The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

So this is a picture of my cactus Ricky. When I first bought it and when it was happy and healthy, but over time it has deteriorated in size and its flowers have retracted. I desperately need it to be identified! |

Looks like a Mammillaria carmenae to me. Nice plant! |

Oh my goodness thank you so much for helping me out! I think Ricky is dying and I need to find out whether his current state is normal or not, because he looks nothing like what he used to :( |

The soil he is in is the wrong soil. It is Way too water retentive. It needs rocks, grit and perlite added to it. |

Soccer coaching tip
The younger or more inexperienced your players are, the larger the playing area should be. This gives the players more time to react to the demands of the game and conceals passing errors.
Older players, or more experienced players, should play the games in a smaller area. These players have to react more rapidly to what's going on around them and be more accurate with their passes.
Game 1
Have four players pass the ball to each other in a 20 yards by 20 yards grid. As soon as the ball is passed, every player except the receiver must move to a different space. This is hard (and tiring) so I suggest you only play the game for a few minutes.
The constant movement, combined with short stoppages as the receiver controls the ball, takes some time to get used to. So be patient. It helps if you tell the receiver to take two or three touches before passing to the next player.
Progression: Add a defender. This always seems to stop the players who don't have the ball from moving. Encourage these players to make runs behind the defender.
Game 2
Play netball in a 30 yards by 40 yards playing area. Players score by throwing the ball to a team mate who is waiting on the end line. Ensure the ball carrier does not run with the ball and the ball is released within four seconds. No waiting!
Progression: Put the ball on the ground. Now the players have to pass to the player on the end line. If they control it, the passer joins the player on the end line.
This results in a series of numbers-up situations and forces movement off the ball. The team that gets all players on the end line is the winner.
Game 3
This game is called Moving Triangles. Divide your players into groups of three with one ball per group.
Player A passes to player B and runs through the gap between the other two players - players B and C. Player B passes to player C and runs through the gap between players A and C. And so on. It sounds complicated, but it's easier to play than describe!
Progression: Limit to one, two or three touches. Have all the groups line up at one end of the field and see who can get to the other end first by passing and moving in triangles. The clever ones will work out that long passes are best! Make sure all the groups maintain the correct pass and move pattern.

Case Study: Lee Brennan on Healthcare Innovation
It seems like the simplest of ideas—improve the hospital experience for patients (and by extension their caregivers and loved ones) and create a constellation of favorable circumstances that can promote healing and reduce the stress and anxiety levels of all comers. As a brief look at modern medicine reveals, the reality has been very different. In his work at Cuingham Group's healthcare studio, principal Lee Brennan has been thinking long and hard about just how to improve those experiences and, by extension, potentially improve outcomes.
A case in point is Brennan and his team's recent work on The Doug + Nancy Barnhart Cancer Center at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center in San Diego, where, Brennan says, "every measure was taken to improve the patient experience from the moment of arrival." To do this, Brennan and his team created a patient advisory group to provide feedback on what they liked—and disliked—about the existing facility. As they designed, they incorporated that feedback. The result is a state-of-the-art facility that keeps the human factor in sight.

Play oggs outside of winamp and ut?
12th Aug 2003, 09:46 AM
any way i can play oggs outside of winamp and ut?
12th Aug 2003, 11:05 AM
Winamp strikes me as the most convenient choice though if you have it installed already...
12th Aug 2003, 03:26 PM
no, i uninstalled it- i really dont like it.
12th Aug 2003, 07:39 PM
I've never tried Winamp 3 since I heard it's a monster---looking great and everything, but at the expense of using about ten times as many processor resources as Winamp 2 did.
So I'm still happily stuck with Winamp 2.7. It does everything I expect from an audio player (it plays audio) and does it nicely and unobtrusively even in background if it need be, using less than one percent of processor resources in average rather than twenty or thirty, and supports any audio format I ever wanted to play (including Ogg Vorbis).
There must be a reason Winamp 2 is still being developed and available for download even though Winamp 3 has been out for ages...
12th Aug 2003, 10:07 PM
or you could always open it in soundforge or somethin and save it as another audio type...
just another option...
12th Aug 2003, 10:15 PM
You could try doing a search for .ogg plugins for windows media player(Yuck!).
12th Aug 2003, 11:42 PM
there isnt a windows codec for it like other audio and video formats?
13th Aug 2003, 12:41 AM
it's a relatively uncommon filetype for things like this so it'll probably be hard(er) to find codecs/plugins for it...
13th Aug 2003, 03:44 AM
I'm using Winamp 2.9 which already comes with an OGG plug-in and also OggDS (http://tobias.everwicked.com/oggds.htm) for Windows Media Player because I only use Winamp for playlists. (The actual sound and music files are still opened in WMP 6.4 when I doubleclick them in Exporer.)
13th Aug 2003, 04:37 AM
You may want to have a look at this :
I cant say how good it is but worth a try. (It does have a good tucows rating so cant be all bad)
I personally use Winamp right now but I do take your point about its downfall.
OGG seems to be gaining in popularity, as earlier this year one of the personal MP3 player models started coming with an OGG player upgrade. I hope this trend continues as the quality/size ratio is better than MP3s.
13th Aug 2003, 05:21 AM
...and, most importantly, MP3 is proprietary (and thus requires license fees on part of those implementing it) while Ogg Vorbis is not. Somewhat similar as for GIF versus PNG.
13th Aug 2003, 05:37 AM
Yep, good point Mychaeel...
I just had a quick play with DDB Player. After 5 minutes of using it here are my thoughts:
Good Points:
1. Less Resource greedy than Winamp (currently running 2.80)
2. MP3s of lower quality sound much better than on Winamp (this could be because my machine is always running some processor intensive stuff and may be hindering Winamp)
Bad Points:
1. No PreAmp settings as in Winamp (always like a good tweak)
2. It is shareware so you will get annoying pop up every five songs unless you register ($12.95)
3. Not as pleasing to the eye (not to mine at least)
I am sure there are other plus/minus points but there is a quick heads up
13th Aug 2003, 05:53 AM
1. Less Resource greedy than Winamp (currently running 2.80)
Hmm. My Winamp 2.7 uses less than one percent of processor ressources on my Athlon XP 2000+ (currently clocked at 1250 MHz). I don't see how it could get any "less greedy" than that...
2. MP3s of lower quality sound much better than on Winamp (this could be because my machine is always running some processor intensive stuff and may be hindering Winamp)
Maybe Media Player just runs its decoder thread on a higher priority than Winamp does its by default. (You can change that in the decoder's and the output plugin's setup in Winamp, by the way.)
Back when I registered Winamp it was still shareware, by the way... :)
13th Aug 2003, 06:15 AM
Yep I already had my Winamp settings changed.
When I am working (like I should be right now :P), I run on a 700MHz laptop so anything mildy intensive does make a difference. And it does seem to with Winamp 2.80
But the bottom line is to try everything out there and see which one suits you the best I guess.
BTW just to clarify I was referring to DBB player rather than media player (which is not one of my favourites it has to be said) Just trying it out at the moment to see if it is worth using it or not.
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Alfred Hitchcock :)
13th Aug 2003, 01:19 PM
Hmm. My Winamp 2.7 uses less than one percent of processor ressources on my Athlon XP 2000+ (currently clocked at 1250 MHz). I don't see how it could get any "less greedy" than that...
I didn't know you were an underclocker Mych. ;)
13th Aug 2003, 01:27 PM
My experence with media player, especially version 9, is that it seems to be a bit of a hog when it comes to cpu cycles. It also seems sensitive to other things running along with it. Just opening the task manager on windows 2000 made it hiccup, and according to the task manager the media player was only using a max of 7% of my processor. Your best bet is to turn off the visualizations as they are the real resource hog.
13th Aug 2003, 01:31 PM
I didn't know you were an underclocker Mych. ;)
Yep, I am. Hardcore. You should see my CPU heating system. :p
Seriously though... those are the settings I bought the board and the processor with, and I couldn't be bothered yet to change it since I currently don't have the impression that I could actually benefit from the extra speed; and by rights I shouldn't even be able to run stable with this speed given my current power supply and processor fan (which are dictated by my wish to have a silent computer), but it works and I don't want to push the envelope as long as I'm content with the system's overall speed.
I actually have the distinct impression the RAM upgrade I got with the board had far more positive impact on my system's performance than the processor upgrade...

Best known as former background singers for Kelly Clarkson, Jill and Kate have also distinguished themselves as a singer/songwriter duo of real craft and charm.
The pair is driven by their own sensitive, well-rendered tunes and their sterling vocal harmonies. Jill and Kate are based in Nashville, TN.
A personal note from j&k:
Hi! Thanks for stopping by our website! We are Jill and Kate..or collectively JillandKate…and sometimes people get tongue-tied and call us "KillandJate" Anyway…thanks for stopping by. We met in college at a music program on Martha's Vineyard…one of our homework assignments was to co-write a song with a classmate. So, in the interest of getting homework done, we decided to write a song together. From that point on we realized that our voices blended well (people always think we're sisters), we liked writing together and loved harmonizing with each other so we formed "Jill and Kate."
Since that point, so much has happened. We've driven ourselves across the country in a silver mini-van playing shows in people's living rooms and noisy bars. We've had the great pleasure of traveling the globe supporting Kelly Clarkson singing back-up for her on her live tours.
We make music because it's therapeutic for us to get out our feelings and write about our lives and the experiences that we face. The failure, the excitement, the heartache, the love that makes your stomach sink, the disappointment…we are all in this together…so we hope you can find something in our music that you can relate to…To know that someone else has been there too.
We hope you'll join us on this crazy ride…whether it's seeing you at a show, engaging in conversation on our Blog/Facebook/Twitter or letting us follow your picture trail on Instagram.
Much love,
Things You Should Know About Jill:
-New England native
-Favorite color is orange
-Obsessed with word games (especially Boggle)
-Coffee lover
-Lover of palindromes
Things You Should Know About Kate:
-Went to school on 3 different continents
-Favorite color is pink
-Laughs at her own jokes
-Wine lover
-Obsessive list maker

In 2010 I wrote my first short story. It was a learning experience and I really did it as a challenge to myself to see if I could do it. Everyone liked it. So, I'm thinking that I'll update it, right? I started revamping it and right in the middle of that, I got the idea for this story. I couldn't believe it, but I was happy. The ideas for this story were coming fast and I had to get it down or lose it. Usually that's what happens with me. If I have any kind of break, say leave it over night, I seem to lose something. It isn't the same. Basically, I stayed up late into the early morning finishing it, then the next day I made changes where they were needed and this is the result. I hope you guys enjoy it!
She couldn't sleep. With a sigh, she gave up even trying. Beside her, her husband Brett snored softly. He was tired and it showed on his face. He worked so hard, but he wouldn't be Brett if he didn't. There wasn't a lazy bone in her Scotsman's body. Their construction business had finally taken off a few years ago. The thing about the man was he didn't know how to delegate, even when he had properly trained personnel around him. Placing a soft kiss on his reddish blond head, she got out of bed as quietly as she could so as not to wake him.
Tonight she'd celebrated her thirty fourth birthday. The party had been so much fun. It had really been a surprise. Brett was notorious for pulling surprises on her. She laughed softly. He was good at it too and he'd really been able to pull the whole thing off without alerting her about any of it. Even the kids had managed to keep it quiet. Looking down at her hand, the beautiful marquis diamond winked back at her.
When they'd first married, they'd exchanged wedding bands. It was all he could afford. He'd always wanted to give her a diamond, no matter how she said she loved her band. Tonight she'd gotten it. It was exquisite. Everyone at the party thought so too. Getting up, she walked over to the window and looked out into the darkness that was broken only by the big yellow moon illuminating the beach. It was so beautiful.
It wasn't very late, so she decided to take a little stroll. She wouldn't go far. Maybe it would help her to sleep. She really didn't know why she was so restless. The kids had kept her running all day. As soon as she solved something for one, the other had a problem. They had two kids. A boy named Cameron, whom they called "Cam" was seven going on sixteen and a girl named Bethany who was ten, but who thought she knew everything because she was the oldest. Lord, she didn't know what she was going to do with them. She shook her head smiling. Putting on her robe and securing the belt, she slipped her feet into her flip flops, opened the bedroom door and closed it soundlessly. She walked downstairs, disengaged the alarm system on the wall, opened the front door, closed it and re-engaged it.
As she started walking, a nice little breeze started to blow. It was Summer and the heat in Texas could be oppressive, but tonight it was nice and cool near the water. They'd decided to come down to the house on Galveston Beach for part of the Summer. The kids were having a great time and she was as well. Her husband was only down here for the weekend. He had to get back for Monday. A very important project was underway and needed his attention. She wished he'd take at least a week off. He needed it. Right, then she decided that she and the kids were going to have to gang up on him if he didn't come around soon. A little more "me time" was definitely needed for him.
With her mind on nothing in particular, she began walking. All of a sudden she stopped and looked behind her. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. Looking around she didn't see anyone. Shaking off the odd feeling, she started walking again. She hadn't gone very far when she stopped and looked around again. There was someone standing off in the distance. He just stood there and didn't move.
Fear took a hold of her. Her hazel eyes grew big in her beautiful brown skinned face. Dear God! Brett and the kids were in the house. She had to get back to them. What if this man intended to rob them … or worse? She wondered if he'd saw her? Backing up, she kept her eyes on him as best she could. Her heart was beating so fast, it seemed like it was going to fly right out of her chest. As she was moving, she noticed that he was as well. In fact, the closer she got to the house, the closer he seemed to get to her. She was almost up the steps when a voice called her name.
"Claire." She was shaking, completely rooted to the spot where she stood, but something bade her to turn around. His face was now in the light and she could see him clearly. She gasped and promptly fainted.
Lifting her easily the man opened her door without entering the alarm code. Taking her to the couch, he gently lay her down and brushed the debris from her cheek. For a moment he was back in time when they were newly engaged. They were so happy. Quickly quelling those memories, he headed into the bathroom, wet a towel and returned. Sitting down next to her, he wiped her face and chafed her hands trying to bring her around.
Slowly, Claire's eyes opened. Looking around she realized she was inside her house. How? Then she slowly looked up at the man whose face was in shadow. When she'd saw him outside, she realized who he looked like. That's why she'd fainted. He must be a fake. He couldn't be real. Alec was … he was … he was … dead. She still found it hard to say or even think. Never again would she see him this side of Heaven. Tears streamed down her face and she swiped them away angrily. Whoever he was, this wasn't funny.
"How did you get in my house?" Her bravery and her anger took center stage then. She forgot all about being frightened. Quickly getting up from the couch, she stood behind it giving herself some protection from him. He was sitting in one of the chairs across from it. Eyeing the stairs, she was going to try and get to Brett before he could stop her.
"You'll never make it Claire. I can be there before you've even blinked your eyes." He said this without boasting as if it was an ordinary thing he did all the time. Standing up, he came further into the light. Claire gasped and backed up, almost turning over one of the lamps. She shook her head as if to clear it. Her facial muscles drew into a frown of disbelief.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?"
"I'm Alec. Your Alec. Your first love. You know who I am if you'd just let your mind believe what your eyes see."
At this declaration she became angry. "Don't you dare say such a thing. Don't you speak of him. You didn't know him."
"I realize I've scared you and I didn't mean to, but it's way past time for you to let me go. You now love another. We had our time together. Our destinies were different. Part of you still loves me, but you can't really get on with your life like you should unless you put the memory of me where it should be. In the past." She stared at him in utter shock.
"Tonight you celebrated your thirty fourth birthday. Remember the last one we had together was before the accident. It was your twenty first. The one when we became engaged. We were just kids really. Legal by the State of Texas, but really still just kids. That night our lives were changed forever. I died that night. It was instant. I didn't feel any pain. You were hurt badly. The scar on your right arm is a reminder of that.
"Alec?" Oh, dear God in Heaven it couldn't be. He nodded. "Al-Al-Alec is … is … dead." It was true. He was killed by a drunk driver on what was supposed to have been one of the happiest nights of their lives. Instead it became nothing but a blur of pain. And although, she'd gotten on with her life, she could never let him go completely. She could never think of him with any happy thoughts, although there were many. He was such a good person and didn't deserve to lose his life like that. No one did. He was so full of life and energy and love. He should have still been here and able to enjoy all of that … with her.
"I'm trapped here Claire. I've watched you fall in love, get married and have children. It doesn't hurt as much as it used to. You see, although I'm still twenty five years old, being in this suspended state between one world and the next has taught me a lot. I don't belong here anymore and I've no right to any feelings toward you either.
"In a small place in your heart you carry regret that I didn't get to live my life like you have. You're not to blame. It wasn't meant to be. We can't change our destinies. You need to let me go my sweet Claire. That's why I'm here."
"Oh, Alec." Every time she thought of him, it was always the memory of that fateful night. No matter how she tried, she couldn't get it out of her head. When they'd got both of them out of the wreckage, Alec was gone and she was still alive. The guilt of still being alive was overwhelming and the grief wouldn't leave her. At the time it seemed her grieving was the only thing that kept her sane. Inside that grief, she was protected from dealing with life. In the end, she'd had to seek professional help. Even after all of that, a small part of her still held onto him … just couldn't let go. The therapy did help some and she was able to go back to college.
That's where she met Brett through a mutual friend. He was attracted to her from the first, but she was still in love with Alec. There was nothing but friendship on her part. Brett, however had other ideas and never gave up. He slowly drew her out of her self imposed torture and even though she grew to love him and was now in love with him, the guilt she felt over Alec never really left her.
It had been two years since Alec's death when Brett had proposed and she accepted. Brett had graduated two years before her and started his own construction business. At the time, when they married, she was still in school and working part time in an office. The plan had been for Claire to work in the business with him, but it was still new and contracts weren't coming in quite as anticipated.
Later on she was hired on full time, which turned out to be a blessing because she soon learned she was pregnant with Bethany. Claire thought she'd lose her job because of the terrible morning sickness that lasted all day in the beginning, but it eventually abated and she was able to work up until a week before delivering. It took five years to grow the construction business and gain the reputation that it now enjoyed. Brett had it going in a good direction, even though the economy was still recovering. Three years after Bethany, Cam arrived. Now married twelve years, they were very happy and life was good.
"Life is only going to get better for you and your family Claire." Alec interrupted her thoughts. "There's a new person who'll be arriving in nine months time." Claire's gaze shot to his.
"How do you know about that? I just found out yesterday myself and I'm going to surprise Brett and the kids with the news this morning." Reflexively she put her hand to her still flat stomach.
"You have a wonderful husband and children and now God is going to bless you with another one. I don't belong in your heart and head anymore. Let me go. I need my rest and peace and only by your release can I gain it.
"Oh, Alec, please don't ask me to do that. I can't. You're a part of me. I don't want to lose you." He smiled.
"You'll never lose me. You just need to treat me as a part of your past and not your everyday life. You should cherish those memories, but only pull them out ever so often. No matter how you'd like to change the past, it can't be done." Pulling her into his arms, he gave her a big hug. She looked up into his handsome face and into his beautiful eyes. Touching a kiss from her lips, she pressed it gently against his brown cheek lovingly.
"I'll miss you." At her touch he started fading away. He smiled at her and mouthed the words "thank you." Before she knew it, he was gone. Looking around she didn't see him anywhere, but noticed something like a sheet of paper floating to the carpeted floor before her.
It read "You're going to love Heaven Claire. It's more beautiful than anything you've ever imagined. Love Alec."
Smiling, Claire, turned off the lights, reactivated the alarm and headed upstairs. Pulling off her robe and flip flops, she got into bed. Brett gravitated toward her and spooned against her back in his sleep. Snuggling down and getting comfortable, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. It had been one of the best birthday's ever.
"I want cereal Mama." This from Bethany sounding so grown up. Her riotous red curls were everywhere over her head. Claire reached into one of the kitchen drawers where she kept miscellaneous things and brought out a scrunchie.
"Come here baby." Bethany came and sat obediently in her mother's lap as she gathered her hair into some semblance of order. "There, that's better."
"Morning Daddy," She ran and hugged her father as he entered the kitchen. Usually when they came to the beach house, they ate in the cozy kitchen at the small table where they all were now.
"Morning carrot top." Brett Kennedy kissed his daughter and his wife and high fived his son Cam who was sitting at the table eating pancakes and bacon. According to him, he was too big for a kiss, even though his mother kissed him anyway.
"Those smell good. I could eat about five of them along with a side of bacon." Claire smiled, got up, washed her hands and started making more pancakes and bacon for him and her. Bethany had gotten her own cereal and had taken a seat next to her brother. After fixing their plates, she carried them to the table and sat down. She was surprised that there hadn't been any morning sickness yet. So far none, but she was starving.
The kids both began talking at once. Brett had grabbed the paper and was reading the sports section.
"How would you guys feel about a little sister or brother around February? They were talking non-stop when all of a sudden all conversation ceased.
"You're having a baby Mama?" Claire nodded. "Kayla's mom is having one too. I want a sister. We can play dolls."
"It's going to be a boy." Cam said emphatically. "We'll play trucks and climb trees and build things with Daddy." After Cam had made his declaration, he and his sister got into a little back and forth sparing about the new addition.
"Claire, honey. Are you sure?" Claire smiled and confirmed it. Brett got up and came around to her side of the table and hugged her gently. "I'm just so surprised. I mean we've been trying for awhile."
"I know and it's finally happened. We said we wanted four, so number three is on the way. I wonder what color her hair will be?" Claire said offhandedly looking at him.
"Probably dark like Cam's, but it maybe a boy." Claire looked at him and smiled.
"I have a feeling it's a she and she'll have some type of blond hair coloring. Look at you Daddy. Reddish blond hair and a red beard." She tugged on it playfully and laughed.
"Ouch! That's attached." He smiled rubbing his face. "We've got to celebrate." Brett thought for a minute. "I know. I'll take the entire week off. Chris can handle things." Claire and the kids all screamed joyously at the same time. They'd gotten their wish without even asking.
On February 17, 2009, Claire Kennedy delivered an 8 pound 13 ounce baby girl to the joy of her ecstatic family. The fine baby down on her head proclaimed it to be reddish blonde. They named her Caitlin Alexandra in honor and memory of her uncle Alec.

Linking Patients to Primary Care Physicians
Banner Health can now link emergency patients who do not have a family physician with primary care providers throughout the greater Phoenix area.
Under a partnership with My Health Direct, Banner staff can make appointments for these patients with primary care physicians while the patients are still in Banner emergency departments.
This service can help patients avoid making a costly return trip to the emergency room. Emergency patients who do not have primary care physicians often end up back in emergency rooms with problems that could have been prevented by a family physician.
Connecting patients with primary care providers can improve patient care and make care more efficient and less costly.
Banner Hospitals that offer this service:
- Banner Baywood Medical Center
- Banner Boswell Medical Center (coming soon)
- Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center (coming soon)
- Banner Desert Medical Center
- Banner Estrella Medical Center
- Banner Gateway Medical Center
- Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center
- Banner Thunderbird Medical Center (coming soon)
Banner Health anticipates that between 5,000 and 6,000 Banner emergency center patients in 2011 who don't have doctors will be linked to primary care physicians through this service.

Originally from Houston, TX, Chibuzo Aguocha was a multi-sport athlete, earning varity letters in volleyball, basketball and track & field. She was able to realize her dream of being a NCAA D1 collegiate athlete by receiving a full athletic scholarship for volleyball and track & field from Furman University in Greenville, SC. Chibuzo's notable achievements include recording 1,200+ kills, top 5 all time in kills per game, being named first-team all-conference for volleyball, triple jump conference champion, triple jump regional qualifier, current school record holder for both long and triple jump, Strength and Conditioning All-American and was named Furman University's Female Athlete of the Year.
After receiving her BA in Mass Communications, Chibuzo moved to Atlanta, GA for a career in digital marketing and advertising. Her passion for volleyball propelled her to continue playing indoor locally and she quickly was introduced to grass volleyball. She tallied a slew of top finishes in both indoor and grass tournaments along the southeast. Shortly after falling in love with this new doubles format, she made the transition to sand volleyball and has been playing ever since. In 2012, Chibuzo began to pursue her dream of playing professional beach volleyball and played in her first professional tours.
"I love the sport of beach volleyball! I love the challenge it provides both physically and mentally during training and tournament play. To travel across the US, compete against amazing athletes and being a part of the energetic, social atmosphere that the tournaments foster is unlike any sport I know of. It's AMAZING!"
Today, Chibuzo is dedicated to balancing her career as a digital marketing and advertising professional and a professional beach volleyball player.

Canada's Official Languages Commissioner Graham Fraser arrives at a news conference on the release of his report in Ottawa October 16, 2012.
Credits: REUTERS/CHRIS WATTIE
It's a skewed and unequal playing field.
Don't believe us? Give it a try. Phone a federal department in Ottawa and chances are good something's going to get lost in translation with the swivel servant at the other end of the line.
Another bilingual "Graham Fraser" will be very difficult to find.
But it is not just John Baird who is taking nit-picking heat from Canada's language czar for supposedly violating his so-called obligations under federal language legislation.
International Co-operation Minister Julian Fantino is also getting grief from Commissar Fraser for directing bureaucrats to send him English-only versions of important documentation they want him to review.
This, to us, makes perfect sense, despite Fantino's denial of issuing such a directive.
Put it this way. With his inadequate grasp of the French language, why in hell would Fantino want to waste both time and paper by having a document in hand that he cannot properly read let alone properly edit?
To appease Graham Fraser? To acquiesce to the small-minded language politics within the Ottawa bubble?
Fraser is obviously on another one of his loose-cannon escapades, claiming the fact Baird also has a set of bilingual business cards does not excuse him for having a set of English-only ones.
Drive an hour west from the nation's capital and Fraser would be hard pressed to find anyone who gives a damn whether Baird has business cards in French, English or Cantonese.
Ditto for Fantino asking for documents presented to him in a language that he can actually read.
Drive further west and Graham Fraser becomes a non-entity trying to make a big deal of a non-issue.
What the Ottawa bubble does not lack, however, are anal retentives when it comes to the French language.
But, with this issue over business cards being so trivial to the vast majority of Canadians, Graham Fraser's obsession with it has now reached the point of annoyance.
In any language.

Too much sugar in your diet might not only cause disease and health problems, but it literally could be deadly, according to a new study from JAMA Internal Medicine.
Researchers said it doesn't take that much extra sugar to substantially raise the risk to your heart. The study focused on the association of added sugar intake with cardiovascular disease mortality.
Sugar is hidden in many processed foods and most Americans eat more than the safest amount. Drinking two 12 ounce cans of soda substantially raises the risk of heart problems for people who normally eat 2,000 calories a day.
The link between sugar and heart problems doesn't apply just to the overweight. It was also found in people who register at normal weights.
The safest amount of sugar to eat is less than 10 percent of your daily calories.

Got my sweetcrisps (In CA!!) from Berries Plus about 2 weeks ago. I ordered 2 in the 14" cone and 1 in a gallon pot. The ones in the 14" cone, (tiny litlle cone) were about 4 feet tall. I didn't prune because the only leaves were at the very top. They look very healthy. I am thinking to cut it back some when it goes dormant since the root ball is so small. ?? The one with the bigger root ball is more of a small bush structure, only 2+ft. It came dormant(strange since it came from Florida). They must refrigerate them. I do need to prune the smaller/taller ones right?? |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Peanut - pending!
Facts about Peanut - pending
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Peanut - pending's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Peanut is just a little girl - only 5lbs and full grown! She loves to play and play, and would make someone an excellent pet! Won't you consider opening up your home to her?
Other Pets at TNR of Warren
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Peanut - pending, a Warren Calico cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in Warren, or seeking a Calico cat from a breeder in Warren.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Warren already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Warren breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Warren paves the way for another one to be saved.

Who cares if cricket is the new rugby is the new football? We're still riding high from Mr Wilkinson's last-minute winning drop-kick again the Aussies back in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final. As good as Freddie 'Andrew' Flintoff is, he didn't steal victory from under the noses of a 15- man death squad with seconds to the whistle in quite such spectacular style, did he (nope he just kept sticking it to them over 25 days of the best cricket on the planet - Cricket loving C&VG Ed)?
Well, Electronic Arts, distinguished purveyor of the annual sports update, has been busy ferreting away, putting the FIFA and NHL teams hard at work to produce this little effort, possibly the finest looking rugby game we've seen yet. And boy oh boy, what a chock-full little baby it's shaping up to be as well.
The Six Nations, Lion's Tour, Tri Nations, Guinness Premiership and Super 14 competitions will form the backbone of the gameplay, allowing you to take part in just about every major event in the rugby calendar. But EA has been learning a few lessons, so it seems. As well as cramming Rugby 06 with the usual licensed names, players, sponsors and tournaments, the fundamental gameplay mechanic has had an overhaul.
EA is proudly boasting that Rugby 06 'mirrors the real thing', and has introduced all manner of previously unseen and untested fancy-pants rugby tactics. You can now use the off-load pass to get rid of a ball when set upon by impenetrable walls of opponents, just as you can take quick line-outs to keep the momentum of the game going. We remember a few really rubbish rugby games on PSOne that were notorious for stop-starting every few yards for line-outs, but Rugby 06 is about keeping the game alive, and keeping it on its toes. If you like your games slow, tedious and full of hundreds of incomprehensible by-laws, you're probably a statistics-obsessed American and will be wanting some sort of dull NFL game.
Penalty-taking has now been streamlined too in an attempt to keep the game 'momentum driven', and also to encourage plenty of attacking. Another new feature, something EA is calling 'Impact Play', will enable you to cherry-pick from a selection of players and dictate precisely what strengths the squad should have. This, EA hopes, will enable you to consistently keep any rival player on his toes, as you shift from being a forward-driven, attacking squad to a more defensive one, depending on your opponent.
You'll also be able to take all these great new features and tournaments and put them to use in the settings of just about every major ground in the world. 'Fortress' Twickenham, Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, grubby old Lansdowne Road and the imposing 1970s car park of Murrayfield are all in so far, while rugger pundits Ian Robertson and Grant Fox do the honours behind the mic. All we need is a post-match bath simulator for the ladies and a Gameface mode powerful enough to recreate Shane Byrne's horrible teeth, and we reckon this could be the best rugby game seen on Xbox.

Muscle Car
this wiki
Muscle Car is a term used to refer to a variety of high-performance automobiles.
In Battlefield 2, the Muscle Car is based on the first-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
In Battlefield Hardline, it is based on the sixth-generation Ford Mustang.
[show]Battlefield 2Edit
Muscle Car | |
Main weapon | None |
Vehicle speed | Medium |
Vehicle maneuverability | Medium |
Operators | |
The Muscle Car is introduced in the Battlefield 2: Armored Fury expansion. It appears on Midnight Sun on every map size and on the 16-player variant of Operation Road Rage.
The vehicle is similar to an HMMWV, NJ 2046, or GAZ-3937 Vodnik in regards to performance, but it does not have any mounted weapons and has much less armor. The driver or passenger cannot use their weapons either.
Battlefield HardlineEdit
Muscle Car | |
Vehicle passengers | • Driver • 1 passenger (2 total) |
Passenger weapon | Infantry weapons and equipment |
The Muscle Car is a vehicle set to appear in Battlefield Hardline. The passenger is able to either shoot through the windshield or hang out of the side window and fire. It is a direct equivalent to the Police Interceptor.
Battlefield 2Edit
- The car's license plate reads "2142", which is an easter egg referring to Battlefield 2142, which was under development at that time.

The Folger Board Room is used for many purposes, including, as the name suggests, meetings of the Board of Trustees. Although the Folger is a privately endowed, independent institution, Henry Folger requested in his will that it be administered by the trustees of his alma mater, Amherst College. Today the Board also includes members of the Folger and Washington, DC, communities.
The Board Room is decorated in an English Regency style with mahogany tables and high-backed chairs. The walls are hung with important paintings from the Folger collection, and three-dimensional works are on display on some tables. The room also has a large retractable screen for slide and film presentations. The Tea Room adjoins the Board Room, and the two spaces are sometimes used together for special events and scholarly conferences.

Research & Innovation
Aramid Penetration Barrier – Aramid (also known as Kevlar ®) is a short form for aromatic polyamide. A fiber that provides exceptional strength and thereby, if used correctly, can be used to provide protection against penetration in applications such as bullet proof clothing. POC is using Aramid as a soft penetration barrier to protect from sharp objects penetrating the helmets.
Aramid bridge shell helmets
Concept used in Trabec and Fornix helmets – By using the extreme strength provided by the Aramid fiber in bridges in the helmets shell, the structure is reinforced and at the same time, the impact energy deforming the helmet is srpread over a larger surface. Both features are good form a protection standpoint.
MIPS – Developed in cooperation with Royal Institute of Technology and Karolinska Institute, Sweden.
The new MIPS technology mimics one of the safety systems which already exist in the human head. When the head is subjected to an oblique impact, the brain can slide along a membrane on the inner surface of the skull, which reduces the forces transmitted to the brain. This protective feature has, with the MIPS technology, been incorporated into the helmet. In a helmet equipped with MIPS technology, the shell and the liner are separated by a low friction layer. When subjected to an oblique impact, the low friction layer allows a small rotation of the shell relative to the liner. Experimental tests shows a significant reduction of the forces to the brain. Find more information about the tests at www.mipshelmet.com
Accident statistics show that the most common accident occurs in an oblique impact to the head, resulting in a
rotation of the head and brain.
The brain is more sensitive to oblique impacts than radial impacts. However, according to the helmet test regulations, the helmets are dropped vertically onto the impact surface, resulting in a radial force to the head. This is why helmets today have good protective properties for vertical impacts while the protection is not optimized for oblique impacts. MIPS AB has therefore developed MIPS technology to provide substantially increased protection against oblique impacts.
Multi Impact
Many protectors out there are lightweight, but less efficient when it comes to shock absorption. Others are light and can take one blow with proper shock absorption, but a second blow to the protector will transfer a much higher amount of energy and the third hit an even higher amount. The VPD material stays at the same high absorption level. This is an important issue for us since we believe that a protector will take several beatings both during one fall, but also during its complete life time.
The armor is not only designed to give you the highest possible level of protection when riding. We have also done everything we can to make the armor as comfortable to wear as possible. You will feel how the protection anatomically and ergonomically follows the shape of your body. At the same time, the protection is supple, giving you complete freedom of movement. Another major advantage of the POC armor is the highly efficient ventilation technology. To sum up, POC's body protection will give you unsurpassed levels of comfort and safety. Looking at our range we hope that you will find a product for your personal need.
The new VPD 2.0 range offers extreme shock absorption properties, which gives us a completely new alternative in the traditional tradeoff situation between flexibility and real protection. Due to the ability of transition from soft to hard when needed and the extreme shock absorption properties, you no longer have to choose between freedom of movement and proper protection.
VPD 2.0 offers a better flexibility in cold temperatures and has an increased tear resistance. To further improve anti penetration properties, the back protector has a durable thermoplastic polymer sheet integrated for extra protection at the spinal area. The slightly revised material compound is still highly dampening, soft, comfortable and adapts to create an individual fit. When exposed to impact, the material stiffens and has an extreme absorption of energy.
POLYGENE – helmets and armor stay fresh and last longer
Polygiene permanent odor control treatment neutralizes odor by stopping the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi, and makes your helmet and armor stay fresh and odor free. Your gear also lasts longer because bacteria never get the chance to break down the synthetic fibers. Polygiene is safe next to your skin and helps reduce your environmental impact, too. Polygiene odor control treatment is included in all POC products where applicable.
These lenses are made from a proprietary material that is known as "visual armor", which was developed as a solution to military fighter jet and helicopter pilots' demands for a shatterproof canopy that would not distort their vision.
All our NXT lenses are equipped with a color vision boosting filter - HCD (High Chromatic Definition) which has an extreme contrast enhancing effect and takes goggle lens clarity to a new dimension. To help you keep your lens clean and clear you will also find an excellent Oleophobic/Hydrophobic treatment as well as an Anti-scratch/Anti-fog treatment. Except for these unique "basic" features some NXT lenses also are equipped with a Photochromatic filter. The Photochromatic filter enables the lens to change the tint color depending on the current light conditions.

Don't know if it's my computer or Photobucket, but I can't get a zoom in. What I can see is absolutely wonderful. Is that on hardibacker cement board? What are the border tiles - LOVE it. Lettering is great too. VERY nice memorial plaque. TELL me about not being able to work long hrs. I have to take little "back breaks" all through the day, but a little progress is better than no progress after all. |

The only words included in this release are as follows:
"Boy Jamez and I met on the Fap Crew room on Turntable.FM"
The joy and smiles will reverberate indefinitely. But let's get back to the music. Atlanta's Boy Jamez and Oregon's Slagz are homies built from shared interests on these Internets, noted that their collaborative moniker is "URL Boyz" (but asked that I tag the record otherwise), and have linked for a bouncy twerk record with perfectly placed vocals and breaks. This one transitions perfectly for a DJ as well, and the duo decided to offer it up for free download. It's a Do Androids Dance exclusive. Enjoy the wares!

I recently talked with Josh Braunstein, Vice President and General Manager at Wolters Kluwer, to discuss the challenges facing brand research. Braunstein started his career at Corsearch as a Researcher, which gives him a unique perspective on how search strategies and practices have changed over the years to accommodate the growing quantity of sources. "When I started as a researcher back in the 90s," said Braunstein, "a lot of what we did was manual querying: making sure that we were finding the best results, going through hard bound sources . . . magazines . . . CD-ROMs, and . . . online sources to try to amass that wealth of information we needed to make good decisions."
One of the biggest issues facing researchers today is information overload. When a brand owner orders a search on a mark such as "SMART" relating to a new mobile application, a researcher may encounter more than 5,000 hits in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction alone. How can a search be narrowed? How does a researcher decide what information is most important to companies and their brands?
As a researcher, the difficulty is not in finding information, but in finding the right information. Braunstein noted that trademark practitioners at companies and law firms really want "thoughtful responses to their challenges in the brand industry," not just simple "data dumps" that may not provide the most helpful or relevant information. Based on his observations, "the real challenge is finding that diamond in the rough; finding that piece of information that's most important and actionable for our customers."
For Corsearch, this means putting an emphasis on training and customer service. When researchers are equipped with a comprehensive knowledge of the industry, they are better able to make smart decisions when faced with thousands of data hits. Braunstein said, "Our researchers get months and months of training and then continuing education." This "best in class training program" is one of the methods differentiating Corsearch as a quality trademark research provider.
Providing the best search results means understanding each client's specific needs, especially in an industry where our customers "know what to expect, they know where the risks lie, and they challenge service companies like ours to make sure that we're providing the best value to them."
Ultimately, Braunstein explains that innovation plays an extremely important role in providing successful research results. "We work closely with our customers to identify how we can best meet their needs by creating workflow and reviewing tools that help them do more with less. Better efficiency, better quality and better effectiveness in the workflows we give them. This all comes down to innovation: how we present our records, how we present our workflow tools, and how we let them access and report on information in our platform."
Going forward, specialized solutions will continue to be important, which is why Corsearch continues to develop different types of searches catered to specific industries, such as a Pharmaceutical search, Entertainment Availability or Cross Market Knock Out (CMKO). Braunstein envisions a better, more informed future for brand protection: "In a good way, I think that content is going to continue to expand, there are going to be more places for brands to exploit, leverage, or face challenges to their brand equity."

I have just eaten a lovely pawpaw, if I keep the seeds, will they germinate ? Should I let them dry out before sowing them ?
I live near Sydney. Thanks people. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Popi..It could be too late to try growing by seed, Also the climate may be a bit on the cool side. Have a look at the link below it may help....Cheers..MM. |

A really useful thing to do with paw paw seeds is dry them out then put them into a pepper mill and use them as a seasoning. They will help to tenderise meat as well as be very useful for anyone who has allergies like hay fever or asthma. |
the only thing popi, and not sure waht the dpi page says but if it was the yellow fruit they tend to sprout more male trees than female trees, so you amy need to grow 10 or 20 seedling then wait until they flower to see if you have any female trees then cut nearly all the amle trees out, they shred well through the shgredder and make top mulch additive. lightly rinse the seeds then dry them then plant them best way i seed per say 7" pot and transplant when they look strong enough, best done early in the seaon so they get plenty of growth going before winter comes, they don't like frost when they are under about 2 meters tall. might be best to buy a red pawpaw they all sprout bi-sexual trees and the fruit is supposed to be just as nice, they will cross pollinate with the yellows readily so if you get fruit for the seed you need to remember that. they sell supposedly bi-sexual yellosw at nurseries but my information when i bought one that was a male was they can only guarantee 20% chance that you will get a proper bi-sexuals or female tree. len |
