Liverpool Message Board
The next addition..?
Haven't got a clue, nor remedy for being up at this ungodly hour of 3am..
Anyhow, I don't suppose it will be long before making it's way, unless it has done and I'm just being redundant (forgive for lack of sleep) regarding the suggestion of Kevin Gameiro of PSG agreeing to terms for a loan move to LFC away from France..
It was originally stipulated that he'd be first choice after Sturridge if he did not get wrapped up, but now that Ince is at a complete impass, which irks the living sh*t out of me, over a mere 2M, Gameiro takes priority, "supposedly"..
The story I've just read on this side of the hot tub, is that again he's agreed to personal terms and OK'd a move away on loan, and the final decision is on PSG.. For anyone not familiar, Gameiro is a fantastic, pacey striker, and the reason he's possibly leaving is because PSG are basically the new Madrid/City, where he can barely get a game in over Ibrahimovic and their other embarrasing wealth of rich additions over the summer, and now Lucas Moura..
For those that don't fancy Borini, and may never give him a chance, despite having not played in the Prem, KG is far more experienced while still young, IF it's the truth and IF it is done/close..
Here's a good clip, and yes every clip can make anyone look good, but just focus on the blistering speed, movement, beating high lines and finishes..
Hoping for good news in the am, if I ever do crash as my eyeballs are burning..

I've heard the Gameiro rumours and certainly welcome another addition to the squad, cossing fingers etc. that it turns out to be positive. If it happens that is.
Ince? I'd heard a similar thing with regard to a haggle over a millon or two here and there. Yesterday however I'd heard that Blackpool were ready to drop their price a bit. I think the deal will happen myself.
Finally I've read this morning that Sahin may be going back to the Bundesliga.
Don't worry about the Tom Ince, it is a deal that will definitely happen before the end of the window. As soon as our 1st bid was rejected, it was always going to drag out. LFC have first refusal, we bid £4m, which is the equivalent of £7m from anyone else. If someone else trumps our bid then we get another opportunity to bid.

Think by this point of the window, we're both (all I mean) going to hear the same pieces of news, just a matter of who hears or sees what first and vice versa..Regards to Ince, I still believe it will happen as well
The one thing that was said is that Blackpool actually had a 8-9M tag on him at one point, regardless of our 4M bid, which while he may end up great and a star, is a bit much now, and even they know that. The other interesting symantic to his deal, was Blackpool actually did use a decent poker face, credit to them, keeping him before they played the FA Cup, since he's now cup tied, it's dropped his value. He had (per the article one of us posted) wanted to arrive at LFC before that. But, he handled it professionally..
On Gameiro, really love it, and while loans haven't always worked out for us, you can't teach his pace and finishing.
Regards to Sahin, yep same here.. Having seen him that year winning Bundesliga player of the year, I thought he was brilliant, and alot of those players adapt seamlessly, esp to La Liga. Who knows.. His best position was holding mid, but since even Lucas is struggling a bit there at the moment, he's the last one I'd want as any type of ball winner in a big match..
The Coates going out on loan story did continue, even was mentioned during the Fa Cup commentary here, so we could still see 2-3 ins, and 2 outs.. Tick Tock..

If true then,, whats the chances of us signing him full time?
Hi Colin,
To be honest those days for Lucas are over with.. and I'm not saying that because he's not physically capable of it, it's just that since he's been at Liverpool, which I believe is 7 years now, he's been groomed as nothing other than a defensive or holding midfielder..
The irony of it all was, when Rafa signed him from Gremio back then, he was named Young Attacking Brazillian of the year (maybe missing "midfielder" in that), and immediately, as Rafa was known to and still does, tinkered with him all over the park, and we saw what a negative affect it had on the lad for so long until he got better..
So credit to Lucas, but while he could do a job going forward retaining posession, maybe pick a pass or two, his shooting is woeful, I couldn't even remember him landing one on target, aside from a goal in a summer friendly vs Bayer Leverkeusen this past August, but also, he's not the most athletic or quick.
Of the ample mids we have, Stevie aside, Jonjo and Jordan seem to be the most comfortabe, athletic and improving, and while not a midfielder, that's where Suso should eventually end up, further advanced ala David Silva who lines up left, but never spends 1 second there..
Aside from Gerrard and Henderson at the moment, none seem healthy or in good form, but when they all are, we have quite a plethora of choices, only I think 1 or 2 may be redundant, where in the summer or further along we could use a creative 10, like Christian Eriksson of Ajax, Munaian from Bilbao, Belhanda from Montpellier etc etc.. World class, young with experience..
I'll still say it Jason / Colin. Until we get the midfield general (or midfield monster as I call them) we wont really get that far. There isn't one in the squad at the moment.
LFC_Armchair_Supporter LFC_Armchair_Supporter Jan 10, 2013 13:48 Flag
Maybe we shouldm put in a cheeky bid for Torres.. as Chelsea will be keen to offload him. He'd suit our style well I'm sure.. He'd give us a bit more bite upfront.. he still has a lot of love for LFC.
That, while I think can be offset by Lucas at his very best, ie- going into the Chelsea cup match where injuring himself, is something that would result in us having to offload at least 1-2 existing cms..
Since they are all very talented, but some a bit redundant, the question is who, and not why. It's nice to have depth, but we don't have enough at fullback and wide areas (slowly improving w/ Borini's return up front), and 6 in central is just too much really, espcially with Gerrard still being a class above..
Jonjo? I wouldn't
Jordan? Finding some form, but a bit redundant yet..
Lucas? No
Allen? Some would say yes, but the answer is no..
Gerrard? next
Sahin - out the door basically
Spearing on loan, will be sold for very little
Coady? I wouldn't.. on peripheries of breaking in and very talented..
All have their strenghts and weaknesses, obviously Sahin/Spearing aside, but none truly excels at any one thing like Gerrard does with his set pieces and command of the deep mid..
For whatever reason, and maybe it's just my perception, on the few occasions Jordan has paired with Gerrard, they seem to have been impeccable.. Neither is a "monster", but Jordan's work rate and athleticism is probably best of the lot, and Gerrard can stick a tackle like anyone else.. You'd think they were the "odd couple", but again, this could just be perception of my own, from only a few instances..
Don't you think we need 6 forwards in view of how Brendan wants to play?
After a quick think, for me personally, yes, especially if he's going to succeed at LFC with the style he implemented perfectly at Swansea, but with much better results in the final third..
If we were to end January with:
Suarez, Sturridge, Borini
Sterling, Downing, Ince
Assaidi, (ACON) Suso (out of position but capable), Yesil (on fire in reserves)
That's surely equal to, and superior to that of Sinclair, Dyer, Graham, Gylfi and whomever else he had at Swans..
Not all of those players are "Suarez", or the artist formerly known as Fernando Torres in Red, but, depth wise, that's about as good as I can recall in my time as a supporter, and without question the best youth/promise/talent some may have seen in a very long time at this club.
We really don't even know what Assaidi can do, what Suso can do in a more central attacking role, and while too many are slating Borini, how he could really help as a role player playing 3rd/4th fiddle to Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling..
Considering the fact that all of those players are extremely interchangeable, aside from Yesil who's just a true 9, if we were chasing a goal, we could theoretically see 5-6 of them all on the pitch at a time, with maybe 1 midfielder just there to hold and distribute.. IE:
--Ince-- Gerrard --Downing
Again, not vintage Xabi, Gerrard, Torres, but heck, I'd have a hard time figuring out who to put on and leave off if/when needing them all at once, and of course *Ince is an if, so even without him, Borini when fit or Suso slot right in..
In response to Hobs comment on Sneijder above I heard some news on this last night and thought it would be worth sharing. As it's transfer gossip I shall have to try and write this in the style of Jason.
Colleagues I have some interesting news on the Sneijder front. Take what you will from it as it is the view of one person quoted from a radio programme last night. I personally suspect his person, being a Dutch journo / correspondent may have some link to Sneijder as it sounded like someone is fishing for work. In short, or not as the case may be, the Sneijder, Gallatasaray thing is not done. I gathered all of this info from the said radio programme on my way home last night. They, Gallatasaray, who seem to have oodles of money, (is oodles a word? I don't know but it works here) have offered him something like 160,000 Euro, or was it Pounds? Anyway it was tax free with the simple purpose of getting him there. Crazy sums but according to the said journo Sneijder himself isn't overly fussed about the prospect of Turkey.
Normally I suspect Jason would write some more here so I'll fill in with my own stuff. Blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah balh , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah balh , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah balh , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah balh , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah blah , blah, blah, blah blah , blah.
Back to story.
Said journo said that Sneijder was interested in the PL.
For some reason which remained unexplained, and I personally still cant fathom why the so called big guns of City, United, Tottenham, Arsenal were not in the game. As said I've no idea why. Sneijder wants a PL move to a senior PL side and is willing to take a significant pay cut by all accounts. Sneijder has his eyes on Brazil and wants to play regularly and impress thus ensuring that he'll go.
However there is a significant downside. He's injured and hadn't played since last year. I don't know what the injury is but it's obviously something serious for a lay off approaching 4 months so far, and counting.
Now I for one would welcome a Sneijder in a LFC shirt. He would add a whole different level of control to our game and midfield and having him behind Suarez is quite a mouth watering prospect. It's all pie in the sky though, I think. He still wont come cheap, and the injury bugs me, whatever it is. But class is definitely class and this guy has it in spades. To me it sounded like this journo was one of Sneijder's agents and took the opportunity to go fishing.
So basically Sneijder is still available by all accounts. We would stand a chanebt in all seriosuness I think the club is looking elsewhere.
I'm tired now. How do you type so much Jason?

Everything you've ever wanted to know about the inner workings of Mesa County is now available at your fingertips. Starting this month the county is issuing a quarterly report. The current issue is available on the county's web site and features information on workloads and projects of the various departments.
It also outlines federal and state legislative issues that will likely have an impact on Mesa County. The report is the result of Mesa County Commissioners who want to make local government more transparent, especially as western Colorado experiences more growth in the coming years.
Future editions of the quarterly report will be made available in hard copy form, but the current report is accessible only on Mesa County's web site, which you can link to at the end of this story.

With 24 seconds remaining in the contest, Jon VanderWal had a little sideline chat with his star J.J. Martin, who was still on the court.
While Marietta College was leading Wilmington College by 11 (96-85) and on the verge of winning its fourth straight game, the sixth-year Pioneer frontman was still coaching his navy blue and white cagers.
"I wanted us to get the heck out of here," said VanderWal after MC defeated the Quakers, 98-87, in an Ohio Athletic Conference men's basketball game at Ban Johnson Arena Saturday. "I wanted us to finish the game and play really strong. I think he thought he got fouled. I just thought he could've played a little stronger with the basketball."
If Martin, who finished with a game-high 32 points, got hacked, the refs didn't call it.
"I thought they'd (Wilmington) fouled me, and I was going to get two easy ones," Martin said.
If Martin had gone to the line and converted two freebies, it would have been a Pioneer career best for the Huntington, W.Va. native.
"It's always good to break a career-high, but...," said Martin, whose career best is 33 points, set in a 97-90 MC win against Mount Union on Jan. 9.
VanderWal said he was still coaching "the finer details of the game and how we want this thing to operate."
"We're going to do that whether we're up 50 or down 50," the MC boss continued, "or whether there's three seconds left in the game or 30 minutes left in the game."
While Martin didn't get one career best, he did get another when he grabbed 13 rebounds.
"He had a great day," VanderWal said. "He's really becoming a big time player."
And, Marietta is really becoming a team to be reckoned with in the OAC. With the victory against Wilmington and Capital University's 79-67 loss to Baldwin-Wallace on Saturday, the Pioneers are now all alone atop the league standings.
Next up, MC is scheduled to play at Otterbein University in Westerville at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. The Pioneers routed the Cardinals, 90-62, in the first meeting at BJA in December.
"We've just got to keep winning games," VanderWal said. "We don't talk about that stuff (OAC standings ) a whole lot. We just try to focus on our next opponent, and go game by game. That's all we can do."
Obviously, VanderWal's coaching of the finer details is getting through to his team.

Credit card banks that issued the credit card and other creditors who originated or serviced the account, loan or other debt before the debt went into default and continue to own the debt are NOT "debt collectors" and would not be covered by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act's prohibitions against collection harassment and other debt collection abuse.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act generally defines a "debt collector" as :
"any person who uses any instrumentality of interstate commerce or the mails in any business the principal purpose of which is the collection of any debts,or who regularly collects or attempts to collect, directly or indirectly, debts owed or due or asserted to be owed or due another."
15 U.S.C. Section 1692a(6).
But, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act excludes the following categories (among others) from being "debt collectors" :
(1) "any officer or employee of a creditor while, in the name of the creditor, collecting debts for such creditor"; and
(2) "any person while acting as a debt collector for another person, both of whom are related by common ownership or affiliated by corporate control, if the person acting as a debt collector does so only for persons to whom it is so related and if the principal business of such person is not the collection of debts."
15 U.S.C. Section 1692a(6). FDCPA, Section 803. In contrast, the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act ("FCCPA") protects Florida consumers from harassment and abuse even when the perpetrator is an original creditor.
A surprisingly large number of consumers (including consumers represented by lawyers), filed complaints alleging that an original creditor violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"). I understand that consumers who read self help advice on various websites discussing credit, debt,
credit repair, debt settlement, etc. probably receive at least as much incorrect advice as correct statements of the law. But, even lawyers who are probably inexperienced with Fair Debt Collection Practices Act cases drove some of the clunkers to the courthouse.
During recent year, the federal courts dismissed at least ten FDCPA causes of action against original creditors.
The Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act ("FCCPA") applies to creditors as well as debt collectors. But, the FCCPA does not provide consumers with all of the rights that the FDCPA does.
Florida consumers who believe they may have been harassed or abused by collection agencies and other debt collectors or by creditors, are welcome to describe their problem in the Collection Harassment Form in the right hand column. I will contact you to discuss the collection harassment and other collection efforts against you.

Riverside builds team of Dementia Friends as part of national awareness week
Published by Susan Littlemore for Riverside in Care and Support and also in Communities, Health, Housing
Sara Davies, Scheme Manager at Stephenson Court (centre) with two volunteers showcasing Riverside's Reminiscence Pod.
There are currently more than 800,000 people in the UK diagnosed with dementia. Riverside ECHG, a provider of specialist housing and support for older people, including those diagnosed with the degenerative condition, is raising awareness as part of Dementia Awareness Week (18 – 24 May 2014).
Dementia describes a set of symptoms that may include memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem-solving or language. Dementia is caused when the brain is damaged by diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease or a series of strokes.
Within the UK's rapidly ageing population, dementia is becoming an increasingly prevalent issue – it is predicted that there will be over a million people suffering from dementia by 2021.*
Riverside is raising awareness during Dementia Awareness Week by informing its own staff about the condition.
Riverside's team, led by Quality Officer Ken Johnson and Team Leader Jeanette Kelsey are using their knowledge as Alzheimer's Society-accredited Dementia Friends Champions to deliver awareness sessions throughout the week and to help build a team of Dementia Friends within Riverside.
Ken said: "The sessions aim to give people an understanding of the condition, how it affects people and what support is available. It will focus on five key messages to develop an individual's understanding of dementia. I want to make people aware that it's not a natural part of ageing, it's caused by diseases of the brain (the most common being Alzheimer's). I want to highlight the fact that there's more to a person that the dementia.
"I will be conducting scenario-based activities to make people consider what they would do if they were caring for a dementia sufferer. I want people to leave the session with a planned action of something they can do to improve the life of someone with dementia."
To support dementia sufferers Riverside has developed a Dementia Café at its Liverpool centre for older people, Stephenson Court. The café comes complete with a 1950's 'Reminiscence Pod' (as featured on BBC's Dragon's Den) which helps people connect with memories from their past by using a pop-up stand designed as fifties-style lounge.
To mark Dementia Awareness Week, Riverside is hosting a 'Memory Lane Café' event at Stephenson Court on Friday 23 May. An afternoon cream tea will be served and clients will be invited to play memory games and quizzes related to bygone eras.
Riverside is also investing in developing new dementia-friendly housing and will be launching its specialist extra care centre in North Tyneside, Weetslade Court. The scheme will provide independence and security for people aged over 55 and includes bright, colourful design to help tenants navigate around the centre and a dementia-friendly garden with a focus on supporting its residents to keep active and to get involved in the local community.
Each year, Riverside provides specialist housing services for 6,000 people aged over 55. Its extra care housing gives older people with care needs the ability to access innovative, high quality and flexible service provision.
The Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Friends programme aims to create one million Dementia Friends by 2015, who will have all committed to an action to help support people live well with dementia.

Ottumwa, Ia. – Southeast Iowa took the brunt of a snowstorm Tuesday as residents watched snow pile up and prepared to dig through a foot or more this morning.
Lyvier Leffler of Eddyville prepared twice.
She tried to get ahead of the storm on Monday, stocking up on groceries, especially chili fixings.
Leffler is dean of academic services at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, so she's an organized type.
But she was back at Hy-Vee Food Store in Ottumwa at noon Tuesday as the full fury of Iowa's latest honest-to-goodness Midwest snow dump arrived in force. It turned out that because of the weather, she'd have three young guests joining her two children at the dinner table.
"I have three extra kids staying at my house," Leffler said. "And boys eat a lot. I need more hamburger."
She already had loaded her cart with beer and chips, two staples of Iowa winter survival kits.
Indian Hills dismissed classes early Tuesday. Grade school classes were canceled.
Photos: Winter storm hits Iowa
Leffler wasn't alone. Hy-Vee store director Mike Auderer has watched winter come and go for a decade, but he said he has never seen a storm like the one that set up to whack this Des Moines River town. By mid-afternoon Tuesday, the valley streets already resembled sledding hills, and visibility was turning from poor to near zero.
This set up a shopping frenzy.
"It's been busy for two days," Auderer said. "They want to make sure they don't run out of anything."
What were they buying?
"Pop. Beer. Chips. It's kind of funny," Auderer said.
Not everything was humorous. Slick streets led to accidents and close calls.
At Indian Hills, a few dozen cars remained in the parking lot, even with classes dismissed. The local country club lane looked largely unused. Mexican restaurants downtown stood ready to warm up the few customers who visited. Downtown was quiet outside, save for a few men working snow shovels.
At the Walmart Supercenter, the $8 sale on shorts seemed to go largely unnoticed. The big business was in the grocery aisles and at McDonald's.
Down the street, Great Clips had one customer in a chair during what sufficed for a noon rush. A guy walking toward a neighboring business wore heavy boots and a light sweatshirt.
Another man, Brandon Bruns, donned an Iowa Hawkeye sweatshirt to haul groceries into his house near downtown in the afternoon. His plan for the next couple of days: "Stock up on stuff and stay in the house."
Probably a good idea.

The Kansas City Chiefs announced that Romeo Crennel was relieved of his duties as head coach. The move was expected for weeks because the Chiefs have been a massive disappointment and finished the season with a 2-14 record.
The Chiefs were expected to be a playoff team and have a lot of talent that has gone to waste the last few years. The Chiefs are probably closer to being a playoff team than most teams with horrible records.
Being the worst team in the league has its advantages, like securing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft. Drafting at the top or near the top of every round and having plenty of cap space also means the Chiefs could rebuild quickly.
The Chiefs can rebuild the franchise by following this simple seven-step guide.

I guess I have a suspicious mind by nature, but I can't help wondering about the timing of the road diet and the proposal to build a senior center on East Main Street. The road diet idea popped up a couple weeks after it came out that someone wanted to build a three-story assisted-living complex on the same street. Is the city getting ready to make the road easier for all those seniors? What gives?
— Bob P., Medford
There's nothing wrong with a suspicious mind, Bob. We know a lot of people at Since You Asked headquarters who react suspiciously if you even say "Hello" to them in the morning.
We're sure that you're not that bad, Bob, but your suspicions suggest there's some kind of conspiracy theory between the city and the developers of the senior complex.
"Not so," said Cory Crebbin, director of Medford's Public Works Department.
The city has been eyeing many streets that have four lanes, but might be better served with two travel lanes and a center turn lane, he said. In addition, two bike lanes would be installed.
To prove his case, Crebbin cites a 2003 Transportation System Plan to identify 30 streets that could support alternative means of transportation such as bikes.
"We've been working on this for a while, but it's a 20-year plan," Crebbin said.
For the city to qualify for federal and state grants, it needs such a plan to show that it's making an effort to develop alternative methods of transportation.
Also, Crebbin said, the road is extremely unsafe for pedestrians to cross, because if they put their foot out onto the street to signal they want to cross, they could get run over.
With the bike lanes on either side of the street, pedestrians have a chance to step into the roadway without risk of losing a foot — or worse.
By the way, Crebbin objects to the use of the phrase "road diet."
"We think of this more as a way to make the street safer," Crebbin said.
Send questions to "Since You Asked," Mail Tribune Newsroom, P.O. Box 1108, Medford, OR 97501; by fax to 541-776-4376; or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com. We're sorry, but the volume of questions received prevents us from answering all of them.

Laois cruised to a comprehensive 1-20 to 0-08 victory at O'Moore Park against a Galway team that already look like being dragged into a Allianz NFL Division 2 relegation fight.
Tomas O'Flatharta's side were never troubled by Galway and ran away from the Tribesmen in a second half in which his side outscored their rivals by a massive ten points.
For their part, Galway were able to at least keep pace with Laois until a cooly taken goal from Kevin Meaney minutes before half-time seemed to knock the wind from the visitors.
Laois scored four points on the back of Meaney's effort and took a 1-07 to 0-05 lead into the break.
Galway's expected second-half rally never materialised as they were blitzed by a mobile and speedy Laois front line.
Points from Meaney and Billy Sheehan were answered by a Sean Armstrong free for Galway but from then on out, it was all one-way traffic as Laois hit seven unanswered points and left Galway with some big questions as to their performance.

Poor the Carlos (not pictured). Carlos, it has to be said is not Japanese, but during the course of my research into Chikan Activities he's popped up – Man of the Month no-less for July 2002 on a Japanese English-language forum – Frottophilia (not a place for the faint-hearted). He's from Venezuela and his posts had me giggling at the unintentionally humour of a self-confessed, rubbish Chikan. Here for you to read is my favourite post (unedited):
I could not succeed in the BOSTON subway
I lived 2 years in Boston. It is a beautiful city, but I was not successful there as a chikan.
Things that went badly:
1)I was beaten up on my ribs by one war veteran working as a subway secret police, because I groped one teenager. She sounded the alarm and yelled.
2) Another war veteran secret police beat my genitals because I groped one Chinese student, and she yelled and asked for help.
3) I was blinded for few minutes by one security lady who was off duty, because I tried to grope her and she detected me. She used a sulfuric acid spray on me. Fortunately, she did not used the full charge of acid, just a sprinkle to blind me for few minutes.
4) One Japanese girl hurt my left foot with the heel of her boots and yelled "Chikan, Chikan, Chikan", because I tried to rub up against her.
5) One French tourist asked me to have a French style duel with him, because I tried to grope his 15-year-old daughter in the trolley of the subway, and he noticed it.
6) One trolley driver stopped the trolley in the middle of the way I told me to get out the trolley, because I was groping one business woman who complained to him.
7) One police officer threatened me with one non lethal weapon that discharges electricity.
8) Two police officers shouted at me, and told me loudly to "f**k-off" the subway system, because I used to switch cars of the subway frequently, when I was groping.
9) One secret security lady told me loudly that she was a hand gun shooter, and that she could leave me without shitting and without ever never have an erection by shooting my anus.
I could not be a successful chikan in Boston,
Succeed? You already have mate! Research can be such an arduous task, but real-life confessions when mixed with bad English makes the load feel lighter every time.

U.N. Pledges Revitalized Darfur Effort
Posted on Jan 5, 2007
The United Nations has begun a renewed effort to address the ongoing genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has promised to give the crisis his full attention, though many world leaders have made similar commitments to no avail.

Be better than Kofi !
Never let anyone sitting on your head then peeing down.

Okay, so why aren't you reporting on the psych-ops which have been perpetrated by the media over the role of the US, the UN, France, Belgium in operating under the term 'genocide' to bleed this region (the Congo and Sudan) of all their natural resources to profit huge corporate interests and feed our communal addiction to tech gadgets?
I am so so tired of this digging beneath the headlines at most all of our alternative media outlets stoppping short of outing the real story. All of these UNESCO, World Bank,IMF and UN and Clinton projects in African states have blood on their hands. There was no Rwandan Genocide; this was a civil war backed up the US and Rwanda was step one in a battle for the resources of the Congo and now Sudan… just a tad bit more research and you would discover who actually is doing all the displacement and killing. Is it to much to stomach?
Paul Katame, trained in the US, and posing as the leader of an oppressed homeless African tribe is behind the double assassination of Rwanda and Burnei leaders in 1994, genocides follow and they go on and on… and just like after 911, anyone speaking truth to this vile power is cut down for being insensitive to the victims of genocide ... meanwhile, we are training, arming, fighting in these regions, to fill the purses of Bechtel, Halliburton, Brown & Root, Chevron,,,, an maybe I have some of my facts off right now, but I have them all if you are interested (visit projectcensored.org and guns and butter for starters) but can't we start to have an honest conversation about what's going on here? No BODY is going to intervene in this blood letting and resettlement.

By U.S. ArmyJuly 12, 2013
First nurse and first woman to command the Dunham U.S. Army Health Clinic, Col. Stephanie Wilcher was honored by the military community here today as she passed to the incoming commander a healthcare campus that has achieved more access to care, more types of healthcare and wellness programs, and more efficiency.
Col. Rebecca Porterformally assumed command of the Dunham healthcare-and-wellnessmission and a staff of 182 from Col. Stephanie Wilcher Friday, June 14 in Reynolds Theater, in a ceremony officiated by Col. Danny Jaghab who commands the U.S. Army Medical Department Activity Commander at Fort George G. Meade, Md.
As the commander of Dunham, Wilcher managed and provided effective leadership, strategic vision and a discipline focus across four geographically dispersed clinics and an Army Wellness Center, according to Jaghab.
Wilcher, an Army War College graduate, served as a strategic leadership through unprecedented fiscal and transformational challenges, said Jaghab. She led the transition of Dunham Clinic from a healthcare system to a "system of health" operating in four locations: Carlisle Barracks, Fort Indiantown Gap, Letterkenny Army Depot, and New Cumberland Defense Depot.
Wilcher planned and managed the introduction of the Army Wellness Center at Carlisle Barracks. She made Dunham Clinic a role model for the command as a first and successful adopter of the patient-centered Medical Home program and the Anderson Model of team care. Her initiatives and management paid off with improved scores, increased capacity and access to care, and higher patient satisfaction scores, said the MEDDAC commander.
Wilcher credited the Dunham staff the credit for the clinic's achievements on behalf of military patients and beneficiaries -- noting especially her deputy for clinical services COL George Patterson, deputy commander for nursing MAJ Vanessa Worsham, deputy commander for nursing nurse who led the nursing team to practice at the top of their license; and clinic administrator Joe Vancosky, who leads the administrative staff.
"You guys did all that," said Wilcher, giving all credit to the doctors, nurses, and staff of the Dunham system of health -- at Carlisle Barracks. "We have transformed the way healthcare is delivered.
"Your incredible dedication and work ethic I have not seen across the Army before. It is people working together as a team, she said, to incorporate 'wellness' into "wellest community in the Army -- and we are well on our way."
I don't think there's another team that could have done so much in such a short time," she said. "I know that Col. Porter will take it to the next level."
"While a change of command represents a symbolic transfer of responsibility, authority and accountability to a new leader, it is important to remember that the heart of the organization -- the people -- remain steady. Dunham Clinic will continue to provide the same excellent care, delivered with the utmost kindness and respect to its patients.
"The organization will continue to be a trusted neighbor and we will remain reliable teammates with our fellow organizations at Carlisle Barracks," said Porter. "I look forward to working with this outstanding Dunham team and am grateful for this opportunity."
An extensive education and multitude of leadership experiences at all levels have prepared Porter for command of this unique Army health clinic, noted Jaghab. Porter is a board-certified Clinical Health Psychologist and served most recently as director of Psychological Health for the Army and the Chief of the Behavioral Health Division at the Office of the Surgeon General. She completed the doctoral program at Fielding Graduate University, and is a graduate of Tripler's Postdoctoral Health Psychology Fellowship.
Previously, she was assigned to the National Capital Region Medical Task Force, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the United States Military Academy, the Office of the Chief of Staff of the Army, and the Office of the Chief of Legislative
Commissioned as an Army military police officer from the University of Washington in 1983, Porter's early career in the MP Corps gave way to education and experience in counseling psychology while an Army Reserve officer. She transferred to the Medical Service Corps and returned to active duty to complete the Clinical Psychology Internship Program at Tripler Army Medical Center, Hawaii. She since served at
William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Fort Bliss, Texas; the Office of the Chief of Legislative Liaison; Office of the Chief of Staff of the Army; United States Military Academy; Walter Reed Army Medical Center; and the Joint Task Force of the National Capital Region Medical Command.
Wilcher will next serve as the Associate Dean for Academics for the Military Education Training Center at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas.

DUBLIN -- Smash Mouth singer Steve Harwell can be at the mall, getting groceries or shopping at a department store and hear his band's hits like 1999's still ubiquitous "All Star."
But the 44-year-old stage-savvy Harwell said he was nervous Monday as he got ready to take the spotlight at Dublin's Hacienda Crossings for a completely different show: an egg-eating challenge for charity with Food Network chef Guy Fieri.
"It's like going onstage the first time," said Harwell, who, with a few volunteers from the audience, finished 24 scrambled eggs and raised $15,000 for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
The event at Fieri's new Johnny Garlic's restaurant originated when blogger Jon Hendren -- known as Johnny "Doc Evil" Titanium on the "Something Awful" website -- offered Harwell $20 to eat two dozen eggs and to allow him to film the stunt for YouTube.
After many postings there and on other social media sites, Harwell agreed to it if fans would raise $10,000 for St. Jude's. Harwell's son died of leukemia when he was 6 months old, and Harwell is involved in many charitable causes. He also got his friend Fieri to cook.
About 150 people braved a light rain for the outdoor event, which started with Fieri bringing out a variety of eggs -- duck, quail and chicken -- and asking the audience which to use and how to prepare them. He ended up scrambling them, with fixings including jalapeños, bacon, green bell peppers, cheese and tomatoes.
Harwell ate them leisurely, as he and others, including San Jose Sharks mascot Sharkie, engaged the audience.
Fans chanted "Eat the eggs," and T-shirts were tossed to the audience. Harwell passed around a basket of hard-boiled eggs. After a half-hour, and with the help of a few volunteers from the audience, the eggs were gone.
Hendren, who was on hand, said he was surprised and happy to see his efforts go this far.
The 27-year-old San Jose man said he's not much of a Smash Mouth fan, but challenged Harwell, a Campbell resident, because he's a local guy.
"I was mostly bored," he said.
Others, however, are big, longtime fans. Harwell said the band, whose last album was in 2006, will release a new one early next year. They are also planning a tour with other 1990s bands, such as Sugar Ray and Lit.

THERE'S no hiding place in the family hatchback segment. Mid-sized five-doors continue to feature heavily in the top ten sales charts and any manufacturer not offering a strong contender will be at a major disadvantage. But that's good news for the likes of you and me, with a constant stream of new and updated models that offer more for your money.
The latest new offering is Renault's Megane, updated for 2012 and three years on from the first introduction of the third generation model. Clearly labelled as an update rather than a whole new offering, first appearances will quite rightly confirm that there have been modest tweaks to the outside. At the front there are gloss black inserts in the bumpers with a little chrome detailing, while on higher-specification models LED daytime running lights are both practical and attractive. There are new alloy wheel designs and a broader colour palette too, but you'll still spot it's a Megane without too much trouble – it's a car for the discreet rather than the flashy.
The model line up has been tweaked too; entry level models are now dubbed Expression+ and as a result gain an upgraded audio system (with a much-better user interface) and Bluetooth connectivity thrown in, while at the other end the GT Line TomTom version adds an electronic parking brake and a reversing camera as standard, two useful bits of technology.
But arguably the most important changes for the 2012 Megane are in the engine room. Already well regarded for its diesel options, the Megane gets the pick of its latest units that are already delivering the goods in the Scenic models. A 110bhp version of the 1.5-litre diesel is arguably the pick of the bunch; out on the road it has sufficient power and is pretty refined, yet it is capable of 80.7mpg and a remarkable 90g/km of CO2 – the lowest in the class. Even if diesel isn't your thing, a new 1.2-litre TCe turbocharged petrol offers up respectable performance alongside 53.3mpg combined and 119g/km.
Climb aboard and it all looks pretty familiar – they are some new fabrics dependent on the model but in general the latest Megane is as before. The layout may take a little getting used to for those new to Meganes, particularly the instrument layout which mixes analogue and digital displays, but with a little time it becomes second nature. More significant is the change to the audio system, now offering a straightforward USB and auxiliary input, larger and clearer buttons and simplified control method.
The Megane remains one of the most spacious cars in the class too. The broad exterior curves translate into good interior space, with front seat occupants enjoying all the head and legroom they could need and even in the back taller adults can get comfortable without having to stoop or struggle. The same goes for the boot, which offers up a well-sized 372 litres with the rear seats in place.
On the move the 2012 Megane remains a refined and easy-going car to drive. Even the more modestly-powered versions are happy enough to get on with the job in hand, with sufficient torque and decent refinement. Anyone wanting a bit more vim will need either the 1.6-litre or 2.0-litre diesel units, but for a balance between sufficient performance and impressive efficiency the 110bhp diesel has it all sewn up.
Behind the wheel the Megane has a thin layer of smoothness covering all it's controls; the steering is accurate but not super-sharp, the gearshift is positive and the suspension offers control and good ride quality, although in pure driving pleasure terms the class-favourite Ford Focus has the edge. Choose a higher-specification GT Line TomTom and you get sports suspension as standard – that certainly delivers a firmer ride but overall the balance is best served by the regular model. If it's extra-large thrills you're after then the Renaultsport Megane is the way to go.
But the Megane's strength is that it covers so many bases so well. It's refined, economical, well-equipped, easy to drive and good value for money. Any car that can tick that many boxes deserves due consideration.
Renault Megane 1.5 dCi 110 Dynamique TomTom £19,800
Engine: 1.5-litre diesel unit producing 110bhp and 177lb.ft of torque
Transmission: Six-speed manual gearbox driving the front wheels
Performance: Top speed 118mph, 0-62mph in 12.1 seconds
Economy: 80.7mpg combined
Emissions: 90g/km CO2

Milwaukee—Archbishop Timothy Dolan will be the main celebrant of the dedication Mass celebrating Pope Benedict XVI's granting Minor Basilica status to Holy Hill, National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 19.
The Mass, open to the public, will include musical selections performed by singers and musicians from local parishes in the area. A featured piece will be "Salve Regina," sung by the Discalced Carmelite Friars. Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
With the new status, the internationally-acclaimed church will be referred to as The Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians. According to Archbishop Dolan, the archdiocese will refer to the beloved sacred site as The Basilica of Holy Hill.
The Mass is expected to draw religious dignitaries from across the Midwest and local civic leaders. The Friars are celebrating the 100-year anniversary of their arrival to Holy Hill.
During the dedication, symbols representing Pope Benedict XVI will be displayed, including his Coat of Arms, and a red and gold paneled umbrella. The umbrella symbolizes earlier times when it was held over the head of the pope as he visited a basilica. There will also be a small bell used when announcing the pope's coming and a plaque of dedication located in the back of the church. "Holy Hill is a national treasure of the Church, richly deserving of this status," Archbishop Dolan said. "The dedication Mass provides a wonderful opportunity for people of all faiths to attend and understand the Church in the midst of history and universality. Under the care of the Discalced Carmelites, Holy Hill and the National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians, remains a wonderful confluence of natural beauty, peaceful prayer, great spiritual nourishment, evangelical mission and the focal point of a vibrant local, regional and national church." The Minor Basilica status makes Holy Hill one of nearly 60 churches and the second in Wisconsin so honored in the United States. The Basilica of Saint Josaphat, a Minor Basilica, was named by Pope Pius XI in 1929.
The basilica process, initiated by the Discalced Carmelite Friars and supported by Archbishop Dolan last April, required dossier materials documenting Holy Hill as a place of pilgrimage and special devotion, and a center of historic significance, characterized by architecture and artistry. Annually more than 250,000 people visit Holy Hill. Ethnic groups from around the world make yearly pilgrimages to the National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians.
Holy Hill History
The history of Holy Hill extends back to the evangelization of the region by French explorer Jesuit Father Jacques Marquette, who is said to have surveyed the expansive beauty of the region from atop the hill. Since then the hill has became a special place of prayer and faith.
The early settlers to the Holy Hill area came in 1842 from the counties of Kerry, Cork and Waterford in Ireland. Around 1863 a French layman, Francois Soubrio, established for himself a small hermitage on the side of the hill. The locals, at first skeptical, eventually befriended him and sought his wise and prayerful counsel. Local farmers are said to have joined with him to build a cabin for the hermit and at the same time they made plans to build the first log chapel, the first permanent structure on the hill. At the first Mass, Father George Strickner dedicated the simple new chapel as the Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians.
In the mid-1800s, German immigrants began to settle and farm in the area. In June of 1906 the Discalced Carmelite Friars arrived at Holy Hill from Bavaria at the invitation of Archbishop Sebastian Messmer. Best recognized by their brown hooded habits, the Friars are responsible for the ministry, as well as the stewardship and care of the church and Shrine.
Following the French, the Irish and the Germans whose communities continue to be drawn to Holy Hill, Hispanics now come to make Corpus Christi Processions and Vietnamese come to walk the Way of the Cross.
A registered Wisconsin and United States landmark, Holy Hill and its accompanying Shrine and Monastery, sit atop one of the highest points in the southeastern part of the state. Located 1,350 feet above sea level, visitors are offered a commanding view of the area. Holy Hill remains a revered pilgrimage site for its religious significance, beauty and period architectural style.

Many Monthly Income Plans (MIP) skipped monthly dividends in May. While this is old news, investors would like to know whether the funds that declared dividends for that month were better performers than those who skipped payments? While apparently the answer should be 'yes', a little number tweaking shows that even those MIPs, which declared dividends, should not have paid dividends in the first place.
The month of May was certainly a period of mayhem for MIP investors. On an average, MIP funds, with a dividend option, gave an absolute negative return of 2.3%. All thanks to higher equity exposure, which backfired when the equity market tanked. While some MIP funds managers raised skipped dividends for the month, some other MIPs declared dividends for its investors.

Walking Through a MINDFIELD with Writer J.T. Krul
Writer J.T. Krul's comics career has been heating up in recent months, with DC tapping him to write several high-profile series such as the Green Arrow/Arsenal Rise & Fall, Blackest Night: Titans and the upcoming new Green Arrow. DC's newly minted Chief Creative Officer and key writer has commended the fellow Michigan State alum for his work in recent months, but while he's rising up the charts in DC books he's also finding time to build his own. In the next few months he'll be debuting his first creator-owned series over at Aspen MLT called Mindfield with artist Alex Konat.
Mindfield follows a handpicked group of secret agent operatives with telepathy – consider them the "thought police" in the war on terror. The missions they take – and the price they paid for their powers – is the central tenant of the series, which Krul describes as Bourne Identity meets 1984. With the first issue set to debut in June with a special #0 issue to be released in April, Newsarama talked with the California-based writer for more.
Newsarama: So J.T., what can you tell us about Mindfield?
Nrama: At the center of this book is the revival of the long-defunct government program MK: ULTRA. It's not something fabricated for the book – it actually existed. What led you to this, and what made the idea of reviving it so interesting?
Krul: I was researching the era of the counter-culture that blossomed in the 1950's and 1960's and came across the CIA activity in those days. I had heard of the MK: ULTRA program from things like Stephen King's Firestarter and such, but it was astounding to read about just how much effort and resources the CIA put into LSD experimentation. All of this activity stemmed from the Cold War, and given the current climate of the world today - and this nations war on terror - it made me ask: what would the government most want to have right now to combat such threats? I have always been a huge fan of dystopian fiction like 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451- and this story began to gestate. Mindfield has that action/espionage element to it, but it also serves to explore our sense of humanity, and in some cases the lack thereof.
Nrama: The revived MK: ULTRA, now known as Project: Cobalt, has been revived by the CIA. What's it do exactly?
Nrama: And this trickles down to the test subjects --- CIA agents who were put through it in a way similar to how police officers are tasered to see how it feels before they do it to someone else. What are the thoughts behind this?
Krul: A little, but that's the big problem with the project, and the main challenge for the agents - nobody really knows what to expect. It's completely uncharted territory. This is a fact we'll touch upon early in the story as those in charge try to keep their agents under control and ready for action. The process the agents endured was daunting and extreme, and they are all considered damaged goods - but as long as they deliver, the ends justify the means.
Nrama: What are the long-term side effects of undergoing this treatment?
Krul: Again, that's just it. The long-term effects are unknown. The agents are kind of alone, as they try to navigate through this new landscape they find themselves exposed to. In order to keep their abilities, the agents are forced to continue to medicate themselves with a strange drug cocktail - which serves to extend their psychic journey, if you will.
Nrama: According to what Aspen has told, front and center in this book is two CIA agents – Connor and Erika. Can you tell us about them?
Nrama: Erika is Connor's partner in this, and for this book your partner is artist Alex Konat. What's he bring to the story?
Krul: Alex is the real deal. He's done a few things for DC, such as Gotham Gazette, and he is making his presence known with Mindfield. He's got a tremendous eye and attention to detail that brings a strong sense of realism to the book - which is great for the gritty aspects of this story. But at the same time, we're playing around with style and structure. I wanted this book to be very visual - really play with the look and feel of the book especially when it comes to the telepathic aspect of the book. He's doing amazing work, and we are lucky to have him on the project.
Nrama: Lastly…. your career seems to be hitting its stride at the tail end of 2009 and now here in 2010 with the announcements that you've got two big projects for DC. What's it like from your perspective, J.T.?

USA, 2014, 96 Minute Running Time
Two screenings only!
4 Minute Mile is the inspirational story of Drew (Kelly Blatz), a high school student struggling to overcome the inner-city surroundings that threaten to imprison him. After getting manipulated into running drug payments to a local dealer (Rhys Coiro), Drew has nowhere to turn in a family with a deadbeat older brother (Cam Gigandet) and an overwhelmed single mom (Oscar-winner Kim Basinger). His only outlet is track practice but that is taken from him as he continues down the path of his sibling; even the affections of a girl at school (Analeigh Tipton) can't set him straight. Just as it seems hopeless, an ex-track coach with his own demons (Oscar-nominee Richard Jenkins) witnesses Drew's speed and athleticism and decides to train him to reach for more than he ever imagined possible. Together they work towards finding solace in each other but Drew's resolve is threatened as tragedy strikes right before the biggest race of his life and forces him to confront everything that has been holding him back.

Fun fact, don't you think?
Yup - there is RMT in the new leagues.
Yup - there are bots in the new leagues.
Yup - the currency those bots make may well be going on sale.
Do I need to bot/buy currency to reach the top? No - I'll give an example, last 2-week Race I had 8 exalts 4 days in, just from casually doing Cruel Dominus boosts, no good drops.
I have played this game long enough to know this is a fucking lie.
I believe the part about 8 exalts in four days but there was nothing ''casual'' about it.
I have done similar things the first few days of a new season because I wake up, game all day, sleep and repeat during the first few days of a new season. Not limited to any particular type of play or trading, I do it all. Alt into fusings sell for chaos buy exalts,chaos recipes, selling items, gems ect, haggle. flip, do what you gotta do to get ahead. Last invasion league I bought a 5 exalt weapon on the third day.

Making of Ram-Leela: Ranveer Singh can't believe Priyanka Chopra could dance like that
Dailybhaskar.com | Oct 30, 2013, 15:31PM IST
Desi girl Priyanka Chopra has left her fans spellbound with her sensuous dance number "Ram Chahe Leela" in Ram-Leela. Priyanka Chopra comes out in an unbuttoned blouse and a dhoti, drying her hair as the song begins and starts dancing as if no one's watching.
The number choreographed by Prabhu Deva's brother Vishnu Deva has already garnered more than 2.7 million views on YouTube within nine days of its release.
Ram-Leela actor who is the sole audience of Priyanka's modern mujra can't stop praising the actress and just says, "Can you believe it, I can't believe it."
About her item song, Priyanka says, "The composition of the song is very very nice and this will be my favourite song for long long time. It was hard. My feet are cut, my knees are bruised, my thighs are bruised. The song required a lot of discipline, balance and grace."
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is very particular about each and every step and all Priyanka did was sit and watch Vishnu and Sanjay discuss completely different things together. While Priyanka hopes to live to Vishnu's expectations, Vishnu Deva confirms Priyanka is a wonderful dancer who catches every step very quickly.

Want Changes at Sprint? Send a Tweet to @masason
SoftBank is now one step closer to acquiring Sprint Nextel If the U.S. Federal Communications Commission signs off on the deal, as expected, SoftBank founder and chief executive Masayoshi Son will soon become chairman of the number-three U.S. wireless carrier.
When pitching the deal to Sprint shareholders, Mr. Son argued that the practices that made SoftBank successful as Japan's number-three carrier will transfer to the U.S. But one has to wonder, will Mr. Son's Twitter habits go over well on the other side of the Pacific?
With 1.9 million followers, the colorful billionaire is one of Japan's most followed Twitter accounts. The vast majority of his tweets are in Japanese, although he occasionally tweets in English. He is best known for replying to customers with a simple "let's do it" and then following up with "it's done."
SoftBank tracks all of Mr. Son's "let's do it" tweets on the company's website. Since 2010, Mr. Son has sent out 164 such tweets. The first request was from a customer who wanted to donate money from a SoftBank phone to Haiti earthquake disaster relief. While Mr. Son didn't use the words "let's do it," he did reply "let's consider it." The company added a feature to its phones four
days later, making it the first of Mr. Son's tweets to be moved to the "it's done" category.
Of 164 "let's do it" tweets from Mr. Son, SoftBank said 160 have been classified as "done."

The HYPER STAR Pro kit (unassembled) is loaded with a lot of innovative new
features improving handling, suspension, and balance. A front Pivot ball
suspension system and a B-Type rear suspension has been installed to give you an
ultra smooth steering performance and balanced rear traction. Handling in high
and low speed cornering has been increased with front and center spider diffs
and 17mm big bore shocks. CNC chassis braces have been added to keep the chassis
rigid and firm but with enough flex to keep handling spot on. A lightened T7075
CNC aluminum chassis and captured steering links from the steering rack to the
steering knuckle are some of the other vast amount of upgrades made to make this
kit the high performance buggy of choice.
The Hyper Star incorporates a front Pivot Ball Suspension design, also
referred to as PBS. This PBS suspension gives the Hyper Star a pro feel and
adjustability not found in front C-Hub designs. The large CNC aluminum pivot
balls are attached by steel threaded shafts making the connection to the nylon
knuckle super strong and light weight. Also noted in the picture, you can see a
clean arm design flow with attention to detail. Transmission power is provided
to the front wheels by a pair of harden steel universal axles supported by large
8x16mm ball bearings.
Hard-coated and threaded, the 17mm big bore shocks provide smooth performance
and long stroke travel for tough conditions, rough tracks and super cross style
jumps. Add that to the 4mm shock shafts, dust boots and adjustable collars for a
good shock package.
Brakes have been updated with ceramic materials for strong stopping power
along with beautifully crafted CNC brake discs. Getting the buggy down to speed
or helping with articulation off a jump will not be a problem with these
The newly designed center mount is one molded piece that keeps the center
spider gear protected from hard braking and acceleration. The top aluminum plate
is eliminated to reduce weight. The brakes are fully covered with a shroud to
keep the brake pad dry even when overfilling your fuel tank.
The Hyper Star big includes two chassis braces. These CNC braces give
strength to the centerline of the chassis for those demanding tracks. Lightened
and nicely etched, the braces come standard in the kit.
Hyper Star's engine sits at 25 degrees of angle. This gives the chassis a
better centerline stance without sacrificing the centered driveline allowing the
center front and rear universals to be straight and bind free. This signature
Hyper 9 design also offers centerline balance for those high CG engine cooling
The newly designed radio box packs a lot of features. The flip lid gets you
to your battery and receiver. A spring loaded antenna mount ensures no broken
antennas. A mount for your switch and integrated transponder holder/lid so
if you can't remember your transponder number you can get easy access.

BOSTON (AP) -- Rita Jeptoo of Kenya successfully defended the Boston Marathon title she said she could not enjoy a year ago after the fatal bombings.
Jeptoo finished Monday's race in a course-record 2 hours, 18 minutes, 57 seconds. She becomes the seventh three-time Boston Marathon champion.
Jeptoo broke away from a group of five runners at the 23-mile mark. Buzunesh Deba finished second with an unofficial time of 2:19:59.
American Shalane Flanagan finished fifth after leading for more than half the race. She took a gamble by setting the early pace. She ran her first mile in 5 minutes, 11 seconds, but fell back on the Newton Hills about 21 miles into the race.
BOSTON (AP) -- The winner Boston Marathon men's race had the names of last year's victims written in marker on the corners of his race bib.
Meb Keflezighi , the first American to win the men's race since 1983, wore his official runner's bib with the names of the three people killed in last year's marathon as well as the name of a police officer from MIT who was allegedly killed by the bombing suspect several days later.
Keflezighi, a former New York City marathon winner and Olympic medalist, says he hoped to have his picture taken with the victims' families after his win Monday, but they weren't immediately available.

The Vedics created an elaborate science spanning yoga, meditation and diet for pooling this higher-dimensional energy, which they termed "prana," into their bodies. The Taoists developed a similar science for cultivating "chi." Early in the 20th Century, Nikola Tesla theorized the existence of "scalar" waves (subsequently popularized by Tom Bearden) that transcend spatial limitations and are capable of acting instantaneously at a distance. Tesla created a prototype scalar system for free electricity using no generators or wires. Later, Wilhelm Reich became famous experimenting with "orgone" energy. Aether, prana, chi, scalar, orgone—all are names for the light-based aspect of the same spiritual or torsion energy that gave (and continues to give) rise to the holographic multiverse.

I propose we rename "junk" DNA potential DNA and understand it as the human organism's ener-genetic interface with a higher-dimensional "life-wave" responsible for giving rise to a particular physical form through RNA transcription of DNA codes.

What if, by introducing healing sounds and intentions to the genome, sounds and intentions that derive from the same unified torsion energy of Source that I will argue ... is unconditional love, it is possible to key transposons in potential DNA to rearrange themselves and play the energy body in a higher octave, one more in tune with the unlimited creative consciousness of nonlocalized mind? What if we can thus raise the harmonics of our system of electromagnetic fields and fully align ourselves with our Higher Selves? What if by raising our vibratory frequency from within, we can repattern our electromagnetic blueprint and seal the Fragmentary Body, allowing us to transcend limiting dualistic patterns and elements related to these patterns—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual?

It is crucial that we understand the evolutionary engine behind this momentous developmental stage for our species, unconditional love, not as a weak abstraction but as an omnipotent creational force of torsion energy that birthed—as it is still birthing—everything in the multiverse, including ourselves. Unconditional love is aptly named because the creative principle of love places no conditions on its creations, allowing for the exercise of free will in the karmic cycle of evolving human consciousness. The Bible sums up this foundational concept in three words: God is love. For the ancient Egyptians and Mayans, to cite but two examples, such infinite love associated with the life-giving feminine principle emanates from Galactic Center, also called the Central or Healing Sun.

The notion that everything is energy or consciousness directly applies to human biology. The materialistic, "Era I" view of the body as a machine that may run on energy but is somehow distinguishable from it is fast giving way to undeniable evidence that we, too, at our most fundamental level, are manifestations of conscious energy. The holographic model ... views the ostensibly physical universe in terms of intersecting electromagnetic frequencies that, in effect, project the staggering illusions we think of as the world … and ourselves.

After a grueling and futile two days trying to capture a juvenile gull with a beer can around its neck, a Bay Area animal rescue group is seeking help to buy equipment that could have gotten the job done quickly and enabled the group to direct its efforts to other afflicted birds.
The gull that has frustrated all attempts to capture it is one of several spotted in the Bay Area recently with sliced-open beer cans around their necks, in what the group WildRescue described as acts of animal abuse.
"We spent yesterday and a good part of today trying to lure it close, but no dice," Rebecca Dmytryk of WildRescue said Saturday. A $3,500 net launcher would have solved the problem, she said.
"If we had had this yesterday, the young gull would be flying, free of that awful beer can," Dmytryk said. "But it's still stuck in a race against time."
Since mid-August, she said, there have been confirmed sightings of as many as five birds with beer cans stuck around their necks like a collar at several locations, including Half Moon Bay, Fishermen's Wharf in San Francisco, and Stinson Beach.
With cold weather coming, the collars make the afflicted birds' lives even more miserable and likely will lead to their deaths, Dmytryk said.
WildRescue is collaborating with International Bird Rescue and the San Francisco Department of Animal Care and Control in the rescue effort.
Dmytryk asks anyone who sees a bird with a beer can around its neck or who wants to volunteer or otherwise contribute to the cause of wild animal rescue to e-mail email@example.com.
She asks the public not to try to capture the birds on their own, but immediately call WildRescue's pager at 831-429-2323 to report a sighting.
Checks can be mailed to WildRescue at P.O. Box 65, Moss Landing, CA 95039. WildRescue is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Olofsson, P, Eklundh, L, Lagergren, F, Jonsson, P, Lindroth, A (2007). Estimating net primary production for Scandinavian forests using data from Terra/MODIS. ADVANCES IN SPACE RESEARCH, 39(1), 125-130.
AbstractA model for estimating net primary production (NPP) across Scandinavia has berm developed. The model is based on the light-use efficiency (LUE) concept, where NPP is calculated as a product of the amount of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR) and a LUE-factor (epsilon) controlling the efficiency by which vegetation transforms photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) into biomass. The fractional APAR (FAPAR) is obtained by a linear transformation of 250 m normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). Prior to the transformation, the NDVI time series were seasonally adjusted by fitting local asymmetric Gaussian curves to the data thereby minimizing Cloud contamination and other noise factors such as BRDF-related variation. The APAR is then calculated as a product of FAPAR and incident PAR, where the latter is obtained from the Swedish Regional Climate Modelling Programme (SWECLIM). The LUE-factor is modeled as a daily function of temperature, latitude, and day of the year (DOY). The FAPAR dataset was validated against measurements of fractional intercepted PAR (FIPAR) that were carried out at Norunda experimental site in central Sweden (60 degrees 5'N, 17 degrees 29'E) between August and October, 2001. The calculated FAPAR time series are in good agreement with the measurements. The modeled NPP is evaluated against flux measurements carried out in Norunda 1997-1999. The determination coefficients obtained when comparing modeled with measured data are R-2 = 0.82 for 2000 (RMSE = 2.71 g C m(-2) d(-1)), and R-2 = 0.68 for 2001 (RMSE = 3.57 g C m(-2) d(-1)) (time series averaged every 10th day).

A hologram of Michael Jackson made its debut Sunday at the Billboard Music Awards, mirroring the late King of Pop's signature slick dance moves as some members of the audience became emotional.
The hologram performed "Slave to the Rhythm," a song from Jackson's new posthumous album "Xscape," along with a plethora of background dancers, beaming lights and fire blasts.
It was easily the biggest moment at the awards show at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The hologram appeared to interact with living dancers on stage after stepping down from a golden throne. The illusion was unexpectedly powerful when the hologram was alone on stage.
