|Estimated Nutrient Content
|Guaranteed Analysis
|Dry Matter Basis
|Calorie Weighted Basis
The first ingredient in this dog food is chicken. Although it is a quality item, raw chicken contains about 80% water. After cooking, most of that moisture is lost, reducing the meat content to just a fraction of its original weight.
After processing, this item would probably account for a smaller part of the total content of the finished product.
The second ingredient is chicken meal. Chicken meal is considered a meat concentrate and contains nearly 300% more protein than fresh chicken.
The third ingredient is brown rice, a complex carbohydrate that (once cooked) can be fairly easy to digest. However, aside from its natural energy content, rice is of only modest nutritional value to a dog.
The fourth ingredient is ground rice, another name for rice flour. Ground rice is made from either white or brown rice and is considered a gluten-free substitute for wheat flour.
The fifth ingredient is rice bran, a healthy by-product of milling whole grain rice. The bran is the fiber-rich outer layer of the grain containing starch, protein, fat as well as vitamins and minerals.
Please notice the last three items are all rice ingredients. Even though they're a mixture of decent quality grains, there's a more important issue to consider here…
The controversial practice of ingredient splitting.
If you were to combine all three rice items, the rice would then occupy a higher position on the list… almost certainly nudging out the chicken to become the real first ingredient in the dog food.
The sixth ingredient is chicken fat. Chicken fat is obtained from rendering chicken, a process similar to making soup in which the fat itself is skimmed from the surface of the liquid.
Chicken fat is high in linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid essential for life. Although it doesn't sound very appetizing, chicken fat is actually a quality ingredient.
The seventh ingredient is lamb meal, another protein-rich meat concentrate.
The eighth ingredient is salmon meal, yet another high protein meat concentrate.
Fish meal is typically obtained from the "clean, dried, ground tissue of undecomposed whole fish and fish cuttings" of commercial fish operations.1
After the natural flavors, we find flaxseed, one of the best plant sources of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Provided they've first been ground into a meal, flax seeds are also rich in soluble fiber.
However, flaxseed contains about 19% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food.
From here, the list goes on to include a number of other items.
But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of this product.
With five notable exceptions…
First, beet pulp is a controversial ingredient, a high fiber by-product of sugar beet processing.
Some denounce beet pulp as an inexpensive filler while others cite its outstanding intestinal health and blood sugar benefits.
We only call your attention here to the controversy and believe the inclusion of beet pulp in reasonable amounts in most dog foods is entirely acceptable.
Next, we find tomato pomace which is also a controversial ingredient, a by-product remaining after processing tomatoes into juice, soup and ketchup.
Many praise tomato pomace for its high fiber and nutrient content, while others scorn it as an inexpensive pet food filler.
Just the same, there's probably not enough tomato pomace here to make much of a difference.
In addition, sunflower oil is nutritionally similar to safflower oil. Since these oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids and contain no omega-3's, they're considered less nutritious than canola or flaxseed oils.
Sunflower oil is notable for its resistance to heat damage during cooking.
There are several different types of sunflower oil, some better than others. Without knowing more, it's impossible to judge the quality of this ingredient.
Next, we find no mention of probiotics, friendly bacteria applied to the surface of the kibble after processing to help with digestion.
And lastly, this food contains chelated minerals, minerals that have been chemically attached to protein. This makes them easier to absorb. Chelated minerals are usually found in better dog foods.
Nutro Ultra Dog Food
The Bottom Line
Judging by its ingredients alone, Nutro Ultra Dog Food looks like an above-average dry product.
But ingredient quality by itself cannot tell the whole story. We still need to estimate the product's meat content before determining a final rating.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 29%, a fat level of 17% and estimated carbohydrates of about 46%.
As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 29% and a mean fat level of 15%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 48% for the overall product line.
And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 52%.
Near-average protein. Near-average fat. And near-average carbs when compared to a typical dry dog food.
When you consider the protein-boosting effect of the flaxseed in this recipe, and the pea protein and potato protein contained in some other recipes (puppy formulas), this looks like the profile of a kibble containing a moderate amount of meat.
Bottom line?
Nutro Ultra is a plant-based dry dog food using a moderate amount of chicken meal as its main source of animal protein, thus earning the brand 4 stars.
Highly recommended.
Please note certain recipes are sometimes given a higher or lower rating based upon our estimate of their total meat content and (when appropriate) their fat-to-protein ratios.

THERE are 3 088 invaded properties in just six areas in Gauteng – Lenasia, Lawley and Ennerdale, south of Joburg; Lakeside in Orange Farm; and Eden Park and Tinasonke in Ekurhuleni.
The Gauteng Department of Housing released these figures yesterday, saying the situation was untenable and had to be stopped as there were organised syndicates making money out of provincially owned land needed for housing for the poor.
Spokesman Victor Moreriane said about 900 fully constructed houses in Eden Park had been legally allocated to beneficiaries who hold title deeds, but had been invaded.
"People have held title deeds for five years and have not been able to move in because someone has stolen their property. Then, if we as a province now attempt to evict them, we are told we are heartless. We are forced to negotiate with criminals," said Moreriane .
And if action was not taken and invasions were condoned, these syndicates would get the message that they could get away with it and would continue exploiting people, he added.
Yesterday, a multiparty Gauteng legislature parliamentary portfolio committee on housing visited Lenasia Extension 13 to inspect 50 demolished houses and to talk to affected residents.
"The hearts feel, but the law must prevail. Our hearts are human, but we have a duty to address lawlessness. But we are here to see for ourselves what is happening and to see if there is a way forward," committee chairman Errol Magerman told residents.
He asked if residents were prepared to repurchase the properties at market-related prices.
"Province bought this land from private property owners for low-cost housing. As it is, people who have illegally occupied the land have taken over large stands. Government policy is to densify, not to allocate large stands to people," he said.
"We feel for the victims, but the criminal processes must unfold. At the same time, people cannot benefit from free housing where there are so many people needing homes."
The committee will make recommendations to the province and see if there is a way forward, working with the SA Human Rights Commission, which had also done an informal census in the area.
"Our message that we need to get out there is that we will not tolerate anarchy and there will be consequences if there is wrongdoing. As we speak, we know of houses being built," said Magerman.
Residents, however, were not happy. They claim that the issue is racist because the houses of Indians in the area have not been demolished.
Magerman said he would investigate, but had been told that their homes had been purchased legally.
"If the government was that serious about building houses here, it would have done so long ago and this wouldn't have happened. This visit is just a waste of time and will change nothing," said Thomas Thaga, Joburg regional organiser of the SA National Civic Organisation.
Meanwhile, the portfolio committee on human settlements has called for an end to the demolition of homes.
Chairwoman Nomhle Dambuza intends appealing to the Gauteng government to immediately stop further demolition of houses illegally built on government-owned land in Lenasia.
"The heart-wrenching and disturbing images of the government mowing down people's homes, with women being dragged by police kicking and weeping, show the urgent need for a change of heart from this government. The judgment of the court cannot be used as a justification to misplace and render families homeless by the provincial government that ought to act humanely, decently and reasonably," it said.
"The committee will immediately interact with all stakeholders involved to ensure a viable solution is sought to resolve this complex matter without causing further harm to the homes and dignity of the affected members of the Lenasia community."

Pessaries are mechanical support devices worn vaginally to treat the symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, such as vaginal pressure or a vaginal bulge. Pessaries are one of the options along with surgery and expectant management for pelvic organ prolapse. As the aging population grows, more patients will need treatment for pelvic organ prolapse. Various studies have been conducted previously to identify patient parameters predictive of successful pessary fitting and continued use. Our study is a retrospective chart review to identify patient characteristics predictive of successful pessary fitting and use, specifically focusing on the parameters of POPQ, pelvic organ prolapse quantification exam, and the ratio of the genital hiatus, which is the length of the vaginal opening, and total vaginal length.

Crysis Warhead
- Boards
- Crysis Warhead
- Using a Xbox 360 controller to play crisis....
While I don't exactly see why anyone would want to play an FPS game with a controller, I can tell you that the first Crysis has native support for the X360 controller, so I assume Warhead does as well. I always have an X360 controller connected to my PC, and every time I launch Crysis it displays a message saying "X360 controller found" or something like that. With the controller connected, the in-game prompts always tell me what buttons to press on the controller for an in-game action, even if I am not actually using the controller. So apparently having the controller connected overrides in-game key prompts.
Apparently all "Games for Windows" titles have native support for the X360 controller, if it makes sense (I've seen games like Company of Heroes NOT support the controller, but then again it's an RTS so that makes sense).
Anyways, yeah I'm pretty d*mn sure Warhead has native support for the X360 controller.
HellKnightX 8 years ago#13
It does work, but I find it awkward that melee is clicking in the right thumbstick and the B button uses binocs. I feel that they should be switched, but you can't manually change the controls. Also, zooming in the binocs requires you to still use the mousewheel because the function is unmapped on a 360 controller. It's still definitely worth giving it a try though because this game is fun to play with both mouse and keyboard, and a 360 controller.
Slow and steady may not always win the race, but at least you don't end up splattered on the walls.
spireguy posted...
that's because most of the shooters had super auto aim (perfect dark, goldeneye etc etc)
couly posted...
why would anyone want to play a shooter with a controller ?
I have some wicked carpal tunnel. After 8 hours of programming, using a mouse to game hurts. My arm started tingling up-and-down after a marathon session the day Doom 3 came out... after that, I try to avoid mouse-and-keyboard gaming where possible.
I'll play it with the 360 controller
I love using the mouse for playing FPS - I think it is the best thing. The problem for me is that I hate the keyboard when it comes to gaming.
I suffered through Half-Life with a mouse and keyboard and though I loved Half-Life I haven't and won't go back to using a keyboard for games. Case in point: I didn't play Half-Life 2 until Orange Box came out for the 360.
I won't be playing online so it doesn't matter that I am a lot faster and more accurate aiming with the mouse.... I am good enough with the controller for the single player experience.
Like someone else said, all the games branded "Games for WIndows" are supposed to support the 360 controller, but I can't see how a game like Sins of a Solar Empire (which belongs in the "Games for Windows" brand) could be controlled with it.
I know a lot of people love the mouse and I do too. And I understand that if you play a lot of games with the mouse, you might really hate aiming with the analog stick. But I don't understand anyone defending the keyboard
I think its a totally different experience playing a FPS with a controller and a mouse. Crysis has too many buttons to be brought to the 360 controller porperly, I tried, just didnt feel right, esspecially controlling your nanosuit. I also didn't like (not sure if its true in warhead) how you couldnt customize the 360 controller buttons. But at the same time I play COD4 on the 360 and enjoy it more than the PC version.
Why not just use a wireless mouse and keyboard!?!?!
And yes it will work although HDMI from a computer never works right for me. I usually just use DVI-VGA adapters.
ZebraMan1923 8 years ago#19
I find that I cannot relax while playing an FPS on a console. I sit up, become more tense and into it. If I play laying down I become really bad. On a pc, I'm always into it.
I do love M+KB, but a controller is always nice at times.
"Also, zooming in the binocs requires you to still use the mousewheel because the function is unmapped on a 360 controller."
It's mapped. You just use left trigger to zoom in, left bumper to zoom out once in the binocs or scope zoom. Not real intuitive, but it works fine once you get used to it.

DNO International reported Wednesday that it has expanded its exploration portfolio in Sultanate of Oman and the Republic of Yemen. The firm said it has been selected by the Yemen's Ministry of Oil and Minerals as a successful bidder for onshore Block 84, while it has entered into a separate farm-in deal with respect of Block 36 onshore Oman.
DNO Yemen has been awarded a 59.5-percent participating interest and operatorship of Block 84, so joining Turkey's Dogan Enerji Yatirimlari Sanayi ve Ticaret, which has a 25.5-percent stake in the block, and the state-controlled Yemen Oil and Gas Corporation with 15 percent.
The Block 36 farm-in agreement sees the transfer to DNO Oman of a 75-percent participating interest from Allied Petroleum Exploration. The company will assume operatorship and fund reprocessing of existing 2D seismic data along with the acquisition of new seismic data as well as the drilling of two exploration wells.
DNO Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani commented in a company statement:
"Block 84 in Yemen and Block 36 in Oman expand our footprint in two core areas in which we have extensive subsurface knowledge and operating history. And we are building up our pipeline of exploration prospects with a focus on materiality and early execution."
Block 36 is located in the Rub al Khali basin. Two exploration wells previously drilled on the block have confirmed the presence of source rock in the basal Silurian hot shale – an organic, rich shale that has sourced the majority of the oil and gas fields discovered in the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa.
Block 84, onshore Yemen, is located in the Masila-Seiyun Basin, which is adjacent to Block 14 where more than one billion barrels of oil have been discovered.

On a recent client engagement, my colleagues and I were challenged with implementing continuous integration on a Flex project. For those unaware or uncertain, continuous integration, as defined by Martin Fowler, is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently, usually each person integrates at least daily – leading to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible.
With well written unit tests and automated building (on code check-ins), we were able to produce reliable builds with reduced risk; bugs were spotted sooner and were considerably easier to remove. In addition, continual deployment allowed for QA to get to new features faster, and receiving their feedback earlier in the process made for a very collaborative development cycle.
Paul Barnes-Hoggett has a thorough write up of the process that we followed; it's a good read, and easy to follow should you decide to implement the same.
Here's to best practices, stress free development, and quality deployment!

Peroneal neuropathy caused by touriquet pressure is usually temporary. This doesn't mean that you don't suffer considerable inconvenience and expense in the interim. Nevertheless this is a published risk of the procedure. Nerve function should recover in six months to oone year. You should discuss with your md what kind of rehab you can do to minimize loss of muscle and maximize full joint mobility while recovering. There is of course the possibility that in your particular case there were actions taken by your surgeon or not taken by your surgeon which increased the probability of your suffering this injlury. Also the injury could have permanent consequencences. Whether you have a possible legal claim depends on the jurisdiction where you received care. Malpractice cases in all jurisdictions are time consuming and expensive. Each jurisdiction has statutes of limitations and some have statutes of repose which can bar yours rights if yoou do not act timely. Consult a malpractice lawyer in your local.Ask a similar question

Soap pick of the day: EastEnders – Phil gives Sharon an engagement ring
Will the Mitchells' bid to impress social services pay off?
A visit from the fostering assessment social worker results in all the stops being pulled out. Billy buys a bread maker and fresh flowers, while Phil slips an engagement ring onto Sharon's finger.
And yes, you heard that right, Phil is now going for foster care of Lexi instead of residency as he feels that it gives him a better chance of winning the case.
Not that Rick from social services is going to be won over so easily. After probing Phil about Ben pleading guilty to manslaughter, the Mitchell patriarch quickly makes his excuses and leaves the room.
Sharon follows Phil into the kitchen and reminds him that they are doing this for his granddaughter. As the questions continue back in the living room, Sharon assures Rick that, although they may not be perfect, they are loving parents: "As far as kids are concerned, we'll go to the ends of the earth for them," she says.
Later, Rick joins Phil in the Vic to discuss his businesses when Jack reveals that he knows the guy from his old job in the police force. Sharon urges him to put in a good word, but a reluctant Jack is left incensed when Rick mentions how well suited he thinks Sharon and Phil are. Will Jack be able to put his jealousy to one side and support his girlfriend?
EastEnders is on tonight at 7.30pm on BBC1

Edward "Ted" and Pat Jones-Confluence Point State Park is located at 1000 Riverlands Way in West Alton, St. Charles County. Take Interstate 270 to Route 367 and head north, toward Alton, Ill. Route 367 becomes U.S. 67 and crosses the Missouri River. Just before the bridge over the Mississippi, take a right turn (there is a service station there) on Riverlands Way into the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary.
The road heads toward the Melvin Price Locks and Dam. After two miles, take a right at the sign that points to the park. The gravel roads leads back 4.3 miles to a small parking lot.
The covered kiosk has interpretive exhibits that tell about the history of Native Americans, fur traders, steamboats and Lewis and Clark's visit.
A short walk through the trees ends at a paved path out onto a point of land where the Mississippi and Missouri meet. The rivers' names are written in bronze plaques imbedded in the concrete.
What looks like a flagpole is actually a "floodpole." The golden ball on top is the high-water mark of the Great Flood of 1993, a vivid reminder of the power of the two great rivers.

Three-Month Average Volume: 126,855
Volume % Change: 318% From a technical perspective, ABTL soared higher here and broke out to a new 52-week high with heavy upside volume. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last five months, with shares ripping higher from its low of $4.56 to its intraday high of $12.25. During that uptrend, shares of ABTL have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ABTL as long as it's trending above Monday's low of $11 or above $10 and then once it sustains a move or close above Monday's high of $12.25 with volume that's near or above 126,855 shares. If we get that move soon, then ABTL will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that move are $14 to $15.

Let's be honest. More Atlanta Braves fans are interested in seeing Chipper Jones have his number retired than to actually see their three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks at Turner Field.
Nevertheless, the games must go on, and they're still important. The Braves have lost six of their last nine games and have played .500 baseball since starting the season 13-2. They're holding on to a 5 1/2-game lead in the National League East, while the Diamondbacks are clinging to a 3 1/2-game lead in the National League West.
Who's chopping:
This series has the potential to go deep into extra innings, as the Braves bullpen ranks best in the NL with a 2.74 ERA, but the Diamondbacks are third with a 2.94 ERA.
Tim Hudson has gone at least six innings and hasn't allowed more than three runs in his last five starts.
Paul Goldschmidt has hit four of his 19 homers in the last 10 games. He leads the NL with 67 RBIs.
This will be the first visit to the Ted for both Martin Prado and Randall Delgado since being dealt for Justin Upton and Chris Johnson over the offseason.
Who's flopping:
The Braves enter the series with the second worst batting average with runners in scoring position – .225.
B.J. Upton is back to his old ways, going 3-for-his-last-22 (.136).
Friday, 7:30 on Fox Sports South: Braves RH Julio Teheran (5-4, 3.32 ERA) vs RH Randall Delgado (0-1, 4.50 ERA)
Saturday, 4:05 on Fox Sports South: RH Tim Hudson (4-7, 4.10 ERA) vs RH Ian Kennedy (3-4, 5.21 ERA)
Sunday, 1:35 on Fox Sports South: LH Paul Maholm (8-6, 3.75 ERA) vs RH Trevor Cahill (3-9, 4.29 ERA)

Topic: Dad's chemoembolization
My father had his first gemcitabine chemoembolization on Monday afternoon. Because he is 86, they kept him overnight at the hospital. He experienced dementia that evening and yesterday morning, which we assume was from the morphine. He came home yesterday evening and is doing remarkably well. He got up this morning and showered on his own, has a decent appetite and is taking no pain or nausea meds. I know that the side effects can set in up to a week later, but I am so pleased he has done so well thus far and feel bad waiting for the other shoe to drop.
He will have another treatment on January 19th and then they will do an MRI to see if the tumor has changed. Since he has tolerated it well, I expect the doctor to increase the dosage or possibly try doxorubicin. She indicated the she chose the gemcitabine because she thought he would tolerate it better.
Please keep your fingers crossed that this thing shrinks.

Sheryl Crow has been voted the Most Unlucky in Love Female in Hollywood by In Touch Weekly magazine.
Who has the bad luck in making relationship with opposite sex? According In Touch Weekly magazine it's Sheryl Crow. The singer, sad to say, earns the unwanted title of the Most Unlucky in Love Female in Hollywood for her many failed-relationships with numbers of men.
Crow, who previously dated the likes of Eric Clapton, actor Owen Wilson, and Kid Rock, was once engaged to cycling legend Lance Armstrong. The last also didn't work well that she was once quoted as saying, "I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone. That's the only true fear I have."
It works better for Jennifer Aniston tough for she only comes 2nd following her much publicized failed marriage to Brad Pitt and her recent split from Vince Vaughn. Cameron Diaz, whose romance with Matt Dillon, Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake all ends in splitville, makes the list on the 3rd spot.
The already retired model Tyra Banks is also one among the Unlucky in Love Females in Hollywood, raked 4th in the list, just one place ahead of pop singer Mariah Carey who is rounding out the Top 5.

On the way home from this weekend's Carroll County IL trip, we detoured through Clinton, Iowa, to tour the replicas of the Nina and Pinta, two of the three ships that Christopher Columbus used on his voyage.
The Nina is said to be the most historically accurate replica ever built. The Pinta was built larger than the original in order to accommodate a larger deck for visitors, and air conditioning was added to the cabin below for the crew's comfort. Asked whether a Santa Maria would be built, a crew member said he doubted there would be a Santa Maria since it would require a 14-foot draft, double that of the Pinta, making navigating some of the shallower waters difficult. The draft is the distance between the water line and the lowest point of the ship.

The two ships are making their way up the Mississippi River, docking and available for tours at cities along the route. The next stop is in Marquette, Iowa, June 19-24, at the Marina by the Lady Luck Casino.
Once the ships reach Winona, Minnesota, they'll turn around and work their way back south. So if you didn't get to see them on the way up, you can catch them on the return trip. Click here to see the scheduled stops.

This week, Fashion Assistant Marla Horenbein spills her no-fail beauty finds and secrets.
Describe your beauty style in three words or less? Easy breezy!
What are three beauty products you can't live without? I am totally addicted to my CHI Flat Iron without it, my hair would be one frizzy, curly mess! I also can't live without my Neutrogena Makeup Removing Wipes. I love how clean they make my face feel, even before I wash it. And to keep my summer glow year round, I rely on my Too Faced California In A Compact Bronzer.
What's your beauty routine in the morning? I wash my face, then apply a face and body moisturizer to keep my skin feeling soft and smooth. I usually spray some dry shampoo onto my hair to give it a fresh boost and then run my flat iron over any stray strands. After I've touched up my hair, I usually get dressed and then apply my makeup. Bronzer and blush first, eyeliner and mascara second, and lip balm or gloss third. Nothing crazy, just simple and easy!
At night? Before going to bed, I take off my makeup and hop in the shower (I hate getting into bed feeling dirty!). After my shower I moisturize, then I apply a curl relaxing cream to my wet hair, and twist it into a knot on top of my head so that it doesn't dry super-frizzy.
Post-workout? It depends on the time of day that I hit the gym. I either shower (if I go early before work), just wash my face (if I go when I get out of work), or wash my face and spritz some dry shampoo onto my hair (if I go on the weekend before running errands).
What beauty product or treatment instantly makes you feel good? Can I name two? I love getting my bi-weekly manis/pedis because they make me feel fresh and polished. I also LOVE getting my hair colored. My family and friends have a joke that I have identity crisis because I am constantly changing the look of my hair!
What's the best beauty tip you've ever received (or thought of yourself)? I have always thought that a smile is one of the most attractive features on a person. That being said, you can't have a great smile without amazing pearly whites, so I always make sure to brush my teeth twice a day. My grandfather was a dentist, so he used to yell at us if we didn't brush our teeth. I used to hate it when I was little, but now I totally appreciate him for that!

Century students study, contribute to global peace
Century School students have become members of a global family dedicated to peace.
And they are collecting pennies to fund the mission.
The Century students are joining tens of thousands of school children around the world who hope to "empower communities" in remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan through Pennies for Peace.
The initiative is not only a gesture of philanthropy, but also offers students a glimpse into a culture far removed from what they experience, first grade teacher Beth Baker-Knuttila explained.
The children are watching videos and reading the children's version of Greg Mortenson's "Three Cups of Tea," which is "Listen to the Wind."
The books recount the journey that led Mortenson from a failed attempt to climb Pakistan's K2 (the second highest mountain on earth) to establish dozens of schools and promote girls' education in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan.
"It takes kids two hours to get to school," first grader Brody Hagen reported. "Walking."
The sparse trees and imposing mountains in the country impressed the first graders, as did the fact the students themselves helped build the school.
Prior to Mortenson founding the Central Asia Institute, the students wrote with sticks, on the ground. Teachers worked just half days, or were nonexistent.
"I felt so bad," fourth grader Olivia McDonald said of the revelation. "And they have to carry wood," she said of children's roles.
"Terrorist" has entered their vocabulary; but it's balanced by the understanding of the power embedded in grassroots efforts. Each project is locally initiated, implemented and managed.
Landen Burlingame said he was unfamiliar with the "dangerous" environment in Afghanistan, until the Pennies for Peace campaign began.
"It's a lifelong dream for kids to come here," Haley Alden said.
"And there are not as many bad people as we thought," the kids agreed.

"A teen basketball player's promising career threatens to be derailed by the drugs and violence in his seedy neighborhood"-- - (Baker & Taylor)
A coming-of-age, semi-autobiographical tale on the realities of black inner-city life follows the experiences of young Andre Battel as he grows away from his Jamaican family, discovers basketball court talents, and turns drug dealer for a street gang. - (Baker & Taylor)
A coming-of-age, semi-autobiographical tale on the realities of black inner-city life, written by a MacArthur grant recipient, follows the experiences of young Andre Battel as he grows away from his Jamaican family, discovers basketball court talents and turns drug dealer for a street gang. 20,000 first printing. - (Baker & Taylor)
In contemporary American fiction there are very few examples of novels that have portrayed the realities of black inner-city life with honesty, empathy, and storytelling skills. Into that near-vacuum steps Marcus Burke and his first novel,Team Seven—a literarily accomplished, autobiographically tinged coming-of-age family drama with an undeniably authentic feel for place, language, and character.As Andre Battel, a native of Milton, a town south of Boston, ages from age eight through his teenage years, he grows away from his Jamaican family, discovers genuine prowess on the basketball court, and eventually falls into dealing drugs for the local street gang, Team Seven. But when Andre and his crew fall behind on payments, dire and violent consequences await. The story is told primarily through Andre's voice, but we also see the point of view of his mother, Ruby, a hardworking medical secretary; his older sister, Nina; his mostly-not-there and typically drunk-and-high father, Eddy, a halfhearted reggae musician; and Reggie and Smoke, the kingpin of competing drug crews.What emerges is a rich portrait of a black family, a black community, and one young man poised between youthful innocence and ambiguous experience. - (Random House, Inc.)
Marcus Burke grew up in Milton, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston. A standout athlete, he attended prep school at Brimmer and May and was recruited to play basketball at Susquehanna University, where he played varsity for all four years. But a knee injury limited his playing time, so he took up fiction writing instead and was accepted at the Iowa Writers Workshop, where he was awarded a grant in honor of James Alan McPherson from the University of Iowa MacArthur Foundation Fund. He lives in Iowa City, Iowa. - (Random House, Inc.)
Booklist Reviews
This coming-of-age novel marks the promising debut of African American author Burke, a product of the Boston suburb Milton, Susquehanna University, and the Iowa Writers Workshop. We first meet man-child Andre Battel as an eight-year-old at home with his mom, Ruby; an often absent dad; and Ruby's solid and quite wonderfully portrayed Jamaican parents, Papa and Nana Tanks. A local street gang, Squad Six, and its charismatic leader, Reggie Graham, tempt young Dre, but Ruby continually reminds her son that he is "a cut above" the rest. He is, among other things, an apparently gifted basketball player (like the author), but, like his father, he gets into "weed" and, though he escapes it, is involved in a related tragedy befalling two friends. He is maturing and acquiring self-awareness as the novel ends, and readers will hope he achieves his promise. To whatever degree the novel is autobiographical, Burke is well on the way. Copyright 2014 Booklist Reviews.
Library Journal Reviews
Teenaged Andre Battel, from a Jamaican family that has settled in downbeat Milton, MA, finds himself by playing basketball but then loses himself by dealing drugs. Burke hails from Milton but was able to attend prep school and Susquehanna University as a star athlete, then wrecked his knee and turned to writing. The MacArthur Fellowship says it all.

The Xena character, famously played by New Zealander Lucy Lawless, was introduced in a made-for-TV movie called "Hercules and the Amazon Women". Lawless reprised the role in a series called "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys". Xena became so popular that a series was built around her character, with Lawless retained for the title role.

PT boats were motor torpedo boats: small speedy vessels that used torpedoes as their primary weapon against large surface ships. The "PT" stands for "Patrol Torpedo".

1. Like most car radios : AM/FM
The radio spectrum is divided into bands based on frequency. "High band" is composed of relatively high frequency values, and "low band" is composed of frequencies that are relatively low. FM radio falls into the band called Very High Frequency, or VHF. Television signals use frequencies even higher than VHF, frequencies in the Ultra High Frequency band (UHF).

7. End of a lame pickup line : OFTEN
"Do you come here often?"
9. Med. scan : MRI
A CT (or "CAT") scan produces (via computer manipulation) a three dimensional image of the inside of an object, usually the human body. It does so by taking a series of two dimensional x-ray images while rotating the camera around the patient. The issue with CT scans is that they use x-rays, and high doses of radiation can be harmful causing damage that is cumulative over time. An MRI on the other hand (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), uses powerful magnetic fields to generate its images so there is no exposure to ionizing radiation (such as X-rays). We used MRI equipment in our chemistry labs at school, way back in the days when the technology was still called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMRI). Apparently the marketing folks didn't like the term "nuclear" because of its association with atomic bombs, so now it's just called MRI.
13. Hosiery brand that sponsored women-only 10K races : L'EGGS
L'eggs is such a clever brand name, I think. L'eggs is a brand of pantyhose (L'eggs = legs), with its product sold, well it used to be, in egg-shaped containers (L'eggs = "the" eggs). The brand was introduced in 1969 and was an instant hit. The inventive marketing of L'eggs pantyhose led to a competitive response by Kayser-Roth who introduced the No Nonsense brand in 1973. The idea behind No Nonsense was that the packaging of L'eggs was just a gimmick, and here was a No Nonsense alternative. L'eggs won the battle though.
18. Biogenesis scandal nickname : A-ROD

As a youth, Hewson was given the nickname "Bono Vox" by a friend, a Latin expression meaning "good voice", and so the singer has been known as Bono since the late seventies. His band's first name was "Feedback", later changed to "The Hype". The band members searched for yet another name and chose U2 from a list of six names suggested by a friend. They picked U2 because it was the name they disliked least ...
25. Indy racer Luyendyk : ARIE
Arie Luyendyk is a racing driver from the Netherlands, winner of the Indianapolis 500 on two occasions. Luyendyk's son, also called Arie, is following in his father's footsteps and is also an auto racer.
26. Ex-president who swore in President Hoover : TAFT
William Howard Taft may have been the 27th President of the United States, but his lifelong ambition was to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. President Taft was able to realize that dream in 1921, eight years after losing his bid for re-election as president. As Chief Justice, this former US President swore in two new presidents: Calvin Coolidge (in 1925) and Herbert Hoover (in 1929).
President Herbert Hoover was born in West Branch, Iowa, the only president to have been born in that state. His birthplace is now a National Landmark, and President Hoover and his wife are buried there, in the grounds of the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum. President Hoover died at the age of 90 years old in 1964 outliving his nemesis, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, by almost 20 years.

The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race covers a massive 1,161 miles, from Anchorage to Nome in Alaska. The race starts every year on the first Saturday in March, with the first race having been held in 1973. The fastest finishing time was set in 2002 at just under 9 days. The first few races only used a northern route, but then a southern route was added to the roster every second year. It's kind of a good thing, because when the racers take the northern route they don't even pass through the town of Iditarod!

Have an AT&T Nokia Lumia 1520 and still wish it had Qi-standard wireless charging? There is a way
0. phoneArena posted on 22 Apr 2014, 01:57
The battle for supremacy in wireless charging is far from over however. Qi is well established, but PMA is gaining...

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa u cant be serious!!!!
3. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Somehow, I suspect the cost of parts to roll back to Qi charging is close to the cost of the PMA charging option (~$100 at MS store, there must be an Internets vendor who is beating the MS store retail price). And then there is the cost of screwing up the attempt….
2. 0xFFFF (Posts: 3806; Member since: 16 Apr 2014)
Thanks, ATT, for doing anything you can to screw the customer.

Don't ever let it be said that AT&T doesn't have its best interests at heart.

You'll notice the instruction include an "international" backplate for the 1520, but there is no cable. The cable inside the device is designed for a PMA connector, so you have to jerry-rig some parts.

With the price of that charging cover you can buy a new mat/charger altogether....

As Microsoft just joined up with ATT in the "(Corporate) Power Matters Association", it seems the world will be fated wtih Microsoft Mobile phones that don't support Qi, don't include wireless charging, but make you buy expensive "PMA" phone covers.
