KannaLife Sciences will team up with two drug discovery technology companies in a collaboration designed to develop new cannabinoid-based neuroprotectants. The value of the collaboration was not disclosed.
KannaLife will fund the collaboration with Advanced Neural Dynamics and IteraMed, aimed at drug discovery for a lab-validated phytochemical that has been found to be neuroprotective in cortical neuronal cultures exposed to toxic levels of glutamate or oxidative stress.
The founding science is based on the licensed technology of A.J. Hampson, Ph.D., a neuropharmacologist at the Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Regulation within NIH's National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH).
KannaLife holds an exclusive license with NIH's Office of Technology Transfer to commercialize U.S. Patent 6,630,507, "Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants," on October 7, 2003, awarded to Dr Hampson and two other investigators, Nobel laureate Julius Axelrod, Ph.D., (1912–2004) of NIMH, and Maurizio Grimaldi, M.D., Ph.D., leader of the Neuropharmacology/Neuroscience Laboratory at Southern research Institute and co-investigator for the NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke High-Throughput Drug Screening Facility for Neurodegenerative Disease.
The patent covers their discovery that cannabinoids have antioxidant properties unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism, making them useful in treating and protecting the body from a variety of oxidation-associated ischemic, age-related, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases. The researchers also found the cannabinoids were neuroprotectants, limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and HIV dementia.
News of the collaboration comes about a month after KannaLife won $1.5 million in Series A funding from two publicly traded companies focused on therapeutic applications for cannabis, Medical Marijuana and CannaVEST.
"The NIH-exclusive license in our opinion is a true industry game changer. Our investment in KannaLife helps further build our pipeline of patented cannabinoid-based medical products," Michelle Sides, chairman and COO of Medical Marijuana, said in a March 7 statement announcing the funding.
Advanced Neural Dynamics and IteraMed are located at the Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center, a 112,000 square-foot biotechnology incubator in Doylestown, PA.

Ashton Kutcher is no stranger to punking people, but he may have picked the wrong group to tussle with over the weekend.
At Sunday's Academy of Country Music Awards, Kutcher, 34, donned a black 10-gallon hat and a bright red blazer for the evening as he presented the award for female vocalist of the year to Miranda Lambert.
The Two and a Half Men star also made a show of crooning part of George Strait's "I Cross My Heart" before handing the award to Lambert, 28.
Kutcher's antics were a hit with viewers, as he claimed 49 percent of the votes for "favorite country music wannabe" in PEOPLE's reader poll.
But the stars themselves were less amused.
"Was Ashton Kutcher making fun of country or is it just me? Watching it back now and I'm kinda wondering?" Lambert Tweeted after the ceremony.
Singer Justin Moore was more definitive in his criticism.
"Seen Ashton kutcher at the acms tonight," Moore Tweeted. "What a douche! I don't care for people making a mockery of the way country artists dress."
On Tuesday, Kutcher took to Twitter to address the accusations, writing to Lambert: "I Am One Of The biggest country Music fans you've ever met. Wasn't making fun at all."

In many respects, the Charleston Fire Department has been preparing for more than a century to battle the blaze that ripped through a historic East Bay Street building early Tuesday.
The department honed its training over decades to meet the challenge of containing fast-moving fires in a densely built downtown packed with unique buildings that sit snug up against one another.
Get in quick. Throw wet stuff on the red stuff. And keep that fire from spreading and taking out a whole block or two of prized real estate.
But look closer and you'll see the department's attack on the fire at 213 East Bay St. also demonstrated the fruits of hard lessons learned in the aftermath of the June 2007 Sofa Super Store blaze that killed nine city firefighters.
While firefighters hit the building fast and hard Tuesday, they did so with a coordinated plan, with the aid of other area departments and with an eye toward safety that resulted in everyone getting out before things got bad, officials said.
"We always try to strike a balance," Charleston Fire Chief Karen Brack said. "And this was a very well-run fire."
Mayor Joe Riley was even more effusive, saying fire crews did an excellent job saving a piece of downtown's rich fabric without incurring a single injury or allowing the fire to spread to neighboring properties.
"It was a terrible fire," Riley said. "They really did an amazing job."
The fire shut down a stretch of East Bay Street in the heart of the tourist district for much of the day. It also kept neighboring tenants out of their offices, apartments and businesses.
Its cause remains a mystery for now. Fire officials suspended their investigation in the afternoon due to safety and structural concerns with the building, Fire Marshal Mike Julazadeh said.
Flames in the dark
The call came in around 1 a.m., with smoke curling from the salmon-colored, two-story building that houses four clubs — Light, Squeeze, The Brick and The Speakeasy.
Fire crews were on the scene within four minutes and were soon joined by a small army of reinforcements, Brack said.
Automatic mutual aid was one of the improvements introduced after the Sofa Super Store fire, and crews from area fire departments now regularly train together and respond to each other's calls as a matter of course, with all operating from the same playbook.
On Tuesday, that meant some 25 trucks arrived on the scene, with as many as 75 firefighters from Charleston, North Charleston, James Island and St. Andrews on hand to extinguish the blaze, Brack said,
The initial crews raced to the second floor to find the source of the fire while other arriving crews set up strategically around the building. Battalion Chief Jimmy Neilson, a veteran who was very familiar with the building, coordinated the attack, Brack said.
The interior crews battled the fire as long as they could before evacuating for safety reasons around 1:44 a.m., Brack said. Those early efforts helped keep the fire in check, she said.
Onlookers watched in awe as flames chewed through the roof and shot into the darkened sky. In time the roof collapsed, but all crews were at safe distance by then, fighting the blaze from a defensive posture, officials said.
Hard-charging culture
The department's aggressive approach can be traced to the city's early days, when fires could sweep through blocks of downtown, claiming hundreds of homes and outbuildings. A large fire in 1861, for example, tore through 540 acres on the peninsula, destroying 575 homes, churches and stores along a mile from East Bay to Gibbes streets.
With buildings butting up against one another, often with shared walls, it became imperative for these "smoke eaters" to get on the scene quickly and knock down a blaze before it could become a conflagration.
The hard-charging ethic, however, came under intense scrutiny after the Sofa Super Store fire, in which nine men were trapped inside when the roof collapsed at the West Ashley furniture outlet. A city-appointed panel of fire experts cited command failures and tactical missteps that exposed firefighters to "excessive and avoidable risks."
The department has worked hard in recent years to honor its traditions while continuously improving its response and capabilities, as evidenced by Tuesday's effort, officials said.
"That was good, smart firefighting," Brack said.
Still, the blaze was a shock for those in and around the building.
John Chandler, 26, awoke to the shrill sound of a fire alarm ringing throughout his apartment over Wet Willie's bar in the building next door.
Eager to go back to sleep, he said he convinced himself the alarm was only a drill. The urgent pounding on his front door moments later said otherwise.
Firefighters yelled for residents to get out of bed and leave the building. Chandler saw the heavy smoke, roused his roommate and joined other residents evacuating the building,
"It happened really fast," Chandler said. "I didn't know what to do. I've never experienced anything like that."
Later in the morning, Chandler peered up at the damage from a sidewalk at the corner of East Bay and Cumberland streets.
He stood disheveled, dressed in a dark blue sweatshirt, ripped pajama bottoms and only one shoe. He lost the other in the rush to escape.
Clint Gaskins, owner of Squeeze, watched the action from the steps of the U.S. Customhouse across the street. He had been up all night pondering the demise of his club right before the Cooper River Bridge Run and the start of the busy tourist season.
"I don't know what to think right now," he said. "You lose your bar, your job — everything — all in one shot."
Fire crews remained on the scene for much of the day, dousing hot spots and assessing the damage.
The city also brought in a structural engineer, who determined that the facade of the building, constructed in the 1800s, was structurally sound and will not require demolition, Brack said. The interior appeared to be heavily damaged.
The building, valued in county records at $2.2 million, started out as a three-story structure with a two-story piazza, and the property also included a washhouse and smokehouse, according to Paul Saylors, public programs and research manager for the Preservation Society of Charleston.
The main building, which housed a grocery, was brought down to two stories after the earthquake of 1886, he said.

A new poll shows the race between Republican Mark Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch tightening, with both candidates at 46 percent entering the final days of the 1st Congressional District campaign.
The poll from Red Racing Horses, which bills itself as "a Republican-oriented online community," also has 7 percent of voters undecided. The margin of error was plus-or-minus 5 percent.
The automated phone survey of 650 likely voters was conducted between Monday and Wednesday.
The results indicate the contest is getting closer as the candidates approach next Tuesday's special election.
A poll conducted April 19-21 by the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling group, which polled likely voters in the wake of the trespassing accusation against ex-GOP governor Sanford, showed Democrat Colbert Busch had pulled out to a nine-point lead.
Meanwhile, the candidates continued to seek voters across the five-county coastal district that stretches from Charleston to Beaufort counties.
Colbert Busch has a new bus — painted with "Elizabeth means business" — and will make 15 stops in six towns during the next four days. Her tour begins at 11 a.m. Friday in Beaufort and will arrive in Charleston on Saturday with a 9 a.m. stop at the city's farmers market at Marion Square. She then will visit the Summerville Farmers Market at 10:30 a.m., the McClellanville Shrimp Festival at 1:30 p.m., and a Cinco de Mayo Festival at the Charleston Visitors Center at 6:45 p.m.
Sanford also will make several campaign stops Friday, including an 8:30 a.m. stop at the Sea Cow Eatery on Edisto Beach, a 1:30 p.m. meet-and-greet at the Lakehouse on Seabrook Island, and three Johns Island stops: 2:30 p.m. at Newton Farms; 3 p.m. at Rosebank Farms; and 3:45 p.m. at Cordray's Grocery and Feed.

An eye-opener.
That's how Sabres prospect Sean Malone described the team's development camp, which concluded with the Blue-Gold scrimmage Friday in First Niagara Center.
The Buffalo native and former Nichols School student can handle spreadsheets and the quadratic formula with ease. He is planning to study economics at Harvard in the fall, after all.
But how could he have predicted what it would feel like to skate out in a blue-and-gold sweater after growing up a die-hard Sabres fan living 10 minutes down the road?
"Going out there for the first time, it's an eye-opener to see all these professional players out there, and I'm still coming out of juniors, going into college," Malone said Thursday. "It's an eye-opener, but I think it has gone well."
Malone, a sixth-round draft pick this year, is one of five players with local ties who attended the development camp. The others are second-round pick Justin Bailey (Williamsville), Alex Iafallo (Eden), Alex Lepkowski (West Seneca) and Tyler Gjurich (Junior Sabres).
There are, of course, common themes that emerge from talking with the locals about playing for the team they rooted for as youngsters; words like "crazy" and phrases like "dream come true" are repeated often.
"This has always been a dream, ever since I started playing hockey," said Iafallo, the 6-foot-tall, 19-year-old center. "It's just been phenomenal to be a part of, to watch the Sabres while growing up, and now I'm here. It's just unbelievable."
Iafallo had 43 points in 50 games with Fargo (USHL) last season.
"It's crazy. I was just soaking it in," he said Wednesday. "Putting on the jersey, I was like: 'Wow, this is something else.' I've always dreamed of doing it."
Bailey was a star attraction of Friday's scrimmage. He was interviewed on the Jumbotron just before the puck dropped. The team also aired a prerecorded interview with him between the first and second periods in which he said Malone would be the teammate he'd select if he could only pick one to be with him trapped on an island.
Malone said the camp was made easier by having friends like left wing J.T. Compher, who scored a goal in the scrimmage, and fellow Buffalo boy Bailey. He said he and Bailey push each other in the weight room.
So, who's benching more?
"Oh me," said a laughing Malone, who is four inches shorter but just three pounds lighter than Bailey. "By far."
Bailey, who turned 18 July 1, hopes to bulk up and gain 14 pounds to reach 200 by the season. He said he was a little bit nervous at camp, naturally, but he got through the butterflies the first day.
The much higher quality of play has been another adjustment.
"There are guys that are three, four, five years older than you, and they've had more experience, so it's a little bit quicker," Bailey said. "But I think after about the first 15, 20 minutes of the first day on the ice, I got used it."
Bailey said his coach ran a pro-like atmosphere in Kitchener (OHL), and he felt prepared for the next level – particularly for the rigorous schedule demands that come with playing in an NHL system. He reflected on seeing his name in the locker room.
"It was a dream come true, and not many kids that grow up in Buffalo get that opportunity to not only play in First Niagara Center, but to be wearing a Sabres jersey, being able to represent themselves that way," Bailey said. "So it was just amazing to see my nameplate and all my stuff."
"I thought he's got good speed; he's got a good skill level," coach Ron Rolston said of Bailey after the scrimmage. "His challenge is just being able to bring it all the time.
"You see flashes in the game when he's dominant, and then he'll go away a little bit, but that's part of what we talked about with our team last year, just consistency of doing it every shift. Very, very talented. Very good speed, good skill level."
Their paths to getting there may differ, but one thing was common among the three Greater Buffalo natives attending Friday's camp: the joy of playing for their hometown team.
"I mean obviously growing up, it's tough not to be a Sabres fan in this city especially," Bailey said.

KRAS and YAP1 Converge to Regulate EMT and Tumor Survival.
|Publication Type
|Journal Article
|Shao, DD, Xue W., Krall EB, Bhutkar A., Piccioni F., Wang X., Schinzel AC, Sood S., Rosenbluh J., Kim JW, Zwang Y., Roberts TM, Root DE, Jacks T., and Hahn WC
|Cancer cells that express oncogenic alleles of RAS typically require sustained expression of the mutant allele for survival, but the molecular basis of this oncogene dependency remains incompletely understood. To identify genes that can functionally substitute for oncogenic RAS, we systematically expressed 15,294 open reading frames in a human KRAS-dependent colon cancer cell line engineered to express an inducible KRAS-specific shRNA. We found 147 genes that promoted survival upon KRAS suppression. In particular, the transcriptional coactivator YAP1 rescued cell viability in KRAS-dependent cells upon suppression of KRAS and was required for KRAS-induced cell transformation. Acquired resistance to Kras suppression in a Kras-driven murine lung cancer model also involved increased YAP1 signaling. KRAS and YAP1 converge on the transcription factor FOS and activate a transcriptional program involved in regulating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Together, these findings implicate transcriptional regulation of EMT by YAP1 as a significant component of oncogenic RAS signaling.

7 Ways to Save Money on Gas
It's been a busy few weeks in the Middle East. Protests around the region are threatening regimes, and that is leading to possible instability in terms of oil supply. Indeed, violence in Libya has prompted some oil companies to evacuate non-essential personnel and their families. With investors — and others — increasing worried about the supply lines out of the Middle East, it is no surprise that oil prices are on the way up.
Predictions are coming in that we will see $3.50 for gas this summer, and Fortune is reporting that the U.S. government believes that there is a 1-in-10 chance that $4.00 gas is on tap for summer. So, what can you do about this? Gas prices are probably going to affect your personal economy — and soon.

Thank you Father Michael and Abba Seraphim - Printable Version

Thank you Father Michael and Abba Seraphim - Mark Fletcher - 17-02-2007
God is good. Today I received wise, kind and gracious letters from Father Michael and His Grace Abba Seraphim. I would like to thank them both from the heart for these responses which are so encouraging to me.
Although it would be inappropriate to quote from Father Michael's epistle, I hope that His Grace will not mind me sharing the following words with members of the Fellowship, in the hope that they may help others too.
Quote:I am glad you feel called to become Orthodox and I believe and hope that it will meet your spiritual needs and bring you to a closer relationship with God. Father Michael Robson is a wise counsellor and you will gain much if you place yourself in his care, whilst the two subdeacons at Chatham, Peter Farrington & Dr. Michael Kennedy, will also give sound advice, so - although the community there is, as yet, quite small - it offers much. By making this request you have embarked on the first step of a pilgrimage which will continue for the rest of your life and I pray that you will receive many blessings. We know, however, that Satan will seek, through snares and delusions, to turn you away from the right path and I pray that God's grace will strengthen and support you throughout.
In his poem 'A Young Man's Exhortation', Thomas Hardy writes:
Quote:If I have seen one thing
I sense from the two letters I received today, that the two writers have realised the Kingship of Christ in their own lives. I feel truly grateful to them for their kindness to me. Thomas Hardy may not have found Christ the King for himself (I do not know) but I am certain that British Orthodox Church clergy most certainly have.
Spiritual Leadership - John Charmley - 18-02-2007
Dear Mark,
Thank you for sharing this with us.
We are blessed in the BOC; we may be small, but our spiritual leaders are of great stature, and we are guided by Him, through them.
Abba Seraphim's words about the Evil One are so right. You will be assailed again by him, and you will need to be vigilant in prayer. For myself, I have found the Jesus Prayer a great aid and comfort - and having adopted the practice of crossing myself before I pray every morning and evening, I have found that a great protection. To some it may sound silly, but it isn't; in this battle you need the best armour and the fewest chinks possible.
Even so, you will stumble as we all do; that, as Abba Seraphim says, is exactly the moment at which to remember that you can repent and try again; the temptation from the Evil One is to despair as say - oh well, I may as well jack it all in!' That's the point at which the Adversary lets out a cheer. So call upon the Risen Lord to forgive you and to strengthen you in all goodness - then get back in the ring and try to make it through to the next round!
I am sure that many of us are praying for you and for Marian.
In Christ,
Thanks - Mark Fletcher - 18-02-2007
Thank you so much for your wise words, encouraging thoughts and prayers. The 'Sign of the Cross' is sometimes referred to as a 'Sign of Power'. As long as it is made with faith, belief and right intention, then I think it must have great potency and effect, whether one realises it fully or not. The Bible makes it quite clear that there are 'spiritual nasties' we must avoid. I suppose the most potent of these spiritual nasties actually pretend to be angels of Light and messengers of some new truth or revelation for mankind. There must have been (and are) countless false Messiahs of one kind or another that people "fall for" through ignorance and foolishness. Thanks again.
Signs - John Charmley - 18-02-2007
Dear Mark,
Indeed it is so.
For me, one of the greatest things it knowing that being within the BOC means knowing that I am being guided aright according to the Holy Tradition of the Church.
Today, for various reasons, going out to Babingley was not possible, so, instead I went to my own University, where there is a Coptic Service at 9.30. I emerged 3 and a half hours later feeling that I had been in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Although parts of the service were in Coptic and Arabic, it didn't matter; a nice young man next to me helped me find my place when I was lost, and I was made so welcome. Fr. Makar, the Coptic priest is yet another of transparent goodness and holiness, and to be in his presence is to feel blessed. As at Babingley, I just came out feeling spiritually nourished and refreshed.
Perhaps it is just the zeal of the new convert (although since I am not a great one for zeal, I doubt it) but there is something very special about the Coptic Church, as about the BOC, and the synergy between the two seems to generate a very good 'energy'.
May you be guided aright, and in His time come safely to harbour.
In Christ,

The month of March is special for many reasons: It's the beginning of spring as well as festival season, but most of all it gives us the opportunity to celebrate the Irish heritage in a big way. The best thing about St. Patrick's Day is it's nondiscriminatory. No matter what your nationality, you're entitled to a little bit of luck and perhaps a green beer.
Here are the top 4 St. Patrick's Day parties happening around Dallas-Fort Worth as well as 5 places you can find traditional Irish grub.
Dallas St. Patrick's Day Parade on Greenville
The notorious Greenville Avenue St. Patrick's Day Parade is a wild and wacky day full of floats, traditional Irish music, and great people watching. The parade itself begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 16 near Park Lane and Greenville Avenue and runs south to SMU Boulevard.
The party, however, extends far beyond that. From Mockingbird Lane to Ross Avenue, Greenville will be packed with pedestrians searching for beer and food at one of the local establishments. Granada Theater,Sundown at Granada, The Dubliner, The Londoner, and everywhere in between will have specials, parties and live music. Festivities spill over into the Knox-Henderson district, too, which is fairly accessible by foot from Greenville. Residents of the area will be hosting soirees in their front yards, so you won't be short on places to celebrate.
Tips for travel:
Get there early! Greenville Avenue will be impassable by car, and though the residential streets will be, it will be a test of your endurance.
Park and walk. You will not be able to park close to the party, so don't get frustrated if you end up six or eight blocks off Greenville. Hopefully you'll meet some new friends along your journey. Also, the Mockingbird DART Station is less than a mile from the parade's end point.
Bring a non-disposable cup. That way you can immediately throw away your trash before you ever consider littering.
Clean up after yourself. The streets get destroyed on St. Patrick's Day, so every little bit helps.
Tip your bartenders and food vendors. They will have been catering to St. Patty's day crowds since 8 a.m.
Dash Down Greenville 5K
If you're looking to get something more out of St. Patrick's Day than just a hangover, check out the Dash Down Greenville 5K at 8 a.m. before the Dallas parade. Grab your green and meet more than 8,000 other runners (or walkers) at the Central Market on Lovers Lane. All proceeds of the race go to the North Texas Food Bank, which received more than $61,000 from the 2012 event. Plus, there's an after-party at 8:30 a.m., complete with beer, food, and a live band. Registration is currently $25, but will increase as the date looms closer.
Keller, Texas is also hosting a St. Patrick's-themed sprint triathlon March 10 comprised of a 300-meter swim, a 12-mile bike ride, and a 3-mile run. Athletes enjoy bagpipes, an Irish band, and green pancakes after the race.
Cowtown Goes Green
Fort Worth too will have a St. Patrick's Day parade, albeit much more family oriented than the one in Dallas. Beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 16, activities in the stockyards such as pony rides and petting zoos will be available free of charge. There will also be face painting, slit walkers, free rides on the mechanical bull, and live Irish music by Threadneedle Street. The Cowtown Goes Green parade starts at 4 p.m. with the Fort Worth Herd Cattle Drive, followed by floats as well as horses and cowboys. Patrons can purchase beer from one of several beer stands or bars and peruse the stockyards. The Love Shack, White Elephant Saloon, and The Longhorn Saloon are all within walking distance if you so desire a tasty beverage post-parade.
Snoop Dogg at Energy Plaza
Yes, this is for rizzle. Snoop D-O-double G will be gracing Dallas on March 16 along the Greenville Avenue Parade route at University. Dallas' own ishi and A.Dd+ will be opening up. So grab your gin and juice and go drop it like it's hot. Tickets the day of the event are $20; $15 in advance.
Local specials and Irish menus
Check out the following local business for green treats and drinks specials.
Humperdinks — From now until March 17, Humperdinks on Greenville is offering an Irish burger with corned beef as well as oven-roasted corned beef and cabbage. The brewpub will also have an Irish Stout beer and Irish Car Bombs for $5.
Landmark — For the entire month of March, the Landmark restaurant at theWarwick Melrose Hotel has an Irish-inspired brunch menu. Wash down your green eggs and ham or Irish benedict with one of three festive beverages — an Irish Manhattan, a Flying Shamrock, or Patty's Punch.
Poag Mahone's — Saturday, March 16, Poag Mahone' in Fort Worth will have an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet for $4.95. This gives you more cash to spend on $4 draft pints from Uinta Brewing Company.
Duke's Original Roadhouse — Sunday, March 17 Duke's in Plano is planning a raging party complete with $1 mimosas, $2.50 Bloody Marys, and $2.50 You Call Its. The restaurant will have a traditional Irish menu and a live DJ.
The Gin Mill — March 15-17, Henderson staple The Gin Mill will be dishing up Irish specialties such as corned beef and cabbage, and Guinness beef stew. Brunch, too, will be Irish-infused.

I'll work for free when everybody else is. But until then I prefer to get payed.
Knock yourself out ! I have no problem with people who wanna work for free and by all means we should ALL take advantage of such free labor ! I do have a problem with people who want/expect me to work for free !
money is the unity for work - e.g. if you work that much you are paid that much.
the problem is there is no unity for free labour - some will work 100% hard, some 50% and most 0% (and some can work 5% but they make it look like 50%).
then those that work more than 20% starts a revolution, so that they can get paid again.
" "MONEY IS THE UNITY FOR WORK"...ok, that's gotta be a bumper sticker."
it is of course an imperfect unity though. you dont get the same money for working in a China coal mine than in a new york office, although the coal mine is harder work and, well.....riskier. however, the coal miner may be a happier man than the NY office worker. haha, it is very complex.
because chess.com is a facade for hacker training. you must hack into "chess" mentor to receive its benefits. once there, you will receive instructions for your next assignment. those "chess" ratings? hacker ratings.
I'm up to breaking into classified CIA files. Is there anything after that?
Wow one day it may b free for all or pay for all
i own chess mentor 3. its a total waste of time
Thanks for dredging this one up out of the muck, Changu.
Next you feel the gentle but firm nudge of someone determined to wake you up.
And it's this post. So let the following sink in and you'll be much the wiser...
These few sentences will save you years of self-pity. The sooner you realize it, accept it and even learn to appreciate it, the happier, more fulfilled life you'll live.
They are:
1. Life isn't fair.
2. Nobody owes you anything.
3. You aren't entitled to anything.
4. If you really want something bad enough, you work for it and earn it.
5. If you don't really want to work to earn it, then you must not really want it.
If you find yourself resenting these statements instead of being grateful for the wisdom from your elders, for your own good, then you will need to correct your attitude.
If you are grateful for the benefit of saving yourself years of aggravation because the experience of others has come back to help you get a head start, then there's more where that came from, but this should get you off to a good start.
thanks for the enlightening speech dad. we are all learning new things today
because i say so...idk. i speak for myself... uv been a member since 2009. has it helped u improve?
He did it his way.
lol, u havent even used chess mentor
No, or I would still be a diamond, but that's just me.
I'm with you AndyClifton, thank goodness they brought this thread back lol. And I thought that I started some threads that were real " clunkers ".
Oh well, at least it's good to see Prawn's name again (along with that OmarCayenne idiot).
aren't you OmarCayenne?
No big step for a stepper son. You see, with maturity and real manhood comes the knowledge you don't have to prove yourself a man...you already are.
"Dad" figured this out long ago, but right on time.
This means no sarcastic edge to a forum post, some "boo ya!" type retort after a lucky bullet match or any of that nonsense.
Got it? You just already are.
Now go take out the trash and make sure your beautiful mother doesn't have to pick up after you too much. It's almost dinner time.
You can prove that you're a man by drinking fruit juice from a can.
aren't you OmarCayenne?
Little escapes you, kon.
i think its beginning to sink in now pops. im glad we got that sorted out

A Happy Spouse May Be Good for Your Health
September 27, 2016,
Geographic tongue is irregular patches on the surface of the tongue. This gives it a map-like appearance.
Patches on the tongue; Tongue - patchy; Benign migratory glossitis; Glossitis - benign migratory
The exact cause of geographic tongue is unknown. It may be caused by a lack of vitamin B. It also may be due to irritation from hot or spicy foods, or alcohol. The condition appears to be less common in smokers.
The change in pattern on the surface of the tongue occurs when there is a loss of the tiny, finger-like projections, called papillae, on the tongue. These areas look flat as a result. The appearance of the tongue may change very quickly. The flat-looking areas may remain for more than a month.
Your doctor will diagnose this condition by looking at your tongue. Most of the time, tests are not needed.
No treatment is needed. Antihistamine gel or steroid mouth rinses may help ease discomfort.
Geographic tongue is a harmless condition. It may be uncomfortable and last for a long time.
Call your doctor if the symptoms last longer than 10 days. Seek immediate medical help if:
Avoid irritating your tongue with hot or spicy food or alcohol if you are prone to this condition.

Telltale Games is busy. Not only is it the developer behind the new episodic Sam & Max and Wallace & Gromit games, but it's also crafting a brand new set of Monkey Island episodes. It's almost as if the company is leading a resurgence of the point and click adventure game all by itself. Intrigued and excited, we chatted to CEO Dan Connors to discuss the Xbox LIVE Arcade release of Sam & Max Season 1, rebranded to Sam & Max Save the World, but we also talked Project Natal, the PS3 and… hush hush, Day of the Tentacle.
VideoGamer.com: What blew your mind at E3?
Dan Connors: I thought the Shadow of the Colossus stuff was pretty amazing, and the Natal stuff was pretty cool to hear about. Obviously with us and the type of games that we make, the idea of making a person an actor inside of one of our adventures is an idea that's been theoretical for a long time. It's nice to see things happening that can get it closer.
VideoGamer.com: How would Natal be applied to the games you make?
DC: It's a huge opportunity to give the user more ways to interact with the world than just the traditional cursor-based and dialogue-based way in which the games work. It lets people control the character in a new way and communicate with the different characters. It's going to give them more options and more ways of interacting with the world. That's really exciting to us, to not be limited by a mouse or a controller in what the user can do and how they can interact with the characters. Our focus is about creating really entertaining scenarios and characters, so removing barriers to experiencing that and making it easier and more natural to interact with, is a huge thing for what we're doing. The number of ideas and the number of types of designs that you could do around it are… it's just the kind of thing that gets your creative teams going. Who would have thought of Wii Sports before it came out with Nintendo? It's the absolute perfect control for bowling. For us, having the user be able to be a character in one of the worlds and solve mysteries and puzzles is a huge deal, a huge leap forward.
VideoGamer.com: Is it conceivable that some of Telltale's upcoming games might be compatible with Natal or make some use of it, or are we still a long way off from that?
DC: We haven't talked to them enough about it. It really depends on where they're at as far as exposing it to developers. We didn't know about it before they talked about it so we didn't have a lot of time to think it through, though we've just started that process. How we could use it in a product all depends on how far along the mechanic is and what's the right product to build. But as of right now it hasn't been in our plans until we heard about it at E3, so we're just in the very early stages of putting together an opinion on what it can be.
VideoGamer.com: The idea of actually being Guybrush Threepwood on the screen in a brand new Monkey Island adventure is pretty exciting.
DC: Yeah, definitely. Or the idea of being a… (laughs) the idea of being Max is probably a little bit less appealing! You'd have to put on bunny ears or something! But Guybrush is a great character for something like that for sure.
VideoGamer.com: There's a suggestion that gamers like to kick back and relax on a sofa when they play games, and the idea of having to stand up and flail about isn't up their street. What's your opinion on that?
DC: My opinion is Wii Sports and Guitar Hero. Rock Band - there's no kicking back in Rock Band. There's an assumption about what gamers want. Sometimes the industry has too much of an assumption of what people want to do. You look at the success of the Wii, Rock Band and Guitar Hero – people want to do more. They've been limited. They've made the best of what they've had. It's just a natural position to be back on a couch with a joypad. It's a very finger-focussed activity. That's just the way it's evolved to now. To be able to blow that door off is super exciting. I think it's great.
VideoGamer.com: Moving on to Sam & Max, it's been rebranded and released on XBLA. What advancements have been made?
DC: We've added Achievements. It's in higher res. The Xbox is a great box for it. It's really about adapting it to the controller and making it run on the system at a nice high resolution. Obviously it's all the same jokes. It's really about the HD and adapting for the controller and adding the Xbox LIVE support so you can get all your game stats.
VideoGamer.com: What's your approach to Achievements? What works for a game of this type in terms of Achievements?
DC: In Wallace & Gromit we did a lot of solving puzzles in different ways and collecting items that might not have been on the beaten path. Our Sam & Max games are loaded with that kind of stuff. The designers put in so many deep levels of experiencing it, that rewarding the player for going in and finding the nuggets—it's like a double reward. You get to see the great gag and you get rewarded for it as well.
VideoGamer.com: Season Two is being rebranded to Beyond Time and Space. What kind of release date time frame are we looking at for XBLA?
DC: We're still working on it but it's either going to be late summer or early fall.
VideoGamer.com: According to a fact sheet that I've read there are currently new Sam & Max seasons in pre-production. Can you give us any exciting news about how they're shaping up?
DC: We reviewed the design just the other day. Chuck Jordan's (designer) doing a lot of work on it right now. He's got a pretty long history with these types of games with Monkey and the other Sam & Max episodes. He and Steve (Purcell, creator) and Dave (Grossman, design designer) got down and banged out some ideas. It's going to be hard to top saving the world and going to hell, but they've certainly got a incredibly bizarre design on the table. It's absolutely perfect for Sam & Max, but it certainly feels a lot more like the comic books than the first two designs. Some of the character designs we're looking at were almost a little bit gross! Okay guys, let's figure out if we really want to go this far! Sam & Max is the best universe you can create in, has always been my feeling. They're capable of anything at any moment. With the right twisted creative minds it can just go anywhere.
VideoGamer.com: What kind of release time frame are we looking at for the episodes from Season Three?
DC: We're still reviewing it. Monkey Island is the big focus now. As soon as that's out and being released into the world we'll probably be full-bore onto Sam & Max.

FDIC Asks to Temporarily Increase Deposit Limits
|Email Print
FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair has requested that Congress give her agency the authority to raise the $100,000 FDIC insurance limit to some unspecified amount, to be determined by Congress. In 2005, Congress voted to peg that $100,000 limit to inflation but that doesn't kick in until 2011. Until then the limit stays at $100,000.
Will insurance premiums be raised? I'm not a banking expert or an insurance expert, but I know that if the protection limit is raised then there's going to be greater pressure on the coffers of the FDIC if and when banks fail. The FDIC doesn't need that, it's under enough pressure. 🙂 Unless premiums are increased, you're putting a greater burden on the shoulder of taxpayers.
Who does this benefit? In all honesty, I think it benefits no one unless FDIC insurance coverage premiums are increased. With the very public failures of WaMu and Wachovia and IndyMac, the average person who reads the newspaper or watches the television is acutely aware of the FDIC limit and likely has been spurred to action. Fortunately for many of those who bank at those institutions, your money was protected even beyond the FDIC limits. (if you haven't moved your funds around so that you're under the $100k limit, what are you waiting for? Don't be like this woman who lost $20k)
For the very wealthy, I assume they have financial advisers who handle all this complicated banking stuff and have them spread across as many banks as they need to be to stay underneath the limit. Raising the limit really doesn't have an appreciable effect for the consumer (it might reduce the amount of paperwork as the rich will need fewer accounts!).
But then again, personal finance is more about psychology than it is about the math. If this move settles some people's minds, then it's a Good Thing.

(800) 950-NAMI; firstname.lastname@example.com
Action Needed: Sign Parity Petition
Urgent action is needed. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida recently terminated mental health and addiction service providers and is seeking new contracts at substantially reduced rates through its affiliate New Directions Behavioral Health. This could affect patient access to care. NAMI is joining with coalition partners to push a strong message to other insurers throughout the country, to Congress, and to the Obama Administration that the termination of mental health and addiction service providers violated the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 and should not be permitted in Florida or anywhere else in the country.
Whether or not you live in Florida, please sign this petition and send the link to everyone you know who wants to see parity in treatment for mental health and substance use patients at www.ipetitions.com/petition/mental-health-parity/
Strong participation on the part of NAMI members and other advocates is important to ensuring quality care for mental health and addiction recovery patients.

By Steven V. Joyal, MD, VP of Medical & Scientific Affairs at Life Extension. Life Extension has been a pioneer in funding and reporting the latest anti-aging research and integrative health therapies while offering superior-quality dietary supplements to consumers.
Feeling bloated? Gaining weight but don't know why? Food sensitivity might be the cause. Chronic, low-level inflammation due to food sensitivity is a little-appreciated contributing factor for unwanted weight gain, along with other health conditions like fatigue, fluid retention, headache, and skin conditions.
Before we review how sensitivity to certain foods can make weight loss difficult, we need to understand the difference between food sensitivity and food allergy.
Classic food allergy occurs when certain foods trigger the immune system to release large amounts of the chemical histamine. When large amounts of histamine flood the body, a potentially life-threatening condition called anaphylaxis can occur. This potentially fatal condition causes the throat to swell, potentially cutting off the air supply to the lungs.

Is it just coincidence the amount of crap Timmy's gotten since making his political affiliation known? I think not.
When any media type makes public, polarizing, individual-type statements or takes action on same, they damn well should be ready to live with the consequences. No matter which end of the political spectrum they're on.

So he wants to sit out the season and have the team pick up his paycheck. Is it just me, or do the words, "You can't have it both ways" apply here?
Sorry. That minus was supposed to be a PLUS.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE — Summer brings late nights, days at the pool, and of course firing up the grill. America's favorite food, hamburgers, are a grilling staple! While burgers and outdoor barbecues go together, well like, burgers and fries, mastering the perfect burger requires some useful knowledge. Below are grill master tips to achieve the ultimate burger.1. The meat: Most burger enthusiasts claim grinding your own meat is the only way to go, but for many this is not an option. However, purchasing good quality ground meat is important. Generic ground beef can be a combination of several cuts of beef, which tends to be higher in fat and will make a greasy burger. Choosing ground sirloin, at 15 percent fat, is the best burger option.2. Don't over work the meat: When adding seasonings, avoid over mixing the meat; which will cause burgers to be tough.3. Chill the meat: Before forming the patties, chill the meat for 20-30 minutes. This step is crucial, since warm fat will easily melt while shaping the patties, thus causing a dry burger.4. Form the perfect patty: After the meat has rested and chilled, divide each pound of beef into four equal patties. Wet hands with cold water and shape beef into 3/4-inch thick patties. While shaping the patties, gently form a small dimple in the center. This prevents the burger from "puffing up" while it cooks, making for an even burger.5. Season: Salt and pepper will bring out the natural flavors of the beef. However, do not season with salt until after forming the patties and right before cooking. Salt dissolves muscle proteins and if added too early will make the burger tough.6. Grill it up: Proper grilling techniques are crucial to cooking the perfect burger. Make sure the grill is extremely hot. Never press down on the burger patties, as this releases the natural juices in the burger. Let the burger cook for five minutes before flipping. Flipping only once prevents the burger from falling apart and sticking to the grill.7. Perfectly melted cheese: After flipping, let the burger cook for three minutes and then top with cheese while the burger is still on the grill.— Chef Heather Hunsaker attended and graduated from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, but has been developing family friendly meals since she was 9-years-old in her mother's kitchen.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
The governing board of California's stem cell agency, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), has approved a $70 million plan to create a new statewide network of sites that will act as a hub for stem cell clinical trials. The Alpha Stem Cell Clinics Network, which CIRM says would be one of the first to focus solely on stem cell therapies, aims to support and accelerate clinical trials for programs funded by the agency, as well as those developed elsewhere by academic researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical companies. CIRM said it is hopeful that as the field evolves, the delivery of approved new stem cell therapies will become another focus.
The network will consist of up to five clinic sites at established academic institutions and a coordinating center that will help the clinics streamline challenging processes such as enrolling patients, managing regulatory procedures, and sharing data. The Alpha Clinics will reportedly speed testing and distribution of experimental stem cell therapies and will focus on therapies that involve transplanting or infusing stem cells.
An additional goal of the network will be educating people seeking such therapies, or interested in enrolling in clinical trials for testing them. The Alpha Clinics network will disseminate data—and provide patient counselors who can explain the information—generated through this initiative.
"These clinics have the potential to revolutionize how we deliver stem cell therapies to patients," says Alan Trounson, Ph.D., president of CIRM. "Stem cell therapies are a completely new way of treating diseases and disorders so we need a completely new way of delivering those in a safe and effective manner. These clinics will help us do just that and the clinical trials carried out in this network will fulfill the agency's promise of bringing new therapies to patients who need them."
This is hardly the only big investment CIRM has made this year: In May, CIRM awarded $36 million in funds to attract six scientists to the state, and more than $6 million to create a partnership with Sangamo BioSciences to develop a therapy for the blood disorder beta-thalassemia. And in March, the organization announced a plan to set up a stem cell bank and approved nine applications to generate the cells to fill it. That initiative aims to create and store 9,000 cell lines from 3,000 individuals—representing 11 diseases—at a total cost of $32.3 million.

The $12.2 billion winter tourism industry spread out across 38 states has experienced an estimated $1 billion loss and up to 27,000 fewer jobs over the last decade due to diminished snow fall patterns and the resulting changes in the outdoor habits of Americans, according to a new economic analysis.
Even tougher times could be in store for the industry unless climate change is slowed, stopped and reversed, according to "Climate Impacts on the Winter Tourism Economy in the United States," prepared for the nonprofit groups Protect Our Winters and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Local ski resort operators and tourism officials are not overly concerned about the study.
University of New Hampshire researchers Elizabeth Burakowski and Matthew Magnusson conclude that a failure to address the challenge of climate change will mean even tougher times are ahead for winter tourism.
The report says without intervention, winter temperatures are projected to warm an additional 4 to 10 degrees by the end of the century, with subsequent decreases in snow cover area, snowfall, and shorter snow season. Snow depths could decline in the West by 25 to 100 percent. The length of the snow season in the Northeast will be cut in half.
The impact of less snow and fewer people on the slopes, is already apparent across the U.S.
December 2011 through February 2012 was the fourth warmest winter on record since 1896 and the third lowest snow cover extent since 1966, when satellites began tracking snow cover. According to one industry survey, 50 percent of responding ski areas in 2011 opened late and 48 percent closed early, with every region experiencing a decrease in overall days of operation.
The snowmobiling industry - one entirely reliant upon natural snow - has had relatively flat registrations since 2000.
"In the many U.S. states that rely on winter tourism climate change is expected to contribute to warmer winters, reduced snowfall, and shorter snow seasons," Burakowski said. "This spells significant economic uncertainty for a winter sports industry deeply dependent upon predictable, heavy snowfall."
Climate change is the greatest environmental issue of our time, said Chris Steinkamp, executive director, Protect Our Winters.
"Without a stable climate, our industry, our jobs, the economies of mountain communities everywhere and the valued lifestyle of winter will be gone," Steinkamp said.
However, Aaron Weyman, spokesman for Tussey Mountain Ski Area in Boalsburg, said climate change is a serious thing.
"Last year was the first winter in several years where the warm weather really affected us. This year they are calling for an above average winter [snowfall]." Weyman said.
Betsey Howell, executive director of the Central Pennsylvania Convention and Visitors Bureau in State College, agrees with Weyman.
"As long as we have enough cold weather that places like Tussey Mountain can make their own snow, they will be OK," Howell said.
Dennis Tice, executive director of the Bedford County Visitors Bureau, said a lack of snowfall is a concern but doesn't necessarily believe it is because of global warning.
"I see a lack of snow compared to when I was a kid. I am concerned there is a lack of snow. I don't believe it is all about global warming. I believe weather is cyclical," Tice said. "I think everybody will be happy when [the snow] comes back."
Mark Ickes, executive director of Explore Altoona, said he finds the report interesting but is not overly concerned about what it says.
"Even though winter recreation is important to us, it is more important for Explore Altoona to focus on all reasons why people should visit Altoona and Blair County," Ickes said. "That is why we focus on a variety of the visitor experience."

Dairy recommended as a cornerstone in American diets
Dairy recommended as a cornerstone in American diets
Every five years, the federal government releases updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans, making recommendations on servings for the various food groups. Milk and dairy products continue to be an important entity in a healthy diet. These guidelines aim to prevent and/or reduce overweight and obesity through improved eating and physical activity behaviors. Because more than one-third of children and more than two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese, the 7th edition of Dietary Guidelines for Americans places stronger emphasis on reducing calorie consumption and increasing physical activity.
The new guidelines emphasize a total diet approach, urging consumers to reduce calories, watch serving sizes, make nutrient-rich food choices (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat and reduced fat dairy products), and to be more physically active. It is important to remember that what works for someone is not going to work exactly the same for the person standing next to them, but the concept applies to all.
Here are key messages for consumers:
Balancing Calories
• Enjoy your food, but eat less.
• Avoid oversized portions.
Foods to Increase
• Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables.
• Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1 percent) milk.
Foods to Reduce
• Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals, and choose meals with the lower numbers.
• Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
The updated guidelines suggest three servings for milk or dairy products for those over the age of 9. Currently, Americans are falling short; they are consuming just two servings of dairy per day. Unfortunately, that translates to 85 percent of Americans not consuming the minimum intake of dairy in their daily diets. Imagine the dairy consumption if this 85 percent increased their milk and dairy products to the recommended level? That is a huge increase in demand for our natural and healthful product.
Milk and dairy are included in these new guidelines, not only for their nutritional value, but for its health benefits such as reducing risk of cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes, as well as lowering blood pressure in adults. The health benefits of milk are numerous and those that we need to remember to share with others include those nine essential nutrients for good health, including calcium, potassium, phosphorus, protein, vitamins D, A, and B12, riboflavin and niacin.
Milk and dairy products are certainly value-packed with its wide availability at supermarkets, affordability (about a quarter per glass), and complete nutrition; it is an all-brainer for a healthy body and mind!
For more information and tips to incorporate more dairy in the diet, visit www.nationaldairycouncil.org. USDA's website includes the press releases on the guidelines, along with nutrition information every food science instructor, parent and consumer should read and contemplate before making food purchasing choices. See the complete data at: http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/DGAs2010-PolicyDocument.htm
As we discuss human nutrition in today's blog, be sure to join us for a cattle nutrition topic next Monday, April 11, at noon Central Daylight Time, when we host our next Hoard's Dairyman monthly webinar. Mike Hutjens at the University of Illinois will be presenting the webinar on the topic, "Fine-tuning your feeding strategy." The April webinar is brought to you by Elanco (www.elancodairy.com).

The Nebraska State Patrol has identified the four people killed aboard a small plane that crashed in a Lincoln County field in central Nebraska.
The patrol confirmed that 54-year-old Mark Bottorff, of Lancaster, Kan., was piloting the plane when it crashed Friday afternoon about 13 miles northeast of Maxwell. The patrol says the others killed in the crash were 71-year-old Ken Babcock, of Hiawatha, Kan.; 39-year-old Jason Drane, of St. Joseph, Mo., and 53-year-old Chris Nelsen, of York, Neb.
The twin-engine was reported missing shortly after taking off from the North Platte airport around 3:46 p.m. Friday.
Jerry Ernzen, who worked with Bottorff, says Bottorff and the other men did business together.
