FEATURE - Wind Power Sets Sail From Crowded Germany
Date: 03-Dec-07
Country: GERMANY
Author: Sylvia Westall
They generate 5 percent of Germany's electricity -- more than in any other country in the world. But with the best plots already taken, there are now few spaces left where companies are allowed to build more. And it's not just a German problem.
"There's not that much empty land space," said Steve Sawyer, secretary-general of the Global Wind Energy Council, which represents the industry. "Northern Europe is this little, crowded peninsula on the western tip of Asia with an awful lot of people.
"The next big phase of development in places like Germany and Holland will be offshore, where the resources are so much better."
With a target of generating around 30 percent of its electricity using renewable energy sources by 2020, Germany is one of several countries where investment is being poured into offshore wind technology. The first large sites are planned for next year in the North and Baltic seas.
In countries keen to reduce emissions and dependency on fossil fuels, offshore is the place to invest, analysts say.
Thanks to offshore investment, Germany's environment ministry predicts wind power could generate around a third of electricity by 2030, more than currently generated using gas.
The country's engineering association estimates there is 50 billion euros (US$74.31 billion) worth of potential investment in offshore wind.
"At the moment I would buy German offshore wind projects," said associate William Young at consultant New Energy Finance. "There's a sea-change going on in offshore at the moment which could allow some good money to be made for people who are willing to take calculated risks."
It is not just a question of space. Offshore turbines can also work harder, generating at full capacity up to 50 percent of the time. Sheltered onshore turbines work at full tilt around 20 percent of the time.
In Britain, where around 1.5 percent of electricity is produced by wind, opposition to 50 metre-tall turbines near homes has meant companies are also looking out to sea.
"The land-grab has happened," said John-Marc Bunce, alternative energy analyst at broker Ambrian Partners.
"In places like the UK there was never really enough land anyway and the government was crazy thinking anyone would want to have a wind turbine next to their house."
Also, as the European Union makes emitting carbon more costly, utilities once wary of investing in renewables are taking note. Under EU rules, companies have to buy extra emissions permits if they produce too much harmful carbon dioxide, making polluting more expensive.
Germany's biggest power producer, RWE, said last month it plans to quadruple its generating capacity from renewables, investing 1 billion euros annually from 2008, mainly in onshore and offshore wind.
In countries which have space on land, investment is also wise, Bunce says: the United States alone could supply most of the world's wind power growth in the next five years.
Recent research supports the theoretical potential of wind power.
Stanford University researchers have found that if only 20 percent of the world's wind power could be captured, it would satisfy 100 percent of energy demands for all purposes and over seven times its electricity needs.
But offshore wind is not without drawbacks, and over the longer term, it could be upstaged by other sources.
"It costs a lot more and it's a lot more difficult. The development of offshore technology is in the same place that onshore wind industry was eight, 10 years ago," said Sawyer at the Global Wind Energy Council.
Offshore turbines have to be installed and maintained in much harsher conditions, and while they can be bigger and more powerful, they need to be extra reliable.
"It's almost like designing a ship. You can't afford to have a 5 million euro machine standing offshore, and some 25-cent part breaks and have it sitting i

DEFENDER Aden Flint was flattered to be targeted by a number of clubs in recent weeks, but the centre-back took an even bigger compliment from the fact Paolo Di Canio wants to keep him at the County Ground.
The big defender performed well on his return to the Robins side on Saturday in place of the injured Joe Devera but his future looked uncertain in the two weeks leading up to the match, with manager Di Canio openly discussing interest in Flint.
A bid from Bradford was rejected and, although Flint was flattered by their interest, he is in no doubt that he wants to remain at the County Ground.
"I have not read too much into it to be honest, and I don't know all that much about what has been going on," he said.
"I didn't know about it until it came out in the paper, but the manager has stressed he wants to keep the squad together which is good for me.
"I want to stay at Swindon anyway, so I just need to carry on.
"It is a compliment to be linked with other clubs because it means they see something in you, but it is even more of a compliment that the manager wants to keep me here.
"We haven't really spoken about any offers or anything like that, he has just said I am not for sale and that is the way it is.
"All I need to do is keep my head on the pitch, and I am a Swindon player so I just have to keep doing my job."
Town travel to league leaders Tranmere on Saturday but, even though his side are now up to third in the table, Flint is not getting too carried away by the prospect of automatic promotion.
"We are up to third in the league which is obviously good, and we can go to Tranmere as the team third in the league," he said.
"I don't think we want to get too carried away by anything, we are in the play-off places now and we don't need to get over-excited and thinking about finishing in the top two or anything like that.
"We just need to keep winning games and see where that takes us."

Day 1 – The beginning
Introduce yourself to this colourful, compact city by starting off the day in Piazza della Repubblica. Sit outside in one of the cafes that line this square, order a cappuccino and biscotti and watch the fashionable Florentines go by against a backdrop of towering domes and burnt orange roofs.
After breakfast walk through Via Roma and you will come across Brunelleschi's famous Duomo and the medieval Baptistery, the oldest building in Florence. In the same square lies the Campanile, an elegant bell tower.
From here saunter through Borgo San Lorenzo to reach Piazza San Lorenzo where you can admire the Brunelleschi Basilica. Commissioned to Brunelleschi from the Medici Family in 1420, this cathedral represents a classical example of Brunelleschian architecture.
Later in the day, stroll by the open market of San Lorenzo, located on Via del Canto De'Nelli, Via Dell'Ariento and Via Sant' Antonino, one of the biggest leather markets in Italy (open daily from 9am until 7pm). It's great for picking up beautiful hand-made Italian leather bags and belts.
You should have worked up an appetite after all that shopping so why not take the opportunity to taste some genuine Florentine food. There are clusters of atmospheric trattorie's in this area. Don't forget to check out that there are plenty of locals eating there as a guide for a good meal.
If you in the mood for some more shopping Via del Corso has some cheap and cheerful clothes and shoes while if designer clothes are more up your alley, head to the area around Via della Vigna Nuova.
Florentines, unlike the rest of the Italians, have always preferred wine to coffee. They may not have the café culture that Rome boasts of but their love of wine and the influx of foreign students has made sure Florence has some lively nightlife. Dolce Vita in Piazza del Carmine, is a particularly good spot to watch the sun go down while sipping a chilled cocktail.
Day 2 – Culture to Cuisine
Start off the day in Piazza Santa Croce, one of Florence's most lavish churches. Built in Florentine gothic style, this church's interior holds the funeral monuments of figures such as Michelangelo, Galileo, Rossini and Dante.
From Santa Croce, if you stroll along the river you will reach the Uffizi Gallery and the treasures that it holds. You should allow three hours to appreciate all that the Uffizi has to offer and the wise museum-goers should book their tickets in advance to avoid the lengthy queues.
Further along the river you won't be able to miss the famous Ponte Vecchio, now lined with glittering jewellery shops. Walk across the bridge admiring the view of the city's reflection on the way.
A short stroll east of the bridge will bring you to the largest palace in Florence, Palazzo Pitti, home to Cosimo I de' Medici in the sixteenth century. Behind this impressive palace are the enormous gardens of Giarrdinodi Boboli, where you can take a well deserved break to eat an old-fashioned gelato, ice-cream or take a nap under the shade of a tree.
The 'other' side of the river, once an artist's quarter, is now home to some of the swankiest shops in Florence. This is a good place to do a bit of window shopping on your way to one of the many excellent Tuscan restaurants that this historical area has to offer.
Day 3 – Escape the city
You mustn't leave Florence without a visit to the Bargello. Its many Renaissance sculptures are housed in the fortress-like Palazzo del Bargello. This atmospheric museum has a whole room devoted to Michelangelo and a beautiful gothic courtyard.
Why not escape the hot city on your last afternoon to the magnificent gardens of the Medici Villa della Petraia, about 3.5km north of the city. Walk around this opulent villa and see the frescos of the Medici's from their 'hey day'. You could also bring a picnic, stretch out those weary legs and linger over a delicious panini and perhaps a local Chianti wine!
If you are lucky enough to be in Florence in April to July, you should not miss an opera or classical music show organized by the annual festival, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, in one of the many venues scattered around the city.
Alternatively, you could go to the open air cinema at the Forte Belvedere, above the Boboli gardens. This is highly recommended as a place to go on a balmy night with a clear sky, as moons glow and twinkling stars will bring out anyone's romantic side.
Day 4 – Siena
After 3 full days in Florence, it is nice to get a break from the city. Siena presents the perfect opportunity to do so. Situated just 50 kilometres south of Florence, this small walled city has a lot to offer and you won't be able to fit it all in a day, but you can always make an attempt at visiting the city's flagship attractions. And before you even get there the 90 minute to 2 hour train journey is a spectacle on its own.
Like many medieval European cities, walking around Siena's ancient streets is the same as walking around a museum. Naturally this has its advantages as if you don't get to visit some of the museums or cathedrals.
Some parts of the city which it would be criminal to miss (but you probably won't due to Siena's compactness) is Piazzo il Campo. Many who visit Siena agree this isn't only its most spectacular one, but also one of Italy's. Duomo (the city's cathedral) is a remarkable example of Gothic architecture, along with the nearby Palazzo Pubblico with its 97 metre high bell tower, known as Torre del Mangia.
If it is (more) culture you are after visit the city's Museo Civico. Of all Siena's museums this is arguably its most impressive housing some wonderful paintings from many the two most famous Sienese artists Simone Martini and Ambrogio Lorenzetti. Upon entering you can saunter through various rooms and see many displays which are sure to keep any art lover enthralled for an hour or two.
And before heading back to Florence (or you could also stay overnight if you wish) visit the Ospedale di Santa Maria which can be found opposite the Duomo. Starting its existence as a hospital from 800s for a total of 900 years and into 1980s, it was then restored and converted into a museum. A very impressive collection of art is on display here also so try not to miss it.
If you do decide to stay in Siena for the night you find an abundance of bars and nightclubs, but there is enough of them to ensure you will have a choice of where to go. Some of the ancient city's hot spots include Barone Rosso which hosts many local bands, The Walkabout Pub, Siena's own antipodean drinking hole, and Irish Pub which always guarantees a memorable night.
Day 5 – Your final day
A good place to begin your final day in Florence is at Piazza della Signoria. The L-shaped square is not the centre for the endless amounts of tourists which visits the city every year, but since the middle ages it has also been the political hub of Florence (from 1268 to be exact). It ended up with its unique L-shape due to a 'civil' war between rival families which saw a total of 38 buildings destroyed. As they were rebuilt the strange shape began to take shape.
Scattered all around the square are a number of monuments, statues and fountains which, one by one, mean you could find yourself visiting the nearest camera shop for an extra roll of film quicker than you expected. The best known of all of these is the Statue of David. But this one is fake. So only take a snap if you plan to tell people you are standing at an impostor. Other statues in the area which are sure to make your jaw drop (for a few seconds at least) is the Rape of the Sabine Woman and that of Heracles, sculpted with great elegance by Baccio Bandinelli.
Once you feel you have devoted enough time to Piazza della Signoria (chances are you will need to sit down and people watch over a coffee at some stage) make your way to Galleria dell'Accademialocated on Via dei Servi. This is where you will find the real statue of David. No doubt you may have caught a glimpse of it at some stage in a travel guide or postcard, but due to the size of the sculpture (it really is HUGE) it can't be appreciated until you see it up close. Most people visit the museum solely to see David (which was sculpted by Michelangelo), it is that impressive.
Considering Florence is where the world's first opera was performed in 1598 when 'Daphne' took to the stage at the home of Jacopo Corsi, you can't vacate in the city and not go to one. The most famed venue in the city for its operatic performances is Teatro Comunale. You can also catches operas and dance performances in the smaller Teatro della Pergola and also Piazza dei Congressi.

The Hijab Barbie Instagram Is A Must Follow
In lieu of Mattel's recent release of a more diverse set of Barbie options, 24-year-old Haneefa Adam has created an Instagram of her own line of Barbie fashions called Hijab Barbie, or for short — Hijarbie.
"Hijab means modesty to me and it's my unique identity," said Adam, "It's my crown and it represents my own personal control over the way I want to be seen. Not leaving out the fact that it's a religious induction."
All of the mini-outfits on the Instagram are designed and sewn by Adam herself, and she's currently building a website for Hijarbie so the outfits she's designed can be sold.
"It's important to create a sense of value in the Muslim child, especially the girl child," Adam said of her designs, "They become more confident, more driven, they believe more in themselves, which leads to an appreciation of herself and her modest lifestyle and upbringing. Instead of dressing up her dolls in clothes she wouldn't wear, hijabifying it will create a sense of belonging and hopefully make a positive impact."
Check out some of her designs below and the full collection @Hijarbie.

You may have a passion or hobby that could blossom into a business of your own. Learn more about business start up basics.
Experience, maturity, and energy inspire older workers to find financial and personal fulfillment by starting their own businesses. Advanced technologies have made that goal easier for everyone to achieve, whether at a business location or in your own home. Sole proprietorships, home-based operations, and online businesses are flexible and less expensive to start. Other small business options include buying a franchise and raising capital to finance a business.
If you're thinking of starting your own business, look for one that truly interests you. Consider if you want to learn new skills or build on the skills you already have. Decide how much you will want your new business to depend on technology. Most importantly, think through your business plan before you open your doors.
Small Business Administration
If you are interested in starting a small business, the U.S. Small Business Administration has a variety of programs to assist you. Free one-on-one counseling is also available locally to help entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs in the areas of financing, management technology, government procurement, and other business related areas.
The Small Business Administration first recommends that you complete its SBA self-assessment to understand your readiness to start a small business. The Small Business Planner has information and resources to help you at any stage of the business lifecycle.
Tips to Get Started
As you plan your new business, here are some additional tips for the beginning stages:
It's never too late!
It's never too late to start your own business. Mature entrepreneurs have some advantages over their younger colleagues, according to experts, including a bigger network of contacts and greater networking skills. They also have more patience, a more positive outlook, and greater problem-solving abilities. Colonel Harland Sanders – Founded KFC at 65
Using his first Social Security check for start-up funds, the world famous Colonel Sanders launched Kentucky Fried Chicken at the age of 65.

Laura Ingalls Wilder – Wrote Her First Novel at 65
Wilder's "Little House on the Prairie" series may be some of the world's most beloved children's books, but she was well into her sixties before she began publishing them. There were nine books in total and countless short stories and articles, the proceeds of which provided a college education for several young people she "adopted."Ray Kroc – Started McDonald's in His 50s
Kroc was 52 when he opened his first McDonald's restaurant in 1955 in Des Plaines, Illinois. A high-school dropout, he based it on a format used by the McDonald brothers at their restaurant in San Bernardino, California, and paid them franchise fees as he opened more restaurants. He bought out the McDonald brothers when he was 58.
Leslie Blodgett – Company Went Public at 46
Blodgett, CEO of Bare Escentuals, the bath and body products manufacturer, launched her company's initial public offering when she was 46.

The company has continued to grow at a rate that has
shocked Cole. After only being open for four months, Cole entered Fat
Head Brewery into the West Coast IPA Festival and won. After winning
again in 2010 and 2011, Cole and his team were forced to step back and
realize that their beer was strong enough to compete with the best in
the world. Since then, Fat Head Brewery has received medals from
competitions such as The Great American Beer Festival, The World Beer
Cup and many more. In total, they have earned 25 medals.
The award
winning brewmaster hasn't peeked just yet. In 2017, Cole will expand
the Middleburg Heights Fat Head Brewery to a larger facility which will
double the company's brewing capacity. With this expansion will come the
ability to brew 60,000 barrels a year as well as offer customers a
state of the art tap house/restaurant. The new facility will be located
on 80 acres, and it will be a unique experience that allows customers a
glimpse into the brewing process, with areas such as the fermentation,
the lab and the barrel aging areas all visible. In December, Cole made a
trip to Germany to brew with a family owned brewery that has been
around for more than 140 years. Cole reached out to Ossi and Roland
Kundmuller, the brothers who run the brewery in a tiny village outside
of Bamberg, which is about 50 miles west of the Czech Republic.
Experiences like this are times that Cole holds close to his heart, as
he values the people and priceless brewing lessons he has learned as he
follows his dream. Cole says he loves to create and that the science
behind each beer intrigues him. He is proud to watch his beers develop
"an idea… a name…a beer… a brand people look for" says Cole. Fat Head
Beer can be purchased at major grocery stores such as Meyers or Krogers,
but more importantly it is available locally at Ada's 302 Carryout.

21 responses to "The best"
Tell me that's not your top 23 favourite songs.
10cc/Dreadlock Holiday
Nice comp. Matt. I love how you inserted Coolio and Avril they work well with the songs around them.
Surely Russians by Sting should be in there?
Yes, you're exactly right.
The presence of the two Tool songs in succession clearly explains those few months of foul language and excessive violence early this year.
No radiohead/ben folds?
Albums, not songs.
phil collins is so hot right now!
Matt, a little disappointed that the only NZ representative on your list is Weta. Listening to Mighty Joe Moon right now. Pure Gold.
I think it is because few NZ bands have that ineffable Other-ness which I retrospectively find in many of the songs on the list.
I've only properly grokked Fuzzy, Copperopolis & Ladies Love Oracle, so I have vistas yet to appreciate.
i happen to know for a fact that backstreet boys/shape of my heart should be included in this list.
are you embarrassed matt?
on the topic of music, the church's hymnal committee is currently taking submissions. i hereby strongly urge everyone to make submissions, and good ones. i have a copy of the committee's mandate if anyone wants it.
12: not embarrased (see: Avril) and it doesn't get on the list, sorry.
13: I don't know any hymns that aren't in the blue or gray hymnals.
so then: submit which ones you would like to see retained. or write your own hymn or versify a psalm and submit it.
i vote more 3 times as many limericks in the new hymnal
also backwards words together around sometimes
Matt, you are missing GLB's finest album. I recently re-acquired Might Joe Moon and will forward it to you, as well as the GLB best of album which has a whole bunch of mint b-sides.
Interesting Matt
Maybe another good one would be to see how many faces to names your readers could put:- e.g.
George Bush
Crackafat(scuse spelling)
Helen Clarke
That would be a good heuristic to try and fun for all.
I don't get it.
Yeah, I like that whole album very very much.

Seriously, who wrote this page? It's filled with assumtions and ideas. It needs a cleanup.
- What assumptions do you mean?--Zervziel 22:24, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
Oh man.The author wrote scientifically, you unnamed user, he wrote all information and theories.And a theory is an idea of something that can be possible in reality, wich is scientific and theories help explain stuff.So, no cleanup!!!
someone needs to delete that warrior dome is the name for the normal warrior is AVP3 there is warrior, warrior dome and ridged. also ridged was NOT is ALIENS it was the normal warrior if u look closely you can see a diference from ridged and normal warriorSPARTAN-III leader 23:25, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
Ok me and my friend on XBL were talking about the ranks of aliens. This is what he thought. Warrior:the normal alien, they expand alien territory. Warrior Dome:they protect territory. Ridged:Probably warrior leaders. (Basically a squad leader) Praetorians:They guard the Queen and in the caste ranking a "princess". Just somethin i wanted to say.SPARTAN-III leader 15:02, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
ok, this is my idea:
warrior dome: young warrior (female and male)
normal warrior: adult warrior (female)
ridged warrior: adult warrior (male)
just an idea
as far as we know,the aliens besides the queen and praetorian are genderless.
in my view and probably others as well is that the warrior is a drone thats older and evolved more, jim cameron said that too.
so a dome head warrior/drone is a young one,the warrior is the older and the ridged...i wish doesn't exist because it came from that crap movie that messed up the alien life cycle and the aliens behavior, aliens are animals and are completely vicious,yet the predalien just stood by and waited for wolf to remove his mask. ~unregistered user~
- Aliens are not animals, they are alien's. Same as Predators, you don't call them animals, they areno more than aliens. We can't call them animals because, well they are alien!Zharksman (talk) (Contribs) 03:35, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
- Cool ideas, but just to clarify: these are different "looks" you can unlock in AVP 2010. "Warrior Dome" resembles the original design from Alien (1979), "Warrior" from Aliens (1986), and the "Ridged Variant" is from AVP:R (2007).

picture refrence
hi, i just wanted to know, where did that first alien come from...what movie as the fangs, either side of its mouth look odd, and it is labelled " mature warrior" but infact a queen is a mature warriror and queens don't have side fangs . 220.127.116.11 19:24, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
at the bottom of the page where the gallery is, there is a pic that says male xenomorph.As far as we know, all xenomorphs except the queen are genderless, first off they have no sexual organs and to have a gender is to have a purpose of mating and you can't mate unless you have the equipment and second, all xenomprhs beside the queen exists to only kill or capture hosts. 220.127.116.11 13:36, December 25, 2010 (UTC)
They got a women pregnant in alien labyrinth.
comics and games are non-canon, so whatever they can do in there doessn't matter compared to the film version and since the films came first and they matter, that little info doesn't at all, though you could put it in a list of things xenomorphs have done in expanded material 188.8.131.52 19:49, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Comics and game are canon until they contradict things in movies... Nothing in the movies really contradicts what I pointed out because we havnt seen a scenario were the above would need to happen.--WAVE 19:07, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Took the "Male" out. Sometimes a specific xenomorph character with a name/ "personality" is identified as a "she" or (rarely) a "he", but for the most part they're "it"s. The only "male" xenos we've seen so far have been created by mad scientists in a lab.---CadmiumX99 06:27, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
- thanks for removing that Cadmium, and wave, comics and games are not canon but there are some comics made to be a sequel or prequel to the movie (such as predators) and the movies have sort of contradicted what you said, the aliens always spread and propagate through implanting hosts and not knocking them up ( well at least not in the human way) and thats the only way we have seen so far and of course the new predalien way which is ridiculous but still uses chestbursters, while the movies have never said directly that alien warriors can't impregnate people, neither is it said they can. comics and games fall into the "expanded material" and "other media" type which are mostly if not completely non-canon until the true makers behind alien and predator like fox or whatever says its canon. 22.214.171.124 15:46, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
- The comics and games are canon, they are licensed Fox merchandise... Not only that but the creators of AvP 1 and AvP2 went out of there way to use the lore from the AvP universe, indicating that it is indeed canon, not only that but the mainline Aliens comics had characters cross over into Aliens vs Predator War.
I have red and played just about all the material and nothing I have seen has been contradicting. Actually the complement what is seen in the movies and makes them even more horrifying. (Note I except that the movie based games are not canon, but any of the games that are not a movie game are canon)--WAVE 23:29, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
then you're mistaken, they do contradict the movies sometimes, some comics have ripley,newt and hicks alive and in some comics the aliens have taken earth, but in Alien resurrection there is no mention of xenomorphs being on earth (if there was they wouldn't have needed to clone ripley). comic and games are not automatically canon and just because they are licenced doesn't mean squat. they need the licence to actually sell the stuff. the storyline and lore in each comic and games is different in each one.(some do share some lore and characters, its like when some people do fanfiction and they use the same "world" as another fanfiction writer did) and the movies came first so its obvious that the games and comics won't contradict the movies that much as they get the lore and info from the movies. games based off movies ore obviously non-canon but still have the fox logo.. i think (never did play avp requiem, i heard it was just as bad as the movie) but alien trilogy(not bad game) had the license as well but its still non-canon.22.214.171.124 15:58, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
- You guys are leaving out a whole range of stuff in between "canon" and "non-canon". Basically we could consider the movies "canon", the spin-off material as "mostly canon", and crossovers like Superman vs. Aliens and fanfiction "non-canon". For example, Wookieepedia uses "levels" of canon to describe the Star Wars Expanded Universe. It doesn't have to be so black and white. Remember, there's diehard ''Alien'' fans who consider AVP to be totally non-canon. FYI, Dark Horse usually tries to keep the AVP comics universe consistent with the movies; see Alien vs. Predator: Thrill of the Hunt, and Aliens: The Female War.----CadmiumX99 16:47, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
- yes i remember a few comics based on AVP films. wasn't female war a remake of something else? i remember something about a few characters being changed. And yes i know dark horse tries to keep things somewhat consistent, as i said the movies came first so the comics will base info on what the movies had and then mix it with something new, and to be honest, i don't blame some for saying avp series is non-canon...they were crap films though the first one had potential, just needed more character development, more gore and not fast life cycles as no matter how alien these creatures are i doubt anything can grow that fast under or around 10 mins. 188.8.131.52 19:07, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Same can be said about the movies... actually this isn't the only canon war this franchises is involved with... There are lots of people that will say Aliens is non canon, let alone Alien 3, Alien Res. Anyways it is explained how and why Aliens change so fast in the novels and comics, Which at least Res and the Avp are based from, the Alien itself chooses when, how fast, how much it will change. They are not meant to seem natural at all. Even the two new movies are going to prove that. Its funny you think that aliens grow to fast because in some books that is exactly the same thing W.Y. scientist (at first) think about them as well. That is one reason lots of people thought that Riply was crazy... Until the company got clear details on the creature they assumed the one in Alien could have gotten no bigger than a small-med sized dog.--WAVE 22:05, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
- we know the movies are canon, though i have never met anyone who said aliens is non-canon (they must be crazy) though i can't blame them for saying alien 3 and alien res are non-canon, a lot of fans loved ripley,hicks and newt and didn't want them killed off (in the words of some: it was a slap in the face.) and as for alien res..well it was a bit far fetched and the alien life cycle rule (biped,quadrupedal) went out the window. though in the alien movies the growth is somewhat possible but the speed in the avp films was crazy. we can't really blame the way alien 3 turned out, there were production probems and lots of money was already spent and the director was brought in late and of course the nasty Fox bastards (pardon my language) kept interefering and tried to force their ideas into the film, in the end they re-worked it without the directors knowledge. i don't bother trying to know much about studios but isn't their part to just finance and maybe help get the film out?...and not interefer in the film's production. they did it in AVP as well, its the reason why there is no gore, they wanted a wider audience veiwing. As for this new prequel, i hear the space jockey is just a suit and it takes place 30 years before Alien..i hope the alines turn out to be natural creatures, as that would make them scarier.184.108.40.206 16:17, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
Varieties of Xenomorph, by Host
I don't think it's mentioned anywhere in this article, the phenomenon of taking on characteristics of the host species. The article describes the common warrior as if it's a set, standard phenotype. The standard black upright xenomorph is most commonly seen, as they're all bred from human stock. However, wasn't there a dog-bred alien in Alien 3? Not as canon, but there were also a line of toys around that time that featured warriors produced from several other terrestrial species. It has always been my undersatnding that taking traits from the host victim species was a clever adaptation and integral feature of the xenomorph species.
- Jack Vermicelli 220.127.116.11 13:58, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
Human-spawned aliens usually are bipedal and humanoid-ish, though resurrection changed that a bit with the legs.
Warriors are in my view and a lot of others, drones that have matured and molted more. Dog alien was in alien 3, so yeah; it takes traits, the page you want is the Xenomorph XX121 (Alien) page which is more detailed with the alien's characteristics The Cruentus (talk) (Contribs) 16:31, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
Dorsal tubes
What fifth dorsal tube are they reffering to? I thought the Xenomorph warriors only had four dorsaltubes if someone coul post of a picture of this that would be great.Gorea Core-X (talk) (Contribs) 12:10, May 2, 2014 (UTC)
- The original Alien in the first film had a fifth, more spikey dorsal tube directly beneath the back of its head, although it's hard to spot in the film. The image I uploaded to the right is just a crude toy, but it shows you roughly where and what it is. Some of the creatures in Aliens and the video games don't have this fifth spine, probably because it gets in the way of the head when they're moving on all fours.--Leigh Burne (Talk) (Contribs) 12:31, May 2, 2014 (UTC)

Warrior Dome?
Isn't Warrior Dome just another way of saying their drones? Deathblade 100 (talk) (Contribs) 09:39, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
- They come from Aliens vs. Predator (the 2010 game) and in the game the skin is specifically referred to as "Warrior Dome". It's a bit confusing and doesn't really fit, but I guess it's only right the page covers it.--Leigh Burne (Talk) (Contribs) 10:22, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
Warrior Carved
What is a Warrior Carved? Is it a Warrior that has evolved? Or a new kind of Warrior? Tell me what you think. Thanks Deathblade 100 (talk) (Contribs) 08:41, August 14, 2014 (UTC)
- If you ask me, it's just another design change thrown into one of the newer films without any thought or reasoning put behind it.--Leigh Burne (Talk) (Contribs) 09:14, August 14, 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your help.Deathblade 100 (talk) (Contribs) 01:20, August 15, 2014 (UTC)
The Drone/Warrior distinction that we currently adopt on this wiki states that Drones are young, smooth-headed Aliens while Warriors are the older, ridge-headed variety. However, I'm not altogether convinced this is accurate and it seems likely that the terms Drone and Warrior are fully interchangeable in franchise media. I therefore think there's an argument for merging the Drone and Warrior pages under whichever of the two terms is more commonplace (I suspect Warrior). As this would constitute a major change on the Wiki affecting a lot of pages it should really be discussed thoroughly before any alterations are made.
I can see that the issue has been discussed before on the Drone talk page with no definite consensus, but it couldn't hurt to bring the matter up again. I suggest that I make make a post here and on the Drone talk page to this effect and we can go from there.-- LEIGH BURNE(Talk) 09:44, March 24, 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not convinced this is accurate either. Although they pretty much fill the same roll, what distinguishes drones and warriors for me is how they act and look. Drones are more stealthy, patient, and intelligent. Warriors don't much bother with stealth and usually just brutes, with some exceptions, such as Specimen 6. Warriors have bladed tails, Drones have a simple barb; Warriors have slopes in their heads while Drones usually have a perfect oval-ish curve.
- I'm only here concerning Grid however. You, Leigh Burne, continue to assert it is a drone and you have zero evidence to back that up. Ever alien in AVP was a warrior and as the games and toys have proven, Warriors can have domed heads just like drones can. If anything, look at the tails. The AVP aliens have bladed tails, not barbed tails. Until I receive evidence that Grid is a drone, I will not let that information be on the page. It is incorrect; you can't even source it.Werebereus - ಠ_ಠ 16:30, March 24, 2016 (UTC)
- So far as I'm aware, the only Alien to ever have a barbed tail was the first in 1979. All others have been given the more common bladed style. So the tail can hardly be considered the defining element.
- And the Drones in Aliens versus Predator 2 weren't stealthy at all. They acted like regular Warriors.-- LEIGH BURNE(Talk) 12:11, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Skin Care and Diseases
Sunburn like rash
About 4 months ago I had shingles on my rear and groin area. About 3 weeks later I noticed a faint sunburn like rash all over my body. It does not cause any pain until I have my period. I hurts during the first 3 days of my period every month. Almost making me think I`m getting shingles again, but it goes away. My doctor has done a regular blood panel but has found nothing she can think of to be causing this. Any ideas?
I'm not sure how old you are but the first thing is to know whether you truly had shingles versus an outbreak of herpes. Herpes simplex virus infection (HSV) is the most common cause of a tender, burning, or painful blistering eruption in the groin or buttock area. The herpes outbreak can come up periodically in the same location/vicinity (although not always the same exact spot) and lasts 7-14 days and resolves. Some patients who get herpes outbreak may also get a separate rash called erythema muliforme about 3-10 days after getting the herpes breakout. I would recommend you see a board certified dermatologist to be evaluated.

Mold allergies
I have been diagnosed with lichen planus and chronic fatique syndrome, following extensive testing (for lymphoma!). All doctors seemed to agree that it was caused by an allergy to mold/mildew, etc., and symptoms were alleviated by removing those.
Would an allergic reaction also cause numbness in mouth/tongue/lips? I have not ingested anything, but have other items at the same time. I`m having trouble getting my tongue over my top lip, lifting my bottom teeth to top lip, seem to be slurring, hearing is just off, lethargic, weak.
My doctor seems to think it is simply more of the same, nothing to worry about. Do I need to look elsewhere?
There is no evidence to support a relationship between your symptoms and mold/mildew exposure. There may be other reasons for having the symptoms you are experiencing. If you are concerned about environmental exposures and your symptoms there are things you can do cost-effectively to reduce your indoor exposure i.e., dehumidification, HEPA air filtration, remediation of water contaminated areas. You may want to see a neurologist if you haven't already for some of the tongue symptoms your are experiencing.

A bar room brawl involving some 40 people or so took place in the Lacy Inn Bar Hanford, CA a few days ago. The Hanford Sentinel Reports one of those 40 men was UFC featherweight, Chad Mendes.
Mendes allegedly sucker punched an unsuspecting patron and was uncooperative with the local authorities before rushing out the back door and fleeing on foot. He was never caught and has been wanted for questioning ever since.
The Hanford sheriff tells the Sentinel Mendes could be charged with assault with a deadly weapon due to his extensive MMA training and he has until Monday (Aug. 6) to turn himself in or a warrant would be issued for his arrest.
Mendes denies any wrong doing. Jeff Meyer, Mendes' manager and practicing attorney release this statement to mmafighting.com
"On Friday afternoon, Chad Mendes was shocked and surprised by the allegations contained in an article published on an Internet news site. While Chad acknowledges that an incident occurred last Saturday in Hanford, he contends that the majority of the facts pertaining to him in the story are absolutely false.
Attempts were immediately made by Chad's representatives to contact personnel at the Sheriff's Department on Friday afternoon. Despite these repeated attempts, Chad's representatives have not received any response from the Sheriff's Department at the time of this release.
Chad denies any wrongdoing and is very upset by the allegations contained in the story. He will fully cooperate with the Sheriff's Department and looks forward to clearing his name."
This past July 7 in Las Vegas, Nevada Mendes acquired a W over Cody McKenzie at UFC 148 via TKO Punches at :31 in the 1st Round.

At age fourteen he was accepted to the famous Utagawa painting school, and in 1812 he formally took the name Utagawa Hiroshige. Renowned for his stunning landscape prints, he was very successful in Japan and in Europe. He was one of the most prolific of the Ukiyo-e artists.
Katsushika Hokusai: 1760—1849
Painter and printmaker born near Edo. Created about 30,000 highly original works, of which his landscapes are most famous. He was influenced by Dutch and French pastoral landscapes, bringing perspective and shading to Japanese landscapes. Often credited with introducing the serenity of nature to Japanese art, and was among the first to paint the common people in his woodblocks.

HTC DROID DNA vs Samsung Galaxy S III
Snapping the same set of photos with their 8-megapixel cameras and comparing them later on a computer, we can say firmly that we like what they produce – though, they have their own specific good/bad elements. Overall, they deliver images that are usable for actual printouts later on. With the Galaxy S III, we notice it produces shots that have more definition and sharpness with its details – whereas it's a bit softer with the DROID DNA. Under artificial lighting, we also take note of the hazy/airy appearance of the DROID DNA's shots. However, its f2.0 lens shows its worth under low lighting, as its images come out brighter and slightly less noisy than the ones produced by the Galaxy S III.
Samsung Galaxy S III

HTC DROID DNA Sample Video:
Samsung Galaxy S III Sample Video:
We're not particularly more attracted to one music player, since they follow the conventional approach with their layouts. Moving onto audio quality with their speakers, the built-in amplifier of the DROID DNA clearly pumps out the more robust tones, but the Galaxy S III still churns out some pleasant tones with minimal distortion – then again, you have Beats Audio support using the headset jack on the DROID DNA.
Hardly a surprise, these two titans are more than equipped to provide us with an engrossing video watching experience. Large high-res screens and smooth playbacks help to keep us entertained, however, we like that the Galaxy S III has more video codec support and has the useful Pop Up Play feature to allow us to multi-task.

Well SIII is still proving that it can give a tough competition to powerful beasts so far.
15. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
You are right about the Samsung Galaxy S III, BUT the HTC Droid DNA has that 1080p screen that is just literally to die for. Also let's mention that the quad-core Krait S4 Pro is more future proof than the dual-core Krait S4 Pro.
To me the HTC Droid DNA is just a VERY capable phone that is really future proof. I got mine rooted & there is word around the grapevine that S-OFF has been achieved.
18. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
All I can say dude is I LOVE my DNA. This phone is a monster, and the battery life is very reasonable for how I use it.
19. Captain_Doug (Posts: 1035; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
Can't wait for CM10.1 on the DNA.
27. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I am with you guys 100%. The HTC Droid DNA is already is a vicious beast, & with a PURE AOSP ROM it will dominate.
Both RootzWiki & Xda have a Senseless ROM that just came out today. It's a Beta 1 BUT it's progress toward a PURE AOSP.
Check it out!
39. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
doesn't matter what kind of screen it has.
16 gigs of internal memory and no slot for memory cards are a huge nail o its coffin.

Ok I am glad you feel the same way about the LG Nexus 4. lol
49. Zarak (Posts: 23; Member since: 21 May 2012)
Does anyone know the name of that home button sticker on the S III?
2. shnibz (Posts: 390; Member since: 18 Sep 2011)
PA just Admit that the SIII is ugly...everyone knows this. Droid DNA all the way.
24. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 4328; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Why would PA do that???
You want to go down the "Bias" road again???
Besides, SIII is one of the better looking phones...
That being said, DNA is better in my opinion, but i won't throw SIII like that!
29. shnibz (Posts: 390; Member since: 18 Sep 2011)
SIII is certainly a good phone. I just think much my like Galaxy Nexus that it's ugly as hell. Samsung has been making some rather unatractive phones.
30. androidlikeaboss (Posts: 40; Member since: 16 Nov 2012)
SIII looks good,but feels like cheap plastic
31. shnibz (Posts: 390; Member since: 18 Sep 2011)
Nexus feels cheap too. Especially compared to my wife's Razr and my old WP7.5 HTC arrive
35. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
+1 shnibz.
still s3 is a good phone but not Against droid dna..
just see:
performance & Panchmark
build quality
samsung always is more popular for softwar..they are unique in this case..but most of softwar programs can port on the other phones..like direct call..
but design and builld quality never come back with up.
i think s3 couldnt beat one x in very aspect..one X+ is more powerful than s3 and beat it in very aspects..its clear about dna.
finally must accpet that droid dna best this year in total..

You forgot to throw in the negatives of the DNA.
I dont think the DNA is best by a long shot.

You want a pretty phone? C'mon men we need phones with unique fictionalized and not beauty it's a phone not a girl

if you want a pretty phone get an iPhone 5 for anything else Galaxy S III

if they are saying that the droid DNA is better then why have they given more review scores to the s3.
8. lzsbleach (Posts: 155; Member since: 20 May 2012)
Review scores are done based on the competition at that time. The GS3 got a 9.3 because nothing could touch it at the time and it set the bar higher for smartphones. This also proves the .3 deference because the GS3 was still the king after a few months on the market. No doubt the GS3 will be the phone of the year.

well.it is alresdy the phone of the year.

It's really amazing that the 6-month old GALAXY SIII can still hold it's own against all these new smartphones.

GS3 is 6 months old and looks boring now, GS3 has more software features but JB has made things like S-Voice obsolete.
DNA all the way.

I don't hear ppl complaining about Nexus 4 with even less memory. Remember Nexus 4 were sold out on contract at Tmo as well.
I guess Wifi serves the well?
26. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Nexus 4 is a bargain.
It costs as much as a midrange phone, but has the latest OS and tech.
You don't have to be a power user to realize the benefit of getting a Nexus 4.
As for me, I said it already - no way it could replace my S3, with that kind of storage

unless you go to Tmobiles truley unlimited plan with no overages or throttle. then cloud life is juuuuuust fine. :)

I know Tmo works for you bro, but there are still too many places like where I live where Tmo is straight garbage man. Otherwise you are right.
12. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Sure, the GSIII is old now and I'd recommend the DNA over it to anyone but don't be in denial of the plus that expandable memory gives you. Not everyone's willing to waste money over data usage when one can access his files for free using a memory card.

"The Great Gatsby" puts the work of a great American writer onscreen with precision and élan. Unfortunately, that writer is Woody Allen. In a classic humor piece called "A Twenties Memory," Allen satirized the glamour of the self-destructive "Lost Generation," recalling the night "Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda returned home from their New Year's Eve party. It was April. They had consumed nothing but champagne for the last three months, and one previous week, in full evening dress, had driven their limousine off a ninety-foot cliff into the ocean on a dare."
That's how the entire upper crust lives in director Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of Fitzgerald's 1925 novel. Lavishing more attention on external luxuries, like the hero's peppy yellow Dusenberg, than on Gatsby's racing imagination, and drowning out meaningful tête-à -têtes with wild parties that depict wretched excess too excessively, Luhrmann drives all his characters off a cliff. There's something mechanical and forced about this director's taste for the bizarre. He's tiresomely determined to be outré.
The restlessness that rustles beneath the surface of Fitzgerald's prose comes hurtling over the top. People driving from Long Island to New York City look like they're testing their engines for an episode of "Top Gear," or maybe a remake of "Speed Racer." An aimless, silly gathering in a small New York love nest becomes a pop saturnalia, cut and performed like a music video in Madonna's "Vogue" period but without her seductive rhythm.
The big bashes at Gatsby's Long Island mansion sometimes resemble mosh pits crammed with celebrants dressed to the nines. In a minor incident in Fitzgerald's book, one reveler wrecks his new coupe and loses a wheel on the way back to New York. The crash doesn't register dramatically because the movie is strewn with as much clatter and cacophony as a disaster film. Long before the end, the wheels of the movie have all come off.
Luhrmann knows that in Fitzgerald's book, the hectic diversions of elite party animals express both the positive energy of a booming economy and the nervous thrashings of the "one percent" – plutocrats and wealthy arrivistes who have lost their moorings in society. But as a director Luhrmann resembles his characters in the worst way. He's a sucker for expensive, empty spectacle, resulting in a movie that's all flash. When he introduces Jay Gatsby to the audience, he can find no better way to announce him than to set off fireworks. If Luhrmann ever does a biopic of the Pope, we'll see a lot of exploding Roman candles.
It's a tribute to the talents of Leonardo DiCaprio, as Gatsby, and Carey Mulligan, as Daisy Buchanan, that some of Fitzgerald's emotion survives this debacle. DiCaprio is persuasive as a mysterious millionaire who, in the words of narrator Nick Carraway, "sprang from his Platonic conception of himself" – a conception that includes winning the hand of Lousiville's belle, Daisy Fay. He wooed her in Kentucky when he was training for the Army in World War I. But he stayed too long in Europe and lost her to Chicago millionaire Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton), a pedigreed, philandering brute.
DiCaprio's Gatsby juggles the tough, con-artist instincts of a fellow who makes his fortune in the Asphalt Jungle with the shakiness of a man who feels he may have muffed his chance at love. Earning millions with help from gambler Meyer Wolfsheim (played by the bizarrely miscast Indian actor, Amitabh Bachchan), he tries to leap over high society's barricades like a champion hurdler.
He buys a castle in nouveau riche West Egg, right across the bay from the Buchanans' estate in settled, traditional East Egg. He entertains there for hundreds every weekend, solely to lure Daisy back to him. DiCaprio conveys the insecurity as well as the self-satisfaction of a man who has taught himself sophistication. The actor savors the humorous incongruity of Gatsby calling everyone "Old Sport" in an accent that makes it sound like "Old Spore."
Mulligan is tremulously vulnerable and alarmingly conflicted as Daisy, who wants to glide through life. Her perfect attunement to each moment is one of her pleasures and her charms. But her husband's bad behavior – including his affair with a garage–owner's wife, Myrtle Wilson (Isla Fisher) – catapults her into confusion. Mulligan creates a voice that sounds privileged and cultivated; as Gatsby says in the book, it's "full of money." ("That was the inexhaustible charm that fell and rose in it," the narrator continues, "the jingle of it, the cymbals' song of it.") Her eyes betray an untapped ardor and deep-rooted fears. She's made to be loved, not trusted.
Luhrmann tries, simultaneously, to open up and to streamline the story, but the director's choices make it either claustrophobic or leaden. The narrator, Carraway (Tobey Maguire), like Gatsby a Midwestern World War I vet, is pictured as a patient in a mental hospital. He comes to grips with his recent experience in a manuscript he calls "Gatsby" – and then, with a flourish of his pen, adds "The Great." (It's almost as if he's Holden Caulfield writing the manuscript that becomes "The Catcher in the Rye.")
Maguire, a game actor, still has a teenage voice. He can be touchingly adolescent when he conveys his worship of Gatsby. But he doesn't yet have the equipment to deliver the most eloquent lines in American literature. It doesn't help Maguire's performance that Luhrmann and his cowriter, Craig Pearce, cut out Carraway's most cogent critical passages and even lop off a classic phrase or two. In this film, Carraway praises Gatsby's "hope" but not his "romantic readiness."
They also use the narrator to over-explain elusively lyrical lines. When Daisy, reunited with Gatsby at last, sobs while burying her face in the thick folds of his shirts, she says, "They're such beautiful shirts. It makes me sad because I've never seen such – such beautiful shirts before." Carraway, in the movie, has to explain that they're the only words she can find to illuminate five years of bottled-up emotion.
Luhrmann can't resist flashing Carraway's old-fashioned penmanship across the screen, or tossing letters over the images as if he were playing Jumble. His attempts to be cutting-edge are consistently dull or excruciatingly ham-handed. The soundtrack mash-up of hip-hop and period jazz is a muck-up. Snippets of Gershwin get buried beneath audio noise and visual clutter, and the rap and pop tunes produced by Jay Z for Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey, will.i.am and others are jarringly off-key.
The use of 3D is calamitous, typifying Luhrmann's approach as a whole. In 3D, the digital New York cityscapes look as artificial as Pandora in "Avatar." What's worse, the 3D minimizes your depth perception rather than tests it. It either pushes the actors so close to you that every facial shift is as easy to read as a diagram, or deflects your attention from a crucial dramatic moment with overpowering pyrotechnics. And occasionally you feel as if flower petals or confetti have lodged in your eyes.
Luhrmann's movie is neither a deluxe entertainment that stands on its own as a pop phantasmagoria nor an adaptation that captures the essence of a masterpiece from a different medium. He fails to honor Fitzgerald's vision or Jay Gatsby's imagination. His arbitrary extravagance lands the film in a plush-lined rut.

Israel predicted Chicago parcel bombs plot
"We were not aware of the precise timing," said a very senior Israeli security official this week, on the discovery of the two parcel bombs on America-bound cargo planes and addressed to shuls in Chicago, "but the platform and the method they used was certainly no surprise."
The official went on to explain that Yemen is now one of the major sources of international terror operations and that the successful location of the bombs was the result of co-operation between the intelligence services of various countries.
Israeli officials were careful this week not to speak on-record about the Yemeni bombs for two main reasons. The first is traditional - a potential attack against a Jewish community abroad is the responsibility of the government of that country, and while Israeli security services are involved in countering such attacks, they do not want to draw attention to their involvement. The second reason is connected to the source of the intelligence that foiled the attack, the Saudis, and neither side likes to highlight co-operation on those levels.
Unofficially though, veteran security experts in Israel were more forthcoming. "Some airlines and airports do not attach sufficient importance to the possibility of cargo being used for terror purposes," said one former security officer in El AL, "our attitude has been for years that you have to treat cargo with the same seriousness you treat the passengers."
"There is a constant race between us and the terror organisations who come up with new combinations of legal substances that can make a bomb capable of bringing down a plane if it's just mixed together the right way," said one explosives expert. "As much as we try to stay in front of the curve, there are going to be new methods that we have not yet developed the appropriate sensors for, even if we know what direction they are going in. Ultimately, only a combined approach of advanced detection instruments and intelligence shared between the various countries can counter the threat."
"One of the most important developments so far has been an improved database that enables us to pool information regarding the threats to civil aviation," says another security expert. "Too often in the past, we found only after an attack took place that some security agency somewhere already had information, but there was no method for quickly sharing this information. Now we have a much better chance of moving crucial information to the relevant agency in real time."
But this technology is not just a tool in foiling terror attacks. In a rare speech on Monday, Yuval Diskin, the head of the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency, with the responsibility for preventing attacks on Israel's civil aviation, emphasised the advantages terror organisations now get from widely available technology.
"Internet technology provides terrorists with intelligence at an unprecedented level that in the past was available only to governments," he said. "For example, Google Earth, web-cameras or iPhone applications can all be used by terrorists to provide quality intelligence."
According to Mr Diskin, "the 21st century is characterised by a diminished reluctance on the part of the terror groups to carry out mega-terror attacks. We need a new concept of
global co-operation, intelligence-sharing, joint development and a new legal infrastructure that will enable democratic nations to effectively fight terror."

PITTSBURGH — Eric Gryba had the puck, and he was carrying it, and then he stopped. Well, he was stopped. The Ottawa Senators defenceman, made so notorious by his blindside crush job on Montreal's Lars Eller in the first round, was skating with the puck into the Penguins zone late in the second period when Pittsburgh's Brooks Orpik stepped into his body, much in the same way an oak tree steps into a wayward car. Both men fell, but Gryba left and did not return.
[np_storybar title="Lessons from the first round of the NHL playoffs" link="http://sports.nationalpost.com/2013/05/14/lessons-from-the-first-round-of-the-nhl-playoffs/"%5D%5B/np_storybar%5D
The Penguins are much closer to an irresistible force than an immovable object, though they are not quite either one, in all likelihood. But Orpik's hit was the biggest bang in what was otherwise a quiet, simple Game 1 win for both teams, after the sturm and drang of their respective first rounds. Ottawa had good moments. Ottawa threw 20 more shots towards the other goal. Ottawa had chances.
Ottawa lost 4-1, neat and tidy. Welcome to Pittsburgh.
"We tried and tried and couldn't get the bounces today, and that's the way it is sometimes," said Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson, who wasn't the dominant force he can be. "We want to come out of our zone with the puck, but sometimes s— happens."
Not much happened, all in all. The Penguins came out like a team that had recently been scared, and the Senators came out like one that was experiencing that feeling in real time. Ottawa's Kyle Turris took a high-sticking penalty and Paul Martin's point shot 2:41 into the game pinballed in off both Jared Cowen and the post.
Ottawa got it back within two minutes — a puck that was fired off the end boards and snuck under Tomas Vokoun's pad, where it was muscled in by Colin Greening — but Pittsburgh kept probing, kept waiting for a chance to unleash a weapon. Less than eight minutes later a crack opened up — Cowen gave the puck away behind the net, and by the time he got back out front the Penguins machine had zipped it from James Neal to Chris Kunitz to Evgeni Malkin, very nearly alone in front.
Cowen couldn't get there, and he dropped his stick in frustration after Malkin scored, and made a gesture like a teenager who had just accidentally let the family car roll into the lake.
The Senators carried play throughout the second, but the Penguins are a different team since going to Vokoun in net; he isn't bulletproof, but he isn't playoff punch-drunk, either. He has stopped 101 of the 105 shots he has faced since replacing Marc-André Fleury against the Islanders, for a save percentage of .962.
In related news, the Senators had nothing to show for the period when Cory Conacher was called for a hold with 2:03 left in the second, and a point shot rattled around and was tapped first by Jarome Iginla and then by Chris Kunitz, and the score was 3-1 after two. Pascal Dupuis knifed home a pretty short-handed goal midway through the third — his league-leading sixth of the playoffs — and other than a dustup with 30 seconds left, the rest was waiting for the buzzer.
"We only took three minor penalties in the game, and they took advantage of two of 'em," said Senators coach Paul MacLean. "On paper it's obviously pretty easy — two power-play goals and one short-handed, they win by three, and overall I think we did get better as the game went on, but we're going to have to be better than we were tonight to win some games."
If we had any kind of stage fright or youthful jitters, that should be behind us
It was a ceremonial sort of game, truth be told. In the first round, Crosby played nearly 22 minutes per game, and Malkin averaged just under 20 minutes; in Game 1 they played 17:04 and 15:56, respectively, and even those numbers included time on the cushy power play. The Islanders managed to scare Pittsburgh because they were fast and skilled and played like Visigoths attacking Rome. Ottawa will have to figure out something, which may involve a little more violence. Still, remember: Ottawa's injury problems were a plague, but Pittsburgh lost Crosby for 12 games, Malkin for 17 games, Kris Letang for 13 games, James Neal for eight games, Paul Martin for 14 games.
But they are whole now, and Ottawa is nearly whole, and the gap was apparent in Game 1. If Ottawa plans to be pesky — if they want to scare a Pittsburgh team that looks like it may have patched up its weakest point — there is plenty of work left to do.
"If we had any kind of stage fright or youthful jitters, that should be behind us," said MacLean. "And it's up to us to make it a series."

DELAFIELD, Wis. (Stockpickr) -- At Stockpickr, we track daily portfolios of stocks that are the biggest percentage gainers and the biggest percentage losers.
>>5 Hated Stocks You Should Love
Stocks that are making large moves like these are favorites among short-term traders because they can jump into these names and try to capture some of that massive volatility. Stocks that are making big-percentage moves either up or down are usually in play because their sector is becoming attractive or they have a major fundamental catalyst such as a recent earnings release. Sometimes stocks making big moves have been hit with an analyst upgrade or an analyst downgrade.
Regardless of the reason behind it, when a stock makes a large-percentage move, it is often just the start of a new major trend -- a trend that can lead to huge profits. If you time your trade correctly, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends, discipline and sound money management, you will be well on your way to investment success.
>>3 Stocks Rising on Big Volume
With that in mind, let's take a closer look at a several stocks under $10 that are making large moves to the upside.
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals (PPHM), a biopharmaceutical company, engages in the development of monoclonal antibodies focused on the treatment and diagnosis of cancer. This stock closed up 7.3% to $1.91 in Tuesday's trading session.
Tuesday's Range: $1.80-$1.92
52-Week Range: $1.11-$2.06
Tuesday's Volume: 4.86 million
Three-Month Average Volume: 3.05 million
From a technical perspective, PPHM soared higher here right above some near-term support at $1.77 with above-average volume. This move pushed shares of PPHM into breakout territory, since the stock took out some near-term overhead resistance at $1.90. Shares of PPHM are now quickly moving within range of triggering an even bigger breakout trade. That trade will hit if PPHM manages to take out Tuesday's high of $1.92 to its 52-week high at $2.06 with high volume.

President Morsi Ousts Egypt's Defense Minister, Rewrites Power Restrictions
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
GWEN IFILL: Finally tonight, Egypt's new president makes a surprise move to seize more political power and curb the authority of the military.
Margaret Warner has the story.
MARGARET WARNER: The news was cheered last night by supporters of president Mohammed Morsi, many of them fellow members of the Muslim Brotherhood, who rallied in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
AHMED HASSAN, Egypt (through translator): These are bold decisions that we have been waiting for, for so long. These decisions are to complete the revolution. The revolution started to succeed.
MARGARET WARNER: They were reacting to Morsi's surprise ouster of the country's top military brass, including powerful defense minister Hussein Tantawi. All were ordered to retire.
Morsi also nullified a constitutional declaration issued just before his election, shifting vast powers from the president to the military.
MOHAMMED MORSI, Egyptian president (through translator): Today's decisions are not directed at certain persons or meant to embarrass certain institutions.
MARGARET WARNER: His action comes on the heels of his sacking the nation's intelligence chief after 16 Egyptian soldiers were killed by militants in Sinai.
Tantawi, longtime defense minister under former President Hosni Mubarak, took part in forcing Mubarak's resignation early last year. And for 18 months after, he and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces ruled Egypt.

Schools and Homes in the UK - Day 1
Orientation begins
This morning began with a wonderful surprise - SUNSHINE! The forecast was for rain so it was great to wake up and see the sun shining when we opened the curtains in our room. A little bit of Arizona we brought to the UK!
We were up early - 7am (11pm in Arizona) so that we could get ready for our first day of orientation. Stephannie and I had a great breakfast at the hotel restaurant - buffet style with eggs, sausage, toast, etc - tomorrow we may venture to the omelet and waffle station. After we ate we took a brief walk around the grounds while we waited for our counsellor for the day - Susan. While I was taking pictures out from of the hotel, Susan found us and we headed off on our adventure for the day. Susan drives a hybrid car - the Toyota Prius - which is one of the cars Stephannie is interested - so that worked out great. Our objective for the day was to visit one of the schools and then look at several towns and properties around that school. We will repeat this process for the next 3 days.
Front of School
Our first appointment was with ACS - International School at Hillingdon. The school was about a 45 minute drive from our hotel but we got to see some of the towns and areas without going on the highway (they call it a motorway here). The entrance to the school has a welcome house with a guard and then we drove onto the grounds - an absolutely amazing place! The building the school is in was built in the 1800's as the Manor House for Lord Hillingdon. There have been several expansions as the school has grown. The grounds include acres and acres of grass, beautiful gardens, playing fields, and tennis courts. There is a separate music building which has it's own music lab and recording studio.
We met with the Assistant Dean of Admissions here and got a great tour of the entire school.
From here, we met back up with our guide, Susan, to continue on the house researching expedition. We were scheduled to see 7 homes today but many of the ones scheduled had been rented out since Friday when the schedule was made. Apparently the rental market moves very quickly and most good homes are gone within a week. The purpose of this trip is just to get a feel for what homes are like and know what areas and schools to focus our efforts on when we return with Hannah and Madisen in August.
The first home we saw was called "Oakdean." Many of the homes we visited didn't have addresses - just names - we found that very cool! This was a very large home, nicely decorated - in what we would call a "country" location. In looking at the map, we thought this area would be too far away from the school for daily commuting.
We grabbed a quick lunch with Susan at a brasserie; we all had burgers (no buns, though!) Our next stop was our favorite house of the day, even though the location probably wouldn't have worked for us anyway. It was a house called Bigfrith End; built roughly 100 years ago, it was LOADED with character. 7 bedrooms - and the gardens were amazing - 2 acres of beautiful English gardens, complete with pond and sundial.
We looked at a couple more homes closer to the school and we could certainly appreciate that the quality / size of the homes get less as you move closer to London. In the end I'm sure it will be a trade off but we both feel confident that we can find something that will be wonderful for us to live in while we are here.
After our day with Susan, we returned to the hotel for a quick "freshen up" and then headed out to the Cytyc UK office in Crawley. Stephannie and I met up with the UK team for a quick tour of the new facilities and then had dinner at the Blue India. It was a long day but I'm glad we had a chance to meet up with everyone. Our taxi picked us up at the restaurant around 10:30 and we made it back to the hotel. Tomorrow begins with another school tour and several homes to view - promises to be another full day!

Knowles Set to Join Wrestling Program after Signing National Letter of Intent
"Nick comes from one of the most successful programs in the state of California. There are over 800 wrestling program in the state of California with only one state tournament," commented Castro. "Coming out of that state as a place winner is a noteworthy accomplishment."
Knowles is a four-year letterwinner from Calvary Chapel High School in Costa Mesa, Calif., where he posted a 113-44 record (72.0 winning percentage).
Knowles started his high school varsity career by recording an 18-20 record as a freshman, followed by a 20-10 mark during his sophomore campaign.
During his final two seasons of high school competition, Knowles won nearly 85 percent of the times he took to the mats, starting with a 36-8 mark as a junior, capped off by a career-high win total with a 39-6 record as a senior.
As a senior, Knowles placed third at the prestigious Reno Tournament of Champions and fourth at the Five Counties Invitational, a tournament which featured the top teams from California, Nevada and Florida.
Knowles concludes his final year at Calvary Chapel by becoming a CIF champion, a Southern Section Masters sectional champion and a fourth-place finisher at the California state tournament.
"I competed for a Christian high school and before I heard about Liberty, I always wondered why there weren't any Christian Division I wrestling programs," stated Knowles. "I really wanted to continue my wrestling career and education at a place where I could be continuously growing in the Lord. I was so excited to see a young team use their gifts from God to glorify His name."
