Hi Rupaji, I would like to tell you that I am very big fan of you and knowing the fact that some parts of our lives are somehow similar to each others makes me feel very connected to you. I would like you to know that the strength you have takes a lot to have. I have been through very similar phase in my life as you have ( not in terms of divorce). But the strength I had to gather to get myself out of that took a lot so I totally understand what you must have gone through. Just know that regardless of what there is always god and don't worry about who is there or not god will ALWAYS Be there for you. God bless you :)
Welcome back to screen Roopa !!

text: Rape Victim's Mom Rejects Judge's Apology State may appeal the light sentence By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Aug 29, 2013 6:01 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (40) (Newser) – The mother of a 14-year-old rape victim said a Montana judge was just "covering his butt" after he apologized for saying her daughter was "older than her chronological age." Auliea Hanlon spoke as protesters in Billings demanded the resignation of Judge G. Todd Baugh over the controversy, which began when Baugh ordered former teacher Stacey Rambold to spend just 30 days in jail for raping the girl. Baugh said the girl, who later committed suicide, was just as responsible as her teacher. The 71-year-old tried to ease the ensuing firestorm with an apology, but "he wouldn't have said anything if people hadn't spoken up," says Hanlon. "He didn't reverse his decision, so it's irrelevant." A legal review of Monday's sentencing suggests Rambold may have gotten off too easily. The review determined that if Baugh had applied the proper section of state law, the defendant would have received a minimum of two years in prison, according to a memo sent by Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito to the appellate division of the state Attorney General's Office. The state has 20 days to appeal the sentence. Auliea Hanlon, mother of the victim, receives a hug from a supporter during a Thursday rally in Billings calling for the resignation Judge G. Todd Baugh.

Hotels in Western Lakes + Mountains
The lodge offers prime views of tree-lined Moosehead Lake, with northern section of the Appalachian mountains in the background. In summer, there are opportunities to fly fish, canoe, or even go on a moose safari within minutes of the lodge.
Though it isn't as hyped as the coast, inland Maine is spectacular, with thousands of lakes and ponds, acres of cool pine forests, and countless small, uncrowded towns where "the real Maine" is still found.
Frost Mountain Yurts offers a year-round outdoor escape in western Maine, complete with an unusual setting that's devoid of modern conveniences like electricity and running water.
Try a classic sporting camp stay in one of the 18 cabins (meals are served in the main lodge), which has a sandy lake beach.
Located in the western Maine town of Bethel, this Broad Street Historic District inn offers opportunities to golf in the summer, watch the leaves change color in the autumn, and ski, dogsled, or snowmobile in the winter at the nearby Sunday River Ski Resort.
One of Maine's larger ski resorts features eight interconnected mountains and 743 acres of trails. Sunday River's Boundary-to-Boundary policy encourages additional off-trail exploration, as long as it falls within the property's expansive perimeter.

There's a new push to save the world class collection of art that's housed inside of the DIA. But you won't find picket signs or crowds, this campaign to save the DIA's art from being sold is one you can log onto. Art critics from across the country are calling it "Day for Detroit".
More than 15 art-focused blogs and websites like "Art F City", "Bad at Sports" & "Two Coats of Paint" are joining forces. The plan, to draw attention to the possibility that the city-owned art could be sold to help disintegrate Detroit's bankruptcy.
Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr announced last week that representatives from Christie's auction house would be returning to appraise works at the DIA. Orr has said there are no plans to sell art, but nothing is off the table. That's why on Wednesday, these sites & blogs are relying on catchy - like "selling detroit museum art to pay civic debt is dumb" to catch your attention. They'll post pictures and articles about what *could* be lost. These lovers of art believe the more that people start thinking about what's at the DIA, the more concerned they'll be.

Water: Middle School
Exercise II. Stream Discharge
VocabularyBefore you begin this exercise, take a minute to write down the definitions of these terms.
Stream discharge:
Cross-sectional area:
On your watershed page (http://cfpub.epa.gov/surf/locate/index.cfm), click on "Search by Map" and click on your state. Scroll down under the "State profile" title, to the subtitle called: "Information provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS)."
Look for the link called "Real-time Streamflow data" and click on it.
This link takes you to a USGS Web page where you can view graphs of stream-flow information for streams in your area.
Part A
Locate your river basin (it should be a bold subtitle such as "James River Basin" or "York River Basin")
Find a familiar location, or check with your teacher to find a location close to you. Click on the 8-digit number next to the gauge site near you. (There should a short description such as, "Madison River near West Yellowstone MT" or "WIND RIVER NEAR DUBOIS, WYO")
This page lets you make a graph of discharge from the stream. Under "Available Parameters" select "Discharge." Under "Output" select "Graph." Under "Days" change the number of days to 30 by typing the number into the box provided. Usually a graph can be provided for information collected for the previous 31 days.
Check out the option to download a presentation-quality graph.
Print out a presentation-quality graph from the Web site.
1. Does the graph have any sharp increases or decreases? What might these mean?
2. Does the graph have gradual increases or decreases? What might these mean?
Part B
Repeat the steps in part A but this time choose a gage location upstream or downstream (on the same river) from the first gage location. Print out a presentation-quality graph for this gage also. Compare the two graphs.
3. Do you see any relationship between increases and decreases in water flow on the two graphs?
Part C
Identify a small stream that leads to your river (or identify a larger river that is downstream of you). Print out a discharge volume graph for this river and compare it with your graph from part A.
4. Which graph shows a larger discharge?
5. Can you find anything on your graph that might indicate that a drought or a flood has taken place?
Part D
Return to the "Surf Your Watershed" page for your watershed. Just below the Stream Flow link is a Water Use link. Click on this link to see a listing of water withdrawals and returns from various sources.
Uses of Fresh Surface Water in the United States
6. In your watershed, what water use withdraws most of the water?
7. In your watershed, what water uses return water that could possibly contain pollutants?
8. Look at the water use data for watersheds upstream and downstream from where you live. How do water uses upstream and downstream of the river differ?
9. How can water use upstream affect water use downstream?
The average person in the United States uses 70 gallons of water per day. Usually 2.5 quarts of that water is for drinking.
The United States uses 100 billion gallons of water per day to irrigate crops.

Leechburg Garden shooters sentenced to life in prison
Two men have been sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty in a spring 2011 shooting at the Leechburg Gardens apartment complex in Penn Hills.
Thaddeus Crumbley, 34, of Turtle Creek, and Matthew Ebo, 28, of Homewood, were sentenced by Judge Beth Lazzara on Nov. 28 to life in prison after being found guilty in the May 16, 2011, shooting death of Todd Mattox.
Crumbley and Ebo were found guilty in a jury trial that ended Sept. 4.
Prior to his arrest on the charges stemming from the Leechburg Gardens homicide, Crumbley was both a shooting victim and the target of an additional homicide charge.
Swissvale police responded on June 2, 2011, to a Milligan Street apartment where they discovered a wounded Crumbley, according to Allegheny County police Lt. Andrew Schurman.
Crumbley was arrested the same day on charges that he shot and killed Wilkinsburg resident William Clark, 39, on Nov. 13, 2010, on the 7300 block of Frankstown Avenue in Homewood. Those charges were withdrawn, however, when witnesses failed to show up for a preliminary hearing, according to Pittsburgh police.
Ebo is no stranger to the courtroom, either: in addition to last week's conviction, there are two active drug cases pending against him, according to county court records, and he was convicted in 2008 on drug charges stemming from a 2006 arrest.
On top of the life sentence on the homicide charges, Lazzara tacked on an additional minimum of 48 1⁄2 years on underlying charges including robbery and firearms possession.

It's the Mountain Meadows Massacre all over again.
Ugly is what "supply side economics" has done to the general population of the United States and World to enrich a few oligarchs.
It happens in some places, acid throwing.
Obama is well liked, Romney is the one no one likes. Romney the ugly girl throws acid on the pretty girl to reduce her own ugliness disadvantage.
Ann Romney, wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, said her husband's campaign will not release any additional tax returns to the public ahead of the election.
"We have been very transparent to what's legally required of us," Romney told reporter Natalie Morales, according to excerpts from NBC News. "There's going to be no more tax releases given."
Defying a longstanding trend among presidential candidates, the Romney campaign has only released a single -- and likely incomplete -- tax return. Politicians and pundits from both sides of the aisle have been pressuring Romney for weeks to disclose more of his tax history, culminating with a claim from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) two weeks ago that he'd heard from an early investor in Bain Capital that Romney didn't pay any taxes for a decade. Romney has denied that claim.
Ann Romney said that releasing more details on the family's taxes would merely give the Obama campaign "more ammunition." The Romneys' wealth is rumored to be as much as $250 million, and since much of Mitt Romney's earnings come from investments, he would pay a lower effective tax rate than many lesser-off Americans. But as for whether the campaign is trying to withhold embarrassing information, Ann Romney told NBC "there's nothing we're hiding."
Mitt Romney used a tough new campaign speech to personally blast the Obama campaign on Tuesday, saying comments earlier in the day from Vice President Biden are "what an angry and desperate presidency looks like."
"Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago," The visibly desperate and angry Romney said hatefully while campaigning in Ohio.
If you knew Joe Biden, you'd know that his mouth has a mind of its own, but he is just a super guy! He's probably the most fun guy to have ever held the office of Vice-President of the United States. Plus, he has excellent taste in women. His wife, Jill, is gorgeous and a total class act. When Barry picked Joe after the "clean/articulate" comment, it showed that they share a great sense of humor. And having a buddy in your corner who can help you laugh off a lot of stupid crap can be a big effin' deal.
I think the big difference from past Prez races is that for the first time a person running for office will literally lie about just about anything. Normally, this is left to over zealous aides and 3rd parties. It really looks like Romney is not up for the job. How can a person expect to deal with others when he personally says what he says. There is a big difference when an adide says something vs. when the person running says something. It is really a character flaw in Romney that could impact everyone. Can you image what he'll do with foriegn policy?
Romney has not learned that in the big league of dirty campaigns he has to keep himself clean and have deniability,
He is all mucked up with his own mud, smears, vo-mitt and confused by the dirt of campaigning.
The democrats delegate beyond 4 degrees of separation their dirty work and try to build deniability walls.
Mr. Obama is unsoiled. Smiles and charm, addressing the issues, campaigning and governing is all you see.
Romney is outclassed, he looks like a weak out of shape amateur old man who landed in a track by accident and has to try to run the 100m dash against Usain Bolt.
According to a report in the Daily Rash, during his interview with Reverend Al Sharpton on MSNBC last night, Mitt Romney's reaction to Sharpton's murder accusation is causing quite a stir: http://www.thedailyrash.com/mitt-romneys-rope-a-dope-with-al-sharpton
Pretty funny, Laura.
What are you wearing?
Pretty funny, Laura.
What is your zodiac sign?
Do you have blue eyes?
Is this the best R & R can do? I thought everyone said that the selection of Ryan was going to elevate the debate to a real discussion of the future economic direction of the country. I guess they haven't had time to tell Romney what that might entail.
Look. The "chains" metaphor is an answer to Romney's "Restore America" campaign pledge/slogan. We all know what that means. Restore the America of 1957 when Blacks and Chicanas and Chicanos were back in their place. When LGBT were back in the closet. When women were back in the kitchen while the middle class white men were at corporate jobs like Romney or feeding at the public trough like Romney's father and Ryan without competition from minorities and women.
That's the America Romney wants to restore and everyone knows it. And for some that is tantamount to being put back in chains.
I'm not sure this is the argument Romney should have right now. It won't expand his base.

Make roads safer!
IN ADDITION to the repeated call for the introduction of breathalyser testing in Barbados, a call has been made for a national audit to ensure that the highways and byways of the island are roadworthy.
This observation was made by President of the National Council for the Prevention of Alcohol and Drug Dependency, Pastor Victor Roach, during a service to remember those who lost their lives in accidents or were otherwise affected by these tragic incidents over the years.
His comments came at the True Vine Church of God in Christ yesterday as Barbados joined the rest of the world to commemorate World Remembrance Day for Traffic Victims.
Pastor Roach, who revealed that he narrowly escaped death or serious injury back in 1987 after being involved in a collision with a drunk driver, told the congregation that he will continue to advocate the need for breathalyser testing in Barbados.
He stressed, however, that problems on our roads have to be addressed holistically and pointed to the need for a national road audit to ensure that the roads meet the standards that promote health and safety.
In addition, Pastor Roach wants greater police manpower to adequately deal with challenges on the road and he is urging motorists to use seatbelts, cyclists to use their safety helmets and pedestrians to pay greater attention when using the roads on the island.
He noted that while the road to getting the breathalyser being introduced has been a long one, he stated that God is overseeing this matter, pointing to steps being taken by neighbouring Trinidad and Guyana the latter of which has already started using the test.
Pastor Roach said that with 1.2 million people dying worldwide from crashes annually, Barbados 20 persons may seem low in comparison. He warned however, that the total number of persons who perished in these accidents does not paint an accurate picture of how many people who suffer as a result, be it a relative, the wider community or even a workplace. He also urged the congregation to think about the first responders who are also traumatised by their tragic accidents.
He noted that along with the grieving process, of which many people are unable to cope, some persons lose their faith, they lose marriages and even develop post traumatic stress disorder. He made an appeal for persons to get serious about the topic and reduce the number of accidents and crashes on the nations roads.
The third Sunday of November is the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. Initiated by RoadPeace in 1993, this day is now globally recognised. On 26th October 2005 the UN General Assembly on 26th October 2005 urged all member states to recognise the third Sunday in November of every year as the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims as an appropriate acknowledgement for victims of road traffic crashes and their families.

Hess and the war in the West
I've been wondering what increasingly prolific historian Earl Hess has next on his plate. Unfortunately for me, it is not his history of Burnside's East Tennessee campaign (please let that be next). Instead, next spring we'll get The Civil War in the West: Victory and Defeat from the Appalachians to the Mississippi (UNC Press, March 2012). That's a pretty massive subject to tackle from one side, let along both, and maybe difficult also to come up with something significantly new to say. I'll be interested enough to find out.

Hello DrewReplyDelete
Thanks for the update on Prof. Hess's next project. I think that book is part of the Littlefield series from UNC. The first book in that series, Disunion - Varon is a wonderful book.
Like you I'm looking forward to the study of the Burnside Tennessee campaign book. I hope this is his next project.

Sex is a pain killerIt is well known that sexual arousal and orgasm produce endorphins — our "feel good" factor. Endorphins are known pain killers, but they are not the principal factor. Oxytocin, the latest culprit in sexual healing, has become the new pet for scientists studying sexual responses in humans. This chemical is also thought to be at least partially responsible for bonding between partners. This has also been observed in animals, and sheds some light on monogamous and polygamous animals (and humans).
In numerous studies, oxytocin has been shown to increase pain thresholds by up to 115% — that's why when you get your butt slapped during sex play, it doesn't hurt like it should.
Sex reduces depressionThere is a quip that is not particularly funny: Depression or sex? Choose. Depression often leaves men devoid of sexual desire, and antidepressants are the biological killers of sex drives. A 1999 study found that sex hormones are secreted at different rates; testosterone production is decreased in depressed men.
However, according the American Psychological Society, men (and women) who have sex regularly can ward off depression simply by getting active in the sack. Exercise in general makes us feel good and boosts mood. It regulates appetite and hormones, and because of the increase in oxygen and nutrients in the brain, it has a normalizing effect on the entire body. Exercise (and, therefore, sex) reduces the amount of cortisol in the brain, which is the chemical responsible for stress. Oxytocin, another important chemical involved with sexual arousal and orgasm, increases feelings of intimacy, which can ward off loneliness and sadness and help us feel closer to our partners. It also reduces stress and tension.
A recent study in Australia found that depressed women have more sex more often (both single and in relationships), and include more bells and whistles in their copulation (foreplay, between-play and after-play) than their happier counterparts. This was thought to be due to the increased intimacy during sex that made the women feel better, albeit temporarily.

As a student at Fossil Ridge High School, the rumor regarding a potential act of school violence on Dec. 21 is extremely concerning, as I feel it should be. Although principal Dierdre Cook declared the rumors unsubstantiated, the thought is no less daunting. I cannot help but wonder, what if?
I will admit I have even considered the possibility of simply not attending school next Friday, the prophesied day of the worlds end. Our principal may be correct that the rumors are indeed unsubstantiated, but that single word provides no security. The sad truth is that no one could have predicted the Columbine massacre of April 20, 1999. This shooting is the fourth-deadliest mass murder committed on a school campus in United States history and remains the deadliest for any high school. Coincidentally, the location of Columbine High School just so happens to be extremely close in proximity to Fossil Ridge, just more than 70 miles.
These matters must be handled with tremendous seriousness and caution, because obviously a school shooting is not as far-fetched as the administration is making it out to be. If the rumors spread further and students become more and more disturbed, I may decide to call in sick that day.
Kierra Vaughan,
Fossil Ridge High School student

Back when Facebook rolled out its new timeline feature, the Mountain View social juggernaut received a chorus of disapproval along with (mostly) empty threats to leave the site altogether. This time, it's Twitter making changes and, although the new style hasn't exactly been an instant hit, it's big news for businesses who have long faced the limitations of the old school profile pages. The new profile designs began rolling out back at the beginning of April, and are now available to all users. Even if your account hasn't been chosen, you can jump the queue by opting into the new design here. So why should you make the effort to upgrade before you're pushed? Here's our breakdown of the benefits for online brands and businesses.
The Pros
Tweets with images receive 150% more retweets than those without, that's just one stat that illustrates why Twitter is moving toward a more visual format. The first big change you'll notice is the header image: it's substantially larger at 1500 x 1500 pixels, and as a result takes up more real estate on the profile page. This is your chance to sell what your business is all about, so use it wisely. Twitter has provided a gallery of header images for those struggling to find one of their one, but I strongly recommend investing some time in creating a unique, emotive image for this space.
Next up is the profile image, again this is a larger 400*400-pixel size, but it retains the same square proportions as the old layout. When you upgrade, check how your current image displays. If you need to upload a larger version, don't worry too much about getting the exact pixel size, as Twitter will resize your image automatically. Nice touch, Twitter.
Last, but certainly not least, is a greater emphasis on photos and videos. These are given a new grid view and highlighted strongly across the profile design. This enhancement makes it much easier for followers to discover the photos and videos your brand has shared, even if they were shared a long time ago…
This redesign is focused on giving brands and businesses more control than the general twitter user. As a result, profiles are becoming more of a destination in themselves and we, as businesses, get lots of new toys to play with! Filtered tweets are probably my favorite aspect of the redesign, and a feature that will be a true asset to business profiles. This feature separates the @replies from the main feed. The benefit to your business is that it removes customer service tweets from the main view and gives new visitors to your profile the tweets that speak to them, rather than other consumers.
Last in our run down of the pros are pinned tweets. This is one feature brands will love as it gives businesses the control to curate their own content and choose which posts they want to stand out. If you're familiar with pinning a post to the top of a Facebook brand page, you'll quickly get to grips with pinned tweets.
The Cons
Businesses will love pinned tweets; we're just not so sure they're going to feel the same about best tweets! Best tweets are tweets that are automatically chosen for prominence due to the amount of engagement they receive. Now stay with me while I play devil's advocate for a moment here. This could mean that a tweet that sparks, or responds to, a negative situation could receive much more prominence than desired by a PR or marketing department.
I'm afraid custom backgrounds haven't survived the redesign! Although you can tweak the color theme on your profile (this effects the hue of text and outlines), the main background defaults to a light grey, much like, you guessed it, Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest!
Lists are one of Twitter's most underutilized features. They allow you to keep track of accounts without having to follow everyone in your main feed, and if you're anything like me it can get pretty crowded! In this update, lists are still hidden under a drop down menu, giving no real impetus for brands to look at these in a fresh light, unlike favorites where the spotlight shines brightly…
5 Ways to Rule the Redesign!
The new design has a real focus on your visual content, so make sure it reflects well on your business. If you have any stray gifs or off-brand videos, now is the time to quietly delete those tweets!
Favorites sit in a strange no man's land between the like button and a 'save so I can read later' button. With the emphasis they're given in the new design, now is the time to make a real decision about how to use this feature. Whatever you decide, make sure you stick to it, and that you are happy with everything on your favorites list.
Your profile picture says who you are, but your header image tells the story. Make sure you take advantage of this massive branding space to tell yours.
Odds are you haven't changed your profile image in quite some time. It happens so infrequently in my own timeline, that a change from one person can leave me wondering who it is that I'm actually following. But you don't have to change your branding; all you need to do is check that it works with the new larger dimensions, so you know your users are still getting the best experience.
Do this correctly, and all your customer service replies will slot nicely into the filtered view, focusing on the content you want to show. Get it wrong, and you not only waste this feature, you're also (unwittingly) annoying your followers.Here's how it works. Start your tweet like this and you pass the test: @customer Hi how can we help you?
However, start your tweet like this and you are practically begging to be unfollower: .@customer how can we help you? Why is this so bad? By adding anything in front of the @customer, you instantly make that tweet show up in all of your follower's timelines. This is incredibly annoying when it comes to customer service tweets — just try following a brand for more than a day that does this. Of course, there may be times you want to make something public, so if someone says how amazing you are, you can use anything you like in front of the @username to make sure your followers see you responding to your hard-earned endorsement. For example:".@blogger loves our latest product, check out her review www.exampleblog.com/review "

She's cute!

Super cute girl with big tits and interesting nipples gives good head, and then accepts a hard asshole fucking. She shows a thick analy creampie which drips down onto her pussy and then onto the bed.
my wife is a whore she fucked 35 guys before me
She can do me anytime anywhere anyplace. She is so sweet, nice tits and clit ring. Anal should not be painful, you got to take your time and lube up, first time use rubber lubed up good. my wife and I enjoy anal all the time
she is average at best and she didnt seem to enjoy it much she needs to do alot better acting and he needs shut the fu.K up and let her voice and moans be the only thing you hear
It was great to feel a personality with the girl especially, made it more real. I also felt he sounded like he had genuine concern when penetrating her. Didn't find anything strange or unusual about the sounds he made while unloading, just had a great experience.

Not bad. The guy is a tool. Turn off the audio. Nice body on her though.
Cute chick, got me hard as a base-ball bat!

Lmao she a thot
I love cumming in girl's asses! Feel so good!

You have insulted my sword, prepare to taste it's cold wretched steel!
CHIVALRY: Medieval Warfare is a first-person medieval online combat game that seeks to deliver the intensity of epic hollywood medieval block busters to the hands of a gamer. CHIVALRY hurls the player into a fictional medieval world where the Agathian Knights are battling against the newly formed Mason Order for control of the lands of Agatha.
Media update showcasing the visual improvements of the game mostly focusing on the environment known as Battlegrounds.
Posted by Tibberius on Sep 12th, 2011
Hey guys, been a while since our last update but we've gone through a series of changes on the game that should allow us to reach a much higher production quality for the release. This time its a short update on how the environments are shaping up and some brief glimpses of the combat system in action.
We know that you guys are all excited to see a gameplay video and learn more about how the combat will look and feel in the new game. We are working towards making that happen and we're just clearing some polish before we're ready to show off the new combat and animations in a gameplay video.
We've also launched a brand new website over at www.ChivalrytheGame.com that has much more information on the game and exclusive screenshots so be sure to let us know what you think of it on our forums. And be sure to check back next weekend for another update. Here's a sneak preview:
Also, if your a programmer with unrealscript experience and an interest in the project, go ahead and send us an email over to firstname.lastname@example.com with your resume and any relevant work experience, we're looking for you!
You have insulted my sword, prepare to taste it's cold wretched steel!
Looking very sexy guys :D. Will be getting this once it's out.
My gosh...those graphics are genuinely AAA-quality! The only thing I can think of to suggest at this point is to add DirectX 11 support, as I'd LOVE to see what some tessellation, Boek DOF, and compute shaders would do for the look of the game!
There will be plenty of Dx11 support if I have anything to say about it! (There already is a little bit of it tucked in, but it's not a priority obviously. It's the kind of thing you squeeze in towards the end.)
Glad to hear this! I'd hate to see this game ruined because too much time was spent on next-gen graphics. ;)
Aww Yeah! you guys are really taking this game to the next level. It looks awesome, good work!
Ohh I agree with Expack! tracked
awesome, can't wait
Battlegrounds used to be ******* boring, now its shaping up to be a great map thanks to the changes and new weather.
Also, something tells me it should be raining, is it? and if it is will you add a subtle touch where we hear rain plinking against metal?
At long last an update! Great news! I like the new website also :P

The size of a shoebox, a mysterious bronze device scooped out of a Roman-era shipwreck at the dawn of the 20th century has baffled scientists for years. Now a British researcher has stunningly established it as the world√¢'Ǩ'Ñ¢s oldest surviving astronomy computer.√ǬÝ
A team of Greek and British scientists probing the secrets of the Antikythera Mechanism has managed to decipher ancient Greek inscriptions unseen for over 2,000 years, members of the project say.
"Part of the text on the machine, over 1,000 characters, had already been deciphered, but we have succeeded in doubling this total," said physician Yiannis Bitsakis, part of a multi-disciplinary team of researchers from universities in Athens, Salonika and Cardiff, the Athens National Archaeological Museum and the "We have now deciphered 95 percent of the text," he told AFP.
Scooped out of a Roman shipwreck located in 1900 by sponge divers near the southern Greek island of Antikythera, and kept at the Athens National Archaeological Museum, the Mechanism contains over 30 bronze wheels and dials, and is covered in astronomical inscriptions.
Probably operated by crank, it survives in three main pieces and some smaller fragments.
"(The device) could calculate the position of certain stars, at least the Sun and Moon, and perhaps predict astronomical phenomena," said astrophysicist Xenophon Moussas of Athens University. "It was probably rare, if not unique," he added.
The rarity of the Antikythera Mechanism precluded its removal from the museum, so an eight-tonne 'body scanner' had to be assembled on-site for the privately-funded project, which used three-dimensional tomography to expose the unseen inscriptions.
The first appraisal of the Mechanism's purpose was put forward in the 1960s by British science historian Derek Price, but the scientists' latest discovery raises more questions. "It is a puzzle concerning astronomical and mathematical knowledge in antiquity," said Moussas. "The Mechanism could actually rewrite certain chapters in this area." "The challenge is to place this device into a scientific context, as it comes almost out of nowhere… and flies in the face of established theory that considers the ancient Greeks were lacking in applied technical knowledge," adds Bitsakis, also of Athens University.
The researchers are also looking at the broader remains of the Roman ship—believed to have sunk around 80 BC —for clues to the Mechanism's origin. One theory under examination is that the device was created in an academy founded by the ancient Stoic philosopher Poseidonios on the Greek island of Rhodes. The writings of 1st-century AD Roman orator and philosopher Cicero—himself a former student of Poseidonios—cite a device with similarities to the Mechanism.
"Like Alexandria, Rhodes was a great centre of astronomy at the time," said Moussas. "The boat where the device was discovered could have been part of a convoy to Rome, bearing treasure looted from the island for the purpose of a triumph parade staged by Julius Caesar."
The new findings are to be discussed at an international congress (www.antikythera-mechanism.gr) scheduled to be held in Athens in November.

The Chicago teacher strike, which has kept more than 350,000 students out of the city's classroom for three days, has scuttled plans for Mayor Rahm Emanuel to address the Municipal Forum of New York on Friday.
The mayor had planned to make a presentation to the luncheon at the Yale Club, talking about his city's finances.
The event has been rescheduled to Oct. 5, according to a spokesman for the group.
The combative mayor, and former chief of staff to President Barack Obama, may have met his match in the teachers' union president in Chicago, the New York Times notes today — "The only way to beat a bully is to stand up to a bully," leader Karen Lewis explains.

What are these markings used for? My first guess was it was for grip placement? how does the weight tie into this. Is this weight subtracted from bike weight if your grips are within that particular line?

Kim Stanley Robinson's latest novel, Forty Signs of Rain, is a convincing story of weather disasters in the not-too-distant future. Already a Hugo and Nebula award winner for The Years of Rice and Salt and his Mars trilogy, Robinson pulls his latest tale straight from the headlines. As a result of global warming, the Arctic ice shelf is melting at an alarming rate and millions of coastal dwellers are in danger.
At the center of the action are Charlie and Anna Quibler, a typical Washington, D.C., power couple. Charlie is a stay-at-home dad who works part time as a science advisor to a popular senator, and Anna is a full-time researcher for the National Science Foundation. Charlie and Anna are struggling to get the government to take global warming seriously while the administration's only concern is surviving the next election.
Anna's co-worker, Frank, is a scientist who prides himself on his emotional detachment, but he loses his comfortably distanced view of the world when he meets a group of Buddhist diplomats from a low-lying island nation. The monks blow Frank's mind by pointing out that a single-minded devotion to one aspect of life (such as science) makes the mind unbalanced. Frank is unexpectedly open to this life-changing idea.
Forty Signs of Rain is all about balance, whether it's love or work, spirituality or politics. There are flood warnings throughout (beginning with the Biblical reference in the title) but the blinkered D.C. politicians won't pay attention until the rising water is lapping at their doorways. Robinson skips between the domestic, scientific and political spheres without missing a beat and delivers a hot-topic page-turner that leaves the reader gasping and stranded at high tide, eager for the next book from this science fiction master. Gavin J. Grant writes from Northampton, Massachusetts.

FRENCH. France was given a claim to Texas by the explorations of René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle and his establishment, in 1685, of La Salle's Texas Settlement. In 1700 Louis Juchereau de St. Denis made an expedition up the Red River, and in 1714 he crossed Texas from Natchitoches, Louisiana, to San Juan Bautista on the Rio Grande in an attempt to open an overland trade route with the Spanish in Mexico. Later at Natchitoches he traded with Indians of the Red River and East Texas area. In August 1718 Jean Baptiste Bénard de La Harpe established a trading post among the Caddo Indians in the area of present Red River County. He and his party entered a bay on August 27, 1721, which they thought to be San Bernardo but was probably Galveston Bay. Hostile Indians forced La Harpe to withdraw. Another French trader at Natchitoches, Joseph Blancpain, also engaged in trade with the Indians of Texas until his capture in 1754. In April 1817 the French pirate Jean Laffite set up a "republic" on Galveston Island. His settlement grew to more than 1,000 persons, reached its peak of prosperity in 1818, and was abandoned early in May 1820. In 1818 a group of Napoleonic exiles under Gen. Charles Lallemand attempted to make a settlement at Champ d'Asile, on the Trinity River near the site of present Liberty, but the settlement had to be abandoned because of food shortages and threats from Spanish authorities.
On February 14, 1840, a commercial treaty was made between France and the Republic of Texas, and with the making of the treaty French interest in Texas increased. A French chargé or minister was sent to the republic, and plans were made for sending French colonists to Texas. One such plan, the Franco-Texian Bill, proposed sending 8,000 French soldiers to the Texas frontier. The bill was introduced in the Texas Congress in 1841 but failed because of popular opposition. Snider de Pellegrini, director of a French colonization company, arrived with fourteen immigrants at Matagorda in July 1842, but his efforts to found a colony failed. The most successful of French colonization projects was that of Henri Castro, who in September 1844 founded Castroville, west of the line of the frontier. From 1843 to 1846 Castro brought a few more than 2,000 immigrants to Texas and was instrumental in establishing Quihi, Vandenburg, and D'Hanis. Victor Prosper Considérant founded, near the site of present Dallas, a socialistic colony named La Réunion, which flourished briefly in the middle 1850s but ultimately failed because of poor soil, inexperienced farmers, poor financing, and too much unsocialistic individualism.
The French who came to Texas in search of better social, political, and economic conditions contributed to the state in extending the frontier and in encouraging cultural development. The census of 1850 showed 647 French-born men in Texas; that of 1860 listed 1,883. In 1930 the census showed 10,185 persons of French nationality in the state. In 1990 there were 571,175 people of French descent in Texas.

I open my eyes and feel the gentle warmth of the sun flowing in through the window and brushing my cheeks. I then close my eyes almost automatically. I wasn't in my room, nor do I think in my house, I was in some other place I have not been before. I barely open my eyes and look back and forth from one side to another moving my head slightly. I sit up instantly, eyes wide and panting.
"Carson! It's okay!" I hear one voice from the right side as the hands of the same person gently pushing my chest back down onto the overstuffed blue bed. "Relax Carson!" I slowly lay back down onto the bed and look around the odd looking room. I have two sheets of blanket on top of me. One a thin white material and the other a more thick and blue one. The walls in the room are a baby blue and the roof a deep white with a single light. I see my father standing up beside me, a chair behind him. He has a frown on his face, not mournful, but worried.
"Where am I?" I say with a weary voice, not understanding how simple the room was and what an easy question it was.
"You're in the hospital Carson."
"Why? What happened to me?" Eyes widened awaiting the response.
"You were walking around town one night, you didn't see the car, so you stepped off the sidewalk and onto the road, someone.. standing near, ran out and pushed you away from the car, and only had a minor concussion and some scraps.."
"What happened to the person? Who was it?"
"Carson, I'm so sorry, it was Ashley.. She didn't, make it.." A slight frown appeared on his face knowing what would happen next. I turn away and press my face into the blue, padded pillow, staining certain spots with the tears streaming down my face.
"No, no! She couldn't have died!" I cry. "She couldn't have!" My heart knows it is real, but my mind says it is just a dream. I know it is real, but sometimes you don't want to believe the truth. . . . . . .
The next few weeks were rough. I stayed steady with school, but I wouldn't go out of the house with friends, or go anywhere. I just stayed home to do homework and I started going on the computer much more often. There wasn't anything other to do, so I found myself on the computer after homework each night. I just sat in class all day listening to the teacher, at school breaks during the day, I sat inside and ate my lunch the whole time. I didn't eat as much as I did before, and I lost my body shape by not exercising. I wasn't not eating because I didn't want to, I just found myself full sooner than I would be before.
All the food tasted the same. Nothing tasted sour, nor sweet, good, nor bad, just all the same. I didn't have much in my lunch, just a balony sandwich, juice, an apple, and a cookie. I obviously don't eat it all, i usually throw out half of the sandwich and most of the apple. Things are hard for my dad, he is divorced, and out of work right now. He used to work at a steel company, but it closed down. He says he's trying his best to find work, but it's hard right now.
"Have a good day." My dad is so encouraging. I roll my eyes while I walk out the door.
"I'll try." I say under my breath sarcastically.
During lunch I was sitting at my usual table, minding my own business, and some guy walks up to me, with his "Cool Gang Followers" right behind. "So, Carson, how's Ashley?" A spark flew through my veins and into my legs to throw me up from my seat. "She doing okay? You guys got a good relationship?" Snickering to his buddies behind him. "Think I got a chance?

Description: DC's mean roommate Jason Hawke discovers DC's hair gel, and uses some himself. Jason goes out for a walk and finds blond twinkie Christian Owen, who takes Jason back to his place for a fuck. There is some concern about Christian's boyfriend coming home, and sure enough, in the middle of some cocksucking, Ryan Scott walks in. Jason uses his powers from the hair gel to convince Ryan that he should join in, and soon we have a threeway. Ryan bottoms for both men here, and Jason gets his ass plowed as well. They engage in a chain fuck, with Christian fucking Jason and Jason fucking Ryan. What's great about this scene is that they guy I pegged as most likely to bottom is the exclusive top in this scene.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) - The first two funerals for victims of last week's school shooting are under way in Connecticut.
Six-year-old Jack Pinto was a big New York Giants fan. Noah Pozner was the same age and liked to figure out how things worked mechanically.
Family, friends and townspeople streamed to two funeral homes Monday. In front of one where relatives were mourning Noah, well-wishers placed two teddy bears, a bouquet of white flowers and a single red rose at the base of a maple tree.
At Jack's service, hymns rang out from inside the funeral home.

klove After Arnhem our next stop was Den Haag and we also booked the local Stayokay there. Since we couldn't really enjoy our stay at Stayokay Arnhem we were worried to face similar problems again, but we were glad to see that the Stayokay Den Haag was way cleaner than its Arnhem equivalent. The service was very friendly and helpful. The beds and room were clean and the hostel is centrally located. Unfortunately, it took 20 minutes by car to go to the coast, but that was alright. A minor con is the minimalistic facilities of the rooms which seems to be the case for all Stayokays.

Roky Erickson
Roky Erickson is an American treasure, and his first album in 14 years is a not-so-subtle reminder that his relevance hasn't waned. Produced by Will Sheff and featuring his band, Okkervil River, True Love Cast Out All Evil is a heady mix of psychedelia, pop, and ambient experimentation. On tracks such as Crazy Horse–inflected "Goodbye Sweet Dreams" it sounds like Erickson is baring his soul, but there is melody amid the catharsis, most notably on swirling sing-alongs like "Ain't Blues Too Sad." Thankfully, instead of slick production, these moments are recorded in lo-fi, making it sound as if you're standing next to Erickson as he conquers his demons.

Saw this today in the local newspaper:
New Maine laws kick in Sept. 20
Drivers must also pay closer attention to bicyclists. A new law says motor vehicles must give cyclists 3 feet of clearance when passing. It also clarifies that motorists may cross the center line in no-passing zones in order to pass bicyclists, if it's safe to do so.
I'm in the process of finding out if New Hampshire has a similar law. If not, I'd like to get involved in helping something similar get passed. There are no penalties defined, but it certainly seems like something injured cyclists could use to help their cases in court, and as a focal point for raising awareness about cycling.
Now, if only the highway department could be mandated to give cyclists 3ft of road shoulder...

Faith-based exercise class offered at St. Stephen's Church
An exercise class focused on Jesus at St. Stephen's Church in Sewickley accomplishes three goals with one activity, says leader and church member Gail Southern of Ohio Township.
The idea to start PraiseMoves came to her after she taught a Bible study class focusing on helping women discover where and what God wants them to be doing now.
They came up with three overlapping circles — exercise, fellowship and worship.
"I thought, 'There's no way, these things can be related,'" she said.
But, God had other ideas, she said.
Southern, a veteran exercise class participant, began searching the internet and found a PraiseMoves site. Six months later, she was enrolled in a certification class in Monroeville.
Although Southern said she has done many such Bible studies, she has never felt she was directly spoken to by God.
It was different this time.
When she first started the class four years ago, she was a "nervous wreck," and had never taught anything to anyone before. But, that changed.
"I know this is where I'm supposed to be and what I'm supposed to be doing. I found out I was able to do things I didn't think I could. I didn't think I could teach and motivate these women, but the feedback I get is that they really like the class," said Southern, mother of Cassidy, 13, and Jackson, 10, who she brings to class periodically.
Not only do instrumental Christian hymns play in the background, but every move is linked to a Biblical Scripture.
Southern gives an example of the eagle pose where participants lean forward with their knees bent and their arms outstretched behind them to work the quadriceps and triceps.
As they are posing, Southern will recite a Scripture, Isaiah 40:31, "Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength and rise up with wings as an Eagle."
As she is speaking, participants have the opportunity to meditate to the verse. Exercises are gentle and low pressure, and there is no kind of competing with other participants in class. It is not a cardiovascular class, but is more structured for gentle stretching and strength training.
The first 15 minutes involves warm-up walking. Usually, about 5 to 10 women participate. There is no commitment to pay for a certain number of sessions. Women, who often bring their children, can come and go as they please.
The first class a new participant tries is free.
Sue Pulkowski of Leet Township said she loves and class and has been attending for more than two years.
"It's very relaxing, and the Bible verses give you time to reflect and time to praise God with our bodies. Gail is an awesome instructor and makes it fun. And, I'm definitely more flexible," she said.
Pulkowski said she also enjoys the fellowship.
"The women who come are all very kind and nice and all interested in each others lives and welcome the new people, too," Southern said.
Southern is registered with the worldwide program and pays an annual fee. She also pays to rent a room at St. Stephen's.
The cost for each class is $6, but she said she doesn't keep track. For those who are having a rough time financially, Southern said they don't have to pay.
"I have a basket that people put money in. I don't keep track of who pays and who doesn't. I don't want money to be a stumbling block to coming," she said.
One women whose husband lost his job kept coming but didn't pay for awhile, and another woman who lost her job brought Southern items from her garden.
Southern said participants don't have to be St. Stephen's members and don't have to be Christians. She only has two rules in class — "If it hurts, don't do it, and smile and enjoy yourself."

Last night's episode was delicious. As Tammy predicted, Allie and Roxanne couldn't handle a non-sales task. Allie broke every rule in the book. She ignored the needs of the customer (the hotel employees), she dismissed her teammate's ideas, and she pretended to know more than the design expert. Plus, she was just plain rude and obnoxious.
The weird dynamic between Allie and Roxanne was fascinating. Roxanne knew Allie was wrong to go with skirts instead of pants for the front desk workers, but the friendship prevented her from putting up a fight. Roxanne seemed shocked by the way Allie treated the designer, but she kept her mouth shut once again. Meanwhile, Allie treated Roxanne like she wasn't even part of the team. Some friend. I wrote a story about being friends with your employees a couple of years ago, and the general rule of thumb seemed to be that if you can compartmentalize the different facets of your relationship, it can work out. But that's incredibly hard to do. Obviously, Allie and Roxanne are not mature enough to handle a complex relationship.
Lee and Sean, on the other hand, struck the perfect balance between having fun, being pals, and getting the job done. They have a good relationship, but there's a healthy amount of distance...they weren't hugging and kissing every five seconds like phony Allie and Roxanne.
Relationship dynamics aside, Gold Rush had the clear advantage. Sean obviously has good taste, and Lee didn't do so badly either. Even though Sean was the style guru on the team, he had no problem taking Lee's suggestions regarding design and fabric. That's a sign of a good leader. Lee's biggest contribution was listening to the hotel workers and realizing that they didn't want a drastic change or trendy uniforms. They just wanted to be comfortable and look nice. Sure, Gold Rush's designs weren't exactly cutting edge, but the fabric was breathable and the clothes were well suited for all different body types.
The same cannot be said for Synergy's ridiculous designs. As Ivanka pointed out, not many women would look good in Synergy's puffy-sleeved get-ups. I was getting uncomfortable just looking at the material. I can't imagine changing sheets and vacuuming in such a tight-fitting, synthetic fabric. And why did Allie decide to break the mold by putting the cooks in khaki? Didn't she stop to ask why cooks always wear white? She clearly missed the whole point of the task, which was to win over the staffers. The outfits belonged in a B movie about hotel workers, not real life.
Needless to say, I was very happy that Sean and Lee won. (I felt terrible for Sean when the women returned from the boardroom and proceeded to tear apart Tammy. I don't know if it's just an act, but Sean really seems to have a thing for Tammy. I'll have to keep an eye on them at the finale party.) The reward was pretty great, the next best thing to having dinner with the Donald himself. Ivanka and Don Jr. seem like nice people.
The same cannot be said for evil Allie and Roxanne, especially after the boardroom massacre. I wasn't surprised at all by the fact that they ripped each other apart. Allie clearly deserved more of the blame, but two nicer people might have figured out a way to get around the slugfest. Remember when Lee helped prep Lenny for the boardroom, and defended him vehemently? If the women had any sense, they would have figured out that the Donald admires loyalty (most of the time, at least). When he tried to pit them against each other, they should have stood their ground and shared the blame. That was their only chance at survival. Instead, they attacked each other like two angry dogs. In the end, the Donald made the right choice by firing them both. I'm only shocked they made it this far. I was also surprised by the taxi cab confession. The fact that Allie and Roxanne could switch from attacking one another back to the best friends routine shows how phony they really are. Good riddance!
Even though this season's contestants have been the worst yet, Sean and Lee aren't bad. I could see either one of them turning into the next Bill Rancic. I guess we'll find out in the next couple of weeks!

Introduction: Somatic mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) are associated with a marked therapeutic response to EGFR–tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Clinical indicators of the likely survival benefit of EGFR-TKI treatment in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations have not been identified, however. We therefore evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) according to tumor response and tumor shrinkage pattern in such patients.
Methods: Among 145 EGFR mutation–positive NSCLC patients treated with EGFR-TKIs, 68 individuals were selected for analysis.
Results: Of the 68 selected patients, 6 achieved a complete response (CR), 42 a partial response (PR), and 14 stable disease (SD). Both PFS and OS were significantly longer in patients who achieved a CR or PR than in those who experienced SD. Multivariate analysis showed that a response (CR or PR) to EGFR-TKIs was significantly associated with both PFS and OS. Among the CR/PR group, the median maximal tumor shrinkage relative to baseline was 56%, and the median time to response (TTR) was 4.2 weeks. The subsets of these patients who experienced rapid tumor regression (TTR of ≤4.2 weeks) or a high degree of tumor shrinkage (≥56%) did not show a more favorable PFS or OS compared with those who experienced slow tumor regression or a low degree of tumor shrinkage.
Conclusion: Response (CR or PR) may represent the optimal surrogate for efficacy among EGFR mutation–positive NSCLC patients treated with EGFR-TKIs.
