Oriol Romeu wasn't the biggest signing of the summer, not even for Chelsea. You could be forgiven for not really noticing the 20-year old slipping in the Stamford Bridge side door, amidst the arrivals of Juan Mata, Raul Meireles and Romelu Lukaku. Had it not been that Oriol Romeu came from Barcelona, then his arrival may not have even have raised the eyebrow of many a fan.
However, Oriol Romeu has now started three games for Chelsea in the Premier League, all of which the Blues have won. The highlight of which was Monday night's 2-1 victory over the previously unbeaten Man City, putting Chelsea back in the Premier League title race.
Andre Villas-Boas has primarily played John Obi Mikel in the defensive midfield role this season as his preferred choice. That was up until three games ago when Oriol Romeu was handed his first Premier League start and so far he has given a better look to the Chelsea team. In his last three Premier League matches, the Blues have only conceded a solitary goal and Romeu's defensive qualities are coming to the fore. Here's what he does that makes the Chelsea team better.
Oriol Romeu vs John Obi Mikel
Oriol Romeu only played twice for Barcelona, but so far in his limited number of appearances for Chelsea he has made quite an impact. If we compare what he has achieved so far compared to John Obi Mikel this season, we can see just what Oriol Romeu brings to this Chelsea team.
John Obi Mikel
Oriol Romeu
|Mins on pitch
|Duels won (%)
|Mins per duel
|Ground tackles won (%)
|Mins per interception
|Pass completion
|Passes in opposition half (%)
Oriol Romeu is winning slightly less of his duels than John Obi Mikel, but he is actually being involved in them more often – every 6.3 minutes to 8.1 minutes. This means that he is involved in challenging for the ball in three more situations than Mikel is during the course of 90 minutes. This may not seem like much, but over the course of a 38 game season, this could be as many as 114 additional challenges.
Romeu is also winning more of his tackles when he goes to ground than John Obi Mikel, with the Spaniard at 82% to the Nigerian's 80%. Plus he reads the game better, with an interception every 27 minutes as opposed to Mikel at every 44 minutes.
The reason for Oriol Romeu being involved in more duels, intercepting the ball more often and winning ground tackles comes down to his positioning. The Spaniard touches the ball less than Mikel, but he plays deeper even though they both complete passes at 92%. However, Romeu only completes 31% of his passes in the opposition half compared to Mikel at 43%, indicating that Romeu sits deeper in the formation
Oriol Romeu playing deeper
We can see from the statistics that Oriol Romeu completes more of his passes in his own half, but if we take a look at some average position maps we can see just how much deeper he plays.
In the Spaniard's start at Newcastle, we can see that Romeu (6) is sat deep behind Lampard (8), Mata (10) and Ramires (7), but just in front of Terry (26) and Luiz (4).
Compare that to John Obi Mikel away at Blackburn. The Nigerian (12) is still sat behind Ramires (7) and Lampard (8), but is about 5-10 yards further forward as he gets more involved in the attacking play.
Romeu may only be about 5 -10 yards deeper, but this allows him to read the game better and make more interceptions and tackles. If we compare them in the game against Everton where Romeu came on for the last 15 minutes to replace Mikel, we can see that his average position in the same game was slightly deeper.
If we look at a heat map from that game, we can see just how much John Obi Mikel likes to get up the field and get involved in the attacking play.
Oriol Romeu (top) makes most of his passes just outside the area and lower than the centre circle. John Obi Mikel (bottom) still makes most of his passes in his own half, but the fact that he makes 12% more of his passes in the opposition half than Romeu can be seen more clearly, as the majority of Mikel's passes stagger the halfway line.
The Everton game was just one game though where Romeu came on for Mikel. If we take a look at the Newcastle and Blackburn matches again, we can see the same pattern happening.
Over the course of 90 minutes against Newcastle, Oriol Romeu (left) operates in a quadrant ranging from just outside his own box to the halfway line. John Obi Mikel (right) operates in a quadrant which spans the halfway line in to the opposition half.
This has a result on not only how the each player reads the came – it's easier to react when you are sat slightly deeper and have the play in front of you – but also on where they make their tackles.
In the same games, we can see that Oriol Romeu (top) wins six of his eight tackles in a line just outside the 18-yard box against Newcastle. Whereas John Obi Mikel (bottom) is making challenges in both halves of the field against Blackburn.
Oriol Romeu is winning more of his tackles, as he is sat deeper and keeping the game in front of him.
The effect on Chelsea
Romeu's positioning has a beneficial effect for Chelsea. If we compare how the team has performed defensively in games where each player has started, we get some interesting results.
John Obi Mikel start
Oriol Romeu start
|Shots allowed
|Shots on target allowed
|Goals against
Oriol Romeu has only had three starts, but what is interesting is that Chelsea have allowed more shots at goal, but less have been on target and as a result have only conceded 0.3 goals per game.
The reason for this is that with Romeu sat deeper in the formation; teams are being forced to shoot from further out, thus reducing their accuracy.
How Oriol Romeu makes Chelsea better
Oriol Romeu may not have been the most high-price, high-profile signing of the summer, but since he has started, he has brought a resilience to the Chelsea team.
The Spaniard sits deeper within the formation compared to John Obi Mikel, and as a result is able to read the game better, making more tackles and interceptions. He also doesn't venture as far forward as the Nigerian and so is less likely to get caught out defensively.
His positioning allows him to win the ball back, but also forces the opposition to shoot from further out, thus reducing their accuracy and improving Chelsea's goals against average.
Oriol Romeu has only started three games for Chelsea, but so far the signs are promising.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Plan to Have a Baby After Tour: Report
Justin Timberlake, 32, and Jessica Biel, 31, started dating in 2007 and got married last October. It only makes sense that they might be thinking about The Next Step.
According to On the Air With Ryan Seacrest, J&J are reportedly going to start trying for kids after JT's "Legends of the Summer" tour with Jay-Z, and after his own solo tour, "The 20/20 Experience." Justin supposedly needed time to decide whether he wanted to have kids or not, and it sounds like he's go for launch! However ... even if they try for kids after the tour, that's still not until sometime in 2014. He'll be traveling across North and South America, plus Europe and Australia. His North American tour dates were just released, and they start at the end of October and go through February 2014. And that's just the start.
So it's possible, if they do stick to this post-tour baby plan, we may not hear any pregnancy news until late 2014 or even 2015. Not that anyone is rushing them — better for him to focus on his major tour now than after he has kids and Jessica wishes he was around more often. And it's not like she has nothing to do — she's currently in pre-production on a movie called The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, and Justin is serving as the film's composer and music supervisor.
So Baby Timberlake will be arriving on his or her own schedule — as befitting a mini superstar!

Barack Obama is tired of your motherf*ck#ng shit:audio of Obama cursing
If you've ever read President Obama's Dreams From My Father, good for you. I couldn't get past the foreword.
I wish I had. Because today I discovered that there's a fairly juicy little subplot in the book, involving one of Obama's high school friends.
Ray, a fellow classmate of Obama's, was also bi-racial, and also trying to define himself. But what set him apart was his colorful manner of self-expression. Ray cursed like a motherfucker.
This would all be snickerworthy enough, but it turns out that Obama actually read the audiobook version of Dreams From My Father.
And that means he read Ray's quotes. click for (audio inside)And that means you're about to hear the President of United States using language that would finish Cheney off once and for all.

Michael Vick Project releases bombshell on air
Update set to get highest ratings tonight by Bruce Banter
BET has moved up the charts in ratings this month thanks to Michael Vick.
The former Atlanta Falcons QB who now plays for the Philadelphia Eagles has been telling his ordeal with dog fighting on as the subject of a 10-part series that began 3 weeks ago on Tuesday night on BET, "The Michael Vick Project."
I'm Michael Vick," Vick says over the opening credits. "My fall from grace was tragic, but it was all my fault, and I'm on a mission to get everything back. Not the money and the fame, but to restore my family's good name."
Indeed, there are plenty of people in this world who would not regard Vick's adventures in dog fighting as anything to apologize for in the first place — nothing to go to prison for, anyway, as he did. Many humans are insensitive to the sensitivity of other species. (For that matter, many humans are unconscious of the humanity of whole classes of other humans.) And though Vick admits here that his treatment of his dogs was "inhumane and barbaric," the genesis of his behavior is revealed tonight.
Vick says "I started killing dogs because (more…)
Tiger Woods emerges in first public sighting since car accident with Snoop Dogg
Breaking News-Tiger Wood spotted in public
California -Tiger Woods has come out of seclusion after much speculation about his whereabouts.
Everybody close to him had been trying to reach him to no avail since Nov.25th. Today he just shows up in California with well know rapper Calvin Broadus who is known as Snoop Dogg. In an interview with Magazine entrepreneur, Darryl James former basketball stars Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan both expressed sadness over mutual friend Tiger Woods.
According to Barkley, Woods has changed his phone number and is refusing to converse with his "famous" friends. Barkley, a studio analyst for TNT's NBA coverage, told James, "I think when you have these fires in your life, as I call them; you need to talk to somebody else who is famous who [has] been through things in their life."
"I can't reach him and now today we hear rumors that he is flying out to talk with Snoop!" (more…)
Chris Rock wife gets rid of hair after seeing "Good Hair"

Rock's Wife goes natural By Ooh Papi
Atlanta – Chris Rock gave his movie going audiences a few surprises in his documentary Good Hair but yesterday he can home to a surprise of his own when he saw his own wife sporting afro puffs. Chris Rock told radio station 90.3 fm that he was not totally surprised to see Malaak's new look. Rock said that his wife mentioned how cute Lady of Rage hairdo was several times last week and ordered a few 90's era albums she was on, off of Amazon.
"My wife doesn't even listen to rap anymore so I thought that was odd".
Chris said "as a comedian you get a feel for people naturally that is where the humor comes from. So I sensed a bigger change was coming on soon. I just did not realize that soon would be 9 days". (more…)

Cheney and Rumsffeld: Yes,we can
By MAUREEN DOWD
Dick and Rummy are at Cafe Milano in Georgetown, holding court. The maître d' fawns. Waiters hover. Tourists snap pics on their digital cameras. Cable chatterers stop by to ingratiate themselves.
It isn't so much that Dick and Rummy are back. It's that they never left.
They had no intention of turning America's national security over to the Boy Wonder. The two best infighters in Washington history weren't yielding turf to a bunch of peach-fuzz pinkos who side with terrorists.
Let W. work out at the S.M.U. gym in Dallas, waiting for history to redeem him; Dick and Rummy are leaning forward into history, as they always do. Cheney is tawny with TV makeup; there's no point taking it off. The gigs are n onstop, and he has a big Obama-bashing speech Thursday at the American Enterprise Institute. (more…)

The Supreme Court is wrong on this point. In Henderson, the court distinguished between appeals to an Article III court (as in immigration cases) and appeals to an Article I court (as in veterans benefits). The Supreme Court did not explain this distinction.
It did look to the language of 38 U. S. C. §7266(a), the statute allowing Veterans appeals, and said that language is not "jurisdictional."
We see no distinction between this language and that allowing appeal in immigration cases. INA 242(a)(2)(B) says an immigration appeal "must be filed not later than 30 days after the final order of removal." If the court sees a distinction between the words "must" and "shall," it did not explain the difference.
"In order to obtain review by the Court of Appeals
for Veterans Claims of a final decision of the Board
of Veterans' Appeals, a person adversely affected by
such decision shall file a notice of appeal with the
Court within 120 days after the date on which notice
of the decision is mailed pursuant to section 7104(e) of
this title."
The Supreme Court also noted that 38 U. S. C. §7266(a) does not include the deadline in the section titled "organization and jurisdiction" but rather under the "procedure" section of the statute. INA 242 does the same thing, placing the deadline in 242(b) under the heading "requirements for review of orders of removal" instead of in 242(e), which has the heading "exclusive jurisdiction."
The court also found significant that in Veterans appeals, the administrative Board can review the denial of benefits de novo and, and a veteran can reopen her denied appeal with new and material evidence. Immigration appeals have the same form, and there is little or no distinction here. Without better explanation from the court, we are left to wonder why it is that veterans appeals are not jurisdictional but immigrant appeals are - given the similarity in statutory language and scheme in both cases.

MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) - The University of Iowa didn't bill Medicaid for two abortions performed since July 1, leaving the governor without a decision to make.
Last spring the Legislature voted to require the governor's personal approval before Medicaid could pay for any abortions. Gov. Terry Branstad said he was ready to do so.
The new law doesn't require the governor's permission for abortions to be performed.
The university's vice president of medical affairs, Dr. Jean Robillard, told The Des Moines Register that the two abortions would have qualified for Medicaid reimbursement because both involved fetal anomalies. Robillard declined to say whether the decision not to bill them to Medicaid was related to the new requirement for the governor's approval.
Iowa's Medicaid program paid nearly $20,000 total for 22 abortions in fiscal 2012.

Blackhawks Stanley Cup Playoff tickets on sale nowContinue reading.
Stanley Cup playoff games score big ratings boost for NBC
When it comes to this year's Stanley Cup playoffs, there's already a winner: NBC, whose networks and streaming site are seeing a big jump in the ratings compared to last year.
NBC Sports Group attributes the spike largely to a new playoff format that's emphasized divisional rivalries in the first round.
NBC aired three 2014 Stanley Cup playoff games last weekend. Final viewership figures are only available for Saturday's infamous matchup that resulted in Brent Seabrook getting a three-game suspension. Game 2 of the Blackhawks-Blues averaged 1.855 million viewers, up 52 percent from the comparable game in 2013 (NYR-Was, 1.217 viewers, 5/4/13).
Through the first five days of the playoffs (April 16-20), NBCSN is averaging 621,000 viewers (10 games), up 61 percent vs. 2013 (386,000 for 10 games).
In its third year of televising Stanley Cup playoff games, CNBC is averaging 295,000 viewers (four games), up 25 percent vs. 2013 (236,000 for seven games).
Overall cable coverage (NBCSN and CNBC), which is blacked out in the home markets during the first round, is averaging 521,000 viewers (14 games), up 63 percent compared to the first five days of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs (320,000 for 17 games).
NBC Sports Group says interest in this year's postseason has been bolstered by:
- Six two-goal comebacks so far this postseason, just two fewer than the total of eight for the entire 2013 playoffs.
- Twelve one-goal games.
- The Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings meeting in the postseason for the first time since 1957.
- The New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers matching up in the playoffs for the first time in 17 years.
- The Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues meeting for the first time in 12 years.
Through the first five days, NBC Sports Live Extra's live streaming coverage has delivered 18.8 million minutes, 206,000 unique viewers, 508,000 visits and 1.22 million live starts. Those figures are up 532 percent (2.98 million minutes), 482 percent (36,000 uniques), 469 percent (89,000 visits), and 739 percent (145,000 live starts), respectively, vs. the first five days of the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs.
Games are averaging 1.11 million minutes consumed, 26,000 unique viewers, 30,000 visits and 72,000 live starts in 2014. Game 1 of Blackhawks-Blues, which went into triple overtime, has generated the most consumption with 2.7 million minutes.
Following are the top five games in minutes consumed (*Required authentication):
April 17 Game 1 Blackhawks-Blues 2.70 million*
April 19 Game 2 Blackhawks-Blues 2.40 million
April 20 Game 2 Red Wings-Bruins 1.85 million

Wearing: anything to keep me warm! It's currently a balmy 3 degrees C at 10am in Melbourne. It's been cold, guys. Usually, my weekend wardrobe includes jeans, boots, a jumper, and my new(ish) favourite jacket from Bronze Snake Shop.
Following: I'm loving folkmagazine on Instagram at present, and have been searching through the pages of AWTW blog for inspiration.
Bookmarking: HA! This is my latest bookmark. That's embarrassing.
Excited for: our trip back to Adelaide in August! It's been way too long, and I need to see the sea.
Planning: to go op-shopping this weekend. Yay! (Also trying to imagine what my life will look like once I've finished my degree... I'm pretty excited for that.)
Feeling: tired, content, grateful.
Wanting: an Aeropress. Some new jumpers. A new camera lens. My tax money to come through. To travel.
Grateful for: my job, the sunshine, my Rufus.
Watching: Entourage (don't judge me) and Penny Dreadful. We also recently finished Jim Henson's Creature Shop, Best Ink, and Ink Master.
Reading: I'm re-reading the Fables comics, and have Under the Tuscan Sun bookmarked by my bed.
Drinking: lots of green tea! Red wine. And occasionally a coffee.
Listening: Mind Over Matter by Young the Giant, Yearling XL by Ace Reporter, and Pools by Glass Animals, just to name a few.
Loving: the sunshine today! I can handle the cold; but I'm a misery guts when the sun isn't out.

McCrory seeks funding for drug courts
Local officials are giving mixed reviews to a section of Gov. Pat McCrory's state budget request that calls for a restoration of state funding for drug-treatment courts.
The governor's budget envisions spending $3.3 million in fiscal 2013-14 and $3.7 million the following year on a program and 45 positions he said would "help break the cycle of addiction that adds to the cost" of the state's mental-health-care system.
He also laid down a marker, saying he would "fight for this court in the legislature" as the state House and Senate work up their own versions of the budget.
McCrory's proposal would undo a 2011 decision that saw the General Assembly eliminate state funding for a program critics said was benefiting only a few counties.
Durham and Orange as it happens were two of the counties where authorities were offering some non-violent drug offenders court-supervised treatment in lieu of potential jail time.
In both, county leaders responded to the 2011 decision by using local money to keep drug courts running, shouldering operational bills that add up to about $139,000 a year.
McCrory's proposal to have the state resume support for drug courts is "a good start," Durham Chief District Judge Marcia Morey said.
Funding them is "not what [legislators in 2011] considered to be an essential function of the courts, but many people believe this is essential and I'm glad that the governor has made it a priority," she said.
Orange-Chatham Chief District Judge Joe Buckner likewise welcomed the news, but was quick to point out that court budgets are tight enough that cuts elsewhere could affect the willingness of prosecutors, defense lawyers and judges to support the effort.
"You can't miss the fact that it's all connected," Buckner said. "If they reinstate drug courts and take away resources from the DA's office, that's going to be a problem."
McCrory's budget does in fact propose a within-the-courts money shuffle – though not one that targets prosecutors specifically – to fund gubernatorial priorities and other mandates.
Among other things, it asks the judicial system, overseen by the N.C. Administrative Office of the Courts, to absorb a $3.5 million-a-year, 62-position "voluntary reduction in force."
Legislators in 2011 slashed court staffing heavily, ordering a reduction initially of about 303 jobs statewide. The cuts included 32 positions devoted to drug courts, along with a much-larger "voluntary reduction in force" than McCrory now suggests.
Durham County Commissioner Ellen Reckhow, co-chair of the Durham Crime Cabinet, said further reductions in court staffing are for her "a negative" when it comes to sizing up the governor's proposal.
"I don't necessarily see fat in the judicial system," Reckhow said. "If anything, staffing is quite lean, given the case loads."
Buckner likewise noted that staffing affects decision-making throughout the court system, such as on the priority different types of offenses receive from authorities.
A shortage of magistrates has contributed to lower arrest rates in some parts of Chatham County, for example.
"In my mind, it's all connected," Buckner said. "You can get better posturing, but you can't usually starve an organization into excellence. The DA's office, I don't see how it can get any thinner there."
But Buckner also said judicial and county leaders embraced drug courts because the treatment option promises both a short-term reduction in the use of local jails and the chance of a longer-term reduction in crime.
The jail-cell angle has contributed locally to the willingness of county leaders to pick up the tab for drug courts, he added.
That's because the state's put pressure on counties by asking them to house people who receive short sentences, in lieu of bringing the inmates into the N.C. prison system.
That threatened to undermine local-level capital planning and sparked more interest in alternatives to putting people behind bars, Buckner said.
Simply by raising to 90 days the minimum sentence that merits assignment of a prisoner to the N.C. correctional system, the state handed down a "game changer" that exposed county jails to handling about "85 percent of the misdemeanor sentencing grid except for DWIs," Buckner said.
Arguments about cost-shifting between state and local government are nothing new, however.
McCrory, a former Charlotte mayor, attained statewide prominence in the early 2000s by helping organize opposition to former Gov. Mike Easley's attempt to balance a recession-ravaged state budget by cutting revenue sharing with local governments.

IntroductionFederal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140 – Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules [FIPS 140] is a U.S. Federal government standard that defines a minimum set of security requirements for products that implement cryptography. The standard is designed for cryptographic modules that are used to help secure sensitive, but unclassified information.
FIPS 140-1, the original working version of the standard, became official on January 11, 1994 and was in effect until May 25, 2002, when FIPS 140-2 became the mandatory standard for new products. Testing against the FIPS 140 standard is maintained by the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), a joint effort between the National Institute of Standards (NIST) and the Communications Security Establishment of Canada (CSEC).
Microsoft Windows has a long history of participation in the CVMP under FIPS 140-2.
Note For more information about the details of Microsoft's participation in the program, refer to the Technical Article FIPS 140 Evaluation at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc750357.aspx
In most cases, the CMVP does not certify the whole application space, only the critical cryptographic service components. Therefore the specific modules that have successfully completed the testing program can claim to be "FIPS Certified". All other higher layer applications that use these certified components can be said to be "FIPS compliant" or "Operating in FIPS mode" or "uses FIPS technology".
Requirements for FIPS 140-2 Compliance with Microsoft Dynamics CRMSetting up a FIPS compliant operating environment requires running the following:
Windows ServerThe first step in configuring a FIPS 140-2 compliant operating environment is to configure the computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 x64 by enabling the FIPS security setting. To enable the Windows Server FIPS security setting either in the Local Security Policy or as part of Group Policy, follow these steps:
When the SQL Server 2008 service detects that FIPS mode is enabled at startup, SQL Server 2008 logs the following message in the SQL Server error log:
Additionally, the following message may be logged in the Application log:
To make sure that the server is running in FIPS compliant mode, locate and verify the existence of the first (and possibly the second) message.
Special Considerations for Deployments with Windows Network Load BalancingFor Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 deployments with Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB), compliancy with FIPS 140-2 requires that configuration change to the .Net machine config.xml file on the CRM Web Servers.
To ensure FIPS compliancy for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 implementations leveraging NLB, follow these steps:
Add Registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM Email\MSCRMFIPSCompliance = 1 (Dword) on Email Router server then install Email Router.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM client for Microsoft Office Outlook
Please see the following article:
Error message when you try to configure the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 client for Outlook: "This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms"
More information
If the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 platform is configured by using the procedures here, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 will exclusively use FIPS Certified algorithms and components for all covered cryptographic functions and will therefore be operating in FIPS 140-2 compliant mode.

After a long absence, finally, independent wrestling is coming back to Swift Current.
Regina's Ringside Wrestling will be presenting an action packed five match card at the Salvation Army gymnasium on May 24, making the first time in three or four years since a wrestling event has been hosted in Swift Current. The Regina based independent wrestling company boasts the imposing Massive Damage, along with grapplers like The Wildchild, The Lion Warrior, Joey Vandetta, Billy Bones and The Hangman.
"It's going to be wild and wooly, but it's going to be a good time," admitted local promoter Dennis Hamm who is assisting with bringing Ringside Wrestling to the city.
"We've been trying to work to get a show in town, but it just wasn't working for the venue. You have to have at least a couple of hundred people that you can get in there to have any kind of viability."
Things recently came together to host the show, with Hamm and Ringside Wrestling now starting the process of advertising and attracting a crowd to the evening of entertainment.
"I've been a wrestling fan for I would say close to 45 years. I watched Stampede Wrestling when it was on TV with Stu Hart and Ed Whalen. I've met some of the wrestlers," Hamm admitted, noting that wrestling fans will enjoy the opportunity to come out and boo at the bad guys and cheer for the good guys.
"What they're urging is come out and have fun, watch something different, and just support two local charities that are well know in the City of Swift Current."
The event is a fundraiser for the Swift Current SPCA to assist them in keeping their Animal Shelter doors open. The evening will also help support the Salvation Army Food Bank, with non perishable food items being accepted at the door for the Food Bank.
The May 24 event will take place at the Salvation Army gymnasium (780 1st Ave. N.W.), and doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.
Advance tickets are available at the Salvation Army Thrift Store, the Swift Current SPCA Book Store, or from Dennis at 306-750-0118. Advance tickets are $15 and tickets are available at the door for $20.

A general solution for optimum design of a radiaton chemical reaction vessel having an internal uniform triangular array of long, thin γ-ray sources is derived. The dependence of chemical production rate on amount and distribution of radioactive material and on size and shape of vessel is accounted for. Values for two general design parameters (vessel efficiency, ψ, and unit cell efficiency, µ) as a function of the vessel diameter and source spacing are given and include radiation buildup. The rate equation expressed as a power law of the radiation intensity is combined with information on the dependence of cost of reactor vessel on volume and pressure. The total cost of source material and vessels is then minimized to determine optimum size and number of vessels and the number of curies of radiation. The rate and cost equations are applied to the radiation polymerization of ethylene. By the methods outlined here it is possible to determine the parameters of an optimum irradiation assembly. The dimensions of the vessel and source array and the quantity of radioactive source material necessary for a given rate of production are determined for the minimum cost condition.

This is a very good wax, I've actually used the paste and the liquid. Both waxes give a very nice slick shine. The paste get the job done quicker, but you can put the paste over the entire automobile instead of doing a panel at a time then remove it and get an even slicker finish, and with the liquid after it haze you're going have an awesome wet look as well. You can't go wrong with either wax !

I have it in the shade light beige. I use it under and on top of the E.L.F flawless finish foundation since it was a little darker for me it blends in to my right color. I would buy this again when I really need it but I rather prefer the studio line one better since it comes with more product in it.

At first, being such an oily skin/acne prone/sensitive skin gal, I thought for a $1, why not? It gave such good coverage for a powder but literally 3 hours after taking it off, I had red bumps of acne all on my face! It was a disaster! This product made me broke out so bad! I'm extremely disappointed.

I have very oily skin and I am super impressed with this Product! I use the light beige which is dark enough to cover all of my imperfections but not too dark so that I look like tanning bed add! the texture is very smooth! it goes on very nicely with the pad that comes with it! the ONLY CON is that it doesn't last very long. However it is ONLY $1!! I love it!!

It only has %1 salicylic acid, so I don't know how effective it really is at clarifying. I just bought it because it's so cheap. I wear it both under and over my foundation. I have very yellow-toned skin and the lightest color matches me pretty well. It seems to run out a bit quickly, though.

First I thought that this product was amazing, it was cheap and the shade matched my skin. But after few days of using it I noticed that my face was covered with small pimples, this product was said to be clarifying, but it only made my skin worse. Wouldn't buy this again! My skin is quite dry so maybe if you have oily skin then this would work for you.

A decent purse powder. Great for teens and affordable I wish the packaging was better and that they had better shades but it's a nice powder nothing special but not bad.
I would use this over rimmel stay matte any day!

GREAT emergency powder especially if you're on a budget! minimal packaging, no mirror but this product only costs a dollar or two so I'm not complaining. Color and oil control are both decent (I'm very oily) but I do
find myself reapplying about every two hours.

Ahh, this implies using non-SCA drives which I don't recommend, it's not
worth it. SCSI-ID jumpers, seperate power cables, seperate data cables,
basically a nightmare. I buy 5 buy enclosures, they take one power cable
(2 for fallover) and one data cable, no messing with scsi id's.
Other things to contemplate:
If you have redunant disks do you have spare cables?
Spare controllers?
Spare machines?
Spare fans?
I really like the fact that I can keep spare 39160's on other machines,
and migrate 5 disk raids between machines as necessary. Recovering from
a dead 39160 is easy if you have another. I've seen many sites with
fancy hardware raid controllers that are expensive enough so they don't
have spares. If they die then your looking at waiting for fedex before
you get your disks online.
With a spare 5 disk enclosure you can migrate raidsets between machines
in a few minutes or two without tools.

Study of human identical twins and genetically altered mice gut bacteria, reveals that after ingesting fermented milk-products, carbohydrate digestion increases.
By Leah Farrell
The human body is made up of about 100 trillion cells and also contains about ten times as many microorganisms in their intestinal tract (1). These gut flora, or intestinal microbiota, aid humans in their digestion of certain large polysaccharides, sugars, because they produce enzymes that humans are unable to produce themselves (2). Gut flora have an estimated 100 times as many genes as there are in the human genome and this allows them to produce those enzymes we are unable to (1). Without these microorganisms humans wouldn't be able to digest certain starches, fiber, and oligosaccharides (2). Nathan McNulty and colleagues conducted an experiment to test the effects of ingesting fermented milk products, dairy products, that only contained five well documented species of bacteria on the normal flora of identical twins as well as on genetically altered mice (3). The goal of this experiment was to understand the genetic and nutritional factors that allow human's mutually beneficial relationship with microbes to occur (3).
The diversity of the microorganisms found in the human gut is due to a combination of human genes, environmental factors, ingestion of antibiotics, and diet (3). These factors are why it is difficult to conduct studies on the gut of humans because each person's gut may contain completely different species of flora from one day to the next. Monozygotic, identical, twins were chosen as good test subjects because they have the same genes and experienced similar dietary factors early on in life that no two other individuals experienced (3). Genetically altered mice were created for this experiment to contain a model of microorganisms that represent the model of human gut flora (3). One group of mice was feed the same five bacteria that the human participants ingested only once while a second group of mice was fed the five bacteria twice more after the initial feeding.
Seven adult female pairs of identical twins agreed to be participants in this study. The women did not consume any antibiotics six months before the experiment, none had a history of gastrointestinal diseases, none consumed probiotics, none had a history of gluten allergies, and none of the women were vegans or lacto-vegetarians. Four weeks before these women began ingesting the diary products containing the five strains of bacteria three stool samples were collected to test their normal levels of gut flora. At week four each participant was shipped their first sample of fresh diary product; a new shipment came every two weeks and four stool samples were collected during this time. Two more samples were collected after week twelve when the women stopped consuming the altered diary product to test the levels of gut flora.
No significant change in the variety of species of gut flora occurred in both the mouse and human participants. Of the five species ingested B. Animalis subsp. lactis was present in the highest levels in the gut flora in mice and human. The most note worthy observation from this experiment is that all participants exhibited an increased ability to digest carbohydrates while they were consuming the five strains of bacteria, specifically B. Animalis subsp. lactis. The normal model of human flora responded to the introduction of the five strains of bacteria by turning on genes that were not turned on in the absence of the new five. These newly turned on genes enabled both animal and human participants to ferment carbohydrates into propionate, a molecule that can be converted into glucose and therefore absorbed and digested (3). This experiment is a good example of how manipulating the gut flora in humans can increase our ability to digest foods and absorb nutrients that we were previously unable to enhancing our overall health.

One major difference between the two, and a very important difference, is that one is subjective (OFA) and one is objective (PennHIP). Chances are you could have the same x-rays read by different OFA reviewers with different results. PennHip uses replicable measurement methodologies that eliminates the subjectivity. PennHIP is a predictor of the potential for bad hips. It is not a pass fail, it gives you ranges whereby the higer the score the more likely it is that the dog will develop bad hips. The predictive validity of the test has been validated using thousdands of dogs in academic studies that have followed them out several years. Unlike OFA you MUST send in the studies to get the results. Reviewing the films and deciding NOT to send them in for review is not an option, which further strengthens the validity of the results.
In my opinion OFA has become a relic. It has no predictive abilities, it simply tells you if your dog is dysplastic at the time the films were taken, but is subject to errors by both the techician and the person reading the films. The difference in cost is well worth what you get out of PennHIP.

PUBLIC service boss Francis Kimemia yesterday said that he prefers to believe President Barrack Obama rather than his Africa envoy Johnny Carson on how the United States would react if Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto win in the presidential elections.
On Tuesday Obama said the US would respect the will of the Kenyan people but on Thursday Carson clarified that "choices have consequences."
Yesterday French ambassador Etienne de Poncins reiterated that the outcome of the election will have "consequences" and that the French government will have "limited contact with Kenya" if Uhuru and Ruto are elected.
Uhuru and Ruto are due to go on trial at the International Criminal Court on April 10 and 11, the date also scheduled for a second round run-off in the presidential election.
Kimemia said though Obama and Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Carson appeared to have issued contradictory statements, he believes the statement by the President is superior.
"I believe we should go with what the President said. He indicated they will respect the will of Kenyans," said Kimemia during a media breakfast meeting at Intercontinental hotel yesterday.
Kimemia chairs the government Committee on the Assumption of the Office of the President said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been asked to get in touch with the American embassy to find out the exact position.
"We want to welcome the statement issued by the President of the United States of America, I know there has been contradictions since then, with the statement issued yesterday, and I think we shall leave that to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to check which view is supreme. They should get the clarification from the ambassador himself but I believe we should go by what the president said," said Kimemia.
He termed Obama's statement as "very balanced" and said the Foreign Affairs ministry should establish "what that is all about" in reference to Carson's warning of "consequences".
"The choice of who will lead Kenya is up to the Kenyan people. The United States does not endorse any candidate for office, but we do support an election that is peaceful and reflects the will of the people," Obama said on Tuesday.
At a press conference on Tuesday evening, Uhuru and Ruto welcomed Obama's statement saying it showed that they were free to run. They repeated the statement at a rally on Wednesday.
However on Thursday, Carson warned Kenyan voters that "choices have consequences" while re-iterating President Obama's statement that America is not supporting any particular candidate.
In his statement, Carson clarified that Obama's message to Kenyans was not an endorsement of Uhuru and Ruto. He warned in a tele-conference that "choices have consequences" and that Kenya "lives in inter-connected world" where "people should be thoughtful about the impact of their choices on the nation and the world."
Yesterday French ambassador to Kenya Etienne de Poncins also cautioned Kenyans.
"There will be consequences, based on characters elected. Many programmes and international relations will also be determined by who Kenyans choose", said the ambassador.
The ambassador said that if Uhuru and Ruto are elected, France, like any other country, "will have limited contact with Kenya as it is the policy of other countries who are signatory to the Rome Statute."
"It is not a surprise. The choice of leaders to be elected will greatly determine the place of Kenya with other countries within and outside the continent", he said.
De Poncins was meeting with civil society members during his visit to Kisumu to launch of the French cultural and film week..
"We are not going to take sides with any of the coalition. Our concern is free and transparent election process and we will do all we can to ensure that the process is free and fair", said de Poncins.
The ambassador said France supported the stand of the American Government that all electoral disputes should be resolved in court since the judicial system has now reformed.
"It is very difficult to concede defeat but is also democratic to concede defeat as part of moral obligation and the character of the individuals".
