I really don't understand why they haven't done that with Earth Shield yet.
A bunch of healers, myself included, tried addressing ES to GC during the Beta. He deemed it "too powerful" to be allowed to have multiples of it on one target.
Apparently Beacon of Light, Lifebloom and Sacred Shield aren't too powerful compared to ES. Who knew? /sigh

Girl Scouts Barbie Unboxing and Review
My Little Pony Zecora Review
The day after Christmas I took my kids to Toys R Us to use some gift cards that they received for Christmas. While we were there I spotted a Zecora doll mixed in with the Bratz dolls & I fell in love with her. We headed over to the My Little Pony section and couldn't find any more of her or any others from the Pony Mania line. So of course I had to bring her home with me, despite having told Dennis, my hubby, that I wasn't going to buy anything. Whoops! Oh, well. Anyways, here is my review of her.
And here is some close ups.
I forgot to mention in the video that Zecora comes with a clip in hair extension that you can wear.
December Happie Scrappie Fauxdori Subscription
Update: I LOVE the fauxdori insert so much that I ordered several more of that exact insert for upcoming months. Also, the pen skips, not a lot but every now and again. I had to stop using it when I was journaling with it because it annoying me.
It's A Girl Collector Barbie Review
Dennis (my hubby) surprised me with some new dolls for Christmas. They arrived about a week after Christmas, so I was really not expecting anything else. I was so excited when I opened the box and saw brand new dolls for my collection. Among those dolls, was the It's A Girl Barbie. I did a review on the doll on my YouTube toy channel, Toys with the McCoys.
Here are some close up photos of the doll.

About seven years ago, the only thing I knew about Lutzka, I knew from my brother, Than, who lived in Wisconsin. "He's really good. He can shred the bowl and he kills the street course," he told me. Then, he told me he rode for Illenium, which was a skate company beloved in the Midwest. Illenium? I thought, that's rad. A few days later, I went to visit my brother in Milwaukee and saw Lutzka kickflip wallride from a quarterpipe to a bank-to-wall. This, to me, was amazing, since I was considerably ...

It was very well situated for access to the ski slopes. The room - a family room was lovely both in decor and size and both my girls actually got real beds - not sofa beds as is the norm! The food was very good but was detracted from by the poor quality of crockery - every meal we picked up something that hadn't been washed properly .
It was advertised as a Spa hotel and this is the main reason we chose it. The spa bit was very small and we were asked to wear a bathing costume at all times even in the sauna!!Despite a long list of regulations, for use of the Sauna including no - one under 17 (I paid full price for my eldest daughter but she was not allowed to use these facilities - this was th first thing they told us on arrival but I do not think it is on their web) , they did not remind guests to take a towel into the Sauna which meant that people sat there sweating all over the wood. This is so yukky that neither my husband or I could face using th...
Staff very friendly,close to the slopes and ski school meeting place.
choice of evening meal
Very clean and comfortable. Spacious family room overlooking the ski slopes. Good food and service.
Although advertised, there was little entertainment in the hotel in the evening. Lively bars not too far away though.
The apartment was quite small but well decorated and very warm. Ski storage was ok. Well signed for those arriving late. Overall=good.
Apartment's kitchen area is very small, no oven just two hot plates. No towels. General areas not clean. Hot tub looked like the whole French Rugby team had just finished their post match bath, so got out quick. Post-stay cleaning doesn't seem to be included in price. The Manager put notes on door and in rooms saying he expected apartment left "perfectly clean" or there would be a charge/fine of 75-150 euros (pity his own areas weren't as clean). This made us quite angry and we were determined to avoid this and cleaned the whole place before we left.
The room was perfect; impressive fold out bed in the very nicely shaped living room. The breakfast corner was great for eating and reading. Very good kitchen, beatiful view outside the windows. Also, the balcony was lovely. The Chalet d'Anaïte has a fabulous location. It's a 3 minute walk to the Montchavin-Les Coches ski-lift (and you can actually ski right back to the hotel if you know where to go off piste at the right moment.. otherwise, skiing back to 5 minute distance is easy and fun). Lastly, I thought the La Plagne (part of Paradiski) area was amazing with many kinds of routes (I loved the forrest route to Chambery, and all the routes coming down to the Verdons Sud lift) The area is very pricey though: a day pass is about €40.
Room for improvement: the (nice and helpful) staff should be able to speak better English (or at least slower French). Personally, I'd have liked the blankets to be heavier than the thin fleece ones they provide. You shou...
The location near the ski lifts and the supermarket, the quiteness of the small village
You have to prepare the beds yourself upon arrival, pay for the towels (8 euros/person) and pay for the cleaning at the end (35 euros)
I like the appartment and view.
There is not lift.
Despite the incredibly restricted hours at the front desk, the young women did an admirable job in addressing our numerous complaints.
Website was very misleading concerning the property. For example, there were no signs anywhere to distinguish the hotel, so we spent three hours trying to find it. The floor we stayed on was entirely under construction. And, the hours for the Front Desk, spa and sauna were laughable. Absolutely outrageous.
next to the skilifts
The rooms were very narrow. It was not very clean.

Wondering the types of products I'm interested in? Just ask me!
Lately I've been seeing the resurgence of a trend that emerged a few years ago but then fell by the wayside: Offering consumers a list of personas to choose from when shopping an e-commerce site.
It's an interesting marketing tactic that might help take some of the guesswork out of personalization. It also can give a shopper a sense of ownership of her e-commerce experience—enabling her to get involved and tell a retailer the types of items, cross-sells and up-sells she actually might be interested in purchasing.
Take Organize.com's site. In its She hub, shoppers can choose from a list of female personas: The Career Girl offers wall calendars and planners; The Mom, a babysitter checklist; and Girl's Night Out, wine glasses and fun party games.
Neiman Marcus uses personas with its StyleRadar feature. Updated weekly, StyleRadar offers a dozen or so types of people, personas in essence, that shoppers can subscribe to and then shop from, comment on and receive e-mail updates from. For example, shoppers can choose Indie Chic as well as a city, such as Chicago or Dallas, as a persona.
Personalization vendors and web site operators have used a behind-the-scenes version of this tactic for years, choosing personas on behalf of customers based on their web browsing or shopping behavior. Some build a profile for customers based on their actions as individuals on an e-commerce site. Others create profiles based on the activity of all shoppers, then base suggestions on the profile the shopper seems to fit into given her current behavior.
But why not ask shoppers to define themselves? Personas seem to be a straightforward way of presenting higher-converting, more relevant recommendations and to get shoppers involved.
I presume many of you reading this are thinking that it is one thing to gather data from individuals' personas but that acting on that data adds a whole other set of complexities. I realize it may take work to centralize the data and create a way to make it useful. But, if it is going to give you extremely accurate (what can be more accurate than a shopper telling you what she is interested in?) information about what a shopper wants to buy, isn't the result with the effort?
A travel site's auto personalization system may see a visitor is looking at sunny beach destinations and show them a slew of tropical islands, but if a consumer can choose a Honeymooners or Just Married persona, the site can offer resorts with Honeymoon suites, special extras and discounts for couples and even upsell with activites for newlyweds. Another site might recognize a consumer is looking at wine glasses and show her martini glasses and other types of stemware. But if that shopper chooses the Girl's Night Out persona, it would know to market fun table settings and party platters as well.
After all, there's a lot more to a Girl's Night Out than wine glasses—and all the required gear could amount to many sales for e-retailers.
A color that means one thing in one society can mean the opposite in another. ...

Time can change the future but not the past. In an instant a life can be lost, a game can be won, a story can begin, and a heart can be broken. Life is a series of events that will lead us to a future that we do not yet know. That's what makes it so wonderfully mysterious. The choices we make can send us careening off in all directions leaving all who witness pondering the outcome (or more realistically harshly judging while presumably knowing the outcome). Everyone thinks there is time, but time is just a road with lots of hills to climb and turns to take, but before you know it you come to a dead end.
Have you ever studied people? Or a particular person? Humans are very interesting creatures for many different reasons. Recently I met some pretty awesome individuals who seem to have life all figured out. They're focused, goal bound, driven, physically fit, and more importantly they are runners. Runners are their own kind of crazy but each and every one of them has a different story to tell. Let me share a few with you.
First there was Melissa. We were both walking a bit during the Wild Hog half marathon around mile 11. She has run 11 full marathons of her 50 states goal. She had run something like 3 half marathons in the last 3 weeks and is preparing for the Harder'n Hell 50K next weekend. She wasn't wearing headphones and appeared to be the type of runner who didn't mind chatting with a stranger. We learned that we both have children so early morning runs work best for our schedules. Both of our husbands are very supportive of our running goals which is super important. She apparently loves to travel since she wants to run all 50 states- bonus![ from previous post "Wanted"]
She was like my ultimate running buddy except I never actually got her name. Of course that would happen to me. Meet someone cool and then never get a name or forget the name. Either way I'm screwed. Thankfully we live in a very creepy social media world and I was able to track her down through race footage and Facebook. Okay people you really should be more careful when there are people like me lurking around. I wonder if she'll fits all my requirements.

Thankfully we live in a very creepy social media world and I was able to track her down through race footage and Facebook. Okay people you really should be more careful when there are people like me lurking around. I wonder if she'll fits all my requirements.
Wanted: Female runner between the age of 30-40 who runs an average pace of 9:00 and race pace of 7:30. Must run marathons and be interested in ultra marathons. Must watch The Walking Dead and have a love for Zombies. Prefer married with at least 3 children. Also prefer post baby flab, stretch marks, maybe a little frumpy, with a smart ass sense of humor. Must like working out and eating healthy but can't look better than me. Stomach issues are a plus as long as you don't stop more than I do. Please contact Lori at 555-GET-REAL.
Once I crossed the finish line I was able to meet up with my super cool friend Brock who was Bart Yasso's "tour guide". Not only did I get to meet Mr. Bart Yasso but he also took a picture with me and a selfie with Brock and I. What's so special about that you ask? Wellll...he put the photo on his Instagram AND Twitter account. Yeah Brock and I are a pretty big deal now. I was able to chat with Mr. Yasso a bit and ask him some questions. I tried to play it real cool as I mentioned I was originally from New Hampshire. Of course then he asked me what big marathon NH has. Uhhhhhhh. I have no idea. I think it's just called the New Hampshire marathon but I'm a clueless runner who doesn't get enough oxygen to her brain. No one ever excused me of being too smart.
Now we move on to Barry. Some of you may have read about my bestest friend Brock. We have been friends for a few years now and used to run quite a bit together (until he got faster and I got slower). Now we only occasionally run together or I bike along side him. Mostly because our schedules are so different but we still chat and hang out. Well anyhow, Brock met this strapping young lad Barry through RunJunkees on Facebook. Barry had posted his transformation story on the page about a year ago, so Brock shared his very similar story with Barry. The two instantly connected with their similar weight loss journeys and running goals. Over the last few weeks Barry's story was picked up by the local media, social media, and Runner's World magazine. My side of the story is a bit different from the medias because I've actually spent time with them.
I didn't know either of these guys at their heaviest weights but when I first met Brock he looked a bit different from the Brock we all see now. The first time I saw Brock he had long hair, was wearing a Jason Voorhees mask, and was carrying a machete.
|Yep, exact match.
Okay, so it was Halloween but still it kind of creeped me out.
At that time I didn't think Brock was overweight or ever had been. However, he was just 90 pounds down from the 141 total pounds he has lost to date. The majority of that was lost through his new found running addiction. Something changed Brock. Something much more than just a number on the scale. He found something he really enjoyed. Something he was really good at. Something he could actually keep improving on and possibly even win medals for. Like I said, I used to run with Brock but he just keeps improving and getting faster. What a jerkface!
|Brock's first marathon time 09/2013 Brock's PR marathon time from 10/2015
Having grown up in Wisconsin Barry attended a very strict church that didn't necessarily support children in organized sports. It wasn't until several years later that Barry picked up his running addiction. While struggling with his weight throughout high school he managed to lose 80 pounds through his own self discipline in 9th grade. However, the real issue for Barry wasn't losing the weight it was keeping the weight off. After high school he enlisted in the Army. For the next 2.5 years running was used more as a punishment rather than for enjoyment. Over the next 10 years while he was attending school and working as an orderly/dietitian Barry's weight fluctuated. By 2002 Barry was married and working as a registered nurse. That's when the weight started to become a bigger problem.
Having been a registered nurse for 18 years Barry was well aware of the extra weight he was carrying around. A bad marriage followed by a small bout of depression put Barry at his heaviest weight. Barry says, "When I was over 400 pounds in January 2008 I made a goal to be running Grandma's half marathon by June 2009. I did it in 1 hour 56 minutes." Down to 198 pounds running a sub 2 hour half marathon- wow! With his daughter as motivation Barry kept working hard to get more weight off and to get faster. He boasts about his daughter and her love for running.
"She has been to almost all my races since she was 5 years old. Lots of 5K's to start as I worked my way up to the marathon distance. She loved to watch me race. She started 3-4 years ago doing the 1 mile races when they were available. Now she doesn't want to watch she wants to run them. She can run 7 miles without stopping. She wants to run Grandma's 1/2 marathon next year. I'll be signing her up for it in the next few days. She's asking about joining the cross country team when she's old enough. I never pushed it. I think she was motivated by watching me run and saw my transformation happen. She loves to run now. She asks me for advice and talks running with me.We have always had a good father/daughter relationship but this does bring us closer for sure. Having this running bond. I get excited to think if she sticks with it where this will go. She's a very good kid. She's shy but a joy to be around. I'm very proud of her. Running helped save my life. Gave me my life back. It's my thing and I'm happy if she wants to join me. If she fades out on it that's okay too."
Now weighing 160 pounds Barry has managed to keep the weight off for 3 years. He has worked hard to get to where he is now. Boston Marathon runner in 2016!!!!!
|Barry's Grandma's Marathon 2010 Barry's IL marathon 2015 (BQ)
I think all the "fame" Barry has recently received has been a bit overwhelming, but he's looking forward to helping more people who have a similar story to his. That's the awesome part about being a runner. We all more than likely started out in rough shape (mentally or physically). Perhaps some smokers and some overweight. All from different walks of life, all fighting some type of battle, or hoping for a similar goal. You can be fast, slow, short, tall, overweight, physically fit, a mom/dad, daughter/son, doctor, laborer, etc. It doesn't matter. It all takes time, but once we toe that starting line we are all going to go the same distance. Each story will be different but each story will also be amazing!

"We are very pleased by our fourth quarter results, particularly in the face of the global economic slowdown.

Our diligent efforts in cost containment resulted in operating costs being $6.0 million less than in 2008," commented Zack Bergreen, chairman and CEO of Astea International. "We are optimistic that we have begun to see an increase in demand around the world, that was not present in most of 2009. Buyers continue to remain cautious, but as companies slowly begin to lift their freeze on capital spending we are seeing a renewed interest. More and more companies are now actively looking for solutions that will help them reduce costs, increase service revenues and optimize their field service organizations. Because of the recent shift in demand we feel we are well positioned heading into 2010. We are encouraged by our recent performance and excited about our prospects moving forward."

I would like to write a hook for Mercurial to do the following, an am struggling to get going.:
- Run on central repo, and execute when changeset(s) are pushed (I think I should use the "input" or "changegroup" hook)
- Search each commit message for a string with the format "issue:[0-9]*"
- IF string found, call a webservice, and provide the issue number, commit message, and a list of files that were changed
So, just for starters, how can I get the commit message for each commit from the "input" or "changegroup" hook? Any advice beyond this on how to achieve the other points would also be appeciated.
Thanks for any help.

I'm Klara Ravat, an experimental filmmaker an olfactory artist based in Berlin.
Scroll down to check out my upcoming dates.
Here you can read my bio:
Klara Ravat creates media and odour artworks, installations and experimental films. By opposing the division between the realm of memory and the realm of experience, Ravat absorbs the tradition of remembrance art into daily practice. This personal follow-up and revival of a past habit is important as an act of reflection. By investigating the concept of landscape in an adventurous and exploratory way, she wants to amplify the wonderment of the spectator by creating compositions or settings that generate tranquil poetic images that leave traces and balances on the edge of alienation and recognition. Her works appear as dreamlike images, often accompanied by scent, in which fiction and reality meet, meanings shift, past and present fuse. For the past years Ravat has been developing works related to the sense of smell as a research on how do we perceive through this sense. Klara Ravat currently lives and works in Berlin.

Ukraine Regions Vote In Favour Of PSA With Shell
KYIV, Ukraine, January 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Donetsk and Kharkiv regional administrations voted in favor of the production sharing agreement with the oil and gas company Royal Dutch Shell. The document features ecology, social and other requirements for the investor and regulates the relationship between the investor and the state. According to the agreement, Shell will hand over 31-60 percent of the extracted gas to the Ukrainian state.The Shell project at the Ukrainian shale gas field Yuzivske has the potential of evolving into the largest investment in Ukrainian history, reckons the Environment and Natural Resources Minister Oleh Proskuryakov. "Shell's basic scenario would be investing more than USD 10 billion, optimistic scenario - USD 50 billion," he said. During the initial phase of the project, investments into the Donetsk and Kharkiv region social infrastructure will amount to USD 140 million. The official also noted that in five to six years the volume of gas extracted at the site in question - Yuzivske shale gas field - could reach several billion cubic meters, while in a decade the annual amount of extracted gas could go up to at least 8-10 billion cubic meters. The estimated gas field reserves in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions equal 2 trillion cubic meters of the natural resource. The hydrocarbon extraction at the gas field will allow for lower gas prices, believes the minister. While Ukraine currently pays USD 440-460 dollars per cubic meter of Russian gas, the U.S. managed to reduce the gas price to USD 100 thanks to the new technology for gas extraction from unconventional sources. Shell won the right to explore shale gas in Yuzivske gas field in May 2012. At the same time, Chevron Corp obtained the right to develop gas deposits at the Oleske gas field in the Lviv region. The field reportedly may contain the total of to 1.5 trillion cubic meters of gas. Additionally, Shell is one of the four companies to get the right to develop oil and gas reserves at the Ukrainian deep marine shelf field Scythian under the Black Sea. In August 2012, American ExxonMobil, Dutch-British Royal Dutch Shell, Romanian OMV Petrom, and Ukrainian state company Nadra were nominated to unlock the underwater deposits. In October 2012, Shell drilled its first well in Ukraine - Beliayivske-400 in Kharkiv region. SOURCE Worldwide News Ukraine

Springtime in Japan: how blooming wonderful
Travelling to Japan? Try and time your visit with the cherry blossom season. Even if you're not big on nature, this is something you've got to see.
Be prepared to forget your camera is even in your hands as you stand entranced by the beauty of these blossoms. Watch cities disappear under canopies of colour and national parks transform into spaces so surreal, you'll think last night's sake got the better of you.
It's Singapore to a tea
A visit to Singapore would not be complete without experiencing High Tea or sampling a Singapore Sling at the Raffles Hotel.
Opened in 1887 in an old bungalow known as the Beach House, the Raffles Hotel was named after Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore.
Over the years it has evolved into one of the worlds most beloved luxury hotels and played host to a swag of celebrities, writers, and royalty. So, Intrepid's Chotie Moloney decided it was just the place for a travel treat…
A homestay haven in Borneo
Embarking on a big Borneo adventure, you are likely to have the icons front of mind: orang-utans, turtles, tropical jungle and the magnificent Mt Kinabalu perhaps. But once there and immersed…learning about the spiritual, economic and cultural ties from your local hosts, is when your experience is truly enriched.
Chris Hardy, Intrepid's Operation Manager in Malaysia, tells us about our special Sabah homestay:
Mot, hai, ba… beer in Vietnam
"Half past eight in the evening and it is closing time in the large Bia Hoi behind Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum, which locals know by its address, 19A Ngoc Ha, rather than its name.
The shouts of "mot, hai, ba – yoh!" (One, two, three – bottoms up!) are getting fewer and further between. An hour later the last red-faced patrons stagger out and the staff sit down for a quick meal before the final clean-up.
More praise for Monty
We are thrilled that Intrepid's Dheeraj 'Monty' Bhatt is once again a finalist in the prestigious Wanderlust World Guide Awards.
To be recognised as one of the best in his business amongst such a talented team of guides is an achievement in itself, but to receive such high praise several times during his 8 years with Intrepid is testament to Monty's dedication and passion for adventure travel.
All's not fair in love and war
"Lest we forget" is our heartfelt pledge to all the people who have paid the highest price in defense of their country's borders or beliefs.
Historic sites around the world are important reminders of what took place at less peaceful times. These war memorials help us understand what people were forced to endure and bring to life the tragic events of our past.
How could this miracle in Myanmar be possible?
For this year's World Health Day, celebrated on April 7, we'd like to share with you something extraordinary. The Intrepid Foundation's long-term partner, The Fred Hollows Foundation, recently supported the largest eye camp of its kind in Myanmar.
In this remarkable two minute video you can witness Dr Ruit, one of the world's best surgeons, performing 10 cataract operations in just 80 minutes. This has to be seen to be believed.

Holi or होली is the festival of color celebrated each spring in India. Go ahead and google images for Holi right now. I'll wait…
Ah-may-zing, right? It's an ancient Hindu religious festival that is now recognized in photos where people are playing with color – dry powdered color, colored water in water guns or balloons. Everyone is fair game, even the cows.
The child safe traveller
Intrepid travellers to Bangkok, in April and May 2013, were amongst those who took part in research for 'The Child Safe Traveller' (World Vision, 2013). This study looked deeper into tourist perceptions of child exploitation in connection with tourism in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam.
The research also assessed tourist reactions to child safe tourism communications. A total of 268 tourists from across the globe, representing different traveller types, ages, genders and socio-cultural backgrounds, completed surveys and interviews. Participating tourists had been in Thailand for varying lengths of time and many had travelled (or were travelling) elsewhere in South East Asia and beyond.

Volume 136, Issue 8, 28 February 2012
Orbital-free density functional theory (OFDFT), with its attractive linearly scaling computation cost and low prefactor, is one of the most powerful first principles methods for simulating large systems (∼104–106 atoms). However, approximating the electron kinetic energy with density functionals limits the accuracy and generality of OFDFT compared to Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KSDFT). In this work, we test whether the Huang-Carter (HC) kinetic energydensity functional (KEDF), which contains the physics to properly describe covalently bonded semiconductor materials, can also be used to describe covalent bonds in molecules. In particular, we calculate a variety of homonuclear diatomic molecules with the HC functional within OFDFT. The OFDFT bonddissociation energy, equilibrium bond length, and vibrational frequency of these dimers are in remarkably good agreement with benchmark KSDFT results, given the lack of orbitals in the calculation. We vary the two parameters λ (controlling the reduced density gradient contribution to the nonlocal kernel) and β (the exponent of the density in the nonlocal term) present in the HC KEDF and find that the optimal λ correlates with the magnitude of the highest occupied molecular orbital - lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gap. Although the HC KEDF represents a significant improvement over previous KEDFs in describing covalent systems, deficiencies still exist. Despite the similar overall shape of the KSDFT and OFDFT ground state electron densities, the electron density within the bonding region is still quite different. Furthermore, OFDFT is not yet able to give reasonable description of magnetic states. The energy orderings of the triplet and singlet states of Si2 and Al family dimers are not consistent with KSDFT or experimental results and the spin polarization distributions also differ widely between the two theories.
Communication: Fundamental measure theory for hard disks: Fluid and solid136(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3687921View Description Hide Description
Two-dimensional hard-particle systems are rather easy to simulate but surprisingly difficult to treat by theory. Despite their importance from both theoretical and experimental points of view, theoretical approaches are usually qualitative or at best semi-quantitative. Here, we present a density functional theory based on the ideas of fundamental measure theory for two-dimensional hard-disk mixtures, which allows for the first time an accurate description of the structure of the dense fluid and the equation of state for the solid phase within the framework of density functional theory. The properties of the solid phase are obtained by freely minimizing the functional.
Communication: Identical temperature dependence of the time scales of several linear-response functions of two glass-forming liquids136(2012); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3690083View Description Hide Description
The frequency-dependent dielectric constant, shear and adiabatic bulk moduli, longitudinal thermal expansion coefficient, and longitudinal specific heat have been measured for two van der Waals glass-forming liquids, tetramethyl-tetraphenyl-trisiloxane (DC704) and 5-polyphenyl-4-ether. Within the experimental uncertainties the loss-peak frequencies of the measured response functions have identical temperature dependence over a range of temperatures, for which the Maxwell relaxation time varies more than nine orders of magnitude. The time scales are ordered from fastest to slowest as follows: Shear modulus, adiabatic bulk modulus,dielectric constant, longitudinal thermal expansion coefficient, and longitudinal specific heat. The ordering is discussed in light of the recent conjecture that van der Waals liquids are strongly correlating, i.e., approximate single-parameter liquids.

Limited to just a single basket in the second quarter, the Monett Cubs fell behind by 21 points by intermission and were unable to overcome that huge deficit in losing to the Republic Tigers 58-25 in a home non-conference basketball game Friday night.
Monett dropped to 2-5 on the year.
"I don't think we could have shot the all any worse than we did," said Monett Coach Ty Goetz. "We did some good things defensively but couldn't buy a basket on offense. Our rebounding also needs to get better."
Spenser Witt's basket for the Cubs with 3:40 remaining in the first quarter tied the game at 2-2. Republic then forged a 13-6 first quarter advantage.
Then came the disastrous second quarter. The Tigers scored the first 9 points in the second stanza before the Cubs got their only points on a basket by Kyle Woods with 4:01 left until halftime. The half ended with Republic on top 29-8.
It was more of the same in the third period. Turnovers were costly as Republic, behind the hot shooting of Kevin Stander, forged a 48-19 lead by quarter's end. The Tigers outscored Monett 10-6 in the final period.
Kennon Cox and Tyler Green led the Cubs in scoring for the game with 8 points each. Also scoring for Monett were Kyle Woods with 4 points, Devin Steward with 3 points and Witt with 2 points.
Woods led the team in rebounds with three. Witt had two assists.
Monett also lost the preliminary tilt to the Tiger jayvees 44-34.
Scoring for the Monett junior varsity were Jacob Fair and Travis Thompson with 7 points each, Aaron Hall and Tyler Webb with 6 points each, Steward with 4 points, and Jarred Witt and Christian Wooldridge with 2 points each.
Monett will play Monday at 1:30 p.m. against Central Park in the Neosho Tournament.

F-35 Joint Strike Fighter:
Current Outlook Is Improved, but Long-Term Affordability Is a Major Concern
GAO-13-309: Published: Mar 11, 2013. Publicly Released: Mar 11, 2013.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
The F-35 program achieved 7 of 10 key management objectives for 2012 and made substantial progress on one other. Two objectives on aircraft deliveries and a corrective management plan were not met. Also in 2012, the program conducted more developmental flight tests than planned and made considerable progress in addressing critical technical risks, such as the helmet-mounted display. With about one-third of development flight testing completed, much testing remains to demonstrate and verify F-35 performance. Software management practices are improved, but with significant challenges ahead as software integration and testing continue to lag behind plans.
Manufacturing and supply processes are also improving--indicators such as factory throughput, labor efficiency, and quality measures are all positive. While initial F-35 production overran target costs and delivered aircraft late, the latest data shows labor hours decreasing and deliveries accelerating. The program is working through the continuing effects from its concurrent acquisition strategy that overlapped testing and manufacturing activities. For example, the program is continuing to incur substantial costs for rework to fix deficiencies discovered in testing, but the amount of rework needed on each aircraft is dropping.
Going forward, ensuring affordability--the ability to acquire aircraft in quantity and to sustain them over the life cycle--is of paramount concern. With more austere budgets looming, F-35 acquisition funding requirements average $12.6 billion annually through 2037. The new F-35 acquisition baseline incorporates the Department of Defense's (DOD) positive restructuring actions taken since 2010, including more time and funding for development and deferred procurement of more than 400 aircraft to future years. These actions place the F-35 program on firmer footing, although aircraft will cost more and deliveries to warfighters will take longer. The program continues to incur financial risk from its plan to procure 289 aircraft for $57.8 billion before completing development flight testing. Meanwhile, the services are spending about $8 billion to extend the life of existing aircraft and to buy new ones to mitigate shortfalls due to F-35 delays.
Why GAO Did This Study
The F-35 Lightning II, the Joint Strike Fighter, is DOD's most costly and ambitious aircraft acquisition. The program is developing and fielding three aircraft variants for the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and eight international partners. The F-35 is critical to long-term recapitalization plans as it is intended to replace hundreds of existing aircraft. This will require a long-term sustained funding commitment. Total U.S. investment is nearing $400 billion to develop and procure 2,457 aircraft through 2037. Fifty-two aircraft have been delivered through 2012. The F-35 program has been extensively restructured over the last 3 years to address prior cost, schedule, and performance problems. GAO's prior reviews of the F-35 made numerous recommendations to improve outcomes, such as increasing test resources and reducing annual procurement quantities.
This report, prepared in response to the National Defense Authorization Act for 2010, addresses (1) F-35 program performance during 2012, including testing, technical risks, and software; (2) manufacturing performance indicators, production results, and design changes; and (3) acquisition and sustainment costs going forward. GAO's work included analyses of a wide range of program documents and interviews with defense and contractor officials.
What GAO Recommends
GAO is not making recommendations in this report. DOD's restructuring of the F-35 program and other actions are responsive to many prior recommendations. DOD agreed with GAO's report findings and conclusions.
