Follow the bouncing Jeff Choate
Following a one-season gig on Mike Leach's staff, Washington State linebackers coach Jeff Choate left Pullman in January to join up with Sean Kugler in El Paso to serve as UTEP's defensive coordinator. At the time, Kugler called Choate an "Energizer bunny" and praised his constant motor.
That motor, it turns out, is still running, and it's taking Choate on another big geographic hop: Florida announced this morning that Choate has been added to Will Muschamp's Gators staff, where he'll serve as special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach. In a school release, Muschamp praised Choate's "high energy."
A cursory examination of a world map suggests that if Choate's current energetic travel patterns continue, he'll be coaching American football somewhere in the vicinity of Caracas come 2014. We wish Choate the very best of luck with his world tour.

Vinesh Jha
Former Director of Quant Research
"Developing an edge requires a constant search for new and innovative sources of information. By using the wisdom of crowds to create an intuitive and diversified source of market intelligence, one that is measurably more accurate than conventional sources, Estimize represents a new frontier."
Paul Vigna
Markets Reporter
The Wall Street Journal
"We'd be happy to have an alternative to the conflicted game that dominates earnings season. There are fewer conflicts (amongst Estimize contributors) that leave the analysis in doubt. Estimize provides investors with another source of information, and these days that's never a bad thing."
Derald Muniz
Presidium Capital
"At Presidium Capital where we do a great deal of trading around earnings reports, the Estimize data is valuable in our trade prep & trade design efforts. We obtain a lot of value by being both contributors to and consumers of the data set."
Analysts, traders, and portfolio managers from many prominent hedge funds, asset management firms, mutual funds and independent research firms contribute to Estimize. Contributing analysts also include many industry experts, corporate finance professionals, independent investors and students who add their unique perspective to the data set.
In order for Estimize to represent the market's true consensus, our platform is open to a wide range of different backgrounds.
Powerful notifications and analytics are driven by the estimates that you enter into the platform. Estimize delivers intelligence on where your expectations lie in relation to your buy side peers and the most accurate analysts. Our community members fundamentally want data from each other, and believe in cooperating to produce a more accurate, more representative data set without losing anything in return.
Estimize produces a audited track record of your accuracy as a fundamental analyst, and offers a deep set of analytics.
At Estimize we don't judge estimates based on the background of the contributor, or how they arrived at their estimate. By using algorithms to review estimates before they are included in the consensus, and others to score estimates after the earnings release, we are able to maintain and extremely clean data set and prevent any gaming.
Please feel free to contribute regardless of your background or estimating methodology, many non professional analysts happen to be amongst our most accurate.
We provide the ability for analysts to remain anonymous. While all community members are asked to identify their professional or non professional status, we do not require real names, name of your firm, or your position. This preserves the ability for analysts to contribute without being compromised in any way.
At Estimize we take the need for certain members of the community to remain anonymous very seriously. Protection and privacy of your data is a core principle of our company.
Estimize does not fall under many firm's "social media" exclusion policies. Estimize is an analytics platform that pools data together in an anonymous way in order to offer collective intelligence. Our privacy policy is crystal clear about our commitment to preserving your anonymity and observance of firm policies.
If you have further questions about compliance, please feel free to contact us, we regularly meet with compliance departments to review the platform for use within firms.
We use both a manual and algorithmic review process of every estimate entered into our system. Our algorithms look at attributes of each individual estimate, as well as the analyst's track record, along with other factors. Estimize does not pass judgement on the reasoning behind an analyst's estimate, only its statistical details. Unreliable estimates are excluded from the consensus.
The algorithms we use are very accurate, and are not concerned with how you arrived at your estimate, just the numbers.
Estimize was built to provide the market with an open data set that better represents the true expectations of the market. We don't use a "give-to-get" model or charge for access to this platform as that would limit the influence of the data set.
As a company, we monetize through making our data available in a completely anonymous way to financial institutions who would like to incorporate it into their investment and trading models directly.
Estimize provides both streaming and RESTful APIs to financial institutions looking to incorporate Estimize data into their models. We also partner with several financial data platforms, including Bloomberg, to deliver Estimize data to their clients. Please visit the API request form for more information.

New Law to Reduce Student Loan Costs
On September 27, President Bush signed a new law intended to make a college education more affordable for low- and middle-income families by making changes in federal student loan programs.
One provision of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act would gradually cut in half the interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans during the next five years. Another new program, to start in 2009, will give eligible borrowers (based on their income or a financial hardship) more flexibility when making loan repayments.
Look for details in the coming months at www.students.gov, a U.S. government Web site for college students and their families.

Pelvic Health and Awareness Series
The Pelvic Health and Awareness Series:
Develop greater awareness and control of your pelvic floor muscles.
The Pelvic Health and Awareness series will help you discover the full use of your pelvic floor and it's important relationship to the back, hip, and core muscles. The classes, based on Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement, combine easy full body movements, breathing, and imagery to facilitate the functional use of these deep muscles.
The pelvic floor muscles help support the internal organs. It is not only important to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, but also to learn how to relax these muscles. Developing the full use of the pelvic floor can help reverse some of the effects of aging, abdominal surgeries, hip replacements, hormonal changes or childbirth, prostate surgery or enlargement. The exercises can help with bladder control, constipation, back/pelvic/hip pain, balance, and sexuality.
The series is based on research evidence supporting the relationship of the pelvic floor muscles to breathing, the abdominal muscles, spine, and hips. The series is appropriate for women and men of any age. Class size is limited to a small group.
Instructor, Eleanor Nowacki, is an Aurora Health Care Physical Therapist and certified Feldenkrais Practitioner.

Network World - It wouldn't be a mischaracterization to equate the cloud computing industry to the wild, wild west.
Read Network World's other tech arguments.
There is such a variety of vendors gunning at one another and the industry is young enough that true winners and losers have not yet been determined. Amazon has established itself as the early market leader, but big-name legacy IT companies are competing hard, especially on the enterprise side, and a budding crop of startups are looking to stake their claims, too.
|Apple iOS vs. Google Android: It comes down to security
|Tablet smackdown: iPad vs Surface RT in the enterprise
|Cisco, VMware and OpenFlow fragment SDNs
|Cisco Catalyst 6500 vs. Cisco Nexus 700
In its latest Magic Quadrant report, research firm Gartner lists 14 infrastructure as a service (IaaS) companies, but Network World looked at four of the biggest names to compare and contrast: Amazon Web Services, Rackspace (and OpenStack), Microsoft and Google.
FREE CLOUDS! 12 Free cloud storage options
Amazon Web Services
It's hard to find someone who doesn't agree that Amazon Web Services is the market leader in IaaS cloud computing. The company has one of the widest breadths of cloud services - including compute, storage, networking, databases, load balancers, applications and application development platforms all delivered as a cloud service. Amazon has dropped its prices 21 times since it debuted its cloud six years ago and fairly consistently fills whatever gaps it has in the size of virtual machine instances on its platform - the company recently rolled out new high-memory instances, for example.
There are some cautions for Amazon though. Namely, its cloud has experienced three major outages in two years. One analyst, Jillian Mirandi of Technology Business Researcher, has suggested that continued outages could eventually start hindering businesses' willingness to invest in Amazon infrastructure.
That sentiment gets to a larger point about AWS though - the service seems to be popular in the startup community, providing the IT infrastructure for young companies and allowing them to avoid investing in expensive technology themselves. But Mark Bowker, a cloud analyst for Enterprise Strategy Group, says Amazon hasn't been as popular in the enterprise community. "Amazon's made it really easy for pretty much anyone to spin up cloud services or get VMs," he says. Where is Amazon getting those customers from? Some are developers and engineers who get frustrated by their own IT shops not being able to supply VMs as quickly as Amazon can, so they use Amazon's cloud in the shadows of IT. "Taxi cabs pay for a lot of VMs," says Beth Cohen, an architect at consultancy Cloud Technology Partners, referring to users expensing Amazon services on travel reports. The point is there's a hesitation by some enterprises to place their Tier 1, mission critical applications in a public cloud.
Amazon is looking to extend its enterprise reach though. In recent months the company has made a series of announcements targeting enterprises and developers. It rolled out Glacier, a long-term storage service, while it's made updates to its Elastic application development platform and its Simple WorkFlow Service, which helps developers automate applications running in Amazon's cloud.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests
For the past decade, Dr. Jeffrey's lab has performed molecular profiling of cancer cells with the goal of identifying tumor-specific therapies for the personalized treatment of cancer.
She was a member of the collaborative Stanford/Norway team that pioneered the use of DNA microarrays to measure global gene expression in solid tumors, and was involved in the development of the currently accepted classification schema for breast cancer subtypes based on gene expression profiles- such as low and high proliferation luminal, ERBB2(HER2)-overexpressing, and basal-like breast cancers (which then focused attention on triple negative breast cancers). Her laboratory refined RNA amplification techniques and developed expertise in the transcriptional profiling of tiny quantities of tumor tissue and in RNA isolation from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples.
Her research currently involves extracting and profiling circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood and bone marrow to shed light on the metastatic process and eventually to help guide selection of appropriate therapies in individual cancer patients. To facilitate this, Dr. Jeffrey and colleagues from the School of Engineering and Genome Technology Center invented a new technology, the MagSweeper, an automated immunomagnetic separation device that isolates live rare cells from blood with high purity and minimal impact on gene expression. Her lab performs high dimensional single cell analyses on CTCs to investigate how transcriptional profiles or mutational status of different CTC populations relate to metastases and drug response, particularly for newer therapies under development or in Phase I/II clinical trials. CTCs being studied include those from patients with cancers of the breast, prostate, lung, pancreas, and liver. Dr. Jeffrey's lab is also funded to perform preclinical testing on patient-derived xenograft models to identify molecular phenotypes of breast cancer that may be targeted by epigenetic pathway inhibitors drugs, working with colleagues at University of Utah to determine how these newer therapies may be best applied to different subtypes of breast cancer.
In the past, Dr. Jeffrey worked with Dr. Robert Mah at NASA Ames Research Center to study multiplex in-vivo physiologic attributes of breast tumors in real-time using a multisensor NASA Smart Probe that she co-developed with Dr. Mah. It is hoped that future studies will associate real-time physiological features with tumor and CTC profiles for intelligent drug selection.

vacation rental description
Prepare to be thoroughly spoiled at our beachfront condo at Colony Reef 2307! Between the breathtaking view of the ocean from our balcony and all the fun ways to relax at this condo community including an indoor heated pool and an outside oceanside pool, you are about to have the best vacation of your life!
First let's talk about the balcony, because we predict that's where you'll be spending a lot of your time! It's nothing like that narrow strip of cement-and-rail you may be used to at hotels. This is a full outdoor room, with views in two directions and room for a table and chairs with space to spare. Look out over the magnificent oceanside swimming pool and beautifully landscaped grounds and you will see the fabulous wild dunes, a strip of pure white beach, and the sparkling Atlantic! You'll also smell that fresh sea breeze and hear the low murmur of the crashing waves. What a lovely way to wake up each morning . . . and go to sleep to each night.
From the balcony you enter the living room of Colony Reef 2307, and here again, the first thing you may notice is the sheer space. This is a nice-sized room, with plenty of super-comfortable seating, a large LCD TV with DVD player and VCR, and a ceiling fan. One of the couches converts to sleep 2 people, should you wish. (And what a view of the sunrise those lucky folks will have! You may just have to use the sofa sleeper yourself one night to get a panoramic view of the dawn.)
Just beyond the living room is the kitchen, with a long low breakfast bar for informal dining and a convenient way to keep the cook involved in the conversation. You will love our kitchen. The space is economical, yet it has absolutely everything you could ask for, from all major and minor appliances to a full set of cookware, dishes, and utensils. There's even a little laundry room tucked back behind the kitchen, with a full washer and dryer at your disposal.
The dining area is fun and bright, with a beach-casual décor. Our glass-topped oval table is just the right size for playing board games, by the way -- and it's a good place to set up the laptop and use our free wireless Internet to update your Facebook status ("Saw dolphins in the surf this morning!"). In fact, the table usually becomes Command Central around here, so you might just have to eat out on the balcony. What a shame!
Getting a great night's sleep is so important to your vacation that you're going to love the bedrooms here at Colony Reef 2307. The master bedroom contains a queen-sized bed, with balcony access from the floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door, a TV, plenty of storage space, and an en-suite master bathroom. It will become your haven of peace and slumber after all those busy days!
The second bedroom offers 2 twin beds and a TV, and the third is our Crow's Nest, with 2 stationary twin beds. The kids will love the idea of sleeping here!
All of the linens, pillows, and blankets are provided for these beds, as are the towel sets for our two full bathrooms. No making an emergency run to Wal-Mart to buy an extra pillow; you'll have everything you need right at Colony Reef 2307.
Our condo is located on the second floor of the building, which has elevator service. Colony Reef is a fun and vibrant condo complex with outdoor and heated indoor swimming pools, a fitness room, sauna, hot tub, kids' playground, and both racquetball and tennis courts. There is always something new to try!
Beach access is just a few yards from your door, via a lovely zigzag walkway over the natural dunes. You may enjoy this walk almost as much as the destination! But when you reach those sugary sands and see the rolling waves, you know you've arrived. Located between Crescent and St. Augustine beaches, our strip of coastline is wonderfully uncrowded and just perfect for all activities, from sunbathing to surfing, castle-building to kite-flying.
Colony Reef 2307 has everything you need to create an unforgettable vacation: comfort, excitement, and beauty. Come stay at this little piece of paradi

Kentucky Energy Alliance meets in Elizabethtown
Industries gather for Roundtable and Facility Tour.
Following the KEA meeting, attendees were offered a tour of the Pearl Hallow Landfill Generating Station.
The fifth Kentucky Energy Alliance (KEA) meeting was held in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, on April 4, 2012, bringing together 29 industry and state government representatives. KEA meetings provide a forum for energy managers, facility engineers and operators from various industries to discuss their experiences and to learn from one another with respect to energy management at their facilities.
At the April meeting, KPPC provided an update on the program and the activities of the Center, including ISO-50001 efforts and funding changes. Executive Director Cam Metcalf also recognized five companies for their recent progress in the Kentucky Save Energy Now program. Finally, two member companies, Republic Conduit and Sypris Technologies, both of Louisville, detailed their recent energy management activities and successes.
Discussion Highlights:
During the KEA roundtable discussion, attendees talked about their personal experiences in trying to improve energy efficiency at their facilities through lighting upgrades, compressed air audits, sub-metering and wastewater treatment. The group also talked at length about the effect that changing the behaviors and habits of employees can have on the success of energy management programs.
Agreeing that behavioral change is a critical component of effective energy management, attendees described the challenges they have faced in bringing about such change. One attendee stressed that, "probably the most paramount thing you can engage in is behavioral change." Another agreed that it is worth it, but it takes time to see the results. Addressing behavioral change is part of the energy management process, and "sometimes insignificant things (like turning off the lights) become significant when you factor in behavior and the habits of individual employees."
Facility Tour:
Following the KEA meeting, attendees were offered a tour of the Pearl Hollow Landfill Generating Station, operated by the Nolin Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation. The station uses the methane gas produced from decaying garbage to power three generators at the landfill, generating up to 2.4 megawatts of electricity.

I'm planning to add an appliance to my house, and will want to do a pressure test of the newly installed gas lines. I'm getting confused about the pressure ratings of the various valves involved. My main shutoff says 175 PSI, but most of the appliance valves say either 1/2 or 5 PSI. Finally, I see a Nibco valve listed online <http://www.nibco.com/resources/ProductSubmittalDocs/GB1AGB2APV.pdf> that lists three different pressures: 1/2, 5, and 600 PSI CWP.
For the nibco valve, does that mean that it would be able to withstand up to 600 PSI of (cold) air/gas pressure, but should only be used as a main shutoff for up to 5 PSI, and an appliance shutoff where the working pressure is less than 1/2 PSI? Should the other shutoff valves rated at 1/2 or 5 be able to withstand the 4 PSI of the pressure test?
I plan to do the pressure test at about 4 PSI, with a gauge that reads up to 15 PSI. My biggest question is if I should cap off the lines before the shutoff valves, or close the shutoff valves and remove the caps on the traps so that excess pressure leaking through valves would be vented instead of damaging the appliance regulators.

772 2nd St Pike, Southampton, PA | Directions 1896640.175514 -75.043330
This is probably the best restaurant of it's kind in Buxmont. Had a combination platter of soup, sandwich & salad. Service was good, prices reasonable. It is such a small place however, that the noise level was significant. Made up my mind to go there more frequently, as I had forgotten how excellent the food was.
WOW – I'm floored. This is, hands down, my favorite restaurant. I can't even explain how delicious everything was. The portions were HUGE, my husband had 3 meals worth of leftovers the next day, just from what i couldn't finish of my appetizer and meal. It makes NO difference if you are vegan, vegetarian, or carnivore... the food is just out of this world. It was PACKED on a Thursday, be SURE to make reservations. We drove 1hour to get there, i don't regret a minute, and am considering moving closer so i can eat there every week, lol! I MUST go back soon! I cannot praise this place enough.
The Best Food I've had...ANYWHERE – I spent a lot of time looking for the best vegetarian restaurant in Philadelphia to surprise my girlfriend for her birthday. Blue Sage definitely did not disappoint. The food was not only the best vegetarian food that either of us had ever had, but quite possibly the best food we'd ever had...period. This is not for lack of trying other restaurants. I live 45 minutes away and definitely plan on going back. The goat cheese nachos are incredible (this is coming from somebody who normally does not like goat cheese). The salads really are all they're cracked up to be, and I didn't see a single entree brought out to other tables that didn't make me think to myself "why didn't I order that!?" The one thing that wasn't outstanding was the chocolate cake...probably because I didn't realize it was vegan. You can judge their prices for yourself on their website. I think they are very fair and reasonable, especially for the quantity and quality of food that you receive.
The decor is decent, the waitstaff reasonably attentive, and it is BYOB. Honestly none of that matters though. Just go for the food. You'll be blown away.
A GEM! – Probably the best food in the entire state! This little gem situated in a small strip mall is wonderful! Great decor, staff, and menu! We try to get here twice a month. Great for lunches! Mmmm- Market Cubano Sandwich! For dinner- the best appetizers- Blue Corn and Asparagus Tacos AND Adobo Goat Cheese Nachos! Outstanding! Always fresh! MAKE RESERVATIONS!
Not Just For Vegetarians.... – Just so anyone who hasn't dined at the Blue Sage yet knows the food is simply superb! (Even if you're a carnivore) The salads are to die for...especially the Spinach Fresco and unless you get the side dish size you probably won't be able to finish this scrumptious combination of fresh baby spinach, baba ghanous stuffed roasted tomatoes, feta cheese, roasted pistachios topped off with a crispy frazzle of carrots in a sort of maple balsamic vinigriette. Can you tell I love this salad? There are plenty more house specialties to enjoy from their cubano grilled sandwiches to their Blue Corn Tacos and they make one of the best cups of coffee in town.
One of my new Favorites! – I enjoyed every mouthful of my meal at Blue Sage! From the Thai carrot soup to the vegetable and smoked mozz quesadilla to the chocolate dessert, which I literally ate with my eyes closed to savor the thrilling sensation of mouthwatering bliss that danced upon my tongue... I could not have enjoyed my meal more!
The portions were huge! I split the main entre with my friend and had enough soup left over to last me a week! Needless to say, we finished the dessert!
The staff was so friendly and so helpful, I felt very comfortable in the charming atmosphere they created.
As a vegetarian, it can often be difficult finding gourmet quality food that suits a vegetarian lifestyle. Even as a non-vegetarian - This Food is amazing, the atmosphere lovely, and the options are all very healthy for you.
This is vegetarian? – Think of it as the superb cooking of vegetables, not a "vegetarian" restaurant. Highly inventive, very tasty food, beautifully presented. Tasty surprises in every dish. Watch out for the vegan desserts. There's a reason we eat dairy products--taste. The non-vegan desserts are much better.

We are at the end of week 4 guys. You are doing awesome. Anyone taking week 4 pics?
Body For Life Blog
hi guys. well the rest of my weekend wasnt good with holiday parties and such but the next two weeks are crunch time at school so i bought a lot of healthy food and im hoping to stay on track for the next two weeks because im going to Vegas at the end of december and Id like to enjoy that without too much worry.
Waking up at 445 to get in a lower body. I think I will do it at home though instead of the gym so hopefully it will still be a good workout! I packed cottage cheese as a snack and a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread for lunch and then havent decided on a snack yet.
Hope everyone has a great week!!! Is it week 5 already?!?! Woo hoo! We can do this everyone!
On freeday I ate in McDonald's with my son. We loved the fried chicken and ice cream. I felt tired due to my swollen tonsils. But I didn't miss out the ubwo. I am glad that I can stick to my exercise schedule. I cooked the delicious salmon with olive oil. I enjoyed it.
Im glad you still got the workout done ljyee!
I didnt end up working out this morning because I remembered I had time this afternoon to make it to the gym so I opted for 8 wonderful hours of sleep. somehow Im still tired... Never goes away.
Wasnt too hungry for breakfast but ate as much as I could and brought my food for the day so Im set!
Have a great day everyone!!
Week 5 yippie! Almost at the halfway point!
Hello group, this morning I opted to not weigh myself! I'm putting the scale away until February! I really wasn't in the mood to talk myself out of a funk if the scale decided it wanted to go berserk!
Have a great week all!
I am still around. I have been sick the last two days. Haven't been eating great, not bad just haven't ate much. I also didn't workout today. Just didn't have the energy to do it.
I am starting to feel better tonight. I will be back at it tomorrow.
I am also sick and will see doctor. So I decide no exercise for a day. I wanted to have some chocolate at a moment, the myoplex lite shake helped me to stay away from the temptation. It made me not wanting to eat other junk food. It's amazing experience.
hey guys. im sorry to hear everyone is sick!! Im just getting over my cold... guess its that tme of year! I hope you all feel better soon..lots of vitamin C!
Well yesterday food and exercise went well. Last night my roommate and her boyfriend woke me up at 1230 when i was planning on getting up at 430 so that sucked. I got up at 5 and just did a 20 min cardio at home it was still ok i used the app Nike training club. But now im exhausted and a bit annoyed.
Got my food prep all done for today though so thats good. Its awesome to hear everyone sticking with it despite set backs. Thats what its all about making changes!!
Have a great day!
I got back on track and did my lbwo. During my workout, I hurt my knee. So I just got part of the workout done. But I finished the ab workout. Started to prepare for the kid's meal, then for myself. My son asked me to open one Myoplex lite for him to drink. I told him that's not for kid. He then started crying. I had to calm him down by letting him doing something else. I still got my own food planned well for the day. That should give me the nutritions I need.
Mell, you are doing great. Woke up at 5 and did cardio workout, that's inspiring! Great job!
Brain, keep up the great work.
hi guys! ljyee im sorry you hurt your knee!! hopefully it will recover!! and that is too cute about your son...bodybuilder in the making :)
I was going to get up and do UB this morning but I really needed sleep so i slept almost 9 hours which isnt good because i have an exam today but i guess my body was trying to tell me something. Hopefully Ill muster the motivation to do it after the exam.
Hope everyone has a great day!! Stay with it guys!
Hi gang...lots of flu going around...I was super sick Sunday and Monday. then I took a nasty fall on Tuesday walking to work. I can't believe how badly I hurt my back, neck and ribs, not to mention the bruises and the ripped off fingernail...so needless to say, I am taking this week off from working out. My eating has not fallen off though and I am holding true to that and the water. Not beating myself up, nor looking for ways to quit or cheat. it is what it is. My body needs to heal a little, so Sunday morning is when I plan to start the week again...fingers crossed! Hope everyone else is doing well!
One of my friends died at a young age from cancer. She was such a nice mother and hard worker. She seemed eating right and did exercise. But still she died. Her husband told us that she alwasy felt grateful about her life. When I think about her, I am touched by her strength and peace.
I did my ubwo and got the food prepared for the day. Life is beautiful if we cherish it.
I'm in...51 yo male, needs to lose at least 25 pounds. Knocked out lower body this morning, tomorrow upper body, day three run, day four rest, then starts all over again. This has been my routine for years and am open to any suggestions.
max...are you going to follow the BFL eating?
I'm going to try...this morning I juiced, then salmon filet and sweet potatoes, then my daughter got home from school and talked me into Bob Evans...spaghetti and meat sauce...but I only ate half of it, then small ham sandwich for snack... by writing this down and seeing it I have alot of bad eating habits to modify...I do drink alot of water but my food intake is bad...I better work on that alot. thanks for mentioning that and prompting me to look at that aspect. I truly hope you are doing well with the challenge!

In 2011 we saw how one of Hip-Hop's most beloved MC, Big Boi was arrested on drug charges by Miami police. Ironically, what caused a serious buzz in the web and on the latest was that the Grammy winning rapper also have The Flintstones kid pills.
Hurricane game.net is a website dedicated to provide information related to famous artists of the hip hop and rap industry. Hip hop is a form of artistic culture and musical expression, which was originated in the African American and Hispanic communities in New York city in the 1970s. This culture is divided in four terms which are: Rapping, Disk Jockey (Djing) or scratching, Breakdance and Graffiti. Another related element of this music culture is Beat boxing. Hip hop is a lifestyle that includes rap music.
Rapping also known as Mcing is the primary term in rap and reggae music. This term refers to chanted or spoken rhyming lyrics. Rapping can be transmitted with an instrumental, also known as a beat or without a beat. Rapping is known to be traced back from its African roots. A disk jockey is the person who selects and plays music for the audience. A rap disk jockey uses the method for Djing called scratching. Scratching is a technique that is used to make sounds by moving a vinyl disk back and forth on the DJ turntable, while using the crossfader on the mixer to provide a distinctive sound. Breakdance is a popular street dance style, which is part of the culture among youths in New York city. This dance style consist of four elements: Downrock, toprock, suicides or freezes and power moves.
Graffiti is known as any type of public markings, which appears in form of words written in walls. Beat boxing is a form of producing vocal percussion by making rhythm, drum beats and music sounds by using the voice, mouth, tongue and lips. Beat boxing sometimes includes vocal imitation of the turntable, singing, imitation of strings, horns and other music instruments. This term is also used to refer vocal percussion in general.
Rap music is a type of music included in the culture of hip hop. Rap music is known to be a mix of poetic lyrics, rhyming and beats. A rap star or a hip hop star subject varies from commercialism to relationships. Famous rappers like to refer their music on various subjects such as: Sex, violence, love, race, crime, political issues, street life stories, etc. Rap came to the United States from the Caribbean Islands because of its large African population. Hurricane game.net has a variety of information related to the culture of Rap and their famous rappers.
One of the recent talents in the genre is The Game, also known as Hurricane Game, Chuck Taylor and Charles Louboutin is an African American rapper and actor. This rap star birth name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, who was born on November 29th of 1979. Hurricane game was born in Los Angeles, California and raised in Compton, California. The Game was raised in a gang banging and hustling environment, which later he decided to be part of the street gang called Bloods. In 1989 he met his rapper idol called Eazy-E, who was the founder of the gangsta rap group called N.W.A. The Game attended Compton High School from where he graduated in 1999. After graduation Hurricane game entered Washington State University, but later he was kicked out from the university because of drug possession.
The Game rap music career started when his brother and himself had established the record label called The Black Wall Street Records. On 2005 the hip hop star had become a member of G-Unit, on which he rose to fame with the debut album name The Documentary. After the debut of his album with G-Unit he had left the group because of certain issues. In 2006, The Game came with his second album called the Doctor's Advocate and his third album came out on 2008 called LAX.

EMILY's List, the heavy-hitting, liberal PAC, made its latest endorsement this week, vowing to help elect Democrat Michelle Nunn next year. That's a good thing for her: The three Senate candidates to whom it bundled money in the 2012 cycle all won their races, and the group's outside spending posted a success rate of more than 80 percent.
- LGBT Interests, Celebrating Court Rulings, Also Increasingly Active as DonorsJune 26, 2013 1:09 PM

- American Commitment's Missing MillionsApril 26, 2013 1:20 PM
American Commitment is an aggressive advocate for Republican causes, but its history and funding are murky. Other groups with its name have appeared and disappeared. And millions of dollars designated for one or another of the groups operating under the name seem to have vanished.

A fellow Democrat, though a sometimes wayward one, skewers the Obama group's fundraising plans. And Southern Co. is close to closing its $8.3 billion loan guarantee deal with the government. Oh yes, and recently it gave $100,000 to Obama's inaugural committee.
- Capital Eye Opener, Feb. 26: Staff Shuffling at Dem Groups, Adelson Sues for Libel and MoreFebruary 26, 2013 9:06 AM
EMILY's List, one of the biggest Democratic fundraising groups in the 2012 cycle, gets a new national press secretary from Priorities USA Action, the pro-Obama super PAC. Sheldon Adelson sues over being called "foul-mouthed." And CPAC warms up for its confab next month, but leaves Garden State Gov. Chris Christie off the invitation list.
- Oscar Nominees Award Dems Millions in Political MoneyFebruary 22, 2013 5:24 PM
Politicians watching the Oscars this weekend of course will be seeing stars, just like the rest of us. But many of them -- Democrats, at least -- may see something much more alluring: dollar signs. Of the 51 actors, directors and producers nominated for the six most-watched categories, 25 nominees or their spouses have contributed to a political candidate or cause since 1990, nearly all of them Democratic. Most supported Obama either in 2008 or 2012, or both. And "Lincoln" is the money-and-politics blockbuster of the year.
- American Crossroads Brought in $37 Million in Last-Chance CashDecember 7, 2012 3:54 PM

- Crossroads' $175 Million StrikeoutNovember 8, 2012 4:48 PM
As a super PAC, American Crossroads was responsible for about $105 million of the total $631 million spent on independent expenditures by super PACs in the 2012 election cycle -- but it came out on the winning side just 21 percent of the time. Crossroads GPS spent more than $70 million on top of that and had a success rate that was only slightly better -- just 29 percent.
- Blue Team Aided by Small Donors, Big Bundlers; Huge Outside Spending Still Comes Up ShortNovember 7, 2012 7:38 PM
President Barack Obama clinched a second term last night relying on many of the same campaign finance tools he used in his pre-Citizens United victory in 2008: party support and an in-house campaign finance operation that turned to individual donors and a web of elite bundlers to expand its reach. He received comparatively little help from outside spending groups. But that's not to say super PACs and secretive nonprofit groups had no influence on the election -- although they heavily favored conservative candidates, many of whom lost, they created an arms race that helped drive the cost of election to record levels.

The race between Tammy Baldwin and Tommy Thompson for a Wisconsin Senate seat shows Thompson's fundraising has been far less hearty than Baldwin's -- but what a difference name recognition makes.
- Following the Money in the Wisconsin, Florida and Connecticut PrimariesAugust 15, 2012 10:54 AM
This year's long, expensive and often unpredictable primary season is drawing to a close, but could still have some surprises in store. Races in Wisconsin and Florida pitted Tea Party favorites against members of the Republican old guard, and candidates are divided not just by philosophy but by fundraising style and super PAC support.
- Capital Eye Opener, July 12: Pro-lesbian Super PAC Launches, Santorum's Nonprofit Alters Course and the NAB Keeps Up Ad Disclosure Fight July 12, 2012 9:17 AM

The Supreme Court might have upheld the individual mandate, but in turn it gave the Republicans a mandate of their own: keep control of the House of Representatives, take control of the Senate and, of course, put Mitt Romney in the White House.
This healthcare law has never been a popular one and it has been roundly rejected by much of America. The Democrats and the White House have not been truthful about this law, and now that the Supreme Court has defined it for what it is — a massive tax increase on everyone, including the middle class and the poor — whatever bump in popularity Obama and Obamacare might have gotten from Thursday's ruling will be erased when people start to see how much it's really going to cost them.
The reality of the situation is that this is no victory for the president or the Democrats. They passed a law that survived a review by the Supreme Court. Whoop-dee-doo. That happens all the time. The devil, as they say, is in the details.
The Supreme Court may have spared the individual mandate, but now Obama has to justify it to a worried and grumpy electorate. It is the law of the land, and he will spend the next four months running from his broken campaign promises and trying to defend Obamacare. Remember what the Individual Mandate actually does. It requires everyone to spend a big chunk of their income on health insurance or pay a fine that could amount to several thousand dollars. Since the court has ruled that the fine, which will be levied by the IRS, is actually a tax, this amounts to a massive tax increase for two big groups that Obama is counting on for support: the young and the poor. The one part of the law that was struck down by the court, Medicaid expansion, would have provided insurance for these people but that's not happening.
This is a bitter pill to swallow for a man who said in 2008, "I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."
He broke that promise a little bit with the tanning salon tax and a little more with cigarette taxes to fund SCHIP, but this one takes the cake. This is a tax increase of several thousand dollars on the poor and the middle class, and the Supreme Court has confirmed it. This isn't political spin, it's the law.
Currently, polls have both President Obama and Mitt Romney in the mid-40s. Obamacare has been intensely divisive and now it's the centerpiece of campaign 2012. As long as the Republicans don't muck it up with talk about abortion and contraception, the court's decision may be a winner for the Republicans.
Many Democrats nationwide have distanced themselves as much as possible from Obamacare and the public anger that led to huge losses for them in 2010. As much as they would like it to go away, it won't. It's big news now and it's the centerpiece of every campaign from Romney on down.
The Democrats are doing their best to bury the rejection of the Medicaid expansion, but herein lies the key to securing a Romney victory in November. The expansion, which would have quadrupled the Medicaid population in some states, isn't going to happen. Now, when the mandate kicks in, Americans will be hit with the biggest tax increase in decades. In an attempt to fundamentally transform the health care insurance system in this country the Democrats have unwittingly committed a cardinal sin and raised taxes on their most ardent supporters.
If the Republicans want to win this November and make a Romney presidency a reality, they need to release their own health care reform plans to give Americans a real choice.
Many have heralded this ruling as a colossal victory for Obama and the Democrats but that just isn't the case. This debate will rage on from now until Election Day, and if Romney and other Republicans play their cards right, Obama's signature accomplishment will lead to his undoing.

Bestselling Japanese novelist Keigo Higashino puts physics professor Manabu Yukawa on another tricky case in SALVATION OF A SAINT (after THE DEVOTION OF SUSPECT X, 2011).
And if the title sounds familiar it might be because Robin Beerbower mentioned this one during the Shout n' Share panel at BEA!
Yoshitaka, who was about to leave his wife, is poisoned by arsenic-laced coffee. His wife, Ayane, is the logical suspect except that she was hundreds of miles away at the time of the murder. The lead detective, Tokyo Police Detective Kusanagi, is immediately smitten with her so his assistant does what her boss has done for years when stymied—she calls upon Professor Manabu Yukawa.
"Higashino has taken the art and craft of mystery writing to a new level of excellence." -Library Journal (starred review)
"Howdunit, rather than whodunit, appears to be the central question of Edgar-finalist Higashino's brilliant second mystery. [...] While readers of classic mysteries will be delighted with the elegant solution, the book will also appeal to fans of procedurals that carefully develop the relationships among the investigative team members." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Kirkus Reviews included it as one of their "10 Hot Crime Novels for Colder Days."Read more

Keigo Higashino's Japanese, Hitchcockian thriller, THE DEVOTION OF SUSPECT X, is scooping up even more starred reviews, this time in audio!
"David Pittu's narration adds a humanity and passion to the proceedings, especially evident in the scenes in which Ishigami goes head to head with wily Dr. Yukawa. The former's calm manner of speaking seems to be concealing a feverishly working mind, while the doctor is evidently enjoying himself immensely. Pittu transforms those and other moments from mere wordplay into a thrilling game of cat and mouse in the Alfred Hitchcock tradition." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"What might be classified as a procedural develops considerable psychological depth, aided by Tony Award-winning actor David Pittu's subtle, sensitive reading, through which he artfully manages to accentuate the characters' conflicted emotions. Recommended for crime novel enthusiasts and those interested in Japanese culture." —Library Journal (starred review)
"Told with cool simplicity…Higashino's 'just the facts, ma'am' style belies his brilliant evocation of Ishigami as he enters into a cat-and-mouse battle of wits with a former acquaintance, a super-smart physics professor who is the only man able to fathom the depths of the mathematician's devotion. David Pittu is an amazingly skillful narrator, brushing the dialogue with an almost imperceptible hint of an accent, subtly building suspense as the inevitable end looms." —BookPage, Top Pick of the MonthRead more
We now have 3 starred advance reviews for The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino – and fingers crossed for the hoped for Booklist…

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Charlie Crist has received proposed legislation that would require women seeking an abortion during the first trimester to undergo an ultrasound exam and pay for it.
Crist has 15 days to decide whether to sign the bill, allow it to become law without his signature or veto it.
Crist has frequently said he has many concerns about the bill (HB 1143) that contains anti-abortion measures added in the final hours of the session without any committee hearings on them.
The Republican-led Legislature added amendments onto an otherwise non-controversial measure that also would require women to view the live image or have it described by a doctor unless they could prove they were victims of rape, incest or domestic violence.

FOR 27 minutes Willie Mason sat on the sideline, casting a formidable shadow over last night's proceedings.
Then came the call from master coach Wayne Bennett and out trotted the 233rd man to play first grade for the Newcastle Knights, prompting a rumble of anticipation among the 16,892-strong crowd at Hunter Stadium.
Novocastrians have cheered for plenty of home-grown NRL heroes over the past 25 years.
Names like Johns, Harragon and Gidley played out famous careers in their own backyard.
But few players in the club's history would have enjoyed a more welcoming reception on their debuts than the 32-year-old former Test forward.
In his 10 previous appearances at Turton Road, big Willie was always cast in the role of pantomime villain.
Whether he was wearing the colours of Canterbury, the Roosters or North Queensland, Mason was a Toronto boy.
The one who got away.
But last night, for the first time, Knights fans were able to embrace him as their own.
The roar when he entered the contest must have been worth at least 12 points as a home-ground advantage.
And Mason is a master of playing to an audience.
Within minutes of taking the field, he was charging into the rucks, milking penalties and crunching opponents in defence, his every effort greeted with encouragement and applause.
Given that he had not played in the NRL since round 26, 2010 – 604 days earlier, to be precise – it was a promising display.
Give him a month or so to build form and match fitness, and he should only improve.
To be fair, these were ideal circumstances for a comeback.
Penrith have been in awful form, as consecutive 30-0 hammerings would suggest.
And they were already 10-4 down and lucky to be still in touch when Mason entered the fray.
When he was replaced 21 minutes later, it was 16-4 and soon afterwards, the floodgates opened for the home side.
In his brief stint, punctuated by the half-time break, Mason produced six runs, 47 attacking metres and eight tackles.
He was sucking in deep breaths when he was replaced and immediately applied ice to his left hamstring.
Later, he declared himself ''sweet''.
''It was a relief to get it out the way and great to come away with the win,'' he said.
Meanwhile, the casualty toll mounted at an alarming rate.
Senior Knights Danny Buderus (Achilles) and Kurt Gidley (shoulder) were replaced and did not return.
Penrith lost Luke Walsh, Michael Jennings and Luke Lewis.
Among all the carnage, the Knights produced some of their best football of the season.
Left-edge colleagues Timana Tahu and James McManus were in lethal form out wide.
The six tries were a perfect reply to those critics who have been querying Newcastle's spluttering attack.
It is too early to label Willie Mason a saviour.
Last night's display was only a cameo. But it was a start. A solid start.
Afterwards, Bennett offered a wry smile when asked to assess Mason's performance.
''I think one [stint] was enough for Willie tonight,'' Bennett said.
''He talked it up enough. I don't think he had any more energy.''
Knights halfback Jarrod Mullen said Mason had been a great addition ''on and off the field''.
''He's really taken ownership of the forwards, and you could really see the forwards lift when he came on the field,'' Mullen said.
''You could see what the crowd thinks of him, so he definitely lifts the boys when he's out there.''
