Are there monthly dues?
No, there are no re-occurring costs.
What should my child wear for practice?
Clean practice gear should be worn at all times. No jeans or clothing with zippers or buttons is allowed on the mats, as they can injure other wrestlers and tear the mats. Sweat pants, shorts, tee shirts, and sweatshirts are appropriate. Remember, if a singlet is worn to practice, it is now dirty and needs to be washed before wearing again. Wrestling shoes should not be worn to practice, they need to be carried in. Put your wrestling shoes on downstairs or in the wrestling room. Also, no street shoes will be allowed on the mat. If you do not have wrestling shoes, then socks can be worn for practice.
Do I have to take my child to tournaments?
No, but wrestlers are expected to participate in our tournament.
How much does it cost to go to the tournaments?
Tournament costs vary; they range from $10 to $20 and some even more. Most tournaments we go to cost between $12 - $15.
What do you need for tournaments?
Although some tournaments require an AAU or USA card, most will just require you to pay the entry fee. A uniform / singlet is also needed and can be purchased locally. Wrestling shoes are nice to have but not necessary for these events.
Can I watch my child practice?
Due to the rapid growth of our club, we do not have a lot of room in our practice facility for spectators. You are welcome to go up there to watch or check on your child. If you wish you either drop off your child for practices, or spend the practice time downstairs where it's cooler. Coaches will always be available to assist with any and all questions concerning practice or competition. If you come up into the wrestling room, remember, TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF, NO STREET SHOES ON THE WRESTLING MATS.

Cobra Wrestling was started in 2005 by August Manz. The goal was to provide kids, primarily in the west end an opportunity to wrestle where the cost of wrestling was reasonable, to provide solid coaching and to support the Wilson and TJ wrestling programs. At the time there was no wrestling program in the west end and the Wilson and TJ wrestling programs were suffering because of it. As time went on, club participation has grown. We now have kids from all over the community including from outlying area such as Omaha, Avoca, Blair and Glenwood to name a few, but our focus remains true to the west end. Wilson and TJ wrestling programs are now on the rise and we look for good things to come in the future. We welcome wrestlers from all over and hope our efforts will help improve wrestling for all schools in Council Bluffs and Southwest Iowa. Thank-you for your support of the Cobra Optimist Wrestling Club.

Are you a Trophy Hunter Novice Wrestling Parent?
Wrestling in a novice division will only get your child so far. I think a lot of parents keep their kid in novice wrestling to increase their kid's trophy count. Are you one of those parents that kept your kid in novice, even after he was dominating every novice tournament he attended? Today, I would like to talk about the purpose of novice wrestling and why you should put your little wrestler in open as soon as possible. You are Holding your Child Back If your wrestler is winning every novice tournament they wrestle, it is time to move them to open. If you want your kid to become a better wrestler, he needs to wrestle kids that are better than him. Beating up on a true novice wrestler doesn't do your child or his opponent any good. You might be thinking you have a stud wrestler. The reality is that you are limiting your child's potential in the sport of wrestling.
What is the purpose of Novice Wrestling?
The concept of novice wrestling is relatively new. The novice(rookie) division is for introducing children to the sport of wrestling. It allows them to develop the basics, so that when a wrestler is ready, he/she can compete with experienced wrestlers.
Novice Wrestling has become Tainted
Over the years wrestling parents have figure out how to game the system. It is now common to see wrestlers in a novice division that should have went open a long time ago. I have even seen novice wrestlers who claim to be two time novice state champions.
You are Holding your Child Back
If your wrestler is winning every novice tournament they wrestle, it is time to move them to open. If you want your kid to become a better wrestler, he needs to wrestle kids that are better than him. Beating up on a true novice wrestler doesn't do your child or his opponent any good. You might be thinking you have a stud wrestler. The reality is that you are limiting your child's potential in the sport of wrestling.
A Wrestling Trophy is not the Point of Wrestling
If your goal is to collect novice trophies to brag on your child, you are missing the point of wrestling. The whole point of wrestling is to teach your child how to be self-reliant, persevere through tough times, shoot for goals, and grow into a confident adult. Trust me. If your child sticks with wrestling, he will have more trophies and medals than you have room to put them. Eventually you will only display his most important wrestling accomplishments.
Don't impose
your ambitions or expectations on your child. Remember that
wrestling is your child's activity. Improvements and
progress occur at different rates for each individual.
Don't judge your child's progress based on the performance of other athletes and don't push them based on what you think they should be doing.
Be supportive no matter what. There is only one question to ask your child, "Did you have fun?" If meets and practices are not fun you should not force them to participate.
If at all possible, do not coach your child. Your job is to support, love and hug your child no matter what. Conflicting advice and criticism work against the coach's efforts and only serve to confuse and de-motivate your child. If you feel you have the experience and ability to contribute to the club as a coach, volunteer your services through the proper channels. Get involved. Your club needs your help and support. Attend parent and club meetings to find out how you can help.
Most importantly, show your child that you care by attending as many meets and tournaments as possible. Acknowledge your child's fears. Their opponents appear to be much more intimidating through their eyes than through the eyes of a grown-up. Consider their perspective and don't expect them to compete with the confidence and mental toughness of a seasoned expert.
Be a student of the
sport. Wrestlers should focus on being students of the
sport. In school if the wrestler doesn't study he will
fail the test, likewise if the wrestler doesn't learn
the techniques shown in practice he will lose the match.
Coaches should emphasize the importance of being a student
of the sport at every opportunity.
Be a good practice partner. If the wrestler doesn't practice the moves being shown not only will the wrestler not learn, but the wrestler's practice partner will not learn. Wrestlers need to learn the correct aggressiveness/resistance to use when practicing technique and wrestling live. Having a good practice partner is paramount to improving the wrestler's abilities.
Have good sportsmanship. Coaches and spectators should not be able to determine if the wrestler won or lost a match by the handshake alone. Wrestlers should not gloat when winning or throw tantrums when losing. Wrestlers should understand that crying during a wrestling match is not only bad sportsmanship but bad technique. One instance of bad sportsmanship by the wrestler during a match can negate an otherwise successful day of wrestling by the team.
Respect coaches and teammates. If the wrestler doesn't show respect towards the coaches and teammates he will not be a student of the sport, a good practice partner, or have good sportsmanship. There should be no back-talk to coaches or harassment of teammates. The wrestler's lack of respect can spread and infect an entire wrestling room if not dealt with immediately. The wrestler must know that it is a privilege to be in the wrestling room, not a right, and the privilege can be taken away at anytime to protect the whole of the team.

Flint's going was surprise for everyone
Page Tools
David Flint. . .well dressed for a tech teacher.
Christine Lacy is all tears, heartbroken.
Alan Jones's loyal penfriend Professor David Flint must consider letter writing a lost art.
Yesterday, as Flint pulled the plug on his ABA chairmanship (looking more like a butler than media's independent umpire), his directors had to front at his press conference to hear of his decision. Seems the silver-haired one isn't much of a communicator.
"I found out by accident there was an announcement, so I came down to find out what it was," said ABA member Michael Gordon-Smith as he snuck in at the back of the conference.
Sporting a tan pin-striped suit, pristine white kerchief, white-collared striped shirt and silver tie for his swansong, Flint milked the snapping and rolling cameras like a pro.
"I had told board members there would be a 'solution' at the last board meeting," Flint said, yet adamant his early out had nothing to do with his relationship with 2GB's Jones.
Flint finishes on July 2. Beyond that, the monarchist has no plans. "I will certainly be busy," he said. A backlog of letters, no doubt.
Dissecting dishonesty
Down at the asbestos inquiry yesterday, John Sheahan SC started calmly enough when he referred to an email from James Hardie PR boss Greg Baxter to CEO Peter Macdonald and others.
The January 2001 email suggested that a briefing of stockmarket analysts on setting up the asbestos trust would not be webcast live as usual "and we would explain this is due to the technical difficulty".
"I know it's not a big point, Mr Macdonald, but that looks like an example of casual dishonesty really, in prospect," said Sheahan. "Would you agree?"
Things went rapidly downhill after Macdonald said no, he would not agree.
Sheahan: You understood that he was proposing just a little white lie on the website, correct?
Macdonald: He's saying he could explain it, yes, on a basis of technical difficulty, I agree.
- Dishonestly?
- Well it's a proposal, it hasn't actually been carried out yet.
- The proposal is dishonest?
- If Mr Baxter used that explanation it would be not correct.
- It would be dishonest?
- If he used it, it would not be correct.
- Now just what about the word "dishonest" don't you understand Mr Macdonald?
- I believe it would be an incorrect statement if he made it and he didn't have technical difficulties.
- It would be incorrect and made with knowledge of its falsity, would that be fair?
- If he were to make that statement, that's correct.
- And to make an incorrect statement with knowledge of its falsity would be dishonest, would it not?
- If that's the definition of dishonesty that would be the case.
- Does it work for you?
- Well, you're the linguistics expert.
Hardie's barrister Tony Meagher SC leapt to his feet to object and commissioner David Jackson QC nodded in agreement.
"I think we're getting into a slanging match, with respect."
Bob's the loser
Poor old Bob Williams. The soon-to-be-ex-Novus boss seems the only one who missed out on a bit of pie after Indonesia's Medco Energi finally bagged Novus after a lengthy, and somewhat unorthodox, takeover.
Charged with attracting a rival suitor once Medco made its hostile bid way back on Christmas eve, a month later Williams lobbed a bid of his own.
That his $1.77 a share offer was only 3c better than Medco's - which he'd described as too cheap and well shy of past $2 valuations - raised a few eyebrows.
That he decided to stay on in the top job while the takeover unfolded was also interesting.
All was looking good, though, when Williams teamed up with Santos to divvie up the target once the acquisition was done.
But it seems Williams couldn't come up with the cash to keep his side of the bargain when Medco raised its bid to $1.90.
Hasn't worried the pragmatic Santos too much, though. It is expected to get most of what it originally wanted, after striking a deal with Medco. And Williams? Out in the cold.
Love goddess observed
New Foster's boss Trevor O'Hoy would want to have the release of today's much-awaited wine review wrapped up by three o'clock, allowing the grog boss to strap on the goggles and feast his eyes skyward for the transit of Venus.
After all, it's not like the wine glut won't be around long after the love planet has made its rendezvous. The planetary phenomenon hasn't kicked in for 122 years, when even Ted Kunkel was just a twinkle in the night sky.
While O'Hoy has to settle for a viewing from Sydney, we reckon Venus's orbit is what lured seemingly half of corporate Australia's leading lights to the northern hemisphere in the past week or so.
After all, the transit is predicted to be more spectacularly observed from the top half of the world. (Took us a while to work out why they were all there. Wimbledon hasn't started yet.)
London calling
While there's no respite from Melbourne's chills for ousted NAB director Cathy Walter (at least she's got her retirement benefits from the bank to keep her warm), her former colleagues, led by chair Graham Kraehe, are in London for a board and strategy meeting.
Fresh from locking in his three-year $21 million contract, new boss John Stewart landed for the weekend, while BHP Billiton directors are on the ground too.
Chair Don Argus dovetailed the trip with a stopover late last week in California to meet The Terminator (that's Arnie, not Tilburn).
But it's hard to see how Lend Lease chair and BHPB man David "Cindy" Crawford found time to get there too, with the $11 billion GPT merger on his plate and the Telstra chair vacant.

Day 1: Arrive in the colonial port city of Veracruz. You'll be met by Anna and the friendly, highly experienced staff of Esprit Rafting. We'll stay overnight at the Hotel Imperial, one of the oldest hotels in Veracruz, situated right in the heart of the Zocalo, where we can have a few drinks at the outdoor café and enjoy the nightlife.
Day 2: After breakfast we'll head out of town through the foothills of the enchanting Sierra Madre Orientales, to the village of Jalcomulco. This small village, situated in the heart of the Antigua river valley, has lots of local flavor to share! We'll get everyone settled at Aventuras Sin Limites, a local, family-owned rafting base camp. Once everyone is outfitted in boats and gear, we'll eat some lunch, and then head to the pool for some roll practice! The afternoon will be spent in the pool working on the roll and basic paddle strokes. After the pool session you're free to walk around and explore this amazing village before sitting down to some incredibly delicious Mexican food.
Day 3: We'll greet our first morning in Jalcomulco with a yoga class to warm up the body and relax the mind. After yoga, we're served a delicious Mexican breakfast before heading down to the river! Today we'll be playing and learning on a flatwater stretch just below the last rapids on the Pescados section of river near town. We'll spend time on strokes, eddies, and practice some moving water rolls, getting ourselves ready for our first river trip! In the late afternoon we'll head out on a half-hour hike to a natural swimming hole where we can swim, play on the rope swing and take a look at an ancient rock carving. Dinner will be served a la Mexicana tonight at our friend Porfirio's house!
Day 4: Another yoga morning will prepare us for our first river trip! We'll be running a friendly section of the Antigua River between the towns of Apazapan and Coexhala. The focus today is to continue to develop a strong foundation in the basics of strokes, eddies and the moving water roll, all while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Antigua river! Tonight, Gabriel Mendez a well-known local and old friend will cook fresh pizza for us in his very own pizza oven.
Day 5: We begin the day with an invigorating yoga session and breakfast, then head out for our second day on the Antigua River. Depending on the skill level and confidence of the group, we may add a few rapids to our river run! Tonight we get to experience a very special native tradition called a Temascal. The Temascal is the Aztec version of a Native Sweat Lodge. We'll leave feeling cleansed, relaxed and blissful.
Day 6: Yoga and breakfast start the day. Today we hit one of the most beautiful rivers on the planet! The Actopan River is known for its crystal clear aquamarine water that flows out of a natural spring. We'll put-in at a restaurant at the edge of the river, eat lunch on the way and finish at another restaurant where we'll enjoy a delicious dinner! This river has great eddies and rapids to work on our river running skills!
Day 7: This morning we return to the Actopan for the grand finale of the trip! There is a very fun and friendly 20 ft waterfall at the beginning of the river and, yes, beginners can run it!! Those of you ready to take on the adventure can run the waterfall once, twice or many more times to experience the thrill! From here we'll run the rest of the river, then head back to the Zocalo in Veracruz where we'll spend the night before heading out the next day. Congratulations! You're on your way to being a skilled whitewater kayaker!
Day 8: Depart for Veracruz airport to say our farewells.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
How long did the blurriness last? Did he close one eye at a time and see if both, or if only one, eye was affected?
Has his vision returned to normal now?
Also, other then the blurry vision, did he have, or is he having now, any other symptoms or problems
It affected both eyes at once. It last o ff and one for about a minute or so. It has stabilized now. No other symptoms.
I see that you are typing and that could mean a couple of things: 1. you are actually typing or, 2, the chat system has frozen up. I'll give it a few more minutes and if I've not seen anything from you I'll switch over to the Q&A system. That system works a lot like 'text messaging' but, unlike the chat system, it almost never freezes up. We can continue to work on your question there. :o)
No. What information do you need.
I am Rick's wife and I have those and it does not seem to me that he has the same symptoms. Mine include as what you desribed above. Like a Kaleidscope moving across your field of vision.
He said it was as if someone just pulled something across his field of vision for a few seconds; like he had taken his glasses off. The TV screen was very blurry. It came and went twice. He has now developed a slight headache. He has been watched for Glaucoma over the years and has had metal in his eye a few times. It scared him so much that the tears were running down his face. We are going ot make an appt with the opthamologist as he is due for one.

Children of Junior 8 Gather to Share Views with G8 World Leaders
Russian Federation hosts youth forum as part of G8 summit.
Pushkin, Russian Federation, July 10, 2006: Young people from G8 countries today opened the "Junior 8" in Pushkin, near St. Petersburg. With an agenda that parallels the G8 itself, they will have the opportunity to share their views directly with the world's leaders.
The Junior 8 has brought together more than 60 youths aged 13- 17, representing all G8 countries, to discuss what they think the G8 leaders should do about some of the most serious global issues.
Hosted by the Russian Federation Government, in partnership with UNICEF, the Junior 8 will focus on the key themes of this year's G8 agenda: Education, Energy Security and HIV/AIDS. The children will also discuss violence and other issues they see as priorities. Their recommendations will be presented to the G8 leadership.
"The decisions that are made this week by the leaders of the G8 will affect the future, and the future is where we will all live the rest of our lives," said UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman, at the opening of the Junior 8. "In an increasingly global village, as we are drawn closer together both literally and figuratively, these young people represent not just the J8, but all countries around the world."
"It is important that the G8 leaders listen to the views of children, because the children will have to live with the decisions those leaders make," added UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Sir Roger Moore, attending the launch of Junior 8.
The participants include young people from each of the G8 member countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Russian Federation, UK and USA. The views of children from non-G8 countries, will be included via a series of videoconferences linking the Junior 8 to children from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.

Call to eliminate gender pay gap
Three decades after equal pay legislation came into force in Britain, women still receive significantly less pay than men, the Equal Opportunities Commission has said.
Its report, Just Pay, concludes that the long-term results of the pay gap are poverty, social exclusion, inadequate pensions and limited access to training.
The commission wants the gap to be halved within five years and completely eradicated within eight.
Since the Equal Pay Act was introduced in 1970, the gap between average hours earnings for men and women in full-time work had narrowed from 31% to 18%, the report found.
But according to the commission the proportion of men's full-time wages that women working part-time received had hardly altered.
The gap stood at 39%, the widest gulf in any EU country, the commission found.
While professional women had seen their incomes rise, many others were trapped in low-paid, part-time jobs, the study found.
Scotland's gaping gulf
Scotland had the largest gap between men and women's earnings.
Here the gender earnings gap was 19% - 1% higher than the UK figure and 6% higher than in Wales.
The commission's Scotland Commissioner, Professor Joan Stringer, condemned the figures as "disgraceful".
"Low wages trap women in poverty and prevent them form acquiring new skills and preparing for retirement," Professor Stringer said.
"The gap between men and women's pay in Scotland is wider than in Britain as a whole and the British pay gap is the worst in Europe.
"This is not something that we can be proud of," she said.
The commission accused employers of complacency and called for new laws to force them to carry out pay reviews.
But the CBI said that would be ineffective and would impose an unnecessary and excessive burden on companies.

The Pearl Necklace
This story is COPYRIGHT 2006, all rights reserved.
Bondage in all forms made me squirm, from the physical reality of handcuffs and rope to the mental thrill of being told not to move. I even enjoyed the way rings on my fingers and the barbell through my tongue felt, because to me it was another form of bondage. Feeling the jewellery there reminded me of bondage by changing or restricting the movements of a body part.
I was sitting thinking about this while I gazed at my husband across the table at our favorite restaurant. I was wearing a stunning white dress cut much like a movie starlet might wear. A collar made of three rows of pearls adorned my neck, and on each wrist I wore a matching bracelet. These were the subtle ways that I showed my submission to my lover.
I caught him admiring the nape of my neck, a place he often pressed warm kisses. Over the candlelight his eyes danced with a spark that I recognized as a building urge to devour me much like a lion relishes in the thrill of a kill. I tilted my head slightly, stretching my neck a little, my fingertips playing gently with the pearls there.
Smiling, he patted the plush velvet beside him, beckoning me to join him on his side of the table. We were sitting in a deep rounded booth and so I slid from my side over to his without having to stand up. My senses were heightened as I now felt that everyone in the restaurant might think it weird that we were sitting together instead of across from one another as most people do. He caught the blush on my cheeks and softly kissed me there.
In a hushed tone he whispered to me that my hands were now to be tied at my sides, that they were no longer able to move. He told me to imagine that the pearl bracelets I wore were actually attached to my waist and would break should I make any movement over an inch. I felt heat spreading between my legs as I imagined the situation and obediently sat still. He turned away from me and began to drink from his wine. For a few minutes, we just sat in silence.
His hand slid over my thigh slowly and caressed my skin through the soft material of my dress. He stroked my leg upwards, moving towards my pussy, and was soon firmly rubbing me through the dress and my panties. I must have looked surprised because he leaned to whisper that I must remember to stay still and not draw attention to us. The table was situated in a way that people around the room couldn't see what was going on underneath the tablecloth, but I couldn't help but feel like everyone was watching.
I almost jumped when a waiter came by our table, clearing my plate from the other side. My lover's hand closed over my mound and pressed into my body tightly. I felt myself growing wet with the excitement of what we were doing he asked to be served dessert. As the waiter left for the kitchen, my husband turned to kiss the nape of my neck and his fingers now crept up under my clothes. I gasped quietly as his fingers found the edge of my panties, quickly slipping underneath and seeking out my clit.
I struggled not to move my hands, aware of the pearl bracelets on my wrists and the cuffs they represented. My pussy grew wetter as his hands became more forceful and hunted down my orgasm, working to make me cum. I was sure that my face was shining red and I felt the skin of my chest begin to flush. My whole body stiffened as he ran his fingers up and down my slit and plucked and tugged at my growing clit. I felt my pleasure cresting, my pussy swelling and clenched my hands at my sides.
I almost let out a moan as I began to cum, my pussy juice gushing down over his hands and soaking my dress. My husbands hands expertly massaged me through the ripples and shudders as I came while I desperately fought to stay still, hands by my sides. He left me panting and struggling to keep my composure.
He had barely whispered to me that I was now released of my bonds as a waiter appeared at our table with two plates full of sweet delights for dessert. I touched my hair, a nervous habit, and smiled quietly, wondering if the waiter had seen anything. He left our cake with a disinterested nod and I knew we had been undiscovered.


text: CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Jan. 25, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Busey Corporation's (Nasdaq:BUSE) net income was $7.3 million and net income available to common stockholders was $6.0 million, or $0.09 per fully-diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2010. In comparison, the company reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 of $27.6 million and a net loss available to common stockholders of $29.2 million, or $0.49 per fully-diluted common share. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $23.2 million and net income available to common stockholders was $18.1 million, or $0.27 per fully-diluted common share, compared to a net loss in 2009 of $323.1 million and a net loss available to common stockholders of $327.9 million, or $7.85 per fully-diluted common share. The 2009 net loss was primarily due to total provision expense of $252.0 million, of which $54.0 million was in the fourth quarter and $208.2 million of goodwill impairment in the third quarter. Our priorities remain balance sheet strength, profitability and growth – in that order . Since the first quarter of 2010, we have demonstrated improvement in non-performing loans, capital ratios and profitability in each quarter. We expect to continue to see gradual improvement in non-performing loans and profitability while maintaining high capital ratios. As noted in our prior quarter's release, we have turned much of our attention toward growth and raising capital to support our future growth plans. In December 2010, we completed offerings of our common stock and a series of convertible preferred stock, together yielding net proceeds of $84.3 million, pushing our total regulatory capital ratio in excess of 16% and our regulatory tier 1 capital and leverage ratios in excess of 15% and 11%, respectively. In January 2011, we delivered an initiative and the tools to our front line associates in an effort to spur organic growth. We also believe that the recent capital raise allows us to contemplate external growth opportunities as they become available.

I was browsing NB, and saw a thread referring to you having only a week left to live.. Thus I integrated this outlook on cellular reconstruction.
My Conclusion To His Thread
(Read this thread so this section will make sense, it was a reply to his thread)
Write about my life, who I am/who I was.. I'd hide it where anyone could find it (make mass copies).. Why I'd do this? I believe that if we don't go to heaven our atomic structure is slowly put back together (with different cells) creating you in a different image (hence why we have different sized animals, and/or hybrids etc.) Thus, if I ever found the note (or if someone else found it, and they took it into consideration, we would all know that rebirth or simulating over time would be plausible)
Meaning.. I proved that we do indeed regroup at a circular level.
My Hypothesis On Cellular Reconstruction
Indeed it did. However, does it not seem realistic? If heaven nor hell exist this would be the only rather plausible situation based outcome would it not? Rotting in a hole our cells are spread (it may take time to re-simulate the person) thus we can be created into many things.. Animals? Humans? It's really not that illogical when you think about it.. However, I want the latter to exist (Heaven/Hell).
The human body possess Trillions of cells. This is a common factor in which many people may already know. That being said do you believe that those Trillions of cells would be destroyed without some small percentage escaping the inevitable? That is where you resolve lies.. In that answer itself..
Lets take this into hand. Sperm, with interaction with a female makes a child correct? What is in sperm? DNA (cells).. Cells are everywhere I believe in the air, in your water etc.. Those aren't your cells (most of the time).. It's like you taking blood from another patient with the same blood type as you. You have been given another persons cells.
Okay, now saw that you're dead, and your cells are spread into the world someone intakes a majority or more than 1/3 of your cellular makeup to which then they have sex. You're born along with which every other cells you get, and then your parents cells. Depending on the cellular make up (rather your cells are overpowered by someone else's) determines rather or not you'll be the "conscious" of that new body.
Get what I'm saying?
- Cellular Reconstruction is possible in theory (hence why we have animal species showing humane actions).
- Cellular Reconstruction is the reason for hybrids, and disproportional properties we may inherit.
- It's technically rebirth, although this isn't meant to disapprove the thought of Heaven/Hell (I'm an avid Christian).

Denaun Porter Talks Eminem, Shady Records & His Own Growth [Feature]
Shady was involved in a lot of rap beef. From inheriting 50's Murda Inc. beef, to the back and forth with Benzino and the Source magazine. Looking back on it now, how did you get through all of that?
I think that in this business, you going to run into those things, and you just hope that it doesn't get to a point that it gets to sometimes. Any rap beef or whatever they call it these days, its natural to be that way, especially when you're young and rah rah rah. You ain't gonna let nobody talk about you and take you out. I think that's what Em's position most of the time was, and our position as a label, was defending ourselves. That's how I always looked at it. If you saying something about Em, you're saying something about us. And if you saying something about us, you saying something about him. Ultimately, when I think about it now, it could have went different. It could have went a lot worse. We won.
I think you can say that.
I don't think anybody should take a position–magazines or whatever–to try and destroy anybody. You can't. You can't do that. You can't take a piece of power that you have and misuse it, and that's what they did. They tried to make it a racial issue at one point. But look man, dude is fresh. You can't take that talent away from him. Put him up against whatever, you can't take that talent away. That's my homie. Fuck everything else. I've seen that since he helped me get my first real job, and showed me how to make sure I went to that job–as a person. Outside of what I knew as a father, my own father was a great father, and having him as a friend and he's such a great father, helped me become the person I am today. You can't take that away from him. There was one point in time where a lot of DJs were beefing with rappers and I was like, this is stupid. We're destroying the culture. That ain't what Kool Herc and them dudes built. We started misusing it. When you look at those beefs, how they went, they were incorrect. They were morally incorrect.
Were you close while Eminem was going through some of the drama over the last few years of his life? Or was he completely confined to himself?
It was a lot of confinement at that time. He didn't really want people to see him that way. His management did everything that they could to help him get well. You have to allow that healing process. It's not gonna happen overnight. I didn't even know everything, and that's my homie. Fuck music. Fuck all that. That's my dude. I didn't even know the totality or how deep the situation was. I learned after. I had emotional moments way after, cause I was like, wow, I didn't even know and this is my friend. And I was going through something myself, physically, spiritually, mentally, about Proof. I wasn't fully aware, just as he wasn't fully aware of what I went through.
You made it sound like you fell back, as well.
Yeah, I started a sound design company. I'm actually finishing that project that I started in the middle of 2006. I put my head in that. It dealt with music, but I wasn't making music really. I was doing Pharoahe Monch, but I had already started that, so it was kind of like finishing stuff that I had already did. Anything that people got from me was stuff that I had already created. I was doing the sound design thing and that was a brilliant idea that's just not being finished, because I had to remember where my headspace was at.
You didn't have it in you for a little while it sounds like.
Yeah, man, I was disgusted with music. My friend got killed and it was people with him that are alive. I felt like if he had been a regular Joe that was just in there and got into it, it probably wouldn't have went that way. In him being there, he didn't have no business totally being there anyway. But I felt like wow, y'all know this cat; y'all know what his worth is even to his community and the people that depend on him to wake up in the morning. I was mad at music. I wasn't in the mood to do shit. I'm trying to get away from it. My man got a little bit going on for himself in life, and some people took that shit away from him. I didn't wanna do music at all. I was in a fucked up ass relationship. It made me fall into that. It was just a big block. I tried to block everything that had to do with music. I had a crazy, crazy studio in the basement, and I ain't walk in there to do shit. That's when I started making drum sounds. I'm looking into making sounds and trying to pick songs for movies and shit like that.
But you got back into music. Was it 'cause this is your job? Or was it because you found your passion again?
I had lost my confidence and I had lost my drive. When you lose your confidence, you lose a lot. I wasn't confident that I could compete at all. I wasn't in love with music at all. I listened to–being around Dre and Em when they was working on Relapse, for me, it was like, I was reintroduced to being in the studio like that. Being around people that were brilliant people. Even if one of them was coming out of that crazy space, flushing drugs out of his system, and the other was like stepping back out again and trying to finish a work of art that he had been working on for a long time. I was a part of that. I'm a part of that. These people both respect me.

text: Hello list, I'm new to Torque/Maui. I'm configuring a cluster with a server + 2 nodes. The nodes have a quad core processor. I have the following two questions: 1. How can I configure the server to allow more than one job running per core? If I configure /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/nodes with np=4 for each node, I can't run more than 8 (4+4) jobs, the following jobs that I submit are queued. I've tried to increase the "np" parameter, in this way I can run more than one job per core, but Is there another better way to do this? 2. How can I configure the server to share the time CPU based on priority? For example, JobA and JobB are running on the same core. JobA is more priority than jobB, I want JobA have more percent CPU than JobB. I've tried to submit the jobs to different queues, and these queues had different priority (qmgr:set queue queueA priorty=10 | qmgr:set queue queueB priorty=2 ), but each job get the 50% CPU (I show this run command "top" on the node) Thanks in advance. -- Susana Sánchez Expósito

SARASOTA - When a teacher of a music program for young children learned that one of her students had cancer, she organized a series of concerts to raise money for her.
Music Together programs help children learn -- from their earliest ages -- through music. And the benefit shows -- one was held in Sarasota last weekend, with others in Tampa and St. Petersburg -- invited families for free to take part.
They asked for donations to help 4-year-old Teeja Johnson, who is battling neuroblastoma, and her parents with the expenses that come with cancer treatment.
"This little girl is a champion, she is a warrior. She is fighting very hard. This evening she is in the ICU unit at All Children's," said Allison Wilkins at the Sarasota concert.
She says that the prognosis is good right now, but that even if she's cured, Teeja will need follow-up treatments until she's in her late teens to make sure the cancer does not come back.

Ariana Grande Breaks Silence on Big Sean Dating Rumors
Photo: Getty Images
By Marc Inocencio
Like her music, Ariana Grande is inescapable.
The pop princess currently has three singles dominating the airwaves, she performed two songs at the MTV Video Music Awards, walked away with a Moon Man for Best Pop Video for "Problem" with Iggy Azalea, and on Monday, the 21-year-old finally released her highly-anticipated album, My Everything.
Though her sophomore LP is projected to rule the charts its opening week, the world-at-large is still buzzing about her VMAs marathon, in which she opened the proceedings with "Break Free" by emerging from a spaceship, and concluded with "Bang Bang" alongside Jessie J and Nicki Minaj, who was clutching onto her noncompliant dress.
As Nicki's ill-fated costume change continues be a widely discussed keynote from the trifecta's performance, On Air with Ryan Seacrest spoke to the former Nickelodeon star to get her opinion on the rapper's major wardrobe malfunction.
"I don't care. That was amazing. She's such a pro for coming on, holding her [stuff] together like that and just, like, living and rapping and keeping it together. That was amazing," Ariana praised. "I thought she did incredibly well, especially given the circumstance."
Knee-high boots and skimpy rompers were also the stars of Ariana's back-to-back spectacles. If you're having trouble reading between her new wardrobe and lyrics, the former Nickelodeon star is making — if she hasn't already — a transition from her childhood career to a full-blown mature pop star. The passage isn't always a successful attempt, so Ryan questioned the songstress how she effortlessly crossed over.
"I don't really know. I mean, I've just been so focused on music. I really feel like focusing on the music and really, like, letting the music tell my story, and introducing myself with music, and letting that be the statement sort of was it, I guess," she said. "I wanted people to be talking about the music not anything else."
Her My Everything record is in fact powered by tracks that introduce a coming of age. Ariana's ballads "My Everything" and "Best Mistake" — which she revealed are her "two favorites" on the album — boasts mature relationship troubles and adult ambitions. In the interview, the pop-soul singer also said that fans can get their hands on remixes and exclusives that aren't available with the iTunes copy by downloading the free messaging Line app.
After softening up Ariana with questions regarding her music, Ryan made an attempt to get the singer to confirm or deny her rumored relationship with "Best Mistake" and "Right There" collaborator Big Sean, who she was seen holding hands with backstage at the VMAs. At first, she deflected the question by claiming to have seen Ryan holding hands with the rapper, but later opted for an open-ended answer.
"I mean, I guess, curiosity man, it'll kill you," she dodged. "I don't know what to say, Ryan. Why are you doing this me? I'll tell you. I'll tell you when we're not on the air. I trust you. I've known you a long time. I don't know about these millions of people listening in right now."

Andy Tate gives his view after we stutter into the international break with a draw – Manchester United 1-1 Stoke City in the Premier League with goals from Anthony Martial and Joe Allen.
Manchester United had the most unfortunate match ever, allowing them to draw 1-1 with Stoke. A rare error from David de Gea allowed Joe Allen to equalise at Old Trafford after substitute Anthony Martial was the only player to demonstrate finishing ability. After 24 shots and nine on target, United was left with just one (incredible) goal, with much more to be desired in the way of finishing. Should City win their seventh game against Tottenham Hotspur, they will be eight points clear of United, in sixth, and perhaps too high up the table to catch.
That being said, it's still early days, and Mourinho will be generally pleased with what was a good performance. No player was outstanding, but the side looked good as a collective and introducing the likes of Martial, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Morgan Schneiderlin could prove to strengthen the side even further. United is stocked with options, but ultimately, sometimes it isn't your day. As it turned out, Stoke's backup goalkeeper, Lee Grant, brought in from Derby where he was a substitute, played probably the most important match of his life and he played it with phenomenal, eye-catching excellence. In the disappointment of dropping more points, though, here's how all the players fared individually.

100 More Things Every Mac User Should Know
Two years ago, we adapted a feature from Macworld into a book called 100 Things Every Mac User Should Know. The idea was to compile a bunch of tidbits — keyboard shortcuts, Finder techniques, and the like — that we thought every savvy Mac user should understand and feel confident about using: not ABC beginner stuff, and not truly esoteric expert-level maneuvers, but the kinds of things that mark you as experienced and informed. Of course, there are a lot more than 100 such things. So we decided to revisit the idea, coming up with another 100 pieces of Mac-related information we think users should have at their command. So, yes: You now have 200 things you need to know.

Kimi Raikkonen has admitted that his chances of fighting for the championship this season are over after a dismal start to his campaign and indicated that he would prefer to spend some of his time competing in rallying again.
Just six races into the season, the Finn is a massive 105 points behind championship leader Nico Rosberg and 101 adrift from Lewis Hamilton, who is in second.
Even if Raikkonen were to win the next four races, he would be still trailing the Mercedes duo in the standings even if the leading pair were to fail to score a single point in those outings.
"It seems to be over," he said of his title hopes. "The Mercedes cars are too fast.
"My challenge on the championship seems to be over for the season," he pointed out.
Raikkonen has indicated that he would like to try his hand at rallying again, should Ferrari permit him to do so.
After his last stint at Maranello, Raikkonen quit Formula One and switched to the World Rally Championship for the following two years and the series continues to tempt the 34-year-old.
"Certainly I would like to do more of (rallying) but for now I'm completely focused on Formula One," he said.
There are five more WRC events this season which are scheduled over weekends when there's no F1 race, including Rally Finland in the first week of August.
During the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, Raikkonen had dropped hints about his intentions to compete in other championships when asked about the recent passing of Sir Jack Brabham.
"Obviously I read and I was so sad to hear that he had passed away. Obviously these days are different than the days that they used to race and they could do different categories, different races," he said. "It would be very nice if they would be able to do different things at the same time and different races and try different things more.
"But the problem is everything gets so much more expensive these days and obviously people are more scared that you get hurt that they try to limit everything that you do," he said in reference to Robert Kubica, whose F1 career stalled after a crash during a rally in 2011.
"It's a shame because I think it would be more fun for everybody and all sports would also benefit from it, and F1. It would be nice to do stuff like they did," he explained.

Does anyone know any good introductions on how to use JSON and embed some APIs onto websites?
I see many APIs using REST/JSON to show data on websites, but not sure how to use the JSON data to get into a website.
Any help is much appreciated.
It varies between APIs, as each one is different. Sites usually have developer documentation for their APIs, with code examples you can use to get started. What kind of APIs/data are you wanting to use on your site?
It doesn't matter - can you recommend one that has great code samples that would allow me to know what Javascript to write and what HTML to write?
As I said before, each API varies in how you use it and the structure of the data that's returned, so it would be difficult to provide a generic tutorial. A google search will turn up tutorials for specific APIs, such as how to display a list of tweets from Twitter (for example).

The organization lambasted Moniz for his preference for fossil fuels as an energy source and for being a fracking "cheerleader."
But when it comes to energy, divestment from coal or fossil fuels is much more symbolic—and not very meaningful.
The Pentagon is the biggest user of fossil fuels in the world.
Divestment may an appealing short-term action for people concerned with the effects of coal and fossil fuels on the environment.
Referring to fossil fuels, he added: "instead of subsidizing yesterday's energy, let's invest in tomorrow's."
We can no longer burn all the fossil fuels we can get our hands on and expect to get away with it.
For instance, there is no C-14 in CO2 molecules that come from fossil fuels.
"Cutting back on fossil fuels will require remaking our world economy," he said.
Thirty years is all the time we have to dramatically change our consumption of fossil fuels—or face catastrophe.
Next to the fossil fuels, the most important products of the rocks in North America are the iron ores.
|fossil fuel
A hydrocarbon deposit, such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas, derived from the accumulated remains of ancient plants and animals and used as fuel. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases generated by burning fossil fuels are considered to be one of the principal causes of global warming.
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
Note: All of these fuels were formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.
Note: All fossil fuels produce carbon dioxide when burned. (See greenhouse effect.)
Note: Burning fossil fuels is a main cause of air pollution.

The Cincinnati Bengals are one of the most downtrodden franchises in the National Football League is not news. Their inglorious path over their 43 seasons of existence, however, is a fascinating combination of bad choices and plain bad luck. What began as the brainchild of one of football's most ingenious figures ever, Paul Brown, has devolved over the years into what we now know as "The Bungles."
Long before Paul Brown passed away, leaving his son Mike at the helm for what is now entering a third decade of ineptitude, the Bengals suffered from a combination of poor choices and brutal misfortune. It began in 1969, just the Bengals' second season of existence.
Greg Cook was the perfect quarterback for the Bengals. Strong-armed, accurate, and nimble, he was the prototype for what Bill Walsh was looking for in his revolutionary new offensive style that featured a precision short-passing game rather than the styles of the day, the aerial assaults of Sid Gilman and Al Davis, or the bruising running attacks featured by Green Bay and Cleveland. What's more, Cook was Ohio-born and a graduate of the University of Cincinnati. Think of Lebron James in pads sans all the media hype of our culture. Bill Walsh, years later told the NFL Network that Cook was the "best quarterback he ever coached." That would include a couple of fair signal-callers named Montana and Young. Cook was a star waiting to happen.
The Bengals started 3-0 in 1969 and were facing the Kansas City Chiefs, one of the AFL's powerhouses in week 4 when Cook took a hard tackle out-of-bounds during a scramble. Later, Cook would say he heard a "pop" in his shoulder. That sound was Cook's rotator cuff tearing, the same injury that has crippled Chad Pennington and nearly robbed Drew Brees of a career. Unlike Pennington and Brees, however, Cook didn't have the benefit of MRI's and high-tech orthopedic medicine. He continued to play in pain throughout the season. Despite the injury, Cook averaged an amazing 17 yards per completion, still a rookie record. The shoulder weakened during the off-season and Cook had surgery. Way before Frank Jobe and James Andrews revolutionized the practice, Cook's right shoulder was reduced to hamburger and the Bengals lost an almost sure-fire Hall of Fame quarterback.
It wasn't bad luck that bit the Bengals in 1976, when Paul Brown decided to step down as head coach. It was Brown's ego. Brown named defensive coordinator and long-time friend Bill "Tiger" Johnson as his successor when he announced his retirement, passing over the architect of the Bengals offense, Bill Walsh. Walsh recalled later that Brown had even refused to recommend him for other head coaching positions in the league because he "didn't think Walsh would make a head coach." For all the genius credited to Paul Brown, this decision stands as one of the all-time worst. Not only would Walsh have a Hall of Fame career in San Francisco, but his 49′ers would defeat the Bengals in each of the franchise's Super Bowl appearances.
Still, the Bengals fielded a formidable squad under Johnson in 1976 and 1977. Cincinnati went a combined 21-7 in the regular season those two years. Included in those seven losses, however, were 4 defeats at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were in the midst of establishing themselves as the "team of the 70s." If not for being in the same division as the Steelers, what might the Bengals have accomplished? Division titles? Super Bowls? Would perennial pro-bowlers like Ken Anderson, Isaac Curtis, and Ken Riley have their busts in Canton by now? We'll never know, but those Bengal squads were among the most talented in the history of the franchise and have no titles to show for it.
The Bengals struggled in the late '70s under poor coaching and an oft-injured Ken Anderson. Buoyed by strong drafts, however, (especially Anthony Munoz) the Bengals won the AFC in 1981 and went to Detroit to take on Walsh's 49′ers in the first Super Bowl for either franchise. The Niners jumped out early to a 20-0 lead, but the Bengals regrouped at halftime and cut the lead to 20-7. Midway through the third quarter, the Bengals held the ball 1st and 10 at the Niner's three yard-line. With massive Pete Johnson in the backfield, it was an afterthought that the Bengals would score and swing momentum totally to their side for the final quarter. Johnson predictably got the ball on first down and was stopped a few tantalizing inches from the goal. It looked certain now the Bengals would draw within one score.
Except on 2nd down, David Verser, a wide receiver, missed an Anderson audible… and his block causing Johnson to be tackled in the backfield for a loss. On third down, offensive coordinator Lindy Infante fooled the Niners with a play action to Johnson. Anderson hit running back Charles Alexander with a pass in the flat where, out of nowhere, 49′er linebacker Dan Bunz wrapped up Alexander and brought him down shy of the goal line. Later, Alexander would confess that his pattern was designed to take him into the end zone, but he broke it off too soon giving Bunz the opportunity to tackle him short. Everyone in Pontiac knew Pete Johnson would get the ball on 4th down, including Hacksaw Reynolds and Ronnie Lott who plugged the whole, stopping Johnson and taking the ball over on downs. The Bengals would eventually fall 26-21.
The 49′ers would benefit from the Bengals in 1985. That's when Paul Brown decided to forego drafting Jerry Rice to fill the team's need at WR. Rice was highly regarded by many teams, but his 40 time had been suspect. So Brown went with Miami All-American, Eddie Brown instead. Brown had a good career in Cincinnati, going to the Super Bowl and a couple of Pro Bowls. But he wasn't Jerry Rice.
Just before Paul Brown's death, the 49′ers would deal the Bengals another heartbreak, this time with a last-minute 20-16 win in Super Bowl XXIII. Prior to that game, the Bengals valuable "power back" Stanley Wilson relapsed into a cocaine-induced stupor at the team hotel. Not only did Wilson's subsequent absence deal a blow to team morale, but it robbed the Bengals of a valuable "straight ahead" runner who could have been a factor in a game that saw "cutback" runners James Brooks and Ickey Woods struggle the entire game on the Joe Robbie Stadium turf. Wilson's absence wasn't the only piece of bad luck for the Bengals though.
In the first quarter, Pro-Bowl nose tackle Tim Krumrie broke his leg in one of the most gruesome replays outside of Joe Theisman. Still, the game was the Bengals for the taking when Joe Montana hit Bengal cornerback Lewis Billups between the numbers when he misread a pass to the end zone in the 4th quarter. Had Billups held on, it would have been difficult to imagine the 49′ers winning. Instead, Billups dropped the sure interception and the Niners scored on that drive.
After Paul Brown's death, his son Mike Brown took over the team. Unlike his father, who had a keen eye for talent, building the Bengals success on finding hidden gems like Ken Anderson, Krumrie, Bruce Reimers, and Bruce Kozerski, Mike Brown showed a penchant for not only failing to prosper in the late rounds, but botching "can't miss" slots in the first round. During the 1990s when Mike Brown was the final arbiter of Bengal drafts, the Bengals spent their top picks on David Klingler, John Copeland, Dan Wilkinson, Kijana Carter, Reinard Wilson, and Akili Smith. Not only were those picks a waste of money, a disaster in itself under the salary cap system, but each failure represented another later pick the Bengals would have to use to compensate for missing at that position.
Brown finally hit it right in 2003, drafting Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer of USC with the overall number one pick. The team had its first franchise quarterback since Boomer Esiason. As expected, Palmer led the team to a division title and a playoff berth in 2005, his first full season under center. Facing the rival Steelers in the first round of the playoffs, Palmer's knee was shredded on the first play of the game as former Bengal, Kimo von Oelhoeffen plowed into Palmer's straight left leg. The Bengals couldn't maintain their offense under backup Jon Kitna and the Steelers went on to win the Super Bowl.
The 2005 draft would mark the epitome of the confluence of bad choices and bad luck for the Bengals. First round pick, David Pollack, from Georgia would have a promising career cut short by a nearly catastrophic neck injury. Second round pick Odell Thurman, also of UGA, would devolve into a life of meth addiction, ending his career that seemed destined for stardom. And third round pick, Chris Henry, would leave mouths agape with his acrobatic skills on the field, only to run afoul of the law off the field and face suspension. In 2009, his life seemingly turned in a positive direction, Henry was killed after falling out of his girlfriend's truck during a domestic altercation.
The drafts of 1995, 1999, 2000, and 2005 were total wastes for the Bengals as not one multi-year starter came from those choices. With that history, and the rotten luck, it's no wonder the Bengals have foundered as a franchise. The drafts have been promising in recent years, with solid defensive picks like Leon Hall, Keith Rivers, and Rey Maualuga. But the Bengals face the likely retirement of Carson Palmer and breaking in a rookie quarterback, Andy Dalton of TCU.
Will the tide ever turn in Cincinnati? Or will the franchise founded by Paul Brown forever be known as "the Bungles?"Tags: Bill Walsh, Cincinnati, Cincinnati Bengals, Football, NFL, Paul Brown

Vincent W. White
Thank you, operator, and good morning, everybody. Welcome to today's third quarter 2012 earnings call and webcast. Today's call will follow our usual format. After I make a few preliminary comments, I'll turn the call over to our President and CEO, John Richels. He will provide the overview of the third quarter and his thoughts on the upcoming quarter and year ahead; then Dave Hager, the Head of Exploration and Production, will provide the operations update; and following that, our CFO, Jeff Agosta, will finish up with a review of our financial results and an updated outlook. After Jeff's discussion, we'll have a Q&A session. Our Executive Chairman, Larry Nichols; as well as Darryl Smette, the Head of Marketing, Midstream and Supply Chain, are both with us today to help out in the Q&A. And as usual, we'll keep the call to about an hour. A replay of this call will be available later today on our website.
During the call today, we're going to provide an update of some of our forward-looking estimates based on the actual results that we've seen over the first 9 months of the year and our revised outlook for the fourth quarter. In addition to these updates, we will file an 8-K later today containing the details of the updated fourth quarter estimates. To access this guidance, you can just click on the guidance link found in the Investor Relations section of our website.
Please note that all references today to our plans, forecast, expectations and future estimates are forward-looking statements under U.S. securities law. And while we always try to give you the very best information possible, there are many factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those estimates. You can find a discussion of risk factors related to our estimates in our Form 10-K. Also, in today's call, we'll refer to certain non-GAAP performance measures. When we use these measures, we're required to provide related disclosures which are available on Devon's website.
During the third quarter, we recorded a non-cash property impairment charge of $1.1 billion or about $700 million after-tax. This charge resulted primarily from the lower natural gas prices over the last 12 months. And under full cost accounting rules, the carrying cost of our oil and gas properties is subject to a quarterly ceiling test. I just want to clarify that this write-down was simply an accounting exercise and is not reflective of the fair value of our assets. It does not relate to any specific reserves. It also has no impact on our cash flow or cash balances nor our credit agreements. It's worth noting that this charge is not unique to Devon. Beginning last quarter, that is the second quarter of 2012 and extending into the third quarter, several companies in our peer group have taken impairment charges.
With that out of the way, I'll turn the call over to John Richels.
John Richels
Thank you, Vince, and good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us this morning. First of all, the organic conversion of our asset portfolio to a higher oil waiting remains on track as evidenced by our continued growth in oil production. We continue to invest the majority of our capital in high-margin North American oil projects. Over time, these high rate of return projects, combined with the greater capital efficiency that's provided by our joint venture structures, should result in superior growth of cash flow per share adjusted for debt.
Devon's third quarter performance reflects our continuing progress towards this goal, so let me give you a few highlights of the quarter. Driven by better-than-expected price realizations and low overall unit cost, adjusted earnings per share and cash flow per share for the quarter came in well above the mean Street estimates. Company-wide oil production increased 14% over the third quarter of 2011, and this was achieved in spite of scheduled plant maintenance at our Jackfish 1 Oil Sands project. Jackfish 1 maintenance reduced third quarter oil production by about 10,000 barrels per day. Without the impact of the Jackfish turnaround, oil production would have increased more than 20% over the year ago quarter.
Our U.S. oil production, which is our highest margin product, grew 26% in the third quarter, and that was driven largely by our success in the Permian Basin. With the expansion of our Gulf Coast Fractionators facility now complete, our midstream business resumed full operations in the third quarter, and our marketing midstream operating profit reached $109 million, and that's right at the top end of our guidance range.

Britain's Single-Parent Problem
The U.K.'s welfare state discourages family formation and work.
We Brits are known for many things. Being overly polite, fond of eccentrics, and with a penchant for queuing—we endear ourselves to much of the rest of the world.
But some of our societal quirks are not so innocuous. New research shows the U.K. is unique in how it combines high levels of single parenthood with extremely low levels of single-parent employment. Single parenthood is a key driver of poverty in Britain.

Pork Kebabs With Roasted Squash And Sauteed Greens
Leaner than other cuts of pork, tenderloin makes for a healthy, kid-friendly meal when skewered and served with colorful vegetables.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Photography: Standard
Source: Everyday Food, January/February 2012
- 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 3 lemons)
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), excess fat and silver skin removed, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 10 ounces baby arugula (10 cups)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Soak eight 8-inch wooden skewers in hot water, 15 minutes. In a large bowl, stir together lemon juice, 3 tablespoons oil, thyme, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add pork, onion, and squash and toss to coat.
Thread pork onto skewers and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place onion and squash on another rimmed baking sheet. Place pork on top rack and vegetables on bottom rack and roast until pork is cooked through, about 30 minutes, flipping skewers and stirring vegetables halfway through. Remove pork and loosely tent with foil; continue roasting vegetables on bottom rack until tender and browned, 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Gradually add arugula and cook until just wilted, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. To serve, divide pork skewers, vegetables, and arugula among four plates.
