@@@ In the pair of victories, Jones [url=http://www.fepem35.com/private/italien_trikot_2014_wm_343552.html]italien trikot 2014 wm[/url] soared to new heights, averaging 25.5 points, on an all the more impressive 71% from the field, to go along with 9 rebounds per contest. For his latest efforts, Jones is being recongized as our Top Prospect of the Week for March 15th through March 21st. Jones has terrific ball-handling skills for a player his size, making it easier for him to beat opposing defenders off the dribble and/or drive to the basket. He has decent enough range, and on the flip side, knows how to use his body down low on the defensive end. Just last month, our buddy Ryan Blake from further highlighted Jones' progression from college and most recent success on the D-League level.

@@@ CENTRALIA, Wash. (AP) -- The Lewis County sheriff's office says a pizza delivery driver reports he was spritzed in the face with bear spray in what was believed [url=http://www.yannicklabbe-aupaveduroi.com/img/new_england_football_jersey_2014_523524.html]new england football jersey 2014[/url] to have been an unsuccessful robbery attempt.Sheriff's Chief Deputy Stacy Brown says the 44-year-old Sahara Pizza driver was trying to deliver a pizza Tuesday in Centralia, Washington, and was approaching the order address when a man stepped into the road. The driver slowed to talk to the man and check the delivery address, only to hear the stranger say, "Sorry, I have to do this" and start spraying the driver in the face with bear spray.Brown says the pizza driver reports he knocked the can out of the man's hand and the man ran off.The driver began chasing the attacker with his vehicle, then saw him jump into an older blue vehicle and drive off, heading the wrong way on a one-way street.Brown says the pizza driver didn't need medical treatment.

@@@ Actress Angelina Jolie has undergone surgery to remove her ovaries and Fallopian tubes after doctors detected possible signs of cancer earlier this month. Jolie, 39, described the surgery in published in Tuesday's New York Times. She wrote an [url=http://www.elkacoif.fr/photos/italie_maillot_2013_443021.html]italie maillot 2013[/url] account of her preventative double mastectomy for the same publication two years ago.ADVERTISEMENTADVERTISEMENT Jolie writes that she had been planning to have her latest surgery for several months. Two weeks ago, she got a call from her doctor, who told her that blood tests had revealed "a number of inflammatory markers that are elevated, and taken together they could be a sign of early cancer." An examination by Jolie's surgeon found nothing concerning, but the actress says she still had the option of undergoing the procedure and chose to do so. After the surgery, she learned that she had a small benign tumor on one ovary, but no signs of cancer. Jolie underwent the double mastectomy two years ago after a blood test revealed that she carried a gene mutation that gave her an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer. At the time, Jolie revealed that she had lost her mother, grandmother, and aunt to the disease. More on this... "It is not possible to remove all risk, and the fact is I remain prone to cancer," Jolie writes. She says her most recent surgery was "a less complex surgery than the mastectomy, but its effects are more severe." "Regardless of the hormone replacements I上ハ taking, I am now in menopause," Jolie writes near the end of her piece. "I will not be able to have any more children, and I expect some physical changes. But I feel at ease with whatever will come, not because I am strong but because this is a part of life. It is nothing to be feared."
Two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash has taken a lot of criticism after joining the Los Angeles Lakers back in the summer of 2012. Nash was expected to come in and be a vital piece to the championship puzzle for the Lakers alongside Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard.
With Nash playing a total of 65 games in three years with the Lakers, the fans have ripped him apart for not retiring early and forfeiting money the team could ve used to improve the roster. Although Nash takes the bulk of the blame, the Lakers brass actually asked him to stick around this year rather than retiring so they could try to trade his contract, according to :
The Lakers asked Nash not to announce anything, according to team sources. They hoped they could trade Nash s $9.7 million salary, not only an expiring contract, but also a giant coupon for another club to take and immediately save real dollars via insurance, to get a building block for the Lakers future.
Obviously, the Lakers were unable to move Nash s deal before the NBA trade deadline last month and as a result will pay the veteran guard what he is owed. An unfortunate move for a franchise that has struggled to get back on track after going all out to build a contender a few years ago.
Although the Nash deal didn t work out as planned, the future may be bright in Los Angeles at the point guard position. Rookie Jordan Clarkson has turned out to be a steal for the Lakers and has apparently been getting plenty of advise from Nash along the way.
Along with Clarkson making huge strides in his first season in Los Angeles, the Lakers may make a splash in free agency this season to further bolster the backcourt. A high draft pick might also be on the horizon with promising young players like Emmanuel Mudiay, Jahlil Okafor and D Angelo Russell potentially there for the taking.

We struggled to get into our offense, get organized, a lot of turnovers in that quarter and some tough shots where we didn't move the ball. We had very few clean looks. You have to credit their defense. Wade came to the rescue, scoring a layup with 1:03 remaining that put Miami ahead 87-85. After a Middleton turnover, Wade a split a pair of free throws. The missed proved costly. It allowed the Bucks to remain in striking distance. then made the first of two free throws. After missing the second, a scramble ensued, with the ball landing in the hands of Middleton. We'll see how we respond, Wade said. We know it's a very important game [against the ]. It's going to be a tough. They're playing very well. We got to try to get over this one a little fast. It hurts. Tough loss, but there's nothing we can do about it.

@@@ This is not the first time Twitter has pulled the plug on access to their graph, and it probably won be the last time... So the question becomes, how do you keep from being the next Meerkat? This month should have been the coming out party for Meerkat. For weeks their video-sharing app had been spreading like wildfire, with positive reviews from the press and a rapidly growing user base.
Part of the rapidly growing audience was due to the app well thought out connection to Twitter graph, making it easier to quickly connect to people they already followed. And all this action was rolling right into SXSW, the interactive industry [url=http://www.cybele-benodet.com/js/bvb_trikot_mit_namen_241213.html]bvb trikot mit namen[/url] biggest get together.
And then, right before the conference started, the bomb went off. Well, two bombs, to be precise. The first was the announcement that Twitter had actually bought Meerkat competitor Periscope months ago, much to many people surprise.
There was barely enough time for this to digest before the second, bigger bomb went off: Twitter cut Meerkat off from its social graph.
Now, this may not seem like a big thing, but for Meerkat it was sucker punch. The importance of being tied to Twitter graph is that it meant when you installed the app, you immediately saw all of your follows who already had the app. This also meant that every time one of your follows fired off a clip via Meerkat, you got a notification.
Oh, and new Meerkat users also log in viawitter.
This is not the first time Twitter has pulled the plug on access to their graph, and it probably won be the last time. And of course we all know what happened to Zynga after they fell off the Facebook bandwagon. So the question becomes, how do you keep from being the next Meerkat?
As a strategic branding agency, we value both sides of our house equally. We have some of the most experienced designers in consumer electronics, but we also have strategists who have launched hundreds of products into dozens of markets and retailers.
The reason for the deep dive on the strategy side is to understand all the moving parts of our client, their market, and their competition before we start punching out logos, identity and packaging.
The first step is what is known as a 淪WOT?analysis. I thought I would share this with you in the aftermath of Meerkat. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. It establishes the foundation for all the strategy, and although we use it for branding purposes, it works equally well for taking the temperature of a strategic relationship, or whether to enter one in the first place.
Strengths: What are you strong at? Part of being a successful company is understanding what you do well, and letting others do what they do well. If you have a strength covered already, you don need to double down with a partnership or relationship.
Weaknesses: On the other hand, what are your competitors doing better than you? What mountains can you not climb, either because of internal resources or time? In this case, finding that perfect strategic relationship could be the cost-effective fix.
Opportunities: Is there another audience segment you can move into? Are there other product lines you can introduce that will get you there or move you into a different margin segment of the market? A new distribution or content partner may fit in perfectly. As long as relying on them doesn turn them into?
Threats: And now, where the rubber hits the road. This is the one that makes people squirm into little balls because it the 渋ceberg question.?What the worst that could happen? Well, quite a lot actually. A big competitor like Google or Microsoft can come barreling into the market and run you over. The market could turn to a new solution or technology. Or a partner could go south on you.
Which yes, brings us back to Meerkat. Coat-tailing on a bigger company brand and footprint is a tactic as old as the hills. You can accelerate yourself into the market, gain audience and spend a fraction of the time and money doing it.
However, we also file this under a threat because you are taking a shortcut with your branding and leaning on the equity earned by someone else. And it a shortcut for your business, placing your fate in someone else hands.聽It like sticking an engine in your go-kart. Sure you powered up that hill ahead of everyone else, but what happens when the engine conks out?
Last week the engine conked out on Meerkat. Now they have to build the rest of their kart while the market bears down on them.
So the next time you consider your brand or that partner, SWOT before you act. With companies, as with branding, sometimes a shortcut doesn get you there faster, but instead leaves you even further behind in the race.

@@@ The big league spring training roster slimmed down to 42 players today. The Rockies announced that they have optioned [url=http://www.ytutanflamenca.com/private/camiseta_nueva_del_sevilla_2012_402344.html]camiseta nueva del sevilla 2012[/url] three players and reassigned nine others to minor league camp. The three players on the 40 man roster the team optioned are Ben Paulsen, Chad Bettis, and Chris Rusin. Each player represents depth at his respective position. Paulsen, who gets most of his reps at first base, never had a great shot of making the team, as lefty Justin Morneau and righty Wilin Rosario have the cold corner covered. The Rockies have been stretching Bettis out as a starting pitcher in the hope that he can be called upon if injuries stack atop one another and other options are exhausted. Rusin will provide bullpen depth.

Eastern hit the game-winning shot with 0.4 seconds to play to knock off WSU. It was a mixed game for WSU. Lia Galdeira once again led the way, scoring 31 points on 23 shots. Despite Galdeira's effort, WSU couldn't get much going for the majority of the game. They got off to a slow start in the second half and EWU built out a healthy lead. WSU rallied back, however, and even took a lead with less than a minute to play. Galdeira hit a free throw to knot it up at 65. That set up the final possession for EWU. The Eagles ran the clock down and Jade Redmon made a layout with 0.4 to play to end WSU's season.

This is why HBO's deal with Apple in the US, and only in the US so far, is so important. There the Game of Thrones producer (and home of The Sopranos, Deadwood, Sex and the City and most of the best TV of the last decade or so) will this year offer to sell its content directly to viewers. Apple negotiated that exclusive deal for themselves but only for the first three months. After that Americans who want their HBO shows but don't have a pay TV subscription, can still have them. Directly from HBO. It's the future, the very near future. And it's gonna be a hell of lot better than the rubbish deal viewers were offered in the past. But it won't be perfect. If you subscribed to everything, you could end up paying even more than you do now, certainly for a basic pay TV package. Possibly even more than the price of Foxtel's premium services. Will people pay? Will you? I will, because I make my living off intellectual property and could not live with the hypocrisy of stealing other people's work. But Australians are renowned pirates of TV shows and movies, and Queenslanders in particular are reluctant to pay their way. I was shown some research this morning about the willingness of consumers to pay for TV content and Queenslanders were significant outliers. Only West Australians could challenge them for their reluctance to pay for the shows they watch. Nobody is quite sure why. Perhaps we are especially discerning customers, put off by years of being fed overpriced garbage by the incumbent pay TV operator. Perhaps we just like to spend more time out of doors? It's a genuine mystery that all of the streaming operators are nutting over. But, if you'll excuse me, I have some TV to catch up on.

@@@ Getty Image<br> It was reported last [url=http://vaninyhandbag.com/private/camiseta_verde_real_madrid_cristiano_550104.html]camiseta verde real madrid cristiano[/url] week that Darren Sharper was preparing to accept a plea deal that would resolve the rape charges he faces in four states. Now that some of those deals are being announced, it s becoming increasingly clear that Sharper is going to end up serving less than a decade in prison for his crimes. On Monday, Sharper reached a plea deal with Nevada and Arizona authorities. The Nevada deal is while the Arizona deal is (albeit with credit for 391 days already served). According to TMZ, Sharper got a 20-year sentence in California, though he and gets credit for two years already served. His plea with Louisiana is expected to come next month, however, it s being reported that Sharper s pleas in all four states are part of a global plea agreement that will allow the former safety to serve his terms concurrently. Combining these charges into a global deal certainly makes life easier for those in the court system, though avoiding the inconvenience of having to try Sharper in four separate courts hardly seems worth such a reduction in time served. And don t forget that Sharper somehow escaped rape charges in Florida because . Overall, it seems like authorities are sacrificing a lot just to get this matter done with, which is a very callous message to send to rape victims. The deal isn t finalized and, as it s been noted, of it happening. But with several states apparently already taking the deal, the chance of it getting blocked is just a faint hope at this point. <br> Nothing has been confirmed, but it appears all of his sentences will run concurrently and Sharper could be out in under 9 years.

@@@ Apple's MacBook series has been making the headlines especially following the announcement of the 12-inch line and other features like the Force Touch trackpad. The clickless wonder feature is something to behold [url=http://www.epicerielabocca.com/private/soccer_training_shirts_australia_520353.html]soccer training shirts australia[/url] on the MacBook Pro while new insights suggest that it may be the start of Apple's venture into the hybrid community.
Tim Cook once said about notebook-tablet hybrids: "But the problem is that products are about trade-offs, and you begin to make trade-offs to the point where what you have left at the end of the day doesn't please anyone."
Yet the company's recent undertakings prove that it might considering the hybrid arena after. quoted the executive saying: "You two guys (Mossberg and Swisher) are wearing watches. If we had a room full of 10 to 20 year olds and we said everyone stand up that has a watch on, I'm not sure anyone would stand up. I don't see it. When you see what kids are wearing 上ハ? Their watch is this (waving an iPhone in the air)." Then the Apple Watch was announced.
However, what makes the recent line of MacBook and possibly upcoming lines of MacBook different is that Apple does not want the hybird to simply appear like the hybrid. According to previous analyses, Apple will succeed in this arena because it does not try to turn the laptop into a hybrid. It presents a tablet with laptop-like features thus the duality of its nature.
Looking at the new 12-inch Retina and now the upcoming MacBook Pro, the devices seem to be hinting at the coming changes to come. The clickless nature of the Force Touch trackpad also makes the line more affordable. The redesigned chassis makes it possible for Apple to play with the components without losing its touch. According to AppleInsider, people should expect Apple to leverage the features of its Force Click making way for new generations of computers. New MacBook editions should start shipping this April.

Police say the driver made a U-turn, drove right past the helpless victim, leaving her on the street, and continued to drive recklessly around the USC campus.

Felicia said. Just fess up, come in, take responsibility for what you did. The SUV had paper plates at the time of the hit-and-run, so police are looking for information through witnesses.

@@@ Under existing rules, teams are allowed 10 interchanges per match. However if a player leaves the field for a concussion test, it is deemed a free interchange. If the player under the concussion cloud passes the SCAT test and is able to return to the field within 15 minutes, the team is then granted another free interchange to allow him to return to the field. There is [url=http://www.majetmin.com/js/arsenal_t_shirt_myntra_333400.html]arsenal t shirt myntra[/url] a suggestion that some club trainers are rushing to the aid of a player who has suffered a head knock to advise them to stay down depending on the position of the player and the time of the match. Clubs have been told the NRL are investigating all possible loopholes involved with the concussion test system, however there is an element that relies on clubs operating in good faith. One leading club official said it was important for the NRL to crack down on any potential for a club to take advantage of a player's welfare to gain extra interchanges. It seems clear to me the number of concussions in the game and the game has taken the right steps to protect players, an NRL club official said. With any organised sport, there is potential of someone taking advantage of those rules, that's one thing the game needs to look at and make sure they don't let happen. The NRL said they are monitoring all concussion-related incidents. In regard to how the clubs use the interchange, we monitor all concussion cases to ensure there is no abuse, a NRL spokesperson said. Clearly sanctions are in place if there are any breaches. Given the sensitive nature of the issue, players and officials aren't willing to come out and point the finger at rival clubs and accuse them of rorting the system. The NRL have handed multiple breach notices to clubs who haven't followed the rules in regard to the management of concussed players since the system was introduced last year. The NRL are also investigating three separate issues involving the Parramatta Eels in relation to Isaac De Gois, Nathan Peats and Will Hopoate all returning to the field after concussion tests in the opening three rounds of the season. Fairfax Media understands the NRL is extremely concerned about the decision to allow Peats to return. An NRL spokesman confirmed earlier in the week that there would be a full review of the Peats concussion incident . Manly will also come under the spotlight after their delay in taking a dazed Brayden Wiliame from the field on Monday night. These incidents come as the NRL continues to investigate South Sydney's judgment in allowing halfback Adam Reynolds to come back on after a head knock in round two.

Gerald R. McDermott/ November 19, 2014 You are a new Christian. You want to learn all you can about the Bible, for you know it is the Word of God, and somewhere you heard that you can know God only to the extent that you know his Word. You know a woman down the street who has walked with God for more than 60 years and has studied Scripture all that time. She has read commentaries, enjoyed attending churches within different denominations, and discussed the deep things of God with other mature believers and pastors.
You consider reading Scripture with her, to glean her wisdom. But you choose to read the Bible for yourself by yourself. You don t visit the woman because you don t want her beliefs to influence your own reading. And you want to listen to the Holy Spirit yourself, so you can get to the purity of God s message untainted by outside influence.
Some Christians, and not just new believers among them, take this me and God approach to reading Scripture. They have learned from Matthew 15 not to be like the Pharisees, whom Jesus said exalted human tradition over God s Word. They also try to heed Paul s warning not to succumb to philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition (Col. 2:8, ESV used throughout). They have concluded, therefore, that Scripture teaches that church tradition and all the perspectives and human-derived interpretations that it carries with it should not color our reading of God s Word.
Is that what the Bible itself teaches?
Why Tradition Is Good Paul commended the Corinthians for maintain[ing] the traditions even as I delivered them to you (1 Cor. 11:2).

Last season, Jennings ran 66.8 percent and in 2013 65.7 percent of his routes from the slot, Of course the caveat with someone like Jennings is always the cost, but it sounds like Jennings could be a fit if the Jaguars are interested and the price is right. Given the fact that Caldwell has specifically said he wants a slot receiver, it makes a lot more sense.
@@@ Apple has been consistently offering improved cameras on its iPhones. The cameras on the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus are lauded for its high quality photography. Since Apple has filed a new patent, It seems that the future iDevices will be featuring a true zoom lens directly attached to the body along with [url=http://www.chocolaterie-dousset.com/log/maillot_psg_2011_junior_440500.html]maillot psg 2011 junior[/url] support for better optical image stabilisation (OIS).
As stated on , in order to incorporate the new zoom lens on the device, Apple will be making use of a camera module that is designed in L-shape. In most of the camera modules that are available on the today上ハ smartphones, the sensor is placed outwards. However, in the L-shaped module, the light first travels through a polyhedron glass piece which is shaped like a pyramid that has a reflecting platform on its bottom.
It makes the light pass through the L-shaped module where it meets the zoom lens. There is a light splitter present on the backside of the lens that divides the incident light into three colours while shooting. The three colours are received individually by three different sensors.
As far as optical image stabilisation feature is concerned, if the reflecting platform present on the backside of the polyhedron glass piece includes a folding mirror, the reflecting component would move around and instead of the sensor, it will deal with the camera shakes while shooting photos or videos.
The iPhone 6 Plus features an OIS enabled 8 MP. In order to generate stabilisation, the device relies on its A8 processor, gyroscope and the M8 motion coprocessor. However, the newer camera will use the folding mirror will be moved by means of a powered actuator to produce image stabilisation, states Patently Apple
The new camera module may arrive on the forthcoming iDevices such as iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and so on. Patently Apple claims that it may be also made available on non-portable devices like PCs and TV monitors. Phone Arena claims that the camera feature will not arrive this year.
The that iPhone 7 is expected to arrive in 2016. Will it feature the new true zoom lens camera? Do let us know your thoughts by adding comments.

@@@ A state panel tasked with recommending a new set of standards for science instruction in Iowa schools on Tuesday decided to move forward with the Next Generation Science Standards as the basis for its work. The Next [url=http://www.marquis-mo.com/private/england_rugby_trikot_022340.html]england rugby trikot[/url] Generation standards were developed by education and science experts from 26 states, including Iowa. Teachers and administrators they would be an upgrade over the current Iowa Core standards because they focus more on problem-solving, critical thinking and overarching concepts. We want our kids to be able to plan and carry out investigations to test ideas, test solutions, answer questions that they have, said Karla Ries, the Cedar Rapids Community School District s director of instructional services. Those are the pieces that take the standards to the next level. The state s Tuesday decided to use the Next Generation standards as a starting point for its discussion. The group, made up of teachers, administrators and science professionals, is considering editing the Next Generation documents before it makes a final recommendation to the Iowa Board of Education. One issue is whether middle-school standards should be divided by grade or grouped together, said Brad Niebling, an Iowa Core consultant for the Iowa Department of Education. The Next Generation documents have one set of standards for grades six through eight, Niebling said, and the panel is considering whether to create separate standards for each grade. It also will consider changing the individual standards, Niebling said, including those related to evolution and climate change. The Next Generation science standards have been met with political opposition in some states, in some cases related to worries about local control of curriculum. In Wyoming, legislators last year blocked funding to implement the standards over concerns about climate change instruction. They have been less controversial in Iowa. Seven representatives in the Iowa House last month introduced a bill to block the standards, but it hasn t made it out of a subcommittee. Niebling said the group will discuss individual standards in more detail at its next meeting, scheduled for April 14. Teachers have said they re careful about how they approach politically sensitive topics, but they don t believe the standards force them to teach anything. The panel Tuesday reviewed public input from four forums and an online survey conducted last month. Once the group makes a final recommendation, the state Board of Education will vote on the set of science standards to be used by Iowa schools. The board will receive an update on the standards review process at its meeting Thursday.
@@@ Lourenco Goncalves, president of a U.S.-based mining company趺Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., has warned that Australia could face an anti-competition probe in the future for the way [url=http://projekt.com/images/camiseta_del_real_madrid_entrenamiento_042543.html]camiseta del real madrid entrenamiento[/url] it had manipulated the prices of steel-making ingredient iron ore in the world market.
He claimed Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton were on a campaign to drench China with tens of millions of tonnes of its Australian ore in a bid to discourage local competitors. Goncalves further claimed in the industry conference that the two mining giants were being aided by the Reserve Bank of Australia, saying the latter worked on the local currency to help the companies.
Since September 2014, the Australian dollar has shed 17 percent of its value against USD. Prices of benchmark iron ore for immediate delivery in China was last trading at USD 57.70 a tonne, down 1.4 per cent.
Goncalves said the market was made to believe that Chinese producers will go out of business should prices of iron ore continue to go down. Apparently this wasn上ハ焦セ the case, he stressed. Rising supply has pushed the prices of the steelmaking ingredient to drop to historic lows. But analysts forecast prices could turn around in 2015.
Rio Tinto and BHP along with Brazil's Vale, despite the lowered prices, continued to ship to China. Goncalves said they would need to justify why they continued to increase output despite the fall. "That would be a difficult point if one day Australia has to defend that in the World Trade Organisation," he said, noting that in the past 13 months, 上ハust by the three companies, an amount of more or less $50 billion EBITDA was destroyed."
Cliffs is Australia上ハ fifth biggest iron ore export business. It also owns coal and iron ore mines in North America. But the dramatic fall in ore prices has forced it to abandon the Australian iron ore business. It has placed for sale in the market its lone mine in Australia, the Koolyanobbing iron ore mine. The company said the mine has enough iron ore good for next four to five years.

A triple by Agnieszka Bibrzycka pulled Fener within 2, 57-59 with over a minute left in regulation. A miss by Yilmaz with only 12 seconds to go gave Fener one last crack at stealing the game but Birsel Vardarli Dimirmen turned the ball over, allowing Gala to escape.
Jelena Dubljevic paced Gala with 20 points and 8 rebounds while Yilmaz added 14. Tina Charles led Fener with 14 points and 13 boards.
USK Prague 72, CB Avenida 43 ZVVZ USK Prague pounced on the absence of Shay Murphy to demolish Perfumerias Avenida at home and advance to the Final Four.
A stark contrast from a toe-to-toe encounter Tuesday, USK Prague never trailed Friday night, dominating from the opening tip.
It was still a manageable deficit for Perfumerias to start the fourth quarter (35-49), but USK Prague launched a 13-0 blast to increase the margin to an insurmountable 62-37.
Sonja Petrovic led the home team with 16 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals while Alena Hanusova and Danielle Robinson combined for 29 points.
Tango Bourges 64, Dynamo Kursk 62 Tango Bourges won't roll over and die just yet after edging Dynamo Kursk in front of 3,000 people at the Palais des Sports du Prado to tie the series. It was a back-and-forth affair that was not decided until the final buzzer, although the French side was able to pull off the crucial victory.
A basket by Celine Dumerc pushed Tango Bourges' lead up to 5, 64-59 with only 53 seconds left, before Nneka Ogwumike responded with a triple to cut the deficit down to 2.
Epiphanny Prince then secured a defensive board after two misses from Tango Bourges, but her lay-up with only 2 seconds left failed to hit the mark.
Endene Miyem led all scorers with 19 points while Helena Ciak had 14 points, 17 rebounds, and 2 blocked shots for the French team. Ogwumike had 16 points and 11 rebounds for Dynamo but Seimone Augustus was limited to only 12 points on 6-for-18 shooting.

@@@ You can put in exactly how much your TV and cellphone bills are and see exactly how much you'll get in [savings], Scott said. The average consumer spending $100 per month for cable would [url=http://movilshopcr.com/img/camiseta_colombia_2014_manga_larga_502255.html]camiseta colombia 2014 manga larga[/url] save about $43 over 12 months under Scott's plan. Those spending $125 per month for cellphone service would save $54 in a year. Scott has already purchased television ads aimed at persuading lawmakers to pass his cuts, but this week marks his first public, in-person lobbying. Other parts of Scott's plan include eliminating the sales tax on college textbooks, making permanent a tax break for manufacturing-equipment purchases that ends in 2017 and increasing the corporate-income-tax exemption from $50,000 to $75,000. Scott spoke an hour after House leaders released their own tax-cut package, replete with their own slogan, No Tax Is Safe. The package totals $690 million, including Scott's cable- and phone-tax cut and his plan to eliminate sales taxes on college textbooks. But the House plan also cuts taxes on gun-club memberships, defense contractors hiring Florida subcontractors, businesses investing in research and aviation fuel for flight school. Returning military members would be able to bring back vehicles purchased overseas without a sales tax; the property-tax exemption for widows and disabled people would be increased; and more tax cuts for farm equipment would be added as well. Also, the sales tax on commercial rent for businesses would be trimmed, and taxes on school concession stands would be eliminated. A three-day sales-tax holiday for back-to-school items also is in the plan. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, said the House proposal is not only larger but would bring more targeted economic development than Scott's plan. When we looked at those options, they were more attractive than other options that didn't provide such a clear return on investment, Gaetz said. Scott's corporate-income and manufacturing tax cuts are not included in the House plan. Gaetz said that was because the manufacturing tax is in effect for two more years, so the Legislature has plenty of time to eliminate it permanently. The ultimate size of the tax cuts is far from certain. The House and Senate budgets are more than $4 billion apart, mainly because the Senate includes a plan to expand under the and an alternative plan for the Low Income Pool, a Medicaid program providing funds for health care for low-income or uninsured patients. The LIP program is scheduled to expire June 30. Senate leaders have already warned the size of Scott's tax cut may not be feasible. That may be a bridge too far; however, I'm still very hopeful of having a very large cut to return to Floridians, said Sen. Dorothy Hukill, R-Port Orange. Hukill is heading the Senate's tax-cut efforts. Separate bills to install a tax-cut holiday for small businesses the Saturday after Thanksgiving and trim the commercial-rents tax both of which are included in the House plan passed through her committee Monday. or 850-222-5564 Copyright 2015,

@@@ A rights advocacy group, the Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth (ERA/FOEN) took to the streets of Lagos on Tuesday to condemn plans by the Lagos State Government [url=http://www.osteopathe-sylvain-guyard.com/fonts/dfb_trikot_2012_grü_;n_khedira_543453.html]dfb trikot 2012 gr斤拷n khedira[/url] and the World Bank to privatise water resources in the state.
In a demonstration that lasted for over four hours, advocates who trekked through Obafemi Awolowo Way in Ikeja to the Governor s office in Alausa under sweltering conditions demanded a reversal of the plan.<br> ERA/FOEN, in collaboration with Corporate Accountability International (CAI), the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services (AUPCTRE) and Public Service International (PSI), also demanded a halt to the planned privatisation of Lagos water resources.
At the governor s office, the group dropped a letter, which gave clarity to their demands, for the state Governor, Babatunde Fashola.
Director, Corporate Campaigns, ERA/FOEN, Akinbode Oluwafemi told THISDAY after the walk: What we are asking for is clear: we reject privatisation of water in any form, whether you call it PPP (Public Private Partnership) or whatever, we maintain that water is not a commodity to be sold. We don t want our people to be used as dollar symbols. Water is a right, and Lagosians deserve to get it.
Akinbode also noted that privatisation has failed in other cities, like Manila in the Philippines, and Nagpur in India, where it has been implemented. It is failing in these cities. We don t want the lives of our people to be downplayed because of profit. We say no to privatisation.
Since 1979, the Lagos State Government has obtained loans from the World Bank, French government, and international donor agencies to fund water supply schemes in the city. But those loans have not translated into universal access to water for Lagosians.
In recent years, however, reports have emerged that the World Bank s private arm, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) is in discussion with the Lagos State Government regarding designs for a Public Private Partnership water privatisation scheme.
We are surprised the Lagos State Government is coming out with privatisation, the Secretary of AUPCTRE told THISDAY after the walk. The alternative, in solving the water problem, is not to transfer the burden to the citizens through privatisation. The problem is poor management of resources. They have shown incompetence. If Holloway (the Managing Director of Lagos Water Corporation (LWC)) cannot manage the available resources well, he should step aside. We are condemning this privatisation.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Lagos State chapter, Idowu Adelakun, also told THISDAY that the unavailability of clean water in most part of the states was due to mismanagement. The solution is to overhaul the management, he said. Holloway has been there for 10 years, and if he cannot work out a solution without privatising LWC, he should go and be replaced with somebody more competent. <br> Adelakun pointed out that most people employed in LWC don t even know anything about water, which leads to grave ineffectiveness in the line of duty.
However, Shayo Holloway, the LWC boss, has debunked the idea that the government was trying to sell its water assets, in a recent report.
He claimed LWC was only seeking to partner the private sector for accelerated development of water infrastructure to meet the state s current water demand, which presently stands at 540 million gallons per day, for a population of over 21 million.

Now we have some answers. First up, before all that, was the latest word on that . Expect 18 hours of "general use" according to Cook. Basically, as assumed/feared, you'll be charging this once a day. On a plus note, there's a magnetic charger that'll make connecting it a little bit more satisfying than fiddling with a USB cable and cradle. Cook also reminded us that the Sport edition starts at $349 or $399 depending on size (38mm or 42mm). If you want the regular Watch (not the Sport or ), that'll start at a weighty $549, going up to an eye-watering $1,049 if go wild with the top configuration (there are many, many design options to choose from). This, incidentally, is for the smaller version. If you want the 42mm version, that's an extra $50 again. Not put off by the price? Pre-orders will open soon, with the timepiece to be available in store starting April 24th. Impatient and rich?

@@@ Given the circumstances--pain, loss, lack of momentum--we're all but forced to ask, "At what point is enough, enough? When do you look at these injuries and ask injured [url=http://www.aideaulogis-50.com/img/achat_maillot_de_foot_allemagne_423124.html]achat maillot de foot allemagne[/url] players to shut it down instead of sucking it up?"
We might be reaching that point now.
None of us knows the medical conditions of Portland's players. We get status reports but lack the prognoses necessary to weigh ramifications. Far be it from me, or anyone here, to take the place of doctors, agents, team officials, or the players themselves. Ultimately they get to make the call, we don't.
But how many times can you hear the sentence, " x-rays came out negative" before you want those x-rays to stop altogether? They may be termed precautionary, but if the chances of further damage--perhaps permanent damage--were zero, we wouldn't need the x-rays in the first place. Every time a defender's arm swipes down when Aldridge is holding the ball, time freezes. Every time that x-ray machine clicks we hold our breath, hoping to expel it in a sigh of relief and not a cry of frustration.
Anything that strikes at LaMarcus Aldridge strikes at the foundation of this era of Blazers Basketball. Put all the shooters, defenders, and role players around him you want, this team goes nowhere significant without #12. A major retooling and a few years under Damian Lillard's belt might change that story, but those won't happen soon. This season will end far before Aldridge's influence over this team does. Which is more important?
We could also ask whether the Blazers can contend for a title, or even a conference championship, without Matthews. If you believe they can, how about with Batum hurt and slumping? What if Kaman has to sit? Any two of these factors going wrong probably disqualifies them regardless of Aldridge's status. And Matthews' injury is in the books already.
We want our warriors (lower case) to fight to the end, but we also have to measure what they're fighting for. A first- or second-round exit is nice, but is it worth gambling health for?
Even if we can't make concrete judgments about the medical conditions of these players, there's no harm in demarcating the line at which the sacrifice isn't worth it anymore. Watching the team play over the last couple weeks, watching the injuries mount as they've done so, I'm ready to say that any risk of further injury to Aldridge is too much risk for me. He delayed surgery on the premise of a special season. When Matthews went down, that premise changed. If Aldridge reconsidered--if we didn't have to undergo even one more x-ray test--I wouldn't be upset. Nor would I be upset if Batum took time off or if Kaman rested until fully healed. If the Blazers dropped to the 7th or 8th spot as a result and had to take their chances, well, their chances from the 4th spot don't look that much greater. They might get by the first round, but after that the conference is a Cuisinart that a less-than-healthy Blazers lineup isn't equipped to handle.
I want to open up this question to you, our readers, as well. At what point are you willing to prioritize health--short- or long-term--above everything else, including finishing with the best possible record this season? What conditions, if any, would make you say, "Enough"? Have we already reached that point for you? If not, what else would you need to see? Or do you think the Blazers should gut it out for three weeks and hope for a post-season resurgence? Is there a happy compromise between the two?

@@@ 上ハウレo instead of succumbing to the body-shaming, sexualised and objectifying lingerie on the market, [url=http://www.osteopathe-sylvain-guyard.com/css/dortmund_trikot_replica_233342.html]dortmund trikot replica[/url] I used my frustration to start my own brand, Neon Moon, with the support of The Prince上ハ Trust.上ハ焦ラ?After being accepted on to the charity's year-long enterprise program, Rachi received mentorship and professional advice for free to develop her product. In the brand's promotional imagery, the two models certainly seem empowered lounging around the house in Neon Moon underwear.
The underwear sets aren't underwired or padded and are made with anti-bacterial, soft bamboo fibre The women look smiling and healthy and sport natural bodies, rather than catwalk models' ultra-slimline shape. Rachi named each of the underwear styles with 'Francophile sounding words, calling them: Coucou, Bof, Tac-Tac and Non!. She said: 'They are really vibrant and fun words to pronounce, which works well with the vibrant colours of the bras and knickers.' The entrepreneur launched a Kickstarter campaign for Neon Moon, which ends on 10 April, and has already exceeded the original 5,000 target, with 165 backers.

@@@ A months-long panel of doctors, pot regulators and edible-marijuana makers failed to agree last year on how to make those foods clearly identifiable when out of the wrapper. A stamp or marking may work for chocolates or candies, but not [url=http://www.gourmaleo.com/wc-logs/camiseta_de_universidad_de_chile_2011_211120.html]camiseta de universidad de chile 2011[/url] marijuana-infused liquids, sauces or bulk foods such as loose granola. We re trying to give (marijuana regulators) the flexibility to deal with the unique character of each individual edible, Hill said. But there will be feisty opposition to any suggestion that not all forms of edible pot need to have a distinct look. Some popular Colorado marijuana manufacturers simply buy pre-made treats and spray them with cannabis-infused oils, while others make candies or treats that could be confused for treats attractive to children. The least we can do is let consumers know there s marijuana in a product. It s a basic public health and safety concern, said Gina Carbone of the group Smart Colorado, which lobbies for policies to keep legal pot away from minors. The sponsor of last year s law said he ll resist any changes. People need to know what they re putting in their bodies, whether it s a marijuana cookie or an Oreo cookie. You should be able to look at something and know what you re putting in your body, said Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont. Singer vowed to suggest an amendment if the Senate bill doesn t go far enough. Marijuana products outside their packaging still need to look like marijuana products, he said.

Marcum: Let s call it a Romeo Special gut call. Francona and Mickey (and Antonetti in the offseason) have spent an inordinate amount of time talking about how they really need another veteran in the rotation to not only take the innings load, but ensure that the staff knows how to best properly keep their bodies and minds in order through the long season.
Floyd was their pick (agreed he was a lottery ticket), but Marcum was their long play from last year. Marcum s work ethic and knowledge have always been raved about. He s the type of veteran you want working with the youngsters.
Now, couple that with his accuracy on pitches this spring. He has had such great placement all spring. It s noticeable. He doesn t have his velocity or movement back yet, so I could be way off base. But, he seems exactly like the SP5 veteran who can wind up having a big year that every team seems to want/need.
note: if we do go Marcum, then it s likely that his IP gets topped out at some point and we need Salazar or McAllister to take over at some point anyway.

Some medical marijuana patients need far more plants to supply enough cannabis oil for their treatments, attorney Warren Edson said. And he said dispensaries can't always accommodate their needs, making collectives a better option. Dispensaries also are costlier for patients.Dan Rowland, the spokesman for the city's marijuana policy office, says the hard 36-plant limit was picked because it mirrors state rules allowing caregivers to grow six plants each for five patients and themselves.But Edson suggested the city regulate the collectives rather than apply such a severe restriction. "Providing patients and consumers with commercially zoned lots, with proper build-out and security, would seem to both meet the city's concerns as well as allow the consumer, be it medicinal or recreational, to fulfill their own needs," Edson said.City officials, however, say they can't regulate activity that isn't allowed under state laws implementing the voter-passed amendments, beyond following the plant limits for caregivers.Attendees Monday included the family of Coltyn Turner, a 15-year-old with severe Crohn's disease.<br><br><br><br> Font Resize

And sometimes the noise. Combining Lou Reed's skills honed as a staff songwriter at Pickwick Records, the possibilities of John Cale's time exploring drones with La Monte Young and the austere, nearly cymbal-less drumming of Maureen Tucker, The Velvet Underground Nico became a singular and slow-selling cornerstone in an alternative unfolding of rock history. Traces of the album that launched a thousand bands can be found in Reed's contemporaries like David Bowie and Iggy Pop, as well as successive generations of snotty aesthetes from proto-punks, punks, post-punks and art-rockers from Jonathan Richman and Patti Smith, to R.E.M. to modern indie rock. Mixing viola chaos with Bo Diddley beats and the odd song that could be played at a wedding, The Velvet Underground Nico linked high art aspirations with rock roll tenderness and discovered a new continent in between.
@@@ The title doesn't do Nick Groke's profile of justice. Sandwiched between a physical description of Diaz and a word about his stuff is an overview of the state of affairs between Venezuela and the [url=http://www.rockpocketgames.com/img/camiseta_ecuador_original_231224.html]camiseta ecuador original[/url] United States. An expression of this tension is in the closing baseball academies in Venezuela and the difficulty of scouts to even enter the country. Groke states that "Venezuela could become the new Cuba." If by this he means a completely broken relationship and the closing of the path that ballplayers such as Diaz, Carlos Gonzalez and Jhoulys Chacin have travelled, the consequences will be felt most by those individuals and their families. One of the consequences of the U.S. embargo against Cuba was that it left Cuban ballplayers in the United States adrift and forced them to make decisions nobody should have to make: Do I stay here and try to fulfill my professional ambitions as an athlete, or do I return home to my family?
This is a fun experiment. Parker Fleming, a fan, is going to follow the Rockies this year as if they were his team. He'll be recording his thoughts for Rockies Zingers. I expect this will result in some engaging thoughts about fandom, and what I expect would be a somewhat uncomfortable immersive experience. It will be interesting to follow Parker throughout the season.

Jones has terrific ball-handling skills for a player his size, making it easier for him to beat opposing defenders off the dribble and/or drive to the basket. He has decent enough range, and on the flip side, knows how to use his body down low on the defensive end.

Actress Angelina Jolie has undergone surgery to remove her ovaries and Fallopian tubes after doctors detected possible signs of cancer earlier this month.
Jolie, 39, described the surgery in published in Tuesday's New York Times. She wrote an [url=http://www.elkacoif.fr/photos/italie_maillot_2013_443021.html]italie maillot 2013[/url]
account of her preventative double mastectomy for the same publication two years ago.ADVERTISEMENTADVERTISEMENT
Jolie writes that she had been planning to have her latest surgery for several months. Two weeks ago, she got a call from her doctor, who told her that blood tests had revealed "a number of inflammatory markers that are elevated, and taken together they could be a sign of early cancer."
An examination by Jolie's surgeon found nothing concerning, but the actress says she still had the option of undergoing the procedure and chose to do so. After the surgery, she learned that she had a small benign tumor on one ovary, but no signs of cancer.
Jolie underwent the double mastectomy two years ago after a blood test revealed that she carried a gene mutation that gave her an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer. At the time, Jolie revealed that she had lost her mother, grandmother, and aunt to the disease. More on this...
"It is not possible to remove all risk, and the fact is I remain prone to cancer," Jolie writes. She says her most recent surgery was "a less complex surgery than the mastectomy, but its effects are more severe."
"Regardless of the hormone replacements I上ハ taking, I am now in menopause," Jolie writes near the end of her piece. "I will not be able to have any more children, and I expect some physical changes. But I feel at ease with whatever will come, not because I am strong but because this is a part of life. It is nothing to be feared."

Two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash has taken a lot of criticism after joining the Los Angeles Lakers back in the summer of 2012. Nash was expected to come in and be a vital piece to the championship puzzle for the Lakers alongside Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard.
Unfortunately, things didn t exactly go as planned [url=http://www.flex-time-rennes.com/photos/maillot_de_foot_du_mexique_452535.html]maillot de foot du mexique[/url]
with Nash suffering an injury that would linger for the rest of his career in his second regular season game in purple and gold.
With Nash playing a total of 65 games in three years with the Lakers, the fans have ripped him apart for not retiring early and forfeiting money the team could ve used to improve the roster. Although Nash takes the bulk of the blame, the Lakers brass actually asked him to stick around this year rather than retiring so they could try to trade his contract, according to :
The Lakers asked Nash not to announce anything, according to team sources. They hoped they could trade Nash s $9.7 million salary, not only an expiring contract, but also a giant coupon for another club to take and immediately save real dollars via insurance, to get a building block for the Lakers future.
Obviously, the Lakers were unable to move Nash s deal before the NBA trade deadline last month and as a result will pay the veteran guard what he is owed. An unfortunate move for a franchise that has struggled to get back on track after going all out to build a contender a few years ago.
Although the Nash deal didn t work out as planned, the future may be bright in Los Angeles at the point guard position. Rookie Jordan Clarkson has turned out to be a steal for the Lakers and has apparently been getting plenty of advise from Nash along the way.
Along with Clarkson making huge strides in his first season in Los Angeles, the Lakers may make a splash in free agency this season to further bolster the backcourt. A high draft pick might also be on the horizon with promising young players like Emmanuel Mudiay, Jahlil Okafor and D Angelo Russell potentially there for the taking.

The SAT prep book used one of Swift's lyrics (as well as lyrics from Katy Perry, Whitney Houston and Lady Gaga) as examples of bad grammar "in real life."<br>
There was one problem though - they got Swift's lyrics wrong.<br>
One Swiftie caught the mistaken lyric that read "Somebody tells you they love you, you got to believe 'em" from the song "Fifteen."<br>
(Photo : Tumblr) "The Princeton Review" printed incorrect Taylor Swift lyrics in their SAT prep book.
The Swift lyrics were really supposed to read: "Somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them."

When a fan posted a picture of the misprint on Tumblr, Swift saw and immediately called Princeton out.

This is not the first time Twitter has pulled the plug on access to their graph, and it probably won be the last time... So the question becomes, how do you keep from being the next Meerkat?
This month should have been the coming out party for Meerkat. For weeks their video-sharing app had been spreading like wildfire, with positive reviews from the press and a rapidly growing user base.
Part of the rapidly growing audience was due to the app well thought out connection to Twitter graph, making it easier to quickly connect to people they already followed. And all this action was rolling right into SXSW, the interactive industry [url=http://www.cybele-benodet.com/js/bvb_trikot_mit_namen_241213.html]bvb trikot mit namen[/url]
biggest get together.
And then, right before the conference started, the bomb went off. Well, two bombs, to be precise. The first was the announcement that Twitter had actually bought Meerkat competitor Periscope months ago, much to many people surprise.
There was barely enough time for this to digest before the second, bigger bomb went off: Twitter cut Meerkat off from its social graph.
Now, this may not seem like a big thing, but for Meerkat it was sucker punch. The importance of being tied to Twitter graph is that it meant when you installed the app, you immediately saw all of your follows who already had the app. This also meant that every time one of your follows fired off a clip via Meerkat, you got a notification.
Oh, and new Meerkat users also log in viawitter.
This is not the first time Twitter has pulled the plug on access to their graph, and it probably won be the last time. And of course we all know what happened to Zynga after they fell off the Facebook bandwagon. So the question becomes, how do you keep from being the next Meerkat?
As a strategic branding agency, we value both sides of our house equally. We have some of the most experienced designers in consumer electronics, but we also have strategists who have launched hundreds of products into dozens of markets and retailers.
The reason for the deep dive on the strategy side is to understand all the moving parts of our client, their market, and their competition before we start punching out logos, identity and packaging.
The first step is what is known as a 淪WOT?analysis. I thought I would share this with you in the aftermath of Meerkat. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. It establishes the foundation for all the strategy, and although we use it for branding purposes, it works equally well for taking the temperature of a strategic relationship, or whether to enter one in the first place.
Strengths: What are you strong at? Part of being a successful company is understanding what you do well, and letting others do what they do well. If you have a strength covered already, you don need to double down with a partnership or relationship.
Weaknesses: On the other hand, what are your competitors doing better than you? What mountains can you not climb, either because of internal resources or time? In this case, finding that perfect strategic relationship could be the cost-effective fix.
Opportunities: Is there another audience segment you can move into? Are there other product lines you can introduce that will get you there or move you into a different margin segment of the market? A new distribution or content partner may fit in perfectly. As long as relying on them doesn turn them into?
Threats: And now, where the rubber hits the road. This is the one that makes people squirm into little balls because it the 渋ceberg question.?What the worst that could happen? Well, quite a lot actually. A big competitor like Google or Microsoft can come barreling into the market and run you over. The market could turn to a new solution or technology. Or a partner could go south on you.
Which yes, brings us back to Meerkat. Coat-tailing on a bigger company brand and footprint is a tactic as old as the hills. You can accelerate yourself into the market, gain audience and spend a fraction of the time and money doing it.
However, we also file this under a threat because you are taking a shortcut with your branding and leaning on the equity earned by someone else. And it a shortcut for your business, placing your fate in someone else hands.聽It like sticking an engine in your go-kart. Sure you powered up that hill ahead of everyone else, but what happens when the engine conks out?
Last week the engine conked out on Meerkat. Now they have to build the rest of their kart while the market bears down on them.
So the next time you consider your brand or that partner, SWOT before you act. With companies, as with branding, sometimes a shortcut doesn get you there faster, but instead leaves you even further behind in the race.

The big league spring training roster slimmed down to 42 players today. The Rockies announced that they have optioned [url=http://www.ytutanflamenca.com/private/camiseta_nueva_del_sevilla_2012_402344.html]camiseta nueva del sevilla 2012[/url]
three players and reassigned nine others to minor league camp. The three players on the 40 man roster the team optioned are Ben Paulsen, Chad Bettis, and Chris Rusin.
Each player represents depth at his respective position. Paulsen, who gets most of his reps at first base, never had a great shot of making the team, as lefty Justin Morneau and righty Wilin Rosario have the cold corner covered. The Rockies have been stretching Bettis out as a starting pitcher in the hope that he can be called upon if injuries stack atop one another and other options are exhausted. Rusin will provide bullpen depth.

It was a mixed game for WSU. Lia Galdeira once again led the way, scoring 31 points on 23 shots. Despite Galdeira's effort, WSU couldn't get much going for the majority of the game. They got off to a slow start in the second half and EWU built out a healthy lead. WSU rallied back, however, and even took a lead with less than a minute to play. Galdeira hit a free throw to knot it up at 65. That set up the final possession for EWU. The Eagles ran the clock down and Jade Redmon made a layout with 0.4 to play to end WSU's season.

Foxtel will be wetting the bed this morning. They do have their own [url=http://www.gravure44-glm.com/img/adidas_real_madrid_home_mini_kit_13_14_040010.html]adidas real madrid home mini kit 13 14[/url]
Netflix-like streaming service, Presto, a standard-def only offering, for 10 bucks a month, but they'd really really prefer their previously captive audience keep paying them a hundred plus dollars a month for a hundred plus channels of utter crap.
This is why HBO's deal with Apple in the US, and only in the US so far, is so important. There the Game of Thrones producer (and home of The Sopranos, Deadwood, Sex and the City and most of the best TV of the last decade or so) will this year offer to sell its content directly to viewers. Apple negotiated that exclusive deal for themselves but only for the first three months. After that Americans who want their HBO shows but don't have a pay TV subscription, can still have them. Directly from HBO.
It's the future, the very near future. And it's gonna be a hell of lot better than the rubbish deal viewers were offered in the past.
But it won't be perfect. If you subscribed to everything, you could end up paying even more than you do now, certainly for a basic pay TV package. Possibly even more than the price of Foxtel's premium services.
Will people pay? Will you? I will, because I make my living off intellectual property and could not live with the hypocrisy of stealing other people's work. But Australians are renowned pirates of TV shows and movies, and Queenslanders in particular are reluctant to pay their way. I was shown some research this morning about the willingness of consumers to pay for TV content and Queenslanders were significant outliers. Only West Australians could challenge them for their reluctance to pay for the shows they watch.
Nobody is quite sure why. Perhaps we are especially discerning customers, put off by years of being fed overpriced garbage by the incumbent pay TV operator. Perhaps we just like to spend more time out of doors? It's a genuine mystery that all of the streaming operators are nutting over.
But, if you'll excuse me, I have some TV to catch up on.

It was reported last [url=http://vaninyhandbag.com/private/camiseta_verde_real_madrid_cristiano_550104.html]camiseta verde real madrid cristiano[/url]
week that Darren Sharper was preparing to accept a plea deal that would resolve the rape charges he faces in four states. Now that some of those deals are being announced, it s becoming increasingly clear that Sharper is going to end up serving less than a decade in prison for his crimes.
On Monday, Sharper reached a plea deal with Nevada and Arizona authorities. The Nevada deal is while the Arizona deal is (albeit with credit for 391 days already served). According to TMZ, Sharper got a 20-year sentence in California, though he and gets credit for two years already served. His plea with Louisiana is expected to come next month, however, it s being reported that Sharper s pleas in all four states are part of a global plea agreement that will allow the former safety to serve his terms concurrently.
Combining these charges into a global deal certainly makes life easier for those in the court system, though avoiding the inconvenience of having to try Sharper in four separate courts hardly seems worth such a reduction in time served. And don t forget that Sharper somehow escaped rape charges in Florida because . Overall, it seems like authorities are sacrificing a lot just to get this matter done with, which is a very callous message to send to rape victims.
The deal isn t finalized and, as it s been noted, of it happening. But with several states apparently already taking the deal, the chance of it getting blocked is just a faint hope at this point.
<br>
Nothing has been confirmed, but it appears all of his sentences will run concurrently and Sharper could be out in under 9 years.

Apple's MacBook series has been making the headlines especially following the announcement of the 12-inch line and other features like the Force Touch trackpad. The clickless wonder feature is something to behold [url=http://www.epicerielabocca.com/private/soccer_training_shirts_australia_520353.html]soccer training shirts australia[/url]
on the MacBook Pro while new insights suggest that it may be the start of Apple's venture into the hybrid community.
Tim Cook once said about notebook-tablet hybrids: "But the problem is that products are about trade-offs, and you begin to make trade-offs to the point where what you have left at the end of the day doesn't please anyone."
Yet the company's recent undertakings prove that it might considering the hybrid arena after. quoted the executive saying: "You two guys (Mossberg and Swisher) are wearing watches. If we had a room full of 10 to 20 year olds and we said everyone stand up that has a watch on, I'm not sure anyone would stand up. I don't see it. When you see what kids are wearing 上ハ? Their watch is this (waving an iPhone in the air)." Then the Apple Watch was announced.
However, what makes the recent line of MacBook and possibly upcoming lines of MacBook different is that Apple does not want the hybird to simply appear like the hybrid. According to previous analyses, Apple will succeed in this arena because it does not try to turn the laptop into a hybrid. It presents a tablet with laptop-like features thus the duality of its nature.
Looking at the new 12-inch Retina and now the upcoming MacBook Pro, the devices seem to be hinting at the coming changes to come. The clickless nature of the Force Touch trackpad also makes the line more affordable. The redesigned chassis makes it possible for Apple to play with the components without losing its touch. According to AppleInsider, people should expect Apple to leverage the features of its Force Click making way for new generations of computers. New MacBook editions should start shipping this April.

SOFIA data reveal warm dust (white) surviving inside a supernova remnant. The SNR Sgr A East cloud is traced in X-rays (blue). Radio emission (red) shows expanding shock waves colliding with surrounding interstellar clouds (green).
WHAT IS SOFIA?聽SOFIA is a heavily modified Boeing 747 Special Performance jetliner that carries a telescope with an effective diameter of 100 inches (2.5 meters) at altitudes of 39,000 to 45,000 feet (12 to 14 km).聽
SOFIA is a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center. The aircraft observatory is based at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center facility in Palmdale, California.聽
'Our observations reveal a particular cloud produced by a supernova explosion 10,000 years ago contains enough dust to make 7,000 Earths,' said Ryan Lau of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
Using NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), the team used SOFIA data to estimate the total mass of dust in the cloud from the intensity of its emission.聽
The research team, headed by Lau, used SOFIA's airborne telescope and the Faint Object InfraRed Camera for the SOFIA Telescope, FORCAST, to take detailed infrared images of an interstellar dust cloud known as Supernova Remnant Sagittarius A East, or SNR Sgr A East.
These findings are published in the March 19 online issue of Science magazine.聽
The investigation required measurements at long infrared wavelengths in order to peer through intervening interstellar clouds and detect the radiation emitted by the supernova dust.

Essendon opens its season in Sydney four days after the tribunal s finding, but Watson and coach James Hird both believe the club will be able to field its best 22 and will be ready to play.Watson said the lack of a conventional pre-season, including no practice matches for the 17 players serving provisional suspensions, would be an interesting test case when they returned to action.

UNIVERSITY PARK (CBSLA.com) 上ハ?The city is offering a reward to help solve a devastating hit-and-run that occurred near USC last week in [url=http://www.gourmaleo.com/images/camiseta_alternativa_uruguay_2013_410501.html]camiseta alternativa uruguay 2013[/url]
which an 86-year-old woman was struck and left on the road.
LA City Councilman Curren Price is set Thursday to announce a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the driver.
Barbara Summerfield remains hospitalized with two broken legs, cracked ribs, pelvis fractures and head injuries, while the suspect who struck her remains at large.
The event was captured on surveillance video, in which the driver of a silver Infinity SUV made a left turn onto Figueroa Street from Adams Boulevard on March 16, striking Summerfield, who was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk.
Police say the driver made a U-turn, drove right past the helpless victim, leaving her on the street, and continued to drive recklessly around the USC campus.
Summerfield s daughter, Felicia, has a message for the driver.
You hit my mother, and you didn t stop. How would you feel if someone hit someone you love, and left them in the middle of the street? Felicia said. Just fess up, come in, take responsibility for what you did.
The SUV had paper plates at the time of the hit-and-run, so police are looking for information through witnesses.
If you remember anything, please come forward. Please let the police know.
Anyone with information relating to the hit-and-run is urged to contact the LAPD South Traffic Division. Their website can be found .

"For seven years, there was a shortage of staff," said Tobias Read, CEO of staffing firm Swift Worldwide Resources, to Bloomberg. "Now for the first time, there's a surplus. Currently almost no one is hiring."<br>
Tens of thousands of workers of all types - drillers, commodities experts, safety inspectors, pipefitters, support staff, and many others - have pulled up their roots and headed to oil boomtowns where the pay was good. As the layoffs come, not only are they hit hard, but are likely far from friends, family, and any support network.<br>
Australia has been hit hard. , according to the Globe and Mail, where tar sands made expensive but available oil. Multiple companies in Calgary alone have announced significant staff reductions. Cutbacks are so severe that the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has reduced estimates of Canadian growth in 2015.<br>
The U.S. is hardly immune. According to Forbes, there have been nearly 59,000 layoffs by oil service companies. Manufacturing companies have cut 7,100 jobs.<br>
Beyond the problems the individuals and their families face is the potential impact on the U.S. economy. Not only do the layoffs mean less consumer spending, but the oil industry has represented one source of new jobs, only with good salaries, rather than the many low-paid service industry positions that have helped expand the number of jobs, but not people with much ready cash to spend.<br>

The first HP products with Bang and Olufsen audio will be coming this spring.
Hewlett-Packard is teaming up with Bang Olufsen to bring the Denmark company's audio expertise to HP's new personal computers, tablets and headphones.
Bang Olufsen replaces Beats as HP's long-time audio vendor, after Apple -- HP's competitor in PCs -- for $3 billion last year and opted to walk away from the partnership.
"We've certainly spent a lot of time [url=http://www.revisionsdesignstudio.com/log/Mitchell_and_Ness_San_Francisco_49ers_16_Joe_Montana_Authentic_Black_NFL_Jersey_001325.html]Mitchell and Ness San Francisco 49ers 16 Joe Montana Authentic Black NFL Jersey[/url]

I think certainly a lot of learnings both ways in that relationship," Mike Nash, an HP personal-computer and printing vice president, said on a call with reporters Tuesday, soon after the deal was announced. "The opportunity now is to take everything we already know and combine that with some new expertise ... as part of our partnership with Bang Olufsen."
The deal will allow HP -- the second-biggest PC maker worldwide after Lenovo -- to maintain a reputation with customers of focusing on audio quality for its high-end devices, thanks to its continued effort to partner with an audio firm. However, HP could still face more competition using audio as a differentiator for its computers and , as Apple could now tap Beats to bolster its position in audio, as well.
An Apple representative didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
The first HP personal computers with audio from Bang Olufsen and its sister brand, B O Play, will be available this spring, in time for the back-to-school season. The Bang Olufsen brand will appear on HP's Spectre, Omen, Envy and some other PCs. The B O Play brand will appear on HP Pavilion PCs, tablets and PC audio accessories, such as .
Despite Beats' well-known name, Nash said HP expects the change to the Bang Olufsen will be a positive for his company. "I think each of the companies bring different attributes to the situation," he said, adding that both are respected brands.
Beats, which makes speakers and headphones, has gained substantial attention since its founding in 2008, thanks to its famous founders, rapper Dr. Dre and music producer Jimmy Iovine, as well as its popularity with celebrities. Bang Olufsen was founded in 1925, with its video and audio technology used in TVs, , headphones and speakers. Asus, another leading PC maker, joined with Bang Olufsen in 2010 to produce a new , too.

Meanwhile, the potentially larger implication of the report is the Packers' apparent interest in adding another receiver. It suggests that there may be some concern with the wideouts currently on the roster, most likely those on the back end. Perhaps Abbrederis' recovery from his torn ACL hasn't progressed as quickly as hoped, or the coaches still hold reservations about the rawness of Janis. Whatever the case, the situation bears monitoring.
It also raises the possibility that a reconciliation with isn't as outlandish as some previously believed. Jennings, of course, is familiar with the Packers' offense from his seven years in Green Bay. And while some choose to deny it, his two years in Minnesota weren't terrible. He caught 127 passes for 1,546 yards and 10 touchdowns despite playing with a cavalcade of substandard quarterbacks and a rookie Teddy Bridgewater. Jennings could be useful to the Packers in a reserve role.

Under existing rules, teams are allowed 10 interchanges per match. However if a player leaves the field for a concussion test, it is deemed a free interchange.
If the player under the concussion cloud passes the SCAT test and is able to return to the field within 15 minutes, the team is then granted another free interchange to allow him to return to the field.
There is [url=http://www.majetmin.com/js/arsenal_t_shirt_myntra_333400.html]arsenal t shirt myntra[/url]
a suggestion that some club trainers are rushing to the aid of a player who has suffered a head knock to advise them to stay down depending on the position of the player and the time of the match.
Clubs have been told the NRL are investigating all possible loopholes involved with the concussion test system, however there is an element that relies on clubs operating in good faith.
One leading club official said it was important for the NRL to crack down on any potential for a club to take advantage of a player's welfare to gain extra interchanges.
It seems clear to me the number of concussions in the game and the game has taken the right steps to protect players, an NRL club official said.
With any organised sport, there is potential of someone taking advantage of those rules, that's one thing the game needs to look at and make sure they don't let happen.
The NRL said they are monitoring all concussion-related incidents.
In regard to how the clubs use the interchange, we monitor all concussion cases to ensure there is no abuse, a NRL spokesperson said. Clearly sanctions are in place if there are any breaches.
Given the sensitive nature of the issue, players and officials aren't willing to come out and point the finger at rival clubs and accuse them of rorting the system.
The NRL have handed multiple breach notices to clubs who haven't followed the rules in regard to the management of concussed players since the system was introduced last year.
The NRL are also investigating three separate issues involving the Parramatta Eels in relation to Isaac De Gois, Nathan Peats and Will Hopoate all returning to the field after concussion tests in the opening three rounds of the season.
Fairfax Media understands the NRL is extremely concerned about the decision to allow Peats to return.
An NRL spokesman confirmed earlier in the week that there would be a full review of the Peats concussion incident .
Manly will also come under the spotlight after their delay in taking a dazed Brayden Wiliame from the field on Monday night. These incidents come as the NRL continues to investigate South Sydney's judgment in allowing halfback Adam Reynolds to come back on after a head knock in round two.

Why You Can't Read Scripture AloneStudying the Bible in light of the Great Tradition.
Gerald R. McDermott/ November 19, 2014
You are a new Christian. You want to learn all you can about the Bible, for you know it is the Word of God, and somewhere you heard that you can know God only to the extent that you know his Word. You know a woman down the street who has walked with God for more than 60 years and has studied Scripture all that time. She has read commentaries, enjoyed attending churches within different denominations, and discussed the deep things of God with other mature believers and pastors.
You consider reading Scripture with her, to glean her wisdom. But you choose to read the Bible for yourself by yourself. You don t visit the woman because you don t want her beliefs to influence your own reading. And you want to listen to the Holy Spirit yourself, so you can get to the purity of God s message untainted by outside influence.
Some Christians, and not just new believers among them, take this me and God approach to reading Scripture. They have learned from Matthew 15 not to be like the Pharisees, whom Jesus said exalted human tradition over God s Word. They also try to heed Paul s warning not to succumb to philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition (Col. 2:8, ESV used throughout). They have concluded, therefore, that Scripture teaches that church tradition and all the perspectives and human-derived interpretations that it carries with it should not color our reading of God s Word.
Is that what the Bible itself teaches?
Why Tradition Is Good
Paul commended the Corinthians for maintain[ing] the traditions even as I delivered them to you (1 Cor. 11:2). He urged the Thessalonians to stand firm and hold to the traditions ...

The second tweet here from Jennings certainly sounds a lot like the Jaguars, doesn't it?
Jennings hasn't been officially linked to the team, nor have I heard any rumblings of interest from the Jaguars, but he has both played on the outside and in the slot position for both the Vikings and the Packers during his career. Last season, Jennings ran 66.8 percent and in 2013 65.7 percent of his routes from the slot,
Of course the caveat with someone like Jennings is always the cost, but it sounds like Jennings could be a fit if the Jaguars are interested and the price is right. Given the fact that Caldwell has specifically said he wants a slot receiver, it makes a lot more sense.

Apple has been consistently offering improved cameras on its iPhones. The cameras on the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus are lauded for its high quality photography. Since Apple has filed a new patent, It seems that the future iDevices will be featuring a true zoom lens directly attached to the body along with [url=http://www.chocolaterie-dousset.com/log/maillot_psg_2011_junior_440500.html]maillot psg 2011 junior[/url]
support for better optical image stabilisation (OIS).
As stated on , in order to incorporate the new zoom lens on the device, Apple will be making use of a camera module that is designed in L-shape. In most of the camera modules that are available on the today上ハ smartphones, the sensor is placed outwards. However, in the L-shaped module, the light first travels through a polyhedron glass piece which is shaped like a pyramid that has a reflecting platform on its bottom.
It makes the light pass through the L-shaped module where it meets the zoom lens. There is a light splitter present on the backside of the lens that divides the incident light into three colours while shooting. The three colours are received individually by three different sensors.
As far as optical image stabilisation feature is concerned, if the reflecting platform present on the backside of the polyhedron glass piece includes a folding mirror, the reflecting component would move around and instead of the sensor, it will deal with the camera shakes while shooting photos or videos.
The iPhone 6 Plus features an OIS enabled 8 MP. In order to generate stabilisation, the device relies on its A8 processor, gyroscope and the M8 motion coprocessor. However, the newer camera will use the folding mirror will be moved by means of a powered actuator to produce image stabilisation, states Patently Apple
The new camera module may arrive on the forthcoming iDevices such as iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and so on. Patently Apple claims that it may be also made available on non-portable devices like PCs and TV monitors. Phone Arena claims that the camera feature will not arrive this year.
The that iPhone 7 is expected to arrive in 2016. Will it feature the new true zoom lens camera? Do let us know your thoughts by adding comments.

Rachel Hollis has become a swimsuit role model.<br>
Over the weekend, Hollis proudly embraced the battle wounds from her pregnancies by in a bikini.趺
Courtesy of Rachel Hollis"I have stretch marks and I wear a bikini. I have a belly that's permanently flabby from carrying three giant babies and I wear a bikini. My belly button is saggy... (which is something I didn't even know was possible before!!) and I wear a bikini," she writes in the caption. "I [url=http://www.epicerielabocca.com/img/chelsea_fc_kit_2013_14_home_241233.html]chelsea fc kit 2013 14 home[/url]
wear a bikini because I'm proud of this body and every mark on it. Those marks prove that I was blessed enough to carry my babies and that flabby tummy means I worked hard to lose what weight I could."
The caption ends with a message to other moms: "Flaunt that body with pride!"趺
The photo has gone viral, racking up more than 10 million views and 325,000 likes on the Facebook site for her business, It also prompted thousands of comments, mainly from women empowered by Hollis' message. A few even posted their own belly-baring photos in response.
上ハt touches my heart that people are having this reaction to it,上ハ?Hollis told TODAY.com.
Hollis, 32, posted the photo Saturday from Cancun, where she tagged along with her husband on a business trip and a rare getaway without their three kids, ages 8, 6 and 2. The photo was taken one week after Hollis had completed her first marathon.
上ハ thought, it上ハ not going to get better than this. You ran the 26 miles, and I had been training for six months. My body is never going to be smaller than it is right now, so if there上ハ ever time to show off your belly, this is probably it,上ハ?she recalled.
Courtesy of Rachel Hollis Rachel Hollis after completing the Los Angeles marathon, her first ever. Hollis initially had her husband take a photo of her because the bikini top bore her initials, which she found amusing. She also features a monthly color theme on and March上ハ hue was orange, just like the bikini top. She instructed her husband to 上ハust take 100 photos上ハ?and they could pick one she liked 上ハ?but that didn上ハ焦セ happen.
上ハ had tried to take this posey, pretty shot, and I looked so awkward that it didn上ハ焦セ work. I started laughing, and that's when he happened to get that picture,上ハ?she said.趺
While she had some thoughts about cropping out her stomach, she quickly decided against it after realizing, "This looks pretty good.上ハ?Apparently, hundreds of thousands of other people agreed.
Hollis said even though she grew up 上ハ little chubby,上ハ?she never tried to lose weight until after she had children. She gained 45 pounds on her 5-foot-2 frame with her first pregnancy, and soon got pregnant again before losing her initial baby weight. Because she has been open about her life's struggles, including postpartum depression, she felt comfortable sharing her victories, too.
上ハ feel like I上ハ焦ソe worked so hard to lose the weight. Those marks are always going to be there. Without plastic surgery, there上ハ no way I上ハ getting rid of that extra skin. It is what it is,上ハ?she said. 上ハ had been working so hard training for this race and I felt so proud of my body. It上ハ never ever going to be like a Victoria上ハ Secret model, but I think I look good and my husband wants to make out with me, so I上ハ doing something right.上ハ?
Still, she said she was caught off guard and has cried from the overwhelming response to her photo, including one from Facebook user Samantha Bain.
"Wow, well done mamma! You look amazing. Perfect child bearing tummy. We shouldn't shy away for the sake of an imperfect tum. Gorgeous! Here [is] my imperfect tummy but from it I have a perfect daughter xxx," she wrote, attaching a photo of her own belly.<br>
Courtesy of Rachel Hollis Hollis, her husband and their three children. Although most of the comments have been from women, Hollis said men also have spoken up.趺
上ハhere were so many men who said, 上ハhenever I see such marks, I上ハ reminded of what she did for us,'" she said.趺
"Or a lot of guys who said, 'Just so you women know, we don上ハ焦セ even notice that in the photo. We just see a girl on a beach, so stop second-guessing yourself."

A state panel tasked with recommending a new set of standards for science instruction in Iowa schools on Tuesday decided to move forward with the Next Generation Science Standards as the basis for its work.
The Next [url=http://www.marquis-mo.com/private/england_rugby_trikot_022340.html]england rugby trikot[/url]
Generation standards were developed by education and science experts from 26 states, including Iowa. Teachers and administrators they would be an upgrade over the current Iowa Core standards because they focus more on problem-solving, critical thinking and overarching concepts.
We want our kids to be able to plan and carry out investigations to test ideas, test solutions, answer questions that they have, said Karla Ries, the Cedar Rapids Community School District s director of instructional services. Those are the pieces that take the standards to the next level.
The state s Tuesday decided to use the Next Generation standards as a starting point for its discussion. The group, made up of teachers, administrators and science professionals, is considering editing the Next Generation documents before it makes a final recommendation to the Iowa Board of Education.
One issue is whether middle-school standards should be divided by grade or grouped together, said Brad Niebling, an Iowa Core consultant for the Iowa Department of Education.
The Next Generation documents have one set of standards for grades six through eight, Niebling said, and the panel is considering whether to create separate standards for each grade.
It also will consider changing the individual standards, Niebling said, including those related to evolution and climate change.
The Next Generation science standards have been met with political opposition in some states, in some cases related to worries about local control of curriculum. In Wyoming, legislators last year blocked funding to implement the standards over concerns about climate change instruction.
They have been less controversial in Iowa. Seven representatives in the Iowa House last month introduced a bill to block the standards, but it hasn t made it out of a subcommittee.
Niebling said the group will discuss individual standards in more detail at its next meeting, scheduled for April 14.
Teachers have said they re careful about how they approach politically sensitive topics, but they don t believe the standards force them to teach anything.
The panel Tuesday reviewed public input from four forums and an online survey conducted last month.
Once the group makes a final recommendation, the state Board of Education will vote on the set of science standards to be used by Iowa schools. The board will receive an update on the standards review process at its meeting Thursday.

Lourenco Goncalves, president of a U.S.-based mining company趺Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., has warned that Australia could face an anti-competition probe in the future for the way [url=http://projekt.com/images/camiseta_del_real_madrid_entrenamiento_042543.html]camiseta del real madrid entrenamiento[/url]
it had manipulated the prices of steel-making ingredient iron ore in the world market.
He claimed Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton were on a campaign to drench China with tens of millions of tonnes of its Australian ore in a bid to discourage local competitors. Goncalves further claimed in the industry conference that the two mining giants were being aided by the Reserve Bank of Australia, saying the latter worked on the local currency to help the companies.
Since September 2014, the Australian dollar has shed 17 percent of its value against USD. Prices of benchmark iron ore for immediate delivery in China was last trading at USD 57.70 a tonne, down 1.4 per cent.
Goncalves said the market was made to believe that Chinese producers will go out of business should prices of iron ore continue to go down. Apparently this wasn上ハ焦セ the case, he stressed. Rising supply has pushed the prices of the steelmaking ingredient to drop to historic lows. But analysts forecast prices could turn around in 2015.
Rio Tinto and BHP along with Brazil's Vale, despite the lowered prices, continued to ship to China. Goncalves said they would need to justify why they continued to increase output despite the fall. "That would be a difficult point if one day Australia has to defend that in the World Trade Organisation," he said, noting that in the past 13 months, 上ハust by the three companies, an amount of more or less $50 billion EBITDA was destroyed."
Cliffs is Australia上ハ fifth biggest iron ore export business. It also owns coal and iron ore mines in North America. But the dramatic fall in ore prices has forced it to abandon the Australian iron ore business. It has placed for sale in the market its lone mine in Australia, the Koolyanobbing iron ore mine. The company said the mine has enough iron ore good for next four to five years.

1. DUKE: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25<br> <br>Who to watch: Guard Laken Tomlinson is an experienced, intelligent player who may be available in the second round. He was a four-year starter for Duke and was a first-team All-American by the Associated Press in 2014. CBS Sports has Tomlinson ranked as the No. 2 [url=http://www.salon-bambino.com/img/jersey_del_real_madrid_2013_025051.html]jersey del real madrid 2013[/url]
guard in this year's draft class behind South Carolina's A.J. Cann. Wide receiver Jamison Crowder will also have scout's attention. Crowder is one of the top slot receivers in this year's draft class and is expected to be available in the middle rounds. <br> <br>Also keep an eye on: OT Takoby Cofield, AB Anthony Boone, LB David Helton.
<br>
<br>2. KANSAS: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25<br> <br>Who to watch: Linebacker Ben Heeny may be slightly undersized at 6-0 and 230 pounds but he makes up for it in aggressiveness. NFL.com's Charles Davis listed Heeny on his defensive All-Underrated team, saying, "Heeney has a nose for the ball, and his production is off the charts. He can be a core special-teams player right away and will prove that he belongs."
<br>Also keep an eye on: CB JaCorey Shepherd, P Trevor Pardula, FB Jimmay Mundine, WR Nigel King. <br><br>
<br>3. HOBART: THURSDAY, MARCH 26<br> <br>Who to watch: There is just one player scouts are traveling to Hobart to see - offensive lineman Ali Marpet. Marpet was one of the most impressive linemen at the NFL Scouting Combine, running the fastest 40-yard dash (4.98 seconds) and recording the fifth-most repetitions on the bench press (30). This past spring, he was the first Division 3 player selected to play in the Senior Bowl. He's projected as one of the five-best guards in this year's draft class and could be selected as high as the second round. <br><br>
<br>4. UTAH: THURSDAY, MARCH 26<br> <br>Who to watch: Cornerback Eric Rowe is a big-bodied corner expected to be available in the third or fourth round. He was a four-year starter at Utah and missed just two games. In his 45 games, he intercepted three passes and recorded 216 tackles. An AFC Director of College Scouting told NFL.com, "He's a long-strider with limited deep speed, so I see him as a Tampa-2 guy or maybe fitting with a defense similar to Seattle's where he has a good free safety helping over the top."
<br>Also keep an eye on: G Jeremiah Poutasi, WR Dres Anderson, S Brian Blechen, G Junior Salt. <br><br>
<br>5. NEVADA: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25<br> <br>Who to watch: For a quarterback who's expected to be selected in the seventh round, Cody Fajardo has a lot of upside. Fajardo and Colin Kaepernick are the only FBS players to throw for 9,000 yards and run for 3,000 yards in a career. He's somewhat undersized at 6-1, but an accurate thrower. There is a drop-off among quarterbacks after Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston and, with a good workout, Fajardo could propel his name into the conversation as the No. 3 passer. <br> <br>Also keep an eye on: LB Brock Hekking, OT Kyle Roberts, CB Charles Garrett, WR Richy Turner. <br><br><br>

John Harbaugh probably knows Haloti Ngata better than any coach in the NFL, and he thinks the defensive tackle is a great addition for the Lions.PHOENIX -- John Harbaugh probably knows Haloti Ngata better than any coach in the NFL.
When he took over as head coach for the Baltimore Ravens in 2008, Ngata was entering [url=http://www.elkacoif.fr/photos/maillot_de_foot_france_2009_501351.html]maillot de foot france 2009[/url]
his third season in the NFL with the Ravens. In Harbaugh上ハ first season as head coach, Ngata was named to his first All-Pro team.
Ngata and Harbaugh (Photo: AP Images) 上ハ症瀉viously an iconic player for the Baltimore Ravens,上ハ?Harbaugh said at Tuesday上ハ AFC coaches breakfast at the NFL Annual Meetings.
上バヌifficult loss for us. He上ハ been a mainstay for us as a player and a leader and it上ハ going to be something we上ハe going to have to deal with and overcome.上ハ?
According to Harbaugh, Ngata上ハ $16 million salary cap number for the 2015 season forced the Ravens to trade their five-time All-Pro and Pro Bowler to the Detroit Lions right as free agency began. The Lions had to give up a fourth- and fifth-round selection in this year上ハ draft to get him. He counts $8.5 million on the Lions cap this season.
上バフreat addition for the Lions,上ハ?Harbaugh said. 上ハe上ハl make them a better team in every way.上ハ?
Ngata was predominately a run-stuffing nose tackle in the Ravens上ハ?3-4 defense, but Harbaugh said Ngata is so athletic and so versatile that he fits in any scheme, including the Lions上ハ?base 4-3.
上ハe plays those techniques. The three technique, shade on the nose, 2I, he plays all the same techniques,上ハ?he said. 上ハhere won上ハ焦セ be any problems for him.上ハ?
上ハe上ハ a good technique player, but he上ハ a great physical talent. He上ハ a big, fast, leverage, powerful guy. Nobody moves him out of there.上ハ?
That should help the Lions maintain one of the league上ハ best run-stopping defenses in the NFL.
Detroit became the ninth team in NFL history to finish the season allowing less than 70 yards rushing per game. In 16 games, the Lions allowed 69.3 rushing yards per game and finished with the ninth-best opponent rushing yards allowed per game average in NFL history.
上ハe上ハ going to be a great leader for a young team,上ハ?Harbaugh said. 上ハe上ハ going to help coach Caldwell and coach Austin. Obviously they know each other and they上ハl be on the same page. So, he上ハ a good fit for Detroit.上ハ?

Two teams are already in the Final Four of the EuroLeague Women while four more squads battle it out for the remaining two spots in the semi-final.
UMMC 86, Nadezhda 75
UMMC Ekaterinburg punched the first ticket to the EuroLeague Women semi-final after sweeping fellow Russian club Nadezhda Orenburg at the Orenburzhje Sport Hall.
UMMC used a huge surge in the third [url=http://www.marquis-mo.com/css/neues_heimtrikot_fc_schalke_04_011254.html]neues heimtrikot fc schalke 4[/url]
quarter where it outscored Nadezhda 27-11 to pull away and seal the win. The 2013 champions led by double-digits in the first quarter but Nadezhda fought back and closed the first half on a 25-13 note to take the lead 40-39.
That was when UMMC launched a 10-2 run in the third quarter behind 3 baskets from Candace Parker to snatch the lead for good.
Diana Taurasi led UMMC with 20 points, 7 assists, and 2 steals on 8-for-14 shooting. Four other players scored in double-digits for the squad. Nadezhda meanwhile was led by DeWanna Bonner's 23 points.
Galatasaray 59, Fenerbahce 57
Galatasaray Odeabank almost squandered a 10-point lead in the payoff period but survived against rival Fenerbahce at the Abdi Ipekci Arena to force a Game 3.
Gala led 59-49 on a Nevriye Yilmaz basket wth only 3:50 left but went scoreless for the rest of the match while Fener tried to score a massive upset.
A triple by Agnieszka Bibrzycka pulled Fener within 2, 57-59 with over a minute left in regulation. A miss by Yilmaz with only 12 seconds to go gave Fener one last crack at stealing the game but Birsel Vardarli Dimirmen turned the ball over, allowing Gala to escape.
Jelena Dubljevic paced Gala with 20 points and 8 rebounds while Yilmaz added 14. Tina Charles led Fener with 14 points and 13 boards.
USK Prague 72, CB Avenida 43
ZVVZ USK Prague pounced on the absence of Shay Murphy to demolish Perfumerias Avenida at home and advance to the Final Four.
A stark contrast from a toe-to-toe encounter Tuesday, USK Prague never trailed Friday night, dominating from the opening tip.
It was still a manageable deficit for Perfumerias to start the fourth quarter (35-49), but USK Prague launched a 13-0 blast to increase the margin to an insurmountable 62-37.
Sonja Petrovic led the home team with 16 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals while Alena Hanusova and Danielle Robinson combined for 29 points.
Tango Bourges 64, Dynamo Kursk 62
Tango Bourges won't roll over and die just yet after edging Dynamo Kursk in front of 3,000 people at the Palais des Sports du Prado to tie the series. It was a back-and-forth affair that was not decided until the final buzzer, although the French side was able to pull off the crucial victory.
A basket by Celine Dumerc pushed Tango Bourges' lead up to 5, 64-59 with only 53 seconds left, before Nneka Ogwumike responded with a triple to cut the deficit down to 2.
Epiphanny Prince then secured a defensive board after two misses from Tango Bourges, but her lay-up with only 2 seconds left failed to hit the mark.
Endene Miyem led all scorers with 19 points while Helena Ciak had 14 points, 17 rebounds, and 2 blocked shots for the French team. Ogwumike had 16 points and 11 rebounds for Dynamo but Seimone Augustus was limited to only 12 points on 6-for-18 shooting.

You can put in exactly how much your TV and cellphone bills are and see exactly how much you'll get in [savings], Scott said.
The average consumer spending $100 per month for cable would [url=http://movilshopcr.com/img/camiseta_colombia_2014_manga_larga_502255.html]camiseta colombia 2014 manga larga[/url]
save about $43 over 12 months under Scott's plan. Those spending $125 per month for cellphone service would save $54 in a year.
Scott has already purchased television ads aimed at persuading lawmakers to pass his cuts, but this week marks his first public, in-person lobbying.
Other parts of Scott's plan include eliminating the sales tax on college textbooks, making permanent a tax break for manufacturing-equipment purchases that ends in 2017 and increasing the corporate-income-tax exemption from $50,000 to $75,000.
Scott spoke an hour after House leaders released their own tax-cut package, replete with their own slogan, No Tax Is Safe. The package totals $690 million, including Scott's cable- and phone-tax cut and his plan to eliminate sales taxes on college textbooks.
But the House plan also cuts taxes on gun-club memberships, defense contractors hiring Florida subcontractors, businesses investing in research and aviation fuel for flight school. Returning military members would be able to bring back vehicles purchased overseas without a sales tax; the property-tax exemption for widows and disabled people would be increased; and more tax cuts for farm equipment would be added as well.
Also, the sales tax on commercial rent for businesses would be trimmed, and taxes on school concession stands would be eliminated.
A three-day sales-tax holiday for back-to-school items also is in the plan.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, said the House proposal is not only larger but would bring more targeted economic development than Scott's plan.
When we looked at those options, they were more attractive than other options that didn't provide such a clear return on investment, Gaetz said.
Scott's corporate-income and manufacturing tax cuts are not included in the House plan. Gaetz said that was because the manufacturing tax is in effect for two more years, so the Legislature has plenty of time to eliminate it permanently.
The ultimate size of the tax cuts is far from certain. The House and Senate budgets are more than $4 billion apart, mainly because the Senate includes a plan to expand under the and an alternative plan for the Low Income Pool, a Medicaid program providing funds for health care for low-income or uninsured patients. The LIP program is scheduled to expire June 30.
Senate leaders have already warned the size of Scott's tax cut may not be feasible.
That may be a bridge too far; however, I'm still very hopeful of having a very large cut to return to Floridians, said Sen. Dorothy Hukill, R-Port Orange.
Hukill is heading the Senate's tax-cut efforts. Separate bills to install a tax-cut holiday for small businesses the Saturday after Thanksgiving and trim the commercial-rents tax both of which are included in the House plan passed through her committee Monday.

and the World Bank to privatise water resources in the state.
In a demonstration that lasted for over four hours, advocates who trekked through Obafemi Awolowo Way in Ikeja to the Governor s office in Alausa under sweltering conditions demanded a reversal of the plan.<br>
ERA/FOEN, in collaboration with Corporate Accountability International (CAI), the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services (AUPCTRE) and Public Service International (PSI), also demanded a halt to the planned privatisation of Lagos water resources.
At the governor s office, the group dropped a letter, which gave clarity to their demands, for the state Governor, Babatunde Fashola.
Director, Corporate Campaigns, ERA/FOEN, Akinbode Oluwafemi told THISDAY after the walk: What we are asking for is clear: we reject privatisation of water in any form, whether you call it PPP (Public Private Partnership) or whatever, we maintain that water is not a commodity to be sold. We don t want our people to be used as dollar symbols. Water is a right, and Lagosians deserve to get it.
Akinbode also noted that privatisation has failed in other cities, like Manila in the Philippines, and Nagpur in India, where it has been implemented. It is failing in these cities. We don t want the lives of our people to be downplayed because of profit. We say no to privatisation.
Since 1979, the Lagos State Government has obtained loans from the World Bank, French government, and international donor agencies to fund water supply schemes in the city. But those loans have not translated into universal access to water for Lagosians.
In recent years, however, reports have emerged that the World Bank s private arm, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) is in discussion with the Lagos State Government regarding designs for a Public Private Partnership water privatisation scheme.
We are surprised the Lagos State Government is coming out with privatisation, the Secretary of AUPCTRE told THISDAY after the walk. The alternative, in solving the water problem, is not to transfer the burden to the citizens through privatisation. The problem is poor management of resources. They have shown incompetence. If Holloway (the Managing Director of Lagos Water Corporation (LWC)) cannot manage the available resources well, he should step aside. We are condemning this privatisation.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Lagos State chapter, Idowu Adelakun, also told THISDAY that the unavailability of clean water in most part of the states was due to mismanagement. The solution is to overhaul the management, he said. Holloway has been there for 10 years, and if he cannot work out a solution without privatising LWC, he should go and be replaced with somebody more competent. <br>
Adelakun pointed out that most people employed in LWC don t even know anything about water, which leads to grave ineffectiveness in the line of duty.
However, Shayo Holloway, the LWC boss, has debunked the idea that the government was trying to sell its water assets, in a recent report.
He claimed LWC was only seeking to partner the private sector for accelerated development of water infrastructure to meet the state s current water demand, which presently stands at 540 million gallons per day, for a population of over 21 million.

It's been six whole months since Tim Cook to the world. Here [url=http://movilshopcr.com/log/playera_juventus_rosa_precio_445114.html]playera juventus rosa precio[/url]
we are again. With good reason, though. Apple may have already officially introduced us to its first smartwatch, but there were still some big questions left unanswered. Today Apple gathered the press to give the Watch the launch event it always deserved (and, you know, tell us how much it'll cost and when we can buy it, what apps we can expect, etc.). Now we have some answers.
First up, before all that, was the latest word on that . Expect 18 hours of "general use" according to Cook. Basically, as assumed/feared, you'll be charging this once a day. On a plus note, there's a magnetic charger that'll make connecting it a little bit more satisfying than fiddling with a USB cable and cradle. Cook also reminded us that the Sport edition starts at $349 or $399 depending on size (38mm or 42mm). If you want the regular Watch (not the Sport or ), that'll start at a weighty $549, going up to an eye-watering $1,049 if go wild with the top configuration (there are many, many design options to choose from).
This, incidentally, is for the smaller version. If you want the 42mm version, that's an extra $50 again. Not put off by the price? Pre-orders will open soon, with the timepiece to be available in store starting April 24th. Impatient and rich? A few select people with deep, deep pockets can get their wrists inside the Watch Edition on April 10th .

In December 2005, Brancato tried to break into an apartment with Steven Armento, a low-level mobster and the father of his girlfriend, to steal Valium but NYPD officer Daniel Enchautegui heard glass break as they entered the building and confronted them.
While Enchautegui [url=http://www.marquis-mo.com/css/neymar_trikot_hose_250232.html]neymar trikot hose[/url]
waited for backup, a gun battle erupted and he was fatally shot in the chest.
Armento was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Brancato was found not guilty of murder but was convicted of robbery and sentenced to nine years in prison minus time served. He was released on December 31, 2013.
After leaving prison, he was given his second chance by William DeMeo, who wrote 'Back in the Day', and is also producing and starring in the movie.
'I know a lot of people were nervous about hiring someone who had a tainted past,' DeMeo told the Post. 'I could tell deep down in my heart that he changed. I wanted to give him a second chance.'

Brancato, who has been sharing behind-the-scene snaps on his Instagram page, first met DeMeo while they were both going for a role in the 2001 film, 'Boss of Bosses', which DeMeo ultimately secured.
DeMeo said that he called a friend in the NYPD to ask him whether he would be offended if he hired the ex-con, but the friend said it was no problem.

Not a trade school. Not a private or parochial school. Free, excellent, public school funded by the State with public tax money because we want all of our fellow citizens equipped to sustain themselves and contribute to our common good.
Everyone fit may be left to fly or flounder as adults, but everyone had better be getting a first class public education, the vote, and access, if needed, to government-funded food, shelter, and medical care until they are adults.

Given the circumstances--pain, loss, lack of momentum--we're all but forced to ask, "At what point is enough, enough? When do you look at these injuries and ask injured [url=http://www.aideaulogis-50.com/img/achat_maillot_de_foot_allemagne_423124.html]achat maillot de foot allemagne[/url]
players to shut it down instead of sucking it up?"
We might be reaching that point now.
None of us knows the medical conditions of Portland's players. We get status reports but lack the prognoses necessary to weigh ramifications. Far be it from me, or anyone here, to take the place of doctors, agents, team officials, or the players themselves. Ultimately they get to make the call, we don't.
But how many times can you hear the sentence, " x-rays came out negative" before you want those x-rays to stop altogether? They may be termed precautionary, but if the chances of further damage--perhaps permanent damage--were zero, we wouldn't need the x-rays in the first place. Every time a defender's arm swipes down when Aldridge is holding the ball, time freezes. Every time that x-ray machine clicks we hold our breath, hoping to expel it in a sigh of relief and not a cry of frustration.
Anything that strikes at LaMarcus Aldridge strikes at the foundation of this era of Blazers Basketball. Put all the shooters, defenders, and role players around him you want, this team goes nowhere significant without #12. A major retooling and a few years under Damian Lillard's belt might change that story, but those won't happen soon. This season will end far before Aldridge's influence over this team does. Which is more important?
We could also ask whether the Blazers can contend for a title, or even a conference championship, without Matthews. If you believe they can, how about with Batum hurt and slumping? What if Kaman has to sit? Any two of these factors going wrong probably disqualifies them regardless of Aldridge's status. And Matthews' injury is in the books already.
We want our warriors (lower case) to fight to the end, but we also have to measure what they're fighting for. A first- or second-round exit is nice, but is it worth gambling health for?
Even if we can't make concrete judgments about the medical conditions of these players, there's no harm in demarcating the line at which the sacrifice isn't worth it anymore. Watching the team play over the last couple weeks, watching the injuries mount as they've done so, I'm ready to say that any risk of further injury to Aldridge is too much risk for me. He delayed surgery on the premise of a special season. When Matthews went down, that premise changed. If Aldridge reconsidered--if we didn't have to undergo even one more x-ray test--I wouldn't be upset. Nor would I be upset if Batum took time off or if Kaman rested until fully healed. If the Blazers dropped to the 7th or 8th spot as a result and had to take their chances, well, their chances from the 4th spot don't look that much greater. They might get by the first round, but after that the conference is a Cuisinart that a less-than-healthy Blazers lineup isn't equipped to handle.
I want to open up this question to you, our readers, as well. At what point are you willing to prioritize health--short- or long-term--above everything else, including finishing with the best possible record this season? What conditions, if any, would make you say, "Enough"? Have we already reached that point for you? If not, what else would you need to see? Or do you think the Blazers should gut it out for three weeks and hope for a post-season resurgence? Is there a happy compromise between the two?

A months-long panel of doctors, pot regulators and edible-marijuana makers failed to agree last year on how to make those foods clearly identifiable when out of the wrapper. A stamp or marking may work for chocolates or candies, but not [url=http://www.gourmaleo.com/wc-logs/camiseta_de_universidad_de_chile_2011_211120.html]camiseta de universidad de chile 2011[/url]

We re trying to give (marijuana regulators) the flexibility to deal with the unique character of each individual edible, Hill said.
But there will be feisty opposition to any suggestion that not all forms of edible pot need to have a distinct look.
Some popular Colorado marijuana manufacturers simply buy pre-made treats and spray them with cannabis-infused oils, while others make candies or treats that could be confused for treats attractive to children.
The least we can do is let consumers know there s marijuana in a product. It s a basic public health and safety concern, said Gina Carbone of the group Smart Colorado, which lobbies for policies to keep legal pot away from minors.
The sponsor of last year s law said he ll resist any changes.
People need to know what they re putting in their bodies, whether it s a marijuana cookie or an Oreo cookie. You should be able to look at something and know what you re putting in your body, said Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont.
Singer vowed to suggest an amendment if the Senate bill doesn t go far enough. Marijuana products outside their packaging still need to look like marijuana products, he said.

Marcum: Let s call it a Romeo Special gut call.

Floyd was their pick (agreed he was a lottery ticket), but Marcum was their long play from last year. Marcum s work ethic and knowledge have always been raved about. He s the type of veteran you want working with the youngsters.
Now, couple that with his accuracy on pitches this spring. He has had such great placement all spring. It s noticeable. He doesn t have his velocity or movement back yet, so I could be way off base. But, he seems exactly like the SP5 veteran who can wind up having a big year that every team seems to want/need.
note: if we do go Marcum, then it s likely that his IP gets topped out at some point and we need Salazar or McAllister to take over at some point anyway.

Some medical marijuana patients need far more plants to supply enough cannabis oil for their treatments, attorney Warren Edson said. And he said dispensaries can't always accommodate their needs, making collectives a better option. Dispensaries also are costlier for patients.Dan Rowland, the spokesman for the city's marijuana policy office, says the hard 36-plant limit was picked because it mirrors state rules allowing caregivers to grow six plants each for five patients and themselves.But Edson suggested the city regulate the collectives rather than apply such a severe restriction. "Providing patients and consumers with commercially zoned lots, with proper build-out and security, would seem to both meet the city's concerns as well as allow the consumer, be it medicinal or recreational, to fulfill their own needs," Edson said.City officials, however, say they can't regulate activity that isn't allowed under state laws implementing the voter-passed amendments, beyond following the plant limits for caregivers.Attendees Monday included the family of Coltyn Turner, a 15-year-old with severe Crohn's disease.<br><br><br><br>

the most shocking aspect of the Velvet Underground's 1967 debut aren't its taboo-busting songs about hard drugs and hard sex, but the songs themselves. And sometimes the noise. Combining Lou Reed's skills honed as a staff songwriter at Pickwick Records, the possibilities of John Cale's time exploring drones with La Monte Young and the austere, nearly cymbal-less drumming of Maureen Tucker, The Velvet Underground Nico became a singular and slow-selling cornerstone in an alternative unfolding of rock history. Traces of the album that launched a thousand bands can be found in Reed's contemporaries like David Bowie and Iggy Pop, as well as successive generations of snotty aesthetes from proto-punks, punks, post-punks and art-rockers from Jonathan Richman and Patti Smith, to R.E.M. to modern indie rock. Mixing viola chaos with Bo Diddley beats and the odd song that could be played at a wedding, The Velvet Underground Nico linked high art aspirations with rock roll tenderness and discovered a new continent in between.

The title doesn't do Nick Groke's profile of justice. Sandwiched between a physical description of Diaz and a word about his stuff is an overview of the state of affairs between Venezuela and the [url=http://www.rockpocketgames.com/img/camiseta_ecuador_original_231224.html]camiseta ecuador original[/url]
United States. An expression of this tension is in the closing baseball academies in Venezuela and the difficulty of scouts to even enter the country. Groke states that "Venezuela could become the new Cuba." If by this he means a completely broken relationship and the closing of the path that ballplayers such as Diaz, Carlos Gonzalez and Jhoulys Chacin have travelled, the consequences will be felt most by those individuals and their families. One of the consequences of the U.S. embargo against Cuba was that it left Cuban ballplayers in the United States adrift and forced them to make decisions nobody should have to make: Do I stay here and try to fulfill my professional ambitions as an athlete, or do I return home to my family?
This is a fun experiment. Parker Fleming, a fan, is going to follow the Rockies this year as if they were his team. He'll be recording his thoughts for Rockies Zingers. I expect this will result in some engaging thoughts about fandom, and what I expect would be a somewhat uncomfortable immersive experience. It will be interesting to follow Parker throughout the season.

Despite a rapidly melting snow pack, the [url=http://gwcitychurch.com/img/camiseta_italia_voley_145400.html]camiseta italia voley[/url]
neighboring resorts remain open for business (趺for open lifts and runs).趺上ハ省トe just got four inches on Sunday night and we上ハe excited about the end of the season,上ハ?says resort spokesperson Michael趺Radlick. 上バヘquaw Valley is the capital of spring skiing, and we上ハe looking forward to keeping the snow in the best possible condition.上ハ?
Truckee local Jeremy Thomas skied at Squaw on Sunday. 上ハt is grim up there,上ハ?Thomas says. 上ハ症リs always, super fun to be skiing, but most of the mountain is melted off, and what is left is pretty patchy. Not much snow left.上ハ?
Thomas was happy about Sunday night上ハ snowfall but doesn上ハ焦セ think it上ハl make a huge difference. 上バヘquaw is reporting an additional four inches from this storm on the upper mountain,上ハ?he says, 上ハnd one inch on the lower mountain. It was mostly raining in Truckee today [Monday].
上ハhat probably won上ハ焦セ make much difference in our snowpack, as it is supposed to warm up again mid-week.上ハ?
Word on the street is that趺Squaw will try to stay open until April 12, but Thomas says, 上ハ find it hard to figure out how they would actually do that, as the snow is quickly disappearing.上ハ?
While Squaw and Alpine try to stretch out the ski season, many other resorts have shuttered. Homewood, Donner Ski Ranch, Badger Pass, Dodge Ridge, Mountain High, China Peak, Soda Springs, Mt. Baldy, Mount Shasta, and Tahoe Donner have all closed. Sierra-at-Tahoe is closed but will consider reopening if a significant storm hits.

is ready to one-up the game with its retina-scanning new smartphone. The Grand S3's front camera is capable of keeping prying eyes out of your device by making sure your eyes are the only ones allowed in.The phone's Eyeprint ID system checks out your peepers on video and looks for unique vein patterns to confirm they're actually yours. If there's no match, the device won't unlock. The authentication process is said to take about a second to complete.Eye-scanning aside, the Grand S3 has a respectable set of specs: a 5.5-in. 1080p display; a Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor with 3GB of RAM; and 16GB of internal space along with an SD card slot that supports up to 64GB of external storage. There's a 16-megapixel camera on the phone's back and an 8-megapixel camera on its front.The Grand S3 is launching first in China. ZTE says it'll reach more parts of the world later this year.
