Absence Labeling A form of food labeling that indicates the product does not contain a specific ingredient or foods produced in a certain way. The most common form of absence labeling can be found on dairy products that state the milk used comes from cows not injected with rGBH (see rGBH).
A severe allergic reaction in which the person suffers multiple, possibly life-threatening symptoms at once. Anaphylaxis can be caused by food, medicine, insect stings and latex.
The American National Standards Institute is responsible for developing guidelines and norms on which businesses rate products. ANSI also approves programs that assess conformance to national standards.
bST Bovine Somatotropin. A naturally occurring growth hormone in cows. bST can be produced synthetically and injected in dairy cows to increase their milk production. Also referred to as rBGH (see rGBH).
CDC The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention helps track foodborne illness outbreaks. When the outbreak is widespread, the CDC also assists in the investigation.
Celiac Disease
Occurs in individuals with gluten intolerance. The small intestines become damaged because they cannot absorb the gluten protein. Individuals with celiac disease must remove all gluten from their diet or they can face permanent intestinal damage.
Cold Pasteurization
Another name for irradiation, but one that consumers perceive to sound less threatening.
Cross-contact occurs when food proteins transfer from one food to another. Cross-contact must be avoided when serving customers with food allergies.
Cross-contamination occurs when bacteria from one food transfer to another.
DES Diethylstilbestrol is a synthetic form of estrogen prescribed between the 1930s and 1970s before it was found to cause cancer.
Ergonomics The discipline that involves arranging the environment to fit the person. If used correctly, an ergonomically designed tool or workspace minimizes the amount of visual, muscular and skeletal strain placed on the person's body.
FDA The United States Food and Drug Administration is responsible for monitoring nearly 80% of America's food supply. The only foods the FDA does not monitor are meat, poultry and eggs. Those are monitored by the USDA (see USDA).
Food Allergy
An immune system response to a certain type of food or food protein. Allergic responses can include shortness of breath, hives or even death.
Food Intolerance
A digestive system response to a particular food. Either the person's body is unable to properly break down the food or the food irritates their digestive system. Food intolerances are not life threatening.
A term used to describe genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This term is used primarily by opponents of genetic modification and creates a negative connotation in consumers' minds by likening GMOs to the Frankenstein monster (see GMO).
Freezer Burn
Occurs when food is either left in the freezer for too long or the freezer is too cold. Appearing as grayish-brown or leather spots, freezer burn is not a food safety issue, but can affect the taste and visual appeal of the food.
The Food Safety Inspection Service is the department within the USDA responsible for inspecting producers and handlers of America's meat, poultry and egg supply (see USDA).
GFCI A Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter is a type of outlet used primarily around areas where there can be a lot of water or moisture, like around sinks and in restrooms. GFCI outlets have a built-in circuit breaker that will cut off power to the outlet before a life-threatening amount of electricity passes through the outlet.
The specific protein within wheat and other grains that is most responsible for both wheat allergies and wheat intolerances.
A Genetically Modified Organism is a plant, animal or microorganism that has been altered at the genetic level in order to manifest or inhibit certain characteristics.
Hazard Communication Program An OSHA required program that ensures that all restaurant employees are informed of and understand the dangers associated with using hazardous chemicals (see OSHA).
A type of fertilizer used by farmers to kill weeds before they inhibit the growth of crops. Recent advances in genetic engineering have created seed varieties that produce herbicides on their own.
IGF-1 Insulin-like Growth Factor 1. A growth hormone that occurs naturally in both humans and cows and is present in milk from dairy cows. IGF-1 production can be stimulated through injecting dairy cows with bST (see bST).
The process of subjecting food to controlled amounts of radiation in order to increase its shelf-life, sterilize it for long-term storage, control against sprouting, ripening and insect damage and to kill harmful pathogens that cause food poisoning.
Lactose The sugar found in milk that is unable to be properly digested by persons with a dairy intolerance.
Marbling Fat flecks found within the actual meat. The amount of marbling present relates to the quality of beef. More marbling results in a higher grade because it enhances juiciness and flavor.
NSF The National Sanitation Foundation is a non-profit organization responsible for testing and certifying food service equipment that reduces the risk of food poisoning.
Organic All substances that contain biological material can be considered organic. In recent years, organic has also been used as a food label. Foods labeled as organic are those produced using no antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides or any other practices known to damage the environment.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration develops standards that ensure a safe work environment. OSHA also penalizes establishments that are non-compliant.
Pasteurization The process of heating products, like milk and fruit juices, in order to kill harmful bacteria that might be present.
A pathogen is anything that causes a disease. Common pathogens include bacteria, fungi and viruses.
A fertilizer used by farmers and other growers to kill insects that can damage the farmer's crops. Pesticides are usually sprayed onto the field, but recent advances in genetic engineering have created crops that naturally secrete a pesticide.
Personal Protective Equipment is clothing or equipment worn by an employee to protect them from hazards. Examples of PPE include cut-resistant gloves, oven mitts and dishwashing aprons.
Radura The internationally recognized symbol used to label foods that have been irradiated.
Recumbent Bovine Growth Hormone. Another name for bST, though one that is not used by the manufacturer since consumers had a negative reaction to the word "hormone" (see bST).
UL The Underwriters Laboratories develops safety standards, tests and certifies electrical equipment that reduces the risk of electrocution.
The United States Department of Agriculture is responsible for monitoring and inspecting America's meat, poultry and egg supply to assure it is safe for consumers.

Seymour likes Baidu (BIDU) and said it's favorably valued considering its growth. He suggested investors remain long the Chinese Internet sector.
Adami stressed that Yahoo! (YHOO) is on its way to $40 per share and he's a buyer.
Kelly said a deal with China Mobile Limited (CHL) and strong holiday iPad sales are reasons to own Apple (AAPL).
Bahram Akradi, founder, chairman and CEO of Life Time Fitness (LTM), was a guest on the show who said 65% of revenue at his company come from membership fees. December and January are the strongest months for signups, and the push into new markets will expand growth. The stock is undervalued based on its assets and buyback program, he said.
Kelly said the stock is basing nicely around $40 and has a strong buyback program, making it a buy. Pandora (P) was the first stock on the show's "Pops & Drops" segment. Brown said it appears to have broken out and is likely to continue higher. J.C. Penney (JCP) fell 4% and Adami said it looks to be headed towards $8.50. Mosaic (MOS) jumped 3%. Kelly said he would rather buy Deere (DE). Seymour said Deere has support near $83 and he wouldn't chase today's 3% move higher. Adami said Tesla Motors (TSLA) seems to have completely lost its momentum and he prefers BorgWarner (BWA) or Delphi Automotive (DLPH) for his auto selections. Dennis Gartman, publisher of The Gartman Letter, was a guest on the show. He said he shorted more Treasury bonds and noted that 10-year yields could hit 4% next year but won't have an adverse affect on the housing market or equity markets. He concluded that as the economy improves, rates increase. Brown said that as long as the move higher in rates is gradual it will be good for stocks and could boost the banks' earnings by 11%. He suggested buying the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLF).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Three men and one woman wearing matching gray jumpsuits and police shields around their necks entered a home in Rego Park last Thursday morning and handcuffed a man before fleeing, police said.
Though the incident was originally reported as a burglary, police said it was unclear whether or not anything was stolen from the two-story brick house on 67th Avenue near Queens Boulevard.
The case is under investigation by the NYPDs Internal Affairs Criminal Impersonation Unit.
Officers arrived at the scene shortly after 10:40 a.m. as the group was driving away in a tan, 1987 Nissan Maxima, said police. The foursome left behind on the street a 9mm handgun, a taser gun, a pair of handcuffs and a radio scanner.
After a short chase by several squad cars and one helicopter, police recovered the perpetrators abandoned vehicle around the intersection of Union Turnpike and Queens Boulevard.
One suspect was described as a 35- to 40-year-old Hispanic man weighing about 190 pounds. Another was described as a short, stocky Hispanic woman with black hair tied back in a pony tail. Police did not release any information about the other perpetrators.
No arrests have been made, said police.
This house for 20 years was rented to drug dealers, gypsies, said a man who used to live in the neighborhood and preferred not to be identified. In 1988, they found two bags of cocaine in this house.
His claim could not be independently verified.
Another man, Mayer Yedid, who lives down the street from the house, said the neighborhood was usually peaceful.
Sometimes you see a bunch of crowds coming in the middle of the night smoking weed, but I havent seen any drug dealing, said Yedid.
The incident was the second of two last week where perpetrators posing as police officers entered a house.
In the first incident, which occurred at about 11 a.m. on Oct. 15, two robbers knocked on the door of a house in Bayside, five blocks from the intersection of Bell and Northern boulevards, and identified themselves as police officers. Once inside, they tied up the resident, ransacked the house, and left with some jewelry, said police.
A spokesman for the 111th Precinct, based in Bayside, said there was no apparent connection between the two incidents.

Hi Guys, this is my third flash at all.
The second one was about Kid Icarus, trying to initiate you to the story of Kid Icarus.
There was also a "Tablet Scene" which was quite succesfull, I guess, because some of you liked it.
Thats why I created a Flash, with the same background as in that scene, and let Pit fight again.
But this time, not only against a bunch of Tablets, no...
This time, you'll see much more than just tablets ;)
Including 2 Special Guests, hope you can recognize them!
Have fun!
Pretty Good
First, it was a good flash movie (w/e). Second, I loved the game on NES and you jsut put it into more realism. Third, i always love a dragon battle at the end something so it was pretty good. I gave the humor a 2 becasue of the random domokun! lol. But, it was prety good. keep it up. I also like your other series with Pit!

text: Babette Vanlancker Animal Testing Modern animal testing has been a controversial topic ever since it began 150 years ago. While some people believe that animal testing is crucial because it is the key to medicinal development and human health, others question whether animals should be sacrificed in order for humans to ameliorate their standard of living. Today, researchers have the option of using alternative methods for testing, however, animal testing is still widely used, as it is believed to be to most reliable form of experimentation. Animal testing are "tests performed on animals that help to advance scientific research and medical development1 ." 33% percent of all animals tested are used in 'basic (or fundamental)' research. This is research that aims to increase knowledge about animals and human behaviour, development, and biological functions. 30% of the animals are used in 'targeted (or applied) research'. In this kind of research, scientists aim to understand diseases and develop treatments for them. Furthermore, 8% of the animals are used in 'toxicological evaluation'. This tests the safety of products used in order to minimize harm done to animals, humans, and the environment. The remaining 28% are used for a variety of different purposes. The three main reasons animals are used in research are: to advance scientific understanding, develop solutions to medical problems, and protect the safety of people, animals, and the environment. Many people refuse to believe that animal testing is beneficial. This is shown in some statistics. For example, in the US, those in favor of animal testing has dropped from 64 percent in 2004 to 50 percent in 2010. Regardless, it has shaped the people and the world we live in today. For example, animal testing allows us to ensure the safety of drugs and medicines we consume in our daily lives. Antibiotics, insulin, organ transplantation, HIV treatment, and heart-bypass surgery are all products that owe their existence or development to animal 1http://animaltestingperspectives.org/2011/questions/what-is-animal-testing- exactly/ experimentation. Furthermore, animal testing guarantees the safety of everyday products such as cleaning products, lotions, and makeup Most importantly, products that treat or prevent life-threatening diseases, such as cancer, have been developed thanks to animal testing. 25 years ago, cancer would inevitably have led to death within a few years, whereas when someone is diagnosed with cancer today, treatments is provided that could possibly save the patient's life. Such treatments include treatments for bowel, breast, and lung cancer. Vaccines for cervical cancer are available as well. Overall, the most important aspect of animal testing is that it is the most reliable way to test new products. Mice and rats, for example, are used in testing because their bodies react to diseases and treatment almost the same way the human body does. In short, experimentation on animals allows us to use everyday products with certainty. Nonetheless, there are many negative aspects of animal testing. Testing leads to the deaths of countless animals, and some of these animals die in vain, as many drugs that are tested will never receive approval anyway. In addition, animal testing is very expensive. Researchers need to ensure that the animals are kept properly maintained and that they are given shelter and enough food. And lastly, contradictory to what was said before, even though it is the most reliable form of testing, it is not always one hundred percent reliable since animals do not have exactly the same organs as humans and do not always respond to product the way humans would. Researchers, however, try to minimize the testing on animals. There are several ways to do this. First and foremost, researchers refrain from testing products if similar products caused problems in the animal. This is a process called 'read-across' (i.e. the toxic characteristics of a chemical are deduced by observing the test data of a similar and toxic product). Another way to minimize tests is to plan a test. Using this method, researchers have to stick to a certain method so as not to cause animals to de in vain. First, researchers do what is called 'acute testing'. These tests test for the most critical aspect first. This means that if the animal develops problems right away, researchers won't test that product for any other aspects. If the animal did not show any problems, it undergoes what is called 'chronic exposure'. This is when the animal is exposed to a product over a period of time in order to see if it develops problems over time. If the animal does not respond negatively to this test either, the animal undergoes what is called 'multigenerational testing'. In this kind of testing, the animal's offspring is observed to see whether they have problems. Another way to minimize tests on a large mass of animals is to do 'target testing'. This means that instead of, for example, gassing a large number of animals, only one animal is tested. This one particular animal receives a mask and is then gassed individually. Other alternatives include genomics, which is the testing of cell tissues, and selective animal tests, which are tests that test the species of animals whose organ most closely resembles the organ in the human body at which the test is targeted. Furthermore, companies may share data with other companies, against a payment. All in all, researchers try to abide by the three R's. They are: Reduction, which aims at reducing the amount of animals that have to undergo experimentation, replacement, which aims at using non-animal alternatives whenever possible, and refinement, which means that animals are looked after properly. There are some companies and industries in the world that do not test their products on animals. Or so they claim. One such company is The Body Shop. This store promotes their products by advertising that they are 'animal-friendly'. This, however, could not be farther from the truth. The Body Shop may not test their products on animals themselves, but they do use products that were tested on animals by other industries. This shows how hypocritical some companies are in order to sell their products. If The Body Shop did indeed not test their products on animals, then there would be no proof that their products would be safe for humans or the environment. This is true for every company. Even though measures are being taken to minimize experimentation on animals as much as possible, many people still don't agree with the concept. This is because they believe that animals have a moral status, just like humans. These people may feel strongly about the fact that animals should be protected from being used by humans. Laws have been established in many countries, such as England, France, Germany, and the US, which protect animals against abuse. These anticruelty laws against animals do not apply when animals are used for medical purposes or scientific research, however. It needs to be realized that animals in the lab are well protected and that here are laws ensuring that an animal suffering from severe pain is put down immediately. Even though animal experimentation may seem like an extremely cruel act, it is necessary for the development of our world and for the welfare of the world's population. Without animal research, life-saving medicines, such as Avastin and Herceptin (which treat different kinds of cancer) would not exist and the chances of someone with cancer surviving would almost be inexistent. Nevertheless, innumerable animals die painful deaths in the name of science and are sacrificed for humans. Animal experimentation will not cease to be a controversial subject.

While in Marrakech, I learned that "Marhaba" means welcome, and Dar Marhaba is appropriately named. I stayed at Dar Marhaba for about a week when I was in town for a conference. My colleagues were in different riads so I was a solo woman much of the time. The riad was incredibly beautiful, comfortable and safe. I felt so much at home there with the wonderful service, caring staff, delicious food (especially the breakfast), and the gorgeous rooftop. The owner and the staff went out of their way to ensure that my stay was comfortable and even provided a safe space for me to leave my stuff while I traveled to Essaouira for a the weekend. It's a good location as well, about a 15 minute walk to the Jemaa el Fna and close to the souks and good food. I recommend this place 100% and if I return to Marrakech, I will certainly stay at Dar Marhaba again!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- In full historical centre of Marrakech, Dar Marhaba Marrakech offers tradition and confort, combining luxury, calm and pleasure, patio with Piscine, rooms and continuations air-conditioned, living room TV with chimney; all in Riad invites at rest and to softness.

Spaces Design Studio owner Joy Nan Rodia knows that each room in a person's home serves a distinct purpose. A bedroom should offer end-of-day relaxation, a home office should invigorate the senses, and a kitchen should function as both a communal haven and the best place to hide from the ghosts that inhabit in all televisions. Giving life—and a unifying vision—to these spaces is what she does best. A graduate of New York's Parsons The New School for Design and the founder of the Association of Redesign and Staging Professionals, Joy has been providing interior-design services for 20 years. No matter the job, she carefully considers each residential or commercial client's color preferences and budget as she creates an atmosphere using flooring, lighting, and fabrics.
In addition to her own design work, Joy shares her passion for home styling via classes, workshops, and training programs at her School of Interior Redesign and Home Staging. She also gives back, acting as an interior designer for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey.
The constant tug-of-war between education and fun finds middle ground inside this Central Jersey children's museum, as entertaining exhibits and engaging staff members embed knowledge in each young visitor. Young guests can play veterinarian at the Pet Vet Center, read the news and see themselves on television at the TV News Room, or shed light on the complexities of the human body inside a replica doctor's office outfitted with realistic equipment.
A motorcycle, retired fire engine, and a grounded airplane shows visitors the wonders of mechanized travel in the Varoom!!! Vehicle Showroom, which leads to an enchanted castle outfitted with a wooden drawbridge, a faux moat, and a new level 3 train exhibit. Party rooms manned by helpful staffers merge learning and celebration, and the onsite gift shop coaxes homebound brain building with a selection of scientific toys.
An armory of products by Mitch, Paul Mitchell's selection for men, brings order to scraggly heads, which peer hopefully at The ManCave's poker table and flat-screen television. Gents twirl in padded styling chairs, listening to the shouts of excitement that drift beneath sports memorabilia and a tyrannosaurus rex bust. Neon beer signs cast their colorful warmth across the ebony-hued leather of long couches, and a puck ricochets sharply off the rim of an air-hockey table, allowing patrons to showcase athletic skills far from the suit-ruining fur of shedding mascots.
LA Boxing offers fitness classes in boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and mixed martial arts.

Quasi-boxers and martial artists can burn from 800 to more than 1,000 calories during these total-body routines, which combine external inspiration and jukes, jabs, and kicks. Both men and women are welcome in the ring, where they'll learn new techniques and methods to blissfully break into a sweat in an energetic group setting. Gloves are provided during the month-long trial membership, as are a set of reusable pro-quality hand wraps and complimentary motivational mumbling from Mickey Goldmill (all three subject to availability).
Dr. Abkin, Dr. Bertha, and Dr. Iannace of Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeons of Morris, lead a practice dedicated to minimally invasive weight loss surgery and medical weight loss management.

Smashburger isn't just the name—it's the way chefs, otherwise known as Burger Smashers, cook every burger. First, they form never-frozen, 100% Certified Angus Beef into a giant meatball. Then they season it, place it on a butter-glazed grill, and smash it into a patty. The process caramelizes the beef, locking in flavor while keeping the meat juicy and tender. Each slab is then sandwiched in an artisan bun and is turned into one of an array of standard burgers or locally inspired specialties unique to each market.
This handcrafting approach typifies everything else the restaurant does, from blending handspun shakes to hand painting Smashburger's logo onto every beverage cup. Letting its food stand for itself and relying mostly on word of mouth for advertising, the Smashburger franchise expanded from one restaurant in 2007 to 220 today, with its swift growth from zero to 100 stores making it one of the nation's fastest-growing restaurant companies. This rapid development even caught the attention of Forbes and Inc. along the way.

Spain's Cesc Fabregas has trained again after recovering from injury but Alvaro Arbeloa has emerged as a doubt for the defending champions.
Fabregas had been sidelined since suffering a thigh injury in Barcelona's 3-0 Copa del Rey victory over Athletic Bilbao late last month.
But the 25-year-old trained as normal with his Spanish team-mates ahead of their departure to Poland for Euro 2012 on Tuesday.
While Fabregas should be fit to begin Spain's campaign against Italy in Gdansk on Sunday, there are fears over Arbeloa.
The Real Madrid full-back failed to train due to a trapped nerve in his back.
The former Liverpool man was expected to start against the Azzurri and Vicente Del Bosque must now decide between switching Sergio Ramos to right-back or handing Juanfran his second cap.
Sevilla winger Jesus Navas also endured difficulties, having to go to hospital for a precautionary check on his hand.
"Jesus Navas went to hospital to undergo x-rays on his right hand after he bruised it during a training session this morning so as to re-assure himself that it was not serious," read a statement on the Spanish football federation's official website.

Late night at the gunshop and we were bored, security camera people were installing new stuff. The conversation turned to the current subject. A new gun control law allows each adult to own only one pistol, one rifle, and one shotgun. We debated conditions at length so lets use the current definition of a firearm so in theory you could choose a TC Contender frame and many barrel sets, or one AR lower and a bunch of uppers. You Dan Wesson pistol set owners will be lucky.
One of our group was a local LEO, and while he had strong opinions about exactly what would happen if some law made us turn in all but three guns, please assume that as responsible gun owners we must obey the law. Also those LEOs out there may assume your duty gun will be issued and the three choices are yours personally.
The choices aparantly tell a lot about the shooter. What say you?

- About the Book
Oliver's world has shrunk. It's all about Year 12 finals. It's about that magic 80% average he needs to get into uni, get his dream job and get cashed up. A study break in a small coastal town seems just the ticket. But Sunny Haven Recreation and Leisure Centre is like some weird parallel universe. He arrives cashless, bookless, phoneless and fuming in the back of his Dad's clapped out Cortina only to find his new study space is home to an array of elderly citizens.

As the director of interiors at SHoP Architects in New York, Krista Ninivaggi is establishing the firm as a design-savvy competitor in the interior design profession.
Legend Award: Trisha Wilson
From her start as an entrepreneur in Dallas in the 1970s to designing hospitality interiors worldwide as she led a global design firm, Trisha Wilson has been a trailblazer.
Here are winners honored at the 34th Annual Interiors Awards in January 2013:
The 34th Annual Interiors Awards
Jurors said, "The consistency of quality and ideas from designers around the world confirms the emergence of a powerful global interiors dialogue. " Even with difficult, and sometimes unpredictable, economic conditions designers continue to craft thoughtful and relevant interiors, many of which transform the appearance and function of existing buildings. The jurors—Alan Ricks (2012 Designer of the Year), Dina Griffin, Nancy Keatinge, Margaret Sullivan, and Stephen Apking—recognized this transformative power to distill the best work of their peers from nearly 400 submissions. A winning project was selected in 13 categories. FXFOWLE was recognized for the adaptive reuse of a New York armory, but many other projects redefined existing interiors, including the renovation of the Cranbrook Art Museum by Eliel Saarinen, a new restaurant in Marcel Breuer's Whitney Museum of American Art, and a retail space in Moshie Safdie's Crystal Bridges Museum. Even the proposed site of the winning student/conceptual project was for an existing yet struggling retail location in San Francisco. Additionally, two projects from China were chosen, designed by the same Chinese firm, and two projects from Austria were selected, designed by the same Viennese architects. Large firms are represented—Gensler won for a sustainable office project in Atlanta—but the majority of projects were by small- or medium-sized firms. Great design was, of course, the key determining factor for the jurors, and clearly firms of various sizes—not just large firms—were able to complete fantastic and transformative work.

This project uses Crystal Reports to generate a database schema listing on a Microsoft SQL Server database. The listing includes extended column information including column descriptions. This project requires Visual Studio 2003 or 2005, .NET Framework 1.1, and the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio component.
The generated report lists column names, data types, size, description, etc. Primary key columns are preceded by an asterisk. Columns names are italicized when the column is allowed to be NULL in the table.
One day I set out to document a database that I had been studying. Using the Table Designer in Enterprise Manager, I began entering descriptions of the columns of each table. Later on, I discovered that there is no way to print out the column descriptions using EM. I did a little research and discovered how to get the descriptions out of the sysobjects table.
The project can be built and run with just a little setup. To install the project, unzip it to a directory of your choosing, for instance c:\projects\dbadoc. Create a virtual directory in IIS and set the path to c:\projects\dbadoc\client.
Open Visual Studio and build the project. If you are using VS 2005, the project should convert with no problems. That's it!

UN Investigating Alleged Chemical Attacks In Syria
By editor
Originally published on Tue September 10, 2013 11:05 am
Syrian activists allege that Syrian President Bashar al Assad's regime used chemical weapons against rebels today, killing hundreds of civilians.
The allegations come just after United Nations chemical weapons experts arrived in the country to investigate earlier alleged uses of these weapons.
Amy Smithson of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, explains what the UN team will be looking for and the challenges they face in determining chemical weapons use.

Rating: 1/5DAMAGED MY DEVICE?This review is from: 2-Pack Transparent Clear LCD Screen Protector Film for Nintendo 3DS (Set of 2 - Top and Bottom Cover) Pros: Newegg turnaround, tho' if they keep offering junk like this, my opinion will change. Cons: Could not get the bubbles out of the lower screen, and when we removed the film, it left marks on the 3DS screen where the bubbles had been. Don't yet know if the screen is permanently damaged, but the marks will not 'clean' off. The upper film was scratched by the "squeegee". Complete GARBAGE. Other Thoughts: If you have experienced damage to your device--after following the directions to the letter--from an Insten product, PLEASE reply. I'll be seeking others and an attorney to represent us if my 3DS damage is permanent. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

An Arena football league player set fire to his bed Thursday, claiming God told him to do it. Kevin Ellison, a linebacker/defensive back for the Spokane Shock, is facing federal arson charges after telling authorities that God told him to set fire to his bed with a marijuana blunt, starting a fire which gutted his third floor apartment. Damage is estimated at $50,000.00.
Ellison told Spokane Valley Deputy Fire Marshall Clifton Mehaffey that he started the fire because God told him to set the bed on fire.
Ellison, a USC product, was selected by the San Diego Chargers in the 2009 NFL Draft. He was released in 2010 after nine starts for the Chargers when law enforcement officials found 100 Vicodin tablets without a perscription in his car during a traffic stop. Ellison joined the Seattle Seahawks but was released prior to the start of the 2010 NFL regular season.
Shock majority owner Brady Nelson told reporters that the investigation needs to play itself out but his future with the team is not assured. "I think the investigation needs to play out, but if he truly did this he's never coming back." Ellison remains in jail with a bail hearing scheduled for June 19.

Light and Dark
Balance yin and yang in your cool-down.
The cool-down is a great time to introduce and explore the mind-body connection. During this phase, the body and mind make the transition from intense physical and intellectual stimulation to a state of equilibrium. Promote this balancing effect by harmonizing yin and yang energies, and transform an ordinary cool-down into a holistic experience.
The concept of yin and yang—the interdependent, symbiotic nature of all things—adds an interesting mind-body perspective to the cool-down. Think of yin and yang not as opposites or absolutes but rather as dynamic and complementary qualities that reveal meaning and purpose in one another. All things possess and exhibit these qualities. Yin is dark, passive, downward, cold, contracting and weak. Yang is bright, active, upward, hot, expanding and strong. When applying the terms to the world of fitness, you could say that a cardio workout is yang and that stretching or range-of-motion training is yin; that muscle tissue is yang, while connective tissue is yin.
Most fitness classes are yang in nature, so you need to find balance by including some yin repose. The cool-down offers the perfect opportunity!
A sense of mindfulness and purpose is essential to the cool-down. Make a distinct shift from outwardly projected energy to inwardly directed energy. While participants stretch, coach them to scan their bodies for any residual tension or stress. Ask them to focus their attention on those sensations. After a brief period, expand the scan to include thoughts, moods or mind states. They will likely discover some interesting emotional counterparts to what they observe physically. In essence, this scanning exercise establishes the mind-body connection.
Continue to nurture this connection through conscious breathing (while cuing stretches). Instruct participants to breathe deeply through the nose on both the inhalation and the exhalation. Offer a challenge: Extend the breath to 5 seconds in each direction, with a brief pause at either end. Another helpful exercise is to make the exhalation twice as long as the inhalation (inhale 4 seconds, and exhale 8 seconds). The extended exhalation is calming and enhances the relaxation response.
For our purposes, a pose that applies tension to the muscle during the stretch is yang, and a more passive stretch targeting the fascia and connective tissue is yin.
Yang: From seated position on floor, extend legs straight, tilt pelvis forward, elongate spine, lead with chest, and reach heart toward feet. Keep torso erect as you fold forward. Hold for 3–5 breath cycles ("lengthens" hamstrings).
Yin: Fold torso forward, allowing spine to curve. Head, shoulders and arms hang heavily. Allow any muscular tension to release; soften knees. Hold for 10–20 breath cycles ("stretches" spine).
Yang: Sitting with soles of feet together in front of body, knees out, tilt pelvis forward, extend spine, press hands on feet and elbows on knees to gain depth, and descend with erect spine. Hold for 3–5 breath cycles ("opens" hips).
Yin: Fold torso forward, allowing spine to curve. Head and shoulders hang effortlessly, and arms rest on floor. Release any muscular tension. Hold for 10–20 breath cycles ("stretches" spine and sacroiliac joint).
Play with the notions of yin and yang as they relate to fitness components. Be creative, and explore the delicate balance between the strong, warming depth of yang and the soft, calm openings that yin creates. Observe . . . breathe . . . enjoy.

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y., March 19— In painstaking detail, a Suffolk County prosecutor today sketched out an intricate corruption case against the county sheriff, Patrick A. Mahoney, and his former top deputy, saying they used the county jail as the unofficial headquarters for Mr. Mahoney's political campaigns and sought money for plum assignments, better pay and promotions.
In a two-hour opening statement, William T. Ferris, an assistant district attorney, slowly recited a 90-count indictment unsealed last June against Mr. Mahoney and his former undersheriff, Edward J. Morris, charging, among other things, that over a decade, the men used jail employees on taxpayer-financed time to organize summer barbecues, golf outings and other fund-raising events.
He said in the opening remarks that ''special deputy sheriff'' badges were raffled off to the highest bidders, that Mr. Mahoney bilked the Sheriff's Benevolent Fund of $16,000 and that county offices and vehicles were used to get Mr. Mahoney re-elected.
Political campaigns and fund-raising are the ''American way of life,'' Mr. Ferris conceded to jurors in State Supreme Court here before comparing the sheriff's operation to a political machine with ''tentacles'' that reached in many directions. ''However, there are certain laws, which forbid certain practices, which require disclosure and which forbid the improper use of an elected officials' position in authority and in avoiding the misuse of those positions. In a word, upholding the public trust,'' Mr. Ferris said.
As two of Mr. Mahoney's brothers, a sister and other public officials looked on, Mr. Ferris made no hint of what Mr. Mahoney, 58, has described as his long-running feud with District Attorney James M. Catterson Jr., 70. The two law enforcement officials have butted heads in public, and the defense team has cast the trial as another public airing of their enmity.
But the prosecution, in its opening, appeared to be trying to sidestep that bad blood, a defense lawyer said afterward.
''It was not very subtle, but I got a hint, I got a whiff that they want to keep the underlying reason that we are in court out of earshot of the jury,'' said William D. Wexler, one of Mr. Mahoney's lawyers, advancing his theory. ''It is that Catterson has made it public that the sheriff is his sworn enemy.''
Mr. Catterson was not in court today, but afterward he issued a written statement that said: ''A Suffolk County grand jury chose to hand up an indictment and now the fate of the accused rests with 12 decent, honorable Suffolk County citizens. I trust they will do the right thing and see to it that justice is done in this case.''
Lawyers for Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Morris will get their chance to deliver opening statements on Tuesday before Justice Richard L. Buchter, who normally works in Queens but who is presiding here as part of an effort to avoid any suggestion of judicial bias. Mr. Ferris will then present the first of what he said could be about 100 prosecution witnesses. They include William Posch, a former aide to the sheriff, who sat in an office next to Mr. Mahoney and used a computer there to track contributors on county time, Mr. Ferris said.
Defense lawyers say the witnesses they plan to call include Bud Harrelson, the former New York Met, as a character witness for Mr. Morris.
After today's proceedings, Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Morris and their lawyers said the charges were untrue and politically motivated.
''They have a very weak case, and once we get into cross-examining their witnesses, we'll see just how weak it is,'' said Mr. Mahoney, who has called the proceedings a waste of taxpayers' money.
Mr. Morris, 51, who resigned as undersheriff in 1999 and is currently the executive director of the Suffolk County Sports Hall of Fame, was more blunt. ''It's a lot of mumbo jumbo,'' he said.
