Bobby Alloway may have designed the SpeedStar's body but it takes a team of craftsmen to turn that body into completed rolling art. Built by ProRides, this hot rod has won plenty of awards including 'Best Radical Roadster' at the Detroit Autorama and the Hershey 'Fab 5' award. It has also been featured in 'Street Rod Builder' magazine and has enough trophies behind it to require a trailer to haul them all. Highly detailed and beautifully finished, this car is the very definition of hot rodding in the 21st century.
The body is a Rat's Glass piece, anchored to a matching frame from the same vendor. With the myriad of suppliers, designs, and fabricators out there, a lot of rods end up as cobbled together collections of mismatched parts that never live up to their potential. That's definitely not the case here. Everything was fully engineered and built to work as a unit and the result is a car that drives as great as it looks.
Though Alloway bodies are good right out of the box, the crew at Volker Auto Body went the extra mile in completing the prep and paintwork on this street rod. Between the Harley-Davidson Gray and Corvette Victory Red, you'll find a simulated TIG weld that was designed and applied by Thad Cunningham from ICON Graphics. Yes, it really does look like a very skilled welder joined the top and bottom halves of this body with the most beautiful welds ever seen. Even the trained eye requires a second look to figure out what is really going on. It's detail work like this that allows certain cars to place over others at shows and this one is a proven contender.
The big headlight look is timeless and this car wears it well, borrowing a pair of headlights from a '34 Ford truck. With so many cars sporting King Bees, the Ford lights are a refreshing look. The grille is a custom billet piece inside the Alloway-designed shell that's been raked, pinched, and chopped. Out back, Headwinds Concours rocket taillights are the finishing touch. It's a good thing they're pretty, because they're going to be the only thing a lot of guys see if they try to chase down this little red roadster.
Power comes from an aluminum LS1. No old tech 350 with a carburetor, this is a fuel injected powerhouse that features a polished aluminum intake (not plastic) and custom fabricated sheet metal valve covers. Ignition is handled by a set of eight separate MSD coil packs, and if you look closely, you'll note that the air cleaner is a trick unit that also houses the mass-air meter. There are braided hoses everywhere, but they're black with black fittings for a subtle look that stands out at shows. Rounding out the eye candy is a set of aluminum fuel rails that feed the injectors a steady diet of high octane – pieces that the LS1 never carried from the factory. Nice! Of course, there's a pair of long tube headers handling the exhaust duties, and the block has been bathed in more of that Corvette Victory Red paint. In all, a simple, clean, well-designed engine bay that lets the hardware do all the talking.
The chassis is equally well crafted using more well-regarded components. The transmission is a 4L60E automatic that is cooled by a B&M transmission cooler for aggressive driving. Up front, the suspension is from Heidt's with a custom crossmember and adjustable coil-over shocks. In back, it's a fully independent Winters axle with trick inboard disc brakes that keep this little roadster planted in the twisties. Brakes are from Wilwood, with big ventilated discs all around. The exhaust was custom fabricated and features Flowmaster mufflers for that sound that everyone will instantly recognize. Everything that can be polished has been, and if it isn't polished, it has been painted to match the body. Lines and hoses are custom pieces that fit beautifully and must have taken hours to fabricate. Wheels are Bonspeed Custom units measuring 18×8 up front and a gigantic 22×10.5 out back, all rolling on a set of BFGoodrich KD radials.
Inside, a bright red leather interior is sure to stop show-goers in their tracks. There's not a single piece that wasn't hand-fabricated and stitched together, from the door panels to the trick center console with integrated (and weatherproof) stereo controls. Every square inch was wrapped in gorgeous red leather and detailed just as thoroughly as the graphics on the outside of the car. Gauges are Bonspeed pieces called Viva Las Gauges. Their big, bold graphics match the overall theme of the car perfectly. The center console was custom molded to hold not only the Lokar shifter for the 4L60E, but also a cool round pod for the hidden entertainment system's control interface. The tilt steering column wears a tachometer as it should, and the Billet Specialties steering wheel has been wrapped in matching red leather. The trunk has had an equal amount of time, money, and attention thrown at it, and presents beautifully with a vintage-looking V8 logo embossed in the back panel, which hides things like the entertainment system and battery. This car is far from done winning awards.
Pro built rods aren't cheap. To win awards at the highest levels, not only does the design need to be jaw-dropping, the execution has to border on art. Every single component has to be finished to perfection and assembled with more care than a surgeon performing a double bypass. This is such a car. Guys who pay for someone to build rods like this understand that they'll never get their investment back, it takes cubic dollars to build a car like this. The upside is that it makes award-winning show pieces affordable for average enthusiasts who want a mind-blowing car but can't afford the build. This is an awful lot of car that cost twice the asking price to build. It is a proven show winner and a spectacular driver on the road. If you like the looks (and who wouldn't?), give us a call right away. You couldn't duplicate half of this car for the money.

Japan police plan DNA database to identify tsunami deadMay 3rd, 2011 in Medicine & Health / Genetics
Soldiers of Japan's Self-Defense Force search for victims buried under debris in the tsunami-devastated town of Otsuchi, Iwate Prefecture in April 2011. Japanese police are to set up a DNA database to help identify the bodies of those killed in the March earthquake and tsunami, reports said Tuesday.
Japanese police are to set up a DNA database to help identify the bodies of those killed in the March earthquake and tsunami, reports said Tuesday.
Police in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures will collect DNA samples from the belongings of people still listed as missing and from their relatives, national broadcaster NHK said.
Thousands of bodies have been retrieved from rubble, swamps and beaches since the massive 9.0-magnitude quake and subsequent tsunami of March 11 ravaged the country's northeastern coastline.
Some 10,808 people were still listed as missing as of Monday evening, with 14,728 confirmed dead.
Police have already used DNA testing to identify some of the dead, but are to step up their efforts as many of the bodies retrieved are severely damaged, which hampers recognition and can traumatise the families of the missing, NHK said.
They will start to take DNA samples from relatives of the missing in mid-May, Kyodo News said.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Diego Chargers Free Pick, Trends, and Preview
- Updated: December 11, 2010
Kansas City Chiefs
San Diego Chargers
This is the day of reckoning for the San Diego Chargers. If they don't find a way to beat the Kansas City Chiefs and make for good Week 14 NFL picks, they are going to be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. KC can't quite lock up the division with a win, but it can get its magic number within two against the Oakland Raiders.
Christmas clearly came early for the Chiefs last week when said Raiders bounced the Bolts here at Qualcomm, as that opened up the two game cushion. Kansas City knows that it is playing with house money in this one, as three wins to end the regular season after this one is over would still get the job done and get it into the second season. QB Matt Cassel is the big time question mark in this one, as he had an emergency appendectomy on Wednesday and is listed as doubtful. He might not even make the trip with the team. If that's the case, the pressure shifts to QB Brodie Croyle who, though he has some experience as a starter, has never really been effective in the role. The No. 1 rushing offense in the game is going to take a major load on come Sunday, as RBs Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones are inevitably going to be called upon at least 35 times between them, if not more, to be able to beat the Bolts. KC's defense is going to be under the gun, too, especially in the secondary, where it is allowing 233.1 yards per game, ranking No. 21 in the NFL.
If San Diego can't win this game in this situation, it doesn't deserve to make it to the playoffs, and that's what Head Coach Norv Turner has to be telling his men this week. A win doesn't guarantee the Chargers anything except for life for another week, as they need to get some more help to win the AFC West, which looks like their only potential route into the second season. Statistically, you would think that this team is the most dominating in the NFL, not one that is hanging around .500. Averaging 281.4 yards per game allowed is the top mark in the league, while 397.4 yards per game offensively is No. 2. QB Philip Rivers has thrown for 3,652 yards on the season, and if he can rally his troops in this one and find a way to get them into the playoffs, he is going to be a legitimate MVP candidate. He has had to play with a mess load of different receivers this year, but once again, his top man is TE Antonio Gates, who has 782 yards and ten trips to the end zone on the campaign. Last week's 28-13 loss to the Raiders was the first time since this four game winning streak started back on Halloween in which the Bolts scored fewer than 29 points in a game.
All signs point to San Diego in this one, but we really aren't all that sure of the outcome quite yet. Croyle just has to do a very little bit to succeed in this one. The key is going to be the offensive line for the Chiefs, which will have to open up holes in the San Diego front seven for Charles and Jones to get through. If these two can combine for about 150 yards or so on the ground, KC can at least keep this one close. Don't be surprised if this is another tremendous upset.

Superstars to look out for
by, 05-03-2012 at 07:16 PM (4875 Views)
Superstars to look out for in the future
This guy powered his way into my favourite 5 within 2 weeks and even though he has only had squash match's at the minute and still has a long way to go mainly he has to prove he can sell and has mic skills but think Ryback could be a champion be Intercontinental or United States champion by the end of the year if not even higher up the packing maybe a world champion by the end of next year Ryback has to be the top star to look out for.
Antonio Cesaro
All true wrestling fans should no him from his days as Claudio Castagnoli and we all know he can talk as well as wrestle and already had a great career before coming to the wwe but think he could hit the big time here or if not breath new life into the tag division with the next person in my list.
Kassius Ohno
Even through he has not had his call up to the main roster yet but many will also remember him as Chris Hero who as well as Antonio Cesaro has already had an impressive career and the two superstars made a great tag team as the Kings Of Wrestling and what ever the wwe decide to do with these two superstars either have them as single or put them together as a tag team which im hoping for they can do well in wwe.
Seth Rollins
Again someone who hasn't yet had his call up to the main roster he is already made in impact in FCW and hoping for his main roster call up soon think Rollins could be the face of the wwe in another three years or more.
Richie Steamboat
Another great talent but again still in FCW at the moment and out of the three still in FCW think he still needs that bit more time in development before coming up to the main Roster but still a great talent and maybe one day could make a great Intercontinental Champion just like his father he also made a good tag team in FCW when won the FCW tag team titles with Seth Rollins.
These are just my thoughts and would like to hear if you think the same or disagree and think one of them or all of them should not be on the list or if you think someone should be watched closely thanks for reading.

Recipe by Diamondgirl
"This spice mix gives popcorn a garlicky and slightly smoky flavor. Sprinkle on hot popcorn and enjoy!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3 tablespoons
brewers' yeast
2 tablespoons
garlic salt
2 tablespoons
celery salt
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
ground cumin
1 teaspoon
curry powder
1/2 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
I did not have garlic salt or celery salt so I used garlic powder and Beau Monde seasoning. (Beau Monde seasoning is basically celery salt and onion powder) I cut this recipe back to make one batch for one bowl of air popped popcorn. I tossed my popcorn with a mixture of EVOO and butter, then sprinkled the spice mix over my popcorn. I really liked the combination of the cumin, curry and cayenne with the salty-parmesan-ish flavor of the Brewer's yeast. Brewer's yeast on popcorn is one of my favorite treats so I knew I was in for something good. Next time I make this, I'd cut back on the Beau Monde. For me, it was a little too salty and the celery flavor overpowered everything else. Good spice mix--very different but in a surprizing way.
Wonderful combination of flavors to perk up regular 'ol popcorn! And just as the submitter states, it garlicky with a slight smoky flavor. I cut the recipe in half to give it a try and used garlic powder vs. garlic salt I also used smoked paprika vs. regular for some extra smokiness. Overall, very tasty!
12 Ratings
This is really a delicious combination of seasonings. I sprayed just the lightest bit of canola oil on the popcorn with my Misto to help the seasoning coat the popcorn better. It's addicting!
I did't have brewers yeast so I left it out and didn't have garlic so I used garlic powder and table salt. I used a little too much salt, but other than that it was delicious!! Way better than I expected!
I played with this mostly to reduce salt. I used 4 T nutritional yeast (cuz I had it on hand), 1 T garlic powder, 1 T celery salt. For paprika I used spicy Hungarian so left out the cayenne. Blended it up in mini chopper. Made this up to have on hand but my taste test was so good I made popcorn immediately.
This is yummy, haven't tried it with the brewer's yeast but I put everything else in. I've started using it on cottage cheese too.
added a touch of lime juice, cinnamon & sugar, then microwaved it all w kernels in brown paper bag. Drastically reduced the quantity of spices bc going on one batch of popcorn. Omitted yeast and celery bc the other flavors lean toward Indian cuisine.
I am not a huge fan of curry but I went with it anyway and was glad I did. There's just so much going on in this seasoning - a little cheesy, a little spicy, a little out of the ordinary. I also didn't have celery salt or garlic salt so just used half onion powder and half garlic powder. It was so yummy, I was trying to get it all out of the bowl when I was done with the popcorn and then thinking about what else I could use as an excuse to put it on. It is definitely worth a try.

War effort proceeds as huge Texas base is activated
On this date in 1942, Camp Hood was activated. The temporary camp, named for Confederate general John Bell Hood, is now one of the largest military bases in the world. It was officially opened on September 14, 1942, and has since been continuously used for armored training. By 1950 it was made a permanent base and renamed Fort Hood. Units from Hood have contributed significantly to all important overseas United States military actions since 1942. The installation, the largest piece of Texas owned solely by the federal government, has also been critically important economically and socially in the Killeen area.

Elder Ken Goodwill, First Nations University of Canada
The Elders say that when we are born of this earth, the creator gives us a task to do. Part of our job is to seek what that task is, what is it that the creator wants us to do. We owe it to ourselves to be the best that we are able to be.
The traditional ways of doing things, you can do on a vision quest or a Sundance. You can also do it through places like the university or SIAST, where you are founded with a great deal of knowledge and certainly at the beginning, there is the novelty of knowledge. But at some point, something will trigger your interest and you begin to see the application of that knowledge. That becomes the sort of thing where you would say, where this is what I want to do. I like the effects of this or the possible effects of my applying this particular kind of knowledge.
There is going to be many things in your life that are going to make you wonder, that are going to make you have self doubt but when we walk that medicine wheel to find that balance, we are picking from that medicine wheel the physical, the mental, the emotional and spiritual. We need to have a strong balance within your life that's placed there by family and community.
It all starts with letting children find that balance for themselves. You have to allow people to find that balance within themselves so that they know that it feels right for me. This is my balance. It may not be yours and it may not be somebody else's, it is their sense of balance. We can only find that by going out there and finding it, getting that energy; that we are then able to go into ourselves and say what is right her for me.

Arian's Rise to Power
I've disappeared for a week or two but I have been working out. I've been busy with the GRE, applying for grad school, getting settled at home, working with my dad, being sick, and trying to figure out what I want to do next in lifting. I feel like I am stuck in limbo now that I've graduated. I have nothing to do which surprisingly has made me lazy in everything else. I've had to force myself to even go to the gym because I really don't want to do anything and I'm not sure why.
But I have decided that I want to bulk up to 200 lbs, however long it takes, and then decide then if I want to cut down or not. I dropped from about 177 to 171 lbs when I was sick and took a week off from lifting. I am now back to 176 and hope to continue pushing to 180 and beyond in the months to come.
I have started this program called Optimized Volume Training. Its a reworking of german volume training to attempt to maintain or increase strength while on a hypertrophy routine. Basically it is all supersets, 5 sets of 5 reps for each exercise. This allows you to go heavy on the first exercise of each superset to increase strength and then the second exercise is done slow to increase time under tension. It is a lot of volume and my strength drops through the exercises because of the superset, so I have edited the routine a bit on some of the main lifts, like squats.
So I just started week 2 of the routine today, here is how its been going so far.
9/6/10 - Chest & Back
BB Bench superset with DB Fly
175/5 for 1 set, 155/5 for 4 sets
15/5 for 5 sets
DB Incline superset with DB Incline Fly
40/5 for 1 set, 45/5 for 4 sets
15/5 for 5 sets
Pullup superset with DB Row
5 for 3 sets, 4 for 1 set, 3 for 1 set
45/5 for 5 sets
BB Row superset with Seated High Row Machine
75/5 for 5 sets
90/5 for 5 sets
The 1st exercise of each superset is done 2 seconds negative and 1 second positive.
The 2nd exercise of each superset is done 6 seconds negative and 2 seconds positive.
9/7/10 - Legs & Abs
Squat superset with Lunges
175/5 for 3 sets, 175/3 for 1 set, 175/2 for 1 set
Leg Press superset with Back Extension
180/5 for 5 sets
5 for 5 sets
Leg Curl superset with Leg Extension
80/5 for 1 set, 95/5 for 4 sets
80/5 for 5 sets
Hanging Leg Raises superset with Cable Crunches
5 for 2 sets, 3 for 1 set
170/5 for 3 sets
I decided not to superset squats with lunges because my strength would decrease dramatically. So I am just going to do heavy squats to start and then do supersets for the rest of the workout from now on. This will make squats a regular 5x5 progression.
9/9/10 - Biceps & Triceps
BB Curl superset with DB Curl
75/5 for 3 sets
20/5 for 3 sets
Preacher Curl superset with Hammer Curl
65/5 for 1 set, 55/5 for 2 sets
12/5 for 3 sets
Dips superset with Cable Pressdowns
5 for 4 sets
70/5 for 1 set, 80/5 for 1 set, 90/5 for 2 sets
Close-Grip Bench superset with Skullcrushers
135/5 for 1 set
40/5 for 1 set
Can't remember the last time I've done an arm day, if ever. So I couldn't quite handle 5 sets of 5 for this many exercises. So I cut down the volume for week 1. Might move close-grip bench to my 1st tricep exercise as well so I can get the most strength gains out of it. I would do weighted dips but my gym doesn't have any dip belts and I don't own one.
9/11/10 - Shoulders
Military Press superset with Lateral Raise
110/5 for 2 sets, 100/5 for 1 set
10/5 for 3 sets
Alternating DB Press superset with Front Raise
30/5 for 3 sets
10/5 for 1 set, 5/5 for 2 sets
Face Pull superset with Rear Delt Raise
70/5 for 1 set, 80/5 for 2 sets
12/15 for 3 sets
Kept the volume on shoulders low since they already took a beating from squats and chest workouts. Did higher rep on rear delts as well since its pretty hard/weird to do 6 seconds negative on that exercise.
9/13/10 - Back
Pullup superset with DB Row
5 for 4 sets, 4 for 1 set
45/5 for 5 sets
Seated Low Row Machine
90/12 for 5 sets
Made a very dumb move and went to the gym at around 6pm. It was very crowded and couldn't do my workout the way I wanted. I threw out chest because all the benches were taken and went straight to back. Then I couldn't do BB rows because all the BBs were taken. So I did regular rep range and tempo for my 2nd back exercise. I will probably go do chest tomorrow morning and then do legs & abs early afternoon or late night when it isn't as crowded. I hate crowded gyms...
Logged in, good luck making it to 200!
Thanks man, its going to be hard. I had trouble eating enough to maintain 180 lbs a few months ago. I was basically having a giant protein shake after the gym and then like a 1500 calorie frozen pizza a hour or so later. I'm trying to do it alittle cleaner this time since my mom makes healthy lunchs and dinners, but I have trouble eating alot of it so we'll see.
Eating a couple bananas and other stuff getting ready for my morning chest workout right now. Weighed in at 177.2 lbs this morning.
9/14/10 - Chest
BB Bench superset with DB Fly
160/5 for 4 sets, 160/4 for 1 set
15/5 for 5 sets
DB Incline Bench superset with DB Incline Fly
50/5 for 5 sets
15/5 for 5 sets
Workout felt very good today. I might split up chest and back and do one Monday mornings and one Monday nights from now on. I think I will get a better workout that way, I just have to see if I have the time for it. Time to eat and rest for legs & abs tonight.
9/14/10 - Legs & Abs
175/5 for 5 sets
Leg Press superset with Back Extension
230/5 for 5 sets
5 for 5 sets
Leg Curl superset with Leg Extension
105/5 for 5 sets
80/5 for 5 sets
Hanging Leg Raises superset with Cable Crunches
5 for 3 sets
200/5 for 3 sets
Workout went well, I went up in everything. Squats felt hard at first but then got better and I made it through. Eating some chicken and sweet potatoes right now. Off tomorrow and then arms on Thursday.

Steven A. Clark Announces Tour Dates
Hailed as one of SPIN Magazines' "Most Impressive Releases," one of "CMJ's Most Talented 10," and one of the "5 Best New Artists for October '12," Steven A. Clark has made waves with his recently released Fornication Under the Consent of the King, the follow up album to his 2010, critically acclaimed STRIPES. F.U.C.K., represents his progression in both his musical and personal life, showcasing a new level of maturity in his songwriting. Steven A. Clark will take his synth-kissed sound on the road with a few dates along the east coast.
Alongside Frank Ocean and The Weeknd, the Fayetville, North Carolina native is a top forerunner in the Future RnB movement, spearheading a confident and new type of indie-rock and hip hop infused rhythm and blues that belies their young age. Wearing his heart on his sleeve, Clark's songwriting reflects his absolute acceptance of the effects of love, including the adoration and despise, bliss and pain, and drinking and drugs. Building on the self-produced, written, and performed sound of STRIPES, Clark cuts away niceties and digging into the core of his personal afflictions with F.U.C.K.

press release
Africa Health Placements (AHP) conducted interviews with local and foreign-qualified doctors to determine what factors attracted them to South Africa and what factors could potentially push them away from working in the public sector, to examine their thoughts on management, team work and perceptions in public healthcare facilities in South Africa, as well as their experiences both in and outside the hospital.
Some of the main issues raised:
Clinical experiences
Foreign-qualified doctors said that it was quite difficult to cope with the high rate of HIV and TB as they do not see it as much in their home countries. Doctors said that they have more responsibilities and the clinical work is more diverse due to staff shortages.
The lack of education on health issues was also highlighted – a UK doctor said that patients in his home country are more informed about their conditions because they do their own research on the internet. In South Africa he has to do a lot more education. The high number of trauma cases in comparison to other countries was highlighted. Language barriers were also stressed as a major challenge.
Outside the hospital
Doctors were generally very positive about South Africa. They have the opportunity to travel and explore the country and felt that people were friendly. The general red tape and bureaucracy were mentioned as challenges.
Click here to read the interview: http://ahp.org.za/news-detail/436/experiences-of-public-health-in-and-out-of-the-hospital
Pull factors
The relaxed lifestyle in rural areas, South Africa's natural beauty, and gaining medical experience in a different healthcare setting were the main reasons foreign-qualified doctors came to South Africa. Doctors from African countries came here more out of necessity – political and economic reasons play a bigger role in their decision to work in South Africa.
A local doctor that made the move to the public sector after working in the private sector for years mentioned the desire to make a difference and treat patients that really needed medical care. He also mentioned the work satisfaction and the relaxed lifestyle as major attractions. Although language barriers and staff shortages were mentioned as barriers, foreign-qualified doctors also said that these challenges attracted them to South Africa.
Push factors
Money was not mentioned as a major factor.
Two doctors mentioned struggling with different drug names as an initial challenge. A Nigerian doctor said that management, especially in deep rural areas, don't always recognize the important contribution made by foreign-qualified doctors in improving healthcare. Another Nigerian doctor complained about the lengthy exam process and the lack of guidance on the actual exam.

Poor management
Poor management is one of the main reasons doctors don't want to work in the public sector. This was again highlighted by the doctors interviewed. Two South African doctors and a European midwife who are working or had worked in Gauteng, the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal said that the right people are not hired as managers.
Frustrations with poor HR and administration were also stressed. Two of these healthcare workers resigned as a result of poor management. Their experiences highlight the serious effect that poor management and a lack of accountability can potentially have on the retention of doctors in rural South Africa.
A Zimbabwean doctor was asked about relationships among doctors to determine whether he had ever experienced xenophobia. He said the attitudes of foreign-qualified doctors play a huge role in whether they are accepted by local doctors.
If foreign-qualified doctors learn a bit of the language and culture, they are by and large more easily accepted, he said. Patients, however, didn't seem to have a problem with foreign-qualified doctors and were overall just happy to see a doctor.
National Health Insurance
Both local doctors agreed that the idea is a good one in principle, but that the public sector would have to improve the quality of care significantly for the plan to stand any chance of success.

There was a Simpsons on this once. Homer happened to be near by when the
cops busted some guy for telemarketing, and they threw the dialer in the
dumpster. Homer picked it up, and had it call people all night asking for
them to mail him a dollar. [1]
When he got busted, the court forced him to apologize. So he set up the
dialer to call people all night to do just that. :^) [2]

Source: Expert Reviews
The Toshiba Satellite S50T-B-10H is a well-specified and attractive laptop. Its processor and graphics performance mean it should be a bargain at this price, but build quality issues and a poor screen ultimately make this is a so-so laptop. The Acer Aspire V3-772G is a better alternative, as it combines an impressively powerful Nvidia GeForce GTX 750M graphics processor with a more powerful Intel Core i7-4702MQ processor. It's more expensive than the Toshiba Satellite S50T-B-10H, but it's one of our favourite general-purpose laptops.

Don't let the good looks fool you. This Toshiba Satellite P50t-B has a poor screen and just isn't great value considering the $1500 price point at which it's offered. For the asking price, it could use a Full HD panel, as well as better storage. It's got a good keyboard, though, and we like that it's a slim and relatively lightweight unit, despite its 15.6in form factor. But we can't get over the screen.

The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.

The Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors agreed in principle Monday to enter into a reduced-cost comprehensive planning contract with Oxford-based firm Slaughter and Associates.
The board voted 3-2 to enter into the agreement after Mike Slaughter, the organization's leader, told the board planning efforts would only cost $27,000-$32,000 after his group received Geographic Information Systems (GIS) surveys and other prep work from the Golden Triangle Planning and Development District. A previous contract submitted by the organization estimated planning efforts would cost $30,000-$35,000.
District 1 Supervisor John Montgomery and District 4 Supervisor Daniel Jackson voted against the agreement.
The county previously entered into a deal with the GTPDD to develop a comprehensive plan. GTPDD GIS surveys detailing every county structure, road and landmark were conducted in preparation for the county's switch to a new 911 addressing system. That data and other information was passed along to Slaughter and Associates after documents releasing GTPDD from the planning contract were signed in January.
GTPDD Executive Director Rudy Johnson said in November he was in favor of Slaughter and Associates handling planning efforts.
While his organization will handle developing the countywide comprehensive plan, it will tailor the plan to the board's wishes, Slaughter told supervisors before the vote.
"You'll be an integral part in this process the whole way. We'll use your guidance on the type of document you want," he said. "There will be no surprises."
Slaughter also said the comprehensive plan will not include strict zoning ordinances or forced land-use mechanisms.
"This will be just a plan for goals and objectives, future land-use suggestions and plans for transportation and community facilities," he said.
After Slaughter's presentation, Jackson said he has heard many concerns from county residents regarding future zoning requirements. As for recommendations, he asked Slaughter why the county should spend almost $30,000 for a list of recommendations.
"I feel like when someone decides to build something in Oktibbeha County, they already have a plan that's not based upon a suggestion," Jackson said.
"That's a good concern, and I wouldn't want the county to spend money they didn't feel was productive to get a return on," Slaughter replied. "Say someone comes in saying they want to locate a plant or a business. You could then pull out this plan and give a recommendation. I see that as a plus. I do think having a plan beats having nothing at all."

MEMPHIS, TN (localmemphis.com) - The smart meter fight is over and now the issue is starting to put those meters in. They're hoping to have more than 40,000 of them in place by the start of next year.
Actually there will be more than 40,000 homes getting a total of 60,000 meters.
It's easy to be confused, MLGW president Jerry Collins said. But there is a good chance somebody in your neighborhood, maybe even you, will get a smart meter.
"They are going to be in all portions of Shelby County. In all council districts and in the suburban areas like Germantown, Collierville and Bartlett," Collins said.
Collins says there's a reason the first wave of meters will be placed all over the place.
"The meters are going to be in concentrated neighborhoods but scattered throughout Shelby County, so we can give everybody a flavor of what its like but still have these concentrated very efficient areas where we can implement and get this started," Collins said.
In a few years, every customer of Memphis Light, Gas, and Water will have a smart meter.
There's another reason why the company wants them.
"There are 11,000 occasions a year that we know of where people are stealing electricity from MLGW. Smart meters will help put an end to that theft and I think we'll find that there was even more theft out there than we knew about," Collins said.
The key now, according to Jerry Collins, is communications. To let the people who have the meters and everyone else know these things aren't dangerous. You'll be hearing a lot from the company in the weeks and months ahead.

Carey Adds Five to 2014-15 Roster
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University women's basketball coach Mike Carey announced today the signing of five players to the 2014-15 Mountaineer roster.
Abigail Asoro (Stockholm, Sweden/Fryshueset Gymnasium/Iowa Western CC), Kristina King (Thomasville, N.C./New Hope Christian Academy), Kayla Montgomery (Powder Springs, Ga./McEachern High/Gulf Coast CC), Dominique Simpson (Orlando, Fla./Jones High) and Tyara Warren (Plano, Texas/Plano West High) make up the class of 2014.
"This is a large class and we're really excited about it," coach Mike Carey says. "We brought in three freshmen and two junior college players. We're losing five seniors this year, so we felt we had to get some players to come in with experience, plus bring in some great freshmen. Overall, I am very pleased with the players. They are all very great young ladies and make good grades."
Asoro is a 6-foot forward transferring to Morgantown from Iowa Western Community College. Iowa Western is currently 4-0 this season with Asoro leading with 18.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, including a 30-point outing. A native of Stockholm, Sweden, Asoro was named the best player in Sweden's youth-18. She was a member of the 2011 Scandinavian All-Star team and played her first collegiate season at Daytona Beach in 2012-13.
"Abigail is a very athletic and versatile player," coach Carey says. "She can play inside and out and is a great athlete. She brings a lot of experience to us from the junior college level."
With the Falcons, Asoro averaged 23.4 points per game as the second-leading scorer for the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). The freshman ranked No. 8 in the NJCAA for 609 points that season. Asoro led her team with a 48.5 field goal percentage in 26 games played. She shot 27.9 percent from 3-point range, 72.5 percent from the free throw line and pulled down 10.1 rebounds per game. Asoro earned a NJCAA Player of the Week honor and closed out the season as an NJCAA All-America Honorable Mention selection.
King is a 6-foot-3 post player out of New Hope Christian Academy. A four-star prospect by ESPNU HoopGurlz, King ranks No. 8 overall in her position group, and in the top-100 (No. 73) by All-Star Girl's Report. Prospectsnation.com has King ranked No. 56 nationally, and also No. 8 in her position group, calling her a 'versatile power forward who is a threat to score from the inside or outside.'
"Like Abigail, Kristina is very athletic as well," Carey says. "She is long at 6-3 and is a wing player that can also play inside and out. She runs the floor extremely well and fits into our system really well."
As a junior, King averaged 8.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game in 32 games played. She collected 284 points on 38 percent shooting (116-302), while recording 29 threes, and pulling down 199 rebounds. King also blocked 46 shots and grabbed 79 steals. The Thomasville, N.C., native also played AAU basketball for the Lady Phoenix Elite.
Montgomery is a 6-foot-4 center transferring in to WVU from Gulf Coast Community College. At Gulf Coast, Montgomery was selected to be a part of the 2013 NJCAA Women's Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Tournament. She played in 29 games as freshman, and this season her team is currently 5-0 with Montgomery averaging 10.2 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per game. She had a career-high 20 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks in the season-opening victory over Palm Beach State.
"With Asya Bussie leaving and having some younger post players, Kayla really brings some experience to us at the post immediately coming in from the junior college," Carey explains. "She is a very good face-up post player that can block shots and run the floor."
The Powder Springs, Ga., native played at McEachern High. Her team posted a 33-0 overall record, a 14-0 conference mark, a No. 6 national ranking and a 2012 Georgia Girls State Basketball Title her senior season. As a part of the class of 2012, Montgomery was a four-star prospect with a No. 14 position ranking by ESPNU HoopGurlz.
Simpson, a 5-foot-8 guard out of Orlando, Fla., is a three-star prospect and ranked No. 18 in her position by ESPNU HoopGurlz. As a sophomore, Simpson led Jones High to the 2012 FHSAA Final Four for the first time in 10 years, averaging 14.2 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. Following that season, Simpson was named the Florida Class 3A Player of the Year. She was sidelined for the first half of her junior season with an ACL injury, but returned for a successful season.
"Dominique is another athletic guard that can shoot, has a nice stroke, is very athletic and can get to the rim," Carey says. "She has great quickness and we think she can help us on the perimeter."
She was rated as high as the Top-70 nationally by All-Star Girl's Report and Collegiate Girl's Report. She was a top scorer in the 2012 and 2013 Deep South Classic. Simpson also played for Florida Girls Basketball (FGB) 17U AAU team.
Warren is a 5-foot-9 guard out of Plano West High that ranks No. 24 in her position by ESPNU HoopGurlz. She is a three-star prospect that also plays for Texas Prep Elite AAU team. The Plano, Texas native helped Plano West High to a 36-4 overall record, a 9-1 league record and a national ranking of No. 32 her junior season.
"Tyara is another player that can play several positions," Carey says. "She can play on the perimeter, but also does a great job defensively. I was impressed with what I saw from her on defense, and she can also attack the rim and make plays, so we think she is another great fit for our system."
A team captain, Warren was a three-time All-District First Team selection, named to the All-Region team her junior year and a two-time Defensive Player of the Year. She surpassed the 1,000-point mark her junior season, averaging 12.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 4.0 steals per game. With Warren, Plano West is three-time district champions and reached the regional semifinals her in 2013.
The All-Star Girl's Report ranks West Virginia's recruiting class of 2014 as the 18th-best in the nation.

Background and Definitions 9 Whenever a commuter rail project is considered, a freight line may be in the mix where the owner will have to share the line with temporal separation or track separation. This circumstance makes coordination with the railroad company owning the freight line extremely important. The importance of reaching agreements with the railroad company and clarifying the details of the work and the responsibilities of the various parties cannot be overemphasized. The railroad com- pany usually wants to do the track work with its own forces on a cost-reimbursable basis, and this puts all the risk on the owner. This also increases the constructor's risk because its work may be impacted by the railroad. This makes early involvement of the construction contractor very important to project success. Also, the railroad company tends to do the work at its own pace while considering project milestones; as a general rule, the agency does not enjoy the same degree of control that it exerts over the constructor with the railroad company. Another distinguishing characteristic of transit projects is that typically they incorporate fea- tures that are unusual in an engineering project, and thus transit projects may require the involve- ment of professionals from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design, as well as engineering. The integration of "vertical" construction features (e.g., parking structures and transit stations) with "horizontal" construction features (e.g., track beds, bridges, and road- way elements) creates a need for a comprehensive set of design and construction services that is not normally found in transportation projects. Additionally, transit agencies' need to integrate their facilities with other transportation modes demands another comprehensive set of design and construction service providers and requires a more flexible approach to design and construction than is required by single-mode transportation projects. These characteristics of transit projects drive the need for a "toolbox" of project delivery methods that permits a transit agency to select the appropriate project delivery "tool" based on the technical demands of a given project. Transit projects are not usually money makers (unlike some toll roads in the highway sector). Therefore, it is difficult to generate interest in potential public-private partnerships. Financial institutions, which are sometimes interested in supporting toll road and bridge projects, are usu- ally not interested in transit investment, although that may change in the future. Finally, federal support for transit projects, often crucial to bringing the project into being, depends on specific steps that are not similar to other transportation projects. The Federal Tran- sit Administration (FTA) plays an important role in this process. Various transit agencies com- pete for federal dollars by preparing specific reports to the FTA. Depending on the rating that a project receives, it may be permitted to move to the next development stage. The owner agency must meet certain requirements to advance from project planning to final design and finally to construction. If, during various phases of project development and as project scope becomes more accurate, the rating of the project falls below the required threshold, there is a possibility that the project may be discontinued. The burden is on the owner agency to ensure that the proj- ect remains viable and meets federal requirements. Evolution of Current Alternative Delivery Methods in Transit Projects Public procurement law has historically limited public agencies to using DBB construction project delivery only. The current wide range of project delivery methods is a relatively recent development for publicly funded transit projects in the United States. The development of the public procurement laws limiting public agencies to use of the DBB project delivery method can be traced in part to the Brooks Act. Enacted in 1972, the Brooks Act (Public Law 92-582) states that design services on federally funded projects in the United States should be procured on the basis of qualifications only. Alternatively, numerous laws and statutes throughout the

There is nothing paranormal about near-death experiences.
Mobbs and Watt argue that neuroscience can explain seeing bright lights, meeting the dead, or being convinced you are one of them, suggesting that there is nothing paranormal about these experiences. Instead, near-death experiences are the manifestation of normal brain function gone awry, during a traumatic, and sometimes harmless, event. They engage several basic features of near death experiences (awareness of being dead, out of body experiences, tunnel of light, meeting deceased people, euphoric emotions) and note the brain regions whose perturbation by electrical stimulation or ischemic strokes can induce each phenomenon. Some can be observed in normal individuals under particular conditions of sensory stimulation (I've done posts on the Blanke experiments on out of body experiences). Their arguments are of the "may be" or "could be" sort, and their summary seems to to be particularly vague hand waving...
The near-death experience is a complex set of phenomena and a single account will not capture all its components. One recent theory is that the basic arousal systems beginning in the midbrain may account for many of the components of the near-death experience. Of interest is the locus coeruleus, a midbrain region involved in the release of noradrenaline. Noradrenaline is known to be involved in arousal related to fear, stress, and hypercarbia, and is highly connected to regions that mediate emotion and memory, including the amygdala and hippocampus. Indeed, stimulation of the noradrenaline system has been shown to enhance and consolidate memory, and plays a critical role in the sleep-wake cycle, including REM sleep. Along with basic midbrain systems, such as the periaqueductal gray, a region involved in opioid analgesia and basic fear responses, and the ventral tegmental area, which is a core dopamine reward area, the noradrenaline system may be part of a basic set of systems that directly or indirectly evoke positive emotions, hallucinations and other features of the near-death experience.
Taken together, the scientific evidence suggests that all aspects of the near-death experience have a neurophysiological or psychological basis: the vivid pleasure frequently experienced in near-death experiences may be the result of fear-elicited opioid release, while the life review and REM components of the near-death experience could be attributed to the action of the locus coeruleus- noradrenaline system. Out-of-body experiences and feelings of disconnection with the physical body could arise because of a breakdown in multisensory processes, and the bright lights and tunneling could be the result of a peripheral to fovea breakdown of the visual system through oxygen deprivation. A priori expectations, where the individual makes sense of the situation by believing they will experience the archetypal near-death experience package, may also play a crucial role. If one challenge of science is to demystify the world, then research should begin to test these and other hypotheses. Only then will discussion of near-death experiences move beyond theological dialogue and into the lawful realm of empirical neurobiology.
