The community of microbes that live in your stomach, otherwise called a microbiome, plays a big role in how you digest food. That's why some people eat probiotic yogurt or take supplements.
And now, researchers at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have come up with a mathematical formula to find the right diet for each individual's microbiome that will help them lose weight and prevent certain diseases.
Humans need bacteria to live, and we have a lot floating around our bodies — anywhere from 2 t0 6 pounds. And most of it isn't the kind that will make you sick, but rather the kind that helps your body run.
For the study, the researchers looked at 45 moderately overweight or obese people. Of those, 18 had a "low gene count" (meaning their gut was not as rich in bacteria) and 27 had a "high gene count" (meaning they had a greater mix of microbes).
All of the participants were instructed to eat fewer carbohydrates like bread, potatoes, rice, and sweet foods, and increase the amount of fruits and vegetables they consumed. By the end of six weeks, all of the participants had lost weight.
For those with a less diverse microbiome, the diet had a positive impact on their metabolic health — meaning a lowered their risk for type 2 diabetes and other diseases related to how the body processes food. A lack of gut microbiome diversity has been linked to type 2 diabetes, and increasing this diversity can help keep diseases like diabetes and heart disease away.
But for those who already had a diverse microbiome, their health stayed about the same.
The bacteria in your gut can alter how essential amino acids, which make up proteins like those in meat and beans, get absorbed into the body. The more amino acids we absorb, the easier it is for our muscles and tissues to put them to good use to keep our bodies running smoothly.
The researcher's formula to determine the right diet based on an individual's microbiome might be good news for people at risk for diseases associated with being overweight or obese.
Here's a chart of how the high-protein diets played out on a nutritional level.
A sample of your microbial makeup from faecal material, the mouth, or even your forehead can be genetically tested to figure out which bacteria are in your gut microbiome, and whether it's diverse or not.
So if your body isn't full of diverse bacteria, the researchers suggest eating a diet full of dairy, vegetables, meat like chicken and fish, eggs, and oils, because it will diversify your gut microbiome, which could improve your health.
And if your body is already full of diverse bacteria, you can make other diet modifications to improve your health, which the researchers think they can pinpoint using their mathematical formula.
The results were published last month in the journal Cell Metabolism.

I have been using a solar thermal water heater for nearly two years, and am now ready to share my experience with it.
First: solar thermal water heaters (often just called solar water heaters) operate by absorbing sunlight into insulated (by vacuum) glass tubes where it turns into heat. That heat accumulates in the water until it becomes adequately hot. The hot water is stored in a tank.
Apart from that, the heater was said to be equipped with a built-in auxiliary electric heater to ensure that hot water is always available, regardless of weather or time. That electric heating element was never plugged in, and the heater has been providing hot water even on cloudy days!
This is made possible by the simple, yet amazing technology of insulation. The heater heats the water during the day, and insulation keeps the water hot throughout the day.
It is a 53 gallon rooftop unit with a retail price of approximately $1,100, including installation, but that was reduced even further by a discount.
It paid for itself in one year because it reduced the monthly electricity cost by $50. That is what the previous 1980s heater cost.

Nowadays, most of Europe's temperate rainforests and the coast redwoods are disappearing as a result of over-harvesting. However, temperate rain-forests in Tongass and Great Bear (British Columbia) remain relatively intact. The Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest (PCTR) ecosystem stretches 4000 kilometers along coasts from northern California through Oregon, Washington and British Columbia to Alaska.
Known for its diversity, the PCTR region contains unscathed old-growth forests, substantial glaciers, wild fisheries, and human communities with economies based on natural resources and tourism. Studies show that global-scale warming will have stronger effects on the northern PCTR's climate rather than regional and decadal time scale climate processes, including El Nino Southern Oscillation, Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and Arctic Oscillation. The northern PCTR is anticipated to undergo warming and receive less precipitation in snow in the coming decades.
Glacier coverage in northern PCTR is roughly 16% – there are 141 lake-terminating glaciers and 49 tidewater glaciers in the region. With so many glaciers, the region is particularly susceptible to ecosystem-level impacts of glacier change. Moreover, glacier mass loss rate in the region is anticipated to rise, with a total glacier volume loss of 7200 – 10000 cubic meters by the end of the twenty-first century. Glacial volume variability in northern PCTR involves prominent physical and chemical changes in hydrology, which should not be neglected because it serves as the primary source of freshwater to the Bering Sea. In addition, regional species diversity and species turnover could be influenced by glacier runoff.
A recent study published in BioScience discussed impacts of glacier volume change on surface water hydrology, biogeochemistry, coastal oceanography, and ecology. Total freshwater discharge from northern PCTR adds up to 870 cubic kilometers, half of which originates from glacier-covered area. More importantly, extremely short glacier-to-ocean stream length in the area, around 10 kilometers, allows rapid transfer of riverine substances, including sediment, nutrient, and organic matter, to estuaries and fjords. In other words, glacier change alters the terrestrial hydrologic cycle, which is significantly connected to near-shore marine ecosystem.
Freshwater runoff in ice-free basins and glacierized basins is primarily dependent on precipitation and surface energy balance respectively, because positive energy balance can result in glacier melting. The authors of the study, Shad O' Neel et al, also found that glacierized watersheds tend to have higher annual freshwater discharge. The streamflow variability of glacierized basins varies in dissimilar patterns on different time scales. According to O'Neel and his colleagues, as glacier melt increases as a result of warmer temperature in the future, it will be more difficult to predict the variability of streamflow originated from glacierized basins.
In general, glacier ecosystems have strong impacts on biogeochemistry of downstream marine ecosystems through the release and cycling their nutrients, organic matter, and contaminants. The origin of organic matter in glacier ecosystem can be attributed to a variety of sources, including aerosol deposition, subglacial biological processes, as well as subglacial organic matter. In fact, glacier runoff in northern PCTR releases tremendous amount of organic matters. Those organic matters are primarily produced through microbial production and atmospheric deposition rather than plant detritus, which appears to be extremely bioavailable to heterotrophic organisms. In other words, glacier ecosystems are a significant source of organic matter in both riverine and near shore marine ecosystems. Unfortunately, melting mountain glaciers also bring pollutants to the near shore aquatic ecosystems, such as fossil fuel combustion byproducts and mercury. Moreover, downwelling caused by wind-forced Ekman transport has a consequence of nitrogen delivery to near shore region from off shore waters. In return, high flux of glacier runoff brings iron to off shore regions.
The coastal ocean circulation in northern PCTR is dominated by the counterclockwise Alaska Coastal Current, which transports heat, nutrients, and organisms northward to the Arctic. Freshwater runoff also plays an important role in affecting the vertical stratification of coastal water column. Specifically, coastal waters are well mixed and replenished with nutrients in winter. And they become stratified due to freshwater runoff in spring. Shad O' Neel et al. pointed out that the impact of glaciers on physical oceanography of the northern PCTR is conspicuous in glacierized fjords. Cold and low-density freshwater discharge from seafloor glacier upwells to the surface while mixing with fjord water. As it rises to the surface, it leads to submarine melt of the ice cliff, and contributes to fresh overflow plume. Furthermore, nonlinear freshwater flow dynamics associated with deep-water calving fronts results in catastrophic glacier recession. As a result of a decrease in active tidewater glaciers in Alaska, the amount of fjords with glacier-driven circulation and tidewater glacier habitat also decline.
According to the study, glacier runoff generally leads to increase in regional species diversity and species turnover. For instance, "streams with moderate basin ice cover (5% – 30%) tend to have the highest macroinvertebrate taxonomic diversity, although macroinvertebrate abundance is generally low in these watersheds", as described by the article. Glaciers also directly affect upper trophic level species in fjords, on which important fishery and tourism industries rely. Icebergs calved from glaciers serve as protection for predators, a habitat for harbor seals, and a resting space for seabirds.
In sum, the northern PCTR is economically significant to northern California, British Columbia, and Alaska due to diverse resources. Understanding both long-term and short-term glaciological variability is essential to decision-making and risk management processes. After all, glacier volume and extent variability is closely linked to surface-water hydrology, biogeochemistry, coastal oceanography, and ecology. Therefore, Shad O'Neel et al. suggested that "a holistic scientific approach should be undertaken to begin to resolve these uncertainties in ways that maximize utility to the resource management community and allow efficient and informed decision-making in an era of rapid ecosystem change".

Addicted to Netflix by Bill Storie
I'm not but I thought that header would get your attention.
I use Netflix, I do admit that, and I have to say I have found some wonderful programs or television series in there. So, applause to Netflix. I was rather surprised at how few movies there really is in Netflix however. I imagined there would be thousands of old and new and rubbish movies. But the "Classics" as they call them are pathetic to be honest.
One time I e-mailed them about a particular old movie called "Zulu" that I wanted to watch. In fairness a lady called me to chat about it. She asked if it was a new movie. I said, "No, actually it came out in 1964". Silence. "Hello are you still there?" I asked. "Eh, yeah I'm still here," she said with a very hesitant voice. "1964 you said?" I could hear the next question coming a mile away. "Did they make movies back then?" But she didn't ask. She was kind. I felt old.
Yet a couple days ago I was waiting on a call coming in about some Olderhood stuff. It was going to be at least an hour so I cranked up Netflix and watched a BBC program called "QI" – great show with Stephen Fry. I enjoyed it but realized I was watching it at 9.30 in the morning. OK, I'm retired, so I can do stuff like that – relax. But it got me to thinking.
I remember years ago when I was a kid in Scotland watching television. In those days life revolved around television and specific television programs in particular. Every Monday and Wednesday night back then, we would be obliged to sit at the TV at 7.30 pm to watch "Coronation Street". Remember that one? It still airs today !!
You couldn't sit down at 7.35 because you'd have missed the opening scenes. And if you dared ask what had happened you were snapped back into your place by parents. How dare you should be late and then have the cheek to interrupt their viewing. We were controlled by television.
We couldn't go au toilette until the commercial breaks. Making tea had to be done in the 4 minute breaks. Conversation had to be handled at lightning speed in the breaks.
"So what did you do today at school?" "Well Mum, today we were learning about the French Revolution. Do you know mum it all started when some angry people stormed into a prison in Paris and…………" "Ok, that's enough the show's starting again." Boom. My new-found knowledge of events in history, important or otherwise, was wiped out.
Mind you it meant that I quickly learned how to convey important information about such things as the 100-Year War in 4 minutes. Not bad kiddo.
Yet there I was two days ago watching something at a time of my choosing and having the ability to pause and go make a cup of tea, or tinkle at my leisure (as I said I'm retired !), or heaven forbid go tell my grandchildren all I know about the invention of television. They actually appreciate that I can do it in 4 minutes.
So technology has given me some wonderful benefits that better suit my lifestyle. Nowadays I control the television not the other way around. The old "off" switch has now been replaced by the new "delete" button.
So thank you Netflix. I wonder if they have Coronation Street. Hmmm. I should check because I might be able to replay all of those opening minutes of the shows I turned up late for back then.
There are many things from my childhood that I recall at the strangest of times. Silly little events can trigger memories from forty or fifty years ago. I can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning mind you, but I recall falling of a bike when I was six – vividly.
As they say, "the mind is a terrible thing to waste." Was that it? I honestly can't remember. It was something like that I think. Also "mind over matter". If you don't mind then it don't matter !!
Ok that's me. I think I'll go and watch some really, really, really old movie on Netflix… something from, oh how's about 2005!!!!
See you next week.

Evelyn Avenue - c1900
OurNewhaven - Donated Postcard
Evelyn Avenue was where our family home was. I was born at 76 Evelyn Avenue.in 1946, daughter to Lousia and Thomas Raycraft. I enjoy looking at old photos of Newhaven. I lived in Newhaven until September 2002, then moved to Ireland. If any one remembers me it would be nice to hear from you.
I remember all your family, Barbara, we grew up together. I now live in Wiltshire and Bryan, my younger brother lives in Lewes. It was Bryan who introduced me to OurNewhaven, but I am only a novice with the computer...and this is the first time I have logged on to it. We had some good times when we were young, didnt we???
Hey Josie, Bryan played lead guitar, I would love to get in touch with him again. He lived in the flats off Church Hill when I knew him.
Barbara, I went to school with "Butch" Raycraft from Evelyn Avenue.
My grand parents lived at the top of this row of houses. I should have been born there, but mum had gone to visit her sister in Bedford 8 months pregnant and I was born there, in 1946. The last time I saw the house the front room had been turned into a garage. Didn't Denyer Brothers have their yard at the top of the road ?

Reply #25 – 2018-02-05 23:20:59 @saratoga: If the header of a WAV is problematic, then there is usually a little bit more difference than one single bad sample somewhere in the middle of the PCM data (or the file would not play at all). But that bad sample is very audible ("click", that is, why I came to the idea to compare). I tried something like this for verification:Code: [Select]for (long i = 0; i < numSamples; i++) { if (sourcePcmSamples[i] != decodedPcmSamples[i]) { print(" difference!"); }}And it enters the inside of the if once it reaches the bad sample. So my ears and Audacity aren't wrong .@Porcus: Both results contains the bad sample. It seems to be the encoder part.

Tembo Resumes Drilling On the Tembo Gold Project
December 19, 2013
Toronto, Ontario - Tembo Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TEM) (FRANKFURT:T23) ("Tembo" or the "Company") is pleased to report that, following the successful first closing in the amount of $5.95M of the recent Private Placement, the Company has recommenced drilling on the Tembo Property in the Lake Victoria goldfield of Tanzania. With one diamond drill currently operating, drilling will initially be focused on the Ngula 1 target to follow-up on the high grade intersections obtained during the earlier 2012 diamond drilling campaign, specifically the deepest intersection obtained to date (TDD0041). It is anticipated that an additional diamond drill rig will be mobilized during early Q1 2014.
Highlights of the intersections obtained to date at Ngula 1 (previously reported) include:
-- TDD0004: 3.13 g/t Au over 25.89m including 8.87 g/t Au over 3.89m;
-- TDD0005: 10.76 g/t Au over 4.00m, including 93.3 g/t Au over 0.38m;
-- TDD0041: 22.81g/t Au over 15.00m from 299.00m including 34.78g/t Au over 9.70m from 302.30m, including 205 g/t gold over 1 meter
-- TDD0054: 8.17g/t over 11.05m from 116.95m.

David Scott President & CEO stated, "It is gratifying that both the existing and new shareholders (primarily the Investor Group) of the Company have recognized the potential of the Tembo project which led to the recent Private Placement. I am currently on site and very pleased to report that drilling commenced on Monday this week on the extension of TDD0041. The drill hole deepening is targeting the potential depth extensions to north dipping shear structures that hosted the mineralization in TDD0004. Follow-up drilling at the Ngula 1 target has been recognized as our first priority target of the initial seven targets identified within the Tembo property and the results from TDD0041 (22.81g/t Au over 15.00m from 299.00m including 34.78g/t Au over 9.70m from 302.30m (as previously reported), support this. The TDD0041 intersection is the deepest obtained to date (approximately 250m below surface) which gives confidence that the mineralizing system continues (and may well improve) at depth. Thus this initial drilling program will focus on further testing of the Ngula 1 target at depth and thereby improve our understanding of the structural controls on the mineralization. It is anticipated that exploration activities will be ramped-up in 2014 to allow for closer spaced drilling at Ngula 1 (depending on results) and to further explore the other six priority targets on the Tembo property."
Commenting on the recommencement of drilling Stratex (AIM:STI) CEO Bob Foster said, "Stratex is very pleased to see drilling recommencing so quickly following our investment in Tembo. Tembo has built on extensive historic work and artisanal activity with encouraging results from over 35,000 metres of drilling on half a dozen targets, however, it has yet to report a resource. We see Tembo as a "tipping point" opportunity, where tightly focused exploration, primarily drilling, will hopefully take us to that next level."
The Ngula 1 Target
The Ngula 1 target consists of a 600m long, 150-200m wide corridor of massive and locally intensely sheared mafic meta-volcanic rocks and thin intercalated meta-sedimentary units. This package contains numerous intensely deformed, veined and altered shear structures that typically have elevated gold values. A single section through the package may host as many as 5-10 such structures ranging in width from less than one metre to several tens of metres and dipping steeply to the north. Zones of intersection and convergence of the structures are considered to be the favoured location for wider zones of mineralization and higher grades. Gold mineralization is closely associated with quartz veining, alteration and disseminated sulphides, which comprise mostly pyrrhotite with lesser pyrite and chalcopyrite. The stronger and more sulphide rich structures (pyrrhotite) are interpreted to correspond closely to lineaments that are evident in the structural interpretation of magnetic imagery.
Drill Program at Ngula 1
The initial Tembo (Phase 1) drill program at Ngula 1 consisted of alternating 100m-spaced diamond and reverse circulation drill hole sections drilled from the south targeting the zones at vertical depths of approximately -50m, -100m, -150 and -200m, and 100m-spaced diamond hole drill sections drilled from the north to similar depths. Recent deeper drilling (TDD0041) intersected a wide zone of high-grade gold mineralization at a vertical depth of approximately 250m - 15.00 m @ 22.81 g/t Au. Comparison with the nearby Bulyanhulu Mine suggests that deeper drilling may return more consistent and laterally extensive good results such as achieved in TDD0041. Consequently the initial objective is to deepen TDD0041, which was terminated prematurely as a result of the 2012 end-of-year-break). Thereafter, TDD0043 (E:436750, S:9647495) will then be collared to test the down-plunge continuation of the mineralization intersected in TDD0041.
The results from the above drilling will then be reviewed, together with a major on-site project analysis, in early January, 2014, to determine the subsequent programme, which will be accelerated by the mobilization of at least one more drill rig to site.
Figure 1
A stringent QA/QC practice is being applied to all sample batches. A Verified Reference Material standard is inserted every 20th sample, a known blank or blank standard every 20th sample and all samples with assays greater than 0.5 g/t Au are re-assayed. 1% of all samples are submitted to an alternative laboratory for check analysis. In addition the laboratory adheres to an internal QA/QC procedure including standard samples and repeats and blanks inserted independently.
The above information has been prepared under the supervision of David Scott, Pr. Sci. Nat., who is designated as a "Qualified Person" with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data.

Historical records, such as mural paintings and brick carvings discovered in a Han Dynasty tomb in Chengdu, Szechuan Province, show that the origins of Chinese acrobatics date back more than 2,000 years. This type of acrobatics was developed mostly in the Qin and Han dynasties (221 B.C.-A.D. 230)
The way European and American circuses developed in the past was by picking up novelty acts, often with the use of animals, and was partly driven by commercial needs.
Chinese took a different approach, and just worked with what they already had to perfect their moves and presentation, and would constantly increase the level of difficulty.
With Chinese Pole, the poles were originally laced with rubber material and were 10-30 feet high.
Traditional pole performers would wear full body costumes.
A well-known trick is called "the flag," where the acrobat hangs straight out at a 90 degree angle using nothing but core and arm strength.
The burn marks performers would get on their shoulders from training ended up becoming a way for acrobats to know who also trained, and also gain respect for one another in this art form.
Cirque Du Soleil has Chinese Pole in their performances these days, so you might be able to catch some there if you are liking what you see.
For now, enjoy this old footage of some neatly cut performers, and to learn more on the history of Chinese Acrobatic Theater, check out Circopedia.

Community Coming together to support Bill S70 to Lower LLC Filing Fee to $250
Posted in News - 0 Comments.
Senate Bill 70 (S.70) is a bill that I proposed to State Senator Eileen Donoghue. S.70 allows small business LLCs to pay an annual fee of only $250 instead of the usual $500.
To qualify as a small business LLC, the company must have 6 employees or less. Currently Massachusetts has the highest annual fee for LLCs in the country. And regardless of whether you business has no employees or hundreds of employees, all LLCs pay the same high fee. To me, this seems unfair to small businesses.
With the support of Senator Donoghue and a big effort by small business owners all over the state, S.70 survived it's first hurdle of getting approval from the joint senate/house committee on small business and community development. With all this support we won approval for S.70 after a public hearing where many business owners and I testified before the joint committee.
Now S.70 has been moved to the all important Senate Ways and Committee which decides budget matters. They, however, do not have public hearings. This committee must approve S.70 before it goes to a vote in the state legislature. If you are interested in showing your support, please mail a letter (they don't take emails or calls) to:
Chairman Stephen M. Brewer
Senate Ways and Means Committee

To CCCS or PCGS with my ICCS??
I want to send in some ICCS coins that I have to be hard slab. The average value is over 1500. each and I would prefer they were hard slabbed and cross graded.
What is the best way to do this?
Will cccs / pcgs cross grade and "reference the iccs cert. # and iccs grade"?
Colonial acres has for sale a lot of coins that are crossed iccs/cccs , and are apparently from iccs coins already, sent to cccs, then sent back to iccs for cross grading. That's 3 trips to tpg, which seems like too much.

Wednesday, May 26, 2010
By Brett Ballantini
CHICAGO Its easy to envision a future Deadspin lead story, one about an ascendant superstar goalie who sneaks up on the NHL and sets it on its ear, all the while never informing his parents or friends in Finland how hes finding his fortune in the United States.
As ludicrous as it sounds, Antti Niemiand apparently, his friends and familyis so even-keeled, such a story might just be true, and that for all anyone knows back home, hes simply found consistent work as a house painter or electrician and isnt a young man four wins from backstopping his way to a Stanley Cup, and turning the longest Cup drought in the NHLs books today soaking wet.
No, Im not really talking to anybody in Finland, Niemi said. My friends dont really want to mess me up, they want to keep me focused. Even my parents, we just talk about regular things, not hockey.
While this may stun those of us who would be sneaking excited phone calls or texts from the dressing room during intermissions during such a stellar playoff run, Niemi seems to have found the antidote to anxiety. Hes the coolest customer in the dressing room who just happens to man the most nerve-wracking position.
I just move on to the next thing, good or bad, Niemi said. A goal, I focus about the next puck. A save, I focus on the next puck. A win, I focus on the next game.
Maybe some of it has to do with Niemis expectations for the season. Back in September, there were none. I was just trying to make the team, he said of his battle for the backup role with the preordained No. 2, Corey Crawford.
His teammates didnt exactly welcome himhe was mostly an unknown, after all. His halting English didnt make matters much easier, although veteran netminder Cristobal Huet, himself a non-native English speaker, made life easier for the young backstop. He formed a fast bond with a fellow young Scandinavian player, defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson.
Niemi tossed a shutout in his first start of the season, the Blackhawks second game of the year, in front of his home fans in Helsinki (the netminders hometown of Vantaa is a suburb of the Finnish capital). Every time out, if he wasnt getting better, he was certainly proving himself an NHL-caliber goalie.
He just kept putting great performances in the books for us, Blackhawks defenseman Brian Campbell said. Through a variety of challenges, he came out looking good.
All year, Anttis had our backs, Chicago center Dave Bolland said. We know hes going to take care of us.
In reality, the starting job was never Niemis to win, but Huets to lose. As the veteran struggled, treading water all season, Niemi continued to grow and learnand occasionally put on a mind-boggling performance, like his 1-0 shutout in Vancouver over the Canucks on Nov. 22, a 2-1 overtime win in Pittsburgh vs. the Penguins on Dec. 5, or a 4-3 shootout win in Detroit to upend the Red Wings on Jan. 21.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville has described Niemi in a number of colorful and awestruck ways, the best of which is the strangely appropriate laid-backish. The mentor has consistently praised the rookies demeanor, and unflappability.
His presence has been key for us, Quenneville said. Hes done pretty much whatever weve asked of him. His consistency, his ability to repeat success and eliminate mistakes, has contributed to his confidence and we on the team benefit from that.
Interestingly, the least experienced player on the active roster is one of the most calm and confident, even as the games increase in tension and payoff.
I am feeling more confident than ever, Niemi admits, with some goading. But that is the sort of thing that I put away, right away.
The budding star has also admitted during this playoff run that hes aware hes becoming an elite NHL goaltender. But again, such thoughts are stored away. Ill think about that in the summer, he said. Until then, it doesnt matter anyway.
One of the simple gifts of this storied Chicago season has been watching this backstop blossom, slowly gaining confidence, both on the ice and in dressing room interviews. Seeing him chat with a reporter in his native tongue while in Vancouver, this reticent and stoic player suddenly grinning widely and gesturing in all manner of Jimmie Walker and John Belushi, was revelatory.
The young fella is no different from any of us, aside from making his living off of beating back rubber slabs shot his way at upwards of 100 mph, and bringing a little Clint Eastwood braggadocio to the ice as he flips the pucks back at the offense as if to ask if thats all its got.
Its rare that the unflappable Finn flops on the ice, and barely more so hell even admit to any tension. Those times, you have to bronze and store away, like when Niemi talks about how hard it is, win or lose, to get to sleep after a game, replaying it over in his mind. Likewise when he admitted that Game 3s overtime period vs. the San Jose Sharks was so tense I didnt even realize right away the game was over after Dustin Byfugliens game-winner, or that after Big Buffs eventual game-winner in Game 4 Niemi couldnt even recall how much time was left on the clock (10 minutes? Three minutes? I cannot even remember, but I was hoping the clock would go much faster.).
There are even those moments of awe, where you wonder whether any of this has sunk in on Niemi, who admitted in full candor that Ive dreamed of the Stanley Cup since I was seven, but that dream seemed too far away to even be a dream.
Well, Niemi is certainly living that dream today. And, Mr. or Mrs. Niemi back in Vantaa, if youre reading, your son isnt a successful plumber or painter herehes manning the pads and saying NO! to the best Blackhawks opponents the NHL has to offer.

Well, BD-01 ended tonight with a Japanese win. The Marines need either 3 caves destroyed (the only weapons to do that are 4 DCs) or 1 cave destroyed and both Trenches controlled by Marines at Game End.
Marine casualties were high, but the first cave died in turn 4 with a DC detonation original DR of 1,2 eliminating the 47L ATG and Crew, a -1 leader, and a MMG and crew. With the FT and a set of fanatic HSs commanded by a 9-1 with a DC that could be recovered and brought to bear on the A row cave by Turn 6, the only key to the Marine win was the 7-6-8 with a DC in the N hexrow ADJACENT to the cave with 2 mtrs in it. Those mtrs had trouble hitting anything well - (as did many weapons this game), and it was to the wire in the last Japanese DFPh- with 4 consecutive 2 - flat shots at the 7-6-8, the last one got lucky on a 3,2, NMC and my 7-6-8 went down to broken on a 6,4 DR. As there was only turn 6 MPh/APh left to get someone over to the DC, and only the fanatics with a ldr able to pick them up, but only being able to reach 1 of the caves in time- it was a wash - 2 caves can't win and no one able to get into and win to take both trenches in 1 player turn.
Overall, we felt this scenario is quite tough on the Marines, and we wondered- "Where were the Bazookas that all Marine Companies carried into combat in 1945?" We finally noticed, the larger "2nd assault" scenario in BD-02 does indeed have the Bazookas. Since Co G here in BD-01 is, by introduction paragraph and historically, fresh to the fight in this area making their first push in, we felt the right answer is that to balance this one out, give the Marines their 2 BAZ 45's (with the WP ammo they also provide). And then replay it, and see if having that extra man-portable smoke cover is enough to keep the Marine presence in the game long enough to make the threat to the defenses real for all 6 game turns.
Finally, for balance suggestions to put on the scen card:
Marines: Marines are Elite (C8.2).
Japanese: Japanese receive 1 more Cave Complex Tunnel (for a total of 2).
This provides yet more Smoke/WP opportunities for the Marines and for the Japanese, allows the defenders to link 2 of the in play cave complexes with a tunnel (the first one is an obvious no-brainer to go to the Trenches).
John and I are up for BD-02, the 2nd assault on this sector- and my Japanese are reinforced with a pillbox and some more MGs, including a HMG and a .50 cal. The Marines get 2 companies and their BAZ 45s now for this one coming up. (BD-02).
We decided to play them through swapping sides along the way to prep us for the CG playtest.
KRL, Jon H

Hackers appear to have struck RockBand.com and DanceCentral.com right as the games' maker, Harmonix ended a 281-week run of offering new songs to both rhythm games. While that may seem late to the party to some, to others, closing down a service might be a great time to harvest user names and passwords and try using them to crack other accounts.
Both websites have been taken down as Harmonix investigates the breach. The company says none of its sites maintained any credit card, bank account or other purchase information, nor social security numbers or other identifiers of that type. That said, some users' info was exposed.
For now, everyone's passwords have been disabled, and when they are reactivated, account holders will be required to reset them. Anyone who used that password on another site is advised to change it there. The outage will last at least for the weekend.

Attendance, Illness, & Dropped Class Policies
Policy concerning dropping a class:
Please register for classes carefully. Our teachers are making a commitment to teach your children for a full school year and you need to make the same commitment. Registration fees, any tuition fees, and supply fees you pay are nonrefundable. Students who do not pay their tuition by 2:00 p.m. on the 1st Tuesday of every month will not be allowed to attend classes until payment has been made.
There is only a 6-week drop period. If you do not drop a class before the drop period ends, you are obligated for the entire year's tuition, even if you are paying out the yearly fee on a monthly basis. Each class' tuition is a yearly tuition commitment that we allow parents to pay by the month. Dropping a class after the drop period has ended does not release the parent from paying for the rest of the year.
The 6-week drop period ends at the end of class day on the 6th class day of the year, which will be Tuesday September 23, 2014 at 3:30 p.m.
Of course, there are always those extreme exceptions to any rule that a family might encounter during the year.
So, please discuss these issues with the Star Academy Administrators.
Illness and Missed Classes Policy:
If a student will be absent, it is the parent's responsibility to inform the teacher either by phone or email. Please do not bring children to class day that have had fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or other contagious conditions in the last 24 hours. For lice, we have a no-nit policy. If your child requires any medication, please keep it with you and administer it yourself or allow them to bring it and take it themselves.
Teachers are not required to make up classes that your child may miss. Parents or students should request make-up work from the teacher and work at home to ensure that they are caught up by the next class.
Attendance at class day is very important. Since students are only meeting with their teachers once per week, it is vitally important that they be there. Please, as a rule, do not schedule family vacations when a class day will be missed. Students should not miss more than 1 class day per semester, and this should be reserved for a sick day. Try to save family vacations for the weeks that we are off. There's a school calendar in the files section of the yahoo group website.
Inclement Weather Policy:
If the weather is bad enough for Schertz/Cibolo/UCISD public schools to close, we will be closed also. We have one weather day built into our school calendar, in case school cancellation due to bad weather.

Rihanna "Redemption Song" (For Haiti Relief)
[audio:Rihanna-Redemption Song (For Haiti Relief).mp3]
Mikey: Rihanna channels the late Bob Marley and shows her support to Haiti. She'll be performing this song on Oprah's live special which airs this afternoon titled, Just Back from Haiti—Wyclef Jean's Devastating Eyewitness Account. Remember you can still donate by simply texting "yele" to "501 501".

I love this song , Happy to see that people are aware of whats going on now. I just hope its not for personally gains and the help continue to flow when the media leaves. Thats when we'll become the foggotten souls
"The list of catastrophes is mind-numbing: This week's devastating earthquake. Four tropical storms or hurricanes that killed about 800 people in 2008. Killer storms in 2005 and 2004. Floods in 2007, 2006, 2003 (twice) and 2002. And that's just the 21st Century run-down.
"This is the 15th disaster since 2001 in which the U.S. Agency for International Development has sent money and help to Haiti. Some 3,000 people have been killed and millions of people displaced in the disasters that preceded this week's earthquake" That dont even include the 13 after shock we felt since Jan 12. and today's 6.1 quake

Well damn since you put it like that. Makes you wonder what the hell man. Makes me think what could possibly happen in America someday any day just hope people around the world responds the same way we did and like other countries at the time of need if not better.Thats what we have in common were all human. All that happens to one country is crazy. Its like Haiti is going through some kind of sick menstrual cycle. I pray for them to rebuild and have some peace soon.

I love you Info and I know we live in the age of downloading but you didnt have to give people the link to download it now. The point is to buy the track to fund the relief effort. At least wait the 48 hours and then let em download it.

As well as conducting research in applied settings, we also run studies from our psychology lab suite, which includes state-of the-art facilities such as observation room, eye tracking and EEG, all under the supervision of our dedicated psychology technician.
Assessment will take many forms including traditional essays, team assignments, reflective logs, oral presentations, etc. All assessments will be completed before the end of the first term. You must pass all modules (40 credits) to progress to the research stage of the course. If any module is failed you'll have one opportunity to resubmit prior to continuing with the research component of the module.
The largest part of the assessment will be based on your research output(s). Working with your Supervisor, you will have to decide what format the research output(s) will take. It may be a dissertation of approximately 16,000-20,000 word equivalent or a couple of research reports or research papers each of approximately 8,000 words in length. It may be possible that the research output could take some different form, e.g. an invention or patent, but a written component would still be required. The research output(s) will be assessed by an external examiner and you must pass this component of the module to receive the award of MSc.

BMW Motorrad recorded the highest sales ever for the start of a year. For the first three months of 2012, sales increased to 24,373 motorcycles (23,109 last year) which is a 5.5% rise over the first quarter of 2011. In March alone, BMW Motorrad delivered 12,295 motorcycles (11,675 last year) to customers worldwide, a 5.3% gain over March 2011.
"BMW Motorrad got off to an excellent start to the 2012 motorcycle season," said Hendrik von Kuenheim, General Director BMW Motorrad. "This positive development is attributable to our attractive model range and the good market development above all in Brazil, the USA and Australia, these being countries in which, for climatic reasons, the motorcycle season starts significantly earlier than in Europe. In contrast, due to economical insecurities, markets in Southern Europe are in a difficult position. Nevertheless, if the framework conditions do not worsen, we will aspire to again exceed the record sales figures of 2011 for the whole year."
After seeing deep declines over the last couple of years, Husqvarna Motorcycles, the BMW Group's second motorcycle brand, recorded an increase in sales for the third month in succession. As of March, Husqvarna had sold 2,642 motorcycles (1,940 last year), an increase of 702 units or 36.2%. In March the figure was 1,182 units (676 last year), a 74.9 % increase compared to the previous year.
Sales for the BMW Group's automobiles also reached an all-time high in March. The company sold a total of 185,728 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce vehicles in the past month, not only significantly exceeding the figure for March of last year (165,846 units / +12%) but also the previous sales high of 165,855 vehicles recorded in June 2011. The company also achieved a new high for the first three months: Retail volumes increased by more than 40,000 vehicles to 425,528 units (prev. yr. 382,763 units), which represents a growth of 11.2% compared with the first quarter of 2011.
With sales of 153,004 vehicles (prev. yr.: 134,895 / +13.4%), more BMW brand vehicles were sold in a single month than ever before. Sales through March reached a record 356,548 vehicles (prev. yr. 321,180), an increase of 11.0% over the first three months of last year.
A total of 32,421 MINI brand vehicles were delivered worldwide to customers in March (prev. yr. 30,690 / +5.6%) and 68,210 (prev. yr. 60,860) vehicles were sold in the first quarter of 2012. This represents a sales increase of 12.1% compared with the first three months of last year and a new record in first quarter sales for the brand.
Rolls-Royce continued its success with a record first quarter in sales. For the year to the end of March, the number of Rolls-Royce motor cars delivered climbed 6.5% to 770 (prev. yr. 723) vehicles.
The BMW Group increased retail volumes in its three largest single markets of Germany, the U.S. and China, among others. In Germany, the company reported a +11.6% increase (30,981 / prev. yr. 27,755) for BMW Group vehicle registrations in March. A total of 66,222 vehicles have been registered year-to-date in Germany, an increase of +2.0% over the first quarter in 2011 (prev. yr. 64,923). Record first quarters in both the U.S. and China contributed to the BMW Group's outstanding first quarter sales results. In the U.S., sales climbed +13% in March to 29,806 vehicles (prev. yr. 26,382). Year to date, 75,729 vehicles have been delivered in the U.S., an increase of +16.6% over the previous year (64,957). BMW Group sales in China remained high in the month under review – 30,593 (prev. yr. 21,687 /+41.1%) vehicles were delivered. From January to the end of March a total of 80,014 vehicles were delivered, an increase of 36.8% compared with the same period last year (prev. yr. 58,506).
