Pygmy elephant
So-called pygmy elephants are reported to be living in both Africa and Asia. The African pygmy elephant, formerly described as "Loxodonta pumilio", is currently considered to be a tiny morph of the African forest elephant (L. cyclotis); see Debruyne et al. (2003).
The Borneo elephant (Elephas maximus borneensis), a well-documented variety of elephant, is also called "pygmy elephant." This elephant, inhabiting tropical rainforest in north Borneo (east Sabah and extreme north Kalimantan), was long thought to be identical to the Asian elephant and descended from a captive population. In 2003, DNA comparison revealed them to be probably a new subspecies.[1][2] A 2010 study found that there are an estimated 2,040 elephants in Sabah.[3]
The term pygmy elephant should not be confused with "dwarf elephant", which is used for a number of extinct species of elephants that evolved their size due to island dwarfing.

Attorney General Jim Ryan says he wants to review property purchases made by the administration of outgoing Gov. George Ryan.
Jim Ryan sent a letter to the governor's chief legal counsel saying he would conduct a review of all such purchases of more than $1 million.
Gov. Ryan's administration, which is out of office in January, is moving forward on the purchase of at least four properties at a cost of more than $50 million.
Some of the proposed purchases could benefit friends of Gov. Ryan.
A spokesman for Jim Ryan says it appears unusual to have such major purchases in the waning days of an administration.
State officials say political considerations had nothing to do with the decision to purchase the buildings.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Just a week removed from losing Vladimir Tarasenko to a concussion, the Blues are now without their entire second line.
Many have already pointed out that rookie Jaden Schwartz and veteran Matt D'Agostini must step up in the absence of Steen and McDonald, which is an obvious assertion.
Schwartz and D'Agostini must step up and produce offense and play solid two-way games while Steen and McDonald are out. These are the two player who will benefit the most from increased ice time and suggesting that they must step up is taking the easy way out.
The player who must step up the most with the team short-handed is goalie Jaroslav Halak.
The Blues have been a solid offensive team all season, in part, because of the contributions of guys like Steen and McDonald. The Blues are sixth in the NHL in goals per game and have the league's best power play. While the offense has been solid, the defense and goaltending in particular has been shaky at best.
The Blues rank 17th in goals against as of Wednesday night and are dead last in the NHL when it comes to save percentage, stopping just 87.7 percent of shots faced on the season.
The Blues have not had many games stolen by their goalies and now would be the perfect time for Halak to steal one against Chicago on Thursday night.
Schwartz and D'Agostini may step up their games, but it won't matter if Halak struggles between the pipes. On the flip side, Schwartz and D'Agostini could struggle in their increased roles, but if Halak is solid, the Blues can still win.
Usually people say the best defense is a good offense. At this point, the Blues' offense is a bit short-handed and a solid defensive effort and great game from Halak can help the offense more than anything else.
The Blues will need Halak to play well if they hope to make a push in this year's NHL playoffs in search of a Stanley Cup. With Steen and McDonald out of the lineup, Halak can start picking up his play Thursday night against Chicago.

Frequently Asked Questions about Co-op
The Cooperative Education, or "Co-op", Program at WCSU provides students with an opportunity to gain career-related experience in their field of study while also earning academic credit and, in most situations, a competitive salary. The "hands-on" experience through co-op provides practical experience prior to graduation and an effective career planning tool for participating students.
Undergraduate students at Western who have earned at least 45 credits in good academic standing are eligible to apply for co-op. Positions are available on a part-time (10-20 hours weekly) or full-time (40 hours weekly) basis. It is recommended that students seeking a co-op apply at least one semester before they want to work.
All majors at Western are eligible to apply for the Co-op Program.
- How do I start the application process for Co-op?
Schedule an appointment to meet with a staff member to complete and review the co-op application form by calling 203-837-8265.
- Do I need a resume?
Yes! A resume is required for all co-op candidates and is utilized as you apply to each potential employer. The notification process for co-op openings begins only after your resume has been submitted. (Many workshops and individual sessions are available to help you begin writing a resume.)
- Will I receive college credit for my co-op experience?
Credit is awarded based on a formula of 50 hours = 1 credit. In most cases, co-op credit is applied toward free electives. You must register for credit upon receipt of a co-op position (as CED 297) through a separate registration card given out by the co-op staff.
- How many credits can I earn through co-op?
Students may earn a total of 18 credits through the co-op program during their academic career. A maximum of 12 co-op credits may be earned in any one semester.
- Am I given a grade for the co-op?
A pass/fall grade is given for CED 297. Students are required to attend the co-op seminars during the semester, keep a journal, write a five page reaction paper, and submit evaluations.
- Am I guaranteed a co-op job?
Although the co-op office has a very high success rate in arranging co-op placements, there is not a guarantee of co-op employment. Shifts in the economy may affect the availability of co-ops and student performance during an interview is a factor in decisions made by employers. Because selection for co-op jobs is competitive, students are encouraged to apply as soon as they are eligible.
- What are the co-op work blocks?
There are three co-op work blocks at Western. They are:
Spring: January 1 - May 15
Summer: May 15 - August 15
Fall: August 15 - December 15
Western students may also participate in the two six-month blocks offered by some employers. These blocks are January 1 - July 1 and July 1 - December 15.
- What kind of co-op jobs are available?
Co-op students at WCSU have worked in all areas represented by the academic disciplines at the University.
Some recent co-op jobs have included:
Pre-Professional Accountant, Webmaster, Marketing Assistant, Reporter, Laboratory Technician, Management Trainee, Public Relations Representative, Human Resources Intern, Programmer, Financial Analyst, Operations Assistant, PC Help Desk Aide, Design Assistant, Database Administrator, Residential Counselor, Assistant to OSHA Coordinator, Mayoral Aide, Legal Assistant, Tax Preparer, Software Technician, Production Assistant, Corporate Communications Intern, Probation Associate, Zoning and Land Use Assistant, Customer Service Representative, Market Researcher, Fund-Raiser and many more.
Most co-op jobs obtained through Western are within driving distance of the University or a student's permanent home and many are within a 30-mile one-way commuting distance.
- Do participating employers ever hire co-op students after the co-op term has ended?
Employers are not bound to hire co-op students after the co-op work block has ended and, similarly, students are not expected to remain after their co-op has concluded.
However, depending on factors such as date of graduation, work performance and available funding, many co-op students have become regular employees at the firm in which they completed their co-op assignment. National statistics indicate that over 40% of co-op students are offered permanent positions with their co-op employers upon graduation. Additionally, graduates of co-op programs are hired at higher salaries and promoted faster than other employees.
- Who should I contact for more information?
Call Anthony Ciarleglio, Director of Cooperative Education, at 203-837-8265.
- Do I need a resume?

In this Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012 photo, towers of churches are silhouetted against the sun in the village of El-Aziyah near the city of Assiut, southern Egypt. After a campaign of intimidation by Islamists, most Christians in this southern Egyptian province were too afraid to participate in last week�s referendum on an Islamist-drafted constitution they desperately oppose, residents say. Some of the few who dared try to reach polls were pelted by stones. The disenfranchising hikes Christians� worries over their future under Egypt�s empowered Islamists, but some young members of the community are starting to push back.(AP Photo/Petr David Josek)
LUXOR, Egypt (AP) — Police have fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of Muslim protesters outside a church in southern Egypt. They were demanding an investigation into allegations a Christian man sexually assaulted a 6-year-old girl.
Residents in the city of Qena say four stores owned by Coptic Christians were torched overnight after villagers accused one of the store owners of molesting the young girl.
The clashes took place in the village of Marashda in Qena.
Residents say protesters threw stones at the local church on Friday, and police fired tear gas to scatter the crowd.
Qena security director Gen. Salah Mazid was quoted in state media saying that police are investigating the accusations against the merchant.
Flare-ups of violence between Egypt's Christian minority and Muslims have increased in the past two years.

The stronger a hero, the more likely he is to have a Kryptonite Factor to "balance it out" that varies in abundance, lethality, and embarrassment potential. Still, a hero isn't just a set of powers and handicaps, but a character with substance and grit and not just some jerk with powers. So when authors want to show off just how Badass the character is they do so by having him Fight Off The Kryptonite. The character, usually surrounded by Kryptonite and severely weakened, in a lot of pain, and sometimes already badly injured, uses Heroic Willpower to work through the pain and proceed to save his own or his friends' lives, and kick the ass of the Smug Snake who thought they could just wave a rock in his face and win. This is a tough trope to use correctly: if overdone or used too often then the dramatic purpose of a Kryptonite Factor is lost. Hence, in extreme cases, this precipitates a case of Heroic RROD and ultimately a Heroic Sacrifice as the punishment his body has endured kills him. Or not. Compare Brought Down to Normal, where the hero has to fight with no powers, but is not otherwise in pain. Contrast Cross-Melting Aura, where an evil creature can repel holy items that would otherwise weaken it. See also Kryptonite-Proof Suit, for other means of resisting Kryptonite. To avoid excessive overlap with Heroic Willpower, all examples must be of characters with a potentially deadly or disabling Kryptonite Factor.

This real is a stud! This real is amazing for combat fishing! (Fishing structure, mangroves, etc.) I have the 40 size paired with a 7' Heavy action Hurricane Redbone rod and I can manhandle any inshore fish with confidence! I've caught everything from sheepshead off pilings to even a 45 lbs tarpon and never had a problem! I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a spinning reel that you'll cast 50 times an hour. I have had problems with wind knots, but as for muscling out snook from mangroves or snapper off rocks with a knocker rig it is a freakin stud! March 4, 2014
Great reel for the $!!! I've had this reel in the 40 series since the day it came out. Never a single issue. It's extremely light with a great drag. This reel has out lasted two rods. Great value!!! December 21, 2013
Great small, powerfull reel "This reel's drag is very powerfull and smooth". Very light weight "40", great capacity. Used on Mackeral, Jacks, 20" Snappers. Cast a mile. Only issue is occasional wind knots, mostly user error. Great quality reel that can pull in any fish. It's a Cabo with one less bearing October 29, 2013
worst purchase ever I purchased several Quantum Boca PT's, BSP40PTS. While reel was brand new it locked up (gears actually came apart and spool froze# resulting in my son losing his first large snook. I am busy removing them all from rods and replacing them so I don't have to worry about a repeat performance. You can have mine for free #will have to retrieve them from my trashcan).

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

One of the more civilized, practical supercars on the market. A blistering performer.
Apple, which partnered with GT Advanced on sapphire goods, says it will continue to work with state and local officials as it considers its next steps.
The first hot rod version of the already hot new Mustang.
A new serious sports coupe that should keep Porsche, Jag and BMW up at night.
Bankruptcy-court papers from the synthetic-sapphire maker offer a rare glimpse into Apple's dealings with suppliers.
If you feel that a standard Mustang is somewhat lacking then Shelby is the name to turn to. XCAR took the GT/SC out for a spin in the desert to see if it truly could be the perfect American ride.
The replacement for Mercedes' SLS AMG supercar arrives with a new turbocharged engine that is the first of its kind.
Pricing not available
GT Advanced, which earlier had a deal with Apple to supply sapphire for displays, will sell the furnaces in its factory to repay Apple.
About 890 jobs may be lost from shutting down its sapphire operations, but GT says its agreement with Apple included "oppressive and burdensome" terms and obligations.
GT's filing, which sends company's stock tumbling about 90 percent, surprises the market and suggests a breakdown in its relationship with Apple.

March Bazaar: High School Musical Francis Cobain
Glossed Over takes a look at the March Bazaar. There's a self-serving service piece that explains why luxury goods cost so much:
…the article gets progressively more grating, predictably returning to the justification of the positively vulgar price tags of luxury goods. What else can be expected from people whose livelihoods are dependent on the public buying costly stuff they don't need?
Bazaar also has the most embarrassing celebrity fashion spread in months–Francis Bean Cobain, all puppy fat and potty mouth, posing uncomfortably as characters from her favorite musicals. She's fifteen, and you know as well as we do, it's no good asking where her mother, Courtney Love, is or what she was thinking. The shots are hardly photographer Jeff Reidel's best work, and she looks both pretty and mortified. Proud mama's remarks:
She's a gay man trapped in a woman's body, like me.

Potato Gnocchi
I was very intimidated by the concept of making homeade gnocchi; but it was very simple and turned out wonderfully! Pair with your sauce of choice, I used a simple sauce of olive oil, garlic, chili peppers, and diced tomatos. Yum!
Creamy Garlic Potato Soup
Delicious comfort food originally my mothers recipe, but I have added to it over the years and made it very low fat yet still wonderfully tasty!
Pollo Al Limone (Lemon Chicken)
This chicken dish absolutely blew my families minds. It is creamy, and the fresh lemon really makes it zesty. This chicken has a wonderful gourmet quality to it that sets it apart from other chicken dishes. Enjoy!

We are delighted to announce our agreement with Issaries Inc, allowing The Design Mechanism to produce a new edition of RuneQuest and supporting supplements. You can read the full Press Release by clicking on the link to the right.
The way all this will work is as follows:
- The Design Mechanism will be producing the sixth published edition of RQ for an early 2012 release.
- We will be publishing the core rules and all future supplements in partnership with Moon Design. This allows us to call upon their resources for a wide range of things that would be too costly for us to develop singly.
Work on the 6th edition of the rules has begun but the hard work will be between September and December as we prepare for the release. More information on the actual release date will be given nearer the time.
- Working with Moon we also have access to Glorantha, meaning that RuneQuest material for both Second and Third Age Glorantha will be not just possible, but a reality.
It sounds like 3rd Age Glorantha will be supported once more, which is great news for fans of that setting. Additionally, I like that it sounds as if there will be a mechanism in place for third-party RQVI products. What will be interesting is to see how compatible Mongoose's RQII/Legend system will be with this new endeavor.
Check out links here and here for more. Honestly, what a crazy few years it's been for RuneQuest! There's more iterations, interest, and support out there now than there's been in some time, it seems.

Facebook Makes a Bonehead Move With Home
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's the deal on the big Facebook (FB) news:
It's not a smartphone. It's not an operating system. It's called Home, a new Facebook platform built on top of Google's (GOOG) Android OS. It will come pre-installed as part of several forthcoming devices from HTC and Samsung. Everybody else -- with an Android device -- can download the new it's not an app, it's YOUR LIFE app from the Google Play store or, if you already have the Facebook app downloaded, just wait for a prompt to grab Home when it's released.
This is a bonehead move by Mark Zuckerberg.
As much as I consider Facebook the real deal -- a mobile advertising powerhouse for years to come -- Home will have a net impact of ZERO or, quite possibly, something less than that.Mark Zuckerberg should know this! We live in an era where consumers of content have unprecedented control over what they consume. The how, the where, the why -- it's all in our hands. And I reckon we really like that. We have these devices -- smartphones, tablets, computers, television screens -- that start as somewhat of a blank slate. We routinely accept not-so-subtle suggestions on what to consume, but, beyond that, part of the beauty of the times is this element of control. You build your experience from the ground up. This move effectively wrestles control from the user in what appears to be a not-so-kind and gentle way. "Everybody" uses Facebook. But, it's a bit like we're all friends with benefits with Facebook. We want it around. We can't get enough of it, but don't necessarily want it to spend the night, move clothing into our closets or leave a toothbrush hanging from our medicine cabinets. By making it look like he's shoving Facebook down people's throats, Zuckerberg accentuates much of what many people perceive as negative about the already-ubiquitous social network.
It's intrusive. It invades privacy. It's trying to sell you stuff via more ads. It's overstepping its bounds. Zuckerberg told the crowd at today's event that Facebook thinks you will not need to use its app anymore if you install Home. That floored me. I think he's out of touch. Getting ahead of himself. Thinking too much of his creation.

California: Heliotrope Technologies Wins R&D 100 Award for Universal Smart Window Coating that Saves Energy and Increases Comfort
|Positive Impact:
|First-of-its-kind technology enables dynamic control over how much of the sun's heat and light enters a building. Receives 2013 R&D 100 Award.
|Heliotrope Technologies, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
|EERE Investment:
|Clean Energy Sector:
|Energy-saving homes, buildings, and manufacturing
EERE-funded Heliotrope Technologies, with support from EERE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), received a 2013 R&D 100 Award for their Universal Smart Window (USW) Coating. This first-of-its-kind technology enables dynamic control over how much of the sun's heat and light enters a building through its windows, thereby lowering energy consumption and improving occupant comfort. Unlike competing smart window technologies, the USW Coating can block heat-producing, near-infrared solar radiation without blocking visible light. This independent control is unique in the smart window market and means occupants can have natural lighting indoors without unwanted thermal gain—reducing the need for both air-conditioning and artificial lighting. The same window can also be switched to a dark mode, blocking both light and heat, or to a bright, fully transparent mode. Roughly 30% of the energy consumed in the United States each year goes toward lighting and space cooling in buildings, according to the U.S. Department of Energy and the California Energy Commission. The nanocomposite electrochromic coating is fabricated using an efficient, low-cost solution process, rather than the industry-standard sputtering, resulting in an estimated incremental cost of $10-$15 per square foot. The low cost, minimal power requirements, and responsive user experience of this technology are expected to drive broad deployment and make a significant impact on global energy consumption.
The Building Technologies Office leads a vast network of research and industry partners to continually develop innovative, cost-effective energy saving solutions—better products, better new homes, better ways to improve older homes, and better buildings in which we work, shop, and lead our everyday lives.

Walking Dead: Season Two screenshots tease episode 3
by Steve Watts, shacknews.com, May 1, 2014 1:15PM PDT
Telltale has started teasing the next episode of The Walking Dead: Season Two, "In Harm's Way," with a batch of screenshots. That usually signals an impending release. We never know when episodes are coming until just before they hit, but these screens should provide a few clues about what we can expect from it.
The screens show the story picking up the human drama just where we left off after the second episode, of course. But this being Walking Dead, zombies are bound to get involved, so humans won't be the only threat to Clementine and her merry gang of irresponsible adults. Check out the screens below.

Spending extended time in space can also be dangerous. Besides the inevitable meteor showers and hostile aliens, astronauts also have to contend with things that are harder to defend against, like slowly losing bone mass. A new elastic jumpsuit may be able to help astronauts stay healthy, and keep them looking like superheroes while doing it.
Here on Earth, our bodies are constantly fighting against gravity to keep us upright. This takes a lot of work, as you may have noticed. In space, where gravity isn't a factor, your body doesn't have to work nearly as hard, and it gets lazy. Over time, astronauts lose both muscle tone and bone mass, which can cause problems when they come back home. To help solve this problem (or at least, mitigate it), MIT's Man-Vehicle Laboratory has developed the Gravity Loading Countermeasure Skinsuit, which is actually able to simulate the pull of gravity in weightless environments.
The concept behind the suit is simple: it's too small. The suit itself is made of an elastic material, with foot stirrups. It stretches to fit, but as it does so, the material exerts a force that pulls your shoulders down towards your feet. As far as your bones and muscles can tell, it's a sort of artificial gravity, and it should help to reduce the 2% bone mass that astronauts lose for each month they spend in orbit. This will be especially important for long stays aboard the ISS, and of course for trips to Mars and beyond.
The suit has been tested here on Earth and is apparently quite comfortable and doesn't restrict movement, meaning that it can be worn while working, relaxing or exercising. And let's be honest: sooner or later, astronauts are all going to have to start wearing matching jumpsuits anyway, because that's how we'll know it's the future.

Water authority employee busted for 'racist' hoodie
Updated On: May 30 2013 12:00:00 AM MDT
The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority investigated accusations of racism centered on video of an employee's hood pulled over face.
The video shows the employee getting out of a truck with the hood over his face and greeting two co-workers.
One of the workers claimed the employee cut holes out of the hood and pulled it over his face to make it look like a Ku Klux Klan Hood.
The Water Authority began an immediate investigation. The employee has been disciplined, and is receiving sensitivity training.

Fragile X is a family of genetic conditions, which can impact individuals and families in various ways. These genetic conditions are related in that they are all caused by gene changes in the same gene, called the FMR1 gene.
Fragile X includes:
Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common cause of inherited mental impairment. This impairment can range from learning disabilities to more severe cognitive or intellectual disabilities. (Sometimes referred to as mental retardation.) FXS is the most common known cause of autism or "autistic-like" behaviors. Symptoms also can include characteristic physical and behavioral features and delays in speech and language development.
Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), a condition which affects balance, tremor and memory in some older male gene carriers.
Fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI), a problem with ovarian function which can lead to infertility and early menopause in some female gene carriers.
Some gene carriers do not exhibit any of these features. To learn more about carriers click here.
Autism and Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X can be passed on in a family by individuals who have no apparent signs of this genetic condition. In some families a number of family members appear to be affected, whereas in other families a newly diagnosed individual may be the first family member to exhibit symptoms.
Fragile X syndrome can cause a child to have Autism or an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) though not all children with fragile X syndrome have Autism or an ASD.
- FACT: For between 2% and 6% of all children diagnosed with Autism, the cause is the Fragile X gene mutation.
- FACT: Approximately one-third of all children diagnosed with fragile X syndrome also have some degree of Autism.
- FACT: Fragile X syndrome is the most common known single gene cause of Autism.
If your child is diagnosed with Autism, or an Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), please ask the doctor to rule out fragile X syndrome by ordering the DNA blood test for Fragile X. http://www.fragilex.org/html/testing.htm
If your child is diagnosed with fragile X syndrome, and you believe your child also has Autism or an Autism Spectrum Disorder, please consult with your child's doctor and ask that he or she be evaluated for Autism or an ASD.
To learn more about the relationship between Fragile X and Autism please click here: http://www.fragilex.org/html/autism.htm or call the National Fragile X Foundation at 1-800-688-8765.

My personal vision for staff to see that all women have become independent in their lives all day, all that is a negative expectation has my personality or the destruction of my life and my personality that I can not in my community to the example of tribalism, homosexuality, etc. betray my country.
In terms of the community that I can stop all form of violence in our community in general and women and girls in particular. Perpetrators of violence in our country DR Congo is condemned because when a person rape and was brought out after he started to say that I was stopped but my fate.That all hostilities cease nothing in our territories. Today we see NGOs as a general starting to come in that context of fight against sexual violence, we wonder if these NGOs can bring the end of violence in our community? others say we as NGOs and they are providing weapons to the enemy DRC peace ...

My biggest complaint about Helping Hands is the small and often unstable base. I didn't want to make a larger base for it since that would get even more in the way. I decided that a good set of hands is nothing without a good arm behind it. So i went online and found the cheapest swing arm desk lamp i could find. I figured with the help of the Shape Lock i could create some sort of coupling part to join the Hands to the arm.
Here is how i improved on my set of Helping Hands.
Materials Needed:
- Helping Hands ($7 http://www.amazon.com/Helping-Third-Magnifier-Magnifying-Glass/dp/B0015YJV7S)
- Swing Arm Desk Lamp ($12 http://www.amazon.com/Swing-Desk-Lamp-Clamp-Black/dp/B004MH9A2Q)
- Shape Lock ($15 http://www.makershed.com/product_p/mkshl1.htm)
- Flashlight (any will do as long as it offers the lighting you want.
- 2x screws/bolts w/ nuts (your choice in size but you won't need anything over an inch long. I used what i had on hand)
- Box Cutter
Tools Needed:
- Drill
- 3/16 inch Drill Bit
- Screw driver/wrench (whatever is appropriate for the screw/bolt your using)
Is that Acrylic they are attached too?
Having lived with mine I see better possibilities that could be done with 3 helping hands to work with. So far I've only accumulated two, and what I have works well enough for my purposes I suppose.

Rainbow DashComments150
this wiki
|Rainbow Dash
|Moderate cerise
|Rainbow colors sans indigo
|Very light cerulean
|Ashleigh Ball
Rainbow Dash is a character from the My Little Pony franchise and one of the main characters in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic who appears as the dueteragonist of Equestria Girls and the main protagoinst of it's sequel.
Human Version
Rainbow Dash's human version possesses long, rainbow colored hair with bangs hanging in the right side of her face. Her clothing consists of a blue short-sleeved button up shirt and a white shirt with her pony version's cutie mark logo on the chest. Her lower half consists of tight-fitting black bike shorts underneath a pink and white skirt, rainbow colored knee socks, and light blue Converse style high top boots. For accessories, she wears rainbow colored wristbands.
The human version of Rainbow Dash is the captain of every sports team in Canterlot High. She was once friends with the human versions of Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity before Twilight Sparkle's arrival. However, one time she and the softball team were asked by Applejack to perform at a bake sale. Sunset Shimmer tricked Rainbow into coming on the wrong day by sending her a phone message saying that the bake sale was postponed, with the message being addressed from Applejack. This misunderstanding made Rainbow feel abandoned, and she and Applejack ignored each other thereafter. They later got back together. Rainbow Dash helps Twilight after seeing she has heart for not giving up when they played soccer. She tends to hang out with applejack more than the rest of her friends.
When Twilight invokes the power of the element of magic, Rainbow gains pony ears and wings. After Sunset Shimmer is defeated, Rainbow flies around at the dance, picking up the human Scootaloo and giving her a ride. When the portal to Equestria closes after Twilight's departure, Rainbow Dash's wings and pony ears vanish.
Depiction In Equestira Girls (the first movie)
When Twilight first met Rainbow Dash In Equestira Girls (the first movie). Twilight said to vote her for Fall Formal Princess, Rainbow Dash said, yes, but Rainbow Dash said, Twilight, must beat her in a game of soccer one-on-one. When they play, Rainbow Dash got the most scores, while Twilight got the ball in the last goal and about to kick it, Rainbow Dash immediately steals the ball from her and kicks it and finally the ball shoots in the goal and she got all the scores while, Twilight, is still at zero.
When Twilight is exhausted, she said to her how will she help Twilight become the Fall Formal Princess. But Twilight said she lost, and Rainbow said, of course she'll lost becuase Rainbow is awesome. And she said she wouldn't help someone try and beat Sunset Shimmer, the Fall Formal Princess is someone with heart and determination. Which she said Twilight has it. And she helped Twilight.
At the night of the formal, the group goes against Sunset Shimmer, and, when Sunset morphs into a demonic version of herself, protect Twilight as demon Sunset attemts to harm Twilight with her powers. Quickly after discovering that they weren't damaged- they discover the power and gain their elements and anthropomorphize; Rainbow Dash depicted as the element of loyalty as well as getting a rainbow tail and blue ear and wings.
At the dance Scootaloo is seen dancing, and Rainbow Dash picks her up and flies in the air of the gym. As Twilight is about to leave, Rainbow Dash is seen flying. After Twilight enters the portal, however, her pony ears and wings disappear and she falls to the ground.
Rainbow Dash Quotes
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. If she's going, we're going with her!"
"So you're lookin' to dethrone Sunset Shimmer and become Princess of the Fall Formal, huh? Gotta say, I'd really love to see that happen. I'll totally help you out! All you gotta do is beat me in a game of one-on-one."
"Of course you lost. I'm awesome!"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't the reason."
"Rock on!"
"She has us!"
"What are hands?"

I asked the girls if they wanted to make something for Dada for Father's Day. They said they waited to draw him a monkey and an astronaut. Behold…
What, you don't see it? Maybe if you look at it this way…
I had two pieces of wood that I picked up at the thrift store. I cut two pieces of white fabric just slightly bigger than the wood, squirted out some fabric paint, and let them have at it.
While they painted their "canvases", I sanded the wood then I painted the sides. I chose a sage green color, as I thought using pink or turquoise would be too Miami Vice-y.
When everything dried, I trimmed off the excess from their canvas and applied a layer of Fabric Mod Podge to the wood and a thin layer to the back of the canvas.
Then when that was dry, I applied a DISChanger to the back of the wood for hanging.
And you're done. Super easy…I had everything on hand and it took longer to wait for everything to dry than the actual doing. And we have two little pieces of modern art to cherish for always.
That was pretty much the girls' actual contributions to We Love Dada Week, though they did give their input on our next project. Come on back tomorrow to check it out!

Last year was a disappointment for the Cincinnati Reds. After winning the NL Central in 2010, they followed with a third place finish and only 79 wins. This team has too much offensive firepower to ignore and their upgraded pitching gives this team a fresh look in 2012. If you combine key losses from other teams within the division (Pujols and Fielder to the AL), the Reds look poised for another run at winning the division.
5. Can Jay Bruce lead the league in home runs?
Last year Jay Bruce led his team in home runs with a career-best 32. This 24-year-old has always taunted fantasy owners with 40-home-run potential since his debut in 2008. Expect the tease to continue in 2012 since a significant jump in power seems elusive.
Bruce had a .472 slugging percentage in 2011, which ranks him 46th with qualified hitters. His .217 ISO percentage was good enough for 38th in the league. These numbers are not a result of a down year or a fluke. Instead, they represent his career numbers. If you look at his yearly home run output and believe that there could be more growth, you're only fooling yourself. With his career-high 32 home runs he also received a career-high 589 at-bats. Measure it out and you have one home run every 18.3 at-bats. He's averaged a home run every 18.5 at-bat over his career.
Bruce figures to be one of the safest outfielders in the game. You can bank on 30 home runs, a .260 average and a high number of runs and RBIs. Unless he improves his strikeout rate, Bruce will continue what he started in 2011.
4. What happens with Mat Latos in the Great American Ball Park?
The buzz during the offseason was that the Reds finally got their future ace. Mat Latos showed a lot of potential in his two years in San Diego and could still improve. However, a disappointing 2011 and the belief that  Latos is an established product of Petco have doubters wondering if  he will falter with the less forgiving Great American Ball Park.
His history shows a much more optimistic outlook in Cincinnati. Although it is a small sample size, Latos has pitched 20 innings in the Great American Ballpark, resulting in a 2.70 ERA. His road splits from last season gives more reason for hope. His 3.68 ERA away from Petco along with only eight home runs allowed (out of 16) is palatable. Combined with his post-All-Star break numbers of a 1.00 WHIP and 8.8 K/9, and you have the development of a budding star.
The disappointing first half plus his move out of San Diego has given Latos a lower value than deserved. His ERA will get a small bump upwards, but he'll crack 200 strikeouts and increase his win totals. According to Mock Draft Central, he is currently being drafted as the 18th starting pitcher overall. The upside of Latos features a player who could crack the top ten by the end of the year.
3. Can Drew Stubbs go 30/30?
That was the question surrounding Drew Stubbs going into 2011 and it's a similar question heading into this year. We know the speed is legit after swiping 40 bases last year, but can we count on a return of power? Don't hold your breath fantasy owners. After hitting 28 bombs in four years of minor league action , there is no reason to expect an increase in power. His 22 home runs in 2010 is the clear outlier. The 15 home runs he hit last year seems more reasonable and likely.
The issue with Stubbs has always been his strikeouts and atrocious batting average. This is a player who likes to swing the bat. His 30.1 strikeout rate is the second worst in the majors (behind Mark Reynolds). This caused Dusty Baker to shake up the lineup midway through the season. Stubbs started the year as the lead-off but was relocated to the middle of the order as the season progressed. That will continue in 2012, where Stubbs is projected to bat sixth or seventh.
The change in lineup affects his fantasy value. He will not exceed 90 runs again this season. He may be lucky to get 80. His RBIs will go up, but not enough to warrant early attention in the draft. Stubbs' value lies in his speed. If he can control his free-swinging tendencies, Stubbs could move up in the order, record more runs and maybe even break 45-50 stolen bases.
2. Does Aroldis Chapman make the rotation?
Let's see if we can create a new nickname: The Cuban Heater. What else would you call this elite Cuban prospect? He's hit 100 miles-per-hour on the radar gun with his fast ball. He's shown elite strikeout capabilities. It's a fitting nickname.
Now, allow me to throw some water on The Heater. Early this spring, Dusty Baker decided to give Aroldis Chapman a chance to break camp as the club's fifth starter. But as spring injuries started to mount in the bullpen (Ryan Madson – right elbow inflammation, Bill Bray – left groin strain, Nick Masset – shoulder soreness), there was no choice but to put him back in the bullpen.
Madson's injury is less concerning, but the loss of the left handed Bray will put the nail in the coffin in any rotation hopes. Instead, Chapman will be the set-up man (along with Sean Marshall) and provide little value in any standard mixed leagues.
His only value will be above-average strikeouts, probably netting you 1 1/2 strikeouts for every inning pitched. But the lack of control will cost you. His 7.38 BB/9 was the worst in the league last year. He'll give you strikeouts, he'll give you a sprinkling of holds, he'll kill your WHIP doing so.
1. Can Johnny Cueto be an elite pitcher?
The biggest issue surrounding Johnny Cueto has nothing to do with talent. Last year he decreased his ERA to 2.31 and his WHIP to 1.09. Those numbers are enough to make any fantasy owner drool at the potential of this 26-year-old. The issue is whether he can stay on the mound for the full year. His outstanding ratio stats came with only 24 games started. He missed the entire month of April from a bicep injury and was shut down in mid-September due to a back muscle strain.
So far this spring, he looks healthy, but let's tame our expectations. A closer look at Cueto shows a declining strikeout rate. Last year's 104 strikeouts were a career low. It could be explained by his injury if it weren't for a three-year trend in declining rates. Also declining is his walk rate. Last year he only walked 47 batters, also a career low. This too has been a three-year trend and seems to be a fair trade off.
The biggest red flag with Cueto is his unsustainable ERA. It's such a large drop from his 3.83 career average, and his xFIP was more in line with his career numbers. Don't be surprised if his ERA this year is closer to 3.50 than his amazing 2011 campaign.
Johnny Cueto seems to be a regression candidate rather than leap forward. He should have more appearances, thus more strikeouts but WHIP will go slightly northward and his ERA will increase, by as much as a full run-and-a-half.

by Mark Sisson: Vitamin
D: Sun Exposure, Supplementation andDoses
Last week's
York Times
featured an article about a Dr. Jeremijenko, not a physician
but an engineer who offered clients tips for making their personal
environments healthier, more naturally pleasing, and more environmentally
friendly. Dr. Jeremijenko's suggestions ranged from planting
sunflowers and EDTA soil supplements to leach harmful lead in yards
to surrounding yourself with more houseplants for both their aesthetic
value and healthy ability to absorb toxic VOCs in the air. She even
offers clients reports on the "top polluters in their neighborhoods"
and other information on environmental concerns relevant to their
The good doctor's
story got us thinking. We all chat quite a bit about the best
diet, the ideal
exercise routine, even effective
sleep strategies. Yet, our personal environment, we've
said, includes a great
deal we have little to no control over: air pollution, water
impurity, and the chemical makeup of modern "stuff" –
(i.e. chemicals included, some for good reason and others not so
much, in the products we use every day). Wise supplementation (shamless
plug) can help counter some of their effects, but what if we
knew how to reduce toxic impact from the get-go?
The idea here
is reducing our own biological "chemical load," the number
and amount of toxins we carry in our bodies. This includes everything
from heavy metals like mercury, arsenic and lead to virtually omnipresent
flame retardant compounds called PBDEs to chemicals like phthalates,
formaldehyde, PCBs, and bisphenol A (just to name a few). These
toxins are invaders, and the body knows it. Some, like the heavy
metals, impact neurological functioning. Others, like phthalates,
disrupt the endocrine balance. PBDEs, at lower levels, can seriously
impact thyroid functioning (an issue for a number of our readers)
and at higher levels, can impair reproductive and neurological functioning.
In short, this issue is nothing to shake a stick at.
in both the human health and environmental sciences are learning
from the growing use of biomonitoring surveys, in which blood and
urine samples from humans (and animals) are tested for the presence
of certain toxins. A person's chemical load is, in part, determined
by where they live and how old they are, but it's also strongly
influenced by what kind of lifestyle they lead and the measures
they take to minimize their exposure to environmental and consumer
toxins in their home and work places.
all about taking charge of our health and well-being, we thought.
"So," we asked, "What are some easy and inexpensive
ways for all of us to reduce our chemical load?" Check it out.
Clean up
Your Shower
Got chlorine
in your water? Most likely, since it's commonly used in municipal
water treatment programs. Once that chlorine comes out in the fine,
hot spray of your morning shower, there's concern about breathing
it in day after day. Quick fix? Buy a simple shower filter, which
usually go for about $30-45.
And while you're
at it, you might want to take a look at ye olde shower curtain as
well. We suggest getting rid of a vinyl (PVC) curtain, which contains
phthalates that can be absorbed by the skin. Again, if you're
purely a bath person, you probably don't have much to worry
about. However, if you are a shower lover, that aforementioned hot
water can allegedly help release phthalates into your otherwise
soothing shower experience. Simple solution? Choose a nylon, linen,
or PEVA plastic. They come as cheap as $4.
Use Natural
All those flame
retardants? They're most critical for synthetic fabrics. (That
polyester jumpsuit in the back of your closet will go up in flames
much quicker than your everyday merino wool suit.) But we're
talking about more than clothes here. Look around your house. PBDEs
can make up to 30% of the weight of synthetic foam in furniture
items, and those chemicals get spread around the house every time
you sit down or get up from your furniture. As a result, PBDEs are
found in the household dust of nearly every American home. Choose
natural fiber rugs and carpets whenever possible. And look for furniture
made with wool, natural rubber and latex instead of synthetic materials
especially for high-use furniture like mattresses. We recognize,
however, that fully natural furniture can be difficult to afford.
Other options? Look for options that use non-PBDE retardants. Though
PBDEs aren't the only flame retardant, they're generally
considered the most lasting and insidious. Alternatives like borate
retardants have their issues as well but are considered safer overall.
Oh, and it's best to skip any stain guard coatings. Tell the
kids to keep it in the kitchen instead.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- A federal judge has ruled that the state may not enforce several rules that minor political parties claim are roadblocks to getting their candidates on the ballot.
State law says a minor political party must collect 40,000 signatures by April 5 to get its name on the ballot in 2012. In July, the state's Green Party and Constitution Party sued, claiming those requirements and several others were unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge William J. Haynes Jr. ruled in favor of the minor parties in February. The state appealed to the Sixth Circuit and asked for a stay of the judgment until that appeal was heard.
On Friday, Judge Haynes denied the stay.

Government will solve obesity in the U.K.:
A radical plan to improve the nation's health – including a workplace "exercise hour" – has been unveiled by a leading Government adviser.
New figures today show England is the fattest country in the EU. Now Professor Julian Le Grand, chairman of Health England, hopes to encourage people to improve their diets, give up smoking and exercise more.
He proposed the introduction of a smoking permit, which smokers would be required to show each time they bought tobacco. It is then their choice to go smoke free and not buy a permit.
Companies with more than 500 staff would have an "exercise hour". Employees would have to deliberately choose not to join in. The proposalsare the opposite of the Government's approach which requires people to opt in to healthy lifestyles. Instead it would be up to them to make the unhealthy choice.
One can only hope that the "exercise hour" will complement my National Exercise Initiative.10:04 am on October 23, 2007 Email Manuel Lora

method of delivery. Microscopically, cutaneous effects begin to appear almost immediately after sulfur mustard contact with skin. Large dosages yield an immediate and profound effect in 1 to 2 hours. Necrosis of the skin following the delivery of large vapor dosages does not appear instantaneously, usually occurring after variable periods of latency. Total necrosis of the skin may occur. Small vapor dosages yield delayed skin effects that may occur 7 to 14 days after exposure. Interestingly, the timing of the onset of sulfur mustard cutaneous reactions is not unlike that observed in cutaneous reactions associated with common Rhus (poison ivy oleoresin) dermatitis.
The precise mechanism whereby increased humidity or increased moisture on the skin potentiates sulfur mustard effect is unknown. However, it is possible to assume that wetting the skin alters the permeability of skin cells, thereby increasing the ability of sulfur mustard to penetrate to metabolically active layers; 5 percent, but not 4 percent, sodium chloride-containing water reduces sulfur mustard effects on the skin. It is postulated that 5 percent sodium chloride decreases the solubility of sulfur mustard in water, decreases the overall rate at which sulfur mustard molecules become activated, or alters sulfur mustard penetrability through skin (Renshaw, 1947).
The mechanism whereby an increase in environmental temperature increases the adverse effect of sulfur mustard is also unknown. Increased environmental temperature may simply increase body temperature, stimulating eccrine sweat gland activity and a concomitant increase in hydration of the skin. It is also possible that profuse sweating and a concomitant increase in the amount of pure water on the skin cause activation of greater quantities of sulfur mustard at the site. Blistering of the skin by exposure to UV light is also enhanced by increased temperature and humidity.
The site of skin exposure and the thickness of skin may often determine the type of cutaneous responses experienced upon exposure to sulfur mustard. Thick skin is purported to be less affected by the irritant effects of sulfur mustard. Likewise, young skin, thought to be morphologically thinner than old skin, and female skin, thought to be thinner and more delicate than male skin, are suspected of reacting more severely at all sites upon a given exposure to sulfur mustard (Mathias, 1987; Renshaw, 1946). Racial factors and skin color appear to have even less well defined relationships. It has been generally accepted that black skin reacts in a different manner than white skin to contact allergens and irritants. Yet there are no good experimental data to support the concept that there are substantial differences in the cutaneous response of black or white skin to antigen and injury. Weigand and colleagues (1974) described a difference between black and white skin in the number of cell layers in the stratum corneum, but these differences

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA) provide average annual lending commitments for investment projects of US$10-US$15 billion a year. These funds are used by recipient countries to purchase goods and equipment, construct civil works, and obtain the consulting services needed to implement these projects. Each project may involve many separate contracts and business opportunities for suppliers, contractors, and consultants worldwide.When pursuing business opportunities in projects financed by the World Bank, it is essential to understand that the implementing agency in the recipient country is responsible for procurement. All contracts are between the borrower (usually the government department that is its implementing agency) and the supplier, contractor or consultant. The Bank's role is to make sure that the borrower's work is done properly, that the agreed procurement procedures are observed, and that the entire process is conducted with efficiency, fairness, transparency and impartiality.More information on this process can be found in:
