"Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod (vs15)."
Don't get angry because God chastises us for sin. We read, "And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God. And David became angry because of the Lord's outbreak against Uzzah" (vs6-9). It is OUR FAULT that we transgressed, and God is righteous to punish, even to death. Our happiness is not the test of righteousness (how we feel about it); obedience to God's word is the test because we can be happy and sinful, doing wrong and thinking that we are right. David and all Israel rejoiced in moving the ark, but God killed Uzzah for doing it the wrong way. We read later, "And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites… He said to them, "You are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it. For because you did not do it the first time, the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him about the proper order (1 Chron 15:11-13)." It was this way in false religion, when we pleased ourselves, but God's way is the only way, so GET BACK ON TRACK, being thankful that He forgives murmuring complainers! Do it God's way, and He'll be with you: the problem is with us, but it's correctable!
Secondly, there's great joy in following Christ, and living as He commands. We read, "Now it was told King David, saying, 'The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.' So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness. And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep. Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet (vs12-15)." Do not be afraid: God's ways please Him, and THERE IS joy and peace in obedience (Rom 15:13). He will bless faith and good works, and He'll honor everyone who honors His word, living strictly by His commands. Don't say, "I'll be happy in the flesh", but walk in the Spirit, getting grace to love instead of hate and to do good to those who mistreat you (Gal 5:19-26). Joy in Christ is believing His work for you, and it is trusting Him to work in you, receiving His forgiveness and then forgiving others; it is repenting in hope, not condemned over sins, and not allowing them to rule us. Are you in a bad marriage, then be a great husband or wife. Is your life vain and empty, then live for God's glory, not what you want, and peace will come that the world cannot understand. Yes, rejoice in God's will, diligently following the scripture, and joy will guide you in eternal life. You and I can be happy (Col 3:12-17)!
Finally, the humble are honored by the humble. We read, "Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, 'How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!' So David said to Michal, 'It was before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel. Therefore I will play before the Lord. And I will be even more undignified than this [in your eyes], and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor (vs20-22)." The poor in spirit see the humble praise God, and they rejoice with us, seeing God's goodness to the hell worthy in Christ, electing us to salvation rather than the curse. Philippians 3:3 says, "For we are the circumcision [true children of God], who worship God in the Spirit [by faith], rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh". Michal hated David's humility, but God's people identify with electing love and mutually rejoice in Christ's sacrifice! Do not be ashamed to dance before Him, glorying in Him instead of self. Some will hate your good works, but God's people are pleased with the praise. The curse came upon Michal, but God's blessing is on the nobodies who see all goodness in Him. Do everything His way, rejoicing that He cleanses you, and be unashamed of true joy!

Slideshow: Alan Shepard's Historic Spaceflight
The Mercury 7
In 1959, in the early years of the space race against the Soviet Union, NASA invited 110 military test pilots to volunteer for Project Mercury, the United States' first manned spaceflight program. Because the Mercury spacecraft afforded little room, candidates had to be less than 6 feet and weigh no more than 180 pounds. Other requirements included 1,500 hours of flying time and an age under 40. After several month of physical and mental testing, NASA narrowed the group down to seven astronauts, including Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom and John Glenn. (Credit: NASA)la
Ham the Chimpanzee After His Spaceflight
Before sending humans into space, NASA used animals to test the safety of Project Mercury's equipment and procedures. A chimpanzee named Ham went on a suborbital mission on January 31, 1961, in a spacecraft similar to that piloted by Alan Shepard during his historic flight more than two months later. After 16 minutes in space, Ham splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean, suffering only a bruised nose. He lived out the rest of his years at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., and at the North Carolina Zoo. (Credit: NASA)la
Alan Shepard in His Spacesuit
Of the seven Project Mercury astronauts, 37-year-old Alan Shepard, a New Hampshire-born World War II veteran with more than 8,000 hours of flying time, was chosen to pilot the first manned mission. His intelligence, devotion and determination were later cited as reasons for his selection. (Credit: NASA)la
Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin
Originally scheduled for March 1961, Shepard's journey aboard the Freedom 7 spacecraft was postponed several times due to technical problems. On April 12, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin blasted off from a base in Kazakhstan and completed an orbit around the Earth, becoming the first person to enter outer space. It was to be his only spaceflight.la
Launch of Freedom 7
Three weeks after Gagarin landed safely in Russia, Shepard, ensconced in Freedom 7's capsule, was launched from Cape Canaveral by a Redstone rocket. An estimated 45 million Americans watched on live television as the spacecraft lifted off at 9:34 a.m. (Credit: NASA)la
Shepard in Freedom 7's Capsule
During the flight, which lasted for 15 minutes and 28 seconds, Shepard traveled more than 300 miles from his launch point. Unlike Gagarin's mission, Mercury-Redstone 3 followed a ballistic trajectory and did not complete an orbit of the Earth. John Glenn would become the first American to accomplish that feat in February 1962, traveling around the Earth three times on the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission. (Credit: NASA)la
Recovery of Freedom 7
After Freedom 7 splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean, Shepard waited inside the capsule for rescue to arrive. After several minutes, a recovery helicopter hovered over the splashdown point. (Credit: NASA)la
Shepard Completes His Mission
Shepard exited through Freedom 7's main hatch and was hoisted aboard the helicopter. (Credit: NASA)la
Shepard and Freedom 7 Aboard USS Lake Champlain
Both the astronaut and his spacecraft were flown to a waiting aircraft carrier, USS Lake Champlain. (Credit: NASA)la
Gus Grissom
The second American to enter space was Gus Grissom, who piloted the Mercury-Redtone 4 mission on July 21, 1961. After completing a suborbital flight similar to Shepard's, he encountered problems when his capsule, Liberty Bell 7, began to flood after splashdown. Grissom survived but the spacecraft was lost at sea. Assigned as command pilot for the first Apollo mission, Grissom died tragically on January 27, 1967, when a fire during a pre-launch test claimed the lives of all three Apollo 1 astronauts. (Credit: NASA)la
The Crew of Apollo 14
After his historic flight, Alan Shepard was grounded for several years due to health problems. During this time he oversaw flight training, crew selection, spacecraft development and more as NASA's chief astronaut. Restored to flight status in 1969, he commanded the Apollo 14 mission—the third to land on the moon—in January and February of 1971. (Credit: NASA)la
Alan Shepard on the Moon
During the Apollo 14 mission, Shepard became the fifth person to walk on the moon. He delighted television viewers by hitting two golf balls off the lunar surface with a makeshift club. Shepard retired from NASA and the Navy in 1974. (Credit: NASA)la

BOSTON, April 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Data presented at this week's 28th Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) suggest the potential of a significant impact of using biomarkers to reduce the need for biopsies and personalize transplant patient care. Non-invasive testing using gene-based blood or urine samples called biomarkers could offer transplant patients personalized care and medication and may replace the need for costly, invasive biopsy procedures that can be risky for patients. The meeting will run through Saturday at the Boston Marriott Copley Place and Hynes Convention Center.
Personalized care is an integrative process of tailoring care to an individual patient's characteristics or preferences, based on each individual's unique biology, behavior and environment. At this year's meeting, researchers are presenting data from gene and protein based blood testing that may be helpful for reducing immunosuppression. Related data suggests gene analysis may allow for prediction of future occurrence of cardiac allograft rejection and its diagnosis.
Today's plenary lectures provide current perspectives on biomarkers in transplantation. In Biomarkers: What Are They? How Might They Aid in Care of Allograft Recipients and Other Patients, Christopher J. O'Donnell, MD, MPH, from NIH National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute/Framingham Heart Study, Framingham, MA, will present data pertaining to personalized care, its benefits and future impact on heart and lung patients.
Following, Dr. Christoph Borchers, Director of the Genome Canada Proteomics Platform at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, will provide a look at the emerging strategies for plasma protein analysis in New Tools, Technologies and Results for Probing Proteomic Biomarkers in Plasma of Transplant Patients.
Finally, Dr. Ralph Weissleder from Massachusetts General

It's Friday morning and the New Jersey Marathon is Sunday… I should be crossing the start line almost exactly 73 hours from now. I'm feeling pretty good – dealing with a few taper nerves and just general excitement. After my highest mileage weeks a couple of weeks ago both Achilles tendons were feeling tight and a little sore but they have both bounced back with the reduced load.
My pre-run weight is flirting with the 155 lb. mark. While I wish it was a few pounds lower I am grateful to be making at least slow progress on that front. Weather looks good for the weekend – about 50 degrees at race time, low wind, partly sunny… can't ask for much better.
I'm going to do 4 easy today, probably take tomorrow off then a mile or two jog on Saturday. Tomorrow night I plan to enjoy an nice carb-rich dinner. Saturday morning we'll drive down to New Jersey.
My strength is the Lord but I am experimenting with beet juice – supposed to help the oxygen uptake. I ordered some through the local health food store and have started drinking it the last couple of days – kinda gives you the shivers but what won't we runners do for a little extra speed and strength? The juice is VERY purple, powerfully so. Powerful enough to turn everything violet if you know what I mean.

In this first installment of the Foundations of Audio series, author Brian Lee White shows how to improve the sound of a mix with compressors, limiters, gates, de-essers, and other dynamic processors. The course explains the fundamentals of sound waves, and amplitude, explores common compressor controls, and shows how to eliminate unwanted noise using gates and expanders. The course also demonstrates best practices in compression and limiting in a variety of audio applications and covers sculpting the attack and decay of individual notes with transient shapers and applying frequency specific dynamics control with multiband compressors. Exercise files accompany the course and include special Get in the Mix session files.
In post-production mixing or audio for video, it's fairly common to use side-chain compressors to duck music and effects under dialogue. This trick is especially handy when deadlines won't allow for time-consuming volume-automation passes. Here's how it works. Listen to this sample dialogue against the unducked music, and notice how the music is way too loud for the dialogue to be clearly audible. (music playing) (Male speaker: This is an example of audio ducking. My speech triggers compression on the music track, but when I stop--) Instead of using automation to turn the music down when the dialogue comes in, I'll try a different approach using the side-chain compressor.
Listen after I engage the side-chain compressor. (music playing) (Male speaker: This is an example of audio ducking. My speech triggers compression on the music track, but when I stop--) So, I start by applying a compressor to the music or effects submix. I'm using the C1 here. Now, because I want the compressor to react to the signal coming from the dialogue, I need to get the dialogue track to talk to the compressor on the music track, using the side-chain input.
In Pro Tools, I do this by creating a send to an internal bus. That send will feed the compressor's side-chain input, which is set to listen to the same bus. In other DAWs, like Logic for example, the key is simply selected from a track list at the top of the plug-in window. So, I'll choose a bus, Bus 1 in this case, and I'm going to bring that level up to around 0. I'm going to make sure that in my key input I've set to that same bus Bus 1 in this case.
Once my side chain is set up and the key is active, I can lower the threshold until I start to get a bit of attenuation on my music mix. Take a listen. (Male speaker: This is an example of audio ducking. My speech triggers compression on the music track, but when I stop--) (music playing) (Male speaker:--the music is allowed to return to its normal volume.) (music playing) When using the compressor to duck music under dialogue, I prefer to use longer release times so the music doesn't creep up between words, especially if I'm doing a significant amount of ducking.
Release times of one to two seconds or more in this case can really give the ducking effect that smooth automation ride sound that doesn't get choppy or cut into the dialogue. Now, even though many compressors can look ahead to anticipate the attack, they don't look ahead far enough to anticipate and duck the music in a subtle way. But this is the beauty of the side chain. We can tell the compressor to work from any signal we want. So, I might send the compressor a signal of a duplicate track of the dialogue that has been pulled earlier in time by one to two seconds and key with that.
This earlier dialogue track can be muted and not heard in the actual mix, while still sending signals through the compressor's side chain. In certain DAWs like Pro Tools, you'll need to use pre-fader sends to achieve this. That way the track's signal still passes audio at its send, but its main output is muted. I've gone ahead and set this up already in a hidden track called Dialogue Early and I've pulled this back one second so that it triggers early. It's been muted with the send set to PRE here. So, let's take a listen.
(music playing) (Male speaker: This is an example of audio ducking. My speech triggers compression on the music track, but when I stop--) (music playing) (Male speaker:--the music is allowed to return to its normal volume.) (music playing) Again, ducking dialogue is a great technique when automation rides would take too much time or you need to affect the work in real time with a live input.
Try this technique the next time you're working on dialogue and music in the same mix.

$290 million expected for W.Va.
It may sound like a nice problem for states -- figuring out how to spend the billions in infrastructure funding they'll receive as part of President Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan.
But the task is more complicated than it seems, as state officials try to set priorities while managing competing pressures from communities, watchdog groups and federal regulators over how the money is allocated.
Under the plan Obama is expected to sign into law early this week, states will divide $27 billion to build and repair roads and bridges. That is less than half the $64 billion in projects states told the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials late last year that they had ready to go.
West Virginia will receive $290.4 million for infrastructure projects. That's the 10th largest amount per capita among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Ohio will receive $1.335 billion (39th per capita) and Kentucky will get $521.1 million (34th per capita).
The law requires that half the money be spent on projects that have been vetted by the federal government and deemed "ready to go" in 120 days, as a way to jolt the economy and create jobs. That means state officials are under pressure to make decisions quickly on which projects to fund and which to bypass.
Mindful of the accelerated timetable they face, states are moving quickly to develop mechanisms for identifying priority projects and disbursing funding for them.
Some have created oversight commissions while others are leaving decisions to state transit officials. Some are required by law to involve state legislators, while legislators in states that don't require their participation are pressing to have input.
West Virginia House Speaker Rick Thompson said he plans to appoint a special committee to oversee the expected influx of federal dollars, which he estimated at $1.5 billion, including the infrastructure funds and other allocations.
The committee would also determine what, if any, role the Legislature would have in parceling out the federal funds.
Matt Turner, spokesman for Gov. Joe Manchin, said Monday that state officials are still trying to figure out what the bill means for West Virginia.
"This is a big bill and it's going to take a few days to get a handle on it," he said. "We have to determine how much money will be coming to the state and the communities, as well as the criteria and rules for spending it. The requirements are something we're going to continue to learn about in the days to come."
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, a Democrat, has retained a former U.S. diplomat as a temporary, unpaid "infrastructure czar." But the Republican-controlled state Senate, concerned that Strickland could try to push stimulus funding through the state's Controlling Board instead of through the legislature, has drawn up a separate "spending blueprint" for the federal stimulus money.
While some states have made their lists of "ready-to-go" infrastructure projects available online for public review, others have resisted, in part because the limited stimulus funding means only a fraction of the projects will receive money.
In California, for example, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's office rejected a request by The Associated Press for a detailed list of "ready-to-go" projects. The AP sought the information under the California Public Records Act, but the governor's office last week said the documents were internal drafts, adding "disclosure would chill critical communications to and within the Governor's Office, thereby harming the public interest."
The sheer volume of money directed toward state projects has fueled calls for transparency, with journalists, interest groups and others demanding a full accounting of which projects receive the funding, which are rejected, and why.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick addressed that sentiment last week when he named a local real estate developer to oversee bidding for the stimulus money. Patrick also set up a new Web site with information on every project that receives the money.
In Virginia, Gov. Tim Kaine, a Democrat, is taking a grass-roots approach, setting up a Web site seeking input from residents, local governments and community groups as to how the money should be spent. Nearly 600 suggestions poured in on the first day alone, state officials said.

By: Ashley McElroy, KOB Eyewitness News 4
The Central Consolidated School District is facing a $4 million budget shortfall for the upcoming school year. To make up for that loss, a lot of tough choices have to be made. One option is to close the district's only alternative high school.
But students, parents and teachers are spoke out against that proposal.
Closing the alternative high school is expected to save $1.7 million dollars, but students say they don't have anywhere else to go.
"Now you're telling me she's going to be a dropout because Shiprock High won't accept her," one parent said.
"This school has helped so many troubled kids, so many troubled kids that never got the help from Shiprock high school," said a student.
Career Prep is the only high school in the district that provides day care, which a lot of students rely on.
"And what are you going to do if everyone who's a teen parents and they don't have child care what are you going to do for child care when they go to Shiprock high school?" another student said.
District officials agree it's not the ideal situation, but they can't afford to keep the school open.
Career Prep High School Principal Joyce Rock said she worries students won't succeed at the other high school, but she's seen them grow stronger after getting the bad news.
"I've seen students that are so shy and would never get in front of a crowd or anything they're talking about their school because this is something they're passionate about and they've gained strength from one another," said Rock.
Students are using that strength to fight for a school that's given many of them a second chance.

Chopped Allstars is AMAZING
Simple...I just want to get any fan of food TV to realize how awesome this season of Chopped Allstars is. I just watched the new episode from Sunday (THANK YOU DVR), and both me and Mrs. Fed Up had not had such a good time watching a cooking competition in a long LONG time. Last weeks' episode was a match between 4 IRON CHEFS. Great episode.

Definition of DistortionAs reviewed by The Commodore on 2/18/2010
I was skeptical to think that this could be as vertile a distortion as advertised especially without a tone control. I was wrong. This pedal defines Distortion in its purest form. It ranges from a pushed speaker overdrive to a smooth fuzz cranked up. The distortion does not get in the way either and lets your notes articulate. The output on this pedal works much like simple tube amps with Gain and Volume so you can't just set the output at 12 o clock and play with the drive and this is what separates this pedal from the rest of the field. Distortion is gain and when turned down the output should need to be increased, makes sense... Still not the case with other Distortion pedals out there. What about tone you say? Why do other pedals even need a tone knob? They are built to give a consistent output despite the level of gain or distortion you set it at and that robs your signal of tone and on extreme units compresses your signal. Truth is you get all the tone control you need from your guitar and if you really truely need more EQ use your amp. I highly recommend this pedal. It is at a great price and don't pass up this b/c another unit has more knobs and switches! As is the case with most things in life LESS IS MORE!

Big Performance, Small PackageAs reviewed by Cho on 8/26/2009
I bought this pedal for my son 2weeks ago. I have been working with him and getting him set up for ayear. As he has progressed, he has gotten pretty particular about his sound and tone. Well after trying several pedals, he has landed. This little guy gives you that classic Jimmy Page sound to ear bleeding metal sounds. There are no noise intrusions at any level of output and has the best authentic sound for the money. A must have.5 of 5 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?Thank You for rating this review!

Activist Post
As we trudge through another presidential political season, the media seems to have already declared that the race will be between Mitt Romney and incumbent Barack Obama.This same establishment media appears desperate to identify meaningful differences between the two candidates.Yet they are in lock step on many of the most pressing issues facing America.
Sure they may have minor differences in how to bailout the economy through corporate welfare, or how to fight the war on terror (sic), or have a percentage or two difference in their tax policies; but they still view the status quo as acceptable. Neither candidate proposes any significant changes to transform a dying system that threatens to destroy the nation.
There is one candidate who's speaking about crucial issues that no others even dare address: Congressman Ron Paul. Paul is still in a competitive race for the GOP nomination despite every attempt by the media to claim otherwise. He has many more delegates than has been admitted and his crowds of enthusiastic supporters dwarf all of the other GOP candidates combined. In fact, it's increasingly difficult to believe that Romney has actually won any caucus or primaries based on his pathetic crowds.
Ron Paul is the only candidate whose intellectual honesty and consistency offers any hope of genuine solutions. Here are 10 issues that only Ron Paul is brave enough to address and propose solutions for:
|Jesse Warren Image
2. Stop Corporate Welfare: From corporate welfare and bailouts to corporate personhood, Ron Paul is the only major candidate to have spoken out against these policies. Obama and Romney both supported the financial bailouts at the expense of taxpayers and continued tax benefits to huge multinational corporations. And Romney infamously said "corporations are human beings", which Ron Paul quickly rebuked. Anyone who believes Obama or Romney, who both receive foolish sums of corporate campaign contributions, will do anything to reign in crony capitalism is kidding themselves.
Ron Paul is overwhelmingly supported by the troops because he seeks to bring them all home and end American aggression abroad.
4. Reform the Monetary System: The masses have woken up to the fact that the Federal Reserve and their predatory monetary policy is at the root of most economic problems. Ron Paul is not just the only candidate that is speaking about this, he's likely the only politician in America that understands it. Debt-based money issued by an unaccountable private entity must end. Until we change to a fair and sound approach to currency, America will maintain its collision course to economic ruin. Ron Paul is the most qualified candidate to navigate the economy through transitioning from the 'end stages' of the Federal Reserve system to something better.
5. Restore Individual Liberty: Civil libertarians are appalled at the Obama presidency. Just when they thought it couldn't get worse than under Bush, American citizens can now be assassinated without due process, jailed indefinitely without charges, must submit to a TSA full-body groping for the right to travel, have all their communications wiretapped, and can even be strip searched for minor infractions or the speculation of an infraction. Since Romney supports all of these measures and more, Ron Paul, again, is the only national candidate seeking to reverse these grotesque violations of our rights.
6. Stop Foreign Aid: Foreign aid, funded by our tax dollars, has been sold as a humanitarian policy. Yet, instance after instance, it has proven to be nothing more than a tool of imperial colonialism and corporate welfare. For example, AIDS medicine and vaccines for the Third World serve to fatten the pockets of Big Pharma more than they help the people who receive them. And military aid is always accompanied by a security agreement to protect American (corporate) interests, while the bulk of the "aid" is immediately funneled back to U.S. weapons manufacturers. It's time to end the madness, and Ron Paul is the only one demanding we do just that.
|Campaign for Liberty image
8. Health Freedom: In America, you can eat GMO foods, MSG, gulp fluoride-laced water, smoke cigarettes, take Oxycontin, and drink all the alcohol you want; but don't even think about drinking raw milk or using the healing properties of medical marijuana. Literally, no other politician in the entire country addresses the hypocrisy involved in limiting our health freedoms. Besides calling for the legalization of raw milk sales and legalization of marijuana, Paul also advocates deregulating natural health practitioners to expand healthcare choices for all Americans.
9. End the Income Tax: It's still controversial to refer to the income tax as unconstitutional. Yet, that doesn't change the fact that it is. The personal income tax is stealing from the labor of individuals. It's modern-day slavery. Interestingly, the income tax wasn't necessary in America until the Federal Reserve took over the monetary system in 1913 and debt-based money was issued. For all the naysayers about this issue, when we reform the monetary system, end the useless wars and other unproductive spending, the income tax will simply not be needed. Clearly, no other candidate would be so bold as to suggest ending the IRS while also having a sound philosophy and plan to actually make it work.

Question: how many teeth do snails have?
Asked by joyburgess to Charlotte, Jo, Kevin, Louise, Valeria on 18 Jun 2012.
0Short link http://ias.im/84.2177 | Comment on this question
Snails do have teeth, but they are not like teeth you'd find in mammals or reptiles. Nearly all snails have what are known as radulas. Radulas are hard, ribbonlike organs that look like small tongues. Radulas contain several rows of tiny teeth.
Some snails have just a few teeth while others have thousands (it depends on the species!). As these teeth wear away over time, they are replaced by new ones.

Bats are the only mammals that have the ability to fly.
By day the flying fox roosts in communal sites, called camps, hanging upside
down in large trees. Favored roost sites are often used for many
years, and the trees become stripped of bark and foliage by the bats' sharp
claws. The camps also have a musky odor that is characteristic of flying
foxes. During the day the bats are noisy and active. Camps
may contain several hundred to several thousand flying foxes. Within
the roost there is often pecking order whereby the more dominant males
occupy the best roosting sites.
Despite its large size, the flying fox is less feared than other types
of bats, such as the vampire bat. Rather than preying on animals, the
flying fox eats only fruit. While it once fed mainly on wild fruit, the
bat now increasingly raids cultivated crops of fruit trees, which has
brought it into conflict with man. In some areas it has posed such a
threat to fruit farmers that it has been poisoned. The flying fox is
also hunted in parts of Pakistan for its fat, which is used for medicinal
In the past 50 years, many small oceanic islands have been almost completely
deforested and, as a result, the flying fox populations have experienced
a decline.

Madison, Wisc. (WFRV) – Flights at Dane County Regional Airport in Madison were delayed almost an hour Monday after a 737 Boeing slid off the runway.
It happened at four o'clock in the afternoon as Delta Flight 385 from Minneapolis was taxing to its gate.
Sixty passengers were on board at the time. While no injuries were reported, all had to be bused from the tarmac to the terminals.
The runway was shut down for about an hour, diverting flights and delaying others.

The energy dot plot is an integral part of the folding prediction. Consider the
folding of a short RNA sequence:
using default parameters. kcal/mole at 37, so rather than 5% of . A single, optimal folding is computed. A glance of the energy dot plot , shown in Figure 13, reveals the optimal folding in black dots (symbols), but another set of yellow dots, indicating base pairs in at least 1 other suboptimal folding. The default value of `W' (2, from Table 3) is too large for this other folding to be predicted, but a glance at the dot plot shows that something else is there. When the sequence is refolded with `W'=0, a second, totally different folding is predicted. Figure 14 displays these foldings with individual bases drawn.

March 18, 2013
DeKalb, Ill.--Second-year NIU Law students Anthony Gough and Amanda Wielgus were the winners of the 31st Annual Prize Moot Court Competition held at the NIU College of Law. Gough and Wielgus competed through several rounds of competition over the course of three weekends before achieving victory during the final round of the competition on March 2, 2013.
A number of accomplished judges from the region graciously donated their time to participate in this year's Moot Court Competition. In the semi-final rounds, the competitors were judged by Justice Joseph E. Birkett, Justice Michael J. Burke, Justice Ann Jorgensen, Justice Mary Seminara-Schostock, and Justice Robert Spence, all of the Appellate Court, Second District of Illinois; as well as the Honorable Judith Brawka, Chief Judge of the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit of Illinois.
The final round of arguments were presided over by Magistrate P. Michael Mahoney of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois; the Honorable Michael P. McCuskey, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois; and Michael A. Scodro, Esq., Solicitor General of the Office of the Illinois Attorney General.
During the Moot Court banquet, awards were presented to the championship team of Gough and Wielgus; the runner-up team of Kate Guensburg and Manar Zayed, who also received the Best Respondent's Brief award; and Guensburg received the Best Oralist award.
The NIU College of Law's Prize Moot Court Competition was established as a student organization in 1982 by Associate Dean Leonard Mandell, who will retire as its faculty advisor this year. Dean Mandell has been responsible for the Prize Moot Court competition since its inception, and has seen numerous competitors achieve success in national moot court competitions following their participation in the Prize Moot Court Competition.
The Moot Court Society organizes and runs the competition to further the advancement of appellate advocacy. The Prize Moot Court Competition is open to second-year students and gives them an opportunity to draft briefs and argue cases in a simulated appellate court before panels of moot court judges.

A local goat breeder says she lost four goats to illness that happened after they were fed by well-meaning passersby.
Know Horseplay Farms, in Rock Falls, Illinois, posted July 15, 2014, a simple plea: "Do not feed other people's animals without their permission each and every time."
The animals' owner believed an elderly couple dumped several bags of bread over the pasture fence for the goats. She said she didn't find out about it until nine of her goats were down and sick.
"What happened that fateful day was the perfect storm. I had already fed the goats and then went to work. Two other groups of people then fed the goats again. This all happened within two hours or so. Too much feed in such a short period of time," said a post from Know Horseplay Farms.
"They all have bloat from too much bread," the post read. "I don't think it was poison because the other twenty one goats are fine."
Ultimately, the farm reported four of the goats died. At least two of the dead goats left babies behind. At least two of the sickened goats were babies.
"A few pieces is fine but some of them received loaves!" read a later comment about the incident. Another animal owner commented that people were still feeding their animals over the fence, despite signs that read "Thank you but please don't feed us" signs every six feet along fences.
"Please don't assume you have the right to feed animals that aren't your own. A farm is not a petting zoo," read the post on the Know Horseplay Farms Facebook page.

What To Eat As A Boxer
What is a good diet for a boxer?
A good healthy diet for all boxers has to include carbohydrates, proteins and fats. They are all vital for providing the energy and nutrients that a fighter needs daily.
Calculating Your Dietary Needs
To begin with, here is a quick guide so that anyone at all can roughly calculate their daily dietary needs.
You require approximately 1.3 Calories per hour for every 1Kg (2.2 pound) of your body weight, just to function normally - So if you weigh 65Kg (143 pound), you will require 65 x 1.3 x 24 = 2,028 Calories per day just to remain healthy.
When you exercise/train you require an extra 8.5 Calories per Kg of body weight for every hour you workout. So if you train for two hours per day, you will require an extra 65 x 8.5 x 2 = 1,105 Calories. Making your required calorie intake that day amount to 3133 Calories (2,028 + 1,105)
Some of those calculations can get a wee bit complicated, so i have gathered some calculators together that do the complicated part. Just click on any of the links below, enter your details and they'll do the calculation for you.
BMR Calculator BMI Calculator Body Fat % Calculator Daily Calorie Calculator Maximum Heart Rate Calculator
VO2 Maximum Calculator Daily Energy Calculator WHTR Calculator Your Daily Fat Requirements Calculator

Beibei ZhengBeiBei Zeng is a Doctoral candidate in Electrical Engineering and an Innovator in Nanoplasmonics
Beibei Zeng is a graduate student in Prof. Fil Bartoli's group, and a student member of the Center for Photonics and Nanoelectronics. His current research interests include nanophotonics, plasmonics, nanofabrication, and their applications in photovoltaics, displays, and biosensors. During the past four years, he spent much of his time investigating the extraordinary properties of Surface plasmon resonances (SPRs) in ultrathin nanopatterned metal films. SPRs are collective charge density oscillations induced by an electric field, and can enhance and confine the electromagnetic field within nanoscale dimensions from the metal surface. As the thickness of metal film decreases to be comparable to its skin depth (optically-thin), two single-interface SPRs on the top and bottom metal surfaces combine to form coupled SPRs, which exhibit extraordinary optical phenomena. He has explored the potential of SPRs in ultrathin nanopatterned metal films for different practical applications, achieving superior performances compared with their optically-thick counterparts in plasmonic-enhanced photovoltaics, color filters and biosensing. In his research, he has made major contributions in these areas by elucidating underlying physical mechanisms of SPRs in ultrathin nanostructured metals and tailoring them for different niche applications.
Beibei has published articles in internationally renowned journals such as Nature: Scientific Reports, Journal Applied Physics, Lab on a chip, and Optical Communications, and his work has been widely reported in different media. He has presented his research in invited seminars at the Zhejiang University's Department of Electrical Engineering, China, and the Chongqing Institute of Green and Intelligent Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2014. Beibei holds a number of patents, and has also served as an active reviewer for over 15 leading journals, including Nature: Scientific Reports, Applied Physics Letters, Optics Express, Optics Letters, Applied Optics, JOSA A, Organic Electronics, Nanotechnology, IEEE JSTQE, IEEE Photonics Journal, IEEE PTL, Journal of Physics D, etc.
He earned a B.S. in mechanical science and engineering in 2007 from Jilin University, one of the top science and engineering schools in China, where he was awarded various prizes and scholarships for excellent academic performance. From Jilin Univ., he went to Chengdu, where he earned a master's degree in 2010 from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Optics and Electronics.
In Beibei's most recent article, which was coauthored by Professor Bartoli and published by Scientific Reports, a publication of the Nature group, he reported that the ultrathin nanostructured metals have more than doubled the transmission efficiency of plasmonic color filters, indicating a greater potential role for plasmonics in future display technologies. While currently exploring applications of this work, he is also investigating novel nanoplasmonic structures to probe biological cells and biomolecules, for applications in biosensing and biomedicine.

We had this 5D Mark III for about a month now which we borrowed from Canon Philippines. It came along with the EF 24mm f/1.4L lens and,frankly, we didn't even want to give it back.
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III was announced back in March and then released in the Philippines the following month. It replaces the highly popular 5D Mark II. It has been around the market for some time but the high-end profile and the price tag still makes it an elusive camera to many folks.
The dSLR uses the new DIGIC 5+ image processor (which is said to be 17x faster than DIGIC 4 of the Mark II). The 5D Mark III is capable of incredible ISO speeds of up to 25600 (expandable to L:50, H1: 51200, H2: 102400).
A newly expanded 61-point Auto-Focus (AF) system makes it easier to track subjects with higher levels of precision and speed. You will definitely notice this once you grab a hold of the camera and start shooting.
I've had the Canon 7D for about two years now and the 5D Mark III looks just the same but you will definitely see and feel the solid body, the heft and premium build of the latter.
The design is very familiar if you've been using a Canon dSLR for some time now. There are a few noticeable differences though — like the settings knob which requires you to press a small lock button at the center before you can dial to a setting, the slightly larger LCD display, the headphone out to monitor audio, and the dual-card slot (supports CF cards and SD cards at the same time).
Our friend and Geeky Nights co-host, Victor Basa, volunteered to take most of the shots we posted on the gallery below (some of the local shots are mine but the others were taken in Paris).
(Some of the shots were taken with the EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM and EF 24mm f/1.4L)
One of the most impressive capabilities of the 5D Mark III is its high-ISO quality. Both stills and video clips looked more refined and has much less noise (you don't even see it in our sample clip below).
Canon EOS 5D Mark III – High ISO Test Footage from v.basa on Vimeo.
The footage above as shot at ISO 12800. Looks pretty clean, right?
Canon 5D Mark III specs:
22.3MP full-size CMOS sensor
DIGIC 5+ processor
up to 6fps shooting speed
61-point autofocusing system (up to 41 cross-type points)
ISO 100 to 25,600 (expandable to 102,400)
1/8000sec. to 30sec., bulb shutter speed
1080p video recording
3.2″ LCD display @ 1MP
CF card (Type I, UDMA mode 7-compatible), SD memory card, SDHC memory card, SDXC memory card
RAW Burst 13fps, JPEG 65fps, RAW+JPEG 7fps
The 5D Mark 3 won the TIPA Best Video dSLR category this year.
The suggested retail price of the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is Php169,998 for the body only and goes up to Php219,998 with the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM kit lens. The EF 24mm f/1.4L we used has a suggested retail price of Php89,998.

1 tablespoon
onion powder
1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon
smoked paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons
ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons
ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon
garlic powder
1 teaspoon
dried oregano
1 teaspoon
dried thyme
1 teaspoon
brown sugar
1 (4 pound)
whole chicken, rinsed and dried
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil, or more as needed
1/2 (12 ounce) can
beer (such as Budweiser®)
Always remember when making beer chicken to place a small wad of foil or small red potato over neck so that the chicken steams & stays moist inside. I'm not a beer fan. I put 8 oz. of ckn broth in empty 16 oz beer can with spices of choice. The taller can is a little more sturdy. Less chance of tipping over!
Don't cook it on medium, we TORCHED it...was the mistake putting the lid down? We googled how to do it because this recipe didn't clarify and all of them said to put the lid down. It was charcoal! Wish we could have enjoyed it :-(

what a way to spend New Years Eve in snow covered Milton Indiana~~good really will make again used suggestion on using 16 oz can & onion to cover the hole in the neck delicious shared on my facebook page~~
Great rub. My new go to for chicken,pork and ribs . The chicken was outstanding , I added an onion in the chicken neck.
Wonderful! Brined the chicken first overnight in fridge. I took your rub recipe and mixed with 1 and 1/2 sticks of room temp. real butter. Let that sit to instill seasonings. Put this mixture in between skin and chicken breast and then covered all of chicken.Put lemon and onion in chicken cavity. Also put hickory chips on in to smoke as it grilled. Used indirect grilling method. Put foil pan under chicken below grate to catch melted butter so it won't flame. Make sure lid is on to control temp. Flavorful and juicy!!
Very good rub! I opened the beer and pored out about an ounce. I personally set the grill to high for the first 10-15 mins to ensure crispy skin. Then I turned down to 350 until it hits 160 degrees. It came out tender and delicious! The smoky paprika with the tinge of heat and sweet is great! Remember to rest for 5 mins to redistribute the juices and your bird will come up to 165 degrees. Perfect!
This is our Go-To recipe for beer can chicken!! Turns out great every time. I put a pie pan under the chicken while it is on the BBQ to catch drippings and prevent over browning.
I made this last night and it was so moist and delicious !! I will make this again! Thank you for the great recipe :-)

Thank you for covering hockey Eleven Warriors!!!!
I didn't notice Wilson until you pointed it out. However, that is quite a hustle play on his part. He was actually running to make a block on the guy coming from the left. After he noticed he was not going to catch Devin, he let up and "airplaned" into the endzone. Pretty awesome seeing a guy work that hard to get a block.

As a long time hockey fan, I THANK YOU for adding hockey to your coverage. I appreciate your efforts in being the best in Buckeye coverage!!
