Arsene Wenger was in feisty mood ahead of the Community Shield this weekend.
The Gunners faced the press with Manchester City awaiting on Sunday at Wembley.
And with the upcoming Premier League season only just over the horizon too there was plenty to chew over as he faced the media at the Emirates.
Thomas Vermaelen, Theo Walcott, the title race and Frank Lampard's loan move all got an airing in an entertaining press conference.
Here's what we learned:
Vermaelen could join Manchester United:
"I said since the start of pre-season that it could happen that Thomas leaves us. He needs to play now.
"He had an outstanding attitude and behaviour but he is in a position where it is difficult to stand in his way if he finds an interesting opportunity. We never speak about the price. I sat down with him and we talked about his future.
"Ideally, yes, [we would sell him abroad]. It is an option. I don't want to tell you how many clubs but we have offers from abroad as well."
When quizzed on whether Manchester United are one of the clubs who've bid for him: "They are in the group."
The squad will remain the same as last weekend:
"We are not ready physically but it's a good test - and exciting for us to go back to Wembley.
"The squad is completely similar unless we buy somebody before Sunday."
Theo Walcott isn't fit enough yet:
"He will come back into the group on August 31 - he is doing well but he's not ready yet."
The Germans won't be back until Monday:
"There were four teams in the title race last year - it could be five or six this season.
"Ideally we want to start strong, but our World Cup winners will not be back until next Monday and they will miss the start of the season.
"It's not ideal, but the World Cup final was only on July 13 and we need to give them a rest so they come back sharp."
He's not a fan of the Lampard to City loan move:
"If you look at a map, the shortest way from Chelsea to Manchester City is not to fly to New York first," he added.

Suns sign Matt BarnesPosted by Inside Hoops
Jul 23
The Phoenix Suns have signed free-agent forward Matt Barnes to a one-year contract, the club announced yesterday.
"We're excited to add a player of Matt's caliber to our roster," said Suns President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Steve Kerr. "He has a chance to have a big impact on our team. His athleticism and versatility at both ends of the court will be important for us along with his playoff experience."
The 6-7, 226-pound forward joins the Suns after a two-season stint with the Golden State Warriors in which he averaged 8.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 149 games in 2006-07 and 2007-08. Barnes enjoyed a career year with the Warriors in 2006-07, averaging a personal-best 9.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists during the regular season. The 28-year-old Barnes played a key role in Golden State's historic upset of the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the 2007 NBA Playoffs, tallying 11.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 11 games.
The UCLA product is a career 43.8-percent shooter from the field, including 32.4 percent from three-point range. Barnes shot 33.8 percent from long range the last two seasons with the Warriors, where he made 159 of his 169 career three-pointers.
Barnes joins his sixth NBA team after spending time with the L.A. Clippers (2003-04), Sacramento Kings (2004-05), Philadelphia 76ers (2004-05, 2005-06), New York Knicks (2005-06) and Warriors. He owns career averages of 6.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 286 NBA games.
Originally selected by the Memphis Grizzlies in the second round (46th overall) of the 2003 NBA Draft but traded that day to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Barnes is one of many NBA success stories that began their professional careers in the NBA Development League. The five-year veteran spent the 2002-03 season with the Fayetteville Patriots of the D-League, where he averaged 9.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in 50 games.
The Santa Clara, California-native attended Del Campo High School in Sacramento.
The Suns' roster currently stands at 11 players.

' Miracle On Ice '
1980's Miracle on ice, was a very lucky and coincidental game for the US against the USSR (Russia was called the USSR at that time). It is said that Russia or USSR would have easily won the game as their team were full of professionals and the US ice hockey team was filled with college students, who were not at all good players compared to the Russian Hockey. Michael Eruzione, the captain of the 1980 U.S. The Olympic hockey team reveals this particular information to CNN in an interview of 5 minutes. This interview was conducted because the CNN staff wanted to know about the Miracle on ice. They also wanted to ask Mr. Michael to give some suggestions to the U.S. hockey team or any inspirational quotations which could give them a lot of inspiration and build up confidence in them.
One question for you who were the people included in the 1980's U.S. hockey team and how did they win against Russia? It is a pretty hard question, but those of you who know, I think you know how to answer the question.

21.10.05 . Katia and Laura to Eurosong 2006 as Ka'n La
Katia Berlingieri, who participated in Eurosong 2004 with the ballad Don't be scared, and took part in Star Academy earlier this year, also makes a bid for reaching Eurosong 2006 together with Laura Murillo. Belgovision.com talked to Ka'n La about their plans for Eurosong 2006.
Katia, Eurosong is not new for you. How do you look back at your participation in Eurosong 2004?
Katia: Eurosong 2004 was taking a dip in the unknown. The only things I had seen in the music industry before were the microphones. (laughs) As a new artist I had no idea of all that was linked to it. I have learned a lot at Eurosong and it made me acquire a taste for the showbiz. I love singing and I would love to make my profession of it. Being on stage for thousands of people gives a real kick, who wouldn't want to do this for living?
This time you are making a bid together with Laura Murillo. How come you formed the duet Ka'n La?
Ka'n La: Actually we have been friends since primary school, but we lost sight of each other after secondary school. After Star Academy, when Katia moved back to Limbourg we started seeing each other more often again and when we discussed Katia's adventures, we came up with the idea of doing something together. In fact, the plan started when we once performed together and it lead to a joint participation in Eurosong!
Laura, Katia is no stranger in Flanders anymore. Do you have any experience or is Ka'n La your first musical project?
Laura: To be honest, before this year I had never taken the stage, except for a karaoke night or when having fun with friends. This year I have finally participated in a singing contest. So actually I don't have as much experience as the other candidates have, but I do have passion for singing, something you can't learn. If we will be selected, that will be an experience they can not take away from me anymore. By the way, I could learn something from my colleague, who knows? (winks)
Your names reveal your Italian roots. Did you use the Italian aspect in your entry?
Katia: Laura and I both have Italian blood, but Laura has some Spanish blood on top of that all! Plenty of temperament! We actually planned to add some Italian lyrics to the song, but while writing the song, we found that it sounded better completely in English. The song has a southern, Latin tinge and we will stress on that visually too. (laughs)
VRT is currently selecting the songs for Eurosong 2006. Are you awaiting the results with confidence or with fear?
Laura: I think nobody is secured of a place in the heats at this moment. Eurosong is getting more popular every other year and it is attracting more and more singers. The competition is huge, and we will for sure be heading for some exciting weeks. But patience is a great characteristic, isn't it?
Katia, are the Star Academy students holding a reunion at Eurosong 2006? Michael Schuddinck, Eveline Cannoot, Katy Satyn and Katerine Avgoustakis have also announced their participation in the selections for Eurosong.
Katia: It seems like it has become a Star Academy reunion indeed. (laughs) But I think my case is different. Eurosong takes place only half a year after Star Academy, but people will for sure see a different Katia. I have learned a lot more and I am no longer too shy to give all of myself on stage. And of course I do have Laura, so you can't really consider our entry as one of the Star Academy entries, but simply Ka'n La.
We would still like to know which songs are your favourite Eurovision Song Contest entries?
Since we are still very young, we have to admit that last year's winner and of course Sertab are our favourites.
Do you regret the absence of Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest since many years?
Italy has its own festival of Sanremo. But to be honest, we don't regret too much that Italy isn't participating. If you ever saw the program, you would share our opinion. There is already enough competition!

American directors Clint Eastwood and Steven Soderbergh will headline the streamlined competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which features fewer big-name directors and more emerging voices from across the globe.
Eastwood will show "Changeling," a mystery set in 1920s Los Angeles and starring Angelina Jolie as the mother of a kidnapped child. Soderbergh, the director of the lighthearted series that began with "Ocean's Eleven," gets serious with his four-hour-long marathon, "Che," about Argentine revolutionary Ernesto Guevara, organizers said Wednesday.
Organizers said they would announce the movies that will open and close the festival, which runs May 14-25, at a later date.
Harrison Ford dons his khakis for the latest installment of Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones series. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" also stars Australian actress Cate Blanchett, and will be screened out of competition.
Festival head Thierry Fremaux said he was thrilled Spielberg had chosen to premiere the movie at Cannes.
"It's amazing," he said. "A big portion of festival-goers and journalists grew up with Steven Spielberg's first movies."
Woody Allen's Spanish-set "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" will play in the same category, as will Serbian director Emir Kusturica's "Maradona," a documentary about Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona. Kusturica has won the Palme d'Or, Cannes' top prize, twice, in 1985 and 1995.
Organizers said the 61st edition of the French Riviera festival will mark a shift in the spirit of the event, known for its mix of Hollywood blockbusters and small art-house films.
They said they'd pared down the offerings in the main competition from 22 last year to 20 this year and nixed some of the sideline events to put the spotlight back on cinema.
This year, smaller productions by lesser-known directors appear to have the upper hand over blockbusters. Organizers explained that many of the festival's favorite star directors _ like Britain's Stephen Frears ("The Queen") and Spain's Pedro Almodovar ("Volver") _ are presently working on new movies.
The main competition lineup includes movies by art-house directors from Belgium, Turkey, China, France, Argentina, Brazil and Italy. Eight of the directors have never before appeared in Cannes' main competition.
Brazilian director Walter Salles ("The Motorcycle Diaries") is showing "Linha de Passe," the story of brothers trying to scrape their way out of poverty. Argentina's Lucrecia Martel makes her debut at Cannes with "La Mujer Sin Cabeza (The Woman Without a Head)," which explores the psychology of a woman after she hits and kills a dog with her car.
Award-winning Chinese director Jia Zhangke, whose "Still Life" took the top prize at the 2006 Venice Film Festival, continues to explore how economic expansion affects China's legions of poor. "24 City" is about the relocation of an aircraft factory and its workers in the southwestern Chinese city Chengdu.
American screenwriter Charlie Kaufman ("Adaptation") makes his directorial debut with "Synechdoche, New York," starring Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Germany's Wim Wenders, who won the Palme d'Or for his melancholic 1984 movie, "Paris, Texas," will screen "The Palermo Shooting," a drama with a multilingual, multinational cast.
Palme d'Or laureates Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, who took top honors at the 1999 and 2005 festivals, are back with "Le Silence de Lorna (Lorna's Silence)." Known for their harrowing portraits of those on the margins of society, the Belgian brothers tell the story of the marriage between a drug addict and an illegal immigrant.
In a festival first, an animated documentary has been selected for the main competition. Israeli writer-director Ari Folman's "Waltz With Bashir" grapples with the 1982 massacre of Palestinians by Christian militia members in Lebanon.
Sean Penn, the American actor-director, leads the jury, which also includes Natalie Portman. The Palme d'Or and other awards will be announced May 25.
Though festival regular Quentin Tarantino ("Pulp Fiction") isn't presenting a new movie, the 1994 Palme d'Or laureate will give a master class on moviemaking to students and film buffs.

First of all, hardly any root-node remains without replies for more than an hour. As for the OP being able to 'raise a flag', I don't see much benefit from that. Most of the time, the OP will not be satisfied because he doesn't recognize a good answer. Either because there are conflicting answers, or no good answers at all, or because of lack of understanding. Or because he asked the wrong question. Setting a flag doesn't solve this problem. Further asking may.

I feel your pain. I just got a notice in the mail of a judicial judgement against me for having an expired safety sticker. I never received a ticket, the first notice I got, the letter today, is that I lost because I didn't show up in court. I called the court and the woman told me that I was parked on the street and the policeman put a ticket on my car. This is not true. I have never parked on that street in my life. He also never pulled me over to give me a ticket. The only thing I can think is he saw me driving by (I have driven on that street) and wrote down the license number and a ticket without ever pulling me over.
$70. And no way to defend myself. It is a done deal. Charged and convicted without ever even knowing it. I was guilty, I was a little late getting the inspection done, but that really isn't the point. I still have a right to defend myself and a right to face my accuser.

Doc Rivers sounds annoyed with all the Rajon Rondo trade rumors:
Rivers said Thursday afternoon he is irked by reports the Celtics were aggressively shopping his mercurial point guard and frustrated that his relationship with Rondo is being cited as one of the reasons Boston is willing to part with him.
"My relationship with Rajon is as strong as it has ever been," he said. "Our communication has never been better. I want him here. I can say with almost 100 percent certainty he will be here with us when the season ends. I'm tired of this stuff. It's not fair."
Wow. Those are some strong words from Doc Rivers. If he was just trying to cover up a rift, I doubt he would go to such extremes.
Jackie MacMullan has more evidence disputing the trade reports:
Team and league sources said that while the Celtics were willing to part with Rondo if it yielded someone of Paul's caliber, they are not actively trying to unload him. Two general managers initially involved in the Rondo-Paul trade talks as a potential third party confirmed Thursday they have not received any calls in recent months from Boston regarding their point guard.
"Rondo is a moody guy," one Celtics official said, "but so what? Stand in line. There's a league full of NBA guys who are more high-maintenance than he is.
"He's a real competitor, wants to get better and he's a real gamer. Doc loves the fact that Rondo will fight through anything to be out on the court."
I'll take Jackie Mac's sources over Chris Broussard's every day of the week.
During his weekly appearance on WEEI, Danny Ainge called Rondo the team's best player and reiterated that he is not actively trying to trade his point guard.

Jared Allen to make Mall of America cameo for Vikings' stadium push
- Blog Post by:
- May 4, 2012 - 5:46 PM
Quick quiz.
Name the Vikings' best (and arguably most charismatic) defensive player.
Name the current governor of Minnesota.
Name the state's most popular tourist attraction.
If you answered Jared Allen, Mark Dayton and Mall of America to the above questions, you may have just earned yourself a Saturday afternoon field trip to see all three together.
As the Vikings try to rally support for a new stadium -- the issue is in its critical stages and will likely face a defining moment Monday -- the weekend will provide opportunities for supporters and detractors to state their cases loud and clear. As part of the Vikings' efforts, Allen and Dayton plus Minneapolis mayor R.T. Rybak, senator Julie Rosen and state representative Terry Morrow will all appear in the Sears Courtyard at the Mall of America in an effort to thank fans for their support and, in the team's words, "encourage increased activity heading into Monday's House floor vote."
Saturday's event is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
Monday's vote on the House floor is likely to cause fireworks. House Speaker Kurt Zellers has said he won't vote for the plan and also said he doubts it will collect enough votes to be passed. Hence the need for the Vikings and the rest of the pro-stadium crowd to get some momentum going.
The very fluid and often confusing political ping-pong involving the stadium issue continues.

Bernanke Order for AIG Bailout Testimony Appealed by U.S.
The U.S. appealed a court order that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke should be required to testify in Maurice "Hank" Greenberg's lawsuit over the American International Group Inc. (AIG) bailout.
The trial judge in the Court of Federal Claims lawsuit, in which Greenberg's closely held Starr International Co. seeks $25 billion from the U.S. for allegedly violating AIG shareholders constitutional rights, erred by citing the stakes in the case and Bernanke's role as an "extraordinary circumstance" warranting his testimony, the Justice Department said.
"Under the trial court's reasoning, any person with a grievance related to any decision in which the Federal Reserve chairman has personally participated, might equally be entitled to take his deposition," the department argued in its filing in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington.
Greenberg claims the assumption of 80 percent of the AIG's stock by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in September 2008 was a taking of property that violated shareholders' rights to due process and equal protection of the law.
Judge Thomas Wheeler of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims ruled on July 29 that Bernanke would have to testify in the case -- something Starr has contended is necessary because of his role in the transaction.
Wheeler, who said he will attend the deposition to provide judicial oversight, said obtaining testimony from high-level U.S. officials has been a "relatively routine practice" in claims court when the individual has personal knowledge of relevant information.
In a related filing, the U.S. asked Wheeler to allow an appeal to the Federal Circuit of his ruling that the suit can proceed.
The case is Starr International Co. v. U.S., 11-cv-00779, U.S. Court of Federal Claims (Washington).

Baylor University's 2000-2001 Lyceum Series will present Italian pianist Fabio Bidini in guest recital at 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 23, in Roxy Grove Hall.

He has been awarded first prize in 11 of Italy's most prestigious national piano competitions and has been the recipient of the top prizes awarded in eight international competitions.
Bidini made his North American debut in 1993, performing with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. He also has appeared as piano soloist with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, the New World Symphony and the Buffalo Philharmonic.
As a recitalist, he has appeared in many of the world's music capitals, including the American cities of New York, Detroit, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

Also to be heard are three pieces from Claude Debussy's Images (Book 2) and the Wanderer Fantasy of Franz Schubert.

Free Additional IPs
First thought that come to your mind while looking for an Email dedicated server is "how many IPs?" Well, we offer 1+3 IPv4 Addresses with all email servers for FREE. So no need to worry about applying for new IPs and justifying the usage.
A complete /64 IPv6 Subnet is also included at no extra charge.
Reverse IP Lookup
You can set reverse lookup zones for all the IPs you are assigned to the hostname of your server (or as per your requirement). This will help you in clean delivery of your emails.
What is a Dedicated Server?
A dedicated web hosting is a type of hosting where a whole server is assigned to a single customer; hence it is a called dedicated server hosting. It is opposite to shared web hosting where many customer's accounts are hosted on a single server thus sharing the resources among all.
It makes a Dedicated Server customer privileged user to the server's memory, bandwidth, processing power and storage space. The performance of a dedicated server is not affected by usage and traffic patterns of other customers.
When you purchase a Dedicated Server, you are infect signing up to lease a dedicated server in a monthly contract (usually) which is configured according to your needs and preferences. Though you rent the server; but hardware remains at our data center.
To give a user full access to leased Dedicated Server, It is configured with a public IP address, and it is our responsibility to keep the server accessible to you so that yo can use it as any in-house server. We provide you with full control of server software installation, with root access (admin in case of windows) to the server.
We also offer dedicated web hosting as part of our managed server plans.
Dedicated server are useful where startups or individuals have websites/blogs or applications with high-traffic.
What Operating Systems you are Offering with Dedicated Servers?
We are offering all the all flavors of Linux that are mostly used, and also windows operating system. Most of our users are on CentOS and for this reason we provide extended support for CentOS dedicated servers.
You have the option to select operating system during server configuration options during the order. Or our technical support can install an OS of your choice over support ticket.
How many IPs come with each Server, and what is the policy for additional IPs.
There is one IP bundled with a dedicated server by default. For additional IPs, there are no specific requirements if demand is small (up to 3 IPs or a /29 block). If you need anything more than /29, then a justification is needed for the usage as per
Managed or Unmanaged
Unmanaged Dedicated Servers provide you only with the hardware, power, and connectivity; we are responsible for keeping the server alive with a minimum operating system so you can access it remotely. How you other aspects of your dedicated server like updates, apply security patches, firewalls, and hardening, it is entirely up to you.
Managed Dedicated Servers, If you find it hard to spare time for server management or it is not your specialty, let our server administrators take the responsibility. Our managed services deliver more reliability as daily backups are included at no extra cost.
Dedicated Server or VPS
If you are looking for benefits of dedicated server but have a limited budget, Virtual Private Servers are the best solution for you. Our VPS Packages comes with far less price yet high flexibility for upgrades.
If your application is a power hungry or you are expecting glitches in traffic, additional security, and configuration freedom, then Dedicated Server is the right choice for you.
A well configured dedicated server offer a higher level of control, stability, and performance as compared to shared hosting or VPS. We offer 'bare-metal,' self-managed and fully managed options our complete dedicated server range. We provide both Microsoft Windows and, Linux (all flavors).

ST. PETERSBURG — Evan Longoria is ready to go back to playing third base on a permanent basis.
Manager Joe Maddon said the Rays, at least for the rest of this week, will limit Longoria, who missed three months with a left hamstring injury, to every-other-day duty, with his second start tonight.
Longoria said he felt good after playing third Tuesday, leaving as planned after seven innings despite angling to stay in (as the game was 0-0) and even apologizing to starter David Price.
"My legs have felt good, that's the most important thing," Longoria said. "Whatever they want me to do, I'll do at this point, but at some point in the near future I'm going to want to go out and play third base every day.
"It's much easier to get into the rhythm of the game, it's much easier to stay focused. My legs actually felt better (Tuesday) playing than they did (Wednesday) just kind of DH-ing and sitting around between innings."
Though Longoria, who was 1-for-3 Wednesday, has hit only .235 (12-for-51) with nine RBIs in his 14 games since returning Aug. 7, his impact has been dramatic as the Rays are 13-3 and have outscored opponents 90-39.
PITCHING IN: RHP Jeff Niemann will make the last of four scheduled rehab starts on Saturday for Triple-A Durham, though his return to active duty might be pushed back to Sept. 1, when the roster expands. With Sunday's day off — due to the Republican National Convention party at the Trop — the club might shuffle its rotation after LHP David Price and RHP James Shields face the Rangers on Monday and Tuesday, possibly moving LHP Matt Moore up and RHP Alex Cobb back.
IT'S ACADEMIC: OF Sam Fuld, a Stanford economics grad, is considered one of the smartest guys in the clubhouse, but Maddon, Lafayette College attendee, said his headfirst slide into home, albeit successful, after a dash from first on Ben Zobrist's double was "not very intelligent." Said Fuld: "He has every right to call me unintelligent. I agree with him. It probably wasn't that intelligent to go in the first place, with no outs. I probably shouldn't have done it, but it was an instinct play."
OUT OF LINE: After watching replays of the key play in Tuesday's game, 1B Carlos Peña felt the Royals' Jeff Francoeur was definitely in the wrong in the 10th inning by running out of the baseline on his way to first, preventing Peña from being able to corral SS Zobrist's errant throw and leading to the only run.
"That's illegal," Peña said. "But no one called it, no one saw it."
Peña felt it was improper, and perhaps intentional, because with Francoeur running in the grass, Peña was unable to move enough to his left to get to the ball. Francoeur ended up at second.
But actually it wasn't illegal, nor a cause for interference, according to umpiring supervisor Charlie Reliford. The runner is not required to run inside the line (though he runs the risk of other interference issues by not), and there can only be interference if the runner hinders the ball being fielded at the base.
DO-OVER: Cobb said that as soon as he walked off the mound in the third inning of his brutally bad start Saturday in Anaheim, having allowed eight runs on 12 hits, he was trying to forget it and look ahead to his next one tonight. "This game couldn't come quick enough," he said.
MISCELLANY: The Rays will be featured at 9 tonight in the new episode of the NBC Sports Network show Caught Looking, featuring a behind-the-scenes look at the Angels series. … Rays pitchers allowed the Royals 18 hits, 16 singles. … The three-game series drew a total of 32,682. … Royals manager Ned Yost was ejected for arguing balls and strikes. … Fuld and C Jose Lobaton will visit All Children's Hospital today; C Jose Molina on Friday will take a fan grocery shopping at the Northdale Sweetbay.

Sydney Secrets : Saveus12:30 PM
This brand would definitely be my favorite brand i discovered in Sydney. I found my self walking aimlessly through The Westfield shopping centre on Pitt st i went to the bottom level to find all these stalls of new emerging Sydney labels. I took their lookbook home and have shown everyone i know about their collection. I love everything from their sheer black pieces to their fur vests and two toned blazers and dresses and they have these leggings that are black from the front and white from the back. i think they look insane so effortlessly beautiful. i haven't been able to stop thinking about them. I think its time i make my first Saveus purchase. :)

Sorry Consumers just aren't going to notice that. Audiophiles will barely notice a difference and not in every scene. That means in a real world scenario the arguement doesn't hold up.

There is one other field of scientific investigation to which we must give brief attention before leaving the antique world. This is the field of physiology and medicine. In considering it we shall have to do with the very last great scientist of the Alexandrian school. This was Claudius Galenus, commonly known as Galen, a man whose fame was destined to eclipse that of all other physicians of antiquity except Hippocrates, and whose doctrines were to have the same force in their field throughout the Middle Ages that the doctrines of Aristotle had for physical science. But before we take up Galen's specific labors, it will be well to inquire briefly as to the state of medical art and science in the Roman world at the time when the last great physician of antiquity came upon the scene.
The Romans, it would appear, had done little in the way of scientific discoveries in the field of medicine, but, nevertheless, with their practicality of mind, they had turned to better account many more of the scientific discoveries of the Greeks than did the discoverers themselves. The practising physicians in early Rome were mostly men of Greek origin, who came to the capital after the overthrow of the Greeks by the Romans. Many of them were slaves, as earning money by either bodily or mental labor was considered beneath the dignity of a Roman citizen. The wealthy Romans, who owned large estates and numerous slaves, were in the habit of purchasing some of these slave doctors, and thus saving medical fees by having them attend to the health of their families.
By the beginning of the Christian era medicine as a profession had sadly degenerated, and in place of a class of physicians who practised medicine along rational or legitimate lines, in the footsteps of the great Hippocrates, there appeared great numbers of "specialists," most of them charlatans, who pretended to possess supernatural insight in the methods of treating certain forms of disease. These physicians rightly earned the contempt of the better class of Romans, and were made the object of many attacks by the satirists of the time. Such specialists travelled about from place to place in much the same manner as the itinerant "Indian doctors" and "lightning tooth-extractors" do to-day. Eye-doctors seem to have been particularly numerous, and these were divided into two classes, eye-surgeons and eye-doctors proper. The eye-surgeon performed such operations as cauterizing for ingrowing eyelashes and operating upon growths about the eyes; while the eye-doctors depended entirely upon salves and lotions. These eye-salves were frequently stamped with the seal of the physician who compounded them, something like two hundred of these seals being still in existence. There were besides these quacks, however, reputable eye-doctors who must have possessed considerable skill in the treatment of certain ophthalmias. Among some Roman surgical instruments discovered at Rheims were found also some drugs employed by ophthalmic surgeons, and an analysis of these show that they contained, among other ingredients, some that are still employed in the treatment of certain affections of the eye.
One of the first steps taken in recognition of the services of physicians was by Julius Caesar, who granted citizenship to all physicians practising in Rome. This was about fifty years before the Christian era, and from that time on there was a gradual improvement in the attitude of the Romans towards the members of the medical profession. As the Romans degenerated from a race of sturdy warriors and became more and more depraved physically, the necessity for physicians made itself more evident. Court physicians, and physicians-in-ordinary, were created by the emperors, as were also city and district physicians. In the year 133 A.D. Hadrian granted immunity from taxes and military service to physicians in recognition of their public services.
The city and district physicians, known as the archiatri populaires, treated and cared for the poor without remuneration, having a position and salary fixed by law and paid them semi-annually. These were honorable positions, and the archiatri were obliged to give instruction in medicine, without pay, to the poor students. They were allowed to receive fees and donations from their patients, but not, however, until the danger from the malady was past. Special laws were enacted to protect them, and any person subjecting them to an insult was liable to a fine "not exceeding one thousand pounds."
An example of Roman practicality is shown in the method of treating hemorrhage, as described by Aulus Cornelius Celsus (53 B.C. to 7 A.D.). Hippocrates and Hippocratic writers treated hemorrhage by application of cold, pressure, styptics, and sometimes by actual cauterizing; but they knew nothing of the simple method of stopping a hemorrhage by a ligature tied around the bleeding vessel. Celsus not only recommended tying the end of the injured vessel, but describes the method of applying two ligatures before the artery is divided by the surgeon—a common practice among surgeons at the present time. The cut is made between these two, and thus hemorrhage is avoided from either end of the divided vessel.
Another Roman surgeon, Heliodorus, not only describes the use of the ligature in stopping hemorrhage, but also the practice of torsion—twisting smaller vessels, which causes their lining membrane to contract in a manner that produces coagulation and stops hemorrhage. It is remarkable that so simple and practical a method as the use of the ligature in stopping hemorrhage could have gone out of use, once it had been discovered; but during the Middle Ages it was almost entirely lost sight of, and was not reintroduced until the time of Ambroise Pare, in the sixteenth century.

Scottish Fold Breed Poll
Prepared by: Votenet Solutions
Poll Results
- Do you want Scottish Straights (the straight eared cats born in typical Scottish Fold litters) to be advanced to a Championship breed?
Rational: This would make the Scottish Straight a separate breed from the Scottish Fold but still with the same outcrosses as the Fold. This would change nothing other than to allow us to show and title our straight eared Folds. It would be like having a longhair and shorthair in the same litter where one is a Scottish Fold and one is a Scottish Fold Longhair. They are the same but have different names and compete separately. There would be Scottish Straight and Scottish Straight Longhair. These cats are recognized and handled this way in at least 5 other associations worldwide.

Why does light move?
Why does light move (it has speed) when it weighs nothing?
Since light has zero mass and
momentum = mass x velocity, why does light have momentum?
—Ross Atkins
Let's go back to Einstein. He said that energy was related directly to mass,
E = mc2. So if mass is zero, energy is zero. But clearly this is not true for photons, because light has energy.
A photon also has momentum, and momentum is related to mass by Newton's third law,
p = mv.
But in this case the mass is what is now unfashionably termed 'relativistic mass'. This is defined as energy that changes with velocity.
By convention, because it mucks with equations much longer than these, mass is not defined as relativistic mass (which is really just energy) but as 'invariant mass'. This is the mass of the particle at rest and doesn't change.
Einstein's energy equation can also be expressed as:
E = mc2 = sqrt p2c2 + m02c4
- m = relativistic mass;
- m0 = invariant mass;
- E = energy;
- p = momentum; and
- c = speed of light.
(Bet you wished you didn't ask the question now.)
A particle such as a photon can have momentum and energy without mass because for massless radiation, energy is equal to momentum times the speed of light (
E = pc). Plug that in above and you'll get
m = 0.

Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM) provides Flex-Hone® tools to aerospace companies, aircraft manufacturers, jet engine builders, and aviation MROs.
Los Angeles, CA (USA) (PRWEB) April 16, 2014
Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM), American-owned maker of flexible hones and abrasive nylon brushes, is announcing how Flex-Hone® tools provide aircraft and aerospace manufacturers with the surface finishing solutions that they need. Ball hones, as BRM's flexible honing tools are sometimes called, are used to remove burrs, polish holes, blend edges, and improve overall surface condition.
Surface Finishing Problems
In a recent SME article entitled Compiled Problems Caused by Burrs and Sharp Edges, a past president of the manufacturing and engineering organization described challenges faced by aerospace and aircraft companies. Burrs, sharp surface edges, and surface roughness can injure workers, cause mechanical and electrical problems, and reduce the service life of components.
Surface irregularities can also increase friction and wear, reduce fatigue limits, produce excessive stress concentrations, and create build-ups of paint and plating materials. If mating surfaces in moving parts aren't properly finished, friction can cause excessive heat – which may lead to premature part failure. Parts also need proper finishing so that lubricants can better transfer heat away from metal surfaces.
In the aerospace industry, surface finishing challenges include chamfer blending and hole-polishing. Burr holes and sharp edges can increase stress and strain. If excessive strain occurs, material failure can result because of cracking. Aircraft and aerospace manufacturers also need to radius sharp interior and exterior corners. In industries where part failure is not an option, leaders need proven solutions.
Flex-Hone® Solutions
Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM) provides Flex-Hone® tools to aerospace companies, aircraft manufacturers, jet engine builders, and aviation MROs. A resilient, flexible honing tool with a soft cutting action, the BRM Flex-Hone® removes burrs, blends edges, and improves surface finish at the same time.
Available in a variety of sizes and abrasive types, flexible hones are also used for chamfer blending and hole-polishing. With their abrasive globules bonded to flexible nylon filaments, Flex-Hone® tools have a distinctive appearance that's earned them nicknames such as ball hones and dingleberry hones. In the aerospace industry, however, these flexible honing tools are best known for solving surface finishing challenges.
For surface finishing hard materials, BRM recommends Diamond Flex-Hone® tools. With their resin-bonded crystals, these diamond hones are ideal for aerospace materials and space age alloys. From high-quality hole finishing at a U.S. Naval Air Station to scale cleaning at Sikorksy Helicopter, BRM flexible honing tools help keep the aerospace and aircraft industry flying high.

TAMPA — Robinson won its third straight girls soccer district title in dominant fashion Saturday, but coach Billy Helms wasn't celebrating too much.
Minutes after the Knights' 6-0 victory over Bradenton Southeast in the Class 3A, District 9 final, Helms already was focused on the next opponent: 3A-10 runnerup Tarpon Springs. Robinson hosts the region quarterfinal at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Though the Knights (13-5) have enjoyed the satisfaction of making the playoffs four of the past five seasons, the postseason's first round has left them bitter after exits in 2012 and 2013.
"Our team has felt success; they've tasted it," Helms said. "And with the disappointments of the last two years, it's made them realize how important it is for us to move forward."
If Saturday is any indication of what's to come, Robinson will be tough to beat.
Seniors Claire Rothschild and Caroline King struck quickly against the Seminoles (11-4), scoring less than a minute apart in the first 10 minutes. It took another 30 minutes before the Knights scored again.
Robinson didn't allow a shot on net, but the Knights whiffed on three opportunities, missing wide of the net, off the post and over the crossbar before halftime.
In the 48th minute, Sam Ishee curved a long shot behind Southeast goalkeeper Angalique Schweitzer and into the right side of the net for a 3-0 lead.
Kari Trautvetter, Rian Tellis and King put it away.
"We've kind of had a history of having some slow starts," King said. "But usually once we find our rhythm, we settle in and we play our game."

Wine bar near Crofton Park Station. It was previously a wine and beer shop as well, but for various reasons that side of the business closed on 26 January 2013, with sales continuing online only.
The wine bar remained open, though in early 2014 it moved into the space previously occupied by the shop.
Our comments on the now-closed beer/wine shop are below. We haven't visited the wine bar yet.
The wine section at the back is just as impressive in its range, and is organised by country. They have a particularly extensive selection of wines from Chateau Musar in Lebanon (with vintages going back into the 80s, at increasing prices, obviously). On Ewan's February 2008 visit, the proprietor was very friendly and eager to show off his wines, which he notes are sourced from smaller producers. The shop itself imports a number of the wines it sells. Apart from good stocks of new world wines, and the major producers (France, Spain, Italy), there is also a good range of German and Austrian wines. There are even a few English wines (the Chapel Down wines, as well as Nyetimber sparkling).
Aside from the wines, the shop also has a good range of spirits available behind the counter. Again, the focus is on smaller independent producers, with a particularly fine range of cognacs (Maxime Trijol is the favoured label) and armagnacs, including some more expensive vintages. The proprietor was keen to mention his range of ports, which I didn't get a chance to look at.

Texas A&M has officially informed the Big 12 that it plans to pursue a membership with the SEC. Should the SEC vote to accept the Aggies, they plan to leave the Big 12 by June 30, 2012.
42 comments, Last at 03 Sep 2011, 4:43pm by justanothersteve
The school spokesman has denied that such a letter has been sent.
That was not today. Today, it's on the school website.
Personally I hope the SEC replies "Thanks but no thanks"
I am rather surprised they'd announce they were leaving without having the SEC deal fully worked out. When Nebraska and Colorado announced the were leaving the Big 12 it was a done deal with their new conferences.
I originally heard that the SEC was going to bring in T A&M, and then look at schools like Clemson, Florida State, and another school (I can't remember off the top of my head, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't another ACC school), to go along with it. That makes me wonder if they aren't trying to expand, which just seems outrageous, seeing as they already have 12 teams, and the conference seems fine with me.
Then today after the announcement on ESPN, some of the college analysts were mentioning the possibility that Arkansas leaves the SEC to go to the Big 12. Why are teams just swapping conferences?
And why is Texas A&M looking to leave the Big 12? What's wrong with the conference?
If teams are changing, it's almost always about getting more money. That's why conference sizes are expanding as well. The rumors I heard (totally unconfirmed gossip of course) earlier this summer were pretty much :
SEC : Adds Missouri, Texas A&M, Clemson, Florida State
Big 12 : Adds BYU, TCU (loses TA&M, Missouri)
ACC : Adds WVU, UCONN (loses FSU, Clemson)
Big East : ??
There was a lot of variation and speculation going on, and the Texas A&M move was the only one that seemed real at the time (and has been proven out I guess). The idea was the SEC wanted to be a 16 team conference and start up a TV network, etc. It's all entirely money driven.
The Big 12 is less attractive right now because they can't have a championship game - a conference has to have at least 12 members to hold one, per NCAA regulations. (So the Big Ten CAN have one now.) Plus it lost one of it's marquee teams in Nebraska.
Personally, I just hope in all of this the Big Ten decides to change its name to something without "Ten" in it.
I thought BYU was excited to be an independent? If they were just going to join a bigger conference later, why did they leave their's to begin with?
I'm thinking the Big 12 might be breaking up, unless they start adding teams like crazy, such as TCU, BYU, Colorado State, and maybe Boise State. I don't see how they can be a regular conference of any significance, even with Texas and Oklahoma, if they only have 9 schools, while the rest of the big time conferences have minimum 12.
At this point, the Mountain West should start making overtures to all the Big 12 schools it can, and take their BCS berth.
The BYU thing has been strange from the beginning. They certainly have a loyal following, but they're not Notre Dame. And I think you'd need to be Notre Dame to make the independent route work.
The Big 12 is in serious trouble. They likely would have folded if they hadn't been able to hold onto Texas. But what it took to keep them is eventually going to kill them because the other 11 schools now feel like stepchildren to the Longhorns.
My understanding is that the BYU thing was a choice based on its ministry. In particular, it felt like it could reach more people if it weren't locked into playing more or less the same slate of schools all the time. Thus, it is willing to forego some of the money and security of playing in a conference for that ability.
Not sure I really get that, given even independents essentially get locked into playing the same schools all the time. Check out how little Notre Dame's schedule changes, for example. Granted, ND keeps most of those because they are long-time rivalries, but BYU will quickly discover the pool of teams looking for dangerous non-conference opponents is pretty small. And many bowl games have conference ties, which will limit BYU even on that front.
" Thus, it is willing to forego some of the money and security of playing in a conference for that ability."
They are on record as saying they'll make more money having their own network than they did in the Mountain West. It was about the almighty dollar, not telling people about the Almighty.
I don't get most of those rumors. A&M obviously, Clemson and FSU maybe ... but I agree that it makes no sense for BYU to join the Big 12 (especially given their scheduling requirements).
TCU makes about as much sense, odd as it may seem ... obviously the location is great, but they just moved up to a BCS conference that they can theoretically dominate, one that includes a championship game. Why leave that for a conference without a championship that is still reasonably strong in football? (Unless UT decides to collapse.)
I guess West Virginia and Connecticut would be taking a step up, but the Big East seems fine right now. Maybe they're tired of being in a 50-team basketball conference?
Missouri to the SEC doesn't really make sense at all, especially given that A&M isn't making them part of a package deal. The SEC would have more pull than any other conference listed above, and there are probably other schools that would be a better fit for what they seem to want than Missouri. (Louisville, for example.)
Lots of these moves--both the ones that have happened and those being proposed--are questionable, imo. It's hard to imagine TCU being in The Big East long-term--who are their fans going to embrace as rivals? Mizzou makes little sense geographically with the SEC. Colorado is really out-of-the-way compared to most of the rest of the Pac-12.
And while I know it's all about the money, from a competitive perspective, a lot of these schools are going to struggle for the foreseeable future. Colorado was a doormat in the weak Big 12 North. They're going to be toast in the Pac 12. Mizzou is going to struggle mightily in the SEC. A&M is going to struggle there, as well, and loses a host of in-state rivals.
Colorado makes as much sense in the new Pac-12 as they did in the Big 12. Colorado is a poor geographic fit in any conference that has schools its size. Even in the Big 12, their nearest rival was an 8 hour drive away.
Agree with this. Also, the state of Colorado has a large number of transplants from California, the Pacific Northwest and, at least for myself, Arizona. There is much more appeal to a Pac-10 schedule of schools to a lot of people here than in the Big 12. The Pac-10 was also very aggressive in recruiting both CU and Utah to the conference, as they wanted to expand for TV/Championship game reasons. I also think that this can help CU in recruiting in states like California.
But, in the end, it's of course all about money. I don't know if they'll be any more of a doormat in the Pac than they'd become in the Big 12; Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and random successful school number four stack up pretty well against a conference which USC and Oregon have pretty much dominated for a decade.
Their athletic department was millions in the red and the added money was huge to them. They were driving distance to the KU and K-State and Nebraska (though Nebraska was going to the Big 10). In the Pac 12, their fans will have to fly to virtually every road opponent. That said, CU never travels well, so that probably wasn't a major consideration for them. They also frequently don't sell out home games, which helps explain the budget deficit.
All true.
For a team with a modern era national championship to its credit, Colorado is pretty pathetic in terms of fan support. A couple years ago they actually went public, begging their season ticket holders not to sell their seats to opposing fans. Ouch.
As for the comment further up about them not having any rival schools nearby, the reality is they went decades actively avoiding creating rivalries with nearby schools. They let the rivalry with Colorado State lapse from from the 50s until the 80s. Bizarre. Air Force would love to play them, but they always refuse. They don't play Wyoming. Kansas State has been a good rival on the field for the entire Bill Snyder era and they're easy driving distance, yet home games in Boulder have so much purple you get confused and think the game is in Manhattan.
My guess is the big opponents like Oregon and USC will sell out in Boulder this year because of the novelty, but then there'll be plenty of empty seats again.
Colorado did allow local rivalries to lapse, but Colorado has for quite some time now been aggressive in OOC scheduling to get marquee matchups (in the 1990 season they played 4 ranked teams before they even started in to the Big 8). They got away from that in the Hawkins era, but I'd guess that was just a result of the scandal making it difficult to attract home-and-homes a few years down the road. Air Force and Wyoming make sense regionally but not financially.
Really, the issue with Colorado's fan support is that the school draws a ton of students from out of state (33%) and the metro area has only in the last few decades exploded in size with transplants. So a significant chunk of the alumni leave town and a significant chunk of the locals didn't grow up with the team. Couple that with a widely publicized scandal and 4 years of putrid coaching and here we are.
Arkansas is not going to join the Big 12. When the old SWC was broken up, one reason Arkansas joined the SEC was to get away from Texas. Don't have the reasons, but when I read them on the local (St Louis) pages it was enough to convince me it ain't happening. If I find them I'll post them, but it will have to wait until this evening when I get off work.
Update on my previous. Arkansas won't join in large part because they get more money by staying in the SEC. They also don't trust Texas - for good reason. Finally, why would a team leave the SEC or any other major conference for the instability of the Big 12/10/9? I read a few blogs and local (Fayetteville) articles, and it also sounds the Arkansas athletic director would be quickly looking for a new job if he even suggested it.
Arkansas wouldn't leave the SEC for the Big 12 because they would be losing money to do so.
The Big 12 lost a lot of TV money when they lost Nebraska and Colorado and as a result the championship football game. They could add small schools but it would hurt the reputation of the conference.
Also, Big 12 money isn't split up equally, Texas gets an oversized portion of the money. Schools like K-State and Iowa State have no choice but to put up with it, but TAMU does have choices and sees more $$$ in the SEC. I suspect eventually Texas and OU will leave as well, leaving the rest of the Big 12 to become a mid-major conference.
OU isn't going anywhere without OSU. I suspect that they, along with Texas and, likely, TTech, will land on their feet. The real question is what happens to the Big XII North and Baylor. The only reason the latter made it into the BIG XII to begin with was politics and that support doesn't exist anymore (the current governor has no Baylor ties, to be sure). Of the North schools, Kansas has some cache because of its basketball, and Mizzou has some, too. But KSU and ISU have little and can only hope that the Big XII holds together and adds enough schools to make it a 12-team conference again (SMU? TU?).
Yes, I can see a couple of those schools ending up in something like the Mountain West. Missouri..Big 10, maybe? It would seem that Kansas has far too much success, and money-making abilities, in it's basketball program that they would be able to find an opening somewhere. I know originally there was a proposal to bring Oklahoma into the Pac 10, which I always thought was ridiculous geographically, but this may all splinter in the end. Nobody in the Big 12 likes playing second fiddle to Texas but, despite OU's enormous football success, they still do.
As Clemson, Florida State and Miami would bring nothing to the SEC that it doesn't already have -- and the 4 North Carolina schools are not going to do anything if not as a unit -- it seems more likely that the SEC would go to Virginia Tech for a 14th member.
If Missouri still isn't interested, Oklahoma and Maryland would also be possible choices to get up to 16 members.
You misspelled Oklahoma State. OU will have to take OSU as a dance partner. (I can't see why Maryland would make the jump ... leaving the history they have in the ACC to get slaughtered in the SEC.)
Clemson and Florida State bring rivalries to the SEC. That being said, the last round of expansion had virtually nothing to do with rivalries: expansion was outside existing footprints rather than inside it, so I'd agree that while those schools might fit well, they're not as likely to receive offers to join if the SEC has the same intent as the other conferences did/do.
Texas A&M brings an SEC rivalry in with Arkansas, but also with the Cotton Bowl tradition.
GT, Clemson, and FSU all bring in rivalries, too. GT is a poor fit, though. The SEC doesn't favor teams whose players can read.
Outside of possible state politics - as when Texas and A&M were forced to bring Tech and Baylor with them to gain legislative approval for busting up the SWC -- why would OU HAVE to bring OK State? The SEC would certainly want someone with a bigger footprint than a place that makes Starkville, MS look cosmopolitan.
Your point about the last round of expansion is exactly why this round of expansion will also go with increasing footprint (Virginia, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Maryland) over consolidating areas where there already is a major presence (South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky). The money is in EXPANSION, not consolidation. Clemson-SC, Georgia-Ga Tech and Louisville-Kentucky are already major rivalries without all being in the same conference. Bedlam will be bedlam whether or not the Cowboys and Sooners are in the same conference.
Oh, and as far as Georgia Tech goes -- they used to be in the SEC -- but left, with a lot of resulting bad feelings. Seems Tech had issues with some of the ways its SEC brethren addressed academics, and the SEC thought Tech was more than a little full of itself. Memories are long down South -- don't expect to see the Rambling Wreck leaving the ACC for the SEC ever -- but it would make for one heck of a rivalry package to sell to ESPN, with Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and maybe Texas, Oklahoma and Virginia straddling conferences.
UNC/Duke aren't going anywhere without the other, but I could see NC State trying to make the recognition jump by going to the SEC alone.
NC State leaving would shock me. No SEC rivals, and they're on the same interstate exit as Duke. It's too much of a proximity to leave.
NC State is ~25 miles away from Duke. It would actually make sense for them to jump ship. They can't compete in basketball and they currently lose recruiting battles in football to UNC. In the SEC their basketball would face weaker competition and they'd start winning NC football recruits.
VT won't leave without UVa. UVa won't leave the ACC and its Tobacco Road rivalries.
(UVa pulled strings to get VT in the ACC in the first place, and neither school has any SEC rivalries. If WVU replaced the departing ACC team, even moreso.)
WVU has rivalries with Maryland and VT
If the SEC wants to go to 16 teams, they could raid the Big 12 for Oklahoma and Ok State, then grab a school at random. Clemson, Va Tech, Florida State, or even a long shot like Missouri, Houston, TCU, or Memphis. (Or a real long shot like Notre Dame.) In any case, the Big 12 is toast. They could still go back to 12 teams, but it's gonna be teams like SMU, Colorado State, and Northern Iowa.
Supposedly-there is an agreement that the SEC won't go after schools that already have a team in that state. So no Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, or even Louisville. Not sure if that is true or not (who knows)....but a team I have been hearing about is.....West Virginia.
aTm sucks!
I have the extra team for the SEC, Tulane. That way every other SEC team gets a one game boost toward bowl eligibility. The SEC gets back an original member. The other SEC teams would get an occasional trip to the Super Dome for an away game before a home crowd. What's not to love?
I was thinking about this a few weeks ago.
Let's say that four major conferences develop: the Big Ten, the SEC, the Pac-10, and the Leftovers. Each conference has 16 teams, with no teams leaving their current conference. This is for football only; basketball doesn't matter.
The Big Ten would add Notre Dame, Pitt, Boston College, and Syracuse.
The SEC would add Texas A&M, FSU, VT, and West Virginia.
The Pac-10 would add BYU, Boise St., Air Force, and New Mexico.
Finally, the Leftovers conference is comprised of the Big 12 plus the ACC and Big East. Texas, Oklahoma, UVA, TCU, Mizzou, Georgia Tech, NC St., Miami, Houston, UCF, North Carolina, Rutgers, Clemson, Ok St. USF, and Louisville.
Now tell me that wouldn't be an awesome thing to watch every season?
It's a lot more likely that the Pac-12 becomes the Pac-16 and gets Texas, TTech, Oklahoma and OSU. Easy rivalries, good geography, big markets, and in general fairly good as far as an identity. A 16-team conference is where it gets really interesting; you can have a 4-team playoff at the end and get 3 extra games if you plan it, plus the conference games are very compelling. Oklahoma wants desperately to recruit more in Cali, TTech and OSU would get a lot more TV revenue, and Texas would be another big team in a big pond. Texas is the tough sell, but I don't think they want to be "texas and 9 other schlubs).
Also, the Pac-12 won't be adding Boise State, New Mexico or BYU any time soon. they don't fit at all in the conference culturally, and Boise State is just a dead zone as far as markets.
It makes great sense geographically and historically. The TX/OK schools plus Utah, Colorado and Arizona/AZ State in one division and the original Pac-8 schools in the other.
No need to add anything other than a championship game.
Makes the Big 10's Legends/Leaders alignment look like the joke that it is.
On the other hand it makes too much sense to ever happen.
It is the most logical, and therefore unlikely, realignment possible. The academics are mostly there, there's plenty of money, the alignments fit, the history, the money, travel budgets, incredible recruiting footprint, and the money's good enough to mention a third time.
Texas would, of course, never go along with it.
Oklahoma is now talking about leaving the Big 12 with a decision expected in three weeks. http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/6923495/oklahoma-sooners-pr... and several other sources
NFL football is a violent game, and traumatic injuries are unfortunate but unavoidable. But are bigger players more likely to be hurt than their smaller peers?

Fortum's TGC-10 Begins Contruction of Nyaganskaya CHP Plant
Finnish electricity generator Fortum has announced that its Russian subsidiary TGC-10 has broken ground on the new Nyaganskaya combined-cycle power plant near Nyagan, a town situated in the gas and oil producing region in the Khanty-Mansisk Autonomous Region in western Siberia, Russia.
The new power plant will comprise three gas-fired units each with a power production capacity of 400MW. The first two units will be commissioned in 2011 and the third in 2012.Once completed, the power plant will have an annual production of 8.6TWh of electricity. According to Russian electricity holding company UES, power consumption in the region is estimated to increase by over 50% by 2010, based on the last five years' growth.
With an estimated total investment cost of about E1 billion, the construction of the Nyaganskaya combined heat and power (CHP) is reportedly the largest single investment project in the Russian power sector.

But aside from the apparent impracticality of the policy, is it something that we are going to see further down the road in the future? Is it even the answer to stop cheating?That lack of information persisted until yesterday, when Kotaku's Stephan Totilo got the chance to spend an hour playing CS:GO. During his session at Valve's Bellevue, Washington headquarters he played through four of the games map's, all of which were remakes of original maps from older versions of Counter-Strike. This was apparently Totilo's first time playing the game (which is much different than the typical shooter) so his comparisons to the older titles, like CS 1.6 and CS: Source, are limited, but he was able to get some useable information. Notable info includes: there will be 7 maps (5 Bomb/Defuse and 2 Hostage Rescue), classic makes like Dust and Nuke are returning (we already knew this) but with slight tweaks to improve play, and that there is a casual mode that does away with the game's system of purchasing weapons (and rewarding winners). The Counter-Strike: Global Offensive public beta goes live worldwide to anyone in possession of a key on 30th November, Valve has announced.
But I think the consensus was that it was unheard of -- I don't think there are many free-to-play games that have then sold for $15. And I think it makes it difficult for us to justify it in terms of the people who have already spent a lot of money on our game, for us to say it now costs $15.Buy an AWP without armor, and you're making a 'glass cannon buy.' It's an enormous risk—you're turning yourself into a slow-moving cannon with no protection, not only to damage, but to the accuracy-disrupting effects of aim punch. Avoid AWPing without full armor except in the most desperate straits, like when your opponent is on the verge of winning the match.The two styles of AWPingFor me, I've been playing FPSess for 12 years now, and I want it to try something different. I wanted to do something different with TI. What my objective was with TI was to explore some different game mechanics and modes. I think we succeeded with some of the elements of TI, but some of the other stuff we tried didn't really pan out so well at all.
British TV network Sky Sports has commissioned a new documentary that's going to tackle the effects – good and bad – eSports gambling can have on a person as well as the industry. The film is created by Joel Dale and another unnamed partner, and he went looking for interviews with players who wish to share their experiences.Weapon skins, however, seemed like a great idea -- players could see their weapons, other players could see them, and skins were easy enough to make in bulk. That's when the team began looking at real-world guns, and how people customized those.But here was the thing -- Valve though that cool camouflage and military skins would be the way forward, but after launching these on the marketplace, they weren't gaining as much traffic as more bright and colorful weapons.
If there's one definite trend to take note of, it's that if an indie game strikes the right chord with people, a la Terraria, it has the chance to sell well for quite some time. That game in particular came out in 2011 and still sold over 1 million copies in 2015. That's some enviable success, to be sure.The first thing you will want to do is sign up for a free account over at Twitch.tv. You aren't required to have an account to watch or comment on streams, although you do get more features by signing up for one. In addition to creating your own videos, signing up for an account will allow you to message and interact with other users, follow streams, and more. Once you have created your account, I recommend going to the Twitch settings, clicking on the Channel and Videos tab, and checking the "Automatically archive my broadcasts" box. This won't save old streams forever, however they will be stored on your channel for the next 14 days. You will also have the ability to export older broadcasts to YouTube and create video highlights that will be saved on your Twitch channel forever.

Valve's Steam Machines, gaming PCs designed to express the best of both worlds, are ostensibly the prototype for this awesome future, and they're now available for preorder. Too bad they're not something you should buy — yet.The Skylake motherboard uses the H170 chipset – relatively untested thus far – which has high-speed IO (HSIO) lanes available to the motherboard manufacturer for various IO allocation.

There's also a new camera transition animation that makes swapping between different players' perspectives less disorienting. On Twitch, matches should appear on the ESLTV_CS channel. Surveys conducted by analyst firm Superdata Research have found that in the US, women play more PC games overall than men.

Gollmitz History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Origins Available: Dutch, German, Spanish
Early Origins of the Gollmitz family
Netherlands, whose principal cities are Amsterdam, Haarlem and Hilversum. These were the locations of the seats of the old Counts of Holland, and so Brederode Castle near Haarlem, is the seat of one of the oldest families. There are many old and quaint towns in the province, including Medemblik, Enkhuizen, Hoorn, Edam, and Monnikendam. In the later history of the surname, the family became a power unto itself and its members were elevated to the ranks of nobility as they grew into a most influential family.
