SUBMITTED: Monday, September 15, 2014POSTED: Monday, September 15, 2014
My name is Paul Tibbetts and I am the new owner of the NYS Franchise here in San Antonio. I sincerely apologize for your experience. I spoke with the previous management and it seems like the coach never submitted payment through NYS. We did however still order the pictures and trophies for the team! According to my staff, we attempted to call everyone informing them that we were going to cover the cost of the pictures and trophies even though the coach did not turn it in. We never want to leave a child disappointed. We do not hold pictures and trophies from seasons past three years old, but we would gladly mail you anything you missed from this miscommunication. I know at this point the damage is already done, so I apologize. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Parents dont enroll kids to NYS
SUBMITTED: Monday, February 17, 2014POSTED: Monday, February 17, 2014
I do not recommend this organization for any parents nor any children who really want to learn the right way to play soccer AKA football in other countries, this organization is not organized and will not show your child or little player how to play this beautiful game.. this organization will take your money and run, website looks to be legit for this organization based out of another state but not for Texas. This organization is good for 1st year players learning how to kick a ball, which is something that can be taught at home and not pay $85.00.. This organization does not have any coaches and has no practice fields assigned..you have to hope that a parent in the team your assigned to knows how to coach or has coached already for other teams outside of this organization, basically once you're on a team you have to find your own coach to coach your kid and hope there teaching the right way, but as what director has said this is what you get for $85, you get a jersey no short no socks nor chin guards, but you get a jersey and a field to play on for Saturdays, which you can do all on your own expense...I would high recommend you do your research 1st before signing up with NYS… this is only for 1st year players

the positive buzz created by the changes. We would hope you would take the time to give us an opportunity to show what great programs we have to offer!
In regards to photos and trophies, team representatives pick up those items to distribute to the members of their team. Unfortunately, if those individuals do not uphold their end of the process, that would upset families who order these items. Now that we are under NEW management and leadership, if this issues has still not been resolved, you can contact our corporate office directly at 623-298-2341 ext 101 and we will be happy to rectify everything for you and those members of your team!

Council homes to be tested for radon gas threat
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Health and also in Housing
Council homes to be tested for radon gas threatImage: Floor via Shutterstock
Around 1,150 council houses in Highland are to be tested for radon gas.
Public Health England (PHE) is set to send tenants test kits and instructions on how to use them at the end of August.
Highland is one of 16 local authorities in Scotland which has areas with a presence of radon exceeding recommended levels.
Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, cannot be seen, heard, felt or tasted, and comes from the tiny amounts of uranium that occur naturally in all rocks and soils.
Present in all parts of the UK, the gas disperses outdoors so levels are generally very low. Each individual breathes it in throughout their lives, and for most UK residents radon accounts for half of their total annual radiation dosage.
However, geological conditions in certain areas, including some parts of the Highlands, can lead to higher than average levels.
PHE recommends that action should be taken to reduce radon levels in houses where the radon concentration is measured at or above the action level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre (Bq m-3).
Testing for radon is a straightforward process. Two small detectors are placed in a house for three months after which they are sent for analysis.
Where a high level of radon is present, steps can be taken to reduce the level, normally by increasing the ventilation under a suspended floor or sucking out the radon from under a solid floor, using a fan.
PHE has emphasised that there is no need for any immediate concern and there is no acute risk from radon. Any risk is due to long-term exposure.
PHE is contacting to tenants in parts of Badenoch and Strathspey; Wester Ross Strathpeffer and Lochalsh; Caol and Mallaig; Landward Caithness; East Sutherland and Edderton; Dingwall and Seaforth; and Aird and Loch Ness.
Private householders are being encouraged to check the radon maps available at http://www.ukradon.org/.

On GoofinessWednesday, October 7th, 2015
I am nudging ahead with the second chapter of Fir Valley, working on page layouts and pencilling. I guess I should get the first chapter (and other things) set up in the store so people can check it out. It continues to be decadent for me to have time to work on this. Time to go for a good walk every day. Time to spend with Manien.
As I work on Fir Valley, I am finding it is coming out quite serious, and hope that it isn't too grim. Whenever I co-write a comic with someone else, it ends up having a lot of goofiness. So that is just something I am thinking about, balancing the serious with the silly.
I am considering colouring Fir Valley. I quite liked how the colours came out on my transit comic, and thought I might continue in that vein.
Here is a joke Manien made because she knew it would make me laugh (it did).
Here are some quick drawings capturing assorted singing and goofing around on a day Manien and I went on a picnic by the Olympic Village. I am enjoying drawing my slightly shaggy hair.
We saw four spiders that had all built webs around the same Awesome Spot.
And here is a drawing I did of Duncan Trussel from this talk.

One of the stimulus-funded alternative energy companies that National Legal and Policy Center reported about most the last few years was A123 Systems, which the Department of Energy awarded $279 million to crank out special batteries for electric vehicles.
The examples of government failures in picking successes in industries and economies are countless, with President Obama's plan for subsidies of a million electric cars on U.S. roads by 2015 serving as Exhibit One. He was only off by several hundred thousand.
The auction for the assets and business of green stimulus recipient A123 Systems has been won by Chinese auto parts manufacturer Wanxiang Group, which aggressively sought the electric vehicle battery maker at least since the summer.
The successful bid – reported to be about $260 million – follows weeks of warnings by the U.S. government, congressmen and a group of former military and other leaders that transfer of the Massachusetts-based company would compromise American jobs, technology and security. The auction attempts to address some of those concerns, as Wanxiang was not awarded any of A123's contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense. Instead the company's "government business," including all its military contracts, was awarded to Illinois-based Navitas Systems.
The Chinese government, unsurprisingly, has approved a potential sale of stimulus-funded ($279 million-plus) A123 Systems to one of its own automobile parts manufacturers, should the Wanxiang Group's bid be the highest this week for the bankrupt electric vehicle battery maker.
That was the easy part.
So far Republican Sens. Charles Grassley (Iowa) and John Thune (S.D.) have repeatedly raised questions and concerns about the possible transfer of A123's business, jobs and technology from the U.S. – where taxpayers have thrown in approximately $132 million only to see many times that amount in losses since its 2009 initial public offering – to China. They're no longer the only voices speaking out against the transaction.
President Obama's penchant for flushing taxpayer money down the green energy toilet lives at least another four years, and his crony supporters continue to benefit.
The latest example is the pending sell-off of assets by bankrupt A123 Systems, which was awarded upward of $279 million in stimulus funds, plus other assorted government grants and contracts. The top executives who presided over its failure – and supported the president's cap-and-tax initiatives early in his term – are likely to receive millions of dollars in bonuses, thanks to their scheming earlier this year and a bankruptcy court judge.
Is it back to China for Obama-boosted battery maker A123 Systems?
In August the Massachusetts stimulus recipient (more than $279 million, plus a bundle of other government contracts) announced that Wanxiang Group would infuse the failing company with quick cash as part of a plan to assume as much as 80-percent ownership. A barrage of questions and concerns followed – most prominently from Republican Sens. Charles Grassley (Iowa) and John Thune (South Dakota) – about the logistics of the deal, the potential relocation of taxpayer-funded jobs overseas, and the protection of U.S.-financed technology. Required approval by both the Chinese and U.S. governments seemed to be a high hurdle.
Taxpayer stimulus waster A123 Systems has not only declared financial bankruptcy – its executives also seem to be driving toward moral bankruptcy as well.
CEO David Vieau and his lieutenants, after receiving well over $279 million in Recovery Act funds and at least $135 million from Michigan taxpayers, have run the company into the ground. Yet they have asked a bankruptcy court judge for his blessing to receive up to $4.2 million in executive and retention bonuses to see through the company's takeover, likely by Johnson Controls.
As Bloomberg reported today, stimulus-funded electric vehicle battery maker A123 Systems filed bankruptcy in federal court after failing to make a debt payment that was due. Milwaukee Business Times has reported that Johnson Controls will purchase the "automotive business assets" of A123 for $125 million, and that A123 will receive from Johnson $72.5 million in "debtor in possession" financing to continue operating during the sale process.
Regular readers won't be surprised, as the company's gradual sink to its current depths – despite receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayers – has been covered by NLPC since late last year. A review:
As stimulus-funded ($249 million-plus) A123 Systems sees its stock price drop back near its all-time low and waits for a Chinese rescue, two Republican senators want answers about whether taxpayer dollars are again funding jobs and technology that will be transferred overseas.
Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, the ranking minority member on the Judiciary Committee, and South Dakota Sen. John Thune queried A123 CEO David Vieau about the logistics of a proposed sale to China-based Wanxiang Group Corp. In August, just as the company reported another $82.9 million in second-quarter losses, a deal was announced in which Wanxiang would deliver $75 million in initial loans and then would buy $200 million of senior secured convertible notes, followed by a possible $175 million "through the exercise of warrants it would receive in connection with the bridge loan and convertible notes." If fully consummated, the end result could mean A123 ends up 80 percent Chinese.
Months ago, after they issued their most recent dismal quarterly earnings report, A123 Systems officials announced they would explore options in order to save the company, leaving the impression they were looking for a buyer.
On Tuesday the heavily subsidized electric vehicle battery manufacturer released its latest financial bad news, but also disclosed that it also had a potential buyer – from China. According to media reports, just as A123 reported another $82.9 million in second-quarter losses, good news also magically materialized as Wanxiang Group Corp. was announced as a new investor. A123 had reported recently to the Securities and Exchange Commission that its ability to continue as a viable company was "a going concern."
A week and a half ago cash-poor A123 Systems, recipient of $279 million-plus in federal money and millions more from the State of Michigan, announced it would access $39 million via a stock sale to institutional investors and the release of other cash after meeting requirements related to its existing reserves.
It has been downhill ever since – all the way down to its all-time low of 75 cents per share price Tuesday (and 69 cents Thursday morning). It may be too much for even these masters of the press release cycle to overcome by creating good news out of thin air.

I take it all back. With apologies to Villaman and Petrov himself I think he is at last starting to show promise.
Let's hope the results keep going our way - at last we're starting to win those games that we used to lose 2 or even 3 points in against crap sides (let's just put Stoke down as being a blip). If the Villa can gather the points the way they are at the moment and then win at least a couple of the big games, we could be right up there at the end of the season.
I know all the big teams come out with the standard "it isn't important" when they lose in the League Cup, but I have to say I'm glad we're out. Just noticed we'd have had Man United again if we'd have beaten QPR.
A great UEFA cup run and we'll be back on the map.
Up the Villa!

Petrov has not been consistant, has not proved his worth relating to his transfer fee, and does not deserve the faith MoN seems to have in him. I have seen more bad performances than good. He is mediocre, dull, and negative.

His true position is any place accross the midfield.....In fact he can play any out-field position.
Just as long as it's at another club!!!

My opinion for what it is worth.
Thought Petrov was a liability last season.....saw him against Man Citeh.........not impressed, maybe if he played in his correct position, he would play to his true potential.
What is his true position anyway?
I think he does a good job. He is not worth £8m and that hangs around his neck like a millstone. I would give him a new contract, he probably will lose his place when everyone is fit but we will need him if we have a good UEFA run and when Saint Gareth eventually F*cks off.
Good work, Slag off Petrov who tries his best and wants to play for the club. Harewood next?
You went to great lengths to explain why Barry should 'be given a chance', but not Petrov?

Villaman - it's my opinion and I'm not forcing it on anyone which is why I asked for opinions.
Let's agree to disagree. I wouldn't criticize his effort in any way but I don't think he's a decent player. Barry is.
As for Harewood - I think he has a lot to prove too. Harewood is still fairly new and could get better. I think Petrov has been around long enough to have become a good player and in my opinion he hasn't managed it.

So #$%$ what if it offends anyone. Just because the National Front use the Union Jack, big deal. You won't find any black or asian people complaining about it, it's always the white liberal lefties who complain about it. I remember on St.Georges day a couple of years ago a local council got into trouble for putting up the flag on their offices. Raise those flags, let the nation take a stand against this petty minded do gooding. Land of Hope and Glory should be played from speaker stacks on every street corner this summer. C'mon England. It's also nice to hear pcase is on our side on this issue.
State Flags don't count, we're talking about an entire Nation here. Besides, Ol' Johnny Reb flys his flag all the time in Mississippi, law or no law.
A Yahoo! User Jan 31, 2006 05:39 Flag
Thats Because they were racist and still are in parts, the Union jack has now been linked to nationalism, why does it always boil back to religion?
Allthe others in the UK fly their flag, so should we, stick with the good old cross of St G himself
It shouldn't be that big of a suprise. In some of the southeastern states like Mississippi they aren't allowed to fly their old flags because they are considered to be linked with racism.
For those of us who live 6000 miles away, which flag is associated with racism, The George cross or the Union Jack, and who is it racist against or what supremacy group is it associated with? I'm stunned that you can't fly your own flag...that's just unbelieveable.
A Yahoo! User Jan 31, 2006 03:27 Flag
Crazy but true. The Union flag is considered racist by some PC idiots. Sodding beaurocrats, cant stand em!
Is that true? You can't fly the flag because of offense to minorities? That's friggin crazy. Then again I have seen Gypsy wagons parked on the edge of public roads in Kent, which I also think is crazy.
A Yahoo! User Jan 30, 2006 16:18 Flag
all that will change in Germany 2006 when the St.Georges cross, and dare I say the Union Jack, will be flying high.
I still get emotional when I remember Kelly Holmes' double gold in Athens, so I'm hoping for more from the lads this year when we once again rule Germany from Bonn to Berlin!!!
I don't recall saying Northern Ireland had no decent players? Maybe you should ask your English friends what they think Mick?

Wednesday Dec. 3, 2008
NEW YORK (AP) -- NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has summoned Sean Avery to New York for a hearing tomorrow on remarks that resulted in the indefinite suspension of the Dallas Stars' instigator.
Bettman disciplined Avery yesterday for making "inappropriate public comments, not pertaining to the game." The punishment came down only hours after Avery used a crude term about his former girlfriends now dating other hockey players.
Avery missed last night's game against the Calgary Flames and will be held out of this evening's outing in Edmonton. The league does not have a timetable for when a decision would be made after the meeting.
Stars owner Tom Hicks says he "completely supports the league's decision to suspend Sean Avery." And he adds, "Had the league not have suspended him, the Dallas Stars would have."

I like playing this game and I am always meeting new people and love the scatters. I do not care for the games with the sparkles in the background, though. I do like the new daily spins which award more points....and the fast tournaments. I just got a new phone, and had issues, but the customer service people rock and put me back in the play. Still playing and having a blast. I like the new sticker game too
Hate it It always closes right in the middle of spins, it doesn't credit me when I win big & BF says "all wins are recorded & we can't find your win" I'm showing you a screen shot of my win! Pay me! Such a joke! I don't win 25% of the time & they say their set as a real casino! Dude, it's a game loosen the damn slots! STINGY BIG FISH!!!! This game is a joke and if you complain on their Facebook they delete it and you from posting. That's why all the reviews are positive on their Facebook! Terrible payouts!!!

Lots of a casino love the latest version with the spin wheej games. ..WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET $200.00 and more pay outs...every 30 minutes...for nothing but playing with this app collect...wish the payouts were real...not to mention the $2000.00 every 30 mutes...HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!!!!!HAS EVERY GAME YOU CAN THINK OF...there's no reason for bordum the best games are constantly updated .

Ukraine's post-Maidan authorities have embarked upon an ambitious reform programme to improve the country's framework for investment and strengthen the country as an attractive investment destination. This review, which was prepared in close cooperation with the Ukrainian authorities in response to their 2011 request to adhere to the Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises (OECD Declaration), analyses the general investment framework as well as recent reform, and shows where further efforts are necessary. It assesses Ukraine's ability to comply with the principles of openness, transparency and non-discrimination and its policy convergence with international investment standards such as the OECD Declaration. In light of the recently updated OECD Policy Framework for Investment, it also studies other areas such as investment promotion and facilitation, infrastructure development; financial sector development and responsible business conduct practices. In the scarcely two years since a new attempt at economic reforms was launched in earnest, Ukraine has made quite important progress in introducing a modern legal framework for investment. But additional efforts are required in some policy areas to reaffirm Ukraine's attractiveness for investors.
Competitive neutrality means that state-owned and private businesses compete on a level playing field. This is essential for the effective use of resources within the economy and thus the achievement of growth and development. While the principle of competitive neutrality is gaining wide support around the world, obtaining it in practice is a much more difficult question.
The Greek government and the OECD are working together to assess the costs and benefits of regulations restricting competition in the tourism, retail trade, food processing and construction materials sectors and to propose specific recommendations for change.
The Romanian government and the OECD are working together to assess the costs and benefits of regulations restricting competition in the construction, freight transport and food processing sectors and to propose specific recommendations for change.
In June 2016, the OECD held a roundtable session to provide an overview of the merger control thresholds and local nexus criteria currently in place in various countries, and discuss law changes since the adoption of the 2005 OECD Council Recommendation on Merger Review.
Firms can use fidelity rebates or loyalty discount schemes to offer better prices to buyers in exchange of their loyalty. Such schemes may sometimes prevent rivals from competing effectively. The OECD Competition Committee held a roundtable to discuss the topic in its June 2016 meeting. Access the documentation.
Over the last decade, an increasing number of competition authorities have obtained powers to adopt commitment decisions in antitrust cases. In June 2016, the OECD Competition Committee will hold a roundtable to discuss agencies' experiences and explore arguments in favour of and against the use of commitment decisions, judicial review of commitment decisions, and the relationship between commitment decisions and damages actions.
Significant corruption, labour, human rights and environmental risks are associated with the organisation of large sporting events. The OECD has instruments and expertise in implementation of complex projects can help host governments, event organisers and their business partners ensure that the world of sport remains associated with the traditional values of excellence and fair play.
Disruptive innovations are beginning to transform legal services and the manner in which they are delivered. Competition authorities can play a role in advocating for regulatory systems that reflect current market realities and ensure market access for pro-competitive disruptive innovations.
The 2016 edition looks at past over-investment in certain sectors, the reversal of the commodity "supercycle"; the implications of low interest rates for corporate and institutional investors; the productivity performance of companies; the profitability of clean energy projects; the fiscal incentives for R&D and innovation.

Carnivore is an open-air restaurant in the Langata suburb of Nairobi, Kenya. Carnivore's specialty is meat, and features an all-you-can-eat meat buffet. They serve a wide variety of meat and are famous for their game meat. It is a popular tourist destination.[1]
In 1999, the restaurant seated 350 people and the restaurant's 330 employees served over 1000 people per day.[1] The game, including giraffe, wildebeest, ostrich and crocodile, is raised on Hopcraft Ranch, 25 miles outside Nairobi.[1] The meat is skewered on Maasai swords and cooked on coals, and the meat is served on cast-iron plates.[1] It does have a vegetarian option.[1] It ranked 47th on the 2003 "The World's best 50 restaurants" list by UK-based Restaurant Magazine.[2] [3]
Simba Saloon[edit]
There is also a "Simba Saloon" night club on the premises with a capacity of 2,500,[1] as well as an internet cafe, playground, and six bars.[1] The restaurant holds concerts with local artists performing. International artists such as Shaggy, Tevin Campbell. T.O.K and Sean Paul have also performed there.[citation needed] Three people died in a stampede at the saloon in 2004.[4] The restaurant is famous for themed nights that incorporate old skul, rock and soul nights to the merriment of many Kenyans.
Tamarind Group[edit]
Carnivore is owned by Martin Dunford[1] of the Tamarind Group. It was opened in 1980 by Dunford, his wife, and a group of partners.[1] He opened the Carnivore inspired on the Rodízio concept of Brazilian Churrascaria steak houses.[1] The Tamarind Group operates Tamarind seafood restaurants in Mombasa and Nairobi. There is also another similar restaurant named Carnivore, owned by the same people, on the outskirts of Johannesburg, South Africa,[1] and another in Cairo, Egypt.[citation needed]

I'm using MM Forms plugin. The actual forms work fine, they collect the data just fine.
The problem is when I try to export, the download CSV option produces no file. Instead, I get a 404 error. In detail, here's the process:
- On the main MM Forms admin page, I click the "Export" option for the form I want
- The "download now" link is then generated under the "Download CSV" column there, and I click on that to download the CSV
- Instead of getting the CSV, I get a 404 error page - e.g. http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-forms/exports/Contact-form-1.csv
Unfortunately the folks at MM have thus far refused any assistance unless I pony up 30Euro for support. However, I don't believe this is a support issue but rather a BUG - here's why:
- I've disabled all other plugins and I'm testing this with the default WordPress theme, so I've pretty much ruled out plugin and theme conflicts.
- I'm using the plugin with all of its default settings, so user error can be eliminated.
- I've setup and made all the directories writeable as noted in the instructions at http://plugins.motionmill.com/mm-forms/.
Yet this plugin still does not seem to export properly to the desired directories - I get a 404 error each time I try to download the export, because it is never actually created. Sounds like a bug.
Anybody else figure this out?
Any chance tom belmans, technology expert at motionmill, or Wannes De Loore also of motionmill would be able to provide some advice?

I am currently using /index.php/archives/%... for my permalinks, are there any cons to using index.php instead of getting .htaccess and mod_rewrite working together (I have mod_rewrite on my virtual server, I just did not want to bother with .htaccess)?
I am very impressed with WP! I have no experience with this kind of stuff but thanks to a great hosting company (aplus.net -unix/Solo XR plan) and WP it was extremely easy to setup.
These forums are great! I have found tons of info on almost everything I have searched for (lots of stuff since I am so new).

At Voices.com You're Competing with Pros
By Lin Parkin
June 2, 2014
Voices.com has been a great boost to my VO career. Besides being a super easy site to navigate, Voices.com sends so many auditions that I actually have to pick and choose which auditions to take.
Early on as a beginner it was tempting to audition for everything that came to my inbox - and I did. But over time, thanks to a few conversations with their helpful staff, receiving some coaching, and observing the jobs I was actually booking, I've become more selective and started booking a higher ratio of auditions.
I also appreciate the Escrow Service that Voices.com provides. It lets me know that when I book a job I am going to get paid in a timely manner. That's cool.
You wouldn't consider buying your own set of football pads and a helmet and then venture into a professional hockey game. The same is true with voice-over. Just because you've purchased top-notch equipment doesn't mean you're ready to compete with the pros.
My advice:
1. Get coaching. You're competing alongside some great talents.
2. Get good gear and a good (sound-treated) space in which to record.
3. Then get an account with Voices.com.

But here are some details for those who don't pick up the magazine. We know that several of the old characters from the original Street Fighter will be featured. These characters include Blanka, Dhalsim, Ryu and Ken, Guile, E. Honda, Zangief, and yes even our favorite thick thighed Chun Li will return.
As for new characters, Capcom is keeping most of them under wraps. As for gameplay, we know it will be high rez but strictly 2D, which I am extremely pleased to hear. If your wondering what platforms it will be released for, it should be released for arcade, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. Despite being 2D the graphics may be too much for the Wii to handle, sorry Nintendo fans. Heres a screen shot that should give you an idea of what the graphics should be like.
This game looks very promising. Hopefully it will be able to live up to the hype and anticipation that a 10 year wait has created. Finally, here is a video of a few characters, some old, and some new, but the video definately gives me hope that the game will be as good or better than we all want it to be.

Courtesy of 2005 Boards Member Automaster we bring you news of more Transformers Animated toy listings that have appeared in Wal-Mart's computers! The listings back up those we had previously of a Deluxe Class Swindle, Blurr and Waspinator, plus Voyager Class Wreck Gar and Skywarp, but they also reveal the existence of two new Transformers Animated toys – in the Deluxe Class, an Arcee "Sleek Car", and in the Voyager Class Shockwave! There was also a further listing for something called "Electro Static S" which might be a part of a name of a repaint – maybe the name of the Lockdown Redeco who was shown off at Botcon? As always we will update you as soon as more news is available.

Automaster says
I have a very good friend who is an associate manager at Wal-mart. He called me today and let me know that we're going to be getting a Voyager Shockwave, Wreckg (presumably Wreck-Gar), deluxe Blurr, and Swindle, Waspinator, an Arcee Sleek Car plus something called Electro Static S according to his computer order stuff.

Ktulu says
Unheard of you say?
Beastbot X says
Nice to get confirmation on Arcee, I'd pretty sure we knew about all the others, though.
Incepticon says
We knew about them, but I think this is the first pseudo confirmation that Shockwave will be a Voyager (yay!) and that Swindle will be a Deluxe (boo!).
Beastbot X says
No, we had confirmation before that Swindle was a deluxe, at the same time we got news about Waspinator.
The news part of this is that Arcee is a deluxe. I think (but I'm not sure) that Shockwave was confirmed somewhere as a Voyager. Maybe said at Botcon, I dunno.
Sol Fury says
Thanks for the update!
Shockwave and Arcee are new to me, but it is always nice to have confirmation of other toys who have only been mentioned in other computer listings up until now. Looking at you, Wazzzzpinator.
Incepticon saysQuote:
Paladin says
Is the name actually Waspinator and not Wasp?
And yay, Arcee! He're hoping she's G1-inspired.
UltraDevmodious says
Ohhhhhh Skywarp! Arcee...as a car...that will be nice! I am very excited about Blurr and Wreck-Gar! Wap and Swindle will be nice once I see them I'm sure. And hell yeah...a voyager Shockwave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whenever these come out they will be hot ass waves! Can't wait!
SPLIT LIP says
This is awesome news. hopefully this means more plans for Arcee in S3. Shockwave as a Voyager = hells yes.
Animated Rocks so hard.
Hooray for Swindle, Skywarp and Wreck Gar! Blurr is also nice news.

Braekhus Dominates Emery, Nielsen Decisions Boulden
By Per Ake Persson
Herning, Denmark: Sauerland Promotion staged another TV 2 Fight Night at their Danish home at the MCH Kongrescenter in Herning:
The First Lady, Cecilia Braekhus, retained the WBA, WBC and WIBF female welterweight titles on scores of 98-92 twice and 99-91 against a very brave but outclassed challenger in Jill Emery. There were no knockdowns but Braekhus landed cleanly with solid rights in almost every round against her southpaw opponent. Emery kept coming but was outboxed.
Middleweight Patrick Nielsen moved to 9-0 with an eight-round unanimous points win over Gary Boulden 4-2-2. The Brit was down in the eighth from a southpaw left to the body and badly cut on the forehead after a clash of heads in a messy fight with more wrestling than boxing. It was scored 80-71 for Nielsen on all cards.
Danish junior welterweight Kasper Bruun took out inept Hungarian Janos Vass already after 2.30 of the first round. Vass was down twice. It was scheduled for eight.
Junior welterweight Kim Poulsen had it all too easy against smaller Hungarian Ferenc Szabo, who was floored three times in third for a stoppage at 2.07.
Former EBU welter champ Christian Bladt got a tough fight from Swede Cliff "Bazooka" Soukka, who started well with hard hooks from both hands but Bladt came back and was a little too experienced for Soukka, who tired. Soukka finished strongly though for a close loss on scores of 77-75 twice and 78-74.
Heavyweight Francesco Pianeta moved to 23-0-1 with third round TKO win over late replacement Ivica Perkovic from Croatia. Perkovic went down twice from the southpaw left hooks of Pianeta and retired at 1.23 of the third. It was scheduled for eight rounds.

MOUNT WASHINGTON - As overtimes go, the two plays that made up Bullitt East's big finish on Friday could not have been drawn up any better, even by a Hollywood script writer or by Charger head coach Doug Preston.
On the very first play of the extra time, the Chargers handed the ball to senior fullback Matt Husband and he found a huge hole on the left side of the line and he dashed into the end zone, giving Bullitt East the lead for the first time in the game against district rival Marion County.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - The fourth time was the charm on Monday as Bullitt East and Bullitt Central finally met in a boys' soccer match at the beginning of the final week of the regular season.
It has been a tough season for Bullitt Central and three previous times they had to postpone matches against their county rivals for numerous reasons. Finally, Bullitt East head coach Mike Brangers sent Bullitt Central a list of available dates for his program and told them to 'pick one.'
HILLVIEW - A 12-year veteran of the Hillview Police Department has been selected as the new chief.
Glenn Caple, who has served in law enforcement the past 18 years, was selected by Hillview mayor Jim Eadens to take control over the police department.
Aaron Yates resigned for another position in law enforcement after serving the past two years as Hillview's chief.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - A Bullitt District Court jury recently acquitted a man charged with two counts of sexual misconduct.
The six-member jury panel deliberated for nearly an hour before acquitting Nathaniel Hardy on the two misdemeanor accounts.
Hardy was charged for a Feb. 18, 2009, incident in northern Bullitt County. He also faces a felony charge on another incident involving his involvement with a teenage girl in Pioneer Village.
HEBRON ESTATES - The second of three straight 'big games' for the North Bullitt Eagles to close out the regular season will be on tap Thursday this week as the green and gold play host to district rival Marion County.
Both teams have already wrapped up a spot in the Class 5-A play-offs, but a home game in the first-round will be on the line for the winner. North Bullitt will get the number two seed behind Collins with a win while Marion County will get the district's number one seed if the Knights win on Thursday.
LOUISVILLE - Since 2002, the Alma Lesch Memorial Award has been presented annually at the Kentucky State Fair for fiber or textile work using innovation in color or technique. The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft administers the award, and is proud to announce that the 2010 Alma Lesch Memorial Award winner is Trish Korte for her piece titled "Red Vessel". Measuring 10" X 7" X 7", this felted vessel is made of merino wool and mohair and embellished with glass beads.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The final intra-county volleyball game of the regular season could well be a preview of the madness that could take place in next week's 29th District Tournament at North Bullitt.
Meeting in Shepherdsville on Tuesday, Bullitt East and Bullitt Central battled for every point before the Lady Chargers showed why there is very little difference between the top and bottom team in the district this season as the red and gold pulled out a 25-19, 24-26, 25-15 victory.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The area cross-country teams are still getting up to speed for the 2010 season but the early results have been promising, both on an individual as well as a team perspective.
Central Hardin Invitational
This past Saturday, a number of Bullitt Central and Bullitt East runners competed in the Central Hardin Invitational at Freeman Lake Park in Radcliff.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - When the structure of the adult and community education program was altered earlier this summer, there was some concerns.
However, Donna Miller, director of the Bullitt County campus of Jefferson Community and Technical College, believes both programs will land on their feet.
The college has taken over the management of the adult education program, while the Bullitt County Public School System still operates the community education portion.
"I think I have assembled an excellent team of teachers," said Miller.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - On the corner of First Street and Old Bardstown Road there's an abandoned fuel station that has stood unoccupied for so long the sign in front of it advertises gasoline for $1.84 a gallon.
For more than five years Code Enforcement Officer Mike Bowen has received several complaints about the property's poor maintenance and he's not the only one.
City Council members have been inundated with complaints as well.

Discussion in 'Classic Racquet Talk' started by proracketeer, Mar 1, 2010.
For comparison:
Seemed to be a popular headshape at the time. I always wondered if Kneissl copied the early Voelkl models as well.
No question that Puma's 1985 entry into raquet manufacture (with R & D likely extending back at least a year) was influenced by the other prevailing German brands of the time. Puma's had a "V Engine" shape in the throat, copied from Volkl. They also had an egg-shaped racquet face, borrowed from Kneissl. There was little/no interest in pursuing the American market, like Volkl then, until Becker basically made their choice for them. The pictured racquet is from Volkl's flagship mid-80s "World Cup" series, and appears to be the oversized model of that line (MS 45?).
Looking back on those fateful days, I can't help but wonder what would have happened to Puma if the instantaneous information transfer vehicle known as the internet had been readily available as it is now.
I sold Puma to one of the largest mail-order companies in the US at that time. By the week after Wimbledon, they had sold out of every Puma racket we could get to them. Folks would see Becker on TV, wonder what the heck racket that was, and then look in the back of Tennis Magazine to find the 800 number to call 'some' large mail order company to get info. You couldn't just sit at the computer and get the scoop.
It took a while to get the new Becker Puma models into the pipeline. Of course, folks bought what they could get initially, then Puma developed a model just for Becker. Confused the heck out of customers. And what the heck is a PowerControlSystem? Of course, they violated one of CoachRick's basic racket construction tenets...don't put moving parts in a tennis racket. Oh well, they didn't ask me!
It was a little harder to get the 'latest and greatest' back then. There were only a handful of quality mail-order companies and the pro shops still had a chance to be the first to get something 'hot'. Boy, has that all changed! Good thing we have Tennis Warehouse to take care of us!
Yes Colpo, now that you mention it, I remember the first time I saw Korda play, he was an 'unknown' going up against Becker shortly after Becker's Wimbledon win, and he was using a Puma as well. Seemed he was comfortable with the head shape - his Voelkl's weren't a lot different.
What's often forgotten is that the Puma line was actually built on the shoulders of Vilas as its first major endorser. Naturally, Tiriac was behind that deal for GV, although Vilas was no longer in his prime or Tiriac's #1 guy. Tiriac talked Becker into transitioning to a bigger frame from his GTX Pro, which Boris wielded to a QF finish in the 12/84 Australian. Boris's deal was then up with adidas, so Tiriac got him too into a Puma frame as well (different from GV's choice, though coincidentally Boris used a pj of the cheaper "G. Vilas" Puma model). Boris's career taking off that summer put alot more Pumas in other pros hands too, as the brand became viable, as Boris quickly supplanted GV as Puma's masthead player. Puma did give GV a fitting swan song, the 1986 "Vilas Power," one of the brawniest, best-looking 80s frames out there.
IIRC, the first of those Voelkl that had the 24% midsize head and plastic throat was the venerable "Servo" of the early 80's. The "Servo Soft" and "Servo Soft S" were really big sellers on the German market in the mid-80's. And yes, the head shape, size, and string pattern (down to the shared holes) seemed eerily similar to the later Puma Vilas and Becker models.
I played the Voelkl Worldcup MS24 (the mid version of the frame pictured in the first post above, and their most popular "pro" frame of the day, in the hands of virtually the entire USSR pro contingency, including Andrei Chesnokov) for a very brief period of time. It was a pretty lousy hit. I did get to meet Sylvia Hanika (who used the oversized yellow Worldcup at the time, IIRC) as part of that flirtation. And yes, she did bounce the ball dozens of times before each serve.
Great background info (as usual) from Colpo. I'd like to add that the abovementioned "Vilas Power" still was a "lesser" Puma model with the bulky plastic throatpiece bridge. So it was sort of a swan song/slap in the face. But at the time, poor Guillermo was in hot water as the scapegoat of the Guarantee money scandal that was racing through the ATP.
It's funny, but I'm not sure Puma or Volkl saw it that way or marketed their lines that way. Here in the USA, we see a plastic throat piece and visions of beat up Prince Pros and beginners' tennis parties swirl through our heads. However, Volkl's high-end frames through the later mid-80s featured composite throat pieces! For ex., their yellow World Cup line from '86 all had plastic throats with no attached stigma out there. The 1985 Puma line, pre-Becker fame, was flagshiped by the Black, Blue, and Red Puma plastic-throated models, all of which were "top of the line" and one of which was used by Vilas, at least cosmetically, on tour. certainly, by '86, Vilas was no longer the focus of Puma by a longshot, but they still gave him that beautiful "Power" model. You're right about the guarantees problem GV ran into - GV took a suspension in '83 and upon his return suddenly seemed like an older guy, even though '82 was a career year for him. He did have a brief happy renaissance in '86 - I saw him lose the Forest Hills final that spring to a spry Noah, but we all wanted "Gajermo" to pull out one more from his hat!
I've hit with a Servo Soft S before - handsome white racquet, incredibly flexible, you can almost see the bend! Easily pushed around, but if you're moonballing on slow Hamburg clay, you could do alot worse. And I so agree with you about the MS 24 - I wanted that frame to work for me very, very badly (I mean, c'mon - it's yellow!) but a crappy hit. No feel, club-like, just could not get it to agree with that other piece of reasonably important gear, strings!
Gotta say I do not recall Puma bats for sale in the US pre-Wimbledon '85. There was a mail-order shop in San Diego (not Ray's) then that always stocked crazy European frames that most folks slept on - maybe that was the shop you refer to? Tennis mag profiled Boris as an up and comer that spring pre-Wimbledon and used a photo of Boris at that year's French with his silver/red Puma and red Puma stencil - my reaction then was akin to "what the hell - Puma makes racquets?!?" I bought a Puma G. Vilas that summer in Europe after Becker's win and seeing the entire Puma line back then was like stumbling on a cache of moon rock!
The mail-order house I refer to was located in North Carolina(of all places!) but its name connected with a famous resort island in SOUTH Carolina. Nobody I knew cared at all about Puma sticks until BB's run at Wimbledon. We repped apparel(no shoes for us) and rackets...our 'flagship' was anything with Ralph Sampson's name attached to it(Sampson played basketball for U. of Virginia--located in my territory). Little known story...PUMA supposedly had first shot at signing Michael Jordan...decided they couldn't afford him!
Some of the tennis apparel was quite attractive in the next year or so. Martina(the original) looked pretty good in it as did a number of other players. The Puma designers had great ideas...just couldn't always get the clothing into production fast enough to meet demand--we were always canceling orders mid-season.
Puma decided not to use one of the great tag lines...
"If you're not the PREDATOR, you're the PREY!" I think it snuck(yes, it's a word now) onto a few T-shirts but that's all, IIRC.
Was that shop in SD Steve Furgal's?
Yes, sounds right. I was going to school there at the time and wanted to take a drive out there to see their advertised Volkl T9's, TR's, and Fischer Twin Tecs. I never did take that drive for some reason, but I recall it was maybe just outside the city limits I was familiar with, maybe north or east or northeast of town. I was just a PB rat back then - I knew Cass, Garnet, Mission, Bird Rock, and the local In N Out off the 5!
That Oz Open was the first that I'd ever laid eyes on both Becker and Edberg and they both impressed the hell out of me. I clearly remember Becker just bludgeoning people with that GTX. I think one of the Guliksons could have been a victim and if i remember correctly, he went out to Ben Testerman (?) who exploited his slightly leaning over to the right service motion by hitting consistently up the line to his backhand on the return.
Of course, I could be making all that up - I was only 14 at the time!
It's a World Cup OS 32
OS 32 = 70+32% = 92 = Oversize!
The full line-up of the yellow World Cup models was the monoshaft NS14 and MS25, the MS24, and the OS32. These were the second tier of Voelkl models of the day, below the black "Grand Prix" models, which today are even rarer than the World Cup models.
Interestingly though Beckers actual racquets did not have the moving parts of the PCS system. The PCS was just cosmetic on his actual racquets!
The PCS was only on the retail versions!
It shows how nothing has really changed. For example Nadal and Roddicks actual racquets have never had the "Cortex" above the grip, it is just painted on. Whereas all retail racquets have the "Cortex"!
As well, the suspension handles of many Head models were NOT in the rackets for many pros...they were looking for 'feedback', not damping.
Separate names with a comma.

May 15, 2012 - Nutrition expert and best selling author Joy Bauer speaks about sugar on the "Today Show."
Sep 16, 2015 Food manufacturers can feel secure knowing that most consumers eat breakfast at or from home, but fast food chains are a competitive threat that cannot be ignored, new research from Instantly suggests.
Sep 11, 2015 Blood lipids are fat molecules found in the bloodstream. Clinicians use the blood lipid profile to determine a patient's risk of developing cardiovascular conditions or suffering a heart attack or stroke. Fructose, which is naturally found in fruit, vegetables and honey, is a simple sugar that together with glucose forms sucrose, the basis of table sugar. It is also found in high-fructose corn syrup, one of the most common sweeteners in commercially prepared foods. Fructose is increasingly being associated with obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Sep 1, 2015 Companies who reformulate to reduce sugar may risk losing more consumers than with reduced fat, find researchers.
Aug 6, 2015 Sugar! Our taste buds might love it but society has taught us to hate it by feeding our minds with ideas that sugar is addictive, toxic, and disease-inducing.
Fortunately for anyone with a sweet tooth, that's not true.
Jun 24, 2015 Conflicting sweetener demands. One big opportunity. Following food fads vs. building a long-term strategy. What millennials say they buy vs. what millennials actually buy. Every day, food and beverage manufacturers are pulled in many directions as they work to meet the demands of consumers, business needs and even their own internal business units. While finding the sweet spot between these demands can be a challenge, it's also a big opportunity for your brand to stand out among the competition.

The German ocean carrier's shareholders of Friday approved all items on the agenda for the annual meeting, most notably including the approval of new authorized share capital, which will be used toward the merger with UASC.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the nation's agricultural trade surplus is also expected to increase to $19.5 billion for fiscal year 2017, up 40 percent from $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2016.
With 13 of the top 20 container lines reporting combined losses of $2.5 billion in the first half alone, industry losses will likely range from $8 billion to $10 billion for the full year, according to Lars Jensen, CEO of SeaIntelligence Consulting.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Meanwhile, the A.P. Møller - Maersk conglomerate, which includes both Maersk Line and APM Terminals, reported second quarter profits of $118 million, 89 percent below the $1.09 billion in the second quarter of 2015.
DSF said it expects intra-regional trades to grow in importance at the expense of the main east-west trades.
The French ocean carrier, which earlier this year acquired a majority of NOL, the parent company of ocean carrier APL, will consolidate the existing transpacific businesses of its ANL and US Lines brands between North America and Asia under the APL brand.

Afforestation and timber management compliance strategies in climate policy. A computable general equilibrium analysis
This paper analyzes the role of forest-based carbon sequestration in a unilateral EU27 emissions reduction policy under a Global Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) framework. Forestry mitigation is introduced into the model relying on carbon sequestration curves provided by a global forestry model. The structure of the original CGE is extended to consider land use change and timber supply effects, resulting from the use of forest sinks to reduce carbon emissions. Results show that afforestation and timber management could lead to substantially lower policy costs. By using forest-carbon sinks it is possible to achieve the 30% emissions reduction target with an additional European effort of only 0.2% of GDP compared with the cost of a 20% emissions reduction without forestry. Carbon price is also reduced, by approximately 30% in 2020. European forest-carbon sequestration may have, however, the perverse effect of increasing timber production in areas of the world which already have high deforestation rates. A sensitivity analysis on main parameters confirms the robustness of our results.

Storm damage in Louisville (WRDW-TV)
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Homeowners across the greater Augusta area are left cleaning up the aftermath after severe storms swept through the area Monday night.
The storms whipped through the Southeast, producing storms with heavy winds, rain and even hail in Alabama and other parts of Georgia before moving toward the CSRA.
Most of the area saw severe storms, but Burke County was under a tornado warning until about 9:45 p.m.
Georgia Power crews are working to get the power back on for 73,000 customers. That number was down to 30,000 by Tuesday morning.
Jefferson Energy Cooperative says their crews are working to fix power outages in multiple counties. The outages as of 3 p.m. are: Burke 21, Emanuel 12, Glascock 107, Jefferson 102, McDuffie 13.
"With lines torn down and broken poles, it has been a lengthy process," said the company in a news release.
Screven County Schools canceled classes after losing power at the middle school. Classes will resume on Wednesday.
One of the areas hit hardest by the storms was Louisville, which is where the attached video comes from.
In a news release, Georgia Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens says he and his team are read to help with storm damage claims. If you need help, call 1-800-656-2298 or (404) 656-2070 if you're in the Metro area.
Advice from Commissioner Hudgens:
- Contact your agent or insurance company immediately.
- Protect your property from further damage. For example, if your roof is damaged, cover it with tarp to prevent water damage from rain. Most policies will not cover such damage.
- Keep an accurate record, including receipts for labor and material, of repair expenses. Do not dispose of damaged property until it is examined by the insurance adjuster.
- A typical homeowner's or commercial property policy does not cover removal of downed trees, unless the tree falls on a covered structure, such as the house.
- Hail damage to your car is typically covered by the comprehensive/collision portion of your automobile insurance policy; hail damage to your home -- your roof, for example -- is covered by your homeowners policy.
- Policies will normally cover contents at their cash value, which means their used value; however, most companies offer a replacement cost option, which will pay for new items.
If you have any photos of storm damage, send them to us at firstname.lastname@example.com or post on our Facebook page.

Job Description
Chaplains of many faiths work with a diverse population, counseling patients undergoing surgical procedures, facing end of life issues or involved in traumatic accidents. They also offer comfort and support to patients' families. They may be called on by hospital staff to calm angry or emotionally distraught friends and family members of patients. Chaplains may conduct religious services in the hospital chapel, including officiating at memorial services and weddings. In some cases, a hospital chaplain will provide spiritual support to fellow staff members and care providers.
Hospitals typically seek chaplaincy candidates with a demonstrated ability to work well within a team environment. The capacity to communicate respectfully across cultures and with persons of different faiths is a valued asset. Due to the sensitive nature of the work, chaplains are held to a high standard of ethical behavior, professionalism and confidentiality.
The ability to work effectively in stressful situations while maintaining a calm demeanor is important. Hospital chaplains should also be able to work independently and be flexible when faced with multiple priorities. Candidates who demonstrate strong interpersonal skills and who are friendly, compassionate and approachable may find the best job prospects. Prior experience in the armed forces as a chaplain or religious program specialist or experience in a religious ministry is also taken into consideration by employers.
Educational Requirements
There are diverse educational paths to becoming a hospital chaplain. Employers may consider those with an educational background in counseling, psychology or theology as prime candidates. At a minimum, most hospitals require that chaplains possess a bachelor's degree in counseling, theology or a related field. Many larger hospitals may ask that chaplains hold a Master of Divinity, be endorsed by a recognized religious institution or demonstrate that they have received additional training or credentialing through a professional organization such as the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, Inc.
