Description - Published on Oct/11/2010
Little Rock became the capital of the Arkansas Territory in 1819 and of the state of Arkansas in 1836.
Little Rock is the capital and the largest city of the U.S. state of Arkansas. The The Metropolitan Statistical Area(MSA) includeds the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pine Bluff.
Located near the geographic center of Arkansas, Little Rock derives its name from a small rock formation on the south bank of the Arkansas River called la Petite Roche (French: "the little rock"). The "little rock" was used by early river traffic as a landmark and became a well-known river crossing.

The eastern edge of Little Rock is sparsely populated but is a vital economic area, as Little Rock National Airport and Little Rock River Port are both located here.
* Aerospace Education Center, 3301 E Roosevelt Rd.
* Little Rock Audubon Center, 4500 Springer Blvd.
Many of Little Rock's most interesting attractions are found in its downtown area.

I have a grafted Alano sapodilla in the ground that is about 4ft tall and full of flowers.
The flowers are starting to dry out without setting fruit and there is not a lot of info in the web regarding pollinating methods for the Sapodilla.
Has anyone had success pollinating by hand or other methods?
Is this plant planted out in the ground? How long have you had it? It may take it a few years before it starts holding onto to some of the fruits. There really shouldn't be no need to hand pollinate. The flowers seem to be pollinated by wasps and ants, I think mostly ants.
I had the plant for 6 months. It was in a pot and I planted it in the ground 3 months ago. It may be about 3 years old.
When it was on the pot, there was one fruit on it which I think a bird might of taken because it disappeared. Anyways, it's old enough to fruit
There's one plant that I'm familiar with, it bloom profusely the first 2 yrs but held no fruit. Since then it has flowered and held fruits. It may just need a bit more time. Or the bugs may have not known what to do with them flowers yet. Would love to see some of your pictures!
That is a healthy looking specimen. After having some fruit from a sapodilla I would really like to grow one. Where did you get yours? And do you need more than one tree to get fruit? I understand your frustration, their fruit is wonderful. There doesn't seem to be alot of information available about cultivating them either. I am hoping to find a 'Makok'. I hope yours is just adjusting to being put in the ground. Maybe once it roots well it can focus on fruiting for you.
WOW great looking plant Racor. Give it another year and I think it will definitely hold some fruit. Here's a picture of a tree in my area. It's not mine. This was taken last December or so. The plant did look like your tree a couple of years before so it may need a little bit more time. The fruits actually over winter from one year to the next before ripening.
I purchased mine from Papaya Tree Nursery in Ganada Hills, CA. This particular variety (Alano) suppose to be self fertile so it does not need another tree to pollinate. There are other varieties which are also self fertile. There is a tropical fruit website in Florida that sells Sapodillas via mail order. Do can Google search for their website or email me.
That is a great looking Sapodilla you took a picture of. Hope mine looks like that one day. I know mine is still young but I would like to get to taste at least one fruit now to see how is the quality. I have tasted may Sapodillas over the years but did not know the varieties.
Thanks for all the responses.
Hope a new "Tropical Fruit Only" forum gets implemented.
Nice pics everyone. You have me concerned about your flowers dropping. My Alano is starting to bloom for the first time. Hopefully they will stay on. I also noticed that you have yours under a shade cloth. I had to move mine under an ash tree. The leaves were getting burned.
That is the reason why I covered my tree. The leaves were getting burned and since it had flowers, I didn't want to take a chance on the flowers getting burned before having a chance to pollinate. The flowers that are droping right now are the ones that are not pollinated. I have hand pollinated some flowers and I'm waiting to see if some fruit develope.
I live in San Diego and have a Sapodilla tree in my backyard...as per experience, you can hand pollinate the flowers using a thin water color brush small enough to be inserted in the flower. Flowers open in the afternoon so you can alternately hand pollinate the flowers which I believe the fully open is male and the slightly open is female. By doing this I do have alot of fruits on my tree.
I am living in Orange County, California and have a Sapodilla tree about more than 11 years every year has a lot flower but only one fruit, I never do hand pollinate because I do not know how, so Bonbbonsai can you help me to do pollinate by hand please.
firstname.lastname@example.com 714-902-7590

I live in Encinitas, CA, I just started planting some tropical fruit trees; for sapodillas, I already planted 2 Makok. I wanted to add another variety but can not decide between Hasya or Alano, which cultivar has better taste and compact growth Hasya or Alano??? Has anyone grown Jackfruit tree successfully in San Diego??? which cultivar??? Thank you in advance for any help.

Home Company Vaccines Fetal & Stem Cell Research Abortion Other Links Donate Search
"A Vaccine
That Infects?" (Excerpts from the article on the chickenpox vaccine) For decades now, vaccines have been produced by using fetal cell lines, and Merck's Varivax is no exception. A cell line, according to Dr. Chris Kahlenborn, a Pittsburgh physician, "is a group of cells taken from an animal or human being and put on a petri dish. You usually have to add mitogens - chemicals that stimulate their division." The cells divide again and agina, and the resulting cultures are kept in stock at the American Type Cultrue Collection, a nonprofit, private organization in Bethesda, Maryland, which provides them to researchers. The abortions that produced the material for the two cell lines WI-38 and MRC-5 were, according to Dr. Shaw, performed "under medically legitimate circumstances." He insists that it is incorrect to "draw a cause-and-effect relationship between abortions and vaccine manufacturers... None of the vaccine manufacturers had anything to do with these abortions," he maintains. But Dr. Kahlenborn, medical consultant for People Concerned for the Unborn Child, thinks that "each time cells are used from an aborted child, it gives the abortion industry one more 'reason' for proclaiming the benefits of abortion." It is not morally permissible to reap the research benefits from a deliberately induced abortion without, in some sense, being an accomplice to that abortion, according to Dominican Father Albert Moraczewski, of the Pope John XXIII Center for Medical-Moral Research in Braintree, Massachusetts. Benefiting from a fetal cell line like MRC-5 "involves a complicity with the induced abortion from which the cells were obtained," he added. "We could grant that the use of cell lines from induced abortions is several steps away from the abortion itself," he admitted, but that doesn't break "the chain of complicity." When it comes to using a cell line from an aborted baby, researchers "know the source of the tissue - unless they deliberately blind themselves to it" said Father Moraczewski, editor of ETHICS AND MEDICS. "It doesn't appear spontaneously in a lab dish." Turning an abortion into a vaccine, he concluded, means "being an accomplice to the act of the abortion." Countered Dr. Shaw, who was on the team that developed the vaccine: "I don't buy that at all." The abortions behind the MRC-5 and WI-38 cell lines, he said, "would have taken place regardless." By this reasoning, however, one might also justify using tissue from Auschwitz victims - whose deaths would have taken place regardless - for medical research. The British bishops have already had to deal with this moral dilemma. In 1994, the United Kingdom's department of health decided to vaccinate 5- to 16-year-olds with a rubella vaccine developed from MRC-5. In the end, the bishops decided that the judgment is left to the individual parents. "It becomes a matter of prudence." But the world has seen medicine that sucks life from the death of innocents before. "Anyone who receives medical treatment for hypothermia," the (British) document said, "is likely to benefit from knowledge gained from wicked experiments carried out by Nazi doctors." Of course there is a world of difference between the two cases. The British document said, "They (the researchers) did not require that the cell line they used should come from an aborted baby." Then who DID demand that cell lines be developed from the tissue of aborted babies? Why couldn't a researcher develop a vaccine with a cell line originated from a spontaneous abortion - a miscarriage? The existence of such a vaccine could free doctors and their patients from the moral risk of complicity in abortion. "In principle you could," Dr. Shaw, who helped develop a vaccine based on WI-38 and MRC-5, responded, "but in practice you couldn't ...a spontaneously aborted fetus is immediately suspect. There is a REASON for a spontaneous abortion." Researchers are looking for cell lines that are free of any physical defects; a miscarriage in itself is a sign of some medical weakness. But the defect that causes the miscarriage is not always the "fault" of the fetus, Dr.Kahlenborn points out. The medical problem may be within the mother's body; the unborn child could be completely healthy. (For example: "if a woman has a torn placenta, that's the problem, and the baby is perfectly normal.") He suspects that the real reason researchers favor fetuses from induced abortions is because "it's easier for them to go to an abortion clinic...it's much more difficult to get a baby from a miscarriage." The MRC5 cell line has been well known since at least 1970, when researchers published a paper about it in the British science journal, NATURE. Already at that time the cell line WI-38, which was derived form the lung cells of a deliberately aborted female fetus, had shown "stability and integrity" for 10 years. "We have developed another strain of cells," wrote the authors of the NATURE article, "also derived form fetal lung tissue, taken from a 14-week-old male fetus removed for psychiatric reasons from a 27-year-old woman with a genetically normal family history." But any benefits drawn from deliberate abortion must have a "stigma" attached to them, Dr. Kahlenborn said, until biomedical researchers become convinced "that the aborted baby is not an object from which to choose spare parts." |

Who cares about volcanic specks in Pacific? China, Vietnam, Japan.
A diplomatic ruckus has reignited over resource-rich and militarily strategic seas that lie off their coasts, as China moves to build a tourist resort in the Paracels and calls Japan's building plans on Okinotori illegal.
A handful of volcanic specks in the Pacific Ocean are sparking fresh diplomatic ruckus, as China and its neighbors tussle over the resource-rich and militarily strategic seas that lie off their coasts.
Beijing infuriated Vietnam last week by announcing plans for a luxury tourist resort in the Paracels, a scattering of coral-fringed islets in the South China Sea that China, Vietnam, and Taiwan all claim as their territory.
Japan's plans for a port on its farthest-flung possession, the remote Pacific atoll of Okinotori, meanwhile, drew a sharp response from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, which accused Tokyo of violating international maritime law.
At the heart of both disputes lie the prospect of oil and gas wealth beneath the crystalline waters – and Chinese military ambitions.
The Paracels, lying almost equidistant between China and Vietnam, have been under Beijing's control since Chinese forces seized the islands after a brief war in 1974. Since then, they have been mostly off-limits to civilians, and house only a military presence.
A tourist development plan released last week, however, foresees a high-end resort. Vietnamese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Nguyen Phuong Nga demanded Monday that China abandon the project, which she said "causes tension and further complicates the situation."
Ms. Nga's Chinese counterpart, Jiang Yu, retorted Tuesday that Beijing has "indisputable sovereignty" over the islands. Whoever enjoys sovereignty also enjoys exclusive economic rights for 230 miles in all directions from the islands, over an area believed to hold rich oil and gas reserves.
Ms. Jiang had more to say on the subject of little-known Pacific atolls Thursday, when she charged that reported Japanese plans to build a port on Okinotori, which lies 1,050 miles south of Tokyo, "do not conform with international maritime law."

My pleasure! The PS500 looks great to own, I wish it was there when I bought my first Grado (a RS-1).
Denon AH-D5000 and -D7000 are a thing of the past, the company now sells AH-D600s and AH-D7100s instead.
But Fostex, which's mother company (Foster) has designed and been producing those headphones for Denon since the beginning, have released worthy successors of the D5000 and 7000. Check them out, they're called: TH600 (released in Japan the 25th of this month, 800-900 dollars) and the almighty closed-back flagship TH900 (1800-2000$, competing with the LCD-3 and winning in some cases).
Thanks I will check the TH600/900 cans. So are you saying that the D5000 &D7000 are not as good as the new Denon D600's/ D7100 ...??? .
When you said.... Re PS500's v Mag V5's " They offer a performance that is comparable to the Magnums yes, but still a very different sound signature." did you mean ....re bass../Treble ?? is there more or less ... bass /treble etc than stock PS500 ...It is almost impossible to get apair to demo in England ...pian in the ass really ..lol

Children At Risk is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that drives change for children through research, education, and influencing public policy. Founded in 1989 and based in Houston, Texas, the organization focuses on the well-being of children and educates legislators on the importance of key children's issues. While focusing on a variety of issues, the primary issues are human trafficking, food insecurity, education, juvenile justice, parenting, and Latino children.[1][2] Children at Risk also has a North Texas office in Dallas.[3]
The mission is to improve the quality of life for children through strategic research, public policy analysis, education, collaboration, and advocacy. The organization strives to make children's needs a priority and to ensure ample resources are available for children and their families to thrive.[4]
Children At Risk began in the fall of 1989 when a group of child advocates met to discuss the lack of documentation on the status of children and the absence of strong public policy support for Houston's children. For over twenty years, Children At Risk has been speaking out and driving change on behalf of our city's most defenseless youth, led by its original mission ''To serve as the voice for children.'' Using the tools of advocacy, Children At Risk works on a broad range of children's issues, including child welfare, education, child trafficking, juvenile justice, mental and physical health, and parenting. Their efforts are focused where they are needed most: where a significant number of children are affected, and where they can enhance, but not duplicate, the work of others.
Over its history, Children At Risk has evolved from an organization researching the multitude of obstacles our children face, to one that also drives macro-level change to better the future of our state through community education, collaborative action, evidence-based public policy, and advocating for our youth at the local and state level. Through its Public Policy & Law Center—established in 2006 as the only center of its kind in Texas—Children At Risk uses policy and legal expertise as a powerful tool to drive change and create a better future for our children. In recent years, Children At Risk has grown exponentially in its capacity to speak out and drive change for Texas's children and has become the premier resource on children's issues among major media outlets, public officials, and the non-profit sector. In addition, the organization has significantly strengthened its voice in the community through a weekly radio show, regular appearances on television and radio broadcasts, and partnerships with newspapers.
Having witnessed a need for policy changes in the area of human trafficking, Children At Risk has worked with public officials at the state capitol to strengthen the anti-trafficking laws in Texas since 2007. In addition, Children At Risk has worked collaboratively with others to launch a broad educational and outreach campaign to combat human trafficking.[5]
To raise awareness on child trafficking in Texas, Children At Risk' has:
Children At Risk researched, drafted, and helped to pass several key pieces of legislation to strengthen the laws surrounding human trafficking. As a result, Texas law has:
Children At Risk continues to research and draft legislation following recommendations from Shared Hope International.
Children At Risk has proposed that the Texas Legislature require schools with student populations of 80% or more living at or below 185% of the federal poverty level to provide free school breakfast to all interested students. The 80% threshold is useful as it allows school districts to utilize the "severe need'' designation and receive a higher federal reimbursement rate per student meal. Schools that serve 60% or more of their meals at a free or reduced price are classified as "severe need". This threshold also allows economies of scale to lower the per-meal cost provided to students, due to the higher volume of meal production and consumption. In the 2010 school year, all "severe need" schools received the following federal reimbursement: $0.26 for each paid breakfast, $1.76 for each free breakfast and $1.46 for each reduced-price breakfast. The price of breakfast for students varies across the state from 20 cents for reduced price meals to $1.25 for full price.
Using a combination of research, analysis, and public policy, the Public Education team at CHILDREN AT RISK works to raise awareness about underperforming charter schools in Houston. While Children At Risk has recognized charter schools like KIPP and YES Prep among the top ten public schools in the city of Houston, clusters of low-performing charters are consistently found at the bottom of the annual public school rankings. The policy team at CHILDREN AT RISK is committed to ensuring that high-quality charter schools proliferate and that low-performing charters are held accountable.
The purpose of Children At Risk's school rankings is to both provide a tool to parents and students regarding the quality of local schools and to give information to campuses and districts on how they perform relative to their peers. To evaluate the performance of public schools across the state, Children At Risk examines sixteen indicators at the high school level, twelve at the middle school level, and sixteen at the elementary level.
Children At Risk ranks schools across the state of Texas and Alabama.
The Juvenile Justice system should be ensuring public safety and rehabilitating juveniles by implementing evidence-based programs in order to reduce further criminal behavior and to help juveniles flourish into productive citizens. Children At Risk has started numerous initiatives to ensure that the rights of juvenile delinquents in the Texas and Houston are not being infringed upon. Children At Risk has helped establish mental health and drug courts and attempted to reduce adult certifications and misdemeanor Class C ticketing.
Children At Risk conducted the first independent evaluation of the four Juvenile Mental Health Courts in Texas. The report provided a comparison of quality, cost, and effectiveness of services compared to incarceration, best practices utilized and methods of creation and expansion to provide a road map for counties to establish or improve current juvenile mental health courts. The research has provided needed data for child advocates to maintain or increase funding for community-based mental health services.
Children At Risk also hosted two events, in Dallas and Houston, to educate community members on the topic of Juvenile Mental Health. This brought together mental health experts, state and local stakeholders, community members, advocates, and school representatives to discuss Juvenile Mental Health.
Children At Risk drafted and advocated for a bill to increase the time for reviewing juveniles in order for the decision to try them as adults to be better informed. When children are unnecessarily transferred to adult courts they frequently suffer more than if they were tried as juveniles.
Class C tickets are often issued in schools for behavioral problems such as disturbing class or skipping school. Misdemeanor charges are harsh penalties for such minor issues. Children At Risk is working to reduce the prevalence of Class C ticketing in schools by conducting interviews with students, parents, and teachers, and collaborating with key organizations working on the issue across the state of Texas.
The Center for Parenting and Family Well-Being advocates to change the way parent education and child abuse prevention is approached in the greater Houston community through prevention and population-based strategies. The Center believes that organizations across different sectors should come together to create an infrastructure that strives to provide all parents in the Houston metropolitan area with effective and accessible parent education. The Center for Parenting and Family Well-Being does not provide direct services. Instead, it collaborates with and supports organizations that provide direct services to ensure that the infrastructure, policies, and partnerships are in place to improve the availability of evidence-based parent education.
Children At Risk also encourages greater focus on the unique needs of Latino children across all sectors, including fostering greater academic focus through the first edition of its online, open-access, peer-reviewed Journal of Applied Research on Children.
A selected list of Children At Risk's legislative priorities for the 83rd Texas Legislature are below. The full list can be found here.
Children At Risk's biennial book Growing Up In Houston: Assessing the Quality of Life of Our Children contains research that enables organizations to better serve the children in Houston. Growing Up In Houston contains comprehensive statistics that address the whole child. Our expert contributors evaluate the current state of Houston's kids and discuss best practices for ensuring that we make Houston a better place to raise a family. Organizations use our data to design stronger programs that more effectively address Houston's needs. Over 130 data points are included in the book covering topics from teen suicide and mental health to lead poisoning and high school dropout rates. The biennial book contains policy suggestions at the end of every chapter so that lawmakers can see how to proactively make Houston and Texas a better place for children.
The Journal of Family Strengths (JFS), formerly the Family Preservation Journal, is an open-access, peer-reviewed online journal edited by the Children At Risk Institute in partnership with the Center for Family Strengths at the University of Houston–Downtown, and published by the Houston Academy of Medicine-Texas Medical Center Library. The Journal's goal is to facilitate family, worker, supervisor, educator and agency interchange, to promote research and evaluation, and to disseminate information for best practices that support family centered practice. These services may include: child welfare, mental health (wraparound), substance abuse, juvenile justice, developmentally challenged, schools, health care, elders, and other social welfare services. The Journal provides a forum for practitioners, program designers, administrators, researchers, and educators to present and critically review programs, policies, practice methods, and research findings from a family strengths perspective. The Journal is intended to positively impact the form and type of services provided to families. Research and case studies from those receiving and delivering services is encouraged.
The Journal is published annually and led by Co-Editors-in-Chief Alvin Sallee, ACSW, LISW, Angelo Giardino, MD, PhD, MPH, Robert Sanborn, EdD, and an Editorial Board of senior-level academics with expertise in family strengthening.
Launched in the Fall of 2010, the Journal of Applied Research on Children: Informing Policy for Children At Risk (JARC) is an open-access, peer-reviewed online journal edited by CHILDREN AT RISK and published by The Houston Academy of Medicine – Texas Medical Center Library. JARC serves to inform policy affecting children by providing applicable research to the public, child advocates, and policy-makers on timely children's issues. JARC seeks to encourage academics to focus on the needs of children and make practical children-focused research available and accessible to the public for use and dissemination. The Journal is published biannually and led by co-Editors-in-Chief Angelo Giardino, MD, PhD, MPH and Robert Sanborn, EdD, Associate Editors Christopher Greeley, MD, FAAP and Ruth SoRelle, MPH, and an editorial board of senior-level academics from higher education institutions across Texas.
Growing Up in America is Children At Risk's weekly radio show produced by KPFT Pacifica Radio. The show airs live from 3-4 PM CST every Monday. The show features weekly discussions on the status of American children, public policy, and politics. Dr. Bob Sanborn, Founder and CEO of Children at Risk, co-hosts the show alongside Children at Risk's Policy Director, Mandi Kimball. Guest speakers include public officials, child advocates, and experts on a large variety of issues affecting American children. Topics addressed on the show include, but are not limited to, human trafficking, food insecurity, education, healthcare, childhood obesity, and immigration.
The Public Policy and Law Center (PPLC) was established in 2006 as an outgrowth of CHILDREN AT RISK's longtime research and advocacy work and in response to the American Bar Association's appeal to the private bar, "[to] get involved and use its legal expertise on behalf of Houston's children." The mission of Children At Risk's Public Policy and Law Center is to improve the lives of children across Texas through:
Led by a Law Advisory Board of over 35 attorneys from the legal and business community and a Public Policy Advisory Board of over 25 leaders from the public policy and non-profit community, and staffed with a dedicated and creative group of attorneys and public policy analysts, the PPLC has been tremendously successful in its first years of operation.
The Center to End the Trafficking and Exploitation of Children (CETEC), the only center of its kind in Texas, was established in 2007 to combat domestic minor sex trafficking through education, the convening of nonprofits and community leaders, and non-partisan advocacy to curb demand and support victims.
In order to increase the identification of victims, Children At Risk is committed to raising awareness and educating the community on the trafficking and exploitation of children through significant media outreach, continuing legal education conferences, and annual State Summits. Children At Risk also authored The State of Human Trafficking in Texas to provide a comprehensive resource on the scope of the problem, services available and needed for victims, and the policies surrounding this issue. Children At Risk is a nationally respected leader in reforming state policy on this issue, and is currently focused on increasing the protection for victims and penalties for individuals who benefit from trafficking. Children At Risk played an integral role in the establishment of Freedom Place, the first safe house for victims of domestic minor sex trafficking in Texas. Through its Center to End the Trafficking and Exploitation of Children, Children At Risk has:
The Center for Parenting and Family Well-Being (CPFWB) advocates to change the way parent education and child abuse prevention is approached in the greater Houston community through prevention and population-based strategies. The Center believes that organizations across sectors should come together to create an infrastructure that strives to provide all parents in our community with effective and accessible parent education. The Center for Parenting and Family Well-Being is action-oriented and advocates for change through:
The Center for Parenting and Family Well-Being is supported by an Academic Advisory Council of six leading academics, pediatricians, and public health practitioners who are experts in child maltreatment prevention, cost-effectiveness research, evaluation, family demography, policy, evidence-based programs, and dissemination. The Academic Advisory Council oversees the Center's research activities.
Children At Risk is funded through grants, private donations, and several fundraising events put on throughout the year.
Stand Up for Houston's Children benefits Children At Risk's Public Policy and Law Center – the only such center in Texas devoted to the legal needs of children. An evening of high-energy fun with cocktails, a live auction and dinner served against a backdrop of live comedy entertainment.

Slow and steady won the race. World of Warcraft is the most critically and commercially successful MMO of all time and Blizzard has achieved the feat with a merciless and measured quality control philosophy. Content is either excellent or not fit for release.
But the games industry is slowly deserting the subscription business and the attempt to win customers through undeniable quality. Blizzard may be king, but the tribe is going elsewhere. At an increasing rate, MMOs are being published unfinished, often playable at no charge, and rapidly updated and improved based on fan feedback.
Particularly in Asia, the established MMOs are updated on a weekly basis with new rules, items and challenges available. The value of this model is that player retention tends to be far greater when updates occur so rapidly.
World of Warcraft, which once had more than 12 million subscribers, is gradually declining in popularity. Players surge back into servers when the yearly expansion comes around; they gobble up the content, but then they leave again.
Blizzard's best chance to retain players is to create content much faster, but with its peerless standards for quality, can it even achieve this? Can Blizzard rush art?
We speak to John Lagrave, Blizzard's lead game producer, and lead encounter designer Ion Hazzikostas, to debate this issue.
CVG:You're raising the cap in World of Warcraft to level 90, though people are consuming your content faster than you are creating it. What sort of design challenges does this present?
LAGRAVE: Oh lots. We have both ends of it; on one hand the majority of our population is on Level 85 and they are going to race through to 90, and you want that to be a meaningful experience for them. On the other hand, you have to look at the person that's never played World of Warcraft before, and they have to climb up ninety levels; that's days and days and days of work, so what do we need to do to make content from level one to 85 that's reasonable for them?
So you still focus on developing content for potential new customers?
LAGRAVE: Oh absolutely. In this expansion we have introduced the Pandaren who have their own new starting zone, and we want to tell their story, but we also recognise the fact that some people may have never played this game, so we have to factor that in too. In fact we have tweaked a lot of the tutorial for new players to understand the basics better.
There are obviously a lot of MMO studios, particularly across Asia, that take a completely different approach and provide weekly, sometimes even daily, updates to their games. Do you think this is ever going to be a route that Blizzard will go down?
HAZZIKOSTAS: We are committed to trying to release updates more frequently than we have, though I feel that it's possible for content to come too frequently. First and foremost, content has to be of the high quality that we set for ourselves and the players. That requires time, iteration, testing, refinement and polish. That's not something you can short-cut.
Also, the model for our game is generally progression-based; you are upgrading your character and you're improving your gear. If you release content too quickly you make your older stuff obsolete before players really have the chance to fully experience it.
Not that we ever could update quickly, but supposing hypothetically that we did update content every week, I don't think that would be best for players. I don't think that's something to get the most enjoyment out of.

Thales Air Systems Division Selects FloEFD.Pro Engineering Fluid Dynamics Software Embedded in Pro/ENGINEER
March 2008
Thales missile electronics facility in Basingstoke has chosen Flomerics' FloEFD.Pro, the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire-embedded engineering fluid dynamics software.

"We created a short list after an initial investigation of available tools. Upon completing a series of benchmarking exercises, FloEFD.Pro's ease of use, speed and accuracy led to its selection over and above the candidates benchmarked. In addition to the technology, I think it is also important to mention the support services, which in the eight years I have been using Flomerics software has always been excellent -- both in terms of speed and quality of response."
"We are very proud of the quality of our support services and I am very pleased to hear that Thales enjoys working with our team" added Gary Carter, Flomerics CEO. "As a matter of fact, 98% of our customers in the electronics industry recommend our software and services to others."

'Fiscal cliff' deal will push up unemployment
Posted By admin On January 2, 2013 @ 10:43 am In Money Watch | Comments Disabled
Jan 2, 2013
Forecasters expect the U.S. Labor Department on Friday to report the economy added 155,000 jobs in December — substantially less than is needed to pull unemployment down to acceptable levels.
The tax-and-spending package passed by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives provides little prospects of improvement, as the U.S. economy continues to suffer from insufficient demand and will continue growing at a subpar 2 percent a year.
Factors contributing to weak demand and slow jobs creation are the huge trade deficits with China and other Asian exporters and on oil.
However, on the supply side, increased business regulations, rising healthcare costs and mandates imposed by Obamacare, and now higher taxes on small businesses discourage investments that raise productivity and competitiveness and create jobs.

Diary LyricsArtist: Useless I.D.Album: No Vacation from the World of endless moments I thought we once shared. An open book, read every single page. Naive enough to think that help is on the way. Rise and shine a day awaits, watching clear skies turn to grey. It's a dead end road and I want out, there's no return. Let me know when will it end? If only you were my only friend, I´d be fine. A direction split right from the start. I'm picking up the pieces to this broken heart. Move over and make room for someone else. Mabye a smile will find itself right on your face again. Another empty sleeping bag. A broken speaker plays out loud. An Elliot Smith song for those who can't move on and on. A tour to write you home about of how I'm doing. Pretty sad. You're not here and all my letters are lost in the mailbox for good

Property tax measure promises the impossible
Posted By The Denver Post On April 9, 2012 @ 11:02 am In Colorado Government,Education | 2 Comments
So Initiative 77 "aims to end property taxes by 2017," according to an article in The Sunday Denver Post.
Now, there are good arguments for why property taxes are undesirable compared, say, to consumption taxes. But like it or not, Colorado cities and schools depend on them. So what's interesting about this proposed measure, for which signatures must still be gathered, is how disconnected from reality one provision is.
It promises property taxes will be eliminated painlessly even if voters refuse to approve new taxes by the end of 2016 to offset their loss. In that case, the amendment says, the resulting cuts in spending "shall not affect primary and secondary education, local law enforcement agencies or fire protection."
Since school districts impose their own property levies, however, fulfilling that obligation will be utterly impossible without new revenues from somewhere. How was this language ever approved?

Lundi 7 mai
My job as operations manager wants me to some of our offices in the United Kingdom, and from April to December last year had a lot of time at our facility in Derby to spend. The director had suddenly gone out and had a lot of real problems who had been hiding, and have now come to light. The road was really struggling and place as a figurehead Lisa, the store managers short -term representative, while the problems have been resolved and a new appointment is made. Lisa was 34 years (8 years younger than me), mother of one and discreet, but we had a fantastic well-toned figure, nice boobs, natural red hair and a sense of humor cracks. We always had a good relationship in the past, and we flirted and joked about all sorts of sordid events or episodes. It was obvious that at the time, would really be playing in the field and not surprised - it was like talking to one of the boys. The atmosphere in the store was dark, and the two of us work not only well take things lit up, because of the fun we had with a group. as a matter of course that he would stay for more than an hour to tie things - and really nothing else. Then one afternoon I received a call pornmade Lisa at around 16 30 and it was obvious that something was wrong. I asked what was wrong and said he would, but only after 5pm, when all others are. If the industry is clear, I asked what was happening, and pornmade it turned out that her husband was having an affair with the woman before she would have married, but he always kept in contact with it. She had an affair 12 months before and after a confrontation with him, him, and promised faithfully that he never saw her again. told me to call her sister 4. 30 saying she had been out of this house was John womans. He says that she really became angry and began cursing and calling him every name they can get their clawsue a. I'm not normally a tactile person, but I got up and told him to calm pornmade down pornmade and generally agree that an ass is another person when he got a woman like her. mourn suddenly stopped and turned away from me and looked me in the eyes of a split second. Then he dropped to his knees, unzipped my fly and pulled out my penis, what remained was very weak, but I kept them. That led him eagerly to her mouth and started sucking the head of my penis and I slowly pulls the same time. I was rock hard in seconds. I opened my belt and slid my pants down, and has kept his head and pulled pornmade him towards the measurement, I began to fuck her mouth. for the moment had not said a word, but I told her to stop her when she stood up, to remove her blouse. Without a word, got up and left the room. Two minutes later he returned to the office on the first floor and left when she came to me. 'I closed the pornmade door so that nobody can come and now I'm gonna fuck you rotten ! ' in secondsWe were strong bollock naked and kissing like crazy when pushed to the table. He sat on the edge, while still a kiss pornmade and began to lick and suck her tits. 'No shit - bite ' was the statement, and I was more than happy to oblige. to put them back on the table ( after throwing papers on the floor) and started licking her wet pussy 'Suck my clit -. Now,' he ordered, and started coming in. Never directly away my never heard a cry of women both -. I was so desperate to This was my signal - we got to the edge of the table and hit my cock until it pornmade stops right there, in which stage, which is back, and obviously there are still up . Her arms around my shoulders, so I grabbed her ass and lifted her up and leaned back and begin their solid powder back and forth on my dick. you which thus became the one who never takes too long, and when I was around, I said, 'Now that the load this fall tHen you crazy bitch dick? '' I want to drink - they come in my pornmade mouth ' and that's where I went, leaving on the table pornmade and shot my cum in her mouth - plus the first ejaculation, which landed on the chin We. sat down, still naked on two chairs in the office, and after seeing how much he had enjoyed, asked what I was doing about John ' Nothing -. I'll come back and tell him everything ! ' turned out that the story was true about their relationship, but has respected the wishes of Lisa and stayed away, despite Lisa suggests that vibrate. You are not interested, but. Said I wanted to say was John who had made the call....... and see another woman again now -. pornmade Lisa with the permission of and I - I 'm just a sex toy, each time Derby...... I go life is a bitch is not so!

ANTM Recap: Bottled Beauties & Battles for Bookings
The models pose for The Dream Come True Fragrance
The race towards the finish line intensified as the last standing American model battled it out with the 2 remaining British models on America's Next Top Model: British Invasion. The British Invasion would have been in full swing if it had not of been for Alisha's shocking decision to leave the competition last week. The shocked and confused final 3 made their way back to their presidential suite at the MGM Macau, where they were still in disbelief over Alisha's self-elimination, but were extremely happy to have made it to the final 3.
The next day, Judge Kelly Cutrone welcomed the models on to the Star Ferry in Hong Kong and told the models that they would be going on go sees with 4 of Hong Kong's top designers. Kelly then told the models that not only would they be booking but banking as well. For every go see that was booked, the model would be receiving 1000 Hong Kong dollars. Kelly sweetened the deal by letting the models know that they would each have their very own guide to help them navigate Hong Kong. But these were no ordinary tour guides; they were also top Hong Kong male models.
Sophie's 1st go see was with designer William Tang who loved the way that Sophie modeled his clothing. William was not impressed with Laura's walk and told her she needed more practice on her walk. William loved Annaliese's personality and walk and he told her she had a very special flare that radiated off the catwalk. The next go see for Sophie was with designer Gregory Derham and the House of Siren. Gregory thought that Sophie was sophisticated and elegant and even described her as perfect. Annaliese was first to meet with designer Henry Lau. Henry said he would not be booking Annaliese because she was not cool and sexy enough. Laura was first to meet with Nude Is Rude designer Marisa Zeman. Laura was once again told that she needed to work on her walk. Gregory Derham loved how Annaliese committed to the costume she was modeling. Gregory also loved Laura but also felt she needed a stronger walk. Henry Lau felt that Sophie had the perfect look and confidence for his brand. The models meet Judge Kelly back at the pier to find out how they did. Laura booked 2 out of 4 go sees, Annaliese booked 3 and Sophie booked all 4 and earned 4000 Hong Kong dollars which is almost 500 American dollars.
The next day creative director Jay Manuel told the models that they would be shooting an image campaign for the America's Next Top Model fragrance, Dream Come True. Jay let the models know that whoever wins America's Next Top Model, will have todays photo used worldwide to promote the fragrance. Jay then let the models know what the high fashion concept of the shoot would be. They would be posing inside a huge life size bottle of the Dream Come True fragrance. While in hair and makeup, Jay introduced the models to the Dream Come True creator, Ben Bennet. Ben reminded the models of the importance of an ad campaign for a fragrance.
Sophie was up first and brought her bubbly personality to set. Jay described her performance as magical and pretty. Annalises was reminded to keep a light and happy attitude during her shoot. She failed to do so as soon as she stepped into the bottle. Ben encouraged her to keep on smiling throughout the shoot. American bad ass Laura had a very hard time trying to be girly and happy for the shoot. What started off ass a dreamy shoot quickly turned into an over sexual shoot. Jay had to constantly remind Laura to tone down the sexiness. Jay said that Laura's performance might knock her out of the competition.
Tyra sniffed and welcomed the models to the judging panel and introduces fellow judges Nigel Barker and Kelly Cutrone. Up first to be judged was Laura. Nigel called her photo ethereal and feminine. Kelly said it looked more like an ad for plastic surgery then a fragrance ad. Annaliese was next to be judged. Kelly told her she was very proud of her and was really won over by Annaliese's personality. Nigel said the photo was good but she didn't look like a model. Sophie was told that her photo was stunning and extremely youthful. The judges had nothing but positive feedback from Sophie.
Best photo of the week and first finalist was Sophie, leaving Laura and Annaliese in the bottom 2. Tyra told Laura that the judges loved her uniqueness but at the same time were very nervous that she was a one trick pony who could only rock the tuff rocker look. Tyra then told Annaliese that as the weeks went on her pictures improved. Tyra also commended her on booking almost all of her go sees even though she is not as tall as other models. Tyra handed Laura her photo and told her she was still in the running and a finalist to become America's Next Top Model.

John Rosemond is a renowned child psychologist who has helped millions of parents learn to raise their children and remain sane. In Teen-Proofing, he tackles the challenges of raising a teenager with his trademark user-friendly, humorous, and commonsense style. Rosemond lays out a perfectly sound and logical case for recognizing the realities of the teen-parent relationship, forming the foundation, and parenting with the "Long Rope Principle." In short, the author demonstrates how Mom and Dad can avoid the pitfalls of becoming dictatorial "Control Freaks," skirt the potholes of turning into permissive "Wimps," and enjoy the freedom and rewards of parenting in a controlled (but not controlling) and relaxed manner. Teenagers, Rosemond readily admits, can be a challenge. But infusing young adults with a sense of personal responsibility, then showing them the results of good and bad choices, is a goal every parent can achieve.

Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH review
LGA1155, ATX, Intel Z77 chipset, supports: 2nd/3rd Generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7
The Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH ATX motherboard is one of the few on the market to have Thunderbolt ports, the high-speed transfer and display standard that's most commonly found on Apple Macs.
Alongside its pair of Thunderbolt ports, the motherboard has six rear USB3 ports, plus a header for another two, along with three USB headers. There's also a PS/2 port, which is rather unusual to see nowadays, plus the usual integrated graphics outputs (HDMI, DVI, RGB and DisplayPort) and both digital and analogue audio outputs at the back. There are also headers at for an optical S/PDIF input and a serial port. Audio is supplied by a Realtek ALC892 codec.
The motherboard has three PCI-E x16 slots, the lowest of which is actually a x4 slot that only works if you're using an Ivy Bridge processor and is designed for expansion cards rather than graphics. The main PCI-E x16 graphics slot runs at full speed, but this drops to x8 if the second slot is populated in dual-card SLI or CrossFireX mode, as they share bandwidth. There are also three PCI-E x1 slots, one of which will be blocked by most graphics cards, and a PCI slot.
There are two SATA3 connectors and four SATA2 connectors, one of which becomes inactive if you instead use the mSATA connector further up the motherboard. You may want to do this, as mSATA is a useful way to add a small SSD for caching to improve hard disk performance.
The motherboard's performance was very slightly above average for the Z77 chipset, producing an overall score of 102 in our benchmark tests. However, unlike rival boards, the Z77X-UP4 TH doesn't have an automatic overclock option either on the board or in its UEFI interface. The UEFI itself is fairly easy to use, although not as glossy as some of its rivals. There are plenty of options to configure and overclock your system, but no handy pull-down menus, so you'll have to enter everything manually.
At a bit over £150, the Z77X-UP4 TH is inexpensive as far as Thunderbolt motherboards go, but if you don't need that technology, the excellent Asus Maximus Y Gene is a better choice.

There's a few things it takes in the fashion photography business to get to the top of your trade - obviously the number one requirement is simply the skills and the eye to take beautiful pictures... but there's a load of factors that simply have to fall together to make an editorial or campaign truly great. Of course the factor I'm about to mention is - the model. A great model can take a shoot from being average to amazing - and the most amazing models are not really that easy to get a hold of - unless you're already well established and known as a photographer. Once you're big enough to get the best stylists, make-up artists, models and the most incredible locations - you're on the path to being very successful!
I've had the fortunate pleasure in my career of working both in front and behind the lens. I know models and modelling well - and the value of a 'model muse'. I've been lucky to shoot a few girls in my career who I'd deem 'Model Muses' - those being Laura Gorun, Bambi Northwood-Blyth, Anya Konstantinova and Rachel Grasso.... Now - I can add Jessica Hart to the list. Who is by the way... A supermodel!!! When I found out I was going to get the chance to shoot her I did have a quiet little freak out. How on earth was I going to capitalise on this great opportunity!? I had one hour to shoot Jess, her own clothes, streetstyle. The location, George st in Sydney - one of the busiest places in town! So I hired an enormous and very expensive lens, planned the light and got to snapping. I'm so happy with the result! I feel I've reached an awesome milestone - shoot a supermodel. So grateful to Portmans who arranged for me to have this time to shoot Jess - who by the way is the absolute sweetest person and total bombshell in the flesh. Jess is in town as part of her role as Portmans new 'Girl on Top'. So deserving!

Walgreen Co. has tapped former McDonald's Inc. chief executive officer James Skinner to serve as its new nonexecutive chairman.
Inside This Issue - News
DEERFIELD, Ill. – Walgreen Co. has tapped former McDonald's Inc. chief executive officer James Skinner to serve as its new nonexecutive chairman.
Skinner, who has served on Walgreens' board of directors since 2005, succeeds Alan McNally in that post.
McNally served as the Walgreens board's first lead director, beginning in January 2008. He later served as chairman and acting CEO, and has served as nonexecutive chairman since 2009. He also was CEO of Harris Bank from 1993 to 2002 and chairman of the board of Harris Financial Corp. from 1998 to 2006.
He will continue to serve on Walgreens' board.
"Al's leadership on Walgreens' board has helped to move this company and our iconic brand through an historic transformation and into a new century of service, success and growth potential," Walgreens president and CEO Greg Wasson says. "I have truly benefited from and appreciated his sound counsel and advice during my three and a half years as CEO. The value of his service to our board is — and I know will continue to be — immeasurable."
Skinner served as McDonald's CEO beginning in November 2004, and prior to that he held a variety of leadership positions at the company. In addition to Walgreens, Skinner serves on the board of directors of Illinois Tool Works Inc. He retired as McDonald's CEO in April.
"Jim Skinner's long and successful record in retail and customer experience, both across the nation and around the world, will be enormously helpful at a time when Walgreens is launching with Alliance Boots the first global pharmacy-led health and well-being enterprise," Wasson says.

Then it was time to fixate on the audio dimension to the project. Up front is the venerable JVC KD-AVX77 single DIN headunit for DVD playback as well as Bluetooth and iPod connectivity. The signals are sent over to a JL Audio HD750.1 mono amp to drive a quartet of JL Audio 10W3V3 10-inch subs in a sealed enclosure. The mids and highs are amplified by a JL Audio HD600.4 4-channel amp. Extreme Performance used JL Audio CS-650 6.5-inch speakers up front and the JL Audio CS-650X 6.5-inch speakers in the rear. The entire project is wired with Tsunami power, ground and speaker wire and is fused by Stinger. In the rear, the video signal is also relayed to a Gryphon Mobile 17-inch LCD screen for the rear occupants to get a show.
Sound, style and plenty of attitude is not something Volkswagens of yesteryear are known for. However, Sampson is out to change all that with this project and its stablemates a '63 VW Bug and a '56 VW Oval Window Coupe.

Evernote World: How a Wedding Planner Uses Evernote
I am a serial multi-tasker with the chronic inability to do only one thing at a time. For this reason, it is common that a sudden (and useful) idea hits me while I am in full swing working on something completely different. Over time I learned that the only way to transform this handicap into a resource is to have a way to capture these ideas quickly and at any time. In 2009, I started working on my own in online and offline content, advertising and design strategies, and wedding planning from A to Z with my company fatamadrina (fairy godmother). Read more

Glasgow, Scotland | Recommended Hotels
Best hotels in Glasgow, Scotland: Top budget accommodation (£)
Renfrew Street in the north-east of the city centre has a whole string of near-interchangeable B&Bs clustered along it – single rooms in particular, are generally dirt cheap. Of these, the Charing Cross Guest House (310 Renfrew Street) and the Victorian House Hotel (212 Renfrew Street) offer the best value. Both have budget ensuite doubles – try getting one of the refurbished rooms at the latter as first choice. The best steal, however, is one of the £29 advance online booking rooms at the standardized but well located Premier Inn George Square (187 George Street).
Best hotels in Glasgow, Scotland: Best affordable stays (££)
The new Citizen M (60 Renfrew Street) is an eye-popper, with pod-like bedrooms, bizarre furniture all over the lobby and bright red Google map carpets in the corridors. Mark's Hotel (110 Bath Street) isn't quite as out there, but the bold magentas in the wallpaper and bedding are very much a love or hate affair. Love it, and the rooms have character to go with free wifi and all the expected amenities.
Top value is to be found at the Fraser Suites (1 Albion Street) with spacious studio apartments available for from £65 a night.
Best hotels in Glasgow, Scotland: Recommended luxury hotels
The stylish-but-fun Malmaison (278 West George Street, £££) is in a converted church, but plays up a sinful vibe with massage oil in the bathrooms and plush furnishings. Abode (129 Bath Street, ££££) is more impressive for the grand building it's in – the former home of British PM Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman – than the rooms themselves, but it's still a good upscale option beyond the vintage lifts. Saint Jude's (190 Bath Street, £££) has distinctive, instantly likeable rooms with all the requisite high tech gadgetry and nice freebies such as sweets, crayons and herbal teas.
Best in town is the Hotel Du Vin (1 Devonshire Gardens £££££) in the West End. It feels like a high class country retreat, each room has an individual character but is sumptuously decorated, and little extras like the in-suite golf putting set are great. Dalmeny Park (Lochlibo Road, £££££) is the country house real deal, but feels far more staid and is right on the outskirts. Blythswood Square (11 Blythswood Square, £££££) is the new, city centre pretender to the throne with an in-house spa – the Italian marble bathrooms and Harris tweed sofas are very impressive, as are the ultra-comfy beds.
Glasgow hotel prices
Price brackets are based, roughly, on the starting rates that can be found in low season.
£ = under £40 a night
££ = under £80 a night
£££ = under £120 a night
££££ = under £160 a night
£££££ = over £160 a night.
The Glasgow hotels above have been personally inspected – and recommended as being amongst the best in their price bracket – by travel journalist David Whitley. To look for other hotels in Glasgow, try an Glasgow hotel search with our booking partner, Ebookers.com.

Nanotechnology in Storing Electrical Energy
The usual batteries used in hybrid electrical cars and solar panels for storing energy though cost effective and time bound, their potential will not satisfy the casual usage. Because the electrical power stored in batteries are inadequate and don't hold enough energy. Nanotechnology solves this problem by introducing millions of nanostructures with identical shapes to transport energy. The energy transfer is done by electrons as that of normal batteries but, in this case electrons are transferred rapidly between large surface areas from where they have been stored. These materials use unique combinations of materials and by the combinations of behaviors like self-assembly, self-assignment and self-alignment.

Latest technology in Microsoft
Auto Collage 2008 is the name of the latest image processing software from Microsoft which helps anyone creates collages. Like most Microsoft software's this computer technology will not come free, there is a 30 day trial version ready to be downloaded at company's website. This latest technology uses automatic face detection mechanism, which is a gargantuan task in itself, to organize photos neatly in a single beautiful collage. The main hurdle behind this technology is to create an automatic procedure through which software can create a visually appealing collage using a collection of images as input. And the main part is the output collage must be so as to represent the main theme of all the photos. Here is where this new technology from Microsoft shines. It takes your photos and combines them into a beautiful collage in a jiffy. Go and try it out for yourself.
