|| | College: Brigham Young
Fangupo spent two years on a religious mission in the Philippines after high school and enrolled at Mt. San Antonio Community College (CA) when he returned to the U.S. He saw immediate action in 2007 on the defensive line, recording 24 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks, and in 2008 as a sophomore, finishing with 47 tackles, 15.0 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks, two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. Fangupo was considered one of the top JUCO recruits and chose USC over Arizona, Arizona State and Oregon.
He was a reserve defensive tackle in 2009 as a junior, but was sidelined most of the season with a broken left ankle injury and took a medical redshirt. Fangupo played in the first seven games of 2010 before another injury ended his season, recording four tackles.
He decided to transfer to BYU for his senior season in 2011 and started 10 games, playing end and tackle and finishing with 26 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss and two pass break-ups.
Fangupo had a limited career at USC because of injuries and decided to transfer after someone broke into his Los Angeles apartment when his wife was home alone. He took advantage of the rule allowing upperclassmen to transfer without penalty as part of the school's sanctions. He was told he wouldn't see much of the field at BYU, but impressed with his brute power and hard work the Cougars' coaching staff considers him the strongest player they've ever coached.
Fangupo is physically imposing with natural instincts and a good head on his shoulders, but has limited range and is more of a run stuffer who won't make many plays in the backfield a mid-round, older prospect who should be able to offer depth along the defensive line in any scheme.
Strengths: Possesses a girthy, wide-body size with a strong upper and lower body. Extremely strong with the raw power to overwhelm blockers at the point of attack. Anchors off the snap and holds his ground, staying stout in the run game. Has a coordinated frame to stay balanced on his feet through contact. Has very good awareness and always knows where the ball is, using his eyes to quickly locate and elevate his hands to knock down passes at the line of scrimmage. High character player on and off the field with top work ethic and a positive attitude very good teammate. Versatile player, lining up at both defensive end and nose tackle in BYU's 3-4 defensive alignment.
Weaknesses: Has seen his weight fluctuate over the years and it is something that needs to be monitored. Short in stature and doesn't have great length. Has limited range and doesn't have great lateral agility to move up and down the line of scrimmage in a flash won't make a lot of plays outside the numbers. Needs to clean up his technique and play with better leverage to consistently defeat blocks. Has some durability and conditioning concerns after missing most of the 2009 and 2010 seasons with injuries and doesn't look like an every-down defender. An older prospect and will be 27-years old when the 2012 NFL regular season starts.

How To Use WP – How To Make A WordPress Page Your Front Page | About Robert Bryant
08 May, 2016
[…] post How To Use WP – How To Make A WordPress Page Your Front Page appeared first on Quick Click […]
Typically, most sites have an index page that serves as the virtual "front desk" of your business and greets every visitor arriving via your front door.
The front page of your site is one of the most important pages of your entire website, because it is generally the first thing a visitor sees when they arrive on your site if they type in your domain name on their web browser, or navigate to your website from a search engine or directory listing.
The home page can also act as a landing page to catch your visitors' attention, let your visitors know who you are, what you do and also to help them navigate to other important pages on the site.
In a traditional website, the main page and its content are normally intrinsically built into the home page file (e.g. www.mywebsite.com/index.php), so if you want your visitors to see different content on the front page when they arrive on your site via the main URL (i.e. www.mywebsite.com), you would normally need to edit the content in the page itself, or log into your server and change file names around.
WordPress makes this easier for users, especially for those who don't want to mess around with stuff like editing page code in server files.
By default, WordPress acts as a "blog" and displays a changing list of recently-published posts, with the headlines and first paragraph or two of the content visible for each article published, and links to separate post pages where visitors can then keep reading the full article (e.g. "click here to continue reading" …).
With WordPress, however, you are given the flexibility of creating as many pages as you want and then specifying which of these pages you want assigned as being the main page of your website.
As you will soon discover, you can also replace the home page of your website as often as you like, without touching the content, just by creating a number of different pages you can point to as the site's home page, and then selecting the one you want to display as your home page.
This is very handy to have. For example, you may want visitors arriving on your site via the homepage to:
This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to easily create a WordPress home page.
To easily set any page on your website or blog as your home page., go to your admin menu and click on Settings > Reading …
In the Reading Settings screen, do the following:
Click Save Changes after selecting your options to update the settings and set your new home page …
After saving, click on Visit Site (tip: right-click and select "Open Link In New Tab" to view the homepage in a new browser window without leaving your Reading Settings screen) …
The page you chose in Front page displays > A static page should now be displaying as your site's home page …
You can change the home page for your site as often as you like, just by repeating the above steps and selecting another page …
The newly-chosen page will become the new home page immediately …
When you set any page to become the homepage of your site, WordPress reassigns the domain root to become the URL of that page.
What this means is that if you select the page with the following URL into your home page:
The above page will be assigned the following URL for as long as it remains the site's home page:
If you type the "old" URL of the page you have now specified as your new home page into your web browser, WordPress will direct you to the home page.
Also, if you specify another page as the home page, WordPress assigns the previous home page back to its original URL …
Congratulations! Now you know how to create a WordPress home page.

The need to keep email in an easy to search archive for eDiscovery and regulatory purposes is pronounced across all industries, with email forming the backbone of modern office communication. Unfortunately, problems persist. Failures in email archiving serve as warnings and reminders that companies need to upgrade their own systems. According to ZDNet bloggers Simon Bisson and Mary Branscome, one of the most recent email archiving problems occurred at an unexpected source - technology giant Google.
Archiving mishaps
A good email archiving system makes sure that email's unique characteristics remain intact when the messages are stored. According to ZDNet, a recent exchange in the Oracle versus Google lawsuit hinged on a failure to do so. The email archiving system in place at Google does not store drafts and final messages together, meaning that the drafts of a confidential message were released to Oracle, a bad outcome for Google that could have been avoided with a different system.
That incident is not the only one where Google's email archiving use has drawn fire recently. According to the source, Google, responding to FCC complaints about wifi scanning during its Street View project, stated that searching email archives to determine culpability for questionable decisions would be difficult and time-consuming. The FCC greeted the statement with incredulity, and the ZDNet bloggers stated that, though a tech giant that maintains a number of proprietary systems, Google's eDiscovery capabilities in these cases fell short of what commercial systems can deliver.
Other cases
In addition to legal complications, a refusal to store and share email data can lead to scrutiny. Government agencies, for example, place their email in the public record. This means that failure to produce the messages can lead to public outcry. The Miami Herald reported that the recent decision by Florida governor Rick Scott to release his email messages to the public comes on the heels of sharp criticism of his administration's past refusal to make emails The availability of emails upon request can have a distinct impact on public image.
Possible solutions
Placing an email archive in the cloud means that a company or agency of any size can add the technology. Cloud archiving is scalable, meaning that it can start small, in line with a startup's budget and resources, and grow into a full-fledged enterprise solution when needed.

Harrogate Town produced a battling comeback as they held a Sheffield Wednesday XI 3-3 in an entertaining pre-season friendly.
New signing Ashley Worsfold and midfielder Adam Bolder were the second half heroes as Town clawed back a 3-1 deficit.
Owls striker Kahili Lambin opened the scoring before stand-in Town skipper Anton Brown rifled home to equalise.
The visitors then struck twice either side of half time, the unfortunate Leigh Franks deflecting into his own net before Ayo Obileye bundled a corner home.
But the resilient Yellow and Blacks sprung back to score two goals in two minutes.
The match, frantic at times, provided a stern fitness test for both Town and Wednesday's youngsters.
More than 400 spectators turned out under the CNG floodlights as the Championship outfit brought a healthy contingent north.
Adam Nowakowski was a late withdrawal from the Town starting line-up, allowing the returning Matt Bloomer to partner new signing Leigh Franks at centre back.
But it was at the other end of the field where Town impressed early on, with Michael Woods, Craig Nelthorpe and Chris Hall showing signs of their emerging attacking threat.
Wednesday carved the first opportunity when the impressive Charlie Dawes smacked a cross come shot to the six yard box which Lambin deflected back onto the post.
Town created their own chances, but many were sent high and wide.
After a steady start, the match sprung to life midway through the first half. Owls forward Lamdin again benefitted from good work by Dawes to score at the second attempt, after Town stopper Craig MacGillivray pulled off a fine sprawling save.
Town levelled within a minute in similar circumstances. Skipper for the night Anton Brown found room in the box and his powerful drive, after his initial shot was blocked, went into the roof of the net.
The goal boosted the CNG outfit. Woods was left red-faced from missing a chance from Nelthorpe's cut-back before the pair combined again but left-winger Nelthorpe's drive was blocked.
Wednesday's youngsters continues to break with pace throughout the first half and first teamer Danny Mayor, on his return from injury, left Woods trailing as he drove forward. But teammate Arnaud Honore fluffed his lines 12 yards out.
That signalled Wednesday's period of top and, after Mani Dieseruvwe had a goal scratched off for offside, Franks diverted another pacy Dawes cross past his own 'keeper.
Each side made one change at the break with Alan White replacing Dwayne Samuels for Town and Adam Hinchcliffe coming on for Dawes.
And Hinchcliffe made an instant impression as he strolled forward to force the corner Obileye struck from.
Once again, Town showed resilience. Worsfold, fresh from his double against Blackburn on Saturday , took full advantage of a defensive error as he calmly slotted past Cameron Dawson to pull one goal back.
Within a minute, Town were level. Nelthorpe was pushed to the floor in the area and former Owl Bolder stepped up to find the top corner.
The match's tempo slowed as weariness crept in. But there was still enough energy in Frank's legs to make up for his earlier error and produce a sublime tackle on the onrushing Lambin.
The defender then had a goal disallowed at the right end after being several yards in front of play.
Substitute Dan Clayton nearly gifted the win to the visitors with the final whistle approaching but his glanced clearing header evaded the far post.
Triallists Alex Metcalfe, Sam Jones and Josh Wilson were given a late burst by Weaver and each held their own against the talented squad of Championship youngsters.

Robin claims that she didn't receive a dime from Mike Tyson's estate in their divorce, and that there was not a pre-nuptial agreement.
Robin supports the National Domestic Violence Hotline. She speaks on their behalf, and sponsors them financially as well.
Robin posed nude for Playboy magazine in the September 1994 edition.
Robin has dated Brad Pitt and shock-jock of the airwaves, Howard Stern.
Robin performed in New York City in the off-Broadway production of The Vagina Monologues, and won rave reviews.
Robin struck an 89 year old woman with her SUV in Miami, Florida in 2004. The unknown woman was transported to the hospital with moderate injuries.
Robin tried to fill the shoes of Mother Love, on the television daytime talkshow Forgive or Forget in 2000. Her run as the show's host ran short, due to the audience's loyalty to Mother Love.
Robin's first film role was in 1978 as an extra in Berry Gordy's remake of The Wizard of Oz, titled The Wiz alongside Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.
Robin gave birth to her first son Michael in 1992, and to her second son William in 1999. William's father is tennis player Murphy Jensen, and the two did not stay a couple.
Robin married her tennis instructor, against her mother's wishes in 1997. She and Svetozar Marinkovic separated on the day that they wed, and she filed for a divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences'.
Robin appeared alonside Mike Tyson in a television interview with Barbara Walters, where they opened up about their troubles. Mike sat by as Robin recanted the tales of physical and mental abuse suffered at his hand, blaming the fits of rage on Bi-polar disorder. After the interview, Robin was labeled a cold-hearted gold-digger by many, and Mike was somehow given sympathy.
Robin was pregnant when she married Mike Tyson, but suffered a miscarriage a few months later.
Robin married boxing legend Mike Tyson in 1988. Their marriage ended on Valentine's Day the following year.
Robin's career took off after she left Harvard, and took the role of April Baxter on the television movie Beverly Hills Madame in 1986.
Robin enrolled in Harvard University's Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, but quit during her junior year after Bill Cosby encouraged her to pursue acting full-time.
Robin's first television appearance came in 1984, when she had a guest role on the hit sitcom The Cosby Show. It was this experience that allowed a great friendship to form between her and Bill Cosby.
Robin began taking acting classes at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City at the age of ten.
Robin played the violin for a few months, but decided that she would much rather put her time into acting.
Robin's mother always encouraged her children's creativity and steered them towards an interest in the arts.
Robin Simone Givens and her younger sister were raised by their mother, Ruth Givens, after their father Reuben abandoned them. Ruth went back to school to study data processing and built up a successful computer software business that enabled her to send both daughters to private schools.
She appears in Toni Braxton's video He Wasn't Man Enough.
She was listed as one of twelve "Promising New Actors of 1991" in John Willis' Screen World, Vol. 43.
Robin was chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history.
Holly Robinson Peete was Robin's fellow classmate at Sarah Lawrence College. Robin enrolled in the pre-med courses at the age of fifteen with big dreams of becoming a physician.
Givens made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago the Musical. She performed at the Ambassador Theatre in NYC from January-April 16, 2006.
Robin: I want someone who can handle me. And I'm not the easiest person to handle.

While the flu epidemic reaches deadly proportions, Rick, Maggie, and Carl are in a race against time when the Walkers start pushing against the fenced walls.
Plot Summary
As the situation grows worse in the prison, Dr. Caleb Subramanian warns Hershel that the situation is getting dangerous. Eventually Dr. Caleb is proven right when the infected survivors die and turn into walkers. As walkers start walking out of their cells, Glenn's symptoms begin to get worse. Maggie, who begins hearing gunshots in the prison, runs into the ward to help her father. With her help, Hershel is able to wrestle a respirator from a walker in order to save Glenn. Daryl and the others return from their run with the medicine. The medicine is applied to the remaining survivors and the situation is resolved. During the incident, Hershel had to put down Dr. Caleb after he died from the illness. Now Hershel mourns for his fellow medical colleague.
Meanwhile, Rick had returned from his run. As Maggie helps her father with the situation. Rick is faced with another situation. Walkers, who have been pushing on the fences, have gathered in greater numbers are threaten to breach the prison's walls. Needing help, Rick calls for his son. They try to reinforce the fences with wooden poles. However, the walker horde is able to overcome the reinforcements. Rick and Carl fall back to get the assault rifles. Together, the father and son mow down the walkers until the threat is no more. At the end of the episode, the camera zooms out as the Governor stares with malice at the prison.

IGF-1 lr3 is a fascinating anabolic hormone that has confirmed itself to be an exceptional addition to the PED biking regimens of body builders as well as athletes alike. In this overview, we take a closer take a look at the IGF-1s action, what outcomes you can expect from its usage and also exactly what potential side effects to look out for.
Human growth hormone hands out the majority of its results with IGF-1 lr3. When you have a look at the insulin you will discover that it has extremely similar residential or commercial properties. It has actually been confirmed to help blood sugar level accounts in those that have type 2 diabetes mellitus and if you do take a high dose then you might even have an enhanced insulin resistance as well. Certainly, it is very important to know that when you do take IGF that it cannot heal diabetes however you can use it to attempt and fight a few of the impacts that diabetes mellitus could provide you and also this is a major benefit that you understand you could benefit from.

Zaphod Beeblebrox IV is Zaphod Beeblebrox's (the former President of the Galaxy) deceased great-grandfather. He helps Zaphod, Ford, Arthur, Trillian, and Marvin escape the Vogons in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by teleporting them to safety using his dead-person-powers. He is rather ill-tempered at times, and holds his great-grandson (who he calls "Zaphod the Nothingth") in contempt for being so irresponsible. It is he who explains Zaphod's original plans for finding the 'man running the universe.'
It is shown in the book that he also has two heads and could be a feature passed on (thanks to an accident with a time machine and contraceptive) by Zaphod Beeblebrox himself.
Due to an accident with the aforementioned time machine and a contraceptive, Zaphod Beeblebrox is Zaphod Beeblebrox I (or the Nothingth, accoding to great-grandad), his father Zaphod Beeblebrox II, his grandfather Zaphod Beeblebrox III, and his great-grandfather Zaphod Beeblebrox IV.
He also gives Arthur a parting gift of tea ('the most delicious he [Arthur] had ever tasted') in a silver teapot after he hears that the Heart of Gold's circuits were occupied because of Arthur's efforts to teach the Nutri-Matic Drink Synthesizer to make tea.

Reviews forFrosted Banana Bars
My Review
Average Rating
"I have made this recipe a million times and they are always a big hit!! I have also added walnuts to the batter for a nice addition."
"My family really enjoyed this. I made it in a 9x13 pan because I didn't have the right size. So it came out cakey but was fine. Stored in the fridge. Tasted better cold to me. And made it a bit more dense. Not as light and cakey"
"taste real good but the frosting just a little runny"
"These are really easy and so delicious. I only had a half sheet pan. They were thinner than usual but still turned out great. Highly recommended!"
"These bars are so good! I had bananas to use up and my family loved these!"
"My teenage boys gave this amazing dessert five stars! Even though I made it into a cake since I did not have a 15x10 pan. Took an extra 15 min baking time but well worth the wait. The frosting mirrors our local bakery's delicious frosting and now I cam make this at home. The boys said they will avoid eating the bananas so I can make this again. Thank you for sharing."
"Outstanding! This is so easy and is a hit at every gathering. My college age son begs me to bring to share with his housemates every time I visit."
"Just made these today. Had to use two 8x8 square baking pans, baked for 24 minutes. Turned out beautifully. Think I will cut the frosting recipe in half, to save on calories and sweetness next time. Gets two thumbs up on deliciousness!"
"I have been looking for this recipe. These classic old fashioned bars are so good & always a crowd pleaser."

SHAMEFUL: Nigerian Army Quietly Buries '105 Missing' Soldiers Killed By Boko Haram
The Nigerian Army Tuesday quietly buried several soldiers at the military cemetery in Maiduguri. The Soldiers, THISDAY gathered, are believed to be the 105 Battalion during a fierce gun battle with Nigerian Troops at Gudun-bali, Borno State last week.
"Gudunbali was attacked this morning and some weapons were captured from the battalion. Two officers and 105 soldiers are still missing," the platform sources had informed PREMIUM TIMES. The Nigerian military has claimed series of victories over the militants in recent weeks. On Monday, the army claimed that it captured and destroyed a factory where the group makes rockets and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
A Military source in Maiduguri said bodies of the men were brought to "Maiduguri Monday evening". The Military authorities, in an attempt to keep the news away from the Public, had denied that soldiers were killed or missing, describing the report as a "fabrication of the imagination of those sympathetic to Boko Haram ways.
The Army Spokesman in Maiduguri, Colonel Tukur Ismail Gusau, had said Boko Haram attacked the location of the 157 Battalion, but they were "subsequently repelled by the gallant troops of the unit" adding that the unit's commanding officer remained in contact with his Brigade.
The terrorists were reported to have captured a T-72 Tank in the attack as well as several military artillery weapons . The source who confirmed the burial of the 105 missing soldiers yesterday said about 34 men of the 118 Battalion were also killed by the insurgents last week.
"These deaths marks a low point in the war against the terrorists", the source stated.
But Col. Usman informed THISDAY that the burial that took place was not that of the purported 105 dead or mission soldiers. He stated that burial of the soldiers close to the theatre of war was a routine military procedure.
Meanwhile, Nigeria's Former Minister of Aviation, Olufemi Fani-Kayode, has taken a swipe at President Muhammadu Buhari, the Minister of Defence, Rtd Brig. Gen. Mansur Mohammed Dan Ali and the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai over the alleged 'secret burial' of soldiers killed by Boko Haram insurgents.
"The most reprehensible thing that our government can do is to cover-up the fact that 105 of our soldiers were killed by Boko Haram in battle.It is evil".
"A soldier ought to be honored in death and this is especially so if he dies in the course of doing his duty and fighting for his nation".
"The government has not only dishonored them by not acknowledging their sacrifice but they have also buried them in the wilderness like rabid dogs"
"This is wickedness of the highest order and Pres. Buhari, his Chief of Army Staff and his Min. of Defence should bury their heads in shame".
"I am outraged by the fact that a soldier will sacrifice his life for his country yet the citizens of that country don't even appreciate it," he posted on his Twitter Handle.

What made you decide to become a fiction writer?
I don't know that it was a choice. I've always wanted to write a novel. Then one day a friend from work told me about her writers' group and the novels she'd written. That moment was a catalyst for me. I suddenly felt very silly about not writing, like I couldn't think of a single good reason why I hadn't already done it. And then I started writing.
What type of stories do you write? And why?
That seems like it should be such a simple question to answer…
I write lesbian romance. Sometimes suspense. Sometimes erotica. Always lesbian.
Why? Because lesbians kick ass. Clearly.
What do your family/friends think about your writing?
Most of them haven't read any of my books. Or if they have, I don't know about it. That's my doing, not theirs, by the way. I just can't imagine being able to have a normal conversation with my mother-in-law after she's read a sex scene that I've written.
That said, they all think it's cool. For sure. How many are lucky enough to write books AND have them published? That's totally badass. My family and friends are suitably impressed. 🙂
Where do you get your ideas?
I have no idea. Everywhere? Life? I think about characters I would like to know, and then it all just sort of goes from there.
How do you write; do you plan everything out or just write?
I have a vague idea how it's supposed to go. I know the beginning and the ending. The stuff in the middle unfolds as I go.
What makes Uncommon Romance special to you?
That question makes me laugh. For those who haven't read Uncommon Romance, or know what it's about, let me offer a little background. Uncommon Romance is a collection of three erotic novellas. It's by far the smuttiest thing I've written, and it was a blast.
But it still makes me giggle to think of it in the context of why it's special to me. I'm enough of a prude (my mother's influence) to turn into a fourteen-year-old, incapable of doing anything but blush when thinking about how incredibly dirty it is.
Is it special to me? Sure. It was empowering to write these incredibly graphic scenes about women claiming their sexual power.
Also, Uncommon Romance was a total experiment for me. It's my first release that's straight-up lesbian erotica, not romance with erotic elements. Also, it's a collection of three novellas, rather than one longer story. If I do another erotica release, I think it'll follow this format again. I like the tight density of a novella. It packs a really solid punch without getting tedious.
How much of yourself and the people you know are in your characters?
I don't model my characters after people I know, for the most part. I do grab certain characteristics that I like and give them to my characters, but I'm not sure that's the same thing. I don't have a single character who, as a whole, could be claimed as a tribute to a living person.
Let me explain. My mom was very conservative, yet one of her staple beliefs was that you treat people with love and respect, no matter what. She believed that people have the right to choose their own path. And it wasn't her job to act as judge for those decisions. So, even though we were at odds about a lot of things, we were also able to maintain a close and loving relationship.
The moms in "Love and Devotion," "Split the Aces," and "Chaps" all share that in common. They treat their children with love and deference and don't try to live their lives for them. But none of those moms would ever be mistaken for my mom. Ever. They share that one characteristic, but everything else is different.
Which gay/lesbian authors inspired you the most? Do you have a favorite book of this author(s)?
Wow. So many. Cate Culpepper, Gill McKnight, Yvonne Heidt, Andi Marquette, Lynette Mae, Ashley Bartlett… The list goes on.
The important thing I want to illustrate here is that every one of those women writes in a way that touches me. But more than that, they also have done so much to support me as a writer and to support lesbian fiction as a community.
Do you have any suggestions for new writers?
Find a good writing group. Participate. LISTEN.
When you're not writing what do you do for fun?
A perfect day involves time on my bike. I'm not in great shape, but riding my bicycle makes me feel like I can do anything.
Which is the favorite of the books/stories you've written and why?
Wow. That is such a tough question because everything I've written was incredibly important and filled a specific need when I wrote it. Objectively, though, Love and Devotion is my favorite right now. I expect that will change in the next ten minutes.
I wrote that book after taking a two-year hiatus from writing. I lost my mom, and it took me that long to get to a place where I could even think beyond the grief of that loss. Writing that book meant that I was healing. And I'm really proud of the results.

Location: Houston, Texas2011 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
Obj. 1: Investigate the impact of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake from food and supplemental sources on blood levels, cognitive performance, neurophysiological function, heart rate and blood pressure, and a lower incidence of allergies and upper respiratory infection in children. Sub-Obj 1A. Determine the DHA content of the plasma and erythrocyte phospholipid fractions and relate these to current and previous DHA intake. Sub-Obj 1B. Determine the effect of short- and long-term DHA supplementation on the DHA content of plasma and erythrocyte phospholipid fractions. Sub-Obj 1C. Determine the effect of DHA supplementation on cognitive and neurophysiological function, heart rate and blood pressure, and prevalence of allergies and upper respiratory infection. Obj. 2: Investigate the pathways and nutritional modulation of methyl group production in under- and normal weight pregnant women. Sub-Obj 2A. Determine whole body protein kinetics, methionine kinetics and transmethylation, an index of methyl production and utilization, serine and glycine fluxes, indices of production rates of methyl group precursors, and conversion of serine to glycine, and glycine to CO2, indices of methyl group supply from these precursors to the transmethylation pathway, in under- and normal-weight pregnant women. Sub-Obj 2B. Determine the effect of dietary supplementation with sulfur amino acid-rich whey protein vs. legume/cereal protein on methionine production and transmethylation rate and on serine and glycine fluxes in underweight pregnant women. Sub-Obj 2C. Determine methionine kinetics and transmethylation rates during the first trimester in groups of underweight pregnant women with either normal or low plasma vitamin B12 concentration, after dietary supplementation with Vitamin B12. Sub-Obj 2D. Determine methionine kinetics and transmethylation rates in underweight pregnant women with either normal or low plasma folate concentration after dietary supplementation with folate.Obj. 3: Investigate differences in bowel flora, antioxidant capacity, and mitochondrial integrity between severely malnourished and well-nourished children. Sub-Obj 3A. Measure the populations of bacterial divisions and species in bowel flora populations in children as well as bowel flora diversity with edematous as well as non-edematous SCU and in well-nourished children. Sub-Obj 3B. Measure antioxidant capacity and mitochondrial integrity, as well as characterize the immune system in children with edematous vs. non-edematous SCU. Obj. 4: Initiate a pilot study of genetic susceptibility to ESCM. Obj. 5: Conduct exploratory analyses of the relationship between risk of ESCM and individual genetic variation. Obj. 6: Evaluate population-specific genetic variation. Obj. 7: Characterize the developmental profile of the GI microbiome and transcriptome in healthy, term infants. Obj. 8: Compare the effect of breast versus bottle-feeding on the development of GI microbiome and lactose digestion/absorption. Obj. 9: Profile changes in the GI microbiome in response to the introduction of weaning foods such as dietary starch in the form of cereal. Obj. 10: detect gene-gene/environment interactions.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
Studies will be performed in two groups of healthy, well-nourished children between 3 and 6 years of age (n=160) and between 8 and 12 years of age (n=160). A blood sample will be obtained, and the DHA content of the child's plasma and erythrocyte phospholipid fractions will be measured and related to current and prior DHA intakes, to blood pressure, heart rate, and presence of allergies and upper respiratory infections. Whole body protein kinetics, methionine production and transmethylation, serine and glycine fluxes, and conversion of serine to glycine and glycine to carbon dioxide will be measured in groups of Indian women with low (=18.5) and normal (>18.5 = 25) BMI between 10 and 12 weeks of pregnancy and again at 26-28 weeks. These measurements plus maternal gestational weight gain, neonate gestational age, birth weight, length, and head circumference will be repeated in groups with BMIs =18.5 after dietary supplement with more energy and protein and in those women with low blood vitamin B12 and folate, after 16 weeks of supplementation with vitamin B12 and folate. Additional studies will evaluate 6- to 24-month twins who are at high risk for malnutrition. Stool samples will be collected in a disposable diaper for multiplex pyrosequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes present in gut microbial communities and pyrosequencing of total community DNA (the gut microbiome). A second study will be performed in 50 severely undernourished, 6- to 12-month-old children who are receiving therapeutic food to promote rapid catch-up growth. Antioxidant capacity will be assessed by whole blood glutathione, erythrocyte superoxide dismutase, erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase, and serum oxidized proteins. Mitochondrial integrity will be assessed by lactate and the copy numbers of mitochondrial DNA/RNA in peripheral monocytes, measured by real time duplex nucleic acid sequence-based amplification. To assess how immune response varies with nutritional state, a panel of 27 cytokines will be assessed. Collect data on genetic susceptibility to ESCM and other phenotypes that result from malnutrition using cutting-edge genomics tools and methods in human genetics. Cutting edge technology will be utilized to address this significant global health/nutritional concern. Utilize models to identify genotype associations.
3. Progress Report
In obj. 1, DHA was assigned to all subjects and psychological testing has begun. In obj. 2 we are studying underweight pregnant women to determine the effect of dietary supplementation with extra energy and protein on protein synthesis and production of serine and glycine. We have now completed 18 measurements after 12 weeks and 9 after 30 weeks of pregnancy. The rest of the women will be studied when they reach 30 weeks of pregnancy. In obj. 3, 320 twin pairs and 3 sets of triplets were enrolled in Malawi to explore relationships between intestinal bacteria and the growth rate/nutritional status of children. 100 twin families are enrolled in the study, and 143 pairs of children graduated at 3 yr. 15,235 patient visits were conducted; 8,211 stool samples were collected from the children, 519 from their mothers, and 250 from their siblings. 382 children were diagnosed with moderate malnutrition and 166 with severe malnutrition. Sample analyses are completed, and data is being interpreted. For Obj. 4-6, we completed genetic testing on 104 children with severe malnutrition. We showed that children from Jamaica had the expected African-European genetic heritage and are similar to children from West Africa. Our genetic tests did not show a single strong gene responsible for kwashiorkor, but several genetic variants may be involved. In obj. 7-9, infants on different diets were assessed for the composition differences of GI tract bacteria. Samples from children were compared to adult samples. This study will provide information as to when to collect stool samples, how to store the samples, and optimal methods to analyze the stool samples to tell us what bacteria and how many of each type of bacteria we might find. Stool samples from the children were analyzed, and the main types of bacteria present were identified. The amount of bacteria did not differ between children and adults. Since bacteria are classified by their degree of relatedness, we compared those from children with those from adults along a scale that provided information as to whether the bacteria were broadly related (phylum) down to closely related (genus). At the phylum level, a greater proportion of bacteria were Firmicutes in children compared with adults. In contrast, children had a smaller proportion of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria. In obj. 10, we created a massive computing cluster and storage array to fulfill the need of large-scale computation for the proposed statistical methods development. We received funding to develop statistical methods to analyze next-gen sequencing data in unison with this project. Grants have been submitted since this will lead to data access, which is important in order to test the methods developed. A manuscript was submitted describing the statistical framework used to study population structure, local ancestry inference for admixed individuals, and haplotype-phenotype association mapping. A companion software package was developed and is being tested. The ADODR monitors project activities by visits, review of purchases of equipment, review of ARS-funded foreign travel, and review of ARS funds provided through the SCA.
4. Accomplishments
1. A novel fortified blended flour for treating moderate acute malnutrition. Children with moderate acute malnutrition are often treated with low-cost, fortified corn/soy blended (CSB) flour, but the recovery rates are approximately 75% lower than that achieved with costly peanut paste-based ready-to-use supplementary foods (RUSF); thus an effective but reasonably price solution is needed. Children's Nutrition Research Center researchers have bridged the gap between affordable but ineffective CSB, and costly but effective RUSF, by developing a novel fortified CSB recipe, "CSB++". We found that the children's recovery rate for CSB++ was similar to soy RUSF; however, the children receiving CSB++ required on average 2 days longer to recover. The recovery rate observed for CSB++ was higher than for any other fortified blended flour tested previously. These findings are internationally important as a new nutritional supplement will benefit children suffering from moderate acute malnutrition.
2. Including antibiotics to address severe acute malnutrition reduces mortality rate by half. Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) contributes to 1 million child deaths annually. It is unclear if providing empiric antibiotics, in which an antibiotic is selected based upon clinical history as opposed to a specific diagnosis, decreases mortality and failure rates for children. Children's Nutrition Research Center scientists tested the effect of empiric oral antibiotics on mortality and recovery rates of children treated for SAM. Among 2775 children the overall recovery rate for those who received antibiotics was significantly better than those who received no antibiotics. The mortality rate was also significantly less among children receiving antibiotics. These findings are important as they show that SAM should not be addressed solely with nutritional supplementation, the addition of an empiric oral antibiotic to the outpatient therapy improves the recovery and the mortality rate by approximately half.
3. Genetic factors in the response to severe childhood malnutrition. A longstanding problem in human nutrition is to understand why some children develop edema (kwashiorkor) when they suffer severe nutritional deprivation. Researchers at the Children's Nutrition Research Center in Houston, TX, conducted a study that uses genetic methods to identify pathways that affect the physiological response to malnutrition. Early results indicate that there is not a major single gene that determines the edema response; thus a larger sample size is required to find multiple genes that may influence the response. This is the first study to use state-of-the-art genetic mapping methods to understand the physiological response to severe childhood malnutrition. Ongoing work is expected to establish whether edema is influenced by a few genes with relatively large effect or whether there are many weakly acting genetic factors involved.
4. Phylochip versus gene sequencing for identifying bacteria in the human GI tract. The normal bacteria flora of humans are complex and consist of several hundred species that impact overal health and nutrition of the individual. It is not known which method, phylochip (a fast DNA microarray) or gene sequencing, is better to determine the bacterial composition of the gastrointestinal tract. Children's Nutrition Research Center scientists in Houston, TX, compared two common methods for evaluating bacterial composition, and our results indicated that scientists can use either method but gene sequencing provides a more complete picture of the types of bacteria present in the GI tract. These results will enhance scientists' ability to investigate the role of GI bacteria in human health and nutrition.
5. Does the bacterial composition of the GI tract differ between children and adults. It is not known if the types of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract differ between children and adults and what influences the development of the normal gastrointestinal population during human life. Scientists at the Children's Nutrition Research Center, Houston, TX, are the first to describe in detail differences between children and adults in the composition of the gastrointestinal bacteria. The results of these studies can be used to move forward with other important investigations that will provide information regarding the development of the bacterial population in the gastrointestinal tract. This information is important since abnormalities in the bacterial population have been associated with such problems as inflammatory conditions of the intestine, obesity, changes in mood and activity level as some examples.
6. Developing software to improve nutritional health in populations. It has been shown that certain nutrition-related diseases are more prevalent in certain populations (individual groups from different continents, i.e., European, Asian, African) and races than in others. Children's Nutrition Research Center researchers in Houston, TX, have developed a software package that is able to use a small amount of genetic data to accurately infer population structure with high resolution, which will be important for controlling for (local) population stratification for disease association studies. The software can infer the local ancestry for multi-way admixed individuals, which is likely to have an impact for disease association mapping for African Americans and Hispanics in America. This tool can detect if there are certain types of DNA associated with certain phenotypes and may serve as an important impact in disease mapping for the prevention of chronic diseases in the US.

Lafayette Christian Academy rode the proven scoring duo of Jacob and Kaleb Ledoux to a 64-55 win against Comeaux on Saturday night, vaulting the Knights into a semifinal matchup against St. Augustine.
The twins combined for 31 points, pouring in 15 from 3-point territory.
"They're growing. It's been a lot of work over the summer and early in this year," said Lafayette Christian coach Byron Stark. "But they've done a good job in accepting some of their leadership roles. We've done a lot of things in our practices and workouts that give them that responsibility."
Freshman guard Greg Williams contributed 15 points, 11 in the first half, helping give the Knights a comfortable 13-point lead at halftime.
Williams is the No. 4 small forward in the nation, according to high school recruiting service future150.com.
Williams was also the Knights leading rebounder with eight.
After struggling in the first game, Williams bounced back from what Stark dubbed the "human effect."
"I always have to tell people he's only a freshman," Stark said. "Through the course of 30 games you're going to have some poor ones."
The Spartans tried to work their way back into the game on defense, utilizing a full-court press for most of the second half. But Williams used some slick ballhandling on several occasions to split the defense and finish at the rim.
Lafayette Christian shot a combined 80 percent (16-of-20) from the free-throw line.
Williams and the Ledoux twins used a combination of long-range accuracy and the ability to finish at the rim to beat the Spartans defense.
The three combined to score 46 of the Knights' points.
The inexperienced Spartans ballhandlers could not contend with the Knights half-court trapping defense, committing several turnovers.
A strong shooting start by senior Jaleel Moore helped keep the Spartans in the game in the first quarter, but the shots stopped dropping as the defensive pressure ramped up.
Moore finished with 13 points on 6-for-18 shooting, including shooting 11 percent from 3-point territory.
The Knights limited Comeaux to one shot per possession most of the time and held a six-rebound edge over the Spartans.
Comeaux will play Ellender in the fifth-place game at 3:30 p.m. Sunday.

The art of barbering is a long-standing Turkish tradition, dating back to the time of the Efes and Ottoman Empire. In Turkey being a barber is not just a profession, it defines who you are, as it is a skill that's handed down from generation to generation. A master barber only passes on his title (and razor) to his apprentice after many years of training.
You may never reach barber this level of quality barbering, but you can learn how to properly wield a straight razor by yourself at home. Yes, we know, it is a bit sharp and terrifying, but with these handy beginners tips from the professionals at Ted Baker's Grooming Room, you'll be smooth as a Ken doll in no time.

Passing Along a Godly Heritage (2 of 9) by Ernest Easley
This content is part of a series.Passing Along a Godly Heritage (2 of 9)
Series: GUIDELINESS FOR A GODLY HOME
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Exodus 20:1, 4-6
October 2, 2005
As you are turning to Exodus 20 .. I want to ask every parent and grandparent a question: Are you passing along a Godly Heritage? We parents need to learn that as long as our children only HEAR about God from us without SEEING God in us .. that we will never pass along a godly heritage!
In fact ... if our children only HEAR about God from us without SEEING God in us .. chances are that the only heritage that we'll pass along will be void of God. No wonder after God gave the Ten Commandments that He told Moses in Deut 6.7-9, "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in our house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your home and on your gates." And do you know who God gave the responsibility to for teaching these commandments to the children? The Fathers! Not the government. Not the schools .. but the Fathers are to teach these guidelines for godly living to their children! And God said, "so it will go well with you and with your children."
So how is a Father suppose to teach these guidelines for godly living? Well .. God tells us in Deut 6.6, "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart." Dads .. you cannot give to your children something you don't have. God says that they must first be in your heart before they ever get into your home! If you don't believe these guidelines and practice these words .. you cannot teach these guidelines to your children.
Verse 7, "You shall teach them diligently to your children ....." Isaiah 28.10, "precept upon precept;; line upon line." Build truth upon truth. Teach God's word over and over again to them. And be creative about it! Read a Bib ...

Okay, so if you remember my last post, it meantioned me creating my own CP's. Well good news... I have one finished and all I have to do is edit it, re-write it up and post it. The first one I am doing is- The Stitched Lover
No, it isn't a 'Lost Episode'. Yes, it's about a girl. A girl with long black straight hair. It'll be up as soon as I can get it up! I promise. As for the other Pasta (The Finder), I'll get right on that after the first one is posted.
I would like to meantion a few little things about my writing. First off, I love writing and I make very few CARELESS mistakes. I always go over it again, (And use a dictionary), to fix up little mistakes. Second off, The Stiched Lover is going to be my first CP, so don't insault it a lot. You can tell me what needs to be fixed up and some errors that made it a little worse, but please, no mean comments, swearing is okay (Except with the word that begins with a N ends with a R... You know what I'm talking 'bout, ((My skin color is white, but I don't like racisem))), and one last thing... NO BULLING!!
Thank you so much for reading! Feel free to check out my YouTube channel if you want.... Same name as my Creepypasta wiki user (KittenMadeOfAsh1) it'll be very appreciated.

Growing international trade has helped lift living standards around the world, and yet free trade is always under attack. Critics complain that trade forces painful economic adjustments, such as plant closings and layoffs of workers, and charge that the World Trade Organization serves the interests of corporations, undercuts domestic environmental regulations, and erodes America's sovereignty. Why has global trade become so controversial? Does free trade deserve its bad reputation? In "Free Trade under Fire", Douglas Irwin sweeps aside the misconceptions that litter the debate over trade and gives the reader a clear understanding of the issues involved. This third edition has been thoroughly updated to include the latest developments in world trade - including the practice of off-shoring services, the impact of trade on wages, and the implications of trade with China-based on the latest research.

FreeSpace 2
Review by Ex Astris Scientia
"A great game still worth picking up."
OK, i bought this game for £10 last year in a package deal with the original Freespace, this unfortunately has been withdrawn from production, meaning unless you know someone who has this game, and is willing to sell, Downloading may be your only option.
This game sold incredibly badly, around the figure of 40,000 copies, due mainly to lacklustre marketing, it is strange that so little time was spent on marketing, when so much was spent perfecting this game. Which leads me nicely into our first item.
Sound - 10:
This is one of the highlights of the game, the attention to detail given here is simply amazing, the voice acting is damn near flawless, and perfectly suited to the scene. It never seems over the top, or underacted, and it enhances the immersion factor of the Freespace Universe tenfold. Robert Logia (Of Independence Day fame) as Admiral Petrarch, of the GTD Aquitaine was for me, one of the best acted parts in ANY game, despite the fact you never actually seem him in the game, he fits the part perfectly. The sound effects are all solid, and sound exactly as you would expect them to. The music is not great, its listenable, but not as spectacular as the other aspects of the sound. I personally prefer to listen to a few well chosen MP's with the game, and the great thing is that the game plays well to any good music, pop, rock, but best is Orchestral movements. The fact that the music isnt so great i dont feel degrades the overall aural experience, since it is so easy, and effective to just play your favorite MP3s with the game.
Graphics - 9
The game is now over 3 years old, and once you load up a mission, and fly alongside the massive capital ships, you would think it wasnt 3 weeks old. The attention to detail prevailant throughout the entire package is just as apparent here, unlike most games producers, Volition seem to have paid far more attention to getting great results from less than stellar, the game can run fine on the recommended specs, which is a slimline P166 with 16MB of RAM. This means that this game is a must for anyone looking for a game to bolster their collection on a slower PC. This might not mean much now, in the days of 3.06Ghz Pentium 4's and AMD Bartons, but back in the day this was some achievement.
The capital ships look great, and are all rendered with some degree of realism, the smaller fighters look great too, generally however their lower number of decals make them look a little on the bland side, but nonetheless very nice, and certainly better than anything else from 1999, or 2000-01 for that matter.
Gameplay - 10+:
I give this aspect of the game a 10+ because i just dont think that 10 does it justice, the gameplay of this title is responsible for the wasting of my young life for the last 3 years, and proberbly for a little while to come.
The feeling of zipping among these utterly HUGE ships, performing anything from dogfights, bombing runs, surgical strikes, or simply trying to stay alive, is simply indescribeable!
The gameplay is structured much like any other game of its genre, the mission is preceded by a Briefing, and Loadout/Ship Selection, after the mission there is a Debriefing, with structured (as in dependant on your actions during the mission) comments on your performance.
To say this, makes the game sound rather average, this is far from the case, even the oft boring briefing menu is made into something spectacular, missions are explained step by step, using very effective, and concise diagrams, and very good voice acting.
The game itself is enhanced in realism massively through the use of a joystick, though i completed the game 4 times before ever using my Sidewinder on it, and i find the game to be far more difficult with the joystick.
Longevity/Replay Value - 8:
The main campaigne is roughly 40 missions long, now this sounds like a lot, but once you get into this game, you will have completed it in, on average about 2 days, maybe 3 if you are really poor at this genre, However, this is not to say that the game has no longevity, the game comes with the FRED 2 Editor, an updated version of the original FRED from the original Freespace, meaning you can make your own mission, and also, using other software packages (Not all of them free) in theory you could create an entire sequel to the game in FRED2, as it supports the use of 3rd Party cut-scenes or so i am told, meaning those Maya elites out there have your chance to shine!
And for those of you not experienced, you will find FRED to be a very user friendly program.
There are masses of mods and campaigns made by both single users, and small organisations, some with new ships, locations, weapons etc.
Multiplayer is very limited however, and as i can see it, no one plays it anymore.
General Points/Congratulations/Rants
- The games ships, specifically the Terran fighters are very realistic, in that you can definately imagine current terrestrial fighter technology evolving in style of the ships of Freespace.
- The capital ships of the Terrans seem to have had some influences from certain movies, specifically, the Faustus, it bares striking resemblance to the ''Verloc'' from Aliens, and others also have some other games.
- The game has some difficulties running on modern equipnment, it works fine on my old GeForce 2, but it doesnt like the newer GeForce 4 Ti cards, at least in my experience, it works fine on my friends GF4 MX though.
- The game cutscenes are very good, and well acted and produced, however they are too short, and too few and far between.
Overall (NOT an average) 10:
This game is simply breathtaking, and should be bought by anyone who has even THOUGHT about getting into gaming, and for fans of the genre, if you havent bought this game yet then....then....this is for your own good *Slaps You*...NOW GO BUY IT!!!
Though actually buying it might be easier said than done, since it isnt produced anymore, so it may be that burning is your only option, but if possible, get an official copy, with the original freespace included.
Final word: BUY!!!!!

Old timers like the CBS crowd that invented television news in the early 60s, lament that ethics are gone from today's journalism schools, now preoccupied with TV style, visuals, live-shots, ratings, and not responsibility.
Today, too many journalists have turned into propagandists for one side or another, or just mindlessly air both talking points to fill time between commercials. No Truth investigations into what they say.
Critique: Who's doing Truth Watch of what news makers say, if not the media?
The rest of the media, on cable and locally, are just trying to keep their jobs by superficially covering point-counterpoint talking points in a minute-twenty. All this caused in great degree by cable news networks which have mixed opinion with facts in their programming.
Cable news calls itself "The BEAST" because of its appetite for fresh meat to fill time, 24 hours a day, whether it's good meat or not! That's why they run insignifant stories from most anywhere into the ground, until something BETTER comes along. And they always have an eye on their competitors to see what THEY'RE running. Which is why tiresome white coed kidnapping stories with no new developments don't go away so easily. Cable producers are too scared to let them go for DAYS, until viewers disappear in the ratings.
LOCAL NEWS is even worse because there's not much real news.
Sadly, those IN LOCAL NEWS at 5, 6, and 10/11pm will distract us with insignificant LOCAL isolated crimes rather than the big national/world stories of the day. They'll run a local murder and some crying mother, while ignoring political stories affecting us ALL, or international stories of grave danger to us all.
Today's younger reporters hardly know their jobs. They don't go after Truth, they just try to get 'both sides' and call it a day. Giving no thought to who's lying because that takes RESEARCH and they aren't given time to do that on a daily basis by their cost-conscious bosses.
Utterly confused Americans laying in bed watching the news, weren't taught those distinctions well enough, back in high school citizenship class. And they'd KINDA LIKE the media to do that work for them, given their connections back in Washington and at City hall. But the media doesn't. They just do the easy stuff they can gather between 9am when a story is 'decided' an 5pm on the same day to get it on the air.
Mass media, when not superficial like local TV, is alarmingly powerful.
We, who were IN it 30 years ago, know that well. Even though some worthy journalists tended to indulge our egos, and forget that over time. And some, who grew up with no ethics, always ignore that responsibility. Like handling guns and flying jetliners, flying high in a world-critical industry like the mass media, requires utmost respect for its power by those of us IN it.
The Hunger Games
I don't like it when people suggest I take time out to read THEIR favorite books. But there's one recent one, I'd share with you. Three fairly inexpensive books called "THE HUNGER GAMES"-- the FIRST of which is already a MOVIE, with a sequel in planning.
Hunger Games is about teens in a futuristic, nightmare political American environment. Drama, adventure, love, politics. A 'Scholastic' set of books. Easy reads for long drives and hot days inside.
Youthful bookworms have already read this controversial trilogy. All teens and young people should read them. So should we adults if we want to know what they're thinking.
You won't be able to put them down once you start. Go ahead and buy all three. "The Hunger Games", "Catching Fire", and "Mockingbird". Enjoy, and be forever changed in your perspective about the future and the hope we should have to change it.
Summary: My conclusion is that the media isn't doing its job. They're more interested in profits than saving the Nation! Not at ALL in the Public Interest. Maybe most local stations should get out of 'news' and just sell commercials inside of situation comedies! Because REAL NEWS costs them money~
