Top 10 College Baseball Stadiums: 3. Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium (Florida State)
? July 31, 2013Posted in: ACC, CBD Column 
Florida State baseball has made a name for themselves over the past few years, and Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium has been their stage. Opened in 1983, Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium?s architecture is unparalleled; the gorgeous architecture and field make this a premiere destination to play ball. Seminole fans seem to agree with the beauty of their team and field, as they continuously pack the stadium year after year. In 2013, the Seminoles ranked eighth in Division I attendance, averaging close to 4,600 fans a game; they are annually a guest of the top 10 rankings. Mike Martin Field has also become to go-to destination for Regional games, as the Seminoles have hosted 26 games in the 30 years the stadium has been opened; there have also been five Super Regionals held at the field since the new postseason format was introduced. If you?re looking to fill time before the game, head on over to the first base stands. This is where the Mike Loynd Tradition Room is located; fans and visitors alike can learn about the rich tradition and history of the Florida State baseball program. There?s information about All-Americans, former Seminoles in the pros, as well as the World Series teams. Another wall in the room is lined with trophies won by the Seminoles in recent World Series and conference championships, as well as the Golden Spikes awards of Lyond, Mike Fuentes, J.D. Drew, and Buster Posey. When people come to visit the home of the Seminoles, they are treated to what Eric Sorenson calls the third best big game atmosphere in the country. They also contribute to the standard set by the Seminole faithful, with the record attendance in a season being set over the 100,000 mark nine times over the last 10 years. The stadium was renamed in 1988 to commemorate Dick Howser, who was Florida State?s first All-American player and a former Kansas City Royal, while the actual field was dedicated in 2005 for current Florida State head coach Mike Martin. Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium isn?t just a pretty place to watch a ballgame, it?s also a winning place for the Seminoles; the team is 822-162-1 overall on their home turf.

Carl's Jr. offered the Strawberry Pop-Tart Ice Cream Sandwich for a limited time in California. Social media outcry following the treat's discontinuation inspired the fast food chain to?bring it back nationwide.?
And this time around, the strawberry Pop Tart ice cream sandwich even got its own commercial, which breaks away from Carl's Jr.'s "half-naked model seductively eating a hamburger" marketing tactic. Apparently the Pop Tart treat is attention grabbing enough on its own.
Ad agency 72andSunny coupled the Strawberry Pop-Tart Ice Cream Sandwich with?Richard Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra," the theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey," to promote the epic dessert.
The sandwich was offered at select Carl's Jr.'s and recent brought back at all locations for a limited time after social media outcry.?

New Blood Test Could Definitively Diagnose Alzheimer's Disease
We're all painfully aware that there isn't a cure for Alzheimer's. There isn't even a reliable way to diagnose it.

'Masters of Sex' takes explicit look at sexuality
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) ? There's so much sex depicted on a new cable TV series about researchers Masters and Johnson that filming it became ho-hum for star Michael Sheen.
"I never thought I would get used to having a naked woman in front of me masturbating ... but I actually broke that barrier on the show," Sheen, who plays researcher William Masters, said Tuesday.
He plays opposite Lizzy Caplan as co-researcher and future wife Virginia Johnson in Showtime's "Masters of Sex," an explicit depiction of the pair and their groundbreaking mid-20th century scientific investigation of human sexuality.
The series, based on Thomas Maier's 2009 nonfiction book, debuts Sept. 29 on Showtime. Johnson died last week at age 88 in St. Louis. She was divorced from Masters, who died in 2001.
Sheen, whose film credits include "The Queen," said the story remains pertinent because the same "problems of intimacy" and making connections with people apply today.
During a Q&A session with the Television Critics Association, the difficulty of talking about sex publicly became apparent. One reporter asked the cast and producers how the series can include humor without appearing to titter at sexuality.
"We just had a slightly inappropriate look into your sex life. We all thank you for that," Sheen replied, drolly.
Caplan (TV's "True Blood," ''New Girl") said the researchers' work at Washington University in St. Louis and later at their own institute was especially important for women, allowing them to understand and accept their sexuality as healthy.
"Before Masters and Johnson, no one was telling women that. It was always their own fault," Caplan said. "And that's some (baloney)."
The series embellished some characters but "stuck to the facts very carefully," said producer Michelle Ashford. "Certainly (with) the research, we fudged none of that."
Masters and Johnson became big celebrities who were the topic of late-night talk show hosts and on the cover of news magazines. Their work drew some criticism, especially in an era when sex was seldom discussed in public and certainly not in detail.
The cast, asked whether filming sex scenes proved embarrassing, said there was a painstaking effort to protect the actors by making the production "comfortable and safe," Sheen said.
Cast member Teddy Sears recalled director John Madden saying, "I want to protect your modesty," then mimicked the British Madden giving a stage direction: "Grab her bum."
Doing repeated takes of one clinical sex scene turned out to be "decidedly unsexy after a while," Sears said.
The panelists, including executive producer Sarah Timberman, said they were not in touch with Johnson because they'd wanted to respect her privacy.
"She wanted to live out her the last few years of her life not in the limelight," Caplan said.
Johnson "bared her soul in the book (by Maier) and then was done with that," said producer Ashford.

World?s first test-tube burger to be served in London this week
Could a burger made from artificial meat be the next generation of prime beef patties?
The world?s first 5-ounce test-tube burger, made of meat grown in a laboratory, will be served up in London this week, according to a report by The Independent.
RELATED: FOOD & WINE REVEALS 'BEST BURGERS IN AMERICA'
The burger costs more than $380,000 to make, composed of 3,000 tiny strips of meat grown from the stem cells of one cow.
?Right now, we are using 70% of all our agricultural capacity to grow meat through livestock,? professor Mark Post of Maastricht University in Holland told ?The Independent.? ?You are going to need alternatives. If we don?t do anything, meat will become a luxury food and will become very expensive.?
RELATED: FOUR NEW BURGER JOINTS MUSCLE THEIR WAY INTO NYC
Developers hope to meet the increasing global demand for protein and minimize the need for herds of cattle with a four-step process used to turn stems cells from animal flesh into burgers.
First, the stem cells are stripped from the cow?s muscle and then incubated until they multiply to create a sticky tissue. The muscle cells are then grown under tension and stretched. Finally, the lab-grown meat and animal fat are minced and turned into burgers.
RELATED: SEE AMERICA'S BEST BURGERS FROM CHAIN RESTAURANTS
The process could take up to six weeks to get from stem cell to supermarket shelves, but before it can be commercialized, the Food Standards Agency must provide information showing the process is safe for public consumption and has a nutritional value equivalent to regular meat.
For now, the battle may just be turning the public onto the idea of eating the artificial patty.

Nexus 7 (2012) getting performance boost with Android 4.3 update
The new Nexus 7 is the hot tablet in the Android world right now and while there are some decent improvements in terms of the specs, that doesn?t mean your older model Nexus 7 will instantly turn into trash. Then again, some of those older model Nexus 7 tablets have been suffering from serious lag issues in recent months.
If you happen to have a 2012 model Nexus 7 that is sluggish ? the Android 4.3 update should bring some improvement. It seems the issue of sluggishness with the Nexus 7 is due to a feature called TRIM. This is described as being something that basically acts as a garbage collector picking up the trash.
The folks at AnandTech mention how TRIM will run when your tablet is idle with the screen off and sitting with a battery life of 70 percent or greater. The issue with the previous model Nexus 7 is that while TRIM support has been around since Android 4.2 ? it wasn?t enabled. And regardless of how good a feature can be, if it is turned off then it will not do anything.
Anyway, looking forward you will likely want to grab that Android 4.3 update because it has enabled fstrim. The one important factor to remember ? this is not an instant fix. In other words, you are not going to have a magically faster Nexus 7 immediately after your tablet first boots into Android 4.3.
Instead you should update, make sure you have a good battery life and let your tablet sit so this can work some magic. That all being said, while it is nice to see Google has addressed this issue with the 4.3 update, this was something that could have been taken care of in the past. There are some ?fstrim? related apps in Google Play, however those were limited to those who had rooted their tablet.

Johnson defends flyweight title beating Moraga
SEATTLE (AP) ? Demetrious Johnson used an armbar on John Moraga late in the fifth round and successfully defended his UFC flyweight championship with a submission victory Saturday night before a partisan hometown crowd.
Johnson, making the second defense of the flyweight crown, controlled most of the fight, then ended it at 3:43 of the fifth round, bending Moraga's right arm to the point referee Herb Dean stopped the fight. Johnson (18-2-1) leaped to his feet with four spinning kicks in the center of the ring to celebrate his title defense.
The co-main event saw young Canadian star Rory MacDonald (15-1) take a unanimous decision over Jake Ellenberger (29-7) in a welterweight fight that left the crowd cascading boos after the much-anticipated matchup failed to live up to its billing. But MacDonald's strategy of avoiding Ellenberger's big punches worked and ran his winning streak to five.
In other fights on the main card, Robbie Lawler used a huge kick to floor Bobby Voelker in a second-round knockout. Liz Carmouche also had a second-round victory, stopping Brazil's Jessica Andrade in her UFC debut.
It was a dominant performance for Johnson, fighting less than an hour from his home in Parkland. From the start, Johnson had the home crowd on his side as the chant of "Mighty Mouse! Mighty Mouse!" ? Johnson's nickname ? started almost immediately.
Johnson controlled the fight with takedowns and retaining top control. He nearly got a choke submission on Moraga at the end of the first round, then pinned Moraga's arms and unloaded punches to his stomach in the second. Johnson regularly took Moraga (13-2) to the mat and nearly ended the fight with an armbar submission late in the third round, only to see Moraga slide free.
Moraga's best chance in the fight came late in the fourth round when he caught Johnson with a right hand that stunned the champion. Johnson stumbled back against cage, but quickly regained control, bouncing off the fencing and taking the charging Moraga to the mat. The punch left Johnson's nose bloodied, but the champion never let Moraga mount any offense in the final round and was finally able to get the armbar on Moraga.
MacDonald entered the No. 3 ranked contender in the 170-pound welterweight division, while Ellenberger was ranked No. 4. It wasn't an elimination bout for a shot at champion Georges St. Pierre, especially because MacDonald has said numerous times he has no interest in fighting his training partner and mentor.
The fight might have been boring, but MacDonald was determined not to get caught by Ellenberger's noted punches.
Ellenberger got a few shots in early as blood started trickling from MacDonald's nose late in the first round, but that was the extent of the excitement for the first 10 minutes. The tactical first two rounds drew loud boos from the unhappy crowd, with MacDonald landing most of the punches that were thrown.
Ellenberger recorded a takedown with 1 minute left in the fight, but MacDonald's ground defense was excellent. MacDonald winning 30-27 on two scorecards and 29-28 on the other.
Lawler was impressive in his victory. Within the first 2 minutes, Voelker's nose was bloodied as Lawler (21-9) landed an array of hooks, high knees and kicks to Voelker's face. Voelker (24-10) made it through the first round barely, but didn't last long in the second. Lawler landed a left-footed kick to the side of Voelker's head that sent him to the canvas and two punches later the fight was over at 24 seconds of the second round.
Andrade (9-3) was making her UFC debut coming up from Brazil, while Carmouche was a headliner just a few months ago when she lost to women's champ Ronda Rousey at UFC 157. Carmouche (8-3) gained control and started landing heavy punches early in the second round. Carmouche spent more than 2 minutes battering Andrade's head before the fight was finally stopped at 3:57 of the second round.

Students Encouraged to be Leaders for Animals this School Year ...
July?29,?2013
Lisa J. Godfrey/for The HSUS
It?s back to school season, and students can make this school year more humane by making fun, school friendly decisions that have a positive impact on animals.
?Young people are increasingly at the forefront of the animal welfare movement,? said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States. ?They are learning about the issues, educating their parents and classmates, and making practical decisions that improve the lives of animals.?
Some ideas for making the 2013-2014 school year humane include:
Educate your classmates. It?s the best way to make a change. Use research projects, term papers and other assignments as opportunities to educate your classmates about important animal issues. Visit our School Project Help page for ideas and background information about many animal issues.
Elementary school students will enjoy Kind News (humanesociety.org/kindnews), a magazine filled with colorful articles, short features and fun activities that children and teachers love, emphasizing treating animals with kindness and respect. Home and classroom subscriptions are available and come in three reading levels: Primary Edition (grades K-2), Junior Edition (grades 3-4), and Senior Edition (grades 5-6). Classrooms can also observe Be Kind to Animals Week, Adopt-a-Dog month and other observances.
Start or join a club. Starting or joining an animal protection student club is a great way to spread the word about animal issues in your school, and bond with classmates who have a passion for animal protection. Learn how to start a student club here.
Make biology class more humane. Students and teachers can choose to use alternatives to dissection, and our student action page on dissection provides guidance for students and teachers who want to create a humane biology classroom at their school.
Help your local animal shelter or rescue. Most organizations need blankets, toys and other supplies to care for their animals. Organize a drive to provide those supplies to your local shelter or rescue, or ask your classmates to donate their spare change to help animals in need. Service-learning hours can be fulfilled helping out at the shelter after school and on weekends. For more tips on how you can help your local shelter or rescue visit humanesociety.org/youthvolunteer.
Encourage your school to join the Meatless Monday movement. Meatless meals are delicious and humane. Many schools, universities and hospitals nationwide have implemented Meatless Monday programs to improve public health, promote environmental sustainability and reduce animal suffering. Click here to find out how to help your school join this growing movement.?
Make compassion your fashion. Take a stand against cruelty and join our Fur-free Facebook page and reference our handy fur-free shopping guide. Spread the word that compassionate fashion saves raccoon dogs, foxes, rabbits and other furbearers from needless suffering.
Be Cruelty-Free is the new trend: raise your voice against animal testing of cosmetics and visit our cosmetic testing page to learn more. For the new school year, choose your shampoo, styling gel, lip gloss or other cosmetics from a cruelty-free brand that you can find at leapingbunny.org.
Put your education to work. Local animal organizations are often in need of people with talent in art, photography, computer programming and web design; offer to put the skills you are learning at school into practice for them. Helping animal shelters or rescues may be a good way to receive credit if your school requires public service hours for graduation. Contact your local animal welfare organization directly to find out more, or visit humanesociety.org/volunteer.
Learn about animal protection. Middle and high school students can enroll in free online courses at Humane Academy (humanesociety.org/humaneacademy). Course offerings include how to strengthen animal cruelty laws, dissection alternatives and how to speak up on behalf of animals to lawmakers.
For more information and other ideas for students interested in speaking up for animals, visit humanesociety.org/students.

Facebook to make capital investments worth $1.6 billion in 2013
New York: Social networking giant Facebook, whose user base is expanding primarily on the back of rising penetration in emerging markets like India and Brazil, will make capital investments worth $1.6 billion this year.
In the first half of this year, the California-based firm incurred a capital expenditure of $595 million on setting up data centres and storage infrastructure, among others.
Besides, Facebook shelled out $221 million on acquisitions and other assets such as patents.
"We anticipate making capital expenditures in 2013 of approximately USD 1.6 billion," Facebook said in a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Industry watchers feel that the company will be looking to capitalise on its user numbers and its mobile advertising base.
Bolstered by rising number of users in high growth markets like India and Brazil, Facebook raked in 61 per cent $1.60 billion -- of its total revenues from advertising in the second quarter of this year.
Internet major Google, which is also competing with Facebook, generated 92 per cent of its revenues from its advertisers in the six months ended June 30.
Facebook's investment plans for increasing infrastructure would get a boost as it posted strong second quarter results helped by a surge in userbase and rising mobile ad revenue, which now represents 41 per cent of its total revenue from advertising, they added.
Facebook posted a net income of $333 million for the April-June quarter against a loss of USD 157 million in year-ago period. Its revenue totalled $1.81 billion in the second quarter, an increase of 53 per cent, compared with $1.18 billion in the second quarter of 2012.
"Cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2013 primarily resulted from $595 million for capital expenditures related to the purchase of servers, networking equipment, storage infrastructure and the construction of data centres," Facebook said
It also spent $221 million on acquisitions of businesses and other assets like patents, according to the filing.
On the back of surging user base in the emerging markets of India and Brazil, the social networking giant saw its monthly active users jump 21 per cent to 1.15 billion at the end of June 2013.
"Users in India and Brazil represented key sources of growth in the second quarter of 2013 relative to the prior year," Facebook has said.
The firm's global daily active users (DAUs) rose by 27 per cent to 699 million on average during June 2013 from 552 million during June 2012, again helped by growth in India, Brazil and other markets

Moto X gesture-tastic camera app makes cameo in leaked APK
We already know the camera app for the Moto X (and Droid Ultra, MAXX and Mini) will feature a minimalistic, gesture-based UI, but the clever souls over at Android Police went one step further and recently leaked an APK of the app. The file (later pulled and cached here) installs just fine on many devices but lacks some functionality. We tested it on a Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) and it worked okay, mostly. HDR and slow-motion video recording are disabled, panorama mode crashes and Quick Capture (double-twist your wrist to launch the camera) is not operational.
Still, the camera UI is ultra simple -- swipe right for the settings, left for the gallery, up /down to zoom; tap to capture, and hold to take multiple shots. The resulting pictures (16:9 aspect ratio) look pretty much like those snapped with the stock Android camera, and suffer from the same composition issues since the viewfinder crops the right edge of every image. It'll be interesting to see if any of this changes when we finally get our hands on the Moto X next week. Until then, check out the gallery of screenshots below and sound off about the APK in the comments.

Sahara Force India's Sutil will start tomorrow’s Hungarian GP from P11
Adrian Sutil (Q2: 1:20.569, P11): ?The first part of qualifying was quite tricky and it was difficult to deliver the pace we expected.
Adrian Sutil, Sahara Force India VJM06
I had a good feeling with the car, but we were not especially quick and I was only P15 by the end of Q1. I did not really know where we were losing out, but the team made some adjustments and that improved things for Q2.My lap times were much better and for a while it looked like I was going to make the top ten, but then I got pushed down to P11 at the last moment. I?m happy with my lap and that was the limit for me today. P11 is a good place to start because it leaves us with more of a choice about the tyre strategy. The goal tomorrow is to push forward and try to score some points.?
Paul Di Resta (Q1: 1:22.043, P18): ?A tough session and I am a bit confused as to why we struggled so much on the soft tyre. Throughout all the sessions we?ve looked more competitive on the softs, but in Q1 they just didn?t switch on. We?ve given ourselves a lot of work to do tomorrow, but we will go away and come back refreshed and ready to fight.
We need to move forward so we will think hard tonight about the strategy, but at least we have plenty of new tyres available. I think the main puzzle we need to solve is what happened to our performance today so that we can bounce back tomorrow.?
Otmar Szafnauer, Chief Operating Officer: ?Finding the sweet spot with both cars has proved difficult this weekend and I think we saw the result of that in today?s qualifying performance. Adrian squeezed through to Q2 and set a time good enough to put him on the cusp of the top ten. That?s about where we expected our performance level to be and hopefully he can score points tomorrow.
The changes made to Paul?s car ahead of qualifying certainly helped our performance on the medium tyres, but he struggled for speed on the softs. That?s something we will try to understand tonight because we expected him to be much higher up the grid. It?s a tough track for overtaking, but we will do all we can to give Paul a strategy to bring him into the points.?

Hostage-taker, six others killed in Florida apartment shooting
By Jane Sutton
MIAMI (Reuters) - Seven people were shot and killed at an apartment building in a Miami suburb early Saturday, including the suspected gunman who was holding two hostages when a SWAT team moved in, police said.
The hostages were rescued unharmed, Hialeah Police Sergeant Eddie Rodriguez told NBC News.
The standoff began on Friday evening during an argument between the gunman and the husband and wife who ran the apartment complex. Their bodies were among the six found after the SWAT team moved in on Saturday morning, police said.
The gunman lived in a fourth-floor apartment with his mother, the Miami Herald quoted the landlords' daughter, Shamira Pisciotti, as saying.
The couple, 78-year-old Italo Pisciotti and 68-year-old Samira Pisciotti, went to the unit to discuss a problem with the gunman, who opened fire and killed them both, their daughter told the newspaper.
Three other victims were found shot to death in that building and one was walking into a building across the street when the gunman shot him from a balcony, police said.
The shooter was barricaded inside a fifth-floor apartment with the two hostages when police negotiators made contact with him during the night. The SWAT team swarmed in after the talks broke down about 2 a.m., the Herald said.
The apartment complex in the blue-collar, mostly Hispanic community housed about 90 families.

Fed's Lacker says exit from bond-buying program must be quick
BERLIN (Reuters) - The U.S. central bank must end its bond-buying program quickly and an end to the program was "in sight", a senior Federal Reserve official said in a German magazine on Saturday.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke jolted markets in late May with plans to ease back on stimulus efforts once the economy improves. The Fed is likely to reduce its monthly bond purchases later this year and stop them altogether by mid-2014, as long as the economic recovery unfolds as expected, Bernanke has said.
"We must make our exit from the bond-buying program quick," Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker, one of the Fed's most fiscally conservative officials and a persistent critic of the latest round of bond buying, said in WirtschaftsWoche.
"An end to these bond purchases came into sight at the latest Fed meeting," said Lacker, who is not among the Fed policymakers who will vote on monetary policy this year.
Lacker pointed to relatively low inflation and said a faster-than-expected fall in the U.S. jobless rate was sufficient to start winding down the program.
"First of all we should end the monthly purchases of mortgage bonds as quickly as possible," Lacker said in the interview. It was not the central bank's role to give any sector preferential support, he said.
Lacker said the United States had made hardly any progress in cutting its debt and had instead only come up with temporary solutions for several months at a time.
He said he hoped the Fed's planned scaling back of bond purchases this year and rising interest rates would force the U.S. Congress to agree more quickly on reducing debt. "We need a sustainable solution and the sooner the better," he said.
Whoever takes the helm at the Fed when Bernanke's term as chairman ends in January 2014 must find a way to exit the bond-buying program without shocking the markets, Lacker said.
He said the quantitative easing program had done little to boost the economy, and the U.S. economy would grow by 2 percent this year and by no more than 2.25 percent next year - lower than the 2.8 percent in 2013 and 3 percent in 2014 forecast by other Fed policymakers - as consumers remain cautious.
Lacker said more needed to be done on drawing up rules to avoid future government bank rescues and said stress tests done in the United States were a step in the right direction.

India: Army Mistook Planets for Spy Drones
Maybe these guys should get out more and look at the sky occasionally to avoid international border wars. The Indian Army has been monitoring what they thought to be Chinese spy drones for six months and accused China of incursions into India. Cooler heads prevailed when it was discovered the ?drones? were actually Jupiter and Venus.
"Our task was to determine whether these unidentified objects were celestial or terrestrial," astronomer Tushar Prabhu told the paper. Only once the objects' movements were noted in relation to the stars were they identified as planets.

STOCKS NEWS MIDEAST-Egypt may fall sharply; Kuwait optimistic on elections
0530 GMT - Egypt's bourse may fall sharply on Sunday after security forces shot dead dozens of supporters of ousted president Mohamed Mursi, escalating the country's political crisis.
Thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters were hunkered down in a vigil at a Cairo mosque on Sunday, vowing to stand their ground despite a threat by the authorities to disperse them "soon".
After surging 20 percent from its late June low, the stock market started to pull back late last week because of concern about the possibility of violence at the weekend.
Although it bounced from Thursday's lows, showing bargain-hunting interest, fresh buying may be deterred by the prospect that the military-backed government's aggressive stance towards Mursi supporters may backfire, leading to protracted conflict rather than an end to street protests.
The stock index, which ended Thursday at 5,353 points, has initial technical support at the July 8 low of 5,123 points; any clean break below that level would trigger a double top pointing down to around 4,800.
The fresh violence could push the U.S. government to take a stance on whether the ousting of Mursi was a coup or not, endangering over $1 billion a year in U.S. military aid to Egypt. Aid from some other international bodies such as the European Union may also be hit.
KUWAIT ELECTIONS
In Kuwait, citizens voted for the sixth time in seven years on Saturday in a parliamentary election boycotted by the main Islamist and populist opposition. Results are expected in coming hours.
Investors are generally optimistic that, partly because of a partial opposition boycott, the election will produce a parliament willing to cooperate with the government on long-delayed economic development plans. Any confirmation of this could boost stock prices.
In the United Arab Emirates, Dubai-listed construction firm Arabtec could fall after its rights issue of 1.56 billion new shares at 1.50 dirhams each; the new shares will start trading on Sunday.
Arabtec said in early July that its 2.4 billion dirham ($653 million) rights issue was nearly 30 percent oversubscribed. The stock last closed at 2.25 dirhams, leaving considerable room for investors who bought in the rights issue to start taking profits.
Global cues for the markets are mixed. The U.S. dollar fell to a five-week low on Friday on expectations that the Federal Reserve will underline its intention to keep interest rates low for a long time at its upcoming policy meeting.

WSU assistant coach suspended by NCAA for Montana violations
OGDEN -- Weber State offensive coordinator Robin Pflugrad has been suspended by the NCAA for one game for violations committed while he was the head coach at Montana.
Pflugrad will not be allowed to coach between Aug. 26 and the end of Weber State?s home opener Aug. 31 against Stephen F. Austin, WSU officials announced Friday. Associate coach Steve Morton will serve as offensive coordinator during that game.
The University of Montana and Pflugrad were penalized for failure to monitor the football program, according to a statement from the NCAA. The Division I Committee on Infractions found that Grizzlies boosters ?provided extra benefits to football players, including meals, free legal representation and bail bond payments, a small loan, clothing, lodging, transportation and laundry services. Additionally, the football team exceeded coaching limits and two former student-athletes competed while ineligible.?
The NCAA?s investigation found that Pflugrad was aware that boosters posted bail for two football players but did not report it, while former athletics director Jim O?Day and other senior department members were aware boosters were providing legal assistance.
In addition to the suspension, Pflugrad is restricted from off-campus evaluations during the fall, from off-campus recruiting during the first three weeks of the fall and required attendance at an NCAA rules seminar.
Montana?s penalties include three years of probation, the loss of four scholarships from 2014-17, vacating of five wins from 2011 season in games ineligible athletes played, a $3,000 donation to a local charity, the loss of two student assistant coaching positions this season or next and an external review of Montana?s compliance program.
In 2011, Pflugrad?s second season, the Grizzlies were 11-3 (7-1 Big Sky Conference), tied for the league title and won twice in the FCS playoffs before losing in the semifinal to Sam Houston State.
Pflugrad and Montana athletics director Jim O?Day were fired my university president Royce Engstrom in March 2012.
?The administration, coaches and staff of Weber State University are strongly committed to upholding NCAA rules with the highest degree of integrity,? WSU athletics director Jerry Bovee said in a statement released by the school. ?Robin Pflugrad has been a positive addition to the Weber State University football coaching staff and has been forthcoming and cooperative in addressing issues related to his employment as head coach at the University of Montana.
?We were well aware of the potential sanctions facing Coach Pflugrad during the hiring process but concluded that Robin would contribute positively to our program. Coach Pflugrad has cooperated fully with the NCAA and accepts the imposed sanctions and is now looking forward to having this matter behind him so that he can assist Coach Sears and our staff in building a successful football program at Weber State.?

Brenda Bailey Gershkovitch, la pr?sidente du studio, d?clare : ? Regardez l'?clat de Cinquante nuances de Grey l'ann?e derni?re. La fiction de romance a une ?norme audience que personne d'autre dans l'industrie du jeu essaye d'atteindre. Les jeux vid?o explorent traditionnellement les fantasmes masculins : gagner un combat, une comp?tition dans le sport, sauver la princesse. Nous chez Silicon Sisters aimons certains de ces jeux, comme le font beaucoup d'autres femmes, mais un jeu qui se penche sp?cifiquement dans des fantasmes f?minins - ? quoi est-ce que cela ressemble ? C'est une question ? laquelle nous essayons de r?pondre avec Everlove ?.
Everlove sera un jeu dans lequel l'h?ro?ne rencontrera de nombreux beaux m?les (habituellement, dans les jeux vid?o c'est le contraire...), ? la recherche de l'amour. Il prend la forme d'un livre interactif dans un univers fantastique, avec des phases d'objets cach?s. Esp?rons qu'il ne sera pas trop complexe ? jouer pour des femmes !
Le jeu met en sc?ne une femme du nom de Rose, qui sous hypnose regresse dans des vies ant?rieures afin de mieux comprendre ses probl?mes personnels. Elle est transport?e dans le village pastoral de Heart's Home, o? elle d?couvre qu'elle est attir?e par plusieurs de ses habitants. En cr?ant des relations, en d?couvrant des secrets cach?sn le joueur d?finit le caract?re de Rose.
Everlove est pr?vu en ao?t sur iPhone/iPad et Android, puis ensuite sur PC/Mac. Dans le pass?, Silicon Sisters avait travaill? sur Studio 26 (plus de 700 000 t?l?chargements dans une trentaine de pays), un jeu casual et mobile destin? aux adolescentes bas? sur les relations entre personnes dans un lyc?e. De l'humour s'est cach? dans cet article, ch?res lectrices, le trouverez-vous ?

HP to target back-to-school crowd with $99 Android tablet
Fresh off Google?s announcement that it will launch a Textbook section in its Play store, a new report claims?HP is planning a low-cost tablet to target the back-to-school crowd.?According to Digitimes, HP and Walmart will partner to sell a $99 Android tablet in the coming weeks. The device is said to be equipped with a 7-inch display and a single-core Intel Medfield processor. HP will be the first major vendor to release a sub-$100 tablet, which some industry insiders believe could pressure other companies to follow suit. The low-end specs, however, will make HP?s new tablet a harder sell than devices like the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire. Google on Wednesday announced that it has partnered?with the five largest textbook publishers ? Cengage, Wiley, Pearson, McGraw-Hill and Macmillan ? to allow customers to buy or rent discounted digital textbooks.?The company?s new education hub will launch in August.

Pope Francis shows his rebel side in Rio, telling pilgrims to shake up the church
RIO DE JANEIRO - Pope Francis showed his rebel side Thursday, urging young Catholics to shake up the church and make a "mess" in their dioceses by going out into the streets to spread the faith. It's a message he put into practice by visiting one of Rio's most violent slums and opening the church's World Youth Day on a rain-soaked Copacabana Beach.
Francis was elected pope on a mandate to reform the church, and in four short months he has started doing just that: He has broken long-held Vatican rules on everything from where he lays his head at night to how saints are made. He has cast off his security detail to get close to his flock, and his first international foray as pope has shown the faithful appreciate the gesture.
Dubbed the "slum pope" for his work with the poor, Francis received a rapturous welcome in the Varginha shantytown, part of a slum area of northern Rio so violent it's known as the Gaza Strip. The 76-year-old Argentine seemed entirely at home, wading into cheering crowds, kissing people young and old and telling them the Catholic Church is on their side.
"No one can remain insensitive to the inequalities that persist in the world!" Francis told a crowd of thousands who braved a cold rain and stood in a muddy soccer field to welcome him. "No amount of peace-building will be able to last, nor will harmony and happiness be attained in a society that ignores, pushes to the margins or excludes a part of itself."
It was a message aimed at reversing the decline in the numbers of Catholics in most of Latin America, with many poor worshippers leaving the church for Pentecostal and evangelical congregations. Those churches have taken up a huge presence in favelas, or shantytowns such as Varginha, attracting souls with nuts-and-bolts advice on how to improve their lives.
The Varginha visit was one of the highlights of Francis' weeklong trip to Brazil, his first as pope and one seemingly tailor-made for the first pontiff from the Americas.
The surprise, though, came during his encounter with Argentine pilgrims, scheduled at the last minute in yet another sign of how this spontaneous pope is shaking up the Vatican's staid and often stuffy protocol.
He told the thousands of youngsters, with an estimated 30,000 Argentines registered, to get out into the streets and spread their faith and make a "mess," saying a church that doesn't go out and preach simply becomes a civic or humanitarian group.
"I want to tell you something. What is it that I expect as a consequence of World Youth Day? I want a mess. We knew that in Rio there would be great disorder, but I want trouble in the dioceses!" he said, speaking off the cuff in his native Spanish. "I want to see the church get closer to the people. I want to get rid of clericalism, the mundane, this closing ourselves off within ourselves, in our parishes, schools or structures. Because these need to get out!"
Apparently realizing the radicalness of his message, he apologized in advance to the bishops at home.
Later Thursday, he travelled in his open-sided car through a huge crowd in the pouring rain to a welcoming ceremony on Copacabana beach. It was his first official event with the hundreds of thousands of young people who have flocked to Rio for World Youth Day. Vatican officials estimated the crowd at 1 million.
Cheering pilgrims from 175 nations lined the beachfront drive to catch a glimpse of the pontiff, with many jogging along with the vehicle behind police barricades. The car stopped several times for Francis to kiss babies ? and take a long sip of his beloved mate, the traditional Argentine tea served in a gourd with a straw, which was handed up to him by someone in the crowd.
After he arrived at the beach-front stage, though, the crowd along the streets melted away, driven home by the pouring rain that brought out vendors selling the plastic ponchos that have adorned cardinals and pilgrims alike during this unseasonably cold, wet week.
In an indication of the havoc wreaked by four days of steady showers, organizers made an almost unheard-of change in the festival's agenda, moving the Saturday vigil and climactic Sunday Mass to Copacabana Beach from a rural area 30 miles (50 kilometres) from the city centre. The terrain of the area, Guaratiba, had turned into a vast field of mud, making the overnight camping plans of pilgrims untenable.
The news was welcome to John White, a 57-year-old chaperone from the Albany, New York, diocese who attended the past five World Youth Days and complained that organization in Rio was lacking.
"I'm super relieved. That place is a mud pit and I was concerned about the kid's health and that they might catch hypothermia," he said. "That's great news. I just wish the organizers would have told us."
Francis' visit to the Varginha slum followed in the footsteps of Pope John Paul II, who visited two such favelas during a 1980 trip to Brazil, and Mother Teresa, who visited Varginha itself in 1972. Her Missionaries of Charity order has kept a presence in the shantytown ever since.
Like Mother Teresa, Francis brought his own personal history to the visit: As archbishop of Buenos Aires, then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio frequently preached in the poverty-wracked slums of his native city, putting into action his belief that the Catholic Church must go to the farthest peripheries to preach and not sit back and wait for the most marginalized to come to Sunday Mass.
Francis' open-air car was mobbed on a few occasions as he headed into Varginha's heavily policed, shack-lined streets, but he never seemed in danger. He was showered with gifts as he walked down one of the slum's main drags without an umbrella to shield him from the rain. A well-wisher gave him a paper lei to hang around his neck and he held up another offering ? a scarf from his favourite soccer team, Buenos Aires' San Lorenzo.
"Events like this, with the pope and all the local media, get everyone so excited," said Antonieta de Souza Costa, a 56-year-old vendor and resident of Varginha. "I think this visit is going to bring people back to the Catholic Church."
Addressing Varginha's residents, Francis acknowledged that young people in particular have a sensitivity toward injustice.
"You are often disappointed by facts that speak of corruption on the part of people who put their own interests before the common good," Francis told the crowd. "To you and all, I repeat: Never yield to discouragement, do not lose trust, do not allow your hope to be extinguished."
It was a clear reference to the violent protests that paralyzed parts of the country in recent weeks as Brazilians furious over rampant corruption and inefficiency within the country's political class took to the streets.
Francis blasted what he said was a "culture of selfishness and individualism" that permeates society today, demanding that those with money and power share their wealth and resources to fight hunger and poverty.
"It is certainly necessary to give bread to the hungry ? this is an act of justice. But there is also a deeper hunger, the hunger for a happiness that only God can satisfy," he said.
