River Reaches High Water Equilibrium [AUDIO]
The North Platte River is flowing very high through Casper, just a few inches below flood stage. Natrona County Emergency Management Coordinator Lt. Stewart Anderson said with the spring runoff release at Grey Reef continuing, the river is precariously high and what we need is cool weather without a lot of precipitation.
Eight feet is flood stage:
"Bureau of Rec is releasing 8,000 cubic feet per second and as it reaches Casper here, they've done some adjustments and re-sychronized the gauge. Right now we're picking up 8,187 cubic feet a second, so we're only picking up just about 200 cubic feet a second. And then foot-wise here in town, we're at 7 point 6-9 feet."
They will be moving this amount of water downstream for weeks into the future, says Lt. Anderson.
Still record snow-pack:
"According to our latest briefing, the Bureau of Rec is planning to keep that flow at that level all this month and a little bit into July, but again, weather dependent, whether it gets real hot, whether it gets hot and rains, whether we get heavy rains, that could all be dependent on what flows through here in Casper."
When asked if the short term forecast predicting no excessively warm days or major precipitation meant we could relax, Lt. Anderson said no.
Too early, water too high:
"We're going to have a very high river for a while and we're still on guard for it coming up even more. We're not going to relax until the melt is gone and things are stabilized and flows are reduced."

Henry K. Beecher and Maurice H. Pappworth were the 2 most prominent medical whistleblowers in research ethics of the 20th century. Independently, both wrote highly controversial and ultimately influential articles and books. Although their work is now well-known in clinical research circles, their collaboration is not. Pappworth's article "Human Guinea Pigs: A Warning" was published in 1962; in it, he discussed a series of published studies that he considered unethical. Beecher read it and wrote to Pappworth seeking help. The current article reconstructs, from Beecher and Pappworth's correspondence in 1965–1966, an important juncture in the genesis of modern clinical research ethics. Although they shared much in common, they differed radically in the strategies they adopted: Beecher chose to conceal the identities of individuals, whereas Pappworth believed that only by naming and shaming could any exposé act as a deterrent. Their correspondence reveals how the 2 men shared their ideas and their material and provided each other with much-needed support. It also tracks the development of Beecher's shift from a position initially indistinguishable from Pappworth's toward the one he adopted when his seminal article of 1966 was published.

Allam Gaw's report of the Beecher-Pappworth correspondence deserves widespread discussion, for unless academic physicians over and over again discuss sins of the past, how can we hope to prevent them in the future?
A 1947 graduate of Harvard Medical School, and intern at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in the mid-1940's, I remember learning of an unspoken though implicit medical compact between ward patients and hospital doctors: we took care of them for free, and in return they gave us their bodies to study.
Did I "learn" that - did someone say it out loud- or was it in the air? Too much time has passed for me to be sure, but somewhere in that developing academic scene, it became evident that our "labs" were not only rooms with benches and hoods, but also rooms with patients and beds. Patients could be our subjects for study--therapeutic and more. How else could Minot and Murphy have won the Nobel Prize for treating pernicious anemia?
Another hint of this linkage between patient care and scientific study comes from an old plaque at Yale on the ground floor of the Hope Building, in 1901 erected as the "Dispensary" (Clinic) of Yale Medical School. It reads, in part: "This building has been erected by her daughter for the relief of the poor and the advancement of medical science."
My physician teachers back in Boston were, almost all, respectful of their patients, considerate, competent, and compassionate, and we learned how to care for our patients from their example. But we had no such idea as "informed consent," burnished in the 1960's - I like to think- by Jay Katz at Yale Law School.
When Pappworth came out with his reports, most of us resisted any suggestion that in our studies we were like the Nazi doctors -who intended the death of their imprisoned subjects.
None declared
Gaw's comparison of Beecher and Pappworth is instructive. However, while he ably detailed the reasons why their approach to divulging names of unethical researchers might have differed, I believe there is one he failed to give proper weight. Pappworth, a Jew who (Gaw notes) directly experienced anti-Semitism in his professional life, was also a war veteran. Thus the Holocaust perpetrated against the Jews and other minorities must have been prominent in his moral outlook, and the comparison between ethical violators in Britain and the US, and Nazi doctors, not merely a rhetorical exaggeration.
While the principles of research bioethics required formulation by Beecher and Pappworth, among others, it required moral sensitivity to realize the enormity of the violations. Such sensitivity - at least in Pappworth's case - might have been supplied not by abstract conceptions, but by very concrete history that was not so very long past.
Today we would also do well to keep in mind past violations (by our profession and others) as we keep an eye out for present ethical dangers.

Posted in: 3D Operations Center, Energy Management, Instrumenting the planet, Shaspa, Smart Building16 12, 2012.
Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr and Google Latitude are examples of modern communication channels that create collective power for change. Shaspa social networks create opportunities for collective creativity in the development and visualisation of next generation Shaspa applications, which bring societal benefits through collective action and responsibility.
These consumer technologies are having an impact on our social and commercial relationships in virtual environments, often in opposition to how we operate in the physical world. These virtual shared spaces deliver an increasingly personalised and persistent experience by successfully encouraging the sharing of personal and day-to-day activities with a growing network of other people who then are able to share other personal information.
This offers a personalised and persistent experience which 'rewards' users for sharing information by delivering added value and enabling the individual user to better manage their network of relationships. This sharing of information and the value it brings to support social and commercial relationships is largely absent in physical spaces, although it does exist in places like clubs, societies and churches. Shaspa brings these attributes to physical spaces. Share information from your home or office energy use (and savings!) out to your social networks. See how your energy consumption compares with others. Challenge your friends, family and classmates to make their physical spaces more efficient.

The Disintegration of Labor Law: Some Notes for a Comparative Study of Legal Transformation
Thomas C. Kohler
Boston College - Law School
Notre Dame Law Review, Vol. 73, pp. 1311-1332, 1998
While acknowledging the difficulties inherent in a comparative approach to labor and employment ordering issues, the author argues that our times and circumstances force us to consider such a perspective. This essay looks at the some of the background and characteristics of the labor law regimes of the United States and Germany to reflect on where we have been and where we might be going, and concludes that we stand at the edge of a new world, one that may well entail a new culture of work and new ways of being for all its inhabitants.

The Raiders welcomed five new players Saturday to complete a six-man draft class, and general manager Reggie McKenzie conceded, "It remains to be seen how good they'll be, but we anxiously await their presence."
As for the impending signing of former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Matt Leinart as reported by ESPN, not so fast.
"We're bringing Matt in for a tryout," McKenzie said. "Signing and all of that, that's secondary. ... We want to take a closer look at him, watch him throw the ball and see how his injury has come around."
Leinart broke the collarbone on his left (throwing) shoulder Nov. 27 during his first start for the Houston Texans and is familiar with the offensive system, much of which was imported by offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, a Texans assistant last season.
New to the Oakland roster are fourth-round pick Miles Burris, a linebacker out of San Diego State; fifth-round picks Jack Crawford and Justin Criner, the former a defensive end from Penn State, the latter a wide receiver from Arizona; sixth-round choice Christo Bilukidi, a defensive tackle from Georgia State; and seventh-round pick Nathan Stupar, a linebacker from Penn State.
They joined Utah guard Tony Bergstrom, who was drafted Friday night with the final pick of the third round. Bergstrom toured the facility Saturday and met with the media.
The Raiders entered the day with only four picks but swapped their spot at No. 148 to the Detroit Lions in return for Nos. 158 and 230, giving them a seventh-round pick.
Burris, who will play outside linebacker, and Criner, who had 22 touchdown receptions in two years, have the most collegiate experience and might be able to contribute right away.
Burris, a two-time All-Mountain West Conference selection from Granite Bay in the Sacramento area, played in a 3-3-5 defense he believes prepared him well for the NFL.
"I was able to line up all over the field, blitz off the edge, line up on the tight end, outside of the box, inside the box, blitz from the inside, play Tampa 2 coverage, so I got to do a little bit of everything," he said.
Criner, 6-foot-3, 224 pounds, was projected to go as high as the second round by some draft analysts but dropped because of a 4.68 time in the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine. He went in hoping to run under 4.5.
"I would just say that there's a difference between playing on the field and having field speed as opposed to straight-line speed," Criner said.
Crawford (6-5, 274) and Bilukidi (6-5, 290) both began playing football late in high school after being basketball players. Crawford was born in London and moved to New Jersey with a host family in part to play basketball.
Bilukidi was born in Angola, lives in Ottawa and has lived in France and Brazil. He ended up at Georgia State by way of Eastern Arizona Junior College.
"All these guys, to a certain degree, they're going to have to be brought along," McKenzie said. "The D-linemen, they did get into football late. But they are very good prospects, so even though they're a little raw, we feel like we can coach those guys up, and they eventually will be pretty good players."
Stupar, a college teammate of Crawford's as well as Raiders second-year center Stefen Wisniewski, was selected with the seventh-round pick acquired from Detroit.
"It's ongoing until we have a signed document," McKenzie said. "It's a constant struggle because you have the recruiting part of it. It gets competitive."
The Raiders don't expect to release information on undrafted free agents until their rookie minicamp the weekend of May 12 when players are on the premises, have passed physicals and have signed their contracts.

Seismic demographic, political and economic shifts are demanding radical changes to global healthcare systems.
With administrators under pressure to cut costs, physicians being pushed to work more collaboratively and new technologies in need of commercialisation, the skills acquired on an MBA look increasingly relevant. For business schools able to offer the right courses, this is a big opportunity.
"Clearly you need skills in entrepreneurship, in how to be innovative and in how to scale something up in a cost-effective way," says Regina Herzlinger, a Harvard Business School professor widely recognised for her healthcare research. "Those skills are not traditionally taught on healthcare administration courses – those are skills that business schools focus on."
The need for business innovation in healthcare has never been so urgent. In Europe, cash-strapped governments with ageing populations are struggling to meet demand for increasing levels of care without pushing up spending. In response, the drive is for greater efficiency and collaboration between different practitioners and specialists. "The healthcare system is about much more than just treating patients," says Steve Chick, head of the Healthcare Management Initiative at Insead, which runs executive programmes for practitioners and policy makers. "The co-ordination of care is critical and that's where business schools can play a big role.'
In the UK the severe budgetary squeeze on the National Health Service at a time of increasing demand for healthcare means NHS leaders need to do more with less.
"The current decade ... is presenting those leading healthcare with the biggest challenges we've seen since the establishment of the NHS," says Chris Ham, chief executive of the King's Fund, a leading healthcare think-tank.
Meanwhile, emerging markets – many of which are still combating infectious diseases and infant mortality – face an additional burden in the rising incidence of conditions such as cancer and diabetes.
Perhaps the most radical changes are taking place in the US. Healthcare in the country – public and private – is now 17.9 per cent of GDP, against 9.3 per cent in the UK, according to data from the World Bank.
Sweeping reforms in the US under the Affordable Care Act are reshaping care delivery and health insurance. With costs rising and mergers creating supersized hospital groups, a once fragmented industry is increasingly made up of large networks requiring accomplished leaders.
"There will be more positions within those systems that will attract MBA talent and for which their skills are relevant," says June Kinney, associate director for the MBA in Health Care Management at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton school.
The transformation of US healthcare systems is changing the kinds of candidates institutions are looking for, says Andrew Chastain, managing partner at Witt/Kieffer, an executive search firm focusing on healthcare. Consolidation and reforms are generating demand for executives skilled in operations, finance, supply chain management and IT.
Consolidation is also bringing to an end the days when senior healthcare executives were responsible for managing everything from operations to finance and strategy. "Those are getting sucked up to corporate, as you'd see in any market that starts to consolidate," says Mr Chastain.
If positions for mainstream MBA graduates are growing in the healthcare sector, an increasing number of medical professionals are looking to pursue a health-focused MBA.
With its MBA Health Sector Management programme, The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University is among a number of schools offering MBAs – some run jointly with medical schools – designed for healthcare professionals. At Harvard Business School's Health Initiative, an MBA caters to students from fields such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals insurance and public health, and the school has several courses on entrepreneurship in healthcare. More recently, executive programmes have been emerging. Indiana University's Kelley School of Business has just launched a two-year Business of Medicine MBA for practising physicians who are moving into leadership positions.
But if they are to keep up with the sector's growing demand for management education, business schools will have to expand dramatically the number and type of programmes they offer healthcare professionals. This will not be easy. Given the highly specialised nature of healthcare and the range of professional roles it encompasses – from surgeons to insurance brokers – schools will find it tough to recruit faculty staff capable of teaching the necessary skills.
"The challenge for business schools is to take what they know and adapt it to healthcare," says Prof Herzlinger. "What's needed is a lot of specific knowledge."
A cultural shift will also be required before the MBA becomes a degree to which doctors or health administrators naturally turn. In the US, healthcare management education is largely provided by schools of public health and healthcare administration, not business schools.
In the UK, says Mr Ham, relatively few healthcare leaders have opted for a business school course. "Historically, MBAs were not seen in the NHS as having value," he explains.
Academics and policy makers believe this needs to change. And given the sector's size (it is the biggest employer in some markets) and the challenges it faces, management education could play an important role in equipping the next generation of leaders and introducing new business models to healthcare systems.
"This is a huge opportunity for business schools," says Prof Herzlinger. "There's a serious mismatch between what the people who are changing healthcare need and the kind of education that's being provided."
School alliance to tackle healthcare issues
If business schools are to meet increasing demand for healthcare-focused management education, they will need to join forces. This is the thinking behind the Business School Alliance for Health Management, a non-profit consortium of leading US business schools. Members include Harvard Business School, Kellogg School of Management, the Wharton school at the University of Pennsylvania and the Yale School of Management.
To help address the shortfall in academics capable of teaching MBA programmes to healthcare professionals, BAHM is developing a teaching faculty network. It also runs doctoral student "webinars".
The alliance has recently launched a journal, Healthcare Management, Policy and Innovation, intended to present research and ideas on improvements in management practices and public policy.
The journal fills an important gap, says Kevin Schulman, director of the health sector management programme at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, an alliance member.
"If you submit your papers to clinical journals, they say it's too business-focused. If you submit them to business journals, they say it's too healthcare-focused."
Guiding BAHM's activities is the idea that management education, when applied to healthcare delivery, can accelerate innovation. Prof Schulman says this means encouraging senior physicians and administrators to look at business processes and solutions outside their sector that could be applied to healthcare.

is it possible? is there a hack out to do this?
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
is it possible? is there a hack out to do this?
WTF is IPB?
http://www.ipb.org/web/index.php ?
http://www.invisionboard.com/ ?
http://www.ipb.com/scripts/default.asp ?
And where do I sign up for WP 5.0????? ;)
IPB as in invision power board.
as for wordpress 5.0 *wipes pie off face*
i meant wordpress 1.5. :D
I think he means a interface between the userbase of Invision and WordPress - and although this is possible, it is devilishly hard and there is no way I am going to try it. For anybody who *DOES* want to try, I would suggest tying the User Group in Invision and correlate it to the user rank in WordPress (whatever its called) and use the Invision system as the main one, instead of combining the info for the two. Also possible would be to use the IPB SDK (google it) and modify the wp-Login.php to authenticate them with Invision at the same time as WordPress - this, however, would require you to modify the Invision files to point to the wp-login file instead of the Invision index.php?act=login&code=01... yah way to much work for so litle benefit. Easier would be to have the comments disabled, and auto-post an invision post in the news section when you make a WP post, and have the comments lead to that post so they can reply there.
Search first lol
Also, if anybody finds such a thing, I am looking for a WordPress theme that looks like Invision, or vice-versa... I would love an e-mail if anybody finds that:

Hey Silverside, any idea how I could "autopost" my wordpress posts into IPB? I'm very new at both wordpress and IPB and would really like to set something like this up between my blog and forums. Thanks!
Hi, Look at my site: http://www.ssdesigninteractive.com/ssdesign
Click the FORUM tab at the top menu.
The way I achieved it is, I created a wrapper for IPB which looks like my WP Blog skin.
Thats it :)
note: I have'nt integrated the login systems of the two applications, if that is what u r looking for..
Slick. No, I'm not looking to add a log in to the front page. it just seems unecessary for what I'm trying to do. people can log in on the forums page if they want to use the forums.
What I was more asking though was how I can write a message in wordpress, hit "publish" and have it simultaneously appear as a new thread in a specified IPB forum. This would seem possible with RSS somehow...thoughts? You used the word "autopost" above and I assumed you were referring to some type of double posting mechanism like that.

3 = Hyperactive
4 = Clonus (rhythmic contractions) -- you see these in upper motor neuron lesions such as in spinal cord injury patients -- when you test the reflex arcs whose integration centers are below the level of the injury. The injury cuts the descending, inhibitory fibers that normally keep our reflexes in check. That's the whole thing behind spastic paralysis... as opposed to flaccid paralysis, which is a lower motor neuron problem.

· Proportion of neurons in cerebellum. 100 billion according to "The cerebellum: the brain's engine of agility," Science 281:1588-90, 11 Sep 1998. Afifi & Bergman, p. 311, say the cerebellum contains over 50% of all neurons of the brain. A. Parent, Carpenter's Human Neuroanatomy, 9/e, says cerebellum is 10% of brain mass but contains almost 50% of its neurons.
· Cerebellum, functions. There is evidence that the cerebellum is involved in more than motor control; may also be involved in cognition. Patients with cerebellar lesions perform poorly on nonmotor tasks, and PET scans show increased cerebellar activity in association with analysis of sensory input, telling time, and solving spatial puzzles. If a person is given a noun and asked to think of a related verb, such as eat for apple, the cerebellum shows higher activity than if the person is just told to repeat apple. Solving a pegboard puzzle causes much more cerebellar activity than control tasks such as moving pegs randomly around on the same puzzle board. Rubbing sandpaper over a subject's fingers activates the cerebellum to a degree, but not as much as when the subject is asked to rate the relative coarseness of 2 different sandpapers. Cerebellar lesions interfere with ability to judge time elapsed between 2 tones. Very controversial; some neurobiologists still do not believe it is involved in any more than motor coordination. Science 272:482-483, 26 April 1996; Afifi & Bergman, pp. 326-327. Role in making short-term predictions about movement, such as anticipating where a tennis ball will be in the next second, anticipating the position of prey, predicting how much the eyes must move to remain fixed on a point in response to a head movement: Science 282:224-225, 9 October 1998.

217 Lab Final
217L Human Anatomy and Physiology I Lab
Course Objectives: The Biol 217-218 two semester course sequence offers a comprehensive study of human anatomy and physiology at the cell, tissue, and organ system levels of organization. The first semester topics include cells, cell metabolism, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, and endocrine systems. Dissection of preserved mammalian specimens is required.
If you take A&P, you need to take both semesters. The Biol 217-218 sequence is a Group I Biology Elective designed for pre-nursing, pre-physical therapy, pre-pharmacy, pre-optometry, and other pre-health students as well as students preparing for secondary school teaching in biology. Students who want the strongest preparation for medical school, dental school, or other graduate school programs in biology should select upper division biology courses including BIOL 312 (Human Physiology) instead of the Biol 217-218 sequence. Consult your academic advisor to be certain that Biol 217-218 is the best course selection for you.
Prerequisites: BIOL 111 and 112 (Principles of Biology I and II and their laboratory courses) and Chem 113 (Principles of Chemistry I and lab). Students who have not achieved grades of "C" or better in each of the prerequisite courses are advised to repeat the necessary courses before attempting further coursework in biology. BIOL 217, BIOL 217L and Chem 113 and Lab are prerequisites for BIOL 218 and BIOL 218L (offered Spring semester).

Environment, bisphenol A, plastics, chemical, health
The lumbering Food and Drug Administration is finally showing signs that it may take action on bisphenol A, better known as BPA. The FDA announced yesterday that it is reviewing new studies of the chemical and expects to rule by November 30 on whether BPA is safe for food and beverage containers, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
That's too slow for some activists, such as scientist Olga Naidenko of the Environmental Working Group, which has long fought for a BPA ban. The FDA is "working to stall science rather than advance it," she tells the newspaper.
But other observers such as Liz Hitchcock, a lobbyist with the Public Interest Research Group, "were heartened that the FDA was taking another look," writes the Journal Sentinel.
The Milwaukee paper has been on top of the story for a while, having published an investigative series about BPA and other pervasive household chemicals. Among other angles, the stories have called out the FDA for relying on studies financed by the plastics industry and dug up e-mails showing collusion between FDA scientists and lobbyists for BPA makers in writing safety guidelines. This is the kind of invaluable investigative journalism that's fast disappearing.
The FDA's review will include more than 100 new studies.

NEW DELHI: India plans to suspend sale of medicines that are banned in one of the six major global drug markets for harmful side-effects, said two senior government officials.
According to a health ministry official, if a drug is banned by the US, UK, Canada, Japan, European Union or Australia, its sales will be stopped in India until clinical data proves that it will not have adverse effect on patients in the country. These embargoes will be triggered by future action of international regulators, and will not automatically apply to drugs that have already been banned in the developed countries.

What if you had the financial freedom to work less, relax, and take holidays when and where you want to?
Financial security and freedom is one of the areas of your life of which you MUST take charge and not rely heavily on others. However creating wealth or income through shares is not a one off event; it's a disciplined approach to creating one of the most important parts of your life – financial freedom.
Too many people listen to media commentators or brokers with vested interests when making their most crucial investing or trading decisions – and THAT can be financial suicide.
The path to financial freedom is a continuous process of learning and growth that involves a combination of education, support, and a supportive peer group so that you may thrive in any market conditions.
Our business has been structured to provide those elements for traders or investors at any stage of their journey, whether that is 'just starting out and I know nothing yet' to 'I'm experienced in shares and I want that extra edge'.
The personalised service is tailored to the needs of our community which we connect with both face to face and online regularly (you never feel alone in our environment).
I am happy to discuss ANYTHING about shares, so just drop me a line at email@example.com and we'll arrange a time to chat.
We have built a Share Wealth Club where a community of successful traders and investors get together monthly to learn and develop their wealth building skills. Guests are very welcome to come along and see if it's right for them. Click here to register your interest in attending.
Our Share Trading and Investing Programs decode the myths and methods of building wealth through shares. Specialist Share Education's programs are structured in a simple step by step format to get you trading profitably in the Australian Share Market in a very short period of time and also guide you in building your wealth over the longer term, using the right strategies and tools for the market conditions – we are there beside you every step of the way.
We adopt a proven and successful approach to building your cashflow and wealth
- Comprehensive initial skills training and mentored support to get you started
- Clear step by step plans & strategies which you tailor to your circumstances
- Comprehensive live, webinar and video based sessions to provide ongoing education and keep you focused on your goals
- Because we know you probably don't have the time, or the inclination to do the research yourself, we do it for you every day
- Opportunity to engage in an informed and focused group of wealth builders
You will continue to build on your knowledge as you gain experience and our approach is for you to start with small low-risk steps to build familiarity and confidence.
The smart people learn from others who are already where they wish to be – Garry has been there, made the mistakes, learnt from them and now delivers his knowledge with a mission to guide as many people as he can to financial freedom using shares as a vehicle.

Our Kids Can Do means easy.
And quick. And fun. And inexpensive.
Gunk. Playdough. Putty. Flubber. Whatever it is, kids LOVE it and mom's can't argue that this activity doubles as a stress-reliever. Here are a few of my favorite recipes from my daycare days!
Pick Your Concoction:
Rubbery Playdough: Mix 2 cups baking soda, 1 1/2 cups water, and 1 cup cornstarch. Mix with a spoon until smooth. Boil over medium heat until thick. Spoon onto plate, wax paper or play surface and create!
Silly Putty: Place 1/2 cup Elmer's glue in a disposal bowl. Slowly add 1/2 cup of liquid starch to glue and knead with fingers. The more you work with it the better it jells. Add food coloring if you like.
Silly Putty: Place 1/2 cup Elmer's glue in a disposal bowl. Slowly add 1/2 cup of liquid starch to glue and knead with fingers. The more you work with it the better it jells. Add food coloring if you like.
Gunk: Mix 1 part cornstarch to 1 part water. Mix and color with food color. You'll be amazed how it melts in your fingers and solidifies on the table. Cleans up easy with water. Go Science!
Flubber: You will need 1 1/2 cups glue, 4 tablespoons Borax (laundry detergent aisle) and 4 cups water. Directions: Mix 2 cups of water and the glue in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups water and the Borax. After it's dissolved, pour the Borax mixture a little at a time into the glue mixture and stir. You might not need all of the Borax mixture. Squish it, poke it, or try sticking a bit of it a the end of a straw and blowing a bubble. Watch it ooze through your fingers. Note: Vinegar will take flubber out of clothes and mayonnaise will take it out of hair. (Good to know?)
Silly Creations: Add different sizes of googly eyes, buttons, straws, pipe cleaners and other household items to your playdough.
Goofy Gadgets: Root through your kitchen cabinets and junk drawers for unique tools - cookie cutters, potato masher, comb, rolling pin, stamps, plastic scissors, plastic forks and spoons, wooden mallet, lids, milk caps, small plastic bowls, golf tees, toy cars, etc.
Have Fun!
Have Fun!

Developer: 2K Marin
Publisher: 2K Games
Release date: August 20
Price: $59.99
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified takes the rich conspiracy theory canon of the XCOM universe and plunks you right down in the thick of it. No longer is the player the world-builder with a godlike view of the battlefield; now you're part of the war machine. You won't be building any bases in The Bureau, you'll be building soldiers who you'll spend the rest of the game trying desperately to keep alive.
The Bureau is set in 1962 America, a country and world split by the Cold War and in the midst of racial divide. While the story addresses these issues, some directly and others more off-handedly, in the end they're non-essential to the story, but add to the ambience of the era.
We start out by meeting agent William Carter, a Clint Eastwood-like Korean War vet who's worked for the CIA keeping the Red Menace off our backs. Carter is transporting a mysterious package when he's caught in the opening engagement of an alien incursion, to use classic XCOM vernacular. Carter seems like a generic character in the beginning and this isn't helped by his corny, everyone I ever loved is dead type back-story. Which is only truly revealed in readable notes that are located around the world that give personal insight into events. Carter's redemption evolves as the game goes on, turning him into a more complicated character than we've seen in most games of the genre. The difference being that while Carter may be out to save the world he's ultimately out to save and understand his own personal demons.
With last year's success of XCOM: Enemy Unknown many gamers got their first taste of the XCOM universe. I would also consider it required play before you pick up The Bureau for two reasons: The first being that unlike all other information heavy XCOM titles, The Bureau just throws you into the thick of it without explaining too much about the enemies you'll face and doesn't contain the huge info databases of previous games either. Secondly, after becoming proficient at Enemy Unknown there is something ultimately terrifying being face to face with a twelve foot tall Muton in The Bureau.
A Dark World
The first thing you'll notice about The Bureau is that the world it takes place in is much darker than its predecessors. The developers intentionally toned down the comic colors and turned up the creep-factor, the game gets quite dark. From the opening tutorial levels you're treated to a destroyed Groom Lake testing range and offices that have been ransacked by the Outsiders. You'll come upon scenes of dead soldiers being mangled by Sectoids–little gray men-in dark, smoky rooms.
The art and environmental design is top notch. It achieves a perfect mix of American pie and modern alien noir. One of the first levels illustrates this perfectly; in the middle of a homecoming parade on a college campus, the Outsiders have gutted the entire town. When Carter arrives there are colorfully decorated floats askew in the street, dead citizens sit alongside Sleepwakers, ashen-faced infected humans oozing out black nanite tears, and citizens hung from lampposts by black blobs.
The set pieces provide some of the most memorable aspects of the game. An underwater alien base, a virus production factory built on top of mass graves and detailed alien towers Carter must ascend and take over. Playing through, we had flash backs to our favorite moments of X-Files and War of The Worlds. There are also lots of details hidden in the world to make the story much deeper and more personal, but players could easily skip past if you weren't looking for them. A dead teen that was hiding in a tree house for days or a family who committed suicide together so as to not be tortured by the Outsiders.

Libyan President Mohammed el-Megaref is using the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi earlier this month as an excuse to crack down on independent militias in the nation today, announcing that he plans to disband every single militia in the country that doesn't swear fealty to the government.
Two of the militias have already announced that they are disbanding, including the Ansar al-Sharia Benghazi (ASB), whose headquarters was burned by pro-regime protesters on Friday.
The Benghazi military leadership vowed to use all force necessary to disband the militias in their city, while a leadership in Tripoli gave militias there 48 hours to fold before facing a crackdown of their own.
The announcement reflects a long-standing goal of the post-Gaddhafi government to force militias under their thumb, but given the number of times the Libyan military has tried to intervene in random clashes between two unaffiliated militias and gotten absolutely trounced, their ability to impose this decision on those militias remains very much in doubt.

Scheduled for May 18, 2013, The "7 Minute Marriage Solution" is a one day world-wide simulcast event led by best-selling author, Stephen Arterburn.

Here's the link on in:cast events' website: http://incastevents.com/portfolio/the-7-minute-marriage-solution
From the Publisher
There are things that bind a couple together - like forgiveness, humor, and trust - and things that break their connection, such as grudges, power struggles, and unrealistic expectations. This book clearly lays out the blueprint for a successful marriage informing readers of 7 things they must stop, 7 things they must start and 7 minutes of guided devotions and prayer. Research has shown if couples spend devotional time together 3 to 4 times a week, they will have a stronger marriage that lasts the test of time. Best-selling author Stephen Arterburn guides husbands and wives to strengthen their connection with each other and with the One who bound their hearts together.

Will the Big East/WVU have a fair chance this year?
Posts: 0 - Of course the main criteria is if WVU and the rest of the Big East plays well. But let's assume we have one really nice year. Will the NCAA be fair to us and give us the ranking we deserve?

ContactMusic.com is reporting that the members of KISS gave a young cancer survivor the thrill of his life Monday (Feb. 28) when they paid him a surprise visit on his 10th birthday.David Dingman-Grover and his parents were booked as guests on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", where they discussed the young boy's achievement of beating the odds to survive the removal of a cancerous brain tumor, which his family were told was inoperable. DeGeneres ended the interview by bringing out the youngster's favorite band, who gave him a signed guitar. KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley said, "This is so important for us to be a part of a miracle. People talk about we're past the age of miracles but here's proof David is a living miracle and we can all be a part of it." Check out pictures of KISS' appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" (which aired on March 1) at KissFaq.com.

With its limited payload capacity and the continued growth of GEO spacecraft, the CZ-3 was joined in 1994 by the CZ-3A. The new launch vehicle incorporates a lengthened first stage, a pair of more powerful LH/LOX YF-75 engines in the third stage, and an improved, light-weight flight control system. The LEO payload capacity of the CZ-3A is 6.5-metric tons (compared to 5.5 metric tons for the CZ-3) and the GTO payload capacity is 2.6 metric tons.
Both 1994 flights of the CZ-3A were successful, although the payload of the second mission malfunctioned and could not reach its intended orbit.

When people have to move in together and pool their income in order to pay their utilities and keep warm there is something wrong. Our new governor should check out the Public Service Commission. They do nothing but sit on their can and pass every utility rate hike that comes across the desk.
I would like to Speakout, first and foremost thanks to the Standard Democrat's sports department for keeping up your coverage on our local sports in the Bootheel. Thank you again on that. Once again I am responding to the loser that doesn't know that a basketball is round. Get a life. We at Portageville don't think we need to win them all. We slipped down a couple of spots in the state-ranking but don't be so jealous. While we are state-bound your team evidently will be at home watching us on television. And also I'm sure the Standard Democrat will be covering us also since they are beefing up their sports department and doing a great job. Just keep reading the Standard Democrat sports section, every day buddy and you will learn something. Maybe before the season's out you will know that a basketball is round and that Portageville is for real.
I'm calling about the name and address you had in the newspaper regarding the school supplies to Iraq. Those fellows can not receive mail after Jan. 15 due to them coming home. There might be some other contacts you could have but those fellows won't be getting any more mail.
I'm so bummed out because Johnny Carson is gone. I guess I kind of hoped he would never die. So long, Johnny.

Paul C. Bunn Children's Garden
We have an ever expanding children's gardening program at our school, that has been in existence for about 8 years. Over the years we have developed four ongoing goals for our program. The first goal addresses accessibility for all of our 350 students and staff by creating an inviting barrier-free garden for every student and adult, including our large special needs population. Our second goal promotes a hands-on, multi-sensory learning space that uses theme-based gardens (e.g. Three Sisters, Ohio Natives,Vegetable, Salsa, Pizza etc.) and activities that support our academic standards in literacy, math, science, social studies, and creative arts. Our third goal uses the school garden to encourage stewardship of the environment, and service to our school. Our students are learning about important life-long practices like composting, and recycling. Students who also participate in the Garden Clubs are learning about responsibility, leadership, and service through a year-long commitment to do volunteer work in the garden. Our fourth goal uses instruction in gardening basics, and garden to table programming to facilitate a focus on good nutrition. As the children experiment with growing, preparing and eating different foods, their demand for and access to fruits and vegetables has increased.
The weather in Northeast Ohio is an ongoing challenge and we are always trying new ways to extend our season. Our classes do most of their planting in the spring. Then in September and October, when students return to school, the children use their bountiful harvest of tomatoes, peppers, herbs and other vegetables to make nutritious snacks, salads etc. for our "Taste of the Garden" programs, our school's open house, and other family events. In the future we'd like to add more garden beds and include cold frames and other tools to extend our growing season and time in the garden.

KGI is a nonprofit community of over 30,000 people who are growing some of our own food and helping others to do the same.

Superbowl Blackout: Beyonce's Shiny Show or NOLA Infrastructure
You are hereHome » Superbowl Blackout: Beyonce's Shiny Show or NOLA Infrastructure
Whether it was showing love for Beyonce or laughing at the state of New Orleans' infrastructure since the Super Bowl, most have not stopped to think about how much public investment the city still needs. Makani Themba, Executive Director of the Praxis Project breaks down how the Super Bowl power outage is all about, well, power and how public infrastructure is "raced".
"Last night's power outage at the Super Bowl gave the world a glimpse of the daily challenges many New Orleans residents still face in the wake of rebuilding post-Katrina. Thanks to misplaced priorities that place war and partisan politics over our nation's infrastructure needs, cities like New Orleans suffer. From New Jersey to New Orleans and beyond, we have watched recovery dollars spent in discriminatory ways. Suburban, more affluent areas and tourist zones get the lion's share and communities — especially low resource communities and communities of color — wait for months and even years for relief. Studies published by the National Housing Institute and others have shown how these historic patterns of racism exacerbate present-day gaps but there has been no significant policy effort to address this inequity. The fact that New Orleans got the lights back on so quickly is a testament to its resilience and know-how. However, cities cannot put the lights back on or undertake the gargantuan task of rebuilding without their fair share of public dollars."
Makani has also written about New Orleans, and the historical patters of disinvestment. In a piece written for Alternet just days after Hurricane Katrina, Makani noted "Urban areas and other communities with high concentrations of people of color have suffered decades of disinvestment and disfranchisement. Urban areas are less likely to have fair representation at the state and federal level due to apportionment schemes designed to dilute their voting power. Therefore, they are more likely to lose their public hospitals and other critical services. In many states, the suburbs and rural areas are considered the 'real' residents and the urban areas are political stepchildren."
Makani and Comms Director Kenyon Farrow were interviewed on this subject this week on several radio stations including KPFA Pacifica Radio, WBAI (NYC), Progressive Radio Network and American Radio News Networks.
