Information on socio-economic development processes and their impact on the biodiversity in tropical Africa need to be taken into consideration when it comes to designing effective conservation strategies. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have now investigated the links between human well-being and biodiversity protection in Liberia, West Africa.
Very young children imitate their peers to fit in, while great apes tend to stick to their own preferences
Children and chimpanzees often follow the group when they want to learn something new. But do they actually forego their own preferences in order to fit in with their peers? In direct comparisons between apes and children, a research team from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig and Jena University has found that the readiness to abandon preferences and conform to others is particularly pronounced in humans – even in two-year-old children. Interestingly, the number of peers presenting an alternative solution appeared to have no influence on whether the children conformed.
Wild chimpanzees plan their breakfast time, type and location
How do our close relatives, the chimpanzees, acquire sufficient food when times are lean? By studying wild chimpanzees in the Taï National Park in Côte d'Ivoire researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, provide a clear example of how great apes can acquire extra energy needed to maintain large, costly brains. They show that chimpanzees make their sleeping nests more en route to breakfast sites containing fruits that are more competed for by other daytime fruit-eaters than other fruits. Moreover, the researchers found that they leave their nest earlier (and often in the dark when leopards are more likely to attack) for these fruits in order to arrive before others, especially when the breakfast sites were far away.
Researchers discover fragments of Neandertal DNA in the genome of a 45,000 year-old modern human from Siberia
A research team led by Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, has sequenced the genome of a 45,000 year-old modern human male from western Siberia. The comparison of his genome to the genomes of people that lived later in Europe and Asia show that he lived close in time to when the ancestors of present-day people in Europe and eastern Asia went different ways. Like all present-day people outside Africa the Ust'-Ishim man carried segments of Neandertal DNA in his genome. But these segments were much longer than the ones found in present-day humans and indicate that the admixture with Neandertals took place between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago.
Changes in the social environment can nevertheless speed up the development of a language's lexicon
The frequency with which we use different words changes all the time, new words are invented or fall out of use. Yet little is known about the dynamics of lexical change across languages. Researchers of Kazan Federal University in Russia and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have now studied the lexical evolution of English in comparison to Russian, German, French, Spanish and Italian using the Google Books N-Gram Corpus. They found that major societal transformations such as wars cause faster changes in word frequency distributions, whereas lexical evolution is dampened during times of stability, such as the Victorian Era. Furthermore, the researchers found British and American English to drift apart during the first half of the 20th century, but then begin to re-converge, likely due to the mass media. Apart from these peculiarities, however, the researchers also find similar rates of change across languages at larger time scales, revealing universal trends governing lexical evolution.
Modern humans may have migrated into Austria around 43,500 years ago during a period with a cold steppe-like climate
A multinational team led by Philip Nigst (University of Cambridge and Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology) and Bence Viola (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology) analysed stone tools recovered during a recent re-excavation of the find site of the Venus of Willendorf in Austria. The authors identified the stone tools as belonging to the Aurignacian culture, generally accepted as indicative of modern human presence. Chronostratigraphic information suggests the tools date to around 43,500 years ago, pre-dating other known Aurignacian artifacts. Based on the type of soil and its mollusk assemblage, climatic conditions during that time were likely cool, with a steppe-like environment and some conifer trees along river valleys. The date of the artifacts represents the oldest well-documented occurrence of behaviorally modern humans in Europe and suggests contemporaneity with Neanderthals in other parts of Europe, showing that behaviorally modern humans and Neanderthals shared this region longer than previously thought. Additionally, the results suggest that the early modern human settlers, who may have come from the warmer environments in southern Europe, were well-adapted to a variety of climates, according to the authors.
Lethal aggression in wild chimpanzees and bonobos is better explained by adaptive strategies than human impacts.
An international team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, the University of Minnesota, Harvard University and other contributors has now analyzed the reasons why our closest relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos, sometimes kill conspecifics in a fight. To this aim they compared information they had collected from 18 chimpanzee and four bonobo communities over five decades. The researchers found that bonobos rarely kill conspecifics while chimpanzees do so more frequently. The aggression is directed mainly from males to non-kin males and killings are often committed by a group of males that outnumbers its victims. Surprisingly, the human impact on the habitats of chimpanzees and bonobos did not result in an increase of these killings. The researchers thus conclude that killing conspecifics improves the attacker's fitness through increased access to territory, food and mates.
Onset of puberty in female bonobos preceeds that of chimpanzees
Puberty is the threshold between childhood and adulthood. Behavior and appearance change considerably during this period – not only in humans but also in our closest relatives, the great apes. In a current study researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have investigated at which age bonobos and chimpanzees, the closest living relatives of humans, enter puberty. In order to determine the onset of puberty the researchers measured the concentration of the hormone testosterone which rapidly increases when male and female primates reach sexual maturity. They found that in males of both species urinary testosterone levels increase at an age of about eight years. Female chimpanzees showed a similar increase at a slightly older age. Female bonobos, however, were found to enter puberty already with five years of age. This is surprising since bonobos are known to be late bloomers whose developmental processes tend to be delayed or take longer in comparison to chimpanzees.
Positive emotional experiences may trigger spontaneous prospective memory retrievals in foraging chimpanzees
An international team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and the Félix Houphouët Boigny University in Abidjan, Ivory Coast were the first to study which specific information from previous feeding visits wild chimpanzees take into account when they revisit the same fruit trees. To this end the researchers followed five female chimpanzees from Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire, for extended periods of time. They found that chimpanzees direct their travels from longer distances towards trees that carried the best fruit in the past. The study further suggests that these revisits are triggered by positive emotions experienced during previous visits.
Max Planck researchers found that dogs and puppies can locate hidden food by using human voice direction referentially
Dogs and puppies are gifted at interpreting human communicative hints, and previous studies showed that they use human visual cues like pointing or gazing in order to find hidden food. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have now studied for the first time whether dogs can locate hidden food by relying on auditory information alone. In an experimental setting, an experimenter went behind a barrier and presented adult dogs and puppies with two identical boxes, but only one of them contained food. From behind the barrier, hidden from the dog's sight, the experimenter vocalized excitedly while looking towards the box containing food. Most adult dogs and socialized puppies successfully followed the direction of the experimenter's voice to the food source; the puppies even beat the adult dogs in this task. The researchers conclude that dogs do not rely on visual cues only, but on a combination of human communicative hints. These social skills may have become part of the dog's genetic make-up during domestication.
Prize winner Kathryn E. Fitzsimmons leads the working group for Luminescence Dating within the Department of Human Evolution at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
Dr. Kathryn E. Fitzsimmons is the winner of the 2013 Albert Maucher Prize in Geoscience of the DFG (German Research Foundation). She has been working in the Department of Human Evolution at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig since 2010.

Max Planck researchers reveal relationships between rare languages in the Colombian Amazon
The only linguistic data available for Carabayo, a language spoken by an indigenous group that lives in voluntary isolation, is a set of about 50 words. This list was compiled in 1969 during a brief encounter with one Carabayo family. Frank Seifart of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and Juan Alvaro Echeverri of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Leticia, Colombia, have now analysed this historical data set and compared it with various languages (once) spoken in the region. The analysis showed that Carabayo shares a number of similarities with the extinct language Yurí and with Tikuna, a language still spoken in the region nowadays. From the results of their study the researchers conclude that the Carabayo – directly or indirectly – descend from the Yurí people whose languages and customs were described by explorers in the 19th century, before they took up voluntary isolation.
An international team of researchers has for the first time deciphered the intestinal bacteria of present- day hunter-gatherers
The gut microbiota is responsible for many aspects of human health and nutrition, but most studies have focused on "western" populations. An international collaboration of researchers, including researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, has for the first time analysed the gut microbiota of a modern hunter-gatherer community, the Hadza of Tanzania. The results of this work show that Hadza harbour a unique microbial profile with features yet unseen in any other human group, supporting the notion that Hadza gut bacteria play an essential role in adaptation to a foraging subsistence pattern. The study further shows how gut microbiota may have helped our ancestors adapt and survive during the Paleolithic.
Liberia is home to the second largest chimpanzee population in West Africa
When Liberia enters the news it is usually in the context of civil war, economic crisis, poverty or a disease outbreak such as the recent emergence of Ebola in West Africa. Liberia's status as a biodiversity hotspot and the fact that it is home to some of the last viable and threatened wildlife populations in West Africa has received little media attention in the past. This is partly because the many years of violent conflict in Liberia, from 1989 to 1997 and from 2002 to 2003, thwarted efforts of biologists to conduct biological surveys. An international research team, including scientists of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, has now counted chimpanzees and other large mammals living in Liberia. The census revealed that this country is home to 7000 chimpanzees and therefore to the second largest population of the Western subspecies of chimpanzees. As Liberia has released large areas for deforestation, the local decision-makers can now use the results of this study in order to protect the chimpanzees more effectively.
A team of interdisciplinary scientists arrived in Guinea April 2nd 2014 to investigate a possible epidemic of Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) amongst wildlife in the region were human cases occurred. In a joint mission between the Wild Chimpanzee Foundation – Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire (WCF), the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the Max-Planck-Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA), the Institute of Tropical Medicine and International Health (ITMIH) of Charité – University Medicine Berlin, and the National Laboratory for Agricultural Development (LANADA, Côte d'Ivoire), the team will systematically monitor wildlife around the outbreak areas.
Contemporary Europeans have as many as three times more Neanderthal variants in genes involved in lipid catabolism than Asians and Africans
Although Neanderthals are extinct, fragments of their genomes persist in modern humans. These shared regions are unevenly distributed across the genome and some regions are particularly enriched with Neanderthal variants. An international team of researchers led by Philipp Khaitovich of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and the CAS-MPG Partner Institute for Computational Biology in Shanghai, China, show that DNA sequences shared between modern humans and Neanderthals are specifically enriched in genes involved in the metabolic breakdown of lipids. This sharing of genes is seen mainly in contemporary humans of European descent and may have given a selective advantage to the individuals with the Neanderthal variants.
An interactive world map of human genetic history reveals likely genetic impacts of historical events
When individuals from different groups interbreed, their offspring's DNA becomes a mixture of the DNA from each admixing group. Pieces of this DNA are then passed along through subsequent generations, carrying on all the way to the present day. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, Oxford University and University College London (UCL) have now produced a global map detailing the genetic histories of 95 different populations across the world, spanning the last four millennia.
Several thousand chimpanzees inhabit a remote forest area in the northern Democratic Republic of the Congo
With great ape populations in fast decline, it is crucial to obtain a global picture of their distribution and abundance, in order to channel and direct conservation activities to where they are most needed. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and the University of Amsterdam in The Netherlands conducted hundreds of kilometers of chimpanzee surveys at multiple sites in the Central Uele region of northern Democratic Republic of the Congo and discovered a large, continuous population of Eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii). The population in the remote Bili-Gangu forest was surveyed in 2005 with line transects and again in 2012, and appears to have remained stable. The total area surveyed, which encompasses about 50,000 square kilometers, is home to several thousands of chimpanzees and, according to the researchers, should be considered a priority site for conservation of the eastern subspecies.
Chimpanzees keep track of other group members' bonding partners and use this knowledge in conflict situations
To know who your opponents' family and friends are can be of advantage in a conflict situation. Humans make predictions about other people's social relationships frequently. Whether other animals also have the cognitive skills to track their group mates' social relationships across time and beyond close kin has so far not been known. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig have now conducted playback experiments with wild-living chimpanzees from Budongo Forest in Uganda. Two hours after a subject attacked or had been attacked by an opponent, the researchers broadcast the recording of a third individual's aggressive barks from a speaker near the subject. If the call provider was their opponent's close buddy or kin, subjects looked longer and moved away more often from barks than if the call provider was not a bond partner. This shows that chimpanzees know who their group mates' kin or non-kin bond partners are and that their behavior may have an impact on them.
Chimpanzees who share their food with others have higher levels of the hormone oxytocin in their urine
The ability to form long-term cooperative relationships between unrelated individuals is one of the main reasons for human's extraordinary biological success, yet little is known about its evolution and mechanisms. The hormone oxytocin, however, plays a role in it. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, measured the urinary oxytocin levels in wild chimpanzees after food sharing and found them to be elevated in both donor and receiver compared to social feeding events without sharing. Furthermore, oxytocin levels were higher after food sharing than after grooming, another cooperative behaviour, suggesting that food sharing might play a more important role in promoting social bonding. By using the same neurobiological mechanisms, which evolved within the context of building and strengthening the mother-offspring bond during lactation, food sharing might even act as a trigger for cooperative relationships in related and unrelated adult chimpanzees.

Seeker of Truth - Warrior or Rogue, Requirements: Perception 2, Willpower 3, Willpower (Faith)
The Seekers of Truth are an organization within the Chantry that serves as a countermeasure to the Templar Order seeking corruption within and outside the Chantry, hence the tedious relationships between the two factions. They are considered incorruptible and they are probably the most devout servants of the Chantry. Only those with an inquisitive eye and strong will are drawn into the ranks of the order as they wield great power through the information they possess for enemies of the Chantry as well as the Templars.
Novice: Incorruptible – It is impossible to sway the Seeker from his duties and his given path, in no way can he be bribed, or blackmailed, into betraying or harming the Chantry, even if he/she performs actions that go against the law of the Chantry it's always for a greater purpose that will prove beneficent in the long run. Furthermore the Seeker adds +2 to any roll in order to resist possession or magical mind control.
Journeyman: Inquisition – By succeeding on a Perception (Insight) roll with TN 15, the Seeker can understand when the words or actions of another are manipulated through supernatural means (magic), or if a given creature is possessed.
Master: Exorcism – The faith of the Seeker is a tangible force that can drive out corrupted spirits from their victims. As a 5 minute long ritual in which the Litany of Salvation is intoned, the Seeker can perform exorcism on a helpless target. The Seeker and the possessing Demon roll opposed Willpower(Faith) checks, and if the Seeker wins he drives the demon out and forces him to materialize in its own material form. If the Seeker fails he must wait a day before he/she can try again.

"I bought this bath bomb in store because it smelled the best compared to all the other ones they had displayed! And I was happy to find that this bath bomb lasted me so long in the tub. It fizzes regularly like all the other bath bombs and it IMMEDIATELY fills your tub pink. It smells like vanilla and other sweet scents, but it's not overwhelming. The little flowers on top all eventually melt away in the tub too. I really loved this one, I might just buy again :) less"

OWENSBORO, Ky. (3/12/14) – A family business that's been in Evansville, Ind., for almost 40 years celebrated the expansion of its business into Owensboro on Tuesday with a Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting.
Ashley Furniture's newest location off Ky. Hwy. 54 opened a week ago after about a year of construction and closer to four years in developing all the details.
Tim Bosler and Adam Bosler greeted customers who came to show support for the new store location. They said they didn't know when their family started working on the idea of opening an Owensboro location that it would take as long as it did.
Tim Bosler said they had looked at several different properties before settling on the current location.
Being close to Hwy. 54 was always as a goal of the project as well.

The elf is just creepy to me but I do like your handmade one Lisa!
Sign up for the GingerScraps Newsletter!!
First i have to DITTO and say i think elves r creepy (don't like yard gnomes or cupids either)
that being said i LOVE this tradition and wish i had a way to include it in my house. i would have a very very very naughty elf (ok not quite like the one photo LMAOOOOO but the prankster kind) today was the first time in the non digi world i heard of this (thanks for letting me know what they were talking about!!!!)
their elf decided during the night to put flour on the table and make a snow/flour angel with the sons name in it making it look like he did it! our Christmas traditions are all about practical jokes so this would have been AWESOME...(and i would have made my own and made it less creepy LOL)
never tried elf on the shelf.... I always told my kids the red flash on the smoke detectors was the cam sending a report to santa. I think maybe i can find one. Every one I have seen is like $30
OH my goodness...that was awesome!! LOL Thanks for the linkage ;) I had to share it on FB! We have never done the elf...not sure if I could keep up with it :P
My blogaroo...my personal site - ajoyfulheart.com...my newsletter
Have you clicked today?
These are hilarious! I've been thinking about starting this year and these are some pretty funny ideas! Especially because my kids are still young so it would be more for my hubby and I.
We had ours last year for the first year - the first day my oldest (than 6) cried because he didnt watn him to be real and my daughter (than 4) ran up and touched him and he tipped off the shelf and totally freaked her out. It was pretty funny! But he just popped out today and my oldest said "I"m not afraid of him anymore Mom!" It was cute. I have all sorts of fun ideas for him to be doing - hopefully I remember to move him!!
I am probably neglecting housework so I can be here... My Gallery

- Window shading details: External window shading devices are an effective method for reducing heat gains through windows during Summer. In fact, external shading devices can reduce heat gains by up to 80% if sized and built properly. With this in mind, Free Green has created this page to assist home builders in constructing effective window shading devices. The information we provide includes a zoning map of the United States, zoning charts for proper sizing of shading devices and a variety of shading device styles and materials to suite different tastes and different home designs.
- General Notes: Typically one sheet of general notes pertinent to the construction of the home
- Exterior Elevations: A blueprint picture of all four sides showing exterior materials and measurements.

Important Information
All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.
All house plans from Houseplans are designed to conform to the local codes when and where the original house was constructed.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.
To find out what documents you should expect with your house plans, see what's included?
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren't sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.

Versatile softshell that provides moderate warmth as a midlayer and functions as a standalone piece for cool weather activities. Polyester grid fleece is bonded to stretch woven nylon face fabric to create a material that offers light, breathable insulation, effective moisture management, protection from wind and drizzle and superior stretch performance. The fit is clean and streamlined, and the helmet compatible StormHood™ adds protection and warmth.
The grid pattern inside efficiently traps warm air, and allows moisture vapor to move away from the body and easily escape. On the face, nylon weave provides abrasion resistance, air permeability, protection from light weather, and exceptional stretch performance. By bonding fleece to a nylon face, a single fabric provides maximum versatility.
Arc'teryx puts incredible focus into every feature. The Epsilon LT Hoody features the Arc'teryx StormHood™. Helmet compatible, the StormHood™ can be easily cinched with one-handed drawcords that pull it tight to rotate with the head. This provides ergonomic freedom and improved vision. Lined with grid fleece bonded to a nylon softshell face, the hood provides light insulation and superior moisture transport.
Arc'teryx women's products are carefully designed to fit in a way that delivers maximum function and freedom. The Epsilon LT Hoody has a streamlined athletic cut that falls just below the hip, offering additional protection when bending or reaching. The streamlined athletic fit comfortably layers under a hardshell. Gussets are built in for increased range of motion, and ergonomic articulation is part of the patterning.

text: Raphael Saadiq takes throwback soul and r&b to the next level on The Way I See It – rolling in a groove that recalls 60s Motown, grittier group soul, the sophisticated strings of the 70s scene, and subtle contemporary touches that keep it in the here and now! An awareness of the past and the ability to replicate the sounds would be useless without great songs and vocals – and Raphael brings it in both realms – his voice has never sounded better and there's a catchiness to each of these tunes that betters the best pop soul of the past couple years. If that's not enough, Raphael handles most of the instrumentation himself, too! Niceness from one of the pivotal singers/songwriters/producers of the past couple decades. Titles include "Sure Hope You Mean It", "100 Yard Dash", "Keep Marchin", "Big Easy", "Just One Kiss" featuring a fine background turn by Joss Stone, "Love That Girl", "Calling", "Staying In Love", "Never Give You Up" featuring Stevie Wonder's inimitable harmonica & CJ Hilton on vocals, "Sometimes". and the bonus track "Oh Girl" featuring Jay Z. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Don't even bat an eye – these sprinters can scoot
A race where mere hundredths of a second often separate winners and losers, the 100-meter dash is outdoor track's shortest and most unforgiving event. To contend, an athlete must be explosive, efficient, and most important of all – fast. A little swagger doesn't hurt, either.
Saturday's State 3-A Meet at the University of Louisville will feature a talented quintet of local high school sprinters competing in the 100, all seeking the distinction of fastest boy in Kentucky.
Seeded in spots one through five, Ronnie Baker (Ballard), James Quick (Trinity), William Kannamore (Ballard), Mitchell Nelson (Male) and John Giddens (Male) make up the local contingent in a field top-heavy with Jefferson County talent.
Competition Helps
According to Giddens the stiff local competition forces runners to raise their level. "If you're the fastest person in a county you're not going to push as hard but with these kids we all push each other and we know if we're racing each other it's going to be a good race," Giddens said.
Giddens has been a standout running back on Male's football team the past four seasons, but it is on the track, sans shoulder pads and helmet, where his speed is most impressive. His season-best time of 10.83 is tops among all state meet qualifiers.
The senior said he has not always been so swift and shaving time has been difficult. "Freshman year was tough. I was slow, real slow…like 11.90 or 12.00. I thought I was fast but it's a totally different speed (in track)," Giddens said. "My sophomore year I started taking it real serious and that's when I started running the 100 in meets."
'It's So Fast!'
"In the 100 it's so fast you never know who's going to win and you try to be perfect the whole time," said Giddens, who will also compete in the 200, 400 relay and 1600 relay at the state meet.
Male head coach Jason Neuss attributes Giddens' success to a combination of natural ability and technique. "When you get down into the sub-11.00 range most of the kids are technically sound. The thing John has going for him is he is powerful and very explosive as well," said Neuss.
After finishing sixth as a sophomore and third as a junior, Giddens is relishing the opportunity to shine in his final state meet. "It helps when there's a big crowd. When the 100 is run at state, everything gets quiet, everybody is standing up watching. I know I'll be racing against fast people but if I don't worry about them…I feel like I can beat them. I want to run a 10.60," he said.
Giddens, Nelson
Giddens will be running alongside teammate Mitchell Nelson, who took first in the regional meet last Saturday (11.16).
Another multi-sport star, Quick of Trinity has established himself as one of the state's most versatile athletes in only his sophomore year. An All-State wide receiver on the football field, Quick also plays basketball and competes in the 100, 200 and 400 in track. His season-best of 10.90 in the 100 is fifth fastest in the state this year. He won the 200 at last year's state meet as a freshman and will be the top-seed in the 200 after posting a 21.54 qualifying time at the regional meet.
Right Mindset
Ronnie Baker of Ballard, who earned the top seed by running a 10.92 at the regional meet, expects that it will take the right mindset and a near-perfect race to win. "You definitely have to have some confidence. Even if you aren't the best, you have to think you are. Everyone's looking to win and I think I could pull it off, but I need to come out and run one of my best races," said Baker.
Baker's teammate William Kannamore, a senior, won the 100 earlier this year at the Eastern Relays (11.13) and turned in a season-best 11.00 at the City Championships.
A notable absence at the state meet will be Pleasure Ridge Park senior Dion Cummings, who ran the state's second fastest 100 this season (10.74) but failed to qualify for the state meet when an injured hamstring forced him to pull up at the regional meet. "He's pretty upset and disappointed right now," said PRP coach Adam Donnelley.

Tepera serves up a 'Christmas' jewel
Portland's Ryan Dent, will have to jump over the Fisher Cats Melky Cabrera, who ran wide to block the ball, in the third inning, at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, on Wednesday, in Manchester. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
Tepera threw eight shutout innings to lead New Hampshire to a 4-0 win over the Portland Sea Dogs in front of 6,250 fans. The win was the eighth in a row for the Fisher Cats, tying a franchise record set in 2004 and equaled in 2010.
Tepera scattered four hits and struck out seven with no walks to move his record to 8-6. He worked out of trouble in the first frame when leadoff hitter Peter Hissey doubled and moved to third on a bunt from Derrik Gibson. But that was as close as Portland would come.
The Fisher Cats are on the road for a four-game series at Trenton starting tonight.

After the floods in 2011, Thailand has been rebuilding, and the BOI Fair is part of a larger effort to encourage those efforts and restore economic and public confidence. Bridgestone's theme is "Going Green For the Future" with the goal of showcasing environmentally friendly technologies, materials and products that can help Thailand recover and grow in a more sustainable way. Bridgestone selected local firm architectkidd to design and build their pavilion to show off a number of their technologies and materials. The pavilion, named "Future Seed," refers to Bridgestone's high performance products and technologies as well as their company commitment to sustainability. The exhibition design is by DesignLAB and construction is coordinated by Pico.
The curvilinear pavilion is formed form polymer-based materials and coated in a Firestone Ecowhite Rubbergard, which is a flexible and reflective roofing membrane. The windows are coated with EVA heat-reflecting film laminated on the glass windows and doors of the pavilion. On the roof of the pavilion, Panasonic/Sanyo supplied light-transmitting solar panels (installed as a roof skylight) to produce energy for the temporary pavilion. The BOI Fair began on January 5th and will be open to the public until January 20th, where you can see a number of exhibits and pavilions like the Bridgestone Pavilion to learn about new eco friendly technologies and products.

Prescription Sleep Medicines
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Benzodiazepines may also be used to provide short-term relief from insomnia.
How It Works
These medicines are called sedative-hypnotics. They help your brain relax so that you can fall asleep.
Why It Is Used
Some people may need medicine for a while to help them fall asleep. Doctors often prescribe medicine for a short time if other treatment isn't working. These medicines work best as a short-term treatment combined with lifestyle and behavior changes.
How Well It Works
These medicines are effective at treating insomnia. They are the first-choice medicines for short-term insomnia.1
But how these medicines (except for ramelteon) treat insomnia may be in part, due to a placebo effect.2
These sleep medicines may not have as many withdrawal and tolerance effects as another class of drugs called benzodiazepines that are used to treat sleep problems. But medicine doesn't work as well over time as lifestyle and behavior changes do. Except for ramelteon, sleep medicine can also become habit-forming.
Side Effects
Side effects of sleep medicines may vary depending on which one you take. But side effects may include:
- Daytime drowsiness and dizziness.
- Headaches.
- Dry mouth.
- Muscle or joint pain.
- Changes in appetite or in the way food tastes.
- Problems with balance or coordination.
- Confusion and trouble remembering things.
- Physical problems, such as falling, especially in older people.
- An allergic reaction.
- Dependence and withdrawal symptoms. Sleep problems may get worse when you stop taking the medicine.
In rare cases, people taking these medicines have done activities, such as driving and eating, while still asleep.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
These medicines may help with sleep problems, but they may not work any better than less expensive nonprescription sleep medicines, such as Nytol or Sominex.

Abstract: "The goal of this project was to determine the toxic effects of albuterol in an in vivo model system of zebrafish. 24 hpf and 48 hpf zebrafish embryos were exposed to different concentration of Albuterol and were inspected for mortality and heart rate. Significant morphological defect and mortality was observed at concentration of 1000 μM of albuterol treatment. Acridine orange staining of the treated embryos exhibited apoptosis. Concentration dependent increases in superoxide anion (O2-) and nitric oxide (NO)... Read More

Your guy deserves the best, and our selection of Valentine's Day gifts for him has plenty of options to impress him this February. Give him a gift that offers fun or function, while still expressing just how much you love him.

These unique gifts for him, along with pocket watches and tie tacks, are functional accessories that also happen to be stylish! Casual guys might like a set of couple's key chains that double as handy bottle openers. RedEnvelope also offers a stainless steel wallet bottle opener that is the exact size and shape as a credit card. It fits neatly inside his wallet so he always has a bottle opener handy.

Then put on a seductive fashion show for an audience of one; you might be wearing the clothes, but the gift is definitely all for him. Saucy "get lucky" dice or a spa-worthy couple's bath caddy will also show him that time spent together is the best gift of all.

Agreed, it was quite long, and quite good. I'm just trying to put some caveats that may not be obvious to some.
You went from start to finish and skipped everything in between. A tank is only as good as the raid behind it. If the raid is dead, you are dead. Is this your fault? Likely not, because the DPS was too stupid. Again, these are not progression raiders.There is also absolutely ZERO reason why a tank that stacks EHP would somehow become squishy, even in a "non-optimal" raid environment. And if their healers are doing something wrong, well then that's the healer's fault, not the tank's, and a tank gearing for something other than EHP will not help that and in fact may hinder it.
If the healer does something wrong, then they aren't ready for progression raiding.
A tank who EHP stacks at the expense of threat stats will see your words "there is never a time when you have to worry about threat" and then not understand why the raid wiped and they got benched unfairly. Again, not a progression Raid Leader.
In these situations, threat has value to tank TTL as the DPS will have finished the job before you even approach tank minTTD (or minTTDwH). If the DPS slow down to do things like reduce threat or let the tank regain aggro, that increases the required minTTDwH. A tank's job is to hold the line for the DPS to their job; if you are trying to gear to hold out indefinitely, then you are approaching the comical point that Cider talks about where future raids consist of tanks and healer only. Just as you covered how you considered at what point avoidance looses its value, which we naturally get from our gear, there is a point where threat looses its value to tank TTL, namely if your threat outstrips the ability of your DPS match your TPS, which we can naturally get from our gear under ideal circumstances. For those non-ideal situations, either your rely on threat misdirection tools or you compromise by gearing for threat.
But this site is not just for the upper echelons of WoW. A lot of people from all walks of WoW Life read this. That is all I am trying to say. People don't willingly misread/misinterpret your work, they come here just not knowing any better.
You can only gear for EH or Threat, gearing for avoidance has been beaten to death. Obviously, gearing for threat detracts from the healer cushion, but if your DPS is dead because they pulled threat, then I submit you aren't in a progression raid, go back to the previous raid and gear up. Because you assume you are probably geared when in fact you also have to consider at 3.3.3, we have people going from heroics to ICC pretty quickly, and they don't always have the requisite threat stats innately built in. They can mitigate this somewhat with threat stats, until they do get the gear to support it. That's the whole point of introducing gems and enchanting. However, if you are indeed in a true progression situation, threat gearing is a waste, I would agree, and even in near-progression situations you are not hindering things, you are merely masking another problem.
Yes, we are reading this. I don't think people disagree with the premise of the work, but as Satorri pointed out the game is a pretty dynamic balance, it's not difficult to wander into the "But what about this...?", with the consequence of making this much larger than you either intended or have the stomach for.As for that second paragraph, I have no idea what you are talking about, or it's relevance in this thread. That and I also think you're completely wrong about a progression raid being able to function perfectly with 4 resto druids and a disc priest. I also do make the ending conclusion that the math breaks down at some point due to the granularity and discrete nature of healing and incoming damage respectively. Even HoTs are granular. That's why I say DPS is Science, Healing is Art, Tanking is Strategy.
I will admit I know the least about healing mechanics, however I have talked this over many times with my Holy Pally GM and he has confirmed every word of it.
Are people actually reading this or just taking little nick pick things and assuming I don't cover it because I didn't word it exactly the way they wanted me to?
Where I was going with this was the relative value of discrete heals vs continuous heals on EHP. Instinctively, yeah, it's a pretty bad idea to take a 4-tree battery into a progression fight, but the point I was trying to make is that when you are dealing with a large health pool, Rolling heals become MUCH more powerful. With a small Health Pool, not only are large heals generally wasted as overheals, the value of a HoT goes down as it basically does nothing. But with a small health Pool, a Druid will struggle to hold up a tank while a Holy Paladin manage to do so (until he possibly goes OOM trying to keep up the tank, depending on the Pally gear and skill). With a larger Health Pool, the Nuke healer is still overhealing due to the discrete nature of the heals, but the HoT healer is now truly healing at maximum potential because all the heals are not being wasted. The only reason why in practice this may not work is sheer throughput rate of a HoT heal on a single target, which is why they druids got hasted HoTs, to address this issue (and the reason why in Druid T9 they experimented with critting Rejuvinates in 4pcT9). You can further split this down to stamina and mitigation, where the stamina gives you the cushion to roll more HoTs on the same target without overhealing, while the damage reduction components help bridge the gap between high incoming damage rate vs the relatively slower healing rate coming in from HoTs. Avoidance, even at high levels, would result in wild swings on HP which a HoT simply cannot compensate for. You alude to this by talking about the "stochastic nature of incoming damage" and saying that incoming heals is also granular and not continuous, but in point of fact, taking it to the extreme you CAN make healing damn near continuous with enough rolling HoTs (think sawblade profile of tank HP over time, as compared to a square wave with a discrete healer). I've watched tank HPs litteraly zoom back up with the speed almost matching a discrete heal with 3 druids stacking full HoTs on a tank, but with the added benefit that its nearly effortless to maintain even in a moving fight.
Incidentally, what do your Druid healers say about this? I bet they have some interesting perspectives as well.

Golden Adventure: Fosslized Tusk & Gold Nugget Ring
Very grand in scale, a Victorian era brooch has been converted to a most dramatic ring. Jewelry from this time period often incorporated natural organic material such as petrified wood, tortoiseshell and ivory. In addition, we can see how an event can impact on the style, design or materials used for an item of jewelry.
An oval cabochon of walrus ivory with striations of cocoa brown upon a field of color akin to burled wood and strikes of off white has been placed within a simple 14k yellow gold bezel. A surround of actual nuggets of yellow gold (top nuggets test around 20k with the underside about 10k) embrace the smooth cabochon.
California was the source of the 1848 gold rush in the United States. Discoveries lasted for years and, as a result a cottage industry emerged in the San Francisco area in which actual gold nuggets from those finds were incorporated into items of jewelry. The modern custom made 14k yellow gold mounting of shank and shoulders was designed to match and included gold nuggets as well.
Date: Top is circa 1860, mounting is modern.
Measurements: 1-1/2 of an inch (3.7 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 1/2 of an inch (1.2 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 25.4 grams (16.3 dwt).
Ring Size: US 9-3/4 (UK T; Euro or Int. Circum. 61.4 mm; Int. Dia. 19.6 mm; Japan over 19) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: 14k.
Condition: Excellent; formerly a brooch converted to a ring.
Origin: Most likely American.
