Punctuation or Chaos
She said I saved the company
No one knows for sure what the above sentence means. It consists of six everyday words, and the first five are monosyllables, yet this simple declarative sentence has at least three quite different
meanings—maybe more, because with no period on the end, the reader can't even be sure the sentence is complete. As it stands, we don't know whether "she" or "I" saved the company. We don't even know who was talking. Look:
• She said I saved the company.
• She said, "I saved the company."
• "She," said I, "saved the company."
Without punctuation marks, a sentence is thrown into chaos. So please spend a few minutes assessing your punctuation proficiency by taking the quiz below. The answers directly follow the test.

The Elusive En Dash
When a compound adjective precedes a noun it is describing, we often need a hyphen:
prize-winning recipe, twentieth-century literature. If a compound adjective comprises more than two words, we use as many hyphens as are needed: a three-day-old newspaper,
a dyed-in-the-wool snob.
But try to punctuate the compound adjectives in these phrases: a New York based artist,
a Charles Dickens inspired author, a post World War II novel. Most writers would take pains to avoid "New-York-based artist," "Charles-Dickens-inspired author," and "post-World-War-II novel." Hyphenating open compounds like New York, Charles Dickens, and World War II feels wrong and looks weird.
Most of us would write New York-based artist, Charles Dickens-inspired author, and
post-World War II novel. We would respect the integrity of the compound proper noun, recognizing that a hyphen intrusion would not assist readers, and might confuse and distract them.
Some time ago, publishers decided that a hyphen was too puny to join open compounds to other words in a compound adjective. So they replaced the hyphen with the en dash, which is longer than a hyphen but shorter than a long dash. Here are en dashes in action:
New York–based artist, Charles Dickens–inspired author, post–World War II novel.
Most books and many magazines would pick the en dash over the hyphen in those three examples. The en dash is used for other purposes too. But you won't find this mark in most daily newspapers—there is no mention of the en dash anywhere in the Associated Press's influential stylebook for journalists. In fact, the most respected reference books and style guides of the twentieth century give short shrift to the en dash. H.W. Fowler's Modern English Usage does not acknowledge its existence. Neither does Theodore M. Bernstein's The Careful Writer. Wilson Follett's Modern American Usage gives the en dash two sentences, and discourages its use.
Before the age of computers, only professional printers could make en dashes; everyone else muddled through with hyphens. Many people have never heard of en dashes, despite having seen them a thousand times. The irony is that although the en dash mostly goes unnoticed, its function is cosmetic. It resolves no ambiguities. It clears up no confusion. It does nothing that a hyphen can't do and hasn't done, except to look a bit more symmetrical in certain constructions. It is an elegant flourish that most readers haven't been trained to recognize, let alone benefit from.

If the en dash seems right for you, here is how to type one. On a PC, hold down the ALT key and type 0150 on the numeric keypad located on the far right of the keyboard. On a Mac, hold down the Option key and type the minus sign located at the top of the keyboard.

(All About) Parentheses
The singular form is parenthesis, but the plural parentheses is the word you're more likely to see. Both words have a wide range of related meanings, and what some people identify as a parenthesis, others call parentheses.
So let's keep it simple. For our purposes, a parenthesis is one of a pair of curved marks that look like this: ( ), and parentheses are both marks.
A symbol, number, word, phrase, or clause that is in parentheses explains, supplements, or comments on something in the sentence. Material in parentheses can be removed from a sentence without changing that sentence's overall meaning or grammatical integrity.
Note the use of is in this sentence: My friend (and her brother) is coming today. The subject is My friend. Despite appearances, parentheses are never part of the subject. Remove them and we'd have two subjects, My friend and her brother, which would require the verb are coming. The use of parentheses is a clue that the writer was more concerned about the friend than about the brother.
Parentheses, long dashes, and commas are the three punctuation marks that indicate an interruption in the flow of a sentence. (Some might add semicolons, which can turn two simple sentences into a single, more complex sentence: Their eyes met; she smiled.)
Commas, the least intrusive of the three, signal the presence of relevant but nonessential data. Long dashes either expand upon the main point or take a slight detour from it. Parentheses by their very appearance let the reader know that the information fenced off by those vertical curves is a departure from the rest of the sentence. To illustrate:
• Blaine, who was born in 1797 and died in 1860, did not live to see the Civil War.
• Blaine—he was born in 1797 and died in 1860—did not live to see the Civil War.
• Blaine (1797-1860) did not live to see the Civil War.
Sometimes the choice is clear. For instance, you'd never see this sentence: Blaine—1797-1860—did not live to see the Civil War. But it is also true that a writer's use of one of these marks instead of another is often a matter of personal taste.
Parentheses can be used to form a separate sentence, as here: I hoped my friend was coming. (He canceled at the last minute.) But the writer could also have done this: I hoped my friend was coming (he canceled at the last minute). Note the placement of the period; if parentheses end a sentence, the period goes after the closing parenthesis.
Commas virtually always follow parentheses rather than precede them. This sentence is incorrect: When he got home, (it was already dark outside) he fixed dinner. Make it When he got home (it was already dark outside), he fixed dinner.
Writers have a lot of leeway with parentheses, as long as they heed a few simple guidelines. Used shrewdly (and sparingly!), parentheses add color, nuance, and spice to your writing.

Sic for Sick Sentences
We have noticed a dismal new trend: not capitalizing words that need it. Flouting the rules of capitalization is yet another indignity visited upon our beleaguered language by self-appointed visionaries who seem hellbent on transforming standard English, even though many of them can barely read, write, or speak it.
From a recent magazine article: " 'i am just now noticing how long his arms are. maybe happy people have long arms,' he emailed me."
The writer of this piece chose not to point out that his correspondent should have capitalized "i" and "maybe." It highlights an interesting problem: how to alert the reader when a direct quotation is in flawed English.
This is what the bracketed editor's mark [sic] was invented for. The [sic] mark is found only in direct quotations, always enclosed in brackets. In formal writing, an author or editor inserts [sic] directly after a word or sentence to notify readers that something is off or incorrect but is reproduced exactly as it originally appeared (sic means "thus" in Latin). In the passage at hand, the "i" would be easy to deal with: "i [sic] am just now noticing …"
The "maybe" is more problematic. The use of [sic] has its practical limits. You'd never see "m[sic]aybe happy people have long arms." And if the author wrote "maybe [sic] happy people have long arms," the [sic] would be so far from the offending m that a reader might miss the point and think the entire word maybe was somehow unacceptable. Nonetheless, this is the only realistic option where [sic] is concerned.
By not confirming who was responsible for the lowercase i and m, the writer ran the risk that his readers would blame him for the e-mailer's lapses. Evidently, this was a risk he was willing to take.

2. Chocolate is our children's favorite dessert.
3. She's not here—she left an hour ago. (Don't use a hyphen to do a long dash's work. Note: Some writers space long dashes on both sides, others (as here) use no spaces. Hyphens are never preceded or followed by a space.)

Dashes vs. Hyphens
Hyphen: Do not confuse a hyphen with a long dash. A hyphen's chief function is to merge two or more separate words. For example, in the phrase nice-looking house, the hyphen combines two words, nice and looking, into one compound adjective.
Hyphens are also used to indicate any span or range, such as numbers, years, pages, etc.
Hyphens are covered in rules 14-26.
Hyphens are covered on pages 125-130.
The years 1929-1941 were brutal.
Long Dashes: Long dashes are used to replace commas, semicolons, colons, ellipses, and parentheses to indicate added emphasis, an interruption, or an abrupt change of thought.
You are the friend—the only friend—who offered to help me.
Never have I met such a lovely person—before you.
I pay the bills—she has all the fun.
A semicolon could also be used here.
I need three items at the store—dog food, vegetarian chili, and cheddar cheese.
A colon could also be used here.
My agreement with Fiona is clear—she teaches me French and I teach her German.
Again, a colon would work here.
Please call my agent—Jessica Cohen—about hiring me.
Parentheses or commas would also work here.
I wish you would—oh, never mind.
Ellipses would also work here.
To form a long dash on most PCs, type the first word, then hold down the ALT key while typing 0151 on the numerical pad on the right side of your keyboard.
One method for creating a long dash on a Mac is to press and hold the Shift key, Option key, and minus (hyphen) key.
While there are many more possible uses of the long dash, be sure to curb your temptation to employ this convenient but overused punctuation mark.

Racers to Watch at 2013 USA Pro Challenge
Richie Porte (Team Sky)
4 / 8
While all eyes will be on 2013 Tour de France champ Chris Froome, his Australian teammate, Richie Porte might be a better bet to be the first foreigner to win the USAPC. Porte won the prestigious Paris-Nice stage race back in March, a race that has traditionally announced the arrival of the sport's next great Grand Tour riders. After riding for Froome in France this past July, Porte has already laid claim to the captaincy of Team Sky at next year's Tour of Italy. A win in Colorado would continue to cement his status as Sky's #2 stage racer.

Dyeing tips from the WOOD magazine shop:
- Liquid concentrates, like those from Transtint, eliminate straining, making them easier to mix. But they cost more. So start with a base of less-expensive powder dye and reserve the liquid concentrates for fine-tuning the color using easy and precise drops.
- A quart of dye (the amount commonly mixed from a packet of powder) goes a long way and keeps indefinitely when sealed in a canning jar. Simply shake the jar before use.
- Label the jar with the dye's brand, color, number, and ratio of dye to solvent used so you can re-create it precisely should you need to.
- If you're nervous about over-darkening your wood, simply dilute a small amount of your dye mixture with its solvent, writing down the ratios. It's always easier to add more dye to the wood than it is to evenly remove it.
- Many dyes tend to fade when exposed to ultraviolet light. If you plan to display your piece where it will encounter direct sunlight, choose a pigment or a combination pigment/dye stain instead.

Bianca (MS005)
this wiki
This article is about the movie character. For other uses, see Bianca.
| Bianca
(カノン Kanon)
|Alto Mare
|First Appearance:
|Pokémon Heroes
|Voice actor:
|Tara Jayne (English)
Bianca (Japanese: カノン Kanon) is a character in Pokémon Heroes. She is the granddaughter of the curator of the Alto Mare museum, Lorenzo, and has known Latias and Latios since they were young. Due to their close friendship, she is also the person that Latias chooses to transform into. The only way to distinguish the two is that Bianca always wears a hat, while Latias does not.
Bianca seems to be an artist, when Ash first saw her, not Latias, she was sketching in the museum. After helping save Alto Mare, she ran to Ash, who was leaving, and kissed him and gave him a picture. However, it is unknown if it was either Latias in disguise or the real Bianca who really to kissed Ash, although it is most likely Latias who did it, because the Bianca who kissed him wasn't wearing a hat. However, this is debatable as the Bianca who had been sketching had left her hat at the easel.
|Bianca's grandfather Lorenzo has taken charge of this Pokémon since the father of Latios and Latias passed away, so Bianca has practically brought up Latios. This Pokémon can be used together with his sister Latias, an ability called Shared Vision. Both can turn invisible.
|Latios ♂
|Bianca's grandfather Lorenzo has taken charge of this Pokémon since the father of Latios and Latias passed away, so Bianca has practically brought up Latias. Latias has the ability to Transform into humans or other Pokémon. Both can turn invisible.
|Latias ♀
- She is slightly taller than Ash.
- Ash is the only person knowing who was the girl kissed him because of difference in body temperatures between Pokémon and human.
- Ash was strongly believing that it was Bianca who came to see him off when he leaves Altomare. This was possibly because he had presumably finished his farewell with Latias beforehand.
- The title of the background music during the kiss scene is "Canon", same as Bianca's name in Japanese.
- She seemed to have more roles than in the actual movie along with Ash as seen in the earlier trailer.
- Her design strongly resembles that of Mami, the heroin from Esper Mami.

Hard feelings over new legislative districts surfaced today in the Senate, capping what otherwise had been an extraordinarily bipartisan opening day in the chamber.
The Democratic Senate president and the Republican minority leader talked about putting party differences aside to work together, particularly to create jobs and jumpstart the economy.
Both the House and the Senate normally convene at 10 a.m. on opening day, but the Senate moved back the time to 11 a.m. to accommodate those still struggling with icy roads. Speeches didn't begin until noon.

"We must remember that the conversations we have this year, the debates and disputes, the collaborations and cooperations, can't be about us," President Brandon Shaffer, D-Longmont, said. "They can't be about politics and upcoming elections. Rather, they must be about the people of Colorado. the people who elected us, the people we represent."
Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, known as the Jon Stewart of the legislature, got a big laugh when he stepped to the microphone after Shaffer's speech and said just one word:
Cadman then talked at length about his relationships with a number of Democratic lawmakers whom he first served with in the House.
"Relationships are the key here, relationships built on respect and civility and trust," he said.
"I'm not suggesting we're going to agree with each other all the time — or like each other all the time because we don't and we won't," he said.
But at the end of his speech, Cadman did address last year's reapportionment process that put him and Sen. Keith King into the same Colorado Springs legislative district. King is bowing out after this session so and Cadman won't be together in a primary.
Cadman praised King, who spoke to the Senate about what had happened.
"While I think the outcome of the process is unfair, I plan to continue my service to my district and the state with integrity and honor," King said.
He received a standing ovation from both sides of the aisle.

Is the Affordable Care Act Different from Romneycare? A Labor Economics Perspective
Measured in percentage points, the Affordable Care Act will, by 2015, add about fourteen times more to average marginal labor income tax rates nationwide than the Massachusetts health reform added to average rates in Massachusetts following its 2006 statewide health reform. The rate impacts are different between the two laws for several reasons, especially that: the populations subject to the two laws are different, the Affordable Care Act's employer penalty is an order of magnitude greater, before either reform Massachusetts had already been offering more means-tested and employment-tested health insurance assistance than other states had, and the subsidized health insurance plans created by the Massachusetts reform were less substitutable for employer-provided insurance than are the subsidized plans to be created nationwide next year.

Usually the underside of the foot will have the serial number. At minimum it would have the EMC# which would identify which iMac it is:

Depending on which model iMac you have, the serial # can be found either on the back of the iMac or on the bottom of the pedal stand.
Regarding the sound:
Repair permissions & restart.
Check your settings in the Audio Midi app which is located in the Utilities folder.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1574 Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
Trick/Tip: Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).
Quit out of the GarageBand app.
Repairing the mysteriously muted Mac
The background on the issue is that there's a small sensor switch inside the headphone port. When you insert a headphone jack, the sensor understands what's what and changes the sound output setting to Headphones. If you insert a jack for digital audio output, the device changes to Digital Out. When you remove the jack completely, it should read Internal Speakers.
The spirits tell me that there's a very good chance that you recently had something jacked into this port—a set of headphones or a cable leading to powered speakers, for example. When you removed the jack, something in the port prevented the sensor from tripping correctly. That's why you see Digital Out instead of internal Speakers.
The solution is to force the sensor to do its job. The safest way to do that is to simply run a jack in and out of the port a few times. Much of the time, this takes care of the problem by correctly tripping the sensor. If that doesn't work, there may be gunk in the port. Before turning to more invasive techniques, get a can of compressed air, attach the small tube that fits the nozzle, and blast a few shots of air into the port. With any luck, that should dislodge the gunk and the port will operate as it should.
If that doesn't work, find a foam-tipped swab that fits (electronics shops generally carry them), dip it in rubbing alcohol, and gently insert it into the headphone port in an attempt to wipe away any stubborn gunk. I recommend foam rather than cotton swabs because the cotton variety might leave threads behind. (This same technique works well with misbehaving headphone ports on devices such as iOS devices.)
It's possible that gunk has nothing to do with it. Rather, it may be that the switch just needs a subtle nudge. If a jack or swab doesn't work, I've heard of people successfully resetting it with a deft poke of a toothpick.

Immigration to this country has increased significantly in recent years. While Mexican immigrants are the largest population of immigrants in the United States (39 percent), the rest of the population is widely varied, with no one nation accounting for more than 3 percent of all immigrants. Despite the significant benefits quality Early Childhood Education (ECE) programs offer to immigrant children, their rates of enrollment are significantly lower than for comparable children of United States-born parents.
In order to better address the needs of these new American families, providers and state policymakers need more in-depth knowledge about the perceptions of these families and the factors that influence their choice of care. This study is an exploratory study in two cities which reflect the diversity of experience with immigration across the country: Denver, Colorado and surrounding areas, where the focus is on Mexican immigrants, and Portland, Maine and surrounding areas, where the focus is on three of the many refugee populations which have newly settled here. The contrasts, not only in the immigrant populations themselves, but also in the political and historical contexts of the communities in which they live, offer an opportunity to enrich the field of research on child care choices for this vulnerable population of children and families.
Additional details about this study can be found on the
The purpose of the Child Care provider survey was to learn from early care and education providers about the following issues:
A brief survey was designed to assess training needs on immigrant and refugee issues in child care and beliefs about English language acquisition.
A K-2 Teacher survey was designed for kindergarten, first grade, and second grade teachers to obtain their perceptions about the impact of attendance in early care and education programs on the school readiness of children from these populations.The survey asked teachers about the following:
This study attempts to understand refugee and immigrant families' beliefs about and experiences with child care, and how these factors impact their decision-making processes.
Child care provider surveys
The study was designed to be administered to early care and education providers. Because of concerns about length, the survey was divided into two sections, one longer survey (the Main Survey) and a brief survey asking questions specifically about training on immigrant and refugee issues in child care. The longer survey was sent by mail and email to a list of providers supplied by local child care resource and referral agencies. The brief survey was administered over a three-month period to all providers that attended regularly scheduled training sessions. The brief survey was only administered in Maine as permission could not be obtained to administer the survey at training sites in Colorado. Because the brief survey was handed out at training sessions, the responses are more representative of providers who are likely to seek out and attend training. Surveys were sent with a cover letter twice, with a month between the mailings. To increase the response rate in Colorado, the Colorado Division of Child Care agreed to have the cover letter printed on their letterhead and signed by the director of the division. As an incentive, a drawing for one of five $100 gift cards was offered.
K-2 teacher surveys
A survey was designed for kindergarten, first and second grade teachers. The survey was sent by mail to a list of teachers retrieved from elementary school websites. The survey was sent out twice with a month between mailings: one before the winter holidays and one after. As an incentive, a drawing for one of ten $50 gift cards, was offered.

Somewhere in Dresden - some years ago.
It's fantastic! I thought it was iridescent feathers (like on a peacock) or a macro of fish scales on the thumb view.
I had the same thought when I saw it but it was just a mosaic in the sunlight (+ a boost in saturation)
Thank you!
Thank you!

Oil In 2013: Boom Or Bust?
As yet another year of market volatility draws to close, investors are seeking guidance as to what to expect heading into 2013. The oil market has been the definition of unsettled during 2012, and uncertainty is set to continue over the coming 12 months.
As is the case with most commodities, oil forecasts are mixed leading into what is likely to be a pivotal period for the market as a whole. A potential economic slowdown, combined with the fact that US oil production is reaching its highest levels in well over a decade, means that investors could find themselves in a major headwind in relation to oil prices. Further, many believe that movement toward US energy independence, cleaner energy and slowing economic growth could suggest that longer-term oil prices are likely to trend downwards. Price crash "unlikely" A price crash in 2013 is unlikely as geopolitical concerns should help support the market, according to analysts polled by Reuters. The same analysts added that stagnant economic growth and increasing crude supplies are expected to gradually draw oil prices lower. The monthly survey forecasts that North Sea Brent crude oil will average $108 per barrel in 2013, down from an average of $111.71 so far this year. "While geopolitical concerns in the Middle East still remain at the forefront, concerns about the United States going over the 'fiscal cliff' and the euro area potentially slipping back into recession could have more dire consequences for crude oil demand for the first half of 2013," said Gain Capital Group (NYSE:GCAP) analyst Chris Tevere. Barclays: Geopolitical upheaval could shift prices Meanwhile, Barclays (LSE:BARC) oil analysts noted that any significant shift in prices will require either a substantial change in oil-balance fundamentals or significant geopolitical upheaval.

Selection Tip:
A ripe berry will have a shiny, deep red color from the tip of the berry to beneath the green cap. It will be sweeter and juicier than those with white or green beneath the cap. Check the carton from top to bottom for any damaged or moldy fruit. They'll cause the others to deteriorate quickly.

I love this. This is near the top of my list for tattoos, coming up next month, if you'll bless my choice... My goddaughter is turning 18 and we are getting octopus tattoos together - my first tattoo, her second. It's always been our animal.

News Release: Associated Press News
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Instead of a ribbon-cutting, there was a steak-cutting. And flutes of champagne.
This week's opening of Tampa's newest hotel, The Epicurean, wasn't a typical affair. That's because this isn't a typical hotel.
From the culinary classroom with theater seating on the ground floor to the goat cheese in each room's artisanal pantry, the hotel is focused on food.
The $35 million project is a collaboration between the owner of Bern's Steak House -- which is across the street from the hotel -- and Mainsail Lodging and Development Group.
The 137-room hotel is part of Marriott International's Autograph Collection. Room prices range from $200-$300 a night.
Parts of the hotel are still under construction. When it's finished, there will be a spa, patisserie, 80-seat restaurant, wine shop and rooftop bar.

Drew Storen for four runs in the ninth to win it 9-7.
Leading lads: It's always somebody different for St. Louis. On Friday night, it was Daniel Descalso, who also homered in the eighth, coming through with a two-out, two-run single off the glove of Ian Desmond to tie the game in the final frame. Rookie shortstop Pete Kozma followed with the biggest hit of his young career, driving in the winning tallies with a two-run single of his own.
Carlos Beltran was a big reason the Cardinals were able to battle all the way back. He reached base in all five of his plate appearances. Their bullpen, led by Joe Kelly and Trevor Rosenthal, did a nice job too by holding Washington off the board from the fourth inning until the seventh. Jason Motte was the winner after pitching the final two innings.
The Cardinals comeback overshadows a big night for Bryce Harper, who erupted from his 1 for 18 slump with a first inning RBI triple and a third inning solo home run off Adam Wainwright. Ryan Zimmerman and Michael Morse each hit two-run homers for Washington.
After missing out on the fun during the Cardinals championship run in 2011, this wasn't the defining outing Adam Wainwright was looking for. Wainwright had no answer for Washington's offensive attack, lasting 2 1/3 innings. He allowed six earned runs on three home runs, two doubles, one triple and one single. There were no cheapies in that bunch, but he'll have a chance to bounce back in the NLCS.
Key play: Without question, Daniel Descalso's game-tying single was the biggest moment in the game. Pete Kozma's game-winner is right behind it. But overall this was one championship team never losing confidence and simply refusing to give away at-bats or accept certain defeat. Just tip your cap to the Cardinals.
Interesting stat I: The Cardinals have now won six straight postseason games when facing elimination. According to Elias, they're the third team to accomplish that feat, and no team has won seven elimination games in a row.
Interesting stat II: Adam Wainwright is the first pitcher to allow three home runs in a winner-take-all game since Bob Gibson in back in the 1964 World Series. You probably won't be surprised to hear the Cardinals managed to win that game as well.
What they'll be talking about: There will be some second-guessing of both managers for sticking with their starters as long as they did. In Matheny's defense, Wainwright did rally to strike out the side in the first after falling down 3-0 in the first three batters. He looked good in the second inning, too, before things unraveled again in the third. I'm not sure I can think of a defense for Davey Johnson, though. He had a chance to pull Gonzalez with a 6-1 lead, and then watched two more important runs score on a wild pitch and bases loaded walk.
Also, the Cardinals are moving on to face the other National League team that refuses to die in postseason play, the San Francisco Giants. What, or who should I who, will give in that series?
What's next: Game 1 of the NLCS is scheduled for Sunday night at 8:07 ET in San Francisco. There's no official word on who will take the mound in the Game 1 for the Giants, but it appears Madison Bumgarner and Ryan Vogelsong are the leading candidates. The Cardinals have already announced they'll be going with Lance Lynn.

James Storm meeting with TNA
There are rumors floating around that James Storm was booked to make an appearance on the first episode of Impact Wrestling to air on POP TV. However, the former world heavyweight champion denied that through social media. Storm is apparently meeting with TNA officials to see if a new contract can be signed. James never received a favorable deal with WWE to perform on NXT.

Jim Ross denies TNA rumors
Rumors about Jim Ross signing with TNA have been floating around since the legendary commentator was released by WWE. For whatever reasons, they heated up again this week. Ross felt compelled to address the issue via social media. He stated that the rumors were not true. Ross also added that Impact Wrestling already has a great announcing team so he is really not needed.

TNA paying performers for India
When it was revealed earlier tihs week that TNA was canceling their upcoming tour of India, the immediate question was whether or not the performers were going to be paid. After all, they had cleared their schedules to be available for Impact Wrestling. Reports have now surfaced that Dixie Carter has opted to pay the performers, even though they will not be heading overseas.

TNA making announcement
Once again, TNA is teasing a big announcement. Dixie Carter revealed through social media that she has some big news to share on Monday. Nothing has been confirmed at this point, but many are speculating that she could reveal the upcoming tour of India, where episodes of Impact Wrestling may be taped. As usual, the internet wrestling community will be expecting something much bigger, so they end up disappointed.

New TNA commentator
To make Bound For Glory even more of a special event, TNA has decided to bring in a third commentator to join Elijah Burke and Josh Mathews. The two of them teased the mystery announcer through social media. No credible leaks on the identity have surfaced, but there is a ton of speculation as usual. The third man might only be used on pay per view and not on Impact Wrestling.
September 27, 2015
Devon bashes TNA
Apparently, there may be some backstage heat between Devon and TNA. While responding to a fan through social media, he asked the person to not use the word impact, which of course is a reference to Impact Wrestling, because it brings up a lot of bad dreams. The angst could be due to the fact that management opted to not bring him back when his contract expired.
September 9, 2015
James Storm leaves TNA
After more than a dozen years with the company, James Storm has announced through social media that he is leaving TNA. The former world heavyweight champion stated that he finished up his final obligations by filming a couple episodes of Impact Wrestling this week. Storm also stated that he is not done with professional wrestling and will pursue opportunities in other areas.

TNA and GFW merger
Rumors are running rampant right now through social media that there could be a possible TNA and GFW merger. A lot of them comes from cryptic comments that are being made by both Jeff Jarrett and Dixie Carter. There are also rumors saying that the episode of Impact Wrestling taking place tonight is supposed to be historic.

Matt Hardy taking time off
Later on this summer, TNA will have neither of the Hardys on Impact Wrestling. As many of you already now, Jeff Hardy is sidelined by an injury suffered during a dirt bike accident. His older brother Matt Hardy is going to be taking some time off as well. His reason, though, is because he wants to stay home and look after his pregnant wife. Reby Sky revealed the decision on social media and should be giving birth very soon.

Total Knockouts Impact
While the divas in WWE have taken to social media to beg the front office for more of a chance to shine, TNA has decided to put together an episode of Impact Wrestling this Friday that will feature nothing but their beautiful and talented Knockouts. Awesome Kong and Taryn Terrell will be featured in the main event championship match, while the rest of the show will put the spotlight on Angelina Love, Brooke Tessmacher, Gail Kim, Madison Rayne, and others.

MDRNA has taken full financial and transactional control of its UNA portfolio
MDRNA will now have full financial and transactional control of therapeutics developed with its unlocked nucleobase analog technology after revising a May 2008 agreement with RiboTask. MDRNA will no longer pay financial considerations for licensing, development or sales of a UNA-based siRNA for human therapeutic use but may use the technology in reagents and diagnostic platforms."In preclinical studies we have completed over the past 12 months, our proprietary UsiRNA constructs have been shown to increase stability, reduce off-target activity and cytokine induction, and improve gene silencing," says J. Michael French, president and CEO of MDRNA. "These characteristics are key to human therapeutic use of UsiRNA and when formulated with our DilA2 delivery technology, provide a powerful approach to down regulating protein expression via RNAi." The company says that changing the agreement will offer it greater flexibility in future collaborations with pharmaceutical companies to commercialize the technology. MDRNA first acquired the rights to the UNA patent portfolio from RiboTask in October 2008.

One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

What a sub!
This review is from: Definitive Technology ProSub 800 Subwoofer System - 300 W RMS (Black)
Pros: The setup is super easy and is truly plug n play. I had this connected and tuned in less than 10 minutes. The sound quality is AMAZING! Careful if you have hardwood floors as this thing booooms! I had use a non slip mat to keep it from bouncing around, The crossover is straightforward and the volume nob is conveniently located on the side.
Cons: The screws on the foot pegs seem to rattle from the sound pressure. Easy fix I removed them.

Pros: -Can achieve very low tones with ease
Cons: -There isn't an actual turn on switch. Once plugged in, it will automatically switch on with the surround sound receiver.
Other Thoughts: If you have a small square room as mine, this will rattle everything. Heavy bass is bouncing everywhere! I knew that in consideration and still purchased it

As Georgia's 2006 legislative session begins, education is on the minds of many.
Lowndes County Superintendent Steve Smith says, "Education is always a real hot topic in the General Assembly, and I think that we can expect to see a lot of legislation that will impact our schools."
Things like class size are a hot topic.
LHS Principal Wes Taylor says, "Class size is always a concern. You know, one of the greatest determinants of student performance is teacher-student ratio."
Dr. Smith says it's crucial legislators don't forget about the teachers that haven't had a pay raise in nearly three years.
Smith says, "I think another area that's going to be of noticeable importance here will be teacher pay raises."
Taylor says, "Our teachers would absolutely be in favor of a pay raise. I think that our teachers today are better trained than they've ever been. We've got more tools, as far as technology, than ever before."
Another bill that might be considered is one that would require parental permission for students to participate in school clubs. This is one bill that Dr. Smith sees as unnecessary.
Smith says, "I think good communication can certainly take the place of having any mandated state policy that would govern that."
These issues and many more will be discussed over the next 39 days in this year's legislative session. This legislation session will last for 40 days.

Prehistoric and Early Historic Agriculture at Maunga Orito, Easter Island (Rapa Nui), Chile
Stevenson, Christopher M., Jackson, Thomas L., Mieth, Andreas, Bork, Hans-Rudolf, Ladefoged, Thegn N., Antiquity
The prehistoric economy of Rapa Nui relied primarily on the production of the tuber crops of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), dryland taro (Colocasia esculenta), yam (Dioscorea spp.), and ti (Cordyline). All of these crops, with the possible exception of sweet potato, arrived with the first immigrant population to Rapa Nui around AD 800 and were the staple food for this society over the next 1000 years. It has been proposed that sweet potato was a secondary introduction to the island sometime around the thirteenth century (Wallin et al. 2005). In part this is based on 1 sigma calibrated date ranges of AD 988-1155 and AD 1409-1440 that bracket sweet potato fragments found in a cave deposit on Mangaia, central Polynesia (Hather & Kirch 1991; for a discussion see Green 2005, and Ladefoged et al. 2005). These starchy tubers were planted in small gardens, open fields and intensively cultivated plantations in both the coastal and elevated regions of Rapa Nui (Stevenson & Haoa 1998; Stevenson et al. 1999, 2002). In general, people were dispersed among the agricultural fields in single family or multiple family hamlets and produced food for household needs. In remote field systems located away from domestic sites, surplus foods were probably produced to support communal ceremonies and temple building projects. In this paper, we examine the character of agriculture on Rapa Nui, based on the age and internal structure of one garden through the analysis of a 100m long soil profile located at the base of Maunga Orito (Figure 1).
Agriculture on Rapa Nui is dependent upon suitable soil conditions (see Ladefoged et al. 2005) and annual rainfall to supply moisture. Archaeological surveys have identified water diversion alignments but there is no evidence of irrigation (McCoy 1976; Stevenson 1997). In lowland coastal areas the average annual rainfall is c. 1100mm (Mataveri Station, Figure 1). However, deviations from the mean value can be significant. Within the 25-year recording period, dispersions from the mean value can be as much as 200mm and result in periods of high humidity or reduced moisture. In the latter case, this would have resulted in significant declines in crop production in open and unprotected settings. Hunt and Lipo (2001) note that moisture fluctuations do not appear to be predictable and therefore introduce a degree of uncertainty into agricultural production.
These difficulties are exacerbated by two additional factors. The first is the presence of a nearly continuous onshore wind that removes ground moisture by evapotranspiration. In very dry years, a high rate of evapotranspiration can even result in a moisture deficit for the year (Louwagie 2003). The second factor is the high soil moisture permeability in some areas (Louwagie 2003; Louwagie & Langohr 2002). These problems may not have existed during the early part of prehistory when the island was forested with palm and understory species (Flenley 1998; Flenley et al. 1991; Orliac 2000; Orliac & Orliac 1998). Swidden fields within a forest environment would have been well protected (Mieth & Bork 2003). However, with the extensive removal of trees and surface ground cover, higher evapotranspiration, reduced soil moisture retention and soil erosion became more significant impediments to a successful harvest.
Strategies for agricultural production
The prehistoric people of Rapa Nui would have quickly recognised the impacts of deforestation and rainfall variability on the productive potential of the agricultural system. These limiting and unpredictable factors would have introduced an uncertainty about the outcome of farming from year to year. As a result, the Rapa Nui implemented a set of agricultural innovations to counteract these negative effects. These developments included the use of a surface lithic mulch to facilitate water permeability, significantly reduce evaporation, and protect the soils from erosion. …

My 6month old baby girl shows me love by taking her hands up to my face brings her mouth to my face and says "Ba Ba" then pushes back and looks at me and smile. I love it when she does that.posted 05/26/2011 by Babyclyde2010
When reading everyone it seems like Kids are a biggest gift from God. I started to smile 100times more since my baby is born. Now my 6 months old baby started dancing too on some rock numbers, he moves his one foot lol thats so funny and that shows his music sence. I have a horrible voice but i still sing for himposted 05/26/2011 by baba_love

my granddaughter's face lights up when ever her mother, her papa, or myself walks into the room. She smiles from ear to ear. We will tell her we love her and she cuddles right up to us. That's how we know that she loves us and believe me she is the light of our lives.posted 05/25/2011 by liz121
My 9 month old grabs my face with both hands and gives me the gummy kiss right on my mouth and at night she always has to have her hand on my face when she sleeps. even if she doesn't look at me, the midnight hugs arn't so bad either...I love my Gracie!posted 05/25/2011 by amylr620
My daughter stares deeply and intently into my eyes and then her little angelic face breaks out in the most beautiful smile that a mother could ever lay eyes upon. Sometimes she grabs my face, pulls it close and plants a big, wet, sloppy kiss on my mouth. I can't help but to squeeze her and plant kisses all over her face!posted 05/25/2011 by myralw514
