Dogbert says, "Maybe something Siamese."
Monday March 09,
Dilbert arrives at home carrying a briefcase. Dilbert asks, "How was your day, Dogbert?" Dogbert sniffs the air and asks, "Hey! What's that smell?" Dogbert smells Dilbert's hand and says, "Just as I suspected - you stopped to pet the neighbor's cat!" Dilbert says, "It meant nothing. It was more of a pat than a pet."

Tuesday March 10,

Thursday March 12,

Saturday March 14,
Dilbert says, "The defense calls Fuzzy the Cat." Fuzzy sits in the witness stand. Dilbert asks Fuzzy, "Isn't it true that I did not in fact PET you, but only pushed you away in mild disgust when you rubbed my leg?" Fuzzy replies, "I have this sudden urge to bury you in pine-scented sand."
Monday October 12,

Tuesday January 26,
Dilbert tosses a Frisbee and says, "Get it, Dogbert!" Dogbert fires a gun and shoots the Frisbee. Dilbert looks at Dogbert, who is holding a rifle, and says, "Maybe I should just get a cat." Dogbert replies, "Good idea, but they're harder to throw."
Tuesday September 13,

Picture: Fernanda Romero arrives to the 3rd Annual Midnight GRAMMY Brunch hosted by Ne-Yo at the W Hollywood Hotel & Residences Hollywood, California - 30.01.10
Mexican actress Fernanda Romero has been arrested in Los Angeles for marriage fraud amid allegations she paid an American man to help her become a U.S. citizen.
The 28 year old, who had a small role in 2009 horror movie Drag Me to Hell, was taken into custody along with her 'husband' Kent Ross on Friday (16Apr10).
An official for the U.S. attorney's office claims the couple lied about living together prior to their union in 2005 and submitted fake documents with her green card application.
Romero was caught out after she reportedly began dating a fashion photographer just a month after wedding Ross, 28. Investigators claim she later moved in with her new lover.

DAILYKENN.com -- It's too late for Omar Wilfredo Reyes.
The 19-year-old was murdered execution style on Jan. 3, 2016.
His alleged killers are teens from El Salvador with ties to the notorious MS-13 gang.
Jose Vasquez Ardon and Cristian Nunez-Flores are accused of the crime. Both are 17 years old, both are from El Salvador, and both entered the country as illegal aliens about 18 months ago when Obama effectively opened the borders to minors called Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC).
One must wonder how two teens — then 15 years old — would make the trek from El Salvador to Massachusetts where the murder was committed.
According to JudicialWatch.org, members of Congress also have questions.
• MS-13 is a feared street gang of mostly Central American illegal immigrants that's spread throughout the U.S. and is renowned for drug distribution, murder, rape, robbery, home invasions, kidnappings, vandalism and other violent crimes.
• Homeland Security sources directly involved with the UAC crisis told JW that street gangs, including MS-13, went on a recruiting frenzy at U.S. shelters housing the illegal alien minors and they used Red Cross phones to communicate.
• The Justice Department's National Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC) says criminal street gangs like the MS-13 are responsible for the majority of violent crimes in the U.S. and are the primary distributors of most illicit drugs.
• Just a few weeks ago dozens of MS-13 members were indicted in Boston for serious crimes including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, drug trafficking, firearm violations, federal racketeering and immigration offenses.
• Several of the defendants are responsible for murdering at least five people since 2014 and the attempted murder of at least 14 in Chelsea and East Boston, according to the federal indictment.
• MS-13 members also sell cocaine, heroin and marijuana and commit robberies to generate income to pay monthly dues to incarcerated gang leadership in El Salvador, federal prosecutors say. The money is used to pay for weapons, cell phones, shoes, food and other supplies for MS-13 thugs in and out of jail in El Salvador.
• [T]wo federal lawmakers—a senator and a congressman—are demanding answers from the administration involving how the teens entered the U.S. Specifically, they want to confirm if the gangbangers came as UACs and when exactly they arrived. The legislators, Senator Chuck Grassley, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Congressman Bob Goodlatte, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, also want to know if the administration had knowledge about the suspects' ties with a criminal gang.
"Please provide a complete copy of the alien file for Jose Vasquez Ardon and Cristian Nunez-Flores," the lawmakers state in a letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Health and Human Services (HHS), the agency that's mostly handled the barrage of UACs and the relocation process. "Please provide any other information collected or maintained by DHS and HHS regarding either Jose Vasquez Ardon or Cristian Nunez-Flores," the request further states.

Although he is taller than many of his classmates, sixth-grader Jack Beckner is outsized by several inches by his upright bass. He tried smaller, lighter string instruments, but the big, fat bass fit him best.
"I didn't like the sound of the violin because it's kind of shrill and you have to be really good to make it sound good," said Jack, 11. "The bass is underestimated, and it's really important to keeping the band together."
Jack is one of 314 Spring Hill Elementary School students who comprise one of the largest public elementary school string programs in the state.
Hunters Woods Elementary has the largest string program in Fairfax County public schools, with more than 410 players. Currently, 14,664 Fairfax elementary school students are enrolled in the string program. There are eight elementary schools in the county with programs of 200 or more students. All elementary schools offer string programs.
At Spring Hill, students must take strings during their fourth-grade year.
"In fourth grade, you're forced to take strings and then you can take band [or continue with strings] in fifth grade," said sixth-grade cellist Christopher Fox, 12.
Students also can switch to other music programs such as choir. As with band, students can choose their own instruments. Most students select a violin; others choose viola, the double bass or cello.
Students generally buy their own instruments. Instrument rentals are available through music stores. Some instruments are available through the schools based on student need, according to the school system.
"I just liked the sound, and I liked how big it was. I picked up a violin before, and I didn't like how small it was," Christopher said.
Students said their long-time teacher Ruth Donahue, who has directed at the school for 24 years, drives the success of the program.
Fairfax County public schools music education specialist Keith Taylor agreed.
"It's a fabulous ensemble," Taylor said. "They play for the School Board every year. They're just really good. The string director is awesome. Ruth is one of our best. She's dedicated to getting the kids out there performing. There are only so many opportunities available to kids in elementary school to perform."
Spring Hill is one of nine Fairfax schools that are part of the Kennedy Center's Changing Education Through the Arts program, which promotes professional development as well as integrating the arts into the school curriculum.
Holiday and end-of-the-year concerts might offer the only opportunity for elementary school musicians to perform, but Donahue's ensembles have captured an audience off campus.
"We've been asked to play at the opening of businesses, restaurants. We've played, in the past, at teachers' weddings," Donahue said, adding that the novelty is quality of musicianship at a young age.
Donahue said her students also participate in multiple music competitions each year, such as district orchestra assessments.
"Many schools don't do that," she said. Students in the Strolling Strings ensemble "play for a different grade level [in the school] every month. It's sort of like a master class for them. It gets the word out about the spring program, and it's another opportunity for the kids to perform."
Although students are performing and competing outside the classroom, there also are opportunities to compete in the classroom. Students audition for placement in ensembles, which means there always is something to work toward, students said.
"Orchestra is a little bit more challenging, I think. The pieces are a bit harder," sixth-grade violinist David DiMeglio said.
David, 12, plays with Donahue's premiere ensemble, the Chamber Ensemble, which includes 27 of the school's best musicians.
Fellow sixth-grader Laurenn Lee, 11, said: "Our orchestra program is somewhat better than other schools, I think."
The difference, students and director said, is in the delivery.
"We give more concerts than any other elementary school in Fairfax County," Donahue said. "I believe in showing them off."

He had been driving like this for many kilometres, powering out the turns on opposite lock as rooster tails of dirt and rocks flew into the darkness behind.
His passenger sat impassively, apparently unfazed - and, hopefully, a little impressed - by the pendulum-like, press-on progress back to civilisation.
But this time it was a flick too far and instead of scrambling tail-out through the corner, the car broadsided into the scrub on the outside of the rutted road.
The passenger braced as shadowy trees loomed large to his left, but luckily the errant vehicle bump-thumped to a halt against a clump of something.
It was at this point that Peter Brock's black eyes bored into me as he let fly with some choice words about my miscue.
Talk about tres embarrassment!
But instead of ordering me out of the driver's seat, he grabbed the handbrake lever of the Commodore, wrenching on it like a rally ace would to provoke a tighter tailskid.
He was showing me what I should have done when I felt the car sliding too wide on the corner's slippery surface.
And that was it. We checked for damage - there was none - and I resumed driving Brock back to Port Macquarie at a more subdued pace.
This vignette of Peter Geoffrey Brock's amazing and endearing equanimity stands out in my memory bank of encounters and adventures with him over 33 years.
That awkward incident happened in 1979, the year of his greatest triumphs.
It was early in a short stint as a Sydney-based Holden press officer and I was designated as his 'minder' during a visit to the Southern Cross International Rally on NSW's Mid-North Coast.
The Southern Cross was a big deal in those days, a full-blown international event just short of world rally championship status.
Back then, the competitive stages of rallies were held at night out in the middle of some far-flung forest and we'd been out watching the action at a designated spectator area, which could only be reached by tracks temptingly like the rally stages themselves.
It is a measure of Brock's easy-going approach to others, which he maintained throughout his long and unparalleled career, that he didn't castigate me for my recklessness.
In fact, in all our on-and-off dealings in the years since, he never mentioned the incident again.
What he did take great delight in repeating, though, was his version of our first formal meeting.
According to Brock, I turned up to interview him at the Holden Dealer Team's backstreet workshop in Melbourne's inner east on a scooter, wearing my school uniform.
Okay, it was mid-1973 - I was only 16 and still a student - and, yes, I wagged school that afternoon and turned up in my college uniform, conducting the interview with a bulky cassette tape recorder and spindly microphone fished from my schoolbag.
However, contrary to the legend, I didn't ride there on a scooter or even my pushbike.
I got there by tram and by foot, no doubt mistaken for a truant teenage fan in search of stickers and autographs when I tentatively entered the HDT garage, where the red-and-white Torana XU-1s raced by Brock and Colin Bond were prepared.
Brockie was 28 at the time, and although still only in the early stages of his stardom, just nine months after his first of nine Bathurst 500/1000 victories, even to a callow cub reporter it was clear he was someone special.
The interview went well and was published in its entirety in a motor sport newspaper, beginning a career-long professional association during which I covered pretty much all his major exploits here and overseas.
My most recent fond memories of PB are from last year's Goodwood Festival Of Speed, an English motor sport garden party, and a lunch with arch-rival-turned-close-friend Allan Moffat just six months ago.
Brock was making his debut at the Goodwood gala, turning on a wheel-hiking display in his 1984 Bathurst-winning 'Big Banger' Commodore.
He was genuinely surprised how well-known and popular he was with the spectators, who kept him busy singing autographs, and chuffed by the recognition and attention he received from international motor sport luminaries.
The Brockwave that had long ago swamped Australia not only reached the UK, but also the USA, where he fronted TV ads for Mobil.
Before the start of this year's V8 Supercar championship, I got Brock and Moffat together over lunch to record their sage opinions on the current touring car stars.
It turned out to be more of a reunion than a discussion, and in between courses and keeping them on-topic, we reminisced about their 'golden era' of racing.
Their mutual respect, and close friendship they came to share, was obvious and infectious.
Brock was in fine form, expressing his opinions with characteristic enthusiasm, and clearly comfortable with his life.
Despite his faults and foibles, Brock will always been remembered as 'The People's Champion', forever a class act and a good bloke in the eyes of his adoring public.
If there was one thing I learned in three decades of arm's-length association with him, it was 'Don't knock the Brock'.

First Time Ultrabook. David Gilson's Experience
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Review on December 2, 2013
[Guest post by David Gilson]
While Microsoft is going all-in with its "Modern UI", the dual nature of Windows 8 is still trying the patience of many. This is partly due to the fact that most consumer laptops lack a touchscreen. Fortunately, Chippy was kind enough to loan me his 2013 Harris Beach developer Ultrabook after seeing me bemoan the "dual nature" of Windows 8. Here's how a touchscreen device has changed my feelings about Redmond's tiled interface.
Harris Beach Ultrabook Review
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Review on August 26, 2013
I'm very lucky to be one of the few people with a Haswell-based Ultrabook. There are even fewer people that have a Connected-Standby capable Haswell Ultrabook and when you add 3G, FullHD, NFC, GPS, HD5000 and a great looking build, you're talking about leading edge. What a shame this Ultrabook isn't available to buy. Developers will have access to it (I'm working on getting information as to how developers can get one) but end users will have to wait because this product has been made by Intel as a showcase and developer platform. I'm not a developer so I'm just going to tell you about how good, how well-rounded and complete this Ultrabook is. Let's hope manufacturers read this and that it influences their decisions in making their Ultrabooks. For others, this is your benchmark for a classic Ultrabook.
Windows 8 Developers, This is Your Ultrabook. Introducing Harris Beach.

Harris Beach Developer Ultrabook unboxing and first impressions
Harris Beach is the name of the latest developer edition of the Intel Ultrabook. You can't buy this in the shops because it has been designed by Intel for software developments and experimentation. It contains some of the newest technologies you'll find in any laptop (or even PC) and is packed with as many features as possible. NGFF SSD, NFC, GNSS, HSPA+ 3G modem (21Mbps), Panel Self Refresh, HD 5000 graphics, Full HD IPS screen and of course a Haswell U-Series processor which is incredibly efficient.
IDF Beijing Keynote Highlights WiDi and Next-Gen Ultrabooks.

On target for a launch around the Computex (June) timeframe the 4th generation Core processor, Haswell, is now shipping to OEMs. Intel announced the status at the Developer Forum keynote in Beijing and took the time to re-promote some of the features we already know about. A new Toshiba hybrid Ultrabook was shown on stage and WiDi got a push too.

Are you decorating the table for a Christmas celebration this year? I do this every year because I love to decorate. Check out my earlier posts from the last two years: Samantha's Christmas Table and 42 Items for Your Holiday Table. Some years I have help (Samantha) and some years I don't! This year, just me and a smaller table for a smaller crowd.
I always start in the center with a crystal 3-tier dessert stand that my sister, Gail, gave me years ago. Instead of real desserts, I add fake ones. The 3-tier present tower on top this year (sometimes I put a Christmas tree on top), I found a few years ago in the drug store.
I add my sparkly strawberry ornaments on the second tier. I got these at Pier One years ago and thought they were so cute!
On the bottom tier, I add my gingerbread houses. These are candles, not real gingerbread. I don't remember where I got them, I've had them so long! I just never light them, so I can use them again and again. My mother gave me the beautiful poinsettia ball ornament on the right.
I add festive trees on either side of the cake stand – a sparkly green tree on the left and a red feathered one on the right.
I pile ornaments in a crystal bowl…
If you look closely, you'll see me in the reflection in the red ornaments, taking this photo!
And, I stand my Santa from Michael's Craft Store on top of a holiday cake stand by Patience Brewster!
Then, I work my way down the table, this way and that way, scattering things around making sure no place setting is left without some holiday cheer!
I add my Christmas fairy…
More quirky trees…
And Dancer…my two Patience Brewster reindeers. I've had Donna for years and my sister, Dawn, gifted me Dancer a few years ago!
Let's not forget my adorable elves that I got at a florist's shop a few years back!
I scatter presents around; this one is actually a metal tree ornament. I've perched a feathered cardinal on top of it.
Here's another red-feathered bird perched on a different sparkly present (also an ornament)!
I place beautiful ornaments all around…
The most beautiful ones were all given to me by my mother…
After the fire, and we'd moved home to our new house, my mother went on a mad shopping spree! We moved home 2 weeks before Christmas in 2008 and she felt badly that we didn't have any ornaments. So, she solved that problem {grin} and not only did she buy me ornaments, but she bought spectacular ornaments! So, I like to put them on the table for everyone to enjoy.
Sometimes I put our Christmas Teddy Bear on the table and sometimes I put him by the front door. This year, he's on the table!
At the opposite end of the table is another Santa, this one in a sleigh with his own Teddy bear…
With a red-feathered bird perched on the end of his sleigh.
I like to include something "real" on the table and this year it's two little ferns with red foil surrounding the pot and a sparkly red bird nested in the fern. I got this at my local grocery store.
Then I place my Christmas signs around. This one, HoHoHo, I got at the pharmacy…
And this one, Peace, too!
And Jingle signs are all ornaments. If you look carefully, you'll see holes at either end where I removed the ribbons. Now I just stand them on the table!
Then I set each place setting. I use red chargers and place cream-colored stoneware plates on top. I use red balloon wine glasses and a plaid napkin at each place. Then, I top each with sequined stockings that I got from Michael's years ago. This one has a purple sequined stocking.
And this one a red sequined stocking…
And this one a green sequined stocking. I also have stockings that are blue, pink and silver. Pink ones for the Princesses in the family. Did you notice that each place setting has a plate with a different design? I have 3 difference sets of cream-colored stoneware and I mix and match them on the table for a bit of interest, adding to the casual nature of this tablescape!
Inside each stocking, I give everyone a million dollar chocolate bar! My million dollar gift to them {grin}! But, the kicker is that if they want to get another million dollar chocolate bar next year, they need to leave the stocking behind! That way, I don't have to buy new stockings every year! A few times, some have disappeared. But, then, when I least expect it (like at Easter), they'll reappear somewhere in my house!
And, I don't forget to tell everyone where to sit! I'm bossy like that {grin}! These are cute little place card holders shaped like Christmas ornaments that have flat bottoms so they'll stand upright on the table.
And, I don't forget Grinch glasses for the kids!
I always decorate the table at least a week before Christmas so that I can enjoy it before Christmas day. Notice the giant Santa head hanging on the wall by my front door? He's a new addition to our holiday collection this year! So cute!

Beware the surge
I have witnessed or been a part of multiple process improvement efforts – whether they are small in nature and affect only a few people, or large, transformational endeavors designed to reshape the culture of an organization, if not its entire business model. Some of them succeed, some of them fail, all of them go through a period of a quick, immediate up-tick in performance that looks and feels like success. A while later, however, there is a let-down.
Some organizations commit to the new direction, usually only when there is a large investment into something tangible – like a major software implementation, office redesign or relocation, or acquisition or merger. When the intended change is not tangible, however, and the desire is simply to make things go better or to reduce cost, the immediate surge feels good but then tends to end sliding backwards until old, ingrained habits settle in.
The pattern is well documented and observable, of course. The dynamic is very similar to the classic marketing problem of "Crossing the Chasm" that takes an idea from the early adopters to the mainstream. Sure, there are always people who want ot have something new just for the sake of having something new (watch the lines form around the corner at the next iPhone release), however, most people will wait a while before making a decision to try it out, and even longer before committing to the idea entirely.
There are plenty of discussion on how to bridge the gap, too. Most will focus on the role of leadership in driving the organization and, more importantly, the people within the organization to adopt the new reality, whatever it may be. This is done with coaching, hand holding, engagement, and so on, each of which is intended to match people's habits with the expected behavior.
I suspect, however, that the problem when it comes to facilitating adoption isn't so much one of driving people to the intended outcome, but in allowing people to change the outcome. Consider the marketing analogy – if a product fails outright, would it have succeeded if the consumers themselves could have changed it into what they desired, rather than what the producer wanted to produce? This is, in many ways, the essence of the Lean Startup movement – introduce something minimal and iterate as quickly as possible with measurable data as input.
Perhaps, when it comes to change initiatives, a similar approach should be adopted? Rather than rolling out major process and culture-changing implementations all at once and driving people to the expected behavior, change can be conducted as a sort of crowd-sourced endeavor? Leadership at the top is usually concerned with industry trends and overall company performance, and (unfortunately) doesn't necessarily interact day-to-day with the the rank and file. This places them in a poor position to determine what's best for the rank and file (not to mention what's best for customers), how they'll react to change and, therefore, how they will react.
Nonetheless, Leadership does have the authority to decide when change is necessary. Rather than deciding the course, speed and direction unilaterally, however, I have to wonder if the better approach is to initiate the change and then step out of the way. Let the crowd determine when course corrections are needed in order to align Leadership's perceived need for change with people's need to feel empowered and lasting, sustainable changes just might occur.

Set in Canada, Obasan centers on the memories and experiences of Naomi Nakane, a 36 year old schoolteacher living in the rural Canadian town of Cecil, Alberta, when the novel begins. The death of Naomi's uncle, with whom she had lived as a child, leads Naomi to visit and care for her widowed aunt Aya, whom she refers to as Obasan (Obasan being the Japanese word for "Aunt" in this context). Her brief stay with Obasan in turn becomes an occasion for Naomi to revisit and reconstruct in memory her painful experiences as a child during and after World War II, with the aid of a box of correspondence and journals sent to her by her Aunt Emily, detailing the years of the measures taken by the Canadian government against the Japanese citizens of Canada and their aftereffects. With the aid of Aunt Emily's letters, Naomi learns that her mother, who had been in Japan before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, was severely injured by the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki; a finding which changes her perspective of the 'War in the Pacific', and rekindles the heartbreak she experienced as a child.
Naomi's narration thus interweaves two stories, one of the past and another of the present, mixing experience and recollection, history and memory throughout. Naomi's struggle to come to terms with both past and present confusion and suffering form the core of the novel's plot.
Although Obasan is fiction, the events, Parliamentary legal documents, and overall notion of racism mirror reality. Through the eyes of fictional characters, Kogawa tells the story of Japanese-Canadians during the Second World War.

Danielli determined to shine
Simon Danielli is determined to make his mark when Scotland take on Argentina in Saturday's second Test.
Last Updated: 17/06/10 11:11am
Simon Danielli is determined to make his mark after being handed a starting berth for Scotland in Saturday's second Test against Argentina.
The Ulster winger was left out of the Scot's 24-16 win over the Pumas last Saturday in Tucuman.
But he has been brought back into the side in the only change by coach Andy Robinson, who has re-giged his backline to accommodate the Ulster wideman.
The pacy Danielli will start on the left wing, so Sean Lamont moves to the right flank and Max Evans switches to his more accustomed role in the centres.
Danielli, who is set to win his 26th cap in the game at Mar del Plata, said: "I'm always hoping to be involved. Having chatted with the coach before we came here, I was hopeful to get at least one game.
"I have the opportunity to be in the line-up and I hope we can produce good rugby."
Repay confidence
Robinson turned to Danielli because of his good form for Ulster and the 30-year-old is hoping to repay the coach's confidence in him.
The winger added: "I hope I can have good form on my side.
"I hope we'll get some counter-attack balls, some balls in the channel in order to threaten the Argentinean defence.
"I want to get as involved as possible and play my part in the side again."
While Scotland won the first Test thanks to Dan Parks' accurate kicking, Danielli is hoping for try-scoring opportunities this time around.
Fantastic tacklers
He added: "Argentina's defence is one of the best in the world. They have really clever defenders, fantastic tacklers.
"If we have just penalties, we have to try to score all of them. Hopefully, if try-scoring chances arise, we will finish them all too."
Argentina coach Santiago Phelan has made two changes to his line-up, but Danielli believes it will be tough whatever side the Pumas put out.
He said: "Scotland have played them many times in recent years and every game has been close.
"We know the strengths of Argentina - they all have many strengths. I don't think that one or two players not playing this weekend will make a big difference because the one in is as good as the one out."

UK to help smokers cut down with nicotine products
LONDON — Britain's independent health watchdog says for people who can't quit smoking cold turkey, it's OK to use nicotine products to help them cut down.
For years, Britain has encouraged people who wanted to kick the habit to simply stop, with various supports available, including counseling and nicotine products. But nicotine replacement therapies were not recommended for people who still wanted to cut down but not quit immediately.

Background: The first distinct differentiation event in mammals occurs at the blastocyst stage when totipotent blastomeres differentiate into either pluripotent inner cell mass (ICM) or multipotent trophectoderm (TE). Here we determined, for the first time, global gene expression patterns in the ICM and TE isolated from bovine blastocysts. The ICM and TE were isolated from blastocysts harvested at day 8 after insemination by magnetic activated cell sorting, and cDNA sequenced using the SOLiD 4.0 system. Results: A total of 870 genes were differentially expressed between ICM and TE. Several genes characteristic of ICM (for example, NANOG, SOX2, and STAT3) and TE (ELF5, GATA3, and KRT18) in mouse and human showed similar patterns in bovine. Other genes, however, showed differences in expression between ICM and TE that deviates from the expected based on mouse and human. Conclusion: Analysis of gene expression indicated that differentiation of blastomeres of the morula-stage embryo into the ICM and TE of the blastocyst is accompanied by differences between the two cell lineages in expression of genes controlling metabolic processes, endocytosis, hatching from the zona pellucida, paracrine and endocrine signaling with the mother, and genes supporting the changes in cellular architecture, stemness, and hematopoiesis necessary for development of the trophoblast. © 2012 Ozawa et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Development of the mammalian preimplantation embryo is susceptible to disruption by elevated temperature. The molecular and biochemical bases for developmental, genetic, and other differences in embryonic resistance to heat shock are largely not known. Here we tested the hypothesis that increasing free cholesterol content could improve embryonic resistance to heat shock. Culture of bovine embryos at 41.0°C for 15 h beginning at 30 h after insemination (1- to 2-cell stage) reduced development to the blastocyst stage. Reduction in embryonic cholesterol content by culture with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MBCD) reduced development. This effect of MBCD could be abrogated in 1 of 2 experiments if the molecule was loaded with cholesterol before addition to culture medium. Even though culture with cholesterol-loaded MBCD increased free cholesterol content, it did not increase resistance of embryos to heat shock. Treatment of embryos with cholesterol-loaded high density lipoprotein (HDL) increased embryonic resistance to heat shock even though it slightly reduced embryo cholesterol content. It is likely that other actions of HDL (e.g., protection from free radicals) were responsible for the thermoprotective properties of this molecule. A fi nal experiment was performed to determine whether the increased resistance of embryos at d 5 of development to heat shock as compared with the 2-cell embryo was due to changes in free cholesterol content. However, there was no signifi cant difference in cholesterol content between 2-cell embryos and d 5 embryos that were > 16 cells in development. In conclusion, raising cholesterol content does not improve embryonic survival in response to heat shock. Depletion of cholesterol, in contrast, reduces competence of embryos to develop to the blastocyst stage. High density lipoprotein is thermoprotective to embryos and probably acts through a mechanism independent of its actions on embryonic content of free cholesterol. © 2012 American Society of Animal Science.

This Is Not A Truck With A Full Load Of New Second Generation Smart Cars
Published on March 31, 2017 by Tycho de Feijter
You might think that this is a flatbed truck loaded with second-generation Smart cars that somehow ended up in China. You are wrong. This indeed is a flatbed truck loaded with Jijie Tule cars, clones of the Smart. There are 14 cars on the truck and at least three are of the special Hello Kitty Edition, with a partially pink roof.
The Jijie Tule is a low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV). It is made by a company called Jujie Electric Technology, based in the great city of Changzhou in Jiangsu Province. They also make a clone of the Volkswagen Up! (scroll down).
Happily, I met the Jijie Tule Hello Kitty Edition at the the 2017 Jinan EV Show. All the pink stuff is factory standard. Sadly, the pink on the wheels is of a darker shade than all the other pink.
Pink seats and a pink steering wheel. Nice, but Zotye does pink interiors even better. The touch screen is a nine inch and plays MP4 video, it has a radio and even a navigation system. Drive selector stick is located on the tunnel just in front of the red panic button.
The Jujie Tule is powered by an electric motor with 4 horses, mated to a 60V lead-acid battery. Charging on 220V takes 8 hours. Top speed is 45 km/h and range is 100 kilometers. Price for all this Hello Kitty smart-ass pretty is 18.800 yuan or $2725.
Size: 2730/1570/1570 (as wide as high) and wheelbase is 1850. Curb weight is 738 kilo.
Let's compare that to the sec-gen Smart:
Size: 2695/1560/1540, and wheelbase is 1870. Curb weight was 795 kilo, just a bit more than the Tule, but the Smart had a petrol engine and was undoubtedly much safer and better build. The Tule then, is a fat cat.
On their way to an LSEV market near you.

wikiHow to Be a Good Kicker/Punter
Two Methods:For KickersFor PuntersCommunity Q&A
Kickers and Punters are sometimes overlooked, but they are a very important part of a team. Kicking or Punting doesn't have to be very hard, if you follow these tips.
For Kickers
1Always work on leg strength. You can do this by running or other leg related exercises.
2Kick the underside of the ball. That way, you will get more air under it and it will go farther.
3Try not to always boot it out of the end zone. It will make it seem you like you don't know your own strength. Instead, try to kick it inside the ten, that way you have made a good kick and it forces the opponent to run out of their deep territory.
4Try to kick the center of the ball for field goal. If you kick to the right or left it will slice that way. Also, be aware of the wind direction and aim accordingly.
For Punters
1You need have leg strength like a kicker. However, you also need to have control of that strength.
2When you're waiting for the snap, have your hands ready. When the center hikes it back to you, you need to be able to get a good grip, otherwise, you might fumble.
3Once you've caught it, toss it just outside of your shoe (making sure it stays above your shoe). Also, make sure it is facing vertically (like in a kickoff).
4Aim for the center of the ball (or if you are close to a sideline, aim away from the sideline.)
5After you've kicked it, advance forward. You will probably get pushed down by a defender. That's ok, it usually happens like that.
Community Q&A
I'm trying out for our freshman team. What exercises build strength in my lower half and is it true that your core is very important ?wikiHow ContributorSquats, Running, Leg Press, and for your core sit-ups, planks, army planks (plank with alternated shoulder touches) burpies are all good exercises. Also, yes, your core is very important and it will give you added strength.
How do I stop the ball from going straight?wikiHow ContributorIt often helps if you turn your body in the direction you want to kick it.
What exercises should I do before trying out as a kicker, and how far should I expect to kick the ball initially?wikiHow ContributorYou need to develop a proper leg swing motion while making contact with the bone of your foot. You should not expect to kick the ball far since your are just starting; that is something you worry about when you are in high school. As for exercises, your core and hip strength are the most important qualities for kicking the ball farther. Remember, you need to kick the ball with your hips, not your leg; the torque of your hips with the snap action of your leg is what makes the ball fly. I would recommend you try to find a local training camp to help you improve.
How do I kick a field goal?wikiHow ContributorFocus and watch your foot as it hits the ball, it helps with the angle and distance.
What exercises should I do to gain leg strength?wikiHow ContributorSquats and calf raises are great for your leg muscles. But remember, core and hip strength are just as important as leg strength when it comes to kicking or punting.
How can I be a better punter?wikiHow ContributorPractice daily, set goals for yourself and work with a good coach.
When the snap is bad, should I try to punt it or run?wikiHow ContributorPunt. If you try to run you will most likely be tackled.

- Keep your ankle locked out, back straight. Work on flexibility and consistency, different drills and control of power. Make sure to watch the ball and how you strike it, not the surroundings.
- Practice kicking and punting in an open space, like a field or big backyard.
- Practice daily. This way, you will keep up your stamina and build skills. Make sure to practice for a decent amount of time, too.
- Make sure you have strong feet. If your feet aren't strong enough to continuously punt or kick a football, don't try. (You may get a stress fracture.)
- Always wear tennis shoes or special kicking shoes. If you use sandals or loose shoes you could break your foot or toes.
- Don't over practice. You will exhaust yourself.
Things You'll Need
- A good leg
- A football
- A kickoff tee
- Plenty of space
- Always walk up with your kicking leg.

Harness the power of chocolate! A recent news report based on a new study shows that individuals who eat chocolate regularly are skinnier than those individuals who are not regular consumers. This news made quite a buzz in the chocoholic's world and with good reason because chocolate lovers always like more good reasons to justify […]
There is sufficient evidence in the science and medical world showing that diets rich in phytochemicals contributes to the reduction of oxidative stress and free radical damage that leads to certain types of cancers, heart diseases and neurodgenerative diseases.
Clinical evidence through blood tests has shown that most patients who suffer from depression have very low Omega-3′s in their systems. The average person only receives 130mg per day but the recommended amount is 650mg per day. When you don't give your brain the nutrients it needs to make healthy cells your entire system is at risk for many forms of depression.
Retinitis Pigmentosa is a vision stealing chronic illness that is grouped together with many other chronic eye diseases of the retina. Those individuals who have been diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa experience night vision loss in their adolescence years, then begin to begin to lose peripheral vision and later in life they lose central vision.
Prevention of oxidative stress and free radical damage to DNA is an area that science has been studying. One of the most harmful free radicals that exist in the human body is the 'hydroxyl radical'. Left unattended this radical seeks and destroys cell tissue and molecules.
Diets that are rich in fruits and vegetables, high antioxidants, help the body to neutralize oxidative stress and free radical damage to the cells in your body. Our bodies produce antioxidants naturally but as we age our bodies stop making their own and it is imperative that we get them from our diets. Without antioxidants the body endures continuous cell damage opening the door to chronic illness and other 'age related' diseases.

P.K. Library Journal
"…a sentimental book for readers who like the old-fashioned appeal of the father-son baseball connection... Readers will enjoy the simple reminiscences of players such as Moises Alou or Aaron Boone who had MLB fathers and who grew up around the stadium. Other sons, e.g., pitcher Greg Maddux, had dads who coached them in the early years and who were wise enough to realize the limits of their baseball knowledge. …a good option for public libraries or as a Fathers Day gift."

Earlier this year, a team of researchers at John Hopkins University published a paper which suggested that random mutations in DNA had a significant role to play in cancer development. These findings were popularly interpreted to mean that "bad luck," more than any other causative factor, leads to cancer. This has sparked a debate among the experts in the field. Now, Yusuf Hannun of Stony Brook University in New York and his team has published a study that attempts to refute the claim that cancer is a result of random cell division. According to this study, which involved computer modeling, population data and genetic approaches, only 10-30% of cancer cases are a result of random mutations. The major cancer-causing reasons are extrinsic, such as toxic chemicals, radiation, and other lifestyle-related factors. Hannun, however, agrees that "There is still an element of luck," when it comes to cancer as both intrinsic and extrinsic factors play a combined role.

Looking for a Used SC 400 in your area?
CarGurus has 47 nationwide SC 400 listings starting at $2,495.
1993 Lexus SC 400 Overview
This was the second production year for the new Lexus sports coupe, the SC 400. The only changes from 1992 was a passenger-side airbag and a new headlamp system. Today, many long time SC owners are applauding Lexus for reliability, as their coupes are passing the 150, 200, and 250k milestones without significant problems.
The SC 400 was powered by a 4.0 liter V-8, which produced 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The 400 could zip from 0 to 60 in 6.6 seconds and made the quarter mile in 15.4 seconds. Some tests have SC a little slower (7.2 seconds to 60 mph). Considering its weighty build, large engine, and high performance the SC's gas mileage was fair at 18/23 mpg. However, this was a frequent complaint among owners.
The SC weighed almost 4000 pounds, which prevented it from performing as well as similar vehicles. Lower priced options Mustang GT and Eagle Talon TSi easily out- performed the SC in road tests. However, Lexus saw the SC as more of repackaged LS with a GT feel. It was never intended to compete with other
2+2s like the Mustang GT.
Despite the SC's solid reputation for reliability, some nagging problems included interior lights, the steering pump, and the alternator. The SC 400 is rare to start with, and not too many have been scrapped for parts. Fortunately many of the LS's parts are interchangeable with the coupe.
