Fresh from the popular show, "Buzz ng Bayan", and interview with Teen King Daniel Padilla and Teen Queen Kathryn Bernardo with co-host Boy Abunda has revealed the truth behind the top-trending love-team of 'KathNiel'.
The start of this revelation was supposedly to come from a tweet by BB Gandanghari for Daniel where the tweet referred Kathryn as Daniel's 'young girlfriend'. The tweet went viral all over the web between Filipino netizens.
Although the tweet was viral, Daniel had doubts about who actually tweeted since the tweet was postd for 'Danilo' when BB Gandanghari only refers to Daniel as plain Daniel.
"Hindi naman yata si Tita BB 'yan. Daniel lang [ang tawag niya sa akin]," he said.
Pushing the confusion aside to who really tweeted the post, Boy Abunda went straight to the point about Kathryn and Daniel's relationship asking frankly, "Ganito na lamang. Ano ba talaga ang estado ng inyong relasyon ni Kathryn?"
The question left Daniel speechless for a moment as he had to gather the right words which could perfectly describe both his and Kathryn's relationship status and friendship with Kathryn.
"Ganun pa rin naman, kagaya last year. Close pa rin kami talaga, MU (mutual understanding) pa rin," he said. Although not enough to satisfied Boy Abunda, he added, "Ganun ba? Wala na ring oras manligaw ng iba. Siguro ganun nga 'yun."
It was then Kathryn's turn to speak up as she admitted that she isn't ready to be in a serious relationship yet although she is turning 18 this March.
"Hindi muna siguro ako ready talaga na makipag-commit talaga, 'yung may obligations na. Enjoy lang muna kasi mayroon pang school and meron pang trabaho. Pero hindi naman masama magkaroon ng inspiration," she said.
As a good girl, Kathryn also admitted that she is always very open and honest with her parents, even when it comes to the topic of relationships, "As far as I know, siguro po oo naman [boto si mama kay Daniel] kasi feeling ko na-gain na din kasi 'yung trust and na-prove na rin naman siguro niya na maganda ang intention niya."
Also during the interview, the sweet duo gave each other heartfelt messages to one another.
"Gusto kong mag-thank you sa patience niya sa akin. Kasi hindi mo maiiwasan na since puyat kami, minsan moody na sa taping lalo na kapag madaling araw. Sa kanya ko nabubuhos ang mga galit ko, and maigsi na ang patience ko sa kanya," Kathryn stated for Daniel.
While Daniel thanked Kathryn with, "Last year and last last year, thank you dahil maraming natulong si Kathryn sa akin. Simula pa lang siya na ang tumulong sa akin hanggang last year, siya pa rin ang nag-guide sa akin."
Also, the excited Daniel showed his excitement for the upcoming year as he wishes and hopes to have more projects with Kathryn
"Sana marami pa tayong magawang magagandang bagay na magpapasaya ng mga tao at ikakasaya nating dalawa," he said.
What can you say about KathNiel's adorable interview? Are you excited for their relationship to grow?

Can anyone advise me please asap
Hi all,
New to this forum and must stress I am new to the world of ELSIA as will become evident to all readers from the following question I am about to send out to any experts in this field of analysis:
I carried out an assay on standards of a kit (not sure what level of detail I can submit here on this forum in relation to commercial kits).
My problem is that the absorbance readings I got on two consecutive assay runs of spiked tap water samples are higher than the ODs of the standard curve.
would anyone be kind enough to allow me to pm my excel file to them to have a second look at please...time is really against me as the data is a major component of my thesis.
Re: Can anyone advise me please asap
with more details of the experimental set up, the kit used, and the analyte, it might be possible to help in some way. Why are you spiking into tap water? Is the analyte usually found in tap water?

To be quite honest, unless you have a technical background you probably won't ever get very involved in Linux as an OS of choice for media production. I was a computer science major before I changed to a digital media major, so I have somewhat of a background to fall back on when using Linux. (Not enough of a background to contribute as a developer, but enough to at least understand what is going on... at least _most of the time_) Even though Linux has made great strides in becoming an end-user OS for server and office use lately, it is still a hobby OS as far as audio, video, graphics etc are concerned. You're not going to have much success convincing people to use it for media purposes unless they are eager to get their hands dirty. Many of the DM students argue constantly over Win vs. Mac and when I tell them I use Linux I just get this really weird look. (At least from the ones who even know what Linux is.) I would never convince any of them to try Linux and I'm not going to try. It has to be something you're already interested in. BTW: I would personally recommend giving Gentoo a try. It takes some work, but the end result is a system that is _much_ more responsive when doing audio work. Even when compared with something like planet-ccrma. Plus the Gentoo community is amazing.

Eliminated Dancing On Ice celeb Charlene Tilton has said she's glad to be out of the show after suffering from a shoulder injury.
Speaking after her exit on Sunday night, Charlene revealed staying on the show could've left her in even more pain.
"Had it gone on any more I think I could have injured my shoulder more. It's had no chance to heal," she said.
In an interview with The Sun, Charlene continued: "I've been skating through the pain. Matthew (skate partner Matt Gonzalez) has been great. At the end of the day he said, 'Staying in another week, is it worth being on the operating table?' "
Meanwhile Charlene explained how the show's gruelling training process has left her looking like a different person!
She said: "I was at the gym the other day for the first time and there was a mirror and I was naked and I glanced in the mirror and I was like, 'Whose is that back?'
"I didn't even recognise my own back, so I'm all naked in the changing room going, 'Oooh oooh! I've got none of those love handles that hang over your bras!'"

The Arizona Cardinals have traded left tackle Levi Brown to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
ProFootballTalk reports the deal has been agreed to pending a physical.
Steelers and Cardinals have agreed to a trade that will send LT Levi Brown. Done deal, pending physical.— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) October 2, 2013
It is not immediately known what the Cardinals will get in return.
CBS' Jason LaCanfora believes the Cardinals will receive a late-round pick from Pittsburgh.
Hearing it will be a late round pick going from PIT and AZ for Levi Brown. Brown's contract will remain as is. Makes $4.75M this year...— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) October 2, 2013
Getting anything in return for Brown was a bit of a coup, according to our own Paul Calvisi.
On reports Levi Brown trade brings late round pick from Steelers, sources say #Cards "were prepared to cut Levi." Also, savings of about $1M— Paul Calvisi (@PaulCalvisi) October 2, 2013
Bradley Sowell, who was signed September 1 after being released by the Indianapolis Colts, may get the start in place of Brown on the Arizona's offensive line this Sunday when the Cardinals host Carolina.
After Levi Brown trade, sources say Bradley Sowell will start at LT. On whether Sowell is an upgrade, source says: "No worse, more effort."— Paul Calvisi (@PaulCalvisi) October 2, 2013
Brown was a first-round draft pick (fifth overall) out of Penn State by the Cardinals in 2007 and started his career at right tackle. The 29-year-old became Arizona's starting left tackle in 2010.
In all, Brown played in 81 regular-season games as a Cardinal, starting 79. He also started six postseason games, including Super Bowl XLIII.

Illini Earn Two Dual Meet Victories at Huff - 1/23/99
The University of Illinois women's gymnastics team finished with two wins and one defeat in quad dual competition Saturday night at Huff Hall in Champaign. The Fighting Illini finished the event with a score of 190.775, falling to Illinois-Chicago with 192.650 while outscoring Iowa (189.675) and Illinois State (188.900).
Illini sophomore Gina Wiechmann (Clearwater, Fla./Countryside) continued her early season success winning the all-around with a score of 38.850, she followed by /teammate Phaedra Dixon (Chicago, Ill./Whitney Young) with a score of 38.350. Wiechmann earned top scores on uneven bars (9.850), balance beam (9.800) and floor excercise (9.850). Senior Kim Berres (Plymouth, Mich.) tied Wiechmann for top honors on beam and floor.
"We had a lot of individuals stand out tonight," Illinois Head Coach Lynn Brueckman said. "A few individuals did very well and I'm pleased with them but the team effort was just not there. We're going to go back into the gym and work on our consistency and make sure we're prepared for the next meet."
The Fighting Illini (2-3 overall, 1-1 Big Ten) will be back in action on January 31 traveling to East Lansing, Mich., for a Big Ten dual with Michigan State.

It's hard to believe I cranked out a whole entire six-foot-long scarf before I even had a chance to mention it on the blog. But it's true.
This one was by request, with the specification that it include "lots of colors." Noro is your best bet for that kind of thing (kind of your only bet, really). Thus, I picked out four skeins of Noro Kureyon in four different colorways, and went to work.
Noro Kureyon undergoes a substantial change in texture after its first washing. From "twine" to "wooly." Luckily, my assistant was on hand to help with the drying stage after I blocked it.

CRF450X thread.....
I did a search for another CRF450X thread, but none showed up, so I figured I would start one......
I recently purchased a 05' CRF450X with a Baja Designs dual sport kit, with some extra aftermarket parts, but pretty much stock. I had a 02' XR400R, I miss it terribly, but it had no title, so I didn't feel like going through the hassle. But I have to admit, the power is night and day between the 2 bikes, that 450X is silly fast.
I really wanted to find out from other CRF450X owners about the certain "issues" with the bike.....
Issue #1: This is my first "new" CRF I've ever owned, so is it normal when the header looks like its going to melt, when its just sitting there warming up? That bad boy is HOT!!
Issue #2: Everytime I seem to stop for a bit, the bike will start spewing coolant from the overflow line, I do have aftermarket radiator guards on it, will that affect the cooling when just sitting still? It does seem to act pretty normal when riding.....
Thanks ahead of time for any input..........
The bike...... (Sorry, crappy phone pic)
A pic of both the bikes, I sold the XR, regret it now......
Too lean
Sounds like your X is jetted too lean. Have you checked the spark plug? I've got an 06' that never overheats and gets put through it's paces at 6000' ft. elevation up some fairly steep hills and deep sand. Try a JD Jet kit and get it dialed in. These bikes are beasts in the desert with significantly more power and better suspension than a XR-400. Don't look back!:lol3
I have an '05 with a Trick Dual Sport kit on it, plated in Ohio. The only time I've ever over-heated was in a few stuck-in-mud-in-90-degree+ temp situations. Even then, I've never blown any coolant out the overflow tube. BTW, I'm getting ready to sell my 450X. Would you mind sharing how much you paid for yours? I'm trying to figure out how much to ask for it.
If thats running so lean to the point of over heating and blowing coolant out the overflow , I would not start it till the jetting was worked out. Unless of course you want to buy a new top end for your new bike.
Has your pipe been red hot ?
Like they all said, Not normal, get the JD jet kit. You are going to end up blowing the head gasket, or worse. you think its fast now? wait till you get it sorted out.:eek1 Also you need to run 1 full qt. of oil in the trans side , not .7 the manual says. I use engine ice coolant, helps in the slow going trails.
zzlejeune: Also, you do realize you can't just start the bike and let it sit there idling like the XR correct ?
IOW: How long is "just sitting there warming up" ?
The bike will warm sufficiently in ambient conditions (50-70 deg F.) in 2-3 minutes easily. More than that is probably overkill.
After ten (10) or so minutes with no convection through the radiators (depending on outside temps) you could be close, if not in the overheating range.
"Silly fast" is a good thing. Like going "hyperspace" in Star Wars.
I will settle for "hyper-space" speed, just as long as it doesn't hit "Ludicrous" speed, then my face may rip off......:D
If you really want the best info, not wives tales, go to CRfs only.com. everything you need to know.
Their how-to articles are handy, and explain mods very well, I even tried to wrap my first header, just for the hell of it.......
Red hot is actually quite normal for a thin-wall header - most modern 4-strokes actually do this. It won't usually be red when you are riding due to the airflow I guess, but at a fast idle it'll glow. No worries (and definitely don't go and try to jet the bike based on header temp). If you mess with jetting just jet it so that it runs the way you want it to run. Also, you needn't worry about hurting the top end with jetting - it isn't really possible (note how most all non-MX bikes come lean from the factory, but virtually none cook themselves?). I think back way before I was born motors were poorly made and had to add extra fuel for cooling - they weren't able to run at an optimal mixture (which generally would yeild peak EGT). Technically, a lean mixture will actually reduce temp, but most folks are rich so leaning might increase EGTs, but you needn't worry. Again, just jet it so it runs well.
If you care, the first thing to go from high EGTs will be the exhaust valves. The head gasket doesn't give a crap what EGTs you like (though sitting around for 10 minutes without moving might be pushing your luck with coolant temps). It is normal for it to overheat when stopped. Unlike street bikes and cages its cooling system only works when the bike is moving (no fan). It isn't made for being stopped and running.
The CRF is a fantastic, high performance bike, have fun with it and don't worry so much (but also don't treat it like a cage and leave it idling forever!). :clap

Ask The Doctor: Tame Your Tendonitis
First off, don't be surprised—tennis often has nothing to do with tennis elbow. Any repetitive movement or strain on the forearm—from playing tennis to painting your house to typing—can trigger the condition, but poor circulation or inflammation are most likely the underlying causes.
Tennis elbow is a form of tendonitis that affects the fleshy region at the top of the forearm, the home of numerous muscles and tendons that control the hands and fingers. Both the large intestine and the "triple heater channels" of acupuncture, which regulate bowel function and metabolism, also run through this area. These channels are easily affected by the imbalance that Chinese medicine calls depressive liver heat, which causes inflammation and swelling of the surrounding tissues.
Acupuncture treats tendonitis very effectively, and I suggest you give it a try. In my own practice, I see people twice a week for three weeks, and then once weekly for another three weeks. This usually solves the problem (at least by 80 percent); any remaining pain can be treated less intensively over another month or so. I often give patients Chinese herbal topicals such as Plaster for Bruise—which you can find in Asian markets and health-food stores—to apply just before bedtime. These contain anti-inflammatory herbs such as mint and cinnamon. In the meantime, try these self-care remedies:
Take an anti-inflammatory supplement like ginger, turmeric, or myrrh—or even better, add the first two to your food.
Pick up a combination antioxidant remedy containing quercetin and bromelain to reduce swelling and pain, improve blood circulation, and neutralize metabolism waste products.
Add nutrient-rich berries and dark-green and orange vegetables to your diet—these foods help heal damaged tissue.
Steer clear of coffee, sugar, and alcohol, all of which can aggravate the liver and make things worse.
Rest your arm muscles. If you keep using your forearm, the condition might drag on for months.
Use a support wrap during the day but avoid tight bands that could immobilize the tendons.
Avoid feeling cold, which can impede blood flow to the tissues.
Begin strengthening and stretching exercises once the pain has eased. I recommend using a gyroscope, which you can find at any sporting goods store. This low-impact device lengthens every muscle in the forearm when used for just five minutes, twice a day. For two more simple exercises, see "Quick Exercises for Tendonitis" below.
Finally, nothing damages the liver more than stress. Ten minutes of some form of meditation each day can reduce stress' negative effects.
Robert Keller, CA, practices acupuncture and Chinese medicine in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
Quick Exercises for Tendonitis
The more often you find time to fit these stretches into your workday, says Corte Madera, California, chiropractor Pali Cooper, the better your forearms will feel.
1. Sit in a chair with your feet on the floor, feeling the three corners of your feet: the big-toe ball, the little-toe ball, and the heel's center. This activates your core and helps you sit up straight. Now stretch your right arm out in front of you, palm facing the floor. Gently press down on the backside of your outstretched hand with your left hand until your right wrist bends and your palm faces you. Hold for several seconds, and breathe. Reverse arms and repeat.
2. Return to the starting position in No. 1. Gently grasp the palm side of your fingers, pulling them up toward you so the backside of your right hand faces you. Hold for several seconds, and breathe. Reverse arms and repeat.

Kreklow at the first round of the USA Junior National tryouts back in February.
May 18, 2010
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Tiger freshman Molly Kreklow (Delano, Minn.) continues to add to her national-level experience as the she was one of 21 athletes in the nation selected to the USA Volleyball Junior National Training Team after participating in the team tryouts back in February and April. The players will take part in the final round of tryouts which will be held this weekend (May 20-23) at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. At the conclusion of the second tryout camp, the top 12 players will be selected to compete at the 2010 NORCECA Women's Junior (U-20) Continental Championship, set for July 4-12 at Tijuana, Mexico.
"Getting invited to the USA Junior National Team tryouts is a great honor for Molly and speaks to the caliber of players that we have in our program here at Mizzou," Tiger head coach Wayne Kreklow said. "There is no question that Molly is one of the top setters in the nation in her age group and I think she has an excellent chance of making the squad. The competition is certainly tough, but Molly has been in these situations before and is a great competitor – she's going to do great. Molly had a great spring with us and it's exciting to think that as good as she is right now, she is going to get so much better in the months and years to come."
Of the 21 players selected to the team, Kreklow is one of five setters that will challenge for a spot among the top 12. She is also the only athlete selected that has enrolled in college classes early as each of the reaming 20 athletes did not enroll until the fall semester or still have high school eligibility remaining. With the early enrollment, Kreklow was able to train with the Tigers all semester during the spring training period, which pitted the Tigers against some of the top collegiate competition in the country. Kreklow played as the Tigers' primary setter during that time.
"I am very excited to get out there and compete," Kreklow said. "There are going to be four other setters and I have been competing with one of them since I was on the youth national team. As for three other setters, I don't know about most of them because they are a year younger. I am the only one there who has college experience so far, so that should make for a very interesting weekend."
Kreklow also brings with her an established USA Volleyball résumé as she was a member of the 2008 U.S. Girls' Youth National Team that won gold at the NORCECA Girls' Youth Continental Championship. She is also a seasoned high-level participant and boasts plenty of experience on the national scene at the AAU level. Also, Kreklow advanced through the first round of tryouts back in February, giving her a familiarity with the USA Volleyball coaching staff and facility.
"After going out in February, I know the coach pretty well and he seems like a good coach," Kreklow added. "Heading back, I am a little more confident since I will be one of the older ones there. And being there back in February, I now know what to expect more as far as training and the whole process. I am really excited to get out there and play."
The second round of tryouts will begin this weekend (May 20-23) in Colorado Springs, Colo. The top 12 will be announced immediately following the tryouts this weekend, most likely on Sunday (May 23). If the decision is not made then, it will likely be made the following Monday (May 24). For all the latest on Mizzou volleyball, stay tuned to MUTigers.com.

PM begins 6-day visit to India
Ties: Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay, who arrived in New Delhi yesterday on his first foreign visit after taking office, will meet Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh today to finalise India's assistance to Bhutan's 11th Plan.
Bhutan has proposed for an assistance of Rs 45B in the form of program grant, project-tied assistance and small development projects in the 11th Plan. Bhutan has also requested for Rs 5B outside the plan as a stimulus package for the Bhutanese economy that is grappling with a liquidity crunch and a shortage of Indian rupee to pay for imports from India. A request for an additional Rs 4B has also been made for spillover projects from the 10th Plan, which wound up on June 30 this year.
Yesterday, lyonchhoen met with a number of Indian leaders, who gave 'full assurances' of support, Bhutanese foreign ministry officials said.
"I've had very productive and useful meetings today with many Indian leaders, characterised by frank exchanges of views on mutual interest and common concerns," lyonchhoen said after the meetings. "All of them have expressed full support to our country, in particular to our 11th Plan and our special bilateral relations."
Lyonchhoen said he is extremely pleased to be able to make Delhi his first visit abroad. "I'm looking forward to my meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Pranab Mukherjee," lyonchhoen said.
The national security advisor, Shivshankar Menon, was the first Indian leader to call on lyonchhoen yesterday, followed by the minister for home affairs Sushilkumar Shinde, the finance minister P Chidambaram, the foreign secretary Sujatha Singh, and the vice-president of the Indian National Congress, Rahul Gandhi.
Foreign secretary Sujatha Singh said the government of India deeply appreciates that the prime minister of Bhutan has chosen to visit India first. "We look forward to very strong cooperation with Bhutan, as has been the case in the past," she said. "The visit means that India and Bhutan share very close economic ties, as has been in the past."
The prime minister will today also meet the UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, and call on the president and vice president.
The minister of state for home affairs, Ratanjit Pratap Narain Singh, the foreign secretary, the Indian ambassador to Bhutan VP Haran and the chief of protocol Ruchira Kamboj received the Bhutanese prime minister when he landed in New Delhi yesterday.
Lyonchhoen Tshering Tobgay is on a five-day official visit to India on the invitation of the prime minister of lndia, (Dr) Manmohan Singh.
Lyonchhoen will also travel to Hyderabad to visit lT parks in Hitech City, and meet the governor of Andhra Pradesh, ESL Narasimhan.
Lyonchhoen Tshering Tobgay is accompanied by his wife, Tashi Doma, foreign minister Rinzin Dorji and other senior government officials. The delegation returns on September 4.

Being a multi-user system, Linux can allow many people to use the one computer. Each of these people is known as a "user" of the system. In fact, there may be many other users in Linux who are not even people – these might be programs running, like a Web server, that execute as a special user with limited access to the system.
Many users can be logged on to the one Linux computer all at the same time, by remote connections over the Internet or a network, or through terminals that boot from the Linux computer.
Linux has one special user called root. This super-user can read any file and write to any file. File permission restrictions do not affect the super-user.
Every other user is subject to file permission constraints. This means a typical user cannot wander into directories where they do not have permission. They can't read files that they are not permitted to read. They can't edit or delete files unless they are allowed to do so.
This is why we say above that programs like Web servers might run with limited access to the system – they will run under some sort of user account like "www" or "http". The Web server can deliver files and take requests and can write to its own logs. The Web server might even run CGI programs to perform tasks like database manipulation. However, if the Web server runs under a typical user account, then a rogue CGI program can not, for example, delete the all-important password file. The CGI program is subject to file permission restrictions. If the Web server ran as root, the rogue CGI program could do any damage it liked.
Fortunately, most Linux distros enforce good security practices from the get-go by actively encouraging users to log in as an ordinary account, and only become root when required. This minimises the potential destructive power of root. One reason Linux is generally considered to have less security concerns than Windows is not even due to any software protection but simply this practice which was never generally enforced in the Windows world.
One of the most critical of all files in Linux is /etc/passwd. All user accounts are stored here, with identifying information like so:
For example, a user "fred" who was added as user 200 and group 100 has an entry that might look like this:
fred:x:200:100:Fred Smith:/home/fred:/bin/bash
Ironically, passwords are no longer stored in the password file and the "x" in the password field indicates this information is being shadowed. Originally, the encrypted password could be found here. By necessity, all users can read the password file which meant a glaring security risk existed; tools could very easily encrypted dictionary words and compare these to the contents of this file. By contrast, the shadow password file – generally /etc/shadow – is only readable by root.

For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, based on law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith (Philippians 3:8-9)

Mays surrounded by his family upon his release.
BEIRUT: A man who was kidnapped last week was released at dawn Monday near the Bekaa city of Zahle after his captors were paid over half a million dollars in ransom. Ali Ahmad Mansour, 73, a well-known financier from the town of Gaza in the Bekaa, was abducted by gunmen last week, becoming one in a string of Lebanese businessmen to be kidnapped by armed groups in recent weeks.
Amid a crackdown on the armed groups behind the abductions, Mansour's captors had demanded a ransom of $15 million for his release.
A security source told The Daily Star that the kidnappers received $600,000 in ransom. Mansour spent five days in captivity.
A number of suspects believed to be involved in the kidnapping were arrested in raids carried out by Army Intelligence units in the Bekaa's Brital area over the weekend, but Mansour was not found with them.
Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said the Internal Security Forces and the Lebanese Army will continue to pursue the armed group responsible for the kidnapping despite the safe return of Mansour to his family.
"Mansour's release in return for a ransom doesn't mean that the kidnappers won't be chased by the police," Charbel said in an interview with Voice of Lebanon radio station.
Another man who was kidnapped over the weekend outside his home in the area of Makseh, Zahle, was also released Monday.
Basil Mahmoud al-Mays, 55, managed to escape to nearby Army barracks in the Bekaa after his captors abandoned him in a cave, according to a statement by the Army Monday.
"The captors fled the cave and left the captive there. He was thus able to flee to the nearest Army center in the area," the statement said.
Mays was kidnapped Saturday by four masked gunmen just as he was arriving home from a wedding he had attended with his family.
"Intelligence units were able to identify the perpetrators who took part in the kidnapping operation," the statement said, adding that the gunmen abandoned Mays at a cave in the Bekaa's Dahr al-Baidar en route to Zahle. The kidnappers fled away with Mays' Nissan Pathfinder.
"Investigations are under way to locate the kidnappers, arrest them and transfer them to the judicial authorities," the statement added.
Abductions of civilians in the country have multiplied in the past months, with armed groups carrying out targeted kidnappings of wealthy Lebanese.
With increasing pressure on the government to put an end to the spate of abductions, the Army put a security plan into place in coordination with other security forces in the country.
Youssef Beshara, brother of Anis Beshara who owns a popular bakery chain in the country, was kidnapped in the Metn town of Bsalim earlier this month.
Following several calls, Beshara's family and his captors agreed to a ransom of the amount of $400,000 for his release last week.
Several days after paying the ransom, Army Intelligence units raided the house of one of the kidnappers in the Beirut neighborhood of Shiyah and arrested him. The Army also recovered most of the ransom money paid to the captors.

(Memphis) A Memphis mother is demanding answers and she told me she doesn't believe the ones given to her.
In an exclusive interview with WREG News Channel 3 earlier this week, former Memphis police officer Terrance Shaw explained why he thought he had to shoot and kill 15-year-old Justin Thompson.
Wednesday, Thompson's mom said Shaw's story doesn't add up.
Terrance Shaw says he talked to us because he wants the public to see that he is not a bad person.
He didn't appear on camera in the interview because he fears retaliation from friends of Justin Thompson.
Justin's mother, Shirley Thompson, doubts that claim and others made by the former officer during his recorded interview.
"If I'm trying to get this respect back from the public, I would show my face but him he's still hiding something. He's still hiding," said Thompson.
Terrance Shaw shot and killed her 15-year-old son, Justin, after meeting him outside an East Memphis convenience store last September.
Shaw said the youth "needed some assistance and that`s all I was trying to do."
Despite a sign posted on the store building that says "No Trespassing", "No Soliciting", and "No Hanging" outside the store, Shaw says when he met Justin Thompson, Justin was doing just that – hanging outside the store, begging. Shaw says Justin told him he was homeless.
"No, that's not true, you can look at Justin and tell that Justin is not homeless," his mother told us.
Shaw said Justin told him he was 18 and they only met four times. He says they shooting happened when Justin tried to rob him.
Shaw, who resigned from his job on the force, now wants his job back because he says he didn't do anything wrong.
Justin's mother's answer: "Yea, he did wrong. He murdered my son. He knows he did it."
She added, "I pray to God that he just come on out with the truth."
After hearing investigators found pictures of naked men in Shaw's cell phone, Ms. Thompson believes the former officer wanted a sexual relationship with her underage son.
"I think he was trying to and my son just wasn't going for it and I do believe that's why he killed my son," said Thompson.
In our exclusive interview with Shaw, he said assumptions like that bother him. He said he never touched Justin inappropriately in any way.

Vanilla Rugelach
24 comments | Leave Comment
Vanilla Rugelach
All Rugelach is good, what can be wrong with a rolled pastry and you might think chocolate filing is the best, but that is before you try these Vanilla Rugelach.
- Prep Time : 1 hour, 15 min
- Cook Time : 20 min
- Ready Time : 1 hour, 35 min
Ingredients for the dough:
- 2 packages yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water (around 100 degrees F)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 3/4 cup soy milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
Vanilla Filling:
- 4 tablespoons (½ stick) margarine, melted
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 4 tablespoons vanilla sugar
Sugar Syrup:
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the yeast with the warm water and tablespoon of sugar and allow to proof for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the margarine and soy milk in a microwave safe bowl and heat until the margarine is just melted. Allow to cool. To the yeast mixture, add in 4 cups of flour, vanilla pudding, melted margarine and soymilk, the sugar, eggs, and salt. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together. If the dough is very sticky, add the last ½ cup of flour a little at a time until it is no longer sticking to the sides of the bowl. Mix on low for 10 minutes to develop the dough. Then shape the dough into a ball, cover with a little oil or cooking spray and place in a clean bowl to rise. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for an hour.
Meanwhile, melt the margarine. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar with the vanilla sugar.
After an hour, cut the dough in half. On a floured surface, roll out half the dough into a 14 inch circle. Drizzle on half the margarine (2 Tbs.) and half the sugars. Cut the dough like a pizza pie into 16 sections. Roll each piece starting from the wide end. Place each piece at least an inch apart on the parchment lined baking sheet, cover with a towel and allow to rise for 20 minutes. Prepare the second half of the dough in the same way. Bake both trays at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
While the rugelach are baking prepare the sugar syrup. In a small pot, mix the water with the sugar and vanilla sugar. Bring to a boil and boil until the sugars dissolve. Then remove from the heat. As soon as the rugelach come out of the oven, brush immediately with the sugar syrup and allow to cool.

KDE Plasma 5 Becomes the Default Desktop of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 60 60
sfcrazy writes: Jos Poortliet, former openSUSE community manager, wrote in a blog post, "At the time of writing this, the openQA servers were busily running tests and, by the time we publish this article, they should be done. What was being tested? A massive amount of changes, bringing not only the latest Plasma 5.3 and Applications 15.04.1 to Tumbleweed, but also marking the switch to Plasma 5 as the default desktop!" The switch to P5 will also have a massive impact in Plasma 5 development because now there will be more users finding bugs and filing reports to make it even better.

By Mori-Nu23 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Jan 2016
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.95 lbs (0.43 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I have never tasted tofu before, because I think all they contain gmo soy (in our country). This one is made of non-gmo soy, that's why I decided to try it. Firmness: you can cut it in bits, add to salad and the bits wouldn't become a formless mess, but nevertheless would crumble a little. Me recipe of vegetable salad with tofu. 2 servings: 2 tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, 1 sweet pepper, 1/4 of salad onion (sterling), 2 tbsp. of green olives pitted, 0,5 avokado fruit, 150 g tofu, 2 tbsp. of olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt and black pepper. Cut tomatoes and sweet pepper into bites of 1,5-2 cm size. Cut cucumber and tofu into the same size cubes. Pell avokado and cut it into the same cubes too. Onion cut in thin slices. Each olive cut in 2-3 rings. Add olive oil,lemon juice, sea salt and black pepper. Mix vell and enjoy!
I like this, and love that it's organic!

So apparently he visited the Patriots, Eagles and Colts last week. Can't imagine he would sign with the Eagles right now because of the fact that they have no head coach. He's supposed to make a decision next week and may visit with other teams.
Adam Schefter likens him to a high draft pick in the NFL draft. He plays DT and I think would fill a need for DT depth.
Hopefully a good showing by the Pats will convince him to come here

The volunteer crew of the Tobermory Lifeboat are having a hyperactive period of duty, out again on 12th July, yesterday, to the rescue of a singlehanded sailor in thick fog in the Sound of Mull. The photograph says it all.
Elizabeth Fairlie Ramsey, Tobermory's Severn class all-weather lifeboat, launched just after 09.30 yesterday to go to the assistance of the skipper whose yacht had encountered mechanical problems in thick fog and light winds, south of Calve Island, off Tobermory.
With visibility down to just a few metres, the lifeboat crew located the yacht – 'shout' has to be the right term for such occasions – and took the vessel under an alongside-tow, proceeding slowly back to Tobermory.
The yacht was taken to the pontoons to undergo repairs and Elizabeth Fairlie Ramsey lifeboat was back on station and ready for service again at 11.15.
Tobermory RNLI Coxswain, Andrew McHaffie said: 'The skipper took the right course of action in calling for assistance as visibility was extremely poor and he was not only in danger of drifting onto the rocky shoreline but the risk of collision in the fog was also particularly high this morning.'

BALTIMORE (AP) — Five Maryland toll bridges are getting an $11 million security upgrade.
The Maryland Transportation Authority says its Chesapeake Bay, Key, Nice, Tydings and Hatem bridges will get new lighting, sensors to detect stopped vehicles and cameras. The Baltimore Sun reports that work on the 18-month project is expected to begin this winter.
Transportation authority spokeswoman Teri Moss says the contract for the technology-based project went to SAIC, a Virginia company with offices in Laurel. It's part of a plan to protect the state's infrastructure.

Are dummies a real good thing to train with when you don't have a partner to train with? How do they compare to an actual partner? Can you get a real good training session with one of these?
I am asking this because most of the time during the summer I'm out of town and I can't train with my partners so I was looking into these and wandering if they are good enough to replace an actual human for up to 2-3 months of training.

Re: Right? GPS is a weak signal mode
It's not a "conspiracy theory". Many GPS companies have used the incorrect bands and now they claim that LS will interfere in their systems. It's just a fact man. Saying the sky is blue isn't a conspiracy theory either. LS has already proven the issue and the GPS industry has yet to deny that they are doing this. More appropriately it's a "Moron Conspiracy" by people who are trying to pretend that facts make you a kook. I'm sorry your TomTom won't work properly because they effed up and decided to use something they weren't supposed to use in the first place.

If you're a regular reader of our blog here at Liberty Games you'll know that we like to shine a spotlight on some of our best selling and most popular products from time to time, and today is no different!
Building on the tremendous success of our hugely popular Slimline Pool Table – the Classic Slimline builds on that success.
There are a few reasons the original Slimline table is such a popular table. Firstly the price, coming in at £579 makes the slimline table quite possible the cheapest slate bed pool table you can buy in the UK, it's that simple! The Classic slimline sticks to the slimline's great value roots and comes in at a highly respectable £679. Why the extra? Well the classic slimline has a few extra styling features over the original slimline, such as the over-hang top rail, which as i'm sure you'll agree looks great!
The second reason the original slimline was so popular comes from it's name – it's a slim pool table! In the world of home pool tables this is a very good reason. Why? Well most houses and flats in the UK weren't designed to have a big chunk pool table moved around in them. Tight corners, narrow corridors, staircases and door are not the pool table installers friend. But then the slimline comes to the rescue! With its slim body (which still features a commercial quality ball return system) it's much easier to maneuver into place!
Not only that but with today's minimalist trends the slimline looks spot on in any home.
As always if you have any questions about the Slimline, the Classic Slimline or any of our range of slate bed pool tables please give on our our fully trained sales advisers a call free on 0800 612 8180.

DPRK People Filled with Ardent Yearning for Kim Jong Il
|Pyongyang, February 11 (KCNA) -- The Korean people's yearning for leader Kim Jong Il is getting stronger with the approach of his birthday (Feb. 16), the Day of the Shining Star.
Songs representing their gratitude to him are very popular, reminding the people of his devoted efforts and undying feats for their happiness.
Among those songs is "Thanks to the Fatherly General" created in Juche 95 (2006). It vividly reflects the people's heartfelt gratitude to the leader, who devoted his whole life to their wellbeing, braving manifold hardships.
Kim Jong Il spared nothing for the people's happiness in his lifetime, carrying forward President Kim Il Sung's idea of believing in the people as in Heaven. Therefore, all the servicepersons and people of the DPRK have respected him as their father and mental mainstay.
He made a long journey of military inspection and field guidance to defend the country's security and provide the people with better living conditions. Such journey continued regardless of weather conditions and holidays. In his lifetime, he visited more than 14 290 units, covering over 669 800 km.
Deeply moved by his self-sacrificing devotion, all the people of the country are very grateful to him with deep reverence.
The song "Thanks to the Fatherly General" shows their strong will to hold him in high esteem forever.

He has good MT with power in his hands, kicks... I just dont see how people see it translating well against Anderson. Anderson picks him apart.
We may even see Anderson bring back his leg kicks... He was known for being one of the best leg kickers in the game... but seemed to go away from them, probably based on not wanting to get taken down... or wanting to finish the fight early, rather than looking to accumulate damage.
Aldo reminds me of earlier Anderson with the leg kicks.
You can blame Soares all you want but he is Anderson's mouthpiece. He represents Anderson and unless Anderson comes out and refutes Soares' statements you can take those at face value as coming from Anderson. While I don't believe Anderson is truly scared of anybody he certainly acts like a coward a lot.
Second did Anderson not finish both Hendo and Marquardt? They way I remeber it he beat both and finished them.
Breaks? did he not just fight on short notice to save a card? A ominate champ gets perls..OR DO YOU THINK EVERYONE SHOULD FIGHT 5 TIMES A YEAR. Plus like I said earlier he is 38 YEARS OLD
Now for Soares, If I am not mistakin he represents almost every Blackhouse fighter. I am not really sure the deal between Anderson and Ed, but ED is always the one talking not Anderson.
Silva is a good fighter but I don't see him having the same success at lhw like he has at mw. Too many great wrestlers at lhw. As for Shogun and Silva, if he came in with a plan sort of like the Machida fights, it'd be a lot closer than ppl think imho. (Im referring to him doing his whole career at lhw, not a run at it now) He couldve definitely make a run at the title tho.
Anderson at LHW is my mma dream
Rashad, Shogun, Goose, Glover, Hendo with (more) cardio, and Jones... Lots of really fun fights. Jones being the only one I could see him potentially losing to, but fun fights nonetheless.
How many times did pillowfists Sonnen drop him? Don't tell me THAT was the rib injury.Quote:
Also, Silva's chin was criminally underated for a very long time. He has took a big shot from Hendo in the first round and walked right through it. Even shogun isn't putting Silva to sleep

I would like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to each and every Seton nurse. Your dedication, passion and commitment continue to be the most important reasons why Seton is able to provide the highest quality of care available anywhere in the United States. You are a vital component of our patients' healthcare team. You are valued collaborators, keen observers, skilled researchers and sacred healers at the bedside.
As associates of the Seton Family of Hospitals, we look back on 2008 – a year of growth, financial challenge and proud achievement – and realize that Seton nurses have made dramatic contributions to our success. We have again received the prestigious Magnet designation for four of our hospitals and are proud to retain our Pathway to Excellence designation at three others. We were named a recipient of the Ernest Amory Codman Award for our achievements in perinatal safety. We were named the best healthcare system in Texas and among the top 100 healthcare systems nationwide in Modern Healthcare magazine. None of these achievements would have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our nurses.
Of course, our defining purpose and our reason for pursuing the art and science of healing is the Seton Mission. We constantly strive to deliver the best available healthcare to every citizen of Central Texas, especially the most vulnerable among us. And our job is never really done. The upcoming year will present new challenges and fresh opportunities. We will again be tested and will again rely on your dedication, passion and commitment.
Today we pause to thank you for the work you do. The humorist Will Rogers best expressed my appreciation for the work that each of you does: "We can't all be heroes. Most of us clap as the real heroes go by." So I invite you to take a bow. You are the heroes of the Seton Family of Hospitals.
Charles J. Barnett, FACHE, President/CEO,
Seton Family of Hospitals

Last night I lay in bed
My gut sick and sour
pounding in my head
tragedy struck this hour
Knowing something was not right
the void of not knowing
kept awake half the night
while red lights were glowing
While the world lay sleeping
we are alert and awake
vigilant guard he was keeping
making no mistake
All of us connected by fate
a brother now laid
forever to rest on this date
his oath and promise be paid
St Michael Protect Us ...
For we fight the good fight
leaving our families behind
kissing them good night
going back to the grind
Put ourselves in harms way
so that others may rest
knowing we keep evil at bay
being the best of the best
The blue line has been stained
with the blood of a brother
all feel sorrow and are pained
all feel the loss of another
St Michael Protect Us ...
Hunt them down we yell
none will take rest
find the evil from hell
desecrated our crest
Black band across shield
blue blood ties us together
great strength we do wield
stay strong in bad weather
St. Michael Protect ALL of US ...

Learn the Art of Eating Locally with Continuum
Loyola Neighborhood News: Retreat and Ecology Campus - V3, I3
The growing trend of using locally grown ingredients and taking advantage of seasonally available foods has inspired Loyola's School of Continuing and Professional Studies and Continuum program, in collaboration with Loyola's Retreat and Ecology Campus, to offer the Localvore: The Art of Eating Locally program.

Is the NRA's Electoral Power a Myth?
We all know that the National Rifle Association is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, interest group in Washington. With their money and their committed supporters, they can carry candidates to victory or defeat as they choose, just as they've done in the past. Right? Well, maybe not. I'm doing a series of posts for Think Progress based on research I've done trying to address the question of the NRA's electoral effectiveness in a systematic way, something that has rarely been attempted before. Here's an excerpt from the first installment:
To determine just how powerful the NRA really is on election day, in recent months I assembled a database covering the last four federal elections: 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010. These years cover two presidential and non-presidential years, as well as two significant Democratic victories and two significant Republican victories. I gathered data on the outcome of every House and Senate election, including the margins of victory, the money spent by each candidate, the partisan character of each district, and whether the NRA made an endorsement in the race and how much money they spent.
The conclusion to be drawn from these data will be surprising to many: The NRA has virtually no impact on congressional elections. The NRA endorsement, so coveted by so many politicians, is almost meaningless. Nor does the money the organization spends have any demonstrable impact on the outcome of races. In short, when it comes to elections, the NRA is a paper tiger.
Provocative! There will be three more installments in the coming days; stay tuned.
Thu, 2012-02-09 20:37
I haven't examined the data, but I would make a couple of observations.
You should ask former Speaker of the House Tom Foley if the NRA's opposition is toothless, He was turned out of office for failing to stop a vote on the assault weapons ban. His Spokane, Washington district had been safely Democratic for a very long time prior to his loss. He attributed his loss solely to NRA opposition.
Second, there is a reason the endorsement of the NRA is valued: it keeps the local members from coming after a representative at town halls and other district events. I'm told that can be a very unpleasant experience and the upshot is often a career changer.
Finally, the membership of the NRA are cantankerous, vocal and persistent, and they do vote in very high numbers, often on the single issue of Second Amendment rights.

I read with interest John Casti's summary of the principle of least effort ("Easy does it", 9 May, p 44). It is fascinating that the principle's influence should be so widespread. Of course, I've always wondered why campus designers don't just let pedestrians determine where the walkways should go. Many of them are unused, and spontaneous paths just crop up.
Now to the nitty-gritty: page 46 (figure 2) has a diagram of a plane-parallel plate with a ray of (least-time) light passing through. With such a plate, the entering and exiting directions are always parallel.
The ray does of course follow the least-time path. But the ray shown would be correct only if the optic were a triangular section prism with the base at the bottom, or perhaps the upper section of a converging lens.

Peru -
Economic Briefing August 2002
Back in Deflation as Growth Remains Concentrated in Mining
The economy continues to grow at a healthy
pace. However, the expansion remains concentrated in the mining sector,
which is propelled by the Antamina copper-zinc mine in southern Peru.
However, the rest of economy is only partially profiting from the buoyant
mining sector as the Toledo administration fails to provide an impetus to
growth. Meanwhile, sluggish domestic demand has sent the economy once again
into deflationary territory
June economic activity ahead of
In June, the economy grew by 3.6% compared to the same month last year,
well ahead of expectations. The June reading follows on an even stronger
4.5% growth rate reported for May (revised upward from 4.3% stated last
month). The June data were also inflated by seasonal factors. According to
seasonally adjusted data, the economy actually contracted by 2.1% in June
over May.
leads growth but comparison base effect soon to pass
As in the past, the country's mining sector drove economic growth. Mining
continues to benefit from a favourable comparison base in the same month
last year when the Antamina copper-zinc mine in southern Peru was not yet
operating. Since the Antamina mine has developed into one of the country's
largest mining facilities, it serves as a continuous catalyst to GDP
numbers. In June, this effect boosted activity in the sector by 21.6%. The
strong reading follows on a bout of weakness registered in May, when the
sector increased by "only" 14.0%, due to a strong drop in zinc and lead
output at the Cerro de Pasco mine. Nevertheless, the favourable comparison
effect in mining is finally drawing to an end. In fact, July numbers will
for the first time reflect the beginning of operations. However, the
downside effect will still be mild, as production at the Antamina mine was
not ramped up to full production levels until the end of last year.
fishing spurs growth in primary manufacturing
The fishing sector mushroomed by 26.0% in June compared to the same month
last year, the second positive monthly reading after five consecutive
months of double-digit contractions. The positive performance was due to
favourable fishing conditions, which allowed anchovy fishing throughout
most of the month. The favourable fishing sector performance triggered a
healthy recovery in primary manufacturing, which had suffered negative
growth rates in the past five months due to lack of input. In June,
manufacturing based on raw materials increased at an annual rate of 4.5%.
In combination with non-primary manufacturing growth of 2.8%, this left
annual growth of overall manufacturing at 3.1% in the sixth month of the
Construction picks up again but commercial activity slumps
Construction, returned to the double-digit expansion range (+10.3% year-on-year),
following three consecutive months of more moderate growth rates. Commerce,
on the hand, deteriorated notably and barely managed to remain in positive
territory (+0.2% yoy), following on 4.3% growth in the preceding month.
Finally, other services, which account for close to 40% of GDP, advanced
2.5%, also down from last month, when a 3.4% growth rate was reported.
