I drink alot of water on a daily basis--and that can be boring! Coffee can easily pack in calories--so I have switched to tea. You can buy so many flavors, from spicy chai to fruity herbals. Try to take it easy on the sweetner, and enjoy hot and cold to mix up your day and get in water and calorie free replacement to water!!!
I have found that drinking Green Tea is helping - I have 3 - 6 cups a day along with at least 8 - 10 pints of water. Green Tea is proven to aid with weight loss as well as having other health benefits - also the caffeine found in Green tea is dramatically lower than black tea & coffee which of course means less caffeine happier body!! If you want to check or read more information on Green Tea then follow the link and I hope this helps for you all as well 30
Bottled tea can have twice as much siugar as a soft drink! Brewed Green Tea has beneficial compounds, if you drink bottled tea look for one primarily from brewed tea and not tea extracts or concentrates. I brew 12 cups up in my coffee pot, pour into a container & add ice and sometimes lemon slices. Ready to drink all day long. Sometimes I use Chamoile Tea as it soothes my nerves and has a nice taste too! Great hydrater.

I'm a big outlet mall person, I could spend an entire day there shopping. Locally I've found that the one near Seattle had the best stores - Brooks Brothers, Banana Republic, Gap, J Crew, there's a whole lot of the "nicer" stores. However, the last time I was there, only the Gap was open - they were still finishing the rest of the stores, so as you can see, I need to make another trip out there!
So my question to you is this - do you shop at outlet malls? If you do, which one and what is your favorite store there? Finally, do you feel like you save a lot of money when you buy stuff there?

Rowthu Suryaprakasha Rao, MLA, has asked the official machinery to prepare plans for the Godavari Puskarams to be held in 2015. Though there is an ample time for the mega event, officials should chalk out the necessary plans much in advance and take up works from now onwards.
Addressing a media conference here on Monday, the MLA said that MP Vundavalli Arun Kumar would soon conduct the first preparatory meeting of officials and non-officials to have a preliminary idea of the event which they intended to conduct on the lines of Maha Kumbha Mela.
The MLA said that merger of 21 village panchayats with the Rajahmundry Municipal Corporation (RMC) should be welcomed by the people of those villages and it would benefit them.

PEARLAND, Texas - The Perkins sextuplets turned one this past weekend, and are thriving with two parents who still feel extraordinarily blessed.
They ve come a long way with a lot of help, David Perkins, their father, said.
A lot of help, Lauren Perkins, their mother, added.
And that help showed itself at a Pearland park at a table specially made for six - where they celebrated a noisy but eventful first year.
They call Benjamin Big Benny for obvious reasons. The Perkins said, We wish that he had a volume button that we could turn him down a little bit.
Caroline, Andrew, Allison, and Levi are also doing well, although Levi still wears a helmet to correct the shape of his head.
And Leah - the smallest and sickest from the start - still is - and is developmentally delayed.
She s the sweet little cuddly one. She s still the only one who really likes to cuddle, Lauren said.
But the Perkins parents agreed to share the milestone of this challenging first year, because they could not have made it this far alone.
It s probably like 30 a day....so do the math I don t know. Probably about 30 a day, David said referring to the amount of diapers they go through.
Diapers changed, children clothed and fed, with the help of a daily team of family and friend volunteers.
For me it s neat to see the extent of the support we have and how loved the babies are, Lauren said.
People have been so generous with us. I actually have not cooked dinner in a year and a half, and I have not bought a single diaper, cause people just want to help and we let them and we are so thankful for everything we ve gotten, Lauren said.
And now they start the next big year with kids ready to crawl and walk - and take on the world.

If there would have been one steady chant at this year's 54th Annual Prime Time Emmy Awards, it would have been, "We're here, don't fear. TV kicks butt again!"
The other one would've been, "It's so hot, It's so hot … I'm going to throw up now!"
Despite temperatures which sailed above 100 degrees, this year's Emmys were refreshing with a return to glitz and glamour and celebration.
It almost seemed that the celebs and press alike were determined to make the 54th Annual Prime Time Emmy Awards bigger and better after last year's on-again, off-again Emmy ceremony ended up to be a somber, executive dress gathering that was attended out of necessity more than desire.
There were several security checks, lots of metal detectors and lots of wands winding their way up and down the fronts and backs of many people. Some seemed to enjoy it, while others were pleasant as they waited in line understanding the intense security. The Bigger You Are, the Later You Arrive The throngs of fans were back on the bleachers screaming for their favorite stars. Actually, they screamed for anyone who walked the Red Carpet, including Paula Abdul, who made her return to the spotlight this year because of her turn as an American Idol judge.
As she walked the great red way, she acted as though she'd never left the days of adoring fans and an eager press. It's obvious she had left, though, since she arrived very early … a no-no for any star in the know!
On the flip side, the Osbourne clan are obviously settling into celebrity status. They whisked themselves into the Shrine Auditorium just moments before the show started. It was like watching an episode of the Addams Family as they arrived somewhere they didn't seem to belong.
The Osbournes were right on the heels of Oprah Winfrey (who could've played Cousin Marilyn) and her posse (Steadman, Gayle, Dr. Phil, et al). Oprah was smart to show up late and should've considered arriving with a 1,000-pound gorilla — for protection from anyone who might've wanted to grab one of those giant diamond earrings she was sporting.
Many women had on jewels, but the big ones, as usual, were borrowed … not Ms. Winfrey's, though. The colossal baubles she had dangling from her lobes were from her own jewelry box. Sweet!
Not to be shallow but certainly to be truthful, fashion was king and everyone strived to belong to the Royal Family of Dress. From the very pregnant Jane Kaczmarek and Cynthia Nixon, to the very slender and seductive Marg Helgenberger and Kim Cattrall, the women were ravishing and elegant.
Most of the ladies had on light fabrics with lots of designs, rhinestones, sequins, etc. Ellen DeGeneres was one of the exceptions to the rule, donning a tuxedo, a white blouse, and a new female companion that joined the other ladies in the gown category.
Unfortunately, the comfortable and revealing dresses most women were wearing didn't keep them from sweating profusely. Many had publicists carrying hand-held fans for them (must be nice), but the makeup still melted off in the hot sun.
The men had it worse, since they had no choice but to go the way of the tux. The guys would've surely had a difficult time showing up in strapless gowns, so it was monkey suits for all of them and the aroma of stinky sweat for the people surrounding them. The only break some of the gents gave themselves was the occasional tieless look.

Greetings all,
I just got a new computer (hurray). I installed DS to it and copied over all of my content from my old PC and can see it all just fine in the new PC's content library - but here's my problem…
I have thousands of items I have added to that library and last year I spent about four days assigning it all to categories that made sense to me so I could rapidly find what I needed. None of those new categories appear on my new computer - if I look by category absolutely everything is listed under Unassigned.
Is there a way to transfer all those categories I created and assigned from my old computer? I'm on a PC and using DS4.5 if that makes a difference.
Any help would be appreciated - I would really prefer not to have to spend three or four days of my vacation painstakingly categorizing everything again!
Thank you.

Now's the time to prepare for the heat waves, heavy rains and droughts that climate change will bring, says Stanford's Chris Field, a noted climate researcher.
Speaking Wednesday at a contentious U.S. Senate hearing on climate change, Stanford's Chris Field, an expert on climate change, offered a stark yet hopeful analogy.
Just as speeding increases the chance of having a car accident, climate change intensifies the risk of heat waves, droughts and heavy precipitation, said Field, a senior fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment. He testified before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.Speaking Wednesday at a contentious U.S. Senate hearing on climate change, Stanford's Chris Field, an expert on climate change, offered a stark yet hopeful analogy.
"We can point clearly to the causal mechanism, but it's still difficult to predict exactly when or where the crisis either the accident from speeding in a car or the disaster that's related to climate change will occur, he said. "But still, we can have high confidence in the driving mechanism."
Or, as Field put it later in his testimony, "It is critical to understand that the link between climate change and the kinds of extremes that lead to disasters is clear."
Although we can't be certain that staying within the speed limit will prevent a crash, we know it will decrease the risk. Similarly, Field said, we can reduce the risk of a weather-related disaster with measures such as disaster preparations, early warning systems and well-built infrastructure.
While climate change's role in tornadoes and hurricanes remains unknown, Field said, "the pattern is increasingly clear" when it comes to heat waves, heavy rains and droughts.
The hearing came on the heels of months of intense heat waves and massive wildfires. A disastrous drought still affects more of the U.S. than any drought in almost 25 years. Last year alone, the

LOS ANGELES -- Here's the timeline from my Twitter account during the Lakers-Raptors game Sunday. It's in reverse order, so if you want to relive the game, start at the bottom.
Morrison, sans all that fingernail, leads charge to mob Kobe after he nails fadeaway over Wright/Bargnani w/1.9 left. Lakers survive.
Bosh hits 26-foot 3-pointer for 107-107 tie with 9.5 seconds left. Adam Morrison devouring his fingernails on Lakers bench.
LOL. Artest goes over to give high-five to courtside fan to knocked ball away before Calderon could get to it and save possession for TOR.
RT @DuranLA: Pau got up and spoke to Phil who shook his head, Pau sat back down. Every whistle Pau looks Phils hoping to get called in.
Behind the play, Kobe waits for Drew and gives him eye contact, nod and high-five for more good defensive activity.
Bynum has 22 points on 8/11 shooting. Sometimes his big numbers don't indicate a great game, but he has been very active tonight.
Odom rotating his left shoulder behind the play. Obvious discomfort. But his scoring has energized the team.
I guess so. Kobe wanted to get into isolation in the post and did but forced up miss against double team. Late whistle for foul.
Kobe just overruled Phil's play call from the bench. Let's see if it works ...
Kobe hopping in place and doing various stretches to get ready for long run to finish with 8:19 left and Lakers down 5.
So to continue my topic from earlier. Reason Lakers are tight is b/c they have so much to lose. More to lose than to gain these days.
I'm on board with Artest over Ariza. RT @Suga_Shane: @KevinDing I'm sure trevor is 3 for 14 somewhere in the world tonight. #freeagentfail
Both Gasol and Frank Hamblen T'd up at end of 3rd qu.
Just as I Tweet that, Morrison cracks up happy-go-lucky Bynum. But the point is Lakers have been TIGHT. And not in a good way.
Looking at Lakers bench and see the worry. Season-low in smiley, chit-chat, camaraderie stuff tonight on that bench.
Shannon is 1/7 from field. Ron is 1/4. That's Trevor Ariza's spot in the offense, remember.
Putback of forced Bynum shot results in Odom's first points of the game in his 15th minute of play.
Kobe argued just now but no technical. Phil said pregame that refs in ORL were overexcited in giving Kobe T for standing up to Matt Barnes.
Kobe must really like DeMar DeRozan to let him wear one of newest designs of Nike Zoom Kobe V. Many opponents have to wear IV.

Untold stories of North County Latinos to come to light
SAN MARCOS -- When she went looking this year for the documents that detailed the contributions Latinos have made in North County over the years, historian Arcela Nunez-Alvarez came up empty.
So, armed with a belief that the region's Latinos can bring power to their community by piecing their past together, Nunez-Alvarez set out to gather their stories.
Fortified with the techniques of historical investigation she picked up en route to a recently awarded doctoral degree from the University of Minnesota, Nunez-Alvarez aims to produce what she said will be the first comprehensive account of how Latinos influenced the life and culture of North County.
With a nearly 50 percent jump in the San Diego County Latino population from 1990 to 2000 and some 200,000 Latinos counted in North County itself in the 2000 Census, the time for the job has come, she said.
Called "Al Norte de San Diego," the project seeks not only to record stories, but to build a sense of community in and around North County. Nunez-Alvarez said that a better understanding of history would allow all of North County to envision paths for a shared future and then to create them. The stories would be put down in writing and preserved on audiotape, maybe videotape, and posted on the Web, along with documents and archival photographs.
For Latinos, the historian said, it's about validation.
"It's about validating the fact that they have a history here," Nunez-Alvarez said. "We're talking about a people who often don't feel that their presence is valid and appreciated in this part of the country."
Library records help
Nunez-Alvarez will be getting something of a head start now that the Escondido Public Library has processed and indexed the papers of patriarch Maximino Atilano, who came to Escondido as a teenager to escape the poverty of Mexico and the turmoil of the revolution there.
Some 15 boxes of records document his career in the citrus industry, his involvement in church and social service groups, his performances as a musician and even his experience as an air raid warden in World War II. He died in 1992 at the age of 92.
"This man was one of those people who saved everything," said reference librarian Neva Robinson. "We have a really nice picture of that part of life here in Escondido."
One of Nunez-Alvarez's first interviews is set to be with Atilano's daughter, Rosalia Atilano-Harper. She has a rich history herself in Escondido, including membership on the boards of the Downtown Business Association, the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, and as a participant on the police chief's citizens round-table. Atilano-Harper could not be reached for comment.
Longtime North County resident Bill de la Fuente, a community outreach worker for the Vista Townsite Community Partnership, said he is willing to meet the historian's request for what could be 10 to 12 hours of systematic, detailed interviews. He would bring to the project the tales of his in-laws, the Gonzalez family, who settled in Escondido in the 1920s.

Voice Actors Move Online Helping Businesses Cut Production Costs
Crowd sourcing websites such as The Voice Realm are helping business save time and money by presenting them with options to cut out agents and expensive ad agencies, and then working directly with the voice artists. The site this week broke a record with over 150 bookings made in one month, a figure that is expected to continue to grow through 2013. All recordings were completed in professional home studios.
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 07, 2012
Throughout the 90´s the term ℠telecommuting´ gained popularity, as businesses allowed employees to begin to work from home and remote locations, in order to achieve a better lifestyle and to retain talent by offering flexibility and other benefits, including saving money.
The shift for industries to move online continues, especially in media production, with more and more voice actors each week looking to increase their online presence and find new voice over clients that are searching for other avenues to source their talent.
Experienced voice actors are enjoying the ability to work from home in studios that offer the same sound as those that charge hundreds of dollars per hour just for the studio and engineer.
Allowing voice seekers and voice talent the opportunity to work together online through an intuitive and straightforward system has proven popular not just in North America, but also in Europe where the site has just launched a local presence in the United Kingdom.
Marketing Manager for The Voice Realm, Robert James says that having voice artists´ work online has allowed clients administrative and production costs to be almost halved and a better final result. "The quality of the finished recording clients receive is far superior, as they are able to have a closer working relationship with the actor. If they need something tweaked or adjusted, or another line recorded after the first session, they don´t need to go through the exhaustive process of booking studio time again, travelling to the recording location and dealing with voice over agents. The voice artists love the flexibility of being able to spend more time with their families and adjust their availability at their own accord."
The site offers a clear voice over rate card which allows those looking to hire a voice artist to stay within budget and know all upfront costs.
The Voice Realm represents over 300 of the world´s best voice actors, with clients able to find exactly what they are looking for through an advanced search option, making the casting process as simple as a few mouse clicks.
The site is online twenty four hours a day at http://www.thevoicerealm.com and http://www.thevoicerealm.co.uk.

Final Fantasy XIII-2
Question from kakarot0720
I still have two locations locked above and below the beginning of the timeline. how do I unlock them?
my question pretty much details the problem. the beginning coliseum has two locations by it. One below it and one above it. I don't know how to get to them.
3 years ago
You are correct about the Coliseum batttles being one of the spots and Serendipity being another one because I have done both and fought and aquired Omega, Naabut, and Lightening and Amodor and even Completed everything about Sazh including winning back Sazh's son in the Poker games and even found all of Choco-boco-lina's chocobo chicks but even then I can find a way to the final segment above the Coliseum ??? AF either
3 years ago
They are reserved for upcoming DLC, so there's nothing you can do with those locations for now.
3 years ago
My assumption is that since the three locations are locked, one is part of the Coliseum line, one is part of the Serendipity line, and the last is part of the Valhalla line. Since the extra Coliseum slot is used for DLC battles, and I'm assuming the upcoming Sazh DLC is probably going to take up the other Serendipity slot, maybe, just maybe that last slot is post-story DLC that ties the game together.
3 years ago
Final segment above Coliseum ??? AF is going to be for the new dlc regarding Lightning. Thus the answer to your question is those slots you cannot access are all DLC. Lightning's dlc is scheduled for late April-early May.

But obviously with all those state planning policies and legislation and management plans the koala habitat still wasnt protected enough. The veg act only covers veg of regional significance, and usually has to be a veg type under threat (eg remnant veg) to be protected. General run of the mill eucalypt woodlands aren't really offered much protection under the veg act, though clearing regs may apply. I agree that mining needs to be considered in the same light as other development but the problem in SEQ really is urban development. Large scale land clearing has occurred for housing in SEQ for eons now and it continues despite the veg act and all those other leg and SPPs you mentioned.
I agree that we have to tackle norms re: our expectations of owning a mansion on a big block etc. but I think the legislation and regulation needs to be revised to be stricter and harder on developers who can't innovate to help solve the issue. At the moment if developers whinge enough and throw enough money at a proposal they'll end up getting their way in the end.

gerry rijnsma Said:
I have the Linux Lite 2 final installed alongside other distro's on partitions of this pc. For 8 years I have used for work day-to-day Linux (XKLUbuntu, Mint Xfce MATE, PCLOS/KDE/Gnome/MATE, all very good, Xubuntu 12.04 the best for 2 years. But Linux Lite 2 (based Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) is the best I found for now. Very sparky, flashy, crispy, friendly, no hustle.. LIGHT, but complete.. great! Very, very stable, no matter how hard you kick it. I love it.

What is burnout?
Burnout is defined as a syndrome of emotional fatigue, alienation and reduced abilities. It is a serious condition in which people suffer from a negative change in feelings, attitude and expectations. This is often followed by severe problems at the workplace as well as in the private context. Affected persons experience fatigue, tiredness and reduced work abilities. For people working in the health care sector symptoms can manifest in terms of alienation from the patient, lack of emotions and empathy, and cynicism or aggression against the patient.

WALLA WALLA -- Today the Paine Development construction site might not be much to look at.
A row of walls is framed and centered in a nearly hidden pocket of Walla Walla, the brown lumber camouflaged by a gloomy winter landscape.
Come July, however, Steve Moss expects family life to flow and ebb in the 12 apartments planned for the site.
Restored life, said Moss, who heads Blue Mountain Action Council.
That move-in date represents a goal more than two years in the making and part of a much longer time line to end homelessness here. On an acre or so of land, 11 families now living in shelters or transitional housing will move into the new two- and three-bedroom apartments under a concept Moss calls "Housing First."
It's known as permanent, supportive housing and under the umbrella of BMAC Paine Development will offer a way out of homelessness for some.
The ideology says that affordable housing combined with a range of services helps people live stable, productive lives. Not only the homeless, but those doing the best they can without permanent employment
Most folks in such a situation struggle with layered and complicated issues, experts agree.
Alcoholism, substance abuse, long-term disabilities and mental illness can often stand in the way of a person's ability to secure stable housing, Moss said. And those problems can end up costing an entire community plenty in resources.
No one wants to be homeless, according to the Corporation for Supportive Housing. Providing this sort of permanent housing essentially costs the same dollars as keeping a homeless person in a "revolving door" of crisis care and emergency housing, the national nonprofit states. In partnership with BMAC, Paine Development is part of a 10-year plan to create 150,000 new units of supportive housing by 2012.
Phase One, which includes 12 apartments -- one will house a resident manager -- and a community center for the complex, has a price tag of $2,538,000.
Several local and state partners came on board to fund the concept, including Washington State Housing Trust Fund, Walla Walla County, the Donald and Virginia Sherwood Trust, Federal Home Loan Bank and ohers, even individuals, Moss said.
People moving into the new apartments will have to meet some traditional expectations, such as agreeing to standard landlord-tenant rules and obeying the law.
No sex offenders will be allowed to rent, since the complex sits next to Lincoln Alternative High School.
Renters will pay one-third of their income, which for some will start out at zero. That rent will secure a clean apartment with basic furnishings and sporting high-use materials on surfaces and floors.
Every family will also be custom-fitted with a plan to meet individual needs. And those will be discerned by a relationship developed between tenant and the on-site case manager.
It's truly the key component to Paine Development's success, Moss believes -- a way to gently parent families into self-sufficiency.
Eventually, the thinking goes, people will become more self-reliant, thus making it more sensible to move forward and out than paying one-third of their income to stay at the complex, he said.
"Information suggests about a 20 percent natural turnover through better income," Moss said. "And some will be evicted."
Moss and others took training in the Supportive Housing model, which featured best practices from across the country. That exposure to the concept of stabilizing lives through permanent homes took some getting used to, he conceded.
"First of all," Moss said, "I feel most people want to do good by their lives. But they have to want to make a change."
But it began to make sense -- first the housing and the sense of safety and permanency it brings, then comes looking beyond mere survival. Looking forward, Moss explained.
It circles back to the relationship with the case manager and the plans that come out of those discussions. Family services may include taking financial, cooking and parenting classes, learning job skills, treating addictions.
And learning to be good neighbors. Property standards will be maintained by the resident manager, who will work with law enforcement and other agencies to foster a safe and prductive environment.
It is the hope that Paine Development families -- who are already living in the area, Moss emphasized. "We're not importing people" -- will learn by example to take care of their homes and their lives. "This provides for ability to establish a positive structure."
Those who don't follow the service plan will be allowed to stay in their apartment as long as they pay rent and don't break laws, he said, adding that there is a possibility once a family moves in, they may never leave.
That said, "we're not in the business to set people up for failure. There will be some, but we're looking for many more successes."
Homelessness is an old issue, even as "Housing First" is relatively new, Moss added. "It's a new way of looking at issues we've been dealing with for a long, long time."
He expects applications for Paine Development to be available in the spring.

City ready to take on territory
Months of prepspent on strategy
Seated at a table while looking over an aerial map of the city's East Side, Evansville Fire Department Chief Inspector Cliff Weaver positions his index fingers on spots about an inch apart.
One represents the location of the Knight Township Volunteer Fire Department station on Burkhardt Road. The other points to city Hose House No. 9, which on Tuesday will inherit a swath of Knight's territory in line with an annexation passed late last year.
With the switch fast approaching, city officials are wrapping up long-term preparations and insisting that services such as police and fire protection will not be diminished.
Comparing times
"See how close the line is?" Weaver says of the distance between the stations, which is about a mile. "The one fire station is right here. You can see that's fairly insignificant as far as response time."
Hose House No. 9 will serve the northern area of the annexed area, which includes all the area north of the Lloyd Expressway and south of Morgan Avenue from the old city limit to the Warrick County line. Station 6 on Washington Avenue will cover the southern part.
The Evansville Police Department, meanwhile, created a new beat for the area, which means three officers — one for each shift — will patrol it specifically. Officials also will figure in the increased territory using a formula that divides patrol officers by the city's three sectors based on the number of runs each one has.
Making sure crews are ready for Tuesday's switchover has been a focus for months, officials at both agencies said.
Members of Weaver's inspection division visited 476 businesses in the largely commercial area, reminding them the switch was coming and offering information on changes, like a city ordinance that requires a building's address numbers be displayed somewhere on the structure.
Crews also passed out cards to be returned to Central Dispatch that list emergency contact information for business owners.
"If their alarm is going off, we don't want to necessarily force our way into the building if they can get there right away," Weaver said. "And this is for the police, too. If there's a break-in or robbery or fire alarm, we have emergency information to contact the owners or the managers."
Becoming familiar
The Evansville Police Department's crime prevention officers within the East Sector have been going around the new area, introducing themselves and getting a feel for the added territory, Capt. Gary Voegel said.
The citywide traffic unit is scheduled to spend time there starting Tuesday as officers get accustomed to the busy Burkhardt Road corridor and the rest of the area, Voegel said.
The fire crews at stations 6 and 9 also have been driving around the area, getting used to it and making plans for response. Burkhardt Road, for example, will be avoided — particularly in the congested holiday season — if crews from Station No. 9 can make the run by taking Oak Grove Road to Cross Pointe Boulevard instead.
Officials have gotten a balanced response — some positive, some negative — as they made the rounds and talked with people who live and work there, Weaver said.
Allaying concerns
Many concerns were allayed by explaining how the response would work. He said some people were unaware the city hose houses were so close.
"I would expect the response time to be a little bit better if not the same," Weaver said. "I don't see how it could be really (worse), unless they're already committed on another incident. And that would apply to the former depart-ment, too."
The Fire Department expects the new area will add about 350 runs a year to its workload. Most will be medical runs, and many will come from Wal-Mart, by virtue of its high volume of customers, Weaver said.
He expects the transition to be smooth.
"Knight Township has had this area for a long time, and I think they've done a good job with the resources and people they've had," he said. "We're going to continue and improve on that. We're going to do what we can to keep the public safe. That's the bottom line."

De Lima: NBI probing alleged pork barrel, Malampaya fund scams
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines–Justice Secretary Leila de Lima on Monday confirmed that the National Bureau of Investigation has been investigating the alleged Malampaya fund scam along with the alleged P10-billion pork barrel fund scam.
De Lima told INQUIRER.net through a text message that the NBI has been undertaking the investigation in the past several weeks based on the testimonies of whistleblowers, principally Benhur Luy and Merlina Suñas, and documents provided by them and other sources.
Part of the text message read: ''The whistleblowers confirm the accuracy of the list of 97 Mayors published by the Inquirer, whose signatures were forged by JLN [Janet Lim-Napoles] employees/staff of JLN making it appear that these Mayors had requested and benefitted from the P900 million secured by Napoles when the truth is, according to the whistleblowers, no funds were released to said Mayors since the P900 million all went to Napoles/JLN.''

Cause I'm outta this world girl
from Bad Meets Evil – A Kiss Lyrics on Genius
This line is a reference to the Milky Way candy bar. Older ads had the tagline "Out of this world". The "Milky Way dick vein" is the "swirl" of chocolate on top of the candy bar which looks like the veins on his dick.
The Milky Way is a galaxy of stars in space, hence "out of this world", and semen is white like milk. Therefore, his penis has a "Milky Way dick vein" for being out of this world good and able to produce copious amounts of semen.
And also a Milky Way bar has a big vein of caramel running through the top of it, like a dick gets when its really hard. Also, Royce's would be the same color as the candy bar.

If an enzyme name is shown in bold, there is experimental evidence for this enzymatic activity.
Locations of Mapped Genes:
|Generation of Precursor Metabolites and Energy → Electron Transfer
|Generation of Precursor Metabolites and Energy → Respiration → Aerobic Respiration
Pathway Summary from MetaCyc:
General Background
Like fermentation, respiration is a process by which electrons are passed from an electron donor to a terminal electron acceptor. However, in respiration the electrons do not pass directly from the donor to the acceptor. Instead, they pass a number of membrane-bound electron carriers that function as a transport chain, passing the electrons from one to another in steps that follow the electrochemical gradients between the electron donor and the acceptor.
Each oxidized member of the electron transfer chain (which can be a flavoprotein, an electron-transfer quinone, a cytochrome, or other type of electron carrier) can be reduced by the reduced form of the preceding member, and the electrons flow through the chain all the way to the terminal acceptor, which could be oxygen in the case of aerobic respiration, or another type of molecule in anaerobic respiration.
Known terminal acceptors include organic compounds (fumarate, dimethyl sulfoxide, or trimethylamine N-oxide), or inorganic compounds (nitrate, nitrite, nitrous oxide, chlorate, perchlorate, oxidized manganese ions, ferric iron, gold, selenate, arsenate, sulfate and elemental sulfur).
During the process of electron transfer, a proton gradient is formed across the membrane due to three potential processes:
1. The use of some of the energy associated with the electron transfer for active pumping of protons out of the cell.
2. Exporting protons out of the cell during electron-to-hydrogen transfers.
3. Scalar reactions that consume protons inside the cell, or produce them outside the cell, without actually moving a proton from one compartment to another.
Upon passage of protons back into the cytoplasm, they drive multisubunit ATP synthase enzymes that generate ATP.
About This Pathway
In the Escherichia coli respiratory chain formed by NADH dehydrogenase I (NDH-1) and cytochrome bo oxidase the transfer of electrons from NADH to cytochrome bo oxidase is coupled to the generation of a proton-motive force across the cytoplasmic membrane.
Four electrons are transferred from the NADH oxidation site to cytochrome bo oxidase by a quinone pool which drives proton translocation in the opposite direction. The number of protons pumped across the membrane by NDH-1 is currently unknown [Yagi03]. However, the H+/e- ratio for NDH-1 is at least 1.5 [Bogachev96]. Cytochrome bo oxidase catalyses both vectorial and scalar proton translocation with both mechanisms contributing a total of eight protons [Puustinen91].
Cytochrome bo oxidase is expressed when levels of oxygen are high [Kita84a] unlike the cytochrome bd oxidase which is expressed under oxygen-limiting conditions [Reid79].

Infinite Skills Release "Learning Microsoft Outlook 2013 Training Video" A Definitive Hands-on Tutorial That Unlocks This Feature Rich Office Application
Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. this week introduced its "Learning Microsoft Outlook 2013 Tutorial," a 10 hour course covering 106 lessons that is designed to optimize Outlook's capabilities for both beginning and experienced users the popular email program.
(PRWEB) March 17, 2013
Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. this week introduced its "Learning Microsoft Outlook 2013 Tutorial," a course designed to optimize Outlook's capabilities for both beginning and experienced users the popular email program.
Since its first release in the mid 1990s, Microsoft Outlook has been the standard utility for sending and receiving email in Windows.
Updated versions, however, have increasingly tooled the program toward a niche as a one-stop shop for personal organization and communication. The 2013 version brings even more enhancements geared toward personal information management, including greater integration with cloud services and with other programs in the Office Suite.
Infinite Skills' Learning Microsoft Outlook 2013 Video Training explores key new features as it teaches the program from an entirely different perspective, equipping users with a broad understanding of the program, and allowing them to maximize Outlook's benefits for streamlining personal organization and communication.
Learning Microsoft Outlook 2013 Tutorial Video
Course author Erin Olsen, a Microsoft Certified Instructor, holds a master's degree in education with emphasis on instructional design and technology. She has been a computer trainer since 1994, starting with Windows 3.1. Her training style is influenced by her real-world experience as an entrepreneur, and her instruction style is oriented toward the practical needs of everyday users.
Olsen's near two-decades of experience equip her with the insight and expertise necessary to provide clear and insightful explanations of Microsoft Outlook's powerful capabilities for personal management.
"I realize that not everybody needs the same training experience," she says, "and so I try to create both unique programs and new ways of delivering the content so that it meets the needs of every person who needs my training."
After a quick tour of email basics, including working with attachments, Olsen takes email to the next level, explaining in detail how to customize emails with stationary and themes, text styles, images, and more. Important capabilities such as using using messages as votes, delaying message delivery, and auto-reply options, are also covered here before a separate chapter explains how to manage messages using rules, folders, and other sorting features.
Olsen then explores Outlook's calendar, exploring views, events, reminders, and meeting organization features, before demonstrating the improved People Hub which integrates contact information with social networking sites.
"My goal," Olsen adds, "is to help you learn the "why," not just the "how," so you truly understand how this program works. if you understand why things are actually happening, you'll be able to respond to the specific situations you encounter."
Free demo videos and a full list of course contents can be found on the Learning Microsoft Outlook 2013 training page of the InfiniteSkills website:
InfiniteSkills offers its Learning Microsoft Outlook 2013 Training Video either as a DVD or a direct download from the company website at a retail price of $99.95.

Baseball coach Dick Adams will begin his third season at JCC this spring. The first two seasons as the head coach for the Jayhawks were competitive. The 2013 Jayhawks won 20 games but fell a game short of the regional tournament. 2014 saw series after series end with close games but very few victories. All seven sophomores graduated and six have moved on to play at DII, DIII, and NAIA universities.
Dick Adams came to Jamestown Community College from Cerro Coso Community College, where he was the head baseball coach for 18 years (1992-2010). As the Coyote Skipper, his record stands at 383 wins and 345 losses (.526). Coach Adams led the 1999 and 2000 teams to a 56-30 record resulting in back to back Foothill Conference championships, and each championship allowed the Coyotes to host the first round of state playoffs. Dick was named the Foothill Conference Coach of the Year in both 1999 and 2000.
A native of Southern California, Dick played at Camarillo High School, where he graduated in 1972. He later played two years at Moorpark Junior College and two seasons at California State University, Northridge, helping the latter to the 1975 NCAA Division II Western Regional Championship and a berth in the College World Series. The following year, he pitched himself to a 10-5 record and earned All-District 8 honors. Following his senior season, Dick signed with the California Angels and played three years professionally before elbow surgery brought an end to his career as a player.
His coaching career started with a stint at Granada Hills High School in Los Angeles, where he assisted for three seasons. His stay there was highlighted by an LA city championship. He later moved to the college ranks, coaching single seasons at Moorpark Junior College and California Lutheran University. Prior to his starting the program at Cerro Coso, Dick served as assistant coach at Carson City High School in Nevada, helping the Senators to a pair of trips to the Nevada state tournament. He was later head coach at McQueen High School in Reno before landing a job as an assistant baseball coach with the University of Nevada, Reno in 1991-1992.
Dick received a master of arts degree in educational administration from the University of San Francisco in 1997, a bachelor of arts degree in physical education from California State University, Northridge in 1977, and an associate of arts degree from Moorpark College in 1974.
Dick and his wife Wendy reside in Jamestown, with Wendy working for the Veterans Administration. Their daughter Amie is a 2014 graduate of Maple Grove High School and is currently attending JCC majoring in music.

Bilingual education professors win grant to improve teacher preparation
Thursday, December 8, 2011
Media Contact: Bridget Lewis, Office:817-272-3317, Cell:214-577-9094, firstname.lastname@example.com
ARLINGTON – The U.S. Department of Education and the Office of English Language Acquisition have awarded two University of Texas at Arlington bilingual education professors nearly $1.9 million to improve preparation for teachers who serve English learners.
Luis Rosado, director of the College of Education and Health Professions Center for Bilingual Education, along with Carla Amaro-Jiménez, assistant professor of bilingual/ESL education, worked to obtain the grant.
Jeanne Gerlach, dean of the UT Arlington College of Education and Health Professions, said the funds will strengthen the University's expertise in a critical area of education research and instruction.
"Our bilingual program is recognized as one of the best in the state and in the nation," Gerlach said. "This grant is significant as it helps support our efforts to engage teachers and students through language immersion programs."
The faculty team will conduct a five-year study to identify the impact of programs they have developed in the areas of second language acquisition program and science, technology, engineering, and math initiatives.
Rosado said the study will help produce better-prepared teachers to serve the needs of the increasing number of linguistically diverse children and their families.
"The STEM initiatives will provide in-service teachers with the content area expertise and the Spanish academic vocabulary to deliver instruction at the same level of complexity in both Spanish and English," he said.
Another component of the study will focus on college dropout prevention. To accomplish the goal, the program will hire 20 college mentors specializing in STEM disciplines to offer guidance and academic support to the younger students.
Rosado said the program will provide minority and high school students with opportunities to talk to young college students who faced the same challenges that they are currently facing. Moreover, college students can share their expertise and motivate them to degree completion and enrollment in higher education.
"With a program like this, we can minimize the graduation and college attendance gap that exists between minorities and non minority students," Rosado added.
Amaro-Jiménez noted that the instruction will pose no financial burden on the teachers' local school districts.
"The preparation will be held in academies or workshops that are free of charge over the course of the grant period," she said. "The teachers will, in return, act as trainers in their schools and districts."
The project includes partnerships with the Arlington, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, and Mansfield public school districts, the Dallas County Community College District, and Tarrant County College.

Really good game for someone who likes a challenge

The timers are way too short. And it makes it difficult to learn how to play certain levels because that are too short. Maybe if the timers are added later to expert level difficulty then possibly I will give this game 5 stars.

Massachusetts Ahead of the Curve in School Nutrition
Project Bread's Healthy School Food Initiative Paves the Way for the New USDA Guidelines for School Meals
BOSTON, Jan. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — When USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack presented updated guidelines for school meals as part of the "Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010," the Board and staff members at Project Bread gave him a standing ovation.
The proposed changes, which include more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, are especially important for the state's low-income schoolchildren because healthy school meals are the single most effective way to protect them from hunger and boost their health.
"We've recognized the critical importance of healthy school meals for the past five years and we've put that knowledge into action in low-income Massachusetts school districts," said Ellen Parker, executive director of Project Bread. "The Chefs in Schools program, led by our own Chef Kirk Conrad, has demonstrated that healthy school meals can be prepared within budget. The Harvard School of Public Health evaluated the program and gave us an A+."
The Chefs in Schools Initiative was created through a pioneering collaboration between Project Bread, Mayor Thomas M. Menino, the Boston Public Health Commission, and the Harvard School of Public Health. In 2006, Project Bread began supporting a professionally trained chef to work directly with staff in the cafeterias of eight low-income Boston schools, training them to prepare appealing and cost-effective healthy breakfasts and lunches that met the kid "taste test." Over time, Project Bread's Chef Kirk replaced the high-calorie standards with menu options like freshly made soups, fresh spaghetti sauce with multi-grain pasta, and fresh roasted turkey roll-ups, among other healthy items. Chef Kirk is currently bringing these best practices to schools in East Boston, Lawrence, and Salem.
The Chefs in Schools Initiative is grounded in Project Bread's mission to protect food-insecure children from hunger. It's located in schools because the school meal program is a reliable and predictable system that provides a federally reimbursed breakfast and lunch to 300,000 of the most vulnerable children in the Commonwealth. School meals are a primary source of nutrition for low-income children, providing more than 55 percent of their daily caloric intake. And the Chefs in Schools Program links good cooking with real food that kids like to eat.
"In Massachusetts, we have been ahead of the curve," continued Parker. "The truth is that low-income schoolchildren are experiencing a public health crisis. They are at high risk for both hunger and obesity. It's a big problem, and it's time we correct it."
The program has been well received by students, and was even brought into the Boston Arts Academy by high-school students who demanded that "their chef" come with them when they graduated from middle school. It has also been measured once in a rigorous study led by the Harvard School of Public Health, proving that children will eat healthy, well-presented food that's also good for them.
"We've got everything we need to take this statewide: the recipes, the training techniques, the kids' approval, and an evaluation that reinforces our vision of the value of good food served at school," continued Parker. "Now we have Vilsack's recommendations.
"We were especially heartened that Vilsack's guidelines challenge the argument that good food costs too much. He asks schools to become more creative in looking at their budgets. Based on our experience over the past five years, we know that financial opportunities exist in schools and feel it's time to identify cost inefficiencies and invest that money in the health of our children."
Continued Parker: "We call for Vilsack's guidelines to be put into practice both in schools with self-operated kitchens and in schools where the meals are prepared and brought in. No child should be left out: because school is the very best place for the 300,000 low-income students in Massachusetts to eat two healthy meals a day. These Massachusetts children, and their families, desperately need the help — it's their turn to get it."

As the state's leading antihunger organization, Project Bread is dedicated to alleviating, preventing, and ultimately ending hunger in Massachusetts.

|NBA Odds: Phoenix Suns at Cleveland Cavs Spread, Preview & Public Bets
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Friday, 25 January 2008 02:46
Starting to Get Hot
After a slow start to the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers are starting to play more like the defending Eastern Conference champions.
Following their most lopsided win in more than 13 years, the Cavaliers will be trying to extend their longest winning streak of the season on Friday when they host the Pacific Division-leading Phoenix Suns.
Oddsmakers from SBG Global have made Phoenix -2 point spread favorites (NBA Odds) for today's game, the over/under has been set at 212.5 total points (Matchup). Our public betting information shows that 59% of bets for this game have been placed on Phoenix -2 (View NBA Bet Percentages).
The Cavaliers (23-18) were 9-12 on Dec. 8 after a six-game losing streak, but have bounced back nicely. Cleveland has won nine of its last 10 and five straight, including a 121-85 win over Washington on Wednesday - it largest margin of victory since beating the Los Angeles Lakers by 38 on Nov. 30, 1994.
The Cavs set season highs in assists (39) and field-goal percentage (56.6), and they outscored the Wizards 43-17 in the third quarter. Cleveland shot 70 percent in the third while setting a Quicken Loans Arena record for points in a quarter.
The Cavaliers also set an arena record for assists and had a season-low six turnovers, becoming the first team since 1977-78 - when turnovers became an official statistic - to have at least 39 assists and six or fewer turnovers.
"For some odd reason, we get to the point where we just say it's time to play great basketball," said LeBron James, who had 23 points. "I understand what it takes to win, and my guys know what it takes to win and when to crank it up. Great teams know when to crank it up."
Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 24 points on 10-of-10 shooting, becoming just the second player in team history not to miss a shot on at least 10 attempts. Johnny Warren went 12-of-12 on Dec. 14, 1973, against Buffalo.
"It was very important that we closed this game out, knowing that we have Phoenix (on Friday)," James said.
"With 39 assists against Phoenix we can easily win. With 39 assists against any team we can win no matter how powerful or strong we are offensively. We just have to do the same things we've been doing."
Cleveland will be short-handed for this matchup because Sasha Pavlovic sprained his left foot in the third quarter Wednesday and could miss up to two months. He's averaging 7.3 points and has started 35 games this season.
His absence leaves the Cavs without one of their better perimeter players against the up-tempo Suns (30-13), who lead the NBA with 110.0 points per game. Phoenix is in a virtual tie with New Orleans atop the Western Conference standings.
The Suns have won 14 of 17 against the Cavaliers, including a 103-92 victory in Phoenix on Nov. 4 behind Steve Nash's 30 points and 10 assists. Phoenix won its only trip to Cleveland last season after losing the previous two.
The Suns are coming off a 117-107 loss in Minnesota, ending a four-game winning streak.
The loss was the second this season against the Timberwolves, who own the worst record in the NBA.
"It's all about consistency. Some nights we are one of the best in the league, other nights it is just not the same. You have to do it on an every-game basis," said Amare Stoudemire, who had 33 points, but only 19 in the last 43 minutes.
"It may bite us. It is a tight race in the West. It definitely hurts to lose twice to the Timberwolves."

I keep dreaming of people around me being pregnant. Every night it's a different person and these people are not pregnant in real life. This has happened at least 3 nights in a row. What could this mean?
This can point to the development of a new approach to life, a new project you are creating, a new outlet of expression, or new faculty.
If you are pregnant when you dream this, don't be too worried by anxiety dreams about the baby. Virtually all women have them. Only get worried if they persist. A scan can quickly see if you are anxious or intuitive. See: pregnancyand dreams, and yourdream baby for a longer description.
But if you are not actually pregnant in waking life, or even if you are a man dreaming this, is it usually about a new area of your potential or personality developing; a deepening relationship with your potential is producing a new area of experience, a new talent or facet of your personality. If it is still unborn – i.e. not yet expressed outwardly – it is developing. It can also be shown in the drama of the dream, how you are bringing to birth a new scheme or creative idea is 'hatching'.
In a woman's dream: May refer to desire for a child; fear of being pregnant – i.e. in a relationship but not wanting to be pregnant. For a woman being pregnant may depict what is resulting from a relationship with a man she has become deeply involved with. The following example illustrates this.
Example: I dreamt I was pregnant and was certain the father was a man I feel a lot of love for. However as I was dreaming I realised he had a vasectomy so couldn't be the father. This caused me to feel great uncertainty and I was questioning who the father could be as I hadn't been with anyone else. Also I realised the pregnancy lasted 11 months and the baby was due. Angela.
Angela felt a great connection with a man who had told her he could never be her partner, and although good friends, had pulled away from any sexual contact. This caused great confusion in Angela because she had got a lot from the relationship, shown by the pregnancy. The confusion as to who the father was probably depicting her search for a man who could help her "give birth" to the new and positive direction in life that had arisen from the current but platonic relationship.
If pregnant at time of dream: If physically pregnant, then it most often refers to this, and the fears, hopes, attitudes, desires, ideas and physical condition regarding it. Carolyn Winget and Frederic Kapp researched on the dreams of 70 pregnant women. Those women whose dreams included a high percentage of anxiety themes were the ones who delivered their babies in the shortest time – less than ten hours. The conclusion was that by allowing feelings of anxiety in our dreams we are less influenced by anxiety in waking, and we can deal with situations more confidently. Someone else pregnant in dream: An aspect of oneself about to bring forth new characteristics; an intuition about that person. See: Example under girl; cave; third example under penis in body
I keep dreaming of people around me being pregnant. Every night it's a different person and these people are not pregnant in real life. This has happened at least 3 nights in a row. What could this mean?
Drempt me, a man ,was pregnant. But it was inside me,it was attached to me like in a pouch in my genital area. I didn't know it though. I guy showed me and said you're pregnant. I yelled no no! He saidya its a boy. I said oh my god! .I started yelling for my sister. I saw a bunch of bananas everywhere. I saw both regular sized one and those mini bananas. Does this mean I'm going bananas? Lol or is is about creativity, power,abundance?
I mean wasn't inside me but outside attached

Adobe Flash Player Causing IE8 To Freeze

Running Windows XP Home, Service Pack 3, Fully updated
Internet Explorer 8
Adobe Flash Player 10.2.159.1
Norton Internet Security 2011
My PC has recently started to freeze IE8 on some sites that I visit. Freezes for a few seconds and then unfreezes, sometimes reporting that IE8 not responding.
I think the problem could be caused by Adobe Flash Player. If I disable the Adobe Flash plugin then I have no freezes.
Step taken so far to solve the problem:- I have uninstalled Flash Player using the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller, rebooted, and then reinstalled Flash Player. Unfortunately this has made no difference.
Has anyone else experienced this problem.
Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A bit of a long shot.
Have you recently updated Flash Player or does it need updating? If the former, it may be worth trying an earlier version from link text if the latter an update is available from the same site.

Adobe seems to cause problems on many programs as well as Internet Explorer, Silly question but you have downloaded the IE version and not the Firefox? I download both and keep them bang up to date, they seem to come up with updates frequently.
Run Secunia PS and see if you have any other out of date or remnants left, you might have bits of previous Adobe left on your PC that are causing trouble. SunnyStaines will tell you he's fed up with Secunia but I still find it useful and it does throw up false alarms sometimes, my score is 100% at present.
Try Revo uninstaller to see how many Adobes you have and get rid of the old ones.
