"Hey! Hey!" Rex stole a moment from the fight with Breech to shake the violet haired girl in the blue long coat face down in the asphalt, the girl dropped into the fight quite suddenly through one of Breach's crimson portals, "You OK? Dues Mio! Wake up."
"So long Rex," Breach pitched her voice higher in a sing song tone, as she vanished through one of her own portals, but not before leaving a compliment of wild EVOs in her wake.
The girl groaned, her sparkling emerald eyes almost having a life their own, "What hit m..." she began to say before her eyes narrowed as she pushed Rex off her and saw the charging EVOs, "Watch out!"
"Hey!" Rex managed to protest, getting to his feet just fast enough to see the air ripple out like a pair of Circe's sonic waves and hit the handful of wild EVOs, a moment later they were still, standing motionless as if in a daze. Rex's jaw dropped as he let down his guard a moment, "Your a EVO too!"
"W-What?" The girl said drawing a sword from the sheath at her side. "N-Never mind, Paralyzing Glare only last so long."
"Que?" Rex said quizzically as he caught up beside her, shifting his own arm into the Big Fucking Sword, "You name your powers?"
The girl rose a quizzical eyebrow as Rex's BFS formed before answering, "Gargoyle's attack," She answered quickly as he blade cut deep Rex following behind her and the soon were back to back parrying the EVOs that were surrounding them, "And no, I didn't name them."
"Rex, who is the girl?" It was Agent Six, and Bobo arriving to add extra muscle to the fight.
"Didn't get her name but she's a EVO." Rex said quickly, shifting his arms into his bio-mechanical fists to knock back a pair of the beasts.
"Don't get to excited kid," Bobo dead paned as he fired of a few rounds from his twin blasters, "Your 2 for 0 with EVO women."
Rex glared at Bobo then looked back at the girl, "Zap um again...uh...miss."
"Caren," said said quickly, and did just as asked stunning the EVOs again.
"Rex," taking the moments pause the hook a thumb at his companions "That's Bobo and Agent Six," while running over to one of the EVOs, his hand placed on it's chest as circle lines spread out.
"What are you doing kid, you know you can't cure animals." Bobo quipped guns ready, eyebrow raised.
"Maybe this time..." the EVO began to shrink, soon a confused dog was among them, it yipped and ran off.
Before he could celebrate the other EVOs recovered, slashing Rex with the same attack. He grunted, shifting his legs and leaping away just as some Providence soldiers arrived to lay down cover fire.
"We better get you to Holiday," Six comments dryly, raising a single brow as he looked at the gash on Rex's back.
"Stand back," Caren said as she moved behind Rex, extending her hand as a white glow enveloped him, the torn flesh knitting closed.
Bobo raised his own brow, "She heals too, niiiiice."
Rex smiled rushing toward the EVOs again, "Thanks!"
Bobo joined him, Six about to when he noticed Caren hang back, just watching Rex.
"Just need a moment to see how his technique works."
Six raised his brow again, as Rex built out his junk blaster. And fired off a few shots. He almost tilted his glasses down as he saw Caren do the EXACT SAME THING. "How did you?"
She charged forward, standing by Rex's side, he gave a similar response, "Is that my gun?"
She nodded and only said, "Blue Magic."
Rex smirked a moment, "Sweet, can you do THIS?" Building out his jet pack he launched into the air, then gaining some altitude switched to his arms, delivering a Ariel pile driver to the EVOs. After a few more tussles the Providence soldiers had the rest netted and ready for containment. Rex extended his hand as Six and Bobo flanked his back.
"Nice to meet another EVO who fights the good fight."
She shook the hand but raised her own brow, "What's a EVO?"
"I think we better let Holiday have a look at her." Six said in his normal demeanor.
Rex nodded, "Come with us to the Keep, Caren."
She paused looking around as Six lead them back toward a drop-ship, "Sure..." a hint of hesitation in her voice.
Six kept a eye on her as the boarded the drop ship, raising a brow as she flinched as the door closed.
"So you can copy the powers of other EVOs?" Six asked curiously.
She nodded, "I guess that's a good explanation of Blue Magic."
"That is so cool!" Rex beamed. "Is it temporary or do you keep the skills?"
"I keep them," she said simply.
"What else can you do?" Rex wondered, finding Caren quite interesting. Bobo nodded off, Six listened quietly.
"Oh I know some white magic, and a few other skills, my real gift is being able to purify the corruption in the DEVOlved Ones...er EVOs I guess you call them."
Rex's jaw hit the floor, "You mean like me?"
Caren paused a moment, looked lost in thought a moment, then nodded, "Yeah I guess so. Kinda surprised the gods would give someone else the gift though." She paused again to point to the amulet around her neck, "I need this to prevent the burn back, how do you avoid the counter contamination?"
Rex looked distant a moment, looking at Six, "It's uh...complicated."
Caren fiddled with one of her rings and the item on her wrist as she hung her head, "I've been there..."
Six looked as the items in question curiously, "More control methods?"
She nodded, "Between Ranyc's ring, Erica's training, meditation, the Sanity Armlet, Sanity Ring, and Sanity Amulet I have enough means to control my own degeneration. But it wasn't always so."
Rex whistles, "Where can I get some gear like that. It's gotta beat being drained at Project Purgatory."
"You go to hell to drain you corruption?" Caren said with surprise, her hand moving to remove the Amulet.
Rex was quick to stop her, "No just the middle of the desert, besides you need that more then me."
Caren caught her words in her throat, "A-are you sure?"
"Do you need all that equipment?" Six wondered aloud as the ship shook a moment and landed, the door opening as he put his hand to his ear, "Holiday we may have another Rex, we're coming to the lab."
"Another Rex?" Holiday said confused.
Bobo yawned, and meandered out of the ship, "I'm going to go get a bit, find me when your done with the science stuff Rex."
He nodded, following Six as he lead Caren out of the ship, "I'll explain when we get there Holiday."
Caren let out a awed gasped as she was lead through Providence, "This place is even more advanced then Ranyc's home."
Rex smirked as he leaned back some wit ha cocky stride, "Yup Providence is the most advanced compound in the world."
Caren looked to Six a moment and sighed, "I suppose I could live without one or two items, it's their combined effects that give me the ultimate stability."
"Care to elaborate?" Six wondered.
She nodded, pausing now and again to look with awe, "The Sanity Armlet prevents degeneration caused by just normal combat."
Rex's looked like he was hit in the stomach a moment, "You risk going EVO just from fighting them?"
Caren sighed and nodded, "Y-yes. Which is where the ring come in. The Sanity Right ensures even if I do degenerate my mind remains intact. Ranyc's gift can counter a small amount of corruption when I use it."
"Sounds like a dangerous game," Six said calmly as they entered the lab.
Caren nodded, "And that brings me to the Sanity Amulet which gradually reduces corruption over time, doubles recovery rates via magic, and halves corruption gained when curing like Rex. It's my most powerful one of the artifacts but without the armlet I still gain normal corruption so it's main effect mostly keeps me even, the Armlet lets me bottom it out. But if it would really help Rex."
Rex paused but before he could speak Holiday walked over, "Whose the girl."
"She can apparently cure EVOs, but needs all those items," he points to her jewelery, "To keep from going rogue."
Holiday rose a eyebrow, "Mind if I run a few tests?"
Caren shook her head, "Go ahead."
Holiday led her over to a medical bed as Six and Rex followed. As a technician helped with the post op check up of Rex Holiday ran her tests on Caren.
"You better have a good reason for bringing a civilian EVO into Providence Six." White Knight addressed him and Holiday from his monitor.
"That's just it Knight," Holiday said astonished, "She isn't a EVO."
Knight narrowed his eyes, "Six said she can cure EVOs, what I going on here."
"She can," Six said, he paused a moment, nodded at Holiday and she slipped a disc into the chamber for Knight to see.
"The data is all there, while her method is more...intimate," a bit of color filling Holiday's cheeks as Knight inserted the disc, "It's all there, 5 test cases, even one incurable, and well she cured them."
"She has to," Knights voice cracking.
"Kiss the subject, yes." Six said casually, "But the effects are the same as Rex's. Active nanites deactivate."
"Here's the thing," Holiday began, "She doesn't have a single nanite in her body."
"She is pure, like you." Six said with a smirk.
"No nanites but she has EVO powers? How is this possible?" White Knight demanded.
"We aren't sure Knight, she had a very strange bio-field and as you can see her hair and ears are clearly some kind of EVO effect but her blood work is clean."
"We have her sealed for the moment to prevent infection," Six says calmly, "But we can't do that indefinitely."
Knight's voice almost cracked, almost, as his hand hovered on the control panel, "Keep me appraised."
The signal died, and White Knight looked out around his own sealed chamber. "Another person. Free of EVOs, but with their powers...I...Is such a thing even possible?"
His gaze drew to the disc, his eyes transfixed as he began to scan the findings, 'She says she has fought EVOs before. But needs those artifact to prevent degenerating. But only people with nanites can degenerate, or have powers. But this girl...'
Rex stormed down the hall, a serious look on his face, as he approached the security door he reached out his hand, nanites spread the lock disengaged.
"R-Rex what are you doing here?" A Providence Grunt said surprised.
"Your not going to stop me." A quick build out of his Smackhand brushed the grunt aside as he stormed forward.
The grunt tapped his ear a moment, "Rex is headed for the sterilized wing. Someone stop him."
Rex paused a moment, as klaxons blared, he snorted, "Doesn't matter, you have no right to lock her up. I'll free her!"
A few moments later Agent Six stood before Rex, his sword crossed, "What are you doing Rex?"
"Step aside Six, Caren isn't some lab rat you can just lock up. She has a life, probably family, you have no right to lock her up just because she has powers like me."
"You don't understand Rex, we..."
A Smackhand slap shut up Six as he was brush aside, Rex approached the next door and unlocked it, entering the wing where several Providence guards lifted their guns, Six was again in front of Rex.
"REX! She isn't locked up because she is like you, she is locked up BECAUSE of you."
"Not buying it Six. I'll go through you if I have to."
Six drew a disc from his pocket, "Just stand down for second and listen to me, if you breach her containment you could kill us all."
"Bull shit!" Rex snapped, "We were just fighting with her, how the hell could she be a danger now!"
"Stand down and I'll show you."
Rex paused, as Providence Grunts gathered around him, guns primed, he sighed, "You have 5 minutes Six."
He nodded leading Rex to a computer terminal, a dozen guns still trained on him. Six input the disc and brought up a scan of a blood map full of blue nanites on the screen. "Recognize it Rex?"
"Is that my blood?"
Six nodded, the screen changing to blood work with yellow nanites, "And this is every other living thing on earth except for 2 people."
He brought up a nanite free blood map, "Can you guess who this is?"
"Why am I looking at White Knight's blood?"
"That's Caren."
Rex's jaw dropped, "B-But she has long pointed ears and EVO powers..."
Six nodded the Providence grunts relaxed, lowering their guns, "Exactly. We don't know how or why but Caren doesn't have a single nanite in her BUT she has all the powers, appearance AND drawbacks of a EVO. We were lucky she hasn't been infected yet but Rex..." Six paused to let his words sink in, "You know first hand how dangerous EVO powers are, now imagine someone with all those powers but no nanites, now imagine what would happen if she got infected. Imagine all those powers magnified a hundred fold in a mad EVO or WORSE."
Rex's resolve was cracking, "D-Define worse."
"I can't." Six's words made Rex's blood run cold.
Rex turned, moving slowly toward the containment room where Caren was blissfully unaware of the dealings outside, "But we can't just..."
Six placed his hand on Rex's shoulder, "We wont, we explained everything to Caren, she understand the risk and this is a stop gap measure. But until we figure this out we can't risk infecting her, the consequences are unimaginable."
Rex reached out his hand to the airlock, tracing his fingers over it's face, "C-Can I talk to her?"
Six nodded, "This way."
"H-How are they treating you Caren?" Rex's voice was more subdued then normal as he spoke into the display that he had grown accustomed to being the way he spoke to White Knight, but here it was Caren on the other end.
She smiled genuinely, "You Providence is being quite hospitable, despite the obvious problem I am in."
"How is that even possible?" Rex tripped over his words, "You being nanite free I mean."
Caren paused a moment, though remained cheerful, "I don't know. Doctor Holiday has given me some text on world history to study but everything is sooo different, I mentioned this to her but she thinks it's some sort of 'psychotic break,' she insists I can't possibly come from the life she describes."
"But you disagree," Six said calmly, "You have another theory?"
Caren nodded, "At one point I and my friends found ourselves in a strange shadow world, there was even a 'evil' version of myself in there. I showed up after a fight with Breach, the differences are just too vast. How can I have EVO powers but not be one?"
"A parallel Earth?" Six wondered.
She nodded, "You have a better idea? What do you think Rex?"
Rex paused a moment in thought, "I believe her...remember Breach's 'dollhouse'? Whose to say she can't open portals to other realities?"
Taking a break from working on Light And Dark I checked out Cartoon Network's Generator Rex, and noticed similarities between Rex and Caren, obviously coincidental since Light and Dark was penned in early 2000, it even still has the original files on the website still ([link]). And being a fan of fan fiction the idea did occur to me to ask What if they met though I like to avoid Mary Sue Syndrome by putting my own OCs in other IPs and prefer to just make a AU of that fan world I still found myself drawn to a world where Caren and Rex meet.
Course that meant coming up with how their powers interrelate, Rex uses his nanites to control machines and reprogram rogue nanites to turn EVOs back o normal. Caren is a elf who uses divine magic to absorb the foreign energies, The Dark Seed that causes Lightsiders to degenerate into monster, she takes a burn back on the procedure much as Rex absorbs excess nanites but needs to dump them before they make him EVO out himself. Of course Caren is a Lightsider herself so absorbing Dark Seed energy is corrupting her as it saves others, much like Rex, but she only has the less inefficient meditation methods to balance herself and, unlike Rex, she also gains corruption just from fighting. But the Sanity items can help her much better then Rex's dumps. Each one powerful in their own right.
Sanity Armlet: Prevents increase in Insanity by normals.
Sanity Ring: If worn by a monster it restores their mind, thus even if one degenerates physically they are fine mentally.
Sanity Amulet: Has gradual Insanity reduction over time, double sanity recovery rates by magic, in the case of Caren halves insanity gained through the Love.
Rex has Breach who can open portals to anywhere, one portal can even drop Rex inside of Breach's own personal hammerspace. Putting Rex in Light and Dark would thus be easy with a Breach glitch HOWEVER there are no nanites in Light and Dark so his abilities are somewhat limited. Thus we must put Caren in the Rex Verse and the question then becomes How does Caren's powers work on nanites/EVOs?
The idea again came easily, her power is about absorbing foreign corruption, magical Dark Seed or nanites is semantics she is absorbing the corruption itself.

This was confusing for me. I recognized some of the names, but that was it.

Fiber type-specific expression of GLUT4 in human skeletal muscle: influence of exercise training.
- Copenhagen Muscle Research Centre, Department of Human Physiology, University of Copenhagen, August Krogh Institute, Denmark. email@example.com
The fiber type-specific expression of skeletal muscle GLUT4 and the effect of 2 weeks of low-intensity training were investigated in 8 young untrained male subjects. Single muscle fibers were dissected from a vastus lateralis biopsy sample. Based on myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression, fibers were pooled into 3 groups (MHC I, MHC IIA, and MHC IIX), and the GLUT4 content of 15-40 pooled fibers was determined using SDS-PAGE and immunological detection. The GLUT4 content in pooled muscle fibers expressing MHC I was approximately 20% higher (P < 0.05) than that in muscle fibers expressing MHC IIA or MHC IIX. No difference in GLUT4 could be detected between fibers expressing MHC IIA or MHC IIX. Two weeks of exercise training increased (P < 0.05) the peak power output of the knee extensors by 13%, the maximal activities of citrate synthase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase by 21 and 18%, respectively, and the GLUT4 protein content by 26% in a muscle homogenate. Furthermore, a 23% increase (P < 0.05) in GLUT4 was seen in fibers expressing the MHC I isoform after exercise training for 2 weeks. No change was seen in fibers expressing MHC IIA or MHC IIX. In conclusion, our data directly demonstrate that GLUT4 is expressed in a fiber type-specific manner in human skeletal muscle, although fiber type differences are relatively small. In addition, low-intensity exercise training recruiting primarily fibers expressing MHC I increased GLUT4 content in these fibers but not in fibers expressing MHC IIA or MHC IIX, indicating that GLUT4 protein content is related more to activity level of the fiber than to its fiber type, which is defined by expression of contractile protein.

DIY my fish tank
Always feel my own aquarium lamp is not very ideal, straight-tempered myself DIY with LED lamp, preliminary feeling okay, here to introduce my own experience:
1. Super province electricity, 100 LED lamp bead and 30 W fluorescent lamp brightness quite, this and frequently hundreds of watts of reeds lamp is quite cost-effective compared, can open 24 hours not love dearly.
2. Cold light source water, light bright, but summer although it is heating pipes, if not cold water machine, many more delicate collocation of reeds have to suck.
3. Easy configuration, general fish tanks or decorate a grass landscape is the front is behind the sand with high grass and sides or landscape stone highlight aquarium administrative levels sense, but general aquarium lamp light part is generally the most, the light behind the front aquatic obviously deficiencies and to use my own DIY lamp can even configuration, which is beneficial to the development of light aquatic plants.
4. Safety is strong, long life, after fire cow variable pressure only 12 V, after to fish and absolute safety. I used a 10 days, even the insulation tape didn't bag, although a lamp, but water vapor have little effect.
5. Simple, I don't have the electrician foundation their fix, covet save trouble with LED waterproof module, with stickers stuck to the bottom, very easy to use cylinder.
1. The brightness not satisfactory, to reach hundreds of watts of reeds light effect is very difficult to, for some more demanding of positive grass or can only do aquatic plants use auxiliary light.
2. The initial cost is higher, to reach 30 w fluorescent lamp effect will probably be of more than 100 lamp bead and power, for only a few of the aquatic light relatively expensive.
3. Professional and strong, general lamps and lanterns shop and pet stores can't buy LED lamp bead, I run to clean out treasure is in the mail order, but the price is very transparent, you generally won't suffer.
1. In order to improve the effect of illumination of LED lamp had better choose the white light lamp brightness bead, than the red or blue light bead high many, but some colored light collocation can also add the aquarium of the atmosphere.
2. In order to simple and safe, it is best to waterproof module, installation easy to use, security is also strong.
I think you just need a better color for your light. :)
choose right color is more important, i don't think your tank is beautiful, do u know? blue color can accelerate growing, the wave length at least need 460nm, white color need reach 18000k

Getting Counseling at TCM Counseling:
If you or someone you know is in need of professional counseling, help at TCM Counseling (TCM) is just a phone call away. TCM was founded 38 years ago by local churches, and currently has a panel of 31 professional therapists. It is important for the community to know that TCM meets people where they are at. A person does not need to be a Christian to get counseling at TCM. Also, a person does not need to have insurance to get counseling at TCM.
TCM never turns a person away if they live, work, or worship in the Tri-Cities (Grand Haven, Spring Lake, or Ferrysburg). Never.
Individual Counseling: TCM's panel of 31 therapists provide therapy to 100's of children, teens, adults, couples, and entire families every day. TCM therapists see people for depression, anxiety, marriage counseling, family counseling, ADD/ADHD, history of sexual abuse, stress, trauma, addictions, parenting, anger management, as well as other issues.
Group Counseling: Please go to TCM's group page for a list of specific groups that are offered on an ongoing and special basis.
Employee Assistance Program: TCM provides an Employee Assistance Program to local businesses, where employees who are in need of counseling, are able to access counseling immediately.

I always knew what my husband was getting me for one of my Christmas gifts, then he shockingly passed away . I haven't had any since. I want it back so bad. Such fond memories of this perfume. Puts me in a happy place. I can't find it.

Speaker's wife presents program on Capitol's renovation
By KERRY CURRY
Globe-News Staff Writer
With before-and-after slides, Nelda Laney took about 50 people in Amarillo on a tour of the Texas Capitol restoration and expansion.
Laney, wife of Texas Speaker of the House Pete Laney, D-Hale Center, presented a program about the $187 million capitol renovation Thursday at First Presbyterian Church.
"We are the only capitol in the United States that has ever paid for their capitol with land rather than money," Laney said, giving a brief history of the Texas land swap that financed the construction of the state capitol and the formation of the famous XIT Ranch.
Laney also showed slides from the 1983 fire that gutted the capitol's east wing, or senate side.
"That is what actually led to the renovation because when the fire people got in there to try to clean it up, they discovered several things. One was that it was really a building at risk," Laney said.
At the time of the fire, the capitol was housing 1,300 people but was designed to hold only 300, she said.
Ceilings that were meant to be 22 feet high had been cut in half to make another floor, and offices were crammed into every nook and cranny, she said.
Problems that needed to be addressed included fire hazards, structural integrity, space constraints, asbestos and plumbing problems.
The state expanded the capitol underground in order to preserve its appearance, Laney said.
The work involved digging a 450-square-foot hole that was 65 feet deep, she said. Large glass windows at ground level let natural light into the underground addition.
When renovations got under way, workers discovered some interesting things in the old capitol, including straw that had been used for insulation in the 1888 building, she said.
The renovations included placing scaffolding around the entire capitol in order to repair its 924 windows as well as replicating the goddess of liberty on the capitol dome.
"She was made out of zinc, and they replicated her out of aluminum because the zinc couldn't be repaired," Laney said.
The state tied the new underground addition to the 1888 capitol by using the same color schemes and designs, she said.
Laney brought commemorative ornaments to the program. They are being sold to raise money to continue to fund preservation efforts, including furniture for the governor's office and historical exhibits. One of the exhibits is of the XIT Ranch, which can be seen at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon.

Compliment Booth opens Second Saturday
Compliment Booth to open in Sacramento, Second Saturday, May 8th, 2010.
PRESS RELEASE. Please note: this is not a journalistic article, but rather a shameless promotion. However, reading on may serve you very well.
Revelers of the popular Second Saturday Art Walk will have the chance to stop by Sacramento's first ever Compliment Booth and receive a little boost of self-esteem this coming Saturday.
It's all part of an original idea by local resident and artist, Anthonie Maldonado – who along with the Compliment Booth's co-creators – will set up stake somewhere along J Street near the MARRS complex depending on available space. Visitors to the booth will have the opportunity to take in an innocuous and positive observation about themselves, at no cost, from one of the booth's volunteers.
"I like those glasses you are wearing," said booth staff-member and local D.J., Eric Rivera, offering a sample compliment. "They say that you are a unique person with a lot of creativity."
Co-creator and local stand-up comedian failure, Ali Tabatabai, says that in this tumultuous economic and political climate, everyone could use a bit of cheering up.
"It's like Facebook, but in real life and with strangers," said Tabatabai. "Stop by and we click 'like.'"
Tabatabai added that unlike fortune tellers, the Compliment Booth is not a "scam."
"No offense to psychics man, but we don't portend the future, we just compliment what's nice about you," said Tabatabai. "Shoot, even if you're a psychic, stop by and we'll give you a compliment you wouldn't predict."
The Compliment Booth will begin serving up compliments at 5:30 P.M. and will be open to the public.

May 5, 2016
Commissioners voted to name the new Gadsden County library in his honor.
Henry Gunn, the president of Gadsden County Men of Action, says, "He did a whole lot of things here in Gadsden County and he certainly deserves this honor."
Mary McGill, widow, says, "He was a father, he was a husband, he was a family person. He would help anyone in need regardless of who you are. It doesn't matter who you were, white, blue, black, red or yellow, he was there."
McGill was said to have strong ties across Florida.
As far as the library, he was said to have done all of the negotiations for the financing of the library project before losing his battle with cancer. For that reason, McGill supporters feel naming the county library after him is appropriate.
Marguerite DuPont, a McGill supporter, says, "We couldn't understand; why would you want to pigeonhole him there? If you want to have the one in Havana after Bill McGill, you can do that, but we really wanted this main library."
McGill supporters hope with his name across the county's library his legacy will live on. Commissioner Brenda Holt expects the new library to open its doors before the end of this year.

Soaring Seawater Farms for a Self-Sufficient Dubai
Posted By Alexandra Kain On March 9, 2009 @ 5:00 am In Architecture | 5 Comments
Dubai [2] is a burgeoning metropolis surrounded by seawater [3] that relies on imports for nearly all of its food. Addressing the region's lack of natural resources, Italian architects Studiomobile [4] have conceived of a Seawater Vertical Farm that draws upon local resources to create a sustainable source of food for a cleaner, greener and more self-sufficient Dubai. Envisioned as a spire that branches off into soaring sky-gardens [5], the design uses seawater to create an ecosystem conducive to growing crops amid the clouds.
Agriculture consumes nearly 70% of the world's fresh water, which leaves many areas of the earth subject to shortages of this essential resource. Saltwater [6], on the other hand, is available in abundance around the globe, which makes sustainable desalination [7] an enticing option for producing potable water for food production. Dubai's lack of fertile soil and fresh water make it a perfect candidate for seawater farms, which stand to cut down on the emirate's regular truckloads of goods while significantly reducing the region's oil dependency and greenhouse gas emissions.
Based upon the design of Seawater Greenhouses [8] in Oman [9] and the Gran Canarias [10], Studiomobile [4]'s 'Seawater Vertical Farm' utilizes seawater to cool and humidify the air that ventilates multiple greenhouses [11], while sunlight distills the saltwater into fresh water to provide life for thousands of plants. Whereas most of today's desalination plants rely on costly and energy-intensive boiling and pumping, the Seawater Vertical Farm works in a passive manner, continuously cycling through 3 phases for a year-round supply of food.
In the first phase, incoming seawater is evaporated to condition the air of the tower, creating a humid environment that is perfect for growing crops. Next, the air is pushed out of the greenhouse and through another evaporator that mixes the humid air with warm air from the outside. In the third phase, the hot humid air is pushed upwards due to the stack effect [12]. On the way up, fresh water condense around tubes of cool seawater and as drops accumulate they fall into a collection tank which then waters the crops. In a city known its arid landscape [13] and experimental architecture [14], the Seawater Vertical Farm offers an enticing source of sustainable agriculture, although its implementation may be quite a ways off granted the current economic climate.

Ah, the beauty of a backcountry stash. You teeter atop a fluffy-fantastic river of pure, pearly goodness. All yours. No one's been
there before you. No skiers. No snowboarders.
And no avalanche control teams.
"About 85% of avalanche fatalities happen in the backcountry.
Skiers and climbers make up the bulk of the numbers," according
to Paul Baugher, director of the Northwest Avalanche Institute and
MountainZone.com correspondent. That's a high price for fresh
powder. But more and more adventurers are buying into the idea
that out-of-bounds is outta sight. Which leads us to our question
Should resorts make out-of-bounds
skiing and boarding more accessible?

(Bath Tubs)
bath tubs are semi-freestanding. They don't require a raised platform or dais require custom installation. Theses tend to be the largest tubs marketed.
bath tubs are custom units that must be supported from underneath since they do not have an apron. These units are perfect if you have a unique bathroom because they can be built on a raised platform, dais, island, and can even be sunken into the floor.
Tile Flange
bath tubs are designed to prevent water damage to your tub. They are drop-in tubs that are supported from underneath but with a gap between the tub lip and the wall the tub sits up against. Calk is then used to seal this gap thus preventing the damaging effects of water on your drywall.
bath tubs are very common. Widespread for their ease of installation, they can be put into any home with proper plumbing.

We have all the resources you need for finding a mesothelioma attorney to help with your case as well as the information needed to help you understand mesothelioma and asbestos and how they affect your life and work.
Not every site can be trusted, and some will try to steer those suffering with mesothelioma away from seeking legal help. Workers have the right to seek legal recompense for their on-the-job injuries, even if the injury came years later.
Mesothelioma is a disease that does not appear until decades after asbestos exposure, sometimes up to 50 years later, but those with the disease have the same rights as someone whose injury was immediately felt on the job.
Many people who are looking for more information or legal council have either been affected themselves with a disease brought on by asbestos exposure or they have a family member who is suffering. The injustice of contracting a life-threatening disease through the course of ones job, combined with the toll of the illness itself, strains emotions and creates strain in people and families.
Mesothelioma is not just a disease that affects the health and well-being of the person diagnosed. Even for whose health has been directly impacted by mesothelioma, watching a loved one become progressively worse from the disease is both emotionally and physically draining for other family members who must become caretakers.
Understanding the disease and getting help in the legal battle can relieve some of this stress by giving sufferers a partner who knows the battle they are fighting. Getting compensation for medical expenses and pain and suffering will lighten some of the financial burdens of mesothelioma, but compensation cannot be awarded without the aid of legal council to bring the matter to court.
Mesothelioma is a deadly form of cancer that gets progressively worse over time, preventing those with it from working in the later stages. Compensation not only pays the mounting medical bills, but it also makes up for the lost income of the breadwinner affected by mesothelioma.
Getting legal advice from a mesothelioma attorney will help the sufferer to ensure that his family has a sound financial standing even after he has succumb to mesothelioma.
Many cases of mesothelioma can be traced to a liable party or parties. Only a specialist in the field of asbestos litigation can help you to determine if you have the grounds for getting compensation.
A consultation with one of the mesothelioma attorneys in your region will help you to determine the next step to take for your particular case. Since all cases are different, blanket advice cannot be given outside of consulting with an attorney.
Take some time while you are here to browse through our resources and arm yourself with the information you need to locate the right mesothelioma lawyer for your case.

Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)
|Also known as:
|Indian elephant
|Eléphant D'Asie, Eléphant D'Inde
|Elefante Asiático
|Elephas (1)
|Head-body length: 5.5 - 6.4 m (2)
Shoulder height: 2.5 - 3 m (2)
Male weight: 5.4 tonnes (2)
Female weight: 2.7 tonnes (2)
- Asian elephants are very important in the religious and cultural history of the region in which they live.
- Asian elephants eat up to 150kg of food and defecate up to 18 times a day.
- Only male Asian elephants have tusks and female 'tushes' are seldom visable, so poaching for ivory skews the sex ratio.
- Asian elephants live in groups of 6-7 related females.
- There are three subspecies of Asian elephant.
The Asian elephant is classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List (1), and listed on Appendix I of CITES (3).
Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are smaller than their African savannah relatives (Loxodonta africana) and have many other physical features that distinguish them. The ears are smaller and the back is more rounded so that the crown of the head is the highest point of the body (2). One of the characteristic features of an elephant are the modified incisor teeth which are known as tusks, however, only some male Asian elephants have tusks, whilst females (cows) have 'tushes' instead, that are seldom visible (4). Elephants support their stocky body on stout, pillar-like legs, and the nose and upper lip are joined and elongated into a trunk (4). The trunk provides a wide variety of functions from feeding, vocalisation, bathing and fighting; those of the Asian elephant have only a single finger-like process on the base, whilst the African elephant has two (5). The thick, wrinkly skin covering the body is a greyish-brown colour and very dry (6).
This species once roamed through much of the Asian Continent south of the Himalayas, extending into China and south to the islands of Sumatra and Borneo (4). The Asian elephant is now restricted to isolated fragments in parts of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Laos People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia and Indonesia, but is now thought to be extinct in Pakistan (1). Three subspecies are currently recognised; in Sri Lanka (Elephas maximus maximus), Sumatra (E. m. sumatranus) and on the mainland of Asia (E. m. indicus) (2). Some scientists also place the Bornean elephant as a separate subspecies (E. m. borneensis) (4).
Asian elephants inhabit a wide range of grasslands and forest types, including scrub forest, rainforest and semi-cultivated forests, preferring areas that combine grass with low woody plants and trees (6).
Elephants are highly intelligent and long-lived animals; Asian elephants may live as long as 70 years, in captivity at least (6). They are extremely sociable and occur in groups of related females, led by the oldest female known as the 'matriarch'. Groups of Asian elephants average six to seven individuals, and will occasionally join with other groups to form herds; although these are more transient than those of African savannah elephants (2). Males leave their natal group when then reach sexual maturity at around six to seven years of age, after which time they are predominantly solitary (2). When males reach 20 years old they start coming into 'musth', an extreme state of arousal when levels of testosterone in the blood may increase 20 times (2). This state lasts about three weeks and during this time the individual will become aggressive and wander widely in search of females (2). Musth may cause males to fight for access to females and also increases their attractiveness to females. Cows only reach sexual maturity at ten years of age (7), and the interval between births may be as long as four years owing to the long gestation time and infant dependency (5). The single calf may suckle from other females in the group as well as their own mother (5).
Elephants use their dextrous trunk to pluck at grasses and pass them into their mouths; the average daily intake of food is 150 kilograms of vegetation a day (6). Grasses make up the mainstay of the Asian elephant's diet but scrub and bark are also eaten, and calves may eat their mothers dung to obtain nutrients (2). Consuming such large quantities of vegetation each day mean that Asian elephants substantially alter their ecosystem by creating new habitats for emergent vegetation. They also defecate up to 18 times per day, which has an important role in dispersing the seeds of many plant species (8). Where elephants occur near plantations they will readily feed on banana or rice crops. Asian elephants have had a close relationship with man over the centuries; they are still used to clear timber particularly in some of the more inaccessible forests of the continent, and play an important role in the religious and cultural history of the region (2).
Numbers of Asian elephants were decimated by habitat loss and hunting throughout their historical range. Vast tracts of land have been logged or simply cleared to accommodate the growing human population in the region (2). Such disturbance from infrastructure development can also cause increased stress and confusion amongst elephants (8). Elephant populations have become increasingly isolated in the fragmented habitat that remains, often coming into conflict with local farmers (7). Crops are damaged and lives lost; up to 300 people a year are killed by elephants in India (4), leading to retaliation on local elephants (9). Poaching for ivory is also a threat and because only males have tusks, populations can become extremely skewed towards females, thus affecting breeding rates (2).
The Asian elephant is protected from international trade by its listing on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), although illegal poaching remains a problem (4). Many elephants occur within protected reserves but these are often too small to accommodate them, leading to human-elephant conflict (4). Many elephant populations are also found along international borders where management may be weak, and a lack of trans-boundary cooperation also hinders elephant protection and management (8). The creation of wildlife corridors to extend reserve lands, together with the cessation of poaching are just some of the conservation steps needed to secure the future of the Asian elephant (9). The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) launched the Asian Rhino and Elephant Action Strategy (AREAS) in 1998 to address these issues, and this multifaceted conservation programme is also working with local people to reduce conflict with these magnificent animals (8).

Hi folks, I'm running a 15" MBP Mid 2009.
- 2.8 Core 2 Duo
- Nvidia GeForce 9400M 256 Mb
Just this weekend I purchased Mountain Lion and decided to start completely fresh. Used the AppStore download to create a USB boot disk. Removed all existing partitions (Read: used disk utility to erase and format as MacOS Extended (journaled)). Installed the fresh copy of OSX to this new partition. Once in the OS I configured my settings, installed iLife and Office and updated all software. All is well with OSX, now it's time for Windows 7.
I run bootcamp assistant. I resize the partitions such that Windows gets 250GB and MacOS gets 500GB. It prepares a usb stick with support files on it then makes sure it's not bootable. I insert my Windows 7 Ultimate disk and get ready to reboot.
Once I reboot I can hear the disk churning and working but the screen is completely black. Tried closing and opening the lid and nothing. Eventually my only choice is to hold the power button for 5 seconds. I use the option key to boot back into OSX fine and everything is as expected there.
For reference the disk i am using is the same exact disk I had used previously to install Windows to this very machine. I have also tested it on other PC's to verify it is bootable so that may rule out a lot of the common suggestions. I also re-burned the same iso at a slower speed and I'm getting the same results with both disks.
What I've found on the web and/or tried:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173 - Seems to be related to the iMac of the same year. I'm hesitant to install iMac drivers on a MBP. However I have a feeling that the issue might be related.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2600 - Resetting PRAM and SMC did not resolve the issue. Still unable to boot to the Windows 7 Boot disk
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4536 - This described a different problem as I do not have the blinking cursor, however I did try removing the USB drive that OSX prepares but no luck there either.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/12275/black-screen-when-installing-boot -camp - References the first 2 KBs I found but the interesting suggestion here was to try a second monitor. The best I had available was a mini display port to VGA and using a VGA-to-DVI cable to talk to my monitor (which has no VGA port). No luck there. tried plugging/unplugging the adapter a few times.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1229631 - On this thread, Post #18 suggests that the new EFI does not allow booting off CD and apparently the USB stick needs to be bootable to make changes to the EFI to allow it to boot from CD. I'm not sure about the validity of this claim but I did download the BootCamp 4.0.4033 for the MBP mid 2009 to try to make a bootable USB - This is on my list of 'to try' items
I knew I was hitting a point where pretty soon I won't be able to self-prescribe the solution so I came to the community for answers.

Kevin Leighton Named Head Baseball Coach
Contact: Joseph DiBari
(718) 817-4242
Kevin Leighton guided Manhattan College to a pair of NCAA postseason appearances in six seasons at the helm.

Kevin Leighton, the very successful head baseball coach at Manhattan College for the past six years, has been named head baseball coach at Fordham it was announced by Executive Director of Athletics Frank McLaughlin.
"We are excited to find a coach with the experience and accomplishments of Kevin Leighton," said McLaughlin. "We have a proud and successful baseball tradition at Fordham and look to Kevin, with the support of our alumni, to build on that success and the winning traditions."
Fordham has the oldest and winningest baseball program in NCAA history. Through the 2011 season, the Rams have compiled 4,074 all-time victories, over 800 wins more than second place Texas (3,246).
Leighton, who won more than 30 games in each of his six seasons as head coach with the Jaspers, is coming off one of his most successful seasons, leading Manhattan to its second MAAC Championship and second appearance in the NCAA tournament. The Jaspers finished the season with a 34-19 record with six players earning All-MAAC honors, including the MAAC Pitcher of the Year.
Manhattan also had four players named to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Northeast Region Team. Leighton was also honored, being named the Anaconda Sports MAAC Coach of the Year after guiding the Jaspers to the regular season crown with a 20-2 conference record.
"I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to lead such a prestigious baseball program with a rich tradition at a great school like Fordham," said Leighton. "I am very appreciative to everyone at Fordham for giving me this opportunity and I'm looking forward to getting the program to the top of the Atlantic 10."
In Leighton's second year at the helm of the Jaspers, he led the team to it first MAAC championship and an appearance in an NCAA Regional as the Jaspers advanced to the regional final in 2006. Manhattan won 34 games that year, including three wins over nationally ranked opponents, most notably, #6 Nebraska in the NCAA Regional. Leighton was recognized that year as the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Northeast Region Coach of the Year.
Leighton, the third winningest baseball coach at Manhattan in the program's 142 years, has a 200-119-1 career record as head coach. He has mentored 51 All-MAAC recipients since joining the program in 2002, including 32 First Team selections. During his tenure, four Jaspers were named MAAC Pitcher of the Year, two earned MAAC Rookie of the Year honors, one was selected MAAC Player of the Year and one was recognized as MAAC Relief Pitcher of the Year. Additionally, two Jaspers received All-America honors and seven were named Louisville Slugger Freshman All-Americans.
Eleven players Leighton has coached have advanced to the professional ranks, and four currently play within a MLB organization.
Manhattan's baseball success wasn't limited to the playing field as 49 Jaspers earned MAAC All-Academic status since 2006. In 2008 Manhattan was honored with an NCAA Public Recognition Award for ranking in the top-10 percent of all Division I baseball programs in the multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) report.
In 2008 and 2009, the Jaspers won back-to-back MAAC Regular-Season Championships with Leighton being named 2009 MAAC Coach of the Year after Manhattan tied a program record notching 35 wins with one of the most powerful offenses in conference history. The 2009 Jaspers finished fifth in NCAA Division I and set the conference's single season record with a .349 team batting average. Manhattan also set MAAC records with 657 hits and 130 doubles in a season.
Leighton guided the 2008 Jaspers to the program's first MAAC Regular-Season title since joining the league in 1982. In 2007, the Jaspers set a school record with 35 wins, and advanced to the MAAC Championship game for the third time in the previous four seasons. The team also tallied a program-best 21 MAAC wins, including a 19-0 start to the conference season. Manhattan compiled a 16-game overall and 15-game road win streaks, both of which were tops in Division I at the time.
Prior to taking over as head coach, Leighton served as an assistant coach at Manhattan from 2002-04.
Leighton arrived in Riverdale after a standout four-year career at Seton Hall University. He helped the Pirates to back-to-back NCAA Regional appearances in 2000 and 2001. In 2001, he helped guide the Pirates to the Big East Championship, the program's first title since 1987.
Leighton earned his bachelor's degree in health and physical education from Seton Hall in 2001. He completed his master's degree in administration and leadership in education at Manhattan in 2005. The Brewster, N.Y., native was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1997.

Robert Spitzer in NY Times, NPR

May 21st, 2012
Last Saturday, the New York Times published an important cover story by Benedict Carey which, more or less, covers the same ground Gabriel Arana covered in April is his interview with Robert Spitzer, whose 2001 ex-gay study purported to show that some people can change their sexual orientation with a great deal of effort. During that interview, Spitzer acknowledged that critics of his study were " largely correct." Spitzer then decided to retract his study and issue an apology to the gay community and also "to any gay person who wasted time and energy undergoing some form of reparative therapy because they believed that I had proven that reparative therapy works with some 'highly motivated' individuals."
Carey's piece with the New York Times doesn't cover much new territory, although there was one revelation surprised me: "The paper did not go through the usual peer-review process, in which unnamed experts critique a manuscript before publication." I did not know that. Of course, what I did know what that when the paper appeared in 2003 in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, editor Kenneth Zucker took the highly unusual step of publishing 26 "peer commentaries," from all sides of the debate. Many professionals either denounced or criticized the study's methodology and conclusions, while others (mostly ex-gay therapists and supporters like A. Dean Byrd, Joseph Nicolosi, Mark Yarhouse) hailed it as " giv(ing) a voice to the disenfranchised within a minority group."
But what is important in the Times story is the fact that Aranal's article at The American Prospect has caught the attention of the wider mainstream media. Today, Spitzer appeared on NPR's Talk of the Nation, followed by Arana and Carey to discuss the study, its retractions, Spitzer's apology, and the legacy of ex-gay therapy.
