Scientists map air pollution using corn grown in U.S. fields
Scientists at UC Irvine have mapped fossil fuel air pollution in the United States by analyzing corn collected from nearly 70 locations nationwide.
This novel way to measure carbon dioxide produced by burning coal, oil and natural gas will help atmospheric scientists better understand where pollution is located and how it mixes and moves in the air. Tracking fossil-fuel-emitted carbon dioxide will be important as countries throughout the world adhere to the Kyoto Protocol, an agreement among nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The United States signed the protocol, but the treaty has not been ratified by the U.S. Senate.
"Many nations are facing increasing pressure to monitor and regulate the release of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel sources to limit greenhouse gas warming," said James Randerson, associate professor of Earth system science at UCI and co-author of the study. "This method can help determine how much fossil fuel carbon dioxide is coming from different regions."
The study appears Jan. 23 in Geophysical Research Letters.
Atmospheric scientists typically measure carbon dioxide by collecting air samples, but this is the first time fossil-fuel-emitted carbon dioxide has been mapped using plants. This new method may complement existing air sampling techniques because plants provide a cost-effective way to record average daytime conditions over several months. Plants take in carbon dioxide gas, from both background and fossil fuel sources, during photosynthesis, and it becomes part of the plant tissue.
In summer 2004, UCI scientists collected corn from farms and gardens in 31 states, including Hawaii and Alaska. They chose corn because it is widely grown and, as an annual plant, all of its carbon is derived from a single growing season. The scientists avoided pollution point sources such as highways and power plants to allow for mapping of regional patterns across different states. Back in the laboratory, the scientists dried samples of corn leaves and husks, then converted them to graphite using a series of chemical reactions. The graphite then was analyzed in the W.M. Keck Carbon Cycle Accelerator Mass Spectrometer, which measures a rare isotope of carbon, called radiocarbon. Carbon dioxide derived from fossil fuels contains no radiocarbon so it is easily distinguishable from other sources. With measurements from this machine, scientists calculated overall levels of carbon dioxide produced by fossil fuels at the location where the corn samples were collected.
California and the Ohio Valley had the most fossil-fuel-emitted carbon dioxide, while the Colorado region had the least. The scientists expected pollution from California and other western coastal states to drift east, but they found that the Rocky Mountains appeared to provide a barrier for the movement of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels.
Air in the Mountain West, including Colorado, Idaho and New Mexico, was the cleanest, with about 370 parts per million of carbon dioxide. Air in the Eastern United States, which includes Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New York, contained an additional 2.7 parts per million of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel sources. Air in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia had nearly twice as much additional carbon dioxide from fossil fuels, 4.3 parts per million.
"We have to better understand emission patterns and changes in the atmosphere in order to better regulate fossil fuels," said Susan Trumbore, also a professor of Earth system science and co-author of the study. "This is a direct way to measure the release of carbon dioxide emissions that are contributing to climate warming."
Diana Hsueh was the lead author and conducted the research as a UCI undergraduate. UCI researchers John Southon and Xiaomei Xu also contributed to this study, along with Nir Krakauer from the California Institute of Technology. This research was funded by the National Science Foundation and NASA.

Who was/is Brook Benton ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD and more
Brook Benton
It's Just A Matter Of Time
Brook Benton
It's Just A Matter Of Time
As Mercury Records' new head of east coast A&R, Clyde Otis lost no time signing his demo singer and occasional co-writer, Brook Benton. During the first session Benton and Otis recorded a song they'd worked up, It's Just A Matter Of Time. They'd written the song for Nat 'King' Cole, but Otis explained to Cole that he'd just landed the Mercury gig, and really wanted the song for Benton. The lyrics reflected Benton's frustration at his inability to score a hit as a singer. When confronted with his co-writer's frustration Otis would say, "It's just a matter of time, Brook." Otis ensured that it would appeal to the broadest cross-section of the market by employing a full string section.
However, there was a political dimension to the strings that went beyond merely broadening the base of appeal. "Historically," asserted Otis, "black artists wanted to record with strings because it had been something that had been denied them. The strings symbolized legitimacy. There weren't even any black string players working in the studios. When we organized Brook's first date I asked my contractor if there were any black string players. He said, 'Yes. They're working in Broadway shows and other pick-up jobs.' I said, 'Why don't they play record dates?' He said, 'Nobody calls them.' I said, 'If they're good, I want to see them on my sessions.'" Benton's intimate and crisply miked vocals looked back toward the relaxed ballad style of Arthur Prysock and Billy Eckstine and forward to the passion of soul music.
One of the selling points was Benton's low notes. He was singing deeper and with more feeling than on any of his previous recordings for other labels. The low notes were a legacy from an early R&B giant, Percy Mayfield. Benton had first used them on his demo of The Stroll. After his vocal arrangement had been successfully co-opted by the Diamonds, Benton resolved to use the low notes on his own recordings and perfected his technique. Otis also ensured that Brook rehearsed his vocal part for days before a session so that many of the nuances could be honed to perfection. "The people at Mercury said it was too quiet," said Otis. "Said it didn't rock and roll enough. So I took it to a dee-jay, Doctor Jive, asked him to play it. He called back and said the switchboard had lit up. The people at Mercury checked it out and found it was true." In January 1959, It's Just A Matter Of Time entered the charts, topping the R&B listings and peaking at #3 on the pop charts.
Both Benton and Otis had been vindicated in the strongest possible terms.

BERKELEY (CBS SF) — About 50 Berkeley High School students will be suspended and up to four could be expelled for a recently discovered scheme in which students hacked into the school's attendance system and sold cleared absences to classmates, school administrators said Wednesday.
School staff discovered the breach in the school's attendance system while reviewing student data a few weeks ago, according to Principal Pasquale Scuderi.
Administrators found that several student accounts in the school's attendance database, called Powerschool, appeared to have unauthorized changes to their attendance records last fall.
Further investigation revealed that at least four students got their hands on an administrative password that allows access to Powerschool, then logged in and cleared absences or tardy marks on classmates' records for a fee, Scuderi said.
The principal did not disclose how much money the students exchanged, but said an investigation by district technical staff and administrators showed that about 50 students participated in the scam.
"The degree of involvement ranged from what we now know was a few students literally selling the clearance of absences to those who may have accepted having a few absences or tardies cleared by a friend or acquaintance who gained access," the principal said in a statement.
Scuderi said he believes the expulsion of those students who launched the scam is an appropriate response, considering the number of administrative hours spent to investigate the scheme as well as the "flagrant dishonesty exhibited".
The principal said that while he is disappointed in the students, he hopes the incident will be a teachable moment for staff and parents and is encouraged by current attendance records for the school's 3,200 students.
The school's attendance record rose to 94 percent for the first seven months of the school year compared to 92 percent during the same period last year.
Over the past year, the school has made attendance a top priority, hiring a Dean of Attendance to oversee the school's attendance process and crack down on chronic truancy, the principal said.
Scuderi credited the school's addition this year of a Dean of Attendance as well as the school's teachers for keeping attendance levels high.

Harry Potter returns with grey hairs in new JK Rowling short story
Harry Potter has returned, in a short story posted online by J.K. Rowling that features her best-selling hero at a school reunion, approaching the age of 34 and showing a few grey hairs.
Written as an article in the fictional Daily Prophet newspaper under the headline "Dumbledore's Army Reunites at Quidditch World Cup Final", the 1,500-word story also features the two other main characters in the Harry Potter trio, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley – now married to each other.
Potter, Rowling writes, has clung to some aspects of his youth: "About to turn 34, there are a couple of threads of silver in the famous ... black hair, but he continues to wear the distinctive round glasses that some might say are better suited to a style-deficient 12-year-old."
As the trio watch the final of the Quidditch contest – the celebrated Hogwarts sport involving flying broomsticks and enchanted balls – Rita Skeeter, a vicious journalist from previous novels, discusses their lives in a gossip column.
The seven Harry Potter novels, the first of which was published in 1997, became the best-selling book series ever and has been adapted into a multibillion-dollar film franchise.

Moderator: Carleas
Mowk wrote:Thanks Merlin, I have some time, probably not enough.I agree philosophy should be accessible to everybody but there are some out there that can't understand or grasp it. I don't think your mind is that slow where comments about me slowing things I figure is just your way of condescension or detracting.
I may very well just 'be' that slow. It is prudent to ask that of myself every once in a while, I did not intend the condescension or distraction. I'll work on changing your mind on all that.I haven't made a case? Have you not looked at what I've said previously? Are you intentionally ignoring what I've said? Congratulations, you know of one of my old usernames. Everybody here knows including Carleas about the numerous old usernames I've had. No real new revelation there concerning ILP.
Sorry you have made "a" case, and I didn't get it. So let me back up a to what you've stated as you request.Given the extremes of censorship by other philosophy and political based forums I would like to thank Carleas for creating a free-thought or free-expression environment here. It's a message to other philosophy forums that there is at least one place on the internet where censorship doesn't prevail.
Working forward from here. I asked if we are talking about the same thing. The topic is civility and I'm confused my the mention of censorship. I don't believe I am asking Carleas to censor a subject or topic.Censorship is a form of bullying or intimidation on an intellectual scale.
I suppose it is a form of. So if I feel tactics like derogatory and demeaning language and saying people are laughing at you are bullying and intimidation on an intellectual scale, and censorship is a form, I'm still not asking Carleas to act as a censor.You like a few others here are international communists and Marxists under the banner of state democracy as disguise. That for me is enough to warrant a ghastly laugh.
(That disguise by the way no longer works as everybody is starting to figure our your collective aim and endgame for what it is. The jig is up.)
This is where I wanted to slow down. That sounds like name calling and the use of language that is intended as derogatory and demeaning. I guess I am not sure what you mean by Me and a few others are international communists and Marxists under a banner of state democracy as a disguise. I have read what you've said but I am not getting your meaning, it is occluded by the name calling, can you phrase the thinking without the string of labels? Can you specifically address how I evidence these characteristics?Well, for me since the 1960's liberal democracy in the west has been hijacked by Marxist communists. I say international because the goal by them is eventually a global socialist state.
It seems everywhere in the west we can see liberal democrats supporting globalist projects like the E.U. in Europe and NAFTA of the United States. (Then there is the TPP of the south pacific.)
Some radical Marxists assert things on identity like there is no such thing as race or the assimilation of all racial and cultural identity under the state's directive. They'll also say there is no sexual identity between men and women making it where there is only one unisex identity.
So yes, I believe liberal democracy in the west has been hijacked by radical globalist communists or Marxists. Every time I talk to a liberal democrat more and more they purely sound identical to communists or Marxists.
Essentially you are calling me a hippy.
With regard to race and my question of it and your criticism; Physical Anthropologists and Archeologists have this theory that we began as a species "human" from a common ancestral pairing. Races developed from differentiation as we moved around the planet and were exposed to different conditions. So yeah, I think it is sort of an odd phenomenon, that today we make our cultural and environment differentiation a distinction. When early man was in struggle for territory and resources, it was a common practice to kill all the males and rape all the females. That process mixed the genetic make up of the resulting survivors into a more homogeneous collection. We have a single origin, have differentiated, remixed, for likely our entire history as mankind on this planet. And it is quite likely the process will naturally result in a single race eventually, if we don't become extinct before then. (why I lean towards Green, but even that party looses much of its appeal by the time politics gets involved.) I am not clear why you think it is a problem. We go have gone out and explored and come together again to shared what we've become in the process. I too would be concerned if I thought it was under a state directive like Arianism.
To your argument of globalism. We have developed technology that allows us to move much more freely about the planet. There is no longer the geological isolation that caused us to develop into different races in the first place. We have begun the natural and historical process of remixing as a result, a sort of home coming, if you will. It is time, I think, that we share what we have become in the process. We have only had this technology for a short time relatively speaking. As a natural cycle it seems inevitable. I am not going to get all intelligent design on you, but it is an awareness that has colored my view of the world at large. I do start to wonder myself. If it happened entirely by accident, It is even more impressive.
So I am liberal, if this sort of thinking is what makes a person liberal. I am not strictly speaking a democrat, while I have leaned in that direction it isn't a party thing for me. I simply have agreed in the past with some key ideas expressed by democrats in the democratic/republican war in play. This home coming is not an easy thing to do. From a political perspective, I do see the need, in this reintegration, for ideas gleaned from socialism and communism as potentially helpful, but by the time they get turned into a party platform, I find the party practice, so far, a failure. Not so much because of the ideology, but our performance at it.
The corruption of it, democracy, socialism or communism, is not a flavor that I find appealing, but if I were to have to eat one, democracy is my choice.
From my experience usually when people discuss civility it is because they perceive a lack of civility and then they discuss about needing new rules or laws in enforcing civility which censorship is discussed right around the corner of all that. Interestingly enough I don't believe in civility in that I believe we live in a very uncivilized world and really the word civility doesn't mean much of anything at all. No, you haven't asked for censorship but some individuals here who have a similar philosophy to yours have in the past. People of the so called liberal democratic party of the United States have demanded censorship. This is why I'm a bit suspect initially.

I will, but I worry you're confusing "good philosophy" with "philosophy I agree with".
Recently, Generation, Tradition, and the Far Right was a good piece of social theory. His respective discussions of sex and race in the Feminism is Horse-Shit thread are good. His economic criticism of basically every economic proposal I've put forward has been sharp (especially wealth tax and basic income).
Less recently, my early arguments with Uccisore played a significant role my intellectual development, and so will always hold a special place in my heart (see lengthy threads here and here).

Canadian Army gunners train Latvians on newly acquired M109A50 self-propelled howitzers
Canada has a "raider" 'conflict tourism' attitude, at the political level.
Marine Corps Systems Command recently released a request for information on innovative ideas for equipping LAR battalions with a mounted indirect-fires capability, beginning in fiscal 2022, that could hit targets at ranges out to 100 kilometers, said Jeff Nebel, fire support coordination team lead for Program Manager Fires."We have identified a gap in the ability for LAR to provide indirect fire that extends further than their current capability," he said. "What we are looking to do is provide them with an organic indirect-fire capability that can reach out to extended ranges."The new capability would supplement the current 81mm mortars LAR companies use to support platoons operating forward, Nebel said."This would give them the ability to provide support to the platoon at ranges significantly greater than ... what they can currently do with the 81mm mortars," he said.

Peenemünde Arrow ShellsThe Peenemünde Arrow Shells were conceived and developed at the Aerodynamic Research Laboratories at Peenemünde from 1942 to 1945. The arrow shells were dart-like projectiles designed to be fired from special smooth-bore versions of standard German Army artillery pieces. The project was initially envisioned and designed as ultra-long-range shells using a 310mm smooth-bored version of the famed 280mm K5 railway gun (Anzio Annie). The arrow shell was 1.91m long and 120mm in caliber, with four fins at the tail 310mm across and a 310mm sabot or discarding ring around the middle of the shell (center of gravity). The ring was naturally discarded and would fell away outside the gun muzzle when fired, while the accelerating shell would reach a velocity of 1524m/sec and obtain a maximum range of 150km. Two guns were produced, and one of them fired in anger at the US 3rd Army located 125km away from the gun.There was an anti-aircraft version of the Peenemünde Arrow Shells. The projectile was designed for the 105mm FLAK 39 AA gun, with the goal to reach extremely high velocity so as to shorten flying time and eliminate the need to calculate aiming errors. The AA gunners would be able to aim, fire, and hit without having to worry about the speed of the aircraft and its altitude. During tests and experiments the shells obtained a muzzle velocity of 1067m/sec, which was considered excellent. Nevertheless, development had to be canceled since mass-production for combat use was impossible with the available production and industrial capacity of Germany.

The Jobaria (monster) is the most powerful 122 mm artillery rocket system ever built. This multiple launch rocket system has been developed in by United Arab Emirates in cooperation with Roketsan of Turkey to meet the UAE requirement. However final assembly of this system takes place in the UAE. The main goal was to put one battery of rocket launchers on one vehicle. This new multiple launch rocket system was first revealed in 2013 during IDEX exhibition held in Abu Dhabi. United Arab Emirates have received an undisclosed number of these artillery systems already.The Jobaria MLRS consists of Oshkosh Global HET 6x6 heavy equipment transporter, towing a 10-wheel semi-trailer with 4 power-operated rocket launchers. Each launcher has three pods with 20 rockets each. So this artillery rocket system carries a total of 240 122 mm rockets. A single Jobaria system replaces a full battery of rocket launchers mounted on 6 trucks with a crew of 30 men. Rockets have a maximum range of 37 km. A full salvo of the Jobaria covers an area of 4 km².Rockets are stored and launched from pods for rapid reloading and interchangeability of various calibers. Some sources claim that Jobaria is also capable of launching a total of 240 107 mm rockets, with a maximum range of about 11 km. Alternatively it can launch 16 TR-300 300 mm rockets with a maximum range of up to 100 km.This artillery system is operated by a crew of three. Crew members are seated inside and operate from protected cab. It's armor provides protection from small arms fire and artillery shell splinters. The cab also has NBC protection system. This artillery system is aimed and launches all it's rockets without crew leaving the vehicle.
In the interests of going from the sublime to the ridiculous, I present the "Jobaria" MLRS.https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=187&v=N4IYBF-0ajo

New Intel Itanium 2 Platforms Make Strides From Casinos To Space
Intel Corporation enhanced its entire line of Intel Itanium 2 processors delivering new versions of multi, dual and low voltage processors.
These new processors are the next step toward the goal of using computing platforms based on industry standards to gain more market segment share from the $20 billion proprietary RISC market segment.1
More than 70 OEMs are now shipping Itanium-based systems. The platform currently supports a choice of five leading operating systems and a vast suite of software applications, increasing the choice and flexibility of Itanium-based solutions for IT managers worldwide.
The Itanium 2 platform provides excellent computing advantages for transaction processing, data warehousing, business intelligence, enterprise resource planning (ERP) and high performance computing. This platform complements Intel Xeon processors with Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T) which are targeted at general purpose enterprise applications such as Web, workgroup, file, print, infrastructure, and application logic giving IT managers end-to-end 64-bit computing solutions.
"The multi-billion dollar RISC market segment is ripe for the Intel approach of delivering outstanding performance, choice of systems and software at more affordable price points," said Abhi Talwalkar, vice president and general manager of the Enterprise Platforms Group at Intel. "Today's enhancements to the Itanium 2 processor lineup will further support customer migration away from costly, proprietary systems."
Already, the new Itanium 2 processors are being deployed for mission-critical applications including powering one of the world's fastest supercomputer at NASA, a SGI Altix* system consisting of 10,240 Itanium 2 processors running the Linux operating system. Additionally, MGM MIRAGE, a leading and respected hotel and gaming company, has deployed a Unisys system with 16 Itanium 2 processors for a data-warehousing project based upon Microsoft Windows* Server 2003 and Microsoft SQL* Server 2000.
"Unisys ES7000* servers with Itanium 2 processors meet our needs for the massive data crunching and analysis we do on our customer data because of the reliability features and scalability they deliver for future growth," said Glenn Bonner, CIO for MGM MIRAGE.
The Bank of New York has deployed a four-way HP Integrity-based Itanium 2 processor server running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 as part of a global equity trading solution that enables them to manage growth in business volume and address increasing transaction complexities.
"We removed a critical hurdle to business growth and achieved 100 percent hardware ROI within three months by deploying our trading system on the Itanium 2 processor-based HP Integrity Servers running Windows," said Joseph Weisbord, chief technology officer, G-Trade Services Ltd, a broker-dealer subsidiary of The Bank of New York. "HP Integrity servers deliver substantial price performance benefits compared to proprietary RISC solutions and provide a rock solid foundation for business-critical applications like our 24-by-7 global equity trading platform."
Intel is refreshing the Itanium 2 product line with six new processors that deliver performance increases of 15 percent for database transaction processing and up to 35 percent for overall integer and floating point performance.2 The new processors include the Itanium 2 processor MP at 1.60 GHz with 9 MB level three (L3) cache at 400 MHz front side bus (FSB) for business critical applications such as database and ERP.

Universal Shock Therapy - Specialized Pre-Workout Booster Extreme Pumps And Energy!
This product is no longer in stock
Warning: Last items in stock!
Availability date:
The minimum purchase order quantity for the product is 1
If you are looking for a pre-workout shake that will help power you up for the gym and make you feel like hitting the plates, wait no longer. The nitric oxide (NO) activators, creatine and stimulants in this formula will energize you while helping to make you look more vascular and gain size. Universal Shock Therapy can actually motivate you to get into the gym and hit the weights! Unlike many of the other pre-workout NO products on the market, we include an antioxidant complex that is essential when taking nitric oxide stimulating ingredients, due to their oxidative nature on human cells. Now you can have the "perpetual pump," the intense workout you crave, and keep your body safe from the free radicals that are produced as a side effect of the nitric oxide activation process.
Why should you choose Universal Nutrition's Shock Therapy? It Works. If you want to get energized and motivated in the gym, Universal Shock Therapy is for you. This formula will make for some very intense workouts that will help you put up more weight and will ultimately result in mass gains. Your body will feel pumped all day from the blood rushing to your muscle tissue delivering needed nutrients for real growth. We don't use any sugar so there is no worry about fat gains. We use the best ingredients, from creatine all the way to our antioxidant blend. You won't find another product like Shock Therapy; it is truly unique amongst pre-workout energizers and cell volumizers.
It has a healthier formula. Since Shock Therapy helps your body produce more nitric oxide, you need an anti-oxidant complex to scavenge the harmful free radicals that are released as a result of the nitric oxide process. Our competitors aren't keeping your health in mind; we are.
It has a better formula. Universal Shock Therapy uses R-ALA to help shuttle the creatine and nitric oxide stimulating components into circulation, whereas the competition either does not use any form of alpha lipoic acid or uses the standard ALA, which has been shown to be less effective than R-ALA. Many individuals do not like to ingest aspartame and prefer sweeteners such as sucralose. Universal Shock Therapy does not use any aspartame, while some of the other popular products do.
So much of the pursuit of bodybuilding is mental. Physical effort, genetic predisposition, hard earned muscle? Yes, these are all obvious factors necessary for success in the gym. But without that mental edge, without that pinpoint focus, and the ability to generate the intensity needed to take your physique to the next level, you'll go nowhere. Such is the plight of the bodybuilder. The bigger and more advanced you are, the more difficult it becomes to get it done, day in and day out.
Over the years, you've tried every supplement that came down the pike. Energy products, cell volumizers--anything you could get your hands on that just might have given you that edge that you were looking for. And every time, you came away disappointed. You've eagerly sought something to reignite that fire... Something to get you through those tough days when you just didn't "have it." You want a product that will make you feel alive in the gym, in the zone... Something that will make you look forward to your training. You want increased strength, better pumps-you long for the fruits of your labor.
Enter Shock Therapy™. Mental focus, training intensity, strength gains and mind-blowing pumps. In one single product, Shock Therapy™ addresses all of your training needs, inside and out. Your trips to the gym will never be the same. The Research and Development department at Universal Nutrition has pulled out all the stops in formulating a product using the most cutting edge, complementary ingredients designed specifically to maximize your training potential.
First up is the NO Super Pump Complex, a proprietary blend of Arginine AKG, Citrulline Malate and Carnosine. This blend was designed to maximize nitric oxide (NO) release. Nitric oxide is a free form gas that is produced in the body and is used to communicate between cells. It's a well-known fact that nitric oxide increases blood flow. This makes it of great importance to athletes, as increased blood flow will serve to deliver more nutrients to muscles, thus helping muscles become larger when subjected to training.
During an intense workout one of the main factors limiting your muscular power and endurance is oxygen and availability of oxygen-rich nutrients. The NO Super Pump Complex can help you pump clean oxygen and energy-producing nutrients into muscle cells at a faster rate, thus allowing your muscles to sustain a greater workload. The NO Super Pump Complex can give you incredible muscular pumps and greatly enhance your vascularity-for that hard and shredded look.
While the NO Super Pump Complex is working to maximize nitric oxide production, the Muscle Volumizing Complex, with its blend of tricreatine malate and glycocyamine, helps to expand your cells. The Muscle Volumizing Complex does this by allowing the muscle cell itself to hold more water, thus increasing muscle cell volume.
Now don't confuse this with extracellular water, which is a term for water retention under the skin. Shock Therapy™ focuses on intracellular water retention, drawing water into your muscle tissues like a magnet. For a lifter or bodybuilder, this is significant because expanded muscle cells can boost hydration, resulting in a higher rate of protein synthesis and increasing the appearance of muscle fullness.
Next up is the Energy and Nootropic Complex. This proprietary complex consists of specialized energizing compounds such as methylxanthines and evodiamine. These powerful compounds energize your body for insane workouts. These fast-acting substances will help deliver maximum energy and power output and will stay in your system for the duration of your workout.
So what are "nootropics"? These are powerful brain-boosting substances that hone focus. They help increase mental alertness and provide the surge needed to maximize your training on a neurological level. This complex will aid in giving you the ultimate "mind-body" rush that will kick your workouts into a whole new gear. This blend of energizers and nootropics are not just stimulants. These powerful substances will reach deep into the muscle cell to provide lasting power, delaying the onset of muscle fatigue.
Unlike any other pre-workout NO product on the market, we are one of the first to add in vitally important antioxidants. Nitric oxide is an essential molecule in the body. However, a side effect of nitric oxide supplementation is the potential production of free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that can damage your cells. However, there is a way to combat those free radicals so you are able to elicit the benefits of nitric oxide without the harmful side effects.
The Antioxidant Complex in Shock Therapy™ is a blend of select, potent antioxidants including green tea extract, R-ALA, NAC and grapeseed extract. This powerful blend was specifically designed to help neutralize harmful free radicals that are a by-product of NO. In short, the Antioxidant Complex allows you gain the positive benefits of increased NO levels without hindering your gains or jeopardizing your overall health--this is the "therapy" component of Shock Therapy™ and you won't find it anywhere else.
Shock Therapy™ has everything you need to tear the gym apart, but all of the greatest ingredients in the world mean nothing if you don't have the proper delivery system to shuttle them to your muscles. Our electrolyte and pH delivery system is key for enhanced absorption and maximum nutrient uptake.
This powerful blend of nutrient enhancers helps pull the proprietary Shock Therapy™ complex of muscle building nutrients into the muscles. It not only pulls and traps these nutrients inside the muscle, but also helps improve their uptake by the cells. This innovative system can dramatically enhance the pump, fuel the body for powerful training sessions, decrease lactic acid build up, replenish lost electrolytes, improve endurance and energy, and saturate the muscle with nutrients for growth. Everything a bodybuilder could ever wish for.
Shock Therapy™ from Universal Nutrition. The one, complete supplement that can change the way you train. Packed with energy factors, growth nutrients, antioxidants and nootropic "brain boosters", Shock Therapy™ can be your greatest ally in the fight against training monotony and progress plateaus. With Shock Therapy™ you'll never go through the motions again.
Add 1 scoop to 8-10 ounces of cold liquid. Take one serving 30 minutes pre-workout.

3 min readStudy Finds Molecular Relative of p53 Tumour Suppressor Protein Also Helps Cancer Cells Thrive
Philadelphia, PA – They say you can pick your friends, but not your family. The same may hold true for related proteins. The protein TAp73 is a relative of the well-known, tumour-suppressor protein p53. It shares extensive common gene sequences with p53 and, as suggested by some previous studies, it may function similar to p53 to prevent tumour formation.
However, unlike p53, which is the most commonly mutated gene in human tumours, TAp73 is rarely mutated, and instead is frequently overexpressed in a wide range of human tumours, including breast, colon, lung, stomach, ovarian, bladder, liver, neuroblastoma, glioma, and leukaemias. In other words, cancer cells may have too many copies of the TAp73 gene.
Researchers still do not know whether TAp73 enhances tumor cell growth and, if so, exactly how it may give an advantage to tumor cells. But, in a new study that appears in Nature Cell Biology, Dr. Xiaolu Yang, professor of Cancer Biology at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute, and colleagues found that TAp73 supports the proliferation of human and mouse tumour cells. They also identify an important mechanism by which TAp73 gives tumour cells a growth advantage: it activates the expression of an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the rate-limiting molecule of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP).
To fuel the proliferation of tumour cells, their metabolic pathways are fundamentally reprogrammed. This reprogramming allows for rapid generation of macromolecules such as nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins. It also enables tumour cells to reduce the oxidative stresses they experience. The PPP is important for both biosynthesis and anti-oxidant defence, and tumour cells need this pathway for their high rate of replication.
The study was led by Dr. Peng Jiang, and Dr. Wenjing Du, two postdoctoral fellows in the Yang lab. They and the rest of the team found that by stimulating G6PD, TAp73 increases PPP activity and directs the sugar glucose to pathways for synthesizing macromolecules for replication and detoxifying reactive types of oxygen molecules to protect cells from harm.
The team also found that the decrease in replication in cells without TAp73 can be rescued by either enforced expression of G6PD, or adding basic molecules called nucleosides (the precursor for nucleic acids) and a reactive oxygen species scavenger to mop up these deleterious molecules, two outcomes of the PPP. These data provide the evidence that stimulating the PPP is a main proliferative effect of TAp73.
This is the first evidence that TAp73 is needed for tumour growth, as seen in the mouse and human colon, lung and other cancers studied.
Previous work by Yang's lab, also led by Jiang and Du, found that p53 has the exact opposite effect on the PPP. They found that p53 physically binds to and inhibits G6PD. Through this inhibition, p53 normally dampens synthesis of molecules and cell reproduction by forcing the cell to take up less glucose. If p53 can't do its intended job, cells grow out of control. In tumours, more than half of which carry mutations in the p53 gene, this routing function is abolished, enabling cells to build biomass and divide with abandon. The opposing effect of two members of the p53 family on the G6PD underlines this importance of this enzymes and the pathway it controls, the PPP, in tumour cells.
"These findings establish a critical role for TAp73 in regulating metabolism and connect TAp73 and the PPP to cancerous cell growth," says Yang.
The prevalence of p53 inactivation and TAp73 up-regulation indicate that modulating the pathways that these two proteins control could bring substantial benefit to tumour therapy. However, targeting these pathways has proven to be difficult as most proteins in the p53 and TAp73 pathway operate via protein-protein interactions, which are generally poor drug targets.
In contrast, metabolic enzymes are among the best drug targets. The identification of G6PD as an enzyme that becomes hyper-activate in tumours with p53 inactivation and/or TAp73 over-expression, two of the most common genetic alterations in cancer cells, suggests inhibition of this enzyme, or its related enzyme in the PPP pathway, may be highly beneficial for the therapy of a wide range of tumours.
The Yang lab has previously identified another set of enzymes that are both regulators and responders of p53. They hope that their work will give a strong impetus for developing high specific compounds for p53 and TAp73-regulated enzymes and testing them for cancer therapy, says Yang.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Lawmakers in Springfield are considering whether to require prescriptions for some common medicines as they look to solve the methamphetamine problem in Illinois.
The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reports a Senate panel heard testimony Thursday. The Senate bill would make drugs containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine Schedule III controlled substances and require prescriptions.
Pekin Police Chief Greg Nelson told lawmakers that methamphetamine users and producers "are adapting and changing, and we need to adapt and change also."
But others argued requiring prescriptions for some decongestants would be a burden on consumers. Consumer Healthcare Products Association drug lobbyist Carlos Gutierrez says some consumers can't afford to see a doctor for cold medicine.
Illinois lawmakers have previously restricted the purchase of similar drugs.

Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, one of Afghanistan's most brutal Islamist warlords, is holding tentative peace talks with the government of Afghanistan that could cause a split in the Taliban-led insurgency, Afghan politicians in Kabul said Wednesday.
The terms that Hekmatyar has outlined are softer than those proposed by the Taliban, who've demanded that U.S. and other foreign troops must leave Afghanistan before peace talks can begin. Hekmatyar would allow international forces to remain in the country for 18 months.
The government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, with the tacit backing of the international community, is feeling its way toward some dialogue with insurgent groups in an attempt to end the violence in Afghanistan.
Hekmatyar, a veteran jihadist who fought the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s with U.S. and Pakistani support, now heads the smallest of the three main insurgent groups. The other two, the Taliban and the Haqqani network, are associated with Al Qaeda.
A deal with Hekmatyar would be controversial, especially with women's groups and human rights activists, who fear that it would jeopardize the hard-won freedoms enshrined in Afghanistan's 2004 constitution.
Hekmatyar's proposal, quietly circulated to the government and selected politicians late last year, would install a "neutral" interim government in Kabul for two years, said Afghan political leaders who've seen the plan but didn't want to be named for fear of their own safety.
During the last four months of the interim government's tenure, a loya jirga, a traditional "grand assembly" of tribal elders and other influential groups, would be convened to draft a new constitution, and then elections would be held. Hekmatyar's group in turn would lay down its arms.
Hekmatyar's deputy, Qutbuddin Hilal, was in Kabul last month, where he was thought to have held talks at the presidential palace, the Afghan politicians said. Hilal is based in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, where many leaders of the militant wing of Hekmatyar's Hezb-i-Islami live.
Hekmatyar's son, Feroz, told McClatchy by phone from an undisclosed location that the group wants a settlement, but said that "Hezb-i-Islami has not held any serious talks with anyone."
"Hezb-i-Islami is not against peace in Afghanistan. We are not against Karzai and peace talks . . . . We are not seeking any position," Feroz Hekmatyar said. "We want foreigners to leave, to go out of Afghanistan."
Feroz Hekmatyar said he took part in a conference last month in the Maldives, a secret event that brought together Hezb-e-Islami with Taliban figures and several members of parliament and that participants later described in detail to McClatchy.
No ties to Al Qaeda?
"Hezb-e-Islami doesn't have any relationship with Al Qaeda," he added. "Hezb-i-Islami has some political disagreements with the Taliban."
A wing of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's party is already participating in Afghan politics, with more than two-dozen members of parliament and two ministerial positions in Karzai's cabinet, though the parliamentary party claims it's independent of Hekmatyar.
"He (Hekmatyar) is ready for reconciliation," said Khalid Farooqi, a senior member of parliament for Hezb-i-Islami. "There are talks between him and the government, but I don't know the result."
Hekmatyar is on a United Nations blacklist of terrorists, and that would make negotiations with him difficult. According to the U.S. State Department, he had links with Osama bin Laden and gave the al Qaida leader shelter in Afghanistan in the mid-1990s.
"The government must talk to Hekmatyar and the Taliban at the same time," said Bakhtar Aminzay, a senator and the president of the Afghanistan National Peace Jirga, a non-government group that promotes political reconciliation. "If you make a deal with Hekmatyar and not the Taliban, the problem could get worse."
Backed by Pakistan's ISI
Gulbuddin Hekmatyar was one of the main "mujahedeen" commanders in the U.S.-backed resistance to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s.
With the support of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency, he then threw his group into the Afghan civil war that followed in the early 1990s, briefly becoming prime minister.
Hekmatyar ordered the shelling of Kabul during that period, killing thousands of civilians. He was ousted when the Taliban came to power and fled to exile in Iran in 1997, and later to Pakistan.
More recently, his group re-emerged as an armed faction inside Afghanistan, with a significant presence in the northeast. They claimed responsibility for a 2008 assassination attempt against Karzai.
Many think that he never had much support in Afghanistan and was propped up for decades by Pakistan's ISI. Some say he'd have to live in exile under any settlement.
"Even Hekmatyar's party (inside parliament) will not welcome his return to politics. He is in real trouble. He is losing his influence over Hezb-i-Islami," said Haroun Mir, deputy director of Afghanistan's Center for Research and Policy Studies, an independent research organization in Kabul. "He's desperate, worried that he'll be left out of any negotiations."
Hekmatyar's Pakistani benefactors, who are keen to play a major role in deciding the fate of Afghanistan, may be pushing him into talks.
"He (Hekmatyar) has a weak hand to play and it may be made even weaker if the Pakistanis are putting pressure on him and his people at his base in Shamshatoo (Afghan refugee camp), near Peshawar," said a U.S. official in Washington, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. "Perhaps they're offering him up as evidence of their ability to deliver on the insurgents."

LETTER: Bad socialist dream could become true in America
To The Editor:
Sometimes dreams become reality. A recent one startled me out of a restless sleep. My pillow was soaked and my heart was beating as if I'd just completed a run around the block. But that wasn't the worst of it. I had been crying, or specifically, sobbing.
My grandkids are touring the Obamanator Institute, once known as the Smithsonian Institute. My youngest had asked the tour guide about the relics dressed in vibrant, flashy colors. The guide hesitantly whispers to the mystified kids, "They were was once known as the middle class."
Another of my grandkids asks, "What happened to them?" The tour lady looked around and sheepishly said, "Do you want the truth or the politically correct response?"
She replies, "Only the truth, ma'am." The guide looks around the huge room for listening devices and snoop cameras, and then reticently says, "Young lady, a long time ago the USSA had a president who believed he was a messiah, but the truth is he had an overwhelming ego, and all of his impulses were subjected to his demonic narcissistic attitude."
She continues, "Throughout his life he was known by many names -- Barry Dunham, Barry Soetoro, Barack Obama, Harrison J. Burnel, Barack Hussein Obama II, and Edsel (Spuds) Pinocchio Potatohead. He had a grandiose scheme that he believed would 'fundamentally transform' what was known as the United States of America; and in fact his dream was fulfilled. What we have today, the United Socialist States of America, was transformed from the once exceptional, constitutional republic of the U.S.A."
My oldest grandson asked, "Is it true they had individual personalities and were permitted free speech?" "Yes, young man, the statues tell it all. They have bright eyes and smiles, and their clothes all have fabulous colors. Today we're supposed to be content in drab brown, gray and green. Oh, and I might add, those happy-go-lucky people from all walks of life had three meals every day -- and something they called dessert.
The guide becomes despondent. "I'm sorry, but every time I get to this part of the tour, I can't help but think, the middle class caused their own demise. Before there was a Barack Obama, there were people called snake-oil salesmen, flim-flam artists and con men. It seems this fellow had studied under these chaps. He figured out a way to outdo his instructors. He made it simple...promise them utopia, unicorns, "hope," "change," "yes, we can," a
Ah, yes, back then they had something called a vote where they picked a winner and a loser. But they also had a thing called research." She expounded on what could be gained through researching. "It's too bad less than half of the middle class U.S.A. researched the two contenders, Barack Obama and his opponent, John McCain."
My oldest abruptly speaks up, "Ma'am, what's an opponent, what's a vote?"
And the rest is history! (Thank you, Paul Harvey.)

USA Wins 2010 FIBA World Basketball Championship With Win Over Turkey
A young Team USA has won the country's first FIBA world basketball championship in 16 years.
Kevin Durant scored 28 points – including seven 3-pointers – as the United States beat the tournament's host, Turkey, 81-64 in the gold medal game in Istanbul last Sunday.
The game capped off a perfect tournament for Team USA, which won all five of its group games before going 4-0 in the knockout stage.
Durant, 21, was named the tournament's MVP. The team featured no players from the United States' 2008 gold-medal-winning Olympic squad, and half of its 12 members are younger than 23.
The victory makes the United States an automatic qualifier for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England. It also wraps up a remarkable 25 months for Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski, whose Duke Blue Devils won an NCAA title last spring between the United States' victories in Beijing and Istanbul.
Team USA last won the FIBA World Championship in 1994, when it beat Russia in the final.

Arepa de huevo (Arepa with egg)
March 23, 2007 in breakfast, Colombian Food, cooking, deep fry, Food Porn, ingredient, latino, recipe
[Sorry for the annoying copyright symbols on these images but there are too many people downloading and stealing these images. I am working on a downloadable for-a-fee document where you can get the whole "picture" and I do not lose all photo rights and revenue.]
Arepa de huevo is a Colombian food that I remember from my childhood. Other countries may do this but I do not know much or really anything about other varieties. Arepas are made from a very finely ground corn meal. I will put a recipe or guideline below for making that as well as how-to photos on how to make the arepa with egg below.
My first experience with it was when we visited Colombia 25 years ago. As in other latin american countries, street vendors sell all manner of things. We were on foot somewhere in Bogota, Colombia, and literally by the roadside there was this large woman sitting next to an enormous wok-like pot filled with boiling hot oil. She also had dozens of eggs and arepas. I didn't really know what to expect when we walked up. I watched her cut open a large arepa (size of your hand, I am used to seeing them more like 1/2 that size), break an egg into the steaming middle of the arepa, pinch it back closed, and slip it quickly down the side of the wok-pot down into the boiling oil. Next thing I know, I am holding a napkin with a steaming hot arepa de huevo inside, tasting it for the first time.
Truly fantastic.
I have always respected the potent possibilities of food poisoning and GI upset that can happen when you eat things in a region where you have not acclimated yourself to the local bugs in the water. On this trip, I experienced food poisoning also for the first time but it was NOT from the Arepa de huevo I had from the street vendor.
Because this treat is deep fried, making it less likely to be a vector for forborne illnesses.
More important than all of that, it is very delicious!
I had not eaten one in all that time until just the other day, when I finally got down to making them in my own kitchen. They came out so much better than I had anticipated. I hope you will try them too!
Arepa de huevo
- 1 C "La Venezolana" or "ArepaHarina" precocida masa harina (extremely fine precooked corn meal – you simply can not use any substitutes here, find this ingredient)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 C boiling hot water
- 4 eggs (or more, depending on how far your masa goes)
- 5 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 2 bunches of green onions, finely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of ground cominos
- Pinch of ground annatto seeds
- 1/2 cup of packed, chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- salt to taste
Saute the listed "hogao" ingredients in the olive oil until wilted, set aside.
Mix the harina and salt and then add the boiling water. Mix until incorporated and set aside for 15 minutes.
Wet hands with cold water and shape hand sized pancakes of harina (about 1/6 inch thick) or use a tortilla press. I used the press in this case but I think I would prefer to recommend the hand method as you get a thicker arepa. With the press, its a delicious crispy thing, just a bit different than I remember.
To use the press:
Put a ball of masa on the press (which you have lined with a freezer ziplock bag, cut to size).
Gently push down on the press so that you mash it flat but not TOO thin.
Open the press and rotate the arepa 180 degrees and press just slightly more to try to even the thickness all around.
Peel back the plastic and either toast in a hot pan like you do with most arepas (below shown with smaller ones), or slip the raw arepa into the hot oil until it puffs up.
Remove and allow to cool.
Carefully cut into the side of the arepa to form a pocket.
Put a spoonful of hogao in the bottom of the fried arepa.
Put an egg into a small cup and then slip the egg into the pocket.
Mend the edge with raw dough and then slip it back into the hot oil for a couple of minutes (until it hits the color you want, light golden brown).
Enjoy hot!

Egyptian Military Ousts President Morsi
Morsi Rejects Decision; Constitution Is Suspended
CAIRO—The leader of Egypt's military ousted President Mohammed Morsi from office and replaced him with the head of the country's constitutional court—a move the presidential palace quickly branded a "complete military coup."
The announcements capped days of political crisis that brought millions of Egyptians out to the country's streets, spurring bellicose rhetoric from Mr. Morsi's backers and Egypt's military, and sparking deadly violence. More than two years after the biggest early tremor of the Arab Spring ousted...

Cellcos and senate vs social engineering
Your call record for sale
Posted in Security, 27th January 2006 22:04 GMT
New legislation proposed by Senator Chuck Schumer (D, NY) and backed by heavyweights from both major parties, seeks to criminalize both the practitioners and the dupes of "social engineering".
That's just a fancy way of smooth-talking someone out of some information they shouldn't normally impart, but it has been the most effective technique for fraudsters, hackers and private eyes over the years.
Schumer's bill, the proposed Consumer Telephone Records Protection Act of 2006, makes disclosing a subscriber's phone records an offence. It specifically outlaws making false statements or providing phoney documentation to a phone provider in order to obtain the records, and accessing an account over the net without the subscriber's authorization.
According to the Electronic Privacy Information Center EPIC, over 40 websites including celltolls.com and locatecell.com have been trading in a black market in call records.
The legislation has kicked the carriers into action. T-Mobile and Verizon filed suit against the sites and the information brokers who provide them with the records. ®

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/12/2012 (2872 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Evander Kane has come clean – but doesn't feel the need to apologize – for a picture posted on his Twitter account showing him in Las Vegas holding two giant wads of cash and pretending to call boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. that has gone viral and has brought a heap of criticism on the Winnipeg Jets' forward.
So here's Kane to provide some context and his take on the pic, which was accompanied by the message:"Hey @FloydMayweather pick up your phone cause I'm callin#imdifferent @jduppal pic.twitter.com/UZ3GYO4K" on his Twitter account, @EKane9JETS:
"First of all, that picture was taken in November," began Kane in a telephone interview with the Free Press on Wednesday.
"If you look closely you can see I have a moustache. That's not my regular look, that was for Movember. But I just got home to Vancouver during the day after visiting some family in Halifax with my dad. I just threw the tweet out as a joke while I was on the plane. I landed and saw everything… I guess it is what it is.
"If you watched any of the (HBO) 24/7 show (Mayweather, Jr.) did before his fight he did that a couple of times with 50 Cent and was just joking around phoning each other with some money. I just reached out to Floyd as a joke on Twitter. It really wasn't meant for anybody else except Floyd but it just kinda blew up and took off.
"I guess some people have more of a sense of humour than others."
'It is what it is': Kane
The picture has struck a nerve with many hockey fans angry that the lockout has robbed them of NHL hockey -- and has others suggesting Kane is insensitive or doesn't understand how it could upset those who have lost their jobs because of the labour dispute.
His reaction, when asked about the optics?
"Some of the perceptions some people have, they obviously don't know me very well," said Kane. "I totally understand why some people maybe don't enjoy that tweet as much as others with what's going on. And maybe some people are more sensitive and I totally get that. But, at the same time, it's funny to me how I throw something out there as a joke and then I get all these tweets, many of them which I don't pay much attention to, which are racist. It's funny to me, if that person is so much more classy or responsible than you, they wouldn't say that. I've never made any comments towards anybody in a negative way.
"It is what it is. It's not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last."
As for how the picture has been received by his brethren in the NHL Players' Association, Kane said nobody from the union has contacted him or asked him to remove it from hit Twitter account.
"We're locked out as a union," Kane said. "My tweet has nothing to do with the NHL collective bargaining agreement or the negotiation. Like I said, it was a joke and that's all it was.
"I guarantee you if this was an NFL player or an NBA player or a celebrity like an actor would this be a story? Probably not. If that's Roddy White (of the Falcons) in Atlanta posting that picture, does anybody care?
"But in the NHL there's a different mindset. I'm not talking about the NHL as a whole, just how people view it. I keep saying it: it was a joke and I'm sorry it was taken out of hand by some people."

Welcome to LOGOS, the newsletter of the Office of Mission and Ministry at Providence College.
The ancient Greek word, λóγος, had two common meanings, reason and word. St. John the Evangelist added a third when he used it in his Gospel and letters to refer to Jesus as the incarnate Word, the second Person of the Holy Trinity. It thus seemed a fitting title for this newsletter. For the Office of Mission and Ministry, charged as it is with maintaining and enhancing the Catholic and Dominican identity of the College, is committed to establishing a dialogue between faith and reason, and to using the spoken and written word to deepen our knowledge and experience of the Word.
Each issue will include news from campus including recent and upcoming events sponsored by the Center for Catholic and Dominican Studies and the Office of the Chaplain/Campus Ministry. We will also provide reflections on the life and person of St. Dominic and on issues affecting the church, society, and Catholic higher education.
Our aim is to bridge what is commonly divided: mind and heart, body and soul, the church and the academy. Admittedly, this is not easy to do and its final achievement is certainly beyond our ken. But to the extent that we are successful, if only in a limited way, to that extent we will be faithful to the Catholic and Dominican tradition that is meant to animate all that we do at Providence College.
We welcome your comments and suggestions, and rely on your prayers.
