Evan Roberts - Only 1
Artist: Evan Roberts
Producer: Evan Roberts
Album: Evan & Hell
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 8 votes )
It's been a minute since last we heard from Evan Roberts—the reader-acclaimed Don't Wanna Hear hit our front page way back in January 2010—but, if the indie crooner's latest single is any indication, he hasn't changed a bit in the meantime. Still as soulful, multitalented and (alas) heartbreak-prone as ever, the artist spends sweeping ballad Only 1 pouring his heart out to an ex over his own rock-infused production. Evan & Hell has yet to receive a drop date, but fans can still download 2009's Outta Hear EP for free via in the Booth.

Looking for a project Boat NJ
I'm new to this forum and looking for some help...
I'm an avid sailor, I have a Hunter 260 and sail Barnegat Bay in New Jersey.
I'm also a self employed custom cabinet maker & woodworker...
I have a buddy/partner and together we're looking for a larger "project boat" to refurbish and ultimately launch and sail her.
We're thinking mid 30's or larger...
A few considerations....
1. We'd like to start with a desireable shell, after all, a pig in an evening gown is still a pig. Any thoughts on boat builders and/or models?
2. I don't want a wooden boat, a fiberglass hull is a must and the hull can't have issues.
3. Obviously price, we don't want to spend a lot to start out as we'll be doing that on the other end.
4. Distance is a consideration, a boat on the west coast won't work...
Can anyone offer any help?
Thanks, feel free to call me at 732-614-5535

A Tribute to Coco Chanel, Circa 1932
Diamond merchants knew precisely what they were doing in 1932 when they asked to meet (one envisions the moment to be hat-in-hand) with Coco Chanel: Three years into the Great Depression, to say the diamond business had been languishing would be a severe understatement. Faced with crisis, the gentlemen of the International Diamond Guild were looking to a woman to be the savior of fine jewelry. That Chanel had already built a business based on costume jewelry mattered little; rather, they were relying upon the dazzling reputation of one of the world's most celebrated women, whose very touch seemed to turn everything into gold—perhaps even, as they hoped, diamonds.
"Gabrielle Chanel was very famous at the time, known for creativity and freedom and giving new blood to an industry, and they wanted that," says Benjamin Comar, international director of Chanel Fine Jewelry. "For her, it was a creative challenge, the chance to try something new." Fast-forward to November 6, 1932: The official opening-night party was set for the following evening, but at a preview for members of the press, stylish Parisians clamored to crash the event, eager to see what Mademoiselle Chanel had concocted for her first-ever fine-jewelry collection. There, amid her private rooms at 29 Faubourg Saint-Honoré, guests were indeed met with a visionary collection, which she had dubbed "Bijoux de Diamants." A necklace inspired by a comet—from its five-point star to its round-cut diamonds that wrapped around the throat, finishing in a splashy tail—was roundly considered to be the highlight of the forward-thinking collection. When asked about the Comète necklace, Chanel would relate to one journalist how she glanced up at the sky one night while strolling the Champs-Élysées, contemplating how she would imbue fine jewelry with her singular aesthetic, and she found her answer among the stars: "I wanted to cover women in constellations," she said.
As with so many of Chanel's recollections throughout her lifetime, it's debatable whether this moment actually occurred or perhaps was a romantic tale she conjured to enhance her mythology. But it's undeniable that "Bijoux de Diamants" represented a significant step forward for Chanel and her house, as it combined her philosophies of craft, artistry, and modern femininity into a new medium that also happened to be the priciest of the métiers that fell under the Chanel label. And while the woman who counted Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dalí among her coterie had nothing left to prove, surely she appreciated the acclaim that surrounded the debut, which praised her artistry and innovation in equal measure. Wrote one reviewer: "Nothing more harmonious, more sumptuous, or lighter could be imagined than these stars that appear to gently glide around the neck, or these little bows with their air of innocence or these fringes set on tiaras like sparkling and magical strands of hair."
Eight decades later, Chanel's inaugural fine-jewelry collection is being celebrated with an 80-piece, high-jewelry tribute that has been titled, simply, "1932." The collection debuted in Beijing in March and then in Paris in early July; following a US debut in October in New York (fittingly, in a space adjacent to the Museum of Modern Art), at press time this homage of diamonds and platinum, gold and pearls, rock crystal and sapphires was headed to Tokyo. As a tribute to Chanel's inspiration, organizers have turned the various exhibit spaces into a de facto Chanel Planetarium, a dazzling observatory in which constellations on a domed sky share equal space with the brilliance of haute-couture jewels. There, clients are afforded the opportunity to view the history and heritage inherent in Chanel's attitude toward fine jewelry—which, unsurprisingly, walked a similar path as her approach to ready-to-wear. "Chanel translated the idea of freedom into everything she did, and that extended to the jewelry as well," Comar says. "She freed women from very stiff, trophy-oriented jewelry, and in my opinion transformed the industry with what she created. In this tribute collection, we wanted to honor that."
More than two years in the making, "1932" takes its cue from Chanel's original creations: You'll see an updated version of that iconic Comète necklace, with a five-pronged star that has been reinterpreted to showcase at its center a 15 carat diamond. "Here's the most exciting thing about that piece," says Barbara Cirkva, fashion division president for Chanel. "The same workshop that crafted the original Comète necklace continues to work for us, and did [the 1932 tribute] necklace as well. That is a wonderful statement not only about our history, but our commitment to continue crafting this art form within Paris."
While respecting the past is key, the tribute collection also exhibits an undeniable versatility and look forward, an idea Chanel encouraged in her original collection and would undoubtedly appreciate. Start with the sautoir necklaces, in which sun pendants can instantly become brooches, while drippy chains that form a portion of a necklace could serve double-duty as bracelets (an homage to the notion that Chanel loved convertible jewelry). Then move on through to those 80th-anniversary pieces featuring new inspirations, most significantly a grouping of lion-inspired jewels in rutile quartz or rock crystal. These latter pieces are a sort of tribute-within-the-tribute to the designer, who was a Leo and famously loved astrology. "The lion pieces are quite special," Comar says. "Chanel [herself] never used the lion as inspiration or jewelry, and yet it was very important to her."
Touring the collection requires a Herculean effort in planning, but it's unquestionably worth the effort, Cirkva says. "It's a great opportunity to explore how the fine jewelry ties back to the history and heritage of Coco Chanel and her fascination with comets and stars," she says. "We've never been able to share that on a large scale."
Ultimately, Chanel's mastery of craft is without question the integral component of this celebratory collection. "To show 80 pieces of high jewelry in one room, that's almost unheard of," Cirkva says, noting that a few pieces have been added since the tour started, jewels crafted from those same Paris workrooms that Mademoiselle Chanel ventured into long ago. Whether rooted in legend or reality, certainly Coco Chanel would appreciate her house's reasoning behind such an idea. "High jewelry is really all about the dream and the creation of that dream," she says. Cirkva smiles as she adds, "We had to keep a few secrets."

A lawsuit against KPMG in Florida raises issues as to whether accounting professionals should be involved in Medicare billing issues done on behalf of their clients.The suit alleges that the firm, in 1990-93, helped five state hospitals falsify Medicare cost reports that were used to illegally inflate the hospital's payments from Medicare.Although KPMG has publicly said they did nothing wrong (back then it was KPMG Peat Marwick), the U.S. Justice Department, last week, joined the lawsuit against the firm.

The electoral fate of outgoing Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Meira Kumar, former Kerala governor Nikhil Kumar and Chirag Paswan, son of LJP president Ramvilas Paswan, will be decided in the ballots.
Polling began on Thursday in six of the 40 constituencies, all in Maoist-hit areas, for the first of the six-phase Lok Sabha polls in Bihar.
The constituencies where polling is being held, starting at 7 am, are Sasaram (SC), Karakat, Aurangabad, Gaya (SC), Nawada and Jamui (SC).
About an hour and a half before the start of polling, Maoists triggered a bomb blast in Munger, killing two CRPF jawans and injuring three others, when they were on their way to a polling station in Jamui parliamentary constituency.
Of the 80 candidates, including 10 women, the electoral fate of outgoing Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Meira Kumar, former Kerala governor Nikhil Kumar and actor-turned-politician Chirag Paswan, son of LJP president Ramvilas Paswan will be decided.
Ms. Meira is seeking re-election for the third consecutive term from Sasaram, her home turf, which elected her father and Dalit icon Babu Jagjivan Ram eight times from independence to 1984.
Chirag Paswan makes his electoral debut in Jamui (SC) seat and is pitted against Assembly speaker Uday Narayan Chaudhary.
While a resurgent BJP is claiming it would bag a major chunk of the 40 seats in the state, the RJD-Congress alliance and the JD(U)-CPI alliance are equally determined to corner maximum number of seats.
Of the total electorate, women voters number 49,73,691, outnumbering male voters at 43,55,752. Altogether 9,781 polling stations have been set up.
Out of the 10,215 polling stations in the six constituencies, 3,885 have been identified as critical by Election Commission.
There are 51,000 security personnel deployed for conduct of free and fair polling in the Maoist-affected constituencies. Three helicopters have also been pressed into service for surveillance, election commission sources said. One air ambulance has been kept ready at Patna airport, an EC statement said.
A total of 94,57,323 voters, 27,52,04 of them first timers, are expected to exercise their franchise in the six constituencies.
Keywords: Lok Sabha elections 2014, Third phase polls, Bihar polls, Maoist violence, Jamui constituency, Gaya constituency, Sasaram constituency

Inference refers to inferring "the contents of a case, pallet, or other aggregate of individual units, packages, or containers of dangerous drugs, from a unique identifier associated with the case, pallet, or other aggregate, without opening each case, pallet, or other aggregate or otherwise individually validating each unit," according to the California State Board of Pharmacy (CA BoP).
Speakers at GS1 Connect in June shared several business reasons to standardize product identification. Health systems representatives spoke of efficiencies that standardized identification could bring in product and patient identification and tracking as well as improvements in billing, ordering, and inventory. Many spoke of the need for standards, such as the GS1 family of standards.
At ACHEMA 2012, Seidenader Maschinenbau GmbH will showcase a new inspection station that measures and evaluates stress birefringence in containers, which can help identify specific prestages of crack formation, the company reports. The station will be integrated into a Seidenader MS inspection machine for vials with a throughput of up to 24,000 containers/hour. Another system will be shown for inspecting up to 36,000 syringes per hour for particles or cosmetic defects. Feeding and orientation of the syringes is provided by a Seidenader SyWalker.
GS1 US has appointed Siobhan O'Bara as vice president, healthcare. O'Bara is now responsible for setting strategy and ensuring achievement of operating results for GS1 Healthcare US, including supporting GS1 Standards implementation initiatives
across the U.S. healthcare industry, the standards organization reported in a press release.

It's increasingly difficult—even for the experts—to tell the difference between a counterfeit drug and the real thing. Consumers feel they have no sure way of knowing if they're getting duped. They may even ingest a harmful ingredient a counterfeiter has used to make a fake pill—like highway paint, floor wax, and boric acid—according to a CBS news report.
Now in our archives is our exclusive virtual conference event that examines one of the key issues facing the Pharma and BioPharma supply chain, counterfeit drugs. Titled 'Pharmaceutical Track & Trace and Authentication: The Fight against Fake Drugs', the event is presented by UBM brands Pharmaceutical & Medical Packaging News, Tracking & Tracing Pharmaceutical Products, InnoPack, and Pharmapack in association with CPhI Conferences. The online format features two supplier webinars, two "exhibition halls" and a lineup of featured speakers.
A new system launched in Brazil at FCE Pharma is designed to offer a stand-alone solution to support different approaches to pharmaceutical product serialization. VisioCIT can handle either labeling or direct coding, reports Christoph Lehmann, director of Uhlmann VisioTec GmbH (www.visiotecamerica.com), which can position companies to meet Brazil's pending rules as well as others around the world.
Covectra announces a new offering for Contract Service Providers (CSP) working in the pharmaceutical space. The company's new CSP Serialization Gateway solution allows CSPs to simplify serialization and event data exchange between CSP sites and multiple brand owners. The turnkey solution offers CSPs the opportunity to serialize selective products for customers who may not already have a mass serialization program in place.

Is Jennifer Lopez's relationship with Casper Smart in trouble? A shocking new post on TheDirty.com claims that the American Idol host's much younger boy toy has been cheating on her with a transsexual woman.
Smart, 27, is dating the 44-year-old "Jenny from the Block" singer, but Nik Richie's website shocked readers with several claims that Smart has been having sex with a transsexual model named Sofia Vissa.
Richie posted on The Dirty that a tipster sent him the following claims, along with screen grabs of their alleged messages: "Nik, sooo my homegirl has been talking and linking up with Casper Smart for a week now… they met online and I guess they Both follow each other…. she texted me saying they exchanged pictures XXX's… and what not… I'm liked shocked… didn't know he was down for Us beautiful Transexual WOMEN."
PHOTOS: JLo & Casper Smart 'Headed For A Breakup' — Inside Their Rocky Relationship
A description of the shocking claim continued: "I myself didn't believe it…. I'm like Casper Smart? JLo's MAN!!!!!!! Guess he likes beautiful women and the best of both worlds… crazy what a simple hello and simple talking and flirting can end up to…. My girl said she seen him a few times and he picked her up in his big truck…. I didn't believe it so I asked for screen-shot and here they are. I guess my friend Sofie is f*cking Casper Smart.. I'm asking for more screenshots she has them ALL."
The messages on TheDirty.com are an alleged conversation between Smart and Vissa where he allegedly writes to her "I wanna see more what else ya got."

Richie also claims that Vissa has naked images of Smart that she allegedly took on May 19, and that she is shopping them to the highest bidder.
Smart allegedly responded to Richie on Tuesday via Instagram messages, which Richie posted on TheDirty.com, offering an apparent denial of the situation.
"Negativity," was his first message, followed with "lucky you didn't waste your money. There are none. I just did a huge charity event yesterday and have to come home to this bs…sad what the media does to people."
PHOTOS: Jennifer Lopez's Outrageously Sexy Outfit On Britain's Got Talent
Smart's next note read, "along with this nasty story. Thanks. Could you imagine it people came at you your wife your kids daily?"
Richie responded, writing, "Trust me I get it. People bash me 24-7. I just want to make sure you are being honest with me bro. That's all. The transgender has solid evidence saying otherwise. Like really solid."
And Smart responded, "Got it."
As Radar reported, one of Smart's fellow dancers previously said Smart is actually gay and is just using Lopez for her fame and fortune.

"Casper is not gay. These comments are born from envy and jealousy," the couple's previous rep, Mark Young, told Radar at the time.
"It must be a slow news day."
In regards to these new claims, Smart's rep told Radar "no comment." A comment request to Lopez was not immediately returned.

Circulatory and pulmonary systems
As humans, we really like breathing oxygen. That's because the cells in our body will die if they don't get oxygen to function in a reasonable amount of time. This tutorials describes how we use the lungs to exchange gasses between our blood and the atmosphere and how the oxygen is then pumped through the body by way of blood and the circulatory system.
The neuron and nervous system
Neurons are the primary way that our bodies transmit signals from one part to another quickly. In this tutorial, we'll explore the anatomy of a neuron and the mechanism by which a signal is actually transmitted through one.
The kidney and nephron
How do we get unwanted substances out of our blood? Through the kidney. This tutorial goes into some detail to describe just how this happens.
Without muscles, we wouldn't be able to do much of anything. This tutorial begins to explore what muscle cells are and how they contract in order to move our bodies (or do things like breath and pump blood).

MARIETTA, Ga. -- Most burglars break in during the day when it's most likely you'll be away. But police say the four people they arrested would sneak in at night, while you slept. And they could do it, without making a sound.
Lynn Keenum admits, the only reason he knew burglars were inside his house, was the chirp his door made, when opened.
Keenum says he yelled at the burglars, but it was only the sound of him loading a gun, that got them to leave. As Keenum went to investigate, it became obvious how they got in. They had accidentally left the garage door open.
"So once he came into the garage the cars were not locked in the garage and the door coming into the house was not locked. It was a burglars dream," Keenum said.
Cobb County Police say the same group of thieves broke into at least 20 cars and three homes along Lower Roswell Road in less than a month. And could be connected to at least 15 other crimes outside the county. Every house or car targeted, was unlocked.
Police say, "the most expensive item that we know was stolen during this trend was a crocodile purse that was valued at $35,000. That item has been recovered and returned to the victim."
Police also showed us iPads, credit cards, phones and jewelry - just a sample of what was taken. Investigators say they caught up with the crooks on Monday, when an officer spotted their car, once again on the prowl.
The Keenum's say they have since signifanctly upgraded their security system. But police say to protect yourself from these kinds of thieves, you just need to close your garage door, lock and remove valuables from your car and turn on a light at night.

The New Killer Diseases: How the Alarming Evolution of Germs Threatens Us Allby Elinor Levy
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The strange new disease SARS erupted apparently out of nowhere and has spread at an astonishing rate. Scary as SARS itself is, the disease is also a warning of many possible such outbreaks to come. Featuring the disturbing story of SARS—where it came from, what it is, and how to protect yourself from it—as well as those of many other recently evolved deadly scourges, The New Killer Diseases is a shocking call to arms.
All around us—in our homes, workplaces, and public spaces—bacteria and viruses are evolving at a feverish rate, and our best defenses against them are in danger of being overwhelmed. The threat posed by emerging infectious diseases is as formidable as any challenge the human race has ever faced, and the evolutionary scales may be tipping in favor of the microbes.
In The New Killer Diseases, a respected immunologist and a veteran science author introduce the vital facts the public must know about the astonishing range of killer microbes we are up against. From the SARS and West Nile viruses to mad cow and Ebola, thirty new deadly diseases have arisen since the 1970s, and twenty old scourges, such as plague and cholera, are reemerging. But the FDA only recently approved the first new type of antibiotic in thirty-four years, and vaccines for many of the most lethal viruses are a long way from development. In addition, researchers have only lately discovered that bacteria have been swapping resistance genes—genes that help them evade the drugs meant to kill them—and are evolving new mechanisms to fight off even our best drugs at a startling pace.
Featuring many remarkable stories of people who have contracted bizarre new afflictions, including that of the doctor who first diagnosed SARS and then died from it, The New Killer Diseases empowers readers by revealing in a gripping, detailed fashion the way these new diseases manifest themselves, the symptoms to watch out for, and how to get a correct diagnosis in time. The book also goes to the front lines of the war being waged by researchers and medical professionals across the country, profiling the pioneers who are leading the fight and introducing the latest scientific developments, from new genetic techniques to promising drug programs, which may allow us to beat back the microbe menace.
The New Killer Diseases arms us with the knowledge to protect ourselves and our families, leaving us alert and fully informed about the troubling extent of the formidable threat we face.
From the Hardcover edition.
All around us, bacteria and viruses are evolving at an alarming rate and our best defenses are in danger of becoming overwhelmed. From Ebola, West Nile virus, and mad cow disease to new types of Lyme disease, 30 completely new deadly diseases have arisen in just the last 10 years. Yet, until very recently, the FDA hadn't approved a new antibiotic in 20 years. Diagnosis is often difficult and the right treatment may come too late. Featuring stories of ordinary people who contracted these bizarre new diseases, The New Killer Diseases empowers readers by revealing in a gripping, detailed fashion the horrifying symptoms to watch out for. The book also tells the story of the war underway to combat these diseases and tells everything people should know about the nature and risks of each disease and what they can do to protect themselves from it.
A respected immunologist and a veteran science author introduce the vital facts the public must know about the astonishing range of killer microbes they are up against--from the SARS and West Nile viruses, to mad cow and Ebola, and beyond.

Team Android Unite
Seeing as we have some very vocal Android guys on the forum, instead of butting heads you shall now serve me. I mean help me.
I was handed a Galaxy Tab to work with a few spreadsheets out in the field. With my iPad I use Documents To Go, it's cheap, fast and syncs with everything. Apples programs are just to expensive and Maccentric.
This Tab either had Polaris pre loaded or someone put it on (I thought it was an ASUS app?). Either way it's a pile of crap. Now Docs To Go is $15 for Android, but I just wanted to know what you guys use.
This guys review sums up my problems with they app.
There is Google Docs, but from my research it has similar problems as Polaris.
Swift Replies kthnx.
Re: Team Android Unite
I actually own the full version of all three of the most popular ones (quickoffice, officesuite pro, docs to go) got them free from the amazon free app of the day promotion, however I haven't used any of them extensively. Quickoffice seems to be able to handle excel files better than officesuite, but officesuite has a slightly better UI.
Haven't really used docstogo but I've heard good things about it. Supposedly the free version just has ads, but you can get around that problem with the adfree app.
I'd just try the free versions of them until you figure out which one does what you want. Or just do the 15 minute trial of the full version from the android market.
Thanks dude. I have 3 to try out now. I think I had Quick Office on my old Nokia E71. Might even get a discount. Not that it matters. I'll make work pay for it. ::p: The IT guys can work out volume discounts after that.
Oh and ::wonder::
Re: Team Android Unite
Ok, just an update. I went with QuickOffice Pro HD. It had the option to wrap text in spreadsheets on the fly. Docs to Go displayed wrapped text, but you couldn't actually enable and disable it in app. It also supported dropbox on Android.
However all this was for nothing. The boss came in and said they are dropping all Android tablets and going iPad, seems the devs of the main GIS app we use can't get the Android version up to scratch. ::(:
Anyway, if you need an Android Office App. Quickoffice is way ahead of Docs To Go.
On iOS it's a little different. Docs To Go is universal and cheaper, with a feature set that almost matches QuickOffice.
Re: Team Android Unite
I use Quickoffice Pro, got it free through the Amazon app store.
Re: Team Android Unite
It's a great app, sucks it's not universal on iOS. ::(:
Re: Team Android Unite
What do you mean by universal?
Re: Team Android Unite
If I buy it on iPhone I don't have to purchase a separate iPad version. Most apps go universal, popular apps like Angry Bird don't to get an extra buck out of you. Others like QuickOffce rape you with 2x$20 hits. ::(:
Only one is allowed to rape me Rakeesh ::wonder::
Re: Team Android Unite
Epic Fail. Android Quick Office Pro HD doesn't have the ability to freeze panes. The story of Android. All the effort goes into the iOS version. ::(:
Re: Team Android Unite
Huh? I got Quick Office Pro on the Amazon App store and I installed it for free on my Kindle Fire running ICS 4.0.4. :confused:
Or do you mean since you bought it on iOS it should be free on Android?
Re: Team Android Unite
ViN have you been drinking again? :wtf:

Caffeine heavy? Energy drinks makers defensive at US Senate hearing
WASHINGTON—The multibillion-dollar global energy drink industry joined forces on Capitol Hill on Wednesday to fight off growing claims that their caffeine-rich products are hazardous to young people's health.
Senior executives from Monster Beverage, Red Bull and Rockstar told the US Senate's Commerce Committee that they do not pitch their drinks at children, despite their aggressive use of social media and sponsorship of action sports.
"Monster is, and always has been, committed to ensuring that all of the ingredients in its energy drinks, including caffeine, are safe and in regulatory compliance for their intended use," Monster Beverage chief executive Rodney Sacks said.
Energy drinks are a small but growing segment in the non-alcoholic beverage industry in the United States, but health experts have expressed concern that their caffeine content poses risks in youngsters as heart arrhythmia and higher blood pressure.
Last month, the American Medical Association called for a ban on the marketing of energy drinks to children and teenagers, said Senator Jay Rockefeller, the commerce committee chairman, at the start of the hearing.
He stated that in the first six months of this year, poison control centers in the United States received about 1,500 reports involving energy drinks, "more than half of which involved children under the age of 18."
'Caffeine toxicity'
Sitting in the hearing room was Wendy Crossland, who in October 2012 sued Monster Beverage after her daughter Anais Fournier died in December 2011 after consuming two 24-ounce cans of Monster energy drink within 24 hours.
The cause of death, according to the girls' doctors in Maryland, was caffeine toxicity.
In his thick South African accent, Monster Beverage's Sacks argued that, at 160 milligrams, a 16-ounce can of Monster Energy—its best-selling product—had just under half the caffeine of a similar-sized cup of Starbucks coffee.
"The safety of caffeine and other ingredients in Monster energy drinks is well established by an overwhelming body of generally accepted literature published by reputable third parties," he said.
He also stated that Monster's primary demographic is young adult males, and that it "does not focus its brand initiatives on young teenagers," although it sponsors a so-called Monster Army to support and develop teenaged athletes.
Red Bull North America vice president Amy Taylor said Red Bull products, first launched in Europe in 1987 and now sold in more than 165 countries, are sophisticated premium beverages aimed squarely at adults.
She used Wednesday's hearing to announce that it would limit to 80 milligrams per 8.4 ounces the amount of caffeine in its drinks, and that it would never use child- or teen-oriented characters in its animated "Red Bull gives you wings" advertisements.
But she was caught off-guard when Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts drew attention to a post on Red Bull's Instagram feed that recommended that consumers wash down a sleeping pill with a can of Red Bull and then "let the battle begin."
"It shouldn't have been messaged," she said.
Rockstar co-owner Janet Weiner said she felt "victimized" by the negative attention being given to energy drinks, but promised—as did Sacks and Taylor—to review her company's social media sites and pull down any posts that encourage unhealthy consumption of energy drinks.

Of late, there has been tremendous interest among the general public regarding conservation issues. And the century-old Mysore zoo, being the best maintained and one of the oldest zoos in India, is in the forefront of education and conservation efforts.
Since several years, the zoo has been creating awareness about wildlife and environment protection and conservation issues among its visitors, particularly the children. Today, a visit to the zoo will surely motivate and encourage visitors to do their bit for saving the wildlife from extinction.
In continuation of its efforts for developing sensitivity towards wildlife, the zoo recently launched a new initiative aiming to rope in the people from urban centres towards conservation and protection in the light of reports of increasing conflict between humans and wildlife.
The zoo has introduced an interactive conservation education programme — Conservation Speak — on the first Tuesday of every month. Eminent personalities involved in conservation and natural resources management are invited to speak on select topics of contemporary importance at the programme.
The first in the series began during the inauguration of Wildlife Week celebrations at the zoo last week. Vidya Athreya, a conservation biologist from Pune, was the speaker. Having done extensive studies on human-leopard conflict in Maharashtra for over eight years, Ms. Athreya spoke on the topic "Leopards in our midst - what do we do with the urban carnivores"?
The topic was apt as the records from the Mysore forest division, according to the zoo, reveal that 11 leopards had been relocated so far in the current year. The straying of leopards into human habitation has become common in and around Mysore in the last three-four years. The increasing human-leopard conflict and its management was the topic of discussion and Ms. Athreya spoke at length about the role of people in protecting the carnivore.
In India, path-breaking studies on conservation biology have been conducted and the findings have been published in a number of journals and have also appeared in newspapers. But, there is a need to listen to the experts and interact with them for generating debate and understanding the subject or findings for practical application in the field, according to the zoo's Executive Director B.P. Ravi.
Therefore, he said, Conservation Speak was introduced so that the people in Mysore get a platform to interact with the experts for better understanding of the issues requiring attention and respond sensitively for conserving wildlife.
Increased urbanisation, industrialisation and developmental activities have resulted in tremendous pressure on natural resources. Moreover, there is a lot of discussion and debate on conservation efforts undertaken by government and its agencies on various issues affecting communities, Mr. Ravi said in a release here.
Says Mr. Ravi: "As a centre of ex situ conservation, the zoo feels compelled to establish a linkage between in situ and ex situ efforts for better understanding and appreciation of conservation strategies adopted in the country."
The management policies and strategies implemented by the government and its agencies have come under the scrutiny of the media, environmentalists and other stakeholders. The debate and discussion is not always structured and based on facts. The zoo's effort to bring experts from across the country may take the debate in the right direction and understand conservation strategies better.
A number of activities aimed at educating the masses and creating awareness about the importance of wildlife and its conservation are conducted by the zoo during the Wildlife Week celebrations every year, and this year the Conservation Speak was launched to give an opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts to listen to the experts and contribute accordingly, Mr. Ravi said.
Decades-long campaign
Since over two decades, the zoo has been associated with conservation education and conducts activities like photography exhibition, essay writing, spot painting, debate etc., on various wildlife themes every year.
Programmes such as Youth Club have drawn tremendous attention and interest among the youths. The club has turned out to be the best platform for sensitising the community about wildlife and nature at an early age.
Every year, 50-60 youths between 12-18 years of age are exposed to various aspects of animal management, including captive management, and welfare. The youths learn about animals and birds in detail as the Youth Club, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, aims to develop inquisitiveness about wildlife, environment and conservation in the young minds.
For 25 weeks every Sunday between 9.30 a.m. and 1.30 p.m., club members will be involved in the activities conducted by the zoo volunteers, resource persons and experts in wildlife conservation. "The zoo educates them about environment protection, and nature and wildlife conservation besides helping them to develop their personality. One of the objectives of the club is to make club members interact with visitors and encourage good behaviour by exchanging ideas about keeping the zoo clean," according to Mr. Ravi.

Search for the Best of "Salmon Nation"
Fly over the upper reaches of Alaska's Copper River and you'll be struck by the wild, whirling, churn of the raging waters. Could any living thing swim against such force? Amazingly, the answer is "yes!" The salmon of the Copper River--King and Sockeye--have evolved immense stores of energy to take on their final task.
It's that stored fat that gives these fish a decided edge. In fact, in the kitchen you can even feel the difference with your fingers when you work with the glorious stuff. So, for a few short weeks each year, we turn the light on this most-special salmon. As you'll discover, there's no hype. Salmon from the Copper as well as the long reaches of the Columbia and Washington Coast are almost certainly the finest salmon you'll ever taste.
"Salmon Nation" is also the Slow Food definition of this region. We're also incorporating many of the traditions and foods of our Salmon Nation into this menu. So why not join us for this once-a-year event, a time when all of the top WILD salmon. The glow of candles and romantic guitar waits to enchant you alongside of our nationally acclaimed culinary creations.
Our nightly Garden Tour begins at 6:30 (indoors around the fire if it's raining). Come at 6:10 (3:40 on Sunday), and we'll also have an Open House in the Wine Cellar where you can check out the 26,000 bottles of wines covering some 4,293 selections! This is also the most extensive collection of Oregon and Washington wines in the world.
I invite you to join us again this season for a remarkable and memorable evening. Celebrate a birthday or anniversary—or just the pure joy of living. To reserve you table, give us a call at 425-485-5300 between 10 am and 5 PM, or here on line 24 hours a day!

A recent study on the subject yielded results that might surprise you.
The study illustrated in this video is just one example of a new movement called Experimental Philosophy (or "x-phi" for short). Experimental philosophers go after philosophical questions by taking the unusual approach of getting up out of their armchairs and going out to the streets to conduct empirical studies.

the answer is 10
70 eyes and 75 ears over lap the least amount by 45 which meas at least 45 had two injuries leaving 25 from the 70 and 30 from the 75 having one injury add together and get 55 that had one injury but since there's 80 arms to keeps this lowest takes those from the 55 and the remainder from the 45 leaving 55 plus the remainder of 45 - 25 = 20 now we have 20 + 55 = 75 having two injuries and 25 having 3 injuries now the final 85 legs take 85 legs from the 75 two injuries group giving them 3 injuries and the remainder is taken away from the 25 group resulting in 10 having 4 injuries and 15 + 75 = 90 only having 3 injuries

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).
