Six Vehicles Justin Bieber Should Be Driving Instead of a Lamborghini
Dave Watt
4. A Car That Resembles His Own Gigantic Head
OK, so maybe it's not realistic to envision Bieber tooling around on some sort of pedal-powered alternative vehicle on his way to each and every one of the Satanic Illuminati rituals that keep him in power. But at the very least, why wouldn't he be raging through town in some sort of sick dragster that looks exactly like him? He could have modified a gigantic SUV and modeled his face with a sick pair of shades for the windshield. This would also serve his mission to force everyone, everywhere, to look at his cherubic visage at all times. Would YOU try to win a drag race against a gigantic gas-powered Bieber head? No, you wouldn't. You'd be too in awe of its deified glory.

3. A Submarine Made of Weed
Before his arrest, the Great Bieberino was already experiencing plenty of unwanted media attention for his rebellious ways. Millions of hearts recently sank after a police raid revealed that Justin was palling around with possible cocaine users. Stories of his marijuana use have been swirling for years now, and he even has some SuPeR kEwL, total-badass tattoos to help prove what a Big Tuff Guy he's become. As his image as a squeaky clean pre-teen heartthrob continues to fade, he should probably be getting faded in a submarine made out of that bomb-ass, stanknasty, sticky-icky green, smoking dosia like a No Limit Soulja. Like the True Player he is.

Tri-County under winter storm warning
A winter storm warning in effect from 6 p.m. Thursday until 4 a.m. Friday.
The National Weather Service in Raleigh issued the warning shortly before 4 a.m. Thursday.
Accumulations of two to four inches of snow are expected, the NWS says, across an area that includes a large part of the Piedmont and the northern coastal plain including the Triad, the Triangle and Rocky Mount. The area includes Vance, Granville and Warren counties.
Rain is expected to quickly change over to heavy wet snow this evening. This transition will occur west-to-east across the warning area, the NWS says.
The changeover is expected in the Triad region early this evening, reaching the Triangle area by mid to late evening. The snow will diminish west to east after 1 a.m., ending in the east by 4 a.m.
The NWS predicts snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour will quickly lead to an accumulation on grassy surfaces. Due to the warm pavement and the rain expected prior to changeover, most roads will initially remain wet but may become very slushy, especially where the heavier snowfall rates occur.
Temperatures near or slightly below freezing by early Friday morning will lead to roads quickly becoming slick and hazardous especially west of the Triangle. Travel will remain dangerous through most of Friday morning, the NWS says.
Northeast winds will gusts between 25 and 30 mph tonight. Temperatures will be in the 40s to the lower 50s today will quickly fall into the 30s this evening and to near or slightly below freezing by Friday morning.

What causes impotence?
Most of the time, impotence has a physical cause. Achieving an erection is a complicated process requiring your body to transmit sensations from the genital area to the nervous system and return nervous impulses to the muscles and blood vessels of the penis. Anything that interferes with this interchange, such as disease or injury of the blood vessels, muscles, or nerves, can lead to impotence. Psychological factors such as anxiety and depression can also interfere with your erectile function.
Causes of impotence
A number of factors may cause impotence including:
- Abnormally low testosterone levels
- Atherosclerosis (buildup of plaque on the walls of arteries; atherosclerosis is a common cause of cardiovascular disease)
- Depression or anxiety
- Diabetes
- Kidney disease
- Medication side effects
- Multiple sclerosis (disease that affects the brain and spinal cord causing weakness, coordination, balance difficulties, and other problems)
- Obesity
- Penile or testicular trauma or surgery of the bladder or prostate
- Peripheral neuropathy (disorder that causes dysfunction of nerves that lie outside your brain and spinal cord)
- Spinal cord injury or tumor
- Trauma or structural injury (prolonged bicycling or bicycling accident)
What are the risk factors for impotence?
Many factors may increase your risk of developing impotence. Not all people with risk factors will develop impotence. Risk factors for impotence include:
- Advancing age
- Alcohol abuse
- Cardiovascular disease
- Cigarette smoking
- Diabetes
- Neurologic disorders
- Overweight or obesity
- Psychological conditions
- Substance abuse
Reducing your risk of impotence
You can play an active role in lowering your risk of impotence by:
- Controlling your blood pressure if you have high blood pressure
- Controlling your blood sugar if you have diabetes
- Discontinue illicit drug use
- Decreasing or eliminating alcohol use
- Eating a healthy diet
- Increasing physical activity
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Participating in counseling to address emotional or psychological issues
- Quitting smoking
What is impotence?
Impotence, or erectile dysfunction, is the inability of a male to attain and keep an erection sufficiently firm to engage in or complete sexual intercourse. Although it is more common in older men, impotence can occur at any age. Impotence is not a normal consequence of aging. About 70% of erectile dysfunction is due to diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis, another 10% to 20% is due to... Read more about impotenceintroduction
What are the symptoms of impotence?
Impotence, or erectile dysfunction, is the inability of a male to attain and keep an erection sufficiently firm to engage in or complete sexual intercourse. Impotence manifests differently in different individuals. You may find you are unable to achieve an erection at all, or you may be able to achieve an erection, but only briefly.
Common symptoms of impotenceCommon s... Read more about impotencesymptoms
How is impotence treated?
Treatment of impotence begins with a lifelong program of regular medical care, which allows your health care professional to provide early screening tests. Regular medical care also provides an opportunity for your health care professional to promptly evaluate symptoms and your risks for developing impotence. Treatment of impotence is based on its cause.

Victoria's Wyndham council has gone to the extraordinary length of intercepting residents' mobile phone and email data 31 times in the past three years to catch "litterbugs and owners of unregistered pets".
The Wyndam Weekly revealed the council was the only in the state to monitor resident's phone and email data, according to figures from the Attorney General's Department.
The metadata interceptions were made from 2010 to 2012.
A further 18 interception authorisations were made over the last year for the same reasons, the council's acting chief executive Kelly Grigsby told the Weekly.
She said metadata was accessed in a small number of cases where needed.
"Retrieving a telephone subscriber's name and address for an investigation into an offence is an important tool," she said.
The news comes amid ongoing revelations from former National Security Agency (NSA) staffer Ed Snowden about the extensive surveillance activities of the US and other nation states, including Australia.
Outspoken privacy advocate, Greens Senator Scott Ludlam has been contacted for comment.

I enjoyed a great dinner at Luzzo's. It is truly a fantastic restaurant. My meal was awesome and the service was great. Loved the service and the sound of Italian throughout the restaurant. It was an awesome dining experience.
Posted by anon on 06/08/2005
Having spent many years in Italy and thus, holding any italian restaurant to high standards, I can truly say I had a wonderful meal here. The pizza could have easily been from any pizzeria in Napoli and our appetizer (portobello mushrooms with mozzarella) was delicious too. With a glass of wine from montepulciano and hearing other diners casually converse in italian, I don't think I could find a more reasonable and delicious authentic italian meal in the city. Grazie!
Posted by Giacomo on 05/20/2005
This place feels more like a local trattoria in Italy than most places you can find in NY. It's low-key and the emphasis is on the food. The new owner Michael is from Italy and bought the place for its coal-burning oven that produces some of the best pizza around. The rest of the menu covers a lot of territory and I've not had anything sub-par yet. The food is far better and the service a lot less overbearing than most of the plethora of over-hyped Italian restaurants around the city. No attitude - but great food at reasonable prices.

Great, great pizza. Really one of the tops I have had recently. But it is great pizza without the attitude of all the supposedly "famous" places. The decor could be better, so order in!
Posted by Mick on 07/22/2004
Luzzo's serves up a pie that is equal to if not better than John's or Lombardi's. The place is newer so the appointments are in great shape. The staff is very good and the service is well balanced; neither absent or pushy. There is a full menu and from what I could see the food being presented at other tables looked great. I will make this place a regular staple.

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel going to the brain is disrupted either by a blood clot or a ruptured vessel. This process is similar to that which occurs in a heart attack. Deprived of oxygen, the nerve cells in the affected area of the brain cannot function and often die. The parts of the body controlled by those cells are then unable to function.

Simply Vietnam in Santa Rosa
Simply Vietnam seems to be the best Pho in the Northbay at this time. I enjoyed a very good bowl of Pho today with some relatives. We all had Pho, two extra larges and one large. The extra large was just a dollar more, they are huge. I brought half home. My brother is a huge eater and did not finish his, his son, a big guy himself, barely finished his large.
Ok, so the bowls are big, but the broth meet my brother's number one priority, he loved it. I thought the broth was outstanding also. The noodles were not a mushy mess and all stuck together. Tons of meat, and the best tendon I have had anywhere. Fresh veggies, with a fair amount of basil for this time of the year, no brown sprouts, nice juicy lime, and the jalapenos were hot. All the usual condiments present.
Service was quick to seat us, take our order, and serve us as well. The place was re-opened about 3.5 months ago. It's nicely redecorated, very clean. Prices are inexpensive. The place is busy, many Asians in attendance, for good reason I believe.
I really like this place and hope to explore more on their menu.
They are on Dutton just south of College.
Btw, $5.75 for a large, $6.75 for a extra large.

I will have to agree that this place has great service, is wonderfully CLEAN, and serves up tasty food. The BBQ pork with rice was excellent, and the fresh spring rolls were comparable to some of my old favorite places in LA. I wish they had three bean drink though...
However, although the atmosphere is not nearly as nice, the Pho place on Stony Point still has much better broth in my opinion.
Of the three places we typically get Pho when we go out, Simply Vietnam (and previously Cam Ran Bay) is the only once where I will order a variant that doesn't have a fatty meat thrown in to boost the broth's flavour. If you like a particular spice in your broth maybe another is better, but then that's what the accompaniments are for isn't it? For good, base beef flavour to build on they have a winner, and as a sied benefit I don't have to order soup with something I'm going to pick out just to bolster the overall taste.
As to the rest of their food, honestly since the change I really only order the Pho. Previously I'd get the grilled pork/prawns rice place or one of the other dishes, but they just don't do them the same now... or rather they do them much the same as everyplace else. Before, I liked the fact that they got a nice crispy grill on the pork, with some good bite to it. Now they do the same thicker, slightly chewy and less "grilled" pork as everybody else. It's good, make no mistake, just not the same. And why not eat to a place's strengths? For me it's Simply Vietnam for the Pho, Lee's for the rice plate dishes. Pho Vietnam is good for both, but not good enough to get me near Food 4 Less at all regularly on the chance that their 10-people-and-it's-packed dining room will have someplace to sit without being part of the flow of foot traffic.

It was the kids first flight. With any luck it will be their last.
By the numbers
99Sea turtles treated and released since 200036Turtles treated so far this year26Previous annual record22Highest number of turtles treated at one time18Turtles being treated8Kemps ridley turtles treated, released this year6Loggerhead turtles treated, released this year1Green turtle and hybrid turtle released this yearS.C. Aquarium
Ten juvenile sea turtles were flown to the South Carolina Aquarium from Boston on Wednesday to be treated for cold-stuns. They are among more than 140 turtles that have washed up on New England beaches over the past few weeks.
The eight Kemps ridley and two green turtles were caught by a sudden plunge in temperatures that left the reptiles with the equivalent of hypothermia, a condition that can kill them.
The numbers have overwhelmed the New England Aquarium, so the Charleston facility stepped in to help.
Gary Davis, of Davis Air Charter, donated the flight as a public gesture but had a kids grin on his face as he helped unload the turtles.
The turtles are each a year or two old, so its very likely this was their first trip north. Turtles hatched along Southeast and Gulf coast beaches swim to the Gulf Stream, which they ride to the north Atlantic, arriving at about this age.
Their inexperience and lack of body mass makes them particularly vulnerable to cold-stunning.
All seven species of sea turtles are considered threatened or endangered; Kemps ridleys are considered the rarest of them.
The flight Wednesday followed a flight in January that transported seven turtles from the New England facility. All those turtles have been returned to the ocean.
The New England facility is on pace for an unhappy record year treating cold-stunned turtles, said Christi Hughes, South Carolina Aquarium sea turtle biologist.
The aquarium here is already at a record pace for treating sick or injured turtles. The new arrivals bring the total so far this year to 36, said Kelly Thorvalson, sea turtle rescue program manager. They bring the active patient roll to 18.
Sea turtles, particularly the loggerhead, are the coddled creatures of the Lowcountry coast, where volunteer groups monitor their nests and onlookers crowd the releases of rehabbed turtles. Something about the reptiles enchants people. When Davis and co-pilot Neil McCann landed Thursday, their wives were there to greet the plane. Sure, Davis got a kiss. But Jackie Davis came to see the turtles.
Ive always loved them. Its just a real thrill, she said.

Bangkok Travel Guide
Travelers have a hard time putting a pin in Bangkok's personality. Most first-timers see this city as one caught between the past and the present. Ancient temples and modern shopping malls comprise Thailand's capital, and Buddhist monks and regulars of Patpong (Bangkok's red light district) share the city's streets. The contrast can result in an exhilarating yet chaotic setting. continue» Read More
When to Visit Bangkok
The best time to visit Bangkok is from late October to March, when the heat and humidity are at their lowest. Still, this is Thailand, so temperatures may climb into the 90s. To find deals on airfare and hotel rates, consider a trip between April and mid-October, when frequent rain showers send many travelers in search of drier ground.Read More Best Times to Visit Bangkok»
Temperature [+ enlarge]Precipitation [+ enlarge]
Getting Around Bangkok
The best way to get around Bangkok is by Skytrain or Metro, which are fast, affordable, and easily navigable for visitors. The city also offers an extensive network of buses, but these are prone to traffic jams. And while we're on the topic of heavy traffic, don't even think about driving. It will only frustrate you. Taxis are fairly cheap, but again, gridlock is a regular issue. However, taxis are the easiest way to get from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) to downtown. The Airport Bus Express is another option. For a scenic view of the city, we suggest hopping aboard a riverboat and floating down the Chao Phraya River.Getting Around Bangkok»

Simulation Module Allows for Practicing Transseptal Puncturing
A transseptal puncture module for education and simulation technology is available for the Simbionix Angio Mentor simulator.
Due to the growing interest in catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), the transseptal puncture has become a required routine skill for the electrophysiologist. The transseptal puncture permits a direct route to the left atrium (LA) via the intra-atrial septum (by puncturing the fossa ovalis) and systemic venous system.
The company offers a complete training curriculum for electrophysiologists on the simulator, allowing the physicians a safe environment in which to train until proficient in the essential skills. These include advancing the electrophysiology catheter into the coronary sinus and the Josephson catheter in the HIS area, and performing two transseptal punctures when needed. Practical aspects of this important technique include identifying the optimal transseptal puncture site and using the correct and safe puncturing technique. During the simulation, life-threatening complications such as aortic punctures need to be attended to.

Sesame Street's Cookie Monster and Elmo visit Josey Wells, 4, at Niswonger Children's Hospital on Monday. (Tony Duncan/Johnson City Press)
The normally quiet halls of Niswonger Children's Hospital quickly filled with gasps and giggles Monday afternoon as two celebrities from the longstanding TV program "Sesame Steet" visited with patients.
Taking it easy before the start of their two scheduled performances of "Sesame Street Live: Can't Stop Singing" at Freedom Hall Civic Center today, Elmo and Cookie Monster strutted down the hospital hallway, stopping at each open door to wave and earn a smile from the kids and their families.
One patient, Tyler Smith, 5, who had been admitted to the hospital Saturday with walking pneumonia, was on his way out the door when the life-size "Sesame Street" icons came to say hello.
Smith, much shorter than the bright blue and red characters, beamed with excitement as Elmo and Cookie Monster danced around his room.
His mother, Brenda Bentley, said seeing the Sesame Street stars interact with her son was a great way to be discharged from the hospital.
"He's been a really sick little boy," Bentley said. "He was excited to see the Cookie Monster and Elmo. It was awesome. I took a lot of pictures. It was kind of like a 'Congratulations, you're getting better' type of thing. It was really awesome that they came in to see him. That was so cool."
She said Smith had low oxygen levels and a high fever during his bout with walking pneumonia, but said he was doing much better and was excited to go home Monday.
"You would never know he was sick now," Bentley said. "The staff has been wonderful, they really have. They've taken excellent care of him and me. It's nice to have a children's hospital ... where they're used to dealing with kids instead of adults."
Joanna Swinehart, manager of children's health advocacy and communications at the Niswonger Children's Hospital, said this is the third year Elmo and Cookie Monster have come to visit patients in the hospital and said it's just as exciting for the staff, as it is the kids.
"Once a year, usually when they're in town, they'll give us a call and ask if we have some patients that would want to have a visit and, of course, we always want them to come see us," Swinehart said. "We've already had so many kids that their days have just been brightened with this visit. It's good for patients (and) it's good for our team members. From team member morale to just our patient experience ... it lifts (up) everyone."
"Sesame Street Live: Can't Stop Singing" will be performed at Freedom Hall today at 10:30 a.m. and again at 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit http://www.johnsoncitytn.org/freedomhall/.

Just Picked up these comments about our Tea Sticks from the web
It seems that people are trying to promote the tea culture now. People may think that tea is only for old people, but no, look at the teastick, it looks so trendy, fashionable, well to me, at least I think it is cool, it is great!!!
I dont like tea infuser or tea balls, because past experiences told me that it is not easy to clean or dump the tea leaves.To me this teastick is much better when dealing with tea leaves+ easy to use + not expensive to buy one+ not only works as a infuser but also can work as a stirrer I am gonna order it now and have a try!!! coz there are more flavour or types of tea that are not selling in the form of tea bags
I really want to try them
.so i ought to buy a teastick.
Alternative choice:
Disposable teastick
Here is something very interesting for tea skeptics. Scientists may soon confirm what Chinese have been swearing by for centuries, Green tea helps kill germs. Not that I am about to give up soap and start washing my hands with green tea but there are folks who may just want to do that.
Researchers from the National institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana, Slovenia discovered that green tea catechins inhibit essential bacterial enzyme DNA gyrase, which is the target of several existing clinically used drugs. Efficiency of green tea extract in oral hygiene has been known for centuries and this gave researchers a clue that antibacterial activity might be involved. A cup of green tea contains up to 200 mg of catechins, whose biological activity has been mainly attributed to its antioxidant activity. By the use of NMR spectroscopy, researchers from Slovenia have now pinpointed the ATP-binding site of DNA gyrase as target of EGCG, the most abundant catechin from the green tea extract. Up to now several compounds targeted against the ATP-binding site of bacteria gyrase have been known but couldn't be used as drugs due to their side effects on mammalian cells.
Lead researcher Roman Jerala, the head of the Laboratory of Biotechnology at NIC explains: "We can anticipate to avoid the problem of toxicity using the compounds based on the green tea catechins, which have centuries of established safety record in the human diet."
This finding may be used to develop even more potent antibacterial compounds. Results were recently published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.
So what does all this mean in simple English? Well, I guess this means, Green tea may be great for washing away those little bugs on your hands. Who knows, someday, your doctor might prescribe a green tea shower, once a week. Chinese cant be wrong after all. They have been drinking green tea for five thousand years to keep all sorts of bugs away.
Hey, dont look at me, I just told you what these guys told me.

Okey, everyone knows that all red blooded 'North Americans' love their coffee. Then there are those red blooded 'North Americans' that swear by their 'Green Tea' or any tea for that matter. So what's good for you? Coffee or Tea? Honestly I don't know. Both have their 'Yins' and 'Yans'. I love tea, not because I sell it, but solely because like wine tea accompanies food so much better. Now that's something new. Isn't it?
Tea is not just a 'stand alone' beverage that you sip between the meals. It is also a very versatile natural drink that goes perfectly well with food. Unlike coffee, tea naturally complements food by rounding off its flavors. Without smothering your appetite tea fills those flavor gaps in a dish that if left unfulfilled leave you craving for more food. This sating property of tea, by itself makes it a healthier food accompaniment then water or wine. But then tea is known to have other health benefits.Theres loads of interesting information about 'tea and food pairing' at http://www.petittea.com. Just check it out and then lets argue about whats better, tea or coffee.

Some researchers say that tea combats heart disease, lowers cholesterol and staves off several types of cancer while protecting skin and strengthening bones and teeth.
Some of the most persuasive tea research links tea to lower risks of heart disease, stroke and high cholesterol. Numerous clinical trials as well as large population studies have found that regular tea drinkers are as much as 44 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack than the general population, and those who have had heart attacks are more likely to recover. Researchers at Boston University recently found that black tea appears to repair blood-vessel damage in people who have coronary-artery disease. And at the USDA, a just-completed study that controlled everything subjects ate and drank found that consistent tea-drinking significantly lowered LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) without decreasing helpful HDL cholesterol.
Green tea was the first tea studied for its cancer-fighting benefits. Recent research shows that any tea derived from the leaf of a warm-weather evergreen known as Camellia sinensis has similar cancer-fighting properties. This includes all green, black and red (oolong) teas. The leaves of this tree contain chemicals called polyphenols, which give tea its antioxidant properties. Herbal teas are not derived from this leaf and so do not have this particular health-promoting chemical.
The degree of processing determines whether a tea will be green, black or red. Green teas are the least processed. They are simply steamed quickly before packaging. Black and red teas are partially dried, crushed and fermented. The length of fermentation, which causes the leaves to blacken, determines whether the tea will be red or black. Regardless of the processing method, all teas contain polyphenols.

One of the more modern forms of tea infusion, an alternative to the tea bag, is Tea stick. Tea Sticks are perforated metal or extruded film tubes that contain tea leaves (often of a superior quality). Unlike a tea bag that compresses under its own weight when steeped in water, a tea stick allows the tea leaves enough space to uncurl and impart its full flavor to the water they steep in. Placed in a cup, hot water is directly poured over the tea stick and allowed to steep for a few minutes. The stick also acts as a strainer and a stirrer.
There are two kinds of tea sticks: Disposable and Reusable.

It is no surprise that it goes well with food. Like any small mid-course or a palate cleanser, tea is in one sense a great flavor bridge from one course to the next. It refreshes and readies the palate for flavor sensuality of the next course in your meal. More importantly it can also be paired with a specific dish - to help complete the flavor journey of that dish.

Did Eddie Johnson get called to the USMNT?
Dec 27, 2012, 4:30 PM EDT
It would appear that the Seattle Sounders striker is heading back to the American camp, at least according to Twitter and his frequent retweeting of congrats from fans.
If so, great. He deserves another run after an impressive year in Major League Soccer — Comeback Player Award controversy or not — and an excellent performance for the American squad in Antigua and Barbuda. Johnson, much to the surprise of pretty much everyone, proved he belongs somewhere in the Stars and Stripes player pool.
But why, oh why does he make it so difficult? The last time we went through this, he got in trouble for tweeting the news of his call before it could be announced. Is he really doing it again? Did he learn nothing?
Now look: I know he's excited. (I would be.) And proud of how he's come back. (And he should be.) And, yes, having to hold the news and the secrecy around who's getting a call to camp is sort of ridiculous. So I get the reasons for tweeting something. I do. I really do.
But… this isn't about Johnson. There are other people who need to be informed, other people who need to make the announcement, other people who need to do a lot of other things. There are many, many, many moving parts to making a national team camp happen. Johnson is just a small part of all of it. He needs to understand that and it seems he doesn't.
In the grand scheme of things, it's probably not a big deal. But at the same time, why do it? If your coach, your manager, your team doctor, anyone asks you not to spread the word, don't spread the word. Is it really that complicated?
Apparently so:

Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. This really is a non story, except to bored journalists. And only then because they're sore that they're not the ones breaking the news. Selfish is right, selfish journalists!!

No, he didn't get in trouble. YOU suggested he might get in trouble.
Huge difference. Obviously he didn't get in as much trouble as you thought he should.

New Projects
Hey everyone, I know it has been a while since an update on here. The problem is that the work recently on the code hasn't really produced anything worth looking at.
Nevertheless, there are two new Theme Hospital related projects that are being updated at the moment. One of them is CorsixHospital, developed by Corsix. A screen shot of this is below:
You can also watch a video of it:
The other project is Java Hospital, which does not use the original graphics and is top down. And written in Java. I don't have any screenshots of this right now.
Both projects have new sub-forums at the OpenTH forums, so the community can be kept together. Feel free to post and give your opinions!CorsixTH, General, OpenTH

Bobby Wahl came out on the losing of Friday's duel against Mississippi State's Chris Stratton.
- Filed Under
It's not like Bobby Wahl pitched poorly Friday at Dudy Noble Field.
But with Mississippi State ace Chris Stratton working his way up, down and through the Ole Miss lineup during a 4-0 victory, Wahl could not afford to give up anything.
He did - four hits and one earned run in six innings - and as a result Wahl took his first loss of the season, dropping to 5-1 a couple days after the sophomore right-hander from Virginia was named to the USA Baseball National Collegiate team. ...

The BLM has been pursuing the restoration of access to the Bullwhacker Coulee area in Blaine County since it was lost as a result of a legal determination several years ago.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) had considered a preliminary proposal to exchange private and public lands in Blaine, Fergus, and Musselshell Counties.
After careful consideration of the proposed land exchange option the BLM announced on Aug. 8, 2014 that all proposed land exchange options were carefully considered, however there was no viable option in the best interest of the American people who have entrusted the BLM to manage their public lands for them.
Road building was then considered as the primary option to regain vehicular public access. A series of public scoping meetings was held Dec. 2-4, 2014, in Great Falls, Chinook and Lewistown, Montana., starting the 60-day scoping period in the process of preparing an environmental assessment (EA) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to guide the decision making in reestablishing road access into the Bullwhacker Coulee area of the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. Analyzed in that document will be alternative methods of restoring public access to the Bullwhacker. Some of the comments the BLM received from Americans during the public scoping meetings were for the BLM to: build a by-passing road; build a hiking trail; revisit the land exchange idea to find a viable solution; and take no action to restore access.
The public is asked to provide additional ideas they may have during the scoping process.

* Correction - None of these BLM in-holdings, including Durfee Hills, have overland public access. Limited access by fixed wing aircraft is available on established two tracks which are suitable to land on without going cross-country. All the proposed parcels may be accessible by helicopter. This area is accessed by a limited number of user's each year.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 16, 2004 "I enjoyed the camaraderie, the discipline, the interaction between soldiers," said Army Staff Sgt. Heather Martin after three years testing the waters of military life in the Army Reserve in her native Ohio. That was nine years ago, when she opted to dive into active duty service.
Today, as an occupational therapy assistant here at Brooke Army Medical Center, Martin said she's discovered tremendous fulfillment helping wounded troops from Iraq and Afghanistan rebuild their lives. Most of Martin's patients have lost arms or use of their arms in combat.
During sessions ranging from 45 minutes to an hour, Martin slowly helps them move beyond their injuries.
"I teach them how to have a normal life day-to-day things like how to button their shirts or brush their teeth," she said. "When they first get here, they're often depressed. And it's tremendously rewarding to watch them gain independence and transform into social people with a positive outlook on what's ahead for them."
Martin said she feels a strong affinity with her patients. "They're like my brothers and sisters," she said. "You really feel what they've been through, and their pain. My job is to take care of them when they get back."
And while she's not serving in Southwest Asia or other hot spots around the world, Martin said she feels she's playing an important role in the war on terror. "I may not actually be on the front lines, but somebody has to be there for the soldiers when they get back to help them get to the point where they can be soldiers again," she said.
Although she acknowledges that she "never planned on staying" on active duty, she's now convinced that she could never find anything quite as rewarding as military service in the civilian world. "I love my job and I love what I do," she said.
"The Army has been very good to me. There's a real sense of family and you know that there will always be somebody there for you," she said. "I'm not sure that there's a job on the outside that could offer that much."

Far be it for me to claim there is no problem with Afghan soldiers attacking coalition troops in Afghanistan. Obviously the problem is real—and so is the fallout. Witness French President Nicolas Sarkozy's threat to pull French forces out of the country after four French soldiers were killed by an apparent Afghan soldier, or at least a gunman in an Afghan uniform. But the New York Times still appears to be overhyping the threat with its lead article this morning which proclaims:
American and other coalition forces here are being killed in increasing numbers by the very Afghan soldiers they fight alongside and train, in attacks motivated by deep-seated animosity between the supposedly allied forces, according to American and Afghan officers and a classified coalition report obtained by the New York Times.
One has to read literally to the end of the article to find the details which make these claims less alarming than they appear at first blush. In the first place, that "classified coalition report" was not, apparently, a document issued by any U.S. or NATO headquarters. It was, according to the article, "prepared for a subordinate American command in eastern Afghanistan" (presumably Regional Command-East, but why not use the official title?) "by a behavioral scientist who surveyed 613 Afghan soldiers and police officers, 215 American soldiers and 30 Afghan interpreters who worked for the Americans." In other words, this was one of countless documents prepared for various commands in Afghanistan by contractors and employees; it is not, as far as I can tell, an official statement of policy.
Which is not to deny that the problems outlined in the report, as summarized in the Times, are real—especially the lack of trust that too often characterizes relationships between U.S. and Afghan units. But such issues are hardly new; they were also prevalent in Iraq, and in both countries they can be addressed by better training (on both sides) and closer mentoring. Paradoxically, coalition soldiers are likely to be safer the closer they get to their Afghan counterparts—this builds bonds of trust that are the best protection anyone can have in this tribal society. By trying to hold Afghan soldiers at arm's length—for example by walling off their compounds from U.S. bases or preventing them from carrying weapons on U.S. bases—coalition troops are actually increasing the risk to themselves because they send a clear message to their Afghan partners that they are not trusted.
Episodes of Afghan soldiers attacking their coalition partners certainly do much to fray trust, but it may be doubted this is quite as much of an epidemic as the Times claims. Deep in the article we read as follows:
The classified report found that between May 2007 and May 2011, when it was completed, at least 58 Western service members were killed in 26 separate attacks by Afghan soldiers and the police nationwide. Most of those attacks have occurred since October 2009. This toll represented 6 percent of all hostile coalition deaths during that period, the report said.
Twenty-six attacks in four years works out to fewer than seven attacks a year. And the casualty total from these attacks has been inflated by one particularly grisly and unexpected outrage which occurred in April 2011 when an Afghan Air Force colonel killed eight U.S. officers and contractors in Kabul.
The larger picture, which goes unmentioned entirely in the article, is that coalition casualties are not only considerably lower in aggregate than in Iraq but are also declining. According to icasualties.org, 566 coalition troops were killed in Afghanistan last year, down considerably from the 711 killed in 2010—an achievement especially impressive because in the meantime the total number of coalition forces in Afghanistan had surged and they had moved into some of the Taliban's toughest strongholds.
Again, I don't mean to minimize the problem with "blue on blue" attacks in Afghanistan, but alarmist reports such as this one can give a skewed presentation of the on-the-ground reality.

Chapter 1
Kinetics and Mechanisms of Reactions at the Mineral-Water Interface: An Overview
The study of environmental aquatic chemistry has matured over the past 30 years and with it the understanding of natural aquatic systems has grown. One outgrowth of this more mature understanding is a realization that reactions occurring at mineral-water interfaces are central to many, perhaps most, processes of geochemical importance. The rates of many ecosystem scale or even global scale processes are controlled by mineral-water interfacial reactions. The centrality of reactions at mineral-water interfaces is not a new idea as evidenced by previous research compilations which have emphasized the mineral-water interface to varying degrees. Rapid advances were made in the 1980's with the advent of a variety of modern spectroscopic techniques that, for the first time, allowed the direct study of mineral surfaces. In the last decade, researchers have coupled the detailed knowledge of surface structure available from these spectroscopic techniques with experimental and modeling studies of macroscopic surface structure behavior.

Natural energy boosters provide the lift you need when you are fighting exhaustion and just have to get through the day. When your get up and go got up and went, supplements and herbs for energy, along with wise time tested practices can help your body generate the energy and vitality you need.
There are two kinds of natural energy boosters. Stimulants provide a quick pick me up. Deep energy builders generally improve overall levels of health and vitality, making it natural for your body to generate all the energy you need.
Although it is rarely a good idea to whip your tired body into action, sometimes you do need to keep going.
Natural stimulants can get you through a tough day.
They work by temporarily revving up your central nervous system and adrenaline release which speeds metabolism. They do not provide you with a source of energy. Instead, your body is made to pump out more fuel, like pressing harder on the gas pedal of your car.
When you are in good health, low doses of stimulants like caffeine from a daily cup or two of coffee are generally safe. When you are already ill or depleted, even this may be a bad idea. You may get a quick lift, but your body's ability to generate sufficient vitality may drop even more in the long run.
You will be far better off in the long run practicing habits that build energy, along with natural healthy energy drinks containing vitamins for energy, nutritious foods, and herbs for energy. This is like putting good quality gasoline in your car. When your body gets what it needs, you will have plenty of short and long term verve.
Herbs act as natural energy boosters in several ways. They either act as natural stimulants and/or they help your body heal and build reserves through nutrition, toning properties, and stress-moderating constituents.
Energy Herbs contain natural stimulants such as caffeine or other substances. Unlike pure stimulant products and popular, powerful unhealthy energy drinks, they work much more gently when properly used. Unless over-processed, they also contain anti-oxidants, other constituents, vitamins and minerals which support your health instead of just depleting it.
Coffee and tea are widely used as stimulant natural energy boosters. Guarana (Paullinia cupana) and Afrikan kola nut (Cola acuminata) are often found in weight loss or energy products. Cacao contains theobromine which is similar to caffeine. Ephedra, a wonderful allergy and energy herb when used properly, has been banned in the U.S. because of hazardous side effects from overuse as a dieting supplement. Cayenne pepper, cinnamon, yerba mate and ginger are other stimulating energy herbs.
To support your body's energy production, the following groups of herbs can be very helpful. Some of these herbs also provide gentle stimulation.
Herbal Adaptogens are superb natural energy boosters because they support energy production and use in two ways. They protect your mind and body from the effects of energy sapping stress and help regulate your body's production and use of energy. Eleuthero, or siberian ginseng, is a revered adaptogen. Cooling rhodiola is loved because of its many positive actions including easing exhaustion when endurance is needed.
The leaves of yerba mate, a South American shrub have more antioxidants than green tea. It has a 'green' taste and contains vitamins and minerals. Yerba mate is mildly stimulating because it contains one-third the caffeine of coffee. Interestingly, it appears to stimulate the heart (not the central nervous system) and has a relaxing effect on smooth muscle tissue.
Tonic herbs tone and strengthen body systems. They are safe to use for long periods of time. You can cook with them, make teas or tinctures, or take them as supplements. The ginsengs are well-known tonic energy herbs. Here are three others:
Shisandra Berry (Schizandra chinensis) is an Oriental energy tonic known as "five flavors berry". It is a gentle stimulant that tones your adrenals, central nervous system, and liver. Schisandra also aids digestion and may promote good sleep. All of these effects help your energy levels in the long and short term.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra, Glycyrrhiza uralensis) also has a tonifying effect on the adrenals. These glands are often compromised due to chronic stress and over-stimulating a tired body to put out more energy.
Ashwagandha root (Withania somnifera) is a very popular Ayurvedic herb reputed to increase energy, endurance and mental functioning, especially if you are fatigued from stress, overwork or nervous tension.
Ashwagandha is often used to increase sexual vitality and energy. If you are suffering from pain and fatigue, ashwagandha may be helpful because it also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Nutritive Herbs consumed as foods or beverages in sufficient quantity make wonderful herbs for energy. They provide an abundance of minerals and vitamins for energy along with positive effects on different systems. Nettle and oatstraw infusions are incredibly healthy energy drinks. They nourish and build deep energy. Nutritious kelp supports your thyroid. Dandelion root stimulates the digestive system.
If you are deficient in certain nutrients, or just need a little extra support, supplements and energy vitamins can help.
For long term best results and a steady supply of mental and physical energy, learn reasons may be so tired and address those reasons naturally.

Gold Girdled Breasts
By Gary Amirault
In the Original King James Bible of 1611, in Revelation 1:13 we find this unusually phrased Scripture. I am going to spell each word as it appears in the original edition of the KJV. "And in the midst of the seuen candlestickes, one like vnto the Sonne of man, clothed with a garment downe to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle."
The New King James reads, "girded about the chest with a golden band", while the New International Version reads, "with a golden sash around His chest".
Recently, I read an article that quoted that Scripture from the KJV and found that word "paps" a bit strange. In looking up the Greek word translated "paps" by KJV and "chest" by the NIV, I discovered that in this case, the KJV was correct and the NIV was misleading. Usually the KJV is in error, but not this time. The Greek word is "mastois". (For those of you who know Greek, you know the last letter is not the final "s" symbol, but I couldn't find that symbol in this font so I used the regular "s".) It is the same word found in Luke 11:27 where the woman said to Jesus, "Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed you!" Jesus' response was, "More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"
We find this word used again in a very peculiar way in Revelation 15:6. "And the seuen Angels came out of the temple, hauing the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linnen, and hauing their breasts girded with golden girdles." Original KJV of 1611
The New King James and the NIV use the word "chest", but I think incorrectly.
As I pondered these Scriptures, in the light of "paps" or "breasts" being the correct translation, I thought about the fact that a baby has to have it's mother to keep it's life going, but it can do without the father. The mother has the first shot at winning the affection of the child. The mother went through the pain of child birth, not the father. As I pondered these things, I remembered some of the teachings by Stacy Wood and others who pointed out that the female and the feminine gender in Scripture often symbolizes the soul while the male or masculine gender often refers to the spirit. I began to see how mankind's affection and strength and loyalty has been won by the woman (soul) and the father (spirit) has taken a clear second place. I then was brought to the Scripture in Revelation 12:5-6. "She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days."
In the previous verse we are told she was in pain giving birth, but before she could nurture the male child, it was immediately caught up to God (the Father and Spirit) and His throne (authority or rulership) while she was fed by a "they".
I declare to you this day, there will come a many membered man child (Spirit centered) who will not be taught and nurtured by a woman (soul-centered), but immediately will be caught up to be fed by a man (Spirit) whose milk (True Word) is covered with Gold (the nature of the Father). This many membered man-child's first loyalty will be to the Father who is the source of all power, righteousness, and truth. The girdle, in the old Testament, was symbolic of these attributes. The woman, is without true milk and she herself needs to be nurtured by a "they" for a certain period of time. These "they" may be humans or spirits since the word "angel" can refer to a human being. Since Adam and Eve, the woman has had a position which has not produced maturity, but there is a Man who is many membered, in the midst of the seven lampstands, and He will give True Food. He will not steal the loyalty of the children and give a false view of the Father. He will glorify the Father and tear down the Babylonian terror-filled false image of the Father the church has painted for the last 1600 years.
My child, come to your loving Heavenly Father, who loves you beyond anything you can imagine. He loves your family, friends, and enemies just the same. Rise up and meet Him in the air and leave your heavy idols on the ground and you will find rest, strength, truth, and love in His loving arms, and the peace that passes all understanding will be your swaddling clothes. Rest, my child, your Father has given you all things. I weep, as I think of how many of us have received such a horribly distorted image of the Father of us all. May you be set free to be released into the arms of the One who gives True Food, your heavenly Father.

Central Park West Apartment
This classic seven was well proportioned but dilapidated: exposed exhaust ducts, windows blocked up with air conditioners, and cracked and peeling finishes. By tucking the ducts and equipment out of sight, we restored the apartment's dignity. A curtain of metal beads integrates the living-room bookshelves with the new stone and plaster fireplace wall. In the kitchen and pantry, stainless steel and etched glass contrast with natural linoleum.

Art and Soul Restaurant
Hi Everyone,
I saw one review on Art and Soul and was wondering if anyone else has been. I'm talking my sister there to celebrate receiving her MA degree.
If not, does anyone have any good recommendations that will allow an 8 months pregnant woman to eat well.
I was there during its first week open. The food very good -- clean and fresh, if you will. Everything seemed very light and simple flavorwise. I ate fish tacos which was perfectly cooked. My dining mates ate salmon and ravioli. Reportedly, both were good. Just an FYI, you do need to order sides as proteins tend to be served with very little else. The wait staff were very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Desserts were delicious -- we ate an apple cobbler and a bread pudding. As I work in that area, it is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
re: anunez
Yep. Here's my review. I'd definely recommend it for after work drinks.

any luck already? Looks like your infectus connection drops or so. Had a couple of nands that were also acting up but since you need to flash the whole lot that could be a problem.
What happens if you disconnect en connect again after flashing for so long, is the nand still recognised?

All told, he was the regular third baseman for the Crusaders for six seasons and captained the teams of 1897 and 1898. In his six seasons at Holy Cross, playing with such greats as Louis Sockalexis, the Crusaders posted a 106-38-2 record. Upon graduation, Fox received contract offers from all eight National League teams, but he turned them down and chose to enter the seminary and become a member of the priesthood.

Court Orders Safeway To Refund Overcharges For Online Orders
Despite facing two previous lawsuits related to overcharging customers at its bricks-and-mortar stores, it doesn't appear that Safeway understands the concept that you can't say something is one price and then make a customer pay more – even online. And last week, a California federal judge ruled Safeway must refund customers the amount of money they were overcharged when the company broke its own terms and conditions by marking up prices of items ordered online.
