Against Big 12 team, Oklahoma recorded a 0-4 mark. Senior defender Sheri Whaley and sophomore defender Natalie Hixson are the team's top returners. Kathleen Peay, a midfielder from Richardson and Heather Morrison, a midfielder from Plano are two of the Sooners' top newcomers. The Sooners are 0-1 on the season and in conference play after losing 2-1 to nationally ranked Texas A&M. The meeting between Tech and OU will mark the first in school history.
Tech will turn around and play Oklahoma State on Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. in Stillwater. Tech holds a 1-0 series record over the Cowgirls. In their last meeting on Sept. 15, 1996, the Red Raiders shutout OSU 3-0 in Lubbock.
Last season, the Cowgirls went 10-7-2 on the year and 1-6-2 in Big 12 play. Sophomore forward Sally Holmes is the top returner for OSU. Holmes scored 13 goals and assisted on five others. Senior defender Miche' Garrison put in five goals and eight assists last season. Oklahoma State is currently 1-0 on the season after defeating Northwestern State on Sunday.

The definition of "session beer" is open-ended. Essentially, it's any low-alcohol beer (typically 5% ABV or under) that can be imbibed over and over in a single session without intoxicating the drinker beyond all comprehension. While the idea of session beers are somewhat new, they've actually been on American liquor store shelves for many, many decades—it's just that, back then, it was simply called "beer."
When craft breweries took to the scene, the market was saturated with bland, barely-alcoholic adjunct lagers and the pioneers of craft beer needed to differentiate themselves. They achieved this goal via diverse means but one tactic was to brew beer at a higher alcohol content. Strong beers became the standard for craft beer and led some uninitiated drinkers to believe low alcohol meant low flavor. Nowadays, however, the movers and shakers of craft beer are once again challenging perceptions by offering session ales and lagers as flavorful as beers twice their alcohol content. One such offering is Great Divide Brewing Co.'s session IPA, Lasso (5% ABV).
Color: Exceptionally clear, Lasso is orange, brassy, goldenrod, or light amber in appearance. It is topped with eggshell-white foam.
Aroma: Mild pine scents waft forth and intermingle with tinges of citrus fruit. The pine is most prevalent, though, even if it is faint; it's not like a coniferous forest but it's at least like a city park.
Taste: A zest of citrus starts off the sip and subsides to a touch of pine resin. There's a spark of bitterness but it dies away before building up too much power; it's an initial five seconds of powerful bitterness that lingers longer and longer as one drinks but never dominates.
Mouthfeel: Lasso finishes quite dry, leaves the mouth feeling a tad leathery. It's medium-light in body.
Big things come in small packages and Lasso proves the adage; it doesn't need a high ABV to deliver the goods, it only needs an open-minded drinker that's willing to give it a shot. For the beer geek that wants the bite of an IPA but not the motor-skill-reducing effects of the typical IPA's 5.5-7.5% ABV, Lasso is the answer.

Last weekend New York celebrated the centennial birthday of one of the worlds greatest composers in grand style. Starting with the New York Philharmonic and capping off the celebration on the exact date of his 100th birthday, Carnegie Hall celebrated with the St. Louis Symphony in a semi-staged production of his masterwork Peter Grimes.
The Philharmonic concert almost did not happen. At the eleventh hour, the tenor originally scheduled pulled out due to health reasons, leaving the administration scrambling to find a replacement. As maestro Gilbert noted, "It was not easy finding one single singer able or comfortable enough to sing both pieces on such short notice." So they found three different tenors to take on Britten's "Serenade for Tenor, Horn, and Strings, Op. 31," and his "Spring Symphony, Op. 44," along with mezzo soloist Sasha Cooke, and soprano soloist Kate Royal, who made her Philharmonic debut.
The tenor to fill the first slot was Michael Slattery who sang the "Serenade" during Thursday and Friday's concerts. This concert marked Mr. Slattery's Philharmonic debut, and it could not have been more triumphant. Brilliantly acted, his performance was bursting with spirit as he trumpeted his arrival. He took his teary-eyed bows to an enthusiastic audience who welcomed him with thunderous applause.
The evenings second tenor was recent winner of the 2013 George London Foundation Vocal Competition, Dominic Armstrong. Before the concert, Maestro Gilbert also noted that Mr. Armstrong, "First laid eyes on the score [that] morning…but you'd never know...and I shouldn't have told you that." Indeed if he had not, we would have been none the wiser. Mr. Armstrong obviously posses quite an incredible gift of musicality to be able to learn such an intricate piece in such a short amount of time. A few minor errors here or there (purely in a poetic sense due to the lack of rehearsal time), he pulled it off splendidly; again to a warm and welcoming New York Audience.
Not to be outshone, our soprano and mezzo were also great highlights of the evening, however, I believe the drama behind the story of the replacement might have stolen some thunder.
The following evening at Carnegie Hall, a much darker drama would be played out on stage. Though this one was scripted.
The St. Louis Symphony, conducted by Maestro David Robertson, gave Benjamin Britten quite a birthday bash.
Peter Grimes was performed in a semi-staged fashion, but all of the action took place stage-right due to space constraints of the hall. This left the story feeling squeezed and condensed, when the huge–and hugely talented–St. Louis Symphony Chorus took up a great deal of space. The lightening also added to the confusion–as there was none, and the costumes lacked cohesion in both style and period.
But what we lost in theatrics we more than got back in vocal and musical talent.
Our Peter was played by American tenor Anthony Dean Griffey, who also filled in with the Philharmonic for their final concert of the two Britten pieces, singing in both. What more can be said about the man who has made this a calling card of his? He plays Grimes with a subtle touch of madness that builds until he almost literally explodes at the very end. Ellen was played by American soprano, and budding superstar, Susanna Phillips. Though she had many, her greatest moment came while singing of her embroidery. Alan Held played role of Balstrode, a retired merchant skipper, with a great, booming voice, and fine-tuned theatricality. A few other characters of note were Liam Bonner as Ned, Meredith Arwady as the brassy Auntie, and her two nieces, Summer Hassan and Leela Subramaniam.
The other leading player for this even was our orchestra which, dare I say it, rivaled that of our own Philharmonic, and the great drama added by the St. Louis Symphony Chorus.

Washington State opened their first recreational marijuana stores yesterday to much fanfare and lines everywhere. People waited over night for the stores to open. There were shortages of the marijuana but still people wanted to be there so they could be part of history. The bill that allowed yesterday to occur passed back in 2012. The police for several years have backed off the pursuit to arrest those individuals who were caught with small amounts. So why was yesterday a big deal?
For years people have been screaming at the top of their voices to allow for the legalization of marijuana. Yesterday people were able to, and as one person put it was like going to a candy shoppe. In some 23 states you are now able to buy medical marijuana. The times they are a changing.
We have seen the rise of alcohol related deaths. Whether it be in traffic accidents or just from the simple consumption of too much. What you don't see is people dying from smoking marijuana.
Across this great country we are seeing that people from the President, Congress, and local politicians as well as the big business muckety mucks are relaxing their personal views on marijuana. It is taking this country like a storm and it is about time. Washington State became the second in what will eventually become a long line of states to legalize marijuana.
Colorado for instance is taking in some 3-4 million in taxes each month from the sale if marijuana. They've been doing this each month since the beginning of the year. Washington State will soon be doing the same. They have kinks that need to be worked out but they are on the right track.
Washington State did not have all the shops open due to paperwork problems. They didn't have all the merchandise that they wanted as the number if plants hadn't produced enough marijuana for opening day sales. The cool thing was that the people who waited in line for some 24 plus hours were happy to just be there. It will get better and everyone will be able to get high legally and without fear of arrest. You know it's like everything else, as long as you do it in moderation all will be good. Party on dudes. For information on the status of the legalization of medical marijuana in the State of Florida please go to forthepeople.com

Bill Laswell: Solar Clip
Solar Clip
Bill Laswell (8-string bass, fretless bass, sound effects)
Invisible Design II (Tzadik 8062)
Bill Laswell (8-string bass, fretless bass, sound effects).
Composed by Bill Laswell.
Recorded: no location given, early 2009
Rating: 77/100 (learn more)
"Solar Clip" is a fairly unmemorable sound collage. That isn't to say that Bill Laswell doesn't play well on it. During the odd metre, his goal of creating music befitting of outer space is credible. However, the music, after it ends, does not adhere to the mind. Much of it is heavily reverbed, and the repetition of the main melody is not engaging enough to stand on its own.
It is tough to recommend such a recording to the average listener because the track is not even abstract enough for curiosity's sake. I hear a guitar that plays a single distorted power chord, a bunch of percussion-like sounds that seem to emphasize the same pattern ad infinitum, and some effects meant to sound like flares running through the recording.
Certainly, uses for such music exist, as it could find a home as part of a TV or film soundtrack. However, this cut is disappointing. Such criticism is not aimed at Laswell, personally; many of his recordings can be classified as "genius" in scope, but this one fails to compete with his more finely attuned soundscapes.

CALGARY - The Calgary Flames dealt defenceman Jay Bouwmeester to the St. Louis Blues on Monday night ahead of the upcoming trade deadline.
In return, the Flames acquired a first-round pick and two prospects — defenceman Mark Cundari and goaltender Reto Berra.
In the event St. Louis does not qualify for this year's playoffs, the Flames will receive St. Louis' fourth-round selection in this summer's draft, with the first-round pick being deferred to 2014.
The move comes after Calgary started a rebuild by trading captain Jarome Iginla to Pittsburgh last week. The NHL trade deadline is 3 p.m. on Wednesday.
Bouwmeester, who has an annual cap hit of US$6.68 million through to the end of next season, has six goals and nine assists in 33 games in 2013.
The six-foot-four, 212-pound blue-liner joined Calgary in 2009 after being drafted third overall by the Florida Panthers in 2002.
Bouwmeester has 71 goals and 229 assists in 10 seasons with the Flames and Panthers.

NH7 talks with Kiwi glitch hop artist Opiuo before his impending visit to India this weekend to play MTV's Bloc Party in Mumbai.
Kiwi glitch hop exponent Opiuo has been making waves in the bass music scene for a few years. Prior to his trip to India to play MTV's Bloc Party this weekend, Opiuo talked to NH7 about his music, the bass music scene down under, and what he uses on stage and in studio to create his brand of funky-ass bass music.
NH7: In a world where mainstream bass music seems dominated by what is (allegedly) dubstep, do you feel like your brand of glitch hop is something that has crossover potential?
Opiuo: Absolutely. Music, for me, is about bringing together everything I love about music – soul, funk, rock, psychedelia. Bass music culture is very inclusive now. I've played parties for dubstep crowds, tech house crowds, pretty much a variety of people, and it definitely seems to be crossing over.
Your music seems influenced heavily by funk and soul music from the '60s and '70s. Is that the music you grew up listening to? What other music do you listen to nowadays?
Not at all actually. I grew up listening to more punk rock and reggae. I recently grew towards listening to funk and soul. But, I don't listen to a lot of bass music. If I was listening too much to what I do, I wouldn't be doing what I do.
What is bass music scene currently like in New Zealand and Australia?
It's amazing. Right now, it's still really young, and it's really supportive of everything we want to do as artists. There's no obligation to be tied down to a specific genre. And it seems like you can take this music anywhere, and everybody has room to be more experimental. We do get a lot of big international acts coming down because of our great summers, and that's definitely helped promote bass music down here.
Check out this insane piece of work, 'Ripple' off Opiuo's 2012 Butternut Slap Part 2 EP.
What kind of equipment do you use when you play live, and what are your go-to tools in the studio?
When I'm playing live, I use a laptop running Ableton Live, a Yamaha DTX 12 Multi Pad (drum machine), an Access Virus analogue synthesizer, an iPad, and a couple of MIDI controllers to control and trigger effects. In the studio, I run everything off Logic Pro. I feel like Logic sounds better than Ableton in a studio setting, and that's just me personally. I also use an Access Virus TI Polar Synth, and a Moog Voyager.
You clearly prefer playing live. Do you ever play DJ sets?
I haven't for a long time (DJ sets), because I've been mainly playing live shows. Back in the day, I did play DJ sets because I didn't have enough of my own music to play. Later on, after creating more music, I found it really hard to find other music that was even remotely like mine, so I just kept on creating. Nowadays, there's a lot more music similar to mine. Playing live is what I prefer.
You've got a rather large following now, and you're on your way to India to play a gig. How did all of this start out and come to fruition?
12 years ago, I went to a really big outdoor festival, and I heard electronic music for the first time on a big sound system. Two or three years later, I got myself a computer to do some design work, and to make music for fun. I realized pretty quickly that making music was amazing, making a song was an adventure. I started playing around more and more and realised I could actually do this, and being a drummer, this musicality was in-built. I like electronica because on a big sound system, it has power, it has the energy to transform people. You can dial out any sound you want. I've been touring all around the world recently, and I can't wait to come to India. I've had so many friends go and they tell me crazy stories about it. It's like a dream come true.
Opiuo will play the MTV Bloc Party in Mumbai on the weekend of January 18 and 19, at the Juhu Hotel, Mumbai. Buy tickets here. Stay tuned for more interviews with MTV Bloc Party artists and a preview in the run up to the massive weekend. And check out another bomb dot com Opiuo track below.

(2:08 p.m.) -- Surprisingly, Hurricane Charley, which is approaching Florida's west coast, has had only minimal impact on cruises this week. The port of Tampa is on the hot seat but Carnival, which operates twice-weekly departures from there, reports that Sensation departed yesterday -- and Inspiration is not due back until Sunday.
The eastern coast of Florida -- including "cruise central" ports such as Port Everglades and Miami -- is not much affected, at least at this point, by Hurricane Charley, though Carnival reports one change. Its four-day cruise from Miami on Imagination, slated to call at Cozumel, will head instead to the Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas.
We'll keep you posted today and through the weekend on any further changes.

Pawlenty: We Like Europe, Really
Watch a Republican presidential debate, or listen to the candidates speak, and it won't be long before you hear some Europe bashing.
Take leading contendor Mitt Romney during a presidential debate last September:
"President Obama is a big spending liberal. And he takes his political inspiration from Europe and from the socialist, democrats in Europe. Guess what. Europe isn't working in Europe. It's not going to work here."
His main rival in the race, former Senator Rick Santorum has been hitting the theme for years – long before the current debt crisis.
"If you look at the rest of the world and the struggles that they're having, particularly in western Europe, its cultures are dying… They are being overrun from overseas. And they have no response," he told Conservative leaders in 2006 in his home state of Pennsylvania. "They have nothing to fight for, they have nothing to live for."
Step up former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, who quit the Republican race last fall and now backs Mr. Romney.
In a sit-down interview in Brussels, Mr. Pawlenty said there is a clear "tension" between the economic philosophy of U.S. conservatives and the values behind some European economic models of "excessive government spending and an entitlement/welfare state."
But he said this won't stop Europe remaining a key partner for Washington if a Republican returns to the White House next January.
"That doesn't mean that we don't value the broader strategic relationship and friendship between Europe and the United States and the importance of that strategic relationship going forward on a host of other matters."
Of course, tensions have long existed between Republican presidents and the European public.
President Obama remains popular here, recent opinion polls suggests and privately Eurpoean diplomats say shared views has made his administration easier to work with than its predecessor. Many Europeans – even in countries traditionally close to Washington like the U.K. – never warmed to George W. Bush.
Mr. Pawlenty said Europe will remain "strategically vital for the cause of freedom and democracy and human rights."
But ultimately, he said, the relationship will depend on Europe's desire and ability to help the United States carry the weight of what remains American global leadership.
Echoing comments made by former Obama Defense Secretary Robert Gates (himself a Republican) and his successor, Leon Panetta, Pawlenty said Europe must bring "more than words."
"As we look to what that means on the ground… a question will be how committed are the various partners to actually doing things" to promote the values Europe and the U.S. share.

UFC President Dana White recently took part in an interview for Réseau Des Sports out of Canada, and spoke on a number of topics pertaining to mixed martial arts. Before the interview concluded, the following exchange took place:
Host: You've built this multi-billion dollar industry from the ground up. Just like another guy that we might know – Vince McMahon. If I locked you guys up in a cage together, who do you think would come out victorious?
White: Let me tell you something – I'll tell you this, and I've never said this before ever in an interview, ever, anywhere. Okay? And if Vince hears this, he's gonna go nuts. Vince is too old. He's too old, which he won't think he is and he'll go crazy. And he wanted to do that one time. Vince wanted to fight me. Swear to God, he called me up and said "Let's do it. We can either do it in the UFC, or let's do it at WrestleMania." And I said, "You are crazy." […] I always have said it and I'll say it again: I respect Vince very much, but Vince is too old to be fighting anybody.

Dr. Fuhrman on Getting Off Prednisone
I have an appointment to see you in 3 1/2 weeks but I'm writing hoping I can start doing something now. I am looking for help in getting off my Prednisone. I am a 59 year-old woman who was in good health, but under tremendous stress due to family crises (caregiver). I came down with pericarditis on Aug. 13, 2006, had a pericardial effusion and tamponade on Aug. 24th and emergency surgery - a pericardial window - the same day to drain the fluid. I began Prednisone 40 mg on Aug. 25th with a taper schedule. The pericarditis has persisted. I have not been able to taper down on the Prednisone. I have had 4 flare-ups since Aug. 25th. In the 78 days I have been on Prednisone, the majority of the time I have been on 30 mg and the rest of the time between 30 mg - 40 mg or 15 mg - 25 mg, depending on where I was with the taper. I am currently on 25 mg Prednisone, Colchicine 0.6 mg 2 x day, Motrin 600 mg 3 x day, Metoprolol 25 mg 2 x day (I had one episode of afibrillation 2 days after the surgery, but no past or current heart problems), Protonix 40 mg 2 x day, Synthroid 25 mcg (Hashimoto's disease, hypothyroidism, ongoing for 8 years).
I have read 'Eat to Live' and am reading 'Fasting and Eating for Health.' I did not eat sugar, white flour, meat or simple carbohydrates and recently went off wheat.
I was wondering whether you could tell me if there was anything I could be doing right now towards helping me get off the Prednisone in the period while I wait for my appointment with you.
Dr. Fuhrman:
You should start my dietary protocol right away. Eat the light diet described below and nothing else until you see me and do not drink any water. Do not use any salt or any product containing any sodium. Don't try to decrease the prednisone faster than 2.5 mg per week and do not start tapering further until following this protocol for at least a week.
Breakfast: Kiwis, berries, green apple and a glass of fresh squeezed carrot, beet, parsley, kale juice.
Lunch: Green lettuce, tomatoes, shredded red cabbage, watercress, shredded carrots and raw beets, with a dressing made from sesame seeds, orange and lemon. Eat two tablespoons of raw sunflower seeds. And a bowl of soup made with vegetable juice, leek, collards, kale, bok choy and zucchini.
Dinner: A blended smoothie made with banana, avocado, lettuce spinach and kale. Steamed green vegetable such as brussel sprouts, broccoli, baby bok choy, artichokes or asparagus. You can have a small amount (less than one ounce) of raw almonds, Brazil nuts or raw pistachio nuts. You can have one fresh fruit, such as papaya, mango, melon, apple or pear and another glass of fresh vegetable juice with dinner if you like.
Thank you so much for your reply and for giving me your protocol for me to start. I started the protocol yesterday. Really happy to be on it.
I just wanted to ask you one question now. I have a hypothyroid and the cruciferous vegetables in their raw form are goiterogenic. Is it OK if I steam them before using them in the parts of the diet where they would normally be eaten raw?
Dr. Fuhrman:
Please forget about the idea that raw cruciferous vegetables are goiteragenic. That does not happen in real life with real people and I assure you that the amount of raw greens you can eat will not hurt your thyroid.

With a boxy (but not baggy) fit and slimming stripes, this MANGO Op-Art Print Blouse ($50) is just what we need. Not to complete our work wardrobes, oh, no - rather, to disguise the fact that our New Year's resolution to get Gwen Stefani's abs turned into seeing how many bowls of macaroni and cheese we could stuff down our gullets while we were stuck inside during Nemo.

Rated 3 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by HoustonDecorator Good Quality, Cushion is Darker than Appears in Photos The barstools are good quality and were fairly easy for my husband and I to put together, although I don't think I would have been strong enough by myself. It took us about 25 minutes to assemble four stools. They look great except I was expecting more of an ivory cushion and it's more taupe/sand colored. November 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by MarleyJade Cheap cushion material I ordered four of these and was very excited to have them put together, but after sitting on one for only about 30 minutes, the cushion did not hold up and the cheap burlap (and scratchy) material on top of it looks loose and tacky. These are great if you're just looking for something that "looks" good, not so great if you actually want to use them as barstools. July 7, 2014

text: Each project would be an intermediate practical goal to focus attention on the problems and guide new technological developments. The Panel considered the following projects essential to the goal of lunar landing and return : a detailed investigation of the earth's radiation belts, recovery of radiation belt probes carrying biological specimens, an environmental satellite three men for two weeks, lunar probes, lunar reconnaissance (both manned and automatic), and lunar landing beacons and stores. The Panel recommended that work start immediately on an advanced recovery capsule that would incorporate the following features: reentry at near lunar return velocity, maneuverability both in space and in the atmosphere, and a parachute recovery for an earth landing. Kehlet was assigned to begin a program leading to a "second-generation" space capsule with a three-man capacity, space and atmospheric maneuverability, advanced abort devices, potential for near lunar return velocity, and advanced recovery techniques.

Watch Hell on Wheels
Hell on Wheels is a gritty modern drama about bringing a new technology through an inhospitable land. Set in Nebraska after the Civil War, Hell on Wheels is a new take on the Wild West. Scarred by the Civil War, yet fresh with hope, America was trying to move forward. The characters reflect the dual nature of the time; many are fleeing the ravaged east to find new hope out west, while others are dragging the horrors of the war with them.
The term Hell on Wheels is used to describe the name of the camp that follows the leading line of the railroad. This swampy huddle of canvas tents is where the modern east, with its genteel manners and finery meet the harsh realities of the lands that they have set out to conquer. The filth and mud in a sea of pristine waving grasslands is a telling juxtaposition and the perfect background for the events that unfold there.
The stories are ripped from the times and come alive as people trying to escape their pasts drag them west along the ribbons of steel. The politics of the time act as catalysts for the action, which is bold and moving. Hell on Wheels is composed of dreamers and schemers, all trying to find their place in the wild unknown.
Cullen Bohanan played by Anson Mount is the embittered revenge-driven hero who rides into Hell on Wheels seeking vengeance for the murder of his family by soldiers during the war. He is an old time southern gentleman in a world that is disdainful of him and his kind. The war has driven him west and he brings it with him wherever he goes.
Thomas Durant (Colm Meaney) known to everyone as Mr. Durant is the steel that is building the railroad. He has put his reputation and financial future into the building of the railroad. He sees in Bohanan the enforcer he needs to drive the workers harder to get the rails laid. He alone lives in opulence, a train car at the end of the line serves as his office and parlor.

Hell on Wheels News
"The Walking Dead." "Mad Men." "Breaking Bad." While AMC has recently done a pretty lousy job as of late at keeping the cast and crews of its highly rated and critically acclaimed shows happy, there's no denying the network's prowess at picking quality programming options. That's just one of the reasons the network's latest original drama "Hell on Wheels" sounds so promising.

This chick first started working for the Reality Kings network back in 2009 doing an episode for Big Tits Boss, and since then she has really set the world on fire! This babe is so hot...she is to the world of sex what Magritte was to the world of painting!
Date: Monday, July 6, 2009
What an amazing day, my boss had no idea I lied about being a bartender in my application as her maid practically. She asked for a sex on the beach, and when I delivered it, she spit it out. She gave me one last chance to make a drink or to get the fuck out, and thats when I put my dick on the table. She was startled, but did not hesitate to suck the life out of it. I had to fuck and lick her how she wanted it, and did it right. She moaned and came all over my dick, and wanted my cum to be her drink for the day.. Enjoy...

It's June and soon the little ones will be out of school, if they're not already. What is a Baltimore parent to do? How about the Art of Sesame Street: From Picture to Page at Port Discovery? Seriously, most of us all grew up on Sesame Street, so just as much for the kids; it's a nice walk down memory lane for us too. And since we're talking about entertainment for our inner child, how about we talk about this week's anime. This week, as seen on Crunchyroll.com, we cover Black Bullet.
Black Bullet is an anime based off its manga counterpart about humanity's battle against viral infected former humans turned absolute monster called Gastrea. Like zombies, they attack and infect other humans, and the virus is driving humanity to extinction. That was until the material Vibranium is discovered. It's really the only thing that stops the monsters' regeneration and can kill them. The ones that use this material in a variety of ways are called Promoters. Of course, Promoters don't act alone; they have little girls called Initiators that fight along with them. While Promoters are (mostly) human, Initiators are 'Cursed Children,' little girls that have been infected with the Gastrea virus before they were born. Because they are infected with the virus already, some have the skill to take on Gastrea head on. However, in one of the last bastions of humanity, someone wishes to continue the push towards the brink. Thus enter our Promoter and Initiator pair, Rentaro and Enju.
The first few episodes of the anime are rather enjoyable. This is primarily because it takes almost verbatim from the manga and puts it to animation. Each episode covers about two or so chapters of the manga. And it's fun to see the anime adaption so faithful to its counterpart while the pace keeps moving along quickly, while at the same time giving you a concept of what's going on. Things escalate fast and like being on a rollercoaster, you're on the edge of your seat wanting more. When the back story is done, the story's not about to explain things like how you get infected or how a little girl rules an entire city, or what happens to the parents of the infected children; it's left up to your imagination to fill in the blanks. With how swiftly the plot moves along, this is fine. You're left with the ability to focus more on a cause and effect style plot, which has its doldrums at time, but for the most part is enjoyable. You're not bogged down with useless speeches or pointless banter and you get right to the next point that ties in to the overall story, even if it's not overtly obvious.
The characters in the story are even more interesting as you not only are interested in the hero but the villain as well. As the villain, Hiruko Kagetane, makes more appearances and you get to see the world around him and what his mission is. After seeing what Hiruko is talking about, the audience and even Rentaro's conviction shakes a bit about if Hiruko might be doing what is necessary. Still, good old Enju is there to set him straight, though in her own kind of perverse way. Rentaro is shown off as this very deep, reckless but calculating, kid with this heavy weight on his shoulders. One of those weights being Enju. She knows this and tries to lighten his burden. She knows what she is and how people see her. The audience gets to see this as well and it shows how strong this little girl 'has' to be. Almost as deep as Rentaro, she has this constant reminder that every Gastrea she kills could one day be her.
Having watched up to episode four, the downside of the anime rears its ugly head. As much emphasis and power was put into the potential 'main' villain, he went down so quickly and almost too quietly. The anime's pace seemed to work against it as if to say, "Okay, let's get this arc over with. Not important anymore." And into the black Hiruko sailed, to his end? Well, let's hope not. His first appearance, he got his neck snapped completely the wrong way. If he can come back from that… On top of that, the pace seemed to slow down just enough for Rentaro to have a pity party in a giant cannon. While it is understandable that it is a lot of pressure to put on any person, Rentaro seems to become even more sappy than usual and whines about those few moments before firing the cannon. Meanwhile, in the city, a giant Gastrea that everyone was trying to prevent from being summoned is now tap dancing through the city, mostly likely killing and infecting thousands.
The first few episodes of the series delivered a compelling story that drew people in. The fast pace motif and cause and effect style kept you going. Still, there are things like that final fight that can make you question why things get so hyped then glossed over so fast. Still, the series is still in its infancy and has what is believed lots more episodes to come. Let's hope the series can bounce back and draw its viewers back in.

Many e-commerce experts have emphasized the importance of maximizing the marketing potential of social media. Studies have also revealed the effectiveness of social media in customer engagement and lead generation.

You might have your hands full just with making sure that all customers receive their orders in time.
The good news is that there are tools that are especially designed for social media marketing management. Consider using these tools to put your social media marketing strategies on auto-pilot.

If you're planning to run contests this holiday season, you may get a lot of use out of Wildfire. The tool helps you create campaigns in contest and quiz formats and simultaneously launch these campaigns on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Wildfire also offers a social marketing suite than can help entrepreneurs build custom landing pages on Facebook.
Dlvr.it is a useful tool if you subscribe to a lot of RSS feeds of valuable content for your target market. This free tool can help you publish links to the content on your Facebook fan page, Twitter, and LinkedIn profile.

Employers in Oregon and southwest Washington interested in creating and maintaining safer workplaces will get that opportunity at the 2007 Oregon Governor's Occupational Safety and Health (GOSH) conference
scheduled March 12-15, 2007 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland.
Safety and Health Leadership: Moving Forward is the theme for the 2007 event. More than 30 full-day workshops and 80 single-topic classes are scheduled during the four-day conference to
educate managers and workers about workplace safety and health issues. The conference marks the 30th Oregon Governor's conference since the event's inception in 1944. Leadership Consultant Robert Pater

Several innovative programs are scheduled for the 2007 GOSH conference:
Advanced construction safety
A program track designed to meet the needs of construction safety professionals is scheduled for each day of the conference. Among topics covered include managing crane safety programs on work sites,
safety for the general public around construction sites, accident investigation, and legal or contractual insurance concerns.
Focus on small-business safety
The 2007 conference is expanding its focus on small businesses, which account for more than 80 percent of employment in Oregon. A free session of Oregon OSHA's popular Safety for Small Business workshop
will be offered during the GOSH Conference, providing small-business employers a chance to benefit - at no charge - from demonstrations of safety equipment and products in the conference's exhibit
hall that day.
Preventing equipment theft
Several law enforcement and crime prevention agencies are partnering to present a full-day workshop on Heavy Equipment Theft during the final day of GOSH, March 15. Sponsoring agencies include the
Federal Bureau of Investigation/Law Enforcement Executive Development Association, Construction Industry Crime Prevention Program, and the National Equipment Registry. The summit is designed for equipment
managers, construction project managers, local law enforcement, and the insurance industry.
Advancing the safety and health profession
Safety and health professionals working toward certification as a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) can benefit from advanced coursework offered in a special
CSP/CIH preparation workshop track. Professionals with active CSP/CIH certifications can also fulfill continuing education requirements by attending workshops.
Registration for the conference is scheduled to begin in January 2007. Registration fees for the conference are $275 for the full four-day event; you can attend any single day for $120 (first or final
day) or pay $95 each day for Tuesday and Wednesday sessions.
The conference is presented in odd-numbered years as a partnership between the Department of Consumer and Business Services, Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) and the American Society

JWC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE ; 5 May 1840; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18400505-JWC-MAC-01; CL 12: 133
Tuesday night [5 May 1840]
Dear Mother of him.
You complained of my last "That the words were sawin on the paper"! You cannot in conscience Expect much better of me, tonight with my nerves "all dadded abreed," by the First Lecture,—but as it is better he should be hiding than writing, and as you will be anxious to know how we have got through, I send you a line according to ability,— He has been very tormented for several days back, but to-day when it was to come to the point, he held his peace, and behaved so well, that I was almost frightened, and would like to have heard him growling again, to be sure it was himself, it reminded me of my mother's consternation once on hearing her only child tumble downstairs, and roar never a bit!, she had been lecturing me on the propriety of taking such accidents quietly, and so I bit my lips and was as quiet as a lamb, whereupon she ran to me in the greatest terror—told me that the next time I fell that I might as well give some sign of life at least?!

By RICHARD YOUNG
District 47 State Senator
For many of Indiana's cities and towns, finding ways to jump-start economic growth is a top priority. Indiana's rural communities are no different. However, challenges unique to the state's rural communities require a slightly different approach to creating the sustainable, good-paying jobs Hoosiers demand.
In a meeting of the Interim Study Committee on Economic Development earlier this month, lawmakers and community stakeholders laid out challenges and a few innovative approaches to encourage economic growth in rural areas.
According to data presented by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, the population of young adults living in more rural communities declined by more than 7 percent between 2005 and 2010.
The phenomenon known as "brain-drain," young adults leave rural areas, taking with them the skills, knowledge and expertise they've acquired. The same report noted that more rural populations tend to have older populations, lower average wages, lower educational attainment and higher commute times.
To combat these disincentives and energize rural economies, lawmakers, local officials and residents must align their economic-development efforts to conform to 21st century economic realities. That starts with ensuring Hoosiers both young and old have access to high-quality education and workforce training.
Last session I supported a bipartisan effort to match the state's education, job skills development and career training systems to the future needs of the state's job market. My aim is to provide any worker who wants to pursue it, the opportunity to gain in-demand skills and compete for jobs.
Setting Hoosiers on the path to success starts with guaranteeing our students arrive in classrooms ready to learn. Study after study confirms early childhood education drives future success. That's why I have continued to support initiatives to make preschool a reality for every Hoosier child.
Finally, the best policy to spark economic growth in rural communities is to give local communities the latitude needed to innovate.
Too often, federal and state regulations and red tape handcuff local officials and subvert home rule.
By allowing local communities to apply resources such as tax-increment financing, increase broadband access and tackle critical infrastructure needs as they see fit, lawmakers can empower the folks best equipped to create communities that attract a top-flight workforce and employers that pay living wages.
As always, I'd like to hear your thoughts and ideas on the issues that matter most to you. Please contact me at (800) 382-9467 or send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Young represents Perry County in the Indiana Senate.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -
Seniors Cursty Jackson (Los Angeles, Calif.) and Courtney Karst (Centennial, Colo.) led the Arizona volleyball team (18-10, 10-9) past No. 2 UCLA (23-5, 16-4) to sweep the Bruins for the first time since 2005. The Wildcats won 3-0 (25-23, 25-23, 25-20) in Wooden Center.
On Oct. 8, Arizona defeated then-No. 2 UCLA in Tucson, Ariz., 3-2.
Jackson and Karst led the team in kills with 11, Jackson hitting .304 and Karst .393.
"We really played well tonight," Arizona head coach David Rubio said. "It may have been our best-played match of the year."
According to current records, Arizona volleyball had never beaten a top-two team on the road. The last time the Wildcats defeated two top-two teams in one season was in 1993, when Arizona defeated No. 2 Stanford on Oct. 24 and No. 1 UCLA on Nov. 7.
Sophomore Candace Nicholson (Long Beach, Calif.) added 10 digs for the Wildcats, while freshman Rachel Rhoades (San Diego, Calif.) had five blocks.
As a team, Arizona outhit UCLA in every set and held them to a .189 hitting percentage. In addition, the Wildcats out-blocked the Bruins, seven to four.
"Everything fell into place," Rubio said. "Our serving, blocking, passing--everything. It was a really good effort by everyone and we feel pretty good."
Rachael Kidder led the Bruins with 15 kills.
Arizona will face an even tougher challenge on Saturday as it faces No. 1 USC at 7 p.m. PT.

It is for Oil Min to consider raising LPG cylinder cap: FM
New Delhi: Amidst demands from within the Congress party to increase the limit on supply of subsidised LPG cylinders, Finance Minister P Chidambaram today said it was for the Petroleum Ministry to bring a proposal for raising the cap if it feels so.
"(Supply of) six (subsidised) cylinders (per household in a year) was decided by the Cabinet based on the proposal that came from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. (Now it is) for them to rework it, if they feel it needs to be reworked," he told PTI in an interview.
Consumers have to pay a rate which is more than double the subsidised price of Rs 410.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder for any requirement beyond their quota of six cylinders in a year.
At the recent party conclave at Surajkund, there was a demand for raising the cap to 12 cylinders per household in a year. Even the new Oil Minister M Veerappa Moily had earlier this month admitted that the decision, taken during term of his predecessor S Jaipal Reddy, had caused hardships.
For a government which stares at the prospect of having to pay Rs 80,000-100,000 crore towards fuel subsidies this fiscal, raising the cap would mean additional outgo and Chidambaram was categorical in stating that the Oil Ministry should consider finances before moving any note.
"As I said government finances are stressed at the moment. Therefore, I am sure whatever has been proposed (by the Oil Ministry) will take note of the government finances also," Chidambaram said.
Moily had earlier this month stated that there has been demand from within the Congress party as well as Opposition parties to raise the cap.
"They have gone by some arithmetic that on an average only six cylinders are enough (for a household). This is arithmetic (but) there is also a chemistry, which they have not done it," Moily had said.
The Cabinet had in September decided to restrict supply of cooking gas at subsidised rate to 6 cylinders of 14.2-kg per household in a year. The companies were asked to sell any requirement beyond six at market price which is more than twice the subsidised rate.

EUGENE, Ore. - The 14th-ranked Arizona State baseball team lost 1-0 to No. 23 Oregon in the first game of its doubleheader on Saturday at PK Park in Eugene, Ore. Right-hander Brady Rodgers threw a complete game, giving up one earned run on four hits with three strikeouts.
Rodgers (4-1) took his first loss of the season after allowing just four base runners on three singles, a home run and no walks. This is the third time this season Rodgers has pitched a complete game and he stands four strikeouts away from 200 in his Sun Devil career.
The Sun Devils (16-10, 3-4) collected two hits from Andrew Aplin, including a double in the fourth inning, as he extended his hitting streak to seven games.
The Ducks (16-8, 4-3) scored the only run of the game with a solo home run near the left-field foul pole to take the lead, 1-0, in the sixth inning.
Right-hander Alex Keudell (3-3) earned the win after throwing a complete-game shutout with four hits and two walks.
The Sun Devils will play the second half of their Saturday double header against Oregon at 4:30 p.m. (PT). Tim Healey and Seth Dhaenens will have the call on KDUS The Fan Am 1060.

Located in Culver City, Yo Ku Mon sits in a strip mall off Jefferson near Sepulveda, drawing customers in with big banners claiming "the best coffee in LA" and "handmade ice cream cookie sandwiches." It also has pretty decent reviews on yelp so is it worth a trip?
Unfortunately not.
The ice cream sandwiches which they are famous for were less than impressive. The cookies were very dry and had been sitting out for too long, tasted store bought, and were so sugary they were tough to finish. The ice cream was pretty good, nothing stellar (the strawberry cheesecake flavor is a fan favorite).
On the other hand you definitely get a bang for your buck- just $3 and they do no skimp on the ice cream. Definitely a great Sunday treat for the kids, but perhaps a bit too sweet for an adult palate.
The macaroons also were a bit lackluster. Perhaps fresh they might be better but like the other cookies they tasted dry and did not possess that wonderful melt in your mouth quality you expect from a French macaroon. The fruit flavors (lemon and raspberry) were again too sugary, but the chocolate and caramel flavors were much tastier.
Their coffee had a nice taste, however a single espresso came served in a large paper coffee cup, so it was cold almost immediately and did not live up to the advertising banners posted out front.
The one saving grace was the service. The gentleman behind the counter was very sweet, personable, and helpful in his recommendations.
Overall Yo Ku Mon is a great place to bring your kids, especially if you're out for a long weekend of shopping (there is a Target, Ross, and Bed Bath and Beyond next door) but don't go out of your way.
