Re: Naruto_611_predicts
Hello, it is me again
I hope you enjoy reading my prediction, please enjoy and have fun
611 - Utterly Destruction
Kakashi and Naruto clone in sage mode are falling down from air, as Kakashi activates Mangenkyou Sharingan then he uses Kamui to bring out Hachibi tentacle from his Dimmension. Hachibi is reconstructed from Hachibi tentacle, while he is falling down from sky on Jyuubi head Hachibi creates Bijuu bomb aiming it at Jyuubi huge eye.
Obito(scared): *Damn it, I can't become intangible while being connected to Jyuubi* ?!
Madara(smirks): *it will be interesting to see what Jyuubi can do* Let's show them power, Jyuubi!
Falling down Hachibi launches his bijuu dama at Jyuubi big eye, before Hachibi Bijuu dama connects with Jyuubi, Jyuubi big eye flashes for second then releases it huge amount of chakra while Bijuu dama connects with Jyuubi big eye. Bijuu dama is being absorbed as chakra shield is created around all Jyuubi. While Jyuubi is absorbing Hachibi Bijuudama, Naruto sage mode clones creates six Fuuton Rasen shurikens, throwing one after one at Jyuubi head with Madara and Obito standing on it's head. Jyuubi notices Rasen shurikens are flying at it so Jyuubi waves his nine of ten tails to throw away all Fuuton Rasen Shurikens in different directions like they were flies, each one wipe out area in 100 m radius creating explosions. Three of them are thrown at Naruto in Kurama form as one is send back straight at Sage Naruto clone, Kakashi and Hachibi who can't stop firing bijuu dama at Jyuubi.
Sage Naruto clone: Damn, it!
Killer bee: shit !
Hachibi: *damn!*
Kakashi: Kamui!
As Fuuton Rasen Shuriken is about to connect with Kakashi, sage Naruto clone and Hachibi, Kakashi open black hole in air straight in front of incomming Fuuton Rasen shuriken, sending it to other dimenssion.
As Fuuton Rasen shuriken dissappear completly. sage mode Naruto clone charge at Jyuubi with stretching his both fist in Jyuubi eye direction while putting all his sage chakra in his both fists to use the most powerfull frog katas he can.
Sage Naruto clone: WHA!!!!!
Jyuubi: grr!!
Madara(looks serious): *this boy is so stuborn*
Obito(mad): *Damn it , I don't let you attack Jyuubi!*
Sage Naruto clone: Frog Katas!
As Naruto sage mode clone punch is about to connect with Jyuubi head, Obito is about to breaks connection with Jyuubi to try block Naruto attack suddenly Madara stops him putting his hand on Obito arm, then Both of them looks up to comming Naruto sage clone, Madara smirks for moment then when they are about to be hit by Naruto Sage mode clone with fist, one of Jyuubi tails block Naruto punch full force, which causes Jyuubi tail to get lower being pushed by Naruto powerfull sage chakra. Ground shakes a little under Jyuubi as Jyuubi deflect Naruto then throw him away by moving his tail. As Naruto clone out of sage mode is hit, he disappears, then Jyuubi finishes absorbing Hachibi Bijuu dama. After finishing Bijuu dama Jyuubi try to attacks Hachibi and Kakashi while Hachibi lands on ground wraps Kakashi with one of his tails to protect him from Jyuubi attack. Hachibi land on Jyuubi side as he is about to be smashed by all Jyuubi tails. Suddenly it is hit by hirudora full force which push it a little back.
Jyuubi: grr!!!
Madara(smiles): they are all stuborns!
Obito(mad): Damn!
Green aura emitting from Gai without pupils in his eye is shown as huge aura is still emitting from his body. After hirodura Jyuubi is shown not wounded with Madara and Obito on it's head. Hachibi catches Kakshi with tentacles then jump back to Kurama, but is being pulling in Jyuubi direction, as Jyuubi big eye glows.
Killer bee: Damn it !
Hachibi: This is bad !
Kakashi: Shit!
As Hachibi is being pulling by Jyuubi, Hachibi unable to oppose pulling force, throws Kakashi with all force to Kurama and Naruto with Gai. Kurama notices Kakashi send flying to Kurama so Kurama catches him. Meanwhile Hachibi uses his tails to attach itself to something but pulling force is too strong. Hachibi is being pulled with great force to Jyuubi, Kurama put Kakashi and Gai away, then charge at Jyuubi to save Hachibi. Jyuubi notices Kurama so it fire off it own bijuu dama, which forces Kurama to stop and envelopes itself with tails to tank Jyuubi bijuu dama. Gai disactivates inner gates to rest, Kakashi is tired from use Kamui on Hachibi, so he fall on his knees as well as Gai. While Hachibi is send flying by pulling force to Jyuubi, Hachibi charges it the biggest Bijuudama it have created by putting all power in int. Area around Kurama is covered by dust created by Bijuu dama. As Hachibi is about to get to Jyuubi position, it fire off his own lst bijuu dama, Jyuubi stops pulling and switches to absorbing Hachibi Bijuu dama. While Hachibi is keep using bijuu dama, suddenly it is catched by Jyuubi all tails. Hachibi with killer bee is too weak to release itself, while Kurama with Naruto uses chakra roar to clear up visibility limited by dust.
Killer bee: it is bad my mate!
Hachibi: We are in bad shape, bee!
Naruto: We need to do something to help bee and Gyuuki.
Kurama: they try to break us from Killer bee and Gyuuki, damn.
Jyuubi: Roargh!
Madara(smirks): Yes, catches, keep and absorb eight tails at right moment!
Obito: Eight tails will be finally captured!
After Jyuubi finish absorbing Hachibi Bijuudama, Hachibi is being pulled by Jyuubi tails close to Jyuubi head, where Jyuubi big eye begin to glow. Kurama chakra roar clears up dust, then he notices Hachibi in danger. Naruto disactivates Kurama form by switching to Bijuu mode then he flashes to Killer Bee and Hachibi, Jyuubi notices Naruto comming so it shoot laser beam at incomming Naruto, which forces Naruto to switch in full Kurama form and defend himself. Meanwhile from Jyuubi jaw many chakra shaped arms catches Hachibi and begin to absorb Hachibi chakra and pull him closer to Jyuubi jaw as it big eye is glowing. Hachibi uses ink to cover Jyuubi but Jyuubi push it away with push force. Hachibi unable to switches back to Killer bee or bijuu mode v2 is being swallowed by Jyuubi.
Killer bee: Let me go, fucking beast!
Hachibi: NO!!, cursed Jyuubi!
Jyuubi: Roargh!
Madara: heh, absorb it!
Obito: do it!
From some distance Naruto in Kurama form is shown, as he notices Killer bee in Hachibi from being swallowed almost completly.
Naruto(furious): NO!!!!
Kurama(looks sad): I won't let you Jyuubi to do it!
Naruto in Kurama form charges straight at Jyuubi with Bjuu dama forming in it's jaw, as Hachibi is almost completly swallowed. Killer bee is shown almost out of the hachibi, as hachibi is trying to protect his jinchurki, then before being completly absorbed Hachibi use last power to throw Killer bee to Naruto in Kurama form incomming. Naruto in Kurama form catches dying Killer bee, while screaming at Jyuubi , Madara and Obito. From backward Kakashi and Gai look sad as Hachibi dissappear in Jyuubi jaw.
Naruto: NO!!!!!!, fucking beast, fucking bastards, you will pay for that!
Kurama: Damn, I am sorry hachibi..., Naruto, you need to calm down or ...
Naruto: I know..., but I am really mad, I can't be calm!
Kurama: You have to calm down, so we will beat them somehow.
Naruto: kh!!, ok, I will fight with all my power!
Madara: Finally it is done, only nine tails left.
Obito: Exactly, but we should do moon eye plan right away, why wait?!
Madara: Easy Obito, everything needs to be done in right time
Obito: That why you didn't catch eight tails and Nine tails earlier ?
Madara: No, I didn't know their strentgh, I was revived and forced to fight 5 kage in compare to man who has a lot of time, and rushed everything!
Obito: *Damn you, Madara*, whatever.
Madara: *he begin to think too much* hmpf.
Suddenly Jyuubi all body begin to glowing, and it is glowing more and more as Obito and Madara are little suprised. Naruto with Kurama feel Jyuubi power raising a lot after it asborbed Hachibi. Jyuubi begin to break Madara and Obito control over it, as ground begin to shake as well as powerfull blows of winds create around Jyuubi and push everythinh away.
Madara: Time to catch nine tails!
Obito: exactly
Madara: ?!
Obito: ?!
Jyuubi beigin to glowing and emiting more amount of more powerfull chakra, makes ground shakes ass well ass blows of winds comming from it.
Madara: Beast is releasing itself now!
Obito(show fatigue on his face): Damn!
Madara: shit!
Obito: shit!
Madara and Obito dissconnect themselves from Jyuubi then Madara dissapear slowly as his part of body dissapear, Obito use Kamui to get away as Jyuubi blows up everything, creating enormus epxlosion around itself, destroying everything in its way. Naruto dashes fast to kakashi and Gai then protect them with Kurama shroud, while having problem to keep stand alone from Jyuubi power.

Re: Naruto_611_predicts
I predict the madara absorbs the bijuudama while obito absorbs the hachibi and himself into the alternate dimension....
Kakashi goes into the kamui to fight tobito and help the hachibi... Naruto and the kyuubi are left to fight the juubi alone until naruto figures out he can let kurama fight while naruto gathers tons and tons of nature energy and balances it to power up his kyuubi form probably more then doubling his power, thus making him more powerful then he was when he had his yin half too...
then when the time comes... The power of the other six bijuu combines with his power to create a seven bijuu kyuubi so he can equal the seven bijuu juubi for an epic battle...
No matter how POWERFUL/STRONG you are. If you cannot CATCH your Enemy, all you POWER/STRENGTH is no more USEFUL then a squirt gun....
And if You cannot possibly TRACK/REACT to your enemies attacks to Defend yourself, then how can you possibly stop him from DEFEATING you at WILL...
People live relying on they're Knowledge and Perception, and thus are bound to them.....
Those Boundaries are what they tend to accept as "Reality".....
However..... Knowledge and Perception are both ambiguous....
so "Reality" could be nothing more....
then an illusion....

Re: Naruto_611_predicts
^So far so good. Just make it other 8 TB and its similar to what I am thinking. (Kurama somehow steals some of Shukaku's chakra during Naruto v Gaara fight and Bee already gave some of Gyuki's)

Re: Naruto_611_predicts
A Jericho Prediction
Naruto 611-12: "Kurama's Techniques"
Naruto is watching from a far in Kurama mode as the attack plays through.
Naruto(clone), "you Okay Sensei?"
Kakashi as the last bit of Hacibi exits his Kamui, "yes, Kurama right? Well he gave me a lot of Chakra being in his cloak for that time and when he threw me at Obito."
Bee(Hacibi body), "You hard to die, but here's mud in your eye!"
As the Bijuu ball impacts Kakashi and Naruto are still descending upon the Juubi and Hacibi is coming down with a two handed club blow.
Juubi, "roar!"
Two tails block the blow from Gyuki, and the Juubi is absorbing the Bijuudama.
With other tails it grabs Gyuki , Bee/Hacibi tries to fight back with it's tails.
Naruto(clone) and Kakashi land near Madara and Obito.
Madara, "persistent aren't you. Are you sure those were the Kages I fought before or just decoys. You seem to be giving me more trouble."
Naruto(clone), "you watch your mouth, I haven't forgotten about them, you show some respect!"
Clone jumps in the air towards Madara and Obito.
Kakashi, {what kind of attack Is he planning?!}
Obito, "foolish, never lose your head. That's how you make mistakes."
Obito, "fire style: giant fireball jutsu!"
Naruto(clone) cracks a smile then a great puff of smoke occurs when the fireball reaches him.
Naruto(Kurama mode), "they are buying us time but we gotta come up with a plan. Hey Kurama I got a question though?"
Kurama, [what is it?]
Naruto, "how come it looks like that, I mean you guys don't look like that, didn't you come from that thing?"
Kurama, [thing is right, it is just a thing right now. Father created us using the chakra, the pure energy of the Juubi, we have no memory of being it but we know it when we see it. If me and Gyuki were part of it it would be in it's complete form, it would look a bit more like me actually.]
Naruto, "wow, okay, also why don't you know any cool stuff like the other Bijuu? You know like the ink stuff and hiding in it's tail thing that Gyuki can do."
Kurama, "what?! Cool stuff, your such a kid, I just started being nice to you. Now you want to see my techniques?! Fine, let me take control, do a full transformation for a while, you think of a plan."
Naruto, "uhm okay, sure."
AS he says that the Naruto standing on his head disappears.
The body of Kurama starts changing when we see a full picture of a flesh and blood Kurama.
As that happens we see smoke clearing where Obito is caught under the foot of Gamabunta, whom Naruto summoned just before the impact.
Kakashi, [wow, his summoning skill is amazing, I didn't even catch it.]
Flash back, moments earlier:
Smoke appears as the flame impacts.
"water bullet!"
A huge water bullet emerges taking out the flame.
Gamabunta landing, "what do we have here?!
Madara, "as long as you are connected to the Juubi you cannot use that favorite jutsu of yours. I would help but I must control the Juubi. You can handle this right?"
Obito, "looking up at Madara, of course."
The root detaches from Obito and he phases into the Juubi and rises close by.
Gamabunta, "what the hell is this thing I'm standing on Naruto?"
Naruto, "it's the Juubi, the ten tailed beast!"
Gamabunta, "first the one tails, now the ten tails, the beast of legend? Who do you think I am the old man? I can't be bothered with this troublesome matter."
Obito, "then allow me to get rid of you."
He begins to use the Kamui on Gama.
Kakashi, "Naruto get off, quick send him back!"
Naruto clone disperses and Gama pops out before getting sucked in.
Obito, "just me and you, again. I will kill you now, then begin the ritual."
Kakashi just looks and steadies himself.
Voice from off panel, "Fox Hole technique!"
Madara, "?!"
Suddenly the Juubi seems to be falling into a huge hole. Everyone gets knocked off there feet when it lands.
Madara, "what is this?"
He and Obito look up to see that they are miles down.
Obito looks shocked , "I can't use my jutsu!"
Madara looks at him then looks around, he changes to EMS, nicely done."
Obito, "at least we have the 8 tails, we can …"
Madara, "no, I doubt we still have him. I am sure we still posses the Juubi, but the 8tails is gone."
Obito pointing at Hacibi being held by the Juubi, "look he is right there, what's wrong with you?"
Madara, "where is your Opponent?"
Obito, "what?"
As he turns.
"lightning blade!"
We see Kakashi stabbing him with Hacibi freed from the Juubi and Kurama smiling with a sinister scowl. He and Gyuki are fighting the Juubi.
Gai is jumping onto Gyuki, "what just happened? Seemed as if they were in a Genjutsu, but how?"
Gyuki, "Kurama used his fox hole technique, he is a master at trickery and illusions. He used be quite a menace when we were kids, pulling all sorts of pranks on our father and us."
Gai, "hmmm, interesting."
Madara whom was standing still as well, "I see, you never told me about that 9 tails. Any other tricks you have? Well I guess it doesn't really matter."
A storm of several Meteors are seen coming down.
Gai, "damn."
Gyuki, [we gotta change back Bee, I'm too big a target for those things!]
Kurama, "okay, you think you have power Uchiha brat!?"
Bee, [wait a minute, Kurama bout to get it!]
Gyuki, [huh?]
Kurama let's out a huge roar that shakes everything.
"Tail slice!"
He waves his tails as he roars and the meteors are destroyed. Sending much rubble to the battlefield.
Obito is holding his wound, "damn you Kakashi, you think you have beaten me?"
His wound was on the Zetsu side and healed itself right in front of Kakashi.
Kakashi, "Dammit. You are more resourceful than you used to be."
Gai, "I bet Madara can't use his jutsu while he is controlling the Juubi, probably takes his concentration.
Naruto, [I got it! Now it's my turn Kurama.]
Suddenly Kurama changes back to the Chakra mode with Naruto on his head. He appears beside Gai and Gyuki with Kakashi in his chakra cloak.
Naruto, "I have an Idea, on how to get rid of Madara for good and the Juubi!"
Kakashi, "well we trust you Naruto, we will follow your lead!" {I have faith in you}
Madara, "Obito, why don't you take care of them while I prepare the ritual, I have the Juubi by myself for now."
Obito, "sure, soon as I am done the ritual should be well on it's way."
He teleports.
Kakashi sees this, "here comes Obito."
As the Kamui swirl opens Kakashi jumps out of the cloak and faces Obito.
Obito, "I will kill all of you, then my new world will…"
Madara from a far, "be nothing but a child's dream!"
Obito, "what?!"
Madara, "I have the Juubi now, I am going to show this world the power of the Uchiha!"
As Obito is distracted Gai tackles him and they go through a kamui Kakashi made.
In the other dimension.
Obito, "you?"
Gai, "you couldn't beat me before so I figured I had the best shot, let's go!"
Obito, "I supposed Kakashi is waiting for me with a chidori or Naruto with a rasengan if I don't huh?"
Gai says nothing just takes his stance.
Madara, "oh well I guess I will have to kill the 8 tails instead and the 9 tails anyway."
He sends a Bijuudama their way, but Gyuki sends one as well. They collide causing a great impact of chakra.
Suddenly a kamui portal opens and Obito emerges in front of the Juubi looking up at Madara.
Kakashi, {Gai?} he uses kamui and Guy emerges in front of him just fine.
Gai, "no worries Kakashi, a little fist to fist and the power of youth made him see the light!"
Naruto, {see the light?}
Obito, "you lied to me a bout the new world I could make, where everyone would be alive and happy. You made me hate them, hate everything."
Bee, "this is unreal he switching the deal."
Obito, "you will fight me now, old man!"
Naruto, "so is he on our side now?"
Obito, "I will take the Juubi from you and make this world into what I want! Genjutsu or not!"
Naruto, "I guess not then, but for now…"
Kakashi and the others landing behind Obito, "we help our enemy beat out other enemy, then sort it out later!"
Naruto, "okay!"
Suddenly the Hokage Guard appear.
Genma, "dam that thing is ugly!"
They surround Naruto, "sorry kid, you have an appointment."
They disappear taking Naruto with them.
Gai, "wasn't that…?"
Kakashi, "yes, Hopefully the 5th Hokage has a plan for this that involves Naruto!"
Madara, "come children, show me your power."
Obito, " we are not friends Kakashi, we are not done!"
He jumps to attack Madara.
Hokage Guard appears.
Naruto, "What's the big idea?!"
Tsunade's voice, "Naruto, quiet. I told them to do it."
Naruto turns to see Tsunade in half and the other Kages gathered around her, unconscious.
Naruto is in horror that she is split in half.
Naruto, "granny, what can I do. I know you wanna tell me I'm the new Hokage. I will take care of the village. Sleep in peace.
She does her finger for him to come close as he does she hits him on the head.
Naruto, "ouch!"
Tsunade, "No, I'm going to be fine, just gonna take time for Katsuya to put me together and for the Kages I could help, to wake up."
Genma, "we are supposed to teach you your Dad's FTG jutsu. How your supposed to learn it so quick I have no idea."
Naruto, "let's go!"
He makes 6 clones.
Naruto, "we'll split up into three groups each taking two of me, I can and have to learn this in 15 minutes, so I can get back to Kakashi sensei and the rest!"
Tsunade, "you heard him get started."
Naruto, "oh yeah that fake Madara is somebody Kakashi sensei knows, Obito something."
Tsunade, "Obito Uchiha? How strange."
Naruto, "you knew him too?"
Tsunade, "yes, he was Minato's student. Now hurry!"
Naruto shocked, {My dad taught him?}
Else where.
We see Neji, Shikamaru, Shino, Choji, Ino and Kiba.
Shikamaru, "well isn't this a drag?"
Sasuke with Orochimaru and hawk standing behind him, "you have no idea."
Next: "Reunion"

Re: Naruto_611_predicts
I predict the Juubi will somehow defeat the attack and leave people looking shocked, then Madara will explain why their didn't work on the monster. Naruto & co. will have to come up with a new strategy while Madara's continuing with his. Towards the end of chapter, Orochimaru and Sasuke will be seen talking about this entity that knows everything. The end.

FORT WAYNE – A game-winning double by Diego Goris in the bottom of the 11th gave Fort Wayne a 3-2 win over South Bend on Friday at Parkview Field.
It was the TinCaps first win of the second half and their first victory over the Silver Hawks this year. Fort Wayne (44-27) was 0-7 against South Bend (45-26) entering Fridays game.
We just keep kind of knocking at the door, knocking at the door, TinCaps manager Jose Valentin said. It was a great, great game today.
Each time in the last seven tries, South Bend had found a way to eke out a win. The Silver Hawks had four one-run victories over Fort Wayne, and they won by two runs in another.
Friday, the TinCaps were on the winning side of a close-fought battle.
It feels like a playoff win, Fort Wayne starting pitcher Zach Eflin said. Its a big win.
Eflin went five innings and gave up five hits and two earned runs. He threw 91 pitches and struck out five while walking two.
His bullpen was even stronger.
Relievers Matthew Shepherd, Leonel Campos, Roman Madrid and Chris Nunn pitched a combined six innings and surrendered just two hits.
Nunn, who pitched the top of the 11th inning, picked up the win. South Bend batters struck out 10 times and totaled seven hits.
As a bullpen, we got a good atmosphere down there. We know thats our job – to come in and keep the game where its at, said Shepherd, who threw two hitless innings after Eflins exit. I think we did a great job.
A night after drawing a record crowd of 8,643 fans, the TinCaps got another huge turnout, as a paid attendance of 7,911 brought Fort Waynes two-game second-half total to 16,554. The TinCaps got just two hits in Thursday 2-1 loss. This time, despite the strength of both pitching staffs, Fort Wayne gave fans their moneys worth.
Both teams got home runs in the second inning – South Bends from designated hitter Rudy Flores, Fort Waynes from shortstop Tyler Stubblefield – but not much else afterward. The teams were tied at 2 by the top of the fourth and remained that way until Goris double down the first-base line, just beyond a diving Carver Bells glove, drove in Alberth Martinez
The TinCaps improved to 6-0 in extra-inning games, and it was Goris second game-winning hit of the year.
When we really need a hit, Valentin said. Hes always in the right spot at the right time to be able to come through.
Note: Coast to Coast Baseball will hold tryouts for its player development program June 29 at Parkview Field. The tryouts are for players ages 10 to 18, and there will also be an instructional hitting camp. For more information, go to www.coasttocoastathletics.com.

Revision as of 19:39, 3 November 2009
The Wild Bunch were a sound system outfit based in the St Pauls district of Bristol from 1983 to 1986. The group was renowned for playing sets that drew large crowds on the club scene and had performed shows as far away as London. They performed in soundclashes against other Bristol sound systems. The Wild Bunch's sound incorporated a wide and disparate variety of musical styles - an unusual thing at the time. Their shows included elements of punk, R&B and reggae, with a focus on slower rhythms and ambient electronic atmospheres that would become a cornerstone of the Bristol sound, more popularly known as trip-hop. They were a key member of what became the Bristol underground scene.
The Wild Bunch is perhaps best known for having been the first group of several notable British DJs and performers:
- Robert Del Naja (3D), Grant Marshall (Daddy G) and Andrew Vowles (Mushroom), went on to form Massive Attack in 1987.
- Tricky, also a part-time member of the outfit, performed with Massive Attack on their first and second full-length releases, Blue Lines and Protection respectively, before pursuing a successful solo career.
- Nellee Hooper, who moved to London after the group's dissolution and worked as a producer and remixer for a number of major brands, including Madonna, U2, No Doubt, Björk and others. He won the 1995 BRIT Award for Best Producer and was also a member of Soul II Soul.
Other members included:
- Miles Johnson, aka DJ Milo, who retired from the scene after The Wild Bunch.
- Claude Williams, aka Willy Wee
In 2002, DJ Milo released The Wild Bunch - Story of a Sound System, a collection of songs that are representative of the music The Wild Bunch performed. The booklet included with the album contains an extensive history of the group, as well as pictures.

Media in 2014 will be harnessing connected experiences
The power of mobility, the breath of platforms, the application of new data and the harnessing of connected experiences are set to guide marketing in 2014, says Mindshare's chief executive, Mark Creighton.
Mark Creighton: chief executive of Mindshare
For the first time in many years, a device didn't appear on the Creighton Christmas note to Santa. In fact, I'm already blocking out some time over the festive period to understand the potential of the mobile phone and tablet I've had for over a year.
2014 will be the year when mobile will begin to mean a whole lot more to people. Not because a whole range of new smartphones will emerge – they most certainly will – but the reasons to unlock the power of the device in your pocket or bag, will become more relevant and the infrastructure these experiences rely upon, more seamless.
For the geek inside all of us, it won't just be about a rectangular box in our hands, it will be on our wrists, in front of our eyes, maybe attached to relevant parts of our body (make of that what you will). Currently, the global number of wearable smart devices stands at 8.3 million, driven largely by fitness-related products such as Jawbone and Fitbit. By 2018, this is predicted to increase by almost 180 million with a much broader functionality.
These developments should make our marketing conversation less about mobile as a device or channel, and instead will be about the future of mobility as a whole.
The power of mobility
The power of mobility – whether it's in terms of our location, our motion, our senses, or our direction – will be the key driver of this consumer experience and in turn, the opportunity for advertisers. By connecting digital and physical experiences together via mobility, we will make customer journeys from "virtual" research to purchasing within store, on the forecourt or in venue more fluid.
Mobility will define the new ecosystems and integration of devices – one device will not be the answer to all our needs. Increasingly, consumers are relying on several different devices connecting and working together.
This is not only an opportunity for hardware and software developers, but also creates new opportunities for content development and curation. Increasingly, 2014 will be about content creators acknowledging the breadth of platforms on which their content is being consumed, rather than simply seeking the single device that is the predominant choice of the largest audience.
Content development and curation
This is particularly true in television, where for some time, the viewer experience has not just been about the box in the corner of the living room. Consumption, delivery and the curation of our TV viewing will evolve apace throughout 2014 and the challenge for advertisers will be to determine where to engage with a range of new players, new content and new data.
2014 will see a greater application of new data to both the targeting and measurement of TV advertising, the delivery of more niche professionally produced content in environments such as YouTube, and a better understanding of the connection between linear TV viewing and powerful social conversations.
The opportunity to harness this potential comes down to a change in attitude across the TV industry about what "television" is and can be. Rudimentary delineations that ghettoize "video", (read not traditional broadcast) from "TV" content, fail to acknowledge that for many viewers these forms of content co-exist and neither one is superior to the other.
It is important that as an industry we celebrate television in all its forms, test and refine the data that powers it, but ensure we do not lose sight of the powerful relationship that the viewer has with great content, irrelevant of its originator or delivery mechanism.
In the increasingly connected landscape, TV has been one of the most active partners in harnessing the power of the social space. Twitter Amplify can now be used to share branded in-tweet video clips and has signed up Viacom and the BBC to provide content. Meanwhile, over in the US, NBC have included a new "See it" button on their posts, which will allows users to watch or record programmes with the single click of a button on Twitter.
Manifestations of this trend can be seen across a whole range of other media channels. The cinema industry for example, is filling empty seats with a social cinema initiative, where consumers can set up their own private screening of any film, and use Facebook or Twitter to promote it their friends.
Connecting media experiences
This more collaborative approach to using social begins to provide a clearer definition amongst advertisers of the role it can play in connecting media experiences together, as much as being an isolated advertising channel in its own right. As large players like Facebook and Twitter seek to deliver their new shareholders' commercial expectations, this broader role as a "connector" across an advertiser's activity could be extremely powerful.
2014 will be about harnessing the potential of these connected experiences in media through a better understanding of new consumer behaviours, the real potential of technology and the power of great content. This will require a more collaborative attitude to the way that different media work together to deliver holistic advertising experiences, rather than simplistic channel hierarchies.Mark Creighton is chief executive of WPP's Mindshare

The record run-up in oil prices over recent years is igniting fierce debate over the "peak oil" theory — that once the maximum rate of global crude production is reached, it begins a terminal, and possibly steep, decline.
It has become a high profile debate — Boone Pickens weighed in on it before Congress — that depends not just on whether one tends to see the barrel half empty or half full — it's often a question of getting a good look at the barrel.
That's certainly a debate swirling around OPEC countries — which produce about a third of the world's oil — which are widely believed to overstate their reserves. Just how much, no one knows.
The reason: cartel members' reserves are the basis for calculating quotas; the lower the reserves, the less oil they can sell. (Non-OPEC, oil-producing countries are more transparent on the subject because their respective international oil companies have to report estimated reserves to investors.)
So far, there is no definitive indication that production is headed southward, much less that any decline is permanent. Saudi Arabia, for instance, recently demonstrated its heft by bringing on excess capacity.
To be sure there are warning signs. Global production fell last year (by 0.2 percent), while consumption continued to grow (by 1.1 percent), and peak oil proponents (which includes an international association) say this squeeze will really bite by 2010.
Skeptics insist oil remains a cyclical business, where the question is always how much oil at a certain price. By this reckoning, today's high prices will eventually lead to more supply — through more exploration, enhanced recovery and development of "unconventional" oil.
Geological variables are just part of the supply equation. Human factors — politics, taxes, investment levels, and that 80 percent of the world's oil is state-controlled — can be equally important.
It's no wonder, then, that passions can run high in the peak oil debate, sometimes to a pitch that makes it a challenge to bring rival camps to share a stage. That's where a cyber soapbox comes in handy. Here we present two opposing views from long-sparring rivals.
Matthew Simmons, who leads an independent, Houston-based investment bank,Simmons & Company,specializing in the energy industry, is the author of "Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy,"which popularized the theory of peak oil, and firmly believes production isn't going any higher.
Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Consulting, has been a long-time peak oil skeptic.
How were you convinced (either way) about peak oil, and does the recent run-up in oil prices provide evidence confirming or contradicting peak oil?
Simmons: I'm a data nut. I don't really care what people believe [about oil supplies]. I wrote my book after reading some 200 technical reports about the declining oil fields in Saudi Arabia.
You can line up upwards of 50 to 60 individual oil fields that are of significant size, and they all have that same trajectory. (For instance, Prudhoe Bay, the largest US oil field, maintained peak production — 1.5 million barrels per day — for 11 years but is now down to 200,000 bpd, and within five years will be at 50,000 bpd.) If you look at that, it becomes more and more clear that if we are not at peak oil, we are at a mesa.
Lynch: Peakists predict a peak and it comes and goes, and then they predict a new peak and keep insisting the method is correct. It's just a little premature. But we see oil production going up and up over time. Over the last 10 to 15 years we have had a number of peaks and declines, followed by new increases in production.
I agree there is cause for concern. There is no question we have seen the worst non-OPEC performance, probably historically ... and this has gone on for about a decade. But I think a lot of that is explainedby the shift of investment money.
How thoroughly has the world been explored, and is it clear that there are very diminished prospects for finding giant elephant fields?
Simmons: The history of finding new basins has generally come towards the end of a very disappointing exploration program and somewhat as a surprise — that's how we found West Siberia, the North Slope and the North Sea. It took a decade of poking around and then all of sudden — bingo! — they find a producible structure. The problem is that we have been poking around in all the known areas and we have not had a bingo event for a long time. The Saudis have been on a scavenger hunt for 45 years and have found nothing. The closest thing we have had in recent years was the deepwater of the Gulf of Mexico.
Lynch: Almost every year the industry has added about 5 million barrels a day, mostly to cover depletion, so it seems kind of invisible — but that's Ghawar (a Saudi giant field). We are not finding anything like Ghawar, but if you ask people where did you find 25 million in the last five years, most people would not be able identify a fraction of that.
What do you consider the most encouraging discoveries? For instance, how significant is the recent Brazilian off-shore oil find, and what about the US Geological Survey's assessment (shared by the Russian and others) that the Arctic is rich with hydrocarbons? And don't new explorations advances make discoveries more likely?
Lynch: Twenty years ago, we did not have the technology to go into deepwater or sub-salt and now you are starting to see these new areas, in Brazil, off Indonesia and Malaysia and new finds in East Africa — these may not be elephants but ducks.
India and China have been run by state-owned companies for a long time, so until very recently they were way behind technologically, so you've got to expect there is a lot of potential. In Russia too, depending on the political situation. BP's joint venture had been saying they were going to increase 10 to 15 percent a year for a long time before their latest political problem. The Caspian [Sea] still has a long way too. In the Gulf of Mexico, the Jack discovery byChevron means there is going to be a bunch more — potentially 11 billion barrels in the whole basin.
Simmons: It is always possible we will find another North Sea, but it's not within the realm of possibilities that we will find seven North Seas.
Petrobras is trying to corral 70 deep-water rigs by 2017, so it is my guess that it will be 2025 before we really have any idea whether the Santos basin could be anything remotely like the North Sea, which peaked (in 1999) at 6.1 million barrels before it went to half that seven later. In 40 years we have drilled 220 dry wells in the Arctic. So before we become too optimistic about Arctic oil, we better find some first.
In releasing its recent Statistical Review of World Energy, BP recently said there are 1.24 trillion barrels of oil left, (other estimates say the remaining global oil resource base is actually 3.74 trillion barrels) and that the supply limits are due less to geology than human factors. Do you agree with that?
Lynch: Geology matters, but so do taxes, politics and so forth. Mexico is an example. What happened there is a budgetary battle. Pemex [the national energy company] said our costs have gone up, we need a bigger budget or production will collapse and after a long delay the government is giving them more money; production should at least stabilize, perhaps rise in the next year or two.
Simmons: The optimists all say the only thing we have to fear are the above ground risks, and there are a surprising number of above-ground risks we need to be concerned about.
[But] we will all probably go to our graves wondering, had we actually had enough rigs, had we had enough people and had we spent enough money, or had we not drilled all those dry wells, we might have actually not ended up with oil being produced in ten years from now at 40 to 50 percent its current rate.
How important are Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) efforts in stanching depletion rates in oil friends?
Simmons: Human beings and oil fields have a remarkable number of similarities. When finally old people start rapidly aging, the quality of their life goes down and the cost of their life soars. That's what EOR is all about, and it has been around for 50 years. We are just using it more. Towards the tail end you can actually do an enormous amount to extend production life for years, but it is extremely expensive and it basically only stabilizes at a low base.
If we have a decline rate [in flow rate] of 4.5 percent, (as a report from Cambridge Energy Research Associates maintains) that means we have to add a new Iran every year. The likelihood of that is impossible. I think the actual current decline rate is 8 to 10 percent.
Lynch: Reserve revisions, through a combination of new discoveries and growth in old fields, are basically holding up all over the world.
If a company in the North Sea adds 3 million barrels to its reserves by drilling an extra well in some field, you just don't hear about it, and especially when prices are high, people are doing that all over the world and it adds up.
I recently heard when ... geologists working on three California fields that have been producing for 100 years were asked how much oil is left, they said they had no idea. People like Simmons ask how is that possible; well, it's down in the ground, you can't really see it.

A hint of how city might react to Elgin cop's lawsuit
By Mike Danahey firstname.lastname@example.com January 6, 2013 7:42PM
Updated: February 8, 2013 6:10AM
ELGIN — After learning the details of a lawsuit filed Dec. 27 by Elgin Police Officer Phil Brown accusing the city and two supervising officers of racial discrimination, City Manager Sean Stegall said the case was without merit.
The city took the same position on similar discrimination claims Brown brought to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2011, saying the "charges fail for many reasons."
According to a document obtained by The Courier-News through the Freedom of Information Act, on Sept. 26, 2012, the EEOC closed its file on the case, checking a box where the information states the commission "is unable to conclude that the information obtained establishes violations of the statutes. This does not certify that the respondent is in compliance with the statutes. No finding is made as to any other issues that might be construed as having been raised by the charge."
The document also notes that Brown had 90 days from its receipt to file a lawsuit.
Brown's suit accuses the city "of failing to redress unlawful racial discrimination occurring within the City Police Department, creating and perpetuating a hostile work environment, permitting officers and agents of the city to routinely use racial slurs against African American police officers like (Brown), a 16-plus-year veteran of the Elgin Police Department, treating African American officers like Officer Brown differently on the basis of race and failing to promptly and fully investigate allegations of race discrimination including those made by plaintiff, resulting in loss of employment opportunities and significant pain and suffering of plaintiff."
Besides the city, it names police Lt. Sean Rafferty and Elgin Professional Standards Officer Jim Barnes, accusing them of "engaging in conduct that each knew constituted race discrimination."
Brown also is claiming the city of violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act. He is seeking injunctive relief, statutory damages and compensatory damages from the city, Rafferty and Barnes.
City response
In a letter to the EEOC dated Dec. 20, 2011, Thomas Piskorski, the lawyer who was representing the city, states that "until March, 2011, Brown never notified the city of any comment or action he believed represented race discrimination...When he did notify the city of his belief ... the city immediately conducted a thorough investigation ... . At the end of the investigation, the city determined that most of the allegations were without merit."
However, the investigation did lead to a five-day suspension issued to Rafferty in July 2011 for violating city policy about making race-based jokes. According to an order of suspension issued July 26, 2011, during a trip to Indianapolis in the late 1990s, Rafferty "posed for a picture making a joke about the Ku Klux Klan. Such behavior is unacceptable whether on-duty or off-duty."
Brown told authorities he came into possession of the photo several years prior to 2011 after someone anonymously left it at his locker at the police station. Brown told authorities he recalled Rafferty making a racially inflammatory comment when the photo in Indianapolis was taken.
In a second instance, the order states that either in late 2009 or early 2010, Rafferty texted Brown a message and a photo of a photograph asking Brown, "Which one are you?" Rafferty was attending his daughter's high school basketball game at Glenbard North in Carol Stream, where Brown graduated. The photo was one Rafferty spotted at the school of the baseball squad on which Brown was the only black player.
Brown went before an arbitrator in June 2011 regarding two suspensions of his own. As a result of the arbitration, Brown faced a two-day suspension.
Brown had challenged facing a 10-day suspension for conduct unbecoming a police officer. The matter stemmed from Brown being charged with a DUI and eluding Bartlett police in an incident that occurred after he attended a wedding reception for a fellow Elgin police officer several years ago, sources told The Courier-News at the time. Brown was acquitted of the charges.
Brown also challenged a suspension issued about four years prior that initially was supposed to be for five days after city officials said they learned from an FBI wiretap that Brown was associating with a known gang member.
Misconduct charges
Piskorski's letter to the EEOC notes that, "beginning in 2009, Brown faced disciplinary suspensions for acts of misconduct. The relevance of these disciplinary proceedings is that Brown raised his allegation of racial discrimination just before those disciplinary proceedings reached mediation/arbitration under the collective bargaining agreement."
In the lawsuit, Brown claims that in or around January 2011, Brown asked Police Chief Jeff Swoboda to have a photo taken with him while Brown wore a commemorative badge. The lawsuit claims Swoboda declined because of Brown's facial hair and that Swoboda ordered the badge placed on a newly hired white officer who posed with Swoboda and that the picture "appeared on the front page of the local newspaper — the Chronicle News."
The lawsuit claims that led Brown "to feel demeaned and humiliated" and that after the photo was published he was taunted and mocked as was so distressed "that he permanently ceased wearing his commemorative badge."
In response to a similar complaint to the EEOC, Piskorski states, "Brown fails to include that the chief also prohibited white police officers with facial hair to be in the photograph ... a white officer with facial hair also was excluded from the photo shoot — which Brown was told and knew at the time ... (and) is yet another example of a patently false allegation made by Brown."
In the lawsuit, Brown claims "the Elgin Police Department circulated a memorandum to its officers alerting the officers that certain individuals who belonged to a gang called "Hood N*****s" could be detained without probable cause. In fact, no such gang 'Hood N*****s' existed at that time."
Responding to a similar charge Brown made to the EEOC, Piskorski's letter states that the gang in question was a known sub-unit of the Gangster Disciples. It offered evidence from police bulletins of the gang operating in Elgin and of police bulletins also noting "no probable cause to detain exists."
"That Brown asserts this gang is 'fictitious' raises serious concerns about his ability to perform his law enforcement duties," Piskorski's letter states.
Brown's EEOC complaint also states that from March 2009 up to that filing, he had used 82 sick days because "the racial discrimination and hostile work environment had caused him to not be able to perform his job" and led him "to seek medical, psychological and counseling services."

This week's selection for the Extreme Explorer Hall of Fame is the landmark first asteroid lander--the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft.
So remarkable was its journey--to soft-land on a peanut shaped asteroid - about 176 million kilometers (109 million miles) from Earth. Eros is the Greek name for Cupid, the familiar bringer of love from classical mythology, and somewhat appropriately the lander began its historic dive to the heart of its asteroid companion on Valentine's Day, 2001.
At the time, Andrew Cheng, NEAR Project Scientist wrote: "On Monday, 12 February 2001, the NEAR spacecraft touched down on asteroid Eros, after transmitting 69 close-up images of the surface during its final descent. Watching that event was the most exciting experience of my life."
To relive that remarkable event last month--even after the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft had exceeded every mission expectation -- the project team asked for one more spectacular addition to the mission's legacy: Talk to us one more time.
But NEAR Shoemaker - the first spacecraft to orbit, land on and send data from the surface of an asteroid - kept mum despite a 12-hour effort to communicate with it.
"The exercise was an experiment to see how robust the spacecraft and its instrumentation and subsystems were given the extremely cold temperature it has been in for nearly two years," says NEAR Mission Director Robert Farquhar. "We didn't hold out much hope but we had an opportunity to establish an important data point and didn't want to lose the chance."
The attempt was initiated at 2:40 p.m. EST, Tuesday, Dec. 10, by the NEAR mission operations team at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, which managed the mission and built the spacecraft, and the Deep Space Network team, which supported the effort through their 70-meter Goldstone antenna. With asteroid Eros only about 86 million miles (138 million kilometers) from Earth - less than half the distance it was when NEAR Shoemaker landed on it in February 2001 - and NEAR Shoemaker's solar panels basking in sunlight for the past three months, the timing was ideal.
First, operators listened passively for a carrier signal from the spacecraft. Then they sent commands asking NEAR Shoemaker to transmit data indicating it had survived the last 22 months on the asteroid's surface, despite temperatures that dipped as low as minus 170 degrees Celsius (-274 degrees Fahrenheit) and long periods of total darkness.
Not knowing which of NEAR Shoemaker's two computers had access to its transmitter, mission operators tried sending commands to one, then the other. Then they waited -- in vain -- to receive data. Farquhar says the team will probably never know precisely why NEAR Shoemaker did not respond and they do not expect to try again.
To ensure its picture-perfect crash landing, the scientists had to precisely calculate the rate of the asteroid's rotation. If they had measured wrong, the spacecraft would have landed on the asteroid at the wrong angle spoiling the opportunity for picture taking. Scientists at Caltech in Pasadena, California, and the National Space Studies Centre in Toulouse, France, had determined that Eros rotates once every 5.27 hours. The Caltech team then measured Eros's rotation by tracking the movement of landmarks on the series of photographs beamed back from the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft's on-board camera.
Cheng recollected the human drama of those tense moments of soft-crash: "I was asked immediately afterwards how I felt, and I mumbled something about being tired and happy, but I missed the point. I realized afterward what I should have said: it was like watching Michael Jordan on the basketball court, when the game is on the line and he is in the groove. One miracle after another unfolds, and we are left stunned and speechless. When we learned that the spacecraft had not only landed on the surface, but was still operational, we hardly knew what to think."
The asteroid's rotation and unusual shape (in places resembling either a heart or giant peanut) can result in a very complex gravitational field, and this further complicated the Eros landing. But the scientists had plotted the contours of Eros to an accuracy of 1 kilometer (0.6 mile), allowing them to estimate the gravitation of Eros at various points on the asteroid. Gravity did the rest of the work, to a soft crash landing.
To have a gravitational pull strong enough to attract other large bodies, an object in space has to be at least 100 kilometers (60 miles) wide. Eros is approximately 30 kilometers (20 miles long), so its parent body could very well have been big enough to form one of the planets in our solar system.
The various measurements conducted by the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft have helped scientists to understand the composition, mineralogy, and other characteristics of Eros, which, in turn, have allowed them to make assumptions about the history of the asteroid.
"The final weeks of low altitude operations," noted Cheng, "revealed bizarre and surprising aspects of surface structures on Eros, including one type of feature we noticed for the first time in the very last image taken by the spacecraft (the incomplete image taken from a height of 120 meters, 2001 Feb 12F )."
"There are markedly fewer small, fresh craters on Eros than we would expect from our experience at the Moon, and an amazing profusion of boulders, likewise more than we expected. We do not know just what is happening on the surface of Eros to cover and/or obliterate craters while making and/or uncovering boulders. "
Delayed indefinitely this month, ESA's Rosetta lander, was to be the first man-made object to land on a comet. Hampered by rocketry concerns, the landing phase presented planners with another set of challenges altogether. "Firstly, we don't know anything about how rough the surface is," said Rosetta Project Scientist Gerhard Schwehm. "It could be covered with fluffy snow like the Alps or it could be hard rocks and craters. We can, however, be sure that it will not be smooth and flat resembling parking lots."
Scientists had designed Rosetta's landing gear to cope with most nasty surprises as soon as it touches down on Comet Wirtanen in 2011. Two harpoons were to anchor the probe to the surface. The self-adjusting landing gear will ensure that it stays upright, even on a slope. The lander's feet will drill into the ground. These devices will help counteract the fact that there is no gravity on a comet.
Nevertheless in the next 5 or so years there will be, if everything works out, no fewer than six to seven encounters of spacecraft with comets and asteroids. All the following missions are fully funded, though only not all have already been launched (the others will follow in 2003 to 2004):
As Cheng concluded after their remarkable encounter with Eros, "The images tell us a tale whose outcome we don't yet know, but there is more."

A Hot Springs Escape in the San Juans
Black Bear Manor • Ouray, CO
Escape Kit
- A One- ($129) or Two-Night ($239) Stay for Two, Thursdays through Saturdays, in a Standard or Select Room
- Two Passes to Ouray Hot Springs Pool
- Late 12 p.m. Checkout
- Chocolate Truffles
- Nightly Wine and Beer Reception
- 24-Hour Complimentary Soda, Juice, Water, and Hot Tea Service
The Destination
They don't call it the Switzerland of America for nothing. In Ouray, a former Colorado mining town about halfway between Durango and Grand Junction, the San Juan Mountains seem larger than life, towering over the well-preserved 19th-century buildings that lend Main Street its yesteryear charm. And while its awe-inspiring landscapes have provided the backdrop for a number of movies and TV shows, Ouray remains relatively unsullied by corporate interests, instead serving as a jumping-off point for mountain bikers, hikers, and ice climbers who've opted to take the road less traveled. Of course, at the end of the day, locals and visitors alike congregate at the nearby hot springs for a soak and a deep, refreshing breath of that Rocky Mountain air.
The Digs
Situated on Sixth Avenue, Black Bear Manor is conveniently located for walking around town. All of the accommodations feature an exterior door that opens up to a wraparound veranda, ideal for soaking in the majestic mountain air. Previous guests rave about the divine views of the Rocky Mountains and the Uncompahgre River, in addition to the outstanding service. You'll be swimming in amenities throughout your stay, including a wine reception from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. each evening; complimentary soda, juice, water, and hot tea; chocolate truffles upon arrival; and a late 12 p.m. checkout.
The Diversions
After breakfast, grab your pick and climb up frozen H2O at Ouray Ice Park, lace up your skates and glide across the ice in Rotary Park, or cross-country ski through the powder on the San Juan Mountains. The Red Mountain Pass area offers opportunities for backcountry skiers, while Telluride Ski Resort and Silverton Mountain (both only about an hour away) will satisfy those with a yearning for downhill action on the slopes.
Later, slip into your suits and envelop yourself in the clear natural hot springs in Ouray's massive, watery mecca—Ouray Hot Springs Pool—and enjoy the steamy temperatures, ranging from 96 to 106 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the area of the pool. Then, let the pros work out any leftover kinks with a dreamy, post-plunge massage for an additional fee.

Curcumin is impressing scientists around the world with its remarkable multiple health benefits. Curcumin is a polyphenol present in the spice turmeric and was first used by Indians over 3,000 years ago in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Modern science has found that curcumin has remarkable health benefits for nearly every organ system in the body13-18 … including its ability to inhibit enzymes that help produce inflammation in the body.19
Studies have tied inflammation to overexpression of a protein molecule called nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB). NF-kappaB acts like a switch to turn on genes that produce the body's inflammatory responses. Because NF-kappaB's expression increases in aging adults, scientists have sought ways to modulate NF-kappaB and its effects in the body.
Curcumin has been shown to exert powerful inhibitory effects on NF-kappaB activation within the body.20-23 Curcumin inhibits overexpression of NF-kappaB. In addition, curcumin inhibits the metabolism of arachidonic acid, as well as activities of cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and cytokines (interleukins and tumor necrosis factor).24-27
Other clinical trials suggest roles for curcumin in helping maintain healthy bowel and joint functions.28-36 Curcumin can also help maintain normal healthy platelet function,37-40 and have immunomodulatory effects by inhibiting histamine release from mast cells.41-43 Other studies show curcumin's potential for supporting healthy brain function and offering neuroprotection.44-53
Curcumin may effectively support pancreatic islet health.54-59 Curcumin's multifaceted effects include protecting against estrogen-mimicking chemicals,60-64 protecting against free radicals, and promoting normal cell cycle growth.
The problem is that curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. Super Bio-Curcumin® absorbs up to seven times better than conventional curcumin. So this patented formula represents the most cost-effective way to supplement with this critical nutrient. Studies show that one 400 mg capsule a day of this turmeric compound can provide curcumin blood levels equal to ingesting 2,500–2,800 mg of commercial curcumin supplements. And not only does this turmeric formulation provide far greater peak blood levels, but the curcumin remains in the bloodstream almost twice as long as conventional supplements. And this enhanced absorption delivery complex provides other beneficial turmeric compounds in addition to standardized curcumin.
Each 400 mg capsule of Super Bio-Curcumin® is equivalent to 2,772 mg of a typical 95% curcumin extract.

Take it twice a day WITH FOOD, everyday for a few years so far and coincidentally have not been sick since I began. I used to have plenty of allergy and sinus issues and would get bad head colds every year but now I just take 2 of these per day and cross my fingers. So far, so goood! I recommend these to everyone I know and they have benefited many friends & family members. I am not normally the type of person to take something everyday but this is different, I am absolutely sure I have been a healthier person from daily Curcumin intake.

Good product but...
Regular daily use is hard on my stomach so I need to take it every other day even though I take it with food.

The year 2012 will not be looked back on with fond memories for Scotland. Only two wins from eight games, not a single one in competitive action, and yet another major tournament passing us by with noses pressed up against the window. Only if you're into football betting and laid on the inevitability of Craig Levein's eventual sacking can you have taken any satisfaction from the year as a Scotland fan.

From the Left: You don't need handguns
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 15:02
I'm reasonable. You can keep your shotguns and rifles, but not automatic rifles of course. Anyone who believes they need a Kalashnikov lives on a completely different planet from me. But isn't it great that we live in a country where you can have one? We have so much more to learn from Somalia. Rifles and shotguns have traditional uses. People have hunted for as long as humans have existed. I've dabbled in it myself and can say without shame that I've reverse-drowned many a fish. I'm not interested in stopping hunters, nor in getting sidetracked by complicated animal rights issues, as much as I love distractions.
What I am interested in is telling you that you don't need handguns. The Constitution is a little vague. It doesn't say what types of arms you get to bear, which allowed us to enforce the now expired assault weapons ban. But more importantly, if the Constitution told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it? I didn't think so. We could bend the rule without breaking it. We could pick a type of weapon to ban.
Handguns don't serve a recreational purpose. Anyone could understand that target practice might be fun. But you can do that with shotguns and rifles, and that's all that handguns are good for, that and shooting people. People are injured or killed by a firearm over 100,000 times per year in the United States, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention data, and every time it happens that is a big "F U" from the second amendment.
But if people are going around shooting each other, don't we need guns to defend ourselves? Not really; people are killed by their own guns more than by those of others. Over 18,000 people were accidentally shot in 2009, and in 2007 over 600 died of accidental shootings, according to CDC data. However, what is really striking is how rarely guns are used successfully in self defense as opposed to murder.
There were an average of 213 fatal justified shootings per year between 2005 and 2010, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In a pure, but probably fairly accurate, extrapolation of the data on my part, you can assume that 15 percent of self-defense shootings are fatal and thus there were only around 1,400 injurious self-defense shootings. For transparency, I get 15 percent from CDC statistics which show that of around 86,000 non-suicidal shootings, there are over 12,000 gunshot fatalities. Excluding suicide, there are around 54 gun murders for every one self-defense fatality, according to CDC and FBI data. About one in 225,000 (approximate – USA population divided by 1,400) Americans will fire a gun in self-defense each year, though about 1 in 2 has one (47 percent according to a Gallup poll from 2011). Many gun owners are convinced that there is a strong possibility that they'll need their gun for self defense, but that would be like winning the lottery.
Gun-lovers love to think they are responsible. No matter how responsible they are, or think they are, there is a strong possibility that kids will find their guns. My grandfather (to be honest, I question his responsibility) left his gun in the trunk of his car. My cousins and I touched it as kids, and may have picked it up. I don't know if it was loaded. Around five kids are injured or killed by handguns each day in the United States, according to the The Survivors Club. The children of parents you'd probably consider responsible, in one recent case of a police officer, find guns and hurt or kill themselves.
This column has become dark and depressing. It is depressing because we live in the world's most gun obsessed wealthy country. Our culture is too accepting of devices that have no use other than killing people. Having a rifle or shotgun for hunting is understandable, but handguns don't serve this purpose. Just because they are occasionally used in self defense doesn't make up for all the lives lost.
The Constitution was designed to do what's best for us (at least us white men). What was best for us over 220 years ago is not what's best for us now (not just white men). We need to continue to adapt, for the betterment of the people. Another amendment clarifying the second amendment would be good but, as the (unfortunately) expired assault weapons ban shows, we don't even need to change the constitution to improve things. We could ban handguns outright. We could also prevent purchases from gun owners, instead of dealers, as this allows convicts and the mentally ill to bypass background checks. But unless you are in law enforcement or the military, you don't need handguns.

how many were not fatal,how many people just brandished thier handgun and this stopped a possible robbery or rape? im sure your a bright guy but im also betting you have lived your life in safe suroundings and have never been around tough neighborhoods(or tough people) with 5 yrs of doing nightclub security under my belt and several friends in law enforcement i can tell you that there have been many a victim that wished they were carrying a handgun. im also confused about your belief that ownership of a AK47 should be outlawed but the ownership of a hunting rifle is fine. its my belief that grandpas old bolt action is way deadlier,ak's have mediem size rounds and are good for 400 to 500 yards...hunting rifles can be good for over 1000yrds and can go thru a car engine.and most pros will tell you that in close quarters battles the shotgun has an edge since it can cover a wider area with each shot.i hope miles that your never in a situation where you need to fight for your life or someone you care abouts but id bet every dime i had that if it did you would pray to god and be willing to do anything to have a gun in your hand at that moment..and one last thing just in case your thinking you only hav to call them...the average responce time is 8 min....people have been robbed,assualted,murdered ,and kidnapped in 8 seconds.

Back in the first part of the twentieth century, managerial changes were pretty much a rarity when it came to Big Apple baseball teams. The Giants had the legendary John McGraw as their skipper for thirty years. For the Yankees, it was Miller Huggins from 1918 until 1929 and it took the death of "Hug" for the Yankees to make a change. In Brooklyn, it was "Uncle Robbie." Before he got the field skipper's job with Brooklyn, however, today's Pinstripe Birthday Celebrant had been a very good catcher with the old Baltimore Orioles teams of the 1890's, when that franchise was part of the original National League. He was sold to the Cardinals in 1900. Just a year later, the new American League was formed and Baltimore was granted a franchise. Robinson's old Oriole teammate, John McGraw was named manager and he convinced Wilbert to return to Baltimore and play for the new team. The catcher did so but when McGraw was later suspended by AL President Ban Johnson, he left the league and took a job as the manager of the New York Giants. Robinson then became the Orioles' player Manager in 1902. The Orioles finished 24-57 that season prompting Wilbert to accept McGraw's invitation to become the Giant pitching coach, a job he held for over a decade. That same season, the Orioles AL franchise was relocated to New York and became the Highlanders.
In 1914, Brooklyn hired Robinson to replace Bill Dahlen as Dodger skipper. He stayed in that job for eighteen seasons and helped bring respectability to a franchise that had pretty much become a laughing stock for its ineptness. Under Robinson, Brooklyn won the NL pennant in both 1916 and 1920 and he compiled a 1,375 – 1,341 career record. He shares his birthday with this long-ago Yankee outfielder and this former Yankee reliever who also played in pinstripes.
