As children we are always asked the question, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" Some children want to be superheroes, doctors, and firefighters. For many of us the answer is something quite different. As we grew up many of our peers are playing team sports such as soccer and baseball and we spent our days waiting to get out of school or waiting for our parents to get home to take us riding. As we grow older we realize that this can become our job if we push hard enough for it and we grasp onto the dream of becoming a professional motocross racer.
Chip Munn in Elm Mott, Texas is fully aware of these dreams and aspirations and has been helping riders fulfill these dreams for many years. He has been helping amateurs out in the Texas area since before most of today's younger pros were riding or even born. After years of the amateur effort he decided to put forth a professional team to help his amateurs go to the big leagues and most of all have fun.
This past weekend Chip extended an invitation to the world for riders to come down to Texas and try out for his team. He is building a larger team for the 2013 season and is looking to give any pro rider a chance to be a part of his program. Riders from across the United States made the journey to Three Palms MX Park in Texas to hopefully make their dreams of racing on a pro team come true.
As the Texas sun rose Saturday morning about 35 riders rolled into the track for a chance to be a part of the 2013 Munn Racing team. The riders were greeted with breakfast from the team driver Tim as Chip explained what was going to take place throughout the day. The riders would be tested on their physical abilities by having to race through an obstacle course to see who was in shape and who wasn't. Shawn Rhinehart won the obstacle course on day one with flying colors followed by Josef DeBower and Dano Aulseybrook.
After the Tryout Dash the riders suited up for some riding. The team had 5 bikes for them to turn laps on so they could get used to the KTM's and also the set up the team had. To warm up the riders took the 2012 outdoor race bikes on the outdoor style track and put in some laps. After the riders had gotten some seat time they were put on the 2013 KTM's and sent out to the Supercross track. For many riders it was the first time they had been on a Supercross track so all the time they could get on the track was valuable.
After lunch most of the focus for riding was on the Supercross track where the riders were being timed to see how they were matching up with each other. They were given about 15 minutes to put in solid laps each session. At the end of the day everyone huddled around the hauler for a meeting. There were chairs lined up for the riders for Chip to explain their future. He thanked everyone for making the journey out and expressed his excitement for all of those who came down. He then called the names of the riders who wouldn't be going on to the next phase of the process but welcomed them to stick around and enjoy the rest of the weekend with the team. At this point the riders began to realize that not everyone was going to make the team and that things were a little more serious.
Day 2 came fast with the Texas sun rising for another great day of riding. Three Palms MX Park was hosting a few races on Sunday which brought about more spectators for the tryouts as well. Everyone wanted to get a glimpse of what it was like to try out for a pro team. The day would start with another obstacle course race much like the day before but much longer and more difficult. The new course included a joker lane which was a 50 foot long water pit that they could either run through or climb ropes over. The joker lane showed who was willing to go the extra mile to be a part of Chip's program. Shawn Rhinehart won the Tryout Dash for the second time followed by Dano Aulseybrook , and Tyler Livesay.
After the obstacle course everyone warmed themselves up and suited up for a day on the Supercross track. Sunday only three bikes were going to be ridden. The 2013 250, 350, and 450 were the choice steeds for the day and Chip had selected the order in which the riders would take to the track as well as what bike he thought would suit them the best. After half of a day of riding the riders gathered for lunch and another selection process. He offered about 10 riders a seat at a table that would be going on
to the next stage. He then had a one on one talk with each rider that wasn't selected to go on and told each of them that he would do whatever he could to help them out in the future and that he wanted to stay in contact with them and help them grow as a rider and as an individual.
After Chip talked with everyone that had not been selected his attention was diverted to the riders left. He had them head out for some more laps while he observed lap times, riding style, and their overall personality. He tried to pull each of them aside and get their personal story and find out more about them. At the end of the day he had them practice starts with his mechanic Big Dan. Big Dan helped them figure out starts on the KTM's and it was also a time to get to know the riders more.
As the sun set and things wrapped up the riders got into street clothes and headed over to the rig to get a one on one talk with Chip about their future for 2013. Overall, it was a great weekend for not only the team but all of the riders to see what a tryout is like and what they need to do in order to be ready for next year's tryout if they didn't make the team. All of the deals and riders for the 2013 season for Munn Racing have not been finalized yet, but one thing is for sure and that is that Chip is building an army of talented and well rounded riders who have the heart to make their dreams come true!

Caesar cipher
The Caesar cipher is the simplest and oldest known type of substitution cipher, attributed to Julius Caesar who used it to send government messages. In it, each letter in the alphabet is replaced by another letter using a predefined rule which shifts the alphabet a uniform amount to the right or left. For example, a shift of three units to the right, would turn the "This is secret" into "Wklv lv vhfuhw."

This is the tale of how my hubby quit his life-long soda habit by swapping chemicals for super simple Slim Lemonade. Read on to hear How To Quit Your Soda Habit for Good by sipping delicious and nutritious fresh-squeezed lemonade instead!
First thing's first, the literally easy as 1 – 2 – 3 recipe!
Slim Lemonade
3 lemons
2 quarts water
1 teaspoon liquid stevia, or sweetened to your liking
1.) Slice 3 lemons in half.
2.) Squeeze those lemons!
I prefer to use the freebie juicer above (the best things in life are free!), but any tool from an automatic juicer to a pressed juicer like my cooking idle Rachael Ray uses or even just your hands alone will work in a pinch. Woah, there are a lot of cool tools to choose from!
If hand squeezing, use super ripe, juicy lemons if possible or get a not-so-ripe lemon's juices flowing by popping it in the microwave for a few seconds or firmly rolling it on the counter.
Collect juices in a 2 quart pitcher.
I love the square space-saver pitchers I purchased recently but there are so many other beautiful options to choose from too. In all honestly I got new glass pitches to switch from my grandmother's old plastic, probably BPA ridden puppies (which I obviously still used a few months ago when I first thought to share this whole concept, oops.)
3.) Fill the remaining pitcher with water.
4.) Stir liquid stevia into the lemon water, sweetening lemonade to your liking.
5.) Taste test the lemonade to ensure the sweetness is spot on.
Bring a little sunshine and a lot of good-for-you goodies into your everyday with sweet refreshing Slim Lemonade or just plain lemons.
After hearing about all of it's fabulous qualities, I've recently started keeping sliced lemon in the fridge for tea and water. These tart treats are cleansers that flush toxins out of the body, exactly the opposite of soda. Lemons are packed with nutrients and antioxidants and rich with energy, immune, nerve and brain boosters. These bright-yellow babies support heart health, aid digestion, freshen breath, plus they fight inflammation, infection, blemishes, wrinkles, hunger cravings, anxiety and depression. Apparently lemon can also help soda addicts quit the habit for good!
Before I kept our fridge stocked with Slim Lemonade, my hubby had a fierce soda habit.
While some-what on topic, I think it's worth mentioning that back in the day, not long after entering the real world work force hubs switched to diet soda, cut out mayo and almost immediately lost 20 pounds. But that's another story!
Over the years as we learned more and more about the nasty side effects of the harmful ingredients that make up soda, Brian decreased his soda habit to one a day, which he drank with dessert each night. He attempted substituting in homemade sodas but the carbonation level just wasn't the same and the flavors were way out of whack.
I'm not sure why but one day out of the blue, life handed me lemons so I decided to make Slim Lemonade. Brian began replacing his daily dessert time soda with lemony goodness until he had completely kicked his soda habit for good!
Do yourself a favor and squeeze a little lemon into your life with Slim Lemonade or simply lemons! You will soon see and enjoy so many lovely benefits. Cheers, mate!

Since I am going back to work in two months, I decided to wean my 10-month old daughter from the breast and start introducing the bottle on a regular basis (to get her ready for daycare).
Since I started doing this, I found myself in constant ''oversupply'' and thought maybe I should let go of the domperidone and start taking fenugreek and blessed thistle (I had breast reduction surgery a few years ago therefore foregoing supplements completely is not an option). I did stop taking domperidone just a few days ago but even while taking natural supplements, my supply is basically, well, gone!! I am so disappointed!
I want to continue to breastfeed and fully intend on pumping at the office when I go back to work. So, I started taking the dom again this morning and I'm pumping on a regular basis.
Do you think this 'mishap' will affect my supply? Or should it come back to normal?? (I'm keeping my fingers crossed really hard for this one!!)

Medical education
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Medical education is education related to the practice of being a medical practitioner; either the initial training to become a physician (i.e., medical school and internship), or additional training thereafter (e.g., residency and fellowship).
Medical education and training varies considerably across the world. Various teaching methodologies have been utilised in medical education, which is an active area of educational research.[1]
Entry-level education[edit]
Entry-level medical education programs are tertiary-level courses undertaken at a medical school. Depending on jurisdiction and university, these may be either undergraduate-entry (most of Europe, India, China), or graduate-entry programs (mainly Australia, Canada, United States).
In general, initial training is taken at medical school. Traditionally initial medical education is divided between preclinical and clinical studies. The former consists of the basic sciences such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, pathology. The latter consists of teaching in the various areas of clinical medicine such as internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, general practice and surgery. However, medical programs are using systems-based curricula in which learning is integrated, and several institutions do this. In the United States, until quite recently,[when?] the requirements for the M.D. degree did not include even one course in human nutrition. Today, this omission has been rectified, at least to the extent that one such course is required.[citation needed]
There has been a proliferation of programmes that combine medical training with research (M.D./Ph.D.) or management programmes (M.D./ MBA), although this has been criticised because extended interruption to clinical study has been shown to have a detrimental effect on ultimate clinical knowledge.[2]
Postgraduate education[edit]
Following completion of entry-level training, newly graduated doctors are often required to undertake a period of supervised practice before full registration is granted; this is most often of one-year duration and may be referred to as an "internship" or "provisional registration" or "residency".
Further training in a particular field of medicine may be undertaken. In the U.S., further specialized training, completed after residency is referred to as "fellowship". In some jurisdictions, this is commenced immediately following completion of entry-level training, while other jurisdictions require junior doctors to undertake generalist (unstreamed) training for a number of years before commencing specialisation.
Education theory itself is becoming an integral part of postgraduate medical training. Formal qualifications in education are also becoming the norm for medical school educators, who are increasingly accountable for their students.
Continuing medical education[edit]
In most countries, continuing medical education (CME) courses are required for continued licensing.[3] CME requirements vary by state and by country. In the USA, accreditation is overseen by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). Physicians often attend dedicated lectures, grand rounds, conferences, and performance improvement activities in order to fulfill their requirements.
Online learning[edit]
It is becoming more and more common for medical education around the world to be supported by online teaching, usually within learning management systems (LMSs) or virtual learning environments (VLEs).[4][5]
Research areas into online medical education include practical applications with virtual patients and virtual medical records.[6]
- Dental Anatomy Software[7]
- Virtual Dental Patients
Virtual Dental Patients is a combination of systems and methods that read digital medical records and create three-dimensional image simulations. This computerized method provides an accurate representation of the surface anatomy of hard and soft tissues, tooth contacts, and motion of the patient's jaw while the teeth are in contact. Virtual Dental Patients provide valuable information in the diagnosis, prognosis, and outcome assessment of the patient's dental health. This invention represents a paradigm shift in clinical measurement for dentistry.
Example of medical education systems[edit]
At present, in the United Kingdom, a typical medicine course at university is 5 years or 4 years if the student already holds a degree. Among some institutions and for some students, it may be 6 years (including the selection of an intercalated BSc—taking one year—at some point after the pre-clinical studies). All programs culminate in the Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery degree (abbreviated MBChB, MBBS, MBBCh, BM, etc.). This is followed by 2 clinical foundation years afterward, namely F1 and F2, similar to internship training. Students register with the UK General Medical Council at the end of F1. At the end of F2, they may pursue further years of study. The system in Australia is very similar, with registration by the Australian Medical Council (AMC).
In the US and Canada, a potential medical student must first complete an undergraduate degree in any subject before applying to a graduate medical school to pursue an (M.D. or D.O.) program. U.S. medical schools are almost all four-year programs. Some students opt for the research-focused M.D./Ph.D. dual degree program, which is usually completed in 7–10 years. There are certain courses that are pre-requisite for being accepted to medical school, such as general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, English, labwork, etc. The specific requirements vary by school.
In Australia, there are two pathways to a medical degree. Students can choose to take a five- or six-year undergraduate medical degree Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS or BMed) as a first tertiary degree directly after secondary school graduation, or first complete a bachelor's degree (in general three years, usually in the medical sciences) and then apply for a four-year graduate entry Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program.

Since joining the UT Arlington track and field staff prior to the 2011 season, Wade Hayes has paid huge dividends in aiding the team's field events, primarily in the pole vault. A former Mavericks standout in that event, he has helped direct the current crew of pole vaulters to new heights.
In 2011, Jeff Rodriguez earned Second-Team All-America honors in the pole vault after placing 14th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He also was the Drake Relays champion. Rodriguez continued to soar in 2012, setting school records in both the indoor (5.35m) and outdoor (5.40m) events. He also won the indoor conference championship and was a national qualifier in the outdoor season.
In addition, Hayes helped three other athletes grab all-conference honors in the pole vault. On the women's side, Sammy Nash was a Southland Conference honoree in 2011, while Julianne Burch claimed outdoor accolades in 2012. In addition, Romain Martin was an all-conference choice in the 2012 indoor season and is a three-time All-American in the decathlon.
As a collegian, Hayes won five consecutive Southland Conference championships in the pole vault. He also held the school record with a mark of 5.25 meters.
A 2010 graduate of UT Arlington, Hayes earned his degree in kinesiology.

Where the Foss Way Intersects the Great North Road
Patrick Mercer OBE served in Nottinghamshire's local Regiment, the Sherwood Foresters, before becoming a BBC journalist. He was elected as Newark's Member of Parliament in 2001 and, unusually for Britain, lives in the center of his constituency. No wonder he's proud of Newark.
For me, Newark has proved that there really is a grand design in life. In 1948,my father was ordained from a theological college near to the town. Sometime later, it was sold and became the headquarters of the District Council—the spot where elections of all sorts are organized, the votes counted and results declared. So it was that 53 years after my father had been there, I stood on the same spot and swore to serve the people of Newark as their Member of Parliament—which sparked my deep affection for the place.
In medieval times, Newark was the most significant market town between London and York
Newark was once one of the most prosperous towns in eastern England, and I wish that were still the case now. In medieval times, it was the most significant market town between London and York, principally because of its position on the River Trent. This mighty river runs from the heart of England to the coast, with Newark standing astride a major ford. People have always congregated at fords, because they are natural funnels, making trade and commerce the focus of the town from ancient times until now.
A substantial castle was built here to dominate and defend the river crossing, and around which a thriving community grew up. When you look at the castle and admire it, the typical Newarker's response would be, "Aye, it'll look nice when it's finished!," but it does contain the remains of King John, who died there in the early 13th century. At least, parts of him are there; his entrails were removed from his body and taken to be buried in Worcester Cathedral, following the theory that a man's soul was contained in his innards rather than in his mind!
Then came Newark's most celebrated chapter, when the town became the seat of King Charles I during the English Civil Wars. The town was besieged three times, with Charles' surrender to the Scots army in nearby Southwell effectively marking the end of resistance to Cromwell's Parliamentary forces. And that's what I always tell anyone who's interested—that it was really events in Newark that laid the basis for democracy as we know it today in Britain.
Since then, the town's fortunes have waxed and waned over the centuries. The Napoleonic Wars saw the town expand hugely with a large number of people settling there due to the increased demands of local agriculture and the series of mills that had been constructed in town. About this period, the town grew out toward the nearby village of Balderton, the two becoming almost one place.
The 19th century gave rise to Newark's most famous political son, William Gladstone, prime minister of Britain more times than I care to remember. Gladstone started as a Tory, but switched to the Whigs, apparently without causing much comment in Newark. In the town hall square there's a blue plaque commemorating where he made his first acceptance speech to represent the town in Parliament. Whether you regard Gladstone as the "Grand Old Man" or the "Murderer of Gordon" probably doesn't matter very much, but the museum contains a splendid variety of his ephemera.
Violent times begat a number of different things for Newark in the 20th century. She lost a record number of her sons during World War I, but it was really the events of 1939 to 1945 that created the area's contemporary social and economic structure. Britain's move toward total war in the mid-1930s is a remarkable story, with Newark showing its impact more clearly than most other places. To supply the growing Royal Air Force, a substantial ball-bearing production plant was built in the town that continues in business today. To house the workers and their families, a housing estate sprang up that was christened Hawtonville. At one time, this was the largest such housing estate in the Midlands, a model of its kind. With diminished demand for aircraft parts after the war, however, the estate became increasingly run-down.
Today Hawtonville is the single largest concentration of my constituents, and the neighborhood can only be described as "challenging." The quality of housing there was initially very good, but incremental "improvements" have not always been of the highest quality. As a result, this sprawl of a couple of thousand dwellings is fine in parts, but many areas are less than lovely. What is so interesting about Hawtonville, though, is the social makeup of the place.
Just over 10 years ago, there was a celebrated criminal case where a man called Tony Martin was approached by two young men on his dilapidated farm in Norfolk, which had been subject to several burglaries in recent years. As the two youngsters entered Martin's property, he opened fire with a shotgun, killing one and seriously wounding another. The case became something of a cause célèbre and encouraged me to introduce a Private Member's Bill that gave greater protection to householders in such circumstances. Both these young men came from the Hawtonville and were habitual criminals.
I'm not suggesting that criminality is widespread in this housing estate, but in the 21st century, relatively prosperous, east-middle England, Hawtonville does still stand out as an area of remarkable diversity. Most of Newark's drug crime is clustered here, for instance, but by the same token, so too are most of Newark's churches and religious community. In short, it has the feel of an area that is at least 20 years behind the times, and one upon which a very great deal of social and local government resource is expended.
Adjacent to Hawtonville is Newark's hospital. Like every other facility in this proud, old town, the hospital is built on the site of earlier versions and has been and continues to be a source of both pride and anxiety. As Britain's population ages, so does Newark's, and the demands on National Health Service properties such as our hospital have grown exponentially. The difficulty is, of course, that healthcare has become both more expensive and more technical, with British health authorities seeking to achieve economies of scale whenever they can. So towns of modest size, like Newark, find it increasingly difficult to justify complex hospitals. It makes more economic sense for district hospitals to become centers of excellence in larger population centers. The logic of this is inescapable, but it still means that smaller communities get fewer health resources and people have to travel to access the latest medicines and techniques.
While that may be logical, it's unpalatable. Older people in the town resent having to travel for medical attention for which they have paid handsomely through taxes all their life. Recently Newark lost the facility to deal with heart attacks, not because of financial constraints as such, but because of increased capability and capacity in hospitals in Lincoln and Mansfield. And here's the rub—Newark lies right at the eastern boundary of the county—outside the administrative bounds of Lincolnshire. This is difficult enough, but when the Byzantine organization of the NHS is grafted upon local factors, then difficulties multiply.
For instance, the local NHS is administered by two distinctly different healthcare trusts, the logic of which completely defeats me. The ambulance service (meant to whisk my constituents away from Newark into the centers of excellence mentioned above) is organised on a tri-county basis, whose headquarters is almost 40 miles away in the city of Derby! To an American reader, 40 miles may not sound like much, but to anyone who knows how difficult it is to move from east to west through the maze of minor roads in this part of Britain, 40 miles is an odyssey. The movement of patients is one thing, but the ability of loved ones to travel hither-and-yon across these road networks leaves the honest burghers of Newark exasperated.
I've mentioned the financial conditions in which both Britain and Newark find themselves at the moment, but the clearest demonstration of this is the state of our schools. Primary schooling (i.e., for children 5-11 years) has very capable schools throughout the constituency that are largely housed in adequate buildings. But our secondary schools are a major problem. All sorts of social factors mean that up to 40 percent of children coming into secondary school are categorised as "special needs." In other words, they are reading at three years or more behind grade level.
So by the time these students get to secondary school, the staff has their work cut out. Unfortunately, the fabric of our three secondary schools has deteriorated so badly over the years that one needs to be bull-dozed and the other two need serious refurbishment. The problem here, though, is emotional as well as economic.
The last government made promises to rebuild and renovate all of the three schools. As the financial crisis deepened, though, it became obvious that putting this plan into practice was not possible. In the interim, however, the staff, parents and children had invested a huge amount of hope and faith in what their new schools might look like. And this, of course, took place when the schools were losing up to 1,000 student-hours per week, as the kids were sent home due to leaking roofs, broken boilers and a host of other physical problems. Sadly, the new Coalition Government scrapped the investment that had been promised to the schools and has made no other plans for what will happen. It was like a child promised a visit to the zoo that had to be cancelled who was told just that—the bald facts, with no lollipop and no vision of when another visit could be planned. The result was predictable anger.
These cuts necessitated by Britain's economic quagmire have affected other areas as well. For instance, Newark has a proud tradition of administering justice to its own miscreants via our magistrates and local courts.When Justice Department cuts resulted in the axing of Newark Magistrates' Court, I was deeply surprised because of the town's relative isolation. Now those who have to appear in front of a court must travel almost two hours by public transport to Nottingham, witnesses and accused sometimes having to share the same busses. When someone is sent to prison, that individual is no longer incarcerated in Lincoln, but serves his or her time in Nottingham. That in itself is not the issue, but it does make visiting hellishly difficult for the prisoner's family and dependents.
Despite the challenges of our times, the mixture of characters in this part of the country is unique. The average Newarker is a delightful combination of resilience, cheerfulness, common sense and enormous good manners. This actually makes canvassing during elections quite difficult, because very few people are willing to tell me that they won't vote for me. I come back with canvass cards that show 90 percent favoring my party; sadly that isn't reflected when people go to the polls!
Combined with this wonderful mixture of characteristics goes a very strong independence of mind and spirit. The romantic in me tells me it's because we live on the edge of Sherwood Forest, with its strong, maverick traditions and a love for outlaws! What it does make for, though, is for a set of people who will largely stand on their own two feet.
That's why, for instance, the Polish community has been so successful in this town. The headquarters of the Free Polish Air Force was established here during the Second World War. Newark contains the largest Polish military cemetery in the UK, and the Poles remain an honored and welcomed part of our community. For instance, the Mayor's Mace Bearers are traditionally of Polish birth or Polish background. And we have had a mayor whose first language is Polish. On the back of this relationship, many Polish immigrants have settled in Newark, and, in stark contrast to many other parts of the country, there has been no real friction. This is a considerable source of pride to me.
We also play host to a large Traveler community. Again, if you look back over the history of the region, fords and road junctions tend to attract travelling people, and as far as there is any permanence in such a way of life, Newark is it. So, caravans and horse-drawn carts are still a frequent sight in this town.
There has been enormous change to the local economy. I would still describe Newark as largely agricultural, but the number of people who are actually employed upon the land is remarkably small. British Sugar produces a substantial proportion of the nation's sugars and sweeteners from the many thousands of acres of sugar beet around. Such farms, while large, though, are not manpower-intensive. A large part of our local revenue springs from the land, but not many people are physically employed there.
Another source of pride is the local charity called the Newark Patriotic Fund. It exists to help the wounded from our wars as well as their families, of whom we have a depressingly large number. If we want to raise money, the volunteers have only to stand in the center of Newark and sell wristbands to achieve an overwhelmingly generous response. The most humbling thing I've noticed is that the more ordinary, the less privileged the appearance of anyone whom you ask to give money, the more you are likely to get!
On reflection, I would describe Newark as a little bit of old England with a remarkably successful twist of the 21st century. When you're next in this part of Britain, please come visit us. You will see and meet some of the most resilient and entrepreneurial people in Britain. All of the traditions that saw the Civil War decided here continue and I, for one, am proud to call myself a Newarker.

State Water Resources Research Institute Program
Project ID: 2008HI231B
Title: Modeling of Humidification-Dehumidification (HDH) Seawater Desalination Systems Driven by Solar Energy
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 3/01/2008
End Date: 2/28/2009
Congressional District: First
Focus Categories: Water Supply
Keywords: freshwater supply, seawater desalination, humidification-dehumidification
Principal Investigator: Qu, Weilinbr
Federal Funds: $ 20,725
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $ 33,732
Abstract: A relatively new desalination process called humidification-dehumidification (HDH) is proposed as a feasible solution to the freshwater shortage problem in Hawaii. HDH operates under near ambient pressure and low temperature and can be driven by renewable solar energy as well as a variety of low-grade (low-temperature) thermal energy sources including low pressure condensing steam from a steam power plant, waste heat from a combustion engine, and waste heat from an oil refinery. While energy sources such as electricity and high-grade hydrocarbon-based thermal energy could be expensive because of Hawaii's geographical location, there are abundant solar radiation and low-grade thermal energy sources around the islands. Therefore, HDH water desalination driven by renewable solar energy or low-grade waste heat may constitute a viable future supplemental water source to Hawaii that is both cost-effective and energy-efficient. In the proposed work, theoretical modeling approach will be used to develop a fundamental understanding of the various thermal/fluid transport processes in small-scale HDH water desalination systems driven by solar energy.

Infynit Blog
Our blog is a great source of information for the entire media production community in Austin, TX. We believe in sharing our knowledge and experiences as we promote the arts in Austin through the medium of video. Check out our blog and contribute your knowledge which will help Austin become the destination city for modern video production. We are the Live Music Capital of the World and video is our medium to promote this claim!!
The Infynit Hour Live
Every Tuesday from 10-11 p.m. CST
Time Warner/Grande Cable Channel 10
Watch live video from infynithour's channel on Justin.tv
Watch Austin's only live television show that promotes filmmakers, photographers, and musicians every Tuesday at 10 p.m. Our goal is to give Austin artists an outlet to showcase their art. The reason we started the show was to promote the arts in Austin and show the world why it's called the Live Music Capital of the World.
The show has become so successful that we now have touring musicians from other states that appear on the show. Austin artists and musicians are still given top priority but it's hard for us to say no to out of town artists. We want to help all artists as much as we can. Austin's live music scene generates more than a billion dollars every year and the musicians and artists should be supported wholeheartedly. The Infynit Media Group has been producing the show since 2006 and we have broadcasted more than 150 shows since it's inception. We also stream live on the internet thanks to Dave Rutledge. This enables the entire world to see Austin artists performing on a weekly basis.
The format of the show is as follows:
a. The first 10 minutes of the show is dedicated to filmmakers. We interview the filmmaker and allow them to show a short film or a portion of a full length feature.
b. The next 10-15 minutes of the show is dedicated to photographers. We usually interview the photographers but the majority will simply submit their photographs and we use the pictures to create a slide show. We broadcast the slide live which includes background instrumental music and allows the viewer to observe their work.
c. The last 30-35 minutes of the show is dedicated to musicians. We have a 3 camera setup -- jib, handheld, and a mobile tripod -- with a director cutting in the control booth. Everyone has a minimum of 5 years camera experience. Each band can usually perform about 6-7 songs and have their entire performance broadcast and recorded for future use. Check out some past performances from the Infynit Hour below.

Panel to Explore College-Community Partnership as Midwest Model
Event kicks off Albion College presidential inauguration festivities
September 2, 2014
Listen to panelist Richard Longworth on WMUK, 102.1 FM, Kalamazoo
The community of Albion as well as overarching ideas about community in 21st-century America will feature prominently throughout Albion College's three-day "Celebrate Albion!" event September 11-13, starting with a panel discussion of accomplished policy experts representing Albion, the state of Michigan, and the Great Lakes region.
"Albion Tomorrow: The Liberal Arts College as Partner in Community Revitalization," presented by the College's Gerald R. Ford Institute for Leadership in Public Policy and Service, is a free and open-to-the-public discussion scheduled for Thursday, September 11, at 7 p.m. ET in the College's Towsley Lecture Hall. It serves as the lead-in event to the inauguration of Mauri A. Ditzler as Albion College's 16th president on Friday, September 12.
Comprising the panel will be John Austin, president of the Michigan State Board of Education; Richard Longworth, senior fellow at The Chicago Council on Global Affairs; Jocelyn Sargent, program officer at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation; Peggy Sindt, '73, president of the Albion Economic Development Corporation; and Byron White, vice president for university engagement at Cleveland State University.
"This blue-ribbon panel of experts in community and economic development will talk about ways towns and their liberal arts colleges can best work together for the betterment of both," said Ford Institute Director Patrick McLean, who will introduce the panel. "It is the kind of conversation that communities all across the Midwest should be having."
Ditzler, in a recent interview with the Battle Creek Enquirer, said Albion College and most other private residential liberal arts institutions established on the 19th-century Midwest frontier were founded for the same reasons: "They were all founded to make sure the communities in which they were built would thrive financially, have good quality of living, have an educational system that worked, a health-care system that worked, to make sure democracy worked in those towns. We have a moral responsibility to our founders to still think about adhering to that."

When Trent sneaks into the Dixon building, he "talks" to his hand, and the glove covering it is a much lighter shade than in all subsequent shots, where it is a dark brown verging on black.
In the opening narration, the word "Sumerican" is used by mistake instead of Sumerian. This was due to a typing error during production of the scripts.
Control Voice: (opening narration) Through all the legends of ancient peoples--Assyrian, Babylonian, Sumerian, Semite--runs the saga of the Eternal Man, the one who never dies, called by various names in various times, but historically known as Gilgamesh, the one who has never tasted death...the hero who strides through the centuries...
Trent: I was born ten days ago. A full-grown man, born ten days ago. I woke on a street of this city. I don't know who I am, or where I've been, or where I'm going. Someone wiped my memories clean. And they tracked me down and tried to kill me. Why? Who are you? I ran. I managed to escape them the first time. Then the hand, my hand, told me what to do.
Consuelo: I'm sorry, it's just that I can't stand violence.
Trent: When it's gone this far, it's more than just violence.
Battle: I'm prepared to die.
Trent: How prepared? Why not give yourself a couple of minutes?
Battle: We all knew we would die when we came on this mission. It was worth it.
Trent: You can stay alive in this time.
Battle: I don't care about that. Helping my race is more important.
Trent: Bargain week on patriots.
Battle: Call it what you like. I'm not afraid to die.
Trent: Really? Then why are you whispering? You Kyben were always super patriots, especially when you bombed Earth from ten miles out. How does your patriotism sit with burning women and children alive?
Battle: That's war.
Trent: So's this
Trent: (referring to death) I was in a dark place. Someone was calling my name, over and over, down in a long corridor.
Trent: To save all of Man, I have to become a killer.
Control Voice: (closing narration) Like the Eternal Man of Babylonian legend, like Gilgamesh, one thousand plus two hundred years stretches before Trent. Without love. Without friendship. Alone: neither man nor machine, waiting. Waiting for the day he will be called to free the humans who gave him mobility. Movement, but not life.
Robert Culp also provides the "voice" of the glass hand.
1966 WGA Award (TV) Winner, this episode garnered Harlan Ellison a Writers Guild of America award for best writing for a TV anthology, any length.
The building where this was filmed, is the Bradbury in Los Angeles, and was used for the cat and mouse game between Deckard and Roy in Blade Runner. It has appeared in quite a few other movies.
Ellison originally discussed doing a sequel for the TV series Babylon 5, which would have shown Trent coming to the station while still pursued by the Kyben. (The title that was announced was "Demon on the Run." Ellison says that this was never the title) These plans never materialized.

If Kesler was dealt to Pittsburgh, Edler was going to Boston.
According to http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/20...75K/story.html
Before Thursdays game against Washington, general manager Peter Chiarelli disclosed on NESN that Philadelphia was assuming half of Andrej Meszaross $4 million annual cap hit.
Thats because the Bruins, prior to Wednesdays 3 p.m. trade deadline, believed they needed the space for another acquisition.
President Cam Neely told 98.5 The Sports Hub the Bruins had a deal in principle for a player with term remaining on his contract. That trade was shelved, Neely said, because another deal did not happen.
According to a team source, the Bruins trade fizzled because an expected transaction between Vancouver and Pittsburgh failed to take place.
The Penguins had been pursuing Ryan Kesler. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Penguins were offering Brandon Sutter, first- and third-round picks, and a defensive prospect.
Once the Canucks moved Kesler to Pittsburgh, they would have proceeded with their trade with the Bruins. The Bruins target could not be confirmed. But its likely they were targeting smooth-moving left-shot defenseman Alex Edler.

You Are Here: Home » News From NINDS » Proceedings »
Now in their 6th year, the Morris K. Udall Centers of Excellence continue to pursue cutting edge research on a variety of topics related to Parkinson's disease (PD), including the identification of genes that may be involved in PD, testing potentially useful drug candidates and other therapeutics, developing better animal models, and determining the disease's underlying pathways. The success of these basic investigations and their relevance to human disease has the Centers poised to "translate" their findings into clinical research studies.
This progress continues to be enhanced by annual meetings at which investigators from each Center share their facility's most promising research, often before the results are published in the scientific literature. This process has led to a number of successful collaborations among the Udall scientists. This year's meeting was hosted by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), which funds the Centers, at the Renaissance Washington Hotel in Washington, D.C. on November 30- December 2, 2004. NINDS is a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Today, genetic investigations play a major part in Parkinson's disease research. "Ten years ago, scientists hunting for the causes of Parkinson's disease were focused primarily on the environment. Then, in 1995, an NIH-sponsored workshop resulted in an incredibly effective collaboration between a research group that had collected a large kindred with Parkinson's patients and an outstanding genetics group that resulted in the discovery of the first gene. Because of that meeting and collaboration, genetic studies have become one of the most significant areas in Parkinson's research," observed NINDS Director Story C. Landis, Ph.D. "I'm delighted that this atmosphere of sharing is continuing to benefit Parkinson's research," she continued, referring to several collaborations among Udall scientists reported at the meeting and the very positive interactions between the Parkinson's voluntary groups.
The meeting began with a brief reception the evening of November 30. The next day, representatives from the Centers offered presentations on work being done in their facilities. The morning's talks, which focused on discoveries adding to our understanding of Parkinson's disease, included such diverse topics as genetics, molecular mechanisms, epidemiology, and animal models. Evolving knowledge of the circuits involved in Parkinson's was described. Investigators described research on the role of Lewy bodies, which may prove to be protective, and neurotoxins that may be involved in the cause of Parkinson's.
A working lunch was followed by more talks, this time related to the development of new treatments. The presentations ranged from pharmaceutical studies of GDNF to surgical approaches, such as deep brain stimulation, to exercise. Research on stem and encapsulated cells were presented. Alternative delivery methods, such as pumps, and treatments for symptoms, such as sleep disorders, were also addressed. Other talks described efforts to develop biomarkers that would be inexpensive and easy to administer, yet able to detect Parkinson's early in the disease course. The day ended with a dinner hosted by the voluntary agencies.
The next day, attendees divided into three breakout sessions on brain banking, emerging technologies, and animal models.
At the break out session on brain banking for PD, participants focused on the needs for coordination and infrastructure. Suggestions were made as to how the NIH could help by building an informational webpage that could serve the needs of both patients/families and physicians/researchers. It was agreed that standards, as developed in the minimum data set for PD, should be adhered to and that the Parkinson's Disease Data Organizing Center (PD-DOC) would be an appropriate venue for coordination. It was also suggested that groups outside of the Udall Centers that have successful PD brain banking programs should be included.
The well-attended emerging technologies session discussed promising technologies that could be developed and used to accelerate research progress in Parkinson's disease. The discussions were broadly based with an emphasis on surfacing new ides. Technologies discussed include: RNAi, Photo Laser Scanning Micro-Cellular imaging, targeted drug delivery, long-term recording and chemical sensor probes, susceptibility genes, protein arrays, high throughput protein assays, nanotechnology, informatics for sharing and management of data (PD- DOC), imaging, biomarkers, neuroprosthetics, and trophic factors.
The third breakout session focused on animal models of PD. Models discussed include flies, worms, fish, rodents, and non-human primates. There was a discussion of the utility of finding an "ideal" animal model of PD, but the participants felt strongly that it would not be productive to focus on finding such a model because some models may be better suited to answer some research questions than others. Participants agreed that the evaluation of therapies in non-human primates continues to play an important role in translational research in PD. It was recommended that guidelines, or standards, for the use of the various models be published on the web. NIH policy on the sharing of model organisms, so critical to progress in PD research, was reviewed and the lack of availability of some models discussed.
In the afternoon, the participants came together to further discuss the PD-DOC. The PD-DOC representatives gave a brief overview of how the data organizing center is intended to work, and also took suggestions and commentary from the floor as to what some of the most important data elements should be. There was also discussion and summarization of the recommendations from the breakout sessions. At the close of the meeting, representatives of the voluntary agencies were invited to join NINDS staff for an overview of the National Institutes of Health Parkinson's disease portfolio.
A number of organizations provided additional support for the Udall meeting, including The Parkinson Alliance, the American Parkinson Disease Association, the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, the National Parkinson Foundation, the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, and People Living With Parkinson's. The NINDS is grateful for their generous contributions.

Acorn Rug
by Chandra
At A Glance:
It's sort of hard to understand why anyone would describe a rug as "yummy," but that's just what the Acorn Rug is. It's yummy. Luxuriously soft, long-tufted enough to be attractively ruffled. The Chandra Acorn Rug is textured so that when it's ruffled slight color variations result. Hand-tufted from 100 percent New Zealand wool, and made in India.
What's To Like:
- This fine Chandra rug is the kind that makes bare feet happy. Warm summer days or chilly winter evenings, we're there. It's even better than a warm pair of slippers.
- Textured rugs have a special kind of attraction for us. Not only do they look cool, but they also enhance the look of the entire room's materials, whether we're talking about wood, concrete, plastic, or your cat.
What's Not to Like:
If you want a rug that can be easily vacuumed (key word: easily - any rug can be cleaned in some way) you might want to take a pass on the Acorn Rug. Don't worry - there are plenty of others to choose from on our site.
The Bottom Line:
Roll around on this rug, dig your toes into it, wow your friends with it, look at it every time you come into the room. The Acorn Rug by Chandra is a textural, beautiful area rug with plenty of built-in warmth.
- Rugs come in your choice of size: 5' x 7'6" or 7'9" x 10'6"
- 100 percent New Zealand wool
- Hand tufted
- Made in India
Materials & Measurements
Hand-woven New Zealand Wool

BMWotD — 2001 X5
Well, it seems my better half has caught the BMW bug; she's ready to offload the Ford Freestar van we've been driving for several years and has decided she'd like a BMW. I'm still trying to grasp the awesomeness of that; I knew I married well, but… Wow.

Great SUV – Fun to Drive – Peppy – Like new condition – no accidents or body putty – rust free – garaged
$7500.00 or best reasonable offer.
The seller obviously doesn't know an I6 from a V6 (BMW has never built a V6 engine), but aside from that seems to know that this is a BMW built for the enthusiast… It looks to been special ordered with all the right boxes checked; Sport Package, 3.0 liter M54BB30 engine, 5-speed transmission, factory towing package, self-leveling suspension… I've corresponded a bit with the owner; sounds like he's the second owner and has all the maintenance records since the car was new. No rust, no accidents, clean paint and interior… Looks like a great car. But considering that the NADA retail price is just a tad over $10,000 (with the optional equipment added) makes me wonder why he's got it priced at $7,000.
We'll have a look at the car on Saturday, if it's still available. In talking with the seller it didn't sound like people were beating down his door wanting to look at it, probably because of the 5-speed. I'm always amazed that so many people think a manual transmission in a car is a negative; when you consider that a manual is far more reliable and will return better gas mileage than an automatic, it seems a no-brainer, especially on a vehicle with 150,000 miles on it. But I guess the point and shoot mentality is pretty much the norm in the US today.

[…] How cool; a registry for three-pedal X5's! I've already done the intro thing (here) but I might as well add mine to the list also. It's a 2001 3.0/5-speed with the sport package. Since bringing it home a couple weeks ago I've narrowed down a few issues with the rear end; subframe bushings are toast (will be replaced soon) and the rear wheels have out-of-spec camber & toe, so I'll be replacing the wear items back there and have it aligned. One thing that I'm still researching is the shifter; when in neutral, instead of finding "home" between 3rd & 4th it tends to swing over toward 5th. Not a huge issue but it sometimes results in inadvertent 2nd to 5th shifts. I'm thinking maybe some of the bushings in the shifter are worn, but… More photos (stolen from the CL ad) are here. […]

Office Burglar Targets Laptops
This suspect is believed to have stolen 18 laptops since mid-May.
The Philadelphia Police Department and the Center City District have received reports of a suspect who has entered three office buildings without authorization and stolen more than 18 laptops since mid-May.
Two thefts were reported to have occurred on Saturdays. On May 12th the suspect took 3 laptops and on May 18th he is suspected of stealing 9 laptops.
An additional burglary was reported in the early morning hours of May 23rd and an individual wearing the same clothes from the previous burglaries was captured on surveillance video and is believed to have stolen 6 laptops from an office suite.
The suspect is also believed to have tried to return to each of the buildings he burglarized on several occasions in the last few days but was turned away by security when he could not produce identification nor identify a tenant he intended to visit. The suspect appears to have knowledge of several office buildings and has used back passages to gain entry to office areas.
The suspect entered two buildings between 5:00 AM – 6:00 AM and in the third burglary he entered the office suite at 2:00 PM.
If you suspect an office suite has been burglarized, please contact Philadelphia Police immediately at 911 and don't disturb the scene – you may be destroying valuable evidence.
Suspect Description:
- He is described as an African American male, approximately 6' ft. and 200 lbs.
- In one case the suspect was wearing a blue warm-up jacket with white & grey trim, white & cream colored pants and white & tan "boat shoes".
- In the second theft the suspect was wearing a red baseball cap, warmup jacket, yellow shirt, blue jeans and "boat shoes".
- In both incidents the suspect carried a laptop bag or duffle bag with which to hide the stolen laptops.
Please alert tenants and security personnel to this pattern and take precautions to secure offices and computer quipment.
Companies are encouraged to maintain a record of equipment serial numbers and photographs which will help police identify the rightful owner of any recovered stolen equipment.
Please contact Lt. Patrick Doherty, Central Detective Division, Special Investigations Unit at (215) 305-7181 if you have any information regarding this suspect or similar thefts.
If you see anyone fitting the description or resembling the suspect in the photos please call 911 immediately.
Thank you.

There is a lot of talk about Israel as the State for Jews being bad for Jews worldwide, engendering increasing anti-Israel as well as anti-Jewish sentiment, but I submit that it is primarily bad for Jewish Power, the so-called Zionist Power Configuration (ZPC), insofar as it throws an unwelcome spotlight on it. There have always been subscribers to the Protocols but until relatively recently they have been easily dismissed if not ostracized as anti-semitic conspiracy theorists, and Jews have managed to restrict the gentile book-keeping of influential Jews to counting the Jews on the Nobel Prize winners list.
Israel's treatment of the Palestinians whose land they took over has been beyond despicable from the very beginnings of the state yet a well-organized hasbara has managed to inculcate into the minds of the Western Goyim the dichotomy: Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims = terrorists vs Israeli Jews = peace-loving, long-suffering victims. Not so anymore. Israel is no longer seen as even a "legitimate" state but a rogue nuclear power, a racist, expansionist war criminal and war monger. Of more concern, in attracting scrutiny of its successful flouting of international laws, it has led to an examination of what exactly allows it to act with complete impunity. It has exposed the lines of power that move the governments of the major world powers, like puppets on a string, to act as its enablers, indeed as its agents. The lines are now seen by more people than ever before to lead to the jewish lobbies, to the ZPC, which does not reside in Israel, but permeates the power centers of the US and the UK, and not only.
The ZPC needs Israel, the flag under which the sayanim can be rallied to march in lockstep (notwithstanding the minor kvetchings that serve to depict "plurality" and "diversity" of Jewish opinion) and to do its work in the "diaspora." Without Israel the very useful concept of "diaspora" could not exist and the Jews might take it into their heads that they are nationals and citizens of their own countries first, foremost and last. Israel is a boon for the ZPC.
But what kind of Israel would serve the ZPC best? Definitely not the one in existence. The Palestinian "problem" has not only refused to go away in more than six decades, it has in fact grown due to Israel's egregious actions (and its lack of action) into an impossible to hide or paper over hideous contradiction of Israel's hasbara posters of itself. More and more people, organizations and governments worldwide are reacting to the reality staring them in the face, and concerted Jewish blackmail or cajoling is not making them back down any more. Israel is a bane to the ZPC.
These facts are recognized by the likes of big ZPC movers and shakers like Soros and by new Jewish organizations like J Street, who seek to address them, while the old guard — AIPAC, ADL and its dershes refuse to do so, not only because they think it can still be all made to go away with the old "Anti-semitism!" cudgel, but also because, on a personal level, they fear the new gang would eventually make them unclasp their paws from the high branch on which they have been perched for so long.
The ZPC needs an Israel it can both wave to the sayanim as the heart-touching symbol, the call to arms, the reproach, the unity symbol, the house that Yad Vashem built, as well as a world-wide sellable story of the success of Jews–a nation like any other (just a little bit more so…), peace-loving (say Shalom loudly and say it often), long-suffering, democratic, moral and just.
If that is what the ZPC needs then they must think that Israel is run by complete idiots. Their idiots but catastrophic idiots nonetheless. Their inability to solve the Palestine problem in the simplest and most advantageous way is proof of it.
What would happen if Israel became one state legally, not just militarily and, where it really counts, de facto, as it is now, and if the Palestinian refugees who wished to return would be allowed to do so? The Jews may become a minority in Israel. So? Is it a problem for the ZPC and indeed for jews in the US and the UK that they are a tiny minority there? Why would it be a problem in Israel? The "demographic bomb" nonsense ignores the reality of Jewish Power. Were Jews to become a minority in a putative Palestine-Israel state, their status might well emerge elevated for all practical and political purposes. They would become the minority to watch for and protect like nobody's business. What's not to like in this?
Attractions for the Israeli Jews in the new Formerly Known as Israel (FKI) state: they can have a Jewish Lobby there, and an ADL too! Jewish historians will be busy writing a Revised Revisionist history, recounting their ethnic cleansing in the FKI state during which, say, 600,000 Jews disappeared. They can have it all, the same, yet new and cleaned up.
Most of all, the highly inconvenient spotlight on the Jewish Power worldwide could be turned off and everything would be business as usual again quietly. Critics of the ZPC, of any and all its aspects, from the international banking to the media ownership and the political levers of power in the governments of the major powers will more easily be made into crass "anti-semites" again.
Israel could stop being a bane for the ZPC if only the ZPC "deciders" were really as smart as they are supposed to be, according to the ethnic hype. This is just a Goyische opinion but it is offered freely to zionist plagiarists.

It would help a lot if you send the symbolic notation with a description of these things.
Are you referring to Coulomb's law for Electrostatic Forces (rather than electric potential)? As far as I know, there is both a gravitational potential and an electrical potential, neither of which look like the universal law of gravitation.
Coulomb's law for electrostatic forces:
F = k[Qq/r^2]
where F is electrostatic force, k is a constant (9 x 10^9 according to text on my lap), Q and q are values of two different charges, and r is the distance between the charges.
Newton's law for gravity:
F = G[Mm/r^2]
where F is gravitational force, G is a gravitation constant, M and m re the two different masses, and r is the distance between them.
If it something else you have in mind, I don't know.
You will probably get better results if you can post explicit formulae.
There is no sense going on if this is not what you are looking for.

Kayser lingerie brand slammed for sexist Tweet
- From: news.com.au
- January 09, 2013
LINGERIE brand Kayser has been slammed for blaming rape victims after it tweeted that women "should know what to expect" when they're invited on a date.
This morning Kayser tweeted: "If a guy invites you over to watch a movie, you should know what they're expecting."
The tweet has been met with hostility online, with people taking to the social media service to air their outrage.
Writer Clementine Ford replied to the tweet: "And if you'd decided to have sex with your friend, you know... she should have expected that."
"Maybe they're expecting you to watch Shawshank Redemption. You're right. Be safe."
Writer Helen Razer tweeted: "I will never again purchase your garments. And baby, I go through hosiery like there's no tomorrow."
"Seriously. This is insane. DO you believe that women have no sexual agency and men cannot articulate their own desires?"
Twitter user @JointDestroyer wrote: "I will not stand for sexism and misogyny from the #Kaysermaleinsider! Not now, not ever."
Another user @kedjie wrote "It's really disappointing @kayserlingerie have stopped to sexist crap like that. Ladies, any tips on finding a new bra company."
User @PixieKath wrote "Enlighten us please, what are they 'expecting' @jointdestroyer".
The tweet was made at 11.30 this morning.
Kayser's social media accounts are run by an external company that declined to be named.
The social media manager told News.com.au that the tweets were posted by a male intern and that the tweet was totally meant to be "tongue in cheek."
She said that they had been trying to delete the tweet all day - which at 4.00pm was still active on their Twitter account but had not had any success.
When asked what other way people could interpret the tweet, the media manger told News.com.au they thought it meant that "if a guy invites you over to watch a movie it just means that he likes you."
"The wording came across mistakenly," the social media manager said. "Obviously I can see how it was taken in that contex, given the short character limits it's how it came across."
The spokesperson said they were concerned about how the tweet would be interpreted by its customers, particularly teenagers that purchase their lingerie.
"We will be rectifying the situation immediately," the social media manager said.
The tweet has now been removed, and was replaced about 5pm with another that apologises for the comment, and giving it the hashtag "#honestmistake".

The politically correct are starting to get even dumber.

Bravo to all the twitter warriors, that felt the need to voice their opinion so strongly. Interesting most were all self professed "writers" and feminists.
Frank Posted at 2:10 PM January 11, 2013
The lingerie models and advertisments don't really leave much to the imagination...i mean teenagers buying lingerie now? what for? well lemme see lingerie is used to umm attract males to have OH GOD sex? HOW MISOGONIST! next thing you know bra companies and g-string makers will have to watch what they say! and what about Ansell (condom maker) are they supposed to watch it when they tweet about their product? All I have to say is TOUGHEN UP PRINCESSES!

On if Jake Roberts was known as a tough guy backstage in WWE: "No...he was known more for his uncanny ring psychology and his verbal skills among other things. Great mind for the business.

On rumors of Austin vs. Triple H at WrestleMania 30: "I know of no creative plans for Austin vs. HHH whatsoever and if I did know and it was confidential I would not divulge it. I'd surmise it is another attempt to increase internet traffic.
On the belief that Paul Heyman is hurting Brock Lesnar's character by not letting him speak: "Disagree. Heyman helps Lesnar immensely by keeping Lesnar alive on TV when Brock is not there.
On if The Rock will ever wrestle again: "I'd suggest Rock hasn't wrestled his last match but I also don't think that he will have many more. Hopefully one more. TBD"

Behind the Brand: The San Clemente surf scene of the '80s was the epicenter of California's progressive movement at the time, and Cole Simler grew up smack dab in the middle of it. While grommets like Matt Archbold, Dino Andino, Christian and Nathan Fletcher, Shane and Gavin Beschen, and Chris Ward were all ascending the amateur ranks, his paternal role in this tight-knit crew materialized as he took up shaping, working with and amid esteemed San Clemente-based builders like Midget Smith, Chris McElroy, Timmy Patterson, and Terry Martin. But he didn't start his own label until he moved north, to San Luis Obispo, where he attended college. The variety of waves and surfers he found on the Central Coast gave Simler the opportunity to enhance and expand his entire breadbasket of designs, especially guns, longboards, and hybrids. "It was cool," he says, "because if you made a 6'8" or a 7'0" up there, you'd actually have waves to ride it in." That's also why he stayed for more than 10 years, where his label became one of the biggest in the region. When he finally moved back home in 2000, he immediately fell back in with his motley crew. Nathan Fletcher approached him in early 2000 looking for more speed, so after a little trial and error with twin fins, Cole began updating the long-forgotten four-fin. The results of his tinkering were fantastic, but Nathan was still breaking boards in vast numbers upon landing his big airs, so Simler added corrugated rail channels to increase structural integrity. Today, his updated quad concept and the rail channels are in widespread use. Cole, meanwhile, is still quietly evolving designs by maintaining a steady working relationship with several pros, including Jordy Smith, Ryan Carlson, Matt Archbold, and more.
About his Most Popular Models: As a central player in sparking four-fin renewal, it's not surprising to find that quads comprise roughly 40 percent of his business. "The bottom line is they're great boards for a lot of people." Yet Cole's high-performance shortboards, step-up quads, and round-nose fish like The Grasshoper keep him plenty occupied.
Taking the Pulse:"The whole four-fin thing has helped us learn a lot more about the importance of fin design and fin placement. Boards will always be refined, but fins are going to be where the real advances take place."Shop Talk
Which design project are you having the most fun with right now? "Probably whichever one I shaped last. Customers are so much more open-minded than say, five or ten years ago. I've been doing a lot of high-performance (not retro) twin-fins lately. A lot of kids have never even ridden a twin, so it's fun to see them trip out on how fast they are, and how easy they are to do airs on. We also have a trunk board, which is a short little disc with a Bonzer concave that runs the whole length of the bottom. It's pretty exciting how much variety there is nowadays."
