Ball Aerospace Completes Assembly And Integration On NPP
Ball Aerospace & Technologies has completed assembly and integration of the spacecraft for the National Polar-orbiting Operational Satellite System (NPOESS) Preparatory Project (NPP).
Spacecraft performance testing is completed, and environmental testing, including vibration and thermal vacuum, have begun.
NPP, the mission precursor for NPOESS, has a twofold purpose: it will provide data continuity between the Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra and Aqua missions and NPOESS, and provide technical risk reduction for NPOESS.
Under contract to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to provide the spacecraft, Ball Aerospace will deliver a modified Ball Aerospace Commercial Platform (BCP 2000), and perform integration of the government-furnished instruments and satellite-level testing.
Ball Aerospace is also providing one of four instruments selected for the flight, the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS).
"We are on target to meet NPP's aggressive schedule and cost profile with bus completion by March 2005, followed by instrument integration during the summer of 2005," said Don Hood, NPP program manager.
"Our past experience in building the BCP 2000 has allowed us to successfully meet schedule and perform to expectations."
The BCP 2000 is part of a line of spacecraft built by Ball Aerospace that can accommodate Earth-sensing instrumentation requiring precision pointing control while maintaining the flexibility needed for rapid target selection.
Several BCP 2000s are currently operating on-orbit, including NASA's Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT), ICESat, the Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite and DigitalGlobe's Quickbird satellite. In addition, the Ball Aerospace-built bus will be employed on NASA's CloudSat satellite, scheduled to launch later this year.
OMPS is the next-generation ozone monitoring system designed to collect total column and vertical profile ozone data and continue the daily global data produced by the current ozone monitoring systems, the Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet radiometer (SBUV)/2, built by Ball Aerospace for NOAA POES spacecraft and Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), built by Ball Aerospace for Nimbus 7.
The NPP is a joint effort of the NPOESS Integrated Program Office, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and NASA. Scheduled to launch in 2006, NPP will be in orbit prior to the expected end-of-life of EOS Aqua and provide overlap with the NPOESS spacecraft.

I've had one of these boot dryers in the condo at Mammoth for 10? years... A long long time anyway.
When I set up the place for Crystal Mountain it was the first item on my get ready list.
gets the boots warm and dry over night, quiet and effective... When we have more people than space on the dryer, its always a "game" to see who gets the good place and who has to use the second best portable dryers.

FinCEN Issues Final Rule on Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts Report (FBAR) Responsibilities
VIENNA, Va. - The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) today issued a rule that amends the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) implementing regulations regarding the Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR). The FBAR filing requirements, authorized under one of the original provisions of the BSA, have been in place since 1972. The FBAR form is used to report a financial interest in, or signature or other authority over, one or more financial accounts in foreign countries. No report is required if the aggregate value of the accounts does not exceed $10,000.
On February 26, 2010, FinCEN issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) addressing the FBAR rules. The final rule adopts the proposed changes with slight modifications. The preamble to the final rule explains FinCEN's approach to issues raised in comments submitted in response to the NPRM from tax professionals and industry experts. The preamble to the final rule:
The rule as published in the Federal Register is available on www.FinCEN.gov. The IRS will soon publish instructions for completing the FBAR form.
F inCEN's mission is to enhance U.S. national security, deter and detect criminal activity, and safeguard financial systems from abuse by promoting transparency in the U.S. and international financial systems.

RCORDER(8) MidnightBSD System Manager's Manual RCORDER(8)
rcorder — print a dependency ordering of interdependent files
rcorder [−k keep] [−s skip] [−o keyword] [−p] file ...
The rcorder utility is designed to print out a dependency ordering of a set of interdependent files. Typically it is used to find an execution sequence for a set of shell scripts in which certain files must be executed before others.
Each file passed to rcorder must be annotated with special lines (which look like comments to the shell) which indicate the dependencies the files have upon certain points in the sequence, known as ''conditions'', and which indicate, for each file, which ''conditions'' may be expected to be filled by that file.
Within each file, a block containing a series of ''REQUIRE'', ''PROVIDE'', ''BEFORE'' and ''KEYWORD'' lines must appear. The format of the lines is rigid. Each line must begin with a single '#', followed by a single space, followed by ''PROVIDE:'', ''REQUIRE:'', ''BEFORE:'', or ''KEYWORD:''. No deviation is permitted. Each dependency line is then followed by a series of conditions, separated by whitespace. Multiple ''PROVIDE'', ''REQUIRE'', ''BEFORE'' and ''KEYWORD'' lines may appear, but all such lines must appear in a sequence without any intervening lines, as once a line that does not follow the format is reached, parsing stops.
The options are as follows:
Add the specified keyword to the ''keep list''. If any −k option is given, only those files containing the matching keyword are listed.
Add the specified keyword to the ''skip list''. If any −s option is given, files containing the matching keyword are not listed.
Generate the dependancy list required to execute matching the keyword.
Generates the PROVIDE keywords for the specified files.
An example block follows:
# REQUIRE: networking
# REQUIRE: usr
# PROVIDE: dns nscd
This block states that the file in which it appears depends upon the ''networking'', ''syslog'', and ''usr'' conditions, and provides the ''dns'' and ''nscd'' conditions.
A file may contain zero ''PROVIDE'' lines, in which case it provides no conditions, and may contain zero ''REQUIRE'' lines, in which case it has no dependencies. There must be at least one file with no dependencies in the set of arguments passed to rcorder in order for it to find a starting place in the dependency ordering.
The rcorder utility may print one of the following error messages and exit with a non-zero status if it encounters an error while processing the file list.
Requirement %s has no providers, aborting. No file has a ''PROVIDE'' line corresponding to a condition present in a ''REQUIRE'' line in another file.
Circular dependency on provision %s, aborting. A set of files has a circular dependency which was detected while processing the stated condition.
Circular dependency on file %s, aborting. A set of files has a circular dependency which was detected while processing the stated file.
The rcorder utility first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.
The −o and −p options were added from DragonFly 1.0.

The lede to this column is a deep groan that originates in the throat and expands into the lungs before collapsing in the pit of the stomach. How do you spell "hmmmgrrrungh"?
What else is there to say about House Republicans' inability to get something right? And I say this with compassion, I really do. Because seriously? It's over. Done. Kaput. With Kevin McCarthy's recent response to the simplest question about Republican accomplishments in Congress — from Sean Hannity, the friendliest interviewer a Republican could hope for — the future may as well be called "Democratic."
When it comes to tackling complicated legal issues, one would be hard-pressed to conjure a less likely partnership than Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz and Baylor University President Ken Starr.
Well, OK, there was the David Boies and Ted Olson confederacy fighting for gay marriage rights after they took opposite sides during the 2000 Bush-Gore election dispute. Still, witnessing Dershowitz and Starr discuss and largely agree on religious liberty issues raised by the case popularly known as Hobby Lobby was pleasantly jarring.
There's nothing quite so helpful as a fatwa and threats of a Christian boycott to create buzz in advance of a new movie.
"Noah," scheduled for its U.S. release March 28, has become such a target. The United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain have banned the movie because it depicts a prophet, which, as Danish cartoonists will attest, isn't the peachiest of ideas in certain circles.
President Obama's new outreach initiative to help at-risk boys of color — "My Brother's Keeper" — is cause for cheer.
It isn't that we haven't known for some time that minority boys are in trouble. Poor school performance, truancy, delinquency and, ultimately, high incarceration rates cannot be separated from the absence of fathers in many homes. Out-of-wedlock births are at 72 percent in the African-American community and 53 percent among Latinos, compared with 29 percent among non-Hispanic whites.
Given some of the reactions to Bobby Jindal's off-script remarks Monday, you'd think he'd been caught with a mirror on his shoe in the ladies' restroom.
No, it was much worse than that.
Hide the children. He defied protocol!
In town for the National Governors Association winter meeting, Jindal joined other state chief executives in front of the White House after a meeting with the president. Taking the microphone, Jindal said among other things that "the Obama economy is now the minimum-wage economy" and the president is "waving the white flag of surrender."
Republicans have excelled at concealing their brilliance in recent years, and Democrats have exulted in their good fortune.
Whether discussing women's reproductive systems or offering up candidates who are not electable — "I am not a witch" might have been a tipoff — Republicans couldn't stop handing gifts to their opponents. As for tactics, a GOP Trojan horse is . . . a horse. And an Orca project is a whale-fishing expedition.
America's capacity for optimism and hope has been boundless through much of our short history.
The tangible returns of hard work, the ordered liberty sustained through community consent and opportunity honed over time to apply equally to all men and women — these were the currency of what we called the American Dream.
Essential to these achievements was courage. The Founding Fathers were, above all, courageous as they challenged a king, fought and died for freedom and created a country from scratch with little more than mettle and intellectual vigor.
If you peruse the news on any given day, the farm bill/food stamp debate produces two general impressions: Republicans are heartless turkey thieves; Democrats are spendthrift welfare caterers. If only neither were a little bit right.
Let's recap: If you like your insurance policy, you can keep it. No, wait. If you liked your policy, it was probably worthless anyway. Scratch that. If your junk policy was canceled and you still want it, you can keep it. Er, get it back.
Children, children.
Here we are in the midst of a bloody clash in Egypt, more than 100,000 slaughtered in Syria, another looming debt crisis at home, and we're consumed with angst over a rodeo clown who wore an Obama mask and invited the crowd to cheer for the bulls.
Redemption is in the air, we keep hearing. Americans don't care about a person's sex life because, well, they have one, too, and, hey, we all have weeds in our garden.
Indeed we do, but not all sins are created equal. And though we are quick to forgive the repentant — and do believe in second chances — we also seem to apply different standards to men and women.

Father MC
Father MC was a popular African American rapper for the Uptown Records label in the early 1990s. Discovered and signed by then-Uptown executive Sean "Puffy" Combs, he is best known for introducing the public to Uptown's successful R&B act Jodeci. Father MC straddled the line between hip-hop and new jack swing, which resulted in a number 20 hit, "I'll Do 4 U," from his debut album Father's Day in 1990. Nearly two years after his debut, Father MC followed with "Close to You". Its success was almost guaranteed by Father MC's appearance on the CD Uptown MTV Unplugged.

MacLeod, USA TODAY
A car veered off the road and into Tiananmen Square and killed five people and injured dozens.
An official investigation is underway, reported Xinhua, the state news agency. The unusual nature of the incident, and the way the vehicle had been driven some distance along the sidewalk, injuring and scattering pedestrians, quickly led to speculation online that the vehicle was used in a deliberate attack.
Photos posted online showed the vehicle ablaze beside the historic bridges that lead visitors under the famous portrait of Chairman Mao and into the Forbidden City, the former residence of China's emperors.
Tiananmen Square is not only a big tourist draw but also the political heart of China, and therefore one of the most sensitive areas in the country. Leaders of the ruling Communist Party live and work nearby. Major party and government events take place at the adjacent Great Hall of the People, where a national women's congress was underway Monday.
Most famous abroad for the 1989 democracy protests, put down by force, the square still draws occasional and isolated protests that are quickly snuffed out by uniformed and plainclothes security officers who patrol the square and its environs.

When John Wall was still a teenager, he asked his mother whether he could get a portrait of his late father, John Carroll Wall, tattooed on his chest. His mother said no.
So Wall decided he would wait. Before his rookie season in Washington, the Wizards point guard told The Post's Michael Lee that if he ever got a tattoo, it would probably be of his father, on his chest. He said the same thing to The Post's Eric Prisbell:
Wall has declined to get tattoos because of concerns over his image for marketing reasons, but he is considering getting one on his chest, considering it strongly enough that he has a specific design in mind. It would be of his dad's face, with clouds surrounding, and the words "Forever Living On."
Of course, Wall began getting tattoos last summer. He got a star in the middle of his chest, and a tribute to his mother above one breast. He got the words "Great Wall" — made out of bricks — on his back, and has gotten various other ink on his torso and legs.
This offseason, though, he finally got the tattoo of his father on his chest, the one image he had repeatedly talked about before entering the NBA, and before getting his first tattoo.
"And now I'm happy," Wall told Lee last month in Las Vegas. "I got my mom, my sisters on my mom's side, and my dad. I got everybody around my heart that I care about."
Wall got the tattoo of his father a few days before he went to Vegas for Team USA tryouts. He said it took longer than expected to finally get that image because he had to bring a hard copy of his father's portrait to his tattoo artist, the Georgia-based Randy Harris of Tattoos by Randy.
The tattoo took four or five hours to complete; about two hours on each face. Wall said he just listened to music while Harris worked.
"You got to make it so perfect, because any little mistake could mess it up and then you'll be like, 'Now I got to get it removed.' " Wall told Lee. "I was sitting back and letting him be as focused as he could be on there."
Wall's chest tattoos were photographed by Bruce Ely, a Portland-based photographer who specializes in sports photography. The Wall shoot was part of a project in which Ely is documenting tattoos in the NBA; you can see more at his Web site and on his blog.

Candy Crush Saga Level 323
Walkthrough video and a tip in order to beat Candy Crush Level 323
Patricia Frederick's Tips for Candy Crush Level 323
Try to match and use as many of the mystery candies as you can–there are color bombs, wrapped and striped hiding in there (as well as chocolate and bombs so beware). Striped/wrapped combos and even just striped candy matches should enable you to clear the jellies here.
Also a new video is needed as well as a screenshot and there isn't a strategy/points section for this level either.
Other Candy Crush Level 323 Tips
Its another classic level that is MUCH easier on PC. So connect your device with Facebook and play it on PC
dianne July 31, 2015
Always love the tips here. Helpful plus perseverance is the answer!
Lyn Sedgwick May 25, 2014
I have been stuck on this level for 2 weeks. So far I have never bought anything to help, but this week I bought 2 hours of playing, in the hope to pass this level. I still could not pass, although I came close a few times. Pure frustration. When I'm down to clearing 3/4 jellies, the game gives me candies that can only be matched on the already cleared areas. Definitely rigged.. I will give it a few more tries – if I don't pass this level by then, I will quite Candy Crush, as it's not fun anymore.
aemom May 4, 2014
I played this level countless times using different strategies. I finally decided to go for broke. I started the level with a color bomb and a jelly fish that I had won on the daily wheel. I kept resetting the board until the color bomb would be beside a striped candy that I could set up on the first move. That helped a lot. Also the jellyfish candies that you use from the wheel will return so you get 6 jellies that way too. I was finally able to finish. I never got any other special candies except for another jellyfish in a mystery candy and 1 or 2 striped.
samejohn April 30, 2014
I'm just about over this purely luck-dependent level; not much fun in going into a game pretty much knowing you're going to lose.
Kate GS April 8, 2014
This level is awful!!! I even had two color bombs TOGETHER after a couple of stripe/wrap combos and that still wasn't enough. AAAAARRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate GS April 8, 2014
It never fails…the instant I start to go bonkers over a level, I pass it. a stripe/color bomb finally did it for me.
Margaret February 25, 2014
Ina, Look at Jay Jay's tips. I have discovered through those that if you concentrate on the stripes and not on the jellies, it will work better. I didn't read these tips until I was down to 2 lives, but both those games I was only one jelly short. Much improvement over my previous plays. Good luck!
Ina February 25, 2014
Thanks Margaret…I did read all the tips and Jay jays as well. I was just chatting with my daughter on the phone and played a game after we hung up..lo and behold, I ended with one move and one jelly and couldn't get to it no matter what..so I used my last lollipop and passed. I got one stripe/wrapped and one colorbomb/stripe which really helped. It was an evil level I'm glad I'm beyond. I love the game and didn't want to quit but this level would have done it for me…lol I always read everyone's tips and watch the video although they are all unrealistic. No one gets boards like these videos get and I just watch them to see the level played. I'm sure there will be other evil ones ahead. Thanks for the tip and encouragement..sometimes you just need that. So many of my FB friends have quit earlier on on the tougher levels. Thanks again…I appreciate it.
Margaret February 27, 2014
Maybe I will have your luck b/c I'm still stuck!!!! I will keep on trying though. It gives my mind a nice break at lunch……….then back to work. Have a blessed day, Ina.
Ina February 24, 2014
As usual, no response ever from candy crush or crushing candy. Just played another 5 games on iPad. Had 3 jellies left and refused to buy extra moves with no guarantee I'll crush it with the way the candies move in the blocks. Already got sucked into lollipops. I so do not want to quit but this level is too much. Will play until I am either out of saved daily boosters no matter how useless the ones I get are and the fact you have to activate at start of level. Just seems no matter how close you get or think you are in getting passed this level…it's not close enough…so I rant on here and truthfully I don't think anyone pays attention.
Ina February 23, 2014
I think I have a better chance at winning the lottery than passing this level. Can't even get close most games..maybe down to 6 a time or two. The surprise candies are hard to get and are more often than not, at least for me, blocks or chocolate and a bomb or two. Never got a color bomb once. When I used a color bomb I got on the daily spin..I couldn't get it even close to a stripe even using the ipad or iphone where I could roll over the game looking for a decent board. I think candy crush made this a lot more frustrating by not giving us enough moves and double jellies. Besides that, the daily spin is wonderful except I get the same thing over and over…seldom, if ever, a lollipop and never a jackpot. Sometimes it looks like it will be a jackpot, I get excited and then it very slowly rolls to the next booster to avoid it. I never expected to get this far in the game and it seems that as these level progress to such difficulty and gives no hope of passing…there will be one that will stop me cold. This one is already making me feel that way. Makes me sad…I love this game.
Ina February 23, 2014
No wonder they call 323 the Number 1 evilest level in January…That's because it is!!!!

After playing all day and yes..taking breaks. I'm really beginning to hate this game. The video is a joke and it's impossible to make combos to help. Some of those blocks under a mystery candy you have to waste 6 moves if you need to get rid of it. This level is ridiculous and not worth the anxiety and frustration. Finding it on other king games as well. When I've used up the boosters on all 3 devices..since I was stupid enough to pay for some…I'll be done. I can't be all that bad a player to get this far. I hope candy crush realizes they are chasing their players away.
scoopy February 10, 2014
This level proved to be quite impossible. After several days of trying I started a round with activating all free boosters there are.
On the first move I (luckily) could create a striped candy which landed next to the color bomb. Combining those left me with only 10 jellys more to take care of. Has been a piece of cake from there.
Jay jay February 5, 2014
It took me over 3 weeks, but I finally beat Level 323. My winning game used one Chocolate Bomb and three striped/wrapped combo candies. The game is mostly luck, but there are still things you can do to sure you win when you get that winning layout: Play as if the goal is collecting striped and wrapped candies and making combos with them – the jelly will take of itself. Favor vertical moves over horizontal to maximize the cascade effect. Work all four boxes to keep everything lively. Open every Mystery Egg since they are often helpful. Lastly, if you can exit out of a game before you make any moves without losing a life, only play games with layouts you like, such as games with easy to make four-in-a-row combinations. This game is winnable without extra help, but does require some patience.

Thanks for sharing Jay Jay and great tip! Good luck
Valerie March 20, 2014
I have been on level 323 for a couple weeks and finally broke down and made the 5 extra moves and 3 hammer purchase for .99. Because I had only 3 jellies left and was totally frustrated with it after getting close numerous times. After confirming purchase the window would not exit off the screen and I could see the moves and hammer but could not see the screen to make the moves. Finally after trying everything I could think to do to get the message to close, I had to exit out and when I went right back in I had no moves and no hammers and was where I was before purchase. I want to know what I need to do to not be charged for this purchase and I probably will never purchase anything else from this game. Utterly ridiculous. As if this level isn't bad enough, I get ripped off and still haven't passed it…thanks in advance for a reply to me.

Your welcome, glad we can help
Andrea January 30, 2014
I have been on 323 since New Year's Day.
In a few days on February 1st I am quitting.
One month is too long I like to play in the
evenings while watching TV to relax
and unwind. This level is so frustrating
that it no longer is relaxing. I hate to do it but
will have to quit.
JanC January 21, 2014
just chiming in to say that i just passed it on my iphone after countless lives: one star & glad to get it! geez louise, a tough one indeed!
CrushingCandies.com January 21, 2014
Well done Jan!!
C January 21, 2014
I've been 2 away twice and the game shut down on me. See that this is a glitch! Anyone else still having this problem? Lost 2 lives. Only play on I-Phone.
CrushingCandies.com January 21, 2014
We've had this problem ourselves C! Unfortunately this happens more often then we would have liked and particularly on iPhones – however hopefully King gets this little issue sorted our sooner rather then later
Paola January 17, 2014
The only way to get through this level is with chocolate candy+ Striped candy, that's how i did it
CrushingCandies.com January 17, 2014
Thanks for the sweet tip Paola!
Merrilee January 12, 2014
After many tries on both my IPad and PC with NO luck, not even close, I tried it on my Kindle. Woo Hoo, all four boxes cascaded with every move, and although it froze up and kicked me out twice just as I was going to hit the final jelly, on the next try I was successful. I think I'd still be working on it on my iPad! Thanks for all your input, Patricia!
Merri Lebo January 16, 2014
How do you get this game on a Kindle? These paths do no roll like they do in
the video.
CrushingCandies.com January 17, 2014
Each game is different to the last, so no level will be exactly the same as our video. But if you use the tips provided here, you'll have more of a chance and beating this level! Good Luck
Marty January 2, 2014
I've been trying to pass this for 2 weeks on andriod app, switched to PC and got it after 4 attempts.
Had multiple candy wraps/stripe combos, but kept hitting same areas, then on 4th go I got lucky and hit a double bomb made it easier to complete – dunno how I managed it but PC seems to be easier (for this level anyways). completed with 3 moves to spare….scary
CrushingCandies.com January 3, 2014
That's a very close call Marty, so Congrats! And thanks for tip, sometimes switching between devices really does help
Anton December 30, 2013
they have changed the level. It's impossible now. If anyone has tips to beat it, please tell me.
CrushingCandies.com January 9, 2014
Have you watched our walkthrough video? Plus you should playing this level on your mobile or tablet to see what results you get there
CrushingCandies.com January 13, 2014
The daily booster wheel has been a great help!! Well done 😀
gerorin December 27, 2013
If you use a booster, say a chocolate bomb, will it disappear if you roll the board? As in keep entering and exiting the level until you think you find a seemingly preferable board? Or will you lose the booster when you do that?
Sherry February 3, 2014
All boosters are only good for one game on one board, if you choose it before you start the game.
SummerCandyQueen December 27, 2013
It took a while for me to work out a tactic for this level but when I worked it out, it took me 3 tries to pass it.
I passed it with 3 moves to go, one of my free candy hammers (I won it on the spinning wheel) and without paying for anything.
I only used my hammer because I could. It was on my last Jelly. I still could've gotten it completed without it.
Firstly, use the spinning wheel to gather as many free items as you can.
The tactic of this game is simple. You stick to the bottom right and top left hand boxes primarily to get the candies moving, and only use the other boxes when you get good combinations. You stick to columns in which you try to make vertical color combinations etc to get the candies moving down.
By doing it using the columns (primarily the middle ones) you will start to get combinations of special candies, including candy bombs, fish, stripped candies, wrapped candies. The color bombs are incredibly useful.
Keep in mind, that every level of candy crush is passable. There are always tactics to the games that once you work out what works best, that tactic will usually get you through the level.
CrushingCandies.com January 8, 2014
Great enthusiasm Summer! And thanks for that fab tip!!
Judy December 21, 2013
I am trying to play level 323 and there is definitely something very wrong. Twice the level has frozen, twice more it has stopped and put me back to my main page( lost that game) had to start over and now it continued to cascade for over five minutes until I gave up, closed completely down and rebooted. Can I get a fix for this level on my IPad?? Can't skip the level and move on, so now what?? I don't have another unit of any kind, am I finished or is there a fix coming for IPad?? Thanks.
weazzy December 18, 2013
My lines do not all fall at the same time..What is up with that
CrushingCandies.com December 18, 2013
Try switching devices to see whether you experience the same problems or not. If it persists then please send a message to King http://about.king.com/support/ccs
Nick December 15, 2013
This level seems to be genuinely impossible now that the portals are gone…
CrushingCandies.com December 16, 2013
Keep up the good work Nick, you've made it this far so you can definitely beat it!
CCERfornow November 29, 2013
I think there are patterns to how the columns move. If you do a vertical move in one column, sometimes it starts a chaotic cascade, but sometimes it moves only one other column. I've been watching and think that the columns are in 8 pairs. Move something in one, the other one moves.
I named the four big blocks as 1, 2, 3 and 4 being top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right and then each column within a block from left to right and create a two digit number for each column in each block. For instance, 32 is the second column in the lower left block. 23 is the third column in the upper right block.
I am fairly sure of the following pairs:
11/22 (ie, move something in first column upper left and it will also move 2nd column upper right)
13/32 (third column upper left, second column lower left)
I am at maybe on 14/21
And somehow, it works both ways. If you move something in 43 it moves 12. If you move something in 12, it moves 43. I'm not sure how that's possible because they both can't be underneath each other, but it seems to work when initiating a move.
Does it matter? With so many cascades it's impossible to predict every combination once the move starts. But I have referred to my list several times when I need to shake something up in an area. I was down to one square with no matches in that whole block. So I went to the "sister" column of the square and moved something there or something nearby. I had 4-5 shots at it, and moving the sister column kept the candies moving in around and through the last square. I didn't get a match, but I did get 4-5 opportunities.
Finally, first level where I've run into a glitch. This level has frozen twice, and then CC simply shuts down. Sadly, one of these was during the Sugar Crush after I'd beaten the dang level. When I restarted, it did not show the level as complete. But I've been within one or two a few times since, so I know it's just a matter of getting lucky and using the sister columns when one of the blocks is "dead" and I need to shake up that area.
CrushingCandies.com December 2, 2013
Thanks for the helpful tip! It is annoying when the game shuts down occasionally, but good luck and hopefully you complete it sooner rather than later!
Christin November 21, 2013

I feel you ! Keep cool and keep trying!!!
mlwstuff October 12, 2013
So … I am on an infinite loop and have watched this quite awhile. I'll have to quit it soon. There is a pattern, but each column goes to a different box and different column – always the same way, but pretty bizarre. I don't think it helps in strategy to use the pattern, however. Too hard to track.
CrushingCandies.com October 15, 2013
I feel you, its tough! Please read all the conversation and tips about this level, it will definitely help you! Keep trying, don't give up!
Joni October 20, 2013
I have had two games where they candies would not stop dropping on PC.
mlwstuff October 12, 2013
I'm playing this on my pc – first attempt. Fun to watch the candies drop and try to figure out the sequence. However, I must have hit a glitch, because the candies have been dropping for about five minutes now – and don't look like they are going to quit any time soon. I may have to abort this try. Anybody else had this happen?
Rejeanne Paulin November 29, 2013
yes I got that as well and had to quit twice
CrushingCandies.com December 2, 2013
Could be a technical glitch, if it does it again then i would suggest reporting it to King http://about.king.com/support/ccs

CrushingCandies.com September 10, 2013
luck is always welcome when speaking of Candy Crush, isn't it?
Lei August 24, 2013
After i updated my candy crush, this level became very fun! The candies continuously fall thru.
I just made combinations in the lower left and right box. But i was watching for good combinations in the upper boxes in my every move. I stopped and check after every move. If you see good combinations go for it. Do not wait for more better moves because once you move one candy everything starts falling everywhere.
Good luck everyone! -LEI
Rejeanne Paulin November 29, 2013
How do you update Candy Crush
CrushingCandies.com December 2, 2013
Android users got an update of another 45 levels just a few days ago and it seems that King has also added a Dreamworld feature that hosts 65 levels. So crushers can look forward to that sometime this week. Hopefully this helps but we are still waiting for more updates
Aimey August 24, 2013
I was able to complete this level on my iPhone in 4 tries, no need to play on PC. I did follow the steps above, clearing out the two bottom boxes and then going for the two top boxes. I also used wrapped and striped candies….
Thanks for the tips!
CrushingCandies.com August 27, 2013
Thanks for the positive feedback Dear! Keep crushing!
Hans July 21, 2013
Looks like things have reversed. Now you better play it on Ipad or Android instead of the PC.
Kitty June 27, 2013
It's just made my iPhone screen frozen lot the second time so I'm done playing in iPhone.
Pam June 2, 2013
You have to do this on a PC. Then when playing on the PC, concentrate only on the two bottom boxes – even if there are switching options in the top two boxes – until the very end. It only took me a few rounds when I did this to complete the level. Each of those two boxes cause a cascading effect with the other 3, letting you match candies multiple times in each box each switch you make there.
candy June 10, 2013
thank you for your tips pam!
Lana June 11, 2013
This tip worked on my iPad!

concrete serving plateby Jordan Castro
Community Voted
- the story
Tray Chic
This high design serving tray takes modern styling down a whole new road. The base is crafted from a special concrete that offers a smooth-to-the-touch surface like stoneware, but with unique visual detailing. Each base is cast in a handmade mold, cured for a week, and then hand-finished and given two coats of carnauba wax. That is topped with a stainless steel panel that provides a sleek serving surface for your canapés or cheese selection. The steel is held securely in place by ten magnets sealed within the base itself. The base has rounded contours that are comfortable in the hands, and open space beneath the metal platter to minimize its weight. The piece is stylish enough to be left in use on your bar or buffet, but practical enough to be used in table service. Stainless steel platter is machine washable. Handmade in Plum Island, Massachusetts.

The Culinarium product line is the manifestation of Jordan Castro's to create beautiful and meticulously crafted, hand-made products for cooking and entertaining.
Before starting Culinarium, Jordan had a business, which produced sculptural and architectural pre-cast concrete elements. While working on larger scale projects, he always wanted to develop a concrete mix that would be sophisticated enough to be used for much more diminutive and detailed wares like those that are now created at Culinarium. It took Jordan almost ten years of testing and tweaking to develop the mix that is now used. Indeed, it took a long time to develop the processes that is now employed, but as far as he is concerned, it was worth the wait!
Jordan has been working hard to produce concrete products that are durable, functional, and beautiful. He believes the heart & soul of any house is the kitchen, and enjoys bringing practical solutions to the home, which is what led him to design and craft Culinarium Kitchenware.

Local mom and baker extraordinaire, Michelle Jaffee, has opened Sweet & Simple in the Greenfield Hill shopping center (triangle between Hillside and Bronson Roads). When I stopped in Saturday morning to check things out, clearly the word was already out! Doughnut Muffins were a popular item that morning, as were the Caramel Sea Salt Brownies (rich and delicious). Also on offer were oatmeal raisin and beautiful icebox cookies in the shape of Valentine's hearts. Anticipating the crowds, the ovens were fired up and baking away. In addition to cookies, bars, and muffins, Sweet & Simple has cakes, cupcakes, bundt cakes, pound cakes, scones, granola, hot and cold beverages, sandwiches, and salads.
Greenfield Hill neighbors will rejoice to have a bakery right in their neighborhood, but it's only a few minutes away for the rest of us, and worth the trip!

To link to this article, copy this persistent link:
(Mar 13, 2009) On March 5, 2009, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) extended through May 2009 a ban on covered short selling of financial securities. The ASIC had announced on January 21, 2009, that the ban would be effective only until March 6. The main features of the ban are:
- covered short selling of financial securities is banned;
- covered short selling of non-financial securities remains permitted;
- the daily reporting of gross short sales will continue, as will the publication to the market of aggregate short sales the day after trading; and
- naked short selling is completely banned.
The decision to extend the ban was based on the ASIC assessment of the volatility of world financial markets in which overly aggressive practices could cause a great deal of damage. The Commission will continue to monitor how the ban is implemented and whether market conditions justify its continuation. (ASIC Extends Ban on Covered Short Selling of Financial Securities, FINDLAW AUSTRALIA LEGAL NEWS, Mar. 10, 2009, available at http://www.findlaw.com.au/news/default.asp?task=read&id=32529&newstype
Some investors have been critical of the ASIC policy, claiming it forces short sellers to focus on the portion of the market not covered by the ban. Paul Fiani, managing director of Integrity Investment, stated, "[i]t's creating big distortions in the market. … So some stocks get beaten up more than they otherwise would and take the pain on behalf of the ones that are protected."

Parkhurst earns international call-up to U.S. Men's National Team
COLUMBUS —The Columbus Crew announced today that defender Michael Parkhurst has been called-up for United States Men's National Team duty ahead of the team's upcoming international friendly. Under Head Coach Jurgen Klinsmann, the United States takes on Mexico on Wednesday, April 2 at the University of Phoenix Stadium (11:00 p.m. ET / ESPN, WatchESPN, UniMas). The meeting is the first between the two clubs since the U.S. qualified for this summer's FIFA World Cup in the 2-0 win at Crew Stadium over El Tri on September 10, 2013.
Parkhurst will depart for international duty following the Crew's Saturday, March 29 meeting at Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field (10:00 p.m. ET / Time Warner Cable SportsChannel).
Following the U.S. match, Parkhurst is set to join the Crew ahead of its first 2014 Trillium Cup meeting, presented by Scotts, against Toronto FC when the Reds visit Crew Stadium on Saturday, April 5.
Parkhurst, the Crew's 2014 club captain, has represented the United States internationally on the senior roster since 2007 and has earned 24 caps. His most recent cap came on February 1 in a 90-minute performance against Korea Republic in the first friendly match of 2014 for the Stars and Stripes. His National Team debut came in a CONCACAF Gold Cup match against Trinidad & Tobago on June 9, 2007. Parkhurst was a member of the squad that took home the 2007 and 2013 Gold Cup titles as well as the side that finished runner-up in the 2009 tournament.

If you're ready to take your understanding of the subject to the next level, I'm the guy who'll get you there. I specialize in upper-level mathematics, but Algebra is the basic tool behind everything.

Sean is an amazing math tutor. He is very patient and can explain any concept in a very easy and real life way. On my first math test I got a D, but with his help finished the class with a high B grade. Sean really knows his stuff and was never late or unprepared for a tutoring session. He found out what my professor's expectations for the class were and the style of our tests so that we could focus on the best way to learn the material.
Sean was a great tutor for my daughter who absolutely hates math. He was patient and clearly explained things in a way that she could pick them up. He was able to come at the last minute to coach her for her Algebra II final. Always very professional and polite. I would definitely recommend him to those struggling with math.
Sean knows his Excel very well, glad to have him as a tutor. I will definitely call him again in the near future. Thanks so much.
I have had Sean for just a few weeks now but I have noticed a significant increase in my understanding of Calculus. He allows me to learn at my own pace, and if I don't know something he makes sure that I understand completely before moving on.
Extremely helpful, thanks a bunch! First test went really well! He really knows how to be patient and explain different concepts, so glad I had our session!

THREATS: Earth(quake) Air(storm) Fire(spread) Water (flood)
On February 8, 2012 a fire broke out in the camp for internally displaced persons by the L'Ecole de la Republic Argentine on Rue St. Martin. A two year child died in the fire and many tents were destroyed. Haiti is in the midst of its dry season so water is scarce. A tragedy like this only serves to underscore the danger facing the hundreds of thousands still living in Haiti's IDP camps more than two years after the earthquake.
Hey Rich- won't be there this time around to see you- I just returned home. Have a great visit!
Hi, Tina! Thanks for your continuing collaboration with our Deslandes partners on behalf of sustainable building. I have seen pictures of the progress on Building #2 and am eager to visit there next week (I'll arrive in PaP on March 17). Will you still be in Haiti then? It would be great to see you!
Hi Rich, and all. I just returned to Haiti Communitère in PaP from the school site in Deslandes. It is looking terrific. The new school building now has all the blocks in place up to the bond beam, so the next step will be the bond beam and then the roof. It has been amazing to see the progress in skill level, and in the sense of pride, of the Haitian builders involved in the training and construction of the school over the past year.
We painted the first school with a yellow pigmented nopale paint (a home made concoction), and the pillars are now green- it really brightens the building.
Our Haitian partners in the community-based organization Centre d'Inspiration Jeunesse (CIJ) are using stabilized compressed earth blocks (CEBs) to construct a school classroom complex in the village of Deslandes (Artibonite department). A 3-room building was completed in December 2011 and a second 4-room building will be completed by the end of April 2012. Construction of a third, 5-room building is set to begin in November 2012. Classrooms measure 8m x 8 m and the interior and exterior walls are finished with an earthen plaster.
Blocks for Building #1 were fashioned with a manual Auram 3000 press, Blocls for Building #2 are being fashioned with a hydraulic Ital Mexicana AdoPress. Both buildings incorporate anti-seismic and anti-hurricane reinforcement. Some photos are available at www.PIPHaiti.org.
In addition to replacing the current school building (an open pole and corrugated metal structure) with one more conducive to teaching and learning, the project affords an opportunity to train a local work force in manufacturing CEBs and in building with them. After completion of Building #3 we hope to establish an "earth block construction" (EBC) training center and begin building houses in the area of Verettes.
The training and construction oversight are being managed with an "earth block" consultant from Earth Block, Inc. and the Tierra y Cal Institute in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Hey Harvey, do you have the vids for the Ubuntu-Blox wall test yet? If so, will you post them here/in the videos section? I'm excited to see them!
I suppose, like others who have not been to Haiti, and others who are often there and working hard to advance their work, I have been reluctant to speak further beyond my previous calls for lighter-weight solutions to replacement housing for Haiti. Having just returned from a week in Haiti, where I moved from PaP to Hinche to Montrouis, I feel it an appropriate time to comment on my observations. Firstly, it is clear that Roger Annis' 24 Feb 12 article (Canadian Haiti Action Network) on rebuilding Haiti is the most accurate to date. I saw a handful of T-Shelters in place, (the rubble situation not as bad as I had expected to see, and multipule sites suitable for Maisons Demontables if ownership is either confirmed or appropriated. A few government sponsored housing-grids dot the fields outside PaP, which can only be characterized as Migrant Camps. Daily, more and more tent cities are either collapsing or being torn down and tenants evicted. As for ongoing reconstruction efforts, concrete-block construction continues to be universal, with past methods of assembly being continued. From hundreds of square miles of photographed documentation, it is clear that Confined Masonry has been the preferred method of combined concrete and concrete block construction, with no documentable evidence of correct methods. In ALL cases that I saw, there was no interlocking of block and concrete, with rebar being extended to accommodate future second-story construction over suspect lower floor construction. Displaced persons are rapidly populating the naked-hillsides above Source Matelas and Camp Corail, with sticks, tarps and tin. In addition, rural areas like Hinche have doubled their populations with no additional housing in place to accommodate them. School poplulations have doubled and hospitals are overwhelmed. The situation in the countryside is dire, as the dry season permits no additional food growing and starvation is rampant. Former city-dweller have no agricultural skills, and there are few other jobs in towns like Hinche. ShelterUS will be building its first house in Hinche in June, if we can get the package thru customs. (any advice from others successful in this regard would be welcome) The initial house will be 36 m2 for a family with ten children now living in a tent camp near Hinche. It will cost about $12,000 ready for occupancy. We will also be sending five 12 m2 ShelterONE units for initial equity to present tent dwellers and to replace rapidly deteriorating NGO tents. Obviously a SIM press in Haiti could run full-time in competition with Concrete block construction, but the initial investment is so far not forth-coming. Without some introduction of a new material for building disaster-resistant housing, it is clear that CMU will remain the only game in town. In the meantime, sales offices for metal buildings continue to show up in PaP at prices far out of reach of the average Haitian. I visited one CEB house built in 1975, that was in a state of total collapse due to moisture intrusion and plaster delamination. Concrete beams continue to be built spanning thin-air and uncompleted buildings are everywhere and deteriorating daily. Onward.....
Today the Ubuntu-Blox house we made for the Hunt Institute eandhweek.org event last year was subjected to a simulated 8.3 earthquake at National Technical Service in Plano, Texas. We had some cracked plaster and wooden shutter was shook loose.
The house was initially too heavy so we had to strip out all of the plaster on the inside and 18 inches from the top on the outside.
This is all we have until we get the videos and reports from NTS in the next couple of weeks.
Thursday February 23rd we put up a six feet by six feet sample Ubuntu-blox wall against a wind with rain test at a testing laboratory in Plano, TX. 90 miles per hour simulated winds with four inches of rainfall per hour. Test was for thirty minutes. Wall shook a little but was as good after the test as it was before. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001020315342

(CNN) - A majority of Americans think Sarah Palin is stepping down as Alaska's governor for political reasons, according to a new national poll, with a majority of Republicans now saying that they do not believe that Palin would be an effective president.
Only 33 percent of Republicans questioned in a CBS News survey released Monday night say that Palin would have the ability to serve effectively as president. Last fall, 71 percent of registered Republicans felt that way.
"It's unclear whether the change in Republicans' view of Palin is the result of her decision to step down as governor, or whether the GOP rank-and-file felt they had to defend their party's vice-presidential nominee during the campaign but don't feel the same tug of party loyalty today," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Either way, this is bad news for Palin, whose first task in 2012, if she runs for the White House, will be to convince Republican primary voters to support her."
Fifty-two percent of all respondents in the CBS survey said that Palin is resigning because she thinks its better for her political career, with one in four agreeing with Palin's comments that her resignation would benefit Alaska. Most Democrats and independents feel Palin's resignation is politically motivated, while Republicans appear divided, with 36 percent indicating the move is to advance her political career and 31 percent agreeing with Palin's explanation.
"That's another indication that Palin may face a skeptical GOP primary audience if she chooses to run for president," Holland says.
Americans appear divided on whether Palin will run for the White House in 2012, with 43 percent feeling Palin will make a bid for the presidency, 39 percent indicating she will not run, and 18 percent unsure.
Palin has been critical of her coverage in the national media. Nearly half of those questioned, 46 percent, say the media's been harder on Palin compared to other political figures, with only seven percent saying the media's been easier on her than other politicians. Forty-four percent say her treatment's been about the same.
The CBS News poll was conducted July 9-12, with 944 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points.
CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report
Yes, and some people actually like fruitcake.
Michelle Obama is more qualified than Sarah Palin.
duh! that republican base of bible thumpers and PTA moms with no clue is NOT very big, and they are the only ones that would votefor her.
Sarah Palin does not have the intellectual capability to run a ranch. She should most definitely not be given the opportunity to run our country. We had a moron in the WH for eight years, and we all know where that go us. I don't think we can afford another one.
For once, I agree with the majority of Republicans concerning one of these polls.
Will wonders ever cease??
There is a 75% chance that Sarah Palin will be President in January 2013, there is a 100% chance that Barrak Obama will not be Presdent in January 2013. Help is on the way, only three and half years to go
Wonderful news, like Christmas in July. Finally, a post about Palin I can live with.
Wa wa wa.
If the electorate were stupid enough to elect this empty suit as President – she would just quit like she's doing her current job.
All the mean people won't shut up – they just keep spouting off the truth and it hurts poor Sarahs feelings. Wa wa wa...
i agree with oceanside, calif; let's just keep goofy sarah out of the headlines and hope she goes away; media attention is exactly what she wants; forget about her and her ne'er-do-well family
Shocking! (just kidding)
What a revelation, at last, the truth leaks
There is more to this that meets the eye....she clearly couldn't handled the vice presidential debates, she airs too much of her dirty laundry. This is someone who really needs prayers.
Not so fast! So what if she's not qualified? Everything bad is still all her fault. Well, it's either her fault or the teleprompter's fault.
I thought, CNN was good news media but now I know it is not. And I know for sure that such media has limited life.
I agree w/ Brendose of Oceanside. Let's let Palin stay in Alaska. She is NOT READY for prime time and just makes us Republicans crazy. (The indepenant thinks I guess) We were all real impressed until she actaully had to represent herself.
Not ready for prime time. I like her but she needs some more experience on teh national stage w/ national and Int'l issues.
That's about the same amount of people who approved of Bush's job as president, so it makes sense. Palin has no chance of every becoming president, but let's not forget how popular she is with the base. I'm curious to see what kind of support she brings to the GOP candidate, and also how much damage she does to that candidate.
Not Qualified. YOU THINK!!!!!
Clearly the democrats would like nothing more than for Palin to head the ticket for the GOP in 2012. She is a cut-and-run, attention deficit disorder scatter brain.
flp – get a life – your x president Bush is the reason the economy is so bad....putting money in a country that doesn't care about America or the other countries of the world...Thankfully there is not someone with a brain and intelligence at the helm again!
This is a joke;
Another CNN Research poll conducted by Keating Holland....where he polled 944 people, out of a country of millions. Those polled where undoubtedly in support of Obama....so what do you expect from a slanted poll? Slanted results. CNN will censor this I'm sure, but it appears that this news organization is fixated on destroying the life and career of someone who's not even committed to running for president! How unprofessional is that? How about just leaving her alone, and report on those in Washington that are skewing and stretching our country out of shape?

Thanks to WFP's school feeding programme, 360,000 children in rural primary schools, plus their teachers and school assistants, receive a nutritious hot meal accompanied by bread every day they attend class. And thanks to the generous support of the Russia Federation for the school feeding programme, the meal incorporates fortified wheat flour, enriched vegetable oil, iodized salt and protein-packed yellow split peas. A new consignment of yellow split peas arrived in Tajikistan from the Russian Federation in late February -- 1,200 metric tonnes with a monetary value of U.S. $1.2 million -- which were delivered to some 2,000 schools across all of Tajikistan to keep boys and girls healthy and happy to learn for the rest of the school year.
The rail wagon carrying the yellow split peas travelled from Russia to the capital Dushanbe, where it was separated from the freight train and shunted to the WFP warehouse by a locomotive.

Why Do You Love Snowboarding?
Hey guys im doing a final individual project for my drama studies and i was wondering if you guys could do me a favor.
The film is a documentry about why people love snowboarding, if you could, i'd appreciate it if you would film yourself explaining why you love snowboarding, the clip doesnt have to be long but must start with the words "I love snowboardng because", around 20 seconds would be perfect. Please upload your video to youtube and post your link below so i can get hold of it :)
thanks again
Josh :)

Downtown Danville was crowded with news agencies and cameras Friday morning to see the town that spawned the talented young man. Channel 2 newscasters interrupted Mayor Mike Shimansky's first Friday coffee at Father Nature's to ask for a statement.
"We're extremely proud," said Shimansky, who noted that he'd watched the spelling bee on television. "I couldn't even pronounce the words he spelled. I think he'll represent the town extremely well."
The Town of Danville will present O'Dorney with a proclamation upon his return, probably in July, Shimansky said. Plus, he hopes to "show him off" in Danville's Fourth of July Parade.
O'Dorney is homeschooled by his mother Jennifer through Venture School, and she and his father Michael, a BART operator, were in attendance. This was Evan's last chance to win the Bee, which is for students grades 6-8.
The 80th annual spelling bee was televised, giving friends and other Danville residents a chance to follow along, word by word as the young spellers took the podium. A serrefine is "small spring forceps used for approximating the edges of a wound or for temporarily closing an artery during an operation."
