Lots of awesome information there, I can't wait to try the game out!
wow, this game actually looks amazing and somewhat innovative. nice on all the stats recorded and all the boost-opps.
Everything in this signature except for this text was made by Wiired, he is my creator and almighty.
I'm soo freakin happy right now with the addition of 2 player online. If only Brawl could have that...
Know its asking alot, but can someone rehost the images for me? My college blocks IGN and I can't find them anywhere else...

Two player online sounds great. Battle mode online is also something worth paying for :P.

I can't wait and it looks like snaking is out, you can still powerslide in corners, but the traditional snaking method is not an option.
Mario Kart Wii changes things around a bit by not requiring players to rapidly steer in the opposite direction of a powerslide to generate the boost power. Instead, the boost power builds automatically during a successful powerslide, and the longer you hold it the more boost you'll get out of it. As soon as you let go of the powerslide trigger (the button on the back of the steering wheel controller) your kart will jolt forward with a surge of energy. No more waggling the stick/control pad back and forth to generate boosts this time around. Whether that's good or bad, it was a little hard to tell in the short spin around a few of the game's courses.
Of course, the question of "snaking" came up, whether multiplayer games are going to boil down to what's happened with Mario Kart DS: players simply powerdrifting on every possible straightaway as rapidly as possible. Well, with the new powersliding mechanic it makes it difficult for quick fingers to get more boosts than the racers with slower fingers. So perhaps this is Nintendo's way of combating the awkward "love it/hate it" snaking mechanic.
Ignorance is as ignorance does...

Google Releases Complete Factory Image for Galaxy Nexus (HSPA+)
If you're still looking for more reasons to buy a Nexus device, specifically the Galaxy Nexus, consider this another reason. Nexus devices are considered dream phones for hackers because of how open Google is with everything concerning them. In keeping with tradition Google has uploaded the complete factory image of the HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus.
What does that mean? The factory image includes such things as the bootloader, which is like gold to a ROM maker. This is important to you because 1) if you brick your GNEX you can flash it back to factory state, and 2) it will be much easier for devs to create custom ROMS. Without these files it would take much longer for all the custom goodies we love to be created. Follow the link below for more information.

Keys to the Heart of Worship
Beautiful music enriches our lives, opening our hearts and soothing our souls. Since 1853,Steinway has dedicated themselves to creating the fi nest pianos in the world that deliver this beautiful music to us.

Made this using 3 individual wholemeal/grain lunch rolls (didn't use poppy seeds as the rolls already had sesame seeds on top plus other seeds throughout the roll) and used presliced swiss cheese in which I had cut each slice into 9 squares and using 2 slices per roll (a total of 18 squares per roll) put each of squares in the openings with sliced button mushrooms. Drizzled with the butter mix (made full quantity with a little extra garlic) could have cut back on this but what the heck, wrapped in the alfoil and put to one side to bake in a couple of hours time. Baked for 25 minutes (but was wishing I had opened the packets and baked for a couple of minutes opened to crisp them up). As was we (the DS. DM and I) thoroughly enjoyed with soup for a great dinner. Thank you loof, made for Please Review My Recipe.
This was good and relatively easy to make. I used one brown-n-serve sourdough round (from a 2 pack). They are not that large. I wasn't sure how much the recipe was going to make because the recipe does not specify the size of the bread round. I baked it for 10 minutes, as per the bread bag's instructions, and let that cool while I prepared my ingredients. Then I started the recipe out with the one loaf, and pretty much used half of my prepared ingredients except for the mushrooms, which I used the entire cup on the one loaf. I left foil over it the entire time and did not feel the need to bake or broil it any further after the baking time. It was a little crisp on the top already after baking in foil. With two loaves, I would double the mushrooms. Otherwise, in my opinion, cutting the recipe in half but doubling the mushrooms would work perfectly with the one round. Definitely recommend using sourdough. YUM!
Pure Comfort Food!! After one of the worst weeks of our lives we need something warm and comforting and this sure did fit the bill (we loved every bite). I made this using what we had on hand which was large soft sandwich rolls (sourdough), sliced Swiss cheese and button mushrooms, but did not change the recipe one little bit and yes I even had poppy seeds on hand to use :). Highly recommend and will be making again. Thank so very much for the post.

Starting before the first debate, a question has been posed to me frequently by current and former colleagues. "Is Mitt Romney the worst candidate of all time or what?" they ask, failing to suppress a grin for, in my line of work, current and former colleagues are, with few exceptions, delighted by that prospect.
The query is designed to dispirit and it does, though perhaps not in the way intended, or at least not chiefly that way. For contained within the question is the implicit, though sedulously dodged, admission President Obama deserves to lose. The incredulity underlying the question, that is, implies the understanding that a candidate who can't beat Obama and his track record must be a sorry candidate indeed.
Yet the truly discouraging aspect isn't so much that Romney might lose -- for he may yet win -- but that such a loss may signal a kind of electoral resignation, an acknowledgement by voters as tacit yet unspoken as the one lurking behind the negative assessment of Romney's campaigning skill. In other words, an Obama victory could be interpreted as an acceptance of a balance of power between individuals and the government that is out of whack.
This is not election year hyperbole, although there is no question winners and the losers of presidential contests tend to exult or wallow excessively. The signposts were evident even before the love-affair with government the Democrats presented in Charlotte provided a creepy case in point. After all, when a 31-year-old woman finds fame by hectoring taxpayers to buy her birth control, it is clear that even a $200,000 Ivy League feminist and gender studies degree doesn't open all the doors anymore.
At various volume levels, Democrats have been making this argument -- that a reliance on government and the alleged powers of its mandarins is a good thing -- for a long time. The call has gotten loud the past couple of years. For instance, Peter Orszag, Obama's former head of the Office of Management and Budget, wrote the country's problem is a surfeit of democracy. You may say he's a dreamer, but he's not the only one: North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue followed Orszag's call for rule by elite bureaucracy with a yearning for a day when politicians could sail along unperturbed by messy interruptions like elections.
This is genuine extremism: a realignment of government's purpose and the relationship between its subjects and rulers, to use the most apt words. Worse, it's a shift Obama embraces.
For this alteration is what he meant when he promised to "fundamentally transform" the United States. The goal explains how his administration can put the government on auto-pilot and cruise through three years without an approved budget, yet spend money all the while like dissipated trust fund babies. It explains, too, how Obama seeks re-election on essentially nothing at all -- blaming an inherited mess on unspecified previous policies, foreign "headwinds" and the like for a situation he insists, despite all contrary evidence, is improving. And does so while putting forward ... what, exactly, beyond more of the same?
Obama's opaque campaign makes sense in this respect: if the assumption is that government will and should handle so many aspects of life, then specifics aren't necessary. The debate then isn't about purpose or policy; it's simply haggling over price (a staggering sum, incidentally, and thus another matter best left unaddressed for now).
How can Romney not make this sale? One possible explanation would be he is a lousy salesman or a poor candidate, but then he's amassed a far superior resume to the one Obama had in 2008. An even scarier prospect is the U.S. has become so oddly contorted it looks, yes, "forward" to an uncharted era in which the government is viewed favorably as the sole galvanizing and unifying economic force.
So when friends ask if Mitt Romney is the worst candidate the quale comes not from the scouting report but from the fear that while serfdom may not be included on GPS today, we are leaving the road to it and hitting the highway ramp.

Eric Bledsoe understands the business of basketball.
The Birmingham native and Phoenix Suns point guard is an unrestricted free agent.
That means despite,coming off his finest season as a pro in 2013-2014 when he averaged 17.7 points, 5.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds the Suns still have first right of refusal.
That means they're able to match any other suitor might offer him.
Bledsoe is seeking a five-year, $80-million max deal while the Suns have placed a four-year, $48-millon offer on the table, according to multiple reports.
If he were an unrestricted free agent, he could simply take his talents to the highest-bidder and there wouldn't be anything the team he played for last year could do about it.
The three-day window, the Suns have to match, essentially, allows the market to determine his value.
The conundrum is what led to Bledsoe's matter-of-fact comment when interviewed by Birmingham's WVTM-TV this past weekend.
"First off, I'm letting my agent, Rich Paul, handle it," Bledsoe said. "I can understand the Phoenix Suns are using [being a] restricted free agent against me. But I can understand that."
Bledsoe, who returned to his typical athletic form, after the second knee surgery of his career could sign a one-year qualifying offer and become an unrestricted agent next year or sign a two-year deal then look to re-sign when the collective bargaining agreement is negotiated again.
The standoff between him and the Suns is one of the most interesting battles in sports business.

Another shootout loss serves as painful reminder of how Devils ended up out of playoffs
Maybe you thought all the pain for 2013-14 was behind the Devils when they were eliminated from playoff contention Wednesday night. Well, the fates would not let their season end without at least one more torturous shootout as a reminder of how they got in this position.
They're 0-12 now in the tiebreaker this season after a 2-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators tonight at Canadian Tire Centre.
Defenseman Erik Karlsson scored the only goal in the shootout, beating goaltender Cory Schneider high to the glove side in the fourth round. Dainius Zubrus had a chance to answer for the Devils in the bottom of the round, but missed the net.
Travis Zajac (hit outside of right post), Adam Larsson (left pad save) and Jaromir Jagr (left pad save) also failed to score on Senators goaltender Robin Lehner in the shootout.
"Take one of our quotes from any point this year and apply it tonight because it's the same result," said Schneider, who stopped an Ales Hemsky penalty shot in the second period and finished with 31 saves. "
The Devils have scored only three goals on 43 shootout attempts this season. They have lost an NHL record 16 consecutive shootouts dating back to last season.
"You've got to look at it positively," Jagr insisted. "Let's say something positive. I believe it goes so bad right now, something great is going to happen. Maybe not this year, but next year."
When asked if he would prefer not to be in a shootout again, Jagr replied, "That's the easiest thing to quit. I'm not going to quit. We have to work on that. It's frustrating, no question about it. It's probably cost us the playoffs, but you've got no other choice just to work on it in the summer."
If the Devils had won half of their 12 shootouts, they'd be tied with Philadelphia, Columbus and Detroit, which have all clinched playoff spots already with 91 points.
Jagr blamed himself for not scoring on any of his many chances in the third period and overtime. He just missed on a spinaroma shot, hitting the left post following some dazzling stick handling with 3:21 left in regulation.
Then, he was stopped by Lehner on a 3-on-1 rush and a breakaway in overtime.
"I had like seven shots the last 10 minutes," Jagr said. "That's the way it is right now. I wish it would be different. I've got to change it around and score 50 next year."
Although the game meant nothing as far as the playoffs because the Devils were already eliminated from contention, Schneider was as frustrated as he's been all season after this one.
"I'm just tired of losing," he said. "I'm just tired of losing. I just want to win, that's all."
After a slow start in which they managed only one shot on goal in the first 14 minutes of the game, the Devils pushed back and played pretty well, outshooting the Senators 39-32.
"I liked our game," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said. "You could see the first 10 minutes we were a little bit out of it. I think getting eliminated last night there was a little bit of a hangover, but I thought once we started to get into the game and started to move, we carried the play. Again, we should have had more than one goal."
And that, of course, has been a common theme for the Devils throughout this season.
"That's our story," said Patrik Elias, who four shots on goal. "We have chances, can't put the puck in. It's not good enough. We played well, though, but nothing to show for it. That's been our story all year."
DeBoer has asked his team to play for pride and finish the season the right way despite being eliminated and thought the players responded to that request tonight.
"I thought the game was well played by us," DeBoer said. "We had every reason not to show up here and just mail it in and, the guys, I knew they wouldn't and they didn't. They came out and I was really proud of our effort considering the circumstances."
They just didn't get the ending they wanted – again.
"Maybe we should just go straight to overtime the next two games," Schneider said. "Work hard, get chances, the guys didn't quit and don't get the result."
Larsson said he was surprised DeBoer selected him to shoot second in the shootout.
"But it was fun," he said. "And it was my first one, too."
Meaning it was his first shootout attempt at any level. Larsson actually made a good move, faking a backhand before pulling the puck back to his forehand, but couldn't lift it over Lehner's left pad.
"I have to get it up there," he said. "It was close, but not good enough."
Larsson said he hasn't heard anything yet, but he expects he will be returned to Albany at some point to help out with the playoff push there and, hopefully, get into the AHL postseason.
"I would love to go there and play the rest of the way, try to be a part of their playoff, if they make it," he said.

This past Saturday, December 17, our Richmond crewmembers helped our troops returning from Iraq make it home for the holidays. This year in particular, there is an especially large exodus of troops heading home on different carriers. Our Richmond crew reported that the troops were all very excited to be reunited with their families.
The soldiers were dropped off in waves at the airport beginning at 4 a.m. Our crewmembers offered the troops beverages and snacks while they waited for their connecting flights home. At the gate prior to boarding, our team made their normal boarding announcements but included a special early boarding call for our troops.
Everyone in the gate area stood up and applauded as the troops boarded. One crewmember wished the troops a Merry Christmas in Spanish, or "Feliz Navidad," which prompted the troops to all break into song and skip down the jet-bridge waiving their boarding passes!
We wish our troops and their families a very happy return home this holiday season!

Defenseman Andrew Ference will be out for Game 6 as the Boston Bruins will try to close out their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Bruins lead the best-of-7 series, three games to two.
Ference has an undisclosed injury and did not travel with the team to Toronto.
He is listed as day-to-day.
Ference logged 23:41 of ice time, with three hits, two blocked shots, and a shot on net.
Defenseman Wade Redden, who sat out Game 5 on Friday, participated in morning skate at the Air Canada Centre and will be a game-time decision according to coach Claude Julien.
He's also been battling an undisclosed injury. No details have been released to what's bothering the veteran blueliner.
Matt Bartkowski made his NHL playoff debut and skated in Redden's spot on the third defensive pairing with Adam McQuaid after being called up from Boston's AHL-affiliate Providence Thursday.
He finished with only 6:40 of ice time with a shot on goal and two hits.
If Redden can't go the Bruins only other defensive options are Dougie Hamilton and Aaron Johnson.
Hamilton saw his only playoff action in Game 2 because Ference was suspended for an illegal elbow to head hit on Leafs forward Mikhail Grabovski.
Johnson has sat out all series.

The study considered the social media strategies of more than 100 U.S. brands across six industries, distinguishing between two key uses of social media: servicing, and marketing.
"Marketing engagements include connecting with consumers to build brand awareness and affinity, in addition to promoting coupons and deals," the report explained, while examples of servicing include "answering specific consumer questions or resolving problems."
Beyond Regions, three other banks were recognized for social media marketing success: Capital One/Chevy Chase, Chase, and Huntington National Bank.
Regions' Twitter account, which operates under the handle @askRegions, has nearly 5,800 followers.

Willie L. Mason, 40, who is currently homeless, faces charges of attempted murder, arson and making terroristic threats, and is being held at the Bergen County Jail on $500,000 bail.
Mason has a history of prior domestic violence incidents with his ex-girlfriend, who is the mother of his 3-year-old son, according to the Bergen prosecutor's office. Mason left threatening voicemail messages on the woman's phone Monday night and the woman later saw Mason pouring gasoline on the foundation of her home, authorities said.
The woman called police, who arrived just as Mason was attempting to ignite the gasoline, authorities said. He fled, but was captured nearby, authorities said.
In addition to the woman, six other people were in the two-family home including four children, authorities said.

Bankruptcy & Reorganization

Avoiding business bankruptcy proceedings
Most small businesses are financially cyclical to some extent, with some days, weeks, months and years better than others. Although good financial planning can lessen the impact of economic downturn, many businesses do experience some level of financial hardship at one time or another. These times can be especially difficult if the business owner becomes uncertain of his ability to make a monthly payment to a secured lender.
There are ways to deal with cash-flow problems as they apply to secured lender obligations. It is important to put them into perspective by way of a timeline. Usually the inability to pay is not an unforeseen occurrence discovered on the day a payment is due, but rather is foreseeable at least 90 to 120 days in advance. This is generally the most crucial time period and is referred to as "pre-default".
The biggest mistake small business owners tend to make during the pre-default period is ignoring the imminent financial tidal wave because they unreasonably believe that a miracle correction will set things straight. However, if the issue is acknowledged quickly at the outset, there are more options available to correct the situation. In addition, pre-default solutions are generally easier to impose and less costly than after the "tidal wave" hits.
Our attorneys can help you to avoid complex, costly, formal, and public bankruptcy proceedings when financial hardship arises.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy
Individuals who are overwhelmed with personal debt may opt to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. As your counselor, our legal team can help you determine if this is the best course of action or if there is a better way to turn things around. We can also relieve you of those embarrassing and hurtful collection calls and help put you on the path of financial health.

That puts Gentex Corp. in a sweet spot.
The inventor of the automatic-dimming rearview mirrors, the Zeeland company has a new product just right for that mandate whenever it comes down.
Gentex engineers created a system that links a rear-mounted camera to a video monitor inside a rearview mirror. When a car is in reverse, the image of an otherwise-hidden toddler scooting across the driveway or other danger appears.
The company, with $624 million in sales in 2008, has told shareholders it expects demand to build for its camera-display mirrors and other high-profit innovations such as its SmartBeam headlights.
Rather than just waiting for slumping auto sales to revive, Gentex is driving sales with new, better or must-have components. It expects the camera system to double in sales this year.
But inventions don't fall out of the sky. It takes smart workers and smart operations.
That's why it was so traumatic for the successful company a year ago when, as the whole economy fell off a cliff, Gentex was forced to make sweeping cuts.
When it shed 370 hourly and salaried workers, front-page headlines announced Gentex was making its first permanent layoffs since its founding in 1974.
What a difference a year makes, Connie Hamblin, vice president for corporate communications, said last week.
Anticipating that demand will return to the global market, Gentex has quietly moved back into the job market.
So far, it has hired 200 workers (about half of them from the layoff ranks) and is recruiting 100 more for 50 technical and engineering jobs and 50 manufacturing positions, said Bruce Los, vice president for human resources.
Is Gentex getting ahead of the curve?
After all, other employers are hanging back, reluctant to hire until convinced the economy has healed.
But Gentex, with 2,350 employees, does not intend to be slow out of the gate when its customers need parts, Los and Hamblin said.
It is keeping its pipeline full with bright, talented people, particularly engineers.
"A big part of our strategy is to stay in West Michigan, but to do that, we need to be really good at what we do," Los said.
Gentex has its own specialized approach to keeping its work force innovative.
New hires, like 23-year-old Jon Hansen from Grand Valley State University's mechanical engineering program, start out on the factory floor as technical team leaders. There, they learn the high-tech product, the highly complex assembly process and how to problem solve on the shop floor.
They move up to group leaders and project managers like 25-year-old Joe Conners, who speaks Japanese and works with Toyota, one of Gentex' major customers. Or like Peter Kantola, 28, a project manager who works with Audi, another large customer.
Letting them try their wings
Gentex fosters an environment that lets these young engineers try their wings. "You are not second-guessed, you are challenged: Do you have the skill set, have you done the research?" Kantola said.
Markus Lenoir, a 35-year-old test engineer trained in the Navy, agreed. "The big thing is the opportunity," he said, "We are given the freedom to try things and to do new things."
For Gentex, the agony of the last year's cutbacks is being replaced by the excitement of breakthrough products meant to keep it ahead of the pack.
"A lot of suppliers are so shell-shocked, they're holding off doing anything until the market comes back," said Erich Merkle, an analyst who runs Autoconomy.com in Grand Rapids.
"The problem is competitors like Gentex are preparing for the rebound."
Rather than counting on cost-cutting or outsourcing, Gentex is betting on human ingenuity.
That's the difference this year and beyond. It's a sweet spot, indeed.

Yo La Tengo - 'Fade' (January 15)
The veteran N.J. indie act have been dishing out low-key, hummable hooks for nearly three decades now, and have never released a bad album. "Fade," produced by Tortoise's John McIntire, is their first studio release in four years. Lead single "Stupid Things" hints at the sonic textures of their best album, 1997's "I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One," and various editions of "Fade" include multiple bonus tracks to make up for lost time.

Rickenbaugh-Shirley Baseball Field in Mechanicsburg's Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Park is getting a major facelift thanks to a project funded by the borough council and the school board.
It also is getting a new scoreboard in right center field courtesy of Giant Food Stores. It is one of two new donated scoreboards that will improve fields at the park.
The school board accepted the $15,000 donation for the baseball field from Giant during its June 10 meeting.
Under terms of the gift, Giant will place an advertising banner on the sign.
Giant spokesman Chris Brand said the donation falls squarely into Giant's identified community involvement efforts: improving the quality of life for children and eliminating hunger.
The field is used by the community's sandlot baseball team and the high school's varsity team.
The other improvements include new dugouts and a masonry wall in the area behind home plate.
And when football season begins, a new sign will be prominent in John H. Frederick Field, where the Mechanicsburg Wildcats play their home games.
That $40,000 sign is a gift from the Brenner Family of Dealerships in Mechanicsburg.
The car dealer, whose offerings include Chrysler, Jeep and Nissan, last December offered to pay for and install a new scoreboard in time for the new football season.
Ronald Reagan was president in 1984 when the football scoreboard began displaying points for the high school team and its opponents. Athletic director Andrea Teeter said it getting increasingly difficult, not to mention expensive, to find parts for the unit.
Brenner's offer is to finance the purchase and installation over four years at a cost of $39,870. In exchange, Brenner's name will be placed at the bottom of the scoreboard and will remain there for the life of the unit.
The district will front the cost of the scoreboard and accept the four annual payments from Brenner.
Over the years Mechanicsburg has been conservative in its approach to seeking corporate sponsorships for things such as a new scoreboard.
But, as superintendent Mark Leidy said when the donation was disclosed, these are difficult economic times and any money that can pay for items such as the scoreboard, allowing tax dollars to be spent on instruction, is welcome.

9/11 repercussions
Why, asked my eye doctor, havent you written about some of the effects of 9/11 on the medical field, like the corneal transplant program? Because I didnt know about it, I said. Now I do, thanks to Patty Lent, a former Kitsap County Commissioner long active in the transplant program.
About 40 years ago, she tells me, the Bremerton Central Lions Club established the Seattle Eye Bank whereby corneal tissue was taken from the eyes of the deceased, with the familys permission, of course, and brought to Bremerton and used to restore the sight of people who otherwise would go blind. Bremerton was the only place in the state where the operation was being performed.
They used to take the entire eye out, Mrs. Lent said. But now just the corneal tissue is taken. It is processed in a Styrofoam container and someone from the Seattle Eye Bank would take it down to the ferry for Bremerton. A ferry worker would take the container and when the boat got to Bremerton, hand it over to someone waiting from the Lions Club who would then drive it to the hospital where the surgery was to be performed.
After 9/11, ferry management called a halt to the shuttle service, pleading lack of time and unwillingness to bear the responsibility for being the overseer.
Now, we have to take the ferry to Seattle and be met there by someone from the eye bank who hands over the container we ride back and take it to Harrison Medical Center where Dr. Paul Kramer does the surgery, Mrs. Lent said. He does a particular kind of corneal transplant that is the latest medical advancement. New necessary instrumentation is required to prepare the tissue for transplant and Seattle cant do it. Its done for us at the Portland Eye Bank, so Portland puts the container on a plane to Seattle. The Seattle Eye Bank picks it up at the airport and drives it to the ferry terminal.
This is part of a nationwide program called VisionShare, Mrs. Lent said. If we have a person for transplant and no tissue, we can get one from another state. If we have a tissue and no one ready in this state, we send the tissue to another state. Washington interacts with Montana, Idaho and Alaska, each of which has its own eye bank to do the preparation. We figure weve done thousands, 10,000 from our local eye bank alone.
For every transplant, about 18 papers have to be prepared, she said, dealing with the family history of the donor, blood test results, etc. This all goes to a laboratory to make sure no AIDS, herpes or some disease affected the blood that surrounded the tissue or is part of the tissue.
They try to do this within 72 hours. The tissue can stay in a solution for 14 days but the rush is on to get it transplanted as soon as possible. They would like to go back to the old shuttle service they had before 9/1l. But ferry management says no way.
We no longer allow unaccompanied freight, said Susan Harris, customer information manager. Our crews do not have the time or can take the responsibility of accepting the container, getting payment, writing out a receipt and getting it off on the next boat.
The corneal transplant program is a great thing to do, she said. We used to do all kinds of stuff that was walked on, like blood, but its just not possible any more.
Too bad but understandable. By the way, all that hustling around is paid for by the individual Lions Club members who do it. They donate their time and pay their own ferry fare and gasoline bills as a community service. No reimbursement. That, says Mrs. Lent, is what service clubs are for.

Between Azealia Banks and Nicki Minaj, we've been getting an overabundance of some of the weirdest female emcee business this season, the two seemingly in some sort of never-ending challenge to see who can be the kookiest.
"Stupid Hoe" is the latest preview from Nicki's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded and it is just as lyrically/ musically insane as its predecessor "Roman In Moscow", an overly animated cacophony of whistles, handclaps, air sirens and what sounds like Pac-Man sound effects providing a fitting playground-like foundation for the Big Bootied One's usual multiple personality mic antics (numerous accent switch-ups, extended syllables, random turns of singing, etc.) and lady-slaying stings ("These bitches is my sons and I don't want custody").
It's also good for only a single listen or two, the been-there/ heard-that tricks on display here just not carrying the same addictive WTF spark so close to "Moscow"'s release and the far more adventurous (and exciting) material Banks has been throwing out recently.
Are we saying we're ready for Nicki to switch gears up and give us some of that pop tart flavor previously mined on "Your Love" and "Check It Out"? Not necessarily, nor do we long for her to get all serious and personal on us "Right Thru Me"-style just yet, but with Azealia nipping at her heels in the Department of Bat-Shit Lunacy with catchier beats and more memorable oral sex-themed lines, let's just say Minaj is going to have to start thinking up newer and fresher ways to flex her creativity beyond the same ol' same ol'.

Genetics and Molecular Medicine
Genetic Testing News
U.S. Supreme Court invalidates gene patents
June 13, 2013 - The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that human genes are products of nature and therefore are not patent-eligible. The AMA strongly advocated for an end to gene patents, and welcomed the Supreme Court decision. Read the AMA press release and the full Supreme Court decision.
AMA, NOVA, and The Hastings Center Webinar on Personalized Medicine
Aug. 30, 2012 - The American Medical Association, in conjunction with NOVA and The Hastings Center, presented the webinar "Cracking your genetic code: Personalized, gene-based medicine." Based on the recent NOVA documentary "Cracking Your Genetic Code," the webinar will explored personalized medicine technologies being used clinically today, the perception of such technologies by patients and the ethical questions this evolving science raises.

Brochure on pharmacogenomics developed by the AMA, Critical Path Institute, and the Arizona Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics
July 5, 2011 - The AMA has teamed with the Critical Path Institute and the Arizona Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics to develop a brochure for health care providers on pharmacogenomics. Pharmacogenomics is the study of genetic variations that influence individual response to drugs. Knowing whether a patient carries any of these genetic variations can help prescribers individualize drug therapy, decrease the chance for adverse drug events, and increase the effectiveness of drugs. The brochure, intended for physicians and other health care providers who may not have extensive experience with pharmacogenomics, introduces the concept using a case-based approach. View an electronic version of the brochure. To request hard copies of the brochure, email email@example.com.
AMA to FDA: Genetic Testing Should be Conducted by Qualified Health Professionals
Feb. 23, 2011 - In a letter to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the AMA called for genetic testing to be conducted under the guidance of a physician, genetic counselor, or other genetics specialist. The letter was sent to the Molecular and Clinical Genetics Panel of the FDA's Medical Devices Advisory Committee regarding direct to consumer genetic tests prior to the panel's hearings on the topic, scheduled for March 8 and 9.

Clopidogrel label to include warning about reduced effectiveness in patients with genetic variants
Mar. 12, 2010 – A Boxed Warning has been added to the product labeling of clopidogrel (Plavix®), informing health care providers that patients who carry certain variations in CYP2C19 may not derive full therapeutic benefit from the drug. View the updated label.
Warfarin labeling updated with pharmacogenomic dosing rages
Jan. 22, 2010 – The FDA announced today that the warfarin product labeling has been updated. The label now includes expected therapeutic dosing ranges for patients with variations in the genes CYP2C9 and VKORC1. View the new label.
Federal Circuit Court of Appeals Upholds Myriad Gene Patents
Aug. 17, 2012 - For the second time, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has upheld Myriad Genetics' patents on the isolated BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The AMA opposes gene patenting, and submitted an amicus brief in advance of the hearing, arguing that gene patents inhibit patient and physician access to optimal care. The plaintiffs are expected to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case.
Improve your ability to identify patients at high risk for colorectal cancer
July 12, 2012 - The AMA has collaborated with the National Coalition for Health Care Professional Education in Genetics (NCHPEG) to develop a Web-based educational program designed to improve the primary care physician's (and other health care providers') skills at assessing risk, genetic testing, risk communication and counseling, and surveillance for hereditary colorectal cancer. The course is available in both enduring and performance improvement formats, and CME credit is available to those who complete the course. For more information, please visit the NCHPEG Web site.

The first building to take up its location here was a bell tower, which was moved from the village of Ullånger on the High Coast to its current position in 1913. There are around eighty other buildings, most notably traditional Ångermanland farmhouses and the old Murberget church, once a popular venue for local weddings. Look out for the Rysstugan, the one and only wooden building to escape the devastating fire caused by the Russians in 1721. The nineteenth-century Spjute Inn here is still home to a restaurant, and also contains a skittle alley dating from 1910, where you can have a game.

The dominant usage of trumpets, sax and other wind instruments of the previous record has much decreased on "Union", but the traditional and Mexican type influences have enlarged and they work better in the whole sound as it would be the easiest thing on earth and so, the frontiers of the individual musicstyles often get blurry. Who always wanted to know how the BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB would sound on Heavy Metal, PUYA offer this unique chance.
On "Numbed", "Bridge" and "Si Aja", they used a lot of tricks and some guest musician appears on this tracks to capture the right flair. But the uniqueness of this band is not only caused by the exotic influences, it's also the equally presented Metal influence. "Union" is not a dull album, it's very matured. Enough heaviness and power, combined with nearly progressive appraoches, that's the concept of PUYA. Also "No Interference", "Matter Of Time" (reminds me slightly of ANTHRAX), "Pa' Ti Pa' Mi" and "Ahorake" (Ethno Metal?) are no exception. The final track leads the album to a fitting end and shows again what is so special about PUYA.
"Union" was produced by Mudrock (CHIMAIRA, for example), Garth "GGGarth" Richardson (SPINESHANK, MUDVAYNE...) and the band itself. Also the production is very proper and who looks for a really individual piece of music and has no problems with experimentals, finds its pleasure with PUYA. Promised! (Online September 23, 2003)
