Scene One: Gran Quivera
It is early evening in Port Loren, capitol city of Gran Quivera, the heart of United Planetary Federation in the Frontier. It is a busting city, always busy, often called the city that never sleeps. The headquarters of Greyfalcon Security Services, your employer, is here in the downtown sector and your team has been called in for a new mission briefing. The briefing room is setup in the style of conference room. The walls are a brushed bronze with light strips in a decorative pattern. An oval table of the same brushed bronze color dominates the room with twelve chairs around it. The table has a holotank in the center and computer controls at each chair. A few minutes after you've all gathered, your operator, a greying and grizzled yazirian veteran named Boren Tchal, enters the room followed by a vrusk. The latter is wearing an open collar business suit and carries a datapad.
"I'll get right to it," Boren Tchal begins in his raspy voice, as he sits at one end of the table. The vrusk its to his right. "This is Professor Vzzit Kral'ek, xeno-archeologist with the Krataar Institute of Social Sciences. He's contracted for the full suite of services for an expedition: transport, assistance and safe-guarding of himself and any data recovered. This is a one-off, short duration contract. Standard rates apply for each of you, with performance bonuses depending on outcomes. Charter ship Star Wolf is standing by at the space dock in orbit. I'll let the professor introduce the expedition and answer questions about it." With that, he gestures to the professor, then leans back in his chair.
The professor buzzes something
unintelligible, then begins speaking, and it is clear that he has a common, though by no means universal, vrusk lisp. "Zank you, Mr. Tchal. Az I am
vell known in ze vorld ov xeno-archeology, I am sometimezz invormed ov interesting vinds," he
begins. "One such informant is a colonist on a newly opened world approximately 6.3 light years from Prenglar, orbiting a binary star system long thought to be more trouble than it was worth. The Cassidine Development Corporation established a mine of some sort. My informant stumbled upon an ancient ruin of some sort. The information is sketchy, but the image appears to be some sort of ziggurat." He turns the datapad to face you and there is a poor-quality, grainy image of a rocky canyon with a squat lump that may, or may not, be a short step pyramid.
"I plan to travel there, with your assistance, take holo-photos of the site, and retrieve any notable artifacts. Any questions?"
Pictures of both of the NPCs are HERE.
Cid was relaxed during the briefing, being used to having these types of meetings through school and even in the medical world. But this was a mission that took him a bit away, an exploratory mission for something that hasn't really been looked at before. This was one of his first chances to continue deeper on the reason he had joined the company. Cid was serious about professors, he toned out Borens snide remark, thinking due respect should be given to a professor.
As the professor asked for questions a few came to mind so Cid spoke up. "Thank you Professor," not wanting to try to pronounce the name knowing he would screw it up "it appears the site we're going to is pretty rocky, are there plans to beyond the currently shown location? Can you tell us what kind of atmosphere, gravity and terrain the planet has. Also, have there been any signs of life forms, besides the ones who are exploring, that reside on the planet or have the reports come up that it is currently desolate?" The second question was because he found himself easily encumbered on heavy gravity planets and wanted to know just how much he should pack or be aware of. Plus, he always wanted to have this type of information for off-world travel, especially since he didn't know much about it and it sounds like not much was known about the planet. After the responses he asks, "One last question and thank you for being patient with me, what artifacts are you hoping to find?" he left the question vague to allow the professor to disclose as little or as much as he wanted to. Cid was a curious person and knew that wasn't always welcomed - however he also knew the jobs they were recruited for is not something he would disclose to others and hoped it would not offend the professor in the least.
Ice pulled into the garage in a company
GC and hopped out. He could hear the music blasting so did not bother calling out. As was the case nearly every time he was met first by Grinder, "Hey little guy what's up?" The rhetorical question was met with a bit of chirping and whirring as Grinder landed on his shoulder and moved down his right arm as it continued to chirp and whirr. "Yeah, yeah, your uncle Ice did not forget." Ice reaches into the bag he was carrying in his right hand and pulls out a fieldkit disposable seal. The metal seal used to keep the contents of a fieldkit fresh was made such that it was a highly recyclable bit of garbage and as such fairly easy to come by as most recycle centers had a few laying around. Grinder liked it perhaps because it was metal but it was mallable enough that it could render it into small bits of metal shavings and perhaps most importantly he was allowed to trash it. Granted thoroughly trashing it would take Grinder several hours of happy contented grinding to do so, Ice viewed it as being akin to tossing a dog a favored bone.
After that Ice entered the shop proper. He stepped over this bit of partially finished whatever and around this other partially finished whatever and finally ducked under yet another partially finished whatever, and finally arrived at the music box which he casually reached over to and flipped the off switch. The music did not stop. He looked at the box, flipped the switch a few more times and then sighed. He then reached around the back and ejected the SEU clip, the music finally and abruptly stopped. With a half annoyed and half bemused look on his face he looked over at Fly, "Really, was that necessary."
After a bit of pleasantry greeting and a short discussion on why Fly felt he needed to bypass the off switch on the music box, Ice said, "Oh almost forgot why I came, I got a GC you worked on. I think your gum dried up and fell off cuz the speed gauge is not working properly again and they want it, like everything, fixed asap. So get your what you need and lets go." After a Fly indicates he is going to the meeting but will be late Ice replies, "Okay suit yourself." He jumps back into the GC and pulls out of the garage.
Upon arriving in the meeting room he takes a seat that is the farthest from the head of the table without being directly opposite it either. Then sits down and props his feet up on the table and put his head back pulling his wide brimmed hat forward and relaxes.
When Boren enters and raps solidly on the table, a warning that the next rap would be on Ice's head if he did not sit proper, Ice quickly pulled his feet off the table and pushed his hat back into position. Boren might be an old fart, but he was an old fart that could kick Ice's tail fairly easily and had done so, literally, on numerous occasions. Ice had gotten the impression that the old fart seemed to enjoy using that form of disciplinary action, if necessary, and as such tried to avoid its necessity. After the briefing was over, throughout which as well, Ice just sat and looked attentively bored. There did not seem to be anything for him to be concerned about, a simple driving mission over severely rough terrain and if he got lucky maybe he'd go out on his own and scout this or that, still the whole thing held about as much potentially excitement as listening to a bunch of Dralasites discussing Tririnnian Biophysics.
Cody sits quietly, arms folded, his eyes hooded almost closed, but in reality he is taking everything in, his military experience allows him to absorb the info provided, such as it is,. He listens to the doc's questions and tilts his head to one side and he frowns, for himself he's far more interested in possible threats. Sitting forward he clears his throat and speaks, "I have a question too professor, well an add on to the doctor's question. Do we know if there are any dangerous local fauna and flora" he sits back and waits for the Vrusk to answer.
Alexis sits quietly next to Cody. Her eyes following to each person who spoke. Her mind began to play out some simulated possibilities.
"Sir, with the few unknowns given to us by the professor, I believe a higher level of security be provided to the professor which includes any possible recovered artifacts. We may need to have access to additional weapons and defenses." After a quick moment, she adds "Does our contract give us hazard pay if the situation becomes warranted?"
Having nothing to really add to the discussion, none of this really coming into his skillset, Andrew simply listens and takes notes, intending to research the destination as soon as the briefing was over.
One question, however, does need answering. "How soon do we leave?"
Kangee sits back in his chair, idly stroking his chin hair while the professor speaks. This type of mission was not what he had been expecting; nevertheless, it had the possibility of being exciting.
He leans forward as Andrew speaks and adds, "And how long are we expected to be gone for?"
The professor buzzes again, clearing his throat, as he pulls the datapad back. "The world is classified as CDC13669, but the miners, I gather, have started calling it 'Rock Pit,'" he begins in answer to Cid. "It is a cold world, averaging five degrees standard in the equatorial regions, where we plan to go. That area is a mostly barren, rocky desert. The planetology report is incomplete, though there appears to be some higher order life in an ecological system. I presume that includes predatory life, but it is not my field, really. I don't know what kinds of artifacts may be found, as I have not identified the culture. Anything would be a treasure." There is a glint of excitement as he mentions the potential for artifacts.
"As to the rest," Boren cuts in. "The explorer and the doc's kit have already been sent ahead to the Star Wolf. You leave as soon as possible. Analysis doesn't estimate that the doc is in any personal danger, but the informant may sell the location to other parties, so time is of the essence. This is not a combat sortie; you may requisition some extra ammunition for the side-arms considering the distance from a resource post. Also, any survival gear you deem necessary, run it by me; but leave today." He pauses to make sure the last statement is understood as an order, not a suggestion. "The system is 6.3 light years away, figure 7 days one-way through void-space, up to eight days on the ground. Hazard pay is authorized if it comes to that, along with medical expenses, as standard."
Cid nods to Boren and the Professor, understanding that the professor is extremely excited to start heading over. "5 degrees standard, definitely a cold world. I suggest everyone make sure to have an all weather blanket and an everflame on your person in case you somehow get separated and require a fire overnight to stay warm. That being said, I assume radio contact with
Star Wolf and each other will be provided should something happen that requires an immediate response?
He sits forwards, hands now upon his knees as he's ready to stand up and go, but of course waits for everyone else to be finished with their briefing. "Professor, thank you for your time and information. I look forward to the mission and hope we can uncover many great artifacts and clues for you during our time there." Cid was maybe slightly less excited to get going and see what all the hype was about than the professor himself. He also needed to head to the armory right after the meeting finished to purchase additional
gear and borrow an additional SEU clip, just in case, before heading to the ship to depart on the mission. With a weeks time of travel, Cid believed he may be able to do a bit of research and talking with the Professor about the planet, the ziggurat, the professors expertise in artifacts and what has been given for information to garner any additional clues as to what to expect - hopefully if there was anything beyond what they originally thought they would encounter the party would have the proper equipment.
Silent, and taking in all the information, H'trank assesses her team mates. The usual mix of brash and unruly humans, of course, but it was satisfying to be serving a fellow Vrusk in a professional capacity, as it has always been. His institute, she muses, must be doing quite well to fund such research and to afford our valuable services.
She buzzes her acceptance of the information he has provided in their shard native tongue, her speech laden with satisfaction and confidence. Switching back to her high-pitched monotone buzz that passes for Pan Galactic for the benefit of her mates, she continues. "I look forward to our organizations working together, Professor Kral'ek, and we will endeavor to ensure that your operation is entirely successful."
The pleasantries and social niceties out of the way, her mind snaps into motion in planning the gear requisition that will be appropriate for the climate and the circumstances, seemingly dismissing the others present in the room as she ruminates.

Tag: l.e.p. bogus boys
Picking up where "Ginger" left off, Moonie and Count celebrate the finer things in life with their latest visual, "Lust For Life". Both tracks appear on last year's standout, Don't Feed The Killaz Vol. 3. In related news, a couple corporate niggas are trying to build a rapport with the Lower End Professionals.
[sparkart-clique site="rap_radar" video="lep"] The creators of Don't Feed The Killaz Vol. 3 sent this over after learning of their selection on our top 10 mixtape list. The duo say they are currently working on new material featuring Rick Ross, Kanye West, Raheem DeVaughn and Gucci Mane. That's a hood look.

Look out for Don't Feed The Killaz Vol.3 […]

Amazing personality ! He is literally a L-E-G-E-N-D among students, first of all because he is a lovely personality and secondly because of his lectures.
His lectures are really entertaining, with really cool jokes which make students feel more comfortable and enjoy learning but most importantly he manages to explain complex ideas/theories/ techniques with astonishing clarity and creativity.
Finally the student community has a huge respect for Dr. Avison because he hasn't forgotten how it is to be a student; a feature that maybe is missing in other lecturers! Would recommend to present his lecture on '' How to read scientific literature'' or whatever he wants !!

Are Soldiers Mostly Poor and Minority?
by Steve Sailer
UPI, January 16, 2003
Congressman Charles Rangel (D-Harlem, NY), a Korean War veteran, has introduced a bill to reinstate the military draft, arguing, "A disproportionate number of the poor and members of minority groups make up the enlisted ranks of the [volunteer] military."
Indeed, in a little noticed development, the percentage of military personnel who were minorities shot upward during the years from 1995 to 2000, with enlisted ranks rising from 28 percent to 38 percent minority (compared to about 30% of the national population), and the officer corps growing from 11 percent to 19 percent minority.
The booming economy of the late 1990s may have made it harder for the Pentagon to recruit whites, who tend to enjoy more lucrative opportunities in the civilian economy than do blacks or Hispanics.
Blacks are found disproportionately in the military, while Hispanic residents, many of whom are not citizens, are slightly underrepresented. Blacks cluster most heavily in the Army and are least common in the Air Force.
Contrary to popular belief, blacks have not died in combat in disproportionate numbers, even in Vietnam. Two leading military sociologists, Charles Moskos of Northwestern and John Sibley Butler of the U. of Texas, researched this carefully for their 1996 book "All We Can Be: Black Leadership and Racial Integration the Army Way." They reported, "Black fatalities amounted to 12.1 percent of all Americans killed in Southeast Asia -- a figure proportional to the number of blacks in the U.S. population at the time and slightly lower than the proportion of blacks in the Army at the close of the war."
In recent decades, blacks have tended to gravitate away from combat jobs, although much of the reason for this is the higher percentage of black soldiers who are women, and thus excluded from the infantry. In arguing against Congressman Rangel's bill, the Department of Defense noted, "Blacks today account for 21 percent of the enlisted force, but make up only 15 percent of combat arms (e.g., infantry, armor, artillery)." (African-Americans make up about 13 percent of young adults, so they are still somewhat over-represented in combat positions, by a ratio of about 15 to 13, so among male soldiers, blacks are even more over-represented.) "In contrast, blacks account for 36 percent of Functional Support and Administration and 27 percent of Medical and Dental career fields. "
Interestingly, the military today seems to attract pugnacious whites and pragmatic blacks. Analysts have suggested that more young white men see the infantry as a way, in the words of one, to "play Rambo" from age 18 to 22, then go to college using military tuition benefits. In contrast, blacks often view the military as either a long-term career in itself, or as a way to get practical training for a civilian white-collar or technical career.
Are soldiers the products of particularly poor families? In general, the enlisted ranks come from neither the top nor the bottom of society, but from working and middle class backgrounds. Very few enlistees appear to be the scions of the wealthy. (Some officers are from rich families, however; but a larger proportion of officers are the sons and daughters of officers, who are of course not paid lavishly.)
White enlistees tend to come from households somewhat lower in income than the general white population: $33,500 per year versus $44,400 for the average white, according to 1999 Defense Department statistics. Strikingly, black enlistees come from households above the black national average: $32,000 vs. $27,900.
In fact, on a number of measures, African-American enlistees tend to stand well above the black average and very close to, or above, the mean for white enlistees. The celebrated high degree of racial equality and amity found in the military, especially in the Army, would appear to benefit from the similar backgrounds that black and white soldiers bring to the Army.
Not only do black and white soldiers come from households of almost equal income, but their educational attainments are virtually identical. In 1994, 99 percent of black and 97 percent of white Army enlisted personnel were high school graduates, figures above the national average.
When the Volunteer Army began three decades ago, black recruits had much higher graduation rates that whites. In the late 1970s, according to Moskos and Sibley, 90 percent of black Army enlistees had their degrees, versus only about 40 percent of whites. After the large pay raises of the early 1980s, the Army was able to recruit a better class of youth, so the black advantage narrowed as both groups' graduations rates approached 100%.
The racial gap in test scores that bedevils American civilian society is a much smaller problem in the Army. Moskos and Sibley found that in 1994: "83 percent of white recruits scored in the upper half of the mental aptitude test (compared with 61 percent of white youths in the national population), while 59 percent of black recruits scored in the upper half (compared with 14 percent of the black youths nationwide)."
African-American enlistees are also more likely to come from two-parent families than is the norm among blacks, according to the Defense Department.

Gov. Steve Beshear: 'I won't take money from education to fix pension underfunding'
(Editor's note: This post was updated at 10:45 a.m. on January 24. The original version of this post misstated the level of state government staffing, and the grade the state received from Education Week magazine.)
In the middle of his remarks to Greater Louisville Inc.'s Capital Connection event today, Gov. Steve Beshear joked that politicians have a habit of being on both sides of an issue.
But Beshear spoke bluntly and extemporaneously for an hour to his 600-plus audience of Louisville business leaders about where he stands on a number of issues. He spoke in the most detail about the state's pension shortfall, which is about $30 billion.
Kentucky got severely upside-down on the retirement funds because in good economic times, state government diverted state pension contributions to other things, he said.
"You can't point any fingers and blame any set of individuals," he said.
Beshear noted that recommendations are that the state begin instituting the discipline of paying annual actuarially required contributions, or ARCs, that would return public employee retirement funds to liquidity.
"The big question is, 'Where does that money come from? … $100 million to $300 million for the next 25 or 30 years.
"It's a lot of money."
Beshear rebutted conventional thinking that the state can solve the problem through revenue growth as the United States recovers from the Great Recession.
"Let me disabuse you of that. Revenues are not growing at anywhere near the rate to do that. We have to meet other obligations. Revenue growth is not going to solve that problem."
Beshear said he will not take money from education, economic development, public safety or other essential budget segments to fund the public pensions.
He said he spent the last five years leading the state through recession, "and it wasn't pretty. It wasn't fun."
The state cut $1.6 billion from the budget since 2008, and the Kentucky has the smallest state-government workforce in 20 years, according to Beshear. "No one can say we haven't addressed this problem. It's just that there's no extra change laying around, and people need to understand that."
Beshear said that even with budget cuts, the state has pushed ahead in education.
He referred to Education Week's latest ranking of states, saying Kentucky had risen to No. 10 currently from No. 34 two years ago. (On the most recent ranking, Kentucky received a "grade" of B-, 76.9 based on six categories including student achievement and school finance.)
Beshear said even in education, Kentucky is at a "breaking point," where the state's education system is essentially treading water, with no budget increases while the student population is climbing.
"In some (school) systems, students can't even take textbooks home. These kinds of things aren't acceptable to me. I hope they're not acceptable to you."
Beshear said he expects the Kentucky General Assembly to go into special session after its current regular session to debate both tax reform and the pension issue.
The governor spent the first part of his speech extolling job creation in Kentucky. "There is no state better positioned to lead this nation out of the recession than the Commonwealth of Kentucky," he said.
He also endorsed Louisville Metro Mayor Greg Fischer's proposal for a local option sales tax, a temporary tax Fischer says would be dedicated to large Louisville projects. Currently, under the state constitution, localities and municipalities do not have the authority to institute such a tax.
Earlier this month, Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway ruled that cities can levy only license taxes or ad valorem taxes, not excise taxes such as a special local sales tax.

The first blockbuster hit came from an unlikely source: Irish talk radio.
In 2010, Michael D. Higgins, then a foreign-policy spokesperson for Ireland (and now its president), went on the radio in Galway and excoriated a conservative American talk show host for opposing President Obama's plan to enact universal health care. For a long time, the audio file of the berating lingered in Internet purgatory. Then, in August 2012, Mansur Gidfar uploaded the audio to the new, rapidly growing site Upworthy.com in August 2012. He tried the headline, "A Tea Partier Decided To Pick A Fight With A Foreign President. It Didn't Go So Well." The article went certifiably berserk, eventually becoming the site's first million-hit story.
Today, Upworthy is a million-hit machine for heartfelt, progressive content, and it is trying to use this alchemy—spinning hearty fiber into viral gold—on behalf of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. On Tuesday, the company announced it is launching a global health and poverty section backed with Gates money, suggesting a future for not only the site's editorial strategy but also for its business.
Upworthy has mastered the dark viral arts with a unique blend of A/B technology and lily-white earnestness. The staff scours the Web for "stuff that matters," writes multiple headlines for a test audience, selects the top-performer, and blasts it out on social media. It's a deceptively simple plan that's devouring the Internet, one Facebook Newsfeed at a time. The site nearly surpassed 50 million unique visitors in October, which suggests traffic comparable to giants like Time.com, and Fox News.
Upworthy has run paid content, like a Microsoft-sponsored video of a Ugandan man talking to his family over Skype. But this is the first time that an organization like the Gates Foundation has paid to popularize a particular concept like global health and poverty. In a way, the partnership harkens back to Upworthy's founding idea to be a bullhorn for non-profits, amplifying their research and message, and then taking a cut. This pilot partnership will provide one full-time "curator" to trawl the Web for stories about toilets (Everyone Poops, But 2.6 Billion People Do It In A Really Crappy Way) and global disease (When Future Generations Look Back On Us, They'll Say We Had The Opportunity To End 3 Awful Epidemics).
"We've always wanted to draw attention to the most important issues," co-founder and CEO Eli Pariser told me. "The health and poverty of the lower third of the world's population is one of the least covered issues of our time. There are people who put incredible effort and creativity into making a YouTube video on malaria, and it just gets 5,000 views. We're hoping to go out and find those things and bring them to a much wider audience."
... And Made Me a Little Sick
Upworthy's vertiginous success isn't without criticism. The site's pleading, occasionally histrionic, gooeyness has inspired criticisms of so-called "glurge" and a popular parody account, @UpWorthIt. Here, for example, is a list of Upworthy's 11 greatest hits, whose pageviews are downright otherworldly.

For most of us running a blog or any type of website, better search engine placement is one of the main things to determine popularity of our site. Without better search engine placement we lost a large portion of our website visitors. Personally I get about 80% of total visitors to my site from Google alone. There are many factors that determine our position in search result pages one of them is using www with domain or using only domain (www.domain.com or domain.com) and redirecting unused one to the used one.
Most of search engines including Google regard www attached before our site as a different website than our site with non www. So search engines ranks our site with www and with non www differently which result in search engines thinking that the two sites are using duplicate contents. Also among the back links we get to our site some links are to www.domain.com and some are to domain.com which makes search engine think that we getting less back links then we are getting actually. So our rank in search engines gets divided between sites with www and non www.
So its always a good practice to one among www or non www in our site and redirect unused one to used. Most of big sites use this. For example if we type google.com in our browser it automatically gets redirected to www.google.com
There are many ways to use only www or non www site and redirect unused to used one.
I have mentioned the way to do so with C-panel here.
1>first of all login to your C-panel and search for the icon with "redirects" as shown below and click on it.
2> in the page that opens choose the domain you want to redirect then choose "only redirect with www" if you want to use domain.com and choose "do not redirect www" if you want to use www.domain.com and type the website that you want to use in "redirect to" field and click "add".

UK General Articles and Info
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
WHatever it is, if it's interesting, and people will want to read or will benefit from reading it, then we will consider publishing it.
Our intention is to provide interesting, valuable articles and our intention is never to offend, only to inform.
But, saying that, I believe that some people even get offended by nursery rhymes these days!
Tyre Tread Depth Vs. Stopping Distance
Beleive it or not, relatively bald tyres can stop you quicker and better than tyres with plenty of tread depth!
The reason for this is simply that with bald tyres there is simply more rubber in contact with the road, whereas when a tyre has a good tread depth, there is a significant percentage of the tyre that is not in contact with the road.
The Legal Requirements
This arguement however is simply not going to wash with a police officer! The legal requirements in the UK state that you must have a minimum of 1.6mm depth of tread across the central three quarters of your tyre and around the entire outer circumference. Having tyres on your car that do not meet this requirement could result in receiveing 3 penalty points on your driving licence and a fine of up to 1000 pounds PER TYRE!
The reason for the law is basically for the purpose of wet weather driving. The grooves in the tread of the tyre are designed to disperse water when the road is wet.
Tests have shown that even a tread depth of 1.6mm can be insufficient for stopping in certain conditions compared to a depth of 3mm. Some European countries reflect this by having a minimum legal tread depth of 3mm as opposed to 1.6mm
The general principle can be seen with Formula 1 racing cars. The best grip is with tyres known as Slicks. These are basically (but much more than) bald tyres. However, the moment there is any water on the racing track, the cars start to slide all over the place and have to pitstop to change to wet weather tyres, which have tread.
This article was provided on belalf of a compare driving schools website covering Driving Lessons Birmingham and intensive driving courses Dudley.
I Hate Potholes
In January/February potholes can be at their worst. They can be wider and deeper due to the icy conditions, but councils have not had the opportunity to fill them in.
The reason that potholes get worse in bad weather is for the simple reason that water expands when frozen. Water gets into the potholes, filling every 'nook' and 'cranny', it then freezes, therefore expanding and forcing the hole apart further and pushing some of the contents out.
Potholes can seriously damage your car. From tyre damage from simply hitting the sharp edge of a hole, to the more expensive damage of the suspension being 'shunted' beyond what it can cope with, potholes are a hazard for everyone.
Another significant issue is the safety issue – when someone driving their car makes a sudden change in speed or direction to avoid one of these potholes. Imagine the disaster if someone was to swerve at the last moment to avoid a pothole at the same time as someone else had begun to overtake!
Again, what if someone was to do some last minute braking so they didn't hit a pothole as hard – only to find that the car behind was too close! Yes it would be argued that the car behind was too close, but the situation would certainly have been initiated by the pothole in the road.
It was recently reported that a Coventry driving school had begun driving lessons specifically to avoid potholes safely!
Whether this next 'fact' is true or not – I also heard that one council had resolved to pay the insurance claims as opposed to fixing the roads themselves as it would be cheaper – how short sighted!

Greywing Financial
Take a minute and look at your finances. What does that mean? Take a look at what you have. How much cash? How much value in stocks? How much in bonds? What about other items of value? Cars? What are they really worth? Home? After selling it, paying the fees, how much cash would you have left?
Then take all of the money you owe, take the expenses you and your spouse and kids will incur while under your roof, for the estimated duration of your life.
Subtract the second one from the first one, and you will have a pretty good idea about what it is going to take to get you from here to the end.
Now of course whether you shop at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, and whether you vacation in Palm Springs or Tahiti, is going to make a huge difference as well.
We are here to help you get the first number above to be equal to the second number. Really that simple.
Welcome aboard, and please remain seated while the train is in motion.

Five Key Indigenous Peoples Issues Every Week - News
- Details

Five Key Indigenous Peoples Issues For The Week Of March 21 - 27, 2011: Canada, Peru, Australia, Belize, Malaysia
Canada: Declaration For An Action Plan To Fight Against Racism Towards Aboriginal Peoples
At the conclusion of the Symposium "For a Quebec Proud of its relationship with the First Nations: Anti-racism Policy and Action Plan", held at l'Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM), the Organizing Committee and the participants adopted a Declaration asking the government of Quebec "to initiate the necessary steps for the adoption of a policy to fight against racism and discrimination, and an action plan which is peculiar to the First Nations".
This policy and action plan should take into consideration, amongst others, the following dimensions:
- The systemic discrimination and discrimination between citizens, the dimensions linked to rights already established by treaties relating to the exploitation and utilization of lands and its natural resources;
- The social problems linked to education, health, social services, housing, eldercare, and seniors;
- The history of the First Nations.
Peru: FENAMAD Calls For Transparency In The Process Of Approval Of Forestry And Wildlife Law, And Supports The Complaint Of AIDESEP In Denouncing Adulteration Of Agreements By The Agricultural Committee Of Congress
Such a thing could not be ignored. In Peru, has opened the way for the Andean and Amazonian peoples involved, for the first time, in making government decisions. Should be a model which in itself reflects its virtues so that future governments continue this process. However, news like this tarnish the work so far has been doing.
It turns out that the Association for the Development of the Peruvian Amazon, AIDESEP, has complained that the signature of one of its top leaders had been forged on a document recently issued by the Land Commission of the Congress. This Commission is responsible precisely to carry forward a standard agreed with the social sector of the Peruvian population (Bill No. 4141/2009/PE) just when the Government refuses to approve the Framework Act prior consultation. That is, if confidence was at a critical point, already, you do not see that the relations between the Government and the Indian national AIDESEP, enter into an impasse at least in a short time.
The bottom line is that indigenous organizations do not consider this process a prior consultation, as the Land Commission says the document of yore, and as has come to immediately deny Saul Puerta Peña, who has left open the possibility of prosecuting Aníbal Huerta, president of the commission, and advisors involved in the act of bad faith, but rather from previous meetings of informative nature are intended to pave the way for this to happen. Read more about how Peru forged indigenous signatures concerning the Forestry and Wildlife Law here....
Australia: FMG Tries To Strong-Arm Traditional Yindjibarndi Community Into Signing An Agreement
An agreement which allows Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) to do anything, anytime, anywhere it wants, on the traditional country of the Yindjibarndi People - but which prohibits the Yindjibarndi from ever claiming compensation, if FMG's future activities prevent them exercising their legally determined land rights - was the subject of an extraordinary meeting held in Roebourne on 16 March 2010.
Michael Woodley, CEO of Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation (YAC), the corporate Trustee which holds previously determined land rights for the Yindjibarndi People, described the meeting as a "sham, organised and paid for by FMG". Mr Woodley said FMG orchestrated the meeting "to try to force Yindjibarndi to sign the agreement".
Mr Woodley said the agreement would "give the go ahead to the development of FMG's so-called 'Solomon Hub Project' - on vacant Crown land where the Yindjibarndi People are seeking to have their traditional right of exclusive possession legally recognised by the Federal Court". He said FMG negotiated the terms of the agreement last year, with a small group of Yindjibarndi members, who were "enticed by FMG's offers of personal gain to break away from the previously united Yindjibarndi community [comprising more than 1200 members], and to establish the "Wirlu-Murra Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation".1
The meeting on 16 March was attended by a large number of "unknown" Aboriginal people, who were "bussed in from Carnarvon and elsewhere" and who had "never before attended Yindjibarndi meetings", Mr Woodley said. He was unable to say whether many of those who did attend "were even Yindjibarndi" - since "no procedure was put in place by FMG to determine whether or not they were Yindjibarndi". Read more about how FMG tried to strong-arm the Yindjibarndi Aboriginal community in Western Australia here....
Belize: Message From The Maya Leaders Alliance And The Toledo Alcaldes Association To The Nation Of Belize
"Whatever might be is simply not there: only murmurs, ripples, in the dark, in the night." This is how the beginning of creation is described by the sacred book of my grandparents, the Popul Hu. But more importantly, it tells us that out of this the creators were able to create the world by joining their minds, thoughts and spirits teaching us that the power to create and transform the world lies in coming together in all our diversity and engaging in collective action. My fellow brothers and sisters, today, Belize confronts tremendous challenges, "whatever might be is simply not there: only murmurs, ripples, in the dark, in the night"; our homes and families in Corozal, Orange Walk, Belize, Cayo, Stann Creek and Toledo Districts are enduring challenging times. It is clear that our country needs to be transformed and that it requires the creative power of all Belizeans united in their diversity. We as Maya people are committed to this transformation.
On September 21st, 1981 Belize celebrated the end of tyranny, slavery and rejoiced for freedom, equality, justice and independence. We joined our minds, thoughts and spirit and affirmed that our Belize shall be grounded on principles which acknowledge the supremacy of God, the dignity of every human person, faith in human rights and fundamental freedoms, the position of the family in a society of free men and free institutions, the dignity of the human person and the equal and inalienable rights with which all members of the human family are endowed by their Creator. This is the promise that our nation made to all Belizeans through the Belize Constitution and a promise we are responsible to deliver for our children and their children's children. Only then can we claim an Independent Belize! Read more of the message from the Maya Leaders Alliance and the Toledo Alcaldes Association here....
Malaysia: Precedent-Setting Land Deal In Palm Oil Expansion Zone In Borneo
A new oil palm plantation being developed in Indonesian Borneo (West Kalimantan) has relinquished community lands to which it had gained a government permit. The company PT Agro Wiratama, a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and subsidiary of the giant Musim Mas group, agreed to relinquish more than 1,000 hectares of its 9,000 hectare concession back to the community, following interventions by community representatives and NGOs.
In the context of a pattern of development whereby millions of hectares of large-scale oil palm plantations have been established without consent on indigenous peoples' land, this is a breakthrough, said Marcus Colchester, Director of the international human rights group, Forest Peoples Programme. We spotted PT Agro Wiratama's plans to open up this area on the RSPO website and were able to alert our partners in Borneo.
RSPO's 'New Plantings Procedure' requires member companies to publicly announce plans to expand their operations. The aim of the new procedure is to ensure that the social and environmental requirements of RSPO are taken into account before new operations get going. In this case, the local Indonesian NGO Gemawan was able to alert the local people to what was being proposed, open up discussions with the local government, the company and the RSPO and then assist the community in its negotiations.
We are very pleased that our land is secure now, because we've now got a chance to make choices about our lives. We now ask all the other parties involved in this decision to respect our choice, said Kamarudin, one of the community leaders of the Kuayan community. Read more about the land deal in the palm oil expansion zone of Borneo here....

Have a great day!
- 0Jan 30, '12 by ashleychillI had an interview a couple weeks ago and I'm anxious to receive the letter. I moved from my parents place up to Meadville with my boyfriend so I wont know until I go home next if I have even recieved anything. I wonder how many were interviewed, does anyone know?
- 0Jan 30, '12 by ashleychillOk I will let you know! Hope I do make it!
- 0Feb 3, '12 by wishingNhopingHi there! I received a letter stating that I am accepted to the nursing innovative program last week! Do you know how difficult the nursing program is and if there is any HESI or ATI testing within the school year? Do you guys know the clinical hours and if clinical sites are near campus?


text: Evening All, Last week I sent around an email about possible future tutorials. Now I'm back from Belgium, we figured it'd been long enough to share the results. Because of the way I did it (seemingly checkboxes like that kind of suck), it's simpler to provide a more condensed version. So, these are ones you were interested in: 1. Perl 2. PHP 3. HTML5/CSS3 4. iOS/Android/etc. 5. Version Control 6. Writing Good Code/Writing Bad Code 7. Software Design/Theory 8. Building Simple Database Driven Websites 9. Maths for Game Development 10. Procedural Content Generation 11. Modding Minecraft 12. 3D Modelling for Games 13. Building Stuff with the Arduino 14. Making 3D Models for Printing 15. Building Secure Websites 16. Exploit Development 17. Encryption And from suggestions: R, the statistics language (because it'd be good for you to actually understand stats (if not for your post-employment ego, anyway.)) To calculate these, I've taken half of the maybe responses and added them to the "Oh, yeah!". I figured if enough people we sort of interested, it wouldn't be a waste of time. I have only done this on the ones which weren't tilted in a specific direction, though. So. If you're interested in giving a talk, reply to this email and state what you're interested in. We'll then work it all out. We'd especially be interested in those who *haven't* given a talk before, because that's always good. --- Nick

Baby Girls Named Jeopardy in 1983
|April 19, 2011
This one confused me for a while:
- 1984: unlisted
- 1983: 6 baby girls name Jeopardy [debut]
- 1982: unlisted
Jeopardy was a one-hit wonder on the SSA's baby name list in 1983.
My first (and only) guess was the popular quiz show Jeopardy, but the show began airing in the mid-1960s, so that probably wasn't it.
Then, a week or two ago, I heard what I think is the answer on an '80s radio station. It was a tune called "Jeopardy" by The Greg Kihn Band.
"Jeopardy" was apparently one of the top songs in the nation in early 1983. I'd never have guessed it by the bizarre music video.One-hit wonder baby names | 1920s: Dardenella, Derelys | 1930s: Dixianna, Torchy | 1940s: Donivee, Drene | 1950s: Frosty, Eisenhower, Judalon, Bimbo, Gogi, Theonita, Kookie | 1960s: Bonanza, Chubbie, Apasra, Ronisue, Twiggy | 1970s: Corelle, Sirica, Comaneci, Ibe, Jitu, Kairaba, Kizi, Kuntakinte, Lavare, Reannan, Wilona, Travolta | 1980s: Kimario, Lencola, Nykeba, Fame, Nahema, Chachi, Senchal, Jeopardy, Tyecha, Mergeron, Calizza, Lutece, Marlesa, Tereva, Matlock, Christop | 1990s: Keemo, Ziyadah, Corvina, Picabo | 2000s: Iuma, Tsitsiki, Qorianka, Sensi, Euphoria

I remember that song well – how bizarre!
I would have thought the TV show too, but the rebooted Alex Trebek version debuted in 1984.
I can't link to the video here, but I'm guessing it's the "our love's in Jeopardy, baby" song, which I can hear in my head only as the Weird Al version "I lost on Jeopardy, baby".
OMG!! This is so weird that I found this!! My name is Jepardy, no "o"!! Ahhhh! CRAZY!!

Myriad Genetics Launches MyRisk(TM) Hereditary Cancer Panel
SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:MYGN) announced today that it has launched myRisk Hereditary Cancer, a new multi-gene diagnostic test that will provide increased sensitivity by analyzing 25 genes associated with eight major cancers including: breast, colorectal, ovarian, endometrial, pancreatic, prostate, gastric and melanoma.
"We are excited to launch myRisk Hereditary Cancer, which is a significant scientific advancement in hereditary cancer testing for a range of clinically-actionable cancers," said Mark Capone, president of Myriad Genetics Laboratories. "myRisk Hereditary Cancer will improve the quality of patient care by empowering healthcare providers with knowledge about their patients' risk of hereditary cancer and the appropriate medical management options available based on that risk."
myRisk Hereditary Cancer is being launched in a phased approach beginning with an early-access, clinical-experience program to a limited number of medical and scientific thought leaders followed by an expanded access program later in the year. The Company will present extensive clinical validity data for myRisk Hereditary Cancer at The Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Colorectal Cancer (CGA) annual meeting in October and the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in December.The new myRisk Hereditary Cancer test represents the next generation of hereditary cancer testing and will provide healthcare providers with clear and actionable information to improve patient care, regardless of whether the patient receives a positive or negative test result. Each test report will include a genetic test result, a clinical risk and healthcare management tool based on professional society guidelines. "Myriad is taking a stepwise, careful approach to responsibly gather clinical experience with the myRisk Hereditary Cancer test before fully launching this potentially revolutionary new diagnostic test for hereditary cancer," said Lee S. Schwartzberg, M.D., chief, Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. "Myriad's unparalleled experience bolstered by extensive clinical research provides the reassurance healthcare providers require to utilize new methods of hereditary cancer testing. Also, the breadth of Myriad's new test report should empower medical professionals with the right information to facilitate better education and counselling for their patients."

Security and Fire Alarm Registration & Information
False alarms from home security systems have become a growing problem in Coral Springs, costing the City more than a half-million dollars in service time last year alone. A new false alarm policy has been implemented.
Among the provisions of the new policy, which goes into effect January 1, 2000, are increased fines and an optional alarm school for repeat offenders. The fines can go as high as $200 per false alarm after fifth incident within one year.
To reduce the possibility of false alarms, learn how to correctly operate and maintain your home security system.
False Alarms take police and firefighters away from real emergencies.
False Alarms can lead neighbors to ignore your alarm when it goes off.
False Alarms make your security system less reliable and credible.
False Alarms can cost you money! The City of Coral Springs assesses fines for excessive false alarms

LAUREL, Feb 09, 2012 -- USDA, Rural Development State Director Howard Henderson and U.S. Senators announce 6 recipients in New Jersey have been selected to receive over $431,000 in business development assistance through the Value-Added Producer Grant (VAPG) program. Among the 298 recipients chosen in the 44 states and Puerto Rico are listed below.

The VAPG program is designed to assist eligible producers develop strategies to create marketing opportunities and technical assistance for their agriculture products. These grants help independent producers, farmer and rancher cooperatives and agricultural producer groups produce new products and secure new markets. "These projects help support President Obama's goal to strengthen rural economies and create jobs for agricultural producers, businesses and families in several rural communities throughout New Jersey," said Howard Henderson.
"These funds will help strengthen our rural New Jersey communities by helping agricultural producers grow and prosper," said Senator Menendez. "Local agricultural small businesses and families will have access to the financial resources, technical assistance and markets they need to expand, grow, and promote local economic growth. This is particularly important for the Garden State where agriculture plays a key role in our economy."
"Small businesses make up the engine that keeps New Jersey's economy moving," said Senator Lautenberg, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which funds the Department of Agriculture. "These grants will help small agricultural businesses throughout our state increase their sales and create jobs. I will continue to fight for federal funding that expands job opportunities, supports small businesses, and strengthens our state's economy."

In response to media inquiries regarding propofol reportedly found at the scene of Michael Jackson's death and now being discussed at Dr. Conrad Murray's trial, the American Society of Anesthesiologists releases the following statement:
"The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), which is made up of physicians providing professional anesthesia care, does not know the specific circumstances surrounding Michael Jackson's death. However, ASA unequivocally maintains that Diprivan, or its generic name Propofol, is a drug meant only for use in a medical setting by professionals trained in the provision of general anesthesia. Though the drug is often used for procedures requiring sedation, patients can have extremely variable responses to the drug and some patients can become completely anesthetized, including losing the ability to breathe. Diprivan should never be used outside of a controlled and monitored medical setting. Use of the drug should be directly supervised by a physician trained in anesthesia and qualified to provide physiologic rescue should too much drug be given."
About Anesthesiologists
Anesthesiologists are physicians who make modern medicine possible. Every day, their practice enables life-saving care across a broad range of specialties when patients need it most. Anesthesiologists are responsible for the total care of the patient prior to, during and after surgery by keeping patients stable and safe through the administration of anesthesia, the monitoring of vital signs and body functions, and intervention during an emergency. Anesthesiologists have developed leading medical advances that have allowed modern medicine to become what it is today. Without advances in anesthesia many surgical procedures, such as transplants, cardiac surgery and brain surgery, would not be as advanced as they are currently.
Founded in 1905, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is an educational, research and scientific society with more than 52,000 members organized to raise and maintain the standards of the medical practice of anesthesiology. ASA is committed to ensuring physician anesthesiologists evaluate and supervise the medical care of patients before, during and after surgery to provide the highest quality and safest care every patient deserves.
For more information on the field of anesthesiology, visit the American Society of Anesthesiologists online at asahq.org .
