- Abstract
- One of the most significant innovations to take place in local government in the 1980s has been the introduction of microcomputers and associated software across a wide spectrum of municipal functions. Use of computers in local government is not a new phenomenon---a decade ago one in five municipalities in Australia owned a computer and a further one in five utilized a computer bureau service (Davis and Walker 1980). At that time, however, computing was a 'central' mainframe-based facility functionally linked to a limited array of financial-administrative activities and accessible to only a small elite within the EDP session. We now have a clear break with this earlier pattern. Microcomputers are being introduced at 'departmental' levels enabling practitioners to use a growing range of analytical packages. Therein lies the raison d'être of this book. Two principal factors have accounted for the diffusion of this innovation into local government, namely technology push (i.e. the opportunities provided by new technology to solve a range of existing local area problems) and market need (whereby practitioner needs are made known within the marketplace and new technology, either products or processes, are devised in response; Voss 1984).

For Beth Orton, it's always been about the songwriting
"Mountain Stage"
With Beth Orton, Jesse Harris, David Wax Museum, Lucy Kaplansky and Barnaby Bright
WHERE: Culture Center Theater
WHEN: 7 p.m.
TICKETS: Advance $15, at the door $25
INFO: 800-549-TIXX or www.mountainstage.org
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It's not something a lot of recording artists have ever done but, when she was 19 years old, singer/songwriter Beth Orton spent three months in an Asian Buddhist monastery.
The 41-year-old Brit, who headlines "Mountain Stage's" return to the Culture Center this Sunday, said, "I did, at one point. I did it because I got the opportunity and I thought, 'I'd never do this again.'
"I really got into it, I guess. I really loved living with these people. I loved meditating, and I loved the experience of something so completely other than what I'd known before.
"Yeah," she added. "It kind of pulled me in."
Orton said the spiritual experience opened the way for her to become who she is an artist.
"After the monastery," she said, "I started writing songs."
Orton wrote a lot of songs. Over the course of her career, which began in the early 1990s, Orton has recorded six albums, two EPs and collaborated with artists such as Grammy-winner William Orbit, electronica duo The Chemical Brothers and Scottish folksinger Bert Jansch.
She's toured extensively and was part of Sarah McLachlin's Lilith Fair in 1999. Her music has been featured in films like "Vanilla Sky," and television shows including "Dawson's Creek" and "Grey's Anatomy."
For years, Orton was recognized for her fusion of folk and electronica music, which she appears to have moved away from more with her latest record, "Sugaring Season." The album, which has garnered several favorable reviews, features more of a straightforward singer/songwriter approach and less of the electronic aesthetic she was known for.
Orton didn't see it as a departure, just a matter of her current tastes.
"I've essentially always been a songwriter," she said. "What I put around the lyrics, in terms of music, I think, is the basis for what I've always been doing."
Still, whether she thinks she's really switched gears musically, Orton is definitely in a different place creatively than she's been. Her life has changed.
Since her last record, six years ago, Orton gave birth to two children, got married and broadened her musical horizons working with Jansch, whose music influenced artists ranging from Bernie Taupin and Elton John to Neil Young and Fleet Foxes.
"I spent a couple of years working with him and learning from him," she said.
And while she wasn't recording material, Orton said, she never stopped writing.
"I wrote lots of songs, and I thought a bit about whether I wanted to put more music into the world."
Orton might not have bothered if she hadn't found a new record label.
"I got a great record deal with a label called Anti," she said, "and I was just happy."
Orton doesn't meditate like she did when she was 19 and living with Buddhist nuns.
She said, "I'm not that great of a meditator; I'm not really good at sitting down. But I do other things, and songwriting is one way where I definitely can shut off myself."
Orton didn't think her kind of meditation opened the creative floodgates. That comes from how she's able to step to the side of her own mind.
"The best work I do," she said, "is when I get out of the way of it."

National tour of musical stops in costa mesa next week on road to broadway
"Flashdance the Musical"
When: opens Tuesday and runs through May 19; showtimes, 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays-Fridays; 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturdays; 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sundays
Where: Segerstrom Center for the Arts, 600 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa
Tickets: $20 and up
Phone: (714) 556-2787
Online: scfta.org
In the movie "Flashdance," a talented young woman beats the odds to achieve her dream of becoming a professional ballerina.
You could say the same thing about Vista-raised actress Kelly Felthous, who has a featured role in the national tour of "Flashdance the Musical," which makes its only Southern California stop next week in Costa Mesa.
Felthous, who attended elementary and middle school in Bonsall and graduated from Vista High, can barely remember a time in her life that she wasn't dancing and singing. Her mother, Diane Felthous, ran a dance studio and when Kelly was a little girl, she began performing in local community theaters. She turned professional at age 8, performing in "Jane Eyre" at La Jolla Playhouse and "Ruthless" at The Theatre in Old Town, and when she was 12, she hit the road with the national tour of "The Sound of Music" (as Brigitta von Trapp).
"I'm from a very artistic family and I owe everything to my mother," Felthous said in an interview from a "Flashdance" tour stop in Portland, Ore., last week.
Felthous, who's in her mid-20s and now lives in New York, plays the role of Gloria in "Flashdance." Gloria is the best friend of Alex — who's a lady welder by day and an exotic dancer by night. The musical, which launched in November with the goal of one day playing on Broadway, is based on the 1983 film starring Jennifer Beals and it features songs from the movie and other 1980s classics.
Felthous' character (named Jeanie in the film) is an aspiring ice skater who turns to pole-dancing at a strip club out of desperation.
"I go to the dark side but I find my way back," Felthous said of her character, whose name was changed so she could belt out the 1982 pop hit "Gloria." "My big number is a very musical theater thing with a lot of '80s 'voguing.' "
Like the movie, the musical is dance-heavy, and Felthous said many of her castmates are professional dancers, including some from Twyla Tharp's dance company.
"Everyone in our show is at the top of their field," she said. "Sometimes this life is really hard and I wonder why I'm doing it, but then there are moments like this when I'm surrounded by people at the height of their industry and I know it's all worth it."
Before joining "Flashdance" last fall, Felthous spent two years on the road with "Grease." She said touring is grueling on the mind and body but she enjoys shopping, trying local foods and going to music clubs in the cities she visits.
She said she's played a lot of the musical theater "blondes" over the years — a particular favorite was Ruby in "Dames at Sea" at Moonlight Amphitheatre in 2002 with her sister, Charna, and future Tony Award winner Christian Hoff — but the one role that has so far eluded her is Glinda in "Wicked." And she'd love to play Rapunzel if there's ever a musical version of the animated film "Tangled."

There are no products matching the selection.
I just wanted to let you know I picked up the Hoodies from the Post Office today (they arrived a few days ago, but I was on R&R). My staff LOVES them! We are the envy of supply and of most other departments on station. While they do not completely match what I was thinking I ordered, my crew feel they will do the job better than I had hoped for. Plus they look GREAT! Thank again for all your help and everyone else that made this order happen. If all goes well I will make another order around Oct of this year for next season."

Recent News and Developments
- February 2010: Papau New Guinea Girl Guides receive Kiwi VIP - Malum Nalu
- March 2006: From Papua New Guinea's leading daily newspaper, the Post-Courier: Technology using sunlight, aluminum foil and cardboard boxes could replace firewood as fuel for cooking, says RiftOil chief executive Jenni Lean. Mrs. Lean, the only female chief executive of an oil exploration company in the male dominated industry in the country, said she would like to introduce this simple technology to the women and children of Papua New Guinea so that it could save them time from collecting firewood. "As well as being hard on the environment, [use of firewood] means a lot of trees are cut down around Port Moresby which could otherwise provide shade and an environment for people and wildlife," she said. She would like to work with women's organizations such as the Girl Guides and others so that local people can make their own decisions as to their value and use in Papua New Guinea. Solar cookers are made of a cardboard box covered with aluminum foil and shaped so that sunlight reflects on a black pot with the food in it. Mrs. Lean said this should be inexpensive and useful for cooking when there is sunlight. "Even if they are only used [on sunny days], they should make women's and children's lives a bit easier here," she said. "They have been successfully introduced in Africa. Where people have easy access to the bush, they may not want to bother learning this new way of cooking, but where fuel is scarce, the motivation may well be there to make them work." She said she had cooked chicken and rice in her cooker using just the sun. Mrs. Lean was part of the senior management team that founded Austral Pacific Energy Ltd, a successful oil and gas company based in New Zealand.

The Bertie County School System says three students headed to a fundraiser Friday morning crashed a teachers car they were in and were all taken to the hospital.
The school system says the students were members of the Bertie STEM School, which stands for science, technology, engineering and math. They were on their way to West Bertie to deliver lunches as part of the fundraiser when the single vehicle accident happened on Mt. Olive Road.
All three students were taken to the hospital. School officials say they are not aware of their current condition at this time.
The school system is investigating and says it cannot release any further information at this time.

We all know Halloween is every girl's excuse to dress like a slut. Except the girls like to call it "sexy". There is nothing wrong with this and I do highly encourage it. However, it seems like the costume industry is running out of ideas for "sexy women's costumes" so they are expanding "sexy" to places they probably shouldn't be going.
Naughty cop, sexy maid, sexy nurse, sexy sailor, naughty sexy school girl, you get the idea… These all pass as part of the sexy Halloween trademark. However, I've compiled a list directly from Frightcatalog.com of costumes that seem to beg the question "what are they thinking?!"
6. Sexy Optimus Prime: OK, I can see "sexy" popping immediately into one's head when the word "transformers" is uttered. However, the brain would connect "sexy" to a certain "fox" rather than an "Optimus Prime"- but I guess everyone deserves a chance….
5. Sexy Chucky: When Child's Play came out I never thought I'd see the day that a sexy costume of the killer doll would be available in the future. That movie gave me nightmares for years and also resulted in mass dumpster visits of most of my dolls. I will say though, despite the trauma this movie caused me… in some sick way this costume turns me on. I kinda dig it. I want it. Kudos costume manufacturer for making this work.
4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…gone wild. I'm not sure how I feel about this one but something doesn't sit right with me. Rachel was supposed to be the babe amongst all the green. Perhaps this is another case of "fox" vs "transformers". I don't know. I guess I could go with it…especially if said Halloween slut wore those boots. mmmmm turtle power.
3. Brian… Family Guy: Now we are getting to the strange and unusual. Seriously, who came up with this? I think the real Brian would be offended. Or turned on perhaps. Or flattered. Never mind. I guess it could be worse…. sexy Stewie anyone? Maybe it's already in the works for Halloween 2011.
2. Sexy Big Bird? Now you've taken it too far! This is my childhood we are talking about. Anyone who could find anything sexy about big bird has got to have some childhood issues they haven't dealt with. I find this very disturbing… and believe me I am into some weird sh**. I mean hey….whatever tickles your pickle I guess. Who am I to judge.
Really? This is a real costume and the word "sexy" is used in the title. I want to make a joke about crabby patties or something but I really don't think I even have to.
There you have it- the top six strange sexy costumes according to your Halloween Harlot. What will they come out with next?

Night's King
this wiki
The Night's King is an unseen character in Game of Thrones, appearing only in the "The Histories & Lore: The History of the Night's Watch" featurette included in the Season 2 Blu-ray. He is a legendary figure known both in the Seven Kingdoms and among the Free Folk dwelling Beyond the Wall.
According to legend, the Night's King was originally a Lord Commander of the Night's Watch who found in the Haunted Forest a cold woman with bright blue eyes, seemingly a female White Walker. He took her to the other side of the Wall and declared himself "Night's King". For thirteen years the two ruled over the brothers of the Night's Watch, performing human sacrifices. The Free Folk rallied under the banner of a King-Beyond-the-Wall and marched against the Nightfort, which the Night's King had taken as his seat, defeating him with the aid of House Stark.[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Night's King was a Lord Commander of the Night's Watch during its earliest years, not long after the Long Night ended and the Wall was completed. He is considered a legendary, half-mythical figure, not far removed from Bran the Builder. If he really did exist, it was almost eight thousand years ago - consider that while the Night's King was the thirteenth Lord Commander, at the time of the War of the Five Kings, Jeor Mormont is the 997th Lord Commander.
However, the Night's King fell in love with a woman "with skin as white as the moon and eyes like blue stars"; he loved her though "her skin was cold as ice", and when he gave his seed to her he gave her his soul as well. He brought her to the Nightfort and bound the brothers of the Night's Watch to his will through sorcery. He declared himself "Night's King" and ruled over the Wall and the Gift as his own. The King in the North and Joramun, the King-Beyond-the-Wall, joined forces to defeat him.
After he was killed, it was discovered that he had been making human sacrifices to the Others - the White Walkers - and all records of him were destroyed, and uttering his name was forbidden, so it became lost to history. Nevertheless, it is believed he may have been a Bolton, a Magnar of Skagos, an Umber, a Flint, a Norrey, or a Woodfoot, though it is possible he may have actually been a Stark, brother to the King-in-the-North, named Bran.
After the defeat of the Night's King, the rule was enforced that the castles of the Night's Watch along the Wall should never be fortified against approach from the south, so that they cannot oppose the lands south of the Wall which they are meant to defend. The downfall of the Night's King also resulted in the strict enforcement of the rule that the Night's Watch is meant to be politically neutral, as guardians who do not "rule" the Wall but who serve the realms of men.

|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|October 2012
psychosocial burden
120 women attending reproductive health clinics will be interwied using HPV Impact Profile (HIP) and a socio-economic characteristics questionnaire.
economic burden
Medical records of 100 patients diagnosed with genital warts will be reviewed in the six BEMFAM's participating reproductive health clinics
Detailed Description:
Cervical cancer is a public health issue in Brazil. The Cancer National Institute estimates that cervical cancer will be the second most incident among women, with 18.430 new cases in 2010. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is related to cervical cancer and is also responsible for benign lesions, such as genital warts.The Brazilian Ministry of Health estimates the prevalence of genital warts to be 5,7% among pregnant women and 21,5% among women attending sexually transmitted infections treatment clinics.The study will measure the psychosocial burden of genital warts using HPV Impact Profile questionnaire and the economic burden of genital warts among women attending its six reproductive health clinics.
There are two study objectives:
1 - to measure the psychosocial burden of genital warts in women attending six reproductive health clinics in Brazil. 2- to measure the economic burden of genital warts treatment for women attending six reproductive health clinics in Brazil.
Hypothesis testing:
For objective 1, the experiment compare differences on psychosocial burden of Genital Warts among subgroups and therefore does not include any formal hypothesis testing about the psychosocial burden of the disease in agreement with the extant literature on the subject (Xingshu Zhu et al., 2009).
Objective 2 aims to measure differentials in the economic burden of the disease among subgroups with different type of genital warts (newly diagnosed, recurrent and resistant), site of the lesion, age, duration of treatment, number of medical visits, type and number of medical procedures. No formal hypothesis will be tested.

About Plasma Physics
The DPP/APS Meeting showcases cutting-edge research results in plasma physics.
Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma
Most of the matter with which we are familiar in everyday life exists in one of three states - solid, liquid, or gas. But much more of the matter in the universe exists in a fourth state known as plasma. Plasmas are collections of electrically charged particles such as electrons and protons.
Plasma Formation
A plasma is formed by breaking up the atoms and molecules in a gas. Stars are primarily composed of hot plasma. On Earth, plasmas are created by people every day when they turn on fluorescent light bulbs or plasma-screen TV's. Bolts of lightning are also comprised of plasma. In all these examples, the plasma emits light.
Plasma Applications
Plasmas are also used to inscribe the patterns in silicon from which computer chips and other electronics are made; and they are also at the heart of the most promising nuclear fusion devices that may someday lead to an abundance of cheap, clean, and safe power sources.
Plasma Physics ResearchMajor achievements in plasma research this year include
- Start of operations at the National Ignition Facility
- Laser-based fusion experiment at Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California
- Significant performance improvements in magnetically confined fusion experiments around the world
- New approaches in computer simulation and theory that dramatically reduce the time needed for particular calculations related to the acceleration of electrons in plasma arising from the interaction of the plasma with an intense laser or intense electron beam
- Generation of energetic heavy particles from the interaction of an intense laser with specially shaped targets

Bennet, D-Colo., said 141 veterans have told him the VA has been late in paying benefits under a half dozen education programs.
He sent a letter to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki about the delays.
"We're only going to have more student vets in the years ahead," Bennet told The Associated Press. "We don't want matters to get worse."
The VA said its employees are working overtime and weekends to process paperwork for veterans seeking education benefits.
"We regret any delays that may have occurred," the department said in a written release.
A panel of veterans that advises Bennet on veterans matters raised the issue. Bennet's office then sent questionnaires to veterans at about 20 Colorado colleges and universities in September asking about problems with benefits payments.
More than 260 responded. Of those, 168 said they experienced some sort of problem in getting education benefits, including the 141 who said their payments had been late.
Nearly 120 said their benefits had been at least 30 days late.
"One of the reasons that people join the military often is to pay for school," Bennet said. "I think we have a sacred promise to veterans to make sure their benefits are paid on time.
The programs the veterans cited included three versions of the GI Bill and programs for vocational rehabilitation, retraining assistance and help for survivors and dependents.
Separately, some veterans attending colleges in Colorado and elsewhere have reported problems in getting paid for the hours they put in as part of a work-study program.
The VA said in that case that its processing office in St. Louis had been slow in processing paychecks and work-study contracts because off vacant positions and an influx of veterans joining the program.
The department said it hired more workers and had reduced the processing time for paychecks.
The St. Louis office handles work-study time cards and contracts from 19 states, mostly in the Midwest.

Saiken (犀犬, Saiken), more commonly known as the Six-Tails (六尾, Rokubi), is a tailed beast sealed within Utakata of Kirigakure. It has been captured by Nagato in the anime, then extracted and sealed by Akatsuki. It was later resealed into a reincarnated Utakata during the Fourth Shinobi World War.[2]
Saiken first came into being in the waning days of the Sage of the Six Paths, who used his Creation of All Things ability to separate the Ten-Tails' chakra from its body and divide it into nine separate constructs that would come to be known as tailed beasts in order to ensure that it would never resurface after his death.[3][4] Some time after being created, the Sage sat down with all the young tailed beasts and told them that they would always be together, even when separated, and that one day they would become one entity again with different names and forms than they did. Then, when the time came, they would know what true power is.[5]
Saiken eventually fell into the possession of Kirigakure and was sealed into Utakata. In the anime, it was revealed that at some point before his appearance, Utakata's master, Harusame, tried and failed to remove Saiken from within Utakata, intending to save his student from being a living weapon for his village. Utakata, however, having not heard what his master had said to him, later came under the assumption after the incident that his master had tried to kill him. This failed removal resulted in Utakata transforming into Saiken and killing Harusame.
Though much has not been seen of Saiken's personality, the giant slug uses 'ore' (オレ) when referring to itself, 'ore' being a boastful way of saying 'I'. It also speaks with a dialect which may possibly be Ōsakaben in origin. In the anime, Saiken also seemed to be kinder and not as self-serving and malicious as most other tailed beasts, as when Utakata asked for its help to save Hotaru it seemed to willingly comply; and later it simply receded back into Utakata without trying to take him over.
Saiken resembles a large white, with a slight light blueish tint, bipedal slug with stubby arms and feet. It has two prominent optical tentacles (eyes) and hole-like openings as a mouth. Its entire body is covered in a slimy substance. During the last remaining days of the Sage of the Six Paths, Saiken was much smaller than its present-day self, but was still much larger than the Sage.[5]
See also: Jinchūriki Forms As a tailed beast, Saiken has a great amount of chakra and it is able to use it to create a Tailed Beast Ball. Saiken is able to emit corrosive substances that are extremely dangerous on contact in the form of a liquid or a gas, which was able to burn the skin of another tailed beast, such as Gyūki. The gaseous form was able to instantly disintegrate a tree that came into contact with it.[6]
Part II
Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc
Main article: Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc
In the anime, in an attempt to stop the Fury technique from causing untold destruction, Utakata goes into his full Six-Tails form to shield the blast. Ultimately Utakata is captured by Nagato and the Six-Tails was extracted from his body, being sealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Shinobi World War Arc
After Utakata's full transformation into Six-Tails, he attacks Kakashi and Guy, emitting a corrosive alkali from its mouth, which Kakashi warns Guy not to touch. After Guy dissipates the gas with his Morning Peacock technique, the Six-Tails prepares to attack him again. After Son Gokū is resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Tobi, who is intent on going all-out from this point on, forces remaining jinchūriki to transform into their respective tailed beasts.[7]
Preparing to attack the shinobi, Saiken along with the other four beasts create Tailed Beast Balls. These attacks however, are deflected by Naruto and they are rebuffed by a now fully-transformed Naruto. Wasting no time in their attacks, Saiken attempts to incapacitate Kurama by swallowing its arm rendering it immobile. The beast is however swung into Matatabi, sending them both flying away. With this, the opposing beasts prepare a collaborative Tailed Beast Ball which is met by one from Naruto and Kurama. As Naruto enters a deeper plain of the tailed beasts' consciousness, Saiken introduces itself to the young man. Later as the beast is freed from the chakra receiver it affirms Kurama's belief that Naruto was the person the Sage of the Six Paths had spoken about so long ago before being resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Ten-Tails Revival Arc
Saiken appeared alongside with the other tailed beasts with the exception of Gyūki when the Ten-Tails looked down at Naruto. The image of the tailed beasts, along with a a silhouette of the Sage of the Six Paths, drove the Ten-Tails to a fit as it evolved further.
Video Games
Although Saiken itself is not playable, Utakata takes on its form as his awakening in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3.
- 'Saiken' (犀犬) literally means 'rhinoceros dog', apparently a kind of Chinese yōkai.

Comments On Oct 23, 2012:Wow, get ready for some grip! I switched from the pillow tops to these. Racing hare scrambles it sometimes gets wet but I don't loose my grip anymore. They are large soft pads and help dampen handlebar vibrations. They also promote blisters more often if you don't use the better quality gloves. Only had two races on them so far, so can tell just how long they will last, but so far so good. FYI: I always safety wire my grips, yes even with the adhesive to the bar.

Typhoid fever is an infection that causes diarrhea and a rash. It is most commonly due to a type of bacterium called Salmonella typhi (S. typhi).
Enteric fever
S. typhi is spread through contaminated food, drink, or water. If you eat or drink something that is contaminated with the bacteria, the bacteria enter your body. They travel into your intestines, and then into your blood. The bacteria travel through the blood to your lymph nodes, gallbladder, liver, spleen, and other parts of the body.
Some persons become carriers of S. typhi and continue to release the bacteria in their stools for years, spreading the disease.
Typhoid fever is common in developing countries. Fewer than 400 cases are reported in the U.S. each year. Most cases in the U.S. are brought in from other countries where typhoid fever is common.
Early symptoms include fever, general ill-feeling, and abdominal pain. High fever (103°F, or 39.5°C) or higher and severe diarrhea occur as the disease gets worse.
Some people with typhoid fever develop a rash called "rose spots," which are small red spots on the abdomen and chest.
Other symptoms that occur include:
A complete blood count (CBC) will show a high number of white blood cells.
A blood culture during the first week of the fever can show S. typhi bacteria.
Other tests that can help diagnose this condition include:
Fluids and electrolytes may be given by IV (into a vein). Or you may be asked to drink uncontaminated water with electrolyte packets.
Antibiotics are given to kill the bacteria. There are increasing rates of antibiotic resistance throughout the world, so your health care provider will check current recommendations before choosing an antibiotic.
Symptoms usually improve in 2 to 4 weeks with treatment. The outcome is likely to be good with early treatment, but becomes poor if complications develop.
Symptoms may return if the treatment has not completely cured the infection.
Call your health care provider if:
A vaccine is recommended for travel outside of the U.S. to places where there is typhoid fever. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website has information about where typhoid fever is common. Ask your health care provider if you should bring electrolyte packets in case you get sick.
When traveling, drink only boiled or bottled water and eat well-cooked food.
Water treatment, waste disposal, and protecting the food supply from contamination are important public health measures. Carriers of typhoid must not be allowed to work as food handlers.

So after playing against some Crest files in Folrart, once using Dion control and another time using dolls, it's come to my realization what the problem of the Gowen sphere and the Crest tribe in general is:
Yes, they can hit you for terrible, terrible damage--but the issue is that they have to hit you first. And the issue with that is that neither sphere really has any agility control cards. Grand duke's private guard is some half-assed attempt at this for Crest, but just looking at him, you can tell that he's going to fail at that. Lawtia sort of has an answer to high-agility units via its undead type mechanics (EXCAK/Hellsmoke/Broken Virus), but Gowen, which was supposed to have been the sphere of "sacrifice defense for agility only exceeded by Falkow, and a crapton of damage" now feels like the slowest sphere in the game, with Lawtia rushes leaning on MD mobility (and maybe MD augment), EN using Fenrir, Eskatia, and Rats, Falkow being the masters of going first when it counts, and Refess regularly hitting agi 6 on one unit, and agi 4 with regularity.
Currently, Refess is getting agility control in the form of Amethyst Eater and Messalia, who is an obnoxious powercreep compared to dryad soldier might I add. It also makes me ask "why is Refess suddenly better at Gowen's schtick of hitting with high atk and agility when it's supposed to be the sphere of HP, defense, and healing"?
Furthermore, Gowen used to have some semblance of agility control with Jack, but that got scaled back from a start to an auto (why?).
Maybe both Gowen and Lawtia can benefit from such a card:
Level 3 Lawt/Gowen non-character, merc nation/mage soldier:
Atk 0
Range 1
Agility 3
Open skill: subtract 50 HP from a random unit of agi 4 or higher. 0 SP.
Rankup: Gowen 5: Atk+10
Start skill: conditional rank up: subtract Lawtia level x10 from target unit (read: friend or foe) of agi 4 or higher.
Auto skill: this unit gets atk +Lawtia level x10 for this turn
Long story short: using him in conjunction with the usual Gowen/Lawtia suspects (Bringer, dolls (character or not), Dilates) is a risky move if your opponent isn't too agility-dependent, and unlike old elite fencer, there's nothing possibly good that can come from it. Against slow strategies, he'll make a decent beatstick, but that's about as far as he goes. And unlike the old elite fencer, he doesn't have much agility support to actually make him increase his own agility. But he can set up some strategies that I don't think we see too much, such as Lawtia BKR, Lawtia Merc Nation, or using Gow/Lawt for anything besides going animus for a Gowen tribal with gaiessoul splash (which, considering his auto, would put the brakes on actually using Gaiessoul himself/herself to go "lawlz, removed, cya nubcake")
Basically, he's a risky tech unit that depends on your opponent walking into it, and beyond that, just a solid unit to set up some strategies that don't exactly set up all that quickly.
In fact, there's probably a merc nation card that gets completely underused (read: not used) at the moment which could be errata'd to become this guy.

Susie replies:
I would like to know if shallow penetration can get one pregnant, or does only deep penetration make one pregnant?
No, the penis does not have to penetrate far to result in pregnancy. There have been cases where pregnancies resulted with no penetration at all. All that needs to happen is sperm must get to the ovum (egg). Simply spilling fertile semen on the vulva can be enough to allow sperm to enter the woman's body. Once the sperm get inside, they can make their way up through the uterus and Fallopian tubes toward the ovum, and thus conception!
Therefore, if you intend to prevent pregnancy, the male needs to keep his penis covered with a condom during ALL genital contact. Pre-ejaculatory fluid can contain sperm, too, so it is important to keep all sexual fluids from exchanging during sexual play.

Africa (collection)
Baobab. Source: National Research Council.
Welcome to the Africa Collection!
This new collection is centered on the environmental, economic and social challenges faced by the people of Africa. The goal of this collection is to draw attention to the magnitude and complexity of the challenges faced by the African continent in general and each of the countries in particular.
The impact of these challenges goes beyond Africa which has one the world's widest environmental, economic, and social disparities between the countries.
The contributors to the African Collection are leading scientists and organizations both from within and outside Africa.
This collection is a work in progress and you are encouraged to visit this site on a regular basis to learn more about what is being done in each of the African countries. To help you learn about the challenges faced by each of the countries we have designed an interactive map – on the right hand side of this page – including basic information on every country in Africa and EoE articles published that relate to that particular country.
You can learn more about general African issues, the authors and content partners, and check answers to some frequently asked questions about Africa by visiting the pages below. You are also invited to contribute your expertise to the Encyclopedia of Earth's Africa collection or be a part of this collaborative effort by contacting Lakhdar Boukerrou or Arielle Conti.

Not sure I can say much about the map itself, but I don't think Bode's Law even properly applies to our solar system. It's really just a numerical coincidence.
This map (eventually a series of maps) comes as a byproduct of working on my entry for the May/June 2011 Lite Challenge ( http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...-Survey-Report ). As I was working on that map, a story started to take shape in my thoughts. That story, however, needed more space to develop properly, and, as it happens, there was more space to be had given that the initial map showed some of the details for only one star of a binary pair.
Now, Ill readily admit that Im no astrophysicist, nor am I a world class mathematician, so there is likely to be some unrealistic data involved in this series of maps. I have, however, done the best I can (probably just enough to make a fool of myself) in trying to be accurate in terms of the science.
The first glaring error in the science is likely to be the distance between the two stars in question. All I had to work with was an observed separation (epoch 2000.0, I believe) of 543 A.U.s. I didnt have any data on their orbital period, how close they came to one another or how far away they got from each other. Ultimately, I just started playing around with that initial number of 543, looking at it as a percentage of both their minimum and maximum distances from each other. I also kept in mind that I needed room for planets to develop around both stars. The suggestion here is that anything beyond 1/4th the minimum separation would be negatively affected by the opposing star. Once I settled on these numbers, I had to determine their orbital cycle. With nothing better to go on, I calculated that cycle as a function of the observed radial velocity for the system. Ultimately, the numbers looked like this;
Period : 851.21 years
Semi-major Axis : 604 A.U.
Periastron (Minimum) Distance : 302 A.U.
Apastron (Maximum) Distance : 906 A.U.
Year in which periastron occurs : 2365
Maximum Stable Orbital Distance : 75.5 A.U.
I have yet to work out the visual magnitudes for the stars at Periastron and Apastron, and Im not sure just how important that data will be in regards to the actual maps. Other data that was missing for these stars included Age and the Abundance of Heavy Elements, both of which would have an effect on the development of planets. For creative purposes, I fabricated these values such that they would fall in a reasonable range in terms of story development.
The next glaring error is most likely to be seen in the orbital distances of the planets around each of the stars. The problem here is that, from what Ive been able to garner, Bodes Law doesnt necessarily hold true for star systems other than our own, as evidenced by the discovery of several extra-solar planets. The other problem is that even if Bodes Law did hold true for other star systems, it would then suggest that the third planet of every system would be the one most suitable for supporting life of some sort. Personally, I found this to be a bit too boring and/or consistent. To that end, I fell back on Stargen to create some fundamental data in regards to the planets as far as Type (i.e. terrestrial, rock, gas giant, etc.), Atmospheres, and Orbital distances go. A lot of these numbers ended up getting tweaked here and there to get a balance between what the Law says, the powers of Random Chaos, and a sense of variety.
At this point, Ive laid out some basics for the first of this series of maps. It depicts the binary system at the point of Periastron. All sizes and distances are proportional to the cube root of their actual values. I havent laid in any of the planets just yet, but the stars and orbital markers are finished up and, for the time being, laid against a star field background generated in FTPro per Waldronates tutorial ( http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...actal-Terrains ) with a little bit of color added on my part. I hope to generate a nebula or two that I can add to the background just to give things a bit more flash. The next big push for this first map will be generating textures for the various orbital bodies and laying them in place.
As far as the story goes . . .
GWThis map is set some 48 years after the previous map. Captain Horatio Ellington has been drummed out of the Consortium Fleet for disobeying orders. He had been ordered to set a return course for Consortium controlled space, however, he pushed the envelope, so to speak, to survey one last system (LTT 7002). In the process, he and his crew discovered a planet suitable for colonization by mankind. To their surprise, that planet already hosted a sapient alien species, the first ever to be encountered. The Captain took it upon himself to establish communications with this alien species. As a result, he was stripped of his rank, and, for all intents and purposes, exiled. The crew of the Elysian, most of whom were loyal to the Captain, effectively mutinied, and have joined him in exile.
Over the course of time, the relationship between mankind (represented by Horatio and his crew) and the alien species has developed rather well. Of particular note in regards to the alien species is the following;
1 - They are not technologically oriented. They gravitate towards arts and crafts. To that end, in terms of technology, they might be described as being in a renaissance age at best.
2 - On a physiological level, they are far advanced when compared to mankind. Their immune system is exceptionally versatile, capable of handling new diseases with relative ease. In a similar fashion, they adapt to their environment in ways that go well beyond anything mankind has hoped to achieve through genetic alteration. This adaptability even goes so far as to allow for the potential of crossbreeding with other predominantly humanoid species. (I know, far-fetched, but it will serve well as a plot device.)
3 - They have demonstrated limited telepathic abilities. This typically takes the form of those who can Send only, and those who can Receive only. On very rare occasions, however, one who can both Send and Receive may be encountered. The range of this telepathic ability has yet to be tested in full, but it has been demonstrated at distances up to roughly 18000 Km. (Again, a bit far-fetched, but an absolutely needed plot device.)
Only recently has the former Captain learned of a dark part of this new worlds history. It seems that another alien species exists in the stellar neighborhood. To be more precise, they exist on a planet orbiting the companion star of the binary system. This second alien species is far more war-like in nature and much more technologically oriented. They have developed limited interstellar travel, but, to date, have reached no other worlds besides this particular one. At the last point of Periastron, they raided this world for slave labor and have plans to do so again as the two stars approach Peraistron once more. With limited resources (and no help from the Consortium who have effectively quarantined the region), Horatio, his crew and the native inhabitants of the world will have to find a way to defend themselves from an immanent invasion. (Ill have to work out a semi-viable reason why the second alien species hasnt further advanced their interstellar travel capabilities. Ill also have to work out a viable reason why they havent been detected before through radio transmissions.)

A pedestrian struck by a car and fatally wounded in a crash Friday evening has been identified.
Tony Brito, 59, of Colorado Springs was killed after state troopers say he walked in front of an oncoming car.
The driver of that car, 19-year-old Tatyana Christmas, was wearing a seat belt and was uninjured in the collision.
According to Colorado State Patrol, Brito was crossing Bradley Road at Cantrell Drive in Security when he crossed in front of Christmas' vehicle. Troopers are still investigating whether Brito was using drugs or drinking at the time of the accident.
Brito was taken to Memorial Hospital after the crash and died a short time later.

Varela headed in an equalizer in injury time to salvage a 2-2 draw for Portugal against the United States at the World Cup on Sunday and deny the Americans a spot in the second round.
Cristiano Ronaldo swung in a cross from the right and Varela thumped a header into the net to keep Portugal alive in the tournament.
Clint Dempsey had given the U.S. the lead when he used his stomach to direct the ball into the net from a cross by Graham Zusi in the 81st minute.
Jermaine Jones had equalized for the Americans earlier in the second half, after Nani gave Portugal an early lead.
A win would have put the U.S. into the second round, but it can still advance with at least a draw against Germany in the next game.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
A rock group whose members have an average age of about 60 is about to launch an international tour. One of the oldest coaches who just retired from professional basketball is being lured back by a prominent professional team. An aging football player with a potentially career-ending neck injury is now playing better than ever.
So what's the message for us mere mortals?
It's very simple. These professionals invest in themselves with physical therapists, nutritionists, and strength and conditioning coaches. They have made a commitment to maximizing the remaining years of their careers.
They also respect their limitations. They recognize they cannot travel as much as when they were younger. They need to be more mindful of rest and the impacts of jet lag, and they need to be mindful of managing stress within reason.
Obviously most of don't have access to this kind of support, but there is a lesson there that is important. We need guidance from professionals. We need to look after our health. We need to recognize our limits, of course, but we needn't close the door to new opportunities.

In this vein I always like to remind myself that the race does not go to the swift, but to those who keep on running.
As a middle-aged runner I work on building strength and endurance, and on being consistent with the habit of running. I'll probably never be fast. I try hard to avoid injuries.
But my goal is to be the last woman standing. Secretly I hope that I'll still be running in my 80s and maybe I'll actually win a race someday as one of the few participants in my age category.
I agree. We should know when or when not to drive a car, for instance, if it affects our health. We need healthcare consulting professionals to remind us of our diet and limitations. Best of all, we can only help ourselves if we really want to.
So true. At times it is hard to accept the fact I'm getting older. But it has made me more aware that I need to take better care of myself. I am trying to have the perspective of pampering my self in little ways like eating an extra apple a day, taking a little nap, trying new flavors added to my water, savoring the little moments of joy, counting my blessings and so much more. Thank you always for your uplifting posts.
When I suggest to my husband that he take it easy and realize his limitations, he says "I have no limitations." Perhaps this is good.
