|Life's little extremists highlighted at OSTI
Identified as the third kingdom of living organisms, Archaea (from the Greek word for "ancient"), thrive where other life forms fail. These tiny microbes live in extreme environs like volcanic vents, acidic hot springs, and hypersaline waters. They can survive without sunlight while feeding on materials their fellow organisms cannot metabolize. In 1996, a study funded by the Office of Science's Microbial Genome Initiative mapped the entire genome sequence of Methanococcus jannaschii, a microbe from boiling vents deep in the Pacific Ocean, and confirmed its place in the "third branch of life" (see Verifying the "Third Branch of Life"). Archaea are highlighted at OSTI's DOE R&D Accomplishments, a central Web forum for information about the outcomes of past Energy Department research. A list of related documents is available.

Enjoy a classic game of Hearts and watch out for the Queen of Spades! Finish the game with the fewest points possible, or try to Shoot the Moon. Hearts is an "evasion-type" trick-taking card game for four players. Hearts is also known as Black Lady, Chase the Lady, Crubs and Black Maria, though any of these may refer to the Heart-like, but differently-scored, game Black Lady. Hearts is regarded as a member of the Whist family of trick-taking games (which also includes Bridge and Spades), but Hearts is unique among Whist variants in that it is an evasion-type game.

- RBI mid-quarter monetary policy review: HighlightsAfter RBI repo rate hike, Raghuram Rajan says Marginal Standing Facility, repo rate gap to be cutMid-Quarter Monetary Policy Review: Read full statement by Raghuram RajanRBI repo rate hike: India Inc hits out at Raghuram Rajan, says will affect economic growth
Like the 1980s US Fed chairman Paul Volcker, India's new Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan wants to wring entrenched inflation out of a moribund economy. A surprise repo rate hike won't win Raghuram Rajan many friends. But he has sensibly retreated from his predecessor D Subbarao's foolish plan to shore up the falling Indian rupee.
The former Federal Reserve chairman's tight monetary policy tipped the US economy into recession in the early 1980s, but succeeded in curbing double-digit inflation rates. Following in his footsteps, Raghuram Rajan raised the monetary authority's key policy rate by 25 basis points on Sept. 20.
RBI hikes repo rate 25 bps, powers EMIs on loans
Investors were shocked. Yes, inflation is high at 9.5 percent, but GDP growth is collapsing. Strip out government consumption, and real demand expanded only 1.4 percent from a year earlier between April and June. Combating the Indian stagflation with higher interest rates will mean an even bigger sacrifice of output. Stocks fell as much as 3 percent in Mumbai.
Yet, the central bank's focus on price stability is necessary. India's myriad state subsidies are inherently inflationary, as they pump cash into the economy without any commensurate increase in production. The federal budget deficit has reached 63 percent of the fiscal-year target in just four months. Recently announced spending cuts are unlikely to be enough to reduce the deficit in a stagnant economy.
Then there's the beleaguered rupee. To Raghuram Rajan's credit, he is reversing the ill-conceived defence of the Indian currency mounted by his predecessor Duvvuri Subbarao. Even while increasing the policy rate, Raghuram Rajan cut by 75 basis points the penal rate the central bank charges liquidity-starved lenders which borrow directly from it.
Subbarao's decision to jack up this rate by 200 basis points was ineffective. The rupee slid by 22 percent against the U.S. dollar between May and August. The higher rates did, however, raise the lenders' cost of financing long-term loans with short-term deposits and borrowings, effectively taxing a banking system already creaking under mounting bad loans.
Raghuram Rajan can hardly take success of his risky strategy for granted. The currency has stabilized for now, but another rupee slump will push inflation even higher by increasing the domestic cost of imported oil. And how much higher can Indian interest rates go before Raghuram Rajan's political masters stop him in

The shift lever is covered with a thick rubber tip for better grip, and optional friction-shifting is available for those who like to hear themselves shift gears.

I'm looking to put a 9speed cassette on....
I'm looking to put a 9speed cassette on. Will these work for that or do they need to be with 10 speeds?
You could run these as 9 speed however you will have to run them in friction mode as they are designed to be used as 10-speed SIS. The spacing is different on 10-speed than 9-speed. So if you like hovering between gears and trying to get them to line up you could use these.

A Tennessee man accused of obscene on line chats with a Tallahassee teenager has posted a $30,000 bond and is on his way back home with his parents.
John Kinsey made his first appearance before a judge this morning. He'll have to wear a GPS tracking device, is barred from any contact with children under 18 and is forbidden from using the internet at all.
Kinsey's attorney, John Eagan, said "There are two sides to every story and he is innocent until proven guilty."
Eagan says Kinsey has no prior criminal history.

A Tennessee man is now in jail in Tallahassee. He's accused of sending obscene pictures of himself to a 14 year old foster child.
John Kinsey is facing felony charges for it. Arrest papers say he had a series of lewd conversations with a Tallahassee teen and not only sent a picture of himself in his underwear, but sent pictures of his private parts too.
A caseworker discovered the lewd conversations on the teen's facebook page and later discovered the photos.
Tallahassee Police were able to track Kinsey's IP address to Tennessee.

I'm so glad this forum exists. Since I haven't had good weather for a really long time, I can observe through the eyes of everyone that posts here.
Anyway, I finally had the opportunity to get out last night with my 6" refractor to observe Saturn under reasonably good conditions.
Seems like the SEBs has gotten lighter than I last remember.
I believe that the dark ring feature crossing the globe is actually the Crepe Ring. Recent sketches I've seen show this dark line as being north of the northern edge of the rings crossing the globe. To me it seems to actually be south. Its also only slightly darker the SEBn. A ring shadow usually appears darker than this to my eyes.
Some darker segments appeared on the borders of the NEB, but nothing as intense as my last observations under better sky conditions.
Other equipment details are embedded in the sketch.
Sketch was executed using a 4H pencil. I used my fingers for blending.

Listening to the Gadflies in W.Va.
June 8, 2013
Every public body ought to include at least one gadfly....
the answers always are found somewhere in between the extremes. On one hand we now understand that the tax, spend, check of the month club thinking of the liberal Dems does not work and scares jobs away. On the other hand the concept of no social services, no pay raises, pensions, etc., that the far right thinks is a fine policy does not work either. We are probably getting to the middle though Dems don't want to give up their labels and heritage. We are a conservative Dem state, voting Republican nationally because the national Dems don't like us much. Just remember that our kids don't leave WV because there are no jobs. Once educated they find better places to live and raise kids. They don't leave to become mud bogging meth head ******** someplace else. They leave a place that has billboards saying don't do so much meth, you can't work if U do. Maybe reality is setting in here in WV.

Dr. Rudolf Hauschka devoted his life to bringing good health to his patients through the use of holistic interventions that treated the whole body, not just symptoms of illness. In 1967, his work was used as the basis for the Hauschka skin care collection, a range of products that use pure herbal extracts to promote healthier skin for women and men. The Dr. Hauschka Treatments products are therapeutic formulas in this holistic skin care range that are formulated to address many different common skin care concerns.
Because of their pure natural ingredients, the Dr. Hauschka Treatments have the ability to deeply nourish the skin, providing the cells with the raw materials necessary to produce new, healthy tissue. The Dr. Hauschka Treatments are tested to ensure that they are as safe as they are effective. This allows people of all skin types to benefit from the Dr. Hauschka Treatments formulas.
Address your biggest skin care concerns with the all-natural holistic remedies in the Dr. Hauschka Treatments collection.
After repeated reactions, sensitive skin often becomes thick, dry and irritated, diminishing the natural beauty of the complexion. Dr. Hauschka Intensive Treatment 03 is designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin while soothing the tissue to make hypersensitivity reactions less frequent. The formula contains a variety of calming natural extracts, including those derived from kalanchoe, chicory and anthyllis. Rose flower water is also included to soften and condition sensitive complexions.
Signs of aging are a common concern of many women, but for some, the harsh ingredients in most anti-aging products make dealing with fine lines and wrinkles a challenge. Dr. Hauschka Regenerating Serum is an all-natural anti-aging formula that is gentle on the complexion, yet highly effective at minimizing the appearance of signs of aging. The formula contains quince seed oil, which restores hydration to the skin, leaving it firmer and more resistant to wrinkling. Kalanchoe and organic clover blossom honey are added to the mix to encourage the production of new skin tissue.
Due to nutritional deficiencies, harsh chemicals in nail polishes and the effects of the environment, fingernails can gradually lose their firmness and become brittle and susceptible to breakage. The Dr. Hauschka Neem Nail Oil Pen helps to restore strength and beauty to the fingernails by providing the tissue with vital nutrients. Neem oil is used to hydrate the nails, reducing symptoms of brittleness, while keratin repairs microscopic flaws in the nail bed and reinforces the existing fibers that compose the nails. Chamomile is added to condition the cuticles.

WHEELING - The king has been dethroned.

Wheeling Park's Cody Amos, a senior who received the David Bierkorette Award as the OVAC tournament's top wrestler, pinned Caldwell's Jared Leasure in 5:18 for the 182-pound title.
Steubenville ended Parkersburg South's three-year reign as Ron Mauck OVAC Wrestling Tournament champions on Saturday night in the closest finish in four years
Big Red topped the team standings with 267.5 points in winning the tournament for the first time 1995. South totaled 257.
Wheeling Park was third with 197, while Brooke (139) and Beaver Local (132.5) rounded out the top five.
Harrison Central edged Bellaire by 16.5 in 2009, the year before South entered the conference.
''John Craig started this huge tradition back in the day and we've steadily been trying to get the program back to where it was,'' an elated Steubenville coach Mike Blackburn said. ''This is just a stepping stone and these kids deserve it.
''We have a lot seniors that have been with me for a long time.''
Four Big Red wrestlers earned championships, the most of any school. But Steubenville's championship dreams were bolstered by a solid performance in Saturday's afternoon session.
''It definitely showed where we placed,'' he said. ''We had more than half the team either finish first, second, third or fourth and those are big points right there.''
Freshman Tariq Wilson started the night off right by winning the 106-pound championship against South's Logan Ball. Anthony Craig followed later at 126. And when Charlie Kennan and Greg Moray won back-to-back titles at 195 and 220, Big Red knew the overall crown was theirs.
''All of young kids came in and wrestled great,'' Blackburn said. ''And that's the kid of stuff you need to win tournaments like this.
''South set the bar pretty high the past few years and everyone has been trying to get to where they were at.''
Steubenville also won the Class 4A crown. South took home the 5A title, with River and Shadyside winning championships in Class 3A and 2A/1A, respectively.
Wheeling Park boasted two champions - Dylan Taylor at 138 and Cody Amos at 182. It was the third straight crown for Amos, a senior, who received the David Bierkorette Award as the event's top wrestler as voted on by coaches.
''Dylan and Cody deserve everything they got,'' Park coach Jack Doyle said. ''They came out and did what they needed to do.''
Amos also won both the Hercules Award given to the wrestler with the best time in pinning opponents. During the three-day event, Amos won five matches by pin in 6:40.
''His goal just isn't to win championships,'' Doyle said of Amos. ''His goal goal is to pin his way to a title.''
It was a big night for the Tigers as the senior trio of Ian Baker (145), Alex Quinn (152) and Chase Kinemond (160) won back-to-back-to-back crowns.
Quinn won his second straight title, while Baker and Kinemond stepped to the top spot on the awards' stand for the first time.
''This is something special,'' Shadyside coach Scott Kinemond was lifted into the air for the third time. ''This is the best wrestling moment for me.
''To see these three seniors accomplish this is great. Coaching them from kindergarten, first grade and just being with them throughout their lives and watching them grow up.
''I'm speechless.''
St. Clairsville's Corey Earnest won his first OVAC crown by upending 2012 runner-up Taylor Ortiz of Morgantown at 220.
South's Lance Hill (113), Meadowbrook's Jerad Patterson (120), University's Scott Lopez (132) and Beaver Local's Daniel Lattanzio (170) were the other individual champions.

|MOPS mothers embrace 'A Beautiful Mess' theme
|Written by Darci Tomky
As Mothers of Preschoolers get into the swing of another year, local MOPS leaders got refreshed, re-energized and rejuvenated about the ministry at the international organization's annual conference, MOMcon, in Kansas City, Kan., Oct. 17-19.
Local MOPS leaders Karman Keith and Laura Beth Schroetlin attend the national conference in Kansas City, Kan.
Holyoke leaders Karman Keith, Laura Beth Schroetlin and Beth Penfold joined over 3,000 other women for the "Amazing Happens Here" conference, which celebrated MOPS' 40th year. Featured speakers, worship, workshops, a marketplace and Mom's Night Out entertainment kept all the women plenty busy.
It's a chance to connect with other leaders and give each other encouragement, said Keith. "No matter what size your group, we're all struggling with the same things," she said.
Holyoke's small MOPS group is in its fourth year, with around 7-9 moms attending each session.
Keith said women who are expecting a child or who have children up to first grade are invited to attend meetings every second and fourth Mondays from 9:15-11:15 at First Baptist Church in Holyoke. Daycare is provided at no charge, and moms can attend two meetings before deciding to join.

Serena Williams strips down AGAIN this time as "The Athlete" and one of Glamour magazine's Women of the Year.
Billie Jean King explains why she was chosen telling the mag,
When most people would falter, she is able to raise her game a level, and that's what you look for in champions. I feel confident she will win more major singles titles than my 12. And that makes me very proud.Clearly this choice by the pub will be a controversial one for many especially in light of her US Open meltdown.
This photo is almost a carbon copy of her recent ESPN The Magazine cover for "The Body Issue." I find it really strange they would use a similar photo or have ReRe pose in almost exactly the same way as that cover.
So much for originality. Or clothes.

Royals Remember Kelsey Smith
You have probably already heard about the Royals players and coaches wearing light blue ribbons for Sunday's game in memory of Kelsey Smith, the local young woman who was kidnapped and found dead last week. The decision to wear the ribbons was made after Manager Buddy Bell met with Kelsey's relatives Sunday morning.
This morning, our team photographer sent over some pictures from yesterday's game.
Tonight, there is a visitation for Kelsey from 7-9 p.m. at The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection at 13720 Roe Ave. in Leawood. A memorial service will start at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the church. On behalf of the Royals family, our continued thoughts and prayers go out to Kelsey's family at this time.
1 Comment
These pictures of the Royals wearing light blue ribbons on their wrists in honor of Kelsey Smith nearly made me cry.
There are good people in this world.
Thank you for your community unity. And thank you for remembering this bright, beautiful girl.

Pericardial effusion (per-e-KAHR-dee-ul uh-FU-zhun) occurs when too much fluid builds up around the heart.
The heart is surrounded by a double-layered, sac-like structure called the pericardium. The space between the layers normally contains a very small amount of fluid.
But if the pericardium is diseased or injured, the resulting inflammation can lead to pericardial effusion. Fluid can also build up around the heart without inflammation. Sometimes, pericardial effusion can be caused by the accumulation of blood after a surgical procedure or injury.
When the amount of fluid exceeds the pericardium's "full" level, pericardial effusion puts pressure on the heart, causing poor heart function. If left untreated, pericardial effusion can cause heart failure or even death.

1939 Ford Pickup - Project NastruckWritten by on November 1, 2005 Contributors: D. Brian Smith, Scott Killeen Susan & Randy Jackson's '39 Ford Pickup
The NASCAR circuit has many avid fans around the country. One passionate pair of race fans is Susan and Randy Jackson of Commerce City, Colorado. The Jacksons are the proud owners of this Real Red '39 Ford pickup, purchased from the Wyoming Forest Service in 1992. Over the next decade, the Jacksons struggled to complete their street rod pickup, but were delayed by the usual responsibilities of earning a living and raising a family. When they met Russ Tilkes of Just Dream'N (Full Service Rod & Custom) in 2002, the project picked up speed and was finished three activity-filled years later.
CCT gave readers a preview of the Jacksons' '39 Ford pickup in the July '05 issue, when the Just Dream'N crew (Golden, Colorado) installed the big oval '04 Mini Cooper projector-beam headlights that were grafted into the round front fenders of the Ford. The crew also sectioned the grille several inches to make room for a functional air dam below the grille and fenders.
The '39 Ford grille is quite often less appreciated than the '40-41 design, which has a greater relationship to the passenger-car grille. As a result, the Jacksons and Russ Tilkes themed the project pickup as Fast & Ugly. From that point, the idea of a vintage NASCAR truck was born, and the name NASTRUCK stuck. Steve Haugen of Victory Illustration rendered the red truck (July '05, page 80) as a vintage race truck.
The small shop in Colorado pulled out all the fabrication skills they possessed to create a vintage truck capable of 150 mile-per-hour speeds-and not just capable, but safe as well. The solid chassis foundation is a 2x4-inch rectangular tubing frame from Art Morrison. It was originally a '40 Ford passenger car chassis that the Just Dream'N crew then altered to fit the truck by cutting and modifying the front and rear framerails. Cab and bed mounts were built to accommodate the variations in design.
Trudesign Wheel owner Jim Lyon was contracted to create a new wheel design-the spoke wheels are actually 17-inch billet aluminum Arrow-look-alike wheels mounting Z-rated Goodyear rubber that look like NASCAR tires. The tinted door glass was installed and the tinted windshield glass was V-butted by Vance at Showtime Auto Glass.
To some viewers, the little red pickup has the cute face of a Disney character, and it has made plenty of friends this summer as it has roared out of the garage and started to become a public personality. We expect the NASTRUCK to continue to make more friends and gather plenty of awards at events all over the country. However, anyone who thinks this truck is all cute stuff and no performance skill is bound to be surprised at how well it kicks butt on the asphalt, in a straight line or in circles. Patience has its reward, Susan and Randy. Congratulations for making your dream come true at Just Dream'N.
