NordVPN is a Panama-based service which provides comprehensive VPN products for more than 200,000 customers.
The company sells itself very much on features, and it's easy to see why. This VPN offers a thousand servers in 59 locations, support for six simultaneous connections, plus it's P2P-friendly. You also get Windows, Mac, iOS and Android apps, a kill switch, DNS leak blocking, Onion support for extra security, bonus tools to help access streaming services, and 24/7 support if anything goes wrong.
Prices are higher than some, although that's no surprise with this level of functionality. The one-year plan costs an effective $5.75 (£4.60) a month, there's a six-month option for $7 (£5.60) a month, and the one-month plan is a chunky $11.95 (£9.60).
Keep looking and there are other options available. NordVPN offers a three-day trial, although the company doesn't advertise this on the front page. We only realised it was there when we found a mention buried in the FAQs.
- Want to try NordVPN? Check out the website here
As with just about every VPN, it's worth checking out the firm's social media accounts for special deals. As we write NordVPN is offering a two-year deal for only $3.29 (£2.63) a month, a very low price for this level of service.
We noticed that NordVPN's Facebook page was busy, too, with multiple daily posts on privacy and related stories. We would probably never read them, but active social media pages are a useful indicator of a company that is trying to engage with customers.
Whatever deal you choose, the company's generous 30-day 'no-hassle 100% money-back guarantee' gives you plenty of time to try before you buy, and suggests NordVPN is confident you won't be disappointed. Factor in the free trial and it's looking good to us.
The NordVPN website says the company operates a "strict no log policy", stating: "We don't track when our users go online, to which servers they connect, which websites they visit or what files they download."
While this sounds very clear, there's still the issue of what happens to session data, the records created when you initially connect to the service. NordVPN's privacy policy doesn't mention this at all, but the terms of service page is rather more specific: "NordVPN does not monitor, store or record logs for any VPN user. We do not store connection time stamps, used bandwidth, traffic logs, IP addresses."
We're always a little sceptical of no-logging policies, as there's no way to tell whether the company is really following the practices it claims. But even if you never trust any VPN about anything, NordVPN has a significant privacy plus given its location in Panama, outside of the regular US and European jurisdiction. Even if there were logs of some kind, it's going to be much more difficult for anyone to get them.
We browsed the rest of NordVPN's privacy policy, but couldn't spot any major hidden catches. The company asks for your email address when you sign up, uses Google Analytics on its website and uses cookies to identify customers referred from affiliates. None of that is ideal, but these are also relatively minor issues that are similar to many other providers.
On the plus side, the company clearly states its policy on customer service and support queries, including live chat. Logs are kept for six months as a reference, but can be deleted earlier if you ask.
We checked out the terms of service, and were surprised by just how fair and reasonable they seemed. Unlike some of the competition, NordVPN's small print doesn't bury sneaky restrictions in 5,000 words of densely-packed legalese. Instead, it's simple, clear and straightforward.
The contract had more items than usual in the list of things you can't do via the service – the company warns that anyone carrying out kidnapping, rape or murder, as well as the usual hacking/spamming/phishing, will have their account cancelled, which is good to know – but otherwise the only surprise was something in the customer's favour: "NordVPN does guarantee a 99.9% server uptime."
We don't know whether the firm achieves that, or what happens if it doesn't, but we like the ambition – most VPNs don't make any kind of uptime promise at all.
Getting started with a NordVPN trial seemed like it was going to be easy. We entered our email address, chose a password and a welcome email arrived seconds later. We clicked the activation link, and… it redirected to the nordvpn.com home page without displaying any activation message. Pasting the link directly into a couple of browsers had the same result.
While that wasn't a good sign, it gave us a chance to test the support system. We tapped the Support button and typed an explanation in the live chat window. An agent joined us and said hello within around 15 seconds, and reported back around a minute later. For some reason our account was already activated, but he had reset our password to ensure we could now log in (and yes, we could).
We would have preferred the activation system to work as it should have done in the first place, but every service has occasional issues, and what's important here is our problem was fixed almost immediately.
We headed off to the Download link on the NordVPN website. This highlighted the client for our current Windows 10 system at the top of the page, but also provided links to the Android, iOS and Mac clients, as well as tutorials for setting the VPN connection up on other devices.
It's always encouraging to see a company with the resources to produce its own apps. NordVPN's offerings also seem to be regularly updated – the last release was within weeks of our tests – and both the iOS and Android apps had four star ratings from other users.
We opted for the Windows client, which proved surprisingly simple to install. The only option presented was an installation folder, and even that can safely be left at the default, so within a couple of clicks we were done.
The client has been updated since we last looked at NordVPN, and now opens by displaying all the available servers on a map. This is nicely implemented and works just as you'd expect: left click and drag to pan around the map, spin the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, click a location to connect.
The client also provides a simple text list of countries. A 'server load' figure helps to identify the best connection, or you can tap the recommended choice to access the nearest server. Whatever you choose, a favourites system makes it easier to locate next time.
Other connection types are organised in a similar way. A P2P button appears at the top of the screen, and you can tap to connect to the nearest P2P-friendly server immediately, or choose a specific country from the list. 'Onion over VPN' is the same: you can connect to the nearest server with a click, or choose something specific from the list.
The Settings dialog is impressive, too. It's not just 'start with Windows' or 'launch minimised': there's a customisable kill switch, you can set your own custom DNS, select TCP or UDP protocol, or hide the server map or list. There's even an option to use miles or kilometres when specifying server distances.
There are thoughtful touches everywhere. The Connect button normally appears on the main screen, for instance, and if you head off to Settings you'll have to close that dialog before you can get online. Not here: Connect appears at the top of the window and is accessible everywhere, so you're never more than one click away from getting online.
Performance is almost as impressive. In our tests*, short UK to UK connections reached 30Mbps, we managed 20 to 25Mbps to Italy and Sweden, and 25Mbps plus to the US. We had to make very long distance connections to find any issues – India gave us barely 1Mbps download speeds – but there were exceptions, even in this case. UK to Australia connections managed a very usable 10Mbps, and Hong Kong was even better at 15Mbps. Latency increased significantly as we moved away, but browsing still generally felt snappy and responsive.
Even more importantly, NordVPN delivered on its privacy promises at every stage: servers were in the expected locations, our IP address was updated and DNS and WebRTC leaks were automatically blocked.
Final verdict
A quality VPN which is fast and user-friendly, with a host of powerful features and some great clients. If you're a regular VPN user, consider the two-year plan for the best value.
- Here are the best free VPN services and links to download them
*Our testing included evaluating general performance (browsing, streaming video). We also used speedtest.net to measure latency, upload and download speeds, and then tested immediately again with the VPN turned off, to check for any difference (over several rounds of testing). We then compared these results to other VPN services we've reviewed. Of course, do note that VPN performance is difficult to measure as there are so many variables.

[Last Anilogue movie for me this year.]
The Secret of Kells is Tomm Moore's oscar-nominated animated movie, starring the voices of Evan McGuire, Christen Mooney, Mick Lally and Brendan Gleeson.
Brendan (Evan McGuire) lives in a small village in medieval Ireland, where he helps his uncle Abbott Cellach (Brendan Gleeson) build fortifications to keep the Vikings at bay. But when the famous illustrator Aiden (Mick Lally) turns up with his cat and a very important book, Brendan discovers not only the wonders of the woods outside the village walls, but also his talents as an illustrator himself.
The Secret of Kells is magical. The main attraction are certainly the visuals and they are absolutely wonderful. So perfect, in fact that I didn't even mind the religiousness of it all (which is generally rather unobtrusive but you can't deny it's there).

It is that time of the year again. The second annual wingtacular! Saturday May 16th 23rd . Last year we had 15 competitors making their own hot wing sauces. Below is the picture of last years top three.
Wingtacular Rules:
- Make a sauce from scratch, you can use pre-made hot sauces to help, but no bottled hot wing sauces.
- All wings will be fried by the wingtacular fryer. Once the wings are cooked the wings are distributed to the competitors for saucing. The competitors then sauce and put the wings into the serving vessel given to them. Then they deliver the wings to the judging table.
- Three wings will be taken out for the panel of judges.
- Once the judges have the wings we will continue to cook hot wings and sauce wings for each competitor's sauce. These wings will be labeled and placed on the public table for the popular vote. Total points from the judges and the popular votes will be counted. Top three in the points standing will be the 2009 Wingtacular Champion and the holder of the coveted Wingtacular Cup.
This year we have moved venues and will have the capability to cook 80-100 hot wings at a time. We will have double blind judging.
Last year was a blast. We went through 60lbs of hot wings. This year is going to be bigger and better. All of the competitors from last year have been invited back. We will have 3 spots 5 spots open for new competitors, and are looking for one more judge a couple of judges with a stomach of steel. If you are going to be in the Washington, DC area on Saturday, May 16th 23rd and are interested in competiting, send me an email [email protected].

1. We are bound for Canaan land, tenting by the way Who shall lead us on the road? Choose your King today. 2. Many trials we have seen thus far on our way He hath led us safely through. Shall He lead today? 3. When the dark Red Sea of doubt billowed in our way Then He parted every wave—so He will today. 4. Can we safely trust a guide who knows not the way? God hath traveled every foot–He shall lead today. 5. Just before us Jordan rolls, just across the way We can safely trust the Lord; He shall lead today. Refrain: Dare to stand like Joshua; Dare to say the word. "As for me and for my house, we will serve the Lord."

FPGAs provide an efficient, reconfigurable platform for implementing many different types of multiport peripheral device protocol aggregation and switching solutions. Altera® devices support many different electrical interfaces of various full-duplex device protocols, with flexible parallel I/Os and dynamically reconfigurable serial transceivers. These devices also embed single- and dual-port memory structures that can be configured for various packet and cell buffering architectures. These features provide the foundation for dynamically reconfigurable, full-duplex protocol conversion solutions. In addition, Altera and our partners offer a broad range of interface protocol intellectual property (IP) solutions that can satisfy the needs of a broad spectrum of applications and leverage the integrated transceivers in our FPGA devices. You can overcome interoperability issues that come from devices with different interfaces using Altera's protocol bridging solutions, as seen in Figure 1. With the combination of device capability and IP offering, you can have the full flexibility of any device configuration as you are architecting your system, resulting in more efficient silicon reuse, faster time to market, and reduced component cost.
Optimized for high bandwidth, Stratix Series FPGAs are well-suited for protocol bridging applications. The devices come with up to 144 full-duplex serial transceiver channels at speeds up to 30 Gbps, and transceivers at speeds up to 28.05 Gbps. An enhanced adaptive logic module packs in substantially more logic and eases timing closure on register-rich and heavily pipelined designs. Embedded HardCopy® Blocks enable hardened logic-intensive functions like PCI Express® Gen3/Gen2/Gen1 and Interlaken physical coding sublayer (PCS) in a more power- and space-efficient area of the silicon. From this, you get more functionality in a smaller device, with lower power and cost.

This is one of the shaker cards that will be on the Shaker Card Party Buffet. The stamps, paper, and embellishments are all CTMH. The shaker and die are from Queen and Company. The paper is Hello Lovely which will be with us for the next 2 weeks before it's retired. The Sugar Rush gems retire and are already gone! So be sure to check them out.
The stamp set is from the Cricut Flower Market Cricut Cartridge Bundle. It's one of my favorite stamp sets to use because all of the sentiments are a mixed font and look marvelous.
The shaker is full of sequins and diamonds from Queen and Company. The butterfly is made from Sorbet cardstock and I put the cut outs from the butterfly wings inside the butterfly shaker to provide a consistant solid background for the shaker contents.

Piers Morgan branded a 's*** stain' and 'giant pile of w***' in furious Twitter row with Jameela Jamil over Sam Smith
The inflammatory Good Morning Britain presenter was deeply offended over the insults aimed at him by actress and campaigner Jameela Jamil who took issue with his attacks on gender fluidity
PIERS Morgan has been branded a "s*** stain" and a "giant pile of w***" by actress Jameela Jamil on Twitter.
The inflammatory Good Morning Britain presenter was deeply offended over the insults aimed at him by the campaigner, who took issue with his attacks on gender fluidity.
He had attacked Sam Smith for coming out as non-binary in an interview and mocked him for it on the ITV morning show.
Piers said: "Sam Smith has announced he's genderfluid… he can't work out if he's male or female, whatever. He's now identifying as [non-binary].
"I'm now identifying as Sam Smith, so I can get his royalties. This works both ways. I just don't get this… Sam Smith has millions of fans, what are they supposed to think? I can't work out what I am?"
Actress Jameela tweeted a link to the story about Piers mocking her friend, writing: "LOL. Of course England's biggest s*** stain has something mean to say about it.
"He thinks men who carry babies in a comfortable papoose where they can feel your body heat and pulse, aren't 'manly'. This clown spews constant toxic ideas of 'masculinity'."
Piers, triggered by the tweet that didn't tag him or feature his name, quoted it and said: "Appalling that you just assume I am identifying as male tonight."
But Jameela shot him down with her own reply, saying: "You're right, it is extraordinary I identify you as any kind of human being at all you giant pile of w***."
Piers tried to gain the upper hand by replying: "I'd rather be w*** than woke, luv."
But again Jameela replied with her own withering comment, telling him: "Mission accomplished hun."
A triggered Piers hit back, claiming Jameela had "mis-gendered him" and claimed it was against the law.
He tweeted: "Don't call me 'hun'. I identify as male, but 'hun' normally applies to a female ('honey') which means you are mockingly mis-gendering me & that's now apparently a criminal offence in Britain. Unless you meant 'hun' as a derogatory term for Germans in which case you're a racist."
He then complained about her "disgusting foul-mouthed" abuse to a magazine for covering his comments.

Just got this one. I think Mark Sylvestri (I don't know if that is spelt right) is so much better when he inks his own stuff. Alot of inkers seem to muddle his drawings too much. Alot of the posters that I have I got for free… some way or another. This one Corry gave me. Others I will tell you about later.
UPDATE: As the comment says – this poster is done by Michael Turner. Ans it is the variant cover to Hulk #100 – which I did know – but than you to Corry for so politely explaining that in his comment.

Mallets and hammers are both tools that you use to force something into a place you want it to go. For that object to move, the stopping force when the hammer or mallet hits it and stops must be harder than the object itself. The amount of force made upon impact is determined by three things:
The farther away the tool is from what you are trying to move, the harder the strike will be. If you need to move something quite a bit, you'll swing your arm up. If you only need to tap something, you'll just bend your wrist up and let it fall from there.
As we just said, the farther the distance, the harder and faster a tool falls. This means a hammer with a short handle would be best for hanging pictures, while a long-handled hammer would be used in house construction.
Gravity helps to pull the tool down and gather speed. The beauty of a hammer is that you don't have to have a ton of muscular strength to use one. You raise it up and let it fall by the pull of gravity. The weight of the hammer does the rest.
A hammer and a mallet do the same thing in the same way, so what is the difference between the two?
Hammers are designed to drive objects with a hard, blunt force. There are only two components to a mallet: the head, and the handle. The hammer, however, has many different parts.
The face is the flat surface on one side of the head that makes contact with your object.
The neck is the narrow part that connects the head to the eye and is often octagon-shaped.
The eye is where the wedge is placed to secure the head to the handle. It is often a deep and tapered hole where the tip of the handle is inserted. The tip of the wood has a split in the middle. A wedge of wood is then forced into the split, securing it by forcing it open. When a hammer hits, the head wants to push up, but since the wedge has forced it open, it's now too wide for the head to move.
The claw is on the other end of the head. It has a V-shape that can slip over and around any size of nailhead. Once the nail is secure in the smallest part of the V, the hammer is rocked backward, towards the head. The pressure from the pull can remove even the firmest of nails.
The handle of the hammer is the part the user holds that allows its head to be used effectively. Longer handles provide more potential to achieve greater force, because the farther the hammer drops, the harder the strike. However, longer handles limit the spaces they can be used in while still allowing users to hit their desired targets accurately.
The head on a mallet is soft so it won't damage soft material. The hammer, however, is almost always made of pure steel for hard, forceful strikes. The majority of the head's mass is concentrated on the face side that is used to strike.
Mallets are designed to create or change the shape or appearance of an object. They are often used directly on finished surfaces where you don't want to leave any marks. For that reason, mallets have heads that are made mostly of either rubber or wood, though they can be copper or plastic also. The point is that the material a mallet is made of has a softer impact on objects.
The weight of the head and how its mass is distributed is another factor in how hard the tool strikes. A mallet's head is spread evenly so that both sides are equal. They can be the same because mallets have two hitting surfaces. There is no claw since they aren't used to pull or pry on anything.
Mallets are used to apply mild to moderate force. Therefore, the head and handle can be attached by wedges like hammers are, but they can also be held by hardware or glue. The swing and impact are lighter, so the head doesn't necessarily need the extra security of the wedge.
Mallets and hammers are both used to move objects. They force items into small places so that they have a tight and secure fit. They are used for entirely different things, though. Mallets are made of soft materials that can be used on any surface without leaving any marks. Hammers are pure steel, allowing one to strike with all of one's might. It's a great way to get your aggressions out.

Brand: - Lorna Drew - See more »
Would you like the ability to alter your cup size as your body changes? If so, how about the gorgeous Lorna Drew Cotton Rose Peaches and Cream nursing bra? You can easily alter the cup size as your body changes to help you get the perfect fit!
So how do you alter the cup size? Each strap has an innovative clip. Simply open the clip and slide the strap up or down. You can increase or decrease the cups by one size by moving the straps a little. For example, if you bought a 38D bra, you can take this up to a 38DD, or you can decrease it to a 38C. This will help you get a really comfortable fit as your body changes and as your milk comes in and out.
We think you will also love how cool and comfortable this bra is too. For example it has a cool cotton lining. Also, to help the bra fit and feel really nice, it has a body shaping stretch to it too. You may also love the fact that it has an extended hook and eye at the back. This will allow for any increase or decrease around your body.
It looks really nice too. For example, if has matching satin bows trims.
How about the construction of this nursing bra? Well, it is wirefree (breastfeeding advisors tend to prefer wirefree nursing bras). It has a balconette shape to it. It also has no padding in the cups.
What type of lady might like this bra? Well, if you want a cool, really comfortable nursing bra this might be for you! Also, if you like the idea of changing the cup sizes as your body changes, then this is a good choice. This feature has been really popular with many of our customers. Finally, the bra is still really pretty!
We want to make sure you know exactly what the bra is like so you are not surprised when it arrives, so here are some quick questions and answers from us studying the bra… out of the packet….in depth.
Is this bra underwired? No
Does this bra have a "modesty panel" (i.e when the cups are open does it have material to help make it more discreet behind the cups? This is also called an "A-Frame nursing bra". No…but it does have a small stretch of material that sits above the breast…but this is too thin to call it a modesty panel
Is this bra padded? No
Does it have a pre-formed cups? No
How stretchy is the fabric on the cups? Quite stretchy
Does the bra have removable foam inserts in the cups? No
How smooth is the material on the OUTSIDE of the bra? It is not "silky" and has more of a "cotton" feel to it.
Would it be suitable as a T-shirt nursing bra? No
Would it be suitable as a Sleep nursing bra? No
Does this bra have an option to buy matching briefs? No
How to verify the Nursing Bra Shop....
"I have never heard of the Nursing Bra Shop....how can I find out what the service is like?" Simple - ask any online mums forums you are on if anyone has used us. We always STRONGLY URGE you to check on us in any Facebook breastfeeding groups or other maternity or mums groups such as Mumsnet etc. Maybe ask if anyone has ever used the Nursing Bra Shop? What was our service like?
Here are some places to ask questions about the Nursing Bra Shop:
- Facebook breastfeeding groups
- Mumsnet
- Online Bounty Groups
- Netmums
But please ask the question in any forums. 89% Of UK mothers have never heard of the Nursing Bra Shop. Asking forums is a good way of checking on us. Don't take our word for it....ask other mothers who may have used us!
We tend to find that this bra comes up a little small in the cup size. For example, if you are thinking of choosing a 34H, we suggest you choose instead a 34HH. Or, if you are picking a 36C, we would suggest that you buy a 36D.
We try to rate how thick the cups are of each bra, so you are not surprised by this when the bra turns up! We rate this out of 5, so 1/5 is thin cups, 5 out of 5 is thick. We would rate the thickness of the cups of the cups of this bra as 3 out of 5. Medium thickness.

By the time you read this, two of my final four teams will probably have lost already, but, as I usually fare pretty well in tourney brackets, I thought I would offer to you that most valuable of peeks into my brain and share my philosophy in picking brackets. This is big deal, now; akin to Colonel Sanders, with his wee beady eyes, telling you the eleven herbs and spices he puts in his chicken (makes you crave it fortnightly). But, in the interests of the improvement of human knowledge, and general progress and whatnot, I offer you Uncle Andy's secret recipe.
Big-time players win big-time games
Exhibit one for this principle is the final four two years ago. Marquette, led by Dwyane Wade (how good has he turned out to be?) knocks off a good but relatively-starless Kentucky team to get in. Kansas, led by Hinrich and Collison also get there to join Carmelo Anthony's Syracuse team and T.J. Ford's Texas squad. If not for a sentimental attachment to Kentucky, I might have picked all four teams; as it was I went 3-for-4. This is my overarching principle, and the one which trumps in close calls. (Last year it also worked pretty well, as Okafor and Gordon led my UConn pick to the title).
So, who are this year's big-time players? This isn't always easy to pick, as a talented player isn't necessarily big-time. Two years ago, Kansas beat an equally-talented Duke team to get in, but Hinrich and Collison's were battle-tested seniors with a gleam in the eye that led me to pick them over the Dookies. "Clutchness" is clearly a tough thing to quantify, but experience counts for me as well as pulling out close games and a history of beating a good teams. In the end, its a bit of a gut reaction; you know a clutch player when you see it. This year, I'm relying on Chris Paul, Dee Brown and Hakim Warrick to lead their clubs into the final four. My fourth pick, North Carolina, will get there because of their overwhelming talent, but will fail to win it all (which there talent says they should) because of a lack of a big-time player. Felton and McCants should be able to take over any game down the stretch, but they seem to find a way to loose them instead. McCants is the most talented player in the nation, but in his biggest game so far, when Carolina played at Dook, he was non-existent. Felton was a turnover machine in the same game. Thus, though they should win the title, I think they'll find a way to fumble it away in the end.
It should be noted that a big-time player is not enough by itself. Salim Stoudamire and Fransisco Garcia are two of my favorite players in the tournament this year, but I just don't think they have enough help to get them very far (that, and Louisville got a terrible draw). But, when it's a close call, go with the studs.
Hot or not
I also put a great deal of stock into this factor. Some teams peak at the right time, while others come into the tournament out of rhythm. Nolan Richardson always seemed to have his team peaking in March, so you could count on a deep run from the Hogs, while Tubby Smith has had trouble the last couple of years with his team peaking too early. Streaking teams this year include Georgia Tech (how scary are they right now?), Florida, and the other Huskies from Wash U. Teams that would have been better served by the tournament starting in early February include the Jayhawks, Boston College, and the afforementioned Wildcats.
Where're you from again?Conferences have good and bad seasons, just like players, and that's important to keep in mind, as 20-10 in the Big 10 may not be the same as in the Big12. This year, that comes into play particularly with the ACC and SEC, which are having they're best and worst years, respectively, in a long time. The ACC probably deserved 3 number 1 seeds, and could have had four in the final four if Georgia Tech wasn't in Wake's bracket. They are head and shoulders above any other conference this year, so you have to give a premium even to their middle-tier schools, like NC State, when you put your bracket together. On the other hand, the SEC is way down this year, and you may have to discount their teams seedings a bit. Be cautious in hitching your wagon to an SEC-school this year. Other trends that seem evident this year are strength from mid-majors like the WCC and MAC, and slight down years for the Big 12, Pac 10 and Big 10 (past Illinois).Don't get ahead of yourself
Work with matchups. There's a temptation to come into the tournament with certain pet teams and want to have them go a certain distance, and thus ignore who they're playing. I've fallen into this trap with Kentucky the last couple of years, feeling they were a final four team without really evaluating how they match up with who they're playing. This year, I felt like Louisville and Florida were Elite Eight teams going in, but they drew brutal second round matchups, so I had to back off on those picks. Likewise, Vermont was my Cinderella sweet 16 pick coming in, but I don't see how they have any shot against Syracuse.
Home cooking
If you're looking for a deep tourney run from a top seed, it helps if they can stay close to home the whole time and get some crowd support. Syracuse used favorable settings two years ago to propel them into the final four on their path to the title. This year, Illinois seems to have a red carpet leading them to a title, as they would go from Indianapolis to Chicago to St. Louis if they keep winning. It also works the other way; the Dookies have a potential matchup with Oklahoma looming in Austin. Much to the chagrin of Teasips (that's what we call UT folk down here), Sooner fans could invade Austin to give OU a strong home-court advantage over a higher-seeded team.
This message will self destruct in five secondsThat being said, what does anyone really know? My bracket will probably be obliterated by the end of the first weekend, and, you know what? That's fine with me. That's why we watch this crazy thing, to see a cinderella pull off the impossible. It's gonna be sweet! Enjoy!Quick takes
NBA — check out the run the Rockets are on: Last Sunday they hold the Mavericks to about 80 points, then they went on a road trip where they pulled out a tough one against the Sonics, came from behind to beat the Suns by 20, easily beat the Kings, and survived against the Warriors. To celebrate, they came home and beat the Blazers by a brutal 31-point margin. They're playing as well as anyone right now, and I don't think anyone wants to see them in the first round of the playoffs. MLB — The Cardinals could win the NL Central by about 10 games. The Cubs gave up a lot of offense and are having injury trouble with their stud pitchers, and it looks like I'm the favorite for the fifth starter spot in Houston, another team which is depleted offensively. The Cards lost a little, but replaced it with Mark Mulder and a whole season of Larry Walker. Yikes! NFL — Keep your eye on the Bears in the NFC North this year. The Vikings lost Randy Moss (and their coach is busy scalping tickets), and the Packers lost two offensive linemen and a safety out of an already terrible secondary. The Lions are still trying to figure out who should throw the ball to their ridiculously studly receivers. If Rex Grossman can stay healthy and Muhsin Muhammed repeats his big year, Lovie Smith could turn that thing around. College Hoops — Bush league, Stan Heath. Just because you couldn't pull your team together this year is no reason to quit the season early. What message are you sending your players? When the going gets tough, take your ball and go home? Besides, epecially with a young team like the Hogs, you could catch fire in the NIT and lay a foundation for something special next year. Woman's Volleyball — Logan Tom, you can't deny your feelings for me any longer. You're not fooling anyone with this charade.
Happy St. Patty's day!

Restaurant Review of Timsan's in Green Bay, WI
By Patricia Summerfield
January 15, 2010
My husband and I went to dine at Timsan's Japanese Steakhouse for some Hibachi style cuisine; it is located on the East side of Green Bay. The Hibachi is a Japanese grill with a method of cooking your food in a quick and entertaining fashion in front of you. The chef's are all professionally trained since it is quite an artful presentation for everyone's enjoyment. As you walk in there is a large curved bar and the register/ hostess area is located by the front door. The dining area opens next to the bar and is surrounded by large picture windows with views of a busy main street and a side street. The large stainless steel grills were immaculate and held seating for groups of eight or more people. The grills are situated on raised wooden flooring with black padded chairs. The walls in the dining area are adorned with Japanese decor and each place setting is set with blue colored cloth napkins with wooden chopsticks that are artfully folded inside. There was soothing oriental music playing in the background but unfortunately the bartender working this evening was watching the Paula Deen cooking show with the volume turned up so high that I could write down the recipe if I chose to. The waitress was polite and friendly and inquired if we would like a beverage we decided to try sake since neither of us has ever tasted it before. The server explained to us that there is cold sake or warm sake and that the traditional is warm. We ordered the half carafe of the warm sake for $4.75, it was brought out in a small oriental designed carafe with two tiny cups and she suggested keeping the wine warm by leaving it on the edge of the warm grill. The wine was clear in color with a taste of warm strong alcohol, nice to just slowly sip on to warm you up.
We then ordered a combination dinner for two for $36.95 which included shrimp, chicken, and steak. Several items are included with the meal: a cup of beef broth, a small side salad, an appetizer of zucchini and onions with rice, mushroom and bean sprouts alongside the main course, and hot tea and vanilla ice cream at the end of the meal. Timsan's was beginning to fill with more patrons so thankfully the bartender turned down the volume on the TV. Our soup was brought out first in oriental designed small plastic bowls. The beef broth was light with a salty flavor with tiny pieces of green onion and fresh mushrooms floating on top. For our next course out came our salads; we had a choice of ginger dressing or ranch I chose ranch, it consisted of iceberg lettuce with some shredded carrots and red cabbage, it was uninspiring. Then our chef Nick came out with a cart loaded with fresh food and cooking supplies. He was very nice and personal and kept up a nice conversation throughout the meal. He started slicing and flipping with quick precision, the food giving off aromatic smells. He then tossed the shrimp tails into the top of his tall chef's hat and one last one in his front pocket, then came the flashy part building a volcano out of raw onion slices he squirted some cooking oil inside the stacked onions and lit it on fire, after the fire went out it started steaming strong just like a volcano what fun! All the grilled vegetables, meats, and shrimp were grilled deliciously with oil, butter some sesame seeds, and soy sauce; everything tasted scrumptious, tender with a lot of flavor. We were given two different sauces for dipping, a mustard sauce for a little heat and a ginger sauce; they were a nice accompaniment for the meal. Then Nick drummed out a tune with his large wooden salt and pepper shakers which made our dining experience very festive. All the portions for the meal were more than adequate and at the end of the meal we were offered the choice of vanilla ice cream or orange sherbet, the server then brought out our sherbet but we were never offered or brought our hot tea. Other than missing out on our hot tea we had a truly delightful and delectable fun dinner at Timsan's.

Federal authorities pressed on Tuesday with their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's jailhouse suicide amid mounting evidence the chronically understaffed lockup may have bungled its responsibility to keep him from harming himself.
At the same time, prosecutors pursued a parallel investigation into whether any associates of the wealthy financier will face charges for assisting him in what authorities say was his rampant sexual abuse of teenage girls.
READ MORE: Jeffrey Epstein's suicide is part of a larger problem in American jails: experts
One of the new details provided by people familiar with the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center was that one of Epstein's guards the night he took his own life was not a regular correctional officer.
Serene Gregg, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 3148, told The Washington Post that one of the guards was a fill-in who had been pressed into service because of staffing shortages.

In addition, Epstein was supposed to have been checked on by a guard every 30 minutes. But investigators have learned those checks weren't done for several hours before he was found, according to a person familiar with the case. That person was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

A second person familiar with operations at the jail said Epstein was discovered in his cell Saturday morning. That person likewise spoke on condition of anonymity for the same reason.
Attorney General William Barr said Monday that he was "frankly angry to learn of the MCC's failure to adequately secure this prisoner."
He added: "We will get to the bottom of what happened and there will be accountability."

At the same time, Barr warned that any co-conspirator in the sex-crimes case against Epstein "should not rest easy. … The victims deserve justice, and they will get it."
The 66-year-old Epstein was being held without bail, awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges that could have brought 45 years in prison.
WATCH: Jeffrey Epstein's accusers wait for answers
Epstein had been placed on suicide watch after he was found in his cell a little over two weeks ago with bruises on his neck. But for reasons that have not been explained, he had been taken off that watch at the end of July and returned to the jail's special housing unit.
The manner in which Epstein killed himself has not been officially announced. An autopsy was performed Sunday, but the city's chief medical examiner said investigators were awaiting further information.
READ MORE: A timeline of events in the Jeffrey Epstein case
The Associated Press does not typically report on details of suicides but has made an exception because the circumstances of Epstein's death are pertinent to the investigation.
In the sex-crimes case, authorities are most likely turning their attention to the team of recruiters and employees who, according to police reports, FBI records and court documents, knew about Epstein's penchant for teenage girls and lined up victims for him.

If any Epstein assistants hoped to avoid charges by testifying against him, that expectation has been upended by his suicide.
"Those who had leverage as potential cooperators in the case now find themselves as the primary targets," said Jacob S. Frenkel, a former federal prosecutor.

|Globin-coupled sensors (GCSs) are heme-binding proteins that consist of an N-terminal sensor globin domain and a C-terminal transducer domain. Their functions are varied depending on the C-terminal domain and can be classified into two groups such as aerotactic and gene regulation groups. The gene regulating group is further divided into DNA-binding, 2nd messenger and protein-protein interaction group. So far, aerotactic transducers: HemAT-Hs from Halobacterium salinarum and HemAT-Bs from Bacillus subtilis are well characterized in a molecular level and a cellular level. In addition, GCSs from the 2nd messenger group within the gene regulating group such as BpeGreg (Bordetella pertussis), EcGreg (E. coli), CvGreg (Chromobacterium violaceum) and AvGreg (Azotobacter vinelandii) are recently characterized as well.
Recently, genome sequencing of Saporospira grandis has been completed and revealed in-depth genomic information that related to interesting traits of this organism such as gliding motility, production of rhapidosome and ixotrophic nutrient obtaining mechanisms. Moreover, the initial machine annotation showed that there are ten putative GCSs which contain C-terminal STAS domains. Based on the machine annotation results, we have ten genes that were predicted to be GCSs and have a C-terminal STAS (Sulfur transporter and anti-sigma antagonist) domain (Table 1.1). The putative function of these proteins is an anti-sigma factor antagonist like SpoIIAA, RsbR and RsbS in B. subtilis which involves in nutritional, physical and environmental stress responses. The protein named RsbR1 (SGRA_3210) within S. grandis was first discovered and its neighbor genes rsbS,-T,-V,-X and rsbU shared similarities with rsbR and its adjacent genes (rsbS,-T,-U,-V,-W, sigB, rsbX) in B. subtilis. Also, the structure of RsbR consists of the N-terminal non-heme globin domain and the C-terminal STAS domain. All these genes and their encoded proteins are related to activate more than 150 stress response genes upon physical stresses through releasing a sigma factor B. Based on these similarities, we postulate RsbR1 and nine other proteins are globin-coupled sensors that are involved in the stress response.
In this study, in silico and in vitro characterization of ten GCSs were carried out on both the N-terminal globin and the C-terminal STAS domains. Multiple alignments of the globin domains showed that only SGRA_0571 (RsbR2), SGRA_3210 (RsbR1) and SGRA_3852 (RsbR3) aligned their histidine residue with the proximal histidine residue in known globin domains. Two phosphorylation sites from RsbR and its paralogs in B. subtilis were aligned with nine GCSs except SGRA_3852 and YtvA which is known not to have any phosphorylation site, instead it has a GTP binding motif. Two amino acid residues (D and G) from the GTP binding motif (DXXG) are all aligned in all GCSs. The 3D structure alignments of the globin domain of Geobactor sulfurreducens and RsbR1, RsbR2 and RsbR3 showed around 23% identity but the proximal histidine, where it held the heme, were all aligned with the histidine residue of three GCSs. For in vitro characterization, all ten genes were cloned, expressed and purified. The purified proteins were dialyzed and carried UV spectroscopic analysis. Only three GCSs (RsbR1, RsbR2 and RsbR3) exhibited oxygenated myoglobin like peaks. This shows that these proteins are able to bind oxygen. RsbR1 was undergone for crystallization. Initial crystallization screening showed some red crystals.
Initially we found ten GCS genes from the annotation of the genome. In silico results predicted them all as GCSs. Multiple alignments of the globin domains and STAS domains of ten GCSs showed only RsbR1, RsbR2 and RsbR3 had the conserved proximal histidine residues which were vital for heme-binding. The STAS domains of ten GCSs were shared high homology with the STAS domains of RsbR and its paralogs from B. subtilis including two conserved phosphorylation sites and possible GTP-binding motifs. However, RsbR3 did not show the conserved phophrylation sites. All ten GCS genes were cloned, expressed and purified. RsbR1, RsbR2 and RsbR3 displayed oxygenated myoglobin-like absorption spectra and they were the only proteins that were validated as GCSs.

Live-in partner rapes widow, pours acid in her mouth
A spurned live-in partner of a 32-year-old widow raped her and poured acid into her mouth at her house in Guru Nanak Basti of Rania town near here on Wednesday.chandigarh Updated: Feb 01, 2014 16:18 IST
A spurned live-in partner of a 32-year-old widow raped her and poured acid into her mouth at her house in Guru Nanak Basti of Rania town near here on Wednesday.
The victim has been admitted to Sirsa civil hospital and is stated to be critical. The police have booked the accused, who is reported to be on the run. The accused, Ramesh, a resident of Dhani Satnam Singh, was in a live-in relationship with the widow till last month when they had a dispute.
On Wednesday evening, Ramesh allegedly came to her house and raped her and threatened to kill her and 8-year-old son. He then took out a jar of acid he was carrying and forcibly poured into her mouth. In the scuffle, the acid spilled on to her body and she sustained 10-15% burns.
Some locals rushed the victim to the community health centre at Rania, from where doctors referred her to the Sirsa civil hospital. On Thursday evening, a police team visited the scene of crime and collected evidence of the brutal attack.
Rania SHO Jitender Singh said they have lodged an FIR against Ramesh on the complaint of the victim under sections 376, 326 (A), 450, 506 of the IPC. "The accused is on the run and police are raiding his possible hideouts to arrest him," he added.
In her complaint to the police, the victim said that her husband had died eight years ago and she was living with her son at a rented accommodation in Ward 9 of Rania town. She said that she was in a live-in relationship with Ramesh for the past one year.
The victim claimed that she had a dispute with Ramesh last month and was ignoring him ever since, who was pressing her to bury the hatchet and start living together again. He was upset as the victim didn't want to have a relationship with him anymore.

Shaniera Akram recently sounded alarm over "kilometres of medical waste" on Clifton beach.
The one day in the last five months that 17-year-old Abdul Rafiq decided to sleep in and not report for work, was the day he missed all the excitement when Shaniera Akram, wife of cricket legend Wasim Akram, sounded the alarm over Twitter and Instagram of "kilometres of medical waste including hundreds of open needle syringes" strewn on Clifton beach, on Tuesday September 4, urging authorities to close the beach to public.
The following day turned out to be the same mundane work. Sitting on the red tractor, Rafiq continued with scraping the sand, manoeuvring it deftly, then masterfully hauling the bloated plastic bags and dumping them on a heap. He stopped his work, for a few minutes to speak to Dawn.com.
"I don't know really what happened, but I see far more workers today than ever," he said, after spitting the gutka from his mouth.
Also read: Seas of sewage
But his supervisor, Zahoor Ahmed, a contractor working for the Cantonment Board Clifton, and who has been supervising the cleaning up of the area for the last 14 years — from the Village Restaurant to Hyperstar — was present that ominous day. He, along with 150 brigade of labourers, reported on duty to clean the beach of all the bio-hazardous vile, sickening stuff that the sea had spewed.
In his many years of service, he said, he had seen the sea bring in many strange things, to the beach, including nearly "35-40 huge sacks" filled with pages from the Holy Quran last year, but never this kind of waste.
"I have a feeling the waste was in the drains and somehow got pushed into the sea by the rainwater", was Ahmed's considered opinion.
"Or someone may have deliberately thrown a sack full of this hazardous material into the sea but forgot to attach weights and therefore it never drowned but surfaced and the waves returned it to the shore," he suggested.
Some have even suggested it may be a deliberate effort to discredit the ruling government.
"Who knows?" said Dr Salma Kauser Ali, director health and medical at Karachi Municipal Corporation. She, too, had visited the beach that evening. To her mind, it could well have been thrown by any of the scores of private clinics and hospitals, maternity hospitals (even in informal housing), laboratories, dental colleges etc, around Clifton, who are completely oblivious to the spread of infections this irresponsible act causes.
Sindh Environmental Protection Agency's (Sepa) director general, Naeem Mughal, also visited the site and said the same: "There are several hospitals in the vicinity and anyone one could have dumped this waste in the sea; we were not able to identify the source."
But finding the culprit may not be an impossible task if you ask Islamabad-based public health specialist, Dr Nuzhat Khan.
"The syringes and IVs usually have codes inscribed on them and these can be traced back to the suppliers who would be able to then tell you who purchased the medical equipment from them bearing those numbers," she said.
With over 25 years of experience in the health sector, she is well aware of the lackadaisical attitude towards disposal of hospital waste, toxic and otherwise. Often on field visits she said she found un-used needle destroyers sitting pretty in cupboards of district government hospitals "under lock and key".
Meanwhile, Sepa will be issuing notices to all the area medical facilities to make their hospital disposal plans available to them.
"I would be interested to know how they segregate, whether they use of colour-coded drums for disposal that they claim they do and what happens to the waste before it is transported to the incinerators," said DG Mughal, adding that his officers do visit health facilities "off and on". He said he was also not very sure if the two incinerators of KMC were running efficiently.
"I plan to visit Mewa Shah (where the two are installed) soon to see for myself," but conceded a more coordinated effort and cooperation from all medical facilities and waste management authorities was needed.
"Our incinerators are working well. We religiously collect and incinerate waste, both the hazardous and non-hazardous kind, from 14 of our hospitals and one dental college, under us," responded Dr Ali confident the waste thrown out by the sea could not have come from any of the KMC-run medical facilities.
But it is not just about whether there are enough incinerators in Karachi or whether they are in working order. Dr Seemi Jamali, heading the Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre (JPMC) says the waste generated and collected at hospitals may not even reach the incinerator or the landfill site.
"Much of it may well be stolen from within the premises. Despite our best efforts to manage waste in a scientific manner, the possibility of it being pilfered is quite real," she said. And once out of the hospital compound, it finds its way into the hands of recyclers, who hire very young kids, segregating syringes from mounds of waste.
"I myself have caught kids busy doing this work, have even reported them, just behind JPMC. They vanish for a few weeks and then return and continue separating the used waste," she said. Not only that, often the contaminated hospital waste finds itself mixed with the municipal waste.
Nevertheless the furore by Shaniera's tweets has created a few ripples within the medical fraternity.
"Though not a huge quantity, the surfacing of three dozen or so used syringes gives a glimpse of how ineffective safe management of hospital waste is by our authorities," pointed out Dr Khan.
Saleemuz Zaman has been running a private waste disposal company called the Global Environmental Lab (Pvt) Limited, collecting and disposing hazardous industrial waste since 1998, specially from pharmaceutical companies.
He is not very happy with slipshod way waste is handled in the city, specially the hazardous kind. "It's very unfortunate that a dozen or so Sepa-certified companies have taken on this serious task without any checks," he said, having misgivings about its safe disposal.
"I am not even sure if the incinerators work efficiently; and for all we know the waste may be thrown somewhere midway."
Putting the record straight, Mughal, director general of Sepa said those companies "cannot transport and dispose hospital waste" only permitted to lift industrial waste.
While his company does not lift and transport hospital waste, Saleemuz Zaman is willing to set up a system for disposal of medical waste — both hazardous and otherwise — "only if I am given assurances" of smooth running without interference or pressure from vested groups of such a facility.
The important thing, said Dr Khan, is that waste should not leave the hospital premises, "not even the non-hazardous kind". And incinerators should burn the waste with minimal damage to the environment, she said. According to her, the best incinerators are those that not only leave a very small carbon footprint, but also leave a reduced quantity of ash.
"We do have such state-of-the-art incinerators in our country; I know Lahore does, but I am not sure how qualified the operators are or if they have been imparted knowledge to differentiate between the different kind of waste and treat it thus?"
Dr Wasif Shahzad, executive director operations and chief operating officer at The Indus Hospital, is happy the recent outcry by Shaniera has resulted in putting the authorities on the spot.
"Without proper monitoring, it is easy for those responsible for disposing of medical waste, to get away without following the protocols."
He hoped the Sindh Health Care Commission would jump into the fray. "I know it's still in infancy, but hopefully if it has the teeth, it will carry out thorough investigations."
And therefore, Shaniera suggests, all departments and agencies — be it the Sindh Solid Waste Management Board, or the Health Department, the DHA, Clifton Board, the KMC or even Sepa — "need to work together to ensure that every single hospital, clinic and lab in Karachi is disposing of their medical waste appropriately", she said while talking to Dawn.com. Now is the time, she said, that appropriate departments step up to ensure the safety of the people living here in Karachi.

Downregulation of N-terminal acetylation triggers ABA-mediated drought responses in Arabidopsis

Original versionLinster, E., et al. (2015) Downregulation of N-terminal acetylation triggers ABA-mediated drought responses in Arabidopsis. Nature Communications, 6:7640 10.1038/ncomms8640
N-terminal acetylation (NTA) catalysed by N-terminal acetyltransferases (Nats) is among the most common protein modifications in eukaryotes, but its significance is still enigmatic. Here we characterize the plant NatA complex and reveal evolutionary conservation of NatA biochemical properties in higher eukaryotes and uncover specific and essential functions of NatA for development, biosynthetic pathways and stress responses in plants. We show that NTA decreases significantly after drought stress, and NatA abundance is rapidly downregulated by the phytohormone abscisic acid. Accordingly, transgenic downregulation of NatA induces the drought stress response and results in strikingly drought resistant plants. Thus, we propose that NTA by the NatA complex acts as a cellular surveillance mechanism during stress and that imprinting of the proteome by NatA is an important switch for the control of metabolism, development and cellular stress responses downstream of abscisic acid.

Open enrollment for health insurance begins again on November 1st and millions of Americans have signed up to make sure they are in the loop about important coverage deadlines, as well as newly available prices and plans in 2016. As we move into the third year of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), AA&MDSIF wants to highlight a few of the issues that patients with rare diseases should be aware of:
- The Health Insurance Marketplace is a new way for individuals, families, and small businesses to get health coverage;
- The ACA requires insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing health conditions;
- The ACA protects your choice of doctors, and
- Allows young adults to remain on their parents' plan until age 26.
Before enrolling, it is important to make sure you have the proper information at hand to make your enrollment process smoother. Here is a checklist to help you organize what you need during this process:
- Compare the levels of coverage based on you or your family's medical needs for the upcoming year. These plans range from Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum;
- Have social security numbers and birth dates at hand for each family member
- Organize tax records, job and income information to apply for federal financial assistance on the eHealth Insurance Marketplace;
- Keep track of qualifying life events (i.e. a birth of a child, marriage, adoption, relocation, etc.) that allow you to change your enrollment information and selected plans. You have 60 days after these events to make any changes; and
- It is important to save your online forms!—When completing any forms, make sure you save your application. You have the option to return later to finish. Saving as you go prevents having to re-enter information
If you have not applied for insurance or need to update your plan this is an opportunity to enroll, renew or change your plan through the marketplace. For more information, please visit www.healthcare.gov.

Mannie Jackson considers one of his seemingly minor accomplishments his most monumental: He was elected team captain by his teammates on the University of Illinois basketball team during the 1959-60 season, his senior year. Jackson didn't want to accept the mantle, yearning to focus only on what transpired on the court. But his father implored him to embrace his first opportunity to be a leader.
More than five decades later, that decision came full circle: Jackson was presented the Theodore Roosevelt Award – the NCAA's highest honor – at Friday's 2015 NCAA Honors Celebration for his exploits on the court, his rise to becoming an executive of a major corporation, his time as owner of the Harlem Globetrotters and an enduring commitment to philanthropy, among other accomplishments. Jackson was honored alongside the NCAA's Silver Anniversary Award winners, Today's Top 10 winners and the recipients of the Inspiration Award and Award of Valor. The ceremony took place during the 2015 NCAA Convention.
"I've never been so honored. I've never felt like the body of work, my career, that someone has acknowledged it," Jackson said before the event. "I'm still processing it."
The parents of former University of Alabama swimmer John Servati, who sacrificed his own life to save his girlfriend during an April 18 tornado that ravaged Tuscaloosa, Alabama, accepted the Award of Valor on his behalf. The award is bestowed upon someone with ties to college athletics who acted bravely and selflessly when confronted with a dangerous situation.
April Holmes, a former Norfolk State University runner who lost her leg in a train accident and went on to become an accomplished Paralympian and motivational speaker, accepted the Inspiration Award, which is given each year to someone who had to overcome trauma and has gone on to become a role model to others who face similar obstacles.
The Silver Anniversary Awards are given to former student-athletes who have excelled in the 25 years since their college athletics eligibility expired. Former Major League Baseball all-star pitcher Mike Mussina, who attended Stanford University, was among the six recipients on Friday. He credits older teammates with helping him navigate the complexities of being an 18-year-old far from his Pennsylvania home who had to learn to balance baseball with the demands of attending one of the nation's top schools. He said this award means a lot to him because of the important role Stanford played in his formative years, even though a noteworthy professional baseball career followed.
"Whoever I am now as a person, there's a little bit of Stanford in there," Mussina said. "Because of that, [events like this] are important. I want to do anything I can to represent Stanford University."
The other Silver Anniversary Award recipients were: former Stanford basketball player-turned-professional basketball standout Jennifer Azzi; Brent Lang, a former University of Michigan swimmer who is now president and CEO of Vocera Communications; former Oregon State University football player Pellom McDaniels, who now works as a professor of African-American Studies at Emory University; former Brown University basketball player and current Stanford Athletics Director Bernard Muir; and Tamyra Rogers, a former women's basketball player at the University of Oklahoma who became a physician and weight-loss specialist.
Former Emory University softball star Megan Light, was a recipient of the Today's Top 10 Award, which was given to 10 outstanding college athletes who were seniors in 2013-14, said she appreciated the opportunity to share time and a stage with the Silver Anniversary Award winners, admitting she even gawked at their lists of exploits on Wikipedia as she sat with them during a session held earlier in the day. Light was recognized for her talents on the field and for her already-robust accomplishments in public health.
"I see this award as a culmination of my athletic experience, of what I've done since I was little all the way through Emory," Light said. "But it's also a start – motivation for what I want to do moving forward."
Other Today's Top 10 recipients that were recognized included: Bentley University women's basketball player Lauren Battista, Dartmouth College runner Abbey D'Agostino, Loyola University-Maryland lacrosse athlete Joe Fletcher, Grand Valley State University runner Kristen Hixson, University of Oklahoma football player Gabe Ikard, University of Alabama gymnast Kim Jacob, Calvin College runner Nicole Michmerhuizen, Livingstone College basketball player Mark Thomas and University of Georgia swimmer Shannon Vreeland.
