Chicago Cubs (15-29) at Pittsburgh Pirates (20-24), 7:05 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Chicago - Ryan Dempster (0-2, 2.28)
Pittsburgh - A.J. Burnett (2-2, 4.78)
(Sports Network) - Canadian-born righty Ryan Dempster stands between the
Chicago Cubs and a double-digit losing streak tonight when they head to
Pittsburgh to open a three-game series with the Pirates at PNC Park.
The Cubs, who sit last in the National League's Central Division, dropped
their ninth game in a row on Wednesday in Houston, when Wandy Rodriguez
pitched seven strong innings and J.D. Martinez went 3-for-4 with three RBI and
a run scored as Houston wrapped up a three-game sweep with a 5-1 win.
Reed Johnson hit a home run for Chicago and starter Jeff Samardzija (4-3) gave
up two runs on six hits over six innings to take the loss.
"It's a learning experience and we need to take everything that's going on
right now and remember it in the long run," Samardzija said. "When we get in
this situation again, we'll know how to get out of it."
Dempster, a veteran 526 major-league appearances overall, makes his 50th
against the Pirates with his eighth start of 2012.
The 35-year-old has posted a stingy 2.28 earned run average and allowed a .211
opposition batting average through 47 1/3 innings, but the Cubs are just 1-6
in the games he's pitched and have been outscored, 27-18.
He dropped a 7-4 interleague verdict to the Chicago White Sox in his most
recent start on May 19 at Wrigley Field, where he gave up a season-high four
runs on seven hits in six innings.
In his initial six starts, Dempster had allowed just 10 runs.
He's 8-12 with nine saves, a hold and a complete game against the Pirates with
a 5.57 ERA across 164 2/3 innings.
Pittsburgh, which sits five games ahead of Chicago in the Central, dropped its
second straight game in the finale of a series with the visiting New York Mets
on Wednesday, when Jon Niese pitched into the eighth inning and David Wright
hit an RBI double in a 3-1 New York win.
Charlie Morton (2-5) was charged with three runs on eight hits over seven
innings in the loss. Andrew McCutchen had an RBI single for the Pirates, but
struck out with runners on second and third to end the eighth inning.
"I think it was a solid outing," Morton said. "Good and bad. You take the
positives and you learn from the negatives."
Another 35-year-old righty, Arkansas native A.J. Burnett, makes his seventh
start of the season and aims to stay unbeaten for his career against Chicago.
The veteran of 315 big-league starts is 4-0 with a 4.06 ERA in 31 innings
against the Cubs, who've managed just 14 runs and 28 hits.
In 2012, Burnett is unbeaten in his last three outings, including a 4-3
interleague win at Detroit in his most recent start on May 19.
In that game, he gave up two runs on seven hits in six innings.
In the three-start streak, he's pitched 22 innings, allowed 19 hits and struck
out 16 batters while allowing just six runs.
The Cubs and Pirates are meeting for the first time since splitting 16
meetings last year. Chicago went 5-2 in Pittsburgh in that span.

Smssy to Twttr to Twitter: A look back at what could have been
Twitter founders flew through a series of naming conventions before eventually perching on its well-known brand. And yes, Smssy was one of the options.
To tweet or not to tweet? That never would have been the question if the company's co-founders had chosen another name.
According to the author of "Hatching Twitter" and New York Times columnist Nick Bilton, the company considered a series of names for the social network before eventually landing on Twitter. The company's co-founders considered Twitch, Smssy, Twittr, and the oh-so-pleasant Friendstalker, according to Bilton. Twitter also explored the possibility of adding a tagline to the logo: "An Odeo Thingy." The tagline referenced where the company's co-founders were working when they hatched the tweeting service.
Twitter has become a hot topic on Wall Street after going public last week . The company's shares were offered at $26, but quickly jumped to $45.10 on their first trading day. As of this writing, Twitter is trading at $42.63.
Twitter also went through a series of logo designs. Its first logo was designed by Noah Glass, a former co-founder reportedly pushed aside by Jack Dorsey and Evan Stone, among others. That logo was essentially a "blob of green goop," Bilton points out. It was quickly replaced by the now-iconic bird.

Narok North residents still associate HIV/AIDS with promiscuity and stigmatise those who have the disease.
Constituency Aids Control Coordinator Kenneth Passiany said majority of people found to be HIV positive keep it a secret and do not disclose it to their sexual partners due to fear of being discriminated.
Speaking in Narok town yesterday, Passiany said statistics recorded about new HIV infections and the numbers of deaths arising from these complications are due to stigmatization.
He said stigma has led to a majority of HIV/AIDS patients withdrawing from ARVs as some fear being seen going to collect medicine.
"Some patients would rather travel long distances to get their medicine while others opt for traditional healers all in the name of keeping their status a secret," he sai.
A study carried out last month in the district, found that 90% of men would not tell their wives of their status.

Message from President Smatresk Regarding the Budget
Sent via UNLV Official on Jan. 08, 2010
By now you have all heard of the budget cuts proposed by the Governor. While we do not know what plans the Legislature may support, the State continues to fall short of its budgeted revenue goal. In anticipation that the State may require additional cuts from NSHE, Chancellor Klaich has asked us to assess the impacts of a potential 8% cut for remainder of this fiscal year (FY10) and for next year (FY11). The Chancellor and the System Presidents are meeting regularly to develop a strategy for dealing with this possibility that includes anticipated contributions from the state, NSHE, and each NSHE institution, that will be discussed at a special Board of Regents meeting on February 2nd. Our conversations have been productive and we are considering all viable options to address this situation.
To date, we have cut our budget 15.4%, and managed to continue serving more students. You have all made this possible, despite furloughs and reduced staffing levels, through the sacrifices you have made and through your unswerving support of our core mission. For this you have my heartfelt thanks. We all know we have been cut to the bone, and that it has had significant negative impacts to our campus and students. While our current plans would allow us to cover the FY10 proposed budget reductions without severe impacts to our spring semester plans, I am convinced that we do not have enough financial flexibility left in our budget for next year to implement such significant cuts without seriously reducing enrollment and curtailing essential non-instructional functions.
I am asking that all levels of government join us in addressing this problem, including our Governor, our Legislators, our Board of Regents, and NSHE System Administration. All must contribute to ameliorate these catastrophic cuts. If we are faced with additional cuts, we will be forced to cap or reduce enrollment, eliminate educational programs and raise student fees. These actions will deny educational opportunities to thousands of students.
In conjunction with the Faculty Senate, we will continue our internal program review process to prioritize support for our best programs of instruction, research and service, and provide continuity of support for other critical functions at UNLV. I will hold a Town Hall meeting to discuss these fiscal plans on January 14th at 3:30 p.m., in the Student Union, and we hope that if you have questions or concerns that you will be able to attend.
Finally, I encourage you all to have faith in our institution and our dynamic vision. We have made too much progress to abandon our dreams. We will post periodic updates on our budget website, and I thank you all again for your commitment to see UNLV and our community through this challenge. We cannot back away from our teaching and research mission, which provides an educated workforce and an increasingly diversified economy to our state. We can only realize a prosperous and sustainable future with a healthy system of higher education in Nevada.

Keeping Your Skin Healthy with Sebum
Under the right circumstances, a human being will feel and look like a moderately oiled machine. We have sebum to thank for that. Contrary to what some may think, there is nothing bad about moderately oily skin at all.
The Sebaceous Glands
The oil on the surface of our skins is a result of the work of sebaceous glands. These glands are located in the skin and are connected to hair follicles or ducts. They are found in nearly every part of the body except the palms and soles. When these glands are working properly, they produce sebum which they release through the pores. The substance is primarily composed of fats. Once on the skin or follicle shaft however, they may mix with dirt and bacteria.
Benefits of the Substance
A lot of people may complain about having oily skin. The sebum however that is the cause of it is really beneficial to the body. It is this substance that moisturizes the skin by itself and by preventing the loss of too much water. At the same time, it provides some waterproofing protection to the skin. The substance is also believed to play a role in the immune system by preventing infection. In the eyes, sebum plays another important role. It mixes with tears to ensure sufficient moisture to the eyes.
In infants, the important role of sebum is made even more apparent. This substance coats the fetus inside the mother's womb so that its skin doesn't get too wrinkled due to the fluids in the womb.
Too Much Production
In some cases, there can be too much sebum produced in the sebaceous glands. One of the major reasons for over production is an increase in hormonal activity. Since this usually happens during adolescence, teens are usually the ones who have to deal with too much sebum. Usually, over production simply leads to the appearance of acne. The acne condition may disappear on its own during early adulthood. Severe cases of acne may have to be treated with topical products.
Aside from acne, another possible consequence of too much sebum is bad odor. The substance itself has no natural odor of its own. When it mixes with bacteria in the skin however, it may produce an odor that has varying degrees of smell among various individuals.
Sometimes, too much sebum can lead to other conditions that may or may not be serious. Over production of the substance has been linked to such conditions as rosacea, seborrhea, sebaceous cyst, sebaceous hyperplasia, keratosis pilaris and sebaceous prominence.
Treating the Skin
Many conditions involving the sebaceous glands and sebum are nothing to worry about. Sometimes there is nothing better than simply maintaining basic skin hygiene, eating healthy food and staying away from harsh treatments. Do remember though that there are also some conditions that could potentially be dangerous such as sebaceous gland carcinoma and nevus sebaceous. If suspicious growths appear on your skin and you do not know what they are, you had better see a skin specialist.

In early 2010, officials at Baltimore's public housing agency noticed a few thousand dollars had gone missing — transferred without authorization to the bank account of a man who rented his Northeast Baltimore home to a low-income tenant, according to a federal indictment unsealed Monday.
The agency confronted the landlord, a convicted bank robber named DaRen Kareem "D" Gadsden, the indictment says. And though he denied any wrongdoing, he agreed to pay $1,400 to help cover the agency's loss.

I think this would be a good thread, so I posting to
Vox as well as emailing Zac.
Yes, get Linux.
As for a computer, unless you need your computer in
class or lab, save the money and don't get a laptop. A
cheap deskop (300MHZ or faster, 128MB RAM, 4GB HD, 17"
monitor) will be enough to do papers and spread
sheets. New stuff will be 3x faster with 5x harddive
space, etc.
I've always built my own systems, but that doesn't
mean a prebuilt system with Linux installed is bad.
This can save a lot of time and frustraion. The hard
part is finding a vendor. We have Rod of
sunsetsystms.com in LUGOD and Wal-Mart's web site has
computers without operation systems (see the Microtel
page). Also, several of the Linux magazines have adds
for preinstalled Linux systems. I prefer to build my
own from scrap and surplus parts. I guess I just
eccentric (or cheap).
As for the flavor of Linux, here's my opinions and
comments on several distributions
1. Mandrake - It's easy to install, needs little
tweaking for default set up. Good for a beginner to
2. RedHat - It's popular in the comercial linux world.
I'm currently using it at work and folks like IBM and
HP are pushing it.
3. Debian - If you want to get intimate with your
system, this appears to be the one for you. It also
has the advantage that several LUGODers are very
familiar it.
So, depending on what you want to do, I can give more

Nonetheless, some standard upkeep suggestions are highly recommended, considering that it not only functions to your advantage yet likewise makes it easier for the repair work agent when you make use of appliances carefully.

United statement
England have to hit the ground running, but it won't be easy against a well-drilled USA side, says Jamie Redknapp.Back to story

Is it only me but isn't those loud and stupid horns being blown constantly ruining the watching of he games. How can you watch a game with the sound turned down. I'm afraid this will ruin the whole spectacle of the world cup as the fans of other coutries are being drowned out.

Hi re- USA match 1stly Gerrard shud not b captain it shud b given back 2 Terry. Gerrard & Lampard do NOT play well 2gether - NEVER HAVE - Gerrard gets in the way of other players & his passing % is poor.. Errors always happen but in other teams the outfield players & strikers seem 2 score more goals. I think we shud av an English manager. Capello got all wrong with Milner (who cud av been sent off) & King. Why did he take Wharnock (6mins 4 his cap) & not Walcot. Why did the team not utilise the prower & strength on the flanks. In the end team passion is seriously laking. Nigel Guest

Philip Boulton (Birmingham City fan) says...
Having now watched the england game and seen a lacklustre performance with a 1-1 scoreline which the u.s.a. deserved l would like to say how impressed with Wayne Rooney l was seeing him keep his temper in check and not being helped by the referee, booking Gerrard for playing the the ball with his foot ?? and doing nothing when Heskey headed the ball and got a knee in the face ?? .This is what happens when the ruling body F.I.F.A. shows it,s bias against anything English. All l say is it is going to be a hard slog but England will do it we will probably have every player booked due to interferancefrom the head of fifa but what the hell prove them wrong and WIN it.

Dean Pinnington (Liverpool fan) says...
Yes Robert Green has failed us, but what concerned me beyond soft lad is that England's control of the ball was terrible. Technical inefficiencies have let us down on the biggest stage, Robert Green produced a school boy error by not positioning his body correctly, and Sean WP stood out for his inability to control the ball enough times so that we could build considered attacks. The passion is there, but the basics don't appear to be.

Kevn Higginbottom (Arsenal fan) says...
Post game comments...spookily prophetic insight into the outcome Jamie! USA proved a formidable opponent, although England outplayed them. This game should be a good awakening for the next two. This tie may turn out to be a good thing. Sure hope so!

England Suck (Manchester United fan) says...
when are you going to get it into your thick heads england are far from the best team in this tournament they do not have the very best players in the world if they did then why exactly is it that i struggle to name more than one maybe two englishmen to make anything of an impact in any other leage in the world?! you no it to be true! love you x

Dave Larkman (Hull City fan) says...
Being a Hull City fan and a USA citizen, I have watched Altidore a lot yes he did not score many goals but he gave many a center back the run around including John Terry. He is as least as good as Heskey another non goal scorer.
Posted 17:46 12th June 2010
Anth Harrison (Sunderland fan) says...
The best defence is attack and England are are notorious for not being able to hold on to a 1-0. so i reckon the lads need to go out all guns blazing and show the rest of the world that we mean the biz. I´m living in Germany at the moment and alot of my German friends reckon we´re gonna do it this time and so do i and so should you!! C´MON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets hope we can enjoy the game without those annoying vuvuzelas horns which are killing the atmosphere. Fifa has to do something about it...

H Thompson (Arsenal fan) says...
Lets be realistic and give USA the respect they deserve. They are a workmalike team, and Donovan and Dempsey are capable of moments of magic. However there are some seriously weak links. Onyewu, Spector, Altidore have all tried their hand at the Prem and look third rate. USA have a chance because they're well organised and they work hard, but man for man England totally outclass them. Capello has them well organised and they've been training at high altitude 15mins from the stadium for a full week. England should win by two goals.
Posted 11:48 12th June 2010
Kevin Bell (West Ham United fan) says...
I am in agreement with the attack minded 4-4-2 formation for the USA game. I am by no means saying that we should take the US lightly, as they have shown in the Fed Cup, but England are the better side with better players and a top notch coach! I predict England 2 USA 0, COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!

Joe Kesson (Manchester United fan) says...
I dont think is going to be an easy game but i believe we will win , we have some of the best players in the world at the momen , terry . gerrard , a cole , rooney so i think we can do it . We just need the boys to perform how they do against each other in the PL. this time ITS COMING HOME !!!!!

Jamie you mention heskey is rooneys preffered partner..is there a reason for this ,cos i would'nt partner him painting my house...he'd fall off the ladder..actually would make a good painter.he does something then stands back and admires it

looking foward to a great match tommarow with no injuries for either team go yanks!

Sam Rosado (Chelsea fan) says...
Seeing as how I can't sleep in anticipation of this match I wanted to see what they were saying across the pond. I'm glad to see the US getting those slivers of respect after the Confed run. But with that respect comes increased challenges as teams actually take you seriously in matches now. I have no doubt England will bring their all against us. Wishful thinking would have the US win 2-1. Realistically though, I agree with most of the commenters with a 2-2 draw. As far as how far the US will go. Again, wishful thinking would have the US reach 3rd place. Realistically I can see the US making it to the quarterfinals if we play at the top of our game without a moment of relaxation....

Ben Godfrey (Leeds United fan) says...
Jamie. Im an american man and I think that we will beat you tomorrow. Landon Donovan has been outstanding for LA Galaxy and I think with Ledley King at the back, he has every chance to smash in a goal or two. 3-1 USA, Woop Woop
Posted 04:44 12th June 2010
Josh M (AFC Wimbledon fan) says...
USA!! I think the Yanks have a pretty good shot to get a point out of this.
Posted 04:25 12th June 2010
Matt Hollis (Manchester United fan) says...
The problem you mention Jamie, regarding Jamo's concentration, Hart and Green have also had to concentrate all game every game for their clubs, so what are their concentrations going to be like after long periods of inactivity. And to the rest of you guys, Capello is the manager, he knows what he's doing and is paid well to do so. Stop thinking you know better, none of you could lead Real Madrid to the La Liga title after long years on Barca dominance. That's exactly the kind of man I want in charge of my country, go Capello! COME ON YOU THREE LIONS!!!!

EVER since H5N1 bird flu spread across Eurasia last year, battle has raged between those who blame it all on migrating wild birds and others who reckon it's the poultry. In fact it was both.
Marm Kilpatrick of the Consortium for Conservation Medicine in New York and colleagues analysed how the virus travelled by comparing H5N1 gene sequences against volumes of bird trade and migration. They found that the poultry trade explains the virus's spread in Asia but migration explains it in Europe (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.0609227103). The analysis suggests that H5N1 could invade the Americas by various routes - meaning the US should be testing different birds.

text: The Wong wiki last edited by The_Tree on 11/01/14 05:26AM View full history Origin Wong was brought to the Ancient One when he was only 4 years old by his father, Hamir the Hermit. While there he became a martial arts master, but doesn't get a chance to practice much as a manservant. Upon reaching adulthood, Wong was sent to America to serve Dr. Strange. While there, Strange has become the new Sorcerer Supreme.CreationWong was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and first appeared in Strange Tales #110 (1963). Mayor Story ArcsShadowqueenLater Wong was captured by an other-dimensional sorcerer called the Shadowqueen. Dr. Strange rescued Wong, who helped him defeat her.TopazWong and Doctor StrangeWong and Topaz were then captured by Urthona, in an effort to obtain certain mystic talismans and texts. While there Wong was tortured and disfigured by the fiend. To rescue them, Strange attempted to destroy the artifacts but instead sent the to Agamotto. With the artifacts no longer on Earth, an ancient spell was lifted that protected Earth from various, powerful entities.Strange then cast a spell to make everyone think he was dead, leaving Wong in charge of his estate. During this period Strange defeated many of the creatures freed by the missing artifacts, like Shuma-Gorath. After Strange defeated Shuma-Gorath, he reversed the spell. Wong was overjoyed to see his master was still alive. Soon the rest of the world learned Strange was still alive.Bride of WongWhen Imei Chang, Wong's intended bride, was turned into a horrible demonic creature, Wong asked Strange for help. Unfortunately Strange was tied up with other, more pressing matters. This resulted in a small falling out between Wong and Strange. When Strange eventually had the time to aid his long time ally, he found that Imei was dead and that this was just a creature imitating her.Powers and AbilitiesWong has no superhuman powers, he has great knowledge about the magical and supernatural world. He is also very adept in martial arts having trained Dr. Strange in them. Even Strange himself said 'In some areas he's my servant, in others, my master'. Meaning that Wong trained him.

Am I required to attend Orientation?
Yes, Orientation is required for all new students. It is essential that you attend Orientation so that you can learn about the academic program, receive academic advising, and register for classes.
Are my parents required to attend Orientation?
We encourage, but do not require, parents to attend Orientation. Due to space limitations, each student is limited to a maximum of two parents or guests.
When does Orientation begin and end?
Orientation check-in begins at 7:30am on the first day of your Orientation Session. You will be permitted to check-out on the second day of your Orientation Session around 3:30pm. Students are required to attend the entire two-day session and are not permitted to leave campus for the duration of the program. Early departure may interfere with your ability to register for fall quarter classes. We advise you to not make air travel arrangements that require a departure before 6:00pm from any of the Bay Area airports.
For parents attending Orientation, your schedule of activities will end around 5:15pm on the first day of the Orientation Session and, similarly to the students, around 3:30pm on the second day of the Orientation Session.
When can I make my Orientation reservation?
New freshmen should make their reservations for Summer Orientation via eCampus beginning March 1, 2012 - May 1, 2012. Transfer students may make their Fall Orientation reservations beginning May 2, 2012 - June 15, 2012.
What are the fees for Orientation and how do I pay these fees?
Freshmen students are charged a one-time $290 program fee which covers the cost of both Summer Orientation and Welcome Weekend. This fee covers meals, lodging, materials, publications, activities, and administrative costs. Parents or guests are charged a one-time $120 program fee per person which covers the cost of all meals, materials, and activities (lodging is not included) for both Parent Orientation and Welcome Weekend.
Transfer students are charged a one-time $130 program fee, which covers the costs of both Transfer Orientation and Welcome Weekend.

For parents or guests who only attend Welcome Weekend, the cost of the program is $20 per person.
How can I change my Orientation reservation?
We are only able to change reservations in extraordinary circumstances and based on space availability. If you need to change your reservation, please contact us as soon as possible at firstname.lastname@example.com.

We are able to add parents or guests to your reservation at any time including check-in. However, if you need to remove a parent/guest from your reservation, you must do so at least TWO BUSINESS DAYS prior to the session you are attending or you will be charged the full parent/guest fee.

Yes. All students, including students planning to live off campus in the fall, are rquired to stay overnight in the residence hall during their Orientation session.

Can I arrive early or stay late after a session?
We understand the challenge in making travel plans for Summer Orientation. Therefore, we will provide housing for those students who arrive one day early or need to stay one day later for their Summer Orientation session at no additional charge. If you need extended housing, please contact us at least FIVE DAYS prior to your session at email@example.com and include your name, student ID number, cell phone number, and flight information.
Am I permitted to leave campus during Orientation?
Because Summer Orientation is an important academic and social experience, full student participation is needed. Students are not permitted to leave campus at any time during the two-day session.
If I attend a later Orientation session, will I have difficulty registering for classes?
The Office of the Registrar divides the number of seats available in each first-year course evenly among all Orientation sessions. Therefore, each student should have equal chance to obtain courses that fulfill both major requirements and the Core Curriculum.
What should I bring to Orientation?When packing for Summer Orientation, please include the following items:
I can't find the parking permit that was sent to me. What should I do?
Parking permits were sent in the packet that came with your Orientation Confirmation Letter. If you have misplaced this information, please stop at the Main Gate Kiosk when you arrive on campus to obtain a permit.
Do I need to take the Calculus Readiness or Language Placement exam?
Information about these two exams including who needs to take them and a link to the exams can be found here. These exams should be completed prior to your orientation session.
Where can I find the health insurance waiver?

Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the real Arctic Sunrise. The most
famously rolling of the Greenpeace ships. Picture a giant half egg
floating in the ocean - that's basically us.
Our ship's hull was built
without a keel so it won't be crushed if trapped the ice, but that
doesn't improve the crew's comfort level in rough sea.
Not to throw
numbers at you, but on the wind/sea scales, here's how it's gone so far
today: 7/7, 8/6, 7-8/6, 7/6. The Beaufort wind scale goes up to 12.
Eight is classified as a "fresh gale", which sounds pleasant enough, but
means up to 40-knot winds. The sea state scale only goes up to nine,
and at seven the seas are officially "high", meaning 12-20 foot waves.
In reality it wasn't too rough for most of today, but when we turned and
started taking the swell on the beam (from the side) it certainly woke
me up.
Fortunately, the deckhands were busy yesterday, and last
night, making sure things are properly tied down. In a way, a little
rough weather like this can be a good thing as it makes you appreciate
calm seas all the more when you have them.
Ice is nice
That said, we are all happy to have reached the ice edge again since a
blanket of ice calms the waves. We're now about 50 miles from the mouth
of Kangerlussuaq fjord, and just starting to wind our way in through the
sea ice along the coast.
The water here is lovely calm, and in the
distance I can see Gunnbjø Feld, Greenland's tallest mountain.
With the sea ice you also find more seals and the like. I'm up on the
bridge with my laptop. Arne and Cath (both on watch) have spotted two
seals just while I've been writing this. Time, I think, to turn off my
computer, and spend some a while this Sunday evening seal spotting myself.
- Andrew
[I snapped the photo above from the bridge. That's spray coming over the
bow, and up the anchor pipe.]
that is sooo wild, i'd love to go on a boat that has totally rip waves. a couple of waves? haha i'd love to go on the deck of the boat. it must have been a great experience seeing seals in their natural habitats. who knows maybe one day i will. well keep in touch with ya adventures.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
When I first heard about this game I was like, "How can that be fun?" I ignored it for the longest time then the price dropped and I heard a lot of good things about it, played it and found it to be, well made and well thought.

From June 22-28, more than 200 high school juniors from across the state converged on campus to attend the 25th Annual American Legion Boys State. During Boys State, the students learned how state and municipal governments operate. They set up and ran mock town, city and state elections and engage in role-playing where towns are represented, with mayors lobbying legislators and representatives and senators debating and enacting legislation.
At graduation, Ed Osborn, Eastern's director of university relations, encouraged the young men to participate in political dialogue; ask probing questions of each other; and to begin voting as soon as they turned 18. "This is a fundamental right in this country that many people died for and a right that many people in other lands can only dream of. Learn about the issues and vote in your local, state and national elections. This is your duty as a member of our democracy." Above, Sinclair Bush, of Burlington, talking discusses a bill with Nick Baldwin, of Torrington and Eric Brown, of Groton.

It covers 700,176 acres (1,094.0 sq mi; 2,833.5 km2) and is located just north of the densely inhabited metropolitan area of Los Angeles.
A small part extends eastward into southwestern San Bernardino County, in the Mount San Antonio ("Mount Baldy") area. A tiny section also extends westward into northeastern Ventura County, in the Lake Piru area. Forest headquarters are in Arcadia, California.
The Angeles National Forest manages the habitats, flora and fauna ecosystems, and watersheds. Some of the rivers with watersheds within its boundaries provide valuable non-groundwater recharge water for Southern California. The existing protected and restored native vegetation absorb and slow surface runoff of rainwater to minimize severe floods and landslides in adjacent communities.[2] The land within the Forest is diverse, both in appearance and terrain. Elevations range from 1,200 to 10,064 ft (365 to 3,067 m). The Pacific Crest Trail crosses the forest.

Natural history[edit]
The San Gabriel Forest Reserve was established on December 20, 1892, the San Bernardino Forest Reserve on February 25, 1893, and the Santa Barbara Forest Reserve on December 22, 1903. They became National Forests on March 4, 1907, and they were combined on July 1, 1908, with all of the San Bernardino forest and portions of San Gabriel forest and Santa Barbara forest composing the new Angeles National Forest. On September 30, 1925, portions of the Angeles National Forest and the Cleveland National Forest were detached to re-establish the San Bernardino National Forest.[3]
Angeles National Forest is registered as California Historical Landmark #717, for being the first National Forest in the state.[1]
The campgrounds at Broken Blade, Twisted Arrow and Pima Loops were closed on July 26, 2013 after squirrel infected with bubonic plague was discovered.[4]
Station wildfire[edit]
More than 161,000 acres (650 km2) of the forest were burned by an arson fire that began on August 26, 2009, near Angeles Crest Highway in La Cañada and quickly spread, fueled by dry brush that had not burned for over 150 years. The fire burned for more than a month and was the worst in Los Angeles County history, charring one-fourth of the forest (250 square miles), displacing wildlife, and destroying 91 homes, cabins and outbuildings and the family-owned Hidden Springs cafe. During the fire, two firefighters died after driving off the Mt.Gleason County Road looking for an alternate route to get the inmates out at Camp 16.
The "Station Fire" threatened the Mount Wilson Observatory atop Mt. Wilson. The site includes two telescopes, two solar towers, and transmitters for 22 television stations, several FM radio stations, and police and fire department emergency channels.
Fires in 2012[edit]
Several fires occurred during 2012, burning hundreds of acres across the forest-covered mountain range.
Plant life and geography[edit]
Much of this National Forest is covered with dense chaparral shrub forests with oak woodlands, which changes to pine and fir-covered slopes in the higher elevations.
Tree species for which the forest is important include bigcone Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga macrocarpa), Coulter Pine (Pinus coulteri), and California Walnut (Juglans californica). The National Forest also contains some 29,000 acres (12,000 ha) of old growth, with: Jeffrey Pine (Pinus jeffreyi) forests and mixed conifer forests (Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii), Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa), and White Fir (Abies concolor)), and Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta) the most abundant types.[5]
Wilderness areas[edit]
The Angeles National Forest contains five nationally-designated wilderness areas. Two of these also extend into neighboring San Bernardino National Forest:
- Cucamonga Wilderness (mostly in San Bernardino NF)
- Magic Mountain Wilderness
- Pleasant View Ridge Wilderness
- San Gabriel Wilderness
- Sheep Mountain Wilderness (partly in San Bernardino NF)
A National Forest Adventure Pass is required for parking at many locations in the Angeles National Forest and other National Forests in Southern California, and this can be obtained online or from visitor centers and local merchants.[6] Los Angeles County has declared that passes are not required on county-maintained roads. There are also many other areas that do not require the pass.

Replying to: Treo 800w better than BB Curve? by will54880
Re: Treo 800w better than BB Curve?
Treo is a much better option for someone looking for both media and Data capable phones. BB has more of a business only feel while Palm has both. Dont get me wrong curve is a nice phone but if I had a choice palm hands down. Here's why better apps, Touch screen display and keypad, more program memory more than double the BB Curve 96 to 256mb which will come in handy big time when adding programs or apps or even ringers, Wi-fi capatible nuff said BB curve does not, infrared ir not support on BB curve, better support from palm, Text templates, and better sound and video quality.

What's in fish that could make a person sick?
There are two types of food poisoning that come from eating fish. Probably the most common worldwide is scombroid poisoning. Scombroid usually results from eating ocean fish of the scombroid family, including tuna, albacore, mackerel, bonito, and skipjack. Occasionally, non-scombroid fish such as bluefish, mahi mahi and marlin have been implicated.
The poisoning is thought to develop in fish that have been allowed to remain at room temperature for a number of hours, particularly if they are not cleaned, or cleaned poorly. It appears that organisms in the fish's intestines cause a change in the amino acids of the dark meat, producing an excess of histamine in the flesh. Other chemicals may also be involved. These toxins are not broken down by freezing, cooking, smoking or canning. Outbreaks have occurred after eating both fresh and canned fish.
Scromboid poisoning usually causes symptoms within a few minutes or an hour, including flushing, dizziness, burning around the mouth, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, itching, and hives. The symptoms generally subside within a few hours. Although the poisoning has many features of an allergy, and can be relieved by antihistamines, it is not an allergy to the fish itself. Eating the same type of fish again will not cause a recurrence, unless that fish also happens to be contaminated with the toxic agent.
The other food poisoning attributable to fish is called ciguatera poisoning. Again, it results from a toxin that is not produced by the fish itself, but by tiny algae that are eaten by small fish low on the food chain, which are then eaten by larger fish, etc., until they reach a high concentration in fish at the top of the food chain such as barracuda, snapper, grouper, and amberjack. Ciguatera occurs only in fish caught in the tropics, so most cases are reported in Florida, the Caribbean, and Hawaii, though tropical fish shipped to the northern U.S. cause occasional cases. The toxin is colorless and tasteless, and does not develop because of improper handling or refrigeration of the fish: Its presence depends entirely on what the fish itself had been eating. The toxin survives freezing and cooking.
Symptoms may appear in a few minutes, but can be delayed for up to a day. Nausea, vomiting, cramps and diarrhea are most common. Itching and odd sensations around the mouth, as well as a peculiar reversal of sensation, so that hot things feel cold and vice versa, help to make the diagnosis. The symptoms may last as long as a week, but deaths are rare.
There are a number of parasites that are transmitted by eating raw or undercooked fish. They are common in Asia, where raw fish is often consumed, and have been seen more frequently in the U.S. since sushi became popular. Most parasites are found in fresh water fish, although some can be found in ocean fish, too. All the parasites can be killed by adequate cooking, or by commercial freezing.

Non-immigrant students, F-1 or J-1 visa holders, may work on campus up to a maximum of 20 hours while school is in session and full time during official school breaks and vacation. F-1 or J-1 students are allowed to work in the US but only under certain conditions and in accordance with complex guidelines and restrictions issued by the United States Citizen and Immigration Service (USCIS). Generally, all employment is contingent on remaining within the terms and restrictions of the student's immigration status.
On-campus employment is defined as working for Saginaw Valley State University. This includes work performed for on-campus commercial firms which provide services for students on campus, such as the school bookstore or dining services. Employment for on-campus commercial firms, which do not provide direct student services such as a construction company building a school building, is not deemed on campus employment or work that takes place at another school. These would require employment authorization. Students should discuss employment authorization with an Office of International Programs (OIP) advisor for any employment opportunity that involves an employer other than Saginaw Valley State University. Please note that International students are only eligible for Regular Student Employment (RSE) jobs, not Michigan Work Study (MWS) or Federal Work Study (CWS) jobs.
Have you been offered a job on-campus? See the International Checklist (43kB) for the offices and documents required.
CPT is employment that is an integral part of an established curriculum and is directly related to the student's major area of study. Examples include CO-OP programs or internships.
CPT Information Page >>
Co-Op & Internship Requirments >>
F-1 students are eligible for 12 months of full or part-time off campus employment using OPT with an Employment Authorization Document (EAD card) (work authorization) approved by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USICS).
Optional Practical Training (OPT) is an opportunity for students to gain experience by working off-campus for a limited amount of time in a position related to their area of study. Permission for OPT also requires application to, and approval from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Students who graduate are eligible to work anywhere in the USA for 12 months in a job related to their studies by applying to INS for OPT.

BURTON ALBION PLAY-OFF BUILD-UP: Lee Bell's weekly Brewers column
Posted: May 11, 2014|
THE play-offs are just around the corner and we're all massively excited for the game on Sunday.
I hope the fans are as excited as we are, because they can make a huge difference.
It would be brilliant if they come out in numbers because we really need the fans – we really need their colour and we want to see everyone wearing yellow.
We've got the first leg at home, which some might see as a disadvantage, but I don't.
There's no away goals rule, so you've got to play two games however it works out and we've just got to score more goals than them.
We have got a good record away from home, but we can't start thinking about that yet, we've just got to concentrate on Sunday's game, put all our priorities on that, and then start thinking about the next leg once that job is done.
Obviously we lost to Southend last Saturday, but I don't think that has any bearing on the play-offs.
I think both teams were trying one or two new things and it was a chance for the managers to try and suss each other out more than anything.
(Southend boss) Phil Brown is an excellent manager and he'll have warned his players against getting complacent after beating us last weekend.
But we only want to concentrate on our own game, and if we do that, we will be fine.
We had our player awards night on Tuesday and it was a fantastic night – completely different to at any other club I've been at.
Ian Sharps and Damien McCrory took the main two awards (fans' player of the year and players' player of the year respectively) and they were thoroughly deserved.
They could have been the other way around, or one of them could have taken both the awards, that's how superb they've been this season.
They are the best players at the club, I'd say.
Damien sometimes doesn't get the credit he deserves, and I think he could have won the award last season as well, amongst the boys.
Speaking to the other lads, I think he got the majority of the votes, and he really deserves it.
Strikers usually get these awards, so it's good that two defenders have won them for us – for obvious reasons this season.
It's a shame that Damien and Jimmy Phillips will be missing for the play-offs, but Chris Hussey came back last week and did really well.
He's been unlucky with the form of other players, but he's been out on loan to Bury, worked really hard and hopefully we will reap the rewards of that in the next three games.
It's a great opportunity for the club, and it's not every year that this will happen.
Hopefully the fans will be loud and proud and stick with the boys whatever happens.
Come on you Brewers!

How's about posting the Census CDP map for North New Hyde Park?
North New Hyde Park is a census-designated place (CDP) in Nassau County, New York, United States. The population was 14,542 at the 2000 census.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 2.0 square miles (5.1 km²), all land.
There were 5,032 households out of which 32.5% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 68.9% were married couples living together, 9.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 19.4% were non-families. 17.9% of all households were made up of individuals and 12.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.89 and the average family size was 3.28.
In the CDP the population was spread out with 22.0% under the age of 18, 6.5% from 18 to 24, 25.4% from 25 to 44, 26.5% from 45 to 64, and 19.7% who were 65 years of age or older.

The fiscally prudent among you will be pleased to hear that the Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion will avoid road tax thanks to emissions of just 99g/km of carbon dioxide when it goes on sale this October.
That should leave you at least £30 better off, and the savings just keep on coming as this Polo manages an average fuel consumption of 74.3mpg.
This is achieved thanks to the Polo's slippery aerodynamics and efficient 1.4-litre three-cylinder engine, complete with turbocharger.
All very enticing, but the only problem is that if you want such heady luxuries as aircon and remote central locking, you'll need to get the higher-specced BlueMotion 2.
Not only does that add an extra £850 to the BlueMotion's none-too-budget £11,995 base price, it'll also bump emissions up to 104g/km. That means you'll have to pay road tax and, to add insult to injury, VW reckons you'll get 4mpg less economy.
So the big question is: can you cope without aircon to reap the financial (and environmental) benefits? It's a decision you'll have to sweat over...

my boyfriends balls hang lower than his penis when he is soft, but they are about the same when he's hard.
His Johnson hangs when he's erect???
- Show Older Hide Older
I don't know if I'd call it hanging, but some guys do point down when they are hard. I think that's probably what she meant.
Thanks gravygirl, it's exactly what I meant.
i find it ironic that he was not hard while sending you pics...my boyfriend gets hard justing thinking about doing that. anyway...i think it is completely normal for them to hang lower while he is flacid as compared to when he is erect. no worries.
My boyfriend says his penis is shy an gets soft when he brings out the camera lol
Have an opinion?

The Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE/ODIHR) has officially opened its mission for the observation of the parliamentary elections in Ukraine.
"The upcoming elections will be an important challenge for Ukraine from the viewpoint of democracy, and they will be held according to the new law," the head of the mission, Audrey Glover, said at a press conference in Kyiv on Wednesday.
She said that 20 experts from the organization will work in Kyiv, and 90 long-term observers will work all over Ukraine. The ODIHR will employ 600 short-term observers to watch the process of counting votes on the voting day.
Glover thanked the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine for sending an invitation to observers in advance, as this will allow the mission to monitor the election campaign and the situation on October 28 and after the day of vote.
The ODIHR mission is planning to publish two intermediate reports and make a statement with preliminary conclusions on the election process on the day after the vote, while the final report will be published within two months of the completion of the parliamentary elections in Ukraine.
She added that the mission would pay special attention to use of administrative leverage, as well as the free work of the media during the elections.
When asked how the mission evaluates the fact that convicted formed Ukrainian Premier Yulia Tymoshenko and former Interior Minister of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko were not included on the party list of the united opposition, Glover said that equal electoral rights are a must of democratic elections. According to her, the mission will read instructions of PACE and the European Parliament, and will take these documents into account while drawing up its conclusions.
