We have it all, with options that range from sweet (think Sweet Mango Habanero Sauce) to spicy (our classic Buffalo Wings Kicker Hot Sauce) to creamy and cool (reach for Ranch dressing). We serve deliciousness however you like it. That's because wing delivery is one of the things that we do best. We're also proud to offer entrées like chicken wings and oven-baked sandwiches, as well as sides like salads, drinks, and our stuffed cheesy breads. And don't forget about dessert!

text: BBC NEWSIndonesians jailed for beheadingsAn Indonesian court has sentenced three Muslim militants to jail for beheading three Christian schoolgirls in Central Sulawesi in 2005.Hasanuddin, 34, was given 20 years for planning the attack, while two accomplices were given 14 years.Hasanuddin had earlier told the court he helped plan the attack but rejected allegations he masterminded it.The beheading of the girls, attacked as they walked to school in Poso in 2005, drew international condemnation.It also fanned tensions in Sulawesi, where Muslim-Christian violence has continued despite a 2002 peace deal.Recent tensions VIOLENT PASTPreviously known as Celebes, Sulawesi is Indonesia's fourth largest island80% of residents are Muslim, while 17% are ChristianA December 1998 brawl in Poso led to months of religious violence in which hundreds diedHasanuddin's denial was rejected by chief judge Binsar Siregar, who said: "The accused was proven to plan and move other people to carry out terror acts."The court in Jakarta was also told that Hasanuddin had left a message next to the severed heads of the girls, saying: "A life for a life. A head for a head".A separate court sentenced defendants Irwanto Irano and Lilik Purwanto to 14 years each.Speaking before his sentencing, Hasanuddin said going to jail did not concern him."It's not a problem (if I am being sentenced to prison) because this is a part of our struggle. What will become a problem is if our brothers decide to get revenge," he said.The three girls were attacked as they walked to the private Christian school near their home in Poso. One of their heads was discovered outside a church.The trial had been told that the attack was timed to take place during a festival at the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.Hasanuddin said he wanted to avenge the deaths of Muslims killed during previous religious violence in the country, the world's most populous Muslim nation.More than 1,000 people are believed to have been killed during two years of violence triggered by a brawl between Christian and Muslim gangs in December 1998.Tensions have risen in recent months following the execution of three Christian militants in September 2006, for attacks against Muslims in 2000.Story from BBC NEWS:http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/asia-pacific/6473897.stmPublished: 2007/03/21 09:30:54 GMT� BBC MMVII

Eyupppp..... It looks like Mira took Reece's advice/comment seriously.... //shot This is what I would predict in 11 years for her. She would finally be out of her blonde-hair dye phase and back to her normal hair color, realizing that there is no reason for her to hate how her hair was meant to be. Being self-conscious about her haircolor was just a phase. XD
She would also still have her pet rock Karmen, as Karmen is a memento of her childhood/teen years.
Little chibi Mira is there to compare composition. 15-year-old Mira would be completely appalled if somebody showed her this future image.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

About MicroKing FinanceMicroKing's loans are guaranteed against institutional default (failure of MicroKing to repay Kiva lenders if the borrower repays MicroKing) by MicroKing's parent company: Kingdom Financial Holdings Limited.
More About MicroKing
This loan is administered by MicroKing Finance, Kiva's first partner in Zimbabwe.
MicroKing's mandate is to provide financial services integrated with advisory services and targeted training to the under-banked but rapidly growing Zimbabwean micro-enterprise sector. The intent is to mobilize the underprivileged as active agents in fighting poverty as well as to accelerate the country's journey back to economic prosperity where Zimbabwe was once known as the "bread basket of Africa."
Zimbabwean micro-enterprises are generally run by women and comprise a multitude of business types. Constraints on local production and manufacturing capacity have led to cross-border trading being the most common type of business.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Italy's Bloodiest Mafia: The Camorra
An investigation exposing how Italy's most ruthless organised crime syndicate has taken over one of the country's most beautiful cities, killing its citizens and poisoning its water, making massive amounts of money and effectively operating an alternative government.
Italians are no strangers to organised crime and violence. Each region of Italy has spawned its own version of the Mafia. In Sicily, it is the Cosa Nostra. In Calabria, it is the Ndrangheta. The Camorra is the Naples mafia. Over the past three decades it has been responsible for the death of 3,000 people. Anyone who opposes the Camorra's rule becomes a target. Few are brave enough to resist its demands. Despite suffering setbacks at the hands of a few committed investigators, it remains as strong as ever.
The Camorra is into drug trafficking, racketeering, business, politics and even the garbage disposal industry. Naples' recent waste crisis was in part blamed on the crime syndicate. Its grip on the city is far reaching.
Talking to Camorra insiders who have never spoken to the media before, and drawing on interviews with Camorra victims who are fighting back, reporter Mark Franchetti investigates Italy's most brutal crime gangs and tries to understand how they have survived so long in a country at the heart of Europe and asks what it will take to defeat them.
'Italy's Bloodiest Mafia: The Camorra' goes to air on Monday 8th August at 8.30pm on ABC1. It is replayed on Tuesday 9th August at 11.35pm. It can also be seen on ABC News 24 at 8.00pm on Saturdays and on ABC iview.

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post my questions.Ā Please just direct me elsewhere if that's the case.
I just did an ovulation predictor kit and I'm confused by the results. The instructions on the box say that if there are two lines (control and test), it's positive and I should ovulate in the next 24 to 36 hours. It says that the intensity of the lines may vary. When I've read about OPKs online and when my friends have talked to me about it, I've always heard that the test line has to be as dark or darker than the control line for it to be positive, i.e. a lighter test line is the same as a negative result. Am I misreading the instructions on the box? Or do different OPKs have different types of results?
Onto my next question. The results of my OPK this evening show two lines. The control line is strong and dark, and the test line is much lighter but definitely visible. If this is indeed a true positive result and I'll be ovulating in the next 24 to 36 hours, when is the best time to get it on?
I feel really bad about the fact that I'm a 30-year-old woman and I know so little about how my body works.Ā Am I the only one who is this clueless?

From Al- Habib Kazim Ja'far Muhammad al-Saqqaf
1) Make due preparation for the first night of the month of Ramadhan as this is the night that Allah t'ala gazes upon his slaves. Whoever Allah t'ala gazes upon, he'll never be punished.[1]
- Read Surah Fath on this night
- Make ghusl (male & female)
- Intend to fast for the entire month
Some people are cognisant of the Divine gaze and are affected by it whereas others remain unaware and unaffected…
2) Complete the obligation of fasting but also other works to draw nearer to Allah t'ala such as strengthening the ties of sisterhood.[2]
- The devil always attempts to cheat a human being and render him in a state of ingratitude
- A small amount of shukr will make one ascend in degrees
- We should make a firm intention to act in accordance with what we have learnt, even if it is a little.
- Consistent small works and a little thankfulness is better than a lot of inconsistent acts.
- The mercy that Allah t'ala shows you is in proportion to the mercy you show to others.
- Our Beloved said: when 2 Muslims meet 100 mercies descend – 90 are for the one with the best character and higher countenance (by the mercy of Allah t'ala 10 mercies go to the other).
3) Recite the noble Quran by day and by night;
- To recite it by day will ensure that the Quran will bear witness for you on the day of judgement
- To recite it by night (especially in the last third of the night) will ensure that the Quran is actually embodied and will physically act as an intercessor for you on the day of judgement.
4) Pray 20 rakat – Salaatul-Tarawih
5) Breaking the fast:
- With dates – 3, 5 or 7 – this prepares you to embrace the odd night of Laylatul Qadr as you have taken on "oddities" in your acts.
- Pray to Allah t'ala as every day a dua will be accepted from you:
– 1st night – a good ending
– 2nd night – emancipation from the hell-fire
– 3rd night – well-being here and in the hereafter
– 4th night – companionship of our Beloved
– Rest of the nights (26 in total) = choice of your own prayer
5) Make an intention for each fast on the night preceding the fast.
6) During the daylight hours control the tongue and don't speak out of anger, lying, backbiting – the fast can be rendered void if you do so.
7) In the last 10 nights of Ramadhan say abundantly the dua of our Beloved
أَللّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ العَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنّ يْ
Allahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibul afwa fa-fu anni
O Allah! You are the Most forgiving, You love forgiveness, so forgive me.
8) There are blessings in suhoor – even if you are not hungry, observe eating even if it's a small amount.
9) Don't argue/dispute with anybody – especially in the last 10 nights.
10) If Jummah falls on an odd night in the last 10 days – bring it to life as this is likely to be Laylatul Qadr.
11) If you go to the Masjid make intention for itikaaf for the duration of time that you spend in there – to increase your rewards.
12) If you go to the Masjid for itikaaf or salaatul-tarawih – when you enter the Masjid say that you are making an oath to Allah t'ala upon yourself – to pray 20 rakat or to sit itikaaf – as it then becomes wajib for you to complete the oath. Therefore the reward is x70 more for performing a wajib.
Habib Khazim said if we do all of the above we have good hope that we will bring to life all of the blessings of this sacred month inshallah…
[1] al-Shaikh 'Umar Husain al-Khatib
[2] al-Shaikh 'Umar Husain al-Khatib
Supplication for breaking the fast;
Jazakumallahu khairan dear 'Dew-drop' and a special sister for their contributions.
May Allah allow us all to take benefit from time spent in blessed company and enable us to bring life to the month ahead, may he allow us to remember those in need and may he grant us freedom from the fire and entry to jannah without hisab.
Ramadhan Mabruk to all

Good Morning Meerkat by luisperu9Watch
©2010-2016 luisperu9
My first screenshot with the new Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat!!! It's really fast!!! Hope u like it! Pz!
hey compañero muy buen trabajo te felicito!!
te agradeceria el wall si fuera posible , gracias de antemano
te agradeceria el wall si fuera posible , gracias de antemano
Hey, muchas gracias. Revisa tus notas. Saludos!
que pena que no tengas el link para el wallpaper... es hermoso!
Very good!!!...
Buena captura me agrada
Es perfecto, super limpio y suave para la vista, un trabajo esquisito. Enhorabuena.
wow,it worth collecting!
Please, what icons and theme did you use ?
well, to be honest, that is the default GTK theme of Maverick Meerkat. I haven't had time to find a nice one yet. Elementary was giving me some problems with the scrollbars. Anyway, icons for the whole system are a mod of Faenza [link] Icons for the dock are Flurry [link]
As for Led Zeppelin, they were good, but Guns N' Roses were the real deal

This looks like my iPhone wallpaper c: You did a better job, I like it
Nice! What dock are you using?
Thanks and the dock would be Avant Window Navigator with no background
i think docky is better
i think so too, i'm a big fan of Docky. The only thing that i don't like about it is the fact that you can't customize the icons. It really bothers me
how so? normally when you change the icon set docky also changes icons
Exactly! you have to change the whole system icon theme for Docky to change its icons. With AWN you can customize every single icon on the dock without changing the rest.
Thank you!^^
me gusta donde puedo descargar ese wallpaper ?

I agree, OP's negotiations with the manufacturer, and his alerting the rest of us to a potential problem, are separate issues.

Last edited by rhm; 11-26-07 at 08:23 AM. Reason: I originally wrote something else, but realized my observations had already been addressed
The OP has not answered any of our numerous questions regarding circumstances of the breakage. He has not contacted Yan for resolution (per Yan's post). He is not upset about the breakage, which most of us would be. I can't quite figure this one out.
Unless, the OP knows he did something something to contribute to the breakage??
The questions about the rider's weight is relevant, and it would be nice to have some sort of an answer. The question about seatpost extension (or hyperextension) is important both generally and to me specifically because I habitually ride my Mini with the seatpost extended about an inch over the "minimum insertion" line.
" I've heard of two other Downtube frames breaking. Just interested to know - is the Downtube frame made in China? If not, where is it made?"
Yes, it's China. I'm thinking all these Chinese bikes on the market don't all have their own factories. Dahon does I guess. Walmart probably has their own. Wonder if most of these smaller market brands, Swift and DT to name just two, are all built in the same factory?
Last edited by tgzzzz; 11-26-07 at 09:25 AM.
I think all of us are pretty interested in the failure and what the answer to it is. In my case, I have a bike with a different frame. It doesn't affect me personally. I am interested in Yan's response. As a person who runs a small business, I know that making my customers trust me is very, very important. Yan's actions have so far been text-book of 'What not to do'.
Here is 'What To Do:'
1. Talk to the OP and find out all the details. Weight, mileage, abuse level, etc.
2. Get the damaged frame back to you.
3. Trade out frame with new or good used frame. It would be fine to pro-rate the cost of a new frame. Have OP pay shipping, but DT should provide a mechanic to do the work. Regardless, DT should want to get that frame back in their shop.
4. Perform a complete failure analysis. Was the aluminum the correct alloy? Was the weld undercut? Cut the seat tube apart and evaluate where the witness marks of the seat post were to determine actual seat post engagement. FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG. This is not an exercise in finger pointing, it's an exercise in finding the root cause of the problem and then remedying that problem.
5. Work with factory to fix the problem. Like I wrote previously, I'd think some gusseting would go a long way towards fixing the problem.
6. Tell everyone on this forum that in an effort to make sure their customers are safe, DT is willing to pro-rate a new updated frame to anyone who wants it. The customers send in their old frames and a certain amount of money based on how long they've had their existing frame. Customers pay shipping. They are sent a new frame which they can rebuild into a 'new' bike.
7. Done properly, Yan could figure out what the original problem was, improve his product, make sure all of his existing customers were riding a frame they felt was safe, foster good feelings among existing customers by showing a willingness to step up to the plate, reduce liability for old frames which might have a weak point, and probably make a little money on the whole deal in the process.
The ball is in your court, Yan, what is the right thing to do?
However, I think Yan is not playing in this sandbox anymore. My belief is if the OP had handled this in a private manner, Yan would have been more motivated to work with him in problem resolution.
The truth is that the problem (at least several hundred of them) is still out there for the customers to deal with alone if Yan isn't up to the task. Why isn't he dealing with it? Because he got his feelings hurt over the injured party notifying a core group of enthusiasts of a potential problem with their bikes. Come on, grow up, man. That's no way to do business.
That post above is an attempt to cast a slur on competition. All the crap about Matell products, reflects entirely on Matell who didn't bother to test the quality of mass produced products. This was a failure on a massive scale.
I'm quite sure by the way that Downtube do test their designs and their manufactured products. Yan said so. I'm simply objecting to the slur I see far too often from people who really want to rubbish the cheaper competition from outsourced manufacturing nations. Sour Grapes, in my opinion. The Brompton aficionados do it all the time about a certain Taiwanese make. Outright lies about every aspect of the bike.
Just as others have said, the circumstances of this particular failure have not been explained. It is ludicrous to speculate about mass failures or trends on the basis of this incident. We've already heard people here say how they ride their bikes with excessive seat tube extension. We know some folks are far too heavy for the bikes they ride, and some abuse them horribly. Of course some bikes have faults, but it is impossible for us to know why this bike failed or whether it is part of a bigger pattern. Actually, scrub that last point.... How many have we heard of?
Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, if you live." - Mark Twain
There should not be different treatment if the OP comes privately or publicly. This has happened before, as seen after reading through these threads. There seem to be many claims to benefit the people with this product at this price point, but is it a fun-way street? All the positive publicity in the forums can help the brand, but negative should be dealt with accordingly? What have the people received from the positive support?
I can see why the company's representative is disappearing. Any implicit consent in these forums on their part, or not saying "You shouldn't ride with your seatpost above the extension mark" when numerous people say this amidst other threads, or people making these strange modifications (a recumbent?) to suit the needs of a bike that doesn't appear to have replacement parts (aren't many artificially making the seatpost longer than it comes with? Did someone put some wood in theirs?) and not getting feedback publicly is just opening a liability case. There's a reason why other companies are not in here representing their product as an owner or affiliate. OP could have died.
LOL - That's just as obfuscated as TimIsbell's post.
Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, if you live." - Mark Twain
What's the matter here? The broken bike hasn't been replaced yet?
When the seat tube on my Swift developed a 1-inch crack, I got an email from Xootr saying they would send-out a free replacement bike (not just the frame) less than 30 minutes after I had sent an email to customer service reporting the problem. The new bike was shipped to me free of charge and I was back on the road in about a week. Oh, and they offered to send me a loaner bike to use as the silver model was out of stock at the time.
Those crazy folks at Xootr apparently send out each and every bike frame with a lifetime warranty.
All bias aside, sorry to hear about your predicament. I'll be following this thread to see what comes of it.
interesting post, thanks.
Do you think Xootr would replace a frame if it failed out in the sticks somewhere?
Ie., suppose one was on tour on such a bike, in, eg., Tibet, but had internet access, could a "nearby" postal spot be agreed as a drop off for a replacement?
If so, buying a Xootr Swift would be good insurance!
I think there's only one UK dealer, but maybe buying direct might be better in the long term.
#1 We are great with any warranty claims. I have had two frames break during crashes, both breaks look similar to the one in this thread ( I am not trying to imply anything, just stating a fact). The bikes were not warrantied due to the crash ( no manufacturer warranties crashes ) however we gave sweetheart deals to both riders to get them back on the road with our frames. Does anyone know of another company that wholesales bikes for around $300 & covers customers on unwarrantied crashes???
#2 The poster of this thread never filed a claim with us, and from his post it sounds like he doesn't want a replacement. I will respond to any warranty claims properly.
#3 I am doing everything to the best of my ability in running Downtube. I am certain my actions will not satisfy everyone.
#4 In 2005/2006 I was welcomed here as manufacturer that fights the established order. I thank all the friends I made in that time....it was awesome. However this past year it seems I am being treated as part of the establishment....not the change. There is no denying a difference in tones has occurred by viewing posts over the past 3 years. It is not fun defending myself and my decision making. I am a very honorable proper person. Having my integrity challenged in a forum takes the fun out....when it is no fun I leave. Therefore, I have minimized my viewing/posting to once every 10-14 days.
#5 I find the legal arguments interesting, however I am certain I am allowed to hang out at different places online & offline. Past, present & future always change....nothing can stay the same forever.
#6 I am running the Downtube as an experiment. I am not a businessman nor will I ever be one. Did anyone notice we have more price elasticity than any of our competitors? Dahon bumped the Speed 7 to $429 in 2008, just a few years ago the same bike was $249. We can easily charge $100 more for our lineup and we would still be way below our competition, with no drop in sales.
In short we have done everything different from our competitors the beginning. I design/import/distribute/retail all bikes. I handle all emails & all phone calls. Why do I do this? I want to be as efficient as possible as we scale. I do not want any inefficiencies creeping into this business. When I am done my global scaling ( Japan, S. Korea, & S. America ) I will write a book on how to develop a business ( cookbook style ). Hopefully I can help society by distributing great bikes & hopefully I can help others do the same in other industries. My experiment should be over in 12-18 months. At the conclusion we should have a hyper efficient scalable business that can be replicated in other industries.
In this post I have defined were we came from, where we are, and were will will go. I can not see anything improper in our goals or actions, hence I can not understand a repeated negative tone towards us.

You sell the cheapest decent folder in the UK as far as I can see. It was always a good deal, but with the changing exchange rates it is now a real buy. If I hadn't already got too many bikes, I'd buy one of those 2007 minis for sure.
Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, if you live." - Mark Twain
I'm new to this forum, but I have two folding bikes.
This is the first I had heard of the Downtube bikes. They seem like everything I am looking for in a folder, but I am on the high side for the rated capacity of the mini (I'm 195# dressed in the summer...), so I couldn't tour with it.
I like the looks of the front suspended bike with the Sturmey Archer hub.
I noticed on some other posts that the owner of the bike that failed used a post rack and panniers. I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't the cause of the frame failure since he also rode on rougher trails with it.
I am a welder, and I despise aluminum! As wonderfully light as it is, it will not tolerate flexing/overloading.
If you overload it, it is finished. It is also easy for inexperienced or sloppy welders to mess up the welds, despite how easy it looks.
So far all of my bikes have been steel, and this is the first aluminum bike I have even considered owning, however I would have to go with the 20" wheel front suspended model to get a strong enough frame rating to allow panniers. Too bad, but I can live with 20" wheels. Obviously the design choice was to go for light weight on the mini, and you can't please everyone without charging much more.
I only wish there was a dealer in Western Canada so I could try one out..
Ive posted my experience with my Downtube so it doesnt need to be reposted.
Yan personally dealt with some concerns I had via email within 24 hours and
I B-E=A=T my IX-NS daily for 20 miles and I have not had one problem to
date after the initial sorting-out period. It seems that no actual DT owners are
bashing the bikes, not even the owner of the cracked-framer.
For 200-350 + or - what other mainstream company makes anything comparable ?
Why not ask downtube what they charge for a new frame, explaining your situation. Or check ebay craigslist.
2000 Montague CX, I do not recommend it, but still ride it.
Strida 3, I recommend it for rides < 10mi wo steep hills.
2006 Rowbike 720 Sport, I recommend it as an exercise bike.
1996 Birdy, Recommend.
Wieleder CARiBIKE (folding), decent frame.

Usually, I just cycle directly from home... or my boyfriend and I load up our bikes on his bike rack and head out somewhere, but I'd like to come up with a way to transport my bike and do group rides myself with a local club. These rides are far from my home and normally happen directly after work. No time to ride there.
I drive a '96 Toyota Corolla that does NOT have a fold-down back seat. If I want to fit my bike into the trunk, both wheels must be removed. What a pain! (I have small hands and have a heck of a time with disconnecting/reconnecting the brake cables.)
Once, I saw a guy whose bike didn't quite fit into the trunk of his car, but he crammed it in as best he could and secured it with some kind of heavy duty elastic netting. I wish I had asked him how it worked. I'd like to find an easy way to transport my bike intact without buying a rack or a new car, since mine is paid off.
Is this even possible?

Exxon Mobil Bets on Biofuels
(XOM - Get Report) has teamed with Synthetic Genomics in a $600 million partnership to research and develop next generation biofuels from photosynthetic algae. "This investment comes after several years of planning and study and is an important addition to Exxon Mobil's ongoing efforts to advance breakthrough technologies to help meet the world's energy challenges," said Emil Jacobs, vice president of research and development at ExxonMobil Research and Engineering, in a statement Tuesday.Synthetic Genomics is a privately held company founded by genomics pioneer J. Craig Venter. Under the program, if research and development milestones are successfully met, Exxon Mobil said it expects to spend more than $600 million, which includes $300 million in internal costs and potentially more than $300 million to Synthetic Genomics. One of Exxon Mobil's requirements was finding a biofuel source that could be produced on a large scale. It says photosynthetic algae appears to be a viable, long-term candidate. If the alliance is successful, pumping algae-based gasoline at Exxon Mobil service stations is still several years away and will mean additional, multibillion-dollar investments for mass production. "This is not going to be easy, and there are no guarantees of success," Jacobs said in an interview with Associated Press. "But we're combining Exxon Mobil's technical and financial strength with a leader in bioscientific genomics." For Exxon Mobil, the world's largest publicly traded oil company, the biofuels investment is tiny compared with its spending to find new supplies of crude and natural gas. CEO Rex Tillerson said earlier this year Exxon's 2009 spending on capital and exploration projects is expected to reach $29 billion, up from the $26.1 billion it spent in 2008. The company said those levels are likely to remain in the $25 billion to $30 billion range through 2013.Exxon Mobil

Rick Williams wants to make sure no one else goes through the kind of misery his wife, Beverlee, went through.
A diagnosis of breast cancer in February 2007 led doctors in North Carolina to perform a needle biopsy. It damaged her arm muscles and caused nerve damage to her neck.
The procedure was excruciating and has lingering effects.
Now, Rick Williams and a group of friends he met in September at an American Cancer Society summit near Lansing, Mich., are organizing an effort to require doctors to give people the option of being sleep-induced before being subjected to a needle biopsy.
"We're just starting the process," Rick Williams said. "We need to draw support first before we start talking about what to do next."
He said about 450 people attended the summit, which was organized specifically to give people touched by breast cancer a chance to share with others and bring attention to important issues.
"They couldn't believe my wife had to go through that," Williams said.

The Psychological Fitness-for-Duty Evaluation
Miller, Laurence, The FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin
Physical problems, such as an injured knee or high blood pressure, sometimes arise that may affect officers' abilities to perform their duties effectively. Or, their performance may remain unchanged. However, if supervisors or commanding officers perceive that an individual's limp or frequent headaches impair job performance, they may recommend that the employee seek medical attention. If the problem persists, they may refer the officer for a medical evaluation, during which the examining doctor will declare the individual medically able to return to work, recommend a course of treatment to restore a proper level of health, or classify the officer as permanently unfit for duty.
Similarly, if supervisors suspect that personality disorders or stress reactions cause or contribute to problem behavior or substandard performance and the usual channels of review, coaching, counseling, and discipline have failed to effect a substantial change, they may order a formal psychological fitness-for-duty evaluation (FFDE). (1) Through such an exam, agencies hope to determine an officer's psychological capability of remaining on the job and to identify, if necessary, measures to help improve the employee's effectiveness or reasonable accommodations to allow the officer to work in spite of residual disabilities. (2)
The FFDE functions, in part, to provide a basis for recommendations concerning education, retraining, counseling, or treatment. (3) Ideally, agencies will use the evaluation to help find ways to rehabilitate officers. Humaneness aside, salvaging an established employee is more cost-effective than hiring, training, and supervising a new one; for obvious reasons, departments should resort to discipline and dismissal as a last resort. However, although it never should be used as a substitute for adequate supervision and discipline, a carefully conducted and documented FFDE can provide a psychologically justifiable and legally defensible rationale for terminating an officer who cannot or will not meet the standards of the employing agency.
The Evaluation
Initial Considerations
The FFDE combines elements of risk management, mental health intervention, labor law, and departmental discipline. (4) According to current International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) guidelines, a licensed psychologist or board-certified psychiatrist with law enforcement experience must conduct the evaluation. (5) However, the guidelines do not specify how much experience is sufficient, and, as yet, no generally accepted formal credentialing exists for police psychologists as a distinct professional specialty. Thus, the level of law enforcement training or experience of these clinicians may vary considerably by agency.
When referring an employee for an FFDE, supervisors should provide specific referral questions. For example, they should not simply note that "Officer Jones seems depressed, and this condition interferes with his work." Rather, the referring supervisor could state, "Officer Jones arrived late to shift five times this past month; on several occasions, has been visibly fatigued and in physical distress; has appeared absentminded and distracted; and has been the subject of three citizen complaints of abuse of force during the past evaluation period. These actions represent a clear deterioration from previous evaluation periods and reflect a pattern of substandard performance. Upon interview, Officer Jones denies any problem."
Recommendations for Officers
Understandably, officers probably will not look forward to an FFDE. However, they can take measures to help the process go smoothly and for the results to provide an accurate picture of their true psychological status.
First, officers should remain positive. They should recognize that the examiner's only job is to objectively evaluate the officer's mental status in view of the specific referral questions and to determine the employee's fitness for duty. …

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I'm typing this review on Hewlett-Packard's (HP - Get Report) divorce papers from Microsoft (MSFT).For the first time, HP has launched a laptop based on Google's (GOOG - Get Report) PC operating system, Chrome OS. It's a wonderful 14-inch laptop priced at $300 with no expensive add-on gimmicks. You should buy one.
Whitman saw what I saw: The younger demographic has already left Windows PCs, and they are all using Apple MacBooks. No matter what she would do to perfect working capital management or cutting a middle manager layer, this cost-cutting would do nothing to the Windows PC revenue decline that is secular in nature. Then she went to her neighbors in Palo Alto. Tim Cook won't license his Mac OS to HP -- or anyone else. Larry Page and Sergey Brin, however, were more than thrilled to help Whitman see a new light in HP's PC tunnel. So they licensed her their beloved Chrome OS. But what future is there in Chrome OS? Isn't Microsoft Windows dominant? Chrome OS is now in 3,000 U.S. schools, and the entire public school system of Malaysia. As Lenin said, if you catch them while they're young they'll be loyal party members.

Hello everybody, I guess I am considered as a "noob" here, so I will start with an introduction here. I have been playing Pokemon since the original games (Yes, I am that old) and I am finally getting into Black 2. Got it about a month ago, but already loving it and playing online and losing horribly every game. I honestly don't know much about this site, and just figured out how to post messages
but hope to be staying here.

The new Apple TV has been on sale for just over three months now, and the growing catalog of tvOS apps and games looks incredibly promising. It's what Apple TV fans have been calling out for for years, and it doesn't disappoint.
But does tvOS and a strong backing from iOS developers make Apple TV a good game console? Is it an ideal buy for casual gamers, and can it mount a real threat against the latest and greatest consoles from Sony and Microsoft? Do we even need another console?
Join us in this week's Friday Night Fight between Cult of Android and Cult of Mac as we battle it out over those questions and more for your entertainment!

My most vivid memories of Miller were that 2001-2002 season, his final of three in Cleveland. He averaged a double double by scoring 16.5 points and handing out nearly 11 assists per night1. On a team that included a much younger Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Wesley Person, Lamond Murray, and Ricky Davis, Miller had emerged as the team's greatest threat. Miller's game then very much resembles his game now nearing age 38 on his sixth stop following the Cavs. Miller's a crafty and steady hand. Never an outside threat, Miller uses his handle and basketball IQ to get to the basket, get to the foul line, and dish to his teammates while the running the show. Andre was so great at sharing that he set the Cavalier franchise season record with 882 assists in his final season in periwinkle blue2. Andre was such a minutes lion that season, playing over 37 minutes per night while posting career highs in assists and rebounds in addition to it being his second-highest scoring season in a 14-year career.
The Cavalier point guard missed just one game in three seasons in Cleveland. I think one of the most impressive statistics to his name is the 73 double-doubles that he had in those 245 games. His Cavalier-high in points was 37 against the playoff-bound Spurs in an overtime win at home, while he handed out 22 assists in a tough loss to the Iverson-led Sixers. He also added three of his four Cav triple-doubles in that third season. Miller's career numbers in Cleveland hold up to the test of time with 14.5 points, 8.2 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 45% shooting, and 81% from the line. He also had a 20.2 PER and 53.4% true shooting percentage in a Cav uniform. Look no further than Miller's free throw clip to vouch for his work ethic. After being a sub-70% foul shooter in three of his four seasons as a Ute (including his senior season), he turned it into one of his game's greatest strengths. He had a certain way of stuffing the stat sheet with the little things, playing bigger than his size and wiser than his age.
As a pre-teen junior high kid just rounding into the near-religious, never-miss-a-game manner that I watch the Cavaliers now, I was in for a harsh lesson on NBA economics. Because as bright as Miller looked in his third season, the elephant in the room was his upcoming free agency. It was believed that Miller was going to want near-max money following the '02-'03 season. With his talent and the economics of the NBA at the time, it didn't make sense for the Cavs to pay that price on him. So, they dealt him with one year remaining on his deal in the 2002 offseason, sending him to the Clippers with Bryant Stith for Darius Miles and Harold Jamison. He would go on to play his lone year in Los Angeles and see his numbers dip. When free agency came, he linked up with the Denver Nuggets on a 6-year, $51 million deal with a $10 million dollar signing bonus and escalators that pushed the contract's numbers even further. He would join rookie Carmelo Anthony on the Nuggets, and they would make first-round exits in their three years together. In fact, Miller has been on a lot of good teams but never a great one. He has made the playoffs nine times (and is looking at a 10th trip with Washington), but he's never made it past 7 games in any one trip.
The trade, coupled with the trade of the other scoring threat on the team in Lamond Murray to Toronto, set the Cavaliers up to bottom out in the NBA draft. Rookie Carlos Boozer and then-27 Big Z headed up an incredibly young and talented frontcourt, but the backcourt that was a mash-up between Bimbo Coles, Milt Palacio, Smush Parker, Ricky Davis, and Darius Miles ensured that the Cavaliers were headed for a 17-65 campaign, tied for the worst record with Denver of all teams.
When Kevin Hetrick had pitched the idea of #CavsRank to the community of Cavalier bloggers, as his only criteria, he wanted us to focus solely on a player's time in Cleveland. This presented plenty of tough decisions. Guys like Miller, Terrell Brandon, Ron Harper, Nate Thurmond, Mo Williams, and Shawn Kemp were here for such a short time but either had incredible individual accomplishments or were a key cog on some of the best Cavalier teams. Match them up with Cavalier steady near-lifers like Z, Anderson Varejao, Campy Russell, and Hot Rod Williams, and it makes it really hard to rank these guys. Personally, I had Miller 14th, ahead of Hot Rod, World B. Free, Mo, Kemp, Craig Ehlo, and Mike Mitchell in that order. I also slotted him directly behind Terrell Brandon.
There were two videos that I could find of Miller's time in Cleveland. The first is in the Rookie-Sophomore Challenge where Miller got booed for laying in what many wanted to be a dunk. The second is a too-little-too-late posterization of Theo Ratliff. Both serve as evidence that Miller's long and winding career did actually begin in Cleveland.
So, for being seventh in franchise history with 2,015 in just three seasons, missing only one game, earning All-Rookie honors in 1999, and for being a really fun, fundamental, and heady player to watch in his time in Cleveland, Andre Miller stays out of the realm of the elite Cavaliers but rightfully earns recognition on this roster of Cavalier legends. For those 30-win teams of the Wittman and Lucas eras in Cleveland, Miller was the symbol of promise and hope, until suddenly he wasn't.

Brice Ezell: For a band with such a reputable discography, Radiohead—rather perplexingly—continues to rely on gimmick-heavy album releases. The music cannot simply speak for itself. Sure, there can be an element of artistic ingenuity behind these rollouts, but they have increasingly begun to feel like hype mills, devices through which to generate the impression that an album is better or more important than it actually is. (This, of course, is not unique to Radiohead; no amount of cockamamie high-art justifications for Kanye's constant alterations of The Life of Pablo can obscure its scattershot quality.) But because Radiohead is Radiohead—and music critics are music critics—the slightest hint of album release provocation will send online outlets and social media channels into a frenetic buzz of self-fulfilling hype. Never mind when Radiohead's ostensibly innovative LP drops are hardly innovative (2007's solid In Rainbows, whose pay-what-you-will model had been utilized previously before by a range of artists, including Bomb the Music Industry!) or when the hype deflates upon the arrival of a boring album (see the 2011 flop The King of Limbs): when Radiohead makes a sound, everyone listens with perked ears.
Emmanuel Elone: "California Love" is what you get when you mix one of the greatest West Coast rappers with West Coast's greatest producer, and then bring in funk legend Roger Troutman for safe measure. On this single for his double album All Eyez on Me, 2Pac's verse is an ode to the state that raised him, the same one that gave rise to NWA and the G-Funk hip-hop that Dr. Dre both created and mastered. Twenty years later, Kendrick Lamar, who actually was at the shooting for the "California Love" music video as an infant, continues to carry the West Coast torch that refuses to die out. On "m.A.A.d. City", Kendrick raps about his life in Compton (particularly Rosecrans) and how he almost died when he smoked his first blunt that was laced with Angel Dust. It's similar to much of 2Pac's catalog, with a social message that's carried through a gritty, G-Funk banger. Like 2Pac did in his heyday, Kendrick Lamar is revitalizing and evolving West Coast hip-hop, and one can only wish that 2Pac were still alive to see it all unfold as it has. [10/10]
Emmanuel Elone: When "Only You" started, I didn't think that I was going to like it. The rattling hi hats were bland, and it felt like this song would just be another boring trap beat. I couldn't have been more wrong. An epic horn section (the same ones on Vic Mensa's "U Mad") comes in, and then a vocal sample begins to weave its way around the banging production. Neither are gaudy, but both are tasteful, with enough musical twists and turns to make such a large scale trap instrumental flavorful throughout the whole song. However, while it's good to talk about a song's elements, "Only You" needs to be listened to in order to understand it fully. It slaps in the best way possible, and is one of the few songs that showcases trap music's true potential. [9/10]
Multi-cultural Brooklyn band Butcher Knives cooks up an eclectic genre stew of punk energy with band members from places like Morocco, Israel, Colombia, New York, and New Orleans. Their sound will thrill fans of Gogol Bordello and the Clash as they blend Eastern European music with punk, rockabilly, and psychobilly into a sound they like to call "gypsybilly". Butcher Knives' latest video celebrates the immigrant experience. They tell PopMatters that "'American Dream' is not only the story of a day in the life of the everyday immigrant, but a story of the dissolving 'American Dream' ideals on which this country was once based on." Butcher Knives' sound is irresistible with the swirling accordions, the blend of cultures and the raw, passionate energy of the music.
