Great pictures but the site owner is a little off with his/her plants of Australia gallery. I assume he/she means natives, but half of them are exotics.
Yeah, it's a trivial point, I know.

Notes & Reviews:
In the Strauss anniversary year, this is Deutsche Grammophon's new key audio release: a truly electrifying once in a lifetime performance of Strauss' Elektra in the Berlin Philharmonie from January 2014
The recording features today's dream cast for Elektra: Evelyn Herlitzius, Anne Schwanewilms, Waltraud Meier and René Pape, all under the expert baton of Strauss master Christian Thielemann.
Released on Strauss' 150th birthday (11.06.), it's just in time for Strauss celebrations at opera festivals in Europe.
This is a historic release since the opera was premiered in Dresden in 1909, with the Staatskapelle - and the orchestra recorded it only once before (in 1960: also for DG with Karl Böhm).
New York Times
... with this production the soprano Evelyn Herlitzius confirms her status as perhaps the finest Elektra of her generation.
Sunday Times, 27th July 2014
A must-hear for [Thielemann's] glorious Dresdeners.
The Guardian, 31st July 2014
It may be the most expressionist of all Strauss's scores, but the overriding impression of this recording is the sheer tonal beauty of the Dresden Staatskapelle under Thielemann: the singers often seem to surf on wave after wave of orchestral sumptuousness.
Gramophone Magazine, September 2014
[Thielemann] conducts with flexibility and clarity. There are no major surprises but, paradoxically, his reading never feels predictable either...This is Strauss-playing of the highest quality...Against this background, Herlitzius's vocal performance maybe sounds a little rougher than it might otherwise...but it remains dramatically compelling.
BBC Music Magazine, October 2014
[Herlitzius] isn't afraid to push [her voice] to its limit...Generally, though, she does convey Elektra's switchback emotions with some power...Pape, an equally recurrent Orestes, is sonorous but restrained. So is Waltraud Meier's light-voiced Klytaemnestra...Thielemann seems to favour Teutonically rich sonorities over dramatic thrust.

"Bring on Rod Stupid!"
If Cameron wants a LTC, then, no thanks!
No thanks on Cameron. I don't like the age or the suspension. Hamilton will blow up next season offensively.
Time for a youth movement in Cincinnati.
Unless the Reds can get at least a #2 starter for Hamilton I'm keepin' him.
And, unless you are trading Hamilton I want no part of Cammeron. At his age his game is in decline, both offensively and defensively. A lot of posters cite Cammy's defensive abilities but, in reality, playing in a small park takes away from what could be his biggest asset. Balls that he caught at Petco are known as souvenirs at GAB.
Some worry that Hamilton will have injury problems but that should also be a major worry for a 35 y.o. I can't help but remember that the 'Cammy hammy' injury in '99 was a big reason the Reds missed winning the division.
PS: Who wrote that Cammeron enjoyed playing with Jr. in '99? Don't these people have fact-checkers? Yikes!
Get Tomko and Cameron back, and they end up getting Griffey for nothing
I was kidding....I don't want Tomko back.
Doesn't Cameron have to end up in Washington for the sake of the "Nati" rule?
What's Antonio Perez doing these days?
This is sort of a non-point since two of the three are no longer here and Cameron never played with Griffey, Jr.in large part because he enjoyed teammates such as Barry Larkin, Ken Griffey Jr., and Greg Vaughn.

Roller Brushes
The roller brush of your vacuum cleaner sweeps dirt and debris off your floors. The bristles of the brush can be worn down over the period of time. This will prevent the brush from collecting all the dust and grime from the carpets and bare floors. The roller brush can be replaced if they are damaged or the bristles are worn out.
How to increase the life span of a roller brush
•The longetivity of the vacuum brush depends on how well you take care of it. The vacuum must be dusted and cleaned once in a while.
•Unfasten the faceplate over the brush bar and remove the plastic faceplate. Using a pair of scissors cut the threads and hair that are entangled around the brush bar.
•Using a rag wipe the dust and debris from the brush bar.
•Replace the faceplate and tighten the fasteners before using the vacuum.

For Greg McKegg, nothing has necessarily come easy in his hockey career.
A slow start to his rookie campaign in Erie, followed by a knee injury which threatened the start of his season this past year, McKegg began the year as a winger for the Erie Otters and was ranked by the ISS ranked in the 90′s.
It was something that McKegg couldn't not think about, no matter how much he tried.
"It's something you try not to think about too much really, but you can't help but look. It was disappointing to see that for sure, but I think it gives you that edge to work harder and show people that you deserve to be higher up on the list."
And that is exactly what he did.
Being described by some in the hockey circles as a perennial underdog, McKegg did the only thing he knew how to do. Work hard.
And the hard work paid off when Brian Burke and the Toronto Maple Leafs selected McKegg 62nd overall in last weekends National Hockey League draft in Los Angeles.
"You know, hearing your name called is a relief, but it's also a huge thrill." McKegg said Wednesday night when we spoke by phone. "It was a dream come true putting on a Leafs jersey and getting to meet guys like Ron Wilson and Brian Burke was very cool. Their whole staff was awesome."
For McKegg, the draft was special for a number of reasons.
Obviously there is something to be said for being drafted into the NHL. Hearing any team call your name on draft day is a special moment that young players dream about from a very early age.
The hope is that the team who calls your name becomes a perfect fit, and with the Toronto Maple Leafs, McKegg thinks he has found just that.
"I really couldn't ask for anything more. I mean it's an arena that is two hours from my house." McKegg said, referring to his hometown of St. Thomas, home of NHL'er Joe Thornton (who's brother John actually represents McKegg.)
"Brian Burke talked to me on the day of the draft, and it sounds like an unbelievable place to play for and I couldn't have been more happy."
The draft was a new beginning for McKegg. The entrance into the elite fraternity that he had been so driven to accomplish throughout his life in the game of hockey.
In fact, through many of those times when McKegg was honing his craft and making himself into the player he was today, there were those around him making sacrifices. Fathers working overtime. Mothers working as a seamstress of sorts, stitching and reworking jerseys that fit just a little too big.
Not to mention the numerous family vacations that were cast aside. Free time spent together not on tropical islands or touring big city landmarks. Rather, spent in cold arenas with little to no heat, and unforgiving wooden seats.
For McKegg, the draft was a beginning into his future. And even though he was the one who's name was called, and the one who got to don the blue and white jersey, the fact that there are several people around him who deserve a lot of the credit isn't lost on the humble Erie Otters forward.
When asked what it was like to spend some time before the draft with his family seeing the sights in Los Angeles, as well as having them by his side during the draft itself, McKegg could not hide his enthusiasm.
"Well yeah, they were a big part of me getting drafted. It was awesome to be able to share it with my family. They were my biggest supporters, so it was really cool to have them there with me."
The journey to get to Los Angeles, and the Toronto Maple Leafs draft table where he shook hands with his new boss, Brian Burke, wasn't always an easy one. But it was one where McKegg worked as hard as he possibly could to be a better player on the ice, something that was evident to those who had the chance to watch him in Erie.
McKegg was drafted second overall in the OHL draft, behind the future NHL number one pick Taylor Hall.
While his first year with the Otters didn't exactly go as planned-he scored only eight goals and 18 points in 64 games-he was determined to work harder than ever and prove he belonged in the Ontario Hockey League, and to mentioned among those in the draft eligible players.
This past year McKegg racked up the points, and continued his development upwards in terms of his physical play, and also his play without the puck. McKegg put up 37 goals and 85 points in 67 games while riding shotgun alongside OHL veterans Zack Torquato and Mike Cazzola to complete what was one of the more effective forward units in the league.
He grew leaps and bounds as a player this past season in Erie. And to ask McKegg, he'll tell you he hasn't even scraped the surface on the type of player he can become, admitting that there is still plenty of room to grow and improve.
"Yeah you know, I didn't have the greatest first year, but I really felt I had it in me to put up some numbers in my second year and I really do think I am just getting started." McKegg said. A humble, honest player off the ice, McKegg shows that his confidence on the ice is growing by the year.
"Even when you look at this current year that just ended, I had a bit of a slow start before I picked it up, so I definitely think I have even more to offer in my third year here coming up."
For McKegg, what he needs to do in order to continue that develop is simple.
"I think basically getting faster and stronger" McKegg said, citing the usual knocks that young prospects get. "I'd really like to get my first two steps to be much more explosive, and of course I think you can always work on the defensive side of the game as well."
Victor Fernandes, writer for the Erie-Times news and GoErie.com has had the chance to watch McKegg closely over the last two seasons, and he likes what he sees.
"What makes him a special player is his work on the defensive end. Even while he struggled as a rookie, he developed into one of the Otters' top defenders" Fernandes said of the Otters forward. "By the end of that season, he was on the ice in key even strength and penalty kill situations. He was reliable, so coaches relied on him."
McKegg will get ample opportunity to work on those self professed flaws in his game. He will likely play a vital role for the Otters next year, under head coach Robbie Ftorek. Ftorek, a former NHL bench boss, gets a lot of praise from the young goal scorer.
"I can't say enough about Robbie" said McKegg of his coach in Erie, an individual who has coached the Bruins, Kings and Devils at the NHL level. Ftorek also has several years of experience coaching at the minor league level, which pairs nicely with his pro playing career.
"He has taught me a lot, even in my first year" McKegg continued. "He really thinks the defensive side of the game well, being a defensive guy. He has also been there, so he knows what it is like up there, and it's very nice to have someone like that learn from."
McKegg also credits his peers, teammates and opponents, for making him a better player, saying the Ontario Hockey League is among the best developmental league in the world. "You know, you see a lot more guys coming out of the OHL these days."
"I think it's an awesome league, and I am really glad I chose that route." McKegg stated of choosing the Ontario Hockey League as the platform to start his career. "I think you see guys really pushing each other to get better. The competition in the OHL is so strong, and I think that really helps all of us out."
Despite only turning 18 earlier this month, McKegg is a player who comes into his third year with the Erie Otters brimming with confidence. He can officially call himself an ( more.....)

Fresno To Mexico ... The Rush
This trip report is a bit shallow on groovy pictures as it involved big distances in a small time (for us anyway) so you will just have to wade through the words.
We left Fresno Thursday 1st November in the morning, the weather was turning and rain was predicted, as luck would have it we snuck out underneath it with only a few spots on the screen.
Our decision was to stay off the interstate per normal so we took the backs roads through and to be honest we dont really lose any time because we are not going hell fast anyway.
This route took us down a great winding back road which was beautiful with the trees laden with leaves changing to the colours of autumn.
Lake Isabella soon appeared, this was an area we had missed out on when going to Fresno so it was great to see it.
We carried on down the main drag south to Victorville which was our next destination, we arrived late after packing a big day mileage wise trying to get to the border.
The camp had toilet and showers so a bit of a treat.
Next day we went set off south east towards Joshua Tree, on arrival we sussed out the Yamaha Shop in Yucca Valley. As mentioned earlier we met Jim there at the counter who recognized us and went out of his way to help.
Again Jim thank you for your generosity and time, your blood is worth bottling.
We managed to get front disc pads but they were out of rears, this wasnt to be a problem as we managed to get some the following day.
Joshua tree was a slight deviation as we were right there and we still had enough time, while in there we met up with Phil Jean, bro and sister heading south too on two KLR 650s, great to meet them and have chats, we will no doubt cross paths heading south and we look forward to swapping travel stories.
Parker was our destination that night at a BLM site right beside the Colorado river, again we ran late and set up nearly in darkness as we took some time with the parts but getting sorted prior Mexico was the No 1 priority.
At the camp we met Mary, Bob and Chuck who were traveling in vans with their bikes in tow on a trailer, they are traveling from place to place and riding around all over the place, great meeting you guys and cheers for the chats at camp, best for your travels too.
Nice place.
In the morning we set off into town to do some shopping for food, there was another Yammy shop there which we managed to pick up rear disc pads from, again the dude behind the counter went out of his way to help, onya mate
Ajo was to be our stop point prior leaving the US, it is 30 miles north of the border, so last calls home while we still had use of T Mobile, catch up on some Mexico research etc, we spotted ourselves the one and only motel we have had on our trip so far, play it safe, get washed, wifid and a place to fix my headlight which blew the bulb coming out of Fresno, luckily it is a std off the shelf part from Napa.
The motel had all the home comforts including a spa and pool so we made good use of these, truly a spoil night for sure.
Setting off for Mexico we hit the road waiving the US goodbye with mixed emotions, this will be talked about in the US sum up and The Hearts Speaks episode three.
Pipe Organ National Park was last on our list with huge cactuses everywhere, quite impressive to say the least and some quite felic in stance ... still small by Kiwi standards tho.
Next in line was the border, a few questions,
Guard, Where are you going?
Me, Mexico
Guard, Where have you come from?
Me, ...arh... USA! ... is that a trick question?
Guard, no
Me, OK (thinking hear we bloody go again 8-D)
Anyway, all friendly, they were keen to hear about our trip so a good chat was had, our B2 cards taken out of our passports and handed over so uncle sam knows we have gone and away we went to the Mexican side.
We hit teh border with 18560 miles on the clock since leaving Anchorage in Alaska.
So we left the country and went 30 metres (back in metric land now) and parked up, walked over to immigracion and got our 180 day tourist VISA, very simple, very quick and very nice lady to deal with, the only thing that surprised us is the TVIP station is now 140 km south of the border which stuffed plan A, plan B was quickly put into place and we tootled of down road 2 the main drag where semis passed on double yellow lines on the brow of hills, at least we now know the road rules.... there arent any!!
We finally arrived at the station, there is no mistaking the place as there is no way through, we thought we had missed it but you simply cannot go through without going there.
The custom officers were very nice, vey helpful and very quick (Note this USA guards) and all the time squeezing in time for a chat about our trip which they were interested in.
Upon finishing with them and them making us $448.00 US each lighter for out TVIP (Temporary Vehicle Import Permit, $400 returnable when we clock out of Mexico), we left back towards Carborca were we got totally lost so decided to quit for the day and stay here the night as it was already 4.30pm.
Trip report time was due, Ellen was spent so I took the quiet time advantage to write this up.
8.14pm now and my eyelids are pushing my knees to the floor, Ellen is already dead to the world dreaming of Mexican hunks and twisty roads.
Good night all.

James Gates Percival
James Gates Percival (September 15, 1795 – May 2, 1856) was an American poet and geologist, born in Berlin, Connecticut and died in Hazel Green, Wisconsin.[1][2]
He was a precocious child, and a morbid and impractical, though versatile, man, with a facility in writing verse on all manner of subjects and in nearly every known meter. His sentimentalism appealed to a wide circle, but his was one of the tapers which were extinguished by James Russell Lowell. He had also a reputation as a geologist. He entered Yale College at the age of 16, and graduated at the age of 20 at the head of his class. After graduating he was admitted to the practice of medicine and relocated to Charleston, South Carolina, where he pursued that profession. In 1824 he was briefly a professor of chemistry at West Point, where he resigned after a few months, and subsequently several years of his labor were devoted to assisting Noah Webster in editing his great American Dictionary of the English Language of 1828. Most of his life was spent at his home in New Haven, Connecticut.
- His poetic works include Prometheus and The Dream of a Day (1843).[3][4]
- A short poem by him The Language of Flowers was set to music by the English composer Edward Elgar at the age of fourteen.[5]

Outside of providing fans with a quick thrill, another good aspect of submission victories during UFC events is that it allows the Gracies to dissect the tap so us non-professionals can understand exactly what went down.
In the latest edition of "Gracie Breakdown," Rener Gracie analyzed Joe Lauzon's (Pictured) impressive triangle choke over Jamie Varner at "UFC on FOX 4."
Although Varner appeared to be winning much of their standup war, the former WEC lightweight champ broke his right hand during the 2ndRound and was forced to change up his game plan and take the scrap to the canvas.
Unfortunately for Varner, he entered into J-Lau's world and found himself wrapped between Lauzon's legs. Moments later, Varner was forced to cry uncle.
Lauzon pocketed $50,000 for 'Submission of the Night' honors. He and Varner also took home the 'Fight of the Night' bonus.

Antivirulence drugs disarm pathogens rather than kill them, and although they could be effective in theory, antivirulence drugs have never been tested in humans. A new study to be published in the online journal mBio on Tuesday, October 18 reveals these drugs have the potential to fight infection while avoiding the pitfalls of drug resistance.
Traditional antibiotics aim to kill or stop the growth of pathogens, but antivirulence drugs prevent disease by neutralizing virulence factors, the specific proteins or toxins that a pathogen uses to establish an infection. Scientists have long thought such a strategy could prevent pathogens from developing drug resistance, since antivirulence drugs don't kill the pathogens that are susceptible and leave a wide opening for the few resistant organisms that may be left. Thus, in theory, antivirulence drugs don't offer much benefit to the pathogens that get around the drug. However, these ideas have never been tested.
The study coming out this week provides evidence that antivirulence drugs have the potential to suppress resistance if they are applied in the right way. Brett Mellbye and Martin Schuster from Oregon State University carried out laboratory simulations to determine the effect antivirulence drug-resistant strains could have on therapy. They found that in pathogens that rely on cell-to-cell communication and cooperation, resistant strains will not overtake sensitive strains, allowing antivirulence therapies that target social interactions to work even when resistance arises.
"It's a very important demonstration of the principle that social effects can slow or even halt the spread of resistance to antivirulence drugs," says Sam Brown, of Edinburgh University, Invited Editor on the study. "Their results align with our understanding of social evolution."
Mellbye and Schuster created a microcosm that simulates an infection, says Brown, and they used bacteria that employ

After taking down Villanova and Morgan State, the Towson University Tigers plan to continue their winning ways against NCAA FCS foes with team coordination honed by coach Rob Ambrose. The four remaining home games promise a thrilling Homecoming on September 24, when the Tigers hope to roar past Colgate's Raiders and claw their way to a collective nomination for homecoming queen. Throughout the season, look for sophomore quarterback Grant Enders?who recently was named CAA Offensive Player of the Week?or speedy running back Sterlin Phifer to celebrate touchdowns in the end zone against the Richmond Spiders and Delaware Blue Hens. Co-captain and defensive back Jordan Dangerfield will try to improve his status as the nation's 24th-ranked sacker by blasting through New Hampshire's offensive line using archaic tactics the Visigoths once used to sack Rome.

Maci and Bentley Go Roller Skating: Cute Teen Mom Pic of the Day
Teen Mom's Maci Bookout and her son, Bentley, spent the weekend skating up a storm at a local roller skating rink, and we have the cute pic to prove it.
Check out this mother-son duo pose for the camera — we seriously cannot believe how big Bents is!
And yes, we too are experiencing major middle-school birthday party flashbacks. Except, minus the cut-throat roller derby girls, and plus an adorable toddler.
Maci and Bentley weren't alone on the rink, they teamed up with a bunch of Maci's friends — including her lovable boyfriend, Kyle King, who just celebrated his 24th birthday!
"taking bentley skating with all muh friends...," Maci tweeted on Sunday, "this should be interesting!!"
If by interesting she means completely and totally adorable, then yes!

Special Issue: Smart cards, big data and travel behaviour
This special issue will focus on the methods and tools used to analyse smart card data and on the resulting analysis of travel behaviour
Data-driven smart-city-enabled traffic system modeling, analysis, and optimization
Rooted upon City Science, Smart City models are characterized in six major aspects: Smart Economy, Smart Mobility, Smart Governance, Smart Environment, Smart Living, and Smart People. As an important component of Smart Cities, transportation network plays a critical role to address the urbanization, competitiveness, sustainability, and mobility issues. Most metropolitan areas are facing significant transportation-related challenges, including excess recurrent and non-recurrent congestion, increased accident risk, severe traffic-related air pollution, critical infrastructure protection, and unsustainable energy consumption, due to increasing population and travel demands, as well as sometimes century-old transportation infrastructure. Developing better operation and management strategies is of practical importance to improve city-scale transportation system operations under the above Smart City research initiatives. Enabled by emerging control, management, and sensing technologies and recent advances in data analytics and urban experiments, Smart City will greatly enhance.

The nLab is a wiki for research-level notes, expositions and collaborative work, including original research, in mathematics, physics, and philosophy, with a focus on methods from category theory and homotopy theory. The nLab espouses the "n-point of view"[1] (a deliberate pun on Wikipedia's "neutral point of view") that category theory and particularly higher n-category theory provide a useful unifying viewpoint for mathematics, physics and philosophy.
The nLab was originally conceived to provide a repository for ideas (and even new research) generated in the comments on posts at the n-Category Café, a group blog run (at the time) by John Baez, David Corfield and Urs Schreiber. It was set up on November 28, 2008 by Schreiber using the Instiki software provided, maintained and installed by Jacques Distler. Eventually the nLab developed into an independent project which has since grown to include whole research projects and encyclopedic material.[2] Adeel Khan Yusufzai is the current system administrator who runs the technical side of the nLab, the domain and virtual server are owned by Urs Schreiber. The nLab has an informal steering committee, which "doesn't run the nLab",[3] but exists in order to resolve issues that would cause the whole project to run into trouble.
The nLab is associated with the nForum, an online discussion forum (run and maintained by Andrew Stacey) for announcement and discussion of nLab edits (the analog of Wikipedia's "talk" pages) as well as for general discussion of the topics covered in the nLab. The preferred way of contacting the nLab steering committee is to post on the nForum.[4] An experimental sub-project of the nLab is the Publications of the nLab, intended as a journal for refereed research articles that are published online and cross-hyperlinked with the main wiki.
The nLab is listed on MathOverflow as a standard online mathematics reference to check before asking questions.[5] Many questions and answers link to the nLab for background material.[6]
The nLab is one of two wikis mentioned by the mathematical physicist John C. Baez in his review of math blogs for the American Mathematical Society.[7]

Airbus is contributing directly to the Hurricane Katrina emergency relief effort with the largest cargo carrier in the world. An Airbus aircraft, the A300-600 Super Transporter, nicknamed "Beluga" because of its unique, whale-like shape, is assisting the governments of France and the United Kingdom by transporting critical relief supplies being donated to aid victims in the Hurricane stricken areas of the United States.
The Beluga left Toulouse (France) on Wednesday morning, 7th September, and is expected to arrive in Mobile, Alabama (USA) with its cargo of disaster relief supplies on Thursday.
"On behalf of all Airbus employees, I would like to express our most sincere sympathies to all those who have been affected by this devastating hurricane," said Gustav Humbert, President and CEO of Airbus. "Our thoughts are with the people of the US Gulf Coast region, and we want to do whatever we can to contribute to the aid operation and provide needed relief in these tragic circumstances."
Airbus has placed one of its Belugas at the disposal of the French and U.K. governments. The aircraft is transporting much needed supplies, such as tents, camp-beds, blankets and other relief items. Loaded in Toulouse (France) and Chester (UK), the Beluga is en route to Brookley Field in Mobile, where the supplies will be unloaded for distribution in the affected Gulf Coast region.
"After the Tsunami at the beginning of the year, this disaster shows that no part of the world can be spared from such terrible events and that humanity is affected in a similar way everywhere," Mr. Humbert added. "It is gratifying to Airbus to be able to offer the unique capabilities of the Beluga to help people in need."
Airbus is an EADS joint company with BAE Systems.

Every class at Inner Me emphasizes empowerment for both men and women through physical confidence, coaxing sexy and strong from even the most lethargic body. Age, shape, weight, and barometric pressure have no bearing on your ability to heft, pirouette, or have fun. Ninety minutes of pole-dancing aerobics builds your abs and upper body through basic moves such as spins and inverts, while stiletto fit lets you unleash your inner dance diva (heels are optional). Urban kick boxing tones your core at a furious, focused pace for an hour, while hip-hop yoga allows you to build flexibility and tensile strength without harsh impact. One of the studio's more unusual classes, the hour-long piyolet mixes pilates, yoga, and ballet into a triumvirate of grace and strength. Sinuous belly dance centers its practitioners within themselves, gently toning and carving each person's body into serpine splendor, and you get to bring a scarf to class to tie around your waist. Inner Me will be adding other classes, including chair dancing, coreology, and boxing circuit training this month.

KPMG's leadership blogs brings you insight, opinion and debate from our senior partners and industry experts.
Responding to news that charges have been halved for surfing the internet, or making and receiving calls, whilst roaming in the EU, KPMG's Sean Kennedy argues that whilst consumers will benefit from lower bills, there is a risk that they may also face mixed service levels, as operators have less money available to upgrade networks across Europe.
A director in KPMG's UK Telecoms Regulation team, Sean says: "When it comes to totting up the cost of this year's summer holiday, consumers are likely to welcome a reduction in roaming fees. However, their delight could well turn to frustration in years to come as, with fewer funds available, operators may struggle to improve infrastructure across Europe, meaning the user experience is likely to fluctuate as they cross borders.
"Eventually, the plan is to abolish roaming fees completely. If this does happen and the differentials between national and international rates are removed, there may be little to stop UK customers from switching their existing UK operator to one in another member state offering a cheaper price per minute or megabyte. In this respect the 'freedom to roam' may give customers more choice, but it also raises questions about how the industry will cope in an environment where the link between cost and price is broken. It will be crucial that any future regulation is carefully structured to take in to account the economic incentives to invest."

College Football Power Rankings - Week 10
Two undefeated Power 5 teams -- Mississippi State and Florida State -- are making things easy.
All those one-loss teams? Not so much.
You might remember Alabama and Oregon from the top four in Week 1. Well, they're back. With one loss. With a healthy offensive line, Oregon has officially been forgiven for its home loss to Arizona. The Ducks' win over Michigan State still holds as one of the best this season, considering the Spartans' success. Alabama's only loss was at Ole Miss, and the head-to-head is sure to be debated. The Rebels' playoff hopes are far from over, and they are still a top-10 team.
TCU was a big mover this week after racking up 82 points against a lowly Texas Tech defense. With the exception of LSU's win over Ole Miss, college football stuck to the script in Week 9. That didn't make things any easier to figure out.

FLOWERY BRANCH - Jim Mora started his session with the media like he always does, going over the Atlanta Falcons' injury report.Might want to grab a seat, folks. This is going to take a while. The Falcons' coach called out nine players who missed Wednesday's practice with injuries ranging from the serious (defensive end John Abraham is still recovering from abdomen surgery) to the not-so-bad (defensive tackle Grady Jackson has a habitually sore knee). And that didn't even include safety Kevin Mathis and offensive guard Kynan Forney, who both went on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season. While football is a brutal sport in which injuries are an accepted part of doing business, Mora is getting a little concerned about how the Falcons (5-3) will cope over the second half of the season. ''Every coach will tell you, 'You can't worry about injuries. You've got to play the guys who are out there,''' Mora said. ''That sounds good. That's what you tell your players. But when you're a coach, you worry about it. ... When you start losing a lot of guys at the same time, it can have a cumulative affect that is hard to overcome.'' He doesn't think the Falcons are at the breaking point yet, but it's apparent they can't afford to have too many more players go down. For Sunday's game against Cleveland, the offensive line will be without starting guards Forney and Matt Lehr, who has one more week left on his steroids-related suspension. Rookie sensation Jerious Norwood, the understudy to running back Warrick Dunn, is questionable because of a sprained knee ligament. On the other side of the line, Abraham has played only two games this season because of a groin injury and will likely be out at least two more weeks while he recovers from the related surgery. Middle linebacker Ed Hartwell came back from arthroscopic surgery on both knees to play in two games, but his lateral movement was so lacking that Mora sent him back to the training staff for more work. Mathis was a key player in the team's nickel packages. ''It's tough on a football team when you have so many guys go down midway through the season,'' quarterback Michael Vick said. ''We all know this is a tough sport. That's part of the game. It's unfortunate, but you've got to keep on pushing and playing until those guys are ready to come back.'' Forney and Mathis won't be coming back after going down in last Sunday's dismal 30-14 loss to the Detroit Lions. Forney dislocated his right shoulder for the third time in the last five games, prompting the Falcons to shut down a key blocker in the running game for the rest of the year. It hasn't been determined if he will need surgery As for Mathis, he sustained a scary neck injury while trying to make a tackle on the opening kickoff. He remained on the turf for several agonizing minutes and was treated overnight in a Detroit hospital, then returned to Atlanta wearing a bulky brace. While the Falcons expect him to make a full recovery, his career could be over. Mathis was one of the Falcons' most popular players, inspiring his teammates by coming back from a severe knee injury that kept him out most of last season. He was usually the first guy off the bench in passing situations, allowing the team to slowly bring along its top draft pick, cornerback Jimmy Williams. ''I respect the heck out of (Mathis) as a player,'' Mora said. ''He's a tough, competitive, extremely feisty player. We'll miss him.'' The Falcons moved on by signing 31-year-old safety Lance Schulters, who started every game last season for the Dolphins but was out of a job through the first half of the season. He won't be used in Sunday's game, giving him time to learn Atlanta's system. Williams will be used in the nickel schemes, while Cam Newton will back up safeties Lawyer Milloy and Chris Crocker.

Ever the style rule-breaker, she combined a few trends with her hair and makeup. Visible roots, visible lift, blackberry-colored lips, and classic red nails made for a, well, memorable look. I love seeing risks on the red carpet, but this combination of trends is a bit much for me. Do you think Agyness works it, or is it too quirky for even her?

And I can vouch for those 2500 series jobo tanks with the film holder. I used that system for years before getting the Expert and a motor base. They work great, and I never had streaking or mottling of any kind. The ONE drawback is that they use a lot of chemistry.

Genesis 41:1–46
Affliction, mistreatment, persecution, hardship, and pain often characterize the Christian walk (1 Peter 4:12). But sometimes God rescues us from our plight, bringing us into new circumstances. For thirteen years Joseph had been a slave in Egypt. But God was faithful; He never abandoned Joseph. And all the while, His plans for Joseph were in motion, leading Joseph to the cusp of his release and an unexpected blessing. Through his example, we should be encouraged to trust God—even in difficult times of waiting.

Preheat oven to 325F degrees. Lightly butter each cup of 12 cup mini muffin tin. If your mini muffin pan does NOT have removable bottoms, I would recommend using paper cups in each cup.
Put all gingersnap crust ingredients (except butter) into food processor. Chop until thoroughly mixed and resembles a pasty crumb mixture. Once finely chopped, add in butter and whirl gingersnap crust again until combined. Divide gingersnap crumb mixture equally amongst all mini muffin cups. Press down firmly and bake at 325F for 8 minutes. Reset oven to 300F when the crust is done.
Beat all blue cheesecake ingredients (except eggs) together in mixer. Once all blue cheesecake ingredients are thoroughly combined, add eggs and continue to mix until well blended. Divide the filling amongst the 12 cups; fill about 3/4 full.
Bake for 30 minutes or until mostly set. Look for the cheesecake to have nicely browned edges. They will look puffed up and luscious. Remove cheesecakes from oven and cool for 30 minutes while still in the muffin pan. These are impossibly decadent with a good glass of white wine and a simple, elegant side salad.

Rogue Founder and Editor-in-Chief: Jonathan Ryan
Jonathan Ryan is an author, screenwriter, columnist, blogger, and member of the Horror Writers Association.
His debut horror mystery novel, 3 Gates of the Dead (Open Road Media), earned multiple rave reviews including, New York Journal of Books, Midwest Book Review, Library Journal, and the Director of Development of The Wolper Organization at Warner Bros. (Bates Motel, Mists of Avalon). The film adaptation is under development. Book two in the 3 Gates series, Dark Bride, is set for release in 2015.
Jonathan grew up poor in Indiana and spent two weeks every summer with his grandmother, who allowed him to check out library books on Bigfoot, the Mothman, and various ghost stories. He explored all the dark and spooky places of the Midwest, including the mysterious mounds that dot the landscape there, developing a love for the weird, scary, and strange.
Jonathan's adventurous spirit led him to live in many states and travel the world to help others, sometimes at his own risk. During a service project trip to Northern Ireland, local police mistook him as a member of the IRA while encouraging dialogue in Belfast between Protestants and Catholics before the Truce. He worked alongside the Navajo and Tohono O'odham nations to encourage community development. Jonathan also brought together a group of atheists and Christians to contribute to relief efforts in Biloxi and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Jonathan has spoken to thousands of people on writing and religion. His writing credits include The Huffington Post, Christianity Today, The High Calling, TAPS ParaMagazine, Intrepid Magazine, and popular horror site, DreadCentral.com. In 2013, he started a blog called The Rogue on the world-renowned interfaith site, Patheos.com interviewing people like Vera Farmiga, the controversial Kirk Cameron, and produced international coverage of the Ken Ham/Bill Nye the Science Guy Creation Museum debate.
He co-authored a work of non-fiction with Father Jim Sichko entitled Among Friends: Stories from the Journey (April 2014), and is working with Chief Marvin Yellowbird of the Samson Cree Nation to help pen his autobiography. He also co-wrote Steve Keller's autobiography, Pay to Play: Death of the American Dream, coming in 2015 (Motivational Press).
Jonathan is an acquisitions editor at Ave Maria Press. He has taken vows to become a Benedictine Oblate Novice with St. Meinrad Abbey in Indiana.
The sequel to 3 Gates of the Dead, Dark Bride, will be out in November 1st. In addition to the 3 Gates of the Dead series, he has written a Young Adult Novel, Revolution of the Wolf and a Middle Grade Series, Ghost Bear. Both are under contract and will be released in 2015.

She is happy to be able to share her love of nature through the lens of her camera and has been published by the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), as well as in several publications and web sites in support of education and conservation advocacy.
Photography is a natural extension of Jill's decade-plus work as an educator. As a geography teacher in Toronto, she has built on her role in the classroom, using photography as an engagement tool, to help lead student research excursions to Nicaragua, advised organizations such as the Jane Goodall Institute on school resources and has developed critically acclaimed education programs for WILD10 (the 10th World Wilderness Congress), CoalitionWILD and the Spirit Bear Youth Coalition.
