Bronco Cheers Turn Into Frozen Tears
Alternative title was:
Whadaya Know…Joe Can Throw
Layers food and adrenaline are how you deal with extended periods of cold when tail-gat'n.
Some might say booze helps. We all know it doesn't really, but it does make being out in the cold a whole lot more tolerable. Plus if ever there was a right time and right place..Today qualified.
COLD..I like my cold with snow. No snow today. I heard a rumor this was the coldest Broncos home game since 1972. I believe it, I've never been cold at any sporting event like I was cold at this game. During the game unless you had club level seats there was nowhere to go to warm up.
By halftime my Coke was frozen in my cup…No joke!
Sitt'n here writing this blog entry a day later, I'm in shock, my head hurts, my bones are still cold from 7 hours in the elements and I can't for the life of me wrap my head around this season being over.
WTF happened?
Where was my man Champ Baily? I figured he'd be money this game.
Why did the Broncos take a knee with time on the clock?
Why did Moore let Jacoby Jones get in front of him? (Worst Play Ever)
Was it something I did or didn't do. Was it my new Jersey?
What happened to this being Peyton's house? Denver Defense?
I felt like I did my part.
It just didn't seem like the same team I watched win 11 straight games before today. For sure the Broncos didn't look like a SuperBowl bound team.
I'm totally kerfuffled.
I start to wonder does Manning have a post-season jinx?(He's now 9-11) Was it the combination of the pressure and the weather? Was his neck bugg'n him? I know when it's cold out my back just plain hurts.
Begrudgingly…Props to the Baltimore Ravens! What a game plan on both sides. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Best of luck to ya Ray Lewis(Snitch).
K and I showed up about 3 hours early each with about 5 layers of clothes and multiple hand and foot warmers. Underneath everything I was wearing my new Broncos jersey.
It's the one I won for the winning the Bud Light Bottle Race back in December of 2011. Long story short they it took them 11 months to send the first jersey and it was a size 56 XXXL. I had requested a 52 XXL.
It was returned back to the Broncos and just in time for this game I received my customized size 52 XXL Players Jersey. Thank you Broncos!!
I was extremely pleased with my Nikon camera for holding up in the single digit temps.
Here's the game from a fans point of view sitting there freezing his ass off.
5th level front row.
Here's Lee stepp'n on Champs hand to start the game off.
Holliday starts to work his way down field.
Quick look…No worries.
Damn he caught up quick…No worries I got this.
That's how you start a game!
Feeling invincible.
A fired up Champ Baily..Before the cold set in.
Champ about to get beat bad.
I feel ya Champ…Gett'n old sucks.
What's up with the Broncos fan wearing a Manning jersey cheering the Ravens extra point?
Tight end Joel Dreesson, starting to turn a nice pink color.
This gets ugly.
Decker gett'n manhandled.
Hit hard and the ball is loose.
Graham eyes it.
It's his.
At this point in the game my stomach started to feel a lil queezy.
The Ravens kept changing the momentum of this game. As much as Broncos fans were cheering and making noise, it was in vain. This bird soared into the end zone.
Stomach still queezy now my toes were gett'n cold.
Manning with a sweet pass to Stokley.
Stokley with a sweet catch for a TD!
Flacco to Rice…Waaaay to much of that during this game.
Ray Lewis giving Stokley some luv.
Manning to Moreno.
Flacco Sacco.
Von pressuring Flacco. I wanted to see more of this.
Bronco Luv!
Yeah Von!
Unfortunately that pissed Flacco off.
This is seconds before Broncos fans Superbowl dreams get crushed. Flacco worms his way into position.
Winds up.
Throws a Hail-Mary.
Why Moore is where he is…Is beyond me?
One helluva catch.
The rest explains itself.
The extra point was good and so were K and I.
I hadn't felt my toes in about an hour and my fingers couldn't work my camera anymore. K and I decided it was time to go.
We missed nothing.
There will be NO Superbowl for Denver this year.
If Manning is gonna make (sometimes extremely cold)Denver his home for the next couple of years, the folks that can may wanna consider putt'n a retractable lid on 'ole Mile High.
This way we can keep Manning's hands warm and his head in the game.
Manning's play was obviously affected by the weather. I get that, but how do you fix that? 78,000 of us witnessed first hand Manning rapidly degrade as the temperature went from damn cold to nut shriveling.
This is a sad day for Broncos fans.
Let me just say…You gotta be hardcore to be a Colorado Sports fan.
I'm "D" the Ranter…Still in Shocko from Flacco.

Hi there. This is my first post, however I have read this forum for support throughout the last 7.5 weeks (age of my DS).
DS is my second child. My first, DD, was a very very difficult bf experience (horrible latching issues, low supply with slow weight gain, excruciatingly long feedings, etc). For the first few months I did not enjoy bf at all (in fact shamefully hated it), but made it to 10 months.
My DS in comparison is a cake walk. However im seeing signs of possible reflux or oald ... Im not sure if its either, but worried things my get worse if i do what i need to. I know many moms are going thru very hard times with bf and I'm not trying to look for problems. Just want to keep thing going well.
Here is some background (sorry for the length)
- Some challenges with the latch (cracked nipples, lipstick nipples, etc) which weren't fixed (LCs and pedi both said latch was great. LC said tongue tie (and lip ties) was the issue, but pedi disagreed). I nursed through the pain and things progressed well.
- My LO is an efficient feeder, and will nurse in about 15-30 min. He usually feeds every 2 hours during the day, though sometimes less, with cluster feeds from 5-8. Night time feeds are 2-3 hours apart, but sometimes in the early am every hour.
- the last while I can usually hear gulping when he feeds, and sometimes he pulls off, and a few times has chocked/coughed on the milk.
- he frequently gets upset while nursing. He'll arch his back or try to slam himself on my chest while I'm tring to burp him (while he is on my chest). I thought this was bc he needed to burb ...
-DS pits up a lot - Typically at least 2 times a feed, and often hour or more later. Often with chunky white pieces, but also without. I try to burp as much as possible. Many times he spits up with the burp.
- hes has suffered from gas very badly on and off. I believe a lot of it was related to issues pooping: at about 1.5 week mark, he stopped pooping often. First started going 3-4 dys without, and the 5-7 days. The longer he went, the worse he cried/screamed, arched his back, went red, etc. we also joticed he would throw up more. After periodic prune juice per recommendation by my dr, he was back to pooping daily without any juice, the pains, gas, spit up dramatically ruduced. until today. It's been 2days since his last bm, and today he was in pain again - though not for as long as in the past. When he does poop, it's yellow with seeds (not constipated).
-DS also seems to gag sometimes when he spits up; there were two times where his gagging really seamed like he was choking and couldn't breathe.
- weight gain is good. back to birth weight by day 8 and, gained 2lbs by first month.
I've noticed that the gagging, and fussiness during feeding is getting worse/more frequent. could this be oald and are there things I could do to keep it from progressing?
I know the above doesn't sound bad in comparison to what others are going thu. It's just that bf is going really, really well right now and I don't want that to change; I'm actually enjoying it this time around.
Any insights would be appreciated.

We <EANNERj> February 25, 1977 Page 1 Thrust into the Future Campaign progresses "As the money comes in, the work goes on," says John Butler, assistant to the president, in explaining the continued progress of CBC's Thrust into the Future Campaign. According to Butler, 70% of the school's one million dollar goal has already been attained in pledges and cash plus the self-liquidating loan for the apartments. Work on renovating the five story main building has begun; a roof was installed last week while the initial work on the sprinkler and electric systems have been completed. Stressing how "very important" these improvements are, Butler says the entire restoration project can be completed by this summer only "if enough money comes in." Thrust into the Future isacam paign to secure needed funds to renovate CBC's five story main building. This renovationwillpro- vide the necessary facilities for meeting current and future enrollment needs. After the Thrust campaign is completed in May, a "Wall Of Faith" will be constructed at ;he entranceway ofthe main building. The names of all the churches which supported the Thrust program will be included in the mosaic tile design. "It will be a witness to students and all those who visit," explains John Butler. According to Butler, the fund- raising drive has already completed at least one phase of its goal: "All the rooms have been memorialized." Also, two new wings have been designated on the ground floor. The "Founder's Wing" is being made possible through 20 gifts of $500 each, while the "Alumni Wing" will include all the gifts from alumni. The entire top floor of the building will become 'The Music Hall" through 25 gifts of $1,000 apiece. Anyone wishing to make a memorial gift should designate their gift to one of these areas of the building. Butler urges students to "write their pastors and ask them to support CBC in this project" so that the needed funds can be met. Students are also asked to look in store windows for the "Pray for Thrust in the Future" posters which have been sent to all area businesses and churches for display. Forensics capture sweepstakes award "We did really well!" A member of the forensics team summed up last weekend's speech tournament at University of California Riverside, with those words. Highlight of the competitions was Cal Baptist's first Sweepstakes Award: second place in the entire tournament (in total number of points)! CBC's Reader's Theatre group, composed of Alma Rhoades, Sherri Erkes, Jack Bracey, and Roy Ronveaux, took a second place. The theme of thejr several selections was the decline of marriage. Ron Nash made finals in both extemporary and impromptu categories. In liis second tournament this year (because of conflicts in job schedule), Bob Shipley placed second in extemporary. Dan Jones' expository speech was awarded second place. Alma Rhoades was first with her prose oral interpretation and second with her poetry oral inter- JACK BRACY, BobShipley, Mrs. Hokett, Roy Ronveaux, Alma Rhoades, and Dan Jones show steins won at UCR. pretation. Sherri Erkes made finals in the prose oral interpretation category. The forensics team is something everyone at CBC can be proud of. We can support them through our prayers and through our attendance at tournaments whenever possible. Seeing familiar faces in the audience certainly helps! Bonnie Metcalf appointed teacher-training coordinator MRS. BONNIE METCALF-newly elected coordinator of Teacher Training. In the recent meeting of the Board of Trustees Mrs. Bonnie Metcalf was elected Coordinator of Teacher Training and Assistant Professor of Education. Her appointment is effective June 1,1977, but she will be involved in some orientation activity this Spring. She and her husband Jim are members of Palm Baptist Church in River side. They have one son Cameron, who has worked for the federal government in the field of Ecology after completion of his master's degree at the University of Oklahoma. Mrs. Metcalf is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of California Baptist College. She holds an elementary credential, a secondary credential, and an administrative credential for California public schools. Her secondary work was done at the University of California at Riverside. In addition, she completed a Master of Arts Degree at Pepperdine University. She is finishing five years of service at Kolb Junior High School in Rialto where she teaches English. For the past two years she has been district chairperson of English and has had the responsibility of correlating the interest of all the English teachers on the secondary level in the district. Her principal in a letter of recommendation commented that "there are few other teachers whom 1 have known that are her equal." . . . Presenting the 1977 Homecoming Court. Trustees defend actions ... Mrs. Metcalf looks forward with great excitement to the opportunity of working with student teachers at California Baptist College. She will be continuing the tradition of strong leadership established by Mrs. Wilma T. Brown who is completing her work at CBC this Spring Semester. SO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO GET A JOB... If so, don't miss the career symposium to be held March 30-April 1. Subjects such as values clarification and resume preparation will be discussed. Special speakers will be Dr. Gary Collins, clinical psychologist, professor of psychology, and former Dean of Students at CBC; Sandra Phelps, Cal State, San Diego, former Associate Dean of Students, CBC; Richard Young, instructor in psychology at CBC; Dr. Robert Jabs, Business Administration, Azusa Pacific Col lege, and Ms. Julie Allen, Career Consultant, UC, Irvine. Look for more information in later issues. The Board of Trustees of California Baptist College has a deep commitment to the maintenance of a strong Christian witness in the college family. It interprets Scripture to mean that God established the home so that we might exercise His qualities of forgiveness and redemption and, thereby, better understand His love for us. He has bound us to the marital relationship as He bound Himself to the church. Violation ofthe marital relationship is a sin against God and man that touches several generations. When a teacher in a Christian college becomes unable to apply forgiveness and redemption in marriage, we feel that his special responsibility in the student-teacher relationship is impaired. The trustees have a deep appreciation of the alumni and students, and respect for the faculty. The influence of the one on the other is the only reason for the labors of the trustees. In view of the concern of these groups over the recent action of the trustees on a divorce policy, the officers have determined to immediately lead the board in attempting to work toward solutions that will not compromise the basic goals of the trustees and administration. CBC Trustee Officers * * * * The chairman and the officers of the Board of Trustees have in- ii i mil mi i __________—_——___ Noon Worship, Tuesdays, 12:30 structed the president of the college not to implement the recent action ofthe board. The chairman is polling the entire board and asking for their approval to reconsider the policy at the regular May meeting ofthe trustees. James R.

Wendy Aylsworth fixed her eyes on a screen at the Landmark theater in West Los Angeles, carefully studying a scene of hobbits preparing a lavish feast.
"We're seeing good detail and a richness in the characters," Aylsworth said. "It's right on."
The Warner Bros. senior vice president of technology was reviewing a test reel for the "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," and a new projection technique that will show the highly anticipated Peter Jackson movie at 48 frames a second.
The controversial new technology could revolutionize traditional movies, which have been projected at a standard 24 frames per second for almost 90 years. Warner Bros. will become the first studio to release a major Hollywood movie in 48 frames a second when its "Hobbit" premieres in the U.S. on Dec. 14.
VIDEO: Peter Jackson on 'The Hobbit' and 48 frames format
The studio has been running the test reel in hundreds of theaters from Los Angeles to Tokyo to Madrid to ensure that the theaters are ready for the rollout of the new technology.

STOCKTON - Gabe Vincent decided he'd seen enough in the beginning of the fourth quarter.
STOCKTON - Gabe Vincent decided he'd seen enough in the beginning of the fourth quarter.
The St. Mary's junior guard took over Saturday's boys basketball game with Lincoln to hold off the Trojans 61-50. He finished with a game-high 25 points at Delta College's Joe Blanchard Gym.
Lincoln was down by 15 points in the third quarter, before extending a 13-2 run into the fourth quarter. It trailed 40-36 early in the fourth, when Vincent made three consecutive 3-pointers to get the Rams's back to 11. On each three, he simply gave a few dribble moves on the perimeter and rose above his defender.
"Gabe hit some timely 3s today," St. Mary's coach Ken Green said. "After that, we were able to get some easy ones and build the lead back up."
Vincent helped get the Rams up 20-8 in the first quarter by scoring 10 points in the first 6 minutes, 18 seconds. Despite missing their first eight shots of the following quarter, St. Mary's (17-7) led by 11 at halftime as Lincoln (18-5) struggled to score.
Junior forward Joseph Harrison led Lincoln with 21 points and had 12 of the team's 17 points before the break. Senior forward Julio Muao fouled out with 10 points.
The Trojans were hurt by missing all 20 3-point attempts. They did a good job of getting inside against an undersized St. Mary's team but made 8 of 22 free throws.
"The free throws and 3-pointers were huge numbers for us," Lincoln coach Gary Greeno said. "For the most part, I thought our 3-pointers were good shots. I guarantee you we won't shoot that bad again."
Starting point guard Ryan Fernandez followed a 19-point performance the night before against Bear Creek by scoring eight points. His first field goal came with just over a minute to play.
St. Mary's forward Zachary Zeyen entered the game averaging 9.1 points per game and finished with 18 points.
"I was trying to get other people involved and I was able to find my senior Zach," Vincent said. "He played great."
St. Mary's has now won four consecutive meetings against Lincoln, with the Trojans' last victory in 2008-09.
Each took a break from league play, Lincoln 6-0 in the San Joaquin Athletic Association and St. Mary's the same in the Tri-City Athletic League.
"We have to learn from today and get better," Greeno said. "We're still a good team."
- Mark Godi, Record Correspondent

At Santa Barbara, the Tigers lost to No. 3 UCLA 11-5 but rebounded to beat Azuza Pacific 13-5 on the first day of the UC Santa Barbara Winter Invitational.
Against UCLA, Brydie Pye led Pacific with two goals, and Taylor Adair, Kelsey Carter and Noelle Mann each had a goal, and Michelle Relton had 12 saves.
Adair scored three goals, and Pye, Elise Martin, Gracie Smith and Chelsea Weir each had two goals against the Cougars. Relton had a season-high 14 saves.

it would be better if someone can post some essaies that teach us how to write~!
Student or Learner
is it really good for other people help you with that way?
to edit essay for you?!
i don't think so~
it would be better if someone can post some essaies that teach us how to write~!
in my opinion there is no way that you can write good essays just by reading someone else's essay. At the University of British Columbia students are require to think and bring up new topics or new ideas for most essay or paper assignment. i think that if someone wants to improve there english essay skills, he or she should practice writing, proofreading or get someone to proofread and understand how the person edited your essay thinks or to try not to make the same mistakes over and over again.Originally Posted by Firelord
so in my opinion if you don't write or just read essays, it won't help much.
most people improve by writing essays, getting proofread and rewriting the essay and understanding the problem or errors.
reading essays will only improve reading skills and vocab but not writing skill.
your idea is good!
well, let's work on that~
is here any lessons about proofreading?!
post some!
well i have posted some essay and got some feedback on how to improve. and i figured that really helped me a lot. it is lke learning math and practicing to be better at it.Originally Posted by Firelord

November 30, 2011 -
"The action of the Federal Reserve announced this morning to extend existing bilateral swap arrangements with European and other foreign central banks is a recognition of the interconnected nature of the global economy. Since early 2005, I have stated my concern that the interconnectedness of the global economy makes it necessary for U.S. policymakers to recognize we are not immune from the economic problems in the rest of that world and that we must consider not only our own actions but the actions of other policymakers as we work to advance America's economic interests. Particularly in the case of Europe, it is in our national interest to see that region recover because it is such a large and important market for the goods and services produced by American companies and American workers. What we as policymakers need to advocate are the actions that best serve the needs of the United States, our economy and, most importantly, our citizens. Today's central bank action should not and cannot absolve European policymakers from the need to resolve their own problems, which arise from economic, cultural, and sovereignty issues and profligate government spending. In Europe there is an historical problem of overly generous retirement benefits, which allow workers in some countries, particularly Greece, to leave the productive economy years before not only their neighbors in Germany but the vast majority of workers in the United States. We need to recognize that in our country, unsustainable labor agreements led to the failure of GM and, currently, AMR, which both had to file bankruptcy in order to restructure their labor agreements. If the U.S. is to continue to support Europe, then Europeans must be willing to make the same kind of painful choices to reflect today's economic reality."

Mar. 5, 2012
BOSTON — Massachusetts gasoline prices are up for the 11th consecutive week. According to AAA of Southern New England, the average price of $3.73 per gallon in the Bay State is 29 cents higher than a year ago. But if you think that's high, a new study says higher gasoline taxes might be just what's needed to get Americans to reduce their consumption.
Study co-author Erich Muehlegger, associate professor of public policy at Harvard's Kennedy School, says that incremental increases in prices at the pump are not enough to dramatically reduce gasoline consumption — largely because drivers think that over time the prices could come down. However, increases in taxes are seen as permanent and drivers alter their behavior more dramatically, especially when it comes to what kind of car they will buy.

Tyson's Corner, VA (AP) - Defending national champion Alabama is No. 1 atop the USA Today preseason coaches' poll.
Boise State will begin the season ranked No. 5. The Broncos, like Alabama, finished last season 14-0. They beat TCU in the Fiesta Bowl.

Photographer's Note
Another daily scene captured in an old quarter of Ahmedabad. It was also taken early in the morning, in an old alley. Our presence got the attention of this couple, who approached the windows to watch us.
Far away from the crowds of tourists, a visit to the old quarters of this city can be a fantastic and magical experience and a chance to talk to the locals and watch their daily life.
Founded in the 15th century by Sultan Ahmed Shah, Ahmedabad is a fast growing city and the largest one in the Gujarat state.

Hola Ana,
Nice daily life shot, with a lot of details and warm colors.
This is just me, but I wonder what would happen if you cropped the photo and left only the right window. Of course this would require a vertical framing and be a totally different image...
Kind regards,

Hello Ana - What a wonderful slice of DL. I like the details very much; the woman leans out of the window watching the goings on in the street below, her husband is less visible and I really like the way I discovered him lurking within the shade! Warm regards Rosemary

Ola Ana,
why is the drying laundry so picturesque? The visit in the old city far away from all the turists must be great experience. Nice that there are people in the window, observing what is going on the street. Very pleasant daily life scene. Warm regrads
jcpix (14030) 2013-08-12 18:59
Hi Ana,
Many of your recent pictures show so much of the daily life of the locals that I enjoy, but this one stands out to me. There's just something about hanging laundry and residents looking out of windows that elevates that attraction...that "every day life" side of things. Wonderful framing that encapsulates these elements to a great degree, all done with detail and character. A lot of color and strong texture throughout. Very nicely spotted and smartly arranged. Thanks for sharing the perspective. Have a great week.
Best wishes,

Police arrest Auburn man after incident at Hooksett Applebee's
HOOKSETT - An Auburn man is under arrest on offenses related to a disruption he caused Tuesday night inside Applebee's on Hooksett Road, police said.
Ian Holland, 26, was being belligerent and disruptive to staff and customers, Applebee's employees told police.
He allegedly followed the manager around the building from table to table and then into the kitchen. He was asked several times to leave, but he refused, police said.
He allegedly assaulted an employee as he was being escorted out of the restaurant. Police said Holland refused to cooperate and did not understand that he was not permitted back into the restaurant.
He was arrested for criminal trespass, simple assault and resisting arrest.
At the station, police said he became uncooperative during the booking process and when being transported to the Merrimack County jail in Boscawen, he became combative.
He allegedly kicked Officer Justin Sargent in the face when Sargent tried to secure him in the back seat of the cruiser.
Holland is being held at the county jail pending a 1 p.m. video arraignment Wednesday at 6th Circuit Court, Hooksett District Division.

Real Madrid defender Ricardo Carvalho believes his team-mates have what it takes to overturn the 4-1 deficit inflicted by Borussia Dortmund ahead of Tuesday's return leg in the Champions League.
Mourinho's men were humbled by the German giants at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday, prompting many to believe the Blancos' chances of securing a 10th European cup - or La Decima - had sustained irreversible damage.
However, Carvalho says his team-mates are more than capable of netting the three goals necessary to keep alive their hopes of making May's Wembley final.
"We have to play at the level that we can and we know that we can score goals because we have top quality players, and we'll also have to defend well," the defender told the club's official website.
"It will be difficult because they have very good players and can score goals, but we can score three goals.
"We know how important it is for us and the club and we will give everything on the pitch on Tuesday.
"On Tuesday we have to play with more intensity. We did not play well, we did not play as a team and we were not at the level we can play at, but on Tuesday we have to try to win."
The 34-year-old played 90 minutes in the 2-1 victory over local rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday, and the former Chelsea defender has acknowledged the importance of going into Tuesday's semi-final on the back of a win.
"We played very well. Winning is always very important after a match that you have lost, and this was a derby," added Carvalho.
"This win is very important for the team and we want to show the same attitude against Borussia to try to get to the final. It is good motivation."
The game at the Santiago Bernabeu kicks off at 20:45CET.

Junior World Rugby Trophy 100 Days Out
• Planning and preparation on track
• Murray Field, Salt Lake City, is named host venue
With just over 100 days to go until the IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy 2012 gets underway in Salt Lake City, the venue, pools and match schedule have been announced for the key international Age Grade tournament.
The showcase IRB fifteens tournament will see Utah's Murray Field take centre stage, hosting four back to back matches across the four match days, kicking off on Monday, June 18.
The tournament will enjoy full coverage via www.usarugby.org with all 16 matches being streamed live.
The hosts will face pre-tournament favourites Tonga on the opening day, but not before Japan, who have finished runners-up for the past two years, take on the hugely improved Zimbabwe, Chile face Russia and Georgia play Canada in the eight-team event.
The format will see the winners of the two pools face each other in the Final on Saturday, June 30 to claim the title and with it promotion to the IRB Junior World Championship 2013 in France.
For the full match schedule click here
IRB Chairman, Bernard Lapasset, said: "Rugby is the fastest growing team sport in the US and therefore it is wholly appropriate that one of our flagship events should be hosted by a country that has a huge appetite and enthusiasm for the sport. I am sure that Salt Lake City will be exceptional hosts and that USA Rugby will maximise the potential of this event to further boost awareness and participation."
"The single venue format together with some hugely anticipated matches, including the USA in action against Russia and Tonga, plus the live streaming of all matches to an exciting Rugby market will ensure continued exposure for a sport which is rapidly capturing hearts and minds."
Preparations are on track with tournament organisers anticipating huge interest in a sport which continues to gain significant momentum in one of the world's major markets, particularly following the decision to admit Rugby Sevens to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
"Salt Lake City is gearing itself up for a wonderful tournament and the opportunity to showcase the Game across the country, with high-quality Rugby and some of the best young players in the world on show," said Nigel Melville, USA Rugby CEO and President of Rugby Operations.
"This region is a hotbed of Rugby in the US, with the Game expanding in schools, high schools and through strategic college programmes. We expect thousands of fans to embrace the chance to see elite Rugby and cheer on the USA team, and teams such as Tonga and Samoa which will be well supported by the local population."
The tournament will aim to exceed the record-breaking event in Georgia last year, and provide compelling and entertaining Rugby whilst leaving a lasting legacy for the Game in the host nation. Russia's Denis Simplikevich became one of the latest of the 82 JWRT graduates to grace the world stage when he made his Test debut at Rugby World Cup 2011.
Tai Enosa, Scott LaValla and Shawn Pittman who now play regularly for the Eagles at fifteens and Sevens, also cut their teeth on the world stage at IRB age grade tournaments.

Frank Kaminsky and Jahlil Okafor are as different as stories can be in college basketball. The two, however, have a lot in common — both are in the Final Four and both were the top selections on The Associated Press's 2014-15 All-America team.
Kaminsky, the 7-foot senior from Wisconsin, was a unanimous choice Monday. Okafor, the 6-11 freshman from Duke, received all but one first-team vote.
Notre Dame senior Jerian Grant, Kentucky junior Willie Cauley-Stein and Ohio State freshman D'Angelo Russell rounded out the first team.
Kaminsky worked his way to the top by improving through four seasons in college. Okafor arrived with all the laurels out of high school and...

Staff and volunteers at FGC are deeply concerned about faithful and responsible stewardship of the resources that make the work of FGC possible. Our stewardship efforts have four components:
FGC uses Quaker worship and practices to define and guide the work of the organization. See the governance section.
Fiscal Responsibility

We are concerned that FGC provide high value for meetings, Friends and those exploring the Quaker way. Committees set clear strategic goals.

We are open. We make our use of financial resources and our results available publicly. We encourage feedback and dialogue on how we use resources and on our performance.

There is a common misconception that IN behaves equaliy to EXISTS or JOIN in terms of returned results.
This is simply not true. To see why not, let's review what each statement does.
Returns true if a specified value matches any value in a subquery or a list.
Returns true if a subquery contains any rows.
Joins 2 resultsets on the joining column.
If not read carefully it looks pretty same so far, doesn't it.
The difference comes when you take into account the "dreaded" THREE-VALUED LOGIC.
Let's review that also:
-- this is true
-- this is false
-- this is unknown - it is usually expected to be false, but that only shows
-- misunderstanding of nulls. It's not false it's only treated as false in the filter
-- this is also unknown - but logicaly it would seem it would be true
-- but unknown compared to unknown equals uknown and it is treated as false in the filter
The where will return a row only if the condition evaluates to true which UNKNOWN isn't.
So let's demonstrate this with some code. I've commented it heavily so it can be self explaining.
I've also shown a parser bug in the IN Query. Well... it's a bug if you ask me. It shouldn't behave like that.
-- Prepare tables and data
CREATE TABLE t1 (id INT, title VARCHAR(20), someIntCol INT)
CREATE TABLE t2 (id INT, t1Id INT, someData VARCHAR(20))
INSERT INTO t1
SELECT 1, 'title 1', 5 UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 'title 2', 5 UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 'title 3', 5 UNION ALL
SELECT 4, 'title 4', 5 UNION ALL
SELECT null, 'title 5', 5 UNION ALL
SELECT null, 'title 6', 5
INSERT INTO t2
SELECT 1, 1, 'data 1' UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 1, 'data 2' UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 2, 'data 3' UNION ALL
SELECT 4, 3, 'data 4' UNION ALL
SELECT 5, 3, 'data 5' UNION ALL
SELECT 6, 3, 'data 6' UNION ALL
SELECT 7, 4, 'data 7' UNION ALL
SELECT 8, null, 'data 8' UNION ALL
SELECT 9, 6, 'data 9' UNION ALL
SELECT 10, 6, 'data 10' UNION ALL
SELECT 11, 8, 'data 11'
-- we want to get all data in t1 that has a child row in t2
-- join gives us more rows than we need, because it joins to every child row
SELECT t1.*
FROM t1
JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.t1Id
-- distinct would solve that but it's not pretty nor efficient
SELECT DISTINCT t1.*
FROM t1
JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.t1Id
-- now this is a weird part where someIntCol is a column in t1
-- but the parser doesn't seem to mind that
SELECT t1.*
FROM t1
WHERE t1.id IN (SELECT someIntCol FROM t2)
-- here in and exists both get correct results
SELECT t1.*
FROM t1
WHERE t1.id IN (SELECT t1id FROM t2)
SELECT t1.*
FROM t1
WHERE exists (SELECT * FROM t2 WHERE t1.id = t2.t1id)
-- we want to get all data in t1 that doesn't have a child row in t2
-- join gives us the correct result
SELECT t1.*
FROM t1
LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.t1Id
WHERE t2.id IS NULL
-- IN doesn't get correct results.
-- That's because of how IN treats NULLs and the Three-valued logic
-- NULL is treated as an unknown, so if there's a null in the t2.t1id
-- NOT IN will return either NOT TRUE or NOT UNKNOWN. And neither can be TRUE.
-- when there's a NULL in the t1id column of the t2 table the NOT IN query will always return an empty set.
SELECT t1.*
FROM t1
WHERE t1.id NOT IN (SELECT t1id FROM t2)
-- NOT EXISTS gets correct results
SELECT t1.*
FROM t1
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM t2 WHERE t1.id = t2.t1id)
DROP TABLE t2
DROP TABLE t1
We can see that it's best to use EXISTS because it always behaves as the user would think it does.
Hope this demonstartes the logical difference between the 3 close yet so far apart functionalities of SQL Server

The Taliban swap: Making America less safe
President Obama's prisoner exchange with the Taliban is both illegal and dangerous. In trading five Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay for American Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was a Taliban prisoner for five years, Obama weakened our nation and made a target of any American abroad.
The swap violated last year's Defense Authorization Act, which required several committees of Congress to be notified of such swaps in advance. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, who applauded the prisoner swap, both voted for the law it violated. But America is used to this President ignoring the laws he is sworn to uphold. More alarming are the long-term ramifications.
First, the United States now officially negotiates with terrorists, a horrible development that will encourage more kidnappings of Americans abroad. Second, the deal frees five dangerous Taliban officials, including two considered high risk by the Pentagon, to resume killing Americans and our allies.
The President increased the risk to American civilians and service members to obtain the release of a soldier who was captured after deserting his post, according to members of his unit. The government should have worked to secure Sgt. Bergdahl's safe return. But this deal was a terrible way to do it. Americans are less safe because of it.

Project Description
Altex Technologies Corporation is fabricating and testing a lab scale liquid fuel production system using coal containing different percentages of biomass such as corn stover and switchgrass at a rate of two liters per day.
Project Benefits
This Altex Technologies Corporation project will develop and test an integrated laboratory-scale coal-and-biomass-to-fuels system (CBTL). The impact of this project will be to develop a cost-effective gasification-based CBTL process to produce renewable liquid fuels that will provide diversity of fuel supply and energy security while resulting in lower future capital and operating costs. Specifically, this project will design and build (1) an innovative upstream process that converts the solid feed into a highly reactive intermediate and (2) a downstream process which converts the intermediate product into liquid fuel using a low-temperature catalytic system.

I believe every Arab nation that is throwing out a dictator will be replaced by a theocracy and a religious dictator.
Wow... I don't even know where to begin with this one. I mean, saying that we took the wrong side in Kosovo simply because one side claimed to be of the same faith as us? Really? So all the ethnic cleansing (genocide), rape, and torture that went on at the hands of the "christians" is ok? We may have sided against Christians, but we most absolutely took the right side. We chose the side of peace.
fcadcock, you sound like the same tired propaganda that is all over the mass media. It has no truth to it.Turn off FAUX television and maybe you will begin seeing things for what they are, instead of repeating the same old falsehood. The situation on the ground does not support your claims that things are changing for the better in that region, but just the opposite is true.
The story of what's going on over there isn't some 2 second sound bite or photograph. It's been going on for hundreds of years and is extremely complex.
Depends. If you compare the US to countries like Canada, Australia, UK, and many European countries, then no. Certainly however, the US has greater freedom than countries that have been crippled with war, tyrannical governments, and deep poverty.
Jaime, of course you are absolutely right, we should have had a much better energy policy in place for decades.And it would have masked over the more fundamental problems for a while, and saved some REAL lives too.But be it as it may, whatever circumstances we are in, our actions speak to our character.More and more we look like some super rich gangster driving down the road and stopping to rob some pennies out a beggar's hat.Considering how much better off we are then the nations we rob, it makes our behavior much more despicable.IMHO

Lollapalooza, according to "Rushmore" star and former Phantom Planet drummer Jason Schwartzman, is a little like the 1986 animated film "Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation.
He can explain. Sort of.
"The bands stay in one hotel and hang out in the lobby together and go to see each other's show," Schwartzman said the Monday after last year's Lollapalooza. "That makes me happy. It's like the Care Bears movie where the Care Bears and the Care Bears Cousins join forces to take on the evil wizard at summer camp. It always gave me chills."
Schwartzman is right. Many of the artists do stay at one hotel and spend much of the reunionlike weekend supporting one another....

DeLand product De'Ante 'Pop' Saunders said Wednesday he has been released from the Florida Gator football program.
De'Ante 'Pop' Saunders' up-and-down Florida career is over.
The sophomore safety and DeLand High graduate said Wednesday he has been released from the UF football program.
"It happened a couple of days ago," Saunders said. "It's been a long time coming."
Saunders was suspended for a violation of team rules in November. He did not play in Florida's final two regular-season games and was ruled out for the Sugar Bowl by UF coach Will Muschamp. Saunders also missed the first two games of 2012 for disciplinary reasons.
Saunders was arrested for marijuana possession in May 2011, and a separate issue caused him to be suspended for last year's game against Alabama.
"Nothing against Florida or Coach Muschamp, but I just needed a fresh start," Saunders said. "The top school I'm considering right now is Louisville."
The 5-foot-9, 189-pounder started seven of his eight games played this season and finished with 18 tackles and an interception. He saw action in 12 games as a true freshman and started nine, recording 26 tackles and two picks.
Saunders was one of 19 members in Muschamp's first recruiting class and came in as a three-star prospect. He is the sixth signee from the 2011 class that is no longer on Florida's roster.

On 8 March, International Women's Day, my business partner June Sarpong and I will bring our New York women's empowerment event, the WIE Symposium back home, to London.
WIE is a women's conference, a forum for this generation's leaders to inspire and empower the next. The event has attracted some incredible thought-leaders over the years - Arianna Huffington, Sarah Brown, Donna Karan, Melinda Gates, Queen Rania, Iman, Diane von Furstenberg, Nancy Pelosi and Jill Biden to name but a few. They all shared valuable lessons, gave practical advice and provided inspiration.
We founded the WIE Network to progress a fundamental idea - that all women need to be more encouraging and supportive of one another, especially in the workplace. Let's put our focus on mentoring and championing. While competition occurs naturally in the business world, we need to balance that with help and support for each other so that everyone moves forward.
WIE London's theme is "Owning Your Success". And there are a number of personal reasons for that choice.
Living in America has changed me a huge amount. Here, I've learned to cut to the chase, pursue my dreams, express my feelings without fear, and hold my own in any situation however intimidating. In the rapidly changing, densely populated metropolis that is New York City, you learn to adapt quickly to new situations. People come and people go and you adjust accordingly. There's no time for fear, you either jump on or get left behind.
The UK taught me the value of humility; the benefits of self-deprecation; the importance of objectivity and analytical thought; the ability to truly listen. I appreciate the art of great conversation and the joys of quick fire wit. I treasure my longstanding friendships.
I'm so grateful for all these experiences and have benefitted greatly from both worlds. With WIE, we wanted to share a little of what the Americans call 'chutzpah' with our UK friends. Self-deprecation and humility have their place, but not to the point where they overshadow the person and their accomplishments.
The brilliant array of speakers we've assembled for WIE include the indomitable Lynne Franks - my first ever boss; the fashion legend Vivienne Westwood; luminous actress and philanthropist Rosario Dawson and the incorrigible author, Kathy Lette. Entrepreneurs such as Ruby Hammer of Ruby and Millie, Jo Malone and Anya Hindmarch will share the secrets to building and sustaining a company.
Businesswoman and investor Lynn de Rothschild will lead a panel entitled Businesswomen Leading The Way. Why do women only account for only 14% of FTSE 100 directors? How do we improve female representation in leadership positions?
Julie Meyer of the BBC's Dragons Den will teach women how to navigate the world of finance and fundraising. The perception is that women are uncomfortable talking about money and reticent about asking for it. Well, women make up half the workforce. We are driving this economy and we need to take our place within it.
On Unstopppable Women, we'll hear from philanthropists such as Toyin Saraki, working to improve conditions for women in the developing world and from the Labour Party's rising star, Stella Creasy who speaks up for women's domestic issues.
The Huffington Post UK's Editor-in-Chief, Carla Buzasi, will moderate a discussion about telling women's stories through the media and increasing our visibility. Her panel will include a diversity of opinions, such as those of Oscar nominated Middle Eastern actress Shohreh Aghdashloo and journalist Celia Walden.
I can't wait to see what my hometown makes of WIE. But my real hope is that by the end of the conference, a few more women will be encouraged to truly own their success, comfortably pursue their ambitions and be open and proud of who they are and what they've achieved. If we don't, how can anyone else?
The WIE Symposium is on 8 March. Ticket sales and information here.

Benefits & Features
Whether competing in a tournament or chipping a practice drill, G400 men's compression arm sleeves offer focused support to your biceps, triceps and forearm muscles for increased proprioception.
SKINS unique and proprietary research into the body's compression requirements while in motion has been built into all G400 products. Dynamic gradient compression combines with 400 fit to accelerate blood flow – enhancing oxygen delivery to your active muscles and reducing the build-up of lactic acid. Muscle recovery is boosted and post-workout muscle soreness minimised.
Compression Benefits
Dynamic Gradient Compression
SKINS most advanced compression technology increases muscle oxygenation, stabilises active muscles and reduces blood lactate build up, to enhance performance and speed up recovery time.
Functional Design
400 Fit
3D body scan data and 400 key fitting points have been used to create a more precise and comfortable fit to maximise compression benefits.
Muscle Focus
Biomechanically positioned panels and seams support and stabilise the muscles to reduce fatigue and risk of injury.
Fabric Technology
Moisture Management
Moisture wicking fabric draws sweat away from the body to the surface of the garment where it evaporates to keep you dry.
Permanent antimicrobial treatment discourages bacteria by ionically absorbing the odour causing substances normally associated with Lycra wear. These features are built into all our fabrics, so they can't ever be washed out.
50+ UV Protection
SKINS proven 50+ UV protection.
Memory MX
Memory MX Fabric has a superior high-stretch yarn that doesn't change shape or sag, so you maintain consistent compression, session after session. A400 Long Tights have 70D Memory MX over the knee and Achilles tendon for unrestricted natural movement, and 210D Memory MX over the ITB and TFL muscle groups to help reduce the risk of injury.
Warp Knit
SKINS compression fabric is made from a warp knitted mix of yarns that give you a carefully calculated level of stretch for controlled compression and durability.

Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace star as two damaged souls in "Dead Man Down," a moody twist of hyper-violent vengeance and heartache where death is hand-delivered, mercy is hard to come by and love is never easy.
The slow-simmering potboiler is the first American film for Danish director Niels Arden Oplev, who created such a cold, calculating thrill, with Rapace as his muse, in the 2009 Swedish version of Stieg Larsson's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." An international sensation, it inspired the English-language take starring Rooney Mara a few years later, put Rapace on everyone's radar and opened Hollywood's door for Oplev.
Though you may wish Oplev had taken Door No. 2 — "Dead Man Down" won't be another career-definer for either director or actress — the filmmaker does have a better understanding of what to do with Rapace. Neither the silliness of "Sherlock Homes: Game of Shadows" nor the sci-fi of "Prometheus," her first forays into U.S. box-office territory, quite got at Rapace's strengths. Simply put, the actress works well in darkness, and there is darkness everywhere here.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
Maybe it's all those long, cold, sunless winters growing up in Denmark that shape the director's sensibility, or that screenwriter J.H. Wyman has been spending his recent years running the outer limits of Fox's "Fringe," but "Dead Man Down" is truly a game of shadows.

Alright, about the scene that's been floating around in my head...
Spoiler for LN Vol. 5 Ch. 4 (Project Silverback Ver.):
This right here will eventually lead to this scene I posted a while ago.
Any thoughts?

And you're right. This is why theme naming doesn't always have to be literal.
Shen Long refer to it's wind-pressure cannon ('weather manipulation'), BT refer to it's Tear-shaped BITs, Akatsubaki, Byakushiki, and Schwarzer series refer to their color, oddly enough, Silver Gospel probably referring to Archangel Gabriel ('Messenger of the God')

Shenlong is dragon god, or god dragon.
Byakushiki means white expressions so maybe something like a faceless being... slenderman IS?
Silver gospel's wings actually resemble a book more when you think about it. When the wings open up, the silver bell charges. angel is the first thing you correlate to the silver gospel so the basic angel shape is already taken into account.
Schwarzer Regen, I imagine it's a lot less bulky, and something far more lightweight looking. Kind of like something you'd drop down from the sky(rain). That and it's still armed with guns that make it rain lead.

Sooooo.... I'm currently on the creation on an AU of the 5th volume onwards. The simple premise is that the story is told from two PoVs. The canon side, and the OCs side.
The name will be, if I can claim it on time: Infinite Generations

Ran testing her Ace Custom Gripen. Using F414 Engine it has 20% extra boost.
Something like
1. She's best when using small craft (less than 15 ton MTOW)
2. She's suck when using anything less than overpowered craft (<1.1 Thrust/Weight)
Otherwise, she's a fairly good Ace Will post the draft soon.

On I.S. related note... BFS doesn't always means impossibly impractical when designed AND used right
Slider!Ichika's plasma sword is about 2.4m, which is quite long, but not that much massive compared to standard Katana (1.6-1.7 m). Though, it's justified by the fact that his unit is quite large to begin with, anyone using that just look silly.

But it's a little difficult to write something in one language, then translate it to english while not trying to lose the meaning of some dialogues ("universal translator" my ass)
ah well, gotta try to post the OCs sheet later. Still trying to find pictures so you can have an idea of how they look

Random stuff:
>Cyril's Japanese sounds weird because he learn it from anime Japanese Cartoon. (thankfully, he thinks more than he talks)
>Hammer sounds like a good idea for a weapon.
>Vantier's black-box is codenamed Toy-Box (nobody know why but that's what the creator put on the Blueprint but there is a reason for that).
Now, time for slightly more serious stuff:
Question of this post:
Which kind of Instant noodles Flavor would you want to try or raise your eyebrow at the most?
1. Chili Wasabi Curry
2. Blueberry Chocolate
3. Soya Sauce (normal flavor but to foreigner, it sounds kind of weird)
4. Miso Sasami
5. Jasmine Tea
6. Blue (just blue, they don't tell you what is inside)
7. Mayonnaise Ramune
Minor details of daily life add some flavor to the story .

Josh Perro, 19, a candidate for state representative, has ready responses to just about everything. Only when the topic turns to John Fresolo, whose resignation set the stage for a special election, does the lad get a little tongue-tied.
Granted, it's a sensitive issue. Fresolo was popular among his constituents in the 16th Worcester District, yet was forced to resign in the wake of an ethics probe that was never made public. The Fresolos and the Perros are family friends and live a street apart, and it's widely believed that Fresolo is supporting the college student behind the scenes, although everyone's playing coy and pretending that Fresolo is backing no one.
"John is not involved," Perro insisted last week, during an interview in his campaign office on Hamilton Street. When told that people suspect otherwise, he replied, "That's a smear campaign."
Well, would Perro welcome Fresolo's support, were he to give it?
"That's a great question!" he lied. "I can tell you ... well." He looked to his campaign manager for help, got none, and soldiered on.
"John isn't supporting anyone." Long pause. "If he changed his mind ... If he thought I ..."
Finally, you could almost see Perro's face light up as he hit upon a politically acceptable response.
"I'm building bridges," he said brightly. "I'm not burning bridges. I'm receptive to anyone who helps me get elected." So there.
Whenever people of a certain age learn that a 19-year-old is running for something, we tend to scowl on principle. Teenage boys should be ogling girls on the beach, not seeking the endorsement of the Ward 5 Democratic City Committee.
But the energetic Perro said his age is no barrier to elective office, and he argued that if 18-year-olds can go to war, then 19-year-olds can go to Beacon Hill.
"They say you fall in love as a teenager," he said. "I fell in love with politics. That's my love. As corny as it sounds, it's the truth."
The Grafton Hill native is a member of the Ward 5 committee and has interned on several local campaigns. He serves on the board of the Worcester Public Library and belongs to several neighborhood groups. He's the only candidate to already have an office and he employs two paid staffers. He won't say how much he's raised so far, but says the campaign has knocked on more than 1,000 doors in a campaign that could be decided by a few hundred votes.
The primary is set for Aug. 13, followed by a Sept. 10 special election. Democrats Khrystian King, Dan Donahue, Daniele F. Nanni, George Fox and James M. O'Brien have also taken out nomination papers, while Carol Claros will run as a Republican.
His campaign made a misstep last week when it announced it would hold a joint press conference with the other candidates to address housing conditions on Union Hill before securing their agreement to take part. But they did join together to blast Perro in a press release, calling the matter a "poor start by the Perro campaign." Last week, the teen called their response "immature" and attributed the flap to "crossed wires."
Perro started knocking on doors two days after Fresolo resigned his seat May 22. He said he hasn't spoken to the former rep since he stepped down, but called him a "tenacious fighter" for the largely blue-collar East Side district. He has spoken to Guy Glodis, former sheriff and state rep, who has "shared his words of wisdom with me," Perro said.
He recently transferred from Clark University to the College of the Holy Cross, but this summer he's getting an education pursued by few of his peers. And if age is no barrier to elective office, nor is it an obstacle to aplomb.
"I can provide a different perspective at the Statehouse," he said. "I have no doubt in my mind we're going to win this."

IDEC SPORT, the new maxi-trimaran, Francis Joyon, was baptized on Wednesday October 14 at La Trinité-sur-mer. The stand-by to try and beat the record for the Jules Verne Trophy starts in two weeks. Joyon took the opportunity to present its crew of five sailors, an onshore router, and an alternate. A very European commando mix of experience and youth was announced as well.
A story of men …After a month at the Multiplast yard in Vannes, IDEC SPORT was baptized on Wednesday on the pontoons from its home port: La Trinite-sur-Mer. It was Professor Gérard Saillant, co-founder of the Institute for Brain and Spinal Cord of (ICM), which is the sponsor of this new ride aboard which Francis Joyon and his men will leave in a few weeks at Conquest of the Planet. One goal: try to go round the world sailing in less than 45 days, which amounts to almost halve the clock imagined by Jules Verne for his hero Phileas Fogg …
Who are these men to whom Francis Joyon trusted? Great sailors, half French, strangers to each other. A very international crew that combines experience and youth. "I only took the skippers," said Francis to explain that the vessels need to know everything. All will be entrusted with the helm of the largest trimaran. "Unlike most teams provided where there are many specialized marine in one area, we will go with super-versatile aboard IDEC SPORT". And for good reason: six on board is very little. Only the first winner of the Jules Verne Trophy, Bruno Peyron, had dared to start at five, that was in 1993. Since then, the crew on this record is always between 10 and 14 Marine … it will be necessarily a great human story that will write Francis Joyon and his men around the world this winter. These are men, three French, a Swiss, a Spaniard and a German.
Bernard Stamm (SUI) 51
No introduction of this specialist round the world, the only one of IDEC SPORT commando having already won the Jules Verne Trophy (in 2005 aboard the maxi-catamaran Orange 2). Bernard also won a whopping three round the world monohull Twice Around Alone solo and once the Barcelona World Race twice. He also participated three times in the Vendée Globe. This hard hyper talented evil brings its wealth of experience forged over 30 years on all the world's oceans. Bernard Stamm: "Things have changed since my participation in the Jules Verne Trophy in 2005. The boats are different, the record is harder to take as well. But the principle is always the same: turn as fast as possible around the planet. I think the record is prenable, otherwise I would not be here! "
Gwénolé Gahinet (FRA) 31
The youngest of the team is the son of a legend in ocean racing, alas disappeared: his father Gilles was one of the few to have beaten Eric Tabarly on Transat and have twice won the Solitaire du Figaro. It is also Figaro that "gweno" made a very grand entrance in recent years, winning great results after a first victory on the Mini Transat. Naval architecture engineer, the good head has worked in VPLP, the firm that designed IDEC SPORT. This is his first world tour. Youth, technical knowledge and talent are in his luggage. Gwénolé Gahinet: "I have a lot Orma trimaran sailed and Multi 50 but I still have much to learn about these great multihulls. I open eyes, I record everything. I am very motivated to discover the South Seas is a whole universe that makes you want to be discovered. "
Alex Pella (ESP) 42
Born in Barcelona, this dynamic Catalan was first excellent technical preparer giant multihulls – including The Race-before embarking on a remarkable career via the Mini 6.50 (2nd of the Transat), the Class40 (winner Route du Rhum) and everything that floats next big boats, on one or more shells. Fourth in the Barcelona World Race in 2011, he also sailed a lot in multihulls and knows the seas of the Great South. He knows everything. Alex Pella: "I did not hesitate a second when Francis contacted me for the Jules Verne Trophy. This is a great adventure, especially in this configuration with a small crew and boat prowled. This will be my second trip around the world and it will be two times faster than IMOCA 60. "
Clément Surtel (FRA) 36
Nephew of another great sailor – Franck Yves Escoffier– but especially passionate about multihulls, Clement has a huge experience of major general and trimarans IDEC SPORT in particular. He was preparer when it sailed into the hands of Franck Cammas. Besides multiple crews sailing in large (several records with Orange 2 of the Atlantic and including 24 hours), Clement has already participated in two onshore Jules Verne Trophy in 2005 and 2010. This time he sailed! He is very familiar with the boat and its skipper qualities addition, it will be a great help in all technical aspects. Clément Surtel: "I have spent years navigating these great multihulls and that's it, I'll have the chance to make my first world tour and getting into the deep end of the South Seas! IDEC is a beautiful SPORT Trusted platform that has been prepared to complete the course in less than 45 days. On board, we will be at the bottom, we're off to a great transatlantic! "
Boris Herrmann (GER) 34
Two world tours and three passages of Cape Horn: Boris Herrmann knows the great wide! It also comes to force the passage Northeast aboard the old IDEC now in the hands of the Chinese Guo Chuan browser. In 2009, he became the first German to win a round the world sailing: the Global Ocean Race. He too is a jack-of-all engineering, all small monohulls to multihulls giants, with great experience of hostility from the southern seas. It is German but it is a "Swiss Army knife" super versatile. Boris Herrmann: "For my third trip around the world, I am delighted to embark on this boat with which I have already sailed this year. Our motivation is very clear: we go to break the record! The next adventure is a plus, premium competition. "
Roland Jourdain (FRA) 51 (replacing)
Great teams always have a luxury joker on the bench. Just in case … here "Bilou", which will leave if by chance one of the five crew members was stopped in extremis. As Francis Joyon and Bernard Stamm, he is among those who needs no introduction. Heroes of the Vendée Globe, Le Figaro, the Route du Rhum and large multihulls, his enormous experience reassures everyone. Roland Jourdain: "I love being on the water and go further: the Jules Verne Trophy is a challenge that attracts me. I sailed a lot in multi this year. I will be very hot if Francis needs me. And if not, I will endure the guys from Earth. "
Onshore router Marcel Van Triest (HOLL), 51
Since his den Balearic front of their computers day and night, Marcel Van Triest will be the IDEC SPORT weather guide. The "Flying Dutchman" is one of the best routers in the world. It's also a great sailor, who has already done five times round the world race! His small annotated drawings will be scrutinized by Francis Joyon several times a day. It will at once try to beat his own record (Banque Populaire in 45 days and a half, it was him) and try to beat his colleague and friend Jean-Yves Bernot will be the Spindrift router 2, the competitor of IDEC SPORT on the Jules Verne Trophy. His extensive knowledge of ice in the south will also be a valuable asset.
Francis Joyon (FRA), 59: the boss
One sailor in the world to have held together the four largest ocean records alone (World Tour, Atlantic, 24 hours, Discovery Route), Francis Joyon thus passes crewed mode for this attempt, on a boat which he had long dreamed. After receiving dozens of candidates, he chose his crew on two main criteria: versatility and motivation. Francis Joyon: "We will go in a spirit of commando. Team members must invest a lot and spend a lot of time on the deck. They know it all and that is precisely what attracts them in this challenge. "

With increasing workloads for IT data centers, managers should look to increase server virtualization. With density-optimized servers IT can produce greater processing capacity within the constraints of the physical footprint and the energy capacity.
HP's new ProLiant DL560 Gen8 rack server and BL660c Gen8 server blade enable IT to deliver greater compute density and add more virtual machines per server at lower cost and without increasing power or physical footprint.
This whitepaper will explore these benefits of HP's ProLiant scale-up x86 server solutions:
- Confidently handle demanding workloads
- Balanced scaling
- Do more with less effort and lower costs

UK Continues Its War On Innovation And The Public, At The Urging Of The Major Labels
from the cluelessness-in-power dept
Gerry Sutcliffe MP said that he believed that "millions of complaints [to Google] have not been dealt with", a point underlined by John Leech MP who recalled "the complacent attitude taken by [Google's] representatives to the whole issue, as though it had nothing to do with them and was not their problem."Of course, it's hogwash that the complaints "have not been dealt with." Google has shown time and time again that when it receives valid complaints, it takes down the links to that content within hours, despite receiving so many requests. Most other search engines take much, much longer. Second, the whole 50 million links thing is a total red herring. If the sites are illegal, as Sutcliffe claims, then there should be lawsuits against them to take those sites down. But the problem is that the sites generally, have not been found to be illegal. And, many of the sites are used for all sorts of legitimate offerings as well. Yet, Sutcliffe and BPI seem to think there's a magic wand that can be waved to determine what's legitimate and what's not.
[....] "At some time, this Government must have a proper look at the almost monopoly status of this huge, multinational, non-UK business and ask whether it is good for our content industries. I have a sneaking feeling that it is not," Sutcliffe said.
"I have seen the evidence from the British Phonographic Industry. It sent 50 million notices to Google asking it to take down links to illegal — I emphasize, illegal—sites. Google should not be doing that. What on earth is going on if it receives 50 million requests to take down links to illegal sites?
"It is time to call in the Competition Commission: we cannot continue to allow Google to be the gateway to content industries when they do them so much damage."
Even more troubling, however, were the comments from Mike Weatherly, who is now David Cameron's "Intellectual Property advisor," but who in the past worked for both the legacy recording and movie industries.
"Ultimately, we need to consider withdrawing internet rights from lawbreakers, along with imposing fines and, as a last resort, custodial sentences," he told the debate.Yes, even as countries are backing away from the insane move of cutting off internet access -- a form of punishment that has been shown not to work -- he wants to go even further, and put those people in jail. When another politician tried to say that individuals in their bedrooms are different from companies setting up file sharing offerings, Weatherly made it clear that he meant that even those downloading in their bedrooms should face jail if they keep downloading.
"My point was that, when we get the education right and people understand that stealing intellectual property is wrong, and when the industry has alternative downloading models, if we exhaust fines and other means of stopping persons downloading illegally, we must consider some sort of custodial sentence for persistent offenders and people who operate on a commercial scale,"That's the old entertainment industry we've grown to know so well. No matter how many times they ratchet up the punishment and find that it doesn't slow infringement, they just think that if they keep cranking up that dial, it'll work next time. It's why the US passed 15 different anti-piracy bills in the course of 30 years, after none of them actually worked. Perhaps, next time, they should try to offer the death penalty for copying. Except that won't work either.
Maybe, just maybe, rather than trying to punish everyone, they should focus on trying to make things convenient and worth buying. Just a suggestion.
