INDIANAPOLIS – Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels could be increased in childhood if less time is spent in front of electronic screens, according to a study published in the official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. This study, published in the June edition of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise®, shows an important negative effect of sedentary behavior in childhood.
The authors conducted a study to assess the relationship between time spent in screen-based sedentary behavior and changes in CRF. More than 2,000 children were followed from age 11 to 13, and each child self-reported their screen time and completed a shuttle run test to provide a measure of their CRF level. Importantly, the authors adjusted for time spent in high-intensity physical activity.
"In this technology age, children spend more time in sedentary behavior," said the study's lead author, Jonathan Mitchell, Ph.D., then at the Arnold School of Public Health, University of South Carolina. "We wanted to see if high screen-based sedentary behavior affected CRF levels in childhood, and if this effect was independent of physical activity levels."
Children who reported more screen time completed fewer shuttle run laps between ages 11 and 13. The association was strongest for the children who had mid-to-high CRF levels, and was independent of physical activity levels. If instances of sedentary behavior are lowered in children, it is predicted that CRF levels would increase.
"The results are interesting and add to the evidence that spending too much time sitting is hazardous to children's health," Mitchell added "If children limit the amount of time spent sitting in front of a screen, then this could help to combat declining levels of cardiorespiratory fitness in youth."

With tight budgets and limited resources, dealing with aging infrastructure is a challenge nearly every food and beverage company faces. For many organizations, deferred maintenance becomes the knee-jerk response, but there is a better solution. Updating to more energy-efficient equipment often produces savings that can be used to fund your upgrades, creating a cash-flow neutral or shared savings scenario that produces a return on investment.
Replacing old systems with energy efficient alternatives not only saves money on energy costs, but can also pay for itself using a cash-flow neutral solution scenario or produce immediate returns with a shared savings funding model.

Five U.S. agencies will finish the Volcker rule tomorrow after more than three years of Wall Street resistance to its limits on trading and investing. Lawmakers and their allies who want to rein in big banks are ready to pounce if it isn't strict enough.
Politicians and advocates — some Democrats, some Republicans — who blame the 2008 financial crisis on deregulation express concern that the Volcker rule won't adequately block banks from making risky bets with their own money. If they deem the rule too weak, they say it will add fuel to a push to reinstate a Depression-era law known as Glass- Steagall that until 1999 split banks and securities firms.
Such vows suggest U.S. lenders planning to challenge the ban in court risk a political backlash. A 2011 draft of the rule, required by the Dodd-Frank Act at the urging of former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, disappointed some politicians and organizations who wanted a stronger ban. Lawmakers already have drafted legislation.
"If people aren't satisfied with the implementation of this thing, that'll redouble the pressure to go back and look for something else," Marcus Stanley, policy director for Americans for Financial Reform, an umbrella group of more than 250 organizations pushing for stronger restrictions on Wall Street. "The Volcker rule was the major thing that said that these guys just crashed the world economy and we're going to ban something."
The rule aims to reduce the chances that banks will put federally insured depositors' money at risk by banning proprietary trading. The Dodd-Frank Act proposed limited exemptions on the ban for some hedging and market-making trades. The debate since has focused on how those exemptions should be defined.
"The basic point is that there has been, and remains, a strong public interest in providing a 'safety net' –- in particular, deposit insurance and the provision of liquidity in emergencies –- for commercial banks carrying out essential services," Volcker, 86, said in testimony to Congress in 2010. "There is not, however, a similar rationale for public funds, taxpayer funds, protecting and supporting essentially proprietary and speculative activities."
Banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley have argued that the Volcker rule is too broad, poorly defined and could restrict credit and increase costs for their clients.
"If regulators curtail all proprietary trading in the U.S. banking system I worry about the unintended consequences in terms of the ability of the financial markets to have sufficient liquidity to function properly," William Isaac, a former chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. who now oversees Fifth Third Bancorp, said in an interview. "This is particularly worrisome with the economy at a time when the economy in the U.S. continues to limp along and in Europe appears to be sliding back into recession."
For their part, anti-Wall Street activists have lobbied for the opposite, to force banks to act more like a public utility and curb profit-seeking speculation.
"Philosophically, what we would like to see is the return to Glass-Steagall," said Bartlett Naylor, a lobbyist for Public Citizen. "When it came to Dodd-Frank, the closest we got was this."
The term Glass-Steagall usually refers to several provisions of the 1933 Banking Act that barred commercial banks from owning affiliates that underwrite and trade securities. The law included other measures to restore faith in the Depression- shattered banking system, including founding the FDIC to protect customers' savings in the event of a bank failure.
In 1999, Congress passed a deregulation law known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that repealed the parts of Glass-Steagall that built a firewall between investment and commercial banking.
During the congressional debate over Dodd-Frank, President Barack Obama and his administration argued that simply restoring Glass-Steagall was an imperfect response to the financial crisis. They noted that the most troubled investments of the largest banks came through mortgage lending, not trading.
"A huge amount of risk built up outside our banking system, outside the safeguards and protections we put in place in the Great Depression," Timothy Geithner, who headed the Federal Reserve Bank of New York during the crisis and served as Obama's first Treasury secretary, said last year in remarks to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. "That risk and leverage grew up, built up, very substantially, and when the storm hit it put enormous pressure on a part of the system that provided about half the credit to the American economy. Nothing to do with Glass-Steagall."
In the Volcker rule, the administration and Glass-Steagall fans found an issue they could get behind, even while they clashed over its details.
"It really took on a symbolic importance," said Michael Barr, a former Treasury Department official who led the administration's push on Dodd-Frank. Barr, now a professor at the University of Michigan, said the embrace by the advocates was crucial to its inclusion in the law.
The view that deregulation of the financial industry in the 1990s was a prime cause of the 2008 crisis resonates with both Democrats and Republicans, and many of their proposed remedies have drawn support in both parties. One measure, championed by Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, and Senator John McCain, an Arizona Republican, is named the "21st Century Glass-Steagall Act" and aims to separate "traditional banks from riskier financial services."
"We should not accept a financial system that allows the biggest banks to emerge from a crisis in record-setting shape while ordinary Americans continue to struggle," Warren said in a September speech marking the fifth anniversary of the turmoil. "And we should not accept a regulatory system that is so besieged by lobbyists for the big banks that it takes years to deliver rules, and then the rules that are delivered are often watered-down and ineffective."
Another proposal, sponsored by Senators Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, and David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, aims at the problem of large-scale bank failures without restoring Glass-Steagall. Instead, Brown and Vitter propose curbing the size of large banks by imposing a 15 percent capital requirement on them.
"It is premature for anyone to take a victory lap when 'too-big-to-fail' policies are still alive and well," Brown said in a statement last week. "Despite what some on Wall Street and in Washington may say, our work is not finished."
It's not just lawmakers and policy groups who favor a new Glass-Steagall — the idea has support from some Wall Street veterans, too. Sanford "Sandy" Weill, whose creation of Citigroup Inc. ushered in the era of U.S. bank conglomerates in the 1990s, has said ending Glass-Steagall's prohibitions was a mistake.
"What we should probably do is go and split up investment banking from banking," Weill said in a 2012 interview on CNBC. "Have banks do something that's not going to risk the taxpayer dollars, that's not going to be too-big-to-fail."
Douglas Elliott, a former investment banker who is now a fellow at the Brookings Institution research group in Washington, said that in the years since Dodd-Frank was enacted, the Volcker rule has taken on outsized importance to anti-Wall Street activists.
"There seems to be this feeling that cutting off proprietary trading eliminates all of the bad stuff on Wall Street," Elliott said in an interview. "I'm puzzled as to why so many chips have been placed on this rather than other issues progressives care about on financial reform."
Regulators released their first version of the Volcker rule in 2011, which made an attempt to define the two kinds of trades Congress said should be permitted: hedging and market-making. Those who wanted tougher curbs got a boost in early 2012 when New York-based JPMorgan acknowledged botched derivatives bets that eventually caused more than $6.2 billion in losses.
Glass-Steagall advocates including Naylor of Public Citizen recognize the irony that the best argument for their side came from one of the banks fighting it. They have intensified their lobbying in the homestretch.
"If the Volcker rule comes out weak, then we're going to go all in on getting even more ambitious financial reform," Naylor said.
While the Obama administration hasn't endorsed a Glass- Steagall 2.0, it has signaled willingness to consider additional action if the current regulatory structure is deemed inadequate.
"Earlier this year, I said if we could not with a straight face say we ended 'too-big-to-fail,' we would have to look at other options," Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said in a speech last week in Washington. "Based on the totality of reforms we are putting in place, I believe we will meet that test, but to be clear, there is no precise point at which you can prove with certainty that we have done enough. If, in the future, we need to take further action, we will not hesitate."

Welcome the tenth official bulletin for the 2006 YAPC::Europe Perl Conference in Birmingham, UK.
Call For Proceedings
If you are not a speaker, feel free to jump to the next section...
Speakers, please note that we are moving the deadline of technical papers for the proceedings to end of day Friday 11th August 2006. This will be an absolute deadline and no submissions past this will be accepted. All materials will be prepared and submitted for production over that weekend, and we cannot delay this any further.
We have had several papers submitted, and we have had communications with others who are in the processing of compile theirs, but hopefully the additional 2 weeks, will give others enough time to submit more. We are accepting plain text and PDF documentation for technical papers regarding your talks, however for those submitting slides, code or demo materials, we would request you submit them as tarballs or zip files. Please note any requirements need to view the contents, such that any platform dependent specific presentation software, or any libraries to run demos are all clearly indicated. Please remember that other attendees will not necessarily be running the same platform you used to created your presentation.
We plan to have two formats for the proceedings, a printed booklet and a CD. The booklet will include abstracts to talks and speaker bios, alongside sponsor information. The CD will include the same in PDF format, together with local links to all the material submitted as above by authors.
Papers and presentations should be submitted to email@example.com by end of day Friday 11th August 2006. Please prefix your submission mail with PAPER if possible, as it will help us to spot the real mail from the spam.
Due to a rather unfortunate incident, we have had to call on the gracious help of Belfast Perl Mongers, to help us with the registration process. For anyone paying through the PayPal service, please note that you are not paying for the 2004 conference ;) Belfast Perl Mongers will transfer your payment to us on completion of your transaction.
For anyone who has already paid through the previous PayPal account, we already have your details and you should have received your registration email to confirm your attendance. If you have not received this email, please get in touch with the organisers as soon as possible.
For those who have yet to register for the conference, please click on the 'Registration' link in the 'Conference' box on the right hand side of each page of the website (http://www.birmingham2006.com). From here you will be presented with either Standard or Individual registration button. Click the appropriate button and complete the following screens. If you wish to pay by credit card, please ensure the default option of PayPal is selected in the final confirmation screen, or the Bank Transfer option if you wish to use that method. Once you confirm your details are correct, you will either be presented with our bank details in order for you to transfer funds to us through your bank, or be provided with a PayPal button, which you can click to complete the payment process. Provide you complete the PayPal payment process in a timely fashion, the conference website should be able to confirm your payment immediately. If there is any delay in processing your payment (longer than 10 minutes) then you may have to wait until we receive automated confirmation.
As previously mentioned we have two rates, standard - £100 (approximately 150 Euros) and individual - £75 (approximately 110 Euros). The standard rate is for businesses who would like to send attendees, make a single payment and receive a receipt of payment. The individual rate is for those attendees who will be handling all the registration and payment process themselves.
Hotel Bookings
Please note that the offer of £79 (single B&B) and £87 (double B&B) for Jury's Inn will soon expire. They still have their "limited" special offer of £63 (single, bed only) available, so you may want to take that option and take your chances with breakfast. There are a few sandwiches shops within a short walk, so you may wish to talk an early morning stroll and smile at all the commuters desperately trying to get to work on time ;)
Getting Here
We are in the process of providing detailed (and visual) directions to all the hotels we know people are staying at (update the wiki if you're staying at another), from both Birmingham International Airport and New Street train station. The hotels are all within walking distance, but for those staying nearer the venue and have heavy luggage you may want to take the option of a taxi.
As a number of people may be arriving at the airport or train station at roughly the same time, we are looking at the possibility of having an arrival guide, who will be able to direct you towards the appropriate hotel. For those people arriving on Monday, we hope to have a meet up in the evening, for food, drinks or both. Details to be arranged nearer the day. For those arriving on Tuesday, our aim is to start the registration some time in the afternoon and throughout the evening, so that no-one has to rush to get registered, and can enjoy a drink by the canal while they are waiting. Again we'll let you know more details nearer the day.
More Sponsors
Following on from our previous major newsletter, we are delighted to announce further sponsors.
We are extremely grateful for these sponsors providing us with the ability to put on the kind of conference we would like, however there are still plenty of other niceties we would like to include. As such if you or your company would like to sponsor us, please get in touch as soon as possible.
Should you wish to contact us, please use the organisers' email address, where you can mail us with your questions and suggestions. There is also the regular YAPC::Europe conference mailing list, which is open to all.
That's all for this release. Look out for more news and announcements in the future.

More Fifth Column than Fourth Estate
Citing new Census figures, the New York Times claims that "public school districts spent an average of $10,499 per student on elementary and secondary education in the 2009 fiscal year." But according to the most recent issue of the Digest of Education Statistics, expenditures haven't been that low for over a decade. In the last year reported, 2007-08, total expenditures per pupil in average daily attendance were already $12,922 (in 2008-09 dollars). Adjusting for inflation, that's about $13,500 in today's dollars. (Looking at spending per student enrolled, rather than per student actually taught, lowers the total figure, but not by that much).
So what gives? How can the Times claim that public school "spending" is $3,000 lower than it actually is?
They simply exclude a huge swath of expenditures in the number that they call "spending," without telling readers they have done so. Specifically, they ignore spending on things like... buildings. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think American public schools have returned to Plato's practice of holding lessons in an olive grove. Until they do, they will use buildings. Buildings cost money. They aren't erected, for free and fully furnished, from the mind of Zeus.
Not only does this arbitrary and unjustifiable exclusion of capital expenditures from the reported "spending" figures wildly mislead the public about what schools are really costing them, it also misleads the public about the trends in spending. As my colleague Adam Schaeffer reveals in the chart below, spending on physical facilities has increased at a far faster rate than other expenditures (remember those Taj Mahal schools?). So by channeling David Blaine and making capital spending disappear, the Times also misrepresents real spending growth. In so doing, they undermine the public's and lawmakers' ability to make sound policy decisions regarding education. If the Times prominently corrects this glaring error I will be utterly shocked.

Actor, evangelist and filmmaker Kirk Cameron says he hopes Thursday's encore screening of his faith-themed film "Unstoppable" was as successful as its premiere last week.
The 42-year-old former teen idol has described the movie as his "most personal" project to date.
"Kirk goes back to the beginning -- literally -- as he investigates the origins of good and evil and how they impact our lives... and our eternities," a synopsis on the film's website said. "Reminding us that there is great hope, 'Unstoppable' creatively asks -- and answers -- the age-old question: Where is God in the midst of tragedy and suffering?"
The documentary earned $2 million during its initial Sept. 24 screenings at 700 U.S. theaters, box-office records show. More than 150,000 tickets were sold for the NCM Fathom Events presentation of "Unstoppable," which was arranged in partnership with Provident Films, and averaged almost $2,900 per screen in its opening, when Cameron spoke to audiences via video link from The Vines Center at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.
An encore presentation of the film, accompanied by Cameron's presentation, is scheduled for Thursday in more than 660 movie theaters.
"It was exciting to see that a little movie like 'Unstoppable,' about a very potentially unmarketable topic -- something that could potentially be sad and depressing -- turned out to be No. 1 at the box office last Tuesday, beating out Hugh Jackman's movie 'Prisoners.' And you think, 'Why in the world would something like that happen?' And I think it's because there are millions of people who feel their values are not represented in Hollywood and they want to see things like this about faith, hope and love," Cameron told United Press International in a phone interview this week.
"I think they want to be part of something that changes the culture and that's very encouraging to me. I think it's kind of like the momentum changing in a football game. People say, 'We can do something; we do have a voice and we want to shape the world that we live in.'"
Interest from audiences and the media grew after Cameron said Facebook and YouTube initially blocked the film's trailer, labeling it as "unsafe" and "abusive."
Cameron's supporters immediately rallied online support and the trailer was reinstated, with representatives from the websites explaining the trailer was mistakenly flagged as violating their regulations against spam.
Asked if he expects as big a turnout Thursday as his film received last week, Cameron replied: "I hope so. We're doing everything we can. ... We would love to pack the theaters again Thursday. We tell people: 'Even if you've seen the film, bring your friends who really might be struggling with this question and it might be keeping them from having a deep, abiding faith in God.' And we're hoping people use this as a tool to help people they care about."
Best known as the star of the 1980s sitcom "Growing Pains," Cameron is a married father of six children whose career focuses on acting in spiritual-themed films, such as the 2008 hit "Fireproof." He also is active in the evangelical Christian ministry The Way of the Master.

Reykjavik, Iceland – 13 July, 2017 – NS1 joins forces with Men & Mice to create unprecedented network resilience with xDNS. Watch the YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEGQzH4ydGg
Unprecedented on the DDI market, Men & Mice xDNS Redundancy enables the replication and synchronization of multiple DNS zones on diverse external DNS platforms. xDNS Redundancy:
- Reduces the risk of exposure to a single point of DNS failure
- Bolsters network reliability and performance and
- Defuses the impact of DDoS attacks and other potentially harmful DNS incidents.

Apart from Up, which I only saw once, I watched them over and over. Aladdin was the first movie ever I saw in cinema. And I cried. But hey, I was like 4 or 5! There are a lot more Disney movies I liked, Especially all the older ones. Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty & The Beast, The Lion King, Lady and the Tramp. But I had to make a shorter list and those 12 are my all-time favourites!
What are your favourite Disney movies?

Analyze Hard Drives – Free Up Gigabytes of Disk Space in Seconds
Folder Size version 22.214.171.124 is released – a major version packed with plenty of new features and improvements. What is so important about this update?
Unicode ( Multi-language ) Folder Size Analysis
Folder Size did already scan files in multiple languages, but it could scan files in no more than 2 Languages at the same time. The second language had to be set as a language for non-unicode applications in the settings panel of Windows. This is no longer necessary and Folder Size can scan files in any language at the same time.
Analyze File Sizes of Multiple Hard Drives or Network Locations Simultaneously
There is a brand new dialog box that can be used to select multiple drives or folder to be scanned. If there are more than one physical drives in the computer this will reduce the scan time dramatically as the only speed limit in the application is the one of the hard drive. The scan type switches automatically to drive or folder depending on the selection. If a combination is needed the drives can be added to the folders list via the "Add Folder" button. UNC paths can be added in the folders list for network locations – e.g. \\servername\c$ etc. The command line and drag'n'drop scan operations now support parallel scan too. Here is a preview of the new "Scan Multiple Locations" dialog:
Bug fixes & Improved Folder Navigation
Using a mouse with forward and back buttons? Well this version supports them and you can use them for navigation the same way as in Windows Explorer. This release includes a lot of small bug fixes and improvement too, but they are not worth mentioning here. A full change-log can be found here.
You can download Folder Size for free.

A ganglion cyst is one of those bumps you sometimes see on people's wrist. They start off small, but can grow to the size of a golf ball. Watching a lump grow larger is unnerving, but the good news is they are harmless and they don't become cancerous. The problem comes if they get so big that you can't do up your cuffs, or if they are beside a nerve which can lead to aching or pins and needles in the hand.
Sometimes people decide to take matters into their own hands. Back in 1743, the German anatomist Lorenz Heister (who invented the word tracheotomy) listed the treatment options for ganglia – wiping the lump with saliva; taking a bullet that had killed a wild animal (ideally a stag) and strapping it to the cyst; or even rubbing it with the hand of a dead man. No surprise to hear these treatments have fallen out of favour, but judging by some eye-watering videos on YouTube there is one intervention that plenty of people are still happy to try – hitting the ganglion very hard with a huge book. The ideal book for the task, apparently, is the Bible, hence the nickname for ganglia being "bible cysts" or "bible bumps".
Even if you have a pain threshold high enough to be on the receiving end of a heavy book, there are good reasons not to do it. The first is that it could cause damage to the surrounding tissue. As well as bad bruising, you can end up breaking a bone, so it is not something most doctors recommend today.
Some might decide to take the risk, but evidence suggests another reason for avoiding this course of action. In 1972, a much-cited study in the world of ganglia reported on 543 people with ganglion cysts, mainly on the wrist. (Occasionally you find them on feet and they can form next to any joint in the body.) Some tried the bible-bashing method: at first the fluid dissipated and the bump reduced; but recurrence rates were between 22% and 64%.
Research into the physical make-up of ganglia shows us why. They contain a thick jelly-like liquid called synovial fluid. Usually this fluid lubricates the joints and tendons, but sometimes it escapes and builds up outside the joint. Curiously, the fluid taken from the cysts is thicker and contains slightly different chemicals from synovial fluid. This substance collects within a shell, but hammering the bump just disperses the fluid temporarily. It doesn't get rid of the shell, and so eventually the fluid can accumulate again, resulting in a new bump.
No one knows exactly why the fluid leaks out of joints in the first place, but there are some plausible theories. The first is that repeated flexing of the joint allows synovial fluid to leak out, which then builds up in a sack, forming a cyst. This could explain anecdotal reports that weightlifters are particularly prone to developing ganglia. Or could injury cause this? The problem is that you would expect those with evidence of an injury to be more prone to recurrence after surgery, but in fact there appears to be no difference.
So, how should you deal with a ganglion? The good news is that 45% of ganglia disappear by themselves after six years, and after a decade more than half have gone. For this reason an Australian review of treatments concluded that if the patient is not in pain, the best approach is often simply to reassure them that the lump is not cancerous and then wait to see if it goes away.
But if it's hurting you or you really want to be rid of it, then there are options. Not surprisingly, there are no randomised controlled trials of having it hammered with a Bible, but other treatments have been tested. The fluid can be removed with a needle or the whole ganglion including its shell removed surgically. There is only a 13% success rate after aspiration with a needle just once, but it can be repeated, and sometimes a steroid injection is given at the same time to improve the chances of success. After surgery the recurrence rate is far lower, but it takes longer to recover. A review of randomised controlled trials shows that there are more complications from this approach, such as damage to the nerves or blood vessels or the formation of scar tissue.
So sadly, for something that's so common, there's no perfect treatment. But hoping it goes away by itself might still be better than bashing it with a Bible.

The UEFA Champions League is inching closer to crowning a winner, and if you're one for following the odds then you've no doubt got your eyes on Bayern Munich heading into the semi-finals. Germany's top team has long been a force in the Champions League and with just two legs separating Pep Guardiola's men from an eleventh appearance in the final, the bookmakers are currently offering the shortest odds on Bayern Munich.
Thanks to impressive wins over the likes of Dinamo Zagreb (5-0), Arsenal (2-0) and Juventus (4-2), Bayern Munich have made it to the semi-final against Atlético Madrid with one of the best attacking and defensive records in the competition.
Such a route to the finale has forced the odds makers at William Hill Sports to make Bayern 6/4 favourites to win the tournament outright ahead of Real Madrid. Of course, getting past Atlético Madrid will be no mean feat, as the Spanish side has played well above expectations this season.
Indeed, anything can happen over the course of two legs. If Diego Simone's Atlético Madrid can show the type of resilience they recently demonstrated against Malaga, Bayern Munich could be in for a rough ride. In fact, according to the Guardian's Sean Ingle, Atlético Madrid are the "most brilliant exponents" of "winning ugly" and that's why this semi-final match-up is so intriguing.
If you follow the odds, you'll notice that Atlético Madrid were 19/10 for the win against Bayern Munich at Ladbrokes Sports heading into the first leg, but that's only half the story. As noted by Ingle, Simone has created a defensive "spider's web" that's capable of shutting down teams and forcing them to play wide. This tactic sets up an intriguing dynamic with the attacking prowess of Bayern Munich.
The combination of Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, Arturo Vidal and Mario Gotze gives Bayern Munich a huge amount of firepower on the attack, but as ESPN's Mark Lovell notes that "Atlético will sit back and defend." If this is the case, then some bookies' odds on Champions League glory aren't so attractive. However, if Simone's men can make it a messy affair then an upset could be on the cards.
If that's one side of the Champions League equation, then how are the bookmakers and pundits currently assessing the other side? In overall terms, Real Madrid are the second favourites with William Hill giving them odds of 2/1, but that doesn't mean Manchester City are out of the game.
City's Joe Hart has publically stated that he believes his side can beat Madrid and make it to the final. When asked about City's tough clash with Real Madrid, he explained that everyone in the side believes they can win otherwise there would be "no point in turning up."
While belief is one thing, reality is another. Heading into the semi-finals it was Zinedine Zidane's Madrid that won the battle of the odds. Across Ladbrokes and William Hill, Real Madrid held the betting lead, which many pundits agreed with. According to The National, one former Manchester resident will likely be the difference between the two sides.
Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't ever expect a warm reception from Manchester City's fans (given that he played for United), but with 16 goals in 10 Champions League games under his belt so far, it's even less likely they'll be looking forward to seeing him. Not only that, but this will be the 27th Champions League semi-final for Real Madrid and, if experience counts for something, the numbers are likely to add up for the Spanish side come kickoff.
Of course, as with all things connected to the "funny old game", literally anything could happen. But if the odds are correct and the pundits' predictions are on point, then we can expect to see a Bayern Munich/Real Madrid final come May 28.

Satin talks fan interaction, off-days at Fan Cave visit
Childhood trip to ballpark helps shape Mets first baseman's demeanor
NEW YORK -- Technically speaking, Josh Satin was 6 years old the first time he appeared in a Major League Baseball game, and it partly explains the man he is today.
It was the 1991 season at Dodger Stadium, where his favorite team was playing the rival Giants.
"This is really random, but one of my first games, I was really young, and a player named Willie McGee, he played for the Giants," Satin said. "My dad was holding me by my legs to reach over to grab a foul ball, and I fell over. Willie kind of picked me up and held me and gave me the ball. For like a long time, he was completely my favorite player. He didn't even play for a team I liked, it was just because of that."
Because of that, Satin is a Major League player who says he tries to think like McGee did that day. And amazingly enough, the Mets' next road trip will begin at Dodger Stadium, the same place where a little boy once tried to reach too far for a foul ball and realized what a positive force a player could be.
"I always try to think about what I wanted when I was 5 years old or 10 years old, out of a guy: Just a wave," Satin said during a visit Monday at the MLB Fan Cave. "People are always yelling at you on the field. Especially before a game, when you're trying to get ready, you stretch out, 10 minutes before the game. People are always screaming. I don't have time to sign an autograph or anything, I need to get ready. But I always try -- especially if it's a little kid -- to give them a wave or a smile, because I knew that it meant a lot when I was young.
"And you could see sometimes when David Wright does that to a kid, their face like lights up. They're gonna tell everyone the next day that 'David Wright waved at me.' If I bring half that or a little of that joy to them, that's all that matters."
David and Gail Satin now have a Major Leaguer on their hands, the same kid from Hidden Hills, Calif., who slipped out of David's hands ever so briefly in '91. He is hitting .309 (25-for-81) in 22 starts this season, and that included starting at third on Sunday in the wake of Wright's trip to the disabled list.
His parents have been to New York to watch the rookie play, as he gradually accumulates everyday experience and shows signs of a player with a key future for the Mets. When the Mets make that southern California trip, first to L.A. and then to San Diego, the parents will have company.
"It's going to be incredible," Satin said. "I was a Dodger fan growing up. Not even a thought in my mind that, 'Wow, one day I would love to play here for the New York Mets against the Dodgers.' It's such a farfetched dream, to be able to do that is going to be an incredible experience, for my whole family.
"My parents have been able to come to New York and see me, but my grandparents are a lot older and they can't really travel, so they're going to be able to come to games. When I was in high school they were coming to watch me play, and they haven't really seen me play since. Because I probably haven't played a game in southern California in probably, I don't know, eight years. For them to be able to watch me play is going to be a really cool experience."
On Monday, the priority was just enjoying the tranquility of an off-day. As he was arriving at the Fan Cave, Satin received a text from teammate Ike Davis. "Get over here," Davis commanded.
Davis and Satin are the top two first basemen on the Mets' depth chart, although they manned each corner on Sunday, and their connection goes well beyond that. They played in the Pac-10 Conference, Davis for Arizona State and Satin for California. They have gone through the rigors of learning your way onto a big-league roster and staying there -- Davis most notably, having struggled badly but now ranking fourth in the National League with a .417 on-base percentage since his recall on July 5.
After the visit to the Fan Cave -- where he won in ping-pong, billiards and even made a bag toss behind his back -- Satin headed for Davis' house. It was time to veg out all day.
"Just kind of relax, stay off your feet," Satin said. "The grind of the season is incredible, so any off-day you can, you've got to really try to relax, let your body heal up a little bit. We'll probably lay on the couch, watch a movie, play some video games. He introduced me to this thing in New York called Seamless (a food-delivery app), and I used it pretty much every day. It's kind of the lazy man's way to eat. He said he wants to order it four times today, so we'll probably do that.
"In Spring Training, we played this game called FIFA, a soccer game. We had some intense battles. It's been a tradition the last three years, every Spring Training we spend every night playing the game. It's also a good way to stay off your feet. We're all competitive, so it allows us to keep that competitive edge. But for some reason this year, everyone bailed on FIFA, and now we play this NHL game. ... Guys have it in the clubhouse, for a 7 o'clock game, guys are getting there at 1 o'clock to play a hockey game against each other."
Satin, 28, was drafted by the Mets in the sixth round in 2008. He was called up on June 11 from Triple-A Las Vegas, his third time up. He hit in a career-best and team-high 11 straight games (18-44) from June 25-July 7, and reached base in 16 consecutive games. He is trying to regain that momentum.
"The first month I was here, I was feeling great," he said. "It was just one of those times where you get into a zone where everything is working for you. It's been a little tougher for me lately. But I've learned a ton. First of all, I've learned that this league is hard. Anyone who says it's not is crazy. Every day, no matter what team it is, the starting pitcher they have is good -- better than any pitcher you'll face in the Minor Leagues anywhere. And then every guy in the bullpen is throwing 95 miles an hour now.
"You have to be mentally strong every day. ... You can't take pitches off. You can't relax, because once you relax and think, 'I'm killin' it right now,' the game comes back to bite you."
As for the Mets' future, just talk to Satin and you can sense a bubbling optimism. If you ever heard Willie McGee talk, you would even swear they were similar words.
"I think the future of the Mets organization is incredibly bright. I'm not just saying that because I'm a part of it. I think we have a ton of talent on the pitching side, and we have a lot of really good players who have gained experience this year. I'm not looking ahead past this season, but a week ago I would have said we're ready to go to finish this season strong to make a playoff push. It's going to be tough without David [Wright] in there. We're still going to do anything we can to try.
"But as far as the future of the Mets, I would say in 2014, watch out for the New York Mets."

The Third Great Beast Arc spans from episodes 195 to 196 of the Naruto anime. This arc is preceded by the Peddlers Escort Mission, Matchmaking Proxy Mission, and the Lady Daimyō Search Mission. It is followed by the Konoha Plans Recapture Mission.
While going through a standard check-up with Tsunade, Naruto learned that Lee's recovery from his injuries during the Chūnin Exams was still questionable. Later, Naruto and Tenten went to check on Lee just in time to see him in a practice match against young prodigy named Yagura. To Naruto, Tenten, and Guy's amazement, not only was Yagura able to push Lee back in taijutsu combat, but was also able to use an advanced taijutsu technique to nearly break Lee's ankle. Later when Naruto and Tenten were worrying about Lee's well-being, Neji convinced them to have faith in Lee as Neji had learned, stating bluntly that Lee has the potential to surpass any prodigy despite his shortcomings because of his dedication.
Later when Guy went on a mission with Yagura, it was discovered that the boy, who was with Guy, was actually an impostor. Tsunade quickly sent Neji, Tenten, and Naruto to go after Guy. Tsunade also decided not to tell Lee in fear he would follow them despite his ankle injury. Upon catching up with Guy, it was discovered that he was already captured by a ninja team of brothers who wielded a unique Puppet Technique that controlled wooden training dummies and were on a mission of revenge against Guy for their father's death. While Naruto and the team managed to fight back the dummies, Lee surprisingly showed up and rushed to aid his sensei. As Naruto and the team began to tire, Guy and Lee managed to defeat the brother's dummy fortress and break the technique. Afterwards, Guy revealed to everyone the story behind his battle with the brothers' father, making the brothers realise that their father didn't have contempt for Guy, but respect. This meant their desire for revenge was pointless.

The teenage grandson of the Flash, Impulse was born and raised in a "video game" virtual environment in the 30th century. But when the rash teenager was transported back to the 20th century, his entire life changed. This humorous book profiles Impulse's earliest adventures in rural Alabama under the tutelage of elder speedster Max Mercury. Oblivious to the concept of actions having consequences, the reckless youth must come to terms with both his incredible powers and the absurd situations that their use can result in, all the while trying to cope with the innate insanity of high school.

Whipworms are parasites that infect a dog or cat's cecum, which is a section of the intestine where the small intestine and large intestine meet. There they attach to the intestinal wall and feed off the pet's blood. Whipworms begin life as microscopic eggs and can grow up to three inches in length. They appear string-like and are thicker at one end than the other, hence the term "whipworm."
Whipworms can be treated effectively with deworming medications, but if left untreated, a severe infestation can lead to dehydration, anemia, and possibly to death.
Whipworms of different types infect dogs and cats. Trichuris vulpis and Trichuris campanula are whipworms that can infect dogs, and Trichuris serrata can infect cats, though whipworm infections in cats are rare.
An infected pet's stool will have whipworm eggs in it, which is how the infection spreads—animals release more whipworm eggs in the environment through their stool, and other animals may pick up the eggs. If your pet gets the eggs on their paw or fur, they'll swallow the eggs when they groom.
Sometimes a whipworm infection will cause no symptoms at all, if there are not enough worms present to cause significant trauma to the pet's intestinal tract. The more worms are present, the more persistent and serious symptoms become.
The most common symptom of whipworm is bloody diarrhea. Dehydration, weight loss, lethargy, and anemia are also common symptoms.
Deworming medicines target the adult whipworms that have attached to the intestinal wall. Dewormers attack the worms' nervous system, so they release their bite on the intestines and pass out of the body through the stool. Once in the outside environment, the worm dies. Because some worms may be in different life stages at the time of treatment, deworming medicines may have to be administered several times to be fully effective.
Since whipworms can be common in dogs, especially puppies, it's essential to get your new pup checked immediately. Cats are less likely to be infected with whipworms, but if you notice any symptoms, take your pet to the veterinarian.

'Game of Thrones' stunner: Ding-dong, (spoiler) is dead!
SPOILER ALERT: Do not read this post unless you want to know what happened during Sunday night's episode of "Game of Thrones" on HBO:
Ding-dong the king is dead!
The promotional mantra for "Game of Thrones" this season is "All Men Must Die" and on Sunday night the epic fantasy's ever-growing body count grew by one very major character - bratty kid king Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson).
And again, a wedding proved to be the fatal setting.
Of course, folks who follow the book series written by George R.R. Martin knew this one was coming. But those only familiar with the cable show had to be shocked when Joffrey keeled over not long after tying the knot with Margaery Tyrell. He began choking and gagging. His his face turned various ghastly colors and he bled from the nose before falling victim to an apparent poisoning.
And just like that, the much-hated evil ruler was gone –the brutally violent series sticking to Martin's creed that no one is safe.
Joffrey's demise happened during his lavish wedding reception in Kings Landing as big-time dignitaries and members of the Lannister family looked on in horror. And it happened after Joffrey, not surprisingly, enjoyed one last outburst of mean-spirited abuse. For post-wedding entertainment, he arranged a perverse skit in which a group of dwarves enacted the battle of five kings in front of Tyrion and a stunned Sansa.
After Tyrion declined Joffrey's plea to join the "fun," the king began dissing the Lannister dwarf to no end, pouring wine on his head and then making Tyrion serve as his personal cupbearer.
But the wine in the golden goblet turned out to be a lethal vintage and as Joffrey died in his mother's arms, Cersei turned accusatory eyes toward Tyrion.
"He's poisoned my son! Take him!" she ordered, prompting the guards to take Tyrion into custody. Meanwhile, during all the commotion, Sansa was whisked off the premises by her newfound ally Ser Dontos.
So what did you think of the episode? Are you (TV-only) fans surprised to see Joffrey bite the dust so soon this season? Do you think Tyrion really pulled off the dirty deed? If not, who's your No. 1 suspect and why?

PI Outreach's latest video resource, Everyday Einstein: GPS & Relativity, battled fierce competition to tie for second place in the Non-Interactive Media category of the prestigious International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge. The resource was created by Damian Pope, PI's Senior Manager, Scientific Outreach and his team. The winning entries were chosen from 111 entries submitted from 63 countries.
PI Outreach General Manager, Greg Dick said, "Dr. Pope and his team effortlessly tied Einsteinian Relativity to what has become an almost everyday device - the GPS unit - and really made the science come alive. This resource is proving to be valuable for grade 9 and 10 science teachers, physics teachers, and the general public."
Everyday Einstein is part of a kit available to educators which explains the surprising link between GPS navigation and Einstein's greatest discovery. The kit, which is distributed widely across Canada and beyond, includes a DVD, plus student activities and worksheets created to reinforce the concepts outlined in the video.
The winners were announced in the February 18, 2011 issue of Science which presents the awards in partnership with the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The contest, now in its eighth year, was established to promote on-going efforts to create visualizations that help communicate complex scientific concepts to a broad audience. These visualizations are particularly useful in science education for both students and the general public.
The entire list of winners can be viewed here or on the NSF website.
