Call 471-6636
I was eating pizza the other day where they have the buffet and I saw a girl take a soda cup and go up there and fill it full of salad to take home with her. I'm surprised they didn't say something to her about it. What if everybody did that? The place would be out of business before long. If you needed a salad, why didn't you go tell them and pay for it instead of getting it off the buffet? I could not believe this.
Mike this is Rocking the boat again. It amazes me at the words edited in Bible scripture that is printed in God's holy word. If God had wanted what He had written changed, He probably would have named a time that this would have come about. There's much scripture in God's holy word about false teaching, do not add or take away from God's holy word. There is no proof in scripture that allows women to be in the pulpit. Ninety percent of the churches have no preachers, they only have speakers. Again, I say, no one wants to rock the boat about preaching the truth.
I'm calling in response to the article in SpeakOut about the Church on the Rock entitled Keep handing out help. I agree with them that we should help people with rent and stuff and utilities because they deserve it, not just feed them once a year and give them presents. But that's why Church on the Rock does do it throughout the year. They've done it for me. They've given us food several times, paid out rent and utility bills several times. They've helped numerous others that I know of and continue to do so. Evidently, this person wasn't one of them. They are telling Church of the Rock to focus on God more. But all I hear them complaining about is paying their rent and paying their bills. They aren't focusing on God. So I suggest this person get more into the Word their self and more into God and maybe God will bless them.
Mike, you got what you want. I'm thinking seriously about moving out of Sikeston. Sikeston is the most uncaring, unChristian town I've ever seen. As many people that go to church, they can't even smile or say Merry Christmas. Cape, Dexter, Bloomfield, Charleston, East Prairie, all those other towns are lit up. What do we get here - nothing. Where's the Christmas spirit? It's not about shopping. Why do we even celebrate Christmas if no one wants to say Merry Christmas. I do want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. The reason we celebrate Christmas is because it's the birth of Jesus Christ. It's not about shopping.
Response to Glory be. Since when did celebrating the birth of a child become a waste of time and ink. A child is a gift of God, no matter the marital status of the parents. If you ask me, they wasted ink printing your judgmental comment.

Roger breezes into semis
Roger has seen off the challenge of Andy Murray to reach the semi-final of the Australian Open.with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-7(6) and 6-3 win.
"I'm probably one of the guys who misses more break-point opportunities than other guys so I'm kind of used to it. You stay positive - give yourself a chance," Roger said.
Roger did not face any break points while converting both of his opportunities in building a comfortable two-set lead. But Murray got his first and only break chance in the third set when Roger was serving for the match at 5-4. After Murray was successful with that, he even went on to defent two match-points in the tie-breaker and win the set. Roger won the opening game of the fourth set before Murray battled in his serve as the two players went to deuce 10 times. Roger later broke Murray in the eighth game and held serve this time to wrap up the win in 3 hours and 20 minutes.
Roger will now face Rafael Nadal in the semi-final on Friday in what will be their 33rd encounter on the ATP Tour.
Well everyone, I am going to drown my sorrows now. I hope that Roger can find some positives out of the match. I think it is like all great portraits a masterpiece in the making.

Bernie betrays the little guyJanuary 30,2013
Once again Bernie Sanders has thrown his hat in the ring to support the wind industry.
Always the savior of the little man, this time he favors big business over rural Vermonters. Some of the very same Vermonters who help to keep him in office.
Bernies press conference this week smacks those Vermonters in the face.
Less that a year ago, Sen. Sanders sent out a form letter saying he wouldnt respond to the plight of rural towns battling wind developers because he doesnt intervene in local or state political processes.
That idea sure went out the window in a hurry.
Most Vermonters believe in global climate change. Most of us want to do what we can. Those who are practical and serious about making a real change know Vermont needs to work on the way we heat our homes and power our vehicles.
Vermont is the cleanest state in the nation for electrical power generation already. The practice of selling green energy wind credits down south is only allowing large corporations to increase the amount of pollution they put into our air.
This Thursday rural Vermonters from around the state will join together to present the Legislature with a clean energy plan that supports Vermonts rural communities, preserves the states ridgelines and ecosytems, and protects our heritage.
There is no science behind the wind industry, just painful lies, that Vermont will live to regret. The emperor has no clothes here, and Bernie is doing his best to cover him up.

When was the first time you asked yourself if men and women can be just friends?
Today's guest post by author, Renee Fisher, dives into this question as she talks about kissing, dating, break ups and her latest book, Loves Me Not. She first asked herself that question when she was in the seventh grade. She writes:
My friends and I were wasting time in gym talking about more important matters: boys. After listening to my friends, I was horrified to find out that (shocker)--I was the only girl who hadn't kissed a boy yet. I instantly felt this pressure I've never felt before. Maybe it was just me, or the way I was raised--but I wasn't quite comfortable with having boy friends. And I certainly wasn't going to kiss a boy who wasn't my friend.
In a hook-up-or-go-home culture, it's tough for me to justify skipping the "let's be friends" part while jumping into a serious relationship. That probably also explains why I was single for so long.
I tell people often that I was single for over a decade until I found my prince. Personally, he was worth the wait--but how do you find friendships before marriage? Can men and women be just friends? I recently wrote an eBook entitled Loves Me Not to help answer these questions.
Questions like these are very important to ask before marriage, BUT before I attempt to answer these questions, I want to talk about friendship—more importantly, what godly friendship— looks like. First you need to know what you're looking for in a friend. Later you can evolve the right friendship into the right romance.
+ Friends don't gossip about each other (Proverbs 26:20).
+ Friends are gentle instead of harsh or angry at each other (Proverbs 15:1).
+ Friends words bring healing (Proverbs 12:18).
+ Friends should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry (James 1:19).
+ Friends don't destroy each other (Proverbs 11:9).
+ Friends are understanding and even-tempered with each other (Proverbs 17:2).
+ Friends pray for each other (Job 42:10, James 5:16).
+ Friends spur each other forward (Hebrews 10:24).
+ Friends encourage each other daily (see Hebrews 3:13).
+ Friends share in each other's troubles and joys (see Romans 12:15).
+ Friends are reliable and stick closer than a brother or sister (Proverbs 18:24).
After reading the list, I hope you know and understand more about what a true friend does and doesn't look like (whether they're a boy or a girl).
Nowhere does the Bible say, "Thou shall or shall not be friends with the opposite sex." Praise God, right? But it does say to choose your friends "carefully" (Proverbs 12:26, NIV).
Maybe after reading the list you'll know more about your motives and the intentions of your friends. I also hope to instill a deeper sense of appreciation for what it takes to be friends first before jumping into a relationship. What better way to discern if a relationship will be a good fit if you know what good of a friend he or she is?
I believe it is possible for guys and girls to be just friends.
The how is between you, God, and the other person.
What's the verdict? Do you believe men and women can be friends? If you'd like to read more from Loves Me Not, I'd love to share more with you. If you or anyone you know is currently experiencing a broken relationship or a breakup--I encourage you to pick up the eBook for only $2.99.

Roth starts AmpliPhi Biosciences at buy
February 13, 2014 by mcapraro · Leave a Comment
Roth Capital Partners has initiated coverage of AmpliPhi Biosciences (OTC:APHB) with a "buy" rating and price target of $1. The stock closed at 59 cents on Wednesday.
AmpliPhi is developing a validated approach, phage, to combat bacterial infections through its laser guided "smart bomb" approach to address this unmet medical need.
Phage are naturally occurring viruses that infect and kill bacteria but are benign and non-infective to eukaryotic human cells. They are abundant in the natural environment. Bacteriophage have been used for over a century throughout parts of the world as a treatment for bacterial infections, but have not been widely commercially developed for this purpose in the Western World due to the heavy reliance on antibiotics.
AmpliPhi is developing several bacteriophage therapies and has the platform in place to develop many more, writes analyst Joseph Pantginis.
"We see compelling value in AmpliPhi currently, namely because its products are early stage," he said. "However, due to extensive historical use, we believe this is an unusually de-risked early-stage company."
Mr. Pantginis figures the development programs at AmpliPhi could be accelerated due to both the unmet medical need and potentially faster development timelines. "We also believe that as the product candidates move forward the partnering potential is high," he added.

Friar Jack's Catechism Quiz:
Sorting out the Truth About
St. Francis of Assisi
by Julie Zimmerman
The feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron
of peace, animals and the environment, will be celebrated Oct.
4. Francis' legacy of peacemaking, his devotion to the gospel
and his love for creation remain relevant today, 800 years after
he lived. As his life of service and joy inspired followers, his
greatness caused some stories about his work and life to be mythologized.
This edition of "Friar Jack's Catechism Quiz" takes
a closer look at St. Francis of Assisi. We admit this is not a
big part of most catechisms, but saints are, and what saint is
more popular than St. Francis?
For more on St. Francis, check out the Francis
Web feature at AmericanCatholic.org.
We also print some of the mail we received in response to
Friar Jack's "First
Anniversary of 9/11Time to Move Ahead."
This Month's Quiz:
(peeking encouraged!)
did Francis say, "Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words
if necessary"?
did he write the "Peace Prayer"?
long was Francis' 40-day fast?
Friar Jack's Inbox:
reflect on "First Anniversary of 9/11Time to Move Ahead"
did Francis say, "Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words
if necessary"?
This is a great quote, very Franciscan in its
spirit, but not literally from St. Francis. The thought is his;
this catchy phrasing is not in his writings or in the earliest biographies
about him.
In Chapter XVII of his Rule of 1221, Francis told
the friars not to preach unless they had received the proper permission
to do so. Then he added, Let all the brothers, however, preach
by their deeds.
A few years ago, someone used the Internet to
contact some of the most eminent Franciscan scholars in the world,
seeking the source of this Use words if necessary quote.
It is clearly not in any of Francis writings. After a couple
weeks of searching, no scholar could find this quote in a story
written within 200 years of Francis death.
Adapted from Ask
A Franciscan, a feature in St. Anthony Messenger.
when did he write the "Peace Prayer"?
Another trick question. The above saying and the
Peace Prayer, which Francis certainly did not write,
are easily identified with him because they so thoroughly reflect
his spirit. Unfortunately, they would not have become as widespread
if they had been attributed to John Smith or Mary
Exhaustive research on the origins of the Peace
Prayer of St. Francis has led to Christian Renouxs new
book in French. This 210-page study (ISBN 2-85020-096-4) is described
at www.electre.com under Les Editions Franciscaines.
An 11th-century French prayer is similar to the
first part of the Peace Prayer. The oldest known copy
of the current prayer, however, dates to 1912 in France. The prayer
became more well known in other countries during World War I.
This prayer is sold all over Assisi todaybut
most often under the title A Simple Prayer. Whoever
linked it to St. Francis guaranteed a wide diffusion of the text.
The same is true for the Use words if necessary quote.
Both reflect St. Francis very well.
Adapted from Ask
A Franciscan, a feature in St. Anthony Messenger.
long was Francis' 40-day fast?
St. Francis observed the Forty Days Fast
of Saint Michael the Archangel, beginning on Our Lady's Assumption
(August 15) and concluding on the Feast of Sts. Michael, Gabriel
and Raphael, on September 29.
But if you count off the days on the calendar,
that is a period of more than 40 daysno matter on what day
you begin or end the count. Even omitting the Sundays from the count
wouldnt make the days come out to 40.
All we can surmise is that the authors (and St.
Francis himself) meant the expression a fast of 40 days
to be taken loosely. The feasts were more important as the starting
and ending times than the exact number of days. And I cannot personally
believe Francis would have advocated fasting on the feasts themselves.
Bishop Hilarin Felder, O.F.M.Cap., author of The
Ideals of St. Francis of Assisi (Benziger Bros., 1925), in his
chapter The Piety of St. Francis spends some paragraphs
speaking of Francis devotion to the angels as our guardians
and St. Michael in particular. The angels were, in Francis
eyes, our champions in the struggle against the powers of darkness.
He saw the angels unceasingly singing hymns of praise before the
Blessed Sacrament and urged that his brothers sing their office
in union with the heavenly spirits.
In the struggle against evil Francis placed himself
under the leadership of the Prince of Heaven, St. Michael, who,
says Felder, has been assigned the office of leading souls into
the Kingdom of heaven. Felder writes that Francis' battle cry was:
O invincible, valiant hero, Prince Michael, O guard us through
life, O help us in strife, Prince Michael, Prince Michael!
Since this fast was an act of personal devotion
on Francis part, we can hardly know exactly how he observed
it. I would think that the follower of today wanting to keep this
fast would do so according to the custom and law for fasting in
the Church todaymeat once a day, one full meal and the other
two not to equal together another full meal.

the Wise Man, an archive feature in St. Anthony Messenger.
Friar Jack's Inbox
respond to Friar Jack's reflections on "First
Anniversary of 9/11Time to Move Ahead"
"Dear Friar Jack: Agreed...BUT...It
is all well and good to speak platitudes about love and peace, but
by turning the other cheek, we only can expect more of the same
violence from people that do not know love and do not wish for peace.
I must admit that my faith has been sorely shaken by the events
of September 11...To close our eyes to the evil intentions of those
that seek to destroy us is to invite our own destruction. I agree
that all your suggestions are the best possible way of following
Jesus' teachings, but in the meantime something must be done to
eliminate the possibility of further attacks. Evil must be fought
and resisted in a practical way...as well as in an idealist way."Barbara
"Dear Friar Jack: The perpetrators of
September 11 did the devil's work. The hunting down and imprisonment
or destruction of those who would kill our friends, our families
and ourselves is the work of God. We have to destroy the evil. God
will not come down to do it for us. The good people on this earth
are the only instruments God has here."Bob
Friar Jack responds: Thanks for
your frank responses. I did not mean to suggest that there is no
need to defend ourselves from terrorist attacks or bring evil-doers
to justice. Our national leaders have the duty of protecting our
people and our guests from violence and terrorism. Realistically,
physical force may be needed to do this, but thoughtful people raise
important questions about the moral limits of that force. Yet many
commentators are arguing for the violent response as if there are
no moral concerns.
As a writer for a Christian publication, I see
my call as looking beyond war and violence and military force and
saying that violence is not the ultimate solution to creating a
more peaceful world. It's important to communicate the Christian
message in this context and to speak for the building up of international
peace in non-violent ways. Our leaders should move toward greater
collaboration with the U.N. and leaders of other nations.
"Dear Friar Jack: Thank you for your
reassuring and guiding words during this difficult time of remembrance.
I currently live and work in a Muslim country overseas and truly
believe in the need to fight hate with love. I've recently begun
to learn and understand that this is a truth which rings true for
all levels of human interaction, whether it be person-to-person
or country-to-country. I think I'll remember the tragic events of
September 11th by making a charitable donation to one of the local
Father Jack responds: Thanks, Dan,
for your kind words. We need more people like you, who show respect
to other religions and build up friendly relations with all people
of good will.
"Dear Friar Jack: Our Francis turned
from a military man to a repairman in that he began physically repairing
churches and from that beginning to spiritually repair them. When
we think of those who have followed in the true Franciscan way from
then till now, and those who followed the paths of warfare from
then till now, it's not hard to see the route we should take.Michael

Hello Shannon,
we just received our Banzai Life Scenarios books and couldn't be happier or more appreciative. Last year we enjoyed the lessons so much that some of the students couldn't wait to do them again. Thank you Greylock Federal and Banzai for the opportunity to continue this valuable program in our school. Happy Holidays!
- Linda Lam
From a Teacher in Dalton, MA
Dear EECU Sponsors,
I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how much my students are enjoying and learning from the Banzai program. Without this program some of the questions, ideas, and vocabulary would not come up in a normal conversation of instructions. When students need to solve situations independently, it becomes more real for them. Thank you for sponsoring the Banzai program for our school.
Cathy Richter
From a Teacher in Lansing, MI
I cannot thank Altra Federal Credit Union enough for their generous donation of Life Scenario books to my classroom. The students are enjoying all of the activities and it is giving them an outlook of possibilities for the future. This was a great way to keep my students very involved with technology and prepare them for the future. Thank you again!
Clarissa Glesmann
From a Teacher in Tyler, TX
Community West Credit Union,
Thanks so much for providing the Banzai Banking material and opportunity for my students. With very limited resources for schools these days, quality curriculum, especially "free" quality curriculum is really hard to come by and business support of our schools is genuinely appreciated. Thanks again for your efforts in helping our kids become financially responsible young adults.

And...it's free.

Across the U.S., teachers have an "unfunded mandate" to teach financial literacy. Lacking budgets, they're discovering it's impossible to obtain quality teaching resources. Sure, there are free resources on the internet. But manuals require intense teacher preparation, and they cannot promote change.
With Banzai, you are uniquely situated to help. Banzai's interactive software is engaging and personal. It actually helps them manage their own money. And for educators, Banzai aligns to your state's Standards Of Learning.
By partnering with Banzai, teachers will seek your participation. Be the hero.

Yim heads back into town, following Kaz to see about reinforcements. But, on the first night's camp, a familiar voice calls to him in a dream:
"Yimayngurr my son! We needing your help! Come back to your people. Him what sent you away is no more! Come djambatj and lead the Rripangu to victory!"
The next morning, Yim briefly toys with the idea of staying to help his newfound friends bring down the council of raven's. But he could tell in his dream that Botj's need is just as great. And for Yimayngurr his tribe will always come first.
Arriving back in Daunton he parts ways with the others saying, "Well mates, it's been real. But I been called to help me own people. You mob're plenty strong enough to wipe out a bunch of smelly birds. But, I best be on my way. Look me up if you're ever in Kythira, eh?"
The half-orc then turns away, heading down to the lower docks and his trusty canoe, a spring in his step and a glow in his eye.

The ship turns out to be a tradeship blown off course by a storm and unfamiliar with the local landmarks. They give you passage in exchange for guiding them back to Daunton and a day later, you are waving to the crew as you stride up the pier.
GM: I'll work on the adventure and probably start the new thread this weekend some time, so you guys have a bit to head to tinker with your characters, shop, and visit the tavern if you want, maybe link up with the new characters there.
If you'd rather have your new characters meet up in another fashion, just PM me and we'll talk about working you in along the way instead of in the tavern.

OOC: Scarmiglione is done, approval request sent in, Screamer interview published.
His main motivation at the moment is to get the hell out of Daunton, so I'd prefer it if he skips the tavern entirely and joins the group as they're leaving the city.

Tuesday afternoon Kathy Benedict was putting last-minute touches on some of the craft and flower exhibits she's entering at this weekend's Washington County Fair.
"I'll have about 28 pots of house plants and outside plants this year," she said. "We have to wash the pots and make sure the plants are clean and there are no ants."
Benedict said her "flapjack plant" took best of show at last year's fair.
Article Photos
"It's a succulent plant with pancake-size leaves I grew on my porch," she said. "I also do some silk flower arrangements, wreaths, centerpieces, cornucopias and holiday ornaments."
In addition, for the second year in a row, Benedict will submit a scarecrow she designed for display at the fair's home arts exhibition.
"It's a rabbit farmer scarecrow this year," she said. "Last year I had a scarecrow that was a 'rabbit bridegroom' with a ball and chain around his ankle. And my friend made a 'chicken bride,' complete with a veil and old wedding dress."
Fact Box
If you go
What: Home arts and horticulture displays at the Washington County Fair.
When: All day Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Homemade crafts, canned fruits and vegetables, photography, pumpkins, scarecrows, scrapbooking in the home arts building behind the fair board office near fairgrounds entrance.
Flower show in the merchants hall on bottom floor of the Marietta Roller Rink building west of the midway.
Fresh fruits and vegetables, other arts and decorated table displays in the Junior Fair Building at the southern end of the fairgrounds.
Home arts exhibits may be registered between 2 and 7 p.m. today and Friday at the home arts building.
Exhibits judging takes place at 7 a.m. Saturday.
Information online at washcountyfair.org
Benedict's friend also created a "cow parson" scarecrow to conduct the wedding ceremony.
The unique free-standing scarecrow category exhibit was a brainchild of the late Susie Amrine, a former fair board director, according to Bonnie Gill, current director in charge of the fair's home arts exhibition.
"And people really get creative with those every year," she said.
The scarecrows will be among a whole host of exhibits on display in the home arts building directly behind the fair board office near the fairgrounds entrance.
Gill said other displays will include homemade quilts, rugs, clothing, various crafts items, photography exhibits, and scrapbook pages.
"Scrapbooking seems to have become a very popular category in recent years," she said.
"Everything in home arts has to be homemade within the last couple of years," Gill added. "No purchased items are accepted."
She noted that last year's exhibits included a homemade banjo.
Also housed in the home arts building are traditional county fair exhibits like canned fruits and vegetables and a variety of baked goods.
The building will be closed for judging at 7 a.m. Saturday. Winners receive ribbons for first, second and third place.
But Gill said there will also be exhibits in other buildings during the fair, including fresh vegetables and art displays in the Junior Fair Building as well as a huge flower show in the Merchants Hall on the bottom floor of the roller rink building.
"We've been told our flower show is one of the largest in the state," said Jeremy Barth, a fair board director who also serves on the home arts committee.
He said another big home arts attraction is the annual kids scarred pumpkin display.
"As their pumpkins grow they take a nail and scratch their name or a face into the pumpkin that creates a scar when it's full grown," Barth explained. "Last year we had one pumpkin that looked like Mickey Mouse."
Gill said anyone with homemade exhibits can register them at the home arts building between 2 and 7 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
"Participation seems to fluctuate but there are a wide variety of unique displays every year," she said.

World Donors Urge Power-Sharing Deal For Somalia
STOCKHOLM, Aug 29, 2006 – International donors said on Tuesday they were ready to help rebuild Somalia but only if the interim government and Islamists could agree to share power in the Horn of Africa nation racked by years of violence.
A leading Swedish official acknowledged at an International Contact Group on Somalia meeting that the Islamists, who seized the capital Mogadishu from U.S.-backed warlords and large swathes of the south this year, enjoyed broad public support.
"In order for the Somali people to get a decent life, (the Islamists and interim government) will have to find a way to share power," Swedish International Development Cooperation State Secretary Annika Soder told reporters.
"(The aid) will happen when there is a legitimate and legal transition government to deal with," Soder said on the sidelines of the meeting in Stockholm.
"Unfortunately, our judgment is that there isn't one any longer as the transition institutions, and particularly the transition government, have been seriously weakened and the (Islamists) have broad and deep public support," she said.
Soder said the Contact Group, which includes the United States, European nations, the United Nations, African states and the Arab League, wanted to send a strong signal of support for planned talks in Khartoum this week between Somalia's two sides.
The Islamists' rapid rise has threatened the interim government's authority from its provincial base in the town of Baidoa and triggered widespread fears of a regional conflict. Regional power Ethiopia backs the interim government and Eritrea has been accused of arming the Islamists.
The talks in Khartoum will be the second round between the Islamists and the interim government to try and defuse tensions between the two sides vying for authority in the country, which has been in a state of anarchy since 1991.
Islamists leader Sheikh Sharif Ahmed traveled to Khartoum on Sunday but returned to Mogadishu on Tuesday. Islamists spokesman Abdirahim Ali Muday said Ahmed had gone to Sudan only to prepare the ground and that a delegation would be sent soon.
In June, the interim government and the Islamic Courts movement recognized each other in their first direct high-level talks.
The interim government, formed in 2004 with international backing, has been racked by months of infighting and has been too weak to move from its temporary seat in Baidoa.
Soder said the Contact Group was ready to hold a formal donors' meeting in Rome, led by Sweden and Italy, but that the Khartoum talks were the only obvious path toward solving Somalia's problems.
She did not give any information on how much money was on the table for reconstruction or how it would be distributed.
Somalia has been mired in lawlessness since 1991 when warlords ousted dictator Mohamed Siyad Barre and then began fighting each other for control of the nation of 10 million.
The interim government is the 14th attempt at imposing central rule since then.
Meanwhile, authorities in Mogadishu were struggling to save lives after heavy floods killed at least two children and forced hundreds of refugees to flee makeshift homes.
Floods have wreaked havoc in the Horn of Africa, bringing misery and death in Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan as well as Somalia.

Gainesville, FL - The ninth-ranked University of Florida men's
tennis team travels to Knoxville, Tenn., to compete in the SEC Indoor
Championships, which include both a singles and a doubles draw, from
Jan. 14-17 in the Goodfriend Indoor Tennis Center on the University of
Tennessee campus.
UF looks to build on a strong fall season that saw three players climb
to career-high national rankings, with senior Alexandre Lacroix (Paris,
France) at No. 4 (tied for a career best) and sophomores Sekou Bangoura Jr. (Bradenton, Fla.) and Bob van Overbeek (Boca Raton, Fla.) ranked 28th and 52nd, respectively. That trio combined to go 39-7 (.783) in singles action during the fall season.
Lacroix and former doubles partner and fellow All-American Antoine
Benneteau won the doubles draw at the 2010 SEC Indoor event, while
Bangoura made a run to the singles quarterfinals and the doubles
semifinals in what was the first event of his collegiate career. Also at
the 2010 SEC Indoors, Lacroix advanced to the Round of 16 and both van Overbeek and junior Nassim Slilam (Paris, France) reached the Round of 32.
A live blog of the event will be hosted at UTSports.com, and all scores
will be posted on that website, as well. Score updates will also be
available by following SEC Indoors on Twitter at
twitter.com/SECIndoors2011. A recap of all the Gator scores will also be available each day on gatorzone.com.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete
this wiki
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete is an extended cut of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children based on the successful PlayStation game Final Fantasy VII. It was released on Blu-ray, and includes over thirty minutes of new footage. Included along with the Japanese release was the first playable demo for Final Fantasy XIII.
Though much of the music generally remains the same, many tracks have been modified to accommodate the new scenes, as well as to sound more similar to music from Final Fantasy VII. In addition, a new ending song was written, titled "Safe and Sound", which is exclusive to the Japanese version; the English version plays "Calling" instead of "Safe and Sound".
Advent Children Complete follows the original plot and storyline of Advent Children - three young men arrive at the city of Edge and seek Jenova's remains in order to revive Sephiroth. Cloud, having been infected with the fatal disease Geostigma and distancing himself from his friends and family, is pulled back into battle to stop them and eventually faces Sephiroth once again.
Compared to the original film, Advent Children Complete features a full twenty-six minutes of new footage. The various changes include more scenes with the children, including Denzel and the Moogle Girl, more dialogue with Kadaj and Rufus Shinra to better explain certain plot elements, and some restructured fight scenes. For example, Vincent is visible in his cloak when he saves Cloud, the scene with Tseng and Elena at the Northern Cave is expanded, and Tifa takes a more active role in fighting Bahamut SIN and she is rescued by Cloud.
The film also has higher quality graphics due to the different format, allowing blood and dirt to be shown on the characters. The most obvious change in structure is the climax of Cloud's battle with Sephiroth, with Zack supporting Cloud to finish Sephiroth with Omnislash Version 6. Due to new scenes involving Marlene and Denzel, their aged voice actors were replaced and their scenes entirely re-recorded.
Of particular note is the different ending, based on the original twenty-minute short film Advent Children was based on. After the battle with Sephiroth (which also has a different climax), Cloud is attacked by Loz and Yazoo and apparently killed. Around Edge, phones ring and the unheard speaker tells the children to go the Sector 5 Church.
There, as in the original film, Cloud is revived, and the children reveal they were told to go there by "her", with no additional details given. After the end credits, the cliff where Zack died is shown covered in flowers. Denzel asks Cloud if the cliff is where someone died, but Cloud corrects him and says "it's where a hero began his journey", and the Buster Sword has been restored and placed in the church among the flowers.
At the Tokyo Game Show 2006, Square Enix showed a trailer of a movie titled Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete that is to be released on the blu-ray disc format. New scenes were be added to the movie so it could be called an extended version, however, director Tetsuya Nomura says that "it's not meant to be just an update to the original, but rather a replacement". Nomura has stated the new scenes could add up to as much as thirty minutes of new content. Though originally slated for a 2007 release, the movie was delayed until 2008 and then 2009. The film was released April 16th, 2009, for Japan, and in North America on June 2nd, 2009. Included is a new theme song, "Safe and Sound", a joint-creation of Kyosuke Himuro and Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance, which was only included on the Japanese version.
The film was released in Japan in three bundles. One included a limited edition 160GB "Cloud Black" PlayStation 3 bundle with the Final Fantasy XIII demo, another was the film with the demo, and the last was the stand-alone film. The film also includes an OVA based on On the Way to a Smile: Case of Denzel, along with never-before-seen trailers for Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy Type-0. Nomura also said that Complete may be the last installment of the Compilation for some time, but he and Takeshi Nozue have other ideas and are contemplating another film project.
Differences from Final Fantasy VII: Advent ChildrenEdit
The following is a list of the changes found in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete:
- New exclusive music compositions are added to the film and many of the original are revised. For more details, see Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete Reunion Tracks.

- Reno and Rude talk about their comrades (previously seen in Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-), and atoning for nearly destroying the planet before Kadaj streams through the door in a black mist.
- An additional flashback scene is added, showing how Cloud found Denzel in Sector 5.
- An additional scene shows Denzel running outside thinking he hears Cloud's motorcycle, but seeing Yazoo pass by instead.
- A new scene shows Denzel and the Moogle Girl crossing paths for the first time as she carries her now dead brother through the city streets, while suffering discrimination from spectators.
- An extended flashback of Zack's Final Stand (previously seen in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-) is added with a short voiceover of Sephiroth repeating lines from Final Fantasy VII.
- Zack is redesigned to match his Crisis Core design.
- More details are added to characters in the scene of Tifa and Loz's fight in Sector 5 Church. Both Tifa and Loz accumulate dirt spots. Tifa's disappearing glove issue is also amended, but before the fight starts, Loz's Velvet Nightmare is missing.
- The scene between Denzel and the Moogle Girl outside 7th Heaven (before she leads him to Yazoo's truck) is slightly altered.
- When Cloud passes out next to Tifa, the music track "Anxious Heart" from Final Fantasy VII is played instead of the original "Water" track.
- A new scene shows Cloud preparing to bring Denzel to Tifa after finding him in Sector 5.
- A new scene shows Denzel and the Moogle Girl being taken away in Yazoo's truck with other Geostigma-afflicted children.
- More explanation about Kadaj's plans is given when Loz brings the materia and Marlene to the Forgotten Capital. During the scene, Marlene briefly attempts to escape.
- A brief new scene shows Kadaj speaking to Jenova as the inflicted children drink from the water in the Forgotten Capital.
- The scene of Vincent's intervention in the battle of the Forgotten Capital clearly shows Vincent's face.
- The dialog between Reno, Rude, Yazoo, and Loz at the Meteor Monument is slightly altered.
- New scene shows Cloud dropping off Marlene at 7th Heaven, where they discuss why he left them.
- The scene between Rufus and Kadaj before he summons Bahamut SIN is altered to remove all indiscriminate flashback images. The dialog itself is altered. Music track is removed from the scene.
- A flashback scene of Denzel watching the news about Sector 7's destruction is added.
- Extended scene shows Tifa fighting Shadow Creepers to protect Denzel.
- The introduction scene of the former AVALANCHE members is altered.
- Cloud's arrival scene is altered to that of showing him saving both Denzel and Tifa. His memories of failing to save Zack and Aerith are shown synchronously as a symbol of him finally acknowledging his own abilities.
- New scene shows Denzel making his way back to 7th Heaven and confronting a pair of Shadow Creepers along the way. This scene shows the extreme vulnerability of Shadow Creepers to the water.
- As the battle goes on, Bahamut SIN accumulates scratches, fractures, cuts and burns.
- All fighting characters receive scratches, wounds and spots of dirt during their battles. Tifa and Yuffie receives spots of dirt on their cheeks and dresses. Cid's shirt shows perspiration and his face becomes very dirty. Red XIII is charred in two spots. Rude and Reno categorically accumulate dirt all over and bleed. Only Loz and Yazoo remain largely pristine.
- Tseng and Elena are shown arriving on the scene to save Rufus, both bandaged and patched for their injuries from the Northern Crater and the subsequent torture.
- An additional scene shows Rufus directing the Turks to help Cloud.
- The highway chase event features comedy scenes involving Reno and Rude's attempt to assist Cloud by attacking Loz and Yazoo with a Shinra Military Transport Helicopter and a missile launcher. After miserably failing and crash the helicopter, they are picked up and air dropped to the other end of the highway tunnel by Tseng and Elena instead of making it there on their own.
- Sephiroth's Masamune is given a new resonating sound effect.
- The denouement of the battle between Cloud and Sephiroth is extended: Instead of being thrown against a wall and impaled in the shoulder, Cloud is thrown into a pile of rubble. He recovers and attempts the original Omnislash limit break. It fails when Sephiroth impales him midair, in a scene that resemble his original impalement during the Nibelheim Incident. (Sephiroth comments on it.) Sephiroth reveals his wing, throws Cloud into the air, executes a vicious variation of Octaslash on him and throws him to the ground in a pool of his own blood.
- The original scene of Cloud remembering what he cherishes is extended with Zack appearing (apparently, only to Cloud alone) to give Cloud some encouragement, reminding him he must "protect his SOLDIER honor" and that he is his "living legacy" (previously heard in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-).
- Cloud's execution of Omnislash Version 5 is more detailed.
- Cloud bleeds from the gunshot he receives from Yazoo.
- After Cloud's apparent death, phones ring around Edge and the unheard voice tells everyone to go to the Sector 5 Church, in addition to Marlene meeting the Moogle Girl.
- Flowers are shown growing on Zack's grave. A short voiceover dialog between Denzel and Cloud is featured. The Buster Sword is shown to have been cleaned and moved to the Sector 5 Church.

After nine long months, pregnancy will come to an end, and the moment you've been looking forward to - welcoming your son or daughter into the world - will soon arrive. With that said, there will be lots of new firsts and exciting moments causing adrenaline to surge through your body. This is why it's important for you to get some rest after giving birth.
Let's face it, you've probably been pretty tired: During pregnancy, your growing baby caused a flux of new hormones, some of which have given you food cravings, mood swings and insomnia. With all these changes occurring in your body, you can also get worn out. In addition, the anticipation of giving birth is enough to keep you up at night.
Try not to get overwhelmed
For the first few weeks after you take your baby home, you may want to allow yourself some much deserved rest while your newborn is still sleeping a lot during the day. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers some recommendations for new moms. For instance, little things like limiting the number of guests that come to see your little one and the length of their stay can go a long way - the last thing you need is to create a stressful environment for you and your baby. Also, you shouldn't have to worry about keeping the house meticulously organized and clean - no one will blame you if you let yourself go a little until you get situated and refreshed enough to start the new chapter in your life.
What's most important is to ensure that you're not pushing yourself too much. You can always ask your partner or a family member for a little help with household chores and running errands.
Slow down and breath
Finally, whenever you get a chance, take some time to allow yourself to breathe. This is a time for you to really focus on taking care of your new baby and yourself. You should be able to do what you need to and not feel bad about it. Now that you're not eating for two, try to get back to a healthy and well-balanced diet and maybe slowly ease into physical activity so you can begin to lose any gained pregnancy weight once your healthcare provider gives you the okay.
How did you focus on resting your body after pregnancy? Did you feel better? Leave your answers in the comments section!

Jason and Rose Barnett believed hunter Simon Connor to be dead and gone. But Jason continues to have strange dreams, which reveal something that could destroy the Paranormal Research and Development Institute and tear relationships apart.
Jason becomes a vigilante, fueled by his growing psychic powers that tell him something—or someone—is still out there. Rose, no longer able to stand by while her mate destroys their lives, begins her own struggle to save what little relationship they have left, before it's too late.
Then the unthinkable happens. A stunning eye-opener and an unexpected attack once again threaten their existence, and the rift between Jason and Rose becomes irreparable as their tumultuous past once again surfaces and their future becomes increasingly bleak.
This title contains the following: graphic language, explicit violence and several graphic forced sexual encounters.

a3 Department of Nutrition, University of Massachusetts, 100 Holdsworth Way, Amherst, MA 01003, USA
Objective To demonstrate how dietary data collected from 24-hour dietary recalls were incorporated into the development of a quantitative food-frequency questionnaire (QFFQ) for the Apache in Arizona.
Design A cross-sectional study was first conducted using 24-hour dietary recalls to identify foods for inclusion on a QFFQ that would be used to evaluate a nutrition intervention.
Setting The White Mountain and San Carlos Apache reservations in East-central Arizona.
Subjects The 24-hour dietary recalls were collected from a random sample of 53 adults (34 women and 19 men).
Results A QFFQ was developed that included all foods reported by two or more respondents, plus traditional and seasonal foods. Portion size was assessed using familiar household units and culturally appropriate food models. The final instrument contains 155 foods. Frequency of consumption is assessed using eight categories ranking from 'never or less than once a month' to '2 or more times a day'. Nutrient intakes and the five major food sources of energy, fat and sugar are presented.
Conclusion The QFFQ developed is complete and up-to-date for assessing usual food and nutrient intake for the Apache in Arizona. The instrument will be used to evaluate a food store-based nutrition intervention to reduce risk of chronic diseases.

Movies try and tell us every couple of years what it is like to be a "hacker." I have seen all of these movies and therefore am a 1337lolhxzorz that can take down the military by plugging the tip of my wiener into a pay phone and making sweet love to the telnet (use that last sentence next time you talk to a girl, which is probably rare). Here is a brief guide on how to be a malicious cyber warrior straight out of the movies…
Dress the Part
In the movies, which we all know only tell the truth and never fib (unless it's labeled documentary, then it's a total lie), hackers always look cool and cybernetic. They wear sunglasses that are thin like Cyclops from X-Men and have many bracelets that have gadgets and gizmos (some even tell time!). So what are you going to do to become awesome and instantly smart? First get out there and hit Sharper Image. They have all the useless junk you need to pull off your illegal hacking (or just get kicked out because you enjoy the massage chair too much, like me). Next is to hit the Apple store and buy small, flashy pieces of technology that will totally put you above everyone else in the field. Don't worry about the bills that will pile up, you'll be rolling in internationally stolen cash soon. This is the cool version of a hacker. If you want go for a different stereotypical hacker look you can simply grab a Mountain Dew and constantly have Doritos residue on your fingertips (Augustus, save some for later!). For the latter you will only need a lack of hygiene and some form of diabetes.
Learn the Tricks of the Trade
How are you going to hack things when you can barely check your email? Simple, Google it. Everyone knows that Googling things is the easiest and most efficient way to information about anything (you also need not worry about them tracking you, we all know Google is completely anonymous). Need to know if girls have Adam's apples on the fly? Google. Need to understand how to say "I want your finger inside my One Ring" in Elvish? Google. Same goes for hacking. Just simply type in "How to steal credit card information" into Google and bam! You just got visually seduced with criminal knowledge. Don't have Internet access and you're reading this article at the local library or in class, because you love me so much you go to these places just to Google me every couple of days? (No? Okay.) Watch movies. You can rent them from the library or from a video store. They will teach you more than anything. Oh and get some Internet, I'm still using a bunch of old AOL free months I got in the mail back in the '90s. Or by cable internet and use Internet Explorer, it's so much better than everything else (said no one ever except Microsoft who is in denial).
Get Busy Hacking
Okay so you have brushed up on your hacker trivia. You can now wax poetic about technology and its role in the world. You impress your friends and loved ones with your intimate knowledge of ports. Now it's time to get hacking for real. As you know from your research, hacking involves a lot of random code flying by very fast. You're going to want to practice your speed-reading if you're going to figure out how to computer. Pretty much all you have to do is go to "command prompt" on a Windows machine or Terminal on a Mac and type is random gibberish. This is how hackers do it in the movies. You'll get a bunch of errors like "Command not found." This is good news. You're totally hacking above the limits of modern technology!
Now Hit the Streets
In many hacker movies you see people plug into a payphone and "phreak" the frequencies to do different things (phreak that freq, you freaky bastard). Just remember to always have a recorder with a dial tone simulated in your pocket to hold up to the mouthpiece (bulge +1, ladies). Now I'm guessing you're in a pretty bad part of town because pay phones are on the way out. You're going to want to look around for people with guns. They want to stop your hacking and not compliment your awesome outfit (tell them you're lost and they will totally help you get home). After you plug into the phone you'll realize that you are now flying through the wires of the telephone system. This is normal. You're going to want to copy the "trash file" and keep it on a 3.5'' floppy (solid 5 when hard) disc. Keep this disc in a secure place, I suggest in a faux ceiling.
Dealing with the FBI
Now all hackers have to deal with the feds on occasion. Usually its because they are totally baffled by the technological orgasm you gave to a computer system by flying through wires like you freshly came out of Wreck-It Ralph and stole all the nonsense files they have saved in their trash bin. This will go one of two ways. They will either offer you a job as a Senior Cyber Security Officer and pay for you to keep America safe from Nigerian Kings trying to steal your grandmother's identity, or another hacker will get to you before the feds. There is always a cooler hacker. He has the cooler Macbook Pro, the better glasses, and even worse hygiene. He may even be a girl with blonde dreadlocks. Hacking is always a war of information and controlling the flow of it. There are multiple hackers trying to get the same prize. This means you have competition. So follow this guide and show those script kiddies who's boss. Oh yeah, and Google script kiddie. P.S. – Females do not have Adam's apples, trust me on this.

Once Again A Virus Targets The KaZaA Network - Duload
Once Again A Virus Targets The KaZaA Network - Duload
Kaspersky Lab reports the detection of the network worm Duload, which is spreading across the KaZaA file-exchange network. Presently Kaspersky Lab has already received several registered instances of infection in Italy.
The worm itself is a Windows (PE EXE) application written in Visual Basic. Currently two modifications of the Duload worm are known, each having a different file size:
If the infected attachment is accidentally opened "Duload" copies itself to the Windows system directory under the name "SystemConfig.exe" and modifies the system registry so that this file automatically loads each time Windows is started.
Next, the Duload worm creates a folder in the Windows directory called "Media" and copies itself to this directory under 39 different names. Such as:
- Pamela Anderson And Tommy Lee Home Video.exe
- Alicia Silverstone Payboy Nude.exe
- Kama Sutra Tetris.exe
- Soldier Of Fortune 2 Mutiplayer Serial Hack.exe
- The Sims Game Crack.exe
- Warcraft 3 Battle.net Crack.exe
"Duload" then once again modifies the system registry in order to make the "Media" folder accessible to all other KaZaA network users.
One modification of the worm (Worm.P2P.Duload.a) also downloads from an Internet site several Trojan programs designed to establish the unauthorized remote management of victim computers.
The defense against "Duload" has already been added to the Kaspersky Lab Anti-virus database.
More detailed information regarding the Duload network worm can be found in the Kaspersky Lab Virus Encyclopedia.

Have you tried a modern distro or at least the latest 2.4.xx kernel? 7.2
hasn't been supported for many years. I suspect that you don't have a lot
of RAM on that thing so you will need a lightweight distro like Puppy or
DSL, Xbuntu might work also. Alternatively you could compile a kernel
yourself. The latest 2.4.xx kernel will have much more recent drivers
than the kernel in RH7.2

For a few years I've been playing an electric that I've never really liked. There were some things I wasn't sure about and I went for safe solutions so the result wasn't optimal...
Now finally it's seems like I'm about to start the making of a new fivestring instrument which will be a realization of the electric fiddle I actually want to play. A very simple construction with a solid body similar to Les Paul Junior. The construction of the bridge is however very essential for a solid body instrument, so I'll spend some extra time and money on that particular detail.
I'd like the bridge to be adjustable so I can try different string heights. I also play doublestops most of the time, so even if the instrument is fretless, I like proper intonation. My idea is using ABM singlestring bridges made for electric guitar. Each string saddle is a bridge of its own, adjustable in two dimensions. The adjustability isn't limitless of course so they must be placed on an arched surface. Also, the intonation needs some compensating, placing the C bridge farther back than the E bridge..
My biggest problem is how to find the proper positions. There will be now tailpiece, so I'm not sure how to find the right place for each saddle. I can't tune the string when it's not anchored... Making the proper arch of the wooden block that will serve as bridge foundation will also be a problem for the same reason.
Any ideas?

Unexpected stimuli are a challenge to any machine learning algorithm. Here, we identify distinct types of unexpected events when general-level and specific-level classifiers give conflicting predictions. We define a formal framework for the representation and processing of incongruent events: Starting from the notion of label hierarchy, we show how partial order on labels can be deduced from such hierarchies. For each event, we compute its probability in different ways, based on adjacent levels in the label hierarchy. An incongruent event is an event where the probability computed based on some more specific level is much smaller than the probability computed based on some more general level, leading to conflicting predictions. Algorithms are derived to detect incongruent events from different types of hierarchies, different applications, and a variety of data types. We present promising results for the detection of novel visual and audio objects, and new patterns of motion in video. We also discuss the detection of Out-Of-Vocabulary words in speech recognition, and the detection of incongruent events in a multimodal audiovisual scenario.

"the expected increase in rural demands, followed by good agriculture sector performance, reduction in petroleum and diesel prices and also recovery signs in global economy might help industrial sector to recover," it said. "various proposals in the budget might help industrial sector to recover," ieg said. the economic think-tank, however, cautioned that demand constraints and low business confidence might have a negative impact on iip growth. inflation rate based on whole-sale price index was pegged at about 1.0 per cent during january-march 2002, while it was likely to be 4.5 per cent based on consumer price index, it said. money supply is also slated to fall to 13.63 per cent in april from 13.9 per cent in january. on the external front, ieg said exports would grow at an average 6.0 per cent during february-april as compared to 1.56 per cent during april-january this fiscal, while imports were slated to grow by 1.0 per cent. rupee is likely to slide further to rs 49.5 a dollar in june from rs 48.74 in februray 2002. the rupee was pegged at rs 49.09 a dollar in april and rs 49.34 in may.

As per surveys, Netbooks are being used primarily for business,
entertainment and communication and it's being seen as a secondary
device. I've covered that in more detail here:
Since it's not replacing the laptop, I think what's basically missing
is a phone added to the mix. I don't see why users will want to carry
mobile, netbook and laptop at the same time. I foresee a Nokia
communicator type device with decent screen size and usable keypad to
overtake the Netbook just like Smarphones overtook the PDA. The
software being used will need to be adopted for this new phone, that
said, software to do all the above already exists for mobiles, it just
needs to be made more easy to use.
With larger screen size and better keyboard I don't see a reason why
we'll not see Netbooks being phased out to give way for the next
generation of mobile phones.
Is this thought too outlandish? What do you think?
Sachendra Yadav
I think the biggest problem is size. People want phones on them at all
times, so they need to be pocketable. At that size you're not going to get
more than a 'thumb' keyboard, like the G1 or Blackberry. Such keyboards are
fine for the odd email or text, but they don't cut it when it comes to
serious typing tasks like writing articles, or coding.
Netbooks are great because they are extremely portable (although not
pocketable) and yet are big enough for many tasks, such as programming. In
fact, early netbooks were smaller (7/9 inch) and the market seems to have
stabilised at the slightly larger 10", since you get a nearly full-size
I don't see that total convergence is really possible due to the size issue.
