text: Q&A: David Deutsch on faster-than-light neutrinos and creativity Science 26 September 11 by Duncan Geere David Deutsch Oxford University's David Deutsch is one of the pioneers of quantum computing, having been the first person to formulate a description of a quantum Turing machine in 1985.Since then, he's also thrown his weight behind the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, written two books, and waded into the philosophical end of his field to try and make some headway into the implications of quantum computation.Wired.co.uk spoke to Deutsch as part of a tour promoting the third season of science fiction series Fringe, which is out now on Blu-Ray and DVD, courtesy of Warner Home Video. He discussed the implications of CERN's faster-than-light neutrinos, his knowledge-centric view of the Universe, and how creativity is the bottleneck of science, not funding or resources.Wired.co.uk: CERN's recent faster-than-light neutrinos seem unlikely, but if the results are replicated and validated, then what does that mean for science, broadly? David Deutsch: This question is being asked the wrong way round, both by the press and, as far as I can tell, by many physicists. This is not a matter of 'likelihood' or any other subjective concept. Science is objective. And in my view we cannot take *any* experimental results seriously except in the light of good explanations of them. So we need explanations first. Where we have good, testable explanations, they then have to be tested, and we drop the ones that fail the tests.The neutrino results do make existing explanations unsatisfactory, but that is not very exciting in itself, because that includes all sorts of parochial explanations about things like the properties of the outgoing detectors, and the accuracy of the GPS, and thousands of other such things. So, those who wish to explain the results by questioning the accuracy of GPS now need to produce good, testable explanations of what is going wrong with GPS, or with the way that the experiment used it etc. Those who wish to question the theory of relativity need to do exactly the same in regard to the structure of spacetime. As far as I know, there exist no good explanations of the latter type at present. The closest I've seen are ideas about neutrinos taking shortcuts through higher dimensional space, but those seem to be refuted by observations of supernova neutrinos, so they won't work as explanations.The implications for science broadly cannot be known until we have an explanatory theory that explains the results. If it changes fundamental theories, the change may or may not be big.How about more specifically in quantum computing? There's no reason to believe that quantum computing would be affected by even a very profound change in theories of spacetime or elementary particles, because the enormous speed and other unique attributes of quantum computations are not achieved by taking physical quantities, such as the speed, energy, angular momentum etc of atoms, to extremes.Low temperatures are needed, but even they do not have to be extremely close to absolute zero. Rather, what has to be extreme is the engineering tolerances, the subtlety of the design, the isolation of the quantum computer's memory from the outside world, and so on.Assuming things remain sub-light-speed for the time being, where are we at right now with quantum computers? How far are we from mass-market availability -- and what would that mean for humanity? I stuck my neck out a few years ago with a prophecy that it would be only a matter of years, rather than decades, before the first computer capable of performing non-trivial quantum computations would be built in a laboratory. If we take 'years, not decades' to mean 19 years or less, I haven't made a fool of myself yet... Quantum computers will only be faster for certain applications -- such as cracking codes, and simulating other quantum systems. These will be tremendously useful and will revolutionise some fields, but in the big scheme of things they will not be revolutionary. Less revolutionary than, say, the internet, I guess. The big impact will be philosophical, because understanding how they work will make the classic equivocations and mystical evasions used to deny the existence of the quantum multiverse untenable.

During a lunch break, on route to Nimbasa City, Ash and co. encounter a Roggenrola when it wrecks Cilan's carefully planned table settings much to his dismay. Ash decides to catch it and notices it has a small electrode on its back. As it turns out Team Rocket is harnessing the power of Roggenrola's Flash Cannon to make a super laser cannon. Will their plan succeed? And after that, will Ash manage to get a new Pokémon?
Episode Plot
Cilan has made lunch, but a Roggenrola bounces onto the table, ruining the lunch. The Roggenrola appears very upset, trying to warn the gang of a danger, but Ash thinks it would be good to catch it, so he throws the Pokeball at it, but the Roggenrola frees itself. Ash sends his Oshawott to fight. Ash orders him to use Aqua Jet, but the Roggenrola attacks him, knocking him out. Cilan notices that Roggenrola has a strange thing behind its back.
Ash sends his Tepig and orders it to use Tackle, but Roggenrola is not hurt by the attack, so he uses Flame Chrage to damage Roggenrola. Roggenrola deflects and uses Stone Edge to defeat Tepig. Roggenrola goes away, while Ash, Iris and Cilan go to the Pokémon Center to treat it. Meanwhile, Roggenrola tries to warn the other Pokémon, but they hear a strange noise from the nearby mine. A machine is taking the Roggenrola!
The Pokémon Ash used are treated. A man appears, discussing with Nurse Joy about the pipes - they are fixed, but the water from underground is stirred up. The gang mentions that they saw a Roggenrola, which Joy finds unusual due to Roggenrola living under the earth. The man and the gang go to search the reason for the trouble. They find the Roggenrola, but they also notice that Team Rocket is taking the Roggenrolas to power their machine up. They flee and block the passageway, but Ash gets the Roggenrola before collapsing. Iris brings Excadrill and Cilan his Pansage to dig. They get out of the cave using the tunnel and follow Roggenrola who leades them to the abandoned building.
Team Rocket is surprised they followed them. Nevertheless, Jessie brings her Woobat and it attacks with Air Slash, but Tepig uses Ember to defeat Woobat. The machine grabs the last Roggenrola, but Tepig (whom Ash brought out) uses Ember and the arm is cut. Team Rocket fire the cannon, but Roggenrola counterattacks. Nevertheless, Team Rocket use their cannon, but find it is overloaded, so the Roggenrolas free themselves. James brings his Yamask and it uses Night Shade and Woobat Air Slash. The Roggenrolas use Solar Beam, Tepig Ember and Ash's Pikachu Electro Ball, but Team Rocket depart on their jet packs. After the battle, Nurse Joy checks the Pokémon.
The Roggenrola at the beginning catches Ash's attention and goes outside - it wants a battle. Ash sends his Tepig and the battle begins - Ash orders the Tepig to use Flame Charge, but Roggenrola uses Stone Edge, knocking Tepig out, but not defeating him. Roggenrola is about to use Solar Beam, but Tepig uses Flame Charge to attack Roggenrola. During a moment, both Pokémon try to attack, but Tepig uses its strength to knock Roggenrola out and Ash throws the Pokeball, catching the Roggenrola!

prev | next
(a) In General.— If the Secretary of Transportation finds that a trade route determined to be essential under section 50103 of this title cannot be successfully developed and maintained and the Secretary's replacement program cannot be achieved under private operation of the trade route by a citizen of the United States with vessels documented under chapter 121 of this title, without further aid by the United States Government in addition to the financial aid authorized under titles V and VI of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, the Secretary, without advertisement or competition, may—
(1) have constructed, in private shipyards or in navy yards, vessels of the types necessary for the trade route; and
(b) Amount of Charter Hire.—
(1) In general.— The annual charter hire under subsection (a) shall be at least 4 percent of the price (referred to in this section as the "foreign cost") at which the vessel would be sold if constructed under title V of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, plus—
(A) a percentage of the depreciated foreign cost computed annually determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into consideration the current average market yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the Government with remaining periods to maturity comparable to the term of the charter, adjusted to the nearest one-eighth percent; and
(c) Option To Purchase.— The charter may contain an option to the charterer to purchase the vessels from the Secretary of Transportation within 5 years after delivery under the charter, on the same terms and conditions as provided in title V of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, for the purchase of new vessels from the Secretary. However—
(1) the purchase price shall be the foreign cost less depreciation to the date of purchase based on the useful life specified in subsection (b)(2);
(2) the required cash payment payable at the time of the purchase shall be 25 percent of the purchase price;
(3) the charter may provide that any part of the charter hire paid in excess of the minimum charter hire provided for in this section may be credited against the cash payment payable at the time of the purchase;
(4) the balance of the purchase price shall be paid within the remaining years of useful life (as specified in subsection (b)(2)) after the date of delivery of the vessel under the charter and in approximately equal annual installments, except that the first installment, which shall be payable on the next ensuing anniversary date of the delivery under the charter, shall be a proportionate part of the annual installment; and
(5) interest shall be payable on the unpaid balances from the date of purchase, at a rate not less than—
(A) a rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into consideration the current average market yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the Government with remaining periods to maturity comparable to the average maturities of the loans, adjusted to the nearest one-eighth percent; plus
(d) Operation of Vessel.—
(1) Permissible voyages.— The charter shall provide for operation of the vessel exclusively—
(C) on a round voyage from the west coast of the United States to a European port that includes an intercoastal port of the United States;
(D) on a round voyage from the Atlantic coast of the United States to the Orient that includes an intercoastal port of the United States; or
(2) Domestic trade.— The charter shall provide if the vessel is operated in domestic trade on any of the services specified in paragraph (1), the charterer will pay annually to the Secretary of Transportation that proportion of 1/25 of the difference between the domestic and foreign cost of the vessel as the gross revenue derived from the domestic trade bears to the gross revenue derived from the entire voyages completed during the preceding year.

After eating some of the flesh from the stomach of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox: Kurama, Kinkaku, like his brother Ginkaku became "pseudo-jinchūriki" and gained abilities similar to those of a normal jinchūriki of the fox would have.
Version 2
While enraged, Kinkaku can access a massive amount of Kurama's chakra stored within him, enough to enter a more muscular six-tailed version of Naruto Uzumaki's Version 2 forms. However due to the fact that the brothers only have a portion of the chakra and not the beast itself within them, unlike Naruto's six-tailed form, it lacks the fox's skeletal structure and Kinkaku retains his consciousness.[1]
The power displayed by Kinkaku when he was in this form revolved mainly around its abnormally long middle tail. With it he could smash entire cliffs to pieces and agitate the ocean enough to create waves. Defensively the cloak can block a torrent of kunai and explosive tags, Darui's Double Black Panther technique, and a wave of Fire Release, Water Release, and Earth Release attacks, deflect Chōji Akimichi's Human Bullet Tank, and break out of the Shadow Imitation Technique.[2][3]

Greenville -- Jeff Charles, "voice of the ECU Pirates", went into emergency surgery for colon cancer in early December. Three major operations and more than a month later Charles is back at home in Greenville continuing his battle with cancer.
On Thursday afternoon a very healthy looking Jeff Charles received a surprise visit by the folks at 107.9 FM who have been gathering signatures on a huge banner for the 25 year radio and television veteran. Since being out of the hospital Jeff has gotten lots of support from the "Pirate Nation."
Jeff says he still has an uphill battle with another scheduled surgery and chemotherapy treatment but he says it's days like today that make him proud to be a Pirate.
Jeff spoke on camera to WITN Sports Director Billy Weaver.

During this time, I have come to believe that expressing and accepting one's self fully, be it understated or outrageous and everything in-between, improves well being, decreases fear and changes lives for the better. Thank you Ari, for all that you do to transform and positively impact how our culture views aging.
My approach to style and the bitter cold began in my home state of Minnesota, known for its intense winters. I currently live in Denver, which offers a much more gentle climate. Though winter makes an appearance, spring-like days interrupt the season. However, my love for winter coats and jackets remains fully alive, and over the years I have acquired a mostly vintage collection of both. I look forward to the self expression that they provide. Choosing a coat or jacket, and accessorizing from head to toe to match the temperature is a strategy that keeps me warm and satisfies my love for composing outfits, no matter the season.
Maxi skirts, faux fur and turtlenecks provide insulation and I look forward every year to wearing boots. Layers, layers, layers! With each piece making its own statement. There are unlimited opportunities to approach the cold with creativity, accessorized with the warmth of humor!

May 6, 2016
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- No. 1 North Carolina captured its sixth straight win Wednesday night with a 7-5 win over visiting Liberty (18-16).
Junior Colin Moran paced the offense with his team-leading eight home run of the year, an opposite field grand slam in the fifth inning that pushed the Tar Heels (31-2) in front, 5-1.
Leadoff man Brian Holberton reached four times on the night as he was 2-for-3 at the plate with two walks. Holberton connected on his fifth home run of the year, a solo shot that tied the contest at 1-1 in the third inning before Moran's go-ahead blast.
Making his first collegiate start, freshman Reilly Hovis surrendered just one run on three hits in 4.2 innings of work. Hovis struck out four and did not walk a batter but left in the fifth inning with the score knotted at 1-1.
Reliever Trevor Kelley (1-0) came out of the bullpen with a pair of runners on in the fifth inning and forced a ground out to get out of trouble before limiting the Flames to two base runners over the next three scoreless frames. Kelley would earn his first career win throwing 3.1 innings of scoreless relief.
The Flames would pull back four runs in the ninth inning against four different Tar Heel relievers before Tate Parrish recorded the final out for his first career save.
Carolina will now head to Blacksburg, Va. this weekend for an ACC series against Virginia Tech set to get underway Friday at 5:30 p.m.

Need help here.
So, after playing merc nation for awhile.
And then looking at gunner girl, i notice yuni got shafted over by errata team.
Her rankup is gowen 7.
But her rank up only gives +20 attack while Gun god gives +5 def and +3 rng?
Or does the yuni's default level play into their rank ups?
Attendant / Feria's rank up is gowen 6.
It gives +1 rng.
While Mercenary Princess / Yuni's rank up is gowen 6.
It gives +20 hp and +10 attack.
Baldern's rank up is gowen 7, it gives +10 hp, +10 def, and +1 Agi.
But that's not all, The more I look at Yuni, the more weird it becomes.
Mizalio is classified as Merc nation, Fierte is classified as merc nation, but gunner girl yuni is just a gunner?
I'm really confused about rank ups now. If it was USA alteil's goal to never allow gunner girl yuni to see play, well, they succeeded?

Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Intro
When most people think of all-wheel drive, their minds naturally gravitate to Crossover and sport utility vehicles. The outstanding benefits of all-wheel drive to that genre of vehicle are many—given they are designed to deal with off-road situations, mud, snow, and sand.
Many mainstream drivers who live in less than ideal climates also value all-wheel drive for its ability to provide reassuring security on rain-soaked roads, or when dealing with snowy winters. The superior traction afforded by an all-wheel drive powertrain is, in fact, absolutely perfect for that as well.
However, there is another category of driver for whom all-wheel drive holds tremendous appeal. Today's more capable high performance automobiles have incorporated all-wheel drive into their games for the same reasons the drivers listed above prefer the drivetrain.
Of course, while they love the effect, their application is somewhat different.
In a performance car, all-wheel drive's superior tractability lets you get power down to the ground a lot sooner in a turn, making your exits faster. It improves road holding in general, and by extension enables a good driver to take full advantage of all the power an engine has to offer.
Thus, it should come as no surprise to learn a collection of the best all-wheel drive coupes would be dominated by performance-oriented cars. After all, if a manufacturer is going to go to the trouble and expense of fitting an all-wheel drive powertrain to a coupe, you can bet they're going to do all they can to make sure that coupe is fast too.
Thus, our list of the Best AWD Drive Coupes for 2012 is one fast group of terrific-looking cars.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Audi A5/S5
Easily one of the more handsome cars on the road today, the Audi A5's distinctive profile is muscular, seductive and sophisticated—all at the same time. Offering power from mild to wild (if you opt for the S5 variant), the A5 delivers great fuel economy, high performance, a luxurious interior, and miles and miles of high style. Further, its all-wheel drive powertrain is one of the most technically advanced systems of its kind on the market. Bred for the autobahn and dressed for Broadway, you'll be proud to arrive in an Audi A5 or S5 anywhere you go. After all, it's one of the best all-wheel drive coupes for 2012.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Audi R8
The Audi of exotic sports cars is bound to top any list of the best AWD coupes for 2012. Handsome in an understated way, the German mid-engine exotic sports car wows onlookers with its handsome features, and drives enthusiasts wild with its stellar performance abilities. The combination of a V10 engine with all-wheel drive makes the R8 one of the fastest and best-handling exotic sports cars on the road. As all-wheel drive coupes go, its corporate cousin Lamborghini builds the only real peers the Audi has. One of the most desirable cars in the world, the Audi R8 easily makes the list of the best all-wheel drive coupes.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Audi TT/TT RS
Audi's mainstream sports car, the TT delivers all-wheel drive coupe pleasure in the form of an exquisitely styled automobile—one distinctive from every other car on the road. In a time when so many cars look so much alike, the Audi TT and its high-performance variant the Audi TT RS, stand out. In addition to beauty, the Audi TT models convey status, performance, and the refined sensibilities that always accompany good taste. That the TT also ranks as one of the best 2012 all-wheel drive coupes is a natural occurrence. It is well known that Audi builds some of the finest cars available for sale today.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Bentley Continental GT
Yet another amazing all-wheel drive standout from the Volkswagen Group, the Bentley Continental GT and its ultra-high performance Continental Supersports iteration absolutely spoil their occupants with a level of luxury unsurpassed by any other automobile. Here's the real kicker though, while the Bentley models take the concept of luxurious accommodations to another realm, that luxury is buttressed by insane performance. The all-wheel drive Bentley Continental GT coupe will do 200 miles per hour, even while looking like it should be on its way to a gallery opening someplace. If any car can be said to top our 2012 AWD list, it would have to be the Bentley Continental GT.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: BMW 3 Series
Handsome, svelte, sexy, seductive, purposeful, graceful…these are all words capable of describing BMW's 3 Series Coupe. Proven to be one of the most coveted models on the road, the BMW 3 Series ably combines the best attributes of a sports car with the comfort and convenience of a luxury coupe. That BMW's engineers and product planners would see fit to endow their most popular offering with all-wheel drive would seem to be a decision requiring very little thought. After all, the ultimate driving machine must be capable of providing the ultimate driving experience regardless of the elements or the road's condition, surface or terrain.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: BMW 6 Series
An aspirational automobile in every sense of the word, the gracefully styled BMW 6 Series brings an elegance to all-wheel drive coupes. While there are other cars in the BMW's category, few offer its unique blend of Grand Touring capability, sports car performance, outstanding comfort and convenience features, along with Savile Row tailoring. Fit an all-wheel drive powertrain and suddenly you're looking at what may quite possibly be the best device ever for transporting two very fortunate souls, their luggage and their inevitable good humor to some fabulous destination at high speed—regardless of the weather or the nature of the roads leading to it.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Cadillac CTS Coupe
With its concept car good looks, stellar road manners and exceptionally comfortable interior, the Cadillac CTS Coupe is easily one of the finest American cars ever produced. Based on the model that announced to the world a new Cadillac was forthcoming, the CTS Coupe was also the smallest two-door Cadillac ever produced when it was launched. Solidly capable of running with the best coupes from Asia and Europe, the Cadillac CTS Coupe is a strong competitor in the one of the most hotly contested automotive segments. The Cadillac's available all-wheel drive powertrain also places it highly on our list of 2012 AWD coupes.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Ferrari FF
The first all-wheel drive model from one of the world's premier auto manufacturers, the Ferrari FF (Ferrari Four: four seats/four-wheel drive) pretty much tells the world all-wheel drive is a very good thing. After all, if the company whose name is synonymous with high performance automobiles is running an AWD coupe, it's a worthy concept to pursue—no? The Ferrari FF also gives the loyal cadre of Ferrari owners a car they can drive regardless of weather or road conditions—although one quite naturally wonders if they actually will.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Infiniti G37 AWD
Fans of the popular Infiniti G37 GT car living in the snowbelt practically rejoiced when Infiniti announced the coupe would be going all-wheel drive. We rejoiced because we knew we'd have another entry for our list of the best all-wheel drive coupes. From the buttery-smooth V6 to the outstanding balance afforded by its front-midships powertrain configuration the G37 coupe has always been a favorite. Plus, the way its engine sounds is literally music to the ears of car lovers everywhere. And now, with all-wheel drive its handling is further improved.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Lamborghini Aventador
It should come as no surprise the sports car company started by a tractor manufacturer should so liberally employ all-wheel drive in its gloriously flamboyant coupes. Aventador, the latest raging bull to come charging out of Sant' Agata Bolognese, is a state of the art speed machine. Period. Yes, it's comfortable, yes its good looking, but the Lamborghini Aventador's primary mission in life is to swap Point A for Point B with as little time elapsed as possible in the process. That the Lamborghini's designers specified all-wheel drive for the coupe as being endemic to the task comes as no surprise.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Lamborghini Gallardo
If it's good enough for the big Lambo, it's certainly welcomed in the baby one. The Gallardo, while getting a bit long in the tooth compared to most of the cars on this list, is nonetheless one of the best all-wheel drive coupes you can buy in 2012. Further, despite its age, the little Lamborghini is stunningly beautiful and a prodigious performer. And, like its other Volkswagen Group siblings, Gallardo employs all-wheel drive to fantastic effect. A true all-weather exotic, the all-wheel drive Lamborghini Gallardo is one of the world's most coveted cars.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe
The smallest coupe from the company that invented the automobile, of course the Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe offers all-wheel drive. There is a doctrine of balance at Mercedes-Benz, which states no one aspect of any its cars' performance potential should be allowed to outweigh any other. If a car is fast, it will have brakes, steering and chassis tuning to match. In other words, all performance aspects of a Mercedes-Benz should be in harmony. With that in mind, it was a given the benefits of all-wheel drive would manifest themselves on the company's smallest coupe offering.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Mercedes-Benz CL-Class
In a brand comprised largely of halo cars, one of the brightest halos hovering above any of the Mercedes-Benz cars glows over the CL-Class coupe. An engineering masterpiece as well as a technological tour de force, the Mercedes-Benz CL is easily one of the most advanced autos on the road today. The CL-Class features every hi-tech safety device known to cars, and indeed many of them debuted on a CL before trickling down to lesser cars. With that in mind, of course there is an all-wheel drive version of this car. And with that said, if there is a pinnacle for this list of the best all-wheel drive coupes for 2012, the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe easily occupies that position.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe
The third entry on the list of the best all-wheel drive coupes for 2012 from Mercedes-Benz, the E-Class Coupe offering is graceful and a strong performer nicely bridging the gap between the uncompromising technical philosophies guiding the CL-Class Coupe, while incorporating much of the sporty performance orientation of the C-Class Coupe. In other words, the E-Class Coupe is the middle child in a family of high achievers. With a pedigree like that, of course it has a reserved parking space on the list of the best AWD Coupes.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Nissan GT-R
The phrase, "Good Lord This Thing Is Fast!" is the first statement uttered by anyone who experiences the full-throttle acceleration of the Nissan GT-R for the first time. That capability is directly attributable to the Nissan coupe's all-wheel drive powertrain. Providing so much grip at launch, the GT-R—when set furiously in motion using its traction control system—feels as if it is being catapulted off of an aircraft carrier. When the first corner comes up, the GT-R barely breaks stride. To witness firsthand the heart-stopping performance benefits of one of the best all-wheel drive coupes—Nissan GT-R.
Fast AWD Cars
Best AWD Coupes of 2012: Porsche 911 Turbo/Carrera 4
Whenever you hang a massive weight out over the tail of an object and ask it to change directions quickly without finesse, you're pretty much also requesting it to spin. Such was the plight of rear-engined Porsche 911 drivers for many, many years. Then, the company fitted all-wheel drive to a 911 and suddenly that problem all but evaporated. Today's 911 is generally regarded as one of the world's most desirable sports cars. And, with all-wheel drive it's even better. Whether you acquire a 911 Turbo or one of the normally aspirated Carrera 4 models, you'll have placed yourself behind the wheel of one of the world's best all-wheel drive coupes.

Apparently based on recent events, two suggested prerequisite courses for all college studentathletes at all three NCAA division schools should be, first, an English class on the true meaning of the word "no," and second a class on "making right choices."
A former Hamline University men's basketball player was recently charged with felony second-degree assault after he allegedly hit a woman in the face while in Spokane, Washington on New Year's Eve. When she heard about the incident, Crystal Flint briefly chatted with one of her sons: "I told him that no one knew how it was going to turn, [but] somebody has to do the morally correct thing and go…at least tell somebody," she recalls. If Flint, herself a former University of Minnesota student-athlete, is successful in convincing her youngster to do the "morally correct thing," it will help eradicate the notion of individual willfulness embedded in too many young people's minds that falsely tells them that whatever they do, rightly or wrongly, is acceptable these days. This notion we adults have somehow, consciously or unconsciously, planted and watered in them, thus enabling them and bankrupting them morally. This is even more so if the young person has been tagged a "star athlete" in his or her formative years, depriving them of understanding and of consistently hearing the word "no." Sometimes we see a dangerous pattern developing and allow it to go unchecked. Continue Reading →

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Police say a Prince George's County man was arrested on Thursday for his alleged role in a child sex trafficking ring run by the street gang, MS-13.
According to court records, 20-year-old, Jonathan Adonay Fuentes, is a member of MS-13 and jointly operated a juvenile prostitution scheme for several months that trafficked at least three teen girls.
Officials say this charge carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years and a maximum of life in prison, if convicted.

U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis
AEO2013 Early Release Overview
Release Date: December 5, 2012 | Report Release Schedule: April 15 - May 2, 2013 | Report Number: DOE/EIA-0383ER(2013)
This release is an abridged version of the Annual Energy Outlook that highlights changes in the AEO Reference case projections for key energy topics. The Early Release includes data tables for the Reference case only. The AEO2013 will be released between April 15 and May 2.
See release schedule..
In preparing the AEO2013 Reference case, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) evaluated a wide range of trends and issues that could have major implications for U.S. energy markets. This overview presents the AEO2013 Reference case and compares it with the AEO2012 Reference case released in June 2012 (see Table 1 on pages 15-16). Because of the uncertainties inherent in any energy market projection, the Reference case results should not be viewed in isolation. Readers are encouraged to review the alternative cases when the complete AEO2013 publication is released, in order to gain perspective on how variations in key assumptions can lead to different outlooks for energy markets.
To provide a basis against which alternative cases and policies can be compared, the AEO2013 Reference case generally assumes that current laws and regulations affecting the energy sector remain unchanged throughout the projection (including the implication that laws that include sunset dates do, in fact, end at the time of those sunset dates). This assumption helps increase the comparability of the Reference case with other analyses, clarifies the relationship of the Reference case to other AEO2013 cases, and enables policy analysis with less uncertainty regarding unstated legal or regulatory assumptions.
Key updates made for the AEO2013 Reference case include the following:
- Extension of the projection period through 2040, an additional five years beyond AEO2012.
- Adoption of a new Liquid Fuels Market Module (LFMM) in place of the Petroleum Market Module used in earlier AEOs provides for more granular and integrated modeling of petroleum refineries and all other types of current and potential future liquid fuels production technologies. This allows more direct analysis and modeling of the regional supply and demand effects involving crude oil and other feedstocks, current and future processes, and marketing to consumers.
- A shift to the use of Brent spot price as the reference oil price. AEO2013 also presents the average West Texas Intermediate (WTI) spot price of light, low-sulfur crude oil delivered in Cushing, Oklahoma, and includes the U.S. annual average refiners' acquisition cost of imported crude oil, which is more representative of the average cost of all crude oils used by domestic refiners.

With so much late rain this year, there has not been enough heat or north winds to dry up the large amounts of standing water.
As the weather warms, that means pesky critters like mosquitoes will start waking up from their cold weather, winter hibernation. They'll be hungry and they'll be looking to create whole new generations.
And all that standing water will be perfect spawning grounds for the female to lay her eggs and for them to incubate and hatch.
While we certainly needed the rains we received this past winter, there will definitely be a downside. Expected this year will be an overabundance of some pests and mosquitoes are expected to lead that list.
There's little you can do about standing water on the ground, but there is a great deal you can do around home where other standing water may gather. Planters are notorious for holding a small little pond of water, a perfect area for a mosquito breeding ground.
Have an old tire that's not mounted on a rim just lying around? It will hold water that will attract mosquitoes.
Look around for other items that may hold water and eliminate the chance of the little lady mosquito finding it and rearing the next generation.
Unless they're blown around by strong winds, mosquitoes don't travel miles to find you. It's going to be morning and late afternoon hours when the critters are the most active. Limit your outside activity at this time and you can limit how much you are personally bothered.
There were times when mosquitoes were just a simple pest that caused you to itch like crazy for a while after being bitten. Today, however, there are diseases such as West Nile Virus transmitted by the mosquito.
If you need to be in an environment where mosquitoes are most active, take precautions. The best and most effective is a repellant. Scientifically proven is the ingredient "DEET" and the higher the concentration, the better.
When shopping for a repellant, read and compare the products. You'll see a wide variety of DEET percentages.
SALMON: I got word from Pat Heaviside, skipper of the Bragg-N at Fort Bragg, "We got us a salmon season," meaning the Pacific Fisheries Management Council has approved a salmon fishing season beyond April 30. I don't yet have the full details as the decision was just made, but hopefully next week I will have everything you'll need to go chasing Chinook salmon.
At Fort Bragg, the salmon fishing is still slow with just a few fish being caught, but Pat tells me that historically, it usually is slow this time of year, with the action to pick up in June and July. There's been a downright terrific bite at Bodega Bay, however, with limits the rule when the water and weather has been favorable. The bite dropped off when the water got bouncy.
Folsom Lake: Bass are on the move and you'll do great if you fish in the shallows. They can be easily spooked in this shallow of water, so make long casts so as not spook them. They tend to get touchy when they're guarding a nest, so toss a reaction bait at them and they'll hammer it when it gets too close for comfort.
There are still some trout and salmon for trollers in the Dike 8 and Granite Bay regions.
Sacramento River: Stripers, stripers, and more stripers. The river seems to be chucked full. The smaller males precede the bigger females and tons of the smaller males will greatly outnumber the bigger fish. But, the good news is that the "hogs" are moving in.
Some of the best striper fishing can be done at night. For some reason, the little shakers go to sleep and you won't get constantly hammered by them, so when you do get bit, it will usually be by a keeper. Fish during the daylight hours, just have a lot of bait. You'll have to wade through a lot of shakers before nailing one of keeper size.
The whole river system up to Verona has been seeing good rod bending action for those anchoring with the whole gamut of cut bait. You might minimize the smaller fish biting if you troll. Further upriver, Knights Landing to Colusa, there remains a good bite on schoolie bass. While there could be a big hog in the 30-pound class, look for most to be around 10 pounds. Best action is simply cutting the motor and drifting with a minnow. Just keep that minnow near the bottom.
Lake Pardee: More than 30,000 pounds of trout have been planted since they re-opened the lake to fishing in 2010. And there are many more to come. Anything planted are rainbows but some awfully big brown trout have been caught. Try 11-pounders. One in the river system and one by the dam.
There has also been many 3-6 pound rainbows caught, too. Because of cooler weather and cool water, fish are staying in the top 20-feet. Drop below that and you can take a nap trolling. You won't get bit. If you troll the river, high ball up to Columbia Gulch to start trolling, and go upriver as far as Indian Rock.
Don't have a boat? No biggie. You can still do well fishing from shore throughout the Rec Area Cove, but best action is going to be early mornings and late, late afternoons.

How does Devil Knight combo with Lucia?
I tried using her and successfully countered Katana open and healed Curse on the World for 90 HP. On the field, she buffed his ATT to 100, but Refess is slow so opponent wailed on me for a while before I could do anything.
The problem with this card is that it can benefit the opponent as much or more as it benefits you, so why the hell would you take the risk playing it when you can play something else that will only benefit you? It's a bad card on the field primarily and secondly on open.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools rating is a simple tool for parents to compare schools based on test scores, student academic growth, and college readiness. It compares schools across the state, where the highest rated schools in the state are designated as "Above Average" and the lowest "Below Average." It is designed to be a starting point to help parents make baseline comparisons. We always advise parents to visit the school and consider other information on school performance and programs, as well as consider their child's and family's needs as part of the school selection process.
Rating Breakdown
|Test score rating
|The test score rating examines how students at this school performed on standardized tests compared with other schools in the state. This rating is based off of 2013-14 WSAS test results.
|College readiness rating
|The college readiness rating combines this high school's graduation rates with data about college entrance exams, both of which are indicators of how well schools are preparing students for success in college and beyond. This rating is based on composite ACT scores and four-year adjusted graduation rates from 2011-12. ACT participation represents the percentage of 11th graders taking the ACT.

About the test
GreatSchools' ratings currently reflect 2012-13 testing data.
Beginning in the 2012-2013 school year, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the WSAS test. As a result of these changes, proficiency scores for Wisconsin schools are lower than they were in previous years.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) uses shock waves to break a
kidney stone into small pieces. These pieces can more easily move through the urinary
tract and pass from the body.
For this procedure you lie on a water-filled cushion.
X-rays or ultrasound tests are used to locate the stone. High-energy
sound waves pass through your body without injuring it and break the stone into
small pieces.

text: Nicole of Nicole Scott Designs recently DIYed a rug to resemble the beautiful Moroccan Beni Ourain rugs that have been wildly popular in the design world.

The thread blends beautifully into the rug to create a subtle graphic pattern.
