The company is still struggling to find an appropriate successor to Mr. Jobs, though, in the face of the CEO's health problems. Reportedly, the company's directors are holding secret meetings behind the CEO's back.

CEO Steve Jobs' health remains a major concern, yield secret succession meetings behind Mr. Jobs' back
Apple, Inc. (
) currently finds itself a contentious figure in the tech industry,
trying to bury
the industry's smart phone leader Google Inc. (
) in a sea of lawsuits [
]. Apple's critics will be swift to point to the fact that it's being outsold
over two-to-one
globally by Google. But such criticism are essentially moot in the face of the cold, hard fact that Apple is still crushingly profitable.
I. Jackpot Earnings
its fiscal quarter three 2011 (calendar Q2 2011) and yet again it's demolished the predictions of Wall Street's veteran analysts. The analysts predicted $24.92B USD in revenue; Apple posted $28.57B USD -- an incredible 81 percent year to year growth.
That growth rode on the shoulders of soaring device sales. The analysts predicted 16.5 million iPhones, 4.2 million Macs, and 7.8 million iPads sold and Apple delivered 20.34m iPhones, 3.95m Macs, and 9.25m iPads. The iPhone and iPad sales represent growth of 42 and 83 percent, respectively.
Apple also drew $7.31B USD in net profit, up an extraordinary 125 percent from last year. The sum is piled on Apple's
growing mound of surplus cash
CEO Steven P. Jobs cheered, "We're thrilled to deliver our best quarter ever, with revenue up 82 percent and profits up 125 percent. Right now, we're very focused and excited about bringing iOS 5 and iCloud to our users this fall."
The company continues to write its own playbook, namely showing that you don't have to be on top of every market you're in to be
one of the world's most profitable tech firms
. While Apple's handsets sales were short of its rivals' it boasted a far greater profit margin.
Apple's strong performance also shows that the company can convince millions to buy even
relatively dated hardware
, thanks to its
incredibly strong brand image
. Apple's newest phone is over a year old, yet it's managed a frenzied pace of sustained sales growth.
II. Apple's Near Term Outlook
Amid all the excitement about the earnings, it's important to take a step back and examine both the company's potential upsides and downsides in the near term.
Looking at the tablet market, Apple appears to still be firing on all cylinders. The company is still the market leader, with customers only slowly warming to the idea of Android tablets. Apple's iPad 2 is roughly on par with the Android competition in price and, for the most part, specs (though its allotment of DRAM is still a bit low). Apple looks to be growing fast enough to maintain a dominant position in this market for some time.
In the smart phone market, Apple's prospects are more mixed.
On the upside, its
recent victory
over HTC Corp. (
) illustrates U.S. courts may be willing to allow it to remove its Android competitors from the market. Further, it reportedly has two new handsets coming within the next year, with iPhone generation six development reportedly proceeding at an accelerated pace. Apple also is rumored to be looking forward with these next generation handsets to expanding to Deutsche Telekom AG's (
) T-Mobile USA and Sprint Nextel Corp. (
) -- gaining access to the final third of the friendly U.S. market. All of these factors add up to increased sales.
On the other hand, Apple's growth is still far slower than Android's globally. This is dangerous because Apple runs the risk of losing the war for developers, which in turn could slow Apple's growth while catalyzing Android's.
In the PC market, the 14 percent year-to-year growth was flatter than analysts predicted. And Apple continues to struggle in international sales, failing to crack the top six in PCs globally. Still, in the lucrative U.S. market Apple
is the biggest success story
, posting more growth than any other firm. And the company continues to move aggressively to bring down its costs, which should compound its growth.
Finally, turning to software, iTunes continues to dominate the market, though
antitrust clouds loom
. Speaking of clouds, the
iCloud is incoming
, which will offer customers the opportunity to trade their pirated tracks for high-quality lossless legal ones for a small monthly fee. That service goes a bit beyond what Google and other foes like Amazon.com, Inc. (
) are
offering up
, so it would be unsurprising to see a strong reception, particularly among the iPhone userbase.
III. The Big Question -- Steve Jobs
Probably the most serious questions for Apple investors boil down to a single man -- the company's co-founder, Mr. Jobs. Mr. Jobs is
ostensibly on medical leave
, though he remains CEO, continuing to direct company meetings, product development, media relations,
and more
The leave has stressed relations at Apple's tight-knit board of directors. The board, which has six members in addition to Mr. Jobs, has traditionally been viewed as Mr. Jobs' puppets, with all the members being hand picked by Mr. Jobs himself. However, a handful of directors are reportedly conducting a search for a successor, without the knowledge or the approval of the full board.
The meetings,
by sources of
The Wall Street Journal
, have been held for the past twelve years and ostensibly began due to Mr. Jobs' age. At the time Mr. Jobs was 44.
However, they took on a more serious tone in 2004 when Mr. Jobs was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer. While he was able to beat back the cancer, he again fell ill in 2009 when complications essentially destroyed his liver, forcing him
to get a transplant
. It is unclear what his latest medical issues entail, but it's troubling for the company.
Mr. Jobs is widely viewed as the glue that holds Apple together, ever-exacting in his demand for thinner, lighter, more attractive gadgets. At Apple Mr. Jobs has traditionally been
judge, jury, and executioner
-- no major decision was made without his approval. And from a pure financial perspective he's been brilliant, despite his controversial reputation among tech observers.
Reportedly, after the latest medical leave the directors approached the head of a major tech company, and several high-level executive recruiting agencies. The message seems clear -- Apple doesn't have a clear cut successor on the inside, so it's looking for an outside candidate when Mr. Jobs finally has to depart from his role.
Given Mr. Jobs relatively young age and uncertain health, no one knows exactly how soon that event may occur. But some at Apple clearly aren't will to be caught unprepared.
The meetings reportedly are conducted once yearly under the shroud of utmost secrecy. Recalls a source, "[Having a success plan is] best practice. Everybody in the room is sworn to secrecy as to what it [the succession] plan is."
The source said that Mr. Jobs eventual departure "is going to be traumatic" and comments that the successor will not be revealed until that happens, stating, "[the successor will be revealed only] when the CEO decides to retire or the board decides the CEO should not be the CEO anymore."
Mr. Jobs reportedly wrote
The Wall Street Journal
an email, seemingly blasting the secret meetings, commenting, "I think it's hogwash."
Clearly Mr. Jobs is loathe to relinquish his leadership role anytime soon. And even when he does, observers believe he has a four year or more roadmap in place to guide future product development.
The real uncertainty for Apple, thus, will likely come not when Mr. Jobs leaves, but several years thereafter, when the final trace of his command are washed away by time.
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

Saboted light armor penetrator
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The saboted light armor penetrator (SLAP) family of ammunition is designed to penetrate armor more efficiently than standard armor-piercing ammunition.
Design and use[edit]
The SLAP design incorporates a polymer sabot, which allows for the use of a tungsten penetrator projectile of a lesser diameter than the original bore. By using the casing of a large cartridge with a lightweight projectile, the velocity of the projectile is greatly increased and the sectional density is improved.
SLAP rounds have been designed for use against lightly armored vehicles and aircraft.
Types of SLAP ammunition[edit]
SLAP ammunition is produced in multiple calibers, examples being: 7.62×51mm NATO, 12.7×99mm NATO (.50 BMG) and 14.5×114mm, the former two by the United States and the latter by the People's Republic of China.[1]
- The 7.62×51mm round is designated as the M948 (standard) and M959 (tracer)
- The 12.7×99mm round is designated as the M903 (standard) and M962 (tracer)
- The 14.5×114mm round is designated as DGJ-02 SLAP by the Chinese military.
The SLAP family of ammunition is produced by the Winchester Cartridge Company and Olin Manufacturing. The team began production of the ammunition in 1985. The sabot that contains the sub-caliber is manufactured by Cytec Industries.

Ridiculous system, a top civil servant and other people get knighted for just doing their well paid jobs in politics, sport or entertainment yet Nigel Farage doesn't even get a mention for one of the smallest awards.

i think the only reason they give some of the honours to ordinary people is just to make it look legit
I suppose , I like most of you are is waiting for the postperson with your honor .
The majority of the honours are CBE, OBE abd MBE but the United Kingdom doesn't have an Empire anymore.
As said above, a few deserving nominations are just there to make the system look creditable.
well worthy

As far as i am concerned the honours list is a load of crap.
I know a lady which runs a self help hospice near me.
She started it in 1983 still going strong works 16 hours a day can be called day or night.
All she got was a MBE should be made a dame.
I speak for personal experience with my mother she was brilliant

<<<<< Desperately Seeking! >>>>>
I have never been able to find any clues as to what happened to the LimeFire racer. Last I had heard was that it was being "driven" by a Floridian named Bob Fulp (back in '69), who never could get up the nerve to really leg it down the track. So it never ran well under his hand and finally disappeared. If anyone has any clues as to the car's whereabouts, let me know...
Jungle Clare Sanders
Check out my site, soon to be really upgraded to some new-concept stuff.
I am desperately seeking a '64 Corvair drag car. My father campaigned the car in the late '60s to early '70s. The car was sold somewhere in Indiana to a car dealership when I was very young (around '72 or '73). I have been trying to find it for the last four years ever since he died in '97. I plan to restore it. Here is a description of the car: it is a '64 Corvair flip top funny car. The frame was home made by my uncle (father's brother) and it was painted bright orange. The car itself is (was) painted Petty Blue (also known as electric blue). The roll cage extended through the top of the car.
The front windshield is Lexan and the doors/hood/trunk are wielded shut. It is an all-steel body car. The rear wheels are basic steel rims and the front wheels were Halibrands. The motor was a 500 cid Cadillac with a six pack. On the side of the car, it said "Schizophrenic." If you have any information on this car, please e-mail me and let me know. I need to find this car. I have documentation on speed records set locally and in Florida. Please contact me by e-mail if you have ANY information...good or bad. I am sorry; I have no pictures scanned yet. When I do, I will send them. I DO have plenty of pictures of the car. My address is
Back in 1965, I built a fiberglass reproduction of a '23-T Pickup and named it the "Topless GoGo." It was powered by a 390 inch Ford Interceptor engine and was painted Royal Blue metalflake. I showed it four times and won four best of shows, all in Arizona. Then I sold it to a car dealer in Oklahoma. I would love to see it today and possibly purchase it back. If you can get me any leads would appreciate it. Phone # is 817-594-7439 and name is Wes Mickle. E-mail is

Which Gen had the worst starters?

Gen 1 was good. Maybe not spectacular lol but I grew up with squirtle and I had a squirtle shaped cake when I turned 10 xD or was it 9? Idk. Yeah 9 cuz Pokemon 2000 came out. Charmander is cute and I love dragons so that includes charizard. But I've never been keen on bulbasaur& its fam.
Gen 2 I love totodile so much. One of the best move pools and its crushing power and high defense through the evolutions carry against all but grass and water, but in hg croconaw learned ice fang that made bayleef and meganium a joke lol. Never done a play through with chikorita but I like its aesthetics as well as meganium at least. Cyndaquil is the cutest fire starter and I like hedgehogs. But it's moves and such aren't unique.
Gen 3 is the only one I've done a full play through with all starters. So I love all of those. Can't dislike them at all.
Gen 4. Oh gen 4. Turtwig. The best but not by much. Only cuz I like how grotle and torterra look. Chinchar. I hate monkeys. And I didn't need to see another fire fighting type. Piplup. Freaking penguins. I hate penguins. Also one thing that made these easily the worst starter is the type imbalance. I mean if I choose a water starter, I should not naturally inheret a weakness to the fire starters second type. No. Just no. And I also should not be able to use my water type attacks easily on the grass starter. I should always fear him. Not think his second type means my strong water attacks can easily ohko him cuz hes no long resistant. I usually teach my water starter ice beam to deal with grass types but due to their general lack of speed I tend to still fear appropriately leveled grass types, particularly my rival's grass starter. But empoleon isn't even weak to grass anymore
and infernape scares the crap outta me. I boxed empoleon. I hate it.
Gen 5 was good for starter. I love my samurott more than I expected and having access to bug moves makes him way different from others. I like serperior's design at least and I don't dislike emboar. He just kinda blends in and I forget about him.
Obviously I vie for gen 4 as the worst. Hate them. Except torterra. But I'm sure if I played as him I'd still hate him for being unbalanced against water. But whatever xD

Rockefeller Drug Law Reform Enacted
April 24, 2009
On April 24, 2009, Assemblymember Brian Kavanagh joined Governor Paterson, advocates, members of the law enforcement community, and other colleagues in government as the Governor signed into law sweeping reforms of the Rockefeller Drug Laws passed by the Assembly and the Senate. The reforms, which the legislature adopted as part of the 2009-2010 budget, eliminate the harsh sentences that the Rockefeller Drug Laws mandated, giving judges greater authority to divert non-violent addicts to treatment and greatly expanding drug treatment programs. Judges are authorized to sentence certain lower-level, first felony drug offenders and lower-level, second-time, non-violent drug felons to probation, local jail time, or both. Additional provisions of the agreement require a statutorily defined, uniform drug diversion program while maintaining authority for existing prosecutor-sponsored Drug Treatment Alternatives to Prison (DTAP) programs. The ceremonial signing was held at Elmcor Youth and Adult Activities, Inc., a New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) funded drug treatment facility in Queens.

Takigyo, also called waterfall meditation, consists of standing underneath a waterfall - often strongly rapid - for a prolonged period of time wearing a uniform that is traditional to Buddhism. The purpose of this all isn't to feel pleasure in the pain of the surging water, of course, but to clear your mind of all thought - a core teaching in Buddhism.

The economic law by no means excludes, but rather demands, humaneness.
Religion does not generate sense, logic, or humaneness in the mind of Society.
One is inclined to ask whether the abounding compassion and humaneness of the Book of Job fails at this point.
He is the epitome of mildness, the incarnation of humaneness.
The humaneness shown by the Swedes to the Jews was avenged by the inhumanity of the Poles.
So when his desire is the virtue of humaneness, and he attains it, how shall he then be covetous?
Are not quacks then, whom we know, better than the doctors who put on an air of humaneness?
He wrote an open letter to Hauptmann, to the author whom among Germans he chiefly honored for goodness and humaneness.
His reply, which I believe has never as yet been published, redounds to his immortal fame as a man of fortitude and humaneness.
These privileges granted the prisoners demonstrate the humaneness of the prison officials.
mid-15c., variant of human (cf. german/germane, urban/urbane), used interchangeably with it until early 18c., by which time it had become a distinct word with sense of "having qualities befitting human beings." But inhuman still can be the opposite of humane. The Royal Humane Society (founded 1774) was originally to rescue drowning persons. Such societies had turned to animal care by late 19c.

Michael and Matthew Tibbo know they have to be on top of their game to beat the other, but that's just fine with them because they work hand in hand in an effort to be the best they can be.
The Corner Brook twins, members of Blomidon Golf and Country Club, will experience another showdown when the two hit the links at Grande Meadows in Marystown July 4-6 for the provincial amateur men's golf championship.
The Tibbos have spent a lot of time honing their craft coming up through the junior program at Blomidon and now find themselves among the elite in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Michael is the two-time defending Newfoundland and Labrador men's amateur champion and six-time defending men's club champion at Blomidon.
Matthew was a member of the 2013 provincial men's amateur team after finishing one stroke behind his brother last year in Gander. Matthew is already one up on Michael this year, winning the Captain's Cup title by five strokes two weeks ago at Blomidon.
The Tibbos love to play the game and challenge themselves to get better with each swing of the club. But, there is not heated battles on or off the course before, during or after some of the close showdowns the two have had over the years.
"We're not too competitive towards each other. I would say we're more supportive of each other and each other's game to just and try and push us to get us both better," Michael said.
Matthew knows he has to beat his brother to be at the top of the leaderboard on most days, but he has never lost sight of the fact there are some really good golfers ready to challenge for the crown at Grande Meadows.
"I finished second the past two years to Michael, but I don't look at is a rivalry," Matthew said. "Obviously I want to win, and to do so I have to beat him, but there's other great players who I have to beat as well. I just have to go out and play my game and see where this puts me come Sunday."
They will head into Grande Meadows with something else in common: neither have played the nine-hole course that awaits them. They have their own feelings on how to become familiar quickly in a short window of time.
"I've never played the course before, people have told me that it's fairly tight and to leave your driver at home, but from past experiences I learned that going into a tournament at an unfamiliar course you have to develop your own strategy once you see it," Matthew said. "How it may fit your eye could be different from how others see it."
Chasing the championship on a nine-hour course versus an 18-hole one also means an adjustment, according to Matthew.
"Where it's a nine-hole course we will be playing the same holes over and over so it's important to try and feel as comfortable as possible on those holes," Matthew noted. "I believe whoever feels the most comfortable and confident will put themselves in the best situation to win."
Michael has chatted with other golfers who have played the course to get a sense of what's in store.
"I guess I got an idea of how it's going to play, but I'm hoping to go down a couple days early and play a couple of rounds on it," he said.
Even though the twins will likely be a in position where one has to say "good try" at some point, Michael is pleased to have his brother back on the west coast after spending last summer living and playing the game to the east.
"It's great that he's back and I can play with him more because if you want to be the best you have to play with the best," he said. "He'll push me and I'll push him."
It's a safe bet the twins will do exactly that at Grande Meadows.

Type Section Information
The Copenhagen Formation has its type section on the west side of Martin Ridge, 1 mile southeast of the union of Ryegrass and Copenhagen Canyons in the Monitor Range (Merriam, 1960).
Geologic Age
The Copenhagen Formation is upper Middle Ordovician in age. It is a restricted depositional facies and is a time equivalent of the lower portion of the Eureka Quartzite (Merriam, 1960). The lower 25 feet of the Eureka Quartzite in the Tuscarora Quadrangle of the Tuscarora Mountains have been shown to be equivalent to the Copenhagen Formation (Ross and Shawe, 1972). The Caesar Canyon Limestone and unnamed limestone of Kay and Crawford (1964) are equivalents of the Copenhagen in the Toquima Range (McKee, 1976).
General Lithology
In general the Copenhagen Formation is a yellow-brown weathering, silty and arenaceous, aphanitic to fine-grained limestone with argillaceous partings and abundant gray to black carbonaceous shale in the upper portion, and basal quartzitic sandstone with prominent brachiopod and trilobite hash beds (Kleinhampl and Ziony, 1985). Merriam (1960) broke the formation into members A, B, and C. The basal member A is a fine-grained, gray, quartzitic sandstone 25 feet in thickness. Member B is 200 feet of yellowish-brown, medium to fine-grained limestone with argillaceous and silty interbeds. The upper member C is a dark-gray, calcareous siltstone and very fine-grained calcareous sandstone, with dark grey to black, carbonaceous shale interbeds. The upper contact of the Copenhagen is gradational with the Eureka Quartzite (Merriam, 1960).
In the Copenhagen Canyon area of the Monitor Range, Bortz (1959) described three members of the Copenhagen Formation. The lower quartz arenite member is about 20 feet of pinkish-brown weathering, light gray, very fine-grained, well rounded and well sorted quartz arenite with vugular porosity. The middle member is about 500 feet of argillaceous, clastic and crystalline, fossiliferous, gray to brown limestone. Fossil hash makes up as much as 30 percent of some sections (Bortz, 1959). The upper argillaceous member is composed of about 100 feet of alternating calcareous, thin-bedded, gray to brown shale, and thin to thick-bedded, dark gray to black, calcareous mudstone. In the Clear Creek area of the Monitor Range, the basal 30 feet of the Copenhagen is composed of very fine-grained, light gray to brown, finely laminated and burrowed, angular to well-rounded, well sorted, quartz arenite with calcite cement. This is overlain by a unit of interbedded quartz arenite, silty, gray, flaggy and highly fossiliferous lime wackestone and grainstones and brown-weathering burrowed and cross laminated calcareous siltstones. Fossils included crinoids, gastropods, horn corals, brachiopods, and bryozoans (Wise, 1977).
In the southern portion of the Mount Callaghan area of the northern Toiyabe Range, 125 feet of the Copenhagen Formation lies between the Antelope Valley and Roberts Mountains Formations. The unit consists of a basal dark-grey limestone and light-grey limestone with abundant fine to medium-grained quartz grains, and an upper member of poorly exposed limestone (Stewart and McKee, 1977).
In the Petes Canyon area of the Toquima Range, the Copenhagen is represented by about 100 feet of cherty limestone and dark siltstone containing graptolites and conodonts similar to those found in the upper portions of the Copenhagen Formation at its type section (Stewart and McKee, 1977). Thin lenticular phosphatic sandstones as much as 3 inches thick, containing pebbles, sand grains, trilobite and graptolite fragments, are present in the lower portion of the Copenhagen (McKee, 1976).
In the Hot Creek Range near Tybo, the Copenhagen is about 75 feet thick with an upper 25 foot thick layer of calcareous siltstone that is locally a shell coquina, and a lower 50 feet of sandy dark brownish-gray weathering fine-grained limestone (Quinlivan and Rogers, 1974; Kleinhampl and Ziony, 1985).
Average Thickness
The Copenhagen Formation varies in thickness from 20 to 75 feet in the Hot Creek Range near Tybo, to 100 feet in the Petes Canyon area of the Toquima Range (Stewart and McKee, 1977), 125 feet in the Mount Callaghan area of the northern Toiyabe Range (Stewart and McKee, 1977), 350 feet at Martin Ridge, 120 to 130 feet in the Clear Creek, and about 600 feet in the Copenhagen Canyon areas, in the northern Monitor Range (Bortz, 1959; Merriam, 1960; Wise, 1977), to about 431 feet in the northern Antelope Range (Kleinhampl and Ziony, 1985). This variation in thickness is primarily the result of a different placement of the basal contact by various workers, and a covered upper contact. Cook (1966), however, suggested that the upper contact of the formation may be an erosional surface.
Areal Distribution
The Copenhagen Formation has been mapped in exposures within the Antelope, Monitor, Toiyabe, northern Toquima, and Hot Creek Ranges.
Depositional Setting
The presence of gastropods, corals, brachiopods, crinoids and bryozoans, as well as burrowed and cross-laminated siltstones and sandstones that are locally phosphatic, suggest that the Copenhagen Formation represents subtidal to intertidal deposition. The argillaceous facies of the Copenhagen Formation may represent a deeper water facies.

Hello! > Well, I personally like having the flexibility to do either. So, we'll > take you up on your offer to allow control over DF. Beware! To all that I can say, clearing DF on some packets compromises path mtu discovery. If you need to have cleared DF on some packets in a flow, this means in fact, that path mtu discovery is not supported at protocol level at all. So, I would like to ask you to consult SCTP designers. If the thing which you have said is true this means they desinged a crippled protocol. Support of pmtu discovery as described in rfc means possibility of semantic fragmentation to retransmit any data bits. If SCTP is not ablet to do this, then you should not support pmtu discovery at all like most of people make for UDP or to follow UDP pattern, fragmenting frames when their size exceeds mtu. It is not necessary to cripple ip_queue_xmit calling conventions to make this, just add a flag to socket to clear DF on oversized frames. Alexey

Public ServiceGiving Back
In North Carolina's Western region, the annual "Smoky Streak" charity race at MedWest-Harris in Sylva, attracted some 250 participants in October, with proceeds used to help fund new digital mammography units. More than $23,000 was raised by this year's "Power of Pink race at MedWest-Haywood in Clyde. The money provides free mammograms to Haywood County women who lack adequate health insurance. In Eastern North Carolina, the pastoral care program at Columbus Regional Healthcare System in Whiteville, provided 50 Thanksgiving dinners through Meals on Wheels.
CHS employees also made substantial contributions to community benefit through a combination of individual philanthropy and public service. In 2010, for example, employees in the greater Charlotte area collectively donated nearly $4 million to local charities through annual giving campaigns, including:
Arts and Culture organizations in Mecklenburg,
Cabarrus, Lincoln and Union counties $507,425
Children's Miracle Network $1,043,291
CMC-NorthEast Foundation $232,000

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was used to determine the elemental content and to detect probable eco-toxic elements in agricultural soil in Gazipur, Bangladesh (latitude: 24.0958° N, longitude: 90.4125° E). Soil samples were collected from three experimental plots of Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI), Gazipur and from a fallow land in the same area where no crop has been produced for a long time. This land is believed to be contaminated by the affluent discharged from nearby industries. Rice and husk samples were also collected from one of the experimental plots. Several elements such as Ni, Cu, Zn, Fe, Ca, Al, Si, Sn, Na, K, Ti, Mn, Li, Mo, Co were identified in the soil samples of the three experimental plots. Rice and husk samples also have the same elements including Sr, P, C and Mg. The LIBS study of the soil of the fallow land confirms the presence of the toxic element Cd along with all the elements found in the soil samples of the experimental plots. The sample from the fallow land from Gazipur was also analyzed for Cd by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The presence of 6.5 ppm of Cd in this fallow land above the tolerance limit (3 ppm) is supposedly the main reason for barrenness of the fallow land in the present case.

If you subscribe to HBO, don't miss the "Real Sports" piece on MLS's Seattle phenomenon. It debuted Tuesday night and will replay regularly over the next two weeks on the pay channel's various platforms.
It's darn good.
The intensity, passion and commitment, not to mention counter-culture quirkiness, of the Sounders' masses are captured in all of its march-to-the-match revelry. The episode addresses the club's Hollywood backing (Joe Roth and Drew Carey); the supporters' voice in whether to retain the general manager; Clint Dempsey's wildly received arrival; and, of course, the record-shattering ticket sales.
Seattle has raised the MLS bar to Space Needle heights. To its credit, "Real Sports" was there recently to chronicle it. The show is mandatory monthly viewing for insight and investigation into a variety of topics that transcend fun and games.
For casual sports fans unaware of the Sounders' success — or, for that matter, their existence — the episode enlightened, educated and entertained. It was also a fine advertisement for the league, particularly in the wake of HBO's previous MLS story (Chivas USA's personnel issues).
Reiterating here: It's a terrific piece. The Emerald City should be beaming today.
That said …
The story lacked context and short-changed the rest of the league. It portrayed Seattle as the lone ship in tumultuous seas, carrying the precious cargo of American soccer's hopes and dreams. Without it, "Real Sports" implied, MLS would capsize like its alphabet-soup predecessors.
Folks in Kansas City, Portland, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles and other prospering MLS markets would beg to differ.
No one is questioning Seattle's impact on the league. MLS is a much better place with the Sounders aboard. But while Seattle's in-market popularity is unmatched — average attendance is almost double the second-best draw, the Galaxy — several clubs have succeed in their own way.
K.C. executed the league's greatest transformation, from a forgotten club toiling in temporary homes too big or too small to an model organization with a sterling venue. In its compact and intimate setting, Portland pulsates like no other. Real Salt Lake has gotten it right, on and off the field. By signing David Beckham, the Galaxy broadened MLS's national and global exposure and appeal.
Founding clubs and expansion teams alike have contributed to the league's growth — not to Seattle proportions, mind you, but in important ways. Long before the Emerald City Supporters blessed MLS, there was Barra Brava and Screaming Eagles and Section 8 Chicago and Hudson Street Hooligans and LA Riot Squad.
There was a dynasty in Washington and excellence in L.A., championships in San Jose and Chicago.
The Sounders are MLS's stylish playmaker, the No. 10, the superstar. They've earned the position. But like the sport itself, the league is about the collective, not just the individual.

Michael Hawkes describes Entirely Platinum's potential as "quite frightening" – a phrase that could also fit the dilemma the talent emerging from the Hawkes stable is creating.
Just moments after the heavily backed Entirely Platinum ($1.90 into $1.70) scored a soft first-up win on his home track, Hawkes outlined the group 1, Sydney-Melbourne double the stable will aim the $NZ520,000 yearling at this spring.
But the Epsom Handicap-Caulfield Cup plans could just as easily apply to a number of emerging carnival stars for Hawkes, father John and brother Wayne as they determine how to keep their top hopes from clashing.
"We've got a lot of these horses in Leebaz, Messene, Toydini and Ninth Legion ... you're trying to run them in all the right races and you're trying to plot their path, but it's not as easy as everyone thinks," Michael Hawkes said.
In terms of headaches, it's probably the best one to have at this time of year.
Less than an hour after Nostradamus pocketed the San Domenico Stakes, Hawkes reluctantly confirmed Entirely Platinum was definitely the best stable prospect racing at home on Saturday.
"It's quite scary really," Hawkes said of Entirely Platinum's talent. "We see it as trainers, but until owners see it ... they all know what they've got, but patience is the biggest key.
"To pay half-a-million Kiwi and wait and sit on the horse, it's a big thing. People don't have that patience any more. You've got to give them the bigger credit. They let us do what we want to do and it's quite frightening what this horse could do.
"The Caulfield Cup is his ultimate goal. Obviously he'll run in a couple of weeks' time, but he's got a talent, for sure."
James McDonald slid into the one-out, one-back slot on Entirely Platinum after a slick getaway in the 1400-metre Spring Preview Handicap, eventually peeling into the clear and idling past on-pacers Mighty Lucky ($41), a half-length adrift in second, and Greatwood ($12) in third.
Entirely Platinum had put the writing on the wall with a smart trial win over Messene, which ran a close second in the group 2 Missile Stakes last week.
"He's a very nice horse," McDonald said of Entirely Platinum. "He's a big fella and when he gets there stargazes a little bit. He has never won his races by a big margin, but he's going the right way. He's physically stronger. Everyone uses the cliche, but with this horse it's really true."
Mighty Lucky rider Nathan Thomas did not need convincing of the winner's talent, despite the leaders being given every chance of hanging on in the slowly run affair.
"The winner is obviously very smart," he said.
"My bloke has been in unsuitable races where they haven't been long enough and they've gone quite steady. I knew going to 1400 in a race like that he'd be on top of the speed and be there for a long way, but he went better than I thought."

The Nativity Sermon of Saint John Chrysostom6. January 2015 - 21:35
BEHOLD a new and wondrous mystery.
My ears resound to the Shepherd's song, piping no soft melody, but chanting full forth a heavenly hymn. The Angels sing. The Archangels blend their voice in harmony. The Cherubim hymn their joyful praise. The Seraphim exalt His glory. All join to praise this holy feast, beholding the Godhead here on earth, and man in heaven. He Who is above, now for our redemption dwells here below; and he that was lowly is by divine mercy raised.
Bethlehem this day resembles heaven; hearing from the stars the singing of angelic voices; and in place of the sun, enfolds within itself on every side, the Sun of justice. And ask not how: for where God wills, the order of nature yields. For He willed; He had the power; He descended; He redeemed; all things yielded in obedience to God. This day He Who is, is Born; and He Who is, becomes what He was not. For when He was God, He became man; yet not departing from the Godhead that is His. Nor yet by any loss of divinity became He man, nor through increase became He God from man; but being the Word He became flesh, His nature, because of impassability, remaining unchanged.

Centenary of Battle of Cer16. August 2014 - 10:07
The decisive stage of the Battle of Cer, which ended as the first major Allied victory in World War I - and one that was won by the Serbian forces - took place in the night between August 15 and 16, 1914.
The fact that tiny Serbia managed to defeat the Austro-Hungarian troops so comprehensively at Cer despite being at a great disadvantage in every sense was met with shock and disbelief in Vienna and Berlin, as well as with jubilation among the Allies, and Serbia's reputation grew unexpectedly.

Tel Hai Museum
The museum is devoted to the dramatic events of 1920, when Tel-Hai and some other Jewish settlements in the Upper Galilee were cut off from the central part of the country and attacked by Arabs. Yosef Trumpeldor was at the head of the battle and was killed with other seven soldiers. Every year people gather here to honor the heroes.
Tel Hai remains just as it was. The buildings are made of basalt stone, with red tiled roofs, preserving the community that thrived here in the early years of Jewish settlement in this region. The courtyard houses a museum that reconstructs the life of Tel Hai's founders and an audiovisual program in seven languages portrays the heroic battle. Children can solve historic riddles and try on period costumes. Sculptures and antique farming equipmentand can be found all around the courtyard.
Historic Background
When World War I broke out in 1914, there was only one Jewish community in the 'northern corner' (Pinat Hazafon) of Eretz-Israel Metula - founded in 1896. The Sykes-Picot Agreement of May 16, 1916 was a secret understanding between the governments of Britain and France defining their respective spheres of post-World War I influence and control in the Middle-East. According to this Agreement, it was resolved that the Upper Galilee region would remain controlled by the French. Therefore, Metula and its surrounding communities were part of the French region.
When the northern region of Eretz-Israel was conquered by the Turkish Empire in 1918 there were only two additional spots south to Metula: The Mountain, on which the Giladi Group established its barracks who later became Kfar Giladi, and Telcha, the Courtyard that was built between the years 1907 and 1908 for the benefit of farmers of Metula, and delivered in 1918, on the eve of the Turkish retreat, to the Tel-Hai Group. In 1918, the connection between northern to southern regions of Israel was renewed.
The atmosphere among the settlers was hard. They raised the issue of security to Israel Shochat, the founder of the Shomer (in Hebrew- "the Guard" - the first Jewish security organization), who sent a new representative who had just arrived from Russia - Yoseph Trumpeldor. He visited for a few days in order to study the community claims and prepare a defense program.
Trumpeldor's motive in coming to Eretz Israel was to unite the two labor factions in the Yishuv, assuming this was the way to prepare for a massive immigration from Russia, as the Jewish community was at risk from pogroms. He arrived in Tel-Hai on December 29, 1919, and met a community suffering from a lack in food, clothing, equipment, arms and ammunition. Above all, they feared for their safety due to Arab attacks.
Large numbers of French and Arabs troops surrounded the area, from Metula to the Hula region. While Trumpeldor believed the minimum number of troops to defend the area was 200, only 100 untrained defenders were available. Local battles were followed by major combat on March 1, 1920. This battle lasted until night and became the most heroic battle in the annals of the Jewish Yishuv in Eretz Israel. Trumpeldor and the five other defenders fell in the battle of Tel-Hai.
These events were the first test of the security of the Jewish Yishuv in Eretz Israel. The saga of Tel-Hai rapidly became a myth, and the story is taught to Jews in Israel and abroad. But Tel-Hai was not only a myth. Trumpeldor, the five defenders and the Jewish Yishuv in Tel-Hai and the Upper Galilee actually marked the northern border of Eretz-Israel under the British Mandate.

Davis CA (SPX) Feb 20, 2014
Forecasts of when a volcano is ready to erupt could be a little closer thanks to work by geologists at the University of California, Davis, and Oregon State University published online Feb. 16 in the journal Nature.
For an eruption to occur, the magma, or molten rock under the volcano must be sufficiently mobile to erupt.
"The question is, what percentage of time is the magma in an eruptible state?" said Kari Cooper, associate professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UC Davis and lead author on the paper.
"People think about there being this big reservoir of liquid magma under a volcano, but we don't think it's in that state all the time," she said.
The mobility of the magma depends on the amount of crystallization: When it is more than about 50 percent crystalline, it becomes immobile. Crystallization, in turn, depends on the temperature of the rock.
Until now, volcanologists have not known how common it is for magma to be crystalline compared to being mobile and eruptible. The new work shows that at least for Mount Hood, Ore., the magma is mobile less than 10 percent, and perhaps as little as one percent of the time.
Cooper and Adam Kent, professor of geology at Oregon State University, studied rocks ejected from previous eruptions at Mount Hood. By analyzing both radioactive isotopes and the distribution of trace elements, they were able to reconstruct the history of the rocks and the conditions to which they had been exposed before they were erupted from the volcano.
The results mean that volcanologists might be able to better assess when a volcano is ready to erupt by using seismic or other remote imaging to look for mostly liquid magma, Cooper said. If eruptible magma is indeed relatively rare, then when it does appear, the risks of an eruption are higher, she said.
Mount Hood is so far the only volcano studied in detail using these techniques. A preliminary survey of data from similar volcanoes around the world shows that they likely follow a similar pattern to Mount Hood, with mobile, "eruptible" magma only being present a small proportion of the time. Cooper and Kent plan further studies to see if these discoveries are widely applicable or unique to Mount Hood.

Conservatives remind Mitt Romney of abortion pledge
Say No to BO Mapleton, UTOct. 14, 2012 6:06 p.m.
Obama quietly signed an executive order on abortions his first week in office. It was called the Mexico City Policy and opened up federal funding for international organizations who performed abortions.
He's the devil we know.
Mitt is the devil we don't know. It worries conservatives, but if you call them the Tea Party I guess that's OK, even in Utah.
Put a label on them and marginalize them.

If you believe that, then tell me why the LDS Church will not seal stillborns and miscarried fetuses to their parents. I know the answer -- when my husband and I were sealed, we wanted our miscarried fetuses sealed to us. Church regulations prohibited it. The answer we were given -- to be eligible for any vicarious ordinances including children being sealed to parents, it is necessary that all of the parties to the ordinance had lived. Because the miscarried fetuses had not been born and drawn a breath, THEY WERE CONSIDERED NOT TO HAVE LIVED and were therefore not eligible for the ordinance. I got the same answer when I was doing my geneology and wanted to seal stillborns in my family line to their parents -- they were not eligible because, even though they had underwent a birth process, they had not drawn a breath; therefore they were considered not to have lived. For a church that believes all people who have lived need to receive certain ordinances, and those ordinances are denied because parties had not lived, that seems pretty conclusive to me.

Please enligten me, then, how a non-living thing in the uterus is able to suffocate,have blood flow, and have a heart beat.
The question I ask of you is this -- how do you define life? Is it the human spirit that exists prior to mortality, inhabits a moral body to "navigate" on the earth, and then passes into immortality? Or is life limited to a physical body that exists first as a parasitic life form in the uterus and then as an independent being on the earth?
I believe it is the former, and pregnancy is just the "factory" that constructs the physical body into which a pre-existing, living human spirit enters at birth and signifies its existence of the body by drawing a breath -- the living corporeal human being comes into existence at birth. Your comment seems to imply that your definition is the latter.

Agreed. And, especially, take steps to insure that, if sexually active, the pregnancy will not start. In other words, if sexually active, use contraception.

A few facts on abortion:
Only one percent of abortions result from incest or rape. 3/4 of abortions are for unmarried women. According to recent polls 3/4 of women who aborted a child regretted it.
Let's look at countries where abortions are federally funded.... south africa for example is plagued with 13 year old moms, infested with aids, stricken by poverty. And planned parenthood wants to perpetuate the cycle and bring it to our shores. No thanks.
Instead lets teach young women to respect their bodies and be pro choice and plan AHEAD!. Plan to Respect your body. Practice abstinence or at least plan ahead or deal with the consequences.
SS MiddleofNowhere, UtahOct. 10, 2012 8:59 p.m.
Also, all of you pro choice supporters who think that a woman should have the right to choose to kill her offspring should apply that to other things and see if that logic works for you.
-I think that people should be able to do any drugs because it is their body and they aren't affecting anyone else.
-I think that people should be able to speed down the highway because it is their life.
-I think people should be able to text and drive because it is their life.
-I think that people should be able to commit suicide (which is ridiculous anyway because what do you do to them when they are dead?) because it is their life.
Basically you are saying that people should be able to do anything they want because it is their life. What happened to responsibility and laws governing and protecting people, even if, and especially if they can't protect themselves.
I am pro-choice, people can make any choice they want, but they should live with the consequences. A woman makes her choice long before she is pregnant. That's the way God set it up.

All this mania drives me nuts. Romney gets elected by a bunch of people who obviously support "legal" abortion so he goes along with them in order to govern. He is not responsible for their misbehavior nor can he do anything about it. It is their choice to abort according to the law so it happens. Romney is not responsible to make everyone walk his walk. He is faithful LDS and does not approve of abortion nor does his church, however, this is a free country.
What makes you all think that a President can enforce his morals on those who may elect him?
He is there to enforce the law and right now, abortion sadly is the law of the land.
Get off his case. Quit muddying the water...we need him for the good of the country.

All of you for Obama get your act together and see what kind of person that man really is. Right now we are talking about abortion we have a much bigger problem with Obama than with what Mitt Romney has to say. He will be a pro-life president I am sure of that but what people are forgetting right now is that we have four people who have died and the White House is trying to cover this up big time. We are not stupid here and most of us know what Obama is trying to do. Watergate never killed anyone so now we the People deserve to have the right answers on this. Like I said we have bigger problems to deal with than Romney back tracking what he said. He will protect the lives of the unborn I am sure of it. What are we going to do though with a President and all who follow him about Libyia?

try calling it a baby not a fetus. I guess that makes it easier to kill.
Until there is a birth and the breath of life is drawn, the product of conception is a fetus and not a baby. Pregnancy is the process by which a body is constructed to house the spirit that will inhabit it during mortality. Prior to birth and breath, there is no baby, child, infant, or any other label you want to apply to it. Until the spirit has joined the body at birth there is no human life that an be terminated.
That being said, I believe there are only a very few acceptable reasons for theraputic pregnancy termination -- if the life or health of the pregnant woman is in significant peril, if the pregnancy started as a result of rape or incest, or if there is a fatal fetal deformity (the same reasons that are deemed acceptable by the LDS Church). BUT that is my opinion and my standards. I argue strongly against abortion, but I don't believe it appropriate to impose my standards on anyone else. Let the woman decide.

Kalindra Salt Lake City, UtahOct. 10, 2012 3:37 p.m.
@ ute alumni: Again with the misrepresentations. Illinois has had a law on the books for many, many years stating that when an abortion procedure involves a fetus that has reached the point of viability, there must be a second doctor present who will care for the baby should it survive the abortion attempt.
Obama never tried to change that and never said anything against that policy.
He voted against a second piece of legislation that would do the exact same thing.
How many laws do you need addressing one issue? Why continue to pass the same law over and over instead of addressing new issues?
ute alumni Tengoku, UTOct. 10, 2012 3:09 p.m.
Yeap and Obama never changes his mind. Actually I wish he would on many things, like late term abortion. He won't. Killing a surviving abated baby apparently is okay with Barry.

The DesNews posted the story that Romney pledged not to push abortion legislation at 11:18 pm on 10/9. This story posted 1:48 pm on 10/10. A mere 14.5 hours between statement and backtrack. Is this a record for the man? He hewed far right during the primaries. Having secured the nomination, he's tacking centrist to woo the undecideds. Nice to see the right trying to rein him in to some consistent position. Romney has staked out so many positions on this issue over the years, pandering to all, and couched in so many weasel words that he can't be held to any particular position.
One consistent theme I hear from the right is that conservatives stand solidly on unchanging bedrock principles (rooted in the Bible and/or the Constitution). I guess we know that Romney is not a "real" conservative. (But that was never in dispute.)
JoeBlow Far East USA, SCOct. 10, 2012 2:34 p.m.
There is a reason the Romney "seems" to be softening his far right stance.
It's because HE IS.
During the primaries, Romney tried to portray himself as the "Severe Conservative" that he is NOT.
Now he has the GOP nomination, it is time to pander to the reasonable folks in the middle.
Certainly, the far right will not vote for Obama, regardless of how moderate Romney becomes.
Remember that fear that Romney was more of a moderate? Well, he IS.

"There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda."
This man is so full of weasel words, they're hard to keep track of. All he's saying here is that he's not familiar with any legislation he would endorse. Show him a piece of legislation, and he might endorse it. Good grief, is this man beyond committing to any position or giving any specifics?

Nursing Degrees
The Everest nursing degree programs* are designed to provide students with the hands-on education and skills needed to work as a professional registered nurse (RN) in a diverse health care field. Everest offers three nursing degree programs:
Associate Degree Nursing (ADN)
The Everest Associate Degree Nursing program is designed to provide students with the knowledge base and necessary skills to become a registered nurse. Our curriculum requires that students assume the responsibility for their learning, decision-making and demonstration of independent thinking. Critical thinking and problem solving skills are of utmost importance to becoming an effective and safe registered nurse.
The nursing program faculty and staff have set the standards for students to begin the life-long learning in nursing. The Everest associate degree in nursing is a program that meets the curriculum guidelines of the respective state board of nursing in the state where the program is located. Program policies, procedures and requirements have been established to represent the standards for nursing education and safe clinical practice.
Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program (BSN)
There's a growing demand for higher-educated nurses, but there are not nearly enough Bachelor's of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN) prepared registered nurses (RNs) to fill the need today. That shortage is projected to grow in the next several years.
This creates a huge opportunity for anyone who has a desire to enter the nursing profession and have more marketability and growth potential for the future to become a registered nurse with a baccalaureate degree.
The Everest Bachelor of Science in Nursing program offers the extensive scope of training and higher level of education that many clinical sites prefer today. In addition to the core nursing instruction, our BSN program includes advanced courses required for leadership and management positions. A BSN also gives graduates the option to pursue a master's degree in nursing, which is required to pursue advanced practice nursing specialties such as a nurse practitioner.
* Programs and schedules vary by campus.
