Recent anomaly in climate conditions world wide implies that our planets atmosphere effect is been felt. Global warming serves as a rise in the typical temperature on the Earth surface; this maybe because of presence of more heat trapping gases across the Earth atmosphere. Mans? procedure for mitigate our planets atmosphere effect is cutting and capping emissions of heat trapping gases. Cutting emissions by promoting using materials that produce less emissions than traditional ones and capping emissions by planting & maintaining trees for continuous gaseous exchange with harmful gases as well as other safe practices in handling harmful gases that create climate change.

Safe your meals are necessary to human survival and will convey risks to health insurance even life itself. In the United States, as much as 81 million cases of foodborne diseases or over to 9000 deaths a year are already owing to food-related hazards. The estimated annual mortality of food and water-borne infections in developing countries comes from 2.2million deaths, mainly of infants and children. In the United States, the annual expense of foodborne diseases was estimated at US .6 billion annually, during England and Whales food poisoning was estimated at UK 0-700 million.

A diet full of vegetables and fruit offers the body with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to enhance the defense mechanisms and control invasion from disease. Antioxidants are vitamins, minerals and nutrients present in plants that bolster the body's defense mechanisms. How your body receives these nutrients is equally as crucial as the nutrients themselves. The best way to consume these valuable nutrients is from ones diet. Although occasionally supplementation is critical to realize the recommended daily allowance, research has shown how the body's benefit is greater when nutrients are received through food. When you eat antioxidant rich foods together, there is a synergistic affect on the entire body, enabling far greater benefit.
Microorganisms are vastly abundant and diverse inside the environment, but only a few minutes proportion may cause human disease. Essential questions that researchers are yet wanting to answer include: What induces a microbe to become pathogen? And which are the examples of separation from a good bug and also a bad (disease-causing) bug? For instance, Listeria monocytogenes is ubiquitous from the soil, where it lives off dead or decaying organic matter, e.g., plants. However, upon ingestion by vulnerable humans, the bacterium can perform transitioning in to a well-adapted parasite living inside cytosol of host cells. In fact, the virulence of L. monocytogenes arrives, partly, to its power to survive inside cells with the body's defence mechanism, then enter and reproduce within different cell types.

This quaint room sits on the street side of a tree lined street, where natural light filters in throughout most of the day. We are on the top (3rd floor, walk-up) of a lovely, family-owned brownstone which is located conveniently near numerous train lines (2,3,4,5,A,C, or Shuttle to the B,Q) - a short 20 minute commute to Manhattan.
I have enjoyed our vibrant, lively and fun neighborhood for more than 6 years. On the block you can find unique coffee & tea shops with wireless internet, fresh baked goods, friendly bodegas, a couple of bars and EXCELLENT food (Thai, Mexican, Chinese, etc.) and a laundromat on the corner. Just a couple blocks further in either direction you can find almost anything else: Japanese, Italian, Caribbean, West African, fresh juices, shopping, hair shops, fresh produce & grocery stores and so much more.
I am a lovely 10 minute walk from the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Children's Museum, Brooklyn Library, gorgeous Prospect Park, weekend farmer's market, and some great shops and local businesses.
Wireless internet and window fan available upon request.
I am known for being hospitable and also for being rather busy. While I work from home part-time in my room/home office, I also tend to keep rather random hours and travel frequently. Do not confuse this with being anti-social, it is only due to a large work load and full lifestyle :)
I ask that if you smoke, please smoke outside. I prefer to maintain a clean, peaceful, pet/animal free apartment. I ask that there are no unannounced guests or visitors and that guests are mindful of time in the bathroom since there is only one bathroom to share. Although I wont be changing your sheets everyday while you are here, I will make sure your room is clean, comfortable and fresh when you arrive.
Also, please be mindful that since I work from home I may be in my room working and on conference calls so I am not always available to chat but I of course dont mind answering any questions you may have or addressing concerns.
I am happy to share common spaces and amentities like the living room, cable tv and kitchen. Please be mindful of the shared spaces and maintaining cleanliness (guests are expected to wash their own dishes and wipe down counters after preparing meals). When using the stove I ask that you stay in the kitchen until you are finished cooking. I also prefer that guests do not sleep in the living room so that the space remains accesible to everyone at all times.
Because I share the building with another family it is important that guests make sure the front door to the building is completely closed (automatically locks when closed) and also guest are not advised to answer the door/let people in if you are not expecting any company. Thank you!

The very personal and often uncharitable criticism of Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin and her family evident in recent media coverage, and the lack of support from many feminist and child advocacy groups, may have a relationship to the collective grief, pain and guilt from personal involvement in the abortion of an unborn child.
When an issue strikes at a deeply repressed sensitive wound in a person, often the initial reaction is anger...

I'm a geologist and I use Audible books to while away long hours on the road... My pickup truck is my reading room!
"Devastating Indictment"
I think even the most passionate opponent of Operation Desert Freedom hoped that the Bush administration knew more than we did, or had thought things out deeper than we had, or had a plan we were not privy to. History has proven that none of that was true, and this book documents just how little preparation and thought preceded the military decision to invade.
This book is a case history in the folly of trying to impose cultural values at the point of a gun. Of course the U.S. government should have known this was folly - the British empire had demonstrated it in the same region 80 years before. But perhaps nobody in the administration had read David Fromkin's "A Peace to End All Peace".
Hopefully, both Fromkin's book and this one by Rajiv Chandrashekaran will be required reading for all future administrations.
Gives some wonderful crystal clear understanding of what went wrong so quickly with US efforts in Iraq after the overthrow of Hussein. You have direct quotation from Bremer and many others on the ground in the first days of the occupation, so this isn't a partison attack piece. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone with a curiosity as to why things went so poorly in the US efforts and for anyone interested in getting a flavor for what Iraq was really like in the opening days of the occupation.
I teach Business, Economics, and English at a university in Tokyo. My interests are in politics, economics, and philosophy. I hold a BA in English Literature, and an MA in Political Science.
"Too Judgemental"
I am not so sure this is the best book on Iraq. There have been some really good ones written. This one is perhaps one of the more damning. Too much is written with only the Iraqis and non-American perspective addressed. Ultimately this book misses a huge point...perspective. A foreign force of 130,000 is occuppying a country of nearly 27,000,000. There are vast cultural differences. In the historical perspective, the US military is doing an exceptional job...though the US administration is questionable. The attacks on the personnel on the ground and people in unifrom was a little too much. This is not a movie and it is not a video game. This is not occurring on a controlled set. This volume fails because it tries to make a case for a Hollywood style story, but the characters do not stick to the script.
You will be fascinated by this book. The best written current-events book I've come across in a long while, Imperial Life is almost a novel in its clear delineation and development of the characters of the Green Zone and the suspense building up to the debacle you already know will happen.
"Pure propaganda"
Pure propaganda, crap! Need a different viewpoint to get the real story. Indicative of the anti Bush administration.
"sad tale"
no wonder our country is in debt to the tune of 17 billion! great job Republicans.
"didn't get through it"
had a little trouble keeping my attention, thus I didn't always follow it. only listened to a few chapters before giving up
"Addition educational perspective on complex topic"
Easy listening & enjoyable no matter what your viewpoint.
Added more perspective to a subject that gets a lot of spin.
Worth the listen.
"Behind the scenes if the USA occupation authority"
It is incredible to find out about waste and cronyism that the Bush administration was responsible for doing the invasion and occupation of Iraq
"Good not great"
Good information and good narration story could have been more in depth and more epilogue would have been nice too

Misuse of national emblem: HC asks Home Ministry to respond
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the Union Home Ministry to apprise it of steps taken on a plea seeking prosecution of a scribe for allegedly misusing national emblem on business cards and letter heads.
"On previous occasion, you (MHA) had said that you will seek an instruction on our interim order. File a report on May 28," Justice Rajiv Shakdher said.
The court was hearing a plea of Rakesh Agarwal seeking a direction to the Home Ministry for initiation of prosecution against R S Sharma, a freelance journalist, for unauthorisedly misusing the national emblem on his business cards and letter heads.
The petition, filed through lawyer Pranav Sachdeva, alleged that the scribe has violated a provision of the State Emblem of India (Prohibition of Improper Use) Act.
The plea also sought a direction to the MHA to authorise an officer to deal with the grant of sanction to prosecute the persons, accused of misusing the national emblem.
Sharma, a Delhi-based freelance scribe who also claims to be an office-bearer in several organisations, fought the election for a post in NGO Nyaya Bhoomi. Agarwal was also a member to the NGO.
The scribe, after losing the election, communicated with Agarwal using the letter heads, carrying the national emblem on them, the petition said.
"No prosecution can be launched against Sharma under The State Emblem of India (Prohibition of Improper Use) Act punishable under Section 7(2) because the MHA has failed in its statutory duty to authorise an officer to grant sanction for the prosecution as required under the Act," the plea said.

I love the Buxom lip polishes. I have ever since I tried my first one. I liked many of the kit-exclusives from the previous lineup and was hopeful when the collection was revamped - but it looks like not all of them made the cut. Additionally, lots of the previous clues that we used to have about finish or opacity are gone. The "diamond" gals' artwork had visual clues to tell us that they were, in fact, sparkle-finishes, and the…
The pigment's a little clumpy when I apply it dry - but mix it with any medium and it goes on smooth and even.

We all know that good fats (essential fatty acids) help reduce cholesterol levels, but what most people don't know is how good cold pressed rapeseed oil really is. Take a look at the figures yourself...
Unlike other vegetable oils, cold pressed rapeseed oil contains a natural balance of omega 3, 6 and 9 oils, making it a great source for these essential fatty acids. 'Good oils' are essential in bodily functions, including aiding cholesterol reduction, and maintaining a healthy heart. Omega 3 also helps form the building blocks for brain and eye tissue development, and is therefore beneficial in the diets of young children. Whilst omega 6 can be found in several food sources, it is harder to include omega 3 in our diet. The high ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 that occurs in cold pressed rapeseed oil, helps redress this in-balance, and ensures optimum nutritional benefit.
Cold pressed rapeseed oil contains natural vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant. It also naturally protects the oil when heated, so along with the high smoke point of cold pressed rapeseed oil, it is an ideal high temperature cooking oil.
Duncan was approached by the Midland Co-operative to take part in their Taste of Local series and explains more about what we do and the benefits to you.

This review is from: SanDisk 32GB 32G Cruzer Extreme SDCZ80 USB 3.0 Flash Drive with Free Bonus USB Lanyard
Pros: What can I say. It's a flash drive. If it lasts then I think most people say it's great. This is actually my second purchase of this item and I have to say without bias that it has been a very pleasant purchase. It transfers lighting fast. And seems to have good durability.
Cons: I took one egg off because like most flash drives the accompanying lanyard is next to useless. Though I never recommend using a flash drive as a key chain. I believe most people would like to see better construction of these lanyards.READ FULL REVIEW

new here, when is the latest a cerclage is placed?

My doctor refused to do a cerclage after 22 weeks and had mine done at 21, 5. But doctors' opinions vary.
I was told by my doctor that 24 weeks was the latest they would put in a cerclage. They offered it to me at 23 weeks, but I declined because the risks are higher after 20 weeks. All the research I've done states that 24 weeks is the latest most doctors do cerclages.
Missing my angel babies - Angel 5/31/07 @ 20 weeks, Elena 9/30/09 @ 24 weeks, Nicolas 4/13/10 @ 20 weeks, and 2 miscarriages 9/08 & 7/10
They don't do them after 23 wks. It is good that you are not dialated and that they are keeping an eye on your length now. What was your length? (I am 24 wks and have a length of 2.7)
All my best,
(Emmas Mommy)
My cerclage was put in at 24 weeks with no complications, not even cramping or bleeding after that. My doc was not concerned about it being 24 weeks. He was routinely checking my cervix prior to 24 weeks, and the length was normal...But it was at 24 weeks check when my cervix got down to 1.5 cm and he placed a cerclage then. It looks like different doctors have different preferences.talk to your doctor about it and see if it is an option for you...if so, cerclage does work for many expecting moms..good luck.

After a report surfaced this morning, the Missouri athletic department confirmed Monday afternoon that junior tailback Damien Nash has left the team. After a disappointing season for the Tigers, losing next year's potential starter is not the way they had hoped to begin the off season.
"We certainly had hoped to have Damien with us next year, and while it's disappointing to see him go, we'll do everything we can to assist him with his future plans," coach Gary Pinkel said in a release. "He's indicated a desire to explore professional opportunities, and we will begin helping him with that process right now, as well as other potential options."
Nash told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Monday morning that he was leaving the team but declined to give an explanation. Once considered one of the best running backs to come out of the St. Louis area in years, Nash finished his Missouri career quietly, racking up just 62 yards on 24 carries in his final two games.
The season was an up and down one for Nash. After starting the year strong with 126 yards and two touchdowns against Arkansas State, Nash struggled to find consistency the rest of the way. After managing 89 yards on 18 carries against Oklahoma State on Oct. 23, Nash was suspended for the following game after he questioned the Tigers' play calling to the media.
After sitting out against Nebraska, he returned to tally 118 yards on 12 carries against Kansas State before faltering in the final two games of the season.
The emergence of freshman Marcus Woods against Iowa State on Saturday – Woods had 81 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, while Nash had 26 on 12 – may have brought Nash's starting role into question next season. Without Nash, sophomores-to-be Woods and Tony Temple, along with redshirt freshman Jimmy Jackson, will be in the mix for the starting job.

Posted on 09/28/2013 3:15:01 PM PDT by Innovative
Full title: " 'No children, happy to go extinct', tweets weatherman after grim climate-change report made him cry (now he's considering a vasectomy)"
A meteorologist who has covered weather for the Wall Street Journal tweeted that he has decided not to have children in order to leave a lighter carbon footprint, and is considering having a vasectomy.
He also vowed to stop flying after the world's recent climate-change report made him cry.
Eric Holthaus was reacting to the findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which released a report on Friday that found it was extremely likely that humans are causing warming trends seen in the last several decades.

"after grim climate-change report made him cry"
It may not be necessary, because first he would need to be a man and I believe that is in question.
Suicide would be more effective
Wow is that all it takes to get Libs to go full Darwin.
If the IPCC report makes him cry, just think what he'll do when someone tells him that his exhalations are also contributing to global warming!
Mankind thanks him for not passing on his stupidity genes.
Post of the day!
A vasectomy on this guy is redundant. Also, anticlimactic.
But by all means he should have a vasectomy...if the necessary electron microscope is covered by Obamacare.
My thoughts exactly.
We don't need any more idiot offspring from fools like this.
decided not to have children in order to leave a lighter carbon footprint, and is considering having a vasectomy.
I urge to get the vasectomy now, so you will never procreate... ever....
Lucky are people who live never knowing what these silly controversies are all about.
What a tool
Awesome! This man is doing a brave thing, the right thing.
Any liberal Democrat man who doesn't follow this man's lead is a selfish coward.
"Awesome! This man is doing a brave thing, the right thing.
Any liberal Democrat man who doesnt follow this mans lead is a selfish coward."
Excellent! I hope they all follow his example. :)
Idiots like this think that humans should not be on the Earth. They hate humanity.
Got news for them. Humans are every bit as natural on this Earth as seals and eagles. We are part of the environment.
Why not just live a celibate life?
Have at it, Eric! Happy snipping!

I agree. Less liberal weathermen on TV.
I wonder if progessives realize that if they don't procreate their won't be anymore of them.. The either abort or choose not to have kids..
"I wonder if progessives realize that if they dont procreate their wont be anymore of them.. "
Shhhh! Don't tell them! ;)
I forgot to add that they promote homosexuaality.. Not really a good way to procreate. Probably biggest reason why they need amnesty, they have killed their own base. Ironic thing is that christians are trying to save them from themselves.
All Liberals should follow his lead!
Exactly right, I applaud him for removing his obviously defective genes from the pool, if only more people like him would take similar action. I even know how to sell it to these liberal climate tards, market it as a preemptive abortion! They will line up for blocks!
Great idea! Might I suggest the proper tool would be a Craftsman weed eater? When properly applied it should the job nicely.
This is actually funny. Somebody should make a creative explanation of vasectomy, and tell him that he can save a ton of money by doing it himself.
All he needs is a small, strong, tight rubber band and a 5" serrated kitchen knife. Chew on a Bhut Jolokia pepper to distract him from any "discomfort".
i saw what you did there
It would be nice if all of the eco-wackos who believe in Glowbull Warming would spay and neuter themselves. Give Earth a chance!!!
Suicide would be more effective
I totally agree. If you are sooooo worried about CO2 destroying the planet JUST STOP BREATHING!
wow , this clown already had a lobotomy so who cares.
this confirms this is a religion .
another Rupert Murdoch employee in action .
love the comments at the daily mail.
the global scam is being fought overseas nw.
Wait till the Global Cooling starts in earnest...
(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.
The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.
Good luck surviving with no electricity and GE modified seeds.
Agreed. At least there's the chance he won't influence an innocent mind. Let him do it!
He also vowed to stop flying after the world's recent climate-change report made him cry.

incorrect. They simply turn all the energy they would have spent on their own children corrupting ours.
Why not just stop emitting CO2??

ATLANTA - Karen Monroe is just the type of smoker government health officials want to know more about.
The recent college graduate, sipping a beer at a baseball game, took a cigarette break with her friend. But she doesn't smoke every day and doesn't really consider herself a smoker.
''It's just when I drink,'' the 24-year-old said. ''It's not, like, all the time.''
Part-time smokers like Monroe are a fast-growing segment of the 23 percent of American adults who smoke.
A generation ago, people generally were daily smokers or nonsmokers. Researchers are finding a new group of smokers - occasional smokers who don't light up every day.
They say the likely reasons for the emergence of this smoking subgroup are more expensive cigarettes, tough indoor smoking bans and a growing social stigma against smoking.
But scientists still don't know that much about who the part-time smokers are and how to get them to quit for good.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta released an annual tobacco survey last month. The phone survey showed little change in the overall prevalence of adult smoking - about 23.4 percent - but it revealed a big change in the percentage of those smokers calling themselves part-time smokers.
Between 1996 and 2001, 38 states showed significant increases in ''some-day smokers,'' or people who said they smoked, but not every day. In Georgia, a 1996 survey showed that 14.8 percent of smokers said they smoked only some days. By 2001, that group grew to 25.8 percent of total smokers.
Other states showed huge increases, too. Arizona's percentage of part-time smokers jumped from 16.2 percent to 28 percent, Illinois went from 17.6 percent to 26.7 percent, and New York from 17.3 percent to 28.3 percent.
''We've seen a substantial increase,'' said Terry Pechacek, associate director for the CDC's Office of Smoking and Health. ''And yet we don't have any confirmed conclusions about why this is happening.''
The trend is troublesome to public health officials who have poured billions into anti-tobacco efforts, but are far from their goal of having only 12 percent of American adults smoking by 2010. Instead, the number of adult smokers is staying about the same, but they're smoking fewer cigarettes, Pechacek said.
Researchers aren't sure why consumption is going down, but they suspect the high price of cigarettes and indoor smoking bans are making it inconvenient to smoke as often.
''Years ago, occasional smoking was overlooked,'' said Joel London, a spokesman for the CDC smoking office. ''Now we're seeing a big trend of people decreasing the amount they smoke rather than quitting completely.''
Cigarette makers have noticed the trend. R.J. Reynolds, maker of Camel cigarettes, has introduced a new line of high-end flavored cigarettes. The Camel Exotic Blends come in flavors such as vanilla, citrus and chocolate mint - cigarettes not intended for pack-a-day consumption, but to be smoked with an after-dinner drink or dessert.
''Smoking is becoming almost a time-out activity,'' said Camel spokeswoman Ellen Matthews. ''We wanted to give them opportunities to try different options on that. Occasional smokers are looking for something premium.''
The changing smoking habit gives researchers a new problem. Are these part-time smokers former daily smokers, meaning their new smoking habits are a good development? Or are these part-time smokers young people who have heard so many anti-tobacco messages that they don't like considering themselves ''real'' smokers?
''We don't know if we're looking at heavy smokers cutting back, or if this is a new kind of smoker,'' said Danny McGoldrick, research director for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. ''All our evidence is pretty anecdotal. We don't know.''
Back at the baseball game, 25-year-old Craig Nettles said he used to smoke daily and managed to quit - except when he drinks alcohol. He has gone from 10 cigarettes a day to 10 cigarettes a week.
''I know it's bad for me,'' said Nettles, who is from Atlanta. ''I think I'll quit, but right now I'm cutting back.''
The CDC is worried about smokers like Nettles, citing studies that show dubious health benefits from smoking less but not quitting.
A 16-year study of thousands of European smokers found that daily smokers who cut their cigarette consumption by at least half were just as likely as their heavy-smoking counterparts to develop tobacco-related disease. Doctors also warn that smokers who cut back unconsciously inhale more deeply, meaning their exposure to carcinogens doesn't go down.
''We need to be careful about saying you're better off by smoking fewer cigarettes. We just don't have the science to show that,'' McGoldrick said. ''We've got to send the message that there's no safe alternative to quitting.''
Scientists also want to map a strategy to keep young part-time smokers from becoming daily smokers.
''In some of our focus group research, we are seeing college-age adults who, even though they consider themselves nonsmokers, they do have an occasional cigarette or cigar,'' London said. ''That's a concern. We want to do more research to understand that.''
''The message needs to be, there's no safe amount of cigarettes that one could smoke.''

With four teams in the Soccer America Women's Top 25 -- No. 7 Texas, No. 12 Texas A&M, No. 16 Oklahoma State and No. 19 Kansas -- and two teams on the edge -- Colorado and Missouri -- the Big 12 is one of the strongest women's conferences in the country. Big 12 teams have winning records against teams from such powerful conferences as the ACC (2-1-0), Big East (3-1-0), SEC (5-4-1) and WCC (3-0-0). Conference play begins in earnest Friday with Texas hosting Texas A&M before what could be a record Longhorn crowd.
OKLAHOMA STATE (8-0-0).One of four remaining unbeaten and untied DI1 women's teams. Coach Colin Carmichael is cautiously optimistic, saying the Cowgirls still don't know how good they are. "Without question, it's the most talented team we've had here," he said. "But once we start playing on Friday and Sunday in the Big 12, our depth and our defense will be tested a little bit more."
TEXAS (7-0-1).The Longhorns are off to their best start in program history. They are one of the most experienced teams in the country with Dianna Pfenninger in goal, All-American defenders Kasey Moore andCourtney Gaines and midfielder Courtney Gaines, all seniors.
TEXAS A&M (7-1-0). The Aggies' only loss was to North Carolina four weeks ago. Since then, they're 5-0-0. Sophomore Kelly Dyer has been outstanding in goal for injured Kristin Arnold, one of A&M's three U.S. U-20s.
COLORADO (7-1-0). The Buffaloes have won seven in a row after opening with a 1-0 loss to Denver. Junior Nikki Marshall, who plays defense on the U.S. under-20 women's national team, is one goal away from tying the school's all-time goal scoring record held up Katie Griffin (31 goals).
KANSAS (6-2-0). KU is just three goals away from matching its offensive output (23) for all of 2007. Freshman Emily Cressy leads the Jayhawks with five goals.
MISSOURI (5-2-0). The Tigers take a five-game winning streak into their Big 12 opener. Scoring has been a collective effort. The Tigers' 12 goals this season have come from 10 different players
TEXAS TECH (5-2-1).Through eight matches, the Red Raiders have netted 25 goals, which is already higher than their 2007 total of 22. With her Big 12-leading fourth shutout of the season against Oral Roberts, goalkeeper Tina Rincon became the new Tech all-time leader in career shutouts (12).
NEBRASKA (4-4-1).After starting the season with four consecutive losses, the Cornhuskers enter conference play undefeated in their last five matches. Junior Shay Powell leads the team with five goals.
BAYLOR (4-4-0). Except in a 10-1 win over Prairie View A&M, scoring has been a problem for Baylor. All four Bears' losses were by shutout.
IOWA STATE (4-4-0). First-year coach Wendy Dillinger arrived from Division III Washington University (Mo.), where she won or shared four conference titles in six years. Sophomore Jordan Bishop's five assists put her tied for second in assists in the Big 12.
OKLAHOMA (1-7-0).The Sooners are under the guidance of first-year head coach Nicole Nelson, whose only victory was a 2-1 win over Ball State.

I must admit I was worried that the departure of guitarist John Neff was going to leave a noticeable void in the sound of the Drive-By Truckers last Friday night at the Boulder Theater (Neff split in December of last year). His pedal steel was always on time amidst the guitar-heavy DBT shows, a near perfect "icing on the cake," if you will.
Over the years, many great bands have played the stage at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville, AR. And many of them have played in Fayetteville year after year. One of those bands is Elephant Revival. If you haven't seen this band before, just go. I promise you won't regret it.
Festivaaal! Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass giants, Leftover Salmon brought the sauce to Fort Collins' Aggie Theater this April.
Out of the resurging Bluegrass Music movement one of the most seasoned vets around is Jeff Austin. The mandolin-man of Yonder Mountain String Band built his following beside his band-mates based upon a loyal fanbase and always keeping it interesting for them. Yonder lives for their fans, and have made their mark in the community.
Before the band even takes the stage, the energy at "the rock show" is palpable: Whiskey and flannel, talks of SEC football, and sweet sweet accents. It's the closest to the south you'll get on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado.
A common misconception about funk music is that the style is all nostalgia and not contemporary. Many of the founders of the form are still performing today such as George Clinton, George Porter Jr., Leo Nocentelli, or Art Neville.
Indie supergroup Mister Heavenly released one of the most underrated albums of 2011, and if we're lucky, they just might do it again this year.
Rockin' Americana stringband, Eric Lambert & Friends (ELF), featuring acclaimed guitarist Eric Lambert, along with Dan Rogers on bass, and Pat Fiddle on mandolin and fiddle, will be performing live at a Chicago suburban historical landmark on Saturday, April 20. ELF debuts at Two Brothers Roundhouse, located at 205 N. Broadway Street in Aurora, IL, performing three hours of music, beginning at 9 pm.
Recently I had the special opportunity to see the legendary Toots and the Maytals, just a couple of blocks from my house at the Fox Theater in Boulder CO. My work thus far with Grateful Web has been mostly reviewing jam-bands, taking notes on their instrumentation, and reporting commendable jams.
When Lotus comes to Boulder, Colorado, the streets are just a bit more abuzz. People standing in front of the Boulder Theater are giving off a charge of excitement, and there's a stimulating, magnetic sense in the air that tells us of what's to come.

Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that the challenges are optional... you shouldn't feel compelled to do them. If you are too busy, you don't have to do them. I understand completely. I don't want this pastime to feel like a job to anyone so if you cannot do a challenge, please don't feel down or anything. It's fine. We're here to have fun and I'm not interested in making anyone not have fun. I am open to suggestions for the club at all times (by PM if you'd prefer), so just keep that in mind. Please everyone, remember that this is fun. I apologize to all of you if I have pressured anyone into challenges and I will look towards a future will I will keep a closer eye on things like that.
Good luck and ultimately, have fun, because that's what this club is all about -- fun.
Catch rate 3 only? So...for Kyogre, you don't have to do so (its catch rate is 5)? Well, I think I still have to do so. Most legendary Pokemon are a pain in the neck...especially Roaming Legendary Pokemon! And anyways, Legendary Pokemon are pretty much powerful and the Master Ball suits their power...
And about RNG abuse...I understand the basics to doing Wild Pokemon RNG Abuse. It looks simple, but I could never do it right. The reason? Delays. Well, I kinda understand how to operate the timer now, but what you said about letting the timer update itself by inserting the delay you hit instead of the delay you were supposed to hit just got me a problem. How would you identify the delay you hit? If you use the Seed from Stats thing, well, it works...but it's a bit hard. You'd have to go to a location where you can easily catch a Level 50 and more Pokemon...it's hard to do so and I don't like using an AR. And also...in the Hours and Minutes part of the Seed from Stats thing, you'd put the time you started the game (or soft reset the game) into the Hours and Minutes part, right?

Ear plugged and ringing... help!
Got diagnosed with strep on Monday. Developed a terrible earache on Tuesday, which let up when I took some Advil, but then it plugged. It's ringing VERY loudly, clogged, and I can barely hear out of it. Help! What do I do? [more inside]
Whose ears popped first?
I know why our ears pop, but I'm wondering when humans reliably began experiencing this sensation caused by anything other than having a cold. Today, we are most likely to feel our ears popping in a airplane or driving a car in the mountains. But before planes and cars, and besides the head colds and infected sinuses that have always been with us, what caused our ears to pop first? [more inside]

Super human? Ear sucks?
This thread reminded me of my Crazy Ears. I've always wondered if mine are broken or if I'm some kind of superhero. My ability: I can cause them to pop at will, without moving anything else in my head. And then things I think are Bad. [more inside]
Pop goes... my ear.
My ears keep popping... like when you are in an airplane... except I'm not going anywhere. [more inside]
Ear popping sucks.
I have read that airplane cabin pressures are regulated to match the pressure at about 8000 ft. Why is the pressure not regulated to approximate ground level conditions? [more inside]

Robert Reich: Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic base that's been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that.
Turning Moments into Movements

State of the Union Address 2011 – Full Video and Transcript
You can watch President Obama's State of the Union Address, in its entirety and read the full transcript here. The president began by introducing the Speaker of the House, John Boehner. He then went on to talk about the tragedy in Tucson, pointing out that Representative Gabrielle Giffords' seat was empty. The hour long video offers insight into what we're to expect in the coming year.
Civility and Political Discourse after the Tucson Shooting
Walter Moss: President Obama has often been criticized for being too ready to compromise or for not displaying enough political passion for just causes. No doubt, he has not always perfectly calibrated the right mix of passion and compromise. But there is also no doubt, at least in my mind, that he is correct in calling for more civility in politics.
Jan Brewer, the Sarah Palin of the Desert
Mario Solis-Marich: Jan Brewer is a lousy Governor. Any objective view of her performance to date indicates that Jan Brewer is the Sarah Palin of the Desert.
Arizona Students Arrested for Protesting Police State
Mario Solis-Marich: The arrests led to even more unrest as supporters of the incarcerated youth turned up at the jail and demanded their release. Today passions remain strong as young Latino activists commit to continue to hit the streets demanding national leadership on the immigration issue and a veto of the Arizona State Bill 1070.
Cola Wars and the Campaign to Sell Wall Street Status Quo
Tina Dupuy: Health care reform is a far cry from government taking over anything. In the town halls over the summer people were upset by the idea, so with some encouragement and coaching by interest groups they came out to make that known. As the saying goes, feelings are not facts and in the health care debate the latter beat the snot out of the former. In the end we're a sick nation that pays more than any other country for health care and we still rate low in quality of care. The bill that passed is an improvement not a cure-all and certainly not enough to trigger the end of the world or even cause an unpronounceable Icelandic volcano to erupt.

The following is taken from a somewhat exaggerated and tongue-in-cheek but nevertheless sincere and truthful web posting I had submitted elswewhere. Thought I'd share it with y'all!
We all like to think of Nintendo as that happy-go-lucky, "We're all about fun" family friendly video game company. And in many ways, they are exactly that. But underneath their modest exterior lies a bloodthirsty corporate predator, with the desire to smash competitors in their way! The last couple of years has convinced me this is true.
Even before it was released, it was more than obvious that the DS was developed as a defense against the oncoming onslaught of the PSP. But as they say, the best defense is a good offense, and good lord is the DS a good offense! It took advantage of every weakness the PSP had: it got the head start in holiday season '04, beat the PSP to the punch with handhelds' first 3D graphics, shied away from a disc format (which, for the time being at least, Nintendo knew was not the ideal format for a handheld) and made sure to provide features the PSP could never duplicate: having two screens and a touch screen, and the software to take advantage of it. All this for a price significantly less than what Sony was asking for. Of course, the DS is now steamrolling the PSP, and Nintendo just smiles coyly and goes about its merry way.
The DS wasn't just a survival tactic to keep Nintendo from getting muscled out of the handheld business, it was designed to KILL the PSP. Now I realize that despite everything the PSP is still experiencing steady sales, but I honestly believe that because of the DS Sony's future in the handheld sector is in jeopardy. Can you imagine a PSP 2? What it would it do? Would it feature better graphics? A wider screen? A format with more memory? But the PSP has proven these features to be worthless in the fight against Nintendo. Sony would have to completely go back to the drawing board in order to gain ground, and with their attention needing focus elsewhere, I can see them squeezing all they can from the PSP and discontinue the line.
And speaking of "elsewhere" that Sony needs to focus on, we come to the console front. Again, Nintendo plays coy, and seeing how modest the Wii is compared to its competitors, it's easy to believe them. But again, it's all a facade as the Wii is carefully fine-tuned by Nintendo to take advantage of every fathomable weakness the PlayStation 3 could have. PS3 is expensive, so Wii is cheap. PS3 risks it all with Blu-Ray, so Wii sticks with proven DVDs. PS3 is big and bulky, so Wii is small and streamlined. The PS3 is presented as powerful and intimidating, so the Wii is presented as fun and inviting. Where PS3 keeps the controller the same, the Wii makes it spectacularly unique. The two consoles could not be more different. The Wii is the Anti-PlayStation.
Nintendo's true predatory nature came rearing its head when it became apparent that Sony was going to have shipment problems and that a media backlash against them was gaining steam. The original plan was to release ahead of the PS3 and get a head start, but Nintendo decided to Go. For. The. Jugular. Releasing the Wii on the same weekend of (and two days after) PS3 forced 'head-to-head' stories into the media, and when Sony had a nightmare launch and Nintendo had a smooth one, the media couldn't resist the "Nintendo Wins, Sony Loses" stories. The PS3's launch could've mearly been 'poor' but because of Nintendo's shrewd scheduling Sony's launch became disasterous. Nintendo's sales numbers are impressive, but that's nothing to the amount of *mindshare* the company has received. They've dealt Sony a devastating first-round blow that may cripple Sony the entire generation.
And moreover, Nintendo very deliberately may have rendered Sony's business model obsolete. Can you imagine a PlayStation 4? What will it offer? Will it have better graphics? A new format with more storage? It looks as if these features will once again be proven worthless in the fight against Nintendo, and don't for a moment believe Nintendo didn't plan this out. I'm convinced the Wii was designed to KILL the PlayStation 3.
I would be very frightened of having to deal with a company like Nintendo. They've beaten every company that's come up against them and when Sony did arrive and muscled their way into the market, Nintendo went into survival mode with the GameCube, regrouped and returned as a force to be reckoned with. And the entire time they humbly stand there, smiling, proclaiming, "We are not in direct competition," all the while discreetly whiping the blood of their enemies from the corner of their lips.
Nintendo is Ruthless!

Two-dimensional wave propagation in an elastic half-space with quadratic nonlinearity: A numerical study125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3075597View Description Hide Description
This study investigates two-dimensional wave propagation in an elastic half-space with quadratic nonlinearity. The problem is formulated as a hyperbolic system of conservation laws, which is solved numerically using a semi-discrete central scheme. These numerical results are then analyzed in the frequency domain to interpret the nonlinear effects, specifically the excitation of higher-order harmonics. To quantify and compare the nonlinearity of different materials, a new parameter is introduced, which is similar to the acoustic nonlinearity parameter for one-dimensional longitudinal waves. By using this new parameter, it is found that the nonlinear effects of a material depend on the point of observation in the half-space, both the angle and the distance to the excitation source. Furthermore it is illustrated that the third-order elastic constants have a linear effect on the acoustic nonlinearity of a material.
Nonlinear nonclassical elasticity applied to the analysis of low frequency flexural vibrations: Theory and experiments125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3075595View Description Hide Description
Motivated by the increasing interest on nonlinear nondestructive damage detection, a comparison of the nonlinear elastic behavior of damaged samples and their intact state is presented. Flexural vibration is induced in thin glass plates with laser thermal shock induced micro-cracks by means of two thin piezo-ceramic patches glued in a bimorph configuration. The cases of direct excitation of a resonance and excitation of an internal resonance cases are considered. The resulting nonlinear vibrations exhibit the main features of quadratic hysteresis: linear variation of the resonance frequency and quadratic production of the third harmonic. A theoretical model for nonlinear resonant flexural vibrations based on the Preisach–Mayergoyz constitutive relations is proposed for damage quantification. Experimental comparison between the intact and damaged sample indicates an increase in the relevant nonlinearity parameter, indicating a widening of the hysteresis loop due to damage.
Nonlinear frequency shifts in acoustical resonators with varying cross sections125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3075585View Description Hide Description
The frequency response and nonlinear resonance frequency shift of an acoustical resonator with losses and having a varying cross section were investigated previously using Lagrangian mechanics and perturbation for resonator shapes that are close to cylindrical [M. F. Hamilton, et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am.110, 109–119 (2001)]. The same approach is extended here to include resonators having any shape for which the Webster horn equation is a valid model in the linear approximation. Admissible shapes include cones and bulbs proposed for acoustical compressors. The approach is appropriate for approximate but rapid parameter estimations for resonators with complicated shapes, requiring far less computation time than for direct numerical solution of the one-dimensional modelequation frequently used for such resonators [Ilinskii et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am.104, 2664–2674 (1998)]. Results for cone and bulb shaped resonators with losses are compared with results from the direct numerical solution. The direction of the resonance frequency shift is determined by the efficiency of second-harmonic generation in modes having natural frequencies below versus above the frequency of the second harmonic, and how the net effect of this coupling compares with the frequency shifts due to cubic nonlinearity and static deformation.
Acoustic microstreaming around an isolated encapsulated microbubble125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3075552View Description Hide Description
An analytical theory has been developed to calculate microstreaming velocity inside and outside an encapsulated microbubble (EMB) in a viscousliquid produced by its oscillations driven by an ultrasound field, taking account of two predominant modes of the EMB's motion: a monopole (pulsation) and a dipole (translational harmonic vibrations). Analytical expressions of radial as well as tangential stresses are derived near the shell of the EMB. Numerical calculations in parameter regimes applicable to sonoporation are presented. For the calculation the following parameters unless specified otherwise are used: , , , , , , , , , , and . The calculated results show that the streaming velocity and stresses near an EMB are functions of the mechanical properties of shell and gas. Overall, the streaming velocity and stresses for an EMB are found to be greater than those for a similar size free bubble under the same ultrasound excitation. This finding is consistent with the existing theory of acoustic streaming of an oscillating bubble near a boundary given by Nyborg (1958) [J. Acoust. Soc. Am.30, 329–339].
Model of coupled pulsation and translation of a gas bubble and rigid particle125(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3077216View Description Hide Description
A model of the interaction of a spherical gas bubble and a rigid spherical particle is derived as a coupled system of second-order differential equations using Lagrangian mechanics. The model accounts for pulsation and translation of the bubble as well as translation of the particle in an infinite, incompressible liquid. The model derived here is accurate to order , where is a characteristic radius and is the separation distance between the bubble and particle. This order is the minimum accuracy required to account for the interaction of the bubble and particle. Dependence on the size and density of the particle is demonstrated through numerical integration of the dynamical equations for both the free and forced response of the system. Numerical results are presented for models accurate to orders higher than to demonstrate the consequences of truncating the equations at order .

WASHINGTON (AP) - Republicans are laboring under a tight self-imposed deadline to sculpt a $792 billion tax-cut compromise that can clear the House and Senate by week's end and set the stage for a fall veto showdown with the White House.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., and Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., gave fellow Republicans only until Tuesday to resolve differences between bills passed by the House and the Senate.
With the hurry-up compromise effort scarcely under way, Lott criticized President Clinton for opposing the measure.
"We should reduce taxes with the largest middle-class tax cut since Ronald Reagan was president," Lott said in Saturday's weekly GOP radio address. "Yes, we should trust the American people to wisely spend, or save, their earnings. And of course, we aren't going to imperil Medicare or Social Security or any other essential federal program in the process."
Republican aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the hope of the leadership is that rank-and-file lawmakers will use a month-long August break to trumpet the virtues of tax cuts to their constituents.
But the legislation won't go to the White House until after Labor Day to deny Clinton the opportunity for a widely publicized veto ceremony when Congress is not in session.
Given the compressed timetable that Republicans have set for themselves, it will fall to Hastert and Lott to prod key lawmakers to close the deal. The major decision will be to reconcile the bills' provisions for broad-based tax relief.
The House bill provides for a 10-percent across-the-board cut, phased in gradually. The Senate bill cuts the current 15 percent tax bracket to 14 percent in 2001. Beginning in 2006, it gradually shifts some income currently taxed at 28 percent into the lower bracket.
Most conservatives favor the across-the-board approach, and Lott was supportive when other Republicans sought unsuccessfully to insert it into the Senate bill.
"There's a lot of support for that," he told reporters Friday. "That is the fairest."
But the across-the-board approach made it through the House only after Hastert and the leadership agreed to condition the tax-rate decline on annual reductions in interest due on the national debt.
There are numerous other differences between the two bills, including, for example, competing proposals for reducing capital gains taxes and varying lists of provisions inserted at the behest of individual lawmakers.
With narrow voting margins in both the House and Senate, Republican leaders will have little margin for error as they produce a compromise. But the price of failure will be high.
Several Republicans, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the GOP hopes to build public support for the measure during the planned August break to fortify the party for the veto struggle that lies ahead.
Most Democrats opposed the Senate bill, as was the case in the House, and Clinton sharply attacked the measure shortly after the Senate approved it.
"The Republican tax cut is so large it would undo our fiscal discipline and imperil our prosperity," he said in a written statement. "It would crowd out our commitments to pay down the debt, to save Social Security and to strengthen and modernize Medicare with a long-overdue prescription drug benefit."
In addition, he said it would "demand drastic cuts in defense, education, law enforcement, agriculture and the environment."
Lott disputed the claims in his radio address, as did Republicans in three days of debate on the Senate floor.
Those competing positions are expected to produce a veto confrontation that lasts into the fall, possibly expanding to include spending measures that are making their way slowly through Congress.
