who serve our nations, will stop at Jayco Inc.'s Middlebury, Ind., campus Thursday (Aug. 30).
According to a press release, Jayco is one of the main sponsors for the ride, which started from the USS Midway in San Diego on Aug. 12 and will finish in New York on Sept. 10. Jayco has donated the use of two motorhomes, a Seneca and a Greyhawk, for the Tour of Duty to use as support vehicles along their journey.
"We are proud to get behind such a great cause." said Derald Bontrager, president of Jayco. "Those that serve our country continuously carry out selfless acts of courage and deserve the respect and admiration that this ride represents."
In 2010, Australian and American firefighters and police united for a relay run across the United States from Los Angeles to New York, where Jayco also donated the use of two motorhomes as support vehicles. Since then, the Tour of Duty became an event of "great magnitude and pride," according to the release.
As a cycling event for the first time, the 2,600-mile ride comprises of 20 stages across the United States. The ride pays tribute to the hundreds of people who responded to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., and to those who continue to serve in the fight for security and peace. Funds raised along the way will support the Wounded Warrior project and the New York Police and Fire widows and childrens fund.

Keeping it fresh
Not much needs to be said about these shots of Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson in New York yesterday. They met up on a street corner, they were thrilled to see each other, he kissed her enthusiastically, then they went for lunch and couldn't stop being f-cking cute. Right?
Joshua has just wrapped on Season 3 of Fringe and received some good news early too – the show has been picked up for a full 4th season so it's another year of employment and a steady paycheque and yes, they have to worry about that too. European summer? Diane and Josh usually travel pretty low key, but she almost always makes a stopover in Cannes during the festival too. Will keep you posted.
As for your questions about their rings – I've written about this already, and the answer is still the same, click here for a refresher on the subject. One more note on this issue – many Europeans wear wedding bands on their right hand. But whatever, ring or not, married or not, they are together, they've been together, they're so into each other, what difference does it make either way???

Algeria mounted spirited attacks through Zohra Bensalem and Tsabet, but Japan held their lead with contributions from Megumi Kurihara and the captain, Erika Araki. Ai Yamamoto helped out with four points in the set, including a powerful serve that found its mark to make it 22-14. Japan cruised from there and, after Safia Boukhima fought off one set-point, the hosts took it at 25-18.Japan didn't give an inch in the second set either, with five unanswered points including a pair of aces from the 1.52m Yoshie Takeshita. Japan reached 11-1 before Algeria's Lydia Oulmou broke the run with a spike, but Kurihara kept Japan's momentum up, dropping an ace at the feet of Tsabet. Sakoda continued to fire on all cylinders with two consecutive bombs that made it 18-4, and her high-flying running spike helped Japan clinch the second set 25-7.Strong serving by Kurihara in the third put Japan out in front at 9-3. Kaori Inoue, who had been rested for the first two sets, then jumped in with a powerful spike to make it 15-8. Kimura, who was also sparingly used, took over at the end with a pair of spikes to close out a wonderful performance, 25-14 against an Algerian side that struggled to deal with Japan's power and combinations.

Pain persists: Financial, domestic woes worsen after settlements for back injuries
Financial and domestic problems for workers -- particularly those who are African-American, have lower incomes, or are younger than 35 -- get progressively worse in the years after they have settled claims for painful, on-the-job back injuries, a new Saint Louis University study finds. "There are many casualties in the current system. Those casualties can leave people worse than we previously believed, and at a cost to society that appears pretty high. Our research shows those who are African-American, at lower income levels, young or all of the above have the greatest problems, and these problems escalate over time," said Raymond Tait, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry at Saint Louis University School of Medicine and lead author of the research that appeared in the August issue of Spine.
"Regardless of the settlement that you receive, if you continue to experience pain, our findings indicate you will often get worse over time – worse in ways that can lead to the loss of a home, lead to family disruptions, and even lead to divorce."
In the latest of 18 grant-funded articles about work-related back injuries, Tait and his colleague, John Chibnall, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry at Saint Louis University, analyzed court records of 1,475 African-Americans and non-Hispanic whites who settled Missouri workers' compensation claims in St. Louis City and County, and Jackson County, which includes Kansas City.
They examined 10 years of court records – spanning five years before claim settlements and five years after -- to study the impact of claim settlement on major life disruptions.
Those disruptions were reflected in court records related to cases such as breach of contract, child support, adult abuse, stalking, divorce, foreclosure and eviction. They found that members of all groups they studied were involved with significantly more financial and domestic court actions after their settlements than before.
"These kinds of judicial activities are not trivial," Tait said, "but reflect substantial problems in order to find their way into court. Consequently, each incident represents a significant stressor that the worker encountered."
African-Americans experienced more long-term financial and domestic duress than non-Hispanic whites, Tait said. Not only did they face disproportionate increases in financial difficulties, but those difficulties escalated over time.
The findings indicate previous research that took a short-term view of outcomes for those who had workers' compensation settlements for back injuries underestimated the magnitude of the difficulties ahead, particularly for younger and African-American workers. The pattern reinforced a sobering disparity revealed by the team's previous research: African-Americans received less treatment and had poorer outcomes than non-Hispanic whites.
Workers who were younger than 35 also had significantly more financial problems than those who were middle-aged and older. Younger workers had three times more financial legal actions than those between 35 and 55, and five times more than those older than age 55.
"These results raise particularly ominous questions for the younger age group, as they suggest that financial duress will likely continue beyond the time frame of this study," Tait said. "To the extent that such financial problems reflect lost productivity and lower wage-earning capacity, the potential long-term costs to society also are considerable. Those costs further escalate if the picture is expanded to include potentially higher health care and wage replacement costs that this younger cohort may require in the years to come.
"Taken together, the pattern of results raises ethical, medical and legal questions regarding the social justice implications of the current workers' compensation processes," Tait said.
"The current mechanisms that inform the administration of workers' compensation systems clearly merit further attention."

Will be announced after April 2017
To download Yoga Camp Brochure click here
The Lonavala Project - Our Dream Project
We have a dream in our hearts and we are going to fulfill it as we are sure that a beautiful and healthy tomorrow will rise from it. Our dream is to set up our own centre at Lonavala which will also be our base and this will be set up to conduct residential and long term courses. The proposed project site comprises of approximately 5 acres (20300 sq ft) located at Apti village, Maval district which is ten kilometers from Lonavala which is a popular hill station about 130 kilometers from Mumbai. Click Here to download the Project Report (5.17 MB).
What Our Dream Has in Store – Our Aims
· To create a world class centre for homeopathic education, research and clinical work.
· Homeopathic Research and Charities plans to have an in-patient hospital and health care centre, where several kinds of holistic healing will be used in tandem with Homeopathy.
· Special courses and seminars will be conducted for the students and practitioners.
· Fully residential, cost effective courses will be available year round and this will be a salient feature of the centre.
· Other natural health sciences like yoga, meditation, music and naturopathy will be incorporated in the treatments.
· There is a plan to grow selectively certain plants for observations and research.
· Clinical training under world renowned homeopaths, live cases, discussions and analysis and remedy selection, follow up assessment in the indoor patient department will be done on regular basis.
The centre would have the following facilities:
· Accommodation for 150 people at a time.
· Two well equipped auditoriums that can seat 500 people.
· Audio-visual equipment along with translation facility.
· Consulting Rooms.
· Rooms for alternative systems of medicine like yoga and meditation.
· Pharmacy, pathology laboratory and library.
· Kitchen and dining rooms in the premises.
The Estimate
The Lonavala Project is now underway and has been cleared by the concerned authorities for the construction of approximately 20,000 sq ft with the permission to draw water from the nearby Pavana Lake. Construction work already began in January 2009 and so far the basic infrastructures like water tank and electrical power lines have been installed. Water will also be collected from small streams for use at the site and for this a retaining wall cum bridge has been constructed. At this point, all the completed work on the site costs around Rs 40 lakhs (US$85000) . The Estimated cost for the whole project is Rs 6 Crores (US $1.3 million).
Our major source of funds has been our own reservoir of money. This has been possible as none of the teachers charge any fees for the charitable events and seminars.
Apart from this we have also been fortunate to get some help from patients and other donors who are supporters of Homeopathy and believe in our mission and work.
An appeal to you
However for the project at Lonavala, we would be requiring some more funds as our existing funds are not enough to make our dream into a reality. We have a lot in plan and without your kind and timely involvement; these plans may not see the light of day. Therefore, this is an appeal to you to help us in our endeavors and our project so that the benefits of Homeopathy can reach so many. Our conviction and dedication will never change and your generous help will help us go a long way in providing this patient oriented medical care to people.
Ours is a completely non profit making charitable organization. Any money donated to HRC is exempt from tax according to Section 80-G.

IRVINE, Calif., March 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SurgiCount Medical, Inc., the wholly owned operating subsidiary of Patient Safety Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:PSTX), today announced that Michael Roux has joined the Company in the position of Vice President of Product Management.

He was also responsible for the overall global leadership of strategic and downstream marketing efforts, clinical education, sales training, and clinical research.

Stewart, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Surgical Adverse Events and Retained Surgical Sponges
Surgical never events are costly to the health care system and are associated with serious harm to patients1. Retained foreign bodies are estimated to represent up to 49.8% of all reported surgical never events1 with surgical sponges representing the vast majority of items unintentionally retained2. Estimated to occur as often as 1 in every 1,000 to 1,500 abdominal operations to 1 in every 8,000 in patient operations2, with an estimated 32 million surgical procedures annually in the U.S. this implies approximately 4,000 retained sponge incidents each year, 11 every day. The negative impact to patient outcomes from retained foreign objects varies and can be significant, with permanent injuries in an estimated 16% of incidents and patient mortality in 5%1. Cost ramifications can be considerable and include legal expenses and awards, non-reimbursable healthcare services, loss of time, loss of reputation for involved individuals and facilities and the negative impact on pay for performance metrics.
About Patient Safety Technologies, Inc. and SurgiCount Medical
Patient Safety Technologies, Inc., through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary SurgiCount Medical, Inc., provides the Safety-Sponge® System, a solution clinically proven to improve patient safety and reduce healthcare costs by helping eliminate retained surgical sponges.
