Top-seeded Sahuaro scored four goals in the final 36 minutes and shut out Peoria Liberty 5-0 in the first round of the Division II state tournament to win its seventh straight game Tuesday night.
Peoria (14-6) began the playoffs having won seven straight, but the Cougars' strong defensive line and aggressive attacking style limited the Lions to only four shots for the game.
After losing in the first round last year, Sahuaro (15-7-1) came out determined to rewrite history without its assists leader, sophomore midfielder Allison Raniere, who is at training camp with the Elite Clubs National League.
"I was particularly impressed with Jaclyn Wittke and Fallon Nelson - because of missing Allison Raniere today, those two needed to step up," Sahuaro coach David Kruszewski said. "Breanna Parkinson, our center back, was outstanding today. Of course, offensively we had our chances as we always do, but ultimately we had our girls step up where we needed them to."
After a slow first half, with only one goal coming in the 30th minute, by senior forward and captain Anyssa Dagnino, the second half proved much more exciting for the Cougars.
Dagnino, who leads the team in scoring with 24, opened the second half with another goal off the assist from junior forward Jasmine Simmons to put Sahuaro up 2-0.
"Liberty is a good team," Kruszewski said. "When they started playing, I thought this was a good team. I think we just wore them out."
Two minutes later, senior midfielder Lexxi Hanaberg scored off the assist from senior midfielder Brittany Freeman, giving Sahuaro a 3-0 lead with practically an entire half left in the game.
As time ticked away, the pressure to score increased for Liberty, which was forced to play a defensive game for most of the match. Frustration set in as a Lions' foul resulted in a Cougars penalty kick.
"My girls played how I expected them to play, based on their regular season," Liberty coach Erin McRae said.
Nelson hit the crossbar, and the ball bounced just inside the goal line, giving Sahuaro a comfortable lead with 23 minutes left. The clincher came from Simmons in the 78th minute as she swept past Liberty's defense to score the final goal of the game.
"We have to go by every game," Dagnino said. "No matter what the team is seeded, we have to go out and play the same way we did today."

A Registered Retirement Savings Plan is a great way to prepare financially for your future. Simply put, an RRSP is a registered savings plan that allows you to accumulate funds for retirement and help ensure you have the savings and income you need to live comfortably, travel or pursue whatever new dreams you choose once you leave the workforce.
A key part of planning for retirement is thinking about what you can do now to build your RRSP. The maximum amount you can contribute to an RRSP annually is 18% of your prior year's qualifying earnings (consult your Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Assessment for the current tax year's amount), less any applicable pension adjustment (or reversal) and plus any unused RRSP contribution from prior years.
An RRSP (Retirement Savings Plan) is a preferred way to invest for many Canadians because of its tax benefits:
Tax savings now: RRSP contributions reduce your taxable income, which may result in a tax refund which you can, in turn, put back into your RRSP (if contribution room is still available), or use however you choose.
Tax-sheltered growth: Investing in an RRSP has a much bigger impact on your savings than investing outside one because both the amount you contribute to your RRSP and the income it earns are sheltered from tax as long as the money stays in the plan. But remember, RRSP assets will be taxed when withdrawn from your plan at the marginal tax rate (your highest tax bracket) at that time. The rationale is that once you reach retirement you will probably be making less than you do today and likely will be taxed at a lower rate.
|Designed to provide income after you retire.
|Designed to help you save money for a wide range of goals − not just retirement.
|Minimum/Maximum Age Requirement
|No minimum age requirement to open, as long as you have earned income and filed a tax return. Must be closed by December 31 in the year you turn 71.
|Must be 18 years of age to open. There is no maximum age restriction to close an account.
|Tax Deduction
|Contributions are tax-deductible, but when you withdraw any funds you must pay tax1.
|Contributions are not tax-deductible, but all the interest and income earned is tax-free. Any money you withdraw is tax-free too2.
|Contribution Limits
|• Percentage of previous year's earned income, plus previously unused contribution room, less any pension adjustment.
• You can carry forward any unused amount to the following year or any year after that.
• Generally, amounts withdrawn cannot be re-contributed (other than under the Home Buyers' Plan or Lifelong Learning Plan).
|• The government has set a limit of $5,500 in 2013, plus any unused contribution room from previous years.
• The amount you can deposit is not based on income.
• Amounts withdrawn (excluding amounts withdrawn because of an over-contribution) may be re-contributed starting the year after the withdrawal.
|• Over-contributions are assessed a 1% penalty per month3.

| I do not have experience that is specialized in pediatric devices, although I have worked in ultrasound and was a reviewer in the Radiological Devices Branch of what was then DRAERD.
I do have a suggestion that may help in the long run. In an earlier job with the Navy I was the Contracting Officer?s Technical Representative (COTR) for several Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) proposals. In possible collaboration with one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) SBIR funding could be provided in this area. It has been my experience that when the COTR provides useful suggestions and orientation (but not attempting to actually direct the project) the end result is more relevant to society and profitable to the company. I know it is a delicate balance, but a completely ?hands off? approach can be a complete waste of money. The COTR must be interested in seeing the project through. In phase 2 of the SBIR the COTR should help the company learn of the regulatory considerations. The company should be encouraged to discuss their regulatory plans with the FDA at an early point in order to conserve valuable resources.

If you gossip via e-mail with the same regularity as breathing, it might be a good idea to scan the "To" field before hitting send. Two recent reply-all gaffes are making that crystal clear once again.
First off, we had the British wedding planner who rejected a man and a woman desperate to hold their nuptials at a luxury hotel in Buckinghamshire. The wedding planner cc'ed them on the slam.
"I know this probably doesn't sound very nice, but I am trying to put this wedding off as I don't think they are the type of people that we would want to have at Stoke Park," the wedding planner wrote in her reply-all e-mail, the BBC reported last month. (She's since been disciplined.)
Pauline Bailey, the 27-year-old bride-to-be, said she was both devastated and crushed when she read the words, especially as the wedding planner "seemed lovely" when they had met in person. The bomb landed in Bailey's inbox when she followed up to inquire about the venue after 10 days of silence from the staff. (She suspects her fiancé's eyebrow and ear piercings might have played a role in the rebuff.)
Although the hotel sent an apology the same day and offered to host the pair, they didn't take the bait, launching a discrimination claim instead.
Not all reply-all gaffes are this brutal – some simply hint at a more innocent incompetence.
Which brings us to Max Wiseltier, a New York University student in computer science, no less. Wiseltier was attempting to forward an e-mail about paperless tax forms – not exactly scintillating stuff – from the bursar's office to his mom, but ended up cc'ing 39,979 fellow students. Not having done enough, Wiseltier followed up with a reply-all apology. The result was nothing short of a "replyallcalypse," the Toronto Star reported.
Many students became disproportionately outraged by the student's all-too-human error. Others were amused, as one student seized on the opportunity to "thank the entire student body for the past four years," the Star's Noor Javed reported.
As for Wiseltier, he was not in fetal position all night, but cracking up. "I think the best thing to come out of these e-mails is a rekindled sense of community at NYU (even if it's based on being stupid)," he told the Star.
Are you guilty of a mortifying reply-all gaffe, or were you the victim of one? How did you clean up the mess?

i know strivectrin compares itself to botox. that fair comparison when it comes to anti-wrinkle treatment?
Are Products Like Strivectrin Better Than Botox?
Doctor Answers 15
Consider the so-called "alternatives" to BOTOX. Perhaps...
Consider the so-called "alternatives" to BOTOX. Perhaps the best-known product out there is STRIVECTIN. Klein-Becker, the company that makes the product, slyly asks in its marketing: "Better than BOTOX?" Suggesting that STRIVECTIN must be at least as good. Other companies have piled on to this marketing strategy.
- At best this is confusing to the public. There are now scientific studies that have directly compared StriVectin-SD (Klein-Becker USA, Salt Lake City, UT, USA), DDF Wrinkle Relax (Doctor's Dermatologic Formula, HDS Cosmetics, Inc., Yonkers, NY, USA), and HydroDerm (Hydroderm, Beverly Hills, CA, USA) to BOTOX.
- Are you holding your hat? Surprise: BOTOX is better. The creams were no better at reducing wrinkles between the eyebrows than salt water. The lesson is that there is more than hope in the vial, you just have to pick the right vial.
- By the way, these products do work as moisturizers, very expensive moisturizers. If you are not using a good face and eye cream, this change can make a difference in your appearance. Paying more does not mean getting more. If you are spending $300 for a small jar of moisturizer, do you really think you'll get your money's worth?
Recognize that even the best moisturizer is going to make only a small difference-don't over spend.
- It should be emollient but not so greasy that it causes pimples or makes you look shiny.
- It should not burn or dry your skin or eyes (occurs when there are alcohols or acids in the product) and it should smell pleasant and not medicinal.
- It is always possible to be allergic to an ingredient in any product. If you develop a rash or skin irritation after starting a new product, stop the product and consult your doctor immediately.
Don't forget your sunscreen!
Dr. Steinsapir is absolutely correct. Most of the...
Dr. Steinsapir is absolutely correct. Most of the products which claim to be better than Botox are simply moisturizers which in clinical studies have not proven to be better than Botox.
Unfortunately because these products do not have to get US FDA approval for their claims, they can claim whatever they want without having to show well controlled scientific studies to back up their claims.
If you are looking for an alternative to Botox to help decrease fine lines and wrinkles, moisturizers are the key. When the skin is moist, it will have a full appearance and will help to hide the fine lines. When dry, it will shrivel like a prune and the lines will appear.
As always, it is crucial to wear sunscreen. Several things happen when the skin is exposed to sun on the cellular level which not only contributes to skin cancer formation but also to the aged appearance of the skin.

Strivectin isn't even close to Botox
Unfortunately, many cosmetic claims by products sold over the counter are completely unsubstantiated, and Strivectin's claim to be "Better than Botox?" is simply false. Strivectin is a moisturizer that does not penetrate the skin to affect dynamic facial muscles. Botox is a tried and true cosmetic injectable that works well for softening of certain facial wrinkles.
Someday soon, Botox will be available in a cream formulation, but until then, save your money... skip the Strivectin.

Strivectin vs. BOTOX
There is no question that BOTOX is vastly superior in efficacy for wrinkles than is Strivectin, and in fact there was a scientific study that showed just this.
Not a fair comparison...kind of like going from NYC to LA...
take a jet...it works and will get you there quickly, comfortably and without hassle...yes a horse might also get you there but not comfortably, reliably or with any degree of assurance...get botox for your wrinkles...they'll go away and you'll look great in 1-2 weeks...
Is Strivectin Better Than Botox? No Way
The marketing approach with strivectin made an ingenious glancing analogy between two products that have very little similarity. The obvious goal was to associate the product with a very effective, time tested minimally invasive procedure. Analogous questions I would ask: Is an old moped better than a Bentley? Is Timex better than Rolex? Is an old rag better than Versace?
Strivectin is NOT a Botox substitute
Hi there-
Strivectin and similar products help with skin smoothness by helping to hydrate the skin, and possibly by boosting collagen production.
Botox works by relaxing the muscles under the skin to help soften the wrinkles caused by contraction of that muscle- helping also to slow the development of future wrinkles.
Learn more: http://www.DrArmandoSoto.com
Strivectin claim over Botox not based on published scientific data
Beware of marketers of creams of dubious values on TV, Radio, or online. Most if not all of the over-the-counter promoted creams offer not much more than moisturization. No topical marketed creams (including Strivectin, Hydroxatone, and the likes) have the proven clinical efficacy of wrinkle reduction and collagen production as topical retinoid such as tretinoin or tazoratene, which have gone through the rigor of double-blinded randomized clinical trials that confirmed efficacy over placebo. Nevertheless, even topical retinoids do not match the efficacy of Botox or Dysport which works by relaxing facial muscles responsible for lines on forehead and crows feet. However, a topical cosmetic botulinum toxin cream is under review by the FDA, currently in clinical trials and may be available in the future as a prescription cream to be applied by physicians.
Learn more: http://www.drwilliamting.com/Cosmetic_Dermatology.html
Strivectin not better than Botox
Absolutely not. The product Strivectin contains a peptide pal-KTTKS and has no Botox-like effect at all. Pal-KTTKS has been shown to boost collagen production so overall creams containing it might improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles somewhat. But believe me this is a far cry from the type of results you can see with Botox. In my opinion, this type of advertising is deceptive and really should not be allowed.
Botox proven better than Strivectin
I notice that we no longer see the ads with the tagline "Strivectin: Better than Botox?" The reason is that someone actually did a study comparing the two products with Botox the clear winner. The thing is that Botox has a very specific effect on the muscles that cause winkles, while strivectin is a skin cream that might be nice but doesn't do what Botox does. It would be great if there was something that was less expensive and didn't involve injections, but worked as well as Botox, but there isn't.

Chow Mein (Stir-fried Noodles)
Characteristics: It is a delicious and healthy dish, quick and easy to make.
Chow Mein can be cooked using different kinds of noodles including wide or thin noodles, noodle pieces and a variety of vegetables like carrots, onion, cabbage, green pepper, garlic sprouts, mushrooms, etc.
Ham, egg and meat sometimes are used to cook to better the flavor. This recipe presents the Chow Mein with lean pork. In addition, Chinese people usually add plenty of salt and soy sauce for extra flavor.
200g noodles
100g lean pork (beef or egg can also be used instead)
150g garlic sprouts (cabbage or green beans)
2 small green peppers
1 small carrot
1/2 small onion
1. The amount of ingredients listed above only serves one person.
2. If time permits, you can make some hand-made noodles by yourselves.
chopped ginger
chopped green onion
ground chili
chicken essence (stock/bouillon) or MSG (monosodium glutamate)
cooking wine
soy sauce
tomato ketchup
cooking oil
Note: the amount of the seasonings listed above can be appropriately used according to one's personal taste.
A. Clean the lean pork. Cut into thick slices that are cut into thin strips. Put into a dish.
B. Wash the green peppers. Cut into slices and put into a dish.
C. Peel and clean the onion. Chop into thin slices and put into a dish.
D. Snip the peduncles of the garlic sprouts. Cut it into 2-3 cm long sections. Put into a dish after washed.
E. Wash and peel carrot. Cut into thin strips. Put into a dish.
Coat the lean pork strips by adding in cooking wine, soy sauce, salt, chicken essence or monosodium glutamate. Stir well it with chopsticks until you feel it is a bit sticky.
Noodles are best cooked in a steamer. Fill the steamer pot 1/4 full of water. Grease the steamer basket with a thin layer of oil to prevent the noodles from sticking. Place the steamer basket in the pot, add noodles, cover and steam for 2-3 minutes. Take the noodles out and put into a bowl, add some cooking oil and stir it well with chopsticks. Return noodles to steamer and stream for another 2-3 minutes. Place in a bowl.
Place a wok over high heat until hot. Add some cooking oil, swirling to coat sides. Add the coated lean pork strips and stir-fry until the meat turns pale yellow in color. Add the ground chili, chopped ginger and chopped green onion. Stir-fry for 20 seconds. Add all of the vegetables and fry, stir for 1 minute.
Add some salt and chicken essence and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Finally, add in the steamed noodles and the tomato ketchup, and stir-fry it for a further 1 minute.
Turn off the heat. Chow Mein is cooked. Serve it onto a plate.

Is there any tool in Backtrack that i can sniff msn conversations in my local network?
Thank you
research tell you? By the looks of it you didn't research anything.
The first link is down and the second give;s me only windows solutions :(
Any tutorial?
You can use wireshark, search on it, you'll get answers. There's also another tool, it was already mentioned in this forums. Use the search function.
Ok i found how to do it using wireshark but the interface is not so easy to read every message so i found msn shadow that seems to be what i want.
I hope this to be the best solution...
msn shadow is useless it sniffs only local chat and not remote users in the network.
Maybe if you had some knowledge on network basics you would know why doesn't it work. Be aware that you can get to jail if you're illicitly sniffing other people conversations.
I know why it doesn't work and i know about jail.
I am looking for a solution as i just test it on my network with my brother and my wife i think i am safe from jail :)
I am talking about my brother :)
Anyway thank you for your advice.

Useful info you won't find anywhere else
Big Shot
X Scream
Man, the rides on top of the Stratosphere just keep getting scarier and
scarier. First they put a roller coaster on top, which was the
highest roller coaster in the world. Then they put up the Big
Shot, which accelerates you straight up as the whole world seems to
disappear below you. Then they built a ride that put you over the
edge. Then they built another ride which put you over the
edge, but that one actually points you towards the ground and dangles
you. How were they gonna top that?
Well, they did. The newest ride has you jumping off the tower, "skydiving" 108 stories to the ground. God. Damn! There's no parachute, you travel along zip lines which have a braking system. The only downside is the price -- $100 per jump. (If that's out of your budget then Insanity (below) will give you almost as good a scare for only $12.) SkyJump has its own website. I'll tip off parents with thrill-seeking kids that the minimum age is 14, because typical of the Stratosphere, their website does a pretty good job of making useful info like that near-impossible to find.
The picture at right (which I took from a YouTube video) shows how the launch works. You walk to the edge of a short platform, hold the bar on each side of you, lean forward, and then just let go. So you don't actually "jump", but whatever, close enough.
Insanity. This is a spinning ride that dangles you over the edge. Actually, it's worse than that, because as it spins your seat is lifted backward so you're staring right down at the ground. It's exactly as terrifying as it sounds. The first two times I went to the top to try it I chickened out. I was able to do it only on my third trip. You can hear the screams from ground level, by the way. If all that doesn't give you pause, note that two riders were stuck dangling over the edge for an hour and a half when high winds caused the ride to shut itself down. Anyway, if you want to be scared, this is your ticket. I'll help parents with adventurous tykes by noting that the minimum height for this ride is 52", since typically the Stratosphere doesn't bother to put that info on their own website. This ride opened on March 10, 2005.
X Scream. This one is a see-saw thingie that dangles you over the edge. It doesn't go as far over the edge as Insanity, and you definitely feel more enclosed and grounded, and it's not nearly as terrifying, as long as you're not sitting up front. One nice touch is that on one of the runs after your cars get to the edge of the platform, the whole arm stutters and drops the angle even more, making you think for a second that the thing broke and you're about to hurtle towards your death, ha ha. Minimum height for this ride is 52". It opened on Halloween 2003. In Nov. 2005 six Japanese tourists were stranded on the ride for an hour and a half when the power went out. Photo from Screamscape | Article from Coaster-Net | Article from Vegas.com
Big Shot. This is the one that made the Stratosphere famous. You're strapped into a chair with your legs dangling, and then they shoot you straight up the tower's steeple, 160 feet in two seconds, at four G's. Then they freefall you so you get negative G's, then shoot you up again, etc. If this ride started at ground level it would be scary, but add to that the fact that you're a fifth of a mile from the ground and it's terrifying. As you're going up you worry that the brakes will fail and you'll go straight off the steeple and land down the strip at the Sahara. Minimum height for this ride is 48". (Notice in the picture that you can see Insanity on the right-hand side.)
• Canyon Blaster
• Chaos
• Inverter
• Rim Runner
• Sling Shot
The Canyon Blaster is the only indoor double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster on the planet. It drops 90 feet and hits 55mph over a 2,000 foot long track, and lasts 1:45.
Chaos is a three-dimensional tilt-a-whirl, tilting, spinning, and flipping riders at the same time. No two rides are the same. (review at Vegas.com)
Inverter keeps you upside-down and staring at an upcoming wall of concrete for a full four seconds before turning you right-side up again. The ride is a generous two minutes during off-peak hours. (review at Vegas.com)
Rim Runner is the only indoor flume in the world, featuring a 60-foot drop which will soak you but good.
Sling Shot, the newest addition, is Circus Circus' answer to the Stratosphere's Big Shot, shooting you straight up a column at 4 G's.
As of September 2006, all rides are $7, but you can get an all-ride pass for $23. Here's the official page for the Adventuredome Theme Park, where the rides are located.
Casino Player magazine says: "At two minutes and 45 seconds, it's easily the longest-lasting ride in Las Vegas. Top speed is 67 mph and the biggest drop is 144 feet, but what keeps everyone coming back for more is the insane 540-degree spiral, not to mention the fact that it takes place over a pretty solid replica of New York Harbor. If this ride doesn't put you in a "New York State of Mind", nothing will."
I won't ride this one again because it whips your head back and forth into the projections on the headrest. I wonder how many people get mild brain damage from this thing. (more info)
In Primm, Nevada (40 miles south of Las Vegas on I-15), 1-800-FUN-STOP
Desperado is a VERY tall coaster. You start off with a crazy 225-foot drop down a 55-degree hill, reaching speeds of up to 80 mph. Here's more info and video of the ride.
If that's not enough, you can try the Turbo Drop, which is similar to Stratosphere's Big Shot, except that it climbs slowly and then shoots you straight down instead of straight up.

Reason #1 I like Bovada:
Most online casinos annoy the hell out of me. They insult you with popup windows and spam, and do everything they can to separate you from your money. Even if you want to just play with fake money for free, they make you register for an account so they can pester you by email trying to get you to deposit real money.
On the whole Internet, I found exactly one online casino that's different: Bovada. You can play their games for free, with absolutely no hassles. And that's the main reason why I promote them exclusively.
Here's what I mean by no hassles:
All in all, I think Bovada is the best bet for U.S. players.

The late boxing great Joe Frazier may get a statue in his hometown of Philadelphia. Mayor Michael Nutter joined members of Frazier's family on Wednesday to announce a fundraising campaign for the sculpture. Nutter says the goal is to raise $150,000, which will pay for the memorial and a maintenance fund. ''Smokin' Joe'' was a former heavyweight champion and the first fighter to beat Muhammad Ali. Frazier died last year of liver cancer at age 67. His statue will be placed at Xfinity Live, an entertainment complex near Philadelphia's three sports stadiums. A spokesman for the complex announced a $25,000 donation to kick-start the fundraising campaign. --- Online: http://www.frazierstatue.com

SAS College Rugby League Under-85kg and Under-15 Finals
SAS College Rugby League Under-85kg and Under-15 Grand Finals
The first finals of the 2014 SAS College Rugby League season took place at Mount Smart Stadium #2 on Wednesday July 2.
The opening game was an all St Paul's affair, with two of the school's under-15 sides going head-to-head for ultimate honours.
St Paul's Blue got the scoring underway on three minutes, crossing through standoff Daymon Abbey.
The brother of current Junior Warriors fullback Bradley, Abbey displayed quick feet and vision throughout the contest and looks one to watch in the future.
Maroon hit back with a couple of tries of their own, dominating off the back of some positive play from mobile back-rower PJ Toalima.
In a back-and-forth contest the teams traded blows before half time, with Maroon taking an 18-12 lead into the break.
Swift hands saw big centre Mike Williams go over in the corner to start the second period, before man of the match Star Toa shut down a Blue attack by scooping a loose ball and running 100 metres to score the game-sealing try.
St Paul's Maroon beating their blue brothers 28-16 to take out the SAS CRL under-15 Grand Final.
The field was pelted by rain prior to kick off in the under-85kg match, with a big crowd gathering under the shelter of the grandstand.
They might be classified as cruiserweights, but the battle on the field was worthy of the heavyweight tag, as both teams clashed with crunching hits on both sides of the ball.
After kicking off it took Mangere under a minute to get the ball back, as their aggressive line speed forced a St Paul's error.
Mangere got over for the first try on 10 minutes, with St Paul's returning serve through centre Eliu Letuituia.
St Paul's booted a penalty just before oranges to lead 8-6 at the midway point.
The crowd were getting into the contest and riding every hit, and a penalty from Mangere standoff Tamore Nati opened the second-half scoring.

Historically, massive increases in asset prices during a short period of time has created bubbles which invariably pop.
Steemit goes to Amsterdam for a three-day SteemFest conference. It may usher in other decentralised platforms to introduce true competition as an engine for improvement in the social media market.
Blockchain Conference Amsterdam is a blockchain event taking place in Amsterdam on June 9th 2016, organised by Fintech Worldwide Ltd, who have run similar conferences all over the globe.
Entrepreneurs and enthusiasts from the US and Europe gather in Amsterdam to explore the future of decentralization, Bitcoin, the Blockchain, disruptive technology, and the future of work.
The number of Bitcoin merchants has risen, the value of Bitcoin startups has increased and most importantly, awareness of Bitcoin has increased in countries with poor banking or financial systems.
Bitcoin Embassy Amsterdam "forks" into two versions
Bad news for the Dutch Bitcoin scene: a thief stole two of Amsterdam's Bitcoin-ATMs (BTMs). As of yet, the offenders have not been caught.
While in Amsterdam during my vacation in Holland, I did not miss the opportunity to visit almost every local Bitcoin-friendly business participating in the Bitstraat program in the city.
The Bitcoin Embassy in Amsterdam opened its doors just last month on December 12, 2014, and it is already hosting regular events for such companies as OpenBazaar and BitPay, as well as organizing social get-togethers several times a week.
Several countries have tried to become the "Bitcoin Capital of the World" during the last year, and the competition only seems to be growing. The Isle of Man made the attempt, UK banks pulled the rug out from under their feet, and Australia is certainly one of the world's leading Bitcoin countries.
CoinTelegraph continues in-depth coverage from Bitcoin2014 Amsterdam.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
A retreat is often mistaken as a withdrawal of military forces upon defeat, or even more so ridiculous, an operation intended to lull the enemy into a false sense of security. It is in fact, the athletic predecessor to running on the Olympic scale. When an army faces its enemy, it may decide to approach their forces and just when they open fire upon their advance, they immediately turn around and run back to the nearest base without getting wounded or killed.
edit History
In modern times, the world is brought together by sporting events, such as the football World Cup and the Olympics. As well as showing off the competitive skills of each nation, it draws a spirit of goodwill between all of the countries involved. In the 18th and 19th century, there were no sporting events to keep the world together in peace and harmony. Instead, they had war. Each nation pitted against one another in the period of the Age of Reason. Empires, revolutions, piracy, civil wars, diplomacy, and best of all: retreating.
When Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned Emperor of France in 1804, he rebuilt France, strengthening her armies, expanding the empire, reorganised society, glorified the countryside, crowned himself emperor for life and uh… kicked out the nobles who said they were leaders for life, I guess. But above all, he introduced a new sport that would become the national sport of France: retreating.
Upon establishing the Grande Armeé, Napoleon had the problem of dealing with the French soldier's fear of attacking anyone who isn't French. This issue was discovered in 1803 when he was forced to call off the invasion of England; just before his armies boarded the ships, they were brutally defeated by a gust of wind blowing the navy back to Boulogne. He decided that the best way to deal with this was to beef up the French forces by putting them through athletic programmes to increase their physical strength. Unfortunately, this had an adverse effect, as the fitness lessons taught the French troops to run faster and gave them a better chance of high tailing it out of a war zone alive. As a result, retreating from battle was born.
edit Famous retreats
edit 1812 - French invasion of Russia
In 1812, the Napoleonic wars reached a high when the Grande Armeé punched above their weight and took on Russia. Upon stepping into the Russian border, the French troops immediately picked a fight with the snow. They were defeated, and started the long retreat back home.
edit 1940 - Nazi invasion of France
France did themselves in again and pulled off yet another spectacular retreat, this time in WWII and on their own turf. The Nazi troops had taken over Holland and Belgium, a third invasion was imminently planned, this time on France. Realising this, the French government immediately drew up various excuses for not defending their land. Finally, as the German forces drew closer to their capital, the French claimed that they didn't want to ruin their beautiful city of Paris. They began to retreat and retreat and retreat, until there was no more France left for the Germans to conquer. They decided to retreat in on themselves and dress up as chickens to represent their attitude towards the war. From this idea of disguising themselves from the enemy, the French Resistance was born.
edit Legacy and modern retreats
Thanks to retreating, the idea of running as a sport has made it to the world stage. In Napoleon's time, the farthest a musket ball could be fired was 100 metres, giving birth to the modern Olympic event: the 100 metres gold. The idea of the starter using a pistol, also derives from retreating from the sound of the enemy guns. When the British invaded Jamaica in the 1600s, the natives fled from the European guns. Today, the fastest man alive is Usain Bolt, a Jamaican. However, while it has thrived as a sport, the actual military origin of withdrawal has felled in the years. In August 2008, journalists sent to the Georgian border to interview anti-Russian separatists had to go home empty-handed, as all of their interviewees had run off.

HIP HOP NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW...CHRIS BROWN: Blame the Haters
Are the haters to blame for Chris Brown's recent seizure?
A publicist for Brown sent a statement to TMZ over the weekend claiming that the seizure was triggered by "intense fatigue and extreme emotional stress, both due to the continued onslaught of unfounded legal matters and the nonstop negativity."
The rep also noted that the Brown suffered an NES, or Non-Epileptic Seizure.
Brown hasn't commented on the situation directly, but over the weekend did tweet, "They won't love you until you are a memory."
- If the stress is that great, then Chris needs to take a break.
- It's hard to claim that you're fatigued by negativity when you're also out in the clubs every night.
- Is a full-on nervous breakdown in Chris' future? Let's hope not.

Learning Japanese is not just language learning. Since the way Japanese think is inextricably woven into their language, it is also a doorway to a new world. In elementary courses speaking, listening, reading and writing are equally emphasized. Advanced courses allow students to enjoy modern Japanese poetry and short stories in the original and discuss them in Japanese. Students may petition for a special major in Japanese or they may focus on the study of the language or literature as Asian Studies majors.

National 2 minute stopwork to mark Hillside closure
Media release: Rail & Maritime Transport Union
Thursday December 20, 2012
National 2 minute stopwork to mark Hillside closure
KiwiRail workers across the country will stop work for two minutes at 11am this Friday to mark the passing of 130 years of engineering work at Hillside Workshops.
Last month KiwiRail announced Hillside's foundry had been sold to Bradken Engineering with the retention of 18 jobs, and KiwiRail will keep 7 workers to run its heavy lift maintenance operation, but the rest of Hillside will close on Friday, with 90 job losses.
Wayne Butson, RMTU General Secretary said Hillside had made a huge contribution to the New Zealand rail industry and the Dunedin economy over the past 130 years.
"Hillside has a very proud history, and rail workers across the country wanted a way to mark the significance of its closure," he said.
"It really is with a deep sense of sadness that the occasion will be marked, and rail workers can't help but regret this totally avoidable situation – KiwiRail's decision to not bid for either the $500 million contract for Auckland's new trains, or for some or all of the 4000 flat top wagons has directly contributed to the closure of Hillside."
"Most other countries would be proud of an asset like Hillside, and do their absolute best to keep it operational. Regrettably, New Zealand's government is more focused on pumping billons of dollars into roading, and expecting rail to be self sufficient yet compete with this massive subsidy.
"A giant in the rail industry has fallen. Rail workers will take a moment on Friday to mark Hillside's passing," Wayne Butson.

Have you or someone you love become a victim of surgical malpractice? I have a team of aggressive bad surgery lawyers and malpractice attorneys and we will fight to get you the settlement you deserve. The Ken Nunn Law Office has been standing up for the rights of injured people in our communities for more than 49 years.
Let's face it; all surgeries come with risks – and sometimes complications happen despite the best of care. However, as a patient you place an enormous amount of trust in the doctors and other medical professionals responsible for your well-being. When you're under anesthesia, you assume that your surgical procedure will be performed correctly and carefully. Mistakes during surgery are a violation of that trust – and the serious complications they cause are simply inexcusable.
Some of the most common factors for surgical errors include:
- Unclean surgical tools
- Surgery performed on the wrong organ or the wrong surgical site
- Organ perforation
- Anesthesiology errors
If you suffered injury from surgical malpractice, you should know that the state of Indiana has laws that determine how long malpractice victims have to file a claim. In most circumstances, you have two years from the alleged act, omission or neglect to file a legal claim, except in cases involving a minor or an injury that isn't immediately apparent. The Indiana Medical Malpractice Act also mandates that all medical malpractice claims must be reviewed by a medical review panel before the claim can be filed in court.
When dealing with complex malpractice laws, you need the experience of knowledgeable surgical malpractice lawyers. How do you choose the right lawyers? The answer is simple — Choose the Ken Nunn Law Office. Put my experience on your side. I want nothing more than to see you and your family live normal, happy lives. I have dedicated my life to fighting for the rights of Indiana's injured. Money can never replace the real costs of a medical error, but it can help stop the downward spiral that follows such a tragic event and it will help you while you are on the road to recovery. If you are still suffering from a surgical malpractice, I will help you find qualified doctors to treat your injuries, and I will help you process your medical bills.
When you need experienced surgical malpractice lawyers on your side, call the Ken Nunn Law Office at 1-800-CALL-KEN. We believe in returning phone calls fast! The initial consultation is free and the clock is running, so don't delay. Call now!

Rihanna Refuses to Comment on Charlie Sheen Controversy
She's the latest celebrity to be targeted by an angry Charlie Sheen Twitter rant and Rihanna isn't interested in stepping into the battle zone.
Last night (May 22) the "We Found Love" singer posed with a fan outside Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica as paparazzi hounded her with questions regarding the former "Two and a Half Men" actor's harsh words.
But rather than wade into the tumultuous waters of wackjobbery, Ri-Ri smiled and just kept walking.
Sheen previously tried to set up an introduction between Rihanna and his fiancé Brett Rossi when he found out they were all having dinner at Baldi, but she declined the invite.
Afterwards, Charlie went off- "I took my gal out to dinner last night with her best friends for her Bday. We heard Rihanna was present as well. I sent a request over to her table to introduce my fiancé Scotty to her, as she is a huge fan. Personally I couldn't pick her out of a line-up at gunpoint."
After indicating that it was a no-go, Sheen continued, "No biggie for me; it would have been 84 interminable seconds of chugging Draino and 'please kill me now' that I'd never get back."

Shepard pioneering Wisconsin's hazelnut, chestnut industry
Hazelnuts and chestnuts aren't new to the United States, but they're not as ubiquitous as peanuts or cashews. Fans of the delicious nuts often have to look hard to find these treats, which are extremely popular in European countries.
Although hazelnuts are widely grown in the Pacific Northwest, they're just beginning to appear in Wisconsin, but growing on hybrid bushes rather than trees. These hybrids, under development in the Upper Midwest since the 1930s, are hardier and more resistant to our winters.
One farmer taking a lead role in the Wisconsin hazelnut -- and chestnut -- industry is Mark L. Shepard, Consulting Agroforester at Forest Agriculture Enterprises, near Viola in the southwestern part of the state. Shepard is, literally, writing the book on growing hazelnuts -- also called filberts in the U.S. -- in Wisconsin. His handbook is currently in production.
Being a huge fan of both hazelnuts and the more acquired taste of chestnuts, I was eager to talk to Shepard about his work.
OMC: What gave you the idea to begin growing hazelnuts and chestnuts in Wisconsin? They're not typical here, are they?
MS: My intention was to discover, plant and manage a farm that was a functional, permanent ecosystem instead of a monocrop that was bare soil for eight months of the year. Hazelnuts are native to the region. Chestnuts appeared in isolated pockets.
OMC: What had you been farming previously? Did you make a big switch or was it gradual?
MS: I operated a landscape design and construction company. (I) grew up on a "farmette" with a huge garden, fruit, nuts, goats, chickens, pigs, woodlot, etc. Instead of just living the farmette lifestyle I wanted to discover if it was possible for human beings to get their staple foods from permanent plants.
Wes Jackson and the Land Institute has been theorizing for years about developing perennial grain crops to no avail. Why not woody crops? Hence the chestnut (nutritionally equivalent to corn) and the Hazel (nutritionally equivalent to the soybean with three times the oil) as the staple food crops to be grown on the farm.
What I can't or don't sell for the human consumption market can go for biodiesel or animal feed. I never have to plow, plant, cultivate, spray, herbicide again. The cost savings alone for not doing just those five operations are huge. Magnify that by millions of farmers and you have astronomically huge fuel savings.
OMC: How long have you been growing the hazels? Chestnuts?
MS: I grew up in New England among the remnants of the blight-ravaged American Chestnut. Beaked hazel grew along streambanks. I've been interacting with these plants all my life. As an "official" farmer, I've been growing commercial quantities of both for seven years now.
OMC: You grow a hybrid hazelnut plant, is that correct? On your farm we won't see the trees that are more typical in Europe and the Pacific Northwest will we?Page 1 of 2 (view all on one page)

| It is important to me as a consumer to know up front if the products I am buying are gluten-free. It is not simply enough to say wheat-free on the package as there are other sources of gluten that are harmful to Celiacs like myself. I believe that a gluten-free notice on all gluten-free food products would make shopping and cooking easier. As Celiac Disease is a growing diagnosis in the medical world, I think the country as a whole should be making an effort to help CD patients find the products they can and can't have without question of hidden glutens to worry about.
Thank you,

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which has been tracking refugee flows into Europe on a weekly basis, reported that while numbers were down from those measured in November and early December, at more than 3,000 a day this week, they were still overwhelming EU and Greek authorities. Reuters reports that, in the wake of these numbers, the EU is looking for Turkey to do more to reduce the flows. European leaders believed that, under the terms of the deal the EU signed with Turkey in November, Ankara was supposed to have helped stem the flow of refugees in exchange for a pledged €3 billion in aid. However, as we noted at the time:
Unfortunately, however, the chances are high that the agreement will not succeed in stopping the flow. Turkey has never been entirely in control of its southern border, where Kurdish militants have been active for many years. If the U.S. cannot control the Rio Grande, Turkey will have even greater difficulty with the wild and unsettled border it shares with Syria and Iraq.
Now, the Reuters report seems to show that, indeed, the deal has not so far worked as envisioned:
Frans Timmermans, the deputy head of the executive European Commission, told a news conference on Thursday that data showed arrivals in Greece in recent weeks had shown little change since the EU pledged cash and other concessions to Turkey on Nov. 29 in return for Turkish help in curbing irregular immigration.
"Over the last couple of weeks, the figures have remained relatively high, so there is still a lot of work to do there," Timmermans said in Amsterdam, noting that he would travel to Turkey for talks on Monday to address a crisis that has divided EU governments and bolstered anti-EU nationalists […]
"We have seen the first results which are encouraging but we are a long way from being satisfied."
When Timmermans gets to Ankara, he's likely to find that the Turks have a different understanding of the deal: The €3 billion was meant to help Ankara handle the refugees they already have, officials have said. Meanwhile, with the agreement, the Europeans gave a major boost in legitimacy to President Erdogan during a year in which the Turkish ruler had become more and more openly authoritarian. Again, from our November comments:
[T]he contrast between the arrogance the EU displays when it feels strong—labeling settlement-made Israeli goods, barring desperately poor farmers in Africa from using GMO crops to enhance their productivity and profits, imposing human rights sanctions on countries too small or too far away to retaliate—and the sweeping concessions it makes when it's reeling, is highly instructive. The deal makes a mockery of European values, it will divide Europe further, and it rewards Erdogan's bad behavior. Because Europe has no real policy on Syrian refugees and no means of developing one in anything like a timely fashion, it was reduced to paying virtually any price Turkey chose to name.
The EU is now finding out that, having done a deal with the devil, it hasn't gotten what it asked for. To make matters worse, Brussels already promised results to an increasingly restive European populace. Whatever Europe does next (Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is advocating bringing Bulgaria into the Schengen Zone and then creating a unified land border, with extra fences), it had better make sure it works—or that it at least levels with its people about the realistic chances for success. Happy talk may keep things calm for a news cycle or two, but a pile of broken promises of progress on immigration are taking a long-term toll on the Continent's political climate.
