Shrimp Risotto
by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, October 15, 2012
Risotto is a classic Italian dish known for its creamy texture and rich flavor. But eaters beware, that's surely not an innocent bowl of rice you're dealing with. I looked up the nutrition stats from some popular restaurants and check this out: One popular shrimp risotto had 620 calories, 30 grams of fat and 2,530 milligrams of sodium. A lobster risotto at a different restaurant had 1,103 calories and 25 grams of fat. Yet another joint served a cheese risotto with 1,280 calories and 110 grams of fat. Jeez, what kind of cheese are they using? Or is it the whole cow? The vegetable and lemon risottos scored a little better, but not much.
I found a way to lighten up shrimp risotto without taking away its creamy goodness. The key is quality ingredients and lots of stirring. I replace most of the fat with flavorful broth – beef broth. That might sound odd, but it gives the risotto a "surf and turf" quality. I add roasted garlic for depth of flavor and I stir frequently for the entire 20-25 minute cooking time (stirring encourages the starch and broth to create a creamy sauce).
For a more decadent version, fold in chunks of cooked lobster just before serving (let the mixture heat through if the lobster is cold).
Shrimp Risotto
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup diced shallots
2 tablespoons roasted garlic (sold in the produce section with the jarred fresh garlic)
1 cup Arborio (short grain) rice
4-5 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
1/2 pound raw medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup frozen petite peas (keep frozen until ready to use)
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Add the rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the rice becomes translucent. Add 1/2 cup of the broth and stir until the broth is absorbed. Add another 1/2 cup of the broth and cook until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the broth, 1/2 cup at a time (add the next 1/2 cup once the liquid from the previous 1/2 cup is absorbed) for 20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, stirring frequently.
Stir in the shrimp, peas and parmesan cheese and cook until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, the peas are warm and the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes. Add more broth if necessary.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

We previously identified human CAP, a homolog of the yeast adenylyl cyclase-associated protein. Previous studies suggest that the N-terminal and C-terminal domains of CAP have distinct functions. We have explored the interactions of human CAP with various proteins. First, by performing yeast two-hybrid screens, we have identified peptides from several proteins that interact with the C-terminal and/or the N-terminal domains of human CAP. These peptides include regions derived from CAP and BAT3, a protein with unknown function. We have further shown that MBP fusions with these peptides can associate in vitro with the N-terminal or C-terminal domains of CAP fused to GST. Our observations indicate that CAP contains regions in both the N-terminal and C-terminal domains that are capable of interacting with each other or with themselves. Furthermore, we found that myc-epitope-tagged CAP coimmunoprecipitates with HA-epitope-tagged CAP from either yeast or mammalian cell extracts. Similar results demonstrate that human CAP can also interact with human CAP2. We also show that human CAP interacts with actin, both by the yeast two-hybrid test and by coimmunoprecipitation of epitope-tagged CAP from yeast or mammalian cell extracts. This interaction requires the C-terminal domain of CAP, but not the N-terminal domain. Thus CAP appears to be capable of interacting in vivo with other CAP molecules, CAP2, and actin. We also show that actin co-immunoprecipitates with HA-CAP2 from mammalian cell extracts.

Danger's price tag: Reportedly $500 million
While it's no Yahoo, mobile phone maker Danger apparently fetched quite a steep price from Microsoft.
Microsoft didn't say how much it was paying for Danger when it announced the deal on Monday. However, according to Om Malik, the price tag for the company was $500 million.
That's more than $1 million per employee for the company, which has 294 workers. However, the price tag makes some sense when you consider the company has taken in $225 million from investors and had been pondering an IPO.

Artist's Never-Before-Seen Photos on Display at Chelsea Gallery
By Mathew Katz on September 12, 2011 2:14pm
CHELSEA — In a neighborhood bursting with art galleries, it can be a challenge to stand out from the dozens of others lining the streets of West Chelsea. But where other galleries are showing new designs, one new art space is banking on the lesser-known legacy of a renowned artist.
Opening this week, 'Robert Rauschenberg Photographs 1949-1962' shows off the artist's early forays into photography. The exhibit features Rauschenberg's photographic experiments scrolling on a video screen that will be visible to passersby on the street.
Rauschenberg, who died in 2008, rose to prominence in the 1960s for his paintings and sculptures, often combining the two mediums and incorporating photography into those works. The photos on display have never been shown to the public before, and will also be available in a new book on the artist's time as a photographer.
The exhibition is one of the first at the new Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Project Space at 455 W. 19th St.
The gallery is housed in Rauschenberg's former art warehouse and, throughout the fall, it will host numerous programs honoring Rauschenberg's works and fostering local art.
The photography exhibition begins Sept. 16th.

Steelers-Jets Key Matchups
Steelers-Jets Key Matchups
http://www.timesonline.com/sports/sp...-matchups.html By: Mike Bires Beaver County Times Saturday January 22, 2011 11:18 PM Jets corners vs. Steelers wideouts Darrelle Revis is a swindler. That's the word from Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward. According to Ward, opposing quarterbacks are too fearful of throwing toward "Revis Island." Ward respects Revis. Ward will even concede that Revis is the NFL's top cover corner. But "Yeah, he can be beat," Ward said. "I just think he swindles guys. You really don't want to mess around with him because, if you make a mistake, he's a game-changer. As a wide receiver, you get frustrated, but if the quarterback's not looking at you, there's nothing you can do about it." When the Steelers lost to the Jets on Dec. 19, Ward was basically shut down by Revis (two catches, 34 yards. After the game, Ward claims he was open at times, but Ben Roethlisberger didn't notice. Roethlisberger only threw in Ward's direction three times. Will Revis guard Ward man-to-man again tonight? The Jets aren't saying. Mike Wallace, the Steelers' other starting wideout, was targeted 10 times by Roethlisberger. Wallace finished with seven catches for 102 yards. Ferguson vs. Harrison Last year in Freeport, N.Y., village officials renamed one of their streets D'Brickashaw Ferguson Way. That honor was bestowed upon the Jets' left tackle for two reasons. First, his foundation provides scholarship money to students in need and financial aid to local food banks. Secondly, he's excellent on the field and has helped propel the Jets into the national spotlight. For much of tonight, two-time Pro Bowler Ferguson will be matched up against another Pro Bowler, James Harrison. It's a one-on-one matchup pitting two of the NFL's best players at their positions. After recording 10.5 sacks, six forced fumbles and two interceptions during the regular season, Harrison was phenomenal last week in a playoff win over Baltimore. Down 21-7 at halftime against the Ravens, defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau challenged his defense to make plays in the second half. Harrison did his part. On the first play in each of the Ravens' first two series in the third quarter, Harrison sacked Joe Flacco. Harrison, who had another sack in the fourth quarter, set the tone for the Steelers' comeback. Harrison had six solo tackles but no sacks in todays teams' earlier meeting. Steelers kick coverage vs. Smith It took the Jets just 12 seconds to set the tone on Dec. 19. That's the time it took for Brad Smith to return the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. The Steelers' kick coverage team insists it won't happen again. Could they employ the same tactic they did against the Browns? Fearful that renowned kick return specialist Josh Cribbs would make a big play, Shaun Suisham squibbed all eight of the Steelers' kickoffs. The strategy worked as the Browns averaged only 9.1 yards per return, and Cribbs averaged only 7.7 yards on three returns. However, squib kicks don't always work for the Steelers. Last week after the Steelers scored the go-ahead TD against the Ravens with 1:33 left to play, Suisham's squib kick was picked up by one of the blocking backs at the 40-yard line and returned 12 yards to the Steelers' 48-yard line. That could have been disastrous. This year during the regular season, only five kickoff returners scored multiple touchdowns. One of them was Smith, who ranked second in the league with a 28.6-yard average. For the most part this season, the Steelers have done well covering kicks. At least they've done much better than last year when they allowed four TDs on kickoff returns |

Re: Steelers-Jets Key Matchups
Ferguson can handle Harrison easily, but if Harrison blitzes the inside, Ferguson will go inside to block him, freeing up an outside blitz from that side. I see LeBeau doing this a lot.
I feel the only way the Jets win this game is if they have a special teams touchdown again, so hopefully the Steelers special teams have been running extra drills this week.

Re: Steelers-Jets Key Matchups
As far as WR CB, what would make me most nervous is Revis on Wallace and Cromartie on Sanders. This would take away speed and force Ward and Miller to step up. As long as Sanders doesn't get one of the top CBs, I'm cool.
As far as Harrison, I remember from the TV show that since Faneca left, they were struggling most at LG. Maybe they should run some twists where Keisel goes outside and Harrison goes against the LG. They could have fixed it by now but it was a serious weakness in the line.

Windy across many northwestern areas with local gales and rain at times, often heavy in western Scotland. Southeastern areas will be mostly dry with some sunshine. Much milder everywhere.
Updated at: 1452 on Tue 03 Mar 2015
Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Sunday 8 Mar 2015 to Tuesday 17 Mar 2015:
A northwest/southeast split is likely on Sunday. Wetter weather is expected in the northwest, with outbreaks of rain, perhaps heavy in western Scotland, slowly moving south, possibly reaching northern England by the end of the day before stalling. It will also be windy with gales possible in places. Drier, brighter, less windy conditions are likely in the southeast, with some sunny spells. It will become mild across the country and may be very mild in some eastern parts. From Monday, there looks to be a change to more settled conditions to most parts of the UK, however, occasional weather systems will likely bring cloudier interludes with rain to northern and western parts. There is uncertainty in temperatures, but they are more likely to be average for the time of year.
UK Outlook for Wednesday 18 Mar 2015 to Wednesday 1 Apr 2015:
It looks probable that pressure will remain higher than average across the UK at first. This would bring generally drier than average conditions, but it is likely that there could also be some cloud at times, with some occasional rain or showers particularly across the north. There are signs that a more unsettled regime will be established in late March with wetter than average conditions probably developing in the northwest, but still with drier weather in the southeast.

A midlife update that includes new electronic systems, transmission and engine for a major foam vehicle from the Specialist Utility Vehicles IPT part of the Directorate General Land Equipment has meant that its Electromagnetic Compatibility also needed retesting to the appropriate defence standard (Defence Standard 59-41). This work has just been completed by QinetiQ's Electromagnetic and Environmental Services (EMES) Group in its whole vehicle chamber at Chertsey in Surrey.
"Chertsey is just one of our Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) facilities that's becoming increasingly busy in meeting the ever growing civil and military requirement," explained Peter Tanner, MD for QinetiQ's System Evaluation Services. "As part of the overall update to the fire engine it had to be tested and re qualified to the Defence Standard to ensure it continues to meet operational electromagnetic environment and emission requirements both in UK and for overseas applications."
System susceptibility to external RF and RF emissions testing is critical for all vehicles and sub-systems to ensure they perform as expected at all times and don't themselves cause problems to other users. QinetiQ has been involved in developing procedures to determine the coupling between the external environment and the internal RF stresses on equipment for many years and its test facilities are widely used by both military and civilian customers alike.
QinetiQ's semi-anechoic screened EMC facility at Chertsey is UKAS accredited and equipped with a number of high power amplifiers and sensitive emissions measuring equipment. It measures 16m x 16m x 8m with 5m x 5m double access doors and has both extensive exhaust and heat extraction capabilities. Another unique feature of this facility is its 60 tonne floor loading capacity which means even the heaviest of the MODs current main Challenger II battle tanks can, and have, been accommodated.
A comprehensive range of internal and external UKAS accredited test facilities are available from QinetiQ capable of testing large systems and complete platforms/vehicles as well as small individual components or sub-systems. The facilities include: ten screened EMC test chambers, three of which are advanced capability reverberation chambers; two hybrid lined anechoic chambers; four screened instrumentation/control rooms; two mobile EMC test laboratories that can be taken to a customers' site to carry out the required tests; in addition to the whole vehicle semi-anechoic Chamber at Chertsey. An outdoor Radio Frequency Environment Generator (REG) is also available to test high power radiated susceptibility over a wide 5 MHz to 35 GHz frequency range and can accommodate most things including large civil and transport aircraft.
In addition to the EMC facilities QinetiQ also operates a diverse variety of test and evaluation facilities across various UK sites that deliver strategic capabilities of national importance and cost effectively deliver through life analysis of systems – from concept to disposal – to increase reliability and fitness for purpose. These include: environmental test facilities for whole vehicles/aircraft as well as equipment; various real-time simulators covering all types of vehicle; test and vibration rigs; land, sea and air test and evaluation ranges; a suite of human physiology testing facilities and specialist materials and physical testing capabilities.

Mayor Ray Nagin and a big entourage of Louisiana state and local officials are en route to Cuba today for a six-day trip to study the communist island's tightly-run hurricane preparedness system, according to the mayor's office.
The trip comes less than 24 hours after President Obama's visit to New Orleans, and whether or not he's carrying a message from the White House, it doesn't appear that U.S.-Cuba diplomacy is the purpose of the visit. Nagin's team, which includes the city's top fire, police, airport and health officials, will reportedly meet with counterparts from Cuban emergency management programs, as well as Cuba's Foreign Ministry and Culture Ministry.
There's been a lot of U.S. interest in Cuba's emergency management programs since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in 2005. While the island is frequently slammed by hurricanes, its official death tolls tend to be far below those of neighboring countries, mostly thanks to a highly-disciplined evacuation system that will go block-by-block to account for every resident. That success was held up in stark contrast to the humanitarian and logistical disaster of Katrina.
Cuba's approach probably would have saved a lot of lives in New Orleans if it had been in place when Katrina struck the city in 2005. But it's questionable whether the no-nonsense model would work in a major U.S. city, where stubborn homeowners might not be so willing to accept of the kind of stern mandatory evacuation policies that minimize loss of life here.

Where else can you walk a mile away from shore over the water? … Only in Vieques.
When you visit this may seem like a cool place but it's history and the reasons for construction were not in the best interest of the people or the island. The US Navy began construction of Rompeolas in 1941, with the purpose of creating a sea wall that extended from Vieques to the town of Ceiba on the main island of Puerto Rico where the Roosevelt Naval Base was located. The purpose was to build a massive base to house the US and British Fleet. The plans changed and Project Mosquito Pier was stopped in 1943 and never completed… Thank God.
While you are standing on the pier, it's certainly an interesting place. The sights of the flora are stunning, not a house in sight or building since these lands were expropriated from the people for Navy use and ironically it kept the island looking very natural.
More photos of Rompeolas, Vieques Island, Puerto Rico
On one side you'll see the wave action in the water and on the other side the waters are calm and clear making this spot popular for snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing. If you want to get some exercise, Rompeolas is a nice place for a morning run.
The plans are to build a new ferry terminal to Ceiba, a shorter route as compared to the route from Isabel Segunda to Fajardo.

Planting Magnolia Trees
Name: David Status: other Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1999
I am planning on planting a magnolia tree in my back yard. I live in El Paso Texas, dry and hot in the summer dry and cold in the winter. Will a magnolia tree survive a cold winter?
Magnolias survive winters in northern Illinois and eastern Nebraska, in my experience, but are vulnerable, it is really beyond their best range. Check with local extension agents or landscapers.
J. Elliott
I assume you refer to the southern magnolia.
I have planted one in my yard, which I believe is the northern part of its possible range. Our winters get down to -10 F at the lowest (this only occurs perhaps once or twice per decade.) I can say that I lost the entire canopy (but the tree was young so this was only the size of a basketball) twice due to ice storms and/or an extremely cold snap following growth in the spring.
You can consult a good dendrology text at your local or university library to see a depiction of the natural range for the Magnolia species you are considering. The text will also provide information on type of soil preferred and other cultural information.
Good luck!

Boyata surprised by City call-up
When Dedryck Boyata first looked at the Manchester City team list for Saturday's clash with Chelsea, he thought he was not in it.As it turned out, the 19-year-old was one of the key men in City's excellent 1-0 victory which ended the Londoners' 100% start to the season and kept the club in contention for a Premier League title Roberto Mancini continues to insist is bound for Stamford Bridge.That Boyata was able to look back in triumph was remarkable in two respects. When Mancini was splashing out in excess of £100million on new players this summer, it was hard to imagine he could be left scratching around for players at such an early stage of the season.And, for Boyata at least, it was an appearance he never expected to make."I didn't expect to play," he said. "Usually in the week we train with the starting XI and I was not in it. Then when I glanced up at the board to see who was in the actual side, I only saw the first two letters 'BO' and assumed Jerome Boateng was playing."It was only when it was actually read out that I realised it was me. I was quite shocked. I thought 'wow, it's me' but I had to stay focused because I knew how hard this game was going to be."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Compression stockings are a specialized hosiery, designed to help prevent the occurrence of, and guard against further progression of venous disorders[1] such as edema, phlebitis and thrombosis. Compression stockings are elastic garments worn around the leg, compressing the limb, exerting pressure against the legs, reducing the diameter of distended veins, and causing an increase in venous blood flow velocity and valve effectiveness. Compression therapy helps decrease venous pressure, prevents venous stasis and impairments of venous walls, and relieves heavy and aching legs.
Unlike traditional dress or athletic stockings and socks, compression stockings use stronger elastics to create significant pressure on the legs, ankles and feet. Compression stockings are tightest at the ankles and gradually become less constrictive towards the knees and thighs. By compressing the surface veins, arteries and muscles, the circulating blood is forced through narrower circulatory channels. As a result, the arterial pressure is increased, which causes more blood to return to the heart and less blood to pool in the feet.
There are two types of compression stockings, gradient and anti-embolism.[2]
Treatment is usually prescribed by a physician to relieve all manifestations of chronic venous disease and prevent venous troubles. Compression stockings are recommended under the following conditions:
Tired, aching legs occur when the blood flow slows down in the legs (can be an indicator of deep vein thrombosis).
When any combination of blood or tissue fluid, pool in the legs and feet due to poor circulation.
This is when the veins cannot pump deoxygenated blood to the heart.
Varicose veins are saccular and distended veins which can expand considerably and may cause painful venous inflammation. Once developed, will not disappear on its own. The formation of varicose veins is an externally visible sign of venous weakness.
Spider Veins are the smallest cutaneous blood vessels which shimmer bluish or reddish through the skin.
Deep vein thrombosis occurs when blood flow decreases (especially in the lower extremities), causing blood to pool in the legs and leading to blood clot (thrombus) formation.
When a body part swells due to an abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid, occurring when there is interference with the normal drainage of lymph fluid back into the blood, commonly swelling the arm, leg, neck or abdomen.
Inflammation and clotting in a vein, most often a leg vein, due to infection, inflammation, or trauma. People with varicose veins are more often affected. Inflammation occurs suddenly, causing the thrombus to adhere firmly to the vein wall, which can clog a superficial vein.
Occurs on long flight, due to traveler's inactivity, gravity, and cramped seating, which slows down the blood flow through veins.[1]
Inflammation of subcutaneous fat, form of panniculitis.
Hormones released during pregnancy and the expanding uterus (pressure on the inferior vena cava - the major vein returning blood up to the heart) can affect leg veins.[3]
The use of elastic compression stockings can reduce volumetric variations during standing hours. The use of stockings for the entire day is more effective than just half the day or not using compression stockings at all. [4] Many physicians and vein specialists recommend wearing compression stockings after varicose vein stripping, but studies show that wearing an elastic compression has no additional benefit following elastic bandaging for three days in post-operative care after stripping of the great saphenous vein as assessed by control of limb, oedema, pain, complications and return to work.[5]
There is a possible link between a common physical defect in the heart and potentially deadly stroke that could occur during long airplane flights.[6] The connection, called "economy class stroke syndrome," has been reported in healthy, young travelers who suffered ischemic strokes during or shortly after long air trips. Prolonged sitting associated with air travel is known to be a cause of clots forming in the legs. Upwards of 30 percent of the population is estimated to have patent foramen ovale (PFO), a common condition where a small hole exists between the right and left sides of the heart. PFO rarely causes any adverse medical condition and can only be determined through specific diagnostic tests such as an echocardiogram.
These stockings are designed to remedy impaired "Musculovenous pump" performance caused by incompetent leg vein valves. They are woven in such a way that the compression level is highest around the ankle and lessens towards the top of the hose.
Doctors will typically recommend these stockings for those who are prone to blood clots, lower limb edema, and blood pooling in the legs and feet from prolonged periods of sitting or inactivity.
They are worn by those who are ambulatory in most cases, where they assist the calf muscles to perform their pumping action more efficiently to return blood to the heart. In some cases, they are worn by those at increased risk of circulatory problems, such as diabetics, whose legs are prone to excessive swelling. A common indicator for the prescription of such stockings is chronic peripheral venous insufficiency, caused by incompetent perforator veins. Low pressure compression stockings are available without prescription in most countries, and may be purchased at a pharmacy or medical supply store. Stockings with a higher pressure gradient, say, above 25-30mmHg, may require a prescription from a doctor.
There are several crucial cautionary steps that need to be taken before using compression stocking:
Vascular doctors & nurses may use special pads to ensure uniform higher pressure around the circumference of the ankle (to smooth out the irregular cross-sectional profile.) Self-prescription is reasonably safe assuming that the compression gradient is 15-20 mmHg, the ABI (for both legs) is >1.0 and that the stockings fit correctly. "Firm" gradient stockings (20-30 mmHg and 30-40 mmHg) should generally be worn only on medical advice.
Although current research reports mixed results of compression socks on athletic performance,[7][8] there is anecdotal evidence from athletes that they can benefit from such stockings.
These stockings are commonly referred to as TED hose, short for thromboembolism-deterrent hose. They are used to support the venous and lymphatic drainage of the leg.[9]
Like gradient compression stockings, anti-embolism stockings deliver a distributed amount of compression at the ankle and up the leg. This compression, when combined with the muscle pump effect of the calf, aids in circulating blood and lymph fluid through the legs (in non-ambulatory patients).
Compression wear has also been adopted by the sports science industry. Various garments have been developed to improve the efficiency of muscles by stabilising muscles and improving circulation/ lactic acid removal. Today, compression stockings are available in a wide range of opacities, colors, styles and sizes, making them virtually indistinguishable from regular hosiery or socks.
Caution should be used in those with advanced peripheral obstructive arterial disease, heart failure, septic phlebitis, oozing dermatitis and advanced peripheral neuropathy in regards to wearing compression stockings.[10]
Compression stockings are constructed using elastic fibers or rubber. These fibers help compress the limb, aiding in circulation.
Compression stockings are offered in different levels of compression. The unit of measure used to classify the pressure of the stockings is mmHg. They are often sold in one of the following pressure ranges:
Support - over-the-counter

I had a really sweet email from a past bride and groom, Rachelle and Chris, talking about what a good time they had here when they came back to Fearrington for their second anniversary. I will share it with you:
"We decided we should come back more often! I wish we could have done this last year on our first anniversary! It was the best meal I've had in forever! They made me a ribeye on request and I was sooo full!
We started with some ice cream at The Goat then went to the barn to take a picture and reminisce. After that we headed to the granary for a few drinks! We took a stroll to the terrace and got a picture together kissing under the tree like our wedding day. Then of course we headed back to the granary for that awesome meal!
Best anniversary yet! This will be our new tradition. "
How nice!

There's only so many champions. Select 8 or whatever number you decide, and name it Rotation 1. Select a good medium between 450 ip and 6300, rotate evenly or try to anyways. But also have some knowledge between the characters that are going to be free, and try to make it good competition. Like if you decide to make shen free, throw in a vayne, Or just completely random it, -2 and throw in the easy champs. Then you might have 3-6 6300 champs. But only because there's so many. If you're worried about new guys now having an easy champion, choose your "easy" champions, make a list, and divide them evenly among them. I think your version is the lowest costing. (450 ip or w.e) In my opinion, if you read their skills before choosing the character, then you're probably going to play for a while. If you jump right in to the game with no knowledge of any kind, you're up a creek. And I have your paddle.
Senior Member
or shut up and let them do what they want.
I was thinking since free weeks main focus is to help new players build balanced teams, why not make the recommended champs free to everyone, then reduce the rotation to maybe 3-5 random champs for play testing and what not. There's 15 decent champions of every role that are an even mix of easy to moderate champs to play and that's only 15 percent of the total champion count. I mean most players, I assume, have seen a champ in the roster they wanna get within the first few hours of play regardless of that champs role or difficulty.
I know this is strange, but I've noticed lately the champion rotation has been happening on tuesdays, therefore I always look forward to Tuesdays. Will it stay like that?
If everyone got to play Jayce for free the week he came out, then no one would've actually spent the IP or RP for him because he's not very good. Instead, you pay full price for the champion to test him out with no refund. Riot's system benefits them a lot because, regardless of your complaining, they're still making money off you.
Any ideas about last time Ahri was in the rotation? I'd really like to test her skills before spending 6300IP for her.

CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.

The future world demand for food will place huge pressure on global food systems.
Taking a world population rising from 6.8 billion in 2010 to over 9 billion by 2050, the world is facing something like a 70 per cent increase in food demand during this period.
The increase in food demand is driven by population growth combined with economic development and diet changes driving changes in diet composition and consumption levels.
Graph of cereal yields, tons per hectare between 1960 and 2005.
Source: FAO data after World Bank (2009)
The global challenge will be to increase food production through raising agricultural productivity efficiently, whilst decreasing our environmental footprint.
Since the middle of the 20th century, global agricultural output has more than kept pace with a rapidly growing population. Between 1961 and 2008, the world's population increased by 117 per cent whereas crop production rose by 179 per cent.
In many sectors of Australian agriculture we have seen an amazing period of productivity growth in the order of 2 per cent or more per year for 30 years.
In the developing world (noting that Africa is something of an exception), agricultural yields have almost trebled over the last 50 years.
Australia doesn't currently have a problem feeding its own population but has a humanitarian interest in food security and stability for developing countries. Australian agricultural exports support global efforts to achieve food security.
Global trade is important in the food security equation, because floods, droughts and other impediments make it impossible to exactly match local food production with the regional demand.
Australian research and expertise in eco-efficient agriculture can play and important role in the international response to global food security.
CSIRO is approaching the problem from two angles – firstly by working with Australian farmers to increase crop productivity and develop innovative management practices and secondly via our international work with developing countries and through international research collaborations.
CSIRO is actively partnering with agencies such as Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and AusAID to ensure the Australian agricultural science know-how contributes to improved food security in the developing world.
Australian agricultural science has developed in an environment of natural resource constraints – the skills, approaches and technologies developed here are very relevant to the challenges of developing world agriculture – in particular in Africa which has similar soils and climates to northern Australia. Specifically CSIRO is playing an important role in assisting farmers in many Asian and African countries to develop technologies and management strategies to diversify and increase their food and fibre yield.

tyler — How about these apples?
This was written this week by Emily Miller in the Washington Times newspaper.
Everything she says is right on!
Gun-control advocates are noticeably silent when crime rates decline. Their multimillion-dollar lobbying efforts are designed to manufacture mass anxiety that every gun owner is a potential killer. The statistics show otherwise.
Last week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced that violent crime decreased 4 percent in 2011. The number of murders, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults all went down, continuing a pattern.
"This is not a one-year anomaly, but a steady decline in the FBI's violent-crime rates," said Andrew Arulanandam, spokesman for the National Rifle Association. "It would be disingenuous for anyone to not credit increased self-defense laws to account for this decline."
the NRA points out only a handful of states had concealed-carry programs 25 years ago, when the violent-crime rate peaked. Today, 41 states either allow carrying without a permit or have "shall issue" laws that make it easy for just about any noncriminal to get a permit. Illinois and Washington, D.C., are the only places that refuse to recognize the right to bear arms. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence did not respond to requests for comment.
If the gun grabbers were right, we'd be in the middle of a crime wave, considering how many guns are on the streets. "Firearms sales have increased substantially since right after the 2008 election," said Bill Brassard, spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), which represents the $4 billion firearms and ammunition industry. "There was a leveling off in 2010, but now we're seeing a surge again."
Thugs don't like the odds when they look at the muzzle of a gun.
That's my point of view, what's yours?

Poor Communication Can Create Employee Discipline Problems

During my years in the HR field, the majority of discipline problems that I have encountered are because of poor communication. Organizations communicate to their employees through their on-boarding process which can include-employee handbooks, safety manuals, labor contracts, or standard operating procedures. When an organization develops and implements company policy and procedures it is imperative to consider the comprehension levels of the employees. An organization can have the best intentions to communicate policy and procedures however if your employees do not understand the policies then essentially you are setting your employees up for failure.
On occasion, even with proper communication and training, discipline maybe necessary. When an employee commits a violation, progressive discipline should be used with consistency and follow company procedure. Progressive discipline should be a documented process for addressing unsatisfactory behavior or performance. The goal of progressive discipline is to offer an employee the opportunity to improve a behavior unless the violation warrants dismissal.
The goal of progressive discipline is to document and correct unacceptable behavior, poor performance, or other work-related issues. Whether the discipline is for attendance violations, job performance, or poor judgment, the employee should be made aware that they have violated a known policy or practice.
All disciplinary meetings with the employee should be held in a confidential private area and with a witness present. A poor business practice and a common mistake made in a discipline meeting is that communication is a one-sided conversation without allowing the employee to respond.
If the problem is performance related, the supervisor and employee should agree on a plan of action for improving the employee's performance. This plan should include measurable goals, a timeline for improvement, and a scheduled date to review the status of the performance.
If the problem is a behavioral issue or a rule violation, the employee should understand what behavior is unacceptable. Together, the supervisor and employee should agree on a plan of action to improve the employee's behavior.
The following steps should be used for most behavioral issues, rule violations, or poor work performance.
• Step 1 – Verbal Warning
• Step 2 – Written Warning
• Step 3 – Final Written Warning/Suspension
• Step 4 – Dismissal
In my next blog I will discuss the process of conducting a formal discipline meeting and the necessary documentation that should take place prior to the meeting.

Avascular Necrosis (Osteonecrosis)
In this article
Avascular necrosis (AVN), also called osteonecrosis, aseptic necrosis, or ischemic bone necrosis, is a condition that occurs when there is loss of blood to the bone. Because bone is living tissue that requires blood, an interruption to the blood supply causes bone to die. If not stopped, this process eventually causes the bone to collapse.
Avascular necrosis most commonly occurs in the upper leg. Other common sites are the upper arm, knees, shoulder, and ankles.
Understanding Ankylosing Spondylitis -- Symptoms
Not everyone develops all of the following symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis of the spine. What you experience depends on the severity of the condition: Stiffness and pain in the lower back, buttocks, and hips upon waking in the morning or after a period of inactivity Back pain relieved by movement and exercise Difficulty bending the spine Pain in the hips and difficulty walking Pain in the heels and soles of the feet Pain in the jaw, the temporomandibular joint (...
Read the Understanding Ankylosing Spondylitis -- Symptoms article > >
Who Gets Avascular Necrosis and What Causes It?
As many as 20,000 people develop AVN each year. Most are between ages 20 and 50. For healthy people, the risk of AVN is small. Most cases are the result of an underlying health problem or injury. Possible causes include:
Dislocation or fracture of the thigh bone (femur). This type of injury can affect the blood supply to the bone, leading to trauma-related avascular necrosis. AVN may develop in 20% or more of people who dislocate a hip.
Chronic corticosteroid use. Long-term use of these inflammation-fighting drugs, either orally or intravenously, is associated with 35% of all cases of nontraumatic AVN. Although the reason for this is not completely understood, doctors suspect these drugs may interfere with the body's ability to break down fatty substances. These substances collect in the blood vessels -- making them narrower -- and reduce the amount of blood to the bone.
Excessive alcohol use. Much like corticosteroids, excessive alcohol may cause fatty substances to build in the blood vessels and decrease the blood supply to the bones.
Blood clots, inflammation, and damage to the arteries. All of these can block blood flow to the bones.
Other conditions associated with nontraumatic AVN include:
- Gaucher's disease, an inherited metabolic disorder in which harmful quantities of a fatty substance accumulate in the organs
- Sickle cell disease
- Pancreatitis, inflammation of the pancreas
- HIV infection
- Radiation therapy or chemotherapy
- Autoimmune diseases
- Decompression sickness, a condition that occurs when the body is subjected to a sudden reduction in surrounding pressure, causing the formation of gas bubbles in the blood
Symptoms of Avascular Necrosis
In its early stages, AVN typically cause no symptoms; however, as the disease progresses it becomes painful. At first, you may experience pain when you put pressure on the affected bone. Then, pain may become more constant. If the disease progresses and the bone and surrounding joint collapse, you may experience severe pain that interferes with your ability to use your joint. The time between the first symptoms and collapse of the bone may range from several months to more than a year.

Funny how these nitwits all talk big on TV or Radio and everyone down to the last Soldier always proves to be a Monster of a fake and complete idiot.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Keith Olbermann's offer for a donation if Sean Hannity undergoes waterboarding is off the table, the money gone instead to radio host Erich "Mancow" Muller's charity of choice after Mancow's disquieting experience with the interrogation technique
Can you imagine? God I hope this is on youtube somewhere, I'd love to hear him, see him kicking and screaming like the pussy he really is. Oh yeah~~I thought I was gonna DIE! Too bad they didn't phuck up and loosen the gag so you would have! POS!
Muller said Wednesday he volunteered to be waterboarded last week to prove that the controversial technique isn't torture. Instead, he said the experience showed he was wrong.
"I thought I was going to die," he said
Yeah Waterboarding will protect your YOUNG DAUGHTERS~~What a flaming POS~~God I have to see this tape!
Muller did it in his Chicago studio last Friday. He said it was worse than drowning, something he nearly experienced as a boy before being rescued. Muller went on Olbermann's MSNBC show Tuesday to talk about his experience, after Olbermann pledged $10,000 to Veterans of Valor, an organization formed by Iraq War veteran Klay South to help injured veterans.
"I was laughing about this, that it was a stupid radio thing," Muller told Olbermann. "I thought I could go 30 seconds. I'll hold my breath. Big deal, they'll sprinkle water. It is a big deal. It's torture."
Muller said Wednesday that he'd have no qualms about seeing waterboarding used if it would protect his young daughters. Whether it should be used by the United States as an interrogation technique is a question he said he'd leave to others.
Muller, a former Fox News Channel contributor, said he talked to his friend Hannity about the experience and had no insights on whether Hannity planned to go through with his offer, or even whether the offer was serious or made in jest during a conversation with Charles Grodin last month on "Hannity." There's no evidence Hannity has spoken publicly about his plans since.
Neither he nor a Fox News spokeswoman immediately replied to requests for comment on Wednesday.
"I don't know how Hannity is rationalizing this, but externally, his inability to live up to his promise pretty much speaks for itself," Olbermann told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "Plus, he is now less informed on the subject of waterboarding than is Erich `Mancow' Muller.
Where are your nut Hannity~~or are you another closet Gay, or just simply a " METRO-SEXUAL " Nails, waxed, preened, and ~~~~~~~~~~~
Hopefully this goes far to explain why I took up boxing at an early age~~Oh for just one combo don't ya know!
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Olbermann ... .html?.v=1
Hey Screamer~~~NOW IS THIS FACT, ASSUMPTION, OR JUST MORE OF THE DAWG AND PONY SHOW YOU SEEM TO DEVOUR AND SUBSCRIBE TO!!
PS. Kind of reminds me of Jerry Lawler and his " LOSER LEAVES TOWN " gig~~ Loud mouthed shock jock owned!
YEAH HERE YOU GO ALL OF YOU CONSPIRACY NUTTERS Now you tell me ~~~IS THIS sh*t REAL OR FAKE!! Come on screamer~~~COME THE PHUCK ON ALREADY~~ I'm telling you it's time to stop the insanity of all of this utter BULLSHSIT!
Pile it on boys and girls! Pile it on!

Life on Board: High Society
Who's Who of Titanic's Passengers
The Titanic's passenger list included some of the crème de la crème of early 20th-century business, culture, high society, and sports on both sides of the Atlantic.
• Mr. And Mrs. John Jacob Astor: As the American head of the illustrious Astor clan, the 47-year-old Astor "put up and owned more hotels and skyscrapers than any other New Yorker," noted the New York Times, which estimated his personal worth to be as much as $200 million. He also was a veteran of the Spanish American war, a noted inventor, and author of A Journey in Other Worlds, a science-fiction account of life on Saturn and Jupiter. He was accompanied on the voyage by his 19-year-old second wife, Madeleine.
• Mr. and Mrs. Isidor Straus: The 67-year-old Bavarian-born businessman who owned R.H. Macy & Co.'s glassware and china department, which it supplied from cut-glass factories it owned in Germany, Switzerland, and France. Straus also was a former U.S. Congressman, a director on the boards of several financial institutions, and a noted philanthropist who backed the Educational Alliance, an effort to help impoverished tenement dwellers to improve their lot. He was accompanied on the Titanic by his wife Ida.
• Lucy Noel Dyer Edwardes, Countess of Rothes: The 33-year-old English noblewoman was the wife of Norman Evelyn Leslie, the 19th Earl of Rothes, who was waiting for her at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York.
• William H. Harbeck: The 44-year-old Ohio native was a pioneering filmmaker, who first earned notoriety by recording images of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. He went on to make a successful series of promotional shorts and travelogues for the Canadian Pacific Railway's Department of Colonization. He was returning on the Titanic from a stint in Paris, studying with Leon Gaumont, the French filmmaker known for his mastery of outdoor location shoots. Though married, Harbeck was in the company of another woman, French model Henriette Yvois.
• Mr. and Mrs. Martin Rothschild: The New York clothing manufacturer was the uncle of future literary giant Dorothy Parker. He was accompanied by his wife, Elizabeth, 54.
• Washington Dodge: Dodge, 52, was a prominent banker from San Francisco who also was the city's assessor. He traveled with his wife Ruth and their son, Washington Jr.
• Frank D. Millet: The Harvard-educated Millet, 65, had dual careers as a journalist and artist. He worked as reporter and city editor for the Boston Courier before deciding to move to Europe and enroll in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium. In addition to creating decorative murals and paintings, he continued to work as a freelance correspondent, and covered the Russian-Turkish war for several American and British newspapers.
• Maj. Archibald Butt: The 46-year-old Army officer and former newspaper correspondent was an important military aide to President William Howard Taft. He was returning from a meeting in Rome with the Pope and Italian King Victor Emmanuel. Butt possessed an impressive memory for names and faces, which made him a valuable handler of crowds at White House receptions.
• Benjamin Guggenheim: The 46-year-old son of the founder of his family's fortune, Guggenheim was perhaps the second wealthiest man after Astor on the Titanic, with a personal wealth estimated at $95 million.
• Henry Birkhardt Harris: The 45-year-old St. Louis native was a successful theatrical manager on both sides of the Atlantic. (One of his jobs was managing the Folies Bergère, the famous Paris music hall.) He also served for a time as treasurer of the Actors Fund of America, a benevolent organization. He traveled with his wife, Irene.
• Washington A. Roebling II: The 31-year-old New Jersey native was a nephew of Washington A. Roebling, one of the builders of the Brooklyn Bridge. He was a noted race-car designer, whose Roebling-Planche finished second at the Vanderbilt Cup Race in Savannah, Georgia, in 1910. He was returning from a racing tour of Europe.
• Karl Behr: Though a Yale-educated attorney, the 26-year-old Behr was better known as an amateur tennis star. He played on the U.S. Davis Cup team in 1907, and along with partner Beals C. Wright, was runner up in the men's doubles championship at Wimbledon that same year. He was returning from a trip to Europe where he had been pursuing Helen Monypeny Newsom, a young woman whom he was courting.
• Mark Fortune: The 64-year-old Ontario native lived up to his surname, amassing great wealth as a real estate speculator and builder in Winnipeg, where he also served for a time on the city council. In his spare time, he built a reputation as a skilled competitor in the sport of curling. He traveled with a large contingent of family members.
• Dorothy Gibson: The 22-year-old New Yorker was a fashion model, singer, and dancer, and a rising starlet in the silent movie industry. After acting in a series of films that included The Easter Bonnet and The Revenge of the Silk Masks, Gibson went on a vacation in Europe, and was returning on the Titanic.
• David John "Dai" Bowen: The Third Class passenger in his 20s was the Welsh lightweight boxing champion and was traveling to the U.S. to fight in professional bouts.

The brave anglers that visited Blackdyke trout fly fishery this week were rewarded with some excellent sport. Plenty of trout were biting – cats whisker and damsels being the best lures. Trevor Hagger was top rod this week with 15 on Thursday. From around the aerators the lake is free of ice at the moment and won't completely freeze so there's always somewhere to fish. Come on down – the fish are fighting hard at the moment.
A date for your diary – Eyebrook tackle shop will be here on Saturday, February 23. Come check out some of the new tackle and stock up on your new season's sundries.
The Airflo Bank Masters takes place on Sunday, February 24 – there are still places available and you can enter the competition at www.iaindarrflyfishing.co.uk or pick up an entry form at the lodge.
Fishing at Larkwood had been slower this week until one of our regulars worked out where the fish had gone. In the freezing weather fish had moved from within a foot of the surface to 15 feet down, so the order of the day is a fast intermediate or a slow sink line with a small lure or marabou damsel retrieved slowly.
Tuesday was an interesting day; with a temperature of minus 6 in the morning, fishing was almost impossible with the fly line freezing in the rod rings. I could only look on in amazement out of the lodge window as a group of grown men had a snowball fight to keep themselves warm. Boys will be boys.
Given the recent volume of snow and continuous freezing temperatures, the lakes are currently frozen and we are closed for fishing.
We are hopeful that, as the weather is set to warm, we will be thawed by next week.
If you are wishing to fish or use the tackle shop, please call first to check on 01953 483971.

Why is space cold?
Name: susan b hieber Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 1993 - 1999
My fourth grade class would like to know why outer space is cold when some parts of outer space are closer to the sun than the Earth?. Also, is the outer space just outside the Earth cold too?
But outer space is NOT cold. The matter in outer space is really very hot; there just isn't much of it. I suggest that you and your class investigate the meaning of the notions of "hot" and "cold".
J Lu
...and remember that heat is energy and this energy can be transfered by conduction, convection, or radiation (just real basic thermodynamics). In space there is virtually no medium for conduction or convection (actually, the tenuous plasma and gas that permeates space has an extrememly low heat capacity), so a body in space gains or loses heat by radiation. In fact, all bodies radiate heat according to their temp. (black body radiation, look it up); if a body radiates more than it absorbs, it cools off, like a satellite in Earth orbit while it's in the Earth's shadow (from the Sun). If you're in direct sunlight, you will heat up unless you're a very good reflector!
The short, simple answer is that being hot or cold is a property of matter... AND hot or cold RELATIVE to what?
But, Hawley, remember that you're talking to 4th graders (and a teacher who is required to be a generalist). I may be wrong, but I just don't think that words like "heat is energy", "conduction, convention -sorry - convection, and radiation", tenuous plasma" , or "heat capacity", mean very much to people at this level.
You can get a better idea of the kinds of words that are meaningless, even to highly selected college freshmen, by reading Arnold Arons' book A Guide to the Teaching of Introductory Physics.
As I say, I may be wrong, but I suspect that your comment was more intimidating than helpful.
And, the temperature scal e IS absolute!
Don't forget the golden rule , "Less is more!"
Well, some of the matter in space is hot, some of it is cold (does anybody doubt that the outer planets, Pluto for example, are cold?) But "J Lu" is right that the matter between us and the sun tends to be pretty hot - in fact there's a lot of it streaming out of the sun in the solar wind. The solar corona reaches millions of degrees outside of the visible surface of the sun (the round disk where most of the light comes from, from our perspective, which is only around 5000 degrees K).
But because those bits of matter (the solar wind in the neighborhood of the earth) are so widely dispersed, they don't amount to much energy and therefore MOST of the heating or cooling a person would experience in space near earth is through radiation. And then it's just like down here on earth, except a bit worse: when the sun is shining on you you get hot, when it's not, you get cold. The surface of the moon gets the full force of the sun for two weeks at a time, during which it really gets quite hot (at least a couple of hundred degrees F - I don't remember exactly) while during the "night" period for the moon, the sun doesn't shine at all and it gets very cold. (Of course, while it's night on one side of the moon, it's day on the other, but the moon doesn't have any atmosphere that can equalize the temperatures). .
Oh, by "radiation" I meant the techin ... I meant the process where the sun shines on you and you get hot...

Bally Legend stayed on best of all to land the BetBright Chase at 28/1 for trainer Caroline Keevil at Kempton on Saturday.
Tour Des Champs was sent off the 9/2 favourite after being extremely well backed and he took them along under Sam Twiston-Davies.
Still in the lead on the turn for home, Midnight Appeal looked the most potent danger jumping the third last as the pair battled it out up front.
However, Bally Legend crept into the contest under Ian Popham and overtook them both in the closing stages, with Bury Parade (15/2) staying on from a long way back to take second.
Tour Des Champs stuck on well for third with Midnight Appeal dropping out of the places for fourth.
Popham, who has suffered with injuries, said: "Martin Keighley has always been good to me, and I rode for Caroline when I was 16 in point-to-points - she has stuck with me the whole way and I'm very grateful.''
Keevil said: "He loves it at Kempton, and the runner-up was carrying top-weight so he had a big advantage.
"As a small trainer, you have some highs and a lot of lows, but whenever I am at my lowest ebb Bally Legend pulls it out of the bag.
"He is in the Byrne Group Plate, but today was the big plan and it might be a bit greedy going again at Cheltenham."
