St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - Flanked by his grandson, Cardinals great and baseball Hall of Famer Stan Musial displayed a rather simple-albeit direct-wish list for the holiday season: "All I want for Christmas is for Pujols to be a Cardinal."
Brian Musial Schwarze shared the picture, taken Wednesday morning at Stan Musial Inc. in West County, with members of the St. Louis media.
Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, who could announce his decision as early as Wednesday, has offers from St. Louis, the Miami Marlins and a third team that has publicly declined to be identified, according to USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale.
Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak confirmed his club increased its offer to Pujols late Tuesday, his first offer in nine months.

Birth Place: Santa Monica, California, USA
A graduate of the Judd Apatow stable, Martin Starr might not have the profile of Seth Rogen or James Franco, but he quietly became a permanent fixture of American comedy, having appeared in over a dozen sitcoms, several box-office hits and a number of under-rated cult favorites. Starr first attracted attention as the geeky oddball Bill Haverchuck in the criminally-ignored "Freaks and Geeks" (NBC 1999-2000) and subsequently became a Frat Pack regular, stealing scenes in the likes of "Knocked Up" (2007), "Superbad" (2007) and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" (2007). But it was on the small screen where Starr was allowed to truly showcase his talents, most notably as frustrated writer Roman ... Continue Bio >>

Postgraduate Diplomas
Postgraduate Degrees
Postgraduate Diploma (Computer Science)PGDip(CompSc)
Postgraduate Diploma (Mathematics)PGDip(Math)
Postgraduate Diploma (Statistics)PGDip(Stats)
The Postgraduate Diploma (Computer Science) (PGDip(CompSc)) is a professional qualification for graduates with a strong background in computing. It is particularly suitable if you are working in areas related to computing and wish to bring your expertise up to date with developments in this fast changing field. For example, you might want to update your computer science degree in some area of specialisation, or you might seek further study on a topic that you were not able to cover adequately in your first degree. The Postgraduate Diploma program is particularly suitable for people who are not able to commit the two-year period required for the MSc programme. It normally takes
one year of full-time study, but can also be taken part-time over an extended period. With an appropriate choice of 120 points of papers at 500 level and excellent performance in them, good students may be permitted to transfer straight into the second year of the MSc programme after completing the PGDip(CompSc) requirements.
If you wish to have more information on the diplomas, please contact the Department
of Computer Science.
Degree RegulationsThe regulations which govern the awarding of the Postgraduate Diploma are published in the University Calendar.
StructureYou must gain at least 120 points at 500 level with at least 90 points in Computer Science.
We can advise you whether your computer science knowledge is adequate for completing the Postgraduate Diploma in one year, or whether your background is such that you should study for it over a longer period. It is essential that you contact us well before your intended start date as the details of programmes must be individually tailored, and this may take some time.
Entry RequirementsTo enrol for the PGDip(CompSc) you should have completed a Bachelors degree in computer science or computer engineering and your knowledge has to be suitable for entry to our papers.
The PGDip(CompSc) is not intended for people with other qualifications or degrees in other subjects.
Enrolment InformationTo enrol for a Postgraduate Diploma programme, the procedure is much the same as that outlined for the MSc programme. You will have to fill out either a re-enrolment form (for continuing Waikato students) or a combined application and enrolment form, along with a Departmental programme form. You should design your programme in consultation with one of the Diploma coordinators in the Department, before going on to have it formally approved by the Dean.

Difference between revisions of "Javascript Frameworks"
From Joomla! Documentation
m (Hutchy68 moved page Talk:Javascript Frameworks to J3.0 talk:Javascript Frameworks: New namespace version 3.x specific)
(No difference)
Revision as of 20:28, 10 March 2013
Is there a point to calling JHtml::_('jquery.ui' array('core', 'sortable'); ? At the moment, if only sortable is loaded, it will automatically add in core as well since it requires core.
I am assuming at some point in time these frameworks should be moved to their own pages...I just don't have time to organize them and am filling them in as I work with them.
For Mootools, am I correct that it will be removed in the future? Ideally, the Joomla libraries should be first as it would be preferred to use Joomla namespaced functions to ones tied directly to an underlying framework - but until they are divorced from Mootools I don't want to encourage their usage[with the potential for conflicts between having 3 entire frameworks included on the same page].
Actually, it is possible to load jQuery UI Sortable without loading core first given the way the method is written. Core isn't automatically loaded. Mbabker (talk) 23:42, 1 December 2012 (CST)

As noted in Chapter 1, many rifles, shotguns and handguns feature a sight, which is a device that helps a hunter take aim. There are three categories of sights:
Consisting of a main tube with lenses to magnify distant objects, it has line reticles for lining up the center of a target (i.e., where the horizontal and vertical reticles meet). This sight is mounted on top of the barrel or action of a firearm. Since it is easy to use, it is a good choice for novice hunters. The telescopic sight is available in fixed powers and some models have an adjustable ring that the hunter can use to select different powers of magnification.
Usually mounted at the rear part of the rifle action, this sight has a base and a raised ring. It is adjustable for vertical and horizontal movement. Aim at a target by mounting the firearm and peering through the peephole of the rear sight, centering the front sight within the circle of the rear peep sight. The front sight can be a metal post with a ball on top or just a metal post. This category of sight is common on target rifles.
Featuring a notch or cut at the rear and a single post at the front or muzzle end of the barrel, open sights are common features on rifles and pistols. Many of the newer open sights have the front and rear sight made of fiber optic material of contrasting colors, that gather light and are easier to see in low light.

- Toreno: "You know, after what you've done for me, it's like you're a pro now. I've got double agents in Panama who wanna put a price on your head. A Russian spy, some little, fat, Boris-looking guys is asking for clearence to interrogate you - Russian style. Calipers on the genitals. Feels good. You'd like it."
- CJ: "That ain't nothin' cool, man! Just leave me alone! You're bad news!"
- Toreno: "Don't worry about it! The Russians got bigger things to worry about than your genitals, believe me."
- — Mike Toreno tells Carl Johnson about why he needs him for protection
Verdant Meadows (mission) is a "breather" mission given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Mike Toreno to purchase an abandoned airfield in Carl's name.
Mission Brief
Toreno says he used Sweet as an excuse to get you to do jobs for him. They aren't releasing him yet, but they are looking after him, stating that Toreno needs Sweet alive as much as you do - apparently. After that last job, a price was put on your head. Toreno needs you to start doing some real wet work.
Go to the abandoned airstrip in Verdant Meadows and buy it. It will cost you $80,000. If you don't have this amount of money, go out and earn it (or steal it). Once you have purchased the property, go into the office where you will see a red marker. Walk into it, and you'll receive a phone call from Toreno. The mission Learning to Fly (the Flying School) is automatically triggered.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the abandoned airstrip and buy it
- This is the only mission, along with Jizzy, in which the player can save the game or do other missions during a mission (discounting Learning to Fly which, as a school, can be completed in bits and pieces). This is due to the necessity of having enough money to purchase the airstrip.
- This is the only mission where the player doesn't receive money from Mike Toreno as a reward.
- There is a book, in the Mike Toreno's hand named, "Conspiracy Theories " in the beginning. Toreno then tells Carl the history isn't even real, it's all made up.
- Mike Toreno tells Carl the book says Hitler killed himself and that they [the US] nuked Japan, and that people still believe those things.
The reward for this mission is increased Respect.

Comments On Mar 14, 2013:I ride in harescramble races where you get right up close to slower riders all the time trying to find passes in single track trails and this has helped at least once to protect my front rotor when i took out that slow guy the last race by clipping his rear tire when we got on the bank of the pond and thus throwing him in the water, lol. I would reccoment this for any aggressive riders with anger issues such as myself.

Comments On Jan 29, 2013:My CR 250 came with out one. Ive always had a disc protector on my bikes. Some say that they are only for cosmetics. Some say that the protection is minimal at best. Some say that it can actually cause damage to your brake disc when packed with mud. I say yes it helps cosmetically. I say that some protection is better than none. And if your gonna ride in that deep of mud and dont remove it. Thats your own fault. After all its only two or three bolts depending on the application.

Quick LinksWhy Immunize Exposure to Disease Onset Resources for Exposure to Disease Onset Influenza Information Tdap Information
Immunizations aren't just for children and adolescents. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend:
Flu Vaccine for Worksite Wellness
The CDC recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older receive a flu vaccine each year. Annual seasonal flu vaccination with either the flu shot or the nasal-spray flu vaccine is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get the flu and lessen the chance that you will spread it to others. When more people get vaccinated against the flu, less flu illness can spread through the community.
What does the flu cost a company?
Catching the flu can lead to a great loss in productivity. In 2010, the flu accounted for:
The total economic burden of the flu in the United States is estimated at $87.1 billion dollars. The flu can also cost companies billions in lost productivity and direct medical costs. On average, vaccination against the flu can save $30 per vaccinated person.
How to build Workplace Wellness through Immunization
Immunizations are a proven public health intervention and can be implemented at your workplace on varying scales. The four steps of the workplace health model can guide program planning.
Step 1: Assessment
Step 2: Planning
Step 3: Implementation
Step 4: Evaluation
Resources for Workplace Wellness through Immunization
Although healthcare personnel (HCP) have been the focus of immunizations at the workplace in studies, immunizations for caregivers is just as important. Eleven states have legislation supporting influenza immunization for HCP and numerous hospitals and healthcare facilities have policies for influenza immunization.
Sample Documents for Worksite Adult Immunization Policy
The following can be used to implement your own worksite immunization policy focusing on influenza. These documents can be modified for other vaccines, such as Tdap, or to meet your business needs.
- Sample Influenza Policy (This is a Word Document adopted from: Washington State Health Care Workers Toolkit)
- Sample Immunization Policy Letter (This is a Word Document adopted from: Washington State Health Care Workers Toolkit)
- Template for Documenting Vaccination

It was Aug. 1, 1997, and I had just begun a juice fast to seek guidance from God about whether it was time to move to a new church, and what kind of church God may want me to serve. What began as a three-day fast turned into the most spiritually intense 17 days of my life. God spoke to me in ways I had never experienced before, and through this He gave me a new vision for doing ministry, a leading to serve a new church development in La Grange and a beautiful daughter we adopted from China. Those are just the high points of those 17 days.

- Rapid detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae from blood culture bottles by real-time PCR
- Author(s)
- Kurupati, Prathiba; Chow, Carol; Kumarasinghe, Gamini; Poh, Chit Laa
- Abstract
- A LightCycler real-time PCR hybridization probe-based assay which detects a partial Klebsiella pneumoniae 16S rRNA gene was developed for the rapid identification of K. pneumoniae directly from growth-positive blood culture bottles (BACTEC 9240 system) within 2 h. No cross-reactivity was observed with 65 negative-control blood cultures that grew bacteria other than K. pneumoniae and 48 negative blood cultures from double-blind experiments, thus demonstrating 100% specificity when compared to results of conventional biochemical characterization. The assay also showed 100% sensitivity, as it correctly identified all 142 positive-control blood cultures and 4 from double-blind trials.

Class J starship
this wiki
- You may also be looking for the 22nd century J class freighter.
The class J starship was a small, antiquated starship design used by the Federation and independent traders alike well into the mid-23rd century.
In 2266, Harcourt Fenton Mudd possessed an unregistered small class J cargo ship which he utilized as a transport vessel. While attempting to outrun the Enterprise, Mudd piloted the ship into an asteroid belt, in the process causing his engines to overheat. Disabled, the ship was ultimately destroyed by an asteroid collision, but not before the Enterprise was able to beam off all of the ship's inhabitants. (TOS: "Mudd's Women")
The same year, Starfleet maintained an old class J starship for use as a cadet training vessel. During an inspection by Fleet Captain Pike, a baffle plate ruptured, exposing the crew to harmful delta rays. Pike received an extremely high dose which ultimately left him an invalid, as he went in to rescue the cadets. (TOS: "The Menagerie, Part I")
The Deneva colony also had a class J starship at their disposal, described as a one-man vessel of Denevan configuration. The USS Enterprise was unable to intercept it, after it came into sensor range, even at warp 8 before it was destroyed by the heat of the Denevan sun. (TOS: "Operation -- Annihilate!")
In 2269, the Federation operated the space cruiser Aurora. The ship was stolen by Dr. Sevrin and five of his followers in search for the mythical planet Eden. The ship was destroyed when attempting to pull free from a tractor beam. (TOS: "The Way to Eden")
Ships of the class
Background information
It was initially believed that when the J class was introduced in Star Trek: Enterprise that the writers were tipping their hat to the ship class that was twice referenced in the original Star Trek. This association was discovered to be false when "Mudd's Women" was remastered and Mudd's ship was given a completely new design from what was shown in Enterprise.
Slight variations were made in this design's three remastered appearances. In the case of the Denevan starship, the original class J model, albeit slightly scaled down, was a reused to represent that ship as well. In the case of Aurora the engines were slightly modified and new windows were added.
The remastered design shares a similar design lineage to a number of early Matt Jefferies' "shuttlecraft/scout craft" sketches featured in the Star Trek: The Original Series Sketchbook (pg. 86-87). Jefferies' "curved shape" designs were ultimately rejected for being "too expensive", in favor of the design that would be associated with the Class F shuttlecraft.

It might not be easy to disguise a shower chair in wrapping paper, but to some family members it would be a very welcome gift.
With the challenges of today's economy weighing on all our pocketbooks, why not give a practical and useful gift that won't just sit on a shelf. Knueppel HealthCare Services has numerous items that any needy loved one would truly appreciate.
- Personal care items and aids to daily living: Medical ID jewelry, Pill dispensers, Pedicure kits, Convalescent / Patient gowns, Reachers
- Ways to beat the cold: Moist heat pads, Thermal warmers and supports for all the joints, Cold air masks
- For leisure activities: Book, pen and pencil holders and page turners, Magnifiers, Playing card holders, Lap trays, Easy-grip scissors, Pedal and pulley exercisers

Charles Dudley Warner wrote: "The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value." KHS carries numerous items appropriate for your loved ones, any time of the year. But maybe, just maybe, the sight of that awkwardly wrapped shower chair under the tree this December will bring a smile to someone's eyes.

Inam knew from the time he was a middle school student in his native India that he wanted to be an architect. "I received a master's degree in architecture from the former Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and practiced as an architect, but at every stage I had questions." He went on to pursue a master's degree in urban design from Washington University in St. Louis and a PhD in planning from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
"I hadn't been planning on a career in academia, but I discovered I had a gift for teaching," says Inam. He received the Excellence in Teaching Award at MIT and the Outstanding Faculty Award at the University of Michigan three times. Asked the reasons for his success, Inam responds, "I avoid lecturing down to students. They like that I've always practiced, even while working in academia; they like hearing real stories of how design actually happens. Students also seem to pick up on the fact that I'm passionate about what I do."
Inam's passion for uncovering how cities are transformed is reflected in his research and his work as a consultant. His book Planning for the Unplanned: Recovering from Crises in Megacities, is a comparative analysis of city rebuilding in Los Angeles, Mexico City, and New York. "The number one thing that I loved about doing research for the book was that I really felt like a detective."
Inam recently participated in a team invited by the government of Haiti to develop a rebuilding strategy for the country. In another project, funded by a Rockefeller Foundation grant, he worked at MIT to help design a curriculum devoted entirely to cities for the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS). "It was exciting because it wasn't just about India. The largest, fast-growing cities are in the developing regions: Asia, Africa, Latin America. The traditional Eurocentric way of thinking doesn't work anymore. It's a completely different ball game."

Republicans face a likely second defeat in less than a week on legislation to prevent mass shootings. The bill being heard Wednesday would require businesses to provide armed security if they ban patrons from carrying concealed weapons.
The bill is opposed by gun-control advocates and business groups and appears destined for hasty rejection. The same Senate committee voted Monday against a measure that would have allowed school employees to carry concealed weapons.
Republican Sen. Kent Lambert says movie theaters and shopping malls that ban concealed weapons should be obligated to provide their own armed security.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification
What is LEED?
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ("LEED") certification, which was developed and is administered by the United States Green Buildings Committee ("USGBC"), is an internationally recognized voluntary green building certification system that provides third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance.[1] The "seal of approval" is aimed at "encourag[ing] and accelerat[ing] global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through a suite of rating systems that recognize projects that implement strategies for better environmental and health performance."[2] The LEED rating system weighs and considers a building's contribution to energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emission reduction, improvement in indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources.[3]
LEED ratings are for green building projects as a whole. While individual products can contribute to points to a project, specific products do not gain LEED certification.[4] Some LEED criteria do, however, require specific product data as a part of a successful submittal.
Participation in the LEED program was designed to be voluntary and can be applied to any building type at any construction phase, although in recent years this program has been used as part of the building code and permit process and thus being made more mandatory as discussed below. The program recognizes performance in five key topical areas including: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, Awareness and Education, Innovation in Design, and Regional Priority.[5] LEED certification guidelines are available for all building types, including: new construction and major renovation, existing buildings, commercial interiors, core and shell, schools and homes.
Points are awarded on a basic 100-point scale and credits are weighted to reflect their potential environmental impacts, with additional bonus points available. Four of the bonus points are designed to encourage design teams to focus on regionally specific, priority environmental issues.[6] All LEED credits are worth a minimum of one point.[7] Each credit "receives a single, static weight in each rating system [and] there are no individualized scorecards based on project location."[8]
The USGBC provides features for support of for builders who choose to work with the rating system, including reference guides, instructor-led workshops and online courses.[9] The LEED program and resources give building owners, operators, and developers the tools they need to have an immediate measurable impact on their building's performance. In addition to building owners, professionals within the industry that use this system including architects, real estate professionals, facility managers, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects, construction managers, lenders and government officials.[10]
For commercial building projects, LEED is the leading (no pun intended) green building rating program within the U.S. Generally, people seeking a "green certification" for a residential project will research the available certifications in their area that corresponds with their specific goals.[11] There are more than 70 highly regarded local or regional green home building programs in the United States.[12] Each of these programs is unique and offers different specifications and requirements. LEED is different from these regional programs because it is a national program that takes into account regional considerations.
How Rating Systems are Developed
These rating systems are developed through an "open, consensus-based process" led by LEED committees.[13] Each committee is comprised of diverse practitioners and experts representing an array of individuals in the building and construction industry. Also, within this committee structure, there are technical advisory groups that ensure scientific consistency and rigor, opportunities for stakeholder comment and review, member ballot of new rating systems, and a fair and open appeals process. [14]
There are several LEED rating systems that have been developed based upon building type and project. For example, USGBC launched an significant revision to the LEED programs in 2009, which included an upgrade to certifications for New Construction Projects.[15] This particular rating system is intended to distinguish high-performance commercial and institutional projects, including office buildings, high-rise residential buildings, government buildings, recreational facilities, manufacturing plants and laboratories.[16] The system lists the intent, requirements, technologies, and strategies for each credit available.
Attached to each rating system is an Addendum which lists changes to the rating system. Each project attempting certification under their particular rating system is required to adhere to any changes located in the addendum based upon the registration date of project.[17] These updated requirements allow for the programs to be kept current with technological developments and provide a structure for attaining any specific regional benefits.
New versions of LEED green building certification systems are being launched periodically to keep the rating systems current with technological advancements. In the latest version launched in 2009 (referred to now as LEED-2009), there were three technical advancements: (1) LEED prerequisite/Credit Alignment and Harmonization, (2)Transparent Environmental/Human Impact Credit Weighting, and (3) Regionalization. The additions provide the opportunity for developers to obtain additional credits for identifing and taking action to prevent regional environmental issues. While projects certified under a previous version of LEED are not required to upgrade to the 2009 version, they are encouraged to do so and have the option to do so at any time.
New rating systems are currently in the testing stages. These new programs look to things such as systems for neighborhood development, retail, and healthcare. Additionally, USGBC has partnered up with The American Society of Interior Designers' Foundation to launch REGREEN, the nation's first green residential remodeling guidelines. The USGBC continue to develop and provide guidelines for new innovations and design principles.
How are the LEED Rating Systems Being Used
As mentioned above, the primary usage, and original intent of the developers, for the LEED program is through the voluntary rating of a building project. However, some localities have added a requirement to obtain LEED certification part of their building permitting and code enforcement, thus making this a mandatory program in those situations. Recent developmentsin the U.S. have created standards that are written with the intent of adoptionas part of local building codes, such as the International Green Construction Code (IGCC)[18], created by the International Code Council (ICC), and ANSI Standard 189.1-2009[19] created by a partnership between the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the USGBC and the Illumination Engineering Society (IES). Standard 189.1 is an alternate compliance path for the IGCC.
The LEED programs have been modified for use in several countries across the globe, including India. Other countries have developed their own programs that are similar to LEED as well.

The Coloradoan reports ( http://noconow.co/16aOqUJ) 55-year-old Timothy Lee Brown pleaded guilty to felony theft and was sentenced Wednesday.
He was accused of stealing the money from the Rehabilitation and Visiting Nurse Association between February 2002 and March 2012. Brown, who was appointed CFO in 1999, was fired after confessing last March.
An investigation found the nonprofit's losses came by 519 payroll advance checks and unauthorized expenses charged to two different company credit cards. The checks totaled $446,005 and the credit card charges totaled $72,977.
An affidavit says that before Brown's arrest, he had repaid more than $335,000.

The state and health department are teaming up with local retailers to continue that downward trend.
At a training seminar Wednesday, the Illinois Liquor Control Commission showed retailers how to properly inspect identification cards, and passed out anti-tobacco propaganda to enhance retailers' efforts in combating the problem
Organizers say the more the anti-tobacco program grows, the more that minor tobacco use shrinks. Wednesday's seminar was the first of three rounds of training to take place in the coming months.

|Team Info
They were a group of spies from Takigakure, looking for the paper of Konoha's border patrol. Initially they were four, but they lost a member that apparently had been gathering intel during a battle. This deceased member managed to hide the gathered intel in a birds nest attached to a kunai. They chased after Naruto Uzumaki who had found the paper containing their intel, but he was rescued by Iruka Umino. The kunoichi were not particularly powerful enemies, although they had a plethora of techniques at their disposal such as multiple shuriken oriented techniques, wielding swords and a fire technique. The three kunoichi were easily defeated by Kakashi Hatake using a combination of his Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall to defend against their Fire Release Co-Operation Technique: Garuda and his Lightning Cutter. They were most likely taken in for questioning after as they were seen bound and gagged afterward.
Out of the three remaining members the one with the silver grey hair acted as a leader of sorts. Tough and harsh, she gave orders with decisiveness and had no quarrels about killing Naruto and Iruka when they didn't hand over their objective.

Dota 2 is much harder to play and master than LoL, this is probably the main reason why LoL it's so popular...it's easy to get started and average/hard to master.
Either way, I've played Dota 2 a year ago and the game is great, you don't have to buy heroes, runes, pages, so it kinda removes the Pay buttom and focuses entirely on the gameplay. Let's just say MOBAs are not really my thing but I enjoyed playing a couple of games every now and then.

Shimano has taken their venerable SPD pedal and encased it with a tough composite cage to give you a little more room to work with when you've got to click out for those hair ball technical sections. The PD-M647 is double sided and features easily adjustable release tension. The axles are heavy duty cro-mo and the pedal spins on high quality cartridge bearings to ensure long life.
These are great pedals! I say all-use because I have even just ridden them like a platform for short distances because the clip doesn't protrude too much. They are light enough for fast singletrack rides and tough enough for AM and some DH. This extra support around the clip also comes in handy if you want a little more foot support on a DH or AM type ride. They are very durable; I have cracked them on a few rocks and since the black material is more of a hard rubber than a plastic they don't crack and fall apart. They are very adjustable. You can easily adjust each SPD clip with just an Allen wrench and they are well marked for which way to turn for these adjustments. I like to ride mine as loose as they will go. It still provides plenty of retention to keep my feet on the pedals, but they also easily pop out if I need to bail or if I wreck. I have yet to wreck and still be clipped in while falling. That provides some peace of mind for those that are scared to clip in for fear of endless tumbles wrapped up in your MTB.
I bought these for a second DH bike I ride XC/FR around my area with. So pedaling up hill with a 48lbs bike can be tough but a great work out. I find using clip in's on the uphills helps me climb easier and accelerate when I do it. I had Shimano PD-M636's that everyone loves and no one knows why Shimano stopped making them but for a replacement, these are awesome! Just as good as my old one's only the 636's I could take apart and service with new grease when I wanted to. Haven't seen whether you can on these but so far, they're incredibly well built, light weight, the composite plastic or whatever the base is, is very durable and unless you're pro racing, would highly recommend. Only reason I don't for DH racing is the serious rocks that may crack the composite in a bad crash. For everyone else, their 5 star man. They clip in so nicely and hold my feet really well into place without any play. I'm all about Sram man, but Shimano really knows how to do pedals well! GREAT buy!

A little bit of history repeating itself
The concept is now familiar. Soundstage 5.1 is designed to hang on the wall below your TV, reducing your speaker system to a single unit and delivering pseudo-surround, using fifteen drivers and some tricksy audio processing. The styling is slick, with a piano black finish and smooth corners, and it weighs a bracket-testing 18kg, so it feels like you're getting a lot for your money

Ninneko or Ninbyō (忍猫, Literally meaning: Ninja Cat)[1] are able to work with ninja through to their keen senses and unusual flexibility. During the series, several demonstrations felines were displayed, giving notability of similarities with a tanuki.
Most ninneko live in a castle located in the district of heaven and do not possess affiliation with any country or shinobi villages, though a few have been shown to wear a headband with the kanji for truth or sincerity (誠, makoto) written across it, like all the hidden villages have. They protect, and roam the corridors of the Fortress and intercept any threats.
Unlike most animals, ninneko are capable of performing techniques. Ninneko have also demonstrated the ability to use chakra flow through their claws, making them the only animal species to use the skill.
Ninneko primarily use taijutsu due in part to their flexible muscles, which grant them great speed, and their claws which can act as a natural weapon. Nekomata has demonstrated the ability to cast genjutsu, making him the only known ninneko able to do this.
Bakeneko (化け猫, monster cats) are large cats who have a split tail, giving the appearance of two. They are significantly larger and stronger then the average cat. How the transformation from cat to Bakeneko occurs is unknown.
Known Ninneko
- Sakura Haruno observed that a ninneko may be defeated by throwing water over it because of its fear of getting soaked.

A special workshop has been organized by the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF) to discuss triggers of national economic growth.
President Jakaya Kikwete is expected to grace the opening of the meeting slated for Thursday, May 24 in Dar es Salaam.
ESRF executive director Dr. Bohela Lunogelo told reporters yesterday that participants to the forum will discuss key economic growth potentials in Tanzania.
He said the forum, organized by ESRF in collaboration with the Planning Commission under the President's Office, will give economic analysts an opportunity to exchange views on the general outlook of Tanzania's economic growth potentials.
Four thematic papers will be presented and discussed before researchers and other stakeholders, including members of the Planning Commission, the Ministry of Finance and other top government officials.
Two important economic papers will be presented at the forum, one from the Governor of the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) Prof. Benno Ndulu, and another paper by Dr. Huang Chengwei, from the International Poverty Reduction Center in China (IPRCC). According to Dr Lunogelo the theme selected is based on the Medium Term Plan and MKUKUTA II, which will focus on industrialization, mining and tourism potential, land management and agriculture growth, leadership and governance as well as green growth, infrastructure and human resources development. "The above topics to be discussed will help to identify various potential areas relevant in the fight against poverty and assurance of inclusive economic growth," he said.
He said Dr Huang had been invited so that participants can compare notes with the Chinese experience, as China has succeeded to reduce poverty by up to 70 percent of poverty in the past decade in particular.
Among the more crucial issues to be discussed in the forum is the agricultural sector as the backbone of the country's economy.
Stakeholders will use the opportunity to find ways of handling the challenges facing the sector as it has tended to stagnate in its traditional hoe technology.
ESRF is an independent policy research institution established to develop capacity in economic and social policy analysis as well as development management by conducting and disseminating results from social and economic research.
The Planning Commission is an official think tank for strategic planning of the national economy to advise the government on medium and long term strategies for socio-economic development.

The 1997 Minnesota Legislature mandated that a computerized criminal gang data system be set up to assist local law enforcement agencies statewide. The pros and cons of what became the Minnesota Criminal Gang Pointer File are now being aired in a review of the database. State lawmakers last year established the Violent Crime Coordinating Council to reevaluate whether the current Minnesota Criminal Gang Pointer File needs to be modified or scrapped altogether and replaced with a new method of identifying people involved in gangs. Mostly composed of local and regional law enforcement officials, the 19-member council held three public forums during the last three months to get input from community members. "This was the best of the three [forums]," said St. Continue Reading →

Green Cloud Technologies Gets Greener with Each Customer
The month of April can get everyone thinking green – spring takes hold in most places, trees are budding new leaves, and Earth Day celebrations are in the works.
Some environmentally aware organizations think green all year 'round and make efforts to maintain their environmental commitments as ongoing business priorities. New Carbonfund.org supporter, Green Cloud Technologies, launched a program in 2014 to recognize each customer by planting a tree in their honor. Not only does Green Cloud provide environmentally responsible solutions for data management, Green Cloud also cares about preserving the world's habitat. Their commitment to donate one tree per customer every quarter to Carbonfund.org should result in more than 1500 trees planted this year.
If a business isn't in "the Cloud", a significant portion of company resources may go toward implementing, managing, and maintaining a traditional business IT environment. The Cloud changes all of this. Cloud technology connects your business to servers, applications, and other managed services located at a data center. Users access these resources via their laptops, smartphones, tablets, or desktops via the Internet.
Likewise, tree-planting projects around the world connect and enhance the environment by improving soil quality, reducing erosion, providing local community-based jobs, and better air and water quality. Now, Green Cloud Technologies customers are participating with their data management provider in critical environmental preservation projects around the world.
What have you done lately to green your world? Consider the example set by Green Cloud Technologies and join us in a tree-planting initiative of your own.
Kivuto Solutions Reduces Emissions through Electronic Software Delivery and CarbonFree® Operations
The electronic delivery of software applications, rather than mailing physical DVDs and CDs for manual installation on computing networks and workstations, is an important component to reducing operational emissions. Recent studies have calculated that replacing traditional distribution of DVD/CD disk kit software with Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) can result in at least an 83% reduction in carbon emissions.
CarbonFree® Business Partner Kivuto Solutions offers green software distribution solutions through ESD, enabling users to download software and avoid the carbon emissions attributable to product packaging and shipping. Previously known as e-academy, Kivuto seeks to maximize software availability for organizations by reducing the total cost and environmental impact of software distribution.
But Kivuto decided it was important to do more and wanted to join the national movement of businesses and organizations that are leading the fight against global warming. Recognizing that its own operations still created a significant carbon footprint, Kivuto took the proactive step to calculate its annual operational emissions. Kivuto then chose to partner with Carbonfund.org to mitigate its emissions by supporting Reforestation and Forest Preservation projects that absorb carbon emissions now and for years to come.
Electronic software delivery may be part of a lower carbon world, but IT systems use a tremendous amount of electricity. Carbonfund.org encourages companies to follow examples set by business partners such as Kivuto to take the next step towards operational sustainability by supporting carbon sequestration projects, energy efficiency innovation and renewable energy source development.
Steadfast Networks Leading with CarbonFree® Cloud Computing
According to the Carbon Disclosure Project, cloud computing can help companies realize $12.3 billion in energy savings and reduce carbon emissions by 85.7 million metric tons annually by the year 2020. This staggering carbon emissions reduction figure is equivalent to mitigating the emissions from almost 181 million barrels of oil each year.
These compelling statistics are creating a surge in cloud computing options and providers; the challenge is to find the right provider offering the breadth of computing services, systems security and deliver the flexibility required by each business.
Chicago-based Steadfast Networks offers an additional benefit to its customers by operating in a CarbonFree® environment. Steadfast Networks calculates the annual carbon emissions from all base operations and neutralizes those emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction and clean air technology projects. Steadfast Networks also provides a CarbonFree® option to all customers by calculating and mitigating specific operational emissions through Carbonfund.org for each customer's dedicated or co-located server energy consumption.
"At Steadfast, we're always looking for new ways to reduce our environmental impact. Carbonfund.org fit organically into our business model and so it was pretty much a "no brainer" for us," explains Karl Zimmerman, President and Chief Executive Officer at Steadfast Networks.
Steadfast Networks specializes in highly flexible cloud computing, including options for dedicated servers or collocation services at their fully redundant data centers in Chicago and New York. The facilities used by Steadfast Networks are highly engineered to assure reliability and maximize energy efficiency, resulting in a significantly reduced carbon footprint. Their status as a CarbonFree® Business Partner sets Steadfast Networks above the competition for companies seeking the most environmentally responsible options for cloud computing solutions.
Spyrel Delivers Cloud Computing and TREES Technology as CarbonFree® Partner
The National Institute of Standards and Technology describes cloud computing as offering the potential for tremendous cost savings and increased operational agility to organizations. Another key benefit of cloud computing is the access to up-to-date versions of numerous business technology platforms and applications. New Carbonfund.org Business Partner Spyrel adds to the benefits of cloud computing by providing their customers a service partner whose operations are CarbonFree®.
As part of its own corporate sustainability initiatives, Spyrel maintains carbon neutral operations by supporting Carbonfund.org's energy efficiency innovation projects. Their status as a CarbonFree® Business Partner provides a market differentiator and underscores Spyrel's commitment to market leadership in the area of environmentally-sound business practices.
An example of Spyrel's innovations in energy efficiency is their TREES Technology (Tools for Reporting Energy Efficiency Services), which helps utilities measure the energy efficiency performance of their service delivery, thus reducing energy waste. As the least expensive unit of energy is the one that's never used, Spyrel's TREES solution also contributes to the company's overall sustainability initiatives.
"Our environmental commitment is helping customers enjoy powerful productivity gains by leveraging innovative cloud computing platform based applications for specific business verticals," explains Imtiaz Khan, CEO/President of Spyrel. "By partnering with Carbonfund.org, we will be able to achieve that goal ensuring corporate sustainability is empowered."
Spyrel's leadership in supporting energy efficiency technology development and becoming a carbon neutral business demonstrates their long-term commitment to these corporate sustainability goals and to supporting Carbonfund.org's overall mission.

The MFA in Fine Arts offers an exciting immersion into the world of art, familiarizing students with the means, the context, and the interpretation of art through intensive instruction in the many techniques available to contemporary creators. Students acquire a comprehensive understanding of both the material elements that compose artworks and the ideas that make them meaningful. Students develop their own individual voice and critical faculties through ongoing dialogue with a diverse faculty of arts professionals. They are provided with individualized attention and a variety of perspectives on art's place in the global culture.
The MFA in Fine Arts is two-year, 60-credit program is based on a combination of studio, theory and professional practices classes committed to expanding the formal, intellectual, and conceptual work of students working within and across a wide variety of media such as performance, sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, installation and video. The program encourages students to create, present, and interpret their work with the intellectual rigor and refined skill required to become professional artists. Our curriculum unfolds around several central lines of study: Studio Visits one on one with our core faculty and Group Critique with fellow students; Critical Thinking courses, which will give you a cross section of critical theory and philosophy relevant to contemporary artists; Thesis Writing and Research to support individualized, personal research surrounding students' work in the studio; Professional Practice will explore the politics and strategies of a wide variety of exhibition spaces that New York and will address art administration, grant writing, web design, the photographic documentation of work and many other practical aspects that students will need in the field, as well as the production of the catalogue for the thesis show. Additionally to these class lines we offer Advanced Studio electives which cover areas from film and video, to advanced painting, installation, sculpture, performance and ecological literacy and the Transdisciplinary Seminar, a class that looks at the way in which other fields are in dialogue with Fine Arts. Examples have been Art and Afro Futurism, Art and Poetry, Art and Science and Feminist Art Practices.

The Spherical Tourbillon
In Jaeger-LeCoultre's Calibre 177, the three-dimensional rotations of the balance-wheel are at the very heart of an extraordinary horological invention. The ultra-light external carriage makes a complete turn about its axis every sixty seconds. The internal carriage which supports the balance-wheel, balance-spring and escapement rotates far more rapidly – every 24 seconds to be exact, hence completing 2.5 turns per minute. To be sure, Jaeger-LeCoultre's master-watchmakers did not settle on this unusual rotation speed by chance. In fact, it means that the gold balance-wheel appears once every minute in all its glory before the eyes of the observer, before continuing its progress, as though weightless, but following a carefully pre-planned course through the microcosm of the spherical tourbillon, which is of infinite lightness – the total weight of the 90 parts composing this complex rotating body is only a third of a gram. It would have been impossible to achieve this weight, worthy of all the superlatives, without recourse to aluminium for the spherical external carriage and to titanium and aluminium for the elements of the internal carriage. Thanks to the exceptional lightness of aluminium, the external body weighs just 0.035 grams. In steel the same part would weigh 0.11 grams. Aluminium is used in aeronautics and in high-performance engines, and, because of its exceptional density/resistance to corrosion ratio, is perfectly suited to use in a tourbillon. In any case, this is not the first time the master-watchmakers of Jaeger-LeCoultre have used this metal. In their ongoing pursuit of innovation, they had already experimented in the 1940s with movement prototypes made entirely of aluminium. Only in the case of the balance-wheel have Jaeger-LeCoultre's technicians not skimped on weight. Along with its setting screws, the balance-wheel is made of 14-carat gold in order to obtain a particularly high force of inertia, which is useful in such unusual oscillation mechanisms. The spherical tourbillon of Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 174, of the Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2, embodies new groundbreaking progress in this extremely complex domain. A mechanical marvel in its right, this spherical tourbillon and the hundred or so parts composing it exercise an irresistible fascination by the complexity, speed and beauty of its three-dimensional motion. Its frequency has been increased to 4Hz (compared with 3Hz of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 177 of the Gyrotourbillon 1). It has been fitted with a cylinder-shaped balance-spring, such as is found in marine chronometers. Contrary to flat balance-springs, this cylinder-shaped balance-spring is fitted with two end curves, one on each end, thus ensuring a perfectly concentric beat. These twin characteristics – a high frequency and a concentric balance-spring – considerable improved precision. Its inner, faster carriage rotates at the speed of 3,2 complete turns per minute, meaning one revolution every 18.75 seconds, and its ultra-light aluminium-made outer carriage performs one turn per minute. Other specific technical characteristic of this model lies in the barrel, which is equipped with a torque-restricting device. This means that the regularity of rating is perfectly guaranteed for a full 50 hours: when the torque is too low, the restrictor comes into action and stops the watch running. This same restrictor also locks manual winding if there is a risk of supplying excess energy. Eager to enliven still further the visual enchantment of this horological mechanism, the designers of the Manufacture enhanced its appeal by delicately open-working the spokes of the balance-wheel, an operation that creates an elegantly slender effect and also implies a considerable reduction in weight.
