Fifty Bryan High School juniors sat down with local volunteers Thursday to take on a complex issue that's troubled Omaha and communities worldwide.
The issue revolved around food and nutrition, and teams could pick one of four challenges aimed at making sure people have both, by doing such things as reducing food waste and encouraging local food production.
The goal of their day of brainstorming was to propose real-world solutions to food challenges.
Thursday's "innovation day" at the Omaha Public Schools high school in Bellevue served as the national kickoff for the Howard G. Buffett Foundation's 40 Chances Challenges program. The program posed the problems and gave the students a start on entries for the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship's 2013 World Series of Innovation, which the foundation is sponsoring.
Through the contest, they'll have a chance to compete for cash — up to $10,000 — and other prizes.
Howard W. Buffett, the foundation's executive director, told the students they had the opportunity "to solve some serious problems that really exist right here in Omaha" and find solutions "that can be scaled up to a larger audience."
The 40 Chances Challenges program is being launched in conjunction with the October publication of "40 Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World," which Howard G. Buffett co-wrote with Howard W. Buffett. The book shares approaches for combating hunger and poverty.
Howard W. Buffett, grandson of investor Warren Buffett and son of philanthropist Howard G. Buffett, told the students that his father, through farming and his travels, realized that people have a limited number of productive years to make an impact on the world.
The students who took part in Thursday's event are part of Bryan's Urban Agriculture and Natural Resources Career Academy. It opened last year with a three-year grant from the Howard G. Buffett Foundation.
The program has 120 students in 10th and 11th grades who take classes, including English and history, with an agricultural focus. They also participate in FFA, just as Howard W. Buffett did when he was in high school.
Rick Painter, a counselor at the school, said Bryan initially hoped to sign up 30 students. Instead, it is adding about 60 a year. One in three jobs in Nebraska has some connection with agriculture, he said, and students recognize that.
"We thought it was going to be a hard sell going into an urban school," he said. "But there was way more interest than we anticipated."
Reyna Quintana said she's overcome her shyness by studying with a smaller group of students in the ag academy and participating in FFA speaking events. She even won a blue ribbon.
"After that, I knew I could do things beyond," she said.
She has realized that she can put her science skills to work in the food industry, coming up with food flavorings.
Austin Martinez, who wants to pursue degrees in horticulture and nursing, said the innovation day provided him with valuable experience. He considers Howard W. Buffett a role model.
"I like how he explains his ideas and how he wants to change things around the world."
The students teamed with 20 volunteers from Farm Credit Services of America, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Federal Reserve and the Nebraska Department of Education.
Staff from the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship led exercises meant to teach the basics of innovation and entrepreneurship. In one, teams crafted products from paper cups, cotton swabs and a few other items and figured out how to market them.
Then it was time for the teams to pick a challenge.
Ethan Lugo explained why his team chose to focus on reducing the vast quantities of food wasted in the United States each year. "Could you imagine how many kids and homeless people (we could feed) with all this food?" he said.
Reducing waste also would lessen the load on landfills and trim the amount farmers need to produce, he said.
The teaching network hopes to net 1,500 submissions for the innovation competition. Teams are made up of two to five people.
A panel will choose the top finalists. The finalist that receives the most votes through the organization's online voting during Global Entrepreneurship Week, Nov. 18 to 24, will win the $10,000 grand prize. The team's school will receive $1,500. Other prizes also are available.
Howard W. Buffett said he was "blown away" by the effort and creativity he was seeing.
"I have amazing hopes for these students," he said.

Fellow Directory Services MVP Mark Minasi has a great table that shows a ton DNS commands using dnscmd. For those of you getting ready to use Server Core here is yet another list of commands that will come in handy. All I can say is WOW!!!
DNSCMD option
Do any dnscmd command on a remote system
dnscmd servername command
dnscmd main.bigfirm.com /zoneprint bigfirm.com
Create a primary zone
dnscmd /zoneadd zonename /primary
dnscmd /zoneadd bigfirm.com /primary
Create a secondary zone
dnscmd /zoneadd zonename /secondary master IP address
dnscmd /zoneadd bigfirm.com /secondary 192.168.1.1
Host a zone on a server based on an existing (perhaps restored) zone file
dnscmd /zoneadd zonename /primary /file filename /load
dnscmd /zoneadd bigfirm.com /primary /file bigfirm.com.dns /load
Delete a zone from a server
dnscmd /zonedelete zonename [/f]
dnscmd /zonedelete bigfirm.com /f
(without the /f, dnscmd asks you if you really want to delete the zone)
Show all of the zones on a DNS server
dnscmd /enumzones
Dump (almost) all of the records in a zone
dnscmd /zoneprint zonename
dnscmd /zoneprint bigfirm.com
Doesn't show glue records.
Add an A record to a zone
dnscmd /recordadd zonename hostname A ipaddress
dnscmd /recordadd bigfirm.com mypc A 192.168.1.33
Add an NS record to a zone
dnscmd /recordadd zonename @ NS servername
dnscmd /recordadd bigfirm.com @ dns3.bigfirm.com
Delegate a new child domain, naming its first DNS server
dnscmd /recordadd zonename childname NS dnsservername
dnscmd /recordadd bigfirm.com test NS main.bigfirm.com
This would create the "test.bigfirm.com" DNS child domain unter the bigfirm.com DNS domain
Add an MX record to a zone
dnscmd /recordadd zonename @ MX priority servername
dnscmd /recordadd bigfirm.com @ MX 10 mail.bigfirm.com
Add a PTR record to a reverse lookup zone
dnscmd /recordadd zonename lowIP PTR FQDN
dnscmd /recordadd 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa 3 PTR pc1.bigfirm.com
This is the PTR record for a system with IP address 192.168.1.3
Modify a zone's SOA record
dnscmd /recordadd zonename @ SOA primaryDNSservername responsibleemailipaddress serialnumber refreshinterval retryinterval expireinterval defaultTTL
dnscmd /recordadd bigfirm.com @ SOA winserver.bigfirm.com mark.bigfirm.com 41 1800 60 2592000 7200
Ignores the serial number if it's not greater than the current serial number
Delete a resource record
dnscmd /recorddelete zonename recordinfo [/f]
dnscmd /recorddelete bigfirm.com @ NS main.bigfirm.com /f
Again, "/f" means "don't annoy me with a confirmation request, just do it."
Create a resource record and incorporate a nonstandard TTL
dnscmd /recordadd zonename leftmostpartofrecord TTL restofrecord
dnscmd /recordadd bigfirm.com pc34 3200 A 192.168.1.4
Reload a zone from its zone file in \windows\system32\dns
dnscmd /zonereload zonename
dnscmd /zonereload bigfirm.com
Really only useful on primary DNS servers
Force DNS server to flush DNS data to zone file
dnscmd /zonewriteback zonename
dnscmd /zonewriteback bigfirm.com
Tell a primary whom to allow zone transfers to
dnscmd /zoneresetsecondaries zonename /nonsecure|securens
dnscmd /zoneresetsecondaries bigfirm.com /nonsecure
That example says to allow anyone who asks to get a zone transfer
Enable/disable DNS NOTIFY
dnscmd /zoneresetsecondaries zonename /notify|/nonotify
dnscmd /zoneresetsecondaries bigfirm.com /nonotify
Example disables DNS notification, which is contrary to the default settings.
Tell a secondary DNS server to request any updates from the primary
dnscmd /zonerefresh zonename
dnscmd /zonerefresh bigfirm.com
Enable or disable dynamic DNS on a zone
dnscmd /config zonename /allowupdate 1|0
1 enables, 0 disables, 0 is default
Stop the DNS service
Either net stop dns or sc stop dns
(No dnscmd command for this)
Start the DNS service
Either net start dns or sc start dns
Install the DNS service on a 2008 full install system
servermanagercmd -install dns
Install the DNS service on a 2008 Server Core system
ocsetup DNS-Server-Core-Role
Case matters -- ocsetup dns-server-core-role would fail
Uninstall the DNS service on a 2008 Server full install system
servermanagercmd -remove dns
Uninstall the DNS service on a 2008 Server Core system
ocsetup /uninstall DNS-Server-Core-Role
The PTR Record example here isn't right. The Record type listed is "a". As in:
dnscmd /recordadd 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa 3 A pc1.bigfirm.com
I believe it should be:
Thanks for the help!
Thanks for this page, very helpful!
just wanted to point out with this PTR example that if you want to have the ip of the hostname explicitly set with the PTR record, you will need to put a "." at the end of the zone name.
For example:
dns/cmd /recordadd 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 3 PTR pc1.bigfirm.com
Pingback from Configuring DNS Zones in Core « Jeffery Land's Tech Blog
Thanks for providing this reference. It's the best I have found so far.
Please note that the example for adding NS records is not correct (dnscmd /recordadd bigfirm.com @ A dns3.bigfirm.com) it should read: dnscmd /recordadd bigfirm.com @ NS dns3.bigfirm.com
Thanks so much.
Repost from AdminPrep.com…I will be moving several of the articles over to this blog. Before all

Discovery Fit & Health
When you laugh, you aren't just making sounds -- your whole body is engaged in the laughter. In fact, there are 15 different muscles in your face alone that participate in laughter. Your respiratory system gets involved as well, which is why you can sometimes find breathing difficult, or even get the hiccups, while laughing. Your epiglottis is vibrating, half-closing over your larynx. This makes it more difficult to breathe. As your air intake ebbs and flows, the relative strength of your laughter will follow suit. If your struggle for oxygen is strong enough, this will activate your tear ducts. Lastly, the force of laughter causes muscle contractions throughout your body -- in your limbs, your diaphragm and your back.
For something that's so much fun to do, it seems like laughter should be easier on the body. But what about another sharp emotion, such as anger? It turns out that emotion packs a wallop too. The emotion of anger is believed to be able to affect your health, positively and negatively. Those who believe anger can have some positive effects limit that assertion to proportional expressions of anger. Anger that is extreme, persistent, or possibly even violent, can have considerably negative effects beyond just the experience of being angry. Extreme or persistent anger can manifest itself in one's bodily health, contributing to physical stress. Frequent anger may even hasten the onset of atherosclerosis, ultimately damaging the arterial walls over time WebMD. Peripherally, frequent anger can also lead to risky or harmful behaviors.
Simply being angry isn't, in and of itself, harmful to the body, so long as it's experienced in moderation. Expressing displeasure about something, "getting it out," can be very helpful; it's the anger that comes with a harder, more explosive edge that can nudge a body toward heart disease WebMD.
It might not be surprising to know that, so far, science hasn't found good cause to caution us against laughing.

Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro and David Rockwell walk into a bar… That was the scene a few weeks ago as Nobu Hotel, Restaurant and Lounge was unveiled at Caesars Palace.
Only a combination 181-room boutique hotel and the largest Nobu restaurant in the world (12,775 square feet) could bring together the chef, Oscar-winning actor and renowned architect, respectively, all of whom helped realize the project.
The restaurant, fronted by an oblong bar and adjacent lounge, features a menu of hot and cold dishes, highlighted by yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño and black cod with miso (remarkably, it was Matsuhisa who helped popularize these now-standard dishes), premium Japanese wagyu beef and squid-ink pasta.
Guests looking to put their meal in the chefs' hands can splurge for the multicourse omakase menus that pair signature Nobu creations with daily specials, with the option to add sake.
"I started cooking when I was 18 years old, and now I have restaurants all over the world," Matsuhisa told the Las Vegas Sun. "It happened step by step, one by one."

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire's highest court is expected to rule on whether the state's only death row convict should be executed for killing a Manchester police officer in 2006.
If the state Supreme Court on Wednesday vacates the death sentence of Michael Addison on constitutional grounds, prosecutors would be barred from again seeking capital punishment. If it upholds the death sentence, Addison could be the first killer executed in New Hampshire since 1939.
Addison, now 33, was sentenced to death in 2008 for gunning down Officer Michael Briggs as he attempted to arrest him after a violent rampage of robberies and drive-by shootings.
When it heard daylong arguments a year ago, it was the first time in half a century the state's highest court examined the death penalty.
Defense lawyer David Rothstein argued that holding the trial in Manchester biased the jury because the court was so close to the police station where Briggs worked. Prosecutors countered that both sides worked to guarantee Addison a fair trial and that jurors certified their verdict was not influenced by arbitrary factors.
Briggs was 15 minutes from the end of his shift on Oct. 16, 2006, when he and his partner — both on bicycle patrol — confronted Addison in a dark alley. Jurors found that Addison shot Briggs in the head at close range to avoid arrest.
Because it was the first death penalty appeal in decades, the justices had to first determine the pool of cases to compare with Addison's to determine whether his sentence was influenced by race or other factors. Addison is black; Briggs was white.
The last person executed in New Hampshire was Howard Long, an Alton shopkeeper who molested and beat a 10-year-old boy to death. He was hanged — still a viable form of execution in New Hampshire if lethal injection is not possible.

Macroeconomic Instability and Fiscal Decentralization: An Empirical Analysis
The main objective of this paper is to fill a critical gap in the literature by analyzing the effects of decentralization on the macroeconomic stability. A survey of the voluminous literature on decentralization suggests that the question of the links between decentralization and macroeconomic stability has been relatively scantily analyzed. Even though there is still a lot of room for analysis as far as the effects of decentralization on other aspects of the economy are concerned, we believe that it is in this area that a more thorough analyses are mostly called for. Through this paper, we will try to shed more light on the issue notably by looking at other dimension of macroeconomic stability than the ones usually employed in previous studies as well as by examining other factors that might accentuate or diminish the effects of decentralization on macroeconomic stability. Our results found that decentralization appears to lead to a decrease in inflation rate. However, we do not find any correlation between decentralization with the level of fiscal deficit. Our results also show that the impact of decentralization on inflation is conditional on the level of perceived corruption and political institutions.Download Info

This not only provides for space savings, but also smaller assemblies that use less materials, hence lower production costs. Our supplier coils pre-tempered flat wire made from rolled round wire as raw material. The on-edge-coiling process creates a circle with one or more turns... (read more) -

We've pretty much emphasized how putting up a small business blog for your company can significantly help your brand grow. Aside from the fact that you will have a channel in which you can disseminate information in, you also establish an outpost wherein people can reach out and share their thoughts with you.
But more than just that, you might want to consider tweaking your business blog a bit to get the most out of your efforts to maintain it.
Just what kinds of customizations are we talking about? Here are some suggestions:
Get a custom domain for your blog. Although there's nothing wrong with starting out with a free Blogger or WordPress account, you might want to consider getting your own domain and host your blog there. A good example for a custom domain name is "blog.companyname.com".
Keep the blog design simple. Don't overcomplicate your blog with too much moving graphics or flashy designs as these can actually distract your customers from the actual content. You want your readers to focus on what you have to say, not what your site looks like. But of course, you have to make sure that the blog looks creative but professional.
Integrate useful, top-of-the-line plugins to your blog. There are various plugins that work for different blog platforms. Choose the ones that actually work for your goals, like an SEO plugin.
Add social media links and buttons to your site. If you've got a Facebook or Twitter account for your business, don't be afraid to integrate them over to your blog. This makes sharing your content easier and more convenient.
Make sure that people can see you "About" information. Don't be too confident that people who visit your blog know about your company. Make sure that your "About" summary can be easily seen at first glance so that people will know who you are or what the company is about.
You have to keep in mind that there's more to your blog than just the content. And although the above customizations may seem like just a tiny detail compared to what you post, your business blog will significantly benefit from such tweaking.

Found May 08, 2013 on
Fox Sports South:
The summer caravans are in full swing with coaches making the rounds like revival preachers. They speak to this group and that almost nightly in the hopes of firing up the fan base before summer practice begins.
Usually the speeches dont amount to much -- a lot of we couldnt do it without the fans platitudes and boilerplate answers to questions most coaches can see coming from the parking lot.
But Oklahomas Bob Stoops turned his Monday night appearance on the Sooner Caravan into a news-making event when he went on a tear about the SEC.
Well, it depends on what gap you're talking about, Stoops told Tulsa World Sports in answer to a question about the gap between the SEC and other conferences. What are the bottom six (SEC teams) doing?The first answer that comes to mind is: theyre getting players drafted in the NFL. The SEC just sent a record 63 players to the NFL, a number which more than doubles any other conference. Not all of those came from the top three or four teams, either. Every SEC program except Ole Miss had at least one player drafted.
And, while they might fall into what Stoops considers the bottom six of the SEC, the Rebels finished 7-6 and beat Pittsburgh handily in the BBVA Compass Bowl.
Auburn, Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky and Missouri -- the five SEC teams that finished with losing records last season -- had 12 players taken in this years draft.
But Stoops had more to say. He continued to tell Tulsa World Sports, So they've had the best team in college football. They haven't had the whole conference. Because, again, half of them haven't done much at all. I'm just asking you. You tell me.
Well, lets look into that.
Of the five teams that ended 2012 with losing records, one of them, Auburn, was among those national championship winners of which Stoops spoke. Another, Missouri, was new to the SEC, coming out of Oklahomas own Big 12 Conference where they finished 8-5 in 2011.
Arkansas went through a storm called Bobby Petrino, but prior to that scandal the Hogs were 11-2 in 2011 and ranked No. 5 in the country at the end of the year.
So, since the tense of Stoops statement indicates that he was not referring to a single season, one must ask: whom exactly is he referring to as the bottom six?
Vanderbilt, the historical cellar-dweller in the conference, finished last year 9-4 and beat NC State in the Music City Bowl, while Ole Miss, the worst team in the conference in 2011 with a 2-10 record, came roaring back with a winning season under new head coach Hugh Freeze.
It depends on who you want to listen to, Stoops continued. Listen, they've had the best team in college football, meaning they've won the national championship. That doesn't mean everything else is always the best. So you're listening to a lot of propaganda that gets fed out to you. You're more than smart enough to figure it out. Again, you can look at the top two, three, four, five, six teams, and you can look at the bottom six, seven, eight, whatever they are. How well are they all doing?
"What'd we (the Big 12) have, eight of 10 teams in bowl games this year? Again, you figure it all out.
Indeed, the numbers dont lie. But only one of those eight Big 12 teams played an SEC opponent. It was Stoops own Oklahoma Sooners that took on the Aggies of Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl.
Howd that turn out?
Texas A&M won 41-13.
You figure it all out.

(TOPEKA, Kan.)—
An outside audit of the Kansas Bioscience Authority and the computer used by its former president has found evidence of document destruction, misuse of funds and policy violations on more than $570,000 in expenditures.Investigators from BKD Forensics and Valuations Services released their findings Monday of the dealings by former KBA president Tom Thornton.
The investigators said Thornton misled the agency's board about a trip he took for a job interview with the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio on the pretext of talking about the KBA business model.
Thornton resigned under pressure to take a job with the clinic in April 2011, amid growing scrutiny of the KBA and his activities by legislators and Governor Sam Brownback.
The authority was created in 2004 to invest in growing bioscience companies.

: MediaTakeOut.com heard rumors for the last year and now we can OFFICIALLY CONFIRM to you that popular child actress Kyla Pratt (from proud family/dr doolittle/love and basketball) gave birth to a baby girl a little more than a year ago LA. She named the baby girl Lyric Kai Kirkpatrick.
The birth of the baby was kept on the low. Why, cause Kyla's babys father was a popular stripper who worked at the Right Track on Florence & Western in LA for over 4 yrs. The father's name is Danny Kirkpatrick and went by the stripper name "COMPTON".
Immediately after the birth of Lyric, Danny, or should we say "COMPTON" gave up dancing and opened up a tattoo parlour.
But we hear that since the recession, the tattoo business has gotten a little tight, and COMPTON has started taking on SIDE GIGS - you know BACHELORETE PARTIES and the like!!!
Who is her PR company they are the ish kept this out the media and the tabloids! She is a grown woman watch all the holier than thou folks get in here and call her a baby mama even though they are probably one too! At least she can take care of her child and I bet she already has a trust set up for her. Congrats Penny Proud!
Babymamma for a stripper? Do you all know how many educated brothers with JOBS probably tried to holla at her? You can take a rat out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of a RAT! Now watch these rats up in here make excuses for her. Black women are SMMFH. A Hoodrat is a HOODRAT.
Male strippers are some of the nastiest grimiest nygguh's on earth! Them nygguhs be stripping for women and MEN! Which means they're getting felt on and grinding on women and MEN! Those guys are low rent male gigolo's. Prostitution might be a better/safer profession.
Lol. How is she TYPICAL?? She's had a career before some of YOU EVEN HAD A REAL ONE, has her own brand, had a Disney cartoon, etc. WHY? Cuz she's a babymomma?? lol. You think she gon' lose to you? Lol At the end of the day you don't know her at all. She can do what she pleases if ya ask me. I wish I would take advice from people writing COMMENTS about my life on a computer screen. WISH I WOULD....lol
You ppl must be real stupid to believe MTO. he is not a stripper. & how do u know if she isn't already married? Ppl have *** condoms aren't 100% safe. The baby is here & BOTH parents are active in the babys life. While the rest of u can't even figure out who the father is plz have a seat.
Hum!! I always wondered who her parents were,because Kyla was an absolute standout as far as child stars are concerned that seemed to had successfully maneuvered her way through her formative years as a Good Girl unscathed by Hollywood scandal. Young, Pretty, Successful, Well Mannered and Rich were her obvious attributes so I just knew once she had reached the legal age with all the smarts and intelligence she seemed to possess to choose a man, that she would choose one that was respectable and professional with a college degree and some morals. Lol SMH...@ how her girls must have taken her to the strip club for the first time and Mr. Compton spotted that fresh naive meat then gave her the TABLE DANCE of her life and put something on her mind that she could not/would not forget! Her lack of experience against his "Many experiences" with numerous women in the club was no match for Kyla Prat and once he tossed that salad she was totally Sprung! Problem is the poor thing really believed that because he got the celebrity prize he would become this new upstanding baby daddy citizen before the truth came out about who he was in the media. Well the bad news is Kyla sweetie you got played, he will not be faithful to only you and you not gonna change him Boo,Boo, but the even better news is you have the most beautiful baby and she is a precious gift regardless and you can move forward if you so choose from here. S.h.i.t happens to the best of us girlfriend...
@rjk8...I don't even know what smmh or all that other *** was you call yourself saying about Black Women but you need to look at the state you Black male monkeys are in before you start insulting us..get some of your 1and a half million BM out of prison, stop slaughtering each other, selling dope, being down low ***, unemployed and robbing and killing people. Get that straightened out then come back and talk because right now Black Men are the LAST mf's that need to be talking *** about anybody!
You can't blame either gender for a whole races issue. Men spread their seeds a ditch, while women spread their legs for losers. The absence of real mothers and fathers is the reason for why blacks world wide are behind. I expected more from kyla, but its her life. I can't fault germ for doing what our race is known for.
first off, MTO is LATE AS HELL with this story lol. second, all you ignorant azzes up here need to stop acting like white people don't have baby daddies lined up outside their trailer parks. blacks are not the only ones who do this. last i checked, britney spears' sister, bristol palin, and that corpse madonna weren't married when they gave birth. check the facts; the majority of single mothers collecting government assistance in this country are WHITE single mothers.
Kyla blossomed into a beautiful young lady because she looked a little rough growing up appearing on the Barney show etc. But hey we all go through those phases you know but she is stunning now. So what if her BD strips....they have a boo-ti-ful baby together and he is a cutie pie himself. Yummy if you ask me. Its her life and shes old enough to make her own choices. Keep doing your thing Kyla. I hope that show youre on gets better now that youre apart of the cast because it was wack as hell. Please *** the directors some ideas to keep me interested because I prolly watched 2 episodes and gave up. I try to support BET but that show was dead so I look forward to seeing what your character will contribute to it. Best wishes to you and your family.
yall *** the FFFF Up seriously. act like yall all got married and *** and had had kids stop hating she is human okay, okay (in my little rascales voice ) he is so fine he would be my baby's papi 2 . so *** up white pple and other races do the same *** yall just dont catch em cause you so busy worring about the wrong ***. Everybody on foodstamps now so dont judge her, just because she not beyonce opps sorry ! I bet if this was Beyonce it would be good. Smh dumb ***
All i can say is good luck on dating a male stripper. i did it & ive known others who have & its just not a good look. you can totally forget about marriage--thats not gonna happen Pryla honey. & if he does decide to marry you--plan on being cheated on left right & sideways. Get a real man w/ a real income & none of this temporary hollywood dream ***!!!Think about your future honey!
Welp! When I first saw his photos I thought he was just ***. But now that I know what he's really all about, it makes sense. I just wanna know, how much? And as far as that love/desperate chile is concerned, he betta NOT strut his arse on Maury. If he does just throw ya hands in the air, and fugg the DNA test just like ya don't care, cuz that's his for shizzall! Noooo bout a doubt it!
1st off yall act like she give a *** about what yall think about her.... And yes I no compton very nice person...I see y she didn't tell the world about her beautiful daughter....look how yall act like yall pay her bills....and the ones that talking *** her and compton being together yall just not happy with your self r the person u with get a *** life ppl....COMPTON *** yall hater yall doing something right.....

The Morrow County Court has paved the way for the construction of a $330 million NASCAR-caliber speedway west of Boardman, provided residents approve an 8% excise tax on ticket sales in the May 23 election. If approved, most of the tax revenue would go to development group Oregon International Speedway to offset the cost of infrastructure improvements to support the speedway. If completed as planned, the I-84-adjacent speedway would sport an 81,500-seat grandstand designed to attract NASCAR enthusiasts from points east and west. County economic development officials say the speedway would attract visitors to the area who are likely to stay for several days at a time. |

Dodgers reliever Guerra has shoulder surgery
Friday - 11/2/2012, 10:39pm  ET
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Dodgers reliever Javy Guerra had right shoulder surgery on Friday.
The team said the arthroscopic procedure on his pitching shoulder cleaned up bursitis and a joint at the top of the shoulder. Guerra will start throwing in six weeks and is expected to be ready by spring training.
Guerra had right knee surgery on June 5 to repair torn cartilage after being hit in the face by a line drive. He also was sidelined with a strained oblique muscle for part of the season.
The right-hander was 2-3 with a 2.60 ERA in 45 games this season, finishing with eight saves in 13 chances. As a rookie in 2011, Guerra had a 2.31 ERA and 21 saves.

Airbrush tanning may be performed by hand for natural-looking application, and the studio offers 30-minute teeth-whitening treatments that help mouths stand out from their newly shady surroundings. Knowledgeable tanning consultants work with clients to plan the best tanning packages and select the proper lotions from a variety of brands including Miami Ink, Australian Gold, and California Tan. If a client prefers a specific lotion that is not carried, the salon will order it or send for it via singing telegram.
The licensed epidermis professionals at The Spa 4 Skin challenge blemishes, wrinkles, and unwanted hair with a full array of laser systems, technology-based therapies, and custom facials. They perform skincare therapies such as clay masks, microdermabrasion, and DermaMax and DiamondTome resurfacing treatments, which rejuvenate visages and can slough off the tomato residue caked on from standup performances. Besides face-focused treatments, the professionals cater to bodies with the soothing, nutrient-rich misting of DermaLife spa jet and Swedish or deep-tissue massage. In addtion, unwanted follicles are disabled during laser hair removal.
Sweety Beauty Salon has the basics covered. Haircuts, bold color, and facial and body waxing options have their slots on the service menu. However, its stylists and aestheticians also delve into more specialized territory. They offer refreshing facials, facial threading, and eyelash extensions. In addition, they adorn clients' skin with henna tattoos, which showcase the exquisite detail of the Indian body art form.
More than 30 years after its inception, Cactus Salon & Spa and its team of continually educated stylists have not lost their edge—they earned the Long Island Press's designation as Best Hair Salon and Best Day Spa in 2012. It's not surprising, then, that the salon has enjoyed such impressive growth over the years, with more than two dozen separate spa and salon locations.
Although hair is still the focus—stylists craft 'dos that reflect everyday ease or fashion-forward thinking—the repertoire has expanded to include everything from nail treatments and massages to permanent cosmetics and laser services. Since the roster is so broad, many clients take advantage of Cactus Club memberships, which give them the flexibility to try multiple services and products by deactivating the force fields between treatment rooms and granting a 33% discount on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Information content of IPO grading
In the year 2007, Indian capital market regulator-SEBI, introduced a unique certification mechanism for IPOs whereby all IPOs have to undergo mandatory quality grading by independent rating agencies. In this paper we argue that such objective, independent and exogenous certifying mechanism provides a better opportunity to test the well established certification hypothesis, especially in the context of emerging markets with institutional voids. Using a sample of 163 Indian IPOs we test the efficacy of IPO grading mechanism. We find, grading decreases IPO underpricing and positively influences demand of retail investors. Grading reduces secondary market risk and improves liquidity. However, grading does not affect long run performance of the IPOs. IPO grading successfully capture firm size, business group affiliation and firm's quality of corporate governance. Our findings imply that, in emerging markets, regulator's role to signal the quality of an IPO contributes towards the market welfare.Download Info

Hmm, when you check Malthael\'s image he\'s wielding sickles, Death? I don\'t think so, more likely Fate becomes Death, as we know death is fate of us all
14-08-2013, 14:14 #23
But Ithereal has no reasons for that. Imperius didn\'t like what was going on, but his probably ok now. It leaves Malthael and his sickles only possibility? Can\'t wait

I have a feeling we\'re going to be fighting a few angels gone bad in this expansion then. Whichever angel turns into the Angel of Death will be one of the bosses if not the final. I think Imperius will be another big boss as he is now \'Angel of Wrath\'. They honestly could make 2 full acts, one for Imperius and one for the Angel of Death both of them being the final bosses of each act but I would hope we\'d be fighting a couple of the Lords of Hell also perhaps a male version of Diablo this time.
Also, I like the concept art for for this teaser, it tells me a few things one of which, it is \"dark\" looking which leads me to assume Blizzard learned from their harsh criticisms about Diablo3 being \"too colorful and WoWish\". So I like the vibe I\'m getting from this \"first\" picture of their art for the expansion as setting the tone for the feel of the game. If they make it as dark as I\'m thinking with very little \"light sources\" like in Diablo2 then I think as far as the art and style goes this will get the Diablo stamp of approval.

Ho Ho Ho
Posted: 11/27/2007Sometimes, during the holiday rush, we forget the important things. Things like… Planes, Trains & Automobiles being the Best Thanksgiving Movie Ever. And Best Christmas Movie Ever? Die Hard. Drippy sentimentality comes second place to Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber. It's loaded with 80s anachronisms: Japanese corporate dominance, smoking in airports, coke snorting suits, out of place nudity, Run DMC's "Christmas In Hollis" and, obviously, Bruce Willis.
Plus, it's loaded with terrorism when terrorism was fun.
I'm watching it now while I get some "real work" done. Hey, it's a pre-Carl Winslow Reginald Vel Johnson! Fuckin A! No doubt'ÄîBest Christmas Movie Ever.
Speaking of Die Hard, Kudos to Rogue Status for its "Ho Ho Ho" tee, but I'm not sure I'm down enough with the remix to pick it up. Their Dead Bird tee, also from Holiday 07 might look familiar.
Padlock over the back, it's a nice touch. Their "The Man" tee isn't bad either. Still got my copies of The 'Nam stashed away at my parents' house.
Posted: 11/12/2007I just got back from the 2 hour theatrical screening of Battlestar Galatica: Razor, presented by Mass Effect, Xbox 360, Sci Fi, and Zune. What, you don't watch Battlestar? Why must you continue to deny yourself the best modern science fiction made? And to think you call yourself a fan of the genre. All those hours watching Star Trek: the Next Generation were essentially preparation for this series. You're an adult now, and your scifi has grown up as well.
But I digress. I had a hunch Battlestar would make it to the big screen, I just never expected it to happen so soon. I am not complaining, though I do have a couple complaints. Well, maybe that's too strong of a word. I have a couple suggestions. One, the middle of a highly immersive space scifi plot, is not the best time to try to get the audience into your supposedly highly immersive space scifi game plot, Mass Effect. Microsoft decided to inartfully insert a 60 second plug for Mass Effect smack in the middle of the Battlestar screening (chased by the same Zune commercial we saw right before the start of the show). How do you expect everyone to switch gears from the intricate, carefully crafted story arch we were just witnessing to the cheese-wiz of a story of a game… all in 60 seconds? Also, no matter how good the graphics are for your game, they are going to look like ass compared to the CG special effects and real actors we were just watching seconds ago. I felt bad for feeling this way, especially when Mass Effect looks like it shows
hot intergalactic lesbian actionso much promise. It just wasn't the best timing, Microsoft. But I do thank you for sponsoring the event and picking up the tab, thus making it possible. I'll be sure to buy J Allard a drink next time I see him.While we are on the subject of making things possible, how about bringing the BSG series out on Blu-ray? Oh, don't feign being appalled by the mere question. Does it really need to be played as pawn in your silly format war? I have a friend who is not going to buy your HD-DVD player attachment, but I really want them to start spending some quality time with one of the best series ever made.
Posted: 11/10/2007The question has come up a couple times, "Do you have anything to do with those bird cutouts hanging from powerlines all around LA?" I know it stems from the fact I have one hanging above the projector on my fireplace mantle.
The answer is no. I only rescued the poor thing from the beating is was receiving by the traffic on Venice and Overland. I have never personally met the artist responsible for these "berds", but I have since become Internet friends with 4eightyone (according to MySpace). Cool guy. And he asked me to let you know there is an art show tonight in Echo Park featuring another cool guy, Albert Reyes. Maybe I'll see you there.

Plant mating systems in a changing world
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 25, Issue 1, 1 January 2010, Pages 35-43
Christopher G. Eckert, Susan Kalisz, Monica A. Geber, Risa Sargent, Elizabeth Elle, Pierre-Olivier Cheptou, Carol Goodwillie, Mark O. Johnston, John K. Kelly, David A. Moeller, Emmanuelle Porcher, Richard H. Ree, Mario Vallejo-Marín and Alice A. Winn
AbstractThere is increasing evidence that human disturbance can negatively impact plant–pollinator interactions such as outcross pollination. We present a meta-analysis of 22 studies involving 27 plant species showing a significant reduction in the proportion of seeds outcrossed in response to anthropogenic habitat modifications. We discuss the evolutionary consequences of disturbance on plant mating systems, and in particular whether reproductive assurance through selfing effectively compensates for reduced outcrossing. The extent to which disturbance reduces pollinator versus mate availability could generate diverse selective forces on reproductive traits. Investigating how anthropogenic change influences plant mating will lead to new opportunities for better understanding of how mating systems evolve, as well as of the ecological and evolutionary consequences of human activities and how to mitigate them.

Flowering plants under global pollinator decline
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 18, Issue 7, 1 July 2013, Pages 353-359
Michel Thomann, Eric Imbert, Céline Devaux and Pierre-Olivier Cheptou
AbstractThere is now compelling evidence of a reduction of pollinator richness and density at a global scale. In this opinion article, we argue that such pollinator decline intensifies pollen limitation and reduces plant reproductive success, threatening natural populations of extinction. We use genetic architecture and selection experiments on floral traits and evaluate the potential for plant reproductive strategies to adapt rapidly to new pollination environments. We propose that plant reproductive strategies could adapt to the current pollinator decline by decreasing or increasing their reliance to pollinators, for example, increasing autonomous selfing or reinforcing interactions with pollinators. We further discuss if and how adaptation of plant reproductive strategies can buffer the demographic consequences of pollinator decline, and possibly rescue plant populations from extinction.

AbstractWind pollination (anemophily) of angiosperms probably evolved from insect pollination (entomophily) in response to pollinator limitation and changes in the abiotic environment. Recent evidence suggests that ambophily (a combination of both wind and insect pollination) might be more common than was previously presumed and could represent either a stable or transitional state. We review factors favoring the evolution of wind pollination and analyse the extent of specialization towards such pollination. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that anemophily is more likely to evolve in groups with small, simple flowers and dry pollen. Wind-pollinated plants appear to have a bimodal distribution in selfing rates, but further studies recognizing the possibility of a combination of wind and animal pollination within taxa are needed to clarify this relationship.

This article is dedicated to the memory of David Lloyd, who died on May 30, 2006. He made many important contributions to botany, and his theoretical work established clearly the importance of individual selection for understanding breeding system evolution.
- Breeding systems are important, and often neglected, aspects of the natural biology of organisms, affecting homozygosity and thus many aspects of their biology, including levels and patterns of genetic diversity and genome evolution. Among the different plant mating systems, it is useful to distinguish two types of systems: 'sex systems', hermaphroditic versus male/female and other situations; and the 'mating systems' of hermaphroditic populations, inbreeding, outcrossing or intermediate. Evolutionary changes in breeding systems occur between closely related species, and some changes occur more often than others. Understanding why such changes occur requires combined genetical and ecological approaches. I review the ideas of some of the most important theoretical models, showing how these are based on individual selection using genetic principles to ask whether alleles affecting plants' outcrossing rates or sex morphs will spread in populations. After discussing how the conclusions are affected by some of the many relevant ecological factors, I relate these theoretical ideas to empirical data from some of the many recent breeding system studies in plant populations.
