A Means to Disseminate Honest-to-God Leaks
By oblivion437
Posted on 02/02/15
Wikileaks, though technically not a wiki, provides an easy means to disseminate information that some find it desirable to share against the wishes of those who find it desirable to keep secret. Aside from the morality of the leaking itself, such a service provides a look into the activities of...
WWE Smackdown! vs. RAW 2010

What do these ratings mean?
Fighting the possum pin.
WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 2010
is like receiving a great offer for a credit card in the mail. In big, bold letters on top of the letter, it has
everything you would ever want
: 0% APR for the first six months, a balance transfer option, no annual fees, a rewards program, and no liability on unauthorized purchases. Then you start to read all the exceptions in the fine print, and you realize that this is just the same deal that they've have been hawking for years. Used wisely, it's still one of the best offers around, but you don't feel as psyched about it as you did at the start.
WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 2010
touts plenty of new features, more than the average annual installment in the franchise (so get ready for a long review), but nearly all of them have unwelcome limitations. Though most of these shortcomings are understandable, they will nonetheless tick off more than a few diehard wrestling fans, both hardcore fighters and creation artists alike.
Learning from their recent success with
UFC 2009 Undisputed
, THQ throws you right into an interactive tutorial, a practice ring where you can get accustomed to the rearranged controls and moves without having to flip through the manual. Like other practice modes in other fighting titles, you can control the difficulty of the A.I., set the momentum meter, and swap in different wrestlers. There is, however, no way to use one of your created characters, and the provided checklist for each move is buried in the menu screen.
Among the new maneuvers that players will appreciate are moves on the apron, allowing you to execute a wider array of attacks, grapples, and transitions along the edge of the ring with ease. Ultimate control grapples aren't mandatory anymore, giving you more choices when creating or editing a moveset, and you can now transition fluidly between the four strong grapples. Moreover, finishers and grapples specific to Royal Rumble have been added, as well as neat win-or-lose mini-games that occur near the ropes, to make the match type more about trying to toss opponents out of the ring.
Reversals, once separated between strikes and grapples, have been condensed into one button (right trigger) for any reversal type, and you have the option to turn on reversal indicators. Hardcore players who have mastered the two-button reversal system will feel slighted, but this simplification does level the playing field and gives players no excuse for not knowing how to counter.
The momentum required to use a finisher can no longer be stored either. Since the momentum bar resets if you don't pull off the finisher in time, this intensifies the all-or-nothing dynamics of the system and makes the moves leading up to the finisher that much more important. You don't want to give your opponent the chance to run away and leave your finisher out to dry.
The HUD for momentum now centers about the wrestlers' feet instead of cluttering the screen. You can turn this off as well, but then you won't know when you can use a signature or finisher move. On the other hand, the standard health meter that shows the condition of each body part (head, body, arms, and legs) has also been removed. This isn't completely debilitating since wrestlers still hold their heavily damaged limbs. And hey, it's a throwback to the days of
WWF No Mercy
when all you had was a spirit gauge. Still, it probably would have been better if there was an option to show or conceal a variation of the health gauge instead.
In addition to featuring Randy Orton, Edge, Shawn Michaels, and John Cena (with Triple H in co-op), this year's Road to Wrestlemania mode also includes a plot for WWE Diva Mickie James and for a created WWE Superstar [
Hopefully not the story of
her ruptured implant
. ~Ed
]. Where Mickie James demands more respect for Divas, who commonly play the role of eye candy and trophy girlfriends, your created wrestler has no plans to be in the WWE until Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella calls him out of the crowd for being a weakling just like everyone else in the audience.
The mode still works as before, pitting you through a gauntlet of various matches with different win conditions (complete special conditions to unlock special match types and items), while answering your cell phone and being the typical muscle-bound badass in cut-scenes. However, each Road to Wrestlemania path is extremely linear: The few decisions you
make only change up some win conditions or what wrestlers appear in a cut-scene or match. It just makes you wish for the more full-bodied and lengthier story modes from the past.
There are also a few moments when the mode doesn't tell you what you're supposed to do. I spent several minutes brawling with a few bodyguards in Mr. McMahon's office until I realized that I had to break some of the furniture. In fact, a reminder of the goal and movelist should appear during
of the numerous match types (including the new Championship Scramble). No one should have to flip through the manual to figure out how to do something, let alone win.
On the creation modes, let me give you some good news first. The graphical improvement for the Create-A-Wrestler (CAW), thanks in part to the new 3D parts, now makes your created characters look on par with the models of the actual superstars. Not only do CAWs have up to three additional slots for alternative attires, but how created wrestlers improve stats has been made clearer and easier. As your CAW wins matches, you can spend points that can be distributed however you like between the eight attributes, making sure that you increase the maximum point value for each attribute by using its associated skills (for example, the maximum hardcore stat increases by using weapons and drawing blood). Not only that, but your CAW also gains experience by being in
match in
mode against
opponent, human or A.I..
Unfortunately, the 3D objects in CAW mode also come with a point system that assigns a point value to each type of clothing, accessory, and tattoo. Having 48 points might seem like a lot, but when a jacket can be 16 points, you're probably not going to walk out looking like Randy Savage anytime soon. Current WWE Superstar trends may demand that you strut down the entrance runway wearing nothing except some black spandex underwear and a chic, custom-made pair of boots, but that doesn't mean your fantasy character needs to be one pull away from being in a
bad porno
too. That your CAW can earn experience everywhere he goes - even in Exhibition mode - is convenient, but that also makes the CAW-centric Career mode almost unnecessary.
Not many people will be using the new Superstar Threads or Paint Tool, either. It's nice that you can change the colors of each clothing part on a superstar, if just to keep up with
Rey Mysterio's mask of the week
, but the mode could have been more than palette swaps. If THQ wants to maintain a certain wrestler's image, someone should have asked each WWE Superstar on the roster what other clothing they would approve of wearing in the ring. The Paint Tool is also a nice idea, allowing players to draw their own tattoos and logos, but using it is like trying to use MS Paint to draw, well, almost anything
Instead, the Story Designer is probably where many creation addicts will be spending their time. Giving you almost full directorial control over the angle, setting,
, and facial emotions of over 100 animated scenes, as well as the type, win conditions, and even wrestlers' health for every match, you can create 10-years worth of fantasy material. Do you want John Cena to lose the #1 contender spot for the WWE Championship at No Way Out because Batista hit him with a chair backstage while he's being seduced by Maryse
Gail Kim
Kelly Kelly
the ghost of his ex-girlfriend in just the first week? Oh, the man-drama!
Better yet, if you have
neither the interest nor time to make a story
, someone has probably already made one that you'll like online. Not only can players upload and download any created content, if just for safe-keeping, but they can review, comment, sort, and preview all of the online content. Hands-down, this is the most revolutionary feature to come out in the franchise in a very long time.
But regardless of your Shakespearean pursuits, there are several downfalls. The total number of CAW appearances in a created storyline is 10; so if you have 2 CAWs in 5 matches and scenes,
that's it
. You can get around this by making chapters, but as a measure to regulate the online servers, it still makes a deep cut in the CAW community. To add insult to injury, you cannot edit entrances, appearances, movesets, entrance music, or highlight reels for downloadable characters.
In trying to uphold the presentation and 'PG' image of the WWE brand, THQ and Yuke's have blurred the lines of gender equality in a way that will spark petitions on message boards. While women can now compete in any match type - except for Inferno Match, First Blood, Hell in a Cell, Last Man Standing, and Royal Rumble (yeah, it's a lot) - a woman cannot fight against a man in a one-on-one battle. On the flipside, a woman can play the male role in any of the Story Designer scenarios, but there are some scenarios where you can't cast a man in the female role, even if the man is a created character who wears a bra and a bikini and has a Diva-styled moveset.
Now I can go on for days about equality between the sexes amidst a culture of male-straitjacketing and gender-based marketing, but I won't. What I will say is that THQ doesn't want to get sued and be labeled as the company that allows under-aged boys to make a 7'2" bodybuilder with a thong who can mount an almost-nude 5'4" woman, punch her in the face ten times, and throw her into a fire. Now, that also means that they can't make a
kick-ass 5'4" woman
who can mount a perverted 7'2" bodybuilder, punch him in the face ten times, and throw him into the same fire. So I'll leave it up to you to decide whether this situation of "equal inequality" is worth it.
Finally, the only way I can finish this review (Duke is probably looking at the PC Clock right now [
Damn you, Nick, get out of my head. ~Ed
]) is to cram the rest of my notes together in a quick rundown. Clipping still remains rampant. Even the arms on one of my CAWs began spazzing out. Rope physics are a nice touch, but makes clipping worse. Some submissions like the Tazmission or Ankle Lock still don't lead to a tap-out. Some tag team moves have been unceremoniously dropped.
On the good side, Create-A-Finisher has extra moves, and you can create finishers from atop the turnbuckle. Wrestlers can now have allies and enemies. Finishers can go into slow-mo. Blood can splatter on a wrestler's chest. Manual targeting has been added (never turn it off). Loading times are ridiculously fast. And a model of Duke himself is apparently somewhere in the crowd (let us know if you find him).
WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 2010
could have been so much more, and yet it
more. The enhanced character models, lightning-fast loading times, authentic WWE presentation, reconfigured match types, better CAW stat-building, the new Story Designer, and the online upload/download server mean that most fans of the franchise will clothesline anyone who gets in their way to the register. But just as many fans will be disappointed by the CAW point system, CAW restrictions in Story Designer and as downloadable characters, gender restrictions, the ho-hum Career mode, and the polished but still linear Road to Wrestlemania. It's not as much "Your World Now" like the debut trailer claims, as it is "Your World Now. Some Restrictions Apply."

Justin Chaffin,
Algal Ecology
GK-12 Fellow (Partnered with Caine Kolinski, Clay H.S.)
I received my B.S. in biology from Bowling Green State University in May 2007 and my masters in biology from University of Toledo in August 2009. My master's research was focused on the eco-physiology of Microcystis blooms in the turbid waters of western Lake Erie. Other research projects that I have participated in include mayfly bioturbation impacts on phosphorus concentration, crayfish behavior response to novelty, abundance of a predatory zooplankton species, quantifying annual Microcystis bloom biomass, and feasibility of Lake Erie algae species as possible bio-fuel candidates. My Ph.D. research addresses the intensely debated question in lake management: Should nitrogen inputs into lakes be regulated (along with phosphorus) to control eutrophication? I am researching nitrogen as a potentially limiting nutrient in Lake Erie, the difference between nitrate and ammonium, and will there be any improvement to Lake Erie water quality if nitrogen inputs are regulated. I really enjoyed by first year in the GK-12 program at Clay High School, and I look forward to starting my second year in the program so I can share my passion for science with high school students and hope I can motivate them to enter college as a science major.

Our logo redesign represents a beacon reflecting security lighting, our technological advancements and the synergies which exist between our Lighting and Security divisions."
To assist in this endeavor, the Company engaged the services of Dudley Davenport, a branding executive who has expertise in building global brands and has worked with a number fortune 500 companies.

Aw, shucks... Thank you Judith and Geoffrey! It took me awhile to settle on this one and to finally post it. I really appreciate the reassurance!
This is beautiful, the transparencies are fantastic. Somehow it reminds me of a chaotic patchwork quilt.
Thank you, Voodoo! Thank you so much, Heather. This process is akin to an everchanging cut & paste jigsaw with many transparent overlays, and I piece it together very much like patchwork.
I must've overlooked this one last time I went through! I could get lost for hours moving my eyes along all the swirls and movements. Absolutely gorgeous! :)

In the first Mid-South Conference action of the season, both the St. Catharine men and women came up short at West Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon. In a steady downpour, the Patriot women lost 4-2 while the men fell 4-0.
After spotting the Golden Bears a 2-0 lead the Patriot women fought back to make the score 3-2 at halftime. Amy Wurfel scored one goal for the Patriots, while the second came when the ball was deflected off a Tech defender into the goal off a corner kick by Monica Milesky.
OK, I can take a hint!
A Washington County man was killed early Saturday morning in a one-vehicle accident.
Frederick E. Bushey II, 21, of Springfield, was traveling north on Johnson Road about two miles outside of Springfield around 2:30 a.m. when he lost control of his 2007 Ford truck. The truck left the highway and struck a tree.
Bushey was wearing a seatbelt, but was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a report by Kentucky State Police.
KSP Trooper John Adams of Post 15 in Columbia is investigating the accident.
The St. Catharine College Patriots traveled to Circleville, Ohio, last weekend and got in a whole lot of volleyball in the Ohio Christian University Invitational Tournament. The results, for the most part, were favorable as the Patriots won five of six games to improve to 10-16 for the season.
"I thought we played to our potential," said SCC Athletics Director Mike Doig. "We played with a lot of energy and excitement. It was a fun brand of volleyball to watch."

The dreaded flu bug. It seems like it's everywhere, and chances are good that you'll run into it some time this year. But the first line of defense against the nasty virus is to get your annual flu shot.
The Washington County Health Department has been administering the vaccine for a couple of weeks and has already given around 300 doses, which according to Rod Mattingly, a community health educator for the Washington County Health Department, is a conservative estimate.
If you don't normally plant a fall cover crop on your vegetable garden, you should seriously consider it. There are many benefits of fall cover crops of which I will discuss in this article.
When you plant a fall cover crop, you eliminate many of the summer annual weeds from seeding, thus killing millions of future seedlings from germinating next spring and summer (how many weeds are going to seed right now in your garden?).
After two winning matches on the road, the Washington County Commanderettes hit their home hardwood last Thursday night against the Bethlehem Banshees for a district match-up that could have a big impact on district pairings.

A huge fire swept through Umpiem Mai refugee camp in Thailand on February 23, 2012, destroying over a thousand homes. Children who hardly had anything to begin with have lost absolutely everything. There are over 4,000 children living in this camp.
The award winning documentary, 'Crossing Midnight', is set on the border of Thailand and eastern Burma. 'Crossing Midnight' tells the story of a remarkable community of refugees from Burma working against incredible odds to help their own.
Directed by Jeanne Hallacy
Bo Kyi, a former political prisoner in Burma and co-founder of the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners–Burma, appeared at the the auditorium at The City Library to present the eye-opening documentary, "Into the Current: Burma's Political Prisoners," on March 20, 2012.
As the U.S. relaxes its official policy of sanctions against Burma's brutal military regime in response to the high-profile release of hundreds of political prisoners, Bo Kyi's stories of daily torture that continues despite the January prisoner releases bring rare insight to a topic making headlines around the world today.
Bo Kyi spent seven years inside what the US Campaign for Burma calls the country's notorious "living cemeteries," and after escaping to Thailand in 1999 he dedicated his life to securing the release of others who remain Burma's political prisoners.
"The Burmese government released 651 political prisoners in January, but that leaves more than 1,300 still behind bars," says Bo Kyi. "Their mental and physical suffering is unbearable, and even those released are still blacklisted because the Burmese government doesn't recognize the existence of political prisoners. They can't receive passports, and they still have very few basic freedoms."
Bo Kyi received Human Rights Watch's Freedom and Human Rights Award in 2011 and their Alison Des Forges Defender Award in 2009 for his "extraordinary activism and heroic efforts." He was imprisoned for his role in pro-democracy activities that ultimately led to the years-long house arrest of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi.

"Hiko, there is something I must tell you. I am not who I appear to be." He changes his face back to its original form. "I was hiding my true face because I used to be a bad person...I...had many enemies and if they did anything to you..I wouldn't be able forgive myself."

Hiko frowned, tilting her head to the side and looking at him, the sadness clear in her eyes "You...lied to me?"
Phantom nods sadly. "Yes, I did...I didn't really want to. I don't want to see you sad like this."
Hiko looked away "I...I don't understand..."
He pulled Hiko into a hug. "But I still am the same Eric on the inside. You are still my mate and I still love you Hiko.."
Giavanna watched the two sadly, feeling very badly for Hiko, less so for Phantom. Though she couldn't understand their language, she was able to tell that both of them were upset.
Hiko looked at him an nodded, cuddling into him "You're not going to change right?"
Phantom keeps his embrace and kissed her. "If you want I can still take my winged form for you, and don't worry. I won't become bad or anything like that. I am still the same old Eric."
Hiko nodded, smiling slightly "I don't mind what you look like, just take whatever form makes you most comfortable."

Something Blue Address Labels Loved everything about them and thanks to magnet street for all the dedication to getting me the defect product!
Something Blue Address Labels I order the 'something blue" save the dates and return address labels. I love that I was able to customize them. I loved the design but wanted them in my wedding colors. By the time I was done the something blue was completly purple and orange even down to the lace background. I love them!
Great labels!
Something Blue Address Labels These labels came out perfect and were very affordable. I also ordered 75 save the date cards and loved how I can truly personalize every aspect of them. No other site that I could find were this affordable and allowed the amount of personal design as Magnet Street.
Caught for a loop
Flower Enchantment Envelope Seals I thought the design choices were excellent and the personalization options too. However when I received the finished the product I thought it was only good. Mass producing does make it impossible for each invite to be perfect. And I was very disappointed when I received my envelope liners that didn't automatically come with an adhesive. I felt that the company withheld the fact that I had to purchase adhesive separately. It was like selling a postage stamp and having to buy the sticky backing separated. After complaining to the company I got even more bitter because they explained it away as a personal preference.
Nice Label set!
Autumn Stroll Address Labels We ordered these for our save the dates. They are great for a fall wedding. The quality of paper printed on is nice and sturdy...

Mita Kapur is not new to the literary world, despite being a first-time author. Here she opens up about the writing – rather the cooking – of her book, The F Word.
From organising literary events to writing about lifestyle and women-centric issues; from handling multiple authors simultaneously to heading a literary agency (Siyahi), Mita Kapur has done it all. It now appears that the lady was also a cordon bleu cook with an exhaustive knowledge of cuisine and cooking techniques! Stepping out of the closet and making the great cross-over from handling authors to becoming one herself, Mita Kapur presents her lip-smackingly delectable debut book, The F-Word.
Food writing seems to be finally coming into its own. Considering we live in a country known for its rich and diverse cultural cuisine, why do you suppose it has taken so long for food-centric writing to take its place in the sun?
We've only just begun... food writing in India needs to explode since we have such a vast reservoir of food traditions, recipes and stories connected with both. In its own manner, writing about food helps document socio-economic-cultural transitions of a region and it's essential that we do justice to it before losing out on the multi-layered diversity; actually "diversity" as a word doesn't do justice to what we have...
Do you think television and its sensational hostesses are responsible for presenting cookery in its glamorous new avatar?
It does seem to be working. I've heard many people say "I love watching Nigella; she is so sensuous". On the whole, food and cookery shows on TV have contributed to creating a buzz around the culinary world. Look at how popular "Highway on my Plate" is with Rocky and Mayur.
You're a familiar figure in the literary scenario, handling events, authors and, presently, heading the literary agency Siyahi.... When and why did you decide to cross over and turn author yourself?
Writing is a quiet process; no one comes to know when you do write... it's the events that get highlighted! If I don't write for a few days, I start getting crabby and impatient. Siyahi's work is constant but some part of the night is kept for tapping away on the key pad. This book was written for my kids; I wanted to give them something that they'd value and pass on.
Why did you choose food as the topic for your debut book?
It's a pretty conventional story. I used to watch my sister cook and was always fascinated by how each dish comes together. I love eating and experimenting, so cooking became a natural corollary. Consciously observing the changes in the kitchen, as a reaction to changing lifestyles, made me think about it. Added to this was the fact that I am a part of a food-crazy family. I wanted to share some stories and make people identify with cooking as fun and creative and not a chore.
The title of the book is deliberately provocative and misleading!
It was intended that way.
Is every recipe in the book tried and tested by you?
Yes... each recipe has been cooked and tested many times.
You've been very frank in discussing the child-rearing years of your life, not hesitating to bring up some private and sensitive matters. How do your kids react to this?
My kids were very open to the idea; I guess they've also learnt to be frank and upfront about everything so their reactions were normal, as if, it was the done thing to do.
Now that we've sampled the appetiser, can we look forward to more dishes from the kitchen of Mita Kapur?
Yes...work is on....am back to learning but it will take some time.
Anything else, you'd like to say....?
No, just that I had a lot of fun writing this book...
From the book
We hurtled up the rough, craggy hills in a four-wheel drive, swerving dangerously to avoid sharp edges. The evening breeze whipped against our faces and our racing heartbeat warned us to hold tight. There was another open jeep racing down the same hill. Why was it swaying so recklessly towards us? Shatrunjay raised his hand and said, 'Khama gani, see you at Seengh Sagar later.' The driver was a lady. Her head was covered and the pallu of her sari was tucked under her arm. Her 90-year-old mother was seated next to her. 'She has some gumption, driving over a no-roads terrain with such ease,' I thought. Shatrunjay spoke with immense pride: 'That's my mother; she takes care of the kitchen.' What would otherwise be assumed as a normal duty for a 'head-covered' woman, had different implications here. She was on her way to oversee the cooking of the evening meal. The 'kitchen' happened to be the Deogarh Mahal's, with its huge scale of operations.
I was introduced to the lady in question over succulent soola grilled on charcoal, in a serene landscape gently illuminated by candles. The valley spread before us, the sounds from the forest filled us with tranquillity – nature and man seemed to coexist in perfect harmony. I walked over to the chulha where another 'head-covered' lady was deftly rolling out makkai ki roti, while keeping a keen eye on the dal. A playful toddler gleefully ran up a small sand hill and rolled down, squealing happily at the clouds of dust he raised. Throwing green chillies, ginger, garlic into an earthenware pot and smiling at the protesting sizzle, the lady said, 'Dal ko chamka lagayo.' 'Chamka' as in tadka, or tempering. It made the meal dance for me. In many ways, cooking is like performing a dance – the rhythm, beat, timing, expression… I smiled and went back to the Rani of Deogarh, Bhoo Ratna Kumari, who has led an action-packed life with her husband, the ruling Rawat of Deogarh, Nahar Singhji. She immediately launched into food talk.
Lal Mas
1.5 kg meat (mixed pieces)
60 g garlic paste
4 tbsp ghee
250 g onions sliced
250 g curd
6 green cardamoms
24 dry red chillies, stems removed
4 brown cardamoms
1 tsp heaped cumin seeds Fresh coriander chopped
4 tsp dry coriander powder
Salt to taste
1 tsp turmeric
Method: Clean, trim and pat dry meat pieces. Add red chillies, cumin, coriander, turmeric and salt to the curd and whisk well. Heat ghee and sauté garlic till light golden. Add onions, green and brown cardamom and sauté till onions are golden brown. Add meat and sear on high heat till meat changes colour. Remove pan from fire, add curd and return to medium heat to let it cook. When curd dries and masala looks done, add 6 cups of water. Cover and simmer till the meat is tender. Garnish with fresh coriander.
Tips: You can choose to sieve the gravy; I do. You can choose You can choose to sieve the gravy; I do. You can choose to pressure cook the meat; I don't. There is nothing like trapping the flavours within the mixture of ingredients and giving them the liberty to bring the best out of each other. Don't hurry them up.
Lal maas is a typical Rajput dish. If you notice, there are no tomatoes. It's made from the local ingredients that were found easily during hunting expeditions, which was one of the favoured pastimes of the Rajputs.

Dear Mark: Does the Liver Accumulate Toxins?
Posted By Mark Sisson On May 16, 2011 @ 9:29 am In Dear Mark,Nutrition,Protein | 78 Comments
Liver confuses and confounds many of us. It looks weird, gives off an odd mineral smell, and has a unique texture. We try to reconcile our horrible memories of Mom's bone-dry renditions of the stuff with all the ethnographic literature describing how hunter-gatherers share precious slivers of the raw trembling organ immediately after a kill. We appreciate and acknowledge the superior nutrient profile of four ounces of beef liver compared to five pounds of colorful fruit [7] even as the shrink-wrapped grass-fed lamb liver direct from the organic farm sits in the freezer untouched. And then we wonder whether it's even safe to eat, because, you know, it's the "filter" – the only thing standing between an onslaught of environmental toxins and our vulnerable bodies – and filters accumulate the stuff they're meant to keep out. See colanders, coffee filters, water purifiers. Liver, then, is many a Primal eater's Everest [8]. Tantalizing but fraught with seeming danger. Okay, the question:
I was reading your post about organ meats. I have always heard liver was nutritionally valuable, but I hear the same thing about bread.
Maybe I am wrong, but isn't the liver a filter? Doesn't it filter poisons and toxins from the body? If I eat liver, am I ingesting the poisons and toxins of the animal? Seems to me there will always be residual poisons in liver. What are your thoughts on this?
To call the liver a simple filter is incorrect. If we want to maintain the metaphor, it's more like a chemical processing plant. The liver receives shipments, determines what they contain, and reacts accordingly. It converts protein to glucose, converts glucose to glycogen, manufactures triglycerides, among many other tasks, but its best-known responsibility is to render toxins inert and shuttle them out to be expelled – usually in the urine via the kidney. It doesn't just hang on to toxins, as if the liver is somehow separate from the body and immune to contamination. The liver is part of the body! If your liver contains large amounts of toxins, so do you!
Okay, so we've established that the liver is a processing plant by design, rather than a physical filter whose express purpose is to accumulate toxins, but what about animals raised in industrial, intensive operations? The liver from a pasture-raised cow [9] with a perpetually cud-filled maw can undoubtedly handle its relatively light toxic load; the liver from a CAFO-cow [10] feeding on grain and exposed to environmental pollutants is surely another matter entirely. Right? Sorta, although it's more complicated than that.
The liver can definitely accumulate heavy metals, but it is not alone in that, nor does it always particularly excel. A 2004 study (PDF [11]) of liver, kidney, and lean meat from cattle, sheep, and chickens randomly selected from ranches in Lahore, Pakistan, found that all three tissues accumulated significant amounts of certain metals. Let's see how the metals were distributed throughout the various cuts of beef, since that's what most of us are eating for liver:
Beef liver contained 52 ppm arsenic, 0.42 ppm cadmium, 2.18 ppm lead, and 31.47 ppm mercury. Beef kidney contained 47 ppm arsenic, 0.9 ppm cadmium, 2.02 ppm lead, and 50.65 ppm mercury. Beef lean meat contained 46.46 ppm arsenic, 0.33 ppm cadmium, 2.19 ppm lead, and 62.39 ppm mercury. So, liver accumulated the most arsenic (but not by much), less cadmium than kidney but more than lean meat, and significantly less mercury than kidney and especially the lean meat. All three cuts contained roughly equal levels of lead.
However, another study (PDF [12]) on cattle raised on pasture in the vicinity of metallurgical plants (and their fallout) in the Slovak Republic found that the liver did accumulate significantly higher concentrations of lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, iron, and nickel than muscle meat. What does this tell us? Don't eat heavy metal contaminated beef, especially liver and kidney; any and all cuts of the animal will accumulate dangerous levels of heavy metals if the animal is exposed to inordinate amounts.
Another study (PDF [13]) examined how aflatoxin, when fed to a cow, was distributed throughout the animal's tissues, with particular emphasis on the internal organs. Researchers dosed a 160 kg calf with 52 mg aflatoxin per day for five days, then slaughtered the animal and analyzed its tissues for aflatoxin levels. Aflatoxin [14] was found in all cuts, but it was concentrated mostly in the kidneys and, to a lesser extent, the liver. Lean muscle meat contained 12.9 ng/g aflatoxin, heart contained 16 ng/g, spleen contained 18.5 ng/g, kidney contained 145 ng/g, while the liver contained 47.1 ng/g. So, eating a 100 gram portion of liver from this calf would give you 4.6 mg aflatoxin, which is pretty high. Not enough to kill you (the LD50 for baboons [15] is 2 mg/kg bodyweight) on the spot, but it's probably enough to cause some problems if you make eating aflatoxin-contaminated beef liver a regular habit. Luckily, commercial cattle ranchers aren't dosing their cattle with 52 mg aflatoxin per day, and aflatoxin doesn't occur naturally in pasture. It's a mold that grows on grain stored in damp, humid conditions. Corn, especially improperly-dried corn stored in tropical or sub-tropical regions, is particularly susceptible to aflatoxin.
Those are the worst-case scenarios. Either the researchers purposely dosed the test animals with massive amounts of toxins or they selected subjects from heavily-polluted areas. Most meat and liver you get comes from animals raised in comparatively cleaner (if not more humane) conditions. Not even the staunchest corn-and-candy feeding cow ranchers want their animals eating aflatoxin-contaminated corn or munching on lead-and-mercury infused feed. It would be bad for business and they monitor this type of thing [16].
Still, people worry. Just to be sure, let's take a look at studies on toxin accumulation in the livers of free-living livestock, as opposed to livestock living in contrived conditions. One study [17], which looked at cadmium, lead, and mercury levels in the organs [18] and meat of healthy horses, cattle, and pigs, found that heavy metal accumulation was generally higher in the liver but not enough to affect human health. Another [19] examined lead and mercury residues in livers and kidneys of Canadian chickens, cows, and pigs; all levels were below the official Canadian tolerance of 2 ppm for lead and 0.5 ppm for mercury. Both studies are from the mid-70s, but more recent studies [20] looking at mercury accumulation in cattle have had similar results. Livestock, even CAFO livestock, just aren't exposed to toxic levels of heavy metals.
Liver can accumulate toxins and heavy metals, but so can every other part of the animal. If you avoid liver because of toxins, you should probably avoid the rest of the animal, too. Besides, liver isn't an everyday type of cut. It's high in vitamin A and copper, high enough that eating a half pound a day is excessive and counterproductive, even without any toxins getting involved. Note that an animal only has one liver, and eating large amounts of it every day is evolutionarily novel. Traditional cultures didn't prize liver because it was easily obtainable in large amounts, you know. It was a nutrient-dense treat, so consume it accordingly – as a weekly delicacy to be savored and enjoyed. As long as you're avoiding animals in polluted, toxic environments (and I'm not talking CAFOs here; I'm talking industrial waste and heavy metal runoff) eating contaminated food (which you should be doing anyway, even if you don't eat liver!), liver is a safe addition to your diet. Livers from organic, pasture-raised animals are obviously going to be tastier (almost sweet, in my experience), more nutritious, and cleaner, but I think you can safely eat the occasional liver meal from conventionally raised animals, too.
How often do you eat liver? Are you worried about toxins? Did you realize the liver isn't like a simple filter, but instead like a processing plant?

Study: Crystal Skulls are Fake
Public interest in the mysterious crystal skulls has been reawakened by the newest Indiana Jones film, but a new study claims that those found in the British Museum in London and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC are fake.
Writing in the Journal of Archaeological Science, researchers found that the skulls were created with tools that weren't available to ancient Aztecs or Mayans.
Margaret Sax, from the British Museum in London, and Professor Ian Freestone, from Cardiff University, and their colleagues used sophisticated techniques to determine the two skulls' origin.
"There are about a dozen or more of these crystal skulls. Except for the British Museum skull and one in Paris, they seem to have entered public awareness since the 60s, with the interest in quartz and the New Age movement," Professor Freestone said.
"It does appear that people have been making them since then. Some of them are quite good, but some of them look like they were produced with a Black & Decker in someone's garage."
"There seems to be the assumption that if it is roughly worked, it is more likely to have been made by a traditional society. That's untrue of course, because people were quite sophisticated. They might not have had modern tools, but they did a good job."
Through using an electron microscope, researchers were able to determine that the skulls were created using rotary wheel technology, which was almost certainly not used by pre-Columbian societies. Instead, they were crafted using tools made from stone and wood.
X-ray diffraction analysis showed that carborundum, a synthetic abrasive material, which only came into use in the 20th Century, was involved in the making of the artifact from the Smithsonian.
Professor Freestone said that evidence points to the skull being made during the 1950s or even later.
Although the maker of the skulls is still unknown, some researchers still believe that Eugene Boban, a 19th Century French antiquities dealer, is to blame for the one housed in the British Museum.
"We assume that he bought it from, or had it made from [craftsmen] somewhere in Europe," said Professor Freestone, a former deputy keeper of science and conservation at the British Museum.
The London skull was probably manufactured no more than a decade before being offered up for sale.
A spokeswoman for the British Museum said the skull would remain on permanent display.
The skull held by the Smithsonian was donated to the museum anonymously in 1992, along with a note saying it had been bought in Mexico in 1960.
Nothing is known of its history before that date, but like the British object, it was probably manufactured shortly before being purchased, experts said.

Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
I've got a fairly new Samsung TV and Xbox 360. Neither of which detect my phone. Is there a manual on how to get this to work? I enabled Nearby devices and shared everything out yet when I open a pic or video on my phone I don't have the option of streaming it elsewhere.

Re: Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
It does work. I did it this morning when I was getting ready for work.
First the phone and the xbox must be on the same network cuz thats how dlna works. If your xbox isnt connected to a router it wont work.
2. Once the xbox boots to the menu, go to your phone. Go into the stock music player and play a song. Now hit the menu button to the left of the hone button. Scroll through the menu and select scan for nearby devices. It should find it. Now back on the music player screen you should see a little computer icon looking icon at the top left. Tap that and will automatically connect to the xbox. At this point the xbox will change screens and the music will start playing.
3. Once the initial connection is made you shouldnt need to do it in the future. So if you turn off the xbox and then back on your phone should automatically find it. Once again you must press the icon on the top left of the gn2 music player app.
4. As far as video goes, this is thoroughly depending on quality of connection and router network speeds. My phone stored torrents play just fine with zero lag. However ONLY video formats supported by xbox will play.

Re: Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
Im sure you could google the formats ps3 supports and find out faster than making a post. Yes all files can be converted. You find a program for your computer that converts from/to and download it. Typically open source software is good enough. To those that dont know open source means free and usually can be reprogrammed to do something different if you choose and have the experience in doing such.

Re: Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
I know xbox supports avi xvix divx files for video cuz thats the torrents I usually download. I have a ps3 but its ONLY used as a bluray player. I do not have a single game for it.
Are you still having problems with dlna? I can tell you that the stock video player and the stock music player work. If the stock video player does not play the video then neither will the xbox most likely. Also just cuz the phone supports dlna that doesnt mean that all apps are supporting it. Try the stock apps not the ones labeled as google or samsung players but just plain stock. Get back to me and let me know how it went.

Re: Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
Same here on the PS3. I rent games once in a while but its for movies. I too have not been able to get Xbox to work as DLNA either for some reason. My RAZR worked for minutes than disconnected. No idea why but DLNA has been an issue ever since I dumped my Thunderbolt.

Re: Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
Just thought of something else. It could be thst your ports arent forwarded correctly in the routers settings.
If you know how to manage your routers settings check to see if upnp is enabled. This is univeral plug and play. It will auto forward ports to correct setting when requested by specific devices from inside your network

Re: Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
No not really on the router bit.
Quick question. Do you or have you ever played halo on xbox live multiplayer. If so have you ever seen on the tv screen that you have a moderate or strict NAT setting? This problem is also fixed by enabling upnp. Do you have a router that you either plug in a network cable or connect to wirelessly from your xbox?

Re: Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
Halo 4 says it's not in real time although I feel like it is. UPnP isn't the permanent solution to solving an NAT issue either. I'm fairly savvy when it comes to networking and certain routers either mess up from the beginning or work fine and than fail to work properly later. My Linksys e3000 would randomly change from OPEN NAT to MODERATE NAT daily and at times multiple times each day. UPnP was enabled, IP settings on the XBOX and Router manually set and linked, Port Forwarding, Port Triggering, etc. You name it I did it. Solution? Dump the router and buy a Asus router with the new A/C Technology. $200 and not many devices use it yet but sure makes me future proof. My XBOX 360 is wired in case you're wondering. Linksys is great for commercial use but for in home use stay away. Seriously, D-Link and Asus are running this game right now. If Linksys has worked for you that's fine but for my friends and I it's been a disaster.
Note: My Asus works with OPEN right out of the box. My friends have had Asus for about a year now with no NAT concerns. Hope you get it all settled. - 02-05-2013, 05:34 PM #19
Re: Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
I've done this and while it works I still run into an issue. In the past, I've been able to stream music from my phone directly to my XBOX 360. I could listen to this music as background music while playing a game. Ever since I upgraded from my Thunderbolt no phone has been able to do this. Not sure why and I've lived without it. I am able to use DLNA as a direct stream but than it basically turns my XBOX into a full screen media player and not the background data I'm looking for.
Re: Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
Upnp is enabled in your router webpage where its settings are stored.
Eclipse you are correct, not all routers are the same any many are DOA or die just outside of warranty I have had many. Bittorrent eats cheap routers for breakfast it seems.

Re: Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
I can confirm you cant use dlna while in game. Dlna requires the use of the full system music player for some reason. However you can stream music from your pc in game. Just tried thst last part.

Re: Instructions on using DLNA? It doesn't work.
Yeah, and that's odd. I've always used top of the line models since I figure a router is a necessity and used daily. Just odd how routers show signs of failure at times. Although, I don't believe the NAT issues were a failure but rather a result of faulty firmware by Linksys. Those who installed the DD-WRT firmware noted the issues disappeared.

A Northern Ireland solicitor was jailed for 10 years yesterday after pleading guilty to inciting loyalist terrorists to murder. Manmohan "Johnny'' Sandhu, 44, based in County Derry, also pleaded guilty to four charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice at Belfast crown court. They arose from the attempted murder of a taxi driver Jonathan Hillier in August 2005 and the murders of Jameson Lockhart and Andrew Cully. Mr Justice Deeny said: "The picture is not that of an officer of the court discharging his duty to his client but of an enthusiastic gang member."
