And so you should be spending 300k more than us a season on players.
I was under the impression that the salary cap in our division is £300K. Are you insinuating Fev are breaking the rules, or are all the Hunslet's lads playing for free?

OI020: Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?
this wiki
Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon? (Japanese: ニドランのこいものがたり Nidoran's Love Story) is the 19th episode of Pokémon: Adventures on the Orange Islands.
While on Mandarin Island, Ash and co meet a young girl named Emily and a young boy named Ralph. Both trainers are looking for their Nidoran (Tony and Maria). However, the two trainers hate each other because for a long time they have always had the same Pokémon. What's worse is that they're nextdoor neighbors. Things are complicated when Ralph's Tony (Nidoran Male) and Emily's Maria (Nidoran Female) are in love with each other. (Like in Romeo and Juliet), but the trainers don't want them to see each other. Things get even worse than that when Team Rocket meddles. Can Ralph and Emily set aside their differences and help their Pokémon, or will this love story end in tragedy?
Episode Plot
The heroes come to a quiet town, thinking it is from a history book or from England. Ash wonders if there were any Pokémon Centers in the old days. Suddenly, a girl runs, shouting for Maria. The girl asks for them if they saw Maria. She sees they are strangers and tells her Nidoran is missing - a blue one. Ash uses his PokéDex, but Maria sees it is a male, as it shows a pink Nidoran. Ash presses some buttons and a blue Nidoran appears, which Maria acknowledges it is a female. So, the heroes promise to get Nidoran back to her. They shout Nidoran's name, Maria. Suddenly, Pikachu sees some nice berries and comes closer to the tree, but still "shouts" Maria's name.
As Ash looks, he hears a boy looking for Tony. The boy asks them if they saw Tony, his pink Nidoran, whom he describes nearly same as Maria. Ash looks to his PokéDex and sees a Nidoran. The boy denies this one's appearance, as it is blue, so Ash presses buttons and a pink Nidoran is shown. As Tracey and the girl show up, the boy gets in an fight with her, calling her a kidnapper. The boy and the girl argue with each other, telling each other they stole the Pokémon so that they can have their Nidoran remark as the best one seen. They grab sticks and attack each other. Suddenly, Marril appears and the boy and the girl run over Tracey, finding their Nidoran cuddling each other.
Misty and Tracey see this is love. The male Nidoran offers a rose and they eat the petals, then push their noses as to who will get the last petal. While the boy and the girl like this, they part ways, getting their Nidoran and going away. In a restaurant, the heroes talk with a chef about this problem. The chef knows they are Ralph and Emily, who have known each other since childhood. However, they catch always the same Pokémon and get tied in contests. When they got the Nidoran, the Nidoran fell in love with each other, but due to their trainers' stubborness, they don't see each other often. As they get out, the heroes see Tony, Ralph's Nidoran. They spy and see Tony wanting to see Maria. Misty sees they are meant for each other. Ash asks how does she know. Misty replies she is a romantic and tells Ash he needs to grow up to understand these things, making him depressed.
Emily appears and throws water out of the bucket, making Nidoran wet and takes Maria inside. Ralph appears and takes Tony inside his house. The gang notices Ralph and Emily are neighbors. Tracey sees the statement "you can live near someone and be worlds apart". Misty sees this is crazy and goes to unite the Nidoran together. Ash tells her this is not her business to get involved in. Misty replies she will, as she is a romantic and love is the most important thing in the world. Ash replies catching Pokémon is, causing him to get more depressed as Misty called him a baby. Team Rocket see the two Nidorans and Meowth and James think they are set, like Christmas socks. Misty wrote a letter and has a plan to get Ralph, Emily and their Nidoran together (scolding Ash for not seeing how it would work). She thinks she can send them identical letters, thinking they will thank her for this, as they may be not mature to admit they are in love. Tracey compares Ralph and Emily to them, causing him to be outyelled for this ridicolous statement.
Jessie believes they can teach the Nidoran a lesson they can be together if they are with Team Rocket. James thinks Jessie had love trauma. Jessie admits she was looking a long time for love, but found only heartaches, making her sad,a s the bad guys seem not to deserve love. Meowth thinks this is what caused her to be a nutjob, causing Jessie to kick them off and order them to make the plan. Meowth contacts Tony and Maria, promising them to see their love if they do what he tells them. Jessie tells James when they got the Nidoran, they will take them to the boss. Meowth appears and tells that they will not disobey their masters, making Jessie mad. Jessie sees there must be another plan - Nidoranapping. The heroes are hiding and awating Misty's plan to be realized, thinking Ralph and Emily will thank each other for sending gifts (which Misty did). They appear, but rudely tell why they'd send the gifts, throwing the flowers and airplane in their faces. Ralph and Emily argue even more and fight each other.
Misty sees she was wrong about them liking each other. Ash tells her plan failed, but Misty replies her mission was to get them together, which she did. Suddenly, they see a bride and a groom, congratulating them. The bride and the groom take the Nidoran (which are in the cages). The bride and the groom are Jessie and James, who release a cake, then cut it and fly off in the balloon. Ralph and Emily say their Nidoran's names in sadness, forcing Misty to clarify they can blame themselves for what happened. The heroes notice cans were dropping from Team Rocket's balloon and follow the trace. When they get to their place, they demand the Nidoran back (which Jessie and James went to dress them up for the boss). The Nidoran return to their masters, but Jessie sends Arbok. The Nidoran tackle Arbok away, defeating it. James sends Victreebel, who bites Jessie. Maria scratches Victreebel, while Tony gets hit by Arbok's tackle attack. They evade Victreebel's gnawing and Tony tackles it, while Maria scratches Arbok.
Tony gets hit by Victreebel, so Maria pushes it away. Ralph and Emily see the battle and their Nidoran's desire to battle for each other. Arbok wraps the Nidoran, but gets chewed. Ralph and Emily order Fury Swipes, blushing at each other, as the Nidoran scratch Arbok and Victreebel. With a Double Kick, Victreebel and Arbok are defeated. Team Rocket go up and Meowth uses a vacuum cleaner, but Pikachu goes to it (with an evil grin) and electrocutes Team Rocket. Misty sends Staryu, who pierces their balloon. With that, Team Rocket blasts off. Misty tells Team Rocket this is what happenes to anyone who messes with Pokémon in love. Misty turns to Ralph and Emily, telling they aren't better than Team Rocket, but they should leave their Nidoran happy. Ralph and Emily tell they cannot part ways with Nidoran, but Tracey thinks they can build a house between their own to spend time with them.
Misty says to Nidoran they can finally be together. The Nidoran kiss each other and evolve into a Nidorino and a Nidorina. Tracey asks Misty if they evolved from battle of the kiss, making Misty to pound him. Ash asks her if kiss changes people, but Misty tells they should see for themselves, making Ash confused. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are tied to the bells, which swing for a couple's marriage.

Rocker Panel
Fitment, Style, Installation | Rocker Panel Trim Options Explained
Since the demise of built-in running boards after World War II, auto manufacturers have been using rocker panel moldings to dress up a vehicle area that would otherwise be plain-looking and nondescript. Technically, a rocker panel is the section of a vehicle's body below the doors and between the front and rear wheel wells. For decades, stainless steel molding strips were installed over rocker panels for styling purposes and to protect the body from stones and debris. Typically, a value-priced base model would have no rocker panel moldings at all, a higher-trim level would feature a slim molding strip just below the doors, and the most expensive version of a car would be equipped with wide rocker molding sets that extended further up onto the doors.

Newark, NJ (Sports Network) - The Mike Rice scandal at Rutgers has reportedly
cost Tim Pernetti his job as athletic director.
The Newark Star-Ledger cited sources as saying Pernetti became the latest
domino to fall in the wake of Rice's firing on Wednesday. The school has yet
to announce the move and the paper said it was initially unclear if Pernetti
was fired or had resigned.
Rice was dismissed after videotape of his behavior during practice was
released by ESPN on Tuesday. On Thursday, assistant basketball coach Jimmy
Martelli announced his resignation for similar actions.
Pernetti came under fire because of his decision to initially suspend Rice
when he first learned of the coach's questionable practice habits. Rice was
punished with a three-game suspension and fined for his actions.
No details were initially given for Rice's suspension in December, but once
the videotape was released, speculation grew rampant as to why the coach was
not fired.
The videos show Rice physically and verbally abusing players. He shoved and
grabbed players, while also hurling basketballs at them.
More to follow.

San Diego County officials are testing Kaplan College students in Vista for tuberculosis after someone associated with the school tested positive for the disease.
According to a county statement Tuesday afternoon, exposure likely occurred between Jan. 2 and March 19 and was limited to Kaplan's campus at 3022 University Drive in Vista. There was no exposure at the college's other two locations, in Chula Vista and San Diego, according to the county's Health and Human Services Agency.
With campuses in seven states, Kaplan offers a range of professional and vocational programs, from criminal justice to nursing.
Free testing for students and staff who may have been exposed is being provided at the Vista campus through Thursday.
Dr. Kathleen Moser, chief of the county's tuberculosis control program, said in December that those who test positive for TB are never identified by gender, age or occupation to avoid any chance that a person could be identified.
"It's not material to getting the alert out," Moser said.
Symptoms of tuberculosis include persistent cough, fever, night sweats and unexplained weight loss.
"TB usually requires many hours of close, indoor contact to spread to others, so most people who are exposed in classrooms do not get infected or develop the disease," said Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county's public health officer.
Those who test positive can be treated with antibiotics.
San Diego County has seen 18 cases of tuberculosis this year, according to county health records. There were 234 cases reported in 2012. Other recent locations of positive TB tests include Montgomery Adult School in Otay Mesa, El Camino High School in Oceanside, Vista High School and San Ysidro Middle School.
For more information, call the county's TB Control Program at (619) 692-8621.

The new Click Watches are reaching back into the glory days of electronics for their inaugural Dip Switch and Turn Switch timepiece collections.

Prof. Sharon spoke about his work in a Cornell University interview:
"So I made this new ... broke some new paths there and further research is needed to stabilize and standardize the technique. So this is one example where I felt very pleased with it. Then it also happened later on there that very soon in this area there was a huge earthquake, about 7.5 or 8 scale and a whole lot of buildings were flattened, same area. Again I went there to see what can an engineer do there. Now everything else that is needed by way of relief and help to such situations, it was being done but I said, okay people are sending food there, clothes there, medicines there and everything else is being done. So what can we do. So I set up solar kitchens there right out under an open sky in the fields and began to cook food in that... my reasoning was that there's no fuel there and there's no knowing how long it will take to restore fuel supplies, wood and kerosene and whatever they were... gas... so we said, okay let's begin to cook food. So I set up in actually half an acre land and a huge kitchen, solar kitchen with hundred solar cookers arrayed you know, at one place and began cooking food and women and children were injured, so they welcomed this idea that without having to cook, we're getting food. This then led to development of solar cafeteria as a permanent device to be used in normal times as well in this area. So this is how it went. So in this way I didn't choose that area to work on but once I accepted the job and I had an exposure of what kind of problems it is facing, I then began to take interest in solving them and now I find it a very rewarding thing to do."

Robert Baratheon
this wiki
- "I'm not trying to honor you, I'm trying to get you to run my kingdom while I eat, drink, and whore my way into an early grave."
- ―Robert Baratheon to Eddard Stark.
Robert Baratheon is a major character in the first season. He is played by starring cast member Mark Addy, and debuts in the series premiere.
Robert Baratheon is the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, formally styled as Robert of the House Baratheon, the First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm. He took the throne by conquest in the war known as Robert's Rebellion. Robert was a great warrior in his youth. He killed Rhaegar Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone, at the Battle of the Trident. After the war, Robert married Cersei Lannister to cement an alliance with House Lannister to hold the kingdoms together, but he does not love her. She claims to have bore him three children, but they were all fathered by her twin brother, Jaime Lannister. Robert found the winning of his kingdom far more fulfilling that the running of it. So it is his small council that is delegated the tedious tasks of ruling. He is a childhood friend of Eddard Stark and considers him his true brother. He names Ned Hand of the King when the previous Hand dies in mysterious circumstances. Eddard launches an investigation and discovers that his predecessor was scrutinising the parentage of Cersei's children. Fearful of exposure, Cersei instructs Robert's squire, Lancel Lannister, to give him too much wine while hunting. Robert is fatally wounded by a boar. Eddard cannot bring himself to tell Robert the truth about his children as he succumbs to his injuries. Robert names Eddard protector of the realm just before his death. Cersei ignores the proclamation, has Eddard arrested and seizes the throne for her son, Joffrey. The dispute leads to the War of the Five Kings.
Robert is the first son of Steffon Baratheon. He has two younger brothers, Stannis and Renly. Steffon was the head of House Baratheon and Lord Paramount of the Stormlands. The Stormlands are one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms and House Baratheon is one of the Great Houses of the realm. His parents died in his youth, killed when their ship was caught in a storm. Robert, standing on the walls of Storm's End with Stannis, witnessed his parents ship that was returning from Essos break up on the rocks. He inherited the lordship, and was fostered with Jon Arryn, the head of House Arryn, another Great House. Eddard Stark, the second son of House Stark, was also fostered with Jon Arryn and Robert and Eddard became as close as brothers.[1]Robert served King Aerys II Targaryen (known as the Mad King) as the Lord Paramount of the Stormlands. Robert was betrothed to Lyanna Stark, Eddard's sister. Lyanna was kidnapped by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.[2][3] The mad king had Eddard's father and brother killed for protesting against the kidnapping.[4] This sparked a massive uprising against the Mad King led by Robert, Eddard and Jon Arryn.[5] Lyanna and Aerys died during the civil war that followed.[6][7] Robert claimed the Iron Throne because he started the war and killed Prince Rhaegar personally.[8] Robert also had the best claim to the throne as a result of being related to the Targaryens of old through his mother's side.[9] The other leaders of the rebels, Jon Arryn and Eddard Stark believe that Robert with his claim and charismatic personality should be king and stood aside.
Robert was devastated by Lyanna's death, but was urged by Jon Arryn to marry Cersei of House Lannister, making an alliance with her father, Tywin Lannister, who had joined his cause late in the conflict and delivered the capital of King's Landing to him.[10] He named Jon Arryn as his Hand while Eddard took his father's role as Warden of the North.[11]
Stannis fought for Robert through the war. Stannis and Robert never loved one another.[12][13] Despite Stannis' service during the war Robert made Renly the Lord of Storm's End following his victory. Renly was only a child during the civil war, so he did not fight.[14] Stannis was made Lord of Dragonstone and served on his Robert's small council as Master of Ships. Renly later joined the small council as Master of Laws.[15][16]
Robert has been the King of the Andals and the First Men and the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros since the end of the civil war. He is more concerned with drinking, whoring and hunting than with the minutiae of ruling his kingdom.[17][18] He revels in the glory days of the rebellion.[19] He leaves the running of the kingdom largely his small council, led by Jon Arryn. King Robert also loves to throw events such as tournaments at which he spares no expense. Unfortunately, after seventeen years this has left the realm deeply in debt, for a shocking six million Gold Dragons, half of that to House Lannister. [20] He apparently has three children with Cersei: Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen.[21] Unbeknownst to Robert all three were actually fathered by Cersei's twin brother Jaime Lannister.[22] Robert has also fathered several illegitimate bastards. He has an unacknowledged bastard son named Gendry fathered on a tavern wench.[23] He has an unacknowledged bastard daughter named Barra fathered on the prostitute Mhaegen.[24] He has at least four other unacknowledged bastards fathered with various women in the city of King's Landing alone.[25]
Jon Arryn began to investigate the lineage of Cersei's children, comparing their appearance to Robert's bastard offspring. He died under mysterious circumstances shortly after beginning his investigation. Robert has decided to ride north to Eddard's keep Winterfell to name him as Jon Arryn's replacement.[26]
Season 1
The royal party arrives in Winterfell and Lord Eddard presents his household to King Robert. After initial greetings, Robert demands to see the crypts and pay his respects, stoking Queen Cersei's impatience. In the crypts Robert offers prayers to a statue of Lyanna Stark. He tells Eddard that in his dreams he kills Rhaegar Targaryen every night anew, but Eddard replies that House Targaryen is destroyed. "Not all of them," Robert counters. Robert formally offers Eddard the role of Hand of the King, telling him that he needs someone to run the kingdom and revealing that he is fearful of betrayal from within his court. Eddard asks for time to think about it. Robert agrees but offers a sweetener: the hand of his son Joffrey in marriage to Eddard's daughter Sansa. A great feast is held in honor of the king's visit to Winterfell. The next morning Eddard and Robert go hunting and Eddard accepts Robert's offer.[27]
The parties depart Winterfell. Days later, on the Kingsroad south to the capital, Robert calls a halt to discuss some newly-arrived dire news with Eddard. Robert's spies have learned of Daenerys Targaryen's marriage to Khal Drogo whose khalasar is reported to number over one hundred thousand people. Eddard points out that the Dothraki cannot cross the Narrow Sea, as they have no ships, but Robert is concerned that the Seven Kingdoms will soon face another war.[28]
On the Kingsroad, the royal party reaches the Crossroads Inn, a noted waystop on the way south to the capital. Joffrey is injured by Nymeria, a direwolf belonging to Eddard's younger daughter Arya during the halt. Arya is brought before Robert and truthfully blames Joffrey for instigating the incident but Joffrey's falsified version of events is supported by Sansa. Robert is furious that a minor fracas has become a major incident with his wife and his new Hand accusing one another's children; he also appears to exhibit disdain towards Joffrey over the fact his son was beaten and disarmed by a girl several years his junior. He decides to let Ned discipline Arya whilst he will do the same to Joffrey, but to appease his Queen he agrees that a direwolf must be executed. When Nymeria cannot be found, Robert commands that Sansa's wolf Lady must be killed instead.[29]
On his return to King's Landing Robert orders a tournament to celebrate Eddard's appointment. He avoids the small council meetings where discussion of the kingdom's mounting debts and the difficulty of paying for the tournament are raised. Robert swaps old war stories with Ser Barristan Selmy, a distinguished and famous knight and Lord Commander of the Kingsguard and Jaime Lannister, whilst also humiliating his 'useless' squire, Lancel Lannister.[30] Robert enjoys the attentions of at least four women in his chambers. Jaime Lannister, left guarding his room outside, is infuriated by the insult done to his sister by this, and vents about it to Jory Cassel.[31]
Robert learns that Daenerys is pregnant and orders that she and her brother Viserys Targaryen be assassinated. Eddard disagrees with the decision, and resigns as Hand, enraging Robert. Later, Cersei asks Robert if it was wise to lose Eddard in this way and they discuss their marriage. Robert tells her he could never love her due to his feelings for Lyanna. Robert's brother Renly reports that Robert is planning a big hunt and has asked Renly to accompany him, a prospect Renly dreads.[32]
Robert reinstates Eddard as Hand before going on his hunt in the Kingswood, taking Selmy, Lancel and Renly with him. Renly becomes annoyed with Robert glorifying the 'good old days' and leaves the hunt to return to the castle.[33] Robert is badly wounded whilst trying to kill a boar. He is taken back to the capital and names Eddard as Lord Protector of the Realm. Eddard has learned that Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen are not Robert's children, but are instead the product of incest between Cersei and her twin brother Jaime, but is unable to tell the dying Robert this. After Robert's death, Cersei destroys the proclamation of Eddard as Protector of the Realm and has Eddard arrested. Renly also flees the city, after telling Eddard that he would make a better king than his and Robert's other brother (and the rightful heir), Stannis.[34] Robert's death sparks the War of the Five Kings with both of his brothers, Joffrey, Balon Greyjoy, and Robb Stark crowning themselves as kings.[35]
Season 3
At some point prior to his death (possibly as he lay mortally wounded after the boar hunt), Robert specified that he did not want to be buried in the Great Sept of Baelor in King's Landing, where the remains of previous kings from the Targaryen dynasty are interred. Instead, his instructions were that he be buried alongside his forefathers at his family's ancestral castle, Storm's End.[36]

Family tree
Robert Baratheon is rumored to have fathered over a dozen bastard children over the years. Those who have been introduced in the TV series so far include:
- Gendry - adolescent armorer's apprentice in King's Landing. Mother was a tavern wench.
- {Barra} - infant in King's Landing. Mother was Mhaegen, a prostitute. Killed in Joffrey's purge.
- Several other bastard children killed in Joffrey's purge, including a second infant, two brothers, and one child.

Behind the scenes
- On the Season 1 Blu-ray, Robert narrates Complete Guide to Westeros videos on "Mad King Aerys", "Robert's Rebellion" and "The Sack of King's Landing".
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Robert is in his mid-thirties when the events of the books begin. He is jovial and fun-loving, fond of battle, women and drink. As a young man Robert was a formidable warrior, noted for his chivalry, sense of honor and immense charisma. He won several loyal Targaryen bannermen to his cause through strength of personality alone. Very tall and incredibly muscular, Robert was considered one of the most attractive men in Westeros, desired by every maiden in the realm. However, after becoming king, Robert let himself go somewhat, becoming fat, soft and indolent, though still capable of great generosity to his friends. Robert has also become more bitter following Lyanna's death and his unhappy marriage to Cersei, despite their multiple children.
Robert is rumored to have fathered over a dozen bastard children over the years, though exactly how many he has is unknown even to Robert. Cersei once visited a woods-witch in her youth who predicted that Cersei would have three children (Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen) and that Robert would have sixteen - the prophecy about Cersei's children turned out to be true, but it is unknown if the prophecy about Robert's children turned out to be accurate. Robert had a voracious sexual appetite since he was a teenager, however, and he had sex with innumerable whores and servant girls for over twenty years before his death, so tracking down all of his bastards would be an exceedingly difficult task. Varys himself can confirm of at least eight bastard children which Robert fathered over the years.
Robert's only acknowledged bastard is Edric Storm, whom he acknowledged because his mother was not a commoner but a noblewoman from House Florent. Robert acknowledged the boy but Cersei would have been furious if he raised him in his own home, so he sent Edric away to be fostered at Storm's End his whole life. Edric had virtually no contact with Robert: Edric would receive nameday presents every year and write thank-you letters to Robert for them, but they were actually sent by Varys without Robert's input at all.
Another confirmed bastard is Mya Stone, a daughter he fathered in the Vale while he was fostering there with Eddard Stark, a few years before he led the rebellion against King Aerys Targaryen (thus she is apparently the oldest of his bastards, in her late teens/early twenties). Mya was not officially acknowledged by Robert, but her existence is considered to be an open secret. Robert knew her when she was a toddler but he left her behind when he became king; once during a heated argument Robert threatened to punish Cersei by formally acknowledging Mya and even bringing her to be raised in the Red Keep, but Cersei said that if he did she would slit Robert's throat in his sleep over the insult; knowing that she truly meant this threat, Robert backed down. Thus while Mya has not been officially, legally acknowledged as Robert's bastard, her status as his daughter is such public knowledge that she uses the special bastard surname "Stone" - without complaint by others that Robert technically never officially gave her the right to use the name "Stone". Mya works as a pack mule guide along the treacherous mountain path leading to the Eyrie, and is encountered by Catelyn Stark when she brings Tyrion Lannister to the Eyrie to hold prisoner at her sister Lysa's court.
In the books, Barra was the only of Robert's bastards who was reported to be killed at Cersei's command following his death. She was explicitly killed on Cersei's orders, not on Joffrey's as in the TV series. Petyr Baelish also told Eddard Stark that some years earlier Robert fathered bastard twins with a serving woman at Casterly Rock, and that Cersei had both children killed.
Gendry, Edric Storm, Mya Stone, plus the deceased Barra and twins at Casterly Rock only account for six bastards, however, when Varys said he knew of at least eight. When Arya Stark and Gendry first encounter the Brotherhood Without Banners in the Riverlands, they pass through the town of Stoney Sept, where they encounter a dark-haired prostitute named Bella who claims to be a bastard of Robert. Bella states that she is the daughter of a prostitute that Robert had sex with as he was passing through the town during the Battle of the Bells, and that she was named "Bella" for the battle. She does generally resemble Robert and her age matches her story of when Robert would have had sex with her mother, but her claim cannot be definitely confirmed.
The TV series has not introduced any other bastards besides Gendry, even going so far as to combine parts of Edric Storm's storyline - being taken to Dragonstone - with Gendry's storyline in Season 3. It is unclear if the TV series means to imply that Gendry is Robert's only surviving bastard, but either way the focus given to Gendry is much greater in the TV continuity.

NEW YORK - James Barsi has dreamed about becoming a medical doctor for years. However, he never imagined that medical schools would fight over him, or that one would offer a $10,000 scholarship. But that's just what happened to Barsi, a chemistry major, who was pursued by Einstein Medical Center, New York University, Stony Brook, Downstate and nearly every other school to which he applied. NYU and Einstein got into a bidding war for Barsi, who ultimately chose to begin classes in September at NYU. "He had the highest MCAT scores I have ever seen," said Diana Bray, Ph.D., chair of the chemistry department. "He is exceptionally bright, works very hard and is a very active student. He is the first person I have heard of to receive a scholarship to attend medical school. It's just phenomenal." Barsi credits Fordham for contributing to his success. "I think Fordham prepared me very well," he said. "I always knew I wanted to be a doctor. Fordham gave me a lot of individual attention, the courseware I needed and research experience. I had a lot of interaction with professors, something I don't think you get at larger schools." Barsi is one of at least 15 students from the University who will attend some of the country's top medical schools in the fall. He is the only chemistry major that applied, with the bulk of Fordham's future doctors coming out of the biology department. "A lot of the schools like students who come with a strong liberal arts background," said the Rev. Daniel O'Brien, S.J., assistant dean, who is the premed adviser. "What they find is that students schooled in the liberal arts are better with people and make better doctors. They are able to communicate with their patients better than people who don't have as diverse an education." Medical schools also like the fact that many Fordham students have done scientific research and community service work. Nicole Green, a biology major who was accepted to more than a half dozen medical schools, said she believes the opportunity to do community service at Fordham helped shape her future. "Community service work helped me to decide that I wanted to be a pediatrician and work with inner-city children," she said. "It was a great motivator because I would keep telling myself that this was what I wanted to do, and to accomplish my goal, I had to keep going." Berish Rubin, Ph.D., who heads the biology department, says the University has worked hard to improve its program for students who want to attend medical school. In biology, for example, a rigorous program that includes human anatomy, human physiology and biochemistry prepares students for classes they will encounter in medical school. The department has also added state-of-the art equipment and provides research opportunities to students. Some of the new equipment is so good that it detected a minor heart problem in one of the students. "The student was sent to the hospital where it was confirmed and taken care of," Rubin said. "These students are doing very sophisticated monitoring of themselves." Rubin also has created The Chairman's Circle, a club to help keep premed students majoring in biology on track. Students who maintain the required grade point average are eligible to join. "Getting into medical school is amazingly challenging," said Rubin. "I try to energize the students and foster success by helping them to push themselves to succeed. We meet, talk about whatever they want to talk about and encourage them to keep up the grades. We discuss everything from science, to the television show Hopkins 24/7, to dating." Biology major John Bibko, who will attend Harvard Dental School in the fall, feels that "Fordham prepared me very well. I was really impressed with the biology department and the professors. At Fordham you are able to do research, something a lot of schools don't allow. Research is intrinsic in getting into dental or medical school." Additionally, students who want to attend medical school can do mock interviews with professors (an important piece of the puzzle for medical school admission) and can ask for assistance in ensuring they are meeting the criteria for admission. "The science program at Fordham is pretty rigorous and the teachers are dedicated to making sure we understand the concepts and the lab work," said Green. "Dr. Rubin was helpful in making sure we were on track, stressing how important it was to study hard, to do well on the MCATS and to participate in activities. It was an experience that really paid off for me." Founded in 1841, Fordham is New York City�s Jesuit university. It has residential campuses in the north Bronx and Manhattan, a graduate center in Tarrytown and the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y.

Perdita minima
A small bee, Perdita minima is rarely seen by casual observers. Credit: John S. Ascher, Discover Life.
Perdita minima
"World's Smallest Bee"
Native bees come in all shapes and sizes. Many gardeners are familiar with the large black and yellow bumblebees (Bombus spp.) or the equally large, usually all black, carpenter bees (Xylocopa spp.). Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are much smaller, but they are giants compared to many of our nearly 4,000 species of native bees.
The smallest and the largest: a Perdita minima on a female carpenter bee's head. Photo by Stephen Buchmann.
One southwestern United States bee is especially petite. Perdita minima belong to a diverse genus of approximately 600 species belonging to the family Andrenidae. Perdita minima are solitary bees, and thus are not classified as social bees as are honeybees. Many bees in this genus are floral specialists and only visit one or a few related species within a single plant genus.
Perdita minima are slightly less than two millimeters long! As a solitary bee, it constructs a diminutive nest in sandy desert soils. Entomologists and naturalists who seek out this tiny pollinator typically look for its passing shadow across the ground rather than the bee itself. This bee is so small that it can easily pass through and escape from the netting fabric mesh of ordinary insect nets.
Whitemargin sandmat (Chamaescye albomarginata) is one the many wildflowers in the Spurge family (Euphorbiacea) that Perdita minima visits. Photo by Margaret Williams, courtesy Nevada Native Plant Society.
Perdita minima feed on the nectar and pollen of wildflowers in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. In the desert southwest, it frequently visits wildflowers such as small whitemargin sandmat (Chamaesyce albomarginata). The tiny white flowers provide the nectar and pollen needed by adults and larvae of these small bees. Although pollen grains seem relatively large for such small bees to pack and carry back to their nests, the hairy legs of this diminutive bee are capable of being packed very large loads of pollen.

Dragonair takes the safety of its passengers and crew seriously. Due to Occupational Health & Safety regulations, Cabin Crew are encouraged not to lift or carry passengers' cabin baggage. Passengers should stow their cabin baggage in the overhead lockers or under the seat in front of you.
However, in the interests of safety, passengers should co-operate with members of our cabin crew who may ask for certain personal items to be stowed during take-off and landing. This is especially essential around the emergency exit areas including the overwing exits and bulkhead. Baggage in these areas must be stowed in the overhead lockers to ensure no baggage can obstruct the evacuation process during an emergency. For any baggage that does not fit in either of these locations and is too heavy for you to lift or exceeds our baggage acceptance allowances, our cabin crew will arrange for it to be placed in the cargo hold. Aircraft coat closets should not be used for the stowage of passenger's baggage. Observing your baggage limitations is essential for your safety and comfort.
The use of certain carry-on portable electronic devices is restricted inflight, as they may interfere with the aircraft systems and must remain off while the aircraft is taxiing, during take-off, and landing. Mobile phones must be switched off from the time the cabin doors are closed for departure until after landing. The cabin crew will then advise you when you can switch them on again.
Portable electronic devices with their wireless function disabled may be used onboard after take-off, when the cabin crew informs you that it is safe to switch them on and may remain on until the seatbelt sign is turned on for landing. These include Cellular Communication Devices, such as Mobile Phones, and Pagers in "Flight Safe/Airplane" mode with the Phone and Wi-Fi functions disabled; Computing Devices, such as Laptop, Notebook, Tablet, Hand-held, iPad, eBook, and PDAs; Computing Peripheral Devices, such as Printers, and Scanners; Handheld Consoles, such as Games and Toys; Media Players & Audio Recorders, such as MP3/ MP4 Players, DVD/CD Players, Audio Recorders, Audio Headsets, and iPods; Photographic & Video Equipment, such as Cameras, and Camcorders; Personal Timing Equipment, such as Watches, and Clocks; Other Small Electronics Devices, such as Calculators, Electric Shavers, Breast Pumps and Thermometers.
Please note that all portable electronic devices may not be plugged into the aircraft's utility electrical power supply outlets. An exception is made for electric shavers which may only be used in the appropriate sockets in the lavatories.
Alcohol will not be served to passengers under 18 years of age. Consumption of alcoholic beverages brought from outside the aircraft or purchased onboard is against our company policy. We serve inflight complimentary drinks but we reserve the right to decline alcoholic drinks at the discretion of the crew.
Sharps boxes are provided inflight for disposal of syringes. Please ask our crew for assistance.
The use of devices that affect or restrict the functionality of any aircraft product onboard is strictly prohibited
All Dragonair flights are NON-SMOKING flights. The toilets have smoke detectors installed. Smoking, or tampering with these detectors is an offence and can incur a fine of up to HK$50,000 and a maximum of two years' imprisonment.
Electrical cigarettes or any other simulated smoking devices are prohibited to be used onboard.
Dragonair has a Zero tolerance policy towards unruly behaviour onboard. Offenders are subject to prosecution.
All Dragonair flights are governed by the Laws of Hong Kong. Offences include any person onboard an aircraft who:

The truth of the matter is its the fault of the us testers for not considering the full ramifications of a card.
However to be fair, we are human and have faults. Cards that are part of tribes that we're trying to get a little more play for tend to be a bit over looked if a much lower rarity card, especially if it falls into the more support oriented mix. On paper Harpist is a pretty good card for trying to improve the extremely underplayed mermaids. As a result it didn't quite get the level of testing that a card like Rivera or Veerlat got. Partly due to the rarity and the fact that they have some pretty set up niches, that already see a bit of play.
the mermaid issue will probably be fixed soon.

The Diablo Stallion is a two-door gang-muscle car, based on the Stallion, featured in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance, and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. The car is known simply as the Diablo in GTA Advance.
The Diablo Stallion is essentially the gang car of the Diablos gang in GTA III, GTA Advance and GTA Liberty City Stories. Distinguishable by its black body with painted flames running across the bottom of the sides and a supercharger clearly visible on the top of the hood, the Diablo Stallion also is the only hardtop Stallion in the games it is featured in and has noticeably lower ground clearance. The GTA Advance rendition is only color black, purple and red with no visible painted flames.
It is worth noting that while both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories feature conventional Stallions alongside the Diablo variant, GTA Advance doesn't.
The Diablo Stallion is an eight-cylinder, customized classic with tons of torque and high-end performance. The main drawback is that there were few to no modifications to the Stallion's suspension (despite a lowered ride height), meaning that although the car can go very fast, it doesn't turn corners well.
- A black Stallion with a flame paintjob (similar to a Diablo Stallion) appears in Bully during Shop Class, along with the Regina. The Stallion does not have a hood-mounted supercharger though.
- King Courtney's spoken orders in the GTA III mission Gangcar Round-up incorrectly state that the Diablo gang car is an Infernus. The subtitles, however, call it a Stallion. The reason for this is because in the beta, the Diablos were supposed to drive Diablo Infernuses, but they were replaced because they were too classy for a low-class gang. The mission entails stealing one of their modified Stallions, as well as a Mafia Sentinel and a Yakuza Stinger, for attacks on these gangs.
- In GTA: Advance music played in this car it Toys Are Real - Flymutha. Song is from Funami FM, GTA 2.
- GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories
- Can be found driving around Hepburn Heights, Portland Island, Diablo Gang turf.
- It spawns around northeastern Harwood and in Hepburn Heights, but after the mission, Sindacco Sabotage is completed, the Diablo Stallions spawn rarely because of the Diablos losing some turf in Hepburn Heights.
- Can be seen all around Liberty City during the Firefighter side missions, lik any other gang car in the game.

31 U.S. Code § 1101 - Definitions

In this chapter—
(1) "agency" includes the District of Columbia government but does not include the legislative branch or the Supreme Court.
Source(Pub. L. 97–258, Sept. 13, 1982, 96 Stat. 907.)
|Revised Section
|Source (U.S. Code)
|Source (Statutes at Large)
|31:2(1st–4th pars.).
|June 10, 1921, ch. 18, § 2(1st–5th pars.), 42 Stat. 20; Apr. 3, 1939, ch. 36, § 201, 53 Stat. 565; July 31, 1953, ch. 302, § 101(1st proviso in par. under heading "Bureau of the Budget"), 67 Stat. 299.
|31:2(last par.).
|June 10, 1921, ch. 18, 42 Stat. 20, § 2(last par.); added Sept. 12, 1950, ch. 946, § 101, 64 Stat. 832.
In the section, a reference to 31:71 and 471 is omitted because the definitions in the section are not used in 31:71 and 471.
In clause (1), "agency" (which is defined for purposes of this title in section 101 to mean a department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States) is coextensive with and substituted for the term "department or establishment" which was defined in 31:2 as in part meaning "any executive department, independent commission, board, bureau, office, agency, or other establishment of the Government, including any independent regulatory commission or board". This definition merely restates and continues, and does not in any way change or expand, the definition in 31:2. Under that definition, entities such as the Tennessee Valley Authority that have been interpreted to be outside the purview of the definition will continue to be outside the purview in the same manner and to the same extent that they were under 31:2. The words "includes the District of Columbia government" are used because of existing law but the inclusion of these words is not to be interpreted as construing the extent to which the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganizational Act (Pub. L. 93–198, 87 Stat. 774) supersedes the provisions codified in this title. The words "of the United States" are omitted as surplus. The text of 31:2(2d–4th pars.) is omitted as unnecessary because of the restatement. The text of section 2(3d par.) of the Budget and Accounting Act, 1921 (ch. 18, 42 Stat. 20), is omitted as obsolete because of section 501 of the revised title.
Short Title of 2011 Amendment
Pub. L. 111–352, § 1(a),Jan. 4, 2011, 124 Stat. 3866, provided that: "This Act [enacting sections 1115, 1116, and 1120 to 1125 of this title and section 306 of Title 5, Government Organization and Employees, amending section 1105 of this title, repealing sections 1115 and 1116 of this title and section 306 of Title 5, and enacting provisions set out as notes under section 1115 of this title and section 5105 of Title 5] may be cited as the 'GPRA Modernization Act of 2010'."
Short Title of 2010 Amendment
Pub. L. 111–291, title IV, § 401,Dec. 8, 2010, 124 Stat. 3097, provided that: "This title [amending section 1105 of this title, enacting provisions set out as a note under section 1105 of this title, and amending provisions set out as a note under this section] may be cited as the 'Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act of 2010'."
Short Title of 1993 Amendment
Pub. L. 103–62, § 1,Aug. 3, 1993, 107 Stat. 285, provided that: "This Act [enacting sections 1115 to 1119, 9703, and 9704 of this title, section 306 of Title 5, Government Organization and Employees, and sections 2801 to 2805 of Title 39, Postal Service, amending section 1105 of this title, and enacting provisions set out as notes under section 1115 of this title] may be cited as the 'Government Performance and Results Act of 1993'."
Short Title of 1984 Amendment
Pub. L. 98–501, title II, § 201,Oct. 19, 1984, 98 Stat. 2324, provided that: "This title [amending section 1105 of this title and enacting provisions set out as a note under section 1105 of this title] may be cited as the 'Federal Capital Investment Program Information Act of 1984'."
Construction of 1993 Amendment
Pub. L. 103–62, § 10,Aug. 3, 1993, 107 Stat. 295, provided that: "No provision or amendment made by this Act [see Short Title of 1993 Amendment note set out above] may be construed as—

"(2) superseding any statutory requirement, including any requirement under section 553 of title 5, United States Code."
Congressional Findings and Statement of Purposes
Pub. L. 103–62, § 2,Aug. 3, 1993, 107 Stat. 285, provided that:

"(3) improve Federal program effectiveness and public accountability by promoting a new focus on results, service quality, and customer satisfaction;
"(4) help Federal managers improve service delivery, by requiring that they plan for meeting program objectives and by providing them with information about program results and service quality;
"(5) improve congressional decisionmaking by providing more objective information on achieving statutory objectives, and on the relative effectiveness and efficiency of Federal programs and spending; and
"(6) improve internal management of the Federal Government."
Congressional Oversight
Pub. L. 103–62, § 8(a),Aug. 3, 1993, 107 Stat. 294, provided that: "Nothing in this Act [see Short Title of 1993 Amendment note set out above] shall be construed as limiting the ability of Congress to establish, amend, suspend, or annul a performance goal. Any such action shall have the effect of superseding that goal in the plan submitted under section 1105 (a)(29) [now 1105(a)(28)] of title 31, United States Code."
Executive Order No. 13037
Ex. Ord. No. 13037, Mar. 3, 1997, 62 F.R. 10185, as amended by Ex. Ord. No. 13066, Oct. 29, 1997, 62 F.R. 59273; Ex. Ord. No. 13108, Dec. 11, 1998, 63 F.R. 69175, which established the Commission to Study Capital Budgeting, was revoked by Ex. Ord.

TL6P: With a stunning 1650 lumens, the TL6P is the larger of our two canister technical lights but with a number of great features and upgrades from the TL6, the TL6P remains popular with many types of divers. One important upgrade is a mesh strain relief cord cover to protect from wire kinks or stress, as well as plastic strain relief on connection points. The second upgrade is that a switch mechanism has been added to the light head for ease of use; this means there is one magnetic rotary switch on the light head with three power settings and also a magnetic slider switch on the battery canister with two power settings. A focused 8 degree hot spot beam with a 70 degree periphery beam make this light a versatile choice not only as a technical light, but as a handheld canister light for multiple uses.
