The Mud Claw Extreme M/T is an authentic off-road traction tire for any 4X4. It has many of the characteristics of more expensive premium brand M/T style off-road tires, and receives good reviews from off-road enthusiasts:
- Large center lugs for pulling power in mud and loose dirt
- Staggered shoulder blocks that are pinned for studs for improved winter traction
- Reinforced casing that protects the sidewall from off-road obstacles like sharp rocks.
- Chip resistant tread compound
- Remarkably quiet on the highway considering the aggressive tread pattern
This describes the sidewall appearance. Examples include Black Sidewall, White Sidewall, and White Letters.
|Load Index
|Not Available
The load index (LI) is a 2 or 3 digit number that corrolates to the maximum amount of weight the tire can carry. For example, a tire with a load index of 87 indicates that the tire can carry a maximim load of 1,201 lbs. In the case of our example the 87 identifies the tires ability to carry a maximum of 1,201 lbs. So 4 tires will carry a maximum of 4,804 lbs. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the recommended minimim Load Index. It is not recommended to install tires with a lower Load Index. By doing so, this could cause your tires to be overloaded thus potentially causing a blowout.
|Speed Rating
Speed Ratings (SR) are based on laboratory tests and indicates the maximum speed the tire can achieve. These tests are based on limited time trials. Higher speed rating tires typically will yield better handling capabilities, but may often result in lower mileage. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the recommended minimum Speed Rating. It is not recommended to install a tire with a lower speed rating as it could affect the handling of your vehicle. It is important to note that speed ratings only apply to tires that have not been damaged, altered, under-inflated or overloaded. Additionally, most tire manufacturers maintain that a tire that has been cut or punctured no longer retains the tire manufacturer's original speed rating, even after being repaired because the tire manufacturer can't control the quality of the repair.
|Ply Rating
Ply Rating is related to the max load capacity. This value can be defined with a letter or number. The higher the number/letter, the higher the load capacity.
|Not Available
To help consumers evaluate their tires, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) created the Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQG). The UTQG rates tires are rated on their tread-wear, traction performance, and temperature resistance. The grade for each of these can be found on the sidewall of your tire (except for winter tires and certain light truck tires). Click here for more information.
|Max Single Load(lbs)
|The maximum load this tire will support. Remember to multiply this number by the number of tires installed on your vehicle to get the maximum carrying capacity. This number is directly related to the Load Index.
|Max Single Air Pressure(PSI)
|The maximum air pressure this tire will support. This does not represent the amount of air pressure your tires should have at all times. Consult with your owner's manual to determine the best air pressure you should use for your vehicle.
|Tread Depth
|The amount of tread on the tire. Once the tire is worn to 2/32nds, it is considered fully used and should be replaced at that time. Most tires will have tire indicators in the grooves of the tire to help you determine when the tires are worn down to 2/32nds.
|Tread Design
|Not Available
Nondirectional - most common, same tread pattern on inside & outside of the tire. Can be rotated to all four corners of vehicle. Asymmetrical - tread pattern is different on the inside to the outside of the tire, and must be mounted properly. Can be rotated to all four corners of the vehicle. Directional tires - roll in only one direction, must be mounted properly. Once mounted they must remain on the same side of the vehicle, and only be rotated front to rear.
|Rim Width Range
|The approved wheel rim width range this tire will support.
|Measured Rim Width
|The recommended wheel width as recommended by the tire manufacturer to get the best wear us performance for this tire.
|Section Width
|The measurement from sidewall to sidewall.
|Tread Width
|Not Available
|The measurement from one side of the tread to the other side of the tread.
|Overall Diameter
|The height of the tire when fully inflated.
|Manufacturer Part Number
|Manufacturer part number (sku)

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- If you're in the market to make a purchase -- whether it's clothing, a bicycle or even electronics -- there is an ideal time of the year to buy to ensure you get the best deal. We polled the experts to find which items are best to buy right now. 1. Winter clothes During the middle of winter, chances are you already have the outerwear you need for the rest of the season. But if you think you'll need a new coat for next year's winter, the time to make this purchase is now. "In February, retailers still have substantial stock on their shelves -- both online and in store. However, now the stores will clear the winter clothes to make room for the upcoming spring inventory," said Jon Lal, founder of BeFrugal.com. To move the inventory and clear the shelves faster, stores use February as a time to offer discounts. 2. Electronics February is also prime time to make that big-ticket electronic purchase. "For plenty of consumer electronics, the product cycle runs around the Consumer Electronics Show in January, and availability of those new products is in the months following. As a result, retailers need to clear out the current inventory to make room for the new items," Lal says. As with outerwear, the electronics sitting on the shelves now will need to be discounted to make room for items from CES. 3. Furniture Whether you're furnishing a new home or just one room, this is undoubtedly a major expense. Making this purchase in February is bound to save you some money. "Furniture manufacturers tend to roll out new designs in the spring. In February the retailers will be making room for newer models, hence why we'll see more deals," Lal says. 4. Spa treatments On Super Bowl Sunday, more than 100 million people will be glued to their televisions watching the game. If that's not up your alley, think about some Super Bowl alternative activities, such as heading to the spa. "It's a slow day for spas, so they'll offer an incentive or bargain. Simply call up the spa and see if there are any discounts for the day as a way to attract more customers," says Jeanette Pavini, a Coupons.com savings expert.

As Delivered
Good afternoon! Welcome to off-Broadway! I think we're hoping this afternoon earns USAID a Tony, so we're going to aim high.
It is wonderful to look out and see an audience of young people and leaders from all parts of society who are committing their skills, ideas, and talents to do something extraordinary: ending extreme poverty in the next two decades.
I am always struck by the depth of engagement and passion I see when I am on college campuses in particular, where I feel like everyone wants an internship opportunity or wants to do a science project related to some aspect of our mission somewhere around the world.
I'd like to welcome our colleagues from across the government who have lent their expertise and support to make this day possible. Certainly the USAID team, which is too big and well represented here to mention by name, but would USAID folks just put your hands in the air? Congratulations, and I am so proud of you.
I'd like to thank Daniel Yohannes, Deputy Secretary Higgenbottom, Doug Carey, Hillary Chen, and so many others who are representing our Washington colleagues here in New York today.
I want to especially recognize our cornerstone partners. We are embarking on this endeavor with 32 outstanding partners—people like Mike Fernandez of Cargill, Jay Collins of Citi, Jeff Seabright of Coca-Cola, Kathleen McLaughlin of Walmart, Sharon D'Agostino of J&J, Jim Borel of DuPont. Those of you in the corporate sector that are dedicating your time and energy to help this succeed makes all the different, and we're really very, very grateful.
We also our trusted, closely-held partners from NGOs, like CARE, Helene Gayle is here, Save the Children, Carolyn Miles, Sean Callahan, CRS, and so many other great institutions. We even have Charlotte Petri-Gornitzka from Sweden, who is a critical launch partner for this effort and so many of our great American and international universities represented. I want to welcome you.
There are a number of special advisers, people like Dick Blum, who have helped us craft this concept. Jack Leslie who leads our ACVFA board. Paul Maritz and Jim Watson who are taking on new responsibilities to advise us as we go forward.
For all of us together, I will just say it is inspiring and truly special to see you all embrace President Obama's historic call, issued now twice in States of the Union addresses, to end extreme poverty within two decades.
Across the decades, Presidents from both political parties have led our nation to new heights of leadership in global development.
Not because it was easy—or safe—and I can tell you, because they have all told me, they certainly don't do this because it polls well.
They do this because they know that America is at our best, America is strongest, when we lead around the world with our values—and when we demonstrate that we can effectively bring more prosperity and security to the most vulnerable parts of our world.
They do this because they know that America represents an unparalleled legacy of innovation, technology and advancement, not just to our own people but to aspiring people all around the world that look to America as representing something special.
This vision—of innovation, science, technology, has guided us for over 50 years at USAID, but today it takes on new meaning.
Because today exciting technologies made available by important new partnerships are emerging to redefine what we can achieve together.
We can end extreme poverty for the 1.1 billion people who still live on a dollar-and-a-quarter a day.
We can end hunger for the 860 million people who will go to sleep hungry tonight.
And we can end the outrage of unnecessary child death for the 6.6 million children who will die this year before ever celebrating their 5th birthday.
But we simply cannot do this way alone.
The only way we'll get there—the only way—is by mobilizing the energy and ingenuity of a new generation of students, inventors, and entrepreneurs to bend the curve of progress.
And that is why I am so proud to announce the launch of the U.S. Global Development Lab—a bold new collaboration with 32 cornerstone partners to develop, test, and take to scale groundbreaking solutions to help end extreme poverty.
Modeled on some of the most innovative and technologically advanced centers for discovery across the country, the Lab will serve to connect our world's brightest minds to our toughest and most meaningful challenges.
Today, good ideas aren't just the privilege of an elite few, but actually belong to everyone anywhere with a phone in their pocket.
To focus the efforts of this talented community, we have outlined nine core areas where science, technology, and innovation can drive development forward—from improving child literacy to advancing human rights to expanding financial inclusion through digital services.
We are already working across these areas with a renewed sense of shared purpose and possibility—as the world's most enterprising students and entrepreneurs are already pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
In fact, many of them are here in this room with us today.
This afternoon, you'll hear DevTalk presentations from world-class innovators, whose passion for service led them to tackle age-old problems in new and interesting ways.
To help build the ranks of these talented development leaders, we are proud to announce the first-ever class of 62 USAID Research and Innovation Fellows, who will deploy to more than 50 institutions across the world and examine everything from climate data in the Sahel to the impact of pathogens on child nutrition in South Africa.
A few of the Fellows are here today, and I encourage you to join them after this event in a workshop with the wonderful Dr. Amy Smith from MIT's D-Lab, who is going to demonstrate what it takes to "design for development" and give you an opportunity to put your problem-solving skills to the test as you help build an inflatable light. I am going to give that a shot myself.
You know, a few weeks ago I visited Nepal, a country whose exquisite natural beauty is only surpassed by its gut-wrenching poverty. In a country with such tremendous potential, one in every 22 infants still dies before she even turns 1.
But after conducting a randomized control trial, we discovered a medical gel called chlorhexidine cuts the risk of infant death by 23 percent and can save 1,500 lives in Nepal this year alone—for pennies per dose.
In the last few years, we worked with a local pharmaceutical company in Nepal, another in India, and yet another one in Nigeria—and as a result, we're helping save infants born into some of world's most desperate, poor, and vulnerable communities.
With support from the Lab, we will ensure that this story—of solutions rigorously tested and applied on a transformational scale—increasingly defines how America works around the world.
As we do, our students will have greater opportunities to develop math and science skills—and lend those skills in service of mission bigger and greater than themselves.
Our entrepreneurs will form connections in the markets of the future.
And all of us will be inspired by the contributions we can each bring to the task of ending extreme poverty.
Thank you.

"Obviously, we know what Landon has done for U.S. Soccer these last 10, 12 years, and all the qualities that he has. But since about 14 or 16 months, he's struggling with injuries and he's
struggling with inner motivation. He brings it out in that interview, which I think is quite courageous of him. It's his call. It's his life. It's his career."

GAVIN Rees is focused on winning a world title in 2012, but first he needs to beat a man developing a fatal attraction towards him.
Rees, 31, defends his European title this Saturday in Sheffield against Liverpool's Derry Mathews in a grudge rematch.
The pair clashed in 2011but the fight was waved off in the fourth session after Mathews suffered a cut nose, resulting in the first draw of Rees' professional career.
It had appeared Rees would move onwards and upwards from that fight but, after he thrillingly won the British title from Anthony Crolla, Mathews has put himself back in the picture.
Training in Scotland and living in a one-bedroom bedsit without a television, Mathews is thinking about Rees morning, noon and night as he bids to take the Newbridge punchers' title.
"People think I'm in a luxury apartment but I'm in a basic flat with no telly," he said.
"I've got to knuckle down and do it the hard way.
"When I first went up to Scotland I said to Danny (Vaughan, trainer) that I would book myself in a hotel for 10 weeks.
"He said 'you won't. You're doing it my way'. He wants me to live the hard way, I've got no telly and the only telly I've got to watch is when I call in to his and we're watching Gavin Rees."
Mathews insists that he's never been more motivated for a fight than for this one.
"I'm hungrier than for the Crolla fight," he said.
"I've enjoyed the publicity that has come from the Crolla fight and what has come from it. So I know beating Gavin Rees will keep that going.
"That's why I'm hungry for it, I'm starving to be honest.
"That is what is making me more determined going into the gym and I already feel fitter because I've come off a good fight with Crolla."
Mathews believes the public are keen to see the long-awaited rematch.
"Rees is a massive fight," Mathews told World Boxing News.
"I took the Rees fight because I like testing myself. I could have fought anyone in the top ten but I would be kidding the public.
"This game is about taking chances and fighting the best and that's what I have always done."
Rees' trainer Gary Lockett insists his camp have done nowhere near the same level of obsessing.
"We know all about Derry, we respect him and his ability and he's coming off the back of an excellent win over Crolla," he said.
"But ultimately he should be more worried about Gavin because Gavin is a class above Derry.
"We are confident, training has gone very well and Gavin is ready to get that 'W' after the frustration of what happened last time out."

Scrogham enjoys his human clients at Grate Lengths Hair & Nail Artistry, while Young delights in her canine and feline patrons at Miss Emily's Pet Salon.
An independent contractor who rents salon space, Scrogham's first career choice was to be a teacher.
"According to my high school guidance counselor, however, I would not be likely to find a job upon graduating because of the glut of teachers back then," said Scrogham, a hairdresser / hair colorist and part-time color educator for Framesi. "I took a couple semesters of accounting thinking that might be my life's calling, only to discover that it wasn't."
"I had started working for Maloley's grocery store when I was 16 years old and worked there through high school, and the two semesters at International Business College," he said. "I turned full time for a year after IBC and decided I needed something a little more gratifying than stocking shelves, so my hairdresser, Nancy, who was cutting my hair, suggested that I try hairdressing — and here I am, nearly 36 years later, and still loving it!"
According to Carolyn Grate, Scrogham's presence has added value to her business.
"Having Michael in our salon has truly made it more joyful," said Grate, who co-owns the salon with her hairdresser husband, Glen.
"He always has a smile and kind words for our guests," she said. "Michael's mischief can get him into trouble with the 'girls' now and then; however, his professionalism and talent as a hair designer are second to none."Young, a passionate animal lover since age 5, grew up with Cagney and Lacey, two golden retrievers. Now the owner of two female pit bulls, Maze and Ayla, she dedicates her time to the critters that patronize the salon.
"Most of my clients are dogs and cats, but I also have done nail trims on rabbits and guinea pigs," said Young, who previously worked at a veterinarian's office.
"My mother, Penny Swope, and I are the only employees as of right now, but we are currently looking for another groomer," she said. "We just have to make sure we find someone who is going to give the customers' pets the same loving treatment we strive to have in our business.
"I'm usually not able to take walk-ins because I offer a hands-on, limited-stress grooming; I don't use any kennels or kennel dryers – just hand-held velocity dryers," she said. "All appointments are made ahead of time, and the animals picked up as soon as they are done. My appointments book up about one to two weeks out."
The Bishop Dwenger graduate, whose spa opened last August, has been grooming dogs since 2004. Her father's human grooming didn't influence her career choice.
Are there any special challenges when pet grooming?
"Cats, usually they prefer to lie down, so sometimes you have to roll them from one side to the other to complete the grooming," said Young, who offers a full-service experience for her four-legged clientele, including ear cleaning, massages, brushing teeth and gland expression.Because her sister "highly recommended" Scrogham as a stylist, Barb Slyford has been a "very satisfied" patron of his for more than 20 years. Two years ago, she began taking her yellow lab to Young at Scrogham's referral.
"I needed a groomer who would be able to take care of an elderly canine that could not be caged," said Slyford, "and Emily is so caring toward my dog that I truly cannot say enough about her."
Both Scrogham and Young get tremendous satisfaction from their customers, according to the former.
"The highest compliment for me is repeat clients and their referrals of family members and friends," said Scrogham, "and I have some clients who have been with me throughout my whole career. That is a huge compliment."
The majority of Young's customers also come from word of mouth, but she additionally gets many patrons who are driving by and notice her sign.
"I treat my four-legged customers just like they are my own, and especially enjoy it when they are excited to see me and can't wait to give me kisses!" said Young, laughing.
"We both love our clients," said Scrogham, "and while I have verbal contact with my guests, Emily has wagging tails and happy eyes. She's very good at her business, and I hope people think that I am good at what I do.
"However, the difference between Emily and me is that my clients rarely scratch or bite," he joked.

New Liposomes for Delivery of Cancer Treatments
Reference Number: K 10-22
Inventors: Bossmann, Stefan; Troyer, Deryl; Basel, Matt; Shrestha, Tej
Owner: Kansas State University Research Foundation
USPTO Link:
Invention Summary
Researchers at Kansas State University have successfully created more effective liposomes with better encapsulation, targeting and delivery capabilities through protease sensitive copolymer encapsulation for delivery of anti-cancer therapeutics. Their selective liposomes have a covalently bound polymer cage, which prevents premature leakage of contents, in combination with cholesterol-derived protease sensitivity. Studies indicate that this new technology may potentially have an exponentially longer shelf-life, will allow for specific targeting of cancer cells, as well as other malignant cells, and rapid delivery of all contents within the liposome upon contact with cancer-specific proteases. Since the proteases that activate the release of the liposomes' contents only exist in the presence of cancer cells, very little if any immune response should occur nor will cancer cells have time to build up defense to the killing agent.
Of the numerous cancer treatment techniques, liposome drug delivery has been at the forefront of discussion over the past decade, due to its versatility and ability to deliver drugs for not only cancer treatment, but also treatment of other diseases or ailments. However, despite great promise, the use of liposomes in treating cancer has been severely limited by their short shelf-life, inability to contain cancer-killing agents without leaking, and lack of mechanisms to release all contents rapidly upon contact with cancer cells.
Potential Advantages of this New Delivery Method
- Typical liposome shelf-life is 1-2 weeks, whereas these liposomes may last 3-12 months
- The protease sensitive polymer cage prevents leakage and increases selectivity
- High sensitivity to cancer-proteases allows liposome contents to be released rapidly
- These liposomes can be used to target cancer and other diseases
- Costs will be similar to pre-existing, less effective analogues
- Treatment of cancerous tumors or other concentrated malignant cells
- Targeted treatment of other diseases or conditions that involve signature proteins or cells that can be "painted" and attacked
- Extended shelf-life would allow for storage and shipment, potentially opening new global markets

My Boomerang Won't Come Back!Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I'm made of wood, but I'm not a tree. I'm used specifically to throw things; but of course, I'm mainly used to find food, although I can be used to fight my foes.
I throw stone and wood, all at the same time. My aim is to reap either food or territories.
What am I?
AnswerA Woomera
A woomera is an Aboriginal spear-throwing device. It is made of wood and is used as a spear thrower, but has a sharp flake of stone attached to the end onto which the spear is attached. It can be used as a hunting tool, or else in war with neighbouring tribes. The "stone and wood" the woomera throws is, of course, the spear. The length is made of wood, whilst the point is made from stone.

Incoming/Campus Mail
There is a slot available to deposit mail, inter-campus mail, or printing requests when the windows are closed. This box is checked quite frequently during the day and processed.
Package delivery and tracking
The Mail Center makes all efforts to ensure that mail is delivered to its intended recipient. We do track and require signatures for packages that are sent with some sort of delivery confirmation. Other packages, such as those sent via US Postal Service's Parcel Post of Media Mail, are sent at the risk of the sender and recipient. Many retailers and sellers on services such as eBay® will by default use delivery methods that do not verify delivery. Also we often see important packages such as prescription medicine sent to students from parents via this method. The Mail Center does not track and is not responsible for any lost packages sent via a carrier or service that does not use a delivery confirmation. Students should consider this when requesting items be sent to them at the University.
It is important that packages sent to students be properly addressed. To ensure timely delivery of a package, it should be addressed in several places on the package. Our procedures for identifying package recipients are located here.

Yale Rep and New Dramatists will produce the third invited workshop of the musical LEMPICKA about the tumultuous life of art deco artist Tamara di Lempicka this Friday. Lisa Brescia (Wicked) plays the larger than life artist.
LEMPICKA has book and lyrics by New Dramatists resident Carson Kreitzer (The Love Song of J. Robert Oppenheimer) and music by 2012 Richard Rodgers Award Winner Matt Gould (Witness Uganda and Twilight in Manchego).
MarK Wing-Davey (Mad Forest) will direct the reading that will have musical direction by Ian Axness, assistant music direction by Greg Kenna and stage management by Catherine Costanzo.
The cast will include James Barbour (A Tale of Two Cities), Natalie Belcon (Avenue Q), Gabrielle Stravelli, Dashiell Eaves (A Beheading in Spokane), Michael Pemberton (The Farnsworth Invention), Izzy Hanson-Johnston (Billy Elliot), Nicolette Robinson (Perfect Couples), Rhyn McLemore (The Last Scene), Bjorn Thorstad, Philip Callen, Kevin Massey (Memphis), Michael Rose (Wicked), Charl Brown (Sister Act), Erin Bennett, and Mariand Torres (Wicked).

Not that you have shown.santa100 wrote: Thus it's obvious that the scope of the AN excerpt is the "superset" to that of the SN excerpt.
The SN is still open ended, not limited, which put it out there with "whatever in the cosmos."Obviously it did not have "whatever in the cosmos". It's specifically "beings and persons", regardless of whether in the unlimited or limted sense, but that's still it.

Yes, indeed, and none of that is bodhi as the Buddha uses the term in relation to himself and the attainment of the arahants.Dmytro wrote:Hi Mike,mikenz66 wrote:The "omniscience" (whatever that means, exactly) and various teaching skills spelled out in the stuttas (which seem to me to be connected with the "omniscience") are the distinctions between an Arahant and a Buddha?
The main distinction is that the Buddha opens up the forgotten path.
Other distinctions are omniscience (in the Buddhist sense), teaching skills, and other faculties, explained more fully in Patisambhidamagga.
Because he makes known the path to the awakening, bodhi, he attained through the power he cultivated, and that bodhi the Buddha attained, that nibbana, that cessation is no different from that attained bodhi by the arahants:That's why his attainment is called Samma-sambodhi.
tiltbillings wrote:It is mind reading, not omniscience.
Dhammanando wrote:Well, the commentarial view is that all knowable things are potentially accessible to [the Buddha's understanding, paññā], but that they are not all simultaneously accessible. We haven't yet got around to the question of what is meant by a knowable thing, but this too is an important qualification, for nowhere is it asserted that all things are knowable things. And so the Buddha's "omniscience" as the commentators understand it, is far from being the Allah-like or Jehovah-like omniscience that some Mahayana Buddhists posit. For example, there must be at least some future things that are not knowable things, since for all future things to be knowable would require all future things to be predetermined, which would conflict with the Buddha's rejection of fatalism.

daverupa wrote:(No. 8 in that link, for example, is utterly problematic.)
daverupa wrote:...which is exactly what's been mentioned repeatedly... the assertion requires commentarial referents, and otherwise has nothing to do with the degree of freedom from the asavas.
It is what the text clearly describes.Ñāṇa wrote:tiltbillings wrote:It is mind reading, not omniscience.
And how do you know this?
I know, and I am not contesting that.The Theravāda tradition maintains that it's referring to omniscience.
You have not shown that to be the case. And certainly you have not supported that with direct quotes from the suttas, which is what I am talking about, not the later sectarian stuff.The Theravāda tradition also commonly explains that omniscience is one of the definitions of the term bodhi.
I am not rejecting anything. I am simply pointing to what the suttas say and how the term bodhi is used by the Buddha as he relates it to himself AND the arahants in the suttas. That after the death of the Buddha there was movement in how the Buddha was to be understood is well know and is certainly demonstrable even using tradition texts such as the Kathavatthu, which addresses these movements. And in this the Theravada was certainly not exempt from valorizing the Buddha, drawing a separation between the Buddha and the arahants that was not there in the suttas.Moreover, all Buddhist traditions maintain that the Buddha was omniscient and that this is one of the qualities that differentiates a Buddha's awakening from that of an arahant disciple. You're attempting to reject a foundational Buddhist tenet that's well over 2000 years old, considered important enough to be included in the Pāli canon,
That's nice; however, it really does not address the point I have raised.as well as in Ven. Walpola Rahula's Basic Points Unifying the Theravāda and the Mahāyāna which was unanimously approved at the First Congress of the World Buddhist Sangha Council.
However, it seems that from a Theravadin point of view concerning the question of bodhi, a bodhisatta cannot attain bodhi until the moment of his full awakening. So, what is being developed up until the time of full awakening actually is not bodhi, but it certainly the requisites for the attainment of bodhi.Ñāṇa wrote:A mahābodhisatta is concerned with the long term development of the pāramīs in order to realize sammāsambodhi, not the elimination of the āsavas during this dispensation.
I am not going to convince you, nor you me; however, that is really beside my point: The bodhi attained by the Buddha is no different from that attained by the arahants.santa100 wrote: . . .
So, there are two bodhis?santa100 wrote:Tiltbillings wrote:
"I am not going to convince you, nor you me; however, that is really beside my point: The bodhi attained by the Buddha is no different from that attained by the arahants"
Of course, it's not part of my intention to begin with, and that's also beside my point: The arahants and the Buddha attained bodhi, the Buddha went the extra miles and attained samma-sambodhi..

Other than a little volatility on the Fed's interest rate policy, it was another very slow week of trading as we wait for news on the fiscal cliff problem. Nothing has changed in that regard. There were a few meetings, some name-calling, but no progress.
The market is still optimistic that a deal will be made, but it is growing weary and impatient; we saw the consequences of that today as the market stumbled around with a negative bias. Apple (AAPL) was the primary villain, but it was just another lifeless day with limited trading opportunities.
My big concern is that if there isn't any progress on a fiscal cliff deal by the end of next week, more market players will grow nervous and head for the exits. Although some economists say we won't suffer any real consequences if a deal isn't made until January, I don't believe the market is going to be very happy about the uncertainty.
I still feel there is a good chance we'll see some sort of agreement, but I'm just treading water in this market with a few small trades and a big cash position. My main goal is to be ready when conditions change, which is sure to occur fairly soon.
Have a great weekend. I'll see you on Monday.

If you haven't yet read Born to Run, what are you waiting for? It's a perfect blend of good writing and running adventure that should fit right into your summer reading list. If you have read Born to Run, what did you take away from it? An overwhelming desire to run trails? An urge to try barefoot running? A newfound interest in anthropology? A secret crush on ultrarunning wild child Jenn Shelton? My own response was a little different, and to understand it you first have to realize that everything I read makes me hungry.
This happens even when a book isn't primarily about food. When I read The Sun Also Rises, I wanted to drink wine out of a goatskin bag. Moby Dick gave me constant cravings for seafood. The Grapes of Wrath made me ravenous for...anything, anything at all. So in spite of the rollicking, and sometimes dangerous, adventures of Caballo Blanco's motley collection of ultramarathoners, what stuck in my brain were passages like this:
I found the rest of the crew in a little restaurant down the block from the bus stop, loading up on bean and chicken burritos.
and this:
Soon, platters were being handed around of guacamole, frijoles, sliced cactus and tomatoes doused in tangy vinegar, Spanish rice, and a fragrant beef stew thickened with chicken liver.
and this:
Clarita served up big plates of huevos rancheros, the fried eggs smothered in homemade salsa and freshly chopped cilantro and sitting atop thick, hand-patted tortillas.
and my personal favorite:
…she turned out mountains of food for all of Caballo's runners: stewed chicken and goat, batter-fried river fish, grilled beef, refried beans and guacamole, and minty, tangy salsas, all garnished with sweet limes and chili oil and fresh cilantro. For breakfast, she served eggs scrambled with goat cheese and sweet peppers, and on the side heaping bowls of pinole and flapjacks that tasted so much like pound cake, I volunteered to apprentice in her kitchen one morning to learn the secret recipe.
Even when Christopher McDougall veers away from his running-with-the-Tarahumaras storyline and into the world of science, you get reminders:
As an evolutionary anthropologist, he knew that nothing on our bodies has changed as much as the shape of our skulls, or says more about who we are. Even your breakfast burrito plays a role; Lieberman's investigations had revealed that as our diet shifted over the centuries from chewy stuff like raw roots and wild game and gave way to mushy cooked staples like spaghetti and ground beef, our faces began to shrink.
It should be no surprise that, as soon as I read Born to Run, I began craving steaming tortillas filled with beans, rice, chorizo, or whatever on my long runs. Fortunately, I live in just the right place for it. We're spoiled here in Southern California; when my son comes home from college in New York City he complains that the one thing he can't find there is good Mexican food. So anyway, one day, as I returned from a lengthy Saturday morning run, with my face shrinking rapidly, I realized that my usual breakfast of omelette, fruit and toast just wouldn't do. Fortunately, I remembered that this place was right on the way home:
Needless to say, it tasted perfect--and because I didn't have to make it, I was able to consume it within that ideal 30-minute window for glycogen replenishment. The next week I tried it again, just to see if the magic was still there. Mmmmmmm...nomnomnom. So in the spirit of all those inspired scientists in McDougall's book, I reported my findings to Running Buddy Mark. Would he be interested in joining me for a post-run breakfast burrito? In no time, he was hooked:
The proprietor of Burrito Express knows us now, since we come around like clockwork every Saturday at around 10. He knows that we take our coffee black and that we like mild sauce on our breakfast burritos. Running Buddy Mark always opts for chicken, and can down two of them during periods of heavy training. I fill up after one, since I'm not exactly an ultrarunner yet.
Normally we do our Saturday workouts at the Rose Bowl, which is such a good launching point that it's home base for groups like the Pasadena Pacers, Club 26.2 and Team in Training, not to mention high school cross country teams and all sorts of individuals of varying speeds. But sometimes you need a change of pace. So a few weeks ago, when Running Buddy Mark was out of town on business, I drove 15 minutes down the freeway to L.A.'s Griffith Park. With its dirt trails, Griffith Park is the same kind of running mecca as the Rose Bowl. And after a 12-miler I noticed that just across the road from the parking lot, in the front courtyard of the Gene Autry Museum, there was a Farmer's Market going on. Curious, I grabbed my money and crossed the road and there, amid all of the produce vendors, was a stand where they made (you'll never guess) mountainous burritos filled with rice, beans and fresh veggies! It was the gut-bomb of my dreams, and it was right there at the end of my run!
Naturally, I told Running Buddy Mark, so we went back to Griffith Park a couple of weeks later and partook of burritos and freshly-squeezed orange juice, sitting at a shady table while a bootcamp took place on a nearby lawn and live jazz guitar entertained us a few yards away. This is what Saturdays should always be like. Now, no matter where we run, we have the perfect meal waiting nearby. And if I could just run like a Tarahumara, I'd really be in business.

Pearce still bothered by abdominal strain
BALTIMORE -- Four days after exiting Friday's win over the Twins with an abdominal injury, Steve Pearce still hasn't swung a bat, and his return for the O's three-game series against the Reds at Oriole Park at Camden Yards is unlikely. At this point, Pearce is looking this weekend's upcoming series vs. the Rays for a possible return.
"I think it'd probably be more realistic that I'll be ready for Tampa," Pearce said, "because right now, I'm shut down for everything."
Pearce left before the fourth inning against Minnesota with a right abdominal strain, with an MRI confirming the injury the following morning. He has been shut down from all baseball activities since the injury, relegated to just playing catch in order to keep his arm strong.
Pearce said he only feels pain in his abdomen when he swings a bat, which he hasn't done since sustaining the injury. So he's been totally pain-free for the past few days.
"It's funny, I feel like maybe I should take some swings to see if I still feel it, so I'm really kind of confused on how all this works," Pearce said. "But I'm confident that they know what they're talking about. I'd rather get this thing behind me, instead of have symptoms in a couple weeks."
Manager Buck Showalter said on Monday that he expected Pearce to have a "test run" during this series against Cincinnati, and he still isn't ruling out some playing time for his surprising slugger. Starting, though, is still a little a bit further away.
"There's some things I want him to get through before he does that," Showalter said, "but we could use him if we had to."
Pearce is in the midst of a breakout season, with career highs of 16 home runs and a .289 batting average entering Tuesday. He had become Baltimore's everyday first baseman when Manny Machado's season-ending injury forced Chris Davis to slide over to third. Before that, he received regular playing time in left field and at first base.
In Pearce's absence, Davis has moved back to first and Jimmy Paredes has gotten the majority of the starts across the diamond. The O's took three of four from the Twins without Pearce, and with an 8 1/2-game lead in the American League East, the Orioles can afford to be cautious with Pearce.
"This is the hardest thing ever," Pearce said. "Being here watching the guys, not being able to work out, hit and doing all that stuff is kind of hard for me to sit back -- especially since I don't have any pain and I feel like I can do it. But they just want me to really let this thing calm down."

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Florida health officials said Monday they will assign care coordinators to about 1,600 children with disabilities amid allegations from federal health officials that the state was cutting in-home services and essentially forcing kids into adult nursing homes.
An individual care coordinator will work with no more than 40 disabled children at a time who are receiving in-home nursing services and ensure they have continued access to those services. The Agency for Health Care Administration said it will begin the transition within 90 days. Many of the children require ventilators, feeding tubes and other machinery that is too complicated for parents to monitor.
The changes come several months after federal health officials threatened to sue the state and accused it of violating federal law by allowing more than 200 children with disabilities and even babies to be kept in nursing homes, often for years.
Federal regulators say children languish in facilities, sharing common areas with elderly patients and having few interactions with others, rarely leaving the nursing homes or going outside. After visiting children in six nursing homes, investigators noted the children are not exposed to social, educational and recreational activities that are critical to child development. Educational opportunities are limited to as little as 45 minutes a day, according to a detailed letter from U.S. Department of Justice officials last year.
A lawsuit filed in South Florida federal court on behalf of more than a dozen children last year echoes similar complaints, alleging more than 3,300 children with disabilities are at risk of being pushed into adult nursing homes because the state is slashing nursing and other services that would otherwise keep them at home with their families.
State officials said they have travelled the state meeting with children in the homes and have repeatedly stressed that all the medically necessary services are being provided, but parents and doctors often disagree with the agency over what services are considered medically necessary.
Critics said the state has already been using the care coordination model and that it's primarily designed to control costs. The state still hasn't decided how much they will defer to children's doctors when deciding what services to pay for, said Matthew Dietz, an attorney for the plaintiffs.
However, he said the policy change is a step in the right direction.
"The state of Florida has admitted that there is a problem, and that this problem needs to be fixed. Unfortunately, rather than welcoming all of the stakeholders, including the many children we represent, and the putative class of all kids with disabilities, and the federal government, AHCA has ignored them and again decided that it knows what is best for these families with children with disabilities," he said.
Officials said in a statement that the "changes clarify misunderstanding of its current policies and exemplify the agency's existing commitment to ensuring that children in Florida promptly receive Medicaid services in the most integrated setting appropriate to meet their needs."

L'Oréal Paris Extra-Volume Hydra Collagen Plumping Mascara Reviews
Definitely Voumizing.This mascara definitely gives you volume and a nice plump. But does little for length and clumps a lot. It is also hard to take off. I had a hard time trying to keep it on my eye lashes, because I have oily eyelids and I found myself having to clean the area under my eyes constantly. I think it's a good enough mascara, but not for me. I am more into trying for the length. — 5 years, 4 months agoyestfl | 239 reviews

Best mascara ever!I have tried lots and lots of mascaras (including high-end ones), and this one is absolutely fantastic. Creates great volume and length fast and easy, doesn't clump. I find it's big full brush very convenient. Lasts really well in different weather conditions, never had it flake or smudge, stays put until I take it off (which is easy to do as well). Doesn't dry fast in the tube unlike other l'oreal mascaras. The price is good 6-7$. Definitely will be buying it again. — 6 years, 8 months agovenenumletalis | 176 reviews

Great VolumeI really love this mascara because it has a great color and really adds fullness and volume to my lashes. The wand coats each lash and adds length and doesn't clump. I love using this for a dramatic look because it makes my lashes look so much fuller and healthier. — 8 years, 1 month agoStef42678 | 500 reviews

GoodIts good mascara if you want volume vs length. When i use this i also have to use telescopic or soemthing that gives you more lift. This lasts all day and is a good shade of black. I recommend this! — 4 years, 9 months agorayshaviolet | 245 reviews
No re-pumping neededThis mascara gives you thick, dramatic, fake lash look in only a few sweeps. I could coat both eyes without having to put back the wand in the tube. If you like the fake lash, voluminous look, this is the best one for the price. The blackest black will give you the darkest color that will pop your eyes. — 7 years, 10 months agoMakeupGuru | 444 reviews
AMAAAZING.First off, I LOVE the big fluffy brush that this comes with. I bought a two pack from Target, and the first tube has lasted me a little over a month. This product hasn't dried out AT ALL! Usually mascaras start feeling dry/clumpy at the end of their use, but this one is great. It is a little wet when first opened, however. Loved it — 6 years, 3 months agoeatinglipstick | 145 reviews
Good mascara, bad applicatorI've become more fond of this mascara by using a different applicator. The brush on this mascara isn't flattering and you get clumps. Bottom line is the applicator feels cheap. — 7 years, 3 months agoSwoldierGirl72 | 342 reviews

Collagen clumping is more like itIt's rare that I come across a mascara that I really, really dislike. Unfortunately, this is one of them. Brand new out of the package this mascara was a dry clumply mess. Even cleaning the brush off with a tissue didn't help. One swipe left my lashes stuck together and annoyingly troublesome to separate because they kept sticking back together. This mascara went back to the store the next day. — 6 years, 10 months agoradar626 | 326 reviews

Not the Best from L'orealI liked this mascara initially but then I did noticed that towards the end of my day the mascara would sometimes flake off. I got compliments on the Mascara from friends saying that my lashes did look volumized. It gets extra points for that. I would try it will a clear base first to cut down on the flaking from multiple layers. I would use this for going out but not for a full days wear unless I am only using one coat. I prefer the L'Oreals telescopic mascra (gold). — 7 years, 6 months agoMzWayne | 74 reviews
Pretty ThickThis mascara is pretty good if you're looking for volume. The brush is HUGE compared to most mascaras, but it's a little easier to smear if you're not careful. One coat is pretty good, although I have fine/short/blonde lashes, so I prefer two coats. It does give a really nice look and lasts all day (even under fluorescent lights. — 7 years, 10 months agoThePastyHarlot | 173 reviews

MIAMI - The University of Miami has opened its new Life Science and Technology Park, which is expected to bring South Florida into the biotech industry and create jobs.
University of Miami President Donna Shalala, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez and others were present at a dedication ceremony for the new facility on Northwest Seventh Avenue in Tuesday morning.
The park's research labs are expected to produce lifesaving scientific breakthroughs.
"This is more than a building, more than a first building. This is a place where education, research and technology intersect with discovery and innovation," Shalala said.
Researchers at the park are working to improve and save lives. On Tuesday, one technician was processing tissue grafts.
"There's a lot of medical needs. A lot of the tissue is not just used for walking, but it's also used for spinal surgery, for mandible reconstruction, oral maxillofacial purposes. All types of surgery need some type of allograft," said Edgar Maldonado, of the UM Tissue Bank.
The building opened this week is one of five planned buildings in the park. The first phase alone is expected to employ more than 1,000 people.
"This park puts Miami-Dade County on the map. It gives us a firm foothold in the growing biotech industry, as it creates the long-term potential to fuel a thriving biotech industry in Miami-Dade County, bringing needed diversity to our local economy and creating new jobs," said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez.
The development was paid for not by taxpayers but by the developer, Wexler. It did get $60 million in federal stimulus money in the form of a loan that will be paid back.
A group of protesters from Overtown was present during the dedication ceremony. They think UM has ignored the residents of Overtown.
UM officials said they have worked to reach out and put Overtown residents to work there.

This Kidd spilled drink video is being analyzed as if it's the Zapruder film.
That was the best move Kidd has made as a coach so far.
I think I started the Deng for Verajao + Waiters +draft pick angle that has been covered on every basketball site today. I posted that gem the night Rose got hurt. It propagated the media via writers looking for new Pacer topics to cover. That's my story.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
So yeah...the internet has now been tasked with making creative gifs of Jason Kidd, I mean he's got a dwi, and the "Hit Me" opens up a whole new can of worms.
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."
----------------- Reggie Miller
man that's rock bottom. lmfao.
LOL Jason Kidd. That was brilliant. I dont care how cheap it was or if he gets fined. That was gold. Did he tip the waitress atleast?
Are they really saying Waiters AND a pick for Deng? Deng's an unrestricted free agent this year and the Cavs are gonna have a terrible record. What in the world.
Knicks are 3-11 and have lost 7 straight and are only three games out of first in their division.
east sucks so badly.
Nailed it. $50K according to Woj.
Maybe they should dock the Nets one timeout for the next 10 games.
Isn't being coached by Jason Kidd enough punishment though? It'd be a more effective punishment to suspend Lawrence Frank (with pay of course) instead of Kidd.

"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
Ron Artest comments on the Knicks' losses:
Perhaps the only Knicks player in the locker room with a somewhat sunny disposition was Metta World Peace, who was playing in his first game back at Staples Center after the Los Angeles Lakers used their amnesty rights on his contract in the offseason.
"We're not struggling," World Peace said. "It's part of life. You know how life is. We had a bad hair day, you know?"
World Peace signed with the Knicks in the offseason, passing up an opportunity to stay in Los Angeles with the Clippers, largely because of the lure of winning in New York.
"I honestly didn't even know who the coach was when I was coming to New York," World Peace said. "I just wanted to win a championship; I didn't even know who was coaching. I didn't care. It could have been Aunt Jemima. They could have had the syrup coaching. I was coming here regardless. I just wanted to win a championship here."
Ron Artest enjoying himself and still being batshit crazy is awesome entertainment for Pacers fans especially since it comes at the expense of the New York Knicks.

One of the richest guys in sports would have his own plane.
Real GM has a story that Iggy was Mark Jackson's "mole" on Nuggets last year, according to George Karl. Wow, if true.
Nets getting waxed again. How long before the russian fires Kidd, if this keeps up? ASB?
On a night like tonight, I'd like to see Paul George play less than 30 minutes rather than maintain his average. We need to think about managing minutes more.
Lawrence Frank would just take the official head coaching position.....er wait isn't he already the coach?
