The excitement of the new 2014 Camaro Coupe is unmistakable, even when the car is sitting still. The bold new grille and redesigned rear end add a fresh kind of appeal to the car's athletic style. And then there's what's under the hood. Camaro LS and LT Coupe feature an assertive high-tech V6 that puts out 323 hp and 278 lb.-ft. of torque. Want more? Camaro SS Coupe moves the needle way up, with a burly 6.2-litre V8 that puts up to 426 thoroughbred horses at your disposal.2
No matter which engine you choose, you'll enjoy the precision control of a 4-wheel independent suspension that will help you hug every curve. And for confident stopping, there's a large vented disc brake at every wheel.Slip behind the wheel and you'll find yourself in a sophisticated cockpit that's purpose-built for performance driving. And, just a touch away, Camaro Coupe features the latest technology to keep you connected, entertained and on the cutting edge. The 2014 Camaro Coupe. Excitement is what it's all about.
The new 2014 Coupe takes iconic Camaro styling to a whole new level. At the front, a revised upper grille design helps to emphasize Camaro Coupe's broad, muscular stance. It's complemented by a broad lower grille section that actually improves engine cooling. LT and SS models also feature new projector-beam fog lights as standard equipment.
There are more updates at the rear, with horizontal LED taillights and adjustments to the rear decklid and diffuser. The results? A dramatic and very contemporary new look, plus improved aerodynamics. And here's another example of how form and function live together in the 2014 Camaro Coupe: the bold hood vent on SS models. Not only does it look awesome, it also helps to cool critical components in the engine compartment.
The available RS Package brings the excitement of Camaro Coupe into pinpoint focus. Highlights include eye-catching 20" Midnight Silver-painted aluminum wheels, high-intensity headlights, a body-colour sharkfin antenna and a unique rear spoiler.
Powered by a 323-hp LFX V6 engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, Camaro Coupe 2LS rips from 0-96 km/h in just 6.4 seconds.3 It also has a highway fuel consumption rating of just 6.6 litres of regular gas per 100 kilometres.1 It's a remarkable combination of performance and efficiency that's made possible by advanced technologies like Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing combined to ensure fuel efficiency.
But perhaps raw, unbridled power is what you're after. In that case, Camaro SS Coupe is the car for you. It packs an all-aluminum 6.2L LS3 V8 that puts 426 hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque under your right foot.2
Transform a simple errand into an experience to remember. Camaro Coupe's fully independent suspension and variable-ratio power steering are tuned for optimal chassis response and steering feel. A near-perfect 52/48 front-to-rear weight distribution contributes to both agility and grip.
The exhilarating Camaro experience starts where the rubber meets the road. Beefy, low-profile tires and aluminum wheels are standard on all models. Camaro SS Coupe draws admiring looks with its silver-painted flangeless 20". bright-silver painted aluminum wheels shod with high-performance summer-only Pirelli® PZero® 245/45R20 front and 275/40R20 rear tires.
Paired with the standard 6-speed manual transmission, Camaro SS Coupe's 6.2L V8 delivers 426 hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. Think 0-96 km/h in just 4.7 seconds.3 Or opt for Camaro SS Coupe with the convenience of an electronically-controlled 6-speed automatic transmission. It puts a robust 400 hp at your disposal, yet it features a highway fuel consumption rating of only 8.2 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres.4
For an extra measure of quickness off the line, SS Coupe models equipped with the standard 6-speed manual transmission also feature launch control, which limits wheelspin to optimize traction and acceleration. SS Coupes when equipped with the available 6-speed automatic gearbox includes the added precision of TAPshift® manual controls conveniently mounted on the steering wheel, so you can always select the right gear for any given situation.
To keep the power under control, SS Coupe models feature a performance-tuned suspension with beefy front and rear stabilizer bars. Also standard: a world-class Brembo® braking system featuring a large-diameter ventilated rotor and a 4-piston caliper at every wheel.
In low-speed manoeuvring, Camaro SS Coupe's standard electric variable-effort steering provides a high level of assist for easy handling. At higher speeds the assist level is reduced, so you enjoy a more direct steering feel and increased feedback from the road.
The available ZL1-inspired dual-mode exhaust system also adapts to changing situations. In cruising at steady speeds it's appropriately quiet. Yet when you call for a higher level of performance, the system delivers the aggressive exhaust note you expect from a high-performance sports car.
The first time you strap yourself into Camaro SS, make a mental note of where the hood release is. Trust us, it won't be long until your friends want you to pop the hood and show them what's lurking underneath. Because the Camaro SS packs an engine that everyone will admire.
Since it first appeared on the scene in 1988, driving enthusiasts have coveted the competition-ready Camaro 1LE Performance Package. And it's everything you've heard – combining many of the serious performance elements of the awesome Camaro ZL1 with a track-focused attitude all its own.
Available exclusively on Camaro SS Coupe models with the 6-speed manual transmission, the 1LE Package features a number of important chassis upgrades, including larger stabilizer bars and Goodyear® Eagle® Supercar® G:2 tires borrowed from Camaro ZL1. Also like the ZL1, the close-ratio transmission included with the 1LE Package comes with an air-to-liquid cooling system for added durability in severe on-track conditions.
Inside Camaro Coupe, every detail is about driving. The standard sport bucket seats are designed for long-distance comfort and support. Or if you wish, you can choose the legendary design excellence of available RECARO® performance buckets. Every Camaro Coupe also includes a tilt/telescoping steering column, to help you find precisely the right driving position. And of course the essential gauges are large, designed for clarity and positioned for easy reading.
You'll find you get more than just top-level handling response from Camaro's beefy 3-spoke steering wheel. Buttons on the wheel let you control key audio functions without taking your eyes off the road. There's also standard Bluetooth® wireless technology that helps keep you connected the safer way – hands-free.
The Colour Driver Information Centre – standard on models – is designed to let you monitor your vehicle's vital stats to ensure all systems are a go: tire pressure, oil life, fuel range and more. Camaro 2LT and 2SS Coupe models also include a four-pack of auxiliary instruments, including oil pressure and transmission temperature gauges, to ensure you're always in touch with your car's condition.
Standard on 2LT and 2SS, the colour Head-Up Display (HUD) is a must-have in high-performance driving situations. The HUD projects performance data on the windshield, so you can see it without looking away from the road ahead. HUD displays speed, rpm and more – even your radio station. You can even customize the display height and intensity to your personal preference, so you're always on top of everything you need to know.

"Random yet balanced" is how Cristian Zuzunaga describes the four new colorways he created to mark the 25th anniversary of the Bravoure rug, a classic that combines worsted wool with a thicker woolen thread. The designer channeled both his native Barcelona and the "multicultural world of today" when he devised the new Bravoure Colour renditions. Recolorings had only been done twice before; the shades join dozens of pastels and brights. Bravo! 800-645-3943; kvadrat.dk.

Researchers went to work creating a synthetic version of this plaque-busting protein, and in 2003, they created one. Problem is, the drug is way too expensive to mass produce. Luckily, they also discovered that there are things you can do now to raise your good HDL, and lower your bad LDL cholesterol. The more you learn, and the actions you take today, can actually make a real difference. Let's start with the basics:
'Good' vs. 'Bad' Cholesterol When you have too much fat in your bloodstream, that fat changes changes into 'Bad' LDL cholesterol. Sometimes, 'Bad' LDL cholesterol sticks to the walls of your arteries. Over time, this blocks your arteries, and the blood flow slows down. When the blood flow slows down, you could have chest pain (or not) and/or high blood pressure. When the blood flow stops or is blocked, you could have a heart attack. The other kind of cholesterol, called 'Good' HDL, helps free some of the 'Bad' LDL cholesterol from sticking to the walls of your arteries, allowing your blood to flow better. Simply put; HDL is good, LDL is bad.
What should my level be? The only way to know is to have your blood tested. The National Cholesterol Education Program recommends the following goals for your total Cholesterol levels (HDL & LDL):
'Bad' LDL Level Chart:
is the chart where you can see the corresponding classification
of your
'Bad' LDL
'Bad' LDL
cholesterol is responsible for clogging up your blood
vessels if not regulated properly.
'Good' HDL Level Chart: 'Good' HDL cholesterol must reach a certain level so it is able to counter any coronary risk that your 'Bad' LDL level is posing.
The 3 Factors to Self-Cleaning Arteries: The first factor is hereditary. Some families have livers that make too much LDL cholesterol; if your parents or grandparents had high cholesterol, that may be why you do too. You have no control over this factor. The second way we get cholesterol is through our nutrition (notice we do not uses the word 'diet' as that implies only food). The third is through lifestyle (this includes stress, exercise, sleep, dental hygiene and such). You can't change your genes, but nutrition and lifestyle are things you can change, starting today!

Reviews for Zesty Grilled Ham(5)
Sort By :
Delicious -- not the first time I've made this but this time I added about 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and my whole family thought it was tastier than before! Also, excellent with a Dry Rose wine...
I was a little leary making this recipe for my picky teenage boys as I thought it might be too adventurous but they loved it. I can always tell when they go for seconds and thirds instead of quietly putting their dirty dishes in the dishwasher after the first helping. :)
This is wonderful! Even the kids like it.
Great with eggs on the grill for a campers' morning breakfast! Not alot of ingredients but it packs alot of flavor.
This is such an easy and tasty way to grill ham that I don't think I could get my husband or sons to do it any other way.

Enjoy these stories of God's faithfulness shown through the gifts of these friends. Gifford Myers '55: It's planting time but harvest time is comingIt's planting time, but harvest time is coming! Gifford Myers '53, alumnus, friend and founder of the Northwestern Foundation, planted a lot of seeds in his day. He started out as a preacher and spent over 20 years serving churches in several states. Eventually, he taught at Winnipeg Bible College in Canada. In the early 70s he joined Liberty University and helped organize their systems, served as an associate dean and even traveled with Dr. Jerry Falwell. Myers' work over the years helped prepare him to come back to his alma mater and join University of Northwestern as director of planned giving in 1989. Many ministries still reap the results of Myers' faithful work. Myers recently passed away, and family and friends grieve this loss but take comfort in God's promise, "Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever." (I Corinthians 15:42 NLT) Many things about Myers' legacy remind us of the biblical teaching regarding sowing and reaping, even his life verse: So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. (Galatians 6:9 NLT) This farm boy from South Dakota understood the cycle of planting and reaping: the role long-term thinking—estate planning—plays in Northwestern's financial viability. Myers was a driving force in establishing the Northwestern Foundation to help ensure the future sustainability of Northwestern's 110-year-old mission Myers worked tirelessly "plowing the fields" for "Whatever he did, it was 'all or nothing,'" says Carol, The Apostle Paul explains in I Corinthians 3:6–9 that Today, Northwestern and many other ministries continue to reap blessings from Myers' legacy of planting. Former Foundation president Garth Warren observed that "the soil I was able to cultivate on behalf of the Northwestern Foundation is tremendously fertile because of the great amounts of love and labor that Gifford put into his work during the ten-plus years that he worked so diligently on behalf of our ministry. We are reaping significant financial rewards on a monthly basis. This is in large part due to Gifford's tremendous efforts over the years."

Why I Let My Students Cheat On Their Game Theory Exam
Teaching people game theory is good. Making them live it is even better, says UCLA professor Peter Nonacs.
On test day for my Behavioral Ecology class at UCLA, I walked into the classroom bearing an impossibly difficult exam. Rather than being neatly arranged in alternate rows with pen or pencil in hand, my students sat in one tight group, with notes and books and laptops open and available. They were poised to share each other's thoughts and to copy the best answers. As I distributed the tests, the students began to talk and write. All of this would normally be called cheating. But it was completely OK by me.
Who in their right mind would condone and encourage cheating among UCLA juniors and seniors? Perhaps someone with the idea that concepts in animal behavior can be taught by making their students live those concepts.
The students began to talk and write. All of this would normally be called cheating. It was completely OK by me.Animals and their behavior have been my passions since my Kentucky boyhood, and I strive to nurture this love for nature in my students. Who isn't amazed and entertained by videos of crafty animals, like Betty the tool-making crow, bending wires into hooks to retrieve baskets containing delicious mealworms? (And then hiding her rewards from a lummox of a mate who never works, but is all too good at purloining the hard-won rewards of others?)
Nevertheless, I'm a realist. Almost none of my students will go on to be "me"—a university professor who makes a living observing animals. The vast majority take my classes as a prelude to medical, dental, pharmacy, or veterinary school. Still, I want my students to walk away with something more than, "Animals are cool." I want them to leave my class thinking like behavioral ecologists.
Much of evolution and natural selection can be summarized in three short words: "Life is games." In any game, the object is to win—be that defined as leaving the most genes in the next generation, getting the best grade on a midterm, or successfully inculcating critical thinking into your students. An entire field of study, Game Theory, is devoted to mathematically describing the games that nature plays. Games can determine why ant colonies do what they do, how viruses evolve to exploit hosts, or how human societies organize and function.
So last quarter I had an intriguing thought while preparing my Game Theory lectures. Tests are really just measures of how the Education Game is proceeding. Professors test to measure their success at teaching, and students take tests in order to get a good grade. Might these goals be maximized simultaneously? What if I let the students write their own rules for the test-taking game? Allow them to do everything we would normally call cheating?
A week before the test, I told my class that the Game Theory exam would be insanely hard—far harder than any that had established my rep as a hard prof. But as recompense, for this one time only, students could cheat. They could bring and use anything or anyone they liked, including animal behavior experts. (Richard Dawkins in town? Bring him!) They could surf the Web. They could talk to each other or call friends who'd taken the course before. They could offer me bribes. (I wouldn't take them, but neither would I report it to the dean.) Only violations of state or federal criminal law such as kidnapping my dog, blackmail, or threats of violence were out of bounds.
Gasps filled the room. The students sputtered. They fretted. This must be a joke. I couldn't possibly mean it. What, they asked, is the catch?
"None," I replied. "You are UCLA students. The brightest of the bright. Let's see what you can accomplish when you have no restrictions and the only thing that matters is getting the best answer possible."
They could surf the Web. They could talk to each other. They could offer me bribes.Once the shock wore off, they got sophisticated. In discussion section, they speculated, organized, and plotted. What would be the test's payoff matrix? Would cooperation be rewarded or counter-productive? Would a large group work better, or smaller subgroups with specified tasks? What about "scroungers" who didn't study but were planning to parasitize everyone else's hard work? How much reciprocity would be demanded in order to share benefits? Was the test going to play out like a dog-eat-dog Hunger Games? In short, the students spent the entire week living Game Theory. It transformed a class where many did not even speak to each other into a coherent whole focused on a single task—beating their crazy professor's nefarious scheme.
On the day of the hour-long test they faced a single question: "If evolution through natural selection is a game, what are the players, teams, rules, objectives, and outcomes?" One student immediately ran to the chalkboard, and she began to organize the outputs for each question section. The class divided tasks. They debated. They worked on hypotheses. Weak ones were rejected, promising ones were developed. Supportive evidence was added. A schedule was established for writing the consensus answers. (I remained in the room, hoping someone would ask me for my answers, because I had several enigmatic clues to divulge. But nobody thought that far afield!) As the test progressed, the majority (whom I shall call the "Mob") decided to share one set of answers. Individuals within the Mob took turns writing paragraphs, and they all signed an author sheet to share the common grade. Three out of the 27 students opted out (I'll call them the "Lone Wolves"). Although the Wolves listened and contributed to discussions, they preferred their individual variants over the Mob's joint answer.
In the end, the students learned what social insects like ants and termites have known for hundreds of millions of years. To win at some games, cooperation is better than competition. Unity that arises through a diversity of opinion is stronger than any solitary competitor.
But did the students themselves realize this? To see, I presented the class with one last evil wrinkle two days later, after the test was graded but not yet returned. They had a choice, I said. Option A: They could get the test back and have it count toward their final grade. Option B: I would—sight unseen—shred the entire test. Poof, the grade would disappear as if it had never happened. But Option B meant they would never see their results; they would never know if their answers were correct.
The students learned what social insects like ants and termites have known for hundreds of millions of years: cooperation is better than competition."Oh, my, can we think about this for a couple of days?" they begged. No, I answered. More heated discussion followed. It was soon apparent that everyone had felt good about the process and their overall answers. The students unanimously chose to keep the test. Once again, the unity that arose through a diversity of opinion was right. The shared grade for the Mob was 20 percent higher than the averages on my previous, more normal, midterms. Among the Lone Wolves, one scored higher than the Mob, one about the same, and one scored lower.
Is the take-home message, then, that cheating is good? Well … no. Although by conventional test-taking rules, the students were cheating, they actually weren't in this case. Instead, they were changing their goal in the Education Game from "Get a higher grade than my classmates" to "Get to the best answer." This also required them to make new rules for test-taking. Obviously, when you make the rules there is no reason to cheat. Furthermore, being the rule-makers let students behave in a way that makes us a quintessentially unique species. We recognize when we are in a game, and more so than just playing along, we always try to bend the rules to our advantage.
Morally, of course, games can be tricky. Theory predicts that outcomes are often not to the betterment of the group or society. Nevertheless, this case had an interesting result. When the students got carte blanche to set the rules, altruism and cooperation won the day. How unlike a "normal" test where all students are solitary competitors, and teachers guard against any cheating! What my class showed was a very "human" trait: the ability to align what is "good for me" with what is "good for all" within the evolutionary games of our choosing.
In the end, the students achieved their goal: They earned an excellent grade. I also achieved my goal: I got them to spend a week thinking like behavioral ecologists. As a group they learned Game Theory better than any of my previous classes. In educational lingo, "flipping the classroom" means students are expected to prepare to come to class not for a lecture, but for a question-and-answer discussion. What I did was "flip the test." Students were given all the intellectual tools beforehand and then, for an hour, they had to use them to generate well-reasoned answers to difficult questions.
The best tests will not only find out what students know but also stimulate thinking in novel ways. This is much more than regurgitating memorized facts. The test itself becomes a learning experience—where the very act of taking it leads to a deeper understanding of the subject.

My bosses does not try to trip me up towards accomplishing his goal with bizarre questions and miss information, they only do this in schools. I always thought that to be strange, how a test and its questions could lead you away from the correct answer; in life, my wants boss me to succeed so communication is encourage for clarity.
The schools or teachers would say they are helping you with all the miss information, odd questions, challenging me.
All I know, a person who would pay a person to accomplish a particular goal for them, would have no desire to add cost to accomplishing the project with distracting information.
I also thought many school test was a farce to the reality of life, but a means to help justify the importance of the teacher. I come to school to learn, not to be tricked by the teacher illustrating they are smarter than me. Hello! I am the student and I am trying to learn to accomplish a goal here!
This article was GREAT! As a long time student of game theory and strategy, this was an OUTSTANDING example of both disciplines in action. I hope the students got as much out of the exam - and the cheating - as I did reading the article!
The article gave me tons of really really good ideas about game theory and strategy. The idea of being able to cheat was outstanding - in fact it caused everyone to think strategically and to work as a team (at least for the mob). The added spice of offering to return the test or shred it was brilliant! For me, I definitely would have wanted my test back!
As an employer for many years, it's great to see the pursuit of the best answer in a class. For me, that's the best part of the article and what I hope is replicated in many other classrooms around the world.
The only open question for me is why this prof isn't in the math department, or teaching game theory full time!
Excellent article, and excellent execution of the strategy on the exam!!
I don't think the concept of an open notes/book/laptop/etc test is all that novel. As an engineer, there were few tests (once you hit upper levels) that didn't allow for a notes sheet at a minimum. Some tests even permitted the text books and laptops, depending on the material. I think this what animie was getting at: education is preparation for life. I work as an engineer now, and I certainly am allowed (I think "encouraged" is probably the better word) to use outside resources to get the best answers. I'll admit I never took a "group test", but I've definitely heard of them being administered before.
Nevertheless, this is probably one of the best PopSci articles I've seen recently, because the way that the professor turned his exam into a lesson relevant to the class is absolutely brilliant. The only thing I disagree with is his insistance on saying he allowed the students to "cheat". Cheating means that rules were broken. As the professor, it is up to him to determine what the rules are. So, when he decided to administer an exam where the rule was "there are no rules" (aside from prohibiting illegal behavior), he effectively made "cheating" impossible. It was a brilliant idea, a great example of effective education, and really fun to read about, but there was no cheating.
As a final thought on game theory and test-taking, I would be extremely curious to see the results of an exam where the professor gives a set of literal rules that will be enforced, but encourages students to try things to see what they can get away with (ie, what is not prohibited explicitly is permitted implicitly).
Nisi credideritis, non intelligetis.
This article reminded me of another I read a while back in which the author was trying to explain why South Korea and Finland were topping the world OECD rankings, especially in the maths and sciences. The author mentioned how the philosophy towards education differed in these countries - there being a greater emphasis on promoting equity and cooperation through education - and how it was benefitting the students. The success of these UCLA students seems to support that explanation, and perhaps North American students could benefit if there was a greater emphasis on cooperation in schools as opposed to competition.
One of the best articles I've read in a long time. I believe that critical information should not be memorized word for word, but instead memorized where to find the information. That way it's impossible to make mistakes and if the data is updated, you have the information at hand. In my opinion, that is the best way to learn.
Here is my answer to your exam question:
Natural selection can be regarded as a game. However, we are not the players, but merely the pieces on the board.
The game is solitaire, and nature is the only player.
There are no teams, and the only rules are the laws of physics.
The only objective is the continuation of the game, and the outcome on a personal level is that we are all sacrificial pawns.
I think in the article, though, he marginalized the importance of scroungers. They are an important part of any continued collaboration as they are the traders of ideas they did not make themselves. He takes an idea from party A (as a debt), but to get an idea from party B he trades it for the idea from party A, whom he can now reimburse. All are wealthier than had the lazy scrounger "played fair" and done his own work.
I applaud this professor's effort to teach his students by experience. I, too, am constantly searching for new ways to engage students and to inspire them to actively participate in their education. But let's be clear--the only REAL goal of this experiment was to produce the best answers to a test. Everything else is drawn from inference and is not necessarily supported by the results.
The students as a GROUP learned game theory better than previous classes. What does this mean for the individual? Not every member has to contribute in the intellectual process in order to still be useful to the group. The issue of "parasites" aside, a member could conceivably act as a "secretary" of the group, or a go-between to facilitate communication between sub-groups, never engaged in the intellectual process itself, but still contributing to the overall efficiency of the group. In fact, this is how societies work on both a macro and micro level. Leaders emerge to direct a nation; CEO's manage companies; and beneath all the hegemony and innovation is a team of "workers" whose value to the system is immense, but who are directly engaged with little, if any, conceptual or innovative activity.
The above experiment replicates this scenario, and the three "lone wolves" provide evidence in support of this. Having prepared for the exam on their own, two were able to score just as high or higher than the group, and one scored lower. The two who scored on par with the group undermine the value of the group's success to the individual. Meanwhile, the one who scored lower raises the question whether every member of the group would still be able to score high, even after benefitting from the group dynamic. Things get more complicated when we consider that the "lone wolves" could see and hear the actives of the group, and so benefit from them to some degree.
There is also evidence in the fact that the students hesitated to see the results of their test. The hesitation comes from an internal deliberation over whether or not to trust the group--that is, to leave one's fate in the hands of others. Some will be eager to do so, knowing full well that they could not score as high on their own. Others will pause, wondering to themselves whether their scores were brought down, either because they felt some of their fellow group members were less prepared or simply because they still don't agree with some of the answers on the test. Each of these scenarios points to the possibility that the students did not absorb the material on an individual basis.
The real test of this experiment would be if the instructor issued another test similarly designed to apply their knowledge of game theory, and see if indeed scores improve without the support of a group.
Of course, this is all interpretation drawn from inference, but so is anything else that we say about this experiment aside from one fact alone: the group produced a higher than average score on a test. The issues I've raised are important, in my opinion, because they raise questions about the teaching philosophy of the university, especially one that declares itself to be an elite school with a highly selective enrollment process. Are these institutions designed to train workers or leaders? Do we want students to innovate or to be wholly subsumed in a system? The reality is that most university student will not find themselves in positions of leadership or as innovators, but should that influence the university's teaching philosophy? My answer is "No." And so an experiment such as the one above, while certainly exciting, requires a bit more scrutiny to see if it fits the objectives of university education. Indeed, it's precisely because of how exciting it is that I believe it deserves close examination.
As much as I'd like on the 'education is broken and isn't anything like the real world' bandwagon with you...
While it is probably true that a boss or client wouldn't intentionally hinder your progress, your argument fails with the assumption the motive is significant. Just because someone isn't trying to trick you or make things difficult, doesn't mean that they won't change their mind or have a failure in communication. Being adaptable through adversity is an incredibly valuable skill that would not be learned if educators were holding your hand and not introducing new challenges.
I think 'he marginalized the importance of scroungers' because only 3 people weren't with the group. When almost everyone is already openly working together a scrounger doesn't have value. That said, being a scrounger earned me my engineering degree.

Endangered Species
Many species of plants and animals are threatened with extinction due to habitat loss. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 was created to protect these animals. It is illegal to trade, kill, hunt, collect, harass, harm, pursue, shoot, trap, wound or capture species designated as endangered, or in danger of extinction, such as threatened, rare, and species of concern. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for listing the hundreds of species in decline.
Be aware of the endangered or threatened species found in your riding area that are protected by a "safe haven". These protect them from human development, and creates an environment where they are allowed to survive and flourish.
Here are just a few endangered animals you might encounter while riding: brown pelican, manatee, southern sea otter, wood, stork, American alligator and whales.

Hull Citybuild announced the winner of the competition for a new landmark opening footbridge in Hull, East Yorkshire to be McDowell+Benedetti. This new footbridge is designed to link the historic city center on the West Bank to a newly developed area on the East called "The Boom". It features a world-first, allowing the experience of riding on the bridge while it's opening, and a round-shaped indoor space on the West Bank, which allows various activities such as meetings, exhibitions and cafes. This unique zoomorphic form and dorsal-like skylight give a strong impression as one huge sculpture, together with its tactile texture of black recycled rubber finish. It will provide not only pedestrian convenience and a strong visual landmark, but also exciting experiences and Hull's riverscape.

► Satb1/Satb2 double deficiency is compatible with normal early embryonic development ► Female mice lacking Satb proteins undergo proper dosage compensation ► Female Satb1/Satb2-deficient somatic cells contain a silenced X chromosome ► Satb1/Satb2 expression does not correlate with competence for X inactivation
Satb1 and Satb2 have been recently described as regulators of embryonic stem (ES) cell pluripotency and as silencing factors in X chromosome inactivation. The influence of the pluripotency machinery on X chromosome inactivation and the lack of an X chromosome inactivation defect in Satb1−/− and Satb2−/− mice raise the question of whether or not Satb proteins are directly and/or redundantly involved in this process. Here, we analyzed X chromosome inactivation in fibroblastic cells that were derived from female Satb1−/−Satb2−/− embryos. By fluorescence in situ hybridization to visualize Xist RNA and by immunohistochemistry to detect H3K27me3 histone modifications, we found that female Satb1−/−Satb2−/− fibroblastic cells contain proper Barr bodies. Moreover, we did not detect an upregulation of X-linked genes, suggesting that Satb proteins are dispensable for X chromosome inactivation in mice.

IRVING - Driving along the New York State Thruway the past four months, the roadside has been bare without the Big Indian statue on Milestrip Road in Irving. Motorists can look out for the statue once again to know the Silver Creek exit is coming, since it has returned to its home.
Big Indian Smoke Shop Owner Cyrus Schindler said the statue was put back up along the Thruway last week. Schindler was pleased.
"It looked bare out there without it," Schindler said in a phone interview.

The Big Indian statue which stands at the Big Indian Smoke Shop on Milestrip Road in Irving is back overlooking the Thruway.
The statue was vandalized in early June causing damage to the feet, arms, upper chest and headdress.
Vandals cut the feet off the statue when they could not get the bolts undone and tried to drag the statue to the Thruway to steal. However, the 28-foot-tall statue was too big of an undertaking and was left in the ditch adjacent to the Thruway. The statue has been stored in Schindler's warehouse since the incident.
The vandals were able to get away with the hand though. The vandals were caught but Schindler did not want to release their identities but they did pay for damages.
"They did help pay for the repairs," Schindler said.
Repairs to the statue, which is made out of fiberglass, started after the vandalism and were just completed last week. Schindler said many were asking when the statue would be put back.
"It's fiberglass. It's a slow (repair) process. You have to dry it and sand it," Schindler said. "We got (the statue) back up as soon as we could."
The statue has been overlooking the Thruway for 12 years. An identical statue stands in the front of the store but has been taken down due to weather damage. That statue is still in the process of being repaired and will be put back upon completion.

From this screen you can delete individual fields by clicking the trash can icon.
You can also reorder the fields by holding your fingertip down on the arrows icon to the right and dragging the field up or down in the list.

This book uncovers the biggest scientific fraud of our age. It tells the fascinating and frequently astounding story of how the massive enterprise to restructure the genetic core of the world's food supply came into being, how it advanced by consistently violating the protocols of science, and how for more than three decades, hundreds of eminent biologists and esteemed institutions have systematically contorted the truth in order to conceal the unique risks of its products -- and get them onto our dinner plates.
This book reveals that the biggest scientific fraud of our time does not involve change in the climate but changes to our food. It tells the fascinating and frequently astounding story of how the massive enterprise to restructure the genetic core of the world's food supply came into being, how it advanced by consistently violating the protocols of science, and how for more than three decades, hundreds of eminent biologists and scores of esteemed institutions have systematically contorted the truth in order to conceal the unique risks of its products -- and get them onto our dinner plates.
Winner of the 2013 James Beard Foundation Book Award for Reference and Scholarship, The Art of Fermentation is the most comprehensive guide to do-it-yourself home fermentation ever published.

When the U.S. Public Health Service endorsed water fluoridation in 1950, there was little evidence of its safety. Now, six decades later and after most countries have rejected the practice, many cities and towns across the United States continue to fluoridate their water supply and the Center for Disease Control and the American Dental Association continue to endorse it, despite increasing evidence that it is not only unnecessary, but potentially hazardous to human health.

Adobe wants Windows, Mac and Linux users to install a critical security update, issued Thursday, for Adobe's Flash Player. Without it, the company says, there are vulnerabilities in the program that could "cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control" of the computer.
The fix is also urged for phone and tablet users of the Android operating system versions 4.x, 3.x and 2.x. (That accounts for nearly every Android phone currently in use.)
Adobe said last year that Flash wouldn't be coming to Android 4.1 or later. As NBCNews.com's Devin Coldewey wrote then, "Many websites still use Flash for media delivery or navigation, and have yet to update to HTML5 and other, more future-oriented, standards."
The patch for computers is available here; Android users are instructed to check their Flash version by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Adobe Flash Player x.x. The latest Flash version for Android 4.0 is 22.214.171.124; and for Android 2.x and 3.x is 220.127.116.11.
One of the Flash attacks "is targeting aerospace and other manufacturing companies, and is being delivered via infected Microsoft Office documents," Michael Mimoso, of Kaspersky Lab, wrote on the company's Threatpost blog Friday.
Those attacks use spear-phishing emails — essentially booby-trapped emails designed to infect a user's computer of phone — to "trick victims into opening Word file attachments that are carrying an embedded .SWF Flash Player file," Mimoso wrote.
"The SWF files used in the exploit work only against certain versions of Flash and operating systems; they also reference a character in the video game 'Dishonored' called Lady Boyle in the name of the action script embedded in the SWF file."
Jaime Blasco, of AlienVault Labs, wrote on that company's blog that one of the files was using the 2013 IEEE Aerospace Conference schedule "as a lure to trick the user into opening the file."
Web-based attacks playing to the Flash vunerability, in contrast, are mainly "drive-by downloads where attackers lure victims to a website hosting the malicious Flash file," Mimoso wrote. "Adobe said the attacks are limited to Firefox or Safari, and can also be delivered via Word document attachments."
If you have questions about Flash, Adobe's online community forum is one resource to find more answers. If you're not sure which version of Flash you're running or need to run, you can visit this Adobe page to check.

Definition of ketene in English:
Syllabification: ke·tenePronunciation: /ˈkēˌtēn
Chemistry- 1A pungent colorless reactive gas, used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis.
- Chemical formula: C2H2O
More example sentences- The structure of the collagen in the tissue may partially mask some of the available nucleophilic amine sites, whereas water may compete with the amines for the reactive ketene amide intermediate.
- In addition, we showed that a novel, light-activated DAP derivative could, on photolysis, chemically cross-link tissue through the reactions of the ketene intermediate.
- It was reasoned that the free amino groups on lysine and hydroxylysine, known to be present in Type-I collagen, served as the primary nucleophilic sites for the ketene amide intermediate.
