Currency Exchange Rates
The following source may be used to find exchange rates for converting receipts in foreign currency to US dollars for reimbursement purposes. Please remember to use the rate for the same time period as your travel.
The calculation for the exchange should be written directly on the receipt. On 9/25/01 the conversion rate for FF to US dollars was .136965. Written on the receipt should be: 2000 FF * 0.13965 = $279.30 US dollars, this should then be transferred to the appropriate line on the Travel Reimbursement Request Form 25.
Currency Converter - View exchange rates for any day since January 1, 1990 through yesterday. Updated Daily. (OANDA, Inc.)
What is Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC)?
This is the practice where a merchant in another country offers to settle the charge in credit cardholder's home currency rather than the currency of the country of travel.
For instance, a hotel in Dublin may reconcile the bill in US dollars instead of euros. Because the exchange transaction is converted at the point of sale, the traveler knows the final bill at signing. However, there are fees included that may result in a less competitive exchange rate. Some travelers prefer to have the charge converted based on the bank rate, which would exclude the merchant fee if converted at time of purchase. The practice is not a mandate, but an option. I f you have a preference, take a good look at your charge receipt before signing.
Either way, the expense will be reimbursed in US dollars with appropriate receipt.

Why Zogenix (ZGNX) Is Down Big Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Zogenix
(ZGNX - Get Report) shares are down as much as 22.7% this afternoon on the news that rival Purdue Pharma has completed testing of an abuse-resistant version of its painkiller hydrocodone. Purdue Pharma, which also produces the popular painkiller OxyContin, plans to apply for regulatory approval later this year.
Purdue's announcement looks to undercut the sales of Zogenix's just released hydrocodone drug Zohydro as physicians would seemingly be more inclined to prescribe the form of drug that is least subject to abuse. Ultimately the Food and Drug Administration could even go as far as pulling Zohydro from the market if it finds that Purdue's drug is safer.
Zogenix has replied by stating that it is working on its own version of an abuse-proof Zohydro, but says that it would not be ready for testing until 2016.
Hydrocodone based painkillers are the most prescribed painkillers in the U.S. with over 130 million hydrocodone products prescribed annually. Some 3 out of every 4 prescription pill overdose fatalities are attributed to painkillers.

TheStreet Ratings team rates ZOGENIX INC as a Sell with a ratings score of D-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate ZOGENIX INC (ZGNX) a SELL. This is driven by several weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, poor profit margins, generally high debt management risk and feeble growth in its earnings per share."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Pharmaceuticals industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 5439.0% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$0.64 million to -$35.62 million.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Pharmaceuticals industry and the overall market, ZOGENIX INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for ZOGENIX INC is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 25.03%. It has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -358.99% is significantly below that of the industry average.
- Currently the debt-to-equity ratio of 1.56 is quite high overall and when compared to the industry average, suggesting that the current management of debt levels should be re-evaluated. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio is weak, ZGNX's quick ratio is somewhat strong at 1.34, demonstrating the ability to handle short-term liquidity needs.
- ZOGENIX INC has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past year. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ZOGENIX INC reported poor results of -$0.72 versus -$0.64 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings (-$0.58 versus -$0.72)

Riptide Recommends
So we have a modest proposal: Fire the Irishman and hire Ken Jenne. The just retired Broward Sheriff has baggage, but he also boasts experience. The BSO is much bigger than the Miami PD -- and Kenny boy has done a fine job cleaning up the place. Hell, he's even a crack consultant. (We should probably make sure he promises to tell the IRS if he continues this biz.) Unlike John Timoney, Jenne never alienated our largest minority group by drunkenly proclaiming "Fuck the Cubans." Plus, Kenny won't need the car allowance or those bonus amenities that got Timoney in trouble; he'll be in federal detention.
Indeed, Jenne is a crack political player and former prosecutor who could keep Miami commissioners off balance. And that's really what the Miami police chief must do, right? So we ask you, Miami City Manager Pete Hernandez: Why not give the short, bald guy a shot? -- Chuck Strouse

Viagra, now ten years old, was the first ED brand on the market. It was originally promoted by the likes of politician Bob Dole and baseball star Rafael Palmeiro. But ED as a brand segment really began its promotional life during the 2004 Super Bowl, that uniquely American test of testosterone. Levitra and Cialis were introduced via two television ads each. Ironically, this was the same Super Bowl during which the infamous Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction occurred. (If you were living on another planet at the time, one of Jacksons breasts was exposed, supposedly by accident, during the halftime show.)
Despite the fact that they were promoting a new pharmaceutical category, the Levitra and Cialis Super Bowl ads were understated if not downright vague. Levitra used football great Mike Ditka to urge men to take the Levitra challenge. The ad never said what the challenge was, or what Levitra was for. The Cialis ad showed a man and a woman looking out over a moonlit beach. Strangely, each of them is seen lying in a separate bathtub. A voice-over said Cialis is here. Are you ready? As with Levitra, there was no mention of the condition Cialis treated in the first ad. A second Cialis ad did reference that the product treated erectile dysfunction. By the way, Cialis still uses the two-bathtub imagery at the end of its current ads.
Promotionally, these ads were not very effective on their own. The intent was to drive interested consumers to the appropriate website. But the real issue is not the effectiveness of the advertising, or lack of itrather, its the underlying challenge: how do you truly distinguish one ED brand from the other? Cialis works longer, but all three drug brands treat the same condition. And all three drugs have essentially the same side effects and risks, which must be stated in the advertising.
This represents a larger, more fundamental question: should prescription drug brands such as these be advertised directly to consumers in the first place?
Only the United States and New Zealand currently permit DTC (direct to consumer) advertising of prescription drugs. In the US, the practice began in 1996 and has grown since into an advertising business worth more than US$ 4 billion. Over 70 prescription drug brands have been promoted directly to the consumer.
That was the start of a drug-advertising deluge that has yet to abate. DTC advertising has not proceeded without controversy, however. In January 2008, a US congressional committee began an investigation into the use of celebrities in drug advertising. In June 2008, pharmaceutical companies agreed to wait six months before promoting newly approved drugs, but that is less than the two-year waiting period requested by Congress.
One concern about prescription drug advertising is that it can create consumer demand, sometimes artificially, for a particular brand. The consumer-patient approaches the doctor and asks for that specific drug. The doctor may or may not agree the patients condition warrants the use of that drug, but the doctor is put in a potentially uncomfortable position. In the case of the three ED brands, men may have the condition the drugs are designed to treat, but they are not medically qualified to determine which of the three brands is best for them.
Nevertheless, DTC advertising appears to benefit the sale of drug brands. According to a 2007 study in the New England Journal of Medicine, evidence suggests that direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs increases pharmaceutical sales and both helps to avert underuse of medicines and leads to potential overuse.
Barring governmental intervention, if drug companies continue to utilize DTC advertising, they will have to find ways to make their brands distinctive, if not memorable. That presents them with a number of challenges:
Lilly recently launched a European television campaign to get around DTC advertising restrictions outside the United States. In the United Kingdom, Lilly is running TV ads centered on the theme 40over40, which promotes the fact that ED supposedly affects 40 percent of men over the age of 40. As required by law, the ad and an accompanying website never mention Cialis. But the brands two distinctive colors, orange and green, are prominently used in the ad and on the website.
While pharmaceutical companies struggle with the effectiveness of DTC advertising, the Big Three in ED will likely continue to battle for brand dominance. Erectile dysfunction must be too large a category for drug makers to ignore.

Psychophysical scaling is commonly based on the assumption that the overall quality of images is based on the assessment of individual attributes which the observer is able to recognise and separate, i.e. sharpness, contrast, etc. However, the assessment of individual attributes is a subject of debate, since they are unlikely to be independent from each other. This paper presents an experiment that was carried to derive individual perceptual attribute interval scales from overall image quality assessments, therefore examine the weight of each individual attribute to the overall perceived quality. A psychophysical experiment was taken by fourteen observers. Thirty two original images were manipulated by adjusting three physical parameters that altered image blur, noise and contrast. The data were then arranged by permutation, where ratings for each individual attribute were averaged to examine the variation of ratings in other attributes. The results confirmed that one JND of added noise and one JND of added blurring reduced image quality more than did one JND in contrast change. Furthermore, they indicated that the range of distortion that was introduced by blurring covered the entire image quality scale but the ranges of added noise and contrast adjustments were too small for investigating the consequences in the full range of image quality. There were several interesting tradeoffs between noise,blur and changes in contrast. Further work on the effect of (test) scene content was carried out to objectively reveal which types of scenes were significantly affected by changes in each attribute.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Hope for Millions. Experimental vaccine for Dengue shows promise
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
September 12th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The potentially fatal mosquito-borne illness, dengue, continues to terrorize tropical and subtropical nations throughout the world. Now, an experimental vaccine is providing new hope. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The experimental vaccine proved to be safe and effective against three of the four viruses that cause the disease. According to the World Health Organization, the number of dengue cases has increased significantly in recent years.Dengue was introduced into the United States in 2009. According to the Florida Department of Health, 27 people living in Key West contracted the illness via locally acquired infections. There were 66 more residents in the area that contracted the illness the following year. The outbreak seems to have eased since then, however. Appearing three days to two weeks after a mosquito bite, dengue symptoms can range from mild to incapacitating fever with severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain and rash. When dengue occurs in children, symptoms include fever, abdominal pain, vomiting and bleeding. "Nearly half a million people are thought to be hospitalized with dengue every year, the majority of which are children, so the development of a safe and effective vaccine has the potential to make a hugely positive impact," study co-author Dr. Derek Wallace of Sanofi Pasteur said in a journal news release. Researchers in France and Thailand tested the effectiveness of the possible vaccine. Known as CYD-TDV, the vaccine was tested on more than 4,000 Thai children ranging in age from 4 to 11 years. Of the test subjects, 2,669 were given the vaccine, while the others received an inactive placebo. The study proved that 2.8 percent of the children who received the vaccine were diagnosed with dengue, compared with 4.4 percent among the placebo group. Secondary tests revealed the vaccine was effective in protecting against three of the viruses that cause dengue, DENV 1, 3 and 4. The virus DENV 2 was resistant to the vaccine. None of the children who received the vaccine suffered serious side effects. Limited to Thailand, researchers say the tests confirm their findings in advance the development of a dengue vaccine. "Our study constitutes the first-ever demonstration that a safe and effective dengue vaccine is possible," Wallace said. "Further trials of CYD-TDV are currently under way in a number of different countries, and our hope is that the positive results of this trial will be confirmed by these larger studies, taking place in a wide range of epidemiological settings." .

About Lyoban Hostel.
The main activity in Zipolite is just relax in an atmosphere of freedom, very quiet, large space facing the sea and lives in peace with nature.
It is something that many of our visitors have described as "a magical world" away from any civilization consumerism.
Nudism optional activity that characterizes Zipolite (which is practiced only on the beach) reflects and represents a free and respectful attitude to all people and respect for a natural lifestyle. This is not exactly a beach for families and children, although they are welcome, and is not a family beach because in recent years visitors have made this beach a special place for young people who like to "be and let be."
Here you can do nothing and just rest all day in a hammock, thinking, seeing the ocean or reading a good book that if you don't have with you you can borrow from our library where you'll find books in different languages and issues.
But if you're the kind of person who likes to be active here as in Zipolite Lyoban and its surroundings will find a variety of different activities.

Ping Pong
Board Games
Wireless Internet

A boat Trip - to see whales, turtles and dolphins
Sand castles on the beach
Fishing and walks
Museum of Sea Turtles
Different festivals in the Year, as well as the traditional New Year.

This one is amazing. I love the intense detail and the Black Forest-ish, fable-like quality that it has. Wonderful!
I like it how you captured micro- and macrocosm in this one picture so strikingly. Also, am I right when it reminds me somewhat of the famous Moloch Baal depictions (with the ovens)? (Ofcourse the concept wouldn't be the same)
there is certainly an attractive aesthetic to this piece that reminds me stongly of american and western-european folk art. I, too, would be interested to know about the relations to the molag baal depictions.

A kitten went a-walking
One morning in July,
And idly fell a-talking
With a great big butterfly.
The kitten's tone was airy,
The butterfly would scoff;
When there came along a fairy
Who whisked his wings right off.
And then--for it is written
Fairies can do such things--
Upon the startled kitten
She stuck the yellow wings.
The kitten felt a quiver,
She rose into the air,
Then flew down to the river
To view her image there.
With fear her heart was smitten,
And she began to cry,
"Am I a butter-kitten?
Or just a kitten-fly?"

Critical Moments: On The Next Iron Chef, One Rival "Finds His Mojo"
by Simon Majumdar in Shows, October 18th, 2010Next Iron Chef judge Simon Majumdar joins us on the FN Dish each week to share his insider's take on what went down Sunday night.
Episode 3 of The Next Iron Chef should have been subtitled "Chef Canora Gets It."
I didn't see what went on in the kitchen, I was judging only what was on my plate, not how it arrived there. I am, however, pretty sure that at some point during the "Resourcefulness" challenge, a bright cartoon light bulb suddenly popped on above Marco Canora's head as he finally realized that it would take more than just his considerable skills to reach Kitchen Stadium. His New World/Old World take on a classic Italian seafood stew not only mastered The Chairman's challenge, but marked him out as the chef to beat amongst his rivals. Chef Canora may have lost his artichokes, but he certainly found his mojo.
As Donatella put it to him so perfectly, "Welcome to the race."
Almost as pleasing to the judges were the efforts of Chef Estes. She produced two plates of gutsy, attractive food which showed she been listening to our comments and pushed her right back into contention. Judges are shallow that way. We like people to listen to us. It keeps us happy.
That left Chef Chauhan and Chef Dumont to face possible elimination. Chef Chauhan's presentation was very poor and I would not have argued if my colleagues had decided to show her the door. However, there was enough about her cooking for us to want to taste it again. Chef Dumont, on the other hand, had only scraped through the previous challenge thanks to some undercooked meatloaf. This time, there was nowhere to hide and she too fell victim to the dark shadow that hung like a black curtain over the whole proceedings…The Curse of The Pineapple.
Look inside Chef Dumont's Next Iron Chef journal and flip through our behind-the-scenes gallery from Episode 3.

I cannot watch this show again…. I can't believe Chef Tsai is gone from this. I will not watch any Iron Chef show that has this Canora guy in it.
I feel exactly the same way! OMG………………….Chef Canora is an annoying classless jerk! What's wrong at the Food Network that they think this guy is acceptable???? Ming Tsai out classed them all. Maybe that was the problem. I like Chef Tio too!
I'm with you all. I love Iron Chef. It is my favorite show. At least it was. Canora is a jackass anf it seemed he was allowed to get to be a bigger and bigger jackass every week. I hate his attitude and his thought that he is God in the kitchen. He took every opportunity to thrown anyone he could under the bus to make himself look better. I will never watch this show again if he becomes an Iron Chef. To me Iron Chef's are more than great cooks. They are people with integrity and style and he does not have any of these. He's a smug little man whose been allowed to go out of control. Like you said the producers might view this as ratings boosters but I think it had the opposite affect.
I'm so sick of Donatella Arpaia. If I ever see her again it will be too soon. I have no idea how she's supposed to be a food expert. She makes stupid mistakes (eating a banana peel) and then blames the competitors for her mistakes. Her comments are insipid and lack any authority. I don't know how she got to be a judge but it was another of the biggest mistakes FoodNetwork made with this competition. All season long it's been nothing but a joke and they've ruined the show for me. I'm saddened that this has happened.
I have been a die-hard fan of Next Iron Chef since Michael Simon competed for the title. Iron Chef American became one of my favorite shows. Nonetheless chef Canora in the current "next iron chef" has
changed my whole attitued toward the show. I think Chef Ming Tsai is the better chef hands down. So the three judges showing favoritism toward Canora is just plan dishonest and prejudicial. With chef Tsai's unfair lost I tuned to a different channel and refused to watch the remaining few minutes. I will not tune in to the kitchen stadium competition and watch chef Canora's non-professional attitude and
generally disgusting demeanor. If chef Canora is the best that "Food Network" has to offer then I refuse to watch any future episodes period. -
Sewer A few minutes of my personal time inatallation.
I'm unbelievably satisfied i stumbled across this distinct inside my seek for one thing concerning this.

Occupy Anarchists (but I repeat myself) trash businesses to retaliate against their kindred getting busted after the Seattle May Day melee. Check out who's talking about it on their facebook page. The still shots I've isolated are from Citizen Journalist "BareItorBearIt" video below.
Note: that Walgreens store was open when the Occupy anarchists terrorized it. I'd look for enhanced charges when they find these people. And it doesn't look like it will be hard. After the jump and after the videos find their Facebook postings RSVPing to the melee.

In retaliation for the jailing of these bastards from Seattle's melee on May Day. Citizen Journalist, Laughing at Liberals, got this video:

*VIDEO* Anarchist/Occupiers Trash Portland Businesses to Retaliate for Seattle Jailings
2 comments:
The President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, He Who Bows To Terrorism, memorably informed the Occupiers, and thereby the nation and the world that: "You [Occupiers] are the reason I ran for office." Ah, truth escaped his lips for a change.
If you don't want more of the violent narcissistic bratpack terrorism of the Occupiers, disoccupy Obama from the White House on Nov. 6.

Game of the Week: Defenses getting better deep in the postseason
By CONOR NICHOLL
La CROSSE -- Last Friday, the La Crosse High School football team played host to Brookville/Ell-Saline in the first round of the Class 2-1A playoffs. The Leopards had averaged 45.3 points per contest, while Ell-Saline had tallied 36.8 points a game.
La Crosse won 35-6. It was the fewest points for the Leopards since Week 1 and the Cardinals' fewest points all season.
In Oakley, the Plainsmen defeated Johnson-Stanton County, 14-12. During the regular season, Oakley averaged 29.1 points per game, while Stanton County scored 38.2 per contest. However, the low scoring games continued a trend in the postseason, especially for La Crosse.
"The defenses get better," fourth-year La Crosse coach Jon Webster said. "The offenses, I don't think they get any worse. It's just that you face teams that are sound defensively and don't maybe give you that one thing that they don't adjust to. Because good defense is what arries you through the playoffs."
Last season, La Crosse won playoff games 34-0, 21-12 and 13-6 before it lost 20-14 in overtime to Centralia in the Class 2-1A state championship game.
Oakley has played 23 playoff contests in the last 10 seasons, including a 3-0 game against Ellis in the third round of the 2009 postseason.
"Those teams that are successful find a way to take away what you do best," Webster said. "It's up to the offense to figure out how to counterpunch that. I never expect high-scoring games in playoff games, especially with the ones that we have been involved in with the last few years, because of the defenses that are involved."
On Friday, La Crosse, 10-0 and ranked No. 1 in Class 2-1A in the statewide media poll, plays host to Oakley (7-2) in the second round of the playoffs. After having one home game in the playoffs last season, the Leopards will have their second one this fall in front of new facilities.
This marks the first meeting between the squads since a 12-0 Oakley victory in the 2007 playoffs. The teams also split postseason contests in 2005 (a 46-0 Oakley win) and 2006 (a 56-28 La Crosse victory).
"It is pretty nice," senior Trey Renz said. "I do like the naps in the locker room before the game. It's awesome, because you get those La Crosse fans that maybe can't travel as far and they can actually come see the game. It's pretty cool."
While both squads have traditionally strong offenses -- especially La Crosse this year -- the teams each rank in the top-10 in the classification in scoring defense. The Leopards have outscored opponents 424-108, while Oakley has collectively beaten teams 286-116.
Oakley has won its last three games against Oberlin-Decatur Community, Ellis and Stanton County 16-6, 18-12 in overtime and 14-12.
"I know that's just the system that we use and it's been good for us," Oakley coach Randall Rath said. "That's kind of the way that we have tried to do things and sell to our kids that we feel if we play good defense, then we will always have an opportunity to win the football game."
Since the start of the 2004 season, Oakley has an 80-18 record and has won at least seven games every year except one. Under Rath, the Plainsmen have allowed just 11.1 points per game in that span. La Crosse is 87-15 with six double-digit victory seasons in the last seven years. The Leopards have allowed 15.9 points since the start of 2004.
Smith Center and Meade, the other two top Class 2-1A teams in the west in the last eight years, have allowed 10.7 points and 14.9 points per contest, respectively.
This season, La Crosse and Oakley have veteran lines with multiple seniors up front. The Leopards have veterans in seniors Matt Wagner, Renz and Nate Ruff, while sophomore Sheldon Schmidt and junior Jake Reifschneider have played well up front in their first year as full-time starters. Schmidt, the team's leader in sacks and also its starting kicker, injured his hip last Friday and is questionable for Oakley. If he can't play, senior Derrick Depperschmidt, a team captain, will start.
Renz has played with a cast after he broke his hand nearly a month ago. The coaches moved him inside on defense because of the injury, but Renz has never complained and still played solid.
"We are all working as a team, and we take it as a personal challenge to go up against the best lines in the state," Renz said. ""It's not that much fun for us to go up against a team that doesn't even know a proper three-point stance. We like teams like Oakley, like Plainville, that have pretty good lines. We just take it as a personal challenge to beat the person across from us."
La Crosse, under defensive coordinator Bill Keeley, the former Leopard head coach, mainly run a 4-3, but used multiple coverages against Ell-Saline's passing attack last week. Senior linebacker Kip Keeley recorded six tackles, a sack and a quarterback hurry and leads the team with 72 stops.
"Tried to get it to where they weren't predictable," Webster said. "Because we noticed on film, once (Ell-Saline) figured out what you were doing, they could adjust to it pretty easy."
Oakley has long played a relatively simple defense. The Railers' base is a 4-3, but they've used a five-man front depending on the personnel. Oakley have usually had a strong nose guard and has one again in 6-foot-2, 250-pound sophomore Ryan Kuhn. Rath said Kuhn "played tremendously" versus Stanton County and should be a great player by the time he is a senior.
"I know that when we play other teams, they probably wonder what we are doing because we don't change much," Rath said. "We feel if we know what we are doing, it makes us a lot faster defensively. I am just a big believer in getting aligned properly.
"I think that's huge in any level of football, especially in high school," he added. "We try to get aligned right, and the quicker you can get there, the presnap reads are a lot easier for us to determine, and that's something we stress a lot."

In this unknown village, there is a leader. Even though there
are only around 20 raccoons, there has always been a village
chief who took care of its citizens. He is a chief but
sometimes they would call him the Village Elder due to his old
age. The town has had generations of chiefs governing the
village, making sure everything is alright and that no one
leaves the village. It is unknown how time began for these
villagers due to them not developing any method of recording
history, so reasons why no one was allowed to leave the village
was unknown. The only things known as of right now is that
there are monsters that exists outside of the village, that is
what has been passed down verbally. These villagers do not know
what lies outside. They have remained safe in the confines of
the small community and no one had ever thought or had any
reason to explore. But there must have been a time that they
could leave. On the far east of the village there is a gate,
but nobody knows about this gate because it has been unused for
generations. It has been left unchecked and as a result, it is
rusted with vines grown all over, covering it completely,
making them blend in with the vines it is now wrapped around.
It looks like a part of the wall that it is attached to, so
everyone assumes there is no exit. Not even Nuttingham, whose
main goal in his life is to break through the boundaries of
this village and explore the world that has been cut off from
Oh, how desperate Nuttingham is to escape. He has tried it all.
He has tried to climb up the wall that surrounds the village
but the top of the wall has thorny vines to keep beast from
climbing the walls, which unfortunately keeps Nuttingham from
reaching the top. He has tried climbing the tall trees and
jumping form one to another, but there is a net made from the
same thorny vines, also to keep beast at bay, that keep him
from progressing. He has tried to use the cliff of the secret
spot and climb the sides until he exits the village, but he
doesn't have enough stamina to go through the 2 miles of
distance he needs to achieve his exit and always ends up
falling to the water on the bottom and swimming back to the
small shoreline of the bottom of the cliff. Though no one knows
of these stunts he has pulled, his sister has noticed his
constant struggle to leave the village. She knows of his desire
to explore the world that she does not know of. That is why she
constantly tries to convince the chief to let him go, and today
was one of those days. She waited out in the open where the
village chief usually passes by. The village chief is another
raccoon but he has a white beard on his face and wears a purple
cap made out of burlap. He spots Dawn as he goes on his routine
"Hello Dawn." he salutes. "How is your day going?"
"It's going fine." Dawn responds. "Village Elder, I want to
talk about Nuttingham. Why do you insist on keeping him in this
village when he wants to leave?"
"Because he is not mature yet."
"But he's old enough."
"Yes, if he was a raccoon, but he's a squirrel. You've seen his
actions. He's very childish. If he were a raccoon, 14 years
would be of age, but squirrels seem to take longer to mature.
Therefore, he is not ready to leave. He'll be in danger if he
leaves this village."
It was true. For raccoons, it takes 14 years to be a fully
mature adult and Nuttingham was a squirrel. He is the first
non-raccoon resident in this village, so the chief had no idea
how long it would take Nuttingham to grow up. He assumed it
would be the same as a raccoon but no sooner that Nuttingham
became 10 and did not show signs of maturity, he knew it would
take longer.
"But he's well capable of defending himself." said Dawn,
"Remember the giant spider from a year ago?"
"Yes, but he got injured in that battle."
"Village Elder, Nuttingham wishes to adventure. He yearns to
see the outside world."
"I understand his position. I also wish for him to journey
outside our village."
"So what's stopping you from allowing it?"
"The fact that he acts like a child. If he were more mature, I
would allow him, but if I send him out now, then I'll be
leading him to his doom."
"But I really don't wish for him to stay here if he does not
want to. He is always talking about going on a long and
exciting journey."
"See, that's the attitude that I'm talking about. He's been
romanticized by the various legends and folktales that we have
been telling him. Ever since he has defeated the giant spider,
he's believed that he could be such a legend."
"I understand that Nuttingham has a wild imagination, but that
shouldn't hold him back."
"But it does. He is mixing reality with fantasy. He is not
experienced enough to tell both apart."
"Well, what if someone goes with him. What if there was a
person that would travel with him?"
"And who do you have in mind? No one in this village has ever
left and explored. No one knows what is beyond this forest."
The chief let out a big sigh. "Dawn, I know you want Nuttingham
to explore the world, and you may think that he is ready, but
the truth is, he is not. Give him a couple of more years to
"You may say that but do you think he will wait? I have a
feeling he's going to sneak out of here one of these
"I know. That is why I set up guards around the walls."
"You'd go that far to keep him? You make it sound like he's a
"It's all for his own good. We can't let him sneak out,
especially without our knowledge, and especially in the
"Well I don't think that will stop him. He's going to somehow
sneak out. I just know it."
"I won't let that happen."
"Town Elder!"
"Dawn, you are very optimistic, but you must realize, it's very
dangerous to allow him to leave."
"But Elder-"
"And regardless of what you want or what he wants, I give the
final say and I say no."
"Town Elder-"
"I made my decision. I will not allow him to leave. That is my
final answer." The chief started to walk off, back to his daily
duties as Dawn just stood there and sighed.
Nuttingham grasped his axe as tight as he could. He swung it
with all his might against the tree trunk that had fallen due
to some kind of circumstance. Perhaps it was hit by lightning
by the thunder storm that happened weeks ago. Nuttingham didn't
care however because there was no way he was going to try to
chop down a standing tree. Even though he had immense strength,
his axe was very flimsy. It was nothing more than a sharpened
stone tied to a stick with rope. How Forest Fire chopped wood
with such a primitive tool, even for this village's standards,
was unknown to Nuttingham. He swung his axe towards the near
rotting timber in front of him. Crack! The wood chipped off. He
raised his axe again to repeat the process. Crunch! The axe got
stuck on the big chunk of wood. Nuttingham tried to nudge it
but to no success. He then pulled it as hard as he could. He
pulled harder when the axe suddenly slipped out of the wood and
Nuttingham was pushed back from the force. He fell down the
stacked logs that he had managed to cut and place behind him.
He got up and dusted himself when the blade suddenly fell off
from the handle. Disgruntled, he tied up the blade back in
place. He got in front of the fallen timber once more and
raised his arms to chop it. He swung it hard and the blade
bounced off the wood, hitting Nuttingham in the face.
Fortunately it was not the sharp edge but the back of the axe
that did so. Nuttingham fell down on the grass and as this
transpired, Lucky came in.
"How's the wood chopping going?" he said.
"Shut up." replied Nuttingham.
Nuttingham and Lucky sat on the big chunk of wood. "This job
sucks!" said Nuttingham, "I can't chop this hard wood."
"Come on." said Lucky, "Let's go play. We're supposed to
continue our adventure."
"But sis says I gotta chop this wood, and you know how sis is
when I don't do something she says."
"Well she won't mind a break. Come on Nuttingham."
"Yeah, I guess a break wouldn't hurt." Nuttingham then got up
on his feet on the ground. "Alright, let's go."
"Alright! Now where did we left off?"
"I don't know. It was your turn to remember where we left
"No. It was your turn."
"No it wasn't, it was yours."
"Nu-uh, it was yours."
"Argh. It's times like these that I wish someone would come up
with a way to put your thoughts on something so you can
remember it later on."
"Well there isn't, that's why you gotta remember them."
As the boys tried to regain their memory, they started walking
towards the secret spot. When they arrived, Nuttingham walked
up to the edge of the cliff and faced Lucky who was behind him.
"Okay," he said, "I think I remember. We were at the cliff
where you met the evil Crab King."
Nuttingham crouched down, spread his arms outwards, lifted his
tail upwards, and spoke in a gruff voice, or as gruff as a 14
year old squirrel could. "Alright Lucky," he started, "I got
your friend Nuttingham in my dungeon. Become my slave or
"Never!" said Lucky, "I will never surrender to you."
"Ho ho ho! Then your friend shall perish along with your
"That's what you think. I know your weakness."
"You're lying. No one knows my weakness."
"Well I do. It's salt."
"No. You found out my weakness, but you don't have any salt
with you."
"Yeah well unlucky for you crab king, we're standing on a cliff
with salt on the bottom. I'm going to use my power to make
a-Wait a minute," Lucky interrupted the performance because he
just remembered something, "didn't we use a crab mask when you
played the part of the crab king."
Nuttingham responded in his normal voice "Uhh...I accidentally
dropped it on the cliff."
"What do you mean you dropped it?"
"I was fooling around with it and I didn't strap it on tight.
Come on, let's keep playing."
"Umm...like I said," Lucky returned to his heroic tone of
voice, "I will use my powers to activate the salt."
"You fool," as did Nuttingham with his monster voice, "Salt
requires a lot of power. You will run out of power before you
can summon any salt."
"I don't need to summon salt. I'll summon a salt monster
"HA HA HA! Just try it."
Lucky moved forward in front of the edge. "Just watch. I will
use my powers to summon a salt monster to eat you. When I wave
my hand, a salt monster will...hey, are you sure that's how
salt works?"
"I don't know." Once again, Nuttingham broke out of character.
"All I know is salt comes from the big water. I think it comes
from the rain or something. Come on, let's keep playing."
"Uhh yeah...ahem...when I wave my hand, a salt monster will-
Hey, I see something on the bottom."
"What do you mean?" Nuttingham said as he stood up straight.
The two boys broke out of character and Nuttingham went to see
what was going on.
"Look." said Lucky, "There's something down there."
Nuttingham gazed at the bottom of the cliff, scanning it to see
if there was something off. "I don't see anything." The cliff
was 3 miles high off the ground and in the bottom lay a small
piece of land. This small extension of land didn't lead to
anywhere as it was just a small shore line with grass on top.
The cliff pretty much surrounded the area so the small
peninsula on the bottom just sat there with no purpose. Though
3 miles is pretty far, Lucky insisted that there was something
strange about it.
"Over there. See that spot?" said Lucky.
"What spot?"
"That spot over there."
"I don't see anything. You could just be seeing a rock."
"It doesn't look like a rock. It looks weird."
Nuttingham still did not see anything, however a chance to
explore was something Nuttingham would always volunteer. He
took off his shoes, grasped the floor, and started to climb
"What are you doing!?" said Lucky with a shriek.
"If there is something down there then I'll see for
"Hey come on, you'll fall and break your neck."
Nuttingham started to descend as he replied to Lucky "Don't
worry. I've been down there many times. I'll be careful."
Lucky didn't listen however and continued to urge Nuttingham to
get back up."Come on! Get back up! This isn't funny you know?
If you fall down, I'm not going to get you. Nuttingham, are you
listening to me!? You're going to fall and get killed!"
Nuttingham kept climbing down, one step at a time, careful to
not slip. When he was around 1 mile down, he looked down to
check but he still could not see anything. He kept climbing
down, slowly and steady. Around halfway of the second mile, he
finally spotted something. "I'm starting to make it out." He
tried to concentrate on making out the figure. He spotted a
white dot on the floor. It was still too high to make out any
details. He kept on climbing down and this time made it to the
second mile mark. "I think I can see it now." He concentrated
again to see if he could make out the figure on the bottom.
Nuttingham's eyes suddenly widened. "WHAT!?" he shouted. "NO!
It couldn't be!" with disbelief on his words, he continued to
climb down, this time faster than before. He wanted to confirm
what he saw so he scurried. Eventually he made it close enough
to the ground to jump down. He landed on the grassy shoreline.
He now saw it as clear as day: a white raccoon. It was just
like the other raccoons, except it had white fur instead of
brown. It was lying face down, unconscious. "I WAS RIGHT!"
shouted Nuttingham with a big smile on his face. "I can't
believe this! A white raccoon! This is unbelievable! I'm
meeting a white raccoon! I'm certain, I'm really certain that
he comes from the outside world. Oh man. I got so many
questions to ask!" then he gave a frown, "That is if he's still
alive." Nuttingham quickly grabbed the white raccoon and put it
in between his back and tail, using his tail to keep him firmly
in place. He started climbing up the cliff with rapid speed. He
was so excited, he could not wait to show everyone in the
village. After a few minutes, he finally reached the top. Lucky
was relieved to see Nuttingham okay but then his jaw dropped
from shock. "What is that?" he asked.
"Not what, who! I found a white raccoon!" Nuttingham said as he
was putting his shoes back on.
"A white raccoon!? I don't believe it!"
"Yeah, it's really exciting, isn't it!?" The two started going
forward, back to the village.
"Where did he came from?" asked Lucky.
"I don't know but he didn't fell from here, that's for
"Do you think he came from the outside world?"
"He had to. Where else would he come from?"
"Oh man. This is really exciting!"
"Yeah. Come on, Lucky. Let's get him to the village."
Nuttingham, with a giant smile on his face, ran as fast as he
could to the village. His excitement could not be contained any
longer, which drove him to go faster.
"Come on, hurry up! Push forward!"
"Come on, hurry up! Push forward!" screamed Blade.
"Yeah, don't make King Geo wait any more than you already made
him!" said Flame. The two Generals have brought the Wonder
Roosters to the court room of King Geo with our heroes hands
tied behind them. They had no weapons on them and the royal
guards of the tower were all invited to the court room to
witness the Wonder Roosters as they walked shamefully towards
the Demon King. The duo have been dragged from the Grimm
Forest, being paraded in front of the Astharians to show that
not even the adventuresome Wonder Roosters could defy King Geo
forever. When they reached the tower entrance, they were let
out of the cage and were in bondage all the way to the top of
the Demon's Tower. Now the Wonder Roosters walked the court
room full of pestering elf soldiers, taunting them of their
folly for not obeying King Geo.
"We finally captured the Wonder Roosters!"
"Victory is ours!"
After passing the gallery of rambunctious soldiers, the duo now
stood in front of the evil King, this being the first time they
have laid eyes upon him.
"Your majesty," said Flame, "we have finally brought you the
troublesome Wonder Roosters."

Topic: Galaxy Online / Suggestion: change 'range', 'lock target' choices
In general – great idea!
I would change the range thing though. Just let us set the range to desired number of spaces (enter a number or select from list)! It should not be hard to make it limited to min/max range of weapons on ships.
When it comes to targetting, id like to choose (add a tick) if my fleet shall continue attacking once attacked fleet till destruction, or not.
I don't think that there is need for distinguishing current/starting max attack/durability for secondary targetting. Just make all current. You could keep killing same fleet by marking tick i wrote about earlier.

@JessicaLynn - Yes, that does sound like a terrible position to be in: dealing with a disease and the side effects of the medication.
I've actually taken steroids before but I've never had to deal with this side effect. Most of the times I've taken steroids it's been orally but I did have steroids through an IV once. Luckily I didn't develop fat atrophy at the injection site!

Squishy driving
This free game lets you drive a squishy car through several themed levels.
JellyCar is an inventive and whimsical free game in which you drive a bouncy car through a series of 2-D puzzles on 15 short levels. What makes JellyCar unusual (besides its goofy soundtrack) is the game's "soft-body physics," which make your car and everything in the game world extremely squishy and reactive. The fairly simple controls make great use of the touchscreen--you can drive left and right, temporarily "inflate" the size of your car, tilt your device left and right to rotate the car, and pinch and zoom to change your view of a level. This seemingly straightforward game can be very challenging, and it takes a great deal of practice to master the controls--especially timing exactly when to grow, shrink, and rotate your car. Even beginning players, though, should be able to finish most levels, and the real challenge comes in beating your previous times. This is already a fun free game, but there's definitely room to grow, with the most obvious potential improvement being to add more levels.

Sending text messages to 9-1-1 is something few PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points) are ready to receive. The ability is in the works, however, and the FCC is working with carriers and 9-1-1 centers to roll out the service beginning this year. If you attempt to send a text message to a 9-1-1 center that is not capable of receiving it, after June 30, 2013 you will get a "bounce back" message telling you to use other means to reach 9-1-1. Prior to June 30, you will receive no notice that your message did not go through. Equipment upgrades and policy decisions must still be implemented in most PSAPs before they will be able to respond to text based 9-1-1 calls. If you intend to use text messages as a way to contact 9-1-1, you should check with your local PSAP to find out when they will be able to receive and act on your message. Until then, use voice, TTY, or relay services to reach 9-1-1.
Texting to 9-1-1 is just around the corner

Buran: The forgotten space shuttle.
The Buran spacecraft was a Soviet orbital vehicle analogous in function and design to the US Space Shuttle and developed by Chief Designer Gleb Lozino-Lozinskiy of RKK Energia. Buran completed one unmanned spaceflight in 1988 and remains the only Soviet space shuttle launched into space, as the Buran programme was cancelled in 1993. The shuttle Buran was destroyed in 2002 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome when the hangar in which it was stored collapsed.
Information from NASA Facebook post.
The Buran (means 'blizzard') fell victim to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989. It's one and only flight was unmanned, and flew completely remotely controlled, from lift-off to landing.
It affects each of us differently, at times

Is it somehow possible to move ones account from one region to the other? I am currently on the Nordic & East region, and I am getting really fed up now playing 3/4 games, with polish and russian people, who does nothing but goes around ****ing things up, laughing in their own language. It is really getting to me, not being able to communicate with your team, cos noone in this region speaks english, and those who does are 12 year old swedish trolls, who does nothing but ruin the game for everyone and then laugh about it. I wish to play on the western region, where I can hopefully play with some players, who is actually capable of speaking english, or at the very least, understanding it. Is there any way to move over, paid or free? Or am I stuck on this hellhole.
Juliusz Cezar
Yeah, just open store and enter to "Other" bookmark. There will be EU West transfer. Good Bye, My friend And its for 0 RP :P
Why is it free for me, but costs 2600 RP for my friend?

Senior Member
Quick question. Does Transfering to other region means losing your current league track? Do you have to climb once again from silver league up or do you keep your score?
I have one little problem with regions. I was orginally EUNE Member then I transferred to EuW then I went back to EuNE by accident (It was free) And now I don't have change to transfer back to EuW so can someone help me

Rochester Hills
By Linda Shepard
C & G Staff Writer
Police sketch
ROCHESTER HILLS — Police officials are looking for a man who broke into a local apartment and forced a woman to perform a sex act.
According to a police report, the man broke into an apartment at 1:18 a.m. June 13 in the 100 block of Woodview Court, in the Woodside Apartment Complex, near Rochester and Auburn roads.
The woman told police she was sleeping on her sofa when she woke to find a man standing over her. The man forced the woman to perform a sex act and then said, "Please do not call the police," the report states.
The man left the area on foot and is believed to have entered and left the apartment through a sliding glass door.
Police arrived with a K-9 unit and tracked the suspect for approximately 100 yards before the dog lost the scent.
Two previously reported suspicious person complaints within the last two months may be connected to the suspect. Woodside Apartment Complex residents reported a suspicious person walking around the area on two separate occasions. In both incidents, the suspect left the area before police arrived.
A Michigan State Police sketch artist completed a composite of the suspect, who is described as a black man with a medium to dark complexion, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, and approximately 40 years old. The suspect may be facing home invasion and criminal sexual conduct charges, the report states.
Those with information are asked to call the Oakland County Sheriff's Office dispatch at (248) 858-4911 or Crimestoppers at (800) SPEAKUP.

stage. As a child, she was in a ballet company and went to Booker's
Visual Performing Arts School. She later studied voice under Joseph
Her last band, New Sense, was together for two
and a half years before breaking up in the spring of 1997. (The drummer

BILL BOIS Bass, Guitar, Harmonica and Vocals email Bill |
Bill was a founding member of the
Boston punk outfit Psycho. During his time with the band, he started

With the two party system as it sits they need to be able to bargin with each other and make compromises which this sitting president has said he will not compromise or try and work it out.
But he will have talks with the new president of Iran and try to hammer out a deal about their nuclear ambitions. He'd rather deal with terrorists than the people of this country |

So, why is it bullshit when these representatives are doing what they were sent there to do? That's what the mid-term elections were all about. Most of those elected ran on a platform of stopping Obamacare. Now when they do what the people sent them there for they're called dangerous terrorists by the opposing party with claims of holding us hostage. Fear mongering. The real bullshit is no budget for about 5 years now, instead we have to constantly go through these continuing resolutions to fund the government. The real bullshit is all the laws Obama has either changed, waived or out right ignored, including provisions in his own signature law. Why isn't any of that front page news? You would think that the U.S. President waiving provisions of a federal law which bans the supply of weapons and money to terrorists so he can arm Syrian rebels (read al Qaeda) would be front page news. You KNOW it would be if the other party was in the White House, hell, it's giving aid to our enemies. The people are fed up and the slight backbone some elected officials are showing proves that.

Get Up and Go
Negotiating the Budget? Another thing that has been blocked. 18 requests over the past year by the Dems to go to committee and negotiate budget points. 18 denials and refusals to go to committee by the GOP. So now, the Government is shut down and the ACA is still going strong with new portions implemented today, including the Exchanges. Even John McCain said there was no way to stop the law, let's move on and try to fix what they think is broke. (paraphrasing here) And I love how Obama is being demonized for making a significant step in the right direction when it comes to peace with Iran. Laughable how it is being held against him. Besides I heard it said that he should have an easy time with the Iranians since he has had plenty of practice dealing with hardline religious conservative zealots over the course of the last 5 years. (that would be the GOP if you were not paying attention) |

Not directed at you here but on the budget, the first step is the president submits a budget request to Congress. The last budget Obama submitted IIRC, didnt even get one democrat vote. But let's blame that on the other party also. You know the party that's compared to terrorists. Extremism now equals constitutionalists. Sickening.

We also have the exemptions of obamacare for the senate and their families, congress and their families, the supreme court and their families and countless corperations and big unions. Why? As far as this being the law, it is up to congress to and they can overturn this, it is their job as congress to enforce and change laws. The majority of the American people do not want it nor like it including myself. My insurance just went up because of obamacare according to BCBS. A $250 deductible to a $4000.00 deductible. Socialized medicine is not the answer here it will only hurt the economy and will not give coverage to all Americans. |

Multiple acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is caused by mutations in the genes coding for the electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) and the electron transfer flavoprotein-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF-QO). These flavoproteins are essential for electron transfer from the fatty-acid beta-oxidation (b-oxidation) pathway to the respiratory chain: FAD is the electron acceptor for acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (first step in fatty acid beta-oxidation), and it donates electrons to ETF-FAD, reducing it to ETF-FADH2. The flavoprotein is restored to its oxidized form by ETF-QO, which transfers the electrons to Coenzyme Q10, via its iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster and FAD.
