"Why do you think we're holding a normal trial with a Pok�mon as the defendant? Because Pok�mon have souls and intelligence to match ours. One of these days, maybe the entire world will come to see that ..."Brendan Namron: Ace Attorney is an ongoing series of "cases", written in the style of an Ace Attorney game transcript, that attempts to tell the tale of Brendan ten years after his journey through Hoenn as a Pok�mon Trainer; he has become a defense attorney. A Fan Fic written by Strife89 (real name: Michael Carr), it only has two cases fully written, with a third partially completed. The author has the intention of creating a set of four or five cases that tie in to each other, forming a complete story. The series was inspired by ShadowKnux372's Phoenix's SSBB Case Files.Brendan is accompanied by two Pok�mon, Phoenix (a Torchic) and Skye (a Kirlia). Little is known about them, except that they are the children of two of the Pok�mon that Brendan traveled with during his years as a trainer.The series is currently being posted on The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where members are given the opportunity to "play" the trials, in a similar manner to the traditional Ace Attorney gameplay.

PhD students and junior researchers from the School of Chemistry are joining distinguished international speakers in presenting their research at the Cardiff Spring Conference 2011.
Organised annually by the School of Chemistry, the prestigious event welcomes researchers from institutions all over the world to Cardiff to discuss their research with colleagues and members of the public.
Cardiff students and post-doctoral researchers will have an opportunity to share the limelight with these established figures.
Jump to audio
One such student, James Wixey, will be presenting on the topic of From Chalk to Catalyst: Hydroamination Catalysis using Calcium. James' research looks at the use of alternative catalysts for pharmaceutical processes, in place of traditional catalysts that are expensive and in short supply.
"I've given a few talks over my academic career already. It is still a bit daunting speaking in front of some of the highly distinguished doctors and professors, but I think I'll be okay", explained James.
"Talking about your work and getting it into the public domain is an important part of your PhD training. This is a nice way of showcasing what I've been up to for the last few years"
The two-day conference takes place 16-17 May at the School of Chemistry. The visiting speakers are Sir Fraser Stoddart FRS (Northwestern University), Daan Frenkel FRS (University of Cambridge), John A. Pickett FRS (Rothamsted Research), Phil Bartlett (University of Southampton), Dennis Dougherty (California Institute of Technology), Sven Lidin (Lund University, Sweden), and Duncan Bruce (University of York).
Attendees will be able to hear these speakers discuss their world-leading research on topics such as how organic chemistry can be used to help molecular biology, understanding the brain's nicotine receptors, and understanding incommensurate composite structures.
More information, including a programme of events and a full list of topics and speakers, is available here.

Endometriosis Symptoms
The main symptom of endometriosis is severe dysmenorrhoea (menstrual pain), also chronic fatigue, bloating, constipation, menorrhagia, and nausea. [more]
Hormone Contraception Therapy
Oral contraception pills as hormone contraception therapy may be used by your gynecologist to reduce your pelvic pain from endometriosis. [more]
Endometriosis Surgery
Endometriosis surgery may include a laparoscopic exam, a surgical procedure to remove the endometrium tissue implants, or a robotic hysterectomy. [more]
What is Endometriosis?
What is endometriosis? Endometriosis is a disorder that produces dysmenorrhoea (excessive pain) during menstruation due to endometrium tissue growing outside of the uterus. Endometrium tissue normally grows on the surface of the uterus. The endometrium is affected by hormonal changes that cause the menstrual cycle. The endometrium will thicken and then breakdown and produce blood which causes the monthly period. When the endometrium tissue grows on other organs of the pelvic region the same thickening, breakdown and bleeding occurs unfortunately the blood has nowhere to go and causes complications such as severe cramping. Endometriosis falls into the domain of obstetrics and gynecology (What is gynecology?) because it causes pain when not pregnant and it may cause infertility when trying to become pregnant. The gynecologist (what is a gynecologist) is the specialist that diagnoses and treats endometriosis. The gynecologist is usually an obstetrician (what is an obstetrician), so whether you need to treat the endometriosis so that you can still conceive, or not, your obgyn doctor will be able to help. Pelvic pain needs to be assessed by the gynecologist because pelvic pain can also be caused by premenstrual syndrome (what is PMS), ovarian cysts, pelvic pain during pregnancy, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
What is endometriosis? Endometriosis is not the same for all women because where the endometrial tissue is growing and how much is growing is always different from patient to patient. The endometrium tissue may be growing in the ovaries, which is fairly common. Endometriosis is usually located on the organs and tissues of the pelvic area in the majority of women. While pelvic pain is the main symptom other symptoms may occur such as excessive vaginal bleeding, pain during intercourse, infertility, painful urination, and painful bowel movements. There are other symptoms that are generalized such as nausea, diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, and constipation. The above symptoms are also present in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), endometrial cancer, and a prolapsed bladder.What is endometriosis? Endometriosis needs to be diagnosed by the gynecologist who confirms it with a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure that looks closely at all of the pelvic organs. It is important for the gynecologist to see where the endometrium tissue is growing, how much there is, if adhesions have stuck organs together, if they have formed cysts, and scar tissue build-up. The following pages will cover: What is endometriosis caused by? What are endometriosis symptoms? What is endometriosis diagnosed with? What is endometriosis treated with? And What is endometriosis surgery? This website is an educational series of websites created by Dr. Simon Weiss and the team at Specialists in Obstetrics and Gynecology. On the right side you will see specific obgyn subjects that each website covers. Some of them include: Giving birth, early pregnancy, high risk pregnancy, labor and delivery, gynecologic oncology, d and c procedure, robotic hysterectomy, what is a hysterectomy, and what is robotic surgery.

HP's Project Voyager gains speed with self-sufficient servers
Summary: HP has unveiled the next phase of Project Voyager, a venture designed to "redefine the economics and expectations of data center operations in the cloud era."
Hewlett-Packard is announcing that its Project Voyager initiative is finally paying off with the debut of its new ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8) servers for enterprise customers
Boasted as "the world's most self-sufficient line of servers," the Gen8 servers with HP's ProActive Insight hardware and software architecture designed to deliver server life-cycle automation, continuous intelligence on server health, power usage and other diagnostics.
Thus, the configuration is touted to deploy online system updates at least three times faster with 93 percent less downtime.
Mark Potter, senior vice president and general manager of HP's Industry standard Servers and Software unit, explained in prepared remarks the inspiration and goals behind Gen8 as well as Project Voyager:
The skyrocketing cost of operations in the data center is unsustainable, and enterprises are looking to HP to help solve this problem. We are delivering innovative intelligence technologies that enable servers to virtually take care of themselves, allowing data center staff to devote more time to business innovation.
Here's a glance at a few of the more than 150 client-designed innovations to be seen on the ProLiant Gen8 servers:
- Enable IT staff to save over 30 days of administration time a year per person in an average 10,000 square-foot data center
- Improve data-intensive storage performance by approximately seven times with a converged server
- Saving $7 million in energy costs in a single data center over three years while delivering roughly double compute-per-watt capacity
- Dubbed as the "only server that automatically analyzes its own health across 1,600 data points," so it can enable clients to resolve unplanned downtime periods up to 66 percent faster
Project Voyager, which launched in November to "automates every aspect of the server life cycle," is actually the third installment in HP's roadmap to transform the server market. The first two missions, Project Moonshot and Odyssey, tackled building servers for extremely low-energy computing and mission critical computing, respectively.
HP ProLiant Gen8 servers are available through an early-adopter program starting today, and general availability worldwide launches in March.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Head to Italy, Remain Ridiculousby Hilton Hater at . Comments
MAKE IT STOP! Someone please put a bullet in the head of this show!
- THG intern forced to cover The Real Housewives of New Jersey, following last night's episode.
It's hard to ask for a better tease than that, isn't it?!? Try not to purchase any firearms today, Real Housewives Girl, and entertain us with another detailed review of the most nauseating show on television...
I just have to be honest. I am getting so sick of this used barf bag of a show. I want to scream every time I look in the channel guide and I see YET AGAIN that next week's episode is not the season finale. I then scream, "Nooooooooooo!" at the television until the dude next door pounds on the wall to get me to shut up. And I'm sorry if I use a lot of my CAPS LOCK key this week because that is the closest I can get to screaming through a review.
Well, the first big whoop covered this time was Shirtless Joe's stupid drunk driving accident. He rolled his truck somewhere in the great Jersey wilderness. But dry those eyes and turn that frown upside down!
Shirtless is safe and sound and he has a very eloquent explanation for this idiotic mistake: "I was commin' down the street and I yawned for a second. And as I yawned I floored it a little bit." Then he hit trees and a pole but, don't you worry your pretty little heads for a moment because an angel was looking over him. Then he called the cops and drank more scotch while he waited, like all highly intelligent people.
"God forbid anything happen to Joe," says Teresa. "I don't know what I would have done." I know what you would have done - moved in with relatives ASAP as your house was immediately repossessed.
If you think Danielle Staub is unaware of this whole Shirtless Joe debacle, you're wrong. Our favorite skeletal ex-exotic-dancer-turned-nightmarish-housewife meets with Discount Danny, Ex-Bodyguard Extraordinaire to discuss how Shirtless was arrested for a "DWI." Though it has absolutely nothing to do with her, Danielle is ticked off at Shirtless Joe's behavior.
She wonders why he was out at 2:00 in the morning. "I know strip clubs are open at that hour," says Danielle, suggesting, I guess, that perhaps Shirtless strayed from Teresa. She knows all this top-secret strip club information because she frequents these clubs to fling her praying mantis-like body around metal poles and to spread her legs for all the randoms assembled."I'm going to continue living in the love and light that they make fun of while their darkness rains upon them," cackles Danielle.
It is at this moment in the show when I have my first screaming fit. I DON'T EVEN CARE ANYMORE! This stupid feud is so played and I am so tired of it. I am weary, weary to the bones. Please, make it stop. It's not funny, it's not sassy, it's not anything but old and stinky and gross. Someone please put this show out of its misery like that brave wilderness boy in Old Yeller.
Somewhere else, who even cares where, Caroline has her 100 millionth restaurant meal with Teresa and Jacqueline. Seriously, what is left for these women to discuss? They don't work, they don't do good deeds for the community, they don't do anything except have these lunches. What more is there to cover? Well, as we learned tonight, they can still brainstorm vacations Teresa doesn't have the money for. They all decide to go to Italy.
Golly gee willikers... I wonder who came up with this brilliant plan? MAYBE THE BRAVO PRODUCERS? Could it be? BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ELSE GOING ON?? Oh Bravo, sweet Bravo. Why have you forsaken us? Is there so little happening in these women's lives that we have to see a forced fakey-fake trip to Italy?
Down at the Brownstone, that over-decorated rubble heap that probably smells like a used ashtray inside an old Pontiac, Caroline waddles in to try to sweet talk Albert into going to Italy. While elsewhere, Jacqueline dresses her baby like a little Fazoli's employee to try to get Silent Bob to agree to the trip.
MEANWHILE, Teresa breaks the news to those delightful little daughters of hers that they are going to Italy. How adorable - all the conversations being shown all together! So not staged! At all! SO NOT FORCED BY THE PRODUCERS! Then we get to see all the husbands giving in and saying yes. And this is so surprising because we totally thought they were going to say no!
Then all the little people at all the different little houses across the little Jersey town all pack their little bags for their little trip. It's like the beginning of a really bad family Christmas movie. Let's hope the Guidices accidentally leave all their children behind. And that the children get into the knife drawer.
The morning of the trip arrives. The multigenerational travelers assemble at Teresa's house. They have smiles on their faces and are clearly in denial as to the cold, hard truth of what they will experience over the next week. "I have one duffel bag for the hair accessories!" Teresa screams to everyone. Shirtless Joe brings bottles of red wine onto the airport shuttle bus because heaven forbid we hit the road while sober. No, definitely no alcohol problem here!
Poor Venice now has another huge problem other than the fact that it is slowly sinking into the water: They have a swarm of Jersey losers in tacky fur coats crawling all over the place, screaming and yelling down the historic alleyways, knocking down unfortunate bystanders as they sprint in the direction of a Chanel. Luckily they're only there a day before they swarm onto a cruise ship. Can Venice survive this hellish day?
"This is bee-you-tee-ful!" Teresa screams before stopping to ponder, "Venice is a town that's made on water?" They do the mandatory Venice activity of all gross tourists: Going on a gondola ride. Jacqueline is pissed that the gondola drivers don't sing like they do at the Venetian in Vegas. Joe is seasick and grouchy, like he usually is at home. After watching this nonsense it really got me thinking: Where does that term "Ugly American" come from? I couldn't begin to guess!
In a rare moment of clarity Jacqueline says, "We looked like a bunch of idiots," about the behavior of her group. Teresa is standing up in a water taxi screaming and yelling on their way to the cruise ship. You wish they'd go under a bridge with very low clearance and she'd smack her little head right on the stones.
The cruise ship is, like all other cruise ships, the most hideously tacky thing imaginable on this planet. Once aboard, everyone toasts with copious alcohol as the ship departs. Then Teresa plunges head-first overboard into the oil slick the ship has spewn in its wake. Her fur coat immediately absorbs the oil and she is pulled under by the very finery she thinks keeps her afloat in this world.
The irony makes us all weep. Then they announce the season is over! No, this is all wishful thinking.
Side note: I'm sorry but WHO THE HELL GOES ALL THE WAY TO FREAKING ITALY ONLY TO BOARD A GENERIC CRUISE SHIP AS SOON AS YOU GET THERE?? WHO??? Also, WHY ON EARTH DID CAROLINE AND ALBERT AGREE TO GET ON A LOCKED SHIP WITH THE GUIDICES AND THEIR PACK O' HELLIONS??
Well, this is a Housewives show so of course crazy ship high jinks must ensue! What are these high jinks, you ask? Well, they include:
- Jacqueline pretending to be a masseuse and giving Caroline a crappy massage! Caroline tries to make a frowny face but it's just too darn hysterical!
- Caroline and Albert babysitting the brat-tastic Giudice girls, getting kicked out of the hot tub, then taking them to the "Teen Zone" where the girls bitch and complain the entire time. I was praying Caroline would toss them overboard. At least that would have been a vaguely interesting moment in the intellectual Sahara desert that is this show.
- Jacqueline and Silent Bob taking a cooking class where they make pesto—quite possibly the easiest dish ever to make and by no means a dish that requires the guidance of a chef. And Jacqueline gets a hunk of basil in her teeth! It's so incredibly funny yet also so incredibly adorable!
- Jacqueline and Teresa acting like idiots in an empty cruise ship bar—possibly the saddest moment of this entire show so far.
- Jacqueline getting sea sick and looking all pukey and dizzy—unfortunately for us she doesn't pitch forward and land on her face.
- The revelation that Jacqueline's two sons, C.J. and Nicholas, are actually on the cruise ship despite the fact that we have seen neither hide nor hair of them so far. C.J. has apparently been drugged because he's passed out in a bed and Nicholas must be in the ship's cargo hold because we don't ever really see him, we just hear his name mentioned.
- Milania's crappy fourth birthday party where she conked out at the dinner table and screamed when her mom tried to rouse her for the cake.
I feel despair now when I see it's Monday and I have to watch this broken-down 1994 Ford Taurus of a show again. I mean, how long is this season anyway? I swear it's been like 16 million episodes so far. It makes me want to take a swan dive off a cruise ship into the icy Atlantic.
Darling, I have met these ladies and have interviewed them for my TV show Cognac's Corner and my internet show cognacscorner.tv. There is nothing especially spectacular about them and you have written in your column that they are lacking in jobs, charity events and things to do! They must have paid Bravo to get on the first season because why would Bravo build a show about these very ordinary housewives that crave drama.
Great review!!! I'll have to come back for a recap of the last 2 shows on RHONJ Teresa was my favorite housewife until this season... asking for tongue and bragging how often they have sex have turned my stomach. Don't forget screaming for Joe to spank her on the boat taxi to the ship... ugggggg! I think Teresa is still in denial that the contents of her home are up for auction, but that won't stop the auction from continuing. The spending is definitely out of control ... bankrupt, but buys a canary diamond for his wife. What goes around ... eventually comes around.
I've taken to visiting your reviews rather than actually watching the show now. While I admit I'm still curious from time to time as to what's going on down there, it's much more efficient taking a few minutes to read your summaries rather than wasting an hour of my life restraining myself from putting my head through the television (and several thousand times more entertaining). Thanks for saving me an hour of my life every week, it's greatly appreciated.
I cannot imagine having to sit through two more episodes before the finale. If I have to hear Teresa asking Joe for the tongue one more time, I will throw up my pasta fagioli. Please Bravo, give me a gun so I can blow my brains out.
hilarous blog. I had the exact same thoughts including hoping the Terresa's awful children fell into the canal. They have no money but they can take the whole clan to Italy. Poor Italians do not need to see those people and think we all act like that. The worst children I have EVER seen are Terres's and Joes. They are the worst parents and those girls will all be ugly adult just like their obno mom
Oh, come on. We watch because it makes us feel like real ladies, and so nice and normal!
Dear Hilton Hater. This has to be one of my absolute favorite reviews that you've written. I've never seen an episode of The Real Housewives, because I think it's effing retarded and a waste of time, but lmfao your comments are funny as hell.
The only reason why I will miss any Bravo show is missing this review/recap. How can I say this...all the Bravo shows have the hand print of someone who has contempt for women perhaps mommy problems. Out of all of them NJ being the most vapid. No one was enjoying Italy except fric and frac or Terese and Jackie. Joe is a time bomb waiting to go off. In all these Bravo shows it is like the men are designed to buy high price tag items like jewels, cars, houses and at the bec and call of these horrid women. Andy Cohen has to get out of programing and into intense therapy!

PS3 | March 12, 2013
Developed by SCE Santa Monica
Published by Sony Computer Entertainment
The Pitch:
Vengeance is born in the fires of betrayal in this prequel to the best-selling God of War franchise. Six months have passed since Kratos stood over the bodies of his wife and child, his hands stained with their blood – tricked by Ares into murdering the only people he ever loved. Swearing to avenge them, Kratos broke the blood oath that bound him to Ares, but oaths to Olympus are not so easily broken… Sentenced to an eternity chained within a prison for the living damned, Kratos battles insanity at the hands of the Furies. He will be tested as he seeks freedom, redemption for his sins, and the clarity to avenge his family.
It gets better.
In medias res. That's Latin. It does not translate to "It gets better," it means "into the middle of things." This is how God of War Ascension begins. Confused, chained, and groggy, Kratos awakes with no memories of how he arrived a prisoner of the Furies. His first instinct is to start killing things. That's not entirely out of his character. The Furies, however, are acting out of character; punishing him for breaking an oath he hasn't broken yet. These creatures of Greek myth traditionally seek out and punish those that have killed a family member, which Kratos has done previously to this prequel (see: a flashback God of War 1 that occurs chronologically right before Ascension). Here they seek to punish Kratos for breaking his oath to Ares, but the punishment begins during the contemplation stage and before Kratos has taken one step towards his revenge against the god. In fact, nightmare visions caused by the Furies are part of what drive Kratos towards this goal.
Then you meet a really tough looking fellow prisoner and he gets teleported away by the gods. After that you experience a flashback. For those keeping track, you are now experiencing a prequel in the prequel: a prequelception. Don't worry if you're confused, it gets better.
But not before it gets worse. The beginning of God of War Ascension is an out of context, emotionless roller coaster ride. You fight something large, it turns into something larger, and then you encounter familiar scripted moments. These specific moments are reused from previous God of War titles, and play out verbatim, only with a different coat of paint. One example early in the game is from God of War 3's Daedalus chamber spinning 90 degrees with you inside of it, fighting a wave of enemies with each spin. In Ascension's first level, it is a normal prison cell being held by a giant with a hundred arms, and with each twist you fight a wave of enemies. You'll spot more as you embark on this adventure.
During the flashback that begins an hour into your adventure, you get the first bit of story explaining what is going on. A shadowy man gives Kratos some trinkets, tells him the Furies (which he hasn't met yet) are causing his madness, and that he must defeat them to regain his sanity. We're off to see the Oracle. For reasons.
The first half of the game is all about walking down a yellow brick road and occasionally spattering it with blood. It is amongst the worst God of War you'll have ever played. The combat encounters are boring and poorly designed. The environments aren't that interesting. There is no known motivation for anything! You're assumedly making progress towards the Oracle, but don't really know why you are walking in a particular direction other than because it's the path before you. There's very little exploration, even for a God of War title. I found 9 out of the 10 hidden items in the game without a walkthrough on my first playthrough.
In previous titles, Kratos was angry. For as much gruff as he's given, he was an interesting character in the original God of War. He was less about killing everything and more about 'taking you with me!' He was as suicidal as he was vengeful; pursuing the power to kill a god, but also seeking a good death for his own crimes. Here, I have no idea why Kratos wants to visit the Oracle. Orkos, the shadowy figure that sent you on this quest, already knows everything the Oracle is going to tell him. Maybe Kratos wouldn't have believed it from him? Whatever. Her words lead Kratos to the second half of the game: where he needs to retrieve her eyes.
She didn't have those on her at the time. They had recently been removed.
Things significantly improve as Kratos travels to island of Delos. It starts off normally enough, but soon you are navigating a giant statue of Apollo. While smaller in gaming hourage than the Temple of Pandora or the Island of Creation, the statue and its many levels (each named after the body part) comprise the single large dungeon you'll explore in Ascension. In fact, everything improves once you reach Apollo's Ribs. The story beats become more frequent, there's a greater feeling of continuity between combat arenas, the enemy encounters feel less forced, and the puzzles and transversal become fun. It's like a whole new, polished game. I recognized the opening areas of Apollo's feet from some of the earliest footage they showed of Ascension, so I might assume this island was designed or finished first. Besides a hiccup (difficulty spike) during the Trials of Archimedes, Delos is great God of War gaming. It has one of the better boss fights of the entire series, and the series is known for its boss fights.
Or you could skip all of this and play the multiplayer. Remember that buff prisoner you met back at the start? He's you, in multiplayer. Saved by the gods, you pledge allegiance and gain a class: Fighter, Tank, Rogue, or Wizard. You can switch at any time between rounds and each levels up independently. Each earns perks and abilities and can equip different gear. A lot of the questionable balance changes made to single player, like limited use items and weapons, make a ton of sense in this environment. They were balanced for multiplayer and were carried over into single player. Sprinting, an emphasis on cooldown abilities, capturing territories — it's all here.
I must stress that I deeply respect Ascension for introducing a distinctly unique multiplayer mode. The camera, the pacing of the combat, and player mobility all feels like God of War and it doesn't offer a direct parallel to most multiplayer games you've likely played. If I had to draw one, it might be closer to Death Row for the Xbox than Powerstone, but with more combos, territory domination, and less ultimate death frisbee. It's frantic, violent, and constant. Unfortunately, there aren't that many maps or play styles, and the combat requires memorizing a few specific dial-a-combos.
I've only played a few hours and I feel like there's not much more to see. It's slightly sloppy combat where 2 on 1 almost always win. Worse, it combines Call of Duty's grinding XP for ability unlocks while also requiring Quake's memorization of power weapon spawn timers. As a part of a stronger package, it would have made a great experiment and a fun diversion. Next to a half-baked campaign, the multiplayer is not sufficiently competent to carry this package.
God of War Ascension is confused, repetitive, directed, amazing, and experimental. It heralds the end of the generation, but itself is a story of the beginning. Both Alpha and Omega. How appropriate.

US economy set for solid growth, shrinking deficit: Congressional Budget Office
Published on Feb 5, 2014 1:41 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States is expected to post solid economic growth of more than 3.0 percent through 2016, accompanied by a shrinking deficit, a government agency said Tuesday.
The Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan analysis arm of Congress, said in its latest report that the federal government's tax and spending policies would not constrain economic growth as much as they had in fiscal 2013, which ended Sept 30.
And state and local governments were expected to increase spending after several years of budget tightening, the CBO said.
In its economic and budget outlook report for 2014 to 2024, the CBO predicted growth in gross domestic product (GDP) at 3.1 per cent this year and 3.4 per cent in 2015 and 2016.

Approximately 90 percent of the money Americans spend on food is spent on
processed foods, and food marketers do a masterful job at making it seem like fast foods and junk foods are the obvious choice.
Some even manage to make you believe such foods are a healthy option. But not only are these processed foods "dead" and devoid of any natural nutrition, they can also be loaded with potentially carcinogenic substances.
Just over a decade ago, researchers discovered that a cancer-causing and potentially neurotoxic chemical called acrylamide is created when carbohydrate-rich foods are cooked at high temperatures, whether baked, fried, roasted, grilled or toasted.
The chemical is formed from a reaction between sugars and an amino acid (asparagine) during high-temperature cooking. The answer, of course, is to limit or eliminate processed foods and increase the amount of whole, raw foods in your diet. I typically aim for 80-85 percent raw food in my own diet.

Integrating privacy, audit and compliance initiatives
Not so long ago, security issues were viewed as a necessary evil -- in many ways the life insurance policy of the IT world. Managers tackled those issues because it was prudent and wise to do so, not because there was a payoff for doing it right. But those were the old days, before a new generation of privacy, audit and compliance requirements began to realign the value proposition. As a consequence of meeting these requirements, organizations also are starting to reap new benefits in the form of customer loyalty and more-efficient business processes.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - This summer Lee County opened up its brand new Emergency Operations Center, a building where local leaders have a place to gather when a disaster strikes.
Public safety officials spent years envisioning the new EOC facility and pulled together $16 million to get it built. Now it's open and ready for emergencies.
The building can withstand winds up to 200 mph. Inside, in the 4500 square foot situation room there are more than 100 work stations. Also in the situation room is a massive 40 foot wide screen.
When it gets too noisy in the situation room, groups can find space in seven, smaller conference rooms, including one with video conferencing.
It's a startling change from the way things used to be in the old emergency building. The cold war-era bunker-style building dates back to the 1970's and is much smaller.
"The building was packed and noisy and very busy and very cramped and that adds to the stress," Interim Director of Emergency Management, Gerald Campbell explained of the old building.
Many officials remember the tight working spaces in a room that was barely 1400 square feet. Television stations did live reports from the hallway outside the main room, and people had to be careful, or they'd trip over cables!
The new space also includes a large area for people to eat and catch a second wind.

Writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Tom Wright helps us to understand from the beginning of the letter that something unexplained yet terrible had happened. We feel the pain of Paul from the very opening lines, as he confronts dreadful issues of sorrow and hurt, emerging with a clearer picture of what it meant to say that Jesus himself suffered for us and rose in triumph. The letter itself moves through tragedy and from there leads into the sunlight.

Aviation Safety:
Preliminary Information on Aircraft Icing and Winter Operations
GAO-10-441T: Published: Feb 24, 2010. Publicly Released: Feb 24, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4803
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Ice formation on aircraft can disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wings and prevent the aircraft from taking off or decrease the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft. Taxi and landing operations can also be risky in winter weather. Despite a variety of technologies designed to prevent ice from forming on planes, as well as persistent efforts by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other stakeholders to mitigate icing risks, icing remains a serious concern. As part of an ongoing review, this statement provides preliminary information on (1) the extent to which large commercial airplanes have experienced accidents and incidents related to icing and contaminated runways, (2) the efforts of FAA and aviation stakeholders to improve safety in icing and winter weather operating conditions, and (3) the challenges that continue to affect aviation safety in icing and winter weather operating conditions. GAO analyzed data obtained from FAA, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and others. GAO conducted data reliability testing and determined that the data used in this report were sufficiently reliable for our purposes. Further, GAO obtained information from senior FAA and NTSB officials, representatives of the Flight Safety Foundation, and representatives of some key aviation industry stakeholder organizations. GAO provided a draft of this statement to FAA, NTSB, and NASA and incorporated their comments where appropriate.
According to NTSB's aviation accident database, from 1998 to 2009 one large commercial airplane was involved in a nonfatal accident after encountering icing conditions during flight and five large commercial airplanes were involved in nonfatal accidents due to snow or ice on runways. However, FAA and others recognize that incidents are potential precursors to accidents and the many reported icing incidents suggest that these airplanes face ongoing risks from icing. For example, FAA and NASA databases contain information on over 600 icing-related incidents involving large commercial airplanes. FAA and other aviation stakeholders have undertaken many efforts to improve safety in icing conditions. For example, in 1997, FAA issued a multiyear plan for improving the safety of aircraft operating in icing conditions and has since made progress on the objectives specified in its plan by issuing regulations, airworthiness directives, and voluntary guidance, among other initiatives. Other government entities that have taken steps to increase aviation safety in icing conditions include NTSB, which has issued numerous recommendations as a result of its aviation accident investigations, and NASA, which has contributed to icing-related research. The private sector has deployed various technologies on aircraft, such as wing deicers, and operated ground deicing and runway clearing programs at airports. GAO identified challenges related to winter weather aviation operations that, if addressed by ongoing or planned efforts, could improve safety. These challenges include (1) improving the timeliness of FAA's winter weather rulemaking efforts; (2) ensuring the availability of adequate resources for icing-related research and development; (3) ensuring that pilot training is thorough and realistic; (4) ensuring the collection and distribution of accurate weather information; and (5) developing a more integrated approach to effectively manage winter operations.

November 28, 2014
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The state's once troubled Medicaid program is now thriving thanks to widespread reform, a state official said.
"We're going to pay all the bills," Health and Family Services Secretary Mark Birdwhistell said Monday. "I feel very good about where we are."
Birdwhistell's comments were made about two years after officials projected a deficit in the program as high as $675 million, which was later reduced to $125 million.
Instead, Birdwhistell said the state will be able to handle the $5.7 billion cost of the program, which helps 710,000 of the state's lowest income and disabled residents.
Birdwhistell pointed to the state's ability to provide more generic drugs to patients while actually dropping the average number of prescriptions per recipient as a major reason for the decline. The average cost of health care for Medicaid recipients also dropped slightly, from $119 a week in 2005 to $115 last year.
The reforms, which were made possible by a major federal waiver approved last year, have helped the state land $55 million worth of additional federal funding.
While the outlook is encouraging, some Democratic leaders are hesitant to say the state's Medicaid crisis has been averted.
"I won't say I feel confident that we've overcome the deficit," said Rep. Stan Lee, D-Elizabethtown, the co-chairman of the Medicaid Oversight and Advisory Committee. "But we've had some very, very good beginnings."
Not all the reforms, however, have met with success. Birdwhistell said pilot programs designed to educate residents about preventable problems like heart disease and obesity are not making as immediate an impact as hoped.
Rep. Tom Burch, D-Louisville, said he was concerned about Medicaid benefits being slashed while reforms struggled to gain footing. He said his fears, however, have not been realized.

Jerry Sandusky jury back deliberating
BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- Jurors in Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse trial listened again Friday to testimony from a key prosecution witness against the former Penn State assistant football coach, then went back behind closed doors for a second day of deliberations.
The jury had talked for more than eight hours Thursday before adjourning at the end of a long session that featured dueling portrayals of Sandusky as a "predatory pedophile" or the victim of a conspiracy between investigators and his accusers.
They started their second day by rehearing testimony given by another Penn State assistant, Mike McQueary, about an unknown boy alleged assaulted by Sandusky inside a football facility shower.
Jurors under communications blackout
The 12 jurors deliberating Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse trial have been sequestered and have no access to friends, family, news or social media. Story
The jurors took copious notes, appearing to pay close attention to McQueary's statement that he did not see penetration, but did see a boy pressed up against a wall with Sandusky behind him.
Jurors also reheard the testimony of a McQueary family friend, Dr. Jonathan Dranov, who said that McQueary told him a different version of the story that didn't include the then-graduate assistant seeing sexual contact.
However, McQueary testified that he hadn't told Dranov all that he saw.
As attorneys read the testimony from transcripts, Sandusky paid close attention while his wife, Dottie, sat behind him. It was the first time Dottie Sandusky heard the testimony, because she wasn't present when the two men took the stand.
Sandusky is accused of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period, using his charity for at-risk youth, The Second Mile, as a source of victims who would be dazzled by gifts, grateful for his attention and -- perhaps most importantly -- unlikely to speak up.
Sandusky has repeatedly denied the allegations. The defense portrayed him as the hapless victim of a conspiracy to convict him of heinous crimes. They explain the 48 charges against him as the result of an investigatory team out for blood and accusers who willingly played along in hopes of securing a big payday.
Shortly after the jury began deliberations Thursday, attorneys for Sandusky's 33-year-old adopted son, Matt, dropped a bombshell, saying he'd been abused by the former coach and had been prepared to testify against him if called to the stand.
Sequestered during deliberations, the jury was under orders from Judge John Cleland to ponder only the case placed in their hands.
The jury heard from eight accusers who claim Sandusky engaging in sexual contact ranging from kissing and fondling to forced oral or anal sex.
One testified he felt at times like Sandusky's son, at others his "girlfriend."
A second accuser -- a foster child at the time authorities say he was abused -- said Sandusky threatened he would never see his biological family again if he told anyone he was forced to perform sex acts but later took it back and claimed to love him.
One accuser testified to receiving what he called "creepy love letters" from Sandusky. "I know that I have made my share of mistakes," read one handwritten note. "However, I hope that I will be able to say that I cared. There has been love in my heart."
The defense said the longwinded letters were simply the manifestation of a personality disorder characterized by excessive emotionality and attention seeking.
Two people who prosecutors say were sexually abused by Sandusky haven't been identified. McQueary's testimony is the basis for charges involving one of those alleged victims.
It was also McQueary's testimony that touched off the massive scandal that rocked Penn State and forced a re-examination of the role of college administrators in reporting abuse allegations.
Sandusky has denied the allegations, but did not testify in his own defense. Jurors are aware, however, of the denials he gave "Rock Center" just after his arrest. In it, Sandusky seemed to stumble at times and struggled to give direct answers to questions about his conduct.
Asked if he was sexually attracted to boys, Sandusky told NBC's Bob Costas: "Sexually attracted, you know, I, I enjoy young people. I, I love to be around them. ... No, I'm not sexually attracted to young boys."
Senior Deputy Attorney General Joseph McGettigan III seized on that in closing arguments, saying: "I would think that the automatic response, if someone asks you if you're a criminal, a pedophile, a child molester, or anything along those lines, would be: `You're crazy. No. Are you nuts?"
Prosecutors said Sandusky used gifts and the allure of Penn State's vaunted football program to attract and abuse vulnerable boys who came from troubled homes, often ones without a father figure in the house.
Penn State Scandal
Former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was found guilty on 45 of 48 counts in his child sex abuse trial. ESPN.com Topics has full coverage of the trial and the verdict. Topics Page »
"What you should do is come out and say to the defendant that he molested and abused and give them back their souls," McGettigan told jurors. "I give them to you. Acknowledge and give them justice."
Defense attorney Joe Amendola argued that Sandusky was targeted by investigators who coached accusers into making false claims about a generous man whose charity gave them much-needed love.
"So out of the blue (after) all these years, when Jerry Sandusky is in his mid-50s, he decides to become a pedophile? Does that make sense to anybody?" Amendola asked rhetorically.
The jury, which includes nine people with ties to Penn State, had already begun deliberating when Matt Sandusky's attorneys issued a statement alleging that his father abused him.
"During the trial, Matt Sandusky contacted us and requested our advice and assistance in arranging a meeting with prosecutors to disclose for the first time in this case that he is a victim of Jerry Sandusky's abuse," Andrew Shubin and Justine Andronici said in the statement. "At Matt's request, we immediately arranged a meeting between him and the prosecutors and investigators.
"This has been an extremely painful experience for Matt and he has asked us to convey his request that the media respect his privacy. There will be no further comment."
Matt Sandusky went to live with Sandusky and his wife as a foster child and was adopted by them as an adult. He is one of Jerry Sandusky's six adopted children.
Shortly after Jerry Sandusky's arrest, Matt Sandusky's ex-wife went to court to keep her former father-in-law away from their three young children. Jill Jones successfully obtained a restraining order forbidding the children from sleeping over at their grandparents' home.
Around the same time, details emerged that Matt Sandusky had attempted suicide just four months after first going to live with the couple in 1995. He had come into the home through The Second Mile.
Shortly after the suicide attempt, Sandusky's probation officer wrote, "The probation department has some serious concerns about the juvenile's safety and his current progress in placement with the Sandusky family," according to court records supplied to The Associated Press by his birth mother, Debra Long.
Despite those concerns, probation and child welfare officials recommended continued placement with the Sandusky family, and the judge overseeing his case agreed.
During testimony last week, an accuser known as Victim 4 said Matt Sandusky was living at the Sandusky home at the time he stayed there overnight and testified that Jerry Sandusky came into the shower with the two boys and "started pumping his hand full of soap." Matt Sandusky shut off the shower and left, appearing nervous, the witness said.
On Friday, three of Matt Sandusky's siblings -- Jeffrey Sandusky, Jon Sandusky and Kara Werner -- were in court with their parents.
Another son, Ray Sandusky, who lives in Brentwood, Tenn., said he had no comment and closed the door on an Associated Press reporter.
A sixth Sandusky child, E.J., could not be located by the AP on Friday.

9/3: Pease dismisses "vanilla" tag for Florida; discusses Jones, Showers, freshmen receivers
Florida Gators offensive coordinator Brent Pease met with the media on Tuesday ahead of the second game of the season against the Miami Hurricanes on Sept. 7.
Asked Tuesday if the Gators purposely held back on offense in order to not put some of their new plays and vertical passing game on tape – or if Florida was simply the same old offense that could not do much other than run the ball – Pease appeared to be a bit offended by the implication that the Gators' offense was vanilla and not creative. He responded with the following (extremely long) rant.
"First off, I don't know what 'vanilla' – because I've heard the word 'vanilla' – I don't know what 'vanilla' is. I've never made a game plan with vanilla and that's never what I would go into a game plan with. I would feel too uncomfortable thinking we got to save all this, we got to save all that.
"I look at it, compared to what we did last year… We controlled the ball for 40 minutes, finished the game with the last 6:38 on the clock. We rushed for 262 [yards]; we passed for 77 percent. We had one turnover we need to improve on. We had nine explosives. We were 6-of-12 on third downs, which last year at this same thing, we were asking each other what we got to do on third downs. We were 3-for-3 on 3rd-and-1s, which last year that was a concern in our first [press] conference.
"OK, yeah, do we need to improve on sacks? Yeah, we had two sacks. Our protection, our scheme got us. Happy for Mack Brown, happy for Trey Burton how they kind of stepped up with their opportunity.
"We threw the ball down field seven times. Coverage takes some things away. Do you ask a quarterback not into coverage deep? Yeah, you do. We hit Trey Burton on two, we had two check downs, we got a protection issue on one. We're stretching the field. We can stretch the field if we want to stretch the field. Did we have to stretch the field at a certain part in time? No. Did we have it in the game plan to do it? Yes. I'm not sure what everybody wants. …
"Are we going to throw the ball 75 times a game and throw vertical? No. When a team plays corners coverage like Toledo, you don't throw the ball vertical. You throw the ball in intermediate to check-down throws. Did we try to throw the ball vertical in the red zone? Yes, we did. Well, they played coverage. So what's Jeff [Driskel] do? He checks it down to Gideon [Ajagbe], guy bounces off Gideon, Gideon runs for 15 yards, gets a first down, we're in good position and we continue to score.
"We didn't have a 'vanilla' game plan. You saw reverses. I can't handle what the refs don't see but yet they call and it keeps us out of the end zone. …
"Should we have come out in the third quarter and probably had more production in the first two series instead of three-and-outs? Yes. … I think we hit a lull that we got to be able to step it up and not be able to do that, score at the end of the game. So if you're measuring us against points, yeah, we left points out there. But we had things in control and we ran the last – I don't even know how many plays – but I know there was 6:38 on the clock and we walked off the field with the offensive on the field. We were on the one-yard line or three-yard line, whatever we were on, trying to score."
He later added:
"Do I want to see 300 passing yards? Absolutely. Is that going to be a reality? I don't know. I don't measure success totally on that. We completed 77 percent yet we have two drops, two tips and a pass that he probably should've hit on the end zone but he overthrew it and it got away from him. That's what I see. The kid's making good decisions. He's managing the game. … He's productive with his hands running it. He's putting us in the right plays in the run game. That's what I look at. Are we having a chance to win the game? Yeah, explosiveness, but I'm not measuring it on yards. That's called you trying to get your guru card. Maybe when I was 30 years old, but I'm not 30 years old anymore."

Thursday, June 21, 2012
The wait is almost over for the Supreme Court's verdict on President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
The court is heading into what is looking like its final week with cases on health care, Arizona's immigration law, lying about military medals, juvenile sentencing and real estate kickbacks still to be decided.
The justices will meet next on Monday, the last scheduled day the court is in session until October.
But that won't be the final day, if the court follows its usual practice. At the end of Monday's session, Marshal Pamela Talkin will announce the court's next meeting.
Then, on the next-to-last day, Chief Justice John Roberts will say that its next meeting will be the last.
Such word could come Monday or, more likely, later in the week.

BMW is apparently the Ultimate Selling Machine. The German automaker has retained the title of top luxury brand after its most successful July in history, moving 108,721 units for the month. Overall sales are up 17.9 percent for the entire BMW Group through the first seven months of the year.
One of the BMW products moving off lots quickly is the redesigned X3. Sales of the compact crossover rose 193.2 percent, which equates to 9,763 units finding a new home in July. The X5 also helped total volume numbers by improving 51.7 percent in July, with 24,196 examples sold.
With 106,000 total sales in July, Audi isn't very far behind, and it hopes to stand in the top spot ahead of BMW by 2015. BMW is aiming for 1.6 million in sales this year, while Audi is shooting for 1.2 million. Mercedes-Benz came in at number three with 100,391 units sold in July.

Houston's own master of cozy mysteries Dean James appears at Murder by the Book to sign the latest release in his Cat in the Stacks series, Out of Circulation. James writes Cat in the Stacks under the pseudonym Miranda James, but fans are in on the secret so no one's expecting to see Miranda. (James also writes the Wanda Nell Culpepper series under the name Jimmie Ruth Evans and Bridge Club series as Honor Hartman.) Out of Circulation features Charlie Harris, who like James in real life, is a librarian. When Harris finds a dead body in the library, he and his rescued Maine coon cat named Diesel set out to solve the mystery. Joelle Charbonneau also appears and will be signing her latest novel, Skating on the Edge.
