Intercrop soybeans a financial boost over double-crop soybeans
"Intercropped soybeans have more growing degree days, with more time to establish and set seeds," he said. "Intercropped soybeans this year are at R4 to R5 growth stage now compared to double crop soybeans, which are at R2 stage now."
Tips to consider when intercropping soybeans into wheat, Prochaska said, include:
- Wheat row spacing modification to allow soybean planting equipment to pass without running down plants should be made in the fall. Optimal wheat row spacing for modified relay intercropping ranges from 10 to 20 inches. As wheat row spacing widens, wheat yields may decline, research has shown.
- Various row configurations can be used to allow soybean planting equipment. Some wheat producers have slide row units to a 6-inch row spacing with a 14-inch planting strip for soybeans.
- Producers can use corn or soybean planters to sow wheat using a 15-inch row configuration.
- Row spacing data suggests that wheat is an adaptable plant that will yield well over various row spacing's up to 15 inches.
- Use a tram line to accommodate soybean planting and allow for better wheat management via fertilizer, herbicide and/or fungicide applications. Generally, the tram line will be set up for the modified relay intercropping tractor tires.
- Planter equipment tires can be moved if necessary to follow tractor tires.
- Wheat culture for modified relay intercropping, outside of row spacing modification, should remain the same as for monoculture wheat.
For more information on modified relay intercropping or the field night, contact Prochaska at 740-223-4041 or firstname.lastname@example.com or Hartschuh at 419-562-8731 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Study: As many as one in 40 babies born with defect
As many as one in 40 babies is born with a birth defect in England and Wales, according to the most comprehensive study of the issue to date.
The most common anomalies are congenital heart defects, which affect at least six in every 1,000 babies.
Those suffering heart problems can require major surgery, and around 6 percent of babies with a heart defect die before their first birthday.
The report, by researchers at Queen Mary University of London in conjunction with theBritish Isles Network of Congenital Anomaly Registers, collated data from six regional registers, giving a national coverage of 36% of all births.
Researchers then provided estimates to flesh out the other regions of England and Wales.

The newborn that was found in a trash can last month has been released from the hospital. The Department of Social Services says the child is in good condition and has been placed with a foster family.
The boy's mother, 28-year-old Sharon Ferguson of Greenville, is accused of attempted murder and willful neglect after police say she dumped him in a trash can moments after giving birth.
Reports show Ferguson gave birth on April 21, inside a vacant home on Chaney Street in the Nicholtown community. Afterwards, they say she wrapped the boy in a plastic bag and a blanket and placed him in the trash can near the back of the house.
Police say she then walked to a Laurens Road liquor store where she was later taken into custody. Ferguson is being held on 125,000 dollars bond at the Greenville Detention Center.
This is not the first case of a baby being abandoned in the Upstate. In 2011, a woman gave birth in a bathroom stall at the Bi-Lo center. Police say the child was found abandoned in the toilet. The child's mother, Jessica Blackham, pled guilty to two counts of felony child abuse and one count of unlawful neglect of a child. She was sentenced to home detention and drug and alcohol counseling.
South Carolina has a "Safe Haven Law." You may leave a baby up to 30 days old with an employee on duty at any hospital, EMS provider, law enforcement agency, fire station, or any worship center. The child must be unharmed and the person leaving the child can remain anonymous.Related:

Wales on 'brink of youth business boom'
Wales could be on the brink of a youth business boom, according to a new report. A study by the Prince's Trust and RBS shows that a quarter of Wales' young people believe they will be self-employed in the future. Around a quarter also said they expect to be their own boss in the next five years.
Twenty-five percent of young people included in the survey also say they are thinking of setting up their own business.
– Lesley Kirkpatrick, director of The Prince's Trust in Wales
"This research reveals an increasingly entrepreneurial mood among young people in Wales. Five years on from the start of the recession, youth unemployment remains high and many are seeing self-employment as a way to break the cycle of joblessness.
"Setting up in business can be tough - but at The Prince's Trust we have a 30-year track record of helping disadvantaged young people succeed in work and self-employment, no matter what their background. It is critical we nurture young people's passion for business and invest in the next generation."

Last year the Notre Dame hockey team ended their season with a bitter taste in their mouth.
The Irish Icers went in today the NCAA tournament as a number one seed, but got bounced in the first round by St. Cloud State in a 5-1 loss.
In a strange twist of fate, ND found out Sunday afternoon they'd be playing the same Huskies team in round one of the tournament this year.
Notre Dame's seniors are saying they still haven't gotten rid of that rotten feeling from last year, and they're expecting to be extra motivated when the puck drops this coming Saturday at 9:00PM.
"The fact that it's senior year is motivation enough. You know we were so close freshman year to brining the first national championship home and falling so short last year and two years ago not even making the tournament, it's motivation enough that we have one more crack at it," said defenseman Stephen Johns. "To be able to go as deep as possible in this tournament would be huge for this program and hopefully we can bring home a national championship. I think we all understand there's a big job ahead of us Saturday night and that's the first thing we need to focus on."
The game will be telecast on ESPNU for Notre Dame fans who do not make the trip to Minneapolis to follow the Irish hockey team.

UNCW Press Release
MALIBU, Calif. – UNCW sophomore starter Evan
Phillips turned in another strong start for the Seahawks, but Pepperdine was
able to take advantage of a two-out rally in the sixth inning to win 2-1 on
Tuesday at Eddy D. Field.
The Waves ran their record to 9-3 with the non-conference win and their seventh
straight at home. The Seahawks saw their mark dip to 5-6 with the road loss.
Pepperdine used seven pitchers in the midweek test with Jayson Balades (2-0)
picking up the win. Phillips (1-2) took the loss for UNCW after allowing two
runs, one earned, on five hits and three walks. He finished with a season-high
four strikeouts.
Bryan Langlois, Brad Anderson and Aaron Barnett each had two hits for
Pepperdine, who outhit the Seahawks, 7-6, in the pitcher's duel.
Six different Seahawks had a hit on the afternoon. Robbie Thorburn plated
UNCW's lone run of the game with a sacrifice fly in the sixth that scored Casey
Golden, who tripled earlier in the inning.
How it happened: In the sixth, pinch hitter Brandon Caruso lined a two-out
single to centerfield with the bases loaded to tie the game and a throwing
error to third allowed the second and eventual game-winning run to score.
Inside the box score: UNCW was 0-for-5 in RBI opportunities while Pepperdine
was 1-for-10 … Both teams combined to strand 15 runners on base (UNCW 5, Pep
Notes: Corey Dick extended his hitting streak to seven games while Dillon Bass
reached base safely for the ninth game-in-a-row with a single … Phillips saw
his ERA drop to 1.62 on the season.
Up next: The Seahawks return to Brooks Field on Friday for the first of a three-game series with VCU. First-pitch is set for 4 p.m.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson will sit out the team's season finale versus the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
With Johnson missing practice all week and with the Lions out of contention, it's easy to see why they would rest their superstar in a meaningless game. Johnson has missed practices -- and in some cases, games -- throughout the season due to a sprained knee, and offseason surgery could be in his future. But for now, Johnson is getting a head start on his recovery.
Fantasy Spin: With Johnson ailing, the Lions will rely on a receiving committee of Kris Durham, Nate Burleson and Kevin Ogletree to pick up the slack versus a porous Vikings defense. Joique Bell owners would do well to flex him this week, as screens could come with regularity with a depleted receiving corps. Joseph Fauria is also worth a look at tight end with Brandon Pettigrew deactivated as well.
As for Johnson, much will depend on his recovery to determine his fantasy value going forward, but nothing has happened that would bump him from being the first wide receiver off of the board. His long-term value remains at a premium after finishing 2013 with 84 catches, 1,492 yards and 12 touchdowns in 14 games.

Thursday, 05 May 2011 07:23 AM
WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden and top lawmakers are beginning their quest to tame the spiraling U.S. debt with small steps aimed at finding what common ground might exist in vastly different approaches toward restructuring government spending.
Biden and a bipartisan team of congressional negotiators were to meet Thursday at Blair House, the government guesthouse across the street from the White House.
With a deficit that could reach $1.6 trillion this year, both sides set modest expectations. But they said the meeting offers a chance to identify even small spending cuts that can build toward a broader agreement.
"There will be no announcement after that meeting that a deal has been reached, because this is a process," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
Neither side seems to have any preconceptions that the talks would lead to a far-reaching restructuring of major benefit programs like Medicare or Medicaid or to an overhaul that makes the tax system simpler but yields more revenue.
The talks come as Congress begins to consider raising the debt ceiling above its current $14.3 trillion limit. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has effectively taken some pressure off the talks by informing Congress this week that the government could continue to meet its obligations through Aug. 2.
Still, all sides — the White House and Democrats and Republicans in Congress — agree that spending cuts need to be approved in conjunction with must-pass legislation increasing the government's ability to borrow to pay its bills. Treasury said Wednesday that the government is borrowing an average of $125 billion a month.
The meeting will unfold with Obama enjoying a new boost in public approval following the killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. commandos in Pakistan. But government spending and the condition of the economy were the dominant public issues before Sunday's assault on the al-Qaida leader and will return to the forefront in time.
The meeting is designed to have all sides place their plans on the table, narrow the focus to areas of common ground and begin setting up a framework for discussions. Republicans will come bearing a detailed House budget proposal that aims to cut spending by more than $5 trillion over the next decade. Biden will flesh out a broad budget proposal that President Barack Obama outlined last month that would reduce deficits by $4 trillion over 12 years.
"We staked out our position in a very definite way. They haven't," said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, who will represent House Republicans. "So we need to understand where they're coming from."
In addition to Biden, the administration will be represented by Geithner, White House budget director Jacob Lew and Gene Sperling, the director of the White House National Economic Council.
"We're at an important point here where Republicans and Democrats alike share, recognize the problem — that's important," Carney said. "They share the same end goal, which is $4 trillion in deficit reduction. And they share the same general idea of what the timeline should be, 10 to 12 years."
But Obama's plan calls for about $1 trillion in higher tax revenues, a nonstarter with House Republicans. At the same time, a GOP plan to slash Medicaid and turn Medicare into a program in which future beneficiaries receive subsidies to purchase private health insurance is dead with the White House and Democrats.
Six lawmakers planned to attend: Cantor; Senate GOP Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona; Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii; Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont.; and senior House Democrats Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland.
Some Republicans hope to attach legislation sponsored by Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., to the so-called debt limit bill. Their proposal would cap spending at about 21 percent of the size of the economy, backed up by automatic spending cuts if Congress is unable to enact legislation that brings spending in under the cap.
The White House strongly opposes the idea, saying it would force drastic, across-the-board cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid while doing nothing to force lawmakers to clean out a tax code laden with tax breaks.
"Arbitrary spending caps are nothing but a backdoor means of imposing immediate and deep cuts in Medicare and Social Security," said Kenneth Baer, spokesman for the White House budget office.
Cantor wouldn't dismiss the idea, but he said Republicans want something concrete immediately.
"All that is fine, but the history of Congress has been that anytime you put enforcement mechanisms in place like that, ultimately they're waived," he said. "We're about trying to effect real cuts, real reforms this year."

|Steelers safety Troy Polamalu hasn't cut his hair in eight years.
|More on Hairy Issue
NFL owners will consider a proposal to ban players from having hair flow from their helmets below their names on the back of their jerseys.
• Clayton: Owners to look at hair length
• Zoom Gallery: Wild NFL hair
• Hashmarks: League out of touch
• Granderson: No fun league
• What do you think?
"That would work," Harris says. "Nobody has ever gotten hurt from having their hair pulled." Exactly. So here's to hoping nobody gets clipped. Seth Wickersham is a senior writer for ESPN The Magazine and a columnist for ESPN.com.

I'm looking for a workaround to allow many users (100+) to download my paid app via a unique code of some kind.
I'm aware of Apple's limit of 50 per release but this will not be enough. Is there a way to gift an app en masse? What about a third-party solution for promo codes? If you've successfully found a way around this limitation, please let me know.

Digitimes Research: Global white-box tablet shipments down in 1Q14
Anthony Chen, DIGITIMES Research, Taipei [Monday 12 May 2014]
There were 20.4 million white-box tablets shipped globally in the first quarter of 2014, decreasing by 27.4% on quarter and by 2.4% on year, according to Digitimes Research.
The decrease in shipments was mainly because most white-box vendors are based in China and there were fewer working days in the first quarter due to the Lunar New Year holidays, Digitimes Research pointed out.
Of the shipments, 7-inch models accounted for 70.5%, 7.85/7.9-inch ones 21.3%, 8- to 9-inch ones 4.2%, above 9- to 10-inch 2.9%, above 10-inch 1.1%.
Due to strong demand in emerging markets including India, Indonesia, Thailand, Russia and Eastern Europe, global white-box tablet shipments in the second quarter of 2014 will increase 14.2% on quarter and 45.6% on year to 23.3 million units.

Setting the X Factor in Price Cap Regulation Plans
AbstractDespite the popularity of price cap regulation in practice, the economic literature provides relatively little guidance on how to determine the X factor, which is the rate at which inflation -adjusted output prices must fall under price cap plans. We review the standard principles that inform the choice of the X factor, and then consider important extensions. We analyze appropriate modifications of the X factor: (1) when only a subset of the firm's products are subject to price cap regulation, and when product-specific costs and productivity cannot be measured; (2) when the pricing decisions of the regulated firm affect the economy-wide inflation rate; and (3) in the presence of structural changes in the industry, such as a strengthening of competitive forces.

This summer, the UK has seen some great sunny spells. Naturally, we don't want it to end, and there's still time to grab some quality sunshine close to home, before peak winter-sun prices kick in. Here's our pick of value-driven destinations that are all within a few hours' flight and offer a generous amount of rays.
Croatia: With rugged coastlines, cute fishing harbours and unspoilt islands, the Adriatic coastline of Croatia offers comfortable climes well into November. A range of budget carriers fly there now, including easyJet and Ryanair. Combine a flight with B&B stays for a flexible trip with as many or as few stops as you like.
Madeira: An island once sought by the more mature traveller, Madeira is now praised for its upmarket hotels and year-round sunshine. The luscious green landscapes are a favourite for walking enthusiasts, and whale-watching tours also depart from some points of the island. Prices tend to soar at the very end of the year, but many tour operators offer competitive packages up until November.
Morocco: North Africa sizzles during mid-summer, but carries a more bearable amount of heat into the winter months. easyJet flies to Marrakesh, for a city break of dizzying proportions. Get lost in the myriad souks and bazaars in the Old Town, and sample the modern Arabic-fusion restaurants of the surrounding areas. The seaside resort of Agadir is also a popular winter choice for sandy beaches and temperatures that average 22 degrees.
Southern Italy & Sicily: The southern region of Italy is blessed with gentle, sunny weather in our colder months. With the addition of budget airline service to many of the airports dotted along the coast, it's easy now to grab a cheap flight to hotspots such as Reggio Calabria and Sicily to experience some laid-back Mediterranean charm.
If you fancy spreading your wings further in search of some early winter sun, consider The Gambia, Egypt and Cyprus — all are between five and seven hours away and offer escapes from the onset of the winter chills.

Activity 4A
Life Time Line
Students complete a time line showing the appearance and extinction of major types of fauna. Students also make forecasts into the future using time lines (see The People's Time Line in the History section).
2 hours.
Of the millions, perhaps billions, of species that have lived on Earth, only a tiny fraction are alive today. Many (but not all) scientists think that mass extinctions were caused by asteroids crashing into Earth. The age of dinosaurs passed 65 million years ago and growing evidence shows that it coincided with an asteroid that struck the Earth in what is now the West Indies. Other extinctions were caused by changing weather regimes and competition with species that occupied similar niches. In all cases, however, a species becomes extinct because it cannot adapt to changing circumstances.
The Earth is currently undergoing one of its most accelerated periods of extinction. Unlike all other known extinction phases, a single species, humans, is responsible. Species which are not able to adapt to human-caused changes are becoming extinct daily.
Perhaps if we become more knowledgeable about our evolutionary history, our concern for the species with which we share the Earth will grow.
We recommend that you first conduct the People's Time Line activity in the Cultural History section.
Part I - Life Time Line
Have the students make a time line showing the major biological features of several geologic periods.
Part 2 - Craters Life Labels
Have the students make and illustrate the following labels and attach them to the People's Time Line.
Part 3 - Future Time Line
Give each student about one or two feet of time line and instruct them to make a time line into the future using whichever time scale they want. For example, their time line could go from "Present" to "2 million years from now" or only "10 years from now." Students illustrate their time line with words and pictures explaining their predictions of the future.
Part 4 - Link Time Lines
Link the four time lines on your wall with string or yarn to show the temporal relationships between them. For example,
Did You Know?
Moonscape?...At first glance the landscape of Craters of the Moon appears to be devoid of life. Look deeper and you will observe a rich diversity of life including more than 750 types of plants and almost 300 animal species (not including insects!). More...

My daughter Lainey is 5 years old, and I love her. Since , the family was due for a nice restaurant, so we ventured into Boston and dined at Legal Harborside.
"There's a spot!" Lainey yelled as I drove down Seaport Boulevard.
"Nope," she groaned. "Hydrant."
We parked in a lot, which was cheap for Boston, and crossed the street to Legal for lunch.
The windows and floors of the restaurant sparkled, a fountain pond teemed with fish, the bar towered with wine and an elevator serviced three entire floors. Obviously, this was the flagship of the Legal Sea Food franchise.
We were seated at a scenic ground-floor table beside a wall of windows, and soon the action in the harbor caught Lainey's eye.
"A boat! A boat! Look!" she pointed.
The menu featured throwback items from the original Legal Sea Foods, est. 1968, as well as great kids' choices. Everyone's food tasted wonderful including Lainey's pasta, and between bites, she noticed another attraction.
"Can I go fishing?" Lainey exclaimed.
The fountain in the lobby doubled as a catch-and-release fishing pond. A restaurant employee, dressed in orange chest waders, stood by with two mini fishing poles. Once Lainey finished eating, she ran over, and the man baited her hook with a pellet. Lainey tapped the line-release button on her rod, and her hook plunked into the water.
"Here comes a fish!" I exclaimed.
A foot-long trout approached and avoided Lainey's line. Then another fish passed by, and another.
"I don't think they're hungry," I said.
"Let's check out the retractable roof!" my wife suggested, knowing Joey could .
"No!" Lainey said. "I'm fishing!"
And so we waited.
"Catch anything lately?" I asked the employee.
"Caught two yesterday," he said.
"Only two?" I exclaimed.
He explained how this batch of trout had been used for weeks and got wise.
Lainey held her pole and watched the fish swim by. her, but only fished a minute and quit.
"Come on, Lainey!" my wife said. "Let's go see the view upstairs."
Lainey looked up sadly and mumbled, "Fine."
Unfortunately this story doesn't end by catching the big one, but we had fun and ate some good food. Lainey impressed me with her patience and determination. Guess we're due for a fishing now.

Postpartum Depression Health Center
Beating a Bad Case of the 'Baby Blues'
Postpartum depression expert Marie J. Hayes, PhD, says that modern society fails to support women in the year following the birth of a child. The University of Maine psychologist, who was not involved in the O'Hara study, says the study findings support her theory that lack of social support is the reason why more women than ever before are developing postpartum depression.
"There has been an erosion of support to the point that women are actually alienated just after giving birth," Hayes tells WebMD. "So women are left with the same level of responsibility as [before giving birth], but with additional needs for physical and psychological recovery as well as the need to establish the entire nutritional support for the infant. ... What's going on is that [doing the right things as a mother] is something the brain is predisposed to do ... but this can be derailed in an environment that is not presenting the proper cues of social and physical support."
Interpersonal psychotherapy, Hayes says, addresses part of this problem by helping women get some of the social support they need after the birth of a child. However, she says that it takes care of only one part of the problem.
"It doesn't necessarily say to the woman that the responsibility for her roles should be on break," Hayes suggests. "There should be a significant, programmed break in her postpartum responsibilities -- and some help with the baby. I think [interpersonal psychotherapy] is certainly barking up the right tree in terms of addressing the woman's social support. But it still is putting the onus on the woman -- it says to her, 'You are not adjusting, lets see why.' I am saying it is the culture's responsibility to wake up to the fact that mothers' needs are being systematically denied."
O'Hara is following the women who participated in the study -- and their children -- to see whether psychotherapy has long-term benefits.

Can someone explain to me why "What do you wish happened in real life that in in anime?" was reported and locked? The opening post didn't contribute their own answer to this question, but I think that is okay, some more modest forumers might not want to hog the spotlight.
It's not about the gramatical mistake is it?
I thought that was a somewhat interesting topic and felt like replying. Is it a topic that has already been covered before?
This forum kind of scares me with the moderation and rule enforcement. Usually, I don't have to read forum rules, they're just intrinsicly known and it has always worked out nicely (possibly due to the effort made by great moderators).
edit: Just realized this thread belongs in Announcements & Teh Rules, though I'm not even sure if I can post threads there.

Did that answer your question? Well, that's kind of the point. When someone has a discussion, it's usually customary they share their side of it first. It's not "hogging the spotlight", but common courtesy.
One-liners will turn this place into Crunchyroll, and many of us don't want that. Kids can go there and post.
When someone takes the time to offer their point of view, it can set the tone for the rest of the discussion.
Seeing a thread made of one-liners makes me want to slap anyone who makes them, no matter what forum they're on.
It's stupid, frankly.
Now, some good news! If you really enjoy the idea, start the thread yourself, now that you know what it takes to keep it open.

|Okay, I get it. I kind of dislike this forum, nothing personal, I actually like (some of) the people here... okay... there are people that I hate here. hmmm... I wont say any more than that, I'll just be on my merry way.

Yes, as mentioned, it is customary for the person initiating the thread to actually start the conversation. A grammatical error I am perfectly capable of fixing if it becomes an issue, I'm not going to lock a thread because of a grammatical error in its title. It was locked because the original poster did not even contribute to their own discussion.
If you find the idea interesting then you are more than welcome to start up a thread on the topic. It is an interesting topic to discuss, the discussion just needs to be initiated in a way that actually fosters discussion. It may seem like we're being a bit tough, and maybe we are, but there was a time these kinds of threads were opened constantly and they never went anywhere since the OP's made no effort to promote an actual discussion and they just drowned out other threads. We would rather have a page of valid and active threads than 10 pages of one-liners and discussions that never were because the initiator never tried. I'm sorry this makes you dislike the forum, but we can't please everyone I'm afraid to say.

|My personal perspective is that "Discuss this topic now! Begin!" threads always rub me the wrong way. It always strikes me as being akin to saying "Do my bidding! Dance my puppets!".

Did you bother to actually look at the thread you're complaining about? Because Keonyn spelled it out quite clearly there.

|ANN may seem like an unwelcoming place at first, but because of that it's one of the few places you can discuss anime without getting much fanboyism; for that I'd recommend CR, which isn't bad per se, but generally lacks in-depth discussion.

|You want to know why it was reported? I reported it, because it wasn't a discussion. It was "here's an idea, talk about it for me to watch." ANN requires threads to be discussions. Pure and simple. The thread broke the rules.

|I am actually quite glad that ANN is not like Crunchyroll's forum or all those millions of other forums on the web. This is the only forum I ever post on because of how "clean" it is here (by clean I mean not full of garbage one liner topics). If you don't like the rules here then feel free to go post on the other million forums out there that allow nonsensical, repetitive, unintelligent, all caps, one liner posts. Nobody is making you stay.

Similar to Rukiia, I am very glad Anime News Network isn't similar to Crunchyroll or mass amount of forums similar to that. I've been to a great deal of forums, but ANN is the only forum I've really come back to after a while (actually since 2008) as this is easily the only forum I've been to that really maintains the website.
One liners after a while become tedious, as just saying why show XYZ is good or why manga XYZ is okay doesn't really promote discussion.
If you don't really like the rules of ANN, well that is your prerogative. There is a great deal of forums that aren't even moderated and or have minimal rules. You can always leave ANN if you don't wan to stay.

Every anime forum I've ever been to has people who say stuff like this, from Anime Web Turnpike's affiliates off to GameFAQs to /a/. Every forum thinks they're the best and the rest are the worst. There's no such thing as a best anime forum because all forums have their good and bad. ANN's bad is everytime you post it feels like you're navigating a mine field Never know when you'll set one off and it'll get destroyed. I almost want to say it's as bad as ToonZone in that regard. Almost. Now that's a really sensitive place; got a huge warning just because I said I didn't like flash animation and found it dull. Sheeesh. Their reasoning was "sometimes people who work on the shows browse these forums, and we do not wish for them to see people not liking certain aspects they may have a hand in working on" Talk about thought police....
Where was I.. oh yeah, sometimes it's nice to make basic threads and see what spawns out of them like a little seed being planted, ya know? The high traffic and anonymity of /a/ is good for that. Some of the best threads there started from just a simple picture, and ended with lots of in depth discussions on the show or character.

But then ANN will just be like all those other millions of forums on the web if they allowed one-liner topics. Do we absolutely have to have "WHO HERE LOVES NARUTO?!!??!?!?", "What's your favorite Anime?! Mine is Death Note just because lol", "Spice & Wolf season 3?!?!?!?!?!?". kinds of threads? Does it really hurt to have to contribute to your own thread to get the discussion rolling? I don't think that is an unreasonable rule.

It's a good question, one that requires a lot more of an examination that I can provide in the time taken to post this update.
But one fundamental reason: the Heat's defense is so focused on what is happening with the guy who has the ball that they often forget about the guys who don't have the ball. Against most teams, that's OK because they don't have a whole lot of weakside movement. Against the Celtics, though, that's a problem. As bad as their offense has been this season and during the playoffs, the Celtics can always confuse teams with lots of complicated things off the ball. For a team that often loses concentration off the ball, it's a tough matchup.

Real Name
John Cena
Date of Birth
April 23, 1977
Place of Birth
A picture of Bret Hart with Karen Jarrett and Jeff Jarrett while all three were in New Orleans earlier this month for WrestleCon. Rumors are suggesting that Hart could have some sort of involvement with Global Force Wrestling, but that appears to be highly unlikely, as Hart does not want to ruin his relationship with WWE.
April 21, 2014
There are rumors floating around that Carlito could be one of the bigger names to sign with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling. The two of them were spotted together during WrestleCon in New Orleans earlier this month. Carlito is denying that the two of them talked about a contract, but the former WWE star did say that he was open to the possibility.
April 19, 2014
A video of Sting teasing an appearance at Wrestlemania 31. This was taken from New Orleans this week while the legendary former world heavyweight champion was in town for WrestleCon.
April 6, 2014
A picture of Maryse Ouellet and Maria Kanellis in their sexy dresses at WrestleCon in New Orleans. Maryse is expected to be backstage at Wrestlemania 30 this weekend, while Maria is still an uncertainty.
April 6, 2014
During Wrestlemania 30 weekend, Mickie James performed a couple of her songs on the stage at the Sugar Mill in New Orleans. The former WWE diva is in town for WrestleCon, where she signed autographs and met with fans. Elijah Burke was spotted at her concert, and he confirmed it on Twitter by stating that he got a chance to jam out with Mickie.
April 6, 2014
Through Twitter, Honky Tonk Man posted this rather interesting message about having to buy his own ticket to New Orleans during Wrestlemania 30 weekend. He mentioned something about WWE screwing him over. The former Intercontinental Champion is in town for WrestleCon, and it does not appear that he was invited to the big event on Sunday night.
April 6, 2014
A couple of former WWE divas will be in New Orleans this weekend, and one of them is Maria Kanellis, who has been booked by WrestleCon to meet and greet with fans. While she has attempted to make up with Nikki Bella and Brie Bella recently, it is uncertain if she will be invited backstage at Wrestlemania 30 itself.
April 5, 2014
While much of the wrestling world has converged in New Orleans for Wrestlemania 30 this week, Melina Perez is one of the more notable names missing from the events. She has not been booked for WrestleCon, even though the likes of Fifi the Maid, Tammy Sytch and Gorgeous George, the former girlfriend of Randy Savage, are making appearances.
April 5, 2014
Legendary former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Terry Funk is in New Orleans this weekend. He is scheduled to meet and greet fans at WrestleCon. While Wrestlemania 30 is nearby, it is uncertain whether or not he will be backstage at the pay per view, as his relationship with Vince McMahon has always been on again and off again.
April 5, 2014
With much of the wrestling world in the state of Louisiana this weekend, Mr Anderson will be in New Orleans as well. Instead of working Wrestlemania 30, though, he will be making an appearance at WrestleCon, along with several dozens of other big name performers like Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Diamond Dallas Page and Scott Hall.
April 4, 2014
While his potential involvement at Wrestlemania 30 has yet to be confirmed by WWE, Rob Van Dam will certainly be in New Orleans this weekend, as he is one of the slew of professional wrestlers who have been booked for the WrestleCon event taking place in the Louisiana. RVD has a signing on Saturday, but he is free on Sunday night to work a big pay per view match.
April 4, 2014
Even though he has not been officially announced by WWE as taking part in Wrestlemania 30, Bret Hart will be in New Orleans this upcoming weekend. The former world heavyweight champion has been booked by the promoters of WrestleCon to show up at their event. He will be meeting fans, taking pictures and signing autographs.
April 4, 2014
Since she is in New Orleans this weekend for WrestleCon, Maryse Ouellet is also expected to be backstage at Wrestlemania 30 to support her husband Miz. The belief is that WWE officials will gauge her interest in making a return to the company now that she is done planning her big wedding. Maryse is said to be less resistant towards coming back lately.
April 4, 2014
Since he is going to be in New Orleans this weekend for WrestleCon, there are heavy speculations that Sting could be showing up at Wrestlemania 30 as well. However, those are just rumors for now, as the legendary former world heavyweight champion had his plane tickets purchased by WrestleCon promoters as opposed to WWE.
April 2, 2014
When 2014 started, WWE fans had high hopes that this would be the year when Sting finally makes his appearance at Wrestlemania. As time has passed by, those odds decreased tremendously, and now, it looks like it is definitely off the books, as Sting has been booked to make an appearance at WrestleCon in New Orleans that weekend instead.
March 19, 2014
Seems like everyone in professional wrestling will be in New Orleans during Wrestlemania 30 weekend. It has now been announced that Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian have been signed to make appearances at WrestleCon. They will be signing autographs and taking pictures during the entire weekend.
March 6, 2014
Earlier today, Velvet Sky informed her fans through social media that she had been added to the WrestleCon event next month in New Orleans. The show coincides with Wrestlemania 30 being in town. Several non WWE stars will be in Louisiana that weekend, including Mickie James and Angelina Love, who are working a big match for an independent wrestling company.
March 4, 2014
There are speculations now that Edge could be making an appearance at Wrestlemania 30. The former WWE champion has signed on to make an appearance at WrestleCon, which is taking place in New Orleans during the same weekend. Edge has revealed in the past that he is a huge fan of the Ultimate Warrior, who is being inducted this year.
February 15, 2014
Kevin Steen has been booked for a huge match at WrestleCon, which is taking place in April in New Orleans. The former ROH Heavyweight Champion will be wrestling Masato Tanaka, a Japanese star and ECW legend who is returning to America just for the event.
January 11, 2014
As a few people are already aware, Hulk Hogan has been generating some hype recently by teasing fans that he wants to make a return to the WWE ring for one final match. The former world heavyweight champion has teased that he wants to work against John Cena. Well, some fuel has been added to that fire, as Cena himself is now starting to tease the match as well. The belief is that the two of them are simply promoting the upcoming Wrestlemania 31 pay per view.
August 30, 2014
Those that watched Monday Night Raw last week saw John Cena being booked dominantly against Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. It has now been revealed that Vince McMahon was the person behind all of that. Someone backstage had informed McMahon that a lot of WWE fans were mocking Cena for being dominated, so McMahon has decided to build Cena back up again.
August 28, 2014
After witnessing Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan being utilized as pawns in the feud between John Cena and Brock Lesnar on Monday Night Raw, a lot of fans voiced their complaints towards WWE. It is now being said that management actually had a different plan that evening for Wyatt. He was supposed to have been booked strong by attacking Big Show and Mark Henry during the closing segment. Instead, WWE changed their minds and decided to put Cena and Lesnar over instead.
August 27, 2014
WWE has announced a big rematch between John Cena and Bray Wyatt for Monday Night Raw tonight. No word yet on why the match is taking place, as the two of them are not currently feuding with one another. Wyatt is still feuding with Chris Jericho, while Cena is in a program with Brock Lesnar, who once again will not be making a television appearance this week despite being the WWE champion.
August 25, 2014
During a recent video interview with Supertraining Gym in Sacramento, John Cena was asked about a potential heel turn, something that fans have been speculating about for years online. The former WWE champion flat out stated that it will never happen. Cena said that he had it in him to make it work, but management will never pull the trigger on such a move because it does not make sense for business.
August 24, 2014
WWE is bringing in the big names to help open up Monday Night Raw this week. Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair have been confirmed to make an appearance. The trio of former world heavyweight champions will be in the opening segment. Reports are surfacing that Flair, Hogan and Michaels will be promoting the feud between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, who is not scheduled to be there.
August 23, 2014
When Bray Wyatt was closing out his feud with John Cena, many wondered who WWE was going to pair him up with next. Fortunately for the company, Chris Jericho agreed to return and help keep Wyatt interesting. Their feud is about to end, so the question has popped up again. As of right now, it looks like WWE is leaning towards putting Wyatt together with Sheamus in a program.
August 22, 2014
With Night of Champions 2014 being a crucial pay per view in terms of drawing in WWE Network subscribers, management is going to be stacking the deck a bit. They knew that they needed their two biggest draws in the main event. That's why it has now been officially announced that John Cena has activated his rematch clause against Brock Lesnar, and the two will tangle again for the world heavyweight championship.
August 20, 2014
It will be interesting to see how WWE handles the promotion of the world heavyweight championship over the next few weeks. Brock Lesnar is not scheduled to be back on television for approximately a month. John Cena, who is returning next week, is expected to get his rematch story line. Paul Heyman is great at what he does, but management will be curious to see how the audience reacts to a missing champion.
August 19, 2014
For years, Hulk Hogan has worked the audience. He knows how to sucker in the most gullible of fans. The WWE legend is at it again. At a promotional event in New Jersey on Saturday, Hogan told the audience that he was training for another match. He also stated that he wanted it to be against John Cena. Hogan is in no shape to work another match, so the belief is that he's just creating a buzz.
August 3, 2014
The rumors about Brock Lesnar beating John Cena at Summerslam 2014 for the WWE Championship are escalating even further today, as it has now been revealed that the former UFC Heavyweight Champion has signed on to do a couple of more episodes of Monday Night Raw. The belief is that he will be making more appearances to promote the upcoming Night of Champions 2014.
July 30, 2014
WWE ran a live event on Friday in Dallas, and they initially drew in fans by advertising that John Cena would be working the show. However, the heavyweight champion picked up a part in a movie and was forced to miss the event, which prompted management to offer full refund to fans in attendance. It is being said that only a small amount of people bothered to leave the building.
July 28, 2014
Alexander Rusev is posing a considerable problem for the WWE creative department nowadays. The staff was instructed to push him up the ladder, but they are now running out of options. His program with Jack Swagger has either ended or will end soon. Rusev cannot be placed into a program with someone lower on the card, and it's too soon for him to work against John Cena. Sheamus has been named as a possible opponent to help Rusev kill time.
July 27, 2014
A lot of people backstage in WWE have been joking around lately about John Cena possibly being the next guy to leave the company to pursue a career in Hollywood. He's got a couple of parts coming up that might help him gain the attention of the studios. There are also talks that Cena is a lot more injured than he lets on, so an acting career might seem like a better option nowadays.
July 23, 2014
For those of you that missed Monday Night Raw this week, Brock Lesnar made his much anticipated return to WWE and challenged John Cena at Summerslam 2014 for the world heavyweight championship. The story is that Paul Heyman convinced Triple H to go with Plan C because it was the best chance at getting the strap away from Cena.
July 22, 2014
After successfully retaining the heavyweight championship at WWE Battleground 2014, many would expect John Cena to be at Monday Night Raw for some sort of victory promo. However, the popular performer hopped on a plane Monday morning in Tampa to head to New York City. Cena is filming some scenes for an upcoming movie and will not be at Raw.
July 21, 2014
With the pay per view just a day away, rumors are firing up about WWE pulling the trigger on the Roman Reigns era. There are talks that he could walk out of the WWE Battleground 2014 pay per view as the new heavyweight champion. Management might be forced to give John Cena some time off to film some scenes in a big movie, so the title change has been discussed heavily over the last couple of days.
July 19, 2014
While wrestling fans online are downplaying the incident, WWE is a bit concerned that fans in attendance at the last episode of Monday Night Raw were bored with Bray Wyatt during his segment with Chris Jericho. The chants came as a bit of a surprise to management, as they felt that Wyatt was one of their more popular performers. There were concerns that he would lose interests from some fans once his program with John Cena ended.
July 17, 2014
Rumors are floating around that the segment on Monday Night Raw between John Cena and Ric Flair was a subtle way for WWE to retire the world heavyweight championship belt. For those that missed it, Cena handed the belt over to Flair and told the legendary performer to keep it.

Through faith, we know that God is working all things out for our good -- if we love God and are following the commands of Jesus (Romans 8:28). If you are a believer, the Bible says all things are working together for good -- not that all things are good -- but working together for your good and the Glory of God.
There is no difficulty, dilemma, defeat, or disaster in the life of a believer that God can't ultimately get some good out of – so what is there to fear, as we enter this Decade of Destiny?

Life's Healing Choices Study Kit takes you through the eight healing choices Jesus taught in the Beatitudes. The DVD and Study Guide include these eight-life changing sessions taught by Rick Warren.
