The stars have aligned in an ominous sign, and as a legion of malevolent monsters descends upon New York City to wage war against humanity, the only thing that stands between humankind and certain destruction are four wisecracking turtles with a flair for martial arts and a hearty appetite for pizza. Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's "heroes in a half-shell" return to defend the world against an interstellar threat that comes just once every 3,000 years in a computer-animated action comedy that marked the final film role of Japanese screen legend Mako -- here providing the voice of the eternally wise Master Splinter. Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar lends her voice to the role of the turtles' technical-services worker, April; Fantastic Four's Chris Evans assumes the role of hockey-loving crimefighter Casey Jones; Memoirs of a Geisha star Zhang Ziyi steps in as villainous Foot Ninjas leader Karai; and Star Trek: The Next Generation captain Patrick Stewart voices malevolent tech industrialist Max Winters -- a mortal man whose hunger for profit and power may spell doom for all humanity.

Five things we learned from across the country this weekend:
Atlantic Coast
Diggs ready to trim his list
Wideout Stefon Diggs, who is No. 9 in the ESPNU 150 and the No. 1 wide receiver in the country, said he'll cut down his list of 15 schools to nine in the next couple of weeks.
"I've got a top 15," said Diggs, who plays at Olney (Md.) Our Lady of Good Counsel. "A lot of schools are going to fall off because they haven't shown much interest."
The nine will then become five, as the four-star prospect said he plans to take all of his official visits before making his final decision.
Alabama, Auburn, California, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Maryland, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Virginia Tech are all still in the running.
Diggs, 6-foot and 185 pounds, seemed to have his top nine already decided upon but he wasn't willing to share any info after the game.
"Can't leak that yet," he said with a smile.

Quarterback competition falls short
There were high hopes for the anticipated matchup between Countryside (Clearwater, Fla.) and East Lake (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) because it featured Miami commit Gray Crow and Class of 2013 rising prospect Pete DiNovo at quarterback. Unfortunately neither signal-caller stood out as DiNovo went 11-for-22 for 189 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions and Crow went 7-of-24 for 58 yards and two interceptions.
"It definitely isn't a game I'm going to be happy to look at on film," Crow said. "But I really thank my teammates for coming through for me and getting this win."
There were some promising things to come from Countryside's 27-21 victory, including the play of two sophomores -- Countryside defensive back Mike Johnson and East Lake wide receiver Artavis Scott. Johnson had two interceptions and returned one for a touchdown, while Scott hauled in an 80-yard touchdown pass to open the second half but dropped a 60-yarder with under three minutes remaining that would have given East Lake the lead.
For those Miami fans wondering, Crow remains a very solid commit and said he was impressed with the Hurricanes' effort last Monday night against Maryland.
"It was going to be tough without all those defensive starters," Crow said. "But I thought they showed a lot of explosiveness on offense and fought well. A lot of the defensive guys will be back for Ohio State and that will be a better gauge of how good they are."

Five-star Texas running back commit Johnathan Gray of defending Class 4A Division II Texas state champion Aledo set the Texas career touchdowns record with a four-touchdown night against Fab 50 team Lake Travis -- the defending Class 4A Division I Texas state champ -- on Friday.
Gray, however, didn't celebrate much, as Aledo took a 62-35 loss to Lake Travis. Gray, who now has 148 career scores, said his team must quickly regroup and readjust for the rest of the season if it wants to have a chance to repeat as a state champion.
"Everybody wants to talk about the record," Gray said, "but I just want to help my team get better. That's my focus."

DE Washington not only sacks, but he scores, too
In Taft's season opener, playing in front of a national audience, ESPNU 150 DE Adolphus Washington looked like the best player on the field.
That afternoon, Taft's offense could get little done and the Senators lost.
This past Friday, though, Washington made sure the Senators didn't lose, even though they lost their top offensive weapon, in four-star receiver Dwayne Stanford II, to a high ankle sprain.
With the score tied 20-20, Washington picked off a pass and ran it back 26 yards for a touchdown, which proved to be the game-winning score.
"It was a screen pass we watched on film," Taft coach Mike Martin said. "The guy looked at him, pumped it, then threw it right to him."
Washington ended any chance of a comeback minutes later when he sacked quarterback Tyler Marrs on third down. It was Washington's third sack in the fourth quarter alone.

Kimbrow out to prove a point
Four-star athlete Brian Kimbrow (Memphis, Tenn./East) is playing with a big chip on his shoulder this season. He's motivated by where he's ranked, or in his opinion, where he's not ranked, by all the recruiting services. It's Kimbrow's intention to prove the experts wrong about his current ranking.
So far, Kimbrow, a Vanderbilt commit, is making his case.
Kimbrow, 5-7 and 165 pounds, is a smaller version of Percy Harvin. He's electric with the ball in his hands. He was brilliant in East's 37-20 win over Memphis Wooddale, rushing for 357 yards and five touchdowns on 32 carries. That was his second 30-plus rush game of the season. In four games, Kimbrow has rushed for 1,033 yards and 15 scores, leading East to a 4-0 record. He's getting it done between the tackles and on the perimeter. It also helps Kimbrow that he's not playing both ways this season and is obviously fresher on offense.
• For the rest of what we learned about the Southeast, check out Jamie Newberg's blog
There are some great receivers in the West region this year, but Carson (Calif.) standout Darreus Rogers showed he should be mentioned among the best of the best Friday night. Rogers was an all-state selection as a junior and torched a very good Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei team a week ago.
On Friday, Rogers went up against a whole different level of athlete when the Colts took on Long Beach (Calif.) Poly, which features one of the best secondaries in the region. It didn't matter as Rogers abused the Jackrabbits' secondary to the tune of 10 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns in the first half alone.
"He's as good as any receiver I've ever coached against," longtime Jackrabbits DB coach Doc Moye said. "In 11 years as coach here, we've never once doubled a receiver, not once. Rogers killed us in the first half and at halftime, we decided we had to double him, he was just too good. I've seen all the top receivers in the state this year but Rogers is the best, he's an unbelievable talent."

Tennessee has done as much as it can in terms of damage control and now the emphasis has to shift to prevention. After all an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of flesh. That's why UT's refusal to reinstate James Banks as a student/athlete makes sense and sends a clear message that all the talent and remorse in the world does nothing to alter the acts of a serial transgressor.
That's not to say Banks can't eventually redeem himself at another school, and there will be plenty of programs willing to give him that chance, but he simply exhausted his chances at Tennessee.
That's truly a shame because Banks is probably as fine a natural athlete as the Vols have ever signed. He was good enough to play football, basketball and baseball in college, and he possesses the ability to play quarterback, defensive back or wide receiver on the gridiron. With some hard work and dedication he could be in line for NFL riches as a top-grade receiver or DB.
So there's plenty of incentive for Banks to turn things around and he comes from a very fine family that will give him all the support he needs to complete that process. Their willingness to pick up the tab at UT for his room, board and tuition underscores just how much they wanted him to succeed on the Hill.
The case of James Banks demonstrates that outstanding talent can be a two-edged sword. Success in football has always come easy for him. He didn't need to spend endless hours of strength training and practice to be special on the field. He started at quarterback from his first season at Ben Davis High School and led the Giants to three straight Class-6A championships.
He was also the team's punter and punt returner. As a senior, he took on duties in the secondary for the first time in his career and returned four interceptions for touchdowns while averaging over 50 yards per return. Once while in punt formation he retrieved a deep snap that went over his head and returned it 90 yards for a touchdown to lift the Giants to a playoff victory.
At Tennessee he nearly led the Vols to an upset victory over Georgia in his first college start at quarterback. He played wide receiver for the first time as a sophomore and was UT's leading receiver. His touchdown catch at the end of the first half against Florida was critical to the Vols victory in Gainesville and it showed just how capable he was in the clutch.
In a sports sense Banks was Superman without the cape, but nothing prepared him for life as Clark Kent. That came when knee surgery sidelined him during his junior campaign and forced him into an existence as a mere mortal. Perhaps his intentional submission of a tainted drug test was a cry for help.
Reggie Cobb and Onterrio Smith are a pair of former Vol running backs who survived three strikes at Tennessee to reach the NFL. Banks may be the next. The guess here is that most Big Orange fans will be pulling for him.

Photographer Erik Madigan Heck's striking, colorful interpretations of the latest fall-winter collections.
For the latest edition of Out of the Box, Erik Madigan Heck created a series of photographs titled "Without a Face," focusing on the back of the garments, erasing the face, and offering a different perspective on the standard fashion shoot.
"So much of what we see today is concerned with the face — with celebrity, with the politics of a person and their endorsement," Heck told the Cut. "I wanted to refocus our attention on the most basic elements of what I believe fashion and art are truly concerned with — color, form, texture, and seeing into a space beyond ourselves. For me, fashion is merely another mode to understand our relationship with beauty's transcendent qualities."
The fourteen images he created for the Cut are accompanied by a short film that showcases the relationship between the artist's own work and his personal connection to the history of painting. The film is directed by John Carlucci and was produced in association with B2Pro and Nomenus Quarterly.

Risk information for Alzheimer disease (AD) may be communicated through susceptibility gene disclosure, even though this is not currently in clinical use. The REVEAL Study is the first randomized clinical trial of risk assessment for AD with apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype and numerical risk estimate disclosure. We examined whether APOE genotype and numerical risk disclosure to asymptomatic individuals at high risk for AD alters health behaviors. One hundred sixty-two participants were randomized to either intervention (APOE disclosure) or control (no genotype disclosure) groups. Subjects in both groups received numerical lifetime risk estimates of future AD development based on sex and family history of AD. The intervention group received their APOE genotype. Subjects were informed that no proven preventive measures for AD existed and given an information sheet on preventative therapies under investigation. Participants who learned they were ε4 positive were significantly more likely than ε4 negative participants to report AD-specific health behavior change 1 year after disclosure (adjusted odds ratio: 2.73; 95% confidence interval: 1.14, 6.54; P = 0.02). Post hoc analyses revealed similar significant associations between numerical lifetime risk estimates and self-report of AD-specific health behavior change. Despite lack of preventive measures for AD, knowledge of APOE genotype, numerical lifetime risk, or both, influences health behavior.
Gene markers are rapidly being identified that can provide presymptomatic estimates of risk to individuals for the eventual development of complex late-onset diseases. Many recently discovered genes are not deterministic genes but rather susceptibility genes that provide probabilistic information about risk, and there is considerable controversy about the benefits of disclosing such information to those who seek it.
Alzheimer disease (AD) is a common progressive disease affecting cognition and behavior in which a susceptibility polymorphism [apolipoprotein E (APOE)] has been identified. First-degree family members and those carrying 1 or 2 copies of the APOE ε4 allele are at increased risk of developing AD.1,2 APOE genotyping is not currently recommended for clinical use as a predictive test given its limited predictive value and the lack of treatment options for AD,3 but ongoing research experience suggests that many asymptomatic family members of patients with AD are interested in genetic risk assessment.4–6
In surveys, 1 reason that family members commonly endorsed for genetic risk assessment was the hope that such information would help in seeking treatments to delay or prevent AD.6 This was intriguing because there are currently no accepted treatment modalities to delay or prevent AD. We hypothesized that participants receiving APOE ε4 positive (ε4+) disclosure would make more AD-related health behavior changes than those receiving APOE ε4 negative (ε4−) disclosure or those receiving risk assessment without genotype disclosure.
The Risk Evaluation and Education for Alzheimer's disease (REVEAL) Study is a multicenter randomized, controlled trial examining the impact of genetic susceptibility testing and disclosure on asymptomatic adult children of patients with AD. Details of the study rationale, design, and other results have been published elsewhere.6–11 Eligible participants had only 1 living or deceased affected parent who developed AD after the age of 60. The diagnosis of AD in the affected parent was determined by obtaining written documentation from medical records or a letter from the diagnosing physician. In the minority of cases where written documentation was unavailable, the diagnosis of AD was determined using a detailed interview with the participant regarding the parent's history. Individuals were excluded if they exhibited clinically significant cognitive impairment, depression, and anxiety.
Two hundred eighty-nine individuals were initially eligible for the study, dropping to 162 by the randomization phase (Fig. 1). At each phase before randomization (education session, blood draw to test for genotype status, neuropsychologic and psychiatric screening), participants were allowed to drop out if they did not want to receive clinical information offered in that phase. Before randomization, participants attended an education session where they were informed about the difference between deterministic and susceptibility genetic testing. The session emphasized that although the APOE ε4 allele is an important risk factor for AD, it is neither necessary nor sufficient to cause the disease. Participants were also told that there are no proven preventive measures for AD; they received a handout outlining therapies under investigation but not currently recommended for their protective effects against AD such as vitamin E, anti-inflammatory medications, hormone replacement therapies, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and mental stimulation. Participants who proceeded to randomization did not differ significantly from those who declined participation earlier in the protocol with regard to age, sex, race, income, or number of affected relatives; details of this analysis have been published elsewhere.5,6
A blocking technique was used to generate the random allocation sequence, and the allocation was concealed from the investigators, and the participants until interventions were assigned. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the intervention and control arms of the study, respectively, to have sufficient power to examine response to risk assessment by APOE genotype (ie, ε4+ vs. ε4−). Subjects who were randomized to the control arm received an individualized numerical risk assessment on the basis of family history and sex alone. Subjects in the intervention arm received APOE genotype disclosure and an individualized numerical risk assessment on the basis of family history, sex, and APOE genotype. In both arms, risk estimates were illustrated to participants with cumulative risk curves constructed from epidemiologic data, details of which are described in a separate paper.8 Control participants were given lifetime risk estimates through age 85 ranging between 18% and 29%, whereas intervention participants received estimates between 13% and 57%.
One year after disclosure, participants were asked 3 questions related to health behavior changes made specifically for the purpose of AD prevention. These questions focused on: (1) changes in diet, (2) changes in exercise, or (3) changes in medications and/or vitamins (participants were also allowed to describe these changes in an open-ended format). The primary outcome variable for this analysis was a composite variable gauging whether or not participants answered at least one of these questions affirmatively.
Rather than comparing controls with the disclosure group as a whole, logistic regression analyses using SAS 8.2 were used to test the preplanned dual hypotheses that participants who learned that they were ε4+ were more likely to make changes in AD-specific health behaviors than participants who learned that they were ε4− and than controls. Covariates included demographic data (age, sex, and education) and a composite comorbidity variable that was considered positive if the participant had a history of diabetes mellitus, heart disease, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, thyroid disease, cancer, or osteoporosis (all conditions where behavioral modifications have potentially preventive effects). Post hoc analyses included a term for the numerical lifetime risk estimate that was also given to each participant as part of the disclosure protocol.
One hundred sixty-two participants were randomized. Fifteen participants dropped out over the 1-year follow-up period, yielding an analysis of 147 individuals (Fig. 1). Table 1 shows demographic characteristics of the participants contributing to this analysis. The ε4+ participants were more likely to be female than the ε4− participants (P = 0.02), and slightly younger than the controls (P = 0.01).
Table 2 shows unadjusted data on the frequency of health behavior changes specific to AD prevention. At 12 months, ε4+ participants were significantly more likely than both ε4− participants (52% vs. 24%, P = 0.003) and control participants (52% vs. 30%, P = 0.03) to endorse any AD-specific health behavior change. Of the 3 health behaviors surveyed, ε4+ participants most commonly endorsed changing their medications or vitamins for the purpose of preventing AD. An analysis of open-ended responses to this questionnaire item indicated that adding vitamin E was the most common change in this area.
After adjustment for age, sex, education, and comorbidities, ε4+ participants had 2.73 times the odds of endorsing AD-specific health behavior change compared with ε4− participants (95% confidence interval CI: 1.14, 6.54; P = 0.02; Table 3). ε4+ participants showed a trend toward increased endorsement of behavior change compared with controls in the regression model (adjusted odds ratio: 1.5; 95% CI: 0.94, 2.37). Because 26 participants had another family member in the study, we ran a logistic regression model including only 1 unique family member, picked randomly, adjusted for the covariates listed above. We also ran an ordinal logistic regression model to take into account the 14 participants who endorsed 2 or 3 of the AD-specific health behavior changes. In both of these models, APOE ε4+ participants remained significantly more likely to endorse behavior change compared with APOE ε4− participants.
In addition to APOE disclosure, participants in the intervention arm received a numerical risk estimate. To assess whether the provision of a numerical lifetime risk estimate of AD development confounded the association between APOE genotype knowledge and endorsement of behavior change,9,12 we conducted a post hoc logistic regression analysis using the numerical lifetime risk estimate in place of APOE genotype. For each 1% of increase in lifetime risk, there was a 5% increased odds that participants endorsed AD-specific behavior changes (adjusted odds ratio: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.09, P < 0.005). However, in a logistic regression model including both APOE genotype status and lifetime risk estimate, neither variable was an independent predictor of AD-specific health behavior change, suggesting collinearity between these 2 measures. We confirmed collinearity using tolerance statistics. Furthermore, the fit of models with APOE genotype only, lifetime risk estimate only, and both variables was equivalent as indicated by Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) statistics (ROC = 0.729 for model with APOE genotype; ROC = 0.728 for model with lifetime risk estimate; and ROC = 0.727 for model with both variables).
In this study, persons who learned they were ε4+ were significantly more likely to report the adoption of AD-specific health behavior changes 1 year after disclosure in comparison with ε4− participants. It is interesting to note that participants endorsed health behavior changes after explicitly being informed that none were proven to prevent AD. Our findings add to the growing literature on genetic risk and behavior change.12 Although these results seem counterintuitive, one possible explanation is the persistence of lay press information that some dietary measures, leisure time activities, vitamins, and medications may decrease AD risk. Our results are consistent with other REVEAL results, suggesting that genotype and AD risk disclosure influence behavioral changes. In a study of insurance changes endorsed 1 year after risk disclosure, APOE ε4+ participants were 5.76 times more likely to have changed long-term insurance than APOE ε4− participants.11 Further research is required to help understand why people may be more motivated to engage in putative preventive behaviors for AD versus other disease contexts where provision of genetic risk information has had seemingly little impact on behavior change (eg, screening behavior after genetic risk assessment for breast cancer).
Our study was limited by the fact that the health behavior questions were nonspecific, and that we measured responses to questions about health behavior changes, rather than directly measuring the changes themselves. The study design also did not allow us to fully disentangle the effects of genetic information from more general lifetime risk information. The REVEAL Study participants were predominantly female, white, and college-educated; therefore, the results may not be generalizable to all populations who might qualify for APOE genotype testing in the future. However, study participants may reflect the population of high-risk individuals who would voluntarily seek APOE genotype information.
Our results suggest that people who learn they are at high risk for AD are motivated to engage in behaviors to reduce risk, even if the effectiveness of activities is uncertain. When preventative treatments for AD are developed, studies such as REVEAL may provide insights into how risk disclosure may be more effectively presented to motivate adherence to these treatments.

Prepare your registration as a IUCLID dossier
After the discussions and exchange of data within the SIEF, the lead registrant and each member should have all the relevant information available to create their registration dossiers. The registration dossier is created using the IUCLID software which is available for free on ECHA's website.
1. If you are a lead registrant
A lead IUCLID registration dossier includes the information that co-registrants must submit jointly, such as the classification and labelling of the substance and (robust) study summaries, if applicable. Within the lead registration dossier, you also submit your own registration information.
It is good practice for lead registrants to provide draft basic datasets in IUCLID for members.
As a lead registrant you are strongly advised to prepare your registration dossier well before the deadline, so that your co-registrants have enough time to meet the deadline as well.
2. If you are a member registrant
Your IUCLID dossier includes information specific to your company and your substance. This includes, for example, information about substance identity (composition, analytical data), your identified uses and your production volumes. Your IUCLID dossier does not need to include the information already provided by the lead registrant on your behalf.
Publishing information from dossiers and confidentiality claims
ECHA publishes certain information included in the registrations dossiers in the registered substances database on its website. In IUCLID you can flag certain data to be kept confidential and check what information will be made publicly available.
IUCLID plug-ins
ECHA has developed supporting IT tools to assist you in the process:
- The Validation Assistant plug-in will show if your registration dossier is complete;
- The Dossier Quality Assistant (included in the Validation Assistant plug-in) will help detect potential inconsistencies in your registration dossier;
- The Fee calculation plug-in will display the expected registration fee and any fees related to confidentiality claims; and
- The Dissemination plug-in will show which parts of the registration will be made publicly available on ECHA's website.

We should be receiving a 4Q12 update sometime in the next several days based on the timing of last year's release. Would be interested to hear the group's feedback on the update (assuming people are still paying attention). Kind of surprising to see a bid today for 340,000 shares at $17.00.
Finally they started doing the p & c business, I am thinking about scooping up some shares, only problem is they lost money on the p & c last quarter.......it's still a gamble in or RAMR.

As of 2015, the warming effect of long-lived greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere had increased by approximately 37% compared to 1990.
Each of the last three decades was warmer than all earlier decades in the instrumental record, and each set a new and statistically significant record, culminating in the 2000s, which was the warmest decade of all.
Global climate models project that near the end of the 21st century, average surface temperature over most of Earth's surface will be several degrees warmer than today, mainly due to rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Despite efforts to reduce emissions of a HFC-23, a potent greenhouse gas, research shows that concentrations of the compound have increased in recent years.
Carbon dioxide is everywhere: in the air, rising from cracks in the ocean floor, and in your soda can. Now it's showing up in the news! Find out why carbon dioxide is such a hot topic, and why it's going to be around for a long, long time.
Human activities, mainly burning fossil fuels, are increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, amplifying the natural greenhouse effect.
NOAA's Susan Solomon was awarded the 2009 Volvo Environment Prize for her pioneering contributions in atmospheric chemistry and physics.
This short cartoon video uses a simple baseball analogy (steroid use increases probability of hitting home runs) to explain how small increases in greenhouse gases can cause global temperature changes and increase the probability of extreme weather events.
This lesson explores the chemistry of some of the gases that affect Earth's climate. It is the 3rd in a series of 9 lessons from an online module entitled 'Visualizing and Understanding the Science of Climate Change'.
In this short video, atmospheric scientist Scott Denning gives a candid and entertaining explanation of how greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere warm our planet.

Blogger Richard Fernandez observes:
The crime wave in Chicago illustrates how politicians trapped themselves in a vise of conflicting expectations from which there is no escape. It has proved impossible to do something and its opposite simultaneously, in this case withdraw the police and protect the community. It may prove just as impossible to require transgender bathrooms and guarantee no sexual harassment takes place or open the borders while promising there will be no terror attacks. When one thinks of it, making health care "affordable" while opening it to high-risk groups was always an unlikely proposition.
Impossible, yet Big Tent constituencies are routinely green-lighted on both ends of a one-way street and told to floor the pedal. For a while they could spin it with smoke and mirrors. But in the end, illusion does not last.
The security system of America is trust, which manifests itself in legitimacy which in turn makes it possible to govern a huge nation largely on consent. The mistake was to believe it was possible to play the identity card endlessly, to set one against another, to destroy trust -- without consequences.
The public is suddenly face to face with the realization that the solid status quo is a fragile facade that might at any moment dissolve into something unrecognizable. It's a veneer masking a crumbling structure. Donald and Hillary are not freaks. They are monsters from our Id.
Don't worry, Likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Friday said white people have to start listening to "legitimate cries" coming from the black community, pointing out that she has said repeatedly on the campaign trail there needs to be more "love and kindness."
"I will call for white people like myself to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American families who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have the talk about how to really protect themselves when they're the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with the police," Mrs. Clinton said in an interview on CNN.
"I'm going to be talking to white people. I think we're the ones who have to start listening to the legitimate cries that are coming from our African-American fellow citizens," she said.
In other words, we're all racists!
The State Department is disputing a report that Iran has sought to obtain nuclear technology since signing a deal aimed at curbing its nuclear program last summer.
Germany's domestic intelligence agency reported this week that the Islamic Republic has been trying to acquire illegal nuclear technology at a "high level" throughout 2015.
State Department spokesman John Kirby rejected those findings Friday.
"We have no information to indicate that Iran has procured any materials in violation of the JCPOA," Kirby told reporters, using an acronym for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or nuclear agreement. "Germany … is not suggesting that Iran has violated its JCPOA commitments."
Kirby claimed that the document did not mention whether Iran's attempts to obtain nuclear technology occurred after the nuclear deal, despite reporting to the contrary. The deal was struck in July 2015 and took effect in October.
He also said that the report spoke "mainly" of Iran's missile program.
"It covers all of 2015 and makes no distinction about whether the reported activities occurred prior to the JCPOA coming into effect," he said.
While the report does describe Iran's growing missile program, it also underscores the program's nuclear potential, stating that the missiles could possibly "serve to deliver nuclear weapons." Iran is encouraged not to launch ballistic missiles under a U.N. Security Council resolution, but has done so anyway.
Kirby would not say whether the German report showed that Iran was violating the "spirit" of the JCPOA.

British Unions Call For Prompt Green Light On Hinkley Point
Four powerful labor unions in Britain are calling the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant construction project the first major "litmus test" for the country in the wake of its landmark vote last week for the country to quit its membership in the European Union.
Hinkley Point CThe GMB, Unite, Ucatt and Prospect unions have written to EDF Energy Chief Executive Officer Vincent de Rivaz, calling the upcoming decision on financing for the $24 billion project "vital" to Britain's energy needs that would, if the project is given the green light, send a signal that the so-called Brexit vote would not derail the country's economy.
"Nuclear new build is already behind the curve. We cannot afford further delay and it is vital for EDF to make a final investment decision now," the unions wrote.
The unions stressed that Britain needs the new generation capacity, which is currently on a waning path with the scheduled closures of older coal burning plants and the aging of its nuclear power fleet.
The Energy Voice reported last week that an EDF spokeswoman had stated after the Brexit vote that the utility giant remained committed to the Hinkley Point project. EDF CEO Jean-Bernard Levy also remarked to reporters that the Brexit vote would not affect the company's decision on whether or not to green light the project.
This looks like a revolt against the tree-huggers who irrationally oppose nukes. Good.
COLUMBIA, SC Reports of drones over the Savannah River Site nuclear weapons complex are drawing scrutiny from the federal government.
Agents with the FBI interviewed a prominent nuclear watchdog this week about drones at the site. Meanwhile, the SRS "protective force" has confirmed several sightings of drones in June over the complex near Aiken, the U.S. Department of Energy said Thursday afternoon.
Cool drone footage of a tunnel construction site feels like Star Wars 4:18
"SRS takes these reports very seriously and is coordinating with appropriate federal, state, and local authorities,'' an Energy Department statement said.
Agency spokesman Monte Volk said he did not know who was flying the drones over SRS or why they were being brought into the site's air space. He declined further comment.
Drones, remotely controlled flying machines, are used increasingly across the country for business and recreational purposes. But they also are a security concern in the face of the war on terrorism. The Savannah River Site, a 310-square-mile complex, is filled with nuclear materials and nuclear waste. The site is heavily guarded.
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued an advisory warning pilots to avoid airspace above nuclear power plants, military sites and similar areas. The FAA also recently introduced a series of rules for drones addressing how high they can fly. The rules say drones should be flown no more than 400 feet above ground or within 400 feet of a building.

Caborn backing England Women
Sports Minister Richard Caborn passed on his best wishes to the England team ahead of the Women's World Cup when they attended a reception at the House of Commons on Monday evening.
The ECB teamed up with the Women's Sports Foundation to officially launch the start of the England team's campaign as they prepare to fly out to South Africa for the tournament, which begins on March 22.
The event also recognised the huge strides that have been made within women's cricket in England over recent years, with record numbers of girls now taking up the sport.
Caborn believes victory at the World Cup, which would be celebrated with a reception at Downing Street, would be just reward for the vast improvements made in women's cricket and he is hoping Clare Connor's side can replace Australia as the top-ranked team in the world.
He told ecb.co.uk: "The World Cup will be a fantastic inspiration and there's no doubt that the ECB, along with the English Institute of Sport, have been investing very heavily and the Academy in Loughborough has been a tremendous boost for the women's cricket team.
"I think that, linked with the EIS, gives them a real chance of coming back with the first prize. Yes, they are ranked second in the world, but I'm pretty sure now with the preparations they've gone through that they could well beat the Australians and come back with the silverware."
With the Ashes series to follow in the summer, it is a huge year for women's cricket in England and Caborn acknowledged the progress already made.
"What now is very pleasing is the number of young people that are both coming into sport and cricket," he added. "There has been an increase of 60 per cent over the last few years of young women and girls playing cricket.
"There's no doubt there has been a renaissance in cricket across the board, with more young people now under coaching in cricket than we've had for many, many years. That's really pleasing because I think that will then feed through into the women's team and the England team led by Michael Vaughan."
For the players, the reception provided them with a chance to pay their thanks to the support network of coaches and sponsors which is now in place to continually raise standards in the game.
Connor has led England's revival since the last World Cup, and said: "It is an honour to captain this fantastic group of players. I really can't speak highly enough of them, their attitude, spirit and work ethic make my role very simple.
"But the journey extends beyond the players and I want to take this opportunity to offer some sincere thank-yous on behalf of the World Cup squad.
"To everyone at the England & Wales Cricket Board who have worked tirelessly to raise standards in our sport. The women's game is in the shape of its life in this country and thanks in particular to the director of women's cricket, Gill McConway, and our head coach Richard Bates, who have continued to pioneer the changes for that to be the case.
"Thanks also to everyone who has ever bought a lottery ticket and to Sport England. Our consistent levels of funding over the last few years have enabled us to work and train in equal measures so that we are physically, technically and mentally ready.
"To the English Institute of Sport whose strength and conditioning coaches, co-ordinated by Sam Bradley, have committed high levels of support to ensure we are in the best physical shape as we embark on a demanding World Cup schedule.
"To all our regional coaches, our one-to-one coaches, our Academy directors and the specialists who have worked with us at our training camps. Their expertise and belief in us has made a huge difference.
"To our team sponsor Vodafone; we would not be an England team capable of taking on any country in the world had it not been for their ongoing financial input into the game in this country. Thanks also to NatWest and npower, who have recently come on board to sponsor our home international series.
"We are achieving a level of equity in cricket which previous generations of female cricketers could only have dreamt of and the support of our sponsors is invaluable to that.
"I can assure you that we've left no stone unturned in our preparations for this World Cup. The girls intend to prove that to everybody as we embark on this final but most exciting leg of the journey."

Ron Vinder grew wary of stock-picking almost as soon as he landed on Wall Street. It was 1988, and Vinder was hitting the phones 12 hours a day for Lehman Brothers, pushing the firm's favorite stocks. The long days earned him decent commissions but also the knowledge that clients weren't making much money.
Twenty-four years later, Vinder, now a leading financial advisor at UBS Financial Services, eschews individual stocks almost entirely. Instead, he relies on exchange-traded funds, using them to carry out carefully tailored asset allocations. "The more asset classes that you introduce into a portfolio, the less risk and the better the return you'll have over a long period of time," Vinder says with a quiet confidence.
Named to Barron's annual list of Top 100 Advisors in 2011, Vinder ranks 77th in this year's tally, with assets under management totaling $2.9 billion and a median account value of $25 million.
The Idea: "The more asset classes you introduce into a portfolio, the less risk and the better the return." Brad Trent for Barron's
He explains his strategy to prospective clients right away, and his 110 clients have learned that he won't be calling with stock picks, or even to change allocations. "My whole investment philosophy is coming up with the right strategy and sticking to it," he says.
The approach can at times make clients antsy: Sitting back passively in the markets goes against human instinct. But as Vinder knows well, human instinct isn't always right. "Whenever an asset class does well, that's when individuals want to buy more," he points out. "And they want to sell what's doing poorly."
It's that kind of bad timing, coupled with high management fees and inefficient tax planning, that prevents most investors from even matching the returns of the S&P 500, he says.
Vinder builds portfolios in the same way that Moneyball hero Billy Beane crafted the overachieving Oakland Athletics: unbound by emotion or conventional wisdom, and armed with decades of historical data. Vinder determines a client's income needs and then uses his data to determine the asset combination with the highest return and lowest possible risk. The result is the "efficient frontier."
Once a year, Vinder's six-member New York-based team rebalances clients' portfolios, shedding some of the best-performing assets and buying more of the underachievers. "It kind of forces you to buy low and sell high, which is what everyone strives to do but doesn't," he says.
VINDER, 45, ARRIVED AT UBS in 2009, after four years at Merrill Lynch and 10 at Morgan Stanley. Today, he sits on the 23rd floor of IBM's former headquarters on Madison Avenue. From his corner office, the advisor has a bird's-eye view of midtown Manhattan and one of its busiest crossroads.
A few days before we visited Vinder at his office, the advisor had met a new client with approximately $30 million in assets. He built the 53-year-old a model that's 40% equities, 55% fixed income and 5% cash. That's the efficient frontier for this client; the average allocation across his client base comes to 50% equities, 43% fixed-income; 5% managed futures, and 2% cash.
The new client's stocks are split into small-, mid-, and large-caps, and further divided into growth and value categories—all through ETFs. In total, the portfolio uses 25 ETFs. Vinder looks for ETFs with the lowest possible fees, which means one less obstacle in matching the index's return.

There are no hedge funds in the mix and not much in the way of alternatives; he keeps up to 5% in managed futures accounts.
History bodes well for the approach. The average return from a diversified set of ETFs designed to track the markets returned 72% from 2002 through 2011, Vinder says. And that, of course, was a notably flat period for stock prices. Maybe the Lost Decade wasn't so hard to find after all.

They have been around since the 1990s and they are still going strong with their recently released Mandarin album, Music Walker, confirming just how current and relevant they are. The enduring star power of Grasshopper is amazing—and it is not just Cantopop fans who love them.
Formed in 1982, the trio continues to appeal to music fans, young and old, with their music and onstage persona. Equally fascinating is their rags-to-riches story: Calvin and Remus are brothers who grew up with their neighbour, Edmond in a poor part of Hong Kong. Lady luck smiled on them in 1985 when they auditioned in the Hong Kong Talent Singing Awards. Anita Mui happened to be one of the judges, and she chatted at length with them when a blackout took place during the audition.
Come be mesmerised by Tsai Chin, Taiwan's popular pop and folk singer from Taiwan who sings mainly Mandarin and Hokkien songs, and is best known for her lovely rich and emotive vocals. Adding to her popularity is her brilliant stage persona: she comes across as a highly affable and witty person.
Tsai Chin was very popular in Taiwan from the late 70s to the mid-90s, and remains just as famous in mainland China. She continues to have a huge following of fans. Some of her songs are perennial favourites that people have become familiar with, and these include The Forgotten Time, Just Like Your Tenderness, and The Last Night.
Her achievements and popularity are reflected from her album sales. At the 2007 IFPI Hong Kong Album Sales Awards, her albums, Tsai Chin Live 2007 and Golden Voice won the award of Top 10-selling Mandarin Albums of the Year.
Held on 28-30 October 2016, just 4 weeks after the Malaysia F1 Grand Prix, the two biggest international motorsports events make for a high adrenaline October in Malaysia.
Revered as one of the premier male vocalists in contemporary music, Peabo Bryson's many successes include the No.1 hit, Can You Stop the Rain, the Top 10 number, Treat Her Like a Lady, and his duet with Celine Dion, Beauty and the Beast. Bryson marked his professional debut at the age of 14, singing backup for Al Freeman and the Upsetters. For several years, he worked with hometown bands, and wrote and produced for Bang. In 1976, he finally tasted big-time success when he released his debut album, Peabo that featured many songs composed by him.
Frances Yip, Elisa Chan and Maria Cordero have been household names since the 80s and they continue to be popular figures in the entertainment world. Frances is widely recognised as a Hong Kong Cantopop singer but is highly versatile. She stamped her mark with her many television series theme songs from TVB back in the 80s and early 90s, but has over the years released more than 80 albums in various languages. She is able to sing in English, Indonesian, Thai, Bahasa Malaysia, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin, among others. Elisa has been a big name in Hong Kong since the 80s. Her illustrious singing career that began at 16 when she joined New Topnotes, a Cantonese-language band, culminated in the 80s when as a solo artist she performed many duets with the popular Leslie Cheung. Maria Cordero, for her part, can always hold her own as a singer, actress, TV host and deejay. She currently has a TV show called Maria's Kitchen. Hailing from Macau, Maria earned the nickname "Fat Mama"—a term of endearment from her fans that she has long since embraced. After a string of hits in the 80s, her vocal prowess led to many offers of recording contracts, movie roles and stage performances. Director and song writer Teddy Robin began writing songs for her such as the hit "Sai Hei."

Hi all. I am building a Drag car, and am considering fuel types. I will be running a carbied 308 Holden small block V8, and am wondering if using methanol or another type of alcohol based fuel is more advantageous than say Avgas or Pump fuel. The motor is stock stroke, about 10-5:1 comp, has some large head work done and a good cam (stage 4 I'm told). Also using a Torquer Manifold. As yet, I dont have a carbie in mind, but am thinking about a Holley 750 DP. I am aware that in meth applications, I will need oversized jets, due to using more fuel in comparison to peterol.
What do I need to consider when using this fuel?
What are the pros v cons for alcohol fuels?
Do I need anything special to set it up on my car?
Can NOS be used with this fuel?
When money allows, I will consider changing cams, and upping the comp ratio, as well as getting a better manifold (Victor Junior maybe?) and forged pistons.
Any other info would be much appreciated. Speed and power is what I am aiming at.
This is a TRACK ONLY car, therfore road/street legalities dont need to be considered.
