What is Carotenoid Complex? What are carotenoids?
Carotenoid Complex is GNLD's premiere whole food supplement & carotenoids are the orange, red, yellow and green pigments in vegetables and fruits. Carotenoids assist in antioxidant activity in cellular fats, support cellular growth and renewal, and assist healthy levels of immune cell activity.
They are also known to promote cardiovascular health, including support for a healthy antioxidant response to LDL cholesterol.* And there are many studies that link carotenoids to reduced risk for heart disease and cancer, as well as enhanced tissue protection and immunity.
While vegetables and fruits in your diet may be the best place to get carotenoids, most people are not getting the required amount (between five and nine servings) that are needed for optimum benefit.
GNLD Products Carotenoid Complex is not only derived from whole foods, but its benefits are backed by research and human studies. Each Carotenoid Complex capsule delivers the complete carotenoid value of an optimal serving of a wide variety of veggies and fruits rich in carotenoids.
Carotenoid Complex
"It's amazing that Carotenoid Complex is still the only full-spectrum food-based carotenoid supplement on the market, especially since the research on the health benefits of carotenoids are being widely celebrated.
One of the advantages of new Carotenoid Complex is that each capsule contains standardized extracts of a wide variety of carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables, so it is possible to put guaranteed amounts of the different carotenoids on the label.
However, one of the most interesting features of new Carotenoid Complex is that tests have shown that the total antioxidant capacity of the new capsule is 8 times greater than the previous formula!
If our immune system is working at its best, then our body is better prepared to defend itself against these aggressions. Full of a broad-spectrum of carotenoids, new Carotenoid Complex is the best supplement you can choose to help boost your immune system."

The Cardinal McCarrick High School football team fell to the Point Pleasant Beach, 41-6, on Friday night in the Eagles' home opener at Raritan Bay Waterfront Park.
The rushing attack and smothering defense of the Garnet Gulls proved to be too much for an Eagles team that had only 18 players dressed for the game.
McCarrick's defense allowed four rushing touchdowns and a passing touchdown as Point Pleasant Beach scored on its first two offensive plays of the game. The Gulls also scored on an interception return late in the first quarter to give them a 20-0 lead with just over three minutes left. ...

Intracellular ZnO Nanorods Conjugated with Protoporphyrin for Local Mediated Photochemistry and Efficient Treatment of Single Cancer Cell
1 Department of Science and Technology, Campus Norrköping, Linköping University, 60174, Norrköping, Sweden
2 Department of Pure and Applied Biochemistry, Lund University, Box 124, 221 00, Lund, Sweden
Nanoscale Research Letters 2010, 5:1669-1674 doi:10.1007/s11671-010-9693-zPublished: 15 July 2010
ZnO nanorods (NRs) with high surface area to volume ratio and biocompatibility is used as an efficient photosensitizer carrier system and at the same time providing intrinsic white light needed to achieve cancer cell necrosis. In this letter, ZnO nanorods used for the treatment of breast cancer cell (T47D) are presented. To adjust the sample for intracellular experiments, we have grown the ZnO nanorods on the tip of borosilicate glass capillaries (0.5 μm diameter) by aqueous chemical growth technique. The grown ZnO nanorods were conjugated using protoporphyrin dimethyl ester (PPDME), which absorbs the light emitted by the ZnO nanorods. Mechanism of cytotoxicity appears to involve the generation of singlet oxygen inside the cell. The novel findings of cell-localized toxicity indicate a potential application of PPDME-conjugated ZnO NRs in the necrosis of breast cancer cell within few minutes.

ANAHEIM, CALIF. — In a span of three days, captain Henrik Zetterberg became a point-a-game performer in the Red Wings first-round series against the Ducks. Of course he did.
Teammates have high expectations of Zetterberg, because he has been a superstar for so long. He is coming off a three-point outing headed into tonights Game 7 at Honda Center, contributing two goals Friday, including the game-winner, to stave off elimination and tie the series, 3-3.
The goals were Zetterbergs first of the 2013 playoffs. Since entering the NHL in 2002, he has scored at least one goal in every playoff series he has played which is 20 (he missed the 2011 series against Phoenix because of a knee injury).
He brings it every night, Niklas Kronwall said. Hes one of the best players in the league, and whether he scores or he sets up some of the other guys up, hes one of our best players, if not the best player on the ice every night.
Zetterbergs two goals Friday put his playoff total at 53, one short of tying former Wings great Nicklas Lidstrom for third place in club history.
Its not unusual for star players to take a few games to start producing; the Ducks got only the second point out of Corey Perry in Game 6. Coach Mike Babcock said of Zetterberg that, hes been good all series. The longer you play the better chance you have to be yourself, point-wise.
Zetterberg does so much, including kill penalties, that hisworth is measured in more than points. But points add up to win games, and Zetterberg conceded he was happy to see the puck finally sink into Anaheims net.
Thats what you hope for, he said. I play a lot of minutes, play a lot of power play, play with great players, so if you keep doing good things, eventually it will come. You just overshoot a little bit more, maybe, and eventually with the bounce will be with you.
Zetterberg had two assists in Game 5, after being limited to one assist the first four games.

What is the theme of the poem "Richard Cory"?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Two themes are developed through the poem's ironic ending. Although Richard Cory enjoyed wealth and social position and was much envied by the working poor, he is the one who commits suicide, as we learn in the poem's last surprising line. The public perception of Cory when contrasted with his suicide develops several themes. All of his wealth and privilege did not bring Cory happiness. Apparently more is required to lead a meaningful life. Also, appearances are deceiving. Those who watched Cory, a man who "glittered" in their eyes, assumed he enjoyed a perfect life. They had no idea that his life was so empty and unbearable.
Upon reflection of those who "glitter when they walk,"--the celebrities of contemporary society--one must note that, like Richard Cory, they inhabit rooms of which no one else has knowledge. (One fairly recent example is that of Philip These rooms, some of which may be the proverbial "brown study" or the blackest despair of the soul, are apparently ones in which those above "the pavement" of ordinary lives wrestle with unconquerable torments, while the ordinary people "who cursed the bread" in their discontent and envy of the rich and famous live out their banal lives.
Edward Arlington Robinson's poem "Richard Cory" relates the truth that all persons are inscrutable to others; for no one can truly know all that dwells within another's mind. Thus, Robinson touches upon the theme of the existential aloneness of each human being. Paradoxically, this aloneness of Cory was exaberated by his celebrity. For, when he comes to town he is alienated from the citizens because of their perception of him as "imperially slim" and "schooled in every grace," and far above them in stature, so much so that no one really communicates with him.

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) - Just because a film isn't finished doesn't mean it can't get buzz at Sundance.
Director Richard Robbins showed about 10 minutes of his new movie, "Girl Rising," at the independent-film festival Monday, even though he still has a few weeks of post-production work to do on the project.
The film tells the stories of nine girls from different developing countries and shows how access to education would change their lives.
Robbins said he hoped to finish the film in time to compete or premiere at Sundance, but after visiting 10 countries in 12 months gathering footage, he just couldn't make it in time.
The film is set to be released in March and features the voices of Meryl Streep, Salma Hayek, Kerry Washington, Alicia Keys and Selena Gomez, among others.

According to members of the Plymouth Board of Selectmen, officials with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will no longer attend meetings open to the public.
As a government entity that�s funded with $1 billion in taxpayer monies and is charged with regulating the nation�s 104 nuclear reactors, including Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, we urge the NRC to reconsider.
The chair of Plymouth�s board Matt Muratore said this week that in a conference call, his board was told by NRC officials who attended an April open meeting in Plymouth, that there would be no more open meetings.
�They felt that (the April meeting) was a flogging of the NRC by the board of selectmen,� said Muratore, �that we were grandstanding for the press ... They were very concerned with how the media spun this.�
So much for what the NRC cites as its organizational values on its own website, �Service to the public ... Openness in communications ...�
The NRC will continue with its own annual public meeting in Plymouth, as required under its governing legislation, said NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan. He said officials try to answer every question they get from the public at those meetings.
If that�s the case, then why did three Massachusetts congressmen, including U.S. Rep. Bill Keating, send a letter to the NRC in March urging it to host public meetings and opposing plans by the NRC to have only small group or one-on-one discussions � with NRC responses from those discussions to be contained within that small group?
So much for �openness in communication.�
The NRC has long been criticized by nuclear industry watchdogs as being a rubberstamp for the nuclear industry itself. Its record of never denying a license renewal to any facility it oversees seems to support that. As does the resignation of NRC Commissioner Gregory Jaczko last summer following years of conflict with the other four members of the commission, where he often voted in the minority in support of public safety and transparency.
The public deserves to be heard by NRC officials. Neighbors of Pilgrim have real concerns about safety following the partial meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi in Japan. It wasn�t the earthquake that caused the radiation spill, it was the failure of the cooling system. Following the disaster, a 12.5 mile radius had to be evacuated. The 41-year-old Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is a twin design of Fukushima.
Add to that, Pilgrim�s owner, Entergy Corp., has plans to build a new dry cask storage system, and transport some of the older spent fuel rods to this new storage structure.
Naturally the public has questions. If the NRC is more concerned with how it�s image is portrayed in the media than with the people it serves, then it�s abdicating its responsibilities.
Page 2 of 2 - Without transparency from the NRC, people must then ask their elected officials to host public meetings � with the NRC commissioners as guests of honor.

Vermonts strong, safe and relatively unregulated gun culture might contribute to a broader, 50-state solution to curb firearms violence, Gov. Peter Shumlin says.
A nationwide policy regarding preventative measures, currently under discussion in Washington, should take priority over state-by-state efforts in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., killings, the governor told the Burlington Free Press on Thursday the first day since the Dec. 14 massacre that Shumlin has spoken in interviews about firearms policy.
Shumlin, a long-time hunter, said he and most Vermonters view firearms as tools to manage natural resources and not accessories to a culture of violence.
Vermont should be a model for the country, the governor said. Were not a state that glorifies weapons of war that are of little practical use to a civilian.
We have tremendous respect for our natural resources, for hunting and a really responsible approach to using weapons, and we use them to manage our natural resources, and to keep our farms strong, Shumlin continued. We use them as a tool to prosperity and quality of life.
Shumlin said he had once shot an assault weapon at a shooting range, but hes partial to more practical firearms: His hunting rifle of choice is a Remington 708.
Bolt actions the only way to go, he said.
I will defend the rights of sportsmen and -women to own weapons until my dying day, Shumlin added. But in all my years of hunting, Ive never seen an assault weapon in the woods. People dont use machines of war to shoot whitetail deer.
The governor said recent efforts to outlaw large-magazine assault rifles in Vermonts largest city, Burlington, are beyond his purview.
Lets put it this way: Im very careful about commenting on individual legislative initiatives in our cities and towns, because Im a big believer in local control and thats not my job, and I hope they return the compliment, he said.
Shumlin said he would likewise sidestep the national debate.
Im not in Congress; Im not the president. Im spending my time on jobs and economic development in Vermont, the governor said. But I have a lot of confidence in the presidents and vice presidents approach to this, which is: Be inclusive, with the goal of not coming up with a solution that looks good, but really diving into the issues that are driving violence, and that are putting weapons in the hands of crazy, deranged people who shouldnt have them.
Might the governors views signal a greater willingness by the powerful National Rifle Association to negotiate regulation?
That organization has recently released only tightly scripted statements. But the NRA knows Shumlin: In October its Political Victory Fund supported the Vermonters re-election campaign.
The groups endorsement letter stated that Shumlin, as president of the Vermont Senate and later as governor, opposed legislative efforts that would mandate unnecessary storage requirements of firearms and enact punitive taxes on lead ammunition.
The governor also led the effort to to support the creation and development of publicly accessible shooting ranges, the endorsement letter states.

local craftsmen: Wooden toys
When I saw this wooden toys it brought me back in my childhood. I cannot tell how he loved this toys, wooden cars and in particularly this small guitars called "tamburica". BTW, tamburica is a leading instrument in Croatian folk music.
There is big difference between toys made of plastic and those in wood, unfortunately modern kids cannot learn and know it.

This, what you see on this picture, are the products of Medicar, fine home made cakes which you can eat or have as a souvenirs.
What to buy: "Licitarsko srce" (heart) is a part of a wax or gingerbread craft-making tradition, wax-artists (wax-chandlers) have been putting out beautiful examples of their craft since way back in the 14th century. That fleshy giver of life-blood, the heart, is the design of choice. The time-honoured tradition is a cherished part of the national identity that goes all the way back to the 14th c.

The ESPN coverage maps have been released. Here is the link to show them.
The ESPN coverage maps have been released. Here is the link to show them.
So this means in Michigan the game will be on ABC? I like how that third map is structured differently than the first two.
That is how I'm reading the map. The yellow area gets M on ABC. Whether or not the rest of the country gets the M game on WatchESPN, I don't know.
is different because there is no mirror on ESPN2, no game on ESPN2 at all at that time. Which is the problem for anyone roughly West of the Mississippi.
I guess to some degree I can't blame them for not making MICH against UConn, which is a pretty weak game, the national game.
HOWEVA, given how bad both UT and KSU are, Michigan is clearly the most watchable team.
So boo this coverage map...
West-coasters can hop a flight to Alaska or Hawaii to catch the game. Nice.
so is there NO coverage on the west coast?
Suh-Weeeeet. Iowa is a cluster but I'm in the clear.
and although the coverage map shows the Michigan game, I checked with the local affiliate and they are airing the KSU/Texas matchup.
What is difficult for me to understand is the physical location of the TV station is in Illinois, so technically this shouldn't even be an issue... But it is.
Not happy!
Weird. I hope for your sake that's still just an error and that once Saturday comes around it'll be Michigan. If you're in the quad-cities I really hope that's the case as I may be over there myself so I'm assuming Michigan will be on.
I just received a reply phone call from the Programming Director at WQAD-8 (ABC affiliate in the Quad Cities).
She is looking into the issue, and said it would be resolved today, tomorrow at the latest. More to follow!
Go Blue!
Yeah let me know what the WQAD peeps say. Again, I assume the Michigan-UConn game is what's to be broadcasted but I'll still check back and see if you have any update especially if it goes against us.
...probably think Michigan-UConn is a basketball game.
Anyone know if they're going to have a secondary channel showing the M game or am I going to have to resort to watching it on the web
There is apparently no reverse mirror for the game. Thank the AAC for waiting until the last minute to pick the timeslot.
Living in ann arbor I rarely have to care about this type of tv coverage map stuff, but Ill be in DC for a wedding this weekend. I loaded up watchESPN onto my 3G ipad, but im still not convinced I'll get the game one I arrive in DC. Anyone know ?
I have comcast thru ann arbor and 5 mins ago I rechecked the watchESPN app and at 8pm saturday the michigan game isnt an option(maybe because its on ABC for me??). Will my ipad update once I get to DC ?
This is all super new to me... Any pointers are appreciated. My wife doesnt realize this yet but an ipad is coming to the wedding and I have all intentions of watching the whole game. Hellllp??
I would skip. If they scheduled heir wedding during college football season they have no right to be pissed if you skip.
If it was a home game I would have more grounds to skip, but who would have thought it'd be a night game!
Thanks for the idea to try watchABC - I downloaded that already, but didnt think of the idea to proxy. It's worth a shot!
Anyway, I'll have my 3G ipad so worst case I'm checking back on mgoblog for streaming sites! Thanks guys.
You can watch it from anywhere ... though you better have a great data plan. or better yet WIFI.
Go Blue!
LoL too late for this one! Being from A2 i this is a one time problem for me otherwise Id consider it for sure.
My work pays for unlimited 3G on my ipad.... Just need a link and im golden. My goal is to get familiar with every option people are telling me on here and just keep toggling through the options. HOPEFULLY one will work. My risk management is to hit the board up and hopefully someone who is smarter than me has posted a live stream compatible with ipad. Double risk management is to leave the wedding and find a tv. The last one will likely be what happens.
Not feeling great about my ipad options, but love the support on options from everyone!! Keep em comin!
Pick a city where you can access watchabc.go.com/live and try a proxy (http://www.proxynova.com/proxy-server-list/country-us/).
Thank you, I will give this a try!
and make your way to Buffalo Billiards at 1330 19th St., NW. Great place to take in a Michigan game ..........packed with Michigan fans on gameday.
Just for future reference it appears the Alumni Association is changing venues to RFD near the Verizon Center. I got an email last week about that. I'm sure people will still be at BB but looks like they are trying to phase over to the new place. No idea why but the new place is pretty cool and a much better beer selection and they still have a ton of TVs.
It might have something to do with Buffalo Billiards being a terrible, terrible bar.
I'm all for the transition to RFD.
You may not be able to get it on WatchESPN since the game will be on ABC out here. I have to watch a random Saturday night game before after getting home on a Saturday night and the WatchESPN has not streamed the ABC game. Just be prepared for that. You may have to use the Gamecast which is pretty decent.
Game cast is obv better than nothing, but they are still horrible.
I'm here in California. I won't be able to see the game. Shit.
It will be available on ESPN3 where it is not on ABC
I'm out of luck here in Omaha
It doesn't look like it will even be on ESPN 3. Wtf.
according to the michigan schedule page on espn, it lists an ESPN3 broadcast:
however, when you go to espn3, it doesn't list the michigan game as "upcoming" unless you go to this direct link - http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index/_/gameId/332640041/league/NCAAF
still not sure if either of these are confirmation for espn webcast.
Dear ABC:
Fuck you.
Sincerely, The West Coast
And yours truly,
the Rocky Mountain West
San Diego.
Can't watch in TX, either.
For anyone worried about missing the game due to being outside the coverage area, just use http://firstrowus1.eu.
Fuck this shit. What happened to the guaranteed reverse mirror thing? Can't they just put it on BTN?
game is at uconn so it does not fall within the big tens contract with espn - the aac contact does not have reverse mirrors
Yeah I get that, I'm just bitching. This is what we get for playing at a shit school.
Luckily, I'm in a region that gets the game but it's hard to believe CA gives two squats about the Texas - KSU matchup.
Howevah, the board should remember why we're playing UConn (most recall): we needed a respectable but oh-so-beatable opponent to face to rededicate the Big House. A Randy Edsall-coached UConn was just that school, but insisted on a home-and-home. This game is the payback, and UConn did not look nearly so bad a few years back when Edsall was looking like a Pat Fitzgerald-ascendant coach who would put UConn at a new level of respectability. (I'm confident WolvinLA2 knows all this, - his posts indicate a great perspective on and understanding of Michigan football. I'm just replying in case some folks on the board wonder "why the hell did we schedule an away game at UConn"?)
WolvinLA2 - I hope you're able to stream the game some way, some how.
I do understand all of that, but I honestly never expected the game to be left off half the country. I knew it would be early in the season before most conferences got into their meat, and I assumed they'd either pick a noon start or put it on ESPNU or something.
It's still hard to believe that we couldn't convince UConn, or a UConn-level school, to do a one-off game at the Big House. Even though Edsall's teams showed promise, they weren't a prestigious opponent or anything. Plus, their home stadium only holds 40K, so I don't see how UConn would be able to make more money by hosting a game than just by taking a check from us.
BiG10 states Nebraska & Iowa get barely half coverage, but for some reason ALL of North Dakota will get the game?
I'd imagine they put minimal thought into North Dakota's coverage desires. The Iowa situation is odd, but Nebraska is kind of venturing into weird Big Ten/Big Twelve country so it makes some sense.
While there are a lot of B12 fans here (I'm in Omaha), most people I've talked to would rather see the Michigan game - including me obviously. Looks like streaming online it is for me!
Apparently Iowa State wears the pants in the family.
Crap! Can you watch ESPN3 games after the fact, or only live?
I'm going to be in cabin in the middle of nowhere. Psyched about that, but I always counted on getting to put it on my DVR and watch when I got back. I hate UConn and their bullshit.
I would imagine espn will reair it sometime during the week.

Turnovers negated a good effort in a tremendously physical game for City High at Linn-Mar on Friday night as the Lions pulled out a 33-20 victory.
City High is 4-4 with its final game Friday at home against Kennedy. Linn-Mar may have saved itself a spot in the playoffs with its third victory in eight games.
"We've got some things we can build on," City High coach Dan Sabers said. "We battled. It's just been a real interesting year and we've got to keep battling. There are still some good things that could happen." ...

Let the Games Converge!
The two hottest trends in computer gaming are portability and multiplayer interactions. A Swedish research lab and telecom giant Nokia are putting these capabilities together.
The beep coming from your PDA is not a reminder for a meeting. It's a trull trying to communicate. Shouting, it looks at you from the screen. The only thing to do is to scribble some runes to make it quiet. Then run to the next holy place.This is a perfectly real scenario, and has been since the release of The Visby Game,-an adventure computer game set not in the usual fantasy world but in the town of Visby, Sweden. The trull is a character in the game, and together you visit mystical places both in the physical world and the game world.
The choice of Visby for the game setting is no coincidence. This small, medieval town is the home of Zero-Game Studio, an applied research lab specializing in games. A dozen leading computer games researchers from all over the world have settled at this two-year-old lab to investigate what a game really is-and what it could be. Zero-Game is part of a company called the Interactive Institute, which is owned by a Swedish research foundation that is itself controlled and financed by the Swedish government.
The Visby Game is one of Zero-Game Studio's first projects-and one of the first games in the world to take advantage of mobile technology for multi-user gaming. Apart from investigating what can be done with portable gaming, it is also being used to gather knowledge about how location-based games can augment the tourism experience. Being both portable and played by several participants at the same time, The Visby Game is hooked on the two trends right now.
"Mobile games and massively multiplayer games are the latest significant changes in the basic model of what a game is", says Craig Lindley, research manager at Zero-Game Studio and visiting professor at the Department of Engineering, Art and New Media at Sweden's University of Gotland. Lindley's research background is in the areas of knowledge base systems, artificial intelligence, and autonomous agents, but a chance to work in a group specializing in the new field of games research brought him to Visby, situated on an island in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
From the other side of the Baltic, in Finland, comes further evidence that portable and multi-user gaming are hot: telecom company Nokia's new N-Gage device is a combination of a high-end mobile phone and a game deck with fast graphics and color screen. N-Gage also incorporates Bluetooth wireless technology to make possible multiplayer games among people in the same vicinity as one another. Game Boy needs an adapter to get this kind of wireless gaming. Play Station Portable, Sony's long awaited answer to Nintendo's Game Boy, expected to debut next year, is said to use Wi-Fi.
The early reviews have called N-Gage clumsy and expensive, dismissing it as just another mobile phone with some game-play capabilities. But the publishers of computer games seem thrilled. They believe they are seeing a chance to expand through new channels and to new consumers. This fall should bring the release of several high-quality games for the N-Gage, including Tomb Raider, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and Sega Rally Championship.

Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri to be feted in London
29th June 2007 09.00 IST
By Agencies
Eminent Indian actors Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri will be honoured by a Britain-based film organisation in London Sunday.
"These two living legends (Puri and Shah), who attended the same school of acting and started their career almost around the same time, will speak on 'Life and times in Indian cinema' before an invited audience," said Parvaiz Alam, director of India-EU Film Initiative, that will be honouring the icons of Indian cinema at the Nehru Centre in London.
"For more than thirty years these two actors have been entertaining the masses in India and abroad. Yet, their style of acting is so different and special that the connoisseurs of cinema describe them as role models for those who want to take up acting seriously," said noted director Jagmohan Mundhra , who is also president of the organisation.
Naseer, 56, who studied at the National School of Drama (NSD) and the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), started his career with Shyam Benegal 's path breaking film Nishant in 1975.
He was the recipient of two national awards (Sparsh 1980, Paar 1984), three Filmfare awards (Aakrosh 1980, Chakra 1981, Masoom 1983) and an award at the Venice Film Festival (Paar 1984).
He has also been awarded Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian award by the Government of India.
Puri, 56, who also studied at the NSD and the FTII, made his debut in Ghashiram Kotwal, a film based on Vijay Tendulkar's play.
Awarded with an OBE by Britain, Puri has also won several national awards in India. He is better known in the western world for his memorable roles in My Son the Fanatic (1997) and East Is East (1999).
One of his most notable films was Ardh Satya (1982).

Update: Chris Hedges Sues Obama Over NDAA
Posted on Mar 14, 2012
In this interview with RT America, Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges gives a status update on his lawsuit against President Obama for signing the National Defense Authorization Act, which for Hedges represents "a decimation of the most basic civil liberties that Americans have taken for granted." Watch the clip below to hear where the process stands and why, as he succinctly and correctly puts it, the NDAA is "quite a frightening piece of legislation." —KA

It is incomprehensible how the seemingly intelligent Obama has sold his soul to the devil. All that was dear to the founders of our Nation is at stake.

Our pathetic leaders today don't realize that the founders also lived in dangerous times but they valued freedom and liberty over safety and security. They never said that the Bill of Rights should not stand in times like these. This lawsuit will determine whether we have a constitutional democracy or something like a Potemkin one.

Hedges's efforts may seem admirable, but merely constitute "fiddling while Rome burns"—about the only music one hears played these days. Experts such as James Lovelock predict that "global warming" will destroy most of the world's human population before the end of the century (to say nothing of wiping out many species), yet who cares? Hedges's efforts have about as much value as watching college basketball games—but at least the latter have some entertainment value.

So when a minister from the Laguna Pueblo Reservation west of Albuquerque invited her to follow a map someone had drawn for him on a napkin to a remote area of the reservation with pictographs, she leapt at the opportunity.
What she found changed her sculptures.
"It was an amphitheater with a huge dear painted," York said.
She estimated the pictographs were around 8 feet tall.
The image stuck with her.
"I wanted to give it new life in a sculpture," she said.
That sculpture turned into a series, and York began looking at other pictographs for her sculptures.
York will be presenting her sculptures from 5 to 8 p.m. on April 4 at the Sorrel Sky Gallery in Durango, Colo.
The gallery's marketing coordinator Margaret Hedderman said it is rare for the gallery to give an out-of-state artist her own show.
However, the gallery made an exception for York, who lives in Santa Fe, and decided to feature her in the annual spring show.
In 1994, York decided to visit New Zealand to look at Maori tattoos, which she later used in some of her sculptures.
While in the airport, she saw a Time magazine announcing the discovery of a cave in southern France with cave paintings. She visited the caves in the mid-1990s, and since then, she has based a lot of her horse sculptures off the cave paintings she saw there.
York's sculptures range in size from a few inches tall to monuments.
Throughout her career, York has won various awards.
However, she said the most important one was when she won first place — two different times — at the National Sculpture Society in New York City.
The first time, she won for a sculpture called Bridling a Pegasus, which depicted the Greek hero Bellerophon putting a bridle on Pegasus.
The second time, she won for her sculpture, called Postal Exchange, of two pony express riders during the hand-off.
York grew up on the East Coast, where her father was a woodworker. She was about 5 when she her father let her draw pictures of animals on pieces of wood. She then used jigsaws to cut out the animals and filed and painted them, making her first three-dimensional artwork.
In high school, a teacher had a centrifugal caster, which is often used to create jewelry and dentures. York began using the caster to make gold and silver miniatures. She won awards for her them, and a gallery owner began to display them.
York said she moved from to New Mexico in search of foundries — factories that produce metal castings. The East Coast had only a few that were in such high demand that they could not produce the casting quickly. When she saw that Santa Fe had five major foundries, she decided to move. Immediately, York said she identified with New Mexico and felt more at home than back east.
"It's amazingly mysterious and beautiful," she said.

Ministers' dithering leads to prisoner's paroleComment on this story
Johanensburg - The Minister of correctional services failed to decide yes or no, so the court decided for him – and opened a prison door.
On January 1, convicted murderer Cornelius van Wyk will be released from prison on day parole in terms of a Pretoria High Court order.
At the end of last month, Acting Judge André Oosthuizen ordered that the minister's "failure to take a decision" on Van Wyk's parole application was reviewed and set aside, and ordered that Van Wyk be placed on day parole from January 1, subject to normal conditions for day parole.
Judge Oosthuizen ordered the minister to pay the legal costs of the application.
The current minister is S'bu Ndebele, and, before him, the post was held by Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula.
Van Wyk was sentenced to three life terms in September 1994 for three killings in October 1991 in Makhado, Limpopo, when he was 20 years old and part of the ultra-right-wing National Socialist Partisans.
Correctional Services initially refused to consider his application for parole until Van Wyk brought a court action, resulting in a court ordering the department to deal with him under the parole laws which were in effect when he was sentenced, which allowed him to apply for parole after a shorter time in jail than current laws for lifers.
Parole is not automatically granted, but the law sets the terms for how long a prisoner must serve before applying for parole.
The parole board recommended his parole but the minister failed to make the final, legally required decision on this, so Van Wyk went back to court to demand merely that the minister make a decision. On August 28, the Pretoria High Court gave the minister a month to make a decision.
That yes or no was still not forthcoming by the time the deadline expired, so Van Wyk again returned to court, resulting in the current order. Changes in the ministry meant at least two ministers were involved.
Van Wyk's lawyer, Julian Knight, said the Leeuwkop parole board had recommended Van Wyk's placement on parole.
"The minister is going to have to explain to the court why he disregarded the court order of Judge Prinsloo in the first place. To my mind, his actions are symptomatic of the government's in general attitude towards the judiciary and orders of court," said Knight.
"The Department of Correctional Services has noted the content of the court order relating to Mr Van Wyk, and this matter is receiving necessary attention," Correctional Services spokesman Logan Maistry said.

A difficult task for teen drivers. Astros fans turn out. Pumping gas prices. Defending Dover against Neumayr and Aristotle. Plus much more.
Re: Lawrence Henry's Danger Street:
According to the quote from Mr. Henry's article describing his choice for a babysitter to care for his children, she's just the type of soul to whom I would entrust my children! Perhaps Mr. Henry should worry less about the rest of Ashley's friends and worry about her inability to plan ahead when she is watching his offspring!

I have an 18-year-old stepdaughter who has been driving for 3 years now. She has been involved in 1 accident already, she was impacted by the other driver encroaching into her lane. When I asked her why she did not see the other driver she stated she was distracted â€" 3 other girls in the car. And that seems to be the trend talking to other parents with daughters driving. The female passengers get into the passion of talking, the driver eventually succumbs as well and bam! That's when it happens, the driver is not watching the road. And yes I have told her that driving is a full time occupation from the time you enter the vehicle till you leave it.
Many of the towns here in Dallas-Fort Worth have curfews. But it does not seem to minimize the traffic accidents. Texas has a law that no driver with a learner's permit may have more than 3 people in the car. One of which has to be a licensed driver over 21. Much better I think that such laws be extended, that no more than two occupants of the vehicle till they are 18.
But as a parent about all you can do is worry and hope they get by with a scrape that triggers the epiphany that high speed metal is dangerous stuff.

Young teenage drivers will only be controlled when their parents grow up and choose to do so. This is a mindset that many parents have; that they have to be their teenager's cool friend. This is exactly why teenagers across the country are wrapping themselves around immovable objects. How many of us as parents have sat and waited to pick our kids up from high school and observed what young people are driving today.
Ford Expeditions, Mustangs, GM Tahoes and the list of high-cost vehicles goes on and on. These high powered and large vehicles are not owned by Mom and Dad, but rather they are their kid's vehicles that the parents bought for them at their sixteenth birthday. Gone are the days of junior driving and the old underpowered hand-me-down vehicle that went 50 miles per hour with a good wind behind it. Instead today Mom and Dad drives the older vehicle, because the poor little darling of a teenager couldn't be caught dead driving into the high school parking lot in anything less than a Mustang or Suburban.
The usual feeble excuse given by parents is that the reason we purchased an SUV for their child is, "We want our baby to be safe when they're driving." The problem with this theory is that these parents haven't seen their sweet innocent child with a cell phone jammed in their ear and the back filled with screaming friends blasting out of the local high school parking lot like an Abrams tank practically shoving or crushing anything in their path. If the parents do take notice it's usually done with a shrug and a nonsensical comment, "Oh honey isn't our darling child so cute and grown up."
If anyone would ask these, "cool parents" if they would allow their child to carry a handgun in the glove compartment of their child's vehicle to make the child more safe, the almost instantaneous response would be, "Hell no, no self-respecting parent would put a dangerous weapon in the hands of a child." These parents won't put a 4 lb weapon in the hands of their kids but instead they put a 3000 lb. weapon in their kid's hands under the guise of being more safe.
How many times have the media identified vehicle accidents with teenagers as, "SUV kills 3 area teenagers in late night crash"? It is, the blame always falls on the vehicle and not the driver. "Oh, no, she won't go to jail," Ashley kept saying as noted by Lawrence Henry. This young girl was so sure that her severely injured friend would bear no responsibility for the accident. Have we parents gone so far in one direction to shield our children from the harsh realities of life and its consequences that we literally assure them, "It's okay baby it wasn't your fault, it was that big old bad vehicle's fault that you wrapped around an oak tree last night and killed your friends." So junior takes a deep breath feeling all refreshed from being absolved of any responsibility and gleefully looks at mom and dad and promptly asks them, "Can we go to the auto dealership and look for another vehicle after Suzy's funeral."
We as a society don't need any more new laws named after dead children, no new ordnances, nothing other than the fact that parents should impress upon their teenagers that if you drive recklessly you could be killed and or severely injured along with your friends. Bottom line: Parents should stop trying to be their kid's friends and go back to being the parent. Try saying, "No" once in a while, it is an acquired habit. It will make your baby boo hoo and stomp around and pout, but at least your baby is alive to stomp and pout â€" and they will get over it like everything else in the life and times of a young teenager.
-- Melvin L. Leppla

To help prevent the higher proportion of teen, and in particular female teen driving deaths, Lawrence Henry proposes, "High-speed hazard driving courses for all drive-training students." To this idea I say, it's a nice sentiment and timely reminder of our powerful belief in "education" to solve ills but will prove akin to training one how to become expert at slamming the barn door after the horse has fled.
I drive 40,000 miles annually all over the southern third of Florida and witness daily the incredibly stupid acts of drivers, particularly the young, much too busy with other matters to drive. The preoccupation with everything under the sun but steering and focusing the eyes through the windshield is not so much an act of willful neglect or danger-seeking so much as just simple obliviousness to the world outside their air-conditioned, +300watt sound-pumpin' 'n thumpin' cabin.
A modern fighter jet's cockpit has been called the most stressful environment known to man due to the many aircrafts systems, informational and threat feedback devices that must be continuously monitored by the pilot at incredible speeds with his life depending on not missing a crucial bit of data that may provide him only a split-second to act, and act appropriately, or die. All the while he must also "keep his head on a swivel" lest he "lose sight, lose fight." Sounds a bit like driving a car in modern times with all of our self-imposed distractions doesn't it? But even a frontline air-to-air pilot doesn't face the sheer number of random threats approaching from all directions that a contemporary driver does today and if he has to break in any direction he doesn't risk being stopped by a utility pole, tree, or other stationary and immovable object, save the ground. So long as he has altitude he need only worry about a much less relative number of threats. With all that we try to do in a car these days while careening along the highway, I'd say the humble auto may have surpassed the fighter as the most stressful place.
And it's the young who are into the most modern distractions ranging from cell phones to gameboys to text messaging behind the wheel. The problem I think we see in the rising number of teen-aged driving deaths is a lethal combination of modern, relatively high-powered, fast accelerating cars, way too many distractions, alcohol and immature exuberance. It's all of a piece, the same immature driver who has virtually no to little road experience gets into a modern car easily capable of reaching +80mph quickly and proceeds to engage in many distractions from his ability to drive safely which is underdeveloped at best or nonexistent at worse.
No amount of strictly driving training and practice will save some drivers and those in their paths who have lost control of a vehicle going 70-90mph because she was chatting on her cell-phone, putting on lipstick, smoking a cigarette, adjusting the tunes, drinking a beer, doing whatever rap enthusiasts call "dancing" in her seat all while turned to talk and laugh with her friends at the crucial moment she should have had her hands on the wheel and eyes focused on the road ahead. Not that we know any of this about the girls in the story but I see all this and more going on in one driver's seat routinely. Add to the list, reading, writing, laptops, DVD players, grooming, and more. Adults are certainly not immune to this recent phenomenon either.
I don't profess to have an answer but until we get back to actually driving while we're driving I'd bet the trend amongst the young continues if not worsens.

I also read somewhere that the stats go up as the number of kids in the car goes up.
I remember choosing to drive my friends around because I couldn't stand having one of them drive. My parents preferred that, too. I seemed to have more sense and was less distracted while they were silly and talkative, especially if there were 2 or more in the car with me. My parents didn't worry about me so much when I was driving.
How many times have you sat at a stop light and looked over at a car load of girls and seen all the chit chat and primping in the rear view mirror?
Guys are less likely to drive around with more than 2 or 3 in the car. The 3rd doesn't want to sit in the back seat of a car or in the middle if it's a pickup -- it's dorky looking.

Re: Jay D. Homnick's Players at the Ball:
I just read your article on the World Series and want to thank you for being so gracious. I'm a native Houstonian, so you know where my allegiance lies. I've watched Houston teams choke so often over the years that I learned the Heimlich maneuver. Of course, there were the back-to-back NBA championships for the Rockets, but those will always have an asterisk noting that Michael Jordan didn't play those years.
I have to agree that win or lose, both teams are real champions. While I want to see the 'Stros win, if they lose, they will lose to a team just as deserving. I know the media is disappointed that New York, L.A., or Boston was involved, but to heck with them. These underdog teams are what make baseball great.
So again, I just wanted to thank you for such a great article.

I attended my first Major league game in the Astrodome when I was 12. The Astros won a doubleheader. After college, I took a job in Houston and went to quite a few games. I have long been an Astros fan. So imagine my dilemma. The White Sox have two stars who are Cuban refugees. Their presence on the roster is a thumb in Castro's eye. I desperately want to cheer for them. Oh, how do I resolve this?

Just for the record, I find no evidence that Roy Oswalt has ever been to Oklahoma; he was born and raised in Weir, Mississippi (well, actually, born in nearby Kosciusko -- I'm not sure there was a hospital in all of Choctaw County back in 1977) and still lives there in the off-season.
Apart from that one error of fact, and the judgment error of backing the wrong team in the Series (although I admit it's a close call), I enjoyed the article immensely. I expect to enjoy the Series even more, however!

Re: David Hogberg's Bob Morrish, RIP:
Thank you for honoring Robert's positive influence on the lives of his students at Justin-Siena High School for nearly four decades. Like you I appreciated his sense of humor, intellectual curiosity, and his commitment to his students. In 1962-63 I had the privilege of having Robert in class during his senior year -- civics/political science -- at Saint Mary's College High School in Berkeley, California. Saint Mary's and Justin-Siena are both part of the worldwide network of Lasallian schools associated with the De La Salle Christian Brothers (www.delasalle.org).

You continue to amaze me with your ignorance. There is not one sentence in the Constitution that says all branches should be ruled by one party. The way the Constitution reads is that the President nominates a person for the court and the senate votes on the nominee.
The senators are elected by the people and for the people. They better start acting like mature adults and showings some morals and Christian values.
Nor am I interested in the President's obligation and duty to nominate a 'pure" republican. What is wrong with an Independent? What's more, what has Miers done to piss you off? Don't you owe her respect and due process? Hasn't her civil rights been violated by you and all the other commentators? Right now, I would vote for anyone who has a high school education, acted their age and didn't sleep through high school civics.

Re: Christopher Orlet's Martial Stupidity:
Christopher Orlet is dead on target (Martial Stupidity). As the proverb has it, Napoleon's horse campaigned across Europe, but after fifteen years was still only a horse. But we need not go so far back as Andrew Jackson or Ulysses Grant, or Bonaparte's horse.
In 1991, the overly revered Colin Powell argued for delaying use of force to liberate Kuwait. When he had to plan the campaign, he proposed a drive into Kuwait on a narrow front, "hey diddle diddle, straight up the middle," stopping when Kuwait's northern border had been reached. It was the "draft dodger" Dick Cheney, then SecDef, who, together with his equally civilian defense intellectual assistants, rejected Powell's plan and set in motion the plan that led to Schwarzkopf's "Hail Mary" flanking movement and the collapse of Saddam's army. At which point, General Powell again intervened to prevail upon Bush I to give us a premature ceasefire, and all that has followed for the next dozen years.
Or perhaps I can mention General "Weaselly" Clarke, Scourge of the Serbs, whose troops are still "bogged down" in that mission.
I have "been there" (RVN 1969-70 -- signed SF 180 available if John Kerry provides his), and I would far prefer to be led by a draft dodger, alleged or genuine, with military sense, than a Professional Pentagon Ponce who merely looks good in his Class A's, and knows how to get along.

Re: Doug Bandow's Pumping Gas Prices:
I am getting sick and tired of hearing how the people of this county are spoiled by learning to live on cheap prices over the last 20 years.
I worked my butt off for 30 years at cheap wages. I have been retired on that cheap money for 10 years, and if I could afford to buy a new high mileage car I would do so. But with the high cost of medicine and other inflation I am now in the position of falling off of the cliff. I served this country for 5 years in the military and I have paid on my GI Insurance for 50 years for a small sum of $10000. This is just about enough for my wife to bury me without much left over. Maybe it is enough to buy gas to drive to the cemetery. I hope to high Heaven when you retire, people will write about how you were spoiled on cheap gas or whatever.

You have to wonder whether the politicians who advocate energy price controls are either:
A. stupid
B. willfully stupid
C. missed the lecture on price as a function of supply and demand in Econ
D. all of the above
Answer how you will -- it's probably D. That said I must point out that Senator Cantwell was a former senior executive with RealNetworks a dotcom darling which one could argue benefited from an excessively bloated stock market in the latter half of the 1990's. I am curious whether the good Senator believes that her takings as part of RealNetworks IPO and subsequent sales in the public market, should be subject to a windfall tax? After all many small investors were "gouged" on the basis of artificially bloated share prices. Or, was it simply supply and demand?

What is so upsetting about $3.00 for a gallon of gas? Milk is $5.00 a gallon. Bottled water is $7.00 a gallon. If they raised the price of Jack Daniels -- now that would be upsetting!
Of course, if "Big Oil" is actually making obscene profits, why don't the pols suggest to their constituents to buy stock in ExxonMobile or Royal Dutch Shell? The pols might also investigate themselves for gouging the taxpayers with 45-50 cent taxes per gallon.

Re: George Neumayr's Kangaroo Court:
In his editorial "Kangaroo Court" on October 20, George Neumayr states: "The ACLU has gone from defending teachers to prosecuting them. In a federal courtroom this week, the ACLU argued that science teachers in the school district of Dover, Pennyslvania, are not free under the Constitution to question evolutionary theory."
Mr. Neumayr is confused. The facts of the case are that the Dover Area School Board ordered the district's science teachers to suggest to their students that "intelligent design" is a legitimate scientific alternative to evolutionary theory. The teachers refused, on the grounds that misleading students isn't in their job description. No teachers are defendants in this case.
Unfortunately, Mr. Neumayr's confusion doesn't end there. For instance, he castigates reporter Laurie Goodstein for saying that "intelligent design" is "no more scientific than 'astrology.'" If Mr. Neumayr were to actually read the court transcripts, he would discover that Goodstein's words were taken almost verbatim from the testimony of the lead scientist of the "intelligent design" movement. Mr. Neumayr goes on to garble the difference between positive and negative arguments in science. Perhaps such mistakes are understandable: from his editorial, Mr. Neumayr's idea of good, up-to-date science seems to be Aristotle.
I couldn't figure out exactly what the point of Mr. Neumayr's editorial was. Apparently, it was to sneer at the "elite"-- meaning, I guess, biologists, philosophers of science, religious scholars, high school science teachers, reporters, or-- well-- anyone who actually knows what they are talking about.
I always thought it was the job of magazines like The American Spectator to keep their readers informed and educated. It should bother the readers of this magazine that its executive editor seemingly isn't even interested in educating himself.
-- Brian Spitzer

I guess I don't get it.
I was trained as an evolutionist at a Catholic college, graduating in the '60s. At the time a gradualist approach to speciation was accepted wisdom. Somewhat later, with the vague acceptance a scientific explanation of meteor collisions being consequential in the extinction of "dinosaurs" (admittedly not accepted by everyone) some evolutionists modified evolutionary theory to, maybe, admit that there were these "gestalt" evolutions consequent to catastrophic cosmic events [i.e., unexplainable jumps from one species to another, far different one].
Now, some scientists are trying to say that a bedrock philosophy of gradualist evolution has been consistent since, at least, the Scopes trials. Don't they read the literature? If Stephen Jay Gould was still with us, I'd tell him to call his office. Maybe some of these so-called 'scientists' on the high school textbook payroll ought to go back to school and study the History of Biology.
Intelligent Design conforms to the same scientific observations as the catastrophic gestalt theories do. The only sticking point seems to be that some pseudo-scientists hate the idea of a God and will go to histrionic lengths to refute it. That's their privilege, but it ain't science.
-- Bob R.
My, what a firestorm Neumayr has unleashed with his article! Anyone who knocks evolution or homosexuality seems to inspire the wrath of the self-righteousness on the left side of the aisle (and a few from the right). Why is it these people froth at the mouth every time their pet theories are questioned? Make a comment about homosexuality being unnatural and they rise up with the hatred mantra; speak against evolution and they cry "ignorant fool". Just who is the ignorant fool here and the hatemonger? The answer is quite obvious. All you have to do is read the responses to anyone who questions either issue. Froth on thou fools and ingrates, your wailing and gnashing of teeth only expose you for the kind of people you are. One only has to look around at society today to see what kind of legacy your beliefs have left us. Keep on plugging away Mr. Neumayr, you are right.
-- Pete Chagnon
"...The ACLU argued that science teachers in the school district of Dover, Pennsylvania, are not free under the Constitution to question evolutionary theory."
While you and I differ completely about the validity of evolutionary theory, I would like to point out that your statement omits to mention that the science teachers in the schools argued against the actions of the school board. They then refused to read the statement about evolution to the science classes and school administrators had to do it. Thus, the coercion of the school science teachers came from the school board, not the ACLU. The science teachers were not clamoring for the ability to teach about "Intelligent Design."
As someone who has read all of Dr. Behe's books and knows something about biochemistry, I would like to let you know that his assertions about the blood clotting system, the flagellar system, the immune system, and the development of the eye have all been convincingly refuted. While he still argues these points, he really can't respond with any scientific analysis other than to say: "I can't imagine how this came about, so it is irreducibly complex." I don't expect to convince you of this, since it is clear that you have a strong contrary opinion. I just regret that the present battle in the culture wars is being fought about science.
-- Nebraska Reader
I have never seen an interesting debate on price gouging without an exact definition of what is too much profit. Draw that line anywhere and you get into interesting territory. Why is it that people think there should be an upper limit on profit and no upper limit on taxes? What do we do about the businesses that sell fuel at little or no profit to get people to spend money on other items in a nearby store? There are some folks who think that ought to be illegal too.

Re: David Haddon's Child-on-Child Crime and the "Defending Hogwarts" letters Flat Truths, the "Proverbial Potter" letters in Those Trojan Horses, and the "Dirty Harry" letters in The Devil's Details, and the "Potter's Christian Joy" letters in Wie Was Robbed:
Let me get this straight. Expressing concern over the Harry Potter books makes one a kill-joy, erstwhile "good" Christian, Milton-less, Tolkien-phobic ignoramus who doesn't really understand Christianity. All this in response to a three sentence reply where I expressed sympathy for the original author based on the incivility and personal attacks of many of his critics. I've gotten my daily dose of irony.
The crux of the matter is that a segment of Christians desperately wants to Christian Harry Potter, another wants nothing to do with him and a third is unconvinced but skeptical. Count me in the latter group.

Loader Hire
Loaders are often viewed as the carry of a project as they literally transport or load material from one vehicle or area to another form of machinery.
What this means in practical terms is that a loader will be able to lift and transport any form of material such as asphalt, demolition debris, dirt, logs, raw minerals, recycled material or rock and move it onto either conveyer belts, dump trucks or similar.
Loaders can also be known as bucket loader or front end loader, among other names, and is essentially an engineering tractor with a front mounted square wide bucket or scooper. There are also numerous attachments that can be applied to a loader such as forklifts or bale grapplers.
Loaders are not restricted to construction sites with many loader hire companies offering mini loaders ideal for small scale projects.
Loader hire companies are prevalent in Australia with demand being high in both cities and regional areas due to this style of equipment being applicable to both construction sites and farming. When deciding on the size of the loader you will require, take into account the longevity of the project, how many tons you will need to transport and how many people are working on the project.

If you are a fan of college basketball, you'll know that we are entering those few weeks of the season before conference play when the absolute cupcake weeks of the schedule happen. Until Saturday, no ranked team plays another ranked team, making for a boring week of basketball. If you have the patience to wait until Saturday, however, you are in for quite a treat. Here is the listings of quality matchups for Saturday:
#10/10 North Carolina @ #2/2 Texas - 2:00 PM
Xavier @ #21/17 Butler - 2:00 PM
#15/15 Gonzaga vs. #7/7 Duke - 4:00 PM
CBS - Game Played in New York City
Portland @ #24/21 Washington - 10:00 PM
all times Eastern.
The only reason I am including the Portland game is that they are one of those teams that you need to prepare well for and watch because if teams just brush them off they will come out to get you. Just look at the Anaheim Tournament, which earned them a spot in the AP Top 25 for one week.
Also, keep watching out for Temple in the future. They've got #1/1 Kansas coming in on Jan. 2, and that should be a pretty good game. They are in the area of 28-30 in both polls, so we could end up with a matchup of ranked teams. The A10 always has some sleepers in it, and by the way Temple beat Villanova and was close to taking down GTown, don't sleep on this team.
Early Saturday Picks:
Texas over UNC*
Butler over Xavier in a very very close one.
Duke over Gonzaga
Washington over Portland
*I am picking Texas here, but if there is a team that is going to get upset this weekend, I think that this is the game where we will see it.
My Pick Stats:
Overall: 5-4
Conference Games: 0-0
Ranked vs. Ranked: 0-1
Ranked vs. Unranked: 4-1
Unranked vs. Unranked: 1-2

Ready-To-Drink Tea: Opportunity Or Challenge?
Ready-To-Drink Tea: Opportunity Or Challenge?
It's no secret many beverages are loaded with sugar that can lead to tooth decay, obesity and other serious problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Many also lack nutritional benefits, such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. That's why many health-conscious consumers have turned to ready-to-drink tea, which is projected to garner $5.3 billion in U.S. sales this year according to IBISWorld.
Depending on which variety they choose, tea can be loaded with beneficial catechins, polyphenols, flavonols and glycosides, and can contain far less caffeine than coffee or energy drinks. Yet, until recently, ready-to-drink tea also contained high amounts of sugar to offset the bitterness caused by the way it was processed. That's because for the past two decades, ready-to-drink tea was formulated and packaged at soft drink plants, which meet federal regulations for high-acid drinks. When tea follows the same assembly lines as high-acid beverages, manufacturers alter the pH of the naturally alkaline tea—which most do by adding ascorbic acid—and add sugar or other sweetener to counter the negative flavor effects of this process.
How Has The Industry Changed?
Now, companies seeking to appeal to premium tea drinkers are considering alternative formulations and, as a result, must consider different ways to process their products. Aseptic processing enables the production of high-quality, ready-to-drink tea while cartons help preserve the original brewed tea quality and render it to be shelf-stable for up to a year without the need for preservatives.
Aseptic processing provides flash and gentle heat treatment, which is equally effective with high- and low-acid products, Aseptic cartons keep oxygen and light away from brewed tea, maintaining more of its healthful properties. Japanese tea giant Ito En, which uses aseptic cartons for some of its higher end teas, is moving into the U.S. market and could be a trendsetter.
Tetra Pak Vice President of Marketing and Product Management Suley Muratoglu discussed how to appeal to high-end tea drinkers in a recent Web Packaging article.
A few of his suggestions include:
- Sell a Cultural Experience - Companies shouldn't overlook the opportunity to tap into the desire, particularly of Millennial shoppers, to feel worldly and cultured. These tea drinkers know their oolong from their Darjeeling, and packaging and marketing should be short on ingredients and long on history and culture to connect with this aspiration.
- Consider Value-Added Tea Products - Kombucha and the less well-known Jun are two fermented tea products that hold health allure even beyond regular tea. What's more, non-tea steeped drinks such as rooibos, ginseng and elderflower are growing sales in the tea space. In addition, fruit-tea hybrids are burgeoning, far beyond the standard lemonade-black tea blends. But don't forget to minimize added sugars to stay on trend.
Learn more about the opportunities and challenges for ready-to-drink tea.
Ready-to-drink Tea Market Projected To Grow Substantially
Innovative RTD teas are a good investment for beverage companies given the stats: over half of Americans, or 158 million of us, drink tea on any given day. And about 85 percent of it is iced, which is why ready-to-drink tea sales have grown more than 15-fold in the past 10 years. This comes from the Tea Association of the U.S.A., which has a fact sheet that makes a compelling case for drinking the beverage. No wonder IBISWorld projects the ready-to-drink tea market will grow by 3.3 percent this year.
"It's the fastest growing segment," noted a Tea Association executive last fall in World Tea News. He went on to describe how the market has tripled to $3 billion over the last 15 years. With consumers seeking beverages that offer convenience, health benefits and flavor, tea purveyors have an opportunity to increase their shares of the ready-to-drink market.
Who Drinks RTD Tea?
While consumers of all ages appreciate the convenience of a grab-and-go beverage, this is particularly true for Millennials—especially the youngest members of that generation, according to Sterling Brands. Notably, college students appreciate ready-to-drink tea, because they don't have to prepare it, notes World Tea News. Still, Sterling Brands projects the greatest market growth possibilities come from Baby Boomers because many of them are remaining active and paying careful attention to their health—a development that also relates to another trend explained in our story Grow Food And Beverage Sales With Nutritionally Enhanced Foods, which highlights the nutraceutical and probiotic trends.

Petite Ex Girlfriend Shows Off Her Goodies
Yummy. I'm diggin' this little chick. Actually, I really prefer women with curvier hips, but I like the petite factor much more, where the lack of hips really doesn't bother me at all. I mean, I love the tiny titties, what looks to be a tight pussy and that little ass, plus she's pretty sexy, overall. She's definitely the type of girl I have my radar set for. Especially if she's sitting in a skirt, pantyless, like in picture #5.
El Deuce submitted these pics of his sexy, nude ex girlfriend. He says she was a pretty cool girlfriend, for the most part. She liked sports, she liked to party and she loved sex. All the main ingredients were there. The problem was that she was just always there; at his place or at his side, wherever he went. He felt smothered and everytime he tried to get her to back off a bit, she would get upset and all insecure. Eventually, he realized the only way out was to cut her loose, once and for all.
