text: LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co. has announced the retirement of Mid-South Division President John Hackett. John began his career with Kroger in 1963 as a store clerk in London, Ohio working his way through college at The Ohio State University. Following graduation he entered the Kroger management training program in 1968 which led to a variety of marketing and operations roles in the Columbus and Indianapolis divisions. In 1984, John was promoted to Director of Merchandising of the Louisville division. In 1990 he was promoted to division president where he oversaw the merger of the Louisville and Nashville divisions to create the Mid-South division. According to Kroger President and Chief Operating Officer Rodney McMullen, "During his 50-year career, John has consistently demonstrated his passion for and commitment to our associates, our customers and our local communities. In addition to being a great executive, John is a first class human being and person. When you define a gentleman the definition is John Hackett. We thank John and his wife Kay for their many years of dedicated service and wish them the best in retirement. I am sure John will remain involved in serving the Kroger family through his community service, passionately advocating for the causes that matter deeply to John and his family." John has served as the division's president for 23 of his 50 years at Kroger. Through his entire career, John has always welcomed change and been passionate about growing the business. During his 29 years in Louisville, the division grew from 55 stores to 161 and sales increased more than ten-fold. Under his watch the Mid-South division pioneered self-checkout, opened the company's first Kroger fuel station and the first Little Clinic. John also led an associate safety initiative that reduced accidents by 70% and became a model for the entire Kroger company. John is known for his compassionate leadership and the development of those who work with him. He serves on the Board of Overseers for the University of Louisville and is Board Emeritus for the Dare to Care Food Bank. He served as a trustee for the Louisville Urban League and is a former board member of Bellarmine University, the Louisville Economic Development Association, and the Metropolitan College Steering Committee. He also served as president, chairman and director of the Kentucky Retail Federation. John has been married to his wife Kay for 45 years. They are the proud parents of two grown children, Ann and John, and have 6 grandchildren.

FLORENCE – Ronald L. Hall, long-time professor of philosophy at FMU, has just had his book, The Human Embrace: The Love of Philosophy and the Philosophy of Love: Kierkegaard, Cavell, Nussbaum published by The Pennsylvania State University Press.
The book grew out of two lectures that Hall presented at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Writing the book, he says in "the Acknowledgments," was an opportunity for him to expand his treatment of one of his favorite philosophers, Soren Kierkegaard. Hall has previously published a book on Kierkegaard entitled, Word and Spirit: A Kierkegaardian Critique of the Modern Age (Indiana, 1993).
In this latest book, Hall claims that Kierkegaard helps us to see that the full embrace of our humanity requires us to live with, and existentially to face the persistent temptation to escape from it. Hall finds similar concerns reflected in the work of two modern-day philosophers, Stanley Cavell and Martha Nussbaum.
It is all too common, Hall says, for human beings, who decry their human condition of vulnerability and fragility, to seek ways of living that are immune to fear, anxiety, death, loss, disappointment, and suffering. But Hall argues that there is a great price to pay if we deny or otherwise try to escape these elements of our humanness. That price is despair. The alternative to despair, Hall argues, is a life of existential faith. Such a faith embraces the whole of our humanity, fragility and all, as well worth living.
Hall claims that love, the embrace of the beloved, is a decisive emblem of our embrace of our humanity. As he argues, without the embrace of love, without the bonding of human beings to one another, a full human happiness is impossible. It is not good that man (or woman) should be alone.
Yet following what he calls "the logic of paradox," Hall argues that the existential embrace of our humanity, and its correlate embrace of the beloved, depends crucially on the struggle human beings experience with the ever-present temptations to transcend our human condition by finding strategies for living above it all.
As Hall puts this, living in existential faith, fully embracing our humanity, is possible only after confronting and refusing the possibilities of living in "aesthetic," "ethical," or even "religious" isolation and world-alienation. Hall says that the ideas he is discussing in the book are familiar and find expression in modern American culture, especially in modern American religion.
We see them reflected in our novels, our plays, our movies, and even the lyrics of our popular music. For example: "Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?" perfectly expresses the human urge to find a way of avoiding disappointment and hurt. So the human question is: is life without a heart, a life without attachment, a life that consciously chooses to refuse the human embrace in order to make it safe and secure from loss, the best human life? Or is the fragility of the heart essential to having one? And isn't having one, a decisive mark of our humanity?
And in modern American religion, the quest seems to be to find a way of transcending the world, of finding a way of being immune to its hurts. The offer modern-day religion seems to make to those who are disappointed, to those who have suffered loss, or who fear it, is the offer of protection, the offer of invulnerability. In such offers of "faith," the claim is that God will protect us from all harm, if we will but detach ourselves from the world. Such a faith builds a mighty fortress around its adherents.
However, Hall, claims, these walls ultimately make a prison. This vision of the world as our human prison fuels the religious drive toward a hope for escape. This hope is most often represented as a hope for the next life--a hope that carries in itself a deep-seated contempt for this one.
The Human Embrace will soon be on sale in the Patriot bookstore.

A 19-year-old Seneca County woman says she's glad to be alive after surviving a 60-foot fall off a cliff in Hawaii.
Marissa Peone of Seneca Falls, who's in Hawaii for one semester, tells Hawaii News Now that she and a friend researched Kaau Crater Trail in Oahu's Palolo Valley but did not see anything indicating how dangerous it is.
Last week a 23-year-old University of Hawaii graduate student died in a fall there. Peone says she reached the first waterfall and was climbing to look over the edge when she lost her footing. She suffered only some brusies.
Peone tells Hawaii News Now "Words cannot explain how lucky I feel right now. I just keep imagining myself falling off and dying."

This is just a quick post, letting you all know that I am having internet issues. Our modem, instead of showing the warm, comforting glow of four lights, is only showing one flashing light. Apparently that means, I can not get connected. I think it's the modem, the cable guy (on the phone) thinks it's trouble on the line or at the pole. We'll see who's right. We have a service call scheduled for Friday a.m. I am absolutely lost without the internet! Last night, I wanted to Google, "how to keep a kitten from climbing up your leg", but I couldn't.

Playing on the Class 5A state championship team can't help but to get you noticed.
When you play the game like defensive lineman Siosaia Tuipulotu it's easy to see why his Euless Trinity team went 15-1 and won the state championship.
According to Tuipulotu, he plays with a lot of heart and a lot of passion.
"My motor is always running," Tuipulotu said. "I love to attack the football."
Tuipulotu, a 6-foot-2, 285-pound defensive tackle that runs a 4.9 forty, earned First Team All-District honors.
The standout defender currently has five offers including schools such as Purdue, Utah, Nebraska, BYU and SMU.
"Right now Utah is by far my favorite school," Tuipulotu said. "I have some interest in SMU; I want to get to know their coaches. I know they did great things at Hawaii. What I like about Utah is that I'm a Mormon and I can do my mission and they will hold my scholarship for me."
Tuipulotu plans on attending summer camps at Utah, an all Polynesian Camp and hopes to go to one of SMU's one day camps.
"I have a lot of respect for Coach Jones," Tuipulotu said. "SMU is a good school."

This page some times exists
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Or you could wait even longer and maybe it will exist once more.
edit Why this page sometimes exists
Because of the title of this page, several Uncyclopedia authors feel inclined to create it once in awhile. However, admins usually delete this page when they notice it exists, mainly because of the title, and also because they can. So the page flits in and out of existence—because this page only sometimes exists, you see.
edit What should I do about it?
Nothing, really. If you were thinking of putting some kind of comedic masterpiece here, then you're wasting your time. The culture here at Uncyclopedia is such that even if what was put here was the most brilliant, hilarious thing ever envisioned by man, the admins would still delete it to preserve the original joke.
edit Does the title of this page mean I can put anything here?
No. Even if the admins appreciate the joke, they might still get angry at you for creating this article, since it's basically just a variation on This page does not exist and henceforth not very original. But hey, if you want to try.
edit Things this page invokes
- Quantum physics extended to macroscopic phenomena: If you create this page, and no one looks at it (except admins, but they don't count) then after a while no one will know if the page was deleted or not. So therefore, the page is in a state of quasi-existence.

Solange Knowles
Though the road hasn't always been easy, Kelly Rowland finds herself in a joyful place these days.
The sexy songbird just got married to manager Tim Witherspoon in Costa Rica, though she's always had plenty of 'soul mates' to lean on.
Kicking off the week with a star-studded shindig, the 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards took over Alice Tully Hall last night (June 2).
Brazilian stunner Alessandra Ambrosio garnered plenty of attention in her Nonoo dress with Jennifer Fisher jewelry while Karlie Kloss worked the red carpet in her getup, designed by Band of Outsiders.
Their mutual dislike was well-documented in an elevator surveillance video but now Jay Z and Solange Knowles are desperate to appear amicable.
Over the weekend, the "Hard Knock Life" rapper traveled to New Orleans with his wife Beyoncé Knowles for a family reunion with Solange and mom Tina Knowles.
By now everyone has seen the video of an alleged elevator altercation between Jay Z and his sister-in-law Solange Knowles, and "Saturday Night Live" saw fit to clear things up with a hilarious fake interview over the weekend.
During the show's cold open, Jay Pharaoh played the "99 Problems" rapper while Sasheer Zamata depicted Ms. Knowles, constantly watched by security guard Kenan Thompson.
We anxiously awaited a word from Jay Z, Beyoncé Knowles and Solange regarding the now-notorious fight that occurred after last week's Met Gala, and now our wishes were granted.
On Thursday evening (May 15), the trio released a statement to the Associated Press stated that their family woes are finally solved.
Once again proving that there isn't any family tension, Beyoncé Knowles shared a #ThrowbackThursday photo with her sister Solange this afternoon (May 15).
The "Crazy in Love" singer simply captioned the snapshot, "#tt," which featured the pair as young girls in matching dresses.
After the release of family feud footage between Jay Z and Solange Knowles, the Standard Hotel employee who leaked the surveillance clip was fired.
A rep for the hotel announced Wednesday (May 14), "[We] identified the individual responsible for breaching the security policies of the hotel and recording the confidential CCTV video released by TMZ."
She may have every right to be upset with her sister Solange, but Beyoncé Knowles is apparently putting her sibling's scuffle with Jay Z in the past.
On Tuesday (May 13), Queen Bey posted several photos of the sisters together onto her Instagram account.
The details behind what happened between Solange Knowles and Jay-Z at a Met Gala after-party just keep getting stranger.
According to reports, Beyonce Knowles' little sister didn't get upset with just Jay Z, she also exchanged words with designer Rachel Roy and others at the Boom Boom Room that night.
Stirring up some family drama, Solange Knowles got in quite the tiffy with her sister's husband last week.
After celebrating at the Met Gala on Monday night (May 5), the 27-year-old singer violently attacked Jay Z in an elevator.

Baked Mushroom Linguine
A classic yet humble mushroom-and-cream sauce becomes fancy with the addition of dried porcini and fresh thyme. The sauce is tossed with linguine, topped with grated cheese, and baked in a skillet.
- Servings: 12

Source: Martha Stewart Living, February 2001
- 4 ounces dried mushrooms, such as porcini or chanterelle
- 4 cups boiling water
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, plus 2 teaspoons finely chopped
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 pound button mushrooms, stems removed, quartered
- 1 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced
- 2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound linguine
- Unsalted butter, for pan
- 1/2 cup grated pecorino Romano cheese
Place dried mushrooms in a bowl, and pour 4 cups boiling water over them. Let sit 30 minutes to allow flavors to infuse. Make a bouquet garni: Wrap rosemary and thyme sprigs in cheesecloth, and tie with kitchen twine; set aside. Lift out mushrooms with a slotted spoon, and place in another bowl. Press mushrooms to release any retained stock, and pour liquid back into bowl; set mushrooms aside. Strain mushroom liquid through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a paper towel. You should have about 4 cups of mushroom stock; set aside.
Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When bubbling, add flour. Cook, stirring until mixture begins to brown, about 3 minutes. While whisking, slowly pour in mushroom stock. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick. Stir in cream and reserved bouquet garni. Reduce to a gentle simmer, and cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, in a large ovenproof skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add button mushrooms, and cook until they release their juices. Add shiitakes, reserved mushrooms, and 2 teaspoons chopped thyme, and cook until all are tender, about 5 minutes. Add cream sauce to skillet, and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta; cook until very al dente, 2 to 3 minutes less than manufacturer's instructions. Transfer noodles to a colander, and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Stir noodles into mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with grated cheese, and bake in skillet until browned on top and mixture is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes before serving.

ACA's views were detailed in reply comments filed with the FCC on Jan. 14 in connection with the agency's review of its program access regulations in the wake of its October decision to let the exclusivity ban sunset after it had promoted competition in the pay-TV distribution market for two decades. With limited exception, the rules had categorically banned exclusive contracts between cable operators and cable programmers they owned, and other exclusive arrangements involving cable-affiliated programmers. In their stead, the FCC adopted a case-by-case approach to evaluating such exclusive contracts.
In its comments, ACA supported the FCC's tentative conclusion in favor of expanding its definition of a buying group to include a group operating like NCTC, the industry's largest buying group. ACA also supported clarifying other aspects of the rules to allow NCTC to utilize the program access rules in a meaningful way. NCTC is currently unable to take advantage of program access protections due to FCC requirements that a buying group assume the full payment liabilities of its members, or that each member agree to assume the liabilities of all other members, a far higher level of liability than commonly agreed upon and used by programmers and NCTC in negotiations for many years.
ACA said the FCC's proposed alternative liability rule accords with marketplace realities and will allow NCTC to continue with its business model without subjecting programmers to any greater financial risk. ACA noted that defaults among NCTC members are rare, and NCTC regularly takes steps to assist its programming partners in dealing with such situations when they may occur as part of its regular course of business.
ACA also recommended that the FCC clarify that cable-affiliated programmers are required to provide buying groups the same volume discounts or other advantageous terms and conditions based on the number of subscribers that they would ordinarily extend to individual MVPDs serving the same number of subscribers.
ACA additionally argued that buying group members with up to 3 million subscribers should have a presumptive right to participate in any programming master agreement with a vertically integrated cable programmer. ACA maintained that the 3 million "safe harbor" will prevent cable-affiliated programmers from circumventing key program access protections Congress intended to be available to buying groups.
ACA explained that a 3 million subscriber safe harbor will simply preserve the status quo and not, as programmers have suggested, create new participation rights. Moreover, ACA noted the safe harbor will not prevent cable-affiliated programmers from negotiating individual deals with an MVPD when they each determine this would be efficient.
Notwithstanding elimination of the exclusivity ban, MVPDs still have a legal right to file complaints at the FCC challenging exclusive contracts on a case-by-case basis, based on evidence that a particular exclusive contract for cable affiliated, satellite-delivered programming is an unfair act and a significant hindrance to competition.
In response to the FCC's call for presumptions, ACA supported adoption of several rebuttable evidentiary presumptions, including the presumption that the unfair act standard is met for the case of exclusive contracts with respect to cable-affiliated regional sports networks (RSNs), both satellite and terrestrially delivered, and that both the significant hindrance standard and the unfair act standard are satisfied for the case of exclusive contracts over satellite delivered, cable-affiliated national sports network (NSN) programming. In addition, ACA said the presumption that both the significant hindrance standard and the unfair act standard are satisfied in the case of other satellite delivered, cable-affiliated programming whose exclusive arrangement was successfully challenged by an MVPD.
Lastly, ACA supported adoption of a rebuttable presumption in favor of granting standstill of an existing contract involving cable-affiliated sports programming pending resolution of the underlying complaint, in light of the fact that this programming is time-sensitive "must have" programming."These presumptions will not resurrect the per se ban on exclusivity as some programmers seem to think," Polka said. "The effect of the presumptions is only to shift the burden of producing evidence in support of its case, not the burden of persuasion. They will reduce burdens on the complainant and the FCC, thereby increasing the utility and efficiency of the case-by-case process, in

News Release
Embargo: 00.01hrs Monday 2 April 2007
Attention: Newsdesks, Education and Social Affairs Correspondents
Wales TUC urges employers to work with employees when making workplaces smoke-free
As the smoking ban comes into force in workplaces across Wales, the Wales TUC is today (Monday) publicising a guide for union safety reps to help them work with employers in bringing in the ban in a way that meets all the legal requirements, fully involves staff and doesn't persecute smokers.
Every year around 700 workers die as a result of second-hand smoke inhaled at their place of work, and passive smoking is also responsible for thousands of episodes of illness amongst UK employees, says the Wales TUC.
The TUC guide reminds employers that there is much to think about when making a workplace smoke-free, especially because around a quarter of all UK workers smoke, though not necessarily at work. Before the ban in Wales, around two million people in the UK were employed in places where smoking was still allowed everywhere, and another ten million could smoke at least somewhere on the premises.
Employers should introduce smoking bans with the full involvement of staff and unions, says the Wales TUC. From today all Welsh workplaces will have to display non-smoking signs at all entrances and in any company vehicles, all smoking rooms will have to disappear and the issue of breaks for smokers who need to go outside to light up will have to be considered.
The guide advises that every workplace should draw up a smoking policy which:
· protects all staff and members of the public from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke;
· does not stigmatise or discriminate against smokers and offers hardened nicotine addicts help in giving up if they want to quit;
· sets out clearly what will happen to employees who flout the workplace ban; and,
· states where employees can go for a smoke and what they should do with their cigarette ash and butts.
Wales TUC Head of Policy & Campaigns Derek Walker said: 'Thousands of Welsh employees, especially those working in bars, restaurants, clubs and pubs, are set to gain from today's smoking ban. With thought and proper consultation, making a workplace smoke-free can be a fairly painless experience, even for the most hardcore smokers. The key is the involvement of staff and our guide sets out how to do just that.'
'Negotiating smoke-free workplaces' says there is no need for employers to stop employees from smoking altogether, though companies might want to discourage groups of smokers from gathering outside, particularly if they are in company uniform. The guide also warns against using the ban as an excuse to stop employing smokers.
'Negotiating smoke-free workplaces' sets out the exemptions to the smoke-free regulations, suggests ways in which employers can help their staff quit and includes a draft smoking policy that employers can adapt to suit their individual workplaces.
- A copy of 'Negotiating smoke-free workplaces' is available at http://www.tuc.org.uk/h_and_s/tuc-13003-f0.cfm?regional=2
- The guide was issued to safety reps across Wales in February.

Heogh is sticking with Confederate for the attempt, but he's switched over to the X132 Hellcat Combat, a specially developed prototype version of the X132 Hellcat. The one-of-a-kind bike maintains the 132-cubic-inch S&S XWedge engine of the standard Hellcat and fits upgraded kit like a custom dual-track intake, CNC-ported heads with shorter cylinders, new rocker arms, a radiused crankshaft and a different compression ratio.
It won't be one-of-a-kind for long though, with Confederate set to produce "a limited number" of Hellcat Combats early next year. The trials were held this past weekend and results weren't available at the time of writing, but if Hoegh manages to break the record with his, we imagine the production run will sell out even faster than limited-edition Confederates usually do. Scroll down below for the press release.
Birmingham, Alabama. (August 24, 2012) - Confederate Motors, Inc. (OTCBB:CFED), makers of exotic American road bikes, is returning to the Bonneville Salt Flats this weekend with its latest experimental prototype, the X132 Hellcat Combat. The prototype X132 Hellcat Combat is a modified version of the company's acclaimed X132 Hellcat, which was recently named 'World's Best Custom Motorcycle' by Robb Report Magazine. The experimental prototype was commissioned by and handcrafted for Mr. James Hoegh of Sunbury, Pennsylvania. Hoegh will pilot the machine in a quest for a land speed record at this years BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials in the APF 3000 category. The record currently stands at 168.912 mph.
The prototype X132 Hellcat Combat features a modified version of the 132 cubic inch (2163cc) S&S XWedge engine used in the production version of the X132 Hellcat. Modifications include:
• Prototype dual track intake with twin 58mm throttle bodies
• Prototype 618 cams with custom length pushrods and tubes
• CNC ported heads with smoothed 113cc chambers and ports
• Modified intake and exhaust valves
• .650 lift Sidewinder springs
• 1.8:1 aluminum roller rocker arms
• Modified oil pump with reduced thickness feed gears and modified bypass circuit
• Annealed copper head gaskets
• Radiused crankshaft
• 11:1 compression ratio (shorter cylinders and decked heads)
• Modified throttle body back plates to compensate for cut heads
The Last of a Breed
The company plans to produce a limited number of production X132 Hellcat Combats next spring. Confederate's founder and CEO, Matt Chambers, says the production version of the X132 Hellcat Combat will be the last of a breed. "There will be no more big block Confederates after the Combat examples are produced next spring. These examples, represented by the experimental Combat prototype, are going to be the end of an era for massive displacement American V-twins packaged as fully structural components within a billet case and handmade chassis. No expense will be spared in our effort to memorialize this passing as the definitive exclamation point."
For the past the 21 years, Confederate Motors, Inc. has designed and handcrafted America's most substantive road bikes. The company will be posting photos and updates from Bonneville on its Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/ConfederateMotors

Center for Genomic Regulation
Current Position
Dr. Kondrashov is Catalan Institute for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA) Research Professor and a group leader in the Laboratory of Evolutionary Genomics in the Bioinformatics and Genomics Program, Center for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona, Spain.
Current Research
Evolutionary and Population Genomics
Fyodor Kondrashov has little interest in how organisms are at the present moment—far more captivating, he thinks, is how they have evolved and continue to evolve. Whether he's studying the emergence of color patterns in songbirds or how changes in genes over time affect human disease, Kondrashov is driven by a need to understand the evolutionary dynamics of how organisms change.
In many ways, Kondrashov's life reflects what he studies—his interest in science and evolution can be largely attributed to a combination of early environmental influences and heritable traits. He is the youngest in a long line of scientists. His grandfather is a biophysicist, his grandmother is a biochemist, and his father worked as an evolutionary biologist in Puschino, a town near Moscow that was constructed specifically for biological research and houses a dozen scientific institutes. "The proportion of the community involved in science was insanely high. It creates this atmosphere that science isn't a job but a way of life," Kondrashov says. "I had this sense from early on that adults can spend their life asking fundamental questions about how nature works."
He was introduced to change at an early age, too. When he was 11, the Kondrashov family moved from Soviet Russia to Madison, Wisconsin—a move that required an abrupt shift in language, culture, and societal norms, even while the focus on science remained. His family continued to surround themselves with scientists from different fields.
In the course of such an informal gathering Kondrashov, a college senior majoring in ecology and biology, met Eugene Koonin, an investigator at the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the National Institutes of Health. Koonin invited him to do an internship in his lab after graduation. Kondrashov ended up staying for three years. "I asked what my job description was, and he said that it was to do whatever I find interesting," Kondrashov says. During that time he worked independently, studying how genes evolved in everything from bacteria to mammals and was constrained only by his imagination.
Kondrashov went on to study genetic evolution at the graduate level, getting his master's degree in population biology from the University of California, Davis, and his Ph.D. in evolutionary biology from the University of California, San Diego, where he studied under biologist Doris Bachtrog. In Bachtrog's lab, Kondrashov analyzed how gene duplications affect evolution and the analysis of genome evolution as a whole. In 2008, he went directly from grad school to heading his own lab at a new institute in Spain: the Center for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona. He was keen to explore a new culture, and his adventuresome leap into the job paid off. The work he's done there is leading to a new set of questions about molecular evolution.
The imperfect process by which cells copy genetic material often creates new versions of genes and allows evolution to happen across generations. A cell might copy a few sections of a gene incorrectly, blocking the gene's function or perhaps giving it a new purpose altogether. Or it might make two copies of a gene, a phenomenon called gene duplication. Kondrashov wants to know how such cellular mishaps affect the process of evolution and the biological fitness of organisms.
Kondrashov uses computers for most of his work, analyzing vast quantities of experimental data to see how different versions of genes arise. He studies genomes of organisms from fish to birds to humans to investigate the speed, effect, and mechanisms of gene variance and evolution. He's found that mutations that cause disease in one type of organism may be harmless in another, and he is trying to work out the molecular details behind such differences.
Kondrashov has also contributed to the theory of the effect of gene duplications on organisms. Over the long term, duplications are important because the copied version of a gene often develops a distinct function or variance from the original version. Most scientists have assumed that in the short term having two identical copies of a gene has no effect on an organism's biology. Kondrashov, however, thinks that such duplications are far more likely to be beneficial or harmful to an organism. Specifically, his hypothesis is that most gene duplications that are maintained over long periods of time have emerged with the help of natural selection.
"So far, this claim remains untested," Kondrashov says. But not for long. The adaptability he learned as a child continues to influence him, and he's now expanding his lab to test these theories and others on living animals.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|yeah, i agree with crosley. i was with a friend who has a dodge dakota and he tried to spin the tires on wet pavement and it acted like it went into neutral. he twisted his torque converter shaft.
|Wow you mean some one had failer from the famous bowtie 700's I've heard so much about here? Guess no one's perfect I know I'm not(just had to go there) Does sound like converter, failers do happen to all of us sometime.I can admit it I had some before we are not God, like some people make us out to be.
obivously the pump is still functioning with pressure readings.
I would venture a guess that the drive splines of the turbine hub broke away inside the converter. This is a common failure of the 700 converter.
It is also possible the input shaft twisted out of the aluminum input drum or the drum broke where the input shaft presses in.
Hopefully you will receive some assistance from Bowtie.

700R4 won't engage in any gear
I am hoping someone can give me a clue as to what may have happened to my 700r4. I recently purchased and installed (50 miles or so ago) a "stage2" 700R4 from Bowtie Overdrives (700r4.com) with a 2200rpm stall. I went through all of the installation procedures as BO asked, and all pressures were correct, TV setting etc. The other day, I took the car out and got on it pretty hard. I had only gone about a mile from home, and I downshifted to first and then upshifted to second, full throttle of course, and got a good crisp shift. Then I upshifted to third, and as soon as third engaged, I felt the tranny release as if I had put it in neutral. Now the tranny wont engage in forward or reverse. It does absolutely nothing except produce a light whining noise in any gear, even neutral/park. The fluid is of course still bright red and has no odor as the trans has maybe 50 miles on it tops. The pressures are still as they were at: 100psi at idle 150psi in Drive/Reverse and 280psi full TV. Has anyone had a failure such as this? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Citizen Lab's Research Fellow John Scott-Railton spoke to Politico regarding the Syrian Electronic Army, a group of hackers in support of Bashar Al-Assad's government. An article by Business Insider also featured Citizen Lab research into ISIS malware attacks.
Forbes on Citizen Lab's Syria research
An article by Forbes magazine discusses FireEye's recent report on Syria, authored by Daniel Regalado, Citizen Lab Technical Advisory Board member Nart Villeneuve, and Citizen Lab Research Fellow John Scott Railton.
Behind the Syrian Conflict's Digital Frontlines
Citizen Lab Research Fellow John Scott-Railton is one of the authors of a report entitled "Behind the Syrian Conflict's Digital Frontlines," released today by FireEye, that documents a hacking operation that successfully breached the Syrian opposition.
Malware Attack Targeting Syrian ISIS Critics
This report describes a malware attack on a Syrian citizen media group critical of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Though we are unable to conclusively attribute the attack to ISIS or its supporters, a link to ISIS is plausible. The malware used in the attack differs substantially from campaigns linked to the Syrian regime, and the attack is against a group that is an active target of ISIS forces. In the interest of highlighting a developing threat, this post analyzes the attack and provides a list of Indicators of Compromise.
Helmi Noman interviewed for piece on Syrian Electronic Army
Citizen Lab Senior Researcher Helmi Noman was interviewed by the International Business Times regarding the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA), and its attack of several international news sites. The SEA is a group of hackers in support of Syrian President Bashar-al-Assad's regime, known to target opposition political group.
Citizen Lab research on Blue Coat cited in article on censorship in Syria
An article on The Conversation references Citizen Lab reports, which documents the use of US-based Blue Coat Systems' products by authoritarian regimes in Syria, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Yemen, Egypt and Kuwait.
Maliciously Repackaged Psiphon Found
In the past 24 hours The Citizen Lab has identified a maliciously repackaged copy of the popular circumvention software Psiphon 3. This post describes the malware and outlines steps to be taken.
Morgan Marquis-Boire on NPR
In "In Syria, Conflict In Cyberspace Complements Ground War", Marquis-Boire spoke to Robert Siegel about the digital dimension of the Syrian conflict.

Texas Mayor Getting New Job
San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro is reportedly being nominated as the next head of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The White House has not commented on the announcement, which was scheduled to be made tomorrow. According to published reports word leaked after several friends and associates of Castro received calls from the FBI, as the agency conducted a background check.
Castro would be tapped to replace current HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, who is believed to be heading to the Office of Management and Budget as part of the reshuffling of the White House cabinet.
Castro is seen as an up and coming member of the Democratic Party. He delivered the keynote address at the 2012 convention in Charlotte, NC. His twin brother Joaquin is already a US Congressman, representing west and northwest San Antonio.

Well, well, well. Look who was on the front page of the Bixby Bulletin. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law made the Bixby paper for their presence at the inauguration of Barack Obama. Who would have guessed? Also, we got a good laugh, as my sister-in-law's name is Tori but the front page picture referenced her three times as Toni. I told her Max is going to grow up confused about his aunt!
The story was so big that "Toni" and Eric also made the Nebraska news. I think I am almost famous.

Comments about Spencer's Interchangeable Barbell 8 Pack - 14 Gauge:
The color came off the balls which is upsetting because I bought them for the pearl color. Wore one the first day I got them just to wake up to a solid white ball. Make tongue rings that the colors actually stays on for once. I've bought so many packs and every time I'm disappointed.

I had a mid face lift and lower eyelid surgery 3 weeks ago. I did this mainly to remove a bag under one of my eyes and to reduce the folds around my mouth and nose. I am not seeing any pros right now.
I am very concerned and upset currently with my healing. My natural smile has been taken away. When I smile my cheek muscles - under my eyes - are so tight that my eyes become concave and the cheek muscle bunches up. My lower eyelids are also bulging out. I look like a freak and am very scared that the tightness will not go away. I also had a bag removed, so I thought, under one eye and after 3 weeks it looks as if it is still there. I do still have slight swelling.Does anyone have any advice?

About MeI have been in the industry for as long as I can remember! I am very passionate about my art and music. If you would like to work with me I am doing paid assignments only right now, however I will do limited TFC shoots if I feel that it will benefit both of our portfolios! My rates are very reasonable and I am always ready to shoot! I can do my own makeup if necessary and prefer to work with a stylist!!
My life story goes a little something like this...
I began singing at a young age but has been on an upward climb since the age of 13 when I wrote, In My Dreams, a tribute to the late Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr. My song has been played at MLK events nationwide for years and continues to get recognition. I became National Miss Black Teen at the age of 16 with a long list of national and regional modeling to her credit. However, being just another pretty face wasn't enough.
On April 30, 2005 I released my first full CD entitled, Unframed, to a sell out crowd at the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh, Pa. Since that time, I've been performing to a growing fan base.
In the EP, Inspired, I take a break from the original tunes and gives tribute to 5 African American Artists who truly inspired me to live my dream. My rendition of the collection has become a favorite to all ages and continues to draw praise Nationwide.
Both my website and myspace outline my numerous accomplishments such as opening for the Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson and Nelly Furtado. In addition, I am proud of my work with the United States Armed Forces as I recently returned from an Armed Forces Troops Tour to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This trip is outlined in the December 4th edition of Billboard Magazine.

the weather is nice today though, so i started taking the engine out of the Lada, as i have nothing else to do at the moment. done the exhaust, radiator, peripials such as the fuel pump etc. im thinking im going to have to do a full rewire. the headlights and things that i need to keep are coming from the same loom that controls the pumps and engine stuff.
i measured up the engine bay and im going to have to cut the firewall a bit. otherwise the engine is going to be sitting too far forward, and with no power steering as it is thats going to be recipe for disaster. i also have to sort out where the radiator is going as well because thats not going to fit inside the engine. i was thinking if i can mount the engine low enough then i could try a top mount radiator, and have a bonnet scoop.
for the record, yes im releasing my inner rice on the Lada, complete with 17" mags on the front and bikkies on the back (standard 13s in case you dont call them bikkies in the states), and a big bore exhaust. both of those my friend has from when he wrote off his Lancer. hes trying to get me to put the big bore onn the bimmer but its not going to happen lol
Edit: forgot to mention at this stage im about 70% sure the M20 currently in Ethrty is going into the Lada, after the swap to the M50. that way i dont have to buy another engine for the Lada, and whats more, of course im not going to repower the Lada by anything other than BMW!

(I hope my english or the dialogs are not that bad ;) )
{Fight is ending, the white ring of the enemy is disappearing}
[Enemy] Uhrg...
[You] I... finally... won...
[Enemy] I am not the ranger you are seeking for...
[You] What?! You are not...
[Enemy] Hehe... He... Our Boss, [???], is not here... He is behind this long floor behind me... I am just the 8th ranger, Alabaster. My only aim was to stop you.
[You] But you failed. I obviously defeated you
[Enemy] Hehe... Hehehehehe...
[You] ?
[Enemy] While we are talking, our Boss is just one step away from dominating the world. If you want to try to stop him, you should go now. But you will just waste your life. You...
[You] I fought this hard in name of the world... I cant stop now! I have to go!
{Music is starting and you go through a long hall till you reach a door}
[System] A strong power of darkness will be found behind this door. Are you prepared?
[You] {have to choose} -Yes- -No-
{You choose Yes and enter the room}
[???] Who is there?
[You] It is me, your death. I came to defeat you.
[???] I expected you, [You]. But i never thought you getting this far. It seems that the eight other rangers couldnt stop you.
[You] And who are you that you think you can stop me from stopping you?
{Music fades, Boss encounter music starts}
[???] I am Astraea, the yellow ranger. But with the power of the nine rings i will be Astraea, ruler of the world, no, ruler of the universe...
{Astraea puts on the other eight rings, she beginns to shine in the colors of the rainbow
[Astraea] NO ONE CAN STOP ME NOW!
{Fight beginns, Final Boss music}
Rated 5 / 5 stars
The moment the first note struck my ears, I immediately voted 5 and was entranced. I feel like I've been transported to a whole new world, and I love it.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is perfect. The intro is serious, but has a speed to it, like "We're hitting this battle running." And I think the string and piano parts are perfect. Some battle/boss themes are overly grave and serious: it's almost like the music forgets about the battle and it has the sole goal of making the audience fear and respect the boss. And for some situations and characters, it works. But here, you didn't do that.
You went with something that very much reminds me of Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy, and that is perfect! It feels not only like a boss battle, but like a battle for hope. The music makes focus not just on the boss, but on the people fighting the boss. Instead of worrying about only how dreadful the boss is, I also remember who is fighting the boss and how courageous, steadfast, and hope-filled they must be. And that's how it should be. Just wonderful. I wish I could pinpoint more of what you did right in better words. x(
I am also very impressed with how this music loops. It had to have played 5 or 6 times and I never once noticed. I can't help but feel like this is the more serious answer to Rose at Twilight, which is perfect. I would dare to say Rose at Twilight and Rose at Eclipse are your masterpieces and would love to see them feature two different bosses in the same game or something.

When kids are around, the rules can be very simple...all guns are either on one's person or in the safe. Not a real difficult issue.
Absolutely no excuse for this tragedy.:nono:
Hammer /= Gun
Accident /= Negligence
Drop a hammer and the worse that might occur is a chip in the floor or a bruised but very easy to recover from toe.
Dropping a hammer is an 'accident', when not done purposefully.
Drop a gun, that you failed to know/remember to clear and keep the action OPEN, and you get what we got here right now.
Dropping a firearm that you failed to check and verify as clear AND to handle with the action as being open is negligence, when not done purposefully for nefarious intent.
Accident = 1 a : an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance...2 a : an unfortunate event resulting especially from carelessness or ignorance
Negligence = 1 b : failure to exercise the care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in like circumstances.
Negligent = 1 b : failing to exercise the care expected of a reasonably prudent person in like circumstances. 2 : marked by a carelessly easy manner.
As it goes to handling and mishandling of firearms regardless of the persons age, but especially so as related to children (!), there should be no intermingling of the term 'accident' as in the place of the act of negligence or action to be negligent.
There are no firearm related injury and deaths, as by "accident".
They are as by negligent action and negligence of result.
Children in general have a very difficult time understanding cause and effect as related to negligence. Even as speak persons among us may have grown up acting same and survived.
I ran into a woman last week who seemingly proudly stated that she had been smoking since age 12 and that her father had bought her cigarettes as a child (!) to the point that she was smoking two packs of Marlboro 'Reds' per day as a teen. Her words, not mine.
Clearly she survived so as to be able to tell the tale. But is this proper in any way what so ever? No, never mind that this is how she grew up...
There are rules toward handling firearms and they are specific as well as brief, and easy to remember.
Those of you who are or state to be supporters of if not members of the NRA and/or are as firearm instructors should know the following by heart. Same goes for most anyone else who thinks of themself to be a firearm enthusiast.
1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
As well as; "Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons."
Source - NRA Gun Safety Rules
My own son is 3 yrs.old and he knows these rules by heart and can put them to practice as can my 8 yr. old daughter. Would I by that alone think okay they are then 'responsible' enough to be given free reign and access to firearms & ammunition at any time they might wish?
Heck no!
Why? Because I am responsible for themas their parent, and a responsible parent knows that no child can do right every time under all conditions. As they say 'Accidents happen'. Knowing this and being the responsible person I am who also loves his children, then what good reason is there for me to act as anything but responsible and to shoulder that responsibility myself rather than to pass the buck of that on to my child toward a child as with do or die conditions of result?!
I might as well start buying them cigs and beer too at age 12 or whenever they might think to request it, because ehh they are responsible enough and besides...Accidents they happen.
Such logic is illogical, even as it is widely adopted and even accepted past to present.
Why people are willing and even purposefully set their children, who they assumedly love, up for failure makes no sense at all to me.
As I tell students when it comes to firearms and firearm safety, you get many opportunities to do things right but just one opportunity to do things wrong.
Very many adults never mind children do not and cannot understand these very simple and basic facts of life & living among firearms.
