Boise State holds on against New Mexico

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Three takeaways helped the Boise State football team take a 25-point lead Saturday at University Stadium.

Two turnovers nearly gave it all away.

The No. 24 Broncos escaped with a 32-29 victory over New Mexico to improve to 3-1.

The Broncos led 25-0 at halftime - a lead that began to dwindle when they fumbled the opening kickoff of the second half.

"It can change that fast," Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. "I hope this team learns that. It doesn't matter how much you're up or how much you're behind, you've got to finish. You've got to play."

The Lobos' triple-option offense gashed the Broncos' usually stout defense for 330 rushing yards. They scored on drives of 26, 96, 75 and 1 yards -- including touchdowns that followed the fumble on the kickoff return, a fumble by wide receiver Shane Williams-Rhodes and a failed fourth-and-1 play at the New Mexico 4-yard line.

The Lobos dropped to 2-3 in coach Bob Davie's first year. They won one game each of the past three seasons.

"In the second half, we came out fighting and showed them we were not giving up," said linebacker Joe Stoner, whose fumble return put the Lobos on the Boise State 1. "This is a whole different era. We just want them to know that if you are going to come into our home turf, you are going to have to play us for the whole four quarters."

The Lobos got the ball on their own 27-yard line with 3:24 left in the game down by three points. Boise State linebacker Tommy Smith stuffed a third-and-3 run by quarterback Cole Gautsche to set up fourth-and-4.

Starting quarterback B.R. Holbrook, who didn't play much in the second half, entered and threw the Lobos' only pass of the second half. Smith dropped into the passing lane and knocked down the ball.

Day 04 Mon. (10.09.2012) Day 1: Polglass Way, Ardross is 247km to Dunsborough driving south passing by Mandurah, Bunbury and Busselton

We started the day early and by 7.30am we were on the Kwinana Freeway/State Route 2 heading south to Mandurah a 63km away. At about 9am we visited Dave?s step grandfather, Alf Garden who is 84. He is still very healthy and has been cycling 40km at times. Alf Garden stays alone in a very cozy house nearby the sea in Mandurah.

At 10am Dave hired a 8 seater runabouts boat (A$50) from Blue Manna, 13 Dolphin Drive, Mandurah, (http://www.bluemannaboathire.com.au) for an hour boat drive along the man-made canal. Dave drove us through the scenic Peel Inlet and the Mandurah Estuary viewing the luxury canal side homes.

At 11am we had the best fish and chips for lunch at Cicerello, (http://www.cicerellos.com.au) no.73 Mandurah Terrace overlooking the beautiful Mandjar Bay.

At 12noon we continued another 160km road journey south passing by Bunbury and arriving at Busselton at 2.25pm on Forrest Hwy and Bussell Hwy. From here we continued 24km on Caves Rd. to Dunsborough arriving at 2.52pm to pick up the Pelican Cottage keys from Cape Executive Holiday Properties office at 4a Dunn Bay Centre, 31-33 Dunn Bay Rd. which was pre-booked online by Monica. The cottage was very clean and pleasant with all facilities available. http://www.capeexec.com.au

After checking-in to the cottage, we headed out to explore the town and did some shopping for dinner at Coles supermarket. Dave went and bought some wine for the ladies from another bottle shop.

Obama mixes debate preparation with fundraising

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama warned Democrats about becoming too complacent with six weeks left before the election. He joked that Democrats tend to believe that the "sky is falling" or that "everything is great."

"This is going to be a close race right down to the wire," he told about 90 donors gathered at the Washington home of Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat.

His remarks come amid public polls that show him gaining advantages in some key battleground states. It also comes months after anxious Democrats worried Obama would not be able to keep up with Romney's fundraising.

In a day partly devoted to a fundraising blitz for himself and other Democrats, Obama also offered themes of political unity, telling another group of donors that the nation is "not as divided as the pundits make it seem."

"I don't know how many folks will vote for me this time around," Obama told an audience of donors near the White House. "But I say the same thing to them (as in 2008): I will be your president, too."

"I'm not fighting to create Democrat or Republican jobs," Obama added. "I'm fighting to create American jobs."

The message came as Obama continues to seize on a leaked video in which his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, said that 47 percent of people "will vote for the president no matter what." Romney described them as people who pay no federal income tax and "believe that they are victims."

Obama spoke at the first of three fundraisers after another Friday afternoon of debate prep at Democratic National Committee headquarters. He will face off against Romney in Denver on Wednesday.

The Obama fundraiser at the Capital Hilton drew an estimated 700 guests with tickets starting at $250.

Tickets for the event at Rockefeller's home cost $20,000 per person.

The final fundraiser, back at the Hilton, is estimated to draw 200 people. Tickets for that event start at $2,500 per person.

The money is to go to Obama's campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state Democratic parties.

Chevron pays $17M fine for oil spill off Brazil

SAO PAULO (AP) ? Chevron Corp. has paid a multimillion-dollar fine for several "irregularities" in connection with last year's oil spill off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's National Petroleum Agency said.

The agency said in a Thursday statement that Chevron paid the 35.1 million real ($17.3 million) fine last week for 24 of 25 irregularities detected. The statement did not provide details on the irregularities.

Some 155,000 gallons of crude are thought to have been released in the November 2011 spill.

The agency said it granted Chevron a 30 percent discount because it paid the fine on time and did not challenge it.

Chevron confirmed it paid the fine and said it will "implement a number of process improvements developed from lessons learned in the incident. Chevron Brasil respects and complies with the laws of the countries in which it operates."

The company said in a Friday statement that "continuous monitoring of the incident area shows no discernible environmental impact to marine life or human health."

Also on Friday, Brazil's state-run oil company, Petroleo Brasileiro SA, said it filed a suit in federal court asking for the suspension of an injunction ordering driller Transocean Ltd. to cease operations in Brasil until investigations into the spill are completed.

The company said in a statement that the suspension would hurt Petrobras' exploration activities since it is currently using seven Transocean rigs in Brazil.

Earlier this week, Transocean and Chevron were served injunctions ordering them to suspend operations in Brazil within 30 days.

Kristen Bell hits Target in product-placement film

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Talk about product placement: Target is releasing an episodic series of short films starring Kristen Bell and Nia Long and everything on screen is for sale.

The company unveiled the three episodes of "Falling for You" Thursday at a private event at the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles.

Bell plays an advertising exec and Long is her boss in "Falling for You." Zachary Abel plays Bell's rival ? and potential love interest ? in the series, wherein online viewers can click on any item on screen and add it to their shopping cart, from fashion to housewares.

"It's a very exciting concept," Bell said. "It felt very fluid. A lot of it is just showing things in their natural habitat. I felt like it was more natural than a product-placement situation (on a film set)."

More than 100 products are featured in the three-episode arc. "Falling for You" will begin airing Oct. 2 and the products featured will be available until Nov. 1.

DA won't pursue case against prof in brother's death

Huntsville Times/AP

Amy Bishop is escorted by sheriff's deputies at the Madison County Courthouse in Hunstville, Ala., on Sept. 11.

By NBC News staff and wire services

Amy Bishop, the biology professor sentenced to life in prison earlier this week for killing three colleagues, will not be prosecuted for murdering her brother in 1986, the Massachusetts district attorney looking at that case said Friday, according to the Boston Globe.

Bishop?s fatal shooting of her younger brother Seth at the family?s home in Braintree, Mass. was dismissed as an accident at the time. But the February 2010 shooting spree that left three of her colleagues dead and three others wounded at the University of Alabama at Huntsville sparked an inquest into Seth Bishop?s death, which was then reopened as a homicide case.

Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey said in a statement Friday that his office would not pursue the first-degree murder charge against Bishop because she is now scheduled to end her life behind bars.


"We will not move to have her returned to Massachusetts," Morrissey said, according to the Globe report. "The penalty we would seek for a first-degree murder conviction is already in place."

The Harvard-educated biologist opened fire at a faculty meeting in February 2010.

Bishop killed her boss, biology department chairman Gopi Padila, plus professors Maria Ragland Davis and Adriel Johnson. Professor Joseph Leahy, staff aide Stephanie Monticciolo and assistant professor Luis Cruz-Vera were wounded.

Colleagues believed Bishop was angry that the school had denied her tenure.

On Sept. 11, Bishop pleaded guilty to first-degree murder charges. By doing so, she avoided a possible death sentence but was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Morrissey said that after talking to his counterpart in Alabama, Madison County District Attorney Robert Broussard, he felt confident that Bishop would never be released from custody, the Globe reported.

His office was planning to file what is known as a "nolle prosequi" next week, which would allow prosecutors to revive the first-degree murder charge against her "if circumstances change," it said.

Avengers Assemble!

? 2012 Marvel. All rights reserved.

It was to be ?a golden future.? After frustrating years watching its four-color superhero properties sputter in Hollywood?while rival DC drove its own superhero franchise to even greater prominence?Marvel Comics resolved to put its destiny in its own hands at last. ?Total creative control of our celebrated roster of comic book characters??that?s how a company newsletter announced the launching of Marvel Productions, its new studio. ?We are looking forward to taking the reins for the development of our own properties as well as sharing our expertise with other suppliers.?

And although Marvel Productions managed to churn out a stable of Saturday-morning cartoons over the next decade, it never did scrape together the capital to make its own movies. Instead, fans watched helplessly as Universal turned Howard the Duck into a high-profile fiasco, and as Cannon Films (best known for films like Enter the Ninja and Death Wish III) sat on the rights to Spider-Man. Stan Lee, the exuberant, charming face of Marvel who?d moved out to California to follow his Hollywood dreams, was great for getting a pitch meeting, but closing feature deals was seemingly out of his grasp.

In 1993, Marvel?which Ron Perelman?s Andrews Group had taken public and begun expanding rapidly?assumed a 46 percent ownership stake in Isaac Perlmutter?s Toy Biz; in exchange; Toy Biz would get an exclusive, royalty-free perpetual license to manufacture toys based on Marvel characters. A Harley-riding, Israel-born Toy Biz designer named Avi Arad ?was brought in to guide a restructured and renamed Marvel Films, taking the reins from Stan Lee. (Lee?s autobiography diplomatically states that Arad ?seemed to desire less and less? input from the former king of Marvel.) By year?s end, Arad had signed a deal with 20th Century Fox to do an X-Men movie.

Marvel?s Hollywood moment might finally have been at hand. But then it all went wobbly. The comic book industry, flooded by Marvel (and other companies) with gimmicky collector?s editions, cratered. Ron Perelman?s management team redirected proceeds into other Andrews Group holdings and made bad investments in other companies. Despite Arad?s overtures, the Hollywood action started to power down. ?It was literally a daily fight,? he remembers, ?trying to open people?s eyes to what was right in front of them.? In late 1996, Marvel filed for bankruptcy, cueing a two-year battle royale featuring a head-spinning number of alliances that shifted in various permutations between Perelman, Perlmutter and Arad, and Carl Icahn, the takeover mogul who owned much of Marvel?s debt.

Producer Avi Arad arrives at the premiere of Columbia Pictures' 'The Amazing Spider-Man'. Avi Arad helped Marvel turn things around.

Of all these players, it was Arad who emerged as the comic-book fan. While corporate lawyers screamed obscenities at one another, Arad wooed bankers with a stirring speech about the value of Marvel?s characters: ?Spider-Man alone is worth a billion dollars,? he pleaded, as recounted in Dan Raviv?s Comic Wars. ?But now, at this crazy hour, at this juncture, you?re going to take 380 million for the whole thing? One thing is worth a billion! We have the X-Men. We have the Fantastic Four. They can all be movies.?

When at last Marvel did emerge from bankruptcy, with Perlmutter and Arad on top, it was greeted with a streak of luck and delayed payoff: Blade was a surprise $70 million hit for New Line. At Fox, the X-Men production finally solved the obstacles of a restrictive budget and a string of discarded writers (which included Michael Chabon and Joss Whedon) to earn $157 million. Most miraculous of all was the news that, after nearly 15 years and countless ?Tangled Web? newspaper headlines, the film rights to Spider-Man were finally resolved. The 2002 adaptation broke box-office records.

So Arad and Marvel had a choice. Marvel properties were finally recognized as a gold mine in Hollywood, and the company could well have survived by treating comic-book movies as intermittently appearing cash cows: Hollywood studios make movies with Marvel characters, and Marvel reaps the benefits in the form of increased comics sales and licensing opportunities.

And yet, says Arad, ?We were giving away the best part of our business.? Marvel took in a mere $25,000 from Blade?s success; likewise, it had negotiated only a flat fee from Fox for X-Men. And of the $3 billion that the first two Spider-Man movies raked in from box office, DVD, and broadcast sales, Marvel saw only $62 million. ?The deals at the time on DVDs were kind of ridiculous,? says Arad. ?We got very little out of it.? (The characters? creators got even less, but that?s another story.)

Enter the soft-spoken, endlessly ambitious David Maisel, a Michael Ovitz prot?g? who wanted to, in the parlance of wheelers and dealers, unlock more potential. In late 2003, Maisel?at the time working for the Endeavor Talent Agency?flew to Florida for a lunch-meeting pitch to Perlmutter. Maisel laid out a plan for Marvel not only to see more green, but to free itself from the erratic whims of studios by making its own movies. Why take just 5 percent of the gross when you could have it all?and not just the box-office, but the ancillary revenues from merchandising and DVDs? Best of all, the movies could all be tied together into one narrative; rendering each one a quasi-sequel to the last.

Bigger Utah firms soon will qualify for SBA support | The Salt Lake ...

Hundreds of Utah businesses that previously were unable to receive support from the U.S. Small Business Administration because their revenue was too large may soon qualify for assistance.

The SBA said Wednesday it has issued several new rules that become effective late next month that redefine the maximum size a firm can be and still be considered a small business.

Depending upon the industry in which they operate, the SBA will classify companies as a small business based upon either the number of their employees or annual revenue. The new standards apply only to companies that can be classified as a small business based on annual revenue.

The SBA estimates the new standards will cover more than 13,000 firms nationwide in the real estate and rental and leasing sector, 1,500 additional businesses in the educational services sector and 4,100 in the health care and social assistance sectors.

For example, a company that rents consumer electronics and appliances previously would have been considered a small business if its annual revenue was below $7 million. Under the new standard, it would be considered a small business if it generates revenue of less than $35.5 million a year.

Once the new rules go into effect, those businesses become eligible for SBA loan and federal procurement programs.

Self Improvement | Punchy Tips for Building Self-Confidence, Self ...

By Mike I McClement -

1. Know what you look like

Find out how people perceive you? if you look as though you lack confidence, then people will treat you as though you do. In other words, you?re already on the back foot and it?ll be a lot harder to get people to listen to you.

2. Sort out your body language

Like it or not, people suss you out quickly, mostly by taking in your body language and sound. So get yourself in front of a mirror and be honest with yourself. Do you look confident? If not, why not? Then practise looking confident. Look at your posture, your facial expression, your clothing? Sounds mad but it works.

3. Don?t say sorry

Are you a serial sorry sayer? A lot of people who lack confidence are. They apologise for everything. Well don?t. Only apologise if your actions warrant an apology. Some people prefix everything they say with a ?sorry?. This is completely unnecessary and suggests you doubt yourself. You might as well hang a sign around your neck saying ?I lack confidence?.

4. Remember you?re not unusual

Realise that you?re not unusual. Even truly confident people have their ups and downs. They accept this as part of life. An embarrassing situation is an embarrassing situation.. so what? It happened, there?s nothing you can change about it. So learn from it and move on.

5. Be realistic

Accept that you?re not unlucky. No one was born confident. Confidence is a skill you can actually learn. Accept this and start to learn. Just like any other skill, it requires practice and self-discipline to get good at it. We can all do it as long as we accept the challenge.

6. Think positively

Understand your mindset. Be honest with yourself? are you a positive or negative thinker? Are you a pessimist or an optimist? This is important. It?s impossible to feel and look confident if you approach life negatively. A problem is a challenge, a mistake is a lesson to be learnt, a failure is a fact of life.

7. Know where you?re going

You?ll achieve little, if nothing if you don?t have a focus. So work out what you want to achieve, both at home and at work and write down a plan. Think strategically (say over 2 years) and more tactically (say 6 months). One leads on from the other ? think strategically first and then decide what you need to do tactically to achieve this.

8. Be happy

Think carefully about what makes you happy and get some of it. Confident people tend to be happy people ? just watch them and you?ll see. That?s because they?ve found a balance between the things they have to do and the things like doing. They?re also realists. They accept that life is life and there are some things that just have to be done but they don?t let these bog them down.

9. Smile more

Sounds mad but it?s true. Smiling really does help you to feel and look more confident. Someone who walks into a room smiling looks confident. It?s a fact. It?s also true that smiling actually makes you feel happier. It releases endorphins into your system. This even happens when you make yourself smile? So it?s worth the effort.

10. Control your emotions

Control your emotions but don?t stifle them. Think about how you let them out. Don?t make a fool of yourself. Take a deep breath, maybe a few minutes too and then explain your feelings in a controlled way. Confident people have the self-control to do this.

Apple ?aggressively? recruiting ex-Google Maps employees

News

Apple is on a recruitment drive to develop its native Maps app for iOS 6, reportedly ?luring away? Google Maps employees to help refine their mobile strategy.

According to a report by TechCrunch, Apple wants to improve its Maps application drastically, using new concepts and enabling advanced capabilities, following criticism of its performance with the launch of iOS 6 on September 19.

The report also quotes a contractor who worked on Google Maps, confirming allegations that Apple is pursuing contract employees who helped develop Google Maps:

?Many of my co-workers at Google Maps eventually left when their contracts ended or on their own accord. One guy looked around for other GIS work and ended up at Apple when a recruiter contacted him,? the unnamed source reveals.

?He had heard rumors for a while that Apple was going to develop its own in-house mapping platform, and given his experience at Google, he was an easy hire. Apple went out of their way to bring him down to Cupertino and he?s now paid handsomely.?

The source told TechCrunch similar instances like this were happening regularly, but that Apple had a long way to go before it could compete with Google Maps, by offering an equal or better nativr version on iOS 6.

MacRumors points out that the success of Apple?s own Maps application was short-lived, with ?significant criticism of the quality of the data in many parts of the world.?

Apple has responded to user complaints about its Maps application, speaking with tech website AllThingsD:

?Customers around the world are upgrading to iOS 6 with over 200 new features including Apple Maps, our first map service? Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller?said in the statement.

?We are excited to offer this service with innovative new features like Flyover, turn by turn navigation, and Siri integration. We launched this new map service knowing it is a major initiative and that we are just getting started with it. Maps is a cloud-based solution and the more people use it, the better it will get. We appreciate all of the customer feedback and are working hard to make the customer experience even better.?

If Apple?s strategy is to poach its rivals? workers, it has a large pool of talent to choose from. Google?s Map subsidiary currently employees a fleet of 7000 staff, with 1,100 full time workers and 6000 contractors. according to Business Insider.

Facts About Safety Leadership Training | Motivation - Self Help ...

Visit SinaSolutions.com.au to learn more

Safety is the key concern in most organizations and business establishments especially in the production and manufacturing industries. Worldwide, there is a high level of rates in the occurrence of accidents and unfortunate incidents daily. These could have been avoided if appropriate safety measures were observed. This is the main reason why safety leadership training is given to leaders and managers of different establishments and organisations. This would also permit them to build and implement safety measures that would bring accident rates down to the lowest level possible.???? ?

The chief belief of safety leadership training is that all work related injuries can be avoided if only workers and employees are determined to achieve such result. It would definitely help if an individual is wel-trained on and knowledgeable about preventing accidents and injuries in the office or at the work place.? ?

The usual things provided in safety leadership training concentrate on the significance of social systems affecting attitudes and behaviours of individuals as well as the regulatory and technical facets of an organization or business establishment.???? ?

Safety leadership training aims to provide managers and supervisors or business companies and organizations with the necessary tools and skills to effectively lead and manage safety in their zone of responsibility. Safety leadership training programs teach the managers and supervisors the development of safety and perceiving it as a personal value, empowerment of workers and employees in safety processes, honing qualities required in safety leadership, and the gaining and improvement of effective communication skills. It also teaches them how to be accountable for own safety.

Many safety leadership training programs give a multifaceted survey regarding safety where peers and managers share insights on a person?s safety leadership skills. Individual plans are likewise created and built in order to support the elimination of obstacles within an establishment to uphold improved visibility of safety for the work place.? ?

Most of these training programs are downloadable from the Internet and learned in one?s own available time. The skills highlighted on such programs include training on wise and effective means of keeping coworkers safe and free from incidents or accidents and honing their communication and leadership skills.?? ?

Employees and workers are highly encouraged to observe all possible precautions in order to prevent any grave consequences because safety must always come first.

Also, behavioural safety is equally important as safety leadership training because physical health and safety is as much as important as mental and psychological.

In general, the core idea of safety leadership training is to make sure everyone in the work place is safe.

Living In The Limelight

1) What is your roleplay about?
-It's a band roleplay. Why'd we make it? 'cause there just ain't enough band roleplays around this site. Band roleplays offer a unique setting and potential for plenty of fun and interesting interactions, and plus, who doesn't like to live out their dreams of playing in a band of their favourite genre without actually going out and taking the time and effort to actually make it happen in reality?

...okay, I could have phrased that a bit more appealingly.

2) Why is your idea so much better than the rest?
-We're not bringing anything 'amazing' to the table. If you've been in a band roleplay before, you know that it tends to be similar with regard to the premise itself--it's the characters that give life to the thing and make it truly go. If you're the type who prefers a fun roleplay with plenty of emphasis on the characters themselves and their interactions rather than a preset plotline--and, of course, if you like rock music--this is the RP for you.

3) What do you want from potential roleplayers?
-The simple answer is, keep it reasonable, use common sense. Ideally, though it's not a straight requirement, you should be available to post at least once a day on average, for the most part (barring, of course, special circumstances), and at maximum it's preferable that you don't go several days without posting, assuming everyone else is keeping a brisk but relaxed posting rate (again, barring special circumstances). Post length, preferably about 300 words, and there's no real maximum (just be aware of people's attention spans when you make a four thousand word intro post :v). As to level of writing--again, common sense. I don't expect I'll need to bust out a dictionary every other word, nor do I expect mammoth posts that dwarf War and Peace in its entirety. But I do expect literacy--and it should really only require common sense to gauge what level of literacy I mean.

4) Who are you?
-Just a small-town girl...livin' in a lonely wo--

Yeah, I couldn't resist that. We're both experienced roleplayers who have been on this site nearly a year, and act as co-GMs of this roleplay.

So! Intrigued! ...no? Well, here's the link to the roleplay anyway. Plenty of roles are open, and the field is wide open. We plan on making this a fun roleplay with interesting characters with their own stories to share (or perhaps not share) and their own unique personality to bring to the mix.

I am not, in fact, a woman. Apparently, I have to affirm this. :v

PFT's Morning After: Amazing Sunday, except for refs

PFT's Morning After: My choice for the best game of the day was that insane finish in Tennessee, where the Lions came back from 14 points down with 18 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime, only to end up losing 44-41. But the Chiefs-Saints battle was also lots of fun, and every time I looked at the Bengals? 38-31 win over the Redskins I saw one of the league?s bright young stars (either Cincinnati?s A.J. Green or Washington?s Robert Griffin III) making a big play. There was no shortage of greatness on display on Sunday.

It is Vital to Train Your Voice Even if You Are Not a Singer

Most people are aware that the manner in which we use our voice can make a difference to how our vocal communication is perceived. In fact, most quarrels emanate from not what has been said, rather the manner in which it has been said. You can join voice classes to improve the quality of your voice and learn proper voice modulation. You might want to train your voice because you want to take up acting as a career or because you want to become a singer or simply because an effective voice during managerial communication. Voice lessons will bring many benefits to your life. Not only does singing reduce stress, but singing can also play a big role in building confidence.

Lessons for up-and-coming singers are available in more formats than one might imagine. Most singers understand the need for private voice coaching to help them form a foundation of practical technique-- breathing, support and resonance skills. Singing courses, like all learning material, will come in different difficulty settings. If you are an experienced singer, you can look for something more advanced that can help you perfect your vocal talent. In addition to basic technique, these lessons may involve specialty techniques as well as insider industry information that could be very valuable to a singer who is working to build a career.


Those who are looking for voice lessons online, the options seem to be limitless. One of the options could be an instructional video. You will immediately gain understanding for the techniques and personality of a vocal coach through a video. A good vocal instructional video is one sign of a quality instructor. Some of the things that should be covered during the training program are breath support, breath placement, position/posture of the tongue, palette, jaw, and mouth, and ear training. One of the biggest advantages of online lessons is the cost, which would be a fraction of what you would need to fork out for a face to face training session. Add to that you can pursue them at your convenience.

Giant panda cub born Sept. 16 at National Zoo dies

(AP) ? The giant panda cub born a week ago at the National Zoo in Washington died Sunday morning, saddening zoo officials and visitors who had heralded its unexpected arrival.

The 4-ounce cub, about the size of a stick of butter, showed no obvious signs of distress and made its final recorded noise shortly before 9 a.m. Sunday, zoo officials said at a news conference.

The cub's mother, Mei Xiang, then made an unusual honking sound at 9:17 a.m. that her keepers interpreted as a distress call, and she moved away from where she had been nesting with the cub. About an hour later, one keeper distracted her with honey water while another used an instrument similar to a lacrosse stick to pick up the cub.

The cub, whose gender could not be determined externally, was not breathing and its heart had stopped. A veterinarian attempted CPR before it was pronounced dead at 10:28 a.m.

"This is devastating for all of us here," National Zoo director Dennis Kelly said at a news conference. "It's hard to describe how much passion and energy and thought and care has gone into this."

Four American zoos have pandas, but Washington's pandas are treated like royalty. The zoo was given its first set of pandas in 1972 as a gift from China to commemorate President Richard Nixon's historic visit to the country.

Mei Xiang's first cub, Tai Shan, born in 2005, enjoyed enormous popularity before he was returned to China in 2010.

The new cub, born Sept. 16, had been a surprise at the zoo. Fourteen-year-old Mei Xiang had five failed pregnancies before giving birth.

Panda cubs are especially delicate and vulnerable to infection and other illness. The first weeks of life are critical for the cubs as mothers have to make sure they stay warm and get enough to eat.

Panda mothers are about 1,000 times heavier than their cubs, and sometimes they accidentally crush them. On any given day in the first two weeks of life, cubs have a mortality rate of 17 to 18 percent, zoo officials said.

A necropsy was being conducted to determine the cause of death, and preliminary findings were expected Monday, said Suzan Murray, the zoo's chief veterinarian. The cub showed no external signs of trauma, she said.

"The cub was just beautiful. Beautiful little body, beautiful face, with markings just beginning to show around the eye," Murray said.

As they did after Tai Shan was born, keepers had been leaving Mei Xiang alone with her offspring, monitoring her on video feeds that were also streamed on the zoo's website. Mei Xiang was resting comfortably after the cub's death, officials said.

The zoo's first panda couple, Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing, had five cubs during the 1980s, but none lived more than a few days. One of the cubs was stillborn; two others died of pneumonia within a day; another died from lack of oxygen after birth; and the final cub died of an infection after four days.

Atlanta has had three cubs, and the San Diego zoo has had six, including a cub born this year. A panda couple in Memphis has yet to have a cub, despite several tries.

The cub had not yet been named in accordance with Chinese tradition ? it was to receive a name after 100 days on Dec. 24. Had the cub survived until then, it would have been roughly the size of a loaf of bread and weighed around 10 pounds. It will not be named posthumously, Kelly said.

Kelly said it was too soon to know if the zoo would attempt to breed Mei Xiang again. She was artificially inseminated with sperm from the zoo's male panda, Tian Tian.

"These bears are so critically endangered that every panda cub is important," Kelly said.

The panda exhibit was closed indefinitely. Early Sunday afternoon, there was still a sign outside the panda house announcing the cub's birth, and many visitors were unaware of the death.

At the zoo's panda-themed gift shop, Diana Salguero, 24, of Manassas, Va., was trying on a headband with panda ears when she learned from a reporter about the cub's death.

"I want to cry right now," she said. "I'm heartbroken. I've been excited all week. That's why I came out today."
