In order of importance:
Double Trouble
Sweet Bee
if there were a sub exclusive figure, I would love to see it be a Classic Toy Costume Style Catra!
About a year ago before we knew Mattel had acquired Filmation rights I created a hypothetical thread asking fans that if a Filmation subscription ever came to light in 2013, which 6 (if I recall correctly) figures would you like or wish to see be made into a plastic reality? Fast-forwarding almost a year later and due to fan demand, we're on the cusp of receiving our first Club Filmation mini-sub figure!
I recently created a poll to see where the fans stand in terms of a potential 6 figure Mini-Sub in 2014. To cut a long story short, after almost 100 votes, POP is easily leading the way followed by ~ interestingly enough ~ Filmation (non-variant).
Now the fun part ~ if Mattel gave the green light for a 6 figure POP mini-sub in 2014, which characters would make the cut in your Top 6?
Only figures should be listed in your Top 6 as i'm sure beasts and the such wouldn't be considered in a mini-sub. And of course, Filmation characters are more than welcome!
List your Top 6!
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
In order of importance:
Double Trouble
Sweet Bee
if there were a sub exclusive figure, I would love to see it be a Classic Toy Costume Style Catra!
Assuming that the likes of Glimmer, Angella, and Mermista would likely come out in the regular sub, I won't include them in my list and I'll just stick to vintage Great Rebellion gals:
1) Flutterina
2) Peekablue
3) Sweet Bee
4) Perfuma
5) Double Trouble
6) Spinnerella
I guess that would take care of all of them
I would go with a subscription devoted to the Princess of Power toy line (the variant designs), because most of the characters in their Filmation looks will likely appear in the main subscription. Plus, there's already a Filmation sub that's supposed to be including some Filmation POP characters. Have to think about which characters to fill those slots, though.
POP toy line deserves some love.
"My favorite Harry Potter movie is Troll."
Top 6, Filmation allowed.
Peekablue (or Sweet Bee)
Major Blast
Double Trouble
Here's my thinking. Glimmer, Angella, & Mermista have decent chances in being in the main sub, imo. Peekablue & Sweet Bee have interchangeable chances at being in the main sub, also imo. Spinerella & Perfuma aren't favorites of mine, so they didn't make the cut
I included Josh from the mini-comics to add another male to the line up. He has some champions in the community and it would be nice for them to get a figure like that. The mini sub is the perfect place to put a not universally wanted figure, give him some Red Knight armor or something.
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
If we are talking about the Great Rebellion, here are mine:
Madame Razz
Double Trouble
Assuming that if a POP mini-sub ever were to be offered they would need their strongest lineup to go through I would go with:
Madame Razz & Broom
Little Folk Pack (Kowl, Loo-Kee, Sprag, Spritina, Sprocker)
Queen Angella
Madame Razz
I know half of those are minis but, can't think of any more I care if they get made or not.
Sweet Bee
Toy Catra
1. Madame Razz w/ Broom
2. Double Trouble
3. Glimmer
4. Angella
5. Kowl, Lookee, Imp 3-pack
6. Entraptra
Quote the Raven, Nevermore.

1: Glimmer
2: Angella
3; Mermista
4: Entrapta
5: Spinerella
6: Madam Razz and Broom
We were specifically told that Dare would not be in 2014-2015, see the words straight from Scott here: http://forums.mattycollector.com/eve...808#9101046808
1. Mermista
2. Double Trouble
3. Sweet Bee
4. Peekablue
5. Glimmer
6. Entrapta
My rationale is that the majority of the POP characters from the toy line have been trademarked (save for Double Trouble, Angella, Perfuma and Peekablue), so that shows an intention from Mattel to use those characters in the main subscription. I know some of the characters trademarked awhile ago haven't been made into figures as of yet, or only appear as a reference in a bio, but it seems like 90% of them do eventually get a figure in MOTUC. Angella and Peekablue also have a good chance of appearing, imo. Plus, Scott said 2014 would have more POP figures than any previous year, if it goes through.
"My favorite Harry Potter movie is Troll."
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
Good question. hmm. Well I wouldn't want to pull all POP from the main line as i think that would diminish sales overall... but if we are fantasy booking here and just saying which 6 POP figures we would want primarily I would say these:
1. Glimmer
2. Mermista
3. Double Trouble (The only POp figure I ever had as a kid apart from BOW)
4. Angella
5. Sweet Bee
6. Perfuma
The Lurkiest
**Somebody please make me a Staghorn**
1. Mermista
2. Vultak
3. Peekablue
4. Entrapta
5. Flutterina
6. Madame Razz & Broom
"Oh Lord, Bless this M&M... and the mighty cockroach I slain in battle to get it." - Al Bundy
I hope to see Glimmer, Angella and Mermista in the main sub so for a 6 figure POP sub I'd say
Sweet Bee
Double Trouble
Assuming Glimmer and Angella will hit in the main line.
1. Razz / Broom
2. Lookee / Kowl
3. Mermista
4. Peekablue
5. Spinerella
6. Flutterina
I don't think it would ever happen, but I would SO buy it if it did. If it's just toyline characters, I'd go for:
Sweet Bee
If we're throwing some Filmation She-Ra characters into the mix, I'd go for:
Madame Razz
One of the reasons I can't see this happening is an entire sub of female figures (there are no figures left, unless you count Kowl and Loo-Kee and the male cartoon characters are limited to villains like Vultak and Dylamug).
Most-wanted MOTUC: Granita - Hunga the Harpy - The Melog - Melaktha - Vultak - Dylamug - Crita - Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina - the Twiggets King Ahgo
I leave Kowl out only because he should be in the main sub...
1) Queen Angella
2) Madame Razz & Broom
3) Mermista
4) Sweet Bee
5) Look-ee
6) Entrapta
1) Glimmer w/ Kowl
2) Angella
3) Sweet Bee
4) Madame Razz & Broom
5) Peekablue
6) Perfuma
Kowl, the know it owl!

I will not include Sea Hawk since he will probably be included in the 2013 Filmation sub.
So herewe go:
1) Glimmer
2) Angella
3) Madame Razz (and Broom as an accesory)
4) Lookee and Kowl (these could be released as a two pack since they are small figures)
5) Granita

Organizations require tools that can assess their online reputations as well as the impact of their marketing and public outreach activities. The Media Watch on Climate Change is a Web intelligence and online collaboration platform that addresses this requirement. It aggregates large archives of digital content from multiple stakeholder groups and enables the co-creation and visualization of evolving knowledge archives. Here, the authors introduce the base platform and a context-aware document editor as an add-on that supports concurrent authoring by multiple users. While documents are being edited, semantic methods analyze them on the fly to recommend related content. The system computes positive or negative sentiment automatically to provide a better understanding of third-party perceptions. The editor is part of an interactive dashboard that uses trend charts and map projections to show how often and where relevant information is published, and to provide a real-time account of concepts that stakeholders associate with a topic.

Dividend payers deserve a berth in any long-term stock portfolio. But seemingly attractive dividend yields are not always as fetching as they may appear. Let's see which companies in the electric utility industry offer the most promising dividends.
Yields and growth rates and payout ratios, oh my!
Before we get to those companies, though, you should understand just why you'd want to own dividend payers. These stocks can contribute a huge chunk of growth to your portfolio in good times, and bolster it during market downturns.
As my colleague Matt Koppenheffer has noted: "Between 2000 and 2009, the average dividend-adjusted return on stocks with market caps above $5 billion and a trailing yield of 2.5% or better was a whopping 114%. Compare that to a 19% drop for the S&P 500."
When hunting for promising dividend payers, unsophisticated investors will often just look for the highest yields they can find. While these stocks will indeed pay out the most, the yield figures apply only for the current year. Extremely steep dividend yields can be precarious, and even solid ones are vulnerable to dividend cuts.
When evaluating a company's attractiveness in terms of its dividend, it's important to examine at least three factors:
- The current yield
- The dividend growth
- The payout ratio
If a company has a middling dividend yield, but a history of increasing its payment substantially from year to year, it deserves extra consideration. A $3 dividend can become $7.80 in 10 years, if it grows at 10% annually. (It will top $20 after 20 years.) Thus, a 3% yield today may be more attractive than a 4% one, if the 3% company is rapidly increasing that dividend.
Next, consider the company's payout ratio, which reflects what percentage of income the company is spending on its dividend. In general, the lower the number, the better. A low payout ratio means there's plenty of room for generous dividend increases. It also means that much of the company's income remains in its hands, giving it a lot of flexibility. That money can fund the business's expansion, pay off debt, buy back shares, or even buy other companies. A steep payout ratio reflects little flexibility for the company, less room for dividend growth, and a stronger chance that if the company falls on hard times, it will have to reduce its dividend.
Peering into electric utilities
Below, I've compiled some of the major dividend-paying players in the electric utility industry (and a few smaller outfits), ranked according to their dividend yields:
Company |
Recent Yield |
5-Year Avg. Annual Div. Growth Rate |
Payout Ratio |
Add to Watchlist |
Veolia Environnement (NYSE: VE ) | 9.7% | 9.5% | 76% | Add |
National Grid (NYSE: NGG ) | 7.8% | 23.9% | 73% | Add |
Otter Tail (Nasdaq: OTTR ) | 6% | 0.8% | 137% | Add |
Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK ) | 5.5% | 4%* | 64% | Add |
Entergy | 5.4% | 8.8% | 47% | Add |
Progress Energy | 5.3% | 0.6% | 109% | Add |
FirstEnergy | 5.3% | 4.6% | 124% | Add |
PPL | 5.1% | 6.4% | 57% | Add |
Exelon (NYSE: EXC ) | 5% | 6.1% | 53% | Add |
American Electric Power | 5% | 3.3% | 60% | Add |
Southern | 4.7% | 3.8% | 79% | Add |
CenterPoint Energy (NYSE: CNP ) | 4.2% | 8.4% | 65% | Add |
NextEra Energy | 4.1% | 6.9% | 48% | Add |
Dominion Resources | 4.1% | 6.8% | 65% | Add |
Data: Motley Fool CAPS. Over past four years after spinoff of Spectra Energy.
All of these stocks have attractive dividend yields, although some are higher than others. Foreign companies like Veolia and National Grid pay higher dividends, but they're also less predictable than the constant quarterly payments that most U.S. stocks make.
Instead, let's focus on the dividend growth rate first, where National Grid stands out. Its growth rate is so steep, though, that it may be hard to maintain for long. But its payout ratio is reasonable, making that not an immediate concern.
You may notice, too, that some notable players in the industry, such as Empire District Electric (NYSE: EDE ) , aren't on the list. Empire District had to suspend its dividend after tornadoes in Missouri did extensive damage.
Just right
As I see it, among the companies above, National Grid and Veolia Environment offer the best combination of dividend traits, sporting some hefty income now and a good chance of strong dividend growth in the future.
Of course, as with all stocks, you'll want to look into more than just a company's dividend situation before making a purchase decision. Still, these stocks' compelling dividends make them great places to start your search, particularly if you're excited by the prospects for this industry.
Do your portfolio a favor. Don't ignore the growth you can gain from powerful dividend payers.

Methought I Saw my Late Espoused Saint (Sonnet 23) Versions of Reality Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
Methought I saw my late espoused saint. (1)
The speaker doesn't say that he actually saw his deceased wife. He says he thought he saw her, which opens up quite the can of worms. Was his vision an imaginative one, created by his own mind? Or did someone actually appear to the speaker? If so, was it his deceased wife, or something else entirely? He's hedging his bets here, and with good reason. When's the last time you thought someone who saw a ghost was sane?
Quote #2
Brought to me like Alcestis from the grave
Mine, as whom wash't from spot of childbed taint,
And such, as yet once more I hope to have
Full sight of her in Heaven without restraint. (2, 5, 7-8)
By using a series of similes to describe the speaker's vision, rather than describing it directly, the poem suggests that what the speaker saw was like his deceased wife, but it wasn't exactly her. Since this vision was only "such, as," the speaker anticipates his wife will be in heaven, but he really can't say for sure.
Quote #3
But O! as to embrace me she inclin'd,
I wak'd, she fled, and day brought back my night. (13-14)
With these lines, the speaker wakes up to find himself in a completely different reality than the one in his dream. In his dream, he was able to see the spiritual qualities of his wife's person, as if she were really there. In this world, the speaker is blind and his wife is oh so gone. "Day brought back my night" both emphasizes the speaker's blindness and comments upon how that blindness, and his state of mourning, make his reality different from everybody else's. For him, day is night. And not in a good way.

It is a big joke, exactly. It makes fun of all those superheroes series, by having a bunch of preschoolers as the protagonists. Also, have you noticed that most characters are made up of round shapes, while the professor is made of rectangular ones? I don't know why, but they probably did it on purpose.

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.43 / 5.00 3,011 ViewsThe other day, Brick_Sledge told a funny tale of his antics with fire, a jar, and some gasoline, on our web forums. Daveman said that his tale should be immortalised in Flash... So here it is.
Kids, don't try this in the woods.
THE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC that I used for the title is called "O Fortuna", from
"Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff. It is also known as "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi", or at least, that's what my MP3 of it was named.
did they die? At the end they just seemed to be running around. (Just being sarcastic?)
Nope, they soon stopped, dropped and rolled and put the fire out. And lived to tell the tale, obviously.
omg yes
haha funny as hell....but scary at the same time cuz that sorta happened to me and my friend except we had a fire we started with a molativ cocktail and then it turned into a bondfire then we threw a giant bottle lighter in the mix and......BOOM! both of my arms were singed of all hair completely, my friends hair on his head was half gone....it was bad. i think we killed a few birds in the trees above too...maybe u should make a flash of that..it wuz a scary day
Well, email me the story. See the contest of stupidity on my site! (Click the link.)
That was too much!! I hope whoever was involved in the fire is okay. Even though they should be sterilized, ya know for the public's safety.
The fact that they survived probably qualifies them to reproduce. Y'know, to help breed fire-retardant humans. (Or fire-human retards...?)
u serious this was a true story?
cause if it was....that was the funniest shyt ever.
The extent of the fireball was exaggerated, but yes, it was all true except the alcohol and the squirrel.

Press/361 22 October 2003 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
France donates 100,000 euros to WTO technical assistance
On 21 October 2003, the French Government made a contribution of 100,000 euros (150,000 Swiss francs) to the WTO technical assistance fund. This donation, by the French Ministry of Agriculture, is earmarked to finance activities in 2003 and 2004 related to the implementation of the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement).
SEE ALSO: > press releases > WTO news archives > Supachai Panitchpakdi's
> More on technical assistance
At this particular time in the life of the WTO, this fresh contribution is a sign of France's renewed confidence in the multilateral trading system and its supervisory organization, stated Philippe Gros, the Permanent Delegate of France to the WTO. It reflects France's desire to help those of its development partners interested in acquiring in-depth knowledge and understanding of the multilateral trade agreements, in particular the SPS Agreement, given the significance of its provisions in trade terms. I should like to thank France for its contribution, said WTO Director-General Supachai Panitchpakdi. The technical assistance provided by the WTO is crucial to its developing country Members and should help them not only to participate fully in the negotiations currently under way, but also to continue to implement the existing agreements. The SPS Agreement requires WTO Members to base their sanitary and phytosanitary measures on scientifically justified requirements. Trade in agricultural products is of particular importance to most developing countries and an appropriate understanding of the SPS Agreement is essential.

Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) this week at a press conference in Washington, D.C., announced his desire to pass the Public Safety Spectrum and Wireless Innovation Act before the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on New York City and the Pentagon.
Rockefeller was joined at the press conference by co-sponsors of the legislation, including Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), to drum up support for the bill, which would reserve a portion of spectrum for an interoperable communications system for first responder and give the Federal Communications Commission authority to conduct voluntary incentive auctions to clear TV spectrum for future broadband Internet use.
In a statement posted on the association's website, NAB president and CEO Gordon Smith commended the efforts of Rockefeller and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) "to address broadcaster concerns with voluntary incentive auctions."
In its National Broadband Plan, the FCC proposed conducting voluntary incentive auctions from which broadcasters choosing to participate would share in a portion of proceeds generated by auctioning their spectrum to telecom companies to meet future wireless broadband Internet demand. However, the agency currently does not have Congressional authority to hold incentive auctions.
According to a report in the National Journal, Rockefeller plans to mark up the bill next week. However, despite reportedly being confident in garnering strong support for the bill, Rockefeller has expressed concern that it might hit a snag in the Senate from a single senator who objects.
Regardless of whether the bill passes in the Senate, the legislation faces an uncertain future in the House of Representative, according to reports. Some powerful Republican members of the House have favored auctioning off the spectrum the Senate bill would set aside for first responders.
In its announcement regarding the legislation, the NAB said it would work to ensure "the interests of viewers are protected" as it advances towards passage.

yes i saw that this forum had a nice feature for people looking to sell their snowboard gear.. But i guess you think this is the tech boom for snowboards and my snowboard is made of pvc.... LOL.... this board is still better than a lot of boards that sell new for 250 and without bindings. Im not trying to rip anyone off, this board has a lot of life left in it and can handle more than a lot of boards that sell new at this price.

would you buy a used car from 2004 if you could get a brand new one that gets better gas mileage for the same price?
its a good analogy. board tech progresses each year. boards get lighter, poppier, ect. just as cars improve in performance. since you cant seem to wrap your head around what other people are telling you, maybe that will. your board is worth about 10,000 pennies. |

This board can still do what it did then, now, and Luckily boards dont run on gas. If the reason to buy new is to strictly save on gas, then that would be nullified in this situation and cant apply, since snowboard obviously dont take gas. Instead it just needs to produce pop and hold up under intense impact while being light enough to maneuver which this board does really well. 235 for snowboard is cheap even if you went to big 5. Boards get a little better each year but not enough to make this board obsolete. Its more rider than anything. Say someone like Bjorn was riding this board. Would you get better gas milage (metaphorically) on your 2010 Burtons Best. No You Wouldnt? You Would Get Pwned!!

even if you had a board from last year and rode on it no more then 30 days in the season you still shouldnt be selling it for much more then like 200 bucks depending on what it is. this thing is from 05-06 with most likely about 3 years worth of how ever much you ride and your trying to get 200+ for it. im also sure ill get way more out of my '10 evo-r then i would your 06 bjorn.

All honesty
the price changes were partly do to me trying to be fair and still have it be worth it to me.I am listening to what you guys are saying. This Board was built very solid. I have only been to the mountains 3 times with it, just look at the pictures. Yes A Brand New Board Is Nice, but a Very Well built board in very good condition with bindings for 235 not bad either. YES DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS. VERY WELL SAID.

Who are we kidding here we're arguing with a guy from fucking Lincoln Nebraska the fucking mecca of snowboarding. I mean shit everyone is moving there. Hell I heard Videograss part two Grass Attack is going to be nothing but fucking urban in Lincoln Nebraska, infact the Transworld office has moved there and set up shop! All hail the fucking low plains drifter.
Dude that board is dated, yes there has been a HUGE tech boom. Does that board have reverse camber, 0 camber, double triple positive dipsy doodle fossilized magnetized pixie shit camber? Fuck no it's a fucking cambered board that's been ridden. You want to argue tech with me go for it I'm going to be riding next seasons stuff in 2 months, I was riding the new products for this year last year. Do I need to go to specific websites and show you that you can get a 500 dollar board from last season marked down to 80%? Hello Earth to fucking wanker be realistic the shit has been ridden. I sell my prototypes and next years boards that I've ridden maybe 10 times for nothing more than a 150 dollars. Why? Cause even though it's a next years board it's been fucking ridden! OH my god the board isn't made anymore, woo hoo. It's not like it's a fucking limited edition collectors item. I could go in my bedroom pull my 156 limited edition Kamp K2 Turbo Dream down there's probably only like 250 of them in existence and still I wouldn't get what you're asking. How about my K2 Travis Parker Scorpaznautica? Yeah don't see those anymore and it's Travis Parkers pro model, yep still not going to get what you're asking. Hell I the very first Never Summer premier F1 serial number 1 and I couldn't get what you're asking for this thing. News flash buddy that deck isn't worth more than maybe 100 bucks and that's being generous.

- In a large frying pan, dry-fry the bacon over a medium heat for 3 mins until the fat is released and the bacon is golden. Transfer the bacon to a small bowl, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the chicken and brown for 4 mins each side.
- Push the chicken to one side of the pan and tip in the garlic and spring onions, cooking for about 30 secs, just until the spring onion stalks are bright green. Pour in the chicken stock, return the bacon to the pan, cover and simmer for 15 mins.
- Increase heat under the pan. Tip the peas and lettuce into the sauce and cook for 4 mins, covered, until the peas are tender and the lettuce has just wilted. Check chicken is cooked through. Stir in the crème fraîche just before serving.

Comments, questions and tips
This didn't look like much whilst cooking but appearances can be deceiving because it tasted gorgeous!! I completely forgot previous comments about thickening the sauce but even though the end result was a bit runny it was plate-licking good! I did think the amount of peas was a bit high but as I love peas (& add them to nearly everything) I really didn't mind! I will make this dish again and again. Nom nom nom!!
Have made this twice now. Easy and tasty. Coated the chicken in flour before browning to add substance to the sauce. Substituted some of the stock with white wine. Used savoy cabbage instead of lettuce, to use it up. Left out the spring onions the second time - didn't make any difference to be honest. Added mushrooms the first time. Stirred in a bit of natural yogurt instead of creme fraiche, as that's what I usually have in my fridge. Served with mashed or boiled potatoes. Good "storecupboard" dinner and easily adaptable to what you've got knocking around in the fridge - Would make again
This was a good looking quick and easy one to prepare.
I used double cream because thats what I had in my fridge at the time. My husband loved it and I would make it again but as im not a lover of the smoked bacon, the next time I make it I will be trying it with normal bacon instead to suit my own taste. I served it with boiled rice. Very nice indeedy!
Deffinately worth a try.
Extreamly easy to make & very tasty! Other comments said the sauce was very thin. To solve this I chopped up chicken breasts into small pieces and covered them in seasoned flour (thyme, salt, pepper, basil). Then fried it off as normal. It needed about 600ml of stock but the sauce was lovely & thick & full of flavor!
Just made this for our midweek evening meal. It was delish! Made it as recipe said but thought next time I may replace peas with sheeled fresh broad beans - or half peas half broad beans perhaps!! Some people have said the sauce was thin but I didn't find that. It was creamy and delicious. The chicken was moist and I will definitely make this again. Thanks GF!

Instead of the traditional shot of hot espresso being poured over vanilla ice cream, I created this recipe using Asian flavors with matcha, red bean paste and mochi. I cool down the matcha a bit so it's warm—not hot—before pouring on top of the gelato to prevent ice chips from forming.
Makes 2 cups
2 scoops vanilla gelato or ice cream
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons red bean paste (like this one)
2 tablespoons mochi
1 teaspoon matcha (like this one)
1. Boil water and remove from heat. Whisk or stir in matcha. Let cool.
2. Scoop gelato into two cups. Top each with 1 tablespoon of red bean paste and mochi.
3. Serve matcha on the side and pour some into each cup. Enjoy!

Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them."
Peace Corps Volunteers Remain Safe in Kenya
The U.S. Peace Corps has evacuated 35 of its volunteers from western Kenya because of the violence that has rocked the country since the disputed December 27 presidential election. The Peace Corps has 144 volunteers based in Kenya, although the organization says 22 of them are currently out of the country. An agency statement says the remaining volunteers have been consolidated in a variety of locations. Latest News: Peace Corps says volunteers in Kenya remain safe.

Can they kill somebody? Yes. But can they change us? No. Only we can change ourselves. So what is the great threat we are facing? I would approach this differently, in almost Marshall-like terms.

Christian Leaders Ask House to Say 'No' to $40 Billion in New SNAP Cuts
18 September 2013
CONTACT: Brian P. Duss, (202) 745-4615; email@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C. —Christian leaders today urged members of the House of Representatives to oppose measures that would cut SNAP (the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly food stamps) by nearly $40 billion over the next 10 years, which would hurt the most vulnerable, including seniors, children, and the working poor.
The proposal is expected to be brought to the full House for a vote this week. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill, if passed, would cut assistance to nearly 4 million low-income people in 2014 and an average of 3 million people each year for the next decade. These cuts would be in addition to substantial across-the-board cuts coming on November 1 due to the expiration of the 2009 Recovery Act. Low-income working families, low-income seniors, and unemployed Americans living in areas hit hardest by the economic downturn are among the vulnerable populations that would lose assistance under the proposed legislation.
In letters to their members of Congress, the Christian leaders expressed deep moral outrage over these proposed cuts and their effects on the nation's most vulnerable people. Copies of their letters are available online at www.circleofprotection.us.
The leaders are from the Circle of Protection, a coalition of more than 65 heads of denominations and religious organizations, plus more than 5,000 church pastors. They have been working for more than two years to resist federal budget cuts that undermine the lives, dignity, and rights of poor and vulnerable people.
Although SNAP benefits are modest (an average of less than $1.50 per person per meal), SNAP is the nation's foremost tool against hunger and hardship, particularly during recessions and periods of high unemployment. Currently, 47 million Americans benefit from SNAP, but that number is expected to be greatly reduced once the economy recovers. SNAP is designed to expand in periods of great need and contract when the economy is better.
Many of the organizations that belong to the Circle of Protection have also mobilized their members to urge their representatives to oppose measures that would cut SNAP. If the proposed bill passes the House, it will go to conference with the Senate version before going to the President's desk.
Quotes from key Christian leaders appear below. The letters are available at www.circleofprotection.us
Press release quotes from some of the letters:
"These immoral cuts are incongruent with the shared values of our nation. They demonstrate the triumph of political ideology and self-interest over sound public policy and concern for the general welfare. Actions like these foster cynicism and distrust of government in the everyday Americans who struggle to meet their families' basic needs and create a better life for their children."
Jim Wallis, President, Sojourners
"These proposed cuts are a clear indication that some in Congress underestimate the hunger that is present in millions of American homes. The amendment picks on the poorest people in the country. This is morally and economically unacceptable, especially as some areas continue to experience high unemployment. Congress needs to focus on creating more jobs and not cut programs that stave off hunger for millions of people."
Rev. David Beckmann, President, Bread for the World and laureate, World Food Prize
"During the Great Recession, the number of Americans needing food aid has understandably increased. Millions of families survived very hard times thanks in part to this assistance. Children were protected from irreversible developmental damage. Hunger-related health care costs were averted. We support efforts to reduce our annual deficits and enact structural reforms to bring our revenues and expenses back into balance. But we believe this can be done without further burdening our most vulnerable citizens, and without cutting appropriations for vital food assistance programs."
Leith Anderson, President, National Association of Evangelicals
"Adequate and nutritious food is a fundamental human right and a basic need that is integral to protecting the life and dignity of the human person. How the House chooses to address our nation's hunger and nutrition programs will have profound human and moral consequences. This is a crucial time for our nation to place a circle of protection around programs that build a more just framework and put poor and hungry people first."
The Most Reverend Stephen E. Blaire, Bishop of Stockton,United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
"Far too many Americans rely on SNAP today, but high participation is not from a surge of laziness. Over 30 percent of SNAP households are working households. The real problem is the economy and the fact that too many jobs don't pay enough for parents to be able to put food on the table and provide for their children. 11.5 million people remain unemployed, and 4.2 million people have been looking for work over 26 weeks."
Rev. Lisa R. Harris, Coordinator, American Baptist Home Mission Societies
"The Bible calls us to care for our neighbor and remember 'the least of these.' The cuts included in the bill violate this principle. SNAP is one of the country's most important anti-hunger programs, and this bill could leave up to six million people without vital food assistance."
Rev. Carlos Malave, Executive Director, Christian Churches Together in the USA
"Cutting SNAP and taking away vital nutrition assistance from children, seniors, low-wage workers, and persons with disabilities will not address the larger economic trends or create more jobs with adequate wages. Instead, this type of bill will punish those struggling to get by."
Rev. Dr. A. Roy Medley, General Secretary, American Baptist Churches USA
"I far too regularly have to turn away people in need of help. We can offer a few non-perishable goods, but far from enough to sustain the many people around us, and not the perishable goods they need to have a healthy diet. If we as a nation seek to be founded in our Judeo-Christian influences, we cannot be faithful in doing so without, through laws and government, caring for the poor in our land. When a country's rules do not give the poor in their land what God intends, suffering is not far behind."
Rev. Brian Adams, Minister for Economic Justice, Disciples Center for Public Witness
"It is not just a bad idea, it is morally indefensible. Our faith calls us to respect the dignity of each and every person and to give particular care to those most in need. The proposed cuts to SNAP violate these principles. SNAP was the primary prevention against hunger for children and families during the recession. Such devastating cuts are simply inexcusable. We must make good on the promise that in this country, if you are willing to work, you won't have to see your children go to bed hungry."
Dr. Ann Scholz, Associate Director for Social Mission, Leadership Conference of Women Religious
"We are called, as Christians, to protect the most vulnerable. It is with this commitment in mind that we urge you to protect millions who so desperately depend on SNAP. In the US, 11.5 million people remain unemployed, and many who are employed receive low paying wages not sufficient enough to feed their children."
Peter Vander Meulen, Coordinator, Christian Reformed Church Office of Social Justice

Simple turbulence measurements with azopolymer thin films |
Optics Letters, Vol. 38, Issue 7, pp. 1128-1130 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (394 KB)
A simple method to measure the influence on the laser beam propagation by a turbid medium is proposed. This measurement is based on the inscription of a surface relief grating (SRG) on an azopolymer thin film. The grating obtained with a single laser beam after propagation into a turbulent medium is perturbed and directly analyzed by a CCD camera through its diffraction pattern. Later, by scanning the surface pattern with an atomic force microscope, the inscribed SRG is analyzed with the Radon transform. This method has the advantage of using a single beam to remotely inscribe a grating detecting perturbations during the beam path. A method to evaluate the refractive index constant structure is developed.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGlxwcbUv8E]YouTube - Tasheed Carr's Tattoo Says It All[/ame] He's averaging 13.4 ppg. for NC State. Dodie Dunson is averaging about 12 per game. Shawn Taggart is averaging 10 and seven a game. Farnold Degand has been picking up some minutes (and fouls). I'm not trying to stir the pot, or cry over spilled milk, or upset any sensitives. Just seemed interesting to look at. And I think I'm forgetting someone.

Whoops. Got 'em mixed up.
Sure you are. You're trying to stir the pot and crying over transferred milk. You did the research, posted the message and are sitting back to see how many people go crazy as a result of your post. Its cool. Thats what message boards are for.
Carr would have been out of elgibility by now. Dunson plays in the Mo. Valley and everybody knows they have no players that could play in the Big 12. Taggart is too lazy to play for ISU, let him play for that Conference USA team. Degand wouldn't be able to pick up our complicated offense. {oops I forgot the sarcasm pirate}
Don't care and don't know why the OP cares.
It frustrates me to think what this team would look like with Carr and Dunson in the back court. I think we would be having a completly different outlook right now.
Wasn't Degand supposed to be the next Blalock?
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.

Improvement of special needs students on the mathematics Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS): Perceptions of secondary mathematics teachers and administrators
Since the passage of the 1993 Education Reform Act, the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) has been part of the education landscape in Massachusetts. The MCAS is a battery of tests that are administered to students each year to determine their graduation eligibility. At the secondary level, the high-stakes nature of the MCAS calls for students to demonstrate a mastery of English/Language Arts and mathematics in order to graduate and receive a high school diploma. ^ Statewide, students, teachers, and administrators have made significant progress in meeting the demands of the standards-based Massachusetts curriculum. One of the student populations that have had the most difficulty with high-stakes mathematics testing, and that suffer the most negative consequences of these tests, are special education students (Donley, 2000). In 1998, eighty-eight percent (88%) of the students with disabilities failed the math MCAS. In 2004, the number dropped to forty-one percent (41%). The purpose of this qualitative study was to determine from the perspective of teachers and principals what instructional practices and strategies have been used in assisting students with disabilities to obtain such gains for that population on 10th grade math MCAS. The results of this study determined components of a best practice model for mathematics teachers. ^ The study utilized a multiple-case research design in which 22 teachers and 5 administrators in 2 medium sized suburban, 1 large suburban and 1 urban Massachusetts school district were interviewed. The interviews identified perceptions of key stakeholders regarding the instructional practices and strategies as defined by the National Council Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Personal interviews were conducted with guided questions to obtain information from each teacher and administrator regarding their perception of their participation in effective mathematics instructional strategies and practices. Interviewee responses were analyzed to identify the similarities and differences between teachers and administrators perceptions. Information from the study offers insight regarding educational achievement for students with disabilities.^

Since Joel Maturi announced the end of his tenure as the athletic director at the University of Minnesota's intercollegiate athletic program, his achievements and shortcomings over the past ten years have been recognized.
Some of his most notable accomplishments include the new TCF Bank football stadium and the merging of both the men's and women's athletic programs according to MPR News.
And though Maturi brought gopher football back to campus, the lack of success on the new field is just one of the many difficulties he faced during his stretch as athletic director. The men's basketball program has also struggled to win conference games with acclaimed head coach Tubby Smith.
Maturi plans to stay with the University next year as a faculty member in helping with the transition. University president Eric Kaler announced an advisory and search committee that will help look for a new athletic director and plan to have the position filled by the beginning of May, CBS Minnesota reported.

dc.description.abstract | Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a feature of secretory cells and of many diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration, and diabetes. Adaptation to ER stress depends on the activation of a signal transduction pathway known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). Enhanced expression of Hsp72 has been shown to reduce tissue injury in response to stress stimuli and improve cell survival in experimental models of stroke, sepsis, renal failure, and myocardial ischemia. Hsp72 inhibits several features of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. However, the molecular mechanisms by which Hsp72 expression inhibits ER stress-induced apoptosis are not clearly understood. Here we show that Hsp72 enhances cell survival under ER stress conditions. The UPR signals through the sensor IRE1¿, which controls the splicing of the mRNA encoding the transcription factor XBP1. We show that Hsp72 enhances XBP1 mRNA splicing and expression of its target genes, associated with attenuated apoptosis under ER stress conditions. Inhibition of XBP1 mRNA splicing either by dominant negative IRE1¿ or by knocking down XBP1 specifically abrogated the inhibition of ER stress-induced apoptosis by Hsp72. Regulation of the UPR was associated with the formation of a stable protein complex between Hsp72 and the cytosolic domain of IRE1¿. Finally, Hsp72 enhanced the RNase activity of recombinant IRE1¿ in vitro, suggesting a direct regulation. Our data show that binding of Hsp72 to IRE1¿ enhances IRE1¿/XBP1 signaling at the ER and inhibits ER stress-induced apoptosis. These results provide a physical connection between cytosolic chaperones and the ER stress response. | en |

If you are seeking a lightweight, high-powered road car, there's no more relevant form of motorsport than WRC, where Citroen's Sebastien Loeb has just won his eighth consecutive drivers title. Hence the presentation of the Citroen DS4 Racing Concept at the Geneva International Motor Show next month (March 2012) is exciting news for small car enthusiasts.
WRC is unquestionably the most relevant sport when it comes to the relationship between perfromance road cars and real world conditions, so you can be certain the DS4R is likely to have precision handling. Citroen has dominated the World Rally Championship for a decade using three different cars - the Xsara, the C4 and now this car's baby brother, the DS3.
The DS4 Racing gets a wider track front and rear and has been lowered 35 mm with different suspension, 4-piston-caliper 380mm disc brakes, and larger diameter 19-inch wheels and 235/40 tyres.
The engine is a 1.6-litre turbo petrol unit producing 256 bhp, which calculates to a very impressive 160 bhp per liter.
Lashings of carbon fiber adorn the DS4R, including the air diffuser, front splitter and wheel arch extensions, all offset by a textured-effect matt grey paint, which catches the light to further enhance the lines of the car.
No production plans have been announced, so no price has been considered. Perhaps most remarkable of all is that despite what is expected to be extreme performance, the DS4R emits 155 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
the Renault 5 turbo was superb but this pocket rocket looks the biz!

Why the shame about rear door handles? It's like they're trying to hide them...
Otherwise that's a good looking car. I wonder if French cars will ever be sold in the US again?

BP Raises $3 Billion in Dollar Bonds With First Sale This Year
May 7 (Bloomberg) -- BP Plc sold $3 billion of dollar-denominated bonds in its first offering this year.
BP Capital Markets, a unit of Europe's second-largest oil company, issued $250 million of five-year, floating rate debt to yield 51 basis points more than the three-month London interbank offered rate, $1.25 billion of 1.375 percent, five-year notes to pay 68 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries and $1.5 billion of 2.75 percent, 10-year securities at a relative yield of 108 basis points, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The bonds may be rated A2 by Moody's Investors Service, according to a person familiar with the transaction. The floating portion was added after BP began marketing the sale today, said the person, who asked not to be identified because terms aren't set.
The company last sold debt in November, issuing $1 billion each of 0.7 percent, three-year securities at a relative yield of 35 basis points; 1.375 percent, five-year debt at 65 basis points; and 2.5 percent, 10-year bonds at 85, Bloomberg data show.
The bonds due November 2022 traded at 98.723 cents on the dollar to yield 2.65 percent on May 3, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc is Europe's biggest oil company.

OLED display revenues up 60% year on year – DisplaySearch
Worldwide OLED display revenue in Q3 2008 was $141m, down 11% quarter on quarter, but up 60% year on year, according to market research firm DisplaySearch.
Chi Mei EL, the number two supplier of active matrix OLED (AMOLED) displays, said DisplaySearch, posted record high shipments in Q3, while the leading AMOLED supplier Samsung experienced lower shipments quarter on quarter. "As a result, AMOLED shipments increased only slightly compared to Q2'08, reaching 1.7 million units," said DisplaySearch.
After a strong Q2, passive matrix OLED (PMOLED) shipments were affected by reductions in mobile phone sub-display orders, so shipments fell 22% quarter on quarter. However, most of the shipment reduction was in monochrome PMOLED, while area colour and full colour PMOLED gained popularity. This led to an increase in average selling price for OLEDs in Q3'08.
"OLED displays have very attractive performance: wide viewing angle, wide colour gamut at all gray scales, fast response time, low power consumption, are thin and light weight, and have a wide operating temperature. Lifetime has improved dramatically in recent years, and red and green lifetimes are long enough for many consumer electronic applications. Despite this, OLEDs still face strong price competition from LCDs," said DisplaySearch director Dr Jennifer Colegrove.
"The OLED display industry is changing rapidly, with new companies entering the business, existing companies expanding capacity or exiting the market, and other companies changing their application focus," added Dr. Colegrove.

Rebekah Connally went from studying art history in Fort Worth to counseling University of Houston students in just a few years.
The UH alumna joined the university in 1989. She now is an academic advising specialist in the Division of University Studies and a recipient of the 2005 George Magner Award for Undergraduate Academic Advising.
Connally's contributions to the division include researching and compiling an extensive student internship database. Despite her accomplishments, Connally is proudest of her work with students, recalling one student who described herself as illiterate.
The student, who was encouraged by Connally to continue her education, received a doctorate in psychology years later. In a letter of support, that student wrote that Connally "is part of what makes the University of Houston an exemplary institution of learning."
The award, which carries a $500 check and a plaque, is given to staff and faculty members who demonstrate excellence in student advising.
