With the warmer weather and the sleeveless tops arriving on the scene, no one wants the day ruined with offensive body odor. For some, the idea of extra chemicals to combat the odor is counter-intuitive. Primal Pit Paste is an truly organic, all natural deodorant that combats body odor.
Primal Pit Paste was born from a quest to find natural and safe personal care products. Unlike traditional deodorants, Pit Paste is rubbed in like a lotion. Just a pea size amount is sufficient. These product contain the following ingredients:
- Organic Coconut Oil, which has many health benefits for your brain and overall health.
- Organic, Raw Grade A Shea Butter, which has amazing properties like vitamin A and D which are great for you skin. In Africa, shea butter is used for cooking. It is derived from the nut of shea karite -tree. The shea butter we buy is fair trade, which is helping to support the women in Africa.
- Non-Aluminum Baking Soda is a powerful odor-fighting ingredient
- Organic Arrowroot Powder is used as a thickener and helps with soaking up moisture while you sweat out those toxins
This product is not an antiperspirant. According to the manufacturer, it is important to sweat and release toxins. Most deodorants and antiperspirants not only keep the toxins in by preventing you from sweating, but they are designed to absorb into the skin. The question becomes what is your body absorbing. These concerns are prevalent for younger audiences.
One product in the line is Primal Pit Paste for kids. Children can have body odor. When the boys come home from football practice, they don't smell like roses and daffodils. The "man scent" is quite prevalent. But, some parents have concerns about putting additional chemicals on young children. By using the all natural, organic Primal Pit Paste, the kids have reduced odor and less sweat. Moms are happy with a less smelly car and the kids are feeling good about themselves.
Primal Pit Paste offers Primal Pit Paste in a jar or in a stick. The price ranges from $8.95 to $12.95 depending on the type. The formulas come in four fragrances, Lavender, Thyme & Lemongrass, Orange Creamsicle (for kids) and Unscented.
This summer stop the stink naturally with Primal Pit Paste.

2010 World Cup Opening Concert
The event that the whole of South Africa, and the world for that matter, has been looking forward to has finally arrived: the 2010 Soccer World Cup. On 10 June 2010, the Orlando Stadium in Soweto, Johannesburg, came alive with color, music and fans, gathered to celebrate the official opening of the World Cup with a concert that will long be remembered. International and local celebrities filled the stadium with rhythm and festivities, bringing everyone together in unity.
The first match will be played on 11 June 2010, with South Africa's Bafana Bafana facing off against Mexico, but team rivalry was forgotten as the music of the opening concert lifted spirits and created an atmosphere of celebration. Spectators were able to see their favorite soccer stars grace the stage, as well as magnificent performances by stars such as Shakira, Hugh Masekela, Alicia Keyes, R Kelly and the Black Eyed Peas. Other performers included BLK JKS, Amadou & Mariam of Mali, John Legend, Vusi Mahlasela, Kidjo, Juanes, The Parlotones, Tinariwen, Vieux Farka Toure, Angelique and Femi Kuti, to name but a few. Fans cheered while waving flags and blowing vuvuzelas, showing their appreciation for the artists and the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
The opening match will also have a long list of dignitaries and celebrities in attendance, as Thabo Mbeki, Ban Ki-Moon, Joe Biden, FW de Klerk, Mwai Kibaki and Robert Mugabe, have confirmed their presence. More than two thousand journalists will be attending the opening match from all over the world, with more than four hundred photographers documenting the event on film. Not only was the official opening concert a massive success, with more than fifty thousand people in attendance, but throughout South Africa stadiums opened their doors for the Fan Fest, where supporters were able to enjoy music and entertaining performances in all the host cities. The 2010 World Cup has kicked off on such a high note that it is seen as a start of things to come. With a beautiful country to explore, World Cup games to attend, brilliant local and international music, and an unmatched atmosphere to enjoy, the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup is guaranteed to be an unforgettable event.

3D visualization of a male and female engaged in sexual intercourse reconstructed from a Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI). As humans become sexually excited the sex organs prepare for coitus through changes in the circulatory and nervous systems. The brain receives signals from the genitals. The hearts hastens flooding the arteries the veins constrict. Blood engorges the erectile tissue of the penis and clitoris as well as the testicles ovaries and labia minora - two thin folds of integument that lie just inside the vestibule of the vagina. Muscles tense. Nipples stiffen. These effects plateau. In a woman the outer third of the vagina becomes vasoconstricted moistening while the inner two thirds expand slightly and the uterus becomes elevated - all in preparation for receiving sperm. Male preejaculate adds lubrication near the cervix. The involuntary nervous system increases breathing and quicken the pulse. Orgasm occurs with a loss of control a shuddering release. In men this occurs in two stages. As the intensity builds reflex centers in the spinal cord send impulses to the genitals prompting the smooth muscles of the testes epididymides and vas deferentia to contract and squeeze sperm into the urethra. It's the filling of the urethra that triggers the muscles encasing the base of the penis to contract and force the semen out. Women's orgasms involve the uterus and the outer vagina including the clitoris. Once excited women are capable of multiple orgasms.

When four cups of coffee aren't enough to jolt us out of our Monday slump, we just stare our French Bull Electric Travel Mug ($16) square in the dots for an added dose of energizing power. It keeps our coffee piping hot and our afternoon iced latte super cold, two beverages we require at specific times of day to ensure that our train ride home doesn't get nasty.
neat ideas.Loved the coffee cup!somedays it is just needed And dots too! so good to be truw!!!

As exercise has gone primal with the recession and the do more with less attitude. Technology has crept back in. Let's face it boredom, convenience, time, and knowledge are some of the big road blocks to fitness. There are many roads to fitness and there is no one true way. If you love group exercise that is great because it is awesome, but if you want to let science and technology in, here are some great options;
Zen trainer with touch screen
Vibration technology; although Vibration plates are not new and have been on the fringe for a while they have taken a big step to be affordable with quality. There have been some cheesy low price models, but quality has started to dominate the below $1000.00 price point. Also the mid price has started to give great programming options like the Zen Pro 5910.
True touch screen treadmill.
Treadmills have gone virtual, and ran boredom right off the treadmill. True fitness is offering new virtual workout options on their premium units.
Nexersys home unit.
Do you want to take a boxing workout class and not have to go to a club? Nexersys allows you to take that class with built in video instruction. This unit also can lead you through a 15 round workout that grades you on speed accuracy and power.
Chairmaster is a home chair that works like a transformer. If you want a bike a couple of well placed tugs and boom its a bike. Hook up a couple of tubes and boom you are resistance training. This is a great tool for those actively aging. In other words it is great for seniors or for rehabilitation. It probably would not make a cross-fit person happy.
WaterRower We-Row
WaterRower Natural and above give you the options to compete wit others in a race. It looks a bit like 90's graphics but is true to the contest. Remember competition raises your fitness level.

Twisted Texas Chicken Diablos
2011 Holiday Recipe Contest Winner

- Rating:
This recipe was featured in 2011 Holiday Recipe Contest.
Contest sponsored by the Texas Pecan Board
Sativa Rasmussen-Sanders, a member of Bandera Electric Cooperative, received $1,000 as the winner of the Savory category in the 2011 Texas Co-op Power Holiday Recipe Contest.
Rasmussen-Sanders, who lives in Pipe Creek with her husband, Ryan, and sons Ryeth, 15; Colsten, 9; and Vanden, 6; does a lot of cooking to feed her boys. "They eat a lot," she said.
The inspiration for her Twisted Texas Chicken Diablos recipe came from eating similar dishes at area restaurants. She made a few changes, incorporating pecans and grilling or baking them instead of deep frying, as with the versions she'd eaten off local menus.
Twisted Texas Chicken Diablos
2 pounds chicken tenders
2/3 cup orange juice
1 1/2 tablespoons dry steak seasoning
8 ounces cream cheese
2/3 cup chopped Texas pecans
12 whole fresh jalapeños
2 pounds thin-sliced bacon
2 cups barbecue sauce
Place chicken tenders in bowl, add orange juice and 1 tablespoon steak seasoning, stir, cover and set in refrigerator to marinate 1 or more hours, but not overnight. In separate bowl, mix cream cheese, pecans and 1/2 tablespoon steak seasoning, blend well by hand, and set aside. When ready to assemble, wash and slice jalapeños in half lengthwise, remove seeds, then rinse again. Fill jalapeño half with cream cheese mixture, place chicken tender on top of filling, wrap with 1 slice of bacon, and secure with large grilling skewer so that bacon stays wrapped around jalapeño. Place three stuffed jalapeños on each skewer. When finished, brush all finished jalapeños generously with barbecue sauce. Bake or grill until chicken is thoroughly cooked, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour at 350 degrees, turning halfway through cooking time and basting with more sauce. Baste one last time about 5 minutes before finishing cooking or use remaining sauce to serve.

Earthbag construction is relatively low cost method to build structures which can be built quickly and are strong. It is a building technique which evolved from the historic military bunker construction and temporary flood control.
Earthbag technology requires very basic construction techniques, mainly strong sacks filled with inorganic material, subsoil. Sometimes instead of sacks, long tubes are used. The range of the fill can be anything from clay to pure sand and can also be gravel or crushed volcanic rock, but usually the bags are filled with subsoil that contains some clay to form a rammed earth type of consistency inside the bags. The way the walls are built and detailed greatly will depend on what the fill of the bag is, and what type of climatic condition, i.e. whether the area is prone to earthquake or flooding.
The bags or tubes are filled on site, the fill being brought to the bags. Usually the cheapest bags available are made out of polypropylene, although burlap or hessian bags can be found, or they can be made out of any material that doesn't stretch too much. To improve on friction between the courses and tensile strength barbed wire is used. If the structure is not in an earthquake zone, and barbed wire wants to be avoided, then the wall can be pegged if designed appropriately.
Its important for the structure to be finished with a plaster or a render as the UV from the sun will deteriorate the polypropylene bags within a few months.
As well as vertical straight walls, Earthbag structures can be built as domes with arched openings therefore used in areas where there is no wood or clay. The main structural reason that Earthbag domes can be built is due to corbelling. This means each row of bags is inset slightly from the course below. Corbelled domes made of adobe and stone have been built for thousands of years. The concept has been applied to earthbags in the last few decades initiated by Nader Khalili who largely developed and popularized the methods and arch

Dec. 16, 2011

CARBONDALE, Ill.-- The Southern Illinois women's basketball team is back in action for the first time in more than a week as the Salukis travel to UT Martin Sunday.
Date: Sunday, Dec. 18
Time: 3 p.m. CST
Location: Martin, Tenn.
Site: Skyhawk Arena (5,000)
Radio: 810 WDDD-AM
Play-by-play by Patrick Erickson
Color commentary by Johnny Sole
Game Notes
Live Stats
Game Central Audio
Southern Illinois Salukis (3-5)
Head Coach: Missy Tiber, Third Year (177-127 overall, 10-57 at SIU)
UT Martin Skyhawks (4-3)
Head Coach: Kevin McMillan, Third Year (36-35 overall and at UTM)
SIU leads the all-time series between the two teams 7-6, although the Skyhawks topped the Salukis 62-50 last season in Carbondale. UTM has lost four straight heading into the weekend as the Skyhawks have a matchup with Evansville Friday night before hosting SIU. UTM boasts two of the nations top scorers in guards Heather Butler and Jasmine Newsome, who both rank in the top 20 nationally with scoring averages over 20 points per game. Butler averages 20.6 points per game while Newsome averages 20.1 per game. Jaclissa Haislip is the Skyhawks' leading rebounder at 5.3 boards per game while Newsome averages 4.8 rebounds and Butler averages 4.0. Newsome leads the team with an average of 5.3 assists per game.
Struggles from the free throw line cost SIU in a 61-59 loss to Wright State December 10 in Dayton, Ohio. The Salukis shot 57.1 percent from the charity stripe (16-for-28) on the day, missing six out of eight in the game's final minutes. Teri Oliver led Southern with 26 points in the loss while Cartaesha Macklin added 11 points and Brooke LeMar chipped in 10. Alexus Patterson led the Saluki rebounding effort with a career-best 13 boards.
SIU has two of the top four scorers in the MVC in guards Teri Oliver and Cartaesha Macklin. Oliver leads the MVC with an average of 19.5 points per game and Macklin ranks fourth at 15.3 points per game. Macklin has averaged 17.8 points per game in her last six games since being inserted into Southern's starting lineup, including a 27-point outing against IUPUI. Oliver opened the season with a career-high 32 points against Austin Peay and has since had 18 or more in five games. Whereas Oliver does most of damage from long range, with an MVC-leading average of 3.5 3-pointers made per game, Macklin scores by driving to the hoop and either making layups or drawing fouls. Macklin has been to the free throw line 55 times and ranks fifth in the Valley with a free throw percentage of 85.5 percent.
Southern carries a 1-3 record in road games this season, but the Salukis' road losses have been by a combined 11 points. SIU hasn't lost by more than six in any of their road losses and has held leads in the final minutes of each road loss. The Salukis will look to reverse this trend as they play their next four on the road.
UT Martin is one of five Ohio Valley Conference programs SIU will face during the 2011-12 season. SIU lost to OVC member Austin Peay to open the season before topping Tennessee State November 22 and falling to SIU Edwardsville December 3 in overtime. The Salukis will also face Murray State during their non-conference slate. The Salukis are 119-38 all-time against the current roster of OVC schools.
Southern Illinois players Teri Oliver and CiCi Shannon both set new SIU records in recent weeks. Oliver hit three 3-pointers November 29 against Northern Illinois to overtake Karrie Redeker (1988-92) as Southern's all-time leader in career 3-pointers made. The Kokomo, Ind., native has made 173 treys for her Saluki career. She leads the MVC with an average of 3.5 3-pointers made per game. Shannon blocked three shots Dec. 8 in SIU's win over IUPUI to supplant Kathy Kampwerth (1985-89) as SIU's all-time leader in blocked shots. Shannon has blocked 108 shots in her career. She leads the MVC with an average of 3.3 blocks per game.
SIU's season scoring average of 65.6 points per game is well ahead of its average of 50.9 points per game last season. The Salukis have already had four 70-plus point games this season after having just one all of last season. Southern's 89 points against Tennessee State marked the highest offensive output for the Salukis since scoring 95 against Indiana State on Jan. 3, 2008.

I have over 300 pens in my collection ,and I use them all ! I saw this this one and I knew I had to have it. This pen was purchased in purple and all I can say is Wow! This pen has a great feel to it and write very well. I added a gel refill and people who ask me to try it loved the flow. If you are looking for the wow factor in a new pen then this is the one!!!!
Nice until it broke
By ChrisP
from Belleville, IL
I was very satisfied when I first saw and held this pen. Nice weight and look. I began to notice a slight wiggle in the mechanism during the first week. It has worsened to the point where the two ends now easily slide apart.I have several other Levenger products and know their quality is above this unique experience.I plan to exchange for the same pen and give it another chance.

These are really good tasting Almonds that are much more chewy than what you find at the stores. I think they are packaged very fresh and that's why they have such a great texture. Definitely worth checking out.

I am always looking in the bulk bins to see if they have any fresh nuts but they are always greasy (which means they are rancid). These were not greasy at all, wonderful flavor.
great tasting almons

A 30 year retrospective of the magical "secret lives" of trees, freshly seen by the camera's eye in a single un-manipulated frame, and printed as darkroom gelatin silver, alternative process lith or archival pigment.
Photographer Diane Kaye is internationally recognized for the quality of her work and she has exhibited widely and received numerous awards. Diane's background includes black and white darkroom printing, the use of both film and digital media, the "lith printing" technique, and digital negatives. She photographed the November 1989 beginning of the revolution at the Berlin Wall, developed large portfolios in landscape, nude, portraiture, and street photography and more recently performed experiments with motion, some of which involve the use of a scanner as camera. Her primary concerns in a fine print are: luminosity, compositional tension, mystery, and the visual expression of that which cannot be put into words.

According to reports, the officer, 34-year-old Ronald Harris, followed a Make-A-Wish Foundation volunteer to the Memphis International Airport where a meeting with the recipient family was to be held.
As the volunteer sat with the family, who was about to receive a bag containing t-shirts and a $1,500 gift card, Harris quietly approached and seized the items. Being noticed by the volunteer, Harris reportedly attempted to play the theft off as a mistake.
Several minutes later, Harris returned and snatched the bag a second time before running out of the terminal. A family member of the sick toddler was head-butted by Harris as he attempted to retrieve the bag, an injury that later required several stitches.
Statements from the incident's police report indicate that Harris then fought several officers, even escaping from a police car at one point.
The Memphis Police Department later announced that Harris would be suspended with pay until an internal investigation could be conducted. Currently in custody on $25,000 bail, Harris now faces several charges including escape from felony incarceration, aggravated assault and robbery.
"It is certainly disheartening and I am deeply saddened that an organization as wonderful as Make-A-Wish was victimized by someone sworn to protect, especially a member of the Memphis Police Department," Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong told reporters. "Thankfully, no one sustained serious injuries. This officer is now facing serious charges for his criminal behavior. The Airport Police is to be commended for their quick response and professionalism."
Liz Nelson, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish, released a similar statement condemning the officer's actions.
"People make poor choices, and we don't know the decisions that lead this person to do what they did" Nelson said. "We are just fortunate that we have the Memphis Police Department and the airport."
According to WMC Action News 5, Harris' 12-year tenure with the department has been plagued with countless violations.
"Harris' personnel file contained several violations including damage to a squad car, radio violations, sick leave policy abuse, sleeping on the job, failure to get approval for additional employment, and failure to appear in court," the investigation states. "Most resulted in a written reprimand or a short suspension."
Harris' alleged actions represent the rife corruption issues facing countless police departments across the country, where officers engaged in blatant criminal activity continue to be rewarded with special protection from the laws they purport to uphold.

A graphic video that shows a police shooting of a homeless man in the Albuquerque foothills is raising a firestorm of controversy, and it's not the first time police there have faced backlash over citizen shootings.
Hundreds have posted outraged comments online and a public protest of the Albuquerque Police Department is planned for Tuesday evening after police last week released the helmet-cam video, which shows officers shooting at a homeless man March 16 who they said was illegally camping, reports CBS affiliate KRQE.
In the video, the man, James Boyd, 38, appears to turn away before he is shot by police. Boyd later died. He was struck by at least one live round, but the medical investigator's office hasn't determined what killed him, reports the Albuquerque Journal.
According to an Albuquerque police spokeswoman, Boyd was carrying knives and threatening to kill the officers. But critics say the incident raises alarming questions about how Albuquerque police use deadly force.
"We've reviewed the video, and like many people who have seen it, we found it to be fairly disturbing," Steve Allen, public policy director for the ACLU of New Mexico, told CBS News' Crimesider. "It certainly does raise questions about why this tragedy couldn't have been avoided."
For critics, the police shooting is an all-too-common occurrence in Albuquerque. Boyd's death marks the 22nd deadly police-involved shooting since early 2010, said Andrew Lipman, who chaired the city council's Police Oversight Task Force.
Lipman's 11-member task force released recommendations in January calling for the creation of a totally new and independent body to act as a citizen oversight group for police.
The task force also called Tuesday for an independent review of Boyd's shooting.
"They're viewing this man as kind of the enemy, in a combat situation, and that's not really what they're there to do -- they're there to ensure public safety," Lipman said. "...This man lost his life because he was illegally camping."

PRESS RELEASE: Direct from Greenville Technical College
South Carolina may have its first female governor, but the Palmetto State lags behind the nation in electing women to office in its legislative branch.
There is only one woman in the S.C. Senate and only 21 of 124 female members in the S.C. House. South Carolina ranks 49th in the percentage of women in elective office, and women are underrepresented on public boards and commissions.
In order to prepare the next generation of female leaders for South Carolina, the John C. West Forum on Politics and Policy at Winthrop University joined with the College of Charleston to organize a NEW Leadership conference at Winthrop May 19-22. May 21 was spent in Columbia meeting with state officials.
The purpose was to educate college women about the political process and to inspire them to consider careers in public service. The institute hosted 15 female college students from across the state.
Participants from Greenville Technical College were Penny Dewberry, Chloe Schockling, Tina Harris, and Amanda Clark.
Institutions represented were Coastal Carolina, USC Aiken, Greenville Technical College, Winthrop, College of Charleston and Francis Marion University.

It turned out that mastering the guidance and materials technology needed for a Mach 3 cruise air vehicle was actually more difficult than for a Mach 22 ballistic missile. In the end, the Redstone, Thor, Jupiter, and Atlas rockets were flying before their equivalent-range Navaho counterparts. However the Navaho program provided the engine technology that allowed the US to develop these ballistic missiles rapidly and catch up with the Russians. Navaho also developed chem-milling fuel tank fabrication techniques, inertial and stellar navigation, and a host of other technologies used in later space vehicles. It put North American Aviation, and its Rocketdyne Division, in a leading position that allowed them to capture the prime contracts for the X-15, Apollo, and Space Shuttle projects, thereby dominating American manned spaceflight for the next seventy years.

The Hubble Space Telescope was released back into orbit at 06:41 GMT on February 19. Discovery landed on Runway 15 at Kennedy Space Center at 08:32 GMT on February 21.
CRISTA-SPAS was deployed by the RMS arm at 22:27 GMT on August 7 and was recaptured by Discovery's RMS arm at 15:14 GMT on August 16. Because of unfavorable weather conditions at the primary shuttle landing site at the Kennedy Space Center, Discovery was waved off for its scheduled August 18 landing. STS-85 landed the next day, at Kennedy Space Center at 11:08 GMT.
Spartan was recaptured by hand, during a spacewalk by Takao Doi and Winston Scott on November 25. Tests of space station tools went well, but the free-flying Sprint camera subsatellite was not deployed due to lack of time.
NASA decided not to redeploy Spartan on this mission. During an EVA on Dec 3, Doi and Scott carried out more tests of the Space Station crane. They also deployed the AERCam/Sprint 'football' remote-controlled camera for a free flight in the payload bay.
Columbia landed on December 5, with a deorbit burn at 11:21 GMT. Touchdown was at 12:20 GMT at Kennedy Space Center.
On December 5 at 22:25 GMT Nancy Currie unberthed the Unity space station node from the payload bay using the RMS arm. She then moved the Unity to a position docked to the Orbiter Docking System in the payload bay in readiness for assembly with the Russian-launched Zarya FGB ISS component. After rendezvous with the Zarya FGB module, on December 6 at 23:47 GMT Endeavour grappled Zarya with the robot arm, and at 02:07 GMT on December 7 it was soft docked to the PMA-1 port on Unity. After some problems hard dock was achieved at 02:48 GMT. Unity and Zarya then formed the core of the future International Space Station. Ross and Newman made three space walks to connect cables between Zarya and Unity, on December 7, 9 and 12. On the last EVA a canvas tool bag was attached to the exterior of Unity to provide tools for future station assembly workers. Docking cables were disconnected to prevent Unity and Zarya from inadvertently undocking. Following an internal examination of the embryonic space station, Endeavour undocked at 20:30 GMT on December 13. The SAC-A and Mightysat satellites were ejected from the payload bay on December 14 and 15. Deorbit burn was December 16 at 03:48 GMT, and Endeavour landed at 04:53:29 GMT, on Runway 15 at the Kennedy Space Center.
Payloads included:
The STS-96 payload bay manifest:
On May 30 at 02:56 GMT Tammy Jernigan and Dan Barry entered the payload bay of Discovery from the tunnel adapter hatch, and made a 7 hr 55 min space walk, transferring equipment to the exterior of the station.
On May 31 at 01:15 GMT the hatch to Unity was opened and the crew began several days of cargo transfers to the station. Battery units and communications equipment were replaced and sound insulation was added to Zarya. Discovery undocked from ISS at 22:39 GMT on June 3 into a 385 x 399 km x 51.6 degree orbit, leaving the station without a crew aboard. On June 5 the Starshine satellite was ejected from the payload bay. The payload bay doors were closed at around 02:15 GMT on June 6 and the deorbit burn was at 04:54 GMT. Discovery landed on runway 15 at Kennedy Space Center at 06:02 GMT.
The orbiter payload bay contained only the Chandra spacecraft, the IUS, and the IUS tilt tableTthe following payloads were carried in the shuttle�s cabin: STL-B (Space Tissue Loss), CCM (Cell culture module), SAREX-II (Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment), EarthKam, PGIM (Plant Growth Investigations in Microgravity), CGBA (Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus), MEMS (Micro-electric Mechanical System), and BRIC (Biological Research in Canisters) and SWUIS (the Southwest Ultraviolet Imaging System, an 0.18-m UV telescope to be used for airglow and planetary observations); GOSAMR (the Gelation of Sols: Applied Microgravity Research experiment) and LFSAH, the Lightweight Flexible Solar Array Hinge. MSX and SIMPLEX experiments were also to be carried out.
Chandra/IUS-27 was deployed from Columbia at 11:47 GMT July 23. Flight duration was limited; this was the heaviest shuttle (122,534 kg) and heaviest payload (19,736 kg) to that date. Columbia landed at 03:20 GMT on July 28 on runway 33 at Kennedy Space Center. Post-flight inspection found the presence of holes in the cooling lines on the nozzle of SSME 2019 (engine 3) which caused a hydrogen leak. A loose repair pin in the engine broke free and caused the failure. The cause of the short was found to be chaffed wiring inside the shuttle. The entire fleet was grounded for inspection and replacement of wiring as necessary.
The payload bay of Endeavour for STS-97 contained a total cargo of 18740 kg:

Passive Inhalation of Marijuana Smoke and Urine Drug Test Results
Can a person passively inhale enough marijuana smoke, when in the company of marijuana smokers, to cause them to have a positive urine test?
The answer is: NO, it is very unlikely!
The following studies published in scientific journals show no instances where passive inhalation of marijuana smoke, even under extreme conditions, caused urine specimens of non-marijuana users to test positive for THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) using the screening and confirmation cutoff levels currently mandated by SAMHSA (the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration). Reference to the actual studies are given below so that the information can be admissible in court when this issue is raised.
The first study was conducted by Perez-Reyes and co-workers in 1983. (1-3) The study consisted of three different experiments; one conducted in an automobile, and two in a small room. Of the specimens collected for analysis, two specimens were found positive for THC metabolites by the EMIT screening test at a cutoff level of 20 ng/ml. One of these was measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and gave only 3.9 ng/ml of the THC-acid metabolite. The conditions in these studies were relatively severe.
Law et al. (4) performed a passive inhalation study in a room approximately 10 x 12 x 8 ft., four nonsmokers played cards over a 3 hour period, at the start of which six other males each smoked marijuana. The concentrations found in the passive inhalers did not exceed 7 ng/ml of total THC metabolites. The authors concluded that the amount of THC metabolites detected in the urine is clearly dependent on the size and ventilation of the room and on the amount of marijuana smoked.
Morland et al. (5) performed a study in which subjects in a car smoked either marijuana or hashish mixed with tobacco, equivalent to 90 mg THC in the presence of naive passive inhalers. Analysis of the urine samples from the passive inhalers showed no detectable levels of THC metabolites in the subjects involved in the hashish study, but the subjects passively exposed to marijuana smoke did show occasional urine specimens that were positive at concentrations ranging from 14 to 30 ng/ml of total THC metabolites. The author noted that "the discomfort caused by the heavy cannabis smoke during the exposure period was universal among both active and passive smokers."
1985 – 1990:
Cone and co-workers (6-8) performed a series of rigorous double-blind marijuana passive inhalation studies. The maximum urine concentration of the THC-acid metabolite obtained by GC/MS analysis was 12 ng/ml. The conditions during this test were so extreme, that all the subjects wore goggles to protect their eyes from the dense smoke in the room. The exposure conditions of these studies were more severe than would be expected under "real world" conditions of passive exposure.
Mule' et al. (9) conducted a study involving eight marijuana smokers (each smoking four cigarettes with 27 mg THC per cigarette) and three nonsmokers passively inhaling the marijuana smoke in a closed 10x10x8 ft. room with no windows. He consistently reported less than 10 ng/ml of THC metabolites as a result of passive inhalation.
These studies showed that although it is true that passive inhalation of marijuana smoke results in absorption of THC in the body, none of the THC levels from the non-marijuana users were high enough to cause a positive result using the current screening and confirmation cutoff levels mandated by SAMHSA; 50 ng/ml cutoff for the screen test and 15 ng/ml for the confirmation test.

With the geographic references tagged, the search returns only the documents containing references to the geographic area of interest. The user can select a country, state, or city to search, or further limit the search with artificial boundaries to select a region or neighborhood. Once the geographic area is defined, the user enters search terms. The solution returns only documents with those search terms that are tagged with latitudes and longitudes within the geographic area of interest.
Search results are literally viewed on a map, providing an intuitive picture of the geospatial pattern of those results. Search query results appear as icons on a digital map and in a results list. The location of each document icon coincides with the geographic locations mentioned within. If a user wants to find all documents relative to a geographic area—such as within a country, city, or latitude/longitude bounding box—the solution renders a map appropriately marked with icons representing every document that includes text pertaining to the identified location. By clicking on a document icon, a user gains direct access to the original document.
The benefits of fusing geospatial information and text search are clear. For instance, a repair team looking for historical information on sewers in a certain part of town can first limit the search to the specific neighborhood, then search for sewers. This eliminates any information about sewers in other neighborhoods not relevant to the current project.
Similarly, a water treatment plant manager trying to identify the source of pollution in a nearby river can first limit his search to the immediate area around the river, then use keywords to search for a specific chemical or pollutant. This allows the manager to hone in on the company that may have produced the chemical, while eliminating other companies that produce the chemical but are too far away to be the pollutant source.
It is increasingly important that a manager make the best decisions based on all the available information; pertinent information should be available in both structured and unstructured documents. The use of GTS that can intelligently search unstructured and structured data containing geographic terms ensures that decision-makers can effectively and accurately access all the information necessary to make timely, appropriate decisions.
Natural language processing mimics human behavior to interpret data.
Human beings can easily distinguish ambiguous references. For example, for a person in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, the statement "I went to Vienna last night," clearly refers to the Fairfax County, Va., suburb, not to the capital of Austria. In fact, there are 35 separate places in the world named Vienna; 31 of them in the United States. While a human can tell the difference between those references, a computer will have more difficulty.
Using natural language processing (NLP), a subfield of artificial intelligence and linguistics, allows a computer to use context clues in a document to determine the geographic area being referenced. For example, if the speaker continued the comment about Vienna by saying "then I drove through Tysons Corner to get home," the technology allows a significant degree of confidence that the speaker is indeed talking about Vienna, Va., as Tysons Corner is a neighboring suburb. However, if the sentence instead continued, "and we drove from there to Slovakia," there is a degree of confidence that the Vienna in question is in fact in Austria.
Also, NLP can differentiate between references that may or may not be place names. The word "Denton" could refer to any one of 39 geographic locations—or it could be a person. Once again, the context of the surrounding document provides indicators. The words "city of" or "mayor of" preceding a name like Denton, or the words "community college" following, are strong positive indicators that the candidate name is geographic. The words mister, doctor, or a common first name preceding the name are strong negative indicators.

Saturday night's welterweight superfight between Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz has everything a prizefight could ask for: high stakes, innumerable subplots, and rivetingly compelling combatants. Appropriately dubbed Star Power, Mayweather vs. Ortiz will display the past, present, and, potentially, the future of the sport.
Among the many intriguing aspects of the fight are the numerous questions that surround both fighters. Answers will become perfectly clear after the opening bell, but five of the most pressing questions surrounding Saturday's battle are posed here.
#1. Does Ortiz have it in him to be more than just "good"?
Every fighter has a moment of truth, when the point is made clear where he belongs in the thereafter of boxing lore. In the opinion of many, Victor Ortiz already had his trial by fire and failed miserably. His meltdown and subsequent white-flag surrender to Marcos Maidana provided all the information that hardened fight fans needed to know. The diagnostic test was run, and the prognosis was negative for Victor Ortiz.
However, many fight fans were left reconsidering if their verdicts regarding Victor Ortiz were made too hastily after his gutsy performance against the heavily-favored and undefeated Andre Berto. In a fight that exposed plenty of vulnerabilities for "Vicious Victor," the 24-year old Kansas native showed an impressive ability to compensate for his deficiencies with vast reserves of determination and heart. Had he demonstrated the same gritty resolve against Maidana, the boxing world would probably be looking at this weekend's matchup through very different lenses.
To say that Victor Ortiz completely restored himself with the win over Berto might be a bit rash; it might be more accurate to say that the Berto win made him relevant again instead of a written-off afterthought. Case in point, he hit the "Money" Mayweather jackpot. For Ortiz, though, this fight is about more than a payday. Or, at least, it should be.
Ortiz currently finds himself in what could be categorized as the realm of "good" fighters. He's clearly world class, and would likely beat any welterweight on the scene not named Pacquiao or Mayweather. The question is whether he can elevate himself beyond "good" to "great." It's a jump that only a select few fighters in each generation are capable of making, and it's a move that Victor Ortiz has the opportunity to make this Saturday.
Floyd Mayweather is a heckuva litmus test for evaluating a fighter's greatness, but, like it or not, Victor Ortiz must face up to it. Can Ortiz achieve greatness later down the line if he loses Saturday? Perhaps. But it's improbable that the jury of his peers will give him more opportunities to prove himself beyond this.
#2. How will Floyd Mayweather respond to fighting the first prime, young welterweight he's ever faced?
Many fans and fightwriters alike mistakenly believe that all the questions about Saturday's throwdown are hovering around Victor Ortiz. Certainly, most of them are, but "Money" has to change some interrogatives into declaratives as well.
One of the biggest questions is how he will react to facing a young, hungry, primed, and powerful welterweight for the first time. Though he's been brilliant since moving to 147 pounds in 2005, a close look at Floyd's resume reveals some shaky credibility when it comes to opposition. Since settling into the welterweight division, Mayweather has faced a couple blown-up lightweights and junior welterweights (Mitchell, Hatton, and Marquez), extremely limited welterweights (Baldomir), and a couple golden oldies (De La Hoya and Mosley). The closest to being a primed welterweight opponent for Mayweather during that stretch was Zab Judah. Even then, Judah was coming off a loss to the aforementioned Baldomir, and it was at a time of Judah's career when his focus and mental edge were coming apart at the seams. That the fight happened at all was more about boxing business than deciding welterweight supremacy.
On Saturday night, Floyd will be in his most dangerous fight in years, possibly since his closely contested bouts with Jose Luis Castillo in 2002. The difference here? Ortiz is bigger, stronger, and younger than Castillo was, and Mayweather is nine years older than he was back then. Can Floyd continue to make the skill differential more relevant than his disadvantages in size, strength, and youth? Can Floyd match the hunger of a young lion like Ortiz if it comes down to it?
Don't believe the Vegas odds. There is definite drama and competitive suspense here.
#3. How will the big stage affect Victor Ortiz?
Victor Ortiz will find himself in a strange and new situation on Saturday night. He may think that he is ready for it. He may believe that it will not impact him. He may have convinced himself that it will be just like any other fight.
If so, he is wrong.
What he experiences on Saturday night will be unlike anything he's experienced in his career or, for that matter, his life. His every move will be scrutinized, the spotlight will be unrelenting, and the pressure will be suffocating. Along with all this, he will be facing the greatest pure boxer of this generation.
The question is not if Ortiz will be impacted by the big stage, but how he will be impacted. Ortiz has already shown indications that the added attention is flustering him. He stated in frustration that his press conference responses were essentially scripted by his brain trust at Golden Boy. He has expressed his distaste for the media as well as how it characterized him after the Maidana fight, a topic that still seems to irk Ortiz. Hopefully, he can channel those stressors into additional motivation; the great ones always find a way.
For the rarest of fighters, Mayweather among them, the world stage is an opportunity for them to rise to another level. Consider some of Mayweather's best performances: Corrales, Gatti, Hatton, Mosley. For each of these fights, he faced increasingly heightened expectations due to his growing public profile. Instead of freezing up in these situations, Mayweather reveled in them. The spotlight elevates his game to a different stratosphere, which is one of the countless reasons why Mayweather is in a different league than almost any athlete on the planet.
Under the glaring hot lights of the public eye, fighters invariably take one of two routes: they either wilt or flourish. The hype around Ortiz for most of his career made this moment a near inevitability. Golden Boy Promotions openly touted him as the future face of boxing. Ortiz has taken the scenic route, complete with unexpected detours, to get to this point. His chance has finally arrived. The question, now, is what will he do with it?
#4. Did the trouble Mayweather was in against Mosley indicate increased vulnerability?
Let's face it. There is only one undefeated, undisputed champ in boxing: Father Time. He gets the best of everyone eventually (although Bernard Hopkins is proving to be a frustrating foe).
This includes the great Floyd Mayweather. At 34 years of age, Mayweather is almost certainly past his best physical years, although it is definitely premature to say that he is on the slide. The great ones can usually fight on past their physical peaks, drawing more on guile and craft than the athletic gifts of their youth. Mayweather's game relies on timing and rhythm, things that typically don't escape a veteran, so his transition into this stage of his career has been quite smooth.
It is perhaps too early, then, to use the phrase "vulnerable" in reference to Mayweather, but some point to his last fight with Shane Mosley as an indication that the inevitable erosion of the Mayweather empire could already have begun. In the second round of his lopsided decision win over Mosley, two monstrous right hands connected by Mosley that left Mayweather doing the chicken dance. It took some holding, grappling, and scattered spurts of fighting for Mayweather to get through possibly the most perilous round of his career.
Granted, all's well that ends well, and Mayweather went on to dominate Mosley in routinely prodigious fashion, which is what most have rightly chosen to remember. The fact remains, however, that Mayweather was in serious trouble against Mosley, even if only for a few brief moments. Ortiz supporters point to those moments as the strongest case for an upset. The logic is that if a faded, gunshy Mosley can penetrate Mayweather's Fort Knox defense, then the young, ferocious Ortiz should be able to blast through with devastating results.
If, hypothetically, Mayweather is in the beginning stages of a downward slide, he sure isn't helping himself with inactivity. Consider that in the past 45 months, Floyd Mayweather has fought just twice. Though he looked excellent in those showings, conventional wisdom is that layoffs and advanced age do not a sharp fighter make.
So, does the logic add up to an upset? Maybe. Maybe not. But an Ortiz victory would be far from the most surprising outcome in the history of the sport.
#5. Can Victor Ortiz hold it together mentally to pull off the upset?
This is the question that must have even the staunchest of Ortiz supporters losing sleep. In his most difficult moments, Ortiz has panicked under pressure.
In the fight with Marcos Maidana, Ortiz looked like a phenomenon when he dropped Maidana for the first time in the opening round. Then, just as suddenly, Maidana cracked Ortiz with a right hand that sent him crashing to the deck. The fight changed from that moment on. Even though Ortiz managed to floor Maidana two more times and fought effectively, there was a palpable sense that it was Ortiz who was fighting with greater urgency. Ortiz seemed to know that if he didn't get rid of Maidana quickly, he would be in serious trouble. It appeared that Maidana could sense it as well.
It turned out that they were both correct.
By the fifth round, Ortiz was unraveling, and one round later, the outcome was all but a given. It's rare to witness such an utter and complete implosion, but within the rubble left behind were the remains of Ortiz' career and reputation.
In what many believe was his moment of vindication against Andre Berto, Ortiz indeed fought bravely, but also showed the same dangerous tendency to come undone in the midst of struggle. After dominating the first five rounds, a slightly-winded Ortiz allowed Berto to dictate the pace to start the sixth round. A sharp turn of the tide ensued, and Ortiz soon found himself on the canvas courtesy of a huge right hand from Berto. A follow-up assault revealed that Ortiz was nearly out on his feet, and a stoppage seemed imminent until Ortiz landed a miraculous left hand that dumped Berto on the seat of his pants.
There's obviously no way to know, but what would have happened if Ortiz didn't manage to land a huge left of his own to stem the surging Berto tide at the end of the sixth round? Would he have continued to fall apart in a replay of his Maidana defeat? Watch that sixth round again and stop it prior to his knockdown of Berto, and use your boxing senses to predict what would probably have happened next.
Not a pretty thought, huh?
The good news for Ortiz is that he doesn't figure to experience the same type of pressure-cooker slugfest against the contact-conscious Mayweather, but he will probably encounter the most frustrating experience of his boxing life. How will he handle swinging at shadows as Mayweather slips and slides away from his punches? How will be react to taking pinpoint counterpunches straight in the mush when "Money" makes him miss? Will he stick to the gameplan, or will he resort to the same temperament that cost him so dearly in the past? Or can he calm himself and continue to press on in spite of difficulty?
Mayweather has managed to make Hall-of-Fame-caliber fighters look foolish and hesitant in their frustrations. The pattern for most Mayweather fights is that he asserts his dominance in greater measure as the bouts progress and his opponents get more and more hopelessly confused. Unfortunately for supporters of Ortiz, he is known as a fighter who tends to fade and get less effective as the rounds go on.
For Ortiz' training camp, the need for mental preparation almost seems more important than the physical. His physical tools are far readier for Mayweather than his psyche seems to be. It's possible that the win over Berto exorcised the demons that haunted Ortiz. He needs to hope that it did.
Boxing is a sport in which too few questions ever get definitive answers. However, should Saturday night's fight provide any truly conclusive result, each of these questions should also be resolved, settled by means only a prizefight can provide. Regardless of the outcome, here's to hoping that the actual fight between Mayweather and Ortiz manages to surpass the considerable rhetoric and hype. If it does, we're in for something spectacular.
Wow! I'm worry about Vicious Victor O's mentally condition, then the Vegas's judges seeing and mindset condition. They are use to Money May winning, so they may assume that he had a bad night and give him the benefit of the doubt of a pseudowin. In other words, VVO can expect to be whup silly if Money May gets into his head or ROBBED by mentally-blind a$$ judges! Holla!
Uh. When did Ortiz start to wilt n the Bertolucci fight?
He didn't. He got off the deck and collected himself and
Came out determined every round.
What is he talking about ?
Great perspective Woodsy... been checking out some of your tweets on ESPN boxing, some interesting resources you have... This article sums up the situation better than most, either Mayweather goes up in Ortiz's grille and feeds him sum of that "superchicken"... or Ortiz will expose any hidden degeneration and capitolize on the opportunity with wrecker-ball hooks and uppercuts... either way it's compelling.
I remember listening to the radio when Ali fought Frazier the first time... I was just a kid but I was old enough to view Ali as much more than just a fighter,.. he was personification of our potential as overcomers...listening to the fight being called and hearing Ali go down in defeat to Frazier was heart breaking... Then Ali took the mike... with a pinch of humility he gave Frazier what he always wanted to hear... respect and credit for being the better man that night... then he half joking eased everyones fight by saying,.. (paraphrasing) Hey... it's only one fight... I'm fine, I'm not hurt and I'll be back better than ever... you could hear the smile in his voice.
at that moment he was bigger in my eyes than he was before the fight... because he took his whopping like a man,.. no excuses...
That's the way I feel about this fight... either man can win,.. to the "victor" goes the spoils.. as long as they both give their best... it's only boxing... may the best man win... as long as both boxers give their best,...... that's all I can hope for. (especially for $54.95) wouldn't miss it if the cost was twice as much... I'm still on my birthday vacation (born on 9/11) see ya after the fight.
Brownsugar, nicely done as always! Michael Woods is the man! The TSS Champion Emeritus deserves a shout out.
I'm psyched for this one. Floyd's been around since the late 90's, the Clinton years (since he dethroned the late, great gentleman Genaro Hernandez) and Victor Ortiz represents a real, violent risk, in my opinion. Ironically, Floyd and the Klitschkos were emerging at the same time (Ks overseas, but Olympics together and sheer dominance all), which is pretty remarkable, and they all receive such savage criticism. Crazy.
I think Floyd prevails, but will get lumped up more than he's ever been. I predict a bruising war. Ready for this one big-time.
while everyone awaits floyd to start making big fights with pac, cotto, clottey, margarito, williams, martinez he picks out ortiz... do we even need slick intellectual analysis on a mere inglorious cherry picked fight? ill pass.
Great piece Mike ! I think whats compelling about this fight is Floyds assertion that he will be coming forward and will not backpedal. To some this spells trouble for Floyd and may well be an advantage for Ortiz. I personally think an aggressive Mayweather is Ortizs wost nightmare. Mayweather is one of the best I have seen at fighting in the pocket and he is supremely confident in his ability to inflict damage up close. Better yet - he now seems to relish fighting up close. I have always thought that Mayweather fights better when he is not on his toes unlike De La Hoya who always fought better when he was on his toes. Ortiz reminds me of of Fernando Vargas a lot in terms of style and temprament. They have the same boxer puncher style. If Ortiz fights an intelligent fight I do see him having some success and he will land shots if he back Floyd up. However, Floyds timing is still the best in the business. You see that routine he does with uncle Roger where he touches the pads while Roger moves around in circles ? Thats Floyds secret to maintaining his timing. Roger understands Floyds rhythm best. I am looking forward to this. I wonder what Oscar will have to say if Ortiz loses ? That man flip flops like a whale!!
@michaelabii, losing is a part of boxing and life. Big Money O is not a flip flopper. He is a legit gamers who has gamed and know da game. He's been a winner because he has taken risks and been himself. Fence sitters are the only losers in life. They are so frighten about losing that they also never win and are comfortable with it. What a shame. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

It would be so bittersweet to grow old in Amsterdam. The marvelous architecture, the bicycle-borne culture, the underlay of decadence, carefully regulated and governed. On a sweet, rainy Sunday morning, quiet carillons compete with a dove's mournful song and the happy splash of ducks landing in the canal. I could live here. I could grow old and die here, happily, quietly, sipping coffee, watching a leggy young woman pedaling past on her way to work, determined, a part of the traffic, not realizing how special this place is.
However, for now, Amsterdam is a point on the way. I am sailing on the Celebrity Constellation, bound out of the Zuider Zee for the Baltic. For the next 12 nights, I will be on a journey of discovery, to learn about the nations of the Viking Sea. For so many of the Baltic peoples, food dictated their culture. I want to know why they eat the foods that they eat. How did their cuisine determine their history and regional politics?
Because the Celebrity cruise ships focus on their cuisine, sailing on the Constellation is an ideal way for a devout foodie to sample this region's culinary story. The Celebrity itinerary will take me from Holland to Germany, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, and Denmark—a full sweep of the Baltic's shores. Each port call will be an opportunity to learn about regional staples and delicacies, visit the markets, and try the local specialties. The Constellation's galley also offers dishes from each port, adding to the menu's spectrum.
Join me aboard the Celebrity Constellation for the next several posts. Travel with me as I dine my way through the Baltic.

How to Calculate Refund Based on Gross Salary
Original post by Stephanie Ellen of Demand Media
When you reach tax time, you can determine how much of a tax refund to expect before you tackle the sometimes lengthy yearly tax return. If you want an accurate figure for your refund, you can always use your tax software or fill out your tax form. However, you can get a very good estimate of your expected refund based on your gross salary using the IRS tax tables.
Step 1
Gather your information. In order to figure out your refund, you'll need your W2 for the tax year.
Step 2
Download a copy of the IRS Tax Table for the current year. You can find the current tax table on the IRS website by typing "tax table 20xx" into the search text box at the top right of the IRS home page, where "20xx" is the actual year you want the tax table for.
Step 3
Look up how much tax you owe -- based on your gross salary for the year -- in the tax table. Your gross salary can be found in box 1 of your W-2. In order to find the right column in the tax table, you will also need to know your filing status. The five filing statuses are single, head of household, married filing jointly, married filing separately and qualifying widower with dependent child.
Step 4
Deduct how much tax you owe from how much you actually paid in taxes. How much Federal tax you paid can be found in box 2 of your W-2. For example, if box 2 shows $6,000 paid and the tax table shows that you owe $5,000 in taxes as a single person earning $35,250, then you can expect a refund of $1,000.

Despite having to deal with a recent losing streak, fans of the Iowa men's basketball program had something to smile about last weekend when a pair of recruits gave their verbal commitments to the Hawkeye hoops program.
Junior college point guard Trey Dickerson visited the Iowa campus last weekend and sat in on the Hawkeyes' game with Illinois on Saturday night. And despite the loss at the buzzer, Dickerson gave his pledge shortly after the defeat to the Iowa coaching staff.
Sunday, the Hawkeyes got an early jump on the 2015 recruiting class when Chicago, Ill., native Brandon Hutton said yes to the program.
Dickerson is ranked as the top point guard in the junior college ranks and the 10th best player overall. The 6-foot guard from Williston State also fielded offers from Arkansas, Nebraska, Washington, Washington State, UAB, Boise State and Western Kentucky.
Hutton chose the Hawkeyes over offers from Wisconsin, Loyola and Illinois State and also field some interest from West Virginia.
The Badgers were Hutton's first major Division I offer but the Hawkeyes wound up winning the services of the 6-foot-6 small forward, who hails from Chicago, Illinois, and attended De La Salle Institute.
Dickerson committed to Iowa via his Twitter account late Saturday. Dutton's, a three-star small forward, verbal pledge was reported by HawkeyeInsider's Robe Howe.
