PLEASE NOTE: CCR has closed its Cuba Travel Project and is no longer operating a hotline. Below please find some general information and links that may be helpful.
Up-to-date Federal Regulations Regarding Travel to Cuba:
We recommend you take a look at the most recent federal regulations regarding Cuba travel. Click here to view an up-to-date version of the regulations: http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?c=ecfr&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title31/31cfr515_main_02.tpl
History of CCR's Cuba Travel Project:
The Center for Constitutional Rights has consistently criticized the prohibition of travel to Cuba as an irrational policy that violates international law, infringes unjustifiably on the rights of Americans, and injures both Cubans and Americans alike. Since 1997, CCR has worked to rescind the travel restrictions enforced as part of the embargo and has represented over 425 individuals accused of violating the travel ban. These individuals were subjected to unconstitutional, Kafkaesque investigations and prosecutions that resulted in hefty fines, particularly following the tightening of travel restrictions under Bush administration regulations passed in 2004.
This information is taken from CCR's 2009 publication, "Know Before You Go."
Before and During Your Re-entry
The law requires that you be honest when you are required to provide information, but also allows you to assert your right not to provide information when you can. You should consult an attorney in advance of traveling to decide what questions you should answer and what questions you should refuse to answer.
Customs officials are legally authorized to question and search travelers prior to departure from the U.S.
If you are questioned, do not volunteer any information and, above all, do not lie. It is a federal crime (under 18 U.S.C. § 1001) to make a false or fraudulent statement to a government agent. However, you do not have to volunteer any information either. Should officials try to seize anything of yours at this point, you should object strenuously, demand a receipt that fully describes the item seized, and contact legal counsel as soon as possible.
Returning from Cuba
It is never too soon to start focusing on your return and re-entry meeting with U.S. Customs and Immigration agents. Whether or not you are traveling legally, you may be questioned, searched, harassed, temporarily detained (possibly missing a connecting flight), or threatened, but you will almost certainly be let go, unless you are suspected of a crime other than an embargo violation. Your legally (or illegally) obtained goods or materials may or may not be seized from you. Or you may simply be told "Welcome to the United States and have a nice day."
In light of your rights and obligations, there are specific things you should know in anticipation of re-entry. They are:
Authorities are entitled to ask the questions listed below, to search your luggage and your person, and to seize contraband. If you are subjected to a body search (other than the content of your pockets), or if agents seek to seize anything from you, you may politely but firmly object and ask to speak to your lawyer. You may also demand a list of anything seized and can refuse to sign any form that gives agents your permission to take the items.
The standard questions by customs inspectors are:
After Your Return
You have successfully navigated the re-entry process. As the pleasant memories of your trip begin to fade, you might receive a letter from OFAC, entitled "Requirement to Furnish Information" or "Administrative Subpoena" suggesting that you have violated the embargo, and that you are "required" to answer certain questions within a short period of time (usually 20 business days). Individuals generally have a right to refuse to answer these questions by asserting Fifth Amendment privilege. At this point, you should consult an attorney who knows the Cuba travel regulations and is familiar with OFAC procedures. Because of the short deadlines for response, you should contact an attorney immediately upon receiving any notices from OFAC.
Many individuals in previous years have received an "Offer of Expedited Penalty Settlement" offering to resolve the matter without further proceedings in exchange for a payment to OFAC. Such letters have sometimes preceded even the "Requirement to Furnish Information"/"Administrative Subpoena" which formerly was almost always the first notice a returning traveler received. You should consult an attorney if you receive such a letter.
One of two things will happen next. You may never hear from OFAC again. (This probably means they did not have tangible evidence of an embargo violation and were hoping you would provide it to them by answering their questions.) Otherwise, you (or your attorney) will get a second letter, a "Pre-Penalty Notice," from OFAC. You should consult with an attorney before responding to the Pre-Penalty Notice. After responding to the Pre-Penalty Notice, you or your attorney may receive a "Penalty Notice." It is extremely important that you respond to the Penalty Notice in the time frame allowed and with the right language. Otherwise, you may forfeit your right to contest the charges and also lose any leverage you have to negotiate a favorable settlement. Do not be nervous about these threatening letters, but do consult with counsel. An attorney is almost indispensable at this point and beyond.
Many individuals change addresses between their return to the United States and the time OFAC sends out the above notices (which can often happen months or years after the date of travel). OFAC generally will send all notices to the last address they have on file for you. If you have moved, they will generally not bother to track you down, and if you do not pick up a certified letter, they will not always make further attempts to get the letter to you; rather, they generally will simply claim that you have forfeited any rights to a hearing and other procedural protections because you did not respond to the notices you never received. If you do change addresses following a trip to Cuba, consult an attorney about what steps you might want to take to deal with these potential problems.
This is not a complete discussion of the applicable laws and regulations. It does not cover all possible questions, concerns and contingencies. Since laws, regulations, and their interpretation often change, this information may be outdated by the time you read it. The Center does not guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in this booklet as of any point in time.
Make sure to consult an attorney before planning any trip to Cuba. Do not rely on these materials without first seeking the advice of an attorney about your particular situation and facts. Only a licensed attorney, reviewing your individual facts, may render legal advice.
PLEASE NOTE: The Center for Constitutional Rights no longer accepts Cuba travel clients for direct representation.

Absolut, "silverpoint", Punchdrunk, Somethin' Else
Rating: 5.0
By Matthew Chapman, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 05 March 2013 08:00AM
Concerns have been expressed by agencies over the handling of the process that industry sources claim was led by a procurement team that knew 'literally nothing' about advertising.
It is understood government marketers were involved in the early stages of the process, but the final decisions were made by the GPS.
Agencies that were appointed to the roster were notified last week with a number of long-standing government agencies missing the cut.
Notable exceptions include Mother, the agency behind the GREAT and Frank campaigns, Leo Burnett, which creates the Think drink driving work, and Dare, which scooped the anti-smoking account in September.
OgilvyOne, which won a pitch for the direct and digital account for the Department of Health last year, missed out on the direct roster.
A source said there has been 'a lot of arguments and shouting' between the government procurement team and marketers when the GPS revealed the agencies it had chosen for inclusion on the roster.
The 'ruptures' allegedly resulted in some agencies making it back on the roster to 'keep the peace'.
An agency executive claims the GPS may have managed to 'save a few quid' but question whether the new roster is best placed to help 'save the lives they need to save, get people to reduce their weight and stop smoking'.
Paul Bainsfair, director general of the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising, says the industry body is still in talks with the Cabinet Office in order to get the best outcome for the 'public as a whole' and adds the IPA believes 'complicated' procurement practices 'are not designed with advertising businesses in mind'.

He don't mind, he know we'll never respect, the good kid, m.A.A.d. city
from Kendrick Lamar – good kid Lyrics on Genius
The police will never respect the good kids in Compton trying to find their way out, because for them everybody in Compton must be affiliated to a gang.
At least the gang members in the first verse might end up respecting Kendrick after he proves himself, but the police will always see him as a black thug.

Educators Split on Advisory Councils Some Welcome Input, Others See Interference
Article excerpt
ATLANTA -- It will be like having a back-seat driver in every school in Georgia, looking over the board of education's shoulder and offering advice on which way to turn or how fast to go.
By October 2003, each public school in the state has to install a seven-person advisory council in accordance with Gov. Roy Barnes' education reform package, which the legislature approved this year.
That's nearly 11,000 volunteers who can offer recommendations on nearly everything the school does -- from hiring a principal, to setting a budget, to buying textbooks.
Opponents of the school councils have said the councils could be bureaucratic monsters that steal power from elected school boards. But after some initial trepidation, many school officials are warming to the idea.
"I see the councils as folks in our school -- parents, business people, teachers -- all working together," said Thomasville High School Principal Tim Helms. "I'm a firm believer that seven or eight heads are better than one."
Many schools already have something similar to school councils. Thomasville has Positive Parents, for example, and DeKalb County has School-Community Action Teams in about 50 of its schools.
But the governor's school councils are different. They have strict rules for electing members. They must create bylaws. And they have to make sure all council meetings are open to the public.
Perhaps even more significantly, the local board of education is required by law to consider any recommendations from the council. School board members can accept or reject the advice, but they have to listen and respond.
Those rigid, legal requirements are what make school councils a bad idea, said state school Superintendent Linda Schrenko, who opposed the governor's proposal.
"When you have up to 150 councils in some of the larger school districts, [school boards] could literally be meeting day and night, trying to overturn the hundreds of decisions that could be made by these councils," Schrenko said.
Communities need to be involved in schools, but there's no point in creating formal school councils when most schools already have informal committees up and running, Schrenko said.
"All this rigidity . . . goes beyond what the state needs to do," she said.
But many educators and administrators, eager to have parents and business leaders get involved in their schools, are willing to put up with the extra work and legal requirements.
"We're always interested in having more parental involvement," said Chip Sellers, vice chairman of the school board in Dalton. "I personally don't look at this as a threat."
In its initial stages, some school board members around the state were worried the councils would become rival boards of education, said Jerry Plowden, vice chairman of the Dougherty County Board of Education in Albany. …

Have a happy new year, HBT Nation
Dec 31, 2010, 4:27 PM EDT
The wife and I are taking the kids to a party soon. Really: a kid-friendly New Year's Eve party with a couple other families. It runs from 6PM to 9PM and all the kids blow their noisemakers at 9. I know it sounds lame to a lot of you, but we'll still have fun. I mean, that pic to the right was taken ten minutes ago as Mrs. C. and I got ready, so things are going great already.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you all for a great 2010 at HardballTalk. This has easily been the best year of my professional life, and it obviously wouldn't have been possible if you guys didn't come-a-clickin' every day.
Be safe tonight. See you in 2011.
- sportsdrenched - Dec 31, 2010 at 5:09 PM
You too Craig.
I'm not sure when the site was launched, but I've been reading since August or September. I was looking for a baseball site similar to PFT, and boom! This place shows up.
I click on here several times a day, and it's already made the off-season move faster than most off-seasons. Now 2011 can officially be "This Season"
- mgflolox - Dec 31, 2010 at 7:17 PM
Sounds like fun, Craig. We're doing Disney Channel's New Year's Eve with the kids. Woo Hoo!! Rock On!!
Have a safe and fantastic New Year.

Happy New Year, Craig — we do the family new years' parties, too — they're awesome. Have fun, be safe, and thanks for a great year of baseball writing (and snark).
- Jonny 5 - Dec 31, 2010 at 7:52 PM
I wish the best new year to all the HBT crew,readers, and their families. Here's to yet another year of the best sport ever created!! Cheers!! Where's that Bass Ale at now?

"Be safe tonight."
Certainly, Craig.
I'm being safe with my pitcher of rum.
- Ari Collins - Dec 31, 2010 at 11:13 PM
I gotta say, a good resolution for me would be to comment less. But Happy New Year to Craig, Drew, Aaron, Bob, anyone else I might have missed, and my fellow readers.

Happy New Year Craig, thanks for a great season & off-season.

Not so loud guys. It's 11:05 here on the West Coast, Jan 1. My ears are ringing, my head hurts, my stomach is doing backflips. I just got up. Did I have a good time last night? I don't remember.
But happy New Year to the whole HBT community. Only 6 weeks until pitchers and catchers report.

FreeBSD x64 NVIDIA DRIVER - now possible

Re: FreeBSD x64 NVIDIA DRIVER - now possible
The problem is, on my Via kt800 board I even can't get the i386 driver to work. Yes, I'm running i386 (RELASE 6.0) on an amd64 because then I can run openoffice 2 and (well, at least I hoped) the nvidia-driver. But, if I try to enable the nvidia-driver I get this dreaded message:
NVRM: AGP cannot be enabled on this combination of the AMD CPU and OS kernel
NVRM: kernel upgrade recommended.
Really, I'm not thinking running amd64 would double my system's speed, but playing a dvd with a cpu-usage of around 50% on an amd 3500+ (venice core) is a bit stupid isn't it? And no, this has got nothing todo with dma-settings, because it doesn't matter if I run it off dvd or harddisk or just a big mpeg2-file I made of a television-recording. Even playing xvid's makes it running at 50%.
Whe I'm playing a dvd on my multimedia-computer it uses about 10% cpu. This computer is based on a Sempron 2400+ and is running gentoo linux because FreeBSD doesn't support my tv-card. So it's really annoying having it using 50% cpu on your amd64, that's what the problem really is.

Buried treasure
Underground vault has rich history, from top-secret Cold War role to low-profile present-day function
OAK RIDGE - In a town where nuclear history is always on display, Katy's Kitchen is a rare find.
You won't find it in tour guides of the Atomic City, and it's not available for public visits. But that only adds to the allure of this oddly named - and uniquely Oak Ridge - site.
Today the facility is part of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's environmental sciences program, a staging ground for eco-experiments and home to an enormous collection of bugs and other small creatures. However, for about a year following World War II, it was the government's secret hiding place for enriched uranium.
Even though the big war was won, the Cold War was just beginning. Oak Ridge's newly revealed role in producing U-235 had brought new attention and new security concerns. Additional arrangements were needed to protect the A-bomb commodities in East Tennessee.
In 1947, at a clandestine site midway between the Y-12 and X-10 production plants, top-secret work began on a heavily fortified bunker. Installation Dog, as the project was code-named, was designed for deception.
"The whole idea was to make it look like it was an abandoned barn," Luther Agee, an employee of the Atomic Energy Commission who designed the secret facility, said in a 1984 interview. Agee died in 2001.
A weathered-wood structure concealed the entrance to an underground vault, which had massive concrete walls reinforced with steel plates. Swinging doors and an extended roof allowed delivery vehicles to come and go without fanfare, and a "silo" was built next door as a guard tower. Armed protectors were on duty around the clock, stationed at the top of the silo behind bulletproof glass.
Electricity was surreptitiously provided to the site by stringing power lines from tree to tree. Alarms were placed in the woods to trap would-be spies, but the system occasionally proved too sensitive. Forest varmints, not realizing their old home was now off-limits, sometimes tripped the sensors, sending chills down the backs of security guards.
Agee, a 26-year-old draftsman at the time, was never sure why he got tapped for the project. Once he realized the top-secret nature of the work, it made him a nervous wreck.
"I was scared to death until they built it," he said. "But, you know, they built it and didn't have any trouble at all. I think I got one call to come out … and look at it. They were having a problem because there was so much reinforcing steel in that vault that they were having trouble getting the concrete in, too."
For about a year, from May 1948 to May 1949, Installation Dog housed the U-235 extracted from processes at the Oak Ridge K-25 plant before the material was shipped west to Los Alamos, N.M., for bomb-making. During that period, Agee and others with knowledge of the project had to take regular polygraph tests to make sure the secret was still a secret.
Even after the mission was moved elsewhere, the site was kept under wraps for several years in case it was needed again.
From A-bombs to creepy-crawlies
In the 1950s, the bunker became a part of ORNL's analytical chemistry group, which used the storage vault for studies of low-level radioactive materials. Because of the vault's room-in-a-room design, with massive concrete walls, the radiation measurements were largely free of interference from atomic fallout or nuclear sources at the laboratory.
During this period, the facility became known as Katy's Kitchen - a reference to Kathryn Odom, the division's secretary, who made regular visits to the work site and sometimes shared lunch with the chemists and other staff members.
Environmental scientists took over the facility in the 1970s. The old vault is now jam-packed with thousands of containers of waterborne critters, everything from crayfish to tiny aquatic insects, taken from streams on the federal reservation. It's part of a sampling program that documents DOE's compliance - or, in some cases, noncompliance - with discharge permits at the nuclear facilities and evaluates water-quality improvements.
There are groups of samples for every year since 1983. John Smith, a lab biologist who heads the sampling program, said decreasing levels of contamination found in the aquatic life can be used to validate the results of various cleanup programs that have taken place in Oak Ridge.
"If somebody has a question about something, I could find it. But it might take me awhile," Smith said as he showed visitors the crowded storage vault. Outside of emergency personnel, Smith has the only key to the facility (its enormous bank-vault door with combination lock was removed in the early 1990s).
Some samples are labeled "radioactive" because of nuclear pollutants, and they're all preserved in alcohol. The reinforced vault is one of the few places in Oak Ridge where so many vials of flammable liquid could be safely stored in the same location. The secure facility also allows the lab to meet the chain-of-custody requirements for the compliance samples.
The site today doesn't look much like it did 60 years ago.
The dirt path leading to the remote location is now a blacktop road. The barn facade was removed long ago, and a prefab metal building of fairly recent vintage has been attached to the original vault structure. The security silo is intact, although its wooden staves are gone. The only guards are the swarms of bees that now occupy this enduring piece of Oak Ridge history.

Steve Carell To Play NJ Gay Rights Activist In 'Freeheld' Alongside Ellen Page, Julianne Moore
The long-gestating narrative film adaptation of Freeheld, originally an Oscar-winning short documentary from Cynthia Wade, has added a new star to its cast according to Entertainment Weekly. Steve Carell has now replaced Zach Galifianakis in the role of Steven Goldstein, founder of Garden State Equality and an important ally to protagonist Laurel Hester who attempted to amend New Jersey's domestic partnership act to provide pension benefits for her partner.
The film also stars Julianne Moore and Ellen Page, who was attached prior to her public coming out.
Freeheld does not yet have a release date.
I love Steve Carell. He seems to be able to do no wrong.

|Antecedent hydrogen sulfide elicits an anti-inflammatory phenotype in postischemic murine small intestine
|Yusof, Mozow, 1976-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Ischemia followed by reperfusion (I/R) is now well-recognized as one form of acute inflammation in which leukocytes play a key role. Preconditioning is a phenomenon through which antecedent exposure to a particular stimulus confers protection against a subsequent prolonged ischemic event. The development of a protected phenotype occurs in response to a diverse array of preconditioning stimuli; each of these preconditioning stimuli appears to promote the production of the gaseous monoxide, nitric oxide (NO), as an initial triggering event in the acquisition of tolerance to I/R. Recent work has shown that NO acts as an endogenous regulator of a second gaseous signaling molecule with vasorelaxant properties, hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). Similar to NO, H₂S has the ability to fulfill a physiologic role in regulating cardiovascular function, distinct from its toxicologic effect. This dissertation shows that H₂S inhibits inflammation after I/R injury, through four separate, yet not necessarily distinct, mechanisms. The aims of this dissertation addressed the hypothesis that H₂S elicits a preconditioning stimulus and protects against I/R injury through an eNOS-/p38 MAPK-/K channel-/HO-1 dependent mechanism.

NBA referees to meet Wednesday
Updated: September 16, 2009, 10:02 AM ETBy Chris Sheridan | ESPN.com
With labor talks at a stalemate, the lead negotiator for NBA referees struck a conciliatory yet defiant tone Tuesday regarding commissioner David Stern on the eve of a crucial meeting in Chicago of the 57 NBA officials facing the prospect of a lockout.
The NBA's labor agreement with the referees' union expired Sept. 1, and no new talks have been scheduled since Stern angrily and abruptly ended a formal bargaining session last Tuesday. Referees are scheduled to attend their annual ...

I know he's working out and he's getting ready for the next challenge." Though he wasn't able to display his entire game in Portland, Gasol said Claver can make an impact in the NBA if given time to play. "I see how gifted he is," Gasol said. "For many European guys, he pretty strong and runs the floor real well. CSNNW.com
"He needed a change from [Portland]" Gasol said. "I don't think he expected to get waived from Denver, but that's part of the game." Claver played in 80 games for the Blazers, most of which coming in 2012-13 season when he played 49 games, starting 16. He averaged 3.2 points and 2.2 rebounds with the Blazers, but following his rookie season, the 26-year-old never got a regular role in Terry Stott's rotation. At that dinner Saturday night, Gasol gave Claver some more advice: continue to "go for it." CSNNW.com
The Denver Nuggets have waived forwards Victor Claver and Thomas Robinson, General Manager and Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly announced today.

Victor Claver's camp is now gauging interest in the services of the Spanish forward around the NBA in case the Denver Nuggets end up waiving him, HoopsHype has learned. "The priority would be to find a new NBA deal even if it has to be a 10-day contract," one source told HoopsHype. "That would not be a problem, especially considering it may be too late for a deal in the Euroleague a this point." HoopsHype
Victor Claver is seeking a buyout in Denver. Playing in the NBA is still very much a part of Claver's plans. Marca.com

Downey resident Kelly Navarro, credited with saving the life of a stranger who had gone into shock after an allergic reaction, was honored at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
Navarro was driving near Lakewood Boulevard and Gallatin Road on Jan. 17 when she spotted a woman sprawled on the sidewalk, waving for help.
Dozens of cars drove by without stopping, but Navarro parked to check on the woman, who was going into anaphylactic shock due to an allergic reaction.
Navarro called 911 and comforted the woman until paramedics arrived.
Doctors who treated the woman said she likely would have died if treatment was delayed only a few minutes longer.
For her efforts, Navarro was presented the Diakonia Award by Mayor Mario Guerra. The award recognizes residents who perform random acts of kindness and go out of their way to improve the community.
"Ms. Navarro's actions are truly remarkable and worth recognizing," Guerra said. "She went out of her way to help someone who she knew nothing about and her quick action undoubtedly saved the person's life.
"I want to sincerely thank her for her willingness to help others."

Even millionaire athletes have trouble finding love. Former NFL player and current sports analyst, Marcellus Wiley will be featured on season 5 of The Millionaire Matchmaker. Marcellus is a few months out of a two-year relationship and is looking for someone that gives him a bit of a challenge.It's interesting that he comes out of the gate with rapid fire questions of the women. He has a preconceived notion about the women he meets, probably because he pursued the "wrong type" during his playing days. After years of excess, athletes always seem to come back to wanting someone to stand up to them. A "challenge." Chess not Checkers ladies.

Martin Beck Matustik
"A book of this nature is long overdue." —Martin Beck Matustik, Purdue University
Recent discussions in the philosophy of religion, ethics, and personal political philosophy have been deeply marked by the influence of two philosophers who are often thought to be in opposition to each other, Søren Kierkegaard and Emmanuel Levinas. Devoted expressly to the relationship between Levinas and Kierkegaard, this volume sets forth a more rigorous comparison and sustained engagement between them. Established and newer scholars representing varied philosophical traditions bring these two thinkers into dialogue in 12 sparkling essays. They consider similarities and differences in how each elaborated a unique philosophy of religion, and they present themes such as time, obligation, love, politics, God, transcendence, and subjectivity. This conversation between neighbors is certain to inspire further inquiry and ignite philosophical debate.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN: In this week's edition of the Green & White Show with Joseph Haas & Jinx Grand, your hosts start the show with What Jets Said. The focus of the segment was Geno Smith, and the continued criticism he's received from the media. Is he ready to be a starting QB in the NFL… in New York City? Should Geno Smith start right away, or would he benefit from time on the sideline watching and learning? We know he's a talent, but can Geno run the west coast offense? Rookie mini camps are underway and we get our first look at #7. We discuss Geno's chances at winning the starting job, as well as what the team should do with Mark Sanchez.
In Rumors, Rosters & the Rest, we discuss whether it really is a five-man QB competition like GM John Idzik asserted. We also analyze the new-look linebacking core for the New York Jets. Demario Davis's move to inside linebacker dominates or discussion of the roster. The Jets were one of the worst tackling teams in football last season; a younger, faster Davis should help solidify that area of the defense. We touch on the move of Quinton Coples from DE to OLB, and the additions of Dee Milliner & Dawan Landry to the secondary. Can Sheldon Richardson help Mo Wilkerson bring "effective pressure" on opposing passers? We wrap the segment by comparing the Jets to the rest of the AFC East.
In the Great Debate, your hosts discuss a topic that seems taboo in the NFL, PEDs! After a Boston Globe article implying Red Sox slugger David Ortiz's hot start with zero spring training smells of PED use, Ortiz was forced to respond. We bring the conversation of PED usage to the NFL. Why is it never an issue in the sport? Is it testing? Are players really not using… or just not getting caught? We have a healthy debate on the topic.
In conclusion, we mourn the loss of WR George Sauer Jr., and detail his impact on the greatest game in New York Jets history. George Sauer Jr. dead at 69.

The Green & White Show is a part of the Fan vs. Fan Radio Network.

Tap and shoot the bubbles to make them explode in combos
Bubble Maniac is a popular bubble shooting game with more than 200 levels so you can play it for a very long time.
There are two modes: classic, in which you can explode the bubbles by making combinations of three of the same color and Advanced mode, which is the same but including fire ball, bomb ball, wild color ball, iron ball and so on.
Besides the extra ball features, the game still is extremely similar to other classic bubble shooting apps. The one things that's probably better is the design and graphics, which are pretty worked and enhanced.
Reverie is the developer of Bubble Maniac and other popular casual games such as Moon Chaser. If you enjoy bubble shooting games you're probably going to like this one, even though it has nothing special. Good game, entertaining and simple but with increasing difficulty.
# In classic mode, you can shoot balls to make combination of 3 the same color to clear balls.
# In advanced mode, the game rule is the same, but you can shoot many item balls which have super power - fire ball, bomb ball, wild color ball, iron ball, etc.
Enjoy shooting bubbles!

Now after every level a new video commercial plays. This screws up the music I'm playing. Deleted the game. Congrats
I don'y know why, i give this game 5 stars, may be i just day dreaming
I've been playing this game so long that I've beaten it at least 10 times. On both modes. I've been waiting forever for some more levels. We've been at 320 forever.

Both Vordb and Wlad are well-known figures from Les Légions Noires, mainly from black metal acts such as Belkètre, Torgeist, Vlad Tepes and Brenoritvrezorkre, or, in Vordb's case, from the dark ambient act Moëvöt. Some of the best works by Les Légions Noires have been brought forth by these projects, and despite the many attempts, none has ever succeeded in redoing what the Legions did in their best days. So, perhaps, despite the infamous quality of LLN dark ambient, we might have good reasons to expect something worthy here; a new musical perspective on man's darkest emotions.
Heh, or not. A horribly sounding violin plays a key role in this disaster. The first 15 or 16 seconds of silence are definitely the best there is to this demo. After the first note on the aforementioned instrument, which can be so beautiful, it is overly clear that this is really bad. I'm convinced this lad never had a violin in his hands before and that's probably the reason why they used it. It screeches its way to the end of the track, while the rest of the soundscape is filled up by the monotonous, usual wailing and, towards the end, screaming. This vocal work resembles Moëvöt and Aäkon Këëtrëh, but than twice as bad.
This no doubt represents the other side of the Légions, which is formed by laughable failures. This is probably even worse than Vagézaryavtre, which is also a laughable attempt to… yeah, to what actually? I seriously doubt these guys took themselves seriously when working on projects like these. Considering the fact they've done so much better in the aforementioned black metal/ dark ambient bands, they should know like none else that this is absolutely nothing.
For clarity's sake, I have to say I'm pretty open-minded and don't necessarily dislike music for bad quality and I think that sometimes what is considered to be bad musicianship, could actually improve the atmosphere. For example, Aäkon Këëtrëh never tuned a guitar, didn't play in sync at all and worked with extremely dissonant intervals. Yet, it didn't break the music down but improved the atmosphere, simply because it's an even better way of representing what the music is about.
Unfortunately for us, Vzaeurvbtre has crossed the line. Several lines, several times. This no longer is about representing anything in a musical way, or expressing wretched emotions by wretched sounds, this is just laughable. It might be so that this music is as horrid and negative as the subjects it probably relates to, but that's no excuse for complete disaster; it still requires skill to translate emotions or thoughts to music properly, and that's what this demo lacks. Avoid this like the plague; you better use your time checking out Aäkon Këëtrëh and/ or Moëvöt if you're looking for more qualitative Légions ambient.
In the title of this review I gave my description of this album. The only adjective which I do not think as being completely adequate is the first one, since this album is much more focused on the comical side, despite the members having "exorcized" their tragical feelings.
The music? Very easy to describe it. If you haven't seen that episode from Tom and Jerry, I'll tell you what we are talking about: Tom tries to make playback at a concert by putting a tape into his violin, then Jerry comes along and fucks around with Tom's tape and Tom gets his ass kicked for the horrendous noise that the tape produced. I do not know which member of the band played Tom's role and who played Jerry's role, although I believe them to having played both roles, but the result... the result... (tape fucked)... the result...
...Is a pretentious mini slice of "dark ambient", resulted from two sick minds, joined by two "tortured" moaning machines (Sylvia Saint wouldn't handle it better) and two grandiloquent violins (yuck!). The recording kicks in with the usual LLN buttplug mastersound, meaningly lo-fi noise, then the fucking violin begins to scratch my ears. Man, does it sound dumb as fuck! The chords that should have been depressive and emotional are hilarious and played rookie-style all the time. Some kind of violin leads are pulled out, but all that they do is increasing the hallucinatory laughter, screeching and completely worthless. Call it avantgarde if you want, kvltsters... The vocals blooooow all across the universe, consisting of some quiet moans and occasionally some snorts (deh, LLN tried to save some of their reputation with those). There might be some guitars involved, but I'd rather not know, other wise I get pissed off and give them a "null" rating.
What was the reason to give this shitty rating? Everything. What was the reason to give such a big nice point? Everything, because I had a pleasant time laughing my ass off. Anyone that is being curious about hearing the Brown Legions (see "Boreb" for that) get this right now!

Joint Modeling of Longitudinal Data and Time-to-Event (Survival) Data
Researchers are interested in two primary responses in the analysis of longitudinal data: longitudinal process response and time-to-event response. It is challenging to model these two responses jointly due to the censoring of the time-to-event response. Methodology Center researchers have developed new statistical procedures for joint modeling and applied them to empirical analyses in Das et al. (2013) and Shiyko et al. (2014).
Das, K., Li, R., Sengupta, S., & Wu, R. (2013). A Bayesian semiparametric model for bivariate sparse longitudinal data. Statistics in Medicine, 32, 3899-3910. doi: 10.1002/sim.5790 PMCID: PMC3740051

Time-Varying Effect Models (TVEM)
The time-varying effect model developed by Methodology Center researchers allows researchers to estimate the time-varying effects of coefficients. A natural extension of linear regression models, TVEM allows coefficients to vary over time. This flexible approach allows the mean trajectory and effects of covariates to vary with time without assuming parametric (e.g., linear or quadratic) functions. Tan, Shiyko, Li, Li, & Dierker (2012) provides a detailed introduction to time-varying effect models for audiences in the psychological sciences. An empirical demonstration of the %TVEM macro appears in Shiyko, Lanza, Tan, Li, & Shiffman (2012). Both articles make use of the %TVEM SAS macro, developed by Center scientists to enable applied researchers to employ TVEM.

Functional Hierarchical Linear Model (FHLM)
Functional hierarchical linear models (FHLMs) extend mixed effects models, hierarchical linear models, and multilevel models by allowing both fixed effects and random effects (i.e. individual effects) in these models to vary over time. Li, Root and Shiffman (2006) proposed FHLMs for analysis of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data collected in smoking cession study. This article makes use of the %FHLMLLR SAS macro (an acronym for functional hierarchical linear model using local linear regression), developed by center scientists in 2009. This macro allows prevention scientists to graphically represent these complex relationships.

We distribute free software to researchers so they can use our methods accurately and easily.
The Methodology Center first released %TVEM SAS macro for SAS in 2011, and continues to improve and expand the software. There are currently four versions of the %TVEM macro, all of which are available in a single download.
- %TVEM_normal for data with a normal distribution
- %TVEM_poisson for data with a poisson distribution
- %TVEM_zip for data with a zero-inflated poisson distribution
- %TVEM_logistic for binary data with a logistic distribution
We developed the SAS macro for Estimation of Functional Hierarchical Linear Models (FHLM) Using Local Linear Regression Estimation Procedure in 2009.

It can be best described as the Great Mumbai Tamasha. Refusing to learn lessons from the April tragedy involving Russian circus, two circus companies have camped in the city flouting all rules.
And, none of the government agencies involved in allowing them to run the shows are willing to take responsibility. Peta's (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) call to every government agency to look into the conditions at Great Royal Circus, currently camped in Jogeshwari (east) next to the railway station, have fallen on deaf ears, with every official passing the buck on the other for inaction. The Peta report on Royal Circus talks of the tents being made of inflammable material. There is no non-stop supply of water or fire extinguishers of the correct nature. Also, there are no proper pipes to carry water, reads the report. Moreover, there's no infrastructure for fire-fighting operations in case of an emergency.
Chief functionary of Peta Anuradha Sawhney said, "The circus authorities should take minimum precautions to protect the lives of defenceless animals. The situation is such that another tragedy is just waiting to happen." Peta has sent a letter to the fire, police and civic authorities.
But no one seems to be listening. Chief fire officer AD Jhandwal said, "We gave a no objection certificate for the fire safety. I'm not aware of the ground situation there. We are merely a recommending authority. But it is the duty of BMC to set things right. If they (civic officials) inform us, we will definitely go on an inspection."
Additional municipal commissioner Shrikant Singh, however, said, "Giving a licence to a circus is not in our jurisdiction. You must question officials at the collector's office."
When all efforts to get in touch with any official at the collector's office failed, DNA contacted local ward officer of K-east ward Vasant Prabhu. "We give NoCs to a circus only for the use of land, nothing else," he said.
So, where does this passing-the-buck stop? "We will visit the circus site tomorrow for a preliminary inspection," said Prabhu.
Irregularities in circus shows have become a common sight because of such government apathy. And this has forced animal rights activists to assume the role of vigilant squads.
Last week, Plant and Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in Thane went on an inspection of the Raj Kamal Circus in Kalyan and found a horse's leg badly wounded.
"We got the animal treated on the spot. A 22-year-old hippo was kept in a transit tank, which we have objected to. We will visit circuses regularly to see to it that animals are treated properly," said Nilesh Bhanage, a member of PAWS.
Common Cause
On April 6, 2004, a short-circuit triggered a massive fire, which charred 21 animals of the Russian State Company Circus to death. Peta had then filed a Public Interest Litigation in the Bombay High Court on the issue to get custody of the three dogs left. "We got the animals. But the response from all government agencies was bad, which is why we withdrew the case. We want to create norms in India for circus performance, for which we have asked police commissioner AN Roy, municipal commissioner Johny Joseph, chief fire officer AD Jhandwal, and Maneka Gandhi for their views. If their response is negative, we have a strong case to move the court again," said Sawhney

Freelance AgentStatus: DeceasedSpace Sector: 2814Sector Partner: InapplicableHomeworld: EarthPredecessor: InapplicableSuccessor: Inapplicable History Admitted into a mental institution at 14, Alex Nero was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and bi-polar issues. The Qwardians gave him a yellow power ring to stop the Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner. They wanted someone who was imaginative as Rayner and Nero drew horrible creatures when he was young. He went on a rampage and beat both Kyle Rayner and Alan Scott. Later, Kyle had the Justice League to help fight Nero. They finally beat him by showing tapes of his parents which then made him go crazy and he made constructs of his parents which taunted him. He then disappeared. He came back later to fight Kyle Rayner again. Kyle then became Ion and beat him and he was transported away by the Qwardains. He reappeared yet again masquerading as Ion and killing many people. Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner found him and took him to the Guardians of the Universe. He was put in a Sciencell and later released when the Sinestro Corps attacked Oa, managing to free Superman-Prime and the Cyborg Superman. He stayed in hiding until he found Kyle Rayner training Sodom Yat, helping him be better with the Ion being. Nero attacked them but was defeated by Yat who turned Nero's own constructs against him. Nero later fought alongside Sinestro's soldiers and was once again imprisoned on Oa following the Sinestro Corps final defeat. During the War of Light, the renegade Guardian Scar let loose the captured Sinestro Corps rings in an attempt to cause a riot within the Sciencells. The Green Lantern Corps rushed into action to quell the riot, ultimately succeeding in disarming the Sinestro Corps prisoners. As the rest of the Corps worked to douse the many fires raging on Oa, the Alpha Lanterns mysteriously transported the captured prisoners to a secluded location and commenced executing them under the Guardians orders. Salaak was alerted to the numerous energy blasts and sent Lanterns Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner to investigate. The two earth Lantern's attempted to stop the Alpha's executions but were unable to stop the Alpha Lantern Green Man from fulfilling his directive and executing Nero. Nero was shot point blank in the head and by all accounts, was killed instantly. Nero would later become a Black Lantern with the others Scien Cell members who were executed. Powers and Abilities Qwardian (Yellow) Power Ring: Sinestro Corps members use yellow power rings, which were built on the planet Qward. The yellow power rings give the wielder the ability to create constructs in the form of whatever objects its bearer can imagine. The power rings also provide flight, force fields and communication. Fuelled by fear, the yellow power rings are charged by Manhunter androids. They have in-bulit yellow power batteries, which are connected to the large power battery based on Qward. The only weakness of a yellow power ring is that its transition and power can be greatly disrupted by the presence of a Blue Lantern. The yellow rings have the same recharging limitations as the other Lanterns.

I used to be like you, had a panic attack on a plane back from Greece once. The best thing you can do is a longhaul flight! It was for me.
I'm going to Barcelona tomorrow and the anxiety is setting in a bit, but I know ill be fine.
The way I calm myself down is by thinking of the following:-
- you're not gonna get there any other way, not quickly anyway.
- if you're uneasy of turbulence etc, look to see what the cabin crew are doing. If they're still up doing their job then everything's fine. You only have to start worrying if they look worried. I've never EVER seen one look worried!
Enjoy the flight, I'm sure they'll have on board entertainment to keep you occupied. When I flew to Chicago I watched about 10 films one after the other, before I knew it I was there!
