FAYETTEVILLE, AR -- A group of 13 Aggies will conclude the indoor track and field season this weekend as they compete in the NCAA Indoor Championships, hosted by the University of Arkansas on March 14-15.
"We are taking enough people to be successful," Texas A&M head coach Pat Henry said. "If everybody on each side does what they are capable of doing, I think both teams have the opportunity to be successful.
"We qualified a good group of people to this indoor championship, with a little bit of experience as well as some new people as well. I feel good about the youth and experience we have in the meet."
With six athletes qualified for six events in the national meet, the No. 5 ranked Texas A&M women will likely have the arsenal to produce its highest finish ever in school history this weekend at the Randal Tyson Center.
Placing 13th with 17 points in the 2007 NCAA Indoor meet established the benchmark for the best performance by an Aggie women's squad at an indoor national championship. The A&M squad is predicted to finish in the top five, according to a form chart by Track & Field News, who predicts a 40-point output for the Aggies.
The group of A&M women who qualified for the meet includes Simone Facey (60, 200, 4x4), Porscha Lucas (60, 200), Jessica Beard (400, 4x4), Jennifer Williams (60 hurdles, 4x4), Ashika Charan (triple jump), Sandy Wooten (4x4) and Allison George (4x4 alternate).
A crew of seven Aggies will contest five events in the men's field, focusing on the sprint and jump areas. Leading the No. 23 ranked Texas A&M men will be a 4 x 400 relay squad that ranks third in the nation with a qualifying time of 3:06.68.
The foursome on the relay includes Justin Oliver, Chris Dykes, Nick Robinson and A.C. Robinson. Two members of the relay, Oliver and A.C. Robinson, were on the Aggie silver-medal 4x4 relay at the NCAA Outdoor Championships last summer.
Joining the relay in the national meet are Gerald Phiri (60), Dykes (200), Julian Reid (long jump, triple jump), Zuheir Sharif (triple jump) and Morquise Cleveland (4 x 400 alternate).
Lucas will enter the women's NCAA meet as the world leader in the 200 meters with her time of 22.86 seconds from winning the Big 12 Championship. Track & Field News has tabbed Lucas as the favorite for NCAA gold this weekend in an early form chart on the meet with Facey selected as the runner-up. The Aggie duo recently combined for a 1-2 finish at the Big 12 meet.
In addition to leading the world list at 200 meters for the 2008 season, Lucas moved to No. 8 on the American collegiate list for the event and is No. 14 on the U.S. all-time list.
Also favored to win her event is freshman Jessica Beard, who has run a best of 52.61 and ranks fifth on the national collegiate list. Her progression through the season has been steady, running marks of 52.87 (Feb. 2, oversized track 3rd), 53.02 (Feb. 9, 1st), and capping it with a 52.61 for the Big 12 title.
Beard currently tops the World Junior indoor list for the 400 and is sixth on the 200 list with a best of 23.75 on a 200m track. Beard's mark of 23.68 is the top junior time on an oversized track this season.
"What's on paper is of little consequence once you get to the championship meet," noted Henry. "Things have to happen and athletes have to be ready to compete.
"I've been here enough to know that it's great to have a leading performance going in. We've talked to our team about trying to copy that kind performance, the performance that got you here. Let's try to repeat that type of performance and the environment may dictate that you do a little bit better."
Recently the men's relay squad placed second at the Big 12 Championships with a time of 3:08.34. Then during a NCAA qualifying meet in Ames, Iowa, the quartet blistered a conference-leading time of 3:06.68 on the oversized track at Iowa State.
"One thing about the mile relay I'm extremely pleased with is how we rebounded from losing our opening leg during the season," Henry stated.
"Bryant McCombs, an All-American on our NCAA runner-up relay from last season, went down with an injury during practice a month ago. We had somebody in Nick Robinson who was able to push himself and he has done a very good job for our relay to run that fast without McCombs."
Facey, who earned three All-America honors during the NCAA Indoor Championships last season, will contest the 60, 200 and 4 x 400 this weekend. Last year Facey placed fifth in the 200, seventh in the 60 and was part of the silver-medal effort A&M produced in the 4 x 400 relay.
This indoor season has seen Facey set indoor career best marks in the 60 and 200 with times of 7.23 seconds and 22.96, as she was the runner-up in both events during the Big 12 Championships.
After earning another set of three All-America honors at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, Facey quickly became one of the most decorated females in A&M history with a total of six All-America honors in one season.
If Facey achieves another set of three All-America honors this weekend she will surpass the women's top total of eight held by Adrien Sawyer as well as the total of eight earned on the men's side by three Aggies – Howard Davis, Stanley Kerr and Randy Matson. In the process she would also pass Clora Williams (7) and Andre Cason (7).
"Simone Facey has had some great experiences in the NCAA meet, she is one of our seniors in this group," said Henry. "She has a lot of experience competing in meets on a very high level."
Dykes, a junior, will also contest the men's 200 meters, where he earned All-America honors last season with a third-place finish at the NCAA Indoor meet. Last season Dykes recorded a career best time of 20.67 seconds in placing third. This season he has run 20.97 twice, once on a 200-meter track and once on an oversized venue.
Freshman Gerald Phiri qualified for the 60-meter field with a career best mark of 6.64, which also set the Texas A&M school record. He first tied the school record of 6.67 at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational in New York City and then lowered the standard to 6.64 while winning the Husky Classic in Seattle the following weekend.
During the Big 12 Championships Phiri raced to a silver medal with a clocking of 6.65 as he led a scoring trio of Aggies, who accumulated 12 points in the final.
The women's relay unit is tabbed for second place behind LSU in the national meet. The Aggies, who were runner-up in 2007, held the collegiate leading mark for a majority of the indoor season with a time of 3:34.61 they set in defeating South Carolina (3:35.32) at the McCravy Memorial in Kentucky. A&M's time is currently third on the NCAA list.
LSU took over the collegiate lead when they won the SEC title with a 3:31.89 while South Carolina was second in 3:33.34. Texas A&M bettered LSU early in the season, posting a 3:35.32 to the Tigers' 3:37.19 at the Razorback Invitational.
During the New Balance Collegiate Invitational in New York City, both LSU (3:34.74) and South Carolina (3:35.53) finished ahead of the Aggies (3:39.40). It was the only setback the A&M women have had in the 4 x 400 this season as the main unit has claimed four titles this season – the Razorback Invitational, Kentucky's McCravy Memorial, Washington's Husky Classic and the Big 12 Championship.
Jennifer Williams will represent the Aggies in the 60 hurdles, where she ranks 15th with a time of 8.25 seconds. Williams recorded the time during the semifinals of the Big 12 meet and it marked the second time she has lowered her career best in the event this season. She opened the year with a personal best of 8.30 at the Razorback Invitational and then lowered it to 8.26 at the Husky Classic in Seattle. In the Big 12 final Williams posted an 8.31 for runner-up honors.
In the jumping events sophomore Zuheir Sharif earned a return visit to the NCAA Indoor Championships while freshman Julian Reid qualified for both the long and triple jump. Also competing in both jumping events on the women's side is sophomore Ashika Charan.
Sharif placed ninth last season indoors and then improved to fifth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. His outdoor season continued with a U.S. Junior title and a silver-medal performance at the Pan Am Junior Championships held in Brazil. Sharif's efforts led to a No. 10 ranking in the U.S. triple jump by Track & Fields News.
An indoor career best of 52-3 ¼ (15.93) was established by Sharif this indoor season as he placed third in New York. He recently finished fifth at the Big 12 Championships with a mark of 50-10 ¼ (15.50).
Reid enjoyed a winning performance in the long jump during the Big 12 meet and added a fourth-place finish in the triple jump to tie for high-point honors as he scored 14 points. A career best indoor mark of 25-5 ½ (7.76) claimed the Big 12 long jump for Reid while he reached a distance of 51-6 ½ (15.71) in the triple jump.
Earlier in the season Reid registered a personal best of 51-9 ¼ (15.78) in placing fourth at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational in New York.
Charan is in the triple jump field with her personal best mark of 43-6 ½ (13.27) she set in Arkansas when she won the Razorback Invitational in January. Charan will also contest the long jump, where her best is 20-6 ½ (6.15).
In addition to her early season victory in the triple jump, Charan added a third-place effort at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational in New York City and earned a silver medal at the Big 12 Championships.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Sep 01st, 1994
Running Time: 75
Director: Fabrizio Masi
Company: Paradise Visuals
Cast: Greta Carlson, Michael J. Cox, Rick Masters, Kimberly Kupps, Brooke Dunn, Jake Williams, Sally Layd
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Anal and gang bang seem to be the order of the day lately, and sometimes it appears that big boob lovers are getting left in the lurch. But this latest entry in what appears to be a series (check out Double D Housewives) is one of the best features for tit men in a long time.
Michael J. Cox owns a uniform supply house that outfits nurses. But the blouses that he sells to Greta Carlson and her girls have the ladies busting out all over. Cox follows Kimberly Kupps to her house to take special measurements to remedy the situation, and winds up measuring just about every part of Kimberly. Fresh-faced Brooke Dunn is another nurse that is just popping out of her top and Cox employee Jake Williams is there to catch the spillage. Likewise, brassy Sally Layd has a good scene with Rick Masters, who unfortunately proves that he does not yet have the comic timing or abilities of a Mike Horner or Jonathan Morgan. But the sex is good, and Sally is really voluptuous, so what the heck?
Top marks and pre-nomination nods go to the Greta-Sally girl/girler and the Greta-Williams-Cox trio. Good camerawork and the usual Carlson enthusiasm (usually more evident in her features than her bondage work) raise these two scenes above the norm. Good casting and lots of emphasis on the girls' chests make this a prized possession for all mammary maniacs.

GenomeTrakr Network
Labs Outside the U.S. Contributing to GenomeTrakr Map (PDF: 671KB)
The GenomeTrakr network is the first distributed network of laboratories to utilize whole genome sequencing for pathogen identification. It consists of public health and university laboratories that collect and share genomic and geographic data from foodborne pathogens. The data, which are housed in public databases at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), can be accessed by researchers and public health officials for real time comparison and analysis that promises to speed foodborne illness outbreak investigations and reduce foodborne illnesses and deaths.
- Fast Facts - Includes updates on the number of pathogens sequenced
- GenomeTrakr: Revealed
- GenomeTrakr: Pushing Back the Frontiers of Outbreak Response
- GenomeTrakr: Transforming Food Safety
- Access the GenomeTrakr Database at NCBI
- Joining and Using the GenomeTrakr Network
Real Time Food Safety Applications of the GenomeTrakr Network
FDA/CDC Real Time Listeria Project
Further integrating the marriage of clinical, food, and environmental pathogen analysis, FDA has partnered with CDC in an effort to sequence every clinical, food, and environmental isolate of Listeria monocytogenes collected in the U.S. CDC is primarily sequencing clinical samples while FDA and the state laboratories are sequencing food and environmental samples. The genomic sequences and corresponding collection information for the samples are publicly available via the NCBI website.
Minn./Wash./NY/FDA Real Time Salmonella Enteritidis Project
State labs in Minnesota, Washington, and New York have paired with FDA to conduct real time sampling of Salmonella Enteritidis isolates from clinical, food, and environmental samples. The genomic sequences and corresponding collection information for the samples are publicly available in the GenomeTrakr database maintained by NCBI.
Additional Foodborne Pathogen Sequencing
GenomeTrakr member labs initially focused their whole genome sequencing efforts primarily on Salmonella and Listeria pathogen isolates. However, performing whole genome sequencing on other foodborne pathogens will further leverage the public health benefits that can be derived from the open sharing of the genomic information. To this end FDA and its partners are also sequencing E. coli, Campylobacter, Vibrio, Cronobacter, etc. isolates, as well as parasites and viruses. Many public health laboratories have pathogen isolates from past outbreaks stored in their freezers. These isolates hold a treasure trove of genomic information waiting to be unlocked by whole genome sequencing. FDA encourages those labs to sequence those isolates and upload the genomic information to the GenomeTrakr database at NCBI.
Joining and Using the GenomeTrakr Network
For information about joining the GenomeTrakr network as a sequencing lab, providing isolates to a current member lab for sequencing, or using the GenomeTrakr database as a research tool, please contact FDA at email@example.com.

Is there a way to transfer my UI to another computer with a different resolution? (self.WowUI)
submitted 3 years ago by Mathman27
Hey guys,
I recently got a laptop that runs at 1366x768 and want to transfer my current WoW UI to it, but my desktop has a 1080p resolution. Is there a way to get the game to scale the addons so they have the same relative size, just scaled down to the lower resolution? If not, is there a simpler way of solving this problem than simply recreating my UI on the smaller screen?
[–]mohabu 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
You could try using the ui scaling option in the system settings after you copy over your wtf/interface folders. Most addons also have their own scale that you change.
If your desktop isn't widescreen the scaling probably won't work too well, but copying your wtf/interface folders will at least save you from having to recreate from scratch.

For those of u ignorant people who question rather or not Matthew's son belongs to him, he does. Matthew's father is white there for Matthew's son will be white. It's simply genetics people, maybe u should read about It. for the record he looks a lot like Matthew's father....so I wonder how that would happen if he didn't belong to Matthew?!?!

maybe matthews father be the baby daddy. who we talkin about anyway?

I would love to know where people get their information from. All this bs that people talk about my family is nothing but he said she said sh**, and probably from people who don't even know anyone in my family personally. Everyone in Hugo are all the same, a bunch of judgmental, two faced, backstabbers. you want to talk about all of us being nasty, no good for nothing, blah blah blah....take a look at your own life before you talk about someone else's. I bet I could get on here and run my mouth about a lot of people and it be the truth. NO one is perfect, everyone has a past. If your not happy with your life choices fix them and stop trying to find fault in other's to justify it. take a look at what you are doing. Words in the right hands can powerful, you could ruin someone's life. Before anyone tries to cause problems between my baby's dad and me again, its not working. He knows the baby belongs to him. He knows me just a little better than anyone spreading that rumor that I got pregnant while he was out of town. I know that I probably just wasted my time and people will comment and continue to talk sh** but that's ok. What goes around comes around, just remember that and remember who you're talking about.

And the next person who wants to talk, why don't you try letting us all know who u are or saying to my face?? Bunch of cowards....ha that's ok because if I were u, I would be too.

all talk and no bite, you wouldnt do sht to no one if given the chance. you with the wide open legs or your dopenose brother. matthew is way too good for y'all

Rashida Jones: Love Jones
Following her appearance in The Social Network, Rashida Jones has updated her Hollywood status with choice roles in The Big Year and The Muppets this fall. But after cohosting the GLAAD Awards, the 35-year-old Parks and Recreation star hopes to add more gay fans to her rising profile by playing a lesbian lawyer opposite Zooey Deschanel in Our Idiot Brother, a dysfunctional family comedy in theaters August 26.
The Advocate: You hosted the Los Angeles GLAAD Media Awards in April with your Parks and Recreation costar Amy Poehler. How did you get that gig?
Rashida Jones: I think they asked us because Bob Greenblatt, our new boss at NBC, was being honored. And possibly because there's always a subtle lesbian love story happening with my character and Amy's character on the show.
What was the highlight of your night?
I met Dolly Parton, which made my year. She's the greatest.
Did you feel the love from the gay crowd?
It was a very warm, receptive room. It might've been because everybody was drunk, but I'll take it. We managed to make some jokes at their expense, and they were really good sports.
You thanked honoree Ricky Martin for years of fantasy fodder, adding, "Come back any time, boo." How did you take the news of his coming out?
I took it pretty personally. I felt betrayed. No, I was actually really happy, because I know it's incredibly difficult for a pop star to come out — especially as a Latino, a community where there can be a lot of homophobia. What he did was incredibly brave. But he's a hottie, and I like thinking he still wants to have sex with me.
So his being gay doesn't spoil the fantasy.
Oh, trust me, the fantasies are still there and not going away. You can fantasize about anyone, and the truth is that they're probably not thinking about you anyway. So, no, his coming out has not come between us.
Are you typically shocked when someone comes out?
I'm never shocked. If there weren't still such a stigma, half of the acting and music community would come out. Luckily, there's less of a stigma every day.
During the ceremony you also played a gay soldier in a brief skit spoofing the "don't ask, don't tell" stalemate. Was it important for you to bring some political commentary to your hosting duties?
Absolutely. We were making fun of bureaucracy, especially as it affects the gay community. I'm so happy that "don't ask don't tell" has been repealed, because it's such a ridiculous notion, but it just shows that things take a long time. There's still a lot of change that needs to happen in this country.
Among your other philanthropic efforts, you were a vocal supporter of Obama's presidential campaign. Do you feel a responsibility to use your celebrity for political statements?
I waver on that. Sometimes I hear myself and think, Shut the fuck up. Your job is to act, and that's all people want to see you doing. But it's nice to be able to use this stupid thing I've been anointed with to put some focus on somebody else.
You also participated in Marc Shaiman's Prop. 8 – The Musical.
That was probably one of the most enjoyable days of my life, and I'm happy that so many people saw it. I really wanted to be a part of pushing back on all the hatred that allowed Prop. 8 to pass. I have a lot of close friends who had to scramble to get married before that passed, and it's just so silly. Celebrities or not, people should speak out and say what's unfair. The fight for marriage equality shouldn't be some secret, hidden agenda; it's something everyone should know about.
Because your parents are Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton, did you have any famous gay people coming over to the house when you were growing up?
I do have very vivid memories of David Geffen, Sandy Gallin, and those guys coming around. They were so powerful, and I remember always thinking that they lived such beautiful, luxurious, sophisticated lives, so I had a very positive association with gay men from an early age. My mom's best friend, Alan, and his boyfriend were always around too. I never had a moment where I discovered being gay as a thing; I only had a moment of discovering that it might not be everybody's bag and that there were people out there who discriminated against it. For me, gay people have always been aspirational.
Maya Rudolph told The Advocate that because she was of mixed race, she gravitated toward gay people due to their shared outsider perspective.
I can completely relate to that. I would never claim marginality, and wasn't really aware of my race when I was a kid, but I did have a hard time figuring out where I belonged when I went to college. I wanted to be a part of the black community, but it didn't feel like I quite fit in there, and the other kids I wanted to hang out with didn't necessarily want to hang out with me. So my social circle did end up being very gay, and my best friend was a gay man. Maybe the groups we originally wanted to hang out with weren't accepting of us, but we all liked each other, so we were like, "Fuck it. Let's all just hang out together."
As an actress, when did you become aware of the gay audience?
I've been angling for a gay following for years. I don't know if it's official, but if doing this interview is declaring that I have one, I'd just like to say, "Thank you very much. I'm deeply honored."
The lesbian community is abuzz over your role as Cindy, a lesbian lawyer, in Our Idiot Brother.
I have heard that, yes, and I actually looked to my lesbian friends for approval of my portrayal of a lesbian. That's crazy, of course, because there's such a large gamut that lesbians run, but they gave me the thumbs up.
How did you create Cindy's butch look?
The director, Jesse Peretz, had a clear idea of what he wanted aesthetically, and then Chris Peterson, our costume designer, dressed me like a boy he would be attracted to. He said, "If I'm not attracted to you by the end of our fitting, I haven't done my job." I wear these insane glasses and dress super-ironic preppy, but I didn't want to do anything too cartoonish or stereotypical. When I first saw myself in the movie, I thought, Ooh, that was a bold choice I'm not so sure about. But then I was OK, because I feel like the actual character wasn't as informed by her sexuality as the look was. For me, it was less about Cindy being in a lesbian couple and more about her being the one in the couple who's the more stable and consistent caretaker.

Auditor praises Vt. action on tax districtsMay 20,2013
MONTPELIER Vermont State Auditor Doug Hoffer is praising lawmakers for passing legislation to clean up glitches in the states so-called tax increment financing program.
Tax increment financing is a public financing method that provides communities with a means to fund redevelopment and infrastructure improvements. A community is allowed to borrow money against the future growth in property tax revenue within a designated TIF district that is made possible by the improvements.
Last year, then-Auditor Tom Salmon issued a report saying that some cities and towns had not handled their TIF districts properly and therefore owed money to the state education fund a finding disputed by the municipalities.
Hoffer said the bill passed by lawmakers should clear up ambiguities in the law that likely contributed to the problems.MORE IN Vermont NewsPHILADELPHIA Vermonts delegation to the Democratic National Convention took center stage...

Safe to say Brad Paisley won't be ditching his country career for politics anytime soon.
"I'm uncomfortable campaigning," the singer-songwriter – and nominee for the ACM's Entertainer of the Year award – said in Franklin, Tenn., at a party this week in honor of his two No. 1 songs, "Welcome to the Future" and "American Saturday Night."
"Honestly, I don't like that part of it. I understand that people love to get involved and it's cool that they can, but vote for who you want."
Paisley, 37, is actually one of eight country artists in the running for the top honor at this year's Academy of Country Music Awards, airing Sunday, April 18, on CBS at 8 p.m./7 p.m. Central, with Reba McEntire as host.
The award – the ACM's top honor – is selected by fans via an online ballot, with voting to begin April 1.
Paisley's competition includes last year's winner Carrie Underwood, along with Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Toby Keith, George Strait, Zac Brown Band and four-time winner Kenny Chesney.

In the cut and thrust of the compact hatch market, a car needs a unique selling point to stand out. The Skoda Octavia's has always been to offer acres of space at a value price, but the new model builds on this by adding a level of luxury never before seen from the brand.
In its first test, the Octavia meets two cars that also offer their own unique take on the class. The Honda Civic brings a futuristic edge to the mix thanks to its radical looks, while the all-new 1.6 i-DTEC diesel promises decent performance and low running costs.
Completing our line-up is our current class favourite, and the benchmark to test the Skoda's upmarket aspirations: the VW Golf.
The two cars are built on the same platform, so should offer similar performance on the road, but does the new Octavia deliver the premium feel that will finally propel it past its classy cousin?
The new Octavia is another giant step forward for Skoda. Class-leading rear space and practicality are now matched by a high-quality interior with equipment to embarrass cars in the sector above.
The efficient 1.6-litre TDI diesel isn't as refined or powerful as the impressive new engine in the Civic, plus the Octavia isn't as rewarding to drive as the Golf. But for those wanting a sensible and cheap-to-run family car, it's close to perfect.
Yet the Volkswagen is slightly better. It's almost as practical, is sharper to drive and has more premium appeal. And while it's more expensive to buy than the Octavia, strong residuals and low running costs offset any extra outlay.
Sadly, the Honda finishes third. Despite its smooth and punchy engine, the quirky Civic can't match its rivals for all-round appeal.
So the Golf does just enough to take the top spot – although its time at the top could be short, with the stylish new SEAT Leon just around the corner.

AnClaS3: A Blackboard-Based Cooperative Framework for Sound Separation
Blackboard modelling provides a great flexibility in structuring complex problems and a robust adaptation to the conditions of the signal to be analyzed, adding both bottom-up and top-down capabilities to the system. AnClaS3 (Analysis, Classification and Synthesis for Sound Separation) is a cooperative project where five research groups collaborate integrating algorithms and developing new separation methods. This contribution defines a blackboard-based framework where four blackboard-based systems interact to integrate the expertise of independent research groups in order to solve a sound separation problem.

Palm Oil Slumps Most in 15 Months as China Moves to Curb Prices
Palm oil plunged the most in more than 15 months on concern that China's plans to cool domestic prices by selling cooking-oil stockpiles will reduce demand from the world's biggest user of the commodity.
The contract for delivery in February fell 4.3 percent to 3,184 ringgit ($1,026) a metric ton at close on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange in Kuala Lumpur, the most since Aug. 17, 2009. September-delivery futures on the Dalian Commodity Exchange lost as much as 3.3 percent to 8,538 yuan ($1,286) a ton, before closing at 8,558 yuan.
China's government will increase packaged grain and cooking oil stockpiles for timely release onto the market, Nie Zhenbang, director of the State Administration of Grain, said on Nov. 19. The country will also sell soybeans and vegetable oil from its stockpiles starting this week to cool prices, the agency said in a separate statement that day.
"China's measures to control inflation are impacting not just the palm oil market but all commodity markets," said Ben Santoso, analyst at DBS Vickers Securities (Singapore) Pte. in Singapore. "It's going to be a wait-and-see strategy as price- control operations lasted about two months in 2008."
The People's Bank of China on Nov. 19 ordered a 50 basis point increase in the amount of money that lenders must keep aside to cool the fastest rise in consumer prices in two years.
"Any release of stockpiles will eventually have to be restocked because of demand prospects, hence driving up prices again," Bernard Ching, an analyst at ECM Libra Capital Sdn., said in a report today. "At the current juncture where supplies of soybeans and crude palm oil are vulnerable, it would be all the more difficult to keep prices suppressed."
Exports Slow
Palm-oil exports from Malaysia, the second-biggest producer, rose 12 percent to 1.05 million tons in the first 20 days of the month compared with the same period in October, Intertek said. Shipments slowed from a 26.6 percent gain in the first 15 days of the month, data from the surveyor show. Exports gained 18.3 percent to 1.1 million tons, rival Societe Generale de Surveillance said.
"Exports will slow as Diwali demand is over and Chinese New Year is sometime away," said Santoso. "Palm oil may pause for a while from the recent run-up or correct a bit."
Palm oil fell 0.8 percent last week, snapping an 11-week rally that drove prices to more than a two-year high.
Edible-oils demand from China normally increases in the months before the Lunar New Year holiday in February.
Heavy Rainfall
Malaysia has no plans to change its 2010 palm-oil output forecast even as the La Nina weather event may impact harvest, Industries and Commodities Minister Bernard Dompok said in Kuala Lumpur today. Production may total 17.8 million tons, according to a government report on Oct. 15.
Rainfall in Malaysia may be as 40 percent above normal in November and December, the state forecaster said in an e-mailed response to Bloomberg News. Rain over the northern and eastern coast states of Peninsular and Sabah will be slightly above the long term average, it said.
January-delivery soybean oil jumped as much as 1.7 percent to 50.14 cents a pound in Chicago and traded at 49.36 cents at 6:10 p.m. in Singapore, while soybeans for delivery in the same month rose as much as 1.7 percent to $12.22 a bushel and was at $12.11 a bushel at 6:11 p.m. in Singapore.
Soybean oil September delivery in Dalian slumped as much as 3 percent to 9,230 yuan a ton and ended at 9,254 yuan. CME Group Inc.'s March palm oil contract, pegged to the Malaysian benchmark price, climbed as much as 2.3 percent to $1,055 a ton.

I need to filter these terms by regular expression and the expression needs to evaluate true only for the Japanese terms (美術, スポーツ).
The following conditions are true:
- All English terms will only consist of upper and lower case letters.
- All Japanese terms will only consist of Japanese characters (kanji and kana).
I have written a few regular expressions before but I have no idea how to handle Unicode. An expression like

Stay on joplin
July 24, 2016
The staff was never at front desk. When they finally showed up it wasn't a polite geeeting. First room smelled of urine and we switched rooms. The 2nd room smelled of smoke and the ac unit was loud and had a smell. No free bottled water. She said we had to choose free water or points for our stay. The entire hotel was dirty. Tile needed mopped and hallways vacuumed. Behind from the desk was a room where loafs of dirty clothes were stacked up. I think staff was smoking there also. If ihg had another hotel on joplin we would switched. Never again.

About Me
finding inner peace and cruising around the world :-)
Born in Brazil and out for a round the world trip :D
In general it's hard to describe yourself, but I guess kind of gentle, peaceful and witty...
Love traveling, curious about tech and into several sports..
Further info shall be discovered personally only :)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Hosting when I can and surfing whenever possible. If the date is off, I try to give a little of assistance...
I've hosted quite a number of people and surfed in Brazil and in other countries as well. Been to some activities created in CS and also met travelers that were in the same city as me to walk around and go out at night. CS is a really good way to meet interesting people :) Promoted some meetings in Niteroi :p
Indeed traveling is beyond leisure, more towards a passion and now my full time occupation.
When at home in Brazil, it was common to go ride a bike along the coast or play some tennis/soccer. In quiet days having some wine and watching a good set of movies or tv series.
Recently I've been dedicating some time to the blog (cafedosviajantes.com) and collaborating in travel forums, while drifting around the world. To improve in photography is one of the main goals during the trip.
Also, one of the things I'm trying is to learn a bit of the languages wherever we go. It's fascinating to see how people get happy just by seeing you're making even the smallest effort to be polite and get by without english or mimics :D

"Sam Wilson" & US Agent Clash as Spencer's "Captain America" Saga Escalates
Comic Books
For fans of DC's various Multiverses, this has turned into a big week. Action Comics vol. 2 #9 offers Earth-23, while the new Earth 2 and Worlds' Finest series center around the latest take on Earth-2.
First, though, a nitpicky note. As usual with DC's cosmologies, things can get confusing quickly, so here are some helpful definitions. The Infinite Multiverse refers to DC's classic Multiverse, which saw its last big hurrah in Crisis On Infinite Earths. Worlds of the Infinite Multiverse have their number-tags spelled out, as with Earth-One and Earth-Two. (The Infinite Multiverse also had some letter-tagged worlds.) The 52 Earths refers to the Multiverse revealed in 2006's 52 #52. Its worlds are tagged only with numerals, as with Earth-2 and Earth-51. There is the Earth One series of graphic novels, with which we are not concerned. Finally, there is the Current Multiverse, which may in fact still be the 52 Earths, and which apparently follows the same naming conventions. I will try hard to avoid getting into a discussion which dwells on these distinctions.
Now then …
These three issues each take different perspectives on the parallel-world concept. Earth 2 #1 lays out the rough recent history of the parallel world and introduces us to its major players. Similarly, all of Action #9 takes place on Earth-23, although it's part of the background of Grant Morrison's larger Superman work. Earth-2 in Worlds' Finest #1 is background as well, since it's part of the main characters' shared backstory, but not a place with which they currently interact. Accordingly, I liked each of these introductory issues on their own merits, because I thought each did what it needed to within those particular contexts.
SPOILERS FOLLOW for Earth 2 #1, Worlds' Finest #1, and Action Comics vol. 2 #9.
Earth 2 #1 (written by James Robinson, pencilled by Nicola Scott, inked by Trevor Scott) is an involving mix of setup and pathos. Actually, it's setup through pathos, as we see its Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman lead the charge against an Apokoliptian army led by Steppenwolf. It may well anger a large group of longtime DC fans, because it is absolutely not the original Earth-Two, and neither does it look like any pre-existing parallel DC Earth. If you were expecting to find the back door to a DC you might have known, keep looking. In fact, this Earth-2's history ties obliquely into the New-52's Justice League, since both feature Apokoliptian invasions from "five years ago," and I suspect the attempt on one Earth probably led to an abortive invasion of the other.
The plot concerns the last battle of Earth-2's "Apokolips War," in which Superman and Supergirl, Batman and Robin, and Wonder Woman storm Steppenwolf's stronghold in order to shut down the network of power terminals supplying his Parademons. We know, if we have been paying attention, that Robin and Supergirl are sucked through a Boom-Tube to the main DC-Earth, so that they can headline Worlds' Finest. What we don't know, going into this issue, is a) whether the Earth-2 Trinity survives and b) what other superheroes exist on that world. Earth-2 answers the first fairly early, but teases the second only at issue's end. It's sufficient to say, again as solicitations have indicated, that Earth 2 looks to be focused primarily on Jay "Flash" Garrick and Alan "Green Lantern" Scott (and their peers) and not variations on the Trinity. Furthermore, thanks to Steppenwolf and company, Earth-2 itself is a world recovering from the nigh-unimaginable horrors of otherworldly battles.
Upon first reading I thought this was a mistake, mostly because much of the New 52 already has such a Very Serious attitude. However — and I may be ascribing motives to James Robinson which he does not have — I think this is his way of recreating the turbulence of the late '30s and early '40s when the Golden Agers were created. We may imagine that period, and especially the postwar years, as more optimistic and innocent, but that's not necessarily true. Now, Earth 2 has the opportunity to show that sort of optimism taking hold, and informing the new crop of superheroes, while remembering that the world has suffered these great losses.
To be sure, there's no guarantee that Earth 2 will move past a sort of grim, paranoid mindset. The overall tone of Earth 2 is one of capital-T Tragedy, as shown in the preview pages where Superman remembers the murdered Lois Lane and Wonder Woman is the last Amazon. Yes, Superman and Batman come from tragic circumstances, and Wonder Woman is not blind to the realities of war; but right from the start there is no joy on Earth-2, and it may be simply more of the same for many readers.
In any event, the mechanics of Earth 2 were solid. Robinson brings back the shifting-narrator device from his Justice League of America run, transitioning smoothly from Superman to Batman to Wonder Woman, and also employing an omniscient narrator as part of a quasi-framing device. That sounds complicated, but in practice it works fairly well. Dialogue has the usual peculiar Robinson rhythms, especially where exposition is involved, but a more charitable impulse might chalk that up to the "other-Earthiness." By the end of the issue we've met Jay Garrick (younger than Barry Allen, incidentally), Joan Williams, Al Pratt, and Alan Scott, and we've heard about Tyler Chemicals, so the pieces of a familiar puzzle are converging.
I've been a fan of Nicola Scott's since her Birds Of Prey work, so her involvement was enough to get me excited about Earth 2, and I was not disappointed. In fact, issue #1's fight scenes compare pretty favorably to Jim Lee's Justice League work. Scott's pencils for these scenes are very busy, mainly because they have to show hordes of Parademons fighting Superman and Wonder Woman over a decimated Metropolis while Batman scales a Giger-esque tower to plant a doomsday device. However, the storytelling is quite clear and lively, always keeping the reader's eyes where they should be. For example, in a couple of places, we see Parademons exploding from unseen fire before the Batplane zooms into view. Appropriately, things calm down considerably during the closing pages, when we meet Alan, Jay, and Joan.
I'm not sure how I feel about Trevor Scott's inks or Alex Sinclair's colors. Trevor Scott uses a looser, thinner line than I'm used to seeing in Nicola Scott's inkers, which makes her distinctive faces a little harder to see, so it may just be a reaction to that. Likewise, the color palette is dominated early on by a sickly purple sky and mustard-yellow buildings, each of which tend to wash out the brightness of superhero costumes and even the bright green and gold Parademons. Still, aside from those things I have no complaints. The most effective scenes in the book are the rapid-fire deaths of Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman. Each has a certain element of (shall we say) unwelcome abruptness, if not outright emotional manipulation, especially Robin's tearful "don't die, Daddy"; but the art makes up for whatever shortcomings are in the script.
Earth 2 is certainly not perfect. Its setting is built on a depressingly-familiar foundation of loss, and it jettisons much of what characterized its namesake. (Whether it's an "old universe," in the sense that the Trinity were around for decades, has yet to be revealed.) However, I like that it makes the Trinity and their next-generation sympathetic in short order (even if much of that is trading on preexisting affections), and then drops them out of the book entirely. That, plus my Nicola Scott crush, will keep me coming back for a while.
* * *
Speaking of crushes on artists, George Pérez and Kevin Maguire made it easy for me to pick up Worlds' Finest #1 (written by Paul Levitz, with Pérez inked by Scott Koblish). It's a more conventional buddy-hero title, as you might expect; and it repurposes Helena/Huntress' and Kara/Power Girl's Earth-2-related grief accordingly. Neither are overly grim, but Huntress is determined and Power Girl has made the best of things. Actually, Power Girl may turn out to be a nice exploration of the "if I had superpowers, I'd be rich" theory, since she used said powers (covertly), plus some "seed money" Huntress stole from the main Earth's Bruce Wayne, to start Starr Enterprises.
The first issue is fairly simple, with the two investigating a fire at Starr's Japan plant and finding the super-powered saboteur just in time for the last page. Pérez and Koblish draw the present-day scenes, and Maguire provides flashbacks. It's a good combination, since the two have more in common storytelling-wise than I might have guessed. (Some of that no doubt comes from Maguire working so much from Keith Giffen's breakdowns.) One layout in particular, where Maguire shows Robin and Supergirl dropping out of the sky, looks very Pérezian.
Since the story is so straightforward, a good bit of the issue's appeal is in the details. Pérez emphasizes the characters' physical differences. Helena has an exotic look, appropriate to a woman who can choose from multiple assumed identities, whereas Kara looks more like a bodybuilder. During the first scenes in the destroyed R&D facility, Kara's dress has become tattered, so that's where the differences are most apparent. In fact, after a few pages of Kara running around like mid-'70s She-Hulk, the Power Girl costume almost makes her look demure.
Like Earth 2, Worlds' Finest may not be popular with longtime DC fans. After Crisis on Infinite Earths got rid of the original Earth-Two's Helena Wayne, mob princess Helena Bertinelli took over the name and costume for over twenty years, including an extended stint in Birds Of Prey. When previews for WF #1 revealed that the New-52's Helena Bertinelli was actually a dead woman whose identity Helena Wayne had assumed, fans were not happy. Personally, I'm not sure where the equities lie — is a Bat-daughter from an alternate universe tied more closely to the Batman "family" than an outsider who had to earn her way in? — and I sympathize with Helena B.'s admirers. However, I thought Worlds' Finest was an engaging way to reintroduce these characters, and it sure is a nice-looking comic.
* * *
Finally, there's the pure anarchic joy of Grant Morrison and Gene Ha's lead story in Action Comics #9, which folds a number of Silver and Bronze Age Superman elements into the tale of Earth-23's Calvin Ellis, the Obamaesque President of the United States. After a while the thought that President Superman could be on the phone with a dictator while helping the Justice League destroy said dictator's secret nuclear labs (as in Sholly Fisch and Cully Hamner's sublime second story) seems just as believable as Earth-One's Clark-the-anchorman reporting the news virtually as he's making it. The meat of Morrison and Ha's story has to do with yet another alternate Superman, the "Last Knight of Tomorrow" who was (re) designed by his eventual corporate masters to be the last word in grim anti-heroics, and who has spent most of his cybernetic existence slaughtering his way across the Current Multiverse. Why, just after an alt-Jimmy Olsen and an eyepatch-wearing Lois find President Superman, the Last Knight fries his co-creator Clark Kent.
I can't tell you how this story fits into Grant Morrison's larger narrative. I have no idea what prompted him to plop it into issue #9. Nevertheless, it's a delirious mashup of two of the world's most powerful positions, told as if all involved had wild secret-knowledge gleams in their eyes. Back when 52 revealed its multiverse, DC sought to populate-slash-exploit it by bringing in various alternate-history stories, including New Frontier, Gotham By Gaslight, and Red Son. This Earth-23 doesn't come with the same emotional attachments as those Elseworlds, but neither does it feel like a universe created just to be exploited. Indeed, "created to be exploited" is a notion this story rails explicitly against.
Even so, Earth-23 and its ultra-competent Superman may be too much of a good thing. Sure, he won't be President forever, but eight years is surely enough time to use the engines of government for the permanent betterment of all humanity. (Unless his Senate still gets hung up on that "60-vote supermajority" stuff, I suppose.) I mean, that Earth had President Rickard, for gosh sakes! There's just more drama on Earth-2. While it may hurt to watch that Trinity meet their fates, and while those deaths may feed modern superhero comics' worst impulses, at least there are glimmers of working through that grief until it is just a distant memory.
Whatever happens next on Earth-23, I have a feeling it will survive, because if this issue is any indication, Morrison is more interested in creation for its own sake. At the risk of reading too much into it, Earth-23 represents the sort of mindset which is happy to expel ideas into the ether, but which invests those ideas with enough raw potential that they resist just being used and discarded. Earth 2's world was destroyed to provide a dollop of gravitas for that title and for Worlds' Finest, and the rampaging Superman who comes to Earth-23 appears emblematic of those who swear by such destruction.
However, Earth-23 appeals to me because it offers the hope of a place which looks as if its act has been gotten together. If we hope for the best for the folks on (or from) Earth-2, we can see that hope personified a few Earths down the block. Never mind those seeds of pessimism — for now Earth-23 just looks fun, and that's something the Multiverse desperately needs.
Only read Action Comics #9 so far but it's the best issue of that series since the first issue. I had actually given up on it but couldn't resist picking up this issue because of the cover!
Anyone else get a sense that this was Morrison making some not-so-subtle commentary on DC Comics and the Siegel-Shuster/Moore controversies?
I also got the impression this may just be kicking off Morrison's long-awaited Multiversity project! Summer '13 perhaps?
I read Action Comics #9 yesterday and I was impressed.
I also read Earth 2 #1 and I thought it was okay but to have alt-Trinity killed to make room for upcoming alt-Justice Society is a no-no!
No DC and E-2 Supermen/Batmen/Wonderwomen crossovers, very bad mistake.
Pulled all of them except World's Finest. I've said it before–not a Paul Levitz fan.
I'm bored with all these alternate versions of old super-heroes. Including the entire nu52 and the entire Ultimate Universe. Somebody described this Earth-2 world as being "Ultimate Justice League". Well that's just great. Just what we need. Another dark and gritty take on super-heroes.
The originals were the best! The comics companies know this, and that's why they keep using the same old heroes in new iterations.
But who needs these retreads?
Say, if Infinite Crisis introduced a limited 52-world multiverse, do we currently have a 51-world multiverse? Like, at the end of Flashpoint, The Mysterious Lady smooshed the DCU ("New Earth") with the Vertigo Universe (which I thought was the DCU) and the WildStorm Universe which, post Infinite Crisis, had its own number.
I love and hate DC's multiverse simultaneously for just these sorts of reasons…
"Geoff Johns: Chief Creative Officer" my @ss!!!
Action Comics # 9 is a terrific little superhero comic book. Gene Ha is a good choice for artist, he swung for the back fences.
Let's preface this by saying that despite being in the same demographic as GOF, I am still madly in love with DC Comics. I seem to be the only old-school fan who can say this. This isn't to say I love everything DC has. It's just that I am pretty happy with what I am reading.
So I was prepared to like all three of these. Even though PLevitz hasn't impressed me on LSH of late. Even though E-2 was not the series I wanted it to be. And even though President Superman seems like a relic of the 2008 elections. The art alone on these should excite any longtime DC fan.
Of the three, I thought Action was the weakest, mainly because sometimes Grant confuses me. He has all these amazing ideas and can't always make them stick to a story. But seeing an iconic version of Supes, albeit one as different as Calvin Ellis, is a delight. And I loved the Sholly Fisch back-up, because for seven pages it's a really neat wish-fulfillment story wherein Supes disarms an Iran stand-in in a way that won't lead to another war; and then suddenly raises a really great question about the role any Superman should play and the way he should play it. I want Sholly to take over this series when Grant leaves.
E-2 is still not what I expected. It didn't feel like a classic Robinson comic. The new versions of Jay, et al, are still ciphers. And yes, I guess you could say the beginning of the story was a downer. But I thought it was very well done, and the idea of a world where the heroes are inspired by the memory of the Big Three resonates with me. I think that Robinson is on an upswing of late, with Cry for Justice a distant memory. I suspect that the things I liked here will become more and more dominant.
And Worlds' Finest totally wowed me. It was the most fun I have had from a New 52 book yet. (There are lots of great comics, but the number of fun comics is down.) I don't think Paul has written anything this good in years. And it think it really helps that it's a labor of love for him to return to Helena and Karen and find a way to meld how they've been portrayed over the years. Oh, and that art…how can you ever go wrong with Perez and Maguire?
So I would say that this was a good week for DC from where I sit. And this isn't even counting things that don't have multiversal aspects. As usual, I am happy.
I enjoyed Earth 2 and World's Finest. I've already fallen in love with New 52 Huntress and now add Power Girl to that list. The conversation between Jay and Joan at the end of Earth 2 was really weird but overall I enjoy where Jay's (along with Al and Alan) destiny is heading.
Action… not so much. I've tried very hard to like Morrison's Superman (I enjoyed All-Star Superman) but the New 52 version just doesn't quite feel right to me and this issue felt like a waste of time. Ironically, I actually like Calvin Ellis more than New 52 Clark Kent.

Suspect allegedly terrorized woman
Published: Friday, April 6, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 6, 2012 at 11:23 p.m.
A Thibodaux man accused of attacking his girlfriend in front of her children is being sought by authorities.
Lynes Anthony Ward, 27, 200 Plymouth St., allegedly hid under the woman's Thibodaux home on March 30, emerging and attacking her when she left the house.
Ward's mother and sister said the woman is Ward's girlfriend, and they have a child
Ward forced the woman back inside the house, where he tried to strangle her and attempted to stab her with a kitchen knife while she was holding one of her children, police said.
The woman ran into a bathroom with all of her children and locked the door, but Ward kicked the door in, grabbed her by the hair, and punched her in the face, police said.
The woman was later able to calm Ward down, and they drove to the Colonel Truck Plaza in Terrebonne Parish, police said.
She went inside while he stayed in the car, and she asked the clerk to call 911.
She left with Ward, but they later returned to the store. A Terrebonne Parish sheriff's deputy was there, and Ward got out of the car and fled, police said.
The Terrebonne Sheriff's Office alerted the Lafourche Sheriff's Office to the incident.
Ward is wanted on charges of aggravated assault, domestic-abuse battery by strangulation, domestic abuse with child endangerment, false imprisonment, resisting an officer, violation of a protective order and simple criminal damage to property, all charges stemming
from the March 30 attack, police said.
Anyone with information about Ward or his whereabouts is eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
