no stars Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - January/February 2005
($376; for 375 ml.) Even though this is still slowly fermenting, it displays refinement and lift alongside the viscosity of texture and honey, caramel and spice character it shares with Leitz's other '03 TBAs. The long, penetrating finish combines juicy fresh fruit and salty mineral layers. This year's entire TBA collection really demands delayed assessment but there can be no doubt that this particular wine is headed for the stars. 2 stars.

By 1896 white rhino were extinct in the Lowveld, while elsewhere a relic 50 animals survived between the White and Black Umfolozi rivers in Zululand. Successful conservation measures made it possible to re-introduce 337 rhino from 1961 onwards, and the Kruger Park now safeguards the world's largest population.
White rhino require a reliable supply of water, both for drinking (every two to three days). In Kruger National Park, 85 per cent of the white rhino population occurs in the Southern Region, where rainfall is higher than average and water holes are evenly distributed. Their senses of smell and hearing are good, but their eyesight is poor.
A white rhino bull marks his territory by spray-urinating along its boundaries. Only territorial males do this; subordinate males are allowed to live within the territory so long as they remain submissive. Females are free to wander across the territories of several males.
White rhino coat their hides in mud to reduce bites from irritating flies, and during the hot summer months mud wallows help to regulate body temperature. With a considerable body mass of up to 2 300 kilograms, and a vast surface area that is increased by folds of skin, white rhino can remove large quantities of mud from a wallow with each visit. Over the decades this has the effect of excavating significant depressions in the veld, which are rapidly filled during the rainy season to form pans.
An elephant drinks from a pool in the Mphongolo River that still holds water during winter months. An elephant can draw 17 litres of water at a time. During winter, elephant are usually concentrated within six kilometres of water and drink on average every two days, consuming between 180 and 400 litres per visit.
Two young elephants play on the soft, cool sandy bed of the Mphongolo River. Elephants live in well-ordered family groups that are usually led by the oldest female, the matriarch. In addition to the matriarch, the group consists of her older female calves, related females and their offspring. Males leave the herd from the age of 12 years.
The elephant with its dexterous trunk, which is composed of 50 000 muscles, is able to carefully select leaves from among the thorny branches of a thicket of Delagoa thorns (Acacia delagoensis).
Young buffalo depend on the structure of the herd for protection. Buffalo are almost exclusively grazers, and half the Kruger population occurs on the open savannas of the Central Region. These bovids consume large quantities of grass of a moderate quality, and in doing so play a valuable role in the ecosystem by reducing tall grasslands and opening up areas for the antelope that feed only on short grasses.
As an adult can weigh more than 750 kilograms, buffalo comprise a quarter of Kruger's total biomass, or live weight of animals. Although lion working together can overpower an adult bull, the availability of sufficient grass is the most important limiting factor on herd size.
Unlike most antelope species, male buffalo voluntarily leave the breeding herd and rejoin at a later stage. A herd does not occupy a fixed territory, and its favoured home range includes certain areas that are utilised during winter, and an expanded range that is used during summer. Typically, old bulls eventually become permanently separated from the herd to live a solitary existence, or form small bachelor groups.
In winter, buffalo in Kruger National Park concentrate within eight kilometres of permanent water, especially along the Sabie, Olifants, Letaba and Shingwedzi rivers, and the sight of a herd of several hundred buffalo raising clouds of red dust as they trek to water is one of the most memorable that the Park can offer.
A dominant buffalo bull asserts his position by holding his head high while pointing his nose towards the ground. Head-tossing and a hooking motion of the horns are also used. If this fails, the bull will batter his solid horn boss against that of his rival until he gives in.
Under favourable conditions, when game concentrates around water holes and there is a steady supply of prey, a lioness can give birth to a litter of one to five cubs every two years. Within a pride most cubs are born at the same time, mostly between February and April when young prey animals are abundant.
Since the establishment of the Park in 1898, lion have increased proportionately to a significant increase in their prey species. In the 1920s Stevenson-Hamilton counted 600 lion in the Park. Today, Kruger supports about 2 000, representing one of the largest populations in Africa.
The mane of a dominant pride lion protects the head and neck from injury and deters rival males by making the lion appear more formidable. In East Africa the Maasai people have copied this mask, and warriors wear feathered headdresses to appear taller and more menacing.
Lion keep a close watch on descending vultures in the hope of locating a potential meal. Lion are opportunistic predators that will also scavenge food from other predators, and in this instance were able to locate the vultures and the remains of a kill in less than 20 minutes.
Although lion spend much of the day resting, a charging lion dispels any doubts about their strength, speed and agility. Most chases are short and do not exceed 200 metres, but a lion can attain a speed of 60 kilometres an hour in a final burst of speed before bringing down prey.
Play activities within the safety of the pride prepare lion cubs for hunting success in adulthood. Young cubs display a pattern of brown spots and rosettes that is similar to the patterning on the coat of leopard, and may be useful as camouflage.
A large male leopard can weigh as much as 70 kilograms, but females are much lighter at about 30 kilograms. Impala comprise 78 per cent of the leopard's diet in Kruger. An adult leopard requires prey equivalent to about 20 impala per year, so leopard predation is not a major limiting factor on impala numbers.
As leopard are primarily nocturnal and active when lion and hyaena are about, these powerful cats have to face strong competition. In the Kruger Park they prey mainly on impala and aggressively defend their kills against rival predators. Essentially ground dwelling, leopard readily climb trees to escape from danger and to store their kills safely out of the reach of other predators.
Long believed to be very scarce, in the 1970s an American researcher captured a surprising number of leopard within a few kilometres of Skukuza, and the estimate of the total number in the Park was revised to about 1 000. The number is believed to have remained relatively unchanged up to the present. This is because - barring major habitat changes and human interference - leopard populations tend to remain stable, kept in balance by the availability of prey species and the corresponding size of each leopard's territory.
While leopard inhabit all 16 of Kruger's major vegetation types, the highest densities occur in dense riverine bush bordering rivers such as the Sabie and Shingwedzi.

Veteran ID cards get lots of takers
WARREN - Veterans lined up at the Trumbull County Recorder's Office on Friday to receive free ID cards as part of a new initiative.
Within the first few hours of offering the program, Recorder Diana Marchese said the office issued more than 100 cards. The IDs can be used to verify military status at local businesses that offer discounts to vets.
To get their ID card, veterans must have their DD Form 214 discharge papers on record in Trumbull County, which can be done at the same time that they get their card made, by presenting the form to the recorder.
The ID card program began after passage of an Ohio Senate Bill that gave recorders the ability to issue the cards. Since then Stark County led the way locally with Mahoning County following close behind to offer the cards in November. The program will carry on as a daily function of the offices.
Red Cross needs heroes for annual recognition
WARREN - The American Red Cross of the Mahoning Valley is looking to recognize residents of the Mahoning Valley who have acted courageously and selflessly in a time of emergency. Nominations for its annual Acts of Courage Awards are being accepted now until April 10.
Nominees must reside or be employed in Mahoning, Trumbull or Columbiana counties. The heroic event may have happened anywhere, but must have occurred between Jan. 1, 2013, and April 1, 2014. Award recipients will be honored during a dinner hosted by the Red Cross.
To nominate a local hero who has saved a life, call 330-392-2551.
'Reading Great by 8' program to be unveiled
WARREN - A United Way of Trumbull County initiative, ''Reading Great by 8,'' will be announced at a 10 a.m. press conference Monday morning at the organization's office in Warren.
The goal of the initiative is that by the time a child is 8 years old, he or she should be able to read great, according to the news release from the organization.
The program, aimed at meeting Ohio's third-grade reading requirements, will be backed by several others at the conference including representatives of Warren City Schools, Trumbull Metropolitan Housing Authority, Warren-Trumbull County Public Library, GFWC Ohio Warren Junior Women's League, and the Mahoning Valley Scrappers.
Casino revenue drops again for January
COLUMBUS - Regulators say total revenue from Ohio's four voter-approved casinos dropped again in January, when two temporarily closed because of brutally cold winter weather.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission reported Friday that revenue totaled just under $59.7 million, down from $63.2 million in a lackluster December.
Cincinnati's casino, which is the newest, was the only one of the four to post a monthly revenue increase. Its revenue rose from $14.2 million in December to about $16.2 million last month.
Revenue at the remaining casinos in Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo was down compared with the previous month and the same time last year.
The steepest month-to-month drop was at the Toledo casino, which closed twice for a total of nearly 52 hours. Cleveland's casino closed for 37 hours because of the weather.
Woman dies after apparent dog attack
DAYTON - Police in southwestern Ohio say a woman who was apparently attacked by two large dogs has died.
Assistant Chief Bob Chabali of the Dayton police says officers responded to a call Friday morning about a person on a sidewalk. He says officers were forced to shoot the dogs when they advanced toward police.
Chabali says police were told that the dogs belonged to residents of a neighboring home. He says a man and a woman from that home were taken to the police station for questioning.

Clark Grand in 103-82 Win Over La Salle
Feb. 14, 2010
PITTSBURGH - Bill Clark scored a career-high 34 points - including the 1,000th of his career - as Duquesne (13-12, 4-7) topped the 100-point mark for the first time this season in pulling away for a 103-82 win over outmanned La Salle at the Palumbo Center.
It was the first time the home team has won in the series since 2006.
Melquan Bolding went 13-of-15 from the foul line in scoring 24 points and Damian Saunders had 13 points, 14 rebounds, five blocks and three steals for Duquesne.
Rodney Green paced La Salle, which had just eight players in uniform due to injuries, with 27 points.
Duquesne, which opened the game making wholesale lineup changes every few minutes in an effort to wear down the Explorers, fell behind 41-27 with 7:41 to go in the half. It was then that the Dukes went on an 18-4 run, fueled by eight points from Clark, to tie it at 45-45 on a Damian Saunders 3-pointer with 2:46 to go. DU took its first lead on a Jason Duty free throw two minutes later before La Salle tied it at 49-49 at the half.
Duquesne led 71-66 before Bolding started a 15-3 run with a three-point play at the 11:40 mark of the second half. La Salle, which finished with a season-high 28 turnovers, turned it over five times during the run which ended on a Sean Johnson steal and layup that made it 86-67 with 7:45 left. The DU lead would not drop below 16 the rest of the way.
Duquesne, which came into the game averaging 68.6 points per game scored its 69th point just over six minutes into the second half. The Dukes topped the 100-point mark on a Johnson dunk with 1:59 left.
"I think the tone was set by the way we started the game," said Duquesne head coach Ron Everhart. "We had guys flying around and giving us a lot of energy. We desperately needed to win one of these kind of games. Our guys played well and had their legs down the stretch."
Clark, who scored 17 points in each half, was 11-of-14 from the field. His four 3-pointers were his most since he hit six against Pittsburgh on Nov. 2. Bolding's 24 points were two shy of his career high.
Duquesne shot 55.9 percent in outscoring La Salle 54-33 in the second half. "One day, one night, we were going to shoot the ball well and have one of those nights," said Everhart. "Today was that day."
Duquesne hits the road to face Charlotte (18-6, 8-2) on Wednesday, Feb. 17 at 7:00 p.m. The game will be televised regionally by CBS College Sports.
Bill Clark - who finished with a career-high 34 points - joined teammate Damian Saunders in the Duquesne 1,000-point club with a 3-pointer 12 seconds into the second half ... Saunders, who topped the 1,000-point mark on Thursday against UMass, has 1,014 career points ... Clark now has 1,016 ... Clark eclipsed his previous career high of 25 set at Western Carolina on Nov. 25, with a pair of free throws at the 15:57 mark of the second half.
Saunders, who entered the weekend ranked third nationally with 17 double-doubles, finished with 13 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks and 3 steals in 33 minutes ... his 18 double-doubles are the most by a Duquesne player since Bruce Atkins had 22 in 1980-81.
This was the first time since an 84-61 La Salle win at Philadelphia on Jan. 4, 2006 that the home team won (La Salle won three in row in Pittsburgh and Duquesne three in a row in Philadelphia) ... Everhart's Duquesne teams have topped the 100-point mark seven times in his four seasons ... three have come against La Salle.
La Salle is playing without three members of its regular rotation in senior forward Yves Mekongo (fractured finger) and senior guards Kimmani Barrett (our 6-8 weeks with fractured foot) and senior Ruben Guillandeaux (out for season with stress fracture in his foot) ... the trio has 2,839 career points.

PASSING OFFENSE: A-minus
The Colts threw for 288 yards, as QB Peyton Manning completed 20 of 29 passes for 288 yards and four touchdowns. Manning shared the football with five receivers, including Reggie Wayne (eight catches for 158 yards and one touchdown) and Dallas Clark (seven receptions for 60 yards and two TDs). Indianapolis also got good production from Ben Utecht and Anthony Gonzalez. The Colts allowed just one sack and five quarterback hurries. Manning's poorly thrown end-zone interception when Indianapolis was deep in Jacksonville territory was the only blemish on the passing game.
RUSHING OFFENSE: B-minus
Not a great day for the Colts, but it was a good, workman-like performance. RB Joseph Addai had 67 yards on 21 carries, but backup Kenton Keith lost 6 yards on one rushing attempt. Addai, though, picked up some big yards in short-yardage situations, especially late in the game when Indianapolis was trying to run down the clock.
PASS DEFENSE: B-minus
Indianapolis sacked David Garrard three times and came up with an interception. The Colts had four quarterback hurries and three passes deflected, including one that led to the goal line interception by S Antoine Bethea. Garrard, though, put up some pretty good numbers, completing 24 of 29 passes for 257 yards and two TDs. The Colts allowed two passing plays 20 yards or more.
RUSH DEFENSE: B-minus
The one-two punch of Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew is tough to contain. Taylor bruised the Colts for 104 yards on 14 carries, including a run of 29 yards. While Jones-Drew only had 52 yards on 11 attempts, he added a 22-yard run along with a 2-yard rushing touchdown. The Jaguars averaged 5.4 yards per rushing attempt.
SPECIAL TEAMS: B-plus
PK Adam Vinatieri did not attempt a field goal, but his directional kickoffs did a good job of keeping the Jacksonville kick returners bottled up and helped the coverage unit. The Colts did allow kickoff returns of 25 and 20 yards. P Hunter Smith averaged 38 gross yards and 34.5 net yards (including one inside the 20-yard line). T.J. Rushing did not have a punt return but did have one kickoff return for 22 yards.
Despite injuries to several key players, including Pro Bowl WR Marvin Harrison, the Colts are 10-2 and are on the verge of clinching their fifth consecutive AFC South title. The Indianapolis coaching staff has done a pretty good job of plugging backups and rookies into prominent roles over the past month. That may bode well as the season progresses and on into the postseason, as the team's depth will be battle-tested and will be ready when called upon to play if needed.

First it was Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, then Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona and last summer it was Luka Modric to Madrid.
Three transfer sagas which in the end bored the hell out of us with their constant speculation and inevitable predictability.
2013 seems to be the year of Gareth Bale and Neymar, the former constantly linked with a move to Los Blancos and the latter to La Blaugrana.
In the English press, former Madrid owner Ramon Calderon told The Sun that the $90 million asking price would not act as a deterrent: "It's true we have spent a lot of money in the last three or four years but I think we are in a position to pay the money they are going to ask for."
The Mail, The Mirror, The Guardian and The Star all repeatedly run stories on Real's interest in the Welshman, too. Meanwhile, in Spain, only recent Clasicos have lessened the column inches Marca have been designating to Bale.
Some of the speculation, such as this article in the Daily Mail, suggests that Bale would be the heir to Ronaldo's throne. If he isn't, and if they are both to play together, how would he fit into Mourinho's current lineup?

There's a lot to think about, from actually shooting the video to post production, finding copyright free music and more. Equipment quality, lighting expertise, editing skill and audio optimization still matter a great deal (more than ever, in fact).
So while the barriers to entry for video creation have been reduced, the barriers to creating exceptional video have actually skyrocketed.In this column, we're going to explore some really useful places to find one element that can make your marketing and product videos way more professional and polished: background music....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Video content has exploded in popularity, and it's no wonder.
Retail marketers have long focused on perfecting their omnichannel strategies; however, the rules of consumer engagement have changed. Many major anchor stores are either closing or redesigning their approaches, and the overall mall landscape is changing to meet the needs of a new audience.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
The retail landscape is now omnichannel.and consumers are setting the table with new demands.
Good typography may be hard work, but designers shouldn't forget to have some fun with it! While crafting fonts and typographic characters can sometimes feel stiff and overly mathematical, we want you to help you find the joy in creating more expressive and playful typography.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Lots of creative inspiration here and tips on how to use fun and playful typography in your design..
There's no denying it… Bright, bold colors have been a huge trend this year—not only a 2016 web design trend, but across all mediums. This color palette is popular with good reason; when bright color pops in design, it can conjure excitement, joy and intrigue. For that reason, it's a great skill to master as a designer.

SnapChat officially changed its name to Snap, Inc. as the company restyles itself from a one-[major] hit app company into a digital lifestyle brand. To mark the occasion, Snap, Inc. introduced Spectacles, fashion and tech-forward sunglasses that record 10-second clips, which can then be uploaded to SnapChat Memories via wifi. Following the Apple playbook, Snap, Inc. also designed a fashionable case that doubles as a charger. Spectacles will be available this Fall and will cost $130.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it the illegitimate child of Donald Trump? Well SnapChat, I mean Snap Inc, that was, well, what the hell was that?
With its acquisition by Microsoft still several months from closing, LinkedIn is wasting no time revamping the Web site and adding new features to help bolster user engagement. The new features include an "Interest Feed," aggregating content relevant to individual users, a new platform for its online education service Lynda, and of course the inevitable chat bot.

Why does the tip of my penis hurt when i poke my belly button?
every time i try to clean my belly button, the tip of my penis starts to hurt. i am not kid.
Does masturbaiting make penis small?
both the navel and the genitals distribute sensation signals to one certain constituent of the brain. If you stimulate the navel, that certain quantity of the brain gets alike sensations as if you had stimulated the genitals
I stopped washing my frontage with soap, and lo and behold, no more acnes?I'm gonna go play near my belly button now.

I know it sounds insane, given the fact some of the toughest moments during my marathon training have come while going 20-plus miles for my weekend long run.
But I've also had some of my best moments during those 20-milers. My last 20 produced such a runner's high that I forgot about the nasty 21-miler in the heat and humidity the week before. I forgot about my first 20-mile run in March, one which had me questioning why I wanted to race 26.2 miles in the first place.
The 20s were in the bank as I began my taper for the May 23 Bayshore Marathon in Traverse City last week. I got a kick out of telling people I was going to run "only" 12 miles on Saturday.
Only 12.
I did some of my 20s alone, some with Saturday morning training partner Drew Williams of Grand Blanc. We had some good conversation and more than a few laughs during those extra-long runs. We ran some nice courses out on dirt roads between Genesys Athletic Club in Grand Blanc Township and Holly.
I've heard it said that there's a type of withdrawal runners experience once their marathon training and the race itself are over. Maybe I was starting to feel that a little earlier than most people.
For the first week of my three-week taper, I cut my mileage from between 45 and 50 down to 32. I ran only three times instead of four times, doing a spinning class three times instead of two. The run-to-bike ratio just worked out that way because of the availability of training partner Bill Robson of Grand Blanc.
• Week 4
• Week 5
• Week 6
• Week 7
• Week 8
• Week 9
• Week 10
• Week 11
• Week 12
• Week 13
I told him it would begin with the reduced Saturday long run. Instead of going 20-plus, as I had for three straight Saturdays, I ran 12.5 miles from Genesys down Holly Road to Grange Hall Road in Holly, then back again.
I did the run with former Powers Catholic standout Leo Foley and Williams. Drew left us halfway through the run and went out another two miles before turning around to complete a 16-mile run. He's running the Charlevoix Marathon on June 27 and is still in his heavy training.
I had a good time mocking Drew's disdain for running in the rain, which we did for several miles. He insisted on not running the dirt roads, because they'd be too muddy. It was good conversation and the miles clicked by way too quickly.
We went out at about an 8:10 pace, then Leo and I picked it up on the second half of the run, doing about 7:20s. The total average was 7:47, close to my goal pace for Bayshore.
Thus, week 14 of my marathon training program and week one of my taper was complete. It's two weeks until Bayshore, but I'm already starting to feel nostalgic about all the weeks of training and the fun moments with my training partners that I've experienced so far.
Here's how the rest of my training week went:
The first workout of my three-week taper was an 80-minute spinning class that I did on dead legs, having done a hard 20-mile run two days earlier. I figured I'll start to ease it down another day.
The mad rush to the end of my training period continued with a 10-mile day that included four hard one-mile loops through a neighborhood in Grand Blanc.
I felt like garbage when Robson and I did our warmup and figured that backing it down to 6:20 pace would still make it a good day. It's amazing how a good warmup will get the engine going.
Robson and I both negative-split our workout. I ran my mile loops in 6:11.27, 6:10.97, 6:06.47 and 5:59.62. I haven't seen a sub-6:00 mile during a workout in four years. I was pretty pumped about that.
Another spinning class, this time only 50 minutes. Again, my legs weren't very happy about it after a hard workout the previous day.
I'm focusing on doing more stuff at planned marathon race pace in the final weeks. On this day, Robson and I did three two-mile repeats through the Indian Hill neighborhood in Grand Blanc.
For shorter runs, my marathon pace feels almost too easy, like I have to hold myself back. Let's see how it feels at mile 21 in Traverse City. We ran the two-mile repeats at 7:43, 7:35 and 7:33 pace, with a total time more than two minutes slower than I did them for speed work the previous week.
The Friday morning spinning class is usually the easiest, lasting only 45 minutes. The combination of some personal stress and legs that are deep into a marathon training program made this a difficult ride to get through.

Madrid"Spanish people are sexy in general, but I love the locals in Madrid. In addition to good genes, they just have this confidence that oozes sex appeal. I think it's enhanced by the city's architecture, which could easily be the backdrop of a fashion shoot or fragrance campaign. It's just very romantic and Goth and moody. Throw in some flamenco dancers, soccer players, accents and dramatic hand gestures -- whatever it is, everything here is sexy to me." – Jimmy Im 960 1280
Stockholm"Slim, tall and impeccably dressed, the people of Stockholm are more diverse than the blond-haired, blue-eyed stereotype would lead you to believe. Dressed-to-kill publishing types frequent the areas around Stureplan and trendy restaurants like Ekstedt, while the look in music and cafe-mad Sodermalm slants far more hipster. And while Swedes aren't exactly the outgoing-with-strangers types, they do love to practice their English with native speakers -- use it to your advantage to make friends." – Terry Ward 960 1280
Italy"Despite stretches of living, working and traveling across Italy, I never tire of ogling Italians; they exude a pervasive, innate sexiness. Whether they're -- against all odds -- making red-linen pants look seductive, casually sipping an espresso while perusing La Repubblica newspaper or being freakishly dexterous by simultaneously chattering on a cell phone, smoking a cigarette and eating a gelato while wearing a micro-mini skirt and careening through Rome's streets on a Vespa -- Italianos are dead sexy." – Valerie Conners 960 1280
Tel Aviv"The the fun-loving, hedonist vibe of Tel Aviv's residents is definitely sexy. They don't need a special occasion to stay out until dawn any day of the week -- whether it's lounging inside a cozy wine bar, sipping cocktails at a glamorous restaurant created by a celebrity chef or rocking out to a deejay at a gritty nightclub. Residents take their leisure time very seriously and seem to pursue pleasure with a passion. Observing how they drink up the present moment despite living in a sometimes rocky corner of the world gives them a seductive charm that's all their own." –- Lost Girl Holly Corbett 960 1280
Argentina"Argentina's cowboys, known as gauchos, make my world's sexiest list. On a trip to a ranch outside Buenos Aires, I was one of many women swooning over Luca. He excelled at a gaucho game called the ring race, where gauchos race on horseback to capture a small hanging ring on the end of a metal rod. When they capture the ring, they place it on the finger of a lady of their choosing. Every woman on that ranch, married or single, wanted Luca to put a ring on it." -- Robin Bennefield 960 1280
Mexico City"As one of the largest cities in the world, maybe the odds of having the sexiest people are simply this city's favor. Or maybe it is the outcome of the mixing of native Aztec and Mayan cultures with old world Spanish that has taken place over the centuries. Or maybe its the language. Even when you don't understand what is being said, it makes your heart beat faster from the mere sound of it. Regardless of the reason, this city's Latinos and Latinas are as spicy as its cuisine, as sultry as its music and as captivating as its history." -- Troy Petenbrink 960 1280
Rome"Perhaps I'm biased since my father's from Italy, but a gene pool that turned out Roman native Sophia Loren is nothing if not sexy. And anyone who has seen La Dolce Vita may never look at the Trevi Fountain quite the same again. Add the art, passion, history, fashion and food–-even the language is romantic--and you have a city that pulses with excitement. Trim, tawny Romans dress beautifully and embody the idea of 'bella figura.' I'm pretty sure I have a good idea of what many Romans are up to during their daily siestas." -- Rina Rapuano 960 1280
Brazil"The sexiest people in the world can be found in that renowned epicenter of bulbous backsides, Brazil. The über-toned beach bodies and striking coal-to-cream complexion speak to Brazil's virtually endless coastline and centuries-old history of intermixing and immigration. And there's the pervasive friendliness and joie de vivre that Brazilians seem to be born with, resulting in people who are both sexy and sweet." -- Ernest White II 960 1280
Uruguay"Even though I'm Argentine, I would always take the 'Buquebus' over to Punta del Este, Uruguay, during my winter break. I don't know whether it's because a lot of the polo players, models, celebrities and the super posh vacation there, but every break I spent there was always amongst a sea of beautiful men and women. I now make sure to hit a month-long boot camp before I go, just so I don't feel so out of place!" -– Marianela Pereyra 960 1280
New York City"It may not always be conventional, but sexy is waiting around every corner in New York. I love never knowing whom I'll meet next here, be it a gaggle of top international models or a crazy person channeling alien wisdom. And for me, New Yorkers get extra-sexy points just for living in this tough but glorious melting pot, where beauty and style take an infinite variety of forms, and span the widest spectrums of class and nationality. As Garbo well proved, this is a city where even the most extraordinarily sexy can blend in as just another New Yorker." -– Dan Allen 960 1280

Figure 2 illustrates the amount of infectious (plaque-forming) virus observed at each time point PI. Note that at 140 hours post infection, virus titers reached 3 x 109 infectious units as determined by a plaque assay. Likewise, genomic equivalents (PCR) increased over a similar course and no detectable genetic mutation in HA was observed during the entire incubation period (data not shown). As with most influenza isolates, there are approximately 10–100 non-infectious particles for every infectious unit; thus, we believe that the total particle count was approximately 3 x 1010–3 x 1011.
While the Biovest HF Primer is useful for experimental needs, more sophisticated, automated, and higher production capacity units such as the AutovaxID (Figure 3) are needed for large-scale virus production. Since this system is functionally closed, yet automates mammalian cell processes, it is ideal for the production of viruses or cell-secreted proteins. A combination of pore-size selection and control of the fluid dynamics within the bioreactor encourages removal of harmful cytokines and virus-induced host shutoff proteins while maintaining virus stability.
Most importantly, the two-component design of the AutovaxID provides containment that minimizes the need for traditional cleanrooms, greatly reduces the risk of process contamination, and provides a small footprint that facilitates adaptation to existing BSL-2 or BLS-3 facilities.
AutovaxID is an example of how advanced hollow fiber technology can play an integral role in the manufacture of vaccines. In comparison to error-prone manual techniques or minimally customizable large-tank systems, the AutovaxID is:
Hollow-fiber bioreactors offer a compact, highly efficient, scalable, and economical method for virus production. The combination of an unlimited nutrient supply and the ability to de-bulk the culture through the cartridge ports allows the system to be maintained at relative equilibrium for extended periods.
This continuous production over long periods of time, rather than the batch-style approach of other systems, provides several benefits including consistency in culture conditions, dramatically increased production per unit footprint and culture volume, continuous or daily product harvest allowing timely and convenient stabilizing treatment for collection and storage, and selective dilution or removal of products from the culture that might be toxic or inhibitory to cells.

PEORIA — Peoria's school board has voted to lay off nearly 200 employees — mostly full- and part-time teachers.Education officials voted for the layoffs during a meeting on Monday.Dave Kinney is the school district's interim comptroller.He says the district is already facing a $6 million budget deficit on top of falling revenue from property taxes. More budget cuts could follow depending on state funding.Peoria School District 150 has about 14,000 students in two dozen schools. It employs about 1,000 teachers.The layoffs also include about three dozen support staff.

Exploring ELF has nothing to do with Santa's little helpers but is in fact a new book in the Cambridge Applied Linguistics series, authored by Anna Mauranen and edited by Carol A. Chappelle and Susan Hunston. ELF stands for English as a Lingua Franca, a term which is becoming more widely recognized around the world, especially in the realms of academia among not only language researchers but also teachers. Exploring ELF covers a vast range of topics related to ELF and all are extremely relevant in the field of linguistics.
The book deals with different perspectives on ELF, academic speech as data, vocabulary in oral ELF, word grammar, discourse explicitness, and repetition and rephrasing, after the very interesting Introduction. I was a little apprehensive because it seemed quite long at fourteen pages. However, as I started to read it I was relieved to find that it is very interesting and informative. Mauranen introduces the world of ELF and its spread in a relatively easy manner and includes a number of references and studies relevant to ELF. She also outlines the chapters, making the book easier to navigate. The introduction ends with a detailed reference list which is extremely useful for anyone interested in ELF. I highly recommend looking at the introduction before diving into the book.

A little more information would be helpful. Did you follow the step by
step installation instructions provided by Macromedia? If so, which
instruction did you get stuck on? Which files and directories does it
reference that do not exist on your computer? And which version of
Mozilla are you using?
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like 127.0.0.1

Students from select continuation high schools were invited to discuss and generate solutions to the state's growing dropout crisis.
The day was filled with open dialogues between students, teachers, presenters, administrators and Los Angeles County Office of Education leaders.
"We had the opportunity to share our views on preventing students from dropping out of school. Having that forum to express our ideas was empowering," Bowman junior Candida Castaneda said.
The discussion did more than empower and spur great ideas. It also gave students an awareness of others in situations similar to their own.
"I met many interesting students from different schools and was amazed at how we are all alike and have the same goals," Bowman junior Omid Vakili said.
Unity in the struggle against the drop-out issue was a recurrent theme not only among students but also in conversations with teachers and administrators.
"Collaboration about what successful schools are doing as 'best practices' is crucial in bridging the gap and in helping at-risk students stay in school, graduate and proceed to college," said Bowman Principal Robin Geissler.
Open dialogue was another theme of the day. Students were encouraged to be frank about what strategies keep them engaged and what obstacles keep them from graduating or being interested in school.
In this context, faculty and staff listened intently as students like Candida expressed the importance of supportive teachers in making the difference between success and failure.
"Having teachers be passionate about what they do and relating well to students is a key to success for staying in school," she said. "That's personally what I love about Bowman. Teachers there care about you and they have fun with their teaching. They are happy to be at school helping us."
The day was hosted by students from comprehensive schools, who often are most at-risk of dropping out of school. The critical questions county facilitators posed to the continuation school students sparked some spirited discussion: "What kept you from dropping out? What does your school do that keeps you going?"
Positive responses generated by the continuation students affirmed that what their schools are actively doing to close the achievement gap is working.
Alternative-education students stressed that they were still in school and on track to graduate due to the efforts of the dedicated teachers and staff members at their schools.
The most poignant comments, which really summarized the day, came from juniors Vakili and Castaneda. "Bowman High School is exactly what I need to graduate," Vakili said. "This school gives me the opportunity to concentrate on being successful, providing me with the peer mediation and support necessary to achieve my dreams. I plan on becoming an engineer, and I am confident that I will be successful."
Castaneda's plan includes attending college, training as a medical assistant and then eventually completing a nursing program.
"I love helping people. My ultimate goal is to work for St. Jude's Hospital, helping cancer patients recover," she said.
"My grandpa had cancer, and I visited him there and saw how much his doctors and nurses helped. I want to give back, just like they did for my family. Honestly though, I never would have even thought I could achieve this dream before I went to Bowman High School. They gave me a second chance to make the most of my life."
Bowman High School's current graduation rate is 96.8 percent. "This amazing statistic must be measured by the faces of the students it represents," Geissler said.
"These are individual lives saved and bright futures claimed. Although the statistic is remarkable and deserving of praise, I can't help but think about the fates of the other students who did not graduate.
"Until every student succeeds, earns a high-school diploma and is on track with a post-secondary plan, we can't quit. We just can't give up on our kids. If we fail our students, we jeopardize our democratic ideals, our hope for the future and our moral obligation as champions of freedom. It is clear that failure is not an option."
Sergio Ballesteros is a social studies teacher at Bowman High School.

The Local Group dwarf galaxy IC 10 is currently undergoing an extensive burst of star formation, as indicated by its luminous \ion{H}{2} regions and a high density of Wolf-Rayet stars. As part of a multi-wavelength study, we have obtained images of this remarkable galaxy with H\alpha, H\beta, [\ion{S}{2}], and [\ion{O}{3}] filters at the Apache Point Observatory 3.5m telescope. The complex morphology noted in prior H\alpha observations is seen in the other emission lines, although the high line-of-sight reddening (E(B-V) ~0.85) severely limits our sensitivity in H\beta and [\ion{O}{3}]. We are using these data to identify candidate supernova remnants and Wolf-Rayet shells, and, in conjunction with longslit spectra, to obtain reddening measurements for the major \ion{H}{2} regions.

The Washington Township High School boys soccer team wrapped up the Olympic Conference American Division title, finishing its conference schedule on Wednesday with a 1-0 victory over Cherokee — the Minutemen's' second win this season over the Chiefs, who were the two-time defending state Group IV champions.
The Minutemen went 7-2-1 in arguably the toughest division in South Jersey. Five of the six teams are ranked in the South Jersey Media Top 15, topped by Washington Township at No. 2.
Cherokee is second in the conference at 4-3-3. A Chief win would have given them a share of the conference.
"We had to play smart, I sat back a little more than I had to, but our best defense is putting pressure on the offensive side, so it's hard for them to score," admitted senior Eric Jordan, Township's leading scorer. "We didn't want to share the title with anybody."
Township has six straight shutouts since a 5-3 loss to Cherry Hill East, including division wins over Eastern, Lenape and Cherokee.
"We moved some kids around, gelled really quickly," said Jordan. "We learned how to anticipate, our center backs have been outstanding. We're playing well defensively and controlling the ball.
"(Winning the division was definitely one of our top goals, we had high expectations. We expected it would be tough. To win, it was a happy moment. ealistically we knew there would be a couple bumps. It wasn't going to be a cakewalk in this division, because every game you have to play well or you won't win."
• LIONS' ROAR: Sacred Heart knew it was going to have to some growing pains coming into the season with a roster that included five freshmen and six sophomores.
The Lions just didn't expect everything to come together so quickly.
"A couple of guys on here never even played soccer before and they're getting significant minutes, so there is always going to be that adjustment period," said head coach Joe Sterchele. "Thirteen games into the season, freshmen aren't freshmen anymore and people that never played before aren't rookies anymore. They're players, and they are playing Sacred Heart soccer."
After getting out of the gates slow, the Lions have been streaking recently. They have won their last four and eight out of 10.
"I just think mentally they are starting to get more into it," Sterchele said. "Early on a lot of guys were trying to do one-on-one plays. Once they started having the confidence in those new kids and saw they could trust some of these guys that never played before. ... We out-pass everybody, we don't turn the ball over very often and score 4-5 goals a game."
• FAVORITES HOLD: There were only two upsets in the eight first-round South Jersey Coaches Tournament games, and one of those was No. 9 Moorestown topping No. 8 Haddonfield.
The lone big upset from a seed perspective was No. 14 Cherry Hill East upending No. 3 Kingsway, 2-0. The Cougars defeated Lenape 1-0, in a regular-season game on Wednesday, knocking off another one of the top teams in South Jersey.
Topped by Cherry Hill East's win, the Olympic American went 5-0 in first-round games. No. 2 Washington Township, No. 4 Lenape. No. 6 Cherokee and No. 7 Eastern also advanced.

Blending mixing or breeding 2 organisms.
-Ex: If you want a really healthy dog, breed a mutt, not a purebred.
2 Causes of Gene Shuffling.
1-Chromosomes of homologous pairs move independently during meiosis.
2-Crossing over further increases number of different genotypes.
Relative frequency.
The number of times that allele occurs in the gene pool, compared to the number of times all other alleles for that same gene occur.
Natural Selection
The process by which organisms with favorable variations reproduce at higher rates than those without such variations.
Directional Selection
individuals with the more extreme form of a trait have a higher fitness than individuals with an average form.
Disruptive Selection
individuals with either extreme variation of a trait have a higher fitness than those with the average form.
Survival of the Fittest
The more fit (adapted) the organism, the better chances they have to survive.
Why does the Founder's Effect occur most likely after a Natural Disaster?
The organisms could be seperated by the natural disaster, forcing the animals to adapt to their new environment.
5 conditions to maintain genetic equilbrium.
1-Random mating
2-Very large population
3-no immigration or emmigration
4-No mutations
5-No Natural Selection
Behavioral Isolation
2 populations are capable of interbreeding but do not understand each others courtship rituals.

Feline behaviorist Pam Johnson-Bennett, author of Think Like a Cat, says:You have done an amazing job so far in preparing Ricki for the introduction. What a truly kind heart you have to give this precious cat a loving home. It's not surprising that Ricki adapted well to the cats in the foster home because if he was abused by humans, it's natural that he would find a more trusting bond in other cats. With cats, at least Ricki could read and understand their body language. It's also not surprising that he is frightened if you are standing. I assume his abuser stood over him, scruffed him and hit him with objects. The poor cat has lots of emotional healing to do in order to trust humans again. It will take time and you are doing everything right. Let Ricki continue to set the pace and you'll find the bond will slowly begin to build. In addition to his history of abuse, he has also gone from home to home and that adds to his confusion. It will be a slow process but if you take baby steps with him, you'll start to see him blossom. I also think that once you start the introduction to your other two cats, Ricki may do better since he appears to be a cat's cat. It sounds as if you have prepared the main part of the home very well in anticipation of the introduction. Best,Pam Johnson-Bennett, CABC IAABC-Certified Animal Behavior Consultant

Nowhere in the question did the person say that Ricki adapted well to living with other cats. He wanted to know what would be a better, quicker way to introduce Ricki to Buster and Cyduck, so that the three of them can adjust comfortably.

I don't think this answer was any help at all. The "expert" offered no concrete advice.

Article was informative but does not help to classify the animal that I took in as a kitten. It was foound in the woods and raised in my home. I think I may have a tame lemur

When a former experimental developer like Ray Kurzweil forecasts that computers will soon awaken and rise to become smarter than their human handlers, you can see why he would make this argument. After all, if you go strictly by pop sci press, you will think that robots are taking over all human jobs, and we're oh so close to unlocking the secrets of consciousness and memory. Having become an armchair computers scientist years ago and profiting by starting a movement of those anticipating the coming AI Rapture, while somehow still remaining an influential atheist, he doesn't know better, to be blunt. Probe his predictions any farther than the surface and you'll see that despite his claims of constant study, he hasn't done any research into very real and well known problems with his big ideas, as demonstrated very clearly by his genome-to-brain flap. And this is why his record of successfully predicting future tech trends is abysmal. But what do we make of a serious, well published AI researcher giving a TED talk about the Omega Point, a time when his inventions will simply take over and figure out all the complex and interesting scientific phenomena we just can't seem to crack?
If you haven't heard anything about cutting edge computers being used by scientists to crunch data in new and useful ways or keep track of all the papers being generated by their colleagues, Jürgen Schmidhuber will sound very convincing, especially when he talks about the sheer volume of data that can be processed by a computer and how easily it can be programmed to tease out relationships between individual points of odd or otherwise interesting values. But the truth of the matter is that he's coming to his conclusions by simplifying what is actually involved in the process of making all these things work. Well duh, of course he's simplifying a complex field, you might argue, it's a TED talk! How complicated can you get in fifteen minutes about things it takes years to properly study? While that's certainly true, the oversimplification in play here is one in his mind, not the result of having to compress his thoughts into a short presentation. He's assuming that because you can build a machine that can crunch a lot of data and offer a lot of formulas you'll have to sort through to find a promising one, or point to new areas of study after crunching immense amounts of data, you can summon a digital equivalent to Tesla or Einstein and outsource all your problems to this machine, calling the point when this should happen the Omega, and then admitting that it's just a rehash of Singularity lore. We've seen why a good deal of Singularitarian thought on AI just doesn't work before, and his overview is not much better and if anything, it's more of a plug for his ambitious artificial neural network lab than anything else.
When you take a look at his work, you'll see a lot of experiments with artificial neural networks to achieve fast, efficient memory utilization at runtime, or better reliability in existing classifiers, or hybridizing concepts from a couple of networks to come up with brand new ways of computing values for virtual neurons and their inputs, along with a number of papers on universal computing concepts. One paper may talk about optimizing how a particular ANN setup will crunch numbers faster, another will lay out formulas for how a machine would make a choice to modify itself or find an optimal solution to a particular problem. They're all very interesting and well written, certainly something plenty of computer scientists could sink their teeth into for a while, but none of it is in any way, shape or form as close to getting him to build a virtual scientist as he says it does in his TED talk. He actually seems to be borrowing from Nick Bostrom's concept of a self-emergent superintelligence, one of his loftier ideas about the future of computation emerging from his musings on the likelihood of us being a virtual experiment of an advanced species rather than existing in what one would call reality. Again, it's great fodder for science fiction and makes for mind-blowing slideshows, but falls short when it comes to making all this actually work. If scientific knowledge we've accumulated so far never had to be updated and we knew with absolute certainty that everything we figured out by this point is absolutely correct and all peer-reviewed works could be safely taken at their word, we could at least entertain the notion. But we know that's not the case.
