Dracaena Gold Star Floor Plant
Lush and lovely, the Dracaena Gold Star is a top choice among houseplants thanks to its easy care needs. The soft, blade-shaped leaves fan out gracefully in a mass of elegance and flair. The name Dracaena comes from the Greek "drakaina", or female dragon, evoking a sense of pageantry and mythical beauty in any home or office decor.

Rated 2.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by Big Papi NO i bought it 4 baseball and they said it was "hurricane" proof but 5 weeks later it fell from 3 inches of rain. I am still trying to fix it but the pieces break inside each other. March 24, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Robbie Piching Machine This is an awesome product and works perfect but you do need a piching machine that can throw 70mph at least and can reach 70-75 feet.I have a zooka and it throws 10 storys high and piches 90mph and we got this cage to test the heaters out and to get our money out of our zooka and so far its doing awesome.

Intel Corp. said Thursday that its Thunderbolt interconnection technology will be adopted by Canon Corp., a maker of consumer electronics, including digital cameras, printers, projectors and other gear. At present it is known that Canon's video equipment will support the technology previously known as Light Peak.
"We are excited about Thunderbolt technology and feel it will bring new levels of performance and simplicity to the video creation market," said Hiroo Edakubo, group executive of Canon's video products group.
Intel said that Canon "joins a growing list of companies looking to build products using Thunderbolt technology". At present the list of Thunderbolt supporters is hardly too long and includes Apple, Canon, LaCie, Promise, Seagate, Western Digital as well as a number of software companies that develop audio and video applications.
Previously known as Light Peak, Thunderbolt technology supports two low-latency communications protocols - PCI Express for data transfer and DisplayPort for displays. Thunderbolt technology works on data streams in both directions, at the same time, so users get the benefit of full bandwidth in both directions, over a single cable. With the two independent channels, a full 10Gb/s of bandwidth can be provided for the first device in the chain of the devices. All Thunderbolt technology devices share a common Mini DisplayPort connector. Intel's Thunderbolt controllers interconnect a PC and other devices, transmitting and receiving packetized traffic for both PCIe and DisplayPort protocols and thus makers need to develop or use additional controllers to make their products compatible with the TB I/O interface.
Not a lot of devices these days can take advantage of Thunderbolt. Only external graphics cards, external solid-state drives as well as RAID-based storage solutions, professional equipment and some other applications need 10Gb/s demand.

Gophers give Tubby Smith 500th career victory
Minnesota never trails in road victory
LOS ANGELES - No. 21 Minnesota 71, USC 57: Andre Hollins led four Golden Gophers in double figures with 14 points as visiting Minnesota gave coach Tubby Smith his 500th career victory.
Minnesota (10-1) scored the game's first nine points and never trailed. It led 38-26 at the half as Smith became the 19th active Division I coach to reach 500 victories and the Golden Gophers ran their winning streak to six.
The Gophers got 13 points and 11 rebounds from Rodney Williams and a dozen points off the bench from Trevor Mbakwe. Joe Coleman added 10 for Minnesota, which shot 41.8 percent from the field.
USC (3-6) was led by Omar Oraby with 15 points but lost for the fifth straight time. The Trojans haven't won since they beat Texas in overtime on Nov. 20.
USC cut the deficit to 61-52 with five minutes to play, but the Gophers got a big steal by Austin Hollins and Andre Hollins followed with a dunk. USC never got closer than nine the rest of the way.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Oraby was 7-for-9 from the field. ... Byron Wesley had 13 points for the Trojans. ...Minnesota's lone loss was to second-ranked Duke. ...It was the second true road game for the Golden Gophers. They won at Florida State 77-68. ...Mo Walker did not play for the Gophers. The 6-10 sophomore had played in the previous 10 games and was on the bench.

I'm a health professional, been i the Territory for over a year I'm super laid back, and easy to get along with. I love a catch up and a bit of a yarn, i love any form of exercise especially hiking and bushwalks, and don't mind a beer at times. I love playing the guitar (acoustic), fishing, camping and a little bit of gaming on the side, so a bit of an all rounder/good egg. Whilst I enjoy cheap places to live, i also appreciate new places and what goes along with it.

I also go out every now and then but in saying that I'm also respective and quiet, I'm also a clean and tidy person and I don't mind cooking every now and then. I don't watch t.v as much as I prefer music so I wont be in the way as much either.. If you are looking for some one that fits my description to move in, please get in touch. Cheers, Rob

Hi, I am currently in Perth and have been living here for the last twelve years. For the majority of my time in Perth I've been working as a musician and a sales assistant in a music store. I now wish to make a rather big life change by having a break from the music industry in Perth and moving to Darwin to study Humanitarian and community studies at Charles Darwin University. I'm a very healthy and environmentally conscious person. I like to read a lot, listen to all types of wonderful music and keep fit. I'm rather chilled and quiet for a lot of the time but I do really appreciate socializing and getting to know interesting people. I'm very interested in finding a place/room which supports a comfortable environment for studying. I hope to secure a place before the first semester which commences on the 27th of Feb.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $13.62 (50% off)
Very affordable and works just as good as expensive formulas
Posted by AptekaNaturalis on Jun 27, 2013
This probiotic definately works. 'Good bacteria' arrived live and active. I experienced positive changes just after taking first capsule: less bloating, overall improvement in digestion Probiotics of Bifidum group should help with constipation,Lactobacillus rhamnosus will relieve symptoms of urogenital yeast infections My adivice is to take 1 capsule 30-6o minutes before breakfast on empty stomach, avoid hot drinks. It has 7 billions of 8 different strains in each 1 capsule so one a day should be enough. However, you can increase to 2-3 capsules a day if you are taking antibiotics. Allow 2-3 hours between taking antibiotics and probiotics. Another good point- capsules are relatively small and easy to swallow so you don't need to break a capsule which prevents 'good bacteria' from being destroyed by bile and gastric juices. Very young children should take 1 capsule every other day. And finally, include in your diet fermented foods such as sourkraut, kefir,yogurts to help maintain healthy balance of beneficial bacteria that you received after taking this probiotic supplement
Seems to work, even at this low dose
Posted by Reviewer2631717 on Jun 22, 2015
Perhaps this will explain why this one seems to be as effective as others we have tried: Our local hospital analysed a selection of probiotics selected from local stores. Amazingly 2 of them had absolutely no living probiotics in them and ALL of the rest of them had extremely small %'s of probiotics: instead of 16Billion, only 70 million! None of the companies had anywhere ne4ar the advertised potency.
The price is good
Posted by Reviewer2321661 on May 11, 2014
This is good if you don't have serious digestive problem. But if you want to take a probiotic to cure then this product is not strong enough. I also take Dr. Ohhira's Original Formula which has 900 billion in one soft gel which gives you instant effect. It is much more expensive but definitely works. PB8 is good for maintenance.
C. Moore
Posted by Reviewer2227846 on Oct 14, 2014
I have used PB 8 for years now, I am a type II diabetic, and I have not had any yeast infections since being on this product!
Similar to other probiotic products, but is not super great
Posted by Reviewer3255105 on Nov 20, 2011
This product is just so so, it works, but it just depends on your condition I think. I have used this product on and off for about three years. You may not see a significant difference in using it, but it just depends. If you are super deficient in probiotics then you might see a difference, but if you take probiotics everyday and are just looking for a change in brand, it is probably a good choice, but you know the results, your body is just being maintained, so I think it is a decent product.
gives me diarrhea
Posted by Reviewer1977119 on Mar 20, 2013
Does not really work as intended for me. Instead of making the stomach work, it gives me diarrhea.
I have used this for 10 years

This product keeps my body in balance. I get horrible yeast infections if I do not take acidophilus. I have tried a bunch of different brands, and this particular brand is the best.
Does not work
Posted by 5390956605972357086 on Jul 24, 2013
I've been taking these probiotics for two weeks and have not felt a difference. I thought if I increases the amount there would be a stronger affect on my body,but nothing. I will not order again.
Coincidence or not?
Posted by 4858189709635397656 on Aug 06, 2014
I thought I'd try this product to see if perhaps taking probiotics would help with my occasional nasty night-time visitor - acid reflux. I had twice been given a 30 day prescription for this problem, and it worked, but eventually the reflux would come back. From the time I started taking it to now, about 5 months later, I haven't had a single recurrence. Except for twice during the school holidays when my routine was disrupted and I didn't take it for several days. This is not medical evidence of course, but I take 2 a day, almost every day, and it seems to work for me.
Use until gone
Posted by Rena61 on Jan 31, 2016
Everyone can benefit from using probiotics a couple of times a year. Use until gone, don't try and save them, they will weaken in time. Just buy another bottle when you feel it's time to use them again. I did the "milk test" and these do have live cultures.

In Years Past
100 Years Ago
In 1913, Arthur Hainsworth, who conducted a small printing establishment in Jamestown, was arraigned before United States Commissioner Hazeltine on the serious charge of sending obscene literature through the mails. He was arrested on the complaint of Anthony Comstock of New York. Comstock was the famous anti-vice crusader. He had come to Jamestown and personally swore to the complaint. It was alleged that obscene printed matter was sent to a man in Spark Hill. This was a serious charge. The maximum penalty was a $5,000 fine or five years' imprisonment or both.
Buffalo's great automobile show would open at the Broadway auditorium at Broadway and Michigan streets, the evening of Jan. 27 and it would be run for the entire week. It would be the most elaborate and most comprehensive display of pleasure cars and accessories between New York and Chicago. This would be the 11th annual exposition and it was the biggest exhibit ever planned for Buffalo in point of number of exhibitors and the value of the cars and accessories to be shown. The use of the automobile had grown with the passing of each year and experts estimated that there were 1 million autos in use throughout the country and not the slightest indication that there would be a decrease in that number. In fact, the rapid improvements of the road system of the country, with the state connected from one end to the other in a web of improved roads, meant the use of automobiles would become greater as time passed.
75 Years Ago
In 1938, Niagara Falls was struggling in winter's icy grip. Love would get a mighty cold reception at this time of the year at Niagara Falls, N.Y., mecca of honeymooners. The rushing torrent was turned into a spectacle of icy grandeur by winter's frigid magic. Gigantic icicles hung from the rocks at the side and winds wafted frozen spray over the few hardy spectators who venture to the edge of the gorge. But the cold had not yet stilled the roar of the main stream.
An 18-year-old girl and a 57-year-old man were back beside warm home fires this day after nine days of wandering in the frigid woods of the northern Pennsylvania area near Smethport. The two, Florence Williams and C.C. Vandermark, a railroad worker, were found the previous day in a hunting lodge in a heavily forested district near Clermont by James Fuller, a trapper. They had been sought by searching parties since Jan. 10. Vandermark rejoined his 73-year-old wife and two children and Miss Williams returned to her family. Both lived at nearby Gardeau. Vandermark's wife said he had left home without an explanation and the Williams girl told her parents that she was going to a Sunday School meeting.
25 Years Ago
In 1988, Jamestown made it through 1987 without a homicide, the second consecutive year to do so, while rapes reported in the city decreased 50 percent to nine the past year from 18 in 1986. However, the 1987 crime statistics released by Police Chief Richard D. Ream, showed a 7 percent increase in burglaries from 347 to 375. "I just wish the burglaries would go down," Ream said. "Too many are house burglaries and that concerns me because of the potential for injury. I know what it does to a family when their house is broken in to."
Spring enrollment was down slightly at Jamestown Community College and the figure was likely to drop in the coming years. Preliminary figures released at the Board of Trustees meeting showed that full-time student enrollment at the Jamestown campus was off 69 from the same time in 1987. Part-time enrollment had increased by about the same. "You'll notice this college is experiencing the declining enrollment of high school graduates," said R. Theodore Smith, dean of academic and student affairs.

I am planning on visiting Japan in March. I will be in Tokyo for a week and Kyoto for another week.
I am interested in acquiring some tea while I am there. Also I have never had matcha, so I think I'll buy myself a chawan and a chasen. I would also like to do a tea ceremony somewhere.
My budget is not huge and my chawan and chasen don't have to be artisinal. If anyone has any suggestions on places that offer the most bang for the buck in both Kyoto and Uji, I'd appreciate it. I would definitely like to buy some matcha and gyokuro. I hear the hojicha from Kyoto is really good too. But also open to getting sencha and kukicha if there are some I should definitely check out.
(Also, suggestions for cafes or places to sit with a cup both in Kyoto and Tokyo would be great).

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (330 votes).
In short: Great event, but the start is becoming unsafe- it needs some workIn full: What a great event this is. I have done it each year, but this year there was no finish time markers. At the start only a few seconds after the gun were a couple of old dears strolling-- this will cause an accidentThis is a great event, but please sort the startDate of review: July 4, 2010
In short: Great atmosphere but the start needs to be more organised (i.e. markers for expected finish time)Date of review: July 4, 2010
In short: Few problems as far as I was concernedIn full: I've done this run each year as I was so inspired by Jane herself. Most of the problems I have encountered in previous years were ironed out but can see there might have been problems for faster runners.I arrived just after 8.30 but saw no warm ups. Didn't hear them telling people to start in order of runners, joggers, walkers and couldn't hear anything else that was being said from the stage.There were a couple of bottle necks in the town centre which was slightly frustrating as we could see some runners on the other side of the road going a lot faster. There was plenty of gatorade and water around at the start, during and after. My main gripe (as it has been each year) is why does the Gatorade just after the halfway point come in cups and not bottles? No one can drink it and run. I put mine into my empty bottle as I had anticiapted this problem.Put this into the context of why people were there and the organisation it takes and there isn't a lot to complain about. Date of review: July 4, 2010
In short: It may have got too big In full: 2010 Race - Lots of dodging and this meant for a difficult slower race. The road in places was very narrow for the thousands of runners and very hard to negotiate on coming runners at times. The start needs some work as there were lots of walkers at the very start and people flagging at 2km who should listen to the announcers instructions at the beginning (Runners, Joggers and Walkers etc.) This review will hopefully be taken as feedback as I have run York and Hull and I would advise others to try these races as they were SUPERBLY ORGANISED. Family spectators struggled to enjoy it also as it was so busy and cramped. Sorry I know its a run for all, but I will continue my support at York and Hull. Date of review: July 4, 2010
In short: A lot of dodgingIn full: Great atmoshphere and a lot of first timers, but a lot of walkers ahead of the runners, plus a couple of bottle necks led to a mixed race for running.Date of review: July 4, 2010
Date of review: July 4, 2010
In short: Shocking organisation. More like a sponsored walk from the start line.In full: Thoroughly unimpressed. Took us an age to find a car park as Leeds was pretty much closed off, yet no signs for parking anywhere.As we shuffled to the start line, there was a slight incline as you set off (and I mean SLIGHT) when I was met by a wall of walkers! Had to leap over a barrier and run on other side of road just to get past them. Unbelievable. No starting pens meant walkers were starting from front.Roads were far too narrow for two way running. Weaving in and out of people, round cones, avoiding in coming runners.Goody bag was pointless. A carrier with some fruit flakes and a chocolate biscuit? Don't bother.Yes I know it's all for charity but at £26 a head and 11000+ runners they really should do better. Back to the Abbey Dash & Bradford 10k for me. Never again.Date of review: July 4, 2010
In short: Hull race if not for the heat could bring very fast times. Though this is for everyone.In full: Hot day, though nice flat course that actually manages to make hull look rather scenic.Date of review: June 28, 2010
Date of review: May 27, 2010
In short: Great AtmosphereIn full: Really enjoyable and inclusive race with a great atmosphere. Start was a bit crowded but within a few hundred meters my worries about bottle necks proved unfounded. The twists and turns made it tougher than otherwise you'd expect for such a flat course but kept it interesting. Support was great.Date of review: May 26, 2010

Today, the U.S. Department of State established a new Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations (CSO) to focus on conflict prevention, crisis response, and stabilization activities. The bureau will subsume the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization (S/CRS).
CSO advances U.S. national security by driving integrated, civilian-led efforts to prevent, respond to, and stabilize crises in priority states, setting conditions for long-term peace. The bureau emphasizes sustainable solutions guided by local dynamics and actors. CSO promotes unity of effort, the strategic use of scarce resources, and burden-sharing with international partners. The bureau's comprehensive approach will help the State Department anticipate and adapt to the security challenges of the 21st century, while supporting America's leadership in emerging crises.
In a posting on the Impact Blog, Assistant Administrator Nancy Lindborg welcomed the creation of the new bureau and underscored how it will be a critical partner for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in increasing global capabilities that are essential to crisis prevention, response, recovery, and transition efforts. Assistant Administrator Lindborg wrote:
"A key responsibility of the new State Bureau of Conflict and Stability Operations is the continued management of the Civilian Response Corps, civilian staff from various U.S. government agencies trained to enhance U.S. government engagements in fragile states and post-conflict environments while laying the path for longer- term development and peace. Last year alone, USAID Civilian Response Corps personnel provided more than 9,300 person days to augment Embassy and USAID Mission efforts managing crises in 25 countries such as Haiti, South Sudan, Yemen, Tunisia and others."

Egyptian Military Using Lethal Nerve Gas on Protesters
The Egyptian military has been using a banned chemical agent to deal with hundreds of thousands of protesters, according to several news sources. At least 23 Egyptians have died and more than 1,700 have succumbed to a lethal nerve gas military forces have been using during the past three days in clashes in and around Cairo's Tahrir Square. The lethal gas had been used at the height of South Africa's apartheid in the 1980s and has been banned by international convention. An Australian paper reports the gas canisters are marked "Made in USA."

Just personal preference but I abhor Bridgeford's pepporoniAaron
I bookmarked this link a while back but haven't tried it yet, think I found it thru the forum so maybe someone else has.http://www.tammysrecipes.com/tammys_spicy_pepperoniLooks pretty easy and adjustable and I'm sure the liquid smoke could be left out and the logs cooked on a smoker.
i agree...smoked pepperoni is really great. I knew a guy who started smoking his own bacon and other meats...he used a weber grill and a trash can...
I can't say I abhor Bridgeford's brand since I would eat it if there wasn't any alternative, but it isn't that great when compared to Boar's Head (which I can get at Publix) and, my favorite, Molinari's from San Francisco which I order online from igourmet.com.
When I was a kid, I remember one particular pizza reataurant that used pepperoni that was about the same diameter as a quarter. These little pepperonis would cup when cooked and the rim/edge of the pepperoni would burn ever so slightly. It was the best tasting pepperoni that I can remember.
I second a vote for Boar's Head. I love both their pepperoni and their mozz. Have the deli person slice it super thin and it will crisp up nicely. They're nice and wide (in diameter) too.
The only kind I ever use is Boar's Head in a stick purchased at our local Publix. I slice it very thin. We find it not too spicy and not too greasy.

Distribute excess water back into the soil
Club member Robert Yates of Niland, California, submitted this tip to keep air conditioner runoff from pooling. Drill a row of holes 1�in. from the bottom of a 5-gallon� bucket. Fill the bucket halfway with 1-1/2-in.-dia. rocks; then add pea-size gravel to the top. Sink the bucket into the ground beneath the runoff outlet of the air conditioner. The bucket drain distributes water into the soil so you will never have to worry about runoff forming a small pond near your house again!

Canadian winters are difficult to endure, especially ones like the current harsh winter. Heavy snow fall, ice storms and long periods of extremely cold temperatures have persisted into January throughout North America. Already I am tired of it and long for sunshine and sandals. I warm up and take comfort with a bowl of soup. This hearty soup, or stew if you please, combines the goodness of sweet potatoes and earthy, robust kidney beans, all simmered in a Thai-inspired broth.
The lemongrass and galangal are I think rather essential in this dish for a more authentic Thai taste, so if you are fortunate enough to live near an Asian market, do take the little extra time to seek them out. The homemade Thai red curry paste is also not to be missed — it's easy to make, completely vegetarian, and bursting with fresh flavor. You can make up a small batch and keep it in the fridge for a good few weeks or longer in a tightly sealed glass jar.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Today, U.S. Paralympics, a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, announced that due to the success of the 2011 and 2012 Valor Games Midwest, the competition for Veterans and service members with a physical disability has been expanded to three additional regions across the country.
The Valor Games were established in 2011 by World Sport Chicago in partnership with U.S. Paralympics and Veterans Affairs to provide an introductory sports competition for Veterans and service members with a physical disability and to promote sports at the community level.
Besides Valor Games Midwest in Chicago, additional sites include the Valor Games Southeast in Durham, N.C., Valor Games Southwest in San Antonio, Texas and the Valor Games Far West in San Jose, Calif. Funding for all four of the competitions is being provided by Veterans Affairs.
"We're proud to expand this great event for veterans that World Sport Chicago has made so popular," said Chris Nowak, director, VA Office of National Veterans Sports Programs and Special Events. "By offering the competition at targeted regions across the country, we're not only making it easier for veterans to participate but also more cost-effective."
"World Sport Chicago is thrilled to see the Valor Games movement expanding across the country," said executive director Scott Myers. "Along with Veterans Affairs and U.S. Paralympics, we are committed to offering more adaptive sports opportunities for Veterans and feel the Valor Games events are a great jump start for these individuals to start living healthier, more active lifestyles in their own communities."
Qualifying athletes include veterans or active duty service members from any era. Their physical disabilities may fall into the following categories:
For more information about the 2013 Valor Games, please contact Beth Bourgeois, U.S. Paralympics, at 719-866-2039 or email@example.com.

Projected job growth for this field, 2010-2020: 21%
Likelihood of working retail: 2.1 times average
Many anthropology graduates "are studying a culture they didn't expect: the intergenerational American household, as seen from their parents' couch." Nearly a third of recent grads are in low-paying office or sales jobs. Recent graduates average $28,000 per year, less than the median pay for someone with only a high school diploma. Students interested in foreign cultures would do better to major in international relations, Kiplinger suggests.
Fine arts, film/photography, studio arts, graphic design and drama/theater also are low-earnings, high-retail majors. Also on the list: philosophy and religious studies, sociology, liberal arts and my major, English.
I'd guess that arts and theater majors understand they're going to struggle to make a living. Do sociology majors know their odds?
Ann Althouse quotes from Kurt Vonnegut's A Man Without a Country:
If you want to really hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.
I'm not sure writing bad poetry constitutes practicing art or enlarges the soul.

Volume 4 Number 4
A Famous Neighbor
I was a Princeton Seminary student in the early 1940s when the eating clubs were still in existence. I was a member of the Behnam Club, and we had a famous neighbor who lived across the street, Albert Einstein. We often saw him as he walked through the campus on his way to work at the Institute for Advanced Study.
One day as a group of students and I walked behind him, we noticed that
he was not the sharpest of dressers. That day he was wearing an old
sweatshirt and a black raincoat that had surely seen better days. As young
seminarians, we tried to look professional by wearing white shirts, dress
slacks, and ties. One of the group whispered to a friend, "He isnt
even wearing any socks." His friend replied, "If you were Albert
Einstein, you wouldnt have to wear socks either!"
Cutting Loose
In the early 1950s, I often cut Dr. Norman V. Hopes hair and
eyebrows in my Hodge Hall room. The former professor once inquired if
cutting his eyebrows would make them bushier, as he could hardly read his
lecture notes through the thick tangle of hair. I simply picked up my
scissors and replied, "Nah!"

Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind Sesame Street, in partnership with TOLO TV and LEMAR TV stations, have produced Baghch-e-Simsim, a brand new children's television series featuring locally produced live action films and the Muppets from Sesame Street, to engage and help educate the young children of Afghanistan.
"Sesame Workshop is thrilled to work with TOLO and LEMAR television to create a series locally that not only seeks to educate and prepare children for a lifetime of learning, but also provides a unique vision into Afghan culture that children can identify with and learn from," says H. Melvin Ming, CEO and President, Sesame Workshop.
Designed to meet this need for early education, the 26 half-hour series of Baghch-e-Simsim, produced in consultation with Afghanistan's Ministry of Education, will be broadcast in both Dari and Pashto languages and premiere December 1, 2011. Baghch-e-Simsim contains 13 locally produced live action films that depict traditions, culture, and other aspects of urban and rural life in Afghanistan.
"It is a fundamental fact that media plays a significant role in education development through educational and public awareness programs. In light of this fact, the Ministry of Education has focused on providing distance educational programs through its Education TV. I believe that the Baghch-e-Simsim program that depict traditions, culture, and other aspects of Afghan rural and urban life are profoundly useful for the cognitive development of our children and transforming our society towards, social welfare, economic growth, and durable peace," stated Deputy Afghan Minister of Education Patman.
"Teachers here in Afghanistan will discover that Sesame Street can help children start school well prepared. Perhaps most importantly, it shows children the world around them," stated U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker.
These two-to-three minute mini-documentaries feature and celebrate the daily lives of young children from across Afghanistan and introduce one another to the rich diversity of the country's various provinces. Additionally, the furry and feathered friends from Sesame Street, like Elmo, Big Bird, and Grover, will be on hand to encourage children in core-competencies like literacy, math, school readiness, and life skills with a special emphasis on girl's education, diversity, and cultural awareness. Sesame Muppets from co-productions around the world, including Egypt, Bangladesh, Mexico, and Russia will also be featured in segments throughout the series.

What is YOUR* idea of a perfect theme?
ok so i dont want a bunch of people to spit out specific themes that they like or are using...
this is more of a general idea...
for example i LOVE a clean minimal lockscreen. i dont have a lockscreen clock and i always hide the slider and camera grabber.
its just an image and a status bar.
however i was a big fan of typophone lockscreen for a while and have always gone to some kind of gps weather lockscreen when i feel i need a change...
i like the ones that have a tap function where if you tap the screen you get detailed info, and if you tap again the info goes away and you just have the live lockscreen with the weather condition (like sun and clouds flaoting buy, rain falling etc...)
i like dark colored themes and icon sets, but i always end up on stock because i cant stand it when all the stock apps are themed, and then you have bad piggies looking all crazy and out of place!
i am a big fan of transparencies and like blurred backgrounds...,
so what do you all like???

What is YOUR* idea of a perfect theme?
Well I adore lockinfo so I plan my lockscreen around that--simple, minimal. As for the other bits, dark with bright accents and usually a simple GPS weather widget but a small one.

Re: What is YOUR* idea of a perfect theme?
I actually like the Apple look, although I refuse to go stock so I like using ayecon . The icons are very similar to stock just better looking and it seems higher resolution. For a lookscreen I like to be able to see, at a glance, the 2 main features I use - time and weather. UniAW has a really nice live analog chronograph clock, live gps weather, sunrise, sunset, current temp, high, low etc.
I also tend toward darker themes and icons. So many of them are too bright.

What is YOUR* idea of a perfect theme?
Thanks for sharing, everyone has their preference when it comes to lockscreen. Personally, my lockscreen is set to typophone cos i only need a glance to tell the time (when u need it).
As for customization, i myself tend to go for darker themes with dark UI as well as it blends well with my black device.
However i like to add that it will be great if i can just replace the stock icons and UIs altogether and ditch Winterboard as doing so will certainly improve resource usage + speedier performance.

Upper respiratory tract infection is reduced in physically fit and active adults

Objective Limited data imply an inverse relationship between physical activity or fitness level and the rates of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). The purpose of this study was to monitor URTI symptoms and severity in a heterogeneous group of community adults and contrast across tertiles of physical activity and fitness levels while adjusting for potential confounders.
Design A group of 1002 adults (ages 18–85 years, 60% female, 40% male) were followed for 12 weeks during the winter and fall seasons while monitoring URTI symptoms and severity using the Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey. Subjects reported frequency of aerobic activity, and rated their physical fitness level using a 10-point Likert scale. A general linear model, with adjustment for seven confounders, was used to examine the effect of exercise frequency and fitness level on the number of days with URTI and severity of symptoms.
Results The number of days with URTI during the 12-week period was significantly reduced, 43% in subjects reporting ≥5 days/week aerobic exercise compared to those who were largely sedentary (≤1 day/week) and 46% when comparing subjects in the high versus low fitness tertile. URTI severity and symptomatology were also reduced 32% to 41% between high and low aerobic activity and physical fitness tertiles.
Conclusions Perceived physical fitness and frequency of aerobic exercise are important correlates of reduced days with URTI and severity of symptoms during the winter and fall common cold seasons.
Funding This work was supported by grants from Coca-Cola (Atlanta, Georgia, USA) and Quercegen Pharmaceuticals (Sudbury, Massachusetts, USA).
Competing interests None.
Ethics approval This study was conducted with the approval of the Appalachian State University.

As utilities move toward smarter grids, they will be challenged with an unprecedented deluge of data. A first step toward turning this potentially bewildering flood of new data sources into useful operational information, utilities and their stakeholders need to understand the holistic view of the data components and characteristics. This white paper helps the readers with the step-change for the implementation of new tools, architectures and processes - a prerequisite for managing smart grid data.

This time, Jay and Silent Bob are back for a screening of their animated feature Jay & Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie. A Q&A will follow the screening.
You can catch the duo at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 7. Tickets are $50 and can be purchased at Studio35.com.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Jan. 10, 2008)
- The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team will have to defeat Puerto Rico one more time to earn a trip to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. The U.S. Men (4-0) advanced to the championship match of the 2008 NORCECA Continental Olympic Qualifying Championship by defeating Cuba (25-22, 27-25, 25-18) on Thursday at Hector Sola Bezares Coliseum the in Caguas, Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico (4-1) then defeated Canada (41-39, 25-21, 25-19) to advance to the final. The two teams will square off on Friday at 4 p.m. PST. The match will be streamed live on the Internet at
"This was not the best of our matches and hopefully we have reserved our best for the last day," said Tom Hoff (Park Ridge, Ill.), the U.S. team captain. "Today we served well and controlled the ball better."
"We played well for the first two sets, but could not make the plays at the end, which USA did," said Cuba's captain Roberlandy Simon. "In the third set, the Americans served, blocked and defended better than us."
Cuba out-killed the U.S. Men 43-39 and out-blocked them 7-5. However Team USA finished with five aces while Cuba had none and was hurt by 17 service errors.
Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i) led the U.S. effort Thursday with 12 points on nine kills and three aces. Riley Salmon (League City, Texas) scored eight points on six kills, one block and one ace. Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) added eight points on eight kills. Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) scored eight points on six kills and two blocks. David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) scored six points on six kills and Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) had five points on four kills and one block.
Setter Lloy Ball (Woodburn, Ind.) scored one point on an ace and was also credited with 21 assists. Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) was credited with four digs and seven receptions. Raydel Corrales led Cuba with 12 points on 12 kills and two blocks. Simon added 10 points on nine kills and one block. Stanley's serving proved to be the difference in the first set, combined with Cuba's service errors. Cuba missed two chances to win the second set when Corrales and Odelvis Dominico had service errors. Team USA won its first chance when Hoff's block was followed by Rooney's kill. Stanley scored the final two points for the United States in the third set with his third ace and closed with a laser shot from the right side.
Friday's match between the United States and Puerto Rico will be the fifth meeting of the teams in the past five months. In September, the United States won the NORCECA Men's Continental Championship by defeating Puerto Rico in pool play (25-19, 27-25, 25-18) and again in the championship match (25-20, 23-25, 25-22, 25-23). However, Puerto Rico came back to defeat the United States in the second match of the World Cup (25-21, 20-25, 25-17, 25-22) bringing Team USA back down to Earth after it had defeated Brazil the day before. On Tuesday, the U.S. Men defeated Puerto Rico (25-21, 25-23, 25-22) in pool play at the NORCECA Olympic Qualifier.

Central Jersey Sun News, October 11, 2012.
Pennsylvania Ballet, one of the premier ballet companies in the country, returns to McCarter Theatre Center for the first time in almost a decade on Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m.
Under the artistic direction of Roy Kaiser, Pennsylvania Ballet will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, and has remained true to its origins as a home for classically trained dancers with individual looks and presences. Always the toast of Philadelphia its dancers have a can-do attitude about eclecticism, long a favored goal of America's best ballet companies. Their program will include New York Export: Opus Jazz, by Jerome Robbins, and Peter Martins' Barber Violin Concerto, and Square Dance by George Balanchine.Feel the flavor of the city that never sleeps with Jerome Robbins's N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz. Robbins's "ballet in sneakers" celebrates the youth and vitality of the era in which it emerged: the distinctly cool 1950's. N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz adopts the spirit of Robbins's renowned musical, West Side Story, with Broadway-style theatricality saturating this series of dances to the music of Robert Prince.
Peter Martins's Barber Violin Concerto features two couples, bathed in white, performing a brilliant series of pas de deux. The piece embodies the lyrical movement of Samuel Barber's inventive score that bridges from an opening adagio to its final scherzo, exploring the dichotomy between classical ballet and modern dance in three movements.
Rounding out the program will be George Balanchine's Square Dance, a favorite of many dancers. Its title comes from the structure of American folk dance, which Balanchine found made a complementary frame for classical ballet movement. Dancers wear simple leotards and tights, allowing audiences to focus on the dancers' breathtakingly speedy footwork and the brilliant score by Vivaldi and Corelli.
The company features several dancers who hail from New Jersey including Principal Dancers: Julie Diana (Summit) and Ian Hussey (Westmont); Soloist: Gabriella Yudenich (Voorhees); Corps de Ballet: Caralin Curcio (Sparta), Eric Trope (Summit), and Alex Ratcliffe-Lee (Wayne).
Founded in 1963 by Balanchine student and protégée Barbara Weisberger, Pennsylvania Ballet is one of the nation's leading ballet companies. Headquartered in Philadelphia, the Company's annual local season features six programs of classic favorites and new works, including the Philadelphia holiday tradition, George Balanchine's The Nutcracker™.
