Question: How many meters are in 100 yards?
The graphic shows the steps and information necessary to easily convert yards to meters. Most people memorize a few conversions to get by. Almost nobody would know right off that 1 yard = 0.9144 meters. They know a yard is a little longer than a meter, but not much. The common length conversion people remember is 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters.
Step A states the problem. ?m in 100 yards.
Step B lists commonly known conversions between English and Metric units used in this example.
Step C lays out all the conversions and their respective units. Step D cancels out each unit from the top (numerator) and bottom (denominator) until the desired unit is reached. Each unit has been cancelled with its own color to show the progression of units. Step E lists the remaining numbers for easy calculation. Step F shows the final answer.
Answer: There are 91.44 meters in 100 yards.

Hundreds of bargain shoppers in southern Illinois found just what they were looking for at this years troops' yard sale in Carterville.
Heartland Heroes Project held their bi-annual benefit yard sale on Sunday.
The yard sell is held every year, and all the proceeds goes towards sending care packages to troops overseas.
Bargain hunters found items ranging from hundreds of books, collector's items, clothes and toys.
Shoppers told us as much they like finding the good deals and it's all about the troops.
"We always come over here for every benefit that they have like this," said Roy Manasco of Marion. "Not only do we find things we like to have, but also we feel like we're doing a good thing be helping out the veterans. Being a veteran myself, I like to help my brethren in arms."
"It's really wonderful to see the support," said Mary Beth Baxter, Heartland Heroes. "It lets us know that people still think about the troops overseas. And that also helps us get the packages over there to them and let them know we're still thinking about them here in the Heartland."
The next troops' yard sale will be this spring.
If you have anything you would like to donate, you drop them off at the U-Haul station in Carterville.

32 foot 1956 Spartan Manor in prime restorable condition. The trailer is built with all metal framing. The aluminum skin is in immaculate shape because the trailer was painted with a light coat of paint. It has been covered for it's lifetime. No corrosion and no pitting. The paint is starting to come off of the sunny side now so it's time to get to work on this gem. All lights work and are original. The tail lights have a light coat of paint on them so they are in great shape as well.
The floor is solid throughout and there is just a little tiny bit of water damage around one side window in the bedroom. Some re-finishing and reattaching of the birch paneling and trim will be necessary and it will need new floor covering throughout.
I would put all new kitchen cabinets in it if it were mine and a little remodeling in the bathroom although everything is usable in it's present condition. The swamp cooler will come off of course and go in the trash. It has NOT done any damage to the ceiling of the trailer or the roof. A vent should be put in it's place.
The front curved lexan windows are intact. The rubber windsheild grommet needs to be replaced and is a standard item and easy to find.
It is fitted for Forced Air Heating but will need a new Forced Air Unit installed. Air conditioning should be done through a window opening. All plumbing is intact and working. All electrical is intact and working.
The trailer will need 4 new wheels and tires although 3 hold air and one holds it for a while. I can put new wheels and tires and pack the bearings for the trip out if you pay for the parts. No extra charge. I can also deliver this trailer and set it up for a small fee plus gas both ways. This trailer is a great deal and chances are you won't have to check auto refinance rates and get a new loan to afford this unit. Just a few new wheels and some kitchen and bathroom remodelling and you'll be up and running in no time.

This week's "Your Turn" segment comes from the Action News 5 Facebook page where people are bickering over the implications of this week's vote to create suburban school districts in Shelby County. A lot of the debate might be better suited for a playground, but there were a few thoughtful comments. We chose one from Donna Ammons. In her words:
"Is it possible that while we bicker about taxes, surrendered charters, and all the politics, and poke at each other making not so subtle insults that our focus shifts from the issue at hand? Remember the children? Until they are the focus of our time, attention, funds, policies, and priorities, we are right where we started."

Freshman Julius Randle leads the way for Kentucky
High-scoring Kentucky freshman Julius Randle is striving to improve and be a team leader. The Wildcats host defending NCAA champion Louisville on Saturday.
Lexington Herald-Leader and The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Julius Randle had just scored a career-high 29 points.
"I got to step up," said the Kentucky freshman, sitting in a director's chair on a raised stage against a back wall of Rupp Arena, media all around.
Randle had snagged 10 rebounds for his ninth double-double in a dozen games.
"I've got to do better," said the 6-foot-9 forward.
Kentucky had rallied from an 11-point first-half deficit to defeat visiting Belmont 93-80 Saturday, in large part because of Randle's muscle and determination and physical skill.
"It's the time of the season where there are no more excuses," he said.
Final exams are over. It is also Louisville week for the 18th-ranked Wildcats. The defending NCAA champion Cardinals, ranked No. 6, visit Rupp Arena on Saturday. So do the CBS cameras. So does much of the college-basketball world, peering in for a good, hard look.
Kentucky, which has a freshman class so talented the team was ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press media preseason poll, is 9-3.
The Wildcats have no embarrassing losses. They have no eye-popping victories. They have a team full of talent and immaturity, skill and inconsistency, flashes of brilliance mixed with periods of puzzlement.
"We've still got things we've got to get better at," Kentucky coach John Calipari said.
As for the highly touted Harrison twins, Aaron has been more up than down and Andrew's struggles continue.
Last weekend, Belmont coach Rick Byrd said, "The big difference in the game was Julius Randle. We couldn't stop him from making it except by fouling him. He's so strong, our guys fouled him and he doesn't even notice.
"I felt like we did all we could, we just have no bulk inside to match (him) inside. You need bulk and ability to move laterally against a guy who can play like him. Length and size help also. We are 0 for 3 in that category."
Few teams can deal with Randle inside. And it is not as if this is something he doesn't already know. It's a matter of exploiting it.
"It's time to step up and take on leadership," he said.
Coming out of a timeout, Randle was the one clapping his hands, getting down in a stance and showing some intensity.
"That's a big thing," Randle said. "Coach wants us to bring energy to the team so if we see a guy with his head down, any of us, we're checking ourselves. We're not doing that (getting down) because bad calls are going to happen, we're going to make bad plays and we're going to make mistakes.
"But you can't let that affect the team and bring the energy down. You have to continue to have great body language and play hard."
With Louisville on the horizon, was Saturday's showing against Belmont a step forward?
"Me, personally, I feel like I got a little better," Randle said. "But there's so much I can work on."
Hawaii defeats Oregon State
HONOLULU – Isaac Fotu scored 17 points as Hawaii beat Oregon State 79-73 in the fifth-place game of the Diamond Head Classic on Wednesday.
Garrett Nevels scored 16 points, Christian Standhardinger had 15 and Brandon Spearman added 14 for the Rainbow Warriors (9-3). Spearman also grabbed 10 rebounds and Keith Shamburger chipped in with nine points, 10 assists and six rebounds.
Roberto Nelson scored 24 points for the Beavers (7-4) and Devon Collier added 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Oregon State made 17 turnovers, leading to 22 Hawaii points. The Rainbow Warriors' nine turnovers led to 10 Oregon State points.
Meanwhile, DeAndre Kane scored 23 points as 14th-ranked Iowa State defeated Boise State 70-66 for the Diamond Head Classic championship.

Hip-hip-hooray for the Cheer Guild
"I wouldn't be here today without Riley." As an infant, Heather Dawes came to Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health for surgery to repair a heart valve. "The doctors at the hospital where I was born made my Mom feel there was no point in having hope in my survival, let alone a positive future. She was told if I happened to survive, my future was grim at best because I would be blind, deaf or even mentally retarded. After spending several weeks in the NICU at Riley and undergoing surgery, I beat the odds and have had no negative effects."
Now, Heather is a happy and healthy adult with children of her own who have also been treated at Riley Hospital for Children. "Jacob is our oldest, now eight, and was rushed to Riley when he was six weeks old when he was treated for RSV. At the age of 10 months we returned, and he underwent a double hernia surgery. At the age of four, Jacob was diagnosed with Asperger's and mood regulation disorder, in which Riley was able to help us stabilize his moods in a time of crisis. Our second child Jeremy has been treated at Riley Pulmonary since he was an infant for asthma and sleep apnea as well as a tonsil and adenoid surgery. Our third child, Julia was born with a hand that did not fully develop. We were lucky enough to have a Riley surgeon give her the ability to have more stability and utilization in her hand."
Bringing smiles to Riley families
Heather's personal experience as a Riley patient and mom gives her insight into caring for ill children and their families, "I know what it is like to walk the halls as a scared Mom, not just an employee." She understands even the simplest gestures can make a big difference. Her goal, "bring a smile to a patient's face."
She brings smiles everyday through the Cheer Guild's largest project, the Toy Room. Each month, the Toy Room delivers more than 14,000 items to patients visiting or staying in the hospital. These items include toys, fleece blankets, puppy pillows and much more. The items brighten hospital rooms, help kids pass time and bring those oh so precious smiles to children's faces.
As Director of the Cheer Guild, Heather has the unique opportunity to help Riley kids forget the needles, tests and doctors appointments they undergo as patients. Instead, she and the Cheer Guild allow patients to laugh, play and well…be kids again.
Volunteers make it happen
Of course, the Cheer Guild depends on the efforts of outstanding volunteers who bring comfort and cheer to patients during their hospital stay. Heather, like many other people at Riley at IU Health, finds this inspirational. "It is so rewarding to see volunteers eager to work each and every day without any monetary payment to make a difference for families and patients."
Get involved
How has the Cheer Guild enhanced you or your child's hospital stay? Please share your Cheer Guild experiences with us, email email@example.com your story!
If you are interested in donating your time, items for the Toy Room or a monetary amount to the Cheer Guild at Riley at IU Health, please visit the Cheer Guild website to find out how you can help, email email@example.com or call 317.944.8705.

Suzie could otherwise be called Lucky.
The small poodle mix got wedged into the grill of a Toyota Camry and survived an 11-mile ride from Taunton, Mass., to East Providence.
Yesterday, the dog, which had been kept at the East Providence Animal Shelter as it recovered from only minor injuries — amazingly — was returned to its owners after they saw her on the news.
Animal Control Officer Evan Barlow said the owners ran down to the shelter to reclaim the dog and provided convincing evidence that the dog was theirs, including paperwork that showed a number that matched a microchip implanted in the dog.
The owners declined to be identified.
Suzie was struck by a car on Route 44. The driver apparently didn't realize the dog was wedged into the grill until another motorist flagged him. The driver then went to the East Providence Police.
Suzie suffered a slight concussion and lost a tooth. Otherwise, the dog has been given a clean bill of health.

We are now a few years removed from the decade that was the 2000's (2000-2009). Whether we realize it or not, now is the perfect time to draw up those cliché lists of all-decade teams. Think about it: the sports memories remain still very fresh in our minds, and yet the few buffer years that have passed by have ensured that emotional attachment to particular players does not play too big of a factor. At least they SHOULD ensure our emotions have subsided some. (I may need another decade to get over that brutal loss in the championship to Memphis last year though...)
All this being said, it is about time somebody compiled an all-time UTEP Miners team in anything. I'm too young to make up an All-80's team (which by the way would probably be the best of all the All Miners Decade teams), or even an All-90's team, but I challenge anyone out there who can, to come up with these.
This was a good decade for our Miners. If I had to, I'd rank the 2000's as the fourth best decade overall for Miner hoops, behind the 1960's (9-3 in NCAA tourney play and 1 National Championship), the 1980's (6 NCAA appearances, 2 NIT appearances, 3 NCAA tourney wins), and the 1990's (only 2 NCAA and NIT appearances, but this was the decade of that iconic win over Kansas to make the Sweet Sixteen). The 2000's by comparison featured 2 NCAA tourney appearances, 2 trips to the NIT, and 2 CBI invitations (if everyone's okay deeming the CBI a notable accomplishment). The decade also featured an astounding four different head coaches (Jason Rabedoux until 2002, Billy Gillespie 2002-2004, Doc Sadler 2004-2006, Tony Barbee, 2006-2010), and 2 different conferences (WAC and Conference USA). For a program that was so used to the safety and consistency of the Bear roaming the sidelines, the 2000's was a decade filled with great turnover and uncertainty. This only makes the accomplishments of our Miner program all the more impressive.
So without further ado, here's my choices for All-2000's Miners team. These are the players who deserve the most praise for making the decade so great.
Julyan Stone, 2007-2011.
Technically, Julyan's last season with the Miners was in this decade, not the last one. But I'm bending the rules ever so slightly to give my favorite Miner player possibly of all time his due. Not enough people noted that Stone was the glue of those great Tony Barbee teams. Sure Culpepper was the most exciting player in the Southwest, sure Caracter was unstoppable that one year we had him. But no one in a Miner uniform has ever had a more well-rounded game than Julyan Stone. He is the all-time assists leader, would game-in and game-out guard the opponent's best player (most of the time locking him down), was a great rebounding guard, and possessed an underrated ability to get to the hoop.
Stefon Jackson, 2005-2009
The All-Time leading scorer in UTEP and Conference USA history. His senior season in 08-09 was downright bananas. Jackson had the sweetest mid-range game of anyone in recent memory and was an absolute lock to give the Miners 20-30 points each night. I just wish he had gotten the opportunity to go dancing.
NOTE: UTEP was loaded at the guard positions in the 2000's. Rivera and Culpepper deserve to be All 2000's team 1B.
Omar Thomas, 2003-2005
Thomas scored 1,211 points in just two years as a Miner. To give you an idea of how good that is, Stefon Jackson scored 2,456 in four years as a Miner. It's not outrageous to believe that O.T. could have been up near Stefon's record had we had him for 2 more years. He's also the only other player aside from Randy Culpepper to have his first name chanted by the Haskins Center crowd during a game, at least to my memory.
Jason Williams, 2003-2006
Hopefully most Miner fans remember him as the ice-cold competitor, solid rebounder and defender that he was instead of "that player who broke Stefon's jaw." Williams was a consistent and relatively unsung star for the three years he played at UTEP.
John Tofi, 2002-2006
Derrick Caracter was by far the most dominant and talented center I've ever seen in a UTEP uniform. But Tofi gets my pick for Center of the decade for a few reasons. One, he set the fiery, emotional tone, along with Fili, for those tournament teams mid-decade. Two, he spent four years in a Miner uniform compared to Caracter's one and experienced the highs (2 NCAA tourney appearances, 1 NIT), as well as the lows (Billy Gillespie's miserable first year). Let's not forget that gutsy performance at the FedEx Forum in Memphis when he was noticeably injured.

Sunday weather update - showers, maybe 11 Jul 2004
Welcome to raceday at the British Grand Prix, the 11th round of the 2004 FIA Formula One World Championship.
Once again the weather at Silverstone has the potential to be unsettled. The ambient temperature will be similar to yesterdays, with a high of 17 degrees Celsius, and there is a 20 percent chance of rain. If the heavens should open, it will make an already unpredictable race even more open.
Like all the other days of this meeting, fans are best to bring umbrellas, and plenty of warm clothing, just in case.

Kentucky Center for African American Heritage
1701 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd.
$10; 10 a.m.-6 p.m. (Sat,), 10 a.m.-4p.m. (Sun.)
Now in its fourth year, the Good Folk Festival offers plenty of local and regional culture — as well as a few from parts unknown — from craftspeople to artists to musicians to writers and even cartoonists. Really, it's a catchall for anyone with unique and creative ideas, which is kind of what makes it so, well, unique and creative. The list of exhibitors is pretty much off the charts, in fact, and the music lineup is wide ranging to the point of including the surf/duo-punk of The Smacks! to the thoughtful folk-country leanings of Joel Henderson. It all goes down this weekend at the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage. Bring an open mind and be prepared to hang out with some genuinely good folks. —Kevin Gibson

Advance introduces the Centium ® T5/HO electronic ballast featuring IntelliVolt-Hi ™ technology for operation at 347-480V, 50/60Hz. The ballast is designed to operate one or two F54T5/HO lamps and will also operate a variety of other fluorescent lamp types and wattages. Since the new ballast can operate at any input voltage from 347 to 480V, 50/60Hz, it is highly suitable for industrial applications that utilize a 480V AC system, eliminating the need to rewire to another mains voltage. The 90°C case temperature rating makes the ballast ideal for use in high-temperature ambients. The IntelliVolt-Hi feature, combined with its ability to operate either one or two lamps, provides significant cost savings to both OEMs and distributors by reducing the number of SKUs required in inventory.

Alkco Lighting Multi-Med
Alkco introduces Multi-Med, a multifunction, ceiling-recessed patient room lighting system. It provides four separate indirect and direct lighting functions including room-ambient, patient-reading, and physician-exam lighting, as well as an optional nurse's night light, all from a single 2x4 fixture. It permits comfortable, efficient functioning of a patient room without cluttering wall or floor space. In standard position it emits diffused, glare-free, ambient overhead lighting through shielded energy-efficient fluorescent lamps. When switched to a reading light position, it emits downward illumination at a right angle, so it reflects off the back wall to eliminate direct glare and shadow. An exam light function provides full, accurate illumination over the entire bed area. The nurse's light function provides ideal low-level illumination to allow night nurses to check on patients without disturbing them.

As a result of the research I do for my blogs, I have the opportunity to read a variety of interesting, disturbing, and touching stories. I share the ones that speak to me and that I think will speak to you as well. With that in mind, I am anxious to share this unusual story with you from Yakima, Washington.
It is an unbelievable story about a young girl who wanted to find out what life is like for a pregnant high school student; an experiment to find out what kind of stereotypes and rumors such a young lady faces.
Gaby Rodriguez, a 17-year old senior and an A-student at Toppenish High School, convinced her mother, her boyfriend of three years, and her principal and the school district's superintendent to join her in this incredible social experiment; pretending that she was pregnant in order to find out first-hand how she would be treated by her family, fellow students, and teachers.
Her idea was conceived her sophomore year in her AP biology class, which was taught by Shawn Myers. And she was further spurred by the research she completed which stated that Black and Hispanic teens have higher pregnancy rates than white teens. This really hit home for her since about 85% of the teens at Toppenish High School are Hispanic.
Her experiment was met with much trepidation by those to whom she confided. Her mother, Juana Rodriguez said she thought it was crazy, and worried about lying to family members about the fake pregnancy. Yet, even though she admits it didn't feel good, she supported her daughter, who received some necessary mentoring from Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital's Childbirth Education Program to help her carry off her "pregnancy."
And how did her 20-year old boyfriend, Jorge Orozco, feel about it? "I thought she was nuts," Jorge said, "I thought I was going to end up getting into problems with her brothers. I didn't really want to get into problems with anybody." In spite of his concerns, he went along with Gaby's plans because, he said, "I was doing it for her."
Gaby approached Principal Trevor Greene about her project last spring worried that he would not let her proceed. He admits that he was impressed with her determination but also very shocked. "I heard her out," he says. "I listened to her presentation, her proposal. And then I went through all the difficulties I foresaw to making this happen."
Greene shared his concerns that people might talk about her behind her back, her older brothers might want to beat up her boyfriend, there might even by broken relationships when family members, other students, and teachers in the school found out the truth. "None of that deterred her," Greene says.
He told her that before she could proceed, she would need to get the okay from the superintendent, which she did. And the experiment was launched.
In this, her senior year, Gaby convinced people in both her family and in her school that she had gotten pregnant at homecoming, and for six and a half months, she carried on the charade, even replacing the loose, baggy sweaters and sweatshirts for a fake baby bump when she returned from spring break.
Gaby confessed, "At times, I just wanted to take it off and be done. I didn't want to go through this anymore."
On Monday of last week, Gaby confessed to Shawn Myers and two women teachers at her school that she was not pregnant and asked for their help at her presentation to the school on Wednesday. Their reactions were mixed: the women were relieved, but Myers said, "She kept talking, and it did not register. Then I just kind of leaned forward and said, `Are you serious?' I told her, `You've run a great value experiment. You couldn't tell anybody because you had to control the variables.'"
But, Myers also admitted afterwards, "When you're running a social experiment, you're dealing with human emotions. The human person in me felt I had been lied to."
His human reaction is understandable. He admitted that when Gaby told him she was pregnant, he wasn't disappointed, "just concerned" He says he wondered: "How are we going to take all of the potential that's in this girl and make sure it manifests itself and not let this define who she is and let it be a roadblock to what she wants to accomplish?"
The experiment culminated in an all-school assembly this past Wednesday. Superintendent John Cerna rushed back from the west side of the state, leaving at 5:30 A.M. in order to be at the school for her 10:15 appearance. "I wouldn't miss this," Cerna said. "It's amazing that a young lady would take this challenge on. It was a well-kept secret."
The topic of Gaby's presentation was "Stereotypes, Rumors, and Statistics. " Gaby admits she was very worried about how the audience would react when they heard the truth, but before she revealed the secret she had been carrying for the last six and a half months, she told the audience, "Many things were said about me. Many things traveled all the way back to me." She then had several students and teachers in the audience read actual statements people had made about her through the course of the experiment.
Saida Cortes, Gaby's best friend, read this statement from one of the cards: "Her attitude is changing, and it might be because of the baby or she was always this annoying and I never realized it." Other comments focused on how irresponsible she was, that she wouldn't continue her education at college, "it was bound to happen anyway", "I knew she was going to get pregnant", and "doesn't she know she just ruined her life?"
After the cards were read, Gaby admitted that some students had left her feeling alone and ashamed because of her pregnancy. Then, in a highly emotional moment, she removed her fake baby bump announcing, "I'm fighting against those stereotypes and rumors because the reality is I'm not pregnant."
I can only imagine the astonishment the students and teachers must have felt after this announcement. Gaby apologized for misleading them over the last six and a half months, and after her speech, and a time for questions and answers, the audience did something Principal Greene said had never happened in the three years he has been at Toppenish High School; they gave Gaby a standing ovation!
Principal Greene summarized this social experiment in this way: "In essence, she gave up her senior year. She sacrificed her senior year to find out what it would be like to be a potential teen mom. I admire her courage. I admire her preparation. I give her mother a lot of credit for backing her up on this."
But, the principal continued, "I have a daughter that will be here next year, and I would not let her do it."
Gaby said, "Teenagers tend to live in the shadows of these elements." And they do. A teenager's world is highly attuned to rumors and stereotypes; it is what powers most teenagers to do what they do, wear what they wear, like who they like, and say what they say. The shadow of rumors and stereotypes can make or break young people who are so socially conscious.
I commend Gaby for her willingness to sacrifice the majority of her senior year to point out to her peers that they must see beyond the rumors and stereotypes to the real person buried underneath.
Gaby's next step is to present her research to a board of community members in May, including photos and videos from Wednesday's assembly. And she will also need to finish her report on this social experiment. And Gaby is looking forward to attending her prom with her boyfriend minus a baby bump.
Gaby also plans to attend Columbia Basin College, where she plans to study social work or sociology. She also is clear about one important thing: "I'm not planning to have a child until after I graduate."
Good for her! And good for her that she may have opened some judgmental eyes through her experiment! This is a girl who took a huge risk and made difficult sacrifices in order to teach people tolerance. Let's hope the lesson took!

Link Seen Between Hardening of Arteries, Alzheimer's Plaques
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 16 (HealthDay News) -- Elderly people with hardening of the arteries are more likely to have brain plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease, a new study says.
The study included 91 people, average age 87, who did not have dementia and underwent scans to assess any beta-amyloid plaques in their brains. The degree of stiffness of their arteries was checked about two years later.
Half of the participants had brain plaques and these people were more likely to have high systolic blood pressure (the top number that shows the amount of pressure on blood vessels when the heart beats), higher average blood pressure and greater arterial stiffness.
For every unit increase in arterial stiffness, people were twice as likely to have beta-amyloid plaques in the brain. Arterial stiffness was highest in people who had both amyloid plaques and lesions in their brain's white matter, according to the study published online Oct. 16 in the journal Neurology.
"This is more evidence that cardiovascular health leads to a healthy brain," study author Timothy Hughes, of the University of Pittsburgh, said in a journal news release.
He noted that the link between arterial stiffness and brain plaques did not change when regular resting blood pressure was taken into account.
"This study adds to growing evidence that hardening of the arteries is associated with cerebrovascular disease that does not show symptoms. Now we can add Alzheimer's-type lesions to the list," Hughes said.
Although the study found an association between hardening of the arteries and levels of Alzheimer's-related brain plaque in older adults, it did not establish cause and effect.
More information
The American Academy of Family Physicians has more about hardening of the arteries.

How does the CDN work?
A CDN is a system of distributed servers that deliver webpages and other web content to end-users from the closest geographical server. When a user makes a request, the relevant content is pulled from its original location, stored on a cache server and then delivered to the end-user from the nearest location. This makes the delivery of the content extremely efficient and reliable, resulting in a smooth and seamless end-user experience.
- Active distribution of software and large files using push technology
- Dynamic site acceleration using pull technology
- Accelerated download of small, frequently accessed files using pull technology
- Pseudo-streaming enables random seeking to any part of a videos timeline
- 4.0 Tbps bandwidth capacity
- State-of-the-art network with multiple transit and peering uplinks via 33 IXs and 52 PoPs
- 100% solid-state drive (SSD) storage
- Seamless integration via first-class citizen API
- Full control via Customer Portal
- 100% uptime SLA and 24/7 support
Our CDN pricing is fully elastic
Our CDN is available in two options: Pay-as-you-go and Enterprise. Pay-as-you-go offers flexibility with minimal upfront costs and no long-term commitment. While Enterprise offers high-volume customers substantial cost savings over the Pay-as-you-go pricing, as well as options to tailor the platform to meet specific requirements.

lowering the bar?
dude grindcore is already the lowest of the low, how could any porno-gore shit raise the bar? when we talk about shit like "brutal death metal" "gore grind" we arent taking about artforms that champion intellectually,philosophically mindblowing lyrical content, poineering multi faceted complex emotions thru sound. most of the bands mentioned here have the cultural,intellectual significance of a fart joke
they dont give a shit about music? they want money?
dude, seth putnam smoked crack for years. its not like he lives in hollywood driving a hummer, lighting cigars with burning hundred dollar bills. the guy rivals bukowski in terms of being a complete loser. and AC hardly have been a productive band thruout its existance, he nearly died 2 years ago trying to commit suicide.
I'm not specifically calling THEM sellouts. I'm saying they are lowering the bar for what most of the music industry considers good music. They give out one clear message. "We are fucking losers but we still got signed." Whether that's to a shitty label or not, I think getting signed to any label should be a good honor to a band and such an honor shouldn't be squandered on skidmarks such as Anal Cunt. They have shown the world that mediocrity and pure shit is acceptable in music.
I don't need the music I listen to to be phylisophical. I'm all for brutality in music. But there's a fine line between brutality, and trash. Cannibal Corpse is, in my opinion, one of the most brutal bands out there. They can still keep up the power without getting sloppy. I think they commit themselves to make sure that doesn't happen. That's what I'm looking for in a band. Yeah, CC have made a few videos and stuff, but I would hardly call them sellouts.
Slipknot, on the other hand, needs a reality check. For the record, I like the music Slipknot makes. I like their sound, and the energy they do put out there, but I HATE the band themselves. They, and I quote you, "Have the intellectual signifigance of a fart joke." They think they are the most brutal band in mainstream music. They talk about how much they scared "abunch of record label pussy ass motherfuckers." For committing to their music and not getting TOO sloppy and crap, I would rally them with bands like CC. But their attitude is fucking bullshit. They are a joke and they don't know it.
They are the kind of bands Anal Cunt is indirectly influencing. Bands that'll pretend. Bands who are too lazy to take music seriously.
Low-tech pretty much summed it up.
How could you not want to just fuck around and get to travel to Europe and Japan knowing that your music is a complete joke? It's great. It's a total slap in the face to the entire conglomerate of music.
If I wanted to go to Europe, I would go to Europe. I take music , among other things, very seriously, and I hate it when people make a joke out of it. People who lack disipline, poeple who would rather get piss drunk and scream into a mic than commit themselves to performing a great show.And I'm not just talking about metal music.
When I was in school, I was in the marching band. Contrary to popular belief, it is hard work to rehearse each movement, put it on the field, and perform it. I was proud of the work we did BECAUSE we put hard work into it. People shouldn't have that sense of pride and that feeling of acomplishment handed to them on a platter without working for it. Anal Cunt performs, like, what, how many half assed shows and gets signed? I understand the whole "slap in the face to the whole conglomerate of music." And I know music is a form of expression. But for me, music is also something that I want to push myself with. Reach my potential.
If I wanted to be a "funny" little asshole, I would just shit in a bucket on stage and throw it into a crowd.
Keep checking for new crap.

Extended breastfeeding: How long is too long?
Just how long is too long when it comes to breastfeeding? Fiona Baker talks to a few mums to get their take on it.
This content first appeared in Body+Soul.
"If they're old enough to ask for it, they're too old" is a common refrain around children who breastfeed past the age of two. And in Australia, the issue of sustained breastfeeding polarises parents.
All you need to do is look at the negative reactions to the cover of Time magazine, which showed a woman breastfeeding her three-year-old son, as well as the publication of Beyond The Sling (Touchstone), a parenting book by actress Mayim Bialik, which includes a discussion of the benefits of breastfeeding her three-and-a-half-year-old son.
But there has also been strong online support, revealing a small but strong subculture of sustained breastfeeders in this country.
Katherine Dettwyler, a US anthropologist and breastfeeding expert, has famously claimed that the natural weaning age for humans should be between two and seven years.
Which begs the question: is sustained breastfeeding natural? Are there proven benefits? And why are women choosing to follow this path?

"It was an educated decision"
Meredith Laverty, 39, breastfed her eldest child Mia, eight, until she was two-and-a-half and her son Dominic, five, for three years and eight months.
"Feeding Mia for that long was a going-with-the-flow thing, but with Dominic it was a conscious and educated decision.
"Dominic was born with a congenital obstruction in the oesophagus known as oesophageal atresia and tracheooesophageal fistula. He had many medical procedures in his first few years, slept very little and cried an awful lot. He needed the physical comfort and pain relief breastfeeding was able to provide and I needed to be able to do it to calm and comfort him through so much pain.
"Breastfeeding him enabled his respiratory rate to remain steady and helped his breathing. As he grew older, he still needed the physical comfort he got from breastfeeding. I learned that if he got sick, my breast milk would adapt and make antibodies to help fight off infections. Towards the end of our breastfeeding relationship, there were times when I wished he would stop or stay still for a feed, even though he was only feeding a few times a day – mostly before bed.
"I received criticisms from female health professionals. When Dominic was hospitalised due to dehydration a nurse told me I really should stop, that it was no good for him, and a doctor told me I was a bad mother.
"I've found it easier to smile, nod and tell people what they want to hear. Listening to your own voice as a parent is hard, but once you find it, it is very empowering."

"Before kids, I thought sustained breastfeeding was inappropriate"
Philippa May, 39, is mum of twins Elliot and Oliver, three. She still feeds Elliot but Oliver self-weaned at 14 months.
"Oliver struggled to become a proficient breastfeeder so I was sad when he decided to wean, but I was not going to force him to continue. Alternatively, I did not feel I should force Elliot to wean because his twin had.
"I did feel some pressure to wean when Elliot was about two-and-a-half. I considered forcing him to wean and I attempted to regularly discourage him, but he was confused. He is a child and to him breastfeeding is as natural as a cuddle.
"The older he gets, the less frequently he asks. If he has had a rough day, he will have a very short stay at my breast and it seems to make him feel a little better. On average he will breastfeed probably three or four times a week at most.
"Before I had children, I remember thinking that sustained breastfeeding was inappropriate. Now that I feel differently, I try to use it as an opportunity to share my experience.
"I'd suggest mums join their local Australian Breastfeeding Association group. There's no fear of judgment there."

What the research says
Dr Karleen Gribble, from the University of Western Sydney's School of Nursing and Midwifery, has researched breastfeeding for more than a decade. Her work has included surveying Australian women and children who have nursed for more than two years. Here are her findings:
- It's a child-driven practice. "Most of the women I spoke to were not doing sustained breastfeeding for nutritional or health reasons, but because it provided comfort and the children were not ready to stop," Dr Gribble says. "Many of the mums admitted to being appalled at the thought of breastfeeding older children before they were pregnant, but once they'd become mums, they'd been led by their children to continue feeding. The children said they felt happy, good or nice when they breastfed."
- The nutritional benefits are not confirmed. "Breast milk has definitely some nutritional value but I can't comment as to what extent," Dr Gribble says. Research into the nutritional benefits of breastmilk for children beyond a year old is limited, she adds.
- Society is critical but support can be found online. "Australia as a society is still a long way from embracing the concept of breastfeeding children beyond even a year," Dr Gribble says. "The 'ick' factor is still very much present when it comes to breastfeeding in general, let alone breastfeeding for years. But long-term breastfeeding mums don't have to hide their practices when online. The internet has enabled mums to find support, advice and knowledge about all aspects of parenting, including breastfeeding."
Should breastfeeding have a time limit? See what our parenting expert Fiona Baker thinks and share your own views in her breastfeeding blog here.
How long did you feed your little one for? Did you feel any judgement from other mums?

No-Slip Ice Carpets-Set of 2 18 18
This product does what it says Our front porch is wood and we have steps so when it snows or we have freezing rain this product works wonderful. I don't put it out until I am going out the door. When I get home I roll it up for the next day. I bought a set three years ago and wore them out. February 7, 2013
Mats These mats are very loosely constructed and expect they will be useless after only a few uses! Not what I expected reading that they can be reused many times. January 2, 2013
Improved traction for older dog on outdoor deck I have tried everything to help my older large breed dog get around, especially on wood and asphalt surfaces outside. He just can't seem to get traction with his back legs. This product was the perfect solution for our back deck. I did "semi-permanently" install it by stapling it to the wood, and even used it down the three steps to the yard. I just swept snow off it and even used pet-safe ice melt a few times. I wish it had lasted longer, as it basically started to disintegrate after a few weeks. However, since it is made of organic material, I don't have to worry about keeping track of all the pieces. I'm ordering another set to use through the summer. March 22, 2012
Ice mat The ice mat was poorly constructed. It began to tear as soon as one person walked on it. I can't imagine how it would last for more than one or two uses. It does provide a non slip surface but it blows around and shreds and starts to come apart with very little use. So not worth the money to use. February 4, 2012
great value This carpet looks attractive and works fine. However, one must consider how to attach it to stairs because it fits too loose without something that aligns it with the stairs. February 2, 2012
SAFETY FIRST! No-Slip Ice Carpets At the start of every winter, I purchase the ice carpet set from Improvements to install on the outside flights of steps leading to my driveway. If I didn't do this, the first freeze would make those wooden steps treacherous! Thanks Improvements for providing this low cost solution to what could be a dangerous situation. January 26, 2012
dont buy this I bought this product in November we just got snow (Chicago, IL) this Ice Carpet is a joke we followed the instructions the Ice Carpet doesn't stay in place. If I could I would return them I brought 2 and I do not recommend this item January 15, 2012
These carpets are life savers! Because our winter precipitation immediately turns to ice these carpets have been invaluable. I can easily walk to the mailbox or to a neighbor's house simply by rolling the carpet out in front of me. Because they come in sets of 2 I can go 20 feet at a time and just keep picking up and rolling out. I have bought them as gifts for friends as well. They store well and I have used one set for a couple of years. January 11, 2012
Saved my dog! Our old dog was having trouble going down the deck stairs. He would slip and we feared for him breaking a leg. The No-Slip ice carpet is a life saver for him. Once he realised he wouldn't slip he started going up and down with confidence and we feel so much better about that! January 11, 2012
great product when you have an ice storm you don't have to spend time chopping at the ice. Just roll out this mat and your on your way. December 28, 2011
No slip ice carpets Amazing how effective these carpets are on my patio cement surface. I feel so secure when I leave my door and walk outside to my car. December 22, 2011
Slippery Steps I bought tis rug because sometimes I clean the steps and they still have ice on them. Last week an installer from Lowes had to go up my steps and the rug helped him get up the steps with a microwave without falling. I've already recommended the rug to my friends. December 21, 2011
No Slip This is the second set of these carpets that we have ordered. We used the first set for about 3 winters. They hold up well when allowed to dry between uses. We live in an area where we only have to use the 3 or 4 time a year but they do provide very good footing when there are icy conditions. October 24, 2011
Perfect for stairs I purchased this item for my 81 yr old mother, who lives in her own home. We are not always able to get over to clear her stairs early enough on a morning after a snowfall or ice storm. (Typical in the MIdwest) The Ice carpets are light weight and easy for my mother to put on the stairs so she can retrieve her morning paper, safely. October 11, 2011

("TRB") refers to the announcement made by TRB on 17 October 2011 in relation to the production stoppage by Texchem-Pack (Thailand) Co., Ltd. ("TXPT"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Texchem-Pack (M) Bhd. which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Texchem-Pack Holdings (S) Ltd., an approximately 70.48% owned subsidiary of TRB, due to severe flooding in Ayutthaya, Thailand.
The Board of TRB wishes to update that TXPT has made substantial progress in restoring its manufacturing facilities in Thailand. TXPT has been partially operational since January 2012, and expects restoration works to be fully completed by the end of the second quarter of 2012.
TXPT commenced the process for insurance claim in November 2011 and has since been awarded by the insurance company a total of RM19.8 million towards their claim for property damage and an initial compensation for business interruption caused by the flood.
TXPT is now awaiting final settlement of payment, and expects to commence claims for the loss of revenue opportunity arising from the flood in the third quarter of 2012.
This announcement is dated 27 February 2012.
