Moving Forward Sans Merger - Research Report On United Parcel Service, Inc.
On the other hand, TNT shares went down 41% by last Monday's market close after the failed acquisition. Looking beyond this, analysts are still confident with TNT, believing that with the company's exposure to the Asia Pacific and Brazil, it is still an attractive takeover target.
Considering the market situation of both companies, there is definitely life after UPS for TNT, and vice versa. In the first place, many investors were cautious and not confident with the merger, resulting for both shares to go down. The failed acquisition was actually a relief. Both companies can now focus on the growth of their core operations. The lesson here is some things are better left alone.

We went to Mazatlan for the first time in January did a lot of research on the place to stay as the prices were all very similar. I read a review here on Tripadvisor and got in contact with the reviewer... interesting although she had not stayed at the Playa it was her reccomendation after walking the beach so many times and seeing what the properties had to offer.
She was right it was perfect.
We upgraded to Ocean View right away had a room on the side away from the bar restaurant room 411.. well worth the upgrade if you love the sound of the ocean!
The hotel is by far the Cleanest I have ever been too they never seem to stop.
The staff is friendly and helpful and it seemed all staff were great from waitors to bar to maids managers simply cnat say enough..
It is different though here I have alwas gone to all inclusive exclusivelly and this hotel had a lot of clients that were on a EP ..it makes things a little different in that you need to show your number each and everytime you eat or have a drink which was not a problem had we had a meeting with our rep ( who unfortunatly we never did see) to let us know how it all worked of course we managed but of would have been nice to have an orientation.
The food .... only downside to the food was there was definitly not enough vegetarian options salad bar was sparce ...also nothing is labeled... the food was good but generally not hot enough....
The a la cartes were excellant ( and hot)
We were fortunate to have been invited to a wonderful meall in the penthouse only about 20 of us it was excellant and a wonderful end to our vacation..
All and all this was a perfect place for us relaxing quiet..
And I amcertain we will go back..
i only wish they would get the salda bar issue figured out as I have a daughter I would ove to bring but she truly would not be able to eat there:(((

Featured news
After legally leaving Hong Kong for Moscow, and despite having his U.S. passport revoked, the former NSA sysadmin and analyst has formally requested asylum from Ecuador after he became convinced that the Hong Kong judiciary might jail him until the U.S. extradition request is considered.
It is unknown whether the Latin American country has granted him asylum, but he has failed to board an Aeroflot plane heading for Cuba for which he allegedly had a ticket and his whereabouts are currently unknown.
According to The Washington Post, the U.S. has charged Snowden with theft, unauthorized communication of national defense information, and willful communication of classified communications intelligence information to an unauthorized person, and each charge could entail a sentence of 10 years in jail - 30 if he's convicted of all.
As the U.S. government is trying to force Western Hemisphere nations to detain Snowden if he lands on their soil and extradite him to the U.S., WIkiLeaks and its attorneys and activists have apparently joined Snowden and are helping him reach his final destination (ostensibly Ecuador).
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has, in the meantime, released a statement with which he is trying to switch the attention of the public from Snowden to his leaks and the U.S. government actions and reactions. (As a side note, Ezra Klein and Evan Soltas over at WaPo offer an insightful take on this particular problem)
Since Friday, the documents he shared with reporters of The Guardian have revealed another spying scandal - this time in the U.K. It seems that the British spy agency Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) has secretly tapped over 200 fiber-optic cables carrying the world's phone calls and internet traffic and has been sharing information acquired thusly with the NSA. For those too busy to read it all, here is a short recap of the item by Wired.
Snowden has also shared with the South China Morning Post that back in 2009, the NSA had hacked computers belonging to Pacnet, one of the biggest fibre-optic networks in the Asia Pacific region.
In the meantime, U.S. pundits have expounded on the importance of metadata, have focused on the legal plight of journalist Barrett Brown, have reported how Google had handed over emails of WikiLeaks volunteers to the U.S. government and had apparently wiretapped email accounts of Members of the European Parliament, and have pointed out that NSA surveillance may be legal but that it is also unconstitutional.
It has also been revealed that in 2011, Obama had mandated the creation of an inter-agency Insider Threat Program whose aim was to detect and prevent government leakers, and threatened employees who failed to report security infractions and violations.

sense that I recall Jordan's is, and that didn't stop him from "cutting

Tolkien was also cyclic as well as teleological. "Always after a defeat
and a respite, the Shadow takes another shape and grows again," says
Gandalf. Nor, Tolkien makes clear, is this the last time, though it is
the last time for Sauron the individual. Tolkien even began a story,
"The New Shadow", about the return of evil only a lifetime after the War
of the Ring, and though he abandoned it, it was not because he'd changed
his mind about this.
David Bratman
- not responsible for the following cycle - - Lisa -
Since the panel description on the Chicon website reads "J.R.R. Tolkien
and C.S. Lewis are the best known of the group, but there were other
Inklings too," it seems to me that what you're really on is a Charles
Williams panel. He's the real "other" Inkling, and the only other one
who wrote fantasy, so he's the one you should focus on. And it so
happens that since our book of Williams has actually been published, I'll
bring a copy along and you can show it off on the panel.
Sayers can also be mentioned, but she was a Friend Of, not an Inkling.
The other Inklings most worth mentioning, to an audience which doesn't
want the boring scholarly blither that I'd probably contribute if I were
a panelist, are:
W.H. Lewis - CSL's brother, author of some delightful volumes on French
history of the Louis XIV period (especially _The Splendid Century_) and a
superb diarist: selections of his diaries have been published under the
title _Brothers and Friends_, and are a good picture of CSL as well as
interesting in their own right.
Nevill Coghill - a literature professor at Oxford, he specialized in
drama and directed some notable Shakespeare productions, as well as
Richard Burton's film of Marlowe's _Doctor Faustus_; but to a literary
audience he should be most noted for his fine translation of Chaucer's
_Canterbury Tales_, in the Penguin edition.
Owen Barfield - somebody other than me will have to try to boil him into
a paragraph, but essentially he was a philosopher of language whose
thought deeply influenced both Lewis and Tolkien and enriched their
work. The Barfield books to start with are _Poetic Diction_ and _Saving
the Appearances_: the latter in particular will be appreciated by anybody
who was interested by Julian Jaynes's _The Origin of Consciousness in the
Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind_. Barfield's influence on Tolkien is
well described in _A Question of Time_ by Verlyn Flieger.
Good luck!

The 13 Most Important Kitchens on Television, from the 'Brady Bunch' to 'Breaking Bad'
The actress who played the down-to-earth center of the Brady Bunch household, Ann B. Davis, aka Alice Nelson the housekeeper, died Sunday in Texas, and Baby Boomers and latchkey kids across the country cried out "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" in grief. Because there was no Alice catchphrase. Here at the Bon Appétit offices, we've vowed to never forget our favorite sassy TV domestic. So we spoke with walking television encyclopedia Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television & Popular Culture at Syracuse University about which fictional kitchens throughout TV history were the most important. "The television kitchen is mission control, the place from which the sorties are launched out of to the rest of the world," he says. And, yes, Alice once again takes center square.
Leave It to Beaver
"There you have the kitchen as the last gasp of the old gender identity," Thompson says. "June Cleaver is the remnant of the old female world order. The kitchen was where June would talk to the kids in her somewhat oblivious way. But it was in Ward's den where the episode would always end, and the children would receive the male wisdom. It was a very gendered thing going on there."

PoliticsMexico's new level of transparency As Mexico struggles with corruption, the municipality of Tlajomulco bucks trends through new levels of civic engagement. Duncan Tucker | 23 Dec 2013 06:43 GMT | Politics, Latin America, Mexico Tlajomulco's mayor believes economic performance can be improved by enhancing transparency [AFP]Tlajomulco de Zuniga, Mexico - Mexican politics has long been undermined by a lack of trust and transparency, with the public holding little faith in officials notorious for indulging in acts of corruption. But in one small corner of the country, a remarkable transformation has taken place in the last four years - one that could provide a model for building a more open and democratic society. In 2009 the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zuniga had one of the least accountable governments in Mexico. Now, governed by the liberal Citizens' Movement, it boasts the most transparent administration in the country, according to Cimtra, a nonprofit accountability watchdog coalition. By adopting a number of innovative and progressive policies, Mayor Ismael del Toro and his predecessor Enrique Alfaro have won the confidence of their constituents and succeeded in engaging them in the local political process. A considerable achievement given that the political parties, local and state police forces and city governments are considered the least trustworthy of 22 public institutions, according to a 2012 survey by Parametria, a Mexican pollster and market research firm. Endemic corruption Mexico was a one-party state for much of the last century, with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) ruling from 1939 until 2000. Politicians were largely unaccountable and enjoyed immunity from prosecution while in office up to as recently as March 2013, when Congress passed a law stripping all but the president of this legal protection. Since Mexico made the transition to democracy its rating in Transparency International's Corruptions Perceptions Index has actually worsened, falling from 37 in 2001 to 34 in 2013 (with 0 being 'highly corrupt' and 100 being 'very clean'). But Tlajomulco has bucked that trend. The municipal government has facilitated greater public participation in decision making and taken the bold step of introducing referendums that enable voters to revoke its mandate to govern if dissatisfied with its performance. As a result of such policies, the del Toro administration became the first to receive a perfect score of 100 in Cimtra's 2013 study of government transparency. This stands in stark contrast to its previous score of 34.2 in 2009 when the right-wing National Action Party (PAN) was in power. Some citizens, such as retired Tlajomulco resident Cesar remain sceptical of such studies. "I don't believe it," he told Al Jazeera. "Politicians are all the same. They're all corrupt." Others like Manuel, a local construction worker, have been left with a better impression. "Of course I think they're doing a good job," he told Al Jazeera. "They're giving out free school equipment and uniforms, that's really great because there are a lot of poor people here in Tlajomulco. It's good that the government has got its act together," he said. The most important thing is that you win the trust of the public. This brings other benefits, like the payment of taxes, which has risen by 30 percent each year because people are beginning to trust the government. - Ismael del Toro, Mayor of Tlajomulco de Zuniga , Cimitria Zepeda, who tends a stall near Tlajomulco's tranquil central plaza, told Al Jazeera that she has much more confidence in del Toro than past mayors, who "crushed us instead of supporting us." "This is a government that fulfils its promises. The mayor and his whole administration are all very humble and accessible," Zepeda said. Raising public revenue Mexico's federal government is currently pushing fiscal reforms with the aim of increasing tax revenue, but del Toro believes that economic performance can also be improved by enhancing transparency and reducing corruption. Tlajomulco's finances have certainly prospered since the Citizens' Movement took power. Having slashed unnecessary expenditure and encouraged the payment of taxes, the government has doubled its budget from 860 million pesos in 2009 to 1.6 bn in 2014, del Toro told Al Jazeera at his office in the Tlajomulco Administrative Centre, an impressive, modern facility constantly buzzing with activity. "The most important thing is that you win the trust of the public," del Toro said. "This brings other benefits, like the payment of taxes, which has risen by 30 percent each year because people are beginning to trust the government." This is no easty feat in a country where half of the workers labour in the informal economy and total tax revenue is lower than in any other nation in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The increase in tax returns was spurred by the adoption of a "participatory budget" in which citizens vote on what their taxes should be spent on at the start of each fiscal year. Adopted four years ago, the policy is unique to Tlajomulco, according to Raul Hernandez, who works for the municipal government in business development. "When you pay taxes, you have the option to say what the money should be used for. There is a public survey with various options and whichever gets the most votes is then carried out," Hernandez told Al Jazeera. "This has enabled citizens to see that their taxes really are used in public works and services, and this has led to the municipality reclaiming more resources," del Toro told Al Jazeera. "This entitles it to receive more resources from the federal government, which rewards you for strong financial management." Enhancing security "The economic problems and the lack of opportunities and education for young people are at the base of the problem. It's very easy for a young person to turn to crime so we must work to fortify the national economy and generate employment and opportunities in order to combat the root cause of the problem," del Toro told Al Jazeera. "We are constantly working to bring greater investment to create jobs in the municipality. We are also working to recover public spaces and we've built a network of 17 public sports facilities, where we organize sporting and cultural events," he added. The aim of such initiatives is to encourage young people to engage with their community and resist the allures of gang life, del Toro explained. A sprawling industrial district in the western state of Jalisco, Tlajomulco made international headlines in February 2012 when the Mexican army seized what it claimed was a record haul of 15 tons of methamphetamine at a laboratory hidden amidst the sun-baked scrubland. Although fighting organized crime remains a top priority, del Toro believes that military force is not necessarily the most effective means of doing so. Clamping down on corruption is an important aspect of the war on drugs. The Mexican government is currently in the process of evaluating the trustworthiness of every police officer in the country. Many officers have been found to be on the payroll of organized crime and it is not uncommon for entire forces to be dismissed, as occurred in the Pacific port of Lazaro Cardenas in November. "We are working to strengthen our police force," del Toro told Al Jazeera. His administration is currently in the process of firing over 100 municipal police officers who failed recent evaluations, although it does not yet have the resources to replace them all. Beyond Tlajomulco Del Toro notes with pride that some of his party's more popular policies are now being replicated outside of his municipality. "Our programme for free backpacks and equipment for schools has already transcended Tlajomulco," he told Al Jazeera. Launched four years ago by his predecessor, Alfaro, the programme was extended to every municipality in Jalisco by the state government in August. However, if the Citizens' Movement is to export its model of transparency then it may need to win control of the state, as del Toro noted that other administrations across Mexico are simply "not interested" in prioritizing the issue. "One of our objectives as a party is to govern the state in 2018," del Toro said, although he refused to be drawn out on whether he plans to run for governor. The Citizen's Movement currently governs 90 municipalities across Mexico, including nine in Jalisco, most notably the Pacific resort of Puerto Vallarta. The party came within four percentage points of winning the state governorship in 2012. Follow Duncan Tucker on Twitter: @DuncanTuckerSource: Al Jazeera

Jessica Ann Frech Bath
Jessica Ann Frech Bath of West Chester Jessica Ann Frech Bath, 27, died on Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Jess was born on November 30, 1984 in Cincinnati, Ohio and moved to West Chester when she was five. She was a 2003 graduate of Henderson High School and the Culinary Institute of America. She enjoyed being with her family, eating in restaurants, reading, gardening, and music. At age 12 she decided she wanted to become a chef while helping at Three Little Pigs Restaurant, where she loved to work. She followed her passion. She most recently worked as a chef at Wegmans in Downingtown where she loved her job and fellow employees. Her job allowed her to share her zeal for food and its presentation with as many people as possible. Nothing made her happier than to see the smiles on people's faces while they enjoyed the food she prepared. Jess dreamed of owning her grandparents' farm in Crocus, Kentucky, where she envisioned making a living growing micro greens. She is survived by her parents, David and Sheila Frech, her brother, Derek Michael Frech, grandparents, Fred and Joan Frech, uncles, Keith and Dewey Frech, and her boyfriend, Claude Willis. She will be buried on her family's beloved farm in Kentucky. Gone way before her time, her enthusiasm and joy for life will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Donations in her memory may be made to Safe Harbor of Chester County, 20 North Matlack Street, West Chester, PA 19380.

Who, not what
by Joe Cornely
Lately, when writing a news release or talking to a radio reporter, I find myself adding a phrase to our name. Ive taken to preceding Farm Bureau with the members of.
Just as most folks are now disconnected from farming, theyre unfamiliar with who our organization is. Notice I said who, not what. Farm Bureau isnt something; were a bunch of somebodies.
Thats an insight often lacking when were talked about in the media. Farm Bureau isnt some abstract institution. Farm Bureau is you, your neighbors and friends who decide what your organization believes and how you intend to act on those beliefs.
It made my day to read reporter Teresa Salizzonis story in the Logan Daily News about the Hocking County Farm Bureaus policy development meeting. It gave an all-too-rare glimpse into who Farm Bureau is and how we do things.
And yes, as a staff member, I feel privileged to use the word we. Whether in the counties or state office, Farm Bureau employees are proud to contribute to the causes deemed important by our members.
Congrats to Hocking County and its organization director Ashley Schappacher for putting on a great meeting and helping show the world how the members of Farm Bureau engage their communities and get things done!
Joe Cornely is senior director of corporate communications for Ohio Farm Bureau.

Stock Futures Nudge Higher Ahead of Fed Decision
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were nudging slightly higher Wednesday as investors maneuvered cautiously ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy update and amid more worrying news out of Iraq.
Federal Reserve officials will publish their June policy statement at 2 p.m. EDT. That will then be followed by a press conference with Fed Chair Janet Yellen at 2:30 p.m.
The last time rates were adjusted was on Dec. 16, 2008, though quantitative easing was tapered by $10 billion during the last four meetings. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg, on average, aren't expecting a change in rates.
The focus Wednesday will continue to be on the topic of tapering, with the market additionally looking for language on tightening, said Birinyi Associates. Firms that provided targets predict there will be an additional $10 billion of tapering announced Wednesday and that this pace of $10 billion cuts per meeting will continue.
After analyzing FOMC releases over the last two years, Birinyi Associates noted that 69% of the time the market traded lower by 11 basis points from the 2 p.m. FOMC announcements to the close, and was down an additional 20 basis points, on average, the following day 62% of the time. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were rising 3 points, or 6.51 points above fair value, to 16,732, S&P 500 futures were up 0.25 points, or 0.41 points above fair value, to 1,934, Nasdaq futures were ahead by 4.2 points, or 3.88 points above fair value, to 3,776.50. U.S. markets rose on Tuesday, though continuing tensions in Iraq and cautiousness as the Fed began its two-day policy meeting capped any big gains. Oil prices were spiking after Reuters reported that Sunni militants have attacked the largest oil refinery in Iraq and took control of the production units, administration building and four watch towers, or 75% of the refinery. In Europe, markets rose for a second day Wednesday as investors awaited the outcome of the U.S. Federal Reserve monetary-policy meeting and digested minutes released Wednesday from the June 4-5 Bank of England meeting. Individual stocks in focus Wednesday include General Electric (GE), Amazon.com (AMZN - Get Report), FedEx (FDX), Adobe Systems (ADBE - Get Report) and Red Hat (RHT). General Electric is considering the sale of its train-signaling business to France's Alstom in an effort to raise the appeal of its $17 billion offer for Alstom's energy business and to counter a bid from Germany's Siemens (SI) and Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Amazon.com is expected on Wednesday to unveil its first smartphone, a device that could sport a 3-D screen, at a launch event in Seattle. Shipping giant FedEx surpassed quarterly earnings expectations by 10 cents at $2.46 a share, with revenue also beating estimates. Adobe Systems' second-quarter earnings and revenue topped analysts' expectations. Red Hat, that maker of open source software, is forecast by Wall Street to report fiscal first-quarter earnings of 33 cents a share on sales of $414 million. -- By Andrea Tse in New York June 18 Premarket Briefing: 10 Things You Should Know European Stocks Rise for a Second Day as Fed Meets Fed Talks, Solar Stocks Inspire Market GainsCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

New 'Guardians' TV Spot Gets Back to What's Important: Good Music
Joan Jett and the Runaways soundtrack the new advertisement for Marvel Studios' "Guardians of the Galaxy."
After a surprisingly orchestral score to the last Guardians of the Galaxy trailer, we're back to classic rock with the new TV spot for James Gunn's summer space opera. Next up on the intergalactic playlist? The Runaways' "Cherry Bomb."
As much as the multiple trailers demonstrate how fun Guardians looks — and this latest spot, with slightly more of a glimpse into the antagonistic relationship between Chris Pratt's Star-Lord and Bradley Cooper's Rocket Raccoon, continues to make the movie look very fun indeed — let's take a moment to appreciate what the ads have really been doing: Making us appreciate James Gunn's taste in music.
STORY 'Guardians of the Galaxy' TV Spot Teases 'Unstoppable Threat' (Video)
Seriously, prior to the first trailer, would you have thought of "Hooked on a Feeling" as anything more than an annoying earworm? How often had the riff from "Spirit in the Sky" gone through your head since watching that second trailer? And now "Cherry Bomb" is added to that mental playlist.
Guardians of the Galaxy will be released Aug. 1. Watch the new TV spot below.

John le Sage
John Le Sage | |
Born | John Merry Sage 23 April 1837 Clifton, Bristol, England |
Died | 1 January 1926 London, England |
(aged 88)
Occupation | Journalist, editor |
Spouse(s) | (1) Ellen Augusta Kent (m. 1862-1865) (2) Clara Ellen Scott (m. 1868-1873) (3) Elizabeth Lord (m. 1874-1926) |
John Merry Le Sage (23 April 1837 – 1 January 1926), was a British journalist and newspaper editor.
Born in Clifton, Bristol, Le Sage was the son of John Sage and his wife Elizabeth, née Godfrey; Le Sage would adopt the "Le" for his last name during middle age. He began his career in journalism when he was employed as a reporter for The Torquay Directory and South Devon Journal, later working for the Western Morning News. In 1863, he obtained a position with The Daily Telegraph in London, beginning an association with the paper that would last for sixty years.[1]
Le Sage worked primarily as a foreign correspondent. Though not regarded as a great writer, he was best known for providing the first reports of the German troops marching into Paris during the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. He was also present during the period of the Paris Commune, as well as the coronation of Tsar Alexander III. He enjoyed a good relationship with first Joseph Moses Levy and then his son Edward Levy-Lawson, successive owners of the Daily Telegraph. When the senior Levy died, Le Sage was named as editor, though Levy-Lawson exercised firm control over the newspaper until he became Baron Burnham in 1903. As editor, Le Sage continued the traditions laid out by his predecessors, focusing on the middle class reader and ignoring criticism of his practices.[1]
Though Le Sage proved a successful editor, by the early 20th century he was having difficulties keeping up with changes in the journalistic profession. Hampered by his age and an unwillingness to delegate responsibility, he nonetheless continued on as editor and was knighted in 1918 in recognition for his services to journalism. Le Sage retired from his post in June 1923 and died on New Year's Day, 1926, at his home in Fulham.[2]

Carnival Victory past cruisers
When does the Victory have its Lifeboat drill. Late night of sailing, or the next day ???
I believe it is a Coast Guard requirement to have the drill before departing the port of embarkation
When we went it was at 9:30pm, half an hour before sail away.
I dont think thats accurate. I believe it has to be conducted within the first 24 hours. |
just before sail away
Life boat drill
I think the rule is that the drill must be done in 24 hrs or when it leaves to a
non - U/S port. The reason I say this is we were on a Costa ship years ago. From Fort Lauderdale a 7 day carribean cruise. At 4 p.m. we left the dock and I felt the ship moving. I turned to my wife and said why didn't we do the life boat drill? She and I just did not know and all the other passengers were asking about that first evenig. At that point we had been on over 10 cruises. But here is what happenend. Out first Port was Key West. That is when it happened. It was aroung 9 a.m. So I guess the moral of the story is you just don't when it will happen. Ed |
Thanks Dotte
Thanks Dotte
Last time we sailed from San Juan, the drill was the next day. One of our group signature events is the Champagne Sail-Away party from the corner balcony. On a normal afternoon departure, the party is always after the drill. We were not sure when to schedule the event until now. Thanks. |

The Livingston County Sheriff reports they have received several complaints from citizens in regard to scam phone calls.Citizens have been receiving phone calls from a person claiming to be with the IRS or other federal agency. The caller claims that the citizen has an outstanding warrant for their arrest, and, needs a lawyer, because they owed back taxes.Yet another scam in the Livingston county area includes calls from various 800 numbers (800-266-2012, 800-250-2403, 800-304-3183, 800-304-7876) claiming to be from ATT&T. The callers indicate they are giving customers one hundred or five hundred dollars credit on their phone bills if customers go to the website www.attgoesfree, and, enter their account information to win.The website is not a legitimate AT&T website, rather, it is a scam set up to get personal information.

House of the Dead rocks the house, although the party is cut off short with it's limited gameplay.
· A really fun arcade game. It's just fast paced enough to be considered an exercise.
· Shooting a zombie in the chest gave you a glimpse of what we could do with gore, such as damaged character models.
· Hard bosses give you a little more challenge than the zombies you face everywhere else.
:Bad Idea:
·The voice acting is horrible. It's like they hired people without personalities to talk in a mic.
· The graphics, even for when it was released, were not quite there compared to games like Half-Life or Rainbow Six.
· Really, really short. Maybe 30 minutes to an hour of gameplay.
· Despite being incredibly short and lacking in the graphics/sound department, this is a killer game with a good amount of replay if you don't mind fighting off the same things.

Sassieon Dupris - INDICA
Artist: Sassieon Dupris
Producer: Mic West
Album: Love| Fear| & Fantasies II
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 7 votes )
Like many other R&B singers before him, Sassieon Dupris has chosen to make his DJBooth debut with a love song. But the relationship depicted on INDICA is slightly nontraditional, consisting of a man, a woman and a girl named Mary Jane. Over a blissfully mellow instrumental by Mic West, the Oklahoman recording artist celebrates the simple pleasure of getting lifted with someone you love, delivering his verses in a blunted near-whisper. Will you be flipping INDICA on next time you light up with your main squeeze (or on your lonesome, if you happen to be single)? If so, you'll undoubtedly find more to your liking on Love| Fear| & Fantasies II, scheduled to drop digitally August 14.

Can DNA Demand a Verdict? Genetic Witness: Science, Law, and Controversy in the Making of DNA Profiling (9780813541884): Jay D. Aronson. Methods of DNA Fingerprinting by Carl DiGiovanni. Methods of DNA Fingerprinting by Carl DiGiovanni DNA fingerprinting is a relatively new technology used to link blood, semen, or hair found at the scene of a crime to the DNA of a suspect (Roberts, 1992).
DNA fingerprints can also be used for individual identification and paternity testing (Jeffreys, 1993). Although DNA fingerprinting is useful for identification and paternity tests, many experts have argued over things like the methods used to match two DNA samples, quality control in the labs, and the statistical methods used in determining a match (Roberts, 1992). Methods for determining DNA fingerprints were first described by Alec Jeffreys in 1985. Nature_article.pdf (application/pdf Object) DNA Fingerprinting, Genetics and Crime: DNA Testing and the Courtroom. The frequency of the DNA profile obtained from the stain on White House intern Monica Lewinsky's dress was reported to be 1 in 7.9 trillion.
Since the population of the world is estimated to be only a little more than 6 billion--much less than 7.9 trillion--the question naturally arises: Where does this number come from and how was it calculated? As we will see, this calculation involves assumptions about the genetics of the population itself. DNA Fingerprinting, Genetics and Crime: DNA Testing and the Courtroom. Extract DNA from the forensic sample, the victim, and the suspect DNA profiling is typically employed in two scenarios, in violent crimes such a murder or rape and in paternity (or grand-paternity) cases. The amount of biological samples available, whether it be blood, semen or hair, may often be old and in poor condition. DNA Fingerprinting, Genetics and Crime: DNA Testing and the Courtroom.
"Everyone's different. " We are all reminded of the veracity of this old adage just by looking around us in a crowd. With the exception of identical twins, it is not difficult to distinguish one individual from another. DNA Fingerprinting. DNA fingerprinting has established itself as an efficient and highly accurate means of determining identities and relationships.
It has practically revolutionized the field of forensics, especially concerning rape cases. DNA profiling, as the process is more appropriately called, involves the visualization of special segments of the human genome, which are unique to each individual. These special segments, called Standard Tandem Repeats (STR), can be cut out and separated from the rest of the DNA by two processes: mapping Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLP) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Serial Killer Claims DNA Testing Is Flawed – Appeal Denied. Convicted serial killer, Timothy Spencer, the Southside Strangler, appealed his death sentence.
He claimed that he was factually innocent, scientists did not adequately perform the DNA testing in his case, and that DNA testing is a flawed science. He was wrong on all accounts. WHO DONE IT?

DNA Interactive: Discovering the DNA Structure and beyond. DNA profiling. DNA profiling (also called DNA testing, DNA typing, or genetic fingerprinting) is a technique employed by forensic scientists to assist in the identification of individuals by their respective DNA profiles.
DNA profiles are encrypted sets of letters that reflect a person's DNA makeup, which can also be used as the person's identifier. DNA profiling should not be confused with full genome sequencing.[1] DNA profiling is used in, for example, parental testing and criminal investigation. The DNA profiling technique was first reported in 1986[3] by Sir Alec Jeffreys at the University of Leicester in England, United Kingdom,[4] and is now the basis of several national DNA databases.
Dr. Jeffreys's genetic fingerprinting was made commercially available in 1987, when a chemical company, Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), started a blood-testing center in the U.K.[5] Create a DNA Fingerprint. In the last 15 years, DNA has played an increasingly important role in our legal system.
Tissue evidence is now routinely collected during criminal investigations in hopes that it will provide genetic clues linking suspected criminals to crimes. DNA profiles help forensic investigators determine whether two tissue samples -- one from the crime scene and one from a suspect -- came from the same individual. Fortunately, the genetic comparison doesn't require that investigators look at all of the DNA found in the tissue samples. 2.1b Activities. 1.
Virtual Lab 1: DNA Electrophoresis The Biology Place Click on the follow link to complete a virtual lab activity. In the virtual lab you will apply the gel electrophoresis technique to samples of DNA that you have been provided with. The DNA samples have been cut by restriction enzymes through a restriction enzyme digestion reaction.
Using gel electrophoresis you will separate the fragments and analyze your results by comparing your unknown sample sizes to known standard sizes to assist in calculating the sizes of the unknown samples. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs) Restriction enzymes cut DNA at precise points producing a collection of DNA fragments of precisely defined length.
These can be separated by electrophoresis, with the smaller fragments migrating farther than the larger fragments. One or more of the fragments can be visualized with a "probe" — a molecule of single-stranded DNA that is complementary to a run of nucleotides in one or more of the restriction fragments and is radioactive (or fluorescent). If probes encounter a complementary sequence of nucleotides in a test sample of DNA, they bind to it by Watson-Crick base pairing and thus identify it. Polymorphisms are inherited differences found among the individuals in a population. RFLPs have provided valuable information in many areas of biology, including: screening human DNA for the presence of potentially deleterious genes ("Case 1"); providing evidence to establish the innocence of, or a probability of the guilt of, a crime suspect by DNA "fingerprinting" ("Case 3").

State camping and harbor reservations available through mid-September
Contact: Jason Fleming, 517-284-6098 or Ed Golder, 517-284-5815 Agency: Natural ResourcesMarch 12, 2014
Michigan is starting to see the first signs of spring, and camping season is not far behind! The online reservation system for Michigan state parks and harbors is now accepting reservations through mid-September 2014. Campsites and harbor slips both fill up quickly as the weather gets warmer, so state recreation officials recommend making spring and summer plans now to avoid the last-minute rush.
Reservations can be made online at www.midnrreservations.com or by calling 1-800-44-PARKS (800-447-2757).
"We want our guests to have the best possible experience with Michigan's award-winning state parks, starting from the moment they make their reservation until they leave our parks with cherished memories," said Ron Olson, chief of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Parks and Recreation Division.
The DNR upgraded to a new, improved campground reservation system on Nov. 1, 2013. The system features site-specific reservations all season long, broader search capabilities and photos of each campsite. Reservations are available within a six-month window, so residents are encouraged to explore the new system and make reservations well in advance.
"Because reservations can be made up to six months out, the window for July and August campsites has been open for several weeks now," Olson added. "We are seeing many sites being reserved, but there is still some availability at many of our guests' favorite campgrounds."
The Recreation Passport is an easy, affordable way for residents to enjoy and support outdoor recreation opportunities in Michigan. By checking "YES" for the $11 Recreation Passport ($5 for motorcycles) when renewing a license plate through the Secretary of State (by mail, kiosk, online at www.expresssos.com or at branch offices), Michigan motorists get access to state parks, recreation areas, state forest campgrounds, nonmotorized state trailhead parking and state boat launches. In addition, Recreation Passport holders can enjoy real savings at businesses and retailers that participate in the Passport Perks discount program. The Recreation Passport is valid until the next license plate renewal date. Nonresidents can purchase the Recreation Passport ($30.50 annual; $8.40 daily) at any state park or recreation area or through the Michigan e-Store at www.michigan.gov/estore.
Learn more about this creative way of sustaining Michigan's outdoor recreation and natural resources at www.michigan.gov/recreationpassport.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state's natural and cultural resources for current and future generations. For more information, go to www.michigan.gov/dnr.

There is no way to say for sure, but I would bet that the artist that created that skin for the mount that sold in the auction house was on the current team that produces content for the game. They could have been making a mount for a new quest in game but instead it went to the item shop. What is sad is a game is meant to be played for fun .. not buying stuff with a credit card for fun.

Originally posted by Wraithone You are really strongly in support of Blizzard squeezing more money from what you would have normally gotten with your sub fee. I know corporations love customers like you. As customers we are in control of how much we pay for services/products. When Blizzard started placing items in a shop to buy instead of putting them in the game for your sub fee, if the majority with have cancelled their account just for one month .. you would have seen that trend stop immediately. That shiny pricy horse then would have been placed in the game and the company would test other price gouging methods in the future. They test the waters to see what they can get away with and I can't believe how many people wasted money on a digital horse. Congrulations you are speaking with your wallets "we want less for our money!". This isn't a casual versus hardcore argument. This hurts both parties. You speak with your money. If items are too hard to obtain via in games mean, quit the game and tell them why .. they would then start making items easier to obtain. If you enjoy swiping your credit card for items by all means keeping shelling out the cash for what you would have gotten in the game in the past for your 15/month. Because this is what you are telling them. I will gaurantee you are about to see much more in the item shop soon that would have been in game. I voted already on how I felt about the item shop when it was introduced. I quit the game. Sometimes you have to do something out of principle. |

Originally posted by pepsi1028 I don't think that is the case at all anymore. What the developers do to get money today is pour tons of money into advertisements and flashy graphics. Same goes for music for the most case for that matter. People today are told what games are number one by advertisements so they start to believe it. The developers with the most money produce the most advertisements. Most games today have no substance and are designed to milk the customer. This goes for single player games as well. Games are made smaller in length today so the rest of the game can be sold in expansion packs and digital downloaded content. The only games I play anymore it seems is games made by indie developers. They still have passion for making a fun compelling game. |

Casual Game = Game with Little Content No one in their right mind should be advocating for "casual" MMOs. Developers love it because it makes it to where they have to have very little content to complete. I don't care if you think you are "casual" or "hardcore", a game that take a long time to complete is good for both groups. It means you are getting more game for your money. And for the person stating Vanguard was "hardcore", I imagine you haven't played it. SOE has turned it into one of the shortest games there is to finish it. If you want to play a game that takes a long time to complete today, it doesn't exist. |
