I made this way back in 2008 and I thought of fixing up the bad audio (due to bad audio that didn't fit in with this, i'm talking about a Slipknot song...) and a few bits and bobs of the animation. And excuse the unsmooth lines and crap..
Its old, past its heydays of Super Smash Bros Brawl but oh well.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
It was good but you could of put just a little more effort like adding the game sound effect and the death sound effect im pretty sure you could just google it and it will come final verdict 3.5 stars.
Rated 2 / 5 stars
The graphics were bad, the sounds were a bit choppy, and some of the special effects were, to be quite frank, terrible. This movie has some potential, but I don't think that this totally realizes it. The concept was good, but you could have done better on it, such as having Snake actually land some hits to make it more dramatic, or to have some sort of... something. I'm not sure exactly what I'm talking about, as I'm no movie maker myself, but I know you can bring some good out of this! I'd love to see it if you did. :)
or just recreate the whole thing and scrap the original version. i belive i had more potential after placing in decent audio and keep the animation in its original since it wasn't an issue 4 years ago

Red Sox rally against Valverde but fall in 9th
DETROIT—Jon Lester matched Justin Verlander for most of the day, and the Boston Red Sox even scored a couple runs off Jose Valverde.
It wasn't enough.
Austin Jackson hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Detroit Tigers overcame Valverde's blown save to beat the Red Sox 3-2 in Thursday's opener. Jon Lester pitched seven solid innings, but Boston manager Bobby Valentine lost in his return to the major leagues.
Valentine replaced Terry Francona following the team's 7-20 September slide that cost the Red Sox a playoff spot last year.
"There was a lot I saw that I liked. Lester was terrific. He did just what he needed to do," Valentine said. "Verlander was very good. A lot of pitches on the outside corner were perfect pitches. We knew he was good and he's still good if anyone is wondering."
Verlander, last year's AL MVP and Cy Young winner, was dominant for eight innings and left with a 2-0 lead. But Valverde (1-0) blew a save for the first time in 52 chances, a streak that included 49 in a row last season.
The Boston rally in the ninth, however, merely gave Detroit a chance to win it in more dramatic fashion.
With one out in the Tigers' ninth, Jhonny Peralta and Alex Avila singled off Mark Melancon (0-1), and Ramon Santiago was hit by a pitch from Alfredo Aceves. Jackson followed with a sharp grounder past diving third baseman Nick Punto.
Detroit's Prince Fielder singled his first time up for the AL Central champions and added a sacrifice fly in the eighth after Jackson tripled.
Verlander allowed two hits, walked one and struck out seven in a sparkling return to the mound at
Lester allowed a run and six hits. He struck out four and walked three.
"I kept my team in the game. It was kind of a grind for me today," Lester said. "Verlander is Verlander. He's tough. He didn't give us a lot of opportunities today and when he did, he shut us down."
Detroit put a runner on base in every inning but didn't score until the seventh, when Peralta and Avila doubled with two outs. Fielder had a sacrifice fly the next inning.
Fielder, who signed a $214 million, nine-year deal with the Tigers in the offseason, pulled a 3-2 pitch past second base his first time up for a single. Detroit put its leadoff man on base four times in the first five innings, but Lester managed to induce double plays in the first and second.
Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera moved from first base to third to make room for Fielder. His day at the hot corner was uneventful until the sixth, when he lost his balance while catching Jacoby Ellsbury's foul pop and fell into a backward somersault.
Cabrera held onto the ball and came up smiling, but Dustin Pedroia followed with a sharp grounder to third that Cabrera misplayed for an error. Verlander struck out Ortiz with two on to end that threat.
Fielder hit into a double play of his own in the sixth.
Verlander began the game by getting Ellsbury to hit a weak flyball to left in a matchup of the top two vote-getters in last year's AL MVP race. According to STATS LLC, it was the first time the top two MVP finishers faced each other in a pitcher-batter matchup the following season since 1999 honoree Ivan Rodriguez struck out against Pedro Martinez on April 25, 2000.
Verlander allowed Ortiz's double in the second, then retired 10 in a row. He caught Cody Ross looking in the second with a vintage breaking ball that left the Boston hitter dropping his bat and walking away even before plate umpire Dale Scott finished calling him out on strikes.
"This was the best opening day I've had, and hopefully that goes toward all the hard work I've been putting in to get off to a better start," he said. "Long way to go, but it's good to get that first one under your belt and have it be a good one."
NOTES: It was Valverde's first blown save since Sept. 2, 2010, against Minnesota. ... The Tigers reported 45,027 tickets sold, an opening day record for Comerica. ... The temperature at game time was 43 degrees. ... Francona was at the game as an analyst for ESPN. ... Detroit RHP Doug Fister will face Boston RHP Josh Beckett when the teams play again Saturday.

Kitchen-tested Recipes |
Pineapple Upside-Down CakeHomemade Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is so good and so pretty.
It's special enough for company, but quick enough for just the family. This recipe calls for making the cake the traditional way: in a cast-iron skillet, which after cooking you turn over onto the cake plate.
National Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Day is April 20 in the United States. This recipe is from our article on easy cake recipes.
Over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet, thoroughly covering the surface. Remove the skillet from heat. Combine the 1/4 cup melted buter, brown sugar and pecans in a small bowl; stir well to thoroughly combine. Set aside. Arrange 8 pineapple slices in a single layer in the skillet (your 9-inch skillet should accommodate 8 slices without overlapping. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each slice. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the pineapple slices. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl; set aside. Beat the egg yolks at medium speed of an electric mixer until they are thick and lemon colored. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat. With the mixer running at low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the yolk mixture, then add the reserved pineapple juice. Mix until well combined. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula, gently fold the whites into the cake batter. Pour or spoon the batter evenly over the pineapple slices. Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool the cake in the skillet for 30 minutes; then invert it onto a serving plate. Makes 8 servings. Prep time: 30 minutes; Cooking time: 45 minutes; Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes Recipe editor Patricia Mitchell |

Reach tens of thousands of people instantly by advertising with Ekklesia. Find out more
The arrival of Ann Pettifor's latest book, 'Just Money: How society can break the despotic power of finance' is an important publishing moment, says Ekklesia co-director Simon Barrow. It unmasks the false ideologies of austerity and neoliberalism.
The future of fair trade initiatives, switching your money to local and ethical banks, and alternative approaches to business - these have all been looked at in conversations and talks at Just Festival this past month (August 2013), and there is a good deal more coming up in the 'Ethics Before Profit strand of programming.
One of the focuses of the Just Festival's programme for Saturday 3rd August is the linkage between everyday life and money.
In response to the latest banking-gone-bad crises, the Christian Socialist Movement is promoting its 'Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is' initiative.

Fashion Industry Trends – GQ Celebrates "Men of the Year"
On November 12, 2013, one of the most stylish parties of the year was held in Los Angeles. It was the GQ "Men of the Year" party. This celebration featured men like Justin Timberlake, and Will Ferrell, who have graced the cover of GQ. This year, others were recognized for their accomplishments included: Designer of the Year Tom Ford; Legend of the Year Michael Douglas; Breakthrough Designer of the Year Jonathan Saunders; and Genius of the Year Sir Elton John. Pretty much everyone wore noteworthy outfits, ranging from suits out of D&G to quasi-sportswear straight off of a Tony Pryce Sports catalog – we're talking tennis shoes and running gear here. The ones guilty of the latter we won't harp on; here are a couple of close-up's on what the more gentlemanly gents wore:
On GQ's red carpet there was a myriad of celebrities who were showing off their designer style. Actor Mathew McConaughey arrived in a shimmering grey Dolce & Gabbana suit. The sheen and color cover two trend of the season, which include metallic fabrics and the color grey. I like his choice in a slate blue dress shirt and pocket square to keep the cool color theme of the suit, but I think this particular shade of grey makes him look washed out.

Fifteen Republicans voted for the border security amendment, setting up a possible final Senate vote on the bill later in the week, reports The Hill. Supporters have hoped to get 70 votes for the legislation, which faces a more problematic road to passage in the House of Representatives.
The bill as now constituted would provide $4.5 billion in technology and equipment to achieve full border surveillance and funding to construct 700 miles of fencing.

Too little, too late.
Troop @ 6/24/2013 11:29 PM
Funny how the Obama administration was crying foul over the sequester saying that there was going to be massive cuts to the CBP and our safety was at risk. Now they are talking about adding 20k border patrol agents. So what is it? The government can't have it both ways.
Tom Ret @ 6/25/2013 4:04 PM
Didn't you know that what we need to concentrate on in this day and age is not problems with immigration or border security or terrorism or jobs but global warming and reducing our nuclear weapon stockpile? If you didn't, then you must have missed Obama's speech to the Germans and the world.
Bob@Az. @ 6/25/2013 6:07 PM
Tom Ret., I too missed that obviously tantalizing speech as I recently acquired a pair of "No Bullshit" ear protectors online. In fact, I've missed ALL of his speeches and teleprompter readings since their arrival. They even work with the DOJ & IRS hearings. I have yet to try them out on the latest distraction, the Snowden fairy tale. Blues, Stay Safe. And keep your sense of humor near!
Mike @ 6/26/2013 4:15 AM
Troop don't worry about the sequester. This immigration bill is supposed to save the country millions, according to the Senate. I do agree that it seems a little strange that just two weeks ago there was an article about the border agents not having enough fuel for their vehicles and now they are hiring 20,000 more agents. Maybe they will all get Chevy Volts since no one else is buying them
Factchecker @ 6/26/2013 4:47 AM
Troop: Get your facts straight. Its the Republicans who added the amendment to the bill for the extra 20,000 BP Agents.

Stop Animal
Exploitation NOW! Media Coverage ANIMAL RESEARCH Activists challenge UI standards
Findings of flaws presented; university reasserts compliance By Jim O Neal The Gazette IOWA CITY — Pointing to the University of Iowa's own documentation of
flaws in the treatment of research animals at UI labs, animal rights
activists Wednesday demanded that the university prove its claim that it
fully safeguards the animals' welfare. Now! The university reiterated its assertion that it complies with legal
and ethical standards. Leana Stormont, president of the Iowa Law Student Animal Legal
Defense Fund, held a press conference in front of Spence Laboratories of
Psychology to call attention to the results of an investigation
conducted by Stop Animal Exploitation Now! S t o r m o n t , the Midwest representative of Stop Animal E x p l o
i t a t i o n Now!, noted that the UI Institutional Animal Care and Use
Committee d e t e r m i n e d that surgeries conducted on pigs in 2003
and 2004 deviated from the protocol approved by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. The research technician responsible for the deviations was barred
from further contact with live animals. Also, Stormont noted, the committee last year was informed by an
office of the National Institutes of Health that it had been tardy in
conducting program reviews and facility inspections. Stormont said five monkeys ''were confined to abysmal conditions and
subjected to repeated experiments'' from 1987-2003. She further charged
that rodents at UI labs are sometimes killed by ''cervical
dislocation,'' a procedure she decried as cruel, rather than being
humanely euthanized. Stormont said the findings should spur public concern. ''One can only wonder what additional violations are not being
reported,'' she said. She said the university prohibits public inspection of laboratories
where animal research is conducted because non-researchers would be
repulsed by what they saw. ''UI assures us all is well within its laboratories but will not
allow anyone to see what is going on inside,'' she said. ''The burden of
proof is on them to substantiate their claims about animal welfare. If
we're wrong, it would be very easy to prove us wrong.'' Steve Maravetz, director of Health Science Relations at the UI, said
the university is proud of its record on the treatment of lab animals.
''We do animal research here, and we spend a great deal of time,
energy and money to oversee that research,'' he said. ''We comply
strictly with all federal guidelines on animal research. Beyond that, we
adhere to the highest ethical standards in the use of these animals.''
Stormont and Jim Jacobson, treasurer of the Defense Fund chapter,
questioned the value of conducting biomedical research on non-human
animals, calling it a poor predictor of human responses to illness and
treatment. M a r a v e t z dismissed that assertion. ''The body of evidence is o v e r w h e l m - ing,'' he said. ''The
use of animals in research has moved the ball down the field in a whole
host of areas. Obviously, we disagree on that. We think the stakes are
too high. We're talking about people's lives here.'' Contact the writer: (319) 339-3170 or

Cotyledonoid leiomyoma in pregnancy. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 17267876 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Benign smooth-muscle tumors (leiomyomata) are the most frequent tumors found in the female genital tract. They are easy to diagnose in pregnancy and usually managed conservatively. Some variant forms with unusual infiltrative growth pattern have been known, but they are rare in pregnancy. The variant forms pose diagnostic and management difficulties. CASE: An unusual type of leiomyoma (cotyledonoid), adhering to the bowels and occupying the whole left broad ligament, was excised completely at 14 weeks of gestation, and the pregnancy continued to term. CONCLUSION: Familiarity with benign uterine smooth-muscle tumors with unusual growth patterns by gynecologists and pathologists is essential in avoiding over-treatment. |

I am a President, Project & Account Manager, along with being a business owner. I was born and raised in Kansas City, MO, graduated from Florida A & M University with an MBA and dove into the world of business. I thrive on figuring things out: assessing situations, developing creative solutions and working with my team to bring our ideas to life. I believe this is my talent. It is definitely my passion.
Before my current position with Brockton Creative Group, my professional experiences consisted of pharmaceutical sales, medical device marketing, automotive supplier purchasing, and international sourcing.
My technical expertise is in Project Management and Strategic Planning. I am proficient with the complete Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office Suite (except for Access-for some reason I just can't find the time to figure that one out).
Kirby Chamblin, Art Director/Developer
Hometown: Kansas City, MO
Education: JCCC, Associates Degree in Graphic Design – May 2012
Kirby joined the Brockton Creative Group team in May of 2012. She was brought on to fulfill the Lead Designer role. Her position involves supervising design interns, art directing, branding, front end development, web designing, proofing, and myriad of other design tasks. She thoroughly enjoys her work and constantly pushes herself to try new things. In every project she does, she likes to stay ahead of the curve and keep it interesting. Evidence of this was shown in her creation of two catalogs where she had to brainstorm the concept, organize content, layout the look and feel, develop a logo, and plan out the overall packaging.
Outside of work, Kirby is an avid craftsmith where she restores and repurposes old furniture. When she isn't busy creating, Kirby loves to read, solve rubik's cubes and crosswords, and volunteer at the local animal shelters.

Hometown: Offerle, KS
Education: BGS Anthropology at KU, AAS Graphic Design JCCC
Professional Accomplishment: Found a job in my career field in 2012.
Jacob joined the Brockton team as a graphic design intern shortly after graduating from KU and JCCC in May 2012. His main design duties cover many bases from billboards, to web graphics to giant lobster cutouts; however, he wouldn't have it any other way. He also does a little video work, a skill that Jacob is happy to bring to the table. It is something he has constantly been working on improving and sharing throughout film festivals, shorts, and even a television show pilot he's been working on for the better part of a year.
Outside of the office, Jacob is usually working on other creative projects, drinking coffee somewhere, or obsessing over his growing record collection.

She eventually taught herself how to code and started developing websites on a daily basis in March of 2014. Her position involves branding, website design, web graphics, developing the front-end and backend of websites, and also updating past BCG sites.

Some of the projects he is most proud of are KC RaceDay, 25u25 Anatomy of Thinking Bigger Branding and infographics for our client Litigation Insights.
Outside of the BCG life, Andrés likes to continue being creative, hang out with family and friends and visit new places.
Andrew Olson, Front End Developer/Web Administrator
Hometown: Seattle, WA
Education: Mt. San Jacinto.
Andy joined the Brockton family in December 2013. He helps develop and build the websites we design, while maintaining all of our technical needs and our web servers. The projects he's most proud of are the KC RaceDay and Museum of Prairie Fire websites. Both are extremely tedious but a lot of fun. While originally entering the field as a designer, he found a passion in the code. Needless to say his favorite trilogy is the Matrix. Who saw that coming? Not us!
Outside of the life of BCG, Andy enjoys working on his new home, being a full-fledged MLG pro nerd and walking his adorably loud corgis.

I should have not purchased this product. It broke within the first week of use. And you are unable to drink all the water because it builds up suction. I will be returning this product and purchasing a different brand.

UPDATE : 2012-07-26 : My latest commentry of the paging subject can be found here : http://sqlblogcasts.com/blogs/sqlandthelike/archive/2012/04/26/offset-without-offset.aspx
I'm not one for automatically poo-pooing new ideas, new practices and new technology. Rather I like to take a measured view and try to evaluate based upon merits.
One of the new features in Denali is paging which is now supported by the FETCH option of the ORDER BY clause. On the face of it, it does seem like a really neat addition to the product set, but as ever we do need to find out what the real costs associated with a query are.
So, using Paul Whites (blog|twitter) rather excellent series on paging as a comparison base ive created a simple stored proc using FETCH.
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.DenaliPageFetch GO CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.DenaliPageFetch @PageSize BIGINT, @PageNumber BIGINT AS SELECT P2.post_id, P2.thread_id, P2.member_id, P2.create_dt, P2.title, P2.body FROM dbo.Post P2 ORDER BY p2.post_id ASC OFFSET @PageSize * (@PageNumber-1) ROWS FETCH NEXT @PageSize ROWS ONLY
and then i've compared the performance of Paul's FetchPageKeySeek procedure to my new DenaliPageFetch. Starting of at a low range , 1st page of 50 rows, the denali option does indeed give better performance , but by jumping to the 200th page of 50 rows we see a rather different picture emerge.
I think those figures speak for themselves, so does the execution plan give a reason for this high cost ?
Yup, that's right is has scanned through the top 10000 rows. Admittedly this is only CTP1 and maybe Microsoft will invest some more time and effort into this area , but right now im not going to.
excellent bit of research Dave - was wondering, did you fnd out the tipping point where the new functionality starts to become less efficient ?
Hi Steve, can i say , "it depends" ? :)
I wouldnt say that there are hard and fast rules for a tipping point , its going to be down to data size etc.
Maybe the most efficient method would be to use the denali functionality for 'low' pages but Paul's for 'high' pages. Will make for more maint, but if it is being executed thousands of times , it should make a difference overall.

Upbeat techno song, a couple of solo synths, great melody, and lots of energy! I started working on this one over three months ago and I just finished it today. I could not get the ending right, but I like the way it is now; I think I really got the right ending this time.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Now this is what I can listen to all day!
A great lengthy song, shift of the techno to rave/trance is just awesum! :D
The fading after the little solo at about 2:02 is very nice!
Just makes you very happy indeed.
You manage to earn one of my Lucky 5 ratings! Be Honoured, My voting power of 5.47 just gave you 4.43 rating!
Loving the piano aswell.
Nice fading at the end.
Keeeep the ear food coming!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
your at it again...
here you go again makeing me happy tsk tsk tsk...how happy can you make me? lol your doing great you da next jen of techno
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Great song... honestly the only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because I was hoping for a Techno song and this is Trance. Keep up the good work!
Have you even heard trance before? Because this is not trance.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
whoever votes less than 11 out of 10 deserves to jump in a huge pile of razors and syringes full of high grade beaver tranquilizers. 129832809358058/10
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This song cannot fail to improve my mood. Among the best songs on Newgrounds; certainly the best upbeat song.

I want to know what the government considers sex. When they say age of consent what kind of sex are they talking about?
(It's much more fun if you do your best Mary Catherine Gallagher moves when you say it.)
Today we're starting our yearly fundraising appeal -- the shiny marketing term for "beg for cash" -- for Scarleteen with some righteous month-long festivities and extras.
We aim to publish an in-depth advice column every single day from now through November 15th. Myself and Scarleteen's assistant director, CJ Turett, will be burning the midnight oil with answers, but we also have the help of some fantastically talented people to help this month, like Jaclyn Friedman, Kate Bornstein, Susie Bright, Zaedryn Meade, Cory Silverberg, Petra Boynton, Justin Bish, Amanda Marcotte, Carol Queen, s.e.smith, Nona Willis Aronowitz and more! You can get started with Jaclyn Friedman's guest advice on getting sexual assault awareness started in your college right here.
All across the 'net there's also a month-long blogathon for us starting today, and we will be reprinting most of the entries right here on our own
Read more...Beginning in September, I am going to be employed as Residence Don for an all girls floor at a university. I am pretty excited about the job and really would like to make residence life a positive experience for the students I will be living with (about 170 guys and gals in total).
However, there is one MAJOR issue I have with the residence, they offered no sexual assault awareness education for the students. In the 2008-09 school year, there were 3 sexual assaults reported, which lead to criminal charges, and almost all I have talked to who have lived in this residence for multiple years have either been sexually assaulted themselves or had a friend who was while living there.
So, clearly, something is needed to change this residence culture that seems to be conducive to sexual violence.
I'm a girl, but I've always felt like I'm in the wrong body. Every time I picture myself, I see a boy. I want to get a sex change, but I know how much it can cost. My parents are also Catholic, and are already angry about me not being religious, and every time I try to bring up the subject, they get angry and tell me that I was "made a girl", so I should only feel like one, and that everything else I feel is wrong. But my friends are very supportive, and I even have a guy friend who wants to be a girl. Who do I listen to?
On top of doing what I do here at Scarleteen (and everything else I do), I also do some outreach sexuality and sexual rights education for a youth homeless shelter here in Seattle. My partner also now works full-time at that shelter, and when he came home last night and filled me in on some things that had gone on that day, I got struck very hard in the gut with some feelings I hadn't fully realized for myself until then, both about that work and the young people there, but also about some of my experiences with some of the users at Scarleteen.
So, I wrote the residents there a letter this morning that I'd also like to share with you, because the way I feel about them is also the way I feel about plenty of you. Because most of Scarleteen happens online, very few of our users are currently homeless or transient, but some have been or will be. In addition, plenty over the years have shared similar struggles, either being in the foster care system or in unsafe homes, surviving loss, ass
Read more...This is one of a long line of common phrases in sex education and sexuality messaging people, including people I think of us allies, use that I deeply dislike, like "preventing teen pregnancy." Let me explain why, working backwards.
That's usually followed by "then you should have sex using safer sex and contraception." Or -- and usually addressing both those things -- "then you should at least be responsible."
In some respect, that's fine. Now, not everyone needs contraception, either because they don't have a partner with a radically different reproductive system than them or they're not having the kinds of sex that can create a pregnancy, so that doesn't always make sense. But for people choosing to have any kind of sex, we're 100% on board with the sentiment that all of us -- no matter our age -- should be engaging in sexual practices supportive of safeguarding everyone's best health, and in alignment with whether we do or don't want
Read more...I know it's only so much consolation to you right now, but the older I get, the more I notice how much easier having a positive body image becomes. I know that's clearly not the case for all older women: after all, plenty of women my age and older are getting sliced, diced and Botoxed to within an inch of their lives. However, it's also not just me. I often notice that women I'm friends with also seem to have a good handle and perspective on their body image, despite the diversity of our bodies. Usually a much better one then they had when they were your age.
But you know, what I wish I knew then that I do know now is that most of my body image is totally up to me. Just like it is now, so it was when I was in my teens: I have control over how positive or negative it is. And that's something you'll find many older women wish they had known back when. You don't have to wait until you're in your 30's, 40's or beyond to get to a better place with yours. You can start doing that right
Read more...Okay, so I'm a female high school junior. There's this girl (sweet, geeky, smart, funny, the works) that I may soon be starting a sexual relationship with. She's trans and just started taking hormones. Currently she's male, but eventually, her "outie" will become an "innie," so to speak. I've heard mixed things about this surgery, and I don't know if she'll be able to feel things the same way afterward. She's very sexual, and obviously I want to be able to do stuff with her, so this is a big concern. What will the aftermath of the surgery be like? What are the risks of the procedure? What can I do to help her get through this?
You probably know Scarleteen has been the premier online sexuality resource for young people worldwide since 1998. We have consistently provided free inclusive, comprehensive and positive sex education, information and support to millions for longer than anyone else online. We built the online model for teen and young adult sex education and have remained online for nearly eleven years to sustain, refine and expand it.
What you might not know is that Scarleteen is the highest ranked online young adult sexuality resource but also the least funded and that the youth who need us most are also the least able to donate. You might not know that we have done all we have with a budget lower than the median annual household income in the U.S. You might not know we have provided the services we have to millions without any federal, state or local funding and that we are fully independent media which depends on public support to survive and grow.

H. Gene Tester, 65, of 08304 Co. Road 33A in Wapakoneta, died at 9:25 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 1, 2014, at his residence. He fought a 5 1/2 year battle with multiple myeloma, and passed away peacefully with his family and close friends at his bedside. He was born on Oct. 4, 1948, in Celina, to Howard and Wilma (Schultz) Tester. On Aug. 21, 1971, at Westview United Methodist Church in Cridersville, he married Cathy J. Archer, who survives.
KENTON — The Wapakoneta Redskins' streak of four consecutive Western Buckeye League wrestling titles ended Saturday but they managed to have two league champions — freshman Landon Hall and senior Jarred Carpenter — and eight placers.
Carpenter won his second straight WBL title in the 220-pound weight class, recording three straight pins Saturday in his title-winning performance, including one at 3:49 over Celina's Kevin Lockwood in the finals.
Hall squeezed out a 5-3 victory in the 182-pound final against Defiance's Eli Brown.
A teacher from the Wapakoneta School District has been recognized for her achievements in the classroom throughout the past year.
Wapakoneta High School English teacher Kelli Benshoff, who teaches 10th grade Language Arts, has been awarded the "2013 Teacher of the Year" award distributed by the Alvin W. Metzger VFW #8445.
Phase one of the new vision for the Armstrong Air and Space Museum grounds was put into place in September of 2011, with the placing of the new sign in front of the museum along I-75. Phase two is set to be completed by May 1.
According to museum Executive Director Chris Burton, phase two consists of the building of the Tranquility Base Picnic Pavilion, a new area where visitors and tour groups can enjoy their lunch before or after their museum visit.
Newly appointed Red Cross Community Chapter Executive Bill Steinbrunner sees his background as a teacher as an advantage when it comes to performing his duties.
"I think my experience in education gives me some skills that will make it possible for me to work with the people," Steinbrunner said. "I've spent my whole adult life working with people, whether it's a classroom full of kids or adults at an after school meeting. I guess I just have a desire to help people."

For more than 6 years, AARP Mississippi has advocated for more home and community-based services (HCBS) funding. This year, work by AARP staff and volunteers paid off with the elimination of the HCBS waiting list. In 2011, AARP Mississippi successfully urged legislators to allocate $16 million from a Medicaid surplus. The Mississippi Division of Medicaid used the $16 million to begin moving people from the HCBS waiting lists into services.

Previously, the program provided services to 12,097 state residents. The funding for 16,800 slots means the 3,386 people whose names were on the waiting list can get the care they need without having to move into a nursing home. In addition, 1,317 more people could be served.

Title: | Factors influencing the population dynamics of Meloidogyne konaensis on coffee in Hawaii |
Author: | Serracin, Mario |
Date: | 2003-05 |
Publisher: | University of Hawaii at Manoa |
Citation: | Serracin, Mario (2003) Factors influencing the population dynamics of Meloidogyne konaensis on coffee in Hawaii. Ph.D. dissertation, University of Hawai'i, United States -- Hawaii. |
Abstract: | Experiments were conducted in the greenhouse, field and growth chambers to evaluate effects of soil type, soil moisture regimes, and porosity on selected aspects of the dynamics of the Kona coffee root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne konaensis. First, the reproduction and damage potential of M. konaensis on resistant and susceptible rootstocks of coffee in four soils under two moisture regimes representative of areas where coffee is grown in Hawaii were assessed in greenhouse experiments. M. konaensis suppressed growth of coffee in all four soils. Nematode reproduction occurred readily in all soil types. Reproduction was lowest in the Hydric Dystrandept soil where the nematode holotype was found. In contrast, root galling was greatest in this soil. Greater galling occurred under constant moisture (33kPa) than under fluctuating moisture conditions in this soil. A field experiment in Kainaliu, Hawaii was conducted to determine the influence of irrigation, plant age, cultivar and nematode on coffee growth and yield. The population densities of the nematode in the soil varied according to plant age and irrigation treatment. Soil populations under irrigated conditions were greater during the months of May to July which normally follows the greatest annual precipitation and a period of active plant growth. Nematode reproduction was greater on coffee transplanted as 6-month-old seedlings than on coffee transplanted at 12- month ofage. Soil water tension varied by season and experimental treatment. Trees from 12-month-old transplants exhibited greater water tension fluctuation with greatest water tension occurring from January to April. Trees transplanted as 6-month-old seedlings into M. konaensis infested soil and irrigated yielded greater coffee fruit than the same aged trees treatment without irrigation. Crop loss and reduction of growth and yield were also more evident from 6-month-old seedlings without supplemental irrigation treatment. In contrast, yield from plots in treatments including irrigation, nematode and 12-month-old transplants yielded poorly. Overall highest yields were obtained from trees free of nematode and with supplemental irrigation. Yield reductions from nematode-infected plants ranged from 30-60% which is economically significant. Penetration, development and reproduction of M. Iwnaensis was determined on tomato as model plant at 0.77 and 0.65 porosity. The rate of root penetration and post-embryonic developmental rates occurred slightly faster the porosity treatment of 0.77 than in the more densely packed soil (porosity of 0.65). Development in the 0.65 porosity progressed slower than at 0.77. Even though the nematodes matured faster and began laying eggs sooner on plants growing at porosity of 0.77, much greater numbers of eggs were laid by 30 days after inoculation at the 0.65 porosity treatment than those at the 0.77 porosity. The finding from this research illustrates the primary role of the Kona coffee root-knot nematode in the Coffee Decline. The soil environment and host suitability are conducive factors for the coffee decline disease. Proper soil moisture management combined with sources of genetic resistance could minimize the damage enabling the coffee industry to remain profitable. |

I rarely eat wings these days. It's not as if I'm sitting at the bar eating celery and drinking water. But I forget about wings. Helen Schwab's piece in E&T Friday reminded me. I loved reading that piece. It wasn't the wings that grabbed me. It was the brackets. All you have to do is put brackets in the newspaper and I'm hooked. You could put anything in those brackets and I'll read. Man, if the Pacific beats Lake Superior in the first round, they have to play the Baltic Sea. Baltic is feisty. I like the upset. I like blue to beat red, but first it has to get past the color purple. I tell you, if Rea Road looks ahead to its second round match with Freedom Drive, Church Street will pound it. As far as wings go, I used to eat a bunch. Man, put some wings on the plate and some Bass Ale draft in the glass and I'm golden My wing Final Four is Township Grille, Mac's Speed Shop, Picasso's and McHale's Honey Pot, with Picasso's winning the whole thing.

TEL AVIV, Israel - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry completed a new round of shuttle diplomacy Sunday without a hoped-for breakthrough in relaunching Mideast peace talks, but optimistically said he had narrowed the gaps between Israel and the Palestinians and vowed to return to the region soon to complete his mission.
Kerry said he was working on an emerging "package" meant to bring the sides together, and said he would leave a team of aides in the region to continue the efforts.
"With a little more work, the start of final status negotiations could be within reach," he told reporters, shortly before leaving Israel for an Asian security conference in Brunei.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, right, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas brief the media after the meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Sunday.
It was not clear how much progress Kerry had truly made. He refused to provide details of the package he is working on, and Israeli and Palestinian officials, at Kerry's request, remained mum.
Even before negotiations have begun, the gaps remain wide on simply establishing the ground rules.
Negotiations have been stalled since 2008, in large part due to Israeli settlement policies in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
The Palestinians claim both areas, captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, for a future independent state alongside Israel and have demanded that Israel stop building settlements on occupied lands before talks resume. More than 500,000 Jewish settlers now live in areas sought by the Palestinians, making it increasingly difficult to partition the land into two states.
The Palestinians also say Israel's pre-1967 frontiers should be the baseline for the final borders between Israel and a future Palestine. Previous Israeli leaders have accepted the 1967 lines as a starting point for talks. But Israel's current prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, while endorsing the idea of a Palestinian state, has refused the Palestinian demands, saying talks should begin immediately without any preconditions.
Netanyahu has ruled out a return to the 1967 lines, saying it would threaten Israel's security and noting the Jewish people's biblical connection to the West Bank. He also rejects any division of the holy city of Jerusalem, home to sensitive Christian, Jewish and Muslim holy sites.
His tough line and the continued construction of settlements have raised Palestinian accusations that he is not serious about pursuing peace.
The Palestinians also seek the Gaza Strip for their state. Israel, which captured Gaza in 1967, withdrew in 2005. Hamas militants subsequently overran the area.
Kerry was on his fifth visit to the region since taking office early this year. Starting Thursday night, he shuttled between Amman, Jordan, Jerusalem and Ramallah, West Bank, holding three meetings each with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israel's Netanyahu.
Their talks were long, sometimes stretching into the wee hours of the morning. His last meeting with the Israeli prime minister and his advisers ended after 3 a.m. Sunday. Afterward, Kerry took a pre-dawn stroll in Jerusalem with senior advisers. Kerry, the sleeves on his white shirt rolled up, walked with a security escort to a park near the hotel, gesturing and talking with his top advisers on the Mideast peace process.
Just hours later, he traveled by convoy to Ramallah for one last meeting with Abbas, cancelling a trip to Abu Dhabi to extend his work with Israel and the Palestinians.
Addressing reporters at Israel's international airport, an exhausted Kerry, running on adrenaline, said he would have stayed longer if he did not have to attend the international conference.
"I am very positive," he said. "I also know progress when I see it, and we are making progress," he added.
He said both Netanyahu and Abbas had asked him to return to the region - on what would be his sixth visit.
But he declined to disclose, even broadly, the main elements of the "package" being pursued to restart talks.

Bufalino agrees, arguing there's little point in pushing such therapy when there's so much downside and so little benefit.
"There are some small subgroups inside the groups that show some statistical benefit, but I think we would all be cautious at this time based on this report," Bufalino said of the American Cancer Society research. "If you just look at it on the surface, it's not clearly definitive."
And perhaps adding fuel to the fire of doubts, reports emerged Aug. 5 that a pharmaceutical company that makes HRT had paid a medical communications firm to help produce 26 studies supporting its use. Those studies were published in 18 medical journals between 1998 and 2005, according to a report first published by the New York Times.
The drug maker, Wyeth, contends that the studies were scientifically accurate. None of the papers disclosed Wyeth's role in initiating and funding the work.

I really want to buy more books but too many US ones I love UK narrators. Can you get some more Eleanor Bron, Gwen Watford, Jenny Agutter?
"Affairs at Thrush Green"
This book is so gripping, yet gentle and inspiring. Stories of village life, detailed insights with humour into people and events. I loved it.
