Welcome to the Retirement Info Center. We want to share information about retirement benefits for new, prospective, and current Federal employees, as well as Federal retirees and their survivors and benefits officers. Here you will find the most up-to-date information on changes, events, and other issues that may affect your Federal retirement benefits.
Often, we will link to other pages on the official Website so that you can easily find updated information.
As widely reported in the news, our government has reached its debt limit. U.S. Treasury Secretary Geithner has since declared a "debt issuance suspension period" for the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (which funds our retirees). By law this allows the Treasury to redeem (or cash out) a portion of existing Treasury securities held by the fund. The same law also requires that the government repay the fund with interest.
Bottom line: This action will not affect CSRS and FERS annuity payments to retirees. All payments will continue as normal and on schedule.
Thank you for your time. I hope you find this information useful and we look forward to providing you more information in the future.
Did you know that we receive more claims and calls during the first three months of each year? It's true. The first three months of every year are always our busiest months. During this time we are processing the end of year retirements and all changes and additions to healthcare due to our annual open season.
And chances are pretty strong that you are trying to process your paperwork for taxes and other financial transactions, too. If you have tried to contact us recently, you may have received a busy signal. We are currently experiencing a large call volume and an increase in claims as a result of our busy season, but we want to help you with your needs.
We are doing everything we can to improve service to you. In an effort to serve you better, we have authorized overtime for our current specialists and will continue to do so this year.
Here's a hint: The best times to reach us are first thing in the morning as we open at 7:30am EST, or Thursdays and Fridays in the afternoon. Our number is 888-767-6738 but you may also contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We are confident that we will decrease our call and claim volume. In the meantime, our commitment and service to you is our highest priority and we thank you for your patience.

The Town of Glenrothes in Fife, Scotland, has a distinctive and diverse collection of public art set within a carefully planned urban landscape, dating
from 1965 to the present. A spirit of collective enterprise driven by a range of social ideals was given
focus through the pioneering appointment of a "Town Artist" by the Glenrothes Development Corporation
in 1968. Often taking the history of the area as its inspiration, the art helps to define the identity
of the town.
In 2010, Historic Scotland undertook a study of the public art of Glenrothes. The study has highlighted the importance of Glenrothes in the story of Scotland's public art and also tells us much about the development of our five New Towns.

December 7th, 2012
While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Is your head spinning? December 7 is National Cotton Candy Day!
It seems unlikely, but two dentists can be credited with giving us the cotton candy we know today. The first, William Morrison, developed a machine that could spin sugar in 1897. Along with John Wharton (a confectioner), he introduced the world to the machine-made version of an already popular product at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.
At the time, cotton candy was expensive to make and cost a lot to purchase, making it unavailable to the average Joe.
The second was a Louisiana man called Joseph Lascaux. He patented a similar machine in 1921, calling his product cotton candy. Cotton candy had previously been called candy floss or fairy floss in other parts of the world.
These days cotton candy machines are relatively cheap to buy. You can also MacGyver your own using a bottle cap.
You will need special sugar if you want to make the colorful confection at home – regular granulated sugar won't melt properly. Essentially a cotton candy machine heats the sugar until it melts and solidifies in the air as it spins around a bowl.

With day-to-day numbers suggesting audiences could embrace this "family friendly" comedy even if critics decidedly did not, SPY NEXT DOOR might do well enough in the long-run to avoid blatant RAZZ-able status. Or, like many a movie of late, it could implode after its opening weekend. Here's a B.O. MoJo LINK to see what happened...

Split Sides
this wiki
The Split Sides Comedy Club is a comedy club accessible in Grand Theft Auto IV and The Lost and Damned but inaccessible in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
- "Not just the usual bunch of middle-aged manic depressives telling racist jokes, this famous Comedy Club also showcases some big-name Celebrity Guests"
- ―GTA IV Manual Description
Located at Frankfort Avenue and Jade Street in the Star Junction district of Algonquin, Liberty City, the Split Sides is intended to be one of only two places (the other being Perestroika) where the player can watch shows; inside, real life comedians (such as Kat Williams or Ricky Gervais) perform comedy routines in front of live audiences. Their routines often make reference to Liberty City itself mentioning locations by name or commenting on in game elements (such as the lack of dogs in the streets).
The player can visit the club by himself, with a friend, or on a date with one of his girlfriends to see performances. Two routines from Split Sides can also been seen on television while in one of the player's safehouses.
Unlike Perestroika, the trigger to begin a Split Sides' show is located outside the club's Frankfort Avenue entrance, as opposed to Perestroika's trigger being located inside; in addition, the player cannot explore the club's interior in the same fashion as Perestroika unless being aided by a third party mod that allows teleportation into the club. While the club features two entrances, one at Frankfort Avenue and one at Jade Street, the Frankfort Avenue entrance is the only one where the player can enter and exit the club. The club is inaccessible when you have a wanted level.
The Split Side is a parody of Comic Strip Live.
In GTA IV, the Split Sides originally hosts only two hosts, Ricky Gervais and Katt Williams, whose routines are repeated after a certain amount of visits. The Lost and Damned exclusively includes an additional guest, Frankie Boyle.

Who Should Rule Atlantis?
First appearing way back in More Fun Comics #73 (Sept. 1941), Aquaman is one of the oldest comic book characters in existence. His longevity in popular culture, coupled with his incredible powers — super strength and durability, telepathy, ability to breathe underwater — and the fact that he is also the king of Atlantis on top of being a superhero should place Aquaman in the upper echelon of comic book characters, yet he has always been considered something of a laughing stock outside of the comic book community. A popular subject of derision on TV shows like Saturday Night Live and The Big Bang Theory, Aquaman's only live-action highlights have come from his appearances on Smallville, as played by Alan Ritchson, and in an Entourage sub-plot in which the too-lean and not-blonde Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) played the "King of the Seven Seas" in a faux James Cameron movie.
Apparently, there is some talk at Warner Bros. about bringing Aquaman to the big screen in a solo movie, but the studio is far more invested in developing Green Lantern 2, The Flash and Wonder Woman so Aquaman's big screen debut will likely be as part of the ensemble Justice League movie. Who do you think has what it takes to not only salvage Aquaman's reputation, but stand alongside Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the rest of the Justice Leaguers on the big screen?

Leading you to an educated decision.
Ethernet is a family of frame-based computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs). The name comes from the physical concept of the ether. It defines a number of wiring and signaling standards for the physical layer, through means of network access at the Media Access Control (MAC)/Data Link Layer, and a common addressing format. Ethernet is standardized as IEEE 802.3. The combination of the twisted pair versions of Ethernet for connecting end systems to the network, along with the fiber optic versions for site backbones, is the most widespread wired LAN technology. It has been in use from around 1980[1]. to the present, largely replacing competing LAN standards such as token ring, FDDI, and ARCNET. In recent years, Wi-Fi, the wireless LAN standardized by IEEE 802.11, is prevalent in home and small office networks and augmenting Ethernet in larger installations

It is an ill-kept secret that netball is a sport which is popular amongst girls in the country.
In fact, it could be argued that what football is to boys, netball is to girls in the domestic sporting arena.
As it so happens, local netball was recently boosted by the news that Tanzania will host the African netball championship this year, which will begin on May 8 in Dar es Salaam.
Indeed, this is a positive development for the sport and it gives the Tanzania Netball Association (Chaneta) ample time to prepare for the event.
Last year was a successful one for our netball as Taifa Queens, restored a little bit of our badly dented national sporting pride by winning a silver medal at the All Africa Games, which unfortunately proved to be the only medal we won at the prestigious games.
Since then though, there has been inadequate attention paid to netball by sports stakeholders, but the hope is that in light of the recent good news, netball will now assume greater prominence in the national spotlight.
Considering that the African netball championship is only months away, it is incumbent upon us to meticulously prepare for the event in a bid to give ourselves a better chance of winning the title.
In the wider context though, a few important concerns about local netball remain.
One such concern is the fact that there are not enough funds being ploughed into the sport for its development compared to major sports on the local scene like football, for example.
Another concern is the lingering fear amongst some quarters that we have failed to capitalize on the popularity of netball amongst girls to turn ourselves into a veritable powerhouse on the African continent.
Indeed, it could be tentatively argued that we are a sleeping giant on the continent as the sport has been played in our country for donkey-years.
So, as we begin the countdown to the African netball championship, we should strive to ensure that we can steer local netball towards a successful and bright future.

I always wondered why gametes from two different species dont fuse together to form an offspring. eg a donkey (sperm) and a female dog (egg)
I know this is not possible but I'm just curious.
I always wondered why gametes from two different species dont fuse together to form an offspring. eg a donkey (sperm) and a female dog (egg)
I know this is not possible but I'm just curious.
Daniel's answer excellently explains the issue in an understandable fashion, though you may have been looking for a more cell biological approach.
According to Immunological aspects of sperm receptors on the zona pellucida of mammalian eggs, 1976, Dunbar & Shivers, the egg cell has a receptor construction which is necessary for the sperm to attach. If the receptor is too different from what the sperm is built for (which will be the case in different species), it will not be able to attach and fertilise the egg.
Often, they do fuse together but the chromosome pairing is not precise enough to guarantee faithful cell division without loss of genetic material. Consider for example a simple inversion of one large part of a chromosome. In a closely related species that does not have this inversion, either the inverted part pairs or the non-inverted ends pair, but never the whole chromosome. That leads to strand-breaks and loss of large amounts of genetic material. That's an easy event for speciation, since it does not disrupt much. Only the ends where the inverted piece joins has two disruption. So, maximally two genes might be broken, but the chromosomes modified in this way won't pair.
The biological environment in every cell and tissue of your body is an extremely complex, tightly controlled system. There are tens of thousands of genes in a typical eukaryotic genome, and depending on tissue types and environmental conditions, these genes are turned on and off in a very controlled manner. There is regulation at every point in the flow of genetic information: nucleosome disruption to expose DNA; RNA transcription from the DNA; protein translation from the RNA; and in some cases, additional modifications of proteins or intermediate mRNAs. At early stages in development, regulation of RNA and protein levels is even more crucial than, say, when an organism is fully developed and healthy.
All living organisms share some basic building blocks--DNA, RNA, and proteins work pretty much the same in all of life (there are a few rare variations of the genetic code but the basic premise is identical). However, the way that specific genes, transcripts, and proteins work together to sustain life varies widely between different organisms.
For a very rough analogy, imagine you want to bake a batch of cookies. Then consider the three following scenarios.
The first example we can relate to two individuals of the same species mating. Of course there is natural variation in the population, but this doesn't typically lead to lethality during development. The second example we can relate to individuals of two related species (such as a horse and a donkey). Sometimes these matings can produce viable offspring, although these offspring are often sterile. The third example we can relate to individuals of two very divergent species (such as donkey and dog in your original question). The biological systems inside donkeys are just so different from those inside dogs that this mating cannot produce a viable offspring.
Admittedly this is a rough analogy, but hopefully is sheds some light on the issue.

Consider use of "invalidation"
From PROV feedback [3]
Suggestion to use PROV invalidation vocabulary to state when a changed organization ceases to exist.
Request for more complete illustrative diagram
The non-normative pictorial representation of the vocabulary is not complete, and clearly stated as such in the LC document.
Comment from João Paulo requesting that the relation between org:Organization and foaf:Agent and between org:Post and org:Organization should be made explicit. [4]
Relationship to foaf:Organization
Off list comment from Dan Brickley.
The ORG vocabulary itself states that org:Organization is owl:equivalentClass foaf:Organization but this isn't reflected in the HTML description.
Recorded as Issue-42
Align treatment of registered addresses with RegOrg
Comment from Richard Cyganiak recorded as Issue-45
Domain/range of org:reportsTo
Comment from João Paulo.
State the domain and range of org:reportsTo as being foaf:Agent as opposed to unionOf(foaf:Agent, org:Post) and add clarifying text pointing out that someone can reportTo an org:Post. This is not a change in semantics, just a clarification.
Recorded as Issue-48
org:reportsTo is not acyclic
Comment from João Paulo.
There is currently a comment in informative text mentioning reportsTo as acyclic that should be removed or clarified. This would be a minor change, not affecting semantics.

Stem Cell Transplantation
A. General
Stem cell transplantation is a process in which stem cells are harvested from either a patient's (autologous) or donor's (allogeneic) bone marrow or peripheral blood for intravenous infusion. Autologous stem cell transplants (AuSCT) must be used to effect hematopoietic reconstitution following severely myelotoxic doses of chemotherapy (HDCT) and/or radiotherapy used to treat various malignancies. Allogeneic stem cell transplants may be used to restore function in recipients having an inherited or acquired deficiency or defect. Hematopoietic stem cells are multi-potent stem cells that give rise to all the blood cell types; these stem cells form blood and immune cells. A hematopoietic stem cell is a cell isolated from blood or bone marrow that can renew itself, differentiate to a variety of specialized cells, can mobilize out of the bone marrow into circulating blood, and can undergo programmed cell death, called apoptosis - a process by which cells that are unneeded or detrimental self destruct.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is clarifying that bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is a process which includes mobilization, harvesting, and transplant of bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells and the administration of high dose chemotherapy or radiotherapy prior to the actual transplant. When bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is covered, all necessary steps are included in coverage. When bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is non-covered, none of the steps are covered.
1. Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT)
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a procedure in which a portion of a healthy donor's stem cell or bone marrow is obtained and prepared for intravenous infusion.
a. Nationally Covered Indications
The following uses of allogeneic HSCT are covered under Medicare:
i. Effective for services performed on or after August 1, 1978, for the treatment of leukemia, leukemia in remission, or aplastic anemia when it is reasonable and necessary,
ii. Effective for services performed on or after June 3, 1985, for the treatment of severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) and for the treatment of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.
iii. Effective for services performed on or after August 4, 2010, for the treatment of Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) pursuant to Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) in the context of a Medicare-approved, prospective clinical study.
The MDS refers to a group of diverse blood disorders in which the bone marrow does not produce enough healthy, functioning blood cells. These disorders are varied with regard to clinical characteristics, cytologic and pathologic features, and cytogenetics. The abnormal production of blood cells in the bone marrow leads to low blood cell counts, referred to as cytopenias, which are a hallmark feature of MDS along with a dysplastic and hypercellular-appearing bone marrow.
Medicare payment for these beneficiaries will be restricted to patients enrolled in an approved clinical study. In accordance with the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005 (US Public Law 109-129) a standard dataset is collected for all allogeneic transplant patients in the United States by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. The elements in this dataset, comprised of two mandatory forms plus one additional form, encompass the information we require for a study under CED.
A prospective clinical study seeking Medicare payment for treating a beneficiary with allogeneic HSCT for MDS pursuant to CED must meet one or more aspects of the following questions:
• Prospectively, compared to Medicare beneficiaries with MDS who do not receive HSCT, do Medicare beneficiaries with MDS who receive HSCT have improved outcomes as indicated by:
• Prospectively, in Medicare beneficiaries with MDS who receive HSCT, how do International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) score, patient age, cytopenias and comorbidities predict the following outcomes:
• Prospectively, in Medicare beneficiaries with MDS who receive HSCT, what treatment facility characteristics predict meaningful clinical improvement in the following outcomes:
In addition, the clinical study must adhere to the following standards of scientific integrity and relevance to the Medicare population:
a. The principal purpose of the research study is to test whether a particular intervention potentially improves the participants' health outcomes.
b. The research study is well supported by available scientific and medical information or it is intended to clarify or establish the health outcomes of interventions already in common clinical use.
c. The research study does not unjustifiably duplicate existing studies.
d. The research study design is appropriate to answer the research question being asked in the study.
e. The research study is sponsored by an organization or individual capable of executing the proposed study successfully.
f. The research study is in compliance with all applicable Federal regulations concerning the protection of human subjects found at 45 CFR Part 46.
g. All aspects of the research study are conducted according to appropriate standards of scientific integrity (see http://www.icmje.org).
h. The research study has a written protocol that clearly addresses, or incorporates by reference, the standards listed here as Medicare requirements for CED coverage.
i. The clinical research study is not designed to exclusively test toxicity or disease pathophysiology in healthy individuals. Trials of all medical technologies measuring therapeutic outcomes as one of the objectives meet this standard only if the disease or condition being studied is life threatening as defined in 21 CFR §312.81(a) and the patient has no other viable treatment options.
j. The clinical research study is registered on the ClinicalTrials.gov Web site by the principal sponsor/investigator prior to the enrollment of the first study subject.
k. The research study protocol specifies the method and timing of public release of all pre-specified outcomes to be measured including release of outcomes if outcomes are negative or study is terminated early. The results must be made public within 24 months of the end of data collection. If a report is planned to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, then that initial release may be an abstract that meets the requirements of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org). However a full report of the outcomes must be made public no later than 3 years after the end of data collection.
l. The research study protocol must explicitly discuss subpopulations affected by the treatment under investigation, particularly traditionally underrepresented groups in clinical studies, how the inclusion and exclusion criteria effect enrollment of these populations, and a plan for the retention and reporting of said populations on the trial. If the inclusion and exclusion criteria are expected to have a negative effect on the recruitment or retention of underrepresented populations, the protocol must discuss why these criteria are necessary.
m. The research study protocol explicitly discusses how the results are or are not expected to be generalizable to the Medicare population to infer whether Medicare patients may benefit from the intervention. Separate discussions in the protocol may be necessary for populations eligible for Medicare due to age, disability or Medicaid eligibility.
Consistent with section 1142 of the Social Security Act, the Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ) supports clinical research studies that CMS determines meet the above-listed standards and address the above-listed research questions.
The clinical research study should also have the following features:
• It should be a prospective, longitudinal study with clinical information from the period before HSCT and short- and long-term follow-up information.
• Outcomes should be measured and compared among pre-specified subgroups within the cohort.
• The study should be powered to make inferences in subgroup analyses.
• Risk stratification methods should be used to control for selection bias. Data elements to be used in risk stratification models should include:
Patient selection:
• Patient Age at diagnosis of MDS and at transplantation
• Date of onset of MDS
• Disease classification (specific MDS subtype at diagnosis prior to preparative/conditioning regimen using World Health Organization (WHO) classifications). Include presence/absence of refractory cytopenias
• Comorbid conditions
• IPSS score (and WHO-adapted Prognostic Scoring System (WPSS) score, if applicable) at diagnosis and prior to transplantation
• Score immediately prior to transplantation and one year post-transplantation
• Disease assessment at diagnosis at start of preparative regimen and last assessment prior to preparative regimen Subtype of MDS (refractory anemia with or without blasts, degree of blasts, etc.)
• Type of preparative/conditioning regimen administered myeloabalative, non-myeloablative, reduced–intensity conditioning)
• Donor type
• Cell Source
• IPSS Score at diagnosis
Facilities must submit the required transplant essential data to the Stem Cell Therapeutics Outcomes Database.
b. Nationally Non-Covered Indications
Effective for services performed on or after May 24, 1996, allogeneic HSCT is not covered as treatment for multiple myeloma.
2. Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (AuSCT)
Autologous stem cell transplantation (AuSCT) is a technique for restoring stem cells using the patient's own previously stored cells.
a. Nationally Covered Indications
i. Effective for services performed on or after April 28, 1989, AuSCT is considered reasonable and necessary under §l862(a)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act (the Act) for the following conditions and is covered under Medicare for patients with:
ii. Effective October 1, 2000, single AuSCT is only covered for Durie-Salmon Stage II or III patients that fit the following requirements:
iii. Effective for services performed on or after March 15, 2005, when recognized clinical risk factors are employed to select patients for transplantation, high dose melphalan (HDM) together with AuSCT is reasonable and necessary for Medicare beneficiaries of any age group with primary amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis who meet the following criteria:
b. Nationally Non-Covered Indications
Insufficient data exist to establish definite conclusions regarding the efficacy of AuSCT for the following conditions:
In these cases, AuSCT is not considered reasonable and necessary within the meaning of §l862(a)(1)(A) of the Act and is not covered under Medicare.
B. Other
All other indications for stem cell transplantation not otherwise noted above as covered or non-covered nationally remain at Medicare Administrative Contractor discretion.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Before the Memorial Auditorium was built, sports fans flocked to another "Aud", which is now home to Buffalo's blizzard battlers.
The Broadway Auditorium hosted every sport from hockey to bicycle racing, bowling and boxing. It sat about 5,000 and was the home to sport entertainment for the early part of the 20th century.
The "Aud" was built onto the 65th Regiment Armory, as it was expanded and renovated, the armory building was ultimately demolished. The front wall of the armory, complete with turrets still stands as the back interior wall of the main garage.
These days the building has found new life as the city's "Broadway Barns". The garage is where the City of Buffalo stores it's plow fleet and salt stockpile. But even as the plows roll in and out, the stories still revolve around the building of the dayswhen the Buffalo Majors professional hockey team skated there or Buffalo's champ Jimmy Slattery poundedopposing pugilists.
Part of Buffalo'sforgotten history, the Broadway Auditorium.

Week one of my epic TypeTees Slogan-A-Day Experiment has just wrapped up. Wheww, and I have to admit that I am mentally exhausted! I underestimated how hard it would be to come up with just one original slogan a day. It's hard guys. Luckily, I've employed a bit of strategy. All of the slogan submissions some way had to do with an event or something that I experienced during the day. This helped. And so every Friday I will break down my seven Typetees submissions of the week … until I get printed by Threadless! So, if you're sick of this then vote me up so Threadless hurries and prints me! Or, if you enjoy the slogan – go ahead and give me some I'd Wear It's, it will make me smile.
My question for those of you who have submitted to TypeTees and have been printed – how long do you guys think this will take? What are the chances that any of my slogans will ever see the light of day on a TypeTees tee?
"I used to be fierce. Now I'm ruthless!"
Interesting, this was my inaugural TypeTees slogan entry. What was I thinking! And no, I was not listing to Beyonce prior to hitting submit. I actually just wrapped up watching Punisher: Warzone and this popped in my mind. Best of the three Punisher picks, BTW.Â
"What kind of egg are you?"
Eggs! This one was easy since on this day I was inspired by some of the best Eggs Benedict on the island. And being from Hawaii, it's not just any Eggs Benedict – it's Eggs Benedict on Kalua Pork from Cinnamon's in beautiful Kailua. Great way to spend a Sunday morning!
"This is me in high definition."
I believe I was flipping through the weekly Bestbuy ad when I realized that everything "good" nowadays must be high definition. And well, me in person is in fact me in high definition, so there you go.Â
"My life fits in a manila folder."
Very true. I'm an academic by training. I love school. When I finish grad school I plan to get a job as a University professor hence prolonging my stay in school indefinitely. And so, my life which is consumed by reading and reading over and over again research articles can literally fit in a manila folder. Just throw a couple of relevant articles into a manila folder on any given day and I am set.
"Please do not lean on torso."
I went to go and eat some char siu pork ramen from one of my favorite ramen restaurants, Goma Tei. While waiting to go in I noticed a Do Not Lean on Glass warning on a neighboring shops window.Â
"Four words: listen to the woman."
If you've got a girl in your life – listen to her! That's all I'm going to say here. Best advice ever.
"All you need to do to join my fan club is give me a hug."
If I had a fan club, the price to join would be a hug because hugs are one of the worlds greatest inventions.

- "Ravenclaw, make them sore!"
- —Ravenclaw Quidditch Crowd[src]
The Ravenclaw Quidditch team is one of the four house Quidditch teams at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Annual fixtures
- 1st Match: Hufflepuff - Ravenclaw
- Third/Fourth weekend in November
- 2nd Match: Ravenclaw - Slytherin
- Third/Fourth weekend in February
- 3rd Match: Gryffindor - Ravenclaw
- Third/Fourth weekend in May
When Ravenclaw played Gryffindor, Gryffindor were missing their Seeker, Harry Potter, who was unconscious in the hospital wing during the game. Ravenclaw gave Gryffindor their worst beating in three hundred years.[1] It is most likely that either Ravenclaw or Slytherin won the Quidditch Cup.
Although they got to play Hufflepuff , Ravenclaw's Quidditch Cup campaign was cut short due to the attacks on Muggle-born students and the reopening of the Chamber of Secrets. It is unknown how they were in the standings for that year.
It is likely Roger Davies was on the team this season, as he was Ravenclaw's Quidditch Captain for the next year.
Roger Davies was captain of the team this season. His fellow Chasers were Randolph Burrow and Jeremy Stretton. Jason Samuels and Duncan Inglebee played as Beaters. Cho Chang was Seeker and Grant Page was Keeper.[2]
Ravenclaw were narrowly defeated by Slytherin a week after the term after Christmas began.[3]
Their second match against Gryffindor was played on a clear, cool day with a very light breeze. Cho Chang flew a Comet Two Sixty, when taking on opposing Seeker, Harry Potter's Firebolt. Gryffindor took an eighty point lead, but Ravenclaw managed to reduce the lead to 80-30. Cho decided to mark Harry rather than seek out out the Snitch. When Harry Potter spotted the Snitch for the third time, Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle and Flint entered the pitch dressed as Dementors. Harry cast a Patronus at them and then caught the Snitch ahead of Cho giving Gryffindor the win.[4]
The result of the Ravenclaw versus Hufflepuff match is unknown.
Roger Davies held the team's captaincy. His fellow Chasers this season were Chambers and Bradley. Cho Chang was Ravenclaw's Seeker.
Ravenclaw defeated the Hufflepuff Quidditch team[5].
The final game of the season was Ravenclaw versus Gryffindor. The game was played in fine, clear conditions. Roger Davies opened the scoring, but Gryffindor Keeper, Ron Weasley managed to up his performances from the previous two matches and Gryffindor Seeker, Ginny Weasley caught the Snitch. Gryffindor won the match and the Quidditch Cup.[6]
Gryffindor defeated Ravenclaw in the final game 450-140 to recapture the Quidditch Cup.
Uniform and equipment
The Ravenclaw Quidditch team's uniforms are blue and bronze like their house colours.
For Beaters, they also carry small black clubs (similar to baseball bats) to help them ward off Bludgers during matches. The Keepers wear gloves to protect their hands.
Safety features
Generally, protective arm-length Quidditch gloves and knee-pads are the only armour used. In stormy conditions, some players wear goggles. However, the Keeper may wear shoulder-pads, chest armour and a helmet.

Behind the scenes
- The Ravenclaw Quidditch team is the only Hogwarts Quidditch team to not appear in the films.
- They are said to wear blue and bronze robes in the books, but in the video games they always wear blue and white/silver.
- Gilderoy Lockhart may have been a member of the team, possibly as a Seeker.[7]
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (video game) (First appearance)
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup

- "Yo! This is D-Ice of the Red Jacks! I got a problem they tryin' to play me. These young punks, they come onto the streets and they got nothing but guns and SPANK on their minds. 'Nines' is their tag and purple is their flag and each day they rock their colors... is another day the 'Jacks' look soft. I want you to show these punk ass bitches how a real drive-by works"
- ―D-Ice.
Uzi Money is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Red Jacks leader D-Ice from a public phone booth in the Wichita Gardens district Shoreside Vale, Liberty City.
D-Ice wants Claude to eliminate twenty Purple Nines in a drive-by within two minutes and thirty seconds. D-Ice supplies Claude with unlimited amount of Uzi ammos. Claude then locates and kills twenty Purple Nines, avoiding the Red Jacks who also attack Claude.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get a vehicle, remember only Uzi drive by kills count
- Ice 20 Purple Nines in 2 minutes 30 seconds
The reward for completing the mission is $10,000. Completing the mission unlocks Toyminator.
- The mission name is a wordplay on the phrase easy money.
- This mission is significantly easier to complete on PC, as the console version of the mission includes the player being continuosly rammed by Gang Rumpo's, this, combined with police attention, makes the mission extremely frustrating.
- The ideal vehicle for this mission is the bulletproof Patriot, which can be acquired in the mission Marked Man, or even the bulletproof Barracks OL, which can be acquired in the mission Arms Shortage and is strong enough to sustain ramming damage from the Gang Rumpo's and Police Cars.

While better classified as a joint business venture between several criminals, the Loco Syndicate was a collective outfit dealing with drugs, primarily cocaine. The Syndicate had its main operations based in San Fierro, and was made up of San Fierro's most powerful pimp Jizzy B, Rifa gang leader T-Bone Mendez, and the mysterious businessman (later revealed to be an undercover Government agent) Mike Toreno. Former Grove Street Family OG Big Smoke, who started up a large crack-cocaine empire, would later establish a business/drug deal with the Syndicate, sending his number two man, Ryder, and his formal representative to conduct business with them. The Loco Syndicate was the largest drug cartel in San Fierro and one of the most powerful in San Andreas, before Carl Johnson killed Ryder, Jizzy B and T-Bone Mendez. When the Loco Syndicate was consequently disbanded, Toreno returned to his usual duties and Big Smoke's narcotics empire ceased transactions with San Fierro.
As shown in the game, Mike Toreno is the Syndicate's brains and leader, calling the shots, making decisions and thinking business through. T-Bone is the muscle, he makes sure that Mike's orders, errands and deals are carried through perfectly. Finally, Jizzy is the group's face and charisma, recruiting men to pull hits, errands and other business for the Syndicate's dealings. It is indicated that Mike and T-Bone each receive 40% of the Syndicate's profits and Jizzy receives only 20% (which he complains about, although T-Bone says that he agreed to the 40-40-20 split before signing on with the group).
The Loco Syndicate also have strong ties with the local Mexican street gang; the San Fierro Rifa, as T-Bone Mendez is the leader of the Rifa. The Loco Syndicate often employ the Rifa for protection and to do small-time dirty jobs such as selling any remaining drugs on the streets - which they often pass on and sell to Los Santos gangs, especially the Los Santos Vagos.
The Syndicate most likely get their cocaine as it is smuggled into San Andreas from the harbour and airport in San Fierro. From here, they distribute and sell the cocaine to their business partners - which includes Big Smoke and the San Fierro Rifa. The Rifa and Big Smoke then sell the cocaine to the local gangs of Los Santos that are involved in drug trafficking. It is assumed that the Rifa sell the product to the Vagos as seen in the early mission Wrong Side of the Tracks, and that Big Smoke sells the product to the Ballas.
In relation to their drug partnership with Big Smoke's Crack Empire, Big Smoke sends a courier with money every Wednesday and Saturday from Los Santos to San Fierro to make the deal with the Loco Syndicate, who then return back to Los Santos to Big Smoke with the cocaine. The Loco Syndicate also operate a Crack/Drug labroatory in Doherty which is destroyed by Carl Johnson in the mission Yay Ka-Boom-Boom

Comments On Feb 05, 2014:I use it for an ice scraper on my truck than i do for mud.

Comments On Jan 14, 2014:Spade is well made but my problem with it is that when trying to use the nylon brush, the scraper part of the tool interferes and hits on the bike and doesn't allow the brush to get into tight spaces. I ended up getting a separate scraper and nylon brush, and this works much better. I don't use this tool anymore.

Comments On Apr 26, 2012:Does what it's supposed to do, but not with ease. Keep in mind this thing is smaller than it looks, it's about 20 inches or so. It's a tough material and scrapes well.

Comments On Jan 29, 2011:As a pre cleaning tool to power washing, it works great. Saves hours on your pressure washer and mess. Not the best tool I have seen for this, but it works pretty good. Real cost saver when I have to wash the bikes on the road. It has already saved me enough just from this use to pay for itself.

Comments On Jun 04, 2010:kind of flimsy, the curve doesn't do much good. its so thin it got sharpened after two uses. the brush is probably the best part. I wouldn't buy it again.

Legislators yesterday sought government's stand on the imported fish from Japan, claiming that there were reports that traces of radiation had been found on them.
Members of Parliament from the opposition camp and the committee said it was disappointing for the government to keep quiet when the fish consignment was already in the market.
Said Nkumba who tabled the Parliamentary Committee report on the Agriculture, Livestock, and Water sectors on behalf of the chairman, said there were reports that people have already consumed the fish.
The shadow minister for Livestock Development and Fisheries Sylvester Kasulumbayi told the House that according to some media reports, the imported fish consignment was contaminated with dangerous nuclear elements, but that it had been sold to customers in Dar e Salaam, Morogoro and Kilombero.
"If it was the Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority which allowed the company to import the consignment of fish after certifying that it was fit for human consumption,…who or which authority then established that the consignment was contaminated with radiated fish?" asked the shadow minister.
He questioned the government's move to import fish while the country is blessed with abundant stocks from all the rivers, lakes and the ocean.
"Why don't we spend our foreign currency in purchasing other needs that are not found in the country?" he asked.
The Alphakrust Company, which imported the consignment general manager, Ganeshan Vedagire, was quoted by media as saying that he was surprised at the orders to withhold the fish despite meeting all the local and international safety requirements for importation.
Only 225 kilogrammes of the controversial consignment of fish that had already been released into the market had been recalled by yesterday. There was no clear indication of how much had been sold, with stated figures ranging from 1.39-4 tonnes.
The minister for health and social welfare, Dr Hadji Mponda, confirmed that the ministry had intervened on the strength of a report from an anonymous informer.
The minister said three tonnes of the suspect fish distributed in Dar es Salaam, Morogoro and Kilombero had been recovered.
The TFDA acting director-general, Hiiti Sillo, said only 225 kgs of the one tonne sent out had been netted.
However, the Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission confirmed that it has issued a permit for importation of the fish from Japan.
Meanwhile the Minister for Livestock Development and Fisheries, Dr Mathayo David said the government has taken the fish samples to Kenya and South Africa for further testing.
Dr Mathayo explained that the government was earlier satisfied with the investigation reports issued on July 8th this year by the Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority (TFDA), Tanzania Atomic Mission Energy and ministry's Fisheries department.
He said that TFDA issued the fish importers with a permit '11/F/IER/0890' on July 11, 2011.
According to him, the fish were also inspected by the Japan Frozen Food Inspection department under its Ministry of Health which showed that fishes were in Japan since December 2011 and were safe for consumption upto June 2012.
The Minister said only a few tones of the fishes were distributed to the market. He said the government is searching for the 1,044 kilogrammes of fish which are in different markets in Morogoro, Kilombero and Dar es Salaam. He said that according to the Tanzania Revenue Authority a total of 124, 992 kilogrammes of fish were imported on July 18th, 2011.

Why do all rugged / underwater cameras except Sony have these retarded designs that look like the target audience is 12 years old?
It also seems like they skip basic camera features just for the opportunity to look dumb.
Certainly, most of the design is wasted to create some odd "look", rather than really maximize ruggedness. Whatever level of ruggedness they have could be better if the overall design was really focused on that, instead of idiotic ornamental flourishes coming from some brainwashed intern in the marketing department.
Sony's 'rugged' TX-10 shows how little is needed for the level of ruggedness and waterproofing offered.
These clunky designs are a lie and a stupid looking lie at that.
Whatever bulk you add, make it count, make form follow function.

A day after the Winnebago County health department announces a West Nile positive crow, administrators say they're being flooded with calls about dead birds.
But, the health department will not be collecting or testing any more dead crows turned in to them.
However, health administrators say they still need people to call into the dead crow hotline to report dead crows in order to track the density of West Nile in specific areas.
The Winnebago county health department's dead crow hotline is 740-2424. Operators will want to know when you found the bird and your address.

The semi-final battle gets under way, pitting Ash against Tobias. The talented Trainer is preceded by his reputation--he's been defeating his opponents using only his Darkrai. Tobias comes on strong and quick, defeating Ash's Heracross, Torkoal and Gible one after another! But when Ash brings out Sceptile, a spirited skirmish begins, and for the first time during the Sinnoh League, Darkrai is defeated!
Tobias is unfazed by this turn of events. He next brings out Latios, another surprisingly powerful Pokémon. And with one move, Ash's Sceptile is unable to battle.
Ash follows up by bringing out Swellow and a sky battle between Swellow and Latios ensues. Latios proves too powerful for Swellow and Ash is left with one Pokémon, while Tobias still has five!
When Ash turns to Pikachu as his final Pokemon, the action-filled bout gets even more intense and eventually both Latios and Pikachu are rendered unable to battle at the same time. And since Pikachu is Ash's last Pokémon, Tobias is declared the winner! This is the first time Ash has made it to the final four of an event of this magnitude and he has gained the respect of Tobias--who then goes on to triumph in his final battle and is declared the winner of the Sinnoh League!
We leave our heroes as Barry bids them all farewell. Both Ash and Dawn vow to continue pursuing their dreams, while in the face of their determination, Brock finds himself questioning his own plans...
- There is no Professor Oak's lecture at the end of this episode. Instead, a minute-long preview for the Best Wishes series is shown.
- As of BW101 this episode marks the last appearance of Sceptile, Heracross, Torkoal, Swellow, and Gible.
- Another episode has a similar English title as this episode.
- This episode marks the only time Ash has flipped his hat in the Diamond & Pearl series during battle.
- This episode's English title is a reference to the phrase the final frontier.
- This is the only episode of Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors that kept the entire Japanese music unaltered, including the title card music.
- This currently is the farthest that Ash has ever gotten in a Pokémon League, reaching the Top 4.
- After Tobias defeated Ash, in the scoreboard a Mismagius silhouette appears in place of Swellow's one. Also, the Torkoal and Darkrai silhouettes are slightly different from before.
- After Ash told Pikachu to use Quick Attack the first time, he said for Pikachu to use Volt Tackle. When it hit Latios's Giga Impact, it was Quick Attack.

It was another beautiful day in Corvallis, a perfect day to be in Reser watching some Beaver football. With the sun coming out, the defense decided to come out and strut their stuff as well. Coach Mike Riley let his guys go out and hit each other as the second half of practice was for most part a scrimmage.The defense was consistently in the backfield, getting to the quarterback and forcing bad throws. Defensive ends Gabe Miller and Taylor Henry, as well as defensive tackles Castro Masaniai and Brennan Olander, were dominant at times throughout practice. Masaniai could be a bigger Stephen Paea in the making. Speaking of Paea, he kept a rather low profile today as he did not participate in the scrimmage portion of practice.It wasn't all bad play on the offensive side of the ball as several players stepped up and made plays throughout the scrimmage. Wide receivers Markus Wheaton and Geno Munoz both turned in solid practices, with Wheaton catching every ball thrown his way and Munoz working well in the intermediate passing game. ...More...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The head of a major defense contractor is warning that he might have to lay off 10,000 workers if Congress fails to agree on an alternative to automatic budget cuts.
Robert J. Stevens, chairman and chief executive officer of Lockheed Martin Corp., delivered that message Wednesday in testimony to the House Armed Services Committee. Executives from several other defense manufacturers also sounded the alarm about the across the board reductions slated to go into effect Jan. 2.
Republicans and Democrats are trying to undo the cuts they voted for last summer when they agreed to a deficit-cutting budget.
Despite the gloom, a report this past spring from Price Waterhouse Coopers found that the top 100 aerospace and defense companies reported $677 billion in revenue and $60 billion in profits.

Rx Club Show 25TH Anniversary
The Rx Club Show has evolved to reflect the dramatic technological changes over the last 25 years, but as Richard Prince, who got his start in advertising, has said, "The subject comes first, the medium second." Those working in the creative disciplines know that the iPad isn't the originator of big ideas; instead, big ideas are brought to bear on the iPad and its capabilities. The function of media is to transmit, not create.With that said, what big ideas received The Rx Club Show's accolades this year? A glance at the winning ads reveals a few trends worth mentioning. First, there is an intriguing prevalence of conflict, if not outright combativeness. Taglines such as "Heart-won victories" (CDM) and "You've won the battle, don't lose the war" (Langland), position disease as a figurative antagonist, something to literally fight against. Dudnyk's corporate branding ads reflect the agency's stated "adapt or die" mentality, with imagery that likens the quest for market share to a street fight, or an aggressive football game. Perhaps the global economic situation is bringing out the fight in all of us.
The second trend has to do with 'otherness,' or the idea that a health condition isn't a physiological part of who we are; it's an elephant sitting on your chest (Draftfcb Healthcare). Glucose toxicity turns a hamburger into a spider, French fries into a scorpion (Sudler & Hennessey Milan). In GSW Worldwide's print ads, negative perceptions themselves—about taking mealtime insulin, in this case—are depicted as hulking monsters. It's not simply an anthropomorphic projection of human characteristics onto animals; the symptoms of disease are the animals—that is, they are alien and separate from the human condition. Again, more evidence of the attack mode to draw audience attention.
A third trend focuses on the connectivity of patients and healthcare providers, with Indegene Lifesystems' Virtual Patient Concierge, McCann Healthcare Worldwide Japan's See The Cold, and Saatchi Wellness's Wall of Survivorship. See The Cold, an online visual locator of cold outbreaks, was built for SSP, a division of Boehringer Ingelheim, and won the gold for best consumer website. In the future, it will be interesting to see how creative directors straddle this divide, between patient connectedness and community, and the very individual battle against a health condition. In the meantime, medical science will proceed in its role as the Pied Piper of disease, luring patients and providers into sampling new treatments. In an increasingly crowded therapeutic field, advertising has no choice but to be positioned to help drive uptake post launch.
