Have you ever wondered why people spend hundreds - sometimes thousands of dollars - throwing dull darts at underinflated balloons at local carnivals only to come away with a poorly constructed teddy bear or empty pockets?
Or why some (if not a lot) think nothing of handing over a wallet full of dollar bills so their small fry can catch a rubber ducky and win a prize?
While lots of people will be doing just that at outdoor fairs and carnivals this summer, even more people play games of chance every day of the year.
What both groups of people have in common is that very few become winners.
The Better Business Bureau is sharing just some of the more common schemes and what you or a friend or family member can do to prevent becoming a big-time loser.
Chances are you've bought a lottery ticket or two, especially when the PowerBall reaches megamillions. These are legitimate games, even though the odds of winning are astronomical. We receive calls every day from consumers who believe they have won the jackpot. We suggest being wary of notices that arrive by email or regular mail announcing that you've won a foreign lottery. First of all, you can't win a foreign lottery if you did not purchase the ticket while in that country. Secondly, playing foreign lotteries is illegal - unless you are in that country.
We've all seen the commercials for Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. Although this particular sweepstakes is legitimate and is an actual business, many others are designed to appear to be the same thing in hopes you'll enter and many others just hope you'll respond to any and all sweepstakes. Phony sweepstakes announce you're a winner but state that you must send or wire a certain amount to cover handling fees and taxes. If you respond, not only will you lose your money but your name will be added to a bazillion other mailing lists for sweepstakes. You shouldn't have to send money to win money.
Wouldn't it be nice if the government really did want to pay for your education costs, home repairs, home business expenses, even unpaid bills? Ads are prolific online and in print for government grants. All claim you will qualify for such a grant and that your application is guaranteed to be accepted.
After congratulating you on your eligibility, they'll ask for your checking account information so they can "deposit your grant directly into your account" or cover a one-time "processing fee." And they'll even reassure you that you can get a refund if you're not satisfied. In these schemes you won't get the grant or your money back.
All free trials must come to an end. But according to some consumers ot all of them do. Many people, lured by offers of free trials for vitamins, weight-loss products, teeth whiteners and countless others, later discover that canceling the service or product is near to impossible. In the meantime, their credit cards continue to be charged the monthly fee. If you have a similar problem, contact your credit card company immediately.
The Better Business Bureau warns over and over again, before you find yourself involved in these or similar consumer traps, do your homework. Start with trust. Research any company you consider doing business with by going to www.bbb.org.

Alonso must be smiling a lot these days, and Jenson too.
They know that Mercedes are very unlikely to produce a car that can win races on a regular basis, (although you can never say never with Mr Brawn running the show). It seems that Alonso still really hates McLaren and RD, so he will have also been happy that Ron has lost his Golden Boy (or should that be Bronze boy?). The last three years have not really been Golden for Lewis, have they! I saw that Ron has NOT spoken to Lewis since the announcement was made last week, so it looks like there is a fair degree of ill will. Guess Ron feels he's been kicked in the ghoulies. Hope Jens beats Ham in the points again this year, and I just can't wait for the new season to begin. It's going to be a long long winter.

Nation & World briefing
VATICAN CITY -- Pope Francis says he's happy because he has a job and the "inner peace" that comes with age.
The Vatican on Saturday released the text of an informal interview he gave to Belgian youths earlier this week.
When asked if he's happy, the pontiff said he is, "maybe because I have a job, I'm not unemployed."
He says his happiness isn't the same as what young people feel. He says at 77, he feels, "a certain inner peace, a great peace, a happiness that comes as well with age."
Francis told the youths from Flanders that he has "found my path in life, and going down this path makes me happy."
Asked how he prays, he replied, "sitting down because it hurts me to kneel."
Rallies across U.S. decry deportation
PHOENIX -- Dozens of immigration advocates and supporters are rallying in cities across the country in a renewed effort to push President Barack Obama to put a freeze on deportations.
Organizers of Saturday's "Day of Action" demonstrations say Obama has the executive power to stop deportations that separate immigrants living in the country illegally from their loved ones.
In Eloy, Ariz., numerous supporters have converged in front of a federal detention center after journeying more than 60 miles from Phoenix.
Organizers say many of those present have relatives who have been inside the facility for more than a year.
Under Obama's leadership, almost 2 million people have been removed from the U.S.
Funds sought for quake alert system
WASHINGTON -- A group of lawmakers is hoping the recent string of Southern California temblors will jolt Congress into funding an earthquake warning system.
The lawmakers are seeking some of the $38.3 million needed to build the system on the West Coast and the $16.1 million a year needed to operate and maintain it.
"Even a few seconds of warning before the next Big One will allow people to seek cover, automatically slow or stop trains, pause surgeries and more -- and the benefits of this small investment now will be paid back many times over after the first damaging quake," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.
But securing the funding could be difficult at a time when congressional Republicans are determined to reduce Washington's red ink.
No California Republican signed a letter circulated by Schiff's office asking the House Appropriations Interior Subcommittee to provide $16.1 million next year for the system.
Two arrests made in mob attack on man
DETROIT -- Two Detroit teenagers were arrested Saturday in an attack on a suburban man who was brutally beaten by a mob after accidentally striking a boy with his pickup truck.
Investigators believe the 17-year-old and 16-year-old males had a direct role in the beating of Steve Utash, said Sgt. Mike Woody, a Detroit police spokesman.
Utash remained in critical condition Saturday. Woody said no charges would be immediately filed against the teens while investigators continue their work.
Utash, 54, of Clinton Township accidentally struck a 10-year-old boy with his pickup Wednesday. A mob swarmed him as he checked the boy, whose injuries were not life-threatening.
U.S. ship en route to sick toddler
SAN DIEGO -- A U.S. Navy warship was headed Saturday to rescue a 1-year-old girl who fell ill on a crippled sailboat that was attempting to circle the world. USS Vandegrift was expected to reach the Rebel Heart late Saturday.
The 36-foot sailboat was about 900 miles off the Mexican coast when it sent a ping for help to the U.S. Coast Guard on Thursday about a sick child. The boat is owned by Charlotte and Eric Kaufman, whose daughter, Lyra, had developed a fever and who wasn't responding to medications.
The California Air National Guard dispatched rescuers, who parachuted into the water and reached the disabled vessel. The team was able to stabilize the girl and pointed the sailboat toward Mexico, though officials didn't release what was wrong with the vessel. The rescuers are keeping watch on the ill child until the Navy frigate arrives to transfer them to shore.
Boy, 5, finds flaw in Xbox Live security
SAN DIEGO -- A 5-year-old San Diego boy has outwitted the sharpest minds at Microsoft -- he's found a backdoor to the Xbox.
Kristoffer Von Hassel managed to log in to his father's Xbox Live account. When the password log-in screen appeared, Kristoffer simply hit the space button a few times and hit enter.
Robert Davies said that just after Christmas he noticed his son playing games he supposedly couldn't access. Davies recently told Microsoft, which fixed the bug.
Blast near Fallujah kills 17 Iraqi troops
BAGHDAD -- An explosion in a house west of Baghdad on Saturday killed 17 Iraqi soldiers who had sought cover during a clash with militants, officials said.
The soldiers, part of an army convoy patrolling Albu Hadeed, near Fallujah, were attacked by gunmen from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militant group, security officials said.
During the clash, the officials said, the soldiers left their vehicles and headed for a nearby house to seek cover, but it was booby-trapped, and the explosives blew up as they entered.
The gunmen then fired on other soldiers who arrived at the scene to reinforce the original patrol, wounding more than 20 and stealing some of their vehicles.
Hours earlier, Iraqi security forces had killed 20 Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant gunmen in Anbar province, the Interior Ministry said.
Iraq is facing its worst violence in more than five years, with nearly 9,000 people killed last year and more than 1,000 so far this year. The Islamic State militants and other Sunni extremist groups have captured territory in western Anbar province, including Fallujah and parts of Ramadi.
Crowd attacks Ebola medical site
CONAKRY, Guinea -- A crowd angry about an Ebola outbreak that has killed 86 people across Guinea attacked a center where victims were being held in isolation, prompting an international aid group to temporarily evacuate its team, officials said Saturday.
The violence took place in the southern town of Macenta, where at least 14 people have died since the outbreak emerged last month. The mob who descended upon the clinic accused Doctors Without Borders health workers of bringing Ebola to Guinea, where there had never previously been any cases.
No one was seriously hurt, said Sam Taylor, for Doctors Without Borders, which sent samples overseas for testing.
Atlanta archbishop to sell mansion
ATLANTA -- A house built for $2.2 million by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta will be put up for sale -- with proceeds to be spent on the local Catholic community -- after some parishioners questioned why the mansion was ever erected, the archbishop announced Saturday.
The mansion, which Archbishop Wilton Gregory had moved in to early this year, represented a symbol of excess to some parishioners, he acknowledged this past week. And its grandiosity contrasted with "the phenomenon we have come to know as Pope Francis," the 66-year-old archbishop said.
After a meeting with church leaders Saturday, Gregory announced plans to vacate the residence early next month and then sell it.
The 6,000-square-foot Tudor-style home was built on the site of a home donated by the estate of Joseph Mitchell, whose aunt Margaret Mitchell wrote "Gone With The Wind." In 2012, Gregory announced a plan to demolish the original 2,400-square-foot Mitchell home.

When Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., went to the Senate floor Thursday afternoon to announce the death of Howard Baker, his words recalled not just his revered predecessor but an earlier, worthier cohort of American politicians.
"Sen. Baker truly earned his nickname, the Great Conciliator," McConnell said. "I know he will be remembered with fondness by members of both political parties."
McConnell was right on both counts: Baker, the former Senate majority leader who died Thursday at age 88, was a master of compromise. Like others of his generation, the Tennessee ...

Now that is a nice pair o' boobies
What would make this pic even better, is if she was getting plowed, and they did a gif image of those beasts flopping up and down in slow motion.
that's exactly where my mind went.
What would be even better if I was plowing her.
Who the fuck gives this a thumbs down? Mom, I'm looking at you…
that mole on her lip is a little distracting. Let's see if I can buff that off…with my penis.
Yes, this picture is missing my genitals in her mouth.
To those nay sayers who claim that the US doesn't manufacture anything good anymore…..exhibit A: Kate Upton.
You can see the implant outlines
It's a sad world when even obviously real tits are being called fake. As a female, I can vouch for her that those are real. When a woman has large breasts and then lays on her back, they kind of slide to the side and into her armpit. With the amount of tissue she has in her boobs, there's going to be an outline where the breast tissue starts to fall on top of regular tissue. Especially in a place where there's a significan slope downwards, like the armpit area when she's laying down. That tissue doesn't just melt away, it has to go somewhere. If they were fake, they would still be incredibly rounded and at attention, so to speak.
Krissy, you know fuck-all about real tits, because those are as fake as they come.
Krissy, I hear you. I'm a guy that hates it too. I go to myfreecams a lot and if a girl has boobs that don't move at all. There's always a dumbfuck guy asking if they are real and vice versa. This guy must be a virgin and never touched a boob. And knows shit about physics. Those tits are real. If you see any "lines", they are stretch marks.
LOL! She is 100% real. Fake tits don't bounce and jiggle like hers.
That's as natural as it can get! Whoever says those tits are fake has issues! or hasn't had a pair of nice jiggly natural funbags in their hands!
Waaaaay too many moles
Kate, I just want to say that you are the most beautiful lady i have ever seen. Your admirer Donald

I've raved about Youngblood's mineral foundations in the past- their original loose formula is one of the most amazing mineral foundation I've ever used (and I've gotten lots of friends hooked on it too)- but I still wanted to try their cream-to-powder foundation and see how it compares. My skin gets super dry in the cooler months, so I stay away from powders as much as I can… so I decided to give the Youngblood Mineral Radiance Crème Powder Foundation ($56 USD) a go.
This product is a compact cream, available in 8 shades, that glides on smoothly and sets to a luminous, powder finish. The texture of the cream is actually very 'wet', it's almost hard to describe. It feels quite thin to the touch, despite being a cream.
It feels really nice when applied to the skin, but I just didn't feel like it blended well enough into my skin. It's like I could see it sitting on top, no matter what I used to apply it (I tried the included sponge, two different foundation brushes and my fingers- nothing worked)! It also really didn't cover any of my imperfections very well, it's almost like it spread around them. In short, the texture, coverage and wear was just odd.
It's definitely a lot lighter than many compact cream-to-powder foundations I've tried, but I've never really found one that I loved, including this one. Also, keep in mind that the Youngblood shades look a lot darker than they go on. I was surprised to find this shade in Barely Beige looked like it would be too dark for me, but then went on about 2 shades lighter than my skintone.
I really wanted to love this foundation but I guess I just wasn't meant to be a cream-to-powder girl. Unless you're a huge fan of these types of formulas, I'd save your pennies and just go with any of their other formulas (which are all fantastic).
- Price: $56 USD for 0.25oz / 7g
- Availability: Youngblood
- Selection: Available in 8 shades
- Overall: I'm really not a fan of this foundation, despite loving all of their other formulas! This one had an odd, wet texture that didn't really cover well and seemed to sit on top of my skin instead of blending in. I really would recommend their other liquid or powder formulas over this one.

Hey, i heard about the above on the radio yesterday. Is this anything to worry about? I had planned on being in Cambodia in november
Thanks guys

The short answer is NO!
The long answer has two explanations.
The BBC article referred to an area of Pailin, which is neither on the tourist trail, nor a desirable place to go as the area is said to be chocka with land mines.
Antimalarial drugs fall generally into four categories:
(a) Hemozoin inhibitors: these prohibit parasitic life-cycle development by denying access to red blood cell nutrient - and are generally based on quinine (type) chemical structures.
(b) Antifolates: these inhibit the metabolism of the parasite - and are either blood plasma binder (eg. biguanides) or parasitic enzyme blockers (eg. Sulfadoxine).
(c) PfATP6 inhibitors: these are plant based (though chemically reproduced) products initially developed by Chinese herbalists (and refined by US Army research as a drug of last resort) that restructures the calcium/iron structure of the parasite, so inhibiting reproduction. These drugs have a very short lifespan of action - and are referred to as Artemisinins. This is the drug referred to in the bbc article, and resistance has also been noted in French Guiana.
(d) 'Other' combinations: these more recent drugs fall into three groups
(1) the tetracyclines - that block parasitic nutrient uptake (eg. doxycycline),
(2) a mefloquines - that impact on the central nervous system of the parasites (eg. Larium).
(3) atovaquones - this is a new type of drug that interrupts the parasitic regulatory activity (eg. Malarone).
History shows that malarial parasites have developed an immunity to most antimalarial drugs. The World health Authority advises that the 'artemesinin family of drugs' should ever only be given as a last resport. However, they are freely available in SE Asia and are often inappropriately taken as a malarial preventative (which they are not).
Most western medico's have swallowed the pharmaceutical company hype that western tourists NEED to take doxycycline or mefloquine tablets as a malarial preventative. Sadly, neither doxycycline nor mefloquine do NOT PREVENT MALARIA. Rather, the drugs inhibit certain malarial actions. A person taking doxycycline or mefloquine has a much reduced risk of malaria (but not 100% reduced). Sadly, the medico's NEVER WARN the person of the side effects.
- - - -
From my research, I take a course of Malarone with me. Yes, its expensive, but my life is worth more than the cost!
If I was to develop malarial symptoms, I start the Malarone and get to a decent hospital as quickly as I can.
- - - -
So, in a nutshell, be informed about malaria, but don't get hooked up on the hype.
Hope this helps

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - For Samuel Bustamante (boo-stuh-MAHN'-tay) and his buddies, shopping did not involve a trip to the mall. The men used the term to refer to hunting illegal immigrants, then beating and robbing them.
Bustamante, who's 40, faces execution Tuesday for a so-called "shopping" trip a dozen years ago that left 28-year-old Rafael Alvarado dead of stab wounds. The attack happened in Fort Bend County, southwest of Houston.
The lethal injection would be the seventh this year in Texas. At least 10 other executions are scheduled over the next three months in the nation's most active capital punishment state.

both Chunk Blower and Chummified. Fucking AWESOME!
Yeah. It would have been nice to hear more stuff outside of Harvest Floor (although its an amazing album) but hearing Chunk Blower was amazing. I like Chummified a lot, and it was a complete surprise because it seems like one of the lesser played (if ever) tracks of Humanure.
The only thing the set really lacked in my opinion was some old grind stuff, but I guess it might not have fit well with this tours atmosphere. And I really mean atmosphere, the two times I have seen cattle before it was just them going up on stage and playing, chatting with the crowd etc. This time Travis had a whole noise station draped in the snake eating itself symbol which he used to play drone/noise/ambiance/sample stuff between many of the songs, and even one whole track (which I would of put in the setlist but I dont think it has a name) of him doing his noise stuff. That was cool. They also had tons of fog and very little between song chit chat.

Lots of speculation running about how much KOTC was actually worth. Because ProElite is a publically traded company, we can simply look at the SEC filing and see it was worth 4 million in cash plus stock. I wonder how much Zuffa paid for the WEC?:

Promising Income Alternative – Real Estate Private Equity in a Mutual Fund 10 commentsFeb 15, 2012 10:35 AM
Because real estate private equity funds typically require minimum investment between $5 and $20 million, the option of investing in institutional quality real estate has been unavailable to individual investors. However, similarly to institutions, individual investors are hard pressed to navigate between low-yielding bonds and high-risk equities.
As a result, retail investors (like institutions) are seeking greater exposure to non-correlating alternative investments that provide consistent income with low volatility. High-quality income producing real estate has emerged as a favorite among retail investors, but the question for many investors is: "how should I get my exposure to investment real estate."
Since 2002, individual investors have flocked to non-traded REITs to the tune of $81.3 billion (source: Blue Vault). By definition, the key benefit of non-traded REITs is that they are not yet publicly traded. Subsequently, they offer the reasonably predictable cash flow without the volatility incumbent in the public markets. However, as noted by an Investor Alert by FINRA, non-traded REITs come with issues including high fees (up to 15% upfront), little or no liquidity, conflicts of interest and a lack of transparency.
Faced with the prospect of low-yielding bonds, high-risk equities, and the issues of non-traded REITs, where does the average investor turn when it comes to real estate? A bulk of real estate private equity funds (core open-end commingled funds) such as the Morgan Stanley Prime Property Fund and AEW Core Property Trust, focus on and are built to deliver the traditional benefits of real estate ownership; income, low-correlation to other assets and a hedge against inflation.
The Next Big Wave for Real Estate Investors
Many real estate leaders have imagined the next generation of real estate to come from a way for individuals to invest in real estate private equity. That time has come. One uniquely innovative new product promising to deliver direct real estate ownership to individual investors with the underwriting transparency and fee structure of inherent in institutional structures is Versus Capital Multi-Manager Real Estate Income Fund (MUTF:VCMRX).
This differentiated new product takes individuals out of the corner of non-traded REITs into the world of institutional real estate private equity funds. Versus Capital provides a differentiated platform in which the retail investor can participate in diversified, non-correlated, income producing institutional quality real estate. Versus Capital is a multi-manager mutual fund that invests with some of the most highly sought after private equity funds. Structured as a 40-Act mutual fund, Versus seems to be more investor friendly and features no upfront load, daily NAV pricing, quarterly liquidity and 1099 tax reporting. By assembling a diverse group of institutional funds, Versus seeks to provide a sound "margin of safety" by investing in a focused cross-section of commercial real estate managed by some of the best real estate fund managers in the world.
This multi-sector and multi-disciplined approach combines the best of institutional asset managers with broad-based diversification that includes income and value added strategies in multiple asset sectors (multi-family, office, retail, industrial, hotel, storage, mezz). Here is the targeted asset sector model:
The Versus Capital is also geographically diversified and the risk-averse fund was developed with the core strategies designed for investors seeking income, diversification, inflation protection and attractive risk adjusted returns.
Ultimately, this wave of opening up institutional fund managers to the retail market lies with the success of the Versus fund and the willingness of investors to embrace a new structure. Time will tell but it looks like this offering is well aligned with the investors' investment objectives of stability, income, and growth (in this order) with a liquidity feature that helps investors sleep well at night.
Versus Capital is targeting a 5.5% dividend and the mutual fund can be viewed on this Bloomberg link.

Mr THomas
I did not mean to seem critical in my comment. This fund may be an excellent vehicle for investors who are willing to invest a minimum of $10K for at least one year, without penalty. Subsequently withdrawals are allowed on a quarterly basis, so your money is basically locked in for 15 months.
Do you have further information ? Have they initiated purchases ?
Everything I see is generic and estimates/guidelines. Perhaps you can offer further guidance so as to make this fund more transparent. Thank you
Mr Thomas
I sent an e-mail to this fund and it rejected, stating it was a restricted site. I used the address provided within their site. Furthermore, one brokerage firm that I use advises that this fund cannot be traded and a second one has no listing for it. Are you sure they are geared towards individual investors ? They have been working on this fund since March 2011 and it appears they are still not ready to move forward. Additionally, statements within the website claim they expect the average invesment will be between $50-$75K. Frankly, I do not see that this new fund
understands what an individual investor is, or thinks, and the
way it is set-up makes it a hybrid between a closed end fund and an
open ended mutual fund. Lastly, their annual expense is going to be
3.30%, or more. I was initially interested but the more I read the less
interest I have. Perhaps you are able to comment and note any errors i have made in my comments or provide additional guidance.
Hopefully I am incorrect in some of the data I included within my
comments. So far its quite a "turn-off". It appears that once they
are funded, they expect to earn approx 8-9%, charge fees of approx
3.30%, and as a Reit pay out 90% , but tie up an investors money
for a minimum of 15 months intially, and even then, they have the
right to disallow withdrawals. The projected dividend stated is 5.50% Appreciate anything anyone else can add. Thanks.
Philipsonh - To my knowledge the fund is available through brokerage firms that have a selling agreement with the fund which may explain why your brokerage firm has no listing. I believe the fund is or will soon be available through Schwab, TD and RIAs. You are correct, the fund is a hybrid between a closed and open end funds. This is simply because 70% of the fund will be invested in less liquid private real estate funds. The fund does offer quarterly liquidity and as I have been told that liquidity is mandatory. There is a 2% penalty for withdrawals in the first 12 months. Real estate is not a short term investment and I would consider this fund a 3-5 year hold type of fund. If you do need liquidity in a 12 month time frame, REIT stocks, mutual funds or ETFs may be a better way to go. The big benefit of this fund is that you do gain access to less correlating direct real estate, a yield premium over traded REITs and even though $10,000 may seem high as a minimum investment, it is much lower than the $5-$20 million many of these funds require.
Hi Mr Thomas
Thanks for response. I understand everything you have stated and I
agree that it may be an excellent investment for the right type of investor. I simply did not appreciate the fact that when I send an e-mail to them, from within their site, it rejected as "restricted". I have read thru their documentation and to me it appears that return of funds to investors is at the fund's disgression. Of course they may have supplementary material that I have not seen which alters this
rule. I fully understand that a smaller investor can get access to
institutional products via this vehicle. Hopefully when they are up and running everything will be clearer. Thank you.
Mr Thomas
I forgot to mention ,will you post a comment when you learn more about VCMRX.
They state they are continuously accepting investments ( up to
$750M ). I am unsure if that is contradictory or not.
I gather they are accepting investments, like an open-ended mutual fund, and then closing the fund to investors when assets reach
$750M. That's my take.
One has to be aware that any NAV they post will necessarily be an
estimate since much of the portfolio will be private investments.
I am in a position to invest in this fund but, unlike other vehicles I
consider, in this case, I cannot decide.
Obviously the only way to get any questions answered will be to
phone them.
Thank you.
Investing in the I-class shares apparently either requires the ability to write a check with 6-zeros on the end or find an RIA that is acting as an agitator, which I've not been able to find so far...

I don't care who wins, no matter who it is, I take orders from him, so as long as they don't start up talks of not paying me (again) I have no preference.
you would think that the people who are most directly impacted by the president's decisions would care more about who that person actually is...especially in a time such as this where world powers(mainly us) are struggling to keep that title and are very VERY close to being involved in a global conflict in proportions that the world has never seen before.
sooner or later, you and i both are going to be in or near Iran. i personally feel like the election of who is going to be calling the shots for us the next 4 years in such a time of peril and calamity would be one of the most important events of our lives.
i see more and more soldiers who's outlook parallels yours and this view of "who cares about who is in charge, we gotta do what they tell us either way" is exactly the kind of mentality that made the German military so susceptible to the views of the Nazi regime...so maybe you, and all my fellow soldiers should think twice before belittling such an important issue.
---Rant---I do not 100% agree with the war. We are here now, I do not feel that we should be pulling out like we are. We gave Iraq complete power to soon and are doing the same thing in Afgan. I know that the next president will call another "end" to the war and pull all of us out leaving an unstable region, forcing us to return within the next 30 years. ---End Rant---
I view may be put off as arrogant and blind, but after dealing with pre-mob training and about to leave for another, while still waiting for final orders, I and most soldiers I see have grown tired of caring for the simple fact of what you mentioned. We HAVE to do what they say or have full force of the UCMJ brought down upon us, but do keep in mind, a large factor in why those with their combat patches dont give a **** is the money.
I will just leave this here.
Option Number 1.

14. Nate Berkus
Occupation: Interior designer
Why so powerful: New York-based Berkus had been a featured design expert on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" since 2002. He became a more recognizable face when he appeared on the show in 2005 to talk about the loss of his partner and his struggle for survival during the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. He has authored his own design book ("Home Rules") and has a line of housewares with Linens 'n Things. In Sept. 2010 Berkus left his post as design expert on the "Oprah" show and teamed up with Winfrey's Harpo Studios to host "The Nate Berkus Show."

Urine specific gravity is a laboratory test that measures the concentration of particles in the urine.
See also:
Urine density
The test requires a clean-catch urine sample.
To obtain a clean-catch sample, men or boys should clean the head of the penis.
Women or girls need to wash the area between the lips of the vagina with soapy water and rinse well.
As you start to urinate, allow a small amount to fall into the toilet bowl to clear the urethra of contaminants. Then, put a clean container under your urine stream and catch 1 to 2 ounces of urine. Remove the container from the urine stream. Cap and mark the container and give it to the health care provider or assistant.
For infants, thoroughly wash the area around the urethra. Open a urine collection bag (a plastic bag with an adhesive paper on one end), and place it on the infant. For boys, the entire penis can be placed in the bag and the adhesive attached to the skin. For girls, the bag is placed over the labia. Diaper as usual over the secured bag. This procedure may take a couple of attempts -- lively infants can displace the bag. The infant should be checked frequently and the bag changed after the infant has urinated into the bag. The urine is drained into the container for transport to the laboratory.
Your health care provider will instruct you, if necessary, to discontinue drugs that may interfere with the test. Drugs that can increase specific gravity measurements include dextran and sucrose. Receiving intravenous dye (contrast medium) for an x-ray exam up to 3 days before the test can also interfere with results.
Eat a normal, balanced diet for several days before the test.
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
This test helps evaluate your body's water balance and urine concentration.
Normal values are between 1.002 to 1.028.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Increased urine specific gravity may be due to:
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
There are no risks.
Osmolality is a more specific test for urine concentration. However, the specific gravity measurement is easier and more convenient. It frequently makes the osmolality measurement unnecessary.

|Fetus-in-fetu is a rare congenital anomaly in which a malformed parasitic twin is found within the body of its partner. Less than 100 cases have been reported in published studies. Although it is a relatively benign condition, clinicians need to have a high index of suspicion for the associated complications that may arise. We report the case of an infant presenting with jaundice and steadily growing abdominal mass, who was diagnosed with fetus-in-fetu syndrome. We review the published studies and discuss the pathophysiology, complexities, and management options.

How to Head a Soccer Ball
Heading in soccer is vital if you want to win the air war. Good heading ability will also help you dominate in the front of your and opponents six yard box. Beside winning the air war you will also score often at corner and free kicks.
1Throw the ball in the air or have someone throw it to you. You may want to keep it at head level if you're beginning.Ad
2Position your head to where you think it will hit the ball.
3Step forward and hit the ball with the top of your forehead. Aim for making contact on your hairline. That's where you will get the most power. You shouldn't do it with your scalp but it hurts and does not go that far.
4Open your eyes when you head the ball. This way you can avoid crashing into other players.
5Keep your mouth shut and keep your upper and lower teeth together (or you might get hurt).
6While practicing this way, observe which angle of the head gives what kind of result. Use this observation to learn to head the ball in the desired direction with the desired speed.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Remember that heading has different purposes in soccer. If you are heading at goal then you should head it down hard into the corner of the goal away from the keeper. But if you are making a headed clearance you should head the ball up in the air and try to get distance.
- Keep your eyes open at all times
- This is useful for corner kicks,indirect free kicks,direct free kicks,and throw-ins in games because you can direct it to the ground where a teammate can kick it in the goal or you can head it in the goal yourself.
- Practice.
- If the ball is going fast enough when it hits your head, it may knock you out or give you a minor concussion; however, research shows that concussions are much more common from crashing into other players. Concussions may even occur if one player's body hits another player's body (without either player's head being directly involved) at high speeds.
- Make sure you don't fall on the ball - very rare.
- If the ball hurts your head, avoid doing it; it can mess you up in games.
Things You'll Need
- Soccer ball
- Your head
- Someone throwing the ball to you

The Office of Sustainability & Environment (OSE) collaborates with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to develop innovative environmental solutions that foster equity, vibrant communities and shared prosperity. Information on OSE's work as well as Seattle's citywide environmental programs is also included in this site.
Energy Use of City Buildings
Seattle Municipal Buildings 2013 - 2014 Energy Performance Report lists the annual energy use per square foot of all City-owned buildings 10,000 square feet or larger and smaller public facilities such as libraries.
Energy Use of Private-Sector Buildings
Building Energy Benchmarking Analysis Report 2013 includes key findings from an analysis of 281 million square feet of Seattle's largest buildings required to annually report energy performance (buildings 20,000 square feet and larger). Seattle continues to raise the bar nationally, with 99% of required building owners now measuring their energy use and understanding their energy performance relative to similar buildings.
New Energy Policy Development
To further energy efficiency action in the building sector, the Office of Sustainability & Environment is collaborating with City departments and the community to develop new incentives, programs and requirements that will help building owners achieve the energy savings needed for Seattle to meet our climate goals. More information on that work here.
New Energy Dashboard for Private-SectorSeattle is committed to helping building owners and managers create more efficient buildings. Explore this new online tool that allows building owners to compare the efficiency of their facilities with local and national benchmarks.
The Office of Sustainability and Environment delivers cutting-edge policies and effective programs to address Seattle's environmental challenges while creating vibrant communities and building shared prosperity. Visit the Key Initiatives page to see a list of all the program focus areas for our office.
More examples for each area below can be found in our 2013 Accomplishments Report.
We develop and test forward-looking approaches. For example, following three years of focused effort by OSE, Seattle is poised to be one of the first cities in the United States to develop a district energy system that uses waste heat from sewer lines and data centers to heat buildings.
We deliver measurable results that advance the City's environmental goals. For example, OSE worked with its partners to launch the second year of Fresh Bucks, a program that doubles the purchasing power of low-income residents at Seattle farmers markets. In its second year, Fresh Bucks helped more than 2,500 low-income residents buy healthy produce at Seattle farmers markets.
We create bold and strategic action plans for achieving Seattle's environmental goals. OSE worked closely with Seattle Public Utilities to develop and adopt Seattle's first community-wide implementation goal for green stormwater infrastructure: managing 700 million gallons of stormwater runoff annually with green infrastructure by the year 2025.
2012-13 City Building Energy Performance Report
The City of Seattle released its second annual Municipal Buildings Energy Use Performance Report which reports 2012-2013 energy use for 8.1 million square feet of City-owned buildings. Reducing energy use in City facilities is just one element of the City's larger Climate Action Plan, which aims to reduce the overall energy use in Seattle's building stock 45% for commercial buildings and 63% for residential buildings by 2050.
Seattle recognized as the nation's most sustainable city by STAR Communities
STAR is a national organization which evaluates the livability and sustainability of U.S. communities; Seattle received a 5-STAR rating.
Comparison of the 2012 Seattle Energy Code with ASHRAE 90.1-2010
A strong energy code is one of Seattle's key tools for achieving significant reductions in energy use in the building sector and reaching the city's ambitious goal of carbon neutrality. This report, released June 30, 2014, shows that Seattle's buildings are, in aggregate, at least 11.3% more energy efficient than buildings constructed to the ASHRAE standard used by the US Green Building Council's LEED rating system.

|Robust curve clustering based on a multivariate t-distribution model.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20952338 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|This brief presents a curve clustering technique based on a new multivariate model. Instead of the usual Gaussian random effect model, our method uses the multivariate t-distribution model which has better robustness to outliers and noise. In our method, we use the B-spline curve to model curve data and apply the mixed-effects model to capture the randomness and covariance of all curves within the same cluster. After fitting the B-spline-based mixed-effects model to the proposed multivariate t -distribution, we derive an expectation-maximization algorithm for estimating the parameters of the model, and apply the proposed approach to the simulated data and the real dataset. The experimental results show that our model yields better clustering results when compared to the conventional Gaussian random effect model.

The current federal tax rates on investment income — dividends and long-term capital gains — are capped at 15 percent. Those rates are set to expire on Dec. 31 — and if they do, the rates on capital gains will go as high as 23 percent and the top tax rate on dividends will rise to 43.4 percent.
Many experts predict that if these tax rates increase, the U.S. will experience a chain reaction of adverse consequences with real-life impacts on families and individuals. This will happen whether you own stocks directly or indirectly through a pension or mutual fund.
The most direct impact is on the 25 million-plus Americans who invest directly in dividend-paying stocks. Within this group, IRS data shows that almost two-thirds are seniors who often supplement their income with dividends. This is especially true under current economic situations when traditional investment vehicles are yielding little to no gains.
The next group to feel an impact on higher dividend taxes will be those who invest in mutual funds, have retirement accounts, pension plans, or life insurance policies. These investment vehicles aren't taxed directly and are often dismissed by policy makers as not being relative to the tax rate situation. But let's look at the expected chain reaction if action isn't taken before the end of the year. A looming tax increase will likely cause investors to divest from the market before Jan. 1 to take advantage of the lower tax rate. When those investors sell, the stock price (value) declines resulting in a negative impact on all those who own that stock — whether directly or indirectly. Lower values hurt all investors individually, but the ripple effect doesn't stop there.
The industry sectors impacted by a higher dividend tax cover every sector of our economy — utilities, telecom, pharmaceuticals, manufacturers and hi-tech companies, like Microsoft and Apple. Not only are these sectors key dividend paying companies, but they are some of our nation's largest employers and tax payers. These companies rely on shareholders for a significant part of their financing. This assists in keeping costs to customer low, avoids over-leveraging, and gives investors value and an opportunity to grow their money at rates much more competitive than they'll get in banks or other cash deposits.
It is easy to see the connection between a growing company, job creation, and revenue to the local economy. Conversely, lower tax revenue, slower growth, and decreased private sector spending are all consequences of higher dividend tax burdens — and all negative consequences for our economy. The interconnectedness of the economy is greater now than ever before. As a result, public policy and market forces can have impacts well beyond their usual purview. Congress and the president need to understand this and be mindful of your retirement savings as they try to reconcile the federal government's spending.
A national grassroots campaign can help. Visit the NMUSA website home page at: www.nmusa.org to connect to the Defend My Dividend initiative. You can learn more about this vital economic issue and voice your opinion.
Extending today's dividend tax rates is good for the economy, businesses, retirees and families.

The statuesque Ivanka Trump and the diminutive British pop star Little Boots are a study in contrasts: the regal real-estate heiress is a graduate of the tony prep school Choate Rosemary Hall and the Wharton School and grew up entrenched in the society world of Manhattan. Little Boots, aka Victoria Hesketh, is a product of Blackpool in Lancashire, England and only just landed on these shores yesterday afternoon. But both leading ladies joined forces in midtown Manhattan last night to celebrate the launch of Trump's latest jewelry collection and her partnership with the United Nations Foundation's Girl Up campaign.
Hasketh — whose sobriquet Little Boots is a rough translation of the debauched Roman emperor Caligula — began singing classical music and playing the piano and harp when she was just a little tyke and went on to posting "as a complete joke" her own covers of British pop songs (by groups such as Girls Aloud) on MySpace and YouTube, eventually garnering about a half million hits.

Collecting the Sun's Energy for Solar Thermal Applications
The sun is a vibrant, wealth of energy. Much attention has been placed on capturing those valuable rays for electricity, but those rays can be harnessed in another area as well. Photovoltaic systems are used to convert sunlight into electricity, and normally are placed on the roof of a residence. Solar power is definitely an advantageous addition to any home, but so is the installation of an active solar thermal system.
Active solar systems work by transforming the sun's energy so it can be used in various applications throughout your home. It gathers the rays and heats a fluid which is then used to produce heat and hot water. This technology will allow you to be even more energy independent than before. The key to its success, however, is the proper collection of the solar radiation. There are several components to these systems, including collectors, electric pumps, fans, controls, and storage tanks. In this article, we'll focus solely on the collection process.
You have either flat-plate or evacuated-tube collectors to choose between.
- A flat-plate collector is a metal box whose top side faces the sun and has a glass or plastic cover that absorbs the rays and traps the heat within the box. There are pipes with a circulating fluid inside the box that are warmed by the trapped heat. This circulating fluid is then used to warm water or air.
- Evacuated-tube collectors consist of several vacuum tubes that lay on your roof, absorbing the sun's rays and warming the fluid that is recirculated. Flat-plate collectors have been in operation longer than evacuated-tube collectors, but evacuated-tubes are more efficient and can be used in cloudy weather.
Even if you don't intend to use this system as your sole provider of heat or hot water, it can still serve to reduce your energy costs. Why not use it as a supplement to your existing energy source, and achieve more self-sufficiency within your home? Request free estimates from prescreened solar contractors in your area to price one of these systems.
