12/16/14 Jennifer Aniston Talks About Fertility
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, December 16, 2014
KIM KARDASHIAN posted a selfie with her daughter North cropped out, and her followers let her have it . . . calling her selfish and narcissistic. But she Tweeted, quote, "Wait is this really news that I posted a selfie & cropped my daughter out? LOL . . . Her eyes were closed and I was feeling my look! Can I live?!?!"
And just so you know, Elsa from "Frozen" was named the Most Influential Fictional Characters Of 2015 by Time Magazine... and Kim Kardashian's avatar from her mobile game came in second.
A recent survey found that the "most liked" celebrity of the year is Morgan Freeman. Tom Hanks is second, followed by Sandra Bullock and Betty White. 1,100 people ages 13 to 49 were surveyed.
Lindsay Lohan says she will never return to Los Angeles to live. Lohan is currently living in London after performing in the play, "Speed-the-Plow." During a recent interview, she was asked if she had any plans to return to the West Coast, and said, "I won't live again in L.A. Hell no."
Jennifer Aniston has been the target of numerous rumors concerning her fertility for years, but now she's fighting back. The 45-year-old tells Allure magazine, "I don't like (the pressure) that people put on me, on women -- that you've failed yourself as a female because you haven't procreated. I don't think it's fair. You may not have a child come out of your vagina, but that doesn't mean you aren't mothering -- dogs, friends, friends' children."
12/12/14 Chirs & Gwyneth Back Together??
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, December 12, 2014
There may be beef between ABIGAIL BRESLIN and TAYLOR SWIFT . . . because yesterday Abigail seemed to take a shot at Taylor, by Tweeting one of her lyrics from "Blank Space". But instead of "'Cause darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream" . . . she said, quote, "'Cause darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like an EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE CAT LADY." Abigail didn't elaborate, and Taylor hasn't responded.
ARIANA GRANDE is denying a recent tabloid report that she makes her staff CARRY HER AROUND LIKE A BABY whenever she doesn't feel like walking. She was even doing it at the rehearsals for the "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show". Ariana's rep says the story is FAKE. But there might be proof that it's not . . . on Ariana's own Instagram feed. A picture Ariana posted 9 months ago shows her being carried. And the caption says, quote, "Long shoot day yesterday, couldn't walk or keep my eyes open by the time we finished. Gonna be a beautiful video!"
Chris Martin is allegedly rekindling things with estranged wife Gwyneth Paltrow! According to OK! Magazine, the couple recently reunited for a secret getaway to Texas. They were "inseparable" during the Dallas opening of a Goop store. "They tried to avoid the cameras, but he stuck to her like glue. There was a tenderness that you'd associate with a couple in love."
10/11/14 Kim K. is Crazy
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, December 11, 2014
Apparently, KIM KARDASHIAN gained a lot more weight than she should have during her pregnancy because GOD WAS MAD AT HER. That's what she told "Elle UK". She said, quote, "I'd think God was doing this for a reason. He was saying, 'Kim, you think you're so hot, but look what I can do to you.' My body just went crazy. After five months I swore I'd never get pregnant again. I got so huge and it felt like someone had taken over my body."
Pippa Middleton, whose butt became the stuff of headlines when she wore a form-fitting dress to the wedding of her sister Kate Middleton and Prince William, is weighing in on Kim Kardashian 's bare posterior. In a blog for London's Spectator, Pippa seems to give the reality show princess a thumbs down, saying, "No year is complete without a bottom story, and the 'Rear of 2014' award undoubtedly goes to Kim Kardashian, after her posterior exploded all over the Internet last month. I must say that mine -- though it has enjoyed fleeting fame -- is not comparable. The Kim butt story did make me pause. What is it with this American booty culture? It seems to me to be a form of obsession. Kim's aim, apparently, was to break the Internet, but I'm not sure she's going the right way about it."
A man who stole part of the Porsche that Paul Walker died in will spend six months in jail. The 26-year-old man and his 19-year-old friend stole a roof panel when a tow truck carrying the wreckage stopped at a red light. They were busted after they were caught on video. Also, the teen bragged about it by posting photos on Instagram and Twitter. The man was sentenced to six months in jail and the teen was sentenced to six months earlier this month.
12/10/14 Rihanna Preggers?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, December 10, 2014
The not-so-reliable MediaTakeOut.com says RIHANNA is pregnant. And they're 100% GUARANTEEING it's true . . . so there's that. There's no word who the dad is. Rihanna supposedly just found out days ago. They say Rihanna is working on a song for her new album where she'll talk about, quote, "the baby growing inside me." Also, she has BANNED ALL WEED SMOKING in the studio . . . which is totally uncharacteristic of her.
We'd heard that FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. was pretty shaken up after "witnessing" a murder-suicide on FaceTime Monday. But he wasn't too distraught to take in a basketball game. Later that night, he was at the Staples Center to watch the Clippers take on the Suns. Meanwhile, TMZ says Floyd may have been riling up his friend EARL HAYES in the moments before he shot and killed his wife STEPHANIE MOSELEY, then himself. Sources say he was telling Earl to leave her, and even called him WEAK for staying. Obviously, that doesn't mean Floyd CAUSED the murder-suicide.
LEBRON JAMES put his arm around KATE MIDDLETON during a photo op Monday night. Some British newspapers say this was a breach of royal protocol. But a Palace spokesman says Will and Kate want people to, quote, "address them in whatever way you feel most comfortable.
With each new day, the hackers who cyber attacked Sony reveal another secret or two. Yesterday, we learned two shocking pieces of insider gossip. Tom Cruise was once considered for the role in the still unreleased Steve Jobs bio-pic. Thankfully, that will never happen. That role has gone to Michael Fassbender. Also, not everyone is infatuated with Angelina Jolie. During an exceptionally bitter email exchange, a top-notch Academy Award-winning producer refused to work with Angie because she behaves like a "spoiled brat."
12/9/14 Kate Hudson Single Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, December 9, 2014
KATE HUDSON and MUSE singer MATT BELLAMY have called off their engagement. And everything else for that matter. They had been together for four years, and have a 3-year-old son named Bingham. Kate's rep says, quote, "Kate and Matt have been separated for some time now. Despite this, they remain very close friends and committed co-parents."
DIDDY beat up DRAKE outside a Miami nightclub. Sources say it was over Drake using some of his music without permission. Two sources said Drake went to the HOSPITAL, possibly with a dislocated shoulder.
Boxer FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. witnessed a murder-suicide on FaceTime yesterday morning. His friend, a rapper named EARL HAYES, shot and killed his actress-wife STEPHANIE MOSELEY, before turning the gun on himself. When it happened, Floyd was on FaceTime with Hayes, begging him to calm down. It's not clear what Floyd actually saw, but he definitely heard the whole thing.

The Executive Secretary Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), Mr. Reginald Stanley, Thursday y made a fresh case for the deregulation of the downstream sector of the oil industry to attract the needed investments that would boost the nation's economy.
Stanley, who spoke at the oil trading and logistics conference in Lagos, also put total investments in the downstream sector at about N500 billion.
He said the low performance of the nation's four refineries had resulted in the massive importation of refined petroleum products with its attendant unsustainable subsidy burden.
The PPPRA boss expressed regret that fuel subsidy does not benefit the lower income section of the economy for which it was intended, but instead encourages cross border smuggling of petroleum products.
"Over N2 trillion was expended on products subsidy in 2011 alone, which is 55 per cent more than the 2011 capital budget expenditure. However, fuel subsidies are not reaching intended beneficiaries because higher income households consume more quantities of petroleum products than lower income household.
"Fuel subsidies also encourage waste of limited government revenue available for social services e.g. infrastructure, education, health services and others," he said.
Stanley expressed optimism that the liberalisation of the downstream sector would ultimately bring the much needed sanity and healthy competition into the Nigeria's downstream sector.
He said: "Deregulation will guarantee steady inflow of investments and better management of national foreign reserves resulting in more stable forex market. It will mitigate the initial spiralling inflationary effects by monitoring the micro and macroeconomic indices. This will enable interventions by the government to put in place mechanisms to monitor and control food prices, transportation costs and others. It will rapidly improve power situation and aggressively promote gas, biofuel as alternative energy for the country."
According to him, there is a huge gap in demand-supply balance and therefore there is the need for additional investment to bridge the space.
"Three additional Greenfield refineries and a petrochemical plant with a total capacity of 300,000 bpd for $23 billion have been proposed. Nigeria is therefore being positioned as the future hub of petroleum products supply in the West African and Sub Saharan regions," he added.
He also noted that the country has limited import reception facilities, such as jetties, adding, "It is expected that adequate import reception facilities will reduce the demurrage exposure experienced in products handling."
The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mr. Andrew Yakubu, had at a recent energy conference in Lagos stated that for Nigeria to raise her Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to a level that could enable the country to join the top 20 economies by 2020, the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry must be deregulated to ensure inflow of investment.
Yakubu stated that the country should deregulate the downstream sector to have an efficient economy that would provide employment and encourage investments in different areas, so as to translate the country's endowed natural resource to economic development.
"You have seen what deregulation has done to the telecommunication. Telecommunication is a classical example. You have the policy; you have the Nigerian Communication Communications Commission (NCC), which does the regulating and you have the players," he said.
Yakubu said the current subsidy levels were unaffordable for the government and also represented poor use of public funds, which could be better deployed to investment in infrastructure or social safety net.
"Low prices lead to over-consumption of fuel relative to other countries at similar developmental level. Non-regulated diesel and regulated kerosene leads to distortions in consumptions; for instance, the use of petrol-powered mini buses rather than more efficient diesel-powered buses. Regulation encourages substantial black market and high degree of smuggling to neighbouring countries with higher fuel prices.
"Uncertain and poor regulation discourages potential investors along the value chain; such as refineries, infrastructure and retail," he said.

Temperatures to tumble into 20s; what about the weekend?
Published: Nov 08 2013 03:18:01 PM EST Updated On: Nov 08 2013 03:53:11 PM EST
Clear skies will allow temperatures to tumble into the middle 20s overnight. Thankfully, the wind will die down.
We'll remain dry through the weekend with a mix of clouds and sunshine overhead. High temperatures are expected to hold in the upper 40s and lower on Saturday followed by the middle 50s on Sunday.
Even though Sunday will be slightly warm than Saturday, it may still feel a bit cooler at times because of a gusty wind out of the west.
Mostly sunny skies will dominate across the area on Monday with temperatures topping out in the lower 50s.

Considering that we have a Monday night Pesach Passover Seder coming up, the worst possible scenario, I'm hoping and planning to G-d willing have the house all finished for the Holiday in less than four weeks' time.
One of the very basic things I have to do is to somehow finish all of the chametz and unsaveable/unsellable food that is in the freezer. So as has been my custom the past few years, I'm posting pictures of the freezer's innards. I just took out cooked chicken and meatloaf, which I'll serve this Shabbat. So, I guess it's good that I was too tired to invite guests. The aluminium pans you can see are cakes, which can be given on Purim. So, I'd say that my freezer is in relatively good shape with less than four weeks to go.
I hope that I'll get everything on one shelf and then clean the empty one, so I can start slowly stocking up on Kosher for Passover chicken etc when it's available right after Purim.

Yocheved, according to my plans I have about 3 1/2 weeks to get the house ready, or at least the kitchen. We aren't having the actual seder by us, but I'll be bringing some of the food.

Winter of Vodafone's discontent: 375k customers lost
Vodafone today revealed its total customer base declined by 375,000 over the past six months, with the besieged mobile telco still struggling to shake off poor customer sentiment stemming from its disastrous series of network outages in late 2010 and earlier this year, and a rash of re-classified customer numbers also taking their toll.
Speaking in a teleconference held today associated with the financial results of its part-owner Hutchison Telecommunications Australia (HTA), Vodafone (VHA) chief executive Nigel Dews said the past six months had been "challenging".
Most of the decline in customer numbers had come from a sharp drop of 347,000 prepaid customers over the period, he said, with Vodafone's underlying post-paid (plan) customers remaining unchanged. However, some of the numbers are not directly comparable, as Vodafone changed the way it accounted for certain types of customers in the quarter — for example, prepaid customers — to focus on how many are truly active.
"The net decline in total customer base includes adjustments contributing 110,000 to the overall decline, which were due to reporting improvements. This comprised a 32,000 reduction in the post-paid base and 78,000 reduction in the prepaid base," said Dews.
The news confirms a report last week by the Financial Review which stated the telco could have lost as many of 378,000 customers in the six months to the end of June. The telco now has about 7.2 million customers in total — with about 61.4 percent of Vodafone's own customers on post-paid plans (excluding customers of other mobile telcos which resell Vodafone's services).
The loss in customers also played out in the company's financial results, with HTA's 50 percent share of Vodafone's finances delivering it a loss of $78.2 million in the first half of 2011, compared with a profit of $17.9 million in the same period in 2010. This means Vodafone's loss as a whole for the period would be expected to be about $156.4 million for the period.
Some of that decline in profitability was driven by a $15.6 million decrease in interest income — but Vodafone today acknowledged most of it was due to its network and customer service issues experienced late last year and early this year.
Turning Vodafone around
To address its issues, Vodafone has embarked on a series of rolling network improvements, deploying new hardware using the 850MHz spectrum band also used by Telstra, as well as replacing a large number of other sites with new radio equipment from Chinese vendor Huawei.
Today, Dews said more than half of the 3G 850MHz rollout was now complete, with 788 new sites added to Vodafone's network, and a total of 1,000 new 850MHz sites slated to be built by the end of the year. 815 sites have been upgraded in general on the existing 2G and 3G networks, while a further 515 sites will have been upgraded by the end of the year, and 500 more built.
The Huawei radio replacement has kicked off in Canberra, Perth, Northern NSW and Tasmania, after it was tested in the Newcastle/Hunter and Central Coast regions north of Sydney. The Huawei rollout will be completed during 2012, and there are also other core network and transmission upgraded underway.
The company has also invested heavily in customer service, adding more than 300 customer service staff and introducing 24×7 support, as well as a number of other measures. As a result, complaints to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman had been "trending downward", Dews said, with total TIO complaints falling 36 percent between the first and second quarters of the year.
The integration of the Vodafone and HTA systems is more than half-way done, following the pair's merger to form VHA (which primarily trades using the Vodafone brand), and the retail store consolidation is now "largely completed", according to Dews. The telco is two thirds of the way through its program to refit and upgrade the Vodafone retail stores.
Despite all the improvements, Vodafone still expects to make a loss in its full year results, which will be announced in January 2012. However, it expects to improve its profitability in the second half of this year, and Dews was up-beat about the telco's outlook when asked about the issue of re-establishing trust.
"I think we're well on our way to doing that," he told media and analysts. He noted Vodafone had to respond responsibly to customers, have "no surprises" in its service delivery and "delight" customers with its offerings. "I think we're well on our way to achieving that," he said.

Yikes. Brand "Vodafone" can't be happy with this train wreck.
Net result? Not much customer movement but reporting the numbers more in line with reality. There's a lot of prepaid sim card activations out there that no one uses…I think it was more like a stocktake on customers…
Correct. More accurate title please Renai :-)
Vodafone greatly improved for about 3 months this year in Brisbane, bet now they're back to dropping calls again & 3G's far slower than the rest.
I can't figure out why we had a 3 month anomaly.

EGGY grab.
Had a nice little ride this morning. Found Mr Eggy tucked away under his rock:
He had a really nice view except is was a little hazy this morning:
And I am not making this up, but a Donkey was walking down the road right at the time I picked up Eggy.
He is to the left side of the picture. He did not walk past the bike, just turned and walked down around that guard rail.
I guess my Yellow bike scared him.
Not much activity in Oatman this morning:
I did find one local resident who was not afraid of Mr Eggy:
He is now safe in Kingman. More pictures tomorrow after work.
GEORGE, I live very close to you. I'm off Southern Ave, right behind the school. Maybe we could get together for breakfast sometime.

Hi lovelies! How was your weekend? It was mostly rainy and cold here (in the 40′s yesterday, brrr), but it ended up being the perfect excuse to stay indoors and work on the craft projects and house cleaning that I wanted to catch up on…including the Mother's Day printable that I'm planning to share with you in a day or two. I'm looking forward to that!
Speaking of Mother's day…here are a few of my recent favorites pinned on Pinterest that would make perfect DIY gifts for a craft-lovin' mama:

Gov. Bill Haslam led Johnson City's Christmas Parade Saturday afternoon, cruising through downtown on a bright red tractor, shouting "Merry Christmas" to the thousands of people lining the streets.
He was followed by a line of other politicians on tractors, including Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, state Sen. Rusty Crowe, Congressman Phil Roe, and Johnson City Mayor Ralph Van Brockin, who was wearing a Santa Claus outfit, topped with a big cowboy hat.
The floats and displays that followed with the parade were equally impressive. Swag bags were handed out ahead of time in anticipation for the candy and trinkets passed out by paraders.
For many parade veterans and first-timers, there were sights to see. In passing, there were live band performances, radio stations blasting music and marching bands from local schools performing their numbers. There were churches on display, dressing up in Christmas-related costumes, cheerleaders from elementary schools and East Tennessee State University, recent regional beauty pageant winners, fancy modified cars and businesses, all handing out goodies for the eager children with open bags.
The Wellness Center representatives were rocking Duck Dynasty-style beards as they passed through the city streets, as one onlooker jokingly screamed that he wasn't buying it.
Some on the sides of the streets were getting the most enjoyment out of watching other people enjoy the parade.
Mark and Ruth Boggs, of Johnson City, said they've been coming to the event for almost 30 years, and remember bringing their children, who have since grown up, years ago.
Ruth Boggs said it was the most fun for them to watch the nearly one dozen happy children across the street from their position.
"We love seeing the bands, and to see the kids enjoying it all," Boggs said.
The temperatures were low, but that's the way the Boggs like it, saying that it reminds them more of Christmas than if it were warmer.
Jennifer Bervin, of Insight Alliance, an anti-drug coalition in Washington County, was using the cool temperatures to bring smiles to faces before the parade. She was handing out free cups of hot coffee and hot chocolate in front of her agency's storefront, even going as far as to deliver the drinks down the sidewalk.
Each float and group that passed had something different to offer, with the Johnson City Public Library representatives pushing book carts that had been wrapped up like presents, the Science Hill ROTC program performing in military garb and many more.
Local businesses were displaying daily specials in front of their shops, and there were roving vendors, too, selling toys and cotton candy.
Mike and Kim McConnell, two ETSU students, had seen many parades before, but were excited to see Johnson City's for the first time, saying they expected something new that they'd never seen before.
"Johnson City is not that big, but it's unique," Mike McConnell said. "You see a lot of people here, from a lot of different backgrounds."
The route of the parade brought the activities through the downtown streets and then back to ETSU's campus, where the completion of the parade kickstarted another event — the Winter Celebration just behind the administrative building.
ETSU's clocktower set the mood with its bells ringing out Christmas tunes, and the entire height of it was strewn with lights, as were the columns to the administrative building.
Through doors behind the tower, in the administrative building, there was a familiar holiday face, that of Santa Claus. He, with the help of his elves, offered opportunities for children and parents alike to take photos with him.
With his busy season in full swing, he offered a message to Johnson City youth.
"It's nice to be here, and very nice to see all the nice little boys and girls," Claus said. "I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas."
The Maxsons were the first family to snap photos with Santa, and were happy to take part in the Winter Celebration. Brian and Jennifer's four-year-old daughter, Alex, pronounced to them that she was looking forward to the food.
Just outside was a white top tent where people could get free hot chocolate, coffee and a variety of cookies. After getting a cup of something warm, the popular spot to be was in the tent next to a tower heater, a spot student Kaitlin Hensley called amazing. In typical holiday fashion, carols were sung for those celebrating.
Jeff Cogburn, another student, said he was the man picked to read a Christmas story to the group, and was excited to have such an event on campus.
"I believe doing things like this do well to pull in members of the community, and that's something that ETSU excels at," he said.

Teen Mom
Alexandria Sekella Reveals Her Biggest First Date Turn-Off
Teen Mom 3's Alexandria Sekella is single and ready to mingle, but she just can't seem to put the past in the past! Alex had a notoriously awful breakup with her baby daddy, Matt, and his drug addiction and disinterest in their daughter, Arabella, has caused tons of drama in her life.
Poor Alex is trying to get over her deadbeat ex, but her potential boyfriends keep bringing up their relationship! "Hey guys DO NOT ask a girl about her baby daddy drama on a first date TURN OFF!!!! Blah I don't wanna date anymore," Alex tweeted on January 13, adding "like I'm going on a date with you to get away from the stress don't bring it with ya DAH LOL."
Let's be real, we'd want to hear all about Alexandria's relationship with Matt if we had the chance to sit down and chat with her, but it hardly makes for a romantic dinner conversation. Unless your idea of romance is gabbing about orange-haired dudes who have a passionate love for tie-dye.

The large scale studies of Combined Electrolysis and Catalytic Exchange (CECE) process in Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute showed a complicated influence of various factors on the process caused by the presence of two simultaneous isotope exchange sub processes: counter-current phase exchange (between liquid water and water vapour) and co-current catalytic exchange (between hydrogen gas and water vapour). A laboratory scale set-up of glass made apparatuses was established in such a way that it allows us to study phase and catalytic exchange apart. A computer model of the set-up has been developed.The catalytic isotope exchange model formulation is presented. A collection of reversible chemical reactions is accompanied by diffusion of the gaseous reactants and reaction products in the pores of catalyst carrier. This has some interesting features that are demonstrated. Thus it was noted that the flow rates ratio (gas to vapour - = G/V) as well as the concentrations of reactants exert influence on the process efficiency.

Grails is a high productivity framework for JVM, based on Groovy language. It has been around since 2006. Since then, innumerable sites have successfully been launched using the framework. Below are 15 reasons that make Grails the web development framework of choice:
Dynamic languages such as JRuby, Groovy, and Jython are increasingly playing an important role in the web these days. The associated frameworks such as Rails, Grails, and Django are gaining importance because of the agility provided by them. This session gives an overview of various Dynamic Languages and associated Web frameworks that can be used on the GlassFish project. Continue reading »
Version 2.0 of Ehcache open source caching solution claims to deliver the enterprise-class capabilities of high priced and proprietary technologies like Oracle Coherence without requiring application changes. Continue reading »
Dynamic scripting languages are a powerful addition to a software designer's toolbox. Rails/Ruby and Python have not gained much acceptance in the enterprise. Grails and Groovy are an attempt to bridge the gap between the modern scripting world and the Enterprise Java world. This talk is an introduction towards building web applications in Grails. Continue reading »
Grails 1.2 has been released with new features like Dependency Resolution DSL, Named Query Support, Improved Performance & Memory Consumption, Named URL Mappings, Refactored Testing Infrastructure, Pluggable Web Containers. In addition to these there are hundreds of smaller additions, improvements and bug fixes.
Grails is one of the many web frameworks for the Java platform. However it shines through by its ability to use the best ideas from the Ruby on Rails world while at the same time continuing to leverage the tried, tested and trusted Java platform as well as established frameworks like Spring and Hibernate. With Grails' tight integration with Java, Groovy based features, growing popularity and improved support from IDEs, Grails looks poised to become the RAD framework of choice for the Java platform.

Police have seized a shipment of 1,041 elephant tusks in Tanzania heading for Malaysia
Officials have said the ivory was hidden in a container of anchovies, where the strong smell would have normally put off any investigations into the crate.
Two transport agents are being held by police, after the container was offloaded in Zanzibar two weeks ago.
Will Travers, CEO of Born Free a wildlife charity, said, "Just imagine discovering the remains of at least 521 dead elephants in a single haul.
"This news has truly numbed us all to the core, and made us even more determined to redouble our efforts in the fight against elephant poaching and the illegal ivory trade."
A recent report by the Monitoring the Illegal Killing of Elephants Programme (MIKE) has revealed that poaching levels are rising in east, southern and central Africa.
Shelley Waterland, Born Free's wildlife trade expert said, "There are not enough elephants left on this planet to meet Asian demand for ivory.
"Enforcement efforts are essential, but so is reducing demand. Many fragile populations will simply not survive for very much longer if this level of threat continues unabated."
Customs officers in Hong Kong have since seized another 794 pieces of ivory tusk, weighing 1.9 tonnes, from a shipping container which arrived from Malaysia.
Dr Colman O'Criodain, WWF's Wildlife Trade Policy Analyst said, "WWF applauds Hong Kong and Tanzania for disrupting these ivory shipments, which represent the deaths of many hundreds of elephants.
"We are increasingly seeing Malaysia as a transit country for illegal wildlife products and we urge Malaysia to direct more attention to monitoring the goods passing through its ports."
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) officially banned ivory trade in 1989, but has also permitted Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, Japan and China to make one off ivory trades.

Here. It's an interesting read of why many gays are conservative (I know quite a few). The comments are telling as well.

I don't think the summit turned out quite the way Pres. Obama thought it would, and this is the reason why.

This paper studies the U.S. reference Supercritical Water Reactor (SCWR) design with the newly extended coupled codes PARCS/RELAP5. Steady-state, burnup, and loss-of-feedwater transients are simulated. A possible flow reversal in moderator channels is found in the simulations, and the impact of this reversal on power peaking and reactivity is observed. The transient results show that the assembly with the maximum cladding surface temperature (MCST) and the assembly with the maximum power are different and that the MCST is within the material limit under the current design.
