Bio: Michael Anissimov (b. 1984) is a futurist thinker focused on emerging technologies such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics, and Artificial Intelligence, previously managed Singularity Summit and worked as media director for the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, as well as co-founding Extreme Futurist Festival, futurist blog Accelerating Future and the political philosophy blog More Right. The Singularity Summit has received coverage from Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, the San Francisco Chronicle, award-winning science writer Carl Zimmer, The Verge, and a front page article in TIME magazine. Mr. Anissimov emphasizes the need for research into artificial intelligence goal systems to develop "Friendly Artificial Intelligence" for human civilization to successfully navigate the intelligence explosion. He appears in print, on podcasts, in documentaries, public speaking at conferences, and other media to spread this message. He lives in Berkeley, California.
Long bio: Michael Anissimov is a futurist and political thinker focused on emerging technologies like nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics, and Artificial Intelligence, and previously managed Singularity Summit. He is a science/technology writer and "futurist", which just means someone who makes educated guesses about speculative technological probabilities. In 2002 he co-founded the Immortality Institute, a grassroots life extension advocacy organization, and began fundraising work for the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, an organization devoted to research on safe artificial intelligence. Concurrently, he pursued a freelance career in science and technology writing, contributing over 1,600 short factual articles to WiseGeek.com, a website that promises "clear answers for common questions". WiseGeek receives about 80 million visitors monthly.
In January 2006, Mr. Anissimov started a blog on tech and futurism, Accelerating Future. Since its founding, the blog has received over seven million visits and been featured on G4.TV's Attack of the Show and SciFi.com. Posts have appeared on the front page of Yahoo, Digg, and Reddit. Michael was interviewed by Psychology Today in 2008, quoted in an IEEE Spectrum in 2010, and on CNN in 2012. His articles have appeared in h+ magazine. Since 2003, Michael has given talks on the risks and benefits of emerging technologies at conferences and seminars in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Palo Alto, and at Yale University, including events organized by the Foresight Institute, MIRI, and Humanity+.
Mr. Anissimov primarily focuses on artificial intelligence, molecular nanotechnology, transhumanism, intelligence enhancement, and extinction risk. He believes that humanity could rise or fall in the 21st century depending on how we handle these technologies. His views on the dangers of advanced technology are very similar to those presented by Bill Joy in his WIRED article, "Why the future doesn't need us", except Mr. Anissimov believes that relinquishment is infeasible. Instead, he advocates selective development — the acceleration of beneficial technologies (especially intelligence enhancement and Friendly AI) so that their problem-solving capabilities can be brought to bear on the risks of other advanced technologies.
Mr. Anissimov has been a consultant for a variety of future-oriented non-profit organizations and for-profit companies including the Methuselah Foundation and Kurzweil Technologies. On behalf of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, Michael has briefed the representatives of organizations such as the US Navy and spoken with reporters at outlets such as The New York Times, New Scientist, Scientific American, Financial Times, and many other publications.
Mr. Anissimov lives in Berkeley. He was born in Burlingame, CA, and moved to San Francisco in 2000, then Berkeley in 2011. Mr. Anissimov has climbed several mountains, including Mt. Shasta and Mt. Whitney in California and Mt. Elbrus in Russia, and enjoys long backpacking trips in the most isolated forest and mountain areas of California.

This is like the ultimate story of boy saves girl, except with a lot of guns and Drake's vocals in the background.
On the same day Drizzy's new album Nothing Was the Same was released, the rapper unveiled the music video for his hit single "Hold On, We're Going Home," except it was less of a music video and more of a little movie (think Kanye West's "Runaway," but not quite as long).
The 7-minute Scarface-like clip takes place in Miami in 1985 and features appearances from Majid Jordan, A$AP Rocky, Fredo Santana and Ashley Moore—yes, the same girl who was spotted having lunch with Justin Bieber not too long ago—as the female lead.
WATCH: Drake sets the mood on Chelsea Lately
The video opens with the group enjoying a lavish dinner while toasting to their success, until Drizzy gets a phone call that his lady has been abducted (in her white negligee, just FYI).
Then the crew rolls out, hits up Drake's spot to get their guns and face masks, and goes out to save his love. Oh, and there's a rat in the group, too! Dun, dun, dunnn...
The music video is all very theatrical and exciting to watch, whether or not it fits with the song and whether or not it takes away from the song is up to you.
Watch the clip and tell us what you think in the comments!

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested Mahmoud Bazzi at his home in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan.
Spokeswoman Gillian Christensen said Mr Bazzi was held for "immigration violations", adding that the government "is committed to rooting out alleged human rights violators who seek a safe haven in the US".
Mr Bazzi has denied killing Irish peacekeepers Derek Smallhorne and Thomas Barrett, telling a Detroit newspaper he once falsely confessed because he feared a Lebanese militia would kill him unless he lied.
Irish defence secretary Simon Coveney welcomed Mr Bazzi's arrest and said his government had continually pursued the case.
Mr Coveney said: "I hope this is the start of a process to bring to justice the alleged perpetrator of what was a heinous crime, the torture and murder of two innocent Irish peacekeepers."
Relatives of the two men have waged a long campaign for justice and US authorities have previously investigated Mr Bazzi's alleged role.

Reporting from Boa Frente, Brazil—Deep in the Amazon, in a village accessible only by boat, river dwellers for generations have survived off fish, sparse crops and nuts from the forest.
Now they have a new resource: debit cards.
"If money increases, then life gets better," said Deodato da Silva, 56, with a toothless grin as he peeled cassava under a mango tree.
Families in Boa Frente receive $29 a month to spend in a town upriver. The village also has a new brick walkway, rainwater cisterns and a new school with solar panels and Internet access. In exchange, residents agree to protect the forest surrounding their plots instead of clearing more trees for farming or fuel.
The windfall comes courtesy of Marriott International Inc., the $12-billion hotel chain. It is part of a complex -- and controversial -- plan to save the world's rain forests with the help of big business.
Rules for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation -- or REDD -- are being designed under the auspices of the United Nations as part of a global effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Around the world, dozens of REDD projects, sponsored by environmental groups and funded by firms including Merrill Lynch & Co., Walt Disney Co., American Electric Power Co., BP and United Parcel Service Inc., are underway.
So far, these REDD projects are voluntary, often funded by firms that want to burnish their green credentials. But eventually these "avoided deforestation" efforts could be included in mandatory carbon cap-and-trade systems, such as one already in place in Europe. California is designing such a trading program, and others are proposed under U.S. legislation and as part of an eventual global treaty.
If a government proved that it had saved a forest that would otherwise have been destroyed, it could sell that "saved" carbon in the form of credits to industries forced to reduce emissions. For some firms, buying credits could prove the cheapest way to meet the mandates.
REDD projects have sprouted in Bolivia, Cambodia, Congo, Indonesia, Kenya, Madagascar and Peru.
But nowhere has the idea been embraced more keenly than in Brazil, home to 27% of the world's tropical rain forests and 18 REDD projects, including the one in Boa Frente. Although 98% of the surrounding state of Amazonas remains forested, ranchers, farmers, loggers and miners are rapidly moving in. The state calculates that it could lose a third of its trees by 2050.
"We need a radical change in the development paradigm," said Virgilio Viana, former secretary of the environment for Amazonas.
Viana now runs a public-private effort known as the Amazonas Sustainable Foundation, funded in part by Coca-Cola Co. and Brazil's Bradesco Bank. It hopes to sell carbon credits from 25 million acres of protected forest in 14 reserves.
The first project is in the Juma Reserve, an area nearly twice the size of Yosemite located 125 miles south of the state capital, Manaus. It is home to 380 families in 43 villages, including Boa Frente.
In exchange for their bolsa floresta -- or forest allowance -- villagers also attend two-day workshops on global warming. Their promise not to expand their plots is enforced: The land is mapped and the forest monitored by satellite. If a family reneges, its debit card is canceled.
Forest dwellers are also trained in sustainable livelihoods, including harvesting seeds, berries, rubber and other products needed by researchers and industry.
On a recent afternoon, Helcio Honorato, a gregarious agricultural engineer, stood below an 80-foot Brazil nut tree, shouting at Francidalva Almeida, a 23-year-old mother of two, who swayed high in the branches.
"Concentrate!" he yelled. "No reason to rush! The carabiner will hold you if you fall!"
Almeida, decked out in climbing gear, was collecting seeds that would be used for reforestation. So far, 14 villagers have been trained. In coming months, 70 more will learn to gather seeds from dozens of species, including varieties used in medicines and cosmetics.

Rocky Mountain Highfive
I tried to stay home....really, I did. I clocked nearly one month of domestic duty after the amazing "Dragon Hunt" on my WRR, before wandering again.
But this wasn't my fault.... KLR Monty (from Texas) started bugging me to go ride Colorado. And then the wife starts dropping some encouraging hints like: "you should go....and the farther, the better". Sounded like a Plan!
So I called up my favorite Wingman, The Krabill (of course). He missed out on the famous Dragon Hunt. Surely he won't pass up a Colorado trip....its just a weekend jaunt. I dial the phone & he explains that he's going to some sissy class reunion... MIA again! I can't believe it. Two Strikes in a row on The Krabill. Maybe he's getting too soft to ride with me anymore.
I notify Monty I'm coming and to meet me in San Isabel post haste! The word is spread, and Garand steps up to the plate...quick to steal the base from Krabill.
And just like that....in mere days, we're on the trail in San Isabel, CO. Here's the cast of characters for this next round in Highfive's Excellent Adventures.
Monty had the most time of the bunch, and rode his green Mobile Mansion up from Tejas. I threw my WRR in the truck and raced all night just to beat him there. Garand beat us all! Now, for everyone who wants to know whether or not a little 'ol WR250R will tote a big guy with loaded with gear through the Rocky Mountains, then get your ears on ( ). This RR is going to shed some light.....once & for all.

We depart from Lake Isabel up the mountain on a nice looking two track called the Cisneros Trail. Well, at least it looked nice....on the U.S. Forest Service MVUM maps that I downloaded. So much for planning! I mean it was ok for me, but a little rough on my Trail-mates....especially the Exxon Valdez towing half of Cabelas on board.
Don't get me wrong, Monty is a real PRO at this Dualsport stuff. He is like a miracle man. Pulls anything you'd ever need out of those bags on his KLR. (edit: well almost anything....please remember this point for later) I mean, he's got a freakin GRILL hiding in there. And a cooler! The dude cooks steaks with cold beer out in the bush! And he can ride it nearly anywhere. He's got one of those KLR's that's "never been washed....never gonna be." With something like 50,000 miles on it! Here he comes up the Cisneros Trail:
Take a good look at this happy smile.....
Its about to change! And its my fault. Well, I guess he's partly to blame. After all, he's the one who begged me to go. Let that be a lesson to all: sometimes you really do get what you wish for! Just saying...
The nice cushy Two=Track kind of got a little rougher (ok....a lot). It quickly grew skinnier and rougher as we climbed the mountain to get over the pass.
At more than one point, we had to stop and take a hike to survey the hazards and plan our line.
Evening was fast approaching, and neither Monty or I had much sleep during the last 24 hours. But fortunately, no one went down. Garand & I did fine picking our way through the rocks on our WRR's while Monty just plowed through like a battering ram.
Happy to be on top!
We made it out of the Dark Dungeon of a forest.....only to discover we still had plenty of daylight remaining. I'm mean seriously, it got so thick and dark down in those woods, we actually NEEDED our headlights!

"Finally".....Monty says...."we're back in business!"
So, I keep us on the straight and narrow from here on....really I do. Ok, sort of.
I promise them both to "hang in there with me....just over the next hill, you'll see!" (edit: its always just one more hill...eh?) Well, they did. And it was soooooo WORTH IT.
Now that I was "off the hook", it was time to find a secret secluded campsite for our first night. Aaahhh....the spoils of victory....as we watch our first mountain sunset.
See that dip in the far mountain range in front of us (just right of Garand)? That's Medano Pass. We're heading for that hill tomorrow.....any 'ol way we can find to get there. "Just keep your eye on the target", I tell them. We're gonna climb over that 11,000+ ft. pass and find the Great Sand Dunes on the other side! But for now, let's make camp.
I just love it when I hook up with hardcore Riders that really know how to camp!
Three more days to go. This time, I CAN actually wait....if you know what I mean.

After I come back down to earth (literally and figuratively), we head back to camp and pack up to leave. Well....at least two of us. Monty just couldn't do it. And nearly had me talked into staying an another day. You can see from the look on their faces, no one was anxious to leave the Rock Corral.
We head out and Monty follows us down the mountain into the Cotapaxi General Store. I notice he's digging thru the T-bone steaks in the refrigerated section. Now he's REALLY putting the hurt on me.....cause I know he's gonna pull out his grill and charcoal! That's right....that's what I said. The dude even has charcoal stored onboard the Mobile Mansion!
Even so, we bid farewell. Garand & I have a long slab ride before us, to get back to San Isabel. Only, we've been cornered in by some outlaws outside. Now you may be familiar with Hogs, but have you ever seen a Gorilla?
Two of these jungle mates had nearly blocked us off.....as if they thought that would stop us. Suffice to say, we received some nasty looks when the congestion came to a head. I did the right thing, of course. I twisted the throttle and left my Heavyweight Champion Powerlifter to settle the score. I guess he made quick work of them, cause he caught up with me in short order.
We had a beautiful ride from Texas Creek to Silver Cliff, then onward toward San Isabel. But I just had to detour down an empty canyon road to find a nice lunch spot along a creek. It was Mountain House time! And I was hungry after all the morning excitement.
Dreading the end....and stalling as much as possible, we reluctantly get back on the road. Within a few miles, I get the feeling we're not through yet. And dart off down some dirt road for yet another detour. But this one, won't be so short lived. We begin climbing a big mountain on a well groomed road, at a fast pace....8,000'....9,000'....10,000'. Garand says, "Man, this detour is looking good!"
And that's when it happens......I get a "feeling". A big one! We press on a bit further and then, I hit the brakes with a gasp. Dismount and run up the hill to take this photo:
Its really special, because I recognize that big mountain range in the distance. Do you? See that low dip in the middle? That's "Medano Pass" which we rode over on Day 2. The Great Sand Dunes are on the other side. We get to stand here and retrace 50% of our travels across 4 days with our finger. It was a very cool moment.....something you just had to be there to appreciate.
So, we keep going....up up up. The trail has become a fabulous rocky, knarly two track.....10,500....11,000....we keep climbing and finally crest the top. But this mountain is very different than all the others I've been on this high. Everything is very lush and green. We pass over the top and discover the absolute prettiest spot I've ever laid my eyes on in all the Rocky Mountains.
As good as these photos are, they don't do this scene justice....no way...no how. We stay a while, inhaling as much of this scene as possible. I can tell Garand is Saving File As...within the available Free Space in his memory. For me, its more like Disk Space Full....Delete Files?....Yes...All Files, Save New. That's because I haven't received a new memory board in...well, forever. And this scene nearly blows the circuits on what little remains!
This will be "Camp Highfive" on my next visit to San Isabel. Who's willing to join me right here, one year from now? It'll be cold at night. This is pretty high!
We finally move on....knowing we've found a true Gem. On the way down the other side, we find two track and single track trails going everywhere. And its just PERFECT riding for most any dualsport bike. Best of all, there's NO sand for Monty! At least not any that I saw. It might take a few days to explore this particular mountain range thoroughly. Aaah...Shucks!
About half way down the hill, we are riding a two track that kind of turns into a road. Suddenly, there is this Cadillac coming up trail in the opposite direction honky & waving at us. A man & woman are looking for some certain lodge or something....and wondering if maybe they took a wrong turn. It was really more like... But we didn't have the heart to let it out, because this guy looked like he was about to have a mental breakdown. Garand moves on (cause he can't contain his laughter any longer), while I stay to try and help them sort it out. Finally suggesting they find a place to turn around (up ahead a good bit) and go back from where they came.
I move on down the hill toward the highway, and pass Garand whose in a complete panic! Like he's seen a ghost or nearly lost his life. I'll leave it to him share that story....or not.
We pass the famously weird "Bishop's Castle" and its busy as ever, so no stopping for a looksee. Then slide into home plate, at San Isabel. I sneak a few extra miles onto R² and roll up to my truck like this:
I just thought it was a neat way to end the Ride....since I was so close to it.
Now its time to go home....though it never feels quite right to leave. There was a pretty sunset left behind which was calling my name to come back:
Shortly after this photo (my last one of the trip), I had a revelation. You see, a Revelation is something you always knew, just never realized. And, it hit me like a bolt of lightening: The "Journey" Is My Home!

Great RR! The revelation is a perfect ending. I had a similar experience traveling with my dad when I was younger and only just recently remembered it. God willing, I'll be out there in 2 weeks, leaving Thursday directly from my last summer class with a solid 5500 miles planned.

HF, excellent job on writing this up, truly enjoyable riding/reading for all DS, but especially for R2 owners Kudo's to all three of you for taking us along.
I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking about hauling a bike up there after reading this.
May I ask if someone recorded all this on GPS? Can't quite remember, too many threads to keep up with!

"There's this wave of writers and directors now that are going back and forth from television to film," says Myman. He should know: He repped former Lost showrunner Damon Lindelof in pacts to co-write Fox's Prometheus and Disney's supersecret 1952 and join Warner Bros. Television in a three-year overall deal. The former water polo player, who left litigation during the early '80s to rep buddy John Ritter, this year helped Lost director Jack Bender set up genre project Devolution at Legendary; inked new deals for NCIS co-creator Don McGill to run CSI and for Simon Helberg to continue on The Big Bang Theory; and packaged Billy Bob Thornton's Jayne Mansfield's Car.

I think the two troopers should be given a second chance. after all it was only a prank and no one got hurt. They should know better than to do this, but it was all in fun, but then again they should respect the State Highway Patrol. It is a job they should be proud of. They have sharp uniforms and to protect the public. They never thought this prank would jeopardize their jobs. It is a black mark against them, I hope you give these two guys a second chance and besides no one is perfect. We all make mistakes at one time on another.

DANIEL SANDERSON INTERPOL has been called in to assist in tracking down the families of two men who were found dead in Perthshire this week. Police recovered two bodies from Kinnoull Hill, on the outskirts of Perth, yesterday. They located the body of a 55-year-old man, whose family had raised concerns about his wellbeing, and while conducting the search also came across the body of a second male. The 55-year-old is believed to be local, although his family are based abroad. The issue has led to a delay in formally identifying the body. The other male, whose age has not been released, is not a UK national and is believed to have been a migrant worker. While police believe they have made a positive identification, they are making efforts to inform his next of kin abroad and have the body formally identified. A police source said: "Unfortunately, these things can be very slow." There is no connection between the deaths and their bodies were discovered some distance apart. There were no suspicious circumstances in either case. Kinnoull Hill, a popular beauty spot, has attracted a tragic reputation as a suicide hot-spot.

Menopause Symptom: Weight gain and shift
Menopause Symptom: Weight gain and shift
As if the other symptoms of menopause weren't enough, many women also experience weight gain during menopause or a general change in body shape. Most of us put on a few pounds as we age, and more of what we eat turns to fat rather than muscle. This is because of the fluctuation in your hormones. Around the time of menopause, women develop "insulin resistance", making their bodies store fat rather than burn calories. This shift in weight can make you appear heavier, though you may weigh the same as you always did.
What you can do: Try not to step on a scale every day, or sweat every little calorie. If you're overweight, talk to your healthcare provider about setting up a well-balanced diet for this time of life. And exercise, exercise, exercise! Women who are physically active tend to have fewer and less severe hot flashes.

Also attractive to first-time users is the drug's relatively low price. Often, young people will make the jump to heroin after first becoming addicted to prescription opiates, such as Oxycontin. These pills can be pricey -- as high as $50 for one dose -- and the relatively low price tag on heroin -- as little as $10 per dose -- can push young users to try the drug they never would have used otherwise.
"This is a spiral into the abyss for a lot of these young people, who one day very innocently start looking through mom and dad's cabinet and take an Oxycontin pill," said Levy. "It's bad news where it could end up.
In Minneapolis, where Ashley goes on her daily trips, the purity of heroin is the highest of any city in the U.S., and the average price of the drug is among the lowest, according to the DEA. For young users in the area, this is a deadly combination.
Heroin is famous for its euphoric high, a feeling that lasts 15 seconds, but comes to consume the life of an addict.
"You're just floating on a cloud," said Dylan, a friend of Ashley who's also a heroin user. "There's no care in the world. It's like a rush, just a rush of numbness."
This feeling comes at a price. It's quickly followed by heroin withdrawal -- an intense sickness that Ashley described as "10 times worse than the flu." Ashley said she no longer enjoys the high, but needs to come up with more than $100 per day to "stay well" and avoid the drug's all-consuming withdrawal.
Coming up with this money is a full-time job, and can force users to sink to unimaginable depths in order to feed their addiction. Ashley's friend, a former straight-A student who asked that her name not be used, has had to resort to prostitution in order to "stay well."
"I had no other way," the friend said, "I figured, whatever, five minutes of my time for that much money, it's not that important anymore. I don't care that much."
Because she charges as little as $20 for sex, she needs to sell herself to several men every day to keep herself from withdrawing.
"Lately it's been about like four, five, but I've had days when I've gotten like fifteen guys in a day," the friend said. "I don't feel like there's any lower I could go right now -- besides death."
The fate of Ashley's friend illustrates the Catch-22 of being a parent to a heroin addict.
"I've had a lot of friends say, 'Just kick her out.' Even the police have said that," said Ashley's mother, Cheri.
This can be an impossible decision to make, however, knowing how low a heroin addict will go to get a fix on the streets. Instead, Ashley's parents admit they give her cash and don't ask many questions. Ashley panhandles and steals extra money from her parents to make ends meet.
"It's a really sick feeling to know that's my parents' money," Ashley said, "It really sucks to know that that's how I repay them back."
Shortly after "20/20" met Ashley, she was offered an opportunity to attend the Young Adult Female Program, which is run by Caron Treatment Centers in Wernersville, Pa.
This is not an everyday opportunity. There are more than 23 million addicts in America that need treatment, but last year fewer than 1-in-10 were able to get help at a specialty substance abuse facility, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

-same '09 Camaro as previous ROTF versions
-pretty much the same deco as Cannon Bumblebee, but tail lights are painted with a darker red, tail pipes aren't painted (silver on Cannon Bumblebee), no visible Autobot symbol anywhere to be seen, front bottom lights (4) aren't painted either (silver on Cannon Bumblebee) and black stripes have sharp outerlining corners (they were rounded on previous versions)... also, the stripes don't go over the yellow part under the rear window unlike previous versions and the yellow is less orangy than previous versions
-all windows are clear blue
-legs retain the automorph feature but rear window is now part of the roof assembly
-feet now have fold out heels like HA or Battle Ops Bumblebee
-waist piece folds down from under the front of the car like on HA or Battle Ops Bumblebee
-front wheels swings out and sit in front of the door wings like on HA or Battle Ops Bumblebee
-outer halves of the front of the car are hinged and can extend forward and be angled
-the separate black grill halves can be also angled
-backpack compresses in a fashion similar to HA or Battle Ops Bumblebee but the tip of the hood piece kinda pegs in the rear spine
-hip guards are now hinged and can be positionned as you wish (on the sides, facing front or in between)
-battle mask slides down like on HA Bumblebee
-to transform the right arm into cannon mode, you fold up the hand against the forearm, you split open the yellow arm cover, you swing the rear piece forward and align it with the forearm and you close the arm cover panels
-to deploy the battle blade on the left arm, you press on the bronze-ish piece of the arm cover, the blade will swing down and up forward then you just need to unfold the upper half of the blade... I can you can fold the hand against the forearm or not, not sure how it's done in the game (that's what that weapon is based on, right?)
-best transformation yet for a deluxe Bumblebee
-great articulation, even has waist swivel
-great headsculpt
-probably the sleekest version of the battle mask yet
-2 real arms and 2 real fully integrated and unobtrusive weapons
-automorph feature in the legs (always liked that one)
-chest halves can be angled to your liking
-somewhat poseable hands (fingers + thumbs)
-some cool silver paint apps on the arms and crotch and yellow on the waist
-can't see the eyes behind the battle mask
-tip of cannon should have been grey to better flow with the forearm
-black hands and heel pieces?
-hood halves sit a bit far from the rest of the chest
-waist panel tends to unpeg when you try to rotate the torso
-no wrist rotation
-no matching bronze-ish paint app on the right arm cover
Is it the best Bumblebee out there? As far as Deluxe Bumblebees are concerned, yes. Some minor deco glitches, but playability factor is very high compared to the other versions with the 2 integrated weapons, the dual mode head and the 2 real arms/hands. Highly recommended!

-tricky transformation, as complex if not more than on the voyager version
-some creative solutions on how to close the back (2 panels), hide the wheels (2 under the feet, 2 angled under the chest), hide the smokestacks, etc.
-a bit stubby for a deluxe (Bumblebee is much taller in comparison)
-elbows sit very high up on the arms
-knees also sit fairly high up on the legs
-some nice silver, bronze and blue-ish grey paint apps showing up in robot mode
-leg kibble (hip panels, upper lower leg panels, truck rear halves behind the lower legs... all can be positionned to your liking though
-nice little drone that turns into a cannon and that can also be stored inside the truck in alt mode thanks to that neat right cannon that split open to make room for it!
-clear blue windows (would have been easy to be lazy and just paint them over black plastic)
-movie accurate head (similar to the one found on the newer versions of Voyager Ironhide)
-good articulation overall, even has ankle swivels (no waist though)
-very nice toy overall, once you get a feel for the transformation, you'll love it (if you don't mind scale issues!)

Many battles between TRANSFORMERS happen at high speed, but few are as spectacular as those between robots trained to use the traffic around them as a weapon. BACKFIRE is a master of zipping between moving vehicles as if they were standing still while keeping his sensors trained on his target. OIL PAN may be famous for his ability to disappear in plain sight, but there's no way he's getting away this time.

Product description
Part memoir, nutritional primer, and political manifesto, this controversial examination exposes the destructive history of agriculturea"causing the devastation of prairies and forests, driving countless species extinct, altering the climate, and destroying the topsoila"and asserts that, in order to save the planet, food must come from within living communities. In order for this to happen, the argument champions eating locally and sustainably and encourages those with the resources to grow their own food. Further examining the question of what to eat from the perspective of both human and environmental health, the account goes beyond health choices and discusses potential moral issues from eatinga"or not eatinga"animals. Through the deeply personal narrative of someone who practiced veganism for 20 years, this unique exploration also discusses alternatives to industrial farming, reveals the risks of a vegan diet, and explains why animals belong on ecologically sound farms.

No fading, no strap stretching, and it's 3yrs old!!! Only negative -- butt elastic in the back is getting saggy, and I really don't have anything back there to stretch things out like that!!! Even given that issue, I'll be replacing it with another soon if there's another color option available as I love the thick straps and color fastness!

I've bought plenty of swim suits online and a 34 always fits. Not this one. It's too short/too tight. Otherwise its a very nice suit. Just doesn't fit like it should!
Lap swimming everyday. I love the design, it is a very strong feeling suit. Its very comfortable.
Love the chloroban products. Last long in pool lap swimming. Holds it's shape, doesnt stretch for years!!!!!
good team swim suit, I got it a little big to last for the summer and next, and even though it still fit her comfortable enough for this year
My daughter uses it for swim practice, and she couldn't be happier. Great buy!

In what could be seen as a politically sensitive move, the last budget of the UPA-II government has made it essential for the next government to raise taxes sharply to finance capital expenditure to boost growth.
Presenting the budget in the Lok Sabha Monday, Finance Minister P Chidambaram projected a massive 18 per cent rise in tax revenues for 2014-15, which is far above the projected growth-plus-inflation projections for the economy.
The difference between the two estimates works out to Rs 81,225 crore for the year or about 5 per cent of the estimates for government receipts in FY15.
At the same time, he has kept expenditure projections limited to just 11 per cent by under-providing for subsidies and carrying out a massive re-organisation of investment or plan expenditure, a task which should have been left for after the general elections.
It is this headroom which he has used to claim a reduction in the overhang of the fiscal deficit for FY15.
In the process, Chidambaram has also kept no fiscal room for the 14th Finance Commission award, due in October. He has budgeted for a 4.1 per cent target for fiscal deficit in FY15 despite easing up on fiscal consolidation by giving tax sops to the automobile, mobile handsets and other consumer durables sectors which will run through until June 30.
Automobile companies including Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and the Mahindras, however, took the cue and announced they would cut prices.
Asked later if the sops were aimed to woo voters, Chidambaram said: "My intention was not to please anyone. I wanted to talk to the people directly that we are going through a turbulent phase in the economy."
The changes carried out by the minister in the plan budget means a number of social sector ministries at the centre including HRD, health and rural development could become marginal as most of their budgets have been transferred to the states.
As part of the reworking of the plan or investment expenditure, the finance minister has cut that spending by Rs 70,000 crore in FY14, which has allowed him to project a rise of 19 per cent in plan spend during FY15. However, if the projection is compared to the sum mentioned in the budget estimates of FY14, the number actually declines by Rs 987 crore.
A HSBC note said the finance minister had made his numbers work by "pushing back expenditures and moving forward tax and dividend collections. It, therefore, implies that the targeted fiscal consolidation will be more difficult to come by next fiscal year".
Giving more powers to the states could help the UPA government gain support from those which have …continued »

"The 7 Habits have the gift of being simple without being simplistic." (M.Scott Peck)
"Not as good as complete version"
Part 1 - 7 habits was ok with concise summary but part 2 was not up to what you can expect from Dr Covey.
I would suggest listening to complete versions instead of this part meal approach
"perfect audio book"
The audio quality is perfect. Easy to listen in a noisy car. The audio consists of 2 parts: the 7 habits and the 8 habit. The 7 habits is the best part. Key information. This abridged version is a very good summary of the book The 7 habits. Spoken by Stephen Covey himself: pleasant voice.
"Just a taste of the books"
Im new to the audio book thing and didnt relize that this book was only a taste of the book and it says if u like it please purchase the full lenght book. So I really wouldnt waste your $
"Get the FULL version of 7 Habits"
If it would have included more of the original version of the book
7 Habits of Highly Effective People changed my life! I wanted to refresh and listen to again on my road trip & decided on the unabridged version because of a comment that I read recommending it, They wrote that they preferred this version because it wasn't as long but still good if not better. I cannot agree with that at all. The unabridged version cut out many details and one in particular that I was wanting to listen to again & that is the part about emotional bank accounts. If wondering which to choose pick the original you won't regret it,
"The inescapable truth"
I like this audiobooks because of the principles stand true.
"excellent book"
The book is a must have it will serve you well in improved productivity and efficiency in every area of your own life.
"Great book"
Great book for anyone that wants motivation. :)
It help me to have better customer service and be a better person
"so insightful, well worth it."
I well be listening to this many times over. the message is timeless and teaches one how to succeed in every aspect of life.
"Great for abridged version"
It's hard to condense the full book into 3 hours, but that's expected. Considering what has to be packed into this shorter version it's well worth it, particularly for a quick refresher!
"Worth it"
The abridged version is quick and just hits the key points. Well worth your time. I will probably listen to the unabridged versions soon.
"Great Listen"
I wish there were more abridged versions of great books to help cut down on listening times. This is a high points option of classic read.

Life without Lidstrom
Jul 20, 2012, 11:15 AM EDT
The Detroit Red Wings are doing something next season they haven't done since 1991-92: Play without Nicklas Lidstrom on the blue line.
When Lidstrom called it a career following the season, it ushered in a new and frightening era for the Red Wings. For 20 seasons Lidstrom was the rock on defense. He played the biggest minutes and was simply the greatest defenseman of this era and now the Wings have to find a way to replace his minutes and production. Uh oh.
Without Lidstrom, Detroit's blue line is a bit suspect. Niklas Kronwall becomes the default No. 1 guy and (likely) will pair up with Ian White on the first pairing. Jonathan Ericsson and recently signed Kyle Quincey shape up to be the next best pairing and one that comes with a lot of questions. Ericsson was, to put it nicely, inconsistent last year while Quincey has a penchant for poorly timed penalties.
Rounding out the potential top-six are a pair of young hopefuls in Jakub Kindl and Brendan Smith. Smith comes in with high hopes of being the next big thing on the blue line with an offensively strong game and a University of Wisconsin pedigree. Kindl will get his first big chance to prove himself after getting peeks the last few seasons.
No one can recreate what Lidstrom brought to Detroit and the prospect of moving on without him must be terrifying for Wings fans, but for coach Mike Babcock and GM Ken Holland, figuring things out from this point on will prove to be their biggest challenge.
- wingsfan40 - Jul 20, 2012 at 1:19 PM
thts why wings gotta sign big d!! like they should have went better after weber AND suter so they could be on the same team again now they stuck with trying for coliacivo and scott hannan OMG
- redwingsfan999 - Jul 20, 2012 at 4:53 PM
The wings r gonna miss lidstrom but can still play without him. And although I am disappointed the wings didn't get parise or suter I'm not worried bout the wings. In case no one remembers in February the wings were 1st in the west with most of the players that we still have now. And we went on a 23 home game win streak. Ya we may have lost lidstrom and Stuart but guys like Kronwall, Quincy, and smith can be very underrated @ times and I guarantee that they will all step up this season. And I love how people think just cuz Philly offered weber a contract that he's either going 2 Philly or staying with Nashville. Weber doesnt want 2 stay with Nashville but they don't wanna lose weber and suter 4 almost nothing, so they r going 2 match phillys offer and maybe trade him and u can bet the wings r gonna be all over that, I would give up franzen, nyquist, ericsson, and either smith or kindl 4 him. And if the wings do get Weber and then sign Doan they will be a great Stanley cup contending team. And even if we don't get weber I have faith in the "wings kids" and I have faith in ken holland that he will sign a defensmen such as cam barker, pavel kubina, and mikael rosival, and if not that he will trade 4 one. No matter what the wings do they will still be a good team now and 4 years 2 come

He was an amazing player and a great man. – Pens Fan.
- polegojim - Jul 21, 2012 at 12:08 AM
Um…. it's actualy NOT life without Lidstrom.
- wingnut83 - Jul 22, 2012 at 10:42 AM
While he will certainly be missed and difficult to replace, Lidstrom left a blueprint of the ultimate defenseman. Such a player isnt just plucked from another team and picks up where he left off. Weber has a different set of skills that make up his game, however last seasons cheap shot on Z calls his emotional control into question. That definitely isnt Lidstrom-like. I think the WINGS will have what they need to begin the season and get over the shock and nerves of not have TPH on the ice. Then Ken Holland and staff will make the necessary adjustments. The WINGS never say die, nor should their fans! LET"S GO RED WINGS!!!

English Electives in Iowa High Schools: A Survey
Swihart, Harold A.
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectEducation, Secondary--Iowa--Curricula--Surveys; English language--Study and teaching--Iowa--Surveys
The problem. The purpose of the report was to determine the extent and nature of english electives programs being offered or planned in selected Iowa high schools. Procedure. Fifty schools were selected through the use of the Iowa School District Directory, and were of three general enrollment sizes. Responses were received from forty-two of those originally selected. The returned surveys included brief descriptions of the elective courses, intended student clientele, and enrollment patterns or trends. The surveys were then tabulated and combined to form an overall list of coursss (i.e., similar courses under varying titles were combined). Related literature dealing with high school English electives was consulted for similar reports and criticisms. Findings. The survey responses shared an extensive use of electives programs in all sizes of schools, in all areas of the state. Only three of the forty-two responding schools did not have electives proqrams. The combined list of courses fell into seven study areas: literature, composition, usage, journalism, speech and dramatics, communications, and humanities. Courses for advanced or mixed groupings tended to predominate over basic or remedial courses. The report was concluded with a list of ten recommendations for electives program development.

MIAMI (AP) -- LeBron James of the Miami Heat is Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year. James became an NBA champion for the first time in 2012, a year in which he also won his second Olympic gold medal and his third NBA MVP trophy. He's the first NBA player to win the award since Heat teammate Dwyane Wade in 2006. Time Inc. Sports Group editor Paul Fichtenbaum said Monday that James was chosen not only for his play but also for his charitable work, especially with schoolchildren in his native Akron, Ohio. Past winners include Muhammad Ali, Jack Nicklaus, Wayne Gretzky, Arthur Ashe, Tom Brady, Derek Jeter and Michael Phelps. College basketball coaches Mike Krzyzewski and Pat Summitt shared the honor last year.
