STEP 1: DNA strands assemble to form designed structures
1)Optimize the condition to assemble OCK
The DNA nanostructure, "Oligomeric Cell Killer" , was designed to achieve our goal(-->Project).
The result of simulation by "CanDo[1]" showed the shape and flexibility of OCK. To know the optimum condition of the structure assembly, we did experiments in three conditions as follows.
- At different concentration of MgCl2
- At different incubate temperature
- At different length of incubate time
Fast-migrating species upon agarose-gel electrophoresis was yielded at 10~20mM MgCl2 condition. At higher MgCl2 concentration, a sub-band, which might be a dimer, appeared.
Fast-migrating species upon agarose-gel electrophoresis was yielded at 52.0 °C.
The band for 3h is fast migrated and sharp.
2) TEM imaging of the 3D structure of OCK
Gel electrophoresis cannot visualize the 3D structure of OCK, so it was confirmed by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). ( protocols )

I thought taking the knee was anti-Peyton. Especially with two timeouts.
Here's the article.
As for what Elway would have done in the situation?
Denver had a 99.9% probability of winning when Balt. was at the 30 with 41seconds left."I thought it was the right thing at that time," Elway said. "I think with where the team was mentally and the situation we were in, I thought that it was a good move."

Joe Montana played with Jerry Rice (best receiver of all time) on a team that was pro-bowl caliber within most positions before the salary cap era. He played for Bill Walsh, a coach who was regarded as the best during his era, and a guy who created the west coast offense which was new and pretty much unstoppable at the time. He also had the help of an elite defense
He's got 4 rings and a playoff record of 16-7. Of his 16 victories, 12 came in the years they won the SB, with 4 1st playoff game exits. His teams failed to make the playoffs in 3 seasons. He doesn't have the stats that many modern QB's have because he played during a different era.
One of the first of the "clutch quarterbacks". I NEVER got to see him play except for when he played for KC, but I know enough about football to know he was a great great player.
Tom Brady: played with the greatest coach of his era in Bill Belichick. Leaned heavily on the running/short passing game early on within his career. Is 17-6 in the playoffs with 3 SB rings, and 5 SB appearances (about to be 6) Has failed to make the playoffs once in his career, and has lost the first playoff game twice. Was involved in "spygate" where the Pats were basically accused of filming practice walk through's of the rams before the SB. In spite of having record setting offenses, team has yet to win a SB following spygate scandal. In fact, as Brady's stats have risen (starting in the 2007 F-U season) the Pats have been 5-4 in the playoffs.
Prior to 2007, Brady averaged 226.5 passing yds/gm. He was 12-2 in the playoffs.
Since 2007, Brady has averaged 289.6 yds/gm and is 5-3 with 2 SB losses to the Giants.
Obviously both of these guys are great. But I feel they have had some benefits that Peyton hasn't, mainly in the coaching department. Mora, Dungy, Caldwell, and Fox are good to very good coaches. None of them are known for exotic/groundbreaking trailblazing with X's and O's the same way that Belichick and Walsh are. (Dungy was known as a Master motivator, and defensive guru with the "tampa 2" but he was never an innovator offensively at all)
(and Yes I know Peyton played under Tom Moore, so I'm not trying to understate that fact)
Here are a few links that dive deeper into Manning's post season career. Takes into account field positioning, average td drive length, etc. Some interesting info:
And the Manning vs Brady argument
100% factually inaccurate! This may seem a minor point, but I've learned that 95% of people actually believe this made-up crap.
Taping of practices was a February 2008 pre-super bowl media surprise allegation that emerged 5 months after spygate, was denied, was refuted, and then was retracted on the front page of the paper that broke the made-up story, one week after the super bowl.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3395152"On Feb. 2, 2008, the Boston Herald reported that a member of the New England Patriots' video staff taped the St. Louis Rams' walk-through on the day before Super Bowl XXXVI. While the Boston Herald based its Feb. 2, 2008, report on sources that it believed to be credible, we now know that this report was false, and that no tape of the walk-through ever existed...The Boston Herald regrets the damage done to the team by publication of the allegation, and sincerely apologizes to its readers and to the New England Patriots' owners, players, employees and fans for our error."
Spygate was the practice of using a staff member, in plain sight and wearing team apparel, during games, to videotape from the sidelines. Nothing more, nothing less.
You can of course try to argue that spygate may have helped Brady, but if you do so I think it's important to separate myth from fact first!

Lol didnt know it was crap when it was being reported. I retract it from my argument
nfl.com article suggests that the Ravens DBs were getting increasingly confident as the game went on, creeping up, on the theory that Peyton was unwilling to try to throw deep.

This isn't as well-done as the other fake "texting" conversations but some might still get a chuckle out of it:

Okay, who's ready to tell me that going 30/42 396yrds 3td 1int gets the blame for not winning?
Atlanta took a 17-0 lead with 14:54 left in the second quarter. That's essentially taking a 17-0 lead with three quarters left. Yet they'd only score seven more points the entire rest of the game, and zero in the second half of the ball game. Ryan had a great overall day statistically, and if fantasy football were still going on then I'm sure his owners would have been happy. But he didn't do enough to win the game at home. If you're up 17-0, you gotta put a choke hold on the other team and win the game. Ryan played phenomenal at the very beginning of the game, but didn't do enough to win it.
I really can't see Manning taking that knee unless his coach specifically told him to do it. It doesn't make sense with all that I've seen of Peyton throughout his career. The interception in OT made absolute sense and was very Peyton-esque, though.
Honestly after seeing Brady yesterday I thought Manning's game doesn't seem so bad now..
Of course different teams different matchups etc.
Yeah, at least Manning scored in the second half.
I can see it if he knew his arm wasn't a threat to get the ball down the field. ...Of course they only needed a FG and had TO's so who knows?
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
It's like saying, X basketball player deserves the blame for a loss when he goes for 40pts on 12-17 shooting 6rebs 5assists and 2tos. Sure, they can play better, but they did more than their part. You've got to start looking at other facets of the game that were much bigger problems.

Football is a situational game. There's a big difference between putting up points in the first quarter versus putting points up at the end of the game in a pressure cooker situation when the other team has had time to make adjustments. Atlanta was able to come out hot in their loud dome against a rattled Niners team and hang up some points at the very beginning. That wasn't very surprising. However, the Niners are way too good of a team to get bulldozed, and everyone knew that they would make a run. They also had the whole game for their elite defense to make adjustments against the Falcons, and that's why scoring in the fourth quarter of the NFC Championship game is much different than putting up 17 points at the very beginning. The 17-0 lead doesn't matter anymore when you're carrying a narrow 3 point lead into the fourth quarter. Your offense scoring a bunch at the beginning doesn't mean that they should be absolved blame for not being able to make a play at the end of a game in a pressure situation. Ryan fumbled a snap and had a terrible interception. If that offense makes just one big play in the second half, the Falcons win that game. They didn't get the job done. Jumping up to an early 17-0 lead might be enough to get them past the Panthers in the regular season, but you have to do more than that against a team like SF in the NFC Championship game.
I don't put a ton of stock into the statistical aggregate when judging a player's performance in a crucial game like this. Like I said, if Ryan were on your fantasy team yesterday then you would have been very happy about his performance. But in the real game, his points were front-loaded in the beginning and he failed to make a winning play in the second half, which is what you have to do if you want to play in the Super Bowl. Conference championships aren't won by putting up zero points in the second half. Remember, Atlanta's inability to put a game away almost allowed Seattle to come back and win last week. You might be able to get away with it one time, but you can't win back to back playoff games by replicating that formula.
In the four second half quarters at home this postseason, Atlanta put up just ten total points: 10 against Seattle and zero against San Francisco. They didn't deserve to be in the Super Bowl.

I get what you're saying, but at the same time do you really think it's realistic to expect even better play out of your QB than what Ryan did?
From what I've gathered from all of this is that whenever a team loses, it's always the QB's fault. Everything you said applies to pretty much every game. The top 5 QBs in the NFL are sitting at home right now. Looks pretty clear to me that if you expect to step up and win in the playoffs, you've got to depend more than just having the best player on the field and thinking they can simply carry you there. Watching 12 seasons of the Colts having the best QB in the league, and then floundering in the playoffs as the big gaping holes are ripped open was enough visual evidence, watching other teams struggle with defense and running only reinforces it all.
I think you're downplaying the importance of the other 21 full time starters and their influence on what happens.
And that's been my point throughout this. We get practically similiar stats from QBs. One is a loser, the other are the two best QBs in the postseason of all time. The difference between them is razor thin, other than record. Clearly, there's something else going on.
Last edited by Since86; 01-22-2013 at 10:17 AM.
I agree that the line is razor thin. Tom Brady has always said that "it's a game of inches" in his postgame press conferences. He knows that all too well because he was a fluke Tyree catch away from having a perfect season which would have without question crowned him as the greatest of all time. If Garcon catches that wide open pass or if the Saints don't onside kick it, then Manning probably has two rings and would certainly be the GOAT on many more lists. But that's just football.
But yes, I do think it's realistic to expect better play out of a QB than Ryan. Jumping out to a 17-0 lead against a Niner team that was rattled early on in the loud dome certainly helps, but that's not where the game is won. His offense put up 24 points total. That will win you a lot of games against the likes of the Bucs or Panthers, but it wasn't enough against a Niner team with a hot offense, in a dome for the NFC Championship. The 17-0 lead is meaningless when you're carrying a narrow 3 point lead into the fourth quarter. At that point, you need your potent offense to make a play if you want to advance to the holy grail of sporting events. Atlanta was not able to make a play when they had to and that's why they are sitting at home. Sure the defense also has to be held accountable, but it's not like Ryan did them any favors when he turned the ball over twice in crunch time. Also, Atlanta's lack of points in the second half shows that they were putting together very short drives, meaning that the tired defense was constantly being trotted back onto the field.
I'm not saying that Ryan played "bad" by any means. He certainly played well enough to win a lot of games. But the Super Bowl is for the best of the best and you almost certainly have to make clutch plays at the end of the ball game against an elite opponent if you want to make it to the Super Bowl. Kaepernick did, Ryan didn't. I personally cannot classify Ryan's play as anything better than "OK" when he put up a big fat zero in the second half.
I watched all of those Colts games too, and I would rank our under-performing offense as a major reason for us coming up short so many times. The defense played well enough in games (Pitt, N.O.) for us to win if our offense had played up to its billing.
Don't want to mediate here but what you both say here is right and the truth, like most times, is in the middle. Yes, you need a big play to win in the playoffs and the QB should have steel balls to make it happen or at least initiate it. Yes, it would look bad if his team doesn't score for a whole half in their biggest match of the season so far. Yes, some QBs are regarded better if you judge them by their playoff record.
BUT don't forget that this is a TEAM sport. A collective effort. Manning, had he won that game vs Baltimore, everyone on the next day would have sung his praises. His numbers were more than good. Yes, he threw two picks (one pick 6 that should have been a PI) but let's be honest here. The defense is first to put the blame on and has a large share of responsibility. Not all of it of course but a big chunk of it. Sure, Brady has a far better record than Peyton in the playoffs. Does that make him better or more clutch than Peyton? Maybe. Probably. But what I know for sure is that the rest of Brady's teammates stepped up too when they had to and helped their team when needed. You could argue Peyton or Ryan in this case, didn't have that help.

Operation Game Thief Nets Poachers, Big Fines
AUSTIN, Texas — Phone calls to Operation Game Thief by concerned citizens this summer resulted in the conviction of two individuals on 38 misdemeanor fishing-related charges and fines totaling more than $13,000 when the cases were adjudicated in September.
In one case, a Nueces County game warden received a phone call about a vessel tied-up to an offshore production platform in state waters south of Corpus Christi. The caller said the individuals on board were keeping everything they caught.
The game warden alerted colleagues and launched a boat in record time, entering the Gulf of Mexico through the newly opened Packery Channel. Another phone call from the complainant provided the warden with the general heading and a description of the boat, which had left the first location.
When game wardens boarded the boat, within four miles of shore, the captain produced a Federal Reef Permit and claimed all of his fish were caught outside of state waters. The game warden left the area but circled around to observe the vessel at its next stop and boarded the boat again when crew members were observed catching fish.
After the vessel was docked in Port Aransas and offloaded, the final count was 2,212 pounds of fish (sold to the highest bidder), including 2,094 pounds of Red snapper. More than two dozen citations were issued to the vessel owner.
In processing the individuals aboard the boat, it was found that the seven crewmembers shared 62 prior violations with TPWD. One individual had 45 pending cases, and the vessel owner had six prior citations.
The owner entered a plea agreement, reducing court-ordered fines from $500 per violation to $365, resulting in a total of $9,490 in fines and an additional $9,612.82 in civil restitution.
Another call to Operation Game Thief this summer sent a second Nueces County game warden to a local pier where an angler had been observed keeping over-limit, under-size and over-size fish. The call came in at about midnight, and the game warden quickly set up surveillance on the pier and observed the individual catching and keeping fish, then making repeated trips to his vehicle with a white, 5-gallon bucket. After six hours, the subject decided it was time to leave and when he returned to his vehicle with his bucket and fishing gear, the game warden was there to greet him.
After sorting and counting the fish, the warden issued 12 citations for over-limt and under-size spotted seatrout and red drum.
When the charges were adjudicated, the judge agreed to a plea agreement in which the defendant is to pay $300 in fines per violation, for a total of $3,600, plus $672.57 in civil restitution.
Operation Game Thief is Texas' privately-funded wildlife "crime-stoppers" program. Rewards of up to $1,000 may be paid to tipsters (who may remain anonymous).
Since its inception in 1981, Operation Game Thief has fielded more than 28,000 tips, filed more than 9,000 cases – with a 98 percent conviction rate — and netted more than $1 million in fines. The program has paid-out rewards totaling more than $200,000.
"Any law enforcement program must have two things to be successful: public support and court-applied penalties sufficient to be a deterrent," said Lawson "Buddy" Turner, OGT program director. "Operation Game Thief is the crucial link in the partnership between the sporting public and game wardens in terms of catching poachers. One timely, two-minute phone call to OGT can – and often does – result in an apprehension that has significant impact, both in resource conservation and deterrence."
In 1995, the legislature authorized OGT to make grants to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to purchase sophisticated law enforcement tools such as night-vision equipment and side-scan sonar. To date, those grants total more than $117,000.
To report illegal hunting, fishing or boating activity, call Operation Game Thief 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, at 1-800-792-GAME.
Game wardens recommend making the call immediately when illegal activity is observed, and say it is helpful to have a description of the activity, location of the violation, physical descriptions of alleged violators, description of any vehicles or boats and the direction of travel.

Brian Noble hailed Salford full-back Jake Mullaney as being "worth his weight in gold" after his brilliant touchline conversion helped the Red Devils to a stunning Challenge Cup win at Hull.
Rangi Chase's golden-point drop-goal was the deciding score but in truth it was Mullaney's outstanding touchline conversion with the last kick of normal time that was the winner.
The Australian defied a partisan crowd of just over 5,000 to upgrade Francis Meli's hat-trick try and level at 36-all, which allowed Chase to go on and secure a 37-36 victory.
"Pressure eh?" Noble said of Mullaney's kick.
"He was furious with himself after the game because he doesn't feel he had the best game but he's worth his weight in gold when he lands one from the sideline.
"When that happens you just hope for the best. I didn't know if he would kick it. He's been kicking the ball sweet in practice and, when there's been so many fantastic things in the game and it comes down to a goal kick, it's great."
Salford had trailed 28-18 at one stage and looked set to follow up last week's 30-8 league defeat with a first-hurdle cup exit.
But some superb playmaking from Chase and reliable finishing from veteran wing Meli kept them alive and allowed them the chance to record a first victory at Hull since they knocked them out of the cup at the same stage five years ago.
"We saw a lot more from us tonight," coach Noble added.
"Hull didn't make a mistake in the second half and that made it hard for us. What you clearly saw was our team spirit and attitude is intact.
"We knew Hull were a good team and we gifted them quite a lot of plays from what we did. We relinquished field position but the way they handled extra-time and golden point was first class."
While Noble rightly celebrated, opposite number Lee Radford was left to bemoan a tale of two drop-goals.
Jacob Miller was off target with one for Hull as they led by six points and was then a mere spectator as Chase landed his effort.
"We had a drop-goal 12 metres out and you fancy your chances," he said.
"But then they come up with that one and that's why Salford pay the big cash for the players they have."
Radford restored some pride in his first season as a coach with last week's win which came after a home humbling by Widnes, but he clearly felt a step back had been taken in this one.
"We didn't make them work hard enough. The young ones did the job but we didn't make them work hard enough for anything," he added.
"We scored 36 and that should have been enough. We conceded 37. It was they score, we score as a game and we just didn't make them work hard enough."

"Chronic hepatitis C continues to be a major public health issue in
Canada and the positive results from these studies provide new hope to
patients and those who treat the disease," says Alnoor Ramji, M.D.,
Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia and
a study investigator. "With future therapies, such as MK-5172 and
MK-8742, we are on the path to highly effective non-interferon based
regimens to eradicate HCV in a broad range of HCV patients, including
those that are more difficult to treat."
C-WORTHY Study
In the C-WORTHY Study, 65 patients (45 per cent male, 11 per cent
African American, and 58 per cent genotype 1a infection) were enrolled
in one of three 12-week treatment arms (see TABLE). The ribavirin (RBV)
arms were stratified by genotype 1a versus genotype 1b. The RBV-free
arm included only genotype 1b-infected patients. Virologic response was
assessed each week during treatment and at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks
after the end of treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint of the trial
was the proportion of patients who achieved sustained virologic
response at post-treatment follow-up week 12 (SVR12).
The primary analysis population was per protocol, including patients who
did not have protocol violations and had received the correct study
medications. A total of 58/65 enrolled patients met these criteria (see
Of the seven patients who were not in the per-protocol population, four
achieved SVR12 and three discontinued early for reasons other than
adverse experiences or virologic failure.
Among the entire study population of 65 patients, one patient (1.5 per
cent) experienced a relapse with detectable HCV RNA at follow-up week 4
and 12.
Primary Analysis Population: Per Protocol*
MK-5172 (100 mg) + MK-8742 (20 mg)
+ ribavirin
MK-5172 (100 mg) + MK-8742 (50 mg)
+ ribavirin
MK-5172 (100 mg) + MK-8742 (50 mg)
The most frequently reported adverse events occurring in the study were
fatigue (26 per cent), headache (22 per cent), nausea (18 per cent),
diarrhea (12 per cent), dizziness (11 per cent) and rash (11 per cent).
The incidence of anemia (10 mg/dL hemoglobin) and elevated total
bilirubin levels to 2 times the upper limit of normal was 19 percent
and 4 per cent, respectively, in the RBV containing arms (combined arms
1 and 2), and 0 per cent and 0 percent, respectively, in the RBV-free
arm. No grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities were observed. There were
eight cases of rash. Seven cases of rash were observed in the
ribavirin-containing arms; half of these cases were attributed to
ribavirin. The single case in the RBV-free arm was not study drug
related and was mild in intensity. No early discontinuations due to
drug-related adverse events were recorded.
The C-WORTHY trial has been expanded to evaluate the safety and efficacy
of MK-5172 and MK-8742, with or without RBV, in difficult-to-cure HCV
genotype 1-infected patient populations. Approximately 400 additional
HCV genotype 1-infected patients have been enrolled in this trial. The
expanded C-WORTHY study is testing:
Details on the C-WORTHY Study, as well as additional phase II trials for

"We are encouraged by these preliminary data for the combination of
MK-5172 and MK-8742," said Dr. Eliav Barr, vice president infectious
diseases, Merck Research Laboratories. "These data provide further
support that we can advance these candidates, which are currently in
Phase IIB clinical development, into a broader evaluation in a diverse
range of HCV patients."
Hepatitis C in Canada
Over 300,000 people in Canada are infected with chronic hepatitis C1 and there are 3,200 to 5,000 newly infected individuals each year.2 Chronic hepatitis C is a "silent" disease because often no symptoms
appear until your liver is severely damaged. If your body is not able
to fight off the virus, you may develop chronic hepatitis which can
lead to cirrhosis (liver scarring), liver failure and even liver cancer
later in life.1

Aargh!! The pirates are back – just in time for Halloween.
They'd established a beachhead three years ago on Manor Way in Los Altos, occupying the entire front yard of Jill and Dane Glasgow's Mediterranean-style home. They first arrived by dinghy, but last year they came in a 35-foot schooner and added village "improvements" such as a lighthouse, fortified tower and more cannon power to keep away the riffraff.
It is better this year – just as Dane promised. "We needed new props to continue the story," he said. "This is the most challenging and complicated display yet."
His crew of friends, eBay coworkers and neighbors heartily agree. The new centerpiece, a 12-foot-tall skull rock waterfall, was a 3 1/2-month project enlisting close to 10 people, including Jill, who has become an expert at making and painting paper mache. The skull is a key part of next year's story.
This is the first year for an off-site workshop, which had the neighborhood wondering if the pirates were coming back.
Not only are they back, but one is fully animatronic. Robotics is a hobby of Dane, who majored in computer science major at Cornell University.
This year features more automation and special effects. For example, the cannons will roll out, fire and retract.
The castle tower, which towers over the Glasgows' house, and a new stone wall embedded with skulls will catch fire and burn. The simulated fire effects include burnt "logs" with flickering embers.
Dane employs the same DMX lighting software used in theaters. "It basically orchestrates the show," he said.

Jackson slides to seventh in lineup
DETROIT -- Austin Jackson began the season as part of the Tigers' solution in the middle of the order, bumped out of the leadoff spot to take more of a run-production role. With Jackson in the midst of an early-season slump, he's taking on a lower role.
Jackson batted seventh in the Tigers' batting order on Tuesday, his second time there in a week. Both occasions have come with Don Kelly and J.D. Martinez in the lineup.
Jackson returned home from a 2-for-24, nine-strikeout West Coast road trip. He entered Tuesday batting 10-for-70 with 19 strikeouts over his last 19 games.
Like the slump, the move down isn't likely to be long term. He has been batting fifth or sixth nearly every day during the skid, and manager Brad Ausmus has stated his faith in Jackson hitting his way out of it.
"I've said this a number of times: He's actually hit the ball better than his average," Ausmus said. "He struck out a few times in Seattle, but he's hit some balls hard, too. The balls he's hitting hard aren't falling for hits, and the balls that he's hitting soft aren't falling for hits. It usually adds up to a slump.
"He's working hard to get out of it. He's a much better player, a much better hitter than he's shown. If water finds its level, he should hit the ball well."

History 100 Resources
Starting in the fall 2010 semester, the requirements for the history major will change. This change will only affect incoming majors starting in fall 2010; those declaring the history major prior to fall 2010 will complete their degrees according to our existing requirements. The new history major will eliminate HIS 294 (Intro to Historical Research) and will not require HIS 350 (Historiography), though 350 will be offered as an elective. In addition, as part of the new major, all incoming history majors starting in fall 2010 will be required to take a new course, HIS 100, Introduction to History. This course will serve as a basic introduction to reading, writing, and thinking as an historian. The following is a list of critical links that students in HIS 100 will use.
This guide is a list of terms compiled by WCSU's history department that we believe you should be familiar with by the end of your history career, with quick definitions.

Citation and Bibliography guides
The history department expects that students completing research papers provide footnote citations consistent with the guidelines of the Chicago Manual of Style, which is the style consistently preferred in history journals. An abbreviated version of the Chicago Manual of Style can be found in Kate Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Seventh Edition (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2007). The department recommends that history majors purchase a copy of this work.

Sting: How the journey should end
by, 10-23-2013 at 11:45 AM (7790 Views)
The Icon. The Enigma. The man called Sting. What a career this legend has had. Clash of Champions going 45 minutes with Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight title. Finally beating Flair at Starrcade for that same title. The bull-rope matches with Vader. His epic feuds with the Four Horsemen. I can go on and on. He spent over a decade as the Franchise of WCW before its demise. Vanished into thin air then resurfaced as the go to guy for TNA. Now there are some very serious talks of him being at Wrestlemania 30. Let us explore this rumor a bit more shall we?
Sting has been THE lone hold out of great superstars to never walk through the WWE curtains. He has stood his ground and never made the jump because, in his own words, he never thought he could trust Vince to maintain the integrity of the Sting character. Maybe this is a little bit of Sting's ego showing but I tend to agree with him to an extent. If we look at Vince's track record with the old WCW stars he did tend to over "enhance" them once they jumped ship. (Think polka dots.) But in all honesty maybe Sting should've tried a little harder to understand Vince. The WWE handled Flair with great class and only enhanced his legend status. In the 90's I can only imagine that McMahon was salivating over the prospect of Sting versus Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels. Why did he never come to WWE? Only Sting really knows the answer.
So all of this begs the question: Should Sting finish his career with WWE and show up at Wrestlemania 30? My opinion is yes. Its time for him to step back on the big stage and make and impact. The old days of WCW vs. WWE are gone and no one wants to waste anymore bullets on that dead war. As for Vince and the WWE it would be a great boost and, judging by the current ratings drop and fan reaction, they need it.
If he does make the move there are some intriguing match ups. Icon vs. Undertaker. The man called Sting vs. The World's Largest Athlete: Unfinished Business. Or perhaps Icon vs. Cena. It would be a true passing of the torch type match. (The Rock and Cena are too close in age and Rocks career ended early due to his acting for that to be termed a passing of the torch IMO.)
TNA has been a great platform for Sting to perform on for several years but it is time to move on. As a fan, I sure hope he does. I will mark out like no other if I hear his music hit on the grandest stage of them all. One thing is for sure, if he does come over for WM30 it will be done with class and respect on both sides. The name "Sting" and the legend attached to it deserves nothing less.

Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving, eyes on the road. Another man next to him, telling stories that don t add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And next to her, a huge man with a broken nose, hitching a ride east to Virginia.
An hour behind them, a man lies stabbed to death in an old pumping station. He was seen going in with two others, but he never came out. He has been executed, the knife work professional, the killers vanished. Within minutes, the police are notified. Within hours, the FBI descends, laying claim to the victim without ever saying who he was or why he was there.
All Reacher wanted was a ride to Virginia. All he did was stick out his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride. He has tied himself to a massive conspiracy that makes him a threat to both sides at once.
In Lee Child s white-hot thriller, nothing is what it seems, and nobody is telling the truth. As the tension rises, the twists come fast and furious, keeping readers guessing and gasping until the explosive finale.

Bestseller Child's surprise-filled 17th Jack Reacher novel (after 2011's The Affair) takes the ex-military policeman on a wild road ride that builds to a terrific slam-bang climax. While hitchhiking one winter night in Nebraska with a broken nose that makes him look more than usually disreputable, Reacher is picked up by two men and a woman wearing identical cheap blue shirts. The fun begins when clues suggest that the men in the car are responsible for the brutal murder of another man at an abandoned pump station. The role of the woman in the car remains unclear. Sheriff Victor Goodman is quick to call the FBI, which arrives in the person of Julia Sorenson, only the first of many agencies and agents heard from. While the erratic trip through America's heartland doesn't always follow a logical path, Reacher displays his acuity, patience, endurance, and military skills in the exhilarating fashion series fans have come to expect.

Hey I've been playing Disc Golf for about 2-3 days now with about 3-4 hours of practise time. I realize that is not a lot but the questions stands.
I have 2 discs. Both Innova. One is a Valkery and the other is a Cheetah. They cost about 9$ so I thought it would be good to start me off. Anyways after playing I average about 40-50 yards a toss so thats about 120-150 feet If I'm doin my math correctly. However I've noticed that when I am throwing higher to get more range they get controled by the wind. A more expierenced golfer told me that he usually plays with a lot heavier discs, however he isnt that knowledgeable of the sport so I thought I'd head to the community for this one.
Which will get me better range, better form or heavier discs?

MERCER — A Rome man was injured Saturday when he apparently shot himself in the left foot while hunting, according to a press release from the Maine Warden Service.
Andrew Knight, 37, told officials he was hunting with his father, Kenneth Knight, as well as a female junior hunter, off Rome Road when the shooting occurred about 12:30 p.m. Kenneth Knight and the female also are from Rome, the release says.
"(Andrew) Knight stated he was returning from the woods from hunting to meet with his relatives … near the roadside," the release says. "Knight stated he placed the gun barrel on the top of his left foot in a resting position and the firearm discharged. The gun was a Remington, pump-action 12-gauge shotgun loaded with buckshot when the firearm discharged."
Knight was taken by Delta Ambulance to Inland Hospital in Waterville, according to the release. Game Warden Steve Allarie and Sgt. Terry Hughes responded to and are investigating the incident. State police also assisted. Knight was listed in stable condition, the release says.

Positive since 1987
I'm 66 years old and have been positive and undetectable for 26 years. I've had two heart attacks, a triple bypass, multiple ablation procedures for VT, an ICD implant and was near death in December 2011 with congestive heart failure. But because of my otherwise good physical condition—I'm 164 pounds, 5'11," lean, a non-smoker and a non-drinker—and my absolute compliance with my HIV drug regimen, I was given the chance to be put on a list for a heart transplant.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think it possible for an HIV positive individual to be considered for a heart transplant. But my cardiac team at Cedars-Sinai in LA decided I was a good candidate, and after being on the list for only two days, I received a heart from a 19-year-old donor on December 22. I became the first positive person on the West Coast to receive a heart transplant (and one of a few in the world).
Twenty months later, after careful juggling my HIV/antirejection program, I workout, walk three-plus miles every other day and travel the world. I am on the lowest dose of rejection meds on record in their program, with no evidence of rejection. It also helps that my devoted partner of 26 years was a supportive caregiver through it all. We were able to finally get married last July when Prop 8 was overturned.
The point of my story is: If you keep in shape and can maintain a compliant regimen, it is possible to become a transplant candidate in spite of an HIV-positive diagnosis. If you are turned down, try another medical center. I want to get the word out to other positive folks that your diagnosis won't necessarily preclude you from being considered for organ transplantation.
What three adjectives best describe you?
Stubborn, compliant, obsessive
What is your greatest achievement?
Realizing how rich and diverse my life has been
What is your greatest regret?
Not having more insight at a younger age
What keeps you up at night?
Worrying about Medicare/Social Security being tampered with
If you could change one thing about living with HIV, what would it be?
Dealing with the loss of so many friends in the early years of the epidemic
What is the best advice you ever received?
Always pay your medical insurance first!
What person in the HIV/AIDS community do you most admire?
Anthony Fauci (director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases)
What drives you to do what you do?
The wonder of the natural world
What is your motto?
Less is not more. More is more!
If you had to evacuate your house immediately, what is the one thing you would grab on the way out?
My passport/iPhone/iPad
If you could be any animal, what would you be? And why?

I used to practice observation of sensations, and later tried to change to observing mind/mind-objects. But I returned to sensations, as I found observation of sensations was more powerful (in the sense that understanding of anicca and anatta is easier). Furthermore, we need not completely stop observing mind/mind-objects while doing vipassana of vedananupassana (observing sensations). Goenka ji teaches that soon after observing mind and mental content we should switch to observation of sensations associated with the mental state of that moment.

text: DOE slashes gas estimate for Marcellus Shale By Ken Ward Jr. January 23, 2012 Story Share Links at top: Read the report: http://blogs.wvgazette.com/watchdog/CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Federal government analysts on Monday slashed their estimate of the natural gas reserves in the Marcellus Shale formation, and at least one major producer announced plans to cut in half its expenditures on new gas leases in the wake of dropping prices.The U.S. Department of Energy cut its estimate of the Marcellus reserves from 410 trillion cubic feet of natural gas to 141 trillion cubic feet, citing better production information that emerges as drilling operations in the region mature and the exclusion of data from the pre-shale area."Drilling in the Marcellus accelerated rapidly in 2010 and 2011, so that there is far more information available today than a year ago," said the DOE's Energy Information Administration.Last summer, a new estimate from the U.S. Geological Survey had caused a stir, because it was both much smaller than the existing EIA numbers and much greater than the previous USGS figures.The previous USGS figure was about 2 trillion cubic feet, but it was nearly a decade old. New research and more advanced drilling methods led that agency to increase its estimates in a report issued in August 2011.The EIA number of 141 trillion cubic feet released Monday is within the range -- 43 trillion cubic feet to 144 trillion cubic feet -- of those newer figures published by the USGS. But it is significantly greater than the average USGS figure of 84 trillion cubic feet.By comparison, the U.S. consumes about 24.1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas per year.In Monday's preview of its Annual Energy Outlook, due out in April, EIA increased its estimates of cumulative natural gas production between 2010 and 2035 by 7 percent. Total domestics natural gas production is expected to increase by about 1 percent annually over that same time period.But the share of that gas coming from drilling in shale formations like the Marcellus is projected to more than double, from 23 percent in 2010 to 49 percent in 2035, according to EIA.EIA cited technological advances in drilling, but also said that operators are likely to focus on drilling for shale gas in areas where the gas is accompanied by high concentrations of natural gas liquids, such as ethane, butane and propane. These natural gas liquids can provide companies with additional income.In West Virginia, most of the Marcellus reserves are "wet gas," that includes these other materials. West Virginia political and business leaders are hoping this makes the state a likely location for a "cracker" plant that would process natural gas liquids and spur chemical industry growth. State leaders are increasingly focused on the Marcellus boom, hoping growth there would offset a coming projected decline in coal production in Southern West Virginia.On Monday, Chesapeake Energy announced it would respond to "the lowest natural gas prices in the past 10 years" by cutting production and reducing the number of active drilling rigs in "dry gas" areas, including parts of the Marcellus Shale in northeastern Pennsylvania.Chesapeake also said it would cut expenditures on new gas leases from $3.4 billion in 2011 to about $1.4 billion this year, and focus that spending on "liquid-rich plays.""An exceptionally mild winter to date has pressured U.S. natural gas prices to levels below our prior expectations and below levels that are economically attractive for developing dry gas plays in the U.S., shale or otherwise," said Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon. "We have committed to cut our dry gas drilling to bare minimum levels that are likely to be maintained until expected drilling economics on dry gas plays return to levels competitive with expected returns in Chesapeake's lineup of liquids-rich plays, which we believe is the best in the industry."

Tattoo you
The Swedish-language film version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, while altogether serviceable, had a rocky time balancing those elements, but this territory is right up director David Fincher's alley. His English-language remake is almost as bleak as his modern quasi-masterpiece, Se7en, but the topics and the tone? Pure Fincher.
He declares his own stylish mantra during the opening credits: Organic, abstract, even desultory and festishistic images to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' pulsating punk score establishes this as Fincher's version of a Bond film. (It's perhaps no coincidence the lead actor in the proposed trilogy is Bond himself, Daniel Craig.) Mechanical, urban, oppressive — welcome to the worlds of author Stieg Larsson and Fincher.

I wish i could forget why i forgot what i forgot when i was told not to forget what was forgotten on this forgetful day.
Granted, you have an overdeveloped sense of hearing because you're blind.
I wish my gum's taste wouldn't die out after 10 seconds.
I wish every single PC game in my gaming collection was added on my unbannable steam account, with games being retroactively made available on Steam, even if they're from a competing publisher, which means they get automatic updates, don't require a CD in the drive to play and are available everywhere, even if I have no connection to steam or the Internet.
Currently only reading the Funny Pictures Megathread because the rest of the forums is filled with piss, whiners and pissed whiners.
I wish more people knew about Attack The Block. Enjoy Blue.
9 out of 10 people agree that in a room full of 10 people one person will always disagree with the other 9.
granted however you get banned for cheating.
I wish I didn't have to eat.
Granted,you still need food but you cant eat any of it. You die long story short.
I wish i didnt see dead people,or dead fax machines.
KUKUKU I was going to corrupt it but I decided to be nice and give someone else a turn.movie sounded shitty from what Wikipedia said anyway.Originally Posted by Holidae
I wish I knew MATLAB.
But it's the most ornery creature anyone is ever likely to meet. It never misses the chance to bite the shit out of you or crap all over your possessions. Or merely tear them apart. You suspect it might be carrying some weird, highly-infectious diseases as well. And at night that bastard just quacks as loud as it can and you never can get any sleep. It is an absolutely terrible duck that you never should have wished for and immediately regret your role in its creation.
I wish that people would corrupt wishes properly and not add some unrelated bullshit to the side of the wish. Is it too much to ask that the downside of the wish be a product of that which was wished for? I mean, I've seen random meteors from nowhere in corrupted wishes. That isn't a corrupted wish if meteors have nothing to do with the wish. The wish itself has to go bad.
But note that it has been granted accordingly with no frivolous additions. You got exactly what you asked for and nothing more.
I wish I was great at everything.
Granted. You're great at everything. Including being great at sucking at sports, being great at having a small d***, being great at being a loser, etc. EVERYTHING.
I wish it was now or never.

TPWD Proposing To Adjust Spring Turkey Season
AUSTIN, Texas -- The proposal, which was presented to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission's Regulations Committee along with several other suggested changes to the 2007-08 Statewide Hunting and Fishing Proclamation, would open the South Zone season for Rio Grande turkeys two weeks earlier than in recent years and open the North Zone one week later than normal.
"Two years ago, we simplified the season by combining the North and South Zones and added a week to the overall length," Mike Berger, TPWD Wildlife Division Director explained. "After re-evaluating this move, we've opted to move the South Zone up to the Saturday nearest March 18 and the North Zone to open the Saturday nearest April 7. Both zones would retain a 44-day season length."
Berger said the proposed change would increase hunter opportunity by allowing hunters to take advantage of peak gobbling activity, which varies annually across Texas depending on weather conditions. "Since the spring Rio Grande hunting season is limited to only male birds (gobblers) there is little potential for harm to turkey production, given the way landowners manage turkey hunting in the spring," ," Berger went on to note. "Varying the opening date will allow hunters a longer window of opportunity to be in the field when peak gobbling occurs."
"Since the spring Rio Grande hunting season is limited to only male birds (gobblers) there is little potential for harm to turkey production, given the way landowners manage turkey hunting in the spring," ," Berger went on to note. "Varying the opening date will allow hunters a longer window of opportunity to be in the field when peak gobbling occurs."
In addition to the spring turkey season adjustment proposal, wildlife officials are seeking public input and commission guidance on several other recommendations, including:
- Extending the statewide archery-only deer season to the day prior to the opening day of the general open season. Historically, the archery season has always closed the Sunday before the opening of the general season. The proposed change would eliminate the current five-day gap between the end of the archery season and the beginning of the general season.
- Implementing an archery-only open season for mule deer on Managed Land Deer Permit (MLD) properties. Under current rule, Mule Deer MLDPs are not valid during the statewide archery-only season. The proposed change would allow archery-only hunting on MLDP properties during the statewide archery-only season.
- Eliminating the "double tagging" requirement for antlerless mule deer under the MLDP program. When the MLDP program was expanded to include mule deer, it was anticipated that the antlerless mule deer permit would be eliminated. However, there were landowners who preferred to continue receiving the antlerless mule deer permit.
- Adjusting the requirements for management plans for lesser prairie chicken. The proposed change would reduce the number of required habitat management practices from five to three, and would increase the allowable harvest quota to 10 percent of population (currently 5 percent). The breeding behavior of lesser prairie chickens and their large home ranges cause them to use habitat components that are typically provided by more than one landowner. This variability can be problematic for both habitat management and permit issuance, especially when birds are spending only a small portion of their time on a given habitat component. Therefore, the proposed changes would allow staff to issue permits on a more flexible and biologically specific basis.
- Require a tag or wildlife resource document to accompany deer and turkey until the deer or turkey reach either the permanent residence of the possessor or a cold storage/processing facility. By statute, a private, non-commercial, family-owned cold storage/processing facility is not required to maintain a record book attesting to the provenance of deer or turkey within the facility. The proposed change would clarify that tagging and documentation requirements remain in effect for deer and turkey at a non-commercial, family-owned cold storage/processing facility.
- Require taxidermists to maintain a wildlife resource document for two years following the time that each wildlife resource is retrieved by the owner or sold as unclaimed merchandise.
- Create a managed lands permit program that includes provisions for harvesting additional javelina above the daily bag limit on properties where surplus javelina populations have been identified as part of an overall wildlife management plan.

Choose a Child Care Provider with a Permit
The Child Care Permit
Fairfax County residents who care for up to five children in their homes are required by law to have a current family child care permit from the Fairfax County Office for Children. (Residents who care for more than 5 children must be licensed by the state.)
We can help your child care provider become permitted. He or she can start by attending one of our free workshops, "Preparing for Your Family Child Care Permit." For the date and location of our next workshop, child care providers can call 703-324-8100, or visit our Web site at: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ofc.
Permitted Child Care Providers Must Have:
- A current CPR and first aid certificate.
- Emergency preparedness plans, supplies and equipment.
- Thorough background checks of everyone in the home age 14 or older.
- Immunization records of all children in the home.
- A negative tuberculosis test for all adult household residents.
- Rabies records for pets.
- A safety inspection from the Fire Marshal.
- A visit from a child care specialist covering health, safety, nutrition and child development.
- Required professional development.
- Child care sick policy.
Helping Your Child Care Provider
A supportive relationship between you and your child care provider is essential. Here's how you can help:
- Make sure your child care provider has a current child care permit or license.
- Let your child care provider know immediately if your emergency contact information changes.
- Make sure you and your child care provider have a written agreement which covers policies about illness, vacations, fees, hours of operation, and late pick-up/early drop-off.
- Visit your child in care, and participate in your child's activities when possible.
- Ask your child care provider to participate in the USDA Food Program. This will help ensure that your child receives healthy meals and snacks from your child care provider.
- Let the child care provider know how much you value his or her work.

Our History
Civilians have been an integral part of the U.S. Army since the Revolutionary War.
In 1776 the Board of War and Ordnance was established with the responsibility of equipping and dispatching troops; maintaining personnel records and disbursing funds. Five members of the Continental Congress, several clerks and a paid secretary – Richard Peters, the first Army Civilian – comprised the Board. Subsequently the Continental Army hired Civilians for driving, crafts, carpentry, and laborer jobs.
Today Civilians have skills that are crucial to the support of military operations and provide a full complement to the military's occupational specialties.
Play a vital role. Use your talents and skills.

Come join us this summer at the Cal Lacrosse Camp! Camp will be held on the beautiful UC Berkeley campus, located on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay with the central campus resting on 178 acres in Berkeley, California.
Directed by the Head Coach at Cal, Brooke Eubanks, the Cal Lacrosse Camp is for emerging and elite players looking to take their game to the next level! Assisting Coach Eubanks at the camp this summer are assistant coach, Kacie Lewis, a four-year letter winner at UConn, and former Golden Bear standout, Megan Takacs. Space is limited.
The Cal Girls Lacrosse Camp is open to any any all entrants and limited only by number, age and gender.
During her time at Stanford, Eubanks served as the team's offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator with responsibilities such as in-game play calling, scouting opponents and coordinating practices. With her help, the Cardinal won four Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) championships, garnered multiple national top-10 rankings, set a school record for the most wins in a season in program history (16, 2011) and produced four MPSF Players of the Year and one MPSF Rookie of the Year. In addition, Stanford earned IWLCA Division I Merit Squad recognition in 2011.
Prior to her tenure at Stanford, Eubanks was an assistant coach at George Mason from 2006-08. During that span, George Mason collected the school record for wins in a season (12, 2008) and garnered the team's highest national ranking in school history at No. 9. Eubanks served under current Stanford head coach Amy Bokker at both Stanford and George Mason.
As a player, Eubanks was a member of the Canadian Senior National Team from 2003-13, playing in three World Cups. Canada won the silver medal in 2013, with Eubanks serving as team captain. She was second on her team in scoring in the 2009 World Cup, helping the Canadians capture the bronze medal.
Eubanks enjoyed a successful collegiate career at James Madison from 2002-06 where she was a four-year starter and led the squad to three Colonial Athletic Association championships. The Patriots advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament in 2004 and '06. Individually, Eubanks was an all-conference second-team selection and a member of the CAA all-tournament team in both 2005 and '06. She was also named to the 2006 Virginia Sports Information Directors' Association All-State Team.
Raised in Englewood, Colo., Eubanks is the daughter of 1980 Pittsburgh Penguin NHL draft pick Steve McKenzie and was born in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada, while her father was playing minor-league hockey there.
Jennifer Porretto, a two-time team captain at Ohio State, is in her first season as an assistant coach at Cal. Porretto previously served as a volunteer assistant coach for the Buckeyes for the 2016 season.
Porretto was part of the winningest class in program history with 45 victories. She helped the Buckeyes to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances for just the second time in program history during her junior and senior campaigns.
An All-Big Ten performer in 2015, Porretto was second on the team with 41 goals and third with 59 points and 18 assists. She had 15 multiple-point games, including six in a row to end the season, four of those against ranked teams. She scored three goals and had one assist in an upset win over then-No. 1 Maryland in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals.
Porretto finished her career with 101 goals and 31 assists, and she was a two-time member of the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll.

Tiffany Smith - Catawba College
Alicia Florin - Former St. Mary's College player

Groups are made based on registration information....Grad Year and Skill Level. Session 1 of camp will be skill stations and the coaching staff will be doing an evaluation of each group. If there are campers who need to be moved because of group level being too high or too low they will be notified before the next skill based session.
All campers will be divided into teams for scrimmages. All skill levels will be mixed together. The camper with less developed skills will have an opportunity to play up, try new things and learn from their teammates. The camper with higher developed skills will have an opportunity to lead, work on things outside their comfort zone and learn from their teammates. Both are very valuable.
The camp is not allowed to offer any transportation to and from camps. The airport closest to the Berkeley campus is Oakland International Airport; San Francisco International Airport is also within a reasonable distance. Campers are responsible for their own transportation to and from camp.

The dorms were organized and clean. The coaches were friendly and welcoming to parents and campers. The Communication between the parents, coaches, and even the people at USSC was amazing! It really helped parents feel at ease and able to focus solely on our daughters. My daughter said that she learned so much and already sees a lot of improvement. She is so excited to bring all her new skills back to her high school team!
My daughters have participated in many Nike Lacrosse Camps over the last 5 summers and they have all been fabulous! Excellent instruction, flawlessly organized and fun!
The Cal Lacrosse camp had an excellent balance of incorporating intense play and fun athletic games. They put a lot of emphasize on working hard and getting results. The coaches were not only top notch, but friendly and very easy to approach. They made my camp experience so special and meaningful. I will never forget my time at this camp, I hope to go again next summer!
The Cal lax coaches were awesome!! Camp was so much fun and very well organized. I learned a lot of new things and the coaches force you to really push yourself. I would recommend this camp to others due to the level of experience and knowledge of it's coaches. The balance of instruction, scrimmages and free time was perfect!
I would highly recommend the Cal Lacrosse Camp to anyone who loves lacrosse and is interested in taking their game to the next level! The coaches are fantastic and the drills always keep you busy. You get a lot of playing time, and it is a great opportunity to play in front of college coaches...and the experience was awesome!
