Emmet is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Emmet was voiced by Eugene Jeter Junior.
Emmet is a member of the Seville Boulevard Families, an ally of the Grove Street Families. Emmet runs a small-time gun dealership in Willowfield, Los Santos although he is unable to compete with Ammu-Nation, who own a store opposite. Emmet, who has been providing guns for over thirty years, supplies not only the Seville Boulevard Families but the Temple Drive Families and Grove Street Families also.
Emmet is known to the Johnson Family (in particular Carl and Sweet) along with Big Smoke and Ryder. However, they stopped buying guns from Emmet as his stock was out of date. Emmet, during the mission Nines and AKs, mistakes Carl for his deceased younger brother Brian. Emmet also appears to have known Beverly Johnson (Carl's mother) and says that he is sorry about her death and that he knows that she would be proud of him (Carl).
Emmet provides basic target practice for Carl and Big Smoke with old pistols he had in storage. The targets being glass beer bottles and an old car. However, Emmet reminds them to not say where they got the guns from, suggesting he does not have a licence to sell guns: "But remember this, you didn't get 'em from me". Emmet leaves a pistol in the yard he runs his business from for Carl to pick up, which is free for Carl.

Electic Boulevard is a chain of electronics stores in Vice City in 1984, the setting of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The chain has stores located in Vice Point, Ocean Beach, Little Havana and Downtown. It is inaccessible to the player. The name is based off the song Electric Avenue by Eddy Grant, which was made a year before the events of this game.

A coroner hears she was seen to fall from a multi-storey car park after posting desperate messages on Facebook the night before.
12:51, UK, Friday 19 April 2013
A member of the public witnessed the moment a heavily pregnant Fiona Anderson jumped from a multi-storey car park in Lowestoft, a coroner has been told.
The 23-year-old was seen to fall from the top floor on Monday morning and was pronounced dead at 8.35am.
Her unborn daughter, due in June, was said to have died the moment Ms Anderson sustained her injuries.
During the opening of the inquest, it was also revealed that the bodies of her three children, Levina, Addy and Kyden McLelland, aged three, two and 11 months were later found by police in the main bedroom of their flat in the seaside town.
Their deaths were confirmed at 11.27am.
Ms Anderson had posted desperate messages on Facebook late the night before she died, talking about a recent break-up with the children's father, Craig McLelland.
Police have released CCTV images showing Ms Anderson a few hours later walking around Lowestoft from 6.15am before heading to the car park.
She died of severe head injuries but further tests are needed to ascertain how the children were killed.
Adjourning the case in Ipswich, coroner Dr Peter Deane, said: "I wish to offer my thoughts and condolences to the family members and all those... who have been touched by these awful and tragic deaths."

Rutland man guilty of setting fires in national forestNovember 15,2013
Local man admits
starting forest fires
A Rutland man has pleaded guilty to starting fires on Green Mountain National Forest land.
Jack P. Dickson pleaded guilty Wednesday in U.S. District Court to three federal misdemeanor charges of setting a fire on national land without authority, leaving a fire without completely extinguishing it and damaging government property.
As part of a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Dickson was fined $500 for each offense. However, as part of the plea deal, the government will suspend the fines on the condition that Dickson isnt charged again with a federal, state or local crime during his two-year probation.
U.S. Forest Service agents and the Vermont State Police fire investigation unit arrested Dickson after an investigation into a 6-acre wildfire that burned a section of woodland in Mount Holly in March 2012.MORE IN This Just In

Eike Batista has sweeter barrels than Petrobras
Barrels of fun
Shares of OGX the flagship of Brazil's richest man value its shallow water oil reserves at roughly $5 a barrel. That looks a bargain against the $8.51 the government is extracting from Petrobras for deepwater crude. It's no wonder Chinese bidders are sniffing around.

Beautifully located along the 3000ft high reaching Slieve Mish Mountains and surrounded by some of the best sandy beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, Tralee is the vibrant centre of County Kerry at Ireland's scenic south west coast. Complementary to the beauty of the landscape, the town is world-famous for the "Rose of Tralee" - one of the country's biggest festivals.
The climate of Kerry is very mild all year round thanks to the gulfstream (a warm ocean current flowing nearby), which makes Tralee and its spectacular environment a hot spot for tourism and boosts the local economy.
Easily reachable tourist features like the famous Iveragh- ("Ring of Kerry") and the Dingle-Peninsulas as well as the nearby Killarney National Park make the town an ideal base for your stay in Kerry.
And with it's eighthundred years of history Tralee itself has a lot to offer, too.
An interesting and distinctive mix of historic and modern architecture, the lively cultural scene and not least the kind and hospitable people of Kerry are more than enough reason for a journey to Tralee - the capital of The Kindom!

Zangetsu shikai (post Fullbring) by Dark-CapricornWatch
©2012-2016 Dark-Capricorn
This is my fifth version of Zangetsu that I had with me at Otakon 2012.
I started with a pine board. It was a composite board, with pieces glued together the way a cutting boars is assembled. I couldn't find a solid plank that was 6 feet long. I drew the outline (handle to blade tip) and cut it out with an electric saw. Then I sanded the CRAP out of it. I used a rasp, a metal file and sandpaper to bevel the blade edge. I used PVC parts and a length of PVC tube to make the handle. The tang barely fit into the pipe and I had to sand it down a few times before it fit. Its so tight I didn't even need glue or anything. I used drywall spackle (not ideal but I already had it) to fill in the ends of the pipe so it looked smooth and solid. I sunk a length of chain into the end of the handle with glue. I bought ribbon and wrapped the handle, then painted the blade. In hindsight, I wish I had NOT used the pvc for the handle and had figured out how to make it round another way. The handle is larger than my previous shikai, and its kind of a pain to carry around. Most of that is because the weight of the blade, but with it being wood I don't have to worry about it getting really banged up.
did you make that? if so, could you tell me how? cause i want to make one, and im not sure how exactly i would do that...
His shikai changed after the Fullbring arc when he regained his powers. Its a more "finished" looking sword that's a bit larger.
post fullbring?? what do you mean by that..
Thank you! It's always fun making them and taking it out to play!
youre lucky to have that sword
oooo neat *takes pic*
Do want......
Do want......
cool wish someone could make zanpaktuos lol
Thank you!
wow!!!!! awesome O_______O

Walnut Creek, Calif. - Sophomore midfielder Victor Munoz has been named the Bank of the West Pac-12 Player of the Week for the week of Oct. 4-10, as announced by Commissioner Larry Scott today.
The sophomore transfer from Madrid, Spain helped the Bruins improve to 4-0 in Pac-12 play with victories over Washington and Oregon State. In Friday's 4-1 win over the Huskies, Munoz played just 21 minutes, but recorded an assist on Victor Chavez's goal in the 88th minute. In Sunday's match against Oregon State, Munoz tallied one goal and one assist in 18 minutes of play. Munoz first set up Kelyn Rowe's game-tying goal in the 43rd minute before scoring the game-winning goal with 30 seconds left on the clock to give the Bruins the 2-1 win. He now has one goal and five assists on the season.
This is Victor's first Pac-12 weekly honor and UCLA's 43rd all-time Pac-12 Player of the Week.
The Bruins will face the No. 22/24 San Diego State Aztecs on Sunday, Oct. 16 at 5 pm out at Drake Stadium.

Palo Alto, Calif. - The Arizona women's tennis team (5-11) competed at No. 1 Stanford (20-0) this afternoon. Arizona was unable to win any matches as Stanford came away with all three doubles matches, as well as all six singles matches. This gave Arizona its first 7-0 loss of the season.
In doubles action, Arizona lost on all three courts. The No. 9 ranked team of juniors Maja Mlakar and Dianne Hollands fell to the No. 1 ranked team of Lauren Barnikow and Erin Burdette, 8-2. Freshman Kasia Jakowlew and senior Debbie Larocque lost their match, 8-3. The closest match in doubles came on court three where junior Kelly Perry and freshman Jessie Rochefort were defeated, 8-4.
Later in the afternoon in singles play junior Dianne Hollands took on Stanford's Amber Liu. Hollands forced the first set into a tiebreak before losing in two sets, 7-6(5), 6-2. Junior Maja Mlakar also played in a tiebreak to decide the first set. She eventually fell to Stanford's Alice Barnes, 7-6(2), 6-2. The only Wildcat to win a set was junior Kelly Perry. Perry played in the fourth position and won her first set 6-3. Her opponent, Lauren Barnikow, came back to win the second set and eventually the match.

The March Madness Women's NCAA brackets are set, and there are two undefeated women's teams at number one. On March 18, ESPN reported via ABC News that Notre Dame and UConn had been placed on top of their respective brackets, and they could meet in the championship game in Tennessee on April 8. However, they will have to get through several rounds to get there, and the competition will be tough.
Teams like Stanford and Nebraska could surprise people and come out on top. They don't have undefeated records like UConn and Notre Dame though. Stanford has a record of 29 wins with three losses. Notre Dame is hosting a regional conference at South Bend, but they will start off March Madness on the road.
After the first round, Notre Dame is likely to play Vanderbilt, who is ranked eighth, or ASU, who is ranked ninth. As for UConn, they are set to meet either Duke or Nebraska after the first round, and both are ranked in the top five. If both of these teams can remain undefeated throughout March Madness, they will meet in the end.
Kayla McBride, a guard for Notre Dame, said the following about being undefeated alongside UConn, according to ABC News on Thursday:
I think we're always going to be the underdog when it comes to Connecticut. They're such a great powerhouse and have such a great program over there. But I think it's just a bit of extra motivation.
The brackets in this year's March Madness are filled with talented teams and players, but the teams need to make it through to the end. What do you think? Who do you like going into this tournament? Do you think Notre Dame will meet UConn in the big championship game?

Nawal al Zoghbi hits back at media slurs
After three years in the wilderness, Nawal al Zoghbi was this week honored at the Murex D'Or Awards in Lebanon as 'Best Lebanese Star'. The singer revealed that the feud between her management and the awards ceremony organizers was finally over.
Nawal has previously criticized organizers of Lebanese music festivals for keeping her name out of the list of nominees but stressed that this award was not because of the management reconcilliation. She claimed is was solely due to the success of latest album 'Ma'rafshi Leah' (I Don't Know Why).
The star, who makes frequent appearances in the tabloids, said she was turning over a new leaf with the media and would only start arguments with newspapers that repeatedly published untrue rumors about her. According to MBC.net, Nawal is currently preparing for a new single and music video but hasn't yet decided on a director.

There's a lot of talk these days about "uncertainty." And frankly, it's getting a little old.
The fiscal cliff remains unresolved — but now that Obama has been re-elected, it seems had to believe some kind of deal won't get done. Europe's a mess, but come on — Greece has been rioting since late 2008. And Iran is driving the Middle East to the brink of war, but that hasn't been news for decades.
Isn't uncertainty the very nature of the human condition? As a matter of fact, isn't uncertainty the thing that drives small-cap stocks, startups and uber capitalists — cast in romantic phrasings like "creative destruction" or "disruption?"
The problem these days isn't a lack of security in the future, but a decided lack in innovation. As a result, there are no good ideas to spend any money on.
Lots of Cash, Nothing to Buy
Some insist that corporations aren't in a position to be anything but defensive right now. They have to be focused on efficiency rather than growth in a challenging economic environment.
Uh … then what explains this list of frenzied, big-ticket buyouts immediately after the financial crisis and resulting crash in equity prices?
- In January 2009, Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) announced a mega-merger with Wyeth for $68 billion. Soon after, in March 2009 rival Merck (NYSE:MRK) snapped up Schering-Plough for $41 billion. The moves were meant to tap into the drug pipelines of these respective companies and offset revenue set to disappear from patent expirations.
- In November 2009, Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A, BRK.B) burned $26 billion on Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad.
- In December 2009, Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) dropped $41 billion to acquire natural gas giant XTO and diversify its operations in the ultimate hedge against crude oil.
It seems uncertainty actually was a good thing, in a way, because it depressed asset prices and perhaps made these deals more practical than they would have been a few years prior. The problem now is that the logical or attractive companies have already been bought, leaving little left on the shelves worth buying.
That doesn't stop some companies from impulse buys. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) dropped almost $8 billion for Skype in 2011 … but it has few other uses for its foreign cash hoard, anyway, so why not spend those disposable dollars? Just don't act like that will turn Microsoft around in a post-PC age.
In 2012, the cupboards are bare for big deals that actually could bear fruit.
Time to Invest in Yourself, Corporate America
If companies could spend a huge amount of cash like that so soon after the downturn, clearly it's not impossible for big stocks to part with big bucks. So if there's a lack of options right now, why not invest in yourself?
Some companies are doing exactly that. The "Global Innovation 1,000" report from Booz & Co. highlights the companies spending the most on research and development. The latest figures are from 2011, and Toyota (NYSE:TM) topped the list with some $10 billion.
But U.S. firms are painfully lacking in the rankings.
- America's General Motors (NYSE:GM) lags Toyota by almost $2 billion in research spending.
- U.S. chipmaker Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) is behind Korea's Samsung.
- Pfizer is significantly behind Swiss pharma stocks Novartis (NYSE:NVS) and Roche (PINK:RHHBY) both in nominal dollars and in the percentage of revenue spent on R&D.
It's worth noting that, according to perceptions, the three biggest global "innovators" are, in order, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and 3M (NYSE:MMM). But between the three of them, they spent roughly $9.2 billion total in 2011 research — and that raises questions about whether their rock-star status is based on past success or true innovation happening right now.
The lack of big projects, big expansions or stunning new products (no, a fifth-generation iPhone doesn't count as "new") might be a sign that big stocks are simply watching and waiting rather than truly looking for the next big thing.
Breaking the Cycle
It's cause and effect — a lack of business spending means a lack of jobs and a lack of consumer power. And most economists and politicians would assert that the cycle works both ways.
But theoretically, shouldn't the reverse also be true — that consumers spending more will enrich businesses, who continue to grow and hire and spend? What happens when corporations break the deal; when consumers spend but businesses don't?
That might be part of the problem we are seeing right now.
After all, businesses have some $1.9 trillion in the bank just sitting idle — or if you want to get creative with accounting, perhaps as much as $5 trillion in cashcounting other assets and overseas money.
After all, CEOs are darkly pessimistic while consumers are upbeat.
After all, America is stuck in seeking "efficiency" through cutting and not "empowerment" through big ideas, as a New York Times column puts it.
As to how we break this cycle and enrich both sides instead of just one … that's anybody's guess.
So if you're a consumer wondering about the best investments right now, it might be worth looking inwardly instead. There's a decided lack of innovation and opportunity in corporate America right now, so invest in yourself — start your own business, or noodle away on what could be the world's next big idea.
Because based on the last few years and the current data, if you're looking to corporate America for a bright idea that will spark to kickstart economic growth … well, you might be waiting quite a long time.

good players that work with MediaMonkey
After much struggle and much help on iAudiophile, I have finally managed to create playlists in MediaMonkey and export them to a Cowon J3 (using a patch at http://solair.eunet.rs/~zvezdand/Exp...orSubNodes.htm, in case you're wondering). I need to export the same playlists (which will change weekly) to at least three other players. I can't afford three more Cowons. What I've been using until I got the J3 is Zen Creative Micros. I don't think there's any way of exporting a MediaMonkey playlist to the Zens (what I've done so far is manually duplicate the MediaMonkey list in the Creative software - very laborious), so what I'm looking for is another player that I can just send the playlists to right out of MediaMonkey. The Zens are getting old and finicky anyway, so replacements are in order.
Size: 16 Mb is fine.
Sound quality: I know it won't be as good as the Cowon, but pretty good would be nice.
Price - I paid Cdn$220 for the J3; I wouldn't want to pay more than half that (each) for the new ones.
Easy to use: at least moderately, as I have to teach five or six other people how to use these players.
Purpose: I only use these players to play music mp3s; don't need video or anything else.
BTW, some people will wonder why I'm using MediaMonkey at all. That's because it's the only program I could find that will let me sort my music files the way I need them.
Many thanks!

There's people going to laugh at this but the first thing that comes to my mind is to get a few Sandisk players with the smallest capacity possible, stick a 16 GB card in them and sync your playlist only to the card. Trying to sync the internal and external memories and make playlists with any software I know would be tough. I've never found MM to be up to the task but I gave up fairly easy. For my needs simple drag and drop was just easier and finding a way to sync it all wasn't worth the effort for me.
I didn't do much reading in link to the MM script you linked. Does using that script allow you to make and sync .m3u playlists on a J3 that include the internal and external memories? If so, something like a Clip+ or Clip Zip would work even better for you. You wouldn't use the use of the internal memory for syncing.
The other possibility that comes to mind is a 16 GB Sony E series player if they're available to you. You used the Canadian symbol for money and I'm not sure what's available there now.
My older NWZ E345 works very well with any sync software and the person that had it before me used MM exclusively. She didn't need anything fancy. She needed just wanted sync her new music and podcasts and said it the easiest setup she ever tried for that.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Thank you very much for your reply, skip252. I will investigate the Sandisks and Sonys.
The script I mentioned doesn't allow using internal and external memory at the same time, as far as I know. What it is meant to do - and, fortunately, does - is let you make real m3u playlists. Apparently this functionality was built into MM version 3, but in 4 (the current version), they've taken that away (!).
Thanks again!
It's interestng, as I too am not completely comfortable with MM either. I used it to retreive all my music that had been hoovered up by iTunes when my daughter helped herself!
In reality, I find WMP much simpler to use, but I suspect I am stuck with MM now. I feel that it is a program designed to do everything, but being a bit of a simpleton, and not a purist, I don't want to be able to manipulate my tracks, rate them, score them or rename them! However, I am currently recording all my vinyl so MM is probably the best way of doing this (using Audacity - highly recommend it!)
Moan over...........

ZF-11755: Zend_Date / Zend_Locale_Format wrong interpretation of date string
From twitter i get the following date string: Tue Sep 20 11:26:03 +0000 2011 Trying to set it like this: $string = 'Tue Sep 20 11:26:03 +0000 2011'; $format = 'EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss ZZ YYYY'; $date = new Zend_Date(); $date->set($string, $format);
Zend_Date successfully parses the timezone out of the string with: getTimezoneFromString.
Later in Zend_Locale_Format::_parseDate the code does not recognize the included ZZ within the date_format string: It only increases $cnt if it finds one of the predefined cases, but not if there is any other value between. So the wrong value is returned from $splitted in line 912.
It does not parse the date correctly even if i tell the format of the date it receives.

In between addressing the physical strains of pregnancy and anticipating the needs of your soon-to-be-born baby, there's probably hardly any room in your mind for taking care of your skin. But, if you're not careful, some of the skin changes you'll go through while you're expecting—stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and blemish marks—may actually persist long after you give birth. Worse, some of your current skin care ingredients may actually be harmful for the baby. To avoid putting both your skin health and your baby in danger, here are the top 3 skin care products you need to stock up on as soon as you find out you're pregnant.
- A Rich Moisturizer - One of the most common side effects of pregnancy is stretch marks, but most pregnant women don't do something about this until they see the telltale signs. Usually by then, it's a lot harder to treat. So to make sure you don't get them in the first place, start slathering your skin with thick moisturizers even before your baby bump shows. Ideally, look for products rich in ingredients like vitamin E, shea and cocoa butters. "Hydration is key," says dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldfaden. "Products containing vitamin E and collagen-elastin are best." For stubborn marks that won't disappear after child birth, dermatologist Dr. Marina Peredo offers VBeam Laser Treatment, a pulsed dye laser that safely destroys skin impurities without furthering damage.
- A Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen - Another common skin issue you need to watch out for is melasma or "the mask of pregnancy," a skin condition caused by the overproduction of a melanocyte-stimulating hormone, and is characterized by dark splotches on the forehead, upper lip and cheeks. Dr. Goldfaden and Dr. Peredo both recommend staying out of the sun, but if that's not an option, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and limit sun exposure during the peak times of the day. "Although these effects usually aren't permanent, carry a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF with you and reapply throughout the day for optimal protection," says Dr. Peredo.
- A Lactic Acid-Based Exfoliant - Due to fluctuating estrogen levels, some women will also develop acne on the face, neck, chest and back during the first three months of pregnancy. But beware, most acne medications, chemical exfoliants and peels may be unsafe to use during pregnancy. "Most acne medications like Retin-A and benzoyl peroxide are unsafe to use during pregnancy, so alternative options have to be used," notes Dr. Peredo. Instead, she suggests looking for alternatives that contain milder ingredients like sulfur or lactic acid, as these are best for sensitive skin.

BOSTON, Mass – James Reed reeled in another first place finish as his performance in the 60-meter hurdles highlighted a day for several Black Bears at the John Thomas Terrier Invitational in Boston, Mass., on Saturday. Reed was one of three members of the men's track and field team to take part in the event.
Reed got revenge in the finals as he crossed the finish line first in the event as he finished in eight seconds flat while Queen finished with a mark of 8.02 seconds. Reed's time was .03 seconds shy of the school record he set last season.
Justin Gagne was also back in action in the shot put as he finished sixth in the event. His longest throw was 16.52 meters (54-02.50). Jeffery Errol of Monmouth took top honors in the event as he registered a final mark of 18.02m (59-01.50).
Gagne wasn't the only throws entrant for Maine as Wilson Adams got into the action in the weight throw. Like Gagne in the shot put, Adams took sixth overall with a mark of 18.20, (59-08.50). Morgan State's Emmanuel Stewart was the top-athlete in the event as he threw for a distance of 18.82m (61-09.00) to take first overall. Gagne also competed in the event and took 16th (15.41m, 50-06.75).
Maine track and field now prepares for its first meet in the brand new New Balance Track and Field facility at the Maine field house. The Black Bears will host Holy Cross on Feb. 1, 2014 beginning at 11 a.m.

WADSWORTH — The Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Medina County OVI Task Force will conduct a sobriety checkpoint Saturday, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., on High Street (state Route 94), south of the Interstate 76 interchange.
The OVI checkpoint, funded by federal grant funds, is planned to deter and intercept impaired drivers.
The checkpoint will be held in conjunction with nearby "saturation patrols" to aggressively combat alcohol-related injury and fatal crashes, Wadsworth police Lt. Robert Wyrick said.
This is the seventh OVI checkpoint this year in Medina County.
Under federal law, police are required to announce checkpoints to avoid violating the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unlawful search and seizure.

During a record drought (2006) in southwest Kansas, USA, we assessed groundwater dynamics in a shallow, unconfined aquifer, along with plant water sources and physiological responses of the invasive riparian shrub Tamarix ramosissima. In early May, diel water table fluctuations indicated evapotranspirative consumption of groundwater by vegetation. During the summer drought, the water table elevation dropped past the lowest position previously recorded. Concurrent with this drop, water table fluctuations abruptly diminished at all wells at which they had previously been observed despite increasing evapotranspirative demand. Following reductions in groundwater fluctuations, volumetric water content declined corresponding to the well-specific depths of the capillary fringe in early May, suggesting a switch from primary dependence on groundwater to vadose-zone water. In at least one well, the fluctuations appear to re-intensify in August, suggesting increased groundwater uptake by Tamarix or other non-senesced species from a deeper water table later in the growing season. Our data suggest that Tamarix can rapidly shift water sources in response to declines in the water table. The use of multiple water sources by Tamarix minimized leaf-level water stress during drought periods. This study illustrates the importance of the previous hydrologic conditions experienced by site vegetation for controlling root establishment at depth and demonstrates the utility of data from high-frequency hydrologic monitoring in the interpretation of plant water sources using isotopic methods.

Memory Lane, America's most popular new theme park, promises to provide its guests with "golden memories." Choose any week -- from 1950 to the present -- and Memory Lane will recreate it for you in amazing detail: the foods, the clothes, the TV shows, even the schools. You will soon forget about the present and start living in the past.
But is that a good idea?
Alice hopes Memory Lane will provide a week of personal healing and family bonding. Instead, Alice and her cousins Patrick and TJ find themselves struggling with a pair of psychotic bullies, and with the pain of young love, and with a shocking family secret that was, perhaps, better left buried in the past.

Congressman Rob Bishop, meanwhile, roundly defeated his opponent, David Yu-Lin Chiu, for the GOP nod in the 1st Congressional District with over 80 percent of the delegate vote.
Utah 26th Dist. Sen. Kevin Van Tassell (R-Vernal), 53rd Dist. Rep. Melvin Brown (R-Coalville) and 54th Dist. Rep. Kraig Powell all won their nominations Saturday as well.
Speakers included the state's two Republican senators, Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee, as well as Gov. Gary Herbert, Attorney General Sean Reyes and Rebecca Lockhart, speaker of the Utah House of Representatives.
Common themes included limiting the role of the federal government in the affairs of Utah, promoting economic growth through the private sector, transferring control of federal lands in the state to Utah and defending traditional marriage.
Herbert described Utah as the "brightest star on the American flag," citing the state's 4.1 unemployment rate, 2.6 points below the national figure, and its welcoming environment for businesses. The state's corporate tax rate has not been raised in 15 years, he said.
"We believe in keeping government off your backs and out of your wallet," Herbert said. "Our job growth is second best in the U.S. The Utah model is the Founding Fathers' model as envisioned in the Constitution.
Before delegates in the 1st Congressional District voted, Bishop gave an emphatic speech to a very receptive audience.
"My goal is to let you know that I still support the same thing that I did when I was first elected - I want to be able to say that I did less to control your life than I did when I first went to Congress," Bishop said.
Bishop added that Utah is a "public lands state" and he wants to make sure that Utah has control over how those lands are used. He also pressed the importance of maintaining strong military funding, citing his own work to make Hill Air Force Base more secure.
"I will also use my position on the [House] Armed Services Committee to push back against the anti-military budget that this administration has put forward and that has put this country at risk," Bishop said.
Republican delegates also approved three non-binding resolutions at the convention: (1) defending the party's constitutional right of association, (2) supporting Western states taking back public lands and (3) promoting partisan school board elections.
The first resolution was proposed in response to the State Legislature's recent passage of SB54, also known as the Count My Vote "compromise bill" which will require political parties to allow candidates to obtain signatures to get on a primary ballot as opposed to going through the caucus and convention process. It affirms the Utah GOP's right to "determine how [its] party selects its nominees."
The public lands resolution calls upon the federal government to honor the statehood promises made to transfer title of public lands back to states east of Colorado. It also asks state and national representatives to "exert their utmost power and influence" to spur the "imminent transfer" of these lands.
Summit County Republican Party Chair Tal Adair said he is in favor of this resolution.
"We can run our state better than anybody. We have a lot of public lands owned by the federal government that we could use to help our tax base," Adair said. "We are good stewards of the land - we understand it, we understand natural resources and manage them well."
The partisan school board resolution, however, Adair was uncertain about. He said more research needs to be done on the issue but spoke in favor of how school board elections work now.
Convention results:
1st Congressional District Rob Bishop (incumbent) - 81 percent David Yu-Lin Chiu - 19 percent

Personal health practices around physical activity ...
|Personal health practices around physical activity as perceived by aboriginal children of Prince Edward Island

|Journal of Aboriginal Health
|Start page

|During the past decade,there have been several health surveys involving Canada?s Aboriginal people.In many of these studies,the Aboriginal population of Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) has not been adequately represented.Given the lack of information regarding the health status of this population,the Abegweit and Lennox Island First Nations bands collaborated with the University of Prince Edward Island?s Faculty of Education,School of Nursing,and Department of Family and Nutritional Sciences to gain a more comprehensive profile of the perceptions,health behaviours and needs of Aboriginal children living on reserve in both of these Island communities. The study focused primarily on three of the determinants of health:early childhood development,education,and personal health practices and coping.Individuals from the two P.E.I.communities were interviewed,including 18 children in the 6-8 year age group,22 children in the 9-12 year age group,28 youth in the 13-18 year age group,27 parents or caregivers,and 6 pregnant mothers.This research is important as there is little,if any,research undertaken with the Mi?kmaq communities of P.E.I.Unique features of this study are the inclusion of children as informants,the use of a multidisciplinary team and the active involvement of the Mi?kmaq community in all stages of the project. The purpose of this article is to disseminate some of the personal health practices around physical activity as perceived by the Aboriginal children and to identify current health behaviours and/or needs of active,healthy lifestyles.Therefore,only the results focusing on these children?s perceptions of their health,and their perceptions and behaviours about physical activities,will be discussed.

Silberne Kapelle : Michelin's recommendations
The Silver Chapel was built by Ferdinand II, Governor of Tyrol, in the late 16C, in order that he might rest beside his wife. It owes its name to the silver Madonna which sits imposingly on the wood altarpiece, surrounded by the symbols of the Litanies. On the left, lies the recumbent figure of Philippine Welser, Ferdinand's beloved, commoner wife. His figure lies next to hers. Both are the work of the Flemish master Alexandre Colin, who also produced part of Maximilian's Mausoleum.

You are educated in a field of study and can answer both simple and complex questions. Like the Craft, Perform, and Profession skills, Knowledge actually encompasses a number of different specialties.
Many of the Knowledge skills have specific uses as noted on Table: Knowledge Skill DC's.
Below are listed typical fields of study.
Common Uses
General Knowledge
Answering a question within your field of study has a DC of 10 (for really easy questions), 15 (for basic questions), or 20 to 30 (for really tough questions).
Monster Lore
You can use this skill to identify monsters and their special powers or vulnerabilities. In general, the DC of such a check equals 10 + the monster's CR. For common monsters, such as goblins, the DC of this check equals 5 + the monster's CR. For particularly rare monsters, such as the tarrasque, the DC of this check equals 15 + the monster's CR or more. A successful check allows you to remember a bit of useful information about that monster. For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information.
Usually none. In most cases, a Knowledge check doesn't take an action (but see "Untrained," below).
Retry? No. The check represents what you know, and thinking about a topic a second time doesn't let you know something that you never learned in the first place.
Knowledge Unchained
Source PFU
About This Section Optionally, a character who reaches 5, 10, 15, or 20 ranks in a skill unlocks various bonuses and abilities unique to that skill. The unchained rogue uses these rules extensively, but others can gain access to them with a new feat.
In this system, characters unlock additional abilities when they attain 5, 10, 15, and 20 ranks in a skill. The skill unlocks system interfaces with the unchained rogue to make the rogue the true master of skills.
Skill unlocks give characters new abilities and ways to use their skills upon reaching 5, 10, 15, and 20 ranks in a skill. Any character with the Signature Skill feat can earn skill unlocks for a single skill, and they are a prime feature of the revised version of the rogue who uses her rogue's edge ability to gain skill unlocks for several of her most iconic skills. Alternatively, you might make skill unlocks a universal part of the game, but you should be aware they add significant power and flexibility to skills, so giving them for free to all classes would grant power boosts to other highly skilled classes such as the investigator and bard, particularly in comparison to the rogue. Another alternative is to eliminate access to the Signature Skill feat, limiting skill unlocks to rogues and rogues alone.
With sufficient ranks in Knowledge, you earn the following.
5 Ranks: When you successfully identify a creature, you gain one additional piece of information for every 5 ranks you possess in that Knowledge skill.
10 Ranks: When you successfully identify a creature, you gain a +1 competence bonus on attack rolls, opposed ability checks, skill checks, and caster level checks against creatures of that kind (e.g., glabrezu demons, but not other demons or evil outsiders) for 1 minute. This bonus increases by 1 for every 5 ranks beyond 10 you possess in that Knowledge skill.
15 Ranks: When you fail a Knowledge check, you can reroll the check at a –10 penalty. The competence bonus above also applies to saving throws against exceptional, spell-like, or supernatural abilities used by creatures you identify.
20 Ranks: Whenever you attempt a Knowledge check, you can roll twice and take the better result.
