In the frozen wastes of Siberia, a silver artifact is stolen from a dead man . . . In the Middle East, the carefully planned strike on a terrorist leader goes disastrously wrong . . . Two seemingly unrelated incidents have placed the former CIA covert operative-turned-freelance spy, code-named Scorpion, in a desperate position: joining forces with a beautiful woman to prevent the assassination of a powerful Ukrainian politician.
But treachery breeds terror in the long shadow of a dangerous Russia, as Scorpion finds himself caught in a lethal trap sprung by an unknown enemyperhaps someone on his own side of the game. And now time is ticking rapidly away with the whole world balancing on a knife's edge, just days from the opening salvos of a catastrophic war that could leave the earth itself in ruins.

GOP platform criticizes administration's defense, cyber strategies
Wednesday - 8/29/2012, 5:58pm EDT
The Republican Party platform criticizes President Barack Obama for not doing enough to avert automatic budget cuts set to hit the Defense Department in January.
The platform, which was unveiled Tuesday, also calls for greater public-private collaboration on cybersecurity and recommends an overhaul of the Veterans Affairs Department.
Defense budget
The platform decries the automatic budget cuts, known as sequestration, set to take effect in January. The cuts are a vestige of last summer's Budget Control Act, which ended the debt-ceiling standoff, along with the failure of a special congressional panel to agree on a deficit-reduction plan.
The cuts would harm the military, "accelerate the decline" of the defense industry and could result in as many as 1 million jobs lost, according to the platform.
The platform notes opposition to the cuts runs across party lines, the platform states, but says Obama hasn't done enough to stop them.
The House passed a bill in May that would replace the cuts with an alternative package of cuts, including a measure requiring federal employees to contribute 5 percent more toward their retirement, to be phased in over five years. However, Obama threatened to veto the bill, which still hasn't garnered a vote in the Senate, saying it relied too much on spending cuts that would weaken "critical domestic priorities."
The platform largely criticizes the White House's efforts in cybersecurity, in part, for being too reliant only on the development of defensive capabilities.
The platform also called for "an immediate update of the law that was drafted a decade ago to improve the security of government information systems," ostensibly a reference to the 2002 Federal Information Security Management Act.
The House approved an update to FISMA this spring and a comprehensive cybersecurity bill debated in the Senate, also included an update to the law. But since the Senate bill failed to garner enough support to move forward for a vote, observers remain pessimistic that Congress will approve any cyber legislation this term.
Overall, the platform stressed the theme of the government and the private sector working collaboratively, denouncing what it called the "heavy-handed regulatory approach" taken by the Obama administration in the cyber realm.
"The government collects valuable information about potential threats that can and should be shared with private entities without compromising national security," the platform states. "We believe that companies should be free from legal and regulatory barriers that prevent or deter them from voluntarily sharing cyberthreat information with their government partners."
VA overhaul
The platform committee is also eyeing an overhaul of the Veterans Affairs Department, responsible for providing health care and other benefits to returning service members.
The platform calls for a "fundamental change" to VA's structure, including turning the department's regional directors — now career employees — into direct presidential appointees.
VA's various branches "must be made more responsive, moving from an adversarial to an advocacy relationship with veterans," the platform states.
GOP platform takes aim at federal workforce

Yao Ming and Tim Duncan for starters. Anybody who thinks just b/c Shaq is in Miami that we don't need a C and PF is crazy. Second of all We don't need and another injury-prone star on this team .Think if VC and BD are hurt at the same time (very likely) and we have no big men then we'd go in a tailspin again. Nothing against Carter but I don't want him for 3 reasonsOriginally posted by 5O4Hornet
I don't know what the infactuation about Magloire!?!? We would have Vince Carter, Jalen Rose, and Baron Davis!!! 3 athletes who can score the ball and you're worrying about Jamaal Magloire, who wont be anything special going into the west? The biggest center is in the East now, so who could you worry about at center? Nobody! The Hornets would be insane to lose out on this deal becasue of Jmaal Magloire!
1)this Baron Davis' team
2)this trade will stump the growth of are draft picks JR Smith, who is being called the next VC anyway and could be ROY this year.
3) Too many big ego guys on a team would be bad for Coach Scott, he needs character guys to help him in the locker room. look@ Jersey with J-Kidd and K-Mart. Big name guys can make a coach's life hell.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is among those who believe a player strike could be the only way to force the IRB to a global playing international season.
Hansen told the media that tradition was influencing boardroom decisions when the welfare of the elite athletes should be at the core of the decisions around getting a better international rugby product and also restricting the demands on international players.
'At the moment when it comes to the global season too many decisions are made around tradition rather than what is right for the athletes,' said Hansen.
The New Zealand players are dissatisfied with the current Super Rugby and Test rugby schedules. They are also anti the amount of Tests the All Blacks play each year, which last year was 14. Their best players start training in January and finish the season in the first week of December.
South African players feel exactly the same way.
The head of New Zealand's Rugby Players Association says international representative players could take strike action 'as a last resort' to press claims for an integrated international season with fewer matches.
Rob Nichol said the International Rugby Players Association will meet on Australia's Gold Coast during next month's tour by the British and Irish Lions with moves to integrate the northern and southern hemisphere seasons on the agenda.
AAP reported that the IRPA will then raise the issue with the International Rugby Board in July.
All Blacks coach Hansen told New Zealand media on Sunday that a demonstration of player power may be necessary to force the IRB to take steps to reduce demands on top players.
Nichol said the IRPA expects to find a solution before strike action was necessary. An integrated international season would see northern and southern hemisphere competitions coordinated to allow all test matches to be played within the same window. That is not currently possible because Europe's Six Nations competition is played in March and April and is not a suitable time frame for tests in the southern hemisphere.
Nichol said New Zealand players wanted their season to start later, allowing a longer gap between seasons, and has called for the elimination of the break in the Super Rugby season for June test matches.
The players instead want an established 16-week off-season instead of the current eight-week break. He said the integration of the northern and southern seasons would not be possible before 2016 when current broadcasting agreements expire.
'We won't allow the game's administrators to follow amateur traditions that are no longer applicable,' Nichol said. 'That's not only competition structure but also commercial. We have to address it.'

Dr. DeClementi says glow jewelry isn't generally lethal to pets, but cats' tendency to bite into those glow-in-the-dark bracelets and necklaces often leads to panic situations at home. The taste is so bad, cats will drool and race around the house, trying to run away from the terrible taste. If this happens, try to rinse out the cat's mouth, and give it a tasty pet treat to eat to get rid of the bad flavor.

HUMANS ARE FRIGEN IDIOTS and unfortunately their pets pay the cost! You think we make this stuff up because we are bored. No, quite a lot of research, study and trials have gone into this into.
Those in this field, have seen toooo much suffering and heartbreak FROM OWNERS THAT ACTUALLY CARE about their pets, some think of them AS FAMILY MEMBERS! That is why we work so hard to learn what is best, what is harmful, and what is just ok but "not great".
The rest of you punks, do what you want - you will anyway. You think you are bullet proof ... because you didn't get caught in THE ACT ( of feeding what YOU KNOW IS WRONG, speeding, being late to work, sleeping with your wife's BFF, etc). But Karma is a bitch, my friend! And to put it in a lingo you might understand ... THERE AIN'T NO FREE LUNCH, THE BILL WILL COME ONE DAY (and your poor pet's liver will be CRAP after years of abuse). He won't have the strength to fight and he/she WILL die. How sad. Your pet deserves a better owner than YOU.

You have been lucky. So far. In the end, your dogs are the ones who will pay the price, though.
The exact toxin in grapes/raisins is still not known. It is also not know just how many it takes to produce a toxic reaction. The result, however, is acute kidney failure, which may or may not be treatable, depending on the size of the dog and the amount of toxin the dog ingested. It is often fatal.
Avocado contains the toxin PERSIN. This is generally harmless to humans, but can be toxic to cats and dogs because of the differences in their livers. The general symptoms of avocado toxicity are vomiting and diarrhea. It is rarely lethal.
This is well documented. You can live in denial all you want, but when the day comes that you have a pet that has a problem because of them, don't cry "I didn't know." because now you do.
There is absolutely NO GOOD REASON to give your dogs grapes, raisins, and avocado. There are plenty of other foods that are more nutritious and not toxic. Why in the world would you take the chance?
One of my dogs had fever, I was giving tylenol....one vet told me NOT to give dogs (don't know about cats?) but since I had given one or two doses, I figured ~WELL it is OK......then another vet, TOOK the time to EXPLAIN to my stupid self that they cannot "process" it and it builds up in their liver and eventually when getting to toxic level.......WILL KILL THEM!! Take heed.....It may not harm them the first time or the tenth time, BUT at some point.......!August 16 2013 at 8:37 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down
I have an avacado tree in my back yard and my dogs have been eating avacados for 10 years now. Still going strong. From what I understand, or have read once or twice, its the seeds that are bad, but not sure. I have been a vet tech for 12 years and my Dr. does all procedures for his employees for free, so if my pets were to get sick, he takes care of them no charge. Oddly enough, they never get sick and are tough as nails. I'm not arguing its good to give these, but my dogs have no problem. One is 13. No kidney failure. But I have seen it all. I have seen a dog eat a bag of chocolate and not have one side effect, and i have seen a dog eat very little and come in needing I.V. Fluids.

Install new Gator Blades on your Massey Ferguson mowers if you want to see the best mulching results of any blade on the market today. Gator blades work to cut the grass several times before being discharged as mulch, either onto the ground or in the bag. This produces finer grass clippings that can better decompose in your lawn. Make sure you measure your blade to find an exact replacement size.

Bacteria are at constant conflict with one another often competing for the very things humans do, such as territory, resources, and general survival. Wounds offer a battle ground for which many bacteria compete for survival. This talk will focus on applying our current day understanding of bacteria to wounds incurred during the American Civil War. We will review this era's application of "beneficial" bacteria or larger organisms to wounds in hopes to tip the scales in the microbial war. Ultimately the talk will shed light on the American Civil War story of the Angel's glow at the Battle of Shiloh and the confederates ultimate befriending of fly larvae.

With a strong corps of returnees led by an imposing frontline and a demanding off-season workout schedule,
It won't be easy, however.
"It may be hard at first," junior Trent Marshburn said. "But I think we have the chance to step up and show what we can do."
Senior Daniel Page agreed.
"It's a big jump, but I think we'll be all right," he said, adding he and the team are just "confident, not cocky or anything, but confidence. I just feel as long as we stay together and keep working out like we've been working out, we'll be all right."
The Bulldogs, who were 7-19 last year and 4-6 in the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference to earn a spot in the state playoffs, have certainly been working hard this off-season. They've been to three jamborees as well as basketball camps and the East Coast Invitational team camp, which began Thursday at the
It's the first time
"Probably they thought we'd be competitive enough to be invited," Durr added. "We never have been before because, quite frankly, it would probably be a disappointing situation."
On the opening night
Beforehand, Durr said he was "glad" to open against
"If you open up against the best, you know where you've got to take your game," he said. "Believe me, we will analyze this game … from one end of the floor to the other. If I can't learn against
While Durr and the Bulldogs want to win every time they step on the court, the ECI and other off-season games and practices are about far more than winning.
"Most definitely," Page said. "It's … about bonding and coming together as a team. Without being a team, you can't really win."
With 6-8 sophomore Matthew Elmore, the Bulldogs will have an imposing frontline. Elmore averaged 4.0 points and 3.7 rebounds last year as a freshman on the varsity.
Mitchell, who could wind up at shooting guard or splitting time at both backcourt spots, averaged 11.8 points and 2.3 assists along with 3.2 rebounds in 2012-13.
Two other players Durr will be counting on — guard Robbie Wyble and D'Angelo Williams — aren't with the basketball team because of football. Also, Durr likes what he's seen from sophomores Juan Watkins and Dale Terry.
"But it's a long time to the season," Durr added.
Which not only means there's plenty of time for players to earn playing time, but it also means Durr has plenty of time to keep working the Bulldogs hard this off-season for the official opening of practice Oct. 31.
How hard have the Bulldogs worked? How about six days a week in the gym?
"I would say my kids love the game because you couldn't go through what we've gone through this summer and not love the game because frankly if I were a kid and I didn't love the game, I might not have been as eager to play for me," Durr said. "Make no mistake about it, when other people are sitting at home on the couch, we're in the gym."
Marshburn said the team has improved thanks to the off-season work.
"It's different this year," he said. "He's been fast on us, but it's good for us to move. Over the past couple years we'd go home. We were on our own. But now we're coming to school, working as a team. It's going pretty good."
Page seconded that.
"It's helped us a lot," he said. "We don't have everybody yet (because of football), but we're working hard. It definitely helps a lot more than it did in the past."
Durr has also seen improvement. The Bulldogs have been more competitive, losing "by 15, 20 points" against teams that "if you take us back in a time capsule, which I never want to do, we probably wouldn't have been in the ballgame."
The improvement at times might be only incremental, but Durr, who coached a state championship team in the 1980s in upstate
Toward that end, Durr knows moving up to 2-A will be a challenge. So, too, he said will be making sure his team doesn't just rely on its size up front and wind up playing at a slower pace than he wants.
"Our big guys have never played, from middle school on until I came two years ago, a fast-pace tempo. I want to play a fast pace," he said. "Teams that I had, state champs, were fast-pace tempo. You have to play the game quickly, but you also have to play it smart. Right now we're not real quick so we have to be extra-smart.
"By that I mean if we can't create the easy basket every once in a while by a breakaway, we have to make sure we cut down on the other end on the turnovers. It's the balance of the game. … Being tall, we have to fight against being slow.
"But I'm excited. I wish I was younger. I would have loved to come into this job in my 30s and I would love to stay with

Women's Basketball Puts Solid Night Together on Offense and Defense Rolling to 85-57 Home Win over Brevard
November 14, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Led by Brittany Coxs (Winston-Salem, NC) 20 points and Jodie Lemons 16 (Madison, NC), Pfeiffer University rolled to a comfortable 85-57 win over Brevard College in non-conference womens basketball action on Wednesday night. The Lady Falcons shot 44% from the field improving to 2-0 after the home-opening win while the Tornados fall in their 2012-2013 season opener.
Pfeiffer would open the contest on an immediate 14-3 run over the first six minutes Lemons would tally the first five followed by Kellie Rhoney (Catawba, NC) dropping in the final five. A Carter Williams (Harrisonburg, VA) jumper five minutes later would keep it an 11-point, 18-7 advantage for the Lady Falcons before a pair of Cox free throws gave the hosts their largest first half lead at 20-7 with 10:20 to play before the break.
Brevard would trim the lead down to six as Tuccoa Brackett (Marion, NC) and Micheala Watkins (Forest City, NC) contributed to a quick 6-0 run while Shelby Wolfe (Pittsboro, NC) helped keep it a half-dozen deficit with two free throws later at the 3:01 mark. From that point, Pfeiffer would close out the first 20 minutes on a 13-2 run capped off by another Lemons triple with seven seconds showing on the clock.
Cox would pour in 14 of her 20 on the night in the second half starting with a layup 1:38 in later adding a three ball to give Pfeiffer their largest lead of the night at 23, 51-28. The Lady Falcons would continue to cruise in the second half getting up as much as 30, 60-30 on a Goddess Steele (Charlotte, NC) layup at the 12:14 mark, before Brittney Washington (Simpsonville, NC) put the black and gold up a game-high 33 with her fast break layup at the 9:41 mark of the second.
Pfeiffers defense would also play a big role in Wednesday nights win forcing 20 Brevard turnovers and turning them into 32 points. The Lady Falcons would limit the Tornados to 13% shooting from behind the arc after a 23% shooting first half.
Behind Cox and Lemons, Williams would also reach double-figures dropping in 13 for the Lady Falcons while Rhoney concluded with 10. Lemons would come up two boards shy of her second-straight double-double.
Pfeiffer will now move quickly into Conference Carolinas play on Saturday hosting King inside the Merner Gym. Tip time is set for 2:00 p.m. with live stats and video being available courtesy of http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Best SLR Case ever
By Cindy Traveler
from Edmond,OK
I used this camera sling on a trip to Alaska. We traveled by plane (large & small), train and auto. We were in Helicopter and hiked. It was perfect for all. I hardly took it off. It protected my camera on a rough ATV trip through muddy water. And I could pull out my SLR and not miss that great shot. I even had my monopod along when I wanted. Highly recommended.
Perfect bag, unless you're small.
By Juliest
from New Brunswick, Canada
I've used the SLR sling when I'm out and about. It holds all my camera accessories, and even has a little zipped cell phone pocket conveniently located at the bottom of the shoulder strap.I absolutely adore the inset... hammock? that holds my camera securely in place without having to remove my zoom lens. The tripod straps are perfect, as is the idea of a strap to go around the waist so I don't get strangled every time I bend down to examine something. This bag is very sturdy and constructed of quality materials made to last.But there's a down side.As a woman of average height and petite build, I find my shoulder is not broad enough to seat the wide strap of this bag comfortably. This causes the whole bag to sit off-balanced the entire time I wear it, and I'm often chafed at the neck after I've worn it for a short time.If you're a smaller person like me, I do not recommend this bag.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Fantastic Quality & Experience
When I opened my baby announcements in the mail yesterday, I was so surprised and impressed by the quality of the magnets! I honestly was expecting a more flimsy magnet that I've received from other companies in the past. I absolutely love how it came out. And the customer support is top notch! They called me to give me their recommendation to swap out a photo because it didn't look optimal when printed. I appreciated their honestly and it turned out fantastic! I would definitely use MagnetStreet in the future.
I was a little skeptical at first, since the price was so affordable for all that we ordered. When the package came in (which only took about 8 days from when we ordered it) we were sooo pleased with the product. Dont know why, but they actually sent a few more magnets than we ordered. We didn't mind!!! Thank you for the great service. Will definately do business again in the near future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I have to say that these magnet are amazing! I was a little nervous at first but now that they are here I could not be happier. Plus they even sent me the extras which was nice because I was able them to friends I didn't account for.

These white chocolate pencils (110 pencils per box) are created for decorating cakes, in particular wedding cakes. Use around the sides of celebration cakes and wedding cakes or as high quality chocolate decorations for topping cupcakes and desserts.
Whilst similar to chocolate cigarellos in their decorative use, these chocolate pencils have an additional, decorative twist and are also much easier to cut to size to suit the height of your cake. Made from high quality Belgian chocolate.
Due to the fragile nature of this product it is possible the box may contain some minor breakages.
How many chocolate pencils will I need to decorate a cake?
For placing the chocolate pencils vertically around the side of a cake you first need to measure the circumference of the cake or tin in cm's. As each chocolate pencil is around 1cm width you will require double the number. Plus some extra to allow for size variances in the chocolate pencils and any possible breakages.
Cutting the chocolate pencils to size
Using a hot knife, simply cut the chocolate pencils to size before fixing with either buttercream or ganache around the side of your cake.
Chocolate pencils are popular in all types of chocolate decoration and can be used either whole or cut to size for chocolate cupcake toppings, chocolate desserts, ice cream toppings, cappuccino and celebration cakes. As chocolate pencils vary in size the above is for approximate guidance only.

I used the Callebaut brand white chocolate pencils to edge my nieces birthday cake, and used the Callebaut strawberry curls to fill in the topping of the cake.The pencils were longer than I needed, but as the Chocolate Trading Co described, cut easily with a hot knife. The extra bits I used in ice-creams. The cake looked amazing and everyone commented on it.

As details about the impact and devastation of the tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma, continue to emerge, the ASPCA stands ready to assist. We remain in contact with local authorities and are prepared to provide our disaster recovery expertise and support once requested. Like all of you, we grieve with those who have lost loved ones and hope for a speedy recovery.
If you are in an affected area or seeking rescue and recovery resources, please visit the local Red Cross chapter website. Please stay tuned to ASPCA.org for updates.
I had no idea that there was an animal rescue team for the tornado that hit Moore! I would love to see some more pictures of the animals rescued, in order to help them reconnect with their owners. Can you volunteer to serve with the rest of the team?

A hordeolum is a small infection of the glands in the eye, located in the eyelids. The infection causes a red bump on the eyelid that may look like a pimple. This type of infection, also known as a stye, is usually quite painful. There are two types of hordeola:
Hordeola are often easily diagnosed and prompt treatment often prevents progression of the infection. Contact your doctor if you think you may have a hordeolum.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A hordeolum is caused by a blockage in the small glands located along the eyelid margin. These glands produce oil and the blockage prevents normal drainage of the gland. If bacteria are trapped in the gland, an infection can develop, and the development of fluid and pus cause the area to become red and inflamed. In 90%-95% of cases, the resulting infection is caused by the bacteria called
Staphylococcus aureus
(sometimes known as "staph"). It is possible to have more than one hordeolum at a time, and it is common for them to reoccur.
Hordeolum is a common condition, although the exact incidence in the US is not known. Some conditions may increase the risk of developing a hordeolum, these include:
A hordeolum usually begins as a red and swollen area on or in the eyelid. Often, the area is very tender and painful. In addition to the red, painful bump, some other symptoms of hordeola include:
Internal hordeola are usually more painful and are less likely to come to a point without the assistance of a doctor. If you experience redness and painful swelling in the eye, or any change in vision, it is important to contact your eye doctor immediately. These symptoms may be caused by other health conditions as well.
In most cases, a simple eye exam is all that is necessary to confirm the diagnosis of a hordeolum. Other than looking at your eye, special tests are not usually necessary for diagnosis.
Often hordeola resolve spontaneously on their own. In these cases, only hot compresses to assist the drainage are needed. Warm compresses can be applied four to six times a day for several minutes a session. However, if they do not drain on their own, hordeola often respond very quickly to simple treatment from your doctor. It is important to get treatment as soon as possible. If untreated, the infection may continue to grow or lead to other conditions, including
occur when the gland is blocked, but no infection is present. Cellulitis occurs when the infection spreads to the tissue of the eyelid or beyond. This can become a true emergency!
Drainage of the lesion is the first step in treating the hordeolum. If the hordeolum does not drain on its own, your doctor may assist drainage of the infection by lancing the hordeolum. The pus and contents of the swollen area can then be drained. It is important never to try to lance the hordeolum without the assistance of a doctor; permanent damage to the eye or eyelid can occur.
In some cases, antibiotics are also given to ensure that the entire infection is eliminated. Antibiotics may be given in oral form, or as eye drops/eye ointment. In many cases, antibiotics alone are ineffective.
If you are diagnosed with a hordeolum, follow your doctor's
The best prevention against developing a hordeolum is to keep the area around the eye as clean as possible. Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes, and refrain from rubbing your eyes.
Although it may not be possible to prevent the development of every hordeolum, obtaining prompt treatment when one occurs is the best way to prevent future recurrences. It is important that you do not attempt to drain the hordeolum yourself. Any squeezing or poking at the hordeolum may cause more damage. The infection may be spread inadvertently, or damage to the eye could result.
Be sure to call your doctor immediately if:

I use to have an older Bell Helmet with the cheaper head restraint system, it broke thus I bought this upgraded one, it's a huge improvement. The helmet is comfortable, vents well and is a great value. I don't see the need in spending a lot of money on more expensive helmets, this does everything I need it to for a fraction of the price.

Comments about Bell Sequence Helmet 2012:
I really like this helmet, its light, durable and very breathable. When I switched from my old helmet to this one I was able to notice a big difference in increased airflow on hot days.
I also like how adjustable the helmet is as it allows for a really snug fit, plus it can be adjusted via a simple dial which can be changed while riding, no need to stop to make the adjustments.
The helmet also comes in a bunch of cool colors as well, overall great value and very happy with this purchase.
