Wrangler Introducing First-Ever Line of Moisturizing Jeans
(LONDON) -- They're smooth, they're silky and they promise to leave your legs feeling soft for days after you've worn them.
We're talking about Wrangler's newest line of jeans. It's called Spa Denim -- jeans infused with high-performance skincare ingredients to keep your legs from cracking from the sometimes dehydrating effect of wearing denim.
Denim lovers can get their favorite skinny pair from a choice of three lines including Aloe Vera, Olive Extract and Smooth Legs. The price: a cool $140.
Model Lizzie Jagger is featured on the U.K. Vogue website wearing a traditional skinny pair.
"They definitely feel cooler than regular jeans," said Lizzie Jagger in an online promotional film. "After a day wearing them, my legs feel great -- they come out feeling more silky than usual."
The effects of the moisturizers can last up to 15 days after your first wear, according to Vogue. After day 15, spa denim fashionistas will be able to purchase a spray formula that will keep legs feeling silky-smooth for up to 97 wearings.
But don't expect soft legs so soon. These smooth threads won't be available until Jan. 28 through ASOS, an online retailer based in the U.K.

Shipers hurls complete-game no-hitter
Mariners' No. 11 prospect allows three baserunners, fans two
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | July 11, 2012 8:14 PM
"I got a little bit more nervous there," Shipers said. "I just kept doing what I was doing the whole game, just pounding the strike zone and hoping they hit it to one of my guys. And they did."
Ranked as the Mariners' No. 11 prospect, Shipers tossed a nine-inning no-hitter on Wednesday as the Class A Clinton LumberKings blew out the West Michigan Whitecaps, 10-0.
The no-hitter is the first in the Midwest League since May 4, when the LumberKings themselves fell victim to Wisconsin's Chad Thompson and Mark Williams. Domingo Valdez was the last player to toss a no-no for Clinton (July 9, 2003), while Scott Dunn was the last to complete a nine-inning effort for the team (perfect game; Aug. 3, 2000).
"It feels great, it was pretty exciting," Shipers said. "It was the first one in my career. I enjoyed it a lot."
Only three West Michigan batters reached base on the night -- two on walks and one on a throwing error by second baseman Daniel Paolini. Shipers generated 15 groundouts, induced seven flyouts and fanned two in the outing.
"I had good life, a lot of sink on my four-seamer tonight," Shipers said. "I mainly just threw that and a couple two-seamers. Just let them drive it into the ground.
"I'm a contact pitcher, so they can hit the ball. I get ahead early and hope they hit it."
Both walks came with two outs in the fourth. Eugenio Suarez drew a free pass, then moved to second on a wild pitch by Shipers. But Aaron Westlake walked moments later.
Shipers got out of the frame by inducing a flyout off the bat of Jeff McVaney.
"It was just a lack of focus, I guess," Shipers said. "I made some good pitches that didn't get the call, but it happens. ... I was under control. I just didn't execute my pitches."
The LumberKings more than lived up to their moniker, racking up 12 hits in the win. Kevin Rivers led the squad with three base knocks, including a double, while Jamal Austin, Ramon Morla and Daniel Paolini each drove in two.
Did that affect Shipers' approach on the mound? Not one bit.
"I pitched like the game was tied," he said. "I didn't change anything. I just kept going after batters."
Drafted in the 16th round of the 2010 Draft, the Mariners went over slot to pry him away from Missouri State. The investment proved to be a wise one when Shipers struck out 47 batters in 49 2/3 innings last year for the Class A Short-Season Everett AquaSox.
Shipers has followed up on that campaign by compiling a 3.18 ERA through 99 innings this year and earning a place in the Midwest League's All-Star Game -- despite allowing 20 runs in 25 1/3 innings in June.
"I got pretty tensed up while I was pitching," he said. "I was trying to do too much with my pitches and guide the ball to where I wanted it and not really just let it go. It wasn't working, so I just said the heck with it. I just started throwing again."
Considering Wednesday's performance, it seems Shipers' new approach has been working out. Not surprisingly, the 21-year-old left-hander isn't planning on switching things up any time soon.
"I'm just going to keep on my routine and not really change anything," he said. "If it's working, don't change it."

WDC, STX Rising: Longbow Ups to Buy; Hard Drives Grow Beyond PC Market
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of disk drive makers are marching higher following an endorsement from Joseph Wittine of Longbow Research, who raised his ratings on both Western Digital (WDC) and Seagate Technology (STX) to Buy from Hold, with $80 and $54 price targets, respectively, writing that the market has growing beyond the personal computer in volume terms.
Shipments have bottomed and things look brighter the rest of this year, he thinks:
Along with WD, Seagate, and other HDD suppliers, we believe the HDD industry TAM bottomed in 1HCY13 and that shipments going forward can grow led by enterprise and branded drives. Importantly, while PC HDDs are still the majority of shipments, non-PC HDD sales are now eclipsing PC HDD sales for WD and Seagate. We consequently expect sales to trend at least flat going forward, which is well above the FY15 (June) consensus for a -4% sales decline.
The cloud computing phenomenon offers new growth, as "most datasets and workloads shifted to the cloud will be stored on HDDs (~75%), and in Flash both companies have expanded their offerings over the last 90 days, limiting a significant investor concern."
Wittine also mentions the consolidation that's happened among suppliers, already widely recognized on the Street, noting "compared to 90 days ago, our distributor market checks show a modest 1 week extension in some SATA HDD enterprise lead times, and steady prices for 3.5" desktop PC HDDs at the wholesale level."
And lastly, he thinks valuation is attractive:
Despite the significant YTD run in the shares, valuation remains well below the historical forward P/Es of 10x. The shares of both trade near valuation to normalize as investors become confident the HDD market has bottomed and sales can grow. Based on our go-forward free cash forecasts of ~$2.1B for WD and ~$2.0B for Seagate, the shares trade at EV/Free Cash yields in the mid- to high-teens, and most of this cash is being returned to shareholders.
I will mention as well that over the transom this morning came a brief item from ABR Investment Strategy's CEO Brad Gastwirth endorsing Western shares. Writes Gastwirth,
While WDC is up over 20% since we added to our Trading long list earlier this year, we still see another 20%+ upside. Street estimates are too low and we expect WDC to handily beat street expectations of a $1.78EPS in Q2. Pricing in hard disk drives has been relatively stable throughout the quarter and street expectations are just too low. Better pricing and mix is not built into street models and we would be buyers of WDC at these levels.
Shares of WDC are higher by $1.74, or 2.9%, at $62.45, while shares of Seagate are up $1.94, or 4.5%, at $44.64.

The Great British Bake Off has us baking again. But behind the elaborate pastries and the perfect pies it's the simplicity of baking where the pleasure lies. We revisit a classic
It's safe to say that the Great British Bake Off has been a success: BAFTA and Rose D'or awards, Radio Times Award nominations and ratings figures averaging at 4 million per episode.
Today, the show is either in production or showing in 13 countries including Norway, Australia, Belgium, France and the Netherlands.
Baking is back and everyone wants a slice.
The truth is, though, that in some parts of the world, baking never went away. In some parts of the world, long walks end in buttered brown bread and huge mugs of tea. In some parts of the world, smoked salmon must be eaten with an oven-fresh loaf and a squeeze of lemon.
We happen to know where that part of the world is.
The Food Revolution sped through Ireland and its legacy is a tasty one. Foraging is a food trend favourite and Burren Lamb is gracing plates from Clare to Canberra. Galway and Louth oysters are making their way steadily up the list of most delicious delicacies, and cafés have embraced the cappuccino as a long lost beverage brother.
In short, Ireland is tasty.
But no matter how funky food gets or how innovative chefs become, a country should always save space for the classics.
In Ireland's case, that classic is Soda Bread.
Good Food Ireland isn't just on the pulse of what's tasty in Ireland – it is the pulse. When GFI recently quizzed Derek O'Brien, Principle of the National Bakery School Dublin, about the impact of baking's new-found popularity he was pleased to say the least:
"People are waking up to the smell of real bread again – I'm thrilled and delighted."
As O'Brien goes on to say, the mass production method for bread "was commercially developed after WWII to produce bread quickly and cheaply".
Emer Fallon manager and chef at Louis Mulcahy's Café on the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, has placed freshly baked bread, cakes and tarts at the core of the café's menu. For Emer, the baking revolution is a happy return to basics.
"I think for a while Irish people were seduced by the lushness of white yeast breads," Emer tells us, "but there's been a huge swing back to our own native brown soda bread."
And why wouldn't there be. Ireland's best bread didn't become a national institution for nothing. Emer again:
"When you think about it – it's a complex carbohydrate, it's full of fibre, and it keeps you full for much longer than a slice of processed white bread would. It's also seriously delicious."
Amen to that.

What the professionals might not tell you is how staggeringly simple it is to make and bake your own soda bread. Don't believe us? Try the easy peasy recipe provided to us by Good Food Ireland below.
Ingredients (1 Loaf)
• 250g (10oz) wholemeal flour
• 220g (9oz) white flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 280ml buttermilk
• 1 beaten egg
Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375° F / Gas Mark 5
Sift together the flours, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add the buttermilk and beaten egg to the mix.
Knead on a floured surface until smooth. Shape into a round and place on a baking tray. Make a cross shape on top of the cake and place in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
Serve slightly warm with real butter...delicious. Easy to make at home, but you can't beat real Irish soda bread. And there's only one place you'll get that.

Today, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is in Riga, Latvia, the hundredth country she has visited as U.S. Secretary of State. In her present capacity, she has traveled more than 830,000 miles to date. Secretary Clinton told an audience of Latvian youths, "I'm very happy that my 100th country was Latvia, because I have such a great admiration and incredible sense of friendship and solidarity with your country, and so it's a perfect time to be here."
In Riga, Secretary Clinton also met with Latvian Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis and Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics. Secretary Clinton and the Latvian officials discussed a range of issues, including our joint commitment to NATO missions and Latvia's recovery from economic crisis. During a press availability with the Foreign Minister, Secretary Clinton said:
"We had an excellent conversation about a range of issues. Let me say a quick word about Syria. Latvia and the United States have worked closely together to increase pressure on the Assad regime, to provide humanitarian assistance to Syrian civilians, who are bearing the brunt of the regime's brutal assault, and to support the efforts of Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan to try to prepare the way for a democratic transition. We have also joined together in NATO in solidarity behind our NATO ally Turkey.
"In recent days, Kofi Annan has accelerated plans for a democratic transition. I will discuss these issues with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Saint Petersburg tomorrow. And then I look forward to participating in a meeting organized by Joint Special Envoy Annan in Geneva on Saturday.
"Turning to Afghanistan, I thanked the Foreign Minister for Latvia's contributions to our shared NATO mission there. Two hundred Latvian troops are fighting side by side with American and Afghan forces. About half of all the shipments in the Northern Distribution Network pass through the port of Riga, and this has been a crucial supply line for Afghanistan -- and at the moment the only supply line. And I want to applaud Latvia for making a significant financial commitment to help sustain the Afghan national security forces after 2014."
Secretary Clinton and Foreign Minister Rinkevics spoke about the crucial role of democracy and human rights in making Europe stronger and more prosperous. Secretary Clinton said, "Latvia stands as a success story that showcases the benefits of integration into European and transatlantic institutions. But this historic project in Europe is not complete, and we all need to redouble our efforts to extend stability, security, prosperity, and democracy to the entire continent. It's not always easy, but I want to thank Latvia for not only demonstrating by example and being a model to other countries in Europe, but calling for the release of political prisoners, calling to strengthen democracy in neighbors such as Belarus and Ukraine."
Secretary Clinton also participated in a street renaming ceremony in honor of former Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles, whose Welles Declaration formalized the U.S. refusal to recognize the forced incorporation of the Baltic Republics into the Soviet Union. During the ceremony, Secretary Clinton said:
"...As World War II progressed, many argued that we should recognize Stalin's conquest of the Baltic States. But Welles didn't give in. He believed that the United States needed to stand firm on the principles of sovereignty and self-government for those nations under both Nazi and Soviet control. The Welles Declaration was more than just a symbolic show of support. From 1940 until the Soviet Union ended its occupation, the United States never recognized Soviet control of Latvia.
"Back at the State Department in Washington, we hang the flags of all the countries with which the United States has a diplomatic relationship. And for 51 years, as the hammer and sickle flew overhead here in Riga, we never took down the maroon and white stripes of the Latvian flag. Through the alliances of World War II, in the darkest hours of the Cold War, at countless bargaining tables where American and Soviet leaders struggled to solve problems, our commitment to the sovereignty of the Latvian people never wavered.
"Now that sovereignty and freedom are secure, Latvia once again is a fully recognized, independent nation in the eyes of the entire world. And Latvians are at the forefront of working toward a Europe that is whole, free, democratic, and at peace."
Marking the latest step in U.S.-Latvian cooperation in promoting democracy, human rights, and economic development, Secretary Clinton and Foreign Minister Rinkevics today signed the U.S.-Latvian Agreement on Supporting Justice Sector Reform in Moldova. The Secretary and Foreign Minister also signed an agreement to renew the U.S.-Latvia Fulbright Academic Exchange Program, furthering cooperation between students and scholars, as well as educational, scientific, and research institutions of Latvia and the United States.

Eric in New Mexico writes:
Well, I hear these milage stats and obviously stepping into 100 countries to be "America's face to the world" in less than 4 years in no small feat, but what does it mean?
Well I figure the public is getting maximum diplomatic effort for their every taxdollar, and I sure hope the Secretary of State gets "frequent flier miles" with that, so she can go back to her favorite places and be a tourist enjoying free airfare in her return to private life.
Speaking of milage, at this pace she's on track to top a cool million miles before Jan 20th next year, assuming that's her anticipated date of retirement, or date set at the pleasure of the President, should a nominee be in process to be confirmed.
Has anyone @ State seen the nice folks from the Guiness Book of World Records snooping about for confirmation documentation on these stats?...there may be one there for the record book.
I sure hope they give the incoming Sec. of State a new plane , because I'm pretty sure Madam Secretary has all but flown the wings off the current one.
( which reminds me that in all the years I've been on Dipnote, I have yet to see a post by the Secretary's flight and ground crew who make her travel possible. And they deserve a post of their own on Dipnote simply for the ammount of overtime the Secretary has most probably had them doing, just to keep her flying from hither to yon in good order, and on time.)
I loved what Sec. Clinton said in regards to "our commitment to the sovereignty of the Latvian people never wavered."
It confirms the line of reasoning I took with regards to Russia's "aversion" to "interference in soveregnity" had merit and when I said "should be" in the following excerpt from that topic thread, I knew that must be the basic concept of "Sovreignity" as democracies practice it, but other than the soveriegn rights given to the people in our founding documents, I haven't read it as a statement of foreign policy, though I imagine it exists fairly similar in tone and meaning to this;
"It should be the stated public policy of the US that the soveregnity of any nation is held in trust and preserved by its people, whereby any government is simply the temporary steward of their sovereign rights as a people.
Once any government has abused the people's rights to excercise sovereign control over its government institutions and leadership, such "stewardship" as that government may have excercised is thus rendered illegitimate and revokable at any time, by both the people and any nation willing to stand with the people to protect and restore their soverign duty to preserve their nation."
---end excerpt
Reagan once called for Mr. Gorbachev to "tear down this wall"...and with regards to Assad and his regime, nothing would please me more than for President Obama to publicly call upon Mr. Putin to take on some national responsibility and "dismantle the 'Frankenstein' Russia has helped to create."
Save us and the rest of the willing from having to be doing it the hard way in the process, and asking if not stongly suggesting Russia step aside if unwilling to be a part of "regime replacement therapy".
It's like Russia's had this dog on a chain in its yard for years and finaly one day it gets loose and runs around the neighborhood attacking everything in sight and folks grab their guns and knock on Russia's door and say "Hey man, your dog got loose and put our kids in the hospital, you wanna help us put your dog down or what?"
And the Russians don't seem to have the good sense to join them, amid denials "he's not my pet, that's just a stray I feed once in awhile."
Moral to this story is that when the international community invites you to a "boot party" in a dictator's honor, it'll probably save lives to put on your muck abouts and wade in to make short work of him.
Fact is, the Syrian opposition is inviting the willing to their party, as folks are chanting in the street, "Assad, we're coming to get you!"
And they could definately use a little help leveling the playing field.

Administrators at Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, CA cancelled classes today after a student threatened the school in a bizarre YouTube video. The teenage internet vigilante has now been arrested.
According to the Daily Breeze, the video "included an animated face of an evil wizard with a mustache and goatee" (not pictured). The student delivered his creepy message through voice distortion software. Reporter Larry Altman renders it as follows:
Dear brothers and sisters of Bishop Montgomery. Recently our beloved friend [inaudible] was expelled, and so we are taking action. We are the resistance. It will be in three days of time. Bishop Montgomery shall fall. It shall decline. It shall never be the same. It will bounce, bounce, bounce to motherf——— hell and beyond [...] Witchcraft and wizardry, our wands cut deep. We are your (inaudible). Catholics are our sheep and so on. [...] We are anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. Expect us.
School officials learned of the video on Saturday and, despite the nonspecific nature of the threat, chose to close the school today (it will reopen tomorrow). Says Sgt. Steven Jenkinson, "From that point, our detectives started investigating and, through their investigation, which involved the FBI to some degree, a 16-year old sophomore was identified as a suspect and arrested." The suspect, whose name has not been released, has been charged with making criminal threats, and taken to juvenile hall. The "resistance" language is reminiscent of Occupy Wall Street, but the video's maker needs to learn that nonviolent protest doesn't include threatening to cut his school with a wizard wand.

Fact Sheet
Progressive Multifocal Leucoencephalopathy (PML)
February 16, 2012
What Is PML?Progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy is a serious viral infection of the brain.
"Encephalo" means brain. "Pathy" means disease. Encephalopathy is a disease of the brain. "Leuco-" (or "leuko") means pale or white. Leucoencephalopathy is a disease of the white matter of the brain.
"Progressive" means that this disease gets worse in a short time. "Multifocal" means that it shows up in several places at the same time.
Researchers estimate that about 6% of people with AIDS develop PML. Most cases of PML show up in people with CD4 cell counts below 100. The exact rate is hard to know because PML is difficult to diagnose.
Most cases of PML used to be fatal. People diagnosed with PML lived an average of 6 months, and most died within 2 years. However, if people with PML start taking strong antiretroviral medications (ARVs) to control their HIV, they can survive much longer. Now more than half of people with HIV and PML survive for at least two years.
The "JC" virus causes PML. Between 80-85% of all adults are exposed to this virus worldwide. In people with weakened immune systems, JC virus can become active.
How Can PML Be Detected?The first symptoms of PML are weakness or coordination problems in an arm or leg. There may be difficulty thinking or speaking. Vision and memory problems, seizures and headaches can occur.
These symptoms can also occur with other opportunistic infections, including toxoplasmosis, lymphoma, inner ear infections, or cryptococcal meningitis. It is important to rule out these other diseases.
PML can be diagnosed using a scan of the brain by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Another way to test for PML is by checking spinal fluid. The sample is taken by inserting a needle into the spinal canal. This procedure is called a spinal tap.
How Is PML Treated?A major problem with treating any brain infection is the "blood-brain barrier." The blood vessels around the brain are different from the rest of the body. They are "tightly woven" to protect the brain from toxic substances. Chemicals that dissolve in fat can get through. Those that dissolve in water can't. Unfortunately, this includes most antibiotics and many other medications.
There is currently no proven treatment for PML. Research studies have had conflicting results. Some possible treatments have not been carefully studied. However, PML has slowed down or stopped in some patients taking strong ARVs to fight HIV. Strengthening the immune system is currently the best way to treat PML. This Fact Sheet 483).
Ara-C (Cytosine arabinoside or cytarabine) has been tried against PML. It was given intravenously, or pumped directly into the brain. It seemed to work in one small study, but not in later ones. Ara-C is very toxic, and damages bone marrow.
High-dose AZT has been tried against PML, because it crosses the blood-brain barrier. Other substances that have been tried with different degrees of success include acyclovir, heparin, peptide-T, beta interferon, dexamethasone, n-acetylcysteine, topotecan and cidofovir.
Because PML can progress rapidly, it is important to begin treatments quickly.
The Bottom LinePML is a viral infection of the brain caused by the JC virus. It is fatal in about 50% of cases. It can be confused with other medical conditions.
There is no approved treatment for PML, although several treatments may be helpful. Strengthening the immune system using antiretroviral therapy is currently the best approach. Any treatment must be started as early as possible. Combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) may slow the progress of PML.

And 7 Reasons I Want A Boy
As I mentioned in my initial "yep, I'm pregnant!" post, we're planning to the find out the sex of our third baby to be. In fact, we can learn the gender whenever we want but we haven't yet.
We found out the sex with our first two kids (at the 20 week anatomy scan) and I wouldn't have had it any other way. As I always say, having a human come out of your vagina is a big enough surprise for me. Not knowing what day that human might decide to show up or how long he/she will take come out?Also a big surprise.
So wrapping my head around something as major as gender ahead of time calms my holy crap I'm having a baby anxiety. But mostly I just think it's really fun and useful (I'm type A all the way) to plan and get excited and fantasize about my future
facebook besthairbuy little man or little girl. And this time Nick is desperate to find out. As is everyone else in our family.
I had one of the new chromosome blood tests done at 10 weeks and they were able to determine whether there's a Y chromosome present. When the geneticist called with the results (all fine), she asked if we wanted to know the sex. I told her not yet.
Plus: 8 Things I Do As A Mom I Never Thought I'd Do
When I saw my doctor a few days later I had him write down the gender on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope. And that envelope has been in my desk drawer ever since. I'm not really sure why I'm putting it off, but I swear I forgot the thing was even there.
Maybe it's because the whole we're having a third kid thing doesn't even feel real yet. Nor does the pregnancy. I haven't felt too sick (thanks to an abundance of Goldfish on hand at all times) and I'm just starting to get an "I ate too many bagels" gut. I'm not even in maternity clothes yet, though I probably should be. And I'm so busy with my other two and with life that the big reveal just hasn't really plagued me in the way it seems to be plaguing my sisters and mother who text, call and email me daily to ask when I might tell them who will be joining our family this fall.
There's also a delayed gratification thing going on I like being able to anticipate finding out and once we do, that carrot is gone.
But this is perhaps the clincher: It just doesn't matter to me what we're having. It goes without saying that all I've ever wanted with any pregnancy is to have a healthy baby. Period. And, yes, I already have one of each, which really makes this third gender a moot point. As Alex said last night when we asked him what he wanted: "I don't care if it's a boy or a girl, I just want a baby and I want it to be awesome and happy and cool and funny. And a little crazy because I'm a little crazy." I'll take it!
Still, I have a few reasons to pull for a boy and a few to pull for a girl. And before we find out, which will be very soon, I want to share them with you to get your thoughts on gender preference. Here goes:
7 reasons I want a girl:
1. My sister, Meghan, had a baby girl six weeks ago and if I have a girl, they will be cousin BFFS. They'll be seven months apart, live four minutes from each other and go to the same school in the same grade. How fun would that be?
2. I have two sisters who are my best friends and I can't imagine my life without them. There is nothing like having a sister and I think Nora would really benefit from that experience. Also, they'll be less than four years apart whereas if Al gets a brother, they'll be six years apart.
3. It seems like girls are the ones who stay close to home when they grow up (boys often move to wherever their wives are from at least this is very much the case with most of my family and friends). Something tells me Nora might bolt so having one more chance that we get some good family lovin and grandkid time in our golden years sounds good to me.
4. I feel like all the diseases and ailments I read about that can affect kids are less likely to affect girls.
5. At least in my house, girls are much neater than boys and
besthairbuy facebook better at finding stuff. Nora actually picks up after herself and seems to enjoy putting toys away. And if I send Alex to find, say, his shin guards and he can't, Nora will always go looking and unearth them in a matter of seconds. That's a useful skill to have around.
6. I think (I hope!) I will be a really good mom when it comes to raising girls because I am myself a girl and a pretty strong one at that and I feel like I have lots of good girl qualities and skills to pass on. Apart from hair brushing, obviously.
7. Nora and her sister could share a room and clothes.

7 reasons I want a boy:
1. Boys require much less maintenance than girls both emotionally and physically. Having one of each I can confidently say that the boys Nick and I make are way easier than the girls. No long hair to brush, no lady parts to clean, they can pee outside (or in a bottle in the car) no tights, no moods, no drama and I'm just talking about the early years. I can't even imagine how much easier boys seem once girls get into the dreaded tween years.
2. Nora would have both an older and a younger brother to watch her back. She's already a wild child at 3 so something tells me she's gonna need it.
3. Nora would get to be the only girl in the family, which may temper the middle child syndrome a little, which I fear is already setting in. The night we told the kids I was pregnant, after some fanfare, she left the kitchen and went into the living room to do a puzzle. After a few minutes she shouted, "Ugh, are you guys still talking about the baby? That's so annoyin!"
4. We haven't had a boy in my extended family for a while. The last three kids born were Nora, Sofia and Emily. We could use some testosterone and a boy would feel extra special and be seriously doted on by the girls. Also, since I haven't had to give them away, I have a ton of cute boy clothes left over from Alex. (Which reminds me: I find it much easier to dress a boy.)
5. I have a few boy names I really like, but thinking of girl names is so much more stressful for me.
6. Raising girls in this day and age scares the crap out of me. I feel like we got lucky with Nora because she's tough as nails but still, a day doesn't go by where I don't read some headline about some shocking girl behavior (or victimization) and shudder.
7. In my experience, boys are so much sweeter and more lovable and squishy toward their mothers. Alex is a sweet, sweet boy. Nora loves me and hugs me and she is a lot of awesome things, but sweet just isn't one of them.
OK, that's my short list. As you can see, for every pro on one side, I can think of a pro on the other (ditto on the negatives). Really, it's a win win. Now I guess I have to open that envelope, huh?

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about motor control.
Motors provide the driving power in almost every stage of the manufacturing and production process. With this much productive capacity at stake, proper understanding of motor control is critical. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about discrete motor controls.
Can you describe what a push button is and what its components are?
We most often use push buttons to manually energize or de-energize a control circuit. Push buttons come in many sizes, colors, and configurations. However, they all consist of three basic components — operator, legend plate, and contact block.
The operator is the part you push or pull to open and close the contacts. Styles include the flush head, extended head, and mushroom head. Special-purpose operators are for specific applications — such as an emergency stop (E-stop) mushroom button that complies with global standards.
Legend plates are the labels that are installed around a push button and identify its purpose. They come in many sizes, colors, and languages. Examples of label text include RUN, START, and STOP.
The contact block may house many sets of contacts that open and close when you operate the switch. The normal contact configuration allows for one normally open and one normally closed set of contacts within a contact block. A switch may contain stacked contacts that change state with a single push of a button.
What are the two most common methods of motor starting?
Full-voltage (across-the-line) and reduced-voltage (popular for low-horsepower motors). Before choosing the full-voltage method, check that the driven load can handle the full starting torque without damage. Make sure the resulting current demand doesn't cause excessive voltage drop. Advantages of full-voltage starting are maximum efficiency and maximum torque at startup. Motors using full-voltage starting will usually be up to speed in seconds, but the current rush can hinder other equipment in the plant.
Reduced-voltage starting occurs when the windings receive less than full-line voltage or when the winding connections (such as part winding or wye-delta) reduce the starting current. It reduces the torque the motor develops and the current it draws. In some methods, such as autotransformer or wye-delta starting, the line current and torque reduce in direct proportion. In other methods, such as series impedance or solid-state reduced voltage starting, torque changes in a squared relationship to the current.
The main reason for using reduced voltage is to control either the inrush current or torque during motor starting. Current-draw restrictions may require larger motors to start with reduced voltage. You'll also see this, regardless of horsepower, in applications where reducing torque extends equipment life or improves the process.
What are the methods of connecting control voltage, and how do they differ?
The three methods are common control, separate control, and transformer control. With common control, you take the control voltage directly from the power line. Thus, the control voltage and line voltage share a common source. You often encounter this method in commercial, light industrial, or agricultural applications. You'll rarely see it in applications over 240V. The advantage of common control is you don't need additional components, transformers, or power supplies. The disadvantage is you must take extra measures to guard operators and maintenance people against shock hazards.
When using separate control, you take the control voltage from a source outside the starter enclosure and bring it to the starter. It's possible to wire several starters from one source, such as a transformer, and provide some cost-savings. Separate control is a good option when you need a separate power supply for other purposes — for example, when you need to power motor instrumentation. If you must maintain control power, then separate control is essential. You can best meet this last criterion by adding a UPS to the control power system.
A disadvantage of separate control is you must add supplemental circuitry, such as a disconnect auxiliary contact, to meet the rules of 430.74 of the NEC. Another disadvantage is increased wiring cost, because you're bringing the control voltage in from a second source rather than from the motor's power source.
Transformer control is the most popular method of deriving control voltage. The primary of the transformer connects to the power line inside the enclosure but after the disconnecting means. The secondary feeds the control circuit. The preferred secondary voltage today is 120V. Currently, 24V control — particularly the DC associated with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) — is gaining popularity. Because your PLC typically runs on 120V, you'll need to power it from a 120/208V transformer. If you design your distribution correctly, this transformer won't power convenience receptacles or lighting. As a result, you should consider buying a dedicated transformer.
What are the different types of control relays, and what should I consider when determining which type of relay to use?
Relays come in many different ratings and configurations and serve many different functions. For example, you can use relays as input/output (I/O) interfaces to devices that have solid-state I/O, like PLCs and drives.
Control relays actuate contactors that switch line power to motors and other high-current loads. Relays, on the other hand are low-power switching devices. General-purpose, industrial, and timing relays are available with IEC and NEMA ratings. These are ideal for applications that require a quick, low-cost, average life and easy-to-replace installation.
One manufacturer uses industrial relays (machine control relays) to switch solenoids and provide logic switching for control circuits. Industrial relays are generally repairable, can switch higher currents than general-purpose relays, and have as many as 12 contacts.
When looking at a control diagram with timers, I get confused by the terminology. What are the designations for timing relays, and what do they mean?
Timing relays provide sequential logic within a control circuit. You can set up a time delay to occur upon sensing when a signal comes or goes. Timing relays have both timed contacts and instantaneous contacts. The designations for the timed contacts are NOTO, NCTO, NOTC, and NCTC.
What do these mean? NO means normally open, and NC means normally closed. TO means timed open, and TC means timed closed.
TO contacts begin timing when you apply power to the timer — they change from their normal condition after power up. Conversely, TC contacts begin timing when you remove power. A NOTO contact changes from open to closed immediately when you apply power. After you remove power, the contacts remain closed until the end of the timing period — and revert back to open. The NCTO works in a similar manner, except the contacts are in the opposite position and take the opposite action.
What are the three types of limit switches, and what are the most common applications of these instruments?
Limit switches convert mechanical motion into electrical signals. Factory-sealed limit switches have either a prewired cable or factory-installed quick disconnect receptacle. They offer reduced installation time and can operate in a variety of harsh environments. Installers can quickly and easily replace these switches because the wiring will remain intact when you remove the switch, which contains the contacts. Some switches provide diagnostic capabilities and output options.
Two popular applications of limit switches are the indication of end-of-travel and misalignment. Use limit switches where you must know travel or position — especially on such things as transfer machines, conveyors, and valves.
How do the several overload class relay (OCR) designations relate to specific application needs? What considerations apply to choosing a motor protection device?
U.S. industry standards designate an OCR by a trip-class number (10, 20, or 30) that indicates maximum time in seconds at which the OCR will trip when carrying a current equal to 600% of its current rating. This rating is directly related to the thermal starting capacity of a motor. This is referred to as the safe stall time (SST). General applications use a Class 20 OCR, while specific applications may require a Class 10 or 30 OCR. You'll often find Class 10 with hermetic motors, submersible pumps, or motors with short locked rotor time capability. You'll typically find Class 30 overloads with high-inertia loads or hard-to-start loads with a long acceleration time. Motor manufacturers have traditionally designed NEMA motors to Class 20 overload protection criteria, while designing IEC motors to Class 10 overload protection criteria.
Motor control involves selecting from many options. To make the right choices, determine what you want the motor to do, draw out your control scheme, and choose the components that will do the job.

text: Hi Jeff: Going on some old memory here, but I seem to remember that the PG compilers had a switch which allowed specific linking against GNU libraries. I presume that the Intel compiler has similar options. My initial guess is that there are ABI differences across the libraries. If you can set up a machinefile so as to run all the code in multiple threads on a single machine, you might be able to see this (especially if you attach a debugger to the process). The GNU linkage options at least get them speaking the same ABI (hopefully, as there are differences between 2.96 and 3.x (x<2) and 3.x (x>2). See if you can find those option for PG, and Intel. Retry the builds. See if the error moves.

A Smörgåsbord of Alternative Energy Treats à la Carte Sure to Set Off Some Fireworks!
|photo credit: Sarah Camp
Independence Day is here, and it's time to fire up the grill with a few tasty bites from the overflowing pantry of alternative energy. For an appetizer, dig into some ocean algae that may one day soon be a superior producer of biofuels, at least according to researchers from Kansas State University. Well, don't actually eat them, because they are probably not too tasty, and that's good news, because using algae to make fuel could leave more corn (that would otherwise be used for biofuels) on the market for much-needed food supplies.
Another way to use tiny living things to make energy for us is to let microbes turn hard-to-reach oil into easier-to-extract natural gas. That is the goal of a group of Canadian and British scientists. If their research goes well, injecting microorganisms into wells formerly deemed depleted could renew production. And when will this exciting development get those gasoline prices below $4 a gallon again? Well, let's see, the original biological process took tens of millions of years, so….

What better way to have fun in the sun on Independence Day than with a solar powered car. A group of students from Iowa State University are planning to compete in 2,400-mile race from Texas to Canada in a $400,000 sun-powered vehicle that looks like a souped-up ping-pong table-but hey, that's a zero emissions ping-pong table that can cruise at over 30 miles per hour. More (solar) power to them!
You may one day declare your independence from less efficient chemical batteries to power your stuff as fuel cells become more efficient. Researchers in Germany are working with carbon nanotubes to make components for fuels cells that are ten times lighter and weight far less than conventional amorphous carbon structures used now. Even more impressive, these tiny-only several atoms thick-tubes boast 1000 times the electrical conductivity of their conventional counterparts.
For something a little more practical for you, the average American celebrating the quintessential summer holiday, you can get your very own fuel-cell-powered car and its solar-powered hydrogen production plant (which makes fresh fuel for the fuel cell)-and the whole package is only $99.99! Well, the model car is only about six inches long, but the science is real-and very cool. You're sure to be the hit of the picnic.

As the warm July breezes whisk away your paper plates and blow that BBQ smoke right back in your face, rather than complain about the weather, celebrate the fact that Texas has the fastest-growing wind power industry in the USA. An ultra-clean, and only somewhat noisy, wind turbine-or a whole farm of them-may soon be coming to a desolate hilltop near you. The question is, "What's the next big thing in Texas energy?" and the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. Big time oilman T. Boone Pickens is betting $10 billion on that.
Another hot topic (aren't they all?) for this hot month is geothermal energy-producing steam with the natural heat from the earth's interior. I just got back from Iceland, where that clean and renewable source provides 90% of home heating energy-and allows for really long hot showers. Here in the US, we could supply the electrical needs for over 260 million Americans if we tapped in to only 5% of the geothermal potential available in our own underground. There are plenty of challenges to make this work, but you can bet that as hydrocarbon prices soar, those obstacles won't seem quite so big.
As that sweet smelling smoke from the wieners and burgers on the grill wafts into the upper atmosphere, don't overlook the contribution that it adds to your carbon footprint, and how that footprint contributes to global warming and climate change. Scientists are realizing just how hard it is for individuals to influence those numbers significantly-even the austere lifestyle of a Buddhist monk produces about 1/3 the carbon emissions of a typical energy-hungry American. So do we just give up? Of course not-we need to think more about alternatives already mentioned here-and walk more. The person who comes up with the carbon-free barbecue that still delivers that smoky flavor might be up for a Nobel Prize, at least in my book.
When you finally get back to the crib, your belly full of beef (or veggie burgers) and your eyes glazed from too many red, white and blue exploding chrysanthemums and Catherine wheels, you can settle back into your chair and read up on more energy topics the old-fashioned way-by the cozy glow of a zero-emissions gravity-powered lamp. Now, that's a down-to-earth solution!
Happy Fourth of July!

Transfer Credit Equivalencies
The University at Albany Transfer Course Equivalency databank has been designed to show you how credit from other colleges will transfer to UAlbany. Whether you are thinking about applying, have already been accepted, or are a current UAlbany student thinking about taking summer or winter courses elsewhere, this databank will make the transfer process easier for you.
Courses are accepted for transfer credit provided that a grade of C- or higher was achieved and the individual course is parallel to a course offered at the University at Albany.
The maximum number of 90 transfer credits from two-year colleges, four-year colleges or a combination of colleges, may be applied toward the baccalaureate degree requirements.
An estimate of the total number of credits accepted for transfer will be made when admission is granted. Once an enrollment deposit is received, a final degree audit will be provided. When the student registers for the first time, he or she will be provided with a tentative evaluation of course credits and degree progress. The tentative evaluation is subject to final approval and modification following the initial advisement and programming session. This session occurs during the Transfer Planning Conference and a review of the evaluation of course work is offered. All transfer students are required to attend a Transfer Planning Conference.
Except for the University's writing requirements, for which a grade of C or higher or S is required, transfer work graded D+, D or D- in a course that applied to one or more of the University's General Education requirements may be applied toward fulfilling the requirements. This is true even though the student received no graduation credit for the course.
The transfer student's designated class standing (class year) is determined by the number of credits accepted for transfer (see the "Class Standing" section of the Undergraduate Bulletin). However, for many majors (combined major/minor in the sciences, for example) overall class standing should not be construed to mean that the student is necessarily on schedule within major/minor sequence. This is especially true for students who transfer to the University from technical and applied programs, or for those who change major interest and/or career goals at the time of transfer.
The prospective transfer student should examine closely those sections of the Undergraduate Bulletin which deal with minor requirements, residence requirements, the General Education requirements and the writing requirement.
To view the Course Transfer Equivalency Databank, click here.
Transfer equivalencies for institutions and courses previously approved for transfer credit are available online from the University at Albany's Transfer Equivalency Databank on the Registrar's web page. Courses not included in the data bank may still be awarded transfer credit but require a course description or syllabus be attached to the transfer credit permission form. Post-matriculation transfer courses may not meet some requirements for the major, minor, and/or liberal arts credit requirements. Also, they cannot meet residency requirements. Students are strongly advised to consult with their advisors and/or department in question about transfer credits prior to taking courses at other institutions.
If you want to take a course at another college please follow these steps:
1. Verify that you have not reached the maximum limit of transferable credits. (Maximum number of credits from another college(s) is 90 credits.)
2. Verify that you are not repeating a course. (Look at your degree audit in MyUAlbany)3. Transfer courses do not meet the residence requirement at Albany.

White Papers and Application Notes
Analysis and Design of Electromagnetic PumpV. Teotia, S. Malhotra, K. Singh, and U. Mahapatra
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Liquid metal loops are used for heat removal and for the study of certain magneto-fluidic phenomenon like MHD (Magneto-Hydro Dynamic) effects. These loops operate at high temperatures and carry fluids that are invariably toxic in nature. Ensuring the purity of fluid in a closed loop application needs non-intrusive pumps electromagnetic pumps. We have designed and analyzed a prototype electromagnetic pump to be used in mercury loop for carrying out various studies. This Electromagnetic pump is designed using permanent magnets which are mounted on periphery of rotor, which is rotated using DC motor. The liquid metal flows in a semi-circular duct surrounding the rotor. The paper brings out the qualitative and quantitative analyses of the pump as function of magnetization of the permanent magnets , the speed of rotation of the pump and magnet pitch. This electromagnetic pump has been developed and is running successfully in our lab at BARC.

T-Mobile CEO John Legere has given an update on the carrier's recent Un-carrier 5.0 and Un-carrier 6.0 announcements. Un-carrier 5.0 was the announcement of T-Mobile Test Drive, which lets people try T-Mobile's network for free. Un-carrier 6.0 was Music Freedom, which lets customers use several music services without that data usage counting against their high-speed data limit.
Legere announced that over 12,000 people have pre-registered for Test Drive. The program lets potential T-Mobile customers try the network using an iPhone 5S for a week for free without any obligation. You can pre-register for Test Drive now, or wait to register on Monday, June 23, when the service actually opens.
T-Mobile is also letting customers vote on which music services to add next to Music Freedom. Some services, like Spotify, Pandora, and iTunes Radio are already included in Music Freedom, while others will be added over time. The top two contenders to be added to the program next are Google Play Music and Xbox Music. Over 75,000 votes have been cast so far on the Music Freedom website.
What do you think of T-Mobiles new Un-carrier programs, and what music service would you like to see added to the Music Freedom lineup? Tell us below in the comments.

1 Surely God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;
I had nearly lost my foothold.
3 For I envied the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 They have no struggles;
their bodies are healthy and strong.[a]
5 They are free from common human burdens;
they are not plagued by human ills.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace;
they clothe themselves with violence.
7 From their callous hearts comes iniquity[b];
their evil imaginations have no limits.
8 They scoff, and speak with malice;
with arrogance they threaten oppression.
9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
and their tongues take possession of the earth.
10 Therefore their people turn to them
and drink up waters in abundance.[c]
11 They say, "How would God know?
Does the Most High know anything?"
12 This is what the wicked are like—
always free of care, they go on amassing wealth.
13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure
and have washed my hands in innocence.
14 All day long I have been afflicted,
and every morning brings new punishments.
15 If I had spoken out like that,
I would have betrayed your children.
16 When I tried to understand all this,
it troubled me deeply
17 till I entered the sanctuary of God;
then I understood their final destiny.
18 Surely you place them on slippery ground;
you cast them down to ruin.
19 How suddenly are they destroyed,
completely swept away by terrors!
20 They are like a dream when one awakes;
when you arise, Lord,
you will despise them as fantasies.
21 When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
22 I was senseless and ignorant;
I was a brute beast before you.
23 Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
27 Those who are far from you will perish;
you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
28 But as for me, it is good to be near God.
I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge;
I will tell of all your deeds.
1 I cried out to God for help;
I cried out to God to hear me.
2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;
at night I stretched out untiring hands,
and I would not be comforted.
3 I remembered you, God, and I groaned;
I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.[b]
4 You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.
5 I thought about the former days,
the years of long ago;
6 I remembered my songs in the night.
My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7 "Will the Lord reject forever?
Will he never show his favor again?
8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever?
Has his promise failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?"
10 Then I thought, "To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12 I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds."
13 Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?
14 You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples.
15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16 The waters saw you, God,
the waters saw you and writhed;
the very depths were convulsed.
17 The clouds poured down water,
the heavens resounded with thunder;
your arrows flashed back and forth.
18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,
your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
19 Your path led through the sea,
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
20 You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
1 My people, hear my teaching;
listen to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth with a parable;
I will utter hidden things, things from of old—
3 things we have heard and known,
things our ancestors have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their descendants;
we will tell the next generation
the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
his power, and the wonders he has done.
5 He decreed statutes for Jacob
and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach their children,
6 so the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,
and they in turn would tell their children.
7 Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget his deeds
but would keep his commands.
8 They would not be like their ancestors—
a stubborn and rebellious generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.
9 The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows,
turned back on the day of battle;
10 they did not keep God's covenant
and refused to live by his law.
11 They forgot what he had done,
the wonders he had shown them.
12 He did miracles in the sight of their ancestors
in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
13 He divided the sea and led them through;
he made the water stand up like a wall.
14 He guided them with the cloud by day
and with light from the fire all night.
15 He split the rocks in the wilderness
and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
16 he brought streams out of a rocky crag
and made water flow down like rivers.
17 But they continued to sin against him,
rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.
18 They willfully put God to the test
by demanding the food they craved.
19 They spoke against God;
they said, "Can God really
spread a table in the wilderness?
20 True, he struck the rock,
and water gushed out,
streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
Can he supply meat for his people?"
21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
his fire broke out against Jacob,
and his wrath rose against Israel,
22 for they did not believe in God
or trust in his deliverance.
23 Yet he gave a command to the skies above
and opened the doors of the heavens;
24 he rained down manna for the people to eat,
he gave them the grain of heaven.
25 Human beings ate the bread of angels;
he sent them all the food they could eat.
26 He let loose the east wind from the heavens
and by his power made the south wind blow.
27 He rained meat down on them like dust,
birds like sand on the seashore.
28 He made them come down inside their camp,
all around their tents.
29 They ate till they were gorged—
he had given them what they craved.
30 But before they turned from what they craved,
even while the food was still in their mouths,
31 God's anger rose against them;
he put to death the sturdiest among them,
cutting down the young men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;
in spite of his wonders, they did not believe.
33 So he ended their days in futility
and their years in terror.
34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek him;
they eagerly turned to him again.
35 They remembered that God was their Rock,
that God Most High was their Redeemer.
36 But then they would flatter him with their mouths,
lying to him with their tongues;
37 their hearts were not loyal to him,
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38 Yet he was merciful;
he forgave their iniquities
and did not destroy them.
Time after time he restrained his anger
and did not stir up his full wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,
a passing breeze that does not return.
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness
and grieved him in the wasteland!
41 Again and again they put God to the test;
they vexed the Holy One of Israel.
42 They did not remember his power—
the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,
43 the day he displayed his signs in Egypt,
his wonders in the region of Zoan.
44 He turned their river into blood;
they could not drink from their streams.
45 He sent swarms of flies that devoured them,
and frogs that devastated them.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper,
their produce to the locust.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail
and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
48 He gave over their cattle to the hail,
their livestock to bolts of lightning.
49 He unleashed against them his hot anger,
his wrath, indignation and hostility—
a band of destroying angels.
50 He prepared a path for his anger;
he did not spare them from death
but gave them over to the plague.
51 He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,
the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.
52 But he brought his people out like a flock;
he led them like sheep through the wilderness.
53 He guided them safely, so they were unafraid;
but the sea engulfed their enemies.
54 And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
to the hill country his right hand had taken.
55 He drove out nations before them
and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;
he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
56 But they put God to the test
and rebelled against the Most High;
they did not keep his statutes.
57 Like their ancestors they were disloyal and faithless,
as unreliable as a faulty bow.
58 They angered him with their high places;
they aroused his jealousy with their idols.
59 When God heard them, he was furious;
he rejected Israel completely.
60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,
the tent he had set up among humans.
61 He sent the ark of his might into captivity,
his splendor into the hands of the enemy.
62 He gave his people over to the sword;
he was furious with his inheritance.
63 Fire consumed their young men,
and their young women had no wedding songs;
64 their priests were put to the sword,
and their widows could not weep.
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,
as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.
66 He beat back his enemies;
he put them to everlasting shame.
67 Then he rejected the tents of Joseph,
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion, which he loved.
69 He built his sanctuary like the heights,
like the earth that he established forever.
70 He chose David his servant
and took him from the sheep pens;
71 from tending the sheep he brought him
to be the shepherd of his people Jacob,
of Israel his inheritance.
72 And David shepherded them with integrity of heart;
with skillful hands he led them.

The proportions are way off. Upper arm and lower arm should normally be same length; thigh and shin should be same length as one another; and the legs should be longer than the arms. That's to start. Buy an anatomy for artists book, or check on out at the library, or even a figure drawing book. They help tons. I'm rather used to anatomy, and I just got one, well actually a book on figure drawing, from the library today to brush up on it, since I got lazy on drawing for a long time. Good luck.

Muscles seemed correct enough otherwise (the 'lumps' look right). In any case, i was inspired to sketch this vaguely ninja-like figure on steps like in your pic.
