Anions are the species having negative charge. Anions are formed by the gain of electrons.
Binary ionic compounds: it is described as the compounds consisting (both cations and anions) more than one ion.
Hydrogen loss one electron and form its cation.
The formula for hydrogen ion is (cation)
Chlorine gain one electron and form its anion

...but better late than never!
One more thing you forgot to add (even now), is that none of the 360s (that I know of) comes with rechargeable controllers. So if you would like to charge your controllers instead of buying endless batteries, then you will have to spend $15-20 per controller! Then again, if you don't want to do that, then you will still have to spend goodness knows how much money per year to replace the batteries.

I swung into Sunday afternoon on a braid of coffee and NSAIDs ready to plant my okra bed. The endeavor required a little more than just sinking seeds into the soil. I pulled out the spent sugar pea vines and their makeshift supports. The soil needed to be turned and raked and looked at. It was full of small brown caterpillars. Cutworms, I think. I collected about fifty and put them out for the wild birds. I transferred the vines to the compost bin, filling it to the top.
I'm crossing my fingers that the compost pile gets hot enough to destroy the pea pods so I don't have vines shooting out of it, turning it into some sort of free form Chia creation. I can't be bothered with that now. Getting the pile hot takes some work and I don't have the strength for it this week. I have to tackle one thing at a time. Right now it's okra.
I grow okra for my neighbor Ruby, the widow that lives across the street. Mind you, she wasn't widowed when we moved in. Just a few years back she would sit on the porch with her husband in a haze of cigarette smoke each evening. Once he was gone I started talking to her more. I think Ruby is fantastic. The other neighbors aren't so sure. The thing about her is that she minds her own business, but that's not to say she doesn't have an opinion about things. She doesn't talk to just anybody. She's slightly guarded. She's uncomfortable around Michael. I always feel the thrill of having fed a wary little mouse when she accepts the meals I give her. Ruby loves garden fresh vegetables and at the top of her list is okra.
Okra isn't difficult to grow. It suffers from being disliked by those unaccustomed to its ways, for its tendency to slime. But once you get to know okra, it's fantastic. The thing is, I'm not there yet. I like to grow it more than I like to eat it. Ruby likes to eat it, but can't grow it. As you can see, we were destined to come together.
Okra is pretty proud of being okra and stands tall. It doesn't leave a lot of debris along the soil line. Last year I tried to grow greens along with the okra. This year - thanks to Katina's little story about growing a peanut plant one year - I decided to follow suit. I've ordered my peanuts from Southern Exposure. It's the same place that sells a variety of cotton seeds. Last year I ordered both white and brown cotton and discovered that the cotton plant produces a beautiful and delicate flower.
It's no wonder that my garden has been referred to as a "little plantation" by some (you know who you are). I referred to a small section of my garden as "hippie hollow" last year when the patchouli was doing well and the sage and mint were robust. I'll never know if the hens appreciated their nestbox sachets I introduced to their boxes as much as I did. Maybe this year I can fluff up the boxes with cotton bolls but that seems a waste.
I have mixed feelings about growing cotton. It makes me feel oddly sheepish. I don't have the same feelings about the peanuts but they do make me think about Jimmy Carter. Growing peanuts makes me want to write to Jimmy Carter. But what would I say?
"Dear President Carter, I'm growing peanuts for the first time in my garden this year and I thought of you. Do you have any tips? My goal is just to get a ice-cream size bowl full of peanuts to snack on. How many seeds would you recommend growing?" I can't imagine that he would mind getting a letter requesting garden advice. I never know how to address letters to writers or public figures so I don't.
I see I've strayed. The point of this post (I flatter myself, my posts seldom have "points") is to tackle the question of what my garden is to me. It's partly a year-by-year experiment and partly a way to de-stress and lose myself. It's a way to feed my husband, a way to make something, a tomato for example, out of so little, a seed. It's a way to share. Gardens are always a reflection of those who tend them. Mine is a little messy. Mine sates my curiosity. It's a place to be quiet and work at something. It's not perfect. It's not a beautiful outdoor room for entertainting. Some days I wish it were but mostly not. It's a little bit southern right now. It's a little bit country. I now feel the urge to write to the Osmonds.

For eight years now, the Rev. Ellis Conley has pastored at the First United Methodist Church in Elkins. At the end of this month, however, he will be leaving the church to become part of the Bishops Leadership Cabinet.
Bishop Ernest S. Lyght, resident bishop of the West Virginia Conference of the United Methodist Church, selected Conley to serve as superintendent of the Mon Valley District centered in Fairmont.
According to Conley, in this new position, he will be a "pastor to pastors." He will oversee 72 pastors, two campus ministries and two mission projects.

"God has called us to this new ministry," Conley said, adding that he is eager to be able to guide a congregation of pastors.
Conley acknowledges that Elkins is a "great congregation to serve" with "good folks who have been kind." He sad he will "leave with a lot of sadness," but he knows his flock will be well cared for.
In addition to serving as pastor in Elkins, Conley is a member of the Elkins Rotary Club and served on the Randolph County Ambulance Authority board of directors and West Virginia Wesleyan College board of trustees. He helped to organize a concession stand at the end of the Mountain State Forest Festival Grand Feature Parade for marching bands. He organized missions to North Carolina and sent three teams to Northern Ireland.
He and his wife, Julie, also served the community as a teacher of art and photography at Buckhannon-Upshur High School.
Conley will continue to minister in Elkins until June 28. His position will be filled by the Rev. Barry Moll, who is ministering at Morris Memorial United Methodist Church in Charleston.

I spoke to Pope John coach Vic Paternostro on Tuesday night and the old war horse was feeling much better after his bout with the flu over the weekend.
Most of you heard that Paternostro came down with the flu on Friday night and had to grind to make it through the first half of his team's 34-8 victory over Mendham that secured his 362nd career victory. The win put Paternostro atop the state's all-time victories chart (below), one ahead of Brick's Warren Wolf.
Paternostro was taken to the hospital by ambulance at halftime after his team had jumped out to a 27-0 lead.
Paternostro, by the way, said he was tickled by Wolf's appearance at the High Point game, the win that drew the Pope John coach even with the retired Wolf. "It was such a classy thing to do," Paternostro said of Wolf. "He's a great man."
Paternostro, still recouperating at Morristown Memorial Hospital, said he expects to be on the sideline on Saturday when a very strong Delbarton squad comes calling in Sparta and said, "My doctor's kids go to Delbarton so he won't let me out of the hospital until Thursday."
Paternostro also enjoyed my warning that assistant coach Chris Kappelmeier was likely angling to make sure the Mendham win went under his ledger. Kappelmeier, remember, was the head coach at High Point for several years before spending time at Sparta as an assistant.
Whether or not Paternostro returns for a 43rd season next year is tied tightly to his health. The big guy has ailing hips that make getting around difficult, and he battles diabetes among other ailments. We root for his return to the sideline this weekend and through the playoffs for 8-0 Pope John.
And we hope the pasta connoisseur returns in 2010 healthier and growling as loud as ever.
(Through November 5, 2009)
1-Vic Paternostro, Pope John – 362-65-5
2-Warren Wolf, Brick – 361-122-11
3-Vin Ascolese,
4-Doug Wilkins,
5-Frank Bottone,
6-Pierce Frauenheim, Immacualta – 302-129-2

Bryan's not in a rush to cash in
Luke Bryan has taken an unusual approach to the business side of his career since winning the Academy of Country Music's entertainer of the year in April: He's turning down almost everything.
Rather than cashing in on his win and successful ACM co-hosting gig with Blake Shelton, country music's newest platinum-selling, arena-filling star has decided to leave sacks of money on the table, ignore television and double down on the live performances that have gotten him this far.
Even Bryan can't believe he's doing it, but his logic is pretty unassailable.
"It's my first year in," the 37-year-old Georgia native said. "I won entertainer of the year and I ain't really been an entertainer yet, or what the definition of that is. I had the same feelings when I was asked to co-host with Blake. I turned the ACMs down the first time."
Bryan's eventual change of heart paid off by helping him pull in the fan votes needed to win one of country music's biggest awards. It was one of the most surprising upsets in the history of the ACMs -- his competition included Shelton, Taylor Swift and Jason Aldean.
The award is usually given to established performers at the top of the genre. They're not only selling oodles of albums, but also headlining arena- and stadium-sized shows and representing country music in a positive way to the world -- and they've been doing it for years.
Bryan was just moving into that group. He reached platinum status with 2011's "Tailgates & Tanlines," and this week released "Crash My Party," expected to be the year's top-selling country album.
He's been greeted with sellouts at his first arena tour this summer. Turns out the fans who voted for him back in April decided it would be OK if the cart arrived at the same time as the horse.
Bryan wants to cement that place in country music.
"I'm getting really amazing TV opportunities where it's quite lucrative financially," Bryan said. "I can't believe I'm turning them down, but when I huddle up with my core group of people and think about it, it's neat to just handle the headlining right now. I don't think I'm savvy enough as a headliner to start taking it for granted."
Bryan became country music's next big male star last year when "Tailgates & Tanlines" was the No. 3 country album of the year behind Taylor Swift's "Red" and Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" -- despite being released in 2011.
He was the 10th overall selling artist regardless of genre, and has already taken a significant step to being country's top-selling artist in 2013 with the bonus album "Spring Break ... Here to Party," a spring release moving in on gold certification.
Like that album, life is generally coming a little easier, Bryan said. He's getting every opportunity a performer could ask for and he's reached all his goals long before he thought he would. So he's been re-examining how he'll approach the rest of his career.

Dean's Alumni Advisory Council Meeting - March 2013
Members of the Dean's Alumni Advisory Council (DAAC) met on March 22 for the 18th annual meeting. Alumni from across the nation and around the world met with the Dean, senior staff and faculty to discuss current issues facing the School.
This year, the meeting featured discussions on the upcoming Centennial celebration, an update on the School's $600 million dollar campaign to meet the ever increasing public health needs of the 21st century, an overview of the School's current enrollment and challenges sequestration will have on the research funding opportunities, and insights on the leadership role the School has taken on providing online public health courses.
One of the featured presentations was from Remy Serge Manzi Muhire, a current MPH student from Rwanda. He is the recipient of the DAAC Scholarship Award. Remy discussed how his studies have impacted his ability to see opportunities in a country where most only see challenges. He plans to return to Rwanda upon graduation and expressed his appreciation to the Council for their support of the scholarship fund.
As Dean Klag has mentioned on several occasions, " The science of public health has never been more powerful, and the Bloomberg School's leadership in the field has never been more demonstrable—yet the problems we face have never loomed so large."
Alumni from California, Oregon, Kentucky, Florida, Germany, Nepal and throughout the Baltimore/Washington DC/Philadelphia area attended. The School's alumni representatives of the Alumni Council, who serve as ex-officio members, joined the meeting as well. It was noted by several members how important it is to bring our alumni who serve in various leadership roles together.
Members of the DAAC are appointed by the Dean. The purpose of the Council is to provide advice, feedback, and support for the School's mission and strategic goals; and by doing so, strengthening relationships between the alumni and the school.

Matcha Milkshake
It's officially Spring! Though it doesn't always feel like it. Every morning this week has been perpetuated with light rain and cloudy skies.
To welcome Spring, I made matcha green tea milkshakes.
My matcha recipe collection has been seriously neglected lately. I haven't stopped loving matcha flavored foods. I still order and buy them whenever available. I just haven't been baking much with matcha, though I plan on rectifying that.
I thought about making a healthy green beverage, but knew DH would turn his head. So instead, I made matcha milkshakes. Not nearly as healthy, but they are delicious and at least there is some healthy matcha powder in there.
For those unfamiliar working with matcha powder, this is the brand I bake with.
It's a premium quality matcha powder, so each little canister costs about $10 at the Japanese markets. But the green color is much more vibrant and stays so even when I'm finished baking. The lower quality ones have a much duller green and baked goods end up turning a brownish green when finished. I even tried using the culinary quality one offered by this brand, but still no luck. The color was just not to my liking.
Matcha Milkshake
1 cup vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup fat free milk
1 tbsp high quality matcha powder
Blend everything in a blender on high speed until smooth. I set mine on the "smoothie" setting.
4 Responses to "Matcha Milkshake"
I totally had a hankering for one of these and it was on my "to make" list. I haven't gotten to it yet, but it's nice to see someone who enjoys a good matcha shake!
I make mine without ice cream, so it's not really a milkshake, lol. More like a frappe?
Are you sure you meant a Tablespoon of the Matcha in the recipe? I used a teaspoon of the same brand of matcha and it was plenty!

Boeing said it will not deliver any more units of its 787 Dreamliner until U.S. aviation authorities certify that the company has solved the battery problems that forced these aircraft to suspend operations worldwide.
Production of the 787 continues, a company spokesperson said Friday, while giving assurances that no 787 will be delivered until the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, acknowledges that its recent directive about the batteries has been complied with and that the approved solution has been implemented.
At the same time the U.S. aircraft manufacturer confirmed that it will continue producing the airliner but will not make any further deliveries until the FAA certifies that its problems have been resolved.
The 49 units of the 787 Dreamliner that Boeing has already delivered to airlines of the United States, Japan and Europe are grounded until the cause of the six technical problems found over the past two weeks is discovered.
The latest incident occurred Wednesday, when a 787 of the Japanese airline ANA had to make an emergency landing due to a lithium-ion battery fire. EFE

The Daughter Also Rises: Susan Cheever Writes a Novel That Makes Father John Proud
The plot parallels Susan's life, recounting the marriage and divorce of Salley Potter and Jason Gardens, a gifted editor. In 1967 Susan married Robert Cowley, Malcolm's son and now an editor at Random House, and divorced him eight years later. Nonetheless Cheever insists her book is not a roman à clef. "My family was worried," she admits. "I borrowed from my life like a bandit. But Salley is not me. She is a spinoff—calm, less complicated."
As a child growing up in New York City, Susan was unimpressed by her father's literary fame: "It seemed less attractive because I lived with it." When she was 8 the family moved into a small house on the Vanderlip estate in Scarborough, a New York suburb. Susan attended public and private schools, enduring a "miserable childhood reading and eating cookies." At the Masters School in Dobbs Ferry she was an overweight, angry wallflower: "All the girls were blond, blue-eyed and athletic. There was a dead zone around me at mixers."
Life improved at Pembroke College where Susan slimmed down and began dating. "I changed after one guy told me, 'You're too sloppy and sentimental.' " After graduation she taught at a private secondary school in Carbondale, Colo., for a year and a half until she returned to New York and moved in with Cowley, an editor at Horizon magazine. At 24, she married him and concentrated on being supportive. "I was marrying his potential," Susan laughs. "I wanted to be the inspiration for his book. I had always thought that with my energy and his brains and credentials, we could have the world."
Cowley never finished his book, however, and after Susan landed a reporting job on the Tarrytown Daily News, she discovered that she loved her work more than her husband. They broke up and, at 31, she took an apprentice writer's job at News week where she eventually became life-style editor. "I had been a dumpy housewife, then suddenly I was an executive woman. I loved it."
Four years ago Susan met New Yorker writer Calvin "Tad" Tomkins. He left his second wife for Susan and in the summer of 1978 she took a vacation from Newsweek and they went off to France to write their respective books. His Off the Wall is a biography of the artist Robert Rauschenberg, dedicated to Susan; Looking for Work is dedicated to TomKins. They lived in a rented summer house near Cannes. "My book took over," says Susan, who finished it in a breathless eight weeks. "I was depressed at first, then slowly I became happy. I went from being a journalist to being a novelist."
Resettled in a New York one-bedroom apartment, Susan is polishing her second novel while Tomkins, 54, is writing in Vermont. She jogs two miles a day, skis and plays tennis. Calvin often cooks because Susan is impatient with food ("I eat it before I can cook it") and is usually on some kind of diet.
Having become involved twice with men who have children from previous marriages (Cowley had two, Tomkins has three), Susan is mildly concerned about not having her own. "Part of me wants to; part of me doesn't," she says. "I hope it is revealed to me while I can still do something about it." She worries that if she had children her writing might suffer. "Working is like a husband to me," she figures. "It is a big part of my life. When I am not involved with my characters, I get antsy and hysterical."

By Connor Sardini,
Chatham High School FBLA President
On March 12, the Future Business Leaders of America Club of Chatham High School took a field trip into New York City to visit the New York Stock Exchange and the New York University Stern School of Business. The students were led by: John Ahsler, club advisor and business teacher; and Peter Steinmetz, business teacher.
When the students arrived at the Stock Exchange, they were greeted by their host Scott Lynch of Chatham who brought them up to one of the exchange's board rooms where the students had breakfast and heard about the history and purpose of the exchange. Following breakfast, the students were led to the floor of the exchange by Lynch where they witnessed the opening bell at 9:30 a.m. While on the floor, the students were able to interact with the traders who had a wealth of knowledge to share.
Following their visit to the exchange, the students headed over to NYU's Stern School of Business where they sat in on a corporate finance lecture by Professor Aswath Damodaran, also of Chatham. Once the lecture ended, the students were eager to learn from Professor Damodaran's wisdom and expertise as he sat down to answer questions and explain parts of his lecture. After the Q&A session with Professor Damodaran, the students headed back to Chatham.
The trip was a great experience for all involved, and it was a great opportunity for high school students to get out into the real world and learn from those currently working in the finance industry.

CMB's Bryce Kemp is a standout football, basketball and track athlete for the Raiders. Last season, as a sophomore, his track coaches threw a new hurdle at him - literally.
They wanted to see if the 6-5 speedster could excel in the 110-meter hurdles. Not only did he excel, he won a state championship. Kemp hopes to repeat next weekend at this year's state championship meet at Drake.

Jay Feely has kicked in the NFL -- and been kicked around -- for 13 seasons.
He's played for the Atlanta Falcons, the New York Giants, the Miami Dolphins, the New York Jets and, for the past four years, the Cardinals.
At every stop, in every stadium, he knew the score: There is no loyalty toward kickers. Head coaches will stick with struggling quarterbacks, cornerbacks and left tackles, but if a kicker has a bad week or two, there's someone lining up to replace him.
That's especially true when the kicker hasn't proven himself to his head coach. Feely kicked 92 field goals in his NFL career before this season, but he hadn't made one for Cardinals coach Bruce Arians.
So it was no surprise when Arians brought in free agent Dan Carpenter after Feely missed a 30-yard chip shot against Dallas in the preseason. Nor was anyone stunned when Arians said Feely had a "poor" performance in the season opener against St. Louis; Feely missed a 50-yard field-goal attempt and had two short kickoffs.
Feely wasn't Arians' guy.
But maybe he is now.
Feely kicked four field goals -- 47, 23, 43 and 33 yards -- in Arizona's 25-21 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday, and for once, Arians paid him a compliment.
"Jay always kicks well here. This was an outstanding game for him," Arians said.
The Cardinals needed Feely's leg to be true because they were miserable on third downs -- converting just 1 of 11 chances -- and scored just two touchdowns despite an average starting field position of their 36-yard line.
Early in the third quarter, Arizona took over at the Detroit 7-yard line after defensive end Calais Campbell recovered a botched handoff between Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford and running back Reggie Bush.
The Cardinals' response: four plays, 2 yards and Feely having to come on for the 23-yard chip shot that cut Detroit's lead to 14-13.
"You know how the game is going," Feely said. "All along, it almost had the atmosphere of a playoff game. How tense it was, how badly we needed that game. You knew that it was a tight game and was going to stay tight. You could feel that was the way it was going to go the whole game."
A proud man like Feely might have bristled at Arians' public criticism after the Cardinals' opener against the Rams. After all, Arians wasn't as harsh toward left tackle Levi Brown, who gave up three sacks, and it's not as if a 50-yarder is a gimme. Plus, Feely has served the Cardinals well the past three seasons.
But if Feely was angry, he hid his feelings well on Sunday. He said he and Arians didn't talk things out during the week because, "We didn't need to. I know I didn't play well. The facts are the facts."
"My performance was poor," he added. " ... When you lose a game that you could have helped, it hurts a lot and stays with you."
Early in his career, Feely's confidence might have been shaken by Arians' criticism. But after 13 years, five teams and 368 field-goal attempts, he's pretty much become immune to anything anyone says about him -- even the head coach.
"I don't care what people think about me. I really don't," he said. "I know I have to do my job. Him criticizing me isn't going to change the way I prepare or the way I believe in myself. I think that's the one thing experience gives you, the ability not to worry about that stuff."
There was nothing for Feely to worry about Sunday. In addition to nailing his four field goals, he had touchbacks on six of his seven kickoffs. He did everything he didn't do against the Rams.
Not that it will give him a lot of rope with Arians.
Miss a kick or two against New Orleans on Sunday, and he'll be right back in the coach's crosshairs.
That's his life. That's his job.
He's a kicker.

Lady Bracknell and the Lisbon Treaty
My late and much-missed Irish Times colleague Dick Walsh wrote a very useful and interesting book about Fianna Fail, entitled The Party. His father had been a founder-member and throughout his life Dick was fascinated by the Soldiers of Destiny. Over the years they developed characteristics that Dick found distasteful, yet they kept on getting elected again and again and again. As he points out in his book, the very people who had opposed the establishment of the Free State by force of arms went on to take over its institutions and remould them in their own image. FF has now been in power for 23 out of the past 30 years and their bottoms have only occasionally warmed the opposition benches over the past three-quarters of a century. (more…)

|The school adopts the Rigour and Relevance (R&R) Framework as the over-arching pedagogical approach to guide curriculum design, instruction and assessment. R&R is entrenched deeply on the six levels in Bloom's Taxonomy to establish rigour in curriculum design and lesson planning. It leverages on the Application Model, which advocates the use of authentic, real-world situations to make lessons relevant and meaningful to learners. R& R is adopted school wide, across all curricula, to enhance teachers' competencies in lesson planning and instructional delivery, both of which are integral to excite and engage students in learning.
In the quest for methodologies to present learning in meaningful ways, without increasing the workload of the staff. the 5-in-1 approach was adopted. This approach allows for the integration of programmes for better resource management and deployment. It reduces work load, promotes good coordination, synergistic collaboration between departments and owners of programmes.

text: 07/24/12: Al Jazeera reports Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda announced Tuesday that he will not allow the US military to fly its newest transport aircraft in his country until safety concerns are first addressed. Noda said no flights of the MV-22 Osprey aircraft would be allowed to take place until investigations into two recent crashes were completed. The crashes took place in April and June, and Japan says that it will not allow them to operate over its airspace and from its soil until the government is satisfied that safety checks have been completed. The Osprey is a hybrid aircraft with rotors that allow it to take off like a helicopter and engines that can tilt forward, enabling it to fly like an airplane at higher speed than helicopters.

at 35.10 2k shares. Would like to see it tank in the afternoon and into the after hours so i can buy back in. Right now i,m long on RVBD which should report good earnings and have a nice pop. Will be back to gobble some more shares of AKAM
Looks like your RVBD loss wiped out all your akAM gains. Too bad.
I was long RVBD and AKAM, I will not even chance holding RVBD, especially with it's earnings record, if they don't exceed earning, you will see a huge drop. AKAM is still one of the best plays out there, it will recover and continue to make advancements in this competitive arena. I'm using today's knee jerk reaction to good numbers as a share sale. looking forward to 40 again real soon.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

A young woman in the hardest-hit city of Tacloban sobbed as she recounted her experience during the storm, which included clinging to a roof rafter while holding her 11-month-old son on her head.
"All I hear [is] many cry, many people crying," she emotionally told CNN while her baby played contentedly on her lap. "Many people say, 'Help, help.' "
Her husband and many of her relatives did not survive the punishing storm, and she is clearly scared about the future.
"Now I don't know where we go. The most important is that we survive," she said while wiping away tears. "It's very dramatic. It's very hard."
Yet in the midst of the devastation, there are glimmers of hope – and new life.
On Monday, doctors safely delivered a new baby girl in a makeshift hospital. The entire hospital burst into applause after little Bea Joy made her debut.
"It was a perfect delivery in a very imperfect environment," a medical professional involved in the delivery told CNN.
"She is my miracle," mom Emily Ortega, 21, told Agence France-Presse. "I had thought I would die with her still inside me when high waves came and took us all away."

Deputies in Flagler County were investigating a suspicious death Friday afternoon.
Authorities said the body of a middle-aged man was found in the back yard of a home on Covington Lane in Palm Coast.
Investigators said they received a call from a neighbor who smelled an unusual odor coming from the property.
Investigators from the Flagler County Sheriff's Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement responded and were awaiting the arrival of a medical examiner.


text:
The group – Chaske Spencer, 34, Alex Meraz, 24, Kiowa Gordon, 19, and Bronson Pelletier, 23 – join Taylor Lautner, 17, as he returns as Jacob Black for the sequel, due out Nov. 20.
Because the characters belong to the Quileute tribe, based in La Push, Wash., the film's director, Chris Weitz, has insisted on authenticity. "They had to have papers that proved their heritage," Weitz, who hired actors with Native American or First Nation ancestry, tells USA Today. "And they had to be in good physical shape."
Not to mention possessing the ability to work half-naked in the chilly Vancouver, B.C., area, where the film has been shooting for several weeks. "They have all been good-natured," says Weitz. "They show up on location in drenching, cold rain, and I say, 'Okay, off with the robes.' "
Disrobing for a romp through the woods as Sam Uley, the pack's alpha male, is New York-based Spencer. His Native American heritage is Lakota Sioux. Meraz, from Mesa, Ariz., plays Paul – the most volatile wolf-shifter – and boasts a Purepecha heritage.
Fitzroy Barrett / Landov
So they have buff physiques, but what about becoming wolves for the film? The transformations are computer-generated – the beasts are the size of horses and race around on all fours – but one part of each wolf will be familiar.
"They all have the actor's eyes," Weitz says.

FAU High Student Honored for Volunteerism
BOCA RATON, FL (March 3, 2008) – Florida Atlantic University High School student Christina Zarrilli recently was named a distinguished finalist by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism.
Zarrilli, 16, of Boca Raton, is a junior at FAU High. She has devoted more than 4,000 volunteer hours to a broad variety of activities, including disaster relief, search and rescue, senior citizen aid, veteran and soldier support, and youth mentoring. Zarrilli also is a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol, U.S. Air Force Volunteer Auxiliary, and volunteers regularly at community events in Boca Raton, as well as delivers speeches to promote volunteerism.
"I believe it is important that each of us do our part to contribute to our country, society and the world's well-being," said Zarrilli. "Volunteerism allows me to put my idealism into daily practice. I hope that when young people experience the satisfaction of assisting those in need, that they will make service to their communities a lifetime commitment and encourage their friends and future children to do the same, thus making a positive significant impact on the world for generations to come."
Zarrilli is one of eight Florida students recognized, and will receive an engraved bronze medallion. She hopes to become a U.S. astronaut and work on a space mission for NASA.
All public and private middle level and high schools in the United States, as well as Girl Scout councils, county 4-H organizations, American Red Cross chapters, YMCAs and volunteer centers were eligible to select a student or member for the local Prudential Spirit of Community Award. The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards represents the United States' largest youth recognition program based solely on volunteer service.

I'd really recommend walking around in a forefoot gait for a long time before ever running that way.
I'd really recommend walking around in a forefoot gait for a long time before ever running that way.
I think the problem people have with them is that we are seeing articles and research about "barefoot running" so often now, that people want them to be running shoes. I have 3 pairs, and I do run in them, and have run up to 6 miles in them, but they were walking and general wearing shoes first. I wear them everywhere because they are so much more comfortable than any other shoe I've ever worn. You really have to let your feet get used to the concept of barefooting first by allowing all of the small muscles in your feet to strengthen slowly by learning to walk in VFFs comfortably for months before running. If you want to keep running, then keep your regular running shoes, but wear your VFFs for everything else. After 3, 4, 6 months (whenever your feet are so comfortable in them that you don't want to wear other shoes) start doing sprints on a soft surface in them. Sprints have you up on your toes automatically, so you're reinforcing the correct running position for barefoot shoes. Choose a park with grass, a school track, or another softer-than-sidewalk surface and just do a tabata sprint session (sprint 20 seconds, rest 10 seconds, repeat for 4 minutes, then die).
Once you've sprinted in them for a few weeks, then do short regular paced runs. You have to learn to run on your forefoot to midfoot in Vibrams, which is completely opposite from the heel strike regular running shoes nearly force you to use. Your feet, ankles, and calves will all be sore after just a mile (if that), so don't expect to do an actual "long run." Just run as long as you can stay up on your forefoot, and then walk. Your running times will eventually get longer.
This method really worked for me, and as of January this year I was no longer able to run in my NewBalance running shoes at all. I tried, just to see what it would feel like again, and my knees started hurting pretty badly (enough that I couldn't run for days) after only 2 times running 3-4 miles. My feet, knees, legs, and hips all feel great running in Vibrams now, and I'll never go back to running in traditional running shoes. It does take a long time to transition though (it took me over 6 months), so you just have to take it slow.
Walking around on your toes for blocks at a time really helps too, it's great practice for running up on your forefoot.

You are what you eat,and what you eat eats too - Michael Pollan
Thankfully, this CAN be undone. But growing your bones apart and strengthening muscles that have been atrophied and misshapen for decades.
Use your VFF's for leisure and gently build your endurance without rushing. Use them around the house, for short walks, and strolling and just work up use. Save your sneakers for hardcore running.
Exactly -- think of it as if you're going into physical therapy after coming out of a leg cast. Gotta take it easy and build up very slowly, err on the side of caution, etc.!
(I don't have my VFFs till Wednesday, but that's the analogy I always think of. My brother has had a lot of orthopedic surgery and had to learn to walk again from scratch to match his new build... this must be similar!)
Sounds like everyone is suffering from plantar fasciitis.
roll a frozen water bottle up and down the length of your arch with increasing weight on it while rolling. Also, place a towel on floor, sit in a chair, put bare (sore) foot at one end of towel and "roll/curl" the towel by grabbing and curling it under your toes.
Some basic stuff. PF hurts...
My VFF foot pain is more the tendons on the instep, particularly the 3-5 toes. I sprinted on pavement...not smart.
All I would say is you don't need the Vibrams to run...I would concentrate on slow, gentle BF runs and focus on your technique to see if that might help. Maybe the shoes aren't doing you any favours. Good running technique video here in case you haven't seen it: http://vimeo.com/12551218
I now have 3 pairs of Vibrams - KSOs, Sprints, and the newish Bikilas.
The KSOs I use in the forest, the Sprints I wear running around, and the bikilas I use on blacktop and concrete trail paths. They have a slightly thicker sole, and a much better fit in the heel area for this type of running (imo).
I've talked to a few barefoot runners around here and one of them broke their middle and 4th toes. He's also in the medical profession and said he was stupid for not working up his muscles in his Vibrams. According to him, there are muscles in your calf and in your foot that are now being 'used' when they weren't in shoes before. So they are underdeveloped and weak and that it takes a good deal of time to work up to it. Think like rehabing a muscle in a cast that wasn't being used much. It's atrophied, so it's going to take a while to build it up, even though the rest of your body is good to go. He also said that at the first sign of any pain, that you need to stop, walk the rest, ice and stretch. Massage also helps. I've followed this advice and my pains have been minimal thankfully. Another thing to think about is what surface you are running on. I only do sprints on a football or baseball field, my 'runs' on trails are jogs mainly, unless I use the trail in the forest. You might want to consider seeing a massage therapist as well - the work they can do on your calves, ITbands, and arches can really help - at least they have me. I'm at the point now where a foam roller and occasional massage either by myself or a therapist helps a ton.
Great post; I was curious about this as well...I did the Crossfit Endurance WOD a couple weeks back (run 5K) in my KSOs after only having run 1-mile increments in them...Felt good on the run until the trip back and when taking off my KSOs I had a HUGE blister on a couple of toes...My muscles weren't all that sore, but the running on pavement for the majority of the run didn't do me any favors for sure

UStudy aims to provide Educational Content for Polytechnic College students based on the latest K Scheme syllabus of Tamil Nadu.
Typical V-I characteristics of a triac are shown in figure. The triac has on and off state characteristics similar to SCR but now the char acteristic is applicable to both positive and negative voltages. This is expected because triac consists of two SCRs connected in parallel but opposite in directions.
MT2 is positive with respect to MTX in the first quadrant and it is negative in the third quad rant. As already said in previous blog posts, the gate triggering may occur in any of the following four modes.
Where VMT21 and VGl are the voltages of terminal MT2 and gate with respect to terminal MT1.
The device, when starts conduction permits a very heavy amount of current to flow through it. This large inrush of current must be restricted by employing external resist ance, otherwise the device may get damaged.
The gate is the control terminal of the device. By applying proper signal to the gate, the firing angle of the device can be controlled.
The circuits used in the gate for triggering the device are called the gate-triggering circuits. The gate-triggering circuits for the triac are almost same like those used for SCRs.
These triggering circuits usually generate trigger pulses for firing the device. The trigger pulse should be of sufficient magnitude and duration so that firing of the device is assured. Usually, a duration of 35 us is sufficient for sustaining the firing of the device.

A Guide to Buying a Home on a Golf Course
Making sense of golf and waterfront planned communities can be extremely difficult give the myriad options, amenities, and services. If you are thinking about relocating to one of these golf and waterfront communities, it is imperative to be able to distinguish one community from the next and more importantly, know what to look for before you buy.
Golf Course & Waterfront Living: Live, Play, Relax
With todays planned lifestyle communities, golf and boating enthusiasts have an opportunity to purchase the home of their dreams just a chip shot away from the green or stones throw from the marina. In addition to an ideal home setting, golf and waterfront community residents enjoy an active and diversified lifestyle experience complete with first-class golf courses, marinas, beaches, spas, clubhouses, recreation areas, fine dining and countless other amenities.
Out of the 10,000 master planned communities across the United States, over 2,500 are built around golf courses and waterfront property. Making sense of all the options can be mind-boggling. If you are thinking about relocating to one of these communities, it is imperative to be able to distinguish one community from the next and, more importantly, know what to look for before you buy.
Community Types
In the past, golf and waterfront master-planned communities catered to distinct segments of the housing market, namely middle- to upper-income empty-nesters and retirees. Things have changed. Today, such developments are designed to accommodate budgets of all levels and generally fall into one of two categories: multi-generational and age-restricted.
The construction of multi-generational communities represents a recent trend in planned community home-building. The underlying idea is to attract a diverse population of families, including retirees and young professionals, of varying income levels and backgrounds in order to establish a robust and vibrant community. After decades of building age-restricted communities, builders and developers have recognized that the traditional elements of planned community living, such as security, on-site amenities and low maintenance housing, appeal to home buyers of all ages.
Most new communities are multi-generational developments. Vistancia in the Sonoran desert outside of Peoria, Ariz., is a recently opened golf community attracting individuals and families of all ages. Since home sales began in March 2004, almost 500 families have moved into this scenic development, which features 1,700 total acres of open space and a 900-acre mountain preserve.
Conversely, age-restricted planned communities are developed for the over-55 home owner with amenities and facilities for todays empty-nester and retiree. Typically, the age restriction requires one household resident to be at least 55 in order to qualify for home ownership. Over the last decade, an evolution has occurred with the age-restricted community model of yesteryear making way for contemporary activity-based developments. These boast lavish amenities and world-class recreation areas, not to mention the conventional facilities required by the over-55 demographic.
The undisputed leader in age-restricted master-planned community development is Del Webb. Since the 1960s, Del Webb has constructed numerous such golf and waterfront communities across the U.S. Del Webbs Sun City developments are arguably the most recognizable line of age-restricted communities, stretching from coast to coast, with Sun City Hilton Head in North Carolina and Sun City Lincoln Hill in California.
The most important criterion in selecting a traditional home is location; the same is true when deciding on a golf and waterfront community. The old adage, location, location, location aside, one has to consider whether the new property will serve as a primary residence, second-home getaway or retirement abode. The final decision is generally based on three primary factors: home use, surrounding area and local weather.
For most of us working folks, our primary residence is located within an hour or so of a major metropolitan center. Dont fret, there are hundreds of golf and waterfront communities centrally located within driving distance of most major metropolitan areas. If by chance you live near Dallas, you have several options, including Stonebridge Ranch in north Dallas and Black Horse Ranch, which is only 25 minutes from downtown. Washington D.C. commuters are also in luck with conveniently located communities in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Belmont Country Club, a Toll Brothers property, is a mere 40 minutes from Washington D.C. in Ashburn, Va. These examples represent only a fraction of the actual number of suburban golf and waterfront developments.
The location decision is a bit more complicated and not as clear cut when one considers purchasing a second home retreat or retirement residence. In this situation, other factors come into play such as the activity and cultural richness of the immediate area and local weather. If you are looking for a second home, would you like to be nestled in the woods away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in a more suburban area or somewhere in between?
Climate is also a consideration when purchasing a home, particularly if you are feeling abused by recent harsh winters. This may clearly point to a direction that takes you out of your home state or even to another part of the country. Conversely, the summers never-ending heat may drive you to consider the cooler northern locales. Fortunately, there are 2,500 golf and waterfront communities spread out across the United States, from Minnesota to Texas and California to Massachusetts.
What is clear in the case of retirement homes is that good local health care and transportation facilities are a must. For most retirees, living over 60 miles away from the closest hospital or airport is just not an option. In the end, it comes down to striking a balance between modern necessities and the beauty of the outdoors.
Once you have settled on a location, the next area to focus on is amenities. These can vary greatly from one development to the next. Typically, these goodies fall into two categories: conveniences and lifestyle enhancements. Conveniences include such things as security services, home maintenance, gardening services, concierge service, on-site retail and office space, cable television and high-speed internet.
Lifestyle enhancements relate to recreation activities befitting an enhanced life of leisure. One can find a mix of facilities at planned communities, including tennis, hunting, boating, skiing, and hiking. To balance the rigors of recreation, planned communities provide residents with spas, clubhouses, wilderness preserves, pools, beaches and fine dining.
