May include cheats, links to cheats and hints, guides, message boards, screenshots, reviews, previews, reader reviews and more.. Courtesy of: gamefaqs.com EASY CASH METHODS Method 1: In Saul Kada Ruins, keep on going forward to the end of the room, then enter. From a distance you can see two Missile Reverbots, left and right. Destroy them both, then go down where you destroy them. Hold R2 and then walk around until you spot a flying Revabot. Stand in front of it. Keep R2 held. It will open its mouth and usually drop 4000 Zenny. Run up and down the screen and search for it. If you are quick enough, in 15 to 20 minute you can get 500,000 Zenny. Method 2: When you kill a Reaverbot or anything else, go directly in the middle of the explosion while it is blowing up. You will not get hurt, and you will automatically get all the Zenny without it spreading all over. Method 3: Go to the ruins where the fourth key was held. Have the Vacuum Arm on and get to the fifth floor. Take out the missile bot in the center, then just run around destroy all the bots that appear. Use the Vacuum Buster to get the money so you do not get damaged. You can get over 100,000 Zenny in 10 to 30 minutes. This will help get more energy packs and upgrades faster. Method 4: Simply find an empty can and kick it into the nearest trash can. Method 5: Get the Flame Barrier and an S Class Licensee then go to the Planet Elysium. Go into the defense area and proceed until you find a Reverbot that is flying above you. Do not kill it -- it will make three flaming Reverbots. Kill them and the flying Reverbot will make more. Repeat to get as much Zenny as needed. Method 6: The Reaverbot Eye that you buy from the man in Saul Kada can be sold to the owner of the junk shop in Yosyonke. Go through the back door. He will offer you 100,000 Zenny, but hold out for 300,000 Zenny. Do not ask for 500,000 Zenny or he will turn you down and when you ask him again, he will only offer you 10,000 Zenny. Method 7: After opening the ruins on Nino Island, go to floor B2. There will be some plate-shaped Reaverbots. Destroy and collect Zenny. Escape and repeat. Note: The Drill Arm would be useful. Method 8: There are two trash cans in Yosyonke, each with an empty soda can nearby. The trash can next to the general store gives you 200 Zenny when you kick the soda can into it (with Square or Triangle). The trash can behind the doctors office gives you 1,000 Zenny when you kick the soda can into it. Method 9: Go into Professor Barrel's room on the Flutter. The bed and one of the desks or dressers will have Zenny in them. Method 10: Go to the Manda Island ruins after you get the class S license at the gallery or digout. Then, equip the Vacuum Arm and go back to the ruins, as long as you have already destroyed the first breakable wall with the Drill Arm. There will be a large bird statue (only if there is a chest at the beginning of the ruins). Kill it to get 6,500 Zenny with no guild license, 8,000 Zenny with the first level license, or 10,000 Zenny if you have a class S license. After you destroy the statue and get the Zenny, go through the door, then turn around and go back out through the door. The bird statue will appear again. Defeat it from the door, and once it starts exploding get very close to the door. Immediately after you get the Zenny with the Vacuum Arm, go back trough the door. Repeat this to get as much money as needed. Method 11: Go to Calbania and go out the door of Shu's place to see two red Reaverbots. Destroy them both to get 5000 Zenny. Go out and come back in and they will be there again. HINTS AND PLAYING TIPS Hard and easy modes: After completing the game in normal mode, both hard and easy modes will be unlocked. In easy mode, you do not need to bother updating your digging license; your first license will allow you to go into all ruins. Additionally, the lady at the Digger's Guild will not let you take the test. Also, Zenny found when destroying Reaverbots are worth more, while shop prices are less and Bosses are easier. Getting concealed Zenny: Zenny may get stuck in the wall or on a mountain from time to time. To get the Zenny (Refractor Crystals) off the wall or side surface, simply stand next to it and jump. The Zenny will fall off the wall and you will land on top of it. Side roll: Press R1 + Jump to roll to the right or L2 + Jump to roll to the left. This is the most useful way to evade an enemy's attack. Rapid fire: Hold Square and rapidly press Forward. This is very helpful in acquiring the Class S License, against the time consuming purple things. One disadvantage is that you will have difficulty dodging against the fast ones. However, overall this is very good against slow and immobile ones. You will not need to upgrade your energy and rapid after learning this. Invincible to electricity: If you wear the Hover Shoes, you will be invulnerable to electricity. Very Hard mode: Acquire the Class S License and successfully complete the game. Jet Skates/Hydrojets: While skating, hold Up to increase or Down to decrease the speed. Press L1 to for a medium left turn or R1 for a medium right turn. Hold Down + Left + L1 for extreme left cornering and Down + Right + R1 for extreme right cornering. Getting the Jet Skates: Use the following trick to get the Jet Skates quickly. In the first ruin where you have to save Joe, get the old hover jets. When you first go down, take the path on the right, then go straight into the room. The jets should be in that room. After you save Joe and go to the surface, go to the Junk Shop and buy the Roller Board. Take this to Roll and she will make you the Jet Skates. Getting the Drill Arm: Get the Heavy Gear from the box to the right of the Sulfur-Bottom when you head to Bluecher. It is directly in front of the door to the right. You also need the Blunted Drill from the pottery barrels to the right of the building next to the ruin with the first key. Drill Arm in combat: Use your Drill Arm on Bosses, such as the three jellyfish or Bola and Claymore. A fully powered up drill can destroy them in seconds, and works against any enemy that you can reach at point blank range. It also destroys tough normal enemies with one hit, and uses little to no power. It is also incredibly cheap to upgrade. Getting the Cleated Shoes: Complete the Train level then go back through the train's entrance. You should run to an area with one box and will get the Spike Chip. Getting the Zen-Blade (Zero's Blade): After answering the mayor of Manda Island's set of questions, talk to her again. She will offer The Zen Blade for an amount of Zenny or answering 100 questions. After doing either task, you will receive a tool that Roll can change into the blade. This weapon is only good for close attacks but is not very powerful .Press Triangle(3) to perform the Z blade three hit combo. Note: This requires a lot of energy. Cheaper Final Buster upgrades: Megaman can buy his Final Buster upgrades cheaper in Pokte Island if you do not allow the buildings to be destroyed or if you paid to have them be rebuilt. Saving Data: At the start of the game, when you have to save Data in the fire, allow the fire to hit you until your life gauge turns red. Roll will turn on the sprinklers and you will not have to do any work. Shark tactic: Lock onto an enemy by holding R2 (or whatever is configured) and hold Square (fire) or Triangle (special weapon) while holding either Left or Right, This works best on Bosses -- most of their attacks will soar past. If you see a homing projectile soaring your way, roll and/or jump and then continue to perform the "Shark tactic". It is recommended that the special weapon "Homing Missile" or "Shining Laser" be ysed when fighting a Boss. Every now and then a Boss may bypass this trick and fire directly in front of you -- for example, during Tron Bonne's first attempt (Crab Bot). Note: This tactic does not work on Crab Bot when she is performing her "Machine Gun Spray" attack (when she spins and keeps firing). Also, it will not work on Sara in either form. Black Megaman: Find a pig near the home of Shu and her brothers on Carbania Island. Keep on kicking the pig and Megaman will get darker, then the pig with a couple of kicks/throws later. Note: If you do this you will not be able to take the Mayor's Quiz on Manda Island. Pig: After destroying Glyde's base, Shu will give you a pig. Sell it for 5000 Zenny. Do not give it to the girl on Nino Island, as she will eat it, which is what Shu told you not to do. Picnic Lunch: Talk to Roll on the Flutter and pay the 4,000 Zenny to fix the kitchen and other areas Data burned in the fire at the beginning as soon as possible. Not only can you get the Broken Motor after it is fixed, but you also can talk to Roll and she will say "There's something I want..." She will ask for a new refrigerator. Buy it for her, then exit the Flutter and re-enter. Go to the second floor and to the kitchen area. Check the refrigerator and you will get a Picnic Lunch, which refreshes all of your life gauge. After you use it, you can return and get another. This way you can always have a secondary Canteen available. Use the Picnic Lunch first, so you do not have to use the expensive Canteen. Remember to use it only after down to nothing. Energy level: Do not panic when you have about three hits left on your life bar. No matter how low you are, until your energy bar is flashing red, you are good to go. As long as you have even less than half an energy "click" left in your life gauge you still have two hits, and not one. This should prove helpful during long levels and Bosses Avoid burning or freezing to death: You can never burn or freeze to death if you are in the red with shield and on fire. Wait for the fire (or ice) to go out, then use your Canteen. Note: If you go out of fire and get hit by the "tongue" of fire or ice via a Shielder (or anything else that may set you ablaze, such as lava or ice pits) again, you will be terminated. High ledge: Go to the underground water dungeon under the little Island that was attacked by Glyde and the Birdbots gang. Get to where Roll says that there is a place very high up. Use the following trick to get up to the high platform. Have the Hydrojet equipped, which enables Jet-Skate underwater. Then aim forward and hold Up while Jet-Skating in order to get to the other side of the platform. Although it looks far, it will work because you have a greater chance to get height when underwater. Elysium Residential Area: Path through the light: On the beginning Island, you will see some portals open and some closed. Look at your mini-display-map at the top-left side of the screen and go to the portal until you on the map (the blue arrow) is pointing as close to directly up as possible. Enter that portal. Point the blue arrow on the map again and go up. There should be a flaming Reaverbot or two walking around. Defeat the bot(s) and point the arrow on the map right. More Reaverbots will be on this island. Take another right. Now go downward. There should be three Reaverbots marching around. Now, turn left and that should be the end of your trek. Go inside the building to save. Elysium: Easy Zenny: After you find the giant refractor in the defense area and use it to power the elevator on the Central Area, you can receive easy Zenny by killing the three yellow Reaverbots. You can destroy them easily without taking damage by jumping on top of the gates. Usually the Reaverbots will just run around the gate, trying to hit you. Just destroy them and collect the over 6,000 Zenny each one rewards. Return to the Shuttle Bay Area via the elevator, return, and repeat. Nino Island: Killing enemies: On Nino Island, where you get the second key, you can kill the three jellyfish-like Reaverbots and the gigantic red fish-like Reaverbots very easily. After you flood the floor, walk towards the small passage where you must place a metal block on a button to pass. Very near to it, you can find another door leading to another elevator. Go up using the elevator, activate the computer systems to drain the water from the floor below, and return. Now, the red fish-like reaverbots harmlessly flop about, allowing you to destroy them to receive lots of Zenny. Along with this, the three jellyfish cannot move at all. Just shoot yellow energy spheres around, which are very slow. Kill them for more Zenny, along with the key. Pokte Village: Flying Mega Man: When in Pokte Village, if you do not allow the buildings to be destroyed or you paid to have them be rebuilt, enter the shop and purchase a model of the Sulpher Bottom. Give this to Roll and she will put it in her room. Go in there and jump on the model from underneath. Mega Man will hold on and start flying around the room. Yoshyokne Town: Duck: Go to Yoshyokne Town (the snowy place) and look around the city. You will eventually find a duck. If you can jump on top of it (overhead view helps) you can use it as a skateboard. While you are on top of the duck, press Square to kick and the duck will start moving with you on it. To change direction, press L1 or R1 and kick. DEFEATING HINTS AND PLAYING TIPS Bosses: For any Boss, a good strategy is to equip a special weapon that you can run with while shooting, such as the Machine Buster. If possible, take a Hyper Cartridge. Run around them using the sideways run, turning to adjust your path every once in a while. Along with jumping, you should be able to avoid most of the attacks. Shoot the special weapon to wear them down, and use your Buster to finish them off. Note: If you have the Laser, it is much more useful than any other weapon. Note: If you are fighting Sera, wait until it is in the second form to use the special weapon. Reaverbots: Successfully complete the game under the very hard difficulty setting. Start a new game and look at your Buster parts. You now will have the Accessory Pack Omega, which maxes out all of your abilities. Shielders: If you shoot a Shielder with any high impact weapon, its shield will be blown away allowing it to be hit more easily. REFRACTOR VALUES Refractors are found after destroying Reaverbots that are not on the test or "Refractor Bosses". Small silver Refractors: 5 Zenny Green Refractors: 25 Zenny Yellow Refractors: 50 Zenny Pink Refractors: 150 Zenny Light purple Refractors: 250 Zenny Purple Refractors: 500 Zenny SPECIAL REFRACTOR VALUES These are found after defeating a previous Boss or Bosses in certain ruins in the room after the defeated Boss.

Critical Rating: AAAA

Once the editor kills his cock-softening electronic music and dizzying FX (during tease), everything begins to gel — and we mean that literally!
With reliable Francesca Lé behind the camera, Jaye pulls off a tasty deep-throat session on Mr. Pete, who rewards her with a G-spot fingering and rousing hump. This and all prior encounters feature hot vag fucks.
When Wood hooks up with Sin, all bets are off. Multi-orgasmic Sin squirts while on the end of a standing cornhole; simultaneously Wood blows jizz on her asshole. Normally this would be a scene's end but they keep on butt-ruttin' and leakin' DNA cocktail. Hot and juicy!

Advances in Food Analysis
View the Issue
Recent Developments in LC Column Technology
This month's instalment discusses the laboratory deployment of gas cylinders with appropriate pressure regulators, gas filtration, and gas fittings, as well as the question of cylinder retirement.
A previous "GC Connections" instalment (1) discussed the intake and disposition of compressed gas cylinders, including verifying gas cylinders and their content upon receipt, safely moving and securing them in place, and organizing them by their current use. After cylinders are in place in the laboratory, the next steps are to attach appropriate gas regulators, tubing, filters, and fittings to bring the high-purity gas supplies to one or more gas chromatographs.
Pressure Regulators
In Control: Laboratory pressure regulators are designed to expand gases from cylinder pressures as high as 3000 psig (20.7 MPa) down to operating pressures as low as 10–20 psig (150–275 kPa). Gas-tank regulators are mechanical devices with springs, screws, and a counterbalancing diaphragm. Electronic pressure control (EPC) has not yet found its way into the tank realm in any significant way, although some laboratory hydrogen generators incorporate EPC. Electronic pressure control of in-instrument gases will be covered in a future "GC Connections" instalment.
In Figure 1(a), the adjustment knob is fully turned out and the spring exerts no force on the diaphragm: The pressure on the outside of the diaphragm is equal to ambient pressure. Gas at the tank pressure has entered the regulator at the inlet connection, and the poppet valve below the diaphragm is fully seated so that no gas flows through it. The upper shaft of the poppet is not in contact with the actuating seat that is attached to the diaphragm.
In Figure 1(b), the adjustment knob has been turned clockwise and its shaft has moved downwards to exert force on the spring and diaphragm. This movement has caused the actuating seat under the diaphragm to contact the upper shaft of the poppet valve and move it downwards, which in turn unseats the poppet and allows gas to flow into the outlet chamber. As pressure builds up in the outlet chamber, the diaphragm is forced upwards against the tensioning spring. The regulator settles into a constant outlet pressure when the spring force and the pneumatic force are balanced as gas flows out of the regulator.

Tennessee Lt. Jeff Bowman Dies Unexpectedly
Lt. Jeff Bowman
Flags at fire stations in Chattanooga are at half staff, and apparatus has been draped with black shrouds in memory of a lieutenant who died Saturday at his home.
Lt. Jeff Bowman, 42, responded to three incidents during his last shift at Station 9. He was found dead at his home the following morning, said Lt. Daniel Hague, safety officer for the Chattanooga Fire Department.
His death has left colleagues stunned. "Jeff was the last person we would expect...He was in really good physical shape," Hague said, adding that Bowman was a boxer, and participated in tough guy competitions.
"He was a dedicated father, and helped his sons with physical fitness too," Hague said.
Bowman's brother, Don, is a captain with the fire department and assigned to Ladder 1.
The last Chattanooga firefighter to die in the line of duty was in the 1940s.
Bruce Garner, a spokesman for the fire department, said a number of companies are planning to participate in the funeral services. He released the following information about plans.
The funeral procession will be divided into two parts. Fire apparatus from area departments are welcome to join either part of the procession, or both, by staging at the following locations on Wednesday, March 15. In addition to participating in the funeral procession, you may be asked to block an intersection along the procession route.
Part 1 of Procession: Stage no later than 9:30 a.m. on East Brainerd Road at Heritage Funeral Home (7454 E. Brainerd Rd.). Personnel will be on site to help with staging. The procession will leave the funeral home at approximately 10:30 a.m., and will travel to Brainerd Baptist Church (300 Brookfield Ave.).
Part 2 of Procession: Staging should be completed no later than 10:30 a.m. in large parking lot near Brainerd Baptist Church (300 Brookfield Ave.). You must be in place by 10:30 a.m. so that you will be in place when the funeral procession arrives. Personnel will be on site to help direct parking. After the service, around noon, the procession will head for Chattanooga National Cemetery (Holtzclaw & Bailey Ave.)
Communications with the Staging Coordinators will take place on the Mutual Aid channel (154.280) and on two "Disaster" channels (Chattanooga's 800 system). The funeral home Staging Coordinator -- "Heritage Staging" -- will be on Disaster 3, and Mutual Aid. The church Staging Coordinator -- "Brainerd Baptist Staging" -- will be on Disaster 4, and Mutual Aid.
Further inquiries about participating in the funeral procession should be directed to Bruce Garner with the Chattanooga Fire Department at (423) 643-5600.

Tangra Masala
8709 Grand Avenue, Elmhurst, NY 11373Map
+1 718 803 2298
Neighborhood: Queens
For those who follow the Islamic dietary regime, this is the place you can eat without reservation, for the meat is Halal. The clientèle is mostly Indian, given the Chinese preparations that are hot and spicy. A typical meal includes items like Chicken Corn Soup, or Chicken Pakoras, a Manchurian Tiger Prawn Platter, a Rosewater Ice-cream, and a Snapple Iced Tea. No, this is not authentic Chinese food, but the Indian version, which is well-loved and popular among the folks from the sub-continent. The atmosphere is noisy and the service very quick, but be prepared to wait for a table, especially on weekends, when it fills up pretty fast.

Mom Confessions
Featured Posts
Would you allow your 16 year old that is in a 2 year relationship to sleep with her boyfriend at your house? My sister is allowing this and her reasoning is that it's much safer for them to be at home?
My mom left me and my sister have boys spend the night for years. We always had co ed parties and sleepovers. And when i was 16 she left my bf spend the night with me in my bed. When i was 17 and decided that i was ready to lose my v card, i told her and she took me to the clinic to get on birth control. When she was young she had to sneak around and ended up in alleys and she didnt want that for my sister or me. I personally thonk that no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to stop a kid from having sex and it is so much better to just let them do it safly in your home than to worry about them being hurt or caught in a public place.
by Anonymous 108September 8, 2013 at 10:14 PMWe don't even allow dating until college.
Sex is not just sex when sex can also equal diseases and pregnancy. Some people on here act like sex is as simple as a dinner date...I don't get it. My children can and do know they are more than welcome to be open and honest with me as well, but they also know that I am their parent first and their friend second.
Quoting momoftwo0406:
What does morals have to do with here? At least the 16 year old feels comfortable enough to go to her mother. They sound like they can be open and honest with each other.
Not everyone thinks you should wait till marriage and that doesn't make them bad people. Sex is just sex to some.
Quoting LysNVantesMom:
Um, no, where are the morals? What is this teaching a child?
If the parents allow this there are teaching their daughter that a boy can use their daughter for sex. She is not an object. Does this boy plan to marry her soon? what will they do if she gets pregnant? aboiet the baby? or put it up for adoption or keep it?? Making love is a deep connection and what happens when he just leaves, will she be suicidal? she loves him? how will this make her feel ? the parents are wrong and not teaching them any values and they are not teaching their daughter to respect herself. Does she wana marry this guy and do he also wana marry her? Are thery in love? Has she talked to his parents? Do they know they sleep together at your house? i dont think the parents are acting like parents. If these kids wana do adult roles they must commit and act like adults. These kids are playing with fire and parents shouldnt encourage it.
by Anonymous 109September 8, 2013 at 10:35 PMNot in a million years. My daughter and her boyfriend have been together for five years and not once until they were 18-1/2 and he moved in with us. They are 21 and having there first child together in five months. No 16 year old is sleeping with anyone in my home. My daughters best friend and her girlfriend stay over sometimes too and until they were 18 they weren't allowed spending the night together in our home.
My boyfriend and I lived together when I was 15. 7 years later we're engaged with two kids. I won't allow my kids to live with their boyfriends/girlfriends at that age, but the harder you try to prevent your kids from having sex, the more they want to do it, so they'll be educated, and provided with birth control.

"Everybodys just finding ways to say what they need to say," said Leslie Cagan, who came sporting an "I Love Girlie Men" sticker, a dig at Arnolds fag baiting of the Kerry campaign. Cagans group, United for Peace and Justice, called for the no-permit gathering at Union Square to cap the week's protests, remembering the way people massed there after 9-11.
The cops arrayed in force around the perimeter seemed relaxed for once. And the crowd was a real mix, from pagan drummers and dancers and wailing sax players to office workers, even a few disaffected Republicans and "liberal-bias" journalists, who ditched their credentials to mingle with the 5,000 or so who jammed the square to register their dissent as George Bush delivered his acceptance speech.
Word began percolating for a march on Madison Square Garden. "Bush is speaking, they need us there," shouted one man, pointing out that the A.N.S.W.E.R. ideologues were finishing their rally in the protest pen at 30th Street, with no one to take their place. "You'll get arrested, don't fall into the trap," was the immediate retort.
But others took up the call, and soon a large crowd was massing at 15th Street, ready to move. Police initially agreed to allow people to walk side by side up Eighth Avenue"nice and slow, we're gonna take a nice walk," a white shirt on a bullhorn announced. But when the cops pulled back the barricades at around 10:30 p.m., the crowd jubilantly swarmed into the street. "No More Bush!" they roared, about 2000-strong and marching at a fast clip, with scores of riot cops escorting them the whole way.
People whistled and hooted, blew conch horns and chanted, "The people united will never be defeated!" They waved signs with obscene slogans, and carried candles and Bush heads on sticks. They marched into the "designated protest pen" at 30th Street and filled most of the block before the cops threw up a row of barricades at 29th Street to divide the crowd, leaving a rowdy marching band and about 100 others behind a wall of police.
"Go on strike!" the crowd chanted, and eventually the cops allowed the two groups to unitethough not until 11:40 p.m., well after Bush had skipped town, and the bulk of the protest had petered out.
But for the people who took the streets of their own force, it was a victory march. "It's like everyone individually chose to come here, and now we had a voice," said Annie Yang, an HIV researcher from Brooklyn. It felt like people recovered some protest rights last night. Maybe next time the protest leaders will join in.

More advanced trains will be in place on the Alishan railway in time to serve tourists visiting for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chiayi Forest District Office said yesterday. The newly purchased locomotives are exclusively designed for mountain railways and are equipped with advanced equipment including electronic braking systems. Yeh Hsien-liang (葉賢良), director of the office, said the new service will offer more convenience, noting that the new trains can carry twice as many passengers as the old ones. Alishan is considered one of the best places in Taiwan to view the full moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The officials said a one-way train ticket from Chiayi City to Alishan will cost NT$399 (US$12). Those interested can call (05) 276-8094 for more information.

I adopted a cute White Poodle from Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption back in the fall of 1999!! He just celebrated his 14th Birthday and I wanted you to know that Boudreaux (he was Beau when APRA had him – he was saved from a shelter in Douglas County), has lived through single life with me, my marriage, added two brothers (my sons) to the family, and now is enjoying his elder years with my sons catering to his every need! ; )
He still runs around like a puppy with a lot of naps in the day! Always sweet as ever and I just wanted APRA to know that those happy endings for the pets you all save continue for more than a decade!!!
With him being 14, we had to change his diet. He now eats allergy free prescription dog food (Science Diet) and half a Zyrtec every day to prevent any issues with allergies. And he has been healthy as ever since we made this change about 7 yrs ago! ~ Christi B.

Is there a better way to manage your IT systems?
Many businesses struggle to get the best from their IT systems. The reasons are hardly surprising. The need to operate within a restricted budget and the lack of on-site expertise mean that, all too often, the organisation pays a price in terms of low productivity and ongoing distraction from your real task.

Is your business battling some or all of these IT issues?
- No back up – or even worse, a non-functional back up that everyone assumes is working. Has your back up data ever been retrieved or checked?
- Illicit software as a result of license duplication, leaving you exposed to legal risk
- Spam, viruses and junk email clogging computers and dragging down productivity
- Outdated hardware and software, with no real knowledge about which new technology to choose
- No one on site with the time or expertise to maintain your systems
- Endless IT firefighting, rather than being able to get on with the really important tasks
- Low productivity caused by old-fashioned and inefficient systems

Terminators Called to Account or We don't Need No Stinkin' (Independent) Graduate School?
The Decider?
From the Daily:
U admins breach policy in decision to restructure Grad School
A University of Minnesota document shows that administrators broke University policy in their hasty decision to restructure the Graduate School.
While the widely criticized decision to restructure the Graduate School remains firm, the guidelines for how it will be done are wavering and the administration is expressing "regret" over how the restructuring was communicated to the public.
Although University President Bob Bruininks said in a March 1 e-mail to faculty and staff that he stands by the decision, a document indicates University policy was broken during the early stages of the process.
The University's Policy on Reorganization, approved by the University Senate and administration in 1999, states that if a University president "contemplates … a major reorganization of the central administration, he or she shall present a proposal to the Senate Consultative Committee (or separately to the Faculty Consultative Committee and Student Senate Consultative Committee) for information and discussion."
University spokesman Daniel Wolter declined comment because he said he does not have enough information at this time, but he acknowledged that the Graduate School is considered a part of the "central administration."
Wolter originally was not aware of that aspect of the policy, but when specifically asked about it, he said the possibility of a policy breach was a "good point."
However, he also said the document could be construed in different ways.
The SCC is made up in part of members from the FCC and SSCC and serves as the consulting body to the president and as the executive committee of the University Senate.
While the SCC doesn't need to approve policy decisions, according to the document, they are supposed to be informed, and there is no indication that the reconstruction was brought up to the committee prior to the decision being announced.
The SCC represents University faculty, academic professionals, civil service staff and students at large and not the individual campuses, institutes, colleges, schools or departments of the University.
Council of Graduate Students President Geoff Hart said he is angry that the administration broke a policy that says in "black and white" that the president has to consult prior to making major decisions.
"This policy was enacted to help the president make informed decisions based on evidence and discussion of a broad audience, not just a few select biased few in the administration," Hart said.

You will fit in quite fine. I did the reefs and rainforest tour last july and we had about 4 or 5 couples on our tour.
As for booking the twin share accomodation, it is really easy it's an extra cost but worth it. I booked the twin share with my friend, and it gives you a lot more privacy. I paid about $400 extra to have the twin share, which I didn't think was that bad considering I was down there for 20 days.

Greenville, Spartanburg, Charlotte, Asheville Birth Photographer
Receive monthly updates or current promotions by signing up for our newsletter!
I believe in the preservation of life's best moments. Birth photography is more than just telling your baby's birth story. Birth is a transcending experience where a woman truly learns her inner strength. The overwhelming joy new parents have when they first meet their baby, and maybe capturing sweet tears from the most unexpected family member. I know how valuable these moments are. I would be truly honored by helping you and your family remember this most precious time in your life.
As a specialized birth photographer and videographer, I have committed my photographic talents documenting the journey of life's greatest gifts. Being a trained labor doula has given me the tools I need to perform my task to its fullest potential. I quietly document the miracle of giving birth, while respecting the birth space that has been created. Whatever your birth plans are, its a beautiful and important time in life to document. I hope that you decide to use a professional birth photographer no matter the journey, so Dad can focus on mom and the moments, rather than the shutter button.
Is birth documentation for you? Check out real testimonies from the parents who have hired me!

In 1978, my burnout uncle unexpectedly showed up at Grandpa's farm for the Christmas gathering towing a small trailer filled with gifts. Great Grandma didn't let him unpack anything until he swore on Christ and the cross that none of it was bought with drug money, which didn't offend him since that was the usual way he made his living.
After he so swore, we kids and teens were drafted into moving two pallets worth of packages into the farmhouse parlor and stacking them into a mountain that dwarfed the 6-foot Christmas tree. 20+ members of that branch of the family gathered at the farm each year back then, and uncle Gene had brought a present for every damn one of them. Speculation ran rampant because he'd never kept a proper job for more than a week in his life, but he insisted that dope had nothing to do with it, and that furthermore he was leaving all that behind and these gifts were a celebration of going clean and returning to the straight and narrow.
Christmas morning revealed him to be two thirds truthful; as people unwrapped their presents, it became swiftly clear that he had not in fact bought them with drug money ...or any other type of money. The gifts were all random things that had obviously been boosted from somewhere, probably a shipping yard. The emphasis here is on random because (revealed later) each item was a theft of opportunity and he forgot what half of them were after he wrapped them, so he apportioned them by size in order of descending age.
Thus Great Grandma unwrapped a giant color TV - the kind with the feet - and Grandpa got an enormous crate of pineapples still packed for bulk transport. Aunt Sara was overjoyed at scoring an Amana Radarange, while her husband was less enthused about his twelve-dozen Fighting Illini T-shirts. Other things the adults received were a carton of cigars, a rolling toolbox, cases of perfume and toilet wax rings, a box of 25 claw machine stuffed animals, a year's supply of Tang, a stack of sombreros, a display case of dentists' drills and other things I don't recall.
The full list of oddities and who got what is hazy because the kids got to open our presents first and paid scant attention afterward, though I do recall people fretting that our hyper-Christian matriarch would flip shit about her house being full of blatantly hot merchandise. They needn't have worried; when she opened the TV her eyes went saucer-round, and from then on anyone who talked to her got told to shut their pie hole and help her get it running.
My older brother got a case of 400 small donut-shaped speaker magnets, which, for a 10 year old, was pretty kickin' rad. My gift was a case of boxes of rolls of Hall's Mentho-Lyptus® cough drops, which was also cool because those things are delicious.
Probably the worst gift I got was a pony. I mean like an actual, live pony. I should point out that I never, not once, expressed any form of interest whatsoever in live ponies. I WAS crazy about My Little Pony toys, so maybe my parents somehow thought that translated into me wanting an actual pony? It seems like they would have at least asked me first. I suppose a lot of kids would like having a pony, but it was honestly so boring. You're just sitting on this smelly animal while it walks along very, very, very slowly. And of course I had to ride it for years, because it wasn't like I could just refuse to ride it after my parents spent all that money getting me a pony. So I had to keep riding and feeding and brushing that pony for the rest of his life.
So I feel like an ungrateful bitch sitting here wanting to return all this useless crap everyone got me, but w/o receipts I don't think I can get cash to go places that carry things such as real denim jeans in fat sizes.
Drink-Mix Man
A few years ago, I bought a globe for a 7-year-old relative. Just your run-of-the-mill, non-electronic, non-fun classroom globe. A buddy pointed it out to me at Target and tried to sell me on how unique and awesome a gift it would make.
The lameness of this choice should have been obvious to me, but I swear to God--as I stood in Target pondering this disappointment, no less than two children around the same age as my target walked by and asked their parents for one. After I put it in my cart, a slightly frantic fellow shopper also jogged up to me and asked me where I got it, and if there were any more. I wasn't sure at first, but these three passers-by and my cajoling friend left me feeling pretty darn validated and excited by my purchase.
The crushed hopes of this kid opening her toy-sized box and getting a classroom accessory were tangible to say the least.
My father once purchased a pair of lawn rakes for my brother and I. Our names were engraved on the handles.
I was about 14, and really into Lord of the Dance (I was an Irish dancer, in my defence!) So one birthday, I opened my card from my grandpa's girlfriend, and inside were a pair of tickets to Lord of the Dance! I got really excited!
But then I looked at them. They were used. They were a pair of tickets from a show she and her friend had attended a few months ago.
She wasn't doing it maliciously, or anything. She just genuinely thought I would enjoy a pair of used tickets.
Needless to say, I threw them out.
The perfect addition to my living room. The hardy resin exterior is fantastic, because I can just hose it down to remove all the raccoon dung that tends to accumulate.
Now with the sun and the warmth and the generally pleasant atmosphere, you can no longer blame the weather for why you've spent the last sixteen hours sitting inside. You'll need to stay on your toes if you want to stay in your chair.

(NGSX: Quote) announced that the Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee or AADPAC to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration did not recommend FDA approval of a new indication for Qutenza or Capsaicin 8% patch for the management of neuropathic pain or nerve pain related to HIV associated peripheral neuropathy or HIV-PN.NeurogesX said that currently, its supplemental new drug application remains under evaluation, with Priority Review status granted by the FDA. A decision from the Agency is expected by March 7, 2012, under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA).Qutenza (capsaicin) 8% patch, containing a prescription strength capsaicin, is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the management of neuropathic pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Qutenza is also approved in the European Union and is marketed by Astellas Pharma Europe Ltd., the European affiliate of Tokyo-based Astellas Pharma Inc.The company said that Clinical studies have shown that a single one-hour Qutenza application can provide three months relief from pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), the nerve pain that can occur after shingles. In clinical trials, serious adverse reactions included application-associated pain and increase in blood pressure. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: firstname.lastname@example.com

Non-occlusive ischaemic enteritis. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 2301896 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Non-occlusive infarction of the intestine without any associated medical disorder responsible for prolonged hypotension, is a rare clinical entity. A retrospective analysis of 46 cases revealed that the disease occurred predominantly in young, healthy, male patients. The classical presentation was of abdominal pain and persistent tachycardia out of proportion to the abdominal signs of distension, mild tenderness and reduced bowel sounds. The presenting features were of peritonitis due to perforation (63%) and intestinal obstruction (37%). A preoperative diagnosis was suspected only in six cases. Operative findings revealed that the bowel was infarcted without involvement of the mesenteric vessels, which were pulsatile up to the bowel wall. The characteristic findings of the disease, which mainly affected the jejunum (69.6%), were: (i) infarcted area of the bowel surrounded by skip lesions of purple, constriction bands; (ii) multiple small perforations in a paper-thin bowel: or (iii) a long linear perforation. Histologically, ischaemic changes were found to affect the mucosa and submucosa beyond the macroscopic limits. Mortality was high (19.6%). |

When artist Frank Kozik and Kidrobot came out with the adorable Labbit Series a few years ago, the one thing everyone talked about was the figure's painted butthole. In fact, so much "unintended emphasis" been place on the rear of the Labbit that Frank Kozik and Kidrobot decided to give consumers what they want. At yesterday's IMPRINT Culture Lab event here in New York City, Paul Budnitz, the founder of Kidrobot, briefly previewed several new designs, including a new plush Labbit with A Functional Rear Entry, technical term for "working butthole". After much thought, the designers at Kidrobot came up with a way to stick anyone's finger up into a Labbit's…you know what… They even came up with a schematic on how it all works. The figure will be release sometimes around the holiday season this year. Now, there is a whole new definition to the term "anal retentive".

Arkansas AIM: a growing program Arkansas held their second registered AIM shoot on April 24, hosted by the Remington GC, Lonoke. A total of 166 young athletes vied for team and individual awards. Despite thunderstorms and more than an hour�s delay, state AIM director Petey Chambless said, �We were pleased with the number of shooters and family and friends who attended.� Once the bad weather passed it was partly sunny with temperatures in the mid 70s, but gusty winds made the targets sporting. Teams and individuals received medals courtesy of Remington GC and Bronson Castleberry, manager. �Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to all who came out, competitors and supporters alike,� said Petey. The gun club also held an inaugural AIM shoot March 27 with a turnout of 170 shooting athletes. Petey and wife Renae said, �We thank and recognize all who worked hard and volunteered at these first two AIM events: The Remington GC, its staff and manager Bronson Castleberry and wife Anita; Robby and Wendy Pennock; Vanessa Crossfield, photographer; Ricky Hill; Scott Harper, and various others who are always ready and willing to lend a helping hand.� Bubba�s Southern Bar-B-Que vended, providing good food and plenty of sweet tea at the 100-bird event. Renae started shooting skeet a few years back and asked Petey and son J. K. to come to the gun club and shoot. They got involved with trapshooting and started registering targets in 2006. The Arkansas Game & Fish Commission started the Arkansas Youth Shooting Sports Program (AYSSP) in 2007. The Chambless family became involved with that. �The AYSSP is an excellent state-funded program to get kids in the great outdoors and teach them gun safety and the sport of trapshooting.� Today the AYSSP has 5,200 youth involved. When ATA started the AIM youth program in 2009, the Chamblesses were asked to get involved. They decided to watch and learn that year before jumping in, traveling to other states and visiting with directors and coaches in order to learn as much as possible. Petey became AIM director for Arkansas for the 2010 year and has steadily recruited youth shooters, parents and coaches. In March this year there were 49 AIM members. As of May there were 249. The AIM teams participate in the AYSSP shoots. Several were held in May, and Petey said those events were good practice to get the kids ready for the AIM state shoot in June. The Chamblesses plan on taking teams to the Grand to compete in the AIM Grand Championships. Arkansas participated last year, when the Harrisburg Hornets won the champion team trophy in the sub-junior division and Derek Brown earned the individual champion award. �AIM is an excellent program for youth, emphasizing the importance of academics, integrity, gun safety and good shooting know-how,� Petey said. �AIM is an avenue to get youth involved in the lifetime sport of ATA competition and friends.� AIM shoot Pre-Sub (11 and under) Team none entered Individual 1st Austin Wilson, Batesville 89 2nd Chase Myers, Cabot 78 3rd Morgan Matheny, Batesville 69 Sub-Junior (12-14) Team 1st Pocahontas Spring River, Pocahontas 439 2nd Team Nitro STS, Lonoke 435 3rd Cabot Young Guns, Cabot 423 Individual 1st Brad Hulen, Pocahontas 96 2nd Landon Woodfield, Mt.

Brief Synopsis
The U.S. armed forces are not the only military that has sought to discern the lessons of the Kosovo campaign in the spring of 1999. The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has also analyzed the conflict and drawn its own conclusions. In fact, as Dr. June Teufel Dreyer, Professor of Political Science at the University of Miami in Florida, observes, rather than reach a single set of conclusions, different groups within the Chinese military drew different judgments. Dr. Dreyer argues that these differences of opinion reflect the considerable diversity of thinking about defense modernization and future war that exists within the PLA today. The analysis that follows provides an opportunity for readers to learn about the different strands in Chinese strategic thinking as that country enters the 21st century. The different views that Dr. Dreyer identifies reminds us of the dangers of treating the PLA as a single monolithic entity. Only through careful study and analysis can we anticipate trends in the future direction of the PLA.

Steinbacher, Stefan and Kaiser, Johannes and Eisenreich, Wolfgang and Huber, Robert and Bacher, Adelbert and Rohdich, Felix (2003) Structural Basis of Fosmidomycin Action Revealed by the Complex with 2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate Synthase (IspC): implications for the catalytic mechanism and anti-malaria drug development.

2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate synthase (IspC) is the first enzyme committed to isoprenoid biosynthesis in the methylerythritol phosphate pathway, which represents an alternative route to the classical mevalonate pathway. As it is present in many pathogens and plants, but not in man, this pathway has attracted considerable interest as a target for novel antibiotics and herbicides. Fosmidomycin represents a specific high-affinity inhibitor of IspC. Very recently, its anti-malaria activity in man has been demonstrated in clinical trials. Here, we present the crystal structure of Escherichia coli IspC in complex with manganese and fosmidomycin at 2.5 Å resolution. The (N-formyl-N-hydroxy)amino group provides two oxygen ligands to manganese that is present in a distorted octahedral coordination, whereas the phosphonate group is anchored in a specific pocket by numerous hydrogen bonds. Both sites are connected by a spacer of three methylene groups. The substrate molecule, 1-D-deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate, can be superimposed onto fosmidomycin, explaining the stereochemical course of the reaction.

Phall | |
Type | Curry |
Place of origin | United Kingdom |
Main ingredients | chilli peppers (or scotch bonnet or habanero peppers), tomatoes, ginger |
Cookbook:Phall Phall |
Phall (sometimes spelled fall, faal, fahl, phaal, phal or paal) is a British Asian Indian curry dish, which originated in Indian restaurants in Birmingham, UK. It should not to be confused with the char-grilled, gravyless, finger food phall from Bangalore.[1]
It is one of the hottest forms of curry regularly available, even hotter than the vindaloo, using a large number of ground standard chilli peppers, or a hotter type of chilli such as scotch bonnet or habanero. Typically, the dish is a tomato-based thick curry and includes ginger and optionally fennel seeds.[2]
The phall has achieved notoriety as the hottest generally available dish from Indian restaurants. In 2008 in the UK, a charity competition in Hampshire was based on competitors eating increasingly hot phalls.[3]

FO: One was not enough; Lanesplitter take 2
Looks familiar, huh? Just because this pattern is so fun, straight after casting off the first one, I cast on for this. I still had Noro Kureyon (colourway 95 for those interested) and matched it with some brown Cascade 220 heathers. I've been wearing this skirt a lot. I've had it on around 10 times before these pictures were taken. This skirt holds its' shape really well.
Some specs
Needles: 4.5 mm circulars
Yarn: about 1.7 skeins of Noro Kureyon, colourway 95, and 0.83 of a skein of Cascade 220 heathers in brown
Oh, I did not have any brown tights at hand this morning, but since I'm wearing my honey cowl in spritz colourway, it works out pretty well. No pictures to prove that this time though.

Member keeping tabs on debate
Obviously, Mark Twain was not referring to today's climate change debate when he said, "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes."
For the two sides involved in trying to get their respective messages out, though, it must seem like one is always tying up its laces while the other is holding press conferences in Stockholm.
And it's why AAPG member Hannes Leetaru, a petroleum geologist at the Illinois State Geological Survey and panelist on the Division Energy Forum at the 2009 AAPG Annual Convention in Denver, thought it was important to track not the actual merits of the conversation, but the actual conversation itself.
To do that he started his own website which monitors global news and social media coverage of those who believe in the catastrophe of climate change, those who deny it and those institutions, governments and scientific associations on all fronts throughout the debate.
"That's actually been a real focus for us," Leetaru says of his desire to produce a website that tracks all the information on climate change, "to ensure that we simply report on the prevailing stories of the moment, rather than advocating for one side or the other."
The "us" he cites includes his son, Kalev.
I had just read Michael Crichton's "State of Fear," the elder Leetaru said, "where he made the claim that interest in global warming peaks in the summer when it's hot out and is lower in the winter when the temperatures are cooler. I asked my son if there was a way his data mining techniques could be used to test whether that was really the case."
There was.
And in 2006, in Virginia, father and son published a poster at the 2006 Annual Conference on Carbon Capture and Sequestration.
"We found that, indeed, news coverage of global warming did peak in the summer and had been increasing steadily over several years," Leetaru said.
There was something else, too.
"We also found that nearly 80 percent of the top 100 websites returned by Google for carbon capture and sequestration were based in the United States."
Leearu felt the website needed to expand its base – not only in what it included, but from where the information emanated.
On the site, then, there is a range of tools, from interactive maps, to timelines, to rankings of those individuals making news, both nationally and internationally.
Knowing that politics is the yang to the facts' yin in the debate, Leetaru is mindful of the land mines in front of him.
"Given the emotional nature of the field, we certainly get quite a bit of questions and accusations on this from both sides," he said, "so in this respect we feel that we are doing a good job of remaining neutral in this respect."
Leetaru believes that by utilizing advances in his son's data mining techniques to summarize and synthesize the overall global discourse on climate change each day, the Carbon Capture Report delivers a daily briefing of sorts on the debate – to and from both sides.
"We don't advocate or promote any specific viewpoint, or filter, censor, prioritize, de-emphasize or otherwise alter the information we find," he stressed. "Our focus isn't to try to 'correct' or 'advertise' for any specific view; we just report on what's resonating with the public at that moment and what the latest developments are."
As an example, he gives the case of a new wind turbine field: It might, he says, "generate both criticism and praise from different groups," but his goal is to simply report on how the news and social media overall are reporting on the project.
"Are people within a specific geographic location promoting wind turbines as a positive new energy source," he asks, "or are they against them due to concerns about noise or impact on local bird populations?"
When asked which side was gaining traction, he was, as usual, diplomatic.
"When you look across the global spectrum that we monitor, you see both of those stances well-represented in the data."
There was, though, a noticeable shift, he says, in the aftermath of what came to be known as "Climategate."
"Obviously Climategate brought to the forefront the fact that scientists have been doing a very poor job of communicating their work to the public," he said. "Most of the underlying data has been a black box and most of the field's output has been scientific publications in academic journals."
The "Climategate" scandal involved hundreds of e-mails that were hacked from the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit in 1989. Some global change deniers concluded the e-mails proved that scientists had systematically skewed evidence to support claims of climate upheaval.
"We won, you lost. Get a life," said U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., who once famously said that climate change was "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people."
Meanwhile, a U.K. House of Commons Science Assessment Panel, while concluding that researchers should have been more careful in their techniques, found nothing sinister in the e-mails, and said "On the specific allegations made against the behavior of CRU scientists, we find that their rigor and honesty as scientists are not in doubt … We did not find any evidence of behavior that might undermine the conclusions of the IPCC assessments."
Nevertheless, according to the stories Leetaru tracked, more stories appeared questioning the actual environmental data.
"A lot of the underlying data showing a rise in global temperatures," Leetaru says, "were called into question by poor scientific practices. So, at least in the media sphere, there is a lot more discussion these days about whether global temperatures are actually rising.
"For climate scientists, this means greater transparency in the data they use, more concrete quantifications and forecasts of what will happen if it is not addressed, and helping the public become more engaged in the discussion," he said. "In fact, you're seeing a lot more use of the term 'climate change' in place of 'global warming' to take into account that some regions are actually getting colder in recent years."
Leetaru refuses to get into the debate, but does indicate the public relations efforts on both sides are often misguided.
"Really, from what we see through all of the data we collect, there needs to be much better communication between climate scientists and the public and policymakers," he said. "Right now the focus has really been on generating new data and publications for fellow scientists, while very little outreach has been done to the public.
"Whether we like it or not," he added, "we live in the public spotlight, unlike most other fields, and we need to heed this and do a much better job."
