Back ground: The incidence rate of vitamin D deficiency is increasing throughout the world in recent years, but the rate of vitamin D deficiency in Japan is unknown.
Aims: We measured the incidence rate of vitamin D deficiency in 12-year old children in Japan.
Methods: A total of 492 children (247 boys and 245 girls) from one Japanese community enrolled in this study. At age 12, 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) were measured in all children by using radioimmunoassay. The levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), albumin (Alb), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) were also measured in the subjects who shows low 25OHD level (≦20 ng/ml).
Results: 25OHD levels were significantly lower in girls (20.9±3.1 ng/ml) than in boys (22.2±3.3 ng/ml) (P<0.0001). The number of subjects who showed vitamin D deficiency (<20 mg/ml) were 74 (30.0%) in boys and 111 (45.3%) in girls and severe vitamin D deficiency (<15 ng/ml) were 3 (1.2%) in boys and 8 (3.3%) in girls. The levels of iPTH, Ca, P, Alb, ALP and FGF23 in subjects who showed vitamin D deficiency were 22.3±8.9 pg/ml (range 474 pg/ml), 9.5±0.4 mg/dl (8.310.7 mg/dl), 4.7±0.6 mg/dl (3.36.1 mg/dl), 4.6±0.3 g/dl (3.55.2 g/dl), 918.3±340.1 U/l (2001834 U/l) and 46.5±58.2 pg/ml (12740 pg/ml), respectively. Only one subject whose 25OHD level was 16 ng/ml showed some little higher levels of iPTH (74 pg/ml) and ALP (1484 IU/L), but normal levels of Ca and P.
Conclusion: We show that 38% of Japanese 12-year old early adolescents suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Findings from this study indicate that vitamin D deficiency requires close oversight in public health during adolescence.

Hailed by The Globe and Mail as "the right kind of band for this decade," Arkells are widely considered one of the most passionate, exuberant and in-demand live bands working today.
As radio mainstays, sport-sync shoe-ins and curious students of culture, Arkells have remained ever present – building awareness and personal community experiences around their live shows and new music at every turn. The most emblematic example of this being The Rally, Arkells hometown concert that sold 24,000 tickets and hailed as one of the biggest domestic shows in the country. To follow came North American and international headline touring that included their first sold-out concert at Scotiabank Arena and a stop later that year at Toronto's premiere summer venue – Budweiser Stage – which sold out in 1 day.
Arkells' touring over the last year has cumulatively raised over $100K for charity, via the band's partnership with Plus1, and the band has sold over 100,000 tickets domestically.

Lead-acid battery pollution problem has been effectively controlled
Time:2014/8/16 Read:
Pollution problems lead-acid batteries have been attracting worldwide attention, in fact, if handled properly pollution problems can be effectively controlled.
Pollution in general lead-acid batteries mostly in the following three aspects:
1, the production chain: the production process will produce lead dust lead gas, as well as wastewater discharge.
2, using the link: red acid and other operations will cause some pollution.
3, recycling areas: process knocking remove lead-acid battery grids will lead acid outflow caused by acid contamination.
But nowadays because of backbone enterprises, mainly refers to large formal enterprises, lead-acid battery production process is strict, and lead gas and wastewater discharge their lead dust generated in the process as long as strict accordance with the standards, basically does not pollute the environment ; now mostly lead-acid batteries, in particular electric vehicle batteries, basically are tightly sealed or maintenance-free, so the installation from the battery to the use of electric vehicles until the end, do not need to charge acid and other operations have again, so in the course of basically does not pollute the environment;
Because lead recycling have greater economic value, so many small businesses are willing to do the work of lead-acid battery recycling, but small businesses often lack the necessary recycling equipment and technology, so the recovery process they often lead directly to the battery knocking, direct dumping of acid remove lead, in the process gave rise to acid pollution.
Secretary-General of China Electrotechnical Society of Professional Committee of lead-acid batteries Tsui pointed out that to improve industry access threshold, through the legal system and the strengthening of administrative management, and will be unable to carry out environmental investment in small businesses eliminated, promote the industry's orderly and healthy development . China Battery Industry Association, have been studying the characteristics of lead-acid batteries to increase power and reduce consumption of lead.
With the continuous development of technology, I believe that in the near future, the problem of pollution of lead-acid batteries can be fully controlled.

Dream Start for Trade Price Cars Racing at Brands Hatch
Trade Price Cars Racing team celebrated an exhilarating start to the new Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship season with a podium finish first time out at Brands Hatch.
Rising star Jake Hill and former F1 racer Mark Blundell didn't have the easiest of starts in the Audi S3s, but overcame a difficult starting grid position to secure a 2nd and 4th place finish in the first two races and make dreams of a BTCC title challenge for Trade Price Cars and AmD Tuning seem a reality.
Jake made rapid progress from 15th in the starting grid, with the end result being a memorable 2nd place finish; matching his best result from twelve months ago and securing the best result in the series for the Audi S3.
Having rolled the dice with his tyre choice to get to the front, Jake showed lightning pace once again in the second race of the weekend and managed a hard-fought fourth place finish. With more valuable points on the board, he and the team looked well placed to make it a hat-trick of top-six finishes in race three until damage to the car forced him to retire. However, he ends the weekend sitting sixth in both the overall and Independents' Trophy standings.
Jake Hill had this to say
"It's been a great way to start the season and I have to say a huge thank you to everyone in the Trade Price Cars Racing team for their work. To come away from Brands Hatch with a podium finish is fantastic and has given us something to build on."
A New Experience
Team-mate Mark was left with work to do going into race day after an incident in qualifying resulted in him losing his quickest time in the session, which meant he started his maiden race in the series down in 28th place.
Like Jake, Mark elected to run slick tyres, which added an extra challenge in the opening laps as he waited for the track conditions to come to him. Soon making up places, Mark climbed steadily through the field to run as high as twelfth and would cross the line at the end in 14th place to secure a points finish on his first outing in the car.
Mark Blundell shared his thoughts –
"This weekend has been one of the biggest challenges of my career in terms of the learning curve I've faced; it's been incredibly steep. I've had to learn about the car, the racing environment and the challenges of managing a soft tyre that certainly wasn't the optimal one for the conditions. "Overall, there is a huge amount that I can take away from Brands Hatch and the team has done a great job. Jake has picked up some really good results, and I'm pleased to have been able to score some points first time out in the car.
"To get three finishes and come back with a car that is in one piece is a plus point for me. My lap times have been competitive which is good, as I know that I still need to find some raw pace. When I do that, I feel I'll be in a good place. I have to analyse and reflect on everything that I have learned this weekend and then take that into Donington Park next time out."
Congratulations to the Trade Price Cars team for this fantastic achievement. We're delighted to be a sponsor for the upcoming campaign, and we will be sure to keep you updated on their achievements throughout the season.

Study: Watford City schools to see steady growth
By Neal A. Shipman
Farmer Editor
For a school district that has seen its enrollment numbers explode from 698 to 1,379 students in the last five years, Steve Holen, district superintendent and the McKenzie County Public School District No. 1 school board know all too well how important it is to get a handle on what their future enrollment trend is going to be.
Which is why for the past four years, the school district has hired RSP Associates to help arrive at projected school enrollment numbers that are critical for the board and administration to plan for how many teachers they may need. And more importantly, at what point in time does the district make the decision that it needs to construct a second elementary school or how to shift entire grades to another existing building.
But coming up with those enrollment projections has proven to be very difficult considering that no one really has a good handle on the actual number of people living in Watford City or within the school district's boundaries. While the city's current population is estimated to be around 7,000 people, hard demographic information hasn't existed in the past.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are capable of high-efficiency mechanical energy harvesting, miniaturization and large scale operation, without requiring a high frequency mechanical input like hydroelectric dams and electromagnetic generators. The mechanical energy sources for existing TENGs include water, wind, vibrations, human motion, and more, allowing for the design of many self-powered devices.1 As nanogenerators are still a new field, there exist many functional, stimuli-responsive dielectric materials that have not yet been explored in TENG design. For instance, the lower frequency, wavelike oscillating motion of a polymer film coated with azobenzene derivatives as part of a liquid crystal network has great potential to design a photoactivated TENG. Through a photomechanical effect, azobenzene chromophores in liquid crystal (LC) elastomers are capable of trans-cis photoisomerization when exposed to UV light, which is reversed when exposed to visible light.2
In this work we focus on synthesizing a material for and fabricating an efficient light-driven TENG, in which the azobenzene molecules are altered to possess lower half-lives for cis-trans relaxation and tuned to respond in longer wavelengths of light. First, we will demonstrate synthesis of a fluorinated azyopridine compound that incorporates a push-pull group for fast thermal relaxation. A liquid crystal network containing hydrogen-bonded azyopyridine that incorporates a push-pull group demonstrates continuous wave-like motion when illuminated using UV light.2 Fluorinated azobenzene derivatives have been shown to be effective in tuning the film's responsiveness to longer wavelengths of light to avoid degradation of the azobenzene by UV light.3 Finally, we demonstrate the efficacy of this compound in creating a light-driven TENG and compare techniques to increase its electrical output.

It's easy when commissioning or simply plugging a battery into the device it is destined for, to overlook all the steps that went into its production. Often the minerals that are used in making a battery are mined in one country and processed in another, for example, and by the time it leaves the factory it will have undergone numerous quality checks. Just as it can be enlightening to know where our food comes from (and some people insist on knowing), understanding what goes into making a sealed lead-acid (SLA) battery can provide assurance that it was created with care, and confidence that it can be trusted to power its application reliably.
The manufacturing process of an SLA battery can be broadly divided into the following stages: oxide and grid production; pasting and curing; plate formation; assembly; electrolyte filling; charge-discharge process;, finished product inspection; packing and dispatch.
Oxide and grid production
First of all, a lead ingot is ground into lead powder and gets oxidised, then mixed with the alloy additive. This is the basic material that makes up the battery pastes. To make a grid it needs to be cast, which is done by melting the material in a melting pot, and then pouring this molten lead into the patterns of the battery grid. By contrast, when a stamping operation is used, the battery grids are made by stamping them from lead sheets. Once these grids have cooled after casting, they are passed to a trimming machine to trim the rough edges and casting gates.
Plate production
There are several steps involves in producing the battery plates. These include pasting, curing, plate formation, drying, polishing and cutting.
Pasting is probably the most important aspect because the material and formula of the paste is a top secret to the battery's manufacturer. The paste contains the active material for the grid and is the essential ingredient in creating a reaction in the cell.
These pastes are used to fill the positive and negative grids, but they are not all the same. Depending on the design, they can be made up of different chemical compounds mixed in different proportions to generate the active materials for the battery cell. These pastes are then forced on the interstices of the grids to make the pasted plates. These pasted plates will be cured in ovens under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity, after which they are allowed to dry at ambient temperatures.
The next step is plate formation, whereby the plates are dipped into the sulphuric acid mixer and then charged by using a rectifier. This process continues for around 16 to 24 hours. After that, the plates are moved into the wash tank, then sent to an oven for drying.
The final production step the plates need to go through is the polish and cutting process. after which they are ready for assembly.
Assembling and filling
In this stage, all the component parts – plates, separators, cover, safety valves, O-rings and terminals – are assembled into a battery case and then sealed. This in turn requires several steps such as plate stacking, insertion of separators, group welding, cell insertion, cross-bridge welding (inter-cell connector and plate connecting), cover sealing, terminal placing and electrolyte filling.
In the stacking step, positive and negative plates are strapped to a suitable rack, stacked together and a separator is inserted in between them. The common type of separator used in an SLA battery is AGM (absorbent glass mat) which is a glass mat specially designed to wick the battery electrolyte between the battery plates.
The purpose of the welding process is to collect the stack of plates and separators to form a solid group; these elements are then inserted into the battery cells and welded to the respective positive and negative posts on the battery's case top.
Following that, what remains to be done is to place the terminals and weld the poles, and then put on the cover to seal the battery. At this stage the only thing still to be done to complete the assembly process is to fill the battery with electrolyte, then send it for the first charge of its life.
Charging, inspection and packing
A battery's charging process must be carefully controlled, and may require 36 to 48 hours depending on its size. A low charging rate is generally employed such that the battery will be discharged and recharged several times to attain the best working conditions.
After charging and discharging, the battery will be set aside for 5 to 7 days, during which it will undergo several inspections and tests by specialised instruments. Before it can be sent for packaging, it also needs to pass a capacity test, OCV interior resistance test and high rate discharge test to rule out any defects.
Finally, the battery is now ready to be packaged, shipped and delivered to the customer to install and commission it in preparation for a long and productive life in its intended application.

Abused Children of Evangelical|Couple Make Harrowing Claims
SAN FRANCISCO (CN) – A federal judge will hear claims that church and public officials did nothing to stop years of torture and sexual abuse suffered by the six natural and foster children of Zion and Glenda Lea Dutro.
Zion Dutro accepted a plea deal to avoid trial and was sentenced to 300 years in prison in April 2011. Glenda Lea Dutro pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 15 years for her role in the abuse.
The Dutros' four biological daughters and two foster children, all of whom are now adult women, say the physical and sexual abuse began in 1982 and continued until 2003. But they say the Dutros continued to abuse them psychologically, physically and verbally until their arrest in 2008.
The women filed their original complaint anonymously in Contra Costa County Superior Court on Dec. 7, 2011, and then named themselves and the defendants in an amended complaint last month. The defendants removed the case to U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Friday.
Martha McKnelly, Sara Dutro, Amber Dutro and Glenda Stripes say there are the Dutros' biological daughters. They filed suit alongside their foster sisters, Frances Smith and Christina Moore against Contra Costa County, the city of Antioch and the Calvary Open Bible Church.
Jack Rogers and Tom Potts with Contra County Child Protective Services; Antioch police officers Art Acosta and William Dee; Antioch police detective Demetree (sic) Barakos; and Calvary pastors Mark Wood and Anthony Lee are also named as defendants.
"Plaintiffs were psychologically and physically tortured over the course of more than two decades," the 22-page complaint states. "Collectively, they were raped and otherwise sexually abused over a thousand times since they were toddlers. They lived in abject fear of their parents. Zion Dutro sexually abused one or more of the plaintiffs on an almost daily basis for approximately 20 years. Plaintiffs were at times deprived of food and water and use of a bathroom. They were beaten with sticks and belts. They were punched and kicked. They were also forcibly sodomized as punishment."
The abuse allegations open with the placement of Smith and Moore as foster children with the Dutros in 1986, when the girls were ages 3 and 18 months old, respectively.
"After they came to live with [the Dutros], they were sexually abused by Zion Dutro and physically and emotionally abused by Zion Dutro and Glenda Lea Dutro," the complaint states.
Contra Costa County and its employees were responsible for the supervision of the girls, should have ensured that they were not being harmed by their foster parents, and could have moved them from the Dutro home if they determined conditions there were unsafe, according to the complaint.
"Plaintiffs are informed and believe that no one from Contra Costa County Child Protective Services (CPS) or anyone else from the county (except for two visits described below) ever visited the Dutro house or met with any of the plaintiffs," the women say. "The county failed to have monthly face-to-face visits with Frances and Christina. The county failed to have supervised visits. The county failed to have any visits at all. (Parentheses in amended complaint.)
They claim that the Dutros' deep involvement in Calvary Open Bible Church, an evangelical church in Antioch, kept the abuse in the dark, leading to a miscarriage of justice and violations of California's mandatory reporter laws.
Stripes says she told a youth leader and two pastors, Wood and non-party Tim Zakarian, about the abuse while attending a church youth camp in August 1995.
"Rather than report this matter as required, Mark Wood immediately informed Zion Dutro and Glenda Lea Dutro about the allegations," the complaint states. "Next, Mark Wood informed a fellow church member and Antioch police officer Acosta about the abuse. Officer Acosta failed to follow his mandatory duty to disclose the abuse to CPS. Officer Acosta instead referred the case to Detective Barakos. Detective Barakos failed to follow his mandatory duty to disclose the abuse to CPS."
A week later, the Dutros allegedly went with Stripes and Wood to the Antioch Police Department for an interview with Officer Dee.
"Prior to conducting these interviews, Officer Dee was instructed not to arrest Zion Dutro by Detective Barakos," according to the complaint. "Both Glenda S. and Zion Dutro admitted to Officer Dee during their interviews that molestations had occurred. On Aug. 17, 1995, Detective Leroy Bloxsom called Zion Dutro to set up a second interview on Aug. 18, 1995 at the Antioch Police Department. During this second interview, Zion Dutro admitted to molesting Glenda S. six times. At the conclusion of the interview, Zion Dutro was let go and not arrested. Finally, Detective Leroy Bloxsom reported the molestations to Pamela Day, a CPS worker, on Aug. 18, 1995. This was the first CPS report made approximately 16 days after Glenda S. disclosed the abuse."
Neither Bloxsom nor Day is named in the lawsuit.
"Mark Wood did not report the full extent of the sexual abuse reported to him by Glenda S. and minimized the seriousness of the abuse being suffered by plaintiffs," the complaint states. "Mark Wood informed Zion Dutro of Glenda S.'s allegations, giving him an opportunity to prepare for interviews with investigators and to intimidate plaintiffs into denying the full extent of Zion Dutro's abuse. His actions were motivated by a desire to spare his parishioner a more serious punishment."
Informing the Dutros about Stripes' allegations before the interview, and interviewing Stripes in front of her abusers, "departed from mandatory reporting guidelines for reporting sexual abuse and basic standards of criminal investigation," the complaint states.
The women say "Officer Acosta's involvement in the church and Detective Barakos's order not to arrest Zion Dutro interfered with the investigation by the Antioch Police Department. Officer Acosta, Detective Barakos and Officer Dee's decision to not immediately report the known molestations to CPS interfered with the Antioch Police Department's investigation of this case and caused irreparable harm to plaintiffs."
The abuse allegedly became worse after the church and city failed to take action.
From the day Stripes told church pastors about the molestations until CPS finally arrived at the house 16 days later, the girls were "isolated, starved, tortured, sleep-deprived and beaten in order to brainwash plaintiffs to minimize and deny the abuse," according to the complaint.
"Plaintiffs were not allowed to talk to each other or to leave their rooms except to go to the bathroom once a day. They were allowed only small amounts of bread and water, and sometimes a small piece of bologna. They were not allowed to sleep more than very short periods of time; they were repeatedly told that they would be split up and never see each other again if they told the truth to CPS about the abuse they endured. They were told that the two oldest plaintiffs would be sent to juvenile hall and that the other plaintiffs would be sent to separate places and receive even worse abuse than from their parents. They were drilled with questions and mandatory answers in preparation for the CPS interviews, and beaten for wrong answers during preparation."
The visit from CPS agents was a failure as well, the women say.
"Plaintiffs were interviewed while Glenda Lea Dutro sat next to them holding their hand and squeezing their hand any time there was a question that could implicate Zion Dutro or Glenda Lea Dutro," the lawsuit states. "The interviews were conducted with Zion Dutro in the house in a position that the plaintiffs could see him watching them. Plaintiffs were terrified and believed from the brainwashing that had occurred that their fate would be even worse if they told the truth about what had occurred. Consequently they lied to CPS about the conduct of Zion Dutro and Glenda Lee Dutro.
"These interviews were conducted in a manner contrary to procedures set forth in regulations and DSS directives. Plaintiffs had very much wanted the opportunity to ask CPS what would happen to them if they had been abused and to find out if what their parents had told them was true. They never had that opportunity because none of the plaintiffs were ever alone with any CPS worker. Moreover, during the interviews Jack Rogers and Tom Potts treated Zion Dutro and Glenda Lea Dutro as the victims and blamed plaintiffs for making the accusations."
The sisters say CPS never returned to the Dutro home after that August 1995 visit.
Stipes' complaint allegedly led to Zion Dutro facing a sentence of probation, and registering as a sex offender, three months later after pleading guilty to child molestation, based on an "isolated fondling of one plaintiff."
The Dutros "successfully concealed through fear and intimidation as well as reckless conduct by the defendants the true abuse that had occurred, including forcible rape, sodomization [sic] and oral copulation," according to the complaint.
Once convicted, the Dutros abuse allegedly escalated.
Since Zion Dutro could not live in the house during the six-month probationary period, he and his wife moved into in a nearby apartment, pulled the girls out of school and kept them in the house unsupervised with little food, the lawsuit states.
"At night, Glenda Lea Dutro shuttled the plaintiffs one by one to the apartment where Zion Dutro furnished plaintiffs with alcohol and molested plaintiffs," according to the complaint.
Once again, the sisters say local government agencies failed to protect them from their parents. They claim that neither the probation department nor CPS made surprise inspections or conducted face-to-face visits as required by Dutro's plea.
"Had even a cursory visit been made to the house, the county would have likely discovered, at a minimum, that no adult was living at the house and the plaintiffs had minimal food," the complaint states. "Interviews of the plaintiffs without their parents present would have disclosed the extreme abuse resulting in, at a minimum, the removal the plaintiffs from the care and custody of Zion Dutro and Glenda Lea Dutro."
Furthermore, the women say Contra Costa "should never have allowed plaintiffs, particularly foster children or relative minors Frances and Christina, to stay with a convicted child molester."
They allegedly shared more about the torture they suffered at the hands of their parents over the years, to little avail.
In 2002, when the church was set to make Glenda Lea Dutro a youth adviser, Sara Dutro says she recounted the full history to Calvary pastor Anthony Lee. Lee allegedly responded: "Sins of her father do not reflect on sins of her mother."
Sara Dutro says also reported the abuse to the Antioch Police Department in 2003, but the officers still failed to make an arrest despite her videotaped interview.
Zion Dutro allegedly wanted to adopt several small children from Mexico in 2005, so Amber Dutro called Calvary's head pastor to demand intervention.
The pastor, who is not named as a defendant, told Amber that "God forgives and so should you," according to the complaint.
This same individual would tell an Antioch police detective years later that "everybody knew Zion was on Megan's Law," the women claim.
But the church took a different view when "Amber printed out 200 copies of Zion Dutro's Megan's Law registration information and distributed them to the congregation," the complaint states.
Calling the children's accusations "demonic attacks," Calvary pastors allegedly asked the congregation to pray over Zion Dutro because of the "evil cast over him by the Dutro children's lies and accusations."
The sisters say that they all suffer from severe psychological disorders because of the abuse they suffered at the hands of Zion and Glenda Lea Dutro. According to their complaint, they all exhibit signs of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, Stockholm syndrome, ulcers, panic attacks, vomiting, nausea, insomnia and migraines.
Since Glenda Lea Dutro could one day make parole, the women say they have made inquiries about legally changing their identities.
The sisters' litany of physical damages caused by Zion Dutro is equally harrowing.
"Plaintiffs were regularly battered by Zion Dutro resulting in severe physical injuries including, but not limited to stitches, sutures, broken bones, dislocated thumb, sprains, bruised spinal cord, laceration to head, internal bleeding, shooting pains in abdomen, chest and face injuries, abrasions to face, contusions and lacerations to lower pelvis area and excessive vaginal bleeding," according to the complaint.
The women seek punitive damages for civil rights violations and breach of duty. They are represented by Jason Runckel with O'Connor, Runckel & O'Malley in Walnut Creek, Calif.
Contra Costa County, Rodgers and Potts are represented by Edrington, Schirmer & Murphy in Pleasant Hill, Calif.
Antioch is represented by Bertrand, Fox & Elliot.
Calvary, Wood and Lee are represented by Bowman & Berreth.

This is a list of metropolitan areas in Europe, with their population according to five different sources. The list includes metropolitan areas that have a population of over 1 million.
List includes metropolitan areas according only studies of ESPON, Eurostat, United Nations, OECD and "CityPopulation Studies". For this reason some metropolitan areas, like Italian Genoa Metropolitan Area (population is over 1.510.000 as of 2012 according "CityRailway" Official Report), aren't included in this list, with data by other statistic survey institutes.
Figures in the first column come from the ESPON project, "Study on Urban Functions", which defines cities according to the concept of a functional urban area (core urban area defined morphologically on the basis of population density, plus the surrounding labour pool defined on the basis of commuting). Figures in the second column come from Eurostat's Urban Audit and correspond to Larger Urban Zones (LUZ). Figures in the third column come from the UN's World Urbanization Prospects and correspond to urban areas. Figures in the fourth column come from the OECD Territorial Reviews and correspond to "metropolitan regions". Figures in the last column come from the citypopulation.de website and correspond to urban agglomerations. Further information on how the areas are defined can be found in the source documents.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Tampa Buccaneers have claimed DT Albert Haynesworth off of waivers this afternoon.
The Patriots were believed to have released Haynesworth because of his performance as well as the fact the he'll make $1 million bonus if he plays in 20% of the teams plays this season.
Tampa lost Gerald McCoy for the season last week so the addition of Haynesworth and John McCargo should give them some options on the interior of the defensive line which has been hurting throughout the season.

Let me begin by stating that this is not a sponsored article.
McDonald's has had its fair share of terrible items, but the nasi lemak burger is not one of them.
In fact, it is great.
And I'll tell you why it's great.
Rice bun debate
But first, here's a little background on why I even started writing an article to defend the burger.
When the nasi lemak burger was first launched in 2017, some people argued that it would have been better with rice buns instead of the usual burger buns.
This is what a rice bun looks like (I know it's from MOS Burger, but this is just for reference okay):
I shook my head in disbelief at those comments.
Now in 2019, with the nasi lemak burger back in stores, people are at it again with the rice bun comments.
And two years later, I'm still shaking my head in disbelief.
I'll say it again in case the headline isn't clear enough: The nasi lemak burger does not need rice buns.
Other nasi lemak ingredients are important too
Now, I know nasi means rice, and yes, rice is an essential part of the dish.
But there are also other ingredients that make a nasi lemak, a nasi lemak.
Egg, chicken, otah, fish, sambal, etc.
And the thing is, the most important ingredient in a nasi lemak is different for everyone.
Some might not be able to accept a nasi lemak without some spicy sambal, while some might say it's not a nasi lemak without a perfectly fried ikan kuning.
There are loads of variations out there, and it's impossible to condense all the ingredients into a single version that everyone would agree with.
But for a fast food version, McDonald's nasi lemak burger is a pretty well-executed one.
This is what fusion is about
The nasi lemak burger was never meant to be a proper representation of nasi lemak.
It was always meant to be fusion food -- The lovechild of nasi lemak and burger. Equal DNA from both parents.
Therefore, as much as the it needs elements of the well-loved rice dish, it also needs elements of a burger.
If it had rice buns instead of burger buns, it would lose much of its burger-ness, and just become a compressed nasi lemak.
Perhaps something like this:No doubt still delicious, but definitely not a nasi lemak burger (sorry colleagues).
But yeah, this is basically what those rice bun enthusiasts are asking for. Where is the innovation, might I ask?
What's the point of creating a nasi lemak burger in the first place? Why don't we just buy a packet of nasi lemak and stack it up vertically then?
With the bread buns as its source of carbohydrate, the nasi lemak burger is telling the world, "Hey, let's not forget the burger side of my heritage."
Reinvented coconut taste
As for the coconut rice in nasi lemak, McDonald's spin on it comes in the form of the coconut-flavoured chicken patty.
Now, before you launch into a "WTF, a coconut-flavoured chicken is nothing compared to the coconut rice that holds HiStOriCal significance in the HiStOry of nasi lemak hIstOry" speech, remember that this is fusion food, and is not supposed to be 100 percent like any of its predecessor.
Also, since the coconut taste is already in the chicken, a coconut rice bun would probably be quite overpowering.
Let's be more open to fusion food
Fusion food is super common these days.
And if you think about it, a lot of food are a mishmash of different cultures.
Take the Bánh mì for example, a Vietnamese-French hybrid that was invented in the 1950s.
It is a party of ingredients from both types of cuisine -- Pickled carrot, pickled radish, coriander, Chả lụa (pork sausage) from its Vietnamese side, and baguette, Pâté, and mayonnaise from its French side.
It might sound like a crazy combination, but it's a combination that has won the hearts of many.
One that has made it as an internationally-loved sandwich.
While the nasi lemak burger might never have its own Wikipedia page, it is a dish that deserves to be loved as it is, burger buns and all.
So please stop bun-shaming it.

To mark its 30th anniversary, the gallery that helped launch the careers of Tracey Emin, Paula Rego and Rachel Whiteread opens its first all-women exhibition.
The gallery is emphatic that this show does not intend to represent an overarching account of contemporary female practice, but instead is part of its enduring commitment to highlight the work of talented women artists at the early stage of their careers.
The title – drawn from one of the works in the show – is suggestive of the affluence often associated with the art world. Yet here it is used ironically, contrasting with the reality of many long hours working hard in the studio.
Featured are 14 artists hailing from across the world, including Mequitta Ahuja, who weaves autobiographical details with ancient myths to create highly-saturated canvases, Mia Feuer whose Jerusalem Donkey was produced following a series of workshops with children in Palestine where the animals are vital to navigate military roadblocks, and Alice Anderson who has used 181 kilometres of thread to create mummified versions of ordinary objects.

The Follow The Dream program in Karratha is known locally as the Gumala Mirnuwarni Education Project (GMEP), which is derived from two Indigenous languages and translates as "Coming together to learn." GMEP was the very first Follow The Dream program established over two decades ago by the Graham (Polly) Farmer Foundation in partnership with Rio Tinto, Woodside and the WA Department of Education. This inaugural program commenced in 1997 with 23 students from Karratha, Roebourne and Wickham. The model was so successful that it has since been rolled out across Australia, with nearly 1800 students enrolled today in 49 primary and secondary programs.
Based at Karratha Senior High School for students in Years 7 - 12, the program provides after-school tutoring and mentoring, academic enrichment, career camps, cultural excursions and career pathway planning. Students can attend the program up to four days per week and are supported by a team of specialist tutors who provide support across a range of curriculum areas.
The program maintains strong links to its community networks and receives regular visits from local supporters, including Rio Tinto, Woodside Energy Ltd and The Northwest Shelf Project Partners. While maintaining a strong link to local employment opportunities, students are also exposed to the possibilities of university and other career pathways by specialist study programs and annual camps to Perth.

Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 266, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, legislation to provide additional COVID-19 response funds for hospitals and small businesses. House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member K. Michael Conaway (TX-11) released the following statement after voting in favor of this legislation:
"America's farmers and ranchers have suffered through a recession in the farm economy that is now in its seventh year, devastating natural disasters, and now a global health pandemic that has altered life as we know it. During this trying time, rural America has been working overtime to keep grocery stores stocked and food on our tables. This legislation, which is weeks overdue thanks to needless delays at the hands of Speaker Pelosi, funds the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (EIDL), which are quite literally saving small businesses from collapse. It also clarifies that agricultural producers now have access to both of these critical resources.
"While additional help for America's farm families will almost certainly be needed, this bill does extend a critical interim lifeline to farmers and ranchers who are struggling."

Lagos-East Senate Race: Why Ikuforiji Is The Best Man For The Job, By Oyewole Muideen
Political gladiators are already jostling for the coveted position of Senator representing Lagos-East, made vacant by the unfortunate passing on of Sen. Bayo Osinowo popularly called "Pepperito" due to complications from COVID-19. Amongst the political juggernauts slugging it out, one name stands out, boasting an array of impeccable credentials and vast experience – Rt Hon. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, the erstwhile Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly (2005 -2015).
Rt.Hon. Ikuforiji, a banker, lecturer and businessman with a Bachelors degree and Masters in Economics from Babes-Bolyai University and Bucharest Academy of Economic studies has added other feathers to his cap – bagged a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) in Leadership, John Moore University, England and was recently called to the bar in 2019, after his tenure in office. This shows that the Ex-Speaker, unlike his ilk is in relentless pursuit of knowledge despite attaining enviable political height.
He began his political odyssey as the General Secretary of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN). In 2003, he contested and was elected to represent his constituency, Epe constituency 1 at the Lagos State House of Assembly under the platform of Alliance for Democracy (AD). His leadership skills and astute representation was not lost on the House as he was elected Speaker in December 2005, re-elected for a second term on 4th June 2007 and continued for a third term as Speaker of the 7th Assembly from 2011 till 2015.
An alumnus of John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and a cybernetics and computer networking technocrat, Rt. Hon Ikuforiji has effortlessly combined being a consummate political leader with being a technocrat of repute, renowned for his intellectual sagacity, extraordinary administrative and leadership skills, and dedication to public service.
Some analysts, sponsored to diminish his chances have touted the so-called Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) case against the veteran lawmaker as the reason why he should not emerge as the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senatorial candidate in the forth-coming bye-election. Unfortunately for them, Hon. Ikuforiji has not been convicted of any crime, by any court. He is presently defending himself against allegations of malfeasance and until proven guilty, he remains innocent and can run for any office in the land. Rt Hon. Ikuforiji has maintained and nurtured an unblemished record of integrity and accountability all through his professional years, spanning decades, his stint in the House of Assembly cannot be an exception.
Lagos-East Senatorial district has had the privilege of sending its best foot forward to the Senate – those with cognate Legislative experience. Senator Mamora was a product of the Lagos Assembly where he was Speaker before becoming Senator, same as "Pepperito", who served for 4 terms in the Lagos Assembly before advancing to the apex legislature. Only Rt Hon. Ikuforiji dwarfs the experience of late Sen. Osinowo, and this gives him an edge among those lobbying to replace the deceased legislator.
This is the time for Lagos-East Senatorial district to throw its best foot forward. This is not the time to test an upstart, it is the time to hit the ground running and build on the legacy of late Sen. Osinowo. The only one the cap fits is Rt Hon. Adeyemi Ikuforiji and that is why he is the best man for the job. Let's send him forth!
Oyewole Muideen is a member of APC from Lagos

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There was a sea of pink at Union Station on Sunday morning, as supporters raced for a cure for breast cancer. For 20 years the Susan G. Komen 'Race for the Cure' has been a place for those touched by breast cancer to come together and hope.
Lori Sitek started giving 13 years ago when her mom was diagnosed. Now, after a double mastectomy earlier this year, she is riding in the pace car as a survivor.
"There were items I needed through my recovery that I did not know about unless I was connected through Susan G." Sitek said.
According to Komen Kansas City, in the last 20 years, they have granted nearly $10 million to 17 local non-profits and nationally they have funded research for key breakthroughs in breast cancer.
But the organization has come under recent scrutiny for paying its CEO and founder Nancy Brinker a salary of more than $600,000. Money that people who raced and fund raised thought they were giving to fight cancer.
The founder of Komen Kansas City responded to the latest criticism.
"From day one back 20 years ago when I got involved with Komen foundation it's was a fantastic organization, still is today. Every organization has a little growing pains, but they are phenomenal in every way to work with." Paula Porsch, founder of Komen's race in Kansas City, said.
Recently Brinker took a new position as a global strategist in the organization. Brinker and her successor, Judy Salerno, will reportedly both take smaller salaries, although those figures are yet to be released.
"We are so excited for her to come in with her leadership. She is a medical doctor she has lead a major Washington organization. She gets it and is ready to move us forward to the next level. KC wants to be here for 20 more years and give $20 million more and make that much more of an impact," Carli Good, Susan G. Komen Executive Director, said.
Pink clad, tutu-wearing women who are still willing to lock arms with the huge charity in the battle to end breast cancer. Partly because they've seen the good Komen grants have done for cancer patients here.
"I see what they are contributing to my community. I know organizations have issues within them but that doesn't diminish how I feel about what is happening in KC," Sitek said.
This year, Susan G. Komen canceled seven fundraising races around the country because numbers were so low.
