SPANK is a drug first introduced in Grand Theft Auto III. This drug is most likely based off cocaine, as it comes in a white, powdery substance (the hidden packages in Liberty City are also white powder). It also shares similarities with meth, in that it takes a serious toll on the user's sanity (as seen in Kingdom Come). Produced by the Colombian Cartel and brought into Liberty City through several ways, the drug serves as a plot device throughout GTA III.
The drug is first mentioned during the mission Don't Spank Ma Bitch Up, where a local thug is supplying Luigi Goterelli's prostitutes with the drug, which Luigi feels is bad for business. As revealed in Farewell 'Chunky' Lee Chong, SPANK is also found to be channeled though the local Triads, as "Chunky" Lee Chong sells it at his stands in Chinatown. In the mission Kingdom Come, "SPANKed-up madmen" with bombs attached to their chests attempt to kill Claude in the Liberty Tree parking lot, a plan devised by the Uptown Yardies and Catalina. Then, in mission Espresso-2-Go!, where Columbians sell SPANK disguised as "Kappa Coffee House" stalls throughout Liberty City. In an attempt to disrupt Catalina's operations, Asuka Kasen instructs Claude in S.A.M. to blow up an incoming shipment of SPANK (described by Asuka as "Catalina's poison") and collect the loot for Asuka.
In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Rise FM DJ Boy Sanchez says that he tried out a new drug on the streets called SPANK which suggests that the drug was present at least since 1998. There is no clear, concise evidence that this drug was manufactured before its mentioning in 1998, but it is thought that it, or something very similar, can be seen in 1986, as a Distribution mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City may be used to sell a SPANK-like drug to citizens.
- It is a play on methamphetamine, nicknamed crank -- and heroin, nicknamed smack.
- The word SPANK is a reference to the physical act of spanking, specifically, knowing Rockstar, spanking for sexual enjoyment. Spank and smack are related terms in this context.
- Valkyr in the Max Payne franchise is suspiciously similiar to Spank for being developed by the military.

A medical call turned violent after police were forced to arrest a man who fought with firefighters and cops Friday evening.
Residents of a home on the 6600 block of Sproul Lane in Colorado Springs opened their front door to find a man, 21-year-old Joshua Perkins, passed out on their front porch. They called police and paramedics to check on Perkins.
When police arrived, they saw four firefighters trying to hold down an intoxicated Perkins, who had awaken and become agitated. Police handcuffed Perkins and attempted to place him in the back of a cruiser.
Police say that is when Perkins pulled away from officers and headbutted an officer in the face. Police forced Perkins to the ground and got him in the back of a police car.
Once they arrived at the police station, police say Perkins refused to exit the cruiser. According to a police statement, he tried several times to kick out the rear door window of the car.
Police tried spraying Perkins with pepper spray, but say that didn't work. Still unruly, police shot Perkins with a Taser, which they say caused Perkins to become more cooperative.
Police have not disclosed what charges Perkins faces. The officer that Perkins allegedly headbutted received minor injuries in the scuffle. There were no other reports of injuries in this case.

Several counties in Eastern Carolina are considered "at risk" for losing millions of dollars in funding, simply if people don't fill out their 2010 Census forms.
The group Democracy North Carolina analyzed counties for their history of low rates of mailing back their Census forms or they have a large amount of people who typically have low response rates. Some of those reasons include poverty.
"For every 1,000 residents not counted, a county could lose $1.5 million a year for school programs, health care, job training, housing, senior centers and more," said Bob Hall, director of Democracy North Carolina, the nonpartisan group that conducted the analysis.
Democracy North Carolina considers ten counties in Eastern North Carolina as "high risk" for census under count, including Bertie, Duplin, Edgecombe, Greene, Halifax, Hertford, Northampton, Onslow, Pitt and Wilson.
Nine counties are considered at "elevated risk." They are Beaufort, Hyde, Jones, Lenoir, Nash, Pender, Tyrrell, Washington and Wayne Counties.

Game of Thrones: Season Three
If the last season felt like a set-up, then the highly anticipated season three is the payoff we've all been waiting for.PT6M11S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2gy3t 620 349 March 29, 2013
The fight against internet piracy has been moved up a gear with Foxtel announcing it is to "fast-track" dozens of new programs to air, some within hours of their US screenings.
More than 40 programs - including some of the most-downloaded - have been named in the Foxtel express strategy designed to counter any incentive to break the law.
"Our strategy is simple, deliver the best TV to our audiences as it becomes available," said Foxtel executive director of television, Brian Walsh.
It'll only be a matter of hours before Mad Men's season six screens in Australia after being on air in the US.
"Closing the window between US or UK premiere dates and the program launch here in Australia is our priority."
Other programs to be fast tracked include Games Of Thrones (going to air two hours after America), Veep (also delayed by just two hours from America), Mad Men (four hours delay) and True Blood (airing same day and date as US).
Other programming will have different lag, some a few days and others such as The Ultimate Fighter 17, airing just 30 minutes after its US screening.
Game of Thrones has been one of the most illegally dowloaded shows, can season three be different?
This latest round of fast-tracking comes after a previous announcement by the Pay TV broadcaster that it would be speeding shows to air.
Last September Foxtel confirmed it would express shows including Sons Of Anarchy to air, with the free-to-air networks - most notably Ten - following suit.
The ABC had already been speeding imported shows to air, using its iView platform to air programs to local audiences shortly after their overseas airdates.
In the case of Doctor Who, the episodes were aired online - legally - by the ABC a week before their television screenings.
Brian Walsh said he hoped by moving programs closer to their overseas airdates people would lose any incentive to break the law.
"This strategy has so far been very successful, for example this season of The Walking Dead, which is broadcast express from the US only 33 hours after US transmission, has delivered larger audiences to Foxtel (as) more people source the program legally," he said.
Coincidentally, the announcement comes just days after Game Of Thrones creator George R R Martin said he understood why fans of the series based on his books resorted to illegal downloads if the networks insisted on delaying broadcast.
"[Game of Thrones] is the most pirated show in the world, a lot of it coming from Australia," Martin told reporters at a screening of the series' much-anticipated third season (airing in Australia on April 1).
"They delay it six months there, and the people won't wait so they download it."
It has been estimated (by US torrent tracking site TorrentFreak) 400,000 Australians downloaded illegal episodes of Game Of Thrones last season.

Hey friends is any body know that Where can we find a free POP server?
Hey friends is any body know that Where can we find a free POP server?
In the absence of information as to your needs, what mail server, if any, you are presently running, etc., you might begin with the list at POP: Server implementations.
I thought he was looking for one of these -
You can't create artful marketing with color by number seo
Does anyone still make those?
They actually have this thing on TV nowadays where you can buy your own machine that carbonates water from the faucet, so now you can do it at home and leave the guy with the bad bow tie at home haha
Google applications can give you free pop3 access for any domain name which will allows to receive (read) emails, is that what you need?
it's not a pop client, it's a pop service (server) but it's managed by google.
my guess is that the OP want to use some domain name he has and use it for email purposes, which is why i suggested Google apps.
if im interpreting the OP wrong, my apologies.
A POP client provides for receiving e-mails from a POP server.
While Google's Gmail/Apps includes both the server and the client, it works only on Google's servers. It does not provide a server module that can be added to your own e-mail server.
Is it for Microsoft Windows or Linux? If it is Linux I recommend qmail which is free

After the Miami Heat won the NBA Championship on Thursday night, Drake tried to get into their dressing room and was denied. Someone at the door told him, "No access. This is media only." And Drake actually said, "I am the media." It didn't work. Drake did hook up with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade later on at a club, so it's all good. By the way, Drake's new album "Nothing Was the Same," comes out September 17th.
Chris Brown has reportedly cut a Rihanna duet from his upcoming album, "X", because he and Rihanna are no longer together. A source says, "Just saw the working track list for 'X' yesterday. Rihanna is not on there." His album comes out July 16th.
Aaron Carter claims he was assaulted in Boston over the weekend because he was performing there, and Boston is New Kids on the Block's turf. He says some guys jumped him, after one yelled, "This is the town of the New Kids." Aaron said, "People think I'm a pretty little white boy but no way. I think I won. I'm still standing." Aaron fought them off, but got bruised-up in the process. His show went on as planned. See the pictures of his face HERE!
Even though he's one of the stars of it, Jim Carrey can no longer get behind "Kick-Ass 2" because of the violence. He Tweeted, "I did Kick-Ass 2 a month before Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence. My apologies to others involved with the film. I am not ashamed of it but recent events have caused a change in my heart."
Despite rumors to the contrary, sources say Kanye West did not propose to Kim Kardashian. That is all.

West African Food: Wasota African Cuisine
by Sara Osburn
posted Apr 15 2012 7:50PM
Sara and Cass Around the World Food Tour
Two girls who love some Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern on The Travel Channel have decided to check out as many ethnic restaurants/stores around Austin as they can!
Second stop:
Wasota African Cuisine - 1209 South First St.
Click here for their website
Click here for her facebook.
: I can't believe I had never heard of this place before. The food was so good...it was SOOO good. I literally could not stop eating....and I am still craving a second helping. Lawrence was able to help us order...as there was a lot of the menu I had never heard of. There are so many great veggie/vegan options! My fav was the black eyed peas w/ fried plantains. You might be thinking...what is special about black eyed peas? Well...it is the african spices...they are different from anything I have ever tasted. The prices are low, and the portions are big. Wasota is a GREAT example of a GREAT food trailer. . I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu. Go support Lawrence!
It's not every day you eat a meal that you can't stop thinking about for days and days following it.....but that's what happened when Sara and I ate at Wasota African Cuisine. The owner Lawrence, was an absolute doll, and the food was some of the most flavorful and interesting food I've ever had. I was impressed by how good the food was and how affordable it was. I can't wait to go back and try more of Lawrence's authentic West African food. He is a truly talented chef!
What we had:
We had 2 plates between us and it was more then enough food. We had the
Black Eyed Peas and Plantains
, and the
Stewed Goat with Fufu and Egusi Soup.
The trailer is in the Bouldin Creek Food Park on South First
There are a lot of interesting choices on the menu!
The owner Lawrence is SO NICE! He is the man behind the food!
This is black eyed peas with plantains - $4.95
Stewed Goat with FuFu (mashed african yams) and Egusi Soup - $11.95
(that spinich was flipping awesome)

Yields 12 cupcakes
Devil's food is a classic American chocolate cake, though there's no exact definition of what it means. Generally Devil's food is made with cocoa instead of chocolate (though this recipe uses both). In any case, these are just what everyone wants in a chocolate cupcake—chocolaty, moist, and light. When making the batter, one of the most important steps is to slowly drizzle in the oil as if you were making a mayonnaise. The bittersweet chocolate must be finely chopped because it is not melted but rather folded in at the end to give an extra depth of chocolate flavor to the cupcakes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.
Put the cocoa powder in a bowl and pour the boiling water over it, whisking until you have a smooth paste. Add the sour cream and salt and whisk to combine. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
Place the egg yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment. Add the brown sugar and begin mixing on medium-high speed. Drizzle in the oil in a slow, steady stream to emulsify the mixture as if you were making a mayonnaise. Remove the bowl from the mixer and set aside. (Note: Unless you don't mind whipping egg whites by hand, you will need to transfer the yolk-oil mixture to another bowl and wash the mixer bowl and the whisk attachment. Or, if you have an extra bowl for your electric mixer, you will have to wash only the whisk.)
Place the egg whites in the clean bowl of the electric mixer with the clean whisk attachment and, while whipping on medium-high speed, gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to whip until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Add the cocoa mixture to the yolk-oil mixture and use a whisk (by hand) to combine. Pour this mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and whisk by hand for 1 minute to aerate.
Fold in the whipped egg whites in 3 additions using a rubber spatula and taking care not to deflate the whites.
Fold in the chopped chocolate and vanilla extract.
As soon as you've finished the batter, fill the muffin pan and bake your cupcakes. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan, using about 1⁄3 cup batter per cupcake and dividing the batter evenly among the wells of the pan.
Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, until the tops are nicely domed with a few cracks on top and a skewer inserted in a cupcake comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Don't open the oven for at least the first 20 minutes to get the best rise from the cupcakes. After 20 minutes, you can check the cupcakes and bake for a few minutes longer as needed.
Remove the muffin pan from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes, before removing the cupcakes from the pan. Continue to cool the cupcakes to room temperature before icing them.
Use the tip of a paring knife to scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean. Reserve the scrapings to add to the buttercream later and save the pod to make vanilla bean sugar.
Place the egg whites and sugar in a bowl (it's easiest just to use the bowl of the electric mixer) placed over a pot of simmering water (the bottom of the bowl the water should not touch) and stir with a rubber spatula until the mixture begins to smell like cooked eggs, 8 to 10 minutes. The mixture should not be so hot that you can't put your finger in it, but it should be too hot to hold your finger in it for long. If you want to check the temperature with a thermometer, it should read 160°F.
Remove the bowl from the heat, place it in the electric mixer with the whisk attachment, and whip on medium-high speed until the egg white mixture is very thick and has cooled to room temperature (it should look as thick as shaving cream), 10 to 15 minutes. The egg white mixture will cool as it whips. Feel it with your finger at this point—it should feel like it is no longer warm enough to melt butter.
Turn the mixer to medium speed and add the butter gradually, about a tablespoon at a time, until all the butter is fully incorporated. When you get halfway through adding the butter, scrape down the bowl. Turn the mixer up to high speed and whip the buttercream for 1 minute.
Add the vanilla bean seeds, vanilla extract, and salt and whip for 30 seconds more. Scrape down the bowl again and be sure all the flavorings are well mixed in.
To create spikes of buttercream (as pictured), transfer the frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4 or 5/16-inch plain tip. Pipe dollops of buttercream onto the cupcake, working your way from the outside rim to the middle of the cupcake.

As if the exaggerated features of this classic mask weren't scary enough, our Bleeding Ghost Face Scream Costume for Boys takes the fear factor up a notch. It comes with a hooded robe, belt, bleeding mask, pump, and fake blood. The long black robe features a jagged hemline and matching long sleeves with wing like attachments. Pull the hood up and over the white Ghost Face mask. The long sleeves of the robe allow the wearer to conceal the tube that carries the fake blood from the pump in your hand up to the mask, where it sloshes around and replenishes with each squeeze. This is the sort of Halloween gimmick that boys go crazy for. Order accessories and weapon props like a bloody machete or sickle to match.

Activities and Examples: Using Data in the Classroom Today
This collection contains links to on-line activites for teaching STEM concepts with data of all types and examples that describe ways in which on-line, published, and student-collected data are currently used in teaching and learning.
This collection includes both data activities identified from across the web as well as a local example collection.

Cash-Caching Automaton
The Cash-Caching Automaton, or "CasCA", is a machine designed to dispense coins to Makers for use with the drink, candy, and snack machines. Many people don't carry around cash or change, but the vending machines at the shop currently only accept coins or dollar bills. This machine will make use of personal accounts assigned to Makers that may be funded by PayPal, Bitcoin, and other manual forms of payment, like checks or cash. Below is the current list of desired features:
- The machine should be able to reliably dispense a user-selectable number of quarters (not too few, or too many)
- It should be able to offer multiple forms of user-authentication:
- Username + password
- Makers door-authentication thumbdrive (plus optional pin number/password)
- (Possible) Smartphone authentication via QR displayed on screen
- (Possible) Other smartphone authentication: NFC, Bluetooth, WiFi?
- (Possible) RFID tag
- (Possible) Google Authenticator
- Accounts should be automatically fund-able at the machine via PayPal or Bitcoin
- Accounts may be manually funded via check or cash
- Can show account balance on screen
- MUST have secure connection to a secure database for transactions
- Easy to physically refill with quarters
- Automatic email notification when low on quarters
- Display a message on a screen when low on quarters
- Able to dispense coins without an account when using PayPal or Bitcoin
- Physical and account-based intrusion detection and notification
v0.1. Requirements
- Only dispense $0.50
- Determine amount in machine
- Dispense change
- Don't charge if there isn't any money.
- USB Member Authentication
- Manual Deposit
- Red empty light
- Remove dollar acceptor
We've purchased a old change machine from a guy out in Trinity. It is a small, tabletop unit that should work quite well for the quarter dispenser, since it already handles giving out quarters and checking for low levels. It is also already lockable and theft-resistant. The machine's dollar acceptor did not work, so we will not be able to retain the bill-to-quarters functionality.
A previously proposed design for the dispenser was to use a tall 1" i.d. pipe (PVC) to store the quarters to be dispensed. The bottom of the pipe would have small slot where a single quarter may slide though and a sensor to detect whether there are any quarters remaining. A servo would move forward to push a quarter out of the slot, and move back to let the stack of quarters slide down.
- method of data entry for account usage and USB drive usage
- Raspberry Pi?
- NFC and some RFID
- Tiny combined USB BT and WiFi card?
Cost Analysis
Progress Log
22:57, 5 November 2012 (CST): The small desktop change machine has been acquired and tinkered with. Jimshoe has hooked up a switch that will manually trigger the dispensing of up to four quarters at a time. This switch will be replaced by a transistor or relay that will be controlled electronically.
22:57, 21 November 2012 (CST): Code has been written that interprets commands over serial and calls different functions based on the commands and inputs. This code has been committed to the new CasCA git repository on GitHub.
23:17, 16 December 2012 (CST): Successfully tested relay board with some coin-dispensing Arduino code additions. Added some simple money-tracking to the Arduino code: it can now be refilled, quarters can be dispensed, coin levels checked, and no attempts to dispense coins will be made if not enough coins are in the machine.
00:21, 24 January 2013 (CST): Added basic support for the status light on the machine. When no money is available for withdrawal, the light will blink three times and then stay on. When the machine is refilled, the light will turn back off.

Two people are facing charges in connection to a prostitution case.
Telicia Jones and Emory Alexander were arrested in Lamar. Police were called out to a domestic dispute in the parking lot of a Love's Country Store. They say Alexander threw Jones's possessions out of his semi-truck.
Police say when they interviewed the pair they learned Alexander had paid Jones for a sexual act.
Jones is now charged with prostitution and is in jail on a $500 bond. Among Alexander's charges are domestic violence and solicitation of sex.

That looks great, I really like the penmanship.
For contours, why do anything different than what you've got? The slope lines in pen are great, and the colour treatment looks a bit like watercolour washes so far
This is something I've been playing with, again to learn PS. It's a small trading village near borderlands of population / desolation. It is run by a manor lord who has fallen out of favor with the current powers that be. Even though thrown to the neatherlands he recognized the value to the land to raise sheep. He established some dye houses and weaving houses to process the wool and dye it for trade back into his lands and for export for sale. The place has become a favored place for caravans heading into the rugged realms just beyond. Just for RobA it has a butcher, baker and a candlestick maker LOL!!
Ok here's my process for this. freehand sketch (regular 8.5 x 11 copy paper) to develope the general feel for the town based on the above concept. scanned in sketch, loaded into PS. set up a layer system of water, grassland, trees and buildings. Thats it so far. Colors are massed in per the appropriate layer, I don't care if they overlap etc at this point. Some stuff looks ok, some stuff sucks We can see the background layer which really help define the hillfort mound, but I've really got to figure out how to do my contour method in PS. I will individual draw in the building etc. Comments / crits as always welcome.
just a side by side with the latest version to see the overall change

That looks really good, I don't have any recommendations for contours; they look better then anything I could of done.
I have to agree with the others, the contours look great already, some things are just so difficult to imitate digitally... I would seriously consider keeping them. ^^ I will be watching this thread closely. I cannot wait to see what the finished map will look like.
I have to agree with the others about you contours...they are great and I think that they would only add to a finished PS product. I too will be looking forward to your progress on this one...as always.

Please take my critiques as someone who Wishes he had the Talent
Contours aye there's the rub these are on the background layer, so is all the other trash, notes etc, so when I turn off the layer - poof LOL no contours (per the inking anyway). I made a copy of the background layer but when I erase on the copy layer I get the transparency checkerboard in the drawing. I haven't at this point figured out how to eliminate this issue. I like the way the contours look, I just haven't figured a way to get PS to cooperate! Actually without the background ink work this is really absolutely nothing, just a piece of junk, so I need to work this out.
I'm a PS newbie but I came across the issue you describe and solved it by either adding another layer filled with white colour below the layer you are erasing from (and later making them one layer) or tried erasing (with a brush) with an actual colour sampled from your sketch... There are probably easier ways to do it, maybe with the clone tool?
Hope it helps :/
Yes, make a white layer underneath it. Also you could try setting that background layer with the contours on to multiply to reduce some of the noise.
What about copying and then pasting the contours onto a new layer. Select by color with minimum threshold choosing white and then delete.
Remember that I have no clue about PS, so this might be way out in left field....in the next town... but it might work

Wirelizard, eViLe_eAgLe thanks for the comments, appreciated
Lyandra, Larb, Korash Thanks this white layer under the copied background layer does the trick, well once you remember to fill the layer white LOL. I'll put the contours on another layer in the revised edition, ya I'm changing the layout atm MUHAHA I really didn't like the location of the hill fort so I'm redoin the layout. Update maybe a little slow coming I've got some things to address before I get back on this. Thanks again for helping solve this, frustration level at times wants to make me just forget it!!

Sandia National Labs recently hosted an informational seminar on flying Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Participants learned how unmanned aerial systems can reduce costs and expand program capabilities. The presentation explained the process for obtaining approval to fly a UAS at Sandia, described operational requirements, and shared lessons learned from direct program experience.
"Stockpile Stewardship: How we ensure the nuclear deterrent without testing" is a recently-released video by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory that explains stockpile stewardship and Livermore's role in it. For a behind-the-scenes look at the unique capabilities at the lab that are indispensable to NNSA's Stockpile Stewardship Program, watch below. The video covers high performance computing, the Superblock category II nuclear facility, the JASPER a two stage gas gun, the High Explosive Applications Facility (HEAF), the National Ignition Facility (NIF), and the Site 300 contained firing facility.
Each summer, Sandia highlights research, activities and people at Sandia California in a special edition of Lab News.
This year's issue highlights a story about researchers that are using their "fuze" expertise in assisting the Air Force. Other stories include big data, climate modeling, how the adoption of natural gas vehicles would have little effect on emission objectives, and a feature about summer interns.

NNSA Assistant Deputy Administrator for Stockpile Management Steve Goodrum recently presented Defense Programs Awards of Excellence (DPAE) to 175 Pantexans who excelled at Stockpile Stewardship work during 2013.
The seven awards were presented to teams involved in a variety of efforts, including nuclear weapons work, environmental remediation, high explosives testing and production planning.
The DPAE program was established in 1982 to recognize individuals or teams for significant achievements in quality, productivity, cost savings, safety or creativity of work performed in support of the Stockpile Stewardship Program.

Los Alamos National Laboratory has successfully fired the latest in a series of experiments at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). The experiment provides important surrogate hydrodynamic materials data in support of NNSA's mission.
The experiment, dubbed Leda, was conducted on Aug. 12, 2014, and consisted of plutonium surrogate material and high explosives to implode a "weapon-relevant geometry."
Hydrodynamic experiments such as Leda involve non-nuclear surrogate materials that mimic many of the properties of nuclear materials. Hydrodynamics refers to the physics involved when solids, under extreme conditions, begin to mix and flow like liquids. Other hydrodynamic experiments conducted at NNSS use small amounts of nuclear material, and are called "sub-critical" because they do not contain enough material to cause a nuclear explosion.
See the video.

Officials from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have named NNSA's Pantex Plant a Weather-Ready Nation (WRN) Ambassador. The WRN program is a new initiative to spread critical information to residents about how to prepare for and respond to a weather emergency. Ambassadors take the lead in helping unify efforts across government, non-profits, academia and private industry to make the nation more ready, responsive and resilient against severe weather.
Pantex joined Carson County this month as a WRN Ambassador, with plans for multiple events throughout September to spread the message about weather preparedness to Pantexans and county residents. Pantex is the first DOE entity named a WRN Ambassador, and Carson County is the first county in the Texas Panhandle to achieve the designation.

The four are loaned executives from Pantex sent to support the United Way campaign. This year's theme is "Make it Personal." Each year, Pantex employees pledge hundreds of thousands of dollars to United Way of Amarillo and Canyon, making the plant a top giver to the campaign.
Several national laboratories and institutions have joined forces to develop and apply the most complete climate and Earth system model to address the most challenging and demanding climate change issues.
Accelerated Climate Modeling for Energy, or ACME, is designed to accelerate the development and application of fully coupled, advanced Earth system models for scientific and energy applications.
Fourteen institutions will work together to develop the most accurate climate change predictions yet and investigate fundamental questions, such as the interaction of clouds and climate and the role of secondary organic aerosols. The partners include eight national laboratories — Sandia, Argonne, Brookhaven, Lawrence Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Pacific Northwest — along with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, four academic institutions and one private sector company.

United Earth Space Probe Agency
this wiki
The United Earth Space Probe Agency, commonly abbreviated UESPA, was an organization centered on Earth responsible for the exploration of space. They were headquartered at UESPA Headquarters. (TOS: "Charlie X")
In 2067, UESPA launched the Friendship 1 probe to the Delta Quadrant as part of a series of unmanned exploration probes. (VOY: "Friendship One")
By the 2130s, UESPA had been supplanted by Starfleet as the leading United Earth space exploration service. Together, UESPA and Starfleet accomplished many missions. (ENT: "First Flight")
In 2150, various UESPA personnel were involved in the construction of the spacecraft Enterprise. (Star Trek: Enterprise set artwork)
In 2155, the opening conference that discussed a possible "Coalition of Planets" was overseen by both UESPA and Starfleet. (ENT: "Demons")
In the 2260s, UESPA was still a major operating agency working with Starfleet vessels. By 2267, UESPA was the operating authority of the USS Enterprise's five-year mission, as Captain James T. Kirk informed John Christopher. (TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday") In 2266, Kirk reported to UESPA Headquarters after learning of the destruction of the Antares. (TOS: "Charlie X")
In 2293, UESPA personnel were still involved in construction of Starfleet starships, most noticeably on the USS Enterprise. (Star Trek Generations set artwork)
UESPA personnel
Enterprise (NX-01)
The following personnel were noted for their work with the United Earth Space Probe Agency on the Enterprise NX-01 in 2151. (Star Trek: Enterprise)
- Captain Gene Roddenberry
- Captain W.M. Jefferies
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-B)
The following personnel were noted for their work with UESPA on the USS Enterprise-B on stardate 9715.5. (Star Trek Generations)
UESPA (pronounced "you-spah") was first mentioned in abbreviated form in TOS: "Charlie X" and the acronym was spelled out in TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday". It was one of several names given in early episodes for the agency under which the Enterprise and its crew operated before writers finally settled on "Starfleet".
It later appeared in VOY: "Friendship One" when the probe Friendship 1 had the letters "UESPA-1" on its hull. It also showed an emblem looking like a mixture between the UN's and Starfleet's logo.
UESPA also appeared on the bridge dedication plaque of the USS Enterprise-B. (Star Trek Generations).
Its name was seen on a Starfleet Command logo in ENT: "Demons".
It can be reasonably assumed that UESPA officer Gene Roddenberry's ship, the VK Velikan, operated under UESPA authority.
UESPA was mentioned in unseen portions of the Picard family album, in the article "It's Federation Day!". Major General Georges Picard, an aide to Thomas Vanderbilt, implies here that he fought the Romulan scourge, which itself implies that UESPA was in some way involved in the Earth-Romulan War.
Captain Kirk refers to UESPA as a "combined service," but he is vague enough that it is more likely that he was actually referring to his Starfleet crew. It is possible that starship crews of his time were a combined service of both the naval ranked Starfleet and the military ranked UESPA officers. This would explain the use of military ranks in "The Cage". This may also explain West's rank of colonel in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

Pasadena, CA (Sports Network) - Stepfan Taylor ran for 142 yards and two
touchdowns on 20 carries and 11th-ranked Stanford took down No. 15 UCLA,
35-17, in a preview of next week's Pac-12 Championship game.
These two teams will face each other again next Friday in the Pac-12
Championship game, with Stanford hosting UCLA in the rematch. Thanks to last
week's win over then-No. 1 Oregon and Saturday's victory, Stanford took the
North Division, while UCLA had already conquered the South Division coming
into Saturday's game to set up the championship match.
Kevin Hogan went 15-for-22 with 160 yards and a touchdown for the Cardinal
(10-2, 8-1 Pac-12), who have won six straight games.
UCLA's Brett Hundley was pressured all day, as he was sacked seven times and
went just 20-of-38 for 261 yards with one touchdown and one interception for
the Bruins (9-3, 6-3), who had a five-game winning streak snapped.

Karin is an automotive company in the HD Universe of Grand Theft Auto.
The company is most likely based off the real-life manufacturers Toyota or Lexus, as Karin's logo bears a strong resemblance to Lexus's corporate logo, yet some Karin cars are inspired by Toyota models.
However, the Sultan RS and Korean Mob Sultan are modified like Subarus even though they are both based on a Lexus (luxury subsidiary owned by Toyota) combined with a Mitsubishi; and the Intruder is based on Infiniti. But it should be noted that Toyota owns a small part of Subaru and the companies have made certain vehicles together (Toyota 86 & Subaru BRZ). It can also be implied that Karin is a Japanese luxury car manufacturer.
The name might be a parody of Kia as Kia and Karin are spelt similarly and are both girls' names; the logo also bears resemblance to their corporate logo (mainly the top left tip of the "K"). The name might also be a reference to Toyota's Carina series.

Hannah eats Fromm Gold and loves it. We switched her from Three Dog Bakery Adult Chicken a few months ago because her poops were like soft-serve ice cream on that.
We also mix up Honest Kitchen's Perfect Form into a paste with her food - it aids digestion and everything she "leaves outside" is much smaller and firm, so I feel she's really soaking up the good stuff. Her coat is beautiful, too!

Also, in all of the grain-free formulas, a meat source is listed as the first ingredient; they list pea flour somewhere around the 3rd to 5th ingredient. Most other high quality grain forumula foods list their grains as the 3rd to 5th ingredient. Looks like FROMM uses pea protein in place of grains. I'd much rather my dogs eat highly digestible pea protein over poorly digested grain carbohydrates any day.

Fromm uses Pea Protein instead of meat. It is cheap and consumers accept it but in reality it is just another form of corn gluten or any other vegetable concentrate. Pea Protein has the same or more protein per gram as Chicken, Turkey or Lamb Meal and 3 times the protein of fresh chicken,
Earthborn does the same.
Whose says grains are poorly digested by the way? Can I see any evidence you have?
Fromm lists a water-inclusive meat source ahead of Pea Protein in a few formulas.
Other than oats, whole grains that you would find in dog food are rather low in protein. Barley is a bit higher than rice or corn. Despite what you read whole corn does not have much protein, but it has some high levels of certain amino acids. Rice is rather low in protein.
Any food with 30% total protein without a vegetable concentrate like corn gluten, wheat gluten, rice gluten, pea protein, potato protein will have about 90% protein from animal sources. Foods with about 25% total protein will have about 80% - 85% total protein from animal sources.
I am assuming these examples have meat protein, fish protein and egg protein. Dried egg is very light and often shows up lower in the list but still provides very high levels of protein.
If you are looking for brands that are have low total carbohydrate and are good for most dogs, look at a traditional 30-20 plus or minus type food.
Dr. Tim's Pursuit & Momentum (Momentum has carb profile like Evo)
Annamaet Ultra
Precise Endurance
Eukanuba Premium Performance (excellent value & easy to get)
Native Level 3
Victor Hi-Pro Plus (excellent value)
The first too are more expensive on average, but if you can get Annamaet from a trainer, you will find excellent prices, like $1.30lb. Online, pricey but keep in mind Annamaet Ultra comes in 40lb bags, not 25,28,30lb bags.
Dr. Tim's on Petflow in 44lb bags is a real find @ $1.40lb no tax or shipping. Locally Pursuit is $1.75lb plus tax.
Eukanuba Premium is the easiest to get for most people and is a great choice.
So any on that list will have very low carbohydrate, if fact at or lower than Orijen. There are others that have more fat than 20% but I don't think they are good choices for most dogs. The only way to judge any of these levels is by calories. Higher fat foods with 30% protein will have about the same level of carbohydrate as most grain free foods. Just looking at the label doesn't tell you much because you don't know the weights of each ingredients and some ingredients are very light compared to what they provide, like egg.

I was taught in high school, by a vet nutritioniest, that Soy in a dog food makes it a cheap dog food. Given this was +10 years ago.
Yet people can't get enough seem to get enough of Soy.
I figure it is is not good enough for my dogs than is certainly is not good enough for me.
I would take Peas over Soy anyday myself.
Feed whatever works best for you and your pets.
I do what I like and like what I do. Yorkies- Cozy (4/1/06), Roxy & Zoey (2/11/08), Lucy (4/6/09); Golden- Buddy (4/13/09- Rescued 12/11) Maine Coon cats- Mika (1998) and Tallulah (2000)

Regarding your question on growing coat, it mainly plays in with genetics and diet, but genetics being the major source. I think Fromm is a great food, and a lot of people who show Goldens use it.
I find it funny that you want a lusher coat, most pet people don't want that much hair, but rather us show people who need it for the ring

I went from Fromm Puppy (loose stool) TOTW (Better, but still loose), to Orijen (Did great), but my Leonberger can not have the High protein of the Orijen. So put my GR on Castor and Pollux Organix grain free. He's doing great, loves it and they sell it on base in the commissary for a fraction of the Orijen cost. The only one not happy about it is my local pet store

Well thanks to Turtlehead for making this Chris Judge exhibit well within the Tcritic realm of topics I can write about without cries that my premiss runs thin. If you haven't heard of Chris Judge (and as most of my readership is in the US so you may not have) he is a popular illustrator/artist in Ireland. Chris was recently named one of the "12 Illustrators whose work you need to see" by Print Magazine which is a very decent European design magazine.
The online exhibit features 22 of Chris's original paintings (acrylic and marker pen on canvas) on display and available for sale, each coming with a limited edition t-shirt (although no word on how limited). The exhibit is going to be on from the Monday May 19th to May 26th (although no word on what happens when the time is up, and if any of the stuff will still be available for purchase).
I think the designs will all make very striking and unique t-shirts, and may become some peoples most valued article of clothing (because to get the t-shirt you have to spend $150 to $220 on the art), makes a great story though doesn't it.
here's what they say about the exhibit:
I actually think this provides a very useful model for blogs and artists to potentially collaborate beyond the crappy advertising model. Essentially the blog curates a collection for an artist and obviously gets a certain percentage of the sales as the "agent"/gallery. Obviously there is more potential for both the artist and the blogger to profit transparently on something with a higher margin than T-shirts (and could obviously work for lots of other items).
Chris also blogs here, I recommend checking it out.
(this is not in the exhibit but is another bit of his art that would make a killer T-Shirt)

Railroad Union Brings National Training to Vol State
Submitted on August 23, 2011 at 2:21 PM
The long-time union leaders of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division (BMWED) of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters realized that they needed to train the next generation of union leadership. They turned to the Volunteer State Community College Division of Continuing Education and Economic Development to combine a diverse set of subjects into an intensive two-week training session, bringing in union members from across the country.
"We've never done anything like this before in a comprehensive way with classes in bargaining economics, labor history, computer training and writing and communication skills," said BMWED President Freddie Simpson. "It's great to have a central location with all of the resources of the college."
The BMWED represents railroad workers who build and maintain the tracks, bridges and buildings for the nation's railroads. The union members in this training span the country from Rhode Island to California. The courses include many areas of industry training expertise and utilize college resources such as the Media Services Television Studio. BMWED leaders say they plan similar sessions for later in the year. For more information about Continuing Education Business and Industry Institute classes and training at Vol State visit www.volstate.edu/workforce or e-mail email@example.com or by phone at (615) 230 - 3359. For information on BMWED visit www.bmwed.org
Pictured: Union leaders take a break during the training session to talk to Vol State administrators. Left to right: Dr. Warren Nichols, Vol State President; Perry Geller, Sr., Secretary-Treasurer BMWED, Freddie Simpson, President BMWED; and Hilary Marabeti, Vol State Assistant Vice President of Continuing Education and Economic Development.

DOTHAN, Ala. (AP) -- A former high school science teacher in Rehobeth has pleaded guilty to illegally having sex with a student.
Robert Lee Michel pleaded guilty this week to three counts of having sex with the student and four counts of possession of child pornography. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 14.
The 44-year-old Michel was arrested on April 20. The Houston County School Board fired him in May.
Michel pleaded guilty without reaching an agreement with prosecutors. Assistant Houston County District Attorney Banks Smith said the office would push for extensive prison time.

10 gallon cycle? Cherry barb issues.
This is long, as I want to try to give any info that might help.
I have a Fluval Spec V with my Betta and an onion snail. It has been going for several months. The filter compartment has space for a bag of biosphere balls, carbon and the sponge. I took out the carbon when I started it and added a second biosphere bag. I also have one on top of the sponge that I added a couple months ago. So, it has 3 little bags of spheres in the filter compartment. The numbers in this tank stay really steady at Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 5-10. It is planted.
Then I started a 15 gallon in October for a community tank. I used the oldest bag of biospheres from the 5 gal. in the new filter, and replaced the bag in the 5 with a new one. I also used filter squeezings, and did a gravel vac and used the mulm to start up the 15. It cycled really fast. Numbers in it have been steady also, same numbers as the 5 gal. I would say it is medium to heavy planted. I just added a 2nd filter to it last week. I keep the filter on low, and it was not creating enough gentle flow, so I added a second one.
I stocked the 15 with 6 male cherry barbs to start. Then added 6 pygmy cory and an onion snail. Left that a few weeks, and 2 weeks ago, added 6 neons and some cherry shrimp. I'd been noticing some chasing among the cherry barbs - but didn't really think anything of it. Then I had 2 cory come up with wounds on their side. I moved them to a kritter keeper and medicated, but I think I caught them to late, and they didn't make it.
A week or so ago, it looked like the biggest barb was defending territory. A few days ago, when I did the water change and gravel vac, I rearranged things a bit to try to disrupt the behaviour. Yesterday, I noticed that same barb, and one of the other barbs have staked out about 1/4 of the tank each, and wouldn't let anyone in it. Lots of frantic chasing. I watched and watched to be sure. So, I thought I'd remove the cherry barbs, put them in the 3 gal (approx) kritter keeper that I keep as a hospital tank, and see if things settled down.
They did. Even the cherry shrimp were out last night. There is still one barb in the tank that I could not catch. He's the smallest, and most mellow of them, so might leave him in there for now. It is not as colorful as the others, so I've even thought it might be a female. Was always being chased by the others.
I have a used 10 gallon tank that a friend gave me. It has filter, light, heater etc. Just needs a good cleaning. I have enough gravel left from doing my 15 gallon, and they had some fake plants - so I plan on setting it up later today. Just got back from buying a stand to put it on. I had planned on setting it up as a QT tank, just keep plants in it when no fish. Figure I should put the barbs in it.
Since I have a biosphere bag in the 5 gal. I can use in the filter, - do you think I can go ahead and set it up, let it settle a day, then put the barbs in it? I just cleaned filters and did a gravel vac a few days ago, so I don't think I should do that again so soon. I don't plan on making this a fully planted tank yet - but will plant it as I have trimmings from my other tanks. I do have some crypts that I could pull out to put in though to start off with.
I think my options are
set up the 10 gallon, let it settle a day, then add the barbs, hoping there is enough bacteria in the spheres, and on plant, that it won't go through a traditional cycle and all will be well...
leave the 5 barbs in the little Kritter Keeper - which does have a betta bowl heater, but no filter - and do large water change every day while the 10 gallon cycles using a standard fishless cycle (using ammonia)....
put the barbs back in the 15 and hope no one gets injured or stressed out till the 10 cycles.
I'm thinking if I use the spheres and mulm and a few plants from the other tanks, and carefully watch ammonia, nitrite, nitrate - doing water changes as needed - that I can go ahead and set it up and put the barbs in it.
I'm sorry I listened to the fish store person who told me the barbs would be "just fine" in the smaller tank. I think they need a much bigger tank to be happy, but I do not have a place for anything larger than the 15. This was a very well known specialty fish store, and an experienced employee. She originally sold them to me as nano fish for the 5 gal. Grrrrr. I learned a lesson - no impulse buys without lots of research.
I had a tank as a child 40 years ago - but still new at the "modern" fishkeeping.

I have cherry and tiger barbs too. It sounds like they are just doing normal dominance fighting or maybe even coming to age and fighting for pecking order of a female you have in the bunch. It sounds like you've done everything right.
I strongly suggest against the 5 gallon, their fighting will get even worse. 10 gal is minimal for a school of barbs. And seeing as you're getting some injuries, I might even add 1-2 more around the same size of the larger bully. He'll fight with them, giving the smaller ones time to heal and it might even settle him down a bit.
if need be remove the bully for the time being. put him in a breeder box (plastic container that sits on the edge of the aquarium in the water, holes lets the tank water in so it wont stress him out too much) it'll keep him still in the community so he wont forget the other fish and they wont forget him. this might settle him down as well. the others will gain their pecking order and he'll have a less dominant overbearing when he's returned to the community when your 10g is ready
I'm no expert by any means. this was just the things that's worked for me. good luck!

I have them in the ten gallon. It is not cycled. I am doing at least 50% water changes every other day, and checking ammonia daily.
The guy get my plants from wants them. He has at least 30 tanks, so I am sure he can work them in. I will take them to him next week. He likes cherry barbs, and has not had any for a few years.
Thanks for answering! I was really stressed out about what to do with them!
Learned a big lesson. Do not listen to fish store employee...no matter how experienced they are! Do research first!

I worked in a pet store and a "speciality" store before. The employees are given very little training and are paid bonus for each sell. If they can convince you any way they will.
